MANY VI Had Wonderful Session in Washington Occasion Drew Important Visitors, Fraternal Dignitaries From Northern Jurisdiction Present. Banquet Characterizes Close of Session (By Frank D. McKinney, 32) After a magnificent two-day session at the Scottish Rite Temple, 1633 Eleventh Street, N. W., the United Supreme Grand Council of the 33rd and last degree of Masonry for the Southern Jurisdiction, wound up its 13th Triennial Session with an elaborate banquet at the Whitelaw Hotel, 13th and T Streets, N. W., which was a fitting climax to what has been termed by all as the most interesting and inspiring session ever held by this highest branch of the Masonic Order. The features which made this session of the Council stand out in bold relief, were, not only the amount of work transacted at the business sessions of the Council and the conferring of the 33rd Degree, but the entertainment features with which the sessions were interspersed. Principal among these features was the program of Divine Services at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Sunday night, which officially opened the conclave, and which proved to be a most remarkable Masonic service, from several view-points. The immense edifice was filled almost to capacity long before the hour for the service arrived, and the large outpouring of brethren of the fraternity and ladies of the appendant Order, had a splendid opportunity to exchange greetings, and prepare themselves for the treat which was in store. Every branch of the Masonic fraternity was well represented, and every head was bared at the request of the Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander, Ill. Robert L. Pendleton, who called them to prayer by Ill. Oscar W. Scott, Ex-Chapain of the U. S. A. Ill. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon and it proved to be one of the most powerful of his Masonic career, dealing with his conception of the "Three in Heaven, Three in Earth, and Three as a Symbol in Masonry."

Carey, for nine years an agent of the Underwriters Mutual Insurance Company, shot Wm. J. Wright, the manager of the company. Mr. Wright when interviewed by a reporter at Provident Hospital stated, "for some time Carey had been acting strangely around the office and he was constantly the source of much confusion. His discharge had been considered for some time but the company was loathe to let him go because he had been with the company for a long time. The immediate cause of the shooting was my order for him to report to his superintendent for a final inspection of his debit. However, this order was given because of the fact that Carey had become embroiled with another agent over two dollars. I told him to pay the other agent the amount due him and then to prepare for the final inspection. I was seated at my desk at the time of our conversation. Without any drew a revolver and began firing. Two shots struck me." Continuing, Mr. Wright declared, warning, Carey reached into his folio "At this time some company agents entered the room and attempted to capture the angry man but he succeeded in getting out the back door." He escaped and the company has offered a reward for his capture." Despite the wounds in his head and body, the injured man expects to resume his duties within a few weeks. MOB KILLS MAN AND WIFE Yazoo City, Miss., Oct. 22 (By the Associated Negro Press) "Murdered by unknown parties" was the verdict returned by a coroner's jury in the case of Monroe Gray and wife, who were killed Wednesday night at their home Woodlawn Plantation nine miles east of here. The husband was killed by a small shot from a shotgun at close range. His flesh was powder burned and the wad was still in the wound. The full charge of shot struck him near the heart. His wife was killed with an axe which was found leaning near the foot of the bed. The gun was not found.

ROCKVILLE, MD TEACHERS MEET AT LAYTONSVILLE The teachers of district number nine attended the group meeting held at the Laytonsville School, Friday 16. The purpose of this meeting was, observation and discussion. The order of procedure was: first, dramatization in reading, using "The Three Bears," and "The Rabbit' story as subjects. Dramatization along with silent reading were the principal aims toward which the teachers worked. Miss Celess Johnson, primary teacher at Laytonsville, demonstrated these lessons quite effectively. Mrs. Mattie Branch Simpson gave a demonstration lesson in "Home Nursing" and staged an interesting health play. Mrs. Simpson used the members of her class for the lesson and play. Following the observation and demonstration, Mr. Taylor conducted a critical class. Helpful hints for teaching were made along with general discussion. The entire county school system is stressing health and better health. Health clinics have been formed in two schools. Organize Baptists To Enlarge Plant Nashville, Tenn.—$50,000 was appropriated for enlarged quarters and new machinery, by the National Baptist Publishing Board at its recent board meeting. This action became necessary on account of the increased volume of business handled, and the tremendous growth intimated by the secretary in his report for the ensuing year. "A better work shop is to be fitted up, modern printing presses will be installed in order that the millions of increased books, tracts and periodicals, with the various newspapers might be finished with more dispatch. It will mean the employment of additional help. It will mean the opening of better opportunities for boys and girls who are coming out from the trade schools to take up the printing art," is the way one of the members of the board put it in giving out the information about the $50,000 appropriation made. The National Baptist Publishing Board's plant covers four city lots and has a group of about seven buildings. Practically in every department the working quarters are crowded. The secretary is of the opinion that no attempt will be made to build until he winer is over. DRUNKENNESS CHARGED IN DIVORCE ACTION Through Attorney J. Louis Taylor Mrs. Blanch Lynch, of 1149 Twentieth Street, Northwest, has filed suit in the District Supreme Court against her husband, John Lynch, proprietor of a barber shop at 2914 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, for maintenance. Mrs. Lynch claims that on account of irreconcilable differences growin' out of the fondness of her husband for alcoholic liquor and women, and his cruelty, they entered into a separation agreement on July 17, 1922 by the terms of which he agreed to pay her $40 a month toward the support of herself and their two children. She says that he is now in in-earns in an amount totaling more than $200. His income from the barber shop, she says, is more than $75 a week. They were married in the District of Columbia on January 4, 1907, and lived together until July 17, 1922. They have two children, Helen, 14 and Doris, 9.

Sweet and the other ten Negroes who are held in the Wayne County Jail charged with murder in the first degree when Leon Brienner was killed and Eric Hogsburger was wounded on the night of Sept. 9, when a mob attacked the home which Dr. Sweet had purchased at 2905 Garland Avenue. These attorneys are retained in addition to the three colored attorneys already in the case, Messrs. Julian Perry, Cecil Rowette and Charles Mahoney. Dr. Sweet, a graduate of Howard University and Wilberforce College, and a prominent citizen of Detroit, had purchased this home as a residence for himself and family. On the night of September 9th, when a mob numbering upwards of a thousand attacked the house, Brienner was killed and Hogsburger was wounded in the attack. Walter White, of New York, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who retained Mr. Darrow in Chicago, who has been in Detroit for some time working on the case made the following statement in announcing the retention of Mr. Darrow and others as counsel: "Dr. Sweet purchased the house at 2005 Garland Avenue in May, about a month before Dr. A. L. Turner, another colored physician, was driven from his home on Spokane Avenue from which his furniture was moved by a mob. Dr. Sweet did not move into his home until September 8th and it is evident that the mob, emboldened by its success with Dr. Turner, who has practiced medicine in Detroit upwards of fifteen years, decided to get rid of Dr. Sweet in the same manner.

Duppin PORTERS RESEE HOWARD'S L BY PULI Both Sides of t PORTERS RESENT PERRY HOWARD'S RETAINMENT BY PULLMAN COMPANY Both Sides of the Controversy PULLMAN COMPANY APPPOINTS NEGRO TO STAFF OF GENERAL COUNSEL IN EFFORT TO STEM ORGANIZATION OF PORTERS The Pullman Company is taking extreme measures to prevent the organization of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The latest and most startling development is the appointment of the Hon. Perry Howard National Committeeman from Mississippi, who has for the past few years been handling railroad litigation as an attorney on the staff of the U. S. Attorney General. Mr. Howard was a Pullman Porter in his earlier days and in an interview with the Tribune professed to be sincere in his belief that the Pullman Company is trying to save the Porters from themselves in the prevention of the organization. In a statement to the Tribune, he declined to mention any legal matters that have been entrusted to his care by the new and wealthy client, yet protested strongly against an impression that he had been retained especially for the purpose of exerting pressure upon the Porters and to distribute Pullman propaganda against organization. Nor, did he clear up doubts as to whether as a company officer he had been provided with the annual pass over all lines usual to such positions. The question remains, if he has such a pass, is it valid in his home state? No light was thrown upon the inconsistency of creating an executive office for a Negro with withholding from acknowledgely competent men in the service of the Pullman company even minor promotions to places of much less consequence. "It was only after the most careful consideration that I accepted the offer of the Pullman Company," he said, "and was persuaded to do so by the larger opportunity of serving the race which presented itself." While in Chicago last week, he stated, startling revelations were made to him, which thoroughly convinced him that the movement to effect an independent organization of Pullman porters has in its background communistic influences. It was because he was unwilling to see the Pullman porter become an agent of communism in this country that he became associated with the Pullman Company, he declared. "I am convinced," he said, "that Socialists and Communists are fostering the movement to form a radical labor union among the Pullman porters, not to help the porters, but to bring about a condition that will inure to the benefit of ultra-radical labor." Mr. Howard expressed the opinion that there is nothing in common between the American Negro and the class of persons receiving their or- should be charged me.

HOWARD'S RETENTION WILL ONLY STIMULATE MEN TO COMPLETE ORGANIZATION MORE QUICKLY To the Editor—Sir: May I, through your valuable columns, reply to Mr. Perry Howard, who furiously assails the movement for organizing the Pullman porters? Commenting on his reason for accepting the job on the staff of general counsel of the Pullman Company, Mr. Howard observes: "Startling revelations were made to me which thoroughly convinced me that the movement to reflect an independent organization of Pullman porters has in its background communistic influences. It was because I was unwilling to see the Pullman porter become an agent of Communism in this country that I became associated with the Pullman Company." Now this is pure invention. There isn't a scintilla of truth in it. May I ask from whom did these revelations come? Did they or the salary influence Brother Howard's action? As a Special Assistant to the Department of Justice, Mr. Howard ought to know better. It is a reflection upon both his intelligence and his character to make such loose, unfounded statements. Apparently, though a lawyer of alleged legal training, it has not occurred to him that evidence should be presented in support of charges made. But, no, with the blank innocence of a mere child, he makes a bold, unsupported statement, expecting an intelligent public, which knows him too well, to accept same upon its face value. Here he has reckoned without his host. Of course, the charge is calculated to act as a red herring to divert the attention of the Pullman porters from the main issue of organizing, to some extraneous, foreign question. But his shot has fallen wide of the mark. Instead of dampening the ardor of the men, it is only serving to stimulate them to more vigorous action in support of the union. In this connection, may I say that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is not connected with either Communists, Socialists, Republicans or Democrats. It is entirely independent. I trust that this statement is sufficiently definite and clear for even Mr. Howard to understand. He further states, "that the economic salvation of his race is in the good-will of the capitalists, and that attempts to create ill-will between them are for the purpose of exploitation. This is, indeed, a pathetic example of the utter gullibility and inexcusable credulity of an alleged intelligent Negro leader.

Scott, its president, said in a statement just issued. Suit for an accounting was filed against certain officers of the corporation in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia two weeks ago by George F. Hatton, a skilled laborer in the Government Printing Office. He charged that the officers had failed to make an accounting, that they had paid out large sums of money in commissions and had arranged to dissolve the corporation and distribute the funds without authorization. According to the statement of Mr. Scott, the stockholders voted unanimously to dissolve the corporation because of "overhead expenses and annual meeting of the stockholders in paying for their stock." He said that "a dissolution committee was appointed to close out the affairs of the corporation. This dissolution committee is composed of Messrs. John R. Hawkins, Whitfield McKunley, Norman L. McGhee, Harry V. Plummer and Rev. L. A. King. "The committee at once employed counsel and proceeded under advice of counsel to dissolve the corporation, collect the assets and to make bursements to the stockholders as fast as the assets could be assembled. This process of liquidating is now under way. "All of this was authorized at the annual meeting of the stockholders held January 31, 1925, after full and complete examination of the books, the report of a certified public accountant and discussions by the stockholders. During the discussion not a single criticism was made against any officer of the corporation. On the contrary, every one present who spoke, expressed confidence in the officers and only voted to discontinue the corporation on account of the large number of persons who had subscribed for stock and had not kept up their payments as well as for the other reasons stated." ROCKVILLE ODD FELLOWS BANQUET FRIENDS The Laurel Leaf Lodge of Odd Fellows of Rockville, Md., a lodge for many years has given a public picnic for its charity fund which the community has liberally supported. This year, the lodge, determined to give the public a token of its appreciation in the form of a banquet to several hundred friends on October 15th. The afair was given in Galilean Fishermen's Hall in the Montgomery County, Md. county seat. The hall was tastefully decorated as befitted the season, and an excellent repast was served. A number of prominent members of the Order from distant points shared with the local officials the pleasures of the occasion. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and James A. Jackson, executive editor of the Washington Tribiune, were the principal speakers. Mrs. Wilson accompanied the party from Washington as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hartman. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS COUNCIL OF FALLS CHURCHRESCINDS SEGREGATION ACT Falls Church, Va., Oct. 22—The city council has repealed a segregation ordinance, which designated certain districts as "white" or "colored" according to the color of a majority of the persons living in them. This action was taken as a result of the contentions of James A. Cobb and George E. C. Hayes, attorneys, of Washington, D. C., who represented David Spencer, who owned a lot in Virginia Avenue between Broad Street and Park Avenue and sought to build upon it. Attorneys Cobb and Hayes contended that the ordinance was unconstitutional. Mr. Spencer began the construction of a home on his lot. He was informed that a building permit was necessary. He made the necessary application. The city council wanted a statement from Mr. Spencer as to who would occupy the premises when completed indicating that if the property would be occupied by colored persons a permit would not be granted for a dwelling having been erected no colored person would be allowed to occupy it. Mr. Spencer got in touch with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and was referred to Attorney Cobb. In the illness of Mr. Cobb, Attorney Hayes appeared before the city council and argued the case orally. A brief was asked for, and on Saturday, October 10 last, Attorneys Cobb and Hayes filed a brief, in which they contended that the ordinance was "unconstitutional and void." On Monday, October 12, the city council handed down its decision. The mayor stated that the brief of defense counsel had been submitted to the city attorney, who, after studying the decisions of the courts of Virginia and the Supreme Court of the United States, had come to the conclusion that the ordinance was unconstitutional and advised its repeal. While Attorneys Cobb and Hayes were present, the council by an unanimous vote repealed the ordinance and granted Mr. Spencer the permit to build. They were complimented on their brief and thanked for the aid given the city council in reaching a conclusion. Fireman Promoted To Lieutenant Riehard J. Holmes, a member of Engine Company No. 4, who has been in the Washington Fire Department since November 18, 1902, was recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He has filled every grade in the department from watchman to sergeant, the grade from which he was promoted after passing the necessary civil service examinations. He has been with Captain Charles E. Gibson in Engine Company No. 4 since its organization with a Negro personnel, April 3, 1919. The company numbers sixteen men with Lieutenant Key as senior lieutenant. The Holmes promotion is a vindication of the optimism of Captain Gibson and very definitely refutes the fear that there would be no promotions of Negroes in the department. As our men advance to the grades in the regular way (as their names appear upon the roll of eligibles), one may now even hope for another company so that others may be advanced as did Lieut. Holmes. Commissioner Cuno Rudolph Talks Over Festival Plans Commissioner Cuno Rudolph Talks Over Festival Plans A large number of representative citizens met with the Commissioners of the District last Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the board-room of the District Building in response to a call issued a few days since. The three commissioners were present when the meeting opened with a pointed address by Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph bearing upon the purpose and character of the proposed May Music Festival and asking for suggestions generally. Several made interesting talks and voiced the sentiment of all present in endorsing the project and promising wholehearted support to the cause of music. Finally a motion prevailed to appoint an executive committee of thrity among the group to develop the plan more definitely, which the Commissioner announced would be done and adjourned the meeting until further notice. Representing our race present at the meeting were: Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, George T. Beason of the Citizen's Council, J. Henry Lewis, Sergeant Dorsey Rhodes, Henry L. Grant and Wellington A. Adams.

BEAUTY HINTS The bobbed hair style has caused some women to forget the most effective scalp treatment—giving the hair a good brushing every day. They have taken to using combs and never think of the brush from one month to the other. The advantages of brushing the hair are—it stimulates the scalp, bringing new blood up to fill the roots and sending a fresh supply of oil to make the hair glossy. The bristles of the brush also cleans the hair and therefore does not need to be shampooed so often. One reason bobbed hair needs washing so often is because it is rarely thoroughly brushed. Another is that it flies about more and it takes up more dust. A delightful skin massage which softens and keeps the skin in wonderful condition is made from the bottle of "orchard white" purchased from drug stores, to which has been added the juice of two lemons. If this is used twice a day, it will whiten the skin and cause wonderful improvement.

JAMS THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1925 Answers to Oueries From the Melting Pot Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Dear Vee Tee Tee: A little friend of mine whose matrimonial bark has gone on the rocks, wrote to me in her grief and disappointment and askekd: "Is Marriage A Failure? I wrote her; My married life covered a period of nineteen years and I never regretted the binding obligation of the solemn injunction of the Bishop "Till death do you part." My husband and I built our married life on a firm foundation of mutual love, faith and confidence, without which no marriage can succeed. The trouble with most young people is that they expect too much of each other and are disappointed when the ideal condition of counting is not the same after marriage. Before marriage, we see each other when we are at our best—bright, fresh and to all intents and purposes free from worry and care. Marriage brings in its wake an every day relation with its sterner problems to face each with the other—and here is where the "bear and forebear" needs to be the watchword. To my mind the financial rock wrecks more married lives than any other one. To a great extent this is due to the improper rearing of the average girl, for while every business and profession in life must bring with it a period of preparedness, marriage, the most sacred of all relations and fraught with problems most exacting, critical, and responsible, is entered into with no definite thought of preparation to meet its intricacies. Married life run on an unbusiness like basis brings crimination and recrimination. With no definite knowledge of what her husband's income is the wife runs the household at the rate of a "champaign appetite on a beer income," when a spirit of cooperation would soon bring order out of chaos. "All the world loves a lover," is as true after marriage as before. The word of praise for toothsome meal on which the wife has put a loving thought and extra care in its preparation; the light of love that springs to the eye at the new dress or hut; the surprise box of candy, or flowers or theatre tickets all help to keep the love fires burning and makes the burgee he can "stand without being tied" lessens the desire to roam. Man loves to be praised, admired, and appreciated. Here is the place he wants to go at the close of a tired day to his heart's companion, feeling that his failures as well as his successes will receive equal sympathy and support; a welcome smile for the thing accomplished, a word of love and faith for the mistake or failure of the thing attempted. No really good man has utterly failed who has had the love and faith of a sympathetic wife. Marriage is what each of us makes it and requires unlimited love, patience and confidence, and an understanding of the rights of each to the other, to steer the bark of matrimony into a safe harbor of happiness and success. GRACE LUCAS THOMPSON Dear Vee Tee Tee: I am worried because my husband never accompanies me anywhere. I don't seem to like the kind of amusement he likes and he doesn't care for my type of pleasure. What could I do to relieve matters. Hopeful Well Hopeful, you're in a sad predicament I'm afraid. In the first place people with temperaments so vastly different should never be married Did you not know your husband's likes nd dislikes before marriage? He surely hasn't changed so quickly. For marriage to really be successful there must be some mutual agreement. A couple should never be antagonistic to each other. Naturally if you don't like what your husband does, he finds no pleasure in your company; you cease to amuse him and he goes elsewhere where he can find an outlet for his cravings. Evidently his going causes you concern and you yourself must be the one to try to change your ideas to a certain extent in order to reach and change his. Make yourself always as attractive as you can when he comes home from work; always greet him with a smile and let him know you are glad to see him. Of course have a good tastily arranged appetizing dinner for him—now you have captured him, but this is only the beginning. Now that he is feeling fine, converse pleasantly with him, don't worry him with disagreeable happenings of the day. Those things are distasteful to a man after he has workekd hard all day. When he says he is going out for awhile, ask him may you go with him. Tell, him you want to be his pal, that you want to enjoy his pleasures with him. No doubt he will wonder why you have so changed, but go right ahead until you have accomplished your aim. Never be too tired to accompany him. Find enjoyment in his pleasures. Don't nag or harass him if something he does is too much to the extreme. Simply point out the bad effect that same action had upon some other young man and try sympathetically to make him see his mistake along certain lines. Encourage him now to accompany you and enjoy your type of A woman thinks more of the box of candy her husband brings home to her of his own accord than she does of the box of costly pearls he presents her because she asked him. Girls beware of the so-called friend who always showers uncalled for praises upon you and continually knocks someone else. When your back is turned her hammer is on you. This being the twentieth century the young generation has proceeded to turn everything upside down. Even the "Ten Commandments" are interpreted their way, "broadly, loosely and unmeaningly." Be more careful, what is right—is right and what is wrong—is wrong, twentieth century or not. To be a successful wife, keep yourself just as attractive both physically and mentally as you did before marriage. Don't fall into oblivion simply because you're married. It is one thing to enter into the state of matrimony and another in making it a success. A girl's manner of dress oftimes bespeaks her character. Many girls wonder why they have been unsuccessful when applying for work never stopping to think that their improper manner of dress spoke before they did. Never listen to any gossip about your husband. Unless you know positively that a rumor is true yourself never act. Many homes are broken up by untimely gossip. Vice versa. Idleness is responsible for so many family troubles. A working mind never has time to resort to imaginary situations and therefore never stirs up the green monster, Jealousy. Be a lifter, not a leaner; be ever ready to push forward, not pull backward; be a leader, not a follower—ever selecting a goal or right endeavor with a standard so high it can only be reached by constant every day advancement.

Helpful Suggestions Save on Gas Bills You will find matches far cheaper than gas. Do not turn your gas or until you are ready to use it. And do not let it burn when you are changing kettles. When Making Custard Time your custard. If a custard cooks a moment too long it will curdle. In making baked custard, if it bakes a moment too long you will find it watery at the bottom of the cup. When Frying Don't use a small quantity of fat and call it frying. Frying is immersion in a large quantity of fat. Always have the fat hot. Food cooked in cold or half warm fat or allowed to stand in the fat until it is wanted, is very indigestible and will cause serious stomach illness. Servo Children Cocoa In the winter months when the children want something hot to drink before they go to school you can safely give them cocoa in place of the usual glass of milk. Unlike tea or coffee, cocoa is a very nourishing food for the growing boy or girl. For Removing Stains Try a raw potato for removing ink stains. It works wonders.

While advance lines of winter millinery from the hands of Paris designers are beginning to make their appearance, the attention of our local milliners is still more or less taken up with the making of fall hats. For the fall, as in the past year, crowns demand most attention. There is a change from the little tucked and creased crown of the past season, to one in which the silhouette is not broken in any way. One of the leading importers who has returned from the Paris market speaks of fall tendencies and says that the new silhouette must show the crown fitted to the head perfectly, so that the hat looks as though it actually belongs to the wearer. There is not a crown that does not show detail of some sort, but this does not mean that the silhouette is broken only that the detail is introduced in the making of the hat. More and more attention is given to the matching of the hat to the costume and it is remarked that no longer can a woman buy a hat and have it serve the purpose of topping three or more costumes.

Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair.

HARRIS dressed these days, a woman must have a hat to match each of her costumes; for it is said that the ensemble idea in apparel will be just as strong in the winter models as it is this fall. It seems to be a generally accepted opinion that felt will continue in large demand. However, the smart women will undoubtedly want something to take the place of felt to some degrees, and for that reason the French milliners are using grosgrain so well manipulated that it gives the same effect as felt. Velvet, hatters plush and velours; within this triangle is found the vast majority of the season's hats for street wear. The latter fabric, available in many shades of green, purple, biege and wine, has the charm of pliability and richness of tone. One word of warning that ought to be sounded concerning velours. It is: this spare the cost and spoil the hat. For only a superior and therefore expensive quality will stand up to wear and weather. One type of hat is shown by Caroline Reboux, acknowledged the premiere designer of Paris, suitable for the more formal occasion. Made of black velvet it rolls up a narrow margin in front and widens at the sides. Two quills adorn the crown. They are in black and white—a combination which loses none of its prestige in a season given over to color. Another feature of the fall mollusk French women. They are very large amount of ornaments worn by the French women. The yare very large in size and in practically all cases are in real diamonds. For this reason the rhinestone brooch or pin will be very popular --- germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, alley falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

I noticed the limerick and decided that I would try it. BERNICE SHAW Football! Football! Dear Editor: Hello! How are you? Well this is just a line or two to tell you about the football game I saw on the Howard_University Campus last Saturday. It was very interesting, but it could have been more so. My father was at the game with me. He wondered why don't more people go to the football games. He said that most of the folks at the game were students. He said that at the white college games lots and lots of people attend who are not students. When I go to college I want to be a football player. STANLEY H. BROOKS(14) Another Bert Williams Story Dear Editor; I enjoyed the article about Bert Williams. I never knew that his real name was Egbert Austin Williams. I also thought that he was born in the United States. I thank you for the information. Here is one of Bert Williams' jokes: Mandy dropped in to see her old mistress after an absence of ten years. It was the mistress's birthday, and just as Mandy got there a big bunch of flowers came in. "Who sent dat bokey?" asked Mandy. "Why, Mr. John." "Yo' husband'? Yo' mean yo' husband' sent 'em?" asked Mandy doubtfully. "Of course, my husband sent them." "Why yes—but why?" "Halleujuh!" shouted Mandy. "He sure am holdin' out well." OSWALD D.

Yours truly, EVA JONES(14) Dear Editor: I certainly appreciate and enjoyed last week's Children's Page. Those suggestions for Halloween were just the thing. I showed them to my big sister and she is going to arrange a party just like it was on the Children's Page. I liked the joke about the fellow who wouldn't eat apples because he was afraid of getting apple-plexy. Love to all; keep the most for yourself. JULIA A. SNOWDEN(13) Try, Try Again Dear Editor: I read the Children's Page last week and I tried to complete the Limerick. I could make a sentence that would rhyme with the last line but not the first ones, so I didn't send it in. I'll try again next week. I won fifty cents before when they were in, and oh! how proud I was. Look out for me please. Your little friend.

THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF "THE CHILDREN'S PAGE" On October 26, 1921, The Children's Page of The Washington Tribune was presented to the juvenile readers of this city. From then until this time, many friends have been made. Both the boys and the girls have proven loyal to the page by taking active parts in all of the various activities during this period of time. Not only have the loyal ones been little citizens of Washington, but Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey, have been represented on this page. Although but four years old, the page can boast of having seen some of its members making commendable strides in various school activities. Radio, drawing, story writing, poetry,—are some of the fields in which certain former Tribunites have done well. This much has been said of you today to remind you that your Editor feels proud of you and never lets you get out of his memory. He keeps track of his little friends and from time to time writes letters to them. Here is hoping that each Tribunite as he or she goes from high school to college and on into the more serious activities of life that he or she will remember the pledge of their childhood—"The Tribunite's Pledge." OUR FIRST LETTER Here is the first letter ever written to the Children's Page: Editor The Children's Page: I am twelve years old and in 9-A grade. Please put my name on the page next week. I go to Junior High School. I get the "Brownie's Book" and I like it very much. I take Spanish and I can speak a little French. Well, I am very glad to have met you even if it is only through the paper. Good-bye! I am your friend, MARY A. THOMAS THE LITTLE PASTRY COOK By Mrs. G. C.

Charities and Race Defense Had Important Place in Last Session of Imperial Council In a proclamation, the first of the current fiscal year, issued by Imperial Potentate Caesar R. Blake, Jr., of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, a number of matters are set forth that are not only of interest to the members of the order, but of general interest to the whole race group. For that reason, the usual secrecy that pervades the handling of fraternal documents is waived and the whole proclamation is herewith published. Proclamation No. 1 to the Nobility Everywhere greetings. The close of the 26th Annual Session of the Imperial Council marked the most harmonious and progressive session we have ever held. Meeting for the first time, west of the Mississippi River and in a territory composed of small temples, we made magnificent showing. The good done the order and the race by our presence in Kansas City, Kansas, is of inestimable value. Temples were represented that never before had a representative in the Imperial Council. By holding night sessions, we were able to close the Imperial Council within two days and thereby save much money to the Imperial Council, Local Temple and representatives. Elks Change Meeting Date The Elks and Shriners no longer meet in annual session on the same meeting dates. In accordance with their promise, the Elks have changed their annual meeting date to the third week in August. Boston, Mass. The 27th Annual Session of the Imperial Council will convene in Boston, Mass. Monday, August 23rd; Wednesday, August 25th, and Friday, August 27th, 1926. Many organizations have preceded us to Boston and made splendid showings. However, aside from patriotic reasons, the regular Prince Hall Masons know that Boston is the shrine of our system of Freemasonry. It was here that Prince Hall and others established the first Masonic Lodge among our people. From this lodge, all the regular bodies of Prince Hall Masonry have come or sprung, including Chapters, Commanders, Consistories, Temples and appendant bodies. Hence, not only every Noble of the Mystic Shrine should attend, but there is every reason that every Prince Hall Mason SAMUEL TROPE should attend and lay a wreath upon the grave of the Father and Patron Saint of our System of Freemasonry. If each Noble will make himself a committee of one and invite the brothers of lower degree to be present in Boston, we believe that there will be no doubt left in the minds of Compacts, or other enemies or doubtful ones as to who are the regular Prince Hall Masons. "By our numbers they shall know us." Slogan for 1925-26 "On to Boston, 25,000 Strong." International Conference of Knights Templar The I. C. K. T. will convene with us at Boston. I am again urging, as was done in 1923, that each Noble will pack his Templar uniform, sword, etc., and bring them to Boston. We are not jealous of each other and must realize that we must help one another. A house divided against itself soon totters and falls. Lawsuits Our Houston, Texas case is before the Supreme Court of Texas and should be heard sometime during the month of October. We are hoping for a favorable decision. It is deemed unwise to say more upon this subject at this time. No change was made in the Rules of the Charity Fund Department. Therefore, all Temples under the protection of this department must have their returns in not later than October 15, 1925. No suspended Noble can be reinsated in his Temple unless his application for reinstatement bears a physician's certificate of good health. No Charity Fund Assessment should be accepted from a Noble after he is on his sick or death bed, as he has had ample opportunity to pay same as other Nobles. No claims will be paid where it is shown that the assessment of a Noble was paid into the Local Temple after his death or forwarded to the Charity Fund Department after his death. Do no attempt to defraud the Charity Fund Department. A reinstated member is half benefited for six months after reinstatement. A new member must be a member of the order for six months before he is entitled to any benefit. At the end of that time he is in full benefit. Each Noble is impressed that if he pays this assessment while he is living, he wins; to pay it after his death, he loses. No charity Fund Return blanks will be sent out this year, except on request. Make out reports in duplicate as previously on plain paper, or Temple stationery. Miscellaneous The Imperial Council— Voted a Charter to the Imperial Grand Court, Daughters of Isis.

Frey, in speaking of the attitude of the Federation towards wage earners, declared: "We are charged with endeavoring to prevent colored men from becoming members of our organization. It is put into their minds that we do not take them into our Trade Union Movement, or, if we are compelled to do that, that we treat them with indifference and keep them to one side. "There is no group of workers in this country occupying a more unfortunate position than those of colored skins, whose hearts and whose ideals and ambitions are the same as our own. I have been familiar with organized wage-earners, and I want to say to you that not only in the conduct of their organization, but in every other, particular, I know of no more loyal Trade Unionists than the representatives of that race. I know something about the situation they occupy as American citizens. They are as welcome a part of our Trade Union Movement as any other. "If there is a movement in this country which has done something more than all others to bring about the true spirit of Americanization, it is this Trade Union Movement of ours. We have done more to bring about the belief that every man is entitled to the same consideration as any other man than any institution in the United States." coration of the grave of Prince Hall.

NORTH 133 NORTH 63 Sevinlock Reflections from the Looking Glass The following philosophic comments and amusingly interesting squibs are from the columns of "The Looking Glass," a new publication, the first issue of which made its appearance in the New York field of journalism on October 14th. The menu for a happy home is: Enough money; the love of God, and above all, love and consideration for one another. Keep cool when hubby is ruffled. Both can't rehearse at the same time. Besides he can't get the full benefit of your onslaught. Wait. Catch him in a mushy mood and then give him a good lambasting. Don't assume an innocent expression. It is a weak alibi and easily detected. Innocence and virtue need no label. Don't wear a style because it becomes another woman. Nature may have given her what you do not possess. Make the best of what you have. If you are thick of body don't be thick of head. Stick to your style and make the best of it. Don't say catty things about popular women. It doesn't hurt them but rather enhances their popularity since you draw them into the limelight and magnify your own defects, usually the cause of such comment. Don't cultivate the friendship of "big timers." It keeps you keyed up striving. It also makes you drift into financial waters. The current is strong and you will drown clutching after liabilities. Don't buy a fur coat unless you need one. Don't need one unless you have everything else you need. And another thing—don't imitate anybody. Be yourself. Cultivate your own individuality and it will be as fetching as the one you would copy. Keep still about this age business. It accentuates the fact about something self evident.

HARRIS public Theatre, Phone, N. 2123 White Fiends Hold Parents, Married DaugtherIs Assualted Newark, N. J.—Last Sunday morning, two white men, Ed Holloway and Sylvester Murphy, accompanied by two other men, attempted to force open the door of the apartment of Daniel Rainey, of 181 18th Street, at five o'clock. When asked by Rainey what they wanted they said they were detectives. Rainey refused to open the door and the four attempted to break it open. Fearing they would break the door down Rainey opened it and was greeted by a revolver. Aroused by the noise, Rainey's wife and two younger daughters gathered around him. Keeping them covered with the gun the four white men ordered them into a rear room, threatening them with Both Sides of the Pullman Company and Porters Controversy ders from Moscow. He believes, he said, that the economic salivation of his race is in the goodwill of the capitalists and that attempts to create ill-will between them are for the purpose of exploitation. He points to the fact that the Negro is barred from membership in practically all labor organizations. He said that "the Pullman porter has no just grievance that in due course will not receive the proper consideration. Machinery for the settling of labor disputes between the company and its employees is already set up. The porter are given representation, and their present organization, approved by the United States Railroad Labor Board, is functioning.

He also a barred from all labor. Well, what right, necess porters organ of reasoning for the the governem are throwin What matter do object to "There can be no increase in wages at this time. In the first place, Pullman porters receive reasonable pay for the work done and their earnings certainly amount to more than a living wage and afford them even some of the luxuries of life. "The question of wages of all persons engaged in the railroad transportation industry was recently passed upon by The United States Railroad Labor Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the salaries of all employees, except Pullman porters were reduced approximately $12\%$ per cent, while the Pullman porters received an average increase of approximately $12\%$ per cent "Before the wages of the Pullman porter can be increased again, the wages of other railroad employees must be increased. That is the decision of both the United States Railroad Letter Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission. And wages cannot be increased until there is an increase in the earnings of the railroad companies. Besides, the public is demanding cheaper transportation in both passenger and freight service. "To meet the demands which the leaders of this movement tell the porters they will make and be granted would cost the Pullman Company $12,000,000 a year. The reports on file with the Interstate Commerce Commission show that the net earnings of the company last year only amounted to $9,000,000. It cannot be done without bankruptcy." "Such a situation would cause the Pullman Company to look about for cheaper labor. In that event Filipinos are available and white men in the guise of trainmen would not be averse to accepting their places. Digressing from the economic viewpoint, MF. Howard touched upon the religious and charged that "in their creeds and dogmas the Socialists and Communists, who would disturb agreeable relations between the Pullman Company and the Pullman porter, deny the existence of God, and adherence to them or their doctrines will deplete the pew and render useless the pulpit, making a race of atheists as can be found only in dissolate Russia." He concluded that "the time has come for someone to speak out plainly and in the language of common sense. If we throw away the opportunities and friends we have made in the past fifty years chasing after mirages, it is going to work untold injury upon our future. Let the Pullman porters hold what they have and cleave to the worlds they know rather than to flee to those they know not of. I urge every common sense man in the employ of the Pullman Company to let the wild-eyed, long-haired, leather-lunged, starving bol-shevists and communists go on their way." A. A. S. R. MASONS, 33 DEGREE SUPREME COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) mon was so inspiring and so well received, that it called forth outbursts from the large congregation on several occasions as he waked eloquent and forceful in his delivery. The musical part of the program was well taken care of by Ill. Dr. C. Summer Wormley, Mrs. Summer C. Beale, Mr. C. H. Williams, and the choir of the church, under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis. Monday morning at 10 o'clock, marked the official opening of the session at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and, after the business of the call was stated, the Mes Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander delivered his Allocation, which was considered a masterpiece of English Literature and will live long in the memories of the members. The session adjourned at 12:30 for luncheon, which was served in the banquet hall of the Cathedral, by the Luncheon Committee of the Jonathan Davis Consistory No. 1, largely com- PAGE TWO death if they made an outney. While one of the men held Rainey, his wife and two young daughters at bay in the rear room the other three men dragged Mrs. Ruth Rainey Gray, 17, an older daughter, from bed, took her, a rear room where she was raped by the three white fiends. After this assault Halloway at the point of the gun and with threats to kill, forced the girl to submit to a shocking crime. In leaving the place one of the quartet shot Murphy in the arm. Murphy was arrested by the police in St. Francis Hospital where he went for treatment. Halloway was arrested Monday night. Murphy was identified by Rainey as one of the men and held for the grand jury without bail. same race of the capitalists, cannot depend upon their (the capitalists') good-will, why in the name of Heaven should the Negro, despised, condemned and spat upon by everybody, rely upon the capitalists' good-will? To suggest such ridiculous, preposterous and absurd advice tends to impress one with the idea that Mr. Howard's amazing stupidity is only exceeded by his abject servility. He also avers that the Negro is barred from membership in practically all labor organizations. Well, what's that got to do with the right, necessity and value of Pullman porters organizing? If this is the sort of reasoning which Mr. Howard is doing for the salary he receives from the government, then the tax payers are throwing away their money. What matter it though some unions do object to Negro workers joining? That is no valid or sound argument against organizations, per se. In the South, some prejudiced whites object to Negroes learning how to write. Would any same individual cite that fact as a sensible reason why a Negro should not learn to write or that writing can be of no value to him? Obviously not. But Mr. Howard contends that organization is valueless to the Negro workers merely because some white workers won't permit Negroes to join their organizations. Such is the analogy. One could hardly imagine that this was the serious belief of a grown-up. Continues he, "The Pullman porter has no just grievance that in due course will not receive the proper consideration." This is entirely too vague and general. What pray tell us, does he mean by due course? It may mean anything from a day to a thousand years. Nor is the proper consideration phrase sufficiently explanatory. Proper to whom, may I ask? It does not necessarily follow that what may be considered proper to the Pullman Company, is, iso facto, proper to the Pullman porter. He goes on: "Machinery for the settling of labor disputes between the company and its employees as to hours, wages and conditions of employment is 'always set up'. True, the machinery is set up, but the machinery known as the Employee Representation Plan does not settle the disputes to the satisfaction of the Pullman porters. It is a colossal fraud, which was rejected by the Pullman car conductors, but forced upon the Pullman porters. Under it, the company is always right and the porter is always wrong. Under it, before a charge against a porter is investigated, he is put on the streets, and though he may be finally restored to service he is not paid for the time he has lost; nor is he adjudged vindicated; but, on the contrary, he is, according to the policy of the Company, only restored to service because of the fact that he was the object of mercy, not justice. In other words, the porter is always guilty. He carries the stigma of being a perpetual criminal, under the existing machinery for adjusting disputes, so blindly glorified by Mr. Howard. Now the self-respecting Pullman porters don't want mercy. They want justice. They don't want sympathy. They want their rights, just as all other workers. But they will never get justice until they have the power to demand it; and they will never have the power to demand it until they are organized. Obviously, Mr. Howard is more to be pitted than censured. For note Pullman porters' getting more wages: posed of ladies of the Golden Circle, with Henry P. Briscoe as chairman. This committee served luncheon during mid-day and dinner after the afternoon session to 150 guests, and received generous praise for its efficiency. In the afternoon session, an address was delivered by Ill. Dr. Sumner C. Furniss, Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander of the Northern Jurisdiction, who was present with his Lieut. Grand Commander, Ill. George W. Crawford, of New Haven, Corn, and Grand Minister of State, Ill. Thomas W. Collins, Philadelphia, Pa., stated, the Most Puissant Sovereign Jurisdiction.

This was a memorial service for the Illustrious Dead, and was performed for the first time in history by the officers of the Jonathan Davis Consistory, Ill. Cicero A. Lee, Commander-in-Chief; Ill. Henry A. Brown, First Lieut. Commander, and Ill. Benj. F. Arrington, Second Lieut. Commander. This service was described by all present as the finest thing ever witnessed in this jurisdiction. Appropriate music by the choir and congregation, a solo by Mrs. Estelle Collier Williams, scripture reading by Sublime Prince Frank E. Hearns, a recitation ("Thanatopsis") by Sublime Prince Walter T.

SELECTION The selection of Benjamin Jefferson Davis, editor of The Atlantic Independent, by the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia, to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, as a member of the Republican National Committee, is pleasing to party leaders. It was learned to-day that prior to the action of the Georgia committee, efforts have been made by "illy-white" Republicans to have the Prudent indicate a choice; but that he declined to interfere, taking the position that the choice should be oy the Republicans of Georgia. Mr. Davis was nominated to fill the vacancy by the Georgia state committee last Thursday. He received 42 votes, Dr. W. H. Harris, of Athens, Ga. 9 votes and W. R. Tucker (white) 7 votes This nomination is subject to approval of the Republican National Committee at its next regular meeting, which will not be held until sometime in December, 1927. In the meantime, the Georgia patronage is being dispensed by Dr. W. J. Gilliam (white), chairman of the Georgia Republican Statet Committee. Under an agreement he acted jointly with the late Henry Lincoln Johnson in making recommendations to fill vacancies in the State. Since the death of Mr. Johnson, Dr. Gilleam has been the sole dispenser of patronage in Georgia. This agreement, however, is certain to evoke a protest. Mrs. George S. Williams, Republican National Committeewoman for Georgia, has opened offices in Savannah, Ga., and the indications are that she will make a bid to handle the patronage in her state. Such a fight between her an Dr. Gilliam may result in an early recognition of Mr. Davis as the representative of the Republican party in Georgia. Senator William M. Butter, chairman of the Republican National Committee, may effect an arrangement whereby Dr. Gilleam, Mrs. Williams and Mr. Davis will be consulted on patronage matters in their state. Mr. Davis is the secretary of Republican State Central Committee of Georgia. He has been very active in Republican politics for a long number of years. He has attended several national conventions as a delegate from his state at large and has contributed financially to Republican campaign funds.

Further developments resulted in for the being neid upon homicide and conspiracy charges, all being Negroes. "The problem involved in this case is one of increasing importance. Fif- Phone. North 10178 teen years ago there were only 8,000 Negroes in Detroit. Today, the Negro population is variously estimated from 65,000 to 81,000. Obviously, this increased number cannot live in the houses formerly occupied by 8,000 people. As the position of Negroes economically and educationally improve there must necessarily be a penetration of what have heretofore been white neighborhoods. It is a problem of securing some place in which to live and to rear their children. Solution Sought Solution Sought "This problem is also acute in other communities and the N. A. A. C. P. is interested in preventing trouble like this which has taken place in Detroit and in other cities. The most favorable factor in finding a solution to this problem is that of cultivating the same intelligent and unprejudiced view-point on the part of the public so that there may be a realization of the problems which Negroes are facing in finding decent places in which to live, commensurate with their means and aspirations." Mr. Darrow is perhaps the outstanding criminal and civil rights attorney of the country. He is loved for the many fights he has put up for the Irish, for his many successful participations in labor battles in the courts of the land, and, has attracted considerable national publicity through his connection with the Evolution trial in Tennessee and his able handling of the defense of the Loeb-Leopold case in Chicago in which he saved the lives of two youngsters who committed murder in search of a thrill.

THE PRICE OF VANITY There seems to be no group of people more gullible than the successful(?) and self-styled successful business and professional men of our group. Almost periodically some self-styled author or some magazine editor hits upon the old worn out (at least should be worn out) scheme of publishing so-called biographies of "great" and "foremost" Negro men and women. There are now two fresh moves in this direction. Roscoe C. Bruce, formerly of this city, announces his preparation of "Who's Who in Colored America." The price quoted to see your own face and read your own write-up of yourself in Bruce's "Who's Who", is the modest sum of ten dollars. There seems to be no limit put upon what you may say about "Your Life Career." For some curious reason, though, the publishers wish to have your views as to the late President Harding's Birmingham speech—if you remember anything about it. (No other matter is suggested for discussion). However, for your ten dollars, the publishers generously promise to throw in a copy of the book. Not so modest is the crew (all white seemingly) who have put forward J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, to "edit" a so-called "American Negro Biography." This it seems will include some of the dead and all of the living Negroes who are willing to pay from one hundred dollars to three hundred dollars, according to how classy they will wish to see their faces appear in the book along with the self-write-up. The shame of this whole business is that such publications have neither historical nor inspirational value. What is printed about a man depends upon what he writes about himself. The statements may or may not be true—usually they are either false or exaggerated. There is only one profit that can be gotten out of such publications—the profit to the publishers. (There will perhaps be something given to the Negroes who lend their names in the scheme—prebably very little.) Our people are—or at least should be—tired of reading a lot of bunk about our great achievements, this foremost and that foremost, this wealthy concern and that wonderful institution. For hardly does the ink used in printing such bunk get dry, before some one or more of these great achievements go up in smoke—and when the smoke has cleared away, instead of finding foremost business men we find failures and sometimes thieves and race traitors. The writer recalls the ink and paper wasted to write-up Brown of the True Reformers; the tons of paper wasted to tell us of the great genius of Heman Perry of Standard fame; the thousands of columns wasted to tell us of the financial genius of E. C. Brown, and the great pride which our people had in John Mitchell as the only Negro member of the American Bankers Association, only to learn that not only was Mitchell not a banker, but was disloyal to the trust placed in him by those who had read all the printed bunk about him, and had heard all the glowing tributes spoken about him. And here lies the real danger of all this "Who's Who," these so-called "Biographies" (they are mostly auto-biographies), and other bunk along this line. Our youth read it. Our boys and girls believe it—though we who are close up on the situation may know it all to be hog-wash, if not actual untruth—and these boys and girls feel that to achieve the same greatness and success they should pursue the same methods. Then suddenly, the smash of some idol—and the boy's mind has not only been improperly directed but his faith in his race, and likewise himself, has been destroyed. It is high time that our people stopped setting up false ideals of success before our children. It is time to point to finished deeds—not deeds in process of experimentation—which may topple and fall are the ink gets dry in "Who's Who" or "American Negro Biography." THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF MASONRY The Scottish Rite Masons held their thirteenth triennial session here last week. To all appearances the meeting was a success. Two features both interesting and commendable, present themselves in connection with this council. We find that the organic principle is to restrict membership in this council in such a manner as to make possible a collection of men of the highest calibre, whose function, in fact, is to work, through legislation and regulation, for a betterment of those conditions and things vital to the Race. There is no "be yooing"; nothing but work and more work. For this we congratulate them, and lend our encouragement and best wishes for their success in their worthy but difficult task. It is through such encouragers that we may attain salvation. We hope, the that graft and selfishness may ever be kept a negative factor. SUPPRESSING THE CRIME WAVE In Locarno, the representatives of several Nations, recently met and signed pacts outlawing war with a hope of effecting international peace and tranquillity, while in our own republic crime and lawlessness have been steadily increasing out of proportion to our growth. It is as if one would attempt to purify a stream at is mouth rather than at its source. Crime and lawlessness, according to the best obtainable information, are causing this country a loss of more than two billion dollars and ten thousand lives yearly. This is sufficient reason for alarm. It is apparent that crime and lawlessness are submerging our very national institutions. Life and property are not safe; banditry and brigandage, murder, arson and all forms of crimes of violence are far in excess of any other country on earth and continuing day by day and increasing year by year. What shall we do to SUBDUE it? What shall we do to STOP it? Accurate statistics are wanting; for, out of the forty-eight States, there are only fifteen which make any pretense of securing crime figures. And the majority of these have disconnected and incomplete returns of criminal acts and convictions from the various county prosecuting attorneys. Yet we find that in our largest city, New York, there are 160 murders to every ten in London. We find further that seven of the ten murders in London are punished by hanging, while only one of the 160 in New York goes to the chair. Why does this condition obtain? There is no State in the Union which does not fight crime. Every State is fighting to make itself secure from crimes of violence and the operation of footpads and highwaymen, but fighting these under ancient criminal laws which have out-lived their usefulness. If we hope to SUBDUE this crime wave we must amend these laws, establish cooperation among the police, the prosecutor, the judiciary, the Governor and the Parole Board that justice may not be delayed nor so tempered with mercy as to be injustice. And further, there must be made a thorough, systematic study of the various types of criminals and the conditions and causes which actuate them to commit crime. Religion, despite President Coolidge's suggestion to the contrary, will not bring the desired results; for, in spite of 1925 years of Christianity, crime and lawlessness have increased out of proportion to our growth. We must AWAKE to the painful, mortifying fact that crime is highly organized, and as such must be met and defeated by a no less organized society. We say AWAKE because the great majority of citizens have become deadened and numb—they stand for crime as though they had to stand for it. They do not grasp the magnitude of the danger of the present conditions which exist all over the country. They must be aroused to action. If we wish to STOP the crime wave let's take our children and young men and women from the streets and give them gainful occupation. Their prowling around and loitering in the streets, seeking livelihoods and thrills without visible means of support, make them brides and bride-grooms of crime; aids and abettors of that condition which proclaims this to be "the most lawless country on earth." The demand of the hour in America is for jurors with consciences, judges with courage, jails and prisons without club or resort effect and, above all, parents whose love for their children is not so blind as to let their offspring be members of, nor parties to, the gangs of robbers, thugs and murderers which now hold America in a grip of terror. "Few persons," asserts Hudson Maxim, "do their own pioneer thinking. . . The rarest kind of independent mindness is that coupling of courage with conviction which can pronounce a truth a truth, a fact a fact, when recognized, without the sanction or support of any presumed authority." Mobs are lacking in the capacity of pioneer thought—men and women whose thought and action are sanctioned and fostered by some "presumed authority." More individual "pioneer thinking" means less mob violence; no mob violence, no lynching. The Pullman Company seems willing to make individual, but not collective compromises. Unionism on the part of porters means a couple of million dollars less profit for the company; the lack of it, "hell and damnation" for the porters. The Actors Union and the Theatre Owners Booking Association, recognizing the strength of each other, despite their disagreements at times, are ceaping more benefits with less friction because they have discarded a bit of that selfishness which characterizes the Pullman Company. Protesting against being denied certain rights us citizens and then patronizing theatres, stores, at cetera, which segregate you is like sowing seed among thorns. Your protests are choked. The solvent power of love is mighty. Just as heat changes a solid to a liquid and then to a gas, so love, its spiritual correspondent, is the only force that can fuse and refine the hard conditions of life—New Thought Magazine. Bread and meat and bed satisfy the body, but hospitality appeases the soul. Hospitality, the heritage from our ancestors, meets the Stranger at the door with a hearty Welcome, and bids him Farewell in all sincerity. Criticism is the art wherewith a critic tries to guess himself into a share of an author's, poet's or artist's fame. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" and it is also an asset to good business. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 24. 1925 My People and Other Folks My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON "Life is just one — thing after another," "If never rains, but it pours"; and "Make good and you don't have to make excuses," are axioms that the poor scribe is applying to himself this week. We just got friend wife settled in a semblance of home, and had just about discontinued the constant moving of furniture from one spot to another, and so expected that since we had done a month or more of probation in the office, that now life would be one sweet routine, sans worry, sans overwork. Then came a jury summons to our associate who was forthwith dragged from his part of the chain gang as typified in the office of a newspaper. That left us to be the whole GANG, and wear all the chains. Add to that the humiliation of having all of one's fraternal friends of consequence assembled in the town in SUPREME COUNCIL, and yet not be able to steal as much time as is required or hoped for by a member in good and regular standing of such a body; and you have the foundation for the complexities that beset. Not much time to observe, or to read witty fellows' sayings; but here goes at what little we have seen, read and heard. Four times we have wandered down the big thoroughfare, U Street, Northwest, in search of a personal service business that was not too prosperous to be open at 8:30 a.m., the time when most of us are privileged to seek shaves, haircuts, lead our laundry out, to place our clothes for pressing and anxious to get our shoes shined that we may look well to the world. NOT a NEGRO-OWNED place in those lines has been found open in our period of search on several mornings, otherwise beautiful mornings spoiled for us by disappointment. Of course we found Hebrew, Italian and plain NORDIC open and ready for income-producing business; but you know they are so wretchedly poor that we don't try to place our business with them if we can sustain one of our own folks, even though they may not need it badly enough to get up with the "early bird." Why should THEY want "worms?" A paper tells us that police and army officers have determined to use gas bombs to fight mobs with as a more humane means of suppressing violence. Wonder if our Southern sheriffs are to be supplied right soon. Not that we desire to be humane to lynching parties; but if that will save the subject for a jury trial, it will help some. "The Looking Glass" is the name of a sprightly and well-edited little publication that has made its appearance in New York. Charles D Martin, D.D., is the acknowledged editor, and a highly informed man he is, too, extensively read and much travelled. He is a ripe thinker. Another of the staff is the Ironic Theophilus Lewis, erstwhile member of the "Mesenger" staff. His caracms and clever bits should make the baby weekly popular. Anyhow his stuff will be much pirated by other editors, including this one. O. O. McIntyre, who writes copy for out-of-town papers and sends it from New York, recently had occasion to discuss the servant question. He mentioned eight nationalities—in his story, viz., Finns, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, French, Irish, German and (little "n") Negroes. The paragraph complains that they all quit. Well, even though a great race is not regarded highly enough to be capitalized by flip columnists, it's some satisfaction to know that its representatives were as good at quitting as were the "more favored nations." From his complaining story, one may expect that he will capitalize the next Negro who takes the job. The state of mind that prompts such petty distinctions is what prompts self-respecting employees to do that "quit thing." Such characteristics show in more ways than one Our quasi-philanthropic organizations sure have some secretaries and publicity-dealing fellows with prolific pens. If Negro newspapers published one-half of the long releases that reach them each week, every paper would have to print at least a hundred pages. Most of the stuff has about nine lines of genuine news value, and ninety lines of propaganda that is valuable only to the interest from which it emanates. Our publishers like to help "worthy causes," but they simply must give their public some news, if they hope to sell their papers. Wonder if it ever occurred to these fellows to buy advertising space now and then; or, at least keep the size of their copy within reasonable bounds to save the time of the editors from whom they "sponge" publicity. Hours upon hours are wasted in newspaper offices "boiling down" releases that are predicated upon precisely no income at all. Had the chance of seeing a number of checks of our leading citizens recently. No matter how it happened. That would be betraying a confidence which is not our policy. The big fact is that a mighty small percentage of the bits of paper that represented bank deposits were drawn upon either of our NEGRO-OWNED BANKS; and, many of them were signed by men and women whom we have listened to as they preached and lectured about "the Race sticking together" and other "helping hand" ideas. Yes, we have put our mite into collections that some of them sponsored. When does one become too big to be expected to patronize Negro institutions? Don't crowd in with answers, for we are very busy just now. The Sales-person The discussion herein is the first presented in this column by a woman sented in this column by a woman. At the time the article was written some weeks ago, the author was employed in the Reid's Music Store an institution that has been so successful as to encourage its owners to take on another merchandise line in adjoining quarters. Intelligent sales service has without doubt contributed to the employer's progress. After all, no store could rise beyond the owners personal chance to care for his business unless capable clerks can be found. SALESMANSHIP IN A MUSIC STORE By Florence Rogers Murray The general qualities of any salesman have been discussed previously in this column, namely: a thorough knowledge of the articles to be sold an understanding of human nature and the personality of the salesman Every good salesman must be endowed with these virtues. Music is the most extensive of all arts; for, whereas, a comparatively few of us appreciate literature, painting, and sculpture, nearly all of us enjoy some type of music. I am reminded of Shakespeare's words: "The man who has no music in himself. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treasions, strategem and spoils; Let no such man be trusted." Since we handle all types of music in the business with which I am connected, we must put emphasis on the consideration of the tastes of our various customers. When, as is often the case, some buyer enters, not knowing what he wants, we must be able to strike the "pitch" of his soul Listz's "Liebestraum," played for a "Salty Dog" patron, may mean the loss of that customer, and vice-versa. Furthermore, "Purple Twilight," or even "Don't Bring Luu," provokes a scornful shrug from the "Jail-House Blues" lover. Our value in sabermanship is enhanced by a familiarity with all sorts of musical numbers. There are those who desire to buy a particular piece of music and know nothing about it except a certain phrase of the music, which they proceed to hum (often in false tones), or a certain phrase of the words, which they proceed to quote (often incorrectly). We are expected to be able to recall the title of the selection wanted. This is not only true of popular numbers, but also of classical. Thus far, I have considered sheet music chiefly. So, let us look into the selling of phonograph records. It is up to the musical clerk to learn the details concerning the releases of the records. We must know the artists employed by the various companies what they sing or play and how they appeal to the public. To locate a record by knowing its artist or artists is often our quickest means. In order to give a better idea of our experiences, let me quote a few questions and statements, types of which are continually put to us: "What is Bessie Smith's latest song?" "What Bluer Singers are with the Okeh Company now?" "I want a popular hit played by Leo Reisman's orchestra." "Which orchestra has that Negro cornetist in it?" "I want 'Yearning' sung by a baritone." "Does Cliff Edwards play for the Columbia Company?" Truly, there is so much to be said concerning this line of work, because of the intricacies of music, that even I, one of the lowest of amateurs, could write an endless discussion about it. But, since I have been assigned a small space only, and may be boring the readers already, I shall cease before I ruin the very business that I am anxious to promote. James B. Spraffley is now traveling supervisor for the National Benefit Insurance Company. He is a live wire insurance salesman. His wife is located with him in Washington. They moved in from Ohio where has was a field man. W. H. Reid of Daytona, Fla.; S. L. Nelson of West Palm Beach, and R. N. Smith of Covington.Va. have joined the staff of the L. H. Fisher Sales Company of Washington, D. C. While selling in any line is based upon exact fundamental principals, the selling of any given line requires a definite knowledge of the goods handled, its market and the trade practices of the line. Connections too, are needed in seeking markets. Some day, our high pressure fellows who have mastered one line will realize this. The fewer will get rich in one business only to be failures in one they know not of. Y. M. C. A. CONFERENCE DRAWS IMPORTANT GROUP OF SOCIAL WORKERS John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general; Mrs. Mary McCloud Bethune, and Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, were the principal speakers at the public meeting of the conference on colored Y. M. C. A. work at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church on Thursday night. An evening sessio nwas held Wednesday night at John Wesley Church with Dr. W. T. Nelson, of Cincinnati presiding, Kelly Miller, Howard University was the principal speaker. Dr J. R. E. Moorland and Channing Tohm international secretaries, also spoke. The Rev. M. Ashbie Jones pastor of the Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., and chairman of the interracial relationship committee, spoke of religion "as a means, not an end." Mme. Lillian Evanti (Lillian Evans Tibbs) coloratura soprano appears in a recital, Tuesday, October 27 at 8:15 oclock at Lincoln Theatre in one of the great musical events of the season. She returns to France immediately after engagements in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places closing a short tour in her home town. Indications point to a record crowd at the Lincoln and if well planted publicity means anything at all people will be turned away on that day. We should give Mme. Evanti the greatest possible reception because this is her home town. She has won her spurs on sheer merit unreservedly. She possesses all the qualifications of an artist and has obtained some recognition abroad. Washington will greet her with delight. Paul Robeson has released two late spirituals for the Victor Record Company, "Steal Away" and "Bye and Bye." Robeson is accompanied by Lawrence Brown. The next time you buy a record think of Robeson's records, another race artist making fame in the world of music. John Harvey Hebron of Philadelphia seems to be a genius as a composer. His compositions so far include a violin and piano sonata, five preludes for piano, trio for piano, violin and 'cello, string quartet, vocal and violin selections and a concertalse. We would suggest that Hebron take a boat to France where opportunities await the talented and not remain where his light is hidden under a bushelhel and anon. Even white musicians go abroad for the selfsame purpose and it works every time, most assuredly so. Sail the high seas, my brother!

Never since the Dred Scott decision has democracy in these United States been threatened with such peril as it is at this very hour. In seventeen cities, mostly in the North, the vicious scheme of residential segregation has made such inroads upon the contractural and personal rights of the Negro that Courts in Washington and other cities have justified the invasion, and mobs, thus encouraged, are now violating the sanctity of the home, which, under every system of government and law, a man has the undisputed right to defend at any cost. In Detroit, the home of pleasant race relationships for decades, Dr. Sweet, a brilliant young physician from our own Howard University, desired a better home. The mob came, stoned his home, trampled his lawn, and trespassed on his porch. In fear of death some one fired, killing one member of the mob. Not a single one of that unlawful assembly was arrested, but eleven of the inmates of the invaded home, including a cultured young mother, were charged with first degree murder and denied bail. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has retained Clarence Darrow, the greatest criminal lawyer in America, to defend the case, for it can take no chances in such a crisis. Mr. Samuel Brown of Staten Island, New York, father of four children and clerk of the postoffice, is guilty of the same aspiration. He purchases a home.

He is a Washington boy, and married a young colored teacher in the Staten Island schools. Dr. Charles Garvin, of Cleveland, Ohio, another Howard graduate, has made such phenominal success in his profession that he purchased in a well-to-do neighborhood, and began building. The mob has told him that he cannot live there, and has subjected him to severe threats. He declares his intention of exercising that fundamental fight to live and move as he pleases. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. p. will hold a meeting on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Street N. W., at which time Mr. Brown will tell his tragic story, and Mr. Walter White, whom the Association sent to Detroit to make a thorough investigation of the case of the eleven martyrs, will give us the result. With these cases lost, the entire Negro race loses, yes, the white man, too, if his warped vision could only let him see it. Just for Fun ANGRY WIFIE: You've just a big liar, that's all.

One SOCIAL & PERSONAL HOTEL RESERVATIONS CLEANED UP FOR HOWARD-LINCOLN GAME Mrs. Parthenia Compton entertain on last Tuesday evening her Five Tribune to Give Service for Reservation Seekers Phila., Pa., 1617 Lombard St. After a careful investigation of housing accommodations in this city for out-of-town visitors to the Howard-Lincoln football classic on Thanksgiving Day we have found that the Hotels will not be able to render any thing like a supply of reservations in comparison with the unusually heavy demand. Upon ascertaining this fact we have sought around and finally have gotten interest enough aroused in some of the best families as to the condition of affairs to the extent that beginnin next wede, The Tribune will furnish in its comms advertised lists of reputable stopping places during this period. These homes will have our official O.K. and your arrangements for reservations can be made directly through The Tribune Office, 920 U St. or addressing a card requesting such to Chas, S. Johnson, Philadelphia Agency, Washington Tribune, 161, Lombard Street. Remember, information and arrangements will be made free of any charge. DR. WHIPPER RESUMES PRACTICE Dr. Ionia R. Whipper of 511 Florida Avenue, the woman physician in the diseases of women and children who has for the past six years been in the Children's Bureau of the Department of labor, and whose reports on surveys of health conditions throughout the country have become authoritative government documents is again at her home where she will resume the private practices she abandoned in the interest of a greater service to her race and country during the war. Miss Whipper, a Howard graduate is one of the few nationally known women medical practitioners of our group; and it required a high sense of duty for one to accept a government appointment, of even such high types as was hers at the sacrifice of a clientele so large as washers, however, in all probability most of them will restore their patronage, and will have greatly augmented the numbers who call at her well equipped offices because of having done such effective service while away from it. WEDDING ANNOUNCED Announcement is made of the coming nuptials of Mr. William Prathe, and Miss Mary Ola Claney, daughter of Mrs. Sophronia Chaney, 2005 12th Street, N.W.

Smith College BASKETBALL Smith's 60 Yard Run Features Close Game Smith's 60 Yard Run Features Close Game By Louis R. Lautier The Howard eleven emerged victorious from its game with Johnson C. Smith College, of Charlotte, N.C., last Saturday afternoon on the university campus, by a score of 9 to 0. Victory Fails to Enthuse It was not such a victory, however, that enthused the followers of the Blue and White, especially with West Virginia Collegiate, Wilberforce and Lincoln in the offing. Howard had the edge, but the North Carolinians played them to a standstill. The score should have been 3 to 0. But luck favored the home boys, and "Tick" Smith intercepted a forward pass when it looked as if the overhead game would carry the visitors to victory, and made a brilliant run for the lone Howard touchdown. Howard Ricks On Johnson C. Smith won the toss. Howard kicked off. The ball was put in play on the Johnson C. Smith 15-yard line. On the fourth down Johnson C. Smith punted. Howard was held for downs and punted. In the second quarter Howard resorted to passes. "Red" Tyson completed a pass to Dan Brown. He and Brown then went through the line for small gains. From the 30-yard line Payne drop-kicked a field goal. Johnson C. Smith then countered with an aerial attack, using a short pass, which Howard had difficulty in breaking up. Cavines sand McKeaton had the knack of throwing the pigskin as if it were a baseball. The half ended with the two teams fighting determinedly in mid-field. Forward Passing Costly In the third quarter, Johnson C. Smith kicked off. Dodson ran the ball back from the 15-yard to the 45-yard line. A Howard pass was intercepted. Johnson C. Smith completed a pass for 10 yards and followed with another short pass, putting the ball on their 40-yard line. The North Carolinians attempted another forward pass. "Tick" Smith intercepted it and made a 50-yard dash for the lone touchdown of the game. Payne missed the try for the extra point. Howard tried desperately but vainly to add another touchdown to the score in the fourth quarter. Payne went through the line for 9 yards and then again for another yard, making a first down. Brown gained 10 yards through off-tackle twice in succession, making three first downs. Payne completed a forward pass to Smith, putting the ball on the Johnson C. Smith 15-yard line. Brown went over the line of scrimmage for 4 yards. Payne did the same thing or 3 yards. Brown fumbled. John son C. Smith recovering the ball. The North Carolinians punted out from behind their goal line. McLean was substituted for Payne. Misses Field Goal Howard, off-side, was penalized 5 yards. Brown gained 4 yards and 7 yards on two plays through off-tackle Tyson was substituted for Brown. He failed to gain. Coles was sent in for McLean. Coles attempted a dropkick for a field goal on the fourth down but missed. Howard(9) J. C. Smith(0) Long L.E. Dockery V.B.Smith L.T. L. Steele Hall L.G. Alston Martin Cener Buttle Webb R.G.

C., October 19—Sweeping on like a hurricane, and fighting mad, the Union Panther outwitted and outbattled the Shaw Bear by a score of 7 to 3 in a hectic and spectacular grid encounter Saturday amid sunshine, rain and darkness before a frenzied and colorful array of grid fans. One of the greatest football clashes ever staged here or in C. I. A. A. circles, held a host of football enthusiasts spellbound, as "Jimmy" Shields, Union's backfield ace, dashed 35 yards to Shaw's 4-yard line. Breaux carrying the ball over and kicking the extra point. The excited crowd got more thrills as Martin place-kicked a field goal for Shaw, and Tobin, Union's star center, Boffman, Smith and Morgan flashed brilliantly in spectacular runs. All the technique and fineness of Eastern football as taught by Coach H. D. Martin, formerly of Norwich University (N.H.) was matched against the grid-iron strategy as diligently tutored by T. W. Harvey Union's mentor, Washburn College (Kans.); and Western football won. Directly after the referee's whistle started the game, Shaw opened up a determined offensive, Martin, formerly of Union and Lincoln, doing most of the running. Shaw advanced the ball to Union's 19 yard-line and Martin missed a trial at drop-kicking goal. Shields made a 25-yard broken-field run; W. A. Smith and Boffman hit the line for gains, while Chambers of Shaw was out-punting Washington, Boffman zig-zagged 25 yards, but Union was penalized 15 yards for holding. Shaw advanced ball to 12-yard line. A 4-yard pass was complete and Martin made a placement kick 8 yards from goal line. Pitts and Buffin, Union's ends worked hard Boffman received kick-off and ran 15 yards. Union backs worked the ball back up the field, with Downing, Merritt, and Capt. Houston opening up holes. Breaux was punting hard. Morgan, a flashy back, could not be stopped. Near the end of the first half, Shields got Chambers' pount on Shaw's 37-yard line and raced 33 yards to 4-yard line. Breaux carried the ball over and kicked the extra point. "Old Man Pluvius" stepped in and made a slushy field so that the second half was featured by slipping, fumbling, many penalties and unsteady running in the mud. Carrington imported from Boston, ran the Shaw team well. Boffman totaled 20-yards in 4 successive plunges over Capt. Houston's tackle. Shaw made last-minute aerial attack which failed. McClaren . . .

FOOTBALL STELLAR ATTRACTIONS Wilberforce Univ. vs. Howard Univ. Friday, November 6, 1925 Atlanta Univ. vs. Howard Univ. Friday, November 13, 1925 BOTH GAMES TO BE PLAYED AT AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK; 2:30 P.M. GENERAL ADMISSION (each game) .....$1.00 BOXES .....$1.50 Official Interprets Hurdling Line Rule Official Interprets Hurdling Line Rule By Dr. Edwin B. Henderson In the best college football circles, few players have a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the rules. A great many coaches in conference find that their interpretations vary, but officials working in certain sections of the country should aim to come to some uniform interpretation and understanding of the rules. There is organized in this vicinity, "The Eastern Board of Officials" of which the writer is chairman. This group meets regularly each week and has succeeded in ironing out many problems of officiating. We extend to budding officials, coaches and interested parties invitation to our rule discussion sessions. This would serve to make for a general appreciation of plays on the grid-iron each week by coach, writer, and officials. In the game here last week between Howard and Johnson C, Smith, a few interesting situations arose. Hurdling is defined as jumping with both knees or both feet foremost. If one foot is ahead or one knee, or if the head of the jumper is ahead of his feet or knees, the jump is permissible. In other words a track hurdle is legitimate. Hurdling is, however an opinion of the referee and standing back of the line he cannot always determine the hurdle and must rely upon the linesman who is on line usually with the jumping back. The fair catch is spectacular. When a player running towards a ball clearly signals with his hand above his head, no opponent can interfere with or throw him after the catch. If such happens a fifteen-yard penalty is enacted. One such penalty was enforced Saturday and on another occasion a back after making his catch slid forward into the arms of an opposing tackler and fell but no penalty was inflicted as the rule, in the opinion of the referee, was not violated in letter or spirit by runner or tackler. tackler. In other fields we heard of 25 yards being given for unnecessary roughness, 15 yards for defensive-side holding on a running play, 15 yards for a player talking to an incoming substitute who was simply attentive, and a ball was given B team when A team kicked on the fourth down and the ball was blocked behind the kicker's goons, and officers are likely to err. Even the best apt are apt to misjudge or misinterpret, but conferences and a discussion of the possibilities of various formations and plays will do much to increase our field of competent men. Lincoln's Opponents Fail to Show Up Lincoln University, Pa., Oct. 19—The Ward Athletic Club, which was scheduled to play Lincoln University here last Saturday failed to appear. This was a great disappointment, as the coaches hoped to get their charges in fine trim for the Lincoln-Wilberforce game at Wilberforce on Saturday. Coach Young, however, put his men through a hard scrimmage and believes that they are ready for Wilberforce. Normals Trounce Durham State Petersburg, Va., Oct. 19—On a field made slow by constant rain, Virginia Normal earned a 14-0 victory over the Durham State Normal here last Sat urday. The first touchdown was made by Eps in the second quarter. With the ball on their own 20-yard line, Durham punted to the Va. Normal 40-yard line, the ball taking a bad hop over Eps' heads and rolling to the Va. Normal 20-yard line. Eps recovered and ran the ball back 20 yards.

We were out-played and the victory certainly rests with the better team. Such is the fortune of war. The following is not at all in the nature of an alibi, we could have none, but in the interest of better officiating and fair sports. "In the first quarter, Gibson, of Dunbar, was charged with unnecessary roughness and a distance penalty of twenty-five yards was inflicted. According to the rules as expressed in rule 21 section 5, the penalty for this foul is only fifteen yards. Why the twenty-five? At another time when Douglass was in possession of the ball Dunbar was guilty of holding and a distance penalty of fifteen yards imposed. According to rule 16, section 1 (b), the penalty for holding by the side not in possession of the ball, is five yards. Why so generous? "At the beginning of the second half, Dunbar requested the privilege of using a dry ball. The referee said that he had no objection but the captain of the Baltimore team must give his consent. The permission was not granted. Rule 2 (note) states very clearly that—"In the case of a wet field the ball may be changed for a new one at the end of the second period at the discretion of the Referee." There is nothing there which gives either captain the right to refuse a dry ball for the second half BAN BANK 80 Sowing the Seeds For a Contented Future It's all right to enjoy life es.

ALEXANDER, Gradkate Manager, 48 Webster Pl., Orange, N.J. "At another time when Baltimore tried a field goal the ball struck the cross-bar and bounded back into the field of play. The captain of Douglass claimed and the referee was about to decide that this was a safety for Dumbar counting two points for Douglass. Captain of Dunbar objected and a rule book was produced. The Referee then said that it was no safety and was not quite sure to whom the ball should belong. He finally decided that it was Dunbar's ball at the spot where it was dead. According to rule, 6 section 15—"If a ball is kicked from the field of play and strikes the goal posts or cross bar before being touched by a player of either side it shall be considered a touchback." The touchback does not add to the score of either team and the ball is put in play on the 20-yard line. "I have no desire to detract one bit from the work of the Douglass High team. Every boy played well and deserved to win but such penalties and the lack of knowledge of the rules as shown by the above facts do not help." Virginia Seminary Loses to Aggies 8-0 Virginia Seminary Loses to Aggies 8-0 Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 19—A sloppy, muddy field and a slippery ball spelled defeat for Virginia Seminary by the North Carolina A. and T. College eleven here last Saturday. The score was 8 to 0. Seminary kicked off and held the Aggies for downs on their 35-yard line. Whedbee fumbled and was hurt in an attempt to recover the ball. The Aggies recovered the fumble and were held for downs. Whedbee attempted to kick and in a dazed condition, fumbled again, but recovered on the 1-foot line. Whedbee was carried from the field unconscious and remained in a stupor for several hours. The Aggies blocked a Seminary kick and covered the ball for a touchdown. Seminary elected to receive. Watson and Brown carried the ball to the Aggies' 8-yard line. An intercepted pass stopped the advance of the Virginians. The Aggies then kept the ball in the visitors' territory for the remainder of the quarter by kicking. A bad pass by the Seminary center resulted in a Seminary kicker being tackled behind their goal line for a safety. The heavy downpour of rain made the ball hard to handle, and both teams fumbled repeatedly. Both teams showed strong defenses. © 88 e and all that it posses- carefree to-day --- come now.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Rev. C. C. Williams, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church and his wife, entertained several local pastors and three Bishops at an elaborate dinner at the parsonage 1123 23rd St. N. W. Tuesday of this week. The occasion marked the 37th birthday anniversary of the esteemed young pastor. Those present were Bishops E. D. W. Jones, Geo. C. Clement, C. C. Alleyne, Dr. W. D. Battle, H. T. Medford, E. B. Watson, O. L. Rand, and F. R. Killinswo, Dr. Williams, was the recipient of many congratulations and numberous other more tangible tokens of appreciation. LINCOLN THEATRE Wesley Barry, Harriet Hammond, and Crauford Kent in a Stirring Tale of Love and Adventure at Annapolis "CHOCOLATE DANDIES" The fact is not to be questioned that "Chocolate Dandies" is the smartest, and snappiest musical comedy of a decade, meriting this reputation by its ability to entertain without being offensive. And when the curtains rise on this show Monday matinee, 2:30 at the Howard Theatre beginning its week's engagement, you will behold a big production with a luxurious cast of golden brown beauties and chocolate-hued dandy boys who are all artists. Every one should see "Chocolate Dandies." The plot is ingenius, but to tell it would be to spoil the pleasure of those who go to see it. There are many surprises and unusual situations. There is not one moment from the first to the fourteenth scene that the humor will not have the audience roaring with laughter. Every part will be played by a finished artist and the most captious will not find fault with a single delineation. The sensible point of this show is to secure your seats well in advance and avoid disappointment, as this can be considered a colorful event from many angles. This is the first appearance of "Chocolate Dandies" in Washington, and more wonderful still, the management left open no excuses for anyone being unable to attend, by giving matinees daily at 2:30 and charging the sum of 15 cents and 25 cents; for the night performance at .815, only 50 cents for reserve seats on the lower floor which you can buy in advance or order by calling North 1094. The balcony is not reserved but the small sum of 30 cents will get it. If you really want good shows at small prices now is the time to cast your vote at the Howard box office and encourage the efforts of a hustling management. For your information, we also add that the Howard is all-union again—operators, stage hands and musicians. And remember, there is a mid-night show Friday night. And your last chance, if you are busy all week, is to see the matinee every Sunday at 3 p.m. ROSALIA THEATRE REGENERATION STEVE REYNOLDS the only one-legged Negro actor in the film profession.

James Oliver Curwood's Latest Picture "Steele of the Royal Mounted," the Vitagraph picture that opens at the Rosalia Theatre, no Sunday and Monday, is an adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's story of adventure in the Far North. The cast includes Berr Lytell, Stuart Holmes, Charlotte Merriam, Mabel Julienne Scott, Sydney De Grey and John Toughey. It is a David Smith production. On Tuesday, Marie Prevest in "Kiss Me Again," the new Warner picture that is playing at the Rosalia Theatre this week, is convinced that love cannot live in marriage, so she turns to John Roche, leaving her husband, Monte Blue out in the cold. But, he fools her and concocts a plan to teach her a lesson that is nothing short of a wow! On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Wolf, who plays the title role in "Baree, Son of Kazan," will be seen at the Rosalia Theatre. He is probably the most remarkable dog alive. He is a World War hero and a wearer of the Croix de Guerre. This decoration was pinned to his collar by Marshall Foch himself, that occasion being the only one on which a dog was ever personally decorated by a French marshall. BROADWAY Harold Bell Wright, World's Greatest Author With Another Screen Masterpiece at the Broadway. Sunday and Monday the Broadway Theatre will present Harold Bell Wright's greatest novel on the screen "The Recreation of Brian Kent." A powerful love story of a man who hoped; one woman who loved, and another woman who didn't care. We all know of Harold Bell Wright as an author because we remember such great pictures as "When A Man's A Man," "The Mine With the Iron Door," and many others, the stories being read by millions every day. And then to think last but not least, the wonderful cast including Kenneth Harlan, HeleneChadwick, Mary Carr, Zasu Pitts, Rosemary Theby, T. Roy Barnes and Ralph Lewis. Tuesday will settle the question of a woman's right to horse-whip her own husband in case of broken faith with May McAvoy as the star. Wednesday and Thursday, Thos. Meighan, assisted by Lila Lee, in "Old Home Week," while the week will end with the sensation of the 1925 product, "Speed." There is mail for the following persons in the Tribuhe office.

WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY MILTON SILLS CHILDREN'S PAGE FEATURES Eddie Lemon, comedian with "Runin' Wild," playing this week at the Globe Theater, Cleveland, Ohio, writes an interesting letter concerning the experiences the show had on one nighters in Ohio. A surprising feature of the week was the fact that in the towns where they despaired of obtaining hotel accommodations, that they were cordially received and in two towns actually invited into white hotels while they were standing about wondering where they might go for the day. Eddie closes with the verse comment, "I believe that we often Jim Crow ourselves by our own state of mind without reason thereby lenying ourselves of accommodations that might be had for the asking." Very true, my boy, say we who have done much traveling. Have just seen a letter from Greenlee and Drayton who have been corresponding with Captain Gibson of the Washington Fire Department, from Tinkov, Germany. Johnnie Lee Long's company played a successful week at the Lincoln Theater, New York, according to a letter from Single Herman Brown. Teddy, Smith and Hazel write from the Palace Theater, Norfolk, Va. They have been doing nicely in the Tidewater towns. Now comes a letter from Mildred Scott with the "Silas Green" show, playing thru Mississippi. Our little Clarksburg, Va., artist is on of the loyal many upon whom the Page rely for news and active interest. Mrs. William Mills, wife of the famous comedian, Billy Mills, now with the "Brown Skin Beauty Revue," playing at the Lafayette Theatre, New York passed away in her Philadelphia home on Sunday October 18. Of course, Billy was obliged to hasten home, and is out of the cast for a time. He has the sympathy of the Profession and of the Deacons. Due to the illness of Mr. Spiller, owner and star of the Musical Spillers, and the illness of the cornetist of the act, the engagement at the Howard Theatre, Washington, was cancelled for the week. The others of the eleven people act laying off in New York pending the recovery of the sick members. Percy Howell was obliged to continue his fair dates after the killing Penn. Fair and come to Washington because of a serious case of biliousness that kept him confined for two weeks. He is now convalescing and since hethz has prevented his continuing the fair tour, he will when he is fully recovered launch a tabloid company to be rehearsed in this city. Gus Smith closes his tour of Canadian towns on October 24 to go into Boston where he will spend a week rehearsing with the additional people needed to bring his show up to a company of twenty-two. The tabloid has been booked for a series of dates out of the K. & E. offices. Coy Herndon has been in New Orleans, and with his return last week to the "Silas Green" show, the company has gone into the rehearsal of a new edition. "Jolly" John Larkin who has been in the antipodes for the past eight years, but is now in New York, will soon be seen in vaudeville. It is rumored that he will open in Wash.ington. Review of show at Howard this Week Review of show at Howard this Week Louis B. Lautier The effect of the change in management of the Howard Theatre was seen in the bill which was presented this week. From the photoplay to the final curtain, it was entertaining and pleasing to the large audience which witnessed the performance. Cooper and Thomas, dancing dandies, opened the bill. They got a big hand. Sam Davis, a monologist, followed. After putting over some funny stories, he sang a ballad, both of which brought him loud applause. The intentible Gertrude Saunders had the third place on the bill. She sang a number of popular songs and one character song. She was encored repeatedly. Eddie Hunter and George W. Cooper, local favorites, did a comedy skit, which recalled the days of their musical comedy success, "How Come." Cooper sang "Leaping Leopards." They drew laugh after laugh. Gibson's T. O. B. A. Revue closed the show. Baby Corinne and Little Albert were the features. They got the act over with their dancing. A new orchestra—union musicians—were in the pit Monday night for the first time since last March. This is one of the improvements which Jimmie Cooper promises the patrons of the Howard Theatre. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE "Lucky Sambo" is Having Lots of Luck "Lucky Sambo," the next all-colored attraction due to play Washington on the Columbia Burlesque circuit, seems to have hit its stride after a number of revisions in cast and program since the show opened on the time. Al Watts, the stage manager, has wrought well, and now that the show is "Set" the press comments concerning it are mighty pleasant reading. The Albany Knickerbocker says of it: "Lucky Sambo" Scores Big Hit at Capitol "Lucky Sambo" rates as the best colored show that has ever played in Albany at any tariff. It has more of the real spirit of the Negro; more of his happy-go-lucky character; his droll humor and his melody than "Shuffle Along" in its palmiest days. There are two colored comics in Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd who sent constant waves of laughter through the Capitol last night. The repartee when both are lodged in jail threatened to roll some patrons out of their seats with laughter. The hotel scene was another riot for Billy Higgins. Julia Moody is a good blues singer and there was a female trio in adaptations of spirituals that had some fine harmony. The solos of Ernest Whitman were enjoyed, and the specialities in the last scene were all of the best. The chorus steps a fast Charleston and sings with all possible vim and tunefulness. It is a priceless Negro show and anyone who enjoys the Negro in song or in humor will find "Lucky Sambo" entirely to his taste. The Senecene Gazette confirms the Albany critic in these words: People of this city who attend burlesque shows and those who do not should have been among those present at the initial performance of "Lucky Sambo," the offering at the Van Curler Theatre the first three days of this week. Nordic claims to the contrary notwithstanding those colored boys and girls put over a musical show that was worth three times the price of admission. It would not be amiss to say that about 45 or 50 people were in the show, which is one of the fastest mov- Twinkling feet and 'everything else that a show of that kind should have. People have said they would like to see something different from the ordinary run of burlesque. This week's show is the remedy. Max Michaels, who was a special agent and critic for the Mutual wheel shows last season and who made his headquarers in this city, has changed his allegiance and is the manager of this colored troupe. Max was on hand yesterday to receive congratulations from all his friends on being manager of the best show on the Columbia wheel this season. An audience composed of about 600 women and the remainder men until the house was packed to capacity, greeted the show yesterday afternoon. The thing was described on the program as black lightning. It was. It was unusual for burlesque or any other attraction but on the opening number yesterday the artists were called back four times. This happened frequently through the show. And another unusual thing—the audience applauded heartily the scenic effects in one of the numbers. The cast of the show includes: Al F. Watts, Hilda Perleno, Berleana Blanks, Arthur Porter, Billy Higgins, Joe Byrd, Julia Moody, Amanda Randolph, Billy Ewing, Ernest R. Whitman, Nina Hunter, Virginia Wheeler, Goo, Phillips. The Black Diamond Speed Chorus—Girls—Adele Williams, Lillian Williams, Adelaide Jones, Anita Alexander, Virginia Wheeler, Albertina Conley, Grace Michaels, Julia Robinson, Dorothy Wilson, Julia Roberta Lowry, Ruth Lambert, Marion Gee, Edna Gee, Edna Young, Elese Fisher, Ethel Taylor, Lolita Hall, Marie Fraine, Linda Nicholson, Esther Hunt. Boys—George Phillips, Charles Saltus, Joe Wilson, John Alexander, Edward Shinault, George Nanton, Sherman Darkson, Sam Burnham, George Bagby. These criticisms are presented as an act of justice to the members of a very capable company, all fine people, because when it appears in Washington some weeks hence, the editor of this paper will be obliged to forego the pleasure of seeing them because they are booked into a segregated house. Self respect surmounts even these friendships of years' standing with some of the show, and positive affection for Mr. Michaels, the manager, who is a real man and a gentleman. BISHOP COMPANY OF LAFAYETTE PLAYERS OPENS SEASON IN NASHVILLE. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 19—The Lafayette Players with Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond the owners, starring, opened its season at the Bijou theater. The company is presenting two bills each week making the changes on Thursday night, and doing matinees on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The opening piece was "The Havoc" and the second hall production is "The Climax." The Washington Tribune News of Theaters, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements The Deacons MORRIS MADE GRAND MASTER In recent annual communication of the Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. Masons of Virginia, held in Richmond, Rev. S. S. Morris, Gen. Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church, was elected Most Worshipful Grand Master. The Grand Lodge celebrated its 50th anniversary with elaborate exercises. The Governor of the State, the Mayor of the city of Richmond and Illustrious Masons from Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina and Tennessee, were present and spoke. He automatically becomes a member of the supervising Grandmasters of the Deacons. The boys will be governed accordingly. The National secretary has met the new G. M. and he is a fine fellow of broad fellowship views. The Deacons have just been signally honored. W. C. Kilpatrick, the assistant national secretary, and Sammy Graham, a travelling Circuit Rider, have been elevated to the rank of Honorary members of the Supreme Council of the 33rd degree, and last degree of A. A. S. R. Masonry. Inability to be present, obliged several other professionals to miss being presented for the same distinction. National vice-president, Al Wells, and Jules McGarr, president of the Colored Actors Union, with Henri Bowman were slated; but Wells is playing in Canada, McGarr in Chicago and Bowman is doing dates out of New York. None of them could be present without sacrificing the time and work of associates so they have foregone the honor in the interest of their associate professionals. Among the Supreme Council members who have joined the Deacons while in session in Washington were Ill. Peers Marshall Clay of Lexington, Ky.; and Messrs. Carper and Campbell of Charleston, W. Va.; both deputies and high Masons, important nationally. The Cincinnati Corner has sent in a request for thirty blanks. Sounds promising for the Queen City of the River. The new application blanks are ready for distribution. Senior Deacons and other authorized officers will obtain the supply for their respective use by addressing the National Secretary at 920 U Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Ill. C. L. Banks, 33 degree, director of a band and orchestra with headquarters at 1032 Willow Street, Oakland is named as the Senior Deacon for corner number 3 in the California City, subject to the approval of Western Vice-President L. P. Richardson of San Francisco. OPENS NEW YORK OFFICE Oscar Micheaux, president of the Micheaux Film Corporation has opened offices at the "Corner of Harlem," at 135th Street and Seventh Avenue. Swan Micheaux, his brother has again joined the organization and comes from Chicago to handle details of the business. The company has fifteen films on the market with Mr. Majors of Baltimore, former business manager of the "Observer" touring in charge of sales. Evelyn Preer stars five of the pictures, Andrew Bishop one of them and Paul Robeson is seen in one. The latter "Body and Soul" being the latest release. A number of these will be seen in Washington theatres very soon. In fact one of the films is now in the city awaiting its showing date. J. I. Dodson Joins the Clarence Williams Music Company J. I. Dotson, former advertising manager of the Black Swan Phonograph Company, is now identified in the same capacity with the Clarence Williams' Music Publishing Company. Dotson is formerly from Texas, where he was at one time with the "Dallas Express" and later was managing editor of a Progressive Weekly at Fort Worth, Texas. He also managed a successful tour of the Black Swan Troubadours, featuring Ethel Waters in 1922, and the Mamie Smith's Revue, paying $1500 a performance for this famous star and her aggregations' southern tour, clearing quite a handsome sum from the venture, proving good showmanship and his knowledge of advertising. He will busy himself in the next few weeks in launching an extensive advertising campaign for the Clarence Williams' Company. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1925 N'S THEA Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Clu Do the Union Members Mean Business? One wonders if the Negro performer really means business when, he starts out to right his wrongs, and to improve the status of his profession. There have been many meetings, brilliant speeches and stirring and glowing promises have been uttered. Even an official paper has been started and the Union has committed itself to maintaining a mouthpiece. All of this has been well and good. BUT TALK DOES LITTLE BUSINESS unless backed with active financial support. A lot of the fellows who have ample money with which to "spread joy" forget to pay the balance of their dues. A lot more of them fail to pay the fellow who loaned them the money for their initiation; and yet more think that the newspaper that prints their news needs only one of those "Take my pen in hand to wish you success" kind of letters. It's time to wake up and realize that the success of any movement for improvement must be met by those who are to benefit. If the actors want better conditions they must pay the price for them, and not in just talk either. Wake up, preformers, and get busy. The Pullman Porters treasury, started a year after you, by men, who earn less money, is right now bigger than yours. Think that over. Howard Replaces Non-Union Crews Last Monday, "Jimmie" Cooper through his manager Lew Leslie replaced the non-union orchestra in the house with a Union organization; and on next Monday, the Union stage crew that walked out of the house last spring will resume duties there and the road call that has rested against the Theatre will be called off. Paul Chaney becomes stage manager. Sam Hobson will have charge of properties, Clarence Hawkins is the new flyman, Edward Henderson, electrician and Frank Anderson the operator. The first effort of the orchestra to play theatrical music did not seem to appeal to either performers or patrons last Monday night, and it isization up to the desired stature more extended familiarity with the type of work required, and with cues may improve the work. Handy Catalogue Full of Big Numbers The Handy Brothers Publishing Company, has just released the fall list of song and orchestra numbers that the big Blues house is marketing this season. In all seventy numbers are listed. Some of them are the old favorites which the public, by its continued purchases, insists upon being re-issued each season, and quite a few new novelties that are bound to make the folks notice them this season.

Last week three shows played it the same day—"Huntington Mighty Minstrels" with Jolly Davis, better known as "Sweet Papa Snow Ball"; the "Sugar Foot Green from New Orleans, and the "Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey" cirus—while twelve miles away the Charles Collier's Original Silas Green From New Orleans" company played. The Ringlings was packed, Huntington Minstrels packed Sugar Foot Company played to five hundred paid admissions and the Original Silas Green Company turned them away. I visited both minstrel shows and spent as much time as a sore leg would permit. What impressed me most was the star o the Huntington Minstrels—Jolly Davis—who is a star in every sense that the word implies. To begin with he has a large typed eight sheet advertising him as "The Prince of Good Fellows, Meet Him." There are thousands who have met him, and know him. In certain territory his name is a household word, and he is the prince of good fellows. Besides getting a star's salary, he occupies a state room and his contract calls for his wife to travel with him and do nothing but keep his company which she does. His health determines when the show shall open and close and his presence means financial success. He is a very pleasant fellow to meet and once you meet him, you will never forget him. "Silas Green From New Orleans" is fifty strong with Ford Wiggins, Coy Herndon, Gresheim and Gresheim, Kike and Marion, Ada, Lockhart, Booker, Eylin White, Ebbie Burton, John Wilson, and the Dixie Kids. John Ives' sixteen-piece concert 'board still retains its reputation of being the "Little Barnum" and Chas. Collier, the owner still keeps the smile that BOB HAYES NOW MANAGER AT UNCOLN, LOUISVILLE.

Phone, Franklin 8433 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COLORED ACTORS UNION Philadelphia Notes By Chas, S. Johnson D. C. GIRL STARRING IN CHOCO- LATE DANDIES Both press and patrons are uniting in their praises of a dainty little lass who a little over a year ago was persuaded by the scribe to don a soubrette costume and prance in front of a snappy chorus of chums from the Capitol City which had been brought to this Quaker Town to delight the fastidious patrons of Cinderilla Inn. This little lass is Catherine Perry (Brown) who has demonstrated that no mistake was made in electing her to succeed Valada Snow who filled the same role in the original Sissle and Blake production. Judging from the enthusiastic reception accorded her at each performance during the past two weeks we are predicting a rapid rise for the little artist. This second edition of this production under management of Lew Payton a noted Cork artist and who made the comedy angle of the Original Show an outstanding feature has drawn packed houses for the past two weeks. Other new faces who have successfully replaced original artists and have done so in a most creditable manner are Hattie King Rivers, prima donna, who replaces our internationally famous Lottie Gee, "Onions" Jeffries who is more than upholding the reputation he made in gaining this cognomen in the comedy role in Shuffle Along and an out and out brand new peppy hard working brown skin chorus. In Burris Brown, husband of the former Miss Perry, Peyton can boast of a fast coming Leonard Harper or Frank Montgomery due to the precise training this young man has demonstrated in the presentation of a fast stepping chorus. When it comes to picking plots and titles to please we must hand it to Sandy Burns the Standard Theatre fixture. His latest production "The Garbage Man" where he actually eats from a swill can jammed the old play-house to its doors last week. Hilda Brooks another D. C. girl University Conservatory quite a hit with the Lucky Sambo Co. as a member of the "Three Dixie Song Birds." Home From Europe Theresa West who has just returned from Constantinople and points in France looking as "fit as a fiddle" has decided to remain here all winter due to the illness of her mother whose home is in this city. Rehersals for a new dramatic stock company to open the week of October 26 in the Dunbar are now being conducted by F. McNtee former director of Lafayette Players. The financial Fielder husband of Mae Desmond backing has been assumed by Frank head of the famous Desmond Dramatic Players (white). Our little indescribable dramatic star Evelyn Ellis has been engaged to head the company. "Sid" Easton's new vaudeville contribution under caption "Sid Easton's Novelty Trio" has been sharing stellar honors with Sandy Burns Co. at the Standard. Music and Musicians IN PHILADELPHIA The White Bros. versatile orchestra through the Scribe's booking made its first appearance in Philadelphia on last Monday and Tuesday nights at the Waltz Dream. To say that they knocked 'em cold is putting it mildly, All Quakertown promoters are now clamoring for the D.C. gang. Dr. Bernard Manning besides practising his Dental profession in this city is keeping up his musical reputation as a violinist of exceptional ability with Charlie Taylor's Dunbar Theatre Orchestra. "Doc" Heyder's Southerners a local musical group which delighted patrons of the Egg Harbor, Atlantic City, during the summer has replaced Elmer Snowden's combination at the Bamville Club N. Y. City. Fletcher Henderson's Collegians under his brother's direction followed the White Brothers into the Walkz Dream. As "hot" as they are conceded to be they didn't cause the gang to forget the work of the D. C. aggregation. Gertie Wells is booked for an appearance on October 26 in this burg where she is an outstanding favorite. NEWARK, NEW JE NEW JERSEY'S ONLY THEATRE Playing Vaudeville and To All Bookings direct.
