LOCAL PYTHIANS START SUIT TO CLEAR UP TITLE TO TEMRLE HERE FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION VA. I LOCAL PYTHIANS TO CLEAR UP TEMRLE A suit for an accounting, a receivership and substitution of trustees was filed last Thursday on behalf of the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia through Attorneys J. Wilmer Latimer and George C. Gertman against Lawrence E. Murray, of 2105 Twelfth Street, Northwest. The plaintiffs in the suit are Edward W. Bundy, grand chancellor, 649 Florida Avenue, Northwest; Melvin J. Key, grand prelate, 1715 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest; J. Clay Smith, grand keeper of records and seals, 1117 N Street, Southeast; William W. Cohran, grand master of exchequer, 315 U Street, Northwest, and Stewart E. Minor, grand master at arms, 1309 Riggs Street, Northwest. The suit involves the property at the corner of Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, which is known as the Pythian Temple. The grand lodge claims the ownership of this property, which, the plaintiffs say, was purchased by it on January 8, 1917, for approximately $41,000, from John W. Lewis and William A. Bowie trestees, under a deed of trust from Effie Middleton. At the time of the purchase, it is alleged, this property was conveyed to John S. Johnson, J. Clay Smith and Lawrence E. Murray as trustees. Johnson died August 3, 1923, leaving Mr. Smith and Mr. Murray as trustees vested with the legal title. Three deeds of trust were executed to secure the balance of the purchase money for this property. The indebtedness secured by the third deed of trust has been fully paid. Approximately $2,000 has been paid on the principal and interest on the first trust, which is for $30,000. Approximately $1,500 has been paid on account of the principal and interest on the second trust, which is for $5,000. The balance of the principal is long past due. To Pay off Balance Under the terms of the trust, it became the duty of the trustees to mortgage this property further by deed of trust at the request and direction of the grand lodge, the plaintiffs say. The grand lodge decided to borrow $7,500 recently for the purpose of paying off the overdue balance of the debt secured by the second deed of trust, it is alleged, but after the loan had been arranged Mr. Murray peremptorily refused to comply with the directions of the grand lodge, although the securing of the loan had been authorized by a resolution adopted by the grand lodge at a special meeting January 16, 1926. Mr. Murray advised Grand Chancellor Bundy that "by reason of instructions in the premises from the Supreme Chancellor, Sir S. W. Green, I beg leave to advise that I am unable to comply with the requests set forth in the aforementioned resolutions." Pursuant to another resolution passed at the special grand lodge meeting, Grand Chancellor Bundy, it is claimed, demanded the resignation of Mr. Murray as a co-trustee for his refusal to sign the deed of trust, Mr. Murray has not yet tendered his resignation. Since the death of Mr. Johnson, it is alleged, Mr. Murray has been managing the Pythian Temple and collecting rents. For this service he receives a salary of $100 a month. Mr. Murray has periodically submitted to the grand lodge a state- PYTHIAN BATTALION ELECTS OFFICERS From the headquarters of the First Battalion of the K. of P. of the Uniform Department, 328 Elm Street, Northwest, comes the report of the election of officers who are as follows: Garnet Co.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY RAC NS START SUIT UP TITLE TO E HERE POPE SAYS DARK RACES NOT INFERIOR POPE SAYS DARK RACES NOT INFERIOR Rome, March 5—The belief that the dark-skinned races are inferior to the white is a mistaken one, Pope Pius declares in an encyclical published today vigorously urging an increase in the number of native Catholic clergyman in the so-called uncivilized regions of the world. His holiness says that long experience proves that these peoples can compete with white races in mental acumen. "If in the heart of barbarous land," he writes, "there are found men who seem slow to learn; this is explainable by the conditions of their life, of which the restricted needs do not allow them to make large use of their intellect." MOTHER OF RAN-DOLPH IS DEAD MOTHER OF RAN-DOLPH IS DEAD New York, City—Mrs. Eljazebath R. Randolph, mother of A. Philip Randolph, co-editor of the Messenger Magazine, died Saturday afternoon at the Randolph residence at 148 West 142d street. Mr. Randolph, who is in Los Angeles in the interest of the Pullman Porters' Brotherhood, was unable to attend the funeral which was held Wednesday, March 10. Funeral arrangements were made by his wife, Mrs. Lucille Green-Randolph. Mrs. Randolph went to New York City from her home in Jacksonville, Fla., about three weeks ago, hoping that the change would improve her failing health. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery. PERRY W. HOWARD BITTERLY ATTACKED IN CONGRESS In calling for consideration of House resolution 161, submitted by himself, Representative Jeff Busby of Mississippi, a Democrat, indulged himself in nearly a half hour's tirade against Perry W. Howard, national committeeman from Mississippi and his associates who control patronage distribution in the state under the policy of the national committee. This speech was made before Congress on Tuesday. The representative, though disputed by one of his colleagues, Representative P. E. Quin also of that state, declares that Mr. Howard, Mrs. E. P. Booze, national committeewoman, and her husband, and W. L. Mhoon, law partner of Mr. Howard, and A. M. and S. D. Redmond, half brothers of Howard, constitute a patronage trust who are selling government offices. Much of this might be regarded as typical Southern objections to Negro domination of the federal patronage in the South; however the resolution calls for the submission to congress of reports from the archives of the Department of Justice that Representative Busby declares are being suppressed through the influence of Mr. Howard's position as Special Assistant to the Attorney General at $5,000 per year. The resolution reads: "Resolved, that the Attorney General be, and is hereby, directed to transmit to the House for its information and guidance in such action as it deems necessary should be taken, the report of F. J. Blake and T. M. Daniel on the Mississippi patronage abuses charge and all evidence filed therewith." WASHINGTON, D. C.

PRINCIPAL'S COURSE AT CITY COLLEGE DENIED The College of the City of New York is reported to have denied Howard Day, a Negro school teacher of that city the privilege of registering for a principal's course that is essential to a promotion to the post of principal in the public school system of New York. Mayor Walker of the city has declined to be interviewed upon the subject, and William J. Shea, superintendent of the New York school system disclaims all responsibility for the alleged denial of the privilege. In response to Mr. Day's effort to register for the course, he received a letter from Dean Paul Klaffer of City College in which the registration was denied "for obvious reasons of relative class." Professor Day has been in Public School 88 in New York City for some years. Prior to that he had been principal of the colored schools of Atlantic City, N.J. New York has had one Negro principal. PASSES HOUSE WM. C. MATTHEWS, Special-Assistant U. S. Attorney General WM. C. MATTHEWS, Special-Assistant U. S. Attorney General MATTHEWS IS HONORED BY TAU DELTA Wm. C. Matthews, Special Assistant Attorney General of the U. S. A., had conferred upon him last week an honorary membership in the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity, a Greek letter college organization of lawyers and law school seniors. The occasion was made an evening of entertainment for the "Frat" boys and a group of important legal guests. The Fraternity at large includes in its membership virtually all of the race Lawyers of consequence in the community, and has a wide membership scattered throughout the country at large. The honorary membership conferred upon him is in keeping with the policy of the body to accord recognition and acclaim to those whom they regard as having brought distinction to the legal profession and to their race. Mr. Matthews is a native of Selma, Alabama, but has made his home in Boston, Massachusetts, since his Harvard University days. He graduated from Harvard in 1905, and while in school was a most spectacular member of the athletic clubs. He attracted nation-wide publicity for his prowess on the field. After leavinig school, he entered the practice of his profession in Massachusetts in 1908 and was later admitted to the United States Supreme Court bar. He became actively interested in politics, and in 1913-14, was assistant to the United States District Attorney for the Massachusetts District. Since then he has been a leader of national prominence in the Republican organization. He was virtually commander-in-chief of the last Coolidge campaign. At present, Mr. Matthews is in Washington in consultation with the Department of Justice, preliminary to assuming an assignment on a very important case that will be tried in one of the Districts. He very recently concluded cleaning up the congested docket at Springfield, Ill., where the United States District Attorney in charge expressed his appreciation for Mr. Matthews' services in very, high terms. He was the first Negro of such rank to have ever handled Government matters in that District. R. H. MURRAY TAKEN ILL Raymond H. Murray, manager of the Dunbar Theatre and a member of the Murray Brothers Printing Company, was taken ill at his residence, 925 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, on last Sunday with acute appendicitis and associated intestinal complications. He became sick at noon last Sunday and after examination by Dr. Marie B. Lucas, and a consultation with Dr. A. M. Curtis, a prompt operation was determined upon. The patient was moved to the Curtis Sanitarium at once and at seven p.m. was operated upon. The operation was a success and Mr. Murray is recuperating in a normal manner at the sanitarium. Assistant manager, Matthew Taylor is caring for the business affairs at the Dunbar, while Morris and Norman Murray, brothers, are supervising his other affairs. VIRGINIANS AIMING AT RACE PURITY NOT YET ACTED ON IN THE SENATE (From Richmond, Va., News Leader, of March 6) Virginia's racial integrity legislation advanced one more stage today as the new bill went to the senate with the approval of the house. It makes the marriage of a white person and a person of negro extraction a felony, repeals the registration provision of the 1924 act, and puts upon the state the burden of proof as to a person's non-white extraction. To attempt to intermarry with a person of negro extraction also is a felony under the measure, and it also is deemed a felony for a non-white person to attempt to marry a white person. It provides further that marriages prohibited by the act shall be void ab initio, whether they take place in Virginia or outside Virginia. Children from such marriages, however, shall be deemed legitimate. Delegate R. O. Norris, of Lancaster, patron of the bill, said that its provisions had as their object the checking of the influx of negro blood into the Caucasian race in Virginia. Persons of one-eighth or less pure American Indian blood are deemed white. And the bill, he said, does not affect the offspring of marriages of Americans with Orientals, although it would prohibit the marriage of white persons with persons ineligible as citizens of the United States; i.e., Japanese and Chinese. The vote on the bill in the house was 52 to 18. If the senate concurs the bill may have the most widespread effect throughout the country of any measure passed by a Virginia assembly since the slave trade was banned. The whole South, together with many Northern states have been watching the Virginia experiment in seeking to check miscegenation. A companion bill making miscegenation as well as inter-racial marriage a felony is on the calendar and is expected to pass. ASK CHANGE IN HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHARTER ASK CHANGE IN HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHARTER The General Alumni Association of Howard University is petitioning the Congress to amend the charter of Howard University to change the present method of selecting university trustees. The alumni is seeking to have the government of Howard University vested in a board of not less than eighteen trustees to be appointed and elected as follows: "One-third by the Commissioner of Education, one-third elected by a mail ballot of the alumni of the university under alumni auspices, and these two-thirds thus appointed and elected shall at their first meeting elect by a written ballot one-third additional trustees." Under this plan the terms of one-third of each group would expire in one year, one-third in two years, and one-third in three years. After the first election the term of each trustee would be for a period of three years. In support of their memorial the alumni charge that a large part of the failure "of the administration at Howard University to properly function is due to the undue influence exercised by a small group in the control of the University caused by the fact that the board is self-perpetuated and responsible to no one for its acts and has allowed a few aspirants for control to assume charge of affairs." A change in the method of electing or appointing trustees, the memorial says, "would reduce to a minimum the possibility of there being formed within in the board such small controlling group." The memorial is signed by George Frazier Miller, president, General Alumni Association, and Thomas A Johnson, secretary of the memoria committee.

STUDENTS DISC AFTERMATH OF GIRLS PROMPT REFUSES TO RESIGN FROM VET.HOSPITAL W. L. Jones, chief engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., has refused to comply with the demand of the Veterans Bureau that he tender his resignation effective as of October 12, 1925, the date of his suspension from duty on charges filed by Melvin J. Chism, of Chicago, Ill. He has advised General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veteran's Bureau, that he would not comply with the request that he submit his resignation. The first is that any settlement of the controversy with regard to the conduct of this hospital upon any condition other than his full restoration to duty would be an unwarranted punishment for his faithfulness to duty. His second reason is that should he submit his resignation as requested it would preclude him from pay, which he claims is due him up to the final settlement of his case. Mr. Jones was suspended from duty as chief engineer at the Tuskegee Hospital on October 8, 1925, on charges preferred by Mr. Chisum. The charges were that he was disloyal to the hospital administration; that he conspired to bring about the removal of Major J. H. Ward, the medical officer in charge of the hospital, and other hospital flicers; that he planned to secure damaging evidence against officers by misrepresentation. These charges were denied by Mr. Jones. An investigation and hearing into these charges were had, but the Veteran's Bureau took no action until Mr. Jones inquired as to the status of his case. He was then informed that on account of his official conduct and other activities at the Tuskegee hospital, he had brought about a condition which made it inadvisable for him to be continued in the service of the Veterans Bureau. Persecution Under date of February 26 last he appealed to General Hines "to prevent what I cannot restrain myself from believing," he declared, "to be an outrageous persecution, a gross miscarriage of justice, and a penalization (Continued, on page 4) COBBAPPOINTMENT AWAITS ACTION OF COMMITTEE The nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia will be considered by the subcommittee, to which it was referred, immediately after his return from Chicago on Thursday, Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, stated Monday shortly before he left for the West. He also declared that no protests against the confirmation of the nomination of Mr. Cobb had been received by him. Senator Deneen is the chairman of the subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee to which the Cobb nomination was referred. The other members of this committee are Senator Rice W. Means, Republican, of Colorado, and Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. The Senate Judiciary Committee was in session Monday morning, but neither the Cobb nomination nor the McKinley anti-lynching bill was brought up for discussion. The entire meeting was given to consideration of pleas by Senator Walter E. Edge, Republican, and Senator Edward I. Edwards, Democrat, of New Jersey, and Senator William Cabell Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, for a public investigation of the prohibition question. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS IOUSE DISCIPLINED AS OF WILD PARTY: PTLY SUSPENDED A double standard of discipline as applied in the case of three girls and two boy students, who were suspended and two boy students in the Professional departments who were not suspended for remaining out all night, has Howard University—both faculty and students—divided into two camps. One camp takes the view that the rules of the university regarding moral conduct should be applied alike to all students whether they live in the dormitories or in the city and whether they are students in the college of liberal arts and sciences or students in the professional schools. The other camp takes the view that the application of the university rules to students living in the city extends only to the copines of the campus and that the school authorities have nothing to do with their conduct off the campus after school hours. This entire controversy revolves around the suspension of five college students and the non-suspension of two professional school students, who were involved in the same affair. The students of the college department who were indefinitely suspended are Miss Thelma Louise Dean, of Baltimore, Maryland; Miss Ruth Victoria Royster, of Brockton, Mass.; Miss Edna Dorothy Harper, of Manassas, Va.; Theodore Mark White, of Bay City, Mich., and Gilbert Lloyd Edwards, of New Haven, Conn. The students of the Professional schools who were not suspended are Walter Harmon, a medical senior, and Frederick Lyons French, a law student. The girls were peremptorily dismissed on February 23 by Dean Lacy D. Slowe when they were reported by Miss Marie I. Hardwick, the preceptress, as having remained out of Miner Hall all night. The suspension of the college boys followed. Although the discipline committee, it is reported, recommended the suspension of the professional school students, who were in the party, the deans of the medical and law school it is stated, did not follow this recommendation. So far as can be ascertained, no action has been taken against Walter Harmon, of the Medical School, Freddie French was not suspended from the law school, but James C. Waters, Jr., secretary of the Howard University law school stated that "disciplinary action" had been taken against him. According to current reports, the three suspended girls, another girl visitor in Miner Hall and the boys attended a "Backbiters" party on George Washington's birthday evening. They obtained permission to go to a dance on the campus. The campus dance was a costume affair and the girls could not attend it, and it is said that they decided to go to the "Backbiters" dance in the city. Failed to Return Instead of returning to the dormitory after the "Backbiters" dance had let out, the girls are reported to have visited a house party or cabaret. The report is that they did not show up on the campus until class time the next morning. Miss Hardwick learned that the girls were not to be found on the campus, and it is said that during the night, she slept in one of the girls' rooms. She reported them to Dean Slowe and they were suspended. The claimed, it is stated, that they spent the night with the grandmother of one of them. Wild Party It is said that most of the "Backbiters'' are members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. "Backbiters'" dances are notorious it is said by those who have attended them. They were first given upstairs at the Oriental Gardens, a cabaret at Ninth and R Streets, Northwest. It is said that these affairs are generally "wild parties." Howard University officials would make no statement regarding the suspension of the persons who were involved in this affair. President J. Stanley Durkee, declined to comment, saying that the whole matter was in the hands of the committee on discipline. Dean Lucy D. Slowe said that she could not be expected to make any statement regarding a university matter. The medical school would give out no information regarding its positoin in not suspending Walter Harmon. Cabell for a prohibi- T. E. Percival, president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity denied that the "Backbiters" is composed of Alpha .men exclusively.

DUDLEY Washington, D.C. Mme. Dudley will be pleased to answer inquiries concerning the subjects treated in this department to any reader who will address her in care of THE TRIBUNE. If individual reply is desired, enclose self-addressed stamped envelope. Question—My skin is very oily and face powder does not seem to stay on my face, I suppose I am not using the right kind. Will you kindly recommend a pure face powder that will cling to my face?—Edith. Question—Do hair? Mrs. Wy. Answer—Yes Answer—The clearness of your complexion depends upon a properly selected face powder. Mme. Dudley's superfine face powder has an exquisite softness and spreads smoothly on the skin. If applied after you have smoothed a small amount of Mme. Dudley's Vanishing Cream into the skin your pores will be invisible and the powder will stay on until you want to take it off. Its velvet-like appearance furnishes a fascinating glow to the complexion. Mme. Dudley's powder is absolutely pure and suits any complexion. Question—My skin is dry and scaling. What shall I do? Mrs. J. N. ng. Wing. Smith. P. O'D. MRS. J. N. Answer—You are evidently using too much soap and not getting it all off. Always make sure that all of the soap is rinsed off. Use Peroxide Cold Cream for cleansing the skin and smooth a small amount on before applying face powder and you will find that your skin will be greatly improved. Question—Why does dandruff seem to be so persistent in some cases, defying treatment over long periods, and when at length it does disappear crops out again after treatment has lapsed for a short time? Emma. Answer. Dandruff requires a certain extent of treatment which patrons should keep up lug after the trouble seems to have disappeared, otherwise their general condition may bring a return. A continued preventive treatment can certainly do no harm, will keep the scalp in a healthy condition, and will be generally beneficial to the patron. The patron should be instructed to take plenty of exercise, nourishing food and live as much as possible in the open air. Dandruff From the Melting Pot He is wise who can assist us in the business of daily virtuous living. —Carlyle He who obeys with modesty, appears worthy of some day or other being allowed to command:—Cicero. A man's observation on what he finds good of, and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health—Bacon. Business dispatch is business well done but business hurried is business ill done—Bulver Lyton. Necessity is stronger farther than art—Aeschylus. 'This calm vivification of motive and deed, And placing souls under a glass To magnify all of their faults, we coneede Is an action most shameful, alas! 'Tis wrongful a tale told in secret to spread And to bandy an evil report— This we know and we'd, maybe, in shame bow our head, If it wasn't considered mere sport! PAGE TEN For burns and scalds nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. Being usually at hand, it can be quickly applied. It is more cooling than sweet oil and cotton, which were formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay smarting pains. It is the contact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort experienced from the ordinary accident of this kind, and anything that excludes the air and prevents inflammation is the thing to be at once applied. Give Gas Store New Finish The old reliable gas stove needed a new finish and aluminum paint did all one could wish. With the stove a silver gray, a linoleum rug in delft blue and gray, the walls gray and a touch of blue in the curtains the whole interior is much improved. When Ironing When it is necessary to iron a rough-dry garment at once, try this method: Dampen it, roll tight, rap it in a cloth and then in paper, and put into the oven while the irons are heating. Evaporation will cause it to be thoroughly dampened in a very few minutes. But care must be taken that the oven is not hot enough to scorch the garments. UTIFUL is of a parasitic nature and may be transmitted by combs, brushes, direct contact, etc. Great sanitary precaution should be taken, being sure that combs and brushes are properly washed and sterilized after being used. Persistent treatment with Dandruff and Tetter Ointment will surely eradicate the most severe cases of dandruff. Question—Do you approve of bobbed hair? Mrs. Wylie. Answer—Yes, I highly approve of bobbed hair. It is sanitary, comfortable and attractive. It gives any woman a more youthful appearance, and like short skirts is sensible in every way. I find short hair much too comfortable to go back to long; and I believe this is the opinion of most women who have bobbed their hair. Hair is an outgrowth of the skin derived for the same cells that constitute the structure of the skin. It forms below the surface of the skin starting with a bulb-like thickening somewhat resembling the bulb of a tulip in shape. This bulb contains the papilla which supplies nourishment for the hair and is responsible for its growth. It is the papilla from which every new hair starts to grow. Therefore, each hair has its own Papilla and if the papilla is destroyed because of lack of nourishment the old hair will fall out and no new hair will grow from it. As long as it remains healthy even a bald spot may grow hair by increased stimulation and nourishment. In many cases of falling hair great improvement has been noticed after a course of scalp treatment and the regular application of Vegetable Hair Grower. Just as skin differs in various parts of the body, so also does hair. The whole surface of the body (except the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet) is covered with soft down hairs, technically known as lanugo, while on the scalp it is stronger and more papillar. The construction of the hair, no matter whether it be on the body or scalp, is the same. It consists of the hair shaft which is the part most perceptible to the eye and partly beneath the skin, the hair follicle and papilla. FROM THE MELTING POT OUR JOYS Better a smile than a tear or a sigh, Better a laugh than a frown Better an upward look to the sky Than always a sad look down. The joys we find in each little day Perhaps may seem few and small, But better these little joys, I say, Than to have no joys at all. Keep faith in the love that blesses men As the sunshine does the sod, Let us do our best and trust the rest To the after-heart of God. Smoth the road before the feet, Safe shelter from the night, A cup of water when athirst, A rest when noons are bright— All these, life seems to bring oft times, And we give thanks to fate And speak of fortune's kindly smile, Of life so fortunate; But well for us if we can know, Ere evenings on the hill, To what our happiness is due— A loved one's service still! —Selected When Ironing SERVICE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1926 Edited by VIVIAN T.

A young man studying for the ministry is very much in love with me and has asked me to marry him. I am wondering what I should do, since I seem to be of a different type from my ideal of what a minister's wife should be. Please advise me—Mary. My dear Mary: I hardly known how to advise you, because sometimes a girl of your type is able to adjust herself to her new life, when marrying a minister and really makes a wonderful wife. She has just enough pep to assist in making her husband's work a success and just enough of will power to restrain herself when it is necessary. Yet on the other hand I have seen the opposite condition. A girl, who has accustomed herself to having a round of pleasure is surely handicapped when she is restricted to the limited number of pleasures within church circles in keeping with her position as the wife of a minister. Soon she will no doubt become very much dissatisfied causing many misunderstandings and disagreements. A life of this sort could not last very long with a minister, for it would surely take away from the effectiveness of his work. So my only advice to you is, take an inventory of your own feelings, and see into which class you fall, and act accordingly.—Vee Tee Tee. My husband is a very conscientious hard-working man, but even so, he does not make enough money to take care of his family as he should. He does not want me to work and becomes very disagreeable if I mention it. Don't you think I should help? — Loyal. Yes, Loyal, I do think you should help. When a man is doing all in his power to make a suitable living for his family and falls short, I think his wife is justified in helping him. It is true a man's duty is to take care of the woman he asks to become his wife. Some men feel this responsibility and some do not. Evidently your husband falls under the former class and feels he will not be shouldering his responsibility if he allows you to work. However, Loyal, a woman feels more inclined to help a man who does not say she. MUST work, but who takes her help with the thought that it is merely done because circumstance has been such that it could not be helped. I would say help your husband if you can and together get a start, then perhaps some day not far distant the two of you may look back over these days, and he will feel that his wife was the force which tided him over and made it possible to reach the desired point in life.—Vee Tee Tee.

THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Trilune Feature As the season advances, one becomes more and more impressed with the wide variety of dress types shown, presenting as they do, both the practical and the picturesque in dress modes, with the ultra-feminine note outstanding and insistent at all times. In frocks of tailored gored, pronounced use is made of black crepe satin, with both sides of the fabric emphasized, and with soft feminine touches reflected in collars, cuffs, jabots, and vestees in delicate spring-like shades. Lace, chiffon and hand and eyelet embroidered batist and linen are the mediums accented, with ecru shell pink and rose introduced. Some houses have chosen to experiment with the hand work which originally earned renown for the French lingeries and the experiment is worth watching, for hand-made garniture is an excellent way to distinguish excessively simple frocks which are exclusive from equally simple frocks which are turned out by the hundreds. The influence of these hand-done embroideries and finishes is seen in the sudden vogue of the scalloped edge. The tailored suit comes in for its share of recognition but it seems to retain an eminently youthful aspect in its always accented short jacket and skirt while the tendency is to resume belted effects is another detail which gives a suggestion of youth. Some of the suits are developed along soft lines while others are strictly tailored, but of course the capetel, which is sometimes posed on a trig hip-length jacket gives it an informal appearance. ```markdown ``` E Attractive Frocks Formal and Informal Styles $15.00 up STUNNING frocks that typify the very smartest of the new Spring modes for discriminating women, and offer pleasing variety at a price that they will be pleased to pay. In all the favored shades—blue lavender, wild honey, dawn grey, bois de rose, beige, sandalwood, sauterne, navy, brown, black and pastel shades. IMPORTANT! OPPORTUNITY FOR HAIRDRESSERS!

Mme. W. R. Dudley Manufacturing Co. Washington, D.C. 465 Florida Avenue 201 Most designers do not seem to think that the two-piece idea has been overdone; on the contrary they declare it a virgin field for any number of variations. Jenny is an especially strong advocate of the theme for evening as well as day, and makes her jumpers very long. Lanvin endorses it most notably for evening, and this house, too, likes the jacket-like treatment which opens down the front. The youthful sports house of Jone Regny, experiments with a jumper that flares and the potential modifications are endless. Just as women who discovered the comfort of the slip-on chemise dress were loath to part with it, the skirt and separate "joampaire" are too practical and becoming to be readily abandoned. Silhouette was not the only thing I learned from my fashion pilgrimage. These are some of the interesting points: the cape which one knows, now has boomeranged into vogue again; the increasing use of fine woolens for daytime and the most diaphanous silks for evening and afternoon; the introduction of all the delicate pastel tints in these woolens and the renewed favor to be shown prints in silks; the inability to get away from sequin trimming for evening. Summed up in tabloid, the writer was told: short skirts and full, but fulness as often in plaits or gathers as in circular cut; bodices that are straight but from which every centimeter of unnecessary fulness has been eliminated at shoulders, arm holes and hips; waistlines posed around the top of the hips.

Peter was supposed to be the toughest rabbit in Rabbit Town. Peter was his mother's only child and was spoiled. One day he went to visit another rabbit he had not met, "Hello there," said Peter to the rabbit, but the other rabbit said nothing. Peter got angry so he gave the other rabbit a hard bump. When Peter got home his mother did not know him. Poor Peter began to cry. His mother asked him what was the matter, and he told her what had happened. He told her that he would not fight again. His mother said, "that was a good lesson for you. Peter." From that day to this Peter has remembered not to fight with strange rabbits whether they are big or small. DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW?

I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. A person indifferent to the suffering of an animal is a "pitilacker." The Pennsylvania Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on the night of March 6, announced that "pitilacker" was the prize-winning name chosen for persons cruel to ani- ditions called for a word easily understood, forceful and short, to fit the case of the average unfearing person rather than extreme instances of brutality. "Be kind to animals" cannot be too strongly stressed. Your editor is hoping that all of the Tribunites are kind to animals. Be kind to animals. Have pity for them. If you lack pity for animals you are a "pitillacker." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR YOU ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN Dear Editor: I know you have forgotten me but I haven't had time to write as I am going to high school now and you know it is very hard to get use to the new ways.

I hope that I will be as successful as my sister who won two tickets to the Dunbar Theatre.

I can not tell you how happy you made me, when I found that you picked me as a prize winner. Three cheers for the Children's Page of the Washington Tribune. LORAINE BRIGGS INTERESTED IN NEW PLANS Dear Editor: I am thanking you for the ticket that you sent me. I appreciate the kindness that is bestowed upon me. I am trying every week to think of some good plans for our page so that the Tribunites will write and be more loyal to their page. There is only one of our Tribunites that I think is loyal and that person is Miss Thelma Lane. EVELYN ROBINS SAW A WESTERN Dear Editor: I received the ticket to the theatre.

COMES INTO HIS OWN By Claudine R. Carter (15) Last week I told of an article of Langston Hughes which appeared recently in a local white daily. This week I am sending in three poems that were quoted in the same article. "I've been a worker; Under my hand the pyramids arose. I made mortar for the Woolworth building. "I've been a singer: All the way from Africa to Georgia I carried my sorrow songs. I made ragtime. "I've been a victim: The Belgians cut off my hands in the Congo. They lynch me now in Texas. "I am a Negro: Black as the night is black. Black like the depths of my Africa." "There is thought in this little fragment: "'Cabaret "Does a jazz band ever sob? They say a jazz band's gay. Yet as the vulgar dancers whirled And the wan light wore away. One said she heard the jazz band When the little dawn was grey." "That Hughes has an abiding faith in his own people is told in the simple beauty of these few lines. "'The night is beautiful So the faces of my people. "'The stars are beautiful So the eyes of my people. "'Beautiful also is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.'" "Any poet would be proud of this poem: "Yesterday A night—gone thing. A sun—down name. "And dawn—today Broad arch above the road we came." The article also stated: "That the Negro race in America, which has given such undoubted poets to the world as Paul Lawrence Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay and Countee Cullen, as produced another poet in Lang- son Hughes, of Washington, former us boy at the Wardman Park hotel, s the contention of critics who have viewed his new volume 'Weary Blues.'" --- BOOKSIFOR REALTBOYS "Heave Short!"

A PACE TWO DINING CAR BOYS AND FRIENDS TO DANCE TUESDAY Local No. 6 of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, composer of the many dining car waiters and cooks assigned to "runs" in and out of Washington, will entertain friends of the organization with a dance at the Murray Palace Casino next Tuesday night, March 16. Economically, the travelling dispensers of food are perhaps among the best situated race group in the country. Due to the well co-ordinated organization that has been effected among these employees of all of the railway systems from Boston to Atlanta and as far west as the Mississippi River, the boys command excellent salaries and are provided with adequate rest periods during which they may enjoy recreation and cultural advantages. Many among them are educating Families, and yet others are themselves taking special courses in Washington educational institutions. However all of this goes by the board for one day of pleasure. A. L. Queenan, president of Local No. 6, has invited many of the national officers including national president, Reinzi Lemus, president Burris of New York Local No. 1, President Armes of Boston Local No. 2. President Bitting of Local No. 3 also of New York and Scott of Local No. 8, of Cincinnati, and has their promise of being in attendance. The gathering will be a cosmopolitan one for they have opened the doors to the public, and this together with the wide range of acquaintanceships of the boys, who are, as a rule actively interested in almost every phase of community and group interests, promises a fine outpouring of interested friends. Men who are employed on such famous trains as "The Broadway Limited," "The Orange Blossom Special," "The Capitol," "The National Limited," "The Congressional Limited," "The Florida Special," and other exclusive transportation mediums where they by contact with the first folks of the land keep fully posted on the social graces will perhaps convey some novelties to their guests. Pleasure Hour Whist Club The Pleasure Hour Whist Club was entertained by Mrs. V. C. Roye at her residence Monday cycening. The evening was very pleasantly spent. First prizes were awarded Mr. J. C. Manning and Mrs. V. C. Roye; second, Mr. Charles Hemphill, and Mr. S. Julius Bennett. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Horace Gaskins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hemphill, Mr. J. C. Manning, Mr. P. Simms and Mr. S. Julius Bennette. A Surprise Birthday Party At the residence of Mrs. Alice Hundley, 1705 13th Street, Northwest, on Thursday, February 25, a surprise birthday party was given for Mrs. Belle Hundley by her daughters, Mrs. Emola Hundley Lee, and Mrs. Alice Hundley.

The guests in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. James Branch, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bryant, Mrs. Mary Moore, Mrs. Nannie German, Mrs. Mae Dixon, Mr. Irvin Thomas, Mrs. Susie Washington, Mrs. Emma Snyder. The College Alumnae Club "Lady Windemere's Fan" by Oscar Wilde which the drama committee is presenting on the 22th of this month is attracting much attention.

Miss Muriel Milton Entertains at Bridge Miss Muriel Milton entertained the Thursday Evening Bridge Club last week at her home 1607 S Street, Northwest.

HOWARD MEDICAL ENDOWMENT FUND IN FINAL DRIVE PLEDGES UNPAID; CAMPAIGN TO COLLECT FUND By Walter A. Singleton Dr. E. A. Bulloch, dean of the Medical School and chairman of the National Committee in charge of the Howard University Medical Endowment Campaign, says he is "most hopeful of successful results" in view of the members of the Medical and related professions to aid in their respective localities throughout the country. It seems extraordinary that it should be necessary to launch a nation-wide campaign to collect pledges, yet this is the case. To make this melancholy story brief, a great number of people who pledged themselves to contribute a certain amount of money for the purpose of keeping Howard University Medical Department in Class A have failed to keep their pledges. The keeping of the Medical Department in Class A means that the graduates can pass the State Boards and practice throughout the country. To lose the Class A standing would mean that the medical graduates would not be accepted by the State Boards, by which it would follow that the University would cease to produce medical professionals and the race would no longer have them from this school. It may be, indeed, that the seriousness of the consequences is not recognized by those who have neglected to pay up their pledges, but the time has arrived when they must awaken to their responsibilities. Can our pride permit us to look with complacency on the lowering of our University's standing, much less share in the responsibility therefor? Would they see the race eliminated from the medical profession in the Nation's Capital, much less share cause for such a degradation? And finally, is our integrity so modernized or our indifference brazen as to wear a dignified front, and at the same time calmly forget an obligation—a pledge voluntarily made—and one even more binding on a man of honor than a note or a contract? Yet this is the very situation threatened by those who make pledges and fail to pay them. Let all who hold their personal honor or sacred and the welfare of humanity dear, pay up before it is too late. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY SEEKING ALUMNI DONATIONS The Washington Branch of the General Alumni Association of Lincoln University is sponsoring a movement to secure substantial contributions for the school. The plan is to get the graduates to open both their hearts and their purse strings in behalf of their Alma Mater as they have never done before. They will advocate the adoption of their plans by the general association at the coming June commencement. The first consideration will be the creation of an annex to the present dining hall to accommodate two hundred and fifty students, as the McCauley refactory is inadequate for the present student body of two hundred and eighty five. This is known to be an urgent need and many loyal Lincoln men are ready and willing to help relieve this condition. Another prominent issue in the minds of the Lincoln men is the electing of an honored graduate to the Trustee Board. The men feel that the trustees should show the same spirit along this line as other institutions have shown their graduates. The local alumni feel that the graduates should be called upon for a larger share in the support of the school's athletic sports. For the past forty years Philadelphia has been considered a "home-town" for Lincoln, and efforts should be made to buy or control a park there for football games, etc., and play the homes games in that city. Loyal men all over the country have agreed to support such plans when they are convinced that the leaders really mean business. In order that such an advanced step may be carried out successfully, the Washington branch is advocating the appointment of a National Organizer whose duty will be to visit the men and associations throughout the country. four gospels as they embody the teachings of our Saviour; comparison being made between these and the Y. W. C. A. workers of today, the service they are rendering and the sacrifice they are making.

The main provisions of the bill are. set “RACE INTEGRITY” IN VIRGINIA The so-called “race integrity” bill in Virginia essed the House of Delegates.an Saturday of last, week. The main provisions of the bill are. set erth: in sour news columns in an article copied from thé’ Richmond News Leader, one of the two allies of that city. ‘The legislation embodied in this bill seems to’ have grown out of the restits-which have followed an agitation which has-been going on for years im the state and in other Southern states. The agitation resulted in the passage by the Virginia aegistature; in March, 1924, of a so-called rexis- ‘ation Taw.” ‘This act provided for setting. up amachinery under control of the bureau of vital Statistics which would permit (but not compel) sgny person or any head of family to “register” his or their Facial status. This, it-was hoped, would result in getting a sort of modern Dooms- day Book in which would be recorded a list of all the pure (white) blooded people of the state—ac- cording to their own say-so, or belief, or wish. ‘Only a few people sent in any. such certificates, sand curiously enough, the most of those who did, were people already “‘suspected” or who had been cepenly “accused” of being “mix breeds.” ‘The same law made more-explicit the require- ‘ments for registering the racial maternity and Paternity of new-born-babies.. The provisions. and qpenalties were. pretty dractic. The-nesults were, that, while many certificates came fronvattending whysicians and officials: showing the parents ‘to be “white,” there was often an accompanying “er covering note saying something else. Investigation of the files of:the burexu and cor- wespondence with doctors, registrars, county clerks, ctc., set the race-purity guardians on their wars. Hence the new race-putity bill. This bill sxepeals all of the registration business, and at- stempts to guard or secure the “purity” of the wwthite zuce—as the proponents say—by preventing ‘the admixture in it.of any’ mere Negro: blood. his is attempted by re-enacting and supposedly strengthening the racial inter-marriage ban of previous legislation. OF course Virgivia-has had laws. forbidding the inter-marriage of whites.and.others for many years. However, just what constituted a white person was not well defined. Early Virginia laws and decisions regarded a person who had less than sone-sixteenth non-white blood as “white.” The Aww of 1924 defined a white person as one “who has no trace-whatsoever of any blood other than Gaucasian, but «persons who have one-sixteenth er less. of the blood of the American Indian and Ammve no other non-Caucasic blood shall be deemed white persons.” TN ‘The new race-purity law, as originally intro- ced, made no exception in favor in Indian blood, wand put outside the pale allthose who had any “known, demonstrable or ascertainable admix- ture,” etc. This bill-raised a.furor, chiefly on smocount of the Indian features. These have been changed to-permit persons of one-eighth or less of Gadian blood to call themselves “white,” ‘ptherwise there has been no-material change in the bill as introduced. ‘One new and curious featpre of “the pending bil is the provision that seems to attempt to make a so-called'mixed marriage void ab initio rom the very beginning), yet-makes children bern of such unions “legitimate.” Another new @eature is the making it a crime to “attempt” @e marry across-the-race tine-as"set out in the aall.- ‘The proposed law has yet.tovpass the senate “and be signed by the gayernor; and despite the sapparently:large: majority it received in,the house MB2 to 18),;-it has strong opposition.

Despite the statement in the news it highly improbable that any such Bill for obvivus reasons. ae ‘One intresting feature of the matter disclosed in a series of. February 19) in the Richmond isp under the heading “The Last Stand.” This series enumerated and discussed the results of inves- tigations made by one John Powell and others, covering the state by Congressional districts. In the: issue of February 23, he discusses the Fifth Congressional District, which includes Danville and. eight ‘counties, one: of which is’ Charlotte; the home of Patrick Henry, John Randolph and other famous Virginians. A part of the article is as follows: An Appalling Situation - Case No. IX. X.County.(reported to the Vital | Statictics Bureau). The facts now to be presented set forth the most ghastly and_ appalling conditions existent within the State. To spare the sensibilities of the white inhabitants, it is deemed best not to dis- close..the name: ofthe county. A. judge from another. district was-recently holding court in X County. The> wife of a white man who was a party imone of the-casesswas pointed out to the Judge. She was obviously negroid. When. the court adjourned the judge asked. the clerk of the comet foc-an explanstion of this: situation, |The clerk replied that the man was white and ‘the.-wife was negroid. ‘The judge-asked if the clerk had issued the license for the marriage. The clerk replied in irmative, explaining that the family of the wife, although undoubtedly ne- groid, had-been passing for white for several gen- erations, and was: of sufficient influence to make refusal. to grant the license out of the question, He added that this case was not unique in X County, but was typical of a widespread condition, The judge took the first opportunity to visit: the Bureau of Vital Statistics, and report the matter. On arriving at the office he found, by a strange coincidence, a minister of the Gospel from X Coun- ty, who had come to report what he knew of con- ditions there. At first. he had been reticent as to names and places; but encouraged by the judge, he finally became ‘more communicative, and: gave the names of several men whom he thought would be frank and courageous enough to give definite and. specific information. The State registrar wrote to these men; only one dared reply. He ‘sent, in several pages filled with such:information vas. the following: Richard Doe, mixed; wife, white, The Z family, mixed, pass for white and have intermarried with whites. Etc., ete. The pure-whites of this county are afraid open- ly to expose the situation or to take.any steps to control sit, so numerous and influential are the tix-brepds, and so. widely connected by marriage. A member of the House Of Delagatee and. State Senator were recently diseussing the situation in this county. “I estimate that at least one-third of the white population of X County-are more or less negroid.” The Senator replied:. “You put it too low. I should say at least one-half.” “Ghastly and appalling conditions,” similar to those set forth in the quotation, are disclosed all over the state, especially inthe southern tier of gounties, though in on other county as a whole does the proportion: of “white” mixed-bloods seem to rise so high. -However, the question as to-who is and who is not regarded as white or colored seems to depend more-on <influencethan on “known, demonstrable or ascertainable admixtyre.” Wheth- er the new law ifypassed:will'do any more toward changing this situation than previous laws have | done; remains- to be seen. tho WHAT HAVE WE HERE? In. the Crisis for February. there is an. article announcing the William E. Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement. “There are to'be'eight awards for achievements in. the following: matters: literature, music; fine ‘arts, industry inclading business, science includ- ing invention, education, religion, and race rela- tions. The first seven are open to American Ne- -gtoes only; the last named is open to any person of American residence, The conditions and provisions surrounding the awands, as set forth in the Crisis, are ambiguous and xague,.especially the provision that, “prefer- ence-will be given naturally to persons who have “not heretofore: received: marked recognition.” ‘Another extremely. vague condition is this: “Awards will be limited to work completed dur- ing the twelve months ending June 1, 1926, but the achievement may include also work of a can- didate dor years preceding, provided that the completion of the achievement falls within. the twelve. months covered by the award.” ‘There are other vague or puzzling provisions, for example, “American residence”; and, “all literature: submitted as. evidence of achievement in. that. field’ must have been previously. printed and published except manuscripts of books,” ete. Whether or not the printing must. have occurred within the year, and what 4smeant-by a book, is nob made clear; nor do we know what is meant by “American,” as the word is used in the conditions. Perhaps all these and other obscure features may be made plain on, or in connection with, the application blanks, which may be ‘obtained by writing to George E. Haynes, Secretary of the ‘Commission on Church-and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East 22nd Street, New Yark City. ‘ ‘The awards themselves are of quite’ generous propartions—five hundred dollars in each of the eight fields—if (take notice) anything suffieient- ly “outstanding,” in the judgment of the three judges (two presumably white) is found to be }worthy of reward. ‘Moreover, ‘the:organization which Mr. Harmon has chosen. to. administer his philanthropy is a rather unfortunate selection, for it will not com- mand our full respeet and confidence. ‘Yes, it IS proper, sometimes, to “look a gift horse inthe mouth”—~and in the “innards” also, as the Trojans learned to their loss during the seige. of their city. by thé Greeks. It may be worth noting that among the multi- plicity of maiters to be rewarded there is no men- tion of race militancy; but then perhaps that qual- ity is regarded, like virtue, as its own reward. It is a little early to. predict,:henee: we. advise a suspension af judgement until we shall see ‘Whether the colored contingent of the ‘Methodist Episcopal Church will—at the behest of. their white colleagues—suffer themselves to be humili- ated by segregation at the International Sunday ‘Sehoo!

Assured that it could, the person after admitting that she was not « subscriber or regular reader, asked that the copy requested ‘be delivered to her,, preferably by mail; and would be send a-collcetor? However, the paper went forth with the ‘Tribune’s compliments as a tribute to the nerve of asking for so much free service to obtain a paper selling for a nickel, and in this case bought only because of a family mention that would make a souvenir. To mail ‘it cost six cents, since it was not second class mail- ing day, ‘The collector's time to go that dis- tance is worth a half dollar at unskilled wage prices; and of course the paper itself costs us something. Oh; no! She could not come after it. We saw a press release emanating from Howard University in which praise was given to: those who contributed to the appointment of the-muni- cipal judge who has just been named. It was the truth, nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth.

Shelter as understood in early days has grown so as to contemplate all that enters into the making of a home. Changing conditions of a community, or neighborhood, often influences one in the change of a home, and more often provides the opportunity for one to satisfy the ambition to own one's home. Such influences are now effecting Washington and this spring will witness many of our group moving from the tenant class into home ownership. Such as contemplate that move have submitted to them just now a greater variety of home possibilities than has ever before been offered. Almost every taste may be gratified, and, at terms that are not on any reasonable, but alluring, according to realty operators who keep steadily informed on market conditions and the possibilities of financing. If one desires to economize in space, such places as will suit them are advertised. Should more pretentious homes be desired, many of these are being submitted by the dealers for the after-supper discussions that precede the intelligent purchase of a family home. Yet other offerings lend themselves to sources of revenue. Truly there is a strong invitation to one to own his own home in present-day advertising copy. It makes interesting reading, and a perusal of this and similar pages may give rise to thoughts that will intrigue one's mind to advantage. The three-story house is a good investment, even for a small family with limited income. One may, with a reasonable cost, alter the floor plan so as to create apartments that will not only carry the cost of maintenance, but will assure a nice income for one's declining years, for by that time the obligations against the property will have been met and what had been up to that time applied to interest and paying off trusts, may then become a personal income. The complications of modern civilizations have provided for a full occupation of the time of man and wife; the modern labor saving devises in the home together with the many domestic functions that are being cared for outside of the place of one's abode; and the employment of both man and wife, have conspired to make the small apartment very desirable. Compactness, privacy and miniature completeness are the characteristics that mark the new mode of living as superior to being "just a roomer." It is this that is giving value to the property of the owner who alters houses into table-lid apartments. The field is comparatively new with our group in Washington.

LAYS PLANS TO RECOVER SALARY INCREASE The Pullman company has already ut into operation plans to recoup the "millions" it has appropriated to increase the wages of its porters and maids about five dollars each per day. Now that the publicity obtained by the grand gesture has about subsided, the practical side is coming into evidence, and it is not being heralded so enthusiastically by the Pullman Company publicity organs. Heretofore the company has maintained a staff of linen checkers at each of its many district headquarters. These checkers were paid a salary of $125 per month for checking the linen in and out for each porter. This staff has been abolished and each porter is obliged to perform this additional work for himself.

OF J. DISMISSED BY LANKFORD John A. Lankford, an architect, last Wednesday, through Attorneys Houston and Houston, dismissed his suit for damages against the Nimrod Supreme Grand Encampment, Ancient Order of Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem of the World, for malicious prosecution. This damage suit resulted from a suit brought in 1924 by the order against Mr. Lankford, claiming that in 1921 the had contracted to perform architectural services and to procure a construction loan for the remodeling of its headquarters building near Eleventh and Q Streets, Northwest. The order charged breach of contract and sued Mr. Lankford for $1,800. When the case was called for trial, counsel announced in open court that the order had decided to withdraw its suit. Mr. Lankford then filed suit against the order for $60,000 alleging that the order had brought suit against him maliciously for the purpose of coercing him into giving false testimony against certain officers of the order in a factional fight for control of the order. On March 1, last, the order issued a statement completely exonerating Mr. Lankford of any and all blame or default arising out of matters pertaining to his contract with the order made February 25, 1921, for architectural services in connection with the proposed remodeling of its head- For Rent Mortimer M.

MOREHOUSE WINS SOUTHERN TITLE Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 10.—Morehouse College has won the basketball championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association carrying with it the Spalding Championship trophy. Morehouse is credited with 9 victories and no defeats in association games. Clark University won second honors with 10 victories and 2 defeats Morris Brown and Atlanta tied for third place. During the season just closing, Morehouse won 6 out of 7 non-conference games. The Maroon quintet chalked up two victories against Hampton Institute, champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The lone defeat suffered by Morehouse was at the hands of Howard in Washington. This is the tenth consecutive time that Morehouse has won the basketball championship in the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Not since 1915 has the Maroon aggregation lost a conference game. Plans are underway for the building of a gymnasium at Morehouse. Y SPORT NEWS COMMUNITY WINS "Y" LEAGUE SERIES Community defeated Silhoh in one of the most enthusiastic games ever played on the "Y" gymnasium floor. For the second time since the "Y" has attempted a basketball league, Community A. A. has successfully weathered the storm and claimed the League Championship. It can be said without a doubt that the Community A. A. team stands as the foremost basketball team in the city in its class, due to its skillful and artistic playing ability. There will be an inter-city championship series between the League champions of Baltimore, Md., and the League champions of Washington, D.C., between the dates of April 5 and 10.

Battling Siki Murder Believed Solved Battling Siki Murder Believed Solved New York, March 10—Revelations were made today as to the mysterious slaying of Battling Siki in Hell's Kitchen last December. The last few minutes of his life were spent in a saloon brawl with men he had called "white trash." "The story of what happened in the early hours when the Senegalese boxer's body was riddled with bullets was told today by an 18-year-old youth Martin Meroney, who was arrested on a charge of homicide. Police believe, however, that the youth had fled before Siki was killed. Maroney had given the names of several men who were in a Ninth avenue lunchroom where Siki is believed to have been shot. Siki, Maroney said, entered the lunchroom in a drunken rage, called eight men "white trash" and hurled a chair at them. The men leaped at the boxer and during the fight that followed Maroney fled. A few blocks away he heard shots. Two detectives said they first suspected Maroney when they overheard him in a telephone booth discussing plans to make a "get away because the bulls are too close to us." The detectives, disguised as truck drivers, had frequented a Ninth avenue social club for weeks investigating Siki's death.

Shiloh Girls Nose Out National Benefit On "Saturday" March 6, on the Y. W. C. A. court, the Shiloh Baptist Tosers defeated the National Benefit Dribblers in one of the most thrilling and exciting games ever played in this HATS THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1926 THE SPORT REVIEW SPORTS CHATTER Following the proposal made in this column last week for a settlement of differences between Howard University and the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department of physical training in junior and senior high schools in the District of Columbia, has submitted the following frank discussion of the situation. Ed. Henderson, as he is best known, is active in collegiate athletics. From time to time he serves as an official in games. He is president of the Eastern Board of Football Officials. His comprehensive grasp of athletic problems in collegiate circles gives weight to whatever he says. He writes as follows: ATHLETIC RELATIONS SHOULD BE RESUMED "The rift in the ranks of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association set back the cause of scholastic athletics. It takes time to build up athletic traditions. Just when the members of the competing institutions were developing a control over the evil tendencies in athletics, such as professionalism, tramping athletes, and poor sportsmanship on the part of some teams, the split occurred. All over the country the effort is being made to combine competing units within a radius of a few states. The trips for athletic events occasion a minimum loss of time and money and build up a coterie of supporters who will follow a team over short distances. "If educational institutions cannot practice tolerance in athletic relationships, how can educators claim that mind training in college makes for broader views and liberal attitudes. Howard, Lincoln and other members should be able to arrange some way to resume athletic contacts. Only filmsy technicalities need to be cleared up to bring about understanding and a basis upon which games in basketball, track, baseball and football can be revived. "With Hampton and Howard fostering track games, much of the finest talent in the country would find itself. One or two indoor meets fostered by Lincoln, Morgan, or Howard would reach our athletes as nothing in this line has been done since 1912 in the old I. S. A. A. indoor games at Conviction Hall in Washington. Binga Desmond, world champion 440-yard runner, started at these games. In the old days, sprint champion Howard Drew performed indoors in this section. DeHart Hubbard could be attracted here now. New gymnasiums and athletic fields are making way for newer types of competition as soccer, boxing, gymnastic teams, and golf." "It is to be hoped that the press can lead to a conciliation of differences and cause opposing parties to submerge the non-essential element of winning or losing this fight in the interest of a resumption of athletic relations to the end that the youth of the Race gain in the important elements of character and rigor by competition in favorable environment on athletic fields." This column proposed the submission of all questions of differences among Howard, Lincoln and members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association to an impartial arbitration board composed of nine members, three to be selected by Howard, three by the C. I. A. A., and the remaining three by the six members so chosen. An expression of views regarding this proposal has been asked of T. L. Puryear, president of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association; Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the board of Athletic Control of Howard University; Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager of Lincoln University, and others. The statement from Ed. Henderson is the first to be published. It is hoped that others will follow with a frank discussion of the situation, which will lead to a resumption of athletic relations between Howard and Lincoln with the member schools of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. ED. HENDERSON DEPLORES C. I. A. A. Following the proposal made in this column of differences between Howard University and Athletic Association, Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, physical training in junior and senior high lumbia, has submitted the following frank di Henderson, as he is best known, is active in time he serves as an official in games.

The game was one of the hardest staged on a local court this season. Day of Dunbar was the feature player caging 6 baskets from the floor. Dunbar started the attack, put the first half in a deadlock 4-4. In the second quarter, Douglass sent in a whole new team in a vain effort to defeat the District lads but they proved no better than the first, although they were able to add four points to the official score. Dunbar also added four more points and the half ended in another deadlock. 8-8. The third quarter found Douglass with her first team back in another effort to forge ahead. Dunbar held her ground. When the final period came Dunbar was leading and Douglass again changed teams, but as before, it proved worthless. Among the high scorers were Day, Dunbar, 12 points; Wyatt, Douglass, 4 points.

That is the Boxing Commission's solution of the present heavyweight tangle. According to Chairman Farley, the board has talked the thing over from all angles, and that is the best way out that it can discover. He said official announcement to that effect probably would be made within a few days. This is in line with the campaign conducted for justice to Wills and is the first sign of interest in the Dempsey-Wills-Tunney triangle shown by the Commission in some time. Since Tunney entered into the squabble, the only thing the, boxing fathers have done was to ask Tex Rickard whether it was true that he was negotiating with the champ. No Answer Texas refused to answer the question and nothing further was done about it. Yesterday Chairman Farley had something more to say than the stereotyped reply. He admitted to a reporter that the time had come for the Commission to take an active hand in the matter and that the outcome probably would be a ruling such as that outlined above. Farley said that the commission had long since reached the conclusion that Dempsey does not intend to fight Wills at any time. The members of the board have talked the thing over from every possible angle and the plan that met with most favor was to order Tunney to box Wills, with the assurance that the winner would be recognized as world champion by the commission and accorded all the privileges that go with the title. Dempsey is at present talking of fighting Wills in Chicago, where a boxing law has yet to be enacted. It was a mixed match that killed boxing in Chicago years ago, and the authorities probably would not want another one before the proposed new law is in operation for some time. Signing to fight Wills in Chicago looks like a good out for Jack. It is said that he means to apply to the local board next month for permission to box Tunney on the strength of the fact that he has signed to fight Wills in Chicago. Farley said that he was not able to say at this time what attitude the board would take to Dempsey's request. He seems to think that there was a chance the board would look with favor on the champion's request, but declared that the question would have to be well considered before action could be taken.

THE WANDERER THEATERS SEGREGATION UNCHANGED AT BIRMINGHAM CONVENTION Segregation will obtain in the International Sunday School Convention at Birmingham, Ala., April 12-18. The Birmingham Convention Committee has not receded one iota from its plan to segregate all Negro delegates. It is reported that the chairman of the committee induced the "Committee of one hundred" in Birmingham to segregate Negroes on the main floor instead of the gallery. The A. M. E. Zion, A. M. E., and C. M. E. denominations have issued official statements of withdrawal from the Birmingham Convention and advised their constituents to stay away. In addition to this, formal protest is being made to eight of the twelve state organizations in which Negroes are members and in some of which already have credentials. The Boston Post has taken editorial cognizance of the protest of Drs. B. W. Swain and Jacob W. Powell, for years honored members of the Massachusetts Council of Religious Education (formerly State Sunday School Association). The Chicago Daily News carried the story with a reply by Dr. Hugh B. Magill. The New York World and the daily press of all America, the Associated Negro Press, and the leading Negro papers of the country have given space to this segregation issue. Numerous schools, conventions, ministers' unions have passed resolutions of protest against the unchristian and undemocratic conduct of the American leaders of Protestant religious education. A few white leaders in religious education, north and south, have joined Negro leaders in protest against segregation in Christian assembly. A telegram has been received from Matthew J. Trenary saying that the Church School Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church does not favor segregation but is in harmony with the International Council in segregating Negroes in the Birmingham Convention according to the ordinance of the city. In a release from the Religious Education Department of the A. M. E. Zion Church it is stated that in an interview published by the New York Age on February 27th, Dr. S. N. Vass of that church is credited with including the A. M. E. Zion Church in the group that met Dr. Hopkins at Nashville on February 8th, for the second time and who voted unanimous Miss Nannie H.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1926 LOCAL PRESIDENT TO SPEAK AT CENTRAL SCHOOL There is a bill in both bodies of Congress to regulate the Science of Chiropractic in the District of Columbia.

Dr Land operates a dental clinic daily from 1-3 p.m. Periodic Inspection The physician offers laymen periodic inspection of priceless human bodies, but unlike the boiler inspector, it is not for him either to proffer or impose his advice or his service. He cannot seek, he must be sought. Only intelligent and incessant education continued over a long period of years can instill in the laity an attitude of mind that will assure the future of preventive medicine and the health counsellor his merited place in society. Permaps, therefore, it is fortunate that other ways and means are being evolved for educating the people concerning their need of preventive medicine. To the medical man must, of course, be left the technical care of the public health, but it is not fair that he likewise be burdened with the full brunt of the all essential public education in health matters. That should also be the concern and responsibility of influential and public spirited laymen; this responsibility, fortunately, is gradually being shared by them. WOMEN'S DAY AT MT. ZION M. E.

The world with all of its new discoveries and latent possibilities ought to be the most happy and pleasant place in which to live. There is still much trouble in every phase of life. Why?

They are stated to close the season on April 15. Mr. Thomas will return to Washington for a brief rest pending a summer contract. Archie Armstead has signed with Hildreth's Dixieland Minstrels as stage manager. H. A. Holden is managing the show of twenty people. The opening was at Helena, Ark., last Saturday, March 6. The Seven-Eleven Company is rehearsing a new production, meanwhile, going along with this season's show that is cleaning up on the Columbia circuit. The company is reported to have been sanctioned for the summer run at Waldron's Casino Theatre, Boston, with the probability of getting the last part of the summer run at the Palace, New York, as they made good there for a month last summer. Matt Housley and his "Six Sheiks of Araby" are on the Loews circuit. The act was a hit at the American Theatre, New York; last week. Herman and Eva Mae Brown continue steady T.O.B.A. routing. This week the team is in Louisville after having a hit at the Koppin in Detroit last week. A. B. Williams has just concluded a ten-day spell on the Island, New York's penal institution for the possession of a revolver. The comedian was tipped off to the officers by an anonymous telephone call to the police. Leo, Crutcher, of Crutcher and Evans, was killed by a jealous wife in Paris, France, where the boys, with their singing, dancing and piano act have been favorites for two years. Before leaving New York, the boys were tendered a reception at the Drummers Club. Burial was in France. The Philadelphia Tribune critic, declares Brown and Marguerite to be pace-setters for dancing acts. "A clever act from beginning to end. . . Remarkable Apache number and a wonderful soft-shot single by the man. . ." is part of the description. They headed a bill with Mason and Henderson and Dick and Dick with two other acts at the Standard Theatre. The Educational Film Company, in conjunction with the theatres playing their films, is laying plans for a nation-wide harmonica players contest. Neighborhood contests will be conducted, after which the film concern will stage a championship of the country contest. Clarence Muse opened in Columbus Ohio, at the Dumbar Theatre, doing a group of character presentations. The act is largely a series of the characterizations he did as the "heavy" in the/Lafayette Players' several organizations. The Pythian Theatre, Columbus, Ohio, is nearing completion. The policy of the outlying house has not yet been announced. Due to the continued illness of John Larkins, the opening of the "Oh Mammy" musical comedy sponsored by H. D. Collins has been postponed until August. THE CIRO CLUB SHOW MAKES HIT Latest Broadway Club, LeRoy Smith's hand went into Ciro's downtown club in New York a few weeks ago as the feature of a floor show installed to cater to the Broadway high flyers with large purses. Leonard Harper organized the show that is being presented. Eddie Green, who is doubling at the Apollo with Minsky. Brothers stock Burlesque where he has been second comic for three seasons is the comedian. Dorothy Rhodes, former understudy for Florence Mills, Leenia Williams, Walter Richardson, Blanche Calloway, a Baltimore girl and the Five Cracker-jacks an acrobatic dancing act, are the principals. Laroma Bradley, Bernice, Wilson, Virginia Wheeler, Ethel Shepard, Tillie Meadows, Bernice Aikens, Marva Tyler, Anita Riveria, and Hazel Valentine are in the chorus. Trade Journals report the production to be a normal one of the type, and praises the band highly. HE LIKES THE "KID" Sam Reeven, general manager of the T.O.B.A. Circuit, in a letter to the editor, states in one paragraph: "I had the pleasure of meeting your son while in Birmingham last week, and watching the 'Runin' Wild' company which played the Frolic last week. I was surprised to learn that this is his first season as a comedian. He works like an old-timer." Thanks, Mr. Reevin. Such comment from an authoritative source is pleasing to both father and son. May he continue to merit approval. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE TUSKEGEE SHRINERS HAD FROLIC TUSKEGEE SHRINERS HAD FROLIC Mizrizam Temple of Shriners, many of whom are Deacons, staged a frolic in Huntington Hall of Tuskegee Institute and "Met to play upon the sands" on February 17. The Temple membership is almost exclusively composed of the faculty and staff of the school. Arthur Prescott Mack, instructor in Plumbing is Potentate of this baby Temple of 75 members. Every one of them appreciates the value of Camels milk. Incidentally these fellows are always glad to create opportunity for the Deacons trouping that way to play a date at the school, if the show is such as may be properly presented there. TO BURLESQUE PLAY OF "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" TO BURLESQUE PLAY OF "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" Sim Williams, a franchise holder with a show on the Columbia Circuit, has announced his intention to present Uncle Tom's Cabin as a burlesque show next season. Considerable liberty will be taken with the text of the piece, and the old drama will be musicalized with a twelve piece pick-annymy band as the principal feature. Sim is in the market for the engagement of such a band as Jenkins band now. PAUL ROBESON LAUDED AS MAN AND ARTIST IN "NEW REPUBLIC" Glowing tribute to the actor, singer, athlete and man, Paul Robeson is paid in a lengthy article in the "New Republic" magazine for March 3, written by Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant and entitled: "The Man with His Home in a Rock: Paul Robeson." "Paul Robeson is not merely an actor and a singer of Negro Spirituals, but a symbol," writes Miss Sergeant. "A sort of sublimation of what the Negro may be in the Golden Age hangs about him, and imparts to his appearances an atmosphere of affection and delight that is seldom felt in an American audience. . . . He is one, and clear cut, in the Greek or primitive sense. This sureness of essential being takes him across the concert stage, as it did the football field, with a fine, free movement of his strong athletic body, which is the reflection in action of an inward goal. He has never seen a Georgia road gang but when he sings Water Boy, the very accent and spirit of the Negro laborers enter into him and come out in that poignant vargent song, one of the most beautiful in all folk music. Yet I have never seen on the stage a more civilized, a more finished and accomplished artistic gesture than his nod to his accompanist, the signal to begin the song. The gesture is the final seal of Robeson's personal ease in the world. Even a Southerner would have difficulty in negating its quality and elbowing its creator from the sidewalk." Miss Sergeant tells of Mr. Robeson's fine relationship with his majestic preacher father: of the boy's leading his classes in college and being elected to the honorary Phi Beta Kappa society; as well as being called by Walter Camp, who named him twice on the All-American Football Team, "the greatest defensive end that ever trod the gridiron." Miss Sergeant at the conclusion of her essay compares Paul Robeson with the great Russian artist and opera singer, Fedor Chaliapin, and writes: "Let us give thanks that we were not born too late to hear this Negro Chaliapin render the spirituals reverently with wildness and awe, like a trusting child of God." Paul Robeson Booked for Russian Appearance Paul Robeson has been engaged to play Eugene O'Neil's "Hairy Ape" at the Kaneremy Theatre, Moscow, Russia. This is the house sustained by the government for the presentation of the best in drama; and an engagement there is the highest tribute that can be paid to a native or imported artist by the Russians. HOLDOVER IN NEWARK Butterbeans and Susie, the record comics, drew so well at the Orpheum Theatre as to warrant holding the act for a second week. The supporting program this week is composed of new units. The Washington Tribune News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements JOHN H. HARRIS GAYLORD C. CALDWELL, first tenor and manager of the "Cotton Belt Quartette" recording for the Brunswick Record Co. Caldwell was a former Washington boy who left this city as a member of the Harmonious Quartette. The Cotton Belt organization includes F. D. McCoy, baritone H. A. DeMund, second tenor, and R. H. Giles, basso. NOW WE LOSE "JAZZ" "SATEVEPOST" and WHITMAN CONSPIRE TO APPROPIATE "Jazz," the musical interpretation of the hectic after-war state of public mind, that grew out of the Negro musicians' comedy antics of some years, is being appropriated in its entirety by the white musicians, if we are to accept the story published by Paul Whiteman the most touted of white orchestra leaders. Despite the fact that the cabarets and clubs in San Francisco where he first heard the wierd and novel Jazz interpretations were all employing Negro musicians, he naively fails to mention them; nor does he mention the many compositions by Negroes that marked the whole history of Jazz. Neither are the Negro publishing offices where white composers were apprenticed before they attempted compositions of their onw mentioned. Referring to Mr. William Handy, the most conspicuous of Negro composers, he says that Handy was once asked as to the difference between Blues and Jazz, and Handy is credited with the unintelligent reply that, "Why, any fool knows that—Jazz is Jazz and Blues is Blues." This of course by implication belittles the mental capacities of a man who is one of the nation's foremost authorities on music—and if our best is so dumb the reader unconsciously assumes all to be benighted. A strange and most complete refutation of this implied charge of ignorance is found in the announcement, almost concurrent with the Saturday Evening Post story, of the early spring release of a book from the big publishing house of Albert and Charles Boni, 66 Fifth Avenue, New York, entitled "Blues, an anthology of jazz music from the early Negro folk blues to modern music." The descriptive pamphlet of a volume priced at $3.50 states that it is "A masterful and vivid . . . story of the development of jazz as is told clearly for the first time." This book is the work of Wm. Handy. "PLANTATION NIGHTS" ONE OF SEVERAL FLASH ACTS FOR FILM HOUSES "PLANTATION NIGHTS" ONE OF SEVERAL FLASH ACTS FOR FILM HOUSES Stewart and Washington, producing agents in New York are assembling 36 big acts of the tabloid variety for independant booking into film theatres as presentations in the metropolitan district surrounding New York with many bookings right in the city. There will be one colored act in the first group, with prospect of more should the draw of this act warrant it. The new act will be called "Plantation Nights." No principals have yet been mentioned as having been engaged. The agency is not connected with any circuit. COLORED FAIR IN JACKSONVILLE FLA The Afro-American Jubilee Spring Festival, Industrial and Agricultural Fair at Jacksonville, Fla., is announced for the week of March 29 to April 3. B. R. Rivers is the secretary. He advertises that excursion rates have been granted on all railroads in the territory. SOME OF THE CHICAGO OPERA LATE AGENCY COMPANY GUEST CHANGES OF 'SHUFFIN' SAM' FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1926 N'S THEA s, Fairs, The Deacons Club SOME OF THE LATE AGENCY CHANGES The Bert Levy circuit has added nine houses in the southern part of his circuit, and six additions have been reported from the section booked out of Detroit. Recent vaudeville correspondence from Arkansas indicates that Levy is playing colored acts in the Arkansas, and Oklahoma houses booked on the time. Al. Dow, with offices in the Strand Building, New York has taken over the booking of the Bristol Theatre, Bristol, Conn.; the Circle at South Manchester, N.H.; and the Globe in Bethlehem, Pa. This office plays many Negro acts. The Small-Strausburg office is offering a specialty to bookers of New York houses in the shape of an all-Negro vaudeville unit, the group doing an afterpiece in the old fashion as a 'closing act. This looks like a chance for the novelty acts to get a play to the white audiences. PHILADELPHIA AP- PROVES EBONY FOLLIES PHILADELPHIA AP- PROVES EBONY FOLLIES Both white and colored newspapers carried favorable criticisms of the new Dudley show "Ebony Follies" after critics had visited the presentation in The Dunbar theatre, Philadelphia, The Record, a daily speaks of the show as follows: "The Ebony Follies, offered last evening at the Dunbar, was a fast-moving show filled with strutters and comedians. The light-colored girls of the chorus proved to be up to all the latest prancing, and there were specialties of various kinds in the revue. A jazz band was a feature of importance. Attractive settings and costing, of course, had a shade in the generally favorable impression that was created by the performance." The Inquirer confirms the opinion expressed in these words "Whilewind dancing is an important feature of the "Ebony Follies" which entertained the opening audience of the week at the Dunbar yesterday. There has been much Charleston dancing here of late, but some of the speediest and most difficult steps were shown by the lively and dusky chorus which has much to do throughout this entertainment. The show is presented by a clever colored organization, with a number of principals of unusual talent. While the Tribune reviewer devoted a lengthy article to a detailed review that sustained the judgement of his fellow critics. KARLE KOOKE TO FEATURE SUNDAY CONCERT Handy to Conduct On March 21, Karle Kooke, impersonator of Bert Williams, and club comedian will be featured at the Princess Theatre, New York in a Sunday concert. The Ed Browns orchestra with Wm. Handy, "Daddy of blues" as conductor are being presented in a special program. GILPIN JOINS UNIVERSAL FILM STAFF TO DO "UNCLE TOM" Charles S. Gilpin has contracted to film the title character of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for the Universal Film Company with Lucien Marks' cast in the part of "Marks." The piece will be shot at Hollywood under the direction of Harry Pollard. The cast will include Pauline Frederick, Marguerite Fisher, Barbara Kent, George Siegmann and George Rulingsley. Eliza crossing the ice scene will be made in St. Louis with about a dozen dogs and two hundred extras. Another scene will be taken in New Orleans, according to press releases, though the latter may be faked in a more congenial spot for such a story. Insure for $5,000 with VICTORY LIFE INSURANCE CO.

On Thursday, March 4, the opera troupe was guests of manager Barrasso of the Palace Theater and Gardner and Barton, owners of the colored company at a midnight show, staged especially for them by the Nay Brothers and their company. So great did the show pull in Memphis that the records previously held by Mamie Smith with Bessie Smith second were broken. Two midnight shows were given, yet there was a turnaway at every performance. In Nashville the week previous, the show drew 1834 people at the opening performance, and turned away hundreds. ETHEL DOES QUICK RETURN Ethel Waters who packed 'em in in Baltimore last week, jumped into the Elmore Theatre, Pittsburgh, for this week where she plays a second engagement after a very brief absence since her former record week in the house. Billy King and Marshall Rogers are the supporting act. Their new act was the most astonishing thing offered to big-time bookers this season. It is an 18-minute talking act filled with comedy.

The piece is in its second week, having been held over. Marcus Slater, is of course there, for he and Quintard are close partners who have done much together. Amon Davis is principal comic with a fellow named Brooks playing second comedian. Helen Dolly, Edna Hawkins and Bessie Wilson head the female contingent.
