Lacy Flooring of the Masonic Temple structure at Tenth and U streets, northwest, threatens to completely collapse. A second floor section on the north front of the building facing U street, fell on Tuesday night with a crash that could be heard for several blocks. On an investigation by a Tribune reporter and staff photographer Wednesday morning, it was found that the entire second floor section of the U street side of the building has bene held up these many months by mere wooden supports. Exposed to the weather these insufficient supports could hardly be expected to do anything but rot. Rot they did, with the result that where there was once a floor and ceiling is now a large opening decorated by a lattice of half-inch iron rods. In June 1922 work was begun on the still incomplete Acacia Grand Lodge building and the corner stone laid August of that same year. Since that time the property has gone through a number of suits and legal entanglements, and finally sold at auction on April 12, 1926. The deed to the building was converted on September 18, last, to S. J. Solomon, white. At that time Grand Master Charles P. Ford said that work on the building would be resumed the following Friday which was September 25. Until now, however, nothing further has been done on the structure, and it looks as if haste is needed if any of the work thus far is to made use of. The building, in its present condition is a hazard to children of the neighborhood, and to pupils of the nearby schools, because of the fact that the building is not enclosed so as to prevent the more venturous ones from entering it. FREDDIE WOOD GETS DIVORCE Freddie Wood, well known sportsman about Seventh and T streets, northwest, is single again. A final decree granting him an absolute divorce from Mrs. Elizabeth Carter Wood was signed by Justice James F. Smith in the equity division of the District Supreme Court last Friday. In his suit Freddie Wood charged that his wife and Charles J. Snowden were arrested on a statutory charge at No. 432, Neale place, northwest, August 10, 1925. They pleaded guilty in police court on the following day. He had not lived with his wife since 1920, when he caught her in a compromising position with a man and she expressed her preference by leaving him, Mr. Wood said. Freddie Wood and Mrs. Elizabeth Carter Wood were married September 23, 1912, by the Rev. James E. Willis. They have three children, Thelma, 14 years old, Goldie, 10 years old, and Geraldine, 7 years old. Attorney George E. C. Hayes represented Mr. Wood.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY MAN TRIES TO DISSECT GIRL In what seemed to be an effort to dissect Dorothy Smith, 22 of 50 Hanover street, northwest, Frank Ayers, 28, of 23%, Hanover street, northwest, cut her from her right shoulder, across the back down to her left thigh. She was removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where it was necessary to take thirty-five stitches in the wound. Although her condition was undetermined, she refused to remain at the hospital. Ayers was arrested and charged with assault and intent to kill. The altercation occurred Sunday about 3:30 p.m. SEGREGATION IS NOT PRACTISED AT AUDITORIUM SEGREGATION IS NOT PRACTISED AT AUDITORIUM A rumor going the rounds the early part of this week led to the belief that segregation was being practiced against colored persons who attended the Aimee Semple McPhrison meetings held at the Washington Auditorium Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. An investigation and inquiry by a Tribune reporter revealed that no definite seating arrangement was used whereby race people were forced to occupy a section to themselves. It was discovered on a visit to the assembly. Wednesday night that people of every race and creed rubbed elbows. The main floor and box seats were the only ones to which access was denied any and everyone. Colored people were found by the Tribune reporter to be comfortably seated in every section of the Balcony. On being asked Thursday concerning the extent of the main floor and box seat reservations, Reverend Harry L. Collier of the Full Gospel Mission, who was in charge of the Evangelistic exercises said, "Every effort is made to reserve the boxes and downstairs for Senators, Representatives, ministers, city officials and out-of-town delegations. These seats, however, are only held until fifteen minutes prior to the starting time, then released by 'first come, first served methods.'" Several colored persons were questioned at the Wednesday night performance concerning treatment accorded them on their previous visits to the auditorium, but none of them would corroborate the rumor concerning the discrimination. One lady, a Mrs. Holmes of 525 Twenty-first street, northwest, said, "I have been here several times during her"—meaning the Evangelist's“stay, but except at the opening meeting when the ushers were evidently trying to seat everyone was any person designated a certain seat. This, however, has now been discontinued and you are urged to find your own seat." CAVE-IN AT MASONIC TEMPLE SIX MONTHS' OLD BABY ABANDONED IN HALLWAY SIX MONTHS' OLD BABY ABANDONED IN HALLWAY A six-months-old baby lies in a little white crib at the Children's Hospital, happy—because it does not know that its mother is unknown and perhaps intends never to return to claim it. About 9:45 p.m., Monday, an unidentified woman, said to be of light complexion, seemingly between twenty and thirty years old, wearing a dark brown coat and small hat, rang the bell at 1730 Eighth street, northwest, and asked it Miss Brown lived there. The names of the two persons who live at the Eighth street address are Mrs. Maggie Jackson and Mrs. Gertie Mason. When informed that Miss Brown did not live there, the woman left. Later the wailing of an infant in the hall attracted the attention of the people in the house as well as that of passersby. Evidently, the woman had placed the baby fully in a corner of the vestibule. As soon as Mrs. Jackson discovered the baby, she notified the police, who came and took the child to the Children's Hospital, at 12th and W streets, northwest. Neighbors of Mrs. Jackson claim that they saw a woman leave the yard and run toward S street, but they did not know who she was nor why she was running. Police have sent a lookout to inquire of all doctors and mid-wives concerning childbirths, for six months back, in an effort to apprehend the mother who abandoned the baby. JAS. G. CARTER IS NAMED FOR LIBERIAN POST JAS. G. CARTER IS NAMED FOR LIBERIAN POST By Louis R. Lautier The President last Friday sent to the Senate the nomination of James G. Carter, of Georgia, now a foreign service officer of class 7, assigned as consul at Tananarive, Madagascar, to be minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia. This post has been vacant since the resignation of the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, of New Jersey, in August last. It is being filled by Reid Page-Clark, white, who was sent to Monrovia, Liberia, by the State Department as charge de affaires when Mr. Hood came to the United States in February, 1926, on a leave of absence on account of illness. Clifford R. Wharton, secretary of the legation, was not put in charge because he was lacking in experience. (Continued on page 4) BOY SCOUTS TO VISIT TOMB OF WASHINGTON Scouts representing Troops 501 to 509 will take the annual pilgrimage of the Boy Scouts to Mt. Vernon on February 22. In connection with the exercises to be held by them, a wreath will be placed at the tomb of George Washington. This is the first time the Colored Scouts have paid this tribute to the Father of the Country. They will go by motor transportation. The committee in charge of transportation has arranged to take as many of the public, who may wish to go to Mt. Vernon. Tickets can be secured from Mr. H. K. Howerton at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. William L. A. Tancil. It is also planned to have motor coaches to leave from the Y at 2 p.m., on that date. WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dr. George Frazier Miller, of Brooklyn, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Neval H. Thomas, Thomas H. R. Clarke, Rev. T. S. Hartén, of Brooklyn, and William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, Mass., were the spokesmen for the delegation. The President requested that he be informed of the number of soldiers still in prison, and promised to take the matter up with the War Department. Following complaint by Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, and the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, against segregation in government departments, the President asked that he be informed as to the number of Negro employees in government service with complaints as to discrimination, saying that he believed that most of the basis for complaint had been removed. The delegation was received at the Capitol by Vice-President Dawes, who was asked to assist in having presented to the Senate a petition signed by persons from 30 States, seeking reduction of WANT SCHOOLS TO HAVE BUST OF MILHOLLAND A campaign has been inaugurated for the purpose of securing a bronze bust of the late John E. Milhooland to be placed in the library of Howard University. Mr. Milhooland was an outstanding friend of liberal education for the colored people, as well as the friend of the oppressed of all peoples. The committee to raise money for the bust is composed of Judge James A. Cobb and Neval H. Thomas, who were associated with Mr. Milhooland in work for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Mr. Milhooland was one of the founders; Mrs. Amanda Gray-Hilyer, president of the Howard Women's Clubs; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, Howard University; Mrs. Robert G. McGuire; Nolan A. Owens, president of the student council of Howard University; Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, chairman of the committee. It has been decided to make a canvass for subscriptions thus giving opportunity to all who wish to State representation in the House of Representatives proportionate to adult disfranchisement, asking legislation forbidding denial of accommodation by common carriers because of race or color, seeking punishment of peonage, and aiming to make lynching a Federal crime. Representative George R. Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts, presented the petitions of this conference in the House, Monday afternoon. They were referred to the judiciary committee. A mass meeting at the Metropolitan Baptist church Monday night was addressed by Thomas H. R. Clark, the Rev. J. L. S. Holmley, the Rev. Alice V. Winston, Neval H. Thomas, the Rev. T. S. Harten and W. Monroe Trotter. The delegation, which visited the White House and the Capitol, was Dr. George Frazier Miller, Dr. T. S. Harten, W. M. Trotter, James L. Neill, of the Equal Rights League; Melissa Saunders, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; the Rev. W. H. Jernagin of the Race Congress; Mrs. M. D.

CHILDREN DIE IN FIRE DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 17 (Preston News Service)—Driven back by the flames and unable to get beyond the door adjoining the room where the two victims slept, several persons were forced to stand and watch a fire of undetermined origin burn to death Charles and Bertram Ross, aged 2 and 4 years, respectively. It is said that the mother of the boys left the house about 9 o'clock in the morning to go to a neighbor's home and when she returned in about 15 minutes, she saw clouds of smoke pouring from the windows of her home. She summoned aid. But the flames had gained such headway that the children could not be rescued. do so to contribute toward this cause. Busts are also to be placed in the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York City; the Cheyney Training School for Teachers at Cheyney, Pa.; and, it is hoped, also at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. MU-SO-LIT CLUB HAS FESTIVE CELEBRATION MU-SO-LIT CLUB HAS FESTIVE CELEBRATION The annual Lincoln-Douglas birthday celebration at the Mu-So-Lit Club last Friday night ran the gamut from the ludicrous to the sublime. Musical literary skits, parodies written to the tunes of popular numbers, an auction sale and oratory featured the festivities of the evening. The funmaking began when Mortimer M. Harris, president of the club, introduced Perry W. Howard, National Commiteeeman for Mississippi, and presented him with a two foot square gavel. Judge James A. Cobb was presented as the first speaker of the evening. He arose with trepidation. Before Judge Cobb could begin his five minute speech, Thomas H. R. Clarke interrupted to say that he had been engaged to create atmosphere for the judge. Lieut. Clarke read the following poem: The Muse Muses "When Terrell died all of us cried, And so did Jimmy Cobb; Bold Horner wept until he slept And dreamed he had the job. "McLaurin too came into view, A likely man was he; And Gus Gray who knew how to sue, he just look at me! He said, 'Just look at me.' "Melendez King said: 'I will bring A safe and sane outlook.' But Gaskins, Ben, would bet a ten He could their geese all cook. (Continued on page 2) SCHOOL ITEMS ONCE OUT,PUT BACK IN BILL SCHOOL ITEMS ONCE OUT,PUT BACK IN BILL The District of Columbia appropriation bill, carrying provisions for segregated bathing pools and a segregated park, was reported to the Senate, Monday by the Senate appropriations committee with amendments which included items for the purchase of land for the Harrison health school and the Crummell School. These items were stricken from the bill by the House appropriations committee. Granet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools appeared before the subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee and urged restoration of these two items. He told the sub-committee that the proposed six-room addition to the Crummell School would relieve congestion in the Logan, Lovejoy, and Crummell Schools. There are two part-time classes (Continued on page 4) HOWARD MAN HONORED BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY Notification was received at Howard University last week that the authorities of Harvard University Cambridge, Mass., had awarded Charles Clifton Andrews, graduate of Howard University College of Liberal Arts, 1926, a Fellowship in Zoology. This announcement is rather unusual as the usual requirements to receive a Fellowship at Harvadvad make it necessary to spend one year in residence at Harvard before the award is made. Since graduating from Howard University, Mr. Andrews has been doing research work in Chicago, and at Howard, under the supervision of E. E. Just, Professor of Zoology. --- --- C TEN Appoin MCDUFFIE IS OVER QUALIFIED DURING STOR MCDUFFIE IS RAILROADED OVER QUALIFIED TEACHERS DURING STORMY SESSION WOMAN HITS MAN WITH MIRROR Either having no superstitions about breaking a mirror and being liable to seven years' bad luck, or else forgetting the evil omen, Jennie Williams, 26, of 65 R street, northwest, in an altercation with Amos Powers, 30, of the same address, picked up a mirror and struck him over the head, breaking the mirror and cutting Powers' head. Powers was taken to Freedmen's Hospital and treated for slight lacerations. His condition is not serious. PARTNERS FOR 20 YEARS, SUE EACH OTHER Snowden Keyes has appealed to the equity division of the District Supreme Court for an adjustment of his partnership rights in the poolroom business, which he and William B. Moorman have conducted at 1819 Fourteenth street, northwest, since August 28, 1908. He asks the court to decree that the property in which their business is run, be held in trust for the partnership and to require Mr. Moorman to convey an undivided half interest in it to him or to give him a lease for the period of his natural life at a rental of $00 a month. He also asks for an accounting between him and Mr. Moorman. According to his petition, this property was rented by the partnership until Mr. Moorman purchased it February 11, 1920, without notice to him. Mr. Moorman then demanded that he pay $55 a month out of his share of the profits as one half of the rental, which he has done, he says, although the place had previously rented for that sum. Within the past two months Mr. Keyes claims, Mr. Moorman has offered to sell him his interest in the business, provided he would pay a rental of $200 a month January 15 last his rental share was advanced to $75 a month, Mr. Keyes states. On January 21 through his attorney, Mr. Keyes asserted his claim to an undivided half interest in the premises. The law firm of Houston and Houston has been retained to defend Mr. Moorman in this suit. TO BUILD NEW EIGHT-ROOM BELL SCHOOL The President last Wednesday transmitted to the House supplemental estimates of appropriations for the District of Columbia containing an item of $25,000 for a new school building to replace the old Bell School. The land on which the old Bell School is located will be taken over by the United States when land is acquired for the purpose of enlarging and relocating the Botanic Gardens. The sum of $50,000 of this appropriation will be to purchase land in the vicinity of the Randall Junior High School, and the sum of $175,000 will be for the erection of a building on this land for the accommodation of the pupils attending the old Bell School. The proposed new building will contain eight rooms and a combination gymnasium and assembly hall. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Botomac 1667. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE MPLE tment RAILROADED ED TEACHERS RMY SESSION A schism developed in the Board of Education at its meeting in the Franklin School building last Wednesday over the appointment of a head, of the department of modern languages in the colored divisions of the public schools. After an acrimonious discussion the board approved the recommendation of C. C. McDuffie, a teacher of languages in the Dunbar High School, to fill the position. This recommendation was made by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and had the approval of Superintendent Frank W. Ballou. The vote in favor of the Wilkinson recommendation was 3 to 2. Henry E. Gilligan, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and Mrs. H. L. Hodgkins voted for the recommendation. Mrs. William C. McNeill and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett against it. Two whites joining with Dr. Johnson to put McDuffie over. However, the colored board members (Continued on page 2) MAN BEATEN AND ROBBED After getting a package of cigarette and paying for them with a twenty-dollar bill, Arthur J. MoTen, 1718 Oregon avenue, was beaten unconscious and robbed a few feet from the store between U. and T. streets, on Seventeenth, a about 8:30 o'clock Tuesday night. He had entered the store, where he trades regularly, and purchased some fruit. He asked the salesman how much was his bill. Alert being told that the bookkeeper was not in, he purchased the cigarettes and paid for them out of a twenty-dollar bill. The fruit, he had charged to his account. At the time, there was another man in the store, who was also buying some cigarettes. Two of his companions awaited outside. When Moten reached the street, one of the two asked for a little change to get something to eat. Moten answered: "I haven't any money, man. None to give away, and none to lend." "Oh, yes, you have!" was the reply. And the three followed him. After walking a few steps, one of them grabbed him by his coat, another cuffed him across the head with his fist, which stunned him, another struck him on the forehead; and then a blow with some hard instrument knocked him unconscious. Moten was unconscious from that time until after midnight. When he had revived, he found that the money which he had had, amounting to $58 was gone, as was his package of cigarettes. He reported the assault and robbery to the police. MAN MADDENED FIRES AT WIFE TWICE, MISSES Angered beyond control Saturday night, Simms Holland attempted to kill his wife, Isabelle Holland, both of whom live at 2418 Seventeenth street, northwest. He fired two shots, neither of which took effect, however. The altercation occurred in the rear of their home. Holland was arrested and charged with carrying concealed weapons and discharging firearms. TWO MU-SO-LIT HAS FESTIVE CELEBRATION (Continued from page 1) "From out the West, Beatty, the best, Said, I will take the job!' Then charges came on every name, Just like they rained on Bob. "The candidates all once had mates With a robber or a tot; Diogenes said look at these, And put his lantern out. "And then it was that Jimmy Cobb Took one long chance for fame He showed that Cobb would rhyme He showed that Cobb would rhyme with job Which wasn't any shame. "Then Coolidge he saw thru this plea. And said, 'Tll name you now, Since all are thieves and me it grieves. And thus he closed the row." Lincoln and Douglass Before Judge Cobb concluded his remarks on Lincoln as an abolitionist; a bell notified him that his time had expired. A quartet, composed of Lieut. Clarke, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, William Wilkinson and W. E. Lew, drowned his closing sentence in "Didn't He Ramble." "Abraham Lincoln as a Moral Genius" was the subject of the remarks of Kelly Miller. Following his eulogy, a minute's silent tribute was paid to the memory of Lincoln and Douglass. Stereopticon slides of the Emancipator and his compatriot were shown. Perry Howard introduced Judge Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia, Pa. The judge yielded the floor to J. T. Settle and Mr. Clarke, who engaged in a contest for poet laureate of the club. Mr. Settle was awarded the laurel wreath for his reading of a descriptive poem on the annual Howard-Lincoln football classic. The poetic description of the entry into the stadium of Judge Cobb with the heiress of the Madam C. J. Walker millions and the witnessing of the kick-off by Perry W. Howard in "a high silk hat" were the high notes in the winning poem. "Bye, Bye, Coolidge" "Bye, Bye, Coolidge," written to the strains of "Bye, Bye, Black Bird," served as a further introduction of Judge Henry. It detailed his desertion of the Coolidge camp and support of John W. Davis in the last Presidential campaign and his appointment to a Philadelphia judgeship after his return to the Republican fold by Governor Pinchot. Judge Henry sketched parallel experiences in the lives of Lincoln and Douglass, and bespoke for both an equal glory. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, was introduced. George Henry Murray announced that a lady outside desired to say something. He was told to usher her in. She was the president of the Parents League and wanted to have Mr. Wilkinson ousted from the school system. This "lady" was revealed as Morrissey S. Koonce. Boquet of Vegetables A package was delivered for Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, a member of the Board of Education, with instructions to Perry Howard to open it before its presentation. It was a bouquet of vegetables—carrots, beets, celery, onions and paprika—sent with the compliments, love and admiration of Captain Julius L. Peyser, former member of the Board of Education, who has attacked Dr. Johnson for his conduct on the school board. Mr. Wilkinson spoke of the results of Negro History Week in the public schools. "Joshua at de Battle o' Jerico" was the remain that served to introduce Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, who emphasized the intent of Lincoln to abolish slavery as well as preserve the Union. Auction Sale The auction sale of the club property, subject to 13 trusts, all of which were past due, was interrupted with a court order presented to the auctioneers, Addison N. Scurlock and Robert A. Pelham, by Major West A. Hamilton. This order enjoined the sale, but Mr. Pelham decided that it did not prevent his selling the personal property of the club piece by piece. Perry W. Howard was the successful bidder for a volume of "Revell." A box containing pledges given to the club secretary, J. C. Burlls, by members in arrears with their dues was sold to Mortimer M. Harris after Dr. A. M. Curtis had objected to the reading of the names of the members, some of whom were 47 months behind. A Parody The toastmaster introduced William Monro Trotter of Boston. Mr. Pelham read the words of a parody, the first stanzas of which were as follows: "Trotter he went The President To see one day in June, His tale of Woe Cal let him blow And this was Cal's sweet tune: "Gradually, just gradually, I'll abish segregation Gradually, just gradually, You'll be some pumpkins in this nation." The arrival of the White House spokesman, impersonated by Henry P. Slaughter, was announced. Thru him, the President having in mind his certain election to a third term, submitted to the Mu-So-Lit Club for ratification the following changes in the administrative personnel: To be wet nurse to the third party, Thomas H. R. Clarke; director of prohibition, G. Fred Cook, a man thoroughly in sympathy with the Elekteenth Amendment: commissioner of education, Robert G. Ashton, Mu-So-Lit Club porter; to pose with the President on all occasions, Mortimer M. Harris; to settle the location of the white people during the race riot, Robert A. Pelham and Dr. William Wilson (Marquis of Queensbury rules); to wear knee breeches, silk hose and all other evidences of aristocracy, "Dr. Armond W. Scott; collector of internal revenue with special reference to club finances, James C. Burlls; to make all the short speeches, Whitefield McKinlay; to make all the long speeches, Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall; director of the mint with special reference to juleps, Augustus W. Gray; to tell Bible stories, Morrissey S. Koonce; official fence straddler, collector of Sanhedrins and self effacers, Kelly Miller; dean of the White House correspondents, Louis R. Lauter; fellow delegates to the peace conference, Robert L. Vann and Weldon Johnson; president of the "sinker club," Dr. D. I. Renfro; chairman of the ukelele commission, John L. Polk; to keep out of politics and wear all derbys, Perry W. Howard; to be "Sum" Wormley's goat, W. L. D. Wilkinson, and to condemn all Ford cars, George Young. Trotter Speaks "One was as remarkable an American as the other," said William Monroe Trotter in speaking of Lincoln and Douglass. "They both came from the bottom. They were both self-taught and self-made. Lincoln rose the higher, but Douglass went the longer distance because he began even the lower down. They were both great servants of their country. They both helped equally to rid the country of its greatest blot—human slavery. One was the benefactor of our race; the other our own liberator." After Dr. M. O. Dumas had been introduced, George Henry Murray announced the presence of a strolling minstrel outside. Mr. Koonce in disguise rendered two guitar and harmonica numbers, playing both instruments at the same time. Dr. Dumas gave personal recollections of Douglass. The Howard University alma mater song, "Howard, Fair Howard" was sung when Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, was presented. He was given the Chautauqua salute. After an interruption by Harold Haynes, in the role of the club chef, describing the "hams" of the billiard room. Dr. Johnson smoke Mordecai Johnson Speaks "The thing that made Lincoln and Douglass do what they did," said Dr. Johnson, "was the vision of a country by which they were persuaded—a country in which all men would be free, all men would know the truth and all men would control themselves by the love of the truth and in the interest of the truth. "Such men," he said, "are always the gifts of God to the people. Their bodies pass away, but the thing for which they stood is always alive. The country for which they labored is never fully at hand. It is always approaching and always there are moral evils in the way of its coming. "The men who truly love Douglass and Lincoln," he declared, "will not be content to enjoy that part of the country which has already been achieved, but they will be disturbed because of that part of the country which has not yet arrived." The scope and purposes of the club and the program of his administration were explained by Mortimer M. Harris. The recitation of Lincoln's Gettysburg address closed the celebration.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1927 MCDUFFIE RAILROADED OVER QUALIFIED TEACHERS voted 2 to 1 against the appointment. Six Candidates There were six candidates for the position. Four of them are teachers in the Dunbar High School. Charles F. Carusi, member of the board, who did not vote, stated that three of them were outstanding. "Two of them have academic qualifications exceedingly impressive," Mr. Carusi said, "and the administrative officers might have recommended the selections of either of them but they were lacking in the qualifications needed to secure co-operation with the teachers who were in this department." Rev. Bennett Resents These remarks drew from Rev. Bennett a scathing attack upon the action of the administrative officers. He charged that the school officials had made a fetish of academic requirements, encouraging teachers to take extra courses, but in this case where a woman had remarkably fine equipment she was turned down because of temperament and independence. He denounced this action as unfair to those who have given time to improving themselves. Rev. Bennett was joined in opposing the recommendation by Mrs. McNeil, who declares that such action would break down the That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Maragret Burton of Kansas City.

It kept me from being popular; it kept me from being happy—nothing seemed to do any good—then I tried Hi-Ja. My hair started to grow like magic—almost two inches a month for a while. Soon it was so long, soft and silky that it reached my shoulders and was easy to comb. Men began to pay attention to me and to seek my company. Popularity and good times were mine at last. What a difference, and oh! how happy I am. I wish every short haired girl to know of my experience and try Hi-Ja."

Each team is well organized and both have very strong combinations.

Coach Perkins at Dunbar feels confident that come what may, he will be ready for Armstrong, Mon- day when the second game of the annual Interscholastic Champion- ship series gets under way in the Armstrong gym. On Wednesday, February 9, the Orange and Blue quint literally ran roughshod over. their lighter and greener rivals and won 40-10. Immediately following the decisive defeat, however, the Red and Black ‘mentor gave an opinion that the contest coming Monday will be different. Since that time the Dun- bar coach has been laboring. dili- gently and none.of his charges can be persuaded to say that the clash will not be a fight to the finish. Beginning at 3:15 Monday after- noon, then, the prides of Armstrong will’ meet the Dunbar idols on the former's floor, in the second game of the 1926-27 scholastic championship series.

Hug man s +s ¢ Sl at ass i: : CONWAY'S CHECKS WIN OPENER It looks very much like the Car- lisles are going to even an old old score with the Alcoes this season. Conway's cohorts drew first blood in the opener of the series last Thursday night and just ran cir cles around the City Champs to the tune of 42-27, The Colonnade was fairly well filled and though the Checks ‘en- tered the fray 7 to 5 favorites there were plenty of Alco backers. Each team had its array of fol- lowers, but as is usually the case when ‘champion meets challenger the Taylorites had the better por- tion of the rooting section. Carlisles ‘Take Lead Conway’s. ‘and Taylor's quint jumped off to a big lead and were ahead 7-1 before the champs could gamer a field basket. Kenner caged one for the Alcoes and his team rallied. It was during this spurt, which brought the Purple and White into a tie at 11 all, that Judge Smith's’ men resembled a machine for the only time during the forty minutes, At this point, however, the seem- igly disspirited Aleo quint was a- gain flagged and when the gong sounded for the half, the checks had them groggy under a 19-11 lead. When the second period opened it appeared that the Black and White five had instructions to “cut loose.” Henderson took three suc- cessive taps-off, dribbled up to the basket and shot in a shorter length ‘of time than it takes to tell about it and from then on the champions didn’t seem to know “what it was all about.” Aleoes Outclassed Captain Turner ail‘bat threw up his hands in despair, Coach Smit stopped chewing his cigar—ean you imagine that?—and Manager. Hill started walking. All this while the ‘debonair “Matt” knelt on one knee and put on the “desert sign.” The Purple and ‘White mentor substituted player after player, but all to no avail. It was a Carlisle night and they were not to be de- nied. Punch-drunk and bewildered, the bell, to the end one sided tus- sle, was the only thing that saved the Aleoes from a compltte kayo. Miller and Cupid handled the game in fine style. — eae a eee Carlisles gfgplAleoes g fg p Davisif ..5 010/Turnerf ..0 1 1 Hilf ....3 2 8/Suterrf ...1 2 4 Hender'nc 5 111/Harris,c ...1 2 4 Jones,lg ...2 0 4Hopesig ..4 08 Simms,rg .1 2 4/Kenner,rg .1 0 2 Hawkinslf’ 10 2Whitediré «2 1 5 Brad'ick,rg 1 1 3)Gravesjlg .0 11 Smithrf ..0 0 Cae re +102 Totals .18 642} Totals .10 727 ASBURY PARK, N.

MANCHESTERS FINISH GOOD WEEK ‘The boys who sport the Blue and White of the Manchester Athletic Club have a creditable record be- hind them, in that through a-game- a-day period of five days last week they won three of their contests.

The Morganites have one vic- tory to their credit already, hav- ing defeated the Hill team 24-19 on their visit to tlese parts Janu- ary 8. However, since that time Coach Burr has been working di- ligently and he feels confident that he has at last struck the right com- bine. Morgan Good Man for man the locals compare favorably with any college team hereabouts, but for some reason or other Coach Drew's Bears is always the better machine. Spears is out- shone by his rival Jones, because the Lanky Oriole is without rea- uouable doubt the best pivot man in present day basketball. This, of course though, does not mean that Spears is not a great center—he is. There is no more aggressive and consistant forward, to be found, than Coates, while’ Berry and his merits are always. spoken highly of. Bundrant and Trigg or Hill form a mighty good defensive pair sind can be depended on for a cred- itable account of themselves.

Holland, the Manchester main- stay, was again their best player, while the Shiloh team played as such, no player outshining another. However, Cherry Reds Atkinson made a beautiful circus shot to put the game on ice.

The Ohio team is no doubt the greatest team to come east since Cum Posey brought his world fa- mous Loendi here 7 years ago. On the squad are such stars as Pete Willett, ex-Wilberforee mainstay, and Rock Anderson, formerly with the Loendi Club. Though he is still a youngster, Anderson is con- sidered the sensation of Western basketball. The Elk aggregation has yet to taste defeat at the hands of a colored quint. - On their trip west last month, the Baltimore Athenians were downed without trouble by the Clevelanders. “The Cleveland Elks,” said Bill Harris, Athenian manager on his return, “is the best colored team in the country barring none. They have height, speed; and ability which is hard to vat.” Last month the colored five play- ed the Cleveland Rosenblums, 1926 world champions and winners of the American Professional League first half championship this year. The Rosenblums won after an ex- tra five-minute period. With rehearsals held weekly, since October, the members of the Birney Choral Society are now ready for a series of social con- certs already scheduled for vari- ous churches of the city. Work of a permanent nature will soon commence in that part of Bar- ry Farm east of Nichols avenue.

LIBERIA AWAKENS i the Jaecesen Sahn’ eden talk Obie President King of Liberia has issued an ultimatum to the Ameri ean Church. He has declared fo1 the religious freedom of the Liber- in—for the breaking away from the dominance of foreign power. ‘We have viewed with alarm this sudden move and we have wondered if such is our reward for our sacri- ficial effort in Liberia’s’ behalf. On the other hand what has prompted President King to this decisive action? Was there some- thing vitally wrong with our mis- sionary activity? ‘That side of the question merits our own serious attention, It has been nearly a century since a wooden bark left these shores for that distant land. Ex- slayes—given the experiment of freedom—were drifting down to- Ward the equator, to that land of Promise—to Liberia, Those free- men built their homes along the river, and their farms spread along the shores. A germ of life had been planted, a germ that had been tinged by.a Christian civilization, and nurtured by a new-born hope. And this coast line—of civilized folk—stretched farther and farther along the'cape. Hach step was by struggle and the surviyors were few. But out of this, great. test came a sturdy people, a people -tempered by the broiling tropic ‘sun, and ready to face conditions as they were. During this struggle, our mis- sionaries appeared in Liberia; and in this‘ work, verierable men have laid down their fives. “Much good work has been done in Liberia; and this work hag ‘been commended, even by President King. But what can be said of our mis- sion work of today? It has been weighed in the balance and found ‘wanting. ‘The Liberian has had just cause to be suspicious of the white mis- sionary; for he bas usually proved himself to be an economic explor- er, seeking adyantages for his own country. On the other hand, our missionaries have been well-mcan- ing, but usually incompetent for the task that was before them. ‘They have known little of the hab- its and customs of the African, and almost nothing at all coucerning the great underlying and motiva- ting causes of African life in gen- eral. Our missionaries have been largely psalm-singing preachers, without pulpits over here or in ‘other words, misfits. We must ac- Knowledge the capable workers; but such workers have been only too few. ‘What is the matter? The mat- ter is—we have been teaching the Liberian how to die. The Liberian wants to know how to live. Liberia has been waiting for our missions to teach her how to open up her hills for the minerals, to harness her water-falls, to develop her rib- ber. We have replied, “Watch and pray!” Liberians have ceased to wait. ‘They have said, “What you will not teach us, we will learn ourselves Your teaching is a hindrance to us, not a help.” Are we sure that they are wrong? It can be that we have had a mis. conception of our own religion. It may be that we ourselves have bees given talents that we do not use. There are young engineers amon’ ux who have nothing to do ove here, There are other young mer who could do much to help thei brothers in Liberia to develop’ th God-sent riches, that lie useless be. neath those hills. But even wher such young men feel the call o: service, are they sent? No! Or dained ministers are sent; an these ministers do much preaching and little teaching. But Liberi: ewakens! BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS ‘The term of office of three mem- bers of the Board of Education will expire June 20. The members in- volved are Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, Mrs. William H. Herron, and when appointed, the successor of E. C. Graham, recently resigned. ‘The matter. of the appointment ‘of members of the board is sur: Founded with such secrecy that it i. too early to call attention ‘the approaching expiration of } terms of members. The ap- fing power, in the past, has little or no interest in what the parents, who send their chil- dren to the public schools, think as to the qualifications of persons who are to administer the system. We have no personal difference with any of the colored members of the board, and what is said here is not intended, and should not. be construed, to be a criticism of, or a reflection upon any of them. At. tention is however called to the manner of their selection, to the concealment and mystery which surrounded their candidacies, to the fact that their names had not been in the minds of any considerable group of our people as being desir- able persons for the positions, and that there had been no general ex- pression of desire for their appoint ment. It is not a departure from the truth to say that in tle majority of instances it was not even known that their. names had been under consideration, until their appoint- ments were announced. This is the fault of the appointing power. The reason for the existence of a board instead of a single head to administer the school system is ‘that the school system is a greater ‘burden upon the taxpayer than any other agency of the District gov- feeifaent and touches the lives and ‘homes of practically the entire poaton, The members of the board are, accordingly, intended to ‘be representative of the public opinion of the community, and not representative merely as being susceptible of a certain racial or religious grouping. A person ap- pointed a member of the board should be appointed not because he may be classified as belonging to a certain group, but because of known ‘expressions of the group concerning the person appointed, there is reasonable ground to be- lieve that he is representative of its opinion and interests. This is what is meant by representative government. It is the apparent disregard of this principle by the ‘appointing power at which criti- ccism is leveled. _ Very much is being spoken and written at the present time about ‘influences at work to overthrow “our representative form of gov- ernment.” No representative form of government exists in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Some vestige of it was supposed to have been pre- pace in the Board of Education; but even that shadow of repre- sentative government is made a nullity by the mode of exercise of the appointive power. The judges are certainly under no legal obliga- ‘tion to appoint a person solely be- ‘cause he is numerously indorsed; ‘but in all fairness and good con- science they should not make ap- pointments of persons to the Board of Education, unless, at least, they make known in advance the names ‘of those they have under consider- ‘ation, and from among which they expect to make selections. The public is at least entitled to this much consideration, LINCOLN-DOUGLASS It is’ gratifying to note the growing interest from year to year in the observance by our group of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The records show that the form- er was born in Kentucky, Febru- ary 12, 1809. There is no record of the birth of the latter. Doug- lass himself remarked at a meet- ing held in his honor, that there were no “records of the births of slaves. Slavery had no geneslogi- cal trees for slaves.” And then with the perennial and unquench- able humor mixed with melancholy which the circumstances of his life stamped upon his mind, he said: “I consider myself my race's valentine, and I will, therefore se- lect St. Valentine's Day as my birthday.” In his “Bondage and Freedom,” Douglass tells us that he was horn about the year 1817. From these sourees originated the custom of celebrating the 1ith of February cach year as his birthday. Lincoln, the statesman, in the welter of war, found in the war power of the Constitution a legal method of emancipating the slaves held within the territory then ix rebellion against the Union, None of the slaves in Maryland, Ken- tucky and Missouri were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation ‘The same is we a to slaves in certain portions Of Virginia, South Carolina, and Louisiana. Slavery was abolished in its entirety by TEACH MUSIC TO CHILDREN Music, once considered a fad, has become a fixture in schools, The importance of music in the training of children is everywhere recog- nized. Ourvenerated three R's are no more important, for with réad- ing, writing and arithmetic must be an appreciation of the melodies which nature and all creation sings. ‘Training in the schools isn’t enough, because: many times over crowded classes do not permit the prodding of individual deficiencies. Many pupils graduate with a mea- yer theoretical knowledge of music that is soon forgotten once they leave the confines of the school. It is not regarded of sufficient im- portance by the powers to be to make it'a major subject in the curriculum of many schools, Music should be taught in every home, It isn’t the privilege and the possession of the rich these days; it belongs to all the people. ~~ Every child will benefit treniend- ously by a kuowledge of musiz since it aids in making students more éfficient. From an exhaustive analysis of public school children’s werk in a certain eastern munici- pality it has been found out that those who study music are three per cent higher in their general scholastic avetages than the nun- musie-studying pupils, Still some people think that’ music study hinders instead of helping the pupil. “Some say, “Oh they have so many books to. study that they| ‘don’t have enough time to add mu- sic study to their other work,” and such twaddling they carry on ‘about it, Only people of narrow vision would ever make such an assertion. Weigh this statement: please: “The average for, the non-music pupils (in that eastern city) is 828 per cent, while for the music pupils it is 85 per cent.” | Ability to play some instrument. will be of priceless value in after life, not only in giving expression. to the inherent sense of harmony, but in more material ways. A local music firm made this statement in an advertisement recently: “very child is born into the world with a natural love for mu- sic. Many of the happiest years of its life ‘are filled with ‘song and story. Then comes a day— alas, too frequently, when music is all but forgotten! ‘The child has grvwn into young manhood ‘or womanhood, the duties of life have become a necessity, time, patienc> |and environment. for study and practice are lacking and what | might have been a bubbling spring from which ‘to draw happiness anc | inspiration has turned into an arid waste of disappointment and re- gret! ‘The ability to play the piano is a priceless accomplishment, the truth of which is more apprecia- ted by those who cannot than by those who do play. Ask yoursolf?”” | Preferably the piano js the in- strument to begin with because it is the simplest of all to play and to understand, yet it transcends all in the scope it offers the player, ‘To play it was once a distinction. Sixty per cont of the children grow- ing into manhood and womanhood have opportunity to learn in these days. They should not be permitted to neglect this great privilece. Mothers on whom falls the re- sponsibility of seeing that little son or daughter practices faithfully realize when their children are im- proving or when they make mis- takes, Therefore, they are able to assist in the development of the mastery of the piano. In only a few instruments. is this possible. the thirteenth Amendment, toward which the Emancipation Procla- mation was a logical step. As just remarked, Lincoln was a statesman, one who deals with things as he finds them. Douglass was a reformer, an agitator, one who finds that things are out of joint, and feels that ‘he has a “call” to set them right. The reformer, the agitator, creates the condi- ‘tions; the statesman deals with ‘them, and from them shapes his ‘tneasures and his policies. | ‘The agitation for the abolition of slavery was a cause, if not the cause, of the Civil War. Lincoln, always an anti-slavery man, did not approve agitation for the abo- lition of slavery. He thought it endangered the Union; and it did. Hence, while he desired that slav- ‘ery should come to an end, he was unwilling to run the risk of dis- rupting the Union to accomplish that result. Douglass was an abo- litionist, and was started in his career by William Lloyd Garrison, the advocate of “immediate eman- cipation.” These men and their co-laborers created the moral fer- ment which challenged the wis- dom, the patience and the states- manship of Abraham Lincoln, How appropriate it is then that the birthdays of Lincoln and~ of Douglass should be. jointly com- memorated by the Negroes of the United States. Such a commemo- vaticn shows the value of both the statesman and the agitator. Each is the complement of the other The work of the one is a vindica tion of the work of the other. His. torically and morally, the name: of LincoIn and Douglass symbol ize, for the Negro, the utility o! statesmanship and the power o agitation. 2a) ‘THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1927 Not only that, but-owning a piano tenes thought in’ the minds of the heads of families, because of its value, beauty and skilled handiwork. ds : Elementary composition of music is taught by. use of the piano.

I returned here. “Mr, Warren had previously told me that if anything ever hap- pened to him, that I send for a cousin who lives in Arizona.” Here she paused for a second, Then Bob broke in, “Why, Mrs. Warren, this is indeed sudden and mystifying. But, my chums here,” pointing toward the troop, “have pledged to help the Professor to ae his stolen plans’ back.” He looked intently at the group, “and now comes the news of your hus- band’s disappearance, I guess we'll take over the whole case.” Turning toward his chums he asked, “How about it, boys?” They ,instantly replied | with aa “Aye! After getting the description ef the two foreign-looking men who had been asking Professor Warren about work in his labora- tory, they rose and prepared to ave. Returning to Bob's house they retired to the “den.” Resting for a moment: Bob began to distribute his orders to the boys. This fin- ished, they spent a few minutes in talking and cutting pranks. Then Bob dismissed them: The following morning Bob read the black headlines of the morn- ing paper: “Prominent. Professor Disappears.” As he laid the pa- per down, the telephone buzzed. ‘Hello,” he answered, “yes, this is Bob,—why hello, is that you, Mrs. Warren?” : “Yes,” she quickly said, “I have news for you. ‘Those same two orsign men tried to bribe Jen- cins, my hired man, to tell where ny husband kept the key to his aboratory.”” “Phew!” exclaimed Bob, “they ire quite bold. Well, all right, hat'll be all. Good day, Madam.” That evening, as wsual, the boys ill came over. Bob then related he news. “Humph,” exclaimed Sill Farson, “that’s nothing, our wo centers of attraction have ween watching Mrs. Gioania; the ruit lady who owns the store on he corner, all day long.” Bob thoughtfully gazed at Bill. Then Alex Mason breathlessly ushed in and plumped himself in 1 chair. “Oh, oh, oh,” he reathed, those same tivo men fol- owed me all the way here!” (Continued next week) THE HIDDEN TREASURE By Carl Armstead, Age 12 Once there was a hoy whose name was Willie. He was a clever boy and liked to seek adventure. One day at school Willie told his comrades what he had planned to do, and his comrades shouted for joy. That evening when he went home he told his mother and she said that it was all right, but that he was not to go in strange places. When the day came for him to go, all of his comrades whom he had invited came to his house and they started on their journey. They traveled a long while until they saw a ship. They got on this ship and traveled and traveled un- til they came to an island. On this island were hones and strange figures. The boys were frightened at first, but Willie told them to stand by’ him. ‘The boys' courage returned to them and after looking around, they found a cave. It was a large cave with iron bars across the entrance. At this opening was a rope, and a sign which read, ' “DANGER! BE CAREFUL!” The boys were curious so wher Willie told them to follow him they did so. He pulled the string and there appeared a queer-looking little man. Willie said, “Where i: the treasure?” The man said “Walk in.” When Willie and his friends en tered the cave, they saw in a cor ner a trunk. Willie went to the trunk and opened it and there wa the treasure, He gathered it up an ny ‘it to his comrades who tool it and ran out of the cave. Willis attempted to follow them but a army of little men surrounded hin feean io ery and the Coxe tate ery next thi ‘that he knew was that his teothe “You, Willie, get out of tha ‘Willie jumped out of bed an pesid, "Som dreamt I'm gi other called” fore thos lite Maa ee TRIBUNITE’S PLEDGE 1.

SOME INVENTORS By Letraies Siddeetisy T will tell of the Negro as an in- yentor and his inventions, Some of the Negro inventors are Blijah McCoy of Detroit, Mich., who in- vented the lubricating cup, which steadily supplies oil to machinery, which is used by all railroad sys- tems of America. Christopher Stevens, in 1917, invented a glass bomb for military purposes. L. C. Hayes of Charlotte, N. C, invented an airship stablizer. ‘Another inventor is. Julius Hart, who invented three types of war bombs during the last war, for which he received $15,000; and William Berry invented an electri- cally driven submarine, also a slot machine attached to piano play- ers. Benjamin Banneker made the first clock in. America, and Ganville ‘T. Woods invented ‘many electrical things. ‘Thus the Negro has done his part in inventions and helping his race.

GRACE WRITES Dear Editor: Ihave watched and read with interest. your col- umns of the “Kiddies’ Corner.” 1 was a bit disappointed at not sce- ing more about, as I think, the two greatest men of the month, name- ly, Douglass and Lincoln. ‘I think it’ must have been an. oversight on the part of many of our little readers and contributors not to have sent in an article to you about either or both of them, I am wondering what you will spring on us next. The “Printer’s Pi” was’ very in- teresting, also the story of Robert and the car fare. Now, dear Editor, I must close with saying you always have an expectant. reader in, GRACE PRATHER(14) ROBERT AND THE CONDUCTOR This story was completed by dustin Plummer and another Tri- hunite at 128 M street, southeast. The stories here efititles the writers to fifty cents each. Come to the office and ask for Mr. Fra- zier. - Robert and the Conductor One day, Robert’s father gave him twenty-five cents and said, “Bobbie, I am going to let you go to Alexandria, Va., on the trolley car. I will meet you at the sta- tion there, and we will go to Mt. Vernon in Uncle Jim's automo- bile.” Before Robert would board the trolley he asked the conductor what the fare was. The conductor aid, “It is twenty cents for chil- dren under twelve, and forty cents for peisons over twelve years old.” Robert was thirteen years old, but he was small for his age. (Completed by Justin Plummer) He said to the conductor, “I want a ticket for one under twelve,” at the same time laugh- ing to himself and putting the change in his pocket. He thought, “(put this in my bank when I get, home.” At the time appointed he met his father and uncle. They enjoyed the trip and Bobbie was financially ahoad. Bobbie went home and ate dinner, then he read a few books and went to bed. The next morning he put the ‘nickel in his bank and kept on sav- ing. Eons by Unknown Kiddie) I would imagine that Robert told the conductor that he was twelve years old, If Robert had not told this false- hood he would have missed the au tomobile ride that was waiting for ‘him at the station in Alexendria.
