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. Nass, Illinois Physician Gets State Post Springfield, Ill., Nov. 1, By The Associated Negro Press)—Governor Len Small in a letter to State Leader, Edward H. Wright, last Thursday, announced the appointment of Dr. S. A. Ware of this city as a specialist in the Social Hygiene Division of the Department of Public Health of the State. Dr. Ware who has been a successful practitioner here for many years is not only eminently qualified by reason of his experience and skill, but is one of the well-known men of this section of the state. Dr. Ware is the brother-in-law of Colonel Otis B. Duncan of the Eighth Illinois Regiment. 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.

Haley Douglass, instructor in Dunbar High School, and local sportsman, was operated on at Carson's Private Sanitarium last Sunday night for a ruptured appendix. Mr. Douglass is resting well according to reports from the hospital Thursday, although he is not yet considered out of danger. Last Sunday afternoon while planning to go to Highland Beach, Md., where he is one of the Commissioners, Mr. Douglass while attempting to get in his car, missed the step and fell, rupturing his appendix. He was rushed immediately to Carson's where an operation was declared to be the only thing that woul save his life. This was performed by Dr. Simeon L. Carson as soon as possible after he was admitted. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS HARRIS - DINGLE SUIT REFERRED TO D.C. AUDITOR The suit of J. Gordon Dingle, of New York, against Mortimer M. 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.

Northwest. 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."

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.

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.

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.

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. All business and professional men are invited to sign up in one of the two classes. All Basketball teams desiring to participate in the Y. M. C. A. 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. There is an abundance of material of the agitative age, the deliberative and the pangyic periods of our culture and progress. 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. If any have been left out, it must certainly be because of the fact that material could not be found concerning their work, for the book shows painstaking search for authentic information.

R. Arnold director of publicity, T. O. B. A., Arthur of "I Jes Want Tub Hear They Organ Play 'Neater My God Tub Thee'", "Jim's Gal," "I Wish I Had A Home Sweet Home" and other poems. 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. The book is dedicated most graciously to the memory of the author's sister, Susie Woodson.

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. After the play was over, presentation of handsome gifts were made to the Grand Officers, and refreshments were served which "topped off" the night. The Grand Royal Matron was presented with a huge silver tray, initialed, and with handsomely carved decorations, as a gift from the entire membership of the Chapter, a beautiful leather purse from the officers, an elaborate punch bowl and pencil glasses from a group of friends if the Order, a set of calling cards by Past Grand Master, John E.

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.

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.

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.

Va. Institute Wins From Simmons By A. Washington Institute, W. Va., Oct. 30—On last Saturday fate was unkind to foot- ball fans, for a flurry of snow set in early inthe morning and continued all day. The field at Institute, on which the Siminons-West Virginia game was fought, was discouraging. The weather was enough to dis- hhearten any team, but to fight throughout four fifteen minute per- Gods with its back to the wall, its Tine smashed and unable to gain ad- vantage in any department. of the game was too much for the boys from Simmans Uniy. of Louisville, Ken- tacky, and what was last year the victor of a 8-0 score, is today the victim of a 82-0 counter. + West Virginia scored during the first quarter of the game, when Low- zy rushed the ball over from the four-yard line. A pass, Turner to Gaithers, counted for the extra piont. 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. 2 During the second half, the ne gress was slow. In the opening of the third quarter, Institue began with a Series of line plunges, which swept fhe Simmonites from their feet. ‘The! Bail 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 xan through the line for the second touchdown. Branch scored the third eounter, after McConnell had advanced fhe pill to the one-yard line. The Tongest run of the game occurred ‘when Boyd received on his 40-yard line and ran to within 15-yards of scor- ing distance when he was picked up #rom behind after stumbling. Amos, the heaviest back on Institute's line- up was sent in and furnished interfer- ‘ence for the next touchdown by Boyd. Institute made many substitutions and scored another touchdown soon after the beginning of the fourth per- od of play. McConnell added this six, with Robinson missing the try after touchdown.

Virginia Seminary Defeats St. Paul Lawrenceville, Va., Oct. 31—Virgin- ia Seminary overwhelmed the St. Paul eleven before an enthusiastic crowd on Russell Field today, 20 to 3. An inadequate air defense and poor of- fensive judgment contributed largely to the downfall of the “wonder team.” Three times the Seminary cleats engraved their imprint on the terri- tory 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-yard line. 5 ‘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 Semi- nary’s T-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 retali- ated 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 a- round 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 quar- ter. A 30-yard pass, Smith to Baker, placed the ball on Seminary’s 5-yard line. Scriber 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, Browr added another point from a place- ment kick. Another pass, Whedbec to Brown, placed the ball on St. Paul’ guard for the third and final touch- down. Brown's placement kick after this touchdown went wild. Hudson's punting and all-rounc playing was ‘unexcelled. Baker's Byrd's, and Pierce's running back o' punts ‘and their defensive and offen sive playing was scintillating.

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 officia- ting in football or basketball?” de- serves 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 ar- resting 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 ignor- ance, 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 train- ing 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 oc- cur 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 ate men who have felt the thrill of bis for defeat. hence an official’« 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, short- ly after his massacre by Wills, John- son, 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 ears had run over im, 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 al- though 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 cir- cumstances. Was Floyd disappointed in what he received from Wills? Didn't he “get his” quick enough? Johnson scarcely 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 com- bat teams, A and B, forgetful of all influences’ and automatically and in- stinetively making their rulings. Whereas a few years ago there were only about a half dozen good officials, now there are cropping up in the va- rious 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 nalioges and high schools for our group. competition and still yearn to be a part of the game, They are as’ of- ficials 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 for- mation of groups for improvement, ‘This may be done by wisely restrict- ing 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 out- played 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.

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.

Akbar Temple 41 which numbers a lot of Wilberforce Grads among its Nobles is assisting to put over the Thanksgiving "Prom." All the Nobility in the state have been invited Vice-President W. C. T. 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. The foregoing is ordered by the Central Vice-President and approved by the National office. So, go to Columbus P. P. P. P. P. P. and P. P. or you will be reported on and have to P. P. 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. Frank Clay is playing cornet with the Washington orchestra. Hattie V. Snow is doing the feature stuff in the floor show at the Hollywood cafe, 528 Indiana Avenue. Late October events were the Independent Social Club affair at the Elks Club by Mrs. Mary Sansbury; and the band concert by the Rising Sun Council, 300 A. U. K. fo D. of A. thee. Thou shalt not belittle the intelligence of the public, ye, tho it smile not at thy funnaking. For, verily, there may be within thee an ancient joke. Thou shalt slay it before it becometh a thorn in thy side. Thou must give unto the world a new-born gag. Thou shalt not underestimate thy own valuation. Nay, but then, few do. Thou shalt not be a spendthrift while thou workest, for thy summers are long and warm. —New York Telegram. The foregoing sounds so sensible, and contains so many lessons that our group needs that it has been reprinted with the hope that some among us may profit therefrom.—The Editor. 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. Phil and Clarice worked the first half at the Lincoln. This is one of the best dancing acts seen in this part of the country for sometime.

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.
