PASSES CIVIL SERVICE, REJECTED FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION PASSI ALLIED FINANCE CORP. OFFICERS ANSWER SUIT In answer to the suit of George F. Hatton, of 1144 Nineteenth Street, Northwest, for an accounting, Emmett J. Scott, president; Dr. A. M. Curtis, vice-president, and John R. Hawkins, treasurer, of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, deny that they have ever failed or refused to give Mr. Hatton information as to the condition of affairs of the corporation. They say that he has never made any demand or request for the information which he now pretends to seek. They declare that such information has been and is available to him and all other stockholders. They deny that they have paid out large sums in commissions and other charges. They claim that the only amounts paid out by them were legitimate expenditures of the corporation. They also deny that they have paid any dividends out of the capital stock. They say that the dividends which they paid came out of interest and bonuses on loans. They claim that Mr. Hatton is estopped from complaining because he accepted his proportionate share of dividends on November 14, 1922, February 11, 1923, July 24, 1923, September 26, 1923, and January 11, 1924. From the time of its incorporation, December 22, 1920, under the laws of the State of Delaware, the defendant officers say that the corporation has field annual meetings, filed annual reports, sent out annual statements and in every way conformed with the laws of Delaware and the District of Columbia. They claim that at the regular annual meeting on January 31, 1925, the stockholders upon the recommendation of the board of directors authorized the dissolution of the corporation and the appointment of a committee to settle its affairs. The reasons for the dissolution are given as the inability to secure an underwriting organization to promote the sale of capital and the delinquency of a large number of subscribers for capital stock. In accordance with a resolution authorizing dissolution, they say, a committee composed of John R. Hawkins, Whitefield McKinley, Norman L. McGhee, L. A. King, and Harry V. Plummer was appointed and entered upon the performance of their duties. --- On April 15, 1925, this committee having paid all the debts and obligations of the corporation, the defendant officers say, made a refund of 10 per cent to each stockholder on capital stock, except the local officers, who refused to accept any refund. They claim that on April 18 last, Mr. Hatton was sent a check for $20 for his share of the refund. His acceptance of this check, they claim, estops him from complaining as to the steps of dissolution and disclaiming knowledge concerning the conditions. The answer was filed through Attorneys James A. Cobb and George E. C. Hayes. Mr. Hatton in his bill of complaint charged that these officers had failed and refused to make an accounting of their acts, that they had refused to give him any information as to the condition of affairs of the corporation, that they had arranged to dissolve the corporation and distribute the funds without a meeting to authorize such dissolution, that they had paid out monies purporting to be dividends from the earnings of the corporation when such sums were a part of the capital stock. He is represented by Attorneys George A. Parker and J. Franklin Wilson. Howard Trustee Dead The late M. E. Ailes, president of the Riggs National Bank, who died recently, was a trustee of Howard University. He was chairman of the investment and property committee of the institution. He is also credited with having influenced the American Colonization Society to pledge $10,000 to Howard School of Medicine to which he personally donated $1,000. The final installment of $2550 on this gift was sent to Howand just four days prior to Mr. Ailes' death. The trustees will in all probability pay formal acknowledgement of the los the February meeting.

HEARINGS ON VETS HOSPITAL NOW COMPLETE HEARINGS ON VETS HOSPITAL NOW COMPLETE The hearing into charges preferred against W. L. Jones, engineer, and J. M. Dugas, registrar, of the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., was concluded by officials of the Veterans Bureau last Friday afternoon. At the conclusion of the hearing, Mr. Jones and Mr. Dugas immediately returned to Tuskegee. Neither would comment upon the charges. They told newspaper men that it was a violation of rules for a Government employee to give out any information without the approval of their chiefs. The hearing lasted from Monday through Friday and is said to be the longest yet held at the Veterans Bureau. Mr. Jones was charged with seeking to defraud the Government and conspiring to remove Major J. H. Ward, the commanding officer at the hospital. Mr. Dugas was charged with violation of the rules in connection with the handling of monies belonging to patients. It was said that he sought to have interest on bank deposits of patients credited to his personal bank account and that he charged 10 cents for the cashing of personal checks. It is thought that Mr. Dugas will be exonerated. It is said that Mr. Jones gave a satisfactory explanation resulting in the filing of charges against him. The correspondence between him and Melvin J. Chism, however, is causing Government officials to study his case more closely. Mr. Jones disproved the charge that he was the author of several newspaper articles concerning conditions at the hospital which emanated from Tuskegee. Telegrams from editors denied that he had ever given them any information either directly or indirectly. Friends of both Mr. Jones and Mr. Dugas say that the plan to bring about their dismissal through the filing of charges against them originated with Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Major J. H. Ward. They say that it is a retaliation for the charges which Mr. Jones made against Major Ward last summer. The transcript of the record of the hearing is being studied by the legal division of the Veterans Bureau. Their findings and recommendations will be sent to General Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau, for approval. Planning Emancipation Celebration The Joint Emancipation Committee of Washington, D.C., P. H. Bethea, chairman, held its monthly meeting at Cleveland School, last Tuesday night to further plans for the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation, on January 1, 1926. All of the speeches were lively and interesting. Much light was shed on the subject and much inspiration given to the movement by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, Mr. Neval E. Thomas and Mr. F. D. Lee. It was decided to give a Five Dollar Gold Piece to the girl or boy between the ages of ten and sixteen years, writing the best essay or the best poem on the Emancipation by December 1, 1925. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1925 DENTAL ASSISTANT CERTIFIED TO CAMP PERRY REFUSED ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR Dr. Ingersoll Johnson of Alexandria, Va., who passed with a high mark the examination for Dentist Assistant and was so certified by the U. S. Civil Service Commission, and upon that certification was sent to the Veterans' Hospital at Perrypoint, Md., was rejected flatly by the appointing officers there. The officer insisted upon having three names submitted, and since the doctor wa the only man on the eligible list, another examination has been ordered. This coming as it does upon the heels of letters to Dr Johnson in which consecutive reductions of beginning salary were quoted, each apparently in the hope of discouraging him, compels the belief that the rejection was entirely based upon his color. Perry Point Veterans Hospital is an all-white institution save for the presence of some Negro servants. The rejection after the appointment had been made has worked upon the doctor a severe hardship as he has now to re-adjust all his personal plans for the future. Judge Murphy Conferes With Darrow and Toms, Seeking to Speed Trial Detroit, Mich., Nov. 4-Though nearly 80 men and women of the veiire have been called and examined, Judge Frank Murphy was still without a jury Monday night for the trial of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, his wife, and nine others, who are charged with the murder of Leon C. Breiner, 2960 Garland avenue, who was killed September 9 by a shot fired supposedly from the house recently purchased by Sweet. His death was the culmination of several racial disturbances in different parts of Detroit. It was again stated Monday that many of the talesmen were professing prejudice against Negroes in order to escape jury service. In the afternoon Judge Murphy called Clarence Darrow and Walter M. Nelson, of defense, and Prosecutor Robert M. Toms into conference. Murphy suggested that attorneys should not dismiss potential jurors who admitted prejudice without making sure that their impressions could not be overcome by evidence. Election Day Holiday It was also suggested that talesmen still to be called should be kept outside the courtroom, until called for examination. When the court adjourned on Monday the opinion was that a jury could be obtained by Wednesday noon. The court did not sit Tuesday, election day. While the defense will attempt to show that the shooting took place in fear of damage to life and property, Toms said the prosecution would be based on the suggestion that the 11 defendants were banded together for a single purpose and that one or more of them fired the volley which resulted in Breiner's death. Some of Toms' questions to potential jurors were asked with a view to finding whether they were likely to be affected by Darrow's record as a criminal lawyer or by their preferences in the two recent cases in which he appeared—the Leopold and Loeb trial in Chicago and the Dayton evolution trial. The response was that these matters would not be taken into consideration. Consider Pay Small Charles W. Burch, 795 Walnut avenue, an employee of Solvay Process company, told the court he believed at first that Breiner's slaying was a political "frame-up," but that he had since 'abandoned that idea. Asked further about his willingness to sit through the trial, Burch said he considered the pay very small. "If that's your idea of civic duty," said Toms, "I don't want you. You are excused." Remaining in temporary possession of the jury box are three women: Mrs. Jessie Dessert, 4707 Seventeenth Street; Mrs. Mary Wallace, 1557 Garland Avenue, and Miss Anna O'Connor, 1393 West Grand boulevard. The nine men are: Patrick Murphy, 4740 Woodward Avenue; Harry B. Cooney, 7409 Poe Avenue; Philip J. Yates, 3207 Blaine Avenue; Charles F.

BEN DAVIS TALKS OVER GEORGIA PATRONAGE BEN DAVIS TALKS OVER GEORGIA PATRONAGE Benjamin Jefferson Davis, who has been nominated by the Georgia Republican State Central Committee for membership on the National Committee to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, together with Dr. W. H. Harris, of Athens, Ga., and oter Georgia Republicans held a conference with officials of the Republican National Committee in the Munsey Building last Friday. Mr. Davis made no statement as to the subject of the conference. It was learned, however, that since the death of Mr. Johnson, no patronage has been dispensed in the State of Georgia and it is presumed that one of the subjects discussed was the matter of appointments in that state. Mrs. George S. Williams, the Georgia Republican National Committeewoman, was also in the city last Friday and Saturday. Mr. Davis did state that complete harmony prevails in the ranks of Georgia republicans at this time. Department Store Offers Special Sale The Bendheim Department Store, located at 14th and U Streets, Northwest, beginning with this Saturday, is offering to the thrifty housewives and shoppers, a special profit sharing sale.

MISSISSIPPI M DEATH WHITE ING HER Some few days since, a party of citizens of the Tensas swamp district of Mississippi, indulged in the pleasure of lynching what was presumed to be a light colored girl. This was October 11, and the body was recovered from a pyre the next morning, Cora McKnight and her husband, both Negroes, were found to be missing and the body was declared to have been that of Mrs. McKnight. Later developments disclosed that Mrs. McKnight had been taken to Winnsboro, La., to begin a sentence in prison for selling liquor. On October 6, Florence Curley, a white student at a local training school, disappeared and with the discovery that Mrs. McKnight is alive, the local police and citizens have been thrown into a frenzy of fear that the body is that of the prospective nurse who was last seen as she started on an automobile ride. A ring taken from the finger of the lynched person has been identified as similar to one owned by the white girl, and the examination of the body revealed very similar physical characteristics. Colored Shows Break Into Another Big Circuit "Runnin' Wild" Plays Mutual House Despite the announcement of Isador Herk, president of the Mutual circuit of the theatres and shows, backed by a resolution of the board of directors of the Mutual Burlesque Association, to the effect that no Negro acts, artists or shows would be permitted to play in the theatres of that organization, "Runin' Wild" played a week's engagement last week at the Empire Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio, in conjunction with Harry Goldberg's "Night Hawks"; and seven Negro graeville acts left Cleveland on Sunday night, November 1, with the attraction for Louisville, the next stand. The switch in policy was for the direct purpose of meeting the strong competition of "Seven-Eleven" an opposition attraction on the Columbia Circuit. It has become a known fact in theatrical circles that the Columbia all-Negro and part-Negro shows have been pronounced successes from a box office point of view, while many of the Nordic attractions on both Mutual and Columbia circuits have been making very little money. With the fall of the prejudiced policy of the Mutual circuit, the last organized resistance against Negro performers in America has been overwhelmed, and the Race is represented in every branch of show business. --- OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

Carter. The blind man fatally stabbed Carter on the night of September 26, last in front of No. 1230 Ward's Court Northwest. Carter died the next day at Emergency Hospital. Both men are said to have been drinking. According to witnesses, Brown tried to force Ward to go into his house. Ward refused and in a scuffle that ensued the blind man is said to have drawn a large knife and cut Carter about the throat and abdomen. The indictment was returned upon the testimony of Matilda G. Carter, widow of the dead man; Marion J. Terry, Mabel A. Jackson, Cain Robinson and Policecem J. L. Marvars and John L. Billen.

Harris, a real estate broker with offices at 613 F Street, Northwest, for an accounting was referred to the auditor of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Tuesday morning by Justice Siddons. Attorneys Leckie, Cox and Sherier, who represented Mr. Dingle, told the court that Mr. Harris had sold 10 houses in the 1800 block of Eighth Street, Northwest, for their client and had failed to make a full accounting. Attorneys James A. Cobb, who with Attronts George E. C. Hayes and J. T. Settle appeared for Mr. Harris, stated that Mr. Harris had made a full and complete accounting for every house sold and in his answer to the bill of complaint had set up a cross demand for an amount over $1,500 for commissions by reason of two checks on which payment had been stopped by Mr. Dingle. Justice Siddons took the view that inasmuch as it was a matter of accounting, it should be referred to the auditor. This suit resulted from the sale of 10 of 15 houses, Nos. 1830 to 1858 Eighth Street, Northwest. These 15 houses were purchased by Mr. Dingle through Mr. Harris' o flce at a price of $80,000. Mr. Dingle is said to have put but $2,500 into the purchase. A first trust of $4,000 each was put on these houses and Mr. Harris negotiated a second trust loan for the difference between the purchase price and the $60,000 realized on the first trust and Mr. Dingle's deposit. The 10 houses sold at more than $7,500 each. The purchasers assumed the first trusts of $4,000 each and made small cash payments. The difference between the purchase price and the cash payment and the first trust was represented by a second trust. Mr. Dingle turned over the notes for the second trust to Mr. Harris to be discounted in the market in order that he might realize cash. Mr. Harris had the notes discounted and turned over the cash realized to the title company for Mr. Dingle, which he accepted. On July 2, 1924, just on the eve of Mr. Harris' departure for Europe, he and Mr. Dingle began a settlement. On July 3, 1924, Mr. Dingle gave Mr. Harris one check for $1,149.44, making a notation on the back of it that it was for commissions and adjustments. He also gave him on the same day another check for $400, putting a notation on its back that it was an advance on commissions to be earned on account of Eighth street property. Mr. Harris, on the other hand, turned over to Mr. Dingle a check purporting to be in full settlement for the sale of the 10 houses. Mr. Harris deposited the two checks he had received immediately. His bank was advised by telegram that payment on them had been stopped. The checks were later returned by the Mechanics Bank of New York, on which they were drawn, marked "payment stopped." Under the terms of the contract for the sale of these houses, Mr. Harris was to submit all contracts for their sale to Mr. Dingle for his approval, attorneys for Mr. Harris contend that this provision was strictly followed and Mr. Dingle approved each sale and was so well pleased with the transaction that he made an advance on commission for the sale of the remaining five houses. Since the filing of this suit it is reported that Mr. Harris has had to pay the sum of $3,600 on a note which he endorsed for Mr. Dingle. In an interview with the Tribune, Mr. Dingle, just prior to his departure for New York declared that he is quite satisfied with the court order to refer the matter to the auditor, and that he regards the decision as "Giving him the first down" in the language of football. He frankly admitted that the case was not yet won by him, nor yet by the others involved, as this was but a preliminary move.

Since you have passed three score and ten, it is only natural that your hair should fall out in great quantities if neglected. This condition is called Alopecia Sinilis and can only be remedied by keeping the system in tone. You must have regular exercise and proper food. We find that persons of your age, who have retired from active and busy lives, must regulate their diet with more vegetables and milk and less meat. Total abstinence from pork and heavy beef is also recommended in this case. Flossie—The bulging of the nails, when they appear to be swollen and rise above the finger, is a symptom of tuberculosis.

TURNER Answers to Queries By Vee Tee Tee Dear Vee Tee Tee: My husband and I are both working. We have a very nice little home and are getting along nicely. I have been using my money to help in the home and in buying myself necessary clothing, etc. My husband of course spends most of his in the home also. Some of my friends tell me my money is my own and I should not use it in the home for things my husband should buy: Tell me what you think about it. Yours, FAIRNESS You're a very silly girl, Fairness, to even listen to such advice from your girl friends. Trouble first comes as a rule, in young couples' homes because of either financial difficulties or untimely gossip. You may think it wise to discuss your personal affairs with your girl friends now, but you will find in a few months or years you have done so to your own sorrow. Affairs dealing with the financial side of matrimony should be discussed only between man and wife because as long as marriages are made and a man works and a woman works also there will be some difficulties to arise which can best be settled by those concerned Those very friends of yours who advise you to spend your money on yourself and not help your husband in the house, perhaps are disgruntled results of marriage failures themselves or having never had a house, have no idea of how it should be run and do not know just what they would do if thrown in the same predicament. They will tell you not to help your husband and he sacrificing and working hard each day to make your little home a "thing of beauty and a joy forever" and turn around and marry a sloven, lazy, no account fellow, work hard every day, have only one room, help feed, clothe, and house him and think that's all right. I say, don't listen to such people, the world is full don't let others advise unless it is of them. Live your own life, and for your happiness. So far as your helping your industrious husband in the home, I think you're a wise sensible girl. Old traditions censured a woman for helping a man financially but the modern day expense almost makes it impossible for a young couple to marry unless the girl has a dowry or continues be a wage earner after marriage—hence tradition has been thrown to the winds. The modern girl generally has some trade or profession by which she earned her livelihood before marriage and after a woman once earns her own money she becomes somewhat reluctant about giving it up and becoming financially dependent upon the man. So the majority of wives work now-a-days. If you want to help in the house it is wise. This is your home as much as his and since you are making money why not use it to further the interests of your own home. Some girls work—spend their money foolishly on themselves causing the husband to resort to all sorts of practices to make ends meet, while they take life as play. This causes unrest dissatisfaction and quarrels. But when the husband finds the interest as strong with the wife as it is with him it spurs him rather than deters him, for both are working for the common good of the home. I truly hope my advice to you will be satisfactory and it will help you to continue along the road to success as you have started. Yours for success, VEE TEE TEE Nonsense From coal I once would turn aside The task of losing it I'd spurn But now my heart is filled with pride Because I have some coal to burn. Trouble Encores Do you approve of divorces? "Not in most cases," answered she. "People who get divorces usually do no more than make arrangements to be equally unhappy with someone else." A Belvedere woman has named her daughter "Tomato" and yet no mother has shown courage enough to name her daugter "Prune." Customs Persist Turkish girls wear knickerbockers And the harem is no more But the grafters and the knockers Still are active as of yore. Demonstrator of auto—I will now throw in the clutch. Buyer—I knew if I held out long enough you would throw in something. Said the violin to the harp—"You're nothing but a big Lyre." What three poets would you name if you sat down on a hot stove? Dickens, Howe it Burns. What makes you think Mah Jongg would never do in the army? Every time anybody yelled "Chow" the players would all get up and run. A fool at forty is a fool indeed. —Young From the Melting Pot Old-fashioned love-making seems to have gone out of style; nowadays young folks do their "courting" before a divorce judge. Confessing a small sin is a popular way of concealing a great one. Don't loan your best friend money if you value his friendship. This is usually the breaking point. Girls, wear styles which are becoming and avoid the unkind remarks of observers. Show courtesy to those with whom you come in contact; it means cash customers. For every knock a wife gives the 'other woman' the husband pushes her up one peg in his own estimation. Moral: Don't knock. Found in Old Cook Book These couplets were found in the front of an old handwritten cook book. They are interesting and true enough to be preserved: Always have lobster sauce with salmon. And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on. Veal cutlets dip in egg and bread crumb; Fry until you see a brownish red come. Grate Gruyere cheese on macaroni, Make the top crisp, but not too bony. When dressing salad mind this law: With two hard yolks use one that's raw. Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve, And pickled mushrooms, too, observe. Roast pork sans apple sauce, past doubt Is "Hamlet" with the "prince left out. Your mutton chops with paper cover, And make them amber brown all over. Broil lightly your beefsteak—to fry it Argues contempt of Christian diet. Buy stall-fed pigeons. When you've got them The way to cook them is to pot them. Wood grouse are dry when gumps have marred them. Before you roast them always lard them. To roast Spring chickens is to spoil them: Just split them down the back and broil them.

HEROINOL COMPANY Atlanta, Ga. ```markdown ``` HUSBANDS AND WIVES DRESS ALIKE New York, N.Y., Nov. 4. (By The Associated Press)—It is the fashion in certain parts of aristocratic England for husbands and wives to wear cloth which match. The Duke and Duchess of York on several occasions recently have appeared in tailored blue suits, the cloth apparently having been cut from the same roll. Twenty-three of every 100 women are employed in gainful occupations, according to latest statistics. SKIRTS TO BE SHORTER SKIRTS TO BE SHORTER New York, Oct. (By The Associated Negro Press)—According to dispatchers from Paris, the French flappers have adopted shorter skirts for the new season. It was thought at first that it would result in saving, but the new skirt, the wide flowing kind, offered by the model makers at the Autumn shows, have been found to take up just as much cloth as the longer, closer fitting ones, and, therefore, the price is just as great. ```markdown ``` BEAUTIFUL NEGRO DOLLS Walk—Talk—Sleep CHRISTMAS Catalogue Free Full of Good Things to Buy and Sell. 1000 novelties and holiday goods; beautiful Negro dolls, pictures, calendars.

Phone, Main 2332 THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature Standing on the threshold of a new season, the dress designers today hold out a promise of unusual activity, which should, according to the latest circulations, set in just at the moment that the interest in fall approval begins to wane. Preferences expressed by New York speciality shop buyers hold much interest for everyone concerned with the purchasing of their winter wardrobe. To be in the height of fashion this season we must be in our teens—at least velvet-teens. For she who hasn't one velvetteen garment in her wardrobe is no child of fashion. Practically every showing contains models in this material—frocks for street wear, sports wear and coats for formal and informal wear. We must all renew our acquaintance with this particular fabric. For although velvetteen must plead guilty to practical durability, it is otherwise an aristocrat. Soft and rich in texture, it is to be found in a great number of patterns and color combinations as well as in a wide range of plain colors. Velveteen functions in many of the new jumper models designed for actual sports wear, and frequently the scene of its activity is the skirt while jersey plays the role of jumper. Among the most charming of such models designed by M. Paton for general utility wear, is one with a circular velveteen skirt. The jumper of this costume is of contrasting material—sleeves puffed at the elbows—a double collar of self material and two swagger pockets.

One of the loveliest among the coats for street and travel is a velvetteen in a plaid of bottle green lined with kasha cloth. Another model flared from the hips was also of green but finished with tiger skin trimmings. A very striking ensemble seen in the Ritz-Carlton, was of bois de rose velvetteen, a color that is receiving a great deal of attention. The coat was quite, full in the back, a sable collar and cuffs, and a Russian toque of the same material. Of the more formal type is a model from Paul Caret. Cut with a straight flare in the back. This coat is executed in garnet velvetteen, the shade so widely exploited by Paton and a number of other French designers. There is a fur trimmed scarf with this costume made of the velvetteen, which is detachable and may be worn tied closely about the neck. The rich pile velvet is especially adapted to the new evening dresses. Mme. Lauvin has shown a decided preference for velvet and the majority of her evening dresses are made of this material. Every day velvet millinery becomes more important and frequently one finds it with some touch of metal trimming. For this is a season when metal and velvet have formed a fashion combine and if one's frock and coat escape being involved, it is quite likely that one's hat at least will register the sovereign interest.

CHILDREN'S PAGE Boy Scout Work Two tickets each were awarded for the three best letters from Tribunites telling what kind of picture they like to see Douglas Fairbanks in. The contest came to a close on Friday, October the 30th. Tickets were mailed to the winners, Saturday, October 31st. PRIZE LETTERS Dead Editor: I have Douglas Fairbanks included as one of my favorite actors. I especially like to see him play in adventure pictures like that of "Robin Hood." I like adventure pictures because they have plenty of thrills, action, and emotion, and they also help one's imagination. They make you feel as though you were living other people's experiences. Fairbanks is an excellent actor. He has been starring for some years. He has played in many wonderful roles, where beautiful scenes appear. ELEANOR WARD (12) 707 13th Street, N.E. Dead Editor: I have seen Douglas Fairbanks play in different types of pictures, but I think that I prefer seeing him play in such pictures as "Robin Hood" and "The Thief of Bagdad." Of course he really plays his role excellently in love pictures and others, but he seems to play true to his particular type and more vividly portray the characters of "Robin Hood" and the "Thief of Bagdad." Just as "Rudy" Valentino and Navarro are more effective when screened in the roles of sheiks, so Douglas Fairbanks shows true to form in such pictures as those above named. BERNICE SHAW. (15). Dear Editor: Douglas Fairbanks is one of my favorite movie stars. I think that he takes his part very well in all of his pictures. The reason that I like Douglas Fairbanks' pictures is that they are thrilling, entertaining and interesting. The love plots woven in with good acting are fine. His pictures show life as it really is and do not exaggerate as some pictures do. Douglas Fairbanks has a wonderful countenance and takes many parts to perfection. "The Thief of Bagdad" was the last picture in which I witnessed his wonderful acting. Every moment, is time well spent when viewing this great movie star. I am confident, from reading critics and advertisements that "Don Q" is a picture that stands out with the best, and that everyone should see it. May "Doug's" movie success continue and the public be blessed with such great pictures as "Don Q." Boy Scout SCOUT NEWS WANTED Scout masters are requested to forward their news to this page each week. News should reach this office by Tuesday noon before the Saturday on which they are to be published. Stories received after Tuesday noon will not be considered for insertion in the Children's Page. Mechanical requirements necessitate this early receipt of news. Copy should be mailed or delivered to the Children's Page Editor, 920 U Street, Northwest.

Troop Committee Each chartered troop of the Boy Scouts of America shall be under the supervision of a troop or boys' work committee, consisting of three or more male citizens of the United States, twenty-one years of age or over, selected by the institution with which the troop is connected or, in the case of an independent troop, of those who make application for the troop charter, one of whom shall be designated as chairman. If for any reason it becomes necessary for the scoutmaster to discontinue to serve, the troop committee # THE PUBLIC LIBRARY Last Monday night your editor observed the children patrons of the Carnegie Library, generally called the Public Library. He was greatly pleased at the large number of Negro boys and girls who visited the Library during his observation. The conduct of these children was perfect. For the benefit of those children who do not take advantage of the opportunity to read the many books offered in the juvenile department he is publishing the very simple rules one has to observe, to secure the use of these books. The central library shall be open for the delivery and return of books and for reading and reference every weekday from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., July 4 and December 25 excepted. The central library shall be open for reading, reference and registration every Sunday from 2 to 6 p. m. (Temporarily the central library is closed every Wednesday at 3 p. m. and on Saturdays at 1 p. m., July, August and September.) Minors under eighteen years of age will be required to furnish the written consent and guaranty of parent, guardian, or some person satisfactory to the librarian. On cards marked "Juvenile" only three books may be issued. THIS CARD MUST BE PRESENTED WHENEVER A BOOK IS TAKEN, RETURNED, OR RENEWED. If lost, cards will be replaced upon payment of 10 cents seven days after notice has been given to the library. Immediate notice of a change of residence must be given at the library.

Borrowers must take notice of the expiration of the time allowed. The use of ink bottles is not permitted in the reading rooms. Writing in books or marking the same is strictly prohibited under penalty of the law. All conversation or other conduct inconsistent with the quiet and orderly use of the library are prohibited in all parts of the library buildings. Boys shall remove their hats and remain uncovered within the building. A neglect to comply with any of these rules shall work a forfeiture of the privileges of the library.

Zion Church. assumes control of the troop and all of its property, until a suitable successor receives his commission from the National Council. Any adult who desires to strengthen and to extend the influence of the Boy Scouts of America, in carrying out its program with the boyhood of America for character building, citizenship training and Americanization, may, upon payment of $1.00; or more, become an Associate Member of the organization. Local Examiners for Pioneer Scouts Each pioneer scout must move a local examiner because he has no scout-master. Some responsible adult must sign the scout's application for registration, showing that he has given the candidate his tenderfoot tests and that he will give him his second-class, first-class and merit badge tests as soon as the scout qualifies for them. Pastors, teachers, employers, Agricultural Boys' Club leaders, County Agricultural Agents, Masters of Granges, and official of other rural organizations are usually willing to serve as Once a Scout, Always a Scout The Boy Scout program is so big and broad and attractive as to make possible for the boy to maintain his interest indefinitely. No boy becomes too old to take some active part in scouting. Indeed the slogan "Once a scout, always a scout" is becoming generally accepted. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1925 OUR LETTER BOX LETTERS OUR LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS Kiddies, you hear much talk about doing your Christmas shopping early. Well, perhaps you have no shopping to do, but you do intend to write to Santa Claus. Why not write to him now? He is rather busy at present and will be busy until Christmas eve.

Address your mail: Santa Claus, Children's Page, 920 You Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. and your letter will be sent to the North Pole to Santa. NOW, MR. C. A. THOMPSON! Dear Editor: Last week Carl A. Thompson wrote that he was glad that he was not a girl. Don't anybody want to be a cow and I'm sure no girl would want to be a boy. My mother says that girls are made of sugar and spice and every thing nice, but boys are made of cats and snails and puppy dog tails, so there. I am glad I am a girl. RUTH R. JACKSON (15). EVELYN ASKS SOME QUESTIONS Dear Editor: A picture I enjoyed seeing Douglas Fairbanks in was "The Thief of Bagdad." It represented one of the stories told in "The Arabian Nights." The scenery was very beautiful. One may well ask the question: how did he destroy that large spider at the bottom of the sea to get a small token such as a key? Or how did he go through the valley of fire? If we had met what he met we may have done some silly act with the fear of meeting such monsters as he met. Now how could he ride on a horse in the air? We can only ride horses on the ground. Well if Douglas Fairbanks found the key, went through the valley of fire, went through the valley of monsters and rode a horse in the air, how did he throw a powder on the ground and make human beings appear on the earth? I think this play was worth while seeing because it was full of adventures and mystery. EVELYN J. ROBINS (14). AFRICAN BOYS AND GIRLS TO GET SIMILAR EDUCATIONAL TRAINING AS THEIR AMERICAN COUSINS. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, formerly Associate Chaplain of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., and chairman of the two Education Commissions recently sent by the British Government to study the educational needs of Africa, in his report urged England to adapt to the natives of its African Colonies the Hampton system of education. Dr. Jones and the Phelps-Stokes Fund, of which he is the Educational Director, have arranged to have prominent African missionaries from Uganda, Rhodesia, Gold Coast, and other African Colonies, visit America this winter for the purpose of studying the system of education that has been used so successfully by the Negroes of this country. Among the missionaries who have recently visited Hampton are Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey, a native of the Gold Coast, educated in America and now vice principal of the native college at Achimota, Gold Coast, for which the British Government has recently appropriated 500,000 pounds.

My sister took me with her to see the people out having fun. There were lots and lots of people dressed in funny clothes. Some of the women and girls had on very pretty dresses. My sister was dressed as an old cook and I was dressed like a boy. We had lots and lots of fun. I did not want to go in at nine o'clock. I had more fun on Halloween than I have at Christmas, but I like Christmas best. Love to you and to all of the Tribunites. AGNES N. TAPPAN (13). A LETTER OF THANKS Dear Editor: I am very ashamed for not writing to thank you for the fifty cents I won for the limicrine. I have been very busy in school. I do not remember any of the pictures I have seen of Douglass Fairbanks. I am sorry that I have forgotten but I am very glad that others' memories are not so short. I will try to remember the next time. Love to all. CLARA WANTS BREAD PUDDING Dear Mrs. Hopkins: Mother and I tried your recipe for cup cake last week. It was lots of fun.

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE If you desire to read something out of the ordinary you would do well to read Mr. Freeman H. M. Murray's "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture." Yes, it is different from the usual run of books written by Negro authors. The subject has been exhaustively treated—the author having given several years to research which resulted in the securing of reliable data concerning the works of American sculpture of Negro life. Mr. Murray corresponded with many of the sculptors of the works with which he deals, and in many cases when the sculptor was deceased, he communicated with those who were personally connected or who had personal knowledge of the sculptor's ideas concerning his work. The illustrations are many and very plain in detail, making it very easy to observe the sculptural abilities of the sculptures. This entire volume has appeared on this page, run in serial form. Perhaps some of you read it; those of you who did not would do well to secure a copy of Mr. Murray's book and make a study of it. It can be secured from the author at 920 U Street, Northwest. Price $1.75. BOOKS THAT NEVER GROW OLD Book Week has come and gone, but to the boy or girl who likes to read—every week is book week. You have read Mother Goose; The Water Babies; Black Beauty; Robinson Crusoe; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass; and Wizard of Oz. If you have not read all of these books you should do so as soon as possible. To have read these books will mean that wherever you go and there meet strange children, you will have something to talk about—something that they, too, will have a knowledge of; to talk with people of things they know makes for good worthwhile conversation. Other books worthy of your reading are: The Little Duke; Robin Hood; Rip Van Winkle; The Tale of Two Cities; Adventures of a Brownie; The Arabian Nights Entertainments; Grimm's Fairy Tales; Gulliver's Travels; Andersen's Fairy Tales; The Swiss Family Robinson; Tales from Shakespare; Tom Brown's School Days; A Narrative of the Negro; Treasure Island; The Little Lume Prince; The Hoosier School Boy; Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates; and The Wonder Book of Bible Stories. All of these books can be secured from the Public Library. The juvenile department in on the second floor. Hazlitt said. "The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading while we are young." Children, take advantage of this great pleasure. To read is to gain knowledge, and knowledge is at your finger's end.

CARS FOR EVERY OCCASION Hail a Red Cab Anywhere No Charges for Extra Passengers PAGE TWELVE Unionism Not Among The Organizer of One of the Quiet, but Substantial Industrial Organizations The agitation for and against Negro Unionism that is occupying much space in the public prints is, at first, liable to lead to the belief that Unionism is something entirely new among Colored people in this country. Such is most emphatically not the case. There are many thousands of Negroes in organized labor as part and parcel of the existing Internationals of the suit and cloak trades, the musicians, the dress goods lines, the meat industries, the Longshoremen's Union and in the coal mining occupations. In fact, in the two latter some important posts are held by Negroes, one being that of vice-president of the international. Insofar as independent organizations that function with sole responsibility to their own members, and are in no wise identified other than in the similarity of purpose and the harmony of spirit with the Federation we have several of these. The Colored Actors Union is entirely free from any alliances save that of comity with kindred organizations. This, too, is true of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, a steadily functioning body that enjoys the respect and friendship of the other Transportation Brotherhoods without any contracted allegiance. The Pullman Porters' effort at organization has brought many arguments for and against it, based upon claims that it is first inspired from Moscow, and then because it is the creation of the A. F. of L. That neither statement is of necessity true is demonstrated by the history of Lemus and the Dining Car Brotherhood, an organization that is fully recognized by the labor board, and the following railway companies; The New Haven, Boston and Maine, Boston and Albany, New York Central Lines, Pennsylvania Lines East, Lackawana, Erie, Atlantic Coast Lines, Norfolk and Western, Seaboard Air Line, and Southern R. R. with negotiations pending involving recognition by the Pennsylvania Lines West, the B. and O., to say nothing of requests from several western roads for the assumption of jurisdiction over their men to insure consolidated handling of their dining car employee problems. The Dining Car Brotherhood is a conservatively conduct dorganization with headquarters in Washington where its President, the only salaried and fulltime officer centres his activities at 47 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest. Here too, is the office of OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS' AND DAUGHTERS' SUCCESS CAB SCHYLOCK PHOTO the secretary-treasurer. Six vicepresidents serve to maintain intimate executive contact with the 2500 members. Ten locals provide the opportunity for the discussion of local matters. The Grand Council meets but once in three years so that neither time or funds are wasted in talkfests and iov trips. Mr. Lemus is a practical dining car man of many years experience. He is a mild appearing fellow of 45 years who looks younger, and, a man whose strength is at once evident when one hears the deep throated baritone voice send forth a phrase or sentence. He was born in Richmond and has had but a public school education. This has however been greatly augmented by contacts and the absorption of all that is available to one who for 23 years has been in a service that gave contact with the best minds of American culture and business acumen. His conversation discloses that he has read extensively, and that he thinks logically. Bluntly, the man has a lot of good common sense. His railroad career began in 1002 when he became a Pullman porter, traveling out of Richmond. In 1005, he graduated into the more complicated dining car work and in the twenty years since then has worked on virtually all of the Eastern roads, leaving each for causes that in the "good clearance." It was while on the New Haven that he became interested in organizing the boys. The cooks and waiters of that system joined hands and in 1919, the Brotherhood was chartered. About the same time the Pennsylvania R. R. Norfolk and Western, The Lehigh and the Lakawana R. R. Ding Car Employees were chartered into a union. The two organizations merged into 1920 retaining the name of the Brotherhood and electing its president to the same post in the enlarged body. Since then the Brotherhood has obtained increased wages, better working conditions, and a fine respect for its members, all without the loss of a single man's job, and with little noise much less the creation of antagonisms with either employers or other workers. to the vice-presidents is due a lot of credit for these peaceful accomplishments. J. P. Covington is the assistant to the president and is regarded as a most valuable asset. George Statesman, the secretary-treasurer is the founder of local No. 6, located in Washington; and is responsible for the preservation of overtime on the Seaboard Airline by keeping the local substantially behind the president.

(Preston News Service)—The heroic deed of Edward Mitchell, of 1621 Clark Street, who gave his life in a vain attempt to save James Waters (white) an attorney, of 241 Academy Avenue, Mount Lebanon, from drowning in the Monongahela River, on July 27, last, after he had jumped from the Smithfield street bridge was recognized Friday by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. A bronze medal and $50 monthly for the support of his widow, was the award made. Mitchell, an ash wheeler at the power house of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad Statoin, saw Waters jump from Smithfield Street bridge into Monongahela River. The would-be rescuer almost reached his side when Waters disappeared beneath the surface. Clothing bore them both beneath the surface. Thirty-two acts of heroism, including four in Pennsylvania, were recognized by the commission which held its fall meeting in its headquarters in the Henry W. Oliver Building. Fifteen of the heroes gave their lives in acts of bravery and two of the recipients were girls. organizer and motivating force in local 10 at Buffalo, N.Y., he is a vice-president.

He never falters when stern representation is required. These men constitute a living, moving demonstration that Negro laborers can organize; and can function as do other craftsmen. They prove that there is no sane reason for objection to the organization of any group among us.

Noted Indian Dr. DiscoversPreparationThat GrowsHair Two Inches In Two Months Willing to Give Free Samples to All Readers of This Paper to Prove Merits of His Discovery. Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair and after experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Coconut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano paleed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scabs the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tart Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to Dept. 644 THE HERBS OF LIFE INDIAN MEDICINE COMPANY 1420-24 South Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Joseph I.

ILLNESS OBLIGES CHARLOTTE WALLACE MURRAY TO CANCEL ENGAGEMENT TO COLLEGE ALUMNAE CLUB Marian Andreson to be Presented Soon The club is working with enthusiasm to make the appearance of Miss Anderson at the First Congregational Church November 10, a success. The sudden illness of Mrs. Charllee Wallace Murray prevents her appearance in concert at present. Miss Marian Anderson, a rich contratto, has, perhaps, the rarest voice on the American concert stage today. A young woman in her early twenties, she has received most favorable comment from leading musical critics and journals. Last June she was chosen from among hundreds of contestants for appearances in the Stadium Concerts held under the auspices of the New York City College. A little before this, she had appeared in the exacting role of solist with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra. BARRY FARM NOTES District Commissioner Frederick A.

St. Augustine's Church, the oldest and leading colored Catholic church in this country, has the honor of being the first to own a broadcasting station. It is operated by one of its parishioners, a 17-year-old school boy, Rufus Turner, the only person of his age in the country to hold a license to operate a broadcasting station. On Sunday, Novmeber 1, the first vesper services were put on the air with great success. The Sanctuary Choir of 40 voices was featured, with Dr. Guilday, Professor of History at Catholic University, as speaker. The new station is temporarily known as 3XAA. The informal dance and reception under the direction of the Council Review for Catholic journalists will be the pre-Thanksgiving feature of the season. The journalists have chosen Tuesday, November 17, as the date of their spectacular affair in the beautiful garden of the Murray Casino. If you have ever attended an informal reception, and especially a Catholic one, you have an idea of the entertaining feature this affair affords. The staff photographer—the best in the city—will take a flashlight picture of the dancers, Granson's Society Orchestra will play, and the Knights of St. John Orchestra will be introduced and play from 10:30 to 11. Therefore, there will be no intermission.

While in the city he will be the guest of the pastor of St. Augustine's Church. N.Y. Red Caps Endow Scholarships N.Y. Red Caps Endow Scholarships New York, Nov. 3—Another step for the advancement of Negro education was put forward today, when it was announced that the "Red Caps" of the Pennsylvania Station of this city had endowed a university scholarship to the son of a union porter who achieves the highest high-school record in English, mathematics, history and chemistry. The scholarship is to be valued at $200 a year. Each porter has pledged to give $1 each year until the college course is completed. The action by the porters was put into immediate effect. The candidates for the scholarship were immediately nominated, and Marcus Carpenter, a local boy, was declared the winner of the first scholarship. Carpenter is now a freshman at Howard University. It is specified in the list of requirements that the winner of the scholarship must be "an obedient boy to his parents and teachers"; must have convinced his parents and teachers "that he desires to make his mark in the world"; and "must be sound in body and mind."

Pullman Porters Benefit Association Statement of History of the Organization, It's Purpose and Work Accomplished The Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America is composed entirely of Negro employees of The Pullman Company. It now has over eight thousand members throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Membership is entirely optional with employees. All are invited to join but there is no obligation to do so. Local lodges are maintained in the principal cities to promote the welfare, social activities and fraternal spirit of the members. The association is governed by the Grand Association, which meets annually in November at Chicago, composed of delegates from each of the local lodges. History of the Association The association was organized, has a unitities present proportions and is con- sidered by its own members. What known as zone associations were orga- nized in 1915 by committees in the various employment. A small death benefi- cited which was found to be helpful families of deceased members. The invention of the seven zone association in Chicago in November of that year that first convention the members ev- sire for a more closely organized action in one body to cover the whole s- tud to provide for sick and accident a death benefits. A committee on re- vision was appointed by Chairman Bax- Assisting of T. R. Webb, Denver, C an; Waverly Williams, New York, and Rer Wells, Chicago, to formulate plan report at the next session. At the invention the report was considere- ted again referred back to the com- mendments. In 1917 the commen- tory was adopted by the convention was rejected by the porters in a referen- ce. In 1919 another committee on re-org- nation was appointed composed of the membership as the committee appoint- ed with the addition of W. H. Deave, New York, and Perry Parker, Cincinnati is committee, after conferences con- vered several months, submitted to The association was organized, has grown to its present proportions and is controlled entirely by its own members. What were known as zone associations were organized in 1915 by committees in the various zones of employment. A small death benefit was provided which was found to be helpful to the families of deceased members. The first convention of the seven zone associations was held in Chicago in November of that year. In that first convention the members evinced a desire for a more closely organized association in one body to cover the whole service and to provide for sick and accident as well as death benefits. A committee on reorganization was appointed by Chairman Barnett, consisting of T. R. Webb, Denver, Chairman; Waverly Williams, New York, and Arthur Wells, Chicago, to formulate plans and to report at the next session. At the 1916 convention the report was considered but was again referred back to the committee for amendments. In 1917 the committee's report was adopted by the convention, but was rejected by the porters in a referendum vote. In 1919 another committee on re-organization was appointed composed of the same membership as the committee appointed in 1915 with the addition of W. H. Deaverney, New York, and Perry Parker, Cincinnati. This committee, after conferences continuing over several months, submitted to the Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America Issued by authority of: Perry Part O. E. Rob T. R. Wel Perry Parker, Grand Chairman O. E. Robinson, Grand Secretary T. R. Webb, Comptroller T. W. Duncan, Treasurer PAGE THREE convention of 1920 the present plan as embodied in the constitution and by-laws of the association which were formally adopted by delegates of the several zones in November 1920, and became operative February 1, 1921. The general supervision or direction of the association is vested in a Board of Directors elected by the Grand Association, the latter being composed of delegates from the local lodges. The member of the present board is—Perry Parker, Cincinnati; T. M. Blanton, Philadelphia; J. M. Sexton, New Orleans; R. L. Williams, San Francisco; I. F. Smith, Chicago; S. J. Freeman, New York, and T. A. Crenshaw, St. Louis. Perry Parker is Grand Chairman of the Association; O. E. Robinson, Grand Secretary; J. W. Duncan, Treasurer, and T. R. Webb, Comptroller. All financial matters are in charge of the comptroller. All money received is deposited in banks to the credit of the Association and can be disbursed only by voucher issued by the secretary and checks drawn by the treasurer and countersigned by the comptroller. All officers are paid by the Association from Association funds, and are responsible only to the Board of Directors and to the Grand Association. The Pullman Company has nothing whatever to do with the funds except to assist in their collection. It co-operates and assists the officers in their work, but has no voice in the disbursement of funds or the management of the Association. During the last three years a new element has entered the Association through the opening of the repair shops to Negro employees. Several thousand of our people are here employed and many of them have become members of the Association. Since the Association was organized in its present form in 1921, 386 death benefits aggregating $330,133.11 have been paid to beneficiaries of deceased members; 7,733 sick and accident benefits aggregating $194,341.77 have been paid to members, making total disbursements for benefits amounting to $524,474.88. The assistance thus rendered to needy dependents and to members and their families in times of distress is incalculable. The Association is doing active, earnest work for all of its members, and is receiving the hearty co-operation and support of every one.

ORGANIZATION OR RUIN-SAYS EDITOR DAVIS The controversy concerning the organization of the Pullman Porters has aroused a nationwide interest. That is as it is for it involves the largest single industrial group in the race. The reader is entitled to a full statement of the news developments connected with the story; and they have a right to an editorial analysis of the matter. The editor of each paper as a rule, presents his observations and conclusions in accord with his views and policy of his paper. Offtimes editors are jealous of this prerogative; but when another can present as dispassionate a survey of the case as has Benjamin Jefferson Davis in the Atlanta Independent of October 31, the Tribune editors take pleasure in reprinting that editorial survey with full credit to the writer. It is a clear presentation of the case. The editorial is herewith submitted with a few elisions in the interest of space saving: Howard Against Organization The question at issue is the organization of the Pullman porters, nation-wide, into a common union for the better protection of their common interest. This is the question that Messrs. Howard and Randolph are disputing about. . . We are going to address ourselves to the purpose and benefit of meritorious organization. The question of organization far outweighs the personalities of the disputants; therefore, further than to give the public the facts upon which to judge whether the men are actuated by selfish or patriotic motives we will not go. . . Organization is as old as the Union. The States could not effect their independence so long as they hung separately apart. But in order to secure their independence and freedom, they formed a union of states and called this union the United States of America. They issued the Declaration of Independence, adopted a Constitution, and declared themselves a free and independent people. The Pullman Company is organized, and has trained organizers in charge of every line of its business, and if it is helpful to the Pullman people to perfect an organization for the protection of the company, why would it not be helpful and wise for the porters to organize for mutual protection among themselves, and for increased efficiency in the service of the company? There is no success in any line of business in America where there is not active and effective organization. Organization does not necessarily mean antagonism to capital any more than the organization of capital means antagonism to labor. Both mean a better community of understanding between both organizations, rather than individual settlement between capital and labor. Organized labor means better service, more efficiency, and a more equitable distribution of the profits of capital and labor between the employer and employee. Both have the inalienable right to organize for mutual protection. Capital and labor ought to be partners and not one striving to starve the other. . . The genius of American wealth and intelligence is organization. Without sane and substantial organization of the forces of our inexhaustible resources, America would not be able today to finance the world. . . Matters not who argues against organization of Pullman porters, or any other group of men for mutual protection, the argument is fallacious and without merit in either morals or law. Organization is the weapon of self-defense with which all men who work should be armed. . . Let the porters organize for the common promotion of a common good, and then let the company treat with their union on all questions affecting their service or economic rights, just as it does with the conductors' union, and other railway employees. If the American Federation of Labor wants to help the porters perfect an organization, let them do it. Accept their experience and advice, and do not try to raise the race question in order to separate black labor from white labor. The Negro laboring man needs help and advice from any source that adheres to the principles of 100 per cent Americanism. The Negro does not, and will not accept any advice from Moscow. . . The Negro's one fundamental weakness in the national life, is, his lack of organization industrially, economically and politically. Can better stated, his lack of organization in everything that affects his life and existence. Disorganization is our ruin, or better stated, unorganization. The lack of organization among our group is the one menace that threatens vitally the perpetuity of the Randolph for Organization greatest benefit from both capital and labor. Let the porters organize, and there is no reason why the Pullman Company should hire an attorney to keep the porters unorganized while the conductors and all the other employees of the company are organized. RESIDENTIAL PIONEERS Much bitter criticism has been cast at those of the race who have elected to move into "exclusive white residence sections," so-called. It is not unusual to hear expressions, the sum total of which means, "He can't bear to live among us." Yet because of these residential pioneers, Negroes have largely been able to live in and under better conditions. Le Droit Park is one of the most illustrative examples that we can cite. Only a few years ago, less than a generation, there was not to be found a Negro resident in the park. The only Negroes living there were servants of white families. Today, there are few, if any, white families to be found in the section which was formerly the park. And of these, perhaps ninety-five per cent are engaged in business. This present condition was brought about by those residential pioneers who had the "nerve" to brave the dangers to person and property and to face the humiliations of a prejudiced race. Thus Negroes are living in homes beautiful in appearance and convenient in arrangement. We, as a race though we more or less appreciate beauty and crave the most modern conveniences—lack that initiative, perception and perspective necessary to the erection of homes to our liking. We are more ready to buy than to build. Therefore, our residential pioneers are due some praise for making it possible for all of us to enjoy the use of more modern homes, better streets and the like. We should give these pioneers our moral and financial support in their efforts to prevent segregation by a property-owners' agreement. We must do so with the realization that, if an ingenious property-owners' agreement against men of color' can be made acceptable to the courts, it will serve to confine members of our race to definitely fixed residential limits, and we shall see established Negro sections in the cities of this country conformable to the Jewish "ghetto" of some parts of Europe. Furthermore, it will be a precedent which may be used to the disadvantage of not only Negroes, but also Jews or Gentiles, Catholics or Protestants alike. Property-owners should not be permitted to make the courts enforce an agreement which prevents one race from selling to another. To do so may eventually affect all kinds of realty and bring into conflict the whole spirit of American institutions and society. We must organize our forces f;or there seems to be a miasma of race-segregation spreading the country over. We must give our residential pioneers our whole hearted support, lest the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States be violated. SHADOWS OF WILSON With the cessation of the latest Balkan hostilities, rhapsodic praise and maudlin exaggeration of this success of the League of Nations may be heard from all sections of the world. After reading these, without allowing good, sound judgment to have sway, one would be inclined to believe that war and rumors of wars shall be no more; that angels are now weeping with joy over the progress which this Greco-Bulgarian settlement represents. But the truth of the matter is the league counted for exactly nothing during the fight between Poland and Russia. Nor were its mandates adhered to while Turkey and Greece exploded gunpowder; for on this occasion, Great Britain, the most powerful member of the league, saw fit to urge Greece on. Neither was there a high estimate of the league's importance during the clash between Lithuania and Poland, when Poland took and kept, and thus gave birth to an ineasant quarrel. And, during that tragic episode of Corfu in 1923, members of the league were in session at Geneva, discharging their eloquence, while Italy, a major power, stood firm. Why then should we think the millennium has arrived? Are not segregation, discrimination and their attendant evils increasing. Was there before the Greco-Bulgarian dispute any major power involved or any nation especially interested which has a representative sitting on the league council? Why then should we accept the latest Balkan settlement as more than a minor achievement of the league. Yet we may concede that it is the first successful handling of an explosion after a series of failures. The real trouble lies in the fact that the league is a mirror in which are reflected the Governments that support it. The governments themselves must be changed before we can have the kind of league we need. And nothing short of a revolution, probably violent, can effect that change in governments necessary to establish a league capable of giving expression to the will to peace through justice and the operation of democratic principles and purposes. The league can not be promotive of peace if it is to be paralyzed by governmental control and by the rule requiring unanimity in its procedure. Its representation must be democratized and freed from the monopolistic control of be deviling governments, lest it be a fading shadow of Wilson instead of an instrument for promoting international peace and domestic tranquility which is of first importance in human progress. The recent settlement, it is admitted, shows progress. The league should gain in prestige and experience. The stage is better set for peace. The Locarno paets have brought western Europe into a united front for the first time since the World War. But, let us not court disappointment and handicap the league's future by laying too much stress upon its few real achievements, nor repose over zealous confidence in the league until we are assured it can perform the one purpose reasonably expected of it—draw the attention of the world to the major injustices and obstacles which exist THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1925 My People and Other Folks Saw a story in the Tribune and other papers last week about a prominent churchman in the Congregational Convention telling his co-workers about the value of newspaper advertising in arousing interest in the church. He stated that publicity and display advertising was a splendid medium, and that it obtained as satisfactory results for a church as for a department store. That aroused our editorial interest somewhat, with the result that we find his words confirmed by actual practice and results. The Editor and Publisher, an authoritative trade journal, published an extract from the address of Rev. Laurence Walker, a minister of Saco, Maine, delivered before the New England District convention of Associated Advertisers Clubs. Reverend Walker said: "Newspaper advertising is a tremendous factor in the success of the modern church. . . . The money my church puts into each week's advertising comes back in the next Sunday evening collection, several fold increased." That many progressive churches in Washington have the same conviction is confirmed by a review of the 63 paid advertisements of eleven different denominations that appeared in the October 24, issue of the Evening Star. A large number appears each week. Four of those advertisements were paid display announcements for Colored churches. The Tribune of concurrent date had precisely NO CHURCH ADVERTISING AT ALL. It did, however have 28 inches of religious announcements in the form of "news" and 74 inches of newsmatter concerning ministers, conferences, etc. The Star published 38 inches of religious news, NONE OF WHICH CONCERNED NEGRO CHURCHES OR PREACHERS. For donating 12 per cent of its space to the church, the TRIBUNE received no business award, while the white publication received from colored churches a substantial business support for no part at all in the less than three-fourths of ONE PER CENT of its space, which the Star allotted to church news. One need not wonder at the hard time Negro papers have in their effort to remain in existence and fight the Race's battles, when our ministers need a wider congregation than may be enclosed within the walls of a church. This brings the subject of newsmatter to mind. Much of the news submitted to colored papers is provided by volunteer reporters who usually represent an organization group or, perhaps, someone's desire for publicity. Almost all of these contributors of news material get peeved when they find the editor has "edited" their material. There is a howl at any change in the copy even though every essential of the story and all of the names be retained. Changes involves work, therefore editors—who as a rule dislike work as much as does the rest of humanity—don't do that just for fun. Conformity with the policy of the paper, the saving of space, better diction or grammar, a re-arrangement that brings out the important phase more emphatically, legal requirements or any number of reasons may have prompted the alterations in the story. The viewpoint of the editor is influenced solely by his responsibility to the buyers of his paper. The gift of a bit of news does not entitle one to the control of a newspaper. Now we have "The Negro Youth Movement," a high sounding something that breathes promise of redemption for our boys and girls in its title. Developments to date indicate a somewhat different trend. It seems to be an exceedingly well devised plan to help its promoters to avoid real labor and reap a nice harvest of profits by "three ringing" the old one ring dance circus that has been the principal joy of our youths as well as the source of income for scheming promoters for lo, these many years. Time was when a dance promoter rented a hall, bought some placards for the barber shop, engaged a band, and took his own chances on putting the affair over after having spent his own money to capitalize the venture. Not so now. It seems they first think up an alluring title, then write a lot of bunk copy for press releases, then get, or attempt to get, the newspapers to capitalize the venture by giving their space in lieu of cash "to promote public interest." The latest venture of the sort is quartered in Philadelphia from where a clever and well educated man is promoting dances and popularity contests in half dozen cities. His program calls for dances strung along in a series that will last from now until next autumn. A fine piece of "hippodroming." But just what "advance" that provides for our youths already suffering from too much "interpretative dancing" and sich, and too little willingness to work, it is hard to determine. Seems as though a SOCIAL WORKER is one who emphasizes the "Social" part of his vocation and fears the "Work" phase; thus he becomes a "worker OF the public." Been breakfasting in restaurants lately because friend wife is confined in a hospital for a while. Blue and chilly one morning, yours truly went into a Ninth Street food emporium and was met with a cheery, "Good Morning," from the waitress. Later we were smilingly, asked, "Have you everything you want?" and, an "I thank you," marked the payment of our check. Man! That nice girl sent us on our way to the morning's duties with an entirely changed view of life; and it didn't cost any more than the gruff service that usually characterizes the morning hours in many Negro restaurants. COURTESY, AN ASSET By C. Leslie Frazier Salesmanship is a subject on which the fellow on the other side of the counter may express himself to the advantage of all concerned. Sometimes the small things overlooked-deals a death-blow to the future of the sales-person, and even to the firm by which the sales-person is employed. Remember that every office clerk, editor, newsboy, barber, banker, lawyer, cobbler, hotel keeper, and actor—is a sales-person. Each has something to offer for money. The principal asset of all of these should be courtesy. Business courtesy is due to the man in rags, the rough-neck, the child. So often has the writer seen a child-customer come into a store or office while the sales-person or salespersons were holding social "contabs," and upon the request of the child-customer for service, the child was scolded. Often the child-customer is the representative of its parents or of an employer. What you do to this child-customer you do to whom he or she represents. Too, the child of today is the adult of tomorrow. There are many salespersons today whose salesmanship would be more successful if they gave to the child-customer the courtesy and consideration due even to the least of all. The rough-neck and the person in rags is worthy of your most courteous consideration. Your place of business is an exchange place—of value given for value received. The rough-neck and the person in rags bring to you courtesy and money in exchange for courtesy and commodity. Give like value for value received. Not doing so, you gain an enemy, and neither business nor persons can regard empathy, as an asset. Impatience at the ignorance of your customer—that is, the ignorance he or she shows in matters pertaining to your particular business—is a cheap brand of discourtesy. Its cheapness is enhanced because the superior attitude you take towards him or her is so evidently ridiculous—you are afflicted with the same amount of ignorance concerning business in other lines than your own. Be courteous and patient, smooth over matters by giving a synopsis of the workings of your business so that your customer has some idea of what is being paid for. This little act of courtesy not only makes a good customer of the person so considered, but he or she also becomes a good advertising medium for you. The "Superior Complex" The "Superior Complex" Don't become a superior being unto yourself because of a certain degree of success. Don't think that you know all things. Don't think that your customers, nor that your co-workers, are mere clowns while you are, not merely IT, but "the it". It down to earth and deal with the issue at hand, and that issue is to make more successful the buisenss that you are in. Confer with your employer; don't be content with just putting in eight hours a day. Study the business; read current literature relative to your particular line of business; make suggestions to your employer, these are steps toward master salesmanship and to the success of your firm. Never get so familiar with your customers that you think it unnecessary to extend to them the business courtesy and consideration that is due them in business matters. Exchange ideas with your co-workers, handle the dust cloth a little brush down the cob-webs, keep an eye on your window display—but none of these suggestions will appeal to the "I-know-it-all" type of salesperson with an inflated ego. Ge'rid of that "superior complex," for in so doing it will be easier for you to be the possessor of the greatest of all assets in the realm of salesmanship—and that is courtesy. Y. M. C. A. News The Y. M. C. C. A. Gymnasium program has been greatly broadened to meet the constant needs of the men and boys of this city. Many new attractions have been added to the last years program which was limited because of inadequate facilities. Every person whether a member or not is invited around to inspect the general improvements in the Twelfth Street Branch, gymnasium facilities. Business and Professional Men's Classes have been organized. Classes will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week from 12:30 to 1:30 and 3:00 to 4:00.

Leagues must register immediately with the Physical Director. The Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. opens its winter program with many innovations for the Boys and their friends. The new Boys' Department occupies about 4,200 square feet of floor space and is entirely separate from the men's activities. The boys have at their disposal two billiard tables, three bowling alleys, a ciroque table, and a ping pong table. Games galore are provided for the boys to amuse themselves and to try their skill including several baseball games, a dart baseball game, and indoor quoits. The most important features on the fall program is the formation of an Hi-Y Club in each of the Junior High Schools. The large group of boys who are not attending school will be formed into a club known as the Employed Boys' Brotherhood. These clubs will have a room for their use and their meetings in the "Y". The Hi-Y Clubs will have speakers and entertainers to address the student body of their respective high schools at different times during the year. MARIAN ANDERSON HONORED More than a thousand admirers of Marian Anderson, famous contralto, winner of the Stadium Prize and soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra honored her at a monster gathering in Thomas Durham Public School, Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Lindsey, music director, predicted a great future for the singer. Miss Anderson sang several operatic arias and closed with a beautiful Verdi number. In Burleigh's "The Wolf" she made a pronounced impression. As an added feature Carrie Sasser, eighth grade pupil and Elizabeth Cummings, six years old, played a piano number among other selections by pupils. A bouquet of beautiful red roses was presented Miss Anderson. COLE TALBERT WRITES FROM ITALY Florence Cole Talbert, coloratura soprano, who is studying in Tivoli near Rome, Italy, writes back this bit of gossip news: An American woman (from Arkansas) in my class said she was shocked when I came into the same hotel with them and that I wouldn't think of doing that in America. I replied "This is not America, so why show the Italians how ignorant you are?" Furthermore she writes: "My object is to inspire those back home, and if it is necessary for them to go to a foreign country to test their ability, do so when they are ready. It is a relief to be away from jazz and the K.K.K. which to my mind, go together. I hope they will soon die together." McCORMACK TUNKS TO SPIRITUAL.

A volume of 711 pages priced at $5.25. In this book, Carter G. Woodson has done several things. First he has set a precedent for Negro authors in submitting the volume to review by critics of the group that is most interested in the subject treated, who, if nt so careful or efficient analysts at least have the same reaction of mind as have the majority of the potential readers. If the Association for the study of Negro Life and History achieves no more than this volume, its existence has been justified. If Woodson never makes another contribution to the libraries of our schools and homes, he will pass on with the knowledge that he has merited his reward. filled with interest to those who would the past of our people in America and who want a broad picture of the progress we have made, for in presenting the exhibits that largely comprise the material in the book, he has with them, presented a very complete visualization of the whole fabric of race life with clear lines of demarkation between the periods. is a book you open with a degree of hesitancy fearful of it being under tones only to lay in down with regret at leaving the interesting characters that its pages disclose. holds attention, in addition it assures the reader that he has added to his library a worthwhile reference work. Beginning with "Othello" in 1688 then jumping to James Forten of 1808 and 1813, the book carries the reader down thru the faseinating years of our history with its kalledescope of varying phases.

Perhaps not all of the speakers who have graced the platform are mentioned; but there are few worthy of preserving to posterity that have been missed.

It is respectfully dedicated to the fellow who doesn't see the bright side of life in all of its golden glory. Life to some, is sweet, like the perfume of a new born rose, while to others' it's just one gloomy thing after another. It is to the latter that these verses are dedicated. I Is there any good in kicking when you're down and out and broke? Is there any use in fussing 'cause the whole thing ain't a joke? Does it mend the broken pieces just to sit around and wail? mit you be beat and fail? When it seems the world's against you and you surely have no friends. When it seems each day that rolls around its doleful message sends, And when you rise each morning 'tis the same old tale of yore. How do you know "Dame Fortune" is not knocking at your door? III When the world seems just the hardest and the fight seems almost gone, Remember that it's darkest just prior to the dawn. And when you feel it's all no use and your soul cries out aloud— Just think of the "silver lining" held by every darksome cloud. IV So when you think this world of ours is treating you so bad, And you're feeling just too blue to live, and solemn like and sad, Just stop and think a little like philosopher's of old, And you will see the daily blessings are dearer to you than gold. presented with examples of their work.

Masonic Musings (By Mac) Grand Royal Matron, Mrs. Georgia B.

Miss Nellie A. Srunders, Royal Matron of Prince Hall Chapter, and her corps of officers, had prepared a special playlet entitled "The Female Mason" as an entertainment for the Grand Officers, and it was presented in fine style and provoked much amusement.

There were no powder marks on the light overcoat which he was wearing, however, and the jury refused to free the woman. It was testified that Crump had brought a woman into his home Saturday night or early Sunday morning by the name of "Stell." The two had remained there for about an hour drinking, after which they went out, and Crump did not return home until late Sunday afternoon, witnesses stated. He ordered his wife to give him his dinner, it was testified, and she told him to go and eat where he had been eating. He threatened to kill her and they began a tussle over possession of his gun, during which the fatal shot is said to have been fired. The woman fled from the scene, She later met Policeman James Scott of the eighth precinct who was off duty, and told him about the tragedy. He advised her to surrender and accompanied her to the police station where she told officers about the shooting. There were no eye witnesses. She is represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott.

WASHINGTON, Funeral Director his experiences at Howard. He stated that he felt that no one had a greater right to speak in the Rankin Memorial Chapel than himself for he had bossed its construction at the age of six years. He stated that he still treasured in his archives one of the first compositions he ever wrote which was at Howard University. He paid particular tribute to the language and mathematical training which he had received under Professors Lightfoot and Syphax. But more than this of lasting value toward his fitness for his work in China was the spirit of brotherhood that was inculcated on the Howard University Campus. His eyes filled with tears as he recounted the experiences of his boyhood days at Howard. The Choral Society, under the direction of Miss Lulu V. Childers, rendered the Halleluujah Chorus from Handel's "Messiah" in mid-season form. Mr. Lester Dorsey sang "Going Home" as a baritone solo. At the conclusion of the services, the student body sang the Alma Mater. Following the Alma Mater, James B. Cobb, a member of the senior class, led an appropriate yell, transforming the entire audience into a rejuvenated Howard rabble. Many other visitors in attendance upon the National Council of Congregational Churches at the Washington Auditorium were present and were shown about the campus after the Chapel services by special guides under the direction of the office of Alumni and Field Secretary. The voluntary presence of such a large number of students was a most befitting tribute of respect to the founders and an evidence of appreciation for the privileges afforded at Howard.

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

PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN Discovers A Remedy That Grows Hair Almost Over Night Says She Is Willing to Give Secret to Anyone Who Wants Long Hair After a long spell of sickness Mrs. P. O. Burton of 1387 Christian street South Philadelphia, Pa., found herself almost bald. Her hair had fallen out 'n handfuls and it was so short she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of but got no results whatever. Final she gave up the thoughts of ever being able to get anything to give results, when she discovered that her hair had stopped falling, and was gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself), and after a few months her hair was long enough to fix up in any style. Mrs. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought at any drug store and that she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Note: Mrs. Burton has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she's passing on the secret that gave her beautiful hair. It's free! Just send stamped envelope to Mrs. P.

The air was filled with Howard passes, with Campbell and Long, doing the receiving. The "Bisons" used two different teams, one in each half. Both gained ground through the "Tarheels" line at will and broke up every attempt of the North Carolinians even to score a first down. Payne, Howard quarterback, dropped a field goal from the 35-yard line and added four extra points after touchdowns in the first half as the result of receiving passes. "Tick" Smith, halfback, smashed through the line for two touchdowns in the first half. The substituting eleven had no trouble in piling up a score of thirty-three points in the second half. Tyson and Carter carried the ball over twice for touchdowns in the second quarter, and Dodson rushed it across once. Coles drop-kicked three extra points after touchdowns out of five chances. Williams and Meekins were the outstanding players of the North Carolina State aggregation. **Howard(70)** N. C. Colleaze(0) *Long* R.E. Wilson *V.B.Smith* R.T. O.Kelly *Kelly* R.G.

Institute Wins From Simmons By A. Washington Institute, W. Va., Oct. 30—On last Saturday fate was unkind to football fans, for a flurry of snow set in early in the morning and continued all day. The field at Institute, on which the Simmons-West Virginia game was fought, was discouraging. The weather was enough to dishearten any team, but to fight throughout four fifteen minute periods with its back to the wall, its line smashed and unable to gain advantage in any department of the game was too much for the boys from Simmons Univ. of Louisville, Kentucky, and what was last year the victor of a 3-0 score, is today the victim of a 32-0 counter. West Virginia scored during the first quarter of the game, when Lowery rushed the ball over from the four-yard line. A pass, Turner to Gaithers, counted for the extra pivot. Passes were frequent today, despite the fact that the ball was slippery and the men's fingers stiff and cold. The first half ended Simmons 0, Institute 7. During the second half, the progress was slow. In the opening of the third quarter, Institute began with a series of line plunges, which swept the Simmonites from their feet. The ball was rushed to the 10-yard line of the opponents, fumbled and recovered by a Kentuckian. Receiving the ball on Kentucky's 30-yard line, Turner ran through the line for the second touchdown. Branch scored the third counter, after McConnell had advanced the pill to the one-yard line. The longest run of the game occurred when Boyd received on his 40-yard line and ran to within 15-yards of scoring distance when he was picked up from behind after stumbling. Amos the heaviest back on Institute's line-up was sent in and furnished interference for the next touchdown by Boyd. Institute made many substitutions and scored another touchdown soon after the beginning of the fourth period of play. McConnell added this six with Robinson missing the try after touchdown. RoamersandStonewall Play to 0-0 Tie RoamersandStonewall Play to 0-0 Tie In a game featured by good defensive playing throughout the entire four periods, the Stonewall A. C. of this city and the Alexandria Roamers battled to a scoreless tie on last Sunday, November 1, on the Stonewall's home grounds at 6th and K Streets, Southeast. The outstanding star of the game was Stillards, left end for the Roamers, whose defensive playing surpassed any seen on sand lot football grids this season. The Roamer's manager stated to the Tribune representative, that notwithstanding the fact that an agreement was made prior to the game in which the Stonewalls were to pay a portion of the transportation expenses of the visiting Roamers, that the Stonewall manager flatly refused to keep this agreement without making any excuse or apology. During the game, volunteer collections were made under the pretext of defraying the expenses of the visiting team. Since the visiting team did not receive any of this collection, the conclusion is easily reached that the public was at least mislead in making their contributions. Such acts will necessarily injure the sport of independent football. Be fair Stonewalls, and help build up the sport don't lower it. Morgan College Holds Lincoln Lions to 7-7 Tie ```markdown ``` Lions Fail to Score Until Final Period Baltimore, Md., Nov. 4—The Morgan College Bears held the Lincoln Lions to a 7-7 score here Saturday. Lincoln was outplayed. Most of the game was in Lincoln territory. "Pinky" Clark, shared honors with Anderson. Clark's hurling of forward passes was remarkable. In the third quarter, a pass, Clark to Hill was good for 10 yards and Hill ran 40 yards for a touchdown and the first score. Young failed to kick goal but the extra point counted as Lincoln was offside. Anderson smashed his way from the 40-yard line for a touchdown in the last quarter for Lincoln tieing up the score. Anderson kicked goal. Local fans protested the Lincoln touchdown. **Morgan(7)** Lincoln(7) McIntyre ..... L.E. ..... Lancaster(c) Williams ..... L.T. ..... Myers Chase ..... L.G. .....

Virginia Seminary Defeats St. Paul Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 31—Virginia Seminary overwhelmed the St. Paul eleven before an enthusiastic crowd on Russell Field today, 20 to 3. An inadequate air defense and poor offensive judgment contributed largely to the downfall of the "wonder team." Three times the Seminary cleats engraved their imprint on the territory behind St. Paul's goal posts while only once was the Tiger able to score, and that score was via, a field goal from the 25-vard line. There was no scoring in the first half. The first period was St. Paul's but Seminary reigned supreme in the second. Early in the first act St. Paul threatened to score. Seminary fumbled on her 24-yard line and St. Paul recovered. Smith, on a well-timed fake, went through the line for 17 yards, placing the ball on Seminary's 7-yard line. The Tigers lost the ball on downs. Near the end of the second chapter Whedbee's 30-yard pass to Hoyle placed the ball on St. Paul's 18-yard line. St. Paul retaliated by forcing the Dragons to lose the ball on downs. The half ended with the ball in Seminary's possession on her 20-yard line. Seminary scored early in the third period. St. Paul fumbled on her 40-yard line. Seminary got 20 yards around the ends. A 17-yard pass, Whedbee to Brown, placed the ball on St. Paul's 3-yard line. St. Paul held for two downs, but on the third down Brown went through center for a touchdown. Brown made the extra point from a placement kick. St. Paul scored in the third quarter. A 30-yard pass, Smith to Baker, placed the ball on Seminary's 5-yard line. Scri伯 hit through tackle for 3 yards. St. Paul lost 2 yards on the second play. On the third down St. Paul lost 8 yards. Hudson kicked a field goal from his 25-yard line on the fourth down. Seminary added 13 points in the final frame. Hoyle grabbed a 42-yard pass from Whedbee behind St. Paul's goal line for a touchdown. Brown added another point from a placement kick. Another pass, Whedbee to Brown, placed the ball on St. Paul's guard for the third and final touchdown. Brown's placement kick after this touchdown went wild. Hudson's punting and all-round playing was unexcelled. Baker's, Byrd's, and Pierce's running back of punts and their defensive and offensive playing was scintillating. Captain Boykins, Williams, J. Oliver, Bannister, Blackwell and Hall, Scriber and Smith, played a brilliant game. St. Paul(3) Seminary(20) Bannister L.E. Walker Blackwell L.T. Jeffries Williams L.G.

Reo Fuel Oil Equipment Company Reo Fuel Oil Equipment Company Distributors for the Oliver Oil Burner Corporation Phone, North 1388 1937 14th Street, N.W. By Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, Head of the Department of Physical Training, Junior and Senior High Schools The question, often asked, "Why is there a difference between officiating as an umpire in baseball and officiating in football or basketball?" deserves answer. In baseball a man is either out or safe. It is either a strike or not a strike. But the football or basketball official must constantly make decisions which involve penalties for violation of the rules of the game. He is arresting a law breaker and by this act he indicts the ethics, the honor, or the sportsmanship of his captive. He may have broken the rules through ignorance, then the coach is a poor teacher or the player a dull pupil. His act may have been unintentional, then he is clumsy, inadequately trained or careless. He may have been just plain "dirty," then there is something fundamentally wrong with him or his coach. In any event many decisions falling to the lot of the football or basketball official challenge the training or honor of player or coach or both. In view of this it is not strange that clashes occur now and then; on the contrary we should marvel that they are not strange that clashes occur now and then; on the contrary we should marvel that they are not more frequent. Most officials are amateurs in the best sense of that abused word. They are men who have felt the thrill of bis for defeat, hence an official's lease Floyd' Johnson Says Wills Can't Hit New York, Nov. 5—Floyd Johnson, who only two weeks ago was saved from a sudden and violent end at the fists of Harry Wills when his manager tossed a towel into the ring in the first round, certainly fits the definition of what constitutes an optimist. While still feeling himself all over to make sure that he was there, shortly after his massacre by Wills, Johnson was quoted as declaring: "Wills can't fight! Demsey will kill him. He has no defense. He is the easiest man in the world to hit." In view of what happened to Floyd in Newark the other night, he would probably stick out his tongue at the Empire State Express after the engine and the first nine cars had run over him. In the opinion of those who watched proceedings in the Newark affair, Wills looked to be in better condition on that occasion that at any time in the last two or three years, and although it may be true that "he can't hit," he had Johnson reeling and primed for the knock-out in just about two minutes after the opening bell. It is difficult to see what more Wills could be expected to do, under the circumstances. Was Floyd disappointed in what he received from Wills? Didn't he "get his" quick enough? Johnson scarceely had time to count the house over before he was being helped from the ring. Dumb—Where does the jellyfish get its jelly? Dumber—From the ocean currents of course. on life is longer. Officials generally are going on the field regarding teams as simply combat teams, A and B, forgetful of all influences and automatically and instinctively making their rulings. Whereas a few years ago there were only about a half dozen good officials, now there are cropping up in the various sections men of high calibre who can run a game as well as any officials anywhere in the country. A few years ago we depended upon white men, but that racial inferiority complex has lost out among men of the athletic world in the colleges and high schools for our group. competition and still yearn to be a part of the game. They are as officials what they were as players, but in the great part are motivated by wholeheartedly honest impulses to run the game according to the rules. The only way to develop good officials in any line of sport is through the formation of groups for improvement. This may be done by wisely restricting membership, and by improving the personnel, by teaching thoroughly the letter, interpretation and spirit of the rules of the games. The coaches' attitude towards the officials is of primary importance. The coach often is unwilling to admit that his team has been clearly outplayed or that some bonehead play has been responsible for a defeat and must need find a goat upon which to unload. In these days, however, when the permanency of the coaches job does not depend altogether upon the victories won there is less of the need on the part of coaches to furnish ali- Dunbar High Loses To Booker. Washington Norfolk, a., Nov. 3—The fighting "Bookers" of Booker T. Washington High School, in a last minute rally downed the strong eleven of Dunbar High School, of Washington, D.C., in a hard-fought contest, which was featured by frequent kicking. It was a kicking duel with the visiting eleven having a marked advantage in this department of the fray. The field was muddy and heavy which made the game void of as much flash as was expected. Runners were nailed before being able to get started. These conditions held Johnson, the flashy quarter of the fighting Bookers from making his usual dashes on running back punts. Booker Washington's lone tally came when the ball was worked down to Dunbar's 5-yard line and pass from Johnson to "Bob" Tolliver was completed. "Bob" Tolliver and A. Tolliver got away with good gains on several occasions. The feature of the game was the hard tackling of Teamer, sub left end for the local eleven. The entire Dunbar eleven played creditable ball throughout the game. **Booker Wash. (7)** Dunbar(0) Teamer L.E. Fowler Baison L.T. Wright Diggs L.G. Gibson Tucker Center Shelton A.Tynes R.G.

Johnnie too, is a bit to blame for not having new material. The burlesque bit on "Breaking into jail" has been done so much that audiences know just what is coming. In instances of this sort, the producer suffers by comparison with those who have garnered previous laughs from a vehicle. However, Johnnie and Herman Brown did well with the material.

The fact that ten big acts are announced, notifies all that it's the real thing: Elephants, lions, ponies, even so many other animals besides the humans who do an aerial act and perform other stunts just as they have under the big tents all summer. The lions in this circus are exceptional performers, doing, all the wonderful work of the expert trainer of leonine beings. Sometimes to entertain everybody is the goal D. W. Griffith, set for himself and more than achieved it in producing "Sally of the Sawdust" ranked by critics as one of the six best pictures of the year. It is gay with laughter, merry with charming drolleries, full of cut-ups, yet always a story of pathetic warmth to a finish that is as exciting. There will be no increase in prices, regular daily matinee and mid-nite show on Friday. There, is mail for the following persons in the Tribueh office.

She spent her spare time and a lot of the company's time gazing into mirrors and dreaming of becoming an actress. It is a new kind of a story in a new kind of way.

The result is that one may find people from every part of the city in its audience almost every performance. It is no longer a local house, though the special aim of the proprietor, Merrit Wilson, is to make the house an asset to our group in the Southwest part of town. His results EGENERATION STEVE REYNOLDS are due to fearless booking of attracting without regard to cost in full confidence that his public will support his policy. On Monday and Tuesday of next week, he is presenting the Norman Film Company, production of "Regeneration," a film with an all-Colored cast; and with the film he has engaged Steven Reynolds, who played one of the leading characters to make a personal appearance. Mr. Reynolds is the only one-legged artist of our Race, and one of the very few in filmdom. It will be interesting to meet him. So great was the demand for seats at the 24 performances of the "Tep Commandments," that was recently presented there to packed houses for every performance of its run, that Mr. Wilson instructed Manager F. Davis to arrange with the New York bookers of the Biblical attraction to have the film returned for Thursday and Friday of next week. In spite of the many shafts levelled at the screen producing directors, they do serve a worthy purpose, and once in a great while one among them achieves a really great something. Cecil DeMille did just this when he produced the gigantic story of funda An Open Letter to Union Deputies An Open Letter to Union Deputies Deputies:- Search your record, your own minds and the history of results that may be attributed to you, each for himself. Then truthfully answer, again to your self the question. HAVE I DONE MY DUTY? Has every professional you have met been approached on the matter of joining the Union? Have you attempted to convine the doubtful? Have you cultivated friends for the Union among managers? Have you discussed the Union with the newspapers? Have you maintained a strict watch for the welfare of the Union members whom you have met? Have you functioned to see that members with cards or claims to membership are paid up? Have you fostered the holding of meetings? Have you tried to learn the basic principles of our Union? Have you studied the policies and practices of other organizations of like character? Have you kept posted by reading the trade journals about what is doing in the show business and its associated lines? Have you reported whereabouts reguarly to the secretary? Have you ever asked for instructions on any particular question that has come before you? Have you reported promptly or Union activities and propects each week to the national office? IN SHORT HAVE YOU BEEN AN OFFICER IN REALITY, OR JUST IN NAME ONLY. If you are in the latter class, get ready to be pushed out of the way of some one who is willing to do the expected work. mental principles laid down in our Bible. Our own Noble Johnson plays a part in this classic. No less than seventeen of the subtitles, those explanatory remarks that make all pictures readily understandable, used in the "Ten Commandments" are verses lifted bodily from the book of Exodus. No less than nine of the larger denominations including the Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Congregational, Episcopal and Presbyterian churches have provided the distributors of this film with testimonials of approval. A special 3 o'clock matinee has been provided for the school children on Thursday and Friday. This of course is available to grown ups, too. Parry and Perry, and Stompy and Stella will provide the vaudeville contingent of the week's bill. Truly this is a great week for the Rosalia. is the & WIN CING D at the RRAY CAS 1920 U STREET, N!

Slashes Woman and Kills Self Belle Lee, 35, and Ernest Rice, 35, were found badly slashed in their apartment, 1822 T Street, Northwest, Wednesday morning. The man died in Emergency Hospital. His head was almost severed. The woman is in critical condition. Neither could talk when police arrived but the woman, nodding her head in answer to questions, indicated the man cut her and then himself. Police rushed her to the hospital in the patrol without waiting for the ambulance. Curtains were torn down and the apartment walls splashed with blood, indicating a struggle, but neighbors knew nothing of the affair until the woman dragged herself across the hall and knocked on Mrs. Rosa Conley's door. The man was found in the kitchen, a small pocket knife at his side. The knife had been closed. Rice is a huckster. The woman was washing clothes when he attacked her. A bucket of water still bubbled on the stove when police arrived. THE ARBRUTUS SEWING SEWING TEA One of the most interesting teas of the season was given by the Arbrutus Sewing Circle on Sunday afternoon from 4:30 to 9:00 at the beautiful home of Mrs. Mary Jackson, 2226 13th Street. The parlor and dining room were artistically decorated with autumn leaves and cut flowers and palms. Mrs. Lizzie Jones introduced the club.

THEATRE ween 2nd and 3rd F. DAVIS —Matinee Sunday 3:00 P.M. The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. Puts Out New Policy Every person is looking for the best financial protection in an insurance contract. The first and most worry consideration in connection with any company lies in its capable and dependable management. The development of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company is under the direct supervision of Mr. C. C. Spaulding, its president, who is known throughout the country as one of the best insurance men we have anywhere. Men associated with Mr. Spaulding, are Messrs. J. M. Avery, vice-president and secretary; W. J. Kennedy, assistant secretary; W. D. Hill and George W. Cox, agency directors; all of whom are men of ability and of unquestionable integrity. The next consideration is the basic or fundamental values: Insurance is the best, first and foremost investment in existence, for the following reasons: Your monthly income can be made today, whatever you want it to be at any given time in the future. For example: If you want your buy to have $6,000 at the age of 25, you take a 10 year contract for $5,000 payable in twelve annual installments. It will earn $1,000 extra for one and the same premium. The estate is guaranteed whether he lives or not and should he become totally disabled, payment of premiums will be waived by the company. An educational or mortgage or pension contract can be taken care of in the same way. Mr. C. C. Spaulding is devoting his entire time to the management of this, the greatest enterprise we have. Within the past ten years the N. C. Mutual has taken over four other large first class companies; it has a splendid six-story fire-proof office building at Durham, North Carolina, worth a half million dollars, which is now and always has been free from debt. Insurance guarantees, better environment, health, comfort, culture and contentment. Think of being connected with a Company having millions of dollars in assets, and these assets earn thousands of dollars annually to enable it to meet the demands of its policy holders promptly. This means that your financial needs are met during your lifetime, by the best scientific process which guarantees to you the full amount of your investment together with its earnings at a time when you need it most. Our capable representatives who have been to the Home Office at Durham, would be glad to answer your questions regarding this investment. Building, 2001 Eleventh Street Washington, D.C.

They are stopping at 24 Dilworth St. Word has been passed out from the Keith offices that no more acts playing the circuit will be permitted to double in the cabarets. This will close a source of big revue to many of our biggest acts. Maharajah has concluded his series of fair dates in New England and along Long Island. He is doing some club work in and about New York City. Recently he appeared with "Elgic" the escape artist at Polish Hall, Jamica, L. I. Harris and Holly who broke in some new material at the Moss Franklin Theater, New York has been very favorably commented upon by the trade journal critics. Abbie Mitchell, was the guest star at a recent Ladies Night of the Drummers Club, New York on Oct. 29. The musical organization with the unique name is rapidly becoming a social feature in Harlem. The new home of "Butterbeans and Susie" (Mr. and Mrs. Jodie Edwards) at 3322 Calumet Avenue, Chicago, was the subject of pictorial treatment in a Chicago paper recently. That's what we call putting one's talent to useful purposes. Hope to record more such happenings. Jenkins and Jenkins (Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah) have gone to New York where they will record several numbers for the Columbia Phonograph Co. The week of November 9, they is comedy at the Dunbar Theatre, Newark, for Leigh Whippier. Maude Nooka Howard, Columbus, Ohio, composer, is arranging to move to New York where she will place her daughters in a school while she places some numbers. "Do Do" Green has been picking up some fine criticisms for his comedy in "Appearances." Evelyn Ellia opened with a dramatic comedy a the Dunbar Theatre Philadelphia in the A. H. Woods piece "The Girl in the Limousine." Frank Fielder heads the company. CharlestonOriginators CharlestonOriginators Four years ago The Charleston dance was introduced to the metropolis in Irving Miller's and Jack Goldberg's "Put and Take" show at Town Hall. For some time prior to that the dance had been featured in the finale or in a number in virtually all of the colored shows on tour. Frank Montgomery and Leonard Harper had used the dance in several productions. They put it into some white floor shows and enabrets, later they and others instructed several white choruses in its simple rhythm. It became a rage, and in 1923-24, these fellows, Billy Pierce and several others made miniature fortunes teaching individual white performers to do the number. They were advised that they were simply selling the last distinctly Negro heritage in the entertainment realm, and that the group would soon lose their hold upon it, as they had about everything else they had lost, also, about everything else they originated. Well, it came to pass. From publications of "Two and a quarter million" circulation down to the low-brow magazines and Sunday special feature sections we are now being informed by this or that white artist or her publicity agent about "How I invented (or discovered) the Charleston." We expected that, but what pained us was to find a number of Negro publications accepting this bold robbery and confirming it by reprinting the bland lie thus giving sanction to the steal that is providing fame for some otherwise very ordinary white performers with salaries in big features long after the poor teachers have spent the few dollars they got for the sale of a "birthright." The Charleston is as old as are our spirituals. They go back with Negro history to early in 1600 in this country, and none know how much farther. Might as well ask who invented the buck and wing on the blues. Philadelphia Representative Vitsits New York City Was in New York last week for a three-day business trip and the mere mentioning of "The Pages" name (J. A. Jackson) caused the scribe to be the recipient of some resplendent hospitality. This was especially true at the Harlem Musical Assn, where I had the good fortune to meet such vocal artists as Carrol Clarke, Columbia record star, Raz Jones and J. L. Johnson. The congenial host Charlie Tohrpe and his able lieutenant "Dick" Travis in showering hospitality are "just too bad." Met Little Florence (Mills of course) who was busy getting ready for her reappearance at the Plantation in "Blackbirds of 1925" supplanting Ethel Waters. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Union Holds Sunday Session The Colored Actors Union held a special meeting on Sunday November 1 to ratify the action of the previous meeting in connection with the nominations and the rules for the coming election. The whole procedure was unanimously approved. Another feature of the session was the acceptance of Mildred Mitchell and "Onions" Jeffries of the "Chocolate Dandies" 'company as members Mr. Jeffries was at once designated the Deputy for the show. The meeting also passed a motion to the effect that the Union members should make every possible effort to have as large special section as is possible in the Christmas number of the Tribune, the official organ. The secretary reported thru Boots Hope acting president, that notices were being sent out to all delinquent members advising them that if they were not fully paid on the books of the financial secretary before November 15 that they would not receive ballots, or be permitted to vote in the forthcoming election. The meeting was comparatively quiet, there being less than 40 members present. "Chocolate Dandies" Headed South Under New Manager. While the show was playing the Howard Theater, Washington, Charles Baron, who was once ahead of "How Come" and who has lately been piloting big feature films for the United Artists, jumped in from Omaha to assume charge of the "Chocolate Dandies' Harry Sterns, an agent, will join the show at Richmond for the tour thru the South, that may terminate in a four weeks,' or longer, tour of Cuba and perhaps Mexico if some pending negotiations are concluded. Both of these men were visitors at The Tribune office while in Washington. So, too, were Andrew Copeland and Onions Jeffries of the cast. A five piece orchestra joined the show leaving Washington. Philadelphia Notes (By Charles Johnson) Changes in Dramatic Cast Out of Town Folks Attend Funeral Shift of Entertainers Other Items of Interest Charles Olden has replaced Jack Carter in the cast of the Evelyn Ellis group of dramatic players at the Dunbar Theatre. Allie Hughes, James Norman, Perry Montague, Shinzie Howard and Mr. Brown are others in the cast. F. M. Mceutte, the veteran director is in charge of the productions. The many beautiful floral tributes from the show folks at the e funeral of the late Mrs. Maud Frisby Mills, wife of "Billy" Mills demonstrated the high esteem in which the deceased was held. "Sam" Craig, stage manager at the Lafayette Theatre, New York, was among the many out of town mourners. Edith Wadell, well known to the profession and patrons after a three-year run at the Roadside Hotel has been added to the entertaining staff at the Oriental Gardens, Washington, D.C. Vivian Brown with Virginia Johnson now at the comedy club, New York City will succeed Miss Wadell at this hostelry on November 9th Vernon Hutchins, entertainer of Baltimore, Md., has already opened here and is becoming a favorite. The musical unit under the leadership of "Josh" Saddler, violinist, has already been proclaimed as "the best in town." The Jackson Jubilee Singers, a musical unit, being booked over Shau-tauqua circuit, through Redpath agency, spent Saturday and Sunday in town en route to Harrisburg, Pa. Lenora Hodges a Washington product, who left her home first as a member of "Hurry Along" Revue, but more recently a member of Irving Miller's "Brown Skin Models" Co. is now a member of Leonard Harper's revue in Connie's Inn. Bill (Bojangles) Robinson after sharing stellar headline honors with "Flo" Mills at the Hippodrome last week is headlining Keith's super-attractive bill here this week. Glen and Jenkins completely "Knocked 'em Cold" at this same house last week despite the fact that they were thrown in a spot where they immediately followed Petrova, the stellar attraction. Theresa West who has recently returned from an extended vaudeville tour through Europe and Asia will make her first appearance since returning home in characteristic oriental dances on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving in the Palais Royal Dance hall, formerly the Olympia Theatre, at the Tattlers Mammoth Erolieu.

Ayres of the Deacons Club is the publicity man for Allah Baba, so you know the world will be fully informed of the affair. He is being assisted by the members of the Ayres Publicity and Advertising Agency, Inc., G. B. Ayres, secretary, age 2; and W. C. T. Ayres, Jr. age 13 months, treasurer. Some youthful officials, but watch their future smoke when the publicity for the 25th annual Thanksgiving Prom is given in 1950. The Deacons have a big interest in the affair for H. P. H. Dickenson, Potentate of the Temple, Charles Hughes chairman of the committee, Nobles Leroy Godman and R. W. Steward of the arrangements committee are all Deacons, and all Deacons playing Columbus or near enough to get there are expected to be present to both work and enjoy the pleasures of the occasion.

DEACONS' SAXAPONE QUARTET The Silas Green show boasts of the only Deacons' Saxaphone Quartette in the land. Deacons J. Hudson, J. Pediford, J. R. Jackson, and A. Blue constitute the group, and they have written for a copy of the official melody of the order. They are advised to write to Senior Deacon Pickett at 80 Dickerman Street, New Haven, for copies of several numbers that the Corner there has made famous. The officially selected number will be determined at the 1926 Convention in Boston. Let the musical Deacons get busy with their scores and lyrics. Besides the above-mentioned the show boasts of several other Deacons all of whom are commended to Prince Hall Masonry wherever they go. Silas Green Owner Wants to He'p Promote Profession In a letter from Kike Gresham, representative of the Tribune on the Silas Green Show, we are asked to furnish the advertising rates for The Tribune as "Mr. Collier is anxious to help the cause, and keeping his advertisement in for the whole year is the most practical way he can think of doing it." Mr. Collier is right, and the Tribune as well as the C. A. U. appreciates the big heartedness of that inquiry. The PAGE, too, is delighted to acknowledge appreciation. The Silas Green Company is now presenting a new production called "Silas Green's Trip Around the World," a feature of which is the illusion of sawing a woman in two Coy Herndon, E. Nelson, E. Moore, J. Davis, A. Blue and A. Salsbury are manipulating the effect. J. Rooks, business manager of the show, has designed a competely new outfit of scenery for the production. While playing Vicksburg, Miss., the show was entertained by Mrs. Mamie Wiggens, wife of the comedian. Her grandmother, a dainty little person, provided a dinner that would have been a credit to the Waldorf Hotel in N. Y. The table was tastefully decorated. At Shreveport, Sam Cohen, ticket man, became an Elk, Kike Gresham and Bill Wiggens functioning as officers in the local lodge for the occasion. The show is now in Georgia. Billy B. Van, celebrated comedian, and radio orator, and now in gay Paree, at the Shubert Theatre, has formulated what he calls "An Actor's Ten Commandments." Some of them follow: Thou shalt be original. Thou shalt not cop thy neighbor's act, nor any portion thereof. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's gift of silence in the dressing-room, but thou shalt take example therefrom. Thou shalt honor thy author and producer, that thy days may be long for the play that gives up the thy daily hunk of bread. Thou shalt not retire to bed when the cock crows, nor arise at thy dinner hour. Thou wouldst be in danger of slumbering into oblivion the gray matter thy Lord hath bestowed upon DramaComedyReview Club Honors Author of "Appearances" Texas Group Provides Finances New York City—Among the honor guests of the thousand members of the Drama Comedy Review Club, founded by Edith Totten, at the grand ball room of the Hotel Astor on October 30, was Garland Anderson, author of "Appearances," the mixed cast production now in the Frolic Theater, New York City. The guest list included Channing Pollack, Dore Davidson, Dennis Neilson Terry, Jane Martin, Dunlur Durant, Mme, Lillian B. Starnes, Minnie Stanley, Mary Glyne, Garland Anderson, Dr. Frances Thornton and Carle Figue. Miss Totten, the founder of the club, is noted for her democratic persistence in recognizing talent without regard to race, color, or creed. The organization she has founded that gives monthly meetings at which plays are considered and worthy thepsians and authors honored is perhaps one of the strongest influences in New York insofar as theatricals are concerned. The membership* is a substantially rich one and a remarkably discerning group of people who are beyond the probability or sinister approach. They can afford to do what they want without let or hindrance of any source. The Tribute is grateful to Elizabeth Kingston List, writer and authority on pedigreed cats for the prompt information on this particular meeting. She is the wife of Alfred List, known world-wide as "Nelse of the Billboard." Both are real friends of the group. Mrs. List's membership is a virtual description of the whole thousand in the club. Due to a misunderstanding as to the date, Mr. Anderson's company was not present, but he came in person; and when introduced by Miss Totten, delivered an address that pleased the group so well that it was unanimously voted that the entire club pledge itself to attend a performance of "Appearances." A pretty general apathy on the part of the newspapers and the dramatic critics have marked the progress of the play, hence the slender capital of the producer, Lester W. Sagar, who put the piece in the Frolic on a rental contract was, exhausted before the show "caught on." The show was saved from an untimely closing by a group of three Texas men who advanced $2,500 that it might continue, wiring for the money to their Dallas bank. The whole progress of the show is so similar to the experiences of "Abe's Irish Rose" playing in its fourth year across the street from the Frolic and with six road shows of the production on tour, that it augurs well for "Appearances." The cast, too, took some sacrifices to help put it over. Indianapolis News J. E. Webb is now located in Indianapolis and will hereafter provide our readers with the latest professional news from the big show town of the middle West. He informs us that the Jules McGarr company played three theatres in two weeks here. A week at the Washington, and a week and Gayety, the Hill chain of houses. Going some for the President's show. Edmonis Henderson topped a bill at the Washington recently with Coleman and Jones, Hardtack Jackson and Gene Bell and the team of LeRoy Morton an deVon Robinson. That was a real big-time bill.

NEW YORK ITEMS (By Charles Matson) Maggie Jones and Miss Ruth Penn opened and are now touring over the T. O. B. A. They met with exceptional success and have the well wishes of all in New York. Miss Jones is a Columbia record singer. Wendall Tolbert has organized a ten piece orchestra in Chicago and they are reported to be doing well. Doc Straine has organized the Hotsy Totsy Co., a one hour tab show, which is full of life and pep. He should do well as there is music, dancing and some good artists are in the cast. George Stamper has supplanted Johnny Hudgins at the Club Alabama. He is doing well. Billy Pierce is reported to be sending a revue to Paris. It was just about this time last year that the above mentioned agent sent a twelve girl revue across. Wilbur Sweatman is still on the United Time and doing well. Sidney Easton has a new and novel act. They are this week at the Lincoln and are "wowing" them at every show, Bert Howell being his newest asset.

Until rehearsals for the new show begin Miss Mills will plav in the two-a-day. Pending the opening of the show, she will be seen at The Plantation room on Broadway for about two months. Despite the heavy billing in the colored districts for the Abe Reynolds' show, playing at a down town burlesque house, the famed Negro artist, Miss FLORENCE MILLS, is not with the show. The Reynolds' show is one of the few on the wheel that has no colored performers doing specialties. They do find it profitable however, to play up with big type the name of an hitherto unknown burlesque actress under the name of the famed colored artist. The names may be just the same, and again the white girl may have adopted it, either way it is being capitalized heavily and to great profit to the show and theater that segregates its Negro patrons after having fooled them into patronizing the house in this specious manner. THE FLORENCE MILLS IS NOT IN WASHINGTON. She is in the Hippodrome Theater, New York, this week. CLARENCE WILLIAMS TRIO AT THE LINCOLN N. Y. The Clarence Williams trio is booked for next week at the Lincoln Theater, New York. Clarence Williams, his wife Eva Taylor and Clarence Todd comprise the group that has become famed over the Radio. This group has broadcasted from a station in almost every city in the country. It is a headline act. ACTORS UNION MEMBERS.
