QUESTION OF SEGREGATION IS PUT SQUARELY UP TO COOLIDGE CARTER G. WOODSON REFUSES TO BE SPEAKER WITH PRES. DURKEE OF HOWARD FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION QUES PUT S CARTER G. WOODS TO BE SPEAKER DURKEE OF Declaring that he would not disgrace himself by appearing on the platform with any man who has insulted and exploited the Negro Race as has J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and a former Howard University dean, has declined to speak at the annual meeting of the Maryland State Teachers' Association, which will be held in Baltimore, November 27 and 28. This action of Dr. Woodson was taken when he learned that Dr. Durkee was on the program to speak at the same hour with him. He had been invited to speak Friday, November 27, at the Douglass High School, by L. S. James, president of the Association. Upon receiving a printed copy of the program, he wrote Mr. James as follows: "I have just read your program for the Teachers Association in Baltimore, November 27 and 28. I see that there will appear on your program also at the same hour, President J. S. Durkee of Howard University. I regret to inform you that under these circumstances I shall not serve. I would not disgrace myself by appearing on the platform with any man who has insulted and exploited the Negro Race to the extent that Durkee has." Whites Protest Accommodations at Hampton Whites Protest Accommodations at Hampton Hampton, Va., Nov. 10, (A.P.)- The University of North Carolina Glee Club gave a recital at Ogden Hall of Hampton Normal & Industrial Institute last night over the protest of the local chapter of the Anglo Saxon Club, which objected to the invitation extended to white people to attend the meeting, provided they took seats among the Negro members of the audience.

Important Event Over five hundred women students, faculty and alumnae gathered in the dining hall of Howard University on Friday evening, November 6th, for the fourth annual women's dinner. The custom of having the annual women's dinner was inaugurated four years ago by Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women, and this has come to be an important woman's function on the campus. Women students, marced into the dining hall singing college songs and giving cheers for Howard. The women faculty and alumnae at places of honor in the dining hall, applauded the marching students as they entered. The program gave each class an opportunity to show its wares.

The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY STION SQUARE ODSON REFUSES ER WITH PRES. OF HOWARD © By A. N. P. Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson PROMINENT MEN DENOUNCE H. U. ADMINISTRATION The present Howard University administration, including J. Stanley Durkee, president; Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, and Emory B. Smith, so-called alumni secretary, were assailed at a mass meeting held under the auspices of the Howard Welfare League at the New Bethel Baptist Church, Ninth and S Streets, Northwest, last Monday night. The principal speaker was the Rev. Frazer B. Miller, of Brooklyn, N.Y., president of the general alumni association. He stated that formal charges against Dr. Durkee had been filed with Charles R. Brown, president of the Board of Trustees. The nature of these charges could not be divulged, he said, on account of an agreement with Dr. Brown that no publication would be given to them until the trustee board had investigated them. He declared that Dr. Brown had positively stated that these charges would be investigated by the trustee board and that the accusers of Dr. Durkee would be given a hearing. Thomas Walker, a former member of the board of trustees, scored severely the dismissal of Professors Alaine L. Locke, Alonzo H. Brown, Metz T. P. Lochard and Orlando C. Thornton and their replacement by men whom he characterized as inferior. He said that at the meeting of the board of trustees on June 2, 1925, when the report of Dr. R. J. Leonard of Columbia University covering his survey of the academic departments of Howard University, was read, there was not a word said concerning the dismissals of any of these men. Later when he learned of the actions of the executive committee dismissing these men, he said, he astounded. Mr. Walker declared that Dr. Durkee but of self respect ought to resign and that he proposes to fight until Dr. Durkee either resigns or is forced out of the presidency of Howard University. Arthur W. Mitchell, president of the Howard Welfare League, arranged Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university. He declared him unqualified to be the secretary-treasurer of a university. He cited the attack of Senator Pat Harrison on him in connection with the Liberian loan scandal and associated him as an official of various business concerns, which, he said, are now liquidated, defunct or in the courts. Mrs. Alma J. Scott, an alumnae, also spoke criticising the promotion of Sergeant Dorey Rhodes over the glee club and charging that it was an instance of browbeating students and professors. Performer Indicted for Assault Carter Lockhart who was arrested some time ago for having assaulted his wife while on an auto ride through the city was indicted for attempted murder by the Grand Jury this week. Mrs. Lockhart has recovered with the loss of an eye, and has resumed work. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 On Trial for Protecting Home DR. OSSIAN S. SWEET AND HIS WIFE MRS. GLADYS SWEET On trial as martyrs in the fight against segregation in Detroit. INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMM. EXAMINER RECOMMENDS THE DISMISSAL OF JIM-CROW CASE ORPHANAGE HEAD JAILED FOR ALLEGED INDECENT ACTIONS White Superintendent Faces Serious Charges New York, N.Y., Nov. 1, (By The Associated Negro Press)—Official investigation which followed the receipt of a letter by the Children's Society written by one of the girl inmates of the Long Island Baptist Orphanage, resulted disastrously for Wilson Johnson, 40, the superintendent of the institution. The letter charged that Johnson had been unduly familiar and was written by the girl to her aunt. The latter turned it over to the authorities. Johnson, under questioning, admitted intimacies with six of the girls and was held in $10,000 bail by Magistrate Liota, in default of which he was forced to remain in jail. The orphanage is a white institution and all the persons involved are white. DR. JAS. T. BLUE ACQUITTED OF CHARGE A jury in criminal court No. 1, last Monday acquitted Dr. James T. Blue, of 1825 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, on a charge of having performed an illegal operation resulting in the death of Helen Houston, 16-year-old school girl. The indictment charged that Dr. Blue performed a criminal operation on the girl on Saturday, March 28. She died at Freedmen's Hospital on April 18. The evidence disclosed that the girl had been treated by some other physician and that when her mother took her to see Dr. Blue she was suffering from intense pains. After an examination, it was testified, Dr. Blue advised the mother to take the girl home and let her rest. The next day the girl returned with her sister and Dr. Blue treated her. Expert testimony was introduced to show that the treatment given by Dr. Blue was proper. Dr. E. J. Gunning, of 1210 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, and Dr. Wm. A. Jack, 2250 Cathedral Avenue, Northwest, were called. Responding to hypothetical questions, both of them stated that the treatment given by Dr. Blue was proper in that case. The Government failed to prove the use of any instruments. Attorneys L. H. Vandoren and A. W. Gray defended Dr. Blue. Reporting that unjust discrimination against colored persons in favor of white persons on the part of railroads in the South and the Pullman Company had not been shown, an attorney-examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commission has recommended dismissal of the complaint. The complaint was filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission on January 5, 1924, by Dr. E. Crosby, of Detroit, Michigan. In it he charged that between April 10, 1922, and November 7, 1924, the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company, the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company, the Atlanta and West Point Railway Company, the Atlanta and West Point Railway Company, the Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad Company, the Southern Railway Company, and the Pullman Company had filed to furnish necessary facilities for the comfort of colored passengers traveling interstate; that they had refused to sell him a pullman ticket on different occasions and that while a passenger on trains of these lines he was subjected to unjust discrimination and undue prejudice in numerous instances in violation of the interstate commerce act. The Interstate Commerce Commission was asked to require these companies to furnish the same facilities and establish the same standard of rule or service for colored persons as for white persons and to award damages in the sum of $120,000. At the hearing of the complaint, Dr. Crosby testified that he was a passenger on a train of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga., October 18, 1923, in a coach provided for the accommodation of colored passengers; that the space provided was one end of this car containing five seats on one side and seven on the other; that only one toilet was provided for both sexes, the key to which was carried by the baggage master and when occasion for its use was required it was necessary to see the porter or baggage master to obtain the key. He also stated that no smoker was provided for colored passengers. He also testified that on Sunday, September 30, 1923, he purchased a ticket of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company at Louisville, KY, for Nashville, Tenn., and attempted to get accommodations on a train that was due to leave at 11:05 a.m., that the space in the car provided for colored passengers was inadequate. It was a steel car with nine seats. Two thirds of the car was set aside for colored passengers and the balance was partitioned off as a smoker for white passengers. There was but one toilet provided for both sexes. Dr. Crosby stated that he was unable to get a seat in this car on account of the crowd. Standing room in the aisle, he said, was not available. Dr. Crosby testified that he attempted to get accommodations on an afternoon train. The car provided for colored passengers was larger than that provided on the morning train. He testified to his inability to get a seat in the car on account of (Continued on page 2) GATION COOL discrimination in and Government red by Prof. J. Rank Discrimination in Civil Service and Government Depts. Scored by Prof. J. R. Hawkins The conference culminated in the whole delegation calling on President Calvin Coolidge at the White House at noon Thursday. The spokesman on this occasion was Prof. Henry R. Hawkins, President of the Prudential Bank of this city. Prof. Hawkins in his speech to the President, called his attention to segregation in various departments of the Government and also the flagrant violation of the Inter-State Commerce laws of various railroads hauling jim-crow cars for Negro interstate passengers. Prof. Hawkins also called the President's attention to the disgraceful condition in which eligible Civil Service appointees have been denied positions after they have been certified and told to report to duty. The first session was called to order at the Mu-So-Lit Club Wednesday afternoon. After several brief speeches, several committees were appointed and ordered to report at the banquet which was held Wednesday night at the New Liberty Hotel. About 40 guests were present. After an elaborate dinner served under the personal direction of Mr. Joseph I. Greenlease, proprietor of the New Liberty Hotel, the various reports were received. With one exception, all of the reports were received as made. An attempt was made to organize the men present into a permanent body but little enthusiasm was shown for this, although such a resolution was passed. After the visit to the White House, the delegates went to the New Liberty Hotel for a farewell meeting. ANSWERS WIFE'S DIVORCE SUIT WITH CROSS BILL In his answer to the bill of complaint of his wife for a limited divorce, Jerome B. Osborne, of 766 Fairmont Street, Northwest, denied her charges of cruelty and neglect and filed a cross-bill for an absolute divorce, naming Benjamin B. Pinn, a real estate dealer, of 712 Kenyon Street, Northwest, as co-respondent. In his cross-bill, Mr. Osborne claims that his wife, Ruth A. Osborne, of 1902 Tenth Street, Northwest, became acquainted with the co-respondent in 1923; that later on, the co-respondent employed her to assist him in collecting rents and selling real estate and that this business acquaintance soon ripened into a close personal acquaintance. He says that during the years 1924 and 1925 up until September 1 last, the co-respondent was in the habit of making almost daily calls of a social and business nature at his home. He charges his wife with having committed adultery all during the year of 1924 and a greater part of 1925. He denies that he ever was inconsiderate, hostile or contemptuous toward his wife prior to her entrance into the private hospital of Dr. S. L. Carson for an operation. He says that he made the arrangements for her to enter the hospital and be operated upon, "said operation being necessitated from the ravages of a social disease," about which he did not learn until the night before her operation. He says that on August 5 last his wife went to Atlantic City, NJ., returning on August 14; that on the night of August 16, last, he took a trip to Atlantic City returning on August 27, when he found his wife in bed suffering intense pains. He claims that she concealed the true nature of Nearly fifty prominent business, professional and political men from various parts of the country gathered in Washington Wednesday and Thursday to discuss various issues and problems effecting the welfare of the race in general. The conference was called by one, Melvin J. Chisum, who termed it as his private party. On whose authority or expense the gathering was brought here, besides Mr. Chisum, could not be learned. (Continued on page 5) The ceremonies at the White House were very brief, Prof. Hawkins was the only speaker, other than the President who made a response. In part Prof. Hawkins said: "For a proper administration of the laws of this land we look to the executive branch of the Government of which you are the honored head, and so we come today to call your attention to what we feel to be a violation of the principles of just government and unfair discrimination against us as Negroes in the administration of law and the application of the rules and regulations enforced in the management and directions of the affairs of State. "This is particularly evidenced in the discriminations which we are made to suffer by reason of a fair application of the laws with reference to accommodations given Negroes by those operating as public carriers under the privilege of franchises granted by the several states and sanctioned by the Federal Government. For it is a known fact that there is not a railroad operating in those states where there are statutes for separate but equal accommodations for white and colored passengers, that lives up, to the law, and they go in in flagrant violation of the laws and make the Negroes the innocent victims and sufferers of this vinictive prejudice. "It is the more in evidence in the unfair and unjust discrimination enforced against Negroes in the various branches of our Federal Government in that under the Civil Service regulations several of our people, the Negroes, have taken the examinations, passed the same, been certified for the eligible list, notified to report for duty and on appearing and if being ascertained that he or she belonged to the colored Race, was turned ODO FELLOWS IN NEW HOME New Orleans, La., Nov. 1 (By The Associated Negro Press)—The Grand Lodge United Order of Odd Fellows is now occupying its recently completed $100,000 fivestory home in Baton Rouge. Besides offices of the order, the structure has a motion picture theater, lodge rooms, roof garden, and auditorium. The lower floor houses stores. The national convention of the order will be held in Baltimore next September. At a recent meeting of the Louisiana Grand Lodge, plans were suggested to bid for the next convention to be held in New Orleans. MANY PROMINENT NEWSPAPER MEN VISIT CAPITAL Many Are Tribune Callers The Confrence of Republican leaders held on Armistice Day drew a large number of newspaper men to the city and a large number of the group were callers at the Trib office. In fact, not a few of the fellows of the Fourth Estate made this their professional headquarters while in town. The result of the gathering of men who have battled their way into prominence with the journalistic mouthpieces of the Race was a series of informal discussions on problems that confront Negro journalism that was more enlightening to all of the men than have been many more conventional sessions. Purely business problems, mechanical, difficulties, circulation ideas, etc., were candidly talked of as chance afforded, as one will discuss his business with those who have like troubles. P. B. Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, Claude A. Barnett of the Associated Negro Press, Chicago; J. E. Mitchell of the St. Louis Argus, Benjamin Davis of the Atlanta Independent, Henry Allen Boyd of the Nashville Globe, C. G. Franklin of the Kansas City Call, Robert Nelson of the Wilmington Advocate, Joseph Bibb of the Chicago Whip, and Wm. Jones of the Baltimore Afro-American staff, were among the pen-pushing folks in town. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS ON IS LIDGE in Civil ment Depts. J. R. Hawkins "This is further evidenced that in several of the Government Departments, there are rules and regulations enforced against us which tend to segregate our people and subject them to inconveniences and indignities purely because of their racial identity. These conditions, we believe, Mr. President, can be, and should be, remedied by you, and we make bold to assert that if you, in keeping with your high ideals, as expressed in your many able and profound documents issued and pronounced from time to time, will rise to the height of the occasion and issue an executive order, abolishing discrimination and segregation in the departments of our Federal Government it will be hailed as the strongest and the most potential act of any President since that of immortal Lincoln, which wiped out slavery. And we appeal to you to thus act and immortalize your name." The conferences included: Bishop A. J. Carey, Dr. C. M. Tanner, Melvin W. Chisum, the Rev. B. U. Taylor, Claude A.

Nov. 6—The supreme court of Texas granted a writ of error on Oct. 29 in the case of the white Shriners against the Texas organization Ancient Arabic Egyptian Order Mystic Shrine composed of Race members on the petition of the latter. This case was originally tried in Houston in the district court of Harris county, February 22, 1924, and later taken on an appeal to the civil court of appeals at Galveston. This court decided against Race Shriners in an opinion handed down April 2, last. Local white Shriners filed a bill for injunction to prohibit them from using the name, wearing emblems and regalia and from holding meetings, with intent to put the order out of existence. Both national bodies became parties to the suit and it became a contest between these two bodies which will eventually settle the controversy. Cases between the two bodies have been settled in Arkansas, where our Shriners won: in Florida where an injunction was denied the white Shriners, and in Louisiana, where the case rests without any action being taken by either party. Jaes E. White and S. A. T. Watkins of Chicago, Ill., represent the national organization and Wilford H. Smith of Houston represents the local body. Caesar R. Blak, Jr., of Charletta, N.C. is the Imperial Potentate of our Shriners; its Imperial treasurer is Charles Freeman of Washington, D.C.

PARIS SKIRTS LONGER WITH COLDER WEATHER Paris, November 7- While the New York flapper defies the Autumn frosts in rolled stockings and skirts that fail to cover the knees, the smart Parisi enne is letting down their skirts centimeter by centimeter, as the winds become more chilly. Skirt hems do not yet cover calves on the boulevards, but the models in the smart dressmaking establishments that set woman's fashions for the world now display slightly longer skirts than they did in August. The "little season" models, which means those on display now, are forecasts of what may be expected in the mode of next summer. Swarms of New York buyers are in Paris choosing clothes for the winter trade trade in America, and nearly all the models they are buying have longer skirts than those now being worn in the United States. The well dressed Parisienne today wears her skirts from four to six inches below the knee, depending on her height. When she is seated there is a sort of drapery of skirt over the knees and when she walks the pleats and godets make their knees a mere surmise. Coffee --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Is Marriage a Failure? Marriage. Ah marriage, A wonderful institution; But when the God of love departs, 'tis legal prostitution; Pause then upon the threshold, ere entering it's domain. Lest you repent your error and would be free again. Is marriage a failure? No indeed, dear folks. Marriage as an institution is not a failure, but in order that it may be as God intended, a success, the parties concerned must be in harmony, and in order that this condition exist, there must be perfect understanding. Many, many marriages have been failures because the factors confined their selection to external charms, social prominence, or from the view point of finance rather than to disposition and sex appeal. If we are to discuss this matter sensibly, we must lay aside all mock modesty and state facts; therefore, I would say sex appeal is the immediate keynote of marriage success. I hear someone say, "Is that how a man looks upon a woman?" No and yes. This is the only requisite, a lack of which bars her from being a real wife; she may possess many charms, but if she lacks a responsive nature she cannot hope to hold her husband's love, her marriage cannot, will not be a success. A man expects his wife to be responsive; to awaken in him that something which men do not arouse; he expects to know that she is of the female sex by something other than her attire; her touch must thrill; if she fails her husband grows cold and indifferent and seeks to find enjoyment elsewhere. The same thing applies to men, many of them not being fit to offer their hand in marriage with the hope of success because they have lived such lives that they have nothing to offer but a wreck of manhood to a perfectly vigorous, healthy woman. It requires an unusual amount of grit to endure him and maintain her self-respect even if she tolerates him, there is an estrangement which forces her to view her marriage a failure. There are many other causes for marital differences, such as vicious habits, excessive drink, incompatibility of temperaments, but, dear reader, these are minor faults that can readily be overlooked, if there is responsive love, by which I mean sex appeal. Mothers should not crush nature in their children, but rather encourage it; freely discuss causes for its existence; its benefits and dangers which can and may arise from its abuse. Daughters should be safeguarded and physically cared for and advised early in life; taught that her beauty of face and form may attract but in order to hold the love of the opposite sex, she must encourage and protect a responsive nature. The woman who embraces her husband because he permits her to wear his name, provide shelter and food and clothing is no better than the woman who barters her body for coin. They are ignorant of responsive love, because there is a lack of mutual satisfaction. Verily these marriages are failures, for only where there is mutual satisfaction, can there ever be real love, which is the foundation of successful marriage. Is marriage a failure? No. Are men and women failures? Yes, often ANNIE LAWRENCE LUCAS Matrimonial Don'ts DONT'S FOR HUSBAND; DONT'S FOR WIFE; DONT'S FOR BOTH FOR THE HUSBAND Don't be a grouch and a bear around the house. Don't compel your wife to feel dependent upon your generosity in matters. Don't shirk your responsibility in the training of the children. Don't forget to show your wife the same courtesy that was given in courting days. Don't let other engagements take all your time away from your wife. Don't let the newspaper be her rival when you are at home. Don't forget the goodbye kiss. FOR THE WIFE Don't forget that a man has some rights in the house. Don't become indifferent in the matter of dress. Don't indulge in unusual expenditures without consulting your husband. Don't forget to practice economy in buying for the household. Don't allow yourself to become a mager or a scold. Don't forget to that your husband likes to know that his wife is a good cook. Don't be unduly suspicious of your husband's movements. Don't forget that a smile is your greatest charm. FOR BOTH Don't forget your solemn marriage vows. Don't expect perfection in the other. Don't forget that patience and forbearance are two splendid virtues to cultivate. Don't forget that religion and its influence are all-important in creating the right home atmosphere. From the Melting Pot Mothers, read this and pass it around That delightful old hymn, "Where is my wandering boy tonight?" can now be a answered. It gives us great pleasure to say that the "The wandering boy tonight" can be found with "The wandering girl." The pair of them can generally be found jazzing around on dark streets, at the house or some smooth and agreeable friend, out in some calm sequestered spot in a park, or else in an auto participating in petting party pleasures. Years ago, "The Wandering Boy" was out with a few other boys talking about girls and what he would do when he became a man. If he were a real, real bad wandering boy, he'd be trying to learn to chew tobacco or smoke a cigar. But, alas, that stuff is too slow now for all boys over seven years of age. Even our girls are well-up-to- date. They are sweethearts at eight; flappers at ten; cigarette smokers at fifteen; and old women at 20. Not many babies now days. Fortunately, God still lives. In due time that fact will be heavily impressed upon those who are too busy attending to other affairs to give their children the instruction and care they so badly need. In neglecting the boys and girls in our care, we are sowing the seeds of destruction. By Vee Tee Tee Dear Vee Tee Tee: I am a young married woman and I love my husband dearly. He is very nice to me and provides a nice home for me and our baby girl. But, dear Vee Tee Tee, I am insanely jealous of him and make myself miserable with doubts and fears. Won't you advise me? Your advice to others has been so helpful to me. GREEN EYES You dear silly thing, you are doing the very thing to drive your husband from you and make him rue the day he ever met you. Of all the unreasonable, unreasoning, useless and nonsensical passions that the human heart is heir to is that of jealousy. Do you know that jealousy is a confession of inferiority on your part? Your husband must have loved you and desired you above all women to have married you. Be sensible and broad enough to trust your husband. Be so sweet and attractive and so necessary to his happiness that there will be no room for him to contrast you with other women to your discredit. Trust your husband and be happy.

In the "City of Fashions" fair Parisiennes who like to keep a jump or two ahead of Fashion herself have in desperation reversed the necklaces they wear with their evening frocks and now wear them down the back. "Backseratchers" already have caught on, but jewelers who look ahead are already making up ropes of pearls and strings of beads long enough to be worn both ways at once for the 1926 trade.

Phone, Main 2332 THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature In the past, bois de rose was more confined to its tint, and resembled closely the old-time ashes of roses. There is so much to the color problem in women's dress, that the subject is never exhausted. All I can do is touch upon one phase or so of it every now and then, and continually harp upon good color schemes that the well-dressed women indulge in. We seem to be getting gray once more. It's a general process, and for some time to come there will be only occasional streaks of this tone among our everlasting beiges; nevertheless, it is worth recording that not for many a moon have we seen so many gray coats, frocks and suits as during the present season. Madona blue, cathedral and chateuse are good colors and are being sponsored by leading shops. Black, gray, red and green shades are well regarded as the leading colors for winter. The pansy shades and dahlia colorings in general are counted on to retain their popularity at least for the remainder of the season. A conspicuous feature of immediate showings is the neglect of brown. Little confidence is placed in this color for the fall season and it is very sparingly represented in the winter collections. Muscade, a color exploited by Calott, is taken directly from the jucious grape of that name. It is a warm yellow tint, as lovely as it is trying to all but rosy blonds. Now, a word about the bois de rose color. It was worn extensively during the past summer, and is going to be worn even more enthusiastically this winter.

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

Whatever its prejudice, whether it be profound or shallow of tint—we find it ensconced among the favorite hues for the brunette type. With the moss greens and the violets and the reds of claret and garnet persuasion, it ranks among the season's favorites. Another evidence of the demand for color is in the accessories as well as in the costume itself. The importance of bright color cannot be over estimated in relation to fall gloves. Colored doeskin slip-ons in such shades as bottle green, tangerine and royal blue, are dyed by a specially patented process and are guaranteed to withstand repeated washings. The vogue this season is to have gloves for informal wear wrinkle liberally and those for formal wear wrinkle slightly. Sizes one-fourth larger than usual will accomplish this effect nicely. Judging from what they are wearing at smart night clubs, mute hosiery is still in the lead. Colored stockings to match the costume are not being worn to any degree as yet, although retail stores seem to have considerable confidence in them. "What shall I wear to the Howard-Lincoln game?" is the cry that has come to me in my mail today. The questions have arrived too late for a response in this issue. I shall be pleased to dwell on them in the next issue. germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair. re 2 ey ie i: 7 H iB) . 1) . i DP Oh Sp : £x(7AILDBENS 5 PAGE =: TIME EXPIRES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20 Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words, each word containing double letters, written with pencil.

I am now going to read Tom Brown’s School Days, Hans Brinker, The Hoosier School Boy, and Adventures of a Brownie. I like the page more and more each week.

JOHNSON THE JOKE BOX Dear Editor: Here are two good jokes to go into our “Joke Box.” I hope: yow will not throw them into the waste basket. Careful A big American Indian asked a farmer to give him work. “But you Indians always get tired,” said the farmer. “I never get tired: I’m not like the rest,” was the answer. ‘So the farmer set him to work. On coming around later to see how he ‘was progressing, he found the Indian asleep under a tree. “Hi, you!” he said. “I thought you never got tired. Wake up!” “I don’t ever get tired,’ said the In- dian yawning, “but I should if I didn't rest a good deal.” A Problem A man who had obtained work in a railway yard was told to mark some trucks. “Here's a bit of chalk,” said the foreman. “Mark each of ‘em eleven,’ A little later the foreman came a- round again. There was a large “1’ on the first truck. Nothing else had been done. “What does this mean?” asked the foreman. “Only one truck done—and ‘I said eleven, not one.” “I know,” said the man, “but 1 couldn't think which side of that ‘1 the other ‘1’ goes.” | I intend to send you a story very soon, one that I wrote myself. I have ‘enjoyed the jokes that have appeared ‘on the page. Good-bye, with smiles, PEARL V, DAVIS (14). THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS Dear Editor: ‘This is the Fall of the year and the leaves and flowers are dying. So I am writing you a gem and it is called “The Death of the Flowers,” The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year, Of wailing winds and naked woods, And meadows brown and sear, Heaped in the hollows of the grove, ‘The Autumn leaves lie dead; They rustle to the eddying gust, And to the rabbit’s tread. The robin and the wren are flown, ‘And from the shrubs the jay, And from the wood-top calls the crow Through all the gloomy day. I hope that the children will enjoy this poem, “The Death of the Flow. ers.” ‘M. J. BLAND. Fry the bacon first, and lay it in pie pan with another pan turned over the top, but keep it near the fire so it will stay hot. While the bacon is be- ing fried, other members of the party should be washing and cutting the ap- ples into thin slices. Leave the skins on. Drop the prepared apples into the hot bacon grease and fry till all are cooked. You can tell when they are done, for they will be transparent looking instead of white. Stir often with a pancake turner or spatula, tak- ing care not to mash the slices. Just before they are ready to serve, lay the slices of bacon in between butter- ed slices of bread or buns and serve a spoonful of the hot apples to each guest on paper or tin plates. With bacon no salt is needed on the apples. Some like a little sugar sprinkld on them, and some do not. For this reason it is niee to have two frying pans instead of one. If those who like sugar will sprinkle a little on the apples as soon as served, they will taste almost as well.

Hopkins Bread Pudding Dear little Clara, I am very glad indeed you and your mother enjoyed making eup cake last week. Since you requested bread pudding E am sending an old tried recipe, it is as follows: One pint very stale bread; 1 quart of milk; 3 eggs; 1 tablespoonful but- ter; three-fourths cup of sugar; flavor with nutmeg or vanilla. Cut bread, which has been buttered, into small cubes and soak in milk which has been scalded (not boiled) one-half hour. Separate yolks from whites of eggs, beat yolks until lieht; add sugar and flavor, pour in mill and bread and bake in oven about thirty minutes. Remove from oven and allow to coo! slightly. Add a layer of some fruit jelly and the whites of eggs beaten to fa stiff froth together with about two teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, add another layer of jelly and another lay- er of meringue. Place in oven for a few minutes to brown slightly; serve cold. ‘Ong may, if she prefers, leave off the jelly and meringue and add whole ‘eggs with one cup of seeded raisins. 1 hope that you will enjoy this pud- ae PAGE ELEVEN : SUBSCRIPTION BLANK : THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE : : 920 U Street, N.W.

CARS FOR EVERY OCCASION Hail a Red Cab Anywhere No Charges for Extra Passengers PAGE TWELVE Pullman Porter Continues t Public Both Sides Active With Publicity Company Organization Placing Paid Advertising Agitation Takes Aspect of Political Fight Prepared Letters of Questionable Origin a Feature The Story as Told From Both Sides The public concern as to the outcome of the attempt to organize the Pullman Porters transcends the interest that one usually finds upon political matters at this time of the year. Important Race organizations with no direct connection with the Porters have exhibited unusual interest in the matter as one that will be far reaching in its results to the whole economic and social fabric of the Race. Notwithstanding the fact that the Tribune has felt the hand of reprisal for its editorial support of the Porters right to organize, its editors have maintained the right of the readers to be informed as to what is transpiring in connection with the progress of the move. Just last week a porter brought into the Tribune office a mimeographed copy of what purported to be a letter from a porter, J. E. King, of the Washington district. A paragraph of this mimeographed read: "I know nothing of anyone stopping the sale of your paper at the newstand here, but if you had anything in your paper advocating disloyalty among the porters the company had a perfect right to bar your paper." The Tribune has never received the original of any such letter, and the mimeographed release to the porters is therefore an imposition upon them; and a cheap political type of trick. The alleged letter is being handed out by the "sign-out" man in every Pullman district. The company has a very full right to prevent organization and the P. P. B. A. is quite within its rights in trying to prevent any other organization succeeding to its place. In recognition of that right, the Tribune has accepted the paid advertising in which they state their case. However, this sale of advertising space did not convey with it the Editorial view of the paper. It does however cause one to wonder where the money for these half page ads. originates. If the treasury of the P. P. B. A. can stand OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS' AND DAUGHTERS' SUCCESS SCHLOCK TRUFF such costs, then a lot of porters' money has been impounded in its strong box; and if the company, is paying the question arises as to "Why?" Be that as it may, the latest releases from both headquarters is herewith submitted impartially. Let the reader judge. THE BROTHERHOOD REPORTS ITS PROGRESS Randolph and Totten in the West Washington District Fast Becoming Union A confidential representative of the Union was a caller at the Tribune offices last week, and while here conveyed unmistakable proof that the district is just about fully organized, though for reasons best known to themselves, the boys will continue for a time to keep quiet about the developments pending results of organization work in other centers. A report from Atlanta indicates that fine progress is being made there with local welfare interest taking a hand. The organization campaign tour of Editor A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood Sleeping Car Porters, is meeting with a signal success. Pullman porters are responding enthusiastically everywhere. In Chicago the movement has gone over the top with flying colors. There the sentiment for organization is running so high that one gets little comfort who preaches the doctrine of letting well enough alone. A strong organizing committee has been set up in Chicago, and it is working with might and main to get a hundred per cent of the men in the organization. The opposition headed by Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the United States Department of Justice, and recent appointee of the legal staff for the Pullman Company, was routed in a debate before a record-breaking audience in Chicago, Sunday, October 25, by A. Philip Randolph, general organizer. It is significant that despite the fact that the Negro press in Chicago was practically bought up by the Pullman Company, it exerted little influence on the men by way of preventing them from joining the movement. The white press of Chicago neither opposed or supported the movement. As an instance of the extensive influence of the Pullman Company in Chicago, it is interesting to note that at all of the meetings, sergeants and lieutenants of the police department together with a dozen of more detectives, covered the meetings nightly. Labor men tell us that this was a most unusual procedure for the police to adopt in dealing with meetings, the object of which is the organization of a simple trade union. The propaganda about the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters being connected with the Reds of Soviet Russia, has been completely exploded, as baseless rumors engineered by the enemies of the movement. The scare of the Filippinos taking the jobs of the Pullman porters has also gone a-flying. Since 1921 the association has paid 386 death benefits totaling $330,133.11 to beneficiaries of deceased members; 7,733 sick and accident benefits totaling $194,341.77 have been paid to members, making a total disbursement of $524,474.88 in benefits. The officers of this association are 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. The effort of A. Philip Randolph warn brothers everywhereace to our Chesterfield bitions of 'reds,' who are swown down that which we are so hold. Let it be understood oppose organization of Croad men, as that would our sphere. But we subliance with forces of annot ment to the detriment of it not appropriate, and we must oppose. Should we organ Moscow, we should expect loyal to Moscow, as those Cuba and the Islands a- In St. Louis, the movement has secured the support of the leading white dailies such as, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the St. Louis Star, both giving favorable news reports, with the former writing a favorable editorial on the unionization of the porters. The Negro paper, The Argus, opposed the movement. There is a plentiful supply of Uncle Tom Negroes here in St. Louis, who believe in the divine right of the Pullman Company to hold sway over the Pullman porters without question. But the young men are driving them to cover, forcing the Uncle Toms to deny that they are Uncle Toms. All eyes everywhere are turned to the men of the East. The discharge of A. L. Totten has furnished the movement with an effective weapon of propaganda. Upon the return of Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to New York, Mr. Totten has taken up the work and is traveling through the West with Mr. Randolph. From the trend of things the Brotherhood will be able to go before the Railroad Labor Board with fifty-one per cent of the men to argue for a wage increase, improved working hours long before it anticipated. In Chicago, Williams Pickens, field agent of the N.A.A.C.P., Chandler Owen, co-editor of the Messenger Magazine, C. Francis Stratford, president of the Cook County Bar Association and R. L. Mays, president labor leader, spoke at the meetings in favor of the union. BRIEF FOR THE COMPANY Washington, D. C., Nov. 9—In the opinion of older Pullman porters, there is no necessity for further organization of them. They point out there is already in existence an organization of Pullman porters as well as an agreement between the Pullman Company and the porters providing for the settling of any disputes that may arise between them. The Pullman Porters Benefit Association was organized in 1915. It began by the organization of zone as associations. It now has more than 8,000 members. It maintains local lodges in the principal cities. Its object is to promote the welfare, social activities and fraternal spirit of the members. It will hold its next annual session, a delegated convention, in Chicago, November 24 next. SUCCESS MEANS YO CAB READY AND ELIABLE LEGANT AND ASILY CALLED RIVEN WITH DISCRETION APABLE AND OURTEOUS CHAUF FEURS ACCESSIBLE AND CCEPTABLE BEST PRICES FOR BEST SERVICE Part of Our Fleet of Funerals Our Fleet of Shaw Cabs is Your Guarantee of Safety and Comfort Since 1921 the association has paid 386 death benefits totaling $330,133.11 to beneficiaries of deceased members; 7,733 sick and accident benefits totaling $194,341.77 have been paid to members, making a total disbursement of $524,474.88 in benefits. The officers of this association are Perry Parker, Cincinnati; T. M. Blanton, Philadelphia; J. M. Sexton, New Orleans; R. L. Williams, San Francisco; L. F. Smith, Chicago; S. J. Freeman, New York, and T. A. Crenshaw, St. Louis. The effort of A. Philip Randolph and Roy Lancaster to effect a new organization is not looked upon with favor. They can see no good that it might accomplish inasmuch as there is already in existence an agreement for the adjustment of differences involving grievances, rules or working conditions. They look with askance upon Mr. Randolph, who is a socialist, and Mr. Lancaster, a former porter who was discharged for insubordination in connection with charges of drinking while on duty. According to these older men in the service, the employees representation plan, which is in operation, affords them all the benefits that could be derived through any organization. Besides, they say, the present plan is less costly, as the payment of no joining fee or monthly dues is required as is being required for membership in the proposed organization. In fact, these porters are wanting to know why it should require $5 each from 12,000 of them to organize. The employees representation plan is in conformity with the Labor Board Act creating the Railroad Labor Board and providing for the arbitration of disputes. This act charges carriers, which include sleeping car companies, and employees with the duty of settling disputes in conference, and this plan was agreed upon by the Pullman Company and its porters for the sole purpose of adjusting any differences that might arise involving grievances, rules or working conditions. In regard to wages, these porters take the view that the same agency as now, in the event of the failure of the adjustment board to reach a decision, would hear disputes with respect to wages under Randolph's plan. That agency is the Railroad Labor Board, created by an act of Congress. These older men declare that the salary Randolph is telling the porters he will obtain for them if they will join his proposed organization is impossible, for the reason that it would necessitate a substantial readjustment of sleeping car fares. The latest person to issue a warning against the proposed organization is J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World. In a proclamation just issued, he says: "While upholding the right of any body of men to organize for their own welfare, we take this occasion to warn brothers everywhere of the menace to our Chesterfield by organizations of 'reds,' who are sworn to tear down that which we are sworn to uphold. Let it be understood, we do not oppose organization of Colored railroad men, as that we submit beyond our sphere. But we submit that alliance with forces of another government to the detriment of our own is not appropriate, and we must, as Elks, oppose. Should we organize Elks in Moscow, we should expect them to be loyal to Moscow, as those in Mexico, Cuba and the Islands are loyal to their respective governments. Let Colored men organize everywhere for their own evolution. But as for revolution, this administration does not function."

He also testified to his unsuccessful efforts to purchase pullman accommodations and the failure to find the diagram of the pullman car, although the porter advised him that there were five vacant upper berths. Testifying generally as to furnishing pullman accommodations to colored passengers the General Agent of the Pullman Company stated that the Pullman Company makes no distinction in favor of white passengers against colored passengers in furnishing accommodations in the southern states or elsewhere. He stated that colored passengers are furnished accommodations whenever they request them and space is available. The Louisville and Nashville introduced no evidence as to the character of accommodations provided for colored passengers in its trains from Louisville to Nashville as testified to Dr. Crosby. In his report, John McChord, the attorney-examiner for the commission states that "The mere description by complainant in evidence of the accommodations provided in the cars provided for colored passengers by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and the Louisville and Nashville on the occasions when complainant desired to travel as alleged without evidence showing the character of accommodations furnished white passengers in the same trains in comparison, is not sufficient upon which to base a finding of unjust discrimination. "It will not be concluded in the absence of evidence proving the fact that white passengers were provided by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and Louisville and Nashville at the time complained with any different or superior accommodations to those furnished complainant and other colored passengers. "The evidence shows that the Pullman Company generally makes no discrimination in favor of white passengers against colored passengers in furnishing accommodations in its cars. Discrimination is not proven to have been practiced against complainant. "The commission should find that it has no jurisdiction to award punitive or exemplary damages; that unjust discrimination or prejudice against persons of the colored race in favor of persons of the white race has not been established as alleged against either of the defendants; and the commission should dismiss the complaint." Stricken While Visiting Sick Sister Mrs. Mary E. Lowe of 1201 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, was stricken with an acute attack of indigestion at the home of her sister whom she had gone to visit and who was also ill. Friends were called in to help Mrs. Lowe and thought she was beyond medical aid. However, Dr. S. S. Thompson was soon called in and through his efficient services, Mrs. Lowe soon regained consciousness and was able to return to her home a few hours later. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 (Continued from page 1) Hot Bread Mornings and Evenings Barry Farm Citizens Trying to Secure Park Prominent Speakers at Meeting On November 10, the Barry Farm Citizens Association held a most interesting meeting at which District Commissioner Frederick Fennng was the principal speaker. He congratulated the members of the Barry Farm Citizens' Association on the large percentage of residents of the community who own their own homes in a brief address before the association at its meeting, last night, at St. John's Church, Anacostia. Addresses on projects for the improvement of the Southeast section of the District were made by B. J. Taylor, George Stevens, C. G. Hultgren, representing the Congress Heights Association; Dr. George C. Havnenner, members of the Citizens' Advisory Council; Sergt. F. M. Dent of the eleventh police precinct; William H. Lewis of the Garfield Association and John H. Wilson, Mrs. Julia Coston and Jesse Foster. The association adopted a resolution urging the purchase for park purposes of Wilson Grove, at Congress Heights and the old Fort Stanton site, lying between Anacostia, Barry Farm and Garfield. A copy of the resolution was directed sent to Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, member of the National Capital Park Commission. Barry Farm Cullings Before unpacking her trunk since returning home after three years' residence in New Jersey, Mrs. Julia R. Coston held a rummage sale at our popular groceryman's store, Mr. W. P. Tate, 2037 Nicholas Avenue, for the benefit of Campbell A. M. E. Church. That is was a success is evidenced by the fact that Rev. Charles H. Wesley, the pastor received towards the building fund the neat sum of thirty dollars. Through the generosity of Mr. Tate no charges for heat, light or use of a section of his store was made. Rev. J. H. Pace is no longer pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, this suburb. Church officials met on last Wednesday night and declared the position of pastor vacant. We at this writing are unable to secure the reasons, etc. The church is one of the oldest in the District. A neat structure on Nicholas Avenue, opposite the Birney Public School.

Negotiations are pending that will perhaps conclude in his doing over the Roadside Hotel before the Thanks- giving game. Mr. Brown is rapidly becoming the accepted authority upon the interior work for hotels, clubs and similar in- stitutions where unusual novelty and artistry are required. He has some fine examples of his work in New York. Among the places he has done are the famous Cotton Club, Her- man’s Inn and the once well known Dotson’s Chili Parlor.

Underwood lived until his death in a two-room shack at May's Landing, New Jersey. In it he sold candy to the school children who passed his door. Saving his penny profits he invested in real estate, and when he died he left $100,000 to the school board with the injunction to 'spend it so that the school children may enjoy the fruits of my labor.'" "Now the interesting thing is that Mr. Underwood was a colored man. Yet he left his money to white and colored alike, in marked contrast to a certain white millionaire who recently gave a great sum to found orphanages and said that no colored children should be admitted. There are colored people who will feel outraged that Mr. Underwood did not leave all his money to his own people; that is a reaction from the pressure of prejudice to which they are so wrongly subjected. The effect of our treatment of the colored race is to make them eager to advance themselves at the expense of any other group. We prefer the attitude of Mr. Underwood, candy seller to school children. He know whom he wished to help and he gave in complete forgetfulness that the great majority of them had a different color from his own." We might say here that, despite the fact that the foregoing quotation comes from an editor of a white publication, we can not deny that each race fosters a spirit which it claims to detest. Admitting that the white race, because of its years of training, power and rule, holds a commanding position, we are forced to acknowledge that, to the Negro race, prejudice, segregation, discrimination, and the like, have a double meaning—the one, the opposite of the other. When we are shunted to "nigger heaven" in theatres, accorded Jim-crow conditions in public affairs, we denounce such prejudice, segregation and what not. Yet when the President addresses Congress, or the country at large, we judge the morit, the true worth of the speech, by the amount of specific mention made of the Negro. Philanthropy is good in so far as it is specified that Colored Americans may enjoy the fruits thereof. When any public problem is at issue, especial consideration must be made of the Negro, or the project is of little worth. In these, he demands that he be "singled out" by special mention—especially favored over the other many and varied races which compose the great Republic. And though the donation is a means whereby the race may be forced into submissiveness and serfdom, the Negro considers it philanthropic nevertheless and encourages more of it by gulping it down. And the sad part of it all is that the powers that be feel thoroughly convinced that they can appease any wrong done the Negro—placate any disgruntled group—by mere promises and special mention. The Honorable Silent "Cal" told you that he did not believe in segregation, discrimination, Jim crowism, and the like—that these political and economic evils should be suppressed—and you proclaimed him a saviour, yet these evils are permitted to continue in the various departments of the government—yea, to increase with no apparent effort—on his part—put forth to ban them. Let us, then, give race prejudice the same meaning wherever found. Let us cast aside that timidity which makes us expect to be discriminated against. Let us recognize the fact that—as with the Jews—economic power will bring about political and even social equality, and let us flout that inbred sense of inferiority which has done so much in retarding our progress. Let us be convinced that race prejudice, discrimination and the like are not deep rooted; that economic power will remove them. And finally, let us not forget that America is a composite product, made up of members of practically every race on the globe. We should not be beguiled into imagining that we are spreading the kingdom of self-respect, or the brotherhood of man when we denounce race prejudice on the one hand and foster it on the other. This does not mean that we shall cease our militant fight, but we shall change our attack. The spirit of Mr. Underwood is the spirit which each alike, white or black, must become imbued with, if the divine plan of the ages is to be consummated. ESTABLISHING PRESS LIABILITY It has been a hard, uphill fight for Negro newspaper editors to establish reliability in their various publications. Too many have entered the field of journalism for the express purpose of getting rich in the quickest possible way. To do RACE PREIUDICE this, they have resorted too frequently to misrepresentation of facts. In many, many instances such misrepresentation gives a sensational color to the issue at hand. And, for the moment, those newspapers which render such service flourish; but as soon as the public finds that it can rely on a newspaper for sound judgment and impartial, dispassionate news dissemination, readers turn the flow of their support to those institutions which have won by their reliability. A recent release of the Associated Negro Press stating that "Chandler Owen, chief editorial writer of 'The Chicago Bee,' characterized Negro newspaper editors as 'little, ignorant, and contemptible,' and the denial of the editor of the Bee that Mr. Owen spoke as a representative of that paper are the immediate bases of our discussion. In introducing Mr. Owen, the Bee avers that "Mr. Randolph said rather painstakingly; 'Mr. Owen speaks not as a representative of the Chicago Bee cr any other newspaper, but as a representative of the Messenger and his own private position.'" A release such as we have mentioned in the foregoing is of news value coming from a supposedly reliable source, but has no news value when it comes from an unreliable source. A newspaper, especially a Negro journal, can not afford to maintain news-agencies all over the country to supply it with news matter. It is largely dependent upon Negro news services in gathering news. And because of this, these services must be reliable lest the newspaper which supports them lose in prestige and be subjected to suits of libel. It is essential that these services look forward unto the to-morrow which may bring forth a larger newspaper and a bigger magazine; and edit their reports so as to make for this growth. The greatest care should be exercised to see that no misrepresentation of facts be contained in any news matter. Colonel William Mitchell, energetic and capable, and his able, astute counsel have, as we say in common parlance, messed the War Department up in its attempt to court-martial him. Three generals were conspicuously disqualified; other army officials have become so obsessed with the Colonel's wrongs that they have committed wrongs in the "righting"; and the Silent "Cal" experienced no good feeling when confronted with the prospect of appearing before the court as Colonel Mitchell's personal accuser. The familiar and inevitable army stupidity will make a martyr of the Colonel if he is convicted by the court marial; it will make of him a stumping, more aggressive agitator, if dismissed from the army; and the source of much fear, if acquitted. Dr. Hastings H. Hart, chairman of the American Prison Association, has brought to light in his report to the fifty-fifth congress of the association, a condition that we have long suspected. Gathering his data from 893 city and county jails and workhouses in which federal prisoners are kept, he finds conditions so "abominable" that he expects to devote the remainder of his life to seeking a correction of these conditions. Besides the unsanitary, immoral and inhuman conditions of the county jails of which there are a "very large percentage infested with vermin," Dr. Hart finds that, because of the lack of "adequate provision for classification and segregation, . . . county jails of the United States are breeding places and schools of vice, and that there is no more prolific source of crime." In view of the fact that a large number of Colored Americans are directly affected by the marketing of farm produce, it should be of interest to them to know that Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is planning to establish a division of co-operative marketing in the Department of Agriculture. According to Mr. Jardine's plans, the Federal Government will not control nor regulate the markets, but will foster and encourage co-operative marketing in various ways. The new division will supply co-operative leaders with information, methods of organization, methods of financing, data on market conditions and the like. Of course, this affects the big farm owners more directly than it does the little fellows. But the big idea is that these big fellows—already receiving large profits—see the need of further organization to obtain what they consider their just deserts. Why can not our Colored brothers grasp the idea and appreciate the value of organization? This is an age of more and better organization; unicized action and massed thought. WAKE UP, BROTHERS! The Washington Chamber of Commerce has resolved to use its influence to put a ban on the "flying squadron's" practice of pursuing suspected bootleggers through the streets at an excessive rate of speed and using fire-arms promiscuously. The small number of guilty persons captured and convicted through this practice is "not worth jeopardizing the life of an innocent person." If such a ban becomes effective, we shall be relieved of much humiliation and especially danger; for in our section particularly this terror is most rampant. This coal-strike business is being worked continuously to the mine-owners' great profit and to the consumers' ill health. Is the Federal government powerless in preventing this outrage? There is one consolation, however, Negro miners and consumers are not the only ones affected. Fifty Negroes from all over America assembled in Washington in a conference that was of sufficient importance to command a full column of space in a daily paper, and a variable length of copy in all of the city dailies. The group represented the church, educational interests, the press, the legal profession, and business of such large volume as to be regarded as "big business." To those papers, however, it was just another gathering of (little "n") Negroes, for not one of them respected the intelligence, aggregate wealth or importance of the gathering enough to capitalize the word Negro when referring to them. That intentional violation of good English is indicative of the opinion which white America holds concerning any and all Negroes. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 My People and Other Folks BY J. A. JACKSON My People and Other Folks BY J. A. JACKSON The District is just about to be thrown into another of those spasms that once in every so often assail its citizenry. The may Festival is in process of being framed to exhibit to the world the civic virtues of the nation's capital and to rivet on the public mind an assurance of its culture especially with reference to music. Co-incident with this cultural display comes the usual exhibition of prejudice. The city wants the colored singers, and the Star, the daily newspaper that promotes the affair, knows that a very large percentage of the musical ability and distinction to which the District may lay claim is possessed by its NEGRO CITIZENS. In fact, without them any city wide program would be a weak thing indeed. Now the Star and Commissioner Rudolph, along with their "me too" hirelings are very busy devising ways to have the Negro voices and melodies without the physical bodies of those Negroes that would naturally be expected to come along. They want to do this without taking any chance of losing the NEGRO READERS OF THE STAR. Perhaps they will get away with it; but, IF THEY DO, it will be because the handpicked "advisors" have functioned in the traditional manner and with due regard to "bread and butter" rather than with that degree of race conscious principle that has made the JEW a big factor in American life. MY PEOPLE! MY PEOPLE! They read the Tribune in several other cities. That we learn from the number of invitations to functions scattered about the country that come to its Editors, from time to time. At present we have before us an invitation to be the guest of the State Reunion of Colored Ex-Service men at Columbus, Ohio, which we are obliged to forego; another from that town to breakfast with local Deacons Corner No. 9 who propose to provide bacon and eggs to all newspaper men who attend the Thanksgiving game there. On November 12, we should have been in St. Paul at the dance of the Triangle Club of Government Employees, all of which is highly appreciated. To all of them we must state that until the railway companies co-operate to the extent of issuing invitations to ride, we just must send regrets as our welfare workers would say "For economic reasons." Anyhow, thanks folks. Column writing is growing with our folks. The latest entrant in the field is R. Byron Shelton of Indianapolis who conducts a column under the caption of "Ruby Says" in the Recorder. It is an interesting bit of work; and if "Ruby" does what he did in vaudeville when FIDLER and SHELTON were big timers, it will be a big time column. Go to it, Ruby. Here's to a brand new paper, the Columbus Ohio, Weekly News, Volume I, Number 1 of which is as pretty a journal as the mail brings. It is well diversified, well edited and of excellent mechanical make-up. O'Connell Toney, W. C. T. Ayres, Beulah Guss and Harry W. Ferguson acknowledge responsibility, according to the mast head. They have a real newspaper. The Tonic Time club has a rival in Newport News, Va., where W. H. C. Brown mentions with pride that a Sunday Sanhedrin exists that meets at five each Sunday without officers, set program or regulations other than that the session must close at 6:30 p.m. It takes place in the Y. M. C. A. and affords a lot of pleasure to the "members." No record is kept of proceedings, and dues have no place in the transactions. There has been much ado recently about the rough tactics the police officers have been using upon bootleggers. The nice folks insist that the police are entirely too brutal. We wonder if these are not some of the same Pacifists who helped to place the Volstead law upon the book of statutes. Also we wonder if the same tender hearted persons would kick as hard if they saw police beating a poor Negro wanted for a misdemeanor. We believe in diplomacy and compromise. If the bootleger is to be arrested with a degree of "rough stuff" measured in accord with the quality of his goods, Officers, we are with you. It's a shame the way they sell that poisonous stuff to innocent purchasers for real imported goods. The Federal Trade Commission has approved the word 'RAYON' as a trade name for artificial silk. Wish some one would provide us with an authorized name for artificial Race leaders, for they have become so plentiful as to require some sort of handy designation. Many a man boasts of having never been imprisoned; but the boast is a vain one for any person who has ridden in a Washington taxicab. Once in, you can't get out until the Judge, I mean chauffeur—let's you out. It is said that the reason is to prevent jumping bail. No, not bail—the taxi bill. It's the first time I ever heard of a taxicab operator being permitted to violate the constitutional freedom of a citizen; and the writer has ridden in cabs of every kind in about all of the cities in this, and a few other countries. Just why the cab business should have this extra protection not afforded other classes of business is too deep for me, unless the percentage of joy riding crooks are extra high here. But it is for such as those that we maintain a police department and the courts. No need to humiliate respectable citizens, because of a few crooks. One may well doubt if it is legal. THE STUDENT SALES-PERSON (By C. Leslie, Frazier) Washington is full of student salespersons—high school and college boys and girls. A word or two to them would, perhaps, be worth while. This article is based on actual occurrences which have come under the personal observation of the writer. Realizing that thoughtlessness is the basis of the conduct here alluded to, he deems it prudent—and he hopes beneficial to such student clerks as may read this article—to pass on his observations and comment thereupon. The average boy or girl upon entering colleges, assumes an attitude that invites a bit of repulsiveness from those persons who are not so fortunate as to be college bred. However foolish it may appear to you, friend collegian, your youthful confidence in yourself, your seeming nonchalance, may play have with whatever sales ability you may possess. The digger-in-the-ditch and menial toilers, are apt to look askance at you. The attitude of many student salespersons to these wage-earners (who are good spenders) is such as to cause resentment to arise—an attitude of mere tolerance for all who are not college students, professionals, or exceptionally well dressed people. No person who is haughty, or who has a patronizing air (a better term is 'snob') can ever become a successful sales-person. If you go about the task of waiting on the lowly person, whom you consider out of your sphere, in a listless way, or too hurriedly, you incur a feeling within the customer that you feel as though you are condescending to serve him. Especially is this very true if, while the student sales-person is serving such a customer in an indifferent manner, a better dressed or more prosperous looking person enters, the sales-person assumes a benign attitude, rushes through with the sale he has been handling, and shows such impatience at inquiries being made by the actual buyer, as perhaps to lose additional sales, only to turn to the prosperous looking prospect who merely inquires, "Does Mr. Brown live upstairs?" or "Can you accommodate me with a two-cent stamp?" or possibly, "Do you know how long that sale is going to last at such and such a shop down town?" The person to whom the sale was actually made was unceremoniously rushed over like a proverbal step-child is handled by an austere step-parent. The buyer was not only rushed through the sale but he was rushed out of the probability of ever returning to that particular store again. Probably a good spender was lost. Then too, neither can you make the grade by being (while on duty) a mirror gazer, a clock watcher, a chewing-gum puller, a social entertainer, a phone conversationalist, or a front door decoration. Such traits, seemingly trivial, are not inductive to attract stable patronage. Such traits are liabilities—not assets. Do not become intolerant. If it is your appearance that bespeaks intolerance, try to overcome this petty aspect which, if permitted to develop, even unconsciously, may have a tendency to wreck your life's career whatever it may be. The attitude that is taken by the student sales-person, as related in this article is different from discourse. Again, let us concede that perhaps the attitude thus assumed is unintentionally displayed, nevertheless, a great harm is being done to the business which you represent, and also to yourself. Salesmanship embraces courtesy, a square deal to everybody—not merely a square deal in giving value for value received, but in giving to every patron the same attentive service. Hence it behooves the sales-person to realize the value of courtesy and tolerance for those whom thoughtlessness might appear to brand as inferior. Let it be remembered, that whenever the desire to please unstintingly and to serve indiscriminately, has atrophied, there is sure to follow deterioration and failure. Y. W. C. A. News Rev.

Elkins, director, has been announced for November 23rd at Salem M. E. Church and January 9, 1926 at the town hall and April 5, at Salem Church again. The object of this male chorus is self improvement in vocal culture and to encourage the formation of male choruses among our people in order that we may attain a higher standard of choral singing. The object is laudable both from musical and intellectual point of view. We would even go them a point further, i.e., male choruses throughout the country should develop personal contact in some centrally located place annually and conduct prize contest singing and mass choruses which would do more than any other agency to foster such work and elevate the standard not only in New York City but elsewhere throughout the country. There are several male choruses in Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Atlantic City and other places, unknown to the writer. Why not get together, men, and make a national feature of your chorus work? Assisting the Dextra Male Chorus is the Negro String Quartette, Felix Weir, 1st violin; Arthur Boyd, 2nd violin; Hall Johnson, viola; Marion Cumbo, cello; Leon Adger at the piano for the chorus. Members of of the chorus are as follows; first tenors: F. E. Winston, Lionel Russell, George E. Jackson, Leslie Cole, Dr. Sterling C. Rex, F. J. Acco, James Strange; second tenors: William Crampton, Sidney Helms, William Lynch, William Dickerson, McKinley Reeves, Morris Caver, Adolph M. Henderson, George H. Nalls; harbitons: H.

We will present each week an editorial upon some topic of substantial interest, the views of one of the nation's greatest women thinkers and executives. Her opinions will be presented uninfluenced nor edited by the Tribune, and while not of necessity always the views of the paper, will be worthy of serious consideration by those who are students of our progress. possibilities nor genius. Great editors can wake the people up, enlighten them, and make them fight their battles until victory is won. The men who occupy editorial chairs, and can do these things, have been born three times and baptized once. Do not froget that the people are the great factors in making great editors. Their acceptance of the ideals, principles, and standards espoused by their editors, their support of every section of the papers, their sense of CHANDLER OWEN Our friend Chandler Owen paid his respects to Negro editors last week. He characterizes them as "Little, ignorant, contentible and venal." He is ambitious for perfection in journalism; he wants some "sure enough" editors. Our editors will shower Mr. Owen with brick-bat roses. But calling names will not produce editors. Mr. Owen knows what they are, but "he ain't one." He can be IF—and thereby hangs his editorial future. Editors are thrice-born men—they are baptized believers. They are born of the spirit—natural bent for the high calling. Born of the mind—intellectual equipage—broad and technical preparation. Born of the soul—moral stamina which makes them "come clean" on every issue, and puts them above price. Real editors are not only thrice-born men, but they are baptized believers. They are men who have passed through the fires of a great cause. They believe in the righteousness of their cause and the worthiness of their followers. Editors are men whose physical signs of the triple birth are so evident that the people know that they have an advocate who will champion their cause and stand four-square on every question effecting their happiness, prosperity and destiny. Editors are not mudslingers, scavengers and Iscariots. Great editors are not made by schools. They are made by great crises. Just as great battles make great generals, and rough seas and mighty conflicts make great sailors, so men who get out of the class of "little, ignorant, contentible and venal editors," fight the battles of, with and for the people over a period of years, and win signal victories. Great editors are men who ram their souls into their editorials and fire their hearts at their readers. The readers in turn are enlightened, inspired, enlisted. Great editors are known by the of their genius and the dependency of their powers; their style masterful and bold. Superficial brilliancy, single and sensational efforts are not evidences of editorial LOCALS NATIONAL NEWS BOSTON, MASS.—Miss Janie M.

Great editors can wake the people up, enlighten them, and make them fight their battles until victory is won. The men who occupy editorial chairs, and can do these things, have been born three times and baptized once. Do not froget that the people are the great factors in making great editors. Their acceptance of the ideals, principles, and standards espoused by their editors, their support of every section of the papers, their sense of the purpose and value of newspapers, are the essential factors in the making of great editors. The people must read and they must advertise. A group that does not read and does not advertise on a large scale is too "little, ignorant and contemptible" to contribute their part to the making of great champions of their rights, ideals and causes. An editor's mind and soul are fed on practical appreciation, and unstinted support. Editors are made "venal" for lack of support and expressed appreciation. Great editors, like great writers, must have leisure, must receive support sufficiently generous to provide for the larger education through travel, contact and leisure. Our hand to mouth support of Negro papers produces "Little, ignorant, contemptible, vernal editors." If Mr. Owen will use his time in teaching the Negro Race the value of reading and advertising, he will become as great a benefactor as Andrew Carnegie. Another fact: If the Negro Race has no great editors, it is because we are not yet willing to fight, sacrifice and die for our rights and ideals, and thus give our editors the baptism of fire which they must have before they can become great. As long as the Race is too busy having pink tea parties, picnics, excursions, and hot-air meetings, to take up its work of real redemption and carry it forward to a happy consummation, we cannot create the atmosphere in which great editors are born and grow. Wait until the Negro is really oppressed, buffeted about and shut off from the enjoyment of necessities, pleasures and luxuries conceived, produced, developed and sold by white people, and you will witness the dawn of that glorious day in which we will not only produce great editors but a great Race. Until that day comes, Chandler Owen and the whole Negro Race will be put down as "Little, ignorant, contemptible, venal." What Chandler Owen is saying about Negro editors in print, nine tenths of the white world is saying about the whole Negro Race—Chandler Owen included. Come on, Mr. Owen, and let's move "Y" Sport News The initial meeting of the Business and Professional Men's Gymnasium Class was held Monday, November 9, from 12:30 to 1:30 o'clock.

Cook Lodge No. 10, Tender Banquet in Honor of Ford as Its Own Member Liberty Hotel Scene of Fine Dinner Visitation Schedule Altered by Death of Grandmaster's Sister Most Worshipful Grand Master Charles P. Ford and his cabinet of officers of the Most Worshipful Grand rounds of visitations to the subordinate lodges on Monday night, when they visited Eureka Lodge No. 5, after an hiatus caused by the death of the Grand Master's eldest sister in Chicago. This sad news was received last Monday, while the visit was being made to Felix Lodge No. 3, and caused a cancellation of the official visits for the rest of that week, making it necessary to visit Meridan No. 6, Warren No. 8, Social No. 1, and Ionic No. 17 during the first week in December. In Felix Lodge No. 3, Worshipful Master William H. Becker delivered a cordial welcome to the Grand Officers, and Senior Warden Frederick O. Carlton, and Junior Warden Julian Linger, added their words of welcome. Quite a large turn-out of the membership of this lodge greeted the visitors, due to a special notice from the secretary, Chas. C. Carter, and the Grand guests were treated to refreshments after the official duties incident to the visitation had been concluded. Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master James N. Aden presided, after the Grand Master had retired in order to catch a night train for Chicago. Eureka Lodge No. 5 was the next lodge to be visited, and gave the Grand Master and his cabinet quite a warm reception. The address of welcome was delivered by Past Master George M. Ambler, through the courtesy of the Worshipful Master, Laurence B. Curtis, who presided, assisted by Senior Warden Barber and Junior Warden Berkeley. Past Masters Milton, Cohran, Brent, and Brandon, as well as the able secretary, Samuel Watson, spoke in positive terms of the issues facing the Craft, and suggested several remedies for existing conditions. On Tuesday night the visit was made to the Grand Masters own lodge, John F. Cook Lodge No. 10, and the reception tendered, together with the banquet which followed, was a fitting tribute to their own "San" as he was affectionately termed. Worshipful Master Addison W. Chapman had a well prepared speech of welcome, and was also followed by Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe, Senior Warden, and Perry Hall, Junior Warden. The response for the Grand Lodge was made by the Senior Grand Warden, Joseph E. Minor, in a few well chosen words of felicitation and congratulation. The banquet which followed this visitation, and which was held at the New Liberty Hotel, New Jersey Avenue and D Street, Northwest, Joseph Greenlease, proprietor, was one long to be remembered. This elaborate feast was sponsored and prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Stewart-Davis Club of John F. Cook, and was arranged as a tribute of respect and admiration for their own Grand Master. The tables were nicely arranged and beautifully decorated, Answers Wife's Divorce Suit With Cross Bill (Continued from page 1) her affliction from him and he occupied the same bed with her until September 1 last but did not cohabit with her. He declares however, that he himself became affected. Mr. Osborne admits the finding of a letter, in which the writer acknowledged himself responsible for the physical condition of his wife. He denies that his wife did not know who the writer of the letter was. He charges that the letter was delivered to his wife by a daughter of his wife's sister and that his wife attempted to destroy the letter by tearing it into pieces and throwing it into the toilet of their home where it was found by his mother. He admits that he refused "to receive her in his home after having learned of her adulterous acts committed unknown to him at a time prior to her operation." He denies that he ever made any threat to kick her from the top of the steps to the bottom. He also denies that he has prevented her from getting her clothing. He says that he has requested a member of her family to come to his home and remove all of her personal effects. He charges that his wife, acting upon the advice of her sisters and their husbands, attempted to forcibly enter his home and that her brother-in-law and sister tried to break down his front door. He denies that there have been any traces of insanity in his family, although a sister had a nervous breakdown some years ago. He claims that his mother came to live with them at the suggestion and invitation of his wife in order that she might take care of their child' His wife, he says, insisted upon working. The couple were married June 26, 1920, by the Rev. Emory B. Smith. They have one child, Gloria Osborne, 4 years of age, who is in the custody of her father. Mr. Osborne is employed at the War Risk Insurance Bureau at a salary of $120 a month. Mrs. Osborne is employed at the Navy Department at a salary of $110 a month and her husband claims that she also receives $40 a month from the estate of her father who died recently. Mr. Osborne asks the court to grant him an absolute divorce and custody of their child. He is represented by Attorneys Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield. Marian Anderson the Philadelphia contrato who has achieved fame by special appearances with symphonic orchestras in both Philadelphia and New York, appeared under the auspices of the College Alumnae Club at the First Congregational Church in Washington last Tuesday evening to a mixed white and Colored audience. She appeared as a substitute for Charlotte Wallace Murray, whose sudden illness in New York would have distressed a less energetic group than the committee of ladies of the alumnae who were in charge of the affair. Those girls deserve especial commendation for the prompt manner with which they met apparent disaster by enlarging the prospect of patronage with so famed an artist.

LAWYER HUBERT WINS CASE THAT REFLECTS CREDIT UPON HIM For the past week the will of the late, John B. Dillard, has been on trial in Circuit Division, No. 1, Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Justice Hoshling, presiding. John B. Dillard, who died December 9, 1924, had been very active in the religious, civic and business affairs in the northeast section of Washington, and with the co-operation of his wife, had accumulated considerable real and personal property, which he had by his will left to his widow, Emma F. Dillard, and made her the executrix. The contestants were David P. Dillard and Carrie V. Carr, of Norfolk, Va., brother and sister, respectively, of the deceased. The case was very vigorously contested, voluminous documentary evidence and an array of witnesses including expert testimony were presented. The contestants were represented by Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield, of the leading law firms of Washington, D.C., all three being very active during the trial. Elwood G. Hubert and Cornelius H. Fonville, associate counsel, represented the widow. Lawyer Hubert is to be congratulated upon the professional and skillful manner in which he conducted his case, scoring a clean-cut verdict for his client, Emma F. Dillard, on all of the issues raised by the caveators. The Colored Bar Association of the District of Columbia, commend him upon his decisive victory over such a reputable firm of able lawyers.

Va., Nov. 10.—West Virginia Collegiate Institute's football eleven seems headed to the fate of playing scoreless ties on a muddy field. Two weeks ago Institute battled Howard for an hour in the mud and Saturday had a similar experience in its annual clash with Lincoln University. The field was just as bad for one game as the other; the teams in each instance were evenly matched. The monotony of watching the ball see-saw back and forth through the medium of the punter's toe was broken twice. Once when the visitors came within inches of shoving the ball across the line, and again when Institute carried the pigskin up to the Lincoln goal. In each case the forward wall of the defending team held and the ball was punted out of danger, while the spectators relaxed to the uninteresting sight of watching the resumption of the see-saw. The first quarter was given over to exchanges of punts in which Lincoln seemed to have an edge until it was discovered that the booster was being assisted by a strong wind that was blowing over the field from the east goal. On a fumble and a punt out of bounds, Institute worked the oval to Lincoln's 23-yard line at the start of the second quarter, and after trying to pierce the line with little success, a try for a field goal hit the cross-bar. The boot was a tough one to lose for it had been at a slight angle and considering the mud was executed in an exceptionally fine manner. Lincoln punted out of danger, but on an exchange of punts that followed Lincoln gained the ball on Institute's 30-yard line. The biggest gain of the day for the visiting team was then pulled off in a wide end run to the right of the line which netted 21 yards. With the ball on Institute's 8-yard line, the Yellowjackets held and the ball went over on downs. Lincoln again got possession of the ball on Institute's 30-yard marker and at this juncture, Taylor was rushed into the fray by the visiting coach. He proved himself a fairly good ground gainer, ripping off one run for 15 yards and following it up later with two line volleys that netted a first down. Once again in the shadow of its goal posts, Lincoln held but a fumble on an attempt to punt out gave Lincoln the ball on Institute's one-yard line. There were only seconds to play and before the Lincoln team could snap the ball after lining up, the timekeeper's gun barked ending the second period. The third period was a duplicate of the first until Turner, flashy quarterback of the Institute eleven got away for the best run of the day, a 30 yard dash through left tackle, pulling off a neat bit of broken field running, considering the mud in which he was intrenched. Lincoln held when danger threatened and punted out of its own 35-yard line. On an exchange of punts and a fumble by Institute the visitors got the ball on their own 40-yard line. The slippery pill proved hard to hang to and a moment later Lincoln fumbled, Institute getting the ball at mid-field. Institute tried a long pass, which Lee intercepted for Lincoln on his 43-yard line and ran back to his 43-yard mark. Goodman smashed through for a first down on two line plunges, but the punching power was lacking and Lincoln lost the ball on downs. Again the flashy Turner got away, this time for a 20-yard gain placing the pigskin on the visitors 20-yard mark. Another attempted field goal was low, but Lincoln had to play the ball from its own one-yard line. The visitors punted out of danger, and the game again resumed its see-saw ending with the ball in mid-field. Colorful Colorful Crowd Views Howard-Wilberforce Game Howard Defeats Wilberforce 6 to 0 In a stubbornly fought game, the Howard University eleven nosed out Wilberforce last Friday afternoon at the American League Baseball Park by a score of 6 to 0. Howard slightly outplayed the Ohioans, but her victory was a fluke. A forward pass that should have been ruled incomplete put Howard within striking distance of her opponent's goal. McLean tossed the ball to Campbell. It struck him in the chest and bounced into the arms of Brown. The rules provide that "if a forward pass, after having been touched by an eligible player of the passer's side, is touched by another player of that side who was originally 'eligible' (before the ball has been touched by an opponent), the pass shall not be considered as completed." The officials decided the play contrary to the rules. Coach Graves walked up to protest. He was ordered back to the bench. This put the ball on Wil伯力force's 17-yard line. Brown gained 4 yards through off-tackle. Carter skirted left end making it first down with the ball on the 4-yard line. Carter and Brown hit the line in succession but Wil伯力force refused to yield. Smith, substituted for Brown, gained a yard. Then, it was Wil伯力force was outsmarted. On the fourth down, instead of trying the line, a short pass from McLain to Long caught the visitors unawares and gave Howard the lone score of the game. The try for extra point failed. Referee Gibson says it was a free ball, having been touched by a Wil伯力force man attempting to knock the pass down. The big disappointment of the game was "Wu Fang" Ward. He failed to live up to his reputation. Howard ended broke through repeatedly and threw the Wilberforce triple-threat man for heavy losses. He attempted most of his runs from a fake formation taking a position about 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Before he could reach the line, he was tackled. At other times in his endeavors to escape the Howard end or tackles charging down upon him he would run backwards only to be thrown for heavy losses. FIRST QUARTER Howard kicked off. Wilberforce failed to gain and Harding punted to midfield. Campbell kicked on Howard's fourth down to Harding, who ran out of bounds on the 27-yard line. Richie gained 3 yards. Ward 5 yards and Richie made it first down when he gained 3 yards again. Ward was thrown for a 5-yard loss and on the third down Wilberforce punted to Howard's 40-yard line.

Williams went around end for 9 yards. Wilberforce recovered a fumble. Harding gained four yards making it first down. Harding was thrown for a loss of 10 yards. After Richie brought the ball back 5 yards, Wilberforce kicked. Payne the ball get pass him, recovered it and then ran it back 15 yards to Howard's 45-yard line. Howard steadily advanced the ball on Wilberforce's 38-yard line. Ward intercepted a forward pass. After Richie and Ward had been thrown for losses of 4 and 3 yards respectively, Wilberforce punted.

Lautier THE SPORT REVIEW Norfolk, Va., Nov. 10—Hampton turned back Shaw last Saturday afternoon in one of the most stubbornly contested football games seen here by a score of 3 to 0. The first half was a scoreless one although both teams were threatened. Byrd, substituting for Jacobs in quarterback, was piloting his formidable eleven with rare consistency and skill. Hampton was in possession of the pigskin on Shaw's 45-yard line. Scott struck for 4 yards, Thatcher left guard for 6 more and first down on the Bears' 34-yard stripe. Then Thatcher hit 3, yards of right tackle and Byrd followed with 4; Scott drew 2 and Byrd made it another first down when he drove to Shaw's 21-yard line. Scott piled through right guard for 4 yards, and Byrd took all the remaining distance for first and ten save one yard, and Shaw called time. The Hampton stands were in an uproar and pleading for a touchdown. Thatcher netted 3 yards for first down on the 18-yd parallel. The Bear growled and defied the charging Seasiders. William failed the to gain on two plays; another smash by Hampton and the ball was still on the 18-yd line. Baker, the Seasiders dependable and capable kicker, was rushed into the fray, and on the next play he sent the oval between the uprights from a difficult angle.

Nov. 7.—With A. and T. in a 13 to 0 lead, the Tiger would not be denied victory here today, and, by sheer strategy and superior offensiveness, emerged on the long end of a 14 to 13 score. In the final eight minutes of play St. Paul unorked one of the most baffling and variegated aerial and line plunging attacks witnessed in the Old North State in many years, and romped to a glorious and opportune victory over one or the Eastern Conference's best machines. Helpless before a shower of brilliantly timed forward passes, snappy crossbucks and thrilling line plunges completely punctuated a riddling ground assault, the Hammer host twice was pushed back across its own goal line for touchdowns before the mighty paws of a versatile and relentless Tiger. Two points after touchdown, contributed by the unerring toe of Jimmie Hudson ,amassed for the Douglass-Taylor team a final score which completely sealed the doom of the Carolinians. St. Paul tallied her 14 points in the last eight minutes of play. A. and T. did her scoring in the first and third periods. In the closing minutes of the game, the tilt was simply a St. Paul parade. Twenty-three A. and T. Hammers could not thwart the spectacular drive of the enraged Tiger after he had focused his brutal and vicious charge on Byarm's rugged and sterling eleven. The Hammer offensive which embraced the use of the forward pass in the final three minutes of the game was without power and without deception. ALL CLASS vs. Lincoln U.

Sports Editor Shaw Philadelphia Nov. 7.—The Christian Street Y. M. C. A. was the meeting place of the officials of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs. Each of the seven clubs that finished the past season were represented and the following commissioners responded to the roll call: Chairman Ed. Bolden, Jim Keenan, Charlie Spedden, Hammond Canfeld Daniels, C. W. Strothers, Nat. Strong, and Alex Pompez. Charlie Johnson, of the Bacharach Giants Company, was also present. After a retro and prospective review of the baseball situation with the slogan of "bigger and better" for the 1926 season, several important matters were tabled for the next meeting, which incidentally will be the Annual Meeting. The date for this important confab was fixed for Wednesday, December 9th and an invitation had been extended to the Negro National League to hold a joint session of the Colored "Majors," it was decided to continue the conference December 10th and 11th. Newark Stars a brand new combination in the ranks of colored base ball and representing Newark, New Jersey, will be the eighth club in line when the opening gun is fired for the 1926 campaign. Application for franchise for the Newark club was made by Wilbur Crelin, a prominent Newark sportsman who has been identified with semi-professional baseball in that New Jersey city for the past decade. Also there were several reasons that the Newark application was favored among others received to fill the gap made vacant by the demise of the Wilmington Potomacs during the past season. While Crelin will very likely handle the business end of the Newark outfit, it is being backed by none other than Bob Davids, owner of the Newark International League team Davids has personally purchased outright the Reading franchise and will move the club to Newark. A park, centrally located and with a seating capacity of 18,000 is now under the course of construction and will be completed in February. This park will be used by the Newark Stars when the International League Club is on the road. The location is convenient to the remainder of clubs in the league and really forms a more compact circuit for the seaboard loop. While the Newark sponsor was not in position to hand out any dope regarding the personnel of the new combination, he advised that his familiarity of the strength of the clubs in the Eastern Colored League would compel them to put together a club that would be able to compete with the adversaries. Wilberforce Coach Makes Statement Mr. Louis R. Lautier, Washington Tribune, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 8th, I feel that the inclosed rule on the play in question is quite clear. I am not alone in my contention that the pass should have been called incomplete as there were several members of the former teams of Howard who saw the play as I did and expressed themselves that way. However, Wilberforce was the loser and undoubtedly this decision played a big part in the defeat." respectfully yours, H. C.

Seminary Wins 6 to 0 Battle in Mud Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 9.—After battling terrifically in the mud without either team showing much superiority, Seminary got an unexpected break when a pass from their center was fumbled by one of their backs, Whedby recovered and ran 19 yards to the 5 yard line and Brown was the first man to carry a ball to a Union goal line this year. The Union-Seminary game was staged last Saturday in a steady drizzle before a fair-sized crowd, and Seminary won 6 to 0. A newly-welded 11, minus 4 varsity men, fought like Trojans, and the famous Whedby could not complete one forward pass. As usual, Tobin, the sensational Union center, was the outstanding man in line play and he was ably supported by a hard-fighting line. Gardner and Lightfoot played desperately on the line. A practically new backfield had the bulk of the offensive work to do with Breaux, the peppery young quarter, directing the team well. Cotton hit hard, but could not get a footing on the slippery field. W. A. Smith made the longest run for Union when he skirted right end for 18 yards. Watson and Whedby were Seminary's backfield aces with Brown doing some hard-hitting. Pope was notable on line play. Union—0 Va. Sem. and Col—6 Ruffin . . . L.E. . . . Walker Houston . . . L.T. . . .

Johnson Phila., Pa.—The writer chanced to journey out to Lincoln University last week with a photographer to shoot a sitting of the football squad. While waiting for the athletes to assemble for this purpose we took the opportunity to interrogate coaches, players and students to ascertain their attitude as to the outcome of the Thanksgiving Day Classie with Howard. Despite the poor showing to date of their grid warriors they are maintaining a very optimistic view of the outcome of their most important battle of the season. Two of their best players who have been incapacitated for some time are expected to round into shape by the time of the blowing of the whistle for the start of play on November 26 on Shibe Park, grid. Head Coach Young attributes the poor showing of his subjects to their inability to book the proper number of early collegiate games which would have had a tendency to have aroused that energetic feeling which has been living dormant. The friction last year between Howard and the C. I. A. A. with Lincoln standing firm in respect to its contract with Howard, thereby causing a cancellation of all C. I. A. A. games with Lincoln which forced early games with small semi-pro teams, the coach feels, was a serious handicap at the outset, but at the same time he is confident that with the three hard tests prior to the Thanksgiving battle and with the return of his valuable assistant, Martin, that has resumed his duties, that the weakness will have been sufficiently been found out and remedied that they will be ready to give a good account of themselves on Turkey Day. vs. Lincoln Curtain 8:15 Prompt Living Night FASHIONABLE of Music ny—8000 D and LOCUST PHIA, PA.

THEATERS What the Press Agents Say SMALL BUT UNUSUAL CAST IN "THE UNHOLY THREE" "The Unholy Three," an exceptional crook drama replete with heart-interest directed by Tod Browning for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and now being shown at the Rosalia Theatre, has a small but unusual cast. Mae Busch, who portrays the leading romantic role, is the featured player and opposite her appears Matt Moore, one of the most popular leading men of the screen. The crook trio is interpreted by Lon Chaney, famous character actor and make-up artist; Victor McLagden, one of the best known leading men on the English screen and Harry Earles, aidget who is making his first appearance on the screen. Each of the last three plays a dual role, thus giving the cast a much larger appearance. Mathew Betz, well known character actor, completes the group of players. "Two Shall be Born" will be the attraction at the Rosalia Theatre on Wednesday. It is an adaptation of Marie Conway Oemler's popular novel of the same name. The story treats of the lives of a girl in The Prague, sent to America on a diplomatic mission, and the son of a New York financier. Around these two is woven a plot full of adventure, romance and dramatic situations. The cast includes Jane Novak, Kenneth Harlan, Sigrid Holmquist, Fuller Mellish, Frank Sheridan, Catherine Evans, Blanche Craig Joseph Burke, Walter James and Zyllah Inez Shannon. REPUBLIC THEATRE Rod La Rocque, star of "The Ten Commandments," will be at the Republic in "The Coming of Amos" on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, November 15, 16, 17. "The Coming of Amos" was made under the supervision of Cecil B. DeMille. Nosh Beery and Jetta Gouldal are also in the cast. "The Coming of Amos" is the story of a boy who sought education and found fascination. It is a sentillating drama in a gorgeous setting of unrivaled splendor and beauty. Metro-Goldwyn picture "Exchange of Wives" will be shown on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 18, 19, 20. Lew Cody has the chief role supported by Eleanor Boardman, Creighton Hale and Reene Adoree. Mr Sanford manager of the Republic has this to say of it: "I personally recommend 'Exchange of Wives' as one of the finest photoploys of the Year. Lew Cody is at his very best in this picture." On Saturday, November 21—for that day only—Evelyn Brent in "Three Wise Crooks" will be shown. It is a first run picture. On the stage will be presented at 7:20 and 9:20, Dick Hall's Night Hawk Serenaders, assisted by talent. "LIGHT OF THE WESTERN STARS" COMING TO THE BROADWAY Starting Sunday, 'till Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present Zane Grey's masterpiece in the showing of "The Light of the Western Stars," with Jack Holt, Billie Dove and Noah Beery. Critics herald "Light of the Western Stars" as greater than the "Thundering Herd." Both were made by same director. It is a smashing romance of the Arizona border in the days when a quick trigger and a fast horse were a man's best friends. Tuesday, House Peters in "Raffles, The Amateur Crakesman." Wednesday and Thursday, Bebe Daniels in the "Manicure Girl," while the week ends on Friday and Saturday and will settle a long asked question "Can any woman get by on her looks alone now adays?

In Los Angeles, Rob Roy Benton, Dempsey's press agent, announced to The Associated Press he was quitting the Dempsey camp rather than be a party to what, he declared, was "an impending invalidation of the Fitzsimmons contract." But there were hasty denials to this. From Ray Cannon, Milwaukee attorney for Dempsey, as well as Andrew C. Weisburg, head of the South Bend syndicate.

Howard University . . . 0 0 0 6—6 Wilberforce U. . . . 0 0 0 0—9 Some one has charged that the letter "e" is the most important letter in the English alphabet as it is forever out of cash and always in debt and never out of danger. Much credit is due it, however, in that it is never in war and always in peace. We are under obligations to this little letter, as it is the beginning of existence and the end of trouble. Without it, there would be no Tech, no meat, no bread, no life, no Heaven! It is the center of honesty, and although it starts off in error, it ends making love perfect. MATINEES DAILY 2 P.M.

Roberts of New York, president of the Lincoln Alumni Association, and Dr. W. G. Alexander of New Jersey, graduate manager of the football team will be the alumni representatives of Lincoln. The students of both institutions will be represented by members of the senior and junior classes. Music for the occasion will be furnished, alternately by the hand of the R. C. Ogden Association of Philadelphia, the Howard University Orchestra and Lincoln University - Orchestra. The Howard quartette and the Lincoln quintet which was the sensation of the season at Youngs Pier, Atlantic City, last year, will render selections throughout the evening. After a short period for fraternization, the Armory will be given over to the charge of the orchestra, which will direct the movement of the crowd. In order that as many of the alumni and friends of both institutions may be present, arrangements have been made for running special trains from Washington, Baltimore and New York. The demand for tickets has been unprecedented. The securing of Shibe Park, which assures adequate accommodations, easy access and egress, will prove a great asset for the game. The ticket agencies in Washington are as follows: Maxwell's Book Store, 2016 Georgia Avenue, and en route on Maxwell's Special for the classic.

He has one of the finest flashes offered by a Negro in the business, and one that takes nice money for clean and interesting merchandise that has actual value either as a utility or for home decorations. Wonder how many Washingtonians realize that the ardent church worker in a Baptist Church at Fifth and M Streets, Northwest, was once an actor of international experience. Frank Poole, now a sedate citizen played "Quimbo" in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and many other roles in the company that Ernest Hogan and Billy McClain headed for Mr. McAdoo in Australia. Jenkins and Jenkins have joined the "Sunshine Sammy" vaudeville revue. They opened with the outfit at the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. The unit goes to Norfolk next. Al. Jackson, manager of the Empress Theatre, Columbia, Ohio, has made a local reputation for generosity in placing publicity through his patronage for the soldiers reunion recently held in the town. Salem Tutt-Whitney was the dinner guest of the Business Men's Club and made a speech to the group that obtained considerable local publicity during the engagement of their show in Columbus, Ohio. Esther Bijou was the headliner at the Strand Theatre, Jacksonville, Fla. last week. Colored Acts Listed byIndependent Bookers as "Name" Acts The independent bookers in and around New York have set forth an effort to raise the standard of the bills in their houses in the metropolitan district. Walter Plimmer, Fally Marcus, and the Jack Linder, H. D. Collins and the others booking in the district independently of the established circuits have determined to spend more on their programs, and in doing so insist upon obtaining acts that have "Name" value. They depend upon the names drawing an increased business that will justify the expense. Among the acts mentioed as typical of the kind desired to meet the new requirement is the Wilbur Sweatnam band with Sweatnam doing his triple saxophone specialty. No doubt there are several other Negro acts listed with the bookers. A Letter Different From Most Communications That Performers Like to Show A casual conversation, during the rainy hours of last Saturday afternoon at the Summit Hotel, happened to turn upon the angle of home, parents and old age. In support of a viewpoint, Johnnie Lee Long brought out a letter from his father and mother. So profoundly filled with proof of filial devotion and the parental appreciation of it, that we have prevailed upon the owner to permit but because the party succeeded in its being printed, not in vain display; convincing the modest Johnnie that it might remind some other professional of HOME and MOTHER. Here is the letter: "Dear Son: I received your special, also the five dollars for which I am thankful and pray the Lord to bless you, and your dear wife abundantly. I ask Him to keep both of you unto Himself for you are both excellent. I don't know what I would do if it were not for you two. You keep the home and keep bread in my mouth. The house someday will have to be yours and your wife's for you have been a son and daughter to me truly. What is yours is hers. Give my love to her." "Son the taxes are due on December first and the books close on December 20th. I thank you very much for your good deeds that come steadily. May the Lord bless you and your wife. Your father and mother." (Signed) LEONA & JOHN Now, isn't there a nice lesson in that for every performer and a fine demonstration of what a daughter-in-law may do to make happy the parents of her husband? My hat is off to them. They deserve good fortune. "Lucky Sambo" a Hit at Two Dollar Top 1 The Lucky Sambo company did the expected thing at the bity two-dollar-top house of the Columbia Circuit, the Columbia Theater, New York. Billy Higgins and Byrd, of Byrd and Ewing, simply stood the white folkos on their heads with their comedy. Al Watts, stage manager of the show, pronounced himself as being fully satisfied with the class of performance his big company put up. He closes his letter with compliments to "Miss Dez," S. H. Dudley and the gang about headquarters in Washinton. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE ActorsUnionSee What Equity is Doing For Its Members This is Possible where ther are Numbers and Money, plus Intelligence. At a recent meeting of the Actors Equity Association a committee was appointed to make the necessary changes in the constitution and contracts with producing managers to provide for triplicate artists contracts, one for the manager, one for the performer as at present, and a third to be filed with the Equity Association so that the evasions of extra pay for more than the standard eight performances each week. The triplicate will be kept confidently and the figures thereon are to be known only to Mr. Emerson and Mr. Duzzie, president and secretary. The committee of five appointed to consult with the Council on the matter of broadening the constitution to cover more thorny the possibilities consists of Walter Hampden, Thomas Findlay, Robert McWade, George Leguerre and Charles Winninger. The next five, in the order of the most votes received, are Eva Le Gallienne, Wilton Lackaye, Charles Dow Clark, Josephine Hull and Dudley Digges. Among those present on the stage in addition to Emerson, Gillmore and Grant Stewart, were Fritz Williams, Bruce McRae, Grant Mitchell, Robert Strange and Rollo Peters. The above is indicative of the extent to which an organization can, and will go, for its members when those same members provide the numerical strength and financial resources with which its officers may work. The Actors Union can find an excellent lesson is this organization that so effectively looks after its members interest. Our word is "Go Thou and Do Likewise" to as great an extent as our resources will permit. Philadelphia Notes Philadelphia Notes (By Charles Johnson) DRAMA REPLACED BY VAUDE-VILLE AT DUNBAR THEATRE Over-night dissension has caused Frank Fielder to suddenly withdraw his recently organized dramatic players headed by Evelyn Ellis from the Dunbar. At present the future of this organization is undecided. “Sunshine” Sammy surrounded by such stellar acts as Sid Easton Triow—Brown and Marguerite—Francis and Grace (Rector)—and Jenkins and Jenkins succeeded the Fielder Dramatic Players into the Dunbar. “Jack” Johnson of heavy weight pugilistic fame, is headlining a heavy bill at the Standard this week. Bea Freeman, formerly of Shuffle Along and the Liza Broadway casts, after a brief layoff from professional activities has joined the Brown Skin Models Co. Cress Simmons, former manager of Dunbar Theatre of this city and Douglass of Baltimore, who is now sole proprietor of the Hotel Attucks, 15th and Catherine Streets has just closed a contract to take care of the entire Lincoln University delegation (squad and rooters) during the Thanksgiving period. "Bobby" Lee of orchestra musical fame is in the city recruiting a new "Cotton Pickers" organization. Gertie Wells of Washington, D.C., is being heavily billed for a Thanksgiving appearance at Clayton's Academy. Irvin Miller's Brown Skin Models which has benefited by several noticeable changes split the past week between Long Branch, Asbury Park and New Brunswick, New Jersey. Geo. Dewey Washington a baritone vocalist of ability has just rounded out a praiseworthy two weeks engagement at the Fox Theatre as the leads of a miniature revue of twelve dancing damselfs, all white. Direct word from Paris gives us the information that Claude Hopkins' Musical Six has the Parisian musical situation "bottled up." Sandy Burns the Standard Theatre "fixure," is daily becoming more and more a sterling Tibune booster. He with his valuable lieutenants, Bidou and Fred Hart join in best wishes for "The Page" (J. A.) and his associates. LEAVING BURLESQUE FOR VAUDEVILLE Aaron and Kelly, have given notice and will close with the "Bathing Beauties" Co, on the Columbia Wheel at Pittsburgh, Pa., on November 21, to return to vaudeville, with dates out of the Keith offices, according to report. Salary dissatisfaction is said to be the cause of the mid-season change. The Washington Tribune News of Theaters, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements The Deacons CORNER No. 8 TO BREAKFAST NEWSPAPER MEN Those Columbus Deacons insist upon having a place in just about every activity in their community and by so doing they maintain a place in the focus of national notice. The latest move is disclosed by invitations that have gone forth to the newspaper men of the country to a breakfast on Thanksgiving day at the Spring Street Y. M. C. A. as guests of Corner 8. This is the occasion of the great midwest football classic the Wilberforce-West Virginia Collegiate Institute game that is comparable to the Howard-Lincoln game at Philadelphia in public interest. It is an occasion of great social activity in the Ohio capital and this year the Alla Baba Temple of Shriners will stage a reception which will undoubtedly draw an immense Masonic crowd. The Shriners through the local Deacons have asked the cooperation of the P. P. Boys for the occasion. Those participating will be guests along with the newspaper boys covering the game at the breakfast which according to the invitations is given in honor of the founder of the Deacons club, your humble Editor of the Tribune. The officers of No. 8 are: W. C. T. Ayres, Central District, Vice President; A. W. Hardy, Sr. Deacon; Ray Hughes, Jr. Deacon; Howard Gillard, Secretary; Forrest Whittaker, Sergeant-at-Arms. We know the gang, and any pencil pusher, sports writer or not who happens to be in Columbus and fails to be at the "Y" at nine-thirty Thanksgiving morning will certainly be cheating himself. Besides that they will get their names in the new Columbus Weekly News, the biggest little paper in the land. Dixie Jubilee Singers Being Booked by the Greater N. Y. Federation of Churches The Dixie Jubilee Singers of Baltimore, a group that was introduced to New York thru the medium of "THE PAGE" while it was a Billboard feature, has been listed on the books of Frank C. Goodman, secretary of the Greater N. Y. Federation of Churches who provides the entertainment for church and allied organization concerts etc. for 8,000 churches in the state of New York. The group includes eight people, one of whom is a pianist and another an arranger. They have a repertoire of more than a hundred numbers many of which have been written with their own special and peculiar harmony arrangements. The N. Y. Sun, Telegram, Women's Wear and Herald Tribune have set the seal of their critics' approval upon the group. They have recorded many of their numbers on the mechanicals for the Brunswick Phonograph Co. A short while since the group was presented with great success in the Rivoli Theater, one of Broadway's most famous film and presentation houses. Famous Bandmaster Goes to Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. (By The Associated Negro Press) The Tuskegee Band of fifty pieces is being rapidly put into shape under the leadership of Warrant Officer, Wade H. Hammond, veteran army bandmaster who is on temporary leave from his post with the Tenth Cavalry Band at Fort Huachucha, Arizona. Mr. Hammond began his army career during the Spanish American War, when he was Bandmaster of the 3rd Alabama Regiment. He studied band music at Royal Military School of Music in London, and for the past nineteen years, nine of which were spent in the Philippine Islands, he has served with the Ninth Cavalry bands. His present service with the Tuskegee Institute Band is made possible through the courtesy and interest of Colonel J. C. Rhea, Commander of the Tenth Cavalry. "BUDDY" AUSTIN RENOVATES AND IMPROVES STRAND THEATRE (From Jacksonville Sentinel) Patrons of the Strand Theatre are very much pleased over the recent improvements of the Theatre just finished by Mr. S. A. (Buddy) Austin. The entire front has been repainted, new steps leading to the balcony have been added and the interior has been entirely renovated. The Strand now looks like a new building is very much more comfortable. When improvements were started Mr. Austin renovated from the back to the front stopping at nothing. The sidewalk in front has been extended to the front giving much more room for the sign boards which adorn the sidewalk. This is in keeping with the program of Mr. Austin to give his patrons the best theatre for colored in the South SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 N'S THEAT arks, Fairs, The Deacons Club Dudley Denies Being Party to Low Salary Offers Word came to the Tribune from New York that a number of Negro novelty acts had been negotiated with for an appearance at the Howard The- [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie].

Wells and Wells, who were one of the eight Negro novelty acts that had been submitted reports that Jimmie Cooper of the Howard offered all the acts a figure below their standard, with the avowal that if they would not accept the figure that S. H. Dudley would provide acts at the lower salaries. When showed the letter, Mr. Dudley declared that he is not booking the Howard Theater; but that he had discussed with Mr. Cooper the placing of an act for the week of November 23, for as he explained, "I am always seeking to expand the chances for employment of our acts, even the at times, it be in theaters not on the T. O. B. A. Circuit. "I did not," he continued, "have any conversation whatever with Mr. Cooper concerning acts for the week of November 9. Nor have I ever, at any time submitted an act at other than its standard figure, for my years of experience has taught me the working value, the box office value, the price an act wants, what it will take, and the price that has been set as a reasonable standard for it in theaters of the circuit, or in theaters of other circuits or independent houses. I am well aware that the value of an act often varies by virtue of a number of circumstances and conditions such as the scale of prices, the size of the house, the total expense of a program and its relative importance to the type of bill. One who has performed as long as I have, and one who was the pioneer Negro circuit organizer, as well as the first proponent of an actors' organization among the managers who have been loath to accept the idea, would hardly be the person who would go out of his way to assist anyone to brow beat acts to accept salary offers that are lower than the acknowledged standard of any act. You may make that as emphatic as you care, provided you have it understood that I am always seeking new outlets for their service, and new business for my office; and that I do not sacrifice the performer to do it." Negroes Participate in Dallas Co., Ala., Fair 24th Regiment Band a Feature Negroes indulged in a lively participation in the Dallas County, Ala Fair at Selma. T. M. Campbell, District Agent for Negro Farm Demonstration was largely responsible for the splendid exhibition and the remarkable co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce and other local interests. The 24th Reg't. U. S. A. band from Fort Bennings was the musical attraction. E. C. Roberts, Director of the Academic Department of Tuskegee and Harry Simms, principal of Snow Hill School were among the principal speakers. H. H. Frazier represented the Chamber of Commerce and F. T. Raiford of the Selma Times-Journal were white speakers during the day. A Baby show, the band music, the government exhibits and the Farm Demonstration agent's work, all serve to indicate that if a live fair organization goes after things, any fair may be put over and filled with live interest. --- The Komedy Klub, a New Organization for Seventh Street Counsellor Benj. J. Gaskins Applies For Charter A new social organization has made application to the District commissioners for a charter. The fee has been paid and the granting is but a matter of routine that should be completed by the time this story has appeared in print. The new club will be called the Komedy Klub, unless there is an objection filed against the use of the name which is not a very likely prospect. George Watkins a Chicago real estate dealer who has business interest that occupy much of his time in the district is the President of the new organization. Bart Kennet, manager of the Summit hotel and the Chief Deputy of the Colored Actors Union will be elected Vice President, and General Manager. Boots Hope is slated for secretary. Fifty people, mostly performers constitute the charter membership. The club will be open to application for membership that will be restricted to such as pass the board of directors charged with the selection of members. Two floors of No. 1235 Seventh St. N. W. is being altered to provide accommodations for the organization. The card of the Colored Actors Union will be recognized for Honorary membership under an agreement with the Union to donate 5 per cent of the club income of the Union. A radio and mall facilities, a lunch service, and all of the facilities of a first class club will be provided for the members. There will be no cabaret, nor any public entertainment features connected with this project. Bryson and Jones in "Florida Girl" Strappy Jones and Arthur Bryson a dancing team, have been added to the cast of principals in "Florida Girl," an otherwise white show that opened at the Lyric Theatre on Nov. 2. They were signed after having done a tryout at Earl Carroll Theatre a few Sundays ago on a concert Bill. Carroll owns both the theatre and the new show. It is altogether likely that he will have tde team double in the current production of his "Vanities." COLORED ACTORS UNION 1223 Seventh Street, N.W. Washington, D.C.

It so happened that the very first person to be affected by the new order was Florence Mills, the little colored lady who had arranged to open the after theater show at the Planatation Room during the second week of her booking with Vodery's band at the Hippodrome. The order was an imperative one, and could not be waived. She conceded the circuit right to the exclusive appearance for the week, and cancelled with consent the balance of the Keith bookings. Then she set back the opening at the Plantation Room from the Friday originally advertised until Monday of the next week, November 2. The fact that the Plantation Room owners consented to cancellation of Twelve Thousand Dollars worth of reservations for Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nights is a most remarkable tribute to the value of the "Little Colored Blackbird." In fact that her re-appearance at the house should attract such a big patronage is in itself remarkable. It takes SOME reputation to do that on Broadway. NEW YORK CITY.
