FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION GARV GARVEY MUST SERVE LONGER BEFORE PARDON Marcus Garvey, self-styled "provisional president of Africa," must serve at least one-third of his term of five years in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., before he will be granted executive clemency. His application was denied as premature by President Coolidge. In his petition for executive clemency, Garvey had requested permission to remain in the United States for 90 days after his release to transact "important business." This request had been denied by Assistant Secretary of Labor Husband, who declared that Garvey could not remain for any period unless exceedingly "important business" should be proved. A warrant for his deportation had been issued and he would have been immediately deported to the British West Indies, if his sentence had been commuted. Officials of the Department of Justice said that the President's denial of Garvey's application for executive clemency was based upon the belief that Garvey had not served a sufficient portion of his sentence to justify his release. Ordinarily, the service of one-third of the term is required before the President will grant commutation. Garvey was convicted in the United States court for the southern district of New York on a charge of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of worthless stock in the Black Star Line, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Delaware and having for its purpose the acquisition and operation of steamships which were intended to transport persons and material to Africa to build an empire. He was sentenced victory was appealed, and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the second circuit affirmed the judgment of the trial court. Garvey began the serving of his sentence on February 8, 1925. He will be eligible for parole on October 7, 1926. The language of the denial of his application indicates that if he will renew his plea for executive clemency after he has served one-third of his term, he may be released for deportation. Reports that the British Government had protested against returning Garvey to the West Indies could not be confirmed. Authority for his deportation is found in his conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude within five years after his arrival in this country. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL HEARINGS ANNOUNCED Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, who introduced an antilynching bill in the Senate at the beginning of this session of the Congress, announced Saturday that Judge Moorfield Storey, president, and James Weldon Johnson, secretary, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, had indicated to him that they would appear before the sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary committee and urge a favorable report on his measure. He also stated that Mrs. J. H. Austin, president of the Woman's Club of Newark, N.J., had advised him that she would appear before the subcommittee. Hearings on the bill will be held by a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee at 10 o'clock, Tuesday morning, February 16. This subcommittee is composed of Senator Albert B. Cummins, chairman of the Judiciary Committee; Senator William E. Borah, and Senator William H. King. Senator McKinley, who is sponsoring the measure and arranged for the hearings, has charge of the allotment of time, and persons desiring to appear should communicate with him. ADVERTISE IN THE TRIBUNE The Washington Tribune VIRGINIANS UPSET AS FULL MEANING OF NEW BILL IS UNDERSTOOD PUBLISHED WEEKLY VEY VIRGINIANS UP MEANING OF IS UND Whites to Lose if Present Bill is Passed Richmond, Va., February 9.—Consternation reigns among some of the oldest and proudest families in the State as a result of the introduction and demand for the enactment of a stricter racial-intergrity bill. The law as it is proposed makes just two classes—white and colored. Into the colored is placed the Indian, the Negro, the Malay and all others not pure white. It happens that there are several thousands of the most distinguished people in Virginia who boast of the fact that they are descendants of the great Indian chief Powhatan. That fact however, does not prevent them from being removed from the white race and being aligned with the colored. That is not all. There are perhaps 10 or more members of the legislature who would have to take seats among the colored were the bill to become a law. They could not ride in the same passenger cars with the white people, coming within the provisions of the Jim Crow street car law. One man who has a penchant for studying such matters declares that there are not less than 20,000 persons who would become colored under the terms of the new law. Many organizations here which take pride in historical matters are earnestly striving to have the bill kept in the committee. The chances are that as it stands at this time the bill will not become a law. Then Consider This The American Indian is one of the enigmas of scientific research. How he originated or where he came from still lies shrouded in obscurity. At a recent meeting of the Society of American Bacteriologists, a member reported that after personal study of hundreds of Indians she could find no trace of blood grouping with any European or Asiatic races. NEW LIFE INS. CO OPENS HERE NEW LIFE INS. CO OPENS HERE T. A. Dickerson, vice-president and director of agencies of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N.J., has been in Washington for the past ten days engaged in establishing the company in business here. License to operate was granted to the company by District of Columbia officials last December, and since then Mr. Dickerson has been quietly assembly an agency force to function here, J. C. Pollard, formerly of Philadelphia has been selected as chief of the local organization. Offices have been opened at 903 U Street, Street, Northwest. The company, which is the latest in the field, is the creature of Harry H. Pace, its president whose departure from Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta some years since, left a void in the executive personnel of that concern that was deeply felt. Already plans have been completed for the company to do business in a half dozen states. Its board of directors lists some of the outstanding business men of the Race. ACQUIRES NEW APARTMENT HOUSE Victor R. Daily, local real estate broker, with offices in the Prudential Bank Building, announces that his office has just come into control of the four-family apartment house at 1721 Oregon Avenue, Northwest. The property is now occupied by white tenants, but will be renovated and used for colored occupancy. The apartments are modern in every detail, and add much to the growing list of up-to-date apartment buildings now coming into possession of our people here in Washington. DENIED The Virginia State Legislature has passed through its lower house a bill that makes it mandatory upon the manager of any public assembly place, theatre, picture house, auditorium, etc., to provide separate seating arrangements for colored people. The bill passed the house by a vote of 64 to 2. The Bill, which has yet to pass the State Senate and receive the signature of the governor, is the result of the persistent agitation of a Tidewater district editor of the "cracker" type who became incensed when he visited the presentation of the Denjishawn Players at Hampton Institute and found Negroes and whites seated in discriminately as has been the custom since the establishment of Hampton in the auditorium of the school that sponsored the entertainment. This was last spring. Since then this journalist(?) has appealed to the baser instincts of the old type of "cracker," and the great good the school has been doing toward better race relations in the Old Dominion is threatened with destruction. Whites will likely suffer culturally more than the Negroes, for the presentations of concert artists at the school afforded about the only source of entertainment to the intelligent of both groups that could be obtained in the Tidewater District. While considerably agitated at the development, the officials of Hampton who have a large endowment fund at their command, decline to make public comment upon the matter. However, it is known from dependable sources that the measure is not meeting with approval from these people. It has been rumored that antagonistic action of any sort might prompt the removal of the school to a more congenial environment. Inducements have often been resisted when quite flattering invitations to move the Institute have been extended from communities that fully appreciated the economic and community cultural value of such a school. Hampton Institute is the largest single business unit in the state. The supplying of the needs of nearly 2,000 people who comprise the faculty, employees and student body, and the maintenance of the machinery of the organization represents an outlay of funds that the more conservative element of the State may hesitate to forfeit. Even though the physical plant remains, it is altogether likely that a tremendous volume of official purchases will go to wholesale dealers out of the state; and that Montgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck will find a substantial increase from the business of the personnel. It is likewise probable that school entertainments at Hampton and similar institutions will be placed upon an invitational basis, if this bill prevails; and the Negroes will have attractors to which the public will be denied. Virginia may cheat itself of education and amusement; but the traditionfs will be preserved to retard civilization. Howard Graduate Passes District Bar Only one graduate of the Howard University law school passed the December bar examination. He is Ernest Claybon Johnson. About six Howard graduates took the examination. The list of successful candidates was made public Tuesday. Mr. Johnson graduated from the law school in June, 1925. He has since been connected with the law firm of Houston and Houston, of 615 F Street, Northwest. He is also a graduate of the college department of Howard University. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1926 55 YEARS IN SERVICE, PULLMAN PORTER DIES Chicago, Feb. 5 (AP)--James B. Newsome, seventy-six, the oldest Pullman porter in the country, is dead after fifty-five and one-half years of service. He traveled more than 6,000,000 miles on Pullman cars since September 10, 1870, and no complaint ever was made against him by a passenger. His largest tip was given him by Buffalo Bill—$100. Newsome was to have been retired on March 1 next. Ordinarily the Pullman Company retires its porters at the age of 70, but because of many requests of patrons a special order from the president of the company retained Newsome after that age. SOUTHERN AID STOCKHOLDERS HOLD MEETING SOUTHERN AID STOCKHOLDERS HOLD MEETING Richmond, Va.—The annual stockholders' meeting of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Incorporated, was held at the home office, 527 North Second Street, in this city, on Monday, January 25, 1926. This was the first stockholders' meeting since the stockholders had authorized, in September, an increase of capital stock of the corporation from $20,000 to $100,000. The shareholders' list now includes many of the races most representative business and professional leaders in the Middle Atlantic States. With an augmented attendance and the eagerness to hear and read the record of the corporation's great achievement during the past, a gross business of over one million dollars—although operating at present, only in its home state, Virginia, and the District of Columbia—the meeting presented a picture or setting that will linger long in the minds of those who were fortunate enough to be holders of the very valuable stock of the race's oldest industrial insurance corporation. The president and general counsel, Attorney Jas, T. Carter, presided. His report was a comprehensive and informing affair. Then followed the detailed financial record by that prince of business leaders and builders, Mr. B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager, when it was shown that the corporation had had a gross income of $1,113,781.28, and had a cash balance on deposit in strong banks and trust companies, both colored and white, of $289,424.81, and that assets had reached a total of $871,345.46, the stockholders released their pent up enthusiasm. The assistant secretary-manager, Mr. W. A. Jordan, presented a record of the work of the several divisions of the business. In addition to these reports, the stockholders were given itemized printed statements of the corporation's business for the past year, and thus they were fully informed of every detail of the institution. After approval of the reports and action of the board and officers, the president appointed the following committee of stockholders to bring in a list of nominees to be voted upon for president and board of directors: the committee: Rev. M. C. Ruffin, chairman; Mrs. P. W. Willis, Messrs. A. G. Bates, L. T. Johnson and R. A. Preston, secretary. This committee presented the following names: Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Dr. M. B. Jones, Messrs. Percy Wilson, Jas. O. West, Robt. L. Tate, Jas. T. Carter, B. L. Jordan, W. A. Jordain, Edw. Stewart, A. Washington, W. E. Randolph, Chas. N. Jackson, B. A. Cephas, A. D. Price, Jr. and W. E. Baker. The stockholders unanimously and enthusiastically approved of these persons to guide the affairs of the corporation as it begins its 34th year and with ambitious plans for expansion. Then followed expressions from many of the out-of-town stockholders: but it was left for Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, to electrify the assembled group by her magnetic speech of appreciation of her election to the governing body of such a great institution. She was overjoyed at the opportunity to show the world that Negro leaders can cooperate and work together in the various enterprises. While the meeting was in this exalted state of appreciation and enthusiasm, the president announced that all would follow him to the banquet table, prepared by Slaughter the caterer, and that Mr. B. A. Cephas would serve as toastmaster. Mr. Cephas performed his task with grace and to the satisfaction of everyone. The fine repast was a fitting climax to a memorable occasion or event in the business life of Richmond. ANOTHER SUIT FILED TO FORCE OUSTER OF TWO TEACHERS AT ARMSTRONG HIGH STUDENTS TO GIVE LOVING CUP TO CAPT. NEWMAN STUDENTS TO GIVE LOVING CUP TO CAPT. NEWMAN Capt. Arthur C. Newman, former principal of the Armstrong High school, will be presented with the students' trophy, given by the student body, at a special meeting in the Lincoln Theatre, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The idea of presenting a trophy to Capt. Newman was conceived by Robert T. Murray, a freshman, who will present the cup. Principal speakers will be Manning Johnson, Major West Hamilton and Armond Scott. Rufus P-Turner will act as presiding officer. LOCAL MINISTER PRAISES PRESS In a five-minute preliminary address, one of a series that have been announced as a feature of the Sunday morning services, Rev. H. B. Taylor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, delivered a remarkably careful analysis of the relations and service of the Negro Press to the Race and community together with a splendid admonition to his congregation to support what he terms "These advocates of education, indeed educators themselves." "The question is not what the Negro press had done for us, but rather what would we have been able to do for ourselves without this, our only institution that has the power to herald the records of our progress in our praiseworthy endeavors." "... Downright honesty, he continued, bids us give the Negro Press the credit that is justly due it." In brief he detailed these credits as cooperation with the church, the expenency of decency and morality, the advocacy of business; the preachment of thrift and industry; the investigation and exposure of those who scheme against the Race; its assistance in the preservation of health; the denouncement of the barriers of discrimination and the encouragement due to our people in times of deepest hopelessness. "Our Race can boast of no more loyal, unselfish, and self-sacrificing group than is its press," said he as he mentioned the specific characteristics of each of the local papers. Next Sunday he speaks on "What the press should expect from the people." DISMISSED MEN RESTORED WITH ALL BACK PAY DISMISSED MEN RESTORED WITH ALL BACK PAY H. P. Ramsay, a chef cook in the service of the Southern Railway who had been dismissed and was at his home in Montgomery, Ala.; and Herbert Mills, of Ashville, N.C., who had previously been restored to service was allotted back pay for all lost time, less what they may have earned elsewhere while off the company rolls at a conference between officials of the Southern Railway and the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees held Tuesday, February 9 in the offices of Dining Car Manager W. F. Kusch of the Southern P. R. Mr. Kusch and Superintendent J. D. Crow of the Southern lines west, participated in the conference for the company while the employees were represented by Rienzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood, local President A. L. Queenan and J. P. Covington, committee chairman. Several minor matters were also adjusted during the session. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. DON IT FILED TO FORCE TWO TEACHERS STRONG HIGH Mrs. Mary E. Craft Cottrell, of 1850 Third Street, Northwest, has filed a petition in the circuit division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for a writ of mandamus to compel the Board of Education, Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson to declare two positions vacant in the Armstrong Technical High School and to appoint her to one of the vacancies. This is the second suit involving these two positions that has been filed against the Board of Education. The other was brought by Miss Mabel M. Jackson of 1834 Ninth Street, Northwest. The positions, which Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell seek to have declared vacant are being filled by Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster Street, Northwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh Street, Northwest. They teach domestic art. Miss Jennings teaches tailoring, and Miss Burrell teaches dressmaking. Mrs. Craft has been a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia. She is seeking restatement and claims that she is entitled to preference over other eligibles for appointment a teacher of domestic art. She is on maternity leave. In her petition for the writ of mandamus, Mrs. Cottrell charges that neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell is qualified to hold the position of teacher of domestic art in the superior high schools. The rules of the Board of Education, Mrs. Cottrell says, that no person without a degree from an accredited college or a graduation certificate from an accredited normal school and five years' experience as a high school teacher shall be appointed to teach any academic or scientific subject in the normal high or manual training schools. An act of Congress of June 26, 1912, Mrs. Cottrell declares, provides that all teachers of manual training, drawing, domestic art, domestic science, music and physical culture in the normal, high and manual training schools must have the same qualifications as teachers of academic and scientific subjects. According to Mrs. Cottrell, neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell is a graduate from an accredited college or an accredited normal school and neither has ever passed a competitive examination for teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Cottrell claims that Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson has been requested to remove Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell and declare their positions vacant, so that properly qualified persons, whose names appear on the list of eligibles, may be appointed. Neither Mr. Wilkinson nor the Board of Education, she says, has taken any action, on the contrary, both the assistant superintendent and the board have maintained that Miss Jennings and Miss s Burrell legally hold their positions, and Mr. Wilkinson has refused to remove them and reinstate her. Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell took the examination for teachers of domestic art in the senior high school in December, 1923, and were notified in February, 1924, that they had passed the examination and were one and two, respectively, on the eligible list. The Board of Education admits that neither Miss Jennings nor Miss Burrell possesses a college degree or a graduation certificate from an accredited normal school and that neither has passed a competitive examination for the position of teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools. The subjects of tailoring and dress-making, however, are trade and vocational subjects, the board contends, and while Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell are engaged in teaching these subjects in the Armstrong Technical High School, they are not high school teachers and are not classified as such. par- the were presi- Presi- loving- several dur- Mrs. Cottrell asks the court to compel the Board of Education, Superintendent Ballou and Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson to declare these two positions vacant in the Armstrong Technical High School and to appoint her as a teacher of domestic art in one of these vacancies as of September 1, 1925. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS DURKEE MAY RESIGN AT END OF SCHOOL YEAR J. Stanley Durkee will likely tender his resignation as president of Howard University to be effective at the close of the present school year to become pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N.Y. The congregation and officers of the Plymouth Congregational Church at a meeting last Monday night voted to call Dr. Durkee to the pastorate of the church. He stated Tuesday that he had made no decision, but that he is giving the offer very careful consideration. "The offer to fill the Plymouth pulpit," Dr. Durkee said, "is very flattering and wonderful. I will give the matter very full and careful consideration." In the event that he should accept, Dr. Durkee declared that he would make arrangements to continue as president of Howard University for the remainder of this school year. If Dr. Durkee accepts the pastorate of the Plymouth Congregational Church, it will bring to an end a fight which has been waged against him since February, 1919. Dr. Durkee was chosen president of Howard University upon the resignation of Dr. Stephen M. Newman on July 1, 1918. After the February, 1919, meeting of the Board of Trustees, the fight against him began. It grew out of his recommendation to the Board of Trustees for the removal of Prof. George William Cook, who was then the secretary of Howard University, and Prof. Edward Lamay Parks, who was then treasurer. Prof. Cook became the dean of the school of commerce and Prof. Parks, the dean of men. The ill feeling caused by these changes was aggrivated by Dr. Durkee's combining of the Teachers College and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences into one college and the splitting of this one college into a junior and senior college. The older Professors like Dean Kelly Miller, George Morton Lightfoot and G. David Houston took the position that the division of the college into junior and senior colleges was a subtle attempt to divert Negro youth from a pursuit of a complete college education at the end of the two-year junior college work into the professional schools. The fight against Dr. Durkee from time to time has different phases. It reached its height about a year ago when it became known that he had accepted the presidency of the Curry School of Expression of Boston, Mass, which excludes Negroes from attendance. On December 10, 1925, at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, charges against Dr. Durkee were inquired into: After an all-day hearing, the Board of Trustees decided that charges were not sustained. The trustees, however, voted to give a full year's salary to Professors Alaine Le- (Continued on page A) Local Teachers Instructed in Negro History This Week Local Teachers Instructed in Negro History This Week Negro History Week, originated by Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and history was the subject of a special meeting of the school teachers of the Public School System of the District of Columbia at Dunbar High School Auditorium on Tuesday afternoon, February 3, Assistant Superintendent Garret C. Wilkinson presided. Alson Burleigh who discussed "Negro Music," Prof. Neval Thomas whose subject was "Our Present Day Obligation," and Dr. Charles H. Wesley who spoke on "The Negro in America," with Carter G. Woodson, whose lecture on "The Negro in Africa" laid the foundation for race pride and tradition, were the speakers. Miss Estelle Finkney, Miss Mary Europe, Joseph A. Walker and James B. Lomack contributed musical features to the very excellent program. Mr. Wilkinson closed the program with the announcement that a bibliography of Negro history is available at every school building, and urged that teachers interest themselves in distributing to their pupils the knowledge of their Race and its achievements that will tend to combat the inferiority sense with which others would have us enthralled through the lack of such knowledge. FOR WOMEN CARE FOR A PAGE FOR WOMEN FOR WOMEN WHO CARE FOR THE HOME FOR THE UNDERWEIGHT GAINING WEIGHT There is vast difference between being "slender" and being "thin". The former state is desirable, the latter is not—because every one wants the mark of health. Well rounded corners, clear skin and shining eyes are indicative of a well regulated body. Underweight is not as serious in an adult as in a growing child, but the ideal condition is to be neither too fat nor too thin. If you are underweight: 1. Get weighed and find out how many pounds you should gain. 2. Consider whether you have any symptoms which indicate disease. In so, consult a physician. 3. Change your personal habits, if necessary, so as to a. get 8 or 9 hours sleep every night b. relax as much as possible. e. spend an hour or more each day in the fresh air d. exercise regularly e. eat plenty of good food. Food for the Underweight Person Cereals are the most economical source of fuel: The breakfast cereals eaten with cream, and bread spread with butter, are doubly valuable. Fats such as cream, butter, oil, bacon and cheese should be used freely. Milk may be added to each meal or eaten between meals. Regulating Foods are essential. All-Bran will keep the intestines in good condition. Fruits and vegetables stimulate the appetite as well as supply minerals, vitamins and roughage. Whole grain cereals and dark breads are also regulators. Breakfast—baked apple with cream; Kellogg's Krumbles with cream; Scrambled eggs and bacon; All-Bran Muffins; Cocoa. 10:00 a.m.—Milk and Graham Cracker Luncheon—Cream of Vegetable Soup; Peanut Butter Sandwiches; Cookies; Milk.

BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribune Feature I have arrived at a point of desperation in my career as a fashion writer. I am just about to call in outside aid. In fact I am going to offer a prize to any one who tells me something new to say about the jumper. As the French say, I am no more. I have fairly jumped myself out of both ideas and vocabulary. However, since custom has led the world to expect words to go with fashion display, let me hasten to say that at all of the gay social affairs from the luncheon to the onera, you will find the jumper. A two piece model of flowered georgette that I saw recently has much more novelty of touch than I can possibly supply. I believe, as a matter of fact, that this type of jumper was originated by Cherruit. Whether that is the case or not, its source is Paris and a model much like this one has been widely sponsored and worn by one of the leading French actresses. In this celebrated model, however, the materials of skirt and jumper are contrasted, the latter being of plaid and the skirt of solid color. Indeed, if you take to this jumper there is good authority for your making it of plaid taffeta and combining it with a skirt of plain taffeta or crepe. Don't forget, in fact, that taffeta is traveling South and bids fair to be a spring favorite. In this case, the particular jumper that I am writing about, is of flowered georgette in tones of gray and rose, and receives touches of plain gray georgette—also gray buttons.

Add the shrimp and allow to cook about one-half hour before serving. (Very delicious). FOR SCOURING KITCHEN UTENSILS Keep a supply of worn cotton cloth or sewing scraps, cut into small squares on the shelf above the kitchen sink to use when scouring kitchen utensils or hardware. These are thrown away as soon as used and the dish cloth is kept clean and white. Chartreuse of Spinach Charterhouse of Spinach Scald one-half a peck of spinach in boiling water, drain it, chop it, then mince one small onion. While the spinach is still hot add one-fourth cupful of butter or a substitute, the onion and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in one cupful of coarse bread crumbs and one pound of chopped ham, then beat two eggs well and add them. Place all in a deep mold and cover with four white potatoes pared and sliced very thin. Steam the dish for an hour and a half. You can substitute any other green vegetable for spinach and any other salt meat for ham. A grapefruit and lettuce salad and a dessert of pears are appetizing accompaniments. Bacon fritters make a savory side dish for luncheon. Cut quite fine six slices of cold fried bacon and mix with one tablespoonful of grated onion. Cut the crust from half a loaf of stale bread, soak for a few minutes in cold water, squeeze dry and crumble quite fine, mixing it with the fine crumbled inner portion. Season highly with salt, pepper and a pinch of powdered thyme, add four tablespoonfuls of melted suet or dripping and mold into small flat cakes, flouring them well. Fry in a pan in a little hot dripping. Lemon Pie With Tom Wash one large lemon clean and grate it. Remove every particle of seed, as the least bit will make the pie bitter. This will make three pies. Line three pie plates with dough, divide the lemon and place one part of it in each pan, spread it over the dough, and pour water over the lemon to about half fill the pan. Sprinkle over this either flour or cornstarch, using about one teaspoon to each pie, and sugar to sweeten. This forms a jelly when baked in the pie. Some cooks add a pinch of butter. Make a thin crust, puncture the top, and pinch the edges together. This filling is liable to boil and the juices will escape at the edges unless the two pieces of dough are securely held together. Instead of being a strong bitter lemon pie, it is one filled with a delicious jelly when cold. Stuffed Nut Peppers. Remove the tops from six green peppers and take out the cores and seeds. Place in cold salted water. Bring quickly to the boiling point. Remove and drain. Mix together two cupfuls of soft bread crumbs, one cupful of chopped nut meats, and one half a cupful of well seasoned tomatoes. Season to taste. Moisten well with brown or white sauce. Stuff the peppers, sprinkle with buttered crumbs, and bake about 30 minutes in a moderate oven, boasting occasionally with hot water containing a little butter. Green is being exploited by all the fashionable houses. From the palest of seafoam tints to the darkest and most sombre of tones, we see the green business going on at a rate which nature herself might envy. Among the latest of the green company to arrive is that dark shade known as eucalyptus. This was noted several times at a recent performance at the Metropolitan. Today, we are showing for the first time, a delightful afternoon frock in pistache green crepe which is otherwise notable for its presentation of the bolero. The bolero, introduced with emphasis in the autumn, has been held over for our mid-season delight and it operates today in the most charming of guises. Sometimes it is indicated only in the front; sometimes only in the back; frequently it forms an alliance with the popular shoulder cape so that it is difficult to tell whether the result be more cape than bolero or vice versa. The treatment in this model is exceedingly effective—for in this case the back of the jacket is cut in one with a sash. At sides and front the two are divided and, while the jacket in front is cut upward into one of those popular V's, the girdle is drawn downward into a bow. Another point of interest in this model is the fine tucking that surrounds the skirt. This is the sort of little frock which is independent of climate. Bacon Fritters NAN VALENTINE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1926 Edited by VIVIAN T. TURNER Answers to Queries By Vee Tee Tee Dear Vee Tee Tee: I am a single girl about 22 years of age. I have a good job which pays me from $1800 to $2200 per year. Some of my friends making the same money save little spending most of theirs in fine clothes and running from city to city. They call it being popular and call me old fashioned because I don't believe in living that way. What do you think about it? Thrifty: I think you have the right idea. Some people, in fact the majority of people do not have that much money to provide for large families yet manage to save some. For a single girl to make that now and spend it thoughtlessly—I think is very foolish. She is simply living today with no thought of tomorrow. While life is in its infancy, make all of it you can. Fit yourself morally, physically and spiritually for that which is to come. Enjoy yourself, but not to the extent that it interferes with your daily or monthly saving. Invest your money in some real estate or business, when then that day comes when perhaps physical disability keeps you from earning a dollar, you will feel independent and won't have to rely upon your friends for support or help. A desire to be popular causes many a girl discomfort one way or the other in after life. Be sensible still, Thrifty, and when "hard times" knocks at the door you will have the laugh on those girls who seem to have the laugh on you now. Dear Vee Tee Tee: I am a young man and have been married only a short time, I love my wife and have tried to put up with many inconveniences since marriage. She does not work, yet on my return from work each day, I find her out, the house untidy or if she is in, my dinner is very seldom ready. She claims little knowledge of cooking or housework, being an only child she has never been taught to do these things. What am I to do? JOSEPH My dear Joseph: I sympathize with you in your predicament and wish to tell you that your case is just one of the many. Perhaps it is true that your wife being an only child has been petted and indulged to the extent that it has made her sloven and careless. This fault of course is due to her home training. You should have known this at the outset. Find out what a woman can do or will do before you marry her and become dissatisfied and make your life and hers miserable. However, shiftlessness in a wife should not be encouraged or rather allowed. She could at least keep her house clean and try to have meals on time, since she made a contract to that effect when she entered into the married state. Don't be disagreeable, be firm, yet in a sweet and appealing way.

Cover it with boiling water, add half a teaspoonful of salt, a small white onion stuck with two cloves and a dozen peppercorns and simmer slowly until very tender. Transfer to a dripping pan, cover the top with very thin slices of larding pork and brown in a quick oven. This will take nearly an hour. Make a gravy with the pot liquor, using browned flour to give it color. Seed Cake One-half cup margarine, two tablespoons baking-powder, two teaspoons caraway seeds, one-quarter cup milk, one-half cup chopped citron, one and one-half cups flour, three eggs, one-third teaspoon salt, three-quarters cup sugar. Add the well beaten eggs, then sugar. Cream the margarine with the milk, caraway seeds and citron. Add the flour, salt and baking powder, which have been sifted together. Beat well and turn into a small cake pan which has been well oiled. Bake in a moderate oven about 40 minutes. From the Melting Pot It seems much more difficult to remain good than to become good.

BE BEAUTIFUL BE BEAUTIFUL This space might have been devoted to your ad, then others would be reading it just as you are now reading this. Let us run your copy in our next week's issue. By Mme W. R. Dudley Washington, D.C. Question—Your article on hair dyeing interested me greatly. I am writing you hoping that you will help me solve the hair dyeing problem. Will you kindly tell me what to do when hair is obstinate and does not take dye? I have a customer whose hair is prematurely grey. I dyed her hair a few days ago, but it did not take very well. Thanking you in advance for any suggestions you may be kind enough to offer. Mrs. E. S., Alexandria, Va. Answer—Before attempting to dye any head of hair, there are a number of points to be considered. First—The texture of the hair. If the hair is very course, dry and wiry, it is sometimes almost impossible to dye unless it has been softened by the application of Mme. Dudley's Vegetable Hair Grower for several days in succession until the hair feels smooth Second—Selecting the shade. All dyes have a tendency to make the hair darker, hence in choosing a shade this should be remembered. Brown and black are comparatively easy shades to match and to keep. While reds, drabs, and blondes are difficult. Having considered all of these items, the next step is to procure the dye. Be sure that you use only a pure dye that will not injure the scalp and hair. Of course, before opening the bottles, the hair must be shampooed free from all blanishment of oil or dirt. Dry the hair thoroughly and comb free from all tangles. Go over the hair with a small brush moistened with peroxide, before the dye is used. This puts the hair in a receptive condition. The dye is then applied. When the entire head has been treated it must be combed again very thoroughly, then fanned for a time and allowed to dry. Remember not to use the electric dryer for this process. In half an hour, shampoo again using Mme. Dudley's Vegetable Shampoo. This leaves the hair soft, smooth and lustrous. FRIVQLITY "Frivolity," a magazine whose title page declares it to be a publication devoted to "What's going on in amusements," has made its appearance.

For this reason it is always well to KNOW what you are using. Question—Why are finger nails corrugated, poorly formed or covered with white spots—Mrs. H. S. Answer—Nails that are corrugated or ridged are found after severe and wasting illness, in many tubercular conditions and very often when people are extremely nervous. Poorly formed nails, that constantly break off, also shows an imperfect physical condition. White spots in nails are due to injury done to the matrix of the nail during the process of growth. Perfect nails should be rosy—pink in color, daintily shaped into an oval, and should possess a natural polish. Various occupations, neglect and other causes, interfere so frequently with a naturally good appearance, that it became necessary to devise a method of keeping the nails in presentable condition always. This process is called manicuring. Question—Will you please recommend a treatment for ringworm? Answer—Paint the part every other day with a camel's hair brush dipped in decolored tincture of iodine until cured. Question—Please advise me as to whether I should use vanishing cream or cold cream to cleanse my face and neck before retiring. Ruth. Answer—Wash your face and neck with warm water and a pure soap that agrees with your skin. Dry the face and neck thoroughly and apply a generous amount of PEROXIDE cold cream gently massaging it into the skin with an outward and upward movement. Let the cream remain on a few minutes, then wipe it off with a soft towel. Be sure to follow the above advice each night if you wish to keep your skin in good condition. The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM For the Family tonight 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 handfuls and it was so short she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of, but she hadn't cared at all. Finally, she gave up the thought of what she wanted, and a thing 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. She used a few ingredients to be bought at any drug store, and she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a self-addressed envelope. Note: Mrs. Burton has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she is passing the secret that gave her long, beautiful hair. She is now wearing a self-addressed envelope. Mrs. P. O.

I think that the quotation which I have submitted is the best that Lincoln ever made. We all know that he said and wrote quite a number of quotations, but he failed in the carrying out of many of them. This quotation is best because the power behind it conquered thousands of our race's enemies. It is best because it was the power behind Lincoln's life-work, a work that has proven beneficial to the race as well as to the Union. Because he thought that way, he caused a people to pass from a weak condition of fear and timidity to a position of power and self-independence and to take a place of prominence among the nations of the world. WM. J. LOVETT. ABRAHAM LINCOLN Abraham Lincoln made a trip to New Orleans in 1831. There he saw "Negroes in chains, whipped, and scourged," and a slave auction, which implanted in his mind an "unconquerable hate" towards the institution of slavery. Seeing this event, he exclaimed, "If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard." (Referring to slavery.) I think that the above quotation is the best thing that the great emancipator ever wrote or said. I believe that this quotation reveals Abraham Lincoln's goal in life. Many of his later utterings were great thoughts, but the majority of those that related to slavery were based on this quotation. In 1854, Lincoln said, "Slavery is founded on both injustice and bad policy." This quotation is only another one relating to the thought expressed twenty-three years before. Lincoln once always a bitter of slavery. His quotation, "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help save the Union," is not as great to my mind because the quotation, "If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard," made him form his opinion of slavery, and the latter quotation was only an antecedent of the issuing of his Emancipation Proclamation. I think that the quotation I selected is the greatest thing that Lincoln ever wrote or said, because it shows his love for humanity. Such authorities as Morses', "Abraham Lincoln", "Charles W. Morses', "Abraham Lincoln", and the "Peoples Cyclopedia" quote Lincoln as saying in 1831, "If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard." THELMA E. LANE(15) CONTEST FOR BIRD The Lion's Club will conduct a bird house contest, open to any boy in the District, closing March 3. The best bird houses, made by hand, and suitable for use in the perks here will be given 10 prizes of a medal and cash, and 25 cash prizes. The first prize is $10 and a medal. Boys who can use nails, the saw, square and hammer should become interested in this contest. Watch for further particulars on this page. I have read many beautiful and inspiring quotations from Lincoln but there is one which I feel is unsurpassed and which has made me feel the real worth of Lincoln. The quotation runs, "all that I am or hope to be I owe to my mother." How well has the immortal Lincoln woven into a few words this beautiful thought! Lincoln, like many of us, received his inspiration in his eagerness to learn from his mother. Is it not our mother who is usually responsible for the success, if any, which we in later life attain? Is it not our mother who makes our ambitions real and who tenderly watches over us when we are ill? Is it not our mother who sympathizes and consoles us when we meet misfortune, but who praises and smiles appreciatively when we attain great fame? When she is gone her place stands vacant for no one is great or good enough to take her place, and through the years life seems dull and useless without her by our side. FREDERICK DOUGLASS ENCOURAGES YOUNG Today is the time observed and celebrated as the birthdate of Frederick Douglass, statesman, orator and abolitionist. No more fitting tribute could be paid to this great man than to present to the world a bit of the wholeheartedness that he so often let flow out to the young Negro boy or girl, man or woman, who sought his appreciation or inspiration. Such letters to the aspiring Negro are typical of the great Douglass. To James D. Correthers, clergyman, author and poet he sent this letter which acted as an incentive to the young minister and poet. Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D.C. February 14, 1894 My dear sir, Corrissette. I thank you very sincerely for your letter and the valuable clippings containing specimens of your work. I am more than glad to observe the progress of yourself and such young men as Paul Dunbar in literature and especially in poetry. If we are to receive consideration as a people in this country it will arise out of the fact that we can point to such aspiring young men as yourself. I can never despair of the future of our people while I can point to such noble and virtuous young men as yourself. I remember with pleasure the reception given me in Quinn Chapel and the noble part you bore in that demonstration. In fact I think you were the prime mover in getting it up. I have too many correspondents to find time to other than write briefly so you must be content with this brief reply to your good letter. Yes, my dear sir, go out, launch out and gather strength from the greatness of the work before you. I am sure you will improve by work and will be sustained in your work. Heaven help you is my prayer for you and the dear partner you have just taken to your heart and home. Corrothers was born at Calvin, Michigan, July 2, 1869. About 1883, encouraged by Henry D. Lloyd, the author, he entered Northwestern University. He was ordained minister in 1894. In 1902 he published a book of humorous stories under the title of "The Black Cat Club;" in 1907 a book of poems, "Selected Poems." His last THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1926 (First Prize Quotation Essay) he read many beautiful and inspiring from Lincoln but there is one we insurpassed and which has made me worth of Lincoln. The quotation is I am or hope to be I owe to my mother has the immortal Lincoln woven ends this beautiful thought! In, like many of us, received his in this eagerness to learn from his mother who is usually responsive, if any, which we in later life not our mother who makes our amd who tenderly watches over us when Is it not our mother who sympoles us when we meet misfortunes and smiles appreciatively when great fame? In she is gone her place stands vacant is great or good enough to take her through the years life seems dull and at her by our side. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

PERTINENT DATA OF HISTORY CAL FACTS RELATIVE TO OUR RACE Did you know that— This week, February 7-13, is the first time in history that a national movement has been attempted which makes the study of the history of the race the principal feature? The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, with headquarters in this city initiated the idea? On February 7, 1865, the Confederate Senate (Va.) defeated the measure for raising an army of 200,000 Negroes? On February 8, 1910, the National Negro Business League was organized?

P PAGE TWELVE A SURVEY OF THE NEGRO AND THE LABOR UNIONS MORE THAN 65,000 NEGROES IN 48 DIFFERENT UNIONS DISCOURAGED IN MOST UNIONS ADMITTED MORE FREELY IN UNSKILLED BODIES (EDITOR'S NOTE: The status of the Negro in Labor Unions is very fully set forth in the following article by Esther Lowell of the Federated Press. The facts recited are from an exhaustive investigation of the subject by Charles S. Johnson of the Urban League. The article is commended to all who would know the exact situation of our industrial group.) Negroes Study Their Status in Unions New York—Probably 100,000 Negro workers are in trade unions, estimates Charles S. Johnson, National Urban League research director, reporting on his survey to date at the National Urban League conference. He finds 65,492 Negro members in about half the locals of 48 A. F. of L. national and international unions, in all local unions of Chicago, New York City, Detroit and Washington, D.C., in New Jersey, Delaware, Minnesota, Idaho, Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, in the United Mine Workers in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and in the three large independent Negro unions; Railway Men's Independent Benevolent Association, Dining Car Men's Association, and Brotherhood of 'Sleeping Car Porters. New York City has 14,5,00 Negro unionists; Chicago, 13,000 and Detroit 2000. Negroes Excluded from these Unions Eleven A. F. of L. unions exclude Negro workers, Johnson reports; boilermakers, switchmen, railway telegraphers, railway carmen, railway mail association, railway clerks, commercial telegraphers, machinists, wire weavers, glint glass workers, and masters, mates and pilots. Blacksmiths permit Negro Helpers auxiliaries but prevent promotion and do not admit Negro helpers in shops where white are now employed. No Constitutional Bar, but Discouraging just the same Unions without constitutional bars to Negroes but discouraging their membership are, Johnson states; electrical workers, although there are 1343 Negro electricians; sheet metal workers; plasterers, with less than 100 from 6000 Negro plasterers; plumbers and steam fitters, although 3500 Negroes are in this trade. Chicago Negro plumbers have tried for six years to enter the union. Flint glass workers object to Negro members on the grounds that the glass-blowing pipe is passed from mouth to mouth and no one would use it after a Negro, Journeymen tailors have less than 100 Negro members, claiming few Negro tailors are sufficiently skilled. Unions admitting but not encouraging Negro members are listed by Johnson: carpenters, 592 of 34,217 Negro carpenters in the union; painters 279 to 10,600 Negroes organized. Negro workers in these skilled crafts complain that when they join unions white workers are continually given preference in job assignments. Segregation in Some Unions Johnson lists unions admitting Negroes freely but in separate locals only; musicians with 3000 Negroes; and restless workers with 1000 Negroes; journeymen barbers, laundry workers, tobacco workers, United Textile Workers, cooks and waiters, and Americans Federation of Teachers. Division in the latter is partly due to separate schools; in the barbers because of different clientele, in the textile union because Negroes are in southern mills where mixed unions are difficult. Most Negro unionists are in unions admitting Negroes freely to mixed or separate unions; longshoremen, hod carriers and building laborers, tunnel workers. Johnson remarks that these are not skilled trades requiring apprenticeship and are lines of work freely employing Negroes. Geographical location largely determines whether locals are separate are mixed. Boot and shoe workers, federal employees, mail carriers, post office employees unions follow the same policy. Only Two Pure in Heart United Mine Workers and the garment unions admit Negroes only in mixed locals. The Independent Unions The Independent Unions Independent Negro unions are the Railroad Men's Association, protest union of railway workers barred from regular craft unions but willing to affiliate with A. F. of L. when restrictions are removed, admitting them to full membership. Dining car men are not favorably disposed to join the A.F. of L., and the Pullman porters have not expressed their policy. Other A. F. of L. unions exist in trades employing few if any Negro workers, partly due to the latter's lack of skill, lack of opportunity to obtain skill due either to employers or white workers' unwillingness to teach. Vast Unorganized Majority Twice as many Negro workers in proportion to all Negro workers are in agriculture and domestic occupations as white workers in proportion to their total and these are unorganized fields. Organized Negroes are probably a greater proportion of Negro workers in trades with unions than whites relatively to their total in these trades, Johnson thinks. He believes his survey will help Negro workers, employers and unions 'to take the next step with their eyes open' now that a million Negroes are in northern industry, gaining skill and demanding attention. Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Hold Mass Meeting Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Hold Mass Meeting R. L. Mays Denounced as Traitor Sunday afternoon, January 31st, was a memorable day for the Pullman porters. At least three thousand Negroes packed themselves in the large auditorium of the Metropolitan Community Center, 3118 Giles Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, and listened to an eloquent address from A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The meeting started with every chair occupied and several hundred persons crowded the aisles, the stairs and the doorway seeking entrance. So great was the enthusiasm that it took fully fifteen minutes before Mr. M. P. Webster, western organizer and chairman of the meeting, manager to call the house to order. Messrs. A. Philip Randolph and A. L. Totten, field organizer, were accompanied by Messrs. Chandler Owen, co-editor of the Chicago Bee, J. Francis Stradford, attorney-at-law, and W. D. Allimono, a certified public accountant, who has the supervision of the auditing for the Chicago local of the Brotherhood. Mr. M. P. Webster in his opening remarks gave a very brief outline of the organization and explained in detail the soundness of its purpose, and the security of its financial standing. He told of the great confidence which he had held for R. L. Mays, and that when the movement to organize the Pullman Porters started no one could convince him of a better friend, "Happily," said he; "we did not entrust him too far. He was not a member, but served only as a speaker at all meetings where he openly denounced the Pullman Company and all who had shown opposition to the movement. When I read the release of Mays which he had sent to all the Negro newspapers throughout the country I was amazed beyond words." Webster said Mays was a friend of his for many years and had won the respect of a large number of citizens in Chicago, but since he has proved to be such a traitor he has now lost his friendship which he can never regain and also that of every self-respecting person in the country. (Prolonged applause.) When Mr. Randolph was introduced the audience cheered as men and women who still stood on the stairway made a last-minute effort to gain entrance. In his most eloquent manner Mr. Randolph explained the right, value, and necessity for Pullman porters to organize. He said: "Through the intelligent agitation of the B. of S. C. P., the men are receiving back pay from April 1, 1924 until the present time, which money the Pullman Company had not paid them. Another significant move is the present wage conference which was brought about only through the agitation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Perters. Whatever you get as an increase of pay and better working conditions as a result of this conference, you need not thank the Pullman Company or its eighteen appointed (not elected) delegates, but you have only to thank the B. of S. C. P." (Prolonged and thunderous applause.) When Mr. Randolph mentioned the name of Perry Howard the audience broke into laughter and applause as he announced the intentions of the B. of S. C. P. to drive him into an obscurity from which he shall never emerge. And then the indignation of the audience evinced itself when he exposed the Washington conference, and there were cries of "down with Chisum and Bishop Carey." PULLMAN CO. GRANTS ONLY PER CENT INCREASE TO PORTERS Two Delegates Decline to Sign Agreement The much heralded wage conference between Pullman porters and the company was held last week in Chicago. After considerable discussion the conference adopted a wage scale that amounts to an eight per cent increase for the Porters. Many of the delegates were disgusted with the small addition to the salaries, and two of them were so dissatisfied that they declined to place their signatures on the agreement. While the advance of a bit more than Five dollars per month to each of the 12,000 porters is a step in the right direction and was granted in an effort to stave off the further organization of the mep, the smallness indicates that the company feels that other means of avoiding the demands of the men through their Brotherhood has been planned. The hull in interest on the part of the Porters in the Brotherhood organization that was occasioned by many waiting the action of the conference is now ended; and the disappointment will undoubtedly result in renewed activity in their program of organization. The conference result makes it plain that the company will yield grudgingly only what is forced from them by their men.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1926 CLEVELAND ELKS IN PRE-GRAND LODGE RUMPUS LOCAL LODGES WANT HONORS Though the annual convention of the Independent, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World is yet some months off, already dissension has been found in connection with the affair. Cyhogo Lodge, No. 95 of Cleveland, the first lodge in the territory it seems has arrogated to itself the right to be sole host to the visiting herd. King Tut Lodge No. 39, originally set up by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson in East Cleveland and later moved into the city proper wants to share in the glory of the occasion; and thereby hangs the tale. City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming has been named as chairman of the general committee, with J. W Turk, C. P. Lancaster, Major R. N Dillard and Charles Smith as officers of the committee. All of the necessary sub-committees have been organized, and without including members of the King Tut Lodge, in any important places. The latter have set up a kick. Grand Exalted Ruler has visited Cleveland in an effort to compose the differences, but apparently without entirely satisfactory results. The Cleveland City Auditorium has been engaged for the big reception, despite this, the threat of the Grand Exalted Ruler to take the convention from Cleveland still hangs over the heads of those in charge, and the situation is pregnant with possibilities of unpleasant character. Mr. Wilson, however, assures the Tribune, that matters will be ironed out with full recognition of King Tut Lodge's right to full participation. Resents Colored Barbers "Bobbing" White Women's Hair Resents Colored Barbers "Bobbing" White Women's Hair Atlanta, Georgia, has again demonstrated its tendency to think in the archaic terms of past prejudices. Since time immemorial, Negro barbers have served the "Southern gentlemen." With the advent of the bobbed hair craze, and the coming of the women folks of those selfsame gentlemen to the barber shops of the colored brother, the old prejudices were inflamed, and the city council passed an ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white customers. The bill was passed last Monday night, and is now before the mayor. Not all of Atlanta approves of the measure. Two church organizations have gone on record as protesting it as will be seen by resolutions protesting against the ordinance that was adopted by the Evangelical Ministers' Association and by a conference of Methodist laymen from North Georgia. Before becoming law the ordinance must be approved by Mayor Walter A. Sims. "We deplore the proposed action of the city of Atlanta," reads part of the laymen's resolution, as "being unjust to the Negroes and unworthy of white citizens to thus discriminate against the Negroes, to whom we ought to be just and helpful to the limit of our ability, in guaranteeing them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Ministers' Association, "looks with disfavor upon any ordinance that will prohibit colored barbers from serving their white patrons as has always been their custom.

Toledo Newspaper Wins In Fight For Respect Toledo Newspaper Wins In Fight For Respect Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 10—(By the Associated Negro Press) The observer, published in this city by Cornelius Edwards, has just succeeded in a campaign which had as its object respect for the Negro race, as reflected in headlines and stories in the daily papers. Hereafter, according to rules compiled by the white papers of the city, the word "Negro" is to be begun with a capital letter, and only where absolutely necessary for identification is the word to be used at all. The following rules adopted by the Toledo Blade shows the nature of the stand which the dailies have taken: 1—The Blade does not want to play up the fact that any person figuring in the news is Colored, nor does it want to suppress the racial adjective in every case. The fact of color should not be stressed in the news but mentioned casually, if at all. 2—The color is never to be used in a headline. 3—The term "colored" is to be used whenever possible in place of "Negro." "Negress" must never be used. "Black" is prohibited. 4—Whenever "Negro" is used it must be capitalized. The word is seldom necessary, however, except where it is part of the name of an organization, such as "Negro Business Men's Club" or something of the sort. JOURNALISM IN N. C. HIGH SCHOOLS The North Carolina high schools have gone seriously into the field of high school journalism and Mr. W. A. Robinson, State Supervisor of Colored high schools has secured three prizes in that field as follows: 1. Best volume of a high school newspaper. Prize by Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham. 2. Best high school annual. Prize by Messrs, E. R. Merrick and R. L. McDougald, Durham. 3. Best student editorial in a high school publication. Prize by Norfolk Journal and Guide through editor P. B. Young. In 1924-25 there were thirteen newspapers and eight annuals published. Already many additional papers have appeared and several schools are working toward an annual. Mr. H. L. Trigg, principal of Berry O'Kelly Training School, Method, is chairman of the committee on high school publications of the high school section of the North Carolina Negro Teachers' Association and has worked diligently to create an interest in high school papers throughout the State. SEPARATE BEACH BILL PASSED The bill for separate bathing beaches for white and colored persons in the District of Columbia, which was introduced by Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, was passed by the House Tuesday without a record vote. The bill provides for the construction of one bathing pool for whites and another for colored at a total approximate cost of $345,000. Noted Indian Dr. DiscoversPreparation that Grows Hair Two Inches Longer in Two Months Willing to give Free Samples to all readers of this paper to prove the merits of his Discovery Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and conclusion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the brim was grazed to a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what it was that she had been using on his hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she had been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair and after that, to determine the Delano announced that he had discovered certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of on hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coo-Tar Hair Grower. From that time on, he was able to produce phenomenal and an uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow. He also found that under most bald scabs the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this magazine, will send his or her name and address to Dept. 51.

It is understood that the body will follow up the protests with a personal appearances at the hearings of the different bills. The Letter Hon. Arthur Capper, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. My dear Senator Capper: We know that we can depend upon you to aid us in our fight against the avalanche of hostile measures that have been introduced in Congress this month against the colored people— the Anti-marriage, Jim-Crow Car, Gasque School Reorganization, and Separate Bathing Beach Bills. We are opposing them all on the broad princi- ple of democracy. First, the Anti-marriage Bill. Colored people, as a whole, have as much feeling against intermarriage with white as the whites themselves, hence there is no need of legislation for the issue can safely be left to personal tastes. We oppose the bill because it writes discrimination into legislation and sets a precedent for every other kind of hostile legislation. We oppose it further because it puts every unprotected Colored woman and girl at the mercy of numberless white men who preach segregation and at the same time pursue Colored women, and even little girls. Second, the Jim Crow bill is an aimed insult at the Colored race. It is undemocratic, and economically wasteful. There is no demand for it either by whites or blacks. The car companies will bears testimony to the truth of this statement. Third, the Gasque Bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Representative Gasque from South Carolina for the election of the school board here is unjust and undemocratic, for it limits Colored and white people to the privilege of voting for members of their own race, which limitation and segregation in the ballot is not suffrage. The people should control their schools for they are the largest interest the citizen has, but that control must be democratic. Fourth, there is no need for separate bathing; beaches for white and Colored people here. Of all of the thousands of miles of coasts on this earth, only the short stretch from Texas to Washington has such insulting restrictions. On the Pacific the coast is free from pole to pole, and on the east from Cape Horn to Texas, and from Cape May to the frozen North all races of people enjoy the ocean together without friction or mutual injury. Colored people go to the beaches to bathe, and not to search for companionships. It is a civil right SOCI and PLEASANT PLAINS ASSOCIATION HAS REGULAR MEETING The regular meeting of the Pleasant Plains Citizens association occurs Friday night, February 12th in the Bruce School building.

POUBLE CROSSING PORES SD es ae re ee cup all the old literary hack writers and some new ones to discussing and surveying, and:tovadvising and warning Negro workers as to what should ‘be their attitude toward working peoples’ or- ganizations. TNe February issue of the magazine “Opportunity” is practically a Negro “labor” number. ~ ‘As we usually find in these latter days, the Negro writer whose matter appears in a publi- cation controlled directly or indireetly by white people has. developed a technic which were it not for the purposes and effects of it, would almost all for admiration. When used by the pharma- cist we call it “sugar coating.” What we should call it when applied to dangerous or delusive ar- gument or advice we do not know. - The open- eyed white workers (so we learn in the Janu- ary “Mefcury”) refer to such loose-jointed, in- conclusive stuff as “brisbanalities.” Those who ead the twaddle concerning the race question— ‘Negro, Japanese, Mexican, East Indian, ete— which appears in the “Today” column in the Heart papers can enjoy the tang of that term. However, the stuff to which we are referring, ‘which is direeted especially to our race-labor sit~ ustion is not merely banal, it is worse—deleteri- ous, dangercus, sometimes approaching the lethal. "We need a name for it, one that will-indicate its a@msidious and sinister character. (Perhaps our Sziend Lemus who put “hustlerati” into the new ‘American dictionary can devise a fitting designa- tion.) We all remember Dean Kelly Miller's’ antinomy: “Logic aligns. the Negro with labor, but good sense arrays him with capital.” But further and wotse is a long article in “Opportunity” for February by T. Arnold Hill, under the heading “The Dilem- amaof Negro Workers.” The dilemma which he @isousses may be stated in his own words thus: “The concern is not over intellectual issues, but with the practical application of trade unionism d of twelve million Negroes,” Mend again: “We are concerned with the technique of unious as they relate to colored: workers, who find them- adlves at sea, not knowing whether to steer in Be Sosctionat capital. or in the direction of 1a- Bust why he should separate the intellectual from the praetical in such an issue as the-one he ‘outlines, leaves us inthe air. This much, though, as both intellectually and practically clear, Ne- qgrees as « class. are. overwhelmingly workers. ‘Fhe few if any who are able to live comfortably # at all on tho income from their eapital alone, ware negligible: So, the real issue is, shall Negro aworkers organize? as‘ the white workers have ens. almost completely. Negroes may be “at sex” on that question but they are not at sea in ‘the sense that they are neither capitalists nor ‘workers. They are workers—the entire group. Weither is the’ dilemma compounded with the question of joining some of the existing unions or drifting as now. Mr. Hill's article would lead ‘ke uninformed or unanalytical. to think that all “labor” was. in. one. big: union; so all-inclusive ‘that there was no room for any organization not within, or affiliated with; that union. “Tho Negro has his own fraternal orders, sel- sdum or never recognized by, let ‘alone affiliated swith, the whites; though in many cases bearing the same names. The’same is largely true of his “yeligious bodies. Why must it be different with Asbor- organizations? ‘4m his article- Mr. Hill purports to present the arguments and the evidence on both sides of his -édemma. He purports to- be weighing them un- ‘insedly, xet he presents two big. chunks of evi dence(?), which he ought to know are not truth al statements of the facts. ‘He cites certain resolutions which he says wer “passed” by the Colored Elks at Richmond, wher as matter’ of fact, we are credibly informed mo such refolutions were considered at the Rich ‘mond’ convention; or any other convention, mucl Jess.“passed.” 5 : ‘Jn another place he.says: “A coriference of neor than fifty colored leaders.was held in Washing: ‘vn and they took action against organized la bor” The “conference” gid nothing of ‘the sort though the person who called it sent out a. press qelease stating that it did. Mr. Hill surely mus‘ ‘iknow the truth as to that affair. But to come” back to the. dilemma, After = good deal of doubling and:criss-crossing—citing all that he can think of or devise which he sup: poses is against “organized labor” or the organ- zing of Negro: workers, mixed with a little soft- padsled, hedging “in its favor, he winds up thus: “ia an: undertone; audible only to himself, for the is afraid to express an opinion, he |the Negro? comeludes that he will take a middle course. . . . “When coe ‘uses: its power in his favor, as St-does: in alb issues when it cares to do so, it will ibe tin for him ito decide to oppose labor or. ganizations, or when labor removes barriers that rob him of positions, he.will decide in their favor. Until the}. he -will-govon his way resolved to let coming events decide his course of action.” (The emphasis is ours.) si ‘We have already pointed out the sophistry in that; for it is not # question’as to whether or not he-line up with one side or the-other in a contest, that he is now outside of, the question is whether PAGE FOUR he will join: the white worker in the: contest” or organize battalions of his own, or will continue to give aid. and comfort to the exploiters of his class—the workers. * : Is poison-any: less“harmful when mixed with lot of apple-sauce? L In an. article. written some. years ago by Rey, H. L. Hastings, and republished in the American Sentinel” for October, 1925, he gives as one of the ‘reasons for‘accepting the claim of inspiration for the Bible the fact that in its narratives of the lives of the chief characters mentioned—whether noble or ignoble—there-was no suppression of ug- ly or compromising transactions “in which . the parties had engaged: Rev. Hastings cites several’ instances of the narration of incidents in the lives of some of the most revered and holy men which no “historian” would be likely to incorporate in a narration. He then goes as follows: Do: yow suppose if the Bible had been written by some learned- doctor; revised by a committee of eminent divines, and published by some great [raligiows soeistyy we should ever have head of Nosh’s. drunkenness, of Abraham's deception, of Lot's disgrace, of Jacob's cheating, of Paul and Barnabas quarrelling, or of Peter's lying, cursing, or dissembling? ‘Not atall. The good men, when. they came to such an ineident, would have said, “There is no use in saying: anything about that, It’s all past and gone; it will not help anything, and it will only hurt the cause.” If a committee of such divines had- prepared the Bible you would have had a biography of men whose lives were patterns of piety and propriety, instead of poor sinners as they were. While the arguments of Reverend Hastings may not be regarded as wholly conclusive: by everybody, the point he makes is. sustained by the hubbub which Was eaused by a-few. remarks recently made by Rupert Hughes, the eminent historian and novelist, concerning ~ President George Washington. Mr, Hughes “accused” Washington of being a moderate drinker, a mild swearer, a rather intem- perate dancer, and an occasional gambler (for small stakes). But worst of all he aroused the present-day purists and pretenders by asserting that Mr, Washington owned a distillery and ac- tually sold its products for profit. While a number-of ministers and one-hundred- per-centers and colonial dames have vehemently protested: against this “slandering” of the Father of his Country, none have explicitly denied the truth of the “charges.” Indeed, they could not well do so, for the various allegations are fully’ sus- tained by Mr. Hughes by citations from..Wash- ington's private diaries—in his own handwriting, However, all are agreed that such matters should not ‘be mentioned—for reasons that are ob- vious—as stated’ by Rev. Hastings. But, if fhe newspapers gave the remarks of Mr. Hughes fully, he did not mention: the fact that Mr. Washington owned and heli a number of his: fellow-men’as slaves, living on and enjoy- ing.the® profits of their-unrequited toil. At any rate, if it: was mentioned,’ none “of the: sensitive defenders of the first President seemed: ta regard this:“sum ‘of alf villaines,” as Garrison ised to call it, asa stain. on the ‘scutchen of this Vir- ginia gentleman. “Equality, among other things means the right of even the humblest to: live by the facts rather than by the pretensions ‘of the prouwd:”—De. T. V.

We hear that President Durkee of Howard Uni- versity has been called to Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. This news reminds us of a passage of Scripture which reads: His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joys of thy Lord. ‘That the harrassed-servant should be sent to Plymouth Church as a respite after a fighting administeation at Howard, is an earned reward. ‘The fact that some previous ministers of Ply- mouth (including the great Henry Ward Beecher) fought FOR Negroes makes no difference. Durkee fought, too, even if it was AT them and WITH them.

Beaty, a prominent dentist here last Wednesday, came as a distinct shock to the consumer, Howard University, reports the prominence of his wife, Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beaty. Dr. Beaty met his death by a bullet fired from the gun of E. L. Williams friend of the family and a roomer in the Doctor's home. The slaying is said to have been the outcome of disagreements which had not hitherto been adjusted. Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beaty, wife of the slain dentist, executive secretary of the Tampa Urban League and an officer in the National Association of Colored Women, is said to have been the only witness to the slaying. Williams is said to have shot Dr. Beaty and then escaped. It is said that Dr. Beatty had ordered Williams to leave his home on account of his unbecoming conduct on Tuesday. Williams left, but the next day returned to get his belongings and at that time an argument is said to have arose and the shooting followed. Both men are said to have drawn guns, but Williams beat the dentist to the draw. Dr. Beatty was shot twice and died almost instantly. Dr. Beatty was born, reared and educated in Louisiana. After his marriage he located in Tampa, the home of his wife, and opened dental offices, where his jovial disposition and skill won him a lucrative practice. He was popular with all classes. Dr. Beatty's remains were taken to Louisiana, for burial. CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL "VALUE OF DISSATISFACTION" SERMON TO BE REEATED AT SPECIAL SERVICES SPECIAL SERVICES By special request, Rev. R. W.

Two bills aimed at the Negro were introduced in the Senate last week by Senator Cole Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina. One bill would require separate accommodations for white and Colored passengers on street cars in the District of Columbia. The other would prohibit the intermarriage of white and Colored persons in the United States. The bill for separate accommodations provide that all street railway and interurban companies operating in the District of Columbia be required to provide separate cars. It provides that equal accommodations shall be supplied to all persons without distinction of race or color. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for any officer or employee having jurisdiction over these to permit white and colored passengers to occupy the same car. A person violating this provision on conviction would be punished by a fine of not less than $50 or not more than $100 for each defense. The Blesse intermary bill would make it unlawful for any white man to intermarry with women of the Negro race, or any mulatto. Likewise it would be unlawful for any white woman to intermarry with any man of the Negro race, or mulatto. Any such marriage would be void. Any person violating the provisions of this bill would be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction would be punished by imprisonment for not less than six months or not more than twelve months. Any clergyman, minister or person authorized by law to perform marriage ceremonies, who would knowingly and willfully marry persons of different races would be guilty of a misdemeanor and would be subject, upon conviction, to the same penalty, as persons intermarrying.

Wilkinson has directed that all principals and officers of local public schools of divisions 10-13 arrange to release to the Negro Press such news of school activities as occur up to press time of our papers. In a letter on the subject addressed to those concerned with these sources of information he stated, in part; "It is the opinion of this office that the publication of our important news items in all of our local Colored papers is a matter of extreme importance to the schools and to the public generally, and that we should be willing, notwithstanding the extra amount of labor, to release for the Washington Tribune and the Washington Eagle which go to press early Thursday mornings, such portion of the important news of the week as may be made available at the close of business on Wednesdays. My understanding is that these two papers could use news matter as late as nine o'clock on Thursday morning. "This office accordingly respectfully requests you to extend to our local Colored press this courtesy, and thus avail ourselves of their splendid offer to cooperate with us in placing before the public important policies and interesting news pertaining to the school system."

DivorceGranted Howard Barnes, of 2117 Fifth Street, Northwest, has been granted a final decree of absolute divorce from Mrs. Rosie Barnes, of 420 V Street, Northwest, on account of alleged misconduct by her with Robert V. Barnes. Howard and Rosie Barnes were married in the District of Columbia, June 5, 1907. They have five children, Joshianna Barnes, age 15; Howard Barnes, Jr., age 12; Thelma Barnes, age 9; Dorthea Barnes, age 5, and Ines Barnes, age 3. Howard Barnes charged the birth of an illegitimate child, of whom the father was the co-respondent, Robert B. Barnes. He said that the co-respondent resigned his government position and went to New York when he learned that the wife had acknowledged to her husband that the co-respondent was the child's father. The illegitimate child is supposed to be under the care of the Board of Charities under the name of Bernard Ward. Attorney Joseph N. Jones represented the husband. Attorney Edmund M. Chaplain appeared for the wife. Attorney Perri W. Frisby was appointed by the court to defend the co-respondent. HORNER INDORSED BY BARRY FARMS ASSOCIATION R. R.

The local aggregation proved no match for the visitors. Both teams were slow getting started, but after they got started Morgan College gave a fine exhibition of shooting and passing and, in the language of the turf, won going away. "Lanky" Jones, Morgan College center, was the bright star of the game. His one-handed handling of the ball repeatedly brought cheers from the large crowd that witnessed the contest. Besides shooting 12 goals from the floor and 5 fouls for a total of 29 points, he was all over the floor and proved himself a star on the defense as well as the offense. Hill, Morgan College right forward, made the first point of the game when Braddick committed a foul. He also made the first field goal, getting a free throw. Ed Davis, Carlisle left basket after "Lanky" Jones missed a forward, made the count 3-2 when he shot the first field goal for the local team. Young tossed a field goal under the basket. "Lanky" Jones missed two free throws. Braddick made a shot from mid-field. "Lanky" Jones then began to do his stuff. He made a long shot that made the crowd gasp. From then on, he shot with deadly accuracy. The first half ended with the count 21 to 11. Morgan College began the second half with a dazzling pace that was too much for the local team. Ev Davis was exhausted, and when Ed Davis was sent in to relieve him, the locals committed a technical foul, Ed Davis having begun the game and having been substituted twice. Their reserve strength wasted in the first half, the locals were helpless and "Lanky" Jones led his teammates in piling up the huge score of 61 to 21. **Morgan** **Carlisles** Hill ..... L.F. .....

Dunbar is Downed by Shaw Junior High Shaw Junior High School basketball team defeated Dunbar 10 to 5. The game was well-guarded by both teams. Shaw held Dunbar to one field goal. Jackson, Barnes, and Covington did the shooting while Henson, Johnson with Brooks alternating, did the wonderful guarding for the winners. Coach Cupid says that his center, Joshua Barnes, having wonderful qualities in shooting, dribbling and passing, is a coming "Lanky" Jones. Shaw is getting ready for the series with Randall. The first game will be played at Dunbar Tuéssday, February 16, and the second game at the Armstrong gym Tuesday, February 23. Atlanta Forfeits to Morehouse Atlanta Forfeits to Morehouse (Morehouse News Service) Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10-Atlanta University forfeited a hectic combat to Morehouse last Saturday night when they refused to play the extra period after having tied the score 30-30. Moreheld led at the half 20-6. Coach Harvey sent in his second team in order to test his reserve strength and rest his varsity for the battle against Hampton. Stanley began an Atlanta University rally with a brilliant shot from mid-floor. Baskets came thick and fast as the "Baby Tigers" blew up. In the last few minutes of the game, the Lightning Five returned in a frantic effort to retain the lead, which Atlanta had almost overcome. The timekeepers' whistle double-crossed fate and the game ended 30-30. After a long drawn out discussion over a discrepancy in the score, both teams were ordered on the floor, but the Atlanta University refused to return to the floor. After a further delay of 45 minutes, referee Branleis declared the tgame closed to Morehouse 2-0. Howard Seeks Organization to Combat C.I.A.A. A meeting to organize a collegiate athletic association will be held in the Carnegie Library on the Howard University campus Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Invitations to certain schools to attend this meeting will be extended by the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, of which Dr. E. P. Davis is chairman. Among the schools that will be represented are Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn.; Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.; Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Institute, W. Va.; Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.C.; Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O.; North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N.C.; Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Talladega College, Talladega, Ala.; Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo.; Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and North Carolina State College for Negroes, Durham, N.C. Lincoln Missing Lincoln University of Chester County, Pennsylvania, is among the schools that declined invitations to attend this meeting. Much significance is attached to the refusal of Lincoln to participate in this meeting. Lincoln has expressed its intention of affiliating with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which Howard University quit after the 1924 football season. While Lincoln refused to follow the action of Howard in withdrawing from the association, Lincoln insisted upon carrying out its contract for the last Thanksgiving Day football game with Howard University after the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association announced its members would not compete in athletic games against Howard University. Athletic relations between the schools belonging to the association and Lincoln were consequently severed. Howard University has offered Lincoln a two-year football contract, calling for one game in Washington and another in Philadelphia. The Lincoln athletic authorities indicated that it was their intention to re-enter the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Howard openly declared that they would not go back into the organization. To date, Lincoln has failed to sign the two-year contract for the annual Thanksgiving Day classic with Howard. The lead of Howard University athletic officials in attempting to organize an intercollegiate association is regraded as a move to organize for the purpose of combating the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. There is no indication that a single school belonging to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be represented. Virginia Union, Shaw and Johnston C. Smith—schools which are doing collegiate work—are among the universities not listed to be represented. Notwithstanding the fact that no previous meeting has been held and no temporary organization formed, the proposed organization has already been named the American Collegiate Athletic Association. Efforts to learn by whom and by what authority the proposed organization was named and whether or not a constitution and by-laws drafted and officers elected were unavailing. The program for the meeting fails to provide for the transaction of any business. The session will be given over to speech making. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, be scheduled to begin the festivities with a welcome address. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of North Carolina College for Negroes, who delivered the last commencement address at Howard University and prides himself upon persuading-Dr. Durkee to accept the presidency of Howard University, is slated to deliver thesis on "My Conception of the Function of the Proposed Organization of Colleges." Dr. E. P. Davis, whom alumni charge with being an athletic reactionary and partly the blame for the poor showing of Howard University in football because of a lack of knowledge of modern athletic systems, will deliver an address on "The Function of a Board of Athletic Control." Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, will also deliver an address on "Financing College Athletics." After these dignitaries have spoken a few men who know something about athletics will be permitted to say a few words. They are B. T. Harvey, athletic director at Mochouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, athletic director at the Dunbar High School; John H. Burr, basketball and football coach at Howard University; Edgar Westmoreland, of the Armstrong Technical High School, and Louis L. Watson, football coach and athletic director at Howard University. At 12 o'clock noon, Howard University will be host to the representatives attending at luncheon in the University Dining Hall.

This column is constrained to believe that the Athletic Council of Howard University has pirated the plans of the Eastern Board of Football Officials. At the December meeting of the officials' organization, a committee was appointed by Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, the president, to formulate plans for a meeting to be held either at the close of the present school year or prior to the beginning of the next for the purpose of forming a national organization. This action grew out of a discussion resulting from the application of the southern coaches organization through B. T. Harvey, athletic director at Morehouse College, for affiliation with the eastern organization. Now comes a release from Howard University stating that their Athletic Council had canvassed the situation and had decided to hold a meeting here Saturday to form an organization similar to the National Collegiate Athletic Association. We hope we are wrong in our conclusion has taken the initiative in organizing at the purpose of offsetting the Colored Inter-seeking, reprisal against certain members to play Howard University so long a ber.

Johnston C. Smith, Morris Brown, and m work should not be represented. We hope we are wrong in our conclusions, but it looks to us like Howard has taken the initiative in organizing a national collegiate association for the purpose of offsetting the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and seeking reprisal against certain members of that organization for refusing to play Howard University so long as that institution was not a member. For instance, if Howard University athletic officials are not actuated by ulterior motives, we cannot understand why Lincoln University should not be represented in any meeting having for its purpose the organization of a national collegiate athletic association. We cannot understand why Virginia Union should not be represented. We cannot understand why Shaw, Johnston C. Smith, Morris Brown, and many other colleges doing collegiate work should not be represented.

A qualification for membership will have to be set, and those schools coming up to the required standard will have to be admitted, unless it is intended for the proposed organization to be a closed affair only for the chosen few and to be dominated by Howard University.

Lacey of the Community Athletic Club in the Morgan College-Carlisles game last Monday night is deserving of commendation. Notwithstanding that he was the only official in a game, in which the speed was dazzling, he handled the affair to the satisfaction of the fans and players. He saw and called fouls, and showed that he knew how to officiate. And he it said to his credit that this game between a college and a semi-pro club was not marked by roughness as was the game between Morgan and Howard three weeks ago. Lacey made a difficult job look easy and he did it in fine style. Hampton Scores Over Seminary By Thomas W. Young Hampton, Va., Feb. 10—For the second time this season, the Dragons of Virginia Seminary laid down their arms before Hampton's Blue and White rush, this time on the latter's court in decidedly the most thrilling game seen here this season. At the mid-rest period Hampton had amassed the better end of a 19-4 score, but before the last whistle the Dragons had brought up their end nine points while Hampton claimed the evening at 26-13. Immediately after the tap-off, Whede fouled on Hargrove who put the shipmates into a 1-0 lead, but Whede retaliated when he received a pass from Bates and let the sphere rattle through the strings. Here Hargrove came through with another goal from the floor followed by "Savage" Brown with a free throw to place the Seasiders ahead, 4-2 Reed, Seminary's flashy forward, cashed in with a long shot to even up the count. Lambright with two goals from the planks, and Hargrove with one put the heraldic beast in the rear where the final whistle found it. Alexander and Captain Jones who had been observing from the sidelines were ushered in, and the former quickly tolled with a shot. Hargrove accounted for three points, "Cutie" Brown and Baker two each, to complete the work for the half. At the opening of the next period, with Hampton's second team in the fray, Wheedbe started something that at one time looked disturbing. "Country" McGowan failed to let the referee know that he was in the melee; Wheedbe made the free throw. Then came Reed with two double-deckers and "Bumble" Bron on his heels with another basket. The count stood 19-11 in favor of the seashore lads. Hampton's first string men reentered and clinched the victory when Alexander turned a foul shot and Hargrove and "Cutie" Brown each registered goals from the floor. The game was over soon after "Cutie" staved a pass to Alexander. A basket resulted. Hampton Seminary Lambright . L.F. Bates Brown, S.E. R.F. Reed Hargrove . Center Whedbee Thatcher L.G.

Since the Baltimore boys are to make their return trip here to meet the Armstrong team on Monday a very spirited game is expected between these teams. The game will begin at 3 o'clock in the Armstrong gymnasium where extra preparation is being made to entertain the large crowd which usually witnesses these inter-city contests. Coaches Gibson and Miller are both confident of turning the table on each other, therefore basketball at its best will be seen next Monday. Armstrong to Clash With Dunbar High Armstrong to Clash With Dunbar High Perhaps no event in the mid-year athletic program brings as much rivalry as the annual clashes between Armstrong and Dunbar on the basketball court. Followers of the two teams will see the first of the series of inter-high school games on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Colonnade when the city championship will be at stake. On paper, the Orange and Blue squad has a far superior team than the Red and Black wearers, as the former team has won ten and lost one game during the season, while the latter team has lost nearly all of its games with the same opponents. But the form on paper does not measure the strength of the teams when pitted against each other, for it is then that both teams forget records and play from start of finish for the supremacy of the school, and sweet is the contest to witness. The second of the inter-high school contests will occur on Thursday, February 25 at the same place. As the Colonnade offers a larger court than can be found in either school and it is decidedly neutral territory a very good exhibition of the court past time is expected. DARTMOUTH LOSES BASKET BALL STAR Hanover, N.H., Feb. 10—Dartmouth's basketball prospects were dealt a severe blow when it was announced today that Forrest Whittaker, giant Negro center, will be ineligible to-play for the remainder of the year because of scholastic difficulties. It was disclosed that he failed in one of his mid-year examinations and that he had cut many classes. As a result, he is on probation. 一 --- Your Printing Given Free America's Most Beautiful Dance Salon Alcoes Defeated By Athenians 35 to 25 Baltimore, Md., Feb. 10—Filled with the spirit of their triumphant invasion of the West, the Baltimore Athenians, last Friday night, humbled the Alcoes of Washington, D.C., by a 35 to 25 score at New Albert Auditorium. After a rough and tumble first half, with players on both quints fouling repeatedly the session ended 8 to 7 with the Athenians leading. Captain "Googles" Poles was at his best, accounting for six baskets. The little Greek forward caged them from every position except standing on his head. "Herb" Keller was benched early in the game for four personal fouls. "Herb" was about the only player to show the strain of the road tour. He missed five out of six free tosses and appeared to be off his stride. Baskerville went in in Keller's position. Harris and Wheatley worked like a clock in guard, while "Scrappy" Brown's inheritance of a good block of stock in the Sparrows Point Bank had not affected his game. For the Alcoes, Wheaterless was the high scorer with three goals for six points. "Soup" Turner was put out of the game in the second half by the foul route. However, he was a thorn in the side of the Greeks while he was in action. Trigg, Whitted and Carpenter led the attack for the Alcoes. In an attempted last minute rally, the Alcoes rushed many substitutes on the floor in an endeavor to stave off defeat. g f p We'th'less,rf 3 0 1 g f p Purner,lf ...1 0 4 Brown,rf ...4 1 2 Carpenter,c ...0 1 2 Poles,lf! ...6 4 2 Gruves,lg ...1 0 1 Keller,l ...1 1 4 Brooks,rg ...0 1 0 Wheatley,lg ...1 2 2 Harris,lg ...1 1 0 Harris,rg ...1 0 2 Whitted,c ...1 4 1 Bask'rville,lf 0 1 1 Trigg,rg ...0 2 3 Taylor,rf ...0 0 0 Sutter,lf ...1 0 0 Neal,lf ...0 0 0 Totals ...8 9 12 Totals ...13 9 13 EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE COMMISSIONERS TO MEET SATURDAY Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 10—The Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League will meet at the Christian Street Y.

CHICK SUGGS DEFEATED GOLD- STEIN IN SEMI-FINAL New York, Feb. 7—With one of the best left hands ever seen in Madison Square Garden, Chick Suggs bested Abie Goldstein, former bantam weight champion, in the semi-windup last night. Suggs won seven out of the ten rounds. His left was working so busily that Goldstein couldn't keep out of the way. Goldstein threw many right hands at Suggs, and connected with some of them, but Chick was in front all the time. There weren't any knockdowns, but it was a rough and tumble affair nevertheless. Suggs weighed 117½ pounds and Goldstein 118. HOWARD DEFEATS ALCOES The Howard University basketball team defeated the Alcoes at the Lincoln Colonade Thursday night by a score of 43 to 32. The game was marked by the repeated calling of fouls, and the Alcoes' followers razzed Westmoreland. Howard led at the half, 26 to 13. **Howard** Alcoes Coates ..... L.F. ..... Turner Berry .....

Since that time six teams entered and a regular schedule has been adopted. Much athletic prowess, enthusiasm and humor is displayed at the games. The winning team will challenge the winners of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. League. Games are played on Wednesday and Saturday evenings from 7-9 p.m. Admission is free. The league has the backing of Coach Watson of Howard University, Capt. Johnson of the "Y," B. E. Henderson, of Dunbar, Raymond Contee of Randall, and Leroy Brickhouse representing the Bureau of Engraving. The L'Overture Athletic Club which was believed at the beginning of the "Y" League season would give trouble to the best teams in the league, has for the first time this season struck its form. If sufficient time and games were permitted by the league we should find them finishing around first place. L'Overture defeated Augustine by a score of 43 to 25. L'Overture Augustine Springgs . . .

Bishop of Detroit, at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. F. SPRIGGS, Father Duckett is the second colored man to be ordained in the Secular Order, in the United States, and the first one to be ordained for the Diocese of Detroit. He was consecrated with twenty-two white deacons who were members of the same class. He gained admission and graduated from Columbia Catholic College, Dubuque, Iowa, and completed his studies at Saint Paul's Seminary, Saint Paul, Minn. Father Duckette, is the first one from Saint Augustine's Church to be elevated to Holy Order. He is the son of Mrs. Lotitia Duckette, of Saint Augustine's Parish, and brother to Mrs. Helen Duckette Rattley, and Charles A. Duckette, of Miner Normal School, this city. He will start for the East at once to visit relatives and friends, and is expected in the city this week. Father Duckette will celebrate his first Solemn High Mass in Saint Augustine's Church where he once served Mass as an Altar Boy about the first Sunday in Lent, Sunday February 21, 1926, at eleven o'clock. Charles A. Duckette, his brother, who was also an Altar Boy will act as Master-of-ceremonies for the occasion. After a brief stay in Washington he will return to Detroit to receive his assignment.

Its efficiency ranging around 99 per cent, normally. Well the human body presents such a machine. Are you treating your machine or yourself in a way that will cause you to obtain the best possible results out of life? When the parts of your automobile become worn and you recognize some abnormal sound, you take your car to a mechanic. When the efficiency of your car is below par and going up hill is difficult, you drive to a garage and have an expert to look it over. You would never consider making a long trip without having your car over-hauled. Further, you have your automobile gone over at least twice a year, every spring and fall. Any loose parts are tightened and worn ones replaced by new ones. Do you think that the highly complex and efficient machine, the human body, requires any less attention than does your automobile, if its efficiency is to be maintained? Which do you think is more important, to have your automobile working up to par or to have your body going 100 per cent normal? At least your body is due as much attention as your car. When pains first begin to attract attention, see your human mechanic—the doctor. When for any reason upon exertion, you find that you are extremely short-winded, call on your expert examiner—the doctor. At least go to your doctor twice a year, every fall and spring, and have him give you a thorough examination. Do not permit that beginning falling heart, slightly affected lung or digestive upset, to get too big a lead on you before paying your physician a visit, and having him advise and prescribe for you. Our national health is the nation's greatest asset. To prevent any possible deterioration of the American stock is a patriotic duty. Display your patriotism by keeping physically fit and incidentally you will be mentally fit. Your community, race and nation will profit, and lasty, but, by no means the least, life will be worth living.

The show played to 16,426 paid admissions in the Lafayette Theatre, New York three weeks ago. Negro acts underlined in the big No wYork houses this week are as follows; Masten's "Holiday in Dixie" and Brown and DeMont are in the 125th Street Theatre; and Bryson and Jones, the dancing team are in the Hippodrome. Margaret "Singie" Hall, age 8 years has the distinction of being the youngest member of the Colored Actors Union. She shows more sense than do a lot of her elders in the business. "Hello Rufus" is in Florida. The Leon Long title is playing Tampa this week. The Rusco and Hockwald Georgia minstrels are in St. Louis and will tour through the midwest for the balance of the season. Charlie McClane reports a nice line of film bookings, and a steadily growing patronage at the Douglas Theatre Philadelphia. Station WCTA Columbus, Ohio Station WCTA Columbus, Ohio Brown's Skip Models Score in Columbus Brown Skin Models Score in Columbus With the original "Artists and Models" displaying the "American Girl" at a downtown theatre and Irvin C. Miller, producer and actor, glorifying the "Afro-American Girl", (including the brownskin and the high 'yeller'), at the Dunbar, theatre-goers of this little "hamlet on the banks of the Scioto River" had a real study in colors, theatrically speaking, last week. The glorification was slightly hampered due to a recent police order regulating the costumes worn by the ladies. The show, advertised as the World's Greatest Revue, with fascinating music and funny-face comedy, lived up to all press agent notices. One thing to Miller's credit, he keeps abreast of the times with the many amusing sit- tuations throughout the show. Among the principals are George Williams, the droll comic; George Crawford, comedian and acrobatic dancer, who kept the patrons in an uproar; Cecil Rivers, Florine Brown, Carrie Huff Brown, Lilly Yuen, flashy Charleston stepper; St. Claire Dodson, clever dancer; the little Edna Barr, a great favorite here, and Hayes Pryor, the well known character actor, who appeared here last season in "Demi Virgin." His portrayal of "I am an Actor" was one of the choice bits of the show. The chorus is very good for the eyes. We often wonder how Miller always has such beautiful and talented girls. The chorus is composed of the following young ladies: Hilda Bendesheir, Birdie Upshaw, Alice Bowen, Sherry La Monte, Margaret Bolden and Dovie Lockhart; and the models—Yvette Dotson, Nettie Worthy and Sadie Tappan. Donald Haywood, composer and musical director, at the piano, is ably assisted by the Dunbar orchestra. NOTES On Friday night the entire company were house-guests of Franklin Lodge, No. 203, I. B. P. O. E. of W., at their first 1926 Reunion Dance. After a joyous welcome on behalf of the lodge by the Exalted Ruler, Everett Spurlock, the members of the company spent a very pleasant evening. "Smut" Smith, violinist and cornetist, has returned to the Dunbar Orchestra. With James, regular pianist and director, McKinney, trombonist, Lowe, saxophonist, Pickins, drummer, the orchestra is "just too bad." Blanche Thompson, another principal whose specialties are always well received here, was forced to omit her numbers, due to the show being cut for three shows each night. Miss Thompson's many friends made her stay very pleasant; in fact, the writer was appointed social secretary for her and Miss Barr, so numerous were the invitations to affairs. Seemed like a popularity contest. HE LIKES CO-OPERATION The Tribune is in receipt of a letter from Kennard Williams, Theatrical Editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, thanking us for providing his paper with the story of the T. O. B. A. meeting. He says "Accept this as a doubleheader of thanks for the Miss Campbell cut and the T. O. B. A. release. . . Be assured that I will return the favors in kind. Such magnamous acts can not be easily dismissed." The finest kind of pay for whatever labor was attached to giving the profession its just need of publicity. That it helped another publication doesn't hurt one bit. Let's all work together for the improvement of the profession and Negro journalism, at least until we have all gone beyond the struggling stage. Thanks, Afro. HARRY MARTIN DIES Harry Martin, cornetist and saxophone player in the Roosevelt Theatre orchestra in Cincinnati, Ohio, died last week and was buried on Tuesday, February 16. Deceased was a widely known musician who has been with many of the better attractions. He was a member of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 814. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Colored Actors Union To Hold Annual Election, Feb.28 The Colored Actors Union executive committee announces that the annual election to the Board of Directors of the largest organization in the profession takes place on February 28 at the Union headquarters, 1223 Seventh Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. A large turn out of members is expected, as many shows and acts will stop in the city over the day en-route to their next week bookings. These will augment those playing the city or at liberty here. Members who will not be able to present are advised to send their proxy to the secretary, Telfair Washington, so their vote may be cast for them. Especial interest attaches to the meeting as the report of the successful trip of their representative to the meeting of the Theatre Owners Booking Association is to be read. The new Board of Directors will have charge of the plans for the nation-wide Actors' Day in every house on the time, proceeds of which are to be used for the establishment and maintenance of a home for the profession. Candidates selected by the nominating committee for directors are Jules McGarr, Boots Hope, Eugene Hooten, Wesley Wilson, Bart Kennett, Telfair Washington, Henri Bowman, Sammy Graham, Garnet Warbington, J. A. Jackson and S. H. Dudley. QUARTETTE WORKS IN A CHAPEL London, England—The Four Harmony Kings recently sang Negro dities and spirituals at a Sunday service at the Wesleyan Central Hall. The Rev. R. Ernest Little, the copaster with Rev. E. Oldham French of that service, declares that it is no innovation, but merely part of a wide-reaching movement to make the ordinary church services brighter and more interesting, especially to the younger generation. "Silas Green" Taking Three Weeks Rest "Silas Green" Taking Three Weeks Rest "The Silas Green" show is doing a three weeks lay-off at Macon, the headquarters of the show. During the period, the car is being overhauled and the equipment generally inspected and improved under the supervision of Johnson Rooks, company manager. While most of the performers are taking advantage of the first vacation in four years, many are remaining in Macon. Evelyn White is visiting an aunt in Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Billups is with her aunt at Rocky Mount, N.C., and Mrs. Wiggens is with her grandmother in Vicksburg, Tenn. John Wilson has gone to Humboldt, Tenn., to see a brother. Coy Herndon is spending a fortnight at Miami, Fla. The others are in Macon. Nora and Irene Cook Robinson, Sam Kettel, advance man of the "Florida Blossoms" and the Susie Sutton show are making the town look like a show shop. Miss Sutton and her company packed the Douglas last week. This week a bunch of the Silas Green people occupy the house. Alonzo Moore, the novelty feature of the big attraction, Kike and Marion Gresham and the Silas Green Trio, Ebbie Burton, J. C. Davis and Elnora Moore make up the bill with permission of Mr. Collier. All of which is according to the epistle of Kike Gresham, the dependable. Philadelphia Notes Philadelphia Notes By J. W. Hamilton The newsstand at 1144 South Street is slowly drawing a nice theatrical call for the Tribune, and owner Hamilton is trying to make the paper justify this interest. Eddie Lemons and his company was in the town last week, and reports on the aggregation is good. Wells and Wells closed their season with the Bessie Smith unit and were seen in Philadelphia last week. Lula Whidby, Teressa Brooks, and Mrs. Lemon make a cast of principals who when working with a comedian as clever as Eddie could not help but make the town sit up and notice that tabloid. Tolliver and Harris doing a comedy character act as Mexican and American soldier hit the public favor with their offering. The Musical Spillers and Nat Cash, dancer, were on the Standard bill and both acts registered as was to be expected. BUCK AND BUBBLES ON PANTAGES TIME Nat Nazarro with Buck and Bubbles has been contracted for a tour of the Pantages Circuit. The act opened on the time at Newark, N.J., February 1.

Gilpin returns to the Provincetown Playhouse in a revival of "The Emperor Jones" in its original theater on February 16. The engagement is an indefinite one. Early in the Spring, Mr. Gilpin will go to California to play the title part in a film version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." According to reports, this engagement is at a salary that pays the dramatic star a sum well up in five figures. The Ebony Follies By "Young Dud" Well, howdy do, people? This is the new musical show, "The Ebony Follies" which will open their new station in Washington and will be known as D. E. F.—so look out and tune in on us once a week by the way of The Washington Tribune. The show will be one of the fastest shows that is on the road, carrying twelve brown-skin girls in line. Their names will be given in this paper next week. The cast is Lonnie Fisher, S. H. Dudley, Jr., Ozie McPherson, Juile Cox, Onnie Jones, Cash and Smith, Selma Sayles, and Vivian Richards and Maud Tolliver. The show will carry its own band. Book and lyrics by S. H.

The show is already rehearsing and everything is going along fine. The opening is set for February 18 in a Hofheimer Theatre at Petersburg, Va. I want to say that we are all reading the Tribune and hope that all of the profession are doing the same. All the show_members will be in the Colored Actors Union and we hope all that read this are C. A. U. members. Always remember, that in union there is strength, so get in, folks. Well, this is D.E.F. signing off, till next week. Wishing you all luck, and the Shufflin' Sam Co., hello, gang, doing it over there with the ship. Smith and Holmes Big Hit Music Lovers Flock To Hear Celebrated Artists at the Empress Theatre, Columbus, Ohio (By Station W. T. C. A.) Columbus, Ohio—The Jackson-Williams' Empress Theatre, one of the finest picture houses west of New York, has secured the services of Sanford Smith, harpist, organist and pianist, and O'Connor Holmes, organist and pianist, of this city. Both young men are artists of the first rank, having studied abroad under celebrated teachers. In connection with first-run pictures, they render a musical program that has attracted the attention of music lovers of Columbus who crowd the Empress nightly. The Empress Theatre, a $150,000 clifice, is one of the most modern theatres in the city. Located in the heart of Long Street, it is one of the show places of "Good Old Columbus Town."

Managers Point Out Object Lesson to the Perfomers I am making this criticism for the benefit of the performers in general. On each Sunday there is given a matinee at the nudity theatre, the performers are admitted free and I have noticed repeatedly that the performers employed for the week that has just about closed, work harder than at any other performance during the week, and for what? The answer is this, they have a way of gathering at their stopping places, talking of what this fellow can do and how great he was at the matinee, and how such and such a girl put over a song and how great the chorus girls can sing and dance. These praises mean nothing to them because they are behind closed doors and the public never sees nor hears anything about it, the result is, there is no business in the theatres when there is a check-up on the week. Why? The public pays for their worse work and the performers get the best free of charge. I want to ask the performer, how do they expect to get salaries from the one who is paying them, (THE PUB-LIC) if they are not going to work for it, I want them to see why the Agent can not give them the salaries they want if they don't work and make business for a Manager, when he can not take it in at the box office. Can't you see that if you will put on your best work at all times that you will start the Public to talking and praising you and that means advertising and advertising means business for the Manager, hence the agent is in position to ask for more salary for you! The praise of performers among them selves don't get you any thing, so wake up and play for the Public and not for the performers and you will be better off. Signed: D. L.

He said that the "Whites who visit these places do so for no good." The policy indicated by this speech is likely to influence a retrenchment of expenses and a curtailment of the program that will make the summer a hard one for performers in the big town. MRS. SALLIE LEE DEAD Mrs. Sallie Lee, original "Mother of the show folks" died at her home in Chicago on January 27. "She was our own Mrs. Lee," says Jakie Smith, the old timer who appraised us of the old 'lady's passing. She will be mourned by the whole profession, many of whom are obligated to her for her kindliness at some time in their career.

Liverwright to Produce Play Horace Liverwright, the book publisher, is going to produce a play for Paul Robeson, according to New York sources of information. The piece has been written by Jim Tulley and Frank Dazey. The principal character is that of a prizefighter, one well fitted to Robeson who is an athlete of distinction and was once selected as a possible competitor of Jack Dempsey. The title selected is "Big Boy," but inasmuch as Al Jolson has a musical revue under that title it is very likely that a new name must be found for the production before it sees production.
