STATE DEPT. DENIES HOOD STORY Seek to Oust Engineer at Vets Hospital Howard's Appropriation Flayed in House STUDENTS PAY MORE IS CHARGE BITTER FIGHT LOOMING OVER CONFIRMATION OF LAWYER JAMES A. COBB NEW SCANDAL BREWING AT HOSPITAL FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5. No. 39 More than $4,000,000 in illegal appropriations have been given to Howard University out of the Federal treasury, it was declared in a minority report on the Crampton bill to authorize annual appropriations to be submitted to the House by the Committee on Education last Friday. The report is signed by Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, and Millard E. Tydings, of Maryland. They are Democrats. The report says: "In the founding of Howard University, 150 acres of land was purchased at a cost of $1,000 per acre. In 1873 and thereabouts 'much of this land was sold at four times its cost.' In the same year the Freedmen's Bureau gave the school $500,000, so that within seven years of its inception the school had funds from two single sources of well over half a million dollars. "Just what was done with this fund the catalogue does not recount, but 'by 1875 the university was $100,000 in debt.' But expenses were cut, private contributions were received, and in 1879 Congress came in to relieve the situation." From 1879 to 1925 inclusive a grand total of $4,159,815.50 was appropriated out of the Federal Treasury to Howard University. "The report "All these appropriations," the report says, "have been illegal. The introduction of the present bill is an admission of that fact, and such ruling has too often been made in the Congress to require that this proposition be discussed. Not only is it without statutory foundation but it is contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter, of the Constitution. There is no legal ground on which te support of a private institution by Government funds can be justified; and there is no constitutional ground on which the federalizing of an institution for the benefit of a class of persons who are citizens of the United States and in no sense the peculiar wards of the Government can be defended. "If we have the right to appropriate to Howard University, we have an equal right to appropriate to George Washington University. Howard is under a self-perpetuating board that does not report to the Government in any way nor to any other authority, it (Continued on page 4) LOCAL FIRM SETS SALES RECORD months operation, Auto Exchange, lo- Streets, Northwest, has become one of the few such places in Washington under the management of race men.

Cobb be confirmed by the United States Senate? This is now the all absorbing question in Washington wherever men gather. There are many (mostly Cobb supporters) who say that he will be confirmed without a fight; while others are doubtful and some are sure he will not be. Although Attorney Cobb got the nomination for the vacancy on the Municipal bench it can only be by extremely careful manouvering that he can possibly be confirmed without creating a breach in the Republican ranks in Washington as well as Massachusetts. Many protests have gone up over President Coolidge's totally ignoring the Central Committee of the District of Columbia Republican organization. This organization supported R. D. Horner. In fact the local committee had branded Mr. Cobb as a recalcitrant because, they claim, he refused to abide by the vote of the organization. They claim that after the regular organization had endorsed Mr. Horner, Mr. Cobb could have given up his fight. However, instead of doing this, Mr. Cobb, with the aid of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, proceeded to carry his fight to the states where he obtained all of his support. Senator Butler It so happens that William H. Lewis of Boston, is a warm personal friend of Attorney Cobb's. It also happens that William Butler, senior Senator from Massachusetts and Chairman of the Republican National Committee and personal advisor of President Coolidge, must come up for election this fall. Mr. Butler will be opposed by former Senator David I. Walsh Democrat. It is very doubtful whether Mr. Butler can defeat Mr. Walsh, who is very popular in the Bay State. Not being an orator, Mr. Butler is a poor campaigner; not being a statesman, he has made no record at all in the Senate. Realizing Mr. Butler's (Continued on Page 8) History Author and School Principal Visit Dunbar Dunbar classes in Mathematics were visited on Wednesday by Professor Raleigh Schorling, one of the collaborators of Schorling and Clarke's series of books on Mathematics. Among other visitors in the building were Mr. Arthur T. Long, principal of the New Lincoln School of Trenton, N.J., Messrs. M. Nolcox and Grubbs, principals of elementary schools in Indianapolis, Ind. LONG SENTENCE GIVEN FOR MURDER William ("Buck") Terry, well known in sport and fraternal circles of Harlem, was sentenced to from six to fifteen years in Sing Sing on Friday, February 19, for the shooting and fatal injury of Sam Taylor in an altercation on October 24. Taylor died in the Harlem Hospital shortly after the shooting. Terry pleaded guilty of manslaughter in General Sessions before Judge Morris Koenig, and asked mercy of the court on the plea that he was intoxicated at the time of the quarrel and shooting. Both the murdered man and Terry were prominent members of Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W. Taylor who was native of Alexandria, was brought home for burial by his family. MINISTERS DENOUNCE PREJUDICE At the monthly meeting of the City Interdenominational Ministers Alliance at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Monday of this week, Rev. H. T. Medford called attention to the press reports, that Negro members are to be segregated in the Birmingham (Ala.) City Auditorium in the meeting of the International Council of Religious Education, which meets there April of this year. A committee was appointed to voice the protest of the ministers, and the following was dispatched to Dr. H. S. McGill, Chicago, Ill., general secretary of the International Council: The Letter February 26, 1926 Dr. Hugh S. McGill General Official, Interdenominational Council Religious Education 5 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: The Interdenominational Ministers Alliance, Washington (D.C.) and vicinity in session today goes on record as being unreservedly opposed to the reported plan to segregate persons of the Negro Race, who are members of and contemplate attending the session of the International Council of Religious Education in the city Auditorium Birmingham, Ala., April of this year. We hereby call upon you to use the extensive influence of your office to save this unprecedented humiliation of the Negro constituency. Such a demonstration of race prejudice in the name of Christian religions would be but calamitous to the cause, we all profess to espouse. Each of our denominational groups hold membership in the International Council, through our boards of religious education, and to submit to being proscribed, humiliated, and so placarded in an assembly that purports to stand for Christian brotherhood is entirely beyond question. Inter denominational Ministers Alliance of Washington, D.C. H. T. MEDFORD, Chairman of Committee ANTI-LYNCHING BILL FORMALLY REPORTED The subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to which was referred the antilynching bill introduced by Senator William R. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, unanimously favorably reported the bill to the full committee last Monday morning. As soon as the subcommittee made its report, Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, moved a favorable report by the full Judiciary Committee to the Senate. Southern Democratic members of the committee asked that the matter go over until the next meeting of the committee on Monday, March 1. Their request was granted. After the meeting of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Deneen stated that he had no duobots but that the McKinley antilynching bill would be favorably reported to the Senate. He said that a majority of the committee favors the bill. The subcommittee, which favorably reported the bill/was composed of Senators Albert B. Cummings, of Iowa, and Frederick R. Gillett, of Massachusetts, Republicans, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. This subcommittee held hearings on the bill on February 16. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1926 The Veterans Bureau has demanded the resignation of W. L. Jones, engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., effective as of October 12, 1925, the date he was suspended from duty and pay. Mr. Jones, who is in Washington, has refused to resign. He claims that his charges of mismanagement of the Tuskegee veterans hospital have been proved. He is seeking a congressional investigation into conditions at the hospital as well as his restoration to duty. The Veterans Bureau suspended Mr. Jones from duty without pay October 12, 1925, pending an investigation into charges made by Melvin J. Chisum and Miss Esther J. Bullock that he sought to injure Major J. H. Ward, the commanding officer, and to bring about Major Ward's removal as the hospital head. Hearings on these charges were held in the last week in October, 1925, before the personnel board in the Veterans Bureau. The original suspension of Mr. Jones was for a period of 90 days. At its expiration he reported to Major Ward for duty. He was advised that he could not return to work until there were instructions from the Veterans Bureau. On February 5th, the Veterans Bureau advised Mr. Jones that his suspension had been extended for a period not exceeding 60 more days. On-February 11, he received the following letter from the Veterans Bureau asking him to tender his resignation: The Letter "Reference is made to your letter of February 2, 1926, requesting to be advised of the present status of your case. As a result of your official conduct and other activities at Tuskegee you have brought about a condition which makes it most indefisible to retain you in the Veterans Bureau service at Tuskegee. There is no appropriate assignment-available at any other station and even though such a vacancy existed, it is very doubtful that the position would be offered you in view of your record at Tuskegee. "It is not desired to prejudice your Civil Service record through a removal with prejudice. It is therefore suggested that you submit your resignation at once effective at the close of business October 12, 1925, the date of your suspension from duty and pay. If you do not submit your resignation, you will be dropped from the rolls in another way." This letter was signed by H. W Longfellow, chief of the personnel division of the Veterans Burea, by direction. Mr. Jones charges Melvin J. Chisum with double-crossing him. DEFENDER MGR. SEEKS FEDERAL POSITION The appointment of N. K. McGill as an assistant United States Attorney at Chicago, Illinois, is being urged. Both 'Senators William B. McKinley and Charles S. Deneen, Republicans, of Illinois, are favorably inclined toward his appointment, it was learned, and will take the matter up with the Attorney General. Mr. McGill served for a time as assistant corporation counsel in Chicago. Besides being-engaged in the law practice he is also secretary-general manager of The Chicago Defender. New Features at Graves Among the many improvements at Graves' Cafe, is the addition of two new cooks. These new employees will have sole charge of the bread making. Mr. Graves now features hot bread to his customers 24 hours a day. This cafe has taken the lead as one of Washington's finest eating places. The dining room is one of the most beautiful and spacious in the capital. In order to take care of his trade, Mr. Graves employs two chefs with three shifts of assistants. Many dishes familiar to the south are featured. Washington Teacher Meets Objection to Her Appointment to Public School in New York Washington Teacher Meets Objection to Her Appointment to Public School in New York Marie Mickens, a former Washington, D.C. girl, has become the storm center of a violent race fight in the New York public school system. She has been appointed to teach in the Rosseville, Staten Island Public School, No. 6, succeeding to a place to which Mrs. Elizabeth Hess, a white substitute claimed right by virtue of eighteen months substitute service. Residents of Staten Island through the South Shore Protective Association, a Klan type of organization, has presented strong objections to the Colored teacher. The Staten Island "Advance" features the story in its Wednesday issue. The objectors propose the transfer of Miss Mickens to a school at Sandy Ground, described as a "colored settlement." The school commissioner objects on the ground that such an assignment would savor of segregation, "a condition looked upon with disfavor by the courts of the state and nation." Miss Mickens has been teaching in the school three weeks. She resides, now, in Harlem. Three other colored teachers are teaching in the Staten Island borough in mixed schools, and have been so employed for several years. There are no separate race schools in New York state. LOCAL CONSISTORY HOST TO BIG DELEGATION OF BALTIMORE, MD., MASONS Members of Jonathan Davis Consistory, No. 1 of this city were hosts to a group of high degree Masonic officials from Hiram Consistory of Baltimore. Jos. H. Evans, treasurer general of the Holy Empire and the deputy for the Valley of Maryland headed the visiting party of thirty-second and thirty-third degree officers of the Baltimore Consistory. After the opening of the consistory in due form, the visitors were escorted into the chamber under the guidance of a reception committee of 33rd degree Masons, headed by Ill. Wm. Edwards and there received with ceremonies as befitted the Masonic rank of the distinguished visitors. After the pleasant interchange of greetings in the consistorial chambers, the body adjourned to Harrison's restaurant on Florida Avenue, where a collation was served in honor of the visitors. Charles P. Ford, Grandmaster of the District of Columbia, joined the party and a pleasant evening was concluded before the visitors started for home. Ulysses L. Calles, 32rd degree commander-in-chief of the Hiram Consistory, George A. Owens, 33rd Past Second Lt. Commander; Arthur J. Smith, 33rd degree Minister of State; Charles T. Gillis, Thomas F.

Illness prevented Most Pussian Soy. Gr. Commander Robert Pendleton participating in the evenings affairs. The sublime Princes and Peers were glad to be informed that he is recovering from an illness that has kept him within doors since February 5th.

Though few, compared to the many thousands who attended the National Educational Association held in the city this week the Negro educators' visiting rank well up with the biggest in school circles who have been here. Due to the fact that the registration lists contained no distinguishing references, it has been difficult to compile anywhere near complete enumeration of the names of the Negro delegates. Some among them however called at the Tribune office. Among these were Prof. J. R. E. Lee of Florida A. & I. School; W. J. Hale, President of A. & I. State College of Nashville, Tenn.; H. Council Trenholm, acting President State Normal School, Montgomery, Ala.; H. T. Atwell of the Playground and Recreation Association of Philadelphia; Arthur T. Long of the Lincoln School of Trenton, N.J.; and Messrs. Moxley and Grubb, Elementary school principals of St. Louis, Mo. Others known to have been here are: Mr. Cole of St. Louis, Frank Williams of the same city, Mr. Johnson, High school principal of Wilmington, Del Prof. Wood of Baltimore and Principal Russell of Cincinnati. STUDENT COUNCIL PROTESTS USE OF ALMA MATER SONG The Student Council of Howard University are seeking public support in a campaign of education designed to obtain for their official college song the degree of respect and reverence with which Howard students and alumnae regard the composition. Information came to the student council to the effect that some bands and orchestras have been playing the number for dance purposes, which is entirely beyond the scope of the intention of the composers and the school. The organization promptly voted to register disapproval of this treatment of what they esteem as a musical expression of school spirit. To them any other use is a form of sacrilege. The opinion is entertained that if the musicians and their patrons realize the distress that other than official use or the use otherwise with the same respectful consideration of the school spirit occasions, that such defamation with what is to them something sacred will not be so frequent. "Alma Mater" was composed by F. D. Malone of the class of '16 with words by J. H. Brooks, a class mate. Its theme is indeed reverential. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS MINISTER TO LIBERIA NOT TO RESIGN Illness is the only reason for the return to this country of Solomon Porter Hood, minister resident and consult general at Monrovia, Liberia, according to the State Department. Newspaper reports had it that Mr. Hood was returning because of his failure to put through the United States program in Liberia, which involved the $100,000,000 investment of the Firestone Rubber Company. The proposals regarding the Firestone investment were rejected by the Liberl- M. B. an legislature at its December meeting. Th State Department denied these charges. Officials of the State Department explained Tuesday that Mr. Hood was ill and has been for several months, and he returned to the United States at his own request. The nature of his illness was not known at the State Department, but officials said that their reports were that he had fainted in Monrovia on several occasions. Mr. Hood is still in New York. He is expected here within a week to confer with State Department officials. The question of a successor to Mr. Hood has not come up, inasmuch as he has not resigned, it was said. His term is indefinite. Reid Page Clark (white) was assigned as charge-de-affaires at Monrovia, Liberia, State Department officials said, because he knows more about Liberia than any other man in the foreign service. Clifton R. Wharton, who is the secretary of the legation at Monrovia, Liberia, was not put in charge of affairs because he is only a third secretary, it was said, and has not had enough experience to be in charge. He has been in the diplomatic service less than a year, State Department officials said, and could not be very well put in charge. STORES READY FOR EASTER SALES With Easter just four Sugdays off, coming this year on April-4th, Washington merchants are busy stocking up for what they believe will be the highest Easter business in their history. The advent of warm weather during the past few days, has already started this buying. A trip down Seventh Street will reveal many beautifully decorated shop windows. Perhaps one of the most attractive is that of Moskin Bros. This store is one of Washington's newest, having started here last Fall. Mr. Jacobs, the manager, in an interview with a Tribune reporter stated that his store would probably set the pace for styles for both men and women this spring. His buyers have been in New York City and other big eastern market centers purchasing the choicest fabrics and designs. Further down the street is another store that is recognized as one of the leading stores of its kind in Washington, the Liberal Credit Clothing Co. When asked what were the forecasts for spring, Mr. Riddlebaugh, the manager, stated that the Liberal would astound the Washington public with the wonderful bargains they will offer for Easter shoppers. Milady will have little trouble in completing her wardrobe for the Easter parade if the smart shops like the two named above are the criterions for the bargains that are to be offered.

Such comments as these appear throughout the cables received on the earliest openings: "Ensembles for afternoon wear of outstanding interest; soft dresses of crepe de Chine are accompanied by coats in costume effect; printed frocks are accompanied by reversible bi-color coats and capes; wool poplin in pastel shades introduced for ensembles of sports genere; the unlined coat or cape of matching fabric accompanies the frock of georgette, and printed sauntungs are developed in other types of ensembles." Here are just a few of the statements in favor of costume fashions with the assistance of new cape treatments and new ideas in the handling and combination of color and fabric. One finds that the two-piece dress is also frequently accompanied by a coat, and certain collections emphasize especially the combination of jumper costume with a short coat or jacket; in fact, the jacket accompaniment is constantly mentioned and seems to indicate that the possible rehabilitation of the two-piece suit in popular favor, will bring with it many roles for a complimentary jacket as an extra coat sufficiently heavy for the warm season and one which always has the youthful aspect. There too, the hip length cape which is indicated by Paris as a compliment of Told In Verse YOU'RE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. FRIEND To R. W. Thompson You're gone but not forgotten, friend Your voice is hushed for aye, No more you'll walk the paths of men As in the by-gone day. You're gone but not forgotten, friend; No more will your pen thrill; The desk and chair where once you sat Are lonely, bare and still. You're gone but not forgotten, friend; But why should we repine? For all must tread the Unknown Land Which leads to endless time. You're gone but not forgotten, friend; Your life was one grand song; And all who knew you best of all Still grieve that you are gone. —Jasper Tappan Phillips, M.D. Chicago, Ill.

Fifty invitations issued by Mrs. C. C. Moore, wife of a millionaire ship- builder, to a "finger dinner" at a fashionable downtown hotel on next Tuesday revealed the plan. At the dinner, for which formal dress will be worn, no silver will be found upon the tables, and the entire menu will consist of such edibles as can be "handled" with fingers better than with knives, forks and spoons. Caviar Eclairs Celery Parisienne with Salted Nuts and Ripe Olives Cream of Asparagus Soup (They have to drink this from cups) Stuffed Crab Legs with Fish Sauce (Pastry cups to hold them by) Breast of Baby Chicken with Balls of Spinach Souffle Artichoke Hearts with Moulin Rouge Dressing Bomble Glace in Cornucopias Little Cakes the afternoons frock is another suggestion that the accessory wrap may be of shorter length. As the cape is one of the newer silhouettes to be exploited so generally and so enthusiastically in a great number of variations, it is interesting to find that Paris is giving it rather unqualified approval in sports, afternoon or formal groups. Some of the most interesting interpretations of the cape idea are revealed in the inclination to give cape sleeves to spring coats, cape coats and short capes are repeatedly mentioned as among the wraps for daytime wear while it seems more or less established that for evening the cape theme predominates. In the sportswear type voluminous capes as well as short ones are mentioned. Taffeta is one anomaly in a season of georgettes, Romas and chiffons, and it has not, so far, received the endorsement of all courtiers. Buyers appear to like it, particularly for coats and for youthful black or navy frocks. There are a number of fascinating details that accomplish novelty. I hear the crystal buttons brought out by a trimming manufacturer are so successful that a Fifth Avenue jeweler has appropriated the idea. They are of dull crystal ornamented by fine engraving in color. Pearls have been combined with colored galalith to make other buttons and plaques, the galalith of which matches the dress they trim. Large gold buttons and gold plaques with designs in silver have also appeared. There are new Russian embroideries in very brilliant colors that lend charm to any simple frock. Loves Rugs More than Philadelphia, Pa., Feb.—(By The Associated Negro Press) "Your Honor, I didn't care about him stealing my wife-who was my first love, after I found out about her, but I did want my rugs and clothing back. They were a wedding present from my dead mother." Such was the surprising declaration of Frank A. Day, 30 years old, 2048 Ridge Avenue, when he testified before Judge John Monaghan, in Quarter Sessions in Court Monday afternoon against Sam Beldorner, 32, address no place in particular, who was convicted of stealing clothing and rugs valued at $150 from Day, more than a year ago.

Answers to Queries Answers to Queries By Vee Tee Tee Dear Vee Tee Tee: I have a girl I like very well and we have often talked of marrying. I regard her very highly and I think she likes me. I do not make but $50 a month. Do you think I can treat her as a man should treat his wife or such a small salary?—J. G. W. P.S.—I own a little home. My dear J. G. W.: First of all let me ask you if you really love this girl? You tell me you regard her very highly. There is a great gap between regard and love, my dear young man. Regard for a person may be made to crumble easily, but real love endures to the end. My answer to you will depend on whether you simply regard her highly or love her. I say this because money won't be the foundation of your happiness, if love is present. You seem to live in a small town and own a home; your present salary is $50 a month. By careful planning, the two of you can get along. No doubt, in a town of that size there is nothing much to go to which would necessitate your spending large sums of money at any one time; you have no house rent to pay which is a great burden lifted from you; you have no furniture to buy to amount to anything; therefore with your present salary, health and anxiety to make it comfortable for the woman you love, it may be possible to make extra change sometimes and thus increase your salary. If there is a will, young man, there is a way—all you must have is "stickability." All this, however, depends upon love though. When two people love each other and have health, they can succeed. Your wife, although she should not be made to tell that she is forced to do so, may be able to help in some way also. However, if regard is the basis of the marriage, you cannot hope to be happy. In marriage of regard, congeniality only lasts as long as each party is satisfied with accompanying results. Such marriages are generally based upon the man's productive and giving powers. When these are stopped, the little castle crumbles to the ground. Be sure of yourself and the girl. If you think the former condition exists—go ahead and I wish you good luck—if the latter exists—don't do it. —Vee Tee Tee From the Melting Pot From the Melting Pot HINTS TO PARENTS 1. A spoiled child often indicates that he has selfish parents or neurotic parents. Is your child spoiled? 2. Begin your anti-spoiling methods early. A child can be as thoroughly spoiled at two months as at four years. 3. To habitually "give in" to your child is not an evidence of real mother love. More likely it is proof that you prize your own immediate comfort more than you do your child's future welfare. 4. Don't "show off" your child before company. 5. Don't determine to give your child all the luxuries and advantages you and his father may have missed in your own childhood. Make him earn some of them. 6. Don't always do for your child those things he should learn to do for himself 7. Give him some responsibility each day and insist that he, carry it out. This encourages self-reliance and fosters pride of achievement. 8. All praise and no blame makes Jack a conceived boy. Praise your child when he merits it, of course. But don't forget the beneficial effects of occasional constructive criticism, or even of punishment. 9. Be consistent in your own conduct. 10. Remember that most selfish, disagreeable, conceived and unreliable adults were once spoiled children. 11. Don't forget that what your child is, up to ten or twelve years of age, usually indicates what he will continue to be all the rest of his life. WITHOUT DIVORCE A world without divorce will be revealed in "Blind Alley" a new play by Dorothy Brandon which is soon to be produced in London by the authors, who also wrote "The Outsider." Miss Brandon says her play is not a propaganda effort and that she really is not in sympathy with the church' opposition to all divorces, but that she believes marrying should be made more difficult before divorce is made easier.

Mix into a paste with hot water—not boiling, as this takes the strength. Apply the henna evenly with a brush. The length of time depends on the color desired. Your own knowledge of quality and shade of hair must be your guide in timing the pack. For instance, for a dark brown, or medium or lighter shades twenty to thirty minutes should be the time. The same kind of henna will do for both pack and rinse. Answer—Blackheads usually occur in skin having large pores or when the skin is insufficiently cleansed. Very few people know or will take the time to care for the skin properly. Blackheads may be found on any part of the body wherever dirt can lodge in the sebaceous or oil ducts, especially when the glands are more or less inactive through faulty elimi- Questions—Do you advise the use of a depilatory for removing superfluous hair from the face? Thanking you kindly.—Edna. Answer—Do not ever use a depilatory on the face. They were never intended for the face and usually their use will be followed by very discouraging results. nation. Thorough body cleanliness internally as well as externally is necessary to prevent the formation of these unsightly objects. When-black-heads are allowed to remain undisturbed they often give the skin a very course and unattractive appearance Advise your patrons to use Mme, Dudley's Peroxide Cold Cream for cleansing the skin and they will soon see a wonderful improvement in their complexion. In this day of soft-coal burning and other activities, it is absolutely necessary to cleanse the face and neck with Peroxide Cold Cream to remove the grime which can not be removed by soap and water and which if not removed will cause the pores to spread wide open and the trouble begins. Mme, Dudley's Peroxide Cold Cream is not only an excellent cleansing cream, but it has bleaching properties and will lighten and soften the skin. The advantages derived from facial clay packs are varied and numerous. They will be found to be both refreshing and restful, removing that tired expression so detrimental to beauty. The astringent ties will temporarily remove small wrinkles and reduce the larger ones. Question—I am writing to ask you about a customer of mine whose white hair has become very streaked. Could you help me in a case like this? If you will tell me what to do I would be much obliged to you.—P.S. Answer—Many times it is necessary to remove discolorations from hair that would appear otherwise perfectly white. This work may be done before and after the shampoo. Mix a tablespoon of peroxide and a half spoonful of salt, and saturate the streaks with it. In ten or fifteen minutes shampoo, using a little bluing in the last rinse. By this method streaks will sometimes disappear in the very first treatment, and in any event they will become less noticeable. Tis True In days of old they called woman vain, if nature she tried to aid—But today Father Time bows his head in same—he can't tell matron from mold. Question—Will you please tell me how to give a henna pack? Can I use the same kind of henna for a henna The face is the mirror of the mind, and the quality of your thoughts will be reflected thereon.

Do not make two words of one word such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word), "hall way" for "hallway", etc. You may send in as many letters as you wish, providing each one is accompanied by a blank (as above), cut out of the Washington Tribune.

MOST PROGRESSIVE NEGRO WOMAN IN WASHINGTON Tribunites Hail Miss Nannie H. Burroughs as Their Ideal In our history questions for October 14, 1922, one question was: "Who do you think is the most progressive Negro woman in Washington, and why?" All the Tribunites sent in the name of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. Here are just a few of the statements sent in. These statements were selected at random. C. Priscilla Shorter, age 13: "Miss Nannie Burroughs is the most progressive Negro woman in Washington. She has established a training school for Negro women and girls. She also organized the Sun Light Laundry." Lawrence A. Trimmer, (age ?.): "I think Miss Nannie Burroughs is the most progressive Negro woman in Washington. She has built a training school to train our girls." Janet Watson, age 15: "Miss Nannie Burroughs is another Booker T. Washington. She teaches one to train the hands as well as to train the head. Miss Burroughs is a great woman and we should say so while she is living." Cornelia Jackson, age 16: "My reason for thinking that Miss Nannie Burroughs is our most progressive woman is because she is interested in the welfare of others. If she was selfish the National Training School in Lincoln Heights, D.C., would have never been established. Progress comes by thinking of others." Edith B. Morrison, age 12: "I think Miss Nannie Burroughs is the most progressive Negro woman in Washington because she has done more towards the advancement of Negroes than any other woman in Washington. Miss Burroughs through her own efforts obtained money to build the 'National Training School for Girls' at Lincoln Heights. The school will accommodate more than one hundred girls and there are several buildings on the grounds which are used as workshops. Miss Burroughs has recently built a steam laundry where the girls may work and help to pay their way through school. It would be hard to find a more progressive woman." Robert T. Weyman age 15: "My choice is Miss Nannie Burroughs. She is great because she attempts things that most 'men' would be afraid to try." Boys and girls, Miss Burroughs' skin is not white. She has had to struggle through hard and difficult lessons, she had to feel the sting of being a Negro, she had her hardships. If Miss Burroughs succeeded to the point at which she now is—so can you succeed. Be proud of yourself, your family, and of your race. Learn as much of the worthwhile folks of the race as you possibly can. Send in letters telling who YOU think is the most progressive Negro man or woman in Washington. BOYS AT Y.M.C.A.

BE PROUD OF YOUR RACE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR --- BOYHOOD OF WASHINGTON Dear Editor: George Washington was a brave boy. He was not afraid to ride a horse. He would not tell a lie. When he cut down his father's cherry tree he told his father that he had cut the tree down. George was also polite to the people he met on the street. WM. ALEXANDER (9) KNOWS HER HISTORY Dear Editor; Last week was Negro History Week and I learned many interesting facts concerning our Race. In the Revolutionary war the Negro was the first person to shed his blood for the freedom and liberty of his country. The Negro was also active in the Civil and World Wars. The black man suggested many parts for that cotton gin for which writers of our histories always pat Eli Whitney on the back. And the Negro did many other great deeds and thus he helped spread civilization in America. THELMA CRAIG WELCOME FRANCES Dear Editor: I would like very much to join the Children's Page. I attend Lovejoy School. My teacher's name is Miss Wade, she is very nice and I have always liked her. I think she is better than any teacher I have had. I am in the 5-B grade. I am nine years old. FRANCES CURTIS SAW A GOOD PICTURE Dear Editor: I received the ticket and enjoyed the play very much and hope that the other winners enjoyed the play that they saw. I went to see "Richard, the Lion-hearted." The theatre was crowded and the children made so much noise that I am sure they enjoyed the play very much. GARLAND ROBINSON A NEW COMER Dear Editor: I am 13 years old, in the 7th grade at Burrville School and I wish to be a member of the Children's Page. I read the Tribune often and I am very interested in it, especially in the Children's Page. Hope I will hear from you soon. MARGARET JACKSON ENJOYED THE PICTURE Dear Editor: I am thanking you for the ticket that you sent me. I was surprised to receive a reward for my sentence. I was talking to a friend of mine and she was telling me that she hoped that she would win a ticket—and she did. I went to see "Richard, the Lion-hearted." I have read so much about him until it was quite a treat to see some of his power and authority that he had over his enemies. I will be more loyal to the Tribunites' page than I have. Love to all the Tribunites. EVELYN J.

P ANALYZING THE MILLION DOLLAR RAISE GRANTED TO THE PORTERS This space might have been devoted to your ad, then others would be reading it just as you are now reading this. Let us run your copy in our next week's issue. PAGE TWELVE In an analysis of the million dollars the Pullman company is credited with granting to its porters and maids, the Brotherhood offices have made public the following: This million dollar wage increase is a huge joke, granting of course that there is such an increase. Nevertheless, what does this apparently "huge" wage increase mean? Simply this: that the company has opened up its heart and given the porters a raise of a trifle more than $1.00 per week, and this at a time when the other railroad workers are demanding an increase of $1.00 per day. The company's press release also states that "additional increases will be given the men in recognition of long service." This in theory sounds pretty good, but let's see what it actually means: when a porter has served two years he receives $6.50 wage increase; at the end of two years he receives another increase of $6.00, and finally after another long period of about fifteen years, provided he survives, he will receive another increase of $6.50. Thus, a man who has been in the service for a period of, say, forty years, will, at the end of that time receive a total increase of $18 or 40 per cent per year. Ye gods! and this is the increase which the company expects will draw members away from the Brotherhood. The result of the Wage conference has made the job of the organizers of the Brotherhood a much lighter and easier one. "Pullman porters and maids have suffered no reduction in wages as have other railroad employees since the war-time peak." It might be well to state here that the "war-time peak" referred to by the Company was $60.00 per month. "Free insurance" is also mentioned. Suffice to say, however, that all who tried to collect this insurance know what a task they face, as well as the CHIO COURT OF LAST RE SORT DECIDES AGAINST SEGREGATION Columbus, Ohio—The supreme court of Ohio has by decision ordered the Board of Education and the superintendent of schools of Dayton to admit Negroes and white children to the same classes in the public schools of the city. The rulings of the court confirms a similar ruling made 38 years ago in cases originating in Hamilton and Butler counties. The decision affirms the judgement of the Montgomery county court of appeals in a contest originated by Earl Reese, a citizen; and very definitely kills the idea of segregation in Ohio schools for some time. KNIGHTS TEMPLARS HAVE LADIES' NIGHT The officers and some of the past officers of Gethsamane Commandery Knights Templar No. 3 entertained the Ladies Auxiliary, the wives, daughters, sisters and lady friends at the beautiful and spacious home of Sir Knight and Honored Lady R. P. Robb, 920 N Street, Northwest, Friday, February 12, 1926. Eminent Commander, Charles H. Anderson, Master of Ceremonies, made the introductory remarks on the event of the occasion and referred to the Life of Lincoln. When we look at Lincoln in his youth and then compare him in his later life, we are compelled to say with the other great minds, "Is not this a wonderful transformation?" The selection of the date is hoped will be an epoch making event of the pages of Masonic history for Gethsamane Commandery and the time is not far in the distance when Ladies Night will be an annual affair. Honored Lady, Pugsley, the first President of Gethsemane Auxiliary gave an excellent account of the passing events of the historical facts of the organization. Five-minute speeches were made by some of the officers and honored ladies as follows: Mrs. M. Smith; Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Thompson, treasurer; Mrs. C. S. Brooks, secretary; and Sir Knights, Rev. Wm. H. French, G.; C. H. Johnson, captain; General Chas. A. Allen, Sr.W.; Adam M. Taylor, P.E.C.; Wm. H. Thomas, P.E.C.; Robt. P. Robb, W. Each lady present was given a souvenir and a toy for a boy or girl of the Knighthood. A splendid repast was served in the dining room beautifully decorated for the occasion. Mrs. Robb, Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Brown served the guests in excellent style. P. E. C. Wm. H. Thomas, selected as toastmaster proved to be master of the situation and all voted that this was one of the best toothsome parties the K. T.'s ever had. Look in the Tribune for our next. Insure for $5,000 with VICTORY LIFE INSURANCE CO., Mortgage Redemption Policy See Victory Life Agent or J. Percy Bond, Supervisor 1238 U Street, N.W. many, many ways in which payment is avoided. Another joke in the agreement is the providing of "sleeping or rest quarters for porters and maids while they are away from home." These quarters are provided, but no self-respecting person avails himself of the opportunity to stay in them. Recently a number of men were imported here from the South and were quartered in cold and worn-out cars sledtracked in the yards. In Washington, D.C., sixty men are required to sleep in one ill-ventilated room. Similar conditions exist everywhere in these so-called "sleeping and rest quarters." On the whole, this so-called agreement proves but one thing, and that is, that the 12,000 Negro porters and maids in the employ of the Pullman Company need an instrument—a union—one free from the influence and control of the Company, if they hope ever to effectively better the deployable conditions under which they now toil and sweat. That this fact is dawning upon the minds of the men is evidenced by the large number of them now enrolled in the Brotherhood and oy the frantic efforts of these "stay-on-the-fence porters" now to become Brotherhood members. During the comparatively short period of its existence the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters has been able to force the Pullman Company to bring some measure of relief to this case of its employees and Brotherhood will eventually convince the Company that it is only by recognizing the porters and maids in this legitimate right to organize a union of, for, and by themselves will it be able to secure from these workers a higher grade of service, as well as make them a more efficient and contented body of men and women. For this, the Pullman Company will yet be grateful to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Former Minister to the U. S. A. Arrested in Haitian Home Former Minister to the U. S. A. Arrested in Haitian Home New York, Feb. 28—The newspaper Le Temps, of Port Au Prince, Haiti announced that its editor, Charles Moravia, former Haitian Minister at Washington, had been arrested by order of President Borno because of publication of an article against the president's re-election. POLICEMAN FACES TRIAL FOR AUTO RIDE POLICEMAN FACES TRIAL FOR AUTO RIDE Companion Fined for Holiday Whirl Following an alleged wild motor ride in Seventh Street, Northwest, the aftermath of a party at a cabaret last Monday, Policeman Warren Eustace Scott, of the Third precinct, was arrested. He was charged with disorderly conduct and assault. With the policeman was Roy Herman Diggs 28, 1033 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, driver of the automobile which, police say, raced along the street with a siren screening. Both men were taken into Police Court Monday morning, where the policeman demanded a jury trial. His companion was convicted of driving with no lights at times and with dazzling lights at other times, reckless driving, making unnecessary noise and failing to obey signals. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 24—(By the Associated Negro Press) Another young, Negro was victim of the mayhem operations which have been performed upon Negroes in this community recently. On Wednesday of last week, Simon Milligan, an employee of the white old folks home in Murray Hill section of the city, was taken out by a mob and operated upon. The story which reached representatives of the Press, is different and for a cause different from any similar cases. It was stated to the Associated Negro Press representative that Milligan had an altercation with the white male cook at the institution some time before and that Milligan had gotten the best of the argument. The incident had been closed, Milligan thought, and on Wednesday night of last week the aftermath occurred. Milligan was called to his door by two white men who declared they were detectives. The men were armed and ordered Milligan to follow them. They took him some distance from the city where the main mob was and the operation was performed. He was then brought back toward the city and latter picked up by a white physician who placed him in the Brewster Hospital. This is the first case of mayhem for the offense named. A determined effort is being made by certain Negroes here to have the authorities punish those guilty of these offenses. An effort is being made to have the white cook arrested. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1926 Seattle Mayor Welcomes Organizers of the Pullman Porters Mayor Brown of Seattle, a strong union labor city, made the speech of welcome to the national organizers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porsers when Messrs. A. P. Randolph and Mr. Totten went to that city on an organization tour of the Pacific coast, in delivering the traditional keys of the city, a formality accorded only to listinguished visitors, the Mayor declared that the Porters should have been organized twenty-five years ago; and that "If the arguments based on truth and justice does not get action from the Pullman company, the Americian public will compel them." The western Porters, according to a wire from the organizers are responding with great enthusiasm to the efforts of the travelling messengers of the Union. "Conclusion Drive" for Howard Medical Endowment Fund Howard University Medical School is about to launch the concluding drive of a three year campaign for endowment funds to maintain the school among the "class A" Medical Schools of the country. Three years ago, several thousand individuals subscribed a large part of the quarter of a million sought under tender from the General Education Board to match all donations. As is normal in matters of this sort, a number of pledges remain unredeemed, many who promised have died prior to fullfilling the promised gift and not enough has been subscribed. Hence Dr. Edward A. Balloch, Dean of the Medical School has launched what he terms a "Conclusion campaign" that will last until July 1, the date at which the Educational Board offers expires. Journalist Passes Away in Florida Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 24—Another outstanding journalist has passed to the great beyond. Walter I. Lewis, for many years editor of the colored department of the Metropolis (now the Jacksonville Journal) died suddenly last Thursday at his home. 810 Clay Street. The aged editor had been in failing health for sometime, and on Wednesday night was taken home ill. He died Thursday at 1:30 p. m. For more than thirty years the people of this city had come to regard Walter I. Lewis, as a fixture in the newspaper field. In 1920 he was associated with the Florida Sentinel, first as associate editor, and then as editor. He held this position for several years, when the colored department of the Jacksonville Journal was re-established and he was called to this position again. Since that time, he has been an outstanding character in the community. He graduated from the South Carolina State College when both Negroes and whites were admitted on the same basis. He received the bachelor of arts degree. Prof. Lewis was very proficient in the German language. His scholastic attainments he never boasted of; only a few of his friends knew him as a scholar. He was married to a very intellectual woman, Mrs. Carrie Cutton, member of an old family of this city, and for many-years a teacher in the high school department of Stanton Public School.

In fact, he hobnobbed a bit with "Cupid" while here with such excellent effect that the news of his next visit may have big reader interest.

"So great is the wickedness of some men and the stupid servility of others, that one would be almost inclined to conclude that communities cannot be free. The few haughty families think they must govern. The body of the people tamely consent and submit to be their slaves. This unravels the mystery of millions being enslaved by the few." - Samuel Adams. FAKE RACE LEADERS Under the above caption the Christian Recorder, of Philadelphia, says: There are a great many people who pose as race leaders. They are always in the limelight; If some Negro is refused a glass of beer in a saloon, or a sandwich in a lunch room, or a ticket to a theatre, they all get worked up and want to hold an indignation meeting. They grow hot in the collar over the slightest discrimination. They are big leaders in a four or five letter organization for protesting. But ask them to subscribe for a Negro paper and they pray to be excused; ask them to support a Negro bank or a Negro grocer and they are absent. No, they don't go to a Negro church—unless it is to ask the Negroes for a collection, "to help the race." If they own property (and usually they don't) they have a white man transacting their business. Indeed they want to be white. We should get rid of these fake Negro leaders. To all of which the Tribune says Amen, but would like to add a few words. There is really some doubt whether these persons get so much "worked up" over these incidents (unless it is they themselves who are the victims) as that they see the opportunity to use these occurrences to a "work up" the natural and proper indignation that all of us feel when thus discriminated against. It is the general public who really get worked up; and quite often get worked out of their hard-earned shekels to pay some big white lawyer a few thousands and a few colored "plus" lawyers a few hundreds to get decisions that are usually valueless—that neither correct anything nor establish any fundamental principles of value to us. For example, in spite of the jim crow car cases that have been started, and those that have reached the higher courts; in spite of all the bally-hooping about them and the hat-passing for their prosecution, not one—we weigh our words—not one has been of the slightest benefit to the race; not one has established—or even attempted to establish—any fundamental principles. The jim-crow cars still run into and out of the Union station, in the shadow of the U. S. Capitol, and the cars on the interurban electric roads bring their colored passengers into the city and take them out, in the rear seats only, "under rules of the company." Moreover, these leaders know perfectly well that this jim crow car matter and discriminatory practices generally are best reached—probably can only be reached—through political channels. The President of the United States has the power not only to put an end to segregation in the government departments here, and see that we get a square deal in the civil service, he has the power to stop jim crow cars from running into the capital or from crossing any state line—which means, of course, power to break up the practice altogether; for intra-state and even municipal street railway segregation would not long endure after a general mixing in inter-state traffic. Why don't these professed and profiting-taking leaders "go after" these matters in the right way and at the right time? In spite of Calvin Coolidge's coolness toward our rights and wrongs, if and when he, for example, comes up for office again, the entire pack— will run barking beside (and behind) the political bandwagon, no matter what tune the band may be playing. It is true, that, at times—notably for some months past until just recently—there has been some mumbling and growling in the pack. But the Recorder, as well as the powers that be, knows that in these protestations there is a lesser percentage of militant menace than there is of "stifling" in present day Philadelphia beer. Another matter the Recorder should not overlook. These pampered leaders usually manage to steer clear of situations that lay them liable to the pinch of public segregation insult. If obliged to take the freight elevator to go up to "see" somebody, they slip into and out of it with as little publicity as possible. On the railroads, only rarely, if ever, are they found in the jim crow cars. In the border states they are in a quiet corner of the Pullmans (if not in their own "cars"). Further south they engage the drawing rooms on the Pullman cars and keep hidden in them. Of course this costs extra money, which the hoi pollo cannot afford—and it frequently requires "pull" also, which they manage somehow to exert even in Lynch-land. However, contractural residential exclusion hits this class in a tender spot, and so far they have not been able to ward off the blows (though, for the common good, we hope that a way will be found to do so). It is hard not to believe that it is largely due to the class that is mainly hit by this latest discrimination that we have witnessed such a concatenated, concurrent, and concentrated THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26. 1926 yowling, and such organized stalking of the race for "Funds." Somebody has said that every nation has just the sort of government that it deserves. So likewise, we are inclined to say that every people and every group has just the sort of leaders that it deserves. If we permit those who pose as or who act as our leaders to live on Easy Street and enjoy the fatness of the land, and that just be cause of that leadership whose chief purpose is to keep contented, or at least merely hopeful, the rank and file; if we permit ourselves to be merely cannon fodder, or political fodder, or economic fodder, and get nothing for it in return, except the pleasure of seeing these leaders puffed and pictured and petted, whom should we blame? THE ULTIMATE IN VANDALISM We have often talked of the meanest man, the most evil minded person, and of the most malicious human being we have met. We have contemplated the mental reactions of him who destroys for the mere sake of destruction; and we have pondered on those who would desecrate and destroy that which they could not restore. The vindictiveness of those who are credited with bringing on a world war with its attendant destruction has been paraded before our minds with some sense of dignity and excuse. There have been some extenuating circumstances that bespoke pity for the little petty mind that practiced annoying minor scratching of finished things. These we can understand; and we can have some patience with, or sympathy for, the pervert; but in what category may we place the ultimate vandal, the disciple of destruction, who would make harder the way of a race, a group of his own people, a fraternity already burdened with troubles. Such a one is the nth power of nefarious and naked devilry. The writer was one of a committee who visited the unfinished Masonic Temple on U Street, where hard working members of a worthy craft have already sunk much of their money, their faith in humanity and their ambitions. This committee was bent on salvaging as much as possible of the structure for its almost hope-abandoned owners. In the basement, where had been stored stones of massive size, ornate carving, and symbolistic shape, there was found instead of the readily convertible works of art, a rubble of broken stones that indicated more than a few hours of actual laborious effort to ruin that which was beautiful, to destroy that which had value, and to further embarrass with devil-developed designs by wanton destruction an already distressed organization. Blame cannot be placed, perhaps, but up there from where the All-seeing eye looks into our heart and observes our every thought and action, there is recorded against some poor shrivelled soul a mark upon the structure of its future habiliment that will set the malignant thing apart from the immortals who are acceptable to the kingdom of the eternal because here on earth they tried to do right. It is even doubtful if vultures would feed upon such carrion. Mephistopheles himself may even decline to house in his hell one so vindictive, so low and so despicable. To ask forgiveness for such persons, is to impose upon the magnanimity of the God to whom humanity looks, and to whom Masonry is dedicated. To think, a second time, of such a vandal is to contaminate those who would themselves be clean. The strength that crushed those stones, crushed whatever claim to a soul he or they may have had. Selah! MEANNESS RUNNING MAD The indications are that the Board of Education will add vindictiveness to their previous blundering injustice by "diseipilining" in some way the helpless teachers at Armstrong school because they "failed to prevent" the pupils from showing their resentment at the treatment accorded to their principal. That's even worse than the sort of thing you read of as occurring in the South when some unknown Negro is alleged to have committed a crime. If a raid and search of the Negro "quarters" fails to yield any suspect on whom the crime seemingly can be fastened, then all of the Negroes of the community are brow-beaten and bullied and threatened with—and sometimes actually visited with—"reprisal" in the form of mobbing, if "they" do not "deliver" the supposed culprit. What a strain on one's conscience and natural desire to be decent an administrative position in our public school system must be. The Square Deal in Virginia "From this meagre beginning . . . the Department of Mouth Hygiene has grown until today it engages the services of fifteen full-time clinicians in carrying on the work. Fourteen of them are white, and spend their time in the schools and institutions for whites; the rest of us . . ."—From an address by Fred D. Morton, D.D.S., Clinician, Mouth Hygiene Department, Virginia State Board of Health. (Population, Census 1920, White 1.617,909, Negro 690,017). Democracy's Only Hope "If the fundamental interests of men do not sufficiently converge at the bottom to enable tolerance to bridge the gaps, then there is no adequate basis for social unity [democracy]."—Dr. T. V. Smith of the University of Chicago in the Scientific Monthly for January. There is an able and versatile white editor over in Alexandria, Va. Every now and then the editorial columns of the Alexandria Gazette discloses some exhibits of candid reasoning and frank statements that are refreshing and enlightening. In an editorial concerning the lectures of John Langdon Davis on the myth of Nordic supremacy the candid Virginian says: "In one respect, we Nordics have the world beaten. That's in our self-esteem." That one sentence explains much. What are scientific facts when they run counter to one's esteem for himself? My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON The N. A. A. C. P. today forwarded statistics, published in the West Publishing Company's "Docket," showing that there are 539 colored lawyers in American cities having a population of 100,000 or more and that among these cities Chicago leads with 95 colored lawyers. New York is second with 50 colored attorneys, Detroit third with 32, Baltimore fourth with 27 and Indianapolis fifth with 26. Other cities in the list include: Boston, 16; Columbus, Ohio, 14; Memphis and Philadelphia each 13; Richmond, Va. and St. Louis, Mo., 12; Kansas City, Kan., 11; and Los Angeles and Louisville each 10. The above is from the weekly press release of the N. A. A. C. P. The failure to make any mention of Washington, where the bar association lists 109 Negro attorneys, may perhaps be accounted for by what appears to be the notion of the organization releasing this news that Washington has had but one Colored lawyer. At least their several bits of litigation has indicated that. And now that this particular lawyer has been elevated to the municipal bench (confirmation being assumed), of course, the town is bereft of colored legal talent altogether. Or may be they do not regard Washington as in the U. S. A. Let's hear from the Supreme Court of U Street. Congressional campaigns are in full, though quiet swing, as befits the early stages: and with them comes the old-time bunk from the job holders whose chief function is to make apologies for their political bosses and act as buffers between the said bosses and the voters at home who must be bamboozled every alternate year. In a press release from one of the officially sustained "services" we find this: "Nationally, whatever apathy has existed toward the [black] brother in the matter of recognition and appointments has probably RESULTED FROM THE LACK OF NATION L COHESION." (The capitalizing is ours.) Now isn't that rich? Wonder what sort of glue the Swedes, the Irish, the Germans, the Crunchers, etc., have been asked to use that all might be delivered in one bundle to get a job for one among them. However it will be ever thus—that is, if the political powers can continue to command apologists at the price of petty jobs for the political "hustlerati." The Saturday Evening Post of February 15, carries a most interesting story by Albert Atwood, a noted economist and writer on business subjects, covering the matter of employee and customer stock holdings in public service corporations. In this story he discloses the information that many New Haven Railroad employees hold bonds and stock of the company. One of the pleasing incidents with which the story is augmented is the relation of how, in the refinancing of a five million dollar bond is sue held abroad, employees took more than a million dollars worth of bonds. "Every member of one dining car crew subscribed," says the story. The punch in this history is the fact that New Haven dining car employees are all Negroes except one man on each car. Every car is 90 per cent Negro. "Oh, he is only a railroad man," uttered with lifted brows somehow loses its savor in the face of such news. We begin to see now, why so many of the railway boys can help sisters and cousins through school, send relatives to colleges, pay hospital bills, maintain nice homes and make real contributions to race movements. They have THRIFT, they get the substance and not the shadows of life. Coleman Blease wants to protect America from "miscegenation" and in pursuit of that purpose has introduced a bill forbidding "mixed" marriages. That's funny from a man representing one of the States that has never permitted such marriages yet which ranks high on the list of states enumerated in the census reports as having a large percentage of mulattoes, octoroons and quadroons. Now, Senator, if you are really in earnest, introduce a bill providing a penalty for illegal sex relations, make it mandatory that the woman's testimony be accepted as to the fatherhood of her children and give the guilty one a jail sentence. Do this and the WHITE PRIMARYS of South Carolina will have to be conducted in the jails of the State, if they want to send a Blease back to the Senate. If they let him who is without guilt cast the first ballot—to paraphrase a taunt from the Master—it would mean many empty ballot boxes in the Palmetto State. My, but our doctors are a busy lot. Many of them can hardly find time to answer correspondence. Some dash off a reply—dash is right. They send a letter in a running line with fluctuations up or down that are meaningless to the recipient. Of course they conserve their valuable time by doing in five minutes what could be properly done if two minutes more were bestowed upon the communication. A bit later the addressee is obliged to use an hour or more of time, to exhaust his ingenuity at puzzle solving, (harass his mind for several nights thereafter hoping that his Sam Lloyd adventure has come out right) and his life in cussing the learned person who would rather spend his time in drug store arguments than in utilizing the knowledge of chirography that came with his expensive education—education that was expensive to the giver and ever after to those who try to read his handwriting. A Woman's Point of View By NANN1E H. BURROUGHS DON'T FORGET THE JIM-CROW CARS AND LODGE HALLS AND CHURCHES We are to observe another week. If Solomon were living he would say, "Of the observances of weeks there is no end." April 4 to 10 is Health Week and the United States Public Health Service has issued a pamphlet brim full of dos, don'ts and directions. We looked through it very carefully to see whether the United States Public Health Service had gotten up to its duty in regard to issuing orders to railroad companies about their odoriferous, germ-spreading, disease-breeding toiletis on our glorified Jim-Crow cars. It would seem that since the Public Health Service is sponsored by the United States government, and since the health of the entire Negro race is endangered, that the service would give some definite and mandatory instructions to the railroads through the Inter-state Commerce Commission. We admit that we have enough personal and private dirt in our own bathrooms, toilets and out-houses to justify the activity and solicitude of the Public Health Service. We must clean up and clean out. But the railroads excel us in wilful and flag neglect of toilets in Jim-Crow cars and in Jim-Crow waiting rooms. The Negro traveler in the South is liable to catch everything from gonorrhea or syphilis to smallpox in the railroad hog-pens provided for Negro passengers on Southern carriers. While the Health Service is issuing orders to Negroes to clean up everything from babies to barns and to wash frequently and thoroughly every part of their anatomies from teeth to toe nails, we are requesting this same service to extend its health campaign into a needy field and issue detailed instructions to the Inter-state Commerce Commission and to the railroads on the conditions of the toilets and the waiting-rooms for Negroes, and tell them what must be done to protect the health of the Negro travelling public. We would suggest to the service BY WELLINGTON ADAMS SOMEBODY'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR While that's the caption of a Spiritual it is no less true in that the voice of a race artist is certainly knocking at the door of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York City. This is a prophecy and we venture to say that its fulfillment is but a matter of time only. The white press has been raving over Marian Talley, the Kansas City girl who invaded Metropolitan's sacred precincts recently with more or less success. "She is white is why her victory was so comparatively simple to attain" we say. Well what about Marian Anderson winning the audition contest last year out of a large number of white vocalists right there in New York City, and was acclaimed a remarkable singer by all the critics? Like Roland Hayes, she has appeared with several Symphony Orchestras and that is the charted route to higher and greater music realms, ultimately the Metropolitan Opera. Hayes is blazing the way, Marian Anderson is following in his footsteps closely and Florence Cole Talbert, Lillian Evanti and others are beacon lights on the way to greater fame in America as well as abroad. Among others who are winning fresh laurels are Paul Robeson, Julius Bledsoe, noted singers and William Lawrence, Hayes' accompanist, and William L. King, Miss Anderson's accompanist, Both Lawrence and King are master accompanists. Our artists certainly are knocking at the door! MINER NORMAL HEARS HOWARD PLAY A complimentary violin recital by Wesley I. Howard, the young wizard of the violin, assisted by Anola Miller and Ethyl Wise of Howard University Conservatory of Music was given at Miner Normal School, Friday, February 19, at 9 o'clock, a.m. Program: 1. Legende, Wieniawski 2. Were You There When They Laid Him in the Tomb? Miller. Ill. Melodie, Gluck-Kaeiser; Berceuse Slav, Neruda; Tyrolienne, Alard. IV. Villanelle, Eva Del Aqua, Miss Wise. V. Slavonic Dance No.1, Dvorak-Kreisler; Grande Fantasia Militaire, The Training School and Appreciation Day In three most interesting and attractive programs, the students of The National Training School for Women and Girls, initiated Appreciation Day, Monday, February 22. The school will observe the day each year. The theme was: "The Negro and His Friends." In very stirring orations the students lauded the friends of the race. Mr. Neval H. Thomas delivered the principal address. Mis Eliza Coppage, the noted reader, thrilled the audience in her tribute to Frederick Douglass. The orations by the young women lauded the leadership of the men and women who were active in the Anti-Slavery movement. The most striking thing about Appreciation Day was the idea of praising the dead but not forgetting to to "begin at Jerusalem." So much for the railroad end of our Health Week Program. Now to the officials and representatives of Negro lodges, churches and public halls. If Negroes do not catch everything that is catchable in some of these "emergency parlors" they are certainly immune from every communicable disease. Have you ever stopped to think that the halls, lodge buildings and churches are owned or run by would-be Negro leaders; that the trustees and directors are our granddissimons that dress up, and regale themselves and strut like peacocks while the properties over which they have control and direction are not only stenchy but are among the great agencies for the spread of social diseases? In many of the places under the direction of our Grand Exalted, Most Worthies and every other superlative; it is not necessary for the management to go to the expense of buying "Toilet" plates. Every person's olfactory organ leads him in the right direction. It is high time that the trustees and managers of lodge halls, and many of our churches, were living up to their trusts in the matter of providing decent and safe comfort places. We are spending late hours in ill-smelling, disease-ridden lodge halls. Many lodge members catch the diseases for which the lodges take care of their members while they are sick and bury them when they die, in the dirty, disease-ridden, poorly ventilated halls owned by the lodge. The organizations pay the price in sick and death benefits for their own negligence. They kill their own members. We advise the promoters of Health Week to remember that the Negro home is not any more responsible for our long sick list and high death rate than are the Jim-Crow public carriers and privately or fraternally owned lodge halls. If the Service wants to do a good health week job, the promoters should go where millions of us ride or lodge and lay down the law and see that these disease-spreading agencles are cleaned up and kept clean. (Cadenza, Andante and Finale) Mrs Harriet Howard at the piano. ROLAND HAYES JUSTLY FAMOUS "The most popular male singer in this country is not in the Metropolitan Opera House. Neither is he the most finished: John McCormick, Emile de Gogorza, Renald Werrenrath, Louis Graveur and Roland Hayes, to mention some of the most famous of the men singers are concert artists", writes the noted American music critic W. J. Henderson in a recent magazine edition on the topic: "What I Think of Living Singers—Male Singers Put in Their Places." The particular interest attaches to the fact that mention is made of a noted vocal member of our group, Roland Hayes, ranking him as among the five leading male artists which is at once complimentary but as well deserving and merited. His past record speaks for itself and his fame is possibly more illuminating in European countries than here in his native land. His record during the present music season is nothing short of phenomenal in the annals of concert artists in America. He invaded his native State of Georgia where in the presence of 5000 souls he won one of the greatest triumphs of his remarkable career. The unusual thing about it is that it was a mixed southern audience giving him the greatest ovation of his life possibly. Moving on we find him singng in Milwaukee to a crowd that packed the Pabst, even chairs were placed in the orchestra pit and on the stage. Not long since Klempener conducting the New York Symphony Orchestra in Mecca Auditorium, had Roland Hayes as sobist in the aria, "Si Mios la tra sàre" (Mozart) and a group of Spirituals. Mark you, Emilio de Gogorza followed in a concert program at the same place the following Sunday afternoon, singing Glica's aria "Diane Impetoyable," from "Iphigenic en Aulide." Last Sunday afternoon Roland Hayes was acclaimed in a rare program in Symphony Hall, Boston Mass. the abode of great artists. Roland Hayes is justly famous. properly appraise the work of the living. One of the addresses struck the keynote of the day when the young speaker declared that "It requires gratitude to keep friends. They cannot be retained when too soon forgotten. The Negro has always had not so many, but the best of white friends. They have represented the cream of scholarship and statesmanship." She lauded the leadership of the race's great benefactors who have passed on and then declared that present-day friends like Rosenwald, Mary White Ovington, Mary McDowell, Helen Barrett Montgomery, James Dillard Dyer, William J. Schefflein, Anson Phelps Stokes, Theorede and Frank Noyes, Clarence Darrow, Roger Baldwin and hundreds of others are doing as much in this day to aid the Negro in his second emancipation as did those who gave their lives for his physical freedom. The student orators for the day were: Hazel MacCalla, Connetcet; Doris Haywood, New york; Esther Bean, Bradley; Miss Hazel, MacCalla, excelled body. Miss Hazel, MacCalla, excelled Continued from page (1) seems. The money is an absolute gratuity simply handed to these trustees without any strings on it. "A measure of this sort is not necessary for the cause of Negro education. The Negro Yearbook, 1918-19, reports that since 1865 religious and philanthropic organizations had up to that time contributed $63,500,000 to Negro education in the South. The Negroes themselves had contributed $30,00,000. Negro institutions in the country in 1919 had an endowment total of about $10,000,000. This has been very largely increased since 1919. Within the last year or so the press has announced gifts to Negro education totalling about $8,000,000. Wilberforce University at Wilberforce, Ohio, reported in 1919 an increase of $175,000 with 487 students. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, reported an income of $282,480, with about 1,800 students. These two institutions and others are living, proof of the fact that Negro education can be supported and can flourish without illegal appropriation from the Federal Treasury and hurtful paternalistic pampering. "In addition to this many of the great universities of the country are open for Negro as well as for white students. The Negro, Year Book lists some 35 Negro students who have made Phi Beta Kappa at these universities. "With all this decumulated wealth, with the great progress the race has made in intelligence and regard for education, with Howard University's own 6,112 graduates scattered throughout the country and the world, and with its 2,000 students annually, it is impossible to believe that the institution is dependent on this kind of government paternalism for its own life and best usefulness. "And add to this the fact that it is as easy today to get voluntary contributions to Negro education as to any other one line of philanthropy in America. Witness the speedy success of the recent campaign to raise $5,000,000 for Tuskegee and Hampton." "We have shown, from the Government and from two other single sources, Howard University has received about $5,000,000 in addition to all its normal income and many smaller contributions; one, for instance, from Mr. Carnegie, for $50,000. It has a magnificent plant and an enthusiastic student body. "Howard has come thus far through the munificence of the Congress in illegally, appropriating to a private institution money taxed from the people for Government expenses. The time has now come not that burden should be permanently fastened on the Government in a way to insure its constant growth as a vicious paternalistic proposition but that the school should be given an opportunity to live and work of its own right, by its own strength, and in its own way. Quotes League "The Howard Welfare League, composed of alumni, parents of students, and citizens interested in the progress of the Negro race, are protesting vigorously against the present method of using the funds and directing the affairs of the institution. They assert that with all the government aid and philanthropic donations given to Howard it still costs twice as much for a student to attend the institution as it costs in Tuskegee, and other great Negro colleges of the South. "The league asserts that the university has degenerated into a political machine and that Congress would better appropriate no funds than to have those funds misused as has been done in the past." Further the report says, "Now, the money which this Congress appropriates is not our own. It belongs to the payees and is entrusted (to us) to payers for governmental purposes. The uses to which we may put it are prescribed by law. The maintenance of an institution like this does not come within a thousand leagues of the uses prescribed. Have we a right to pass this bill fastening upon the Congress an abuse which it has so long practiced illegally?" The president of the Howard Welfare League is Arthur W. Mitchell, of 1232 U Street, Northwest. them all. She is a first Normal student. She "brought home the bacon" for her class and as a reward will be the guest of honor at a student banquet to be given by the other classes. The music was up to the Training School standard. Many friends came out to witness the program. Telegrams and letters were received from friends in and out of the city commending Miss Burroughs for inaugurating Appreciation Day. It was a gala day and its value was very evident. THE DANIEL'S MUSIC CLUB HAS FINE PROGRAM The Daniel's Music Club met on the second Sunday in February at 4:00 p.m. The president Mrs. Ernice Fantroy called the meeting to order, and as usual opened with prayer. The minutes of the previous meetings were read and received. All were quite pleased to have Prof. R. J. Daniel present after a temporary absence. The following program was rendered: 'Way Down Upon de Swanee River, by Daniel's Music Club; Ill Trovatore, Master Irving Simple; Twilight on River, Miss Ruth Dabney; Love Waltz, Mrs. Lena Hodges; Polonaise, Miss H. V. Lewis; Sunset on the Hills, Mrs. Eliza Carter. After the rendition of the musical part of the program we were very greatly pleased and benefited by hearing Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, the speaker of the evening discourse on Douglass and Dunbar. She also gave us some points on elocation and a dramatic recitation entitled, "The Faithful Wife." Church and Sunday School "INHERENT WORTH OF HUMAN LITE" Subject of Sermon at Lincoln Congregational Temple At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks, will speak from the subject, "The Inherent Worth of Human Life." What are some of the real values of life? How can we properly estimate our true worth? The greatest danger of this generation of inherent worth has led to the inevitable fallacy of a superior materialism. Shall we go on cheapening human life or shall we exalt it to its proper position? You are invited to hear this discourse. Mrs. A. C. Brooks will sing at the morning service. The Christian Endeavor society will meet in 6:45 p.m. The Progressive Bible Class meets each Sunday morning at ten o'clock. JOHN WESLEY A. M. E. ZION CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday, the pastor, Dr. H. T. Medford, of John Wesley, A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, Northwest, preached from 1st Peter, 5th Chapter, 7th verse; "Casting all your care upon Him; for he careth for you." At 7:45 p.m, his subject was "The King's Highway." Bishop E. D. W. Jones, Dr. C. A. Thompson, and Rev. J. B. Easley, were present and assisted in the services. Miss Hester Stripling of Duffefield, West Va., Miss Opie Emerson, of New Rochelle, N.Y., and Miss Lucy Simms of this city were received for membership. Collection for the day totaled $206.58. A RELIGIOUS DEBATE The Community Christian Endeavor recently conducted a debate as to Elijah's probable return to earth as John the Baptist, at Odd Fellows Hall at Dunbarton Avenue and 28th Street, Northwest. Competent speakers stressed the arguments for both sides of the monsted question under the supervision of President Pickett and Rev G. A. Parks. During the intermission while the judges were passing upon the merits of the arguments, N. H. Hedgeman rendered some very pleasing violin numbers. PEOPLES TO HAVE RALLY The Peoples' Congregational Church will conduct a pew rally and musical program next Sunday. Rev. James Brown is pastor in charge. Miss F. Thomas is organist. CHOIR IN SUNDAY MUSICALE The Men's Progressive Club of the 18th Street Presbyterian Church of which T.H. Cahanats is president, will present the choir in a musical on Sunday afternoon, March 14. Miss Josephine Muse will direct the program. She is of the staff of the Washington School of Music. Local artists will present the cantata "The Vision of Deborah." W. H. Beverly is chairman of the committee of arrangements. GROUP No. 2 OF METROPOLITAN B. Y, P. U. ENTERTAINS A reception was given by Group No. 2, B. Y. P.

CARD OF APPRECIATION It is with a deep sense of gratitude to those who manifested their interest in my well-being while I was sick that I hereby express my appreciation for the many kindnesses which I enjoyed. I tender my thanks to those who called to inquire about my condition; to those who brought refreshments; and to those who asked of me over the 'phone. The solitude which my own members evinced surpassed my fondest expectations, while their tangible expressions of love and sympathy cause me to feel more keenly my obligation to do the best I can as the days go by. But my sympathizers and friends were not limited to members of my own church; for members of other churches, teachers in the Parker-Gray School, and brethren of the ministry—all expressed in different ways their interest and sympathy. Besides, the children of the grade which I teach came and inquired of my condition, brought tangible expressions of sympathy and appreciation, and expressed their wish for my speedy recovery. To all these, my friends, I tender To all these, my friends, I tender my sincere thanks, and wish for them a happy, healthy, and successful life. (Roy.) A. W. ADKINS.

PETER LOCAL TEACHERS MAKE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION The National Education Association, department of Superintendence is in convention in Washington this week with an attendance of about 15,000 educators of high rank or important influence from every State in the Union. Among the visitors are many Negroes prominent in educational circles. Washington, through the Columbian Educational Association have been specially interested in the social welfare of these visitors. In addition to courtesies directed to this especial group, the organization compiled a special edition of their official organ "The Journal" which was distributed to every delegate in attendance at the session of the department of Superintendence session on Tuesday, after Prof. Boynton, the chairman had made an announcement concerning the publication which was drawn to the attention of the visitors as a "tribute to Dr. Frank W. Ballon and his interest in Negro education." The Journal for this issue is a 56-page publication with an India vellum cover in three colors. Eleven pages were devoted to dignified quarter page advertising of educational institutions or supplies and professional cards. The table of contents lists 29 features including full page pictures and special articles. In all 35 half tone cuts of varying size adorn the journal. Among those pictured are President Coolidge at the Military exhibition drill and contest of High School students; Senator Arthur Capper whose address in Dunbar High School is the initial article; and Supt. Frank Ballou who contributes a letter. Other persons contributed are prominent in divisions 10 to 13 of the District School system. Many of the articles are of highly technical interest and have been prepared with care. The editors declare "The work is altruistic and those who aid in it are altruists, not speculators," thus providing an unusually concise statement of the principles of the publication. M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce School is the Editor with Howard H. Long, Ass't Sup't of the research department as assistant. They have functioned well as Editors.

M. C. A. The Bacharach Giants were represented by Charlie Johnson, the Cubans by Alexandro Pompez, Baltimore Black Sox by Charlie Spedden, the Brooklyn Royals by Nat. Strong, the Lincoln's by Jim Keenan. Colonel Strothers was present to take care of the Harrisburg Giants. Ed.Bolden looked after the Hildale interest and Wilbur Crelin represents the newly admitted Newark Stars. Due to the fact that Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants and the club representing Harrisburg in the New York-Pennsylvania League will both use the same park, the Colonel was not in position to submit dates for his Giants to play at home, nor will he be until March 8. In order to get the Harrisburg dates, the schedule committee will hold a meeting in Philadelphia March 12 to draft a tentative schedule. Although he possibly doesn't know what it's all about Pedro San, who is classed as a Cuban ball player, but really hails from San Domingo has started something in the Eastern Circuit. San who is a pitcher, was lineed up by Alex Pompez last spring to make the trip to the "States" with the Cuban Stars, but the immigration authorities at San Juan, Porto Rico, from whence he sought passage threw a wrench into the works by the one-year-resident rule. San has hung around the seaport town since last spring and is now eligible to leave the islands, but aside from Pompez's claim of priority to the services of Pedro, the newly formed Newark team is claiming they have landed San. The matter had to be tabled until the next meeting because Pompez exhibited a letter from San that was penned in Spanish and no interpreter was present. Ed. Bolden has signed Charlie Henry the right-hand pitcher who for the past three seasons has played with the Harrisburg Giants. Henry, however, got his start in fast company with the Hildale team in 1922.

MOREHOUSE WINS TWO MOREHOUSE WINS TWO Morgan College Defeats Hampton in Basketball Morgan "LANKY" JONES STAR OF GAME Hampton, Va., Feb. 24—The Morgan College quintet surged down upon the Hampton Institute "Seadisers" last Saturday evening and for the first time this season local fans saw the thrice champions of the Golored Intercollegiate Athletic Association bow in defeat to a better basketball team. The score was 34 to 18. "Lanky" Jones, Morgan center, was the star of the game. His one-handed handling of the ball thrilled the fans. He came through with five cleam-cut shots and divided scoring honors with Hill, the Morgan captain. Close behind Jones and Hill was Clark, who registered three goals from the floor and two from the foul line. At the beginning of the game Morgan took the ball and like a flash, "Lanky" Jones came through with a field goal. Clark followed making the count 4-0. Payne fouled on "Savage" Brown, who made Hampton's first point. Hill and Young each tallied from the floor for Morgan before Lambright could make the count 8-3 and add another point - when Hill fouled. Hargrove narrowed the margin with a goal from the floor. The Bear's center shot a basket from the floor and "Savage" Brown made a free throw. Jones and Hill dropped in a couple of double-deckers. Alexander was ushered in and soon accounted for a basket. Lambright hurled Jones a swift pass and the latter registered. Payne sank one for the Bears and Clark ended the scoring for that session with two throws from the 15-foot line. The books were chalked at 18-11 in favor of Morgan. The last stanza found the going rapid. Hill was the first to count and the score was 20-11. Alexander received a pass from "Cutie" Brown in the corner and scored again. Young and Lambright tallied for their respective teams and "Lanky," Clark, and Hill each added a basket for Morgan to put her into a 28-15 yead. "Lanky" then dribbled down the center and shot. Captain Jones ended Hampton's recording with a double and single-decker while Hill added another basket for the Bears. # ampton(18) Morgan(34) Brown.E.E. R.F. Hill(c) Lambright L.F.

The latest case is that of "Lanky" Jones, Morgan College center, who is perhaps the greatest college basketball ball star of the present season. His teammate, "Rap" Wheatley, was permitted to play both college and semi-pro basketball. Under the circumstances, it was but natural that "lanky" Jones should join the ranks of semi-professionals. He has now become a member of the Athenians of Baltimore. He and "Rap" Wheatley, however, play on the Morgan College quintet. Criticism should not be directed at the boys for playing professional basketball. Rather it should be directed at the schools that permit their students to play on their school teams after they have once entered the ranks of semi-professionals. But it ill becomes schools that play semi-pro clubs to bar students from their teams because they play on those semi-pro clubs. Colleges should take the initiative in repelling the invasion of professionalism into the ranks of scholastic sports by putting a ban on games with semi-professional clubs. Then the student, who loses his amateur standing by engaging in semi-professional games, should be barred from participation in interscholastic sports.

Hubbard, running in the semi-final of this event, first established a new record of 6 4-5 seconds. In the final he then equalled his newly set record. The previous record of 7 seconds flat was made by Lawson Robertson in 1908. This record was equalled in 1913 by Howard Drew, and again in 1914 by Loren Murchison. Hubbard however, who tried the "irgn man" stunt of entering a number of events, did not fare so well in one of his other attempts. He was defeated by George Plansky of Georgetown in the 50-yard low hurdles, Plansky ran the race in 6 1-5 seconds. Hubbard made his new record in soft soled shoes, spikes being barred.

Young Hampton, Va., Feb. 24—History repeated itself here last Thursday when the Morehouse quintet repulsed a deadly last-half rally but the Seasiders at Hampton Institute and took the seventh consecutive game in six years, 21-20. Hampton, clinging to the trailler end of a 15-3 score at the opening of the final session, charged defiantly and, led by Alexander, Lambright, and "Cutie" Brown, challenged her opponents and for a short while led. But Morehouse was destined to take another game from the C. I. A. A. champions, and, with two minutes remaining, her pilot and stellar guard, Bailey, received the oval in midcourt, advanced a step, and then shot. The ball struck the front side of the rim, rolled to the reverse side, hesitated, and then fell through for the necessary two points to win the game. The first half was the queerest seen here since Lincoln left Hampton tailing on a 19-2 count—half-time in 1924. The customary dash and speed exhibited by the Seasiders was absent. Hampton received the tap but within a few minutes Traylor had begun the scoring with an one-handed overhead shot. Sykes contributed three double-deckers during this period, Bailey two, Archer one, and Clark a foul shot to give the Georgians their fifteen points. For Hampton, "Savage" Brown offered one basket and Hargrove dropped a free throw. The half ended with the score 15-3 in favor of the Atlanta lads. The last period found the Seasiders anious. "Cutie" Brown sank one from mid-court. But Trayler got revenge for the Maroon, by caging one. Alexander and "Cutie" registered free throws, and the former returned a double-decker. Lambright and Alexander reduced Morehouse's lead with a couple of foul shots, and the books read 17-11. Trayler added a point to the Maroon score and "Cutie" did as much for Hampton besides heaving a long double-decker. Bailey carried the score to 19-16 with a foul shot, but Alexander's basket put the Blue and White within one point of the Georgians. With about three minutes to play, Lambright dropped one through the strings. "Hampton was leading 20-19. Along came Bailey with his epoch-making basket which put the Morehouse team ahead. The curtan was MOREHOUSE 51; A. & T. 19 Greensboro, N.C., Feb. 24—The Morehouse College five continued its contemplated conquest of the East tonight when it walloped the crack Greensboro A. & T. five, the final count being 51-19.

The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM For the Family tonight JOE MEADE MAKES RECORD AS RIGGER Washington contains a number of useful and substantial citizens whose worth remains undisclosed unless some one inadvertently stumbles upon the unusual character of the contribution they are making in a quiet way to the general progress of their Race. Joseph Meade is typical of the sort of men whose works speak for them, but who know nothing of publicity, or self praise. He does not even know of this story. Incident to the installation of a new press to meet the growing needs of this publication and its readers, the Merchants Transfer and Storage Company was called upon to arrange for the removal of some inadequate machinery from the Murrays Brothers printing plant to make room for the new Goss straight-line press that has been contracted for and will be installed in the near future. Joseph Bailey, superintendent of packing and shipping for the concern called to discuss the operation. He has been with the big concern for 43 years, slowly advancing to this place of importance. The Tribute owners have long been patrons of the Transfer company, and he made a personal call that ordinarily have been the function of Joseph Meade, a Colored rigging foreman. In the process of his explanation of a rigger's duties and the degree of skill involved, Mr. Bailey expressed the highest regard for the personal character and unusual abilities of Mr. Meade, one of three brothers who have been in the company employ. Meade has been more than 25 years in the service. He is credited with being the most competent rigger in the district, and he supervises a crew that has done many wonderful jobs of erection of machinery, smoke stacks, bridge and structural steel and stairway. He has installed approximately three fourths of all the statues in Statuary Hall in the Capitol. He erected the Manhattan smoke stack that stands 125 feet high. He installed, with his crew for the Hoe Press Company the big presses in the Munsey building. In addition to being the directing genius on such jobs as these and many minor ones in the city, he has been sent by his employers all over the country to do similar jobs; and very often gone in advance of his crew to estimate requirements, charges and facilities for the work submitted.

Y. W. C. A. SEEKING $10,000 The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., 901 Rhode Island Avenue, begins a campaign of fund raising on March 1 that will continue until the fifteenth in an effort to raise $10,000 for maintenance and extension work. Members of board of directors will function as captains of teams charged with obtaining donations. Those named for this service are: Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. S. S. Thompson, Mrs. William H. Foster, Mrs. N. L. Proctor, Mrs. Anna M. Warner, Mrs. Chas. Marshall, Miss Estelle Pinkney, Miss B. Smith, Mrs. Cornelia V. Lewis, and Mr. Grady G. Kirkland. The National Benefit Insurance Company has given two captains from its staff;—are there not other organizations who will do likewise? Other Y. W. C. A. News The High School Girl Reserves were favored with an interesting lecture on India and its customs by Mine. Sukhoda Banerjee, at its meeting last Tuesday. The Phyllis Wheatley club girls are selling candy for their conference fund. Other clubs will launch their plans for raising conference money shortly. The Girl Reserve Conference is held in the spring and takes in girls from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington. We want to have a good representation. A cordial invitation to join the Girl Reserves is extended to all girls in graded and high schools. Among the visitors stopping here are Mme. Sukhoda Banerjee, who is interested in Missionary work, Miss Frances McIntree, a nurse of Boston is in charge of one of five such crews constantly engaged in such work, and according to this superintendant is the dean of them all. The Merchants Transfer and Storage Co. employs about five hundred people, more than half of whom are Negroes. It is a remarkable distinction to be held as the most competent in one's line of business, especially when that vocation calls for intricate knowledge and executive ability. It is still more remarkable to have one in authority proud to proclaim it to the world.

The world's most astounding picture, just completing a successful run at the President Theatre opens at the Howard Theatre, starting Sunday, February 28th for the entire week. "The Lost Battalion," a most stupendous picturization of the sublimest episode in the annals of American heroism, romance and reality resented by the heroes themselves and a big cast of motion picture stars which include Gaston Glass, Blanch Davenport, Helen Ferguson, Marion Coakley and other stars. "The Lost Battalion" is an authentic story. It depicts the assembling in New York City of the glorious band of heroes from every walk of life. The millionaire's son, the intrepid hurglar, America's unfailing Colored troops, the humble Jewish boy, the Italian fruit peddler. The Chinese laundry man all fused in one reckless daredevil fighting machine, leaving homes, parents and sweethearts. The dreadful pocket. The aeroplane over head, the "Rumers" endeavoring to get through the deadly "Snipers" and the final rescue of Cher Ami, the carrier pigeon. The management announces the maintenance of its policy a continuous performance daily from 3 to 11 p.m., making four complete shows 3-5-7 and 9 o'clock. Admission to all 10 cents at all times. POLA NEGRI in "FLOWER OF THE NIGHT" AT THE BROADWAY Starting Sunday 'till Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present Pola Negri in her perfect picture "Flower of the Night," written especially for her by Joseph Hergesheimer, whose romantic tales are familiar to all readers of the Saturday Evening Post and to all lovers of good novels. The story offers Miss Negri one of the greatest roles of her career, flaming, tempestuous and romantic. You will find so many exciting spots in this wonderful photoplay, that it will be hard to tell or decide within yourself which is the best—a powerful hydraulic jet washing away the side of a hill to glean its gold, the exciting scenes of the big dance hall, the attack of the armed troops of Vigilantes, or the crooked work of the sinister politicians and their ruffians against the hero, the only protector of the mines. These scenes make this one of the best all-round shows of the season. On Tuesday, Virginia Valli and Stuart Holmes in a glamorous tale of rich society and an American girl's adventure "In Every Woman's Life." Wednesday and Thursday a trip to Paris with Clara Bow, Alyce Mills, Donald Keith and all-star cast in "Parisian Love." The week will end on Friday and Saturday with Elaine Hammerstein, and Lou Tellegen, supported by John Patrick and Phyllis Haver in "After Business Hours," a story that will will your eyes with every turn of the film. A GREAT FRIENDSHIP A GREAT FRIENDSHIP "The Friendship of Jonathan and David" has been regarded as a demonstration of the highest in human friendship. Jonathan was the son of Saul, King of Israel; David was a rudy shepherd boy among the tribes of Israel. When the great Goliath, leader of the Philistines defied the Israelites, it was "little David" who stepped to the front and with no weapon but a sling-shot, killed the Philistine giant. The women sung his praise, Saul became jealous and seeks the life of the youth, who saved Israel at a crucial hour. Jonathan intervenes and saves David from his father's wrath. Jonathan is a young man who stood between his father and a friend. Lincoln Theatre, March 3rd and 4th. The complete story will be dramatically brought out in song and action in the rendition of Saul, King of Israel. REPUBLIC THEATER REPUBLIC HISTORY Sunday and Monday, February 28, to March 1.

Fay Lanphier, who was judged the most beautiful girl in America at the annual Atlantic City beauty pageant, plays the title role, and in addition, a number of the other entrants have minor roles in the film. However, the chief acting burden is carried by Esther Ralston, Lawrence Gray and Ford Sterling. The picture, under the expert direction of Frank Tuttle, has been produced on a magnificent scale. A gorgeous fashion show, a series of artistic tableaux, scenes in technical, an exciting motorcycle race and some daredevil airplane stunts are some of the outstanding highlights of the production.

Infant mortality is far too high, over 75 per cent of which can be traceable to errors in dieting. In spite of the commendable progress of various health movements, there are yet vast borders of people who do not appreciate their values, knowledge of these values being largely confined to scientific and medical men, who constitute only a very small fraction of the population. There are numerous conditions incident to infancy, this being a very susceptible period of life, notably among which are intestinal or diarrhoeal conditions and rickets. Improper infant feeding plays no small role in the causation of both conditions. It should be the concern of every mother to observe carefully the weight and growth of her baby. Stationary weight and progressive loss of weight should be danger signals warranting the attention of expert medical advice. The consideration of intestinal or diarrheal conditions is one of grave concern. These conditions are attended by frequent and loose evacuations of the bowels, due largely to a constant administration of too great quantity of sugars, carbohydrates, and fats. The infant is taken suddenly ill with vomiting or frequent bowel movements. Possibly the first things to be noted by the observant mother will be a progressive loss in weight and a refusal to nurse on the infant's part. The mother should secure advice from the baby Clinic of from the visiting district nurse as regards dieticet measures, as most of these conditions respond favorably to proper food administration. - Another problem of grave import and one against which the profession has waged war with a favorable degree of success has been that of rickets. This is a chronic disease of nutrition 80 per cent of infants showing definite lesions. The causative factors are not definitely known, however, it is generally agreed that inadequate and improper foods, are motivating causes. The careful mother can easily detect when something is wrong with her baby. She should observe whether there are extreme restlessness and head-sweating at night. These are early signs, rarely, if ever, absent. Rickets per se seldom causes death, however, it predisposes strongly to many acute diseases during the first two years of life. A sound body makes a sound mind, start the infant off right so that it will grow up into a healthy and useful citizen.

Bishops to Give Scholarship for Higher Training Bishops to Give Scholarship for Higher Training Atlanta, Ga.; Feb. 15—The "Class of 1908," of bishops elected in the A. M. E. Church, will soon make an award of a scholarship for higher study in one of the leading universities of the country. For many years this class has given $500 a year to a man of high character, scholarly attaintments, who had taken an approved college course, and who wished to pursue a higher course leading to S. T. B. or A. M. or Ph.D in any one of the best American Universities. The bishops who have supplied these funds are Bishops H. E. Parks, of Oakland, Calif.; J. S. Flipper, of Atlanta, Ga.; J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia; and W. H. Heard, of Philadelphia; They will meet this week at New Orleans to discus. the nevt man to be awarded the scholarship. BITTER FIGHT LOOMING OVER CONFIRMATION OF LAWYER JAMES A. COBB Continued from page (1) weakness in his home state, it is claimed William H. Lewis, who deserted the Republican party at the last election, and worked for Davis, the Democratic nominee, put the proposition up to Mr. Butler that if he (Butler) would urge the President to name Mr. Cobb for the judgeship, he (Lewis) would return to the Republican party and support Mr. Butler for nomination and election. Negotiations for Lewis' return to the G. O. P. being made through Rienzi B. Lemus, a new leader in Massachusetts. Realizing the importance of the Negro vote in the Bay State especially in a close election and, also realizing that Lewis is more of a leader in Massachusetts than the now favorite son, Clarence Matthews, it is claimed Mr. Butler fell for this argument and thereby threw his support to Attorney Cobb with the now successful result. Not Pleased. While this alleged bargain of Lewis was accepted by Senator Butler, many Negroes in Massachusetts it is claimed are not at all pleased with it and have voiced themselves as opposed to his actions. The selection of Mr. Cobb was directly over the heads of all local Republican leaders, Mr. Cobb not having the endorsement of any organized political body here. Indeed one glance at the lengthy release sent out by the Cobb forces last week would show that 90 per cent of Attorney Cobb's strength came from without the city. Outside influence is always a touchy spot in District politics and it was at this spot that Attorney Cobb literally bore down. The nomination of Mr. Cobb has placed the local Republicans in a very peculiar position, however. Although opposing Mr. Cobbs confirmation, they cannot come out in the open with their fight because it is not considered healthy to oppose the expressed will of the President. However, this does not prevent them from seeking the support of Southern Democrats and anti-administration Senators. Southern Objection The nomination of Attorney Cobb for the Municipal judgesity has been referred to a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee composed of Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois, and Rice W. Means of Colorado, Republicans and William H. King of Utah, Democrat. This committee met Monday but up to that date, no protest had been received against Mr. Cobb. However, from other sources at the Capitol, a Tribune reporter learned that Mr. Cobb's record had been sent for. It is claimed that a block of Southern Senators will oppose Attorney Cobb on the ground that he is an Attorney for the N. A. A. C. P. These Southerners claim that to appoint a man affiliated with this organization will be just as objectionable to them as the appointment of a "nigger-hating white man" would be to the colored element of the population of the District. These Senators it is further claimed, will state that if the Republicans will name a man not so affiliated, they will readily vote for his confirmation. Many citizens think that Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Butler are playing shrewd politics in the matter. That is, satisfying two groups with the one appointment. Now that Mr. Lewis has been won to Butler by the nomination, which was solely up to President Coolidge, the lack of confirmation could not by any means be charged back to Mr. Butler or President Coolidge, certainly since Mr. Coolidge has had such bad luck in getting his nominees confirmed. He has suffered more defeats in this respect than any of his predecessors in recent years. So, if Mr. Cobb is turned down by the Senate, it will then give President Coolidge an opportunity to come back and appoint a man acceptable to the local Republican organization who has always been faithful and regular. Many charges of a serious nature were filed against Mr. Cobb before he was nominated. Whether these will all be aired in the Senate cannot now be foretold. Mr. Cobb's friends are earnestly hoping he will not receive the fate of the late Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson. Philadelphia, Feb. 24.—Judge Edward W. Henry, who was recently appointed as the successor of the late Amos Scott, by Governor Pinchot, will be tendered a reception by the citizens of Philadelphia, at the First African Baptist Church on March 2. Judge Henry is the president of the Pennsylvania State Association I. B. P. O. E. of W. and is a member of the O. V. Catto Lodge of Philadelphia. The judge is well known throughout the country among the Bills and it is pleasing to his many friends to know that he is making such a fine member of the minor judiciary of the Quaker City. Speeches at the reception will be made by Charles H. Brooks, John A. Sparks, J. Austin Norrls, B. G. Collins, Rev C. A. Tindley, Rev C. S. Freneman, M. R. R. Wright, Isador Martin, Judges Edward Carney and F. X. O. Connor. Music will be furnished by the choir of the First African Baptist Church of which Rev W. A. Harrod, D. D. is pastor. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1926 LENTEN TIME BEGINS Many Social Courtesies to Priest The holy season of Lent is again at hand, and our Holy Mother of the Catholic Church urges us to penance by the voice of her priests. K. 1927 Truly Lent is a time for penance, mortification and self-denial. Worldly pleasures and amusements should be cast aside, and all our efforts directed toward the sanctification of our souls. The Stations of the Cross which are held in all the Catholic churches on Friday afternoons and evenings form a most appealing devotion for the holy season of Lent. This devotion has been instituted as a means of helping us profitably to meditate upon the sufferings of Our Lord and to waken in us sympathy for Him and a horror of sin, the cause of his sufferings. The first Christians had a deep love and reverence for those places in which our Lord suffered and died. We read of our Blessed Mother following the various ways and steps from the courtroom to Pilate to the hill of Calvary. Devout pilgrims also went to these holy places from all parts of the world. In order to encourage this devotion, our Holy Mother Church granted many and great indulgences to those who visited certain scenes of our Lord's passion in a spirit of devotion and heartfelt sorrow. Many there were who wished to share in this devotion and to partake of the spiritual blessing afforded those who visited such places yet could not do so for many reasons. In order that they should not be deprived of all these blessings, the Church sanctioned and allowed the erection of fourteen pictures representing the scenes of our Lord's passion. These were named "Stations of the Cross." The same indulgences were granted to those who practiced this devotion as to those who actually visited the holy places in Jerusalem. Father Norman A. Duckette, our own priest, has been trying to attend to all the receptions in his honor during his stay in his home town. His engagements during this period included the following: Honor guest Sunday, February 14, at the Council Review office, and filling a long list of other engagements not yet completed. The Council Review is well posted on the locations of the five colored priests in America. A group picture of them in two colors can be secured at the office of the Council Review for the small sum of twenty-five cents HALLIE Q. BROWN SUGGESTED FOR SPINGARN MEDAL The Neighborhood club of Wilberforce college is aggressively advocating the awarding of the Spingarn medal to Miss Hallie Q. Brown. In addition to their own advocacy, the club is sending out a letter to newspapers and other publicity agencies asking that others join them in the request. The loyalty of the organization is to be admired.

A former M Street High School cadet, Edward F. Harris, '09, now connected with the sales department of the Southern Dairies, made the proffer to the school authorities on behalf of Southern Dairies at which time he stated that the white cadets compete annually for six trophies while the colored cadets have but one. He suggested to his firm to make this offer in memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, the last Race man to graduate from West Point Military Academy and the only one to attain the rank of colonel in the regular army. In accepting the trophy, Charles F. Carusi, white member of the Board of Education, stated that he was glad to see some effort being made to perpetuate the memory of Colonel Young under whom he had served as an enlisted man and who was held in the highest esteem by all-commissioned and enlisted personnel alike. Mr. Carusi motioned the acceptance and reference to the Military Committee for its decision as to the nature of the award. The committee will decide whether the trophy will go as a company or battalion award. COL CHARLES YOUNG With the "Colonel Charles Young Trophy" will go three medals, one of gold, one of silver and the other bronze, as the personal property of the commanding officers of the successful company or battalion, which will be supplied annually by the Southern Dairies. The trophy is to remain at the school from the winner comes until the next annual competition. It is believed that the award promotes proficiency in military maneuvers, scholarship, attendance at drill and deportment. Keen interest among the cadets has already been manifested by a strong determination on their part to be the first to win the new award and accompanying medals. It is therefore expected that this year's annual competitive drill will be closer than ever before in history of the cadets. Mrs. Chas. Young Invited It is reported that a local organization of ladies are arranging to invite Colonel's Young's widow to be present at the drill this year and to take part in presenting-the trophy to the first winners. Efforts will be made to make her stay in the city pleasant as well as show to her Washington folks' esteem her late-lamented husband. Colonel Young'during his life often praised our cadet corps.

S. Supreme Court paid a tribute to the faithful long-time service of an attack of the U. S. Supreme Court by attending the funeral services of Eugene Brooks last Wednesday at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The intimate feeling of the family of the late Justice Fuller for whom Mr. Brooks had been confidential messenger for nearly forty years, or until the death of the Justice, was expressed by a handsome floral tribute from Mrs. Hugh Wallace, the daughter of the late Justice. One came from the Supreme Court bench. These tributes were but some of the many that were tendered in person or by emblematic tokens from many different organizations and personages, including tributes from hosts of intimate personal friends. Eugene Brooks died Sunday February 21 and was buried from St. Lukes' Episcopal Church on Wednesday with funeral services conducted by Rev. Thomas J. Brown, the funeral sermon being by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, a friend of thirty years. Miss Estelle Pinkney rendered "O Rest in the Lord." Mr. Brooks was born in Washington in 1849 and has always resided in the city. He passed away at his residence 1842 Thirteenth Street, Northwest. He was married 52 years ago to Miss Oceana Everett, and is survived by the widow, Everette A. Brooks, a son, and a daughter, Mrs. Oceana B. Marshall of Saratoga, N.Y. Their home has always been one that was typical of the finest type of community citizen. Mr. Brooks was that dignified type of man whose hold on life's activities was such as to make him companionable to both the youthful and the mature. His friends were selected from every age group. He was active in fraternal matters and was a 32nd degree Mason; was one of the founders in the Cliff Rock Association, a member of the United Aid Association, the Crispus Attucks Relief Association, and of the Frederick Douglass organization. Mr. Brooks was prominent as an Odd Fellow, was one of the original members of the Oldest Inhabitants association, and was for years the president of the Coleridge Taylor Choral club, and during his incubency, the great composer himself visited Washington to conduct the rendition of his IT WILL GET RESULTS numbers by the finest musical organization of which the city has ever boasted. He was the treasurer and a vestryman of St. Lukes' and had worshipped there since the days of the pastorate of Dr. Alexander Crummell. His passing was no doubt hastened by the death of his eldest son Norman Eugene who died last December. LYCEUM CELEBRATES LINCOLN DOUGLASS DAY The birthday anniversaryes of Lincoln and Douglass were fittingly celebrated by Saint Augustine's Lyceum, at the Holy Name Guild Hall, Thursday, February 18. The guests of honor and principal speakers were: Senior Don C. de Quesada, Councellor of the Cuban Embassy; Father Alonzo J. Ols, pastor of the Church, and Father Norman A. Duckette, just recently ordained to the priesthood in Detroit, and who is now visiting his family here. Among the contributions made to the delightful program was a paper read by J. Arthur Henson. Refreshments in abundance followed. The beautiful favors were the handiwork of Miss Sarah Burns, the president. ASK FOR EQUALITY ON U. S.

Leigh is reported to be managing this act now. Dixie Dandies, a tabloid featuring Catherine Patterson Johnny Lee Long and Rogers completed the bill. The Dunbairn Theatre in Philadelphia had a big show of 32 people in mid-month, with Bessie Smith as the headline attraction. Mason and Henderson staged the attraction which was well filled with good comedy and novelty features. One of the unusual characteristics of the production was the use of two novelty acts on the bill. The Woodens cycle act and the aerial team of Wells and Wells both worked and gathered praise. The latter team went to Pottsville, Pa, with the Orpheum, Newark to follow. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Gilpin Hits Again In "Emperor Jones" The New York Evening Post, the most conservative paper in the Metropolis has the following to say concerning the re-appearance of Charles S. Gilpin at the P. vincetown playhouse in a two-weeks' revival of "The Emperor Jones." "Still the revivals come, the tried and veteran plays double-quicked up from the rear to fill the gaping ranks of the new ones, fast thinned by the withering fire of critical assault and public indifference. "The Provincetown group is the latest to send out a hurry call; and last night it marched in 'The Emperor Jones' without bugle calls, but to the steady beat of back-stage drums, and tented again on the old camp ground of the now famous production. Charles Gilpin had the role he created. "Neither the play nor Gilpin has lost any of the dark magic which bewitched and captured a city away back in the hazy days of 1920. Time cannot touch this masterpiece. "There have been others to play Jones in the intervening years—good actors, too. But when Gilpin lolled on the papier-mache throne last night and cringed beneath the clawing fingers of the jungle trees, one knew that there will never be a rival to approach him. "There is the facility of the dimly educated Negro in him, the quick shifts in mood, the intuitive sense of drama which rises to every occasion. He is at once grandiose, boastful, fearful, prayerful and cringing. The production sees a great actor playing a great role." Ayres Becomes Impressario Presenting Combination Ayres Becomes Impressario Presenting Combination W. C. T. Ayres, the Columbus, Ohio publicity man and fraternal worker has embarked upon the duties of an impressario. He is arranging a tour for the Mabel Jones-Efie Grant Hardy duo. The step is a natural step in the enlargement of the functions of the Ayres' publicity and booking offices that he established at Columbus, Ohio sometime since with his two infant children as stockholders in the corporation thus providing for their future, a novel idea that itself provided national publicity for the clever-minded man. Tentative dates have been made for the principal cities in Ohio, and definite announcement of date for the artists will be announced just as soon as routing has been completed. Miss Jones is a 'graduate of the Vestoff-Serova school of dancing in New York and made her debut in that city where at the time the Billboard proclaimed her as an artist of great promise. In addition to her interpretative dancing, the young lady is an accomplished pianist and singer. She is a rather beautiful young woman of the exotic type and most pleasing personality. Mrs. Effie-Grant Hardy possesses a rich soprano voice of unusual bell-like tones. She was the holder of the Lockwood scholarship at Yale conservatory of music, is an accomplished pianist, and is an instructor in music in the Columbus Public School. She has the distinction of being featured on the first radio program broadcasted from that town when the local station WBAJ was established. Both of this unusual pair of artists are well connected socially. Mrs. Hardy being the wife of the local Y, M. C. A. secretary, and Miss Jones being the daughter of Detective Jones of the city police force. Neither are new to the concert platform. With Mr. Ayres' extensive connections of a fraternal, political and theatrical character, there can be no mistake either as to the quality of the program, nor the correctness of the auspices selected in the different towns. There can be no question as to contract fulfillments, and any community that can obtain these artists is assured of an entertainment that is both entertaining and cultural in character. Claire Closed With Sheftel Claire Campbell, the little Hagar-town, Md. girl who has been with the Joe Sheftel Revue for the past two years and has twice accompanied the show to the Pacific coast and back has closed and is resting at 1209 Garfield Ave., Kansas City. Ruth Nash, a Kansas City girl closed at the same time. The girls expect to go to New York later. The show is under contract to play a series of picture house engagements. SECOND SECTION The Washington Tribune News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements "EBONY FOLLIES" IS EXCELLENT SHOW Lively Production at Academy Again Tonight—Jazz Band is Feature (From the Petersburg, Va., Express Index; a daily paper) Feb. 19—The best Negro show that has played in this city in a long, long time, is the only adequate manner to describe S. H. Dudley's Ebony Follies appearing at the Academy of Music. It is a lively production, full of pep, and has more than the average share of specialty dancing, real darktown humor and good music. This is the first appearance of the Ebony Follies since the company was organized, and, considering all things, the players did remarkably well. Lonnie Fisher had the audience in an unroar'most of the time. He is a natural born comedian. His actions were funny but when appearing with Onnie Jones he was at his best. Ozie McPherson rendered some real "blues" singing. Cash and Smith certainly know how to dance. Some of the steps they did seemed impossible. The Ebony Follies Cyclonic Jazz Band added materially to the entertainment, while the chorus was well trained and did some rather strenuous dancing. The Follies is well worth seeing. It has been a long time since a show of this kind has appeared here. The foregoing from a white daily paper reviewing the "Ebony Follies" initial performance before an audience confirms the dress rehearsal review of the show as published in last week's Tribune. The fact that Mr. Dudley had sufficient confidence in his attraction to present it first to a general audience containing both white and colored people, and to play his first stand for two nights, the daring was amply justified by the sort of production he has sent on tour. The "Old Master" is to be congratulated. A Juvenile Producting Concern In D. C. A Juvenile Producting Concern In D. C. A group of ambitious youngsters, none of whom is more than eighteen years of age, and all of whom are school boys, is venturing into the hazardous realms of dramatic and musical comedy production. T. Alfred Scott, Charles West, J.R., and Coleridge Davis have created an organization, tentatively termed the Howard Players, for the purpose of presenting the talented younger group in dramas and musical tabloids. Their group is already up on a musical concert called H "ayo" staged under the direction of Barrington Guy, a local youngster who some few years since appeared with the ill-fortuned Ethiopian Art Players at the Selwyn Theatre, New York; and who has achieved quite a reputation here at home as singer and in local dramatics. The ambitions of the boys have led them into interviews with theatre managers and it is altogether likely that an announcement of an early appearance will be made soon. Sousa And His Band At Tuskegee Tuskegee elnst, Ala, Feb. 24-John Philip Sousa, the great March King, and his famous band of one hundred pieces, rendered a program in the Institute Chapel here Monday and captivated his audience of more than 2,500 students, teachers, and friends of the community. Repeated encores throughout the program indicated the enthusiasm and appreciation with which these master musicians were received. Among Mr. Sousa's own compositions, "Liberty Bell," "U. S. Field Artillery," and the "Stars and Stripes forever," brought forth vigorous applause requesting encores. The special numbers were solos by Majorie Moody. William Tong in cornet solos, the saxophone octet and zyphone solo completed the specialties. Lieut. Commander Sousa conducted the Institute band in one of his compositions "Semper Fidelis." The Institute choir rendered three selections including "Deep River," by Burleigh. Prior to the concert, Mr. Sousa journeyed to the grave of Dr. Washington and laid a wreath thereon as a token of his personal regard for the founder of Tuskegee Institute. OPEN TO NEW PICTURE HOUSES New Orleans, La., Feb. 24—Another moving picture theatre devoted exclusively to colored patrons has been opened on South Rampart Street "The Charleston."

COLORED FILM PLAYERS New Production Concern Begins Business in Philadelphia The Colored Film-Players Corporation is the name of the latest entrant into the picture business that will specialize in films made by Negro artists. David Starkman owner of the Standard Film Exchange is the president of the new concern. Charles McClane of the Douglas Theatre is in charge of publicity and has engaged the professional talent for the first releases. The concern is capitalized at $100,000 and is capitalized by its promoters who are not colored. First Film Finished "The Prince of his Race," the first picture to be released is already finished. It is a seven reel picture running slightly over three thousand feet. Advance information is to the effect that there is no propaganda in the story that would offend either Race. Shinzie Howard, Lawrence Chenault and Bob Henderson are under contract to the firm. The mechanical staff, director, camerman, electricians, etc., were recruited in New York. Lucille Hegamin Gets Praise From Big Dailies Lucille Hegamin who was obliged to disband the act that she and Cyril Fullerton has put together for the big time due to inability to obtain assurance of consecutive bookings, though the salary set was a satisfactory one, closed her company with considerable satisfaction. The big newspapers, especially the dailies, comment in most favorable terms upon the offering. Her personal praises were such as to make one wonder at the Keith bookers delay in providing time, even though the circuit is congested with flash acts, With so many flash bunches being disbanded for the same reason, and with such clippings as these, Miss Hegamin has no reason to be ashamed of her situation. The clippings: The New York Journal says: "A singer who can tease more shades of indigo out of a song than Belle Baker." The New Haven Evening Register says: "The jazz songs of Lucille Hegamin gave the audience fifteen minutes of music which only the darker race can produce." The New Haven Journal-Courier critic remarks that "Miss Hegamin as might be guessed, is a colored artist of rare personality and charm and her well trained voice penetrated every portion of the theatre. It is on rare occasions an artist of her ability is heard outside the places given over to concert programs and lovers of music will do well to hear her." Miss Hegamin and Fullerton have resumed the piano accompanied single singing act. The act is the special added attraction at the Standard in Philadelphia this week. Important to Perform- ers The stationery sent out by the booking offices of the Theatre Owners circuit is now bearing the notice, in heavy red type, "Important! Don't send theatre addresses. ALWAYS send hotel or residence address." This notice is in accord with an arrangement effected between the circuit officials and the Union representative at the annual meeting. The object desired is to reduce the number of lost and delayed communications, obtain more prompt delivery of mail and to minimize the number of times that the expense of telegraphing that is often due to the delay of mail, or to negligent handling of performers letters in many theatres. --- "RUNNIN' WILD" PLAYS MOBILE STAND Lays off week in New Orleans Circuit-Union Agreement Soon in Effect Part of Troop Works in Vaudeville Act Last week the "Runnin' Wild" company piloted by Louis Azorsky, concluded in Texas and went into New Orleans for an engagement. Booking congestion however, obliged a cancellation of the playing date. To fill the gap in the time, five of the bunch were presented at the Lyric Theatre as an added feature to the vaudeville bill under the title of the "Charleston Revue." Aurora Greely, Pete Nugent, Gordon Wilson, George McArthur and Albert Jackson composed the fast dancing group of performers in the act. The show as a whole is booked into Mobile for three days this week and goes back on the time at Birmingham te week of Marc 1. It will probably be the last show to play Mobile as the house there is not a franchise holder on the T. O. B. A.
