Many Important Bills Affecting Race to Come Before Sixty-ninth Congress MRS. OSBORNE AWARDED CHILD Hampton Refuses to Release Nathaniel Dett FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 27-B MRS. Hampu EYES OF RACE T WASHINGTON AS CONVENES. During the first session of the sixty-ninth Congress, which will convene next Monday, December 7, many questions of special interest to colored Americans will be considered. The Congress will be ready to receive the annual message of the President on Tuesday, December 8. It is forecast that it will contain a paragraph with sole reference to the Negro, urging that he be accorded his full rights and protected from all impositions, especially the crime of lynching. A year ago the President made such a recommendation, but no legislation based upon it was enacted by the Congress. Several bills, however, were introduced. It is likely that identical bills will be introduced in this Congress. Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, will introduce a bill to assure persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching. This is the same antilynching bill which was killed in the Senate by a Democratic filibuster in the sixty-seventh Congress. Notwithstanding a Republican majority in both houses, there is no possibility of the Dyer antilynching bill becoming a law as long as the rules governing the Senate permit of unlimited debate. This fact will make the fight in the Senate for a cloture rule particularly interesting to colored persons. Vice President Charles G. Dawes has been campaigning since the adjournment of the special session of Congress in the interest of a change in Senate procedure and rules to make filibusters impossible. A, majority of the Senators, however, still favor the present rules. Other bills which will be introduced are a bill to create a Negro Industrial Commission and a bill to build a monument to Negro sliders and sailors. The industrial commission bill will provide for a commission of five persons, three of whom shall be colored, to be appointed by the President. The salaries of the commissioners would be not more than $5,000 a year each, except the chairman, whose salary would not exceed $7,000 a year. The duties of this commission would be to study economic conditions and labor problems affecting the Negro, to discourage Bolshevism wherever it may exist and to formulate a policy of mutual understanding and confidence between the races. The question of public bathing facilities in the District of Columbia will be one of the most perplexing with which Congress will deal. Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and grounds, is certain to propose to the Congress that separate bathing facilities for white and colored persons be established. Such a proposal will evoke a storm of protest. Certain aspects of the Howard University situation are certain to be aired. Representative Louis C. Crampon will likely introduce his bill for the federalization of the university. Persons who are seeking to oust the present Howard University administration will attempt to take advantage of any hearings on this bill for an investigation of the conduct of President J. Stanley Durkee of Howard University. If no committee hearings are had on this bill, they will take advantage of the hearings on the Howard University items in the Interior Department appropriation bill to bring about an interrogation of Dr. Durkee on his attitude and conduct of the university. Some phases of the Howard University situation may be discussed in debate on the floor of both houses. Aside from legislation, there may be one or two fights over confirmation of colored persons nominated by the President to fill presidential offices. The term of Robert H. Terrell as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia will expire in next July. He will hardly be re-appointed, but it is very probable that a colored lawyer will be chosen to succeed him. This appointment requires confirmation. There is also some likelihood of the appointment of a colored man as minister to Haiti. Despite the statement of Secretary of State Kellogg that he is not contemplating the appointment --- THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. KLY WASHINGT Bills Affecting BORNE Refuses MR.

The recent ruling declares that the recent Act supercedes the Attorney General's ruling and that the salary of the Recorder of Deeds must remain at $4,000. The first deputie's salary is fixed by the same ruling at $2,500 MOTHER'S WILL LEAVES SON $17,000 ESTATE The will of Mrs. Sarah E. Griggs, who died October 31, 1925, has been admitted to probate, upon petition of her son, John Newton Griggs, of New York, who is named as the executor of her estate. The petition was filed by Attorney Charles S. Hill. Bond was fixed at $20,000. According to the conditions of the will, all Mrs. Griggs' personal property, valued at approximately $17,000, goes to her son, George Sherman Griggs, of 633 T Street, Northwest. Two lots in Yuma Street are given in trust for the benefit of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Fabiola Brown, of 1513 Fourth Street, Northwest. All her other real property is to be sold. From the proceeds, the sum of $1,500 is to be set apart in trust for her stepson, Frederick Harry Griggs. Mrs. Mary Bell Fair is bequeathed $700. One-third of the balance of the proceeds from the sale of this property goes to her son, John Newton Griggs. One-half of the remainder is to be put in trust for Mrs. Sarah Fabiola Brown, from which the income is to be paid to her. The balance of the proceeds from/the sale of her real property goes to her son, George Sherman Griggs. CAPITAL VIEW, BEING DEVELOPED BY JOHN W. LEWIS CAPITAL VIEW, BEING DEVELOPED BY JOHN W.

Harry H. Pace is president of the company. of a minister to Haiti as long as United States troops occupy the island, certain senators are busy in the interest of certain colored candidates. Jerome B. Osborne of 766 Fairmont Street, Northwest, failed to substantiate his charge that his wife, Ruth A. Osborne, of 1902 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, is not a fit person to care for their four-year-old daughter, Gloria, and Chief Justice McCoy in equity court No. 1, last Friday, awarded the mother temporary custody of the child. Mr. Osborne is to be allowed to see his daughter at reasonable times. Attorney Austin F. Canfield of the law firm of Lambert and Yeatman indicated that he would file a motion on behalf of Mr. Osborne, whom he is representing in the divorce proceedings, to have the child taken away from her mother and given to the father. He claimed that he would base such a motion on newly discovered evidence. Attorneys Bertrand Emmerson, Jr., and Raymond Neudecker, who are representing Mrs. Osborne, do not believe that the temporary custody of the mother will be disturbed pending the outcome of the case. At the hearing last Friday on the motion for custody of the child, the most important evidence was the affidavits of Drs. Hartford R. Burwell and S. L. Carson. Dr. Burwell's affidavit stated that he had treated Mrs. Osborne as a patient from August 25 to August 31, 1925. The affidavit of Dr. Carson stated that he had operated on Mrs. Osborne on September 1, 1925, and that she remained a patient in his hospital from that time to September 14 last, and that she is still undergoing professional treatment as a result of this operation. These affidavits were filed by attorneys for Mr. Osborne. Mrs. Osborne filed two affidavits, in which she stated that she had visited both Dr. Burwell and Dr. Carson that she had no objections to their making any affidavit or statement in connection with her recent illness that they saw fit, and she tendered to the court her waiver of any question of privilege in regard to any matter to which these doctors wished to testify. She further stated in her affidavits that she is ignorant of the cause of the operation which she underwent and that as far as she is advised it was a cause of inflammation. She emphatically denied that any conduct on her part was responsible for her condition and stated the fact to be that at no time did her husband tell her that she was affected. She denied that there had ever been any improper relations between her and any other man since her marriage. Mrs. Osborne is suing her husband for a limited divorce on the grounds of cruelty and neglect. Mr. Osborne has filed a crossbill for an absolute divorce, in which he accuses his wife of misconduct with Benjamin B, Pinn, of 712 Kenyon Street, Northwest. Mr. Osborne denies his wife's charges of cruelty and neglect and she denies his charges of misconduct. Chief Justice McCoy would not grant Mrs. Osborne any alimony or maintenance for the care of Gloria. It appeared that Mrs. Osborne is earning $110 a month as a clerk in the Navy Department and that Mr. Osborne is earning $120 a month as a clerk in the War Risk Insurance Bureau. Out of his earnings, however, he is required to pay $70 a month toward the purchase of the home in Fairmont St.ielt. HARRIS AGAIN HEADS MORNING STAR LODGE Morning Star Lodge No. 40, I. B. P. O.

Martin, prominent local realtor. About three years ago Mr. James signified a desire to retire from the business of which he was the sole owner since the death of his brother and partner who died about four years ago. For a relief from his business and a much needed rest, Mr. James made an extensive tour of Europe. Mr. Ambrose B. Boyd, one of the new owners has been manager of the business for the past two years. He is an experienced undertaker and is well equipped to carry on the present business. James Brothers Undertaking establishment was one of the finest in Washington. It is located at 19th and L Streets, Northwest. It contains a large chapel with ample office and work-room space. The new owners assumed charge Wednesday, December 2nd. IS OLDEST STORE Among the many busy stores during the Christmas season is Butler's, popularly known as the oldest chain credit store in the city. M. A. Shapiro, the genial manager, is always ready to greet his customers with a welcome smile and introduce them to bargains that are hard to beat any where. Butler's boasts of a dignified credit system that eliminates all the red-tape usually found in other stores. The local store is part of the largest chain store system in the country. The store features clothing for the entire family—men, women and children. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

MISS BURROUGHS IS PRAISED BY LOCAL WOMAN In the November 28 issue of the Liberty Magazine it was stated that among the most interesting women in America," we were delighted to find names appear in "Who's Who In America," we were delighted to find the following: "There is a real tribute, one that means something, in the vote of one of Washington's society and political leaders for Miss Nannie Burroughs. The writer says: "I am inclined to vote for a black woman, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Lincoln Heights, Washington. She is a woman of outstanding personality, who has educated herself, built a school up from the ground, step by step, which is now educating colored women for lives of usefulness. She puts an atmosphere of self-help, courage, and devotion into her students that is remarkable. She has dreamed big dreams and has been able, with the help of God, to bring most of them to reality." The Religious Herald (white), published at Richmond, Virginia, carries a very high tribute. In the issue of September 24, 1925, Doctor Eager, a distinguished churchman of the Southern Baptist Convention, writing of the meeting of the National Baptist Convention, held in Baltimore, September 9-14, says: "They are here, and in great numbers, from everywhere: from every section of the country and from several foreign countries, including Canada and Africa. As I sat on the platform, the first day, and looked out on the great multitude before me, I noticed signboards bearing the names of the states from which the delegates had come. "The concert that night was a great success. Seven thousand persons, at fifty cents each, meant encouragement and relief to the pastors here who had mortgaged their homes to meet the local expenses of the convention. The program was a long one, for besides the music several of their best speakers took part, and the great crowd remained quiet and attentive to the end.

Sweet and ten other Negroes, charged with murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob on September 9. Mr. White's report of the present status of the Sweet case, which has commanded nation-wide attention, is as follows: After 46 hours of violent argument, which could be heard sometimes by persons outside of the jury room, the jury disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of eight defendants and conviction of second degree murder for three of the defendants. The jury was dismissed at 1:31 p.m., on Friday, November 27, and shortly thereafter Mr. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second (Continued on Page 8) BOWSER AND BRIGGS CON DUCTING BIG AUTO SALES CO.

A PAGE FOR WOMEN FOR WOMEN WHO CARE FOR THE HOME BE BEAUTIFUL PAGE TEN FOR WOM CARE FOR CAKE MAKING AND BAKING Last week we discussed the making of sponge cake. This week "butter cakes" will be the subject of discussion. Butter Cakes In a butter cake each ingredient contributes definite characteristics and there is a definite relation between them which is important to the person who is choosing a recipe to make it more economical. The facts which help are: 1. A cake recipe which contains 2 cups of bread flour will need 2 cups and 2 tablespoons of pastry flour is substituted. 2. A recipe which contains 2 cups of bread flour and 1 egg. (a). Will look wet with fat and rather heavy if it has more than 6 level tablespoons of butter or more than ¾ cup of vegetable fat. (b). Will be too delicate to hold together if it has more than one cup of sugar. (c). Will probably lump or crack if less than 1 cup of liquid is used. creased to advantage if extra eggs are used. 3. Extra eggs provide liquid before baking and thickening after, so that the batter will look thinner with the larger number of eggs unless a special method of mixing is used. 4. Baking powder beyond the traditional 2-level teaspoons to a cup with a decrease of $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoon for every egg used is likely to cause large air spaces resulting in a coarse crust. Baking of Cakes The baking of cake is a very important part of success. Thickness in the container influences the heat of the oven. Whatever the mixture, divide the time for baking into quarters and the behavior of the batter during and at the end of each quarter should present these conditions. 1st. During first quarter, the cake should begin to rise; at the end of first quarter the portion nearest the tin should be higher than the other portion and bubbles should show over the top. 2nd. During second quarter, the rising should continue and the cake take on a somewhat cooked look next to the tin; bubbles still showing through the center. 3rd. During the third quarter the cooked look should extend over the top and browning should take place. 4th. During last quarter, the cake should finish browning and shrink from the tin. The most common baking fault is too hot an oven. In too hot an oven, the cake cooks (and sometimes burns) next to the pan and over the top, before the rising is complete. As a result the gas which continues to expand either lumps the cake in the place where the heat is lowest or makes a crack at that spot through which the expanding batter can escape.

R. Dudley HOW YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE AFFECTS YOUR APPEARANCE The habitual mental attitude is one of the most powerful influences for making or destroying beauty. The nature of the thought regularly entertained leaves very distinctive marks upon the face. If you yield to a spirit of worry, anxiety, anger, irritability, hatred, sorrow or remorse, your face will soon show the disfiguring imprints of these beauty-destroying moods. Each thought causes an unconscious and involuntary message to be carried to certain muscles of the face, and under the stimulus of this nervous telegraphic impulse, the muscles will the features until the expression corresponds to what is in your mind. If you only bring yourself to realize the grandeur of your thoughts and feelings in your appearance, I know that you will not allow worry, vexation or depression to upset you. You will not allow yourself to be their slave. Commence to cultivate a different mindset. Commence to train your mind to habits of serenity, kind- 2 cups fluor 1 teaspoon baking powder Cream the butter; add the sugar, beating well; add the flavoring and yolks of eggs which have been beaten until they are a pale yellow.

These are tried recipes and have proved their worth. APPETIZING RABBIT DISH FOR COLD EVENINGS Pilau of Rabbit One rabbit, one-half pound of rice, two sliced onions, three ounces of butter, one and one-half pints of white stock, one cup of tomato purée, seasoning. Divide the rabbit into pieces. Wash and drain the rice. Heat the butter, and the rice and onion, and toss for a few minutes in the hot fat without browning them; then add the rabbit. Cook for a few minutes longer, and stir constantly. Add the stock, the tomato purée, the seasoning and a little nutmeg. Cover with lid and cook gently until the rice and the rabbit are tender. Rabbit and mushrooms are delicious when cooked together, provided you cook them in a good, rich stock and use onions and herbs for seasoning. UTIFUL ness, peace and hope until there shines forth in your expression a general love for humanity, a sympathetic charm and a winning appeal; such as make for true loveliness. Each time that a disagreeable thought enters your mind, stop it instantly and replace it by a pleasant one. Gradually you should find that your habitual mental attitude is undergoing a distinct change; that your features are acquiring a new noise; that lines and wrinkles which were forming are smoothing out and becoming less apparent, while the contour of your face steadily improves and gains in attractiveness instead of lapsing into the hard, forbidding aspect such as is likely to develop more and more with each succeeding year unless the proper mental attitude such as I have described is conscientiously and consistently maintained.

TURNER Answers toQueries By Vee Tee Tee "SHOULD A WOMAN WITH A GOOD HUSBAND SEEK OUTSIDE FLIRTATIONS" My dear Vee Tee Tee: Will you kindly give me your ideas concerning my case? My husband is very good to me, gives me every comfort he can afford, showers affection upon me all the time, and does not seek the company of other women. Yet sometimes I grow a little weary and would like just a little romantic adventure once and awhile to relieve the monotony. Not that I want to be disloyal to my husband, but I just crave for a little excitement, a little different from my every-day life. ADVENTURE. My dear Adventure: I don't know hardly how to characterize you, but you impress me as a girl who married beforet her craze for flirtation had died out—or you are really not in deep love with your husband. You should value and prize a man of your husband's type in this modern day, for from my observation they are few and far between. He evidently loves you devotedly and has given up all others for you and delights in showering his effection upon you—a truly lovely thing for a man to do. But you—you evidently tire of this fidelity because you are not really satisfied. You yearn for other fields to conquer, for other hearts to break. In other words, I believe you are a flirt. But, my dear Adventure, I advise you to try and expend your surplus energy in another way and not seek an outside romantic adventure. In the first place it only means trouble and unnecessary gossip for you. If once your husband hears of any little outside flirtation on your part (which he surely will—just leave it to the people in the neighborhood or your friends for that) he will surely lose confidence in you. Whereas, he is a good husband now, losing confidence in you may cause him to seek outside company also. Let me say right here also—a man is able to make a woman feel much worse than she can make him feel, because custom says a man may do many things that a woman would be crucified for, should she be found doing them. Why not try to adjust yourself to your home and husband? Try some outside sport to relieve you of your excess energy and let well enough alone. While your husband is good, let him remain so; while he makes your life happy instead of miserable, let it remain so; consider yourself lucky in having a husband of his type, cultivate him instead of consciously driving him from you by silly outside flirtations. Perhaps this advice is against the grain but you will find it true steel in the long run. Yours, VEE TEE TEE. From the Melting Pot Be good-natured; but not to the extent that people will impose upon you. "As a person doeth, he thinketh," as a rule. That accounts for so many people who engage in underhanded things, thinking everyone else is doing the same thing. Don't parade your virtues before the public. Let them decide upon your good qualities by seeing for themselves. Most men cannot get away from the old-time idea that women are their inferiors, and heap many insults upon them. Wake up, fair sex, assert yourselves and enforce the slogan: "Equality or destruction." Never think because you hold the key to the "gate of society" that untimely talk or actions on your part will not be censured by right-thinking people. "Money covereth a multitude of faults." It is the means by which homliness, ignorance and uncouthness gain recognition from the best people. Don't try continually to find fault with your husband in order to cover up some indiscreet act on your part. Sooner or later you will be found out to your own sorrow. Vice versa. A man appreciates truthfulness in a woman. And if he once discovers deception, he loses all confidence and weighs her thereafter in the balance, always with a doubt added to one weight. Don't always carry a "chip on your shoulder," for someone may accidentally knock it off with more force than you wish or expect. Then what?

FORM OF SIMPLE COURSE DINNERS The order in which courses should be served for a dinner often proves puzzling to the young housewife. This is not strange, for in different sections of the country menus differ. Even in the identical place, one course may be substituted for another so that confusion is easy. In considering this subject let us take a simple course dinner and show how it can be varied, and still, in each instance, be correct. A good foundation menu is as follows: Hors d'oeuvres Soup Crackers (or bread) Fish Meat Vegetables (at least two kinds) Salad When fish is included in such a menu, it is a delicate kind and given in small portion with potatoes or rice. The fish should be garnished with parsley or cress, and may have some sauce or merely lemon cut in slices with it. It may be omitted altogether and a menu be complete for a simple dinner. First Course A fruit cup may be substituted for the hors d'oeuvres. To make the cup several fruits are cut, combined and the juices of the fruits should be used. This is served without any accompaniment. Another substitute for the hors d'oeuvres is oyster or clam cocktail. Both are made by pouring a cocktail sauce, which can be made by mixing tomato sauce with a little Worcestershire sauce highly seasoned and having a dash of tobacco, over three of four bivalves in one of the glass cups mentioned above. Canapes can be use also instead of the hors d'oeuvres. They are appetizers, the simplest of which consist of deviled meat on rounds of toast. They can be decorative as well as tasty tid-bits, and usually are. The entire course may be motioned tnd the dinner start with soup. Meat for Main Course The meat is the main dish and cannot be left out or have any substitute. It may be as plain as the hostess wishes or as elaborate as she can prepare. A roast, joint or game is implied, but a steak or chops frequently takes the place except for formal meals. The vegetables should be the correct accompaniment for the special kind of meat if it calls for such. A sauce may be needed and is always enjoyed. Sometimes both as relish and a fruit sauce or jelly are served at one meal. Salad Course The salad should be dainty and served in small portions. In the Eastern States the salad comes after the meat. On the Pacific Coast the salad generally precedes the meat and sometimes is a first course. It is not one to omit, even though it is merely dressed lettuce or other salad greens. The dessert should not be left out, either. Final Courses The cheese and crackers may be omitted, but since they need not be expensive if an ordinary cheese is served; it seems a pity not to have this course. The coffee in half-size cups (demi-tasse does) not call for cream, but sugar alone. However, many hostesses are gracious enough to give their guests the option of cream. The vogue of serving coffee to guests after they have assembled in another room is one to be recommended. This menu can be elaborated in many ways.

B Funeral 649 Florida A Helpful Suggestions A SAVORY DISH FOR A COLD WINTER NIGHT DINNER Rabbits, to be wholesome, must be perfectly fresh. If they show the slightest suspicion of taint, it is unsafe to use them. Unlike hares, a wild rabbit does not require to hang for any length of time. In cold weather, if it is to be kept a day or two, it is better to paunch it; but the removal of the skin tends to make the flesh dry. For baked and roast rabbit it is necessary to cover the back with fat bacon and to baste well with fat. Rabbit Mold Take one small rabbit, one-half pound of pork, one hard boiled egg, white stock, lemon rind, one teaspoon chopped parsley, handful of herbs, seasoning, one-fourth ounce of powdered gelatine and some vegetables for flavoring. Cut the rabbit into small points. Cut the pork into slices, and put rabbit and pork in a casserole or pan. Cover with the stock, bring to boiling and skim. Add a little onion, carrot and turnip and a handful of herbs, and cook until the meat is tender. Strain off the stock and rinse a plain mold with cold water. Dissolve the gelatine in the stock and pour a little into the bottom of the mold and leave it ot set. Put in the meat with the egg sliced, interspersed. Pack meat loosely and pour over the stock. Set aside until firm. Garnish with lettuce. Rabbit Patties Take one-half pound of puff pastry, six ounces of cooked rabbit meat, two ounces of lean ham well cooked, one and one-half cups of white sauce, yolk of one geg, one tablespoon of cream, lemon juice, grated rind of lemon, one-half teaspoon chopped parsley. After you have made the pastry puff let it cool, then roll out to one-half inch thickness. Use a plain round cutter; dip it into hot water and stamp out rounds of pastry. Make them quite deep, and then put them in the oven for twenty minutes. Cut the rabbit and ham into small dice; add seasoning, lemon juice, parsley and egg and cream. Have the patty cakes warm, fill with the mixture, piling it up high, put on a small lid on each case. Of course, the mixture must be hot when put in the cases. Serve hot.

BY-NAN VALENTINE Exclusive #Fri11th Feature With the arrival of the winter season the demand for something new and distinctive in evening wear, is testing the skill of the most famous creators of fashions. The diversity of neckline in formal gowns is especially interesting; with the deep oval, square and bertha collar, of scarf draping are included as smart. More and more frequently both flares and godets descend from the waist rather than from a point midway to the knee. Moreover, the preatice is still general whereby embroidery, flowers, or appliques are posted at the waist line. Biased lines if not used in the arrangement of fabric, often appear in the decorative treatment. For example, beaded embroidery in diagonal rows across the back of the bodice, added interest to a little dance-frock of satin and chiffon. It was made with a flounce set just above the knee, and the neckline was cut—for a change—rather high in the back. The two-piece jumper dress, which shows no signs of losing its popularity for informal wear, is being developed in gorgeous material for formal wear. Developed in gold cloth, the upper section made of gold lace with a scalloped edge drops in transparent effect over a skirt of the pleated gold tissue. The continued use of long sleeves in models of this order is worthy of note. The neckline is cut in a V in the back and round in the front, gives it a youthful appeal.

Try This PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful 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.

A gold bead glittered at each intersection, and a huge bow of deeper orchid velvet was posed at the front making an irregular hem line. Following are a few gowns of note seen at the Ritz-Carlton at a very important function and made in a shop in which I am an employee. A gown of pale pink velvet known as pastel pink, shows a narrow skirt stitched in petal effect and hung with small tassels. A knotted scarf edged with ostrich shading from flesh to deep red gave the gown an air of elegance. Pale lemon-colored velvet glows under black chantilly lace in a charlotte model. The slightly flaring skirt is slashed up the front and bordered generously with dark brown fur. Smartest of all was a gown designed by Lucien Lelong, considered the most tasteful of all the designers. The gown is fashioned in velvet in two tones of rose; the same fabric executes the horseshoe ornaments studded with rhinestones. Through one of these crescents a girdle falls gracefully, and from the back of the girdle depends a long train also studded with rhinestones. With the exception of the rhinestone motifs which furnish the shoulder straps, all the decorations on this gown is concentrated on the left side of the hip. Here we have an indication that the train is to be scheduled with some frequency along the route of the fashion mode. Boy Scout Work TROOP No. 508. GIVES BASKETS SCOUTS VISIT LINCOLN THEATR TO THE POOR Several of the needy persons in the northwest section of the city were made happy Thanksgiving eve, when scouts of Troop No. 508, with headquarters at St. Augustine's Church presented them with baskets containing a complete "Thanksgiving Dinner." The baskets were made up of vegetables, can goods, and meat contributed by the scouts, with little assistance from the troop committee, who personally delivered them as their "Thanksgiving's community good turn." The names of the poor were selected from a list supplied by Rev. Alonzo J. Olds, sponsor for the troop. He complimented the scouts on putting into practice the second part of the scout oath "To help other people at all times." He asserted that he knew of no greater good turn that could be done by scouts at that season of the year, than by making some one deserving happy, so that they can join in with the many more prosperous people in giving thanks for the blessings bestowed upon them during the year. This is an example of some of the good which is being taught in scouting and it proves that they are getting out of it in proportion to what they are putting in to it. Troop No. 508, is at present under the supervision of the Boys' Activities Committee, and Mr. Leonard F. Colbert is acting as scoutmaster, and Dr. Aaron A. Russell, associated scoutmaster. TROOP 507 VISITS NAVY YARD Troop No. 507, of the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., of which Mr. H. K. Howerton is scoutmaster, visited the Navy Yard last Sunday afternoon, and saw many things of interest to them The guns viewed by the scouts were of the old as well as modern types, ranging in size from 3 to 16 inches. The 16-inch guns weighed over 80 tons, and can fire a shell or projectile of 2000-pound weight over 20 miles. They also visited a torpedo destroyer and the United States Ship Allen. SCOUTLEADERS ROUND TABLE At the monthly meeting of the Scoutleaders Round Table held last Sunday at the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., the following officers were elected: Lieutenant Charles G. Young, U.S.A. Reserves, was elected president; Mr. William L. A. Tancil, chairman of the Boys' Activities Committee, Troop No 508, was elected vice-president; Mr. Charence T. Brooke, Scoutmaster of Troop No 506, secretary; Mr. John H. Brown, Scoutmaster of Troop No 502, treasurer, and Mr. Leonard F. Colbert, secretary of the committee of Troop No 508, publicity agent. The Court of Review that certifies scouts to the second and first class has Dr. Aaron A. Russell, committeeman of Troop No. 508, as chairman, and Mr. N. K. Howerton, scoutmaster of Troop No. 507, the youngest troop in the city, and Mr. Clarence T. Brooke assistants. The Court of Review will be held monthly, and it is the desire of the chairman to have every scout who is registered as tenderfoot advanced to the seconds in the near future. The Round Table was organized last year under the District of Columbia, Council, B. S. A., by Mr. H.. B. Holbrook then Assistant Executive, who is now Scout Executive in Massachusetts. Mr. Charles A. Bell, field-executive, represented the Council at this meeting. Mr. Bell has shown great interest in our scouts and is working hard for the advancement of them in every way. With his co-operation our troops will be brought up to a high standard and be a credit to the National Capital. A prize of five dollars in gold will be given to the boy or girl between the ages of ten and sixteen writing the best poem or essay on the "Emancipation Proclamation." The winning composition is to be read at the celebration exercises at Metropolitan Baptist Church, R Street, between 12th and 13th Streets, Northwest, January 1, 1926. All compositions must be in by December 6, 1925. Send contributions to the Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, or to P. H. Bethea, 1650 R Street, Northwest. MANAGER PRESENTS TROOPS TO AUDIENCE Mr. Charles E. Lane, manager of Lincoln Theatre opened the Boy Scouts winter schedule by presenting the troops to a large audience recently. Mr. Lynn C. Drake, Associated Executive of the Local Council, thanked Mr. Lane for the interest he had shown in the Boy Scouts, and his endeavor to present them to the public, that greater support may be given them in the National Capital. Dr. Paul Bartsch of the Executive Committee, B. S. A., and professor of nature study, delivered the principal address, and related the possibilities of our boys in the greatest organization of boys on earth. He said he would like to see our scouts of Washington holding none other than the leading place in scouting among similar troops of the country. The support of the public was urged in this undertaking and that all boys twelve years of age and over register in one of the troops, thereby receiving the benefits offered him through scouting that cannot be gotten otherwise. Mr. Clarence T. Brooke led the scouts in the scout oath and laws which opened the program. The scouts remained for the evening show which was enjoyed by all. It brought out vividly the eleventh scout law, the necessity of a scout to "Keep Clean in body and thought stand for clean speech, clean sport, clean habits, and travel with a clean crowd." PUTTING THE GARDEN TO BED Ambitious scouts would do well to take this tip from "The Boys' World." "A boy can make a nice sum of spending money each year by putting gardens to bed. To secure the job, walk along the streets in those sections of the town where there are small yards and gardens. In the yards where nothing has been done about taking care of the garden in preparation for winter, go in and ask if you may have the job of making the garden ready for winter. "Maybe the owner has never done anything of the kind, and lets things take care of themselves. You may suggest work to be done, such as pruning and wrapping tender roses; mulching and thinning tender plants that live over winter; digging gladioli, cannas, dahlias, and carefully storing them so they will keep; raking up trash, and spading up beds and planting them to bulbs that are to bloom in the spring. "It is a good idea to save burlap sacks all fall for wrapping roses. You can also get a great many for a very small price by buying torn or ripped ones. Open these sacks up, trim, and pile them in bales for your needs. You may sell the sacks to customers at a little profit, or else take the job of wrapping their roses in burlap, charging a set price for the job which is to include your work and the materials for wrapping. For the work you will need a wheelbarrow, a fork, pruning shears, a trowel, and a hoe. "In your walks you may find loose boards in a fence, loose pickets, and wire that you may offer to fix while on the job. In these walks you may locate grass clippings, leaves, and fertilizer that you can buy for a small sum, often get for nothing and which you may in turn sell at a small profit for mulching. "This is a business that any boy in a good sized town or city would find profitable." AN OLD MAN'S STORY (Composed by Marguerite Murray, 11) Here's what I did when I was small, I built air castles, Oh! so tall, And planned, and planned upon the sands. I think of the opportunities I had, And my short life I spent as a cad. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 By Pocahontas E. Griffin(16) Little Mary worshipped devotedly at the shrine of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, that-eminent Negro poet. She sincerely believed that some day she would be able to give to the world a second Dunbar. With such high ambitions, Mary began her freshman year at Dunbar High School. She was grimly determined to become an honor student, since she knew that in order to obtain a foothold on the ladder of success she must first bring honors to to her Alma Mater. Nowhere in Dunbar could a more conscientious and persevering student be found than Mary. No one ever heard of Mary being disrespectful to her instructors, nor was she ever heard to complain of the severity of the rules of Dunbar. She never failed to obey and observe the rules of her school. Because of her excellent characteristics Mary became a favorite of both teachers and classmates. She faithfully supported the various clubs and associations in Dunbar of which she was a member. No matter how difficult a lesson was, Mary found some interest in it for she recognized the value of a lesson, giving hardly a thought toward the marks. Mary despised those who acquired high marks through deceit, and was once heard to say, that she would appreciate a "D" honestly won far more than an "E" acquired by deceit. Sometimes when Mary was tempted to sacrifice her lessons for pleasure, she would think of the goal towards which she was striving and just this thought would place her on the path which she had thus far trod. At the termination of her brilliant course at Dunbar, Mary entered Wellesley. She found that the instructors at this institution were acquainted with the excellent record she had made at Dunbar. They also knew that she was a promising poet. With this in mind, combined with a desire to show the members of the other races at Wellesley that though they may smile with pleasure at our tribulations, and sneer at our successes, we shall progress just the same, Mary began her college term. With even more grit than she had possessed in high school, Mary began climbing the remaining steps of the ladder of success. It was a difficult climb, but Mary knew that if she failed they would laugh at her. So she thrust all obstacles from her path and slowly completed her ascent to success. She won great distinction for her wise and beautiful poetry and soon people began to link her name with the immortal Dunbar's. Thus Mary attained her ambitions showing the world that the Negro can aspire to, and reach as great heights as members of other races.

Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Addresses Open Letter To President PAGE TWELVE Protesting Activities of Perry Howard a November 28, 1925 Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, ‘The White House, Washington, D. C. The Honorable President: -Just a word of introduction: Y am the General Organizer of the “Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters The object of. this organization is tc Yaise the wages of the Pullman por. ters, the lowest paid of all railroad workers, from $67.50 to’a living wage: to better their hours of work’ and to improve the conditions under whick they work, the right of every Ameri- can citizen, regardless of race or color. = At present a porter who - leaves Boston at 6:30 p.m. for Chicago, gets ‘only three hours sleep on the trip of twenty-three or more hours, whereas the Pullman Car Conductor who Jeaves on the same train, gets off at Buffalo, a run of only eleven hours and gets four hours sleep during that short run. These long hours for the porters are obviously unreasonable. The other railroad workers have the 240 hours or less monthly wage basis. At present also a porter who leaves New York at 12:30 midnight for Washington, D.C., reports for duty at 7:30 p.m., and works until the train leaves the terminal station, that is. making ready his car; but -he gets nothing for that work ‘put in on the ear, since his time does not begin un- til ‘the car leaves the station. On the basis of twenty-five cents an hour, the man who runs to Washington on the 12:30, is deprived of $1.25, twelve times a month or $180.00 a year, This condition I am sure you recognize as unfair. ‘The Pullman porters have found out from experience that they cannot de- pend on the.uncertainty of tips; they want a living wage upon which to maintain their families. ; It is a notorious fact that the Pull- man Company is the only big corpo- ration in America which relies. on the public to help it pay the wages of itr emplovees. This, too. despite” the fact that it admits in its own report that the last fiscal year ending Julv 31, 1925, was the most prosperous in all its “history, its income being $83,927,749.34, which is the result of the increased productive efficiency of its workers, though the Pullman por- ters’ wages remained stationary. Tt is not generally known, but never- theless true, that porters are com- pelled to buy polish with their own money for the shoes of the passen- gers, but are not permitted to re- eee Pay for shining their shoes, and if they don’t shine them, they are pen- alized. Now because of the effort of the porters to organize. the Company has attempted to intimidate them by threatening to put untrained, inex- perienced Filopinos on the cars, des- pite the half century faithful record ‘of the porters to the Pullman Com- pany. Tt" has put several Filipinos, who neither speak understandingly the English language or are familiar with American customs, manners or psy: chology, on club cars, in violation of its agreement with the porters which is supposed to recognize the rights of seniority, only long, efficient service ‘of porters as a recommendation to serve on the club cars. Still Filipinos, who never worked for the Company a day before are put on the club cars over the request of Negro veteran porters who haye been in the service over thirty years. This, of course, is intended to serve as a threat to the men, who are simply doing what every other group of railrod workers, has already done, namely, they are or- ganizing in an orderly and lawful manner to make lawful and resonable demands. To oppose the porters in thei struggle for a living wage, the Pull man company has hired Perry W Howard, special assistant to th United States Department of Justice Berets WIN PLACE IN WANNAMAKER HARMONY CONTEST New York, N. ¥., (By The Associ- ated Negro Press.)—Hahn’s Emporers ‘of Song, the sensational quartet star- ring at’ the Cotton Club won. fresh honors last Saturday when they were accorded second place in the Harmony eontest for quartettes held in the Wan- namaker Auditorium ,and under the direction of the Wanamakers.

CHICAGOANS PRESENT “THAIS” Chicago, Mll., Dec. 4.—(By the “As- sociated Negro Press.)—“Thais,” the dramatic masterpiece from the pen of Paul Wilstach ,written after the great ‘novel of that name written by An- tole France, was presented to ca- Bocity andiences, Thanksgiving Week the Avenue Theatre for the bene- fit of the National University of Mus- ie, Pauline James Lee, founder and president, with Clarence E. Muse, star of many dramatic productions, Wil- Oe eee Mere eee ee ee think it is unethical and against the best interest of tax-payers for a ser- vant of the Government, employed to ee railroads, to be a paid em- ployee of a railroad, a possible liti- gant against the Government. We respectfully urge that you compel him to get out of the Government or the Pullman Company. We can’t, believe that you would knowingly “counte- nance any such unethical conduct on the part of one of your appointees, ‘He has been charging, as a_smoke sereen, in order to divert attention from the real issue, that the Brother- hood of Sleeping Car Porters is backed by Moscow. This is absolutely untrue. This organization was or- ganized, is controlled and financed by Pullman porters. Its object is not to injure the Pullman Company, but to help it; not to counsel insubordina- tion, but to urge and advocate ef- ficient discipline; not to lessen the efficiency of service to the traveling public, but to increase it. We shall be happy to submit our movement to the investigation of any group of fair-minded American citi- zens, whom you might deem it, ad- visable to appoint in order to dispel baseless charges against the legiti- mate efforts of the Negro porters to do what white workers on the rail- roads, and off, have done without at- itracting any undue amount of notice that is, to form a simple trade union. | May 1 also inform you that the Con- ference of fifty Negroes who recently were in Washington, presumably to protest against segregation against ‘the race did not represent the Ne- groes at all, it was a Pullman Com- pany’s Conference. It has been un covered by the Pittsburgh Courier, that the transportation, hotel bills and the entertainment of the mem- bers of the Conference, were paid for by the Pullman Company. It got its color of excuse by talking nominally about segregation and, also. they sought prestige by visiting you, But its true reason for being can be seen in the resolution sent out. by the Negro Associated Press on Indus. trial relations, in which the movemen to organize the Pullman porters is ‘condemned, and the Employee Repre- ‘sentation Pian of the Pullman Com- pany, is endorsed. Thus, it is obvious ‘that "your courtesy and _ confidencs have been played upon, with a view ‘to getting the color of your approva for a Conference, the purpose of which ‘was concealed from you, by persons who were the paid tools of a private ‘corporation. “You will also note, Mr, President ‘that no representative of the Nationa Association for the Advancement 0’ colored people, the largest Negro Organization in America, was ¢ member of the Conference.” It is the ‘only organization that has any expert knowledge on political and civil right: questions. ‘The reason why it was not invited is that it had already officially endorsed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. ‘The Employee Representation Plar and the Pullman Porters Benefit Asso- ciation urged upon the porters, are company propositions which cannot serve the interest of the men, Hence, in the interest of justice to 12,000 men and their families, I beg, Honorable President, that you stop Perry W. Howard, a servant of the Government, from misrepresenting a large section of American citizens who are strug- gling to secure, according to consti- tutional guarantees, the rights of life Nerty apd the pursuit of happiness. ‘ery sincerely yours, __ A: PHILIP RANDOLPH Another Letter Mr, Raridolph also addresses a let- ‘ter of protest to Arthur G.

McIntyre Discovers That the Profession Goes to Church We Knew It All the Time The N. Y. Day by Day says: “St Malachy’s Church in the tumultuous heart of the Roaring Forties cele- brates Actors’ Mass. Several other churches in the same district are usually well filled with stage folk. Few performers are without spiritnal faith. A producer tells me’ that in half the dressing rooms along the Rialto Bibles will be found. And they are studied daily. Most of my friends ‘of the theatre have more love in their hearts and more service for others in their lives than all the dogmatic bi- gots. I know about.” Jimmie Chestnut. of the Chicago Defender provided this reference with the explanatio nthat it is bechuse of the activities of a similar character by Rev. Alex. Garner of the. Grace Church of Harlem and the Editor of this “Page’ among the Colored Pro- fessionals of New York. There is as large a percentage of church mem- bers among showfolks as may be found in any trade group in the coun- try. . «gy? Remodeled “81” Opened | Atlanta Ga.—After being closed for repairs for three weeks the Eighty- [One Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia, re- qgened its doors to the public on Mon- day, November 23rd—a new elaborate front with a marquee, covering the en- tire width of the Theatre and extend- ing almost over the wide sidewalk is one of the features of the change which makes a most pleasant impres- sion, and illuminates the entire block. ‘The Theatre is beautifully decorated and painted inside and out—and new and expensive chairs are installed. A $10,000.00 organ is being installed, The Seals and Mitchell “Melody Lane Girls Company” a very clever aggregation of twenty artists was se- lected as the Attraction for the open- ing, and was equal to the occasion, and pleased the large audience. A number of southern managers including Samuel E. Reevin, man- ager of the Theatre Owners’ Booking ‘Association, who is supplying. the at- traction to the Eighty-one Theatre, were the guests ‘of Charles P. Bai- ley, who entertained them royally, ‘and made their stay a pleasant one. A large number of congratulations were received from those who could ‘not be present in person, and a number of beautiful baskets, filled with flow- ers sent by friends and well-wishers adorned the lobby. — Cinspicuous among them was the one with gold letters on a white silk ribbon bearing the inscription T. 0, B. A. Notwithstanding the fact that Mon- day, the opening day was the coldest day’ this season in Atlanta there was ‘no standing room when the curtains for the Vaudeville rose, and a very appreciative audience greeted the per- formers, and were forced to take sev- eral encores, The John Mason “Mr. Rareback Company” of eighteen people will fol low the Seals and Mitchell Company the week of November 30th. Whipper Visits Washington Leigh Whipper, manager of the Or- pheum Theatre ,the theatrical sensa- tion of the season from a box office viewpoint, was a visitor in Washing- ton early this week. While here he was the guest of his sister, Dr. Iola Whipper at her Florida Avenue home. Mr, Whipper declined to make any specific’ statement as to his reasons for the visit right in the middle of the show season, and seemed to find con- siderable enjoyment in hobnobbing with his former Howard University fellows and the many other friends of his early days which were spent in ‘this city. + He was a Tribune office visitor and placed an order for considerable ad- vertising for early use. It may be also noted that he made a number of very pointed inquiriés about the gen- eral theatrical situation in this and other cities. It may be just possible that the United Exposition Corpora- tion ,the concern financing his Newark venture may be preparing something that will make startling showshop news. Mr. Whipper, however, de- clined to make any announcements as to future plans of theconcern. He did admit though that the Orpheum is a highly profitable enterprise and that his associates have pronounced wil- lingness to back any amusement pro- positions that he cares to submit. | Mr. Whipper is quite dissatisfied with the unreliability of a number of Southern acts that he has booked inte |his theatre only to be disappointed |He states that out of eleven acts an¢ Jone show booked from the South, tha ‘|he has had nine disappointments, an¢ }some with very frivolous reasons | One act cancelled on short notice te -| stay in Washington and see the Worl¢ | Series, others offered quite as odd ex. cuses, he says.

P., and A. $ Pinkett, local attorney and an official of the same organiza- tion at lunch at Mrs Slaughter’s res- taurant. At the lunch it was disclosed that Mr. Whipper is tendering the Newark Branch of the N. A. A. C.

HOWARD MEDICAL NEWS (By Kelly Miller, Jr. Drs. A. Godfrey Featherston and C. Westley Preston, graduates of the college of medicine, 1925, have passed the Michigan State Board. Dr. William F. Wyld of the American Society for the Control of cancer, 370 Seventh Avenue, New York City, gave a very interesting and illustrated lecture to the members of the Senior and Junior classes of the school of medicine, December 1st, in the amphitheatre of the Howard medical school. In Kelly Miller, Jr. A. E. the course of his lecture, Dr. Wylf gave brief accounts of the different theories of cancer and the historical background of the same. Dr. Wylf claims that x-ray and radium have their place in the treatment of cancer but the muum anchor is surgery. He said that one of the great problems which confronts us at the present time is to get the people so educated that they will consult physicians when they first have ailments instead of going to their neighbors or friends. He gave as an example that many women who may have lumps in the breast take the advice of their neighbors and instead of going to their physicians rub the lump or mass with linaments. This he claims spreads the disease and causes the high mortality rate among women. Fritations of the skin are generally treated lightly but in many cases cancer is present. Cancer of the skin causes three per cent. of all of the deaths caused by cancer, but if treated in time the great majority of cases of cancer of the skin may be cured. The largest number of deaths according to statistics compiled by the Society are between the ages of thirty and forty years. During the last year there were 89 deaths per 100,000 of living population, and while the annual death rate is decreasing the death rate due to this disease is increasing. He claims that this increase is due to inability of the physician to definitely make a diagnosis they have missed lots of the diagnosis in the 'past'. The lantern slides displayed statistics and interesting facts concerning the disease. In conclusion, Dr. Wryl claimed that a great amount of research work is being done in laboratories all over the world and it is hoped that some very important discoveries concerning the origin, prevention and cure of the disease will soon be forthcoming. He also stated that early recognition, prompt and skillful treatment are our greatest assets at present in the checking of the disease. There were a large number of graduates of the colleges of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy from all parts of the country at the Howard-Lincoln game in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day. The District Sunday School Thanksgiving Song Service was great. Those who attended were asked to make a donation to help Shiloh replace her song books. All did well but too much can not be said of Lincoln Temple. She stands at the head and through her loyal support, we were able on Sunday November 29, to present to Shiloh Sunday School, $25 in behalf of the District. Miss A. J.

THE RHINELANDER CASE There is no civil law nor text book which effectively says whom we shall love. We do not fall in love with a person because reason or expediency tells us we should. We may have a passionate romanticism, but we fall in love with that person who strikes fire in us, be that person a master mind, a moron, or a member of the lowest social or moral element of humanity. Love is mysterious; governed neither by law and order, nor by reason and expediency. It is the one great force which pervades the universe, augmenting our muscular activity and imparting grace to our every movement. To love and to be loved is innate, and forms as much a part of our being as bone or flesh or as reflection or reason. No man nor woman can escape the influence of this emotion, sooner or later. It may or may not come according to the wish or the liking of our parents or guardians; nevertheless, it comes and with it comes the richest blessings of life: heightened spirituality, awakened hope, strengthened faith and enhanced devotion. Kip Rhinelander's heart, shunned as it was by the girls of his circle, demanded an object upon which to lavish the largess of its affection. A bird, a flower, or even a star may, in the absence of all others, have received this homage; but neither could respond to the longing in his heart—the desire to be loved. Reciprocated love was what he demanded, and reciprocated love he got, "and didn't give a damn." We may regret that the object of his affection was Alice Beatrice Jones, a Negro. His parents may protest; but no civil law can be promulgated which shall make him love, keep him from loving, or decree the object of his affection. The color of skin may be an indicator; but, a barrier, never. With the foregoing in mind, we place the responsibility of this disgraceful trial on the lawyers who are conducting his case. We see the crying need to cleanse our courts of the type of lawyer who forgets that he is "an officer of the law, sworn to use the courts and not to abuse them." Only by such cleansing can we hope to raise the standard of the bar and return our courts to their rightful position as seekers after, and dispensers of, justice. THE KLAN; THE FERGUSONS AND TEXAS Racial and religious prejudices have entered the public affairs of Texas and have done so at the expense of the progress of the State. That undemocratic, progress-hindering order, commonly known as the Ku Klux Klan is there, strong, and being there has done three destructive things: thrown the politics of the State into turmoil; given it Governors who are unfit and untrained for the office; and subjected the populace of the State to the evil consequences of maladministration of State government and political dissension. Statistics show that wherever the Klan has intrenched itself—Oklahoma and Indiana are examples—the worst economic, political and social elements have come to the fore, making possible the entrance of shady opportunists and demagogues who, in turn, misdirect the interests and energies of the community, party, or State Texas is no exception. "Jim" Ferguson, as Governor, in 1917, proved himself incapable to administer the affairs of the State and so disgusted thinking Texas that he was convicted on ten of twenty-one counts, removed and disqualified from holding office. Then, like a drowning man, he began seizing every possible straw in an effort to rehabilitate himself. By 1922 the power of the Klan had become largely felt and, in a campaign which appealed to prejudice and not to principle, to the emotions and not to reason, ex-Governor Ferguson aroused sufficient sentiment to make him the outstanding Klan antagonist. Texas could not tolerate the Klan. Therefore, it rose against the order, characterizing it as an enemy to constitutional government. In the gubernatorial Democratic primary in 1924, it was a choice between "Jim" Ferguson and a Klan nominee; but the courts enjoined "Jim" from running, so Mrs. Ferguson, equally improperly trained if not unfit, became the standard bearer of the party. The saner people dared not, at that time, to attempt to capture the Governorship with a less popular and appealing figure than one of the Fergusons. They chose the lesser of two evils. The State is now paying the price. It must make secondary all its legitimate tasks—education, economy, public improvement, efficient administration—until it deals properly with such menacing force as the Klan.

The dramatic Gerald Chapman has "upset the works" by his refusal to accept a Presidential pardon for a Federal crime of robbery, involving over a million dollars. To accept the pardon, he claims, would remove the one barrier which stands between him and the electric chair in which the State of Connecticut says he shall suffer for a more recent crime of murder. The immunity that Chapman maintains is his. recalls a ruling of the Supreme Court during the Wilsonian administration. The late President Wilson tried to pardon a newspaper Editor so as to deprive him of justification for refusal to testify, but the Supreme Court ruled that a pardon could not be forced upon a man against his will. Such immunities as belonged to the editor in his capacity of a prospective prisoner were not to be taken away from him; and Chapman will contend that a rejected pardon from the President can not affect his right to be a prisoner of the Federal Government before he is hanged by a State. We shall expect his case to be argued from many angles. We shall expect it to be argued that a Federal prisoner has no immunities of his own against prosecution by a State; for, in the case against Ponzi, Chief Justice Taft ruled that a prisoner, "may not complain if one sovereignty waives its strict right to exclusive custody of him (the prisoner) for vindication of its laws in order that the other may also subject him (the prisoner) to conviction of crime against it." The question now to be answered is not whether Chapman has a right to be kept by the Federal Government but whether the Federal Government has a right to keep him. "The way to make the negro a better and safer element of our population is not to organize fights upon the imaginary alien seducers, but to conduct an intelligent offensive against the real domestic menaces that embitter the negro's life and impel him to occasional acts of rebellion. One of these elements is the unspeakable lynching practice. Others are execrable housing conditions, under education, and grossly unfair discrimination in the matter of parks and playgrounds. In these menaces lie the real danger that the negro may become radical. If he becomes a radical, it will be America's fault—not Russia's." Thus speaks the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot in a stirring editorial upon the fear of the Negro becoming a "Red," born of news to that effect that grew out of the Lovett Fort-Whitman Labor Congress held in Chicago last month. Many papers accorded editorial space to it, according to the Literary Digest. The sense of fair play exhibited by the Virginia publication hits the nail upon the head. We may add that the paper might set an example to the disturbing discriminators by practicing what it preaches. How about capitalizing the word NEGRO as proper nouns should be? The public's elastic patience has limits. A regime that can produce the Ku Klux Klan, the tragic mockery called Prohibition and at the same time submit to an annual coal shortage will, sooner or later, feel the lash of popular indignation. The three essential features of Governor Pinchot's program for ending the coal strike are just and far-sighted. The public can heartily support his program—investigation and arbitration of wage demands, restoration of pre-strike coal prices and a five year agreement to give the industry stability. "The American invasion has resulted in only one thing for us; increased cost of living. France is becoming an Anglo-Saxon colony. There are too many of these parasites here, eating our food, drinking our wine, going untaxed, [we might add, spreading race prejudice], and paying ridiculously little for everything they consume, thanks to the exchange."—l'Oeuvre. In America it is a crime to drink, make love without restraint, or be a Negro. Knowledge is a treasure, life's greatest acquisition, the pass-key to the door of success. Acquire it and rest assured that no on can take it from you. We delight in seeing a man enthusiastic. We delight more in seeing 12,000,000 Negroes enthusiastic. Awake! Washingtonians, and let's take the lead, or at least an active part, in any and all movements which bid fair to bring about better race relations. Howard 0, Lincoln 0, was the score, as it has so often been reported in other years. Now comes a bright friend, who opines that the fraternity spirit has been carried so far in our schools that the boys won't tackle a co-fraternal on the opposing team. Wonder if the guy knows what he is talking about? Frank R. Kent, writing in "The Nation," tells us, in so many words, that the "bloe tax layers" will try to rally their forces in the Senate to defeat scientific—so-called—tax reduction. The argument in support of the reduction is that, by doing away with surplus taxation, Congress lightens the load on the shoulders of the entire community. The truth of the matter is that the load will still rest on the shoulders of the masses, regardless of the reduction in surplus taxation. The masses have paid and will continue to pay the tax necessary to defray the expenses of the Government. High finance has paid and will continue to pay just so much—the remainder will, as heretofore, be buried in tax exempted securities.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 My People and Other Folks BY J. A. JACKSON My People and Other Folks BY J. A. JACKSON "The Society is now preparing to publish its 1926 membership register and Blue Book (Who's Who). Sketches of the most illustrious men and women of the Race will appear between its covers." So begins a letter from the Emancipation Society of North America, "The aristocracy of American achievement," according to the letterhead which gives the home office as P. O. Box 1921, Oklahoma City, Okla. A blank form to be filled out and returned accompanies the letter. Upon this blank form we are expected to enumerate our achievements (?); and provide the names of such of our acquaintances as we deem worthy of being listed in this "aristocracy." This is the fourth package of such mail that has reached our editorial sanctum in the past few weeks. Oh, Ah, Hum! how easy it is becoming to get famous—and how cheap (ten dollars, up). Well, anyhow, these last folks, though Westerners, were not so crassly material as to mention the little matter of charges. That is, not right off the bat. That little "joker" may be concealed somewhere in the operation; or, perhaps they are not university men and have overlooked something. Take your choice; get famous via New York, Philadelphia, Oklahoma or Howard University. All the difference is in the trifling matter of cost and in the probably indifferent matter of geographical preference. However we must give it to these Westerners—if indeed Westerners they be (there are no names attached to their letters nor their literature)—yes, we must hand it to them for slipping in their invitation that most alluring word, "aristocracy." How's this for Higher Education? Barnard College has adopted a set of rules formulated by Dr. Guliema Alsop, the college physician, for the guidance of the girls who desire to smoke the neat little cigarettes that have become fashionable. This would seem to be unnecessary; for, we know a lot of girls who have never been to Barnard who have somehow learned to pull a nasty weed. However, there's nothing like doing things with correct form, don't-cha-know. Detroit is the scene of a murder case, or cases, growing out of the curse of segregation. Eleven Negroes have their lives in jeopardy before the courts of Michigan for defending their desire to occupy, in peace, decent homes. The humane and uplifting Dearborn (Mich.) Independent takes cognizance of the situation in a masterly editorial on "The Negro." That is, it starts out in a masterly fashion, only to drop into a closing paragraph in which it states—"He (the Negro) should have all of these things (sunlight, space and sanitation) in his own quarters." The Independent is credited with being the property of Mr. Henry Ford. Wonder if we should also provide our own roads and streets upon which to drive the myriads of "flivvers" that Negroes own; one idea is as logical as the other. While on the subject of the Negroes' buying power, we have lately learned that a certain downtown merchant in this city recently had his books audited at the instance of a new manager who disliked the charge of too much Negro patronage, which was characterized as "bad business." He was converted, however, when the records disclosed that the Colored patrons of the installment house numbered more than 4,000; and, furthermore, that this group had a record of being 60 per cent more prompt with payments than were the white patrons. No, there is no lack of courtesy, nor attempts at segregation in that business house. Money certainly speaks a commanding language. Crime news is interesting if not elevating. It is filled with surprises. Just a few samples from last week's grist. In Louisville, Ky., A WHITE JURY give a WHITE ASSAILANT a two year penalty for assaulting a COLORED GIRL. In New Orleans, a WHITE MAN was found guilty of having killed a NEGRO. This jury, however, tempered their findings with the expression "without capital punishment." Neither finding is per se of any great news consequence except for the fact that it is pleasant to perceive even these slight concessions to law and order where white persons are charged with crimes against Negroes. Give the group its proper legal protection, and a greater respect for the law will be engendered in all of us. Of course the brutalities continue in Georgia Prison camps; but that is not news of consequence to the white press of the land. News is something UNUSUAL. The Dailies, though, make boxed stories and otherwise emphasize the news that twenty-six peasants in the village of Kavezino, Russia, have been brought to trial for the burning of a gypsy couple. In America we are accustomed to such burnings. The news value of the Russian article seems to repose in the fact that the mob members were brought to trial. No wonder Negroes might be suspected of having a friendly leaning toward Russian propaganda. Any government that punishes lynchers would naturally find favor in the minds of a people who so frequently provide the lynchee. Even religion is segregated, according to last Saturday's Post. On the page devoted to churches we found a nice bordered double column head over the news concerning the WHITE churches and in another column our eyes were greeted with a single column caption reading "Service for Negroes." And, all of these years we had been believing that religious services were for all mankind without discrimination. Wonder if Christ separated the races before he divided the loaves and fishes, or if Negroes were on one side of the Mount and whites on another. The Bible seems to have been remiss in not having made some of these things clear for our present day Christians. By C. Leslie Frazier WATCH YOUR CONVERSATION You cannot be too particular in your speech when you are behind the counter. To the patron, every little word has a meaning all its own. It is never necessary to tell a patron what an article costs you. The buying price is your employer's business. Keep faith with him by keeping his private affairs to yourself. Too, after work hours, don't talk about profit to your friends. Talk all the "shop" that you want to—but profit on your goods should not be discussed. Don't swap tales with frineds, nor with clerks of other firms, about your employer's methods of doing business. Business courtesy demands that all patrons be addressed in like manner. Form the habit of saying madame, miss, sir. Give each patron his or her title "Mr. Mrs. or Miss." One feels better when this little courtesy is shown to them. If profanity is not offensive to you remember that it may be offensive to your patrons. Avoid profanity. Boasting about your salesmanship is a cheap trait that injures your prestige with patrons. Belittling your fellow worker, your employer's competitors, or the race has no sales value to it. Stick to business and present the good qualities of your goods to your patrons. Don't use the words "nigger, coon, shine, darky." Whether at home, in the street, or at business this is a bad habit. All of those terms are group allusions—not personal allusions. Don't verbally degrade the race of which you are a part. Guard and guide your tongue. Use your ears and eyes more. Letters to Editor The Tribune and its staff has the very human instincts of pride and appreciation. We confess that such encouragement as is contained in the following letter is an appreciated stimulus. Receiving condemnatory letters is a common experience in a newspaper office; but it is not a frequent thing to be the recipients of letters such as this writer has provided. The letter: 778 Irving St., N.W., Washington, D. C. November 11, 1925 Editor The Washington Tribune: I wish to commend the Washington Tribune for its fine appearance in its new make-up. We are all proud of it, and wish more power to it. Especially pleasing is J. A. Jackson's "My People and Other Folks." He is hitting straight from the shoulder at ours for our "leaving undone the things we should do, and for doing the things we should not do" without fear or favor, which is as it should be. More power to him, too. We approve of you hitting the writers of the Rhinelander trial on their contemptible efforts to belittle our Race by siyly and insidiously referring to her in other than her rightful terms. For—as the Tribune contends—until a divorce is granted, she is still Mrs. Alice Beatrice Rhinelander. Not Alice Beatrice Jones. Very truly yours, WM. A. WILKERSON, Jr. FROM AN ADVERTISER November 30, 1925 Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Dear Sirs: The pulling power of your paper has certainly been revealed to me. Since Friday afternoon, I have been busy answering inquiries from people who were interested in the five-inch double column advertisement that appeared in your last issue. It had been my intention to run it for several weeks, but the number of replies to the one insertion will in all probability make the later advertising unnecessary. I expected results, but the results were many times more than my expectations. Yours, (Signed) S. H. DUDLEY. OPEN FORUM To the Editor: The Rhinelander squabble makes one wonder how many undiscovered similar cases there may be. Whether one knows it or not the racial blending has been going on at a rapid rate. There will probably be a few parties to matrimonial contracts that will in view of the Rhinelander affair give notice of suspected or existing colored blood but far the greater number will prefer losing a detrimental racial identity. Dozens of scientists abroad in the land are proving that the colored people in the United States, like the colored people in Brazil, are being absorbed. Wherever in history majority and minority groups have lived in close proximity, either one race disappeared entirely or affected a blend with the other race. The swarthiness of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and Spanish, and the nearness in type of Russians and Mongolians, French and German living on border lines give sufficient evidence. In future generations not so far removed, the newspaper comments about the Rhinelander episode will be looked upon as an interesting turning point in the public opinion of today. Respectfully. (Signed) E. B. HENDERSON. Fells, Church, No A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS THE RHINELANDER CASE THE CALL OF THE BLOOD We heard a colored woman say, not many days ago: "Kip Rhinelander takes after somebody, and 'taint the neighbors either." The Rhinelander case certainly presents an anomalous situation. A Huguenot scion lives in social favor, and his name is carried in the Blue Book, regardless of the fact that he lived in shameful prostitution and gadded about with a colored woman. As soon as he made the woman his lawful wife, his name was dropped from the social register and he was haled into court by his father, who could not break up their cohabitation but enters suit to break up their marital relation. The father is fighting to save the Rhinelander name. If the former relationship of his son did not besmirch it forever the latter course cannot purge it—NEVER. The Negro Race has always had its Cleopatras. One of them charmed and chained Anthony, whose blood was as pure and whose aspirations were as high as are those of any Huguenot. But love and passion defy all laws, walls, barriers, customs and traditions. To these mighty conquerors, there are no Alps, no race, no nation. They encircle the earth, and they live in hell. It is not surprising, therefore, that George Jones, the yardman, married Mary Smith, the cook, and that Alice, their poorly educated daughter, who lives with her parents in a shack, married Kip Rhinelander, the millionaire renegade. Truly, love is a peculiar bird. She lights where she wills. Since it is a human weakness to try to explain the unexplainable, suppose we waste a little time telling the truth about this anomalous procedure. White people who make social excursions into the Negro Race, and even those who peek over the Negro fence with lustful eyes, must not forget that impulses and maternal instincts write what they feel on the souls of their progeny. Due wholly to social excursions and lustful peeking, the white and colored races have become inextricably entangled. No court annulment can eradicate the sensuality or cleanse the Rhinelander blood of its fetidness. The law is fighting an inheritance of blood veneered only by wealth and color. If the Ethiopian cannot change his skin or the leopard his spots, neither can white and colored people whose parents ate sour grapes keep their children's teeth from being on edge. The whites who deposit offspring in the Negro Race, and the Negroes who deposit black offspring in the white race and thereby transmit color if not capacity, should not be surprised when the iniquities of the fathers are visited upon the children to the third and fourth generations. Because of social excursions into the two races, Negro blood is flowing hotly through supposed Anglo-Saxon veins, and Anglo-Saxon blood is flowing redly through supposed Negro veins. The blood in each is too hot and too red for the most erudite ethnologist to distinguish it. Therefore, Negroes disappear and take up their abode in the white Race every day, carrying their Negro blood with them. God alone can stop it, and He would doubtless have to station an angel to guard the gate through which white MUSIC FORUM BY WELLINGTON ADAMS New York—The Board of Trustees of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., 139 West 136th Street, have presented to the school and the family of the late David I. Martin, a lifesized oil painting, painted by the artist Edwin A. Harleston, to be unveiled Wednesday, December 9, at 8 p.m., in the Great Hall of the College of the City of New York, 139th Street and Convent Avenue, New York City. The Martin-Smith Music School and the North Harlem Community Council of which Mr. Martin was an active member unite in a joint memorial. Mr. Martin was one of the outstanding figures in the Negro Life of the City of New York and to him do the majority of children and others who have accomplished some good things along musical lines owe their inspiration. He was founder of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., Director of the former School Settlement, President of the New York Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, a member of New Amsterdam Musical Association, the Cefl Club, the North Harlem Community Council, President of Parents' Association P.S. 89, League E of the Letter Carriers Association, Hotel Bellman's Beneficial League, Celestial Lodge No. 3, F. & A.

JOHNSON-GORDON RECITAL Composer Plays for Singing of Newly Arranged Negro Spirituals J. Rosamond Johnson played his latest arrangements of American Ne- excursionists enter the Negro Race, just as He put an angel to guard Eden to prevent a second fall. God is not going to station an angel at the white man's entrance to the Negro Eden, nor is He going to station an angel at the Negro's entrance to the white man's Eden. God is not going to do it—and man cannot do it. Laws, court decrees, social attitude, only stimulate the desire to eat forbidden fruit. Negroes peek through the fence into the white Race and see them having such a glorious time and a chance to work anywhere with the privilege of going everywhere, and realize that they are excluded on the more score of color. Those of the Alice Jones type, looking on, decide that since color is the only passport, and they have that, they are going in—and they go. White Negroes are marrying, associating with, sleeping under the same roof, eating at the same table, and sharing all of the privileges and blessings reserved for white white people only. Hundreds of men and women of the colorde Race have passed into the white Race undiscovered and unchallenged. Who is to blame? The white man of course. First, because he gives to the Negro Race the color that enables them to pass, and he gives, in many instances, a Race consciousness that makes them lean Anglo-Saxonward. Second, the white man is responsible because he loads the Negro ship with injustice, segregation, ignorance and lynchings. The ship is so heavily loaded that many of those who are on board think it is going to sink. Those who can escape do so. Even rats desert a sinking ship. The white Race cannot come into another race and deposit its offspring, and expect to escape all of the embarrassments and burdens incident to such cohabitation. Rhinelander with all of his color and money—without morals, and Alice Jones with all of her color—without character, are both persona non grata so far as the Negro Race is concerned. The Negro doesn't want color without capacity, and he doesn't want characterless color. sooafn "pooq oj sauow nj naqn are just as "choice" as the Rhinelanders. What is not good enough for them is too bad for us. We do not want them nor their money. People of the Rhinelander-Jones type will have to organize themselves into a terminus quid Race. Unless God puts them asunder, Kip and Alice are going to get together and annul the annulment. It takes no social seer to tell you that Alice Jones has Kip Rhinelander chained about her neck, and all the king's horses and all the king's men cannot pull them asunder. Kip and Alice are answering the call of the blood on both sides. One isn't any better than the other, by birth or breeding. They are two of a kind. To ask, "Who did this sin, this man or his parents?" will not keep those two hearts from beating as one. Self-respecting Negroes have but one wish and that is they wish that white renegades could find social satisfaction in their own Race and let Negro women alone. Two hundred and fifty years of that sort of mix-up were enough for us, and should have satisfied and shamed a Race that purports to be superior. gro "Spirituals" sung by the young Taylor Gordon with something of the untaught simplicity of elder days to a brilliant audience at the Garrick Theatre last evening. A new generation of "jubilee" singers, gifted with higher art and education, has not effaced the moving charm of plaintive voices echoing the old slave days. It is Taylor Gordon's distinction to recall today that former character of humble folk music in tones of high range and untechnical human appeal. Among the sixteen songs from "Go Down, Moses" to "Father Abraham," the arrangements included many favorites, such as "Every Time I Feel de Spirit" and, in one instance, a version of "No Hidin' Place Down There," by Lawrence Brown, known here as accompanist to Roland Hayes—New York Times. FRANK HARRISON, BARRYTONE, AND LYDIA MASON, PIANIST, GIVE JOINT RECTAL Frank Harrison, baritone, and Lydia Mason, pianist, appeared in joint recital in the auditorium of the junior high school for girls (P. S. 139) at St. Nicholas Avenue and 133th Street on Friday evening, November 20, under auspices of the Citizens' Forum, and the two fire young artists gave an entertainment of unusual charm. Mr. Harrison's voice is rich and lucious, and he has cultivated a skilled artistry in the use of it. He graduated from the Howard University Conservatory of Music and pursued later courses of study under Oscar Saenger and Myron Whitney in New York City. Temperament and striking personality, with a cultured intelligence, are qualities which add to the pleasure and interest engendered by Mr. Harrison's singing. Possessed of ample vocal power, there is a commendable and desirable restraint which brings to the singer's offering one of its most pleasing elements—an agreeable and satisfactory developing of nuances and dynamic contrasts.

About a year ago through Attorney Dudley’s efforts, the Church Extension Department acquired a small apart- ment at 1731 T Street. Since assum- ing his new post Attorney Dudley has done much to bring this department of the Zion Church to the front as the most efficient of the various de- partments. Last summer he made an extensive trip to Florida to investi- gate the holdings of his connection in that_state where real estate values have gone to heights never dreamed of. Many pieces of church property there shared in this sudden and tre- mendous increase in land values. The sale and financing of the sale was handled by Mortimer M.

Clark, carpenter and building contractor, at six-thirty this evening. The flames had gotten such a headway that it was impossible to reach the second floor where the fire started. All of the household effects including clothes, valuable papers and records connected with the contracting business, and the effects of two roomers in the home, were lost. The fire burned so rapidly that it was only possible for the people who came to assist the stricken family, to save the barn, horse, wagon and car.

There may be a few organizations overlooked which is due to the rush. All of these organizations will be at- F. SPRIGGS, attended to at the Convention. All are welcome to attend the Sessions.

Funeral Directors and Undertakers' Establishment wishes to announce to our many patrons and friends that during the eight years that we have been in business our slogan has been and still is "Efficiency and Service." As to our efficiency and service during that time, we can refer you to those families who have been our patrons in their hour of great distress. We have never made or attempted to make the price of our funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve. We think that every normal family knows better what it wants to spend and is able to spend on its deceased loved ones, than any disinterested undertaker could know; therefore we leave the subject of cost entirely up to you. We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want to make it.

Sweet Case to be Retried Early in Jan. motion that all eleven defendants be admitted to bail. New trial has been agreed upon for the first week in January. Eight of the defendants were at once admitted to bail on $5000 each which was furnished by colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three, led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday, December 2, for argument. Mr. White will return to Detroit in time for argument for bail for these three defendants who will be held until then: Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris. Contrary to published reports in the daily press, Mr. Darrow has not yet asked for separate trials for each of the eleven defendants but he announced that he probably would do so. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in connection with the news of the disagreement and the motion for a new trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to until the eleven colored people were acquitted. Mr. White stated that the expenses of the trial to date had been about $20,000, the transcript of testimony alone costing $2,081.60. "One of the most impressive sights I have ever seen," declared Mr. White, "was the way in which colored people in Detroit flocked to the trial. At half after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, when the jury was still arguing and sent out for instructions, the courtroom was packed. At 2:10 in the morning, when the jury was sent to bed, bailiffs had to make way through the crowd for the jurymen. All Thanksgiving Day colored people remained waiting and watching, many of them going without Thanksgiving dinner in order to be on hand. "I want to pay a tribute to the magnificent way in which Judge Murphy conducted the trial. He did his utmost to exclude the issue of race prejudice and his final charge to the jury was a masterpiece of scholarly learning and judicial impartiality. "The case has largely changed public sentiment in Detroit. The better class opinion is now with the defendants, although the Klan is of course more bitter than ever. But the N. A. A. C. P. will continue to fight the case and both Messrs. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays will continue to lead the defense until a conclusion has been reached." Mrs. M. D. Builer Recovers and Entertains Mrs. Fannie Sumner and Mr. W. K. Phelps of Newport News, Va., were Thanksgiving guests of Mrs. M. D. Butler of 1752 T Street, Northwest. While here, they were married. Mrs. Sumner is well known in her city as a social worker. Mr. Phelps is a prominent business man. Mrs. Ruppert Lloyd of Pheobus, Va., accompanied Mrs. Sumner to this city. This was Mrs. Butler's first social activity since she was taken ill with neuritis a month ago. She, is now fully enough recovered to again be about. 1910 When you deal with us no one need know the cost of your funeral, but yourself. Young Washington Woman Addresses N. C. State Teachers The annual session of the North Carolina Negr oTeachers met with A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C., November 25 to 27. A large number of teachers attended. There were speakers from all over the state and from other states as well, including Dr. Daniel H. Kulp, Columbia University. The "Teaching of Language in the Primary Grades" was discussed by Miss Maude V. Walker, a teacher in the county training school, Wilkesboro, N. C. The subject was so well discussed by Miss Walker that the teachers asked that her speech be published so that other teachers might use it for reference. Although Miss Walker was the youngest speaker in age and experience, she made an excellent showing. She is a graduate from Miner Normal School, Washington, D.C., 1924, her home town. This is Miss Walker's second year teaching in the state of North Carolina including one summer school session. Thanksgiving Party Professor W. B. Edelin, A.M. Principal of N. N. I.

GOODS PURCHASED NOW STORED UNTIL CHRISTMAS markable address which surprised and charmed me. I was not expecting such a rare specimen and genuine oratory. Her words and her sentences were really classic, her thoughts were informing and inspiring, her enthusiasm was genuine and catching, and her religious fervor and vision were the most important part of her unusual address, which was meant as a clarion call to her people. She spoke without a note, but her address was evidently very carefully prepared. She spoke of the new day for the Ngro in this country, the resultant heavy responsibility and how to meet it. "The last third of her address was an earnest appeal to her people to appreciate their spiritual opportunity and responsibility. 'I am not speaking now of the financial side of our life or even of the educational, as important as these are, but of the spiritual, the preaching of the gospel to our people in every corner of this great land, to save our own people and then to do our full part for the salvation of America, our home, our native land, for we are Americans." "Her address made a deep impression on the great audience, but especially on the more intelligent and spiritual ones. She had clear vision as well as real religious enthusiasm and her thoughts and words were telescopes to some of us. I seldom hear anything better anywhere, from anybody, and it was a pleasure to tell her so. "She is not a mulatto with the white blood dominating, but the genuine African brown type, and hence her race should have the full credit for all she is and for all she is doing. "The concert is a great success in every way, in number, in music, in speeches, in good order, in income and in great satisfaction to the Negro Baptists of Baltimore. It was late when I got to bed, but echoes of music and oratory followed me through the night, and gave me pleasant dreams and restful sleep."

J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE S. H. Dudley, Veteran Theatre Man, Makes Pertinent Statement C. A. U. HEAD ASSERTS THAT DAYS OF INDEPENDENT BOOKINGS ARE GONE Earnestly Pleads with Actors to Unionize for the Sake of the Craft When S. H. Dudley, the garnd old man of the Negro show world, makes a statement, the actors and managers sit up and take notice. Here he makes a few pertinent statements of immediate interest to those actors who for one reason or another fail to see the need of unity. Those who are successful so far think that they can ignore the idea of unionizing, those who are down and out look to the Union for help—they promise, when they get help from the Union, that they will become Union members and union boosters. Some keep their promises but the majority do not. If you are an independent, you will do well to read what "Uncle Dud" has to say; you may then realize the chaotic condition to which your attitude toward unionizing is drifting you. To you who are within the fold—it will tend to awaken more interest in that which you should feel to be of the most interest to you and to your profession. Mr. Dudley rose from the file in to the foremost ranks of the profession. What he says is as a golden nugget due from the earth. He asserts: "The day has gone when an act or a show can book independently and make money. There is very little money for the actors to realize under the present conditions even if they are booked on the circuits. No money can be made wild-catting—playing independent. There are no theatres that keep their doors open trying to book independent attractions. "Why? Because, if it is a real live manager who means to pay off—and if his house is not a dead one it would be on a circuit. The same applies to the actors, if they really had the goods they would not have to wild-cat, they would be booked solid on a circuit. "Do you know of any good show that is a box office attraction losing more than two or three weeks on a season? Wake up, Mr. Actor, and get in right. Mr. Manager, you who think you can book your house and keep it open playing a company on percentage—your time is limited. Why not let an agent book for you and keep your house open? Of course you can get attractions now and then, but the jumps will kill the actors financially, and sooner or later they will not play for you at all. "There are some managers who will play any show on percentage but who refuse to give a guarantee, or pay a flat salary. Beware of these kinds. If their houses could make money they would pay a salary to the ordinary show, and gamble with the big shows that demand more than these managers think they can afford to pay. "There is not one good show on a circuit that would refuse to play on percentage if a house is large enough, because it has been proven that they make more on percentage where work is consecutive and railroads jumps are short—quit kidding yourself and get on the circuit and make money. "There is money in the show business for worthy acts but bad management is predominating and that is the cause of the present condition in the colored show world. It is time that we rectify this predicament. It can be done if you will only be advised by those who know. "Join the Colored Actors Union and Get Protection." Johnny Lee Long's DIXIANA Co. is playing in the Tidewater district, according to a letter from Herman Brown, comic.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5 Big Show For Week of December 13th, Change of Policy Announced by Howard Manager Big Show For Week of December 13th, Change of Policy Announced by Howard Manager Ethel Waters to Close House Repairs to Be Made During Holiday Weeks. To Be Re-opened With Stock Co. Ethel Waters and her Revue composed of the forces that supported her in the famous Plantation Room in New York together with one of Bill Vodery's big orchestras and a strong name value group of bigtime vaudevillians, have been booked into the Howard Theatre for the week of December 15. At the close of the engagement of the record star and her company the house will be closed for two weeks during which a number of repairs and a complete overhauling will be made to the theater. Lee Lash and a staff is coming into the theater with a completely new scenic investiture, new doors are being installed and considerable repainting is to be done during the holiday closing period. The house is to be re-opened early in January with a stock musical comedy or barrlesque company. Leo Stevens, who for some years put on the shows at the State-Conress Theater, Chicago, is coming to Washington to take charge of a company that Jimmie Cooper is assembling in New York to present a change of bill weekly in the Howard. Frank Montgomery, Leonard Harper and Sam Salvin, according to Mr.-Cooper, are selecting the people for the show, and he promises some startling attractions. Just how Washington will take to the new type of show, in the face of similar previous experiences is problematic. The publicity concerning the new move was released in New York prior to the news being made public in this city, and considerable space in Harlem publications was accorded Mr. Cooper and his project. It is known that the Ethel Waters engagement is more of a spite proposition than otherwise as the period covered is that during which Jack Reid's "Black and White Revue" with Drake and Walker as the colored contingent is being presented at the Gayety Theater by the Columbia Burlesque Circuit. Cooper once operated that title on the Columbia circuit, and has little love for the attraction that goes into the segregated house down town, hence has gone to considerable expense to present a show that will offset its draw. The Waters organization did a "stand-up" business at the Lafayette Theater, New York last week, and is being reported on as drawing heavily at the Dunbar, Philadelphia this week. Sam Salvin, manager of the Plantation Room, and Earl Dancer are in charge of the attraction. It is said to be a rich production in several ways. The price of the first seventeen rows of seats has been raised to 83 cents for Ethel Water's engagement, due Mr. Coper explained, to the necessity of guaranteeing Sam Salvin $3,000 for the attraction. A NEW NUMBER ON COLUMBIA Phil Worde, song writer, is busy in the Gayety Theater Building in the Perry Bradford office where he is professional manager. He has had charge of the recordings of Sippie Wallace, Sarah Martin and Laura Smith, and of Perry Bradford's Jazz Hounds. Miss Martin just made some new records last week for the Columbia people. She placed "Give me just a little of your time," Phil's latest composition. BUFFALO BARS CHARLESTON Buffalo, N.

This is a fast, snappy revue feturing the famous star at her best and without a doubt it is on a par with anything that has ever been shown at the Lafayette Theatre. There is a new dancing team which was seen last week, "Wheaton and Walker," two boys. They are very clever. Johnny Hudgins has resumed work after an extended illness and is seen nightly tying the show up at the Club Alabam. On Thanksgiving Day the musicians fed five-hundred-ninety children at Happy Rhones Club. It was a wonderful sight to see the little fellows marching down the street headed by a brass band which was furnished by Mr. Chas, Thorpe. Henderson's Collegians journeyed to Asbury Park on Thanksgiving Day. The crowd was well pleased and they are requested to play a return engagement. This band of young musicians from Wilberforce University have just returned from another New England tour playing exclusively in the finest white dance halls in the East. Lew Henry and his orchestra opened at the Frontenac Grill Monday of this week. This band has been together for the last nine months working at the Epinard Club, only closing when the place was padlocked for violation of the eighteenth amendment. Clara Smith was in New York recently recording. She left Saturday for Cincinnati. A number of the artists who have been abroad with Sam Wooding and his orchestra returned to New York this week, amongst them was "Jap Branch."

A. U. Meeting Drew Big Crowd, Wooden in Chain There was a special meeting of the Colored Actors Union held in the parlor of the Summit Hotel on Sunday, November 19, about fifty professionals, largely members of travelling companies playing in Washington were present. There was delegations from both the "Hello Dixie" and the "Shufflin" Sam from Alabam" shows present. Telfair Washington, secretary opened the meeting by calling former President Henry Wooden to the chair. In a brief but well thought out speech, Mr. Wooden told the members and their friends of the needs of the show folks and how to improve conditions. He was candid and logical in his remarks. Gus Smith of the "Hello Dixie" show was next called upon and he confirmed much that Mr. Wooden had said supplementing the advice with considerable that was equally new and good. J. A. Jackson of the Tribune was called upon for a few breif remarks. Boots Hope followed to make an introduction of the current issue of the Messenger magazine, the November issue which contains a story of the Union and its work. NEGRO TROUPE BARRED FROM RUSSIA. According to news cabled to the Chicago Daily News, the colored musical comedy troupe that Arthur Lyons sent to Germany sometime since; and that has had a more or less stormy time in Europe, some of the members returning to the United States, have been engaged to play a series of dates in Leningrad, and other Russian cities. The same source of information states that Moscow has placed a ban against the appearance of the show, not on the basis of color line or because of opposition to foreign artists; but because the company is being offered under the guise of Opera and had thus been contracted under false premises.
