COBB NOMINATED FOR JUDGESHIP ARMSTRONG TEACHERS ACCUSED NAME SENT TO SENATE BY COOLIDGE President Coolidge last Monday nominated James A. Cobb, an attorney, of 613 F Street, Northwest, to be judge of the Municipal Court of the SUPT. WILKINSON'S REPORT CITES TEACHERS FOR LACK OF EFFORT TO PREVENT STRIKE FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 38 COBB ARMS SUPT. WILKINSON CITES TEACHERS EFFORT TO PREV TROPHY OFFERED CADETS Sponsors of the Students' Council and school officials at the Armstrong Technical High School did not exercise in the situation arising when the demotion of Captain Arthur C. Newman as principal was first proposed by the Board of Education, that measure of control and correction which is expected of persons in authority. That is the gist of the report of First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson on the recent strike of students at Armstrong Technical High School. The Board of Education authorized him to conduct an investigation to determine whether or not any teacher was directly or indirectly connected with the strike. His report was, in effect, that no teacher took any positive action to incite the strike; but, on the other hand, the teachers did nothing to prevent it. Demands Action At the conclusion of the reading of the Wilkinson report at the meeting of the Board of Education Wednesday afternoon in the Franklin School, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett demanded that the board take some action. "I cannot conceive," he said, "of the sponsors of the Student Council, representing the Board of Education and having been put there for that purpose, acting in the way in which they did." The sponsors for the Students' Council are Charles M. Thomas and Miss Helen Crawford. Mr. Thomas did not know that Miss Crawford was serving as his assistant, Mr. Wilkinson stated. Neither one gave the Students' Council advice on the matters discussed at the several conferences leading up to the strike, he declared. Miss Crawford gave as her reason for not remaining in the meeting of the Students' Council on the morning of the strike, Mr. Wilkinson said, the fact that she had been in ill health, and Mr. Thomas' excuse was that he had to go back to his section to supervise them for assembly. Mr. Winkinson declared that these were no reasons whatever in is judgment. No "Goats" Ernest Greenwood, vice-president of the Board of Education, declared that he was not in favor of making the two sponsors of the Students' Council the "goats." Pressed for a recommendation, Mr. Wilkinson stated that he did not think Mr. Thomas and Miss Crawford should be permitted to continue to serve any longer as sponsors. Superintendent· Frank W. Ballou criticised the officers in charge for permitting the strike to happen without anybody exercising any supervision to prevent it. "There has not been any leadership in the Armstrong Technical High School," he declared. He then said that he had talked with Miss Orra D. Weaver, assistant prin- Deleware Continues Whipping Post Four Negroes Whipped Last Week Wilmington, Del., Feb. 13—Delaware has again demonstrated that its legal punishment code is a relic of the barbaric ages. The humiliation of the cat-o-hine tail was visited upon a group of colored men charged with larceny. This spectacle was in addition to a sentence to the workhouse for the recipients. The convicts were from Essex county and the whipping was administered publicly though but two of the benighted citizens of the state availed themselves of the entertainment afforded in the New Castle jail yard. Those punished were Emery Carey, sentenced to ten lashes and two years' imprisonment; James Carey, his brother; Denward Cannon and Milliard Henry, all sentenced to ten lashes and one year.

OFFICER FREED FOR DEATH OF MAN BROTHERS CHARGE ASSAULT BY COP The death of Roosevelt Cooper, 1516 Eighth Street, Northwest, was due to a fractured skull, yesterday's autopsy disclosed. Policeman George Davis, who was detained at the second precinct in connection with the case, has been exonerated by the Coroner's jury. Cooper's brothers, Eugene and Odem, said Davis struck their brother on the head Christmas night. The three brothers, with Arthur Page, were standing near Seventh and N Streets, Northwest, when some one shouted at Davis, who was passing, Eugene and Odem said. Davis came over and struck Cooper with his night stick, they said. Police said Page denies knowledge of the affair. Davis also denied the charge and pointed out that the alleged assault occurred only five minutes before he was required to report for duty. Cooper had been ill since Christmas, his brothers said. He collapsed while lifting a heavy, weight Sunday and died Monday at Garfield Hospital. Fisk Club Pledges to Raise 1,000 Dollars The Fisk Club of Washington, one of a dozen such organizations of Fisk University graduates scattered about the country, has pledged itself to raise a thousand dollars as its quota of $25,000 that these alumnae units are raising to help wipe out the existing debts of the University. The local group has a membership of about thirty members with Professor Charles H. Wesley of Howard University as its president and Sadie Daniels for secretary. J. L. Neill is the chairman of a committee that is sponsoring a concert to be given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on March 23, the program of which will contain a quartette rendition of the Fisk jubilee numbers and other features that will be announced later.

WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1926 OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. SENATE HELD HEARINGS ON LYNCHING BILL A hearing was held last Tuesday morning by a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching, which was introduced in the Senate December 8, last, by Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois. Those who testified before the subcommittee in favor of the McKinley antilynching bill were James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Rev. J. H. Brandon, associate pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill.; James L. Neill and Thomas R. R. Clarke, of Washington, D. C., representing the National Equal Rights League; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, former president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Edgar G. Brown, of New York, and Mrs. Marian D. Butler, of Washington, D. C. Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, was the acting chairman of the subcommittee. The other members were Senator Frederick H. Gillett, Republican, of Massachusetts and Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois. The hearing was sympathetic throughout. The hearing was In his testimony Mr. Johnson admitted that there was a decrease in the number of lynchings in the past years due to agitation and education on the subject. "Nevertheless, in the past year," he said, "an insane man was taken from the State Insane Asylum, chained to a tree and beaten to death at Milledgeville, Ga. Two human beings were burned alive in 1925, and another's body was burned after he had been lynched. As late as December 19, last, Lindsey Coleman, at Clarksdale, Mississippi, a few moments after a jury in the circuit court had acquitted him of a charge of murder, was seized by a mob, dragged from the court house and publicly murdered." He told the subcommittee of one instance where it was advertised in the newspapers that a Negro would be burned at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and people came from miles around to witness the orgy. The constitutionality of the bill, he declared, rests upon that section of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution which declares that "Nor shall any state deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." He stated that that section was adopted to meet such contingencies as the McKinley anti-lynching bill proposes to remedy. He declared that "lynching is not something else. It is murder plus revolution and anarchy. It is murder plus the overthrow and trampling under foot of orderly processes. But even if we demean lynching as murder. (Continued on Page 8) WOMAN SHOOTS HER RIVAL Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 18 (By the Associated Negro Press)—"The course of true love seldom runs smoothly." commented Judge Howard A. Davis Wednesday in Quarter Sessions Court. "The gay Lothario escapes and the woman pays." Mamie Archer "paid" to the extent of from thre and one-half to seven years in prison for having seriously wounded Anna Douglas, of 538 Clymer Street, in a quarrel over a lover. Percy Young, the lover, was described by Detective Anderson as "the bone of contention." Percy who was not present in court, according to the detectives, first paid attentions to Anna Douglas, then to Mamie Archer and finally began to pay attention to both at once. This precipitated the shooting. "You should have shot Percy instead." Judge Davis told Miss Archer PULLMAN PORTERS RESENT PALTRY WAGE INCREASE GRANTED BY COMPANY TRIBUNE REPRESENTATIVE VISITS N. Y. HEADQUARTERS The Managing Editor of the Washington Tribune visited the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in New York this week to ascertain the reactions of the porters to the recent increase. He found the Brotherhood offices greatly enlarged and a force of clerks and officials of the Union busily engaged in handling the business of the porters and maids. Four stenographers are required to keep the executives' desks clear of correspondence. Roy Lancaster, general secretary is in charge of as busy staff of trained office employees as one would care to meet. Work often extends well into the night, and since it is largely a labor of love, there is no complaint about over hours. There are a succession of callers from morning until well into the evening, most of them being Porters from distant points. The spectacle of orderly business is very different from the evident oppression noticeable at-Sunnyside, the only railway yard visited. In the Porters' rooms one finds copies of the Chicago Defender; Whip; the St. Louis Argus and other Race papers that responded to the Pullman company's desire to have propaganda in its interest, and inimical to the men distributed via big headlines on their pages. As in the Washington yards there are many copies of these papers handed out to the Porters without charge by representatives of the company. The Tribute is not included in this favored group at Sunnyside since it has not sponsored company propaganda. This paper is, however, to be found in the offices of the Brotherhood and on stands in the Harlem district patronized by the Porters. Contrary to the hopes and expectations of the Pullman Company, the Pullman Porters are more dissatisfied since the wage increase of 8 per cent granted through the Company's hand-picked wage conference than they were before they got it. They take the $5.4 a month of 18 cents a day increase as a slap in the face a definite insult. This is sharply emphasized by the fact that the working conditions have practically remained unchanged. The porters are still required to make 11,000 miles or nearly 400 hours in order to get the monthly wage and before they can get pay for overtime, which is paid at the rate of 60 cents a hundred miles or less than is paid for regular service. Randolph Goes to Coast Randolph goes to Coast in an effort to secure not only 51 per cent of the porters but 100 per cent. A Philip Randolph, General Organizer, and A. L. Totten, Field Organizer, are storming the West and far West in the interest of the Brotherhood. In St. Paul and Minneapolis the opposition has been completely routed. A series of meetings, all of which were packed and jammed met with a city-wide enthusiasm and interest. The showing in membership will go beyond 70_per cent. From St. Paul, Randolph and Totten go to Spokane and Seattle Washington, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, Kansas City, St. Louis, Mo., Detroit, Cleveland Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C. and back to New York. Addresses Law Frat The annual Lincoln-Douglass address was given at the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity by Attorney William H. Richards, professor of law at Howard University. His subject was "Law as a Forensic Art." There was a large number of the members present. Chief Justice Seabrooks, presided. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS CHURCHMEN ARE ACCUSED OF WHITE SLAVERY Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18—Federal agents Wednesday arrested nine members of the Holy Ecclesiastic Apostolic Church of America and held them for removal to New York. They are wanted for violations of the Mann "white slavery" act. Among those arrested was "Elder" W. Robinson, who calls himself the "Messiah," and is said to be the leader of the cult here. New York, N. Y., Feb. 18—Flfteen persons, nine men and six women, arrested on charges of "white slavery," pleaded not guilty Wednesday when invigilated in Federal court. They were charged with causing young women from New York and other cities to go to the home of the "Church of the Ever Living and the Never Dying" at Absecon, N. J. The women released on $500 bail each, but the nine men were remanded to jail to await trial in default of $5,000 bail. Indictments were returned by a Federal grand jury earlier in the week against 34 persons. The Department of Justice would give out no information concerning the activities of its agents in investigating the religious sect in several large cities, particularly New York and Chicago, known as the "Church of the Ever Living and the Never Dying," which, according to reports, maintains a "House of David" at Absecon N. J. It was learned, however, that the investigation was begun three years ago, but no important evidence was unearthed concerning the practices of this organization until recently. Mrs. Byrd Robinson Harris, a welfare worker in New York City, was largely responsible for the arrests. She worked with Federal agents. She visited the farm of the sect and alleges that a number of young women have been outraged in pretended religious rites. To Celebrate Birthday of Washington Plans have been perfected by the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of the District of Columbia, to celebrate Washington's birthday, Monday next with an "Oratorical Contest" at People's Congregational Church, M Street 'between Sixth and Seventh Streets, Northwest.

Gilmore, Junior Superintendent. PRICE 5 CENTS NAME SENT TO SENATE BY COOLIDGE President Cobbidge last Monday nominated James A. Cobb, an attorney, of 613 F Street, Northwest, to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia to succeed the late Judge Robt. H. Terrell. The Senate referred the nomination to the Judiciary Committee. The nomination of Attorney Cobb is the climax of a stubborn fight that has been waged for the place ever since the death of Judge Terrell principally between Mr. Cobb and R. R. Horner. There were possibly a half dozen or more other local candidates. Charges and recriminations delayed the appointment. The Department of Justice made two investigations into the suitability of the candidates. At the conclusion of the first, it was reported that the name of Mr. Horner was transmitted to the White House. Friends of Mr. Cobb appealed JAMES A. COBB to Senator William M. Butler, chair- man of the Republican National Com- mittee in his behalf. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., saw the President in person and urged the appointment of Mr. Cobb. The matter was returned to the Department of Justice for further investigation. Mr. Cobb prepared a detailed answer to the charges that had been preferred against him. As a result his nomination was sent to the Senate last Monday. Senate leaders expect to encounter but little difficulty in the confirmation of his nomination. His foes, who opposed his nomination, will probably drop their fight. The opposition to his confirmation, it is thought, will come from southern Senators who are opposed to the appointment of colored men to Government offices requiring confirmation by the Senate. Mr. Cobb was born in Areadia, Ia., January 26, 1876. He was educated at Straight University, New Orleans, La., and Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. In 1899 he graduated from the law school of Howard University. In 1901 he was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. November 11, 1907, he was appointed a special assistant United States attorney in the office of the district attorney for the District of Columbia where he served until August 15, 1915. In this position he handled pure food prosecutions and naturalization cases. In 1920 he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Chicago, Ill. He is professor of Negotiable instruments and constitutional law in the Howard University law school. The Municipal Court judgeship, to which he was appointed, pays a salary $5,200 a year. Neval Thomas Speaks at Brentwood, Md. Under the auspices of the North Brentwood Citizens' Association, Mr. Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. addressed the citizens of North Brentwood, Md. In his speech Mr. Thomas stressed civic pride. He commended the citizens upon the general interest manifested in civic welfare work in Brentwood. He also lauded them upon their success in governing themselves as a corporation, under a mayor and council from their own group. The program was supplanted by short addresses from the mayor, Mr. J. Hawkins, Mr. Cole, and Rev. Rand, pastor of the Brentwood A. M. E. Zion Church. There were also instrumental and vocal selections. This is the first of a series of programs that the Citizens' Association plans to launch in order to stir up greater interest in its work. | A PAGE FOR WOMEN In this day -when-so manyvare bread- {quantity of soft cream. cheese. winners and desire a dainty-lunch at|san with salt, pepper, mustard or the noon hour, a few-appetizing sand-lonnaise. __Spread between but wich receipts may be interesting to{slices of brown’ bread. my readers.

It is worth any child's time to spend as many moments with his or her teacher as possible. To be friendly with your teacher, to have conversations with your teacher, to become a real pal to your teacher is equally of as much value as is studying one's lessons, and receiving good marks for same. Personal, "pally" contact with your teacher gives you a bit of superior culture which you would otherwise be deprived of. Teachers are human. They are willing to become pals to you if you show them that you want them as such. When your editor was a school lady, teachers bore the aspect of being unapproachable gods. Not so now. The teachers of today are big brothers and sisters willing to be pals and companions to those who want their companionship, confidence, and encouragement. A Boston publication, the Advertiser, speaks of the present day teacher in the following complimentary terms: "The day of the unapproachable, irreproachable schoolmaster is fast passing. Teachers nowadays are very human sort of beings—real people. Boys and girls are not afraid to 'talk it over' with them. Teachers are kind and sagacious. Maybe right here is found a reason why our high schools are so crowded. No one hesitates to approach an instructor, and having done so, he is sure of receiving sympathetic, far-seeing advice on just what particular kind, and how much schooling his individual case appears to warrant." NATALIE INTRODUCES MRS. BES SIE BRENT MADISON TO THE PAGE Dear Editor: Just a few lines to let you know that I have not grogotten the "Children's Page." I am anxious for you to know of Mrs. Bessie Brent Madison. Mrs. Madison presented a program at the People's Seventh Day Adventist Church, Sunday, January 31. There were over twelve recitations on the program all of which were the compositions of Mrs. Madison. Miss Lillian Giles sang a hymn, "The Return of the Wanderer" which was composed by Mrs. Madison. I am very proud of Mrs. Madison, because we are of the same race. I know that you and the Tribunites like to learn of the good things that the race do, so I am telling you of Mrs. Madison. I will close now hoping that more members of the race will progress as this young lady has. NATALIE HARRIS (16) LINCOLN, A MAN OF FEW WORDS Dear Editor: Abraham Lincoln was a true American and a great lover of freedom. In 1858, Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved, I do not expect the house to fall, but I do expect it will cease to be divided." This became famous as the "house-divided-against-itself speech." In this speech Lincoln showed his great ability as a stateman. He showed that he was a man of few words and was not afraid to express what he wished to say, hence he expressed his anti-slavery views fearlessly. I think the "house-divided-against-itself-speech," is the best thing that the great emancipator said, because it kept the Union together and it led to the freedom of the Colored people."

CONTEST FOR BIRD HOUSES The Lions Club will conduct a bird house contest, open to any child in the District. The contest will come to an end, Wednesday, March 8. Those who can use nails, the saw, square and hammer should become interested in this contest. Watch for further particulars on this page. The bird houses are to be placed by the city, in its public parks and grounds. Prizes of both medals and cash will be given for the bird houses which are the most attractive, durable, practical, and of a rustic inconspicuous nature. There will be ten medals given, each accompanied by a cash prize; and twenty-five cash prizes without medals. The first prize will be a medal and ten dollars. The second prize, a medal and five dollars. Any boy or girl in Washington is eligible to the competition by announcing his or her intention to enter one or more bird houses. Address: Mr. Caleb O'Connor, chairman. Lions Club Bird-House Committee. 17th and Pennsylvania Ave.. Washington, D. C. "ALL THAT I AM OR EVER HOPE TO BE I OWE TO MY MOTHER." Dear Editor: Abraham Lincoln, who first saw the light February 12, 1809, was born in a little log cabin in Kentucky. Mrs. Lincoln had the entire care of the little home, but to the wonderful energy and brave cheerfulness of this woman Lincoln owed the incentive of his life. Because of the hardships and of the loving care of this determined woman Lincoln was prompted in later years to say, "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother." This quotation is the best thing that the Great Emancipator could have ever said. When a log schoolhouse was opened in the neighborhood, it was Mrs. Lincoln who wished to send her son to learn the alphabet. Lincoln's stepfather grumbled but the mother knowing that there was something instilled within her son, which in years to come would stand as a living monument had her way. Unhappily death came into the home of the Lincoln family and claimed as its victim the loved one of the home; Mrs. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln, knowing the need of one so dear as to be called mother, remarried. Due to poverty in the home, the elder Lincoln contended that the boy, then eleven years old, should discontinue his schooling to help shoulder the expenses of the home. "But the hand that rocks the crable is the hand that rules the world" and the new Mrs. Lincoln having within her (like Abe's own dear mother) that tender care and faithful instruction for her foster son, said, "No, the boy must be given an education." It was these words of encouragement that caused Abraham Lincoln to carry with him throughout his life these words: "All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my mother." BEULAH GAMBRELL. (11) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1926 TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. THE BELOVED EMANCIPATOR In Springfield, Illinois, June 1858, Lincoln made the famous statement, "I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free." It is one of the most forceful and comprehensive assertions the great emancipator ever made. At the time he made this declaration, the country was in a distracted condition. Lincoln gave the subject all the consideration he could before he made his speeches, and when he spoke, he showed his devotion to the Union, the Constitution, and to the people for which it stood. Although Lincoln resolved in his youth, to help the slaves, he had to confine his words and actions to the welfare of the nation and abide by the Constitution. Lineola listened to the pleadings and advice of the people and his cabinet, respected the Constitution, in spite of the sanction it gave to slavery, and turned to God for guidance. He tried to hold the free states and the slave states together and lessen the passion and menace between them despite the fact that he had said he believed that the government could not endure permanently half slave and half free. Notwithstanding the fact that he was against slavery he protected the slave states from the rash advances of the Abolitionists of the North in order to maintain peace, but when the crisis came, in no uncertain words, he issued the great Emancipation Proclamation. The great progress in education, refinement and wealth made by the colored people of the United States stands as a tribute to the great immortal Lincoln, and our continued endeavor to fight for all our rights under the Constitution must be continued if we are to prove ourselves worthy of the terrible sacrifice of life and property which resulted in the winning of our freedom. ETHEL NIXON (15) AN UNSIGNED LETTER Dear Editor: The following quotation is taken from Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural address: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right; let us finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds and care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his wisdom, and for his orphan, and to all who may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." The above quotation of Lincoln is to my mind the best thing he ever said or wrote, first because of the fact that these words of Lincoln portray his wonderful character. The first few lines especially show the unselfishness of the Great Emancipator and his love for humanity. If these words of the great president were practiced in the spirit they were expressed, there would be no race question, there would be no horrible lynchings in this country, neither would there be any segregation in America. This question of race is brought forth by Lincoln when he said, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right." —UNSIGNED A QUOTATION FROM A. LINCOLN Dear Editor: "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." I think this quotation by Lincoln is his best, because he expresses or brings out that to do the right thing makes a person mighty or strong. PRIDE OF RACE Always be proud of your race, and never do anything that will cause the race to be ashame of you. AIM HIGH!! SCIENCE KNOWS NO RACE. COLOR OR CREED Boys and girls of our Race have just observed Negro History Week, many of them for the first time receiving bits of worthwhile knowledge hitherto not known to them. Noteworthy news of today is of as much value as history of yesterday. Such news as given here relative to Dr. Turner is worthy of your interest. Dr. Thomas W. Turner, of Hampton Institute, formerly of Howard University, attended the 82nd annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which met this year at Kansas City, Missouri, in January. Dr. Turner read a paper before the Plant Physiology section of the Association on the effect of varying the nitrogen supply on the ratio of tops to roots in flax plants. This paper was the result of studies carried on in the biological laboratory at Hampton. Figures and lantern slides were given to show that flax, differing from other plants studied, is able to profit by applications of nitrates only up to a certain minimal limit and that fertilization with those salts above this limit is waste. Science is the field in which the Race is not at all sufficiently represented. Boys and girls would do well to let Professor Carver, Professor Just, and Dr. Turner be inspiration to them. BOY SCOUT TROOP, 502 OF ST. CYPRIAN'S CHURCH IS ACTIVE Eighteen Boys Receive Promotion The Boy Scouts of St. Cyprian's Parish, Troop 502, held a rally Wednesday week at which seven boys were invested as tenderfeet, ten were made second class scouts, and one was raised to first class scout. Despite the inclement weather a good number attended the rally and an attractive program was rendered. The rally opened with "Assembly"; prayer by Reverend W. L. Read, spiritual director of Troop 502, and singing of "America." The oath and laws and pledge were then recited by the boys. This was followed by an address by Reverend J. S. Martin of Troop 93 on "Living up to the Scout Law." Investiture of tenderfoot was given by Scout-Master of J. H. Brown of 502; second and first class ceremonies were conducted by Mr. Edgar Cavannaugh, assisted by Father Read. The investiture ceremonies were followed by the awarding of prizes won during the advancement contest. Scouts Vincent Garner and Vincent Brown were tied for first place, each receiving a complete scout uniform. The second prize of two dollars was won by Joseph Matthews; the third prize, Benjamin Smith. The boys who were promoted to second class scouts were : John Mack, Leroy Harley, Vincent Brown, Thomas Warren, Benjamin Smith, William Lancaster, Roscoe Christian, Wilber Greenfield, Howard Miles and Joseph Matthews. Vincent Garner enjoyed the distinction of being raised to first class scout. Notice Scout news must reach this office not later than Monday night so that it may appear in the current week's issue. USE MUSIC OF NEGRO COMPOSERS At Dunbar High School the following students took part in a musical program last week featuring Negro composers as a part of the celebration of Negro History Week: Leannora Madden, piano solos, "Bamboula" and "I'm Troubled in Mind" by Coleridge Taylor; Goldie Towles, "Lil Gal" by Rosamond Johnson; Landonia Lightfoot, an essay on "The Music of the Negro"; and the Dunbar Orchestra in "Bandana Sketches" by Clarence Cameron White.

LINCOLN'S SCHOOLING LINCOLN'S SCHOOLING Dear Editor: Today, February 12, is Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Lincoln was a poor boy, who wanted to learn, so he got the coal shovel and a piece of coal, and wrote his A, B, C's on the shovel. He had no school like we have. He had to study all by himself. He walked twenty miles to get a book. WM.LEXANDER (9) NEGRO HISTORY WEEK Dear Editor: Last week was national Negro History Week, and I was very interested in it. At school we went out into the hall every morning, where I learned a great number of things about our race. We had Mr. Woodson to come and speak to us on Wednesday morning. He is a historian. I think all the Colored people ought to be interested in last week. I did not know that the Colored people had the largest church in Washington. All the teachers were surprised when they heard that. MARGARET BLAND. A LITTLE BOOKWORM A LITTLE BOOKWORM Dear Editor: Please begin to publish lists of books like you did during the Christmas holidays.

PAGE TWELVE MILLION DOLLAR EFFORT OF THE PULLMAN CAR PORTERS And unimplemented services as well By Rienzi B. Lemus President, Brotherhoodof Dining-Car Employees The news is out of Chicago. Pullman porters and maids—around 12,000 receive wage increases aggregating a million dollars per annum. That is good news, even it could and shall be better. For it represents the power of organization in embryo. The employer grants the employee a cool million a year to discourage labor union organization to more reasonably protect himself and his. Employer had no such intention six months ago, as he gave approval to a public statement that porters did not need increases in pay. So if half the porters can get a million increase in six months, what could all of them do in twelve or twenty-four months? Possible achievement is obvious. And the cause of the recent increases shall be recorded as the "Pullman porter's million dollar effort." It costs the great, well managed, lucky Pullman Company one million to try and keep the porters down—that is what it pays the porters. What it paid for others' services none but "others" and the stockholders and directors may ever know. Pride justifies concealment. The ably directed corporation got about the "worse" propaganda possible by the worst propagandists ever. The snooping section was like the man forty years a detective who never had a "scent," not even when laying in a field of Jimson weeds on watch for the quarry which never was in that neighborhood. The Aframerican The Aframerican hustlerati waxed fat and swung a mean walking stick while the good thing lasted. It seemed actually as Aunt Lindy Watkins thought about Washington when preparing in Montgomery to join her daughter and son-in-law: "Yes, chile; Pse gwine to Wash'nton my chillum. Dat's whar dy makes de money. All yo has to do is go 'an ax fur it." The porters are great benefactors, even indirectly; for the hustlerati was on the limb when the great sentinel of sleeping America in transit began his typical liberty-loan drive to accomplish the statutory 51 per cent membership to qualify as a labor union in accordance with the provision of the Transportation Act and Labor Board rules. Even walking sticks were fit companions for lopsided cutaways, run down heels, greasy head coverings, runaway overcoats, threadbare neckties, parting collars and what once were gloves. By November the ragmuffin group was satorically on a parity with its fellow psychologists of the clergy and the law, who had come in to save the race, along with the editor, who it is alleged got a thousand rocks to put out an excellent antiorganization article and then "evaporated"; in consequence of whicho did his publication. The hustlerati surely worked on the juicy yellow cheese, as rats will. The Pullman Company has not seen the last of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car employees. It, however, must have decided to part company with the Afraamerican hustlerati. Some Increase! A million a year gives each employee an average or less than $7 per month. It is supposed to be an increase of 1 per cent. Not much, compared to plumbers, plumbers, locomotive engineers, bootleggers, but 10 per cent, near the goal of a "tipless" day. For Pullman porters, like diner car waiters, bellhops, taxi-drivers, evangelists, do not work on a basis of standard or "living" wages. Part compensation is by so-called gratuities: the "tipping" custom is about as much susceptible to eradication by statute as is whiskey by the Volstead Act. It shall go gradually only if and when those who render service on such basis organize and force wage increases until a "living" wage is achieved. The Pulman porters have come by ratios of increases around 140 per cent nearer to the goal than they were in 1918. (No statistics available on evangelists). Doubling Out Authentic detailed information with respect to rules, most important part of an agreement such as consummated by Pullman Company and Porters, has not reached here. Until and unless rules governing payment of "doubling" (going out when due to layover) are agreed to, only the surface has been scratched. Most people, not even the railroad mens' folks, do not know that the dining car cooks and waiters are employes of each and every railroad operating dining cars, while Pullman porters are in the service of a corporation which contracts to furnish sleeping and parlor car service to the railroads' patrons. Porters are not in the same employment nor do they render similar service. So it is to be hoped no dining car madam will get porters' increases confused and accuse the old boy of holding out. All fair-minded folks must, however, do their hats to the porters and congratulate them for their million dollar effort.

Negro Housing Conditions Bad in New York City New York, Feb. 17—Housing in the Negro sections of the city is an alarming menace to public health, Dr. Louis L Harris, Health Commissioner, said at a dinner in the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, closing the three-day convention of the National Urban League, a Negro organization. He cited that the infant mortality rate in Harlem is 163 for each 1,000, compared with 56 on the lower East Side. Three-fourths of the smallpox cases in New York, during the last ten years, he said, originated from Negroes who had come North. This attested public health conditions in the South and was not a criticism of the Negro. Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, consulting statistician for the Prudential Life Insurance Company, said that the mortality among Negroes has been considerably reduced, in comparison with whites, during the last thirty years, but it is now 18 for each 1,000, as compared with 12 among the whites. COSTUME MINUET FEATURE AT THE Y.W.C.A. Last Friday/evening, thirteen of the girl reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. presented a play entitled, "Ever Youth" in the auditorium to an audience of more than a hundred people. One of the most interesting features of the evening program was the presentation of the old fashioned minuet in costume. Thelma E. Lane, Dorothy Shade, Jannita Johnson, Dorothy Carter, Dessie Knox, "Gertrude King, Anna Hutchins, Martha Jackson, Esther Robinson and Viola Cousins participated in the picturesque number. Miss Ruth Weatherless played the piano accompaniment. The Bureau Club's Valentine Party on Sunday, February 14th was a pretty affair. Appropriate decorations and costumes were in evidence. Race Relations Sunday was fittingly observed. The program included remarks by the following: Mrs. Harriet B. Allen, Mr. Rubert Sancho, of China; Mr. M. Gownder, of South America; Mrs. C. C. Goodpasture Mme. Sukoda Bannerjee, of India; and Dr. Sarah Brown. Mrs. Prandes Boyce, presided. Coming Events Monday evening, February 22, there will be a concert given by the aesthetic dancing class under the direction of the instructor, Mrs. Nightengale. Our slate is now filled with data pertaining to the coming campaign beginning March 1. Our workers are already lined up and we are sure with your co-operation we will put the big program over. The Council of business and industrial girls serve their annual turkey dinner tonight, February 19, in the gymnasium which for the occasion has been charged into a beautifully decorated dining room. Metropolitan rules will prevail and reservations are being made in advance for table parties. The phone, North 191 has been kept busy recording requests for tables. The menu is the typical New England turkey dinner components long since made famous in tradition with some characteristic Southern dishes added. The girls, by virtue of donations have been able to set a very modest price upon the dinner; and of course the social concomitants have not been priced at all. Mrs. Mary E. Cabaniss is in charge of membership social. Thursday evening, February 25. An attractive and enjoyable program with special features have been planned. MUST— High Official Resigns Pine Bluff, Ark., Feb. 18- (By the Associated Negro Press)—Much whispering is being done here as a result of the resignation this week of United States Commissioner A. L. Burnett, perhaps the only Negro in America holding such a position. The newspapers stated that Burnett had resigned as a result of criticisms made because of his mishandling of cases, but there are others who make no secret of the fact that, since the prohibition law became effective, the work of Burnett's office increased to such an extent that there has been a steady pressure by whites to make him get out. Most of the dry law violators who came before him were white. He was made United States commissioner in 1895. It is understood that he is to continue in his practice of law. REPORT KIP RETURNS TO ALICE New York, Feb. 18—Reports published in various daily papers, based on the word of persons living in Harlem, have it that Leonard Rhinelander, husband of the former Alice Beatrice Jones, a colored girl of New Rochelle, has returned to his wife. Harlem residents spoke of seeing the two shopping together, and her mother was reported as refusing to deny that a reconciliation was being effected. Rhinelander recently lost a sensational effort to have his marriage annulled. He belongs to one of the richest and oldest families in New York state. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1926 NEGROES ARE NOT WANTED IN BRAZIL Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18 (By the Associated Negro Press)—American citizens of "color" seeking new outlets and opportunities for expansion and migration have been so persistently advised by a publicist of note to "Go to Brazil, the land of Freedom and Equality," that it is said many colored Americans have been making plans to settle in the republic of the south of us. Some difficulty, however, has always been interposed in the paths of those who attempted to make the trip. Either their passports have been delayed or discriminations in the matter of transportation have been inflicted upon them, while other similar deterrents have operated against their embarkation. An investigator, Dr. Virgil Cook of this city, seeking to learn the actual attitude of the Brazilian authorities, visited the office of Dr. A. DeLuca, vice-Consul of Brazil, in charge of the Chicago district, and asked the attitude of his country toward col- attitude of his country toward col- reported Dr. Cook," that Brazil does not want and will not permit United States Negroes to enter Brazil as immigrants who desire to locate there. He said there were so many Negroes in Brazil already that they did not care to have any more come into the country. Dr. DeLuca intimated that he would be willing to O.K. passports for 'well-to-do' Negro Americans who simply wanted to visit for a limited time, but that he would not vise a passport for any Negro who wanted to go there and remain." The Consul said there was a secret agreement in force as to a American Negroes entering his country. He refused to admit explicitly that the secret agreement was between the United States and Brazil, but left that inference." Tuskegee Bank Pays Dividends Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Feb. 17—By the Associated Negro Press)—The Tuskegee Institute Savings Bank declared dividends of five per cent at the annual stockholders and directors meeting here Friday afternoon. The directors also voted to pass five per cent for reserve increasing it to $6,250. This is the first time since the bank was chartered in 1919 that a dividend has been declared. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was re-elected president of the bank. Other officers re-elected are Warren Logan, vicepresident; C. H. Gibson, auditor; Robert Gover, cashier; W. W. Campbell, director. The bank has shown a steady and healthy growth since its establishment seven years ago. It is a regularly chartered institution and is under the supervision of the state banking department. It is capitalized at $25,000, and its assets amount to $124,595.50. According to Mr. Gover, cashier, the bank handles close to $750,000 a year. The deposits are those of students, teachers, and people of the community. Selected students in business courses are given practical training in banking methods in the Institute Bank. Dr. Emmett J.

Arrest White Men for Attacking Aged Woman Charlotte, N.C., Feb. 16 (By the Associated-Negro Press)—Oscar Martin and James Knott, white men, have been added to the large list of attackers of women in this region, a kind of crime which has been particularly prevalent during the last year. They have been arrested, charged with attacking Mrs. Mary J. Wright, a 64-year-old woman who, it is said, the men lured into the woods and assaulted. The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM For the Family tonight 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. O. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and the patient was suffering with a fractured shoulder in discussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in her job 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 bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her hair over that she had been using on her hair during the day. Her reply was that she had only been using the clitment 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 experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano placed a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Fine Tar, would produce a healthy luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been phenomenal and an uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that the hair can be made to simple infection (Sebum), and that the hair will remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow-for science has shown that under most bald scalps 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 trial to a reader on his website, will send his or her name and address to Dept. 61.

Phone North 667 Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 18 (Preston News Service)—Governor McLean last Wednesday night declined to extend clemency to 15 men convicted several months ago for storming the Buncombe County jail in a search for a Negro held there. The men all were sentenced to prison terms. "The sovereignty of all the people of the State was trampled under foot and insulted by the mob when it attempted to take the law into its own hands," asserted Mr. McLean in declining clemency which had been urged by more than 6,000 persons. The Governor said that the pardon commissioner had made a thorough investigation of the case. He expressed his sympathy for the families of the convicted men and added that any suffering which they might endure, he felt sure, would be alleviated by the citizens and welfare organizations of Asheville.

Says Negro Has Benefitted by Prohibition Dr. Hoffman took occasion to change a view held by him some years ago to the effect that the Negro problem would be solved by the death of the Negro race. He explained that although the Negro death rate is high now, 18 per 1,000 as against 12 per 1,000 for whites, for the period of 1866 to 1895, the rate was 30 per 1,000.

White Brothers orchestra furnished the music. The organization is an active and progressive one with very definite policies; but one that realizes that all work and no play is indeed dull. The affair was in charge of the following officers and committee: Officers: W. H. Westray, President; Royal S. Bailey, Vice-President; Lt. Leon M. Anderson, Recording Secretary; B. R. Johnson, Financial Secretary; Leroy W. Brazier, Treasurer; D. A. Shell, Sergeant-at-Arms; J. Vernon Stevenson, Organizer; E. W. Harrison, Chaplain. Trustees: Frank A. Blackburn, Chairman, J. A.

Santa Cruz 1st, men's prize; Mr. Washington, 2nd; Mr. M. Carpenter, 3rd. In the delightful three-course menu and general decorations the color scheme of red and white was beautifully carried out in keeping with the Valentine season. A most unique feature was observed in the ice-course as ice cream in heart shape molds decorated with the romantic figure of Cupid was a cold reminder of love's warmth. Later in the evening, dancing proved the chief diversion. Symposium Reception Gala Event The most brilliant reception of the season so far, was held at Murray Palace Casino, Tuesday, February Ninth, when the Symposium Whist Club was host at a Formal Anniversary Dance to three hundred or more of their friends. The exquisitely gowned ladies, the beautiful palms; shields and banners of the club's colors, gold and blace; added to the beauty of the hall. The uniform dress of the club members and the bracelets of gold and black braid with black rosettes and gold buttons worn by the ladies were praiseworthy features of the dance. All club members were tuxedos. The White Brothers furnished the music; each club member had his favorite selection on the dance program. At twelve o'clock, Miss Fannetta Burns and Mr. Aulden Garrison, entertained the guests with songs and dances, after which regular dancing was resumed until two a.m. Throughout the evening, punch was served. The Symposium Whist Club is composed of the following members and associate members: Messrs. Chas. H. Bailey, President; Wm. S. Edwards, Vice-President; Harry L. Moten, Secretary; Chas. H.

"The Saps" Charm in Formal Party The most brilliant assemblage of the younger set that Murray's Palace Casino has ever sheltered was, perhaps, on Friday evening, last, when the Saps of Washington were hosts to some 300 guests from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the National Capital. The costly decorations and handsome gowns and jewels of the ladies who moved about in the soft glow of colored lights to the tuneful and alluring music of Whites celebrated orchestra (which was hidden from view), all blended into a scene of rare beauty and enchantment. Here is found the most delightful cosmopolitan social life in the country. This season is essentially given over to exchanges of entertainment by the various groups, card parties being most prevalent, but the honors, go to the Saps for giving their friends a real party, and one not soon to be forgotten. The club could rightly boast of the prettiest and most popular girls of Washington, whose beauty and grace would assure the success of any joyful occasion.

Terrell as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. It is useless to pretend that the choice of Mr. Cobb will meet the unanimous approval of the citizens of the District even of our own group. It cannot be truthfully claimed, on the other hand, that any appointment would have been satisfactory to everybody concerned. While the Tribune had no candidate and refrained from any editorial comment during the long and unusually bitter contest that was waged over the position, we are informed by those in position to know that Mr. Cobb is a competent civil lawyer. He has had a large measure of success at the bar. There was a great deal of opposition to his appointment based largely upon the claim that the local Republican organization was ignored in the appointment. It must be remembered, however, that it was this same local organization that ignored the people of the District of Columbia when it selected Mr. Cobb as a delegate to the Republican National Convention, without any sort of election. We trust that they will be game enough to swallow the same dose that they thrust down other people's threats. There is an old and homely saying: "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." NEGRO HISTORY WEEK Last Week was Negro History Week. Considering its newness, its observance was gratifyingly widespread throughout the country. The observance was proposed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, with headquarters in this city. The race needs equal rights leagues, and civic leagues and congresses and associations of many kinds to advance us and protect us, but none are needed more or have actually accomplished more, or deserve better of the race, than this organization. It would be difficult to imagine anything more stimulating to the young people of the race than to encourage them to participate in activities such as a history week devoted to uncovering and reiterating and evaluating the achievements of individuals and of nations of people of color. IN THE SUNLIGHT Grown up folks as well as the children could profitably read the article on the Children's Page concerning the recent creditable achievement of Professor Thomas W. Turner of Hampton Institute (late of Howard University) at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This is the leading—one might say, the all-inclusive—scientific society in America, numbering several thousand members, including a few persons of color. The recognition and honor accorded to Professor Turner on this occasion, and we believe to Professor E. E. Just on other occasions, indicates that this organization lives and moves in the bright sunlight of reason and accomplishment far above the fogs and miasmatic mists of color prejudice. Don't fail to read the article on page eleven under the heading "Aim High." There has be ing and import in these columns There has been some inquiry as to the meaning and import of the word "brisbanalities" used in these columns recently. If you are interested, but not fully satisfied with what was said, we suggest that you look up the word "banality" in your dictionary. Then read and ponder the following sample from Arthur Brisbane's "Today" column in the Hearst papers one day this week. He says: Miss Anita Whitney earnest but mistaken young woman, demands repeal of the act that in certain States forbids marriage between whites and blacks. The Poet Heine exclaimed, "Oh liberty, thou wicked dream," when he heard of an American clergyman, tarred, feathered and ridden on a rail because he wanted to marry his white daughter to a black man. Like Miss Whitney, Heine was mistaken. The right kind of colored people want to marry colored people. The right kind of white people want to marry white people. Laws against mixed marriages protect the colored women, according to scientists, who tell you that the larger head of a mulatto baby makes birth very dangerous for the black mother. Now everything that A. B. writes is not as banal as this. In certain lines he is well worth the price. But when he essays to dabble in science or gives out pronouncements on any matter touching his delusion—Nordic superiority—especially when mixes the two things, he "sees things" that are not in the heavens above, nor in the earth beneath, nor in the waters under the earth. As for the mothers who persist in bearing the pains and taking the risks involved as he says in giving birth to those ever-multiplying, big-headed "mulatto" babies, all we can say is—as "Jay Bee" would say in Frivolity—"stew bad."

A BRISBANALITY A recent news item in a local paper says: A recent news item in a local paper says. Senator Royal S. Copeland, yesterday, introduced a bill providing a fine of $250 and six months' imprisonment for persons pretending to 'remove spells, sell charms for protection, or to unite the separated' in the District. The anti-psychic bill, which is a composite of the New York and Massachusetts laws regulating fortune tellers, particularly assails "fake mediums" and "love potions." The bill was referred to the District Committee. Now we are all inclined to put out a hand to assist or to protect or to warn any person who is physically blind, or otherwise more or less helpless. Hence it may be argued that the mentally blind or defective need protection—legal as well as advisory. With the latter proposition we agree, and yet we doubt the propriety, not to mention the practicality, of the bill. The fact is, that, however well-intentioned may be the effort to protect people from the effects of their own follies, by law, history teaches that the results show a continually lessening proportion of good with a continually increasing amount of curtailment of liberty in other respects and an ever-increasing tendency toward bigotry and oppression, until at last even those who deplore the evils it is sought to correct join in with the general public to repeal or ignore or defy the oppressive laws and regulations. The rising opposition to the sumptuary prohibition craze is a case in present point. Then again, if we are to drastically punish the fortune-tellers who fleece the ignorant (more often the perverse), how about the multitude of frauds, fakers and pretenders in the various other professions? It is well-known to those who are sufficiently intelligent that our leading professions are honeycombed with trickery, misrepresentation and pretense, so much so that one can almost generalize to the extent of saying that the more honored and revered is a profession as a profession the greater the proportion of ill gotten gain by exploitation, wheedling and deception. However, the fortune-tellers have got to go—into other trickery; for their technique is not suited to these times. They make the mistake of promising something objective and tangible to be obtained or experienced or accomplished here and now. Their failures are too obvious. Not so—or not so much so—with those who promise inward, or subjective, changes of mind, will or unseen organs—or promise something for the future. It is not so easy to check up on these; so they will continue to thrive, and be protected by law, until the general intelligence catches up with them. The fortune-teller is not more wicked, he is merely less subtle, less sophisticated, more out of date. The irony of the matter is that the assault on the clairvoyants should be led by a "doctor"—a member (and judging by his advice in his syndicated stuff in the daily papers, not a particularly brilliant member) of a profession that is just emerging from the dismal swamps of superstition, incantation, and empiricism. The money that the fortune-tellers fleece from those more ignorant than themselves is a mere bagatelle compared to the enormous cullings of the "healers" in Dr. Copeland's own profession. It is only a century, and a half ago since Benjamin Franklin said: "There is a good deal of difference between a good physician and a poor physician, but not much difference between a good physician and no physician." To be sure the profession—or least some persons in it—have advanced far beyond that now. But it is very doubtful if legal enactments—that is, those aimed at suppression—have had any good effect. The people know more and require more, and more and more they recognize and reward the worthy. Nevertheless, the various schools and cults and sects of healers, physical and spiritual, have actually multiplied and show little signs of being overtaken by the common intelligence, for a generation at least. All of these healers, and "doctors" of this and the other, are of course not conscious frauds. Many of them actually believe in themselves and their ministrations. So no doubt does the Indian medicine man, and the long range weather prophet, and the fortune-teller, as well as others who purport to know what is to happen to us in the future. What is most needed to protect people against their own ignorance is enlightenment and liberty. All other processes are merely substituting oppression for folly, or one sort of delusion and consequent exploitation for another. Referring to a recent local high school commencement address, a school paper says of it: "A Well-balanced Life was the theme of Dr. S——s splendid address, in which he pointed out that to be of the greatest service to the world, we must know ourselves, know others and know God." On the other hand Tennyson said: In other words, we can hardly expect ever to fully or completely "know God," or even to know ourselves; and the only way we can hope to approach to such knowledge is by knowing and understanding that which He has made and made cognizable to our senses. Such knowledge and understanding can be obtained only through ordered learning—which is science. He approaches nearest to the Creator who has delved most deeply into His creation. Twaddle, punk and pretense will not bring us any nearer to a knowledge of ourselves, of our surroundings, or of anything else worth while; nor will these substitutes for knowledge yield us any additional capacity for service. Yet twaddlers, pretenders and pedlers of punk seem to have the call when it comes to imposing "addresses," especially commencement addresses, on the young. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1926 LET THERE BE LIGHT "Flower in the crannied wall I pluck you out of the crannies. What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and upon you are. My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON The late William H. Donaldson founder and publisher of The Billboard, once had the occasion to pass upon a bit of copy bearing upon the Negro. In a memo, attached to the manuscript when returned to the editor involved, there were these words: "What the Negro needs is one to sell the Negro to the Negro. When this is done, then watch his smoke." This bit of comment was amplified in a later discussion. This incident occurred two years since. Last week there came into the Tribune office a youngster who could hardly look over the counter. He was apparently a typical street urchin. A bit of chat with him disclosed that he was a clear minded eleven years old pupil of Lovejoy School who had Negro History week so impressed upon his mind that during the talk he made use of the phrase "I'm somebody," as he talked about his father who had been in the World War and an uncle who had seen service in Cuba. This youngster epitomized the results of the schools adopting and carrying out to the fullest possible extent the program of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and just about establishes Carter G. Woodson and Garnet Wilkinson as the sort of salesman that Mr. Donaldson had in mind; for, to make the Negro realize that he "is somebody" is to destroy the inferiority complex that has been the heaviest chain of our bondage. A Judge has been named; and Ye Gods, what a howl has gone up from the Republican Machine of the District. Can't you hear that distressed yow yow. It has been as long a continuous crescendo as that of a lonely dog on a stillly, ghost-invoking night. There is a deathly ring in the howling. They of the things political say that Mr. Coolidge has ignored the gang. Well, what of it? Hasn't the gang ignored the public—those same citizens who are presumed to provide the votes at primaries? See, if we recall, it was when Harding was nominated that the District delegates to the National Republican Convention were selected by that same bunch of political genii, one of them being that same Mr. Cobb. Well then, if mere politicians may assemble in a private room and name delegates, surely the President may sit in his perfectly good White House and name office holders. Now, why the howl? Things have an uncanny way of coming back to plague us. It was that same place on the delegation that vested Mr. Cobb with the propersemblance of political availability. We have had a remarkable demonstration of the egotism of some of our people in an early morning interview with a caller at the Tribune office. A neat little man of middle age entered and introduced himself by presenting a neatly written three-page explanation as to his qualifications for a certain public school position to which it seems he had not been appointed. While the carefully edited and mechanically perfect manuscript no doubt was intended to be an argument for his fitness to the place involved, his approach, his arrogant manner, his lack of consideration for the viewpoint of others, and his narrow views as to a newspaper's function together with his expression of the opinion that COLORED papers were always purchaseable, disclosed ample reason for not placing him in any position requiring executive ability, discretion or exercising of authority over any but puerile minds, for such persons are an offense to intelligence. Imagine seeking the help of the press and at the same time belittling its character. Imagine being egotistic enough to assume an air of patronage toward that which may be helpful in soothing one's wounded vanity, if not perhaps saving one's reputation and, IMAGINE the Tribune being subject to pursehase. Father told me once that the term FOOL indicates human raw material. It may be educated, polished, cultured or what not, but it remains a FOOL. The quality or style of fool may be changed, but it remains basically fool, right on. Wherever separate schools prevail, the colored pupils are supplied with the cast off books and equipment of white schools. It is even so in Washington to some extent. That's one of the basic ideas behind segregation—that white folks' cast off logically should go to Negroes. While not reconciled to that, yet we accept it rather than that our children should be denied an education. But it's time to rebel when the kids come from school with new(?) books for the term from which the notes, billet doux and pictures of white boys and girls have not been removed. Aren't the authorities afraid that some of those little snap shots of pretty white girls might get into the hands of a susceptible colored boy with nerve enough to drop a note? Of course, the idea of sanitation does not count. All of which brings up the story of the good white minister in Connecticut who announced unctuously one Sunday morning: "Now brother and sisters we have here, to use this morning for the first time, our new individual communion set. You know how hard I have worked for it and prayed that God would open the minds of the congregation to see how unsanitary and dangerous was that old set which obliged us to pass the cup from one mouth to another and to have everyone put his hand into the pile on the plate to secure his own piece of bread. "However, the old set was a fine one in its time, and cost considerable money. It seems a pity to throw it away; so I have thought to recommend to the trustees that we loan it to some worthy colored congregation." A Woman's Point of View THE NEGRO MUST SET HIS GOAL AND CHANGE HIS INDIVIDUALISTIC AND SEPA TIVE NATURE All of the races of the world which have made valuable and lasting contributions to civilization have devoted their energies and lives to the development of three fundamental and powerful factors. First: They have had racial objective—a well defined, lofty ideal, all-inclusive and divorced from every shred of individual selfishness. Secondly: They have subdued their separative nature and developed their co-operative nature. It is absolutely impossible for a race to make enduring or continuous group progress or to attain unto a high degree of civilization, unless it has a genius for cooperating. Thirdly: They have organized their minds. They have had fixed purposes. A race's mental market must be stable. A race with a mercurial temperament and transient impulses cannot make real progress until it overcomes those weaknesses. The Negro race as a group has not stated its definite objective. Its group mind is not organized. It is not solidly and unswervingly behind any common task or lofty ideal for which it will say a race and in one voice, and back it up by united action: "Give me this ideal or give me death." No race has won a place in the sum that hasn't been ready to live for its inalienable rights and just as ready to die for them if the occasion required. "Give me liberty or give me death," was not the voice of Patrick Henry, it was the voice of the American people—the born and the unborn. When Patrick Henry spoke the die was cast and the struggle to achieve an Anglo-Saxon ideal and to preserve it has been relentless and continuous. Liberty for all became a fixed purpose in all. Every member of the race knows what each and all are working for—their objective. A group that is satisfied to allow individuals here and there in the group to do the battling for its common good and even to make the supreme sacrifice for it, without being willing and ready to put all of its powers and machinery behind those leaders and their common objective, will never attain a place of power among other groups, nor will that group develop a leadership that will endure. A race does not BY WELLINGTON ADAMS R. D. CARELTON DORSEY COMMENTS ON TALLEY-MUSE RECITAL Last Tuesday evening the Misses Josophine V. Muse, lyric soprano, Sonoma C. Talley, pinniste, and Dr. Eva B. Dykes, accompanist, gave a recital for the benefit of scholarship fund of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression. Miss Muse's offerings were: Care Selve (Handel), Meine Ruh isht him (Graben-Hoffman) Fruhlingslied (Coenen), Songs My Mother Taught Me (Dvorak), Dedication, Serenade (Strauss), One Golden Day (Foster), Linsana Parola fr. Aida (Verdi). Her voice is well placed, stage presence delightful and pleasing; numbers well chosen to bring out the qualities of her voice. In the upper register her tones are clear, her middle register is full and resonant and her soto voice lovely. Her best work was in L'insana Parola by Verdi where her tone colors interpretations gripped her audience. Dr. Eva B. Dykes accompanying was sympathetic and inspiring always, subordinating yet giving the quality of tone in supporting the artist. Miss Sonoma C. Talley is a fine pianist. Her tone and technique are superb. Her audience was well pleased in "Deep River" by Coleridge-Taylor. She gave a fine interpretation painting with tones which will be remembered by those who heard her. Some very fine playing was done in Liszt's "Polonaise in E Major" and in her MacDowell suite the numbers were well done, as in the "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor" by Bach-Liszt. Full program as follows: "(a) Prelude and Fugue in G Minor (Bach-Liszt); (b) Shadow Dance, From the Depths, Polanaise in E Minor by MacDowell. (a) Waltz, Deep River, Bamboula by Coleridge-Taylor; (b) Polonaise in E Major (Liszt). As an encore number she played Chopin's "Valse in D" with a graceful motion of rhythm. HARRY T. BURLEIGH'S SON TO HEAD PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC (The Washington Post, Wed. Feb. 17)—A director of music for colored schools will be named by Mr. Wilkinson following deciliation of the position by Nathaniel Dett, colored composer and director at Hampton Institute. The position, it is said, will be given Alston Burleigh, son of Harry T. Burleigh, New York composer, who spoke to colored teachers during celebrating of "Negro History Week" on the part played by the Negro in development of American music. NEGRO COMPOSER SECURES NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL SONG Chicago—Through the Educational Music Bureau, of this city, Hermes Zimmerman, Negro composer, has succeeded in securing national distribution for his march song "America First and Forever." This is the inspiring number that has made such a hit with the school supervisors of Chicago and Evanston that it as been translated into eight languages for use in the public schools by non-English speaking citizens. It will be particularly beneficial in public night schools where immigrants are receiving free instructions in the get its place and rating through the achievements of individuals alone. However praiseworthy and spectacular those achievements are they are segmentary and almost worthless unless they become leaven for the whole lump. The mass must move upward and forward. Do you like Pilgrim's Progress? Bunyan's story of Pilgrim is heroic in deed and perfect in diction but it is wokely lacking in its social outlook. It is too individualistic for the accomplishment of the high purpose for which the story was written. It was good for a day of individualism but not for this day of ideal socialism-brotherhood. It is only a segment because it is the story of one long man who got there himself but carried no one along with him, made no road, built no bridge, left no sign for those who were to follow. Pilgrim is not my ideal. The old man who traveled a lone highway is my ideal. Let me tell you the story of my hero's progress and contribution. It was good for a day of individualism but not for this day of ideal socialism—brotherhood. It is only a segment because it is the story of one long man who got there himself but survived it one along with him. It is getting the hat among other races to get a collection to pay for his inalienable rights when group solidarity alone would get them. Group solidarity is worth more to a race than all the hat collections in the world. "An old man travelling a lone highway Came at the evening cold and gray to a chasm deep and wide, The old man crossed in the twilight dim The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side and built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow traveler near, "why waste your time in building here? Your journey will end with the ending day You never again will pass this way; You have crossed the chasm deep and wide, why build a bridge at eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head, "Good friend, on the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today, A youth whose feet must pass this way. This stream which was as naught to me, to that fair youth may a pitfall be; He too will cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building this bridge for him." This is the social ideal for individuals and for races. A race of lone pilgrims fighting their individual bat- fundamentals of Americanism. Musical critics declare that "America First and Forever" is one of the best national march songs of recent years, marking the highest musical achievement of young Zimmerman, who also composed "The Chief Corner Stone," a song of Ethiopia, "I want to be Ready," and a seminette song, "Keep on Stepping Along." ROBESON TRIUMPS IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., Feb. 17 (By the Associated Negro Press) — Lovers of music in Chicago who had known Paul Robeson as football player, barrister, and actor, were introduced to him here Wednesday night in Orchestra Hall as a baritone singer of Negro music. So utterly surprised were they and the critics that a specimen of "Robesonia" has developed in the wake of his concert and the city is at his feet. Edward Moore, musical critic for the Chicago Tribune, who is known for his habit of holding Negro artists to "strict accountability," writes: "It was undoubtedly the mellowest, gentiest, most appealing voice of the year, that of Paul Robeson's at Orchestra Hall last night." And Dr. Glenn Dillard Gunn, in the Herald-Examiner, commented: "I have just heard the finest of all Negro voices and one of the most beautiful in the world, and those few but fortunate ones who were present last night in Orchestra Hall when Paul Robeson made his first Chicago appearance will testify that I do not exaggerate." WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY MUSIC NOTES Miss Grace Edwards and Mrs. Anna M. Terry, of the School of Music, presented a few of their piano students before a very appreciative audience, in the auditorium of Galloway Hall. Selections were from Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt and modern composers. Since the installation of the new Wurlitzer pipe organ, Norton E. Dennis, director of music, has created quite a hit of interest in organ playing. At a recent studio recital, he played the following program: Prelude and Fugue in D, Bach; Sorie, Guilmant; Where Dusk Gathers Deep, Stebbins; Song of India, Rimsky-Korsakoff. The undergraduate members of Xi Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, entertained at the local chapter house, Saturday, February 6th, in honor of the Alpha Phi Alpha men in the Senior Class. After spending an enjoyable evening, the guests were served a delicious luncheon. All left expressing themselves as spending a very pleasant evening. Julius Bledoe, haritone, was heard in recital at the Pythian Temple, New Orleans, La., Tuesday night. The house was crowded and immensely enthusiastic. Mr. Bledoe received exceptional notices from the musical critics in the daily newspapers. The Spelman College Students, Atlanta, Ga., broadcast a program of Negro Spirituals, from WSB, Atlanta, Thursday evening, February 11. The leaders were Ernestine Morrow, Jessie Heath, Essie Heath, Helen Haygood and Margaret Johnson. ties or glorying in their individual achievements without any interest in others who are bound for the celestial city, is too individualistic to function effectively. No race has ever gained a place in the sun until it made the high resolve to work together—to to travel together toward a common objective. The supreme need of the Negro race is the mind to achieve and to grow as a group. No leader of this day is of value to the race unless he can stimulate and foster that high and unselfish purpose in the entire group. Where is the Negro going? Has he a goal or is he just coming "along with" this white gemmum"? The real leaders of the Negro group of this day must define our purposes and so fire our souls with the determination to attain them that we will willingly pay the price for our own ticket to where we want to go. The Negro must stop passing the hat among other races to get a collection to pay for his inadmissible rights when group solidarity alone would get them. Group solidarity is worth more to a race than all the hat collections in the world. The tragedy is that the Negro race has an individualistic and separative instead of co-operative nature. That nature can be and must be changed. Our leaders and teachers in home, church, and school are not stressing, in an effective way, the intrinsic worth for these three fundamental ideas. The chief trouble with us is that we are antagonistic to or separative on group tasks and are satisfied with individual achievement whether we contribute anything to that achievement or not. We praise Booker T. Washington in death but forget him in 1856. ington in death but brought him in life. Let us see for a moment why certain individual Negroes have arrived. First they had objectives. The race must have them. Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington had objectives. They organized their minds and put themselves solidly behind their tasks. They did not try to express their hopes and dreams through the voice of another race. They spoke for themselves. Dunbar has his place in the sun because he had a worth while objective, organized his mind and got behind his task. But shall the race be satisfied to produce a few samples only? Whether we believe it or not, the Negro race is without influential national leadership because it does not seem that in this fourteen million people we have a mind or a united group of minds that can interpret, definitely and clearly the ideals, hopes and dreams of the entire group in such a way as to wake the whole group up and inspire it to tackle its task and work together. Letters to Editor To the Editor, Washington Tribune: Since a constant part of a teacher's work is giving credit where it is due, I cannot refrain from expressing my admiration at the liberal space devoted by the Tribune to exactly the material available for class-room work during Negro History Week. I can recall an occasion when I was a third grade child, when a visitor spoke to our class on Negro achievements, and I distinctly remember the impression it made. Bearing this in mind, many years ago I called on a former assistant superintendent in charge of Negro schools and urged that he take steps toward introducing the study of Negro history, arguing that the basis of the finest Negro student morale lies in an appreciation of Negro historical background, with a corresponding high degree of evaluation of the Negroes' God-given place in the general scheme of creation. It however calls for a degree of courage to take a stand in such a matter, involving as it does the disproving of countless false statements that for decades have been accepted as the truth. The truth of this was forcibly demonstrated by the very able and thoroughly prepared speakers at Dunbar High School during Negro History Week. By the same token it follows that countless creditable facts concerning our people can only be known by reading systematically those papers published by Negroes. When school students of all ages are brought to the point where they will take delight in scanning Negro publications in search of items, in which they can take race pride, then a large part of the work of motivating class room work will have been done. The average adult whose work lies outside of the class room would scarcely credit an account of the keen pleasure evinced by even young children when informed that the commonly accepted statement that the cargo of slaves landed here around 1619 were the sole ancestors of the Negro population of this country, is, as Prof. Wesley termed it "a myth," and that for years prior to that time persons of African descent were living here as American citizens with practically all that the term implies. Again congratulating the Tribune for its vision and initiative in supplying a "long felt want," I am. Yours very sincerely. EWDARD M. SYPHAX. Miss Gertrude Didgeway of Philadelphia, who spent the weekend the house guest of Miss Edith B. Pinn, 1814-1837 Street N. W., left for home Sunday evening. Miss Ridgway was the recipient of much social attention during her first visit to the Capital of the Nation, taking with her many pleasant memories. MANY CHURCH MEMBERS SICK JOHN WESLEY A. M. E. ZION Last Sunday the A. M. E. Zion pastors exchanged pulpits at 10:45 a.m. and the pastor of Metropolitan Wesley Church, Southwest filled the pulpit at John Wesley and preached an inspiring sermon from the 4th Chapter and 12th verse of Acts. Dr. W. W. Matthews of Philadelphia, Pa., secretary of Foreign Mission was present and assisted in the service. Dr. H. T. Medford, the pastor returned from Arlington, Va., where he filled the pulpit at Lomach Chapel, and at 7:45 p. m. he preached from the subject "The Heavenly Race." A most able and interesting sermon was heard at that time. The following sick members have been reported: Mrs. Martha Waters, 1921 13th Street, Northwest. Mrs. Mahale Dorsey, 938 L Street, Northwest; Mrs. Hilda McAllister, 605 56th Street, Northeast; Mrs. Mammie Harrison, 2142 L Street, Northwest and Mrs. Thelma Tulani, 223 S Street, Northwest. Special comment was made upon the increased number of "Honor Roll" contributors for January, as was shown in the monthly report distributed last Sunday. Dr. Medford will fill the pulpit at both services next Sunday. The Teachers Training Class on each Thursday, from 8 to 8:45 p. m. grows in interest and number. Our Pastor Dr. Medford is the efficient instructor. Church and Sunday School LITERARY ENTERAINMENT FOR STRANGERS AT FIFTEENTH ST. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH A musical and literary entertainment under the auspices of the Strangers Committee will take place at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church under direction of pastors Dr. F. J. Grinke, Dr. H. B. Taylor, Friday evening, February 26th 1926 at eight o'clock. Local talent will be presented. REV. NORMAN A. DUCKETTE TO SING MILITARY MASS FOR BOY SCOUTS AT ST. CYPIAN'S. Rev. Norman A. Duckette, newly ordained Colored Priest, will be celebrated at the Annual Military Mass of the Colored Boy Scouts of Washington, to be held at St. Cyprian's Church on Washington's birthday at 8:30 a.m. Rev. Daniel Rice of Good Shepherd Church, will preach the sermon. All Catholic Boy Scouts of the District are urged to assemble at the hall at 8:30 o'clock and march in a body to the church, with the flags of their respective Troops. After the Mass, a light breakfast will be served in the hall and the rest of the day given up to a basketball elimination contest among the various Troops of the city, both Catholic and Protestant, the winner receiving a prize. AT LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE CHURCH At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "A Militant Christianity." Christianity like all other worthwhile things in the World will stand if it is able to hold its own. It will never win the World by merely claiming a name.

Feb. 18—March 9th is the birthday of the late Mrs. Booker T. Washington, a woman whose entire life was dedicated to service to her race and to her fellowmen. "In appreciation for this life and for the work that she has done as a leader, as president of the National Association of Colored Women, I earnestly suggest that we observe this day, her birthday, as a fit time for the holding of memorial services all over the country among the club life of our Negro women. In the passing of Margaret Murray Washington, a great and noble leader has left us. No tribute is too great to give her, no honor too high to bestow. We hope that the affiliated clubs all over the country will meet to remember her on the day of her birth—March 9th" is an announcement sent out by the president of the N. A. C. W.

Several students are planning to attend. Mr. Arthur Gould, assistant superintendent of city schools in Los Angeles, Calif., and in charge of twenty-two high schools, visited classes in Dunhar on Wednesday, February 17. Keenly interested in all information open to our students later in life, he made the plans of Dunbar graduates, particularly the opportunities afforded Commercial graduates in the business world, the subject of special inquiry. A silver loving cup was presented to Company B, when with a percentage of 90.5, it won the third Annual Squad Competition on Monday, February 15. Sergent Milton Bland commanded the squad. Each member of the successful unit, including the sergeant in command, and the company officers, were decorated with a blue badge. Company E, under the command of Sergent Carl Beckwith, took place with a percentage of 87.2. White badges were the prizes. "Des Deaux-Lourds" by Jules Molnaux has been chosen by the French Club for its spring play. That interest in German has reviewed is evidenced by the enrollment of thirty students in a class in German 1, the first since June, 1925. "The Cooperation of Teachers in improving the Instruction in Science" was the subject discussed by Mr. N. E. Weatherhead, head of the department of science, at the regular monthly meeting of the Science Department on Wednesday, February 15. A new departure in tube set building is seen in the use of glass as the two bases of an immaculate superheterodyne set, now being constructed by W. F. S. Scott, "radiotridan," a student in physics. For the first time in twenty years, a course in analytic geometry is offered to the seniors of this high school. Fifteen seniors have enrolled. The aim of the course is to prepare students for specialization in mathematics, physics, architecture or engineering. One hundred ninety students in Botany marks the peak of enrollment in that department. The officers of the battalion commanded by Cades Major Stanton Wermley presented a sater drill. The judges were Major West Hamilton, and Lt. A. J. Thomas. The slogan, "Be Upright in Mind and Body" appears on a large poster displayed in Dunbar's lobby, and on smaller placards placed in all rooms of the school. The Commercial Art Department is responsible for this display. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y.W.C.A. CAMPAIGN 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 skincare, M. P. O. Burton of 1837 Christian Street, South Philadelphia, Pa., found herself almost bald. Her hair had fallen out in handballs and it was so short she could not fit it up in any style. She got no results whatever. Finally, she gave up the thought of ever being able to get anything to give results when she discovered that her hair had stopped falling out and was gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself) and kept her hair in place for six weeks. Mrs. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought at any drug store, and that she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Note: Mrs. Burton has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she has amazing gifts! It's free! Just send stamped envelope to Mrs. P. O. Burton. 1297 Christian Street.

PAGE SIX CHICK SUGGS WINS BANTAM FIGHT EASILY New York, February 16—Chick Suggs, New Bedford bantamweight, easily defeated Jackie Nicholas of St. Paul in the main bout of ten rounds at the Broadway Arena in Brooklyn last night. The tall and wiry New England, proclaimed from the ring as a second George Dixon and hailed as a leading contender for the bantamweight title, landed freely with both hands throughout the bout. A capacity crowd of 3,000 persons saw the contest. Suggs weighed 121 and Nichols 123⁴ pounds. Suggs came out for the first round, danced across to his opponent and landed the first of a shower of rights and left that continued until the end of the bout. Nichols made no return, but clinched and tried ineffectually to block his opponent. The second round was another session of punching for Suggs and covering up for Nichols. Not until the third round did Nichols land a punch. He came from his corner, took a wild swing at Suggs and again went into his shell. Suggs Continues Good Work Suggs continues good work. Suggs continued to pile up a long lead in the fifth and sixth rounds with only an occasional feeble attempt from Nichols in retaliation. The greatest offensive measures of the Westerner was to grasp his lighter opponent anywhere and howay to wrestle him across the ring. Although Suggs smiled at these tactics, he was rather futile in his efforts also. The crowd yelled and stamped for action, and some began to leave at this time. The seventh and eighth rounds saw Nichols make an attempt at offensive measures when he landed several rights. Suggs continued to pepper Nichols's face with jabs and had him bleeding slightly. Nichols appeared tired, but seemed in no serious danger at this or any other time. Nichols made an attempt at a whirlwind finish in the ninth and tenth rounds, tearing in furiously and punching heavily. He opened a cut over Sugg's eye in the tenth and ripped rights and lefts to the head and body. Suggs weathered the storm and knocked Nichols down toward the close of the tenth round. Nichols took no count, but was up again only to meet a shower of punches which continued until the end of the bout. Martin Defeats Hall A fife left hand with which he alternately jabbed and hooked won the semi-final bout for Andy Martin, Boston bantamweight. He hit Benny Hall so accurately and frequently with the left in the early rounds of the fight that the St. Louisan was badly cut about the mouth and bleeding from the nose. Martin weighed 123 and Hall 120. Black Bill of Cuba easily won the first ten-round bout, which was also the first bout on the program, out-speeding Benny Tell of Brooklyn. Black Bill's bouncing tactics were much in evidence and he outscooped his opponent with light tapping blows in most of the rounds. In the eighth, however, Bill showed that he could land heavily on occasion when he knocked Tell down for the count of eight. Tell claimed a foul on the blow, which was a heavy thump to the pit of the stomach. The claim of foul was not allowed, and Black Bill bounced and tapped his way through the other two rounds, never being in danger. Tell weighed 113 pounds and Bill 110%. Referee Joe Brnstein was the third man in the ring, Judges Shortell and Hahn officiating. Virginia Seminary Downs Union Univ. Virginia Seminary Downs Union Univ. Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 17—Going into the second half with the score 17-11 against them, the Dragons opened up up with a burst of speed. Well timed passes and shots from difficult angles somewhat upset the hectic Union skyscrapers. When the timer's whistle stopped the struggle the Dragons were leading by one point. 29-28. Union jumped in lead as the game started, and half-time found the Dragons trailing by six points. In the second half Reid started a rally with a shot from mid-floor. Perry and Brown followed with a double decker each. Union again took lead when Ballard caged a hard one. From then on the game was in doubt, first one team and then the other would forge ahead. With only thirty seconds to play and Union leading by one point, Bumble Brown put the game on ice with a neat overhead shot. Brown, the Union forward, took first honors with 10 points. Bates, the diminutive Germantown flash, got second honors with 9 points. The line-up: Seminary Union Bates R.F. Ballard Reid L.F. Brown Whedbee Center Gardner Perry R.G. J. C. Jackson Brown R.G. W.

If the athletic authorities at Howard from being affiliated with schools doing plish this end through this organization schools represented at the meeting last varsity teams, and Howard will have that was had in the Colored Inter-college We are firmly convinced that there is no necessity for the proposed organization, a conference on which was held at Howard University last Saturday. In the first place, the proposed organization is "jim-crow" in character. No school is barred from membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which is the governing body for scholastic sports in the United States. Its membership is restricted to no group or groups. It makes the rules for the conduct of all branches of intercollegiate sports. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association is a conference member of that organization. Every colored institution of any standing should be a member of that organization. No Difference If the proposed organization should materialize, there will be no essential difference between it and the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, which is composed of Virginia Union, North Carolina A. T., Virginia Normal, Hampton, St. Paul, Shaw, Johnson C. Smith and Virginia Seminary. Its constitution and by-laws provide for the admission of schools all over the United States, although its officers have not been energetic in enlarging its membership. Its purposes are identical with the purposes which the constitution committee proposed last Saturday, having been taken from the constitution of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. No Advantage to Howard In the event that the proposed organization should be established, Howard will not overcome the handicaps which have resulted from its withdrawal from the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. B. T. Harvey, athletic director of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, president of the Eastern Board of Football Officials, who seem to have a better grasp of the purposes which the proposed organization would serve, would provide for conference membership and secondary school membership as well. If the athletic authorities at Howard proposed the organization to keep from being affiliated with schools doing secondary work, they will not accomplish this end through this organization, because every one of the other schools represented at the meeting last Saturday play "prep" men on their varsity teams, and Howard will have the same trouble in this organization that was had in the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association.

We do not favor, however with its membership restricted to purposes that the National Collegiate governing body for scholastic sports in because such an organization will be a It would be more to the advantage of Howard University to adjust its differences with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. It has taken years to build up the Howard-Lincoln annual Thanksgiving Day game. Lincoln has indicated its intention of resuming athletic relations with members of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. If Lincoln does, athletic relations will be severed with Howard University. That is just a part of the price that Howard will pay for remaining out of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. In addition there will be the heavy expense of transporting football teams from great distances. There will be the problem of securing competition in basketball, track and baseball. And if Howard can engage in competition with semi-pro clubs and high school teams in these sports, as is being done, it can certainly afford to be a member of an association having schools doing secondary work belonging to it. We favor strong conference or sectional organizations. We favor a general organization composed of representatives of these conferences to handle problems that are peculiar to schools having colored pupils only. We favor conference and school membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. We do not favor, however, the establishment of an organization with its membership restricted to colored schools, having the identical purposes that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has—a general governing body for scholastic sports including the making of rules of play—because such an organization will be a farce. HOWARD QUINT DEFEATS WEST VIRGINIA FIVE The Howard University quintet defeated the West Virginia five last Saturday afternoon at the Lincoln Colonnade by a score of 42 to 20. The game was rather listless until Coach Burr sent in his second-string men near the close of the game. Their efforts aroused enthusiasm among the Howard followers, and the Howard lead continued to rise until the game ended. Howard Howard W. Va. Coates R.F. Sinclain Berry L.F.

Manchester Defeats Shiloh Baptist Quint The Manchester Big Five defeated the Shiloh Baptist Church team by a score of 21 to 17 in the Y. M. C. A. League. "Sunny" Hawkins, Holland and Jones were the stars for the winners. Jimmie Lee did most of the work for the losers. The Manchesters have some hard games scheduled. They meet the Community Yellow Jackets Friday night, February 19, and the Howard University Freshmen Saturday, February 20. The meting of representatives of several schools at Howard University last Saturday, adjourned without taking any definite action toward the organization of a national collegiate athletic association composed solely of colored schools. Speech Making Speech Making The session ran until late in the afternoon. From 9 o'clock in the morning to 1:30 at noon, the time was devoted to speech-making, the principal speakers being J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University; Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University. Fifteen minutes before ecessor for luncheon was taken, Louis L. Watson, athletic director at Howard University, stated that he had appointed B. T. Harvey, athletic director at Morehouse College; Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, athletic director at the Dunbar High School; Edgar Westmorland, of Armstrong Technical High School, and John H. Burr, basketball coach at Howrad University as a committee to work out plans for an organization. A committee consisting of them and A. Elder of the North Carolina College for Negroes and F. A. Parker of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, with T. L. Puryear, president of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, serving in an advisory capacity, was appointed to draft a constitution and by laws. Eat and. Work The committee ate and worked. At the conclusion of the luncheon, it made an unwritten report recommending very largely the adoption of the constitution and by-laws of the National Collegiate Athletic Association with minor changes in some instances for the government of the proposed organization. The purpose of the organization was easily disposed of. When it came to a name, the organization went into a long discussion, and finally it was decided to let it remain unnamed until it had been determined whether or not secondary schools would be admitted to membership. The committee proposed that schools doing collegiate work and secondary schools be admitted to membership. This evoked the statement from Mr. Watson that invitations had been extended for the purpose of forming an association of schools of collegiate grade and that he did not think the invitations should have been accepted for any other purpose. Finally it was decided to recommit the whole matter of constitution and by-laws to the committee. Schools Represented Schools Represented There were but seven schools actually represented. They were Howard University, by Dr. E. P. Davis, Dean D. O. W. Holmes, Emory B. Smith, Louis L. Watson, John E. Codwell, Theodore George, Louis L. Watson, and John H. Burr; Morehouse College, by B. T. Harvey; West Virginia College Institute, by Frederick A. Parker and R. B. Hamblin; Atlanta University, Laurence R. Harper; Knoxville College, by B. B. Evang; Livingstone College, by Rufus E. Clement, and North Carolina College for Negroes, by R. L. McDougal and A. Elder. By Proxy Two schools were represented by proxy, making it nine schools represented. The schools represented by proxy were Wilberforce and Fisk Universities. The proxy holders for Wilberforce were the Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and William A. J. Joiner, of Washington. The Fisk proxy-holder was James L. Neill, also of Washington. During the session when the discussion of the verbal report of the committee on constitution and by-laws was under way, McDougal proposed to bar newspapermere. He stated that at North Carolina College for Negroes, they were in the habit of giving out statements of what they desired to be published and not having newspapermere write their own reports. His proposal met with a re-buff. Mr. Puryear declined to state whether or not he would recommend that the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, become a member of the proposed organization.

Champions Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 17—Sensational basket work by Traylor, coupled with the fierce guarding of Archer and Captain Bailey spelled disaster for the Hampton Institute five, champions of the C. I. A. A. Wednesday, February 10 as the Maroon five galloped home to a 25-23 victory. Sustaining the dazzling pace set in the recent Clark game, Traylor again ran wild with a fusillate of short shots from every outlandish angle, scoring a total of 15 points. Captain Bailey was another highlight in the Morehouse victory ranking second in scoring with 5 points and unleashing some uncommonly obdurate guarding. The guarding of Archer was so tenacious that he was ejected from the brawn on excessive fouls early in the second half. M. Sykes, all-American guard, playing first as forward time and again thrilled the spectators with his sensational dribbling and clever passing. After the removal of Archer from the game, he was shifted to his old position at guard and showed his old-time form, blocking the every effort of the Hampton forwards to shoot. E. E. Brown, speedy Hampton forward, was the only invader who managed to circumvent the ferocious Maroon Tigers. He led his team with seven points. The opening period was red hot, with a hectic struggle for the upper place. The Lightning five had the upper hand all the time except twice, once when the Seasiders had a one-point lead for a few seconds and again when Hampton tied the score. Morehouse was leading 13-11 at the end of the first half. The Hampton five came back strong in the closing act, and the going was exceedingly rough at times. Numerous fouls were called on both teams. Hampton fought steadfastly until the timekeeper's whistle called to an end the glorious event, but were unable to overtake the lead established by the Maroon quintet.

Armstrong Noses Out Community The Armstrong Tech quint, Scholastic champions of 1925 visited the "Y" court on Thursday, February 11, and barely nosed out a 36-3 victory over the Community Yellowjackets. On this occasion which was the second time Armstrong has beaten Community, Henderson captain and center of the victors, was the entire thick of every scrimmage Henderson Orange and Blue works. Always in the proved himself the able "Tamer of the Yellowjackets." He alone scored over half of his team's points, being responsible for 9 field goals and one foul. At the end of the best game offered the public this season, the Community Coach was forced to admit Armstrong's ability to win over his team in a series. Both games of this series, however, were well fought and cleanly played.

Picture Units Fails to Agree The Baltimore Colored Operators have declined to merge their organization as a subsidiary of the local of the I. A. T. S. E.

KING SAUL The story of whose eventful career as first King of Israel, is given in the Bible, 1st Samuel, 8th to 31st Chapters. His election as King ended the rule of the Judges under which the children had lived many years, Samuel the last of the Judges was displaced and Saul chosen King. 'To be like other nations' was the Israelites' expressed reason for demanding a King. The Lord permitted them to have a King. He had a stormy career, and signally failed. The whole of Israel's first experience under a king's rule is dramatically brought out in the great cantata entitled 'Saul, King of Israel' to be presented in brilliant costumes by 75 voices at Lincoln Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday nights, March 3rd and 4th. SCENES IN NATURAL COLORS FEATURE OF "STAGE STRUCK One of the most gorgeous bits of natural color photography ever seen on the screen appears in Gloria Swanson's latest Paramount picture, "Stage Struck," an Allan Dwan production, which will be the feature at the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday. In the story, written for Miss Swanson by Frank R. Adams, the star has the role of a poor little waitress who dreams she becomes a great actress. And the color sequence is the dream. The set itself, a banquet half, is magnificent. Enormous gold pillars stand against a background of purple, the whole centre of the line of pillars being held by a velvet curtain, bearing a crown in gold. In front of the pillars are three tables, covered with crimson and gold, and the horde of court ladies, and gentlemen who surround the star are dressed in crimson, gold and purple. The floor of the set is black highly polished, with a great colored medallion in the center. Miss Swanson wears a golden dress with a gorgeous tiara resting on her blonde wig. Wears Gorgeous Gowns Miss Swanson's "Carmen" costume is marvelous. It consists of a full Spanish skirt, hand-painted with flowers and with embroidery around the painted designs. She wears a golden shawl, with flowers and leaves appliqued on, and a high, red Spanish comb, from which is draped a mantilla of rare old lace. It will be shown Sunday, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. REPUBLIC THEATER Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, February 21, 22, 23—Lon Chaney in "The Black Bird." This picture is a successor to "The Unholly Three" and is as big and great as it in every way. Renee Adorce of "Big Parade" fame is also in the picture. Lon Chaney has done it again! He is the most brilliant character actor on the screen and this picture the public has been waiting for. Laid against the background of the mysterious Limehouse—the colorful underworld of London—"The Black Bird" is surely a romantic thriller. To give away too much of the plot would take the enjoyment from the picture, but it is suffice to say, that Chaney in a dual role, and making lightning changes before the audience, makes one of the greatest pictures ever made. Also "Adventures of Mizie." Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 24, 25, 26—"Dance Madness" a Metro-Goldwyn picture, directed by Robert Z. Leonard with Claire Windsor and Conrad Nagel. With peppy scenes of Paris night life, madcap adventure and a surprise solution, "Dance Madness" is a good screen entertainment. Republic You Street, n Show Starts EVEN W. E. L. SANFORD, Mgr.

The position is permanent. We have a well equipped department, and a nice class of students. There is time and facilities for research.

CHI DELTA MU FRATERNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE There are four factors essential to the maintenance of good health. First an abundance of fresh air, second an exposure to sunlight, third exercise in which most of the muscles of the body are given some action, fourth and last a fair amount of pure food. Three fourths of the diseases of the human family can be traced to the inadequate supply of these factors. Three of which can be had at absolutely no pecuniary consideration whatever, and the fourth very cheaply if judiciously selected. Fresh air is indispensable to the human body. Every individual has experienced the ill effects of impure air, at some time. A deficiency in the oxygen content of the air, or the contamination of the air by impure gases, such as, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, are a menace to health. The sunlight contains certain rays which exercise a stimulating effect upon all of the cells in the body. The replacement of old cells, which are continually undergoing degeneration, by new ones are greatly facilitated by the presence of these rays. The proper exercise of the parts of the body in their physiological capacity is second only in importance to that of food. An arm or leg made inactive for several months will decrease in size and if left inactive long enough will lose the power of motion. A large number of weakened conditions and obscure pains can be easily corrected by intelligent exercise. Food has always presented a problem of grave import. An improper quality or quantity of food is directly or indirectly responsible for the greatest of all man's ills. The psychologist will tell you that an individual's disposition is influenced by the quality of food that he eats. The physician will inform you that the diet of an individual is responsible directly or indirectly for almost all diseases known. Avail yourself of those forces that nature has placed at your disposal. Dispense with the unnecessary use of drugs. Breath deeply of the pure air that can be yours for the having. Bathe in sunlight. Get the proper exercise. Walk, play golf, tennis, croquet; keep active and incidently, keep well. Eat a mixed diet. A reasonable amount of meat, plenty of vegetables and do not attempt to make a meal on candy, cakes, or other sweets. When you feel that you have enough, stop. Do not try to eat two meals in one. By observing these simple rules you can keep healthy and live your full four score and ten years. A CORRECTION In mentioning the names of those present at the beautiful "500" party given by Mrs. Beatrice Martin Adams at her home, 1838 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, the following names were inadvertently omitted by the reporter: Mesdames P. Price, Ellis, F. Morton, B. Mitchell, Pogue, Henrietta Burwell, Mary Mundy, Rubin West and Miss Helen Moore. This correction is made in justice to the hostess who left nothing undone to make the affair one of the most pleasant of the season and to the guests who aided Mrs. Adams in carrying out her plans for a pleasant evening. A Baby In Your Home for many married couples years for children that thousands of copies of a paper book by Dr. H. Will Kiders are being distributed without use in children' s education. An adult interested in overcoming conditions of nature that hinder the gift of children should write for this free book if described in another book most based on the use of Sterilona, a wonderful scientific ionic that has had magnificous success all over the country in relieving constitutional problems. Every woman who wants to live a normal, happy home life with little ones around her needs a doctor. She is a Storthorn is and why it should be so wonderful an aid to her. Read this little book which is written without intention to mention the caroller. It unfolds facts that most women never have had explained to them. Send NO Money, NO Obstacles. Simply name and ad- dress. No money. Older kids 1881 Ballinger Md. Storthorn, Mo. Continued from page (1) we are still confronted with the fact that it is a form of murder that the states have shown themselves unable to deal with. There is not a state that fails to cope more or less adequately with murder. But murder committed by a mob presents a question which the states have not been able to deal with, and that is why we are here asking for the passage of a measure of this kind." Mrs. Mary Church Terrell told of the lynching of a woman in Georgia several years ago. The woman, Mrs. Terrell told the subcommittee, was about to become a mother and in the lynching her unborn baby was torn from her. Mr. Clarke put considerable stress upon the fact that colored people in the South are denied their political and civil rights. "The reason I am here," he said, "is because colored people, especially in the South, are not in position to protect themselves because they have been stripped of every civil and political right guaranteed them in the great reconstruction acts." Dual citizenship—state and Federal—Mr. Clarke said, was conferred in order that the Federal-Government might protect the Negro whenever his life, liberty or property was invaded, and "it is under that dual citizenship that the Government has the right to protect him in the enjoyment of his life, his liberty and his property." The McKinley antilynching bill is in all respects similar to the bill introduced in the House by Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri. It provides that if any state or subdivision of a state fails, neglects or refuses to protect the life of any person within its jurisdiction against a mob, it shall be deemed to have denied such person the equal protection of the laws of the state. Any state or municipal officer having a prisoner in his custody, who fails to make all appropriate effort to prevent such person from being injured or put to death by mob violence, or any state or municipal officer charged with the duty of apprehending any person participating in a mob who fails to make all appropriate effort to perform his duty shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding $5,000, or both. The bill also makes it a felony for any state or municipal officer to conspire with any person to suffer a prisoner to be taken from his custody for the purpose of being injured or put to death by a mob. Those who conspire with him are also guilty of a felony. Punishment would be life imprisonment or not less than five years. Any county in which a person is put to death by mob violence would forfeit $10,000 to the family of the person put to death. There is but little difference between the McKinley antilynching bill and the Dyer antilynching bill, which passed the House in December, 1922, but was killed in the Senate by a Democratic filibuster led by Senator Underwood of Alabama. Under the rules of the Senate, a cloture rule may be adopted upon a two-thirds majority vote whenever 16 Senators signify their desire to bring debate to a close by signing a petition. Senator McKinley hopes for the passage of this bill by the adoption of a cloture rule. E. C. BROWN'S HOME SOLD The beautiful home of E. C. Brown of Philadelphia, former banker, who sold for $50,000.

DELANTIS MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga. AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write For Particulars THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1926 Supt. Wilkinson's Report Cites Teachers Supt. Wilkinson's Report Cites Teachers Continued from page (1) cipal of the Armstrong Technical High School. "Her alibi," he said, "that she expected the principal to act." H. Barrett Learned declared that there should be a further report, exonerating those teachers who could be. "I think it would be difficult," Dr. Ballou replied, "to exonerate any portion of the faculty and say that they discharged their responsibility fully." The report of Mr. Wilkinson was received with the understanding that he would later submit recommendations for action to be taken with respect to those teachers who were indirectly responsible, as shown by the report, for the strike. Hines Appointed George W. Hines, associated professor in the school of liberal arts of Howard University, was appointed head of the department of business practice in the Dunbar High School, succeeding G. David Houston, who was recently promoted to principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to succeed Captain Arthur C. Newman, demoted to the rank of military instructor. Superintendent Ballou submitted a report on the use of the Wilson Normal School for the purpose of holding meetings to secure a covenant among property owners on both sides of Kenyon Street, between Eleventh and Fourteenth Streets, Northwest, to prevent its sale or rental, to, or occupancy or use by colored persons. This matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Education at its previous meeting by Charles H. Houston, chairman of the executive committee of the Washington Bar Association. In his report, Dr. Ballou said: "This meeting was arranged for by the principal of the Hubbard School through the secretary of the community Center located at the Wilson Normal School. I have no reason to believe that the principal of the Hubbard School knew the purpose of the meeting any more than that a certain group of parents associated with that school desired to come together for the purpose of discussing matters of interest to the school. The secretary of the community center at the Wilson Normal School was not informed of the purpose of the meeting. "Immediately after the first meeting held in this building the proceedings at the meeting were reported to this office. It was also reported that a second meeting had been called. "The secretary of the community center was informed that in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the community centers a meeting of this character could not be held under the auspices of this department. The citizens concerned were informed of this decision and no further meetings were held." Through Edward F. Harris, the Southern Dairies offered to donate a silver loving cup to the winning team in the annual competitive high school drill of the schools in divisions 10 to 13. They also offered three medals, one of gold, one of silver and one of bronze to be given to the commanding officers. The cup would be known as the Colonel Charles Young trophy. It would be a permanent rotating trophy, awarded each year to the winning cadet company to remain at the school which the winning company represented. This offer was referred by the Board of Education to the school officials. It is likely that it will be accepted. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL INVITES PUBLIC TO SPEND HOLIDAY AT LINCOLN HEIGHTS The National Training School of which Miss Nannie Burroughs is president is broadcasting an invitation to the public to spend Washington's Birthday, Monday, with the school faculty and students at Lincoln Heights, D. C. A full day's program has been arranged for, t obe presented as "An Appreciation Day" according to the information made public. The general theme of the day's activities is "The Negro and his friends." These activities are divided into three parts. The first section being between 11 a.m. and noon after which an hour and a half luncheon period will permit the service of a lunch dedicated to George Washington. The Domestic Science department has this feature in charge. Another program will be offered from 2 p.m. until 3. Dinner will be served from 4 to 5:30 with students' frolic to follow. The final program of the day will be offered at 8 p.m. The participants of these different programs are not being named. The element of surprise is thus maintained. One is however, advised to "Bring your appetites with you." Knights of Pythians Elect Officers The Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, held the election of officers on Saturday night and elected Major Charles H. Neal as Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment, and Captain J. F. Sneed as Major of the first battalion. The election of major for the second battalion and other officers was deferred until a later date. Plans are being discussed for a general reunion of the entire personnel of the regiment. The Department of Maryland has invited the companies to participate in a prize drill in Baltimore, March 3, and extensive preparation by the Knights of the District have been made to capture the prize. Major Sneed wishes to thank all who assisted in his elevation to the major of the first battalion and is planning to make his administration a banner year in the uniform rank.

A Revue is the result obtained 2 the correct compounding of a number of show shop elements. There must be |scenery, costumes, comedy, “dancing, vocal and instrumental music, Dudley’ has mixed these ingredients in an ex- cellent manner. First: It is the finest costumed col- ‘ored show that has ever’been sent on tour. There are sixteen song num- bers, and just that many changes of |choras costumes, each more attractive than, ity’ predecessor. Two sets, the fan number, and the crazy patch effect used in the finales, will excite the most blase to expressions of admiration. The fist arrests respect for its very, ar tistry; and the latter, because of its Kalidescopic cubistie ‘pictaresqueness. It's a knockout, as Broadway would say, “Lonnie” Fisher Shines Lonnie Fisher has the comedy lead; and if his Bumble bee-Ford car line of chatter don’t knock ‘em cold, it will be because they don’t know how to laugh, snicker, grin or yell. That fel- low is funny, and he is assisted by a second comedian who words up situa- tions well. The two do a card game bit that is another of the many laugh provoking spots in the piece. The show has hoofing a plenty. A trio of fast pedal workers close the opening number with some stuff that promises well, and Inter developments show deliveries. made as per promise. “Stompy” Watson, Cash and Smith can certainly dance. The chorus is an assorted group of chonies of, exactly twelve, different types ranging from the real cute bit of end girl to the willowy bit of grace at the other end of the line with plumps, statuesques, ete. so that every taste in pulchritrude is catered to successfully; and, those girls ean sing. Likewise they ena, dpnce with grace, precision and pep, and look as if they find pleasure in so doing.

Colored Actors Union Open to New York Chorus Girls... Arcot te ee ‘As a result-of show shifts and com- petitive bidding for their services by the different cabarets of the East.and especially"those in New York and ad- jacent territory, the colored choristers may form a little working organiza? tion of their own. There are-several girls who believe that.an organization operated similar to the Chorus Girls’ body of Equity may bring them benefits. Few of the girls have any Joud squawks to make against cabaret managements, but some have been ac- cused of contract jumping, “double crossing” and whatnot and that by having a contractural form under the proposed organization rules that would prevail everything would be bet- ter for girls and managers. Tt appears there is an unusual de- mand right now for colored cabaret performers. ) There are satisfactory reports from abroad such as Paris and London. or Constantinople of favor- able working conditions. ex e foregoing is from Variety, a New! York theatrical paper, and may simply be the lead out on some. one’s effort to form an organization. If the girls want protection they have but to join the Colored Actors Union in sufficient numbers'to. warrant haying a special deputy appginted to look af- toe theie tatereaha: 2.
