Fenning, a commissioner of the District of Columbia, spoke at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R Street, Northwest, on "Washington of Tomorrow" at the first regular monthly assembly of the season last Friday evening. Mr. Fenning recounted the growth and development of the capital. He declared that the history of Washington "is one of increased population and progress." The world war, he said, was simply an incident. "A city of a half million population," he said, "naturally presents a great many problems, and the way to meet those problems in a manner that we will be prepared for the future growth and development that must come so long as the progress of the country continues is to have a thought of tomorrow." The subject was discussed by Armond W. Scott, Mortimer M. Harris, James C. Waters, R. R. Horner and others. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, president of the club, presided. George H. Murray presented the Commissioner. Two violin selections were rendered by Master Edward Miner. Plans were made Saturday night by the charity entertainment committee to give the Annual Charity Reception at Murray Palace Casino Friday, December 15th. The money derived from this reception is used for charity purposes at Christmas time. The committee of which Mr. John Wilkinson is chairman, expects to make this a gala affair. This will be the third affair of its kind given by the Club. SEEKS DIVORCE; CHARGESCRUELTY SEEKS DIVORCE; CHARGESCRUELTY Charging cruelty, Mrs. Lillian E. Blaine, through Attorney William O. Davis, has filed suit against her husband, William N. Blaine, 1208 Twenty-fifth Street, Northwest, in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce. She alleges that she and her husband have not lived together since May 3, last when he came home at 4:20 a.m., and beat her because she asked him if he knew what time it was. She says it was necessary to send police to their apartment. On the following morning, she claims, he cut her clothing and threw them in a trash box, and she returned home to her mother in Hall's Hill, Va. Mr. Blaine is employed at the Chestnut Farms Dairy, says Mrs. Blaine, and earns $24 a week. He is voluntarily contributing $8 a week toward the support of her and their two children, she declares, but this is an insufficient amount, and she asks the court to give her temporary alimony. The couple were married in Hall's Hill, Va., March 14, 1921. They have two children, Fredonia Ellen Blaine, three years old, and Roland William Blaine, two years old. N.A.A.C.P.

The Washington Tribune OFFICERS OF ALLIED FINANCE CORPORATION SUED FOR ACCOUNTING A suit for an accounting has been filed in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by George F. Hatton, of 1144 Nineteenth Street, Northwest, against the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation and its officers, Emmett J. Scott, president; Dr. A. M. Curtis, vice-president, and John R. Hawkins, treasurer. Mr. Hatton is a skilled laborer in the Government Printing Office. He sues as a stockholder owning 106 shares of common and 20 shares of preferred stock, and in a representative capacity in behalf of other stockholders similarly situated as himself. He is represented by Attorney George A. Parker and J. Franklin Wilson. He claims in his bill of complaint that Mr. Scott, Dr. Curtis and Mr. Hawkins have failed and refused to make a full and complete accounting of their acts as agents and officers of the corporation and have also refused to give him any information concerning the conditions of affairs of the corporation. He charges that they have paid out large sums of money in commissions and other charges, the nature and amount of which he has been unable to learn. He also declares that they have paid out monies purporting to be dividends from the earnings of the corporation when such sums were a part of the capital stock. He says that they have arranged to dissolve the corporation and distribute the funds without a meeting to authorize such dissolution and distribution. He asks the court to require the corporation to make and file a complete accounting from the date of its incorporation, to enjoin Mr. Scott, Dr. Curtis and Mr. Hawkins from disposing of any corporate funds until such an accounting is made, to require them to account for funds of the corporation coming into their hands or disposed of by them, and to refer the matter to the auditor of the court for an inspection of the accounts that may be filed. The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, December 22, 1920, and did its principal business in the District of Columbia. It had its offices at 717 Floida Avenue, Northwest. These offices were closed January 1st, last. GOOLIDGE'S SPEECH WELCOMED BY MANY Washington, D. C., Oct. 15.—(By The Associated Negro Press.) Republican leaders and supporters of the present national administration who have interpreted the President's Omaha speech as an attack on he Ku Klux Klan and racial hatreds, even that against the Negro, are of the opinion that it was welcomed by fully one-third of the population which comes under the ban of the Klan and the intolerance bred since the world war. They explain as follows: "The Klan has directed its activities chiefly against the Catholics and Jews, with the members in the southern states also arrayed against the Negro. There are 18,559,787 Catholics, and 3,000,000 Jews in the United States, according to recent estimates. Those of foreign birth or descent in the United States, against which the Klan stand, include those from Central Europe. There are about 7,230,000 classed as of German origin, 3,120,000 of Austrian origin. The Negro population in the United States in 1920 was more than 10,000,000. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925 A. S. PINKETT RESIGNS FROM GOV'T SERVICE A. S. Pinkett quits Department of State to assume management of the real estate firm of John A. Hyder & Co. and to pursue the general practice of the law. His offices are at 1019 U Street, Northwest. Mr. Pinkett is a graduate of the law department of Howard University and a member of the local bar. He is active in civic, religious and fraternal fields and has a large circle of acquaintances. At present he is secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advance- [Name] ment of Colored People and is officially connected with several of the leading business enterprises among colored people. He is secretary of the Capital Coaster Company, a $60,000 enterprise operating at Suburban Gardens and general counsel for the Universal Development and Loan Company, a $100,000 corporation which owns 65 acres of land in the northeast section of the District of Columbia and operates Suburban Gardens. The Tribune is confident that Mr. Pinkett's established reputation for honorable dealing will make him an asset to the growing group of business men in our midst.

LONGSHOREMEN TAKE POLICY FOR $250,000.00 LONGSHOREMEN TAKE POLICY FOR $250,000.00 Houston, Tex., Oct. 15. (By The Associated Negro Press) Perhaps the largest policy ever issued by a colored insurance company to a colored organization, was issued here this week, when the International Longshoremen Association, through Freeman Everett, president, insured its membership for $250,000 in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D.C. Insurance men here state that this is the largest single insurance contract ever handled entirely by race men, the deal being closed by Oscar J. Polk, manager of the South Texas district for the Washington company. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is reputed to be one of the largest and strongest financial institutions of the race, operating in twenty-six states, with ninety-nine branch offices, writing health, accident, and ordinary insurance policies on men, women, and children. G. B. Reid Opens Haberdashery Reid's Men's Shop, located at 11th and U Streets, Northwest, was formally opened for business on Thursday, October 15th. This store is the second of its kind in this section owned and operated by race business men. Mr. Graham B. Reid, the genial proprietor, has assembled one of the most complete stocks of gents' furnishing in the city. The store is located in the same building as Reid's Music store. The two stores form what is now called Reid's Corner. The two stores, with their large display windows, makes a commendable showing. Assisting Mr. Reid in the management of the two stores, is his wife, Mrs. Ida Reid. Several employees in addition are required to handle the volume of business. The new store has been given a big reception by the public. The complete stock makes it unnecessary for men to go down town for their haberdashery. Mr. Reid stated to a Tribune reporter that his store will carry the best quality of goods at all times and at the lowest prevailing prices. INTERNATIONAL FAVORITE SORRLOCK PHOTO Mme.

Turner) One of the prettiest and most gorgeous weddings of the season took place Wednesday evening, October 14, 1925, at Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, when Miss Gertrude Curtis, the daughter of Dr. A. M. Curtis of this city, became the bride of Dr. Fleming Norris of Lynchburg, Va. The church was decorated with palms, autumn leaves and chrysanthemums bearing out the "Golden Wedding" effect. Despite the downpour of rain which started early in the afternoon, the church was crowded when the bridal party began to arrive promptly at six o'clock. The ribbon bearers wending their way toward the altar started the procession. The little girls, Nadine Harris, Verdelle Norris, Adelaide Cromwell and Jeanne Curtis, wore dainty little yellow gerogette dresses trimmed with ruffles, while little John Rector, Jr., was attired in a black velvet Fauntleroy suit. Following the ribbon bearers came the bridesmaids, Clarissa Scott, Caroline Manns, Elise Evans of Chicago, Ill., and Ethel Norris, sister of the groom, wearing gorgeous orange chiffon dresses, trimmed in rosebuds studded with rhinestones representing dew drops. They wore magnificent rhinestone head-dresses, the gift of the bride each and carried large bouquet. yellow chrysanthemums. The groommen entering as the bridesmaids were Messrs. Drs. Merrill H. Curtis and Maurice Curtis, brothers of the bride; Dr. Paul Piper, Dr. Carter Marshall, Dr. Henry Brown and Clarence Green of New York City. The maid of honor, Miss Sara Arnold, wore a deeper orange chiffon gown, studded with rhinestones and carried a large bouquet of chrysanthemums. Mrs. James Scott was matron of honor and wore an orange chiffon studded with rhinestones and carried a large bouquet of chrysanthemums. The ring bearer, Master Billie Lofton in a Fauntleroy suit, preceded the bride. The bride, Gertrude Curtis, accompanied by her father, Dr. A. M. Curtis, followed. Her gown was exquisite. It was made of embossed white velvet combined with georgette and Duchess lace, fashioned on straight lines heavily embroidered in rhinestones. Her court train was of the same material as her gown embroidered in rhinestones. Her veil of Duchess lace was made into a car (Continued on page 5) PRICE 5 CENTS SPECIAL PROGRAM ARRANGED BY REV.

AppointedGrand Band Master of the Elks Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson of the I. B. P. E. of W., announces the appointment of Prof. A. Jack Thomas of Baltimore as Grand Bandmaster of the Order. He has been for several years director of the Elks' band in Baltimore, and is an accomplished conductor with perhaps the most extensive technical training in his art possessed by any one of his Race, perhaps as great as any in the country without regard to Race. For seventeen years he was the bandmaster of the famous Tenth Cavalry band, U. S. A. for being one of the five best qualified bandmasters in the Army in 1911, he was selected with the four others who were white men to attend the Damroch school of music for advanced work. He has studied under Walter Damroch of the New York Symphony Orchestra, taken Military band and orchestra ensemble work under Dr. Frank Damroch, band instrument and pedagogy under Arthur Clapp of Knellar Hall, England; musical history under Waldo Selden Pratt of New York; appreciation and understanding of music under Dr. Henry E. Khrebiel in New York; ear training under Franklin Robinson of New York University and Professor A. JACK THOMAS harmony, theory, counterpoint, transcribing and harmonic forms under Percy Goetschius and Frederick Andrews of New York City. Prof. Thomas has been since the war, the director of the Aeolian Conservatory of Music in Baltimore and the conductor of the Aeolian Orchestra and Choral Club. He is responsibly interested in virtually all of the community welfare interests, and substantially connected with many of the business projects of our group. He is a 32nd degree Mason. He is a real soldier, and served through the World's War as a line officer in the Artillery. While with the Tenth Regiment, he directed his band on a tour that took the organization entirely around the world, something no other Negro musical unit has ever done. With such leadership, the musical features of the Elks, perhaps the outstanding characteristic of the annual conventions is certain to reach standards far beyond what has already been accomplished, as great as that has been as conceded by the press of the land, both white and black. Prof. Thomas is a remarkable acquisition to the grand staff of the big order.

Turner) CANNING AND PRESERVING Now that the fall of the year is here, thrifty housewives are turning their heads toward the canning of fruits, vegetables and pickles for the coming winter. In this column we will give some helpful hints on canning. If the directions given are followed carefully we assure our readers of success: Canning The success of canning depends upon proper sterilization. immersing in hot water, it means boiling. Sterilization does not mean simply ing. There is a great difference between hot water and boiling water. Water boils at 212 degrees F., and it is only at this temperature that the bacteria which cause food to spoil is killed. Allow all utensils, jars, covers, etc., to boil ten minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in boiling water just before using. Be sure to test all jars for leakage before using. Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils and a clean kitchen free from flies are essential for safety and success. Preserving The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of sugar and fruit may be followed. Methods of Canning There are two methods of canning, the open kettle and the cold pack method. The former method, the one most commonly used for preserves, jams and marinalades, food is completely cooked and poured hot into sterilized jars. In the latter method, food is uncooked or partly cooked and packed in cans or jars with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized. Canning by Owen Kettle Method Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces, depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until done. Fill the sterilized jars, seal and invert. THE FASHION WEEK HISS MARTHA GRAHAM. Clerk for Catholic Review. Y. W. C. A. NEWS (By Y. W. C. A. Reporter) Dr. J.

PAGE TEN ```markdown ``` Canning Preserving Canning by Cold Pack Method Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small quantity of the fruit at a time. Do not blanch cherries, sour cherries excepted, berries or plums. Cold dip—by immersion in cold water. Pack firmly in tested sterilized jars to within ½ inch of top. Fill jars to within ¼ inch of top, with boiling water, fruit juice or syrup. Place a new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal. Place jars on a false bottom of water bath and sterilize required time. Do not begin to count time until the water boils. Keep water boiling during the required time. Remove jars, seal or tighten tops and invert to cool. Vegetables may also be canned by this method. A Time Table for Canning Fruits by Cold Pack Method Fruit ... Time of Blanching Time of Sterilizing Apricots, Peaches 1-2 16 Blackberries 16 Cherries, Strawberries Grapes, Plums 16 Fruit juices 20 Huckleberries, Rasberries 16 Pears 1-2 20 Pineapples 60 Quinces 1-2 60 Use of Sugar in Canning Fruit Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and is not necessary for preservation. Thin Syrup—1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits. Medium Syrup—1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium sweet fruits. Thick Syrup—2 parts of sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits. To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is dissolved then boil 2 or 3 minutes. Canned Peaches Scald sound, firm freestone peaches a small number at a time in boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip them quickly into cold water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves and remove stones. Proceed as in open kettle method or cold pack method as desired. Canned Pears Wash, and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches. Canned Berries Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries, goosberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible after picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up and down in pan of cold water. Pack in tightly. Boiling water or medium syrup should be poured over the fruit at once. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling water. Remove jars, tighten covers, invert to test, seal and cool. Next week we will discuss canning vegetables and making of jellies and jams. Come for inspiration and knowledge. We are glad to welcome already, to many new members with the beginning of the fall activities. The volunteer workers are anxious to complete their program, so won't you also give your membership now, so as to be placed on program? NORTHEASTERN INS. CO. DOES BIG BUSINESS, FIRST MONTH Newark, 'N.J.-Directors attending the regular monthly meeting of the Northeastan. Life Insurance of this city, held here Friday, expressed themselves after the meeting as greatly gratified at the rapid progress the Company is making. Reports of officers showed applications for nearly a quarter of a million dollars of insurance during the first month of the Company's issuance of policies. The first month's business is in honor of Louis C. Bulloch, treasurer of the company, whose unusual act in putting up nearly $50,000 in Stock Exchange securities made the successful organization of the Company possible. At the present rate the Company will write over a million and a half the first year of its existence. Arrangements have also been effected whereby the Company can write larger amounts of insurance than ever before.Through its actuaries, a promi- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1925 INTERVIEWS Arline Brooks of Whitney and Tutt's Stock Company Shows Ability (By Bee Ell Tee) Miss Arlyne Brooks, petite singer and dancer of Whitney and Tutt's Stock Company was seen to advantage the week of September 28th at Howard Theatre in "Nonsense," a snappy comedy. Miss Brooks is doing leads in this show which she had never dreamed of in her short stage career. Prompted by no other than a ro- MISS ARLYNE BROOKS mantic desire to go on the stage, two years ago, Miss Brooks then a modest little school girl of Boston, Mass. applied for a position with "Shuffle Along" No. 2. Her unassuming, innocent manner won for her a place with this company despite the many hundred applicants. When Whitney and Tutt took over the company, she remained and now seems to be a "stable fixture" in this company. When she first went on the stage she was really green. She had no stage presence, couldn't dance—she could sing a bit—but she was a genuine "rookie," to use the army term. But her determination to make good her desire to be an "A No. 1" chorus girl led her on and in a few months, she was attracting the attention of every audience to the work of the "little youngster" on the right end. When asked why she did not aspire to leads, she explained she would never be able to face the people alone on the stage. But presto—change;—no more is she the little timid "rookie" of two years ago—she is taking leads now and seems to be quite a favorite with her audiences. Her work in the "Melody Maids Trio" made up of Mable Ridley, Frank Watts and herself, in "Nonsense," is one of the features of the show. At all times she is graceful, full of pep, and always willing to try to do whatever part she is assigned, to her best ability. Miss Brooks is a winner. She is going big even now and we predict a brilliant future for her in the next few years. To appreciate our thought concerning Miss Brooks, see the show and then determine if we are exaggerating. Incidentally she has a very active romance in progress with a capable young man in the cast; and, well she may provide a "wedding bells" story soon. Anyhow, that's our guess. From the Melting Pot (By Vivian Turner) A wise girl is she who does not marry simply because it is a fad, for she would rather be a happy old maid and enjoy freedom rather than be a disgruntled matron chained to a stumbling block simply to say she is married. * * * * * That fashion has brought a very disgusting style to us is certainly seen in the roll-top stockings, displaying many unsightly knees. * * * * * Sewing circles and card clubs are merely incubators of trouble. It is here that the egg of gossip is started and soon hatches into a full grown chick of gigantic size; you could hardly recognize its humble beginning. Every girl tries to be present or else she becomes the subject of a panning contest between the members. This is a terrible thing, but girls is it not true? The styles this year of bobbed hair, and extremely short dresses baffle everyone when observed from the rear, because the flappers, widows and oldmaids all look alike. Girls, never let a man know the true extent of your love, for it is then he figures he can do you as he pleases. The knowledge of it "stretches his hat band" so keep him guessing, always make him think there is someone else. If a man decides to play "quits," don't grieve and grow thin. Make yourself more attractive; add to your powers as a conversationalist; he a "good fellow" and yet a "refined fellow"; and you will find you will be so sought for by the other sex that even he will sit up and take notice. Men do not like the pretty, silly creature without a thought, but the attractive, refined girl who is a good fellow combined, who can talk with them, finds a place in their hearts which is stationary. ment New York firm, representing some of the largest companies in the country, a reinsurance treaty has been perfected whereby the company can reinsure all the risks that it does not desire to keep for itself. This follows the practise of the large white companies who have been able to build up a tremendous business because it can write all the insurance that a man wants, then distribute the risks among a number of companies. It will write as much as $15,000 on a single life of a person in good health able to pay the premiums. THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature Although it is a little premature for complete showings of early models in evening wear—of the few that have been shown, serve to indicate fabric importance rather than style tendencies. Rodier's brocaded chiffon velvets are more popular than ever for evening wear—and vying with them are the imported shawl silks lavisily emroidered in variations of colors. Gold and silver tissues with a soft reflection of color are also receiving their share of attention. When it comes to color, we may say that fuchsia is rapidly receding in popularity. In is place we find every graduation of lavender from the palest of orchid to the darkest and most sombre of purples. Blue, on the contrary, is maintaining its hold on the evening situation. Even so, however, it is not seen as frequently as the very yellow greens and soft reds which dominate our evening wardrobes. Never was there a season when so much garniture was lavished on the backs of frocks. Especially is this true of evening dresses and the designers have found a thousand different ways of making the rear view quite as winsome, if not more so, than the front view. One of the most distinctive evening gowns of the season was seen at the opera last week worn by the Countess of Devonshire—which I am sure was created by the incomparable Renee. It emphasized the extreme use of back trimming typical of this new spirit. The most arresting feature of the gown consisted of a rash-like drapery hanging from the back decolle- tege. JAPAN BANS BOBBED HAIR AND SHORT SKIRTS New Work, October 12—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Dispatches from Tokio, Japan, indicate that Japan is not going to be led by the radical styles of the Occident. Bobbed hair was checked by an order issued banning all styles of occidental headaddress and the women have been forbidden to wear short skirts by the arbiters of fashion in the island kingdom. Mme.

A This drapery was of deep violet georgette to harmonize with the this-side velvet gown and is divided so that on each side a section is brought to the front. Here the two ends tie in the bow with trailing ends. On the skirt were loops of velvet so identified with Reese's name. They were brought into play against an underskirt of plaited silver and purple lace. And it goes without saying that the whole color scheme left nothing to be desired. Among the many exact duplicates of Paris models in our gown department is an exquisite chaulet evening gown of pale rose chiffon combined with silver lace which in turn is interspersed with graduated dots of silver kid. In other respects, too, this model should hold your attention. The skirt tilts upward in front and a similar movement at the waist line is eloquent of our autumn modes. The waist is made with a deep yoke of silver lace dipping in scallops, to correlate with the border of lace on the skirt. The final item of interest occurs in the accessories. flower and the even more popular Here is a brand new thought to string of pearls. A crimson rose amalgamate the popular shoulder caught in the strands of pearls is wonderfully effective. Let me hasten to say, however, that the chiffon dance frocks will probably be won by the youthful throughout all of the coming season this type of thing expresses, indeed so completely the spirit of youth that we are not going to say good by to it just because we have said good by to summer.

I think in this modern day when living expenses are so high that the average man of moderate means is not able to give his wife all the luxuries she might wish and I see no reason, as young as you are and in good health, why you should give up your position. Woman has long since ceased to be regarded the inferior of man as she was in olden times. She is now regarded as equal to the male sex and is in some cases forced to be the bread winner. It has ceased to be a disgrace for a woman to work. She works right along beside the man. She demands respect and recognition and likewise gives it. She is no longer subservient to the man because he is her "living". She is independent and able to feel more free than if she were wholly dependent. However, this does not mean she must at all times exercise and display her independence. She should give and take. The two work as partners, on a business basis, harmoniously at all times, realizing that the two are as one, and together plan and work and build a home, the one helping the PORO AGENT RENDERS DISTINCTIVE SERVICE to Patronize Her AIR AND TOILET PRODUCTS stand out competition with character strikingly their own.

In this way you have grown to reverence each other, then it is time to stop work, should you so care. Now to take the other side—sometimes I am inclined to believe it a good thing in some cases for a woman not to work. It is really man's duty to care for his wife and if he really desires his wife to stay home and take care of the home while he works—I am sure he is a better man for it. He knows and realizes his responsibility and goes ahead to shoulder it. A woman's help sometimes serves to make a man negligent in some cases and what she starts, he looks forward to, and should she stop, he becomes dissatisfied. Really, it is a question of what to do, but I advise you to keep your job as long as you can while you are young and I'm sure you'll never regret it. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SPEEKS OF "Under present conditions any ambition of America to become a nation of home owners would be by no means impossible of fulfillment. The land is available, the materials are at hand, the necessary accumulation of credit exists; the courage, the endurance and the sacrifice of the people are not wanting. Let them begin, however slender their means, the building and perfecting of the national character by the building and adorning of a home which shall be worthy of the habitation of an American family, calm in the assurance that 'the gods send thread for a web been.' "Here will be found that satisfaction which comes from possession and achievement. Here is the opportunity to express the soul in art. Here is the sacred influence, here in the earth at our feet, around in the heartstone, which raises man to his true estate." 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. CHILDREN'S PAGE In the June 1912 number of the Green Book, a publication devoted to stage folk, Reinold Wolf writes of Bert Williams as "The Greatest Comedian on the American Stage." Bert Williams died in New York City, March 4th, 1922. He leaves a wealth of sunshine to the world by having passed through it. Submitted by Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Congregational Temple. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33. Some of his best jokes are quoted here: SOME OR BERT WILLIAMS' BEST JOKES Sam Johnson didn't believe the world was round and said so. Many of you have heard of the great comedian, Bert Williams. Bert's real name was Egbert Austin Williams. "Why, Sam," said the school teacher, "you can see for yourself it can't be anything but round. The sun rises over there in the east, doesn't it?" He was a native of New Providence, Nassau, in the British Bahama Islands. When he was two years old his family brought him to New York. His father was a papier-mache maker, "Then if the earth isn't round, how does it manage to get back in the east in the morning?" "Don't prove nothin'," said Sam, "Ol sun jes nachally slips back at night, dat's all." A. B. A soldier in the A. E. F. went running up to his sergeant during a hot battle and exclaimed, breathlessly: "Sergeant, Kunnel Williams jest been injured." "What happened to him?" asked the sergeant. "He jest had his head blowed right off." The candidate for Congress was making an outdoor speech in a remote county. "Who dat man, Joe?" asked Sam Jones on the outskirts of the crowd. "Ah don't know his name eggsactly," said Joe, "but he shore do recommen' hiself most highly." An angry brother is telling a man friend that he thinks his wife must be crazy. which brought him in contact with the theatres. In this way Williams got acquainted with the stage. "Why, what do she do that make you think that?" From New York the family moved to Riverside, California, in which place he graduated from the high school and went to San Francisco intending to study to be a civil engineer. "She's always askin' me for money. She wants one dollar, two dollars, five dollars—even if it's only fifty cents, she ask me for money two or three times a day." His first experience on the stage was as a member of a little mountebank minstrel show which played the lumber and mining camps of California. He later became noted as a member of the famous Williams and Walker Company. The last several years of his life he was the star of The Follies, a leading white vaudeville company. "Well, what do she do with all this money?" "Ah don't know, 'cause Ah ain't never give her any." "I used to be jes' crazy 'bout apples," said Spruce, "but here lately I'se had to gib 'em up—I kep' hearin' so much 'bout dat apple-plexy."

Camp Matthews at Ridge, Maryland had a banner season this year. Its site on the Cardinal Gibbons Institute property afforded a magnificent view of St. Mary's River and the broad Potomac as it loses itself in the Chesapeake Bay. The camping grounds with its imposing array of tents, arranged in army street formation; the large open field for baseball and other athletic games; the broad expanse of water, trimmed here and there with a sail; its inviting coolness—all thrilled the boy at first sight and sent his warm young blood coursing through his veins. The daily program at the camp was calculated to keep the boy occupied with wholesome and instructive recreation. Up at 6 a. m., to the call of "Reveille" he was given fifteen minutes to turn out for "Pledge to the Flag," flag raising, and scout oath and laws. This was followed by setting-up-exercises and a walk to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute dining hall for 7 o'clock breakfast. All the meals at the camp were served at the school building under the direction of Mrs. Victor H. Daniel (wife of the principal) and her kitchen staff. After breakfast, the boys made their beds and straightened up their tents for "inspection" at 9 o'clock, when a prize was given to the best arranged tent. Scout tests and instruction classes in knot-tying, first aid, woodcraft, nature study, etc., were held until 11 o'clock and then came the big swimming and boating frolic until dinner at 12:30 o'clock. Dinner over, the boys were allowed to roam around, read, sleep, or play games until 3 o'clock when they again took to the water, always under the supervision of a camp officer. At 5:15 "Retreat" was sounded; all assembled in the quadrangle for lowering of the flag and then marched up to supper. After supper to dark, baseball and other games were indulged in, and the day closed at the camp fire, where song, joke and story sent the boy off to bed with pleasant dreams at 9:30 p. m. An attractive feature at Camp Matthews and a great stimulant to the boy was the awarding of camp letters C. M., B. S. A. and '25, for scout work and service rendered the camp. To win a C. M. 300 points were required; to possess a B. S. A. 300 more; and to wear a '25, 300 additional points. This system stirred up interest and kept the boy advancing. During the season the following boys won their C. M.: John F. Mack, Edward Leftwitch, George Morse, Emmit Morse, Wilber Greenfield, Theodoe Bowling, Joseph Matthews, Wm. Anderson, Vincent Brown. B. S. A. was awarded to Norman Bell, Alden Brown and Charles Edelin, and '25, the highest honor, was bestowed on Howard Wilkes, John Chesley and Oliver Brown. The officers were Rev. W. L. Read, chairman of camp committee; Mr. James W. Reed, camp director; Mr. Louis Caster, assistant director. Messrs. J. H. Brown, J. R. Winters, Joseph N. Harley, John Holland and James Brown showed commendable interest. TROOP RECEIVES FLAG Troop 507 of the 12th St. Y. M. C. A., of which Mr. H. K.

Here I am sending mine in in time for you to study over them and make preparations accordingly for your Hallow'een activities. A "Chamber of Horrors" is always interesting. The basement makes a very good place because it is usually large and dimly lighted. A sign on the door will key your guests up for excitement. They should be welcomed to this dwelling place of spooks by a hearty handshake from one of the inhabitants. Have one of your family dressed as a ghost and wearing wet rubber gloves. If you prefer, thrust a rubber glove filled with cold water through a slit in a curtaain. Either way gives that cold, clammy feeling associated with "spooks." Of course, no Chamber of Horrors is complete without the Headless Lady. To make her, fashion a false neck of cardboard and paint it flesh color. When fastened to someone's head and a cape drawn closely about it, you will have a very realistic lady. Have someone draw you a skeleton on cardboard, life size if possible. Paint it with phosphorus and hang in a dark corner. The phosphorus will shine, and your skeleton will probably be the cause of a good many terrifying "ahs." If the weather will permit, have a huge bonfire of leaves. While they are burning, tell, or have someone tell the story of the Irish Banshee; that strange creature of extraordinary height which walks on Hallow'een. Try to have your guests seated so that they are not facing the place where the Banshee is to appear. Have some one prompted to look around just as the story is finished. A scream will no doubt ensue as the monstrous thing is seen approaching. A big brother who can walk on stilts, makes an excellent "Banshee" when covered with sheets and his arms extended with broomsticks. In choosing partners, line the girls behind a curtain with only the toes of their shoes showing. Make the boys choose them by their shoes. Cornstalk boats make interesting place cards with the names written on the sails. To make the boats, cut a corn stalk just above and below a joint, having a joint for each end of the boat. From one side of the corn stalk, remove a strip of the stalk about one half or one inch wide. Through this remove the pith. Use a toothpick for the mast and make the sail of writing paper. Line the boats with colored tissue paper. If you like you can put a witch, ghost, or cat in each boat. The old fashioned dances will seem lots more fun if your "fiddler" is wearing overalls, polka dotted shirt and an old straw hat and stands on a barrel or box. THE LITTLE PASTRY COOK By Mrs. G. C. Hopkins Apple Sauce Cake Little cooks, the next time that your mother has apple sauce, before she sweetens it, ask her to permit you to make an apple sauce cake. Take one cup sugar; half cup lard or butter; half teaspoonful each of salt, clove, cinnamon, allspice (one tablespoonful in all); one tablespoonful saleratus; one cup sugarless apple sauce; two large cups flour; one cup raisins. Mix together sugar shortening and seasonings. Put saleratus into sauce and stir until it foams over. Put raisins into the flour and beat all together. Bake slowly about forty minutes. This cake will stay moist and fresh for a long while. Try it. Mother will appreciate your suggestion and the help you are giving. Goodbye, little cooks, until next week. LAST OF THE JOHN BROWN FREE STATERS VISITS WASHINGTON Into the Tribune office there came a gray haired, erect-standing old gentleman, all smiles and hearty greetings. This man was John A. Rastall, the last of the "John Brown Free Staters." "This old gentleman, like hundreds of other white men, fought the South in the Civil War because he truly disbelieved in slavery. After a short chat he left us, but before going he gave us a copy of "The National Tribune" (a local paper published in the interest of the veterans of all wars of the United States) in which the story of his experiences as a "Free Stater" is given at length. Mr. Rastall's story is a very long one, and an interesting one. Out of respect for him—and in honor of him and his co-patriots of the Civil War we cite here an interesting incident in which he took part when he was sixteen years old. Helps Slave to Escape "The papers were filled with details of the struggle in Kansas and its efforts to enter the Union as a Free State. The Government at Washington was in favor of slavery for Kansas and elsewhere. "The issue was distinctly 'North' and 'South.' My sympathies for the victims of slavery had been awakened by reading 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' when I was 10 years old, and again in the Glover rescue case in Milwaukee when I helped snatch a poor escaping slave from the clutches of his master and a United States Marshal by breaking into the County jail, where he had been taken from his home in or near Racine. "The crowd took the liberated slave to Walkers Point Bridge, at the south end of East Street, in a light wagon. He had no hat. Some one in the crowd yelled, 'Give ham a hat.' Instantly hundreds of hats were thrown to him by sympathizing bystanders. Safe in Canada "Soon a conveyance to take the fleeing slave on his way toward Canada was secured. Thousands of us cheered him on his way. There we were in open rebellion against the Government of the United States. The law required us to help the Marshal' and slave owner to get his 'property' back. "We had stolen that property and shipped it out of the country under the leadership of S. M. Booth, editor of the Free Democrat, a paper published in Milwaukee at that time. He had ridden up and down East Water Street upon a white horse and urged the crowd to the rescue of the slave." Mr. Rastall served for three years and seven months in the Union Army. He now makes his home at the Wisconsin Veterans' Home. Wis.

M. E. Church, on M Street, N.W., will be the scene of the opening of the finest Masonic Conclave witnessed in this city since the memorable Convention of August, 1922, when the United Supreme Council 33rd Degree, A. A. S. Rite of the Southern Jurisdiction begins its Thirteenth Triennial Session. The assemblage of Sublime Princes of the 32nd Degree and Illustrious Peers of the 33rd Degree and last degree of Masonry, is called together by the Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander, Ill. Robert L. Pendleton, 33rd, through the offices of the Secretary-General, Ill. James T. Beason, 33rd, each of whom is pictured on the accompanying page, and these two, together with the Illustrious Deputy of the Valley, William M, Edwards, 33rd, form the "big three" in Masonic circles in this City. This session of the Supreme Council will be spectacular from many angles. In the first place, the Supreme Council of the Northern Jurisdiction will be the guests of honor on this occasion, through a reciprocal arrangement after their session in New York held on May 12th to 15th this year, at which time the official of the Southern Jurisdiction were their honored guests. Then again, the session of the Northern Jurisdiction in May set a high standard of entertainment in Masonic circles, and it will be hard indeed for any jurisdiction to equal their session. The banquet alone, which was held at the famous Manhattan Casino, was attended by 700 people, and the table arrangements and decorations were worth going far to see. Many prominent persons in New York City were participants of that long-to-be-remembered feast. All the departments of Masonry will be present on Sunday night to take part in an elaborate programme as follows: 1. Processionl (Entrance of all the branches of the Masonic Order with the Grand Marshalls of each body taking care of the sequence of their formation) 2. Invocation 3. Introductory remarks by Charles H. Harris, Master of Ceremonies. 4. Chorus (Congregation) OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS' AND DAUGHTERS' SUCCESS Sandlock Trophy 5. Prayer (Ill. Rev. Joseph N.

On Monday night another elaborate programme will be staged at the Scottish Rite temple, in the form of a Memorial Service for the Illustrious Dead. This service like the Sunday night service will be open to the general public, and the program on this evening will be as follows: 1. Organ Voluntary. 2. Invocation (Ill. Rev. Joseph N. Beaman, 38rd). 3. Music (Chorus) 3. Music (Chorus) 4. Scripture Reading (Sublime Prince Rev. Frank E. Hearns, 32nd) 5. Music (Chorus) 6. Memorial Exercises of the A. A. S.

The National Hotel Managers Association, of which Joseph I. Greenlease of the Liberty Hotel, Washington, D.C. is President, has launched a publicity campaign in the interests of all of the hotels that are members of the organization. A large map of the U. S. A. with state divisions, and cities indicted that boast of Negro ho tels has been issued by the Association. The Map is on stiff card board and of a size 15 by 18 inches that makes it a desirable permanent placard for any place of public assembly. While Mr. Greenlease and those who have been interested with him in the advancement of hotel service in our group have so far only enlisted the active participation of 35 actually paid members it is known that there are in all 240 hotels operated for the convenience of the race by owners of our own. He is optimistic in his expectation that sooner or later, all of them will realize the need for united effort toward improving service and attracting the travelling public. He appreciates that the tourist and business traveller always wants to know of the stopping place before leaving their home and certainly before they reach any particular city. This enables a better direction of mail, an ease in the matter of making business and social appointments and a general sense of comfort to the guests. In an interview with the Tribune, Mr. Greenlease said "A realization that these things mean increased patronage for our hotels, a public confidence to the traveller and a reduction in the number who hesitate to take a trip to places where they have no personal friends to visit. It means the creation of a big volume of business, the cost of which will be distributed over all of the hotels. It is my purpose to make the public know that the emblem of the National Hotel Association on the stationery of a hotel means that the house is sanitary, its service is efficient, its management concerned in the guest, the place above suspicion, and that it may be trusted to make one's stay away from home as pleasant as possible." "One white hotel of national prominence states the case by saying that a hotel should be 'A home away from home' and we hope to accomplish just that. The better type of managers have been quick to see the advantages and we feel sure that the others will nearly all be in by next year when the managers get together for our discussion of matters pertinent to our business." R. F. Ware is vice president and Mrs. Mary Golden is the secretary of the Association. The Cedar—Eighty-ninth Improvement Company is the name of a new Negro enterprise that has been incorporated in the state of Ohio, with a capital of a hundred Thousand dollars.

It will be of the arcade type with a large auditorium officers of the concern are: Dr. A.C.

W., and parade through the principal streets of the two sections to St. Cyprian's Hall, 13th and C Streets, S. E., headed by the Knights of St. John Band, under the leadership of Prof. Elsie Hoffman. This will be the first public appearance of the band. There will be special features every night. Final arrangements were made by the Executive Committee of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute at St. Augustine's Church, Sunday, October 11th, for the trip to Ridge, Md., to participate in the dedication of the new dormitory to be held on Sunday, October 18th.

Stout who for twenty years has been the general secretary of the Church Extension Department of the C. M. E. Church, died in St. Louis at Barnes Hospital last Sunday at one o'clock. Dr. Stout has a long and successful record as a high churchman. He has long been prominently mentioned for the balloting in the last general conference of the C. M. E. Church. He lived at Louisville, Ky., where the headquarters of the department are locater. He served as a connecting link between the C.M.E. Church, South and through him many thousands of dollars for education and missions have come to our group.

A REAL MUSICIA Just yesterday While riding home On a jim-crow car In Virginia A Colored man With a guitar Got on the car And his sullen face And shabby clothes And unshined shoes Would make one think He had no SOUL. And before he'd gone Very far He began to pick His long guitar. The weird notes And dragging tune Made me know That he also Felt the sorrow And the humiliation Of being a NEGRO. The white folks Began to smile Until the music Reached their hearts. The smiles soon faded And then I knew That they, too, Understood. He knew NO notes. But from his SOUL And from his feelings He played HIS song. And then I thought That REAL musicians Do not copy Another's notes. But ALWAYS play The tunes that come Into THEIR minds And from THEIR souls. DON'T KNOCK By Walter E. Todd When you see the other fellow doing the best he can. Don't knock. Because you know it is a very unwise plan, Don't knock. You should go to him instead with a heart full of praise. Especially when he's starting out, be- cause it surely pays. For that word encouragement to suc- cess is one of the mainstays, Don't knock. If you should find in his work any sort of detection, Don't knock. For not one of us has reached the height of perfection, Don't knock. Trying to discourage others it is not the thing to do, But let it be to the reverse is the course to pursue, And he will accomplish his aim pro- viding if you, Don't knock. KINKY HAIR I was walking Down the street With a mulatto. When a girl, With KINKY HAIR, And unpowdered face, And neatly clad Came close by us, My companion said, "Why don't the girl With KINKY HAIR Wear a hat To HIDE that stuff!" And then I thought That most of us Are so ashamed Of a BLACK face And KINKY HAIR And a BROAD nose, And—Oh, Hell— Because we are NEGROES. Such FALSE pride Will hold us back Into the RUT Of INFERIORITY. And when MY folks FULLY realize That IN our heads— Not ON our heads— Is the KINK That we should HIDE With a hat— We'll MOVE ON. —Willie Muck: THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925 Shaking the Plum Tree Editor's Note: Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A. M. E. Zion Church, tells in the story below, of the many problems and perplexities that a Bishop must face. He gives his frank opinion on what he thinks is good and likewise, criticises what he believes to be faults. The Editor believes that this is one of the best articles on the Negro Bishop, ever written, and is thankful to Bishop Jones for his permission to publish same. NEGRO BISHOPS AND THE NEGRO CHURCH (By Bishop E. D. W. Jones) Instead of calling Tri-Councils for organic union, which seems to hang hub heavy, let us have a Council on the tendencies of Negro youth, on reclaiming our masses, on the problem of educated Negroes and the church, on racial questions, on Negro business enterprises, on crimes, on social workers in our new-made slums, on prisons, on hospitals, and on all the varied interests which modern civilization and the advancement of the Negro are forcing for an adjustment upon the church, the best and most sacred-organized institution of our racial life. All these things are under the purview of the church, not only because salvation is for all—for all conditions and stations, in every vocation, but because the church and its teachings of righteousness, justice, and truth is the ultimate pivotal climax of all the yearnings of human society toward which it is now tending. I fear we are losing our hold upon the masses. We are not gaining either with the classes. It seems as if we are losing caste among the race in general. While our churches mostly are crowded, nevertheless, more Negroes are outside of the pale and absent themselves from the influence and teaching of the Negro church than would be expected in the light of our historic religious background and our innate religious fervency. It is a dangerous state for the Negro, who has yet such a long way to go, to neglect the church, and in so doing neglect the inspiration of spiritual influences and help. The one man the whole Negro church respects is the Negro bishop. I care not to what denomination a Negro belongs, a Negro bishop looms large in his religious perspective. I make the claim for him that others make—he is the revered of every community. It is accounted for on the ground that the Negro bishop has had to lead out from the white church entirely his band of followers, and provide for them not only spiritual things, but means of growth, culture, politics, education, and livelihood. The strictly Negro church having bishops is self-supporting, independent, and solely alone. Its leaders are its bishop. They have been its undisputed leaders. Their sway has been imperial. To it there was none to dispute. Times, however, have changed. Their leadership is not only now disputed, but it has been brought under the scoring ray of severe criticism. Largely, yea entirely, the Negro bishop has himself to blame. He has shunted the fact of progress, disregarded an awakened intelligent consciousness, and refused to listen to the voice of assertive courage. He has been content simply with being an official instead of a factor, a name instead of a force. His highest claim now to honor and leadership is his authority and not his service to his race and humanity in general. The bishop has become a social recluse. He shuns contact with the actual conditions of his people and seldom meets them where their pain and suffering are severest and their anguish most plaintive. He has retired. He goes not into the ways of life nor the thorny paths of his burdened and struggling host. The battle ground of every-day engagements finds him at headquarters, while the soldiery of the masses attack the ills and miseries of their helpless state without the commanding voice and personal presence of his wise and inspired leadership. He is more the idol of the hamlet, the subject of the village chat, and the inspirer of the crossroads. His voice is not heard championing E. W. BUNDY Funeral Director 649 FLORIDA AVENUE, N.W.

North 5750 Personal Service human rights, molding thought, initiating attacks against the common foes of our advancement, but he is a silent ornament of society, rather admired for the reminder of the patriots of his class who have passed, and of the bygone days when men of his ilk were the real heroes in the strife. He has his bishopric, and that is his reward. He is suspected, publicly denounced, tongue-lashed, and searred. Men climb unhindered to fame who expose his weaknesses, lay bare his politiciel chicanery, parade his faults and errors, and attack him face to face for his mistreatment of the humble and his usurpation of authority and disregard of law. It has become popular to antagonize a bishop, and the sweet road to glory. Why? Why has the mighty fallen? Is there a tendency to discredit leadership because it is leadership, or is the leadership itself failing to lead in the direction hoped for and where expected? Have we toyed with our opportunity? Has the Negro bishop forgotten his calling and mission, or is he being crowded to the wall by an alert and zealous class who take up the burdens of forward movements because engrossed churchmen have turned their attention to material prowess? My answer is, he has either forfeited his leadership by dabbling entirely too much in things that do not belong to the altar, or he has been crowded out by a new consciousness of race championship, Jesus tells us: "Love not the world nor the things that run." The bishop issues no evangelical trumpet blasts; no thunderous canonading of the citadels of sin are heard from our forts of ease and luxury; we share but a small part in the great movements of the race for equal opportunity, franchise, and justice. No protests against segregation are vigorously made. The Prophets' rugged charges are hushed. Negro enterprises are not encouraged by a system of public propaganda. Worldwide questions of human relationship and brotherhood are not made rallying subjects of enthused public effort. We are absorbed with the success of material projects, obsessed with the idea of our authority, drunk on the wine of popular praise, and are eager to be flattered and made ridiculously pompous by the adulations of men who, through appeals to our weakness of vanity, hope to profit by undue and nauseating idolization. After reading the article, if you think the points brought out are good, the Editor would appreciate it if you would just send in a line of two voicing your feelings, likewise, if you disagree with the article and desire to voice your criticism, you are also invited to send a few lines giving your sentiments. A false, material estimate of a bishop has been forced upon the mind and thought of the day. It has been thought that the greatest and most valuable bishop to the church is that one who gives, the largest promise of securing material advantages, regardless of all else he neglects. In fact, our emphasis on a man's service and worth has been placed on his ability to "get" rather than to "do." It is well for us to remember that because bishops have lifetime tenure of office, they have not lifetime license: We cannot do as we please. We are still subject to law, obligated to the equals from whose rank and by whose suffrage we were elevated. Office do not make us supermen, nor give us unbridled privileges, but we are limited in the expression of our self wills, 'both by the pregnancy of the law we vowed to keep, and by the high consciousness of the duty we owe God, the cause, and our fellows. Outside of the law there are no bishops. The very form of government which gives us the Episcopacy also defines the bounds and limitations of our activities. While we are men of authority, we are still under authority. (Continued next week) GRANDMOTHER, MORE THAN A HUNDRED, DANCES ON BIRTHDAY New York; N. Y., Oct. 15.

Washington Tuberculosis Association Discusses Prevalence of Discase Among Negroes Here Among Negroes here The Washington Tuberculosis association met October 5 and many problems in connection with tuberculosis among the population of the District of Columbia were discussed. There has been a constant declining death rate for both races from 1900 to 1924. While the period from 1915 to 1920 was one of rapid decline of death rate for the colored population, but the period from 1920 to July 1, 1925 has shown no decline in the colored death rate from tuberculosis. The period shows: Colored (1920)—225; (1925) 238 White (1920), 71; (1925), 50 White (1920) 71; (1925) 50 There is a wide discrepancy in the relative racial death rate from tuberculosis for different age periods of white and colored children. The greatest number of deaths occurred between the ages of 10 and 19. In 1924 the white death rate in this period feel to 1.3 persons per 100,000 of population to a colored death rate within the same period of 31.3, which is twenty times higher. More medical inspection is urged for the colored schools for at present there are only three colored medical inspectors and See Nokol at work To understand the simplicity, efficiency, cleanliness, comfort and convenience of Nokol Automatic Oil Heating for Homes it is only necessary for you to see Nokol at work.

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 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. Such friendship is exemplified by Funeral Director The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Incorporated 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 F.

The Commissioners of the District have agreed that three important measures must be submitted to the next Congress, one of which is of imperative necessity. For many, many years this city has felt the need of a well organized welfare service. There are several organizations engaged in charitable work, but their best is not sufficient to the needs of the city. So much of their work has been duplicated that many deserving cases have gone lacking. Therefore, the District authorities will endeavor to have passed the public welfare bill which, after passing the House, has been "pigeon-holed" in the Senate. This welfare bill would do away with the Board of Charities, the National Training School for Girls, the Children's Guardians and the Reform School for Girls. It would create a board of public welfare service under which all existing organizations engaged in charitable work would function and thus eliminate the duplication of activities in these bodies. Second in importance is the operation of the get-rich-quick enterprises. Every progressive community has legislated against stock frauds, and it is hoped that Congress can be influenced to do likewise here. Especially does our group need protection along this line. Fakirs never fail to visit Negro homes and business places when they have a new scheme to make a million. And the lower element are not alone the victims; both professional and business members of the race are caught in the snare. This so-called blue-ky bill is, indeed, worthy of being passed. We can not hope to stop the operation of the fakirs over night, but we should make it less easy for them to operate. Crimes and the violation of laws have always held out a more alluring profit than things legitimate, and we must, therefore, expect to repeal, rewrite and add new legislation to hold in check illegitimate operations. Not can we overlook the third important measure—that of gun-toting. It can not be denied that the gun-toter is a murderer within his heart. The evils attendant to this practice can be greatly lessened by making the carrying of pistols or revolvers illegal, except under license and regulations of the most drastic character, applicable to white and black citizens alike. And we shall expect no favoritism to be shown in the issuance of these licenses nor in the enforcement of the regulations. Law and order can not be measured in terms of color if we expect tranquillity. Second in importance is the operation of the get-rich-quick enterprises.

And we shall expect no favoritism to be shown in the issuance of these licenses nor in the enforcement of the regulations. Law and order can not be measured in terms of color if we expect tranquillity. We do not decry the value of James Weldon Johnson's recently published volume, "The Book of American Negro Spirituals," but we do detest the idea of all our authors, poets and artists seeking first and only the white man's praise. Of course we realize that such praise has a telling effect on the race as a whole in many respects, but we feel that a better and more lasting service may be had by calling forth praise from the group immediately affected. Sinclair Lewis, Heywood Brown and Clement Wood can add nothing to the real merit of "The Book of American Negro Spirituals;" they can but sing praise and add the white man's interpretation. Its real merit can only be enhanced by those who did and do feel the excruciating pains of the conditions which gave birth to these spirituals. You, no doubt, have a friend or an acquaintance who had $10,000 or more left him or her in a will or otherwise. You know that the gift came at a time when your friend or acquaintance was apparently hard pressed. But you do not and can not know the recipient's feeling unless you likewise have received such under similar conditions. And so the white man cannot really know and appreciate those conditions which gave rise to Negro Spirituals. We shall, therefore, expect our authors, poets and artists, when they send out their press releases of praise for work treating or concerning issues and things vital to the race, to be sure Sinclair Lewis, Heywood Brown and Clement Wood can add nothing to the real merit of "The Book of American Negro Spirituals;" they can but sing praise and add the white man's interpretation.

Several afternoon concerts were given by radio in some of the larger cities. The closing concert of the tour was given in Southampton, England to most enthusiastic audiences. The quartet sang in a hall but a short distance from the old Pilgrim church. The singers took a boat for France where they spent a week visiting before returning to America. The Personnel of the quartet is as follows: Mr. Lowell Peters, first tenor, from Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. Beady Mann, second tenor, from Curryville, Ga.; Mr. Nevell Fitzpatrick, baritone, from Somerset, Ky.; Mr. Andrew Paul, bass from Knoxville, Tenn. The quartet will spend the winter giving concerts in Northern and Eastern states. The College is planning a tour for them through Southern States during April and May. It is probable that they will make a tour o the Pacific Coast next summer. PAGE EQUB DISTRICT LEGISLATION THE WHITE STANDARD College Quartette Returns From European Tour The Knoxville College Male Quartette spent the latter part of the summer in the British Isles. They left New York July 25, and returned September 10. During the time they were abroad they gave a concert almost every evening. While they visited all of the British Isles, their greatest work was done in Scotland, in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh. The quartet was enthusiastically received by the Britishers. At all the concerts the applause was exceedingly generous. Despite the fact that they were in a country at a time of year when there are few concerts or lectures, the quartet was able to draw some large crowds. In the city of Edinburgh, one of the intellectual cen- that these carry with them the opinions of the best minds of the race. And to do this Negro editors or journalists must be presented with copies so that intelligent reviews may be made for their readers. The majority of Negro editors are well educated, widely read and possessed of a fluent and correct literary style; men and women who keep abreast of current publications. It would afford them an excellent opportunity to reflect the Negro mental reactions to the author's work. And it would also be of service to our college men and women or to any other person who has long been an habitual reader. These reviews from members of the race would assist the cherished white critic in crystallizing his thought and enable the world to more thoroughly know the Negro. SECRETARY WEEKS RESIGNS Ill health is given as the reason for the resignation of Secretary of War, Weeks. Mr. Weeks has been failing in health since last spring. When he took office in 1921, he was faced with the task of carrying through the demobilization of the military establishment, clearing up the mass of surplus war materials, settling contractor's claims and restoring the army to its normal efficiency. This was, indeed, a task which would place under strain the strongest physical being. His administration was colorless and uneventful. He reflected the opinion of the army rather than that of Congress. The sweeping reductions in appropriations and army strength were made without his approval, and it is illogical to think that he would have agreed with President Coolidge in calling or further cutting of military expenditures. He was not what was to be expected of a Cabinet officer of the late President Harding's choice. His successor, Dwight F. Davis, has on occasion shown sound judgment and energy. Let's hope that he will show unusual capacity for the work to be done. We shall expect him to lend his influence to erase the blot of segregation and discrimination in his department. We shall expect him to make labor battalions out of units other than those of Negro regulars, and discontinue this stigmatizing practice toward the famous 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 24th and 25th Infantry, troops whose historic valor deserve better of the nation that they serve. We shall expect him to see to it that applicants for the Military Academy are accepted upon their merits and not because of color. If these and better things he does, Americans, generations to come, will sing praise to his name. The student body of Howard University was well represented at the Gayetey last week. Keep it up, Howardites. Sow the seed and cultivate the plant segregation if you want it to grow and bear such fruit as Jim crow street cars, segregated this and discriminatory that. One may forgive the type of Negro who has been reared in the alley, whose employment and entire environment has been that of servility, for seeking amusement presented in a manner that conforms to his every other experience; but how may we reconcile the acceptance of segregation for mere amusement by students and professionals with the presumed culture of Howard students. There is something radically wrong with the quality of those who are being educated to be the leaders of our Race. Organizations and co-ordination are worth their weight in gold. Despite the strength, actual and potential, of the Caucasians' banking system, their bankers saw fit to assemble in Atlantic City last week in the hope of effecting a better organization and more co-ordination. Shall we sit here asleep while our brothers go to war? Patriotism is a prime factor in the life of America. Historians sometime lie to inculcate it, and soldiers often die to show it. In the cherry tree story, Washington could not tell a lie; during the civil strife, divine guidance caused Lincoln to free the slaves. The Southern white man is a propagandist; the Northern white man, a conformist. Migration of the Southerner to the North has created race friction by the hookum, "white superiority." This age would rewrite the TEN COMMANDMENTS into ONE so as to read—DO ANYTHING YOU'RE BIG ENOUGH TO DO, BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT. Crimes committed by Negroes have commercial value for—THE WHITE PRESS. Equal Rights League Closes Baltimore Convention Baltimore, Md., October 10, 1925—Inauguration of a nation-wide "Declaration of Independence 150th Anniversary Race Drive for Equal Rights" in which the race is asked to join by organized units working for enjoyment of the principles of the Declaration before the Sesqui-Centennial arrives July 4, 1925, was perhaps the outstanding concrete result of the 18th annual meeting of National Equal Rights League which closed here after mid-night last night. Memorial to President A strong memorial to be presented directly to President Coolidge at the White House was drafted by a Committee of which James Neill of Washington was chairman. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1925 Well now, we pencil pushers are going to be surveyed and our respective abilities passed upon by the publishers of OPPORTUNITY magazine. We are "going to be brought to the attention of the world" according to a news story released by the Associated Negro Press. We are to get prizes if we are good. If not, of course those of us who have been good enough to earn a competence in our chosen field of labor will be permitted to continue so doing; or to die broken hearted just as we may happen to be impressed with the seriousness of this approval or disapproval. Inasmuch as most of us write for the reader approval of a Negro public who pays for our service in circulation and advertising, a mighty practical support, we presume that we are to be judged by Negroes who know Journalism. Yet, we wonder, from the auspices who have appointed themselves to determine of our fitness if it is not altogether likely that we shall be subjected to the judgment of the white friends of the sponsors who take an occasional fling at studying the Negro and his work as folks do some other hobbies. There are a lot of those people in contact with our philanthropy supported surveyors. Then too, the poor Editors are not permitted to make a voluntary entry as happens in most contests. They simply must be surveyed, whether or not, for the professional surveyors must maintain the fiction of keeping busy or they might have to get a regular job and earn a living, even as do my readers and I. Poor Marcus Garvey. Everybody seems to be taking a kick at him. Recently there have been ominous rumblings of mutiny in the camp of his followers; and now along comes a chief, one Kofi Amoah III, of Cape Coast, Africa, who declares that "Garvey's scheme of redeeming Africa is visionary and his conception wrong." He continued in a credited interview with a New York World man by stating that "The American Negro first must improve his own economic condition, then maybe he can help Africa"—and somebody said Africans were uncivilized. That doesn't sound like the talk of a dummy. Not by a long shot. The same paper, last Sunday's issue had a feature story that started off as follows: "The American teacher of history must be prepared to lie for his country as the soldier must die for it." We read no farther. That was enough. We know that teachers and writers of American history have been doing just that since the dawn of our national history. Otherwise we might find a reference to Peter Salem, Crispus Attucks, the Negroes who helped to build and fight the Admiral Perry fleet on Lake Erie; the Black heroes of New Orleans; of the Spanish American regulars and volunteers. Our divisions and battalions of world war soldiers and the many inventors and philosophers who helped make national history would have been mentioned. A lie by omission is just a damnable as one of commission. Yes, that teacher is right. Nettie George Speedy was in town last week. She is the woman writer on the staff of the Chicago Tribune whom most of the readers of that paper long to meet. She seems so humane, so altogether interested in each and every story that she writes that one just feels certain that she is an interesting person to know. She is. That is, if one can catch her when not already interested in the work she has at hand at the time, and that is a rare chance, for that woman typifies the journalistic profession. Work, getting material and putting it into shape, is her vocation and her avocation, too. That's why so few of us caught a glimpse of the colored woman whose name ranks well up on the list when the better newspaper women of the land are being mentioned.

Otherwise we might find a reference to Peter Salem, Crispus Attucks, the Negroes who helped to build and fight the Admiral Perry fleet on Lake Erie; the Black heroes of New Orleans; of the Spanish American regulars and volunteers. Our divisions and battalions of world war soldiers and the many inventors and philosophers who helped make national history would have been mentioned. A lie by omission is just a damnable as one of commission. Yes, that teacher is right. Nettie George Speedy was in town last week. She is the woman writer on the staff of the Chicago Tribune whom most of the readers of that paper long to meet. She seems so humane, so altogether interested in each and every story that she writes that one just feels certain that she is an interesting person to know. She is, That is, if one can catch her when not already interested in the work she has at hand at the time, and that is a rare chance, for that woman typifies the journalistic profession. Work, getting material and putting it into shape, is her vocation and her avocation, too. That's why so few of us caught a glimpse of the colored woman whose name ranks well up on the list when the better newspaper women of the land are being mentioned. She was in Washington to attend the Inter-parliamentary Congress. She met the president while here, talked with many visitors from strange lands, and did her work. For so doing, and eschewing the many social opportunities that were submitted, she landed some great copy for her paper. Just learned that New York stage directors are complaining about the extent of ignorance in the art of "make-up" that prevails with chorus girls. The directors say that they just don't know everything after all. They could save valuable time for themselves and get better shows if they would just ship the girls to Washington, scatter them along U Street, Northwest, during the rush hour of children and teachers to the public schools. They would obtain a complete education on the art of make-up from the best taste to the very worst sort of applications on any school morning. Selah! My People and Other Folks Race Program A united race program for redress of wrongs, redrafted from last year's race convention by Wm. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, was adopted. A resolution, also, was adopted, in which the League condemned the administration of President Durkee of Howard University. Officers elected were: president, Dr Wm. Sinclair, Penn.; first vice-president, Rev J. G. Robinson, Penn.; vice-president at large, Rev B. W. Swain, Mass.; corresponding secretary, Wm Monroe Trotter, Mass.; national organizer, Rev Thos. S. Haren, N.Y.; recording secretary, James L. Neil D. of C.; chaplain, Rev Luke C. Reynolds, Md.; sergeant-at-arms, G. W Allen, N.Y.; first assistant organizer, Rev L. C.

The Sales-person IF YOU WOULD SELL: ADVERTISE We have heard it said that certain things sell themselves. This statement is at variance with the facts. The very things about which this is said are usually the most extensively advertised. There are very few if any of the big-selling articles that have been sold without being advertised, and largely so—and the more that is sold of these articles—the more advertising is done. Ivory soap, Crisco, the Buick automobile, Gold Medal Flour, Valspar Varnish, Gold Dust Twins soap powder, E. & W. Collars, Wrigley chewing gum, American Radiator boilers, Mazda electric bulbs, and a host of other things are all extensively advertised articles. The purpose in advertising is to familiarize the public more and more with your article. The manufacturers know that the more the public knows about their articles or products the more they will buy. The day is past when men hunt the things they need. If this were not true many advertising mediums would be compelled to go out of business, for very little advertising would be done. Strange as it may seem the more important a particular thing may be to human progress, the more necessary it is to announce through a trumpet the benefits to be derived through its use. More bigness does not assure success. If that were true Henry Ford would simply manufacture automobiles and stop there; but he advertises, and therefore what he manufactures is known and used in all parts of the world. Men in the past may have worn a path to the house of the man in the woods who invented a mouse trap, but that day has long since gone by. He who would sell his wares in large quantity must perforce advertise. Modern industry, education and competition have all made this imperative The Master realized the value of advertising and set about at once securing representatives to teach the doctrines of the Christian religion Whatever may be said concerning it, no one can doubt that its theory has touched all parts of the earth. A salesman should not light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all the house." Editor's Note:— Editor's Note. The above is contributed by William Stevenson, District manager of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, an Ohio concern owned by the race and doing business in four states and the Distriot of Columbia. Mr. Stevenson is sincere in the belief that the most capable salesman must have his work supplemented by the self-sold interest of his prospect that comes from the education that originates in advertising and publicity. DON'T READ THIS Man wakes up in the morning after sleeping under an advertised mattress; takes off advertised pajamas; takes a shower in an advertised tub; shaves with an advertised razor; washes with advertised soap; powders his face with an advertised powder; jons advertised underwear, hose, shirt, collar, shoes, suit, handkerchief; sits down to breakfast to an advertised cereal, drinks advertised coffee; puts on an advertised hat; lights an advertised eigar; rides to his office in an advertised car on advertised tires, where he refuses to advertise on the grounds that advertising doesn't pay. —Balto Afro Seeks Divorce On Statutory Grounds Infidelity and desertion by the husband are charged in a suit for an absolute divorce filed last week in the District Supreme Court in behalf of Louisa L. Wright, a minor, of 903 Florida Avenue, Northwest, by her mother, Mary J. Lewis, against Wallace Wright. Dorothy Creighton, another minor, is named as co-respondent. It is charged in the bill of complaint that Wright committed adultery with the co-respondent at divers times and places in the month of June, 1924, and later, and as a result a child, Inez Dorothy Wright, was born to the co-respondent on May 23, 1925. Six months after their marriage, it is claimed, Wright deserted his youthful wife while she was in a delicate condition and in destitute circumstances, and she was forced to return to the home of her mother. They were married in the District of Columbia on December 27, 1922, by the Rev. James H. Randolph. It is claimed that the license was obtained by a false representation of her age as being 18 years when in fact she was but 16 years of age. A child, Elwood Wright, was born on November 15, 1923. The suit was filed through Attorneys Houston and Houston. THE MASSAGE OPENING The newly enrolled students at The Washington School of Massage and Physiotherapy enjoyed the brilliant opening of that institution at 1914 7th Street, Northwest. This is the first Massage School ever opened in the District of Columbia, and our group are enjoying the full benefits of this institution. It is not a branch of a white school. Segregation is an utter stranger to the promoters of this institution. It has among its in structors graduate of various schools Swedish Massage is being taught which is new to our group in any part of the world. This not only will enable our people to perfect themselves in a narticular branch of BY WELLINGTON ADAMS Terse Comment The world changest fast. The future theatre orchestra must be able to play both the modern and established types of music. The performers must not only be accompanists, they must also double as a legitimate string and wind orchestra as well as a jazz band. Every member must be a capable solo performer. That's the newest type of orchestra. Not all American that's worth while. Coming from desiplied Russia, Viadimir Nemirovitch-Dantchenko, co-founder of the Moscow Art Theatre Musical Studio opening an American engagement for the first time on December 14th. The company includes 105 people with its own staff in entirety. We could list their repertoire but what's the use, you couldn't pronounce the words. It's Rusisan all through, such art as shall confound and surpass American artistry will dazzle the imagination of critic and patron alike. It's a big world and all art is not in America maybe. God stuck out His hand through space and lifted the mystic veil from the ether that wraps round the earth and man heard music and human voices in the air and thus we have the radio. It brings to our door the world's best music and education where once only the rich could afford. As stated recently we may hear great artists every Sunday evening in our homes without cost and now again beginning October 27th, another great series of world-famous artists in concerts and recitals will be inaugurated, dedicated to the cause of greater music appreciation in the United States, Hofman, Damrosch, Schumann-Heink Mengelberg and others will be on the air in full recital form for the first time and you must hear them by all means.

The Dean is Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education of public schools. This is but one of the several institutions established in recent years where colored people may not be subjected to conditions and humiliated in a manner unbecoming any real American. Our reporter was assured that the graduates will be fully equipped to meet the requirements of the licentiate in any of the states or territories. The masseur and masseuse of late years have become needed members of society and there is no reason why colored people should not measure up in this category. We wish the promoters of The Washington School of Massage and Physiotherapy success in this worthy project.

The prediction is freely made it Eborine circles in New York that it “Signing to mect Harry Wills in wwy-weight championship battle ir "the West next September, Jack Demp “sey is only stalling. Hype Igoe, New York World box “ing expert, recalls that there are cer. ‘tain agreements between Dempsey ‘and Kearns and. between Kearns and “Tex. Richard. He is of the opinior that these agreements constitute suf. ficient ground for court action to en- Goin the Michigan City bout. He Predicts that such court action will instituted and that Dempsey will throw up his hands in mock despair; assert that he has tried to fight Wills But that the courts will not let him, and then settle down another three ‘years’ occupancy of the title. In New York, Says Tex “If Dempsey fights Harry Wills it will be right here in New York and ‘Tex Richard will be the “promoter. ‘There isn’t one chance in a million that Floyd Fitzsimmons can hold it in Michigan City, Benton Harbor or anywhere else.” That was the emphatic statement made by Kearns. William Muldoon, a member of the Boxing Commission, seems to believe that the signing of articles between the fighters has. made an ulti- mate meeting of the pair more im- Probable than ever, He thinks tha mpsey and Wills haye made a grave mistake and that before they are ‘through they will have frustrated ‘their own best interests and, in addi- tion to-that, will have done great damage to the sport of professional pugilism. ‘Muldon thinks that the action of the Governor of Indiana in refusing to allow Dempsey and Wills to meet in his state will be followed by the Governor of other states, and that in the end a nation-wide taboo will be placed on the match. Incidentally this same view of the situation is held by many local fans and close follow- ers of the game. Kearns Recognized in Gotham Kearns said that he had been as- sured by his attorneys that Dempsey would be compelled to pay him his percentage for the Wills fight, even though the contest should be held af- ter his contract with the champion expires, which will be early in Sep- “tember, 1926. “My' contract with Dempsey gives me complete authority and even the power of attorney,” said Kearns. “Ii binds him hand and foot, He has said that he wanted the Wills match put off until September in order t give our contract time to expire.

The afternoon was cold. A piere- ing northwest wind added to the dis- comforture of the small crowd of fans who braved the first winter weather to wateh the game from the side- lines. __,_ Livingstone Kicks Off Livingstone kicked off. From their 35-yard line the Howard eleven began a steady march down. the field by 2 series of line plunges which brought them to Livingstone’s 10-yard line. There they failed to make the needed “ten-in-four” and the ball went over. A Livingstone back broke through the Howard defense for a 12-yard run, The North Carolinians hit the Tine, but failed to gain. They at- ‘tempted a forward pass, and the ball was intercepted on Livingstone’s 35- yard line. “Evidently the generalship of Me- Lain did not please Coach Watson. He substituted Jack Coles to direct the plays. From then on the game centered around three players—Dan Brown, “Red” Tyson and Jack Coles. Brown ploughed his way through the Livingstone line for the first How- ard touchdown. Coles kicked for the extra point, Repetition The remainder of the game with the exception of the third quarter in which Howard failed to score, is but a repetition of the story of the first quarter. In the second quarter after Liv- ingstone was forced to kick, Dan Brown went through the North’ Caro- linians’ line for 25-yards, scoring the [second touchdown of the game, Coles again kicked for the extra point.

Particularly is this true in football, which is an academic game. When the officiating is good, the game moves smoothly and swiftly. On the other hand, when it is bad, the players get in an ill-humor, there is wrangling and a tendency on the part of spectators toward rowdyism. In the Howard games this season the officiating has been exceptionally good. There has been no dispute as to the interpretation or the applica- tion of the rules. Consequently, the games have been played cleanly’ and no time has been lost in squabbles. For the manner in which—these games have been run the fans are indebted to E. B. Henderson (Har- vard), referee; Haley G. Douglass (Harvard), umpire, and Benny Wash- St. Paul and Shaw Battle To 0-0 Tie Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 15.—The Tiger-Bear serap Saturday will be a happy reminiscence to the St. Paul and Shaw followers who saw two of the leading teams of the C. I. A: A. and two of the greatest football rivals battle desperately only to find them- selyse in a 0-0 deadlock when the final whistle brought to a close a game that was featured by tense moments. The game was the first upset of the season. Sports editors had pre- dicted that Shaw was at least two touchdowns better than St. Paul, and even those on the “insfde” had an ink- ling that Shaw would conquer by a field goal. But, all the “dope” ex- ploded. The team that Douglas sent on Russell Field looked like the wonder team of yore. The Tigers displayed a brand of football that was difficult for the Bears. to diagnose, and the maneuvers of the former were indica- tive of a knowledge of the fundamen- tals of the game. When Shaw threatened in the third and fourth periods, Douglas’ machine put up a defense that apparently only super- Joon could hope to avereome. John Ol- iver, |. Brinkley, ell, Baker, }Capiain Boykins cad Willems cone {posed St. Paul’s line. These charg- ing forwards smashed many of Shaw's plays. Charlie Hall, St. Paul's di minutive quarterback, directed the team in.the first, second and final per- iods of the game. This was his first big game, but he made good. The work of Smith, Hudson, Robinson, Pierce and Seriber was of the first order. Shaw, came to St. Paul 28 strong, and bent on crushing the Virginia bunch.

He will also referee in the Howard-North Carolina State game on October 31, the West Virginia Col- legiate-Lincoln game on November 7, and the Howard-Atlanta game on November 13. He has also been chosen to umpire in the Virginia Normal-Union game on November 14. That’s a tough schedule, even for an official, and surely shows that his ser- vices are in general demand.

Virginia Seminary Wins from Hampton Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 13—Virginia Seminary was victorious over the Hampton eleven Saturday afternoon when a placement kick by Brown hia the struggle by a score of 3 to With hardly a minute to play, Hampton kicked out of hostile ter ritory. Whedbee, Seminary quarter- bach and captain, made a fair catch. The Theologs then tried a_place- ment kick, which resulted in the only score of the game. Fumbling proved costly to both elevens. Hampton threatened or several occasions but failed as often Lee, Baker and Pindle, were the outstanding® players for the Sea. siders. Morris Brown Loses To Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct .13— In its first game, played in the Alumni Athletic Bowl, here Saturday, Rear ae Marae Morris-Brown kicked off to Tus- kegee, and Steward returned the kick. Morris-Brown sent the ball back to Tuskegee’s fifty-yard line, Steward gained through the line, Whitlow was thrown for a loss of five yards. Tus- kegee kicked. Barnes hit the line for agian. Clark follows for gain. Ed- ward’s pass to Clark was successful for twelve yards. Edward’s completed a pass to Clark who ran for a touch- down but lost the ball after crossing the line, Duncan recovering, Tuskegee registered its first touch- down after the. ball had been placed on the visitors’ eight-yard line. Stew- ard found a hole and went. through for Tuskegee’s first score. Stevensor kicked goal. Two more points were added to the Cirmson column when « purple player received the ball behind his goal and made no, effort to run or kick out. Steward again added_ sis points by circling the visitors’ right end for twenty. yards and Stevensor added the extra point by a kick from Placement. A pass by the visitors t Bailey who ran thitty yards for 1 touchdown, counted for naught on ac- count of holding by a Tuskegee play. er. The final scoring for Tuskeges was a well directed place kick by Stevenson from the twenty-five yar ine. safety completed by Ruffin, Tobin and Houston, makes the story of Union’s first triumph over the Tarheelers read like'a fairy tale, Coach Harvey's newly-welded Pan- ther “machine” worked smoothly and flashed brilliantly at times, with the famous backs, Boffman and Shields making consistent gains, W. A. Smith bucking the line for yardage, Wash- ington punting well, and Ruffin, Rid- ley, Tobin, star center and Anderson were outstanding at line play. On Coach Byron’s eleven, Coleman punted hard and ran well; Lane was the next best threat, Bell ran his team well and Wilson was good at offensive play. Union made twice “as” many “first and tens” as A. & T. Several times while in striking distance, the Pan- thers were stopped. A. & T's cross- buck play through the line was their best gainer. ‘The first quarter was featured by Coleman's 7-yard, and Shields 45-yard dash around right end, and hard line fighting on both sides. Boffman wiggled through A’s line first for 4, then 11 and then 9 yards, in the 2nd quarter, then Washington gained 4 yards, ' Union’s linemen threw A. & T. player, who received his teammate’s punt on their S-yard Tine, back across the goal line for a enfety.

He denied that he ever struck or ordered her from his home. He says that she conducted herself in such an unladylike manner and used such vile and abusive language that it became unbearable to his folks and she was advised that unless she ceased this mode of conduct she would have to leave the house and s bequently she left of her own accord. His mother told her at the time, he says, that she would gladly take and rear the baby.

The Dixie Kids and their dogs make the other novelty. The Silas Green quartette, Kike and Marion Gresham, Ford Wigins, J. C. Davis, M. Penny Coswell, J.

The show which is an institution in the south is welcomed everywhere and its people enjoy an unusual social status in many cities and towns. They travel in a 79 foot pullman car in which the show both eats and sleeps. So good is the treatment accorded performers that Charles Collier, the owner has made himself the standard by which tended attraction managements are measured by performers. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE On Reviewing a Show The path of the show receiver has ever been a hard one. That person has always been the target for both those of the audience who disagree with him; and the artists whose work is not enthusiastically approved. These disagreements are expected when one embarks upon the job, therefore they are not a surprise. The surprising part of some of these disagreements, or cross criticism, is the lack of reasoning that prompts them, and the lack of knowledge of the subject. To begin with, the newspaper reviewer of shows does not reflect in his report upon a show any opinions of his own. He simply reports the reactions of the audience that paid good money for the privilege of seeing a performance, a privilege which carries with it the right to express an opinion on is merits. The spontaneous opinion that one gives vent to on the dot are the most sincere. Conscious, unconscious or subconsciously one gives forth in tears, laughter, hand-claps, hisses, or a silence born of bated breadth together with minor variations of these, the opinion that each detail of a show calls for. There are many degrees and combinations of these reactions. And, there are counterfeits, oftimes cleverly put over, usually however easily detected as is the operatic Claue. The function of the reviewer or critic rests in interpreting to his readers these reactions of a particular audience. As audiences often vary in mental types, one practice is always to mention the date and time of performance, and the theatre. If the show goes well the reporting is comparatively easy. If, on the other hand, the patrons, expressions are unfavorable, it is incumbent upon the critic to make known as nearly as he can the causes that make for disapproval. To do this one must have a complete knowledge of the amusement business, for in any analysis one must give consideration to the problems of those who are being criticized. There are often mitigating circumstances in connection with shows, as with any other of our activities of life. One must be cognizant, too, of the many styles of show that are offered so as to avoid comparisons that are illogical. Like must be compared with like. Many are prone to let their liking for one style of show prejudice them against another. That is obviously unfair. It is equally unfair to substitute ones own preferences for the expressed opinion of the aggregate audience. Few persons realize how many different types of shows there are. There are Concert, Grand Opera, Light Opera, Operetta, Comic Opera. Likewise there are Presentations and Vaudeville. In the latter group we find, singles, doubles, trios, quartettes, novelty acts, still acts, dumb acts, animal acts, number acts, flash acts and sketches. Then in organized shows we find musical comedy, revues, floor shows, tabloids, dramas, comedy dramas, comedies with music, melodramas, serio comics, tragedies, spectacles. In the motoin picture line we find, program pictures, feature films, news reels, educational reels, strip comics comedy films and perhaps others that don't come to my mind, for the writer is not so fully informed as to films as upon other phases of entertainment matters. The show critic, or the critic of critics, must therefore keep constantly in mind whether a show is good or bad of its type, leaving aside for the moment any consideration of any other sort of show, or of any influence on one's thought as to the educational, moral or other effect. These may be mentioned or not, in the general summary made at the opening or close of the story but if mentioned the fact that they represent personal opinion must be made clear. One must also exercise care not to expect the quantity and quality in a show whose orchestra seat price is fifty or seventy-five cents that we find in a two dollar show—show production take money, and talent commands high salaries. Keep the mind open, be amenable to reason, and know your subject and anyone can be a reviewer. It's no trick. This writer tells just what he sees and hears at Monday shows. Remember too, that the performer's daily bread depends upon the public approval of his work. It's a serious thing to lightly trifle with the source of anyone's living. Oftimes casual or flippant comment in extravagant language has borne a disastrous result to a deserving artist with a family dependant upon his earnings. One hesitates to assume such a responsibility without justification. This is what keeps a reviewer from over lauding or under praising a show. tra Department, Mr. Skidmore, formerly of the Skidmore Music Publishing Co., and writer of "PRAY FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT" has recently written two new numbers, namely: "THEM HAS BEEN BLUES" and "HOLDER DEACON," published by this firm.

SECOND SECTION The Washington Tribune SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925 KSON'S THEATRICA f Theaters, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied An News of Theaters, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements The Deacons Word has just come to the National secretary that Senior Deacon, Thornton S. Johnson of Corner No. 3, Oakland, Cal., was booked to "Play Paradise" on September 11. The battered hats will all come off in silent tribute to a worthy Deacon who was a pioneer in the far West. He was a Mason of every degree and the last rites were in keeping with his life and status in the community. National Director, Sandy W. Trice of Chicago, has been named chairman of the transportation committee for the Imperial Council of the A. E. A. Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Now we know the Decaons will be in Boston, for Trice knows all about transportation, a fact that is much confirmed by the number of letters of approval that railway executives have sent to him in congratulation of the appointment. He is, besides being a Mason of every degree, and one of our directors, president of the Red Caps Literary Club of Chicago and chief of the Red Caps at the I. C. Station in Chicago. Besides that he is the pioneer Negro department store owner, a bank director and a man interested in many of the business ventures of that city and Idlewil, Mich. With all that, he is just "Sandy" and he knows the regular alphabet and can talk the travellers language with fluency. Kike Gresham, on the Silas Green show advises us that with the making of J. R. Jackson and J. Hudson in Memphis, the show has five Deacons. Altogether there are ten Masons on the roster, and Kike is hoping that he and Senior Coy Herndon will soon have a "flock" organized. Deacons Boker, Guy and Carter helped the boys over. None of last year's flock have reported this season. Boys, get your travelling group organized and see the local Masters on problems now and then. The National office has paved the way for that thing so it won't be so rugged any more for the show-folks. Gee Boys; Get this! Imperial Postentate Caesar R. Blake, Jr., of the Shriners who is one of our National Directors announces a nine pound boy, answering to the name of Caesar, 3rd, in his family at Charlotte, N.C.

The piece is likely to prove a metropolitan success, if we are to judge from the Utica, N. Y. critisme. The following is from the Utica, N. Y. Daily Press of September 29th: “A black bellboy in a San Francisco hotel dreamed a great dream, not many months ago. It was that he would write a play. Monday night in Colonial Theatre that dream came true. “‘Appearances’, a three-act play by Garland Anderson, is the realization of one whose philosophy is faith in the eternal God. “The race question is considered, and many matters readjusted before the final curtain falls. Sagar Presenting Play SAGA PRESENTING PLAY "Lester W. Sagar is presenting the play, which has been staged under direction of John Hayden. The first and third acts are placed in the lobby of Hotel Shasta, San Francisco. Fresh walls, tasteful decorations, soft lights and suggested exists are effectively done. The second act takes place in a court room. "The first act seems a bit wordy at times. The second is powerfully done and holds attention practically every second. The third has a novel ending as well as an effective solution for many problems. "There are three colored players who qualify as first class entertainers. "Carl," the bellboy, as Lionel Monagas pictures him, is a serious, thoughtful chap who wins through great tribulation to success in his chosen field. Doc Doe Green "Rufus" to the delight of everybody, and in the courtroom, handles his scene with a combination of comedy and craftsmanship that is admirable. Evelyn Mason, as "Ella," is a likeable young lady, who will undoubtedly become a famed actress. "Robert Toms, Hazel, Burgess Frank Hatch and the others are white persons. "That the play got across on its opening night in Utica was evidenced by curtain calls after every act. "While there will undoubtedly be a few changes in dialogue and construction, the play is an acceptable vehicle for the message which Mr. Anderson wishes to convey." Three Real Showmen Who are Real Men MANAGE A COLORED SHOW Constantly fighting prejudice and fostering democracy. They fight in terms of cash and practice what they preach. When Cook and Smith-Howard and Brown wrote and produced "Seven-Eleven," they cast about for some one to handle the attraction who had show knowledge, was "in the know" of GOLDBERG BROTHERS BERT and LOUIS GOLDBERG Two of three brothers who direct the business destinies of "Seven-Eleven," a colored show owned jointly by their Brother Jack Goldberg and the Negro stars of the show. The company plays over the Columbia Burlesque Circuit under direction of Hurtig and Seamon, the pioneer promoters of Negro attractions who made the fame of Williams and Walker. things theatrical and would be in harmony with their ambitions. They found that combination in Jack Goldberg, a man who had experienced almost every known theatrical activity with more or less success, up to having once been the general booking manager of the great Loew cricuit. Prior to this he had placed, "Put and Take," the largest Negro attraction to have appeared on Broadway in the exclusive Town Hall. In all that career he had been known to have a fair mind on matters pertaining to the Negro. He took over the management of "Seven-Eleven" and became the partner of the boys. He took pot luck with them in times of distress for the show, and he shared with the every pleasure and profit that it has earned since it has become the greatest show we have on the boards today. To insure the sort of loyal service needed to accomplish this he secured his younger brother, pictured above, as business manager and later the other as advance man. When these men went into towns where offensive applations were applied to our group they straightway informed the theatre managers that no such language would be tolerated while that show occupied their house. They at times, compelled the A. F. of Musicians to discipline recalcitrant musicians who hesitated to recognize the Union card of the show orchestra members. They have done many such things and have persistently fought the principle of segregation in thethemes on the basis of its cash value. All of these policies have marked the private life of the boys, their mother and their respective wives. They are true men. The editors of the Tribune know of many exhibitions of the Goldberg Brothers' loyalty to many expensive experiments they have made to improve race relations. The latest example of their spirit was disclosed when after this paper had declined a hundred dollars worth of their advertising for a segregated theatre in which the show was booked, Bert said: "Gentlemen, I respect you for your stand. You are doing as a Jew would do if his rights were infringed. If chance ever offers, you will get a ten-fold business from us for we appreciate men who have principle. Your race needs more of it." That's why the Tribune prevailed upon the boys to sit for our official photographer, Mr. Scurlock. We regret we have not been able to obtain a picture of their brother, the forceful "Jack," so that our readers may know a friend who works them over the entire country.

Immediately after coming to Washington he declared a holiday and went to Laurel, Md., for a day at the track for recreation's sake. He had earned it, for he responded to many an encore. His return was marked by the bestowal of a large floral display in his private office, the gift of the office staff. MAIL LIST There is mail for the following persons in the Tribuhe office.
