FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION SCHO BOB CHURCH'S SELECTION IS APPROVED R. R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., attended the hearings last week before a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the nomination of Harry B. Anderson to be judge of the United States District Court for the western district of Tennessee. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Church and Representative J. Will Taylor, Republican National Committeeman for Tennessee, Judge Anderson was appointed to succeed the late Judge J. W. Ross. During last summer, Mr. Church and Mr. Taylor made a trip to Swampscott, Mass., to urge President Coolidge to give Judge Anderson a recess appointment, which the President did. The nomination of Judge Anderson brought forth bitter opposition. Charges of the use of money, however, in connection with the appointment were abandoned. William F. Zumbrunn, attorney for the Ku Klux Klan, was the chief counsel for those opposing the confirmation of Judge Anderson. The Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to approve the nomination. Mr. Church was not required to testify. A. M. E. Zion Bishops Meet in New Orleans New Orleans, La.—The regular midwinter meeting of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church met this year in New Orleans. Aside from routine business, hearing reports of Departments and planning for future activity, it was shown that the denomination had passed through its most prosperous year. Conversions had been doubled, educational facilities increased, and the general claims reported under the budget system were the largest raised in all the history of the church. The bishop arranged for the special drive for Livingstone College, of $250,000, to begin February 10th, the birthday of the late Dr. J. C. Price, the founder of the school. The General Conference Commission was appointed and will meet next month to decide the place of holding the General Conference of 1928. An office building was purchased in Washington, D. C., said to be the most commodious owned by Negro Methodism in the country. Awarded $10,000 Damages New Orleans, La., Jan. 22.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has just affirmed a judgment of the United States District Court at Jackson, Miss, declaring the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company a nuisance and awarding damages to Mrs. Mary Ragland and her niece, Miss Mildred Ross, who were represented by Attorney S. D. Redmond. The suit was filed in 1923. Mrs. Ragland and Miss Ross charged that the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company conducted its mill in such a manner as to cause large amounts of dust, lint and debris to fly from its mill over the home of Mrs. Ragland, which is directly in front of the mill. They charged that this dust, lint and debris had caused them much annoyance and worry for a long time and its inhalation had made them ill and impaired their health. The United States District Court at Jackson, Miss., rendered a judgment in favor of Mrs. Ragland and Miss Ross. The Buckeye Cotton Oil Company appealed to the United States Circuit Court here. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The total amount to be assessed against the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company will be more than $10,000. This will include damages as well as court costs. The company will be enjoined from operating its mill in such a way as to constitute a nuisance. The Buckeye Cotton Oil Company mill is probably the largest industrial plant in Jackson, Miss. They were represented by Attorneys Watkins, Watkins and Eager and Densmore, Shohl and Sawyer, Attorney Redmond appeared for Mrs. Ragland and Miss Ross in both courts. The Washington Tribune Colored Members Merely DEATH CLAIMS Tools is Charge: Relatives THE MOTHER OF Favored for Positions GEO. A. ROBINSON Members of the Board of Education are arrogant, discourteous to parents, unresponsive to the real needs of the schools and, in some instances unfitted to serve. These are the charges that have been made by reputable residents of Washington, who have children in the schools. They followed within a week the action of the Board of Education in demoting Captain Arthur C. Newman from principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to the rank of military instructor with a loss in salary of $1,300 a year. These charges were made before a subcommittee of the House District Committee, which held hearings Tuesday on the Gasque bill for an elective board of education. The most sensational and direct charges were made by Captain Julius I. Peyser, former insurgent member of the Board of Education. His charges, in substance, were: 1. Star chamber sessions of the board were held constantly during his term of office in direct violation of the law. 2. No board member ever gets a second term if he or she opposes the "regulars." 3. One woman board member has a son who was recently appointed, as a teacher of applied arithmetic at Central High school and a colored member has a sister who has just been given an apositive job as secretary of a community center. 4. Report of standing committees of the board are practically all written by school officials, not by committee members. 5. Ernest Greenwood failed to be elected president of the board at the time of Peyser's appointment in 1923 through underground politics of board members. 6. No news of any importance is ever issued from Franklin School. School officials confine themselves to propaganda and minor news. 7. The superintendent of schools should be interested in educational affairs only. He should not be a lobbyist or propagandist. The School Board, not the superintendent, should have entire charge of school business affairs, aside from purely educational matters. Captain Peyser cited several cases where teachers have been demoted or forced to resign without hearing and without knowledge of the charges brought against them as in the Newman case. He declared that Mrs. Laura Morgan and William. L. Houston had failed of reappointment because they would not do the biddings of Superintendent Ballou. At the Tuesday night session, highhanded, autocratic rule of the school system, with the Board of Education as "yes" men and women, was charged by witnesses before the subcommittee. Among those who appeared were Huber Brown and L. D. Hoffman. They charged that teachers were discriminated against unless they had "pull" with Superintendent Ballou and his "pivot" men. Famous English Beauty Marries American Negro Famous English Beauty Marries American Negro London, Eng., Jan. 21.—George Lattimore, an American Negro, and known here as the manager of the business interests of Dolores, famous English beauty brought into prominence by Jacob Epstein, sculptor, is referred to as the third of Dolores' matrimonial ventures. It has been authentically announced that "Dolores" has married George Lattimore. Mrs. Lattimore is referred to as one of the mysterious figures of London's bohemian life, the cause of much speculation from Whitechapel to Mayfair. She is a woman of exotic beauty, and has posed for Epstein as a model. It was he who brought Dolores into prominence. This is her third marriage, all her husbands being alive. The Tuesday Evening Club of Social Workers held a special meeting Tuesday evening at the Phyllis. Wheatley "Y. W," and completed arrangements for the ball to be given at the Colonelan February 5th. The reservations that have been taken indicate a large attendance. NORTHERN VA. ELKS FORM ORGANIZATION A. McKinley Thomas, District Deputy of Northern Virginia called a conference of all deputies, organizers and Exalted Rulers, past and present of Northern Virginia, Shenandoah Valley and Fredericksburg, Virginia, to meet at the office of Brother H. Edward Green, 2001 9th street, N. W. Washington, D. C. January 21st. Brother H. Edward Green, Associate Grand Organizer of the World presided. Matters of vast interest to individual lodges were presented and the State of Virginia, and the Grand Lodge, were discussed. This meeting was the first of its kind ever held in this part of the State. Brother A. McKinley Thomas, the sponsor of the movement, stated the meeting far exceeded his hopes both in enthusiasm and in the fact that a permanent organization was formed which promises to be a boon to Elkdom in this part of Virginia. Among the laudable purposes of the organization are the following: 1st, closer and more intimate relationship between District Deputies and Lodges 2nd, closer and more fraternal relationship between lodges of this section of Virginia; 3rd, a better exhibition of the spirit of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity between officers and representatives of the Grand Lodge and the subordinate lodges of this section, and 4th, but not last, the encouragement of a better civic pride in our young men, with a view towards instilling in them the use, privilege and advantages of the ballot, and many other ideas designed to make better citizens of our youths. No other organization is better fitted for these purposes than the Order of Elks. Northern Virginia is sensitive to this fact and has thus arisen to the occasion. The officers are as follows: H. Edward Green, chairman; Geo. Witheral Strasburg, district deputy Shenandoah Valley, vice-chairman; J. Royal Simms, E. R. Leesburg, secretary; Edmund Fleet, special deputy, Arlington; Robert Ruffin; E. R. Warrenton, treasurer; J.-W. Nickens, E. R. Front, Royal, chaplain. The trustees are: A. McKinley Thomas, district deputy, N. Virginia, Vienna; M. A. Richardson, assistant grand organizer, Arlington, E. C. Green, E. R. Vienna. All past and present officers in the area north of Richmond are eligible for admission. The next session will be held March 22nd, at 2001 9th St., N. W., at the office of the chairman, H. Edward Green. A. McKinley Thomas was appointed publicity agent for the conference Negro History Week Popular The call of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History on the celebration of Negro History Week has met with a most favorable response throughout the country. It seems that the public has been awaiting such an idea. Citizens in all states are offering their assistance in making the celebration a success. Among the persons interested are the teachers in the public schools, heads of the various systems, presidents of colleges, churchmen, and men of achievement in other important lines. The Superintendent of the State of New York will take note of it in his bulletin to schools. The Department of Public Instruction of Utah says that the idea will find a willing response on the part of the schools in that state. The Department of Education of Arkansas says, "We shall be glad to carry out any suggestions you have to make in bringing this matter before the colored teachers of Arkansas." (Continued on page 7) Mrs. Margaret J. Randall, for many years a resident of this city, and mother of George A. Robinson, well known business man of this city, died at her late residence Sunday morning at 10:40. She was 76 years old. Mrs. Randall was not ill very long, as a short time before her death she was preparing to attend church services, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church where she was a member. Funeral services were held from Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Wednesday. Rev. Chas, E. Stewart, officiating. Interment was in Payne Cemetery. Mrs. MARGARET J. RANDALL Margaret J. Randall was born in 1850 in Brunswick Co., Va. She married Alexander Robinson in 1868. After the death of her first husband, she re-married in 1901 to Robert Randall of Suffolk, Va., where she lived until 1906, when her second husband died. She then came to Washington and made her home with her son, Geo. A. Robinson. She is survived by one son, George A. Robinson of 1726 U Street, Northwest, five step-sons, two step-daughters and two grandons, Jackson and George A. Robinson, Jr. Garvey's Sentence May be Commuted The five-year sentence which Marcus Garvey, self-styled "provisional president of Africa," is serving in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., may be commuted. Political pressure is being applied to bring about his release. His case is being studied by Department of Justice officials with a view to making a recommendation to the President. Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, admitted that he had talked with Justice Department officials recently in regard to the case. He stated that he had advised the commutation of Garvey's sentence. In the event that Garvey is released, it is thought that he will be deported immediately. He is a British subject. He came to the United States from the West Indies but never completed his naturalization in this country. A warrant for his deportation will await his release from the penitentiary. Garvey was convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sail of worthless stock in the Black Star Line, Inc., a corporation having for its purpose the acquisition and operation of steamships, which were to transport to Africa followers of Garvey and material to build an African empire. Relatives in Washington have been apprised of the appointment of J. M. Stackett, Jr., as a member of the State Returning Board of Rhode Island by the Governor. This is the first time a Negro has served in this capacity. Mr. Stackett graduated from Howard University twelve years ago and received his degree in 1914. He went to Providence and took up the practice of law, and by close application he has thus brought honor on his family and his Alma Mater. WORDS AND MUSIC BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEWMAN REPORT VOW! SOMEBODYS OUTA TUNE. Admit Teachers Have Failed to Qualify for Positions They Hold In its answer to the suit of Miss Mabel M. Jackson, of 1834 Ninth street, northwest, the Board of Education denies that Miss Jackson is being deprived of her rank and emolument as a high school teacher by the continuance of Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster street, northwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh street, northwest, upon their duties as teachers of domestic art in the Armstrong Technical High School. Miss Jackson petitioned the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the Board of Education to declare these two positions vacant and to appoint her to one of them as a probationary teacher of domestic art. The Board of Education in its answer admitted that neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell was qualified as a teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools. Neither possesses a college degree, neither is a graduate of an accredited normal school and neither has passed a competitive examination for teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools, the Board admits. Miss Burrell was originally appointed to teach in the graded schools, the Board says in its answer, on October 11, 1923, and has been teaching in the Armstrong Technical High School since October 1, 1923. She teaches dressmaking. Miss Jennings was appointed a teacher of sewing in the vocational grade schools in October, 1913, and on September 12, 1917, she was transferred to the Armstrong Technical High School as a teacher of tailoring, the Board says in its answer. The subjects of tailoring and dressmaking, the Board says, are trade and vocational subjects and Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell are engaged in teaching these trade and vocational subjects in the Armstrong Technical High School, but are not high school teachers and are not classified as such. The board states in its answer that prior to 1916 considerable difficulty was encountered by the public school system in obtaining competent vocational instructors to teach trades and vocations in the public schools for the reason that the basic salaries paid to such teachers upon their appointment were greatly below their earnings if engaged in their trades outside the public school system. phone school, December 19, 1923, Miss Jackson took an examination, which she successfully passed. She and one other person were duly reported to the Board of Education as eligible for appointment as teachers of domestic art in the senior high schools. Miss Jackson was first on the eligible list and was notified of her standing on February 14, 1924. She claims that but for the alleged detailing or transferring of Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell, there would be two vacancies existing in the Armstrong Technical High School, to either of which she would be entitled if they be declared vacant.

SOMEBODYS TA TUNE ERS Have No Qualify for positions They Hold DECLINES TO ACCEPT CALL TO LINCOLN The Rev. Joseph Lyons Ewing of Rahway, Synodical Superintendent of the Committee of National Missions, Synod of New Jersey, has decided not to accept the invitation of the Board of Trustees to become President of Lincoln University. The Rev. Dr. Ewing's selection as university head provoked a controversy which lasted nearly three months. While the majority of trustees sided with the alumni, members of the faculty and students called upon him to refuse the appointment. The alumni, in making public their opposition to the Rev. Dr. Ewing, said it was based on his lack of experience in the administrative affairs of educational institutions and his unfamiliarity with conditions and larger problems dealing with the Negro. Graduates of the university have been informed that the request recently made by the Alumni Association for the election of an alumnus on the Board of Trustees to interpret the Negro viewpoint has been denied. Schools Graduate Large Classes (By E. T. Rouzeau) Dear Lord, in the battle that goes through life, We ask but a field that is fair A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; And if we should win, let it be by the code, With our hearts and our honors held high. And if we should lose, let us stand by the road, And cheer as the winners go by. Mothers and fathers whose hearts were filled with pride, relatives, and friends, fond memories revived; and thirty-three sons and daughters on the eve of graduation perhaps offered the above little prayer. Such was the pathetic scene prevented in the assembly room of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School on the occasion of the mid-year graduation ex- (Continued on page 7) 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS ARED R. R. HORNER LOOMS AS NEXT JUDGE The race for the judgement, made vacant by the death of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell, seemed to have progressed very quietly until this week, when some of the local leaders became incensed with the attitude of some of the supporters of the candidacy of Attorney Jas. A. Cobb. According to the story going the rounds, his friends charge national committeeman Perry W. Howard with having interfered in the matter. They claim he made some laudatory remarks concerning the candidacy of Attorney R. R. Horner. National committeeman Howard denied that he had in any vase middled in the candidacy for the judgeship He said he considers it a local matter and is having nothing to do with it. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, president of the Coolidge-Dawes Republican League, and one of the local leaders, stated to a Tribune reporter that the cry of outside interference certainly could not be raised by Attorney Cobb's friends, because most of their candidate's support is from out of town. Continuing, Attorney Jones, named William H. Lewis, and Clarence Matthews both of Boston. Both Lewis and Matthews were in the city Thursday and active in the interest of Attorney Cobb. So far, this is the first sigh of the awful strain each candidate has been undergoing during the past three weeks. From reliable sources it was stated that a name has been sent to the White House and all that is necessary is for President Coolidge to okey it and send it to the Senate for confirmation. This is expected now at any day. Defender to Close Local Office Announcement was made this week that The Chicago Defender will discontinue its local branch office here, February 1st, which it has maintained for the past four years. The circulation of the Defender will be handled in Washington by the District News Agency (white.) The office here at one time had a manager and several assistants, but during the past year, these have been reduced to just one person. This policy of retrenchment on the part of the Defender's management is not local in any wise as the branch office in New York City will also be closed and all employees dismissed. As in Washington, the papers will be distributed in New York by a white agency. Virgin Islanders Visit Capital Virgin Islanders Visit Capital A delegation is here from the Vir- Islands to urge upon Congress the passage of legislation affecting these islands, which the United States purchased from Denmark in 1917. The delegation consists of D. Hamilton Jackson, an attorney and member of the Colonial Council of St. Croix. H. Berg, also a member of the Colonial Council of St. Croix, and J. Bestres, a member of the Colonial Council of St. Thomas and St. John. They will very likely appear before the House Committee on Insular Affairs and urge the passage of the bill to give the-Virgin Islands a permanent form of government. The naval appropriations bill, which is under consideration by the Congress, carries an item appropriating the sum of $280,000 for the temporary government of the Virgin Islands. It is provided, however, that no part of this sum shall be paid to anyone holding office in the Colonial Council of the Virgin Islands or other public office under the government of these islands, who owes allegiance to any other country than the United States. After the purchase of the Virgin Islands, the inhabitants were given the opportunity of retaining their allegiance to the Danish Government.

Dudley) Washington, D. C. Question.—I am bringing my troubles to you. I have read your valuable replies to questions asked by other readers, and they have helped me, too. Will you kindly recommend a cure for blackheads and pimples?—Mrs. I. T. Answer.—Blackheads are grease and dirt, which have become solid in the glands and clogged them. They are the result of poor circulation and digestive disturbances, caused by constipation and are usually the result of over-indulgence in rich, greasy foods, sweets and highly-seasoned dishes. Local applications are excellent in hastening the cure, but the blood needs the first attention. Drink quantities of water, indulge in fresh air exercises and do not permit constipation to exist, for if you do so you will never be rid of blackheads and pimples. For external treatment, a thorough cleansing of the skin each night with Mme. Dudley's Peroxide Cold Cream will greatly improve your comelion. --- Question.—My hair is turning gray and I am very anxious to dye it. Please recommend a reliable liquid hair dye. Do you think that hair dye is injurious to the hair?—R. S. Answer.—In competent hands, dyeing the hair holds no danger, but it may be found necessary to prepare the hair before it will accept the proper dye. This process is best left in the hands of a competent hairdresser. If you will send me self-addressed stamped envelope, I will send you particulars concerning a reliable liquid hair dye, that is not affected by shampooing, straightening or waving. Question.—What will stop falling hair when dandruff is thick?—Lottle. Answer—Keep the hair and scalp clean at all times. Relieve the hair and scalp of dandruff by means of persistent treatments with Mine. Dudley's Dandruff and Tetter Ointment. Vigorously brush the hair and massage the scalp every day as this will help keep the scalp loose. By following these few simple rules, you should enjoy the pleasure and benefits of a healthy growth of hair. flour, add the cut liven, and a sprinkle of curry powder if liked. Simmer gently for ten minutes. Serve garnish with toast points. How to Answer Telephone From Two Different Rooms A place for the telephone was solved in one home by cutting a hole (18x20 inches) in the wall and making a cupboard of it. A casing and door were put on each side, the doors closing with a pressure catch. When not in use it is out of sight and there is room on the little shelf which is the depth of the wall, for the telephone to sit and for a note pad. The telephone book hangs on the inside of one of the doors. The telephone can be answered from either the living room or the kitchen. Attend to Seasonal Devices It is particularly important to leave in good condition any device having seasonal use. In putting away for the winter such equipment as an oil range, be sure the burners are clean. Store it where it will not be exposed to dampness and dust, and before putting it to use again go over it thoroughly, giving special attention to the burners. Wallpaper Can be Painted If Stuck Tight to Walls It is perfectly feasible to calcimine or paint over wallpaper if the paper is tight all over the walls. However, it is so little trouble to take paper off of walls that we never recommend this procedure. No matter how carefully you apply your material you will find that the paper will absorb a great deal of it, leaving flat spots here and there that are unsightly. Also, the seams show thorough calcimine or paint far more distinctly than before, it is applied. Another bad feature is that if the paper should ever absorb any moisture it is liable to peel off and take the calcimine or paint with it. Taking it altogether, we do not favor the idea of putting anything of a decorative nature over wallpaper, although it is frequently done on cheap jobs. An arrangement of side lights as novel as it is pretty and practical is lanterns above the bookcases. Old brass candlesticks are wired for the lamps on the long table, shaded with dull gold silk shades finished on the edges with a bit of twisted silk in two colors. Avoid affectation; you appear ridiculous. Be simple and plain. If the company in which you are spending the evening is a little lower than your social plane, do not adopt superior airs. Loss of Hair Loss of hair from a man's head is a great misfortune, but from a woman's it is a tragedy. This trouble has many origins—principally nervousness, impaired circulation and nectar. Three things essential to arrest falling hair are a systematic upbuilding of the health, massage and absolute cleanliness, with frequent shampooing to keep the hair and scalp free from dandruff. It is perfectly natural for the hair to fall in small quantities occasionally but if it comes out at an alarming rate, begin a vigorous treatment both internally and externally to remedy it. Shampooing with cheap, harsh soaps and powders and the use of unclean brushes and combs are frequent causes of falling and lustless hair. Dandruff must never be neglected, as its natural end lies in baldness, and a shampoo properly performed is as good as a scalp treatment and has a beneficial effect because it quickens the circulation, increases the blood supply and keeps the scalp clean and healthy, thereby promoting the growth of the hear. Beauty Maxims Don't overtax the stomach, by pouring into it any and every kind of food and drink. Upon this organ depends much of our bodily health which in turn determines to a great extent our foundation for beauty. Treat the stomach kindly and it will reciprocate in kindness by aiding both health and beauty. Don't forget to smile. It will soon become a habit and one of the best habits one can form, for every woman looks better smiling, and one can not think wrinkle-forming thoughts with a smile on the face. If there are cobwebs in your mind take the broom of enthusiasm and sweep them down. YOUR LETTERS Mme.

Bright treatment for blonde and golden shades of hair. Day and Evening Instructions by Mme. CATLIN, a Graduate of Marcel, New York City 700 T Street, N.W., Second Floor Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Answers to Queries I have two girls in the same city; one girl whom I love and she really loves me, too; and there's another who is a grass widow and has a friend, but seems to like me best. The first girl has no one but me. Tell me what I should do. My dear Anxious: I wish to be pardon for such a long delay in writing you but there were quite a few letters ahead of yours, however. I will do my best this week to answer your question. In the first place, Anxious, what are you doing playing two girls in the same town? I see right off you are not serious and to be frank with you the first girl, who really loves you and has no other bean but you, is putting too much confidence in you. However, if you really want to do the right thing and are sineer, take the single girl who loves you and you love her. No doubt, there has been quite a bit of courtship going on between you two and you have caused her to select you from all her other suitors as her "hers," to worship and adore—then why not play fair with her and let the other girl go. What does the other girl mean to you? In the first place she has an attachment which must be broken by law before you can marry her; secondly she already has a friend, with whom you must run in opposition; and lastly, she seems only to admire you and not really love you, so why waste your time with this girl who probably might be simply flirting with you for pasttime, when you have a nice innocent, faithful girl who loves you devotedly. Perhaps you will be like all the rest, simply to show the other guy you can beat his time, sacrifice your first love and just for a little note, try to win the grass widow, who is having the time of her life watching your movements for "A fool there was and he made his prayer, Even as you and I, To a rag, a bone and a hank of hair, Even as you and I. We called her the woman who did not care, The fool called her his lady fair; Even as you and I." Then after the little game is over and you have won and the other fellow is cast off—remember you will be only king for a short while, before her fancy will change and she will seek another—then what have you done, where will you go? Your first love is either lost or found another more faithful—so after all in trying to gain you have lost all. Think well before it is too late—take my advice stick to the little girl who loves you and you won't go wrong. Grass wilds are trickly—once and awhile you might run across one who is square, but it is like finding a needle in a hay-stack. Write me later and tell me of your decision. Dear Vee Tee Tee: What do you think of the idea which most men have of wanting a wife who is as innocent as a new-born babe when they have been guilty of the wildest acts of indecency and have sown wild oats rashly? We have been arguing this question, so I suggested asking you. Yours, MARIE. Dear Marie: If you have kept up with my writings and know the trend of my thought you can almost tell what my answer is going to be. I never have been in favor of double standards. But as you say sometimes the most immoral men will break an engagement with a girl if he is told of the slightest streak of yellow in her life. Who is responsible for this state of affairs? I say the women. A woman who has lived a clean and virtuous life will marry a man without any thought or question as to what his previous life has been and without an inquiry into his family or acquaintances. In fact some women will go so far as to say, they prefer ```markdown ``` THE FASHION REVIEW BY-MAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature plain in front. Fulness in the skirt comes at the sides, and in the back of the bodice simulates a bolero. This jacket opens upon a braceade of red and gold. Gold filigree buttons march down one side of the bolero and gold embroidery to represent butonholes is worked along the other side. Gold thread is repeated in the trimming on collar and cuffs. The costume is finished with a smart turban made with drapings of steel gray velvet and a crown of red to match the crepella. For mid-season wear, a dress of this type is quite invaluable. For one thing, it can be worn until a decision is arrived at concerning our spring costume. It requires some study this year to make a selection, for there is great variety among the styles promising for the coming season. Shoulder flares appearing either front or back are especially stressed. Some cuts are circular and others semi-fitted and flaring below the hips. Make a mental picture of an evening creation I saw recently. First of all, it has a tunic made of gold and metal cloth, and to this back-ground of gold is affixed an appliqued design of softest kid, which, just by way of defeating the gold standard is stitched with silver thread. Then there is the molded line of the tunic, altogether keeping with our present mode. So, too, is the plaited skirt of chiffon which peeps from under the edge. The neckline is pointed in front to contrast with an oval decolletege in the back—another favorite trick of this gown. Famous Everywhere as a Remarkable PHYSCHIC PALMIST (Licensed by the District of Columbia) A PROPOSITION THAT IS HONEST To those who call on me for interviews, I do solemnly vow to make no charge, if I do not honestly fulfill every word contained in this statement. I will tell you everything you want to know about your enemies, rivals or friends. Whether sweet-heart, wife or husband is true or false. I will also tell you how to get love and affection of the one's you most desire. I will tell you how to control the actions of people even though they are miles away. I also promise to make no charge unless you find me far superior to any palmist you have consulted. There is practically nothing I cannot accomplish for you. During my experience I have never failed to requite the separated.

Dramatic Reader Available for Engagements Classes at— THE QUEEN STUDIO 746 Hobart Place Col. 9973 ```markdown ``` We are in the midst of the gold rush—to say nothing of the silver one. So far, I haven't seen any metalized calice, but that seems to be one of the few reserves of fashion. There is hardly a material that has not been inoculated with the treatment of gold or silver. Consequently, instead of being confronted with the same old silver and gold cloths of former years, we are presented with a wide choice. The ribbed silks, for example—also moire. Today we have an afternoon costume which makes use of a supply corded silver metal cloth for its skirt. The skirt is plaited in small box plaits all around its circumference, and topped by a long blouse made on severely straight lines. This latter is of pencil blue velvet trimmed about the border and on the narrow sleeves with a design of silver thread interspersed with sequins. The disposition of velvet and metal cloth is not nearly so familiar as the reversed formula. Usually we find in costumes of this type a velvet skirt consorting with a jumper or blouse of the metal cloth. One of the most stunning of such creations is sent to us by Groupy. This possesses a flared skirt of brown chiffon velvet topped by a jumper, is made on the most tailored of coat lines. It has two pockets, a double-breasted closing and mannish reveres. Against red, gold trimming is particularly stunning. For this reason that combination was chosen for a model and worn by Katherine Cornell of "The Green Hat" fame. Executed in cremella of pontif red, the model is From the Melting Pot If a woman's resources are limited and her pocketbook a trifle lean, she must use her intuition and initiative to prepare herself at reasonable cost costumes as stylish and becoming as possible upon her allowance. Dress modestly—any style that demands too much license, too much vacant space at the top or bottom of a gown should not be encouraged. Do not be too inquisitive; no matter how curious, do not try to pry into the affairs of your friends and acquaintances. You will be spoken of as a busy body and shunned by everyone if you do. "Familiarity breeds contempt." Never force your opinion and insist upon being heard when your superiors are talking. a man with plenty of experience—never once thinking, how far into the realms of vice or indency this experience has carried him. Until the women demand cleanliness in men before they agree to marry them this double standard of thinking and acting will prevail. Many a young girl becomes the wife of man who has lived a wild life, only to regret it, when her first babe is born feeble-minded or a cripple; when after a few years of married life she is confronted with a "niece or nephew" who has no one to care for it but its uncle. For years women have allowed this state of affairs to exist and now it seems it will exist always. Women, you are the ones to hold the men to their side of the contract. If the coming generation can produce women of stronger will power and ideals, the male sex likewise will be stronger morally. A woman can make or break a man and women by educating the younger females in chastity and cleanliness as generations roll on might be able to bring this idea of a single standard to be a reality. But unfortunately many a year must pass and much work done to accomplish this aim—yet it is never too late to start to do good. At present it must simply be looked upon as an unfortunate condition—but let us work and try to overcome it. VEE TEE TEE. Real French Beauty Shops have a Diploma bearing the signature of Mme. Mme.

"THE CALL OF THE BLOOD" In the discussion of the inter-marriage or inter-mating of the races, by Miss Burroughs in last week's Tribune, she referred to one phase of the subject which serves to call attention to the fact that the matter of the causes and the effects of the mixing of racial stocks, whether by marriage or otherwise, extends far beyond the domain of supposed desirability or undesirability and of present-day notions of right and wrong. Her observations concerning Nature's connection with the matter, if correct, places the whole question, if we call it such, squarely within the domain of science. Hence there is no more question of rightness and wrongness about it than about whether it is right or wrong that all of the mains and risks of parentage should fall to the lot of the female sex. Miss Burroughs says: Both science and history show that Nature allows inbreeding until there is danger of deterioration—mental, moral and spiritual; she then intervenes and saves the family or race by sending in currents of fresh blood. While this statement is perhaps not conceded in strictly scientific phraseology, it nevertheless expresses the essential features of a biological law, viz., that inbreeding causes deterioration. Hence there is in all nature a persistent urge—as Elbert Hubbard used to call it—toward cross-breeding or mixing. Were it not for this defensive biological instinct, this urge, deeply planted in all life—in mankind no less than in the rest of nature—no family, no tribe, no people, no living species, would long be able to withstand the inevitable deterioration which results from continued inbreeding. No biological fact is more firmly established than this and, truth to tell, none is more universally known and acted upon. For example: Every horticulturalist, every stock-raiser, every poultry-man and even every ordinary farmer knows, that, no matter how "excellent" any particular breed or stock—animal, vegetable or fruit—may be, the "purity" of it can be maintained for only a relatively short period. By "purity," in the sense here used, is meant the maintenance of the particular combination of qualities or "points" which gives the breed or stock or variety its superiority for the uses desired—climate and environment being considered. Within the writer's own lifetime, he has seen several once highly-prized varieties of fowl, fruit and vegetable "run-out." Numerous examples can be cited of races and peoples who, though they were in the advance in their day, yet, have perished; while other contemporaneous peoples, persuably inferior, have survived. For verification we need not go back many centuries nor leave the American continent. Witness the recent discoveries in Central America and Yucatan. We do not know in every case, all of the causes which were involved in the disappearance of these lost races; but in the case cited, the Mayan race, natural physical boundary restrictions and the limited territorial extent of their civilization, which tended to induce inbreeding, indicates that this was probably an important factor. The fundametal point is, that these races, despite their advanced civilization, "ran out." Almost certainly they were not suddenly overwhelmed by any terrestrial catastrophe nor were they carried away into captivity. Some law or laws of nature were violated—perhaps ignorantly perhaps defiantly—and they are gone. And in the case of the Mayan race on our continent, this disappearance is attested by history, and recent history at that; for, the deciphering of their inscriptions shows that they were in existence while the Vandals and other "barbarians" were over-running Western Europe and Italy and mingling their vigorous bloods with the bloods of the fast-decaying subjects of the Roman Empire. Ancient history and legend and the Biblical record furnish examples without number where instinct broke over prohibitions and inhibitions, social, civil and religious, and brought about crossings and mixings of endless variety. We find the Pharoah's daughter "adopting" the Hebrew habe into the royal Egyptian family; and we know that this very royal family, and the nation as well, carried liberal strains of the bloods of surrounding peoples including the Ethiopians. We find Moses taking to wife an Ethiopian woman. We see Sampson beguiled by a daughter of the hated and feared Philistines. We see the richly endowed Hamitic Queen of Sheba journeying through wilderness and over desert to "visit" the Semetic Solomon. Even the earthly forebears of Jesus of Nazareth were not of pure Hebrew lineage, but carried the blood of Ruth, "the Moabish damsel"—though Moab was a "mortal enemy" of Israel. Coming down to more modern times, we see Antony captivated by the probably dark-skinned Cleopatra, and so on down to the present—to what we see in darkest Mississippi no less than in enlightened New York. Yes, there is a "Call of the Blood," but the strongest call is of different bloods. How else can we account for the defiance of supposed moral tenets, the surrender of existing and potential personal advantages, the acceptance of all the known disadvantages that accompany the violation of social, civil, and religious codes—in the past and even now? Of this attraction—this defiance—there is evidence far older than history. The greatest hero of Grecian mythology, Perseus, braved the dragon to rescue Andromeda, the Ethiopian princess, who was chained to the rock. Of course he married her. But in that shadowy day, before any race had developed the hardihood to set itself above all else of God's human creation, her color excited no comment. Mythology deals with the incident exactly as later legendary history deals with the Trojan war, which was brought about by the "abducting" (elopement, more likely) of the golden haired Helen by (or with) a dark-skinned Phoenician. Social and civil inhibitions may be multiplied and strengthened; national and racial and religious antagonisms, and jealousies and arrogances may rail and rage, but all must yield to the biological law—mix and live: or inbreed and perish. And this law is no less inviolable for nations and races than for tribes and families. The effects in the latter cases, we can witness in the short span of a few generations. But Nature's laws are not made for a day or a century, or for any restricted environment. They run on and on, everywhere, forever; unchanged and unchangeable, so far as we know. But Nature does not compel obedience to her laws, nor does she ask that we "believe in" them, or ask whether we are "in favor of" them. As the old astrologers used to say: "The star-incline; they do not compel." We may violate any of Nature's laws that we choose—we do violate many, some ignorantly—but at the peril, nay the certainty, that we pay the penalty. This is true of every individual, of every nation, of every race. The white race and the black and the red, and the yellow and the brown, can continue to exist in America as separate, unmixed and unmixing entities, only by securing the interposition of the Omnipotent—to the extent of altering or suspending natural biological laws. Whether the white man's virtues or the shortcomings of the other races will bring that about, perhaps only the future will disclose. TRUE NOBILITY In last week's issue The Tribune animadvertent upon the propensity of certain beneficiaries of race generosity to regard themselves as no longer of us after they have achieved "recognition." Contrast the supercilious pretensions of those people with a statement recently made by Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, a teacher in the Dumbar High School of this city. The statement we shall quote is from an address delivered by her on the occasion of a public reception at which time she was the recipient of a diploma from the celebrated Sorbonne of Paris. Mrs. Cooper said: I have never made capital of my race, have paid my own way and have never asked a concession or claimed a gratuity. Nor on the other hand have I ever denied full identification in every handicap and every limitation that the checkered history of our native land imposes. Noble words—and a noble life which comports with them in every particular. Yet do not for one moment suppose that Mrs. Cooper's voluntary identification with the race "in every handicap and every limitation," means that she ever has or ever would voluntarily subject herself to racial segregation in order to enjoy any supposed pleasure or to secure any supposed advantageous recognition. WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA? The Urban League is conducting a conference in New York next week. The Race has been surveyed some more. We have before us a copy of the program which sets forth the topics and speakers in the two-day conference. On February 4, "Experiences of Negroes with Union Labor," will be discussed. Charles Johnson and Ira De. A Reid of the Urban League are the Negro speakers. So far as known neither has done anything resembling physical labor; nor do they know anything about Union Labor, except from hearsay, mostly hostile. A State Director of "Industry" will speak, and also one, Hugh Frayne, of the Federation of Labor, the body that denied that the government needed carpenter work at "Old Hickory" rather than permit Negro carpenters to work there, and the body that now has the door closed against a hundred thousand laborers. If the Urban League were in earnest, they would invite the officers of real union labor, such as exists among the coal miners, hod carriers, dock workers and stockyards employees, where there are thousands of Negro laborers; and of the dining car employees; and the Actors Union, self-supported and managed; and the needle workers of New York where a colored woman is secretary of a local: some of these would be invited to tell what they know of Unionism. The Negro vice president of the coal passers, a mixed organization, would be asked for some practical views. Why is President Lemus of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees not on the program? We fear it is not labor interest as much as more "philanthropy" that is sought. It seems that the subject is being begged instead of studied in a practical way. Francis Gurks, who is thought to have been O. E. Green, a ninety-four-year-old "newsboy," died, without known relatives, Christmas Eve in Portland, Oregon, elad in rags, with burlap wrapped about his feet. He left nearly $50,000 to the Federal Education Board. Question. To what better service could have dedicated his savings? Apropos of the protests against compulsory military training, we might say that preparation for war is not a preventive, but a powerful incentive to hostility. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1926 The senior class of Howard University, just to prove that the members go forth filled with Race consciousness, fully educated as to the interdependence of Negro business and Negro professions, and the fact that both are dependent upon the employment of Negro labor, has placed its order for their year book with a WHITE printing house in Baltimore. This, notwithstanding the fact that both Washington and Baltimore contain printing houses owned by Negroes and employing Negroes who have demonstrated in other years the capability to produce as fine finished product as may roll from the printing press. A course such as the Howard near-grads is pursuing is one calculated to make them endeared to their people, and to justify the claims that many of them are going to have in mind when they let out the "squawks" that are the normal features of those lean first-years of our professions—be they lawyers, journalists, doctors, or what they may be. My People, My People! There was a hearing on the Gasque bill in the chambers of the committee of the District of Columbia last Tuesday. It was interesting to observe the pressure brought to bear by the members of the present board of education to save their places. Few among them could afford to risk submitting their records to the vote of the public. Hence the anxiety to preserve the present method of an appointed board. The mills of the Gods don't always grind so slowly as the traditional adage states. Now and then it seems the mills have modern equipment and move with motor speed. It was just last week that these same arrogant folks haughtily dictated the pressure upon a poor teacher; and now they find themselves on the defensive. Wonder how they enjoyed it. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." The Newman case did not make the going any easier in the House of Representatives hearing. There is an attorney in Washington who is being prominently mentioned for the bench. He nearly secured the appointment under consideration. He deserved it, for he had endured the rigors of a personal investigation, a nerve-straining experience that must be endured to be appreciated. Even though one come through such an experience unscathed, there are moments during the operation when the mind is disturbed with recollections that make a fellow wonder if he has been sufficiently circumspect through all of his days. Happily the Negro contingent of the bar would not have suffered by the defection, for there are many barristers here. Some are working whole time, some part time, many at night time; and there are even more with plenty of time. Besides that, the particular judicial hopeful to whom we are referring is what is termed a "plus" lawyer by the "Supreme court of U Street," that court where Negro opinion in the District is interpreted in unmistakable terms. (Note "Plus lawyer," according to the Inter-Racial Dictionary, and the Cyclopedia Africana, means, a Negro lawyer who just goes along with some white lawyers into Court, and does not try to make his legal way alone.) It is an interesting sight to witness this "U Street Supreme Court" functioning in the pleasant evening time, or to see its members "sitting in chamber." But of course this latter is denied to the common herd, for the place of these meetings is safely guarded from intrusion by those who have not been summoned by the Chief Justice. Few there are who would suppose that it was to sit as chief justice of this court that one attorney declined a place on the municipal bench of the District. The one great commandment of the underworld is "Thou shalt not tell." Effort at investigation of the school system of Washington, D.C., discloses quite a similar determination when one phase of matters is mentioned. The more suggestion of the influence of friendships along certain lines bring protests from victors and vanquished; from rank and file; from headhunters and those about to be beheaded. "I know it is a fact, but don't mention it," is the burden of these protests. Wonder in how many other respects the workings of the school system and the underworld gangs are alike. Every institution must have its guiding ideal, written or unwritten. An organization that conducts its affairs in extra-legal fashion, by that very disregard of the accepted tenets of society, automatically creates its own ethics. The most common of these is "Don't tell." The Washington Herald has learned that the Democratic party lacks democracy. The discovery was announced in a four-column headline over an editorial in the issue of January 19. And, just as if they were doing team work, the Washington Post of the same date published the verification in a news story to the effect that, in Birmingham, Ala., where they have a Democratic primary, and where the Democrats control the machinery for the registration of voters, Negroes were arrested and maltreated for trying to exercise the democratic right to VOTE. The Tribune agrees with the Herald, this once anyhow. As old Joe Gethers used to say: "A lef-handed man, even if cross-eyed and near sighted could hit a runnin' rabbit onceinawhile, if you put shot enuf in his gun." All of us want to live a long time, but none of us want to be old. We love life and cling to it with a bulldog tenacity, but so often we neglect the care of it.

The orchestra numbers about forty performers on various instruments, with one little girl performer on the violin, and they played with a world of confidence and courage, exhibiting fine stage presence and manners. Their playing won the hearty plaudits of officials, teachers, visitors and student body present. A meritorious exhibition of drumming was given by three prize winning students, namely: Gilbert Mitchell, of Lincoln, James Green of Lovejoy and Melvin Spencer of Randall Junior High School, with Mr. Burleigh at the piano. The children went wild with applause over the drumming and little tots near front were swinging their little arms with joyous glee to the rhythmic impulse of the music. Magruder and Stevens Schools presented their Kindergarten Orchestra consisting of symbol, triangle, drum, tamborine, bells, with piano accompaniment. A tiny girl directed the former, a little boy the latter group and it really was a novelty to see those children in rhythmic play with a sense of tonal pitch and meter. It was marvelous indeed. Teachers Duncan, Sanders, Brooks and Johnson deserve much credit for it. Ere the program closed Mr. Burleigh made an interesting address on music, descriptive of the type of instruments used in general for orchels A Woman's Point of View I sat in a conference of, or for, industrial workers last week. It was called by the Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, under the direction of Mary Anderson. I sat, I looked, I listened, I heard, I thought, I reflected. It was a delegate representing the National Urban League, the Council of Women for Home Missions and the National Association of Colored Women. For some reason, as I sat there, I kept looking and longing for colored women who are members of the various labor organizations throughout the country to come in and take their seats. But they did not come. There was not one honest-to-goodness representative of colored women in industry in attendance. representatives, city commissioners, labor officials, industrial experts, women legislators, nurses, doctors, social workers, business women, employers, lawyers, authors and trade unionists. I will let some of them pass before you in review. Among the many noticed: Mrs. John Jacob Roger member of Congress from Massachusetts; Mrs. Jubus Kahn, member of Congress from California; Honorable Robe Carl White, Assistant Secretar of Labor; Mr. J. E. Edgerton, president, National Association of Manufacturers; Mr. Wm. Green, president American Federation of Labor; Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director, Department of Industrial Studies; Russe Sage Foundation, New York; Miss Grace Abbott, chief, Children's Bu There were only two colored delegates from the states. Mrs. Johnson of Mississippi, representing the State Federation, and Miss Halie Q. Brown, of Ohio, who said that she is an educator and did not represent industrial workers. Six or eight women of Washington attended the conference. Mrs. Sadie T. Henson and Miss M. M. Kimball, representing the National Association of Wage Earners, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton and Mrs. M. M. Marshall representing the National Association of Colored Women. Why did we not have at least one honest-to-goodness representative of colored women in industries? Why didn't we have at least one woman who is working in a shop or in a factory, or who is engaged in a scientific study of conditions and problems affecting women in industries—a woman who is, actually working with or for the women to improve conditions? There was not a single representative of that type there. White women experts and authorities from every field of industry were there. They knew their stuff. There were great personages on the program. We heard government tra, and Miss Marian Shadd, second assistant superintendent, in her brief remarks, encouraged the work as presented. Also Miss Marie C. James, the chairman of the music department, made a short talk commending the program, which was as follows: 1. Americanization; medley, ensemble. 2. Pleyel's Hymn, string choir. 3. Cornet solo, Ralph Giles, Binney School. (Note—this boy, Ralph, is talented and deserves special mention for excellent playing.) 4. Surprise Symphony, Andante (Haydn), ensemble. 5. "Song of Love," based on Schubert's Unmished Symphony. Lovejoy Group. 6. March, "Learning," ensemble. 7. Violin duet, Slater School. 8. Husband in Silence. 7B Chorus. Magruder and ensemble. 9. Violin solo, Minuet in G (Becchoven), William Jamerson, violin, with Curtis Mayo at the piano. 10. March, "Down the Field," ensemble. The director, Mr. Burleigh, deserves full credit for his work. SONOMA C. TALLEY OF NEW YORK The Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression will present in a joint recital Miss Songona C. Talley, noted pianist of New York City and Miss Josephine Muse, a teacher of piano and voice at the school on Tuesday, February 16th, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, for the joint benefit of the "Scholarship Fund" of the Conservatory and for a complimentary purse to Miss Muse for her tentative journey to France for further study in voice. Dr. Eva B. Dykes, noted pianist, will accompany Miss Muse. Miss Muse is a graduate of the Yale School of Music and studied at both Howard and Columbia and under Mrs. Blanche Boller, local teacher. Miss Talley is a graduate of Fisk, and of Institute of Musical Art, winning the $500 piano prize in her senior year. She is now enroute on a piano concert tour. Press comments are in highest praise of her superb pianistic ability. Considering the type of artists to appear in this benefit, the admission fee is reasonable and a large crowd is expected to hear them. COLORED STINGER ON BIG N. N.

Sherman, president, General Federation of Women's Clubs; Dr. Alice Hamilton, professor of Industrial Medicine, Dr. Hugh C. Summing, Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health Service; Mrs. Florence Kelly, National Consumers' League. These workers and experts discuss- ed the development and advancement of industry in the light of its social significance to the employer, the worker, and to society. They gave us a comprehensive study of problems and industrial relations from two aspects—theory and practice. They showed the philosophy of industrial relations. They told of the experiments of reducing hours without decreased production. They told us how the unions have worked out adjustments over the conference table. Social problems in industry were discussed and the right of the worker to citizenship, education, and recreation was ably presented. They discussed health problems from two aspects—the worker and the community. There was a symposium in which the discussion centered around the woman wage earner, and why society should be concerned about the condition under which she works and lives. The discussion ran the gamut and placed the responsibility upon every agency, from the employer through the National Government. You cannot attend one of these conferences without being convinced of two things. First: That the women are taking their obligation and opportunity seriously, and that they are a force that must be reckoned with. Secondly: That our salvation lies in effective and efficient organization. Yes, I thought. I thought of the millions of our colored women who know absolutely nothing about the great big movements and their tremendous value to us. Our women must be enlightened and enlisted. You say that there were a half dozen or more representative colored women there. The presence of that half dozen colored women means nothing unless they saw that the absence or indifference of the colored women who are in industries was a real challenge to them to get out and find them and bring them in to the next conference. It is possible to represent everything in words and to represent nothing officially and industrially in a conference like the one in which we sat. The colored women in the industries must get into these conferences and work as other women are working. I was so sorry that they did not have an official representative that I went to Miss Anderson, personally, and asked her to help us search the country over to see if we could find at least one colored woman who is working in the industrial field as covered by the conference. I asked her if she would give such a representative a place on the program. She said, "I will be glad to do it." It is up to us to help find the woman. We are not looking for someone to discuss the "race problem." This is not a race conference. We must find a woman with educational background, social understanding and definite first-hand knowledge of the problems confronting women in industries and unionized labor. She must speak as one having authority and not as a professional talker. Then, too, we must reach a number of colored women who are engaged in shops, factories, and mills and urge them to get their labor organizations to send them to these conferences. Before the next conference is called we must get word to the outstanding colored women who are engaged directly in welfare work for working women. These women should attend every one of these industrial conferences. Since the close of the conference I have been thinking about our women. How I do long to see them wake up to a realization of the fact that they can get a great deal more than they are getting in the industrial world when they know the value of organization and will ally themselves actively with the agencies that are laboring for the improvement of conditions among women. Secondly: We must create a desire for information and our women must be willing to go where they can get it. They must use the information unselfishly and effectively after they get it. Thirdly: I am convinced that the race is in dire need of industrial and welfare workers who have come up from the ranks. Mary Anderson is a tower of strength and an inspiration to women in the industrial world because she came up from the ranks. There are hundreds like her. They are going to revolutionize conditions for working women throughout the world. They have the sympathy, the soul, the experience, the technical training and magnetism. They have walked every step of the way and they are pointing other women the way out. Thank God, these industrial conferences are not race conferences. Let us leave the race problem as such, out of them, unless some phase of it touches or is involved in the subject under discussion. Some of us inject the race problem into everything from a dog fight to a prayer meeting. It is true that the Negro has shed much blood in defense of Amorion, but these industrial conferences are called to shed light on peace-time industrial problems. We hope that those who are working in the field will come and bring some light with them.

PAGE SIX Dunbar High School Intra-Mural Volley Ball In the first series of Intra-Mural games for girls by semester grouping, Semester "One" team won the volley ball championship by winning three series of games from opponents. Teams representing semesters, one, four, five, and seven. Other semesters had parts of teams but forfeited by not entering full term. Each team played two of three games. The Freshman team defeated the Senior Seven by the scores of 15 to five, 13 to 15 and 15 to 7. They defeated the Semester Five team by the score of 15 to 2 and 15 to 12, and the Sophomore team by the score of 15 to 14 and 15 to 13. The Senior Seven won from the Sophomore Fours and the Junior Fives; the Soph Fours won from the Junior Fives and the Junior Fives lost every game. Miner Normal Defeats Dunbar Miner Normal Defeats Dunbar Miner Normal School five came from behind to hand-Dunbar a 28 to -26 drubbing last Wednesday afternoon in the former's gym. Dunbar led at the end of the first half, 23 to 11, but the close guarding of the Normal School boys held the Dunbar quint to one goal from the floor and one foul during the second half. Scoring honors were divided between Brown, Miner Normal right forward, and Cawthorne, Dunbar right forward, each scoring a total of 10 points.

The Lithuanian American Club will be met in Baltimore if recent arrangements are successful. Wissahickan-Boys Club will be met in Germantown, Pa., on Wednesday, February 3rd, on Thursday, the Carlisle quint will meet the fast Philadelphia Flashes for the 2nd time this season. The Carlisle tossers won the first game, 32-22. Friday, February 5th, will find the local champs in the haunts of the Atlantic City Vandals, while Saturday, February 6th, may take them to one of these places. Negotiations have not been completed for the Saturday game but it is understood that they may be seen on Wilmington, New York or Bro. This would do a long way to ward off the present complica- tions that exists in deciding on the National Championship. The city of Philadelphia are the receivers. They were re- cently the Atlantic City Vanda and dals lost to the Philac hes and the Carlisle quint the Flashes on their own f. The one to meet the Pan- thers is over. The season is over. Champs return home they v on Morgan College on Februa th. Hampton, Va., Jan. 28.—The executive committee of the C. I. A. A. met at Peteburg Saturday, January 23, to work out a program for the coming year. Several, innovations were introduced which it is thought will aid in the development of athletics in the institutions. The most progressive step was the making out of the 1926 football schedule and the assigning of officials for all the games for the year. This will enable officials to know where they are to serve and prevent last-minute calls or attempts to decide upon them which oftentimes proved unsatisfactory. The association is adopting a new method of selecting the allstar teams for 1926. Instead of having the coaches submit their selections a committee of five consisting of two sport writers and three other men to serve as officials will be asked to pick the allstar team for 1926 thus relieving the coaches. The men asked to serve on this committee are: J. Willey Johnson, of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, chairman; Garland Mackey of the Afro American, Baltimore; L. U. Gibson, Baltimore, Dr. F. S. Coppage, Norfolk, and R. L. Clement of Living-stone College. The association accepted the offer of Dr. Jamse B. Darden of Petersburg, Va., to give a trophy to the most valuable player to his team in 1926. Another prize to be awarded will be the gold baseballs given by A. G. Pausingd Bros, to the C. I. A. A. team winning the 1926 baseball championship. The association sanctioned the fifth annual track and field meet to be held at Hampton Institute on May 15, 1926. The members of the C. I. A. A. executive committee are: President, T. I. Puryear, Va. Normal and Ind. Inst.; 1st Vice President, E. P. Hurt, Va. Seminary; 2nd Vice President. Dr. THE SPORT REVIEW Howard- Lincoln Football Contract Not Yet Signed A contract for the annual Howard Lincoln Thanksgiving Day game has not yet been signed. The delay is due to a controversy in regard to membership in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Lincoln desires to be a member, in which event under the rules, they could not play Howard. Coach Louis L. Watson of Howard believes that this difficulty will be straightened out soon and the contract signed. An opponent for the opening Howard game has not yet been agreed upon. The first date was held for Morgan College, but the Baltimoreans find it difficult to be ready to play so early in the season. As soon as Lincoln signs its contract and an opponent for the opening game is secured, the Howard University 1926 football schedule will be complete. Livingstone, Morehouse, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Fisk, Wilberforce and Atlanta are the clevens which will be played next fall. Morgan College Quint Again Defeats Howard For the second consecutive time this season, the Morgan College basketball team defeated the Howard University quintet when the Baltimoreans emerged on the long end of a 32 to 23 score in a game at the Lincoln Colonnade last Saturday afternoon. The game was one of those rough tumble affairs. Westmoreland was the sole official, and with the ten men practicing every art and trick of the game with swiftness and dexterity, his job was too much for one man. Simpson, Howard guard and one of the famed "Four Horsemen" from the Windy City, did everything he was big enough to do. He was the chief offender in roughness. The roughness, however, did not mar the game. Both teams were in fighting trim and fought desperately. Morgan set a pace which from the beginning was deadly, and Coach Burr realized within the first few minutes that the combination he had started could not keep up and he immediately substituted Spears for Washington, Simpson for Maroney and Johnson for Bundrant. "Lanky" Jones, Morgan center, began the scoring, and from the moment he shot his first field goal, the Baltimore aggregation went to the front never to be overtaken. A double foul was committed. Berry missed his shot, while Young made good. Jones then made another field goal from a difficult angle, and Coach Burr called it a day for three of his starters. The work of Spears, Simpson and Johnson soon told. In all his roughness; Simpson played a corking good game at guard. But Howard was never able to overtake Morgan. At the end of the half, Morgan led by a score of 18 to 13, Berry having missed enough foul goals to have tied the count. At the opening of the second half, Spears and Coats shot a field goal each, making the score 18 to 17. The Howard rooters urged their boys on, but Hill and Young followed with one field goal each, giving Morgan a 22 to 17 lead. Spears got another basket from the floor, and Berry missed two foul shots which would have tied the score. Coates shot a field goal, and Jones got as foul, making the count 23-21. Hill then shot two field goals. Lawton made a fine shot from the floor, which ended Howard's scoring. The Morgan College basketers added six more points, making the final score 32 to 23.

Following the big intersectional baseball meeting held in Philadelphia, the club owners in both circuits are making preparations for the coming season. Closer relations between the two leagues will be established and similar playing conditions will exist in the East and West. For several seasons the players of the Western Circuit have been signing uniform league contracts and this year the Eastern League has fallen in line. To further put "teeth" in the works the baseball solons have adopted a rule whereby any player jumping his berth on a league club in the East or West will incur a five-year suspension "om organized baseball.

Following the lead of the Eastern Board of Football Officials in muzzling its members to keep them from criticising the decisions of each other, the Eastern League at its recent session in Philadelphia adopted a similar rule providing that no manager, player, or person connected with the organization should publicly criticise the conduct of the league unless he were financially interested in a club. The Eastern League has been poorly managed. Ed. Bolden, Nat Strong, and one or two others have been a clique within the organization which ran its affairs to their financial enhancement. Holiday dates at the Hilldale ball-yard have been given to Nat Strong's aggregations in exchange for Sunday dates in New York. Men, who dared rail against this favoritism, have been driven from the league. This is the case of George Robinson, who took over the Washington Potomacs and transferred them to Wilmington, Del. He managed to keep his team together so long as he approved of Bolden's conduct but when he squawked against Bolden taking away from him a fourth of July date, which he sorely needed, his continuance in the league was impossible. Out of the West, however, came one who dared to hold Bolden's conduct to public view. He was Oscar Charleston, manager of the Harrisburg Giants and the greatest outfielder in colored baseball to-day. Besides, Charleston is a gentleman on and off the field. He had his training under the late C. I Taylor, who demanded that his baseball players conduct themselves properly. Charleston's disposition is to contend for what he believes rightfully to be due him. Consequently, when he felt that Bolden had used his official position to the detriment of the Harrisburg Giants, Charleston openly called attention to the high-handed method used in running the Eastern League. He cited instances of Bolden's arbitrary actions and prophesied that unless there was some correction of the abuses he pointed out, colored organized baseball would soon die. To Bolden's way of thinking, Charles sequently, at the meeting of the map to gag all persons who might make in The public interest in the national p have no right other than to pay the b magnates that possibly an improvement the Eastern League.

The public interest in the national pastime was not considered. The fans have no right other than to pay the bill. It never occurred to those mighty magnates that possibly an improvement could be made in the running of the Eastern League. An investigation into the charges made by Charleston was never seriously considered. The idea was to prevent any further criticism of their conduct, and they served notice that hereafter he who dares to criticise them does so at the peril of his banishment from the league. Organized baseball will not be killed from public criticism. Rather a suppression of criticism, coupled with high-handed methods, will ultimately bring about its death. Constructive criticism should be invited, for the men at the head of the Eastern league—unlike Rube Foster in the West—are not baseball men. Until a few years ago, Bolden was a postal clerk. The development of organized baseball among colored people does not interest Nat Strong, Jim Keenan and Charlie Spedden. What they want is the biggest return on their scanty investment.

What the Eastern League needs at its head is a Judge Landis—a person who is not financially interested in any of the clubs. Bolden is the manager of the Hilldale Club. He is also one of its stockholders. He is therefore disqualified to be the president of the Eastern League. He cannot sit in judgment on matters in which his club is a party impartially. Umpires are bound to favor him when they know that their jobs are at stake. His removal from the presidency and the selection of a person who is not interested in any of the teams to head the organization would be a big-step in the development of colored organized baseball. Carlislesto Inaugurate Sunday Basketball Sunday night, February 7th, will be the date on which the Carlisle Club will endeavor to get basketball fans interested in Sunday night basketball. Numerous inquiries were made before it was feasible. The general opinion of the sporting public is that Sunday night basketball will fill the bill. It will afford a large majority of persons a place to go and spend a wholesome evening enjoying a sport. It is not planned to have any dancing. The strong Philadelphia Flashes have engaged to open against the local Carlisle five. HAMPTON WINS FIFTH BASKET BALL CLASH Hampton, Va., Jan. 26—Hampton won its fifth victory by defeating Seminary 23-10 on their home court in Lynchburg. It was said by spectators that the game was the most execliting and the best played that had ever been seen in Lynchburg. The Seminary Dragons got the 6-1 until the middle of the first half when they were overtaken by the Seasiders, who held the lead throughout the remainder of the game. The two teams will play again on February 6 at Hampton. Grand Carnival Friday, February AT THE LINCOLN Benefit Tuesday Evening Diverti 9:00 P.M.

Taylor has had long experience in baseball. He comes from a family well known in baseball circles. He is a brother of the late C. I. Taylor, who made the Indianapolis A. B. Cs and was perhaps the brainset colored manager in the history of the game. In 1923, Ben Taylor managed the Washington Potomac, which the next year became the Wilmington Potomacs. From Wilmington he went to Harrisburg, where he and Oscar Charleston developed a fast team of youngsters.

S. Gresley who has agreed to head up the celebration in that state, he will send out a letter to this effect to all of the Negro teachers in that state. The Department of Negro Education of North Carolina has sent a similar letter to the Negro High Schools of that commonwealth and expresses a willingness to do anything else to bring the matter before the teachers of that jurisdiction. Mr. G. C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of the District schools of Washington has called together representatives of his sytsem and appointed a committee to work out a program which will be observed in every Negro school in the District. Colleges Interested Words from the heads of Negro colleges are most encouraging. Presi- dent J. B. Watson of Lehland College says, "I am in harmony with your idea of Negro History Week and we shall do whatever we can to make it a success." From President N. B. Young of Lincoln University comes the words, "I am pleased with your Negro History Week program and I am placing the same in the hands of our professor of history with the instruction that this program be carried out." President Lucy Hale Tapley of Spelman College writes, "We will very glad to bring the work of Negro History Week to the attention of our students." President John Hope of Morehouse College reports that he will give his assistance. President John W. Davis of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute replies that the celebration will be duly observed in that state. President F. D. Bluford of the Agricultural and Technical College says, "We shall arrange such a program. We shall see if we cannot encourage the people of our community and our state to pay more attention to this important week." President J. M. Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute writes, "I promise to give to the request all of the attention necessary to carry out your wishes as expressed." Pres. J. O. Spencer writes, "I shall plan to observe Negro History Week February 7th." Prof. Charles H. Wesley of Howard University says, "You may expect the usual cooperation which I have always given to the cause of Negro history." Churches Respond The churches, too, are manifesting the same sort of interest. Dr. H. T. Church of the A. M. E. Zion Church Entire Week Beg. Sunday, January 31st Washington, D.C., writes, "I shall e glad to cooperate with you." Bishop John Hurst of Florida expresses interest to the extent of bringing the short before every minister in his locese. Bishop R. A. Carter of the J. M. E. Church says, "I shall be glad to take up this matter with my ministers." Dr. W. R. Alexander of the Federal Council of the Churches of America writes, "I shall be glad to do anything I can in connection with such a step as is contemplated by Negro History Week, and shall cooperate not only through the second week of February, but throughout the year." Efficient cooperation is promised, too, from other agencies. Mr. Forrester B. Washington of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia writes, "We shall be glad to make the meetings of our fifteen neighborhood clubs during the second week of February Negro History Meetings. Mr. Gordon H. Simpson of the Urban League of St. Louis says, "It will be indeed a pelasure to give to this significant event every cooperation possible." Mr. J. Harvey Keros of the Milwaukee Urban League says, "Our organization has called together a committee of our leading citizens who have pledged support. Mr. Nimrod Allen of the Columbus Urban League writes, "At the November meeting of the Board of Directors of The Columbus Urban League, they voted to cooperate with you in the observance of Negro History Week. They will carry the celebration into the schools, luncheon clubs, and churches." The Pittsburgh Courier has urged that the attention of the nation be given to this effort. The Baltimore Afro-American endorses the plan and says it will give fifty bronze medals for the most interesting Frederick Douglas stories sent from any section of the country, stories not to be more than 200 words in length and the excellence to be judged by the Journal of Negro History editors. What the Press Agents Say REPUBLIC THEATER Sunday and Monday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1—Irene Rich in "The Man Without a Conscience" with Willard Louis, June Marlow and Irene Rich. A powerful story of a man who won love and success through selfishness and then lost them. Also "Adventures of Mazie." Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 2, 3—Else Ferguson in "The Unknown Lover." Miss Ferguson is supported by a strong cast, including Mildred Harris, Frank Mayo and Peggy Kelly. Every woman has an unknown lover—would you know yours if you met him? Thursday and Friday, Feb. 4, 5—Ralph Lewis in "The Last Edition." A vital, human, gripping melodrama woven around the fascination, the glamour, the speed and the adventure of a great newspaper office. Saturday, Feb. 6—one day only— George Walsh in "American Pluck" a first-run picture. On the stage at 7:20 and 9:20 will be presented the Black and White Syncopators, as assisted by talent. POLA NEGRI HAS, APPEALING ROLE IN "A WOMAN OF THE WORLD" AT LINCOLN WORLD AT LINCOLN. The dynamic presence of Pola Negri is once again in our local midst, this time in a picture at the Lincoln, entitled "A Woman of the World," From a strictly story standpoint this new vehicle is easily the best Pola has had to date, for aside from the modernness of its plot and American locale, it presents her in an appealing, sympathetic role that offers full scope for her emotional brand of acting and at the same time permits her to essay little light comedy now and then. Adventures pile up with startling rigidity—some intensely dramatic, others delightfully humorous—and reach a boiling point when Pola publicly horsewheels the local district attorney, with whom she is in love, for making an untrue accusation against her. "A Woman of the World" will be shown Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. GONZELLE WHITE, THE MUSICAL QUEEN, THE ACES & QUEENS' HOYWARD deep interest and a splurge of entertainment among the big circuits is Gonzell White the musical queen, and her jazz blowers in America, announced as the feature attraction in conjunction with the celebrated musical comedy "Aces and Queens" which opens a week's engagement at the Howard Theatre commencing Monday, February 1st. The company consists of sixty people, with a brilliant cast of principals, a large chorus of limber-kick bronze maidens, decked in raiments of beauty, enhanced by a cleverly written book. Many things are promised that will reward the cash customers in the way of a good performance for their evening out. "POLICE PATROE" COMING TO THE BROADWAY THEATRE Starting Sunday until Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present the favorite of all movie fans—James Kirkwood, assisted by Edna Murphy and Edmund Breese in an unusual police story of action, suspense and romance. Don't be fooled by the title of this particular picture but think of the stars and you will be agreeably surprised at the wonderful story and the kind of mystery action and love thrills that you will see that it was a clear case of love or duty because he was ordered to arrest the girl he loved, although she was innocent from the start. On Tuesday, Barbra LaMarr and Bert Lytell in "Sandra" is a wonderful love story set in splendor. BROADWAY 1515 7th Street, N.W. RUFUS G. Open Daily at 2:30 P.M. Sat.

Pennsylvania Woman Discovers a Remedy That Grows Hair Almost Over Night Says she is willing to give secret to anyone who wants long hair After a long spell of sickness, Mrs. P. O. Burton of 1337 Christian Street, South Philadelphia, Pa., found herself almost bald. Her hair had fallen out in handfolds and it was so short she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of, but, whatever. Finally, she gave up the thought of her hair, able to get anything to give results when she discovered that her hair had stopped falling out and was gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself) and after a few months her hair was long enough to fix up in any style. Mr. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought, but she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped, self-added envelope. Note: Mrs. B. Benton has nothing at all to sell. Out of all of her attitude she is passing the secret that gave her long, beautiful hair. It's free! Just send stamped envelope to Mrs. P. O.

Too often do we desecrate the highest and best through some form of secular activity. And so we are inclined to make sharp distinctions between that which is distinctively religious and that which is non-religious. Unfortunately we have been trained to think in two separate fields, viz., the religious and the secular. Instead of having co-operation we have conflict and antagonism on every hand. Is it not possible to wipe out this superficial line of demarcation, and "Do all to the Glory of God?" We would be delighted to have you share our discussion Sunday morning; Mrs. A. C. Brooks will sing. The Christian Endeavor Society will meet at 4:45 p. m. There will be a splendid song recital at 4:30 p. m. You are welcome. PROGRESSIVE BIBLE CLASS The Progressive Bible Class of Lincoln Congregational Temple will study as a lesson for Sunday the book of Joshua. This is the sixth of a series of book reviews by the class. The studies have been intensive and with the viewpoint of bringing new light to bear upon the Old Testament history and theology. The class meets every Sunday at 10 a.m., in the library of the church and is open to both men and women. Rev. Brooks is the teacher. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Next Sunday, evangelistic services will be continued at Second Baptist Church Third Street between H and I Streets, northwest. At 11, the pastor, Rev. J.L.S. Holloman, will preach on "The Undiscovered Joy in the Kingdom of God." At 3:30 p.m. a mass meeting of the union revival will be held in this church. Dr S. L. Johnson will preach and Prof. Boatner of Boston will lead the singing. At eight p.m. the pastor will preach, his subject will be "The Ark, A Prototype of Christ." THE UNION REVIVAL SERVICES During the week great crowds have attended the meetings of the union revival at the Third Baptist Church and Mount Carmel Church, Dr. S. L. Johnson, the evangelist, has done marvelous work in preaching and Prof. Boatner has ably led the singing. The meeting will continue at Mount Carmel Baptist Church until February 1. February 2 to 5, the closing week of the revival will be held in Second Baptist Church. The National Association of Wage Earners, Incorporated Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Pres.

WAGE EARNERS INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE The Industrial Conference that held sessions at the new Museum last week attracted several hundred representatives from forty-five states. There were women delegates representing nearly a hundred organizations. The principal speakers at each session were experts in their field. Many problems affecting women workers were threshed out over the conference table by women representing many fields of achievement. The development of policies for broader opportunity for and more profitable employment for women under modern conditions was the keynote of the Conference. A general survey of the working woman in the United States and her status in industry made by the Women's Bureau was illuminating. It was pointed out that of the eight and one-half millions of women working outside of their homes for wages and salaries that more women are employed as domestics than any other group of occupations. At a necho meeting of the Industrial Conference held at the Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, Sunday a.m., Mr. Morris Murray of the Murray Brothers Printing Company, the principal speaker, ably presented "Employer's view point." In speaking of the progress of the National Association of Wage Earners, Miss Burroughs told how higher HOWARD MEDICAL NEWS (By Kelly Miller, Jr. ANDREW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RIAL HOSPITAL Dr Eugene H Dubble, a graduate of the college of medicine, '19 is medical director of the John A.

SANITATION IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS. The following extracts will give an idea of what sanitary conditions were in Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. "In the case of the Puritan-Calvinist Dutch it was good form to wash one's hands frequently, one's feet very seldom, one's head never. The washing of his feet was so extraordinary an event in the life of Pepys, that he marked it down in his diary as having occurred on May 30, 1663. A great event in 1649 was the coming to Paris of a Russian Prince to have his teeth cleaned. "The Kings of France had no bathrooms or washstands, and seldom washed at all. In 1870 a student in the theological school at Leipzig, University was not allowed to pass his examinations for the doctor's degree because of his modernism, which consisted in washing his whole body. It was whispered that the miscreant actually-took baths. A Belgian authority, in the eighteenth century, advised that if bathing is too difficult an undertaking people ought to put on clean linen at least once every six weeks. It will be seen from the foregoing that we are in an advanced state of sanitary evolution today and that there is no reason for pessimism regarding the matter of public hygiene." standards are being accepted and adopted in some of the institutions where colored women are employed. This was an enthusiastic meeting. All left feeling encouraged to continue their well directed efforts in building up a strong organization that will help them to get the rights enjoyed by any other group of wage earners.

WASHINGTON D.C. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COLORED ACTORS UNION The formation of the circuit proposed by Charles P. Bailey seems to be an assured fact, if we may deduct anything from the fact that he has opened a booking office in room 703 Georgia Savings Bank Bldg, with Joe Spenelberger in charge. William Scales, owner of the Lafayette and in control of the Lincoln Theatre, Winston Salem, who for many years has been the secretary of the T. O. B. A., sent his proxy to S. H. Dudley and with it his resignation from office. Taken into consideration, with the projected National circuit being promoted by Watkins and McCants Andrews of North Carolina, in which connection Scales' name is being used; and the Bailey movement in Atlanta, there is some "Big doin'" in sight. Bert Chadwick has finished his tour of the Pantages Circuit and immediately upon showing up in Chicago, is reported to have closed a juicy two-year contract with the Orpheum Jr. time. The Pantages group of Negro acts have just about finished the time. The Byrons completed the tour two weeks ago; Jackson and Taylor last week and Harry Bolden finishes this week. The Joe Sheffell Revue is doing two weeks in Omaha at the World Theatre. This is because Kansas City no longer plays colored acts in the Pantage house there. The big act will be in Chicago within three weeks. L. J. Bolt is organizing a colored minstrel to be presented under canvas. The call comes out of Sanford, Fla. A mixed cast is proposed with a fifteen piece band. The John Larkin show will be placed in rehearsal in March and is slated to open at Plainfield, N. J., early in April. H. D. Collins will personally manage the production which is to be called, "Oh, Mammy." Evelyn Preer has been cast opposite Lenora Ulrich in the new dramatic production by David Belasco called "Lulu Belle." The piece opened in Philadelphia on January 25, and will be sent to Broadway early in February. Mattie-Wilkes, "Mother" Williams, Edward Thompson, Edna Thompson, Zadie Jackson, J. W. Jackson, Ollie Powers, Minnie Brown, Lillian Creamer, Service Bell and Fannie Bell, DeKnight are in the cast. The Al. Dow agency has added a theatre at Riverpoint, Long Island, to his list. The Dow office places a number of colored acts. The South Broad in Franklin and the Capitol in Williamtic, Conn., are recent additions in the Dow office. Perry and Covan were one of the highly praised acts on the bill at the Loew State Theatre, New York, last week. S. H. Dudley and J. A. Jackson left Washington on Monday for Chattanooga, Tenn., where they will be in attendance at the T. O. B. A. Circuit stockholders meeting. Mr. Dudley is a vice-president of the corporation; and Jackson goes as the representative of the Colored Actors Union. Greenlee and Drayton with "The Chocolate Kiddies" are touring Europe under the direction of Dr. Leonidow. January 14 to February 12, the outfit is at the Olympia Theatre, Barcelona, Spain. Bessie Smith and her unit broke records at the Royal Theatre, Baltimore, last week. Every house record was shattered. Paul Harris, former violinist at the Regent Theatre is now orchestra director at the Royal Theatre, Baltimore. Brown and DeMont are playing dates in and around Boston after having toured the Keith-Albee houses in Canada. Babe Townsend who has been with the Andrew Bishop Company for the past three years is in New York with a dramatic sketch called "Monkey Man." The act was given a week at the Lincoln Theatre for Mid-February. Eddie Connors and his Sambo Revue has every promise of a bright future. The act did a week split between the Star in New York and the Park Brooklyn, this week. CLUB ALABAM SHOW INTACT FOR LONDON (From the Billboard) New York, Jan. 18—The Club Alabama Fantasies, the show at the Club Alabama, has been booked infact for the Kit Kat Club, London, and will open there in March. It was booked through William Morris. The show includes Johnny Hudgins, Abby Mitchell, Jean Starr, Ruth Walker and the 18 Gertrude Harlem Girls. It opened at the 44th street night club early last fall and has been making a big hit there. Alex Gerber wrote the book for the show, Dave Dreyer the music. The former produced it and Francis Weldon, his stage director, staged it. When the Fantasies leaves another show, also to be produced by Gerber, will be placed in the club, opening it is expected, about March 15. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Lincoln Theatre Has Presentation Act Big Sunday Opening General Manager Morgan stood in conspicuously inside the Lincoln Theatre and watched four big Sunday audiences set the seal of approval on the first innovation that Walter Pinchback has introduced into the house policy. At least twenty-five per cent, if not perhaps, fifty per cent more patrons than is normal for an opening Sunday responded to the draw of the Julian Arthur band act, and the augmented advertising with which it was submitted to the public Those people were not disappointed, either in the quality of the film offering or in the offering of the act. The former was, of course, expected; but the latter was open to question by the skeptical Washingtonians. The speed and "peep" with which the dozen people who comprise the act, put over their stuff was somewhat of a revelation. They fully justified a review of the act as presented in these pages by a New York reviewer a few weeks since. The act is substantially the same one with which "Jimmie" Cooper made a fortune and established a new principle in burlesque with his "Black and White Revue." Many of the original people are in the act, and the routine is quite similar even to Jimmie's speech, now delivered by Jenny Dancy as a bit of "selling talk." Julian Arthur, violinist and leader, is not with the act, being incapacitated by illness. There are an even dozen people: Mantan Moreland, Octavia Sumler, a graceful-legged coubrette who can use those same legs with grace and speedy precision; Jennie Dancer, whose singing has featured many of our shows, Sam Frost and Johnny Dancy, dancers of the first order, supplemented the syncopation of a seven-piece male band with a woman pianist. The jazz drummer was a hound with his traps and the whole thing was blended into a fast moving vehicle. It was twenty minutes of amusement of the first order. If the percentage of increase in patronage that prevailed on Sunday, continues through the week, there is every reason to presume that the Stanley-Crandall interest will avail themselves of the close relation between that organization and the Keith Albee offices to provide a mixed policy program for the Lincoln Theatre. This is especially likely since the Keith houses in Washington do not play Negro acts; and since the equipment of the Lincoln adapts it to the proper care of any and every sort of act and to a large number of people back stage with dressing room facilities that will accommodate any assortment of show people no matter "finicky" they may be as to personal tastes and perogatives. The experiment is pregnant of great possibilities. The Split in Ethel Waters Act Explained in"Variety" Variety, the theatrical trade journal, submits to the public the following explanation of the sudden changes in "Plantation Review," the act with which Ethel Waters played two engagements in Washington recently. It may be said, that Miss Waters and Earl Dancer hold a three-year contract with the Keith offices, and that she very evidently organized a new company, while Sam Salvin and Arthur Lyons have determined to continue with the original group. ETHEL WATERS' PEOPLE "Plantation Reve" Star Did Not Considerable excitement among the colored show folks of New York last week when Ethel Waters, star of "Plantation Revue," now a tabloid feature in the colored houses, under the joint management of Sam Salvin and Arthur Lyons, quit the show after a dissension with the latter. Miss Waters, who immediately arranged for some vaudeville bookings, expected the whole troupe would stick with her, i. e., the band and the chorus girls. Before Miss Waters could open last week at the Coliseum (first half) she engaged practically all new people, only four of the former Plantation Revue girls remaining with her, Boyd Sisters (Alberta and Anita), Alberta Baker and Tillie Meadows. Miss Waters engaged Marcio Marquez as soubret; "Cornbread" Walker and Dick Wheaton replaced Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper, and in place of the Will Vodery orchestral unit which stuck with the Salvin-Lyons revue, the Elmer Snowden band was engaged. Earl Dancer, who formerly "doubled" with Miss Waters, is again with her in vaudeyville. The new girls with Miss Waters are Hazel Mills, Dot Rhodes, Dora White and Margaret Beckett. The Plantation Revue, with some new faces, will continue T. G. B. A. circuit dates. The Waters-Plantation revue rift is said to have resulted on the squawks made by Miss Waters on the bookings of the revue, the unit being cut four weeks and only working two. The Washington Tribune News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements The Comedy Club, The Dream of Two Young Men Accomplished in a Brief Time All youngsters have healthy imaginations. Most Negroes have keen observative abilities, and most of them have the initiative faculty well developed. However, it rarely comes to notice that any two pals among the group have all of these characteristics in a similar measure. When it does occur, something very tangible usually grows out of their reactivities. The Comedy Club of New York is just such a result. It is the outcome of just such a set of circumstances. The story of its being goes back to the days when James Moore, the club president was in the employ of Pauline, the mystic, whose act has long been a vaudeville feature in the better theatres of the country. This employment provided young Moore with frequent opportunity to perceive the many social features of life of the white artists who were to a great extent beyond the reach of their colored prototypes. He and Morris McKinney were friends. McKinley too had been with famed white actors such as Wm. Faversham and Maude Odell with both of whom he had travelled as a part servant, and part professional in minor parts. McKinley was the type that does not remain long in servile capacities. He soon became one of those local dramatic lights so often featured in dramatic productions at community churches, schools, etc. From that he graduated into Negro drama on a commercial basis for a brief period in "Pa William's Gal." During a lull in things theatrical during the summer of 1924, these two boys disclosed one to the other ideas of a social organization for Negro performers that would be more ambitious in scope than anything before attempted—a club that would provide all the features that prevailed in the white clubs they had seen. Youth has courage and loves adventure. So having bolstered one another's ambitions, they plunged into their plans. With $750, their all, they assumed possession of a basement, 84 by 140 feet located in a building that is part of the Lafayette theatre group. So impoverished were they with having paid a month's rent and deposited security for two more that they were able to furnish but a scant corner of what appeared to be a vast emptiness. But with that they started. The profession and its friends adopted the new club with alacrity; and since then one at a time they have finished and furnished nine rooms that occupy the entire floor space available. They had hoped to do this with in a few years, but by turning back every cent of profits above actual living expenses the club facilities were actually accomplished in less than nine months. In that same period the membership had grown to over a thousand. The club contains a reception room that is 16 by 45 feet with heavy battleship linoleum on its floor, hand painted mural decorations on its walls, and with heavily upholstered furniture for the comfort of visitors. Adjoining this is the executive offices. Just off from it is a card room, the natural adjunct to every social club. The general assembly room with its billiard tables adjoins this; and beyond that is a rehearsal room large enough to rehearse any ordinary chorus-group. In fact several of the largest shows have been launched there since its brief career commended. Many Facilities An assembly room for club meetings, or for rent for the occasional meetings of other bodies is in frequent use. There is also a conference room located so as to command privacy. This room is large enough for a committee of a dozen persons. These facilities are supplemented with the usual club bar service of mild beverages, a check room, and what's even more potent—a caterer familiar with the night eating proclivities and the tastes of the actor. Adequate telephone service, letter writing facilities, and a baseball club of its members are other developments. A marked disposition toward charities to which services that yield money for worthy purposes has been disclosed among the folks who have their ranks. The boys are practical, hence they recognized the need of one familiar with club practices and with the history of the Negro profession. Sam Tolson, a performer of years since; and who has been employed by many clubs in New York and elsewhere was installed as manager; and to his "mixing" ability and suave diplomacy are owed much of the good favor with which the club is graced. Many Professions Represented In that large membership are the names of men, not of the show world, but interested in its people, names high in public esteem, and prominent in many professions. There are no less than eight physicians, three ministers, a number of newspaper men and a member of the state legislature, as well as minor city and state employees on its membership rolls, which FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1926 N'S THEATRE Exs, Fairs, The Deacons Club Another Object Lesson For The Colored Actors' Union The Colored Actors Union may find several lessnos in the following extract from a news story in last Sunday's New York Times. It is quite similar to like stories appearing in all of the metropolitan papers of the same date. Annual Actors' Fund Benefit February 2nd The Annual Actor's Fund benefit performance is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, February 2, and it will be held, as last year, at Jolson's Theatre. The fund benefit show is the aristocrat of all benefit performances. It draws all the most interesting people to it on both sides of the footlights. As it is the actors' own particular charity, the play bill always presents a line-up of stars that no amount of money or managerial acumen could gather together for any occasion other than an Actors' Fund benefit. The readiness of the actor to volunteer for this annual performance is proverbial, and therefore the problem of arranging the program is one of selection. The Actors' Fund benefit performance can fairly be regarded as representing the quality of the American stage. Daniel Frohman, under whose direction the benefit is being staged, has further arranged with Walter Hartwig, as stage director, a program that enbraces practically every star of prominence in New York at the present time. Note the loyalty with which the white actors work for their cause; note also, that with all of the advantages they have, they realize the need of having their organization directed by one fully familiar with the intricacies of business. The Standard Figure "The American Venus," a film production is being exploited in the top money houses augmented by the personal appearance of Fay Lamphier, winner of the Atlantic City beauty contest. She is presented as the ideal beauty. A study of the lady's dimensions may be heldful to tabloid producers and stage directors who want a standard by which they may, be guided in seeking perfection. The perfect American woman, according to the publicity exploiting this firm should be five feet six inches in height, and weigh 128 pounds; her neck should be 13 1-2 inches, the arm 10 inches, bust 34 inches, waist 26 1-2 inches, hips 30 1-2 inches, thigh 20 inches, calf `13 1-2` and ankle 8 inches. No provision as to size of feet is mentioned. There are plenty of girls approximating these figures or within a ten per cent variation of the standard who have excellent voices, and are graceful dancers. Let's try to have more attractive shows: the secretary holds open to public inspection at all times. A list of its active professional members reads like a blue book of the stage. Names with drawing power at box offices are numerous. Will Vodey, famed musical director; Harry Brooks, musical organization executive; Tim Brynn, musical conductor; Johnny Dunn, record cornettist; Clarence "Dancing" Dotson, "Bo-jangles" Bill Robinson, "Hamtree" Harrington, Aubrey Lyles of "Shuffle Along" fame; Johnny Hudgins, reigning Broadway star; Leonard Harper a producing genius; Abbie Mitchell, internationally known songster. There are Wesley Jenkins whose face adorns many feature films; Johnnie Nit, one of the few to have refused a Ziegfeld offer; Paul Lloyd; Alf Watts, stage director and character artists; Garland Howard one of the quartette who own "Seven-Eleven" the burlesque success, and the theatrical editors of the Race of consequence in New York and elsewhere are all in, and of the club. So are the craftsmen and contractors who installed the equipment of the place, every one of them Race people which is more than may be said of many other institutions in Harlem. The club is chartered, is managed by a board of directors everyone of whom are in the show world; and is today the most frequented rendezvous of amusement people of color in the world. It grew without outside assistance from the keen perception of two boys with less capital than would be today required to meet the weekly pay roll of the employees. No wonder those boys have their families domiciled in the most expensive parkside apartments on St. Nicholas Avenue; and no wonder June, despite its great heat, seems a beautiful month to them. --- "Loyalty's Gift" Success in Scranton, Pa. Scranton, Pa., Jan. 20.—"Loyalty's Gife," a play by Mrs. Dora, Cole Norman of New York, and presented under the direction of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, was given here at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, white, before a mixed audience that packed the house. It was the first time anything of the kind has been presented in this city, and the first time colored people have had the use of the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. The newspapers were profuse in their praise of Mrs. Norman's achievements. Mrs. Norman will begin rehearsals in Middletown, Ohio, February 1, for the production. MILLS IN CONCERT Florence Mills, Plantation Room star, and formed musical revue artist, was presented at Aeolian Hall, New York, last Sunday evening, as one of the three artists who, were presented in a concert program, Alfreda Casella, pianist; and Mme. Respigni, singer, both white, were her associates. Miss Mills sang four song numbers programmed as "Levee Land" with a small orchestra support.

This is one of the fastest dancing companies that has hit this town in many months. And the chorus can really sing. Every member of the show shakes a wicked hoof. The show carries twelve performers and three musicians. All members of the show have speaking parts and much to their credit every one seems to know what it is all about. Special mention should be made of John Gertrude, the owner of the show, whose clean comedy made a big hit with the patrons here also. "Dust Ball" Lewis, straight man, Annad May Childs, leading lady, Molly Davis, soubrette, and the red-hot dancing trio, Stevens, Jackson and Tarpley, who stopped the show nightly. Fred Reed, Mattie Reed, Carlton Tarpley, Katherine Tarpley, Billy English and Jannie Anderson are all dancing demons. The Dixie Flyers' Orchestra, composed of Gussie Garr, pianist, Wallace Carr, drummer, and James Ring, trombonist, assisted by the Dunbar Orchestra, rendered some notes that "jus' wouldn't behave." We predict a great future for this company on the T. O. B. A. Circuit. The Sammy A Film Star and his Udeville Unit Entertaining colored acts Sherite—Sidney Easton Trio— Banks and others.

Adams, Teaching --- Charleston Features At Howard Theatre A varied program of excellence was offered at the Howard this week, with Babe Jackson and the Maxie-Wade combination doing the headline stuff. The troupe of 35 actors offered a mixed program of dances and songs, which held a delighted audience spellbound. Maxie and Wade are a pair of versatile dancers of the classic-acrobatic type, and there is no doubt that they scored a big hit. Billy Cumbe and "Doc" Strange a couple new to these parts were given a hearty reception. Thoir chatter was new, up to date, and full of witticisms dear to the hearts of vaudeville patrons. The above pair with another duo also strange to these parts, being Jimmie Morael who acted in place of Billy Andrews and Berry Carter who fills the shoes left vacant by Lyno Monagas are good in a murder scene and coroner's ingest. The girls quartett comprised of Misses Georgia Harvey, Musa Williams, Mae Bonds, and the dear little Baby Jackson drew rounds and rounds of applause after rendering several song numbers shortly after the intermission. "Baby" Jackson in her scanty but sensational makeup was good to look at. It wasn't hard to observe that she was trying to give the audience the "Freedom of the sees." More-over all the girls had a varied assortment of costumes which enhanced the beauty of the scenes. The first ten local participants in the $50 Charleston contest took the stage just before the final curtain, and gave exhibitions of everything from Charleston to "buck dancing, which was finally won by Nettie Tillman. She will appear again Sunday night in the final competitions for the three cash prizes. The show expects to leave for a three weeks booking in Baltimore and vicinity soon. —E. T.
