Washington Lawyer Killed by N.Y. Subway Train FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. VI, No. 12 Washing Resumption of GRAND LODGE COM- PLETES PLANS TO FINISH BLDG. Negotiations were concluded on Wednesday of this week so that when these are culminated with the filing of a series of legal instruments in the office of the Recorder of the District, there can be a resumption of construction work on the Masonic Temple that has in its partially completed state been an eyesore at Teph and U Streets. Northwest. S. J. Solomon, whose offices are in the Bond Building, has agreed to assume the obligation for the unpaid balance on the purchase price when the incomplete structure was sold at a receiver's sale, and to complete the structure with some alteration of the original plans and specifications. It is estimated that about $175,000 will be spent in completing the building under the revised plans. This, with $66,000 advanced by Mr. Solomon to meet the requirements of the trustees appointed by the court as receivers, will make a total obligation of $241,000 for the Masonic Grand Lodge to meet. Commissions and legal costs add something to this total, all of which is to be cared for by Mr. Solomon who is secured by holding title to the building and grounds until satisfied. Yearly Interest Charges The interest charges on the completed building will approximate $15,000 per year. The transactions involved in the newest development are as follows: A conveyance from Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, trustees in equity cause, Number 43798, conveying the title of the property to the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. A first trust made to Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, as trustees of the court, by the Grand Lodge for the sum of $66,000 deferred purchase money. The Grand Lodge grants to S. J. Solomon a deed in fee conveying the property to him. A contract agreement executed by S. J. Solomon and wife agreeing to re-convey the property to the Grand Lodge upon completion of the building. A trust is then to be given to Mr. Solomon for the entire sum due him for money advanced and the construction costs. Questions Arise There was a hitch that threatened to prevent the consummation of the arrangement when a question arose as to whether the date of origin of the interest upon the unpaid balance should begin, with the date of sale, or the date that the payment of one third of the sum bid was paid into the title company and title given to the Grand Lodge which had purchased the property at the receiver's sale. Another question arose as to the means by which Mr. Solomon was to be protected from possible liens or other obligations made prior to the purchase of the property by the Grand Lodge. After a series of conferences between the contracting parties, these questions were left open for the determination of the court. These matters, minor in character will not likely be determined before some time in October. Work, however, may be started on the building just so soon as the papers mentioned above have (Continued on page 3) GEORGE GRICE WAS INVESTOR IN NEGRO ENTERPRISES GEORGE GRICE WAS INVESTOR IN NEGRO ENTERPRISES According to the schedule of holdings submitted in the petition for letters of administration, accompanying the will filed for George Grice who died on June 26 at his residence, 1423 Sixth Street, Northwest, the deceased undertaker was a strong believer in the future of business enterprises promoted by his own race.

The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1926 OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N ngton Lawyer Killed by N.Y. Subw of Construction Work on Prince Hall Masonic Temple Assu HEAVY TOLL OF INFANT MORTALITY REVEALED A report issued by the Department of Commerce reveals that the rate of mortality among Negroes under one year of age is far higher per thousand than among white people. A survey of 100 cities shows some appalling figures. In Leavenworth, Kansas, 571 out of every 1000 Negro infants born, die before they are a year old, while on 77 white children are lost. From this comparison the scale diminishes slowly until the ninety-second town is named, in Biloxi, Miss. It is reported from there that the Negro mortality is but 77 per thousand while the whites suffer a loss of 117 infants out of each thousand. Negro mortality is least in but eight communities listed. Washington D.C., despite its hospital facilities its hygienic and physical training in the public schools and the number of Negro physicians, is reported as having an infant mortality rate among Negroes of 103.5 per thousand as against 61.6 among white citizens of the District. In New York we lead the infant death rate with 105 per thousand with white people registering 65.9 of each thousand. Baltimore reports 124 to compare with 75 of the opposite race. Staunton, Va., is credited with 260:7 to 107 whites. While Roanoke has 135 colored deaths of one year-olds or younger to 75 such white babies. Richmond buries 124 colored children less than a year old to 69 whites of similar age. Philadelphia reports 130 Negro infants under one years as dying compared to 67 white children of like age. MORNING STAR LODGE PRESENTS JEWEL TO ARMOND W. SCOTT On Tuesday evening, Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, L.B.P.O. Elks presented to Attorney Armond W. Scott a specially designed diamond studded gold jewel, emblematic of his three years' service. Mr. Scott, had served the entire fraternity as its head from 1916 to 1919, and has since then been a prominent factor in the organization. The beautifully designed and ornamented badge cost the Lodge $300 and the presentation was made an occasion of unusual proportions. William H. Davis, Exalted Ruler with a staff and delegation from Columbia Lodge was present. Judge Edward Henry of the Municipal Court of Philadelphia headed a delegation from the O.V. Catto Lodge of Philadelphia that graced the occasion. A number of Elks from other cities nearby were present, including the big Monumental Lodge of Baltimore, with Samuel Helmsley heading the delegation. The designing and purchase of the jewel was conducted by a committee composed of Floyd C. Payne, secretary of Morning Star Lodge, William H. Walker, the father of the lodge, and Frank Lewis, chairman of the delegation to the Grand Lodge. The presentation speech was made by Floyd Payne who recounted the services of the recipient, and the usual forceful and frank speech that is so characteristic of the recipient was made in response. The session was the final meeting of the lodge prior to their departure on a special train on Sunday for the annual convention of the order at Cleveland next week. INJURED BY FALLING WALL Moses Lee, 215 Seaton Place, and Rodney Jordon, 941 Columbia Road, were severely injured on Monday while working with Captain Harry Thurber, superintendent on the Boyle-Robertson Construction Company on a contract job of foundation work for an office building to be constructed at Fifteenth Street and New York Avenue on Monday when a thirty-foot section of brick wall gave away. Mr. Seaton suffered a crushed right ankle that physicians at Emergency Hospital declare may cause him to have his foot amputated. Mr. Jordon had his right leg fractured by falling debris. Reginald Galloway, a fellow worker, was also injured sufficiently to require hospital treatment. WASHINGTON, D. C.

UNDER INTER- RACIAL ACT FIRST CASE IN VA. UNDER INTER- RACIAL ACT SAYS BROTHER'S WIFE IS NEGRO: BROTHER SAYS NO SENT ON TO GRAND JURY By William Conklin Brown (Courtesy of The Staunton Tribune) Harrisonburg, Va., Aug. 19—William Dove and Miss Mary Grove of the Bergeton section were held for the action of the Rockingham County, grand jury last Wednesday by a full magistrate's court with one dissenting opinion. The couple is charged with violation of the new interracial integrity law. The court room in which they were tried was filled to capacity—this being the first case, as far as is known, in the state for violation of the recently enacted law, prohibiting the marriage of white persons to one "who has a trace" of Negro blood in his veins, and prohibits such persons from living together even if married in another state. Miss Grove, who is very fair and of olive type, is charged with having Negro blood in her veins. William Dove married her last May in Cumberland, Md., and returned to Rockingham County recently to live. Couple is Ordered to Vaccate Evidence was introduced to show that the couple were married at Cumberland, Md., after first efforts made to have the ceremony performed in Hagerstown had failed. The complaint against the couple was made by Charles Dove, a brother of the groom who has just returned from the West. It is claimed that Charles Dove, the complaining brother, and the groom had trouble over the disposition of the settlement of the estate on which William Dove lived with his alleged colored wife. The homestead is located at Brock Gap, in the western section of Rockingham County. William Dove was lodged in jail, while his bride of a few months was released on $500 bail. Conviction on the charge may carry a penalty of from two to five years' imprisonment in the state penitentiary for both parties. Opinion in this section is very much divided, and some think that the commonwealth will have the time of its life proving the girl a Negro. JUDGE CALLS HIM WASH- INGTON'S WORST AUTO DRIVER JUDGE CALLS HIM WASH- INGTON'S WORST AUTO DRIVER The title of "Washington's worst driver" was accorded to Calvin Richardson, 1520 Twelfth Street, Northwest, by Judge McDonald in the District Traffic Court, who at the same time bestowed upon him proof of his right to the title in the form of a three hundred dollar fine and a like number of days in the District jail. His case had been pending for some time, having been continued, eleven times. There had been previous arrests for which he was on probation and for which a fine of $25 and 25 days penalty was hanging over the defendant's head. This was automatically restored by the conviction and will have to be paid and served. Charles Brown, another second offender who resides at 3211 Cherry Hill, Northwest, was handed a $500 fine with the alternative of 180 days in jail as a second offender who is alleged to have carried liquor each time he was caught violating the traffic laws. NEGRO GUARD, WITHOUT GUN, FOILS ESCAPE OF THREE AT CHICAGO JAIL Chicago, August 16.—Courage of Harry Brown, a Negro guard, who pretended he had a pistol in his pocket, prevented the possible escape of three prisoners at the Cook County Jail early today. The trio, one of whom is awaiting execution, had sawed their way out of their cells and overpowered one guard before Brown forced them back into their cells. Daniel McGeohegan, awaiting execution, along with "Midget" Fernekes, and his cell partner, Matthew Stewart, awaiting trial on three charges of robbery, were the first to saw out. A few minutes later Angelo Caggiano, utilizing the two bars sawed by McGeohegan and Stewart and one he sawed himself, managed to crawl out of his cell. Caggiano is awaiting trial for robbery. J. FINLEY WILSON GIVES STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY Gives statement as to his candidacy for re-election as Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks. Washington, D.C., August 16. In a statement issued today by J. Finley Wilson, the Grand Exalted Ruler of the I.B.P.O.E.W., who is candidate to succeed himself, Mr. Wilson had the following to say: "Yes, I am a candidate to succeed myself and my candidacy is based on my record. Never since the Elks have been organized have they bee n in as prosperous a condition as they are today. When I was elected in 1922 we had about 30,000 members and $39,186.58 in the treasury. Today we have more than $100,000 in the treasury, and over 100,000 members. In 1922 we had 225 lodges as against 708 today. "That the fraternity appreciates this work is evidenced by the hearty support that has been extended to me from all parts of the world. Pledges of support have come to me from sources that have heretofore been opposed to me, and these pledges have come without solicitation on my part. My election will be on the first ballot as the personal pledges of more than 800 of the possible 1,000 delegates who will be at the convention will indicate. "As a matter of fact, at no previous Grand Lodge convention have I been in as fortunate a position. There has not been any bitterness nor rancor in the present contest, and unless some develops at Cleveland, it will be the most harmonious convention we have ever held. In a few days the convention will have done its work and immediately after election I shall get busy building up the order by the creation of new lodges, and building up old ones." "I hope within the next year to establish an Elk Shrine that will serve as a national headquarters; continue the drive against ignorance through our department of education "I favor the creation of the Fidelity fund which will give the order money with which to help the lodges buy their homes, and serve as a general financial help to our growing order. As in the past, no place will be too remote for me to go to build up Elkdom." GLEVELAND, O., PREPARED FOR ELK HOST GLEVELAND, O., PREPARED FOR ELK HOST By Louis R Lautier Cleveland, O., Aug., 19.—This city is ready for the entertainment of the Elks Grand Lodge, which shall meet here August 22-28.

Stockton, with the following members of his staff: Andrew J. Springgs, Edward F. Grant, Joseph H. Hawkins, John N. Aden, Charles D. Freeman, J. W. Banks, Al Dotson, William H. Thomas, with the following Past Grand Commanders, H. M. Bailey, S. C. Burritt, John P. Davis, Joseph Minor, Samuel T. Craig, and Charles H. Hale. With these grand officers will go the commanders and staff of each of the four commanderies of the District. Charles A. Nixon eminent commander will be in charge of Simon Commandery No. 1, with Joseph B. Jackson and Robert Covington as subordinate officers. Eminent Commander Louis W.

French and Gordon H. Hawkins as associate officers. Mt. Calvary Commandery will be led by W. B. Gibson, eminent commander, with Thomas Dickson and Nathaniel D. Johnson as next in command. In all, about two hundred swords will be sent on the pilgrimage. The knights who remain at home will constitute the escort that accompanies the others to the station.

Grandmaster Charles P. Ford and his wife will accompany the party. Mr. Ford is an ex-officio member of the Internatoinal Conference of Grandmasters. Drill teams from two of the commanderies are entered in the contest at Boston and it is very probable that one or more prizes will come back to Washington with the Knights Templars. Mecca patrol will not enter any of the contests, but will be content with acting as escort to the Imperial officers of the shrine. St. Louis Special Passes Through A special train from St. Louis, Mo. bearing Medinah Temple, 39, and the Grand Commandery of Knights Templars of Missouri, about two hundred in number, passed through Washington on Friday afternoon. The party stopped over for a few hours to visit points of interest in the city. They will spend Saturday sightseeing at the Sesquicentennial in Philadelphia. Dr. Brazier headed a New Orleans delegation that arrived in Washington on Friday, remaining to accompany the Washington party northward on Saturday. While here, he was the house guest of Charles D. Freeman. 8 PAGES ONE SECTION y Train J. R. BENNETT KILLED AS WIFE LOOKS ON --- New York, N.Y., August 17.—Before the eyes of his horror stricken wife and hundreds of others who crowded the Fourteenth Street subway station last Friday at noon, Joshua R. Bennett, member of the Washington, D.C., bar staggered and fell before the onrushing train and was instantly killed. Two cars passed over his body before the motorman could stop the train. Lawyer Bennett, who has been actively engaged in the practice of law in Washington for the past year, was visiting his family in Brooklyn, N.Y., and had made an engagement to meet his wife in the Fourteenth St., subway station. As she descended the stairway at the appointed time she saw a man stagger and tootter over the brink of the platform and onto the sunken track. An onrushing train enterng the station ran him down. The crowded station was at once in an uproar and many women became hysterical. After fifteen minutes of work the fire department succeeded in raising the train sufficiently to remove the mangled remains of Attorney Bennett. Mr. Bennett had made an enviable record before the courts in Washington as he was rated by both bar and bench as one of the most brilliant lawyers in the profession. He was a graduate of Howard University, and had practiced in Philadelphia and Brooklyn. He was 46 years old and was born in Giddings, Texas. Attorney Bennett is survived by his wife, Mrs. Marechal Nell Bennett, a daughter, Miss Gwendolyn B. Bennett, a teacher at Howard University; two sisters, Mrs. Belle Singer of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. Pearl Thomas of Giddings, Texas; and a nephew, Mr. C. H. Thomas of New York. Miss Bennett returned in June from Paris where she had been for a year as a beneficiary of the scholarship fund of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, being on leave from Howard. Funeral services were held Monday at the Martin Chapel, Brooklyn, N.Y., and the body was cremated, according to the deceased's wishes, at Fresh Pond, Long Island. Mr. Bennett practiced in Washington with offices at 1937 Fourteenth St. His Washington residence was at 1221 T Street, Northwest. Scandal Hinted at The New York Age, an unusually conservative New York weekly newspaper, in the issue of August 21, under a streamer headline and with a double column front page story, questions whether Joshua Bennett met (Continued on page 4) WILL OF DR. ROBT. M'CUIRE FILED PROPERTY IN NAME OF WIFE Robert L. McGuire, who died August 6, leaves his son, Robert B. McGuire, $500 and a private library, according to the will filed in probate court. The remainder of the estate is devised to the widow, Mrs. Julia W. McGuire. It is reported from reliable sources that Dr. McGuire held very little property when he died, as it was his policy to place his holdings in the name of his wife, a practice that he had followed for many years. The only realty that was in his name at the time of his death was his country place of about ten acres at Lanham, Md. Mrs. McGuire is the owner of a residence property at 531 T Street, Northwest, and a property at No. 522 on the same street; also a property at the corner of Fifth and Rhode Island Avenue. She owns the business building occupied by the drug store at the corner of Ninth and U Streets, Northwest. The library bequeathed to his son is a small though well selected collection of books, numbering about a thousand volumes. A number of these are on professional medical and pharmaceutical subjects. Others are on business practice and still others are such as may be found in the study or library of any well informed and cultured person. The bequest to his son is a far richer one than one might at first suppose, for Dr. McGuire had many books that his active life did not grant him the time to read. --- Social Activities of the Catholics (By Francis Spriggs) The Cardinal Gibbons Committee will meet Sunday evening at 5 o'clock at the Church of the Incarnation, Deanwood, D.C.

Mr. Houston postponed his vacation for more than a week in order to close this matter before leaving the city, as his associate trustee is in Europe, and no progress could have been made at all if he had left town earlier. The property was acquired by the New Masonic Hall Corporation organized April 19, 1919. Ground was broken for the building in June, 1922. The cornerstone was laid with Masonic ceremonies during the biennial convention of all of the branches of the Masonic order on August 8, 1922. The New Masonic Hall Corporation was organized with a capital of $50,000 divide! into five thousand shares of ten dollars each, par value. In 1920 the capital stock was increased to $250,000, with two classes Madame Harrison-Astor PSYCHIC PALMIST Licensed by the District of Columbia MAKES AN HONEST PROPOSITION I do hereby solemnly swear to make no charge if I do not faithfully fulfill every word embodied in this statement.

The preferred stock, a nonvoting issue, at $25 per share totalled $125,000 of the authorized issue. A meeting to again increase the capital stock and to authorize a loan to be made on the property was called for March 20, 1925, but the Charles Datcher Lodge, Allen A. C. Griffith and Dr. Elias G. Evans, filed suit on March 17, praying for an accounting, an injunction and a receivership. The defendants named in the petition were Jesse E. Mitchell, president of the corporation and a past grand master of the Grand Lodge; Frank D. McKinney, vice president; Phillip W. Thomas, recording secretary; William H. Cowan, treasurer; Archibald Runner, financial secretary; Paul R. Stewart, John S. George, Benjamin F. Arrington, Mary A. Parker, George L. Sydnor, Ernest M. Dickerson, Marie L. Johnson, Susie R. Quander, Henry Banks, and Geo Ambler, trustees of the New Masonic Hall Corporation. Property Sold by Court Order After making efforts to have the litigants compose their differences on May 18, 1925, Justice Hitz appointed a committee composed of Alexander Wolf, attorney for the plaintiffs, William L. Houston, attorney for the defendants, Charles P. Ford, grandmaster of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge; Jesse H. Mitchell, president of the New Masonic Hall Corporation, and Herbert L. Davis, court auditor, to complete the structure. This committee was unable to secure a loan with which to complete the work of construction because the differences between the opposing factions of Masons could not be reconciled. On January 20, 1926, the committee made a report to this effect to the court, and was discharged. In the report was the recommendation that the property be sold. An order to make such a sale was signed by Justice Hitz on March 2, 1926. Alexander Wolf and William Houston were appointed trustees to conduct the sale. The sale was duly advertised to take place on April 12, and when auctioneer Adam A. Weschler asked for bids, the place was surrounded with interested Masons who for more than a month, under the guidance of Grand Master Charles P. Ford, the late Dr. S. S. Thompson, grand treasurer, and other Grand Lodge officers, had been frantically collecting money with which to preserve the property to the craft. Captain Doyle of the police department was obliged to place officers to prevent traffic obstruction. Dr. W. H. Jackson, a trustee, bidding for the Grand Lodge, had the property knocked down for his bid of $99,000 which topped by a thousand dollars the last bid of Harry Wardman of the Wardman Construction Company. When the bid of Jackson was announced as the final one, he was taken upon the shoulders of his fellow masons and given an ovation. Grand Master Ford was showered with congratulations and presented with flowers until he broke down and wept. A deposit of $2500 was made at the time of the sale; and $3150 was paid into the title company when the title search was completed. This was set for thirty days after the sale, but actually accomplished on July 29, as of the date of July 12, when the title as pronounced O.K. by title company. At the time of the sale there were two liens against the property. One of these was held by the Onandago Litholite Company for $9,500 for stone masonry; and the other by Charles H. Green for $10,300 for brick masonry. Other debts of the corporation included three judgments: one for $275 held by the Second National Bank, and two held by Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, Order of Eastern Star, for a total of $1500. Taxes for 1924 unpaid at the time of the sale amounted $157.56, and for 1925, the sum of $184.04 had been assessed. The sum of $134,094 has so far been expended in the construction of the unfinished building. The site was purchased at public auction in 1919 for the sum of $29.650.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1926 WEST VIRGINIA BANK PRESIDENT INJURED (Courtesy Stanton Tribune) (COURTESY Staunton Tribune) Staunton, Va. Aug. 16—The Hon. T. Gillis Nutter, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia, the president of the Charleston Savings Bank, one of the most substantial Negro banks of the country, and who for three years, 1913-15, was grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of the World, had his arm broken in three places in an auto accident that occurred near Churchville near Staunton, Va. He is confined under treatment in the King's Daughters Hospital at Staunton. He with his wife and chauffeur were riding in a Cadillac when the car skidded and turned completely over crashing into a tree. He was the only one in the party who sustained injuries. The escape of the others was miraculous. The party was en route to Staunton for a day's visit, after which they were going to Atlantic City for a brief stay prior to attending the Elks' convention in Cleveland. Mr. Nutter will miss the latter for the first time in eighteen years. Mr. Nutter is perhaps the best known man in West Virginia, and is regarded as one of our few national characters in the political arena. He represented his district in the state legislature from 1919 to 1923, and has been a speaker in a number of national presidential campaigns. Mrs. Nutter, who remains at his bedside in the Staunton hospital, was Miss Agnes Merriweather, a former teacher at Howard University. WALKER AGENTS' CONVENTION CLOSES Kansas City Proves Royal Host Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 14, 1926.—The tenth annual national convention of Madam C. J. WaMiker Agents just closed in this city after having held the very best meeting in the history of this, the world's largest, organized group of Negro business women. The convention was filled with interesting features for the more than one hundred and fifty delegates that came from twenty-three states. A program of scientific lectures by experts on diseases of the scalp and how to treat them, demonstrations of the latest and best methods of shampooing the scalp, pressing, bobbing, marcelling and dressing the hair, were among the activities that consumed the delegates' working time. These conventions are becoming known for their worth, and men and women of other walks of life, are visiting them more and more, to observe, to learn and to pay tribute to their founder, the late Madam C. J. Cedar Haven On the Patent That new and Finer Summer Subdivision BEND $1.00 TO-DAY Walker. This year Bishops Gregg Brooks and Carey, Dr. Charles Sumner Williams, Dr. Perry, Dibble Mr. Paul Johnson and Hon. A. W. Lloyd, were among the distinguished persons visiting and taking part in the business programs. The convention made a substantial subscription to the mission fund of the A. M. E. Church. Each evening a special program was held for the benefit of the visiting delegates and general public. On Wednesday morning a brakfast was held and a sight-seeing trip made over the city. This event, presented a colorful picture to say the least. The two hundred participants were each arrayed in a smock the color representing the state from which the wearer came. It was decided that the convention hereafter would meet every two years instead of yearly. The next meeting is to be held in 1928 at Indianapolis, Ind.

The referendum is a carefully drawn ballot in which twelve definite questions are asked. If the porters and maids answer in the affirmative the next step of the Brotherhood will be to call for a conference with the Pullman Company. In the event of refusal, an ex parte statement will be filed with the Mediation Board. Some of the questions the porters and maids must answer are: Do you want the payment of a living wage and better working conditions? Do you want pay for preparatory time, terminal time, delays and doubling? Do you want a simplified time sheet? Do you want the plan of Employee Representation of the Pullman Company or the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters? The fourth question asked is causing a great deal of favorable comment among the porters and maids. This question deals with the matter of "back pay."

The Washington delegation in attendance at this year's session of the body makes up in importance what is lacking in numbers. Mr. Harris motored over with Morrisy Kountz as his traveling companion. Perry W. Howard, special assistant U. S. Attorney General is also motoring to the Cleveland meeting. Louis R. Lautier, the staff of the Washington Tribune, who will act as official reporter at the session, left Washington on Monday evening. John H. Green, teller of the Prudential Bank, who had the distribution of transportation orders for the affair from Washington, also left on Tuesday. C. C. Spaulding, president of the National Negro Finance Corporation, a practical business creation of the League with Jesse Thomas, its executive secretary, passed through Washington en route to Cleveland on Monday. They were callers at the Tribune office while in the city. Mr. Spaulding discussed the program that has been determined upon by the executive committee of the League. Five major proposals are set down for guidance of the organization. They are: First — A national organizer to travel, organize local leagues and strengthen leagues already organized. This field worker will be a man conversant with modern business systems and business promotion. His chief function in traveling will not be to be entertained by local leagues but to render service to them in helping them to strengthen and develop their enterprises through increased efficiency and co-operative efforts. The league will pay his salary and expenses. The local leagues visited will not be charged a fee for this organizer's services. Second—The league will undertake to nationalize and popularize National Negro Trade Week through newspaper and magazine articles and will invite the co-operation of national advertisers and some of the established agencies for business development. The league will employ every means possible to "sell" Negro business to the Negro and to America. Third—To maintain an information and exchange bureau which will keep Negro business men of the country informed of business opportunities along their particular lines; maintain sources of information of business problems; name and addresses of trained workers who may be available for positions, and list positions open in Negro establishments. Fourth—To publish a monthly bulletin giving brief but comprehensive reports of the league's activities and the unusual achievements of the race along business lines. Fifth—Within the limits of its resources, the league will seek competent and expert assistance in making a nation wide survey of Negro business enterprises.

The LeDroits again wins a doubeheader in the Union League, keeping pace with the Black Sox, for the leadership of the Union League. In the opener the Myrtle A.C., fell victims to the war clubs of the Tigers by the score of 10 to 6. In the night cap, the Washington Giants was defeated by the score of 10-8. The Giants placed on the field the best team it has been able to muster this season, and if Payne had played his usual game on first, the Giants might have been the victors. The features of the opening game were the stellar fielding of George Smith, Jake Harris and M. Jefferson for the winners; and Percy Plummer and "Teeny" Hansborough for the losers combined with the all-around batting of the Tigers. In the night cap, the stellar fielding of J. Johnson was the feature. Kenner, M. Jefferson and George Smith led at the bat. Home run--M. Jefferson. Three-base hits—R. Barber, Hansborough. Two-base hits—C. Barber.

While the fight was close, it was the consensus of opinions of the 15,000 wild fans that the "Tiger" had clawed himself to another victory. This was the third time Flowers and Greb had met and the third time Flowers walked out the victor. Their first meeting was in Fremont, Ohio, about two years ago. They next met in Madison Square Garden last Spring when Flowers won the championship from Greb. Last night was a return match. As Greb trained harder for this fight than probably for any of his previous ones, and was considered by his manager and trainers to be in the pink of condition, there can be no alibi for his defeat last night, which gives Flowers a clear and undisputed title to the championship. BLACK SOX WINS TWO The Black Sox won both ends of a doubleheader at Union League Park last Sunday. The Sox were never in danger in either contest.

BACHARACHS WIN AND TIE Baltimore, Md.—One of the most interesting double bills of the season was interesting and tied by the Bacharach Giants here Sunday. The first game went 11 innings. The second game was called at the last of the 6th. A homer by Marcel, the Giant hard-hitting third baseman, in the seventh with one on was the deciding factor in winning the first affair.

A group of men have been engaged at work in the bowl since the first of June, leveling and sodding the playing field, terracing and grading the walls of the bowl and constructing sod gutters to take care of the storm water. Cinders have been removed from the Institute power plant to the bowl where a quarter-mile track is under construction. The committee on the regulation of athletics, plans to hold in the bowl next spring the first annual Tuskegee relay games to which invitations will be extended to other institutions to send entries and representatives. Daniel E. Freeman, '17, has designed a new score board. It is larger than the old one with more detailed information. One thousand knock-down bleachers have been ordered and should reach the institute in time to be erected for the opening game. A fence will be erected at the entrance to the bowl and a sufficient number of ticket-selling booths will be established to care for the large crowds. The Montgomery highway which separated the school from the bowl is being paved and the work should be completed by early fall, thus affording the best of road service for motor traffic. The crowning feature this year will be the annual football game with Morehouse College, and the game with Lincoln University, at Franklin Field of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia on October 29. This will be the initial meeting of the Southern and Eastern elevens and the game will be interesting from many points of view. LINCOLN-TUSKEGEE GAME TO BE PLAYED AT FRANK- LIN FIELD Arrangements have been completed for staging the game between Tuskegee and Lincoln at Franklin Field, the home grounds of the University of Pennsylvania. Tentative plans had been made for holding the game at the Stadium of the Sesquientennial, but because of the large expense involved, and the better situation of Franklin Field, it was deemed advisable to make the change. To attend games at the Sesqui stadium it was necessary to pay an entrance fee to the Exposition first, and the additional price of entrance to the game. This will be the first time that any Negro institution has had the use of Franklin Field, and it is felt that because of the many attractions of this well known stadium, and the fact that Negro athletes are given such cordial recognition at the Annual Pennsylvania Relay Games the general public will be more inclined to liberally patronize what is going to be the biggest inter-sectional contest ever staged between colored schools. Coach Young is confronted with the problem of building an entirely new team. At the present time it looks as if Captain Grasby is to be the only regular from last year's team, who will form the squad for 1928. The Coaching Staff this year will consist of U. S. Young; Dr. Ernest Martin and T. R. Wall. LINGOLN AND CUBANS New York City—The Lincoln Giants and Cuban Stars divided a doubleheader here Sunday.

For fair, unbiased and unprejudiced views, Heywood Broun, columnist on the New York World, has presented about the best comment. Some extracts are herewith reproduced. "Some of the fight reporters have told us that it is impossible for Dempsey to fight Wills because the 'men higher up don't want it.' The members of this invisible government have not been identified as yet in print, but it is repugnant to fair dealing that there should be any secret manipulation in the matter of arranging for a big boxing bout. "I don't see how anybody can sincerely question 'he fact that Harry Wills is the most dangerous contender. Certainly his challenge was on record before that of Tunney, and he has a right to hi. chance. The Boxing Commission will forfeit any right to respect if it allows a violation of fair dealing in the matter. . . . " "And yet I am no Dempsey baiter. " "Certainly I do not feel that the champion is a deep-dyed villain in trying to avoid a fight with Wills. Any reasonable minded champion would prefer to meet the less dangerous of two contenders. Dempsey is following the line of logical self-interest, and it should be the function Whitelaw Hotel 13th and T Re-opened Under BURKE and BR Individual & Party Service in DINING ROOM OPEN FROM 4 GRILL ROOM OPEN UNTIL M Let us demonstrate our service to your in Whitelaw—Phone, N. 8456 AUGUST S Now is your chance GARTERS BELTS BELTS NECKWEAR ATHLETIC UNDERWEAR ATHLETIC UNDERWEAR PAJAMAS SOCKS—Lisle SOCKS—Silk Fiber SOCKS—Fancy Silk CAPS CAPS CAPS CAPS SHIRTS SHIRTS—English and American SHIRTS—English Broadcloth Frederick T.

Broun also says: "Some will tell you that he (Dempsey) is the greatest heavyweight the world has ever known. There is no deciding a question like that, but it is my own opinion that either Jack Johnson or Sam Langford would have won from him. Johnson, in particular, was endowed with a patience which is wholly lacking in Dempsey. The Negro heavyweight could wait and pick his time and take no chances. Dempsey is always taking chances. . . "Dempsey just cannot be the greatest heavyweight of all time, because he is far too easy to hit. Granted that he comes in tigerishly against the man who stings him, no human jaw has ever been built which could endure one of the mighty blows of Johnson or Langford. "It is inconceivable that Jack Johnson at his best could have been brushed off his feet by Firpo. Indeed, I doubt whether the Argentine could ever have laid a glove upon Jack. The Negro had a long left and Firpo could never have come past the fist of that extended arm, which thrust with all the exactitude of a sharp sword. Or Jack Johnson could have loafed and shuffled around the ring, deftly catching Firpo's punches and tossing them aside. This champion was the master of many rhythms, and Dempsey is not."

Miller brings to the Howard, Gertrude Saunders late star of "Shuffle Along" and many other Broadway productions supported by Gallie De Gaston, one of the race's leading comedians, Alice Gorgas, Percy Colston, Albert Jackson, Marion Bradford, Wesley Hill, Billy Andrews, Alonzo Fenderson, Snow Fisher, Archie Cross, Angeline Hammond, and sixteen dancing girls and six strutting dandies. It has been many a day since such an array of stars have been assembled in one production. From advance notices Gertrude has never before been cast in such a fitting role. When the sweet, charming Gertie is at her best she is some "Red Hot Mama." On the screen, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Douglass Fairbanks in "Don Q, Son of Zorro." Thursay, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Mrs. Wallace Reid presents Mary Alden and Priscilla Bonner in "Earth Woman." Every Friday, monster midnight show. Every Saturday at 9:30. Many valuable articles are to be given away. "VARIETY" and LON CHANEY at THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the greatest of screen actors, Emil Jannings, assisted by Lya De Putti, will be seen in a German made picture called "Variety." It isn't often that the American critics give praise to a foreign made picture, but in this case they all agree that "Variety" is one of the finest offerings ever seen in this country. The picture deals with the eternal triangle, but in such a way you will be held spellbound; especially when the wronged man is to catch his enemy after he has made triple summersault in mid air, over the heads of hundreds of people. That scene will pull you out of your seats. Wednesday and Thursday, Zane Grey's latest story, "Desert Gold," with Neil Hamilton, Shirley Mason, William Powell and Robert Frazer in the cast. For Friday and Saturday, the offering will be the man of a thousand faces, Lon Chaney. He will appear in a re-issue of the picture that is supposed to have established him as a full fledged star, "The Trap." You will see Chaney as more man and less monster than in his later pictures.

The second tilt was rained out. Alonzo Mitchell, Giants' left-hander, was in superb form, allowing Hildale only three scattered hits, all of which were singles. Red Ryan, on the mound for Hildale was no puzzle to the Atlantic City team. He was found for ten safeties. Cummings and Dallard were the heaviest hitters with a pair of safeties apiece. Cummings' first bingle, a double in the opening inning, and White's triple gave the Giants one run. In the fifth she team made certain of victory with 3 counters on Mitchell's single, a one-bagger by Cummings, Ryan's wild throw and a sacrifice fly by White. The Giants' counter in the ninth was not needed. Bill Gatewood, Bacharach catcher was forced to leave the game in the fourth inning, when a foul from Thomas' bat dislocated one of his fingers.

Last week, they drew a tremendous business and favorable comment at the Swiss Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio. "Bojangles" Bill Robinson and his pretty wife returned to America on the S.S. Leviathan last week, after the nimble dancer had done a ten weeks' feature tour of the Holborn houses in London. He has a Keith-Albee contract for some years' bookings. The Colored State Fair at Columbia, South Carolina, has booked the Brause Greater Carnival Company to play their date. This is the South's biggest colored fair. The Gus Sun, Jack Linder and Bert Levy houses have consolidated their bookings. Henceforth the combined reunit will be able to offer thirty-six weeks of continuous work that will take performers from coast to coast and back. Most of the dates are split-weeks. Herman and Eva Mae Brown are working steadily over the T.O.B.A. reunit. Week of August 9, the act played Columbus, Ohio, going to louisville for the 16. BERT GOLDBERG TO MANAGE MAMIE SMITH Bert Goldberg, who for the past two seasons has been ahead of his brother's "Seven Eleven" company, has just closed a contract with Mamie Smith under the terms of which he will have exclusive control of the record singer and her company for the next three years.

Again the girls, especially resourceful Mabel, demonstrated that they are show"men" in every sense of the word. Alice Fields, director of the orchestra of the theatre had been given notice that her orchestra's engagement would terminate with the current week. Ten minutes before the curtain went up on the Whitman show on Monday afternoon, after the orchestra had rehearsed the show, the band walked out of the house. A new band under Caroline Thornton, former director at the Blue Mouse Theatre had been placed in the audience in anticipation of such a contingency, and Mabel Whitman went into the pit directing the new band that was totally unfamiliar with the music of the show. With a neat little speech made from the orchestra pit, Miss Whitman explained the situation, and with as remarkable ability, she conducted the orchestra through the entire performance. Then came the fastest, most colorful and greatest dancing show the house has presented for some time. The girls believe in action, and present plenty of it during their performance. The costumes were colorful and in good taste, worn over handsome white silk tights. Tiny Princess Wee Wee, Alice Whitman, Eaby Whitman and another juvenile dancer were the high spots, and they had to go to some to be that because the whole show has talent, and there is a good natured rivalry in showing it. The Whitman girls are some girls in the show world. Take it from one who knows that world, and can evaluate it.—I.A.J. PUBLIC STENOGRAPHERS TO THE THEATRICAL PROFESSION Juannita Waller, daughter of John I. Waller, warrant officer in the U.S.A., a product of New York University and Ethel Brown, two enterprising colored girls, have opened a public stenography business in the Gayetty Theatre building, New York City. The girls will specialize in manuscript work, lyrics and theatrical correspondences. This is a field new to our group, albeit colored composers, producers, directors, song writers and bookers for some years provided much work of this character in the Broadway district. The girls have located themselves in the very heart of the world's show shop district. BOOKINGS T.O.B.A. BOOKINGS S. H.

The girls arrived on the S.S. La France of the French Line on August 11. Engagements in Rome oblige their early return. The ladies are at present in New York, but Miss Maitland will be in Washington for a few days visiting her mother. They have been headline features in Belgium, Italy, Egypt, France, Germany and Austria. They were billed as "The Tea for Two Girls." "BLUE MOON" RE HEARSING HERE "BLUE MOON" RE HEARSING HERE "Blue Moon," the third of Irvin Miller, Inc. productions to take the road this season is being assembled and rehearsed in Washington. It is said that the show is to be the largest of the half dozen that Mr. Miller will send on tour for the season of 1926-27. Rehearsals are going on under the direction of the composer who wrote the piece. Donald Heywood, author and co-author of a number of shows, among them being "Dumb Luck," "Creole Follies," "How Come," "North Ain't South" and "Brown Skin Models," and the writer of a number of songs including "Charleston ball," "I never knew," "Alabama blues" and "Mary Ann" the feature number of "How Come," has written a two-act piece of eight scenes and with twenty song numbers for the new show. "Babc" Towsend, the dramatic cast veteran, is stage manager of the show. He is the oldest performer now visiting Washington, having been with the second show that appeared at the Howard Theater when it was first opened. P. B. Savaree, Prince and Princess Mysteria, McClain and Loveless (a Washington married couple), Edna Barr, Marie Myles, Reginald Yorke and James (Buster) Newman are in the cast. A chorus of twenty girls, all recruited in this city, and eight dancing boys gathered here, complete the show that will have its premiere at the Howard Theater on August 6, after which time the show will be taken into New York City, perhaps for a run. STAGE MAIDS ORGANIZING (From Variety) A new union or association is in the preliminary process of formation in New York. It is the Colored Ladies' Dressing Association. This week a call went forth for all who cared to join to meet at the stage entrance of the Globe Theater, August 15. Several of the colored maids, now in waiting upon some of Broadway's musical stars, expect to enlist the support of every colored maid in the show business. Several maids object to the proposed unionization, as they can make more money by working on part time for any number of white stage principals. It joining the proposed association they would have to turn over one or more of their "maid waits" to others. Another thing that is an argument on the other side for the association is that the rules, hylaus and regulations of the "union" would prevent any member from being a combined maid, nurse, secretary and laudress. It is reported that any number of American colored maids are more than "maids" while engaged backstage. They render first aid in cases of sickness. They launder silk stockings and undies. They run errands. Some write letters and also act as bodyguards and stenographers. Apropos of the proposed association, it is known on this side that in England the English "dressing men" who are purely theatrical employees, confining their work backstage only, is such a formidable organization that valets and dressers from this side are up against the association over there when they accompany American stars abroad. THE WATERMELONS The former "Seven-Eleven" Company will be presented this season on the Columbia Burkle circuit under the title of "The Watermelons." The show opens at the Gayetey Theater, Baltimore, with the second week's engagement in Washington. The cast includes Mae Brown, Garland Howard, Speedy Smith, Slim Henderson, Elvira Johnson, Babe Mitchell, Sterling Grant, George Myrick, Slick Chester, Al Young, Horace Fredericks, Bambo McCarver, Bertha Wright, Clarence Robicheaux, Ida Bennett, the Stanley Bennett band of twenty pieces, and a chorus of twenty-four girls. Lou Goldberg, brother of Jack, who is the directing genius of the show will be out ahead. The initial date is August 30. The show is already working a pre-season engagement at the Lincoln Theater, New York, under its old title. 1 JACKSON'S News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, REPUBLI U Street, Near 14th THEATRE Show Starts EVERY DAY AUSTIN J.

Arriving at an exactly proper proportion of work and play is a matter for the scientists or the philosophers to determine. It is beyond a mere scribbler. However, the scribbler believes that, for a group that is so far down the economic scale which generally prevails in our land, we arrogate to ourselves a bit too much of the play-time and somewhat too little of the work period just so soon as we get above the breadline. This is especially true of our organized professionals. True, they may have an abhorrence of work, born of the toil and tribulations of the days when they were acquiring their respective professions; but worthy professional life means continued study. The right to practice a profession as indicated in the diploma and license does not mean that one may cease further effort to learn. The announcement of a national medical convention, white, to be held in Chicago where the program calls for four forenons of clinies, four afternoons of section meetings, and four evenings of general professional programs, all within the four days of the meeting, is contrasted with a similar one held by a national Negro medical convention at Philadelphia where dances, excursions, smokers, and receptions occupy much of the published program. We need not wonder which membership will reap the greater professional benefits. It is, however, a debatable question whether more mediocre persons are attracted than earnest persons are repelled by these recreational diversions. At any rate it is not altogether reassuring that the persons who are responsible for the programs feel that they must yield to the supposed necessity of thus diluting professional advancement with frivolity. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League is sitting in annual session this week in Cleveland. It seems that after many years of gabfest existence, that the organization is getting down to brass tacks. From advance press releases concerning the policies to be considered, it seems that the executives charged with shaping the future of the body, have determined to make the organization function as befits its name. The major factors of the new policy are: to have a worker, a man conversant with modern business practices whose chief function will be to travel, NOT TO BE ENTERTAINED BY LOCAL LEAGUES but to help them; to nationalize Negro Trade week and sell Negro business to the Negroes of the country; to maintain an information exchange bureau and to survey with experts the Negro business of the country. This program cannot fail to appeal to the real business interests of the race, not the least of which is the publishing industry. It must, however, be based upon the foundation of substantial and sincere interest on the part of those actually engaged in trade and commerce. The day of impractical organizations in the business field dominated by a large membership of social workers, political opportunists, tourists simply enjoying vacations, women seeking matrimonial prospects and men indulging in a summertime frolic. has passed. An organization of sufficient strength to meet present day requirements must be of substantial composition in order to attract a membership worth having; not a two-dollar thing with the added lure of a gaudy badge for those who register without regard to whether they have any business interests. Let membership be based upon business itself. Let is be granted to established firms, corporations or institutions recognized by the government as businesses making reports to one or the other of its many bureaus that take cognizance of business. Ask those businesses to pay a price for membership that is somewhere near PAGE EIGHT BILISHING COMPANY, Incorporated Phone, Potomac 1667 July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at the Act of March 8, 1879 President Managing Editor Associate Editor Circulation Manager Six Months, $1.25.

No progressive business man or woman—and the other type would not be desirable—would hesitate to pay, and pay handsomely for its mem- ship. Whenever the certificate of membership in the National Negro Business League becomes a mark of distinction rather than the baule of the "jiner," the league will begin to approximate the meaning to us that the many other commercial organizations of the land have for the general business of the nation. Men like C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and J. C. Ransom of the Mme. Walker Company, seem to be fully awake to these matters. We sincerely trust that the announced policy will prevail. A virile body that will command the respect of the business men of the race is almost certain to follow. SAVING THE RACE According to a statement from the U. S. Department of Commerce, the infant mortality rate among Negroes is entirely too high. The compilation was made under the supervision of a colored special agent and therefore may be depended upon to be free from any malicious bins or prejudiced interpretation of the constituent factors. With even this sympathetic treatment, the facts disclosed are damning to either the Negro, the communities in which they live or to the inaccuracy of the information upon which the report is based. We incline to accepting all three as each having some part of the blame. First we grant a woeful lack of intelligent interest on the part of our people in the pre-natal conditions that affect motherhood. It must likewise be conceded that ignorance on the part of our youths makes "damaged goods" of many of them before they assume the responsibilities of married life. The nation, the state and the minor community governments, with the great American prejudice that dominates these, are the principal culprits when this subject is brought before the bar. The Negro's place in the economic scheme of the land places even our unborn at a disadvantage. In those places where the race is found in largest numbers, it is pretty generally found that the wage scale for labor is less for them than for white people performing a like service. The types of jobs open to the Negro, in many instances, have to do with street cleaning, stable or other alley work, service as porters and janitors and similar occupations that oblige them to endure contact with more than the average percentage of the filth of the land. The high percentage of our people employed in personal service jobs that require of them that they be the first at work and the last to leave; the evil of the rural community practice of compelling Negroes to work from "skin till kant"—as a field hand once expressed the working from the hour in the morning when one can see daylight until one may no longer see to work at nightfall, and the need for many fathers and mothers to do odd jobs at night after performing a regular day's service, all contribute to a less virile motherhood and fatherhood. The working mother is another observable factor. The enforced neglect of herself in the matter of sufficient rest during the parturient period, the early return to work after the birth of an infant with the consequent neglect of the offspring; the alley homes, the shacks in the woods, the labor camp homes, the denial of ordinary sanitary service along streets occupied by Negroes in many southern communities, and some Northern towns as well, all are handicaps. To these handicaps are added the denial of adequate hospitalization in almost every town in the country. Few communities tender to the Negro facilities that are proportionate to the Negro population. What service is granted is tendered in a fashion that discourages effort to obtain attention. Medical officers charged with reporting births, too often disregard the expected routine when a Negro birth is to be recorded. However, this same negligent officer when he observes the possibility of death, out of motives of self-protection, hastens to file the record. This provides an unbalanced MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams TYPIFYING THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE IN WHICH WE LIVE Not long since "Squire" Murray of the Tribune Staff was kind enough to lend us a copy of The American Mercury magazine, calling our attention to an article on "The Anatomy of Jazz" by Henry Osborne Osgood. "Come on, boys! Give it a lick! What do you think you are—a symphony orchestra or something?" runs the introduction in a fanfare on Paul Whiteman, in sweater and felt hat, throned in an old wooden chair, cornerwise upon a prop platform from Arms and the Arm, facing thirty-odd players, a motley crowd whose temperaments and temperatures ranged from sport shirts with neither coats nor socks over them through conventional white shirt-sleeves to business suits, sweaters and even overcoats. It was a rehearsal of that first operatic experiment in jazz, George Gershwin's one-act sketch, "One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street." Glimpsing back down through the years the writer, Osgood, soliloquizes in writing thus: "I imagined to myself the surprise and, I am sure, the joy that even so recent a master of orchestration as Rimsky-Karsaoff, who died less than fourteen years ago, would have experienced could he have dropped in and taken a seat beside me." A New Thing "Fifteen years ago it was not dreamed of; ten years ago it was an infant; only two years ago it was brought to its present state of development, and it will keep on changing and growing." That's the story of the rise of "jazz" in this newer era of aeroplanes, radios, and other wonders of the world, typifying the spirit of the age in which we live. As we run, read what others are saying. Elizabeth E. Poe, of the Post, in her music column last Sunday wrote this: "The controversy over the proper place of jazz in the musical scheme will be resumed with renewed vigor when the fall season opens. Now that jazz compositions are finding their way into the programs of even the most staid organizations it can no longer be ignored. Jazz is an expression of the moment, musically speaking. Whether it will live is quite another story." In the August issue of The Etude, the editor says: "With great ingenuity, Whiteman, Gershwin, Lopez, Lange, and others modified and beautified the jazz orchestra until the results were often surprisingly interesting. Thus we believe that jazz, like new wine, is purifying itself. That it will unquestionably have a bearing upon American music of the future is generally conceded. Like the voice of an epoch it will appear in its proper way and in its proper place and at the proper time." At Her Funeral Marguerite d'Alvarez, contralto of the Chicago Opera Company, who is appearing on classic concert stages all the way across Europe from London to Budapest, is carrying on what many will call a patriotic crusade in favor of syncopated melody. Her programs invariably include at least one group of tantalizing jazz compositions. Mme. d'Alvarez considers this work of sublimated jazz, one of the greatest musical efforts that has yet come out of America. She remarked recently, following a debate with a reformer, "I hope that when I die they will play Gershwin's rhapsody in blue at my funeral." Herman Heller, director of Warner's Theater, New York, recently had on his programme an interesting pot-pourri, arranged by himself, called "Milestones to Jazz." It began with one of the spirituals, since it is Mr. Heller's theory that modern jazz is only a development over the years of some of those old tunes; then came a soft-shoe dance, a cake-walk, the Texas Tommy, the one-step, the foxtrot and the Charleston. That genealogical tree may be correct but we doubt it. We don't believe a word of it—that jazz is an evolution from spirituals. A Genuine Art Osgood concludes his article with this: "Jazz orchestration as it thus appears, has become a genuine art." Virtuosity of the players in a modern jazz orchestra is the magic wand. They possess a technique that is not expected of their fellows in a first-class symphony orchestra because it is never called for. In spite of all this, all Europe declares war on American jazz orchestras; the German musical press calls all jazz supporters "bolshevists of music"; Austria has formed a society for the suppression of "barnyard melody"; the Italian musical congress has urged the government to add jazz to those foreign products which Italy is trying to dispense with in the interest of economy. Now take your choice. state of affairs when the totals are compiled. Nevertheless, it is our problem. Whatever the reason for the infant mortality may be, self-preservation demands that we give it careful consideration, if the race would maintain its ratio to the whole population. Our medical and educational organizations would do well to devote considerable time to the study of the problem and to the organizing of means to reduce the appalling figures set forth by the government.

If you want to start a collection, send him your name. Help him organize a large collector's club. If you need advice, it's yours for the asking. Your editor suggests that you write a letter to Wilkerson and join this club. Stamp collecting is fine fun especially during the winter months. Note the following two paragraphs and you will observe that stamp collecting is profitable. One of the rarest stamps in existence was found by a French boy who was looking through old letters in his attic on a rainy day. It was a fine copy of the Mauritius twopenny stamp of 1847 and brought him $3,000 from a dealer. There are many valuable United States stamps. One found recently in Virginia valued at $10,000. Stamp collecting began in England in 1840. At first the hobby was much ridiculed, but today it has become so popular that there are more than 800 periodicals devoted to it. The King of England has one of the finest stamp collections in the world. There will be an international stamp show at Grand Central Palace in New York this October. CLIFFORD IS A WINNER Dear Tribunites: This is just to let you know how glad I am after win- ning a bathing suit and a mouth organ as prizes in the Masonic Field Day, tournament held at American League Park last Saturday. I live at 3027 Sherman Avenue, Northwest. CLIFFORD BROWN (12) A RIDDLE By Hazel Hawkins (12)) What are the three laziest letters in the alphabet? They are b-d-e, because they are always in bed. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.
