And they have little chance of resisting the injustice of the powerful whose only weapons are innocence and reason."—Aesop: Moral attached to the fable of the Wolf and the Lamb. The Washington Public school system, like Vesuvius and other active volcanoes has its periodic eruptions. One is now in progress. For picturesqueness, the eruption is far superior to Vesuvius; for intrigue and subtlety, the manifestation offers more romance than does the most enthralling novel of the romantic era; and for baffling mysteries and conflicting currents of intrigue and passions aroused, the Chinese Hip Sing Tong has nothing on the (Hip) tongs that prevail in school circles. In an investigation of the causes leading up to the strike of Armstrong pupils, provoked by the threat of removal of their principal, there may be found more complications than our fourth division of the State department encountered when it tried to keep informed on European politics during the period prior to the war. There is a heavy cloak of mystery surrounding the whole matter that none in official authority cares to lift, even a corner, lest more escape than is needful for the purpose in hand. The Tribune is tugging at this covering, and hopes to bring to light enough of the hidden secrets to at least let the public know what motives are behind the losses they are obliged to endure in the defective training of their children that must ensue from the breakdown of discipline and morale in the system in mid-season. Perhaps the Board of Education and its administrative officers are right in removing teachers and principals at will. Perhaps the ends justify the drastic changes that interrupt the service for which board, officers and staff alike are paid; and perhaps the inefficiency that is so often charged actually (at times) exists. But, if this be so, then is not the same governing authorities at fault, if they can not know before, or after, each school term the degree of efficiency of each subaltern, especially of those whom they declare that they have been observing for "two years or more." The Tribune will not attack persons, save where individuals must be mentioned to convey clear descriptions of conditions in our schools. It is the system that must be explained, if parents and pupils would know the conditions under which a competent and efficient educator must maintain his position in the District of Columbia. Any consideration of the Public School system of Washington must take into consideration the cross currents of interest that create swirls and whirlpools of practice. The Board of Education is subject to unseen influences that are difficult to resist. This is especially true of the Negro membership in that body. We suffer greatly from the fact that our members are the creatures of the interests that place and sponsor them. It seems that so far the appointing powers have been unable to find membership material for that body that truly represents the parents whose children attend the schools. Very seldom, indeed, is an appointment of a race member of the board made which does not at once suggest that some influence has been dominant other than an abiding interest in the welfare of the people. Very often the controlling influence is so obvious as to excite derisive if bitter comment. With this situation in mind, one need not be a seer to see that no member of the Board of Education need be keenly alive to Negro interests, unless that interest happens to be of a purely personal character. Certainly there is no need to be fearful of Negro opinion since Negro influence plays little part in their naming. Another story goes on our structure. We are a romantic people. Our hearts go out one to the other. Love creeps into the hearts of the most austere. It comes unbidden, but it comes and must be reckoned with. Conventions to the contrary, it has always been the practice of man since before the days of Cleopatra and Lucrezia Borgia, yea even in the days of John the Baptist, for men to do the bidding of the mistress who smiled upon them even though she demanded a head in recompense for her smiles or favors or influence. This phase would be beautifully romantic, were it not so tragic in its results to the decapitated ones, whose heads pay the price of a woman's vanity or vengeance or other debts. The structure is complete when we recognize the natural desire that is found in the human breast to have the profitable jobs, to take charge of big things after the construction period is passed. Once upon a time, no academic teacher would have demeaned his or her dignity with Armstrong school except when ordered there as a punishment or humiliation. It was the Botany Bay of our school system. But now that this institution has become a thing of beauty, functioning smoothly and basking in the lime light of educational journal publicity, and meeting all competition, all want it. With the foregoing as a basis for one's thoughts, the mind is prepared for a proper consideration of the case of Arthur C. Newman, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school who has been recommended for removal. Under the practice prevailing, the Assistant Superintendent in charge of colored schools must be the person to institute any proceeding involving the efficiency of a member of his organization. However, he being the creature of the Board could not be expected to do other than endeavor to "find a way" when one or more members of the board indicated a desire to get rid of an officer recalcitrant to their wishes. To do otherwise would be to antagonize the powers in control of his position. It was not a pleasant situation to find one's self in, but self-preservation must prevail over even so close a friendship as has hitherto existed between Professor Newman and the aforesaid Assistant Superintendent. Principal Newman has been accused of "inefficiency," based it seems on allegations of: "improper business administration," and "lack of correct educational program" or "failure to carry out a proper program." These are serious complaints, but the administration officials decline to term these "charges": and, thereby hangs the tale. That is the crux of the whole matter. "Charges" connote the legal right to a public hearing, and that is not wanted. The Public with loud voice asks, WHY? Here lies the big public interest.

Newman Made over Vigorous Protest; Action Deliberately Planned A resolution from the ParentTeachers Association of Armstrong endorsing the administration of Captain Newman was read. This resolution referred to the meeting of the PUBLISHED WEEKLY DEFIES Unanimous Public Appeal for Justice Fails to Stir even Negro Members of the Board Resentment over Big Stick Methods of the Board very Pronounced By Louis B. Lautier The Board of Education at its meeting on Wednesday afternoon unanimously voted to demote Captain Arthur C. Newman from principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to military instructor, at a salary loss of $1,300 a year. His successor was not appointed. This demotion becomes effective the first of February. When informed of the action of the board, Captain Newman refused to comment or to state what course he would pursue. He said that he had not yet received official notice of the action of the board, but when he did so he would take it as he had all other orders—as a good soldier. He expressed his gratification at the spirit manifested by the students and faculty of the Armstrong Technical High School, and parents and citizens generally, in protesting against his demotion from the time it was first proposed until the board finally acted. After routine matters had been disposed of at the board meeting, Wednesday afternoon, Superintendent Frank W. Ballou began his report with a detailed statement concerning the recent student "strike" at the Armstrong Technical High School which occurred after the students had learned of the proposed demotion of Captain Newman. Investigation Upon motion of Charles F. Carusi, the board voted that a thorough investigation be made by the school authorities into this recent strike, and that it be especially inquired into whether or not any person connected with the public school system had any part directly or indirectly in encouraging the action of the students. The investigating school officials are to report their findings to the board. The board granted permission to representatives of the James E. Walker Post of the American Legion, the Baptist Ministerial Association and the Armstrong Alumni Association to appear before it in behalf of Captain Newman. Manning Johnson, president of the Student Council of the Armstrong Technical High School sought permission to speak on behalf of the Armstrong students. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, a member of the board, objected. He declared that he felt that the board ought to hear the parents of students at Armstrong, but did not believe that the students had any right to appear before the board. He took the position that the students were not qualified to speak on the subject of the demotion of their principal. Speak for Newman The first speaker in behalf of Captain Newman was Lieutenant Frank Coleman who represented the American Legion Post. He was followed by Captain Campbell C. Johnson, who proposed that action be deferred by the board until the end of the present school year. Major West A. Hamilton concluded the remarks for the post. Simeon Cunningham spoke for the Anmstrong Alumni Association. He charged that the action of the board in demoting Captain Newman to a military instructor was inconsistent with the charge that he could not maintain discipline. The Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, pastor of Mount Moriah Baptist Church; the Rev. J. S. L. Holloman, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, and the Rev. W. D. Jarvis, pastor of the New Bethel Baptist Church, on behalf of the Baptist Ministerial Association, urged the retention of Captain Newman in the principalship. (Continued on page 5) WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926 MarcusGarvey Inquiry Asked Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, presented last week in the Senate a petition numerously signed by citizens of Madison, Illinois, praying that an inquiry be made into the case of Marcus Garvey, who was convicted on a charge of using the mails to defraud and sent to the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., for five years. The petition was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Garvey is to be deported upon the expiration of his sentence. MAN JAILED FOR ALIMONY James Selden Weaver must serve 90 days in jail for failure to pay alimony. Through Attorney George E. C. Hayes, his wife, Dora Weaver, had him cited to show cause last Saturday why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court for his failure to comply with an order of the court requiring him to pay his wife $14 a month for the support of herself and three children. Weaver was $270 in arrears. He was found guilty and Justice Siddons ordered him committed to jail for 90 days. His wife is suing him for a limited divorce. NAT. T. TISDALE PASSES AWAY Nathaniel T. Tisdale, for 35 years an employee of the Government Printing Office, died at Freedmen's Hospital after severl months illness. Sunday January 10th. The body was shipped back to his native home, Bellemina, Ala., for burial by John T. Rhines Company. Mr. Tisdale was born in Alabama 70 years ago.

He came to Washington 35 years ago and went to work in the Government Printing Office, where he was assigned to the press room. He accumulated considerable money during his life time. He died a few days after his retirement. He is survived by a brother, a sister and a nephew, Robert Pryor, who came to Washington to claim the body. During the early reconstruction period, Mr. Tisdale was a member of the City Council of Decatur and was a political leader in that section. He took a prominent part in the Civil War, fighting under the Union colors.

Armstrong StudentsReturn to their Classes to Await Further Developments in the Case MEETINGS DRAW BIG CROWDS Intervention by Captain Newman is Cause of Strike Ending About eighty per cent of the students of the Armstrong School, who went on "strike" last Friday morning as a protest against the recommended demotion of their principal, Captain Arthur C. Newman, returned to their classes Monday morning in deference to his wishes. Captain Newman addressed the students at a mass meeting held in his interest at the Dunbar Theatre Sunday afternoon and importuned them to return to their classes. They agreed, but officers of the Student Council, who engineered the strike, indicated that if Captain Newman is demoted by the board of education at its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, the students will strike again. The student leaders made it plain, that they returned to school Monday only to show the board that Captain Newman could maintain discipline. The strike of the students was precipitated by the action of the committee of the whole of the board of education. It met in secret session on Wednesday evening, January 13, and authorized Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, to inform Captain Newman that a recommendation would be submitted to the board of education at its regular meeting, Wednesday afternoon, demoting him from principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to the rank of a military instructor, which would entail a loss of $1,300 a year in salary. Committee Action This committee action was based on a recommendation by Mr. Wilkinson. The reasons were not made public, but it was at first hinted that Captain Newman lacked educational qualifications under the merit system of rating teachers and principals. Later, however, when public interest became aroused, Mr. Wilkinson issued a statement in which he said that his recommendation for the demotion of Captain Newman "was based upon a study initiated because of numerous complaints from members of the school administration, from members of the faculty of the Armstrong Technical High School, and from the public itself." Mr. Wilkinson said that, after a study of conditions at Armstrong extending over a period of months, he found "that the administration of the Armstrong Technical High School was unsatisfactory in regard to its business management in regard to the matter of school discipline, and that it was unsatisfactory in regard to educational administration." Students Sign Protest The Student Council of the School had its installation of officers Thursday at a general assembly of the whole school. In their remarks at the installation exercises, nearly every officer of the Student Council referred with regret to the proposed action of the board of education. Rufus P. Turner, a student, introduced a resolution describing the regard of the students for Captain Newman and protesting against the committee action. This was unanimously received by the body. For an hour after dismissal, the students stood in line awaiting an opportunity to sign the petition to be sent to the Board of Education. At school time Friday morning, there was a general air of excitement among the students with a converging toward the assembly hall. The officers of the Student Council were granted permission to hold a meeting. After cautioning them against any such radical steps as a strike, Captain Newman notified them that upon the ringing of the bell they were to pass immediately to their first recitation. When the bell rang, instead of going to recitations, the pupils left the build- (Continued on page 5) PUBLIC OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. General Organizer A. Phillip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in response to a long distance inquiry by the Tribune, said "That the announced withdrawal of Mr. Mays of the International Association of Railway Employees from the Pullman Porter's Association sounds odd in view of the fact that Mr. Mays has never been a member of the Union, hence could not withdraw." (Mr. May's telegram announcing the withdrawal is published on the back page of this issue of the Tribune.) NEVAL H. THOMAS AGAIN HEADS THE LOCAL N.A.A.C.P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People local of Washington, D. C., held its annual meeting on January 15, and re-elected all of the officers for another term by unanimous vote. Neval H. Thomas continues as president. A. S. Pinkett remains secretary of the militant organization; and Garnet C. Wilkinson NEVAL H. THOMAS is again treasurer, L. M. Hershaw and Mrs. F. G. Merrit become members of the board two of whose members retire each year. The continuing members of the board are George W. Cook, Mrs. Madre Marshall, Mrs. Ella Lynch and George Parker, Mrs. Marion Butler is assistant secretary. The chairman of the executive board who functions as vice-president will be elected by the board at its session this week. The annual report of the secretary disclosed that the body had engaged in battle during the year with nearly every branch of the government; had raised the $2,000 quota for the New York headquarters and had raised more than a thousand dollars for the Sweet fund. These sums were apart from the sum of $1500 that Mrs. Jennie Richardson McGuire presented to the local as chairman of the Women's Movement in a very pretty speech in which she paid tribute to the branch for its service to the community. This sum is being added to the Sweet Defense Fund. The Defense fund report is given in detail in a separate story in this issue of the Tribune. Mrs. Milton Francis, chairman of the Ladies' Service group, a local auxiliary that each year gives entertainments for the Association, presented the local branch with a check for $3: delivering with it a very fine address of appreciation for the local. Treasurer Garnet C. Wilkinson in his report gave as the year's surplus $360 to which the Service check of $375 must be added to give the exact total on hand. Mr. James Cobb delivered an address that was virtually a report of the presentation of the segregation case of Helen Curtis to the U. S. Supreme Court by Morefield Storey and Louis Marshall. Neval Thomas introduced to the body Mrs. Ella Rush Murray, the woman who defied Alice Paul and other white leaders of the Women's Suffrage Party when they tried to exclude colored women from the councils of that party. Mrs. Murray is now a national director of the N. A. A. C. P. Hallie Q. Brown was called upon and delivered a narrative of her fight in the auditorium when she exposed American prejudice to the women of the world. William Davis, one of the Detroit martyrs was presented and was introduced to the local by President Thomas. Davis is a Washington boy. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS MASONIC TEMPLE RECOMMENDED TO BE SOLD The sale of the unfinished Masonic Temple building at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, was recommended to the court in a report filed Monday by a committee appointed by Justice Hitz on May 12, 1925, for the purpose of negotiating a loan in an amount sufficiently large to liquidate existing indebtedness and complete the erection of the building. This report was signed by Alexander Wolf, William L. Houston, Charles P. Ford, Herbert L. Davis and Jesse H. Mitchell. Justice Hitz signed an order Wednesday relieving them from further duties under their appointment and discharging them. The committee reported that the structure should not be permitted to remain in its unfinished state not only on account of the possibility of danger to life and limb but also because the affairs of the New Masonic Hall Corporation are in such shape and the conditions existing are of such a nature that the corporation is unable to proceed further with the construction of the building. The committee therefore suggested to the court that unless some showing can be made within a reasonable time that funds will be available to the New Masonic Hall Corporation or some other proper showing how the building can be financed and completed, the persons involved in the court litigation should consider the early sale of the property. The committee reported that they were unable to secure a loan on the property. Persons who were able to make the loan were deterred by the (Continued on page 5) WOMEN'SDEFENSE FUND REPORT MADE PUBLIC Mrs. Jennie Richardson McGuire as general chairman of the drive conducted by the women of Washington for the purpose of raising money with which to fight the cases of attempts at segregation, has given out the following report of the financial results of various contributions, activities and pledges secured by the drive which extended over the week of December 22, opening with a mass meeting at the John Wesley Church. When interviewed, Mrs. McGuire stated that the committee forwarded to the N. A. A. C. P., through its local branch, a check for $1500 which represents the net amount received to date. There are, unredeemed pledges unredeemed pledges still outstanding a statement of which will be given to the public at an early date. The report of the amounts and the source from which derived are from mass meeting, $466.44; contributions, $191.93; redeemed pledges, $65; activities, $840.43; totalling $1562.80. At the mass meeting the sum of $795.44 was raised in cash contributions and pledges. The pledges paid to date amount to $65, leaving the unredeemed pledges still outstanding to the amount of $264 which when added to the amount reported in cash will give the total of money reported as the result of the mass meeting. will be observed that over a half the amount realized came as proceeds from the different activities, all of which were under the direction or supervision of a committee on activities which was headed by Mrs. S. D. Savoy. The following excerpt from the general report shows the activities and the sums realized from each: Card party promoted by Mrs. A. C. Burwell, Mrs. Jeannette Baltimore and Mrs. Ellen Brown, $65. Apron activity, directed by Mrs. Benjamin Washington, conducted by the Thursday Evening Sewing Circle, $91.07. Sale of candy, directed by Mrs. Angela Bishop, conducted by the Wi-Mo-Maís Club, $106. Rummage sale, directed by Mrs. Milton Francis, assisted by the Blue Bird Club and Ladies Service Group, $40.

Use of eggs in thickening. a. When egg is mixed with liquid and heated the coagulation of the protein thickens the liquid. This coagulum is soft and remains suspended throughout the liquid unless the mixture is overcooked. b. Part of egg used. Whole egg. Yolk gives softer coagulum on account of presence of fat. The white has approximately the same thickening power as the yolk but must be handled more carefully. c. Proportions depend upon the thickness desired. Soft custards, 3 to 4 eggs to a quart of milk. Baked custards, 4 to 6 eggs to a quart of milk. The larger the proportion of egg is desirable if the custard is to be turned from a mold. Method of combining: Heat milk in a double boiler. Add sugar to egg. Pour hot milk into egg mixture. The finishing depends upon the kind of custard. Soft custard—Return to double boiler, stirring carefully so as to cook evenly. It is done when spoon comes out coated. As soon as done remove from hot water. Baked custard—Pour into an earthen baking dish and place in a slow oven. Bake until when knife inserted comes out clean. If a soft custard is overcooked the condition may be partially remedied by heating with a Dover egg beater. This breaks up the coagulated particles. The finer the particles are the more likely they are to remain in suspension. Custards containing starch—When eggs are expensive, starch is sometimes used as a means of thickening to supplement the eggs. Since starch should be cooked at a temperature below boiling, the starch should be cooked with the liquid before adding Recipes—Custard Milk 1 quart Vanilla ½ teaspoon 4 eggs or nutmeg Sugar 1-3 cup Salt, 1-4 teaspoon Scald the milk, beat eggs slightly add sugar and salt, stir constantly while adding gradually the hot milk Cook in either of the following ways. Soft Custard—Return mixture to the double boiler. Stir constantly until mixture thickens. A custard is done when mixture coats the spoon. Strain immediately into a cool bowl or the heat of the metal may cause continued cooking and curdling if a small amount is being made. Baked Custard—Pour mixture into oiled custard cups or baking dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Set in a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven BE BEAU By MME. W. R. DUDLEY Washington, D. C. Question—My skin seems very thin and dry and when I put on a vanishing cream, a powder base, the powder does not seem to stick. What kind of cream would you advise me to use?—Mrs. B. M. Porter Answer—I would recommend that you discontinue the use of vanishing cream, and try Mme. Dudley's Peroxide Cold Cream as a base for powder. Perhaps the soap you use does not agree with your skin. If so it should be changed at once. Always dry the face thoroughly before using cream and powder, otherwise, an unevenness of the application appers. Massage in the Peroxide Cold Cream with gentle outward and upward movements, removing the excess with a dry towel. Then apply Mme. Dudley's superfine face powder. You will be delighted with the result. Question—Will you kindly tell me what causes white or gray hair to turn yellow? I have a customer whose hair has been gray for several years, but recently it is inclined to be yellow. She seems to be in good health but worries about her hair not being pure white. Thanking you for the information—R. L. Answer—The bluing hair is used on white or gray hair to remove the yellow cast. Shampoo the hair with a pure shampoo preparation and, after having rinsed it thoroughly, rinse again in a bling solution. This may be readily prepared by adding a few drops of concentrated blue mixture to a gallon of tepid water. It is best to test the solution on the hair itself, as the solution can then be altered as desired, by adding more blue mixture if it is too weak or more water if it is too distinct. When the desired shade is required pour the bluing solution slowly throughout the hair. If you curl or straighten your patrons' hair, be very careful that you do not use too hot irons or combs. Hope this may prove helpful to you and pleasing to your patron. Question—Will you please tell me --- until firm. If a sharp pointed knife is inserted in the custard and comes out clean, the custard is done. FLOATING ISLAND Make a soft custard, using yolks Make a meringue of half the whites and pile on top of custard when done. Baked gold or silver custards Custards may be used by using yolks or whites alone. Use twice as many yolks or whites as the usual number of whole eggs. One whole egg to 1 cup of milk. CUSTARD PIE Pour custard mixture in partially cooked pie crust and bake in slow oven EGG NOG 1 egg Sugar 1 teaspoon Milk 2-3 cup A grating of nutmeg Beat egg thoroughly; add milk and sugar and beat again. Heat in double boiler to slightly coagulate the egg white and so increase its digestibility Serve in a glass with nutmeg grated over the surface. If ingredients have not been chilled, a little cracked ice may be added. One teaspoon of cocoa may be added or whipped cream beaten in for variations. STEAMED RAISIN PUDDING Make a rich baking powder biscuit dough and work into it a cupful of raisins. Put into a double boiler and steam for about three hours. Serve with a white sauce made of three tablespoonfuls of flour and two-thirds cupful of sugar mixed with a little cold water, then add boiling water until the mixture is clear, or about two cupfuls. Boil for a few minutes and flavor with vanilla. This is extra good, and the only sugar-required is in the sauce. FRESH HERRINGS Choose half a dozen soft-roed herrings and ask the fisherman to bone them so that they can be easily rolled. Before rolling the fish, sprinkle them with a little pepper and salt and pack them into a dish that will just hold them, and fix a small bay leaf between each roll as they snuggle together. Now cover, the fish with slices of Spanish onion cut very thin and three or four slices cut from a big lemon, removing all seeds. Mix equal quantities of the best vinegar and water, and, pour into the dish until the whole of the contents are well under the liquor and cook in a slow oven. When cold, serve with thin slices of brown bread and butter and a good green salad. CUSTOMS PERSIST Turkish girls wear knickerbockers And the harem is no more. But the graters and the knockers Still are active as of yore. UTIFUL how to give a Dry Shampoo?—W.B.R. Answer—A Dry Shampoo is recommended only for patrons suffering from colds or who for other reasons do not wish a wet shampoo. As a dry shampoo cannot clean the hair and scalp as a wet shampoo, it should be used only when absolutely necessary. After the hair has been thoroughly brushed and combed, the dry shampoo powder is sprinkled in the hair, a long bristled brush is required. These have to be prepared for this purpose by forcing the bristles through a layer of cheese cloth. The brushing is done in the same manner as during scalp treatments, and the cheese cloth must be removed as often as necessary. Brush continuously until the hair is clean and fluffy. A dry shampoo should be followed by a scalp treatment. A good dry shampoo powder for general use is powdered ooris root Question—What do you recommend for itching scalp and dandruff? S. D. Answer—Brush the hair and scalp thoroughly. Massage the scalp to promote circulation, and give a hot oil shampoo. The oil is heated and rubbed well into the scalp with a piece of cotton or small brush. Use oil as warm as possible, but be careful, and do not use it too hot. Then apply three or four hot towels. This is followed by a plain shampoo given the usual way. Dry the hair and scalp thoroughly and apply a tester ointment, which is an excellent remedy for itching scalp, dandruff and tetter. I make an ointment for this purpose that has proved very satisfactory in some very bad cases. Your Letters Mme.

JANUARY 22. 1926 Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Real French Beauty Shops have a Diploma bearing the signature of Mme. Catlin. The French System of Beauty Culture means the highest scientific treatment of the face, scalp and hair. The tinting of gray hair to its natural color. Bright treatment for blonde and golden shades of hair. Coiffures for formal and evening parties. Cure of excessive dandruff and itching scalp. The application of French hair grower to soften Answers to Queries Should a young woman visit the private apartment of a gentleman acquaintance?—Curious. No, emphatically no. Custom demands that a gentleman call on a young lady and not that she permit herself to be so influenced as to call upon him unless he is ill, then it is best to carry a chaperone. If she insists upon these visits—she lays herself liable to unkind gossip with no one to blame but herself. Should a woman over thirty bob her hair? Anxious Well, Anxious, to my mind it is a question of personal likes or lislikes. The question of bobbed hair is a much debated one and as yet no definite conclusion has been arrived at. However, I say if you think it will improve your appearance and make you look younger bob your hair. Youth is sought by all women—no woman wants to be old in appearance and undoubtedly bobbed hair takes away 8 to 10 years of age. Some claim it takes away the personality and charm of a woman. This is a false idea. Your personality is a part of you and no matter if you wore a wig you would still carry your own personality. As far as charm is concerned it adds to most people. But before doing this rash act, consider your face whether it is too broad, or your head too large and your profile, etc. It isn't a question of age with which you must be concerned as it is—can my face or head stand the effect which will be produced by the change. Should a young girl tell her mother of her little love affair?—Inquisitive. of her little love affairs — Inquisitive. Dear Inquisitive—I say yes. Take your mother in your confidence. Tell her of your little love escapades and she will never advise you wrong. She is the best friend to have; she will never be envious and try to hurt you; she will always do all in her power to help you over rough places. She will be your protection and guiding influence and you will find trouble will not come to a girl who is confidential with her mother. Mother has experience, she knows mankind, his cunning and trickery and though her advice seems much to your dislike—you will thank her in the end. Yes. Inquisitive, tell your mother by all Yours VEE TEE TEE PARISIAN SALAD PARISIAN SALAD Cut in very small pieces three cold boiled potatoes and the same quantity of cold beets and of celery. Mix the yolks of four hard-cooked eggs with two tablespoonfuls of anchovy sauce, rub through a sieve, and add gradually four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one tablespoonful of mixed mustard, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice, two pinches of salt, almost as much black pepper, and the whites of the cooked eggs cut in dice. Stir all well together and serve. VEGETABLE HASH This is made according to whatever bits of cold cooked vegetables are at hand. The individual taste may cover the combinations in selecting. Moisten the hash with a little milk or cream sauce. It is suggested that enough celery, salt or other spices with individual flavoring be used to give character to the taste. TOMATOES ON TOAST The appetizing flavor and real food value of vegetable toasts are not fully appreciated. Nicely browned pieces of toast served with piping hot tomato sauce, for example, makes a delicious breakfast or luncheon dish. If it is desired to have the dish higher in food value break a little cheese through the tomato. MERINGUE PIE Grated rind and juice of one large lemon, one cup sugar, two egg yolks, one tablespoon constarch, butter size of walnut. Add enough cold water to fill pie tin of size you desire to use. Cook until thickened, then cool. Bake crust first, put in filling spread over top beaten whites of eggs with one tablespoon sugar. Brown in oven. ```markdown ``` French marcel waving. THE FASHION REVIEW BY-NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Virtual Feature We seem to be as loath to part with our sheath gowns as we are with our love letters. So, in spite of the flared silhouette, we find many women of fashion clinging to the clinging line. This is especially true of the older women. It goes without saying, however that we must bring our sheath up to the moment by a few new touches. Sometimes such touches rely on nothing more than the selection of a new color, such as chartteuse green, and on other occasions the model proclaims its up-to-the-minute inspiration by electing one of the less common-place materials. In one of Patans' newest evening creations, the straight line is given a new interest by the fact that it is developed in moire taffeta. Moire, it must be remembered, is encountered in a few exclusive creations, and the moire fabrics are especially successful in bustle frocks. Another point of interest in this gown is the interpretation of the shoulder straps. It consists of a fold of material brought around from the back of the neck and attached to the decolletege at the side fronts. This fold is then tied and edged with the same loops of crystal beads which edge the skirt and outline the neck line. The color chosen is cherry red, and this is topped by a filny scarf of flesh colored tule. Whatever we say or do, the bustle frequently puts its appearance in the smart evening frocks of to-day, and is developed in various ways, all equally smart. One of the newest authentic bustles of today consists of a draping of the KEEP A GOOD STOCK OF SHEETS AND PILLOW CASES No home manager ever has enough sheets! In some mysterious manner they disappear or suddenly become as full of holes as a collander. It is, therefore, the wisest economy to lay in a small reserve stock each year, so that there won't be any sudden "all gone to pieces" of the home sheet market, necessitating emergency buying at high prices. By the addition of four, six or eight sheets each season the home manager will be assured of that great desire—"plenty of sheets to go round." And if there is one place where it does not pay to skimp and be penny-wise and pound-foolish, it is in purchasing sheets. For sheets we have with us always, Winter and Summer—no fashions sway them—and their selection should be solely on the investment point of view. A few cents saving on the original or first cost will be nothing as compared with long-wearing value. "Cheap" sheets invariably have narrow hems and are narrower and shorter. Buy only the best grades—what is called "percale sheeting," if you can afford it—and be sure you know what size beds you are fitting. For clerks tell me that here is the chief mistake on the part of the purchaser—she doesn't know and hasn't with her the exact bed size and its length and width. Sheets must not only cover the bed size "over all," but must be wide enough and long enough to simply tuck in around the mattress and long enough to allow for a pleasing turnback over the blanket at the top. Sheet sizes are always listed as "before hemming." Here are some common sizes to help as a guide: **Bed Sizes** Cot beds, 54 or 63 inches wide by 99 inches long. Single beds, 63 or 72 inches wide by 99, 108 or 113 inches long. Three-quarter beds, 72 inches wide by 98, 108, or 113 inches long. Double bed, 81 or 90 inches wide by 99, 108 or 113 inches long. Pillow Sizes. 20x28-inch pillow, 36 inches wide by 42 inches. 22x28-inch pillow, 36 inches wide by 45 inches. skirt in the back, a draping which results in a fulness of the skirt below—also in an upward movement of the back folds, so as to disclose a foundation of contrasting fabric. This revelation occurs, however only in the back, and the fulness, too, is all massed here. The type of bustle which I have described looks its best with a slightly molded bodice and the decisive puffing of the material in the back almost necessitates a plain straight front for contrast. The same thing cannot be said of those timid members of the bustle family which owe their existence merely to loops of ribbon or of self material. Here indeed, is an excellent suggestion for making over your white satin wedding gown for practical services. Of course this model, which was worn at a recent affair by a girl who had been out several seasons, offered especially good inducements. If, as has often been the case during recent years, your own particular bridal creation was on sheath lines nothing could be simpler to revise it over this formula. This model carried out in white satin-has three little crisp knife plaited ruffles that are attached to the bottom of the gown and are run up to the left side. Why not make those ruffles of the satin train? Crystal beads are used to border the neck. This simple white satin gown is an excellent background for various brilliant accessories of green. Her scarf was of green tule, and the slippers of green metal cloth. 24x28-inch pillow, 38½ inches wide by 50 inches. 26x28-inch pillow, 36 inches wide by 54 inches. A word here about hemstitched and scalloped edges. The scallop wears well in good materials, but requires exact and painstaking ironing. Hemstitched on either table or bed linen or any doily, etc., makes the most attractive of finishes, but unfortunately it is also the first thing likely to tear off in laundering. This is especially true of a hemstitched edge on a pillow case, where, once the edge is caught, the whole end is removed. TOUCHING UP FADED PLACES It may be that the chintz of your curtains or cushions looks a bit faded. This might be dyed, of course, but the pretty figure would be obliterated. Did you ever think of touching up the faded places with a little paint? Often just a little attention will make a great difference. For instance, if there are pink roses that have faded, just use your paint brush here and there to make the roses look pinker. Helpful Suggestions Helpful Suggestions To Save a Garbage Can To lengthen the life of a garbage can, heat it when new and pour melted paraffin over the inside, turning the can around and around so that every portion will be covered with the wax. This coating will last for months. If your can is already rusted even if it has a leak or, wash it thoroughly dry and proceed as above. The leaks will be stopped and the can good for considerable more service. NEW FLAVOR FOR COLD SLAW For a new and delicious flavor in cold slaw use the vinegar from sweet pickles in place of ordinary vinegar and add a few black walnut meats. TO MAKE DELICIOUS ICING Mix confectioners sugar with maple syrup and add a little cream or butter to keep it soft. This makes a delicious maple icing. P Every true American citizen secretly desires to appear at his best when meeting men and women who may occupy a somewhat higher position in the business world or society than he does. A feeling of embarrassment at such times is most natural, extreme nervousness is perfectly excusable. To be able to control these feelings and to appear perfectly at ease in any walk of life or in any class of society requires careful preparation and practice of those small actions and accomplishments so necessary to establish oneself and to gain a reputation of being a man or woman of the world. Without doubt, the person who has learned to act naturally has accomplished a great deal towards his aim for good manners. Affectation, coquettish actions haughtiness are often mistaken for good breeding, but not for long. If you would like to be popular First—You know what displeases or angers you personally. Avoid such words or actions in your contact with others.

If they have hobbies encourage them to talk about their specialty. Find out what interests them and learn to be a good "listener." You will be amazed at the reputation you will gain for being intelligent, without having to express any opinions yourself. Be quick to share the joy or grief of an acquaintance; lead them to think you are interested in everything that concerns them. If a friend is bound up heart and soul in an undertaking, whether an affair of the heart profession, sports, business, let him gain the impression that his success and interest are matters of vital importance to yourself.

A Series of Articles by Francis Lewis Cardozo For 35 years teacher, principal and supervisor in the Public Schools of the District of Columbia How Do You Feel About It? An Englishman, traveling in this country, expressed an earnest desire to visit the schools of New York City. "Mixed" schools struck him as novel and most interesting. Listening to the bright recitations of several children in a large class, he commented upon their intelligence, and asked if that fact were unusual. The teacher, a capable as well as a tactful woman, of color, replied that it was not. "In view of the fact that these children have been in close contact with so many white classmates, members of a superior race, is it not probable that the intelligence of the colored children is somewhat due to attrition?" I have said that this woman was tactful. Before replying, she asked her questioner how long he had been in this country. Being an Englishman he was more perplexed than illuminated by the question, and would have been still more so, had he known that just then she was thinking, "So soon!" when he found himself saying, "Two weeks." Without expressing her own convictions on the point he had raised, she deemed it sufficient to suggest that a visit to the schools at Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., and several other cities that might have been named, where classes were composed wholly of colored children, taught by colored teachers, all—teachers and students—living in colored homes, would give him ample opportunity for a close-up study, and, after careful reflection, enable him to find answer for himself. ISLES OF SAFETY, you would say. And yet, I would not be misunderstood. All will agree that the questioner had been answered in such a way as not to give offense, but to cause him to think more and more deeply, as he pursued his investigations; and in the hope that he did, I am quite sure, that you earnestly join me. Evidently this woman was more than a mere teacher, an educator, in that she interpreted SERVICE to mean a fearless and yet considerate effort to remove ignorance or misunderstanding, here a little, there a little, and not to confine this sort of thing to the four walls of a classroom. But narrowness, is narrowness whether it take the usual form of prejudice, or not. By the same token the development of a one-track mind, the nestor of faulty view, should be avoided. Is Pickens right in THE FORUM, October, 1924, Pickens-Forston Debate, "The Emigration of the Negro Northward," when he observes, "The Negro will disappear as a race by the gradual diffusion of his blood throughout the entire population of the American Nation," elsewhere noting that many have already done so, surreptitiously, after effectually effacing racial identity; and, if, so, is it well to interfere, by voice or otherwise, with a trend so obviously Lemus A Columnist Labor Leader Becomes Literary Reinzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees who possesses becoming modesty, and claims to be "From the common herd," and unfamiliar with literature and the arts, is now a full-fledged columnist writing under the caption "NOW" in the Boston Chronicle. Just recently, he has been credited with the invention of a word addition to our language. The following extract is from the column in the issue of February 4th: "Every nation and all countries' must have 'the man furthest down.' That has been the Negro's status in the United States for three centuries—a century and a half before there was a United States. Contacts with and as part of Anglo-Saxon civilization have so greatly affected the black man until he is no longer furthest down. In every phase of national life he is becoming more of an American and less of a Negro. This is particularly and conspicuously true of the masses. "The Pullman porters' contacts as a worker are solely with organized rail workers. He is the exception in the field of trades unionism. Encouraged by white rail workers the porter seeks to organize. The Pullman Company vigorously opposes and resorts to intimidation. It seeks another furtherest down and seems to find him in the Filipino. "The little brown man is slight of stature so the Pullman Company assigns him to smoking cars, assignments given to older men who have given their youth to sleeping car service. But the old porter declines to be intimidated. He wants to be a man or nothing. And the Pullman management's strenuous and expensive oppositions is the greatest tribute that could be paid to his manhood. "It is a remarkable coincidence that at the time of the Pullman Company's official assignment of the Filipino to the role of 'man furthest down' the Governor-General of the Phillipines should seek by popular subscriptions in this country the sum of two million dollars to assist the 18,000 illegitimate children left with native mothers by white and black Americans when the fathers returned definite that it appears to be Nature's method of readjustment? If these utterances be sound prophecy, the multiplication of separate educational or any other kind of separate institutions is to be looked upon as a matter for serious consideration. Even though your prompt reaction to this might have led you to believe so, that observation does not necessarily argue for the discontinuance of those already existing; for it must be distinctly understood that like other races, colored folk, at this stage of evolution, need to employ various resources, by which progress is forged. Nor does it emphasize self-segregation, but merely that the army retreats, so that it may the better "Stop, Look and Listen," while its generals consider in which direction the next advance may best be made. Not all thinking men, however, white or colored, are agreed on separate schools as a policy. The argument of those in favor of "mixed" schools may be fairly represented as follows— "Mixed schools afford colored children a more cultured environment, a matter of supreme consideration for placement of preadolescent and adolescent children in private schools by parents of every other race, who are intelligent enough to appreciate and wealthy enough to afford; An element is thus obtained by which the lump of racial disaffection and misunderstanding is effectually leavened, by juxtaposition and association, at least; The economic interests of the state, of important concern to the patriotic, where educational interests are otherwise being adequately met, of impelling concern during financial distress of the government, are better subserved; There is no "inescapable difference" among yellow, white, black, brown, or red children, and it therefore requires no special racial endowment to be vested in the teacher, granted superior scholarship and teaching ability, to handle any or all of the varied flowers in the human flower garden ("sweet traditions" to the contrary notwithstanding); and, finally, "The child," in whom all profess such tender concern (whose genuine and abiding interests, educational and otherwise, are too frequently observed in the breach), deserves the most cultured and superior teacher, of whatever race, as hereinafter indicated. In the light of hard facts, wring out of human experience, theories fade into fallacies; but constructive criticism, with merit basis, persists, until finally accepted. The STATE cannot afford to perpetuate institutions, governed largely since the Civil War by mere sentimental considerations under such conditions longer. The whole matter of educational institutions—their organization and conduct, more particularly—should be put on a basis that meets the tenets of educational science. Were I to reveal what else is in my mind, as I say, "personally, I am distinctly in favor of 'mixed' schools," there would appear, "Lay on McDuff." "Not condoning the offense and with great sympathy for the native mothers, it is a relief to contribute to our brown skinned relatives' assistance instead of sending money to Boston to break up segregation in Washington or giving to the endowment of 'Panhandle Academy' at Soakam Springs, S.C. It is a relief, indeed to no inlogger be the 'man furthest down.'" Totten Talks of Stay With Washington Porters When Mr. A. L. Totten said goodbye to the many friends he made in Washington on Monday 11, it did not mean that he was gone. Mr. Totten who is one of the organizers of the Pullman Porters remained in the city secretly engaged in a house to house canvass signing up several of the men who feared the intimidation of the Pullman Company. Through the assistance of many who are members of the union, he managed to find the homes of porters and converted them into the union. Before he boarded the train last Sunday evening, 17th, Mr. Totten made the following statement. "The porters in Washington district have rallied fine toward the movement. "In some instances I found men who did not seem to know that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed several years ago, and there were others who were lieutenants of the Pullman Porter instructor and other officials whose doctrine of scaring the men had taken some effect. "Many of the porters told me that these instructors forced the men into the office where they were made to show their key tags, checked off, and compelled to vote on the wage conference." Ballots were sent to the homes of sick porters, and the instructors would cover trains in order to force them to vote. The Pullman Company cannot prove that fifty-one per cent of the porters voted voluntarily on the plan. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926 Mays Deserts Pullman Porter Organization R. L. Mays, president of the Railway Men's International Association with headquarters at 3659 Michigan Avenue, who has been allied with A. Philip Randolph in the effort to organize the Pullman Porters, has wired the Tribune an announcement of his withdrawal from the Sleeping Carmen's organization. The telegram reads as follows: Chicago, Ill., '18 "Washington Tribune Washington, D.C. I have written letter to Randolph withdrawing from participation in attempt to organize Pullman Porters because of mismanagement of campaign and am mailing copy of letter to you doing this because I want no further responsibility and because I feel your Pullman porter readers should know I have quit and my reasons. 3659 Michigan Ave." Pending receipt of May's letter of explanation, and a statement from the New York headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, no reasons may be assigned for the action of the man who heads the larger in the country. Mays heads an alliance whose organization period was replete with troubles, including even the death of some of its members; and it is reported that the Big Four Brotherhoods and Federation of Labor Locals antagonized the unionizing of Negro brakemen, shop employees and yard service men whom Mays had assembled. May's group also included dining car men and he once tried to unionize the porters along with them. Just what degree of sincerity characterized his association with Randolph is not known. He was, however, closely identified with the Messenger editor and his Pullman employee associates in the early stages of the present effort. The effect his defection will have on the movement remains to be seen. LABOR CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor, conferred last week with Negro Labor leaders and a representative of the Urban League upon the subject of Negro labor. Those present were Frank Egan of the Teamsters International Henry Haumel of the Players Association and Theatrical Alliance, Reinzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Pullman Porters and Frank Crosswaith, organizer of Negro workers for the Trade Union Council. The meeting was the first of a series that will be held for the purpose of organizing Negro workers, and to bring them under the jurisdiction of the A. F. of L. While the confreses would not talk for publication, it is generally known that the A. F. of L. is willing to take over control of such Negroes as have effected an organization of their own as have the dining car men, the players and performers and the prospective Porters group, that the acceptance of Negroes with full rights in the crafts already organized, and to which more than a hundred thousand Negro craftsmen are eligible, is the bostacle to completely absorbing Negro labor into the Federation. CENTRAL WEST SEEKS VOICE IN HOWARD UNIV. AFFAIRS Dr. Garvin of Cleveland Candidate For Alumni Trustee Cleveland, Ohio—Definite support from Howard alumni over the country backing the candidacy of Dr. Charles H. Garvin for membership on the Board of Trustees of the University is seen in the result of the vote of the alumni taken in December by the office of the alumni and field secretary of the school. Dr. Garvin is one of the graduates residing in this section of the country. The vote taken in December for selection of the six nominees who are to be subjected to a further vote scheduled for January 30th, 1926, resulted in the nomination of Dr. Garvin, Dr. Sara W. Brown, of New York City; Attorney W. Justin Reverend George F. Miller, of New York City; Miss Nellie Quander, of Washington, D.C.; and Attorney Thomas Walker, of Washington, D.C. It was also felt by some that the University should have representation from the central west in its councils. In recent years a number of graduates of Howard have taken up residence in the central and middle west. During the recent endowment campaign and other drives for funds by the university, it was this section that was strong in lending financial support. This is the first time that there seems a likelihood that a man from this part of the United Staes will come in for consideration for an important connection with Howard University. Army Service Makes Him Favorite Dr. Garvin served as Captain in the A. E. F. during the world war. He is hoping to have the entire support of Howardites who served in the army during the recent conflict. Graduates in this city, Cincinnati, Detroit, Columbus, Chicago, Dayton, Louisville, St. Louis, and Kansas City are likely to support his candidacy. If we decide to contest the election the public would learn otherwise. We are taking into consideration the raising of the admission fee for membership to the organization, and great care will be taken to bar all those who have bee nactive against the movement. Out in the West some porters are those who have been active against men who cannot show their union cards, and a well regulated scheme of railroading slackers is gradually working its way all over the country. When asked where he was leaving for Mr. Totten said "somewhere in the United States." Hey Men!

COMMENDABLE POLICE SERVICE No department of public service is so prone to criticism when at fault as is the police department. Offtimes it is deserved. However, in the main, the metropolitan police organization is made up of conscientious members who faithfully perform the functions of their respective offices. Occasionally they do conspicuously meritorious things; and these actions are quite often taken for granted by the public, and no especial notice accorded the service. The conviction before the trial board of the officers charged with illegal raid and attempted extortion at the Actors Rest is a case in point. Inspector Harry Pratt, Captain Cornwall, and especially Detectives Hugh H. Groves and Wm. G. Stott upon whom the superiors were obliged to depend largely for the facts unearthed, deserve commendation for the vigor with which they pursued this case to a conclusion. The fact that the hotel and its molested patrons were all Negroes; and the fact that the investigators were required to return unfavorable reports against fellow policemen, were in themselves features that would have deterred less loyal men. A considerable element of public opinion against a proscribed Race, and a tremendous pressure of influence was defied in the performance of this duty. Leavening such as this is a valuable asset to the organization charged with maintaining the law in the District. The square dealing demonstrated creates a degree of confidence in the recently elevated head of the Detective Bureau that will make the berth an easier one for its incumbent. Such administration of justice creates public confidence. METAMORPHOSIS According to the Pittsburgh Courier, Roland Hayes was not "denied admission" to a vaudeville theatre in Pittsburgh; he was, however, refused a seat on the first floor. The Courier says: The celebrated singer with his accompanist, William Lawrence, and private secretary, R. D. Mann, were told that race patrons were not allowed to sit on the first floor. This was in keeping with the policy of the house. When Mr. Hayes informed the girl ticket soller who he was, and asked to see the manager he was politely informed that the manager was "out of town" . . . Contrary to a news release sent out all over the country, Mr. Hayes was not refused admittance, but was segregated to the balcony of the theatre. Needless to say, the party did not see the performance. If the above story is true—and it most probably is true—Mr. Hayes seemed to think that, though "Negroes" were obliged to sit in the gallery, "Mr. Hayes" and his party (though they were all "colored" folks, as things go in America) would not be classed as Negroes, or at least they ought to be, and would be, made exceptions. This line of reasoning, while a little too deep for us ethnologically and socially, yet seems to closely parallel what we see in Southern railway stations, where, over the doorways of the rest rooms—usually three—are signs reading, respectively: "For Ladies"; "For Gentlemen": "For Colored People." Jeremiah (not Solomon, as some suppose) asks: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" The implied answer is, No. However, there are colored folks who seem to think that "culture" can do it; and some think that money, or "recognition" by people of another race, can do it, or ought to do it. Maybe so. There is, moreover, a feature of these matters which, from a racial standpoint, is serious as well as irritating. A regularly reiterated charge is that we do not appreciate our budding or potential geniuses, at least not to the extent of generous and sufficient support while they are developing from bud to full-grown flower or to fully-matured fruit. Is it any wonder? Among those who achieve the limelight—or "recognition"—whether or not achieved by or through the help of the race, how many are there who do not by every means seek to get away from us, to ignore us, or to actually deny us, or even on occasion snub us? O tempora! O mores! FAVORITISM-SUBSTITUTED FOR RIGHT Have memorialized the Board of Education; why mass meetings have been called; and why members of Congress have been appealed to in Newman's interest. Newman is a soldier-citizen bearing the highest of honors, and an educator, par excellence; but even these distinctions pale before the great ovation that has overwhelmed him now that he has become the center around which surges the public indignation at the monarchial proceedings of the school officials who have assumed a "public-be-damned" attitude. Imagine, if you can, the consistency—a man demoted for inability to maintain discipline is tendered a job that is based entirely upon DISCIPLINE as is the position of military instructor of the cadets. Imagine the "inefficiency" that exists in a man who has been capable of assuming charge of a bundle of portable buildings, housing a mere industrial school of three hundred, and out of it, in six years, creating an enthusiastic organization with more than a thousand pupils anxious to become trained as to hand and mind, which has inspired Congress to erect for this institution a million-dollar plant. Imagine again a charge of failure to carry out a program on the part of a man who originated his own program and who never had one handed to him by the school authorities for the simple reason that the whole subject of manual training has been in the making. Moreover, this same man, in a report of a special committee of a chamber of commerce of a large Northern city, is credited with having comprehended and achieved the objects of a manual training school with a degree of completeness that had long been groped for, but never before attained. Captain Newman describes the function of such a school as being to give practical and educational training in hand and mind that will provide an adequate basis for advanced education to those pupils who have inclination and opportunity to take engineering or allied courses; and for those with the same inclination but without the opportunity for further schooling, to provide a training that will lift them from the ranks of common labor into the ranks of the skilled, and to that extent to raise the community citizenship standard. Then what is it all about? asks the public that has been impressed with the usefulness of this person. The answers which have been partly indicated are: (1) the lucious (salary) fruit which is now yielded by this tree which he has tended and grown is wanted for some one else; (2) vindictiveness, pure and simple. Sometime since Newman was asked to indorse a certain teacher for the post of Lady Principal. He declined upon two grounds: first, the teacher was one of those who on occasions was credited with having spoken disparagingly of Mr. Newman's qualifications, and it was unfair to ask him to accept as a member of his staff, a person by whom he was thus regarded. Second, there had been another teacher in the school whose devotion to the efforts of Professor Newman and to the needs of the school had been such that he felt she had a very proper claim for consideration for the place. But he was pointedly told that a recommendation of this woman would not be approved. A compromise was reached that resulted in the appointment of a Miss Weaver to the post, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Cook, a member of the Board of Education, who had been quite insistent upon the other appointment. There was also another teacher assigned for a time to the Armstrong school whose stay was a turbulent one, and who is credited with having frequently appealed to the minister upon the board for sustaining influence when her plans met with any obstruction from the principal or any other of the staff at Armstrong. She finally asked for a transfer, and Newman acquiesced with alacrity to the request. A "soft" assignment at Dunbar High school provided her with time and opportunity in which to do amateur detective work in the halls of Armstrong, and Headquarters at the Franklin building began receiving reports that were unfavorable reflections upon Newman's administration of Armstrong. The two members of the board whose proteges had been thwarted naturally combined their forces and later the support of the third Negro member was secured, whether by coercion, wheedling or through political trading is not known. Then it was that, after nine years of unquestioned service, Newman's "inefficiency" was discovered, and the laws and regulations for the conduct of the school system were flouted to gain ends desired that had no right to be injected into consideration. These people dared not break up the morale of the student body to satisfy personal grudges, hence the sub-rosa proceedings. There were no charges, for that would entitle the man to a day in court but there was a determination to GET NEWMAN. It seems that Newman must go, and it seems that in going, like Sampson of old, he is likely to pull the pillars of the structure with him; and that the whole administration will fall. The Negro front is already cracked and crumbling. As the true inwardness of the situation has filtered through the patrons of the school and the community, we have witnessed an unprecedented deluge of popular indignation on the part of the public that has so long endured this sort of thing, and who are now aroused to resent the sacrifice of their money and their children to satisfy the whims and the personal interests of those invested with a little brief authority. Business men have deserted their shops, professional folks have abandoned their desks, soldiers and former soldiers have sprung as to the defense of the country, and mothers have deserted household duties to record their objections to this prostituting of that which is primarily theirs by those whom they have entrusted to administer the education of their offspring only to find that this confidence has been betrayed and favoritism substituted for right. It bodes no good for those in power when one man's threatened removal can evoke three mass meetings in one day, each of which fills a theatre. It don't promise well for the same authorities who exist by virtue of Congressional enactment when appeals go to Tinkham of Massachusetts, to Zihlman of Maryland, to Madden of Illinois, to Dyer of Missouri and to Gilmer of West Virginia. Congressional action is a disturbing thing, and Congressmen are very much interested in the colored brethren on the eve of election—and this is the year. It is probable that for this administration, the pitcher is on its way to the well for the last time. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JANUARY 22. 1926 A questionnire sent to students of Columbia University yielded the astonishing information that only 88 of the many thousand students enrolled would marry for money, if the chance afforded them opportunity. Told you Howard was ahead of some of the Northern Schools. Bet you could find ten times as many who would marry to get money. In fact, a census of the student body would probably, yield a goodly number who avail themselves of "wrapped cash" without either the formality of graduation or marriage. In one of last week's papers (not the Tribune) I learned that the first woman director had been elected in a Negro corporation. Let up on that "first" thing. What are we to do about Minnie B. Smoot who has been a director on the board of the Federal Life Insurance Co., ever since the organization of the company four years since. There may be others, for aught we know. The once excusable use of "the first" and "the only" has about frazzled out in any field of Race activity. The life of SQUABBLE is a great one. There is the Pullman Porter squabble, the Newman squabble in the schools, the squabble in our lodge about its building, the squabble to get our debtors to meet their bills, the squabble of our uplifters to get money and grab newspaper space without pay and the squabble at home when things don't go right. Life is just about all squabble. And very likely there is squabbling among the ghosts and ghouls over our remains after death. Charlie was showing a friend about town. As he passed Eleventh and U Streets, he was heard to remark: "Yes, that is a Masonic Building. It is not the Scottish rite but the Negro's WRONG." The oldtime head of the family used to skimp and save until he could get cash for the new fangled things for the home. The hard process usually ended in the demise of either Father or Mother before the modernizing of the home was complete. How often have we heard the pathetic expression "Oh; how I wish Father (on Mother) had lived to enjoy this." Not so now. A typical evening for Dad is to drop around to the bank and make a payment on the mortgage on the house; stop by the service station to lift a note on the car, send a check to the electric company in payment of an installment on the washing machine; send Willie over to the corner with the dollar due on last summer's suit, and get him to ride by the hardware store enroute and leave the seventy-five cents due as a week's payment on the wheel. He then sits down lights the pipe that he got at the corner cigar store for his premium certificates, and admires the canary, while his wife beeseches him for the fifty cents due on the cage, and the daughter of the family insists that if he don't give her thirty cents to pay the installation due on her last purchase, the store won't let her have those silk stockings she needs for next Sunday. Dad maybe gets more joy out of the things of luxury nowadays, though it may give him more grief and compel a more minute division of his funds. But the family must keep up—with the luxuries, even though Dad must be forever behind in the payments. A newspaper trade journal informs us that seventy-three per cent of the farmers read a paper that is directly concerned with their interests. Seventy-five per cent also read a daily paper, according to the report of a survey by the De. ment of Agriculture. Completed surveys of four states discloses that sixty-three per cent of the changes in equipment and furnishings are directly due to advertising that appeared in the journals of special interest. I dare say that an analysis of the reading public of our Race journals would show a similar condition. There is a confidence in that which is especially dedicated to a particular group that is not available to any general publication. The penpushers seem to be in for considerable attention from those high in church circles lately. Read this. Dr. A. H. Moore, President of King University of Canada says: "The ethical aspects of modern journalism could not be ignored by the church, if both are to discharge their responsibilities." He suggests prayer for the guidance of journalists. It is a fine idea, for the craft needs guidance divine and otherwise, in the multiplicity of duties that devolves upon it. That; at least, is an improvement upon the many suggestions that are made to editors involving an immediate trip to regions, not divine, but equally eternal. If high churchmen are with us, the journalist may go on with renewed courage. That raises the question whether the Negro newspapers like most other Race organizations and enterprises, should not include in their long staff lists a chaplain. An appearance of sanctimoniousness is a big asset with My People. Contemplate the STAG LINE at any of our dances. Each dance has surplus men enough to muster a company of soldiers. "Soldiers" is right. They are young stalwarts with fine physiques; and they can all dance with grace. When given the chance at an attentive, feminine ear, they can deliver a nice line of soft talk. The assiduousness with which they "cut in," one on the other, prompts an inquiry, why they don't "take a lady of their own" to a dance now and then? if we may quote the punch line of an old song. The question arises, are Washington boys just CHEAP; or, won't their married women friends let 'em take a girl to the dances? BY WELLINGTON ADAMS FINE PIPE ORGANS IN COLORED CHURCHES—FOR WHAT? Two churches with growing congregations, one in West Washington and the other out Southeast, that really need educational advantages in their communities denied requests to teach music in their church. These requests came from women organists of the two churches where they serve. In one case, the pastor had to think it over but his attitude was one of thinking over it yet, last we heard. The other case, the pastor spoke favorably of giving permission but one or more officials disapproved of the idea. In both instances, the young organists received sufficient discouragement to lose no further time, making inquiry and dropped the matter though at first very ambitious to serve their respective memberships. One may imagine their feelings at present toward their respective churches where they give much time and service and the meagre pay of a domestic fifteen years of age in return. These pipe organs range in price from $3500 to as high as $25000 in local colored churches. We believe that Metropolitan A. M. E. Church has the highest priced instrument. Metropolitan Baptist is planning to install another high priced organ, according to reports, but they already have a large but old instrument in present usage. Other churches having pipe organs—some good and moderately good are: Nineteenth Street Baptist, Second Baptist, Ebenezer M. E., Third Baptist, Galbraith A. M. E. Zion, Vermont Avenue Baptist, John Wesley A. M. E. Zion, Mt. Moriah Baptist, Fifteenth Street Presbyterian, Mt. Zion M. E., Plymouth Congregational, Asbury M. E., and several others. It is a well known fact that a certain temperature should be maintained to properly keep an organ in condition. How many churches pay as much attention to keeping the organ in condition as they do the pulpit outfit and By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS True marriage is the divine and complete union of the aims, ideals, purposes and interests of two persons of such consummate oneness as to ignore, defy and shut out all variant, attitudes and interests. People who are truly married are born into the world for each other. Race and color do not control their choice. Marriage is not a human institution, and cannot, therefore, be controlled by human laws and instrumentalities. Nature controls, absolutely the mating instincts of the human family. Any man-made law designed to prevent inter-marriage is as futile and as senseless as a law made to prevent the Mississippi river from emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. There is an immutable law controlling human affinities and attractions. Man-made laws and schemes designed to controvert this law will in the end accomplish the very opposite results. Nature prepared for just such a day as we are now facing—a day when men are trying to control the natural mating of her children. She decreed that unlike objects should attract each other. Therefore, these man-made laws to prevent people of different races or different colors from intermarrying are senseless and futile. Nature will not surrender her right to control mating instincts. The human race is going to follow the law of natural selection and mix up races decently, or if repressed by man-made laws, Nature will resent the joke by messing up the human family morally. Nature resents the prohibition of inter-marriage by making it a perfect and gigantic agency for promoting adultery and misegenation. Nature detests a joke. All of her moods are serious. In the matter of mating, Nature ignores races absolutely. She recognizes humanity only and she sends the civilized in search of the savage, sends the master to hunt up the slave, sends the white in search of the black, inclines the black toward the white. Makes the brown and red willing to accept either black or white. Prohibition of inter-marriage is a form of social slavery. Social slavery is far more impossible than human slavery and always produces results opposite to those intended. The promoters and champions of the institution of human slavery in America intended to perpetuate it, and to build up the South and eventually all America on slave labor. But after three hundred years, behold twelve million freemen and their achievements! Laws to enslave races socially will in the long run prove to be just as ineffective. In ordering changes in color, the thing that Nature takes into consideration is the natural conditions and requirements under which human beings are forced to live. She works unceasingly and incessantly to fit her children to meet the requirements of their environment. She did it in Africa and she will do it in America. The race was not black when it entered Africa. It was of a color that made it susceptible to fever germs. Nature set herself to work to give the race a color suitable to its new environment, and one that would make it immune from the fever germs. The Negro was moved out of that climate and brought into a colorphobia climate where the first requirement is that you shall be white, in order to enjoy to the full the right to live and the right to love. Soon after the Negro was dragged into America, Na- carpeting? The truth of the matter is that more organs go to waste, due to lack of attention than would be the case if they were in constant use and the church pays repair bills and not a "mumbling word" they say. As with a piano so with an organ, its superb tonal qualities are maintained only through proper constant use and attention to drains and temperatures. But the organ receives far less usage than the piano and that's why so many of them are out of tune on Sunday mornings. Why not save the organ through serviceable use rather than see several thousands of hard-earned dollars go to waste for the lack of attention to details? Teaching on the organ is far more economical in repair bills than weekly Sunday programs. But as was the case with the two young women organizers, an official who possesses more "grace" than knowledge, although their meaning is good intent, hinders any progress along this particular line. It should not be the case, however. Church memberships are to blame for such narrow policies because they elect the governing boards themselves and these same boards turn right around and deny them their rights and privileges when requested oftimes. HARLEM SYMPHONIC ORCHES TRA PLANNING FOURTH CONCERT Plans are already being perfected by the Harlem Symphonic Orchestra for its fourth concert, to be held at the Renaissance Casino Sunday afternoon, February 14. These concerts are becoming not only social events but musical treats looked forward to eagerly by music lovers throughout greater New York. Under E. Gilbert Anderson, the orchestra has become one of the most proficient in the country and is destined for a great future. The soloist for the fourth concert will be announced later. ture began to get him ready to meet the conditions in his new environment. In Africa, Nature had to do the work alone. It took a long time but she did it. In America, her first and most willing assistant is the white man, to whom the rawest and blackest savage, became just as attractive socially as the whitest and the most cultured civilized member of his own race. Nature worked alone in Africa, but she has four able assistants in America. First, a favorable climate. Second, the weakness of the white man. He is not strong enough to overcome the law of attraction of opposites. Third, the inclination of the Negro. He is inclined by the law of attraction of opposites; and as if to help the Negro to hurry up to meet conditions, she enlisted science and commerce to mix and market concoctions of bleaches and straightenings to facilitate her work. So successful, have these four capable assistants been that without ever being detected, people of Negro blood take up permanent residence in the white race every day. Then too, laws against inter-marriage are futile things. It is just as natural for children deposited in the Negro race by members of the white race to be inclined to marriage in that race as it is for them to be inclined to marriage in the dark race. It is their inborn privilege to "take after" either race they chose. Sometimes they inherit a love for the dominant race, and sometimes they inherit an acceptance of the assigned status without protest, and sometimes they inherit a dislike for one race or the other. There are white Negroes who would not under any circumstances marry into the white race. They never try to pass because they do not want to be white. We do not know under what revolting protests these children were begotten. On the other hand, there are Negroes with dark skins who are inclined toward lighter and whiter skinned people. Many of them are controlled simply by the natural law. Others are controlled by an inheritance. Both laws are operative and effective, and no man-made law can control either. Control of the blending instinct is Nature's subtle way of getting the human family back to its original color, which certainly was not white. In order to accomplish her work she seems to be inclining the lighter to the darker and the darker to the lighter. And instead of having, as she now has, her two dominant colors negative, she is going to have by blending, a color that is positive. Both science and history show that Nature allows in-breeding until there is danger of deterioration—mental moral and spiritual; then she intervenes and saves the family or the race by sending in currents of fresh blood. The biggest fact in this whole inter-marriage situation is that the race that pretends to be most vigorously opposed to inter-marriage does more mixing than any other race under the sun. On the mixing of the races the Anglo-Saxon talks and writes one thing and acts exactly the opposite. He has more illegitimates and half-breeds scattered over the earth, and among every race, tribe, and tongue, than all of the other races combined. He doesn't care how low-down in the scales of civilization and development the peoples are, he finds greater satisfaction in mixing with them socially than he seems to find in his own race, he likes the Nerone race because it is. not physically fagged out nor mentally jaded. It is young and vivacious; therefore, irresistible. Let us see why the white man pretends that he is opposed to inter-marriage. In the first place, the white man has set his race up as innately superior to other races. He needs every available support for his baseless claim. Prohibition of inter-marriage is one of the props upon which he depends for support. Then, he is under the delusion that he can keep his own race white, and, as he thinks, superior by not allowing any blood from other races to flow into it. Third, it is the Anglo-Saxon's nature to "hog" the earth, and, in keeping with that nature, he tries to maintain for himself an open social field in which he can roam at will and satisfy to the full his voluptuous, convivial, though jaded nature. Fourth, he has an unholy desire to teach the world that other races have no rights that his race is bound to respect. Fifth, he thinks that one of the ways to make his women socially happy is by keeping them under the debusion that their men abhor the dunker races. Sixth, to make other races look with longing eyes and yearning souls at the white man's tree of forbidden fruit—his women; he tries to keep for his exclusive use what, in his arrogance, he thinks every other race wants. Many white people think, that, in order to keep the Negro out of the white race, it is necessary to build a high social wall. It is necessary to build the wall ten times higher to keep the white man in his own race. This idea that man-made laws can keep the races of mankind apart, is preposterous. The fact of steadily progressing racial inter-mixture is unquestionable. With the increasing sense of social justice, the great question before the world today, is not the value of the blood which flows out of the Anglo-Saxon race into the darker races, but how long will the white man, who has stood guard for over a thousand years, trying to prevent the blood of other races from entering his race, be allowed to enter unchallenged the social confines of other races, to practice the most despicable misegement and wanton prodigality in utter disregard of his plighted troth in his own race and the right of other races to stand guard at the entrance to their races and defy entrance, to strew the earth with half-breeds and then refuse to give to his own progeny and to the race which he has thus exploited equal social status and economic opportunity? This mixed blood has no intrinsic value because it comes from a white race. The white man himself repudiates its color value. Educated, sensible Negroes, like educated, sensible white men, know the ultimate outcome of all of this clash of color. They are sensible enough to mix without ever desiring to marry. They are willing to bide nature's time and the processes of evolution. In the meantime, the Negro who knows, thinks, and believes, has taken a definite position on this question. It is sane and just. Let us state it. 1. The Negroes accepted and absorbed all of the mulattoes that were their slave-day inheritance; but they will fight to the end and all status-quo-antebellum social policies. White men's concubines and their offspring are as good, and in many cases a great deal better than their progenitors. It has been truthfully said that Booker T. Washington and men like him (and there are thousands like him in character and capacity) are better men than their white fathers. 2. The Negro is either good enough to inter-marry, or he is too good to "concubinate." It is a social crime, as well as a social injustice, to allow the men of one race to deposit, their offspring in another race and then make laws and regulations to keep their offspring and the race which gives their offspring a name and a place, from establishing themselves economically and socially. The Negro is opposed to inter-marriage for the following reasons: First—Because intermarriage is not in style YET. In less than two thousand years from now, the Negro will be restored to the color he was when he first entered Africa. Nature turned him black because environment demanded it. She will turn him back for the same reason. Second—Because, by generous mixing, the white man has made intermarriage unnecessary—right through here. By inter-marriage, the Negro is sure that he will get nothing but color from the white race, and he knows that he will get ostracism from his own race. It is too great a social sacrifice to be cut off from his own to get only color from the white race. Education and achievement will lift the social boycott. The white man has been generous enough to make white Negroes, as white for the Negro race, as he has made white whites for his own race. It is, therefore, unnecessary for members of the race seeking color only—or color and—to cross the line. Third—Because colored people are satisfied with their own. The Negro possesses all that is excellent in human endowment. Since we are speaking socially, let us behold his women—the crown and glory of his endowment. They have that dark, rich style of beauty, sustained and glorified by a voluptuousness and a vivaciousness that makes them transcendent and irresistible. Fourth—Because the Negro has a Divine mission, a distinct and valuable group contribution to make to the world, and he isn't going to lose the chance. The promise is to Ethiopia, and the Negro does not propose to sacrifice the lofty privilege of leading in the building of a civilization that will be more humanistic and more spiritual than the present. He is going to glorify the black race by distinct and varied achievement before he amplifies the white race by inter-marriage.

E. C. Graham, president of the Board of Education, commented those who had spoken for their fine presentation of the case on behalf of Captain Newman. He also advised the board members that if they had not already considered the various points raised in the arguments that it was not too late to do so. Mr. Camusi asked whether or not the rules of the board provided that in cases of a transfer, promotion or demotion, charges in writing should be preferred and the accused given a hearing. It was explained by Superintendent Ballon that only in cases involving moral conduct or dismissal from the service was it necessary for written charges to be preferred and a hearing given. The case of Captain Newman, he explained, has "to do with the professional and educational qualifications of an employee, and that matter is within the discretion of the board and the school officers." Vote Taken The report of the personnel committee was read by Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, its chairman. It recommended that Captain Newman be demoted, vive voce vote. During the presentation of Caption Newman's case by the various speakers, none of the colored members of the board spoke. Nor did either of them venture any comment before the vote was taken. The colored members of the board are: Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett. Friends of Captain Newman claim that the action of the board was inspired by Mrs. Coralie F. Cook. The appropriation act of 1825 provided an assistant principal and dean of girls for the Armstrong Technical High School. Upon the recommendation of Captain Newman, Miss Ora D. Wenver was appointed. Mrs. Cook, it is said, sought the appointment of Mrs. Harriet Brooks Allen, a graduate of Howard University. The failure of Captain Newman to support Mrs. Allen, his friends claim, caused him to incur the opposition of Mrs. Cook. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson the other colored members of the board of education voted in committee for the proposition to recommend his demotion. G. Davis Houston, assistant principal of Dunbar High School, is said to be slated to succeed Captain Newman. Appointed In 1916 Captain Newman was appointed principal of the Armstrong Technical High School in September, 1916. Under him the school has changed from a manual training to a technical school. It has increased in enrollment from about 300 to approximately 1,300 students, and the faculty has been about doubled. From 1919 to 1925, through lack of facilities, the school was compelled to conduct its work for nearly 1,200 students in a structure built to accommodate comfortably only 350 students, in 13 portables, and in 4 brick garages, scattered over two city blocks. In 1925 a new amex was completed as a total cost for building, ground and equipment of $816,500, making the total value of the Armstrong Technical High School plant $1,116,509. Captain Newman has a long and honorable military record. He served on the Mexican border in 1916 with the National Guard of the District of Columbia when they were mustered into Federal service. In the World War he went to France with the 367th Infantry, and commanded Company D, First Battalion, which became brigaded with the 157th French Division and he became the commanding officer of the first machine gun company. His command was given the Croix de Goune for bravery in action. Armstrong Students Return to their Classes Continued from page (1) ing quickly and quietly. Only 72 refused to walk out. The students' meeting was addressed by Manning Johnson, president of the Student Council, Radolph White, Theophilus Alexander, Philip Brooks and Tofus P. Turner. When the school authorities were notified of the action of the students, Mr. Wilkinson issued a statement in which he advised that many of the students were absent from school in violation of the compulsory school attendance law, which provides that all children under 16 years of age must attend school unless excused by the school officials. In addition to the action of the students, all but 6 of the 60 teachers and clerks at the Armstrong Technical High School have signed a resolution expressing confidence in Captain Newman. A mass meeting was held at the Lincoln Theatre Sunday and another one at the Armstrong Technical High School Monday night, protesting the proposed demotion of Captain Newman. The Women's Reconduican National Political Studies Club will hold an interesting meeting at the residence of Mrs. Jacqueline A. Cuney, 134 Seaton Place, Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock.

The committee said that they endowed to secure an adequate loan on the property by application to a large number of financial institutions and brokers, but in view of the nature of the building, the purposes for which it is to be used and the controversies existing, a sufficient amount of money to complete the structure could not be obtained. The report of the committee shows that the existing indebtedness on the building amounts to more than $20,178 The Onondago Litholite Company has a lien for $9,500 with interest from April 10, 1925, for granite. Charles H. Green has a lien for $10,300 for brick work. Charles S. Salin has a bill for brick for $378. The property is subject to a tax sale by reason of over due taxes. The taxes for the years of 1924 and 1925 have not been paid. The property is also subject to a judgment at law and the existing liens of record. The committee also reported that the District officials will not much longer countenance the building to remain in its present condition. They consider it a menace to public safety. One firm estimated that the building could be completed with certain changes in the plans for the sum of $175,000. Another firm estimated that it would cost approximately $350,000 to complete the structure. The Assets The assets of the New Masonic Hall Corporation consist of the ground at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, which was purchased at a cost of $39,650 at public auction in April, 1919, the unfinished structure, and real estate on Virginia Avenue, Southeast, appraised at $12,000. The construction of the unfinished building has cost $134,944.56. Court action was begun on March 17, 1925, when Charles D.

CLASSES IN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TO BEGIN | Beginning in February, the second semester, experimental classes in in- strumental.music will be conducted at the Cleveland School, 8th and T Sts. N. W. These classes will mark the beginning of-a definite project to de velope the orchestral work in the col Jered schools of the District of Colum. ia. ‘The effort. will be made to stimu. late public interest in the needs and possibilities of this work. Demon. strations bythe graded snd high ‘school orchestras will.be given local theatres and at Parent-Teacner Asso- ciation meetings. Forming these symphony orchestras throughout the country is everywhere conceded tobe one of the outstanding accomplishments -in public education during the last several years. Ex. perience, however, has shown that success has-been possible only where istruments, other than those ordi- narily owned’ by pupils but funda- mental to the complete orchestra, are provided by the schools. Classes in. orchestral instruments are for pupils'from grades from 5-8 inclusive, and the junior high schools. They are for beginners ana for those who have stuilied less than one year. The course is not designed for pu- pils who have studied undef a pri- vate teacher within the last six months. Piano classes are for. pupils from grades 4-8 inclusive and junior high schools. These classes are for. those who have not studied Jess than a year, for beginners, and not for pupils who studied under private instruction with- in six months. .

W. C. A. gymnasium here last Saturday. It was a hard fought game from: the start to the finish. Both teams were evenly matched, First one team was ahead and then the other. Neither team scored in the first five minutes. - Howard scored the first basket only to be evened by a field goal by the vsitors. Near the end of the half the Simmons boys were two points in front only to be passed by the home team and led by three points, the largest margin of the game, at the end of the half with the score 15-12, With a minute and a half to play and the score 20-20, Spears of How- ard broke the tie with'a free throw. Simmons, playing with the ided that a game is never over until the whistle blows, fought for a basket, The lanky Spears made a long shot from beyond the center of the floor which was the best shot of the game. Almost im- mediately Simmons came back with a field goal and pandemonium reigned. ‘There was a shrill piping of the whis- tle and the game was over with How- ard a one-point victor. ¢ Spears of Howard accounted ‘for nine of the locals’ points, and Dillard of Simmons made twelve for his team.

But in the case of the audience which received Mr. Paul Robeson on Tuesday night at Town Hall, New York, outdid itself and it is safe to say that its thundering re- ception was a personal tribute to the art of Mr. Robeson. Mr. Robeson was presented with Mr. Lawrence Brown, pianist, in “A Con- cert of Negro Music,” composed of Negro Folk songs and spirituals. Se- lections were rendered from Burleigh, Brown and Robinson. From the open: ing of the program, Mr. Robeson dom- inated his audiences completely by his Delta'Big FiveDefeats Appomattox The Delta Big Five of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity defeated the Appo- mattox A.

Brown Morehouse Wins Over Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, Ala—Before a crowd of at least 300 Spectators, the ame was called at 4 o'clock. Tuske- gee sprung a surprise. Coach Abbott undoubtedly sent in his second-string men in order to tire Morehouse out, Tuskegee used ten men. Coach Abbot's five-man defense was working per- fectly. There was also.a six-post de- fense onthe “gym” floor which worked to the disadvantage of the ma- Toon quintet. e Tuskegee men played with the same spirit that characterized their fight in football. Maxie at center and Howard. at forwasd were the only outstanding stars. Substitutes were so numerous that the others could not display their wares. Tuskegee was never able to forge ahead. M. Sykes although held scoreless was the life of the More- house ae His fight caused the Tigers fo continue clawing all through. the game. Traylor and clark played a hard game and kept Morehouse in the lead by well-timed shots. Archer and Dobbs were the flashes at guard. Their speedy ‘interceptions and acen- rate passing gave Morehouse the ball quite often. Final score: Tuskegee 24, More- house 29.

In Philadelphia Show Shops At the Dunbar Eddie and Earl, in a fine dancing act opened the bill. They have a fine assortment of numbers, including an Argentine, tango, walkz, Agache and a whirlwind number. If want over well to a small audience, Performers however appreciated the quality of the work greater than did the patrons who failed to recognize the extreme merit of an offering that would have been appreciated on a floor show. Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatric, (Sidney Kirkpatrick and his wife Laura Bowman of dramatic day fame) in "Late Hours" was next an act that became the talk of the town. The act is a scream based on the reversal of situations for a man about town who rarely returned to his home until 1 A. M. The Barsill Daises a girlie act surrounding a character actress (Mrs. Williams) was so effective as to warrant the act being engaged for the Standard Theater for the week of February 1, Babie Doris Wallace, Sammie Lewis, Billy Cornel, King Swage, Katie Baker, and Emanual Jones are the principals of the act. (Editor's note: This is the familiar Sammy Lewis tabloid Co. reviewed in this paper two weeks ago.) At the Standard Petway and Vanderhorst opened the show with a fast foot work act. John T. Gibson along with his audience smiled at the pep with which the boys started the show. Sandy Burns provided the bulk of the performance with his versatile company. The house orchestra contributes much to the way the show goes over in the house. It is composed of John T. Brown, George Bassquette, Charence Smith, Scott Burdette, Walter May and Leader; Charles Taylor, Jesse Dunson is house manager. Elk's Ramble On January 17, the O. C. Catto Lodge of Elks conducted a midnight ramble. Henry Thomas, M. Smith and the C. N. Comer Elks Quartette were the features of the special first part of the show. Miss Eva Chim was a pronounced hit.

PITTSBURGH BANK CLOSED BY STATE BANKING DEPARTMENT The Steel City Bank of Pittsburgh, a Negro owned institution, was closed last week by the State Bank Examiner. The closed bank occupied premises at 801 Wylie Avenue and on Bread Street in the East End. It was organized as a private partnership concern in 1919 by R. W. Hunter and Company. In 1921 it was incorporated under the present name and Rev. Moses Hunter, a brother of the founder was elected president. Rev. J. C. Austin became vice-president, and another minister, Rev. J. H. Robinson, Jr., held a place on the board. The other directors were a lawyer A. D. Stevenson, cashier; and J. H. Fletcher assistant cashier. The paid-in capital of the company is given as $89,960, the assets are $488,000, 40 per cent of which is in slow real estate paper. Deposits amount to $300,000 belonging to more than 5000 depositors.

The bank suffered from a steady stream of withdrawals rather than the usual excitable run. Peter G. Cameron, secretary of the State Banking Department assumed charge on January 21, and police service that was governing the crowds, thereafter operated under his direction. Rev. J. C. Austin of the Ebenezer Baptist Church was influentially connected with the banks, and funds of that church, together with the deposits of its members, contributed heavily to the assets of the institution. The board of directors and officer personnel according to the city directory information is remarkably deficient of names of persons with any previous financial experience. In the group of fifteen are found the names of a gardner, a janitor, and three laborers. Frank Jackson, already functioning as the receiver for the defunct Carnegie Trust Company, a white bank in the city, assumed charge of the institution as receiver on Monday with R.M. Ewing as counsel. MISSISSIPPI JURY FREES WHITE MAN OF MURDER IN LYNCHING COLLEMAN (Preston News Service) Clarksdale, Miss., Jan. 21-A verdict of not guilty was returned here late Wednesday in the case of G. O Cane, tried by a jury in Coaham County Circuit Court on a charge of murder in connection with the recent lynching of Lindsey Coleman after he had been freed by a jury. It is said that obeying a warning given by Judge Alcorn before the jury reported, no demonstration was attempted in the court when the verdict was read. The verdict was returned twenty-seven hours after the jury began its deliberations on Tuesday. Delay Other Lynchings Cases The cases against J. T. Trayham, H. S. Blockley and Thomas Nicholas, charged with murder as the result of a lynching, were passed until the February term of the court by agreement between the State and the defense.

Cane, who was acquitted by a jury here Wednesday of the murder or Lindsey Coleman, the man whom the men are charged with having lynched EDDIE LEMON SICK Eddie Lemon who organized the stock company that opened a week ago at the Regent, Theater, Baltimore, has been seriously ill since before the show opened. His wife has been in charge of the show while he has been confined to his bed at the home of the mother. It is reported that despite the fact that Lemon at the time was suffering intensely with a temperature of 106, the manager of the Regent called upon him early this week demanding his personal appearance at the theater, a request that if complied with would have perhaps killed the man.

Gunn has purchased out right the Pekin theater, Cincinnati. Films are the prevailing policy. Whether the future bills will be confined to films, has not been announced. Mary Stafford replaced Ethel Waters with Sam Salvin "Plantation Revue" at the Lafayette theater, New York two weeks since when the record artist for reasons not made public failed to fill the engagement after being heavily billed in Harlem. Doyle and Willie, Nuggie and Evie, were on the bill with Charles Glipin and company at the Royal theater Baltimore, last week. Nuggie, was credited with having some strong material in his act, that hurt it with many of the patrons. Quallie Clarke, the New York music composer and arranger, lost his wife who died quite unexpectedly last week at her home in the big city. New Circuit Promised Charles P. Bailey, owner of the 81 Theater, Atlanta, Ga., and a stockholder in the T. O. B. A. Circuit announces thru the papers that he is about to launch a new circuit. The Tribune has communicated with Mr. Bailey, and will have definite information for the profession on the new proposition. Whether the project is a definitely determined one to be carried to a fulfillment of whether it is a black jack to be utilized in making a deal with the T. O. B.A. will soon be disclosed. As the situation stands at present, there is every reason for the performer to welcome the injection of a competing booking organization into the field. RUNNIN' WILD IN TEXAS The "Runnin' Wild" company is now in Texas, playing this week in Dallas at the Ella B. Moore Theater. Thereafter the route calls for a week in Houston with Galveston for three nights, Beaumont for two days and Port Arthur for a one-nighter. Louis Azorsky is piloting the show now. The principals are Gallie Galveston, Albert W. Jackson, Alice Gorgas, John Henderson, Pete Nugent, Atta Blake, a recent addition! who is credited with being an excellent dancer. Miss Gorgas has provided the show with a mascot, a spitz dog that is being depended upon to change the luck of the gang. The foregoing is from the first annual letter of comedian Jackson to his Dad. In fairness to the young fellow, may it be said that once he determines to write a letter, that it is a missive filled with information. May he increase the output is our New Years hope. MAKING GOOD IN EUROPE The group of performers that Mons. Semier has taken to Europe who are now playing the Odean, Paris have more than made good, according to reviews in French Trade papers. One publication declares that the "American Negroes have conquered Paris," Maude DeForrest and Josephine Baker are the featured artists of the group. HANDY TO EDIT "BOOK OF THE Wm. Handy, the admitted "father of the blues" insofar as the publishing and popularizing of this particular type of music is concerned, has been engaged by a New York Book publisher to edit a BOOK of the BLUES hat will be sent to press in February. I. Cavarubbias, a Mexican artist has been engaged to illustrate the volume. New York papers have already been provided with advance publicity on the publication. The book will be priced at $3.00 or thereabout, and distributors are now being felt out as to the market possibilities. Mr. Handy is also the subject of a fifteen hundred word story that will appear in The New Republic magazine for February. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Police Who Made Unlawful Arrest Dismissed From Force ACTORS REST VINDICATED The courage of Garnet Warbington, a director of the Colored Actors Union, and that of his wife "Miss Charlesetta" known to the whole profession for the splendid meals served in their far-famed actors' boarding house on Seventh Street, Washington, whose insistence that punitive action be taken by the authorities against a quartette of policemen who early in December raided and levied tribute upon the guests of the house, was properly rewarded. It happened that the hotel is one that has always been cleanly operated and whose guests were legitimate performers with ample means of support without resorting to any of the practices that give bad odor to a hotel. The police found nothing that could be availed of as the source of hush money, except the need of the profession to avoid loss of work by being obliged to remain in town for trials. On this basis $21 dollars was collected, according to the allegations of Mr. Warbington. The police, however, had reckoned literally without their host; and Warbington promptly made complaint. The performers sustained him by repeatedly returning to the city from distant points to make appearances against the officers. After consideration by District Attorney Ralph Givens who suspended criminal action pending the presentation of the case to the Police Trial Board, the policemen Clyde H. Hogan and Charles W. Reid with several At The Howard The stock company at the Howard Theatre presented this week under the title of "In Dahoney" a typical bit and number production, was supplemented with the addition of two imported acts. Charles S. Gilpin supported by Barrington Carter and Blanch Merry was the featured addition, while Georgette Harvey with her "Runnin' Wild" quartette were the musical embellishments to the program. Both lived up to expectations, and gave novelty to the evening's entertainment. The house itself supplied several pleasing features. First, the programs handed out by the ushers that enabled patrons to identify the performers and song numbers, constituted a most pleasing innovation. Then, upon sitting down to find that one's clothes were not damaged by contact with the seats, gave another joy to a long-abused public. The absence of the marked odor of stuffiness helped, too. These may all be attributed to aggressive shirt sleeve efforts upon the part of the new manager, Charlie Bragg, who Jimmie Cooper has sent from New York to assist Mr. Lesser. The opening scene presenting a roof garden with a city's lighted buildings in the background and with lighting effects depicting the evening glow was an artistic triumph. Nine other scenes were presented by the stock group, Billy Cumby and Doc Straine providing the comedy elements. Maude Mills, Grace Smith, Bessie Brown and Babe Jackson in the female roles were supplemented by contributions from Mae Barnes, Miss Williams and Georgette Harvey of the quartette from "Runnin' Wild." Gilpin's work in "White Mule" while an excellent bit of dramatic work, did not meet the expectation of the Washington public due largely to the repugnance felt for the subject matter treated in "White Mule," his vehicle. Washington likes its tragedy to be of a less intimate character with a remote locale. Barrington Carter did quite as well in the role of a white man as did Lawrence Chenault who originated the part. Miss Merry was not so successful in her parts as had been Rose McClendon in whose stead she now appears. However, there is a speech or two by Gilpin in the sketch that arrests respectful attention. His work was somewhat minimized by the noise and mistakenly placed laughter from the gallery. Musical comedy does not offer the most favorable setting and atmosphere for deep tragic work. The going was made difficult in these several ways for Mr. Gilpin who at that, did well. He should have been accorded a special announcement to have obtained the maximum of favorable attention. "The march of the wooden soldiers." "After Tea" and "Vampires of Yesterday and Today" were all effective numbers well presented. So were the two Hawaiian effects. The girl quartette suffered not one whit from the male competitors that preceded them. Mae Barnes fot hers easily and Miss Harvey registered big with the two language offerings. Altogether the people got their money's worth. The Washington Tribune News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements years' of police service to their credit and L. L. Sebastian and Jeff O. Hicks, first-year men were dismissed from the service. The Board in announcing its decision made no comment. The dismissals were the outgrowth of an investigation into the raid and Hugh H. Groves, night inspectors, and Capt. Fred Cornwell, of the second precinct, who, during the investigation, was a lieutenant, commanding at night. Trial Lasts Month At the police board trial, which began Monday, December 7, and continued until the final secret conference at the District Building Saturday, the accused were represented by Attorney Morris Wampler. All denied accepting money. Eleven persons, including the manager of the hotel, Garret Warbington, and his wife charged that the four policemen broke into the hotel one night early last December and declared all under arrest on statutory charges. This, despite the fact that several of the teams stopping at the hotel had marriage certificates framed and exposed upon their dressers, a practice that prevails in the profession as a safeguard against such probabilities. Among the performers involved, every one of whom loyally sacrificed engagements and railway fare to defend their honor and that of the Actor's Rest, were Perry and Perry, Goodner and Williams, and White and White. T. O. B. A. Officials Visit Washington T. O. B. A. Officials Visit Washington Milton B. Starr, president of the Theatre Owners Booking Association and owner of the Bijou Theatre in Nashville, was a visitor in Washington this week. He conferred with S. H. Dudley, eastern manager and vice president of the circuit. Neither party would give out any information as to the subject matter under discussion. It may be safely presumed, however, that the program of matters to be brought before the stockholders at the forthcoming meeting was arranged. Prospective competition from threatened circuit organizations, too, may have been discussed. Mr. Starr left for Birmingham on Monday night. He was accompanied to Washington by W. B. Arnold, publicity agent of the circuit who remained in Washington until Thursday night when he left to join Mr. Starr in the South. Arnold, though credited with being a time, for he made no conspicuous e-fpublicity hound, was evidently more intent upon confidential matters this forts to establish newspaper contacts. Theatre owners and officials on the time seem to be traveling much more than are the acts just now. This activity promises either some highly interesting news at the "Big Meeting," or some mighty capable diplomatic work that must be concluded before the session is called. New Stomp Blues Spencer Williams the popular composer has placed a new low down blues stomp entitled: GEORGIA GRIND" with the Bud Allen Music Co. 1547 Broadway, New York City.

SMARTER SET DECLINES 81 ENGAGEMENT Whitney and Tutt, owners of the Smarter Set show, who have applied for membership in the Colored Actors Union, and who have provided an excellent letter of complaint to present to the T. O. B. A. meeting, have advised that they were obliged to forego playing Atlanta, because the offer of terms from Mr. Bailey was inadequate to the needs of the show. The show jumped from Macon, Ga. to Greenville, S. C. for the week of Jan. 19.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926 Lucky Sambo Praised By Nelse Lucky Sambo, the Columbia wheel show was reviewed last week in New York by Nelse, of the Billboard, the foremost reviewer of burlesque in America, and the whole attraction is praised by the writer who last autumn spoke in hesitating terms of the work of the comedians who at that time had not worked together and were not familiar with the burlesque field. Nesle said: "Monday night we found little apparent change in the production, scenic and lighting effects, gowning and costuming, which were on a par with its premiere presentation. There have been several changes made in the presentation of scenes that in our personal opinion worked to the advantage of presentation and performers. "The co-featured coniques, Higgins and Byrd have struck their stride in co-operative comedy making, that includes a clear, distinct, emphatic delivery of lines that enables their auditors to get the full meaning of lines and follow them to their final punch for responsive laughter and applause. "Gertrude Saunders has been succeeded by Julia Moody, an exceptionally light-completion ingene, blues singing specialist, whose versatility enables her to work in scenes like a thoroughly seasoned actress of exceptional ability that is enhanced by her pleasing personality. "Phillips and Cassidy, two nattily attired juveniles, put over a nifty dancing specialty that fully merited the encores given their act, supplementing with work in scenes that materially aided the presentation. "Comiques Higgins and Byrd put their running number over for repeated encores. Comique Byrd and Julia Moody, leading lady, had a highly amusing bit together with Billy Ewing as the uniformed cop. Arthur Porter led several numbers in song, supplementing with a nifty dance for the close of ensemble number. Julia Moody could have held the stage indefinitely with her blues singing specialty and Hawaiian dancing in leading the ensemble for the close of the show. "Sherman Dirksen, a classy young juvenile, stepped out of the ranks and proved title to dynamic dancing specialist. Ernest R. Whitman, singing "Pal of My Cradle Days" was emotionally dramatic in his singing and recital. "The Three Dixie Songbirds garnered new laurels for their combined singing and dancing specialty that had to be repeated innumerable times are the customers would permit their final exit. "The chorus has few if any equals in burlesque. They are not only personally attractive in their classy, colorful costumes, with tights and oper-length hose in all their ensembles excepting the Hottentot number, for they sing in harmony and dance in unison with dynamic speed. "Taking it all in all," Lucky Sambo, is in a class by itself, a company of colored entertainers par excellence, who will please any and all patrons of this type of theatrical entertainment. "We reviewed the production and presentation in detail in August and conceded the production to be in a class of its own in quality and quantity par excellence. "We commended the presentation as a whole, by giving Ernest R. Whitman justifiable recognition for his personality, talent and versatile ability as an actor and vocalist, and the same was applicable to Al F. Watts, Arthur Porter, Billy Ewing, George Phillips and the Three Dixie Songbirds; Hilda Perleno, Berleanna Blanks and Amanda Randolph, and the chorus ensemble. "We felt fully justified at the time of our previous review in criticizing Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd, the cofeatured comiques, for their monotone in the delivery of their lines, and Gertrude Saunders for her very apparent off-key vocalism. "The Cast—Billy Higgins, Joe Byrd, Julia Moody, Ernest R. Whitman, Arthur Porter, Al F. Watts, Billy Ewing, George Phillips, Hilda Perleno, Berleanna Blanks, Amanda Randolph. "The Chorus-Girls: Adele Williams, Lillian Williams, Adelaide Jones, Anita Alexander, Virginia Wheeler, Albertina Coney, Grace Michaels, Julia Robinson, Dorothy Wilson, Julia Sanchez, Roberta Lowry, Ruth Lambert, Marion Gee, Edna Gee, Edna Young, Elsie Fisher, Ethel Taylor, Lolita Hall, Marie Fraine, Linda Nicholson, Esther Hunt.

Critic of Great New York Times Discusses Artists and Spirituals Rosamond Johnson who for many seasons played on the Keith time as conductor of a band presented in vaudeville, and who, in fact holds the record for continuous bookings on the big time having done six consecutive years without loss of a week, has abandoned that phase of entertainment for the more lucrative and more dignified concert platform, was the subject of lengthy discussion in the columns of the New York Times last week. W. J. Henderson makes a very exhaustive review of the spirituals with Johnson as the special vehicle of this harmony under consideration. Mr. Henderson said, in part, to the 700,000 readers of the Times. Rosamond Johnson. Swinging the lantern through the shadows of the past few days one discovers that the outstanding personality is Rosamond Johnson. Of course Taylor Gordon occupies a place in the light, but somehow that crouching figure at the piano and than low, faint, sepulchral voice chain the thought. This writer knows no other artist who can equal Rosamond Johnson in his particular accomplishment, which is not easy to define. He is too young to have known slavery days and conditions. He is and educated man and a trained musician. Yet he sings and plays accompaniments for spirituals as if he had lived through a whole library of Uncle Tom's cabins. But always behind everything he does, no matter how realistic, and in some moments even seemingly elemental, there lurks the spirit of the artist. Yes, Rosamond Johnson was the foremost personality of the past few days and together with Gordon Taylor he has revitalized the spiritual, which was pretty nearly drowned under the flood of sophistication. After all, the spirituals demands more consideration because it can bear sophistication without losing its quality. "Deep River," sung with the utmost perfection of tone production, intonation and nuance by the lieder singer, is still a characteristic folk song. But when he is sung by Gordon and Johnson it is the proclamation of a faith. A permanent folk song is the product of a combination of race, period and conditions.

The Pilgrims of blessed memory lacked the musical bent. To this day their descendants lack it. This does not mean that music is unpopular in New England, nor even that there is no folk song there, since every one knows that there is: but singing and playing are not inseparably woven with the expression of the New Engl and soul. The lasting expressions of the New England spirit are to be found in literature, not in music. One seeks in vain for names of composers to set beside the literary immortals, Emerson, Whittier, Holmes and Lowell, this, too, is doubtless due to the triumphant individuality of the Puritan fathers. Bancroft dwells upon it with eloquence. The Puritans' religion rested partly upon a splendid pride. He was not one to humble himself before priesthood, nor to bow his head in silent confession of unworthiness. He looked heaven in the eye and knew himself to be one of the chosen. He had defied and beaten oppression and was clothed in the glory of independence. From such a soul the agencies of cries for succor could not come. The Puritan hymn was a hymn, an office of the church, and it was something to be done properly. David Gamut was not the only one to teach psalmody to the youth of New England. From such singings as these influences brought forth the spirit of true group singing was conspicuously absent. But the Negro lyrics were all made for group singing, and their furthest flight of musical sophistication was in exotic harmonies, known to the ribald as the barber shop chord. This was an eager sought effect. The real Negro harmony was something to be felt rather than thought. And the basic feeling underlying all the slave songs as passionate yearning for the help that could not be got from man. It was not at random that Rosamond Johnson chose for the first spiritual in his collection "Go Down, Moses," "Way down in Egypt Land," "Tell ole Pharhoat to let my people go." That is the cry of a people, the agony of a race. MES and THEATRE MANAGERS concate with the D. B. A.

He was a member of the Supervising board of Grandmasters, and one of the most ardent of Grandmasters in support of the Deacons. His influence will be much missed.

That's what the title is now as the "Shufflin' Sam" Co, passed thru Washington to Baltimore, the animal trainer stopped off, engaged a theater owner for a taxi driver and went to the National office of the Deacons where he laid before that officer his cards paid up for the current year in every branch up to and including the Consistory on Jan. 10—some ahead, we'll say. With all that, and the records confirming the status of his lodge, there was nothing to do but issue his card and other evidences of being a "Deacon."
