Funeral Monday. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee for Georgia, is dead. Death came to him at 1 o'clock Thursday morning at Freedmen's Hospital. It was due to a cerebral hemorrhage. He suffered a third stroke of paralysis while in bathing at Highland Beach, Md., last Sunday afternoon, as he was about to climb aboard a motor boat. Sylvester Pinkney and Barrington Guy, who were in the boat, pulled him out of the water and saved him from death by drowning. He was unconscious when he was brought to shore. He was taken to the Annapolis City Hospital. He was admitted, but when it was learned that he was colored he was ordered Michigan in 1892. He practiced law first in Atlanta. President Taft appointed him Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and in the Republican National Convention of 1912 he stayed with the Taft crowd, although the Roosevelt people made all kinds of proposals for him to swing the Georgia delegation to the support of Theodore Roosevelt, which would have insured the nomination of Roosevelt and prevented the split in the Republican ranks. He reached the height of his positional career in 1920 when he was elected the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee over the bitter opposition of the "jilly-white" faction in the Republican party.

He reached the height of his political career in 1920 when he was elected the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee over the bitter opposition of the "ily-white" faction in the Republican party. After the adjournment of the convention he created a national sensation when he testified before a Senate Committee inquiring into the expenditure of pre-convention campaign funds. His testimony centered upon the disfranchisement and lynching of Negroes. It was in 1920 when he had the first attack which weakened him physically. On the occasion of the notification of the late Warren G. Harding of his nomination as the Republican candidate for President he had an attack of high blood pressure. He never fully regained his health. In 1921 President Harding nominated him to be recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, but the nomination was rejected by a Republican Senate upon the personal objections of the late Senator Thomas Watson, Democrat, of Georgia.

Jackson) The Tenth Annual convention of The Association of Negro Life and History was called to order at the John Wesley A. M. E. Church this week. Sessions began on Wednesday morning and were held three times daily and on Thursday. "Africa of Today." Dr. James Dillard of the Jeanes and SlaterFunds gave a vivid description of "Africa from Port Said to Capetown." William T. Laprade, Professor of History at Duke University, discussed early Negro communities in a manner that disclosed intense research. The Wednesday afternoon session was devoted to consideration of the Negro Press and proved to be one of the most interesting. Perhaps because of the dinner tendered the visitors at the Whitelaw Hotel by the Association before the session and the prospect of a smoker luncheon that was tendered by Charles Lane at the Lincoln Theatre after the session. At the close of the Whitelaw banquet the visitors were photographed before the hosterly by Scurlock. The Press session was conducted by Robert Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender, who acted as chairman, with Robert Vann, editor of the Pittsburg Courier, as the principal speaker. E. Washington Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, discussed "The Problems of the Negro Press". J. A. Jackson, Executive Editor of the Washington Tribune, submitted for L. H. King of the New Orleans Christian Advocate, who was unable to attend. Rev. Bragg, of Baltimore, presented a very vivid word picture of the first attempt to organize a Negro Press Association in 1878 at Atlantic City. An interesting discussion followed the addresses of the speakers. Several quite intelligent suggestions were made that would tend to make more solid the foundation of Negro Journalism, thus making research of a historic character more easy for subsequent generations. On Wednesday morning, the sessions likewise were productive of much discussion. W. Gomez of the Bankers Fire Insurance Co. of Durham, N. C., and Trueman Gibson of the Supreme Life Insurance Co., of Columbus, Ohio, were the principal speakers on "Business Phases of Race Life." (Continued on Page 8) INVESTIGATION OF COHEN COMPLETED Representatives of the Treasury Department have completed their investigation into the circumstances of the recent indictment of Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, La., on a charge of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act. Their report will be submitted to General Lincoln C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the Treasury Department, who is in charge of the customs service. As a result of this investigation it is not thought that Mr. Cohen will be suspended by the Treasury Department pending the trial of the case.

Tribune's Big Plant Palace Casino, visitors pose in front on, ("Sammy's" mother and father) s Organizing their Protection mpany's Protest New York City—The greatest labor mass meeting ever held by Negro working men was staged in the spacious and beautiful auditorium of the Imperial Lodge of Elks, 160 West 129th Street, Tuesday evening, August 25th, under the auspices of A. Philip Randolph, editor of The Messenger. A total attendance of porters who attended was nearly 500. Mr. Randolph as chairman, told of the aims and objects of the union to be formed; the wrongs, insults and indignities inflicted upon the porters an the intelligent methods of getting justice, humane treatment and American standard working conditions and wages from the Pullman Company. He told of the farce of the Pullman Porters' violent Association, the joke of the Employee Representation Plan and other fly-paper schemes of the powerful corporation for robbing and insulting its unorganized workers. At the conclusion of his remarks, when Randolph called for authority-to begin organization work, it was given with great zest and enthusiasm and hundreds of eager hands reached for the new application blanks being passed out. W. J. Orr, special organizer of the Brotherhood of, Locomotive Engineers in New York City, assured the assembled Porters that the railway unions were behind them and would help them in their fight. Frank Crosswaith, the Executive Secretary of the Trade Union Committee for organizing Negro Workers, followed him with an address. George S. Schuyler, satirist on the staff of The Messenger, joked at the expense of the Pullman Company. Mr. Ross D. Brown, the nationally known Negro orator of Indianapolis and Chicago, entertained the man his brilliant delivery. Other speakers who were well received were S. C. Grain, field agent of the new union, and Roy Lankester, former secretary of the Grievance Committee of the New York District in the Employee Representation Plan and former secretary of the local P.

Prof. Work contributed very largely to the spiritual and folk songs of his WEST Aark Closes for sale Washington's Best Advertising Medium. DEAD NO ABATEMENT IN SEGREGATION UNDER COOLIDGE Notwithstanding statements to the contrary, segregation and discrimination on account of race are still practiced by Government officials on as large a scale as at any time since the return of the Republican party to power. The chief offender in extending as well as continuing segregation seems to be Lieutenant Colonel Clarence O. Sherrill, who is in charge of public buildings and grounds. He is a North Carolinaian by birth. He was appointed to his present position March 21, 1921. There are eighteen golf links in the public parks, which come under his supervision. Colored persons can use only one of them, a nine-hole course in Potomac Park. There are more than sixty tennis courts in the public parks. Colored persons can use only two of them by his permission, and these two are completely screened off from four other courts in that particular locality. The same condition obtains in regard to the baseball diamonds. has refused to promote John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk at large, railway mail service, to a post office inspector. He takes the position that it would not do to have a colored man clothed with the authority of an inspector. The request for the promotion of Mr. Gainey had the endorsement of Robert R. Church, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry W. Howard, who have helped General New in all of his political fights in Indiana and after his defeat in the primary joined in the request for his appointment to the Cabinet. The present situation in Washington as regards the Negro in Government service can be best described by the charge which the Republican party made in its 1924 campaign textbook against the Democratic party. The Republican National Committee charged the Democrats with having dismissed from the Federal service practically all colored persons excepting minor clerks, messengers, charwomen and laborers. Government officials, who received their appointment under Republican control, are carrying on these dismissals by the very method which they charged the Democrats with using. Colored persons are transferred in groups. Shortly after the transfers are effected, the office to which they have been transferred is abolished. The Internal Revenue Bureau, of which another North Carolinian, D. H. Blair, is the head, affords the most recent example of this. Twelve colored clerks were transferred from this bureau to the prohibition unit. Two weeks ago the last of these clerks, Hoover I. Brown, Feyton Hutchins and William Wilson, were dismissed from the Government service.

She is the last of the family of the late John J. and Georgianna O. Smith. John was one of the best known citizens of Boston and an abolitionist member of the legislature. Miss Smith after completing her education in Boston came to Washington as a teacher, later becoming the principal of the Birney School. Her zeal and persistency in the face of obstacles so effected officials that a 16-room school replaced the four room structure in which she began her work. A few years since, she retired at her own request and made her home with Dr. Herbert Smith, a brother who had been obliged to resume a Boston residence because of ill health. She had always lived with him in Washington and was unwilling to remain after his departure from the city. Miss Smith was a Past Matron of the Prince Hall Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star and an active member of the St. Luke's Episcopal church. She placed her letter with St. Peters Church in Boston under whose auspices the funeral ceremonies were held. She is survived by a host of friends within and without the District Schools who cherish a memory of one whose character has been written into the better citizenship of the growing ones of a community that loved her. Many of her former pupils now hold responsible positions, and with Garnet C. Wilkinson, one of them, they mourn her passing. Regina Cooper Gets Alimony Regina Cooper Gets Alimony Mrs. Regina M. Cooper, of 117% Thomas street, northwest, who is sailing her husband, Hollandus Cooper, of 2711 Eleventh street, northwest, for an absolute divorce, was awarded $40 a month temporary alimony by Justice Hoehling in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Friday morning. When the motion for alimony and custody of their child,' Roland, 7 years old, came up, E. Russell Kelly, who appeared for Mr. Cooper, contended that Mrs. Cooper is an accomplished musician and when employed regularly was capable of earning $40 a week. Justice Hoehling stated that he did not understand that a wife had to go out and earn her living and that he regarded if the duty of the husband to support the wife. The question of custody of-the child was carried over temporarily. Roland is in Maryland but will he be brought back into the District of Columbia for the opening of school. Attorney George E. C.

PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There’s no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER’S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

Pehaps that has something to do with their being so big. The news man's troubles were enlarged by the absence of any official badges of information or other insignia of rank or news sources. Just one man, besides the harassed John W. White, the president, who has most progressive ideas, was met. That was the founder of the association whose baldic of office as marshal marked him. Those two men will yet make this show a nationwide one, if they can get a trained personnel to work with them. Among the interested visitors were some members of the Charlestown, (W. Va.) Horse Show Association. H. Rideout, a director, headed the group of intelligent and interested horse men who motored from the Shenandoah Valley. Sam Galloway, live stock dealer from Charlestown had a motor load of friends there with him. An effort to name the Washington people present would be to demand the use of the whole paper, and these visitors were at the mercy of the light fingered gentry who because of the lack of efficient management, and because no publicity had written the show into the class of accepted "regulars," violated the unwritten code of the underworld and despoiled the pocket-book of President White himself. He lost fifty dollars of personal money while he ran about the grounds trying to function for a dozen indifferent and inefficient helpers who should have safeguarded their president by having an office for him, and reporting to him there. White carried on in spite of his grief as best he could. He is a game man and hard worker. He now has an added respect for the use of an adequate police service for a show. It is hoped that his associates can see it too. If they do, there will be less money lost to the show than was this season. No doubt in other seasons much money has been going into wood-lot games that pay no revenue, but are sources of trouble in addition to being potential destroyers of the reputation of the show. Racing secretary, Henry E. Conway, a progressive and able official provides the following authentic copy of results of the events; In the Show Ring First Day: Horse and Runabout.

Book Your Dates Now No Increase in Rentals (See Second page for open dates) The Murray Palace Casino Manassas Horse Show Gives Visitor Some Conflicting Impressions By J. A. Jackson On Labor Day, The Tribune family jumped into its "fliver" as did some odd thousands of other Washington people, and motored to the Manassas Horse Show. Perhaps for half the distance we motored over as fine asphalt or concrete highway as one would want to encounter; and, then, Oh boy! we were obliged to detour ten miles over as dusty a highway as ever provided a screen for a driver to guess at, gag at, and, if he was a bit sensitive and high strung, to cuss at. To that condition was added the anxiety that assails humanity as it passes over unknown routes. "Are we going right?", "Do you know where it is?" and like questions beat upon the mind. These might have been avoided had the management provided route cards, or even their normal advertising matter for the Horse Show at junctions or other readside points. The dust could have been allayed with a little oil sprinkling; that, those in control of the roads would have no doubt been glad to distribute, if they had had the matter presented to them in terms of business. But any how, we arrived. So it seemed had several thousand others whose license plates bore testimony that besides Virginia and the District, that Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio folks had come for a day or two of the educational and thrilling pleasures which the Horse Show assures. The capacity of the premises was taxed to its limit, long before the races began. Interests in the well-managed horse show with blooded stock, efficient horsemanship and pretty girls was such that the little grand stand was constantly nacked. So was the dance hall managed by Willie Wilson with Alma Lewis a pretty cashier handling the business end of the busy floor. The Quince Orchard band had much to do with this popularity. R. F. Plummer conducts; the brass and reed instrument organization that seems equally as much at home in the hall as upon parade. Henry Hartman brought this organization from Rockville, Md. Besides those two wortles, there were also C. H. Manly, J. H. Jackson, A. W. White, P. C. Pogue, J. White, H. Neverson, F. Plummer and A. Chambers wearing the uniform of this very excellent musical unit. In addition to show features, there were some concessions with enough of the speculative novelties that folks have come to expect on a show grounds. Otis Cook, Arthur Smith and A. Hill took pictures of the boys and their girls; C. J. Poyner and Wm. Smith had their baby rack on the line. Wm. Jones and his smiling assistant were there with a novelty store with which they jumped to Ocean City for the next date; B. Dent had his spindle turning. Bryant Porter was spinning it for neat candy boxes to the lucky ones. Johnnie Wilson and B. Tucker had wheels operating, and good old Oscar Jenkins, an institution wherever our folks gather in the open, had his jewelry and pretty sales-lady under the top that always comes. Oscar Washington had his wheel set up, and there was also a mitt reading gypsy and an Oafy with a pyramid of ten pins where the old pitching arm got a trout. There is reason to believe that the Manassas show should have had a lineup of three times as many concessionaries, for it is the lure of the many that loosens the play instinct in humanity. These fellows, too, should be provided with identification cards and passes for themselves and their employees. This would facilitate their work, establish confidence in their patrons and make easier the work of such officials as have business with them. Overwrought nerves are bad things for those in charge of the handling of the public. The Tribune car encountered one such official as we entered the gate. Identification, press courtesies, and even ordinary sense of hospitality seemed to be unknown to the very first person we encountered—the one whose impression stays longest and deepest in the public mind. Another of the sort, was the secretary, from whom this paper, and also the "Farm and Fireside" and another white publication sought in vain for the usual arrangement for obtaining authentic information. The secretary of the great Toronto exposition; the Charles M. Schwab Pennsylvania Fair; the Lexington, Kentucky Colored Fair; and the North Carolina Negro State Fair, (the two last having 50,000 patrons and the former over a hundred thousand), all have been easier to approach for THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 12. 1925 On Maryland Farm, Owned By Roscoe Conkling Bruce In default of bail, five persons, three men and two women, are being held in the Marlboro, Md., jail in connection with the manufacture and possession of liquor on a farm near Chillum, Md., belonging to Roscoe Conkling Bruce, former assistant superintendent of schools in the District of Columbia. The prisoners are Melvin J. Stubblefield, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Layman, and Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Layman. According to Sheriff J. J. Fink, who participated in the raid, Stubblefield stated that he was employed by Bruce as the manager of the farm at a salary of $30 a month and 20 per cent of what was made on the place and the others were employed at a salary of $20 a week. The prisoners were given a hearing last Saturday afternoon before Herbert J. Moffett, justice of the peace at Hyattsville, Md. They demanded a jury trial, and bonds for the men were fixed at $6,000 each, in lieu of which they were sent to the Bladensburg jail. They are charged with illegal manufacture and possession of liquor. The women are held in $500 bonds each as material witnesses. Sheriff Fink wired Bruce last Saturday night in care of the Civic Club, 14 West Twelfth street, New York City, as follows: "Everyone on place locked up. Stock and house uncared for. Come at once." No reply has yet been received from him. The raid on the Bruce farm, which resulted in the arrests and the seizure of what is said to be the most modern distillery equipment ever uncovered in this vicinity, was conducted by Federal prohibition agents. The agents crawled through underbrush for several hundred yards and surprised the men and women about 1:30 a. m., last Saturday morning as they were eating dinner after closing down the plant for the night. The still and twenty-two mash vats with a capacity of 500 gallons each, were found in a 200 yard long modern chicken house. Chickens were about the farm. It was found that at least 250 yards of pipe had been laid from the still to a creek and a Delco electric machine was being used to pump the water about 26 feet uphill. The plant was equipped with electricity. It is thought that it has been in existence for about two months. The agents claim that the plant was getting out 100 gallons a day and marketing their stuff in Washington. The plant was worth approximately $10,000. Dixie came back on the second day and took the Pace and Trot over the mile distance. Sassy Susie was next, with Prince in third place. The Battle Field Hurdle, a mile and a half event, went to Sammy J., with Landmark and Vena W. placed and in the money. Other races carded, were cancelled, due to insufficient entries of qualified class. J. M. Baucum, secretary, attested the results given above.

About thirty cans of lye were found near the plant. Prohibition agents say that the lye was used to hasten fermentation. The sheriff said that Bruce had been in financial difficulties ever since he obtained the farm and that for some time he had been trying to catch him to serve three attachments, but failing in his efforts a few weeks prior to the raid he served non-resident attachments. At the time this service was had, he said. Stubblefield advised him that he was Bruce's representative. Sheriff Fink also stated that Bruce had visited the farm within the past three weeks. Roscoe Conkling Bruce is the son of the late B. K. Bruce, United States Senator from Mississippi during Reconstruction times. He is a bachelor of arts graduate of Harvard University. He became assistant superintendent of schools in the District of Columbia in 1907 and served until Sept. 1, 1921, when he was given an indefinite leave of absence as the result of a relentless fight waged against him by the Parents League on charges of immorality. In 1924 he was employed by the Democratic National Committee and filled several speaking engagements under its auspices in the interest of the candidacy of John W. Davis. His last public appearance here was at the Mu-So-Lit Club where he presented the claims of Mr. Davis for the support of the negro voter. It is said that Mr. Bruce is in New York now either working for or seeking a job under Tammany. PICKENS' DAUGHTER A FAST SWIMMER New York, N.

Thirty-five candidates are expected to report Monday. This number will be increased by fifteen Tuesday and ten Wednesday, bringing the total to sixty. Coach Louis L. Watson will be in charge. He will be assisted by Charlie West, former Washington and Jefferson star, who is now a student in the medical school. Coach Watson will also have some of the old men, who are no longer EDGAR LONG playing, to help the team this year. Miller Brothers knew Contrary to reports, the Miller brothers will again be in the Howard line-up. Coach Watson stated today that he was in receipt of a communication from them saying that they would be able to play this season. Bob Miller, a 200-pound guard, was injured in an automobile accident at his home this summer. His brother, G. B. Miller, a 215-pound guard, was operated upon at Freedmen's Hospital during the summer for appendicitis. It was thought that neither would play this season, but both will report for practice and unless some youngsters displace them they will be on the varsity this year. Among the other players who have been ordered to report for preliminary practice are Long, Campbell and Bell, ends; Smith and Dokes, tackles; Martin, guard; Houghtland Kelly, who played center on the 1923 team but remained out of the game last year; Payne, quarterback; McLean, Dodson, Braden and Warring, half backs. McLean may be used at quarter this year. Bright prospects among the new men who will report are Dan Brown, Edgar Ross and Jack Coles, all three formerly of Petersburg, who will try out for backfield positions; Parker, formerly of Talladega, who has a reputation as a poster and drop kicker; Tick Smith, of Cincinnati; John Young, a last year's scrub, and Kinney, formerly of Iowa.

Monday from the Black Barons, 11 to 7 and Virginia All-Stars 3 to 2, the fielding of the "Roxie" Sullivan, was the feature of Sunday's game. He had six chances and made them all good. On Monday Franklin added another On Monday Franklin added another homer to his record for the season. Black Sox will play in Union League Park every Sunday for the remainder of the season. They will meet St. Cyprian, Sunday Sept. 13th. ARLINGTON ELKS CONTINUE WINNING STREAK The Pride of Arlington, Elks, ran their winnings for the season to 18 when they defeated the Alexandria All Stars by a score of 12 to 6, on Sunday at the Arlington diamond. Madison was on the hill for the Elks and never had to extend himself. He had another one of his good days, whiffing eight of the stars and allowing seven scattered hits, one, a home run by A. Brown. His teammates hammered Taylor for nine hits, including a home run by Jones. The pride of Arlington Elks, Labor Day, split a double header the first game going to the Teddy Bears, by a score of 1 to 8, this was a slugfist game and the Bears were the superior and the D's were forced to take their fourth defeat of the season at the hands of this aggregation. THE SPORT REVIEW LeDROITS WIN DISTRICT AND MARYLAND CHAMPIONSHIP Take Three Game Series in Baltimore By Flash Robeson Baltimore, Md., Sept. 8—The Le-Droit Tigers, Washington's crack baseball club, won the championship of Maryland and the District of Columbia, by defeating the best teams Maryland had to offer in opposition. The series was played at the Black Sox ball park last Sunday and Monday. The Hagerstown Eagles failed to appear for their tilt with the District boys. The Pennsylvania Eagles, a team which had beaten every club in Baltimore and other Maryland towns by decisive scores, drew the assignment. The Baltimore club failed to give the Washington club much opposition. "Nick" Logan of the Baltimore Black Sox was unable to check the Tigers in their march to the championship on Sunday. Sam Lacey, just back from Rhode Island, pitched the best game of his career, allowing the Eagles only five hits, Burrell, the Eagles' third baseman getting three. The features of the first game other than the batting of Burrell of the Eagles, pitching of Lacey was the fielding and batting of Capt, Kenner "Soup" Turner, "Reds" Harris and "Lefty" Smith. The Eagles and the Tigers drew an assignment to play a double header on Labor Day, and the Tigers showed why they are the Champions of the District by taking both games. In the first game the Tigers surprised the fans by uncorking an "ace in the hole" in "Reds" Harris, who toed the slab and pitched his team to a decisive victory. Percy Plummer, drew the pitching assignment in the second game on Labor Day, but found the going too rough and gave way to "old reliable" Sam Lacey, who repeated his Sunday performance by holding the Eagles safe. Keystone Davis, again proved why he is rated the best of District's back stops by playing one of the best games behind the bat ever witnessed in ranks of the Semi-pros. Lewis, B. Jefferson; Smith, Roberts and Kenner were the batting stars of Monday's game. The playing of Burrell for the Eagles was the only bright feature noted in the Eagles' performances. On Saturday, Sept. 19th, the "Dry docks" of Sparrow's Point will be played at Baltimore and on Sunday, September 20th, the Tigers will meet their old rivals the Baltimore Black Sox. Wills Returns Willing To Fight Tunney NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Harry Wills and Gene Tunney may have their much discussed fistic encounter before the close of the outdoor boxing season after all. The Negro heavyweight champion is back from his European looking great, apparently feeling chipper, and talking fight in a most convincing manner. Harry is willing to fight Jack Dempsey anywhere and at any time and even on a winner take all basis, he says, but admits that he hasn't much hope of ever getting the champion into the ring. Such being the case, he is ready to do business with anyone whom his manager, Paddy Mullins, may care to select. "Could you get in shape on short notice?" he was asked, shortly after he had stepped off the Aquatiana, "for a tough opponent?" "Tough ones," giggled Harry, "I didn't know there were any around." Tunney's name was then brought up. It is plain that Wills doesn't take Gene very seriously, but he intimated if the public was in favor of the match and his manager approved, it was all right with him. "I've about given up hopes of ever getting Dempsey in the ring," declared Wills. "I don't suppose I can blame him in a way. He wants to hang on to his title, as it is always worth some money to him, even if he doesn't do any more real fighting. He knows that if he ever meets me he won't have any more title. So just for that he won't play with Harry Wills. "I'll box the champion in any State or any country and on a winner take all basis. Mr. Dempsey will sure find me an easy chap to do business with—but he don't want to do any business. So what's the use?" Harry Wills scored one notable victory over Jack Dempsey yesterday. His arrival was marked by a far greater reception than was accorded the champion. A big crowd of admirers were on hand waiting at the dock for Harry and they were headed by a brass band of considerable size and volume and they staged a real old-fashioned parade. Practically all of the promoters for the local clubs were at the dock to meet Wills. Tex Rickard was conspicuous by his absence. Jimmy De Forest was not present in person, but he had a trusted lieutenant on the job, and the latter had a long and carnest confab with both Wills and Mullins. Lew Raymond, Frank Blaufuss, Babe Culnan, Char- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12. 1925 LOUIS R. LAUTIER. Sports Editor SPORTS CHATTER By Louis R. Lautier SHOULD GRIFFITH BE CENSURED?

It is admitted that Griffith is wrong, however good the motive may be which led him to reach this decision. It is to prevent trouble in his ball park. But there is no more reason to expect trouble on account of a mixed game than there is to expect trouble when two teams of the same race are playing. As long as baseball remains exciting (and in the heat of the game men's nerves become tense) some player or fan will momentarily lose control of himself. That is seen in the big league games daily. No unusual trouble arises when a white and colored club are playing each other. The fact is there is less tension because of the good nature with which colored players usually play. Semi-pro managers have come to regard colored clubs as better attractions than another white semi-pro team. There is not a week that passes but what the Hildales, the Lincoln Giants, the Cuban Stars and the Bacharach Giants play some white team, and no racial cutbreaks occur. Then, why should it be expected that there would be a race rift if a mixed game should be played in the Griffin Stadium? But Clark Griffith is to be reasoned with rather than censured. A fair-minded person cannot conclude that the "Old Fox" is moved by prejudice. The facts are against such a conclusion. The Griffith Stadium is the one place of amusement in the city where money determines the seat a fan will occupy. Certain dates are given to Colored organizations and the schools just as is done with the whites. Colored teams are permitted to use the ball yard in the absence of the Griffmen and he asks only a percentage of the gate receipts for the use of the park. Surely a man moved by prejudice would not do these things. Rather the colored baseball magnate—if such there be—should be censured for his failure to own and operate ball parks of his own. In his opinion, ownership of a ball park is not necessary. All he needs do is get a set of worn uniforms, and he is all set to run a ball club. No, Griffith is wrong, but he is not to be censured. lie Ross and a score of others well known in fistulcuffs crowded the dock, while a battalion of newspaper men held consultation with Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullins. Will's wife held a reception on the pier while the custom officials were examining the Wills baggage. Capt. Bill Jones of Southampton waited outside the pier with the Franzen Vanity Ball Room Band, which blared out a triumphal tune when Wills left the dock. Sid Tischner, representing the Grand Street boys, also was on hand. Brookland Giants Win The Brookland Giants defeated the Washington Black Barons, Sunday 2-0, in a five inning game. A mis- understanding caused the break up of the game. The Brookland Giants defeated the Gansville Giants to a score of 23-5 at Wilsons Grove on Labor Day. BAR TRE DUNBAR THEATRE 7th and T Sts., N.W.

One of the best theatrical salesmen in the country, Jimmie Cooper of burlesque fame collaborated with the 'biggest' little drawing card in the country to achieve the pleasant result. They were supplemented by Will Masten and Virgine Masten, an original Washington girl who brought with them the little tabloid company with which they made a two year tour over the "Big Time." Then came Amanzie Richardson the hard working comic and his band, the same organization that Cooper has made famous in New York theatres. Mrs. Richardson, one of the nearest little woman Russian style dancers, completed that act. These folks with a strong feature film packed the old Howard, and despite the low price scale, there is reason to believe that there was a hot weather record broken. Earnest Morrison (Sunshine Sammy) was the big draw. The little California Boy Scout and his supporting Co. Harold Barget and Monette Moore, with Sammy's father, mother and tutor were met at the station by a Washington Scout trout and escorted to the theatre in a parade that threatened to dwarf the firemen's parade, which was the day's feature in the city on Labor day. All that saved the firemen's pride was the fact that the routes did not conflict. LINCOLN PRESENT MATINEES DAILY 2 P.M.

The usual good Samaritan materialized for them. A Dance Hall manager took them under his wing, established them at a steady salary with a live promoter, provided them’ with a room for their instru- ments, free access to his hall for re- hearsals, ‘became their unsalaried booking agent for “Gigs” and when summer came ‘with the inevitable closing of the dance hall season, co- operated with their promoter to the extent that the band worked three nights per week in a park under the Samaritan’s control, To this was added a nice salary for Sunday con- cert work. ‘Then came a time when the Sama- ritan needed’ some-musical co-opera- tion in opening his newly equipped casino for a pre-season date that was intended a, as a_means of ex- hibiting the hall for Winter bookings.

Outlook Improved The Vaudeville outlook among the Independants holds promise of being much improved for the coming sea- son. More theatres have been added to the lists of the Independent book- ers. It is for these offices that the majority of Negro acts find employ- ment in the metropolitan district. A, & B, have added six houses to their string. Jack Linder is now booking 24 theatres in towns adja- cent to New York and has four Sun- day concerts in town. Walter Plim- mer and Fally Marcus both report in- creases in the lists they handle, tho no names of the added theatres have been given out. These with the split week available at the New Orpheum in Newark will serve to give en- couragement to acts to jump into the big town; and every act should do so once each year, if only to garner new ideas, get the new music and replenish the wardrobe. HE'S THE SAME OLD TONEY The September issue of The Chi- cago Bee carried the initial page of Theatricals edited by our friend and fellow worke> in the field of amusement journalism, TONEY LANGSTON, — known ' wherever showfolks foregather as “The Old Roll Top.” In addition to the ge- nial face of Toney at a column head, we find that most of his former Defender contributors have remained with the big chief. The mechanical work on the page was not up to standard, but that was a mere accident of the print shop. The “Pep” and personality that make a live Page was much in evi- dence. So what matter mere me- chanics?

PROPAGATING THE GERM SEGREGATION "It has come to me on several occasions," says a reader of The Washington Tribune, "that the Negro citizens of Washington are being humiliated by repeated refusal of service at Koss's Drug Store soda fountain, at the corner of Seventh Street and Florida Avenue, Northwest, located in the heart of the Negro section." The complaint here made brings to our attention another demonstration of our propagating a germ which makes life so intolerable for us. We, as a race, seem to think that, if we can purchase drugs at Koss's, it is more or less all right to be refused service at the soda fountain in the building, on the same floor—void of partition—by the same clerks. We do not seemingly realize that we are fostering a condition against which we make protests. We simply go on spreading the germ segregation until it has a cancerous effect. We accept conditions, such as that of which our reader complains; we acquiesce in segregated golf links and tennis courts; we scramble for seats in a section which the authorities of the Gayety, National, Belasco and other downtown theatres call "nigger heaven"; and then we denounce this same condition in the departments of the government, in public utility services, in residential allocation and in other places where segregation is most flagrant. The remedy lies wholly in the hands of the individual Negro himself. He, as an integral part of economic Washington—composing one-fourth of the population of the city—is in a position to boycott successfully any and all places which practice segregation. The crusade which the Negro druggists of this city waged against a local ice cream company is the most recent and efficacious protest against segregation put over by citizens of this city. It forced the offending company to employ members of the Race, and to accord us better service, generally. As long as we protest in words but act to the contrary, we may expect segregation to obtain. If segregation is as distasteful to us as we profess, we deny the assertion when we accept anything under segregated conditions. And especially is this true when we spend our money under such conditions. The profits from Koss's soda fountains are not sufficient to carry his overhead expenses. If he denies you service at the fountain, the only logical thing to expect you to do is to refuse to purchase drugs from him. The week his sale of drugs falls off is the week in which he will begin to change his policy. From casual observation of his patrons, it is easily seen that the greater part of his trade is Colored. Located as he is in the heart of intelligent Negro Washington, there is no reason why Negroes should not demand just such service as conforms to their liking, or force him through boycott, to sell out. This can be done and has been done in the case of Greek lunch rooms, around Seventh Street and Florida Avenue. The whole thing rests with you. What will you do? Sesqui-Centennial Committee Named Sesqui-Centennial Committee Named The participation of the Negro residents of the United States in the Sesquicentennial International Exposition to be held in Philadelphia, from June 1 to December 1, 1926, will be in charge of an executive committee consisting of twenty-five prominent Negro residents of Philadelphia, headed by John C. Asbury as chairman. This committee will formulate a program showing the development of the Negro along educational lines which will be submitted to officials of the Exposition and will later be augmented by one hundred Negro citizens of other cities in the United States. The committee which was announced by Mayor Kendrick after a recent meeting of the executive committee comprises the following: John C. Asbury, Chairman, 1504 South Street; Rev. Chas. A. Tindley, Vice-Chairman; Mrs. S. W. Layton, J. Thomas Williams, John A. Sparks, B. G. Collier, Henry P. Cheatham, A. T. Boyer, E. Washington Rhoades, Arthur B. Lynch, Royal S. Weaver, Maude A.

Adams FONTANA WILL TRAIN RACE ARTIST IN OPERA ROLE Some time since we made mention of the fact that Ferrari-Fontana, an Italian tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, offered to try out such race singers who may apply, the successful applicant to receive training for a role in Verdi's "Aida." The winner of the final tests was Miss Marguerite Avery, of New York City, who will be personally trained by Eldorado Ferrari-Fontana. Ruth Lee McAbee, Baltimore soprano, who made such a splendid impression in a vocal recital at Metropolitan Baptist church recently, was among the four surviving entrants but Miss Avery won out finally. We learn with a degree of pleasure that Mrs. McAbee's singing won acclaim from an enthusiastic New York audience. Success to Miss Avery.

While interest in Negro participation has been very slow in developing information from sources close to the general headquarters discloses that a field force, and office organization and practical efforts to enlist Negro support will soon be established by the aboved named committee. It is unfortunate that the whole organization could not have been functioning during the summer as have the white units. It takes just as long to arouse Negro interest as it does the attention of any other people. However the committee selected is one that can turn the trick, if it can be accomplished in the time left in which to work. SOUTH AMERICAN PAPER PRASES N. CLARK SMITH TRANSLER N. CLARK SMITH Chicago, Illinois—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Press dispatches from the Independent, published in Honduras, South America, have been received praising the work of Professor N. Clark Smith, local bandmaster, composer and musician. The reports commend especially the work which Professor Smith has done with the Negro Spirituals. Paris Opera Company and engaged to sing next winter at Monte Carlo and Nice. Cecelia De'Sylva of the International Negro Grand Opera Company who sings in four foreign languages and is under contract to return to Europe next season to sing. Helen Freund with the Chicago Civic Opera Company appearing at Ravina this season with marked success. Now enters the select group another new star in the person of Miss Marguerite Avery being trained for a special operatic role in New York City. In this connection we would call attention to another bright star, hailing from the Western borders in a pianistic capacity as soloist in the person of Mrs. Lorenzo Cole of Seattle. She recently won a contest in which there were over fifty contestants. To prove her extraordinary ability she learned in less than a month's time the "Islamey Fantasie" by Balaji Srew and its a bugbear to any minor pianist. The success of these race artists and in different sections of the world certainly fires the ambition of others who would climb up the ladder of success. It is an incentive, an impelling factor that prods the otherwise lethargic, pessimistically inclined musician and music student as well.

EX-SLAVE STORY TELLER DIES AUBURN, N. Y.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Perry Williams, perhaps one hundred and twenty-five years old, is dead at his home here. In his passing Auburn has lost one of its most vivid living reminders of the stirring days of the Civil War, for he was a veteran of that great struggle. He was one of the few residents of Central New York horn and reared as a slave in the South. He was known as a teller of tales of the Civil War and ante-bellum days. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he entered the service as a cook in the officers' mess of the Ninth Light Artillery, Union Army. He had spent many years trying to obtain a pension as a Civil War veteran, but died without succeeding. BEATRICE WALKER Miss Beatrice Walker of Chicago has been declared the winner of a bathing beauty contest that was con- 1920 ducted by the Ivan D. B. Bell Realty Co. promoters of a real estate promotion at Lake Ivanhoe, Wis. A Chicago newspaper participated in the handling of the affair and the publicity incident to it attracted many entries. The young lady who by virtues of her award assumes the title of Miss Ivanhoe has been entered in the National Beauty Cultrists' contests at Atlantic City. Lake Ivanhoe is a summer project located about 65 miles north of Chicago, and there is reason to believe from the popularity it has achieved that the resort will in all probability become one of the distinctive summer places now becoming plentiful in our land. "Miss Ivanhoe" will find enough competition in the East to make the trip at least interesting.

We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want to make it. "Nationally Known" Scurlock PHOTOGRAPHS The Kind That Please Studio: 900 U Street, N. W. The Salesperson Negro business has been developing. We observe proficient advancement in its every manifestation: but, as commercial matters are measured in this land of the Free, we have yet far to go. With this admitted, it is but natural that we should want to begin the journey toward the bigger success. The prime essential to any and every business is TO SELL GOODS OR SERVICE, in fact, usually both. Such being true, it is quite obvious that we can develop our enterprises no faster than we can provide selling people. The thrift of our group that is building the assets of banks, insurance companies and Fraternity treasuries are in some measure piling up the capital needed to finance the enterprises that may come into being, that is, what capital is needed to assist the individual with a meritorious enterprise, for no way exists for any business to be established entirely on credit. Not if it is to be at all substantial. Once established, the business or its products must be sold to the public. We have but scratched the surface of the selling game. We have representation in minor places, we have agents on the road, some door to door solicitors, insurance agents, and the concessioners who sell commodities on fair grounds, at picnics in addition to the behind-the-counter group. While few compared to the like group in another race, they total many people—people who must be encouraged if our businesses are to grow. In recognition of the potentialities of these people for the betterment of us all; and with a view of being of service to our commercial life, The Tribune will establish a column as a fixed feature of the paper where those who are now sales-men and sales-women may exchange ideas, advance opinions and make the road easier for those who follow them. The department is intended to answer the questions that assail the minds of those who long for a selling chance, and to provide those answers in the form of actual observations and reported experiences of our salespeople who are already engaged in the different phases of merchandising. We want, too, to become the channel thru which those who would interest the salespeople of the group with opportunities hoping to serve generally as a connecting medium between those who sell and those who have something to sell.

Now, let's see if you salesmanship is to let the public know about your goods, which in this instance is YOU. EARLY REGISTRATION INDICATES BIG ATTEND- ANCE AT HOWARD Mr. F. D. Wilkinson, Registrar of Howard University, Washington, D.C., reports that 947 new applicants have submitted requests for "permits to register" at the opening of the Autumn term, October 1, 1925. The registration of students for the College Departments will begin September 29-30, to be followed by the registration of students of the Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Law School students on October 1. When it is remembered that 893 pupils were enrolled in the day classes of the Spring Quarter of last year, it will be noted that more new pupils have applied for admission this year than were enrolled in all College Departments last spring. Considering the fact that the enrollment in the College Department for the three quarters of last year was 1339 and that 97 graduated, there remain approximately 1242 who will probably be returning to Howard to complete their education. These figures seem to indicate that the University at the opening of the new term in the Fall, will enroll the largest opening attendance in its history. Doctor D. Butler Pratt, Dean of the School of Religion, reports that the number of applications for entrance to the School of Religion next year is far greater than ever before in the history of that school and similar reports have been submitted by Dr. E. A. Balloch, Dean of the Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Colleges and by Justice F. W. Booth, Dean, and Mr. James C. Waters, Secretary of the Law School. Despite the higher requirements for admission to the School of Law, the promise is that the attendance at that school will be in no way below that of last year. CHILDREN'S PAGE GUESTS OF TRIBUNE SEE "SUNSHINE SAMMY" AT HOWARD THEATRE Twenty-five Tribunites were the guests of the Tribune to see "Sunshine Sammy" in person, appearing in vanadeville at the Howard Theatre all of this week.

Use fresh eggs and fine gramulated sugar. Flour must be sifted before measuring, the cup filled lightly and levelled with a knife. Butter or other shortening should be packed solidly into the cup. The pans must be properly prepared for baking, the oven heat regulated and the cake watched while baking. Place the cake as near the center of the oven as possible. In baking cake divide the time into four parts. The first part the mixture should rise and form bubbles, the second part it should continue rising and begin to brown, the third part it should continue browning and finish rising, and during the fourth part it should finish baking and shrink from the sides of the pan. Cake may be looked at between each part without danger of it falling. Plain Cake 1-3 cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup milk 1¼ cups flour ½ tsp. salt 1½ tsps. baking powder 1 tsy. vanilla. Cream butter, add sugar gradually and continue creaming until light. Add eggs well-beaten, then flour, baking powder and salt, alternately with milk, then flavoring. Beat well turn into a greased and floured cakepan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "migger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor Juvenile Department. TRIBUNITES! We would like to receive pictures from the readers of the Children's Page. We intend to publish them as soon as received. Let the photos you send be post card size, and do not fold them. See that your names accompany your pictures. Let us have the pictures as soon as possible. OUR LETTER BOX SUGGESTS MORE CONTESTS Dear Editor: I decided that it would be a good idea to try for a ticket, although my name might not be among the first twenty-five. I have been a member of the Children's Page for a long time, but have failed to be faithful. I think it would be a good idea if story writing contests were held one week. Poetry contests are also very interesting. I notice that such names as Alease Woods and Ruby Ruffin are now strangers to the page. They were once two of the best members of the page. My name is Pocahontas Evaneline Griffin HER INTEREST IS AROUSED Dear Editor: You can not imagine how glad I was to see so many letters on the page last week. It looked like old times. I have been intending to write for a long while, but as none of the other Tribumites seemed to be sending in letters, I was half way thinking that perhaps you did not want any more letters sent in. Here I am writing to you now, and I truly hope that others will follow my example and write to the page often. Dear Editor: Hello. Just a word or two from me to you to say howdy do. It has been a long while since I have written to you, nearly three years. I saw so many letters published last year that I am anxious to be among those who are doing their bit to make the page return to its old time form. Please let the Tribunites know that I am with the page—our page—promising to be loyal to it and to my race. TORRENCE C. BATTLE (15) INQUISITIVE MARY Hello Editor: What do you think of the Opportunity magazine? Isn't it a jim-dandy? I like it ever so much. It is newsy and up to date. I wish we had more magazines like it and "The Crisis." I want to come to the office and see how you work on a newspaper. Last week I saw inside of the operator's room of a moving picture theatre. Now I want to see as many new things as possible. May I visit your place? May I bring two or three friends with me? MARY B. RANDALL Mary B.—You and as many friends as you care to bring are welcome to visit our plant. The days to come here and see all of the machinery in motion is on Friday. You must visit us. Ask for Mr. Frazier. Dear Editor: I see that the white girls are organized into Scout groups. I wish that there were girl scouts in this city for us. I am ready and anxious to join such a club. CARRY N. BURKE (14) GOOD OLD APPLE JELLY Dear Editor: I made some apple jelly last week. It was so simple to make that I am sure if other girls knew how simple it is to make, they would make some. I took the apple pealings that Mother had left from making apple sauce, covered them with water and let them boil. Then I placed these boiled pealings and the juice into a cheese cloth sugar bag and let them drain into a bowl. I then measured this strained juice by cup fulls and to every cup of juice, I added a level cup full of sugar. I placed this sugar and juice over the fire until they came to a boil. All the while I skimmed the bubbles off of the boiling sugar and juice. After they came to a boil I placed it into glasses and let cool. Although my brother says that he isn't going to eat any of it, Mother says that it is real honest-to-beans jelly. I hope that other girls will ```markdown ``` LETTERS GIRL SCOUTS?

FRAIL LEINER (4) SOME KNIFE SHARPENER Dear Editor: I am not going to let my sister out-do me by writing a letter to you about her apple jelly. I want to tell the boys about a dandy knife sharpener that my Mother has. It is a little thing with some sort of wheels that run in between each other. You place the blade of your knife between these wheels and draw your knife back and forth and your knife is sharp. You can see these sharpeners in hardware stores. Goodbye, Editor, and I'll bet Eva won't send you any of that apple jelly. JOHN H. MINOR (12) WHAT'S IN A NAME? A Few Letters from the Lucky Ones Dear Editor: My name is Rachel Annie Hawkins and I think RAH is a cheering word, but I may be wrong. I thank you. I read the Children's Page every Saturday and I am very interested in it. RACHEL A. HAWKINS Dear Editor: I have just read, on our page that you are offering tickets to the Saturday Matinee at Howard Theatre, to see "Sunshine Sammy" to the first twenty-five children, the initials of whose names spell a word. The initials of my name spell the word JILL. My name is John Ignatius Leo Lemmen. I hope I will win one of the tickets. Dear Editor: In reference to the free tickets to see "Sunshine Sammy" at Howard Theatre, I am sending in my name. My name is Harry Alexander Madden, Jr.. My initials form the word HAM. My mother and father are subscribers for The Tribune. Dear Editor: I have read your offer in The Tribune stating that a child whose initials spell a name would receive a free ticket to see "Sunshine Sammy," at the Howard Theatre. Here I am. My name is Blanche Audrey Thompson. Dear Editor: After reading our page in the Tribune I am sending in my name as one who hope to receive a free ticket to the matinee of the "Sunshine Sammy" show. Hoping to be among the lucky ones, I remain respectfully, Dear Editor: I would like to be one of the first twenty-five children to receive a free ticket for the Saturday matinee. My name is Dear Editor: My name is Hilda Augusta Smith (HAS). I am sending in my name hoping that I may get a free ticket to the "Sunshine Sammy" show. I am very anxious to see it. HILDA SMITH BOY SCOUTS TO ORGANIZE IN SOUTH AMERICA The International Bureau of Boy Seout Associations of the World has launched a movement to build up the organization in South America. It has been announced that two delegates from the international body will, through an agreement effected in co-operation with Secretary of State Kellogg, leave New York for South America, September 12. The delegates are Donald Makgill, son of the Baronet of Kemback, and A. D. Jamieson, scout executive for Detroit. SCRIPTURE READING Wisdom's ways are ways of pleas antness, and all her paths are peace — Proverbs 8:17. "SUNSHINE SAMMY" GUEST OF TRIBUNE While your Editor was pouring over a pile of mail that consisted of letters from the many Tribunites who had sent in their names in the "What's in a Name?" contest, there came to his desk a smiling ray of sunshine—yes a real, very much alive ray of sunshine. My! Yes! You have guessed it! It was "Sunshine Sammy" himself. "Sunshine Sammy's" real name is Frederick E. Morrison, he is eleven years old, is a real honest to goodness boy, alert, smiling, courteous, and studious. I heard a lad say the other day that he wished he was "Sunshine Sammy" so that he would not have to attend school. Sammy does not think that way. in company with him is his father and mother, a stage partner, and a tutor. During the school season when he is on tour, he has regular school hours just like any other regular boy. His vacation is near its close and he too must get out his grammar and history books, next week. He is in the seventh grade. Sammy's stage partner is a sixteen-year-old lad whose name is Harold Baquet. Harry is a very fine ballad singer with a very commandable voice. Like Sammy he is a native of California. Sammy intends to go to college after he finishes high school, where he intends to study for a profession. Edward Lawson, an office boy of this paper, was host to Sammy and Harold while they were inspecting the Tribune plant. AMERICAN NEGRO MUSIC "In view of the fact that Negro education, even to the extent of being able to read, was practically a nonentity during the slave period, it has always been a mystery how the leaders of the plantation gatherings were able to tell the Bible stories. One explanation which seems plausible is that the so-called body servants were allowed to accompany their masters' family to Divine worship and in some instances were allowed to sit in the galleries of the churches. These slaves, together with others who stood around the open doors and windows of the churches, caught the Divine messages and with astonishing memories carried them back whole or in part to the plantation meeting. "Although the folk-songs are still used at camp meetings and prayer meetings for the most part in the South, a large number of Negro churches have splendid choirs and not a few have paid quartettes. In numerous choirs the beautiful quality of the Negro voice is often heard to advantage in hymns and cratonic selections. Of times the individual choir voices show cultivation, or quite as often the full-throated untrained voice is heard under the leadership of trained choirmasters." The Negro and American Art "With earlier educational advantages the Negro could have undoubtedly contributed much to American music, poetry and literature. Witness in quite recent years the contribution to American music by Burleigh, the poetry of Dunbar and Brathfaite, and the stories of Chestnut, to say nothing of various literary efforts of real worth by numerous others. With such an ancestry here in America, the Negro of today has much to build upon, much to offer America in the way of national arts." THE NEW NEGRO YEAR BOOK The 1925 Negro Year Book is now ready for distribution. This seventh annual edition contains a very large amount of new material. The information contained in previous volumes has been revised, rewritten and brought down to date. Almost two hundred pages are devoted to a review of the events of 1922-24 as they affect the interests of the Negro. Especially full are the sections on race relations, the progress of the group, race consciousness, the Negro in politics and the Negro in Africa.

I What Your Home Life Means to its Members What Your Home Life Means to its Members THE fate of our civilization lies in the fate of the home life of the Nation. The rise and fall of every Nation and civilization has paralleled the rise and fall of the home and family of that Nation and civilization. In the hurley, burley rush of our present mode of life the family and its members seem to be hurried onward as if by a centrifugal force. One great remedy lies in the owning of homes, and protecting these homes purchased by wage earned money. Be it ever so humble, the home that is owned by the occupant has always been the greatest of magnets to draw and hold individual members of the family group. Should you have trouble with your first trust interest or second trust payment and interest or taxes we would be glad to serve your need. Robert L. Evans 613 F Street, N.W. With Mortimer M.

From developments of the convention, it seems apparent that the future of the organization is assured through one or the other of two mediums, perhaps a combination of the two, and the work of J. Carter Woodson will be firmly established so as to no longer require the tremendous personal sacrifices of few members who have thus selections by the East Washington Male Chorus. Mr. Edward Saunders a dramatic reader, will also participate. The Flower Carnival and dance at Murray's New Palace Casino which will be the climax of the monster opening program is hailed the most spectacular affair of its kind ever staged in Washington. The carnival is in the form of a contest among the ladies of Washington who make paper flower dresses for flower pageants. A prize of $5.00 for the prettiest dress in each individual group and a grand prize of $10.00 for the prettiest dress in the entire contest, will be offered. The entrants are as follows: Mrs Lillian Sylvester, who is known throughout Washington, Baltimore and New York through her skill as a designer of paper dresses for flower pageants who first introduced the rambling rose dress to the solons of New York, and who has just passed through the successful staging of a flower pageant at the Church of the Good Shepherd. She will have charge of the American Beauty Rose group. Mrs. Rose Poe, another entrant who will give her individual touch to the rambling rose dress. Mrs. Albert Francis, of Datcher Chapter has been an old favorite since the chapter gave the State Flower Pageant some years ago at Convention Hall.

Mrs. Viola Kelly and Miss Agnes Hall will have charge of group dances. far carried the burden of work involved. The directing agencies of the race seem to have at last caught the vision of the vital value of the Association. A permanent endowment fund will likely be created, and the organized support of our educational institutions will with little doubt grow out of the conference. Fairfax Fair to be Held in October Perhaps one of the finest community organizations in our land is little known beyond the county in which it functions; but the value of it to the nation is not lost because of that. And that quality of being unknown is about to be ancient history, for we have attended a session of the stockholders of the Fairfax, Va. Colored County Fair. What we heard and saw there convinces the writer that an organization prompted by the motives that have established their fair on grounds that they own cannot stay in oblivion. The world at large is interested in such people and their organizations. The Eleventh annual Fair occurs on October 7-8 this year and it will be well worth the time of any one to spend one of those days on that fair grounds. It's a nice ride from Washington; and the country through which one drives is such as to place one in just the right state of mind and spirit to enjoy the day under the ideal country auspices that these fair folks are striving to submit to their visitors.

REPUBLIC THEATRE Lou Tellegen, Betty Blythe and Patsy Ruth Miller are the featured players in "The Breadth of Scandal" which will be shown at the Republic on Sunday and Monday, September 13, 14. It is an intense and absorbing story of how a daughter is affected when her father woos another man's wife. Lon Chaney, greatest screen character star, offers the crowning enactment of his long career in the Metro-Goldwyn production of "The Unholy Three" which will be shown at the Republic on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 15, 16, 17, 18. In this picture, Mr. Chaney, who is supported by a notable cast, including Mae Busch, Matt Moore and others, assumes the role of a gifted ventiloliquet, who conspires with a sideshow dwarf and giant to commit a fantastic crime. In the carrying out of this unholy alliance, however, the three fail to take into account a girl who fights like a tiger for the man she loves and whose loyalty and devotion to her innocent sweetheart wipes out two of the conspirators and forces the third into the straight and narrow path. "The Unholy Three" is one of the greatest and most amazing pictures in the history of screen entertainment. A first run picture "The Overland Limited" will be shown for one day, Saturday, September 19. It is a railroad story with Ralph Lewis, Alice Lake, Malcolm MacGregor and others in the cast. On the stage, appearing at 7:20 and 9:20, the Capital City Serenaders, assisted by Talent, will be presented.
