FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 27 PUBLISHED WEEKLY HOW Parents Ba OSBORNEDIVORCE CAUSING FIGHT FOR CHILD GETS MO JOB ON STREET OWA nts Ba ORCE GETS MO IGHT JOB ON D STREET Parents Battle for Custody of Child Four year old Gloria Osborne has become the central figure in the sensational Osborne divorce case as the parents, Jerome B. Osborne, of 760 Fairmont Street, Northwest, and Ruth A. Osborne, of 1902 Tenth Street, Northwest, battle for her custody. A hearing on her custody was first had Friday, November 20, and was continued to Friday, November 27. In the meantime, Mr. Osborne, through his attorneys, Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield, has filed a number of affidavits supporting his petition for custody of Gloria. Mrs. Osborne, on the other hand, through her attorneys, Raymond Neudecker and Bertrand Emerson, Jr., has filed her answer in which she emphatically denies the charges of her husband involving her fitness to have custody of their child. One of the affidavits is made by Mrs. Sarah R. Osborne, mother of Jerome Osborne, who lived with her son and his wife at the Fairmont Street adjoined her return from Atlantic City, N.J., August 27 last, she found her daughter-in-law ill. Mrs. Osborne further swears that Dr. Hartford R. Burwell attended her son's wife while she nursed and care for her, and that later she was removed to Dr. S. L. Carson's hospital where she was operated upon on September 1 last. She says in her affidavit that on the day her daughter-in-law was removed to the hospital she discovered a torn letter in the toilet of the bathroom written and signed by "one responsible for condition." She avers that she does not consider her daughter-in-law a fit person to look after Gloria. Helen T. Osborne, of Greensboro, N.C., a sister of Jerome, makes a supporting affidavit in which she declares that she does not consider her sister-in-law a fit person, morally or physically to have custody of Gloria or any other child. Dr. Burwell makes an affidavit that he treated Mrs. Ruth A. Osborne from August 25 to 31, 1925. Dr. Carson makes one that he performed an operation on her on September 1, that she remained a patient in his hospital until September 14, and that she is still undergoing professional treatment as a result of this operation. Affidavits are also submitted from Mrs. Helen E. Rogers and Oliver R. Rogers, of 768 Fairmont Street, Northwest; Mrs. Cora Williams and William Williams, of 762 Fairmont Street, and John E. Harris, of 770 Fairmont Street. These neighbors swear that in view of their observations of the conduct of Mrs. Ruth A. Osborne with the co-respondent, Benjamin F. Pinn, of 712 Kenyon Street, Northwest, they do not consider her a fit person to look after the welfare of Gloria. They swear that they have seen the co-respondent calling at the Osborne home at times during the day and at night when no one would be at home except Mrs. Ruth A. Osborne. In her answer to the cross bill of her husband for a divorce, Mrs. Osborne emphatically and strenuously denies the charge that she committed adultery all during the year 1924 and a greater part of 1925. Such charge, she says is utterly false and without foundation. She declares that she has no knowledge whether or not her husband investigated her conduct with the co-respondent. She claims that there never was occasion for such investigation. She says there is no basis for the charge of misconduct with Mr. Pinn and denies that she carried on improper relations with him and that any act on her part was responsible for her physical condition. She denies that she was operated upon for any social malady and declares that she has never suffered from any such illness or been informed by any medical authority that she was so suffering. She says she was advised to this effect on a missive supposed to be addressed to her. She repeats however, that she had no knowledge of the sending of this letter or of its contents until it was communicated to her after she had gone to the hospital. She asserts that there never was any occasion for the co-respondent to admit that he was the cause of her physical condition and denies vigorously any insinuation of improper relations. She admits her acquaintance with Pinn but does not recall the date when it began. She says that her husband and Pinn were engaged in certain business transactions and that the friendship between them was such --- --- Vol. 5, No. 27 (Continued on Page 8) The Washington Tribune WAR s Battle GETS MOTORMAN JOB ON BOSTON STREET CARS Charles M. Moore, of 3 Webster Court, Boston, Mass., has been appointed a conductor by General Manager Dana of the Boston Rapid Transit System. A furore was caused at the Brookline car barns when the young Negro reported as a "student" for his instructions. Union employees of the company objected to his presence and received the following reply from the general manager: "The company is not going to discriminate against any man on account of his color." Incidentally, there are six more colored applicants on the wait-in list, and it is expected that all will receive places. The state of Massachusetts in 1920 passed a law making discrimination in employment illegal. Only two other large cities have Negro employees as motormen or conductors on street railways. Thomas L. Johnson, one time Mayor of Cleveland, was once the controlling official of both Detroit and Cleveland carlines, and he placed Negroes in the service of both companies. While the numbers have dwindled since the period of about twenty years since, there are a few remaining in service in each city. H. U. TRUSTEESTO MEET IN DECEMBER, SAY'S RUMOR The president of the board of trustees of Howard University, Charles R. Brown of Yale University, has been requested to call a meeting of the board to inquire into the charges preferred against Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, by the Rev. George Frazier Miller, president of the general alumni association, and others, it has been definitively learned. The request for a board meeting to investigate the charges was made by several trustees of the university. Under the by-laws it is the duty of the president of the board to call a meeting whenever requested to do so by a certain number of members of the board. The call for the meeting has not yet been issued. JUDGE SCOTT OF PHILADELPHIA, IS DEAD JUDGE SCOTT OF PHILADELPHIA, IS DEAD Magistrate Amos Merritt Scott, generally conceded to be the leader of the Colored Republicans of Philadelphia and for many years prominent in the business and fraternal activities of the city, died at his home on Tuesday of this week. Judge Scott, as he was familiarly known, was for many years proprietor of the famous hotel which bore his name. He was also a director, and at one time president, of the Douglass Hospital, and an organizer and treasurer of the Keystone Bank, holding this position up to his death.

JIM CROW SCHOOL TAX FIGHT LOSES Jackson, Miss., Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—The Supreme Court turned down Monday the petition of Covington County Negro citizens through F. B. Bryant to enjoin the sheriff and tax collector of the county from collecting taxes from a Negro district in the county for the support of white schools. The Negro citizens complained that the tax law was discriminatory. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1925 VICTORY LIFE QUALIFIES IN NEW YORK STATE New York, N.Y., Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—According to Lester Walton in the New York World the Victory Life has been licensed to do business in the State of New York. It represents a signal victory for the officials of this company, no other outside organization having gone into the state within the last twenty-five years, so stringent are the laws regarding insurance. Anthony Overton, president of the company, two weeks ago, admitted that preparations were being made to enter this state and that officials were then in Chicago going over the condition of the company. The Victory Life Insurance Company is about two years old. THIEVES THROW BRICK THROUGH STORE WINDOW George W. Taylor's jewelry store at 1025 U Street, Northwest, was robbed of its window display about 6:20 a.m. Monday morning. Two Negroes, both comparatively young boys, had loitered about the vicinity for some minutes, according to Mrs. Williams, who saw them from her apartment window across the street. Just as she was about to notify the police, one of them heaved a brick thru the window and they helped themselves to a Howard watch, two diamond rings, two cheaper watches, a half dozen fountain pens and some minor articles, and made their escape. The plate glass window was completely shattered. Nothing inside the store room itself was disturbed. The window and its contents are fully covered by insurance. WILLIAM ELLIS IS HELD FOR SECOND DEGREE MURDER William Nelson Ellis was convicted of second degree murder by a jury in criminal division No. 2 of the District Supreme Court before Justice Wendell P. Stafford in connection with the death of Agnes Muse, May 23 last. He was charged with slashing the woman with a razor during an altercation at her home, 711 S Street, Northwest, where he was a roomer. According to the testimony of other roomers in the house, Ellis had been threatening for a period of six months prior to the killing, to take her life. On the night of May 23 they got in an argument over some linen which Ellis claimed belonged on his bed. The evidence showed that the woman who weighed about 250 pounds, had struck Ellis with a large shell prior to his fatal attack upon her. The government claimed that this blow was struck in self defense when he attempted to pull the woman over a railing while she was on her way from the first to the second floor. At the time of his arrest Ellis signed a statement in which he admitted killing the woman and said that he intended to do so. During the trial he denied having made this statement and claimed that his actions at the time of the homicide and his statement to the police were consistent with the theory of self-defense which he pleaded. He claimed that she attacked him as he went to the bathroom to wash the blood from his head from the first blow. The verdict carries a penalty of from 20 years to life imprisonment. Ellis was remanded for sentence by Attorneys Bennett, Clinton and Thomas. Assistant United States Attorney John W. Fihelly conducted the prosecution. Tribune Ads Bring Results SPENCER MURRAY OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY Had Travelled with Many Famous People, including Half Dozen Presidents Mr. Spencer Murray, one of the oldest inhabitants of Washington, died at his residence, 1707 10th Street, Northwest, Monday at 12:45 a.m. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Margaret Murray and three children, Mr. Joseph Murray, Mrs. Nettie Murray Brown, of Baltimore, and Miss Edna Murray, a teacher in our schools. Mr. Murray had been a member of St. Luke's P. E. Church for a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Murray were married by Rev. Alexander Crummell in St. John's Episcopal Church, forty-four years ago, and are said to have the distinction of having been the only Colored couple ever to have been married there. They are among the founders of St. Luke's P. E. Church from which the deceased was buried. Mr. Murray was for forty years one of the most trusted employees of the Pullman Company, and at the time of his death was running on the Federal Express, the 'crack' train between Washington and New England. For many years, he was reserved by the company for special service, requiring exceptionally capable work. He has travelled on special cars and trains conveying every president since, and including Grover Cleveland; and was in charge of the travel comfort of Prince Henry of Germany when that Royal personage made his tour of America. Just last year he was invited to Chicago by the company with transportation provided for himself and wife to attend and participate in the Fiftieth Anniversary of the company, and to demonstrate the differences between the early models of cars and the present-day degree of perfection. Neval Thomas, a long-time friend of the family, and an authority-upon "who's who" in Washington pays the following tribute to what he terms a remarkable man. "The passing of Spencer Murray removes from Washington a unique figure and one of its most useful citizens. As head of a considerable family, as a devout member of the Christian Church who lived its teachings in every-day life, as supporter of charities and other uplift agencies. Mr. Murray was a model citizen. "Mr. Murray possessed a keen intellect, and in his relationship with the leading minds of his day he acquired a liberal education. He could discuss the leading foreign and domestic policies in correct English although his school days were very few, he had the manners of the most refined. "Mr. Murray's chief pride was in his family. Through hard work he reared a family of four children, and was able to see everyone of them graduate from our high school. "He had as fine a sense of family and social duty as any man who ever lived. Home, Church, Charity—these three were the consuming passion of his soul. "If the Pullman company had a special party requiring utmost tact and reliability as that of the President of the United States, Mr. Murray was summoned from other duties and assigned. He has had charge of Presidential parties since the first administration of Grover Cleveland in 1885. He served Presidents Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, and Taft. He was with President McKinley when he was shot by an assassin at Buffalo in 1901. He kept watch over the cabinet door in the Milbourn Mansion in that city when Roosevelt took the oath of office in the parlor before his cabinet, and when he immediately slapped his hand on the table in true Rooseveltian fashion and said, "Gentlemen, I shall consider it treason if any of you resign." Roosevelt kept his word and kept the entire McKinley cabinet. He accompanied the remains to Washington, and from there to Canton, Ohio, where it was interred." TRY WOMAN FOR MURDER Jackson, Tenn., Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—Mrs. Sallie May Lockett was given a preliminary trial on a charge of murder in the magistrate's court here Tuesday. She is accused of killing Marie Anderson with a pocketknife. The court, after hearing the proof held the defendant to the grand jury in the sum of $250. HOUSTON TO IMPROVE SCHOOLS Houston, Texas, Nov. 25 (Preston News Service)—The colored school system of this city will profit considerably from the school bond issue voted by the city a few days ago. A definite program, providing for the enlargement and improvement of the fifteen existing schools and the erection of some new ones, has been worked out in detail, it is said, by the school board, after a careful survey of the need. Additional grounds are to be purchased in the case of five or six schools; four new buildings are to be erected, and fifty or sixty class rooms to be added to present buildings, besides a number of large additions to be used as play grounds and auditoriums. Upon pledge by the school board that Negoes would share proportionately in the improvements, provided the bond issue passed, the Negoes voted almost unanimously for its passage.

NEGRO VOTERS HOLD BALANCE OF POWER IN LOUISIANA New Orleans, Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—A movement is on foot to have all colored citizens, male and female, pay their poll taxes before the first of the year in order to overcome the "lily white" republican movement now being organized in the state. There are sufficient colored voters if they choose to exercise their right of franchise to turn the tide of elections either way in Louisiana. 28 BOX 12ems 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS W. PRICE 5 CENTS N O ROWD JAMS SHIBE SONS AND LIONS SCORELESS TIE By LOUIS R. LAUTIER Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26.—One of the most colorful crowds that has ever witnessed a Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day game sat in Shibe Park today and saw the two college elevens battle through four periods of fifteen minutts each. Visitors were here from all sections of the country. The alumni of the two schools mingled with the student bodies and gave vent to their enthusiasm as the cheer leaders danced and pranced before the rival sections. Before during and after the game there were reunions of class and school-mates of other days. In the official Howard University box were Dr. J. Stanky Durkee, president of Howard University, and Mrs. Durkee; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Scott; Dr. M. O. Dumas, trustee, and Mrs. Dumas; Dr. John R.

Mitchell, Institute, W. Va.; Fred R. Moore, New York City. Lincoln University, doped to lose, held Howard University to a scoreless tie in their annual Thanksgiving Day football game at Shibe Park this afternoon. It was one of the most thrilling and bitterly fought contests ever staged between these ancient rivals. The day was ideal for football. The sky was clear and the air crisp, and a crowd estimated at 22,000 persons watched the two elevens fight doggedly through four periods of fifteen minutes each, during which the tide of battle was first in favor of one and then the other team. Twice the Lincoln team attempted to score by field goals from placements, but the ball went wide of its mark. On the first attempt in the second quarter Anderson missed a field goal only by inches. His second attempt went wide. In the second quarter Jack Coles, Howard's quarterback attempted to drop kick a field goal on a fourth down, but the ball was blocked. Thrilling runs for long distances thrilled the crowd repeatedly. "Tick" Smith and Dodson for Howard and Anderson and Taylor for Lincoln were the chief ground gainers. But it was Grasty, who made the feature play of the game as he broke through the Blue and White line, blocked Dodson's punt and recovered the ball on the Howard 10-yard line. Goodman was thrown for a 5-yard loss and Anderson's placement kick went wide. In the fourth quarter Dodson made a 35-yard run eluding the whole Lincoln team save Hibbler who tackled him on the Lincoln 27-yard line. Dodson later gained 25 yards on a run from a fake kick formation. Anderson also intercepted Howard's forward passes, and on one made a run of 30 yards. Those were the high spots in the game. The details are as follows: First Quarter Lincoln kicked off, Dan Brown running the ball back 10 yards. Dodson and "Tek" Smith failed to gain more than 3 yards, and Dodson kicked to the Lincoln 40-yard line. Lincoln failed to gain and Anderson kicked to the Howard 4 yard line. Dodson punted to his 40 yard line, and Callaway ran the ball back to the 27 yard line. Anderson gained 18 yards around end. An attempted pass resulted in a 20-yard loss as well as the loss of the ball. Dodson gained 3 yards through center. Dan Brown gained 2 yards.

A few scales on the scalp are more or less normal, but when patches of dry scales appear, treatment should be immediate and drastic, as the indication is that of a disease which, if not arrested, will destroy the hair. The first essential in promoting the growth of the hair is to keep your scalp in a healthy condition. Beautiful hair is not a matter of luck, but simply a matter of care. Shampooing is the most important thing. A good shampoo cleans the pores of the scalp matter which impedes the circulation and destroys the gerns which feed upon the notrishing matter which should be absorbed by the cells and follicles. It thus keeps the hair from becoming brittle and falling out. By removing the cause of the trouble, it brings the scalp and hair to a normal condition of health. The dandruff goes, the itching ceases and the hair grows thick and glossy, healthy and strong. Cubistic cuties also are being displayed gorgeously through the sheer outer garments of the best dressed dames. Neither old lace nor embroidery nor crepe de chine ones are any longer smart. The fashion has a strictly American origin, since it is claimed that it was rendered necessary because of the peculiar steps of the Charleston, which, if properly executed, naturally force the danger to exhibit knees; thus the novel combination is fashioned pantelettewise, but stops above the knee, which is covered only by a longish flounce, more often then not quite visible below the short skirts. Most spices used on our tables derive their pleasant flavor from the volatile oil which they contain. This means that if their freshness is to be preserved they must be kept as far as possible from the air so as not to lose the delicate aroma that is destroyed when the volatile oils are broken up. --- --- PAGE TEN Amm's time is fast approaching and our recipes and instruction will deal with cake making, candy making and other delicacies suitable for the Amm holidays. This week our lesson will be in cake making and we wish to assure our readers that all recipes are tested and if directions are carefully followed we guarantee a very fine product. CAKE MAKING Cakes are generally divided into two main classes: sponge cakes and butter cakes. Sponge cakes contain no butter and are very light and of a squiggy texture. Butter cakes take all cakes made with shortening. Today we will discuss sponge-cake. Spnoge Cake Sponge cakes might be called egg cakes in distinction to butter cakes, which must have shortening. They are easily digested and may be given to infants with safety when they are only to eat what is called a regular dist. Some are made entirely from egg whites. These are called angel cakes because of their whiteness and feathery structure. In cake making there are three operations necessary for success; stirring—to mix thoroughly the ingredients; heating—to incorporate air into the mixture; cutting and folding—to keep from breaking the air cells and losing air. The white of egg gives lightness, the flour, the body; the egg yolks, richness, and the sugar the sweetness necessary. The yolks also help to build the sugar in distribution. They make excellent binders. Lemon is generally added to sponge cakes to give flavor. True sponge cake is made wholly with eggs and no other leavening agent, it is therefore absolutely necessary to observe carefully the operations of beating and cutting and folding, because the lightness of the cake will depend wholly upon air. For economy however, we are giving in motion for true sponge cake and baking powder Baking Beware of too hot an oven when baking any cake. The cake batter nearest the pan will get hot, cook and burn before the rest of the cake has a chance to get done. Sometimes we find a hard covering forming over the cake and then the inside which is still uncooked, in rising, breaks this covering and oozes up giving our cake a very uneven appearance. By Mme. W. R. DUDLEY Washington, D. C. Hair is Nature's lovely frame for the face. She blends her colors exquisitely like the great artist that she is. As one grows older the hair loses luxuriance unless cared for properly. On the other hand, hair will acquire qualities of beauty through the right treatment. Do not neglect it, for hair is alive. It needs food, stimulation, exercise, attention, just like every other body cell. And only healthy hair can be beautiful. There are several diseases of the scalp, which if neglected, may cause baldness. The most common of which is seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as dandruff. In its usual manifestation this condition shows an abundance of small grayish scales on the scalp or nose in the hair; it is frequently seen on the clothing around the neck or on the shoulders. The condition is apt to be very annoying to the patient because of the constant itching of the scalp. An antiseptic ointment applied to the scalp is very beneficial. It is a recognized fact, that if dandruff is allowed to remain on the scalp, it will produce AND THE WOMAN PAYS Just What it Takes to Put the Average Young Woman in a Presentable Condition for the Street These Days Her hat—let's see, you can't get one for much less than $5, and it won't be an exclusive Paris creation at that. The colder weather demands, of course a fur trimmed coat; $70 will get a fairly good one. Then the frock, silk, two piece—well about $25 will make it presentable. Gloves $3.00 and the indispensable silk hose at $2.00 and up—up to any amount. Then certain intimate garments which flappers say will cost about $15. And shoes to keep a dainty foot out of the snow positively aren't available for less than $10. Alt. rather with an expenditure of $130. t' average woman appears on the street. Consider the cost of the average woman's attire.

CHARLESTON CHEMISE TAKES PARIS Paris, France, Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—The Charleston Chemise is one of the few garments which must be worn by smart women here this winter. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Answers to Queries By Vee Tee Tee Dear Vee Tee Tee: Should a girl who is single and has no responsibilities save her money and invest it or should she take the advice of those who say "go ahead and enjoy yourself now, for you won't be able after awhile." VIOLET. My dear little friend, I am going to give you my answer just as I see it. As you say, there are those who will not agree with me, but nevertheless I hope you will understand that I give you the benefit of my observation of conditions as I have seen them exist and then the probable cause and probable cure for them. I really think any girl, single, married or a widow who does not try to save or make her earnings show in some way, ought not be allowed to profit from any good paying job. However, it seems that those kind of people are the very ones who hold good jobs. Some girls believe in so much outward show, they put their whole salary each month "on their backs" so to speak never thinking of what tomorrow might bring forth. I agree, a single girl must make a good showing in order to attract and encourage an adventure along matrimonial lines, but should she do so to the exclusion of everything else? Clothes do not make the woman and the sooner our girls learn this, the better off they will be. I have seen girls rigged from head to foot in expensive fur coats, gold hats, etc., and follow these same girls home and you will find they haven't a decent bed to sleep in; the homes are ill kept; and they look out of place when even entering their home. Yet good money is made and spent without any returns. The "social" butterfly spends hers trying to keep up with the social whirl and as her money is turning into fine clothes, laces and entertainment, the thrifty girl is turning hers into service, savings and investments. She has a good time but not at the expense of her future happiness. I believe in a girl enjoying herself—yet she should have enough business in her to want more than enjoyment. Life is never certain, health may fail any minute—then what? Will the associated take care of her? No indeed, they have gone to seek the new, gay colored buds just emerging from the chrysalis state, while she must depend upon the stable, steady, sensible folks whom she before spurned. Then why not sense these things beforehand? Why wait until the fall of life to begin? Start while life is young and be prepared should fate so decree a change in your being. Reap what you sow in the form of a harvest instead of in the form of destruction. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" so intermingle your pleasure to the extent that life is a happy one, yet never forget to save and invest a portion of your money for a rainy day. Hoping I have satisfactorily answered your question, and you will profit by it, I remain, Yours, VEE TEE TEE. From the Melting Pot Don't continually discuss a person you know only in a passing way as if he or she was intimate acquaintance simply because you think it means prestige to you to associate with that person. You make yourself appear ridiculous and establish the name of being a "social climber," irrespective of the means by which you climb. Don't be too hasty in drawing conclusions about a new acquaintance. Sometimes they are just the opposite from what you have summed them up to be. Don't say mean, ugly things about a person who surpasses you. Set your goal just a trifle higher and try again. Be brave enough to face a person with whom you have a grievance and fairly thrash the matter out instead of resorting to underhanded methods in order to "get even." Straight-forwardness is always the best policy. Be a good mixer. It gains for you the respect, confidence and good will of all the people. Treat those under your management with feeling. An employee works better if he feels he is appreciated. Give him a word of encouragement occasionally instead of always finding fault and you will readily note the difference in the character of his work. A person best knows who his friends are when he becomes "down and out." As long as health is present thus enabling one to entertain and feast the rabble "friends" are innumerable. Let dame misfortune knock and the so-called friends vanish in the air. PUMPKIN PUFFS Mix throughly half a pint of sifted pumpkin, two tablespoons of melted butter, a quarter of a cup of milk and seasoning of salt and pepper. Fold in two beaten eggs white and turn into a buttered mold; set in a pan of hot water and bake until firm, turnout and spread over the top some damson jam and whipped cream. Helpful Suggestions The only way to keep crackers and cookies from absorbing moisture and becoming soggy is to keep them in air-tight boxes, wrapped in paraffin paper. An egg is good if it looks clear when held to the light; if it looks thick, it is stale. If there is a black spot attached to the shell, it is worthless. When the ribbon bindings on blankets wear out, crochet an edge on the ends of the blankets in pink, blue or the color scheme of your room. This is much less expensive, and too, binding wears well and when worn may be renewed. Baked apples are delicious and healthy if they are served with the scooped out core filled with raisins. Tangerine is a pleasant variation of the orange, and will add variety to the fruit course of the winter breakfast. To make window glass bright, dissolve a lump of starch in the water with which it is washed. In dealing with the Kmas turkey (or any turkey) there is really only one way in which to stuff it. Go down town to the block east of Washington Market and on the north side of that block hunt for a dry goods box on which lay bundles of herbs. Then hunt the man in charge and buy three bundles for a quarter of sweet marjoram and thyme. Hang them up to dry, if there is time; if not, use half the quantity recommended. For a twelve-pound turkey grate the rind of a quarter of a lemon, grate half a full-size loaf of bread, chop one-third- as much beef suet, add a quarter of a teaspoon of grated nutmeg, two teaspoons of dry marjoram and thyme, three tablespoons of finely chopped parsley and, if the cook has them, a score of crushed Coriander seeds. A level teaspoon of ground black pepper and the same of salt. Pack lightly into the bird, preferably the night before cooking. Properly made this stuffing should a moist crumbly form, not a pasty mess, as in the case of most stuffing. Tarragon for tarragon vinegar and Bearraise sauce may also be obtained at the dry goods box. F. B.

Phone for Appointment THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature At this season we are apt to have designs on an evening coat. From Paris we are receiving the last word in fashion detail for the perfect outer garment for formal evening wear. Buyers appear to be slow to accept some of the new ideas presented to them: they profess to be interested in new details but when these are introduced they frequently turn to tested versions. Illustrating this trend, mushroom collars and puffed sleeves continue their dominance. Last winter we experienced the quaint sensation of going out in the evening, clad in a skimpy little sport coat of metal cloth. This season we go in for broader expanses, a more luxurious and fertile development of fabric. We are told to choose the richest possible fabrics in brilliant colors, cut them along simple lines and add an elaborate decorative treatment. The most important fabrics for this purpose are velvets and metal cloth, several shades of brilliant blue, all the wine shades, pontiff red, garnet, orchid, silver and gold. As to the form of these wraps there is a good deal of variation, whether the type chosen is cape or coat, but all must be luxuriously trimmed. Many smart women remain faithful to the straight unflared coat. Others, and let's hope they are the tall, thin ones—adopt the shoulder flare. Probably the largest number of formal coats now on display, have a flared skirt emphasized with fur. Capes are sometimes rather slim and straight, but more often quite full and of the wrap around type.

Today we received a new creation from the incomparable Renee who is exploiting velvet heavily encrusted with gold. This particular model is of steel lame, striknigly patterned with velvet applique. Cut on straight princess lines, this coat has an interesting collar of unusual line. It is so deep a shawl, of self material, that it resembles a short double cape. Blue fox fur borders finish its deep collar and cuffs. By way of introducing something distinctive, Bechoff is sponsoring the alliance of metal cloth with velvet, and does it with very striking results. For example—bands of silver cloth are alternated with bands of burn orange velvet, and the two fabric are connected by corded edges of high orange satin. In the large upstanding collar appliqued flowers of the same combination of the two tones of orange is preserved, and on each of these flowers we find the same corded edges. Another feature of the formal wrap is the diminution of the all-around fur border. Apparently the designers are a little bored with them. Lavishness expends itself upon decorative treatment. M. Poiret sponsors splendid Queen Anne ruffs, of self material, about the neck, shawl and question mark collars of sumptuous fur. 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.

We are giving the names of the books, grouped under the names of the firms that publish them. By doing this, it will be easier for you to make the bookseller know what books you desire. Do not throw this list away. Save it for reference. Use it in making your selection of gift books.

I am sending you a poem which I composed. I have enjoyed the poems that have appeared on this page. The little poem is called "The Star." I have been told God made all the stars, That twinkle up in the heaven. I now watch for the evening star, Which will twinkle presently. The birds and bees are silent, All living things are slumbering— In the hush of Nature's resting time, The faded West looks slumbering.

Fairy Tales AIRY TALES are essential in the right development of a child's mind. They embody the poetic fancy of the race.

All of her neighbors were invited except Hans and Gretchel. "Have you heard of the race?" one girl asked another girl whose name was Katrinka. "No. What race?" asked Katrinka. "Polly is giving a skating party and there is to be a skating race." Just then up came Hans and Gretchel. "What rags are those?" asked Katrinka. "Hush!" said the girl whose name was Hilda,"They are the best skaters around here." Hilda asked Hans and Gretchel whether they had heard of Polly's party. "No." said Hans.

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

CARS FOR EVERY OCCASION Hail a Red Cab Anywhere No Charges for Extra Passengers PAGE TWELVE The Pullman C sentation B In Ch TOTTEN BARRED FROM TAKING SEAT The Pullman Porters Beneficial Association (the company organization) held a convention last week in Chicago. The report of the sessions indicate that virtually the whole time was devoted to prepared praises of the company; and of its officials. The convention was held in the auditorium of the Wabash Ave, Y. M. C. A. and porters were present from every district in the country. A number of local business and professional men were present as guests. The session opened on Tuesday November 17. Officials Present Seated on the platform were many of the officials of the Pullman Company including E. F. Cary, president of the company; O. P. Powell, assistant general manager; C. W. Fager, superintendent of the mechanical department; J. P. Cary, general manager of the shops; Harry Gilbert, safety first man; J. K. Kelly, head of yards; S. C. Greene, F. L. Simmons, of the industrial relations department and a large number of district superintendents. President Carey delivered an address in which he praised the Porters for their loyalty. He especially commended Perry Parker the President of the P. P. B. A. and the cousin of Perry Howard, the recently engaged legal adviser. Mr. Parker also bears the title of chief investigator for the company. Mr. Parker then delivered his annual address. J. B. Newsome, who has spent 55 years in the service of the company was presented. Mr. Newsome told of the number of young men whom he had seen enter the employment of the company and later leave with degrees from some of the leading colleges and universities in America. "Many of these men who got their start as porters," said Mr. Newsome, "are now enjoying lucrative practices or are engaged in other forms of endeavor." The music for the occasion was furnished by the Pullman Porters' orchestra and by the quartette. Both of these aggregrations acquitted themselves with credit and the numbers were roundly applauded. Members of the quartette were O. --- OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS' AND DAUGHTERS' SUCCESS Schvlock TROP Bletson, J. Spencer, C. Harris and R. W. Ridley. Another feature of the program was a reading by R. D. Crowley, a delegate from Richmond, Virginia. Other officials and delegate also spoke. The outstanding feature of news consequence of the opening session was barring from participation of A. L. Totten, accredited representative with credentials from Local No. 5, who three weeks ago was dismissed from the company service for his activities in connection with the promotion of the Brotherhood of Porters. It is rumored that Mr. Totten who believes that he was deprived of his seat without sufficient cause, will institute legal action against the P. P. B. A. Statement of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters In its attempt to thwart the efforts of the Pullman porters to organize a union of their own and one free from the influence and control of the Pullman officials, the Pullman Company has become a degenerate a n its deseration has secured one Perry W. Howard of Mississippi to play the role of "King Canute" and try to stem the rising tide of organization among the 12,000 Pullman porters of the nation. The fact that the Pullman Company is now making such frantic efforts to drag a red herring across the trail of the men's legitimate desire to organize their own union by shouting Moscow! and Communist! is proof conclusive that they are unable to meet the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters on the only issues involved. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters holds that the Pullman Porters Benefit Association and the Employees Representation Plan is one and the same thing; that it is an organization of the Pullman Company, owned by the Company, controlled by the Company and used for the manifest purpose of hood-winking the Porters into believing that they do not need a union of, for and by themselves. As proof of this charge, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters submits for public perusal the following: 1. That the chief officer of the Company's Union is paid by the Pullman Company, and not by the Porters. 2. That the monies of the P.P.B.A which belong to the Porters, cannot be used without the consent of the Treasurer of the Pullman Company. 3. The Company's Union has THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 Board of seven directors, which is supposed to have the final say in all matters pertaining to the organization. These seven directors are not Pullman Porters, nor do they receive any pay from the P.P.B.A., their salaries are paid by the Pullman Company, because of which fact, they naturally function, in behalf of the Pullman Company and not in the interest of the Porters. 4. Since the organization of the Company's Union, the Company has never deemed it advisable to carry paid "ads" concerning the affairs of the P.P.B.A.; as a matter of fact, on innumerable occasions, whenever the duly elected representatives of the Porters have inquired as to the financial condition of the organization, the Attorney of the Pullman Company always maintained that, it was inadvisable to give such information, inasmuch as the information would then become public knowledge, to which the Company was opposed for fear of certain insurance iaws. However, since the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters became organized, the Pullman Company has seen fit to supply every worthwhile Negro newspaper—except the "Messenger Magazine," with the same information it so consistently denied the delegates. That the Pullman Company is aware of the fact that, the "Company's Union" cannot be successfully defended before an aroused and enlightened public opinion, is evidenced by the Company's sudden realization within the last week or so, that it has, in one instance at least been robbing the Porters of monies they justly earned. Bulletin Issued The following Bulletin issued by the Pullman Company, speaks for itself: “Porteres: “As a matter of information, I am advised that a checking of the New York District Porters' and Maids' time sheets covering the period from April 1, 1924 up to and including July 1, 1925, is being made and adjustment of pay will also be made in all cases where it is found that any porters or maids were not paid for doubles performed on their specified lay-overs or relief days in accordance with paragraph G, rule 1 of existing Agreement. “This question has been the subject of some dissatisfaction in the past, but I am glad to advise it has now been decided upon and rechecking is being made. Porters or Maids, who have double dand have not been paid for it between above dates covered by the Agreement, will hear from their cases in the near future.” The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters holds too, that the Pullman Company has grossly violated every one of the worthwhile agreements made with the Porters through the so-called Employee Representation Plan, while on the other hand the Pullman Porters have kept their side of the forced agreement, for instance. SUCCESS MEANS Y READY AND RELIABLE ELEGANT AND ASILY CALLED DRIVEN WITH DISCRETION CAPABLE AND OURTEOUS CHAUF FEURS ACCESSIBLE AND CCEPTABLE BEST PRICES FOR BEST SERVICE Part of Our Fleet of Funerals Seurlock the Pullman Company agreed with the Porters that "the rights of seniority was sound, and would be respected in all assignments providing the Porters assigned had fitness and ability." This agreement has been treated by the Company as only another scram of paper, for since the efforts of the men to organize their own union began, the Company has displaced veterans of the service on some of the choicest runs such as the Broadway Limited with untrained and inexperienced Filippinos. Another agreement between the Porters and the Company, which the latter has thrown by the board, in contained in Article 6, Section C, which says "There shall be no discrimination by the Company or by any of its employees on account of membership or non-membership in any fraternal society or union. The Porters' effort to organize their own union is not a violation of this agreement. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is not concerned with Communism or any other 'ism.' Our cry is for justice through a union of our own. All the other workers on the railroads of the country have and control their own organizations, why not the Pullman Porters? We do not want to believe that the Pullman Officials are taking the position that, because we are Negroes we are not men but children; we hesitate to come to such a conclusion though the evidence all points that way. We contend that through the Brotherhood, the morale and efficiency of the Porters will be increased; we hold too, that a continuation of the so-called Employee's Representation Plan will further undermine the spirit and destroy the efficiency of the Pullman porters. As to the role being played by "Pat's Perry" in this great struggle of the Pullman Porters, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters considers it beneath a pride and dignity to pay more than a passing glance to the juvenile babble of this little Negro from the muds of Mississippi. The aroused manhood of the Negro Race will deal with such hat-in-hand, me-too-boss Negroes and they will reap their just reward. We are almost over the top and nothing now can stop the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters from writing the Emancipation Proclamation of the Pullman Porters of the United States. PORTERS CONDEMN UNION; AWAIT ORGANIZER Richmond, Va., Nov. 25 (By the Associated Negro Press) Fully nineteenth of the Pullman Porters coming into this city condemn the action of Perry Howard in the position that he is taking in trying to discourage and dispel from the minds of the porters the good of the Union. There had been some talk here that most of the porters are not in favor of the union because they could not see what good it could do; but upon interviewing some of them it was found that all but a a few of the older men—old in years —feared the outcome of a union. While none were willing to talk for publication all were of the opinion that as soon as the "organizer" has gone the rounds and hit upon the principal cities, where Pullman porters gather in large numbers; and the thing is squarely put to them and local branches established in some cities, they are of the belief that when this is done every porter who has a grain of sense will be in line and the union will accomplish great good for the porters.It can not be too often repeated, that: "in union there is strength."

A BIG UNDERTAKING The Counsel Review is about to launch one of the biggest and most worthy undertakings that a colored Washington population could conceive. It knows as does everyone in our town that Washington is filled with some of the very best and most canable talent in the entire country. Within the colored portion of the population there are singers of rare ability, dramatic and comic readers of the first water, dancers to be compared with the best, both male and female, and numerous others of varied talent. The Counsel Review has conceived the idea that it would be a great thing to try and bring together this talent and to offer and give free of cost to them instructions and practice in their favorite field. To this we are herein publicly inviting all talent, whether professional or amateur to write the office of the Counsel Review expressing the desire, if there be any, to identify with the undertaking. The dramatic work will be under the personal direction of Mr. T. A. Heathman, well known to all Washington audiences. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham equally well known, will have charge of the choral work. There is no fee attached and all are welcome. Send in your applications at once so that arrangements for beginning the work at once may be made. Yours for success, THE COUNCIL REVIEW, 808 C Street, Southeast. Caught Napping First Doctor—"Tell me, Doc, have you ever made a serious mistake in diagnosis?" Second Doctor—"Yes, once.

UPPER-GRADE MORONS AS MENIALS Speaking to the fifth annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women at the Willard Hotel last week, the Rev. Dr. Thomas V. Moore, professor of psychology at the Catholic University, told the delegates that upper-grade marrons are needed in modern society. An upper-grade moron, he explained, is an adult person with the intelligence of a child from ten to twelve years of age. He is quoted as saying: "Somebody has to do the menial tasks. Suppose the world were made up entirely of geniuses—of Shakespeares and Michael Angelos. Who would dig the ditches and carry the hods and wash the dishes?" It is rather surprising that the Rev. Dr. Moore, a man with two degrees, has not seen some of the things inventive geniuses have given us. We have ditch-digging, hod-carrying and dish-washing machines operated by men quite capable of delivering a speech with as much thought in it as the foregoing quotation. His argument reminds us of the old slave holders' propaganda—"How could we raise the cotton to keep the New England and Old England mills supplied, and clothes the world if there were no Negro slaves?" White men can not 'stand' to work in the fields and Negroes would not do so unless compelled. Indeed, 'niggers won't work at all, not even to support themselves, if allowed freedom." Yet in 1870, under five years of freedom, the cotton crop of the South had increased to twice its volume in 1860 under slavery; and has continued to rise, along with the output of all other industries in the South. It is not "upper-grade morrons" that society needs; it is more masterminds—the more, the better. If this is the psychology he is teaching at the Catholic University, we are glad that we got ours elsewhere. We would commend to him a study of any good dictionary that he might learn what menial work is. By so doing, he will learn that menial work is that which is done by servants; and that servants are those who do the low, mean or trivial jobs—for example, the work of a valet, or lady's maid, or even washing dishes for someone who could and ought to wash them. Digging ditches and carrying hods, though low,paid, are as necessary tasks as driving locomotives and cranes, or doing the "dirty" jobs connected with caring for babies or the sick.

Digging ditches and carrying hods, though low,paid, are as necessary tasks as driving locomotives and cranes, or doing the "dirty" jobs connected with caring for babies or the sick. Menial work is unnecessary work, if "work" it may be called. If the work—or perhaps "performance" would be a more fitting word—is unnecessary and at the same time trivial, we do not need any persons, morons or others, to do it. Professor Moore may not know it, but the intelligent workers are wide awake to the fact that servants—the real menials—are just as heavy a load for the useful workers to carry as are the idle rich whom they usually "serve." Surely if the teaching of that sort of psychology is needed at all, men of the Moore type are just the ones to do it. Here (at least where Moore is employed, if he is giving satisfaction), is a fitting job for an "upper-grade" moron—that is, if he actually thinks as he talks. MONUMENTS TO OUR SOLDIERS In a recent speech delivered here before the National Memorial Association, Representative Hamilton Fish of New York, a former major of the "Fighting Fifteenth," New York National Guard, paid a tribute to the Negro soldiers, "who paid the supreme sacrifice" in the World War. He said in part: In a recent speech delivered here before the National Memorial Association, Representative Hamilton Fish of New York, a former major of the "Fighting Fifteenth," New York National Guard, paid a tribute to the Negro soldiers, "who paid the supreme sacrifice" in the World War. He said in part: "If the United States is to erect thirty divisional monuments to white troops, many of which did not have half the casualties of the four colored American regiments that served with the French, I consider it unwarranted discrimination against these regiments not to erect a similar monument in their honor." We appreciate the interest manifested by Representative Fish. We hope to convince him that it is "unwarranted discrimination" to erect monuments to either white or Negro soldiers. In the World War, as in all this country's wars, white, black and naturalized foreigners have "paid the supreme sacrifice" or have been subjected to the risk of it for the safety of the United States of America. These soldiers of all these classes have offered their all and have given it without thought of discriminatory honor. They have given it for a common cause—to make America safe for democracy. When the rights and safety of our great Republic have been threatened, we have not called upon the white, nor the Negro, nor the naturalized citizens to come to its rescue; but upon our citizens generally who in turn be We appreciate the interest manifested by Representative Fish.

There has been nothing discriminatory in our objective. Why should there be no meeting out the honors? We are that Representative Fish and his colleagues may see the "unwarranted discrimination" evidenced in the proposed monuments and that they may use their influence to remove it. Instead of erecting monuments to certain regiments or troops, let us erect them to OUR SOLDIERS living all races and nationalities which participated their deserving honor. Fine exam- ples of this may be seen in the Mortar Practice group, on the Military Monument, Cleveland, Ohio; the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch, Brooklyn, New York; and the Attucks Monument, Boston, Massachusetts. Real patriotism may be fostered and perpetuated not by monuments to Negroes, Jews nor Gentiles; but by monuments to the MEN AND WOMEN, irrespective of race, color or creed, who paid, or offered to pay, "the supreme sacrifice." LIBERIA VERSUS IMPERIALISM Liberia is a country for which all the great nations have competed since its natural resources became known. "Liberia began," says DuBois, editor of the Crisis, in the November 18th, issue of the New Republic, "as neither country, colony or protectorate. She had to declare her independence because at that time nobody wanted her." But as soon as it was found that it has "the richest territory on the west coast—well-watered, with fine forests, mountain, plateau and plain; with harbors and rivers . . . an extraordinary series of events ensued." England, France, Germany and America began maneuvering for possession, each for itself. For they do not think it wise for them to, "let a small country like Liberia which can furnish large quantities or palm oil, rubber, coffee, sugar, piassava and a dozen other world commodities, develop simply and slowly. They demand the production of these products quickly and cheaply and they assert the right to interfere if the products are not forthcoming." Just how possession of this rich country was to be obtained remained a problem until the wealthy Firestone Rubber Company and its bankers concluded a deal with the Liberian government. A loop-hole through which imperialism may enter has been made. A strong, local organization which will yield decent and increasing wages to laborers, and a satisfactory scope and revenue to the Liberian government may be effected. But, "if the Firestone Plantations Company wishes," continues DuBois, "it can repeat in Liberia all the hell that white imperialism has perpetrated heretofore in Africa and Asia. There is only one power that can in the slightest degree curb this and that is the black American with his vote." SHOP EARLY: MAIL EARLY Local merchants appeal to you to do your shopping early so that the clerks who serve you may be in better condition, physically and mentally, to enjoy the pleasures of the day set aside to commemorate the birth of the Man who went around doing good. Postmaster General New appeals to you, equally as strongly, to mail early so that your letters and gifts may have the desired effect upon the recipients; and so that employees of the Department of the Post Office may, too, enjoy the pleasures of the season. There will be no delivery of mail—except "specials"—on Christmas Day because Mr. New has planned to give postal employees a well-cared day of rest. Fall in line. Shop Early. Mail Early. FOOTBALL With today's games, the football season comes to a close. A few more post-season games will be played, but the curtain fell on the big season on Thanksgiving Day and the Saturday following. It is a great game. In fact, to us, college football is the finest of all games. And we shall amuse ourselves, for the next few days, trying to decide who are the stars of the season, which is the better team, Howard or Lincoln, and why, and what ought to be done to the rules.

And we shall amuse ourselves, for the next few days, trying to decide who are the stars of the season, which is the better team, Howard or Lincoln, and why, and what ought to be done to the rules. This last suggestion is not of much interest to the layman, but to the ex-player, ex-referee and ex-coach, it is of great moment. The forward pass, to say the least, has caused fundamental changes in the game and has introduced a greater element of chance. It has served to distinguish individuals rather than teams, but it has not eliminated those serious, even some times fatal, accidents which are unfortunate features of the game. The wisdom of its retention will, we hope, be thrashed out by the old devotees; and, if the forward pass does not pass, we hope that it will be restricted to that of the lateral type. We shall then see improved kicking, improved tackling and plays run off with greater speed. A country as prosperous, as powerful and as free from internal vexations as the land President Coolidge described, Thursday of last week, can obviously act with courage and vigor in aiding less fortunate peoples. But his summary of what we have done is not very impressive. We have made private loans to hard-pressed countries at extremely good rates of interest. We have taken steps to collect our debts, which he regards as a contribution to stabilization. Incidentally, we have broken off negotiations with the country which owes us the second largest debt because we asked $3,000,000,000 more than she thought her stability could bear. We have hesitated for three years to enter the World Court, which he urges with the remark that it involves very few obligations. Where, we ask, is he leading us? The latest inheritance tax decision of the Ways and Means Committee is a remarkable acknowledgement of the fallaciousness of the policy that Chairman Green and Mr. Garner pursued in raising Federal inheritance taxes two years ago, a candid, but courageous apology for an error which means refunding millions of dollars from the Treasury. Big business, through its politicians, usually gets what it wants. A certain Armstrong teacher, with a horse-shoe in his hand, was seen running up and down the sideline, during the Dunbar-Armstrong football game last Monday. The horse-shoe evidently proved to be a black cat for Armstrong—twentieth century superstition, and indulged in by a teacher, too. Stock speculators tell us, "things are going up." Newton proved that everything which goes up must come down. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 My People and Other Folks BY J. A. JACKSON The Y. M. C. A. is a fine democratic institution. Thirty-five years ago the writer was taken under its benevolent wing and given a juvenile membership card in a small town where Negroes were few. Consecutively he has held cards since then in Harrisburg, Pa., Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Chicago; and visited the structures of the organization in many other towns as travel provided the opportunity. Since 1910 he has been getting acquainted with the COLORED phase of its work. He has made contributions in New York, Atlanta, Baltimore and has visited the COLORED "Y" in several other cities. No longer are we welcome at those not labelled "Colored Branch," and boys who went over seas report that the same was true in France when they tried to obtain service as they passed to and from the front lines. Slowly we have become accustomed to a restricted membership in what is supposedly a universal institution. We thought we had become inured to its devious and various forms of segregation; but there were forms which we in our simply-thinking way had not even thought could be since there was no real need, until we, in our editorial capacity, received a press release from the Y. M. C. A. Bureau of Information, National Council, 347 Madison Ave., New York City, labelled "FOR THE COLORED PRESS." It would perhaps have been an awful catastrophe, a sort of social equality, for the white editors to have learned of the need of missionary work in Africa which happened to be the subject of the particular release. We fight against segregation, yet our BIG MEN hold office and work earnestly in erecting and enlarging segregated organizations "in the name of the Lord and humanity." Why kick on the small samples and support the larger exhibits of the segregation policy? My, how we enjoy the sight of a report of our doings in the White papers. The pleasure is so great that the parents of our school children are obliged to wait until Sunday to learn of the happenings that occur in public school circles from the downtown papers. The presumption being, I guess, that they are entirely too busy earning the money for which they are taxed to support our excellent educational system to find time to read during the week. Otherwise, the authorities in charge of the Colored schools would place the news before them in the NEGRO papers that go to press in mid-week. Wonder, if that is the only reason for saving Tuesday and Wednesday news matter until Sunday for publication. Wonder why Howard Theatre ushers persistently take all late comers down the centre aisle and have them stumble over from two to ten people to get to seats in the middle of a row that could be reached from the side aisles without disturbing anyone. Every once in a while some white author breaks into print with the publication of an intelligent work that is unhampered by prejudice, with a story or treatise that contains conclusions arrived at by logic rather than by way of the writer's desires. John Langdon Davies has just presented the reading world with such a book in his "New Age of Faith" from the Viking Press. In this volume he declares that Messrs. Stoddard, Wiggam, Grant and others who are fearful for NORDIC SUPREMACY are all wrong. He says that there are no such things as "races," Nordie or otherwise. Eugenics "is a pipe dream," says he, or words to that effect. He declares the human race to be already too mongrelized for any sort of control of heredity, and he insists that under the skin we are as alike as peas in a pod. The offspring of a chance amour, says he, is as likely to be a superman, as is the product of the most selective mating. Of course the volume is filled with deep scientific material and its conclusions are supported by voluminous statistics that disclose some facts quite at variance with many that have been accepted as fixed premises heretofore. He is a pleasant type of literary iconoclast—to us, anyhow. Wish there were more such folks. The business invasion of the Northwest follows the flag of the housing "invaders." Joseph Murray has opened the "farthest west" newsstand on U Street. His place at 1709 on the big business thoroughfare is well equipped and he has closed contracts which enable him to handle a complete line of papers, magazines and journals of every sort. Of course, he has the Tribune. That's his leader. Mr. Murray recently resigned from the Interior Department and is sorry that the step was not taken years ago, now that he has tasted the joys of merchandising and of independence. He has a complete line of cigars, cigarettes and other novelties; and is assisted by a rather charming clerk of the "High Y" type. Don't rush, sheiks, you can't take his clerk, for she is the real owner. It is Mrs. Ethel Murray, Joe's wife. For the sake of our fellow journalists who do not try to get their news at first hand, may it be stated that the job of frightening the porters is a private venture on Mr. Howard's part, and not a government function as they have led their readers to believe. Prof. Kelly Miller when interviewed upon the subject of the recent presidential conference with a group of Negroes stated that, as T. T. Fortune said of President McKinley once, "Our executive makes a mighty fine president for the white folks." Nevertheless he predicted that some day, some President, would appoint some Negro to some office but he asked that the latter be kept strictly confidential for the present as he did not care to be quoted on so important a matter, in such a definite way. TO THE OWNER SALES-PERSON OF A SMALL BUSINESS By C. Leslie Frazier In 1917 the writer opened a shop in Baltimore. Not having any experience in business matters, he naturally made inquiries to ascertain the most important things to study relative to the making of good business. He was surprised at the number of things that were so essential to the making of a successful, profitable business. The things he had in mind to learn were but a few of the things that he found would be necessary for him to learn if he really meant to attain success. Already knowing that salesmanship entailed more than merely standing behind a counter—later discovering that there were many more important things of which he had never dreamed—he wonders while writing this; what have the average young men and women in their minds when they think that salesmanship ("clerking" as they call it) is but an easy eight-hour a day staring, out of the window, or standing behind a counter "position." The average man and women who enters business on small capital have the same "easy position" idea in their heads. Salesmanship entails more than that if it is to be carried to a successful climax. It requires hard work and study. The most important thing to study in any business is the expense. If you know your expenses you can price properly and profitably. Here the writer gives a list of expense items. Many of the items in this list are overlooked in small business. Any system you use will fail to be of material benefit to you if you do not realize that every penny spent out of your business will slowly but surely sum up on your loss sheet. We will classify these expense items under the headings of selling, operation, and overhead, and they should be of particular interest to owner sales-persons. 1. Education of new sales-persons should be charged as an expense until efficient. 2. Figure number of new orders, and charge as an expense the cost of securing same. 3. Returned goods should bear a charge of rehandling. **Operation** 1. The donations you make should be charged as advertising. (Advertisements bring new friends; donations are given to make friends.) 2. If you deliver goods, find cost of each delivery; charge as extra expense. (National stores do not deliver, hence a big expense is saved.) 3. Owner's labor, sales-person's hire should be charged as expense. 4. Bad accounts should be figured yearly. Charge as expense, and improve credit system. (Don't retain friendship with bad payers. Sooner or later they become personal enemies.) 5. Loss by bad pay and thefts should be charged to the cost of merchandise. Overhead 1. Rent of building (if owned by merchant), light, water, fuel, janitor service, insurance, should be figured and charged as expense. 2. Interest on investment should be figured at current rates and charged to capital account. 3. Figure depreciation on all goods carried over, for which you have had to take a reduced price because of wear in handling. 4. Take maximum discount allowed on sales, and credit to discount account. Business authorities assert that if any item listed here is overlooked, your net profit is cut that much. You pay the difference. You must make your selling price to cover all of your running expenses before you can get sound profits and be sure of pricing your goods properly. The owner sales-person should remember that he should figure as labor his own services, or those of any of his family employed in the business, at the worth of this service to others. Charge your expense account, with these services, whether they are paid in actual cash or not. LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT WIN NER OF PRODUCTION PRIZE Wm. Stevens, a local representative of the Supreme Life and Casually company, a Columbus, Ohio, concern doing a nearly national business, was the winner of a ten dollar prize offered to the agent producing the largest volume of new business for the month of October. The company has nearly a hundred agents, and Mr. Stevens is justly proud of having brought the distinction to the District of Columbia. Mr. Stevens recently contributed an interesting article in this column. PEDESTRIAN GEOMETRY A pedestrian is the sum of his remaining parts. Traffic is a variable which is constantly the limit. A pedestrian running at right-angles to a motor car is parallel to the street at the point of intersection. To describe a parabola. Dash into traffic with your eyes shut. A motor car tangent to a pedestrian is a daily spectacle. Problem in computation: The distance from curb to curb is 64 feet. How long would it take a six-foot pedestrian to make up his mind to risk his life? —Adapted from "Judge" MUSIC FORUM BY WELLINGTON ADAMS GARNET C. WILKINSON AND THE MUSIC FESTIVAL The Washington, May Music Festival committee commands our undivided interest just now. Significant developments now in the making, recently presages events of more than passing interest, the colored members of the Executive committee meantime are marking time awaiting the next move. This much is evident: the color question has caused no end of concern and speculation among members of the committee and citizens of both races since Mrs. Andrews introduced the subject in a committee meeting and the Washington Post and Colored American Daily gave added publicity to the incident. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham however, delivered a burning message against any segregation whatsoever in answer to the remarks of Mrs. Andrews and turned the meeting into a bedlam almost, so straight from the shoulder it struck with telling power. They could scarcely forget Mrs. Pelham. I don't see how they could, in fact, I know they won't. The writer, also a member, was present and witnessed all the proceedings. Following this "thunderbolt" in the first executive meeting, which was held in the Board Room of the District Building, a private conference was called to meet in the office of the Commissioner including the President of the Board of Commissioners, W. S. Corby, president of the Music Festival Association; Oliver Owen Kohn of the Evening Star newspaper; Garnet C. Wilkerson, first assistant superintendent of colored public schools; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham and Wellington A. Adams of the executive committee. A frank discussion was inevitable and the color segregation question bobbed up in all its multitudinous phases as was to be expected in such a conference called to settle the question but fell far short of it. The manly and womanly stand of Prof. Wilkinson and Mrs. Pelham was heroic. They never once wavered in the face of a bold suggestion that we accept the proposition for the colored citizens to share jim-erow privileges in the auditorium with white citizens, or that we conduct a separate race musical program under the auspices of the Festival Association. Any such suggestions were readily and most emphatically refused by the colored group but particularly do we mention Prof. Wilkinson as spokesman for our group and the race at large. Mr. Wilkinson delivered the most logical and philosophical argument against segregation we ever have heard fall from the lips of any man, white or black. Convincing, undeniable, comprehensive in its scope, chaste in language fit for a king, Garnet Wilkinson stood out as a colossal figure whose mentality dwarfed that of his hearers. In this man the race has as loyal a defender as ever boasted racial integrity. In him there is no compromise whatever but courageous and determined qualities that mark him as a dependable race leader, one who may be trusted in the darkest hour of the day. And to Mrs. Pelham we fing this inscribed scroll "Go forward thou champion of your downrodden race with thy flaming sword of justice shining in the sun of righteous duty well done. Victory will rest on thy brow ere the day's work is done." The colored members of the Music Festival Association shall accept equality in representation as any other group of citizens but absolutely and unequivocally stand out against segregation in any form. A Woman's Point of View Bv NANNIE H. BURROUGHS DOCTOR WALTER H. BROOKS All Washington joined the 19th Street Baptist Church in expressing sincere appreciation of Doctor Walter H. Brooks' 43 years of devoted and successful pastorate. The church is 68 years old, out of debt, and giving generously to missions, Christian education and charity. A well-arranged and admirably executed program, covering the week of November 8, was directed by Doctor David A. Lane, assisted by a large committee representing every organization in the church. Distinguished citizens and churchmen vied with each other in lauding the leadership of Doctor Brooks and singing the praises of a man of God who has led the church to a high place among the Christian forces of the world. Doctor Brooks richly deserves all that was said of him and done for him on his anniversary occasion. A thousand dollars in gold, and millions of words of praise, are nothing compared with a life of unselfish, exemplary and successful service. Nineteenth Street Church has a larger number of well-educated, well-situated members than any Negro church in the world. Many of the congregation have risen from poverty and obscurity to great prominence and influence during Doctor Brooks' ministry. Press dispatches from the cotton-producing States indicate that the mule and wagon as means of transporting cotton to the gins are likely to be supplanted by the motor truck. With improved roads, it is claimed that the farmer that relies on the mule and wagon will labor under disadvantages. One grower in Louisiana, made six trips to a gin in one day by motor truck, where using a mule and wagon be could have made but NATIONAL NEWS COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Columbus Branch wishes to announce that on Tuesday evening, December 15, Chamber of Commerce, a joint recital will be given by two outstanding artists: Mme Lucretia Lawson Mitchell, dramatic soprano, and Harrison Ferrell, violinist. Mme Mitchell has studied extensively both in this country and abroad. Mr. Ferrell has also traveled and studied extensively and is recognized as a violinist of high attainments. Since its organization five years ago, the Columbus Branch has endeavored to maintain its high standard in presenting only the best artists and through community musicals and various programmes to arouse within the public a deeper appreciation for the better class of music. Mayne G. Artis, president. RICHMOND, Va.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Madam Anita Patti Brown, the famous prima donna of Chicago, appeared here in recital last Friday night under the auspices of the Mucus Lyceum Bureau of the Virginia Union University, at the University chapel. Madam Brown, who was in excellent voice, was at her best and literally sung her way into the hearts of the great gathering that turned out to hear her. Madam Brown is very adept at what is known among singers as "creating atmosphere" for with her very first number did she capture the audience and they were with her throughout the entire program which was so well rendered that the audience became so enthusiastic that when even the last number was sung they clung lazily to their seats and clamored for more. The singing of the foreign group of songs was especially well done, particularly the German songs. Madam Brown right royally sustained the reputation of being one of the leading singers of the Race. JOHNSON IN FINE RECEAL AT STATE COLLEGE Orangeburg, S.C., Nov. 25—(By the Associated Negro Press) Friday evening, Thomas Johnson, Tenor, assisted by Byron Witers, accompanist, in an evening of song, pleased a large audience at State College. The program, arranged to give his hearers a variety of numbers, consisted of Arias from "Elijah," Joceyln, "Lakme," and others, spirituals arranged by Burleigh and several love songs. His mastery of the arias, rendered in Spanish and French, were enthusiastically received. Mr. Johnson, trained in the New England Conservatory of Music, gave an entertainment long to be remembered here. Mr. Witers gave the audience a sample of his originality when "Steal Away" of his own arrangement was sung by Mr. Johnson. It is significant to note that Theodore F. Presser, one of the country's leading music publishers, attended, very shortly before his death, a musical held in Witerspoon Hall, where Wilnette Kealing Jackson rendered several selections. With the late Mr. Presser was the celebrated English musician, James Frances Cooke, who paid glowing tributes to Negro musicians and vocalists, speaking in the warmest terms of Roland Hayes, and speaking of his pleasant associations with Coleridge Taylor, Harry T. Burleigh, Gerard Miller, and the famous Black Patti. Mr. Cooke emphasized that the success of the Negro had been wonderful, despite the many barriers he had to break down. and encouragement to them. He has given his great talents and life to the church—undivided and unstintingly. He is still poor in this world's goods, but he is a multi-millionaire in influence. No preacher in the world stands higher in the esteem of the Christian people of the world than does Walter H. Brooks. The great banquet managed by Mr. Joseph Washington on Friday night, November 13, was a happy climax-to a perfect anniversary. As the brilliant speaker, Miss Emma B. Hall, the church clerk, said, "We have said it in words, we have said it with flowers, and now we say it in gold: God bless you, Doctor Brooks," she voiced the sentiment of the church and the great audience that came to its feet and applauded to the echo. It was a great occasion. Doctor Brooks' response was so touching and genuine that it brought tears to many eyes. This Prince of Preachers is 74 years young. Doctor Brooks could get another church, but 19th Street Church will never get another Walter H. Brooks. Seven years more, and he will have served 50 years. He will then be sent on a trip around the world as a public expression of our appreciation of his great life and service. A preacher, prophet, prince—he lives the gospel which he preaches with increasing power and eloquence as the years go by. one. The gradual passing of the mule, and the introduction of modern farm machinery equipment suggest that the South is awakening to the necessity of using more efficient methods in handling its principal crop in which the entire world is interested because of its general use in one form or another in every home. It appears that motor trucks and Mexican cotton pickers earning $50 per week are likely to bring about a great change in the production and marketing of this important crop. Masonic Musings The Committee on Ways and Means of Mecca Temple No. 10, A. E. O. N. M. S., which has charge of the arrangements of the Mystic Shrine in their "On to Boston, August, 1926" campaign, will stage their first affair looking towards this end on Friday, December 4, 1925, at the Lincoln Colonnade on "You' Street, near 13th. This affair will take the form of a reception and dance with the Blue Bird Orchestra furnishing the music, and the cards reading "from 8 p. m. to 2 a. m.". The personnel of the committee, which has charge of this important task of raising funds to carry a Shrine band and completely outfitted Patrol to Boston, is as follows: William Pannell, chairman; Adam Taylor, John Pye, Walter T. Dixon, Joseph H. Hankerson, R. K. Washington, Robert C. Hagans, F. M. Smith, A. J. Diggs, Frank D. McKinney, Oscar L. Deane, C. G. Carter, Dr. J. M. Fraction, Philip A. Tolson, Jr. and Bert McCoY. Charles Datcher Lodge No. 15 will hold its annual Charity Ball at the Murray Palace Casino, on Monday night, November 23rd, when quite a large autouring of the Craft is expected, judging from the advance sale of tickets, and the usual interest which attaches itself to Datcher's receptions. The round of visitations of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge continues to be the order of the day, with visits being made to Widow's Son Lodge No. 7 and James H. Hill Lodge No. 16. The night of the visit to Widow's Son Lodge proved to be very inclement, the weatherman producing a veritable downpour of rain, accompanied by a fierce gale, and the attendance was comparatively small. However, Worshipful Master Harry Lancaster, received the Grand Officers cordially, and the business of the meeting was handled with neatness and despatch. Senior Warden William M. Jumper added his welcome to that of the master's and Junior Warden Jerry Harper also followed with some timely remarks. On the following night, James H. Hill Lodge No. 16 turned out quite a large number to greet the distinguished guests, and Worshipful Master George W. King made a nice speech of welcome, being followed by Senior Warden Henry Cross and Junior Warden James H. Hill. After the necessary business, was finished, several Past Masters were called on for remarks and they spoke very pointedly on the present situation. After each of the Grand Lodge Officers had exchanged greetings with the brethren of this lodge, refreshments were served, and the meeting closed. Charles Datcher Lodge No. 15, F. A. A. M., received the Grand Master and his Cabinet of officers of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge on the occasion of their annual visitation with much pomp and ceremony. They presented a specially prepared program with Past Master Arthur R. Brown as master of ceremonies, and the program opened with the singing of "My County, 'Tis of Thee," followed by the address of welcome by Worshipful Master Alex. Huffman, Senior Warden Walter J. Brooker followed, and spoke at length on the aims and accomplishments of Charles Datcher Lodge and his speech was well received. Presentations of beautiful bouquets of flowers were made to the Grand Officers, the recipients being Grand Master Charles P. Ford, Senior Grand Warden Joseph E. Minor, Junior Grand Warden Frank D. McKinney, Acting Grand Secretary Charles D. Freeman, Grand Treasurer William H. Jackson, Grand Senior Deacon Edward F. Gant, and Assistant Grand Marshall Louis Roy. The presentations were made by the officers of the lodge, and a special tribute of a handsome umbrella was made to the Grand Master by Past Master Henry H. Banks, in a speech full of pathos and emotion, punctuated by an impressive prayer for the welfare of the Order, delivered by the Chaplain. After several speeches of gratitude and appreciation from the officers of BUNDY'S FUNERAL HOME The price of a Complete Funeral is a matter of your choice. My prices make it expensive to go elsewhere when you need an undertaker. Funeral Director 649 Florida Avenue, N.W.

The choral singing of the membership of this lodge called forth expressions of praise from the entire assemblage, and everyone present agreed that this visit represented the highest point in the series of visitations. The next visit was made to Doric Lodge No. 19, the "baby" lodge of the jurisdiction, and again the Grand Officers were received with much cordiality and warmth of welcome. Worshipful Master Emmitt Walker made a fine speech of welcome, followed by Senior Warden John W. Charleston and Junior Warden George Smallwood. Past Masters Thomas Frazier, James H. Wilkins, Philip Grey, C. C. James, Madison M. McClamm, and Frederick W. Allston, the Secretary, made timely and interesting remarks, and the entire Grand Cabinet responded in happy felicitations. Mecca Temple No. 10, A. E. A. O. N. M. S., has announced, its first affair of the season in the form of a reception and dance to be held at the Lincoln Colonade, Friday, December 4, 1925, from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., with the Blue Bird Orchestra furnishing the melodies. This affair is the first of a series of receptions sponsored by the Ways and Means Committee of the Shriners in order to raise funds to take a fully equipped Arab Patrol and a Shrine Band to Boston for the Convention in August, 1928. The Ways and Means Committee consists of William M. Pannell, chairman, Adam Taylor, John Pye, Walter D.ixon, Joseph H. Hankerson, R. K. Washington, Robert C. Hagans, M. S. Smith, A. J. Diggs, Frank D. McKinney, Oscar L. Deane, C. G. Carter, Dr J. M. Fraction, Philip A. Tolson, and Bart McCoy, and they are working, very hard to make it a howling success. Oasis Court No. 2, Daughters of Isis, the auxiliary, composed of the wives, widows, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the Shriners, are working to make this affair a success, and, at the same time, they are sponsoring a "Night in Egypt" to be given on Monday night, November 30th, and which will be featured by Egyptian dancers in native costumes by talent secured from several sister jurisdictions. Each of these affairs are eminently worth while, and, judging from the publicity given them and the advance sale of tickets, bid fair to have the whole-hearted support of the entire Masonic fraternity. Jonathan Davis Consistory No. 1, A. A. S. R., held an interesting meeting on Monday night, November 23, as the wind up of its years work. An excellent report was made of the work accomplished during the year, including the culmination of the entertainment of the session of the Supreme Council held here in October, and it was well received by the gathering of Illustrious Peers and Sublime Princes. The retiring Commander-in-Chief, Ill. Cicero A. Lee, then read his farewell address and it was indeed a gem of Masonic literature, and was voted a part of the permanent record. The election of officers for the ensuing year followed, and resulted in the election of Ill. Henry A. Brown. Commander-in-Chief, Ill. Benjamin F. Arrington, 1st Lieut. Commander, Henry P. Briscoe, 2nd Lieut. Commander, Jesse Brown, Grand Minister of State, Ill. N. D. Johnson, Grand Chancellor, Ill. Cicero A. Lee, Keeper of Seals and Archives, and Ill. Arthur R. Brown, treasurer. GITLOW IN PRISON; GOVERNOR AWAY The absence of Governor Smith from New York State prevents consideration of the pardon application made in behalf of Benjamin Gitlow, now in Sing Sing prison where he went on November 9 to serve the remainder of a 5 to 10 year sentence for violation of the criminal anarchy act. Governor Smith is taking a vacation in Atlantic City following the recent strenuous campaign. He is expected to act on the Gitlow pardon upon his return to Albany, November 24.

It is interesting to note that all the new sciences do not always appear scientific. A national conference on the science of politics would be a shade more convincing if we were quite sure of such a thing. Dr. Charles A. Beard's announcement that "the time has come for reuniting economics, politics, ethics and sociology in an effort to construct provisional working hypotheses to approach the problem of social control," would be be more thrilling were it not quite so romantic. Confronted with the practical data supplied by a single meeting of the Board of Estimate, the scientists seem "a little bewildered"; but they still fling themselves upon the weighted average and the index number with a gallant confidence in the omnipotence of the experimental method.

It is quite different from those beautiful constructions with which the classic political philosophers have sought to explain political society, but it is no less idealistic. The a priori conclusions of Mill and Spencer have faded before the demand for quantitative analysis, and the hope that we may still save ourselves by thinking has fortified itself behind a whole series of new "ologies" and a passionate belief in the value of statistics. If only there were enough of them! It is the overwhelming difficulty; and when we are confronted with a joyous flow of that kind of political science which the democratic party understands so well, the professorial hope for a new "social control" based on figures seems a little faint.

The two Dunbar touchdowns came in the first half. Capt. Raymond Burton of Dunbar ran the ball back 65 yards from the kick off. A 15-yard pass, Buck West to Red Fowler, put the ball on the Armstrong 5-yard line. Dunbar was held for downs. Tech kicked. Burton returned the ball to the 5-yard line. Dunbar received a 20-yard penalty. Nappie George made a 25-yard end-run for the first touchdown. Burton kicked the extra point. In the second quarter the second Dunbar touchdown came when Red Fowler threw a 20-yard pass to Burton across the Armstrong goal line. Burton missed the try for the extra point. The second half was featured by a 25-yard run by Red Nixon, Armstrong fullback. Armstrong showed renewed courage, but was unable to score. The line-up: Dunbar(13) Armstrong(0) Fowler . L.E.

Traditional RivalsMet On the Gridiron on Thanksgiving Traditional rivals clashed on the gridiron on Thanksgiving Day in all sections of the country. In the East, the most important game was the Howard-Lincoln battle at Shibe Park, Philadelphia. From the viewpoint of football alone—that is, as a meeting of two super teams—it was perhaps surpassed by the Wilberforce-West Virginia contest at Columbus, Ohio, or the Talladega-Tuskegee game in the far South. But in the colorful crowd, setting and social events in connection with it, it was the greatest event of the season. The Hampton-Virginia game at Richmond, Va., was of interest because it decided the championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Association, of which Howard and Lincoln were former members. The Virginia Normal and St. Paul game at Lawrenceville, Va., was simply one of those contests played annually between schools having developed an intense rivalry. It decided nothing, as both teams had previously beaten. In the West, the Wilberforce-West Virginia game was the big Thanksgiving Day offering. It was pitched on a scale similar to the Howard-Lincoln game but not quite as extensive. It has come to be the big Turkey-day sporting event of the mid-West. Tuskegee has been the big noise in Southern football this year and consequently football fans the nation over were watching the results of their clash with Talladega. Football experts are inclined to pick the Booker Washington aggregation as the best team of colored schools. Lesser southern games were the Morehouse-Fisk game at Nashville, Tenn., and the Morris Brown-Atlanta game at Atlanta, Ga. In the Southwest the big contest was the Bishop and Wiley Game at Marshal, Tex. These games are annual events and their importance is due principally to the friendly rivalry between the schools and the traditions that have grown up concerning these contests. For most of the schools the outcome of the Thanksgiving Day game determined the success of the season. A Wise Virgin By Solomon's Twin Sister "Where are you going, my pretty maid?"

Similar unexpected moves, gave the fans thrill after thrill, and the Tigers their seventh consecutive victory of the season by a score of 41-0. Tuskegee New Orleans Townes L.3. Harrison Taylor L.T.

Bordentown Smothers Cheyney Eleven Cheyney, Pa., Nov. 21—Cheyney's hopes of an-anbeaten team this year were annihilated on the campus field today when the eleven of the Bordentown Manual Training School ran rough shod over Cheyney opposition and emerged victorious by a 30-0 score. The scores does not indicate the fierceness of the struggle, for from the opening whistle to the last Cheyney fought with a fierce determination which more than matched her skill, and which several times seemed in danger of taking the ball across the visitors' line for a score. Coach Granger's "Wildcats" fully justified their name, for they showed a ferocity and speed that balked every effort of opposition, and that combined plunging interference with deadly tackling. The absence of Captain Mason from the Normal School line-up weakened the attack of the Pennsylvaniaians, but Hill and Jones and Gould made a good showing. Lewis, Edwards, Turner, and Capt. Williams starred for Bordentown. On Thanksgiving Day Bordentown plays the Union High School at Hampton, Va., last year's champions of Virginia. The line-up: Bordentown Freeman L.E. Simms White L.I.

"Why not marry her?" asked the friend. "Not likely! She is my best patient." Physician: "Take a dose of this after each meal." Patient: "Yes, Doc. Now tell me, where am I going to get the meals?" DANCE Errors in Officiating By E. B. Henderson Our brother official Gibson was certainly lambasted for his decision on the Wilberforce-Howard forward pass. Here is the official's story Gibson following the down, ruled the play a completed froward pass. His opinion was that a Wilberforce man touched the ball between the reception by Long and Campbell, of Howard. Gibson's error was in not calling for umpire Savoy's ruling, for it was a ruling in the umpire's jurisdiction. But after Gibson arbitrarily announced the ruling, Savoy claims to have asked Gibson, "Are you sure?" And then the ruling obtained. The question then was, Did or did not a Wilberforce man touch the ball? If he did not, then the decision was in error. However, no official working often is going to escape an occasional bad break. Last year Gibson was raked for a double penalty in the Hampton-Howard game. The writer has seen his own error in many games in seventeen years of officiating. --- "Fay" Young of the Defender, himself an official, deplores the lack of good officials. So do we all. In many games the referee is working with inexperienced officials and he therefore gets in the habit of hogging all the decisions, instead of leaving those belonging to other officials,—a bad practice, yet occasionally necessary. This habit often goes over to games where the other officials are good or better men. Then, too, there are some officials yet left who get in every game, are never criticized, never take major official positions, seldom penalize teams, play politics for jobs, don't know the game, and make life hard for major officials who realize they cannot depend upon this type of official for anything except perfunctory duties. Teams that consent to play important games without using four officials are due to suffer bad breaks that come from the inability of officials to see all the infringements of rules. Clipping, holding, off-side, interference with the ball, are going to occur with less chance of proper ruling when the field judge is absent. Officials expect to become "Alibi goats" when some teams lose or some players are penalized. It is a real treat, and satisfies often more than the fee, to have a losing coach or captain thank officials after a game. Athletics are intended to furnish wonderful opportunity for character building, learning of lessons of good sportsmanship, self control, courtesy, freedom from whining in defeat. But witness the occasional acts and attitudes of some coaches and captains of losing teams and these virtues are not only lost but the opposite voices inculcated. The writer has read and heard that the referee in the Lincoln-Institute game held his foot on the ball and argued with Institute's captain, thus preventing Lincoln putting the ball in play. Absolutely false. I announced after the recovery of Institute's fumble by Lincoln—"Lincoln's ball, first down." I shoved the ball in position, moved off several feet and listened to Institute's captain contending for an incomplete pass. No time was called by Lincoln, Institute, or me. If Lincoln had played the ball over for a touchdown it would have been just too bad for Institute. The mud fields this year have occasioned all sorts of breaks. Players and balls covered with mud, ooze and slime, have slipped and slid until the referee with his eyes bedimbed by mud could sometimes only guess where the muddied pigskin was. If, however, the referee blew his whistle and intended to declare the ball dead where he saw it last, then no matter where it afterwards went, he is obliged, to rule it in the position last seen, spectators and players to the contrary—notwithstanding. The Joy of a Satisfied Customer The souvenir programs which you printed on the occasion of the Forty-third Anniversary of Dr. Walter H. Brooks have met the universal approval of everybody who has seen them. I wish to personally thank you for the efficient manner in which you handled the job upon so short a notice and under such adverse circumstances. This is one of the many letters we receive from time to time. Murray Bros. Printers, 920 U Street, N.W Under new management, the Alcoe A. C. basketball team has begun training for a fight to regain the championship title of the District of Columbia, which was lost last season to the Carlyles. William Carter, former manager, has been succeeded by Henry P. Hill. Mr. Carter explains that his other business relations would prevent him from devoting the time and thought necessary to the success of the club. Mr. Hill has engaged "Judge" Smith and "Dick" Graves as coach and assistant coach respectively. Several new stars have been added to the aggregation, and Coaches Smith and Graves express confidence that a championship team can be made out of the men who are practicing. The date of the opening game will be announced later. Clean, fast basketball and many hotly contested games are promised by the management. A.K.Savoy Declines to Make Statement A. K. Savoy, the umpire in the much discussed Howard-Wilberforce game which resulted in a controversy over the legality of a forward pass that started Howard towards a successful advance across their opponent's goal line, decided to make a statement as to whether or not he advised the referee that the pass, as it bounced out of the arms of one Howard player into the arms of another was not touched by a Wilberforce player. He takes the position that already there has been too much controversy concerning that particular game. He said: "I feel that already too much has been said concerning that particular play and that particular game. Whatever I had to say, I said on the field, and I do not feel that there is anything for anybody to gain by prolonging the discussion further. I should rather not be quoted." The report is current that when Gibson made the now famous decision, Savoy asked him if he was sure about the play, and when Gibson replied he was, Savoy walked away.

"You are in bad shape," he said. "What you need is a sea voyage. Can you manage it?" "Oh, yes," replied the patient. "I'm second mate on the Anna Marie, just in from Hongkong." What the Press Agents Say "The Woman Hater" with Helene Chadwick, Olive Brook and John Harron in the leading roles will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Sunday and Monday, November 29, 30. It is a powerful story of the age-old, ever-new game of love as played in the atmosphere of "back stage" and the drawing rooms of the "four hundred." Marion Davies in the greatest triumph of her screen career "Light of Old Broadway" will be shown on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 1, 2, 3, 4. Conrad Nagel supports Miss Davies in this picture. It is a stirring and romantic tale of a glorious girl of old New York—when Broadway was a pasture and 69th Street a lane. Marion Davies has the role of a famous little dancer at Tony Pastor's. She meets and inevitably falls in love with a dashing young aristocrat of New York society. In the midst of amazing adventures their love unfolded. Romance, raids and riots whirled, mob passions were let loose—a great metropolis was in the making. The glamor of Broadway swirled, the name of Edison flashed across the skies. Don't miss "Lights of Old Broadway." On Saturday, December 5, for that day only, a first-run picture, "Lady Robinhood" with Evelyn Brent will be shown. On the stage at 7:20 and 9:20 will be presented Dick Hall's Night Hawk Serenaders assisted by talent. ROSALIA THEATRE The special for Sunday only, "Girls Men Forget," is a picture the whole family should see. Johnny Walker and Patsy Ruth Miller are featured. We remember Mr. Walker in "Over the Hills" the great role that made him famous. Matinee at 3 p.m. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "The Coast of Folly," Gloria's best picture to date will be shown. The story, "The Coast of Folly," starts with the desertion of her millionaire husband by Gathway. Gloria first portrays Nadine Gathway. Twenty years later, Nadine's daughter, Joyce, is shown as the heroine of the picture. She is the pet of the younger set at Palm Beach. Miss Swanson is Joyce. In one respect Miss Swanson plays a triple role in the story. If Nadine and the Countess are classed as one characterization, however, and Joyce as another, it might be termed a dual role. Special Announcement The management of the theatre wishes to present a bobbed-hair contest in the near future and will appreciate receiving any suggestions from his patrons as to manner in which a contest of this kind might be offered. He: "My, my, you have changed over night!" She: "Sure. Didn't you?" THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 DUNBAR THEATRE 7th and T Sts., N.W. Phone, North 5224 R. H. MURRAY, Mgr. M. M.

The duo will organize and present a series of tabloid units for engagements in and around Washington. The units will be presented under the billing "Charles Lane presents 'Ted's Plantation and Gems of Vaudeville." The talent will be a mixture of professional and local talent. It is reported that the productions will be offered at the Lincoln Theatre one night each week and at the Star Theater, Annapolis. The features will also be used as special attractions at the Gayety and Mutual Burlesque theatres in Washington. The last named engagements are further proof that although managements of the segregated burlesque theatres have no respect for Negro patronage, they have a highly developed respect for the drawing power of Negro talent. The Big Musical Hit "Shufflin' Sam from Alabam" Here Next Week The Big Musical Hit "Shufflin' Sam from Alabam" Here Next Week And eclipse, which can be seen with the naked eye, will occur Monday matinee 2 p. m. when the jolly singjingling musical comedy success "Shufflin' Sam From Alabam" will open their engagement and eclipse all predecessors. The show will remain for one week only, due to the fact this is the only week they have open. Not in show history has such an assembly of artists ever been gathered together in one company. "Shufflin' Sam from Alabam" is a musical comedy with a plot, a thousand laughs, 20 big song hits that will be whistled long afterwards, a wonderful chorus of creole beauties, the world's greatest comedians, dancers, singers, and the celebrated "Memphis Blues Demons" orchestra of eleven pieces. The book and lyrics are by Harley Nay and the music and song hits by Billie Baskette, whose jazz numbers have been sung and whistled by the entire country for the next ten years. Harry Nay the reconized successor of the great Bert Wilkins as "Shufflin' Sam From Alabam" is considered to be the greatest delineator of the Negro character in the show world. Other features of this show is the "Seven Dancing Streaks," "The Palmetto Quartet" and "The Nut Brown Vamps" and many others too numerous to mention, other than the admission price remains the same, with the usual daily matinee. Gus Smith's Show "Hello Dixie" is Good Gus Smith's Show "Hello Dixie" is Good Gus Smith who has endured just about all of the hardships that show business affords, brought into Washington his "Hello Dixie," just about as finely costumed attraction as has been seen in the town. The show, normally a two-person production, had to be presented in one hour and in one scene because of the Chaplin "Gold Rush" film being featured. The film also got first money on the week's income. That one scene was a beautiful silver drape. The whole performance was given with the band under Genee Jones (Mrs. Gus Smith) seated on the stage. The show was presented before the musicians. That band in its specialty literally stopped the show. Not maybe, for the next number just could not make the audience behave. Gus Smith has developed into a remarkable personal comedian and with Leo Boatner got laughs when on the stage; and George Williams, a new addition, only did his specialty. The fact remains, though, that the production needs more comedy scenes. Advices from Mr. Smith indicates that it is being added this week. He and Genee Jones wrote the book and music, Gus Smith the numbers. Francis Jones, a chirister steps into favor with a dance bit in a place where three girls do singles. Babe Allen, a toe dancer is good. So is Cecelin Coleman, a Russian dancer. Gov. Downie, one time circus owner, is the financial backer of the show and he has presented an unusually well dressed attraction. Anyone can play this show without fear for these twenty people put over a nice entertainment that is clean and has good music. Others in the company are Herbert Latham, Juvenile straight, Broadway Eddie Jones is the dance specialist. Ollie Perkins is a really beautiful big blues singer with personality. Genee Jones, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, has a band that includes, Charles Sawyer, Wm. Pollard, Buster Tolliver, Vincent Iglaiseez, Freddie Williams, Leon Rilus, and Tom Hampton. Miss Jones writes music and Tolliver is an arranger. The whole group are sight readers. The chorus, all nice looking, and all good singers, include Francis Jones, Babe Allen, Beatrice Whitfield, Carrie Crutchfield, Tiny Williams. The show goes to the Regent Theatre, Baltimore next week, according to Wm. Nye, business manager. WILD HORSE MESA. Another great story from Zane Gravy's non.

Lane, Jr., Mg She was told that she would not be treated fairly. Miss Wanzer was delayed quite some time in this interview. When finally asked again her decision in the matter, Miss Wanzer informed the committee that she would go and see for herself. On board ship en route, Miss Wanzer became acquainted with persons who became interested in her career and quest for further study. Luckily she also met one who was familiar with the Conservatory and Miss Wanzer secured information as to the best way to reach the Conservatory. After much inconvenience she reached the Conservatory at Fontenbleau, an old historic chateau. Miss Wanzer was graciously received. She was accorded the best appointments at the school, she dined with some of the instructor and was soon recognized as a person of no mean ability not only in music but in all else that makes the scholar. She described the manner of personal instruction in the different phases of her study. When her course was ended for the term, out of the fifty persons who attended from this country and Europe, only seven were passed and she headed this list. In one of her conversations with some officials of the school, Miss Wanzer told why it was so imperative that she attend the Conservatory there, not only to acquire the specific thing for which she went but to open the dor for other people of Color who desire to overcome the many obstacles obtaining in this country today. Miss Wanzer has already been invited to attend the school next year. She informed the officers at the Conservatory of her difficulty with the Committee in New York and at the same time mentioned the fact that there were others in this country perhaps who could make even a better record if given the chance. The Mistress of Ceremonies thanked the speaker on behalf of the members and guests of the College Alumnae Club for her timely remarks and then presented to those present Prof. David A.

Va., Nov. 14—Miss Hude Wanzer, director of the College High Schools of Charleston, W. Va., was the recipient of a lunchcon given by the College Alumnae Club, Kanawha County at the Mattie V. Lee Home. The occasion was unique and it perhaps signalled the entrance of others of our artists into the source of one of the greatest of art—music. The members of the Club and their guests were served a dainty luncheon. Mrs. Ethelyn G. Johnson, mistress of ceremonies, introduced the president and founder of the club, Mrs. Sarah Meriweather Nutter. Mrs. Johnson told of the efforts and interest manifested, by Mrs. Nutter in the work of the club as well as gave a brief survey of her achievements. In turn, Mrs. Nutter befittingly introduced the guest of honor, Miss Wanzer. Tells of Experience at the Fontenbleau Conservatory of Music Miss Wanzer, who is a Master of Arts from the Chicago Musical College and who is now working towards her Doctorate in this line recountered her experiences in this country prior to her departure and her experiences while at Fontenbleau, France. Miss Wanzer also related how she obtained from former instructors in this country, including Percy Granger, endorsements relative to her work as a musical artist, her extensive correspondence with the officers of the school at Fontenbleau and her final papers and passports incident to her sailing. It was at this point that Miss Wanzer had her greatest difficulty. The Committee in New York which represents the Fontenbleau Conservatory of Music in Paris and through which one must pass before being finally admitted to the Conservatory in Paris explained to Miss Wanzer her futility in going there for study.

She denies that Pinn in the year 1924 and until September 1, 1925, made almost daily visits to their home and that his visits had anything to do with her acquaintance with him. She denies that her mother-in-law came to live at their home through any invitation or suggestion of hers. The arrangement was wholly between her mother-in-law and husband, she says, and despite her protests. She claims that her mother-in-law came to live with them, before she had secured work and that her employment was not a matter of choice, but of necessity inasmuch as her husband's salary was not sufficient to make the monthly payments of $70 on their home. Mrs. Osborne reiterates the charges of cruelty and desertion made in her original bill for a limited divorce and asks the court to dismiss her husband's cross bill and grant her the relief requested. She asserts that she is a fit person to have custody of their daughter. She charges that her husband has improperly cared for Gloria since the institution of the divorce action and that when she obtained the child by an agreement between counsel, Gloria was poorly clad and she had to purchase a number of necessary articles of wearing apparel to protect her from the cold and insure her comfort. She charges that her husband and his relatives have attempted to poison the mind of Gloria against her and have circulated malicious and untrue reports reflecting upon her character.

C. ← CHILDREN'S PAGE FEATURES Record Artists Spit Sam Gray and his wife, Virginia Liston, the blues singer have "split," according to a communication from Mr. Gray on a letter head that indicates him to be presenting himself as a star in a vehicle called the "Eliza Revue." Sam who is himself a record artist wrote from Ardmore, Okla. Ed Pete, former partner of Irving Jones jumped hastily to Chicago last week. It is reported that he joined the "Runnin Wild" show there. What comedian he displaced has not been learned as yet. The show is in the Grand Theatre this week. George McClendon continues to be the featured draw with the Harry Steppe show on the Columbia circuit. Leo Bailey and Nat Cash are with "Monkey Shines" on the same circuit; and Brooks and Blanks whirlwind four are with Sliding Billy Watson. There is a widespread report that Florence Mills has made $300,000 out of a Florida Realty deal and that she will spend the proceeds in building a theatre in Harlem. As we know Florence and her sweet unassuming manner of making apartment house investments, we hesitate to swallow the story without more direct word than these rumors. Then too, the Plantation Room Publicity bureau knows how to release publicity with an uneasy judgement as to timeliness and unerking ability in selecting news value for their press copy. Ray and Lloyd are working in and around Boston with their new offering, and the act is being reported upon with favor by the critics in Massachusetts papers. 99 Albion Street, Boston is the address for the present. Original H. Hunt, an old professional is confined in the Ohio Valley Hospital, Stubenville, Ohio; and asks to hear from the folks. Benjamin Fitzgerald who was for a long time the chef cook at the Tip Toe Inn, 61 West 135th Street, New York, has been contracted for by the Lincoln Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio, for a long time period of service. His service and knowledge of professional and public desires should place the Lincoln Dining Room on parity with the other features of the big Cleveland hostelry, already widely known for its many fine characteristics. Jenkins and Jenkins are with the "Sunshine Sammy" Vaudeville unit. John Mason and his company is in the Brooklyn Theater, Wilmington, N. C. He is in the market, we are informed, for musicians for the purpose of engaging his show. Hi Tom Long Is Preparing Wheel Chair Act Hi Tom Long, the aged white performer who spent a long time in Hot Springs, and while there was correspondent to the Billboard, reviewing each week the attractions that played the Vendome Theatre; and who during that time made a number of close friendships with colored performers, is now in California where for some months he has been trying to have his health restored. In a recent letter he advises that he is just about to have a try-out in a local Orpheum Circuit Theatre, of a new act that he will deliver from a wheel-chair. If the act goes over he expects bookings over the whole circuit. He deserves success with the undertaking, if for no other reason than a merited reward for his tacency. He is a courageous man and his latest effort in view of the great handicaps he has met and overcome in the past few years is a remarkable exhibition of will power. He deserves the especial support of all of our group for the many kindly columns of matter he has written about our shows, and for the splendid advice and assistance he has tendered to many of our show producers. His frequent pleas in behalf of Negro acts in places where we could not reach to plead our own cause have created many openings for the Negro performer. Mr. Long is at present located at the Veterans Hospital at Sawtelle, Cal. He would no doubt be pleased to hear from some of the folks whom he has written about. AN APPEAL FOR HELP FOR MAE KEMP To the Managers of the Different Theatres Over the T.O.B.A. Owing to the long and serious illness of Mae Kemp, I am appealing to the managers of the T.O.B.A. and asking if they would be kind enough to make a little donation toward the help of our friend during her serious illness, namely: Mae Kemp who at the present time is dangerously ill at 172 West 136th Street, New York City. If possible give this your immediate attention and it will be highly appreciated by her friends and family. Address all communications to Jennie B. Hillman, 27 West 139th Street, New York City.

CORNER 13 CARRIES ON On Sunday, November 8, the Masons of Cleveland, Ohio, and with the Commandery leading, attended annual sermon at Shiloh Baptist Church. After the sermon, the members of Deacons Corner, 13, with the assistance of William T. Boyd Lodge, took the Grandmaster of Ohio, Frank A. B. Hall, and his staff aboard automobiles and took the party to the Phyllis Wheatley Dining Room where a fine spread was served to the Grand Lodge staff and the masters, secretaries and treasurers of Cleveland lodges. Samuel Sams, president of the Corner, then took the party to the home of Jas. A. Rodgers and later to the train. Secretary Jordan reports that the club has a fine treasury, has ordered a new Deacons' banner for display purposes and has added to its membership. He says harmony prevails in the Corner and the bunch can "carry on" whether the national body or not. Some spirit that. Well, the National body reports that most of the Corners are doing just that kind of thing, so the whole organization is growing. IRVING C. MILLER LOSES CHILD Was Henry Allen Boyd's Grandson Nashville, Teen. (Special)—Irvin C. Miller, Jr., age three years and eight months, died in this city at eleven fifteen Friday night, November 20th. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin C. Miller of New York City and the grandson of Henry Allen Boyd of this city. He was stricken with diphtheria, which resulted in a complication of ailments. He will be buried in Nashville. The father, Irvin C. Miller, Sr., was summoned by long distance telephone to Nashville from Philadelphia Pa., and the grandfather from Louis ville, Ky. Scores of condolence messages have been received already. SAMMY NOT TO BE IN MUSICAL COMEDY "Sunshine Sammy" after a long period of negotiations with Cecil Mack, Jesse Shipp and Jimmie Johnson who have written a musical comedy around the Kid who was to co-star the vehicle with John Rucker, has gone on tour with his own vaudieville unit. The musical comedy production, the chorus of which has been in rehearsal for some time is still doing dance numbers at Coachman's Hall on West 188 Street, New York; and its producers declare it will open in two weeks Where, and who will be featured has not been disclosed.

Rosamond Johnson Protege Makes Good New York, N.Y., Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—Making his first public appearance as a singer, in New York, Taylor Gordon, a protege of J. Rosamond Johnson, made a pronounced hit in his recital of Negro Spirituals, at the old Garrick Theatre, down in West 35th Street, Sunday night. The singing of Mr. Gordon, whose program consisted of spirituals in its entirety, was remarkable in view of the fact that he had never sung them before; but he had as a background the one and only Rosamand Johnson, who not only accompanied him, but assisted in the singing as well. The theatre was packed and the singers were well received. KOMEDY KLUB OPENING RECEPTION The initial reception of the recently chartered Komedy Klub has been announced for November 25. Invitations have been widely distributed for the affair that partakes of the character of a banquet with entertainment by an orchestra and vaudeville novelties. A full report will be given in next week's Tribute, as the current issue goes to press just before the event takes place. Bart Kennet is manager of the new organization, and Boots Hope is the secretary. The president is a reality operator from Chicago who has a number of business interests in Washington. The Klub occupies quarters at 1235 Seventh Street, Northwest. STUDENT SONGBIRDS TO MAKE RECORDS Lexington, Miss., Nov. 25 (By The Associated Negro Press)—Ada Lee Olive and Luther Marshall, students at Jackson College here, will be taken to Chicago by Black Billy Sunday, the evangelist, to make song records at the Edison laboratories there. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 N'S THEA arks, Fairs, The Deacons Club NEW YORK ITEMS At The Lafayette Last week's bill at the Lafayette was a continuance of a policy of the House to present the best acts, pictures and music obtainable. The bill opened with a white act, "The Patricks," featuring a strong woman who received favorable notice for her feats of strength and endurance. Second on the bill was the new comer to these parts from a vaudeville standpoint; Sam Manning of the team of Manning and Freeman. Mr. Manning made his reputation as a performer in "Processional," prior to that time he made the first West Indian records for the various phonograph companies and is now a featured artist, making records. He came to this country from the West Indies. His act has much originality and novelty but would suggest that he get a new finish. There is a clever bit of comedy, some singing and much sarcasm. This act should do well. McIntosh and Johnson pleased as they usually do with their clever bit of music. The stunt featured by a member of the team by playing the piano while standing on his head was a novelty. The dancing was clever and the comedy was clean. This is a standard act and needs no introduction to the public. Hamtree Harrington and Cora Green tied the show up. They were a scream from the start to finish and the writer must compliment this team in doing their act the same in each and every performance. The closing act on the bill was a very pleasant pleasing surprise, the Gertie Saunders' trio, showed Miss Saunders at her best assisted by Marie Lucas at the piano and an unnamed dancer, who is exceedingly clever. Miss Lucas was at her best in the trombone solo. This is a wonderful, and clever act and should get right out over the big time. The picture was the "Iron Horse," which was well received. The Symphony Orchestra more organization that should get fession is Gilbert Anderson's Symphony Orchestra. This orchestra is composed of the leading musicians of New York City and appears at various concerts. Nothing has been done in a way of endorsements toward this organization but something should be done to maintain it as a representative of the musical ability of our people in New York City. A recent concert at the Renaissance Casino was well attended and a wonderful program was rendered. This organization rehearses regularly and is composed of members of the leading dance orchestras, theatre orchestras and concert orchestras of Harlem. A movement should be launched by the leaders of societies, clubs, etc., to make this organization permanent and to finance it to the point of bringing it before the white people of the Nation. Doc Straine has been recently added as comedian to the Club Alabam Revue. Johnny Hudgins has been confined to his bed for two weeks with a severe attack of bronchitis. He resumed his work this week, but the fact of his illness are quite evident. Herman's Inn is featuring a revue which is very entertaining. Bessie DeSausere is the manager and the patronage is better now than ever. One of the most popular spots in Harlem is the Bamboo Inn. Saparo and his orchestra are packing them in nightly. One of the most pleasing Radio Artists is "Bill Brown and his Brown Artists" now at the Swanee Club. There is a Packard car being given to the most popular radio artist by the New York World. This band assisted by Joe Ward is now second on the list. CHAS. A. MATSON ADVERTISED 'BAD SHOW' Fort Madison, Ia., Nov. 17—Our local theatre manager, Ebinger, is not going to allow his townspeople to be bunked. Last week he advertised the show for that night at the Orpheum as not so good, Ebinger advised the public to remain away, but, he added, in the ad: "Tomorrow we will have a new and good picture for your coin." —From Variety Wanted For HELLO DIXIE CO.

Write or wire—Gus Smith, manager Seven - Eleven Star and Part Owner Dead Secretary of the C. V. B. A. Sam Cook, known to the profession as "Cookie," formerly of the team of Cook and Stevens, but more recently working with Speedy Smith, is dead. It was while collaborating with Speedy Smith that they joined hands with Howard and Brown and formed the now popular musical comedy company known as "7-11." The present season of said company opened in Providence, R.I., the week of August 17. Cook while looking the picture of health, was stricken with paralysis during the early part of the opening week. Unable to function he was brought to his home in New York City, and he lingered along until about two weeks ago when it was thought advisable to take him to the New York Neurological Hospital. Every effort was made there to stem the inevitable, but in vain. The end came on Thursday night, November 12, at 11 o'clock. "Cookie" was born in Galveston, Texas, 43 years ago. His life had been devoted to the stage. He was a Pythian and a charter member of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, now at 424 Lenox Avenue. From the incipiency of the C. V. B. A. he was a member in good standing of the board of directors, true to his vows, square on the books. He was in every way a friend and brother. The C. V. B. A. paid over $100 to the widow. Funeral services were held over the remains at Duncan's Chapel at one o'clock, Sunday, November 15, Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, officiating. An overflowing congregation was in attendance. The funeral program was as follows: Congregational singing; scripture reading; solo, 'There is no death,' M. Everard Dabney; obituary, "Abide with me," by the C. V. B. A. chorus; sermon by Rev. W. W. Brown; solo, "The Lord's Prayer," Lloyd Gibbs, and to the point. Among other things he said. Many are and have been under the impression that all stage folks are fickle and frivolous with no thought of the eternal tomorrow. I have learned from experience that such an opinion is not only erroneous, but unjust. Following the stage is a profession just the same as the practice of medicine, law or any other vocation. Artists on the stage are human with feelings, affections and impulses characteristic of other human beings, and therefore should not be treated as a thing apart from the rest of the human family.
