ASSEMBLY TO PROTEST KLAN PARADE BROKEN UP BY OFFICERS THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY First in Local Circulation. ASSE PARA Kelly Mille SEMBL TRADE B Miller to Assis E PLANS STORY PUBLIC ses of Howard al meeting held the designation city committee Doctor Blue Fight for Grand of Elks Grows vention D COMMITTEEPLANS TO CARRY STORY OF H.U. TO PUBLIC The board of trustees of Howard University at its annual meeting held June 2nd, authorized the designation of an educational publicity committee for the purpose of making the work of Howard University better known to the philanthropic public of the United States. It is in response to the suggestion that "the romantic story of Howard is unknown" that this committee has been appointed. It is recognized that the life of the University will depend more largely in the future upon the appreciation and understanding of the institution by the people at large. Those present at the first meeting of the committee held in New York City at the Prince George Hotel, Monday, July 20th, were the following: Dr. Charles Brown, dean of the Divinity School, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., who is president of the Howard Board of Trustees; Dr. J. Durkee, president of the University; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer; Dr. J. E. Moorland, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. M. F. Wheatland, and Mr. J. R Hawkins, members of the Board of Trustees; Mr. Emory B. Smith, alumni secretary; Mr. E. C. Williams, librarian, Howard University; and Dean Kelly Miller, representing the faculty. It has been decided to enter upon an intensive, well-directed program of educational publicity. To accomplish the purposes in mind, the President of the University, more largely in the future than in the past, will be relieved of the details of internal administration, that he may utilize his outstanding pulpit and platform talents in presenting the claims of the institution to the general public. largely in the ast, will be re- of internal ad- may utilize his 1 platform tal- laims of the in- public. ident Durkee in ment the claims be Dean Kelly the alumni sec- rs and trustees, me as possible, Rachel Waddlet Sues for Divor Will File Asociated with President Durkee in this movement to present the claims of the institution will be Dean Kelly Miller, who along with the alumni secretary, and other officers and trustees, will devote as much time as possible, along with their other work, to making Howard as well known throughout the country as any other institution for Colored people. At the meeting held in New York City, it was decided to appoint a special commitee of four to work out details looking to the preparation of articles, the arrangement for engagements, and for such other general activities as will contribute toward the result for which the trustees are working. This special committee will consist of Doctor Durkee, Doctor Scott, Dean Miller, and Mr. Emory B. Smith. The program, to begin with, will include a series of meetings in important churches, white and colored, of New York City; Boston; Montelair, N. J.; New Rochelle, N. Y.; New Haven, Conn.; Hartford, Conn.; Worcester, Mass.; Springfield, Mass.; Stanford, Conn.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Newport, and Providence, R. I.; Rochester, and Syracuse, N. Y. Meetings in the interest of Howard will not only be held in churches but also before Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Denominational Ministers Meetings, and before Federations of Women's Clubs. It is recognized that results can not be expected until the people of the country know more about the University—its program, its accomplishments, and its needs. Tribune Ads Bring Results --- Vol. V, No. 8 The Washington Tribune Rachel Waddleton Westerfield Sues for Divorce. Husband Will File Cross Bill PUBLISHED WEEKLY The pre-convention fight for election to the office of Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World at the Grand Lodge session, which will be held in Richmond, Va., August 23-28 next, is developing into a battle royal. Field Against Wilson The fight will be between J. Finley Wilson, the present incumbent who is ending his third term and seeking election for a fourth time, and the field. The plan is for the opposition candidates to form a coalition and throw their strength to the one who obtains the greatest number of votes during the early balloting in the Grand Lodge and thus bring about the defeat of Mr. Wilson. It is reported that Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, Pa., and George F. McMechen, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, of Baltimore, Md., have entered the contest for the Grand Exalted Rulership. Others who are seeking the place are J. Dalmus Steele, of New York City, and T. B. Watkins, of Kansas City. Armond Scott Goes West Armond W. Scott, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, who is opposing the reelection of Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, left the city last Saturday night Through Attorneys Thomas Walker and Edmund Hill, Jr., Mrs. Rachel C. Westerfield, of 1340 U Street, Northwest, is suing her husband, Samuel Westerfield, an electrical contractor, of 1503 R Street, Northwest, for a limited divorce. Child Abducted She also asks the court to award her custody of their two children, Samuel, Jr., age 5 years, and Anna Elizabeth, age $2\frac{1}{2}$ years. In her bill Mrs. Westerfield says that her husband has expressed gross dislike for Anna Elizabeth and after driving her from their home on July 9, 1925, he has carried off Anna Elizabeth and kept her whereabouts concealed. She charges that this was done for no other purpose than to add to her misery and torture. Cruel Mrs. Westerfield alleges that her husband has been cruel and abusive in his treatment of her. She says that he often indulged in snatching and dragging her about the room and beating her with his fist over her head and body. In the month of January, she says he assaulted her because she protested against his lowering of a window near their bed during a cold night. He pulled the cover off their daughter, Anna Elizabeth, then about 2 years old, thereby exposing her to the winter blasts, she alleges. She further states that Mr. Westerfield declared that the child was not his and that he was going to kill the child. On the next morning, she says, he carried Anna Elizabeth out in an open car, which resulted in the infant having an attack of pneumonia. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 for the West. He will visit Cuyahoga Lodge in Cleveland and Wolverine Lodge in Detroit. On Thursday night he will be the guest of the Past Exalted Rulers Council in Chicago. On his return he will stop in Pittsburgh. J. Dalmus Steele, who was forced to return to New York City, has resumed his trip South. He has visited Richmond, and it is reported that he made a fine impression there. Mr. Steele after his invasion of the capital was forced to return to New York to be installed as Exalted Ruler of Manhattan Lodge under threat that if he were not present at the installation, his office would be declared vacant. Wilson on Coast Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson is at present on the Pacific Coast. He is not expected to return East before July 23, his office said today. Pride of Newark Lodge No. 93, which the Grand Exalted Ruler recently suspended, has sent out a circular letter bitterly assailing him. He is charged with seeking to displace George E. Bates, Grand Secretary, and venting his spleen on Pride of Newark Lodge for its refusal to endorse him for Grand Exalted Ruler and "one of his henchmen for Grand Secretary." Boston Westerfield Force. Husband Cross Bill Mrs. Westerfield alleges that her husband assaulted her again in April 1925. On the night of July 9, 1925, he also assaulted her, she says, strewing all of her clothing over the floor, walking upon them, beating her over the head and body with his fist, and drove her and their children from the house. They found shelter, she says, in the home of a friend at 1340 U Street. Northwest. Moved to Chicago After their marriage, Mrs. Westerfield alleges, they went to Chicago but returned after two years because of her husband's failure to provide for her properly. She claims that they then lived with her mother, who furnished board and room for only $16 a month. She says that her mother died on December 31, 1923, and three months afterwards she secured a Government job, which paid $95 per month, in order to support herself and children and gave her husband on an average of $40 monthly toward the payment on the premises at 1503 R Street, Northwest. Mr. Westerfield, she says, rented a portion of these premises and collected about $100 a month in rents, no part of which was turned over to her. She asks the court to adjust her interest in this property. Mr. Westerfield has engaged Atty. J. C. Settles and is expected to file his answer some time this week. Mr. Westerfield is a prominent electrical contractor here. At one time he was head of the Boy Scouts. He is a trustee of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. His wife is the daughter of the late Mrs. Waddleton, a prominent church worker. --- The United States Civil Service Commission will take no action on the question of abolishing the use of photographs as a means of identification until the National Alliance of Postal Employees, which recently held its biennial convention here, in some manner places the subject before the Commission, says William C. Deming, president of the Civil Service Commission. Resolution Expunged Mr. Deming, however, is under the impression that the Alliance adopted a resolution criticizing the use of photographs and that it will sooner or later present the question to the Civil Service Commission officially. Upon investigation it was learned that this resolution was expunged from the records in an executive session of the Alliance when it was stated that President Coolidge would issue an executive order abolishing the use of photographs as a means of identification. The issuance of such an executive order is regarded by Government officials as very improbable, inasmuch as the Civil Service Commission be- FRAZIER MILLER TO ADDRESS H.U. ALUMNI HERE FRAZIER MILLER TO ADDRESS H.U. ALUMNI HERE According to reports filtering back into Washington, the general alumni of Howard University is much disturbed over conditions on the hill. Over fifteen alumni clubs have passed resolutions asking for the removal of President Durkee. Dr. William A. Sinclair, former member of the Trustee Board is continuing his trip west arousing the alumni against the President. He has obtained resolutions from the clubs in Gary, Ind., Chicago, Ill., Milwaukee, Wis., Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Neb. Under the name of Howard Welfare League, an organization composed of alumni, students and friends, a big mass meeting will be held at New Bethel Baptist Church, Thursday, July 30th. The principal speaker at this meeting will be Rev. George Frazier Miller of Brooklyn, N. Y., president of the general alumni association. Rev. Miller is said to be a forceful speaker. His speech here will be considered as the views of his organization. An unconfirmed rumor is out to the effect that officials of Howard are now waging a campaign against Rev. Miller, because of his insistence on Dr. Durkee going out. In order to injure Rev. Miller's influence and to prejudice the minds of the alumni body, he is being branded as a radical, socialist, bolshevik and red. Rev. Miller's activities during the late war are also being recalled. His association with Randolph Owens, and Marcus Garvey is also being held against him. It is claimed that the administration is using these tactics in order to prejudice the minds of Congressmen against Rev. Miller and thereby thwart Rev. Miller's efforts to have a Congressional investigation of Howard. Dr. James T. Blue, a physician, of 1825 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, pleaded not guilty when arraigned last Friday before Justice Bailey in the criminal division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia on a charge of having committed an abortion. The indictment charges that Dr. Blue performed an illegal operation upon Helen Houston, deceased, with an instrument, by the use of which internal lacerations and injuries were caused, resulting in the girl becoming mortally sick. This operation, the indictment charges, was performed on March 28, last, and Helen Houston languished until April 18, when she died as a result. There are two counts in the indictment. The only difference in them is that the first count charges that Dr. Blue used a catheter to perform the operation. The second count charges that he used "a certain instrument, a more definite description of which is to the Grand Jurors unknown." The witnesses who testified before the jury included Dr. Albert H. Armstrong and Dr. Dorothy E. Bowling; internes at Freedmen's Hospital, to which the girl was removed on April 16 when her condition had become serious; Mrs. Hattie Houston, the mother of the dead girl; Mrs. Sallie Ingram, Helen's sister who accompanied her to the office of Dr. Blue on the evening the operation was performed; Dr. William G. Lofton, 1737 Eleventh Street, Northwest, who had Helen sent to the hospital over the protest of Dr. Blue, and Detectives Ernest E. Thompson and Robert A. Sanders, who worked up the evidence which resulted in a coroner's jury ordering Dr. Blue held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Helen Houston. Detective Sanders, who was detailed from headquarters to investigate the case, said that he visited Freedmen's Hospital on April 17 and found Helen Houston in a critical condition. She 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. Dr. Blue, Detective Sanders said the girl told him, did not give her any treatment that night but told her to return the next night and bring some money with her. The next evening she urned and Dr. Blue took her into a private room and used an instrument, which gave her some pain, and she paid him $30, Detective Sanders related. She returned to her home and that night she was taken with severe pains, Detective Sanders said the girl told him, and Sunday morning, March 29, she had her mother call Dr. Blue but he did not come until Monday evening. Detective Sanders said that his investigation disclosed the fact that the girl had drawn $30 out of a savings bank on the day the operation is alleged to have been performed. The girl died in Freedmen's Hospital on April 18. She was a 16-year old school girl and lived at 1211 K Street, Southeast. Death was due to an infection after an abortion, causing septic matter to be taken into the blood and causing peritonitis, said Dr. H. E. Martyn, the assistant coroner, who also testified before the grand jury. BIG MASS MEETING HALTED WHEN PRINCIPAL SPEAKER IS ARRESTED ON PLATFORM Negroes, incensed at coming demonstration by hooded order, are now aroused by act of police. All protests against parade ignored. Klan grows bolder as time approaches. Held meeting in Northeast church. Bitter fight to be made to block parade. Everybody protesting. Klan to use government park. The anti-klan meeting scheduled at the Pythian Temple last Wednesday night, came to an abrupt end when Detective Vermillion arrested Capt. Tnomas L. Avaunt, (white), the main speaker of the evening. The arrest of Capt. Avaunt came just before time for him to make his speech against permitting the klan to parade here next month. The auditorium was crowded and a large number had gathered down stairs. The arrest created more excitement. The arrest of Capt. Avaunt was made on a warrant sworn out by Holland Diggs, who gave his address as 325 F Street, S.W., the charge being that Avaunt was operating an employment bureau without license. The police department had fears as to the results of a meeting of this kind, which was called for the expressed purpose of arousing public sentiment against permitting the Ku Klux Klan to parade here August 8th. Nearly 25 members of the Police and Detective force was present in the hall when the arrest was made. While the meeting was not so well advertised, there was much interest in it and the result it would try to obtain. The Negro population of the District, which composes about one-fourth, is thoroughly aroused at the prospect of the hooded order parading here. Every organization of any consequences have protested to the local authorities and to President Coolidge, but all protests have fallen on deaf ears. Many organizations have expressed themselves as being bitter against the Commissioners for the way Office: 920 U Street, N.W.

While the meeting was not so well it and the result it would try to obtain, which composes about one-fourth of the hooded order parading hequences have protested to the local but all protests have fallen on deaf-pressed themselves as being bitter at in which they received their protests. One member of the prominent clergymen's organization told a Tribune reporter that the Commissioners seem to be in favor of a Klan parade and are just passing the buck so as to avoid responsibility. Hundreds of inquiries from out of town people have been received during the past few weeks as to why the local people are permitting the Klan to parade. In as much as numbers of southern cities have refused the order the freedom of their streets for such a purpose, they cannot understand as to why the Nation's Capital would permit the parade. It is claimed that one of the main things held against Avaunt by the authorities here was that when Avaunt was asked by the Police Department a few days ago, if he remembered the race riot of 1919, he said he did and then stated that if any trouble was started on August 8th as a result of the Klan's parade, that the Police Department would be the blame because they permitted the Klan to parade. While the majority of Negroes of Washington are not particular interested in an Anti-Ku Klux Klan organization such as Avant heads, they are desirous of doing everything in their power to prevent the parade on August 8th, and as an influential citizen stated to a Tribune reporter at the meeting last night, the local authorities will drive the Negroes to such organization by the way they are permitting the Klan to operate in Washington. The feeling here is so intense against the Klan parade, that Negroes are willing to do almost anything to prevent it. Colonel Clarence O. Sherrill, a Coolidge appointee, who is in charge of Public Buildings and Grounds, has granted the Klan permission to use the Sylvan Theatre in Potomac Park, a government reservation. While granting the Klan this privilege, the same Col. Sherrill, who is from North Carolina, refused an anti-klan organization permission to use the Monument grounds. The fact that the Klan has been given permission to parade here has given the organization inspiration in these parts. Several white churches have permitted the order to hold meetings in them. Last Sunday night, Klansmen from Washington, and Virginia held a meeting in a church at Washington's Best Advertising Medium.

The hundreds of people who journeyed to Suburban Gardens were surprised as well as angered at this demonstration. The fight to prevent the parade will be kept up it is said. Whether another meeting will be held under other auspices later could not be learned. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Mrs. Marian Butler Society Editor spending their scmmer at Sheepshead Bay, N.

OF HYGIENE COUNCIL ~ Sir Aukland Geddies, former Brit- ish ambassador to the United States has accepted the presidency oi the British Social Hygiene Council. As Sir Aukland Géddies is already pres- ident of the Society for the Preven- tion of Venereal Disease, it is anti- cipated that, if the present efforts are continued and extended, venereal dis- cases in England will be reduced to 2 minimum:~ It is significant that the main point 0f difference between these two or- ganizations was adjusted by the re- port of Lord Trevethin’s Committee relative to the use, of personal pro- phylaxis in’ the prevention of venereal diseases. In this connection the Lon- don Correspondent of the Medical Journal of South Africa writes “From a medical point of view pre- vention is -hetter than.cure, and the majority of-medical men would prob- ably approve of personal disiniection as a sensible precaution, Not only does such a course lessen the risks to the person who exposes himscli to infection, but. it is also.a safeguard against the direct inoculation of oth- ers, more espegially spouses and children.” Z a GUESTS AT) THE HOTEL DALE | DALE, CAPE MAY, N.

C. Hayes, Mrs. Rosa Magruder, of 1318 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, has filed suit in the District Supreme Court for an absolute divorce from her husband, Ernest Magruder. She charges misconduct and names Ruby Hawkins as the co-respondent. The couple were married in Alexandria, Va., on September 15, 1912, by the Rev. Truitt. They lived together until August, 1921, when, she says, she was forced to leave him because of his cruel treatment. For three years prior to their separation, Mrs. Magruder charges that her husband was keeping company with Ruby Hawkins. When it became known to the parents of Ruby Hawkins that Ernest Magruder was married, Mrs. Magruder alleges that Miss Hawkins was given the alternative of no longer seeing Mr. Magruder or leaving the home of her parents. Mrs. Magruder says that Miss Hawkins choose to leave her parents' home. Mrs. Magruder says that the relationship between her husband and the correspondent became so flagrant that he indicated his preference to Miss Hawkins to her and advised her to seek male company of her own liking as her actions did not concern him. She alleges in her bill of complaint that as a result of the illicit relationship between her husband and the correspondent, a child was born, whom she is advised has been given the name of Warren and is now in the custody of Miss Hawkins, who now lives with her mother. Mrs. Magruder charges that her husband and the correspondent held themselves out as man and wife at No. 310 Q Street, Northwest, until such time as she acquainted the person in charge of these premises of the adulterous relation in which the parties were living, as a result of You Too Can Have Beauty "I was not always as attractive as I am now. My hair, which should be woman's greatest charm, used to be coarse and unruly due to dandruff, and my face was sallow and often bore ugly pimples. "I had heard Exelento Quinine Pomade praised on all sides and I got a package and began using it as directed. The results were astonishing. My dandruff all left me and my hair began to get so soft and silky that it was a delight to comb it." "Then I began to use Exelento Skin Soap on my face and the results were equally amazing. All blemishes disappeared and my face became soft, smooth and beautiful." Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap may be obtained for only 25% each at all drug stores or will be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price.

The Tribune Sport Review Large Crowd Witnesses Double Header at American League Park AGE FOUR Large Cr Orientals Beat Teddy Bears; Slaughtered by LeDroits (By Chas. "Flash" Robeson) Before the largest crowd that has witnessed a semi-pro game at the American League park, the Oriental Tigers won the first game of a double attraction last Sunday from the Teddy Bears by a score of 13 to 6, but were completely out-classed by the LeDroit Tigers in the nightcap, the LeDroits winning by a score of 17 to 0. In the first game the fielding of Earnest (Buck) Carroll and the heavy hitting of Blair, Oriental first baseman, featured. "Blackfoot" Scriver wished masterly for the winners. In the second game, that of the Oriental Tigers and the LeDroit Tigers, the play of the boys from Southwest was far below the brand of ball they played to defeat the Teddy Bears in the first game. The second game was a parade for the LeDroits. They scored eleven runs off two hits off McAdams and Lomax in the first two innings. The feature of the second game was the smart playin' of the LeDroit Tigers. "Babe" Adams, a veteran, pitched good ball.

Arlington Elks Win Eleventh Straight Arlington Elks Win Eleventh Straight The Pride of Arlington Elks won their 10th straight game Sunday by defeating the Elite Panthers by the score 7-6. Shirley Fisher pitched a remarkable game, striking out seventeen batters. Rueben Scott handled some very difficult chances without a slip. The Elks then took on the Stags from Falls Church and won in a walk, the score being 14 to 7. The winners had a field day at bat getting 14 hits, including two home runs by H. Scott one with the bases loaded and one with one on. Doubles by Richardson and Volland helped to crush the losers. Walker's pitching for the Elks gave way to a new pitcher who just signed with the Elks and he allowed three hits and two runs but settled down and struck out five men to win the game. Dickerson pitching for the Stags has been hard to beat but was in a hole all the way.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY JULY 25. 1925 SPORTS CHATTER The twin attraction at the American League Baseball Park last Sunday afternoon between the three leading teams in the Union League afforded a fine day's sport. In the opener the Oriental Tigers played the Teddy Bears, and the winners of this tilt played the LeDroit Tigers in the nightcap. The two games were replete with good, bad and indifferent baseball. In the game between the Oriental Tigers and the Teddy Bears, the pitching of "Blackfoot" Scriver stood out. He showed skill in turning back the Teddy Bears. The playing of Blair at first was also noticeable. The LeDroit Tigers had it soft. The Orientals, tired by the first game, were easy prey for them and the LeDroits tore into them without mercy. The LeDroits proved themselves a smart ball club, for during the four and one-half innings the second game lasted they pulled almost everything in the way of inside baseball. They showed that they know what to do, and how to do it. Burrell Kenner, LeDroit captain, has had some experience in fast company and has instilled into his teammates some of the fine points of the game. Adams, a veteran, pitched well. Lewis gives promises of developing into a first class catcher. Last Sunday's games showed that the Union League teams—the LeDroit Tigers excepted—must be improved, if keen competition and a lively public interest in the league are to be developed and Kent. In the first place, none of the three teams is in the pink of condition. That is perhaps the biggest reason for the complete collapse of the Oriental Tigers in the second game. Had the players been in condition, the team would not have cracked so badly; but being out of condition they were unable to go through two games in top form. The teams themselves need to be strengthened by the acquisition of new players. There is no need nor advantage in a ball club carrying on its roster a player who cannot catch a fly ball. But that is what some of the Union League clubs are doing. Surely such players should be let go and their places filled by men who at least can field, throw and hit. The results of Sunday's games, however, should not be discouraging to promoters, managers, or players. It is our opinion that the whole proposition is worth trying again. If we are not amiss, the large number of fans who attended enjoyed themselves—enjoyed the comedy if not the baseball, both of which they were given for the price of one admission.

By disposing of the mainstays of his team, owner George W. Robinson has apparently signified that he will give up the Wilmington entry and write "finis" upon his affiliation as a league member. For some time the Wilmington Club has been going badly in the league race. Although the Potomacs appeared to have a good combination of players, they were able to win but a small percentage of their league games. A switch in the managers from the veteran Dan McChellan failed to be the solution and the Delaware Club continued to drop in the league standing. Wilmington, which has been termed a tough town in which to make baseball go, lived up to its reputation and scant turn-outs greeted the Potomacs at their home park. The acquisition of the players from the Wilmington Club will materially aid the Barcharach Giants and Baltimore Black Sox, as both clubs are up in the thick of the pennant scramble and the individual ability of the players they secured from the Potomacs is recognized around the entire circuit. Mack Eggleton, should prove a tower of strength to Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants and the star receiver will fit in well with the Charleston-Ben Taylor combination, since the three were formerly allied on the old A.

Boxing Board Fails to Take Definite Action on Dempsey-Wills Question Boxing Board Fails to Take Definite Action on Dempsey-Wills Question New York, July 22—As a result of yesterday's meeting of the New York State Athletic Commission, the Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills situation stands exactly as it has stood for the last three years or more. After emerging from an executive session of some length, the Commission announced that "it deemed it best not to take any definite action in the Dempsey-Wills matter." Thus a meeting that was expected to prove historic in the annals of professional pugilism, turned out to be a dud. Yesterday's meeting of the board might lead one to believe that Jack Dempsey is afraid of Wills and the Boxing Commission is afraid of Dempsey. Although he had engaged to present himself before the boxing authorities yesterday for the purpose of signing articles binding him to meet Wills, Jack Dempsey did not show up, nor did he forward any excuse that seemed suitable. To put it coldly, the world's heavyweight champion broke his engagement, ignored the commission completely and made our fistic fathers like it. Dempsey is now on his way to Los Angeles and, according to several of his close friends here, does not expect to return 'to New York BROADWAY 1515 7th Street, N.W.RUFUS G.

Farley, chairman of the commission, returned to his seat at the head of the table yesterday after an absence of a fortnight and was expected to dictate some drastic action in the Dempsey-Wills matter in the event of the champion failing to put in an appearance. All Mr. Farley did was to announce that the matter had been laid on the table for two weeks, at the end of which time it is expected that the heavyweight king will condescend to give the local boxing authorities a tumble. It is Chairman Farley's belief, apparently, that Dempsey will be back here in two weeks and will go through with the threatened signing. That belief is not shared to any great extent by either Dempsey's local acquaintances or by the general run of boxing fans. The feeling here is that Dempsey scurried westward to put as many miles as possible between himself and the dark Nemesis who has persisted in throwing a menacing cloud over an otherwise rosy existence. There seems to be no chance at all that the heavyweight champion can be back here in two weeks to sign for the Wills match, even though he had a desire to go through with that contest. Tex Richard, who is virtually Dempsey's manager at the present time, is said to be well aware of this situation. If he is he refused to go into details yesterday when questioned about it. Tex appeared very complacent after yesterday's meeting of the Boxing Commission and seemed to take the view that everything would turn out very favorably if Harry Wills manages to live to a ripe old age. Senator Wild Bill Lyons, one of Dempsey's closest friends, came out last night with the flat-footed statement that the heavyweight champion "ain't ever coming back" and that he will never fight again. "Huh," said the Senator, looking down the barrel of a Colt .44 to see if it was loaded, "Jack Dempsey can't begin to spend his present income. On a policy he took out with a local insurance company immediately after the fight with Firpo he draws $1,000 a month, and he will receive the sum as long as he lives. His real estate investments on the Pacific Coast are on a paying basis. He should worry about Wills or anybody else. He told me that he would never fight again and I believe it. He would have no reason at all to tell me that if it wasn't the truth. If you go to Goldfield, Nev., and walk two blocks back you will see the grave of the latest man who lied to me. I sent a bullet crashing through his brain."

And yet it would seem that the New York Boxing Commission, which happens to be made up of men, has the dodger cornered this time. His latest dodge is that he is all ready to sign to fight Wills now, but that Wills is in Europe, and so that lets Dempsey out—in Dempsey's opinion,—if we are to believe the amazing logic of Tex Rickard, who like any good Texan seems all along to have cunningly abetted Dempsey in this rotten business. Since Wills is in Europe for a few weeks, reports Rickard, we can't sign to fight Wills, so please let us fight somebody else. That is the only time Dempsey is willing and ready to sign to fight Wills is when Wills is on the other side of an ocean from Dempsey. And let us tell you this: that if it is left entirely to Dempsey, the only way he will ever fight Wills will be over wireless telegraph. He must think that the boxing commission is as devoid of brains as he is of good sportsmanship, if he thinks they are going to let him off on the plea that because he declared himself willing to sign with Wills when Wills was over the ocean, that THAT should clear Dempsey and Kearns of their crime of dodging Wills for the last five years. If he is in earnest, let him cable Wills for his consent. Harry will quit looking at the Alps any time to get a close-up of Dempsey. Suppose the cases were somewhat reversed: suppose that Jack Johnson, when he was champion, had spent three or four years dodging some big white boxer of the standing of Harry Wills. Every state commission would have disqualified Johnson and given the title to the white man, or to some white man. Under the circumstances Jack Johnson would have been the laughing stock of all people, including his own black folk. Almost any robbery is good morals in America if a Negro be the victim. But the action of the New York Boxing Commission shows courage and cleanness. It would seem that, in spite of his Nordic complex, even the American white man would come to the end of defending such patent cowardice and unsportsmanlike conduct. Mme.

W. Newly Renovated and Newly Decorated The Best Dancing Floor in the East District Tennis Championship Starts Monday The District of Columbia championship tournament, under the auspices of the American Tennis Association, gets under way Monday, July 27 on the courts of the Walker Tennis Club Sixth and W Streets, Northwest There will be an entry of about 100 in singles and about 25 teams in the doubles events and quite a few entries in the mixed doubles and junior events. In the men's singles, Ted Thompson stands out as the likely winner of first place honors. His greatest obstacle, Tally Holmes, will be in Chicago battling through a picked group of Western stars. Eddie Davis and Allen Woolridge will probably take next highest honors. It is not definitely known how the doubles teams will be paired as no entries have as yet been announced. It is likely that Tally Holmes will return East in time to pair up with his doubles partner, Ted Thompson. This pair should more than likely repeat their former exhibitions and take first place with Wilkinson and Davis trailing behind for second place and Woolridge and Haynes, if paired, in third place. Misses Slowe and Winston are the outstanding players in the women events here. "Blanche" Winston has improved her game considerably and expects to take first place in the ladies' singles. Lenoir Cook is the outstanding player among the juniors. There are several good players in this group such as the Syphax boys, particularly the younger lad Woodard, and Jarvis. On Friday, July 31, the Walker Tennis Club will entertain at a lawn party to be given on their tennis courts. "Doc" Perry will furnish the music for the occasion. Dancing will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Local Politicians Banquet Attorney Thomas L. Jones The Republican leaders of the District tendered Assistant District Attorney Thomas L.

The literary feature of the program heightened the expectancy of the house who eagerly awaited the words of the speaker of the evening. The heat was rivalling a seething volcano and the Royal Patron lost little time in opening the literary exercise. Mrs Ethel Jenifer, our Grand Conductress, was called upon to present the speaker of the evening. In a choice selection of words, she portrayed the virtues of the speaker giving many of us a better inside view and make-up of the same than we possessed. Mrs Georgia B. Henry, our Grand Matron, was the speaker introduced or presented. Her subject was "Mother" which she handled impressively at the fireside; in the neighborhood; at social functions and into every walk of life. The speaker held that there is no period in life when the mother's touch is not needed to enable us to guide our ship aright. The logical force of her argument drove home its truths to every heart. Following the address, a musical number, entitled "Mother," was touchingly sung by Mrs. Ethel Bolden who received an encore. The response to the address was delivered by one of our young officers—Mrs. O. N. Butler—who covered herself with glory. At length, she dwelt upon the subject showing that she had given it considerable study and was fully able to impart it. She received many congratulations from the different speakers. Many visitors were present to witness the exercises—several of the Grand officers; past Grand officers; present visiting officers all-of who joined heartily in the festivities after the speaker of the evening had "stampeded" the house. The Chapter gave a rising vote of thanks to the speaker of the evening and to all other participants. A recess until September was voted for the Chapter. An abundance of refreshments were served to all present. Our regular meeting in September will be "our home-coming" when each will fall on the other's neck and tell of the glorious vacations taken during the summer.

The Negro's militant fight to become those United States has brought home to the state the stern realization that the years of are numbered. It is clearly demonstrated that a State or a section can easily maintain its backwardness despite court decisions. Only a precarious margin of enlightenment in a recent legislature prevented Kentucky from having a law which prohibits the teaching of evolution in its schools and colleges. Yet a young woman, whose expressed opinions upon evolution did not harmonize with those of the superintendent of schools in Paducah, was refused appointment as teacher of mathematics in one of the city schools. This shows how simple it is for Kentucky to maintain its backwardness in enlightenment, through the exercise of its control over the personnel of its public schools. It shows, further, why the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and all other laws which tend to better the social, economic and political conditions of the Negro are but little more than mere scraps of paper in the South. Southern officials defend their acts of making life intolerable for the Negro in this country, in general and in the South in particular, on the ground that whatever be their views upon the "race question" they must avoid causing the white man trouble. It is upon this ground that they expect to build the temple of "white supremacy." Negroes are not denied the rights (in fact) of an American citizen because of their opinions; the object is to eliminate "troublemakers"—the probability of Negroes taking possession of those things which the white man thinks are divinely his. (If, during the process of the Dayton anti-evolution trial, a report had come in that a Negro had been captured for a lynching party, we are of the opinion that, despite the Tennesseeans expressed determination to defend the literal interpretation of the Bible and their eagerness to see to it that those representing them did not falter, the court room would have been emptied upon the first call. Lynching, to race prejudiced minds, is a literal interpretation of the teaching of the Carpenter of Nazareth.) Southern propagandists, creating and spreading a miasma of racial prejudice, can see no more subtle and effective method of averting the explosion of their soap-bubble, "white supremacy," than by denying the Negro the right to enjoy the privileges of citizenship. The Negro's militant fight to become a citizen in fact in these United States has brought home to the Southern powers that be the stern realization that the years of "white supremacy" are numbered.

Anderson) Now that the "monkey trial" in Tennessee has been decided satisfactorily ni favor of the fundamentalists, boys and girls may continue to romp and play leap-frog on the school playgrounds without being unduly suspected of aping their simian ancestors.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 Something of Interest By I. L. PARKER Undermining Faith A Florida real estate operator recently made an offer of $25,000 toward Dayton's proposed $1,000,000 "anti-evolutionist" university. "Far more important than the laws against evolution," says one observer, "are the prejudices and ignorance of those in authority. Unfortunately, those who are anti-scientific in their attitude often have access to relatively large amounts of money. . . . Some of the anti-vivisection and anti-vaccination propaganda of to-day is carried on solely because impressionable old ladies were once persuaded to endow such misguided movements." It is interesting to note that many take the position that a deadly earnestness was behind the bizarreries at Dayton. They point to the wave of interest in religious questions which has not been confined to eminent ex-lawyers, and suggest that an intolerant antiChristianity can result in an intolerant Christianity and an increasing desire to meddle with one's neighbors. Such a position is interesting, for it expresses a fear which the Dayton trial has undoubtedly en- piece of nonsense and ought to be the debate between evolution and Bible is an absurdity.

The trial itself was a piece of nonsense and ought to be treated so; as an argument, the debate between evolution and literal interpretation of the Bible is an absurdity. Is it quite as absurd as the expression of an uneasy feeling among a great many devout and rather badly informed people that a scientific age, by changing the immediate bases upon which popular religion is founded, may be breaking down the public morals? Is it not even less absurd when many of these people have money that they are prepared to use in ways fully understood only by legislative agents and managers of university endowment funds? The answers seem to be yes, and no. The backwoods believer who discovers that science has undermined the faith of his children is in a way right. There is the difficulty. It has undermined his kind of faith, and the suddenly renewed popular interest in religious questions is bringing home the discovery to a large number of him for the first time, with an appalling abruptness. It has produced a serious obscurantist element which is prepared to do some fighting in what seems, to it, a good cause. It may win some victories. But the answer to it is not in organizing legal circuses. A movement which is against the tide of civilized thought can not in this age survive. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams MISS JOSEPHINE E. WORMLEY DEMOTED MUSIC DIRECTOR Announcement of the demotion of Miss Josephine Wormley, for eight years director of music, to teach, on the grounds that she had not produced desired results was made from the office of G. C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools last week. In the demotion a vacancy was created which must be filled by early Fall with the opening of school. To those on the outside this anouncement possibly is an item of surprise but to knowing ones in the school system a change for the better has been whispered for sometime as there seems to have been much dissatisfaction with Miss Wormley's supervisory work in general and her lack of tact caused much bitter criticism and comment as well as endless agitation. The fact that she had not produced desired results, as announced, was caused by a lack of harmony and cooperation as we view it. We believe that she was qualified as attested by eight years service and she deserves thanks for that much service to the citizens of the District, leaving off personalities. At best it's a hard task to head any particular branch, in or out of the school system, because everybody wants to be a BIG body and there's the fun starts. We have no influence in the school system but we would recommend a man every time for the new job of director of musical instruction, not that a woman cannot do the work but that a competent man can do it better because of personality. To our mind a man like Dr. Nathaniel R. Dett would be a happy selection, one whose reputation, training, and past work would serve to engender greater confidence and who has the capacity for REPUBLIC THEATRE Sunday, Monday, Tues, July 26, 27, 28—"Kiss Me Again," directed by Ernst Lubitsch with Monte Blue and Marie Prevost. Another instance of Ernst Lubitsch's genius for screen entertainment prevails in "Kiss Me Again." All the intrigue of emotional encounter, plus the tremendous romantic lure of Paris is made real. The story is essentially a romance of spice and thrill. Marie Prevost and Monte Blue seen recently in "Recompense" continue their acting of high standard.

Mind you, we are not opposed to a woman director because there are some really good ones to be had and we would support woman or man for that matter so long as merit wins. One of the notable factors in the change of musical directors is the statement that the new director will be given entire supervision over all music in normal, high and elementary schools. We could have told the Board of Education ten years and more ago that Minor Normal, Dunbar and the elementary schools should all come under the direction of one music head and not have a divided authority such as have been the case all these years. This is but another reason why the new music director should be an outstanding figure to successfully lead these divulging elements in the school system. We hope the search for a competent music director will materialize in a successful selection by the Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson. Mme. TALBERT SAILS FOR ITALY Mme. Florence Talbert, a great Washington favorite and one of the leading vocalists of the country gave a farewell recital in Chicago early in July and sailed on the 7th for Italy to study. We quote Maude George of the Defender, as follows: "During the year or more that she will stay abroad she will undoubtedly make a record, both in study and concert appearance, and we sincerely hope that she will have the opportunity to display her ability before the musical critics of Italy. Mme. Valeri with whom she won a scholarship, is returning to Italy upon the same steamer, which will no doubt mean that Mme.

Civil Service Commission Awaits Photo Protest Civil Service Commission Awaits Photo Protest (Continued from page 1) lieves that the use of photographs is the only effective and practicable means of identification and would hardly recommend the substitution of the finger-print method. Commission's Views The views of the Civil Service Commission with respect to the use of photographs were sent out in a letter to A. L. Glenn, former president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, who took up this question with the President. His letters were referred to the Commission, which re- "There seems to be no question that identification is necessary in connection with examinations for the Federal civil service. The Commission's experience before and after the requirement of photographs has proved this point. The identification is necessary to prevent impersonation in examinations, which was frequent before the use of photographs. "The Commission adopted the use of photographs because it seemed the only effective and practicable means of identification. The use of the finger-print system requires the services of experts. The Commission's examinations are held, and appointments therefrom are made, at approximately 3,500 cities and towns, sometimes in rural communities. This seems to preclude the general adoption of the finger-print system by the Civil Service Commission. The Commission also holds examinations in the Philippines, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone, Hawaii, and Alaska. The applications represent many races, including Indians. No Discrimination "Of course, there is no discrimination against Negroes in the examinations. The Commission has no evidence that there is discrimination in appointment. If, however, appointing officers do discriminate against Negroes now, they could also do so if the requirement of identification were set aside altogether, or if some other means of identification were substituted for photographs. Under the civil-service rules three eligibles are certified for each vacancy in order that the appointing officer may exercise his prerogative of choice when making appointments. "Appointing officers before definitely making appointments usually endeavor to acquaint themselves concerning the eligible certified, beyond the information included in the examination papers and the application. It is believed that postmasters without exception require the eligibles to appear for an oral interview before appointment is made. There is opportunity for this because almost without exception the eligibles live in or very near the city in which the appointments are to be made. The same situation obtains in the case of rural carriers. In the case of railway postal clerks the registers are made up by States and it is entirely practicable for the railway postal officials to interview the eligibles before offering appointment. "The use of photographs by the Civil Service Commission for the purpose of establishing identity and preventing impersonation in examinatons apparently is the only available effective method."

His audience was composed of little brown, black and yellow flowers such as you are. His story to these children was as follows: "I once knew a little colored boy whose father and mother died when he was six years old. He was a slave and had no one to care for him. He slept on a dirt floor in a hovel and in cold weather he would crawl into a meal bag, head first, and leave his feet in the ashes to keep them warm. Often he would roast an ear of corn and eat it to satisfy his hunger. Many a time he crawled under the barn or stable and secured eggs, which he roasted in the fire to eat. "This boy did not wear pants like you do, but he wore a tow linen shirt. Schools were unknown to him, and he learned to spell from one of Webster's spelling books, and to read and write from posters on fences and barn doors, while boys and men who knew how to read would help him. He later preached and made speeches and later became well known. He finally held several high positions and accumulated some wealth. He wore broadcloth and did not have to divide crumbs with the dogs under the table. That boy was Frederick Douglass. "What was possible for me is possible for you. Do not think because you are colored you cannot accomplish anything.' Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge. So long as you remain in ignorance, so long will you fail to command the respect of your fellow men." CONCERNING BLACK We have accepted the white man's teachings from books written by white men and we have learned to believe that there is no beauty in black. The beauty of the stars and the brilliancy of the moon would be void of all their splendor were it not for the blackness of the night. A diamond is valued for its rarety more than for its beauty. The black diamond surpasses its more common rival because a black diamond is actually beautiful. To be black, and proud you are black is as you should. It is a tribute to God to be pleased with his divine intents. A thing is beautiful indeed when it black and beautiful. It is no more to be ashamed of black skin than it is to be ashamed of black hair or eyes. When the day turns black 'tis then that all nature hush their faintest whisperings; because with the blackness of the day comes the wonderfully dreadful wrath of God. God has made no law for the white that is not made for the black. God made you black, O, race of mine,—why then are you so discontented? BEDTIME STORIES By Helen F.

CREOLE MUSIC The Creole folk-songs of the New World are those of the people of mixed blood in Louisiana and the bordering south-western states, mainly African in rhythm. The music was brought to South American countries and to the West Indies, thence to Louisiana where it received a French and Spanish-American imprint by the settlers of the land. The majority of the songs that survive show a French influence. In the early days of New Orleans it was the custom to use the old Place Congo, at the further end of historic Jackson Square, as an out-of-doors dance hall and rendezvous. The main instruments used in the dance were the drums, the quills (a Pan's pipe of seeds), the Marimba and the banjo, which was often accompanied by a battle made of a polished jaw-bone with loosened teeth. There was a group of thirty or more singers, the leader of whom often practised his gift of improvisation and took the part of soloist. The songs are in the musical Creole language, a French patio that survived in the fascinating old French quarter of New Orleans and in many of the sleepy, quaint old Creole towns on the Atchafalaya and on the Bavon Teche. The themes of the songs are but few and those are of the primal emotions. While there are but few religious songs, there are many of satire and sarcasm, ridicule and mockery, many of which sprang into being at carnival time, and far more love songs than are to be found among any other folk-song offerings of America. Distinct from the mountain song of Kentucky, the Negro Spiritual or tribal melody of the Indian, the Creoles have added a new note in their gift to the folk-song of America. Out of their consciousness they speak to us in the words of Theocritus: "And to you in my turn, the charms of the clear-voiced muses, even all that they can give and all that my house has in store, these do I bring. The fairest meed of the gods is song." —PHILIP HALE RECEIPT FOR HAPPINESS Just a word of sympathy from one who knows. Just a little sunshine mingled with the heart that overflows. Just a little sunshine mingled with the rain. Drives away one's sorrow, and soothes one's heart of pain. Just a little patience when things seem dark and drear. Just a little word with Him who's always very near, Just a little singing when all the world seems wrong, Fills one's soul with gladness and fills one's days with song. Just a little loving from one who's fond and true, Just a life's companion whose heart is kind and pure, Just a little cottage where Love supremely reigns Will surely bring one happiness and cure one's heart of pains. —JULIA V.

At a recent meeting of a boy's club in Alexandria, Va., the following were considered the ten greatest Negroes of all times. To obtain a merit badge for Civics, a scout must: 1. State the principal citizenship requirements of a voter in his state, territory, or district. Booker T. Washington, Douglass and Dunbar received the same number of votes as leads; Kelly Miller Hannibal, Ernest Lyons, J. C. Cobb tied for second place. Lott Carey Lancaster and Phyllis Wheatley concluded the list. 2. Know the principal features of the naturalization laws of the United States. 3. Know how the President, Vice-President, senators, and congressmen of the United States are elected, and give their terms of office. Others receiving large votes were Henry O. Tanner, L'Ouverture, Banneker, Monroe E. Work, Bruce Evans, Sojourner Truth, Gilpin, and Braithwaite. 4. Know the number of judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, how appointed, and—their terms of office. 5. Know the various administrative departments of the Government as represented in the President's Cabinet. Now—what do you think about this list? Tribunites are requested to send in lists of who they think are the ten greatest Negroes of all time. 6. Know how the governor, lieutenant-governor, senators, representatives, or assemblymen of his state are elected, and give their terms of office; or, if living in a territory or the District of Columbia, know who the corresponding officers are in that territory or dstrict, how elected, and their terms of office. THE HAI Perhaps old gentleman interest inferred to h THE HARD WORK OF FAILURE Perhaps many of you remember an old gentleman who has shown great interest in the Tribunites. I have referred to him often as "Squire." I am presenting here one of his favorite stories. In it is food for thought for both old and young. 7. Know whether the judges of the principal courts in his state, territory, or district are appointed or elected, and the length of their terms. "I met Thomas A. Edison at the Carlton in London," said a New Yorker on the Camard pier "Edson astonished me with his account of working twenty hours a day for weeks 8. Know how the principal officers in his town or city are elected, and for what terms. 9. Know the duties of the various city departments, such as fire, police, board of health, etc. "After lunch hour one day, Edison and I walked up the Haymarket. Edison as usual talked about hard work I said: 10. Draw a map giving location of the principal buildings and points of interest within a radius of two miles of his troop headquarters. "I suppose success always means hard work, doesn't it?' "Yes' said Edison, 'it does.' 11. Give satisfactory evidence that he is familiar with the provisions and history of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. "He nodded towards a poor old sandwich man—a poor, thin, bent old fellow of seventy or so, staggering along in the gutter under three heavy and enormous sandwich-boards—and he added: 'But failure means harder.'" ON GOD I LEAN When gathering clouds around I view And days are dark and friends are few; On Him I lean, who now in vain, Experienced every human pain; He sees my wants, allays my fears, And counts, and treasures up my tears. "When the flight is not high, the fall will not be heavy." "Water may run in a thousand channels, but it all returns to the sea." "Each blade of grass has its own dewdron." If we call ourselves and each other "nigger"—Why and how can we expect the other races to refrain from doing so? "A foot of road is not precious, but an inch of time is to be struggled for." "Cutting down a weed is not as good as unrooting it." Do not use the word "nigger." THE LIMERICK CONTEST The Tribune Monthly Limerick Contest 18th) has been extended to July 27th.

Y. P. U. Closes Convention B. Y. P. U. Closes Convention The Tenth Annual Session of the Mt. Bethel B. Y. P. U. Auxiliary was held Tuesday and Wednesday, July 14th and 15th at the Rebohoth Baptist Church on First Street, near N, Southwest. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, after a long service led by the chorister R. M. Goodloe and prayer by Rev. John Davis, the regular committee appointments were made, followed by the enrollment of delegates and yearly report of officers. The reports showed the organization in a very healthy condition and very much help had been given to weaker Unions during the year and much assistance on programs had made a favorable impression throughout the District of Columbia. During the Round Table Discussion, which was next on program, two main B. Y. P. U. problems were discussed with reference to raising money and increasing membership, and then after a very helpful paper by Mrs. Ossie Dilver and more singing and announcements, the Auxiliary adjourned to meet at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday. Promptly as per schedule the convention was called to order Wednesday by the president and after a few preliminaries, the Symposium was begun on "Our B. Y. P. U. Problems" with papers by Mr. Chas. E. Gee, Miss Pattie Holloway and Mrs. Annie Wingfield which were ably discussed by Dr. W. C. Green, Mrs. Addie Wilson, Mr. L. Washington and Miss Augusta Arthur. The Model Group B. Y. P. U. demonstration led by Miss C. J. Woolfolk and assisted by Ms. L. M. King, Mrs. Mary Brown, and Mrs. Carrie Walker was very helpful, and coupled with the Blackboard Talk by president William R. Williams on "How the Group Plan Should be Worked" and the paper by Mr. John W. Smith on "B.Y.P.U. Don'ts" made the meeting easily the best of its kind ever held here to instruct and aid religious workers in B. Y. P. U. work. On the closing night Mr. William R. Williams was re-elected as president and with him a progressive set of new officers who are to help put over a big program for young people among whom were the following; Mrs. A. L. Wilson, vice-president; Miss C. J. Woolfolk, recording secretary; Miss Novella Fleet, corresponding secretary; Miss Lottie Brooks, financial secretary; Miss Gladys Galloway, pianist; Mrs. Annie Wingfield, treasurer; Mr. Thos. Carter, organizer; Mr. R. M. Goodloe, chorister; Mrs. Ossie Dilver, Maryland director; Mrs. Charles Moseley, Virginia director; Miss Ruth Wingfield, District of Columbia director; Miss Louise Caldwell, Maryland chariman; Mrs. Cynthia Walker, Virginia chairman, and Mrs. L. M. King, and C. E. Gee, District of Columbia, chairmen. The joint program during the closing hours consisted of a well trained chorus of unusual size which led the inspirational singing to the delight and pleasure of a large and enthusiastic audience. Between selections by the chorus, special selections by Miss Louise Caldwell of Baltimore, Md., Mrs. Jeanette Mosley of Arlington, Va., Mrs. B. Stevenson, Miss T. Jones of the District of Columbia and remarks by Dr. W. L. Washington of Pilgrim Baptist Church, Mrs. Emma Lee Williams of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School Expression, and the pastor Rev. Elijah Coleman added materially to the program and after singing "God be With You" the benediction was pronounced by Dr. Frazier and the great B. Y. P. U. Convention adjourned and passed into history as a landmark and a record maker in religious work among young people. "GENERAL BULLARD'S BOOK" (From The Springfield Republican) "General Robert Lee Bullard, of Old Alabam," seems to have a hard time in winning the war, according to the accounts in his book recently published. Gen. Clarence Edwards looked crossly at him. Gen. Pershing declined to spank Gen. Edwards for such conduct, and the Negro troops 'ran away.' Which is probably the reason that the French government decorated several companies and regiments of Negroes for bravery. Gen. Bullard should not allow his Southern sympathies to overcome his spirit of justice and fair play." FOR RENT—Apartment, 1 large room, kitchenette and bath, electricity, H.W.H. gas.

Though only eight years of age, little Ruby made the trip unaccompanied and was met at the station by her aunt, Miss Carrie Burke, with whom she will make her stay. Although the Parker-Gray School is overcrowded, there is seemingly a lack of interest on the part of many Alexandria parents to keep their children in school. You still have an opportunity to make arrangements for Saturday picnics at Suburban Gardens. The children of Alexandria have not had what one could truly call a juvenile affair at which they could have childish fun. At Suburban Gardens there are sand piles, swings, a merry-go-round, aerial swings, coaster, caterpillar and various other amusements dear to the hearts of children. Clubs, lodges, and churches are offered special inducements for Saturday picnics when everything is reduced to five cents for the kiddies. Address Suburban Gardens Business Manager, 920 U Street Northwest, Washington, D. C., for particulars. A Union League game was played in Dreadnaught Park, Thursday evening between the Oriental Tigers and this Alexandria All-Stars. The final score was 19 to 2 in favor of the Tigers. The All-Stars are scheduled to play a double-header in Washington at S. Capitol and P Streets, Southwest, Sunday. First game called at 1 p.m. There are entirely too many Negro boys and girls who are not attending school. Even though the school is at present overcrowded, the school board would be more easily moved by petitions for additional rooms if the attendance was what it should be. Negroes can not afford to overlook the necessity of education. It is not enough to send your child to school—get your neighbors to send their children to school too. The parent who takes his or her child out of school in order that they may enjoy a few more dollars a week from the child's labor, is truly a thief—robbing the innocent and unthinking child of its future, its happiness in years to come and the chance to become something or somebody. In the present building is a large assembly room which could be used as two or three study rooms. More rooms and more teachers should be given so that all classes will have full-time periods of attending school, instead of the present part-time periods of some of the lower classes.
