Hemans, is suing her husband, Benjamin Marshall Brown, of 1340 Wallach Place, for maintenance. Mrs. Brown charges in her bill of complaint that her husband spends his money on other women, buying them kodaks and boxes of candy, and has not contributed toward the support of herself and their two-month old baby since their marriage. They were married in Rockville, Md., March 11, 1925, by the Rev. J. L. S. Cole. After their marriage they lived together at the home of her husband's parents at 1340 Wallach Place, No. thwest. They have one child, John Turner Brown. He was born July 25, 1925. Mrs. Brown claims that they did not live happily together because her husband was persuaded to marry her in order that their child might have a legitimate name. She incurred the ill will of his parents by reason of this marriage, she says, and on September 25 last his father, Joseph Brown, came into her room and ordered her out, although he knew that his son had made no provisions for her and she had nowhere to go. She charges that her husband on many occasions has sought the society and companionship of other women. She states that he has often been seen strolling arm in arm with divers of his women friends. He stays out until after midnight, she declares, and when he comes in her presence seldom speaks to her. On September 20th last, she charges that he assaulted her. She is in poor health, she says, and it is necessary for her to give her entire time and attention to their two-month's-old baby. Her husband is a Government employee and earns $90 a month. She asks the court to award her temporary and permanent alimony and custody of the child.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925 A coroner's jury last Monday ordered Shavus Brown, thirty and blind, of 2325 Connors Court, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Walter P. Carter, 38, of 1230 Ward Court, Northwest. In an altercation in front of No. 1230 Ward Court last Saturday night, the blind man is charged with having fatally stabbed Carter about the neck and in the stomach. Carter died at the Emergency Hospital last Sunday morning. At the inquest it developed that Crain Robertson led the blind man into an alley to get some liquor. They came upon Carter who had been drinking. Brown insisted upon Carter, who was sittig on his front porch, going into the house. Carter refused. The two men grappled. Brown released Carter and started away. He returned. Brown claimed that Carter struck him over the head and he used his knife. Following the cutting, Brown fled and was arrested at his home by Policemen J. L. Marvis and H. S. Montgomery. Katie Rebecca Green, an eleven-year-old school girl, who seemed worldly wise for her age, testified at the inquest that Brown struck the first blow. She was an eye-witness. Matilda Gray Catter, widow of Walter Carter, also testified. She said that Brown had her husband on the ground at one time, but let him up. He then went into the house and came out again. It was then, she said, that the two men grappled a second time and Brown did the stabbing. Attorney John H. Burnett, who represented Brown at the inquest, would not put his client on the stand. Brown, however, had previously made a statement to the police at the third precinct station house. His version of the tragedy was as follows: "Sometime during the evening Robertson came to my house, 2325 Connors Court. He said, "Walk around to Josh's with me." I said, 'all right.' Then, I reached upon the wall and gets my hat and stick. "We walk around. We go through Reed's Court to Twenty-second Street across M Street and goes across a lot, goes on through Ward's Court to Josh Green's. "Robertson knocked on Josh Green's door. Josh hollered out from upstairs, 'I have gone to bed.' I said, 'All right. I will pick you up.' "Coming on back through Ward's Court—we gets there even with Carter's house—Matilda said, 'Walter, come on in the house.' She then said, 'Brown help me put Walter in the house.' He was sitting on the porch leaning back in the door. I gets to him, I said, 'Walter, why don't you listen to your wife and go in the house?' If the officers come by and see you sitting out here they'll lock you up. You ain't got no more money than you need. Matilda had hold of one arm and I had hold of the other trying to pull him in the door. He snatched loose from Matilda. She said, 'Brown, I can't hold him.' I said, 'Matilda, you get down there, I think his feet are fastened in the porch.' "When she goes out the door to undo his feet, she said, 'Walter might kick me in my stomach.' I said, 'Go ahead, Walter ain't going to kick you.' She said, 'He has already kicked me.' Walter said, "You had better G—d—sight not touch my feet." "I ran my left arm under Carter's left arm trying to pull him in the door. Then he started to scuffle, turning to his left, and I turned him back, and then I turned him loose, and he got up and come down off his porch. "Carter then ran up to me and started to wrestle with me. I threw him and we fell together, I being on top. Then he said, 'You've got me, Bot, let me up.' I said, 'If I let you up, will you go in the house?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'All right, come on.' "Carter went on in the house and his wife went in behind him and shut the door. Then an argument started between Carter and his wife, Tillie, inside of the house. I was standing between his porch and the pooch next NEW DEPUTY E. W. BUNDY E. W.

COLORED AND WHITE GIVE JOINT RECITAL COLORED AND WHITE GIVE JOINT RECITAL Toronto, Ont., Can.—(By The Associated Negro Press) An event of historical importance occurred in this city Friday night when for the first time in Canada a white and colored choir gave a joint recital; moreover, the event was in a colored church, as the choir of Rhodes Avenue Baptist Church were the guests of the First Baptist Church Choir in their choir-chancel. "Musical Toronto is agog, for Rhodes Avenue Choir which is one of the city's finest musical organization, and is under the direction of Prof. William Wahrer, are noted exponents of the works of the great English composer Caleb Semper; while the First Baptist Choir, under the direction of Robert P. Edwards, specializes in the American type of Anthem, and their rendition of Spirituals twice gained them premier honors at the Canadian National Exhibition, hence the music lovers received an interesting as well as a unique programme, including assemblies. Thomas Lee of Rhodes Avenue, and Mrs. Irene Dabney-Lucas of First Baptist, were the soloists.

"When Robertson came up and caught me by my left arm and Carter caught me by my right arm, and then Carter said, 'Bot, what's the matter with you?' I said, 'Nothing is the matter. Bot, what's the matter with you?' Then he said again, 'Bot, what's the matter with you?' Then before I could get the words out of my mouth Carter struck me over the head with something, knocking me to my knees, and I kept myself from falling by holding to Carter's clothing. "And then I reached for my knife in my right hind pocket, and I pulled the knife out and put it in my teeth half opened, then I put the knife down on my stomach and pulled it all the way opened and then I cut at him. Then Carter grabbed me by the throat and I cut at his throat and Carter broke loose from me." Carter was described as a big fellow weighing about 225 pounds and being about 5 feet 11 inches tall. When the blind man was arrested, he had the death weapon wrapped in his shirt. It was a wicked looking knife with the blade sharpened to the nth degree. The blind man sat calmly throughout the inquest. ATTY. HUESTON TO BE OFFERED BIG ELK JOB J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, stated to-day that he would tender the position of Grand Legal Adviser, made vacant by the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson, to W. C. Hueston, an attorney of Gary, Indiana, at a conference to be held here on October 9th. Mr. Hueston is the commissioner of education of the Elks. This office was created at the recent Grand Lodge session in Richmond when the Elks adopted an educational plan providing for the taxation of members of the order to establish a fund for scholarships for worthy boys and girls. In the event that Mr. Hueston would not care to give up this work, which he has undertaken, and should decline the post, Mr. Wilson said that he would allow him the privilege of naming the next Grand Legal Adviser because of his effort in his behalf at the Richmond convention.Mr. Hueston was the floor leader of the Wilson forces. The conference on October 9, will be of the trustees of the order. The purpose is to take over all claim to the ritualistic and copyrighted works of the order, claims to which are made by Sandy Doughtry of Portsmouth, Va., Arthur Briggs of Springfield, Ohio, and R.

Oriental Gardens Property in Litigation The property housing the Oriental Gardens, a cabaret at Ninth and R Streets, Northwest, is involved in litigation. George Thomsa, of 607 Louisiana Avenue, Northwest, has filed suit against Lewis T. Thomas, proprietor of the Oriental Gardens, and his wife, Agnes E. Thomas, of 901 R Street, Northwest; John R. Scott, 217 Florida Avenue, Northwest; Richard Christmas, 1228 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, and Lester H. Steinem. Through Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, George Thomas seeks to have certain deeds purporting to convey the Oriental Gardens property set aside, the property sold and the proceeds from the sale applied to the payment of a judgment which he obtained against Lewis Thomas in the Municipal Court. George Thomas declares that he got a judgment in the Municipal Court against Lewis Thomas on February 9, 1922, for $170 with costs and interests. This judgment, he claims, remains on record unpaid. He asserts that he has not been able to learn of any property belonging to Lewis Thomas except the Oriental Gardens property, which is heavily encumbered. He states that on February 8, 1923, a deed purporting to convey this property from Lewis Thomas and his wife to John R. Scott was filed, and on the same day John R. Scott and his wife, Emma Scott, executed a deed conveying this property to Richard Christmas. On February 29, 1924, George and his wife, Mary Christmas, conveyed it to Lester H. Steinem. George Thomas charges that all of these conveyances were made without any consideration and with the intent solely to defraud creditors of Lewis Thomas. Through Attorney Gaskins he asks the court to set these deeds aside, appoint a trustee to sell the property, and apply the proceeds to the payment and satisfaction of the judgment. Must Serve Sentence For Mutilation Must Serve Sentence For Mutilation Raleigh, N.C., Oct. 1—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Henry Dennis Griffin, who was sentenced last spring to serve a term of thirty years in the State's prison for the mutilation of Joseph A. Needleman, white, must serve his sentence. This is the ruling of the North Carolina Supreme Court, to which Griffin had appealed his case. In company with a number of others, Griffin is charged with having taken Needleman from the Martin County Jail where he was held on a charge of attacking a young white woman. The prisoner was terribly mutilated. Griffin had contended that certain evidence was inadmissible and that his sentence which was longer than the sentences of other members of the mob, was excessive. He had served twelve days of his sentence at the time his appeal was perfected and he was released on $50,000 bond. Two Negro portes were mutilated at Jacksonville, Florida, last week. Office: 920 U Street, N.W. SUTTON GETS PLUMBER'S LICENSE James C. Sutton, whose likeness is depicted here has just been granted a Master Plumber's license by the District of Columbia Commissioners after passing the difficult examination made by the board of Plumbing. His is the second license granted to a Negro in the District, and the first since 1896. Mr. Sutton who has been a member of the firm of Swann, Lomax and Sutton at 813 Florida Ave., where he operated under an associate master's license for the past four years, has been engaged in plumbing, and steam-fitting work for more than a dozen years, having been apprenticed in Savannah, Ga., his native home. Finding the door of employment closed to his race in his native home, Sutton went to New Jersey where for two years he worked at his trade as a journeyman in a shop that operated on a 24-hour basis. He worked there at night, and drove a truck daytimes, snatching needed rest as best he could. When he joined Swann and Lomax, the senior partner was the only licensed plumber of our group in the District, who passed in 1896. Mr. Sutton has helped in some of the finest and most difficult work known to the trade since being with the Washington firm of which he was part owner. Among his largest jobs were the Mt. Moriah Church installation, the piping of Suburban Gardens and the finer type of home installations and alterations in the homes of Rev. Keyser and John Carter. A complete list of the large or capable jobs upon which he has worked would be too long for publication. That he proposes to enlarge his scope is evidenced by the fact that he has made known that he is seeking five more mechanics to add to the staff of ten that he now supervises. Mr. Sutton has lived in Washington for more than ten years. The family is affiliated with the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, and Mr. Sutton is a Prince Hall Mason and a member of the Jonathan Davis Consistory, 32 degree, all of which indicates him to be a valuable member of the community. Alimony Denied By Justice Hitz Temporary alimony was denied by Justice Hitz in the equity division of the District Supreme Court last Friday to Mrs. Selena King, of 441 Second Street, Southwest, who is suing her husband, Albert A. King, a District fireman, employed at No. 4 Engine House, for a limited divorce. Mr. King, through Attorney L. G. Hubert, claimed in his answer that the extravagance of his wife has resulted in his having to apply his monthly salary to the payment of bills which she has contracted at various department stores for wearing apparel against his wishes. He denied her charges of cruelty, neglect and non-support. He also denied that he was infatuated with Mrs. Annie Tills. He admits, however, that he was in the home of Mrs. Tills when it was raided and that he, Mrs. Tills and others were taken to the police station. He claims that he was a victim of circumstances, having gone to the Tills home for the purpose of making a sale of a raincoat for which he was agent. He says that he was exonerated by both the police and fire departments. Because of his objections to paying the bills which his wife contracted, he claims that she became incensed and left him on September 9th, last, taking their child with her, and on the following day in his absence, she returned to their home and removed all the household furniture.

Luke G. Reynolds, pastor, were completed here tonight at a conference of the League's National Officers. This Annual Meeting is called as a National Mass Race Convention for Rights under the auspices of the League that there may be concerted deliberation on the race's situation. The formal call issued by the president, Dr. W. A. Sinclair declares the need of the race nationally meeting on its own independent account to review the situation as to its treatment and formulate a united plan of action for redress. Not only elected delegates but individual race leaders and workers are welcomed. The conference decided that segregation, especially federal segregation would be the paramount issue. The conviction was general that the race should face the nation and the administration on segregation by the Federal Government, under a Republician regime. The race is urged in every community to hold send-off mass meetings of delegates on Monday night, October 5th, making it "United Race Rights Monday," or on Sunday if more feasible. Norman L.

Just because presidents have been nice plums to Negroes does not seem admirable. Hence a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth is too prominently. In New York World, we have been informed that Agent Attorney General and the former law partner Johnson has fallen heir to the mantle of plum shipments to the Negro voters, a well trained lawyer, and a rich son of Mennets as a National committeeman. Maybe, equipments. We shall see; but we can't help we must be assembled quicker if one of those fellow for New York where all the Negro votes get thirteen. Which is by way of saying that if we without that sort of backing, that he is a bad deserves all the credit that may be tendered of him.

S'Funny, hold a colored man's job, live in a colored diary have colored husbands and wives, rear color interest in what happens and is reported in color interest. Just let something such a colored person wonder how they happen to know al laborship an Editor. President Coolidge is back in town. Saw him on Pennsylvania Avenue. No, not close up. He did not speak to me, and of course I have too much self respect to intrude myself upon even a President without some encouragement on the part of the other party to the interview that might have been. Did see that he wore a straw hat; a fact that indicates that he is no Will-o-the-wisp whose ideas may be swayed by a bit of clamor or in recognition to mere habit. Just because presidents have been in the habit of slipping some nice plums to Negroes does not seem adequate reason for his so doing. Hence a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth that the wailers dare not show too prominently. Through the New York World, we have been informed that Perry Howard, Special Assistant Attorney General and the former law partner of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson has fallen heir to the mantle of Mr. Johnson as referee in the mattrr of plum shipments to the Negro voters. He is a fine upstanding man, a well trained lawyer, and a rich son of Mississippi which state he represents as a National committeeman. Maybe, he can assemble some choice shipments. We shall see; but we can't help wondering if the goods could not be assembled quicker if one of those fellows from Illinois, Pennsylvania or New York where all the Negro votes get counted was closer to the throne. Which is by way of saying that if Perry Howard gets the goods without that sort of backing, that he is a diplomat of the first water, and deserves all the credit that may be tendered, for he has some job ahead of him. In that connection, may we mention that the United States Government budget of expenses for last year totalled a bit more than Three Billions of good American dollars. Needless to say, our folks paid their just share of the direct and indirect taxes from which this immense sum was paid. Negroes have not yet become adept enough in the arts of high finance to conceal the earnings of their business. Besides, most of us are on salary and the people for whom we work see to it, that the little stipend we owe is properly reported. Then, too, we have no way of avoiding the indirect taxation that is included in every commodity we buy. All of this leads up to the fact that while we are about a tenth of the total population, nowhere near that percentage of government money was spent with us, either as employees or as holders of nice juley contracts with Uncle Sam. In fact, in the latter field, we just don't count at all. All of which is by way of indicating that Mr. Howard has ample field for his activities. Of course we are in some fields of activity that have close governmental relation. Lester Walton our representative on the staff of the New York World has in the Sunday, Sept. 20th, issue of that paper told in an interesting way of the First National Bank of the group. The Douglass National Bank of Chicago of which Anthony Overton is president. The latest report of the bank discloses resources of a million and a half. Not so bad, for a man who was once a porter, waiter, etc. Bradstreet now credits him with a million dollar rating. That should encourage the fellows who have an inclination to believe that we have no chance. Appropos to this matter of business possibilities among us, Julius Rosenwald, founder of the Rosenwald Fund for Negro Schools and himself a business man of the highest calibre says that Negro business is at last established upon a firm foundation with a great future, according to the same writer to whom in an interview he outlined the fact that more than a million Negroes have gone into Northern industries where they have a broader opportunity to learn how to operate for themselves when they do engage in commercial activities for themselves. Won't have to go direct from the cotton field to a complicated business totally unprepared anymore. That should reduce the mortality in Negro business considerably. Sounds promising anyhow. Now we are told that the Negro is responding to special efforts to organize them as "Reds." The dailies tell us of the efforts that William Green president of the Federation of Labor is making to save the group from the Communists and disaster. Wonder if he has not been told that if he is sincere that all he need do is to compel every International that owes allegiance to the F. of L. to grant membership to Negro applicants. Of course, that would not get as much publicity as does the other course, but everybody, except perhaps a few "Crackers" would have more peace of mind about the matter. Negro Labor dues would also add very materially to the war chest of the Federation. That "Hukum" has been used so often that its whiskers are almost as long as are those of the pictured bolsheviki. Try again, Mr. Green. Cornelius C. Cahalane, retired Police Inspector of New York City, a Harvard graduate, who is the author of a number of text books upon police tactics disclosures in a recently published interview how peace was kept in New York in the Harlem district over which he ruled in 1919 when Race riots were prevalent throughout the country. He did not do any spectacular nuits. He called 93 pool room and cabaret owners, The Editors of seven Negro papers, the business and professional men, the ministers with the Catholic priests of adjoining parishes and the Negro officers of his district. He sought and obtained their co-operation based upon the following: "New York is not interested in what happens elsewhere. New York is giving you civil rights, if not all the social rights. The city government is giving you the same Police and Fire protection, the same street cleaning service, the same public utility service and the same educational advantages that are given to the rest of the city. . . . " That's just what prevented any notion of rioting in the largest community in the land. With those provisions, there would be little cause for lawlessness anywhere. Reason beats a blackjack for results all the time. That man has been a credit to Harvard. He provides an additional argument for a broader college policy for us. When there are more educated Negroes, and more educated white neighbors, there is no likelihood of the United States of America being a "Fools Paradise" with a moral code born of the imagination of the Movie world where the director of the "Klansman" is an archangel and the alleged ministers of the white gospel are devoting their time to reconciliation the holy writ to popular desire than to teaching the ways of the Lord. For the benefit of the number of our aristocrats who "Never look at a Colored paper" we are glad to find that a daily paper tells of Five Thousand Baptists having been in convention in Baltimore. S'Funny, how we have colored parents, hold a colored man's job, live in a colored district, entertain colored society, have colored husbands and wives, rear colored children and yet have no interest in what happens and is reported in colored papers. Yes, we have no interest. Just let something such a colored person doesn't like get into print, then wonder how they happen to know al labout it—and, why they want to whip an Editor.

A friend is one who does not (in time of bereavement) take advantage of you by petting you on the back and saying you are a good fellow and at the same time putting his hand in your pocket and relieving you of all the cash you have; but a friend is one who (in the time of bereavement) comes in and advises the best thing to do, gives the best service for the least money, takes full charge of all arrangements and leaves something left for those who are left behind.

Morgan College, of Baltimore, Md., will be their opponents. The game will be called at 3 p.m. Coach Louis Watson and Assistant Coach Charley West have their charges in fine physical condition for this contest. Cool weather lately has enabled them to put the candidates for the team through stiff daily drills. They have also made their scrimmage at length and stubbornly. As a result the Baltimore school will meet tough foes in the Howard eleven. The selection of a varsity eleven has not yet been made, but in all probability the following men will most likely get into the contest: Captain Long Campbell, Dillard and Sallie, ends; Smith, Doakes and Jefferson, tackles; Thomas, Webb and Hall, guards; Martin and Kelly, center s; Coles, Paine and Whitted, quarterbacks; Brown, Ross, Smith, Young, Tyson, Carter, Warring and Dodson, books. Coach Watson stated that he had not definitely decided upon the players he would start or upon any combination that he would use at any period of the game, but that it was his intention to send in as many of the men as practicable against Morgan with a view to getting a better line upon their ability. Tubby Miller, of C.I.A.A. fame, reported last Monday, but he is not yet in condition and will not get into the Morgan game. He is working out daily. The Howard eleven this year will be heavy and powerful. So far the weight of the men is the outstanding feature about the team. All of them have had previous experience. Their next opponents will be Livingstone College next Saturday after noon on the university campus. Jersey City Nine Easy For Hilldale Jersey City Nine Easy For Hilldale Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 27—Hilldale, champions of the Eastern League, gave the Jersey City International Leaguers an 8 to 2 setback yesterday afternoon at Hilldale Park through effective pitching by Rube Currier and the heavy swatting of Judy Johnson and Paul Stevens. Rube allowed but five hits. The only inning the International Leaguers were able to bunch them was in the third when they scored their two lone runs. Stevens and Judy took to Rube Zeiler's curves. Stevens had three singles and a double, while Judy hammered out the same combination. George Johnson also went into the second night when he socked one of Zeiler's pitches into the center field teachers for a home run. Hildale started right after Zeller in the first timing. Briggs bounced a single off the portside's glove. Stevens beat out a bunt. Carr and Mackey sacrificed, scoring Briggs. Johnson beat out a bunt and when the latter stole 2nd, Niebergal threw wild and Stevens scored. They added two more in the second.

St. Paul In Condition For Tarheels St. Paul In Condition For Tarheels Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 1—At the conclusion of two week's of strenuous training, the St. Paul football team is in condition for their opening game of the season against North Carolina State Normal, of Elizabeth City, on Saturday afternoon. St. Paul looks good on paper, and if the "wonder team" does not "crack," Shaw, Hampton, Union, Virginia Seminary, A. & T. and Virginia Normal have got to play football to deprive the Douglas-Taylor machine of this year's CLA A championship. Douglas and Taylor have covered the minutest phases of the game. They have held practices daily and have lectured on the fundamentals nightly since the preliminaries on September 15th. While they are reticent, they are jubilant. Concentration has been on the "Douglas Shift," from which St. Paul has definitely decided to run eleven plays. With a vetan 185-lb. line and a backfield of no mean ability to execute this formation, it is predicted that the Tigers will run amuck with the Bears (Shaw), the Indians (Hampton), the Panthers (Union) the Dragons (Virginia Seminary), the Farmers (A. & T.), and the Hilltoppers (Virginia Normal). Althorne, Douglas and Taylor will not select the eleven men to launch the attack against the Old North State boys until a few hours before the game, the probable line-up is as follows: Emil Byrd and Baker; tackles, Williamn and Brinkley; guards, 4. Oliver n. Williams; center, C. Oliver; quarterback, Smith; half-backs, Hudson and Robinson; and fullback, Etheridge. Dempsey and Wills Sign for Championship Bout ```markdown ``` Champion Agrees To Meet Brown Panther Niles, Mich., Sept. 30—Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, who has fought his way from a New Orleans stevedore to contender for the world heavy-weight championship, is finally to get his big chance. Jack Dempsey signed articles last night to defend his title against the challenger in Michigan City, Ind., in September, 1926. The scene replete with all the drama of a motion picture, ended Wills' six-year chase for a championship meeting with Dempsey. The signing came after a conference of more than eighteen hours, stretched out over two days, and only after the question of a referee had threatened to wreck the negotiations. Dempsey was the first to affix his signature to the agreement. He was followed immediately by Wills, his manager, Paddy Mallins, and Floyd Fitzsimmons, who will promote the bout. The articles call for a ten-round decision contest. Forfeits aggregating $350,000 are on deposit with the First National Bank of South Bend, Ind., as evidence of the good faith of all parties concerned. Dempsey was required to put up $100,000, Wills $50,000, and Fitzsimmons $200,000. Dempsey and Wills will be given $25,000 each for training expenses. Both fighters agreed to fight for Fitzsimmons on a strictly percentage basis. The percentages that each fighter will receive for his end of the purse were not given out. No specific date was set in the contract except that the fight would be held sometime in September, 1926. The match, according to plans, will be staged in the Blue Sky arena owned by Fitzsimmons, at Michigan City. It has a seating capacity of about 30,000 but will be increased to meet demands. When the signing of the articles was concluded, Dempsey grasped the hand of Wills and wished him good luck. Dempsey would not look the Brown Panther in the face. Wills smiled broadly and wished the champion a lot of luck, too. Wilberforce Seeks Football Honors (Preston News Service) Wilberforce, Ohio, Oct. 1—In the line of athletics, Wilberforce a few years ago, was not much in the running—but this year bids fair to see her colors flying high and ranking with the schools that have been holding public attention in previous years. It can boast of Ted Thompson who won the singles at tennis and now is crowned National Champion among Negro players. It boasts of a basketball team that is yet to be beaten on a regulation court, and holds the championship in basketball. Last year Wilberforce's basketball team journeyed to Atlanta, Geo-gia, and beat Morehouse College, champions of the South, in an interesting but close game. Morehouse later came to Wilberforce and received a drubbing. Morehouse then went East, met Howard, Lincoln, Hampton and others and took the bacon home. Because of the fact Morehouse came from the far South and beat such teams as mentioned, and since Wilberforce beat Morehouse twice and not playing the teams Morehouse played, Wilberforce is entitled to championship honors in basketball. In baseball, seventeen games were played, twelve won and five lost, West Virginia Collegiate Institute being the only colored team played. All other games were with schools in the Ohio Conference. Two games were lost to Capitol, one to Muskingum, one to Wilmington and one to West Virginia. So, in baseball, Wilberforce stands out well in this section. At the Ohio State University Relays held at Columbus, Ohio, April 18, Wilberforce entered the 440-yard Sprint Relay and the 880-yard Sprint Medley Relay in Division Three, Class B. Colleges, and won second place, running against such schools as Ohio University, Ohio Wesleyan, Dennison, Otterbein, Oberlin, Cincinnati University, Blutton, Findlay and others. In track, Wilberforce stands out well. In its ranks it also has an indoor baseball team, a volleyball team and a soccer team. It has wrestlers, boxers and swimmers; so in all these activities Wilberforce is pushing more and more to the front and it won't be long before it will be recognized among leading Negro schools in athletics. In football this year, one of the best teams will be put on the gridiron that has ever represented Wilberforce in all its history. Witty Callen, Lewis or Burrell at left end; Slater at left tackle; Bickett at left guard; Buchanon at center; Evans at right guard; Calloway at right tackle, and Woolridge at right end. Wilberforce can boast of a line hard to beat. With Harding at left half; Wu Fang Ward at full back; "Bull" Williams at right half; Riekie, Longdon or Stout at quarter back, it can boast of a backfield noted to do its work. The second string division is a trifle lighter combination, but fast, Harris, Campbell, Simpkins, Jackson. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY OCTOBER 3. 1925 THE SPORT REVIEW LOUIS R. LAUTIER.

Forty candidates at Dunbar answered the call of Coach Saunders for football practice. The squad is facing a tough schedule, but with 15 men from last year's team and 25 new candidates, the prospects for producing a winning combination are good.

Washington High of Norflok, Huntington High of Newport News, Armstrong Technical High and Dunbar High of Washington, D. C. The Dunbar schedule calls for games with Shaw Junior: High, Manassas High, Armstrong Tech and Chevney.

This week marks the third week of practice and all seem to be standing the test Coach Graves is putting them through. Buchanon, of whom it was mentioned would not be eligible to play this year on account of back work in chemistry, is taking special work and will be seen in the football line-up.

Infantrymen Hold Tuskegee Scoreless Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 28—Playing its opening game last Saturday in the $50,000 Alumni Athletic Bowl, the Tuskegee Institute football team and the 24th Infantry eleven battled through four quarters, ending in a scoreless tie. On a slippery field, kept wet by continued showers and in the presence of twenty-five hundred spectators, whose spirits were not dampened in the least, the "Dixie Wonder Team" played the first quarter in the territory of the 24th Infantry without uncovering anything spectacular. The second quarter was played in the center of the field in a dead-lock fashion, neither team yielding any marked advantage to the other. Shortly after the opening of the triple-threat man, attempted a kick from placement, which was blocked and from this point both teams began an aggressive drive, which continued until the close of the game. Captain Williams, left-half, was the Infantrymen's star player. He was able supported by Oliver, right-end; Battle, left-end; and Dawson, left-tackle. On account of the slow field the soldiers did not attempt any overhead work, but out of two passes they completed one which counted the first down. Their one attempt at a kick from placement was blocked. For the Tiger team Duncan and Kitchen played a good defensive game at ends. Bailey played a hard and aggressive game. Steward was a wonder, he would find a hole or make one whenever called upon to carry the ball. Tadlock, captain, center, was immovable and Smith quarterback, exhibited good judgment. Stevenson, left-half stood out with his usual brilliance. His long pass to Smith, the only one of three completed, was good for sixteen yards and, first down, and his broken field running for long gains, featured his work. His thirty-five-yard run in the last minute of play thrilled the sidelines. He missed three chances at goal from placement. Tuskegee Positions 24th Inf. Kitchen LE. Battle Tadlock (capt.) L.T.

Among the boys who are candidates for places on the 1925 team are the following: William Gray, Charles F. ench, Leonard Meroney, Walter Gisby, Clifton Jackson, John Jackson, James Henderson, Albert Hays, Fletcher Turner, William Bowen, Napoleon Paris, Joseph Whitney, Stanley Fox, Wallace Coleman, Wendell Delors, P. lip Brown, Garnet Johnson, Clarence Spriggs, William Smith, Charles Williams, Milton Fox, Lewis Gashman, Robert Day and William Hutchins. The schedule is as follows: Oct. 16—Booker T. Washington High of Norfolk, at Washington Oct. 28-30 Huntington High of New port News at Newport News, Va. Oct. 30—Manassas High at Manassas Nov. 6—Douglass High of Baltimore Va. Union Prospects Good By C. L. Washington Jr. Richmond, Va., Oct. 3—With the looming as a promising year, the famous Virginia Union University football aggregation is rapidly getting in shape for what is expected to be one of the greatest seasons in their history. The veteran gridders, letter-men, as well as rookies, have been a riving on every train until now a group of athletes have been assembled who bid well to become a well-oiled, smooth-working football combination. Coach Harvey, the aggressive grid mentor from Washburn College, Kansas, who so successfully piloted the Panther's destiny last year, is back again working "with his sleeves rolled up" with the boys and getting them in form. He is ably assisted by assistant Coach Allen Jackson, veteran grid ace, and W. H. Rooks, star center. The line this year will be built up around the sensational center, Tobin, Redley, star guard, W. A. Smith, veteran end, "Tubby" Goodgain, and Ruffin, formerly of Hampton are making good. Shields, the brilliant half-back, will be a big factor in the backfield, with the dependable Boffman, star back Morgan, Tuskegee ace, Cotton of Oklahoma, and Washington of Denver, Colo. showing signs of speed and charging ability. The line has been built up around the veteran line-man, Miller (manager) and is very near the point of perfection. The team is being coached by William Murray and captained by George Brooks.

Considerable apprehension was felt because of the lost through graduation of Morgan, Captain Crudup and "Jazz" Byrd, and several substitutes. Several men who substituted last year and played on the scrub team, are showing up in good style and it looks as if the gap left vacant by the men who finished last year will be acceptably filled. The coach and those interested in the development of the team, realize that the school only has one "Jazz" Byd in a generation. It is not likely that there will be anyone in the back-field who will be quite so spectacular, but there are several candidates for the positions behind the line, who will make up in line plunging, end runs and forward passing what they lack in broken-field running. Lee, who finally found himself the latter part of last year, will be one of the regulars behind the line. Anderson is almost sure of the full-back position. Martin, Moris, Walker and Stratton are the ones who are travelig fastest at the preset time, but several of the new men are showing marked ability. Taylor, who has been used in the back-field, but was unable to do much playing last year because of a bad shoulder, has been shifted to an end position. In addition to his speed, he is a hard and short tackler, and is good on receiving forward passes. No comment on cap- Ex-Big Leaguers to Play LeDroit Tigers Mertz Lewis will send his All-Stars baseball nine into action against the LeDroit Tigers, champions of the District of Columbia and Maryland, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Union League Park. The All-Stars will be composed of Freddy Noome, Mickey Kelleher, Allie Watt, Eddie Foster, Tots Long, Monk Frazier, Johnny Bleir, Si Simons, Frank Watt and Blackie Ellwood, who has signed a contract with Charlieotte of the South Atlantic League. Eddie Foster, former Washington and Boston Red Sox third-sacker, will be seen at shortstop. New York, Sept. 26—Black Bill, flyweight champion of Cuba, won a twelve-round decision over Young Dencio, of Washington, at the Commonwealth A. C. tonight. The Cuban left little doubt of his superiority and had the lead in almost every round. In their last meeting, Dencio was awarded the verdict on a foul after Black Bill had piled up an early lead. train "Tad" Lancaster for the other end position is necessary. "Sampson" Sanders from Texas looks to be a fixture in the pivot position. Those who have seen him, think that he will be another Morgan. Wells from Storer ColZlege is showing up well at tackle. Grasty is sure of the other tackle position. Calloway, Henry and Toodle will fight it out for guard positions. Wilson, if he continues to improve as he did last year, will land some place in the line. The greatest problem is the filling of the position of quarter-back. It is hoped that Buster Brown will return, although this is uncertain. The most likely candidate is Walker. Julian Martin will also be tried out at quarter, although his natural position is half-back. Coach Young is giving a good deal of attention to placekicking and drop-kicking. He is unusually fortunate in having several men who are clever in this field. C. A. U. Holds Sunday Meeting C. A. U. Holds Sunday Meeting Absorption of Actors News by B tribune Indorsed Many Applications Received A called meeting of the Colored Actors Union, one of a series of Sunday sessions, was held at the Summit Hotel, in this City on September 27. The hotel parlor was crowded with members, prospective members and their friends, when Acting President Boots Hope called the session to order. Telfair Washington, Secretary, Chief Deputy Bartt Kennet and Deputy Gallie DeGaston with J. A. Jackson the Union Editor were the officials present. The meeting was a most enthusiastic one, and at the close a number of the members of the "Rummin' Wild" company together with some vaudevillians took out cards. Several addresses were made, much informal discussion followed each speaker. This was especially true of the reports made by the deputies as to the need for more aggressive activity for membership and funds with which to work. The discussions however were of the most friendly sort being the main suggestions as to how to arouse a greater interest and to convey the idea of united work to the profession on a nationwide scale. Announcement was made of the approaching election, and the need for all members to be in good standing to participate in the election. The membership, it was stated, would be advised of nominations and the ballotings would be my mail on the part of those not in Washington at the time selected for election day. Details of the plan to be followed will be made public after the next meeting. public arena. The membership dispensation was continued for another month. Several names were proposed for honorary membership, and according to the by-laws will be acted upon at the next meeting. The Benefit tendered to Sammy Dywer and Jewel Thomas, stranded members of the "How Come" show who need to be brought from Chicago approved.

Review at Orpheum GREAT BILL IN NEWARK The patrons of the Orphum Theater, Newark, were treated to an unusually good bill for the current week. Monday's audience indicated a complete appreciation of the fact by the applause that greeted every act. applause that they made. TRIXIE SMITH, assisted by OLIE BURGOYNE and a band, was the featured act. It went great. GREEN AND BURNETT, the singing hood carriers working with their special drop and using special numbers operatively arranged did as was to be expected "Wowed" them. The WOODENS, a bicycle and unicycle act was the novelty surprise. They have become metropolitan favor- ites. JACKIE MABLEY, one time Detroit newspaper woman, later a burlesque comic, who is perhaps the funniest woman on the American stage was a strong favorite with the laugh lowers. lovers. Through the courtesy of JOHNNY POWELL, RUTH TRENT and MARY POWELL supper club favorites were permitted to present some of the numbers that have made them popular in the clubs. Indeed it was a cultivated program. high calibrated program. The manager LEIGH WHIPPER advises that MAMIE SMITH'S REVUE established a new record for the house that has had a series of records made only to be broken since its opening. ing. The theatre that has provided employment for more than a score of local people, and that brings over thirty artists into the community weekly, gave rise to the establishment of a boarding house, a newsstand and a toilet goods store and has attracted national attention to the town has been unsuccessfully assailed by an alleged advancement association local with the result that it enjoys a remarkable success.

The North Carolina State Fair takes place October 19-24. Secretary Dr. JOHN LOVE, advises in a letter that he is directing the preliminary details from a sick bed. Miss Hill, his assistant for many years is relieving him of considerable of the work. A first class musical comedy or mindest attraction is wanted by Mr. Love for the fair dates. They would be booked to play the Auditorium Theatre which he controls for the week. S. H. DUDLEY and his stellar vaudeville unit with the "Easy Money" Film are in Louisville, the home of Sarah Martin, the featured singer with the combination. ROBERSON AND MACK STOMPY AND STELLA and the JACK WIGGENS DUO complete the bill. Next week they play for LEW HENRY at the ROOSEVELT THEATRE, Cincinnati, after which Washington will have the pleasure of seeing the group. MAGGIE JONES, a Columbia recording artist, has entered negotiations with MILTON B. STARR, president of the T. O. B. A. Circuit, for contracts covering a tour of the time.

George McClendon, playing with a white show in Washington this week, has been offered a chance to make a European tour with salary and expenses deposited in this country before starting. He has not yet committed himself as to what his decision will be. A BENEFIT THAT DID NOT BENEFIT Among the performers left in straightened circumstances in Chicago by the abrupt closing of he "How Come" show were two Washington people who at one time were members of the "Rosetime Revue," a locally recruited group of young artists, their friends and former associates endeavored to help the unfortunates and staged a benefit at the Lincoln Theatre for that purpose. It is with regret that it must be reported that the well intentioned efforts were without success. The performers working or at liberty in Washington donated their services, the "Rummin' Wild" company remaining over Sunday that the members might do their bit. The Colored Actors Union indorsed the Sunday show, and encouraged its members to help with services. Inadequate advertising because of a lack of knowledge that no amount of enthusiasm can replace is responsible for the poor attendance. Less than $62 was realized. Bills aggregating about a hundred dollars were made and Elliott Ratley, "Red" Davis and Hazel Jones have been much disappointed. J. R. Branson and his band worked the engagement, both rehearsals and performance, and were obliged to accept a compromise on the pay. The Actors, as usual of course, expected nothing. This would have been equally true of the musicians and stage hands and firemen, had the project been presented to them by responsible parties prior to the day of the affair. As it was these people all claimed recompense. One may well be sorry for the near beneficiaries, and for their friends who meant well, but failed. It is to their credit that they tried.

Mr. Cook has recently been very ill, but will soon resume his place with the attraction in which he owns a substantial interest. "NONSENCE" Whitney and Tutt with a fast little company of fifteen people, eleven of whom were girls, opened at the Howard Theatre on Monday night in a two hour show that may be commended to managers and patrons who seek laughter and like singing that is spiced with enough action to season the melodies. Despite the tired feeling that had overwhelmed many in the audience by the running of a long feature film prior to the presentation of the performance, the patrons were lifted into frequent explosions of good laughs. The choristers helped a lot, especially one or two rather plump dames whose dancing developed a lot of amusement. The boys have the support of a good group of principals, a girls trio being just about the most outstanding feature. The piece runs true to its title. It is just "Nonsence" and not awhit less nonsensical for its being spelled oddly. The whole thing is ady. The Page watched a group of Howard girls, and some married ladies sitting nearby, and how they did laugh. Incidentally, the house orchestra came in for encores, which goes to prove that the pit has more value that is usually conceded. Of course, some blase first nighters, who rarely see a real show, and hence are only pretenders insofar as judgement of the theatricals are concerned, managed to get their faces straight by the time they reached the exits so as to deliver some "Wise cracks", but the people laughed and applauded, hence we call it a good show. Salem and Tutt have delivered a good measure of entertainment in "Nonsence." REPUBLIC THEATRE A story of the Apache life in the underworld of Paris entitled, "Parisian Nights," will be shown at the Republic on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, October 4, 5, 6. Lou Tellegen, Elaine Hammerstein, Reene Adoree and Gaston Glass are the featured players. There is an aurora romance about the Paris Apache that illumines no other character. It is brought to the full light in "Parisian Nights." Tellegen and Miss Hamerstein are particularly apt selections for the two leading characters. Zane Grey's "The Light of Western Stars" will be the feature attraction on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 7, 8 and 9. The leading roles are portrayed by Jack Holt, Noah Beery and Billie Dove. It is a desert romance of the Arizona border where desperate outlaws clash with the sturdy Americans who are building up the range country. "Thy Name Is Woman" will be shown on Saturday, October 10, by special request. Ramon Novarro, Barbara LaMarr and Robert Edeson are in the cast. Sons Corporation Presents I.

He was seen the past week at the Lafayette Theatre in conjunction with the Cotton Club Orchestra. It was without a doubt a most entertaining and pleasing act and he received many encores. Miss Maud Russell, Mae Hudgins, Blanche Thompson, The Four Emperors of Song, (The reorganized Harmony Kings). Johnny Hudgins Brown and McCran constitute the cast of principals at the Cotton Club. This promises to be a wonderful show under the skillful direction of Walter Brooks. At the Lafayette this week there is an exceptionally good bill. Special mention aside from Johnmy Hudgins must be given to McGinty and Jackson. These two women on a comedy singing and dancing are on pan with the best acts over any circuit. The work of McGinty deserves special mention. She does a character part to such perfection that it takes most of us back to our boyhood days. Parsons & Randall have a very clean act. The singing of Parson proved to be a decided hit and he was forced to respond with an encore. This is a good act and ought to do well. The Six Harlequins a tumbling act which has been seen before pleased. On the whole the bill was very pleas- and an entertaining. The writer received a letter from Miss Bernice Ellis' sister in St. Louis stating that Miss Ellis has been very ill. The profession joins in wishing her a speedy recovery.

Phone, Franklin 8433 Rosalia Theatre Opens Winter Season Should "Birth of Nation" be shown? The Winter season in South Washington has been launched with the beginning of Autumn, though the Rosalia has not actually been closed at any time during the summer, so popular is Merrit Wilson's little house that provides a combination of Vaudeville and films for the residents of downtown Washington. The Vaudeville section of the bill for the week of September 21 which inaugurated the Fall policy included Dona Teresa, Grant and Wilson and Maleom and Fisher. If Saturday night's applause meant anything the style of offering was pleasing to the patrons who packed the house to enjoy the pleasures and speculation attendant upon Mr. Wilson's "Country Store." A strong film feature and a comedy reel supplemented the performers. A noticeable feature of the house is the consistent practice of courteous treatment and neighborhood respect that obtains with the house staff. Elsie Coleman, cashier who incidentally is a rather comely young lady begins with her smile a pleasant manner that lasts until the final good bye from any and all patrons. Mr. Davis, manager and Mr. Wilson, one or the other are on hand to exhibit a gracious interest in the most modest patron. To Merrill Shelton, the doortender, all patrons are as important as a presidential caller. Mrs. Jane Swann is pianist and Welford Reed handles the drums. The operators, both colored are James Washington, chief, and Percy Dorsey, assistant. They know their work and deliver well projected pictures. The handling of the special light effects of the Dona Teresa act was of unusual merit. Mr. Wilson is a pronounced progressive who believes in providing the best for his patrons. Just recently he had a screening of the "Birth of Nation" the sordid Anti-Negro story. He wants his people to know all that is said and done against them, so that they may better appreciate the problems of the Race at large. If a survey of the house following indicates that they should like to see the story, he is quite willing to show it; but, if he does, he is very anxious that they should know that it is purely upon the above grounds and entirely without any personal sympathies toward the film producers ideas as depicted in the story. He reasons that we should know what our opponents do and think, and that it is cheaper for his patrons to thus learn of it together in the seclusion of his theatre than to be obliged to one at a time seek out the nasty book at great personal cost. There is merit to his line of reasoning. However, he would welcome the views of his patrons, neighbors and the church officers of the vienna on the subject, for first of all he is a community man.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES OPEN This is one of two seasons which bring to our minds the exis- tence and function of one of our most important industries. It is a season which ends the vacation of the little tots‘and more or Jess gives mothers a new lease on life. It is a reminder which is always a little unsatisfactory. It is the season of matriculation. And, though there is an increase in enrollment shown yearly, there seemingly is a decrease in the appreciation of the real worth of an education on the part of pupils and students and an inability to organize a practicable curriculum on the part of the edu ators. Were we called upon to-define education, we should say, Real education is knowing what you want, where to get it, how to use it; and then using it so as to effect the best results for the good wf all concerned. One who is truly educated: does not shirk when conditions are depressing. One so educated does not desert the field of much needed labor as did the Rev. C. M. Long of Norfolk, Va., who left his parish because he could no longer combat the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. But the educated man dedicates his life and service to the success or the consummation of his ideal. And it is because of the lack of sincere, intelligent “activity” on the part of those who lay claim to education that this season creates in us a dissatisfaction. Our educators seem to be following the line of least resistence: producing encyclopaedic minds—minds possessing a multitude of facts and theories and past interpretation, instead of training pupils to interpret present conditions and creating in them a de- sire to act for the common weal. They are therefore sending’ forth minds lacking in initiative and thus collecting, rather than dispersing, the intellectual, and financial, and political clouds of depression which darken our to-morrows, ? The season of commencement oratory brings us no relief; for if it has all the nobility, it has also all the vagueness of those ad- dresses in which captains of other industries express their ideals of service and their hopes for the future, while the fall statistics of enrollment leave the haunting sense that the production of edu- cated men and women is one of our modern activities which somehow eludes mathematical treatment. It is possible to com- pute the investment in an educaional plant, and even the quan- tity of raw material available; but the value added by manufac- ture does not appear in any Department of Commerce summary. And the attempt to calculate the final return on the investment invariably leaves one in a distressing confusion between peda- gogical metaphysics and earning averages of classes ten years out. What can we show for it? The difficulty lies in the inability of our educators to discover precisely just what education consists of. To “educate” a boy or girl in the sciences and practices of the effective life is ex- tremely simple; but to solve the problem of what we are actually getting out of the schools and colleges is as difficult as to answer the problem of what we are actually getting out of the churches. There is nothing with with to make the comparison. Therefore, we are forced to accept them, as we do the churches, as neces- sarily imperfect instruments toward necessarily obscure ends. A LESSON IN “GEOGRAPHY” The following letter has been received by the Tribune: To the Editor of The Washington Tribune: Dear Sir: I am an ardent supporter of your paper, and appreciate your spirit of willingness to speak out against the evils under which we suffer. I trust! you will have something to say about the methods of some of our teachers in the public schools which are neither, educational nor beneficial. This year already the “rot” has begun. ‘My son, a pupil in the eighth grade, on Monday of this week, came home with a lesson assignment in Geography. The home work he was to do in _this subject was to fill out a blank form given to the pupils by the teacher setting out the amount of money his parents earned, what percentage they spend for clothes, house rent, amusements, etc. . Just what connection such questions have with geography, and under what theory a teacher feels that he or she is entitled to inquire into the private affairs of the parents of the pupils, I can not see. Such practices. should be stopped and our children should be given more education and less rotten folishness. Truly vonre. The Washington Tribune agrees heartily with this parent— that such an inquiry serves no educational purpose and, further, that it is a definite infringement upon the privacy of the home. Parents have no right to give their children such information to be imparted to their teachers. Just what is behind this “les- son in geography,” or where this information wken got is to be sent, ittis hard to tell. More and more public schools are degenerating into as near nothing, as far as education is concerned, as is possible to get them. “Foolishness and rot,” as our reader puts it, are rapidly replacing fundamental edutation. It is about time that the par- ents, who pay the taxes which supply the salaries of the teachers, should step in and put a halt to the utter “foolishness” going on in most of our public school class rooms. It would be indeed interesting to have the teachers themselves (especially the females) submit a budget of what becomes of their salaries. It would be interesting to learn what proportion is spent for clothes, vacation and to further their own education, et cetra; instead of calling upon the parents to submit for their perusal an itemized statement as to how the parents spend their money. The request would be far more logical around the other way, for in the final analysis the parents foot the teachers’ bill. A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY Pullman Porters are being-urged by those who wish to es- tablish race solidarity and economical recognition, to concert thought and action through UNIONISM. Never before has the time been more ripe than it is to-day. The American Federa- tion of Labor, the Big Four Brotherhoods, realize that an increase in number gives them an added prestige and a greater force. ‘They are encouraging the Porters in every way possible. UNION- ISM is a business with the Brotherhoods; and it will be a shame end a disgrace on the Pullman Porters if they do not seize this golden opportunity to remove through UNIONISM the intolera- ble evils perpetrated by the Pullman company. The trail has been blazed; and the pioneers are willing and ready to enable you, Porters, to enjoy the spoils that they may en- joy greater. Seize this Golden Opportunity; become as one in the pursuits of your happiness, And to-morrow, your posterity will sing praise to your names. 5 Clear oa The Sales person | ~ SERA, a BAVVAVTTa ee, The following discussion on sales- UD ANASEAS CAP SEE T-SRUSCE aaa from the yeas of exper-| 3 | iences that have been the lot of Oscar | pr |W.

BOY SCOUT LEADERS BECOMING ACTIVE FOR THE FALL Lieutenant Charles G. Young, pzes- dent of the Scout Leaders’ Round Table, announces a meeting of the Round Table at the Y.M.C.A. Sunday, October Lith, at 3:15 p.m. ‘The purpose of the meeting is to start the active work among the boys for the fall. ‘The progress made the fall of 1924 and spring of 1925 was a step in the right direction, but ean be described as only a step. During last year the Round Table group for scout leaders was organized with the following officers: Lt. Charles G. Young, president; L. W. 0. Old- ham, vice-p:esident; Edward Whitaker treasurer; Clarence T. Brooks, secie- tary. The purpose of this group of scout leaders was to increase the mor- ‘ale among the troops, to assist in instructing the colored Scoutmasters ‘in the technique of scouting, and to develop and promote inter-troop and city wide activities. On Decem: 18th, the first city- wide’ activity .. ‘he scouts was held ‘at the Dunbar High School. This was a swimming meet organized and con: ducted by the following committee: A. T. Simmons, chairman; C. T Brooke, Edward ‘Lee, James Terrell ‘and R,' Edward Whitaker. The meet was won by Troop 501, Lovejos School. The activity proved a splen- aid success and will be repeated this all. ‘The next forward step was the or ganization of a scout leaders’ train ‘ing class under the leade:ship of as: sistant eee H. B. Holbrook and field scoht executive Charles A. Bell ‘This training course started January 7th and ran for a period of ten weeks, with weekly sessions. This course wil be repeated again this year with « great many improvements. ‘The success of the scout movement depends upon the close cooperatior of every one of our people in Wash: ington, The support of the parents the help of every qualified man as 4 leader, either in an active or advisor} capacity is needed. The movemen should be on the basis of workin; together for but one thing; and tha is to better promote the welfare o our boys as a whole. ed bs i al bee: aa a co ee MR. AND MRS.

Prior to settling in this permanent location, he spent years in travelling in the hardest School of salesmanship known to the American public, That is, as a fair grounds and celebration salesman, for in that field one hes to interest his public with despatch, and to make quick and accu:ate decisions.—Ed. SALESMANSHIP Re Oesear- Toenkinc Being a Salesman calls for a lot of talk. In my judgment, a sales. person must have a pleasing person. ality, be sincerely interested in~his goods, know his line thoroughly anc a ‘first-class judge of human na- ture. Not all have these essential characteristics, for some men could not sell gold dollars for a dime each while others have the ability to sell dimes for a dollar each, No salesman has a jair chance unless he is backed up with merchan- dise that i a full hundred per cent value. With that as a basis, the gen- uine salesman can erect an a:tistic impression with the would-be patron. In 1902, or there about, I recall that I was selling walking sticks at Coun- ty Fairs. Peraps the reader may have seen me during that season. Canes were then a new novelty At Dongen Hills, Staten Island there was a long line up of novelty mer- chants. Among the performers were a troupe of cake-walkers. I promptly capitalized their work, for you might know that in that ante-bullum type of performante much is made of the manipulations of a hat and cane, 1 located myself near their stand so ‘as to attract the same patrons, and by doin g a bit of cane juggling myself, I did “top” business, even though a Negro merchant was quite unusual there. The impression I conveyed was that any one could do the tricks which was precisely what a crowd of that sort seeks for the American when bent on amusements feels a certain thrill in being fooled. Barnum was right. He was the master show salesman of the century. But to get back to the stores—to more conservative and less spectacula: selling, may I cite this. A lady made inquiries about an attractive little salt and pepper set, The price wa: $2.50, at down-town stores the lady had been given a price of one dollar moze. In common with many of the people, she was under the impression that values are in, conformity with price, and 30 per cent of our buyers are impiessed with the size and pat ronage class of a store. Very often, though, it is true tha the neighborhood store is able to save more on low rent and operating costs tha nthe big fellow can through hi larger wholesale purchases. This lady knew values and bought, largely be cause the sales-lady serving her mad lucid explanations which togethe: wit] the woman’s ability to recognize th exact similarity in merchandise obliged the buyer's heart to accep what her eyes and mind could see. If our public will learn to shop, anc our boys and girls to sell, the racé will make the grade. I could talk fo hours citing examples and lessons, bu’ practice from both sides of the coun. ter is what is going to take the Negr< into his proper place in commercia life. Talk won't do it. @ The offices of the L, H. Fishe’ Company has been moved from 191: Seventh street to 1338 V street.

Theatrical Notes “THE OVERLAND LIMITED” GREAT THRILL PICTURE COMING TO THE BROADWAY Starting Sunday, October 4th, until Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present one of the thrill picture in years in the “Overland Limited” with Malcolmn McGregor, Alice Lake, Olive Borden and many others in the title roles. Our’ patrons no doubt -will appreeiate the fact that an entire railroad division was utilized in film- ing the scenes for this wonderful pro- duction in the great climatic scene where the giant compound locomotive crashes through a damaged bridge and falls one hundred feet into“a moun- tain stream—we want to tell you it was an actual occurrenée and not trick photography. On Tuesday, Pauline Frederick in “Smoldering Fires.” Wednesday and Thursday, Alice Joyce in “The Little French Girl.” The week will end with a show that every mother should see and should even use force to have every daughter see it—Johnnie Walk- er and Virginia Lee Corbin im “Lilies of the Street.” ™ HOWARD THEATRE Irvin C, Miller’s presentation of Brown Skin “Artist and Models,” opening for a week's engagement at the Howard Theatre, should serve to satisfy the desire of the theatte-goer for “something different.” This pro: duction has proved during its two week’s ran in. cere, to have speed and pep. ‘This clever bunch of artists, this all-colored revue, will prove the thrill of the season as it is the most successful attempt, in which continuity has been sacrificed in favor of song and dance. Its variations, touching on_ senti- ment, drama, tragedy, comedy, thread- ed like a needle with crooning melody and syncopated music, would be a credit to Ziegfeld. The performances given by Billy Mills, Flo Brown, Cecil Rivers, Hayes Pryor, Jine Mack, Sammy Vanderhurst, Eva Metcalf, Lily Yuen, Cherie LaMont, Teyt Ro- ma, and many other favorites, which bring the total up to forty people.

BOY SCOUT ACTIVITIES For the benefit of the boy who can not pay forty cents for the Scout's official handbook, we are publishing the most important articles that are of interest to the rookie scout. Cut these articles out and keep them. SCOUTS ALERT FOR AUTUMN WORK Opening of the schools marks the closing of the vacation season and the beginning of a new year's work in scouting. Headquarters extends greetings to scouts and leaders as their work starts. Prospects are bright for another good year. The great scout movement was never in better shape, and never had so many friends. We hope that all are facing the winter's program with enthusiasm and the expectation of happy and profitable times. Plans are maturing rapidly for some big affairs, concerning which announcement will soon be made. Now is the appropriate time for troops to outline their own yearly program; it should include systematic advancement, the recruiting of new members, and plenty of experiences in the out-of-doors. Scouting offers great adventure for men and boys; and is like most other experiences in life, in that we get out of it in about the same proportion as we put in. The sluggard gets only a sluggard's return; while the wide-awake, active scout has joy and profit coming back to him all the time. A SCOUT IS CHIVALROUS Obviously a boy scout must be chivalrous. That is, he should be as manly as the knights or pioneers of old. He should be unselfish. He should show courage. He must do his duty. He should show benevolence and thrift. He should be loyal to his country. He should be obedient to his parents, and show respect to those who are his superiors. He should be very courteous to women. One of his obligations is to do a good turn every day to some one. He should be cheerful and seek self-improvement, and should make a career for himself. All these things were characteristics of the old-time American scouts and of King Arthur's knights. Their honor was sacred. They were courteous and polite to women and children, protected the weak and aged, and helped others to live better. They trained themselves to be strong, so as to be able to protect their country against enemies. They kept themselves strong and healthy; constantly prepared. So the boy scout of to-day must be chivalrous, manly, and gentlemanly. ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S BASEBALL CROSS-WORD PUZZLE C.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925 THE PRACTICE OF THRIFT From time to time your Editor has suggested that thrift should be next to your pride of race. Thrift is the pass-word admitting us to financial independence; financial independence leads to personal independence; personal independence leads to personal pride—and to a greater demand upon others for respect for us and for our race. You must not think that because you are Negroes that things are against you. Start on the road to better things by beginning to save. The foundation of success is thrift. SAVE! There is a flower that grows on barren mountains and sea coasts. It struggles along alone with all odds against it, but it finally blossoms into a beautiful pink flower. It is called the sea-pink. So the little boy or girl may struggle along against many odds and blossom forth because of early days of thrift. When your school bank opens, be among the first to open an account. Do not use your savings at Christmas time, nor at vacation time. Take it to a bank and keep it there. Always bear in mind that one must possess a certain amount of this world's goods if one is to demand any degree of self-respect. Also remember that thrift—the art of saving—leads us to financial independence, moral stamina and sturdy character. We learn thereby to live clean, act justly and to deal wisely. In other words, we learn to use our and kindly deeds and our investments and kindly deeds and our investments return to us a hundredfold in money and in character. It has been said that we bring nothing into the world and can take nothing out. But do we not bring with us into the world infinite possibilities for service—talents, if you please, and—who knows—may we not, after having crossed the Great Divide, hear voices speaking at our side, saying: "Here are some of your friends which you cultivated back on earth. We are called Integrity, Honesty, Character. We are known collectively as THRIFT, and you developed us in your early life and we have followed you here to add to your usefulness throughout Eternity." Truly, the thrift idea is worthy to be fostered. TWO GOOD ONES Dear Editor: Here are a few good jokes I like: "What is the matter with your old cat? She looks so unhappy?" "Pa hurt her feelings dreadfully. Bought home a mouse-trap yesterday. I told him not to, 'cause cats has got their feelings same as anybody else." Here's another one: "Bobby was sitting on his mother's lap during a hard thunderstorm. He had previously asked what made the thunder, and he was told it was God talking: "Mother," he said, "don't you wish God wouldn't speak so loud?" SELMA E.

Hopkins Dear children, last week we were interested in America's favorite biscuits—those delicious tea biscuits. I am wondering what kind of luck you had with yours. Remember the old adage, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This week we will try to make some good old English butter biscuits. The English rave over their butter biscuits (petit beurre). A good definition of what an English biscuit is, is something no part of which should remain soft. Even the sugar and cream fillings are not really soft, for, like candy, they harden in time. Butter Biscuits Mix with two pounds of sifted flour of the best quality three ounces of good butter, and work it into the smallest possible crumbs; add four ounces of fine, d y, sifted sugar and make them into a firm paste with new milk; beat this forcibly for some time with a rolling pin, and when it is extremely smooth roll it the third of an inch thick, cut it with a small square cutter and bake the biscuits in a slow oven until they are crisp to the center; no part of them should remain soft. SOME GOOD RULES 1. Play in the open as much as possible. 2. Eat slowly. Do not eat between meals. Chew food thoroughly. Never drink water when there is food in the mouth. Drink water several times a day. 3. Brush your teeth at least once a day. Rinse your mouth out well with water after each meal. 4. Be sure your bowels move at least once a day. 5. Keep clean—body, clothes, and mind. Wash your hands always before eating, and after the use of the toilet. Take a warm bath with soap once or twice a week; a cool sponge (or shower) bath each morning before breakfast and rub your body to a glow with a rough towel. 6. Use your handkerchief to cover a sneeze or cough and try to avoid coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose in front of others. 7. Study hard, and in study, work, or play-do your best. Ministers Alliance Meets The Ministers Alliance of Washington and Vicinity met in their Annual Fall session, Monday in the John Wesley A. M. E. Church, Dr. C. L. Russell, president, Dr. Russell brought before the Alliance the idea of forming a National Interdenominational Alliance which shall have for its object the union of all the Evangelical Christian denominations of the race for discussion of national questions. After a short discussion the Alliance voted unanimously to support the Chairman who explained with their co-operation he hopes to work out a feasible plan making the realization possible. The meeting was addressed Bishop C. C. Alleye of the A. M. E. Zion Church, giving an instructive description of the native Africans, their needs, morality, customs and manners, in his Episcopal district in West Africa. Rev. J. A. Walters responded ably to the Address of the Young Bishop who is on furlough.

Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair and after experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Coconut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano paleced his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow -for science has shown that under moist bald scalps the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to Dept. 64.

MUSIC By Wellingt ROLAND HAYES TRIUMPHS IN BERLIN Again Roland Hayes creates new atmosphere interpreting German lieder in a recital in Berlin, Germany, according to foreign press reports. The noted tenor is praised by critics in the same breath along with other American artists as is customary in countries where no prejudice exists as in America. We quote as follows: "Hayes made his debut here last year when Berlin music lovers went to hear him more out of curiosity than because they expected a musical treat. However, on that occasion they separated pronouncing him a genuine artist. They were surprised to find that Hayes was mastering not only the German language, but also the spirit of German music. So well has the Negro tenor interpreted lieder that critics have said that only his color prevented them from insisting that he must be of German blood." Claims Folk Songs Good for Opera Edouard Albion, general manager of the Washington Opera Company in outlining plans he has for co-operation in the staging of a festival of music in this city next May as outlined by Commissioner Rudolph in a statement some time ago, among other things said: "The May festival could serve no greater purpose than to foster American music and American musicians. The Folk songs of this country offer as excellent material for grand opera as those of any other country." Buy Your M and Su REID'S MU 1024 U Street, N. W.
