MASONIC TEMPLE TO BE SOLD Dr. J. Stanley Durkee Resigns Presidency of Howard to Fill Pulpit of Brooklyn Church FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 40 MASO Dr. J. Stanley Presidency Pulpit ALUMNI WANT COLORED PRESIDENT News Made Public First in Brooklyn Rather than at School James Stanley Durkee, by his own statement, made in Brooklyn, N.Y., last Sunday will cease to be president of Howard University on June 1 and on July 1 will become pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church in the big New York Borough. It is not strange that the announcement of a fact that has long been generally accepted should be made other than at Howard. To have given the first official confirmation of the report at the school would have been according the University too much courtesy under the circumstances. Dr. Durkee has been at Howard since July 1, 1918, the closing years of his regime have been stormy ones, and the alumnae have bitterly sailed his administration. However, it is believed that he has had the full support of the trustees in his conduct of the office of president. The question of a successor has not been publicly passed upon though it is altogether likely that the board fully familiar with the situation has at least set down its policy on the matter. Dr. Durkee said this morning that he had sent his resignation to the president of the board, Dr Charles R. Brown, dean of the school of religion of Yale University, some days ago, but in view of his purpose to continue as head of the university until June, local members of the board said no meeting had yet been called to consider the matter of his successor. Alumni Want Colored Head "The students at Howard University need someone of their own race at the head of the institution." Dr. W. C. McNeil, president of the Medical Alumni Association of Howard University made this statement last night in opening the campaign of the alumni of the institution to have the board of trustees name a colored man to the presidency of Howard. Dr. McNeil declared: "A colored president could do much to promote a sense of race justice at the school. I can see no reason why a colored man should be discriminated against at an institution that is solely for the education of colored youth." Among those suggested for the post are: Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; Garnet C. Wilkinsn, first assistant superintendent of schools in charge of the divisions; Dr. L. Leroy Locke, editor of the New Negro; Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard; Ernest Just, scientist, and several other members of the Howard faculty. Personal History of Dr. Durkee A native of Nova Scotia, Dr. Durkee graduated from Bates College and took his theological degree at Boston University. His first pastorate was at Auburn, Me. He later preached in Boston, and was pastor of the South Congregational Church in Brockton, Mass., when asked to become head of Howard University. He is a thirty-second degree Mason and Knight Templar. He is one of the directors of the National and International Society of Christian Endeavor and a trustee of several social service organizations. Is Able Preacher Though his occupancy of many pulpits during the time of his connection with the university, Dr. Durkee has gained a reputation as one of the ablest preachers in the city. He is also a writer and lecturer, his works including "In the Footsteps of a Friend," "In the Meadows of Memory," and "God Translated." Pleasure Hour Whist Club Entertained The Pleasure Hour Whist Club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Horace G. Askins at 140 S Street, Northwest, on Wednesday evening, March 3. Progressive whist was played. First prize, was won by Mr. Horace Gaskins and Mr. Charles Hemphill. Members of the club are: Mrs. C. V. Roy, Mr. Manning, Mr. and Mrs. Hemphill, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Gaskins, and Miss Sarah Allen. Guests were: Mrs. Lydia Jervay, Mrs. Maude Lewis, Mr. Harold Jervay and Mr. Berry. The Washington Tribune CORONER'S JURY HOLDS WOOLRIDGE'S SLAYER FOR DISTRICT GRAND JURY BOB CHURCH IN CONTROL OF TENN.G.O.P. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn. has frustrated "ily-white" Republicans in their efforts to depose J. Will Taylor, Republican National Committee an for Tennessee. Lon Seco, Hal H. Clements, Fred Arn, C. H. Huston, Wynne F. Clouse, John Q. Haton and Quarry (Speers, members of the Southern Republican League, sought to gain control of Tennessee patronage, which is being dispensed by Representative Taylor. These men exacted a compromise from National Committeeman Taylor. When Mr. Church learned of this, he appealed to Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee, calling attention to the facts that these men were members of the Southern Republican League, which is opposed to the participation of colored persons in Republican affairs and were his bitter political enemies. Senator Butler wired Mr. Church in response as follows: "Congressman Taylor's status and privileges as a member of the National Committee have not been changed. He voluntarily offered to submit the question of whether or not there should be a referee in his place to the state committee. If the news papers have carried anything contrary to this statement, you are at liberty to use this telegram." AGED NATIVE CITIZEN DIES WAS SECOND GENERATION OF FAMILY BORN IN THIS CITY GEORGE A. CHASE HAD MANY FRATERNAL CONNECTIONS George A. Chase, one of the venerable old landmaks of the city passed away at his residence, 1633 Tenth Street, Northwest. Friday February, 26. He was 85 years of age having been born, the youngest son of Thomas and Harriet Chase on September 19, 1841. His parents were likewise Natives of this city. Mr. Chase spent his entire career in the District. The funeral was conducted from Plymouth Congregational Church on Monday afternoon. Rev. James O. Olden, conducted the burial service assisted by Rev. Millbanks and Rev. Medford. Mrs. Ida Howard and Mrs. Maude Jones rendered appropriate vocal numbers as part of the ceremonies. Mr. Chase is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Addie Green, well known in Women organizations, another daughter, Mrs. Harriet Gray, Past Royal Matron of Ruth Chapter O. E. S. and a son Bryson Chase of the office staff of the Solicitor of the Treasury department. Early in life he was wedded to Miss Sarah Tinney, of another of Washington's pioneer families. For many years Mr. Chase was identified with the famed Washington Light Infantry, an aristocratic national guard organization. The deceased was concerned with many community interests and was a member of many local fraternal and benevolent organizations, among them being John F. Cooke Lodge of Odd Fellows where he had been a member for 35 years; the John Mar- WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1926 A coroner's jury last Monday ordered Mrs. Bessie Elizabeth Alexander, 24, of the Montgomery Apartments, 512 U Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the killing of DeVoia Woolridge, 26, who was rooming in her apartment. Mrs. Alexander shot Woolridge about 1:30 p.m., last Saturday, with a 38 caliber pistol. The bullet entered the left breast just above the heart. Death was almost instantaneous. Woolridge was pronounced dead upon his arrival at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. Clarence A. Gillot, an interne. He was taken there in "Freck" Boone's automobile. The shooting resulted from an argument between Mrs. Alexander and Woolridge, 26, who roomed at this address with Mrs. Alexander and her husband. In the presence of Albert Smith, of 1336 Riggs Street, Northwest; LeRoy F. Burton, of Cedar Heights, Md.; and Andrew Lewis, of 1613 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, Woolridge stated he was "going with" Mrs. Alexander and charged her with trying to "twotime" on him. She called him a liar and denied that he had ever been anything to her. Both then cursed each other. Woolridge motioned as if to strike her with a beer bottle which was on the dining room table. Richard Marshall, an ice man, of 735 Kenyon Street, Northwest, rang the doorbell. Mrs. Alexander opened the door for him, went into her bedroom and got her husband's gun. When she returned to her dining room, Woolridge had gone into the kitchen. A large butcher knife held the door between the kitchen and dining room open. Woolridge picked up this knife and started to enter the dining room. She raised the gun. He let the door swing shut and jumped behind it. She fired through the glass, the bullet taking effect, striking him in the left breast. Woolridge was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital. He was pronounced dead upon arrival. Death was due to a punctured lung and a heart wound. He bled profusely at the mouth and nose. Mrs. Alexander was arrested by Captain Robert E. Doyle, Sergeant J. W. McGinnis and Precinct Detectives Howard W..Smith, and C. F. Lowery of No. 8. At the station house, she made a statement confessing the killing and claiming self-defense. At the inquest, Mrs. Alexander was represented by Attorney James A. O'Shea. Assistant United States Attorney E. Russel Kelly appeared for the Government.

ResentsPayingHonor to Col.Sherrill TRUSTEES TO SELL UNDER ORDERS FROM JUSTICE HITZ Sale of the unfinished Masonic Temple structure at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, was authorized by an order signed last Tuesday by Justice William Hitz in the equity division of the District Supreme Court. The court appointed Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, opposing counsel in the litigation which has been going on for nearly a year, trustees to make the sale. The order referred the issues between the contending Masonic factions to Herbert L. Davis, court auditor, for hearing and determination, after which he is to report to the court. After the sale and confirmation by the court, Mr. Davis is authorized to make disbursements of the proceeds to the priorities. The sale of the property was authorized for the protection of all the parties to the litigation, the stockholders, subscribers to the capital stock creditors and those who have filed liens against the real estate of the New Masonic Hall Corporation.

CHURCHES PERMIT KLAN MEETINGS Surging crowds of relatives, friends and curiosity seekers jammed their way into the North Capitol Street Methodist Episcopal Church at North Capitol and K Streets Sunday to 500 members. A large detail of police in plain clothes were assigned to the service, following alleged threats from enemies of the klan who promised to break up the meeting. The McKendree Methodist Episcopal Church, Massachusetts Avenue, near 9th Street, Northwest, was filled with members of the Ku Klux Klan who attended the evenings services in a body. They were robbed, but wore no masks. The Rev. S. C. Coale, pastor of the church, delivered a patriotic message in his sermon. His text was "Raise a Standard for the People." These churches are not of the M. E. Church "South," but of the Northern branch, which yet has in it many colored congregations and three Negro bishops, Clair, Jones and Scott. LOCAL N.A.A.C.P. PLANS DRIVE The executive committee of the local branch, N. A. A. C. P., at a meeting held last Saturday evening, decided to inaugurate the spring registration of memberships April 15th and continue to May 3rd. During this period it is planned to enroll not less than 6000 members. A conference of interested workers has been called to meet at the Phyllis Wheatly Y. W. C. A. Wednesday evening, March 10 at eight o'clock. Featuring the period of registration will be several public meetings of more than passing interest to the citizens of Washington. On February 27th the president and secretary of the local branch called on Congressman Madden and laid before him a matter of discrimination in pay of administrative officers in the colored schools. The Junior Division is holding its March meeting on the afternoon of the 6th at 3 o'clock in the National Training School, Lincoln Heights, D.C. U. S. MARSHAL CANDIATE IS CHARGED, AS 'LYNCHER' CHARGED AS 'LYNCHER The nomination of C. R. Ligon to be United States marshal in the northern district of Mississippi is being held up by the Senate Judiciary Committee pending the filing and inquiry into charges that he was a member of a mob that lynched a Negro. The charge, says Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, is inspired for political purposes by the defeated Mulvihil faction of the Republican party in his state. WIFE KILLS HUSBAND; GOES FREE Attorney Armond W. Scott last Tuesday successfully defended a woman on a charge of manslaughter for the killing of her husband. The defendant was Mrs. Marie Crump. After two hours' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict not guilty. Shortly before a verdict was reached, the jury returned for further instructions from Justice Wendell P. Stafford, who presided at the trial. Attorney Scott argued that the woman killed her husband in self defense. He proved that the dead man treated his wife brutally on numerous occasions. The evidence showed that Mrs. Crump shot her husband, Frank Crump, through the heart at their home at No. 1143 Eighth Street, Northwest, on November 1, 1925. The couple quarrelled and in a tussle the woman obtained possession of his gun and fired the fatal shot. Crump brought a woman into his home on Saturday night preceding the shooting. She was known as "Stell". She and Crump remained there for about an hour, during which time they had several drinks of wishkey. They then went out and Crump did not return home until late Sunday afternoon. He ordered his wife to give him his dinner. She told him to go and eat where he stayed last night or where he had been eating. He threatened to kill her and they began a tussle for possession of the gun, which the woman obtained. She then shot him. Mrs. Crump fled from the scene. She met Policeman James Scott of the eighth precinct and told him about the tragedy. He advised her to surrender and accompanied her to the police station where she told officers about the shooting. Two Other Cases On the same day that Scott won the Crump manslaughter case, Justice Hoehling also granted his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on behalf of Mrs. Alma Griffin for custody of her child, Helen Louise Griffin. The writ was directed to Octavia Scott and ordered her to turn the child over to her mother. On Wednesday a jury acquitted Robert Coleman, whom Attorney Scott represented, on a charge of robbing a man of a pocketbook containing $75. These cases were three big victories for Attorney Scott within two days. NO REPORT ON WALKOUT Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, advised the Board of Education at its meeting Wednesday afternoon in the Franklin school building, that he was not yet ready to submit his recommendation of definite action to be taken against teachers at the Armstrong Technical High School, who indirectly were blameable for the student strike as a protest against demotion of Captain Arthur C. Newman from principal to the rank of military instructor. Mr. Wilkinson state dthat he had made a second investigation which was more thorough than the first. He said that he had interviewed every teacher in the building. The second investigation closed Tuesday. Mr. Wilkinson said that he had talked with Superintendent Frank W. Ballon, but that they had not reached a definite recommendation. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. BE onor to Col SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE FAILS TO ACT ON ATTY.COBB On account of the recent illness of Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, the Senate Judiciary Committee took no action at its meeting last Monday on either the McKinley anti-lynching bill or the nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. The McKinley anti-lynching bill has been favorably reported to the Judiciary Committee by the subcommittee to which it was referred. A motion by Senator Deneen to report it favorably to the Senate is pending. No action has been taken on the Cobb nomination. The subcommittee, to which it was referred, had not met on account of the illness of Senator Deneen last week. Both of these matters are expected to be taken up at the next meeting of the Judiciary Committee next Monday. NAT'L ALLIANCE OF MINISTERS TO BE ORGANIZED The culmination of six months travel, and a long period of correspondence upon the part of Rev. C. L. Russell, pastor of Israel Metropolitan C. M. E. Church together with the ministers of the local Ministerial Alliance will present in a convention of a number of ministers and professional church officials of every rank for the purpose of organizing a National Ministerial Alliance. The proposed body is a distinctly trade or professional organization open to ministers of every denomination for the purpose of creating an attitude of more helpfulness to the progress of the Race in its every aspect, and to broaden the scope of ministerial contribution to the general advancement of the group. The project is to be helpful in all of the pursuits of life for their people without interfering in any manner in the denominational functions of the minister members. A three day program has been arranged that will include consideration and discussion of eighteen different subjects of deep consequence to the Race. The full program will be made public later. The local body that is sponsoring the call that has been acknowledged by more than two thousand churchmen is of a denominational assortment of religious affiliation, hence should assure an unbiased and ultrammeled body.

Sherrill DINNER HERE DRAWS IRE OF WRITER Prompted by urging from Neval Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Charles Edward Russell, noted author, economist and political authority, declined to attend the testimonial dinner tendered to Col. Clarence O. Sherill by the Washington Chamber of Commerce, and tendered his resignation to the organization because of its stamp of approval of Sherill's discriminations while Superintendent of Public Buildings and grounds, as indicated by the dinner. Mr. Sherill has become city manager of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Russell's letter of resignation is as follows: "Colonel Sherrill, by his deliberate course of contemptuous injustice toward the colored people of this city, took himself out of the category of public servants that merit any applause from their fellow men. Legally, constitutionally, and from every viewpoint of social welfare, the colored people are entitled to every right and privilege accorded to the white. Colonel Sherill's defiance of this fundamental truth was so flagrant and therefore so injurious to the best interests of the community that I think the Washington Chamber of Commerce might be better engaged than in showing him honor. Resents Insult to Negroes "I am unable to think, as I should be glad to think, that the Chamber is unaware of the intolerable insult he put upon the colored people at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, of the means by which he deprived colored people of a bathing beach while providing one for the white, of the gratuitous affront comprised in the insolent signs that segregated colored people that he enforced at the cafes in the public government buildings under his control. Your action in paying him this honor can be construed only as an endorsement of his course." It is not possible for me to retain membership in a body so oblivious to the foundation essentials of justice and equality. "I have therefore the honor to present my check for membership dues to July 1, 1926, and my resignation herewith." Mr. Rusell is one man of the Caucasian race who has shown that he is a believer in justice regardless of color.

Cov- THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Tribute Feature A step up, a slight social advance, an ambition achieved, a realization of undreamed of possibilities—the next thing in fashion may mean this and more more than this to each and every woman who is even now planning her fashion wardrobe for the spring season. Let us not think of the spring costume as something merely to buy, but as something to add charm and individuality. It is self-evident that a woman can do this with the influence of one frock or one coat; her clothes must have personality, and in the minds of stylists every new silhouette, every new fabric, should be linked with life and individualities of the women who are to wear it. The assembling of the costumes is the all-important style thought of today. It is not enough to think of the two-piece dress or suit, the princess silhouet, the flare, the shoulder coat, or cape as separate and distinct issues; one must bring all these elements of fashion together this season in complete costumes for the average woman, and put into them all the smart or picturesque allure of the occasion for which they are designed. Not only must the coat be designed as a back ground for the frock, but wraps must be in sympathy with dinner gowns; a cape completes the sports jumper; and the blouse related in design or color is a clever asset to the two-piece suit. Told In Verse EULOGY OF A FAMOUS DOG Poets of all ages have sung the praises of dogs and one of the noblest and truest tributes ever paid to canine worth is expressed in the lines of Lord Byron which with the epitaph inscribed to his dog, Boatswain, runs as follows: When some proud son of man returns to earth Unknown to glory but upheld by birth. The sculptor's art exhausted the pomp of woe And storied urns record who rest below; When all is done, upon the tomb is seen Not what he was, but what he should have been. But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart it still his master's own. Who labors, fights, lives, breathes for him alone Unhonored falls, unnoticed all his worth.

A thin cream sauce may be used instead of the cream. Creamed Cod-Fish Soak the fish three hours then boil in fresh water until tender, then pick out all the bones. To cream it for breakfast take one pint of milk and bring to the boiling point. Thicken with a tablespoonful of cornstarch dissolved in a little water, a teaspoonful of butter and stir in the fish—not less than a large cupful. Add two well-beaten eggs, let them cook a moment and serve very hot. Marcaroni and Oysters Fill a buttered pudding dish with alternate layers of boiled macaroni and oysters. Sprinkle the oysters with pepper, and salt and dot with butter. Pour over all one cupful of milk or cream. Cover with bread crumbs and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. Salmon au Gratin Make a sauce of two tablespoons of butter, two of flour and two cupfuls of milk. When boiling, smooth and thick like cream, put in half a can of salmon, broken in small pieces. Turn this into small fire-proof glass casseroles, cover the top with bread crumbs and grated cheese, and bake until brown on top. Cracker or Bread Crumbs Bread Bread Dry oysters on a towel, dip in egg well beaten and seasoned with pepper and salt roll in bread or cracker crumbs. Then immerse in deep fat in frying basket. Drippings should be very hot. A glimpse into the show rooms where spring fashions are on display gives a chance to enumerate some of these style phases and to consider what they bring of charm and novelty to the season about to open. In the spring the costume idea may be much more elaborately developed because of the role of silk as a coat medium, and it is easier to adjust in the matter of cost. A coat goes to unlimited effort to relate to its frock in almost as many tricks of combination and contrast as there are colors and fabrics and silhouettes. Frequently the coat is designed in neutral and conservative lines that it may serve as complement to more than one frock. It may be lined or unlined, straight or flared, sleeveless or with capetel or scarf. It may match the fabric of the frock, ripling with the same movement, or it may be posed over a colorful print which it further adorns for a lining. Sharp contrasts are permissible, black satin and taffeta demand respectable attention. Paris dances in white, as gala dinners and smart dansants testify. Materials and trimmings may vary, but white, in crepe, chiffon or satin or even lace dazzles the eye as it is worn by the chick cosmopolitan. But it is not enough for the evening gown to be as a lily of the field; if it would scale the heights of success it must also sparkle like a star of heaven. To this end almost any means is permitted: studdings of rhinestones or crystal or pallette, embroideries of sequins, beads or metal. And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.

I want to stop school and go to work. My parents do not want me to stop yet I cannot have the things which my companions have because my parents cannot afford them. I feel that I would be helping them if I go to work and take care of myself. What do you think of my plan? ETHEL My dear Ethel: You are very thoughtful in wishing to help your parents, little girl, yet have you stopped to think how much better able you will be to help them if you continue your education? If your parents are willing to try to keep you in school—a great sacrifice they are making, I know—they realize what education means and want you to be benefited by it. Cast aside those silly ideas of dress and make up your mind to finish your education. It is the uneducated person who must work the hardest and demand the least money, while the educated person or the thinker is paid for what he knows. Know something and be able to demand higher pay. You will find after your education is completed, you will be able to help your parents and yourself much more than by stopping school now to go to work. Dear Vee Tee Tee: In talking with a young lady the other day, she spoke of going with her husband to help him select a suit. Do you think this a right thing to do? I for one felt that a man should select his own suit and should not be guided by the advice of a woman, even if she is his wife. I think a man knows better what he should wear or wants to wear and should act accordingly. What is your opinion? My dear Mr. J. K.C.; if you read my writings from week to week you can no doubt figure to a great extent what my answer will be. In the first place, I think it a lovely thing that two people can so agree as to even consider each other in that way. The majority of couples are just as you say—each feels the other has nothing to do with what they wear or buy and consequently act accordingly. If you were in business and had a partner—would you go and buy anything you wished without consulting your partner? Of course not. Perhaps you will say that condition is different—but it is not. Marriage should be a business entered into by two contracting parties who work harmoniously together for the common good of the business. For the husband to even express a desire for the wife to help him select a suit shows that he is considering the welfare of the business by showing appreciation of her advice. It isn't a question of a woman selecting your clothes but it is the appreciation of her ideas. You will find a couple of this sort respecting in the likes and dislikes of each other at all times, as a rule. Encourage each others advice along all lines, talk freely and hide nothing. In this way things will always run smoothly and friction will always be avoided. From the Melting Pot So many married couples, yearn for children that thousands of people of all back by the Jl.

This will nourish your scalp and soften the texture of your hair. Too hot curling irons and straightening combs will cause the ends of the hair to split and break off. Frequent shampoos and intelligent dressings by a competent Hair Culturist should be given regularly. There is a three-fold purpose in brushing hair; it distributes the Hair Grower through the hair, thus polishing it, and the gentle pulling upon roots of the hair stimulates the scalp. It also removes dirt and dust from the hair and scalp. Brush your hair thoroughly, and do not be afraid to brush the hair because it is coming out. Of course, rough brushing or combing when the hair is tangled is injurious as it breaks the hair off; but you should not worry over the hairs that have stopped growing. The way to renew them is to brush them out so that new ones may grow from the hair follicles. - Question—Do you think that dampening the hair with water when combing it has a bad effect? Do you recommend Mme. Dudley's Hair Gloss for men's hair?—Williams Answer—It is bad practice to dampen the hair with water when combing or brushing it. It has a tendency to make the hair brittle and eventually will cause it to fall out. As a dressing for the hair, use Mme. Dudley's Hair Gloss which is an excellent dressing for men, women and children's hair. You will be greatly pleased with your hair after using this preparation which may be used with or without straightening combs with wonderful effect. CONCERNING THE TEETH The teeth play a very important part in a woman's personal appearance. Poor teeth will spoil the most charming facial beauty, while good teeth will enhance and beautify gloriously what may be otherwise plain features. Yet how often the teeth are utterly neglected. Money spent upon the teeth and the appearance of the [Image of a young girl with short hair and a white collar. She is wearing a dark sweater with a white collar.

Phone, North 8149 mouth is money well spent, and the wise woman never begrudges the expense that is involved in visiting the dentist at least twice a year for a careful inspection and general overhauling of the mouth. These visits will not only have the effect of making your mouth more attractive, but will prove of inestimable worth in a safeguarding your general health and the preventing of physical torture due to neglect and decayed teeth. It is not to be wondered at that a great many women dread the dentist's chair. They allow their teeth to go to destruction and only heed them when driven to do so by the teeth's protest against such treatment, in the form of exposed nerves and painful aching. A thorough brushing of the teeth should be done at bed time and the teeth should also be brushed after each meal. In brushing the teeth use an up and down stroke and not across the teeth motion. Don't imagine for one moment that beauty will take care of itself. Care must be exercised to retain that which is within our reach. Were it easy of attainment, beauty would be of far less value, and yet too few women realize how the regular use of reliable hair and beauty preparations will assist nature in improving their appearance. A WOMAN'S IDEA OF BEAUTY IN MEN No man could win a beauty prize in a bathing suit—for while a woman is beautiful in what she reveals, a man is beautiful in what he conceals. Good shoulders, good teeth and a winning smile would be more to his credit than soulful eyes and a Valentino waistline, and a strong masculine chin would outweigh a shiny slick head of hair. A bald head might pass but please discard the mustache or hair of any kind on the face. A woman may love a man in spite of his mustache, but not because of it. Height of course attracts. Every woman loves to "look up" to a man! But the intangible something called "Personality" which shows itself in his face, eyes, bearing and his whole figure—reaches the innate portals of a woman's heart.

The bill, if passed will give the Four Big Brotherhods of trainmen the complete and permanent control of means for the 135,000 Negro laborers engaged in traffic occupation to obtain consideration of their grievances or problems. The present Labor board that the measure would discard make ample provision for the employees to receive consideration. Reinzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees has been in frequent contact with Secretary of Labor Davis, and has suggested several amendments to the measure that would keep open the gateway for the smaller unions. The Western group of railway officials have been taking the matter to Senators whose interest may be aroused through the instrument of a heavy Negro vote in their districts. Colored railroad employees, particularly those engaged as firemen, switchmen, brakesmen, and shop workers are looking askance at the Watson-Barker Bill now before Congress, a measure which plans to do away with the Railway Labor Board, the body now having jurisdiction over districts arising between common carriers and their employees. Railway Men's International Officer Makes Protest R. L. Mays of the Railway Men's International has led a fight to have the sponsors for the measure, Senator Joe Watson of Indiana in particular, accept an amendment which would safeguard the rights of all minority groups of employees. Congressman Martin B. Madden, introduced this amendment which decrees that "all rules, rates, wages, and working conditions of employees on common carriers shall be construed and applied alike to all employees of the craft without regard to creed or color or whether they are members of the organization negotiating the contract." Mr. Mays has been joined in his effort by President Elland of the Association of Colored Railway Trainmen and other labor leaders. Senator Watson who was appealed to for aid in attaching the amendment to the bill declined and wrote Mr. Mays that the "bill was fair to everyone, that he had discussed it with Secretary of Labor Davis and that he felt the colored workers were actuated by fear." Mr. Mays replied to Senator Watson, saying, "You are correct when you say that the views I am announcing are governed by fear. However, you are incorrect when you say they are not governed by fact. The truth is speaking for Colored locomotive firemen, and switchmen, and shopmen, the views I express are governed by both fear and facts as the record of Docket 138 U.S.R.L.B. and Dock- Elk Commissioner of Education Proud of Response Encouraged by the response of the nearly 600 lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, to the educational program being sponsored by that organization which has proposed to furnish scholarships for needy colored students, Judge William Clarence Hueston, Commissioner of Education, has issued a bulletin, in which he recounts the splendid spirit in which the members of the order have risen to the call. "For centuries," said Judge Hueston, "the accepted idea was that only the few should have what was called an education, in other words, it was the idea that we should have an educated class; from this class were drawn the professionals; clergy, teachers, lawyers, doctors, magistrates etc, all others were unlettered and unideal is a cultured people in every respect, and this means all the people taught. But today in our country the white and black. "The states in many sections of the country provide the schools, but in some, the provision is very limited, and that is especially true so far as our race is concerned; this results in our being backward or behind the other races, for truly we are living in a country where education is an absolute necessity. American civilization is so advanced that it is absolutely necessary to have much learning in order to live understandingly in this great country of ours and to be able as citizens to contribute one's share to its further development. "The American Negro is handicapped in many ways, but it is my opinion that for the present we can stand all of these set backs, if we can universally have the boon of Education, for if we become generally informed, we can trust that an educated posterity to remove in time all handicaps based on color and ignorance. Just above in the preceding paragraph, I referred to the fact that in many sections, the Negro was very poorly provided with schools; this is unquestionably true, and it is the purpose of this department to keep everlastingly at the task of carrying forward a propaganda, to compel all the States to provide proper public schools and teachers for the Negro youth at the expense of the respective states and to this end we commit our Educational Department and we besech every member of our order to join with us in putting over our program." et 12, U.S.R.R.L.B. will testify. I refer to the typewritten transcript of evidence submitted by the Association of Colored Railway Trainnneg and the Organization I represent when the above referred dockets were being considered. "I also disagree with you when you say in reference to the proposed new Railroad legislation Under its provisions, if any member of your organization has a dispute with the representatives of the carrier, he can be heard, and opportunity will be afforded him to state his grievances," whereas new such is not the case. "From experience, we find the present Transportation Act of 1920 as interpreted by the rules and regulations of the Labor Board in decision number 119 and its addenda, and decision number 218 and addenda to be adequate, fair, and just to all parties concerned in controversies contemplated and provided by the law. Particularly, do we find the present machinery a bulwark of protection to the weaker organizations such as the one with which I am associated. At no time, have we, after complying with section 301 Transportation Act 1920 been refused a fair hearing. As a matter of fact we are convinced that, not having the numerical strength to compel consideration by "mutual agreement" as per the pending law the present law is more effective and the stronger organizations have no just and reasonable basis of complaint provided only the element of good faith is shown under the law by all parties concerned. "Again asking that the language of H. R. 5370, be added to the new or old legislation, I am asking the liberty to refer copies of this letter to the President, the Chairmen of the House Committee, Congressman Madden of Illinois, and both Illinois Senators, also the Secretary of Labor." Observers say considerable pressure will have to be brought on friendly members of Congress to get consideration for the amendment. The new bill which is fostered by the four big white brotherhoods has been agreed to in principle by the railroad executives of the country after several months conference with the unions. The new bill provides new machinery for the adjustment of railway labor disputes and abandons the plan of direct representation of the public in the decision of railway labor controversies. Because the contracts covering various types of work are executed in the name of the brotherhoods, it follows that colored workers are not permitted to join these brotherhoods, it follows that colored workers will be at a disadvantage in presenting their cases according to prominent colored railway workers. They had won the right to appear before the present board and have won notable victories for various types of colored employees. 24th Infantry Makes Friends in Georgia Columbus, Ga., Mar. 5—That same old grace and determination which has brought them through so many a physical and spiritual campaign is standing the stalwart members of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, now stationed at Fort Benning, in good stead as they toil away in the wilderness of prejudice. The regiment is "making the 'white folks' like it." This military aggregation has a number of weapons with which it fights prejudice. Among them are the good character of men, their intelligence, their helpfulness, and their fighting qualities. But down here in Georgia, it is using something else. The music of the Negro race in being employed to soften the hearts of its detractors. The Glee Club and the band of the regiment have rode into high popularity, both among the whites of this city, just nine miles from camp, and among the whites at the Fort.A week ago, the Glee Club were the guests of the local Kiwanis Club and sang to the great delight of that organization, spirituals and classic selections under the direction of Captain S. O. Neff Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week, the musical bodies of the regiment entertained at the Post Theater, in the Fort, before crowded houses. The local dailies, the Ledger, the Enquirer and the Sun, have been lavish in their praise of the Infantrymen. This change of sentiment is comparable to that which took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the regiment was assigned in the nineties. When the citizens of the town heard that Negro soldiers were coming to Fort Douglas, they sent a delegation to Washington to protest against their entrance. But the boys went there anyhow and behaved in such manner that when they left for Cuba in '98 the town declared a holiday and fete them. The daily paper of the city publicly apologized for their former insult.

MARCH 5. 1926 GARVEY ASSOCIATION IN TURMOIL Effort Being Made to Wrest Organization from Leader New York, March 4—The Universal Negro Improvement Association is torn by dissension and internal strife. From his cell in Atlanta Penitentiary, where he is serving a term for using the mails to defraud, President General Garvey has issued a proclamation charging Acting President General William Sherrill and other high officials with disloyalty, and calling "an international convention of the Negroes of the world" to be held in Detroit from March 14 to 31. "There is urgent necessity for a change in the present administration of the Universal Improvement Association and its auxiliaries, and this convention will, among other things, elect officers so as to insure the successful carrying forward of the work so ably begun and fostered by our great leader," the call states. Attached to it is the name of Garvey with the names of Fred A. Toote, president of the Philadelphia Division; William Ware, president of the Cincinnati Division; Samuel A. Haynes, president of the Pittsburgh Division, and Joseph A. Craigen, secretary of the Detroit Division. A majority of members of the New York Division do not favor holding a convention and are said to be in sympathy with Sherill and other officers who have become persona non grata with the incarcerated leader. They say it is unconstitutional and whatever is done will not be binding on the national officers. Followers of Sherrill assert the convention has been called in Detroit for the express purpose of putting Mrs. Garvey in control of the organization. The feeling between the two factions is bitter in Harlem. At meetings in Liberty Hall the presence of police has been necessary to maintain order. Garvey's chief complaint against Sherill is that the Acting President General has not kept in close touch with him during his imprisonment, and that Sherill was not interpreting the true spirit of the association. Sherill denies he has been disloyal to Garvey. Legal Execution Made Immense Spectacle in Delaware Legal Execution Made Immense Spectacle in Delaware Georgetown, Del, Feb. 26—More than 6,000 people from surrounding territory came into Georgetown and made a holiday of the execution of Harry Butler, the Negro who was convicted of an attempt to criminally assault Eleanora Steinmitz, a white girl. The alleged offense occurred early in the month, and after a sixteen-minute trial Butler was convicted on February 8. In compliance with the custom of the benighted community, after the execution the populace was privileged to pass before the hanging body and feast their voracious animal instinct. On the day before the execution, the prison glee club entertained the early visitors with a rendition of "God be with you till we meet again."

Address: DR. E. S. LEE, Dept. 30 1716 EAST 12TH STREET KANSAS CITY, MO Mixed Marriage Causes Trouble in New York Mixed Marriage Causes Trouble in New York Wrecks Family, Debenches Judge and Promises a Fatherless Childhood Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Feb. 26—The unreasoning prejudice of the American public against the legitimate marriage of whites and blacks, while fully approving of the clandestine relations that prevail over the land, has claimed another group of victims. The effects have been widespread, and several lives have been injured. On September 4, a young colored man, Calvin Smith married Sarah Zeigler, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the owner of Zeigler's brick yard and a wealthy citizen of Poughkeepsie. They had met and courted during the summer as Smith worked. The marriage was solemnized at St. Jude's Church, New York, in avoidance of the difficulties the couple knew would be encountered in obtaining a license in Poughkeepsie. In obtaining the license Smith alleged residence in New York City which vow formed the basis of a charge of peruvian. Sarah was not permitted to return to her home, and Judge Thomas Aldridge, age 70, and for years a friend of the family gave the girl employment in his home. He likewise provided her with some needed clothing; Bent upon visiting the wrath of the community upon the girl, the District Attorney who learned that the girl owned a revolver which she had been prompted to obtain to protect herself against threats, sent officers to arrest her upon the charge of possessing deadly weapons. In an effort to protect the poor girl, the Judge delayed the officers while he threw the weapon down the chimney. The officers heard the clatter against the bricks, recovered the gun; and placed a charge of conspiring to defeat justice against the aged jurist. He was obliged to resign his position under pressure. "I am resigning under a cloud," the old man said, "but 'I want it to be known that there was nothing but pure love and affection in my friendship for this unfortunate girl." Prior to this the girl had been living at Smith's home in Huntingdon, Pa., returning to her home, her people declined to accept her, and the expectant mother who has also been arrested has said: "I have committed no sin, except that of ignorance," she said, "yet I am in jail and disgraced. I have nothing but love for my parents, but I can never live with them again. I don't know what I'll do if my husband is prosecuted." 750 CARS IN FUNERAL CORTEGE Kinston, N.C., March 4- Seven hundred and fifty automobiles were in the funeral cortege when Reverend Kelly Artis, Free-Will Baptist minister, was buried here Monday, and thousands of people crowded in and about the church during the services.

Some, to be sure, are forced to move frequently from city to city, and others have not yet saved up enough to make the first payment in the purchase of a home. So there is always a need of houses to rent. But an owned home with its many satisfactions is the ideal that most families wish to secure for themselves. BRING HOME UP-TO-DATE One of the many charms of homeowning is the freedom with which you can approach any new idea. Many a chance to improve appearances and enhance values comes to the one who purchases an old house. Closets are turned into cupboards, pantries into breakfast alcoves and wasteful attics into extra bedrooms. R. R.

"Poor naked wretches, wheresoee'er you are, That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm, How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides, Your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you From seasons such as these?" —Shakespeare, "King Lear." ONE NEGRO LEADER—well qualified; christian; member of several lodges; well educated—has two degrees; Republican; married—two children; impressive in appearance. If the above ad. appeared in a metropolitan paper, no doubt the public would hold its hands up in holy horror. Yet, every day of the year, hundreds of our so called race leaders sell themselves to the highest (white) bidder. However, if the sale stopped there, there would be no occasion for writing these lines, but, the sale of themselves is but the first step in their eventually selling you and me. For their purchase in the first place, is a matter precedent to the selling of the race. There is no race of people equally educated and with as many opportunities for business development, who have had and still have as many traitors in their front ranks as the Negro. Usually the higher they are educated, the easier they are bought. So prevalent is this trait in our intelligentsia that it has even invaded the class rooms of our schools and colleges. For the gilded gold of the Caucasian, Negroes can be bought to betray their own flesh and blood. Teachers will betray students and students will even betray each other. At the end of each political campaign, all of the Negro participants have been bought and paid for, and therefore, have no further claim for recognition. What the race has lost from this source alone is inestimable. As an example of this urge to sell out, the following is mentioned: there is now pending a claim for $300, filed by a local leader (so called) for supposed voluntary speeches delivered in Connecticut during the last Coolidge campaign. This leader's interest in the election was not what Coolidge would do for the race, but what could he get out of the campaign treasury. Whenever the unscrupulous politician wants to put over a Jim Crow proposition, he always buys himself a few Negro leaders to sanction the move. If an old worn out school building is abandoned by the Caucasian students, there is always the bought-and-paid for Negro who will come to the front and say "give us that building, we can use it." If a crooked stock scheme is to be unloaded on the unsuspecting Negro investor, there is the Negro leader, (bought-and-paid-for), with his name and leadership used as a bait for the unsuspecting. When discrimination is saddled on the race, regardless how humiliating, in walks the Negro leader (bought-and-paid-for) to show the masses why they should accept it without a fight. How many bitter pills of sorrow, sugar coated by bought-and-paid-for Negroes has the race swallowed in its 63 years of freedom. No phase of Negro life has been sacred to our leadership. However, Negro business has no doubt suffered more from this group of traitors than any other. This paper has evidence that high school teachers have prevented their students from trading with Negro firms and forced them to go to white firms who offered these teachers a "cut-back." What hope of economic and political betterment can the race have when it is honey-combed with such a large group of traitors? These Judas must be unmasked if the Negro is to win recognition from the progressive races of the world. Is blood thicker than water? NEGROES IN COLLEGE The Nation of March 3, has an article by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois under the above caption. The article is informative though rather conservative. He discusses in a factual way the difficulties that have arisen in several of the colleges for Negroes whose administrative staffs are wholly or mainly white, and also the increasing tendency to freeze out Negroes in the big Northern institutions. Notwithstanding the incompleteness of the information, especially as to the large state institutions of the West and Middle-West, and such institutions as Chicago University, Columbia, and Cornell, and former friendly colleges like Oberlin and Western Reserve, yet the article is timely and deserves the careful attention of all persons interested in the higher education of our race. In view of the situation at Howard, due to the resignation of President Durkee, and the consequent renewal of the demand by many persons that Howard should have a Negro president, one point he makes is of timely significance. He says: "There are cases where the substitution of a colored president for a white president has brought happy results. But a colored president is no certain panacea. If we look at the matter carefully we will see that it is the character of the man and not the color of the skin that makes for success or lack of success. As a general thing, in colored colleges with colored presidents there is also unrest and protest because, for the most part, such presidents have not had the oppor- FOR SALE tunity of broad education and contact and they are peculiarly cramped in their activities and growth either by the white philanthropists who are helping their institutions or the white churches that are supporting them or the white State officials under whom they work." We should ponder the situation carefully before committing ourselves irrevocably to any fixed and uniform policy concerning these matters. One thing seems certain, that is, the trustees of Howard who are now in control are not likely to want a president, white or colored, whom they think would differ materially in plan and policy from the present incumbent. My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON "Intelligence is that inherited quality which allows a fellow to get along without an education. on the other hand, is what is given to some of us so we can get along without intelligence. A lot of folks insist that the intelligent A COMMENDABLE MOVEMENT In this issue we publish an account of the progressive step taken by the order of Elks looking to encourage and assist our youth in the matter of education, particularly beyond the elementary grades. The commissioner who is managing the matter appears to be clear-visioned and zealous. So far as announced, there is nothing visionary or impractical in his plans; and what is more important, the order has seemingly responded enthusiastically to the call. Education Week, April 11 to 15, under the sponsorship of the Elks, promises to initiate a movement which may have, and probably will have, far-reaching effects. One admirable feature of the plan is that the philanthropy is not to be confined to the sons and daughters of members of the order, nor is it designed to build up the order, especially; but the race as a whole, and hence the nation. Another commendable feature is that the assistance is not to take the form of a "loan," which would inevitably involve discrimination in favor of those who could offer the most likely security—that is, those least needing help. It is well, too, that it is not planned to found another and necessarily more or less exclusive school or college, but to send the beneficiaries to schools already established. We have now too many weak and poorly equipped and poorly endowed schools. Few, if any, are overcrowded. There will be room in the existing schools for all that the order can help for some years, at least. And finally, it is well that those entrusted with carrying out the purpose of the order to help our youth educationally did not accept the dubious and probably futile scheme of prize awards for this, that or the other. Such offers are of doubtful value in stimulating a lasting zeal for advancement, which is of far more importance than an occasional fitful spurt and strain to try to beat the other fellow to a dangling prize. The whole purpose and plan of Commissioner Hueston and his associates is worthy of the fullest endorsement, and may well be emulated by our other fraternal orders. Hats off to the Elks! THE "BREATH OF SCANDAL" The following is taken from an article in the Sunday New York World, by W. E. Woodward, who is gathering materials for a Life of President George Washington. Mr. Woodward says: Like most public men of eminence, Washington has been the subject of numerous sex stories in which the "breathe of scandal"—as the newspapers call it—has blown upon him and Generals' wives, laudresses, mulatto girls and others. I do not believe them. He was no saint of chastity, I am sure, but his illicit love affairs must have been very few. The so-called letters—exhibited breadthlessly behind closed doors—are British forgeries. This whole fabric of legends has been kept alive because of the average American's inability to understand how any man can be a hero without having what is known a "red-blooded sex life," which means promiscuity, of course. Exactly—so far. But it is just as easy for the average man to believe that Mr. Woodward himself is mistaken. In fact, according to the ordinary rules of probability, it is quite easy to accept as true or extremely likely some of these stories especially those relating to "mulatto girls." If this Virginia gentleman failed to take advantage of his opportunities among his one hundred and twenty-five bondmen and bondwomen (including of course mulatto girls), he was a notable exception to the rule of his time—and of later times, too. The existence of these mulatto girls was pretty close to ipso facto evidence that some at least of his class either voluntarily crossed the line or were attracted over by their bondwomen. In the case of nearly every slave-holding gentleman of Mr. Washington's set, we have good, concrete, objective evidence of the crossing, and not a few were big enough and honest enough to acknowledge and openly assist and care for these children of passion and opportunity—or of real, unusual devotion to his two mulatto daughters. The author of the Declaration of Independence was one of these. One of the earlier numbers of the Journal of Negro History, if we mistake not, has an account of Mr. Jefferson's relatively unusual assistance to his two mulatto daughters. The same sort of acknowledgements were made by others, including, it is said, the family of General Robert E. Lee, the idol of the later South. However, in the case of Mr. Washington, we have, it seems, no tangible and objective evidence. But that can hardly be regarded as conclusive, for neither is Mr. Washington credited with any legitimate offspring, though married relatively early to a lady of marriageable age. By the way, when did it become a "scandal" for a white Southern gentleman to merely "associate" with mulatto girls? A Noble Roman It is not often than any person so completely vindicates his claim to be a friend to another race, as well as a friend to all mankind, as we witness in the case of Charles Edward Russell, the brilliant author and publicist, through his resignation from the Chamber of Commerce of this city on account of its testimonial dinner to Colonel Sherrill. While the news article does not so state, Mr. Russell is a socialist and was that party's candidate for president a few years since. My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON "Intelligence is that inherited quality which allows a fellow to get along without an education. Education, on the other hand, is what is given to some of us so we can get along without intelligence. A lot of folks insist that the intelligence curve is going down as fast as the education curve is going up." So begins a story by Floyd Parsons, a very capable student of American life, and an accepted authority, that appeared in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post. It's too good to let pass without a fervent Amen. Give his words a bit of thought with due consideration to some recently reported local events. The Boston Chronicle in a front page story headed "Black Cabinet Formed," tells the palpitating Negro voters of the land that there is a group that dominates things, in so far as Negroes are concerned, at the national capital. The correspondent who wrote that story may know whereof he speaks, and then again, he may be just a bit inflated over the fact that a couple of Massachusetts boys have been able to crawl on the Butler campaign staff now that he needs every vote in his state so badly as to be quite indifferent to the color of the voter. Congress must face the people this year, and every congressman who does not hope to be become a senator or a governor wants to be re-elected to his post. To accomplish either of these ambitions requires votes; and the gang is falling over itself to do nice things for Negroes. The hustlerati are on to it, and the "leaders," "editors," "news service chiefs," etc., are coming into Washington on every train—and leaving with nice little pink and blue evidences of coin available when they leave. That is, some get checks, others get passes to the Senate, or to the House, and yet others get speaking tours with nice juicy expense accounts mapped-out. All get the glory of a confidential interview with its attendant "deep stuff" that "can't be disclosed just now." Railway fares and hotel bills at the best available places don't seem to be any consideration to "the boys." Congress that has so long winked at segregations in every government department, that has watched Negroes removed from office, that has done nothing to help Negroes to either jobs or a square deal in the administration of the law, is now breaking its neck trying to create some sort of record with which its apologists may approach the Negro voter. All sorts of nice sounding horses (on you and on me) are being treated out, special bills, monuments to the dead, books to be placed in our libraries, speeches to adorn the record, in fact everything but consideration as citizens. So fearful are the congressmen, that they have become what Broadway calls "angels." Anyone, with the claim that he can deliver favorable impressions, gets the ear of the lawmakers. So far Senator McKinley has appeared to be the big angel. He has obtained a lot of publicity, had speeches appear in print in newspapers, had his cut distributed and a lot of things done by the boys who don't give anything away. There are others, too. His crown of angelic glory may even now be torn from him, if we may believe stories of the ease with which some of the boys have been getting by of late. They have dedicated a gymnasium at Howard University with much ceremony. From the dilapidated appearance of some other structures on the campus, and the need of several that seem not to be there at all, it seems that some houses for school purposes would have been more desired. A lot of parents who are getting additional muscular development through the medium of the extra work they are obliged to do to meet the expenses of their children's schooling, may be surprised to find that while they are paying for education, their children in the colleges are really getting EXERCISE. Hope none of the old folks are perverse enough to send for the youngsters and oblige them to get their exercise along with DAD on some mediocre job. Flash stuff, football, basketball, dances, frat fur and ornate ceremonies to the contrary, the students do learn a little something, so there's hope. The righteous citizens of the United States are now collecting about "umstein" millions of dollars to send to the Philippines to care for the fatherless children who have been born to the darker skinned mothers who put their trust in American soldiers and other government officials; who gave confidence to the sweet nothings of our white Christians. The debt is acknowledged after twenty years of winked-at knowledge. From Governor General down there has been no authority in the Islands who has not been fully aware of the accepted custom of having a native sweetheart, housekeeper or "wife" with the intention to desert when the tour of duty permitted a return to "the States." The application of the law of the land made and provided for such cases would have been all the protection the poor Filipinos needed. The practice of our religious preachments would have accomplished the same. Yet if we can get the few millions necessary to care for this bunch of mixed-breeds, perhaps our conscience will be sufficiently awakened to prompt caring for the "codles" of colored children scattered through our own fair land, many of whom have claim upon the "blue bloods" and law makers themselves that would be enforceable in the courts of any country but ours. A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS NEGROES DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NEGROES There is as much discrimination and segregation practiced AMONG colored people, toward their own race, as there is practiced by white people toward colored people. Nine-tenths of the colored domestic servants will not work for members of their own race. There is not a white person in the world who would refuse to work for members of his own race on the mere score of color. There are Negro businesses that cater to whites only. There isn't a white business concern that discriminates against white people. They have too much race respect and too deep a moral sense of values to enter into such anomalous and humiliating compacts against their own race. It is their policy to give their race the best and to practice business discrimination against other races. Thousands of Negroes not only disdain to work for members of their own race or on members of their race, but they have an aversion to purchasing "colored folks old clothes." If you do not believe it, work at some of our famous runmage sales and you will not be on duty very long before you are asked "Did you all get these things from colored people or from white people?" Thousands of colored domestic workers will work for the poorest and dirtiest whites, sleep in damp basements, and live on the premises under most unsafe and unhealthy conditions, and never complain. There is in the field of domestic service, a very limited number of colored people who are willing to work for members of their own race. They give efficient service. The number is very limited. There are others who will do domestic work among colored people but expect to be adopted into the family or accepted on terms of absolute social equality. This group is larger than the group that does its duty and expects no social consideration or family relationship. The workers who want to be adopted BY WELLINGTON ADAMS FOREIGN ATMOSPHERE PLUS AMERICAN DOLLARS AMERICAN DOLLARS Detracting greatly from American predominance in musical art, foreign artists from almost every European country are inading this country in large numbers, each succeeding year. Its American dollars against foreign art and American capitalism against triumphs. Quite a few foreigners are remaining here permanently just now while others come and go because white Americans love high sounding names and dear me, how wonderful to associate with titled personages. Just to show how small Americans seem in the art world, just glimpse a few of these tongue-twisting names of persons appearing in recital right here in the national capital: Haitowitsch, Jeritza, Polak, Maximilian Rose, Stokowski, Gange, Furtwangler, Klemperer, Galli-Curcel, Onegin, Bori—ah, it's enough. American aristocracy is pronounced in very nearly every other thing under the sun excepting musical art, even in mobocracy and her caste system is unequalled throughout the world in its sheer exclusiveness of "darker skins" and by the way, that's one of the reasons why America is something like the cow's tail—always behind. RADIO STATION DESECRATES "DEEP RIVER" To hear the spiritual "Deep River" sung effectively by quartet or chorus voice one usually certainly must hear that of colored folk. The most astounding failure of a chorus to imitate real Negro singing was that of a white group at Radio station WEAF, New York, through station WCAP, Washington, recently in an evening's program of diversified musical selections. This group did vocal gymnastics equal to any rank-barbershopchord group down South or some place else for that matter. They literally murdered "Deep River" with staccato effects mingled with pure legato something we've never heard before of the kind. There was no soul effect, no reverent spirit manifested, merely an effort to sound close harmonies appealing to surface applause but which they could never in a hundred years draw from this source. Even some colored folk try to imitate this bland white-folk style of singing Negro spirituals which we have noted over local radio stations occasionally but the poor untrained fool, we take for granted doesn't know better than to desecrate their own racial songs. In fact, if one really wants to enjoy the luxury of real, genuine, Negro spiritual singing, just hide yourself into some backwoods camp meeting place in summer time when religious fervor envelopes a sect and you'll hear the real thing. This trying to make certain unnatural harmonies, swells, abrupt staccato endings, allegros and ritardations, and heaven knows what else to tielec ears or a body's fancy is just plain trash, that's all. To properly render a spiritual create atmosphere through reverence and utter simplicity with due regard to the spirit of the text and character of the strain and not merely opening the mouth to harmonized chords. We would suggest that the vocal group at station WEAF, New York, sing that which they know and understand here after all leave alone forever the dearest songs of an uprising race until they can interpret them without deseration. STUDIO MUSIC PROGRAM A music program was given at the studio of the Columbia Conservatory of Music, 1911 Ninth Street. North- and given every social consideration would not expect nor accept such consideration from white people. We referred to that group of Negroes in business who work on or work for whites only. Perhaps they practice discrimination for two reasons: first, material gain; second, they disdain to work on or work for colored people. In many sections of the country the opportunity for serving members of the colored race are too limited. When the motive is material gain, or limited field, they might feel that they are justified. But the colored people who engage in such businesses put private gain above moral values. Colored business men and women who practice discrimination ought to support every kind of segregation and jim-crowism from separate cars to segregated residential districts. They are in league with white people who refuse to serve Negroes in places that are operated for the public. We are fighting the principle of the thing and the colored person who practices segregation for material gain or for any other reason is just as great an enemy to the cause of social justice as the man who practices it because of race prejudice. In fact if we could respect either one above the other we would have more respect for the man who practices discrimination because of prejudice (for prejudice is ignorance—not always maliciousness—and it might be possible to convert the evil door by enlightening him). But the individual who practices discrimination for material gain has too much of the Judas in his blood to be converted. The question recurs: How can Negroes who operate business for whites only, in segregated business sections, fight with or for their race against residential segregation and jim-crowism? I confess that this whole situation is rather incongruous. But put this down, if the race is to win in its tremendous battle against segregation and discrimination it will have to address itself to changing its own mental attitude toward itself. west, on last Tuesday evening, March 2, as follows: piano, Moreceau de Salon (Lange) Miss Estelle Smooth; banjomandolin duet.

CHURCH and SUNDAY SCHOOL DEANWOOD CHURCH GOERS HEAR SERMON ON "STEWARD- SHIP" AND RECEIVE REPORT ON AFRICAN MISSIONS Rev. C. Mac Rae Lewistall, Pastor of the Disciples Mission at Deanwood, D.C., preached a strong and instructive sermon before his little flock last Sunday afternoon from the subject "Stewardship" which he defined as the synonym of Christianity, the organization of all of the Christians' divine endowments and blessings which he discovers and enjoys with power to think, reason, and function effectively in the work of evangelizing the world. The missionary work carried on by the United Christian Missionary Society in the heart of the African Congo, Jamaica, and Paraguay, South America is very gratifying of results. The work of the Disciples among Negro Americans is very encouraging. There are now 785 churches, 33,300 members, 750 Bible Schools, 34,360 Pupils and the value of Church property $365,000. A. M. E. BISHOPS VISIT BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S GRAVE Tuskegee, Inst., Ala., March 4 (By the Associated Negro Press)—A party of 42 bishops, ministers and general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church placed a wreath upon the grave of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, here Saturday afternoon, as a tribute to the memory of the dead leader and an expression of their reverence and respect for him. In touching and fitting terms, Bishon John A. Johnson of Philadelphia, Pa., culogized Mr. Washington Members of the party addressed the student body in the Institute Chapel and urged them to grasp and use the opportunities afforded them. Bishop W. H. Heard of Philadelphia ranked Richard Allen, founder of the A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Washington together. "They will live on," he said, "because they made men and women. They will never die. Both have left legacies. I have inherited Aller's and you, Washington's." John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the church, similarly attested his regard for Mr. Washington. "General Armstrong," he declared, "first interested me in Booker T. Washington. Since that time I have followed in his path. During my association with him I always found him willing to help others in the cause of racial progress." Others who spoke included Bishops L. N. Ross and A. L. Ross and Reverends R. R.

P Social Activities of the Catholics (By Francis Sprigge) Charles County Improvement club No. 1, annual tea, was one of the most brilliant social events ever held in the Catholic Circle. It marked a forward step in the social development of the race. This annual tea was held on Sunday, February 21, at the Holy Name Guild Building. It was a beautiful and PETER colorful event and brought together one of the most representative gatherings ever assembled here. One of the striking features of the event was the reciting of Mrs. Edna French and Mr. Edward Saunders. The members of the club in their effort to give this event, measured up to the highest standard. At the tea table Mrs. Nannie Wilson was the chairman and Mrs. Lucy Diggs presided, assisted by other ladies of the club. Mrs. Chapman presided over the refreshment table, assisted by others. Mrs. Violet McKinney presided at the punch table assisted by others. The club was favored with the assistance of Miss Susie Holton and Mrs. Wade. Those in the receiving line were Mrs. A. J. Webster, president, Mrs. Rosina Brown, Miss Daisy Pierce, Mrs. M. E. Webster and Mrs. Nannie Wilson. Mr. W. B. Wade introduced the guests. Mr. Henry Short presided at the door. Miss Wilson took charge of the silver-offering at the door. Mrs. Matilda Estridge the hostess to the members of the Jolly Sixteen Club at her residence on 17th Street, after the regular routine of business the members of the club were invited to the dining room and served with a sumptuous repast. There was a delightful surprise awaiting. Being the birthday of two of the members, two birthday gifts were given. Mrs. Irving a beautiful pocketbook and Mrs. Spriggs a fountain pen. The meeting was largely attended. At a recent special meeting of the Second District Commandery of the Knights of St. John with Col. L. Dee Reef Holton, presiding, several very important things came up. The Knights of St. John Band, a May Ball and the annual Vesper service and in their effort to make these events measure up to the highest standard, committees were appointed to arrange for these great affairs. Lt. Frank Lee of No. 8 Commandery noted as a great promoter of Commandery Balls, was elected chairman to assure success. Lt. Col. John Lancaster, Lt. Gywn and Lt. Kenny were appointed to arrange for the Vesper Services. Major John Gresham is put in charge of getting the various commanderies support and cooperation for the band. The Commandery was the escort and guard of honor to Father Duckette on Sunday February 21 at St. Augustine's Church and on Monday at St. Cyprian's Church with the Colonel and Lt. Colonel in charge respectively. During Lent, there are so many little ways in which we can sanctify the Lenten Season. Many people, in fact, most of us, must admit that we cannot keep the Lenten fast as rigorously as the Church desires us to do. While we are dispensed from severe fasting, shall we make that an excuse for neglecting to perform any other acts of self-denial and mortification. Little things, such as taking a little more of those foods we do not relish, or a little less of that which is pleasing to us, giving up the eating of sweets, staying away from amusements and so forth. These are all little acts of self denial. Many times these acts cost us more will-power and more effort to perform than some great action. They are pleasing to God, for He sees our good will, and that He will reward. He that is faithful in little things for Him, one day great things shall be asked.

LOCAL SORORITY OBSERVES FINER WOMANHOOD WEEK Continued from page (1) The young women in the Ranklin chapel must have received new inspiration and greater desire to work for "Finer Womanhood" after listening to the unusual address delivered by Miss Mary L. Mason, one of Washington's cultured teachers. She is a graduate of Howard University and has received honorable mention from both Columbia and George Washington Universities. She said in part: "Now let us consider the Negro Woman of America, heiress of all ages, keeper of a priceless treasure, maker of a race, bearer of burdens, mother of sorrows, what of her? What is she? What has she done? How shall we find in her our priceless pearl?" "To this woman, Heaven has granted the supreme opportunity, not paralleled in the history of any other group, of a start in educational coequal with the man of her group. What potentialities are bound up in this opportunity?" "Let her feel with Dunbar, the Race as a great mother to be loved and exalted. Let her be consciously a Race builder; let her be above all, the keeper of the great unquenchable hope which I shall call the Star of Ethiopia." "Who knoweth but what this lithe, emotional, twilight daughter has come into the Kingdom of America and the world for such a task as this?" TRUSTEES TO SELL UNDER ORDERS FROM JUSTICE HITZ TRUSTEES TO SELL UNDER ORDERS FROM JUSTICE HITZ Continued from page (1) for the District of Columbia, Allan A. C. Griffith and Dr. Elias G. Evans asked the court recently to appoint receivers and trustees to sell the property at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, and also at Fifth and Virginia Avenue, Southwest. The request for the appointment of receivers and trustees to sell the property of the New Masonic Hall Corporation was based upon the report of a committee appointed by Justice Hitz for the purpose of procuring a loan sufficiently large to complete the structure. The committee reported that they were unable to secure a loan and recommended the sale of the unfinished structure. The members of this committee were Alexander Wolf, William L. Houston, Herbert L. Davis, Charles P. Ford, Grand Master of the District of Columbia, and Jesse H. Mitchell, president of the New Masonic Hall Corporation. A majority of the trustees of the New Masonic Hall Corporation agreed that the unfinished structure at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, should be sold for the protection of the stockholders, judgment creditors and persons who had liens against the uncompleted building. They denied, however, that it was necessary for the property at Virginia Avenue and Fifth Streets, Southeast, be sold as the total indebtedness is not more than $55,000. Through Attorneys Houston and Houston, Jesse H. Mitchell Frank D. Kirney, Philip W. Thomas, Achibald Runner, William H. Cowan, Paul-R. Stewart, John S. George, Benjamin F. Arrington, George L. Sydnor, Ernest M. Dickerson and Marie L. Johnson, constituting a majority of the trustees of the New Masonic Hall Corporation denied that it was impossible to obtain a loan to complete the structure. They claimed that the New Masonic Hall Corporation contracted for two loans aggregating $200,000; to be secured by two deeds of trusts. One loan of $125,000 was to be placed by Glover and Flather, brokers of 737 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, and the other was to be procured by the Weller Company. Litigation, however, prevented the consummation of these loans. As late as February 20, 1926, an offer to finance the completion of the structure was received from W. H. C. Brown, an investment banker of Newport News, Va. His proposal carried with it not only the financing of the building, but the procuring of a satisfactory contractor to do the work. The building when complete under his proposal was to be a building adequate for the needs of the fraternity and would have had such other revenue producing features as would have made the building self-supporting. The original suit seeking an accounting, a receivership and an injunction against the trustees of the New Mismison Hall Corporation was filed on March 17, 1925. With a view to conserving the property, Justice Hitz on March 12, 1925, appointed a committee to negotiate a loan sufficiently large to liquidate existing indebtedness and complete the structure. On January 20, 1926, the committee recommended the sale of the building, reporting to the court that they were unable to obtain a loan sufficiently large to complete it.

PAGE SIX FLOWERS: BEATS GREB Wins Middleweight orn “New York, Mar, 1—“Tiger” Flow: ‘ers, the Georgia Deacon, won the middleweight one of the ‘world last Friday night when he de- feated Harry Greb, defending title- holder, in a fierce fifteen-round strug- .gle in the new Masison Square Garden. Verdict Well Received The verdict was well received. The new middleweight king got a fine hand ‘as he left the ring in a frenzy of ex- citement, while the dethroned champ- ion was the ‘recipient of some very audible booing, due probably to the fact that he frequently engaged in questionable tactics, particularly at elose quarters. The fact that it was the first big championship mixed match proved 2 big magnet and the fans swarmed to the Garden, about 18,000 attending. at was the greatest crowd since the ‘opening of Tex Rickard’s fight palace. Not since the days of Jackson, Wal- cott and Gans was there such an in- terest in a colored fighter. Flowers had Harlem with him to a man, and Jong before the bell sounded they were confident that the “Tiger” would be returned the winner. The contest was exciting because it ‘was desperately fought by a champion slipping into defeat and a challenger spurred under the lash of prospective victory. Greb tried to the best-of his: ability, but his best Friday night was mot comparable to the best of the Greb of a past day.- He lacked all his old fire and vigor and was off in his ‘timing and hitting. Flowers, on the other hand, fought the same steady battle from first bell to last. He was undeniably the ag- gressor, and scored countless points on ‘this score. He also landed the greater number of punches, out-fighting Greb at all times. Flower's greatest weapon on the of- fensive was a right to the body. A southpaw fighter, who stands with the right leg and arm extended in unor- thodox style, Flowers clubbed this ‘Blow to the ribs and to the region of Greb’s heart until the defending cham- pion's body was re dand raw. To this blow Flowers added a slapping, oul ing left which was neither a hook nor a swing. /Flowers lands most of his blos with the side of his fists. He didn’t show Friday night that he was capable of landing a straight jab or a Swing of standard variety. ) Flowers started on the attack with the opening gong and didn't relinquish ‘the offensive tereafter, except at rare ~and short-lived intervals, when Greb fought desperately to stem the tide. As the battle progressed it developed into a struggle of trickery and all ac- cepted rules of the ring were side- “tracked. Holding and hitting were conspicuous, as was also wrestling. Each indulged, with Greg the greater offender. At one stage of the bout Flowers: looked appealing at Referee ‘Smith and complained that Greb was using is thumb. ” Greb gave a flash of the old Greb in the fourth when he swarmed all over Flowers and buried theTiger under a hail of blows with both hands. Through the fifth session, too, Greb flashed ‘some of his fiery assaults and Zor a time he caused Flowers no end of trouble, but the champion weak- ened under his own pace and in the succeeding five rounds Flowers showed to advantage. In the eleventh the ac- tion lagged, but in the twelfth Greb had another, and what proved to be his last offensive spurt, and out-fought his rival. Through the going three rounds, however, the Pittsburgher was plainly spent and he was beaten at ‘every turn. Dempsey- Wills Fight Banned Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey will mever fight for the heavyweight championship of thé world, says, Hype Igoe, boxing expert of the New York World. He says: “I think Rickard knows what he has _ been talking about all along. I think the as been warned to lay off, as he ‘was when the match was first pro posed.

A. A. The indications are that Howard University desires to resume athletic rela- tions with members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. In a recent newspaper release coming from Howard University, it was stated that negotiations were being carried on whereby athletic relations between Lincoln University and the other members of the Colored Inter- collegiate Athletic Association would be resumed and Lincoln given per, mission to engage in sports with Howard University. The release further stated that these negotiations would result in the rescinding. of the resolution adopted by the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association which would be a ban on its members competing in athletics against Howard University. Lincoln,’ it will be reealled, did not withdraw from the Colored Inter-colle- giate Association, but insisted upon carrying out a contract with Howard University calling for last year’s Thanksgiving Day game. This resulted in a,break in athletic relations between Lincoln and the other members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. If the press release from Howard University aah the sense of the athletic authorities at that school—and there is every reason to believe that it does—it strikes us ‘that they-are seeking to do indirectly what should be done directly. Athletic relations between Howard and the members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association should be resumed, but first Howard should rejoin the ‘association, Fairness For Howard : °On the other hand, Howard should be dealt with in a spirit of fairness rather than as a beaten foe. e- It would be a fine thing if the whole question of rules involved in the con- troversy, which led to the withdrawal of Howard from the association, should be reopened and arbitrated. Sooner or later, every point involved in the controversy will have to be decided for the good éf collegiate athletics. Un- less they are, there will be a public seandal; for those interested in scholas- tic sports, at some stage of the game, will revolt against the participation in inter-collegiate athletics ®f men who are lacking in scholarship, students in professional schools, “tramp” athletés, freshmen, and several other classes. Compromise Plan We would suggest that a board of arbitration be chosen for the purpose of settling every point which had anything to do with Howard withdrawing from the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association three representa- tives, and these six representatives select three disinterested persons of the type of Ed Henderson, athletic director at Dunbar High School, and B. T. Harvey, athletic director at Morehouse College, who have thorough knowl- edge of the problems of scholastic sports. If any such plan could be agreed upon, the whole controversy could be settled satisfactorily, and there would be nothing in the way of the annual ‘Thanksgiving Day Lincoln-Howard football game, For Howard it would mean better and less expensive competition, For Lincoln it would mean a schedule that cannot be had while athletic relations are severed. For the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association it would mean @ bigger and Wetter organization, —_ - > te It ought to be done. Only the desire to rule or ruinistands between this accomplishment. “It was, clearly demonstrated that the color line cuts no ice with New York fistie fandom.

And we are now more certain than ever that, if Wills did win the title, it would be received as boxing results should be— the spoils to the winner and all credit to him, regardless of race or creed. “Both Flowers-and Wills are gentlemanly fellows, and truly a credit to the sport. “Another thing: Negro champions fight.

The Court of Appeals found no error in the record of the trial court. olmes had a lien trial. Chief Justice William J. Graham said in the opinion which he rendered affirming he judgement of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, "And all the rights which the law of the land are him." Holmes and Harry W. Freeman are arving sentences of life imprisonment or the killing of Policeman Leising-r. They were convicted of second agree murder. Holmes appealed. Policeman Leising-r was killed early on the morning of August 28, 824. After a sensational man-hunt, Holmes, Freeman, James A. Gross and selen Jackson were arrested for his path. About 4 o'clock on the morning of the killing, the four met at Seventh and S Streets, Northwest. Holmes was driving a touring car equipped with a smoke screen. They started out on a hunt for whiskey. At a place on P Street between First and Third, Freeman obtained a pint, returned to the automobile which was near North Capitol Street, and the three men drank, then started east to turn into North Capitol Street. As they turned the corner, Policeman Leisinger attempted to jump on the running board. He missed his hold out caught on the rear of the car. He began shooting. Holmes, who was driving, turned on the smoke screen, but this failed to dislodge him. Holmes then gave Freeman a gun. Freeman fired three shots through the back of the car. Leisinger's lifeless body was found in the street. Court's Opinion In its opinion the court said that it must be "conceded that the deceased, both by the common law and by authority of the acts of Congress rited, was authorized to arrest the appellant, without warrant, if at the time he was violating any act of Congress or any municipal ordinance or regulation then in force in the District of Columbia." With reference to whether or not Holmes knew that Leisinger was an officer the court said: "It is insisted by the appellant that he had no notice of the official character of the deceased. Here, also, there is a conflict of testimony. If the appellant observed and recognized the uniform of the officer, this was sufficient to put him on notice." The court further declared that Helen Jackson recounted the circumstances and conservation occurring in the automobile during the affair, which, if believed by the jury, carries conviction to any unbaused mind that the appellant knew a policeman was upon the car and that appellant was doing all he could to dislodge and evade him and escape arrest." The opinion says that "It is claimed the appellant, because of the shots fired by the deceased had just reason to believe his life to be in danger, and could therefore take such measures as seemed necessary to protect himself from death or serious injury. "The jury might well believe the appellant did not believe himself in imminent danger when he handed a weapon to Freeman, requesting him to use it. There was ample testimony from which the jury might conclude that the appellant went far beyond the necessities of the case, even conceding his belief that Leisinger was a trespasser. If he did self-defense is eliminated. On the other hand, if he knew Leisinger was an officer in the discharge of his duty, and trying to arrest him, and proceeding within the limit of his authority, it was his duty to submit to such arrest; in such case he had no right, under the law, to forcibly resist." Holmes and Freeman are in the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Helen Jackson and Gross were freed. Juvenile Patient Improving Little Miss Juanita Crawford who have been quite ill in Freedman's Hospital with appendicitis is improving and expects to return to her home, in the next week.

Hilliard of Chicago gave a demonstration to the students of the medical school on dislocations of the various parts of the body and different anatomical abnormalities. Dr. Hilliard has been, making these demonstrations, for the past 25 years in various medical schools throughout the world. THE PASSING OF THE COUNTRY DOCTOR A problem much discussed in the medical journals of late years has been "the nursing of the world." This is a particularly important one for many rural communities. The old country doctor is dying off, and the occasional young graduate who tries to take his place finds that he cannot make enough money to be a reasonable, or even a decent reward for the many years it has taken him to get his education. He finds, too that the country people no longer are content with the sources of one man "who attends, or tries to attend, to patients of all sorts, and the sufferers go to the nearest city hospital. CHI DELTA MU HEALTH COMMITTEE Alpha Chapter Logan W. Horton, Chairman "PREVENTION OF COLDS" The infection of the upper respiratory tract—the nose, throat and the upper trachea aor wind pipe, is known by the popular name of cold. Colds are due to the inhalation of germs, dust particles or poisonous gases. Germs are responsible for over ninety-five percent of all colds. The breathing of air contaminated with irritating gases—coal gas, fumes from oil stoves, or automobiles cause colds frequently. In mine and flour mills where the air is ladened with dust, colds are very common among the workmen. The prevention of colds is possible if the proper preventative procedures are followed. Among the conditions that predispose to infection of the upper respiratory tract or the contracting of colds, are: an overworked and under nourished body, diseased tonsils and bad teeth. The body under normal conditions or when healthy, is capable of protecting itself from those germs which cause colds. When due to overwork or under nourishment the body becomes run down, the natural defensive forces are weakened and less effective in their fight against the invasion of the respiratory apparatus by germs. Diseased tonsils and bad teeth act as depots for the development of poisonous products which circulate in the blood and diminish the resistance of the body. Colds can be prevented by keeping away from people who have colds, especially during the "flu" epidemics. Keep your body built up by eating nutritious foods, by sleeping eight hours and by exercising outdoors in the sunshine everyday. Live and work in well ventilated rooms. Windows should be open at least twice a day, even during the winter for complete change of air. Keep your feet dry. An extra pair of shoes and hose will add to your health and comfort when you are caught without rubbers. Always cool off gradually, if you are perspiring, an electric fan or a cool breeze may start a cold. Have diseased tonsils treated and if necessary removed. Fill bad teeth and remove those which are beyond repair. Breathe through your nose. Air is filtered as it passes along the nasal passage on its way to the lungs. The mouth breathe takes an excessive number of gerns directly into its throat. When working in plants or factories where the air is laden with dust, a mask should be worn. If this is not at hand a wet handkerchief placed around the nose and mouth will often suffice. Always see that your gas jets are completely closed before going to bed. Do not keep the garage door closed while working on a running gasoline motor. Do not heat your room with gas fumes from an open heater. The common cold is responsible for a greater economical loss to the working man than any other sickness. Further, frequent colds, weaken the resistance of the body and make it an easy prey to other diseases, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, typhoid and a host of others. If after complying with the above rules, you persist in catching colds, consult your-physician. The United States Court of Claims last Monday morning dismissed the suit of E. W. Bliss Company of New York against the United States for the sum of $715,200. The Government was represented by Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, and Louis R. Mehlinger, associate attorney. The suit grew out of the construction of torpedoes for the Navy Department at a fixed price for each torpedo. When labor conditions made it apparent that a strike was about to ensue, the Bliss Company increased its wages in order to deliver these torpedoes during the war emergency. The Bliss Company claimed that it was entitled to reimbursement by reason of certain informal authorizations by the Navy Department. Attorneys Howard and Mehlinger contended for the Government that the Bliss Company was obligated to manufacture and deliver these torpedoes under the provisions of the several contracts, and asked the court to dismiss the suit, which it did. NEW YORK Y CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY The 135th Street Branch of the New York City Y. M. C. A. celebrated it's 25th anniversary with appropriate ceremonies last Sunday afternoon. Cleveland E. Dodge, president of the organization in New York; Henry Parker, chairman of the Branch Board of Managers; and the General Secretary of the "Y"; Rev. Hutchins Bishop and Dr. Jesse E. Moorland were the speakers. The New York "Y" is perhaps the largest and busiest of the chain of Negro units in the organization. Secretary Taylor who has been in charge for the greater part of its existence has 38 assistants of varying types. The annual salary list $28,000 and the budget for a years operation totals $84,000. The late Rey. C. T. Walker is credited with initiating the "Y" in New York* in 1901 when he had an establishment opened on 53d Street, in a private house.

This amendment was offered by Representative Butler B. Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina. It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The amendment provides that "where a person enters into a written contract with another person for personal services to be performed within one year, with intent to injure, cheat, or defraud, and receives in advance the consideration in whole or in part and then, with like intent and without just causes, fails and refuses to perform or execute such contract, it shall not be unlawful to hold, arrest, cause to be arrested, return or cause to be returned such persons for the purpose of having, such persons tried in a court of competent jurisdiction." The amendment also provides that "Such person shall, upon conviction in any Federal or United States court, be fined not more than $500, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both." The law as it now stands makes any persons, who holds, arrests, returns, or in any manner aids in the arrests or returns of any person to a condition of peonage, is subject to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both. REPORT OF Y.W.C.A. WORK GIVEN TO AID DRIVE The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. is one of the links in the great chain of Y. W. C. A. organizations encircling the world, working to give women and girls of 48 nations a fuller life. As a girl expressed it: "What a single person is unable to do, a great and mighty organization can succeed in, all working for the same purpose with many others." At Phyllis Wheatley in 1925 besides the general membership activities there were seven industrial and business girls' clubs and eleven girl reserve clubs, giving organization, self-government and fellowship. Through social meetings, gymnasium work, aesthetic dancing, swimming, hiking basketball, tennis—both indoor and outdoor—they had recreation. In study clubs they had Bible, dress-making, millinery, flower-making, book reviews, mother craft, family life problems and lectures. There were housed in the building 75 permanent guests, 473 transient and 144 others applied and were unable to secure accommodation, 366 persons were aided in securing employment. There were 12 traveler's aid cases and 54 others given assistance; 136 went to summer camp at Arundel-on-the-Bay. There are some women who have been employed 21 years of continuous service to this work, among whom may be mentioned Miss E. F. G. Merritt Miss M. P. Shadd and Mrs. A. E. Cromwell. Others, have given money, so as to become co-workers in helping girls and women to a fuller life. The operation of the 1926 program as arranged for Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. depends upon receiving $10,000 from those who are giving financial assistance. CLOTHING WORKINGM Play a sure winner this week. It's made, slightly used spring suits and Strong working pants $2.

Church, Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity of Howard University school of law rendered a program before a large audience. Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity includes some talented students of the University, many of whom are degree students from leading colleges. From such material the committee had little difficulty in selecting a good program. The topic for discussion was "Neglected areas in the country" which was interestingly developed by Messrs. Bright, Clarkson and Wesson. Mr. Bright emphasized the fact that the great influx of the Negro migrants from the southern to the northern sections of the United States created new problems and new neglected areas that must be considered by the leaders of our group. Mr. Clarkson emphasized the fact that it was incumbent upon the many Howard graduates who are virtually satisfied to work at $75 messenger jobs in the city to go out and explore the neglected areas and scatter the --- 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 METROPOLITAN A Rich "City Within a City" A Home Paper that's a Necessity A Direct Road into 24,500 Families A Group Reader Interest, and Confidence is what THE TRIBUNE offers—the something none of the daily papers can now offer in this city.

Three young ladies contributed numbers, reading by Miss Foster, instrumental selection by Miss McCree and a vocal selection by Miss King, a senior in Howard Music Department. ChiefJustice John J. Seabrook closed the program suggesting Christian Brotherhood throughout the world. Mr. Mark H. Robinson, acted as master of ceremony. The church and Christian Endeavor League applauded the excellent program that E. E. Perry was instrumental in bringing to them. MINISTER DELIVERS APPRECIATION OF PRESS Rev. H. B. Taylor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church who has been conducting a series of pre-sermon addresses upon subjects pertinent to the Race on each Sunday morning, has for the past several weeks been devoting this five minute period to the Negro Press. In his concluding reference to the Press he said in part: Final Words on Negro Press "In these final words on the Negro Press I would begin by saying that we should realize that, for us, the Negro Press serves a purpose that would not be otherwise served without it. Every considerable group to be found in the body politic of this our heterogenous nation have their own publications devoted to the building up of their morale and to the promotion of their own peculiar aims. They do not leave it to aliens and strangers, so far as their particular groups are concerned, to determine the kind of food that their hearts and intellects are to feed upon. And we must say that, from our general observations and experience, they are not wrong in thus endeavoring to do for themselves to their own satisfaction what others would but scarcely touch and that with marked reluctance. "We should realize that one well organized and edited Negro Journal contains more inspirational power for the thoughtfullness of our Race than a month's issue of our most popular non-Negro daily, and that its careful perusal in our homes arms us with facts, which become in the grasp of our minds, the two-edged sword of truth, with which we strike down on our right, the blustering buffon of Nordic supremacy, and on our left the phantom of our racial inferiority complex. As a rule, the greatest pessimism as to our future is to be found among those who do not regularly read our publications and the greatest optimism among those who do."

And in their pictured advertisements they seem to try to drive home into the minds of all races, the idea that the proper relationship of our race to others is that of the menial servant. Wherever we appear we are portrayed as cooks, butlers, porters, maids, washwomen and showing gleaming teeth, of satisfaction, happy in the services of the whites. They magnify and herald the records of our exaggerated crimes while they minimize or suppress the records of our grand achievements. Their propaganda is effective in engendering even in us, diffidence and despair and, as we see it, one of the surest ways of checkmating and overcoming these hostile forces, is to meet them on their own battleground by presenting to the minds of our people the Negro as the serious, sober-minded, progressive being that he is, who has daily dared the white man to meet him in open competition for the laurels of supremacy. "By our subscriptions we should endeavor to build up our racial news organs to the end that more of our brainset men and women might be induced to equip themselves for journalistic careers, determined to feed the reading and thinking part of the human family upon such food as will cause them to grow into the realization that the Negro American is a glorious asset to his country, and that the dark skinned peoples of the world have been sinned against more than they have sinned." Musical Entertainment Featured Day The services last Sunday were well attended. Reverend Taylor preached ed in the morning while Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor emeritus of the New York Presbyterian Church occupied the pulpit to address the mens' club at 6 p. m. On Friday evening, the Strangers Club conducted a musical and literary entertainment in which Mr. Elzie S. Hoffman, Miss Margaret Smith, Miss Ada Williams, Stanley J.

ADY NOW in One Week's Pay OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COLORED ACTORS UNION There is a rumor afloat to the effect that the Alhambra theatre, the old Keith house on 125th street New York is to become a colored stock company house. It has been off the bigtime bookings of the better class for a season or two. H. D. Collins, the New York agent advises that he has changed his office address: 'He is now located in room 712, Columbia Theatre Building. Sounds as if he may be getting into the lucrative burlesque game. Harry Wilks and Commissioner Morton were among the honored guests at Monarch Lodge Elks' ball in Madison Garden New York where 16,000 Elks and their friends assembled. It was the largest dance ever given by Negroes in New York. Zadie Jackson replaced Evelyn Preer in the cast of "Lulu Belle" last week when Miss Preer was called to her home in Indianapolis because of the illness of her mother. The Hoofers club has been reorganized, and according to "Chich" Mc Kinney the secretary, it will abandon the cabaret features and confine its functions to being a performers rendezvous. The address remains the same 2237 Seventh Avenue New York City. Bandmaster W. E. Mason who will again be in charge of the 101 Ranch band is wintering at 645 Stephen Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. Charles E. Smith, a former Washington boy who is a female impersonator informs us through Thomas Person that he is doing well at the head of a ten person tabloid in New York working in white houses. His mother Mrs. Ada Smith of 921 Fourth Street, northwest has been quite ill in Washington obliging him to come home for a while. Roy B.

Arthur plays the Murray Theatre, Ponca City, Oklahoma, week of March 8th. Jenkins and Jenkins, after a few weeks rest in Washington open next week at the Standard, Philadelphia. They go into New York to the Lincoln the week following with the Orpheum Theatre, Newark set for a later date. Kirkpatrick and Bowman have been visiting with an aunt of Laura Bowman at 1129 Third street, northwest, Washington, D.C. Sidney was a pleasant visitor at the Tribune office and reports his wife (Miss Bowman) as in excellent health and spirits. Their new act is reported upon favorably by all critics. Walter Plimmer has moved his office from the Romax building, New York to the Strand Theatre building on Broadway at 47th Street. He will hereafter engage in general casting in addition to vaudeville booking. The Plantation Room management is using some cartoon style of advertising in New York dailies for the Florence Mills show billied as "Lew Leslies' Blackbirds of 1926." Mise Mills' facial expression is distorted horribly in the pictures used to create a comedy effect that is far from pleasing. It is certainly not complimentary to an artist of her calibre. Terre Haute approved "Shufflin Sam" according to the ten inch double column criticism that appeared in the Daily Tribune of that city after the appearance of the show there. Phil Taylor has revived the "Girlie and Her Dandies" act. Louis Vastory, member of a musical trio was killed in New York last week during the intermission of a club engagement in the 116 St. district of the East side. "Sugarfoot" Cooksey, and an associate were injured. The assailants were unknown. Philadelphia Pleased With Ebony Follies Philadelphia Pleased With Ebony Follies The Ebony Follies Company opened at John T. Gibson's Theatre, Philadelphia, on Monday for a week's engagement, and a wired report on the show indicates that it has hit the Quaker town with favor. Briefly the show is an artistic success and a box office success as well. When the doughty little major dome of things theatrical smiles his benediction on an attraction, it has sure made good for him. Mr. Gilroy, company manager was taken suddenly ill and obliged to retire from active duties in Philadelphia, Our own Billy Bradford is caring for the business interests of the show pending his recovery.

The annual election of Directors of the Colored Actors Union took place on the last Sunday in February at the Komedy Klub auditorium in Washington, the Union Headquarters in the Mid City Theatre Building being too small to accommodate the members in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Paul Carter, senior Vice President in attendance, in the basse of Jules McGarr, president, who is touring in the south with his show. After opening the meeting, he turned the gavel over to J. A. Jackson, who was asked to preside. The first order of business was the reading of the report of the Union representative in attendance at the sessions of the Stockholders of the Theatre Owners Booking Association. The report was received and adopted. On motion, the meeting went into election. "Boots" Hope and Telfair Washington secretary were named as tellers, and the mail vote counted to which was added the written ballots of those present in person. The result was then announced, and it was found that Jules McGarr, Al. Wells, Eugene Hooten, Wesley Wilson, Bart Kennett, Telfair Washington, Henri Bowman, Sammy Graham, S. H. Dudley, J. A. Jackson, Garnett Warbington, were holders of the highest number of votes. That considerable interest was manifested in the election is indicated by the number of scattered votes that were cast for others than those named on the official ballot. Among those nominated in this fashion and who received complimentary ballots were Billy Bradford, Lonnie Fisher, Paul Carter, Happy Dover, Sidney Easton, Jack Cooper, C. Lockhart, B. Walker and Boots Hope whose ballots almost equalled the number cast for the regular ticket. A directors meetingf will be called soon and the executive officers for the year will be selected from among those who composed the board. Pertinent Matters The high lights of the report is as follows: The representative was permitted KIKE GRESHAM SUCGEEDS COY HERNDON AS STAGE MANAGER SILAS AGAIN IN FLORIDA The "Silas Green from New Orleans" show has reopened, and is touring Florida, covering the spots that Manager Charles Collier was unable to cover on his last tour because of Railway embargoes. The show has been revamped. Coy Herndon is not with the show but has remained in Miami caring for really interests there. Kike Gresham has assumed charge of the stage. Wesley Varnell, the old bill posting publicity man is ahead of the show. Johnson Rooks continues as business manager. "Whoopee" Jack Puggsley continues to make the announcements and handle publicity with the show. John Ivy remains as band leader. There have been many additions to the band. The show was in Eustis, Florida when last heard from. The live show John Ivy, Ed. Billuys, R. Nelson, L. Booker, W. Hobbs, B. Young, E. C. Eley, L. Pediford, C. Garnett, M. Penny, J. Rickson, A. A.

Wiggins, and James Hudson, constitute the The Washington Tribune News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements to sit in all sessions of the Stockholders, the Directors and the conference of the Executive officers. The Circuit granted to the Union jurisdictional rights over complaints of performers against managers. The machinery set up to handle these matters is that a complaining performer will write to General Manager Sam Reevin, with copy to the office of the Colored Actors Union. These officials will attempt to make an adjustment. Failing to do so, they will select a disinterested person to pass with them on the matter. The findings of this group shall be binding upon Circuit managers and performers involved. Contracts are to be revised and made uniform. Cancellations are to be made impossible after a given period of time, the number of days to be determined at the next directors meeting. The routine is to be straightened out and the whole circuit covered in a regular-route that will preclude excessive railroading. Next session to see a number of acts and shows provided with complete tours of four units of weeks. ACTORS UNION DAY when either a day's income or a midnight ramble for the benefit of the Union home and charity fund was granted. Correspondence from Knockers, one performer informing upon another act or show will hereafter be sent to the office of the Union for publication. Performers failing to notify acceptance or rejection of contracts tendered, will be penalized with Union approval. All acts will send in filled out cards that will give complete description and personnel of their act or show. Agreement was reached to instruct performers to keep booking offices informed as to hotel, stopping place or residence addresss to reduce the loss of mail and cut down telegraph costs. All personal complaints taken by the Representative to the meeting were adjusted so that the performers involved were restored to full standing on the circuit. band; men—J. C. Davis, straight; M.

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1926 FROM PERFORMER TO PREACHER Via "Red Cap" Route Many of the older performers will remember, Alpha Comedy Four composed of Tom Cross, Dooley Wilson the late William Scudder and Ernest Lawson. Few there are who know the whereabouts of the former members of the old vaudeville quartette One among them, however, is "sticking out" just now by virtue of Lester Walton who has made him a feature story subject in the Sunday New York World of February 28. Two pictures adorned the story, one showing Lawson as a black-faced comedian, and the other "straight." It is now Rev. Ernest A. Lawson, assistant pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, New York. For some years past, he has supported his six children by working as a red cap at Grand Central station, New York; and has found time to complete a theological course under the tutelage of Rev. J. D. Bushnell. Rev. Lawson is as efficient a performer from the platform and in the pulpit as he was when his act was a headliner in vaudeville. His religious zeal is real, and he is a most practical sort of minister of the gospel whose every-day functions are co-ordinated with his preachings. The editor of this page has the pleasure of knowing this man who has made a sacrificial struggle to attain the ministry and who is a credit to the cloth. BAD CONDITIONS REPORTED BAD CONDITIONS REPORTED Sammy Graham who played the Broklyn Theatre, Wilmington, N.C week of February 22, reports that the business does not warrant accepting the date on a percentage basis. He also advises that the dressing rooms are terrible. The place is very unsuitary due to the fact that since December 1, the house has been without a water supply. Sammy was unable to attend the Annual meeting of the C. A. U. but prepared his proxy before leaving Washington and left it with the secretary. He plays the Stevenson Theatre, Goldsboro, week of March 1. "Georgias" Feature at Mardi Gras The O'Brien Georgia Minstrels played the Lyric Theatre, New Orleans, during Mardi Gras week; and the midnight show attracted the largest patronage of whites that the house has ever experienced. The show was much as to fit into the mood of the big holiday visitors. They Approve of the Tribune Last week's mail brought some very fine expressions of approval, and assurances of friendship and future business for the Tribune from people important in the show world. Among the correspondents were "Doc" Oyler side show manager of the 101 Ranch; Charles A. Somma, manager of the Bluebird Theatre Corporation operators of six theatres in Richmond, including the Hippodrome; and Johnnie J. Jones, the Carnival magnate. Each writes personal letters in considerate tones. NOW A DOG COMEDY The Educational Film Company is releasing a new type of film comedy. It features a dog in a comedy part. The title is "Run Tin Can." "Run Tin Can," the new Educational-Christie Comedy, while not a burlesque on Rin-Tin-Tin, the famous dog actor, has a Shepherd dog as one of the principal actors, that knows his stuffs and helps a lot towards making the picture a great comedy success. The Christie dog actor, Brownie, looks like a thoroughbred Shepherd, but is not. His mother was a thoroughbred but his father was Brownie the first, just a bull terrier, but one of the most famous dogs ever seen on the screen. The original Brownie died last year, and now Brownie, his son, is holding up the reputation of the family. All Acts, Companies and Theatre Managers Communicate with the T. O. B. A.

MARTIN KLEIN—Overton Bldg., 3621, So. State Street, Chicago, II ARBITRATION REPORT CON CERNING T. O. B. A. AND CUMMINGS CIRCUIT AGREEMENT DESIGNED TO RELIEVE CONGESTION AT NEW ORLEANS The subject of relations between the T. O. B. A. Circuit and the Cummings' Circuit, and the movement of acts according to contracts between these two organizations was submitted to a Board of Arbitration composed of Mr. E. L. Cummings, Mr. Sam E. Reevin and the Reprentative of the C. A. U. It is conceded that acts may or may not play the Florida territory as they may desire. It is known that to refuse to play Pensacola is to accept a layoff for a week as no theater in either organization can be reached in time for opening. Therefore, your representative agreed that it is to the advantage of all concerned to play Pensacola, and Mr. Cummings concedes that playing this one stand does not obligate the acceptance of the other theaters on the time, if the desire is not to so do it is made at the time of acceptance of the Pensacola contract. The Arbitration Board further agreed and adopted a ruling that in event of refusing the Pensacola engagement that a week's layoff should be accepted after New Orleans; and that during this week no engagement to pla yindependent dates should be accepted. Gulfport and Mobile theatres are not members of either organized circuitt. They are thus to be regarded as opposition to the organizations that provide the major employment to the members of the union. Acts will not make engagements for these theaters independently except when due to the T. O. B. A. failing to take the show out of New Orleans in two weeks under which condition as a matter of need the acts and shows may play these theaters. This is for your information and you may be governed accordingly. Ratified by C. A. U., February 18, 1925.

Garnet (Buttermilk) Warbington, Loud Speaker Charlezetta Warbington, Proprietress 1225 Seventh St., N.W., Wash., D.C. (Cut this from the paper) (You may need it) G. A. Pickett, the new Vice President for the New England States is some hustler. He has already arranged for corners in Brideport, Waterbury, Connecticut and is busy lining up Boston for this summer's activities. Vice President W. C. T. Ayres was in Cleveland last week. He reports favorably upon the live corner, though he did not meet Senior Deacon Sams, much to his expressed regret. Circuit Rider "Famous Slim" Austin, writes from way out in Idaho assuring continued interest though he will be far from the most of us, on the Pacific coast and in the Rocky Mountain states for some months. He is bandmaster with the Beck and Walker minstrels. Chattanooga Corner missed an opportunity to create five Deafons when the Susie Sutton company played the town. Wake up, boys, and don't overlook those matters, for they come to the notice of the General office sooner or later. STILL SMASHING RECORDS "Shufflin' Sam from Alabama" continues to smash records. The show took $784.12, and turned 'em away on a one-night stand at Marion, Ohio, and at Peru, Ind., did the same with a gross of $905.50. George Barton has sure piloted the Nay brothers attraction into money-making spots. James Wingfield of Hall Square Building, Chicago, has been assigned to the hadning of the bookings in the Mid-western territory. A MINIATURE CIRCUS TO OPEN IN CADA Chimingo, the fire-caterer and torture fanatic, has joined a partnership with Ernest Lafayette at Saskatoon, Can.
