National Benefit May Buy Standard Life FINAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN IN ATLANTA MONDAY TO DETERMINE SALABILITY Negro Balks Would-be Hold-up Men Girl Attempts Suicide In Drug Store Natic FINAL ACTION IN ATLANTA DETERMINE So far as the owners of the Standard Life of Tennessee and Arkansas are concerned they are ready to pass title to the National Benefit. The deal now awaits the decision of the Superior Court of Georgia as to the validity of the title. This question arises because of suit filed by a group of minority stockholders in the Georgia courts short-time after the sale of the Standard Life to the Southern Life of Tennessee. --- FIRST in Advertising and Circulation If present negotiations are successfully completed, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company will purchase and absorb the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta and Nashville, and the Mississippi Life Insurance Company. When consummated, this deal will return to Negro ownership, two companies that were at one time thought lost for all time. Negotiations which began several weeks ago are being concluded in Atlanta this week between Mr. R. H. Rutherford, president of the National Benefit, and his assistants and officials of the original Standard Life, the Tennessee purchasers of the Standard and the Mississippi, and the Arkansas purchasers of the standard. Mr. S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager of the National Benefit at his office here titated to a Tribute reporter that he was hopeful that the deal would go through. In this suit the claim was set up through Heman E. Perry and other officials, the sale was fraudulently made and therefore little never passed to the Tennessee group. It is this point that the courts will pass on Monday. It is understood that the white owners are willing to sell but are insisting on cash for their interest. If the National Benefit Company is successful in making the purchase, it will in all probability be the largest cash transaction ever made by a Negro concern. With Mr. R. H. Rutherford in Atlanta are John R. Pinkett, agency director and head of the ordinary department, and F. Smith, assistant secretary and office manager, both of the local office of the National Benefit, Miles B. Dodson & Sons, actuaries of New York, and the Insurance Commissioner of the District of Columbia. The Standard Life has had a somewhat stormy career since its first sale to the Southern Life Insurance Company of Nashville, by Heman E. Perry in January, 1925. At that time the reported price paid for the Standard was $175,000, most of which had been advanced by the Southeastern Securities Company, of Atlanta in the form of loans. In December, 1923, the Standard Life Insurance Company purchased the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, but, after only three months' ownership, this company was sold to the Southern Life of Nashville. The Mississippi Life was reported at that time to have been purchased by the Standard for a price said to be $125,000. The resale price to the Southern was not announced. In September, 1925, an announcement was sent out from St. Louis, Mo., that the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation had purchased the Standard Life from the Southern. But for some unknown reason this deal was never consummated. Later, the Stanard Life was sold to a group of whites who organized a company in Arkansas. It is from these owners that the National Benefit must make its purchase. However, the Mississippi Life must be purchased from the Southern. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is said to be the largest insurance company owned and operated by Negroes. Mr. S. W. Rutherford said his company is operating in 26 states and it has the largest number of employees, the largest premium income, which is estimated at three million dollars, and has the largest amount of insurance in force, estimated at fifty million dollars. The National Benefit was organized here in 1898 as the National Benefit Association. In 1918 the name was changed to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. Dr. William K. Scott was its first president. For the past 23 years, Mr. S. W. Rutherford has been its secretary and general manager. His son, Mr. R. H. Rutherford is now president.

Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY SCURLOCK PHOTO H. U. DEANS HOLD MEETING; LAY CORNERSTONE OF NEW MEDICAL BUILDING IN JUNE At the meeting of the deans of the various schools of Howard University, known as the Committee on Public Functions, last Wednesday held at the university, it was decided to hold the inauguration of the president, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, in connection with the exercises on commencement day in June. The committee also decided to hold the ceremonies incident to the laying of the corner stone of the new medical building on the morning of commencement day. The new medical building is progressing rapidly in construction. The work on the steel girders has been completed and the concrete work is almost finished. Laying of the brick will be the next move.

The medical endowment committee is very anxious to be able to announce at the time of the laying of the corner stone in June that the endowment fund has been entirely raised. The quota is $250,000, of which $95,000 must yet be raised. The committee is sending out urging appeals to all the pledgees to pay their subscriptions in order to make the laying of the corner stone a memorable occasion. HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER CAUGHT BY POLICEMAN Charles Edward Minor. 36, a driver for the Merchant's Transfer and Storage Company, was arrested early Thursday in connection with the running down of Miss Catherine Hill (white) at Fifth and D streets, northwest. Miss Hill with a number of girl companions, was crossing the street when the truck driven by Minor swerved into the group. Miraculous as it may seem all four wheels missed the young woman and she was thus saved from death. One of her companions took the license number of the truck as the colored man sped away, and Minor was later apprehended. SEEK TO RAISE FUNDS TO COMPLETE CHARITY OPPORTUNITIES The Second District Conference of the Associated Charities of the District of Columbia is giving a charity concert in an effort to raise funds for the remaining money necessary to complete the three colored opportunities offered during the Christmas holidays. Response this year to these opportunities, all of which are needy cases, have not been so generous as heretofore. None of the three colored cases have been completed. Of the balance still needed by the Associated Charities, over three-fourths of the amount is needed for the three colored opportunities. An effort is being made to raise as much of the amount needed among colored peo, as possible. The Howard University Glee Club, under the direction of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, will be presented as part of the charity concert program, which will be given at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Friday, January 28. Dr. T. Edward Jones is chairman of the volunteer committee. SCHOOL BOARD APPOINTMENTS INVESTIGATED A sub-committee of the House District Committee met Tuesday night, at 8 o'clock, in the House building, to discuss and determine whether there is any secrecy on the part of the judges of the Supreme Court in the dismissal and appointment of members of the District Board of Education. Seven witnesses, one of whom was Captain Peyser, formerly a member of the Board of Education, and the others, comprising members of various citizens committees and parent-teacher associations, were called to testify before the committee. It was brought out in the testimony that the present method of appointing members of the school board was unsatisfactory, and that the present personnel of the board was equally unsatisfactory. It was charged that; instead of the members of the school board (Continued on page 2) TAXI DRIVER ASSISTS I Y. W. C. A. WORK By preventing, rather than waiting until rescue work was needed, a taxi driver recently showed how fully one may co operate with the work of the Y. W. C. A. Recently, there came to Washington a very young girl seeking a relative. Having lost the address, she was making inquiry at the Union Station, as to how she might locate the relative. A man to whom she appealed for advice offered to take her where she could "get a job"; but a taxi driver overheard the conversation and feared that it was not to the girl's better interest to accept the offer. He volunteered to take her to the Y. W. C. A., where she could get whatever aid she needed and have a safe place to stay while looking for her relative. M. M.

Malone was continued when called up before Judge Hartman here Thursday. It is rumored that a settlement may be effected. ST. LOUIS, Mo. January 20—Culmination of numerous rumors that Mr. and Mrs. Malone were estranged and on the verge of divorce has come in the filing of a suit for divorce by Aaron E. Malone against Mrs. ANNIE M. POPE MALONE his wife, Mrs. Annie M. Pope- Turnbo Malone, founder of Poro College, in the court of domestic relations. Thursday, January 13. On the same day, Mr. Malone filed a petition placing Poro College in the hands of receivers. AARON E. MALONE In his petition for divorce, according to the St. Louis Argus, Mr. Malone states that he was married to Mrs. Malone, April 28, 1914, and that they separated February, 1925. That is, it was about that time that Mrs. Malone had his clothing and effects removed from his apartment, and had the locks changed on the door to make sure that he could not get in. In the meantime, it is cited, the locks on the library were also changed, all to his great humiliation and embarrassment. The plaintiff also states that Mrs. Malone was possessed of a violent, ungovernable temper, was quarrelsome, cold, and indifferent toward him, and would not speak to him at times in Orphans' Home Board meetings. She has not snooken to him at all since May, 1926. She has hired, or caused detectives to (Continued on page 2) --- Hold-up Drug MALONE SUED BY HUSBAND; NT RUMORED INFORMATION BY GIRL PREVENTS HOLD-UP Acting on information furnished by Miss Marjorie Collins, 17, Charles H. Watkins, proprietor of the Olympia Cleaning establishment 1907 Twelfth street, northwest, entered the Sanitary Grocery Store at the corner of Twelfth and T streets, Wednesday night and frustrated an attempted hold up of the manager and his young assistant by four white bandits. Young Collins who resides at 1005 Twelfth street had just left Mr. Watkins tailor shop where she had been sent to obtain change for a five-dollar bill. The proprietor of the place gave her five one-dollar bills but was unable to give her any silver. It was for the purpose of having one of the bills changed to coin that the young lady started for the Sanitary store on the corner. Leaving the tailor shop, Miss Collins noticed four suspicious-looking characters standing in a group close to the Sanitary window. When two of the men went into the store the young lady turned and retraced her steps to the tailor shop. Watkins Warns Clerks After hearing what she had to say, Mr. Watkins went to the corner store and calmly walked past the men and into the back of the store. He told the manager what he suspected and of the two men who were standing outside. One of the bandits evidently suspecting that their plans had been discovered left the store telling the manager he was going to come right back. "My wife is in the car outside and I shall see if she wants anything else," he said. Up until this time the man had ordered a pound of coffee and a half pound of butter while the other looked on. No sooner had the door closed behind him that Mr. Watkins ran to the door and closed it on the remaining bandit. "He lies," he shouted, "there is no car outside, these fellows intend to rob you!" Finding himself trapped the young conspirator was converted into a mass of frenzy. He jumped at the throat of the colored man who immediately began grappling, with his assailant. Noticing that the Sanitary manager nor his assistant intended helping to overpower the youthful bandit, Mr. Watkins only fought half-heartedly to guard against the white man's use of a weapon. The bandit taking advantage of the failure of either clerks coming to the colored man's assistant broke himself free and escaped down Twelfth street and out S street. Policemen Arrive Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Gaskins, of 1201 T Street, on their way to the Lincoln Theatre saw the confusion, and Mrs. Gaskins on reaching U street, told two policemen. When the officers arrived there was no trace of a hold-up man to be found. One of the fugitives ran directly past the Tribune reporter who asked him his name and address, but the gentleman was probably in a hurry as he refused to answer. PROMINENT MD. BUSINESS MAN DEAD. J. E. Love, an old and respected citizen and business man of Charles County, Maryland, died last Saturday, January 15. Mr. Love was prominent in business and politics of his county and state. At the age of 21, he opened a store on the road between Hughesville and Benedict, which he operated until his death. He was a regular worker in the Republican party.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS LIFE Men Store BROUGHT POISON WITH HER; WAS IN DESPONDENCY Mrs. Mabel Payne, 23, 1518 12th street, northwest, attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a solution of bichloride mercury in the drug store of Dr. Oliver L. Humble, 1601 11th street, northwest, Sunday morning, January 16, about 11:30 o'clock. She was taken to Emergency Hospital where she was given treatment. She is reported to be improving with a chance to recover. According to Dr. Humble, Mrs. Payne walked into the drug store to use the telephone. After emerging from the phone booth, she asked for a drink of water, which was given her by the pharmacist. She then complained of nervousness, and asked Dr. Humble to fix her some medicine to quiet her nerves. The doctor went into the rear of the store to comply with Mrs. Payne's request. When he returned, she refused to take the medicine. After crying a while she drank the water into which she had dropped bichloride of mercury tablets. When the doctor, not knowing she swallowed poison, insisted upon her taking the medicine he had prepared for her nerves, Mrs. Payne said, "the medicine you have there will do me no good now, doctor. It's all over. I won't be worried any more. Peace—I'll have now." She attempted then to leave the store, but Dr. Humble stopped her, and she fell to the floor unconscious. The doctor administered an antidote of egg and milk before the ambulance arrived from the Emergency Hospital. It was learned that, about two months ago, after the death of Dr. Humble's wife, he had advertised in the Washington Tribune for a housekeeper. Mrs. Payne was one of the number who answered the advertisement. In her letter to Dr. Humble, she stated that she was a widow with a son 9 years old, and that though she was very young, she was setted. Soon after she had been removed from the drug store to the hospital, a young man came into the store and stated that he was her husband, but that they were not living together. Just what the immediate cause of Mrs. Payne's attempted suicide was, has not been definitely determined. RED CAB DRIVER HELPS TO CATCH WHITE BANDITS A Red Cab Taxi driven by Benjamin Parrott, 2277 Eighth street, northwest, was instrumental in the capture Thursday morning of two of four bandits believed to be the same, who have terrorized Washington storekeepers during the last few weeks. The robbers after having held up A. C. Luber, white, at Thirteenth and Columbia road, fled East in their automobile to Eleventh street. Turning South into Eleventh street the speeding car collided with the Red Cab driven by Parrott. Two of the men escaped while the remaining pair had to be dragged from the wreckage by detectives who arrived in response to Luber's screams. The two injured men are being held under guard at the Gallinger Hospital, where doctors hold little hope for their recovery. Police after interviewing the alleged fugitives made several arrests one of which resulted in the captive's confession to having taken part in numerous hold-ups. Parrot after receiving treatment for a slight back injury went to his home. TWO TRIBUNE'S EDITORIAL PRAISED Editor of the Tribune: I have read with great interest and much concern two articles appearing in your issue of Friday, January 14, under the caption "The Case of Mr. Guy" on page 8, and "Qualifications of Perry may be investigated by Board of Education" on page 1. The article entitled, "The Case of Mr. Guy" aside from being an article of splendid literary worth expresses most forcefully and logically what many of our citizens are thinking, just now. In an out-of-town paper, the Afro-American, I have read Dr. Ballon's letter setting forth his reasons for transferring Mr. Guy from teacher of oral expression and dramatics to teacher of ungraded and incorrigible boys at the Summer-Magrurd School, and also Mr. Guy's resignation, giving his reasons for resigning from the system he has served faithfully and well for twenty-six years. I can but say that the reasons given by Dr. Ballou appear to me almost pearile, and I thoroughly agree with your editorial that such drastic action on the part of the Superintendent of Schools savors more of a white man with the power punishing a colored one in his power for being "insolent, importent and sassy" than it does of a superintendent who has, or should have the good of the schools at heart treating with common justice and equity the case of a teacher whose record is excellent and whose work has been a unique contribution to our children and our schools. Many of our citizens have been looking forward to this school year for another carnival or something similar to it. Instead we are confronted with the disquieting news that the man who thought that tremendous project through and directed it has been removed from the work for some insignificant cause that should never have gotten to the Superintendent at all; in fact, it should not even have gone beyond Mr. Guy's immediate superior officer, Mr. L. L. Perry. That statement brings us to the very crux of the whole thing. If Mr. Perry's academic equipment had been broader than that furnished him by a high school education, and his professional preparation beyond the work of the Normal School of twenty years back, Mr. Guy would now be preparing for the public a carnival or some other dramatic work that would be of equal or greater credit to the schools than that of last year. Had Mr. Perry been a real educator, he would not only have supported this man, whom he knows to be the outstanding dramatic figure of our group in this district, but would have been grateful for the acclaims brought to his department, would have offered every encouragement and aid in planning for an even greater triumph this year. Instead he has evidently hindered, and used the full force of his "superior" officership to browbeat out of the service a man who was a credit to it. I agree with you too, when you say, "There are two or three phases of this high-handed exercise of power, or abuse of power, which all public spirited citizens should examine with the most painstaking care, because they are matters of public concern and interest"; for it appears to me that Mr. Perry's appointment as supervisor over the heads of men and women better equipped through experience and education—academic and professional—is a matter of very grave concern. Had we, as citizens interested in the welfare of the schools and anxious that our children should receive the best instruction that the talent and training of our group could produce as teachers, made it our "concern" two and a-half years ago. Mr. Perry would still be at Blue Plains or some other place for which he would evidently be better fitted than he is for the one he now occupies as supervisor of activities for which he has not taken a single course. I believe, Mr. Editor, that all the facts in the case of Mr. Guy should be known, and if it is possible for you to give them; I am sure the public would appreciate it. Very truly yours, F. S. PHILLIPS 1800 T street, n.w. NATIONAL COMMITTEE WOMEN ATTEND SESSIONS HERE (Continued from page 1) with a luncheon at the Hotel Carlton, January 13th. Problems affecting the Republican party were discussed and plans for the next national convention were mapped out. In addition to the speeches by Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Booze, Miss Nannie H. Burrougrs, president of the National League of Republican Colored Women, also spoke. Problems affecting the Negro voters and the race were discussed by all of these women. A state dinner was given in honor of the National Committeewomen at the Willard Hotel, Thursday evening. At this dinner, Miss Burroughs, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Booze were given prominent places at the table. The women were addressed by several cabinet officers and prominent leaders of the Republican party. No Discrimination Although white women from every southern state were present, not the slightest discourtesy was shown the colored women attending. They were given every right and privilege that their position called for. Although the week before two bishops of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Methodist churches were refused service at the Willard, absolutely no effort or attempt was made to har or circumscript the colored women attending this dinner. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Booze both left the city for New York City Saturday. Mrs. Williams, on her return trip to her home, stopped over here for a few days this week. MRS. ANNIE MALONE SUED FOR DIVORCE BY HUSBAND MRS. ANNIE MALONE SUED FOR DIVORCE BY HUSBAND (Continued from page 1) shadow him, greatly to his embarrassment. The receivership case is scheduled to come up in the circuit court today. Mr. Malone has asked that the affairs of Poro College be wound up and that the assets be divided equally between Mrs. Malone and himself. By order of the court, Mrs. Malone is restrained from disposing of any of the assets or business property until the case can be settled in the courts. While there have been numerous reports of the estrangement of the heads of Poro College for quite a while, everything, because of the prominence of the parties, was kept at a whisper, until "The Standard News," a St. Louis weekly paper, published what was called "the inside story" of the affair. In this suit for divorce, while not specifically mentioned, there are intimations that some interesting reading matter will be furnished the public before the case is over. Deception, hypocrisy, intrigue, and even cruelty is in the wake.

JOHNSON ASKED TO RESIGN FROM SCHOOL BOARD The resignation of Dr. J. Hayden Johnson was urged Saturday by the Public School Association of the District of Columbia, along with that of two other members of the Board of Education, because it is alleged that Dr. Johnson had been instrumental in the appointment of his relatives to positions in the public school system while he is a member of the board. No action was taken on the proposal, but the matter was referred to the next meeting. The committee cited the instance where Miss Henrietta Johnson, sister of Dr. Johnson, was given the post of general secretary in the Community Center department. Dr. Johnson stated that he was not implicated in any manner whatever with his sister securing the position in the Community Center department. Miss Johnson was associated with the Harrison Health School before she entered the new position, and he did not know until afterwards that she had been transferred.

POETRY CONTEST A recent poetry contest that was conducted by the United Daughters of the Confederacy was won by a North Carolina Negro, George Leonard Allen. The sonnet "To Melody" was chosen the best in a number of offerings which came mostly from individuals of the white race. The white judges and sponsors, unaware of the fact that Mr. Allen is a Negro, selected his piece in view of its merits, thus it is certain that the award was made from an unbiased opinion. Mr. Allen is a teacher at Kendall Institute, Sumpter, North Carolina. HAMPTON INSTITUTE WILL HOLD BUILDERS' CONFERENCE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.

MARKET CELEBRATED DEALER IS DEAD The week of February 7-12 has been designated by The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History as "Negro History Week" in the public schools of the District of Columbia. The general committee has suggested that each school building make its own plans for the exercises for that week. However, certain suggestive topics have been prepared for the guidance of the observance. The suggestions are: Monday, February 8—Introduction of the subject, making the general purpose of the celebration ideals o. character and citizenship, clear to the pupils. Tuesday—The Negro's part in the making of the nation. Wednesday—The Negro's contribution to the material prosperity of the nation. Thursday—The Negro's contribution to art and letters. Friday—Our present duty in idials of character and citizenship. In a bulletin issued by the association, it is stated that the week will not be so much a Negro History Week as it will be a History Week. "We should emphaze no Negro history, but the Negro is history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nation but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice. There should be no indulgence in undue eulogy of the Negro. The case of the Negro is well taken care of when it is shown how he has influenced the development of civilization," says the bulletin. Negro History Week is annually observed everywhere in the United States. The celebration in the public schools of Washington will be the second time of its observance. It is expected that this year will mark a definite progress in the work of the association. The celebration last year was a decided success. BARRY FARMS BARRY FARMS The death of Mrs. Annie I. B.

Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and graduate of Princeton University; and by the late Dr. George W. Moore, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, and graduate of Oberlin College. The Ministers' Alliance has continued in active service from the date of its organization until the present, and has had an active part in helping to bring to pass numerous measures for the religious, educational and material uplift of our group in this city. Addresses will be delivered at the installation services by Rev. C. C. Williams, D.D., pastor of Union Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, and Rev. Dr. James C. Olden, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. The choir of Shiloh Baptist church will have charge of the musical program, and numerous other members of the alliance will make brief addresses. Mrs. C. L. Russell will deliver the greeting to the ministers' wives. At the close of the musical and literary program, a collation will be served to the ministers, their wives and the public, at fifty cents a plate. The newly elected officers are: Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D.D., president; Rev. J. C. Olden, D.D., vicepresident; Rev. R. A. Fairley, D.D., secretary; Rev. J. H. Tucker, D.D., assistant secretary, and Rev. D. E. Wiseman, D.D., treasurer. Y. W. C. A. ELECTS NEW MEMBERS TO BOARD OF GOVERNORS Y. W. C. A. ELECTS NEW MEMBERS TO BOARD OF GOVERNORS The Y.W.C.A. held its annual election of members of the board of directors Monday night, January 17, in the parlor of the "Y." All of the former directors were re-elected. They were Mrs. Frances Boyce, Mrs. Kelly Miller, Miss Marion P. Shadd, Miss E. F. G. Merritt, Mrs. A. E. Cromwell, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, and Mrs. J. W. Hamilton. Aside from the business of election of the directors, a program was given, depicting the dress styles of the various periods in the progress of the Y. W. C. A. The styles of 1905, 1910, and 1927 were shown. The membership group illustrated the styles of 1905. The Girls' Reserve showed the fashions of 1910, and gave in addition their code, purpose, and prayer, and demonstrated the work they have been doing. The industrial group gave demonstrations of the different employments they represented. This was followed by a fencing contest sponsored by the members of the athletic group. The Young Women's Orchestra rendered the music. Mrs. Boyce presided over the meeting, Mrs. Kelly Miller was in charge of the devotions, and Mrs. Frazier Goins was the accompanist throughout the evening. Mrs. Goins is chairman of the educational committee. CAPTAIN NAPOLEON B. MARSHALL AND WIFE VISIT IN WASHINGTON Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, attached to the American Legation in Haiti, has been a visitor in Washington since Sunday, January 16. He and his wife are stopping at the Washington Conservatory of Music, Ninth and T streets, northwest. Captain Marshall refused to talk on any questions relating to Haiti, because of his connection with the legation to that country. During the World War, he was a captain in the 369th regiment from New York, with which he saw action on the front. He was injured in service, and today wears a steel spine brace which will be necessary the rest of his life. Why Our Death Rate is High By Charles A. Allen, 1525 5th St., N.W. Our people as a general rule look upon a physician as a person to be kept away from—by all means—as long as possible. Often they approach me with "Doctor I have done everything I know of to keep coming to see you." They do not know that a physician prefers to be a guide, a counselor, a watchman, an inspector. He knows his limitations. By his years of training in school, and his hospital experience he is able to diagnose early many diseases before they openly declare themselves—before the patient is incapacitated. But he also knows that after these splendid human machines are allowed by their owners to become wrecks, there is very little real good that he can do. The ignorant attitude of our people to their wonderful intricate bodies, and their mistaken idea of the powers and duties of physicians, are in my judgment the prime cause of the high mortality. Next in importance is the fact that we do not get proper and adequate care when we are sick. In the majority of cases, sick people are treated for varying periods of time by themselves, their families, the neighbors, the druggist, etc. In fact, everybody thinks they can treat the sick. It would be amusing, if it weren't tragic, to hear the experiences of some of these sufferers. The truth is, when health and life are at stake, as they are in most cases of sickness, it is foolish to place yourself under the care of a housekeeper, a lawyer, a druggist or anyone who has not had the years of medical training necessary to understand the complex mechanism we call the human body. The saying, "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread," comes to my mind many a time during a busy day.

I examined them just in time before they died. They died, not from pneumonia, but from lack of medical attention. The importance of making a correct diagnosis and checking up on the various organs of the body seem unnecessary to most people. They do not see the importance of a complete physical examination; an X-ray exam; the exam, of the fluids of the body, etc. Very few are willing to spend the time, and the money required for the necessary procedures, yet the doctor is supposed to answer every question about every organ after he has talked with the patient a "I Cried and C Hair Before I "My hair was so short and curly that it made my life miserable," a charming Chicago society girl says.

To treat a case intelligently it is necessary to know the condition of the whole body and not only a single part. It would be a useful education to the public, if at certain periods they were allowed to visit the hospitals—I do not mean the present visiting hours—and see the completeness of the examinations, the nursing care, and the system and order necessary to diagnose and treat a sick patient.

The importance of good nursing must be recognized by our people. Very few of them get it outside the hospitals. The physician makes a visit, leaves his orders, and the patient is left in the care of persons unacquainted with the rudiments of nursing. Being a loving mother or an attentive wife doesn't make one a good nurse. Home nursing should be one of the essential subjects taught our girls in our schools—grammar and high. It should be made compulsory. Classes should be formed at community centres, the Y.W.C. A., and in our churches and also at night schools. More intelligent care of our sick would be the result.

Well physicians, as a body of workmen are not paid for the work they perform. One third to one half of their work is not paid for. Bills are made but they are forgotten when patients are well. Services which were very valuable when the person was lying helpless in bed, are considered worthless when health has returned. After seeing a patient, who has no money, through an illness, all the physician gets in a good many cases is an unfilled promise. Insults have been my only pay after hours spent at night on cases of childbirth. Physicians are only human. If our colored people expect the interest and the necessary medical care from them, they must pay their bills better than they have done in the past. —adv. GARDEN CLUB Sts., N.W.

LACY, Sports Editor HOWARD UNIVERSITY BOARD OF ATHLETIC CONTROL REVIEWS C. I. A. A. MUDDLE DOCTOR DAVIS MAKES FULL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE HOWARD POSITION Blue and White Schedule Complete, But Will Play Conference Teams As Vacancies Occur The Board of Athletic Control of Howard University at a meeting held January 10, authorized Doctor E. P. Davis, chairman of the board to issue the following statement with reference to the report of one kind or another which have recently appeared in the public press undertaking to chronicle the attitude of Howard University with reference to the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, many of these statements being regarded by the Board of Athletic Control as being of a character calling for contradiction and comment. In his statement, Doctor Davis says: Doctor Davis' Statement "The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, although calling itself intercollegiate, has a number of high school students playing on the same teams with college students. Recently it even had graded school students playing on its teams. This condition probably exists still. Howard's withdrawal was due to this confusion of standards in the organization. For the C.I.A.A. insisted upon imposing this anomaly upon us, who have no preparatory students, by voting that a preparatory student upon graduating from high school and entering college at Howard should have deducted from his approaching term as a college player the years he had already played in the association as a high school or graded school player. Agreed to Terms "Howard objected to this. Later Howard generously agreed to accept the association's proposal, provided that one year—the first—of the student's participation should not be deducted or counted in any way. This was agreed to by a plenipotentiary committee of the association. But promptly the association broke faith and protested a Howard player, who had played one year, and only one, as a preparatory student in a C.I.A.A. institution, and declared forfeited the games in which this player had appeared. Howard then withdrew from the C.I.A.A. expressing her attitude as follows: "Howard announces withdrawal from the C.I.A.A. We regret that we are forced to take this step by the impossibility of reconciling collegiate and high school standards in the association and hope that our pleasant relations with the member institutions may continue." The Boycott Against Howard "The C.I.A.A. rudely replied that no member institution would play Howard as long as she remained out. One institution even violated a contract already made, signed, and delivered. This action instead of weakening, really strengthened Howard's schedule, for more intimate relations were maintained or established with such great institutions as Atlanta, Fisk, Lincoln, Morehouse, Morgan, West Virginia, and Wilberforce. Meantime there was organized the American College Athletic Association, which includes these and many other institutions and is national and collegiate in character. Eligibility Regulations "In order to refute many of the false and misleading statements that have been circulated, we wish to make clear, first, that Howard does deduct from the playing terms THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JANUARY 21. 1927 of her athletes the years they have previously spent elsewhere as college players, but does not and will not so deduct the years already spent as high school or graded school players; and, second, that Howard does not permit a student transferring from another college to participate in intercollegiate athletics until one year has elapsed since his participation at his former college, but Howard does permit and will permit any student fresh from graduation from high school or preparatory school to take part in intercollegiate competition, under the rules of the Howard Faculty and in harmony with the standards of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which controls the athletic policies of the best colleges in the United States. Professional Students Not to Play "Moreover, beginning with autumn, 1928, no student in any of the Howard professional schools will be eligible to participate in intercollegiate athletic competition. Also, beginning with autumn, 1928, not only those who earn their letters but also those who do not earn them will be excluded from membership on a team in more than four academic years. These are much severer standards than those of the C.I.A.A. This legislation was passed more than two years ago. "Since withdrawing from the C.I.A.A., Howard has been willing to play its member institutions. Howard may find places for them on her schedule in the various sports, if they express a desire to play her, but Howard is not likely to rejoin the C.I.A.A. organization." BOXING FANS "BOO" WALKER AND CHEER FLOWERS VERNON, Calif.-Jan. 20 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Boxing fans of the West evidently believe that "Tiger" Flowers was robbed of his title if the reception given Flowers and Walker at the Vernon Arena is considered. Tuesday night, at the regular boxing events just before the Callahan-Jawson main event, "Tiger" Flowers was invited into the ring to be introduced to the audience. His appearance brought a deafening round of cheers, but "Mickey" Walker introduction was greeted with boos, hisses and the cry of robber. "Tiger" Flowers, great sportsman that he is, then climbed back into the ring and also pulled Walker back with him and shook hands, showing that he did not blame Walker for the raw decision in Chicago. NUTTER HEADS EASTERN LEAGUE NUTTER HEADS EASTERN LEAGUE By Lloyd P. Thompson DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 12—With the wind-up of the joint baseball confab here that attracted the attention of all of the big Negro baseball promoters comes the information that the commissioners of the Eastern Colored League have elected Isaac H. Nutter, an Atlantic City lawyer, to the office of president, with complete, judicial power to control the affairs of the seaboard circuit. The New Jersey attorney was chosen from a field that had narrowed down to about five nominees. In securing Lawyer Nutter, the commissioners feel that they have secured the right man for the post, and that the needed impetus will be supplied to aid the organization to forge ahead. To those who are familiar with the southern section of New Jersey, Nutter needs no introduction, being active at the bar in Atlantic County and adjacent territory. He is an ardent baseball fan, with a keen sense for fair play. He made quite a reputation as a second sacker in the "simon pure" ranks back in his college days. Plans for his induction into office will be effected at the next meeting of the league, which incidentally will be held in Atlantic City, the home town of the new leader. Increased Schedule Another phase of the commissioners' determination to improve the league is the decision to increase the schedule to 120 games. While this does not seem feasible when great trouble has been experienced in attempting an 80-game schedule in the past however, with the crop of independent white clubs showing an alarming shrinkage, and too, taking into consideration that each of the league clubs plays approximately 150 or more games a season, the commissioners see no reason that the increased schedule can not be accomplished. The pennant race will be divided into halves, the winner of the first half playing the winner of the second half in a series of seven games which will determine the league champs. This team will participate in the annual world series. The playing season will begin May 1st and terminate September 15th. Lincolns Back in League The league now has the seven clubs in line that finished the 1925 race. Whether another club will be added to balance the league, is yet to be determined. Judging from past experience the commissioners will vote to continue with the present clubs, rather than add a weak member. Since the schedule does not call for every day contests, the seven clubs do not work to a disadvantage. The seventh club was returned when Jim Keenan went through the formality of withdrawing his resignation that had been offered at a prior meeting, but which had never received action from the commissioners. The Lincoln Giants' owner, not only put his club back into the league, but was re-appointed custodian of the league's cash till as well as being its chief scribe. Ed. Bolden was re-elected chairman of the commission. Westerners Prove Royal Hosts To say that the officials of the Negro National League did themselves proud in conducting the convention, is putting it mildly. The spacious and well appointed Y. M. C. A. building was the center of activity during the three-day session here that started with a welcoming address by Honorable John H. Smith, mayor of Detroit, and climaxed by an elaborate banquet in the "Y" reception room. Especially convincing was the address of Mayor Smith who said that he was greatly interested in the national pasttime and took every opportunity to see the Detroit club in the Negro National League participate in home games. World Series While matters have not been completed, the work of revising the disbursements of the world series' receipts was taken up by the two leagues in an effort to make it more lucrative to the participating players. The expense budget which has been the fly in the ointment, will be shaved as much as possible and special attention given to park rentals that has greatly reduced net profits. The meetings were marked by the absence of player trades. "TIGER" FLOWERS STARTS TRAINING FOR LOMSKI LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 20 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—"Tiger" Flowers, whose middleweight crown was lately taken away from him by an incompetent Chicago referee, arrived in Los Angeles Tuesday morning and is in training at the Main Street Athletic Club for his bout with Loo Lomski at Wrigley, Saturday afternoon, January 22nd. Mickey Walker, "synhetic" middleweight champion landed in this city just a few days ahead of Flowers and it is expected that he will challenge the winner of the Flowers-Lomski battle. Although Lomski is rated very highly in these parts, Flowers should give him a boxing lesson in all of the ten rounds. Tex Rickard gave Flowers preference over Mickey Walker in his list of 1926 boxing celebrities. A WHIRLWIND BOSTON "FIDDLE" MORLEY "Fiddle" Morley, stellar guard of the Fitton K. of C. who will appear here against Taylor and Conway's Black and White Checks a week from Monday Morley is well placed in the visiting line-up because, according to reports, he is a veritable whirlwind. CARLISLES SURPRISE ATHENIANS Ike Wright's highly touted Baltimore Greeks were astounded, at the end of the 40 minutes playing time, last Thursday night, to find themselves on the short end of a 31-25 count. Overconfident, the Athenians were no match for the local Carlisle machine, and except for the first few minutes trailed throughout the game. The Brown-Poles-Keller combination seemed unable to find itself. This trio, closely guarded, could not be depended on for their usual amount of scoring. Little Ev. Davis was the most successful of the three Carlisles assigned to the task of defending their goal against the Baltimore attack. His opponent, Scrapy Brown was so successfully watched, that he was able to garner only a single field goal and foul for a total of 3 points. Hull Has Field Day Benny Hill, Conway's diminutive forward, was the scoring power of the home team. Hill enjoyed a field day in gathering a total of 15 points, nearly half of the Carlisle score. Here, there and everywhere by virtue of 7 field baskets and a free goal, little Benny was easily the high point getter of the pastime. Poles, the runner-up in individual scoring, was headed by 3 points. The Athenian's counting was to the extent of 3 goals from scrimmage and 4 from the 15-foot mark. Carlisles Lead at Half The Washington entry was ahead 11-10 at the 20-minute post. Neither team seemed able to find the cords with any regulatory during the first period, and only through Henderson's foul shot was the local team able to enjoy a 1-point lead. Battling on even terms the two teams evidently were shy of taking chances. Henderson, Tower of Strength On the defense, Slim Henderson was a tower of strength. Occasions were decidedly few where an Athenian shooter was able to recover the rebound for a follow-up attempt. The Black and White center was continually under the opponent's basket reaching up with his long arms to take the sphere as its mark had been missed. His off the backboard almost as soon opponent, Keller, was creditably guarded obtaining only 3 baskets and a foul. It was largely due to this fact that the Capital City team came out on top. Keller, as most fans who have seen the Greeks in action know, is a very dependable cog in the Purple and Gold machine, and when he is so nicely kept under control—as he was last Thursday—the Orioles are in for a tough time. The visiting clan used 8 men in an effort to stem the Washington tide, but January 13, appeared to be a Carlisle day.

BISONS SMOTHER STORER COLLEGE Blue and White Reserven Have No Trouble With West Virginians Coach Burr's reserves took the place of his varsity in last Saturday night's game against Scoter College which the local Howard University Basketeers took by a 52-9 score. The West Virginia quint had no resemblance of a match for the Bisons, and failed to make the affair a contest. So much superior was the Howard team to the visitors that long before activities ceased a large hole was seen to be growing in the crowd. Not much of a story can be written concerning the game due to the invaders' inability to make it such. In the prelim the Howard freshmen made it a Blue and White night by taking advantage of the Dunbar night school in a 46-3 rout.

BIG BASKETBALL ATTRAGTION TO BE STAGED Positively the biggest basketball attraction ever staged in Washington will be held in the Lincoln Colonnade Monday night, January 31. The Fitton Knights of Columbus team, of Boston, formerly the Boston Whirlwinds, of the American Professional Basketball League, will show their wares in a game with the Carlisle quint. The Fittons were the champions of the Greater Boston Professional League last year. Prior to entering the Greater Boston League, they represented Boston in the American League for the first half but due to the franchise being given up on account of not being able to secure a suitable playing court they did not complete in the second half. On Tour The Bostonians are now on a tour of the South and Southwest and are meeting the best teams in those sections. They have earned a reputation for perfect passing and accurate shooting. The line-up consists of "Flash" Crotty and Snappy O'Connell at forward, Coo Thompson at centre, and Fiddle Morley and Red Irwin doing the back work. The Fittens after playing together for 12 years, participating in about 700 games and losing less than 40, are on an extensive road trip which will consist of about 75 games going as far south as Miami, Fla. The tour started January 12th in New Hampshire and will end about April 13th in Harrisburg, Pa. During that time the club will play in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and other states. Carlisle Strong In New York the Renassance Club, comprised of the greatest collection of colored stars ever assembled, will be met by the Fittons. The team will play almost every night from January 12 to April 13th. Needless to say, the Carlisle Club is assuming a great deal of expense to present this attraction to local fandom and at the present clip the Carlisle players are traveling, the Fitton Club should have its hands full. Outweighed about 12 pounds to the man, the local Dunbar High School team fell before the Baltimore Dougless High quint 37-8 in the Dunbar gym last Thursday afternoon. Lightweight and green, the Red and Black five vainly attempted to fight off the irresistible force confronting them in the form of the visiting Ducks. Coach Perkins is handicapped in having such a comparatively light squad. His first string five, averages less than 125 pounds, and this fact, if no other, accounts for the local team's inability to cope with the aggregation from Baltimore.

There are only nine possible dates in the Howard season. This makes it impossible to play all of the schools desiring a place on the schedule. The "Bisons" next year will undoubtedly attempt the most difficult schedule in recent years. Bluefield Institute of Bluefield, W. Virginia, has given the West Virginia Collegiate Institute a very stiff argument for the past few years. Having this team placed first on the Howard schedule means that the "Bisons" will have to get going earlier than last season. To Play Morgan The Morgan College team from Baltimore will appear here on the Saturday prior to the Thanksgiving Classi- tion. This team, as local fans know, gave the Lions a tough battle last year, and has again obtained recognition by the Howard authorities as a contender worth while. The Howard schedule for next year follows: October 1 - Bluefield Institute, at home October 2 - University College home October 8—Livingstone College, phone home October 15—Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia. October 22—W. Va. Collegiate Institute, Charleston, W. Va. October 29 — Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. November 5—Wilberforce University, at home November 12—Atlanta University, at home November 19—Morgan College, at home November 24—Lincoln University, Philadelphia, Pa. Y. W. C. A. LEADS BASKET- BALL LEAGUE Last Friday night before a large crowd the National Benefit girl's team, displaying the best brand of basketball it has showed this season, defeated the fast team of Howard University, 26-24. Both teams were evenly matched and not until the last minute of play did either team have an advantage. The score was tied eight times during the contest and neither team had a lead of more than four points over the other. The first half ended 7 all. Both teams show the results of good coaching and the experience of a few games played in the league this winter. Smith, Downing, and Allan starred for the winners while Arnold, Robinson and Harvey shared the honors on the University five. This game concludes the first half of the league schedule which was won by the Y. W. C. A. team with the other three teams tying each other. The second half of the league schedule onens Tuesday night when the Y. W. team plays the Shiloh Baptist girls. THEATRICAL PAUL ROBESON, PREMIER ACTOR AT THE BROAD-WAY On Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present Roland West's production of the great comedy mystery drama, "The Bat." It is a lavish production of high tension, tautly suspensive, will interest, quick surprises, shrieks of laughter, astounding climaxes, and thrills in every reel. On Tuesday, the two beloved stars, Roland Colman and Vilma Banky appear in the sensational war drama of blind love, "The Dark Angel." On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oscar Micheaux will present the world's greatest Negro actor, Paul Robeson, in a drama of the lowly "Body and Soul," supported by an all-star cast of colored players of merit including Mercedes Gilbert, Lawrence Chenault, and Theresa Russell. The management of this theatre will not try to make patrons believe that any of the all-star colored pictures are perfect, but he believes that if the few faults are overlooked we will be able to encourage a growing industry that some day soon will be able to give employment to thousands of young colored men and women. He therefore asks all of his patrons to think in the same way and help push their own race artists to the front. Melodies will be furnished by White Brothers' Band. COLLEEN MOORE AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Colleen Moore, supported by Kenneth Harland, and star cast, will be seen in a story of London's Limehouse district. The suspense-filled plot played against the mysterious, fascinating background of crooked, narrow streets and the teeming humanity of the world's most famous waterfront slum keeps the spectator on the edge of his seat throughout. Wednesday and Thursday, George Sidney, Vera Gordon and Louise Fazenda appear in a humorous play "Millionaires." For Friday and Saturday, a Parmount drama, "Everybody's Acting" with a cast that sounds like who is who in Hollywood, Betty Bronson, Ford Sterling, Louise Dresser, Lawrence Gray, Henry Walthall, Raymond Hitchcock, Stuart Holmes, Philo McCullough, and Jocelyn Lee. Saturday only, "The Silent Flyer," and talent on stage at 7:15 and 9:15. Rex Ingram's powerful drama will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 23, 24, 25, and 26. Beautiful Alice Terry leads the cast, and is said to have her best role in this picture. Paul Wegner has the role of the magician, and his acting reminds one of Emil Jannings, in fact, it is said by some that he is the equal of Jannings. "The Magician" also introduces a new leading man to the screen, Ivan Petrovish, a young Serbian actor. He is young, handsome, and bound to become a favorite. The picture is a story of a mad magician. Rarely has the screen fleshed a dramatic thunderbolt like this one. A beautiful girl, in the strange power of a mad magician, her life at stake! Sensation follows sensation in this great film masterpiece. By all means, see "The Magician." "The City," a drama of love and politics will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, January 27, 28. Robert Frazer, May Allison and Walter McGrail are in the cast. It is a drama of a big city, with its pitfalls and temptations. On Saturday, January 29, "Home Struck" a story of the stage with Viola Dana will be the feature attraction. On the stage will be presented talent at 7:30 and 9:30. BANNER ATTRACTION AT HOWARD THEATRE For the week beginning Monday, January 24, the patrons of the Howad will have another treat with "Shuffle Along" on the stage, and the photoplay "Stella Dallas" on the screen. Each attraction is worth the price of admission, and surely is worth it with this big double attraction. "Shuffle Along" needs no introduction to Washington folks, and with Sidney Easton and Joe Simms handling the comedy you will be highly entertained. In the cast is also found Mee Barnes, Mildred Graves, Paul Floyd, Bert Howell, Claud Lawson, Martha Copeland, Angeline Lawson, Onions Jeffrey, Coley Grant, Addison Carey, and others. The feature picture "Stella Dallas" is the kind of picture that you all want to see. Ronald Colman, Belle Bennett, and Alice Joyce are featured in it. The readers of the book will have a chance to see this picture all the week. This picture comes to the Howard direct from Lowe's downtown theatre being the first run uptown. This is the picture that the public in New York paid $2.00 to see for months on Broadway. If you miss next week's bill you will miss something worth while. Our big midnight show will be presented on Friday night. On Saturday night, at 9 o'clock, the barrel of fun, with all its fun, will BIG TIMES ON THE T.O.B. A. CIRCUIT By W. R.

Of course, some are better than others, but as a whole they are good. I spent Sunday down on the farm with mother and my race horses. Had a good old country dinner. Galloped a couple of horses, and I am feeling fine. I must say that my horses are rearing to go. I don't know how far they'll go, but they are rearing. I am proud to say that I have the best string of thoroughbreds I have ever owned, and this summer, while the show business is in its regular summer slump, I expect the horses to pay the actors their salaries. Of course, I didn't say they would, I sad I "expect" them to. I will try to find time during the week to review the different shows and give you my opinion through these columns next week. COLORED HEROES OF SAN JUAN HILL HONORED IN "THE ROUGH RIDERS" PRODUCTION (By Jimmy Smith) HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 20, (Pacific Coast News Bureau.) The heroic action of the famous 9th and 10th Cavalaries in furious fighting at Las Guasimas and in the thrilling charge up San Juan Hill, where in conjunction with the combined forces of the First, Third and Sixth Voluntary Cavalry (Rough Riders) the Spaniards on June 24, July 1, 2, 3, 1898. 51 SNUFFY (with Jockey Workm a n up) after winning the feature handicap for the two-year-old s at Cleveland. DUDLEY'S HORSE ENDS SEASON WITH UNIQUE RECORD S. H. Dudley's crack two-year-old went to winter quarters with the record of never finishing out of the money during the entire season of 1926. This is an exceptional record for a race horse. Dudley expects lots from Snuffy this year in the three-year-old class. This horse was named after Dave Marion, (Snuffy, the cabman) by Dudley, due to the fact that Dudley and Marion are old friends. It was with Dave Marion's "World of Frolics that Dudley made his last appearance on the stage. Besides this crack two-year-old, Dudley owns the following horses, that will start in Maryland soon: Lady Glassen, Beautiful Flowers, and The Maid. Mr. Dudley is agent for Lally, Ben Starr, Subtle and Callum who race in the colors of J. B. Key, another Washington sportsman, who has the utmost confidence in Dudley's horsemanship. The little fellow holding the above horse is C. Manly, the trainer for the stable. RANDALL JUNIOR HIGH NEW ADDITION OPEN A new eight room annex and a combined assembly hall and gymnasium has recently been constructed at the Randall Junior High School, First and I streets, southwest. The eight class rooms of the annex were opened for use Thursday and the auditorium will be completed and equipped by February 1. A cafeteria with a seating capacity of 200 will also be ready by the time the new semester begins. The completion of this new wing makes Randall the largest colored junior high school in Washington, and will enable that school to play its basketball games on her own court. Heretofore the junior high school basketball series has been held at the Dunbar High School, but now that their facilities will allow playing of the series at one of the junior high schools, it places the Junior High League in an independent position. The Board of Education recently approved the converting of the Francis Junior High School at 24th and N streets, into a junior high school for Negroes. This increases the number of colored junior high schools to four, classes already being held at Shaw, Phelps and Randall Junior High Schools. the most glorious battles of the Spanish-American War, has been most vividly reproduced in Famous Players Lasky's $1,500,000 epic war drama glorifying Roosevelt and his men. Filmed at San Antonio It was in that historic battle of innumerable acts of heroism that the Americans were ordered to "take Kettle Hill at all costs." A task accomplished that resulted in 18 per cent or nearly one in five of the cavalry division being killed or wounded, and 11 out of 22 officers, and 16½ of the Tenth Cavalry lost in casualties. This action, as realistic and thrilling as it actually occurred, has been reproduced by Director Victor Fleming on a site 30 miles from San Antonio, Tex., where the similarity of the San Juan and Kettle Hills topography was amazing, only needing the transplanting of Palm trees and Cuban plants to give the desired tropical effect. 200 Negroes Used With this natural setting as a background, Famous Players Lasky Corporation filmed the battle sequences, using 200 colored men, many of them ex-soldiers, in the reproduction of the historic charge, Frank Hooper, former salesman whose resemblance to Theodore Roosevelt is remarkable, portrays the role of the Rough Rider leader, while Fred Lindsey essays that of Leonard Wood. OAKLAND, Calif. Jan. 20 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—That demon junior welterweight of San Diego, California, Young Harry Wills, won from Billy Murphy, white in the third round, Wednesday night at the Oakland Auditorium by a technical handshake. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1927 MRS. McPHERSON PORTRAYS DAYS OF SLAVERY (By Rosa Dale) LOS ANGELES, Calif. 20. (Pacific Coast News Bureau.)-With the platform of Angelus Temple converted into a Southern plantation scene and the evangelist attired in a quaint hoopskirt costume of lace and silk typifying the southern lady, Aimee Semple McPherson, celebrated her recent court victory by delivering another triump in a colorful and illustrious sermon entitled, "Slavery Days." Negro Singers In a setting of little Negro cabins, cotton fields and a beautiful plantation home aided by colored juilee singers and the choir from a local Methodist church (colored), Mrs. McPherson presented to one of the largest audiences that ever jammed her famous temple, a religious tableau, an allegory in which sin was defined as slavery; Abraham Lincoln as the Christ; the Emancipation Proclamation as the Bible and similar analogies were used in driving home the point that despite the fact that slavery days have passed there are still slaves today—slaves of appetite, slaves of taste, slaves of sin of public opinion. Free at Last Freed at last, after living in "slavery" 7 months and 22 days, Mrs. McPherson's sermon was an illustrious finale to one of the most sensational court cases that the country has ever witnessed. It began on May 18, 1926, when Mrs. McPherson vanished from the surf at Ocean Park while on an surf at Ocean Park while in bathing and swimming. A nation wide search for her proved fruitless. On June 23, however, Mrs. McPherson suddenly re-appeared at Aqua Prieta, Mexico, just across the line from Douglas, Ariz., and told a startling story of having been kidnapped and held prisoner for ransom in a desert shack in Mexico. Investigation of her story began and although Mrs. McPherson appeared before the county grand jury and denied the evidence that had been presented which tended to show that she was the "mysterious Miss X" who had occupied a cottage at Carmel-By-The-Sea for a period of 10 days with Kenneth G. Omistim, formerly in charge of the radio at the Angeles Temple. Leaves For East True to her methods of capitalizing publicity, Mrs. McPherson has left for the East, not for a rest, but to make capital of the nation wide publicity that has been given her in this case. After a brief stay at the Grand Canyon, Mrs. McPherson stopped in Denver delivering her sermon Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the Municipal Auditorium and is now en route East with stops scheduled at Kansas City, San Antonio, Dallas Wichita. Dayton, Cleveland, Rochester, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, New Orleans, Atlanta, Shreveport, and back to Los Angeles.

WRIGHT SCORES AS TYPIST DEVELOPER According to a recent survey by the United States Bureau of Education there are 2,523 colored students pursuing formal courses in typing in the public and private secondary schools of the country. The District of Columbia is accredited with 475, and the remaining 2,048 are distributed among schools in 20 widely scattered states. From time to time, students of the department of business practice of Dunbar High School at Washington, under the instruction of Mr. J. C.

Northwest Phone, North 5224 Liberal Progressive Independent OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM The largest single item of annual expenditure in the budget of the District of Columbia is the item for the support and maintenance of the public school system. To state the proposition in another way: The taxpayer carries a larger burden for public school purposes than for any other function of government maintained by the District of Columbia. This is very properly so. Education should occupy the principal place in any program of governmental activities. This admission calls attention to another side of the school question which seems to have dropped altogether from the consideration of public officials having relation to the school system, and that is this: Since the taxpayer's contribution is larger for this item of expenditure than for any other single item of District government expense, officials charged with the appointment of persons to administer the school system should make every reasonable effort to discover and appoint qualified persons, understanding and reflecting the taxpayer's views and aspirations. And be it understood that every person who works for wages, or salary, is a taxpayer, if he pays for his food, clothing and shelter; because the tax is one of the factors which go to determine how much he shall pay for these things. These reflections are appropriate to certain conditions in the school system which are at this time occupying the attention of the general public and are commanding considerable space in the daily newspapers. Within the last two weeks there have appeared in the papers statements, not to say charges, to the effect that, before an appointment to the board of education is made, the appointing power, or a constituent part thereof, obtains from the prospective appointee definite promises in detail as to how he will vote—in the event of appointment—on questions which will come before the board for action. And, furthermore, it is alleged that members of the board are guilty of the practice of nepotism—securing appointments of their relatives, and members of their families to positions in the system. These allegations have either been denied by the persons involved, or statements have been made (as in the case of alleged nepotism) designed to avoid the effect of the allegations where relatives, or members of the families of board members have been appointed to positions in the system during the term of office of the members in question. These denials or avoidances contain the implication that both practices, if they exist, are reprehensible. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to prove the first allegation. There is information, however, to the effect that while no member of the appointing power has directly sought or secured a pledge from a prospective appointee as to what course he would pursue if appointed to membership of the board, the same result has been obtained by indirection. There is abundant testimony going to show that when it becomes known that a person is being given serious consideration by the appointing power, that person receives a visit from one or more individuals known to be on terms of the closest intimacy with some member of the appointing power, and is questioned as to his views on all matters relating to the duties of a member of the board of education, including his views concerning the existing personnel, and prospective changes. The practice of nepotism is so ancient and uninterrupted, that it is surprising that anyone should deny that it exists or seek to avoid the effect of it by "passing the buck." While all appointments are legally in the hands of the superintendent, yet it is generally known that his appointments become effective only after confirmation by the board. Further, it is known that the wishes of members of the board have great weight with the superintendent. The organic act provides that all meetings of the board shall be public. The intention and expressed will of Congress are defeated by a provision in the board's rules by which the board constitutes itself a committee of the whole.

The scheme of a committee of the whole is a clever device to circumvent the commands of the organic act. While the practice is probably technically legal, nevertheless, from the standpoint of sound ethics and good morals it savors of what is known in common parlance as "slickness." It is behind the committee of the whole, and of the appointing power of the superintendent that offenses in violation of the rule against nepotism are sought to be excuses. The only feasible remedy in sight for the correction of the evils complained of is the popular election of the members of the board of education. It would be interesting to go over the appointments of the last twenty years to find out how many relatives of members of the board of education were appointed in the system during the term of office of the respective members. SOCIAL WELFARE IN NORTH CAROLINA Evidences of the progress of civilization are multiplying in North Carolina. In all things which go to make up what is known as progress and civilization North Carolina is far ahead of the other southern states along the Atlantic seaboard. In education, in road building, in industrial development, in agricultural efficiency, in the administration of justice, in the protection given to life and property, and in all those things which lift man above the beasts of the field the "Old North State" has set an example which the other southern Atlantic states would do well to emulate. In none of these states does the Negro enjoy the opportunity for development that he does in North Carolina. It is not conceivable that a lynching, such as recently took place at Aiken, South Carolina, could have occurred in North Carolina, without the authorities exerting themselves to the uttermost to ferret out the wrong doers, and to bring them to trial. This line of reflection is suggested by a notice which has just been sent out from Raleigh, North Carolina, by Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, Director, Division of Negro Work, Board of Public Welfare, announcing the meeting of the Negro Welfare Institute to be held in Winston-Salem, January 12, 13 and 14. This Institute is for Negro social wokrers. The subjects to be discussed include county organization; state institutions for dependents, defectives and delinquents; care of dependent and neglected children; and mental and social hygiene. There will be in attendance Negro welfare assistants, probation officers, case workers, officers and workers from private social agencies, ministers, community workers, special teachers, public health nurses and citizens interested in social welfare work. The value of social effort of this kind—reaching down to the foundations of human conditions—can not be well overestimated. The prerequisites to all material, social progress are mental, physical and social agencies directed to human betterment. It is a matter of the greatest importance that the dependent, delinquent and defective members of our group should be looked after, and that everything should be done to reduce their number, and, so far as possible, to restore to a life of usefulness those who have fallen into these categories. No race which is careless as to the physical, moral, mental and social welfare of its members can have a place in this pushing, competitive civilization of ours. The first concern is a healthy body; then a trained, disciplined mind; then sound, ethical conceptions; and, finally, a social vision and outlook. Upon these things can be erected financial, commercial, industrial and business enterprises which will serve the group and all mankind. A FREAK STATUE Af Natchitoches, Louisiana, a statue has been recently set up and dedicated to "the good niggers" of that state. It is the gift of a white man of perverted imagination, bad taste and warped judgment. The statue represents young MANY BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN LOVE MUSIC (Continued from last issue) The Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, is a versatile clergyman judging by ordinary standards in the ecclesiastical domain. He possesses a good musical education, being altogether a good singer, pianist and organist. It causes us to wonder if he too, possesses the gift of Polyhmnia; but whether or not that is true it is well at least, that he has found favor in Euterpe. It certainly would be amiss to leave such a venerable character out of the picture as the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldon as he certainly is a great lover of music, not of tinkling cymbals and sounding brass, but music possessing majesty and dignity, appealing both to the spiritual and intellectual inner man. He proves this by leading his congregation in singing good, wholesome hymns and songs that do not smack of demagogery and modern-day-dance-tunes set to sacred script. DENOMINES PRESENT VOGUE While we are entertaining this thought, with all the power of Discordia let us denounce the materialistic type of church music now in vogue in many places in which its sole aim is to catch the ear of modern flapperjacks and then help drag them to the mercy-seat in a wild soul-saving campaign. When the delirious effect of it all has died away they would have to search the woods to find them again to confess to their deft backsliding. Clergymen nowadays should have some knowledge of music to properly fit in the modern church equation we hold, or at least, have some idea of good music for the spiritual uplift of their congregation. Women Love Music Among the able women we know who are lovers of good music we mention Miss Nannie H. Burroughs who insists on having a good chorus of girls at her school; Mrs. Martha A. McAdoo who includes music as a part of her Y.W.C.A. program; Mrs. Amanda Gray Hillyer, always a fond lover of the better type of music, and a prime mover in a local group of musical enthusiasts; Mrs. Beatrice Francis, one of the energetic supporters in a former local concert series; Mrs. Gregoria Frazier Goin, among the most unselfish and inspiring leaders in the local music world; Miss Jennie Williams, member of the Treble Club; Mrs. Marian D. Butler, who lends her support readily to music movements; Mrs. J. U. King, an able minister's wife who knows something about music and applies it usefully in helping various causes; Mrs. Essie Jarvis, former organist at Asbury Church and a music "traveller" for fifty and more years; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelmah, notable for her wealth of musical information; Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall who in former years was an active supporter of all worthy musical endeavors and sponsor of the late Mme. A. Azalia Hackley's many successful concerts; Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, another firm believer in musical advancement, and others. We could mention many others, but limited space prevents us from doing so. What a magnificent array of music lovers among our leading women. More Professional Men Back to men again. We mention Dr. Elias G. Evans who, we be- free, grinning—hat in hand, making a low bow. This statue seems to be the concrete embodiment of a conception of the Daughters of the Confederacy who some time since sought permission from Congress to erect a memorial in Washington to "black mammies." Not only do self-respecting colored people deprecate the erection of such memorials, but right-minded, normally constructed white people protest against it. It is one of the signs of progress, that, in Louisiana, large numbers of white people have expressed displeasure that a statue symbolical of servitude should be erected in their state. Even that class of white people who spend most of their waking hours devising means of keeping Negroes "in their places" would seem to be intelligent enough to understand that statues of the kind erected at Natchitoches, and of the kind proposed by the Daughters of the Confederacy are a reproach to the nation itself and would subject it to the contempt and ridicule of civilized nations. Of course, there are many "good niggers" in the United States. "Good" in this connection means servile, supine, passive, accepting conditions as they are without any feeling or expression of protest, or any effort of any kind having in view a change. A "good nigger" is a mental defective, if not a moral delinquent. Until these late years, it has never occurred to anybody to erect monuments to such as these. Those who would defile the country with such structures, symbolical of conditions which mankind is seeking to abolish, are not so much commemorating "good niggers" as they are illustrating their THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1927 HEMAN PERRY IS WITH NEW STANDARD LIFE ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 20.—A handful of insurance producers in this city recently broke all existing records for business written in one month by any group organization. During December, 1926, the first thirty days of operation, thirty-five agents of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Missouri wrote $1,015,250 worth of business here. The St. Louis Underwriters Corporation was the group of financiers largely responsible for the organization of the Standard Life Insurance Company, an old line legal reserve company with the entire capital stock of $100,000 fully subscribed and paid in, with a $50,000 surplus. A masterly stroke placed Heman E. Perry at the helm. The million in a month is the result. In a recent interview Mr. Perry tells how it was done, and it makes interesting reading. Gives Credit to Personnel "Everybody, including experienced insurance men said—it cannot be done. But we did it—wrote $1,015,250 in our first month of production," he said. "It is my firm belief that success for us lay in the fact that we were fortunate in our choice of men. Not only are they trained men, masters of their proposition but they are, as well, men of true vision, inspired with the spirit of service." Financial Outlook for 1927 "What do you think of the financial outlook for our group in 1927?" Mr. Perry was asked. "That's a large bill," he replied, "but to sum it all up, the Negro in America, to my way of thinking is approaching his greatest period of financial expansion. What he learned in the past will bear fruit in the present. Scattered individual successes are giving way to corporate development. "You have only to look around you for evidences of the fact that we are learning to harness our resources and by co-operative effort make possible banks, financial institutions and insurance companies. lieve, loves music almost as well as dentistry. His charring wife, we learn is a musician. Dr. C. Sumner Wormell, called a "prince among men" is another dentist whose musical proclivities are too well known hereabout for extended comment. His vibrant baritone voice has charmed thousands and he is the pride of Washington. Dr. William H. Jackson and Dr. William W. Whipps, both pharmacists, are almost as much musicians as they are professional men. We are wondering about the musical inheritance—or perhaps we should say, pride—of President John R. Hawkins, of the Prudential Bank, but we know that cashier W. A. Bowie of the Industrial Savings Bank loves music. There is Judge Cobb, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, Dr. Walter Garvin, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, S. W. Rutherford, A. N. Scurlock, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Robert A. Pelham, Perry W. Howard, L. M. King, and a host of others. Yes, we are wondering if they feel an inclination towards the art to justify adoration.

The older Tribunites should form a hub of asking their parents for information concerning anything about their bodies that they do not know—or of which they want to know more. Your body is a great machine—the greatest machine in the world. You should treat it well and learn more about it. Read the following bit of advice by David Starr Jordan, and learn to be a friend to your body. "Your Afterself" "Your first duty in life is toward your afterself. So live that your afterself—the man you ought to be—may in his time be possible and actual. "Far away in the years he is waiting his turn. His body, his brain, his soul, are in your keeping. He cannot help himself." "Will it be a brain unspoiled by lust or dissipation, a mind trained to think and act, a nervous system true as a dial in its response to the truth about you? Will you let him come as a man among men in his time? Or will you throw away his inheritance before he has had the chance to touch it? Will you turn over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseased? A will untrained to action? A spinal cord grown through and through with the devil grass of that vile harvest we call wild oats?" "Will you let him come, taking your place, gaining through your experiences, hallowed through your joys, building on them his own?" "Or will you fling his hope away, decreeing wanton-like that the man you might have been shall never be?" "This is the problem of life—the problem of more importance to you than any or all others. How will you meet it? As a man or as a fool?" "When you answer this, we shall know what use the world can make of you." Read this over, then take it to father and ask him to read it over to you and explain it to you. Remember that father is your best pal—one who tell you the truth about all things. A FEW MINUTES OF FUN See whether or not you can fill in the blanks properly. Keep your list for next week, and compare it with the correct sentences that will be printed on this page.

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.
