MRS. "GUSSIE" SCOTT DIES IN VIRGINIA HOME OF MOTHER
RECONCILED HUSBAND AT TENDS FINAL ILLNESS
PROVIDES FUNERAL
Death accomplished what the courts had failed to do for Mrs. Emma Augustus Scott, a Virginia girl who was the second wife of Cornelius Scott, owner of the Waffle and Coffee Shoppe on Florida Avenue, and whose Seventh Street place where she was an employee of his, was the center of a Bohemian patronage several years ago.
Mrs. Scott had entered an application in the District Courts, through Attorneys L. A. Bailey and Madison Hill to have set aside a decree of divorce for which Mr. Scott had applied, when tuberculosis claimed her, and after a final spell of her long illness, during which the restauranter was a bedside visitor, she passed away. She had been to Denver for this malady some time since.
Mr. Scott went to the Virginia home, which for the purpose of defeating morbid curiosity remains undisclosed, and provided for the funeral which was held Thursday, May 13, death having occurred at 10:30 p.m. on Monday. Mr. Scott returned to Washington and purchased a fine shroud for her funeral and it is known that the inscription upon the tombstone bears the words "My Wife."
Fate thus marks a close to one of the most picturesque domestic actions that has engaged public interest in Washington for some time.
The death came as a surprise to many people in Washington who knew "Gussie" as she was known to her intimates, though many of them knew she was out of the city visiting at the home of her mother in the Virginia town.
DR. NELSON MARRIED TO MEMPHIS BELLE
Memphis, Tenn., May 20—On Wednesday evening, May 5, at 336 East Butler Avenue, the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James R. Wright, Miss Blanche Louise Wright was united in marriage to William Stuart Nelson, teacher of philosophy in Howard University, Washington, D.C.

Johnson, secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Washington, D.C.
The bride, who is noted for her beauty, was a vision of loveliness in a gown, the waist of which was a blush satin with a venice lace skirt. The bride wore three narrow sprigs of orange blossoms over her forehead, and bunches of orange blossoms on each side joined this spray to a blush tulle veil, which was artistically plaited to fit the head and hung in a graceful train.
Miss Wright, the maid of honor, wore a gown of orchid georegist, heavily beaded in rhinestones and trimmed around the skirt with ostrich feather banding, and an orchid hat and slippers to match. Miss Annette E. Church, the bridesmaid, was attired in a gown of green crepe chiffon over green satin, trimmed in rhinestones, a white hat with green chiffon and velvet roses and white slippers.

JOHN WESLEY CH. CLOSING SUC- CESSFUL YEAR
Detroit, Mich., May 13—Dr. Henry Sweet was acquitted of the charge of murder by a jury after four hours' deliberation in his second trial upon the charges that grew out of of his killing those who ineffaced with his occupying a house he had purchased in a white neighborhood. Prosecuting Attorney Robert Toms, indicated that the cases of the eight associates of Dr. Sweet, including "Red" Wm. Davis of Washington, may not be pressed to trial. In the first case which resulted in a mis-trial, all had been tried together.
DR. MEDFORD'S RETURN REQUESTED; 200 NEW MEMBERS ADDED
With nearly two hundred members added to its roll during the past year and more than $16,000 raised for all purposes, John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets.
REV. H. T. MEDFORD
Northwest, will close its Conference year's work next Sunday.
The pastor Dr. H. T. Medford, the church delegate, Mr. W. T. Kennedy and others will attend and report the year's achievements to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Annual Conference which convenes in Galbraith Church this city, Tuesday of next week.
This concludes Rev. Medford's second year as pastor of the church. A joint meeting of the Board of Stewards and Trustees in recent call meeting voted a strong endorsement of his pastoral administration, and petitioned Bishop J. S. Caldwell, presiding bishop of the conference, to re-appoint Dr. Medford to John Wesley Church for another year. The quarterly conference of the church ratified the request of the Trustees and Stewards for the pastor's re-appointment, by a unanimous vote at its last session.
Aside from his strong and striking sermons, which are heard by great congregations representing all walks of life in Washington, each Sunday, Dr. Medford has proven himself an unusually alert, methodical, and business-like pastor. He is public spirited, and loses no opportunity to join with leaders of the city in fighting the battles for the race.
His personality helps in many uplift movements, and he never denies the strength of his influential pulpit to the advocacy of any cause or public welfare.
The John Wesley Church is regarded as a public forum in this city, and Dr. Medford is often pastor-host for meetings of a local and general nature that bring to his church many persons of both races with national, and international reputation.
During the two years of the present pastorate between four and five hundred members have been added, and the total membership now nearly reaches one thousand. The church is a special favorite of the younger group, and an exceptionally large number of high school, college and university students are found among the members, and in attendance upon the Sunday Services and weekly activ-

Heads of Land Grant Colleges Close Sessions
The conference of presidents of Negro land grant colleges, held under the sponsorship of the Department of the Interior, in the auditorium of the department building in Washington with demonstration sessions at the University of Maryland Agricultural College at College Park, Md., closed on Wednesday evening after a most interesting four days of work.
The purpose of the meeting was to study agricultural educational methods, industrial education, trade training, methods of internal administration and to elevate standards; Dr. John Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, presided, and Dr. W. C. John, specialist in higher education for the department, was executive secretary of this the sixth such annual meeting. Prof. John N. Gandy, president of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was general secretary of the sessions.
The following presidents of land grant schools were in attendance: Malone of Pine Bluff, Ark.; R. S. Wilkerson of Orangeburg, S.C.; Rowan of Alkorn, Miss.; J. S. Clarke of Baton Rouge, La.; Keat of Princess Anne, Ma.; R. S. Crossley of Dover, Del.; John N. Gandy of Petersburg, Va.; Parker of Normal, Ala.; J. R. Lee of Tallahassee, Fla.; Bledsoe of Prairie View, Texas; John W. Davis of Institute, W. Va., and A. B. Mitchell, business manager of the institute normal.
Mrs. Robert Parker of Normal, Ala. enjoyed the distinction of being the only woman present from out of the city. A number of important matters were accorded consideration, among them perhaps the most important being the effort to obtain greater assistance from the provisions of the Purnell act providing federal aid to education. Secretary of Interior Work addressed the Tuesday session.
A better reconciling of industrial and literary education was also a subject that was much discussed, though the matter was left in the hands of the committee in charge of the subject for further study until the next session.
The last day at Maryland University was devoted to the elements that enter into the correct judging of cattle and other farm products. Interviews with visiting instructors reveal that they are rapidly realizing the need of closer co-operation between the schools and the county, state and community fairs, if the educational features of both are to be more adequately placed at the disposal of the race group.
Many of the presidents were accompanied by instructors or other staff members of the faculties, so that while there are but twenty colleges members of the organization, more than fifty profited by the sessions and contacts with specializing government officials.
LOCAL U. N. I. A. TO HOLD FESTIVAL

WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1926
CONCLUSION OF MASONIC TEMPLE SALE DELAYED
The transfer of the Masonic Temple to the Grand Lodge Trustees in accordance with the terms of the sale of April 10th, should have been completed this week, but, Grand Treasurer S. S. Thompson advises that the time is extended for perhaps fifteen days by the inability of the title company to clear the title and deliver the papers due in the transaction when the $33,000 payment contracted is delivered.
This fortunee delay is helpful to the Masons inasmuch as they had not quite raised the required sum up to press-time, though high officials assured the Tribune that they were very close to that sum.
STOCKHOLDERS OF NEW MASONIC HALL TO HOLD MASS MEETING
Claim they were not considered in dissolution move
The stockholders of the New Masonic Hall Corporation announce the intention to hold a mass meeting on May 20, at Pythian Hall Building, in the arcade to discuss their interests in the move for dissolution of the corporation.
Many of the stockholders differ with their directors who have appended to the courts to dissolve the corporation as a failure; and they declare, according to one of them, that they were not consulted. Hence the call for a mass meeting.
What such a meeting may accomplish, or what effect any action it may take will have upon the court action of course remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the call is out, and the interest in the redemption project now occupying attention in Masonic circles invests the call with special interest to the craft.

A. F. OF L. PLEDGED TO TO SUPPORT BROTHERHOOD OF PORTERS

Chas. H. Flagg Named to Take Over Property
FINAL COURT ACTION PENDING
Justice Siddons, sitting in Equity Court of the District of Columbia; on Thursday, May 13th, appointed Charles H. Flagg as temporary receiver of the Pythian Building at Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, to remain in charge until the pending litigation has been determined upon its merits. Mr. Flagg is expected to relieve Lawrence E. Murray of the property on Saturday afternoon, or as soon thereafter as the preliminary details can be arranged for the transfer of authority: The suit pending is a proceeding brought by the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia to wrest control of the property from the Supreme Lodge of the Order, represented in Washington in the building control by Mr. Murray. Judge J. William Latimer and Attorney George C. Gertner represented the Grand Lodge in the matter, and Benjamin L. Gaskins, James A. Cobb and George E. C. Hayes are attorneys for the Supreme Lodge. They are assisted in the presentation of the case by Counsellor Watkins of the law firm of White, Watkins and Watson of Chicago, counsel for the Supreme Lodge of the Order. The case will in all probability not be brought to trial on its merits until autumn.
BIRTHDAY PARTY TENDERED TO S. H. DUDLEY
Mr. S. H. Dudley was twenty years old, plus, on last Wednesday, May 12, and the performers that are playing and "at liberty" in Washington this week conspired with the employees of the Dudley enterprises to celebrate the occasion as an expression of loyalty to their chief. More than a score of employees and about sixty performers, headed by Lloyd Wykes, general manager of the Dudley booking office, assembled after the evening performance at the Mid-City and converted the house into a big reception room.
At midnight, Mr. Dudley with a group of invited friends and business associates, were escorted into the theatre to witness a "run" of "Easy Money," a film in which Mr. Dudley is starred. The house was dark, and it was only when the assembled party let out applause that he realized what was happening.
At the finish of the picture the silver screen was raised and the stage was disclosed fitted with a completely set dining room table. He and the special guests were escorted to the table by volunteer lady ushers. Among those at the table were Mrs. Dudley, the mother of the "boy," and Mrs. Lloyd Wyckes and eight close friends. Attorney B. L. Gaskins, F. Morris Murray and Sammy Graham, all of whom had hoped to be present, sent beautifully worded letters or telegrams of regret.
After the dinner, a vaudeville program was interspersed with speeches. J. T. Jackson rendered a tenor ballad, M. M. Harris made a five-minute address followed by short addresses by Rufus G. Byars, manager of the Broadway Theatre; Lieut. Benjamin Keyes, Charles Taylor of the Federal Life Insurance Company; J.A. Jackson of the Tribune, and Dudley himself. The honor of closing the party was accorded his mother who made the boast that her "boy" had been her support since she was fourteen years of age, and that he had never given his mother one day's trouble or burden.
Happy Downer convulsed the party with a duplication of Mr. Dudley's stage work of other years. Marie Boatner, Margaret Hudson, Clint Jones, Henri Bowman, Jones and Coleman and the Warbingston ("Miss Charlezetta" and her husband, owners of the Actors' Rest) who literally stopped the show, contributed to the program.

Model Apartments May Be Built
New York, N. Y., May 14, 1926
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is reported to be planning a group of model apartment houses in the Negro section of Harlem, where he bought Ontario Field, the old athletic field of Harlem extending from Seventh to Eight Avenues, between 149th and 150th Street. The plans of Mr. Rockefeller for improving the property were not available, but it was said that he had been asked some time ago by a delegation to Negro leaders in Harlem to lend his adi in the housing problems there. It is believed that his purchase is the answer to their request and that with in a short time he will announce through Andrew J. Thomas, his architect, his plans for the Harlem block, the largest vacant property in Manhattan. Mr. Thomas designed the model apartments built by Mr. Rockefeller on Avenue A.

To Our Patrons and Friends
We hereby extend to each of you our hearty appreciation for your attendance at our recent Spring dance. To our many friends who failed to obtain their cards of admittance in advance we regret that we were compelled to refuse your admission. This procedure was necessary, not because we did not desire your presence, but, because we considered the comfort of those in attendance paramount to any selfish interest of the Club. Due to the warm weather and the capacity of the hall we found it essential to limit the number of admissions. If you will bear in mind our motto: "Your pleasure is our compensation," and cooperate with the "Tux" by obtaining your subscription in advance, you will oblige. Yours truly THE TUXEDO CLUB. (Inc)

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF PHARMACY ORGANIZED
SCHOOL MAKES RAPID PROGRESS
Though the Washington College of Pharmacy is less than six years of age, having been instituted in October 1920, its graduates last week were organized into an Alumni Association. The school was established with thirty freshmen and about ten seniors and juniors who had credits from other professional schools. Dr. William Jackson is responsible for the conception of the school. The association heartily concurred and Dr. Pride, senior druggist of the body became the first dean. After one year, the school was occupying larger quarters at 1824 Ninth Street, where the improved facilities drew an increased enrollment. Already there are 60 graduates and as many in the student body. The graduates have been very successful in passing boards in many states, and not a few of them own their own stores.
These graduates upon the call of Dr. C. Leonard Johnson 23, gathered in the laboratory of the College on Wednesday evening, May 5, perfected the organization of an alumni association. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Dr. Robert G. McGuire, president; Dr. E. R. T. Elliott, first vice-president; Dr. William E. Waters, second vice-president; Dr. William T.

WILSON HAS BEEN MAKING IMPROVEMENTS AT MARLBORO, MD.

The house will, by the time this appears in print, also have eleven additional bed rooms, of which will serve to make the house midway between Washington and Annapolis more popular than ever before.

The concert will be under the direction of Mr. Malton Boyce and Prof. Harry T. Hall, choirmaster. An elaborate program with orchestra accompaniment has been prepared. Classics of every period of composition and solos (both instrumental and vocal) will be presented.
This is the first of the annual concerts to be presented by the vested choir of St. Augustine's Church. To those who will enjoy hearing an evening of rendition of historical music and who will appreciate the rare opportunity of hearing the unusual talent offered, it is needless to say that the evening will be a veritable treat.
The program is as follows: Cantele Domino; My Song Shall Always be thy Mercy, duet by Milton T. Dorssey and Theo. Smith; Blessing, Honor and Glory; choir; Tu Rex. Gloria; choir; harp solo, Prospere Miragia; Sweet and Low; Bridal Chorus from the Rose Maiden; Deep River; Winter Days, choir

AS USUAL those who take advantage of their
Negroes have peculiar mental processes. The mental reactions to the segregated bathing pool as expressed by individuals and organizations among us, again demonstrate to the thoughtful that most of our group are opportunists devoid of any abiding or sincere principles to which we adhere for more than a moment. First, we indignantly protest against any legal separations of the races in the laws that provide the bathing pools; and then, immediately upon the passage of the law, the protestants begin a wild scramble to have the pool located here, there or elsewhere—preferably near "our home district."
Had the Negro race the guts of the ordinary man, they would not care a whoop in h——where the insulting institution was located—since a proper spirit of manhood and womanhood would forbid our noticing the existence of such excrescences of southern prejudice. The handkerchief clings tightly to most of our heads yet, and apparently will stay there for some time to come.
The Tribune recommends an absolute boycott of the proposed government-owned Negro pool, wherever located, and indoles the suggestion that the government be enjoined against unconstitutional enactment that provides for a pool exclusively for a particular race.
What really is "principle," anyway?
THE CIRCUS
The world's biggest circus has been in town this week, and has gone. Many people visited the Camp Meigs' lot during the two days of its stay; and all were awed, thrilled and excited by the day spent in an environment that is so different from our normal surroundings.
Circus day has been one of thrills to most of us at some time in our lives. We have all found the big amusement caravan interesting.
The genuinely educational features of the show, however, are not usually sufficiently disclosed, important as they are. How our people especially could profit if they could but see beneath the tinsel and glitter. What a lesson in efficiency, co-ordinated effort, systematic planning and complete harmony could be observed, if one were permitted to see what "makes the wheels go round," to borrow an apt phrase.
There is indeed much to learn from the demonstration afforded by those charged with assembling a ten-million-dollar property, and with moving it almost daily from one city to another. It is no small job to transport 1800 people and 900 animals is so brief a period of time as the performances permit.
Providing food for so many people is in itself a problem that commands the services of some high salaried officials and a large staff. The care of the normal needs of so many people and the protection of so large an investment calls for all of the functions represented in a community government; and without the element of stability under which civil officials serve. Doctors, veterinarians, policemen detectives, a postman, harness makers, barbers, tailors, blacksmiths, all have their places in the scheme.
It is worthy of study, the way each functions with complete autonomy; and yet the way each is co-ordinated into the needs of all so that a superintendent sitting in his office wagon, or the owner, perhaps thousands of miles away, may know the state of the business at all times.
How to divide responsibility, and to delegate authority is one of the lessons most needed if we are ever to succeed in really big business.

Too often we as a race are unmindful of the service rendered toward our advance by the man or woman of our group who has contact with the other races of the country via his or her employment. Many of the most friendly conditions are created by

those who take advantage of their positions to create a favorable impression for the group as a whole. Offtimes, just one Negro is employed in a large institution, or is alone among a great number of white persons whose knowledge of our race had previously been based upon contacts with types of servants of a lower intelligence, and as often as not that one person becomes first, a source of curiosity, then of information that awakens a new knowledge of the Negro and his thoughts in the minds of a group of whites; and thus such a person often is able to send forth ideas that completely alter the former impressions of those people.
The laugh provoking comedy of Bert Williams has been credited with once making a place for a Negro shipping clerk in a shoe concern in New York. The conversation of a young Jew who had become acquainted with a Negro stenographer whom he had learned to respect, broke up a strike against the employment of a colored clerk once in a Chicago bank. How many more such instances there may be is hard to determine, but it is safe to state that there are many. All of our progress must not be credited to the talkers. Some credit is due to those who quietly do their work at the point of the wedge.
HYPOCRISY OR WHAT?
The following editorial is from the Greensboro, N.C., Daily News of recent date. It is a highly informative discussion of southern lynching practices, and is presented to Tribune readers because of the authentic character of the editorial.
MISSISSIPPI GENTLEMEN AT WORK
Governor Whitfield, of Mississippi has instructed Sheriff Smith of Pearl county to conduct a thorough investigation of the lynching of Doc Jackson, using all possible diligence to "locate, identify and apprehend those responsible."
The Daily News ventures the propensity that those responsible will not be located; or, located, will not be identified; or, if located and identified, will not be apprehended; or, if located, identified and apprehended, will not be tried; or, if located, identified, apprehended and tried, will not be convicted; or, if located, identified, apprehended, tried and convicted, will not be punished. It has in mind the recent case in Mississippi in which a mob of citizens lynched a negro who had been tried and acquitted. Of that mob three members were located, identified and apprehended. One of them was actually tried, but naturally was found not guilty. The other two were not even tried. The fine fury which the lynching aroused throughout the more civilized sections of the state died quickly, almost as quickly as the negro himself died; and in the end the episode drifted over into that long list of other such episodes by virtue of which Mississippi has maintained for years high rank in the southern sport of killing human beings.
The Doc Jackson case has no unusual suspicion of complicity in the murder of McKemore and Mingee, the federal entomologists. One grand jury had investigated and had returned no true bill. Another grand jury, apparently, was thinking about investigating, presumably (although this is not clear) the same charges. The man was held under another indictment for another murder. He was either one of those men upon whom all crimes are hung or a thoroughly bad character. But he had been proved guilty of nothing. The job of lynching was done in workmanlike manner. Mississippi gentlemen had acetylene torches to force entrance into the jail and took the unusual precaution of wearing masks. Considerable time must have been required to break into the jail but if anybody thought it the part of duty to resist there is no record of it.
Jackson asked that he might put on his clothes but obviously the request could not be complied with. Nobody marred the scene by shooting; there was no point to rough stuff. It was necessary only to carry Jackson to a convenient bridge, loop a rope around his neck and shove him overboard. On the whole it seems to have been rather more of a gentlemanly job than most Mississippi lynchings, and that of course is to the credit of the state.
Sheriff Smith is now following the instructions of Governor Whitfield and is "investigating." There is a certain air of injured innocence which even officers of the law have to assume for a time.
INTERMENT SERVICES
Services were held on Wednesday afternoon at Rosemont Cemetery over the remains of the late Mrs. Ada Smith who died April 9th, and whose body has since reposed in a vault at the cemetery. It now rests in the family lot. Rev. W. H. Jernagin who was the pastor of the deceased, conducted this service, as he did the funeral. Mrs. Smith was a member of the Order of Moses.
THE WASHINGTON, TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1926
"FLIGHT"
Reviewed by J. A. Jackson
"Flight," a three hundred page novel by Walter White, author of "The Fire in the Flint," published by Alfred A. Knopf, of New York, from the press of Vail-Ballou, Binghamton, N. Y. released April 5th. Priced at $2.50 Net.
We have read "Flight" and found it good. The story unfolded is an interesting one, well told. The narrative of "Mimi," the New Orleans girl whose career takes her from her native home on the Gulf to New York, via, Atlanta and Philadelphia, with Paris trips later, arrests attention in the very first chapter and retains one's active interest until the story is concluded.
"Mimi" begins life with the heritage of grace, culture, and dignity. The ease with which these characteristics are maintained throughout the story, commands respect from the reader. Her trials are quite natural ones, free from artificiality, and they are told in simple, though forceful language. The novelist has created in "Mimi" a character that is as typical as it is natural.
The drawing of the contributory characters of the story has been deftly done. So well each fit its appointed place that a few hours with "Flight" is like a reminiscent trip for a reader who may have an intimate knowledge of life in southern cities.
The big punch in the story is the gentle, though none the less emphatic manner with which the writer discloses the dramatic struggle for a fair chance at life that must be made by the American whose mixed blood contains a Negro strain.
The immensely revealing chronicle of "passing" for white that is such a prevalent thing today may be a surprising revelation to many. This fact is only too well known to colored people all over the county. Whether the revelation will prompt a closer scrutiny of one's associates with the possibility of endless embarrassments, or result in a more Christian spirit of toleration is a question. Anyhow, Mr. White has laid the facts on the board.
It may wound the vanity of the Nordic to be told that those who "pass" yearn for their own people and pleasures; and more often than not return to the firesides of those whom they forsook, or to a similar circle.
The author of "Flight" has dealt with his subject with great fidelity. His descriptions of the progressive business Negro of Atlanta was especially good. In passing, it may be said, that the business prosperity of Atlanta will fit almost every American city, although the fact is little known. The clarity with which the social life of the different cities involved is

HOWARD GLEE CLUB THRILLS FIRST CONGREGATIONAL AUDIENCE
Enthusiasm greeted a beautiful program at the First Congregational Church, May 7, that established the Howard Glee Club ensemble as composed of male singers who demand serious attention and admiration. There was marvelous orchestral blending of voices under Roy W. Tibbs, conductor of this human symphony, when twenty-odd voices sang with such amazing beauty that they plucked at our heart-strings with undaunted daring over and again.
Bantuek's "Give A Rouse" was given with spirited interpretation and fine symmetry, suggestive of wild college-days gone by. "Jesu Dulcis" was fragrant in its simplicity as Vittoria's contribution. A typical Christ song was that of Praetorius' "Low, How a Rose 'er Blooming." "The Blizzard" by Cadman, depicting the "King" of winter, was spirited, alive in rhythm and interesting in dynamics; Work's "Lullaby" was a charming melody. Burleigh's "Mother O Mine" and "Just You" were delightful renditions.

DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL IN
ANNUAL SPRING PLAY
The classes in dramatics at the Dunbar High School will present Benavente's "Bonds of Interest" on Tuesday evening, May 18, in the auditorium of the school. The play is being directed by Miss Mary P. Burrill, teacher of dramatics who has been successful in staging many beautiful productions at Dunbar.
"The Bonds of Interest," translated from the Spanish, is beautiful in lines and setting, giving to the characters opportunity for displaying their proficiency in diction and acting.
The leading characters are: Frederick Phillips, Jesse Rollins, Lunette Logan, Elsie Miller, Ruth Matthews, Roy Sorrell and Juanita Williams.
Those who saw the artistic production of "Quality Street" last year will be especially desirous of seeing "The Bonds of Interest."

presented is equally good.
Take it from one who knows Harlem in New York that Walter White proves in "Flight" that he too knows Harlem, and what's more, knows how to interpret its peculiar blend of sombre seriousness and exotic elements in words.
The book merits a place among the first six, for it has entertainment value, literary merits and a purpose, and these features are nicely blended.
Levington Smith, tenor soloist, held his audience. His voice is full of color and his phrasing is extremely beautiful and intelligent.
Comic numbers including "Ma Little Banjo" (Dichmont); "Firefies" (Russian Folk); "Chit-Chat" (Moffat); "But, They Didn't" (Rogers) caught the fancy of the audience. Moorish Serenade (Protheroe) was given the oriental atmosphere it deserves as well as "Castilla", suggesting knighthood days of chivalry.
A rich bass choir was evident in the "Shadow March". Lester Dorsey, baritone soloist, made "Coombs". "Her Rose" a living creature. His legato at times was almost faultless, his enunciation clear and his diction delightful.
He gave the spirituals good interpretation and feeling also.
Monroe C. Dowling, violinist, played Drdia's "Souvenir" and the "Elegy" as an encore. He is a talented young man and is destined to make a place for himself in the "sun" some day. "A Plainsman's Song" by Bliss closed the program.
Harry G. Smith, both as piano soloist and accompanist, enhanced the the evening's program. He has the stamp of a genuine artist.

Church and
Sunday School
FATHERS HONORED WITH SPECIAL PROGRAM BY WOMEN AT
SHILOH CHURCH
A special service was held Sunday night at Shiloh Baptist Church by the women of the church in honor of all fathers, Mrs. John D. Fisher, presiding.
After selections by the choir composed entirely of ladies, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham delivered an interesting address in which she pleaded for a return to the old fashioned religious ideals in child rearing.
Miss Thelma Bell rendered an appropriate solo in charming style.
The outstanding feature of the musical program was a series of selections by Miss Minnie J. Simons, demonstrating the magnificent new four manual organ.
The use of the vox humana as a solo stop with swell string accompaniment and of the echo flute similarly used, were highly pleasing as also was the use of the chimes, which with the flute, the vox and two strings are in the echo division in the rear ceiling.
A solo for harp alone was possibly the most unique feature of Miss Simons' work.
The demonstration closed a fanfare on full swell alterating with echo, and concluding with full organ and pedal octaves.
Miss Simons, who is especially good at legato pedal work, is probably the first lady of the race to demonstrate a four-manual organ with the echo at the other end of the auditorium.

After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson went to New York. They sailed on the Olympic, May 8, for Germany where the groom will pursue the studies necessary to secure the degree of doctor of philosophy, for which he has been working in Europe for several years. The groom's present to the bride was a platinum and diamond pin. The gifts to the bride were numerous and valuable and came from some of the most distinguished representatives of the race throughout the United States. Robert R. Church, the well known political leader, is a first cousin to the bride. Among the out of town guests were Mrs. Mary Church Tarrell, Washington, D.C., and Mrs. John Roy Lynch, Chicago, Ill.

IS DISFRANCHISEMENT OF NEGRO CONSTITUTIONAL?
QUESTION DISCUSSED FRANKLY IN THE SENATE
The question of whether or not the Southern States are disfranchising Negroes in violation of the Cqstitution was injected into a discussion of the prohibition law on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, April 21st.
Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Iowa, contended that laws disfranchising Negroes in Southern States are within the Constitution.
Senator William Cabell Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, argued that the South solved its suffrage problems despite the Constitution.
This discussion was begun when Senator Borah characterized Senate hearings on modification of the Volstead act as "a great campaign to find a way by which to evade the Constitution of the United States without apparently doing so." He declared that the fundamental question involved was the enforcement and upholding of the Constitution, "not only in letter but in spirit." He flayed the proposal to leave to the several states the enforcement of the Constitution.
When Senator Borah declared that the great debate prior to the Civil War was over the question of "whether or not the States should determine what laws should be enforced and what should not, under the Constitution of the United States," Senator Bruce interrupted to say that "The Senator will remember, however, that when the South asked that the fugitive slave law be enforced, legislatures throughout the free States convived, in just the manner the Senator from Idaho has reprobated so strongly, for the purpose of defeating the rights of the South under that law, and passed personal liberty laws." He added that "Judges and juries, too, refused to put the law into execution." Senator Borah asked whether or not Senator Bruce contended "that the Northern States which undertook by legislation to nullify the provisions of the Constitution which gave the Southern States the right to follow their slaves were applying constitutional principles. They were simply evading, nullifying and destroying the Constitution itself," Senator Borah said.
Senator Bruce agreed with him and said that it illustrated the fact that "when laws undertake to fly, in the face of nature they will not be observed."
"Did not the South after the Civil War determine for itself, without regard to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution, whether it would or would not have ignorant Negro suffrage riveted upon its neck?" Senator Bruce asked.
"Did not every southern man of every station in life exercise every power that lay in him to stay the consequences of that frightful curse?" "So far as I know," replied Senator Borah, "every law passed by the Southern States and now in force with reference to Negro enfranchisement, or the right of the Negro to vote, has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States as constitutional."
Senator Bruce declared that "there is nothing which I regard with more satisfaction than the fact that when I was a boy, living in a remote countryside, all the white citizens of that community were banded together like brothers for the purpose of nullifying those amendments to the Federal Constitution, and defeating the will of Congress when it endeavored to enforce them; and, thank God, they defeated it."
Senator Borah charged that Senator Bruce was preaching the doctrine of communism in the Senate. When Senator Bruce denied this charge, Senator Borah repeated the charge and added anarchy.
"But do I understand the able Senator from Maryland to contend that the Southern States are now, in violation of the Constitution and in violation of the Supreme Court decisions, disfranchising the Negroes of the South?" Senator Borah asked.
"I mean to say that the South has solved its own suffrage problems in its own way, and it has solved them so wisely, despite constitutional and statutory inhibitions, that the whole country has acquiesced in its conduct," Senator Bruce replied. "The southern people chose between constitutional abstractions and civilization." Senator Bruce said. Senator George H. Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire, declared that they had another choice of reduction of representation. "It is a great and high privilege to suppress millions of votes." Senator Moses said, "and why does not southern chivalry come to the front and pay the price which the Constitution mentions?" Senator Borah declared that he has "always thought that the enfranchisement of the Negro, at the time it took place, was a mistake. It was unjust to the white and unjust to the colored man.
"I have said here on the floor of the Senate," Senator Borah said, "I thought it was a mistake to take a race which had been in slavery for three hundred years, and overnight put upon them the burdens and the obligations of discharging political duties in a great representative Republic, an almost impossible proposition. It required something of the Negro that no race in history could have adequately met. He would have been better off to have worked out through time and education his franchise. But I do not agree with the Senator (Bruce) that at the present time the Southern States are doing these things in violation of the Supreme Court decisions. They have worked out a solution within the Constitution and within the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States."
The Parent-Teacher Association of the Henry Smothers School was largely attended at the school, on Thursday night. The president, Mrs. Ella Lewis, presided. Invocation by Rev. Thomas Tidlon of the Jones Memorial Church. Many new members were added to the roll, and the membership campaign is to continue. The association decided to give a luncheon early in May of which Mrs. Blanche Hawkins is chairman. Dr. John French was made chairman of a literary program to be rendered in May.
A comprehensive talk was delivered by the principal, Miss R. E. Tolliver, who stressed the marked progress made by the school, in a little more than seven years. The enrollment has increased from 71 pupils to 263. Instead of two teachers there are now eight. To the school building, four rooms are to be added next year, and the present building completed, including the grading of the yard and installing the necessary equipment to perfect the ventilating system. Smothers School is one of the twenty-one schools taking part in the Dramatic Carnival given the week of May 17. The school's play is called "In Bluebeard's Chamber." Miss H. M. Williams and Mrs. H. H. J. Harris have been appointed to prepare the school for a "sing" during Music Week. May 24-28. Rev. Thomas Tilden and Captain H. D. Queen, president of the Citizen's Association. Rev. Tilden made short talks.
An instrumental solo by Mrs. M. H. Rhoden teacher of the second grade, and a vocal solo by Miss H. M. Williams of the fourth grade, were rendered.
Supervising Principal J. C. Bruce was the principal speaker of the evening. He advised the parents to play more attention to the health of their children.

WARE'S HOTEL AT HIGH- LAND BEACH ENLARGED
Wares' Hotel at Highland Beach, Md., the exclusive colony near Annapolis, has been re-opened for the season. Visitors who have been there before will be greatly surprised at the altered and improved condition of the hotel. A whole floor has been added, and a new wing constructed, giving the house a total of seventy-five rooms, and making possible a much enlarged dining room. The new arrangement in the culinary department permits the easy accommodation of many more dinner guests than was possible here-tofore.
Parties of any size from duet combinations up to a bus load group may now be accorded a table of adequate dimensions for their service without any turbulent re-arrangement.
The new dining room provides an excellent view of the bay, as does the assembly deck on the second floor.
If the number of motor parties for dinner so early in the season as last Sunday are any indication, the coming

Howard and Manassas Win Track Meet
High School Boy's Running Is Feature
By Louis R. Lautier
Last Saturday was an ideal day for annual track meet.
The winning in the collegiate class of the meet which was held on Howard University campus goes to the Howard University track team. There were but two schools entered in this class—Howard and Lincoln.
Manassas Industrial Institute, of Manassas, Va., was the winner in the high school division. Competition in this class was almost as limited as in
A
TRACK MEET STAR
GUS MOORE
the collegiate class, Dunbar High, Baltimore Vocational, Douglass High of Baltimore, Storer College and Bordentown being the only secondary schools represented.
Save for the performances of Gus Moore, of the Boys' High School, Brooklyn, N.Y., the meet was colorless and slow. His best exhibition was given in his winning of the two-mile open event when he almost lapped the field and finished going away strong. He showed class.
Lige Williams and Joe Carter were the Howard University stars. They made fairly good time in the events in which they ran.
Ned Gourdin was present and gave an exhibition of the running broad jump and the javelin throw. DeHart Hubbard, holder of the World's record for the running broad jump, failed to put in his appearance, and the large crowd that witnessed the meet was disappointed.
The poor competition at the meet is perhaps due to the fact that Howard University is not a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which association contains most of the larger colored colleges.
Summary of Events
Collegiate—Howard, 68; Lincoln 23.
Interscholastic—Manassas, 27; Bordentown, 17; Storer, 14; Stuyvesant High School, New York, 10; Dunbar High School, 5; Hartford High School, 3; Baltimore Vocational, 3; Morgan, 3.
100-yard dash, open—won by Williams (Howard); Carter (Howard), second; Lewis (Baltimore), third. Time, 10 sec. flat.
100-yard dash, interscholastic—won by Simms (Stuyvesant); Collins (Storer), second; Waddell (Manassas) third. Time 10 1-5.
One-mile run open—Won by Moore (Stuyvesant); Mitchell (Lincoln), second; Miller (Morgan), third. Time, 4 min. 42 sec.

Baltimore, Md., May 9—The Baltimore Black Sox took a double header from the champion Hilldale club Sunday winning the first game 9-2 and the second 11-6.
Tarlton Strong made his 1926 debut by winning his game in fine style. He struck out seven and allowed seven hits, while the Black Sox knocked Winters out of the box in the seventh. Henry who relieved him was batted at will. John Beckwith hit his true stride by getting three hits, a homer and two doubles in the first game. He also got three safe blows in the second, one being a double to center.
Ryan and Campbell were banged around at will in the second game.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday, Mae Busch and Percy Marmont will be shown in "The Miracle of Life."

Theatrical Notes
REPUBLIC THEATER
On Sunday and Monday, May 16, 17—"The Million Dollar Handicap" with Vera Reynolds, Edmund Burns and Ralph Lewis. The most splendid story of the turf ever seen on the screen—the wild shouts of applauding crowds, the thud of hoofs, amid thunderous sheers she rides to glorious victory. Extra added attraction, chapter three of "Fighting Hearts." Tuesday and Wednesday, May 18, 19—Mary Philbin in "Stella Maris" a world-famous novel by William J. Locke. Miss Philbin is supported by Elliot Dexter and Gladys Brockwell. A masterful picturization of a big vital story that took the world by storm. Mary Philbin gives a Lon Chaney characterization, taking a dual role. The story is absorbing to the last detail, a picture-drama of love triumphant in the face of the black shadows of evil.
Thursday and Friday, May 20, 21—Betty Compson in "Counsel for the Defense" with House-Peters. A story of circumstantial evidence so piled up against one man that no lawyer in town would undertake his defense. But one did, because the tradey was in her own home, and the fight she makes in her father's behalf constitutes one of the most stirring scenes recorded on the screen.
Saturday, May 22, (one day only)—On the screen a first-run picture "The Dixie Merchant" with Mudge Bellamy and Jack Mullah. On the stage, at 7:30 and 9:30, Dick Hall's Night Hawk Serenaders assisted by talent.
Coming soon—"Brown of Harvard" the greatest of football and college life ever brought to the screen.
SCREEN CLASSIC AT LINCOLN
Those who see Warner Bros. production of "The Sea Beak," starring John Barrymore, opening on Sunday at the Lincoln Theatre, will see the three-masted whaling schooner, The Three Brothers, of New Bedford, weather a terrific fire. Was this sequence made in a studio tank? Most emphatically no! It was made in one of the worst gales of the season of the California coast. The great storm waves that break over the ship from stem to stern are real waves, the torrential rain is real rain, and the furious blasts that drive it horizontally into the leathern faces of the crew of real sailormen are those of the storm wind.
It was originally intended to make these scenes at a quiet dock with the usual aid of wave machines, wind machines, and rain machines. But a great storm blew out of the west. "Let's take it at sea in a real storm," said Barrymore, who in making this picture was realizing the ambition of years.
A real storm at sea caught by the camera remains as an integral part of a great epic of a great American industry, making vividly real the atmosphere of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," from which "The Sea Beast" was adapted.

GRAND MASTER AND GRAND COMMANDER PRESENT
S. H. Dudley Honored
The Deacons Club of Prince Hall Masons of Washington, Corner, No. 2 has been wakening up and the new interest in the organization designed to assist travelling Masons demonstrated its renaissance last Saturday night in a most emphatic manner.
Honorary memberships were conferred upon S. H. Dudley the theatrical magnate, and upon Dr. S. S. Thompson, Grand Commander of the Knights Templars. In addition eight others were made active members with the usual ritualistic program of the "battered hat" branch of the ancient craft.
After the meeting which was held in the dance room of the Liberty Hotel, a banquet was served in the main dining room of the hotel. Covers were set for thirty people, and inasmuch as the proprietor, Mr. Greenlease was among the candidates, one may be assured that "some" menu and service were provided.
Grandmaster Charles Ford was honor guest. Among the Deacons present and working were National Secretary, J. A. Jackson; Charles D. Freeman, who acted as "Senior" for the occasion; Edward Morris who had charge of the plans, and Elwood Hubert who was later elected secretary of the Corner, and Edward Lawson one of Washington's oldest Deacons. A full complement of officers were elected for the Corner.
Deacons Sammy Graham, Henri Bowman, Will White, Edgar Conners and Wilbur Sweatnam, all performers who were to have been guests failed to show up. Some of these were obliged to be absent due to travel orders.
Sherwood Trask, who for the past seven years has been putting on revues in Germany, France and in other continental countries, is now in New York picking up new material and observing some people and acts. He is making his mail headquarters at the 42 Street branch of the National City Bank, New York, which tells a story of success that is indisputable.

"DADDY OF THE BLUES"
PLAYS FOR NEWSDEALERS
W. C. Handy, widely known as "The Daddy of the Blues" presented his orchestra before the Book Publishers Association Convention at St. Louis, Mo., on May 10. The occasion served to introduce his book "Blues" released this week by Albert and Charles Boni, publishers of New York. The release date of the publication is May 22. The introductory chapter is by Abbe Niles and the illustrations are by Miguel Covarubius.
"THE VANISHING AMERICAN"
AT THE BROADWAY
On Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present Zane Greys' novel on the screen, "The Vanishing American" with Richard Dix, Louis Wilson, Noah Beery, Malecolm McGregor and a notable cast. It was three years in preparation and six months in production. Ten thousand Navajo Indians are used in the cast and when a few thousand of them rush in a mad wild war dance upon the cliff dwellers it is a sight worth seeing. In other words if you want the kind of entertainment that will be the thrill of a lifetime don't miss "The Vanishing American."
On Tuesday, is offered an astounding revelation made to touch the hardest heart with Milton Dills, Soris Kenyon and May Allison in "I Want My Man."
Wednesday and Thursday, Monte Blue and Patys Ruth Miller are seen in "Red Hot Tires."
The week will end with everybody's favorite, Bebe Daniels and Harrison Ford in "Lovers in Quarantine."
Mabel Jones who is a product of the Caranov-Veskoff school of New York, and who after graduation began teaching dances in Columbus, Ohio, presented her students, thirty in all, in their first public affair at Memorial Hall, Columbus, on May 7. Interpretive, character and pantomine numbers were offered. "Ebony Pollies" is doing nicely in the burlesque houses as an after-season attraction. So well has the show pulled that Variety, the trade publication prophesies its retention on the wheel as a regular season attraction.

INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN BANDMASTER TROUPIING AGAIN
P. G. Lowery, of Cleveland, Ohio came into Washington with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey circus as conductor of the side show band of fifteen pieces. He has been absent from the sawdust and spangles for two seasons, having retired three years ago to his Cleveland home where he became the instructor and director of the Elks' band, Excelsior Band of the Masons, and of the Silver Leaf Women's Band. This latter organization was a promotion of his own, and the band has achieved a very considerable reputation as a result of engagements in many towns in Pennsylvania and Northern Ohio. Notwithstanding personal fortune.
Notwithstanding personal fortune, fraternal and professional prestige in his home, and a charming wife there, Lowery's twenty years of troubling with the white tops has too strong a hold to resist, and he is again on tour. He has a fine organization, many of whom have been with show and director for years. Their program ranges from jazz to the classics, and each number is effectively rendered. The band includes William Matthews, W. Thomas Hill, Thomas May, L. J. Craighead, Riehard Jasper, Howard Duffey, Sim Miller, Percy Lee, Herbert M. Alvis, Frank Smith, and M. O. Russell. Several of these artists play more than one instrument when occasion requires.

The team of Brown and Marguerite playing with Dusty Murray's tabloid show at the Howard Theatre, this week, is about the strongest part of an otherwise typically ordinary small stage tabloid that is lost on the big stage of the Howard Theatre.
Save for the scenery of the dance act, there was noting special in that direction. The chorus of four girls all good showers, were totally inadequate to so large a house; and the comedians, funny at times were apparently "Ad-libbing" and faking their scenes which were drawn out beyond logical length for the volume of mirth provided. All in all, it was a too small company and business reflected public opinion on such presentations.
Herman Brown and wife are working toward Washington in an uninterrupted tour of the T.O.B.A. They are in the Lenox Theater, Augusta, Ga., this week.

PICTURE BOOKS FOR OUR YOUNGEST READERS
Because of the constant demand for lists of books from our readers, we will publish, from time to time, short lists of books.
This week we give a list of picture-books that contain stories that our youngest readers will enjoy reading.
A. B. C. Book. By Charles E. Falls.
This is a first book for children. It is an animal picture alphabet book printed in color from wood blocks which were drawn and cut by C. B. Falls, whom Joseph Pennell calls "the best color printer." Each of the pictures is not only a very fine work of art but also a story in itself. The Black Cats and the Tinker's Wife. By Mary Baker. A delightful tale for little children of the Tinker and his wife who rescue from a cave a company of enchanted cats. The story is told not only in the text, which is charmingly written, but by a series of 62 fascinating silhouettes of cats and kittens of all sorts. The Enchanted Bunnies. By Ruth Sawyer.
Because children adore bunnies and are always ready to hear a new story about them, Ruth Sawyer has gathered in this book legends and folk-material on bunnies from all the different countries in the world. Her pictures are bright and unusual. The Mirror Book. By Milton Goodman. Children may now go "through the looking-glass" and meet with strange adventures like Alice by means of this remarkable "Mirror Book." Its irresistible text and its many pictures are printed up side down and backwards, but the magic mirror puts them straight, to the children's vast delight.
HOWDY!

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1926
PHILADELPHIA ENTERTAINS
SCOTTISH RITE ORDER
FIFTEENTH TRI-ENNIAL MEET
ING OF THE UNITED SUPREME
COUNCIL OF THE ANCIENT
SCOTTISH RITE
In the city of Philadelphia the members of the United Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Northern Jurisdiction gathered on Saturday, May 8th to attend the 15th tri-ennial session by order issued from Dr. Sumner A. Furnish, the M. P. S. Grand Commander.
On Sunday evening a public Memorial Service was held at the Shilo Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Powell, pastor. On this occasion the sermon was preached by Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, 32 degree, of Buffalo, N. Y.
On Monday morning, May 10th, at ten o'clock the opening session of the United Supreme Council took place in full ceremonial form, at the Pythian Castle. During the evening and after adjournment, the members of the United Supreme Council and visiting peers were entertained by Pyramid Temple No. 1, Nobles of the Mystic. Shrine at their mosque, 1434 Catherine Street.
On Tuesday the session of the Supreme Council was continued, at which time matters of importance were acted upon. Further consideration to the award of scholarship to Negro youth were looked into as compared with last year's work. The session closed in the evening with a banquet tendered by De Molay Consistory No. 1, of Philadelphia, to the United Supreme Council at Pythian Castle.
This session promised to bring to fruit the realization of building a Sanctuary in the city of Brotherly Love, where the plot has been paid for in full. Under the able leadership of Dr. Summer A. Furnish, 33 degree, M. P. S. Grand Commander, the highest officer in the Scottish Rite for the Northern Jurisdiction—Prince Hall suasion—with whom are represented George W. Crawford, of New Haven, Conn.; William A. Heathman, Providence, R.I.; Robert C. Barnes, Detroit, Mich.; Joseph J. Lée, Columbus, Ohio; R. W. J. Jeffrey, Detroit, Mich.; Howard D. Gould, 33, Philadelphia, with a host of others, the Ancient Scottish Rite augurs well for the future in the hands of these distinguished citizens.
SPEECH BY NATIONAL DIRECTOR NEXT WEEK
PAGEANT NEXT MONTH FEATURES OF Y.W.C.A. PROGRAM
Last Week's Activities Pleasant
On Tuesday, May 18th at 8 p.m., Miss Elizabeth Eastman of the National Board will address the Business and Industrial Study Club.
A pageant, "June Blessings" is to be given early in June by the Girl-Reserves. This will mark the closing of the formal club work for the summer. Plans for camp are being made now. The camp is located at Arundel, Md., and will be-open for girls from July 19th to August 30th. Registrations are received at the Y.W.C.A.'s office.
Sunday, May 23rd at the Vesper Service, the Dramatic Club will give a sacred pageant, "The Way of the Cross" under the direction of Mrs. Sofia D. Wicks.
The swimming class is growing rapidly—register now.
The Spring Parade and Art Exhibition on May 7th under the direction of Mrs. R. P. Hamlin with Mrs. Georgia F. Goines, accompanist, was a beautiful affair. At the Art Exhibition there were many artistic things on display and the exhibit of curios collected by Mr. Simons on his trip to India was a rare treat to those who saw them. Among the guests to this exhibition was Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools.
The Girl Reserves gave a Mother and Daughter Party Saturday afternoon, May 8th. An interesting Mother's' Day program was given by the girls and refreshments were served.
A UNIQUE ADVERTISEMENT
One of the most unique and expensive advertising novelties that has ever been distributed by a Colored business concern is an ash tray that Beltran and Barker, tire dealers, have given out to cigar stores and other public places. It is a miniature rubber balloon tire surrounding a glass disc that serves as the bottom. In the disc is a modest advertisement of the firm. The little novelty is evidently quite costly—but it is effective.
THE NOVELTY DEN FEATURED MOTHER
The Novelty Den, a studio devoted to the artistic things of life that Furman A. Robinson conducts on U Street Northwest featured as a window display last week, a solitary picture of an elderly woman. The framed picture was a nice bit of work done in oil, and the simplicity of the single presentation made a distinct appeal to many passersby. It was a rare bit of publicity.

Johnson; recording secretary, Louise Cook; publicity secretry, Georgiana Simpson; journalist, Ethel Hall historian, Muriel Milton; treasurer, Mabel Raymond.
