E. --- SUI TEACHERS CH ACID THROWING Board Refuses R McDuffie Appoi Married Wome JES IS CHARGED WITH ROWING, AND VICIO uses Reconsideration of Appointment; May Bar Women from Normal TEACHERS CHARGED WITH SHOPLIFTING ACID THROWING, AND VICIOUS CONDUCT A thorough investigation into charges involving three public school teachers was promised by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, following the meeting of the board of education in the Franklin School building Wednesday afternoon. These charges were referred to Mr. Wilkinson for investigation by the board upon the recommendation of the committee on complaints and grievances, of which Dr. J. Hayden Johnson is the chairman. He is to make a report regarding them at the next board meeting. One of the teachers (their names were not made public) is charged "vicious conduct" and the third with shoplifting. Dr. Johnson, also reported that charges against Willie M. Menard a teacher in the Dunbar High School, had been given to the United States Attorney. This action was taken when the complainants against Mr. Menard failed to appear at the meeting of the committee. The committee decided that the charges were of such a grave nature that they could not be ignored. Mr. Menard was suspended February 21 and the papers promptly given to the United States Attorney. The complainants against Mr. Menard are Miss Coleman, her guardian, Mrs. Townes, and Mr. Toyer. They declined to attend the committee meeting. The board declined to reconsider its approval of the appointment of Clyde C. McDuff as head of the department of modern languages in divisions 10 to 13. Mrs. Anna E. Murray appeared before the board and asked that it reconsider its action. Mrs. Murray also asked the board to bar married women from attending the Miner Normal School when it reorganizes the normal schools of the District of Columbia. She also requested the board to consider the elimination of married women as teachers in the high schools. Declaring that 200 children of kindergarten age had been denied of that training, Mrs. Murray asked that steps be taken at once to give them the privileges of kindergarten training. The board referred these re- (Continued on page 7) DR.

Mr. Carter will accept the appointment. It was at first thought that he would decline, preferring to remain in the consular service.

Mr. Carter succeeds Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, who resigned last August on account of illness.

SAVOY SAYS WIFE SLANDERED HIM THRU PAPER DR. SAVOY SAYS WIFE SLANDERED HIM THRU PAPER Alleging that statements of his wife, Mrs. Valerie Turner Savoy, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 1328 Montello avenue, northwest, have greatly injured him in his private life and in his profession. Dr. Walter Sanford Savoy, a physician and member of the Freedmen's Hospital staff, filed suit against her last Saturday in the District Supreme Court for $10,000 damages for libel. He declares that Mrs. Savoy caused to be published in The Washington Tribune on January 28 last. a statement that he had commenced to indulge in intoxicants to the extent hat he was habitually drunk. Denies Charges Dr. Savoy denies that he has been or even has been suspected of having been guilty of habitual drunkenness. He asserts that he had deservedly obtained the good opinion of all his neighbors and all other persons to whom he was known personally and as a physician. The statements of his wife, he says, brought him into public scandal and disgrace and as a result a number of persons believe that he is an habitual drunkard and have refused to have any business or acquaintance with him. The alleged statement of Mrs. Savoy was made in connection with a divorce proceeding instituted by her in Fairfax County, Virginia. In an interview with reporters she stated that the court had indicated that she would be granted an absolute divorce on the grounds of non-support, cruelty and habitual drunkenness. Wife Claims Home Mrs. Turner-Savoy claimed that she built their home at 1328 Montello avenue, northeast, and that her husband contributed nothing toward it, and his name was omitted from the deed. Union his failure to induce her to make him a joint owner, she alleged, he became infuriated and burnt her marriée and some of her clothes. He also cut marks into and otherwise maired a large portion of the remaining furniture, she stated. Dr. Walter Stanford Savoy and Miss Valerie Turner, one of the Turner twins, were married in Elkton, Md., March 29, 1922. Their romance ended in the divorce mills of Virginia.

FREEDMEN'S NURSES ASK REMOVAL OF MISS IRWIN, THEIR SUPERINTENDENT THIEVES ENTER CHURCH, STEAL HIDDEN MONEY THIEVES ENTER CHURCH, STEAL HIDDEN MONEY By Samuel H. Lacy John Teamus, sexton at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Nineteenth and I streets, northwest, was robbed last Monday night, by someone who has successfully eluded every effort of the police toward apprehension. Mr. Teamus, who resides at 1118 Nineteenth street, has served in the capacity of sexton at the church for over twenty years. His custom of hiding money in a cupboard in the basement of the church, was believed to be known by no one other than himself, and the elderly gentleman was astounded when on Tuesday morning on entering the church study he discovered that the cupboard in which he has been placing and keeping money had been ransacked and robbed. Believing that the crime must have been committed by someone closely connected with the sexton who knew his habits, police arrested John Teamus, Jr., 20-year-old son of the man and held him three days on investigation. After a severe grilling administered by police which failed to get any information from the youth, the boy returned home pretty badly beaten. Besides taking the money the thief or thieves took pictures and mirrors from their hangings on the walls, but these articles were not carried off. Detective J. A. Jackson is working on the case. be found. The police disbelieved her story of having fallen out of the window, and the doctor states she had been drinking. She returned home in a taxi. FOR LIBEL The removal of Miss Emma Mae Irwin from the position of supervising nurse of Freedmen's Hospital has been demanded by the nurses in a petition signed by them and forwarded to Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, it was learned Wednesday. A copy of this petition has been sent to Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, under whose department the hospital comes. This action of the student nurses in the outgrowth of the decision of the board of regents of New York State depying the graduates of Freedmen's Hospital nurse training school from qualifying in that State on the ground that the hospital is lacking in personnel and equipment to meet the requirements of that state. The student nurses insist that the fault lies in the supervision and hold Miss Irwin responsible. They also charge that she misled them in connection with the action of the New York board of regents. They submitted a statement of their grievances. Unfair treatment of graduate nurses of Freedmen's Hospital is also charged. It is said that Miss Irwin discriminates against them in the matter of employment, giving preference to the graduate nurses from other institutions.

He says, in his bill of complaint, that he has demanded that the company, through its officers, C. T. Taylor and Carroll A. Brooks, affix the seal to the certificate, and allow him to inspect the stock books to determine whether his name is registered in it. According to Mr. Johnson, the defendants, intending to defraud him of his rights as a stockholder, have wholly refused to affix the seal and have refused to allow him to examine the stock book. He believes that his name is not on the book. The suit has been filed to have a decree for fifty dollars and each other damage at the may have sustained granted.

McAlpin Bride is Widow in Less Than Two Hours; Estate Said to be Worth About $75,000 or $100,000 Bride is Widow in Less Than Two Hours; Estate Said to be Worth About $75,000 or $100,000 Dr. John Willis Morse, 48 years old, prominent as a druggist in Washington for the past twenty-six years, died at Freedmen's Hospital Wednesday morning about 11:15 o'clock, after having been operated on the previous night. His death, was shrouded in ro- mance and coincidence. Tuesday night, his attorney notified him that a decree of divorce had been granted to him that day in Baltimore, from his former wife, Mrs. Rosalie Morse, now living in Chicago. The operation was performed later Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning at 9:30, he was married at his bedside, to Miss Aline M. Chandler, of 217 Florida avenue, northwest. The marriage, a ring ceremony, was culminated by Rev. P. A. Scott, and was witnessed by Dr. J. Frank Blackburn, Mrs. Blanche MUZETTE MORSE The little daughter of Dr. Morse. C. Lee, of Baltimore, Dr. Charles Wilder, Dr. E. A. Taylor, and Miss Jones, a head nurse at Freedmen's Hospital. "I am Happy" Though operated upon Tuesday night, and approaching death at the time he was married, Dr. Morse was thoroughly conscious until he died. Immediately after the marriage, he remarked to his bride: "Thank God! I was able to live to see you my wife. I'm happy to know it; and I'm so sorry I can'b live to enjoy some of life with you." The statement, though meant for words of cheer, were like a knife piercing into the heart of the bride. In his presence, however, she held back her tears, and though happiness and grief were mingled together, she let only the cheerfulness show. Only grief, however, showed upon her countenance when she left the hospital. Her husband had died less than two hours after she had become his wife. Pioneer Druggist Dr. Morse was a pioneer in the field of modern drug stores. He graduated from Howard University school of pharmacy in 1900, and soon after he opened a store on the south side of L. street, near the corner of Nineteenth street, where he remained for a number Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

Westfield, an employee of the Printing Office, and who lives at 750 Harvard st., northwest, a limited divorce from Samuel C. Westfield.

Mrs. Westfield testified in her own behalf. The divorce proceedings were instituted by Mrs. Westfield. She charged her husband with cruelty and indecent conduct and practices in the presence of their children. Mr. Westfield filed a cross bill asking for an absolute divorce. Justice Bailey dismissed this cross bill. The Westfields were married in the District of Columbia August 28. 1918. Before her marriage Mrs. Westfield was Miss Rachel C.

EASY CREDIT FOR ALL TWO VIRGIN ISLANDS TO GET $100,000 FOR GOOD ROADS President Coolidge last Friday approved and signed two congressional acts affecting the Virgin Islands. One is to confer United States citizenship upon the inhabitants and to extend the naturalization laws to the Virgin Islands. The other bill authorizes an appropriation of $100,000 to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to construct and maintain public highways in the island of St. Thomas. The House committee on insular affairs reported that "the building and maintenance of public roads in the Virgin Islands would do much toward relieving the present unemployment in St. Thomas. Now that the water supply system is completed in St. Thomas there is considerable unemployment .of which the local government must take and is taking notice. Thus the extension of the road system in St. Thomas will furnish employment to many in need of work. "In St. Thomas there are about 16 or 17 miles of road demanding reconstruction. In most places there is already a road bed, but torrential rains and consequent washouts during many years have rendered these roads quite beyond the capacity of the local government to rebuild or to repair." This bill was designed to encourage the large landholders of St. Thomas to sell their lands at reasonable prices to deserving small farmers, encourage agriculture in the outlying districts, render the island's beauties and beaches readily accessible to tourists, increase trade and revenues, keep down unemployment and increase the tendency of the natives to be self-respecting and self-supporting. DISTASTEFUL SATIRE In the February issue of "The Bulletin of Pharmacy," a drug journal published in Detroit, Mich., attention has been called to an article headed "The Colored Customer." The writer after stating he did not write the article for the benefit of the southern druggist who knows and understands the colored man, but for the average middle west druggist, goes on to say, that there were about 1800 Negroes in his township mostly imported from Arkansas and Mississippi. To quote his exact language. "Dealing with these coworks from Arkansas and Mississippi was a new experience for us. However, I had traveled some through the southern states and I patterned after the only people who really understands the darky. Now both the darkies and I feel perfectly at home with each other in a business way, and I number hundreds of them as good steady customers. If you don't mind I will tell you a few things that I have learned from dealing with them. "It is funny, but we have found that colored girls spend most of their money getting their hair straightened, and the white girls spend their money to get their hair curly." After relating many other experiences with his colored customers, this white druggist continues his article as follows: "Whenever there is a white woman in the store we always wait on her first, but when there are only men present we wait on each person in turn, regardless of color. "The Negro is one of the most exacting of customers. If he does not get attention, he will walk out. We generally speak to colored customers just as soon as they enter, with a "Just a minute, Auntie" or "Just a minute, Uncle." The younger ones we address as "boy" and "girl." We never serve them fountain products with the exception of cones and bulk cream. "No matter how bad I feel when I go to work in the morning, or how blue I may be, I can always count on at least one good laugh to help the day along. My colored customers don't mind it at all. They laugh too." Dr. Board of the Colored Drugsists stated to a Tribune reporter: "No further comment is necessary for the unstanding, selfre- ```markdown ``` speeting 'Colored Customer' who demands equal courteous treatment in every department of a publicly conducted store where he spends his money at the soda counter, as well as at the medicine counter."

DEANWOOD CITIZENS PRO- TEST ZONING The monthly meeting of the Benning, Glendale, Oakland Citizens' Association was held at Smothers School, Benning, D.C., Thursday, February 24. The meeting was largely attended by the residents of the communities and much discussion was had over the sewer and water in this section. It will be fully discussed at the meeting of March 24. The Zoning Commission came in for much criticism. It was stated that residential sections occupied by colored people are constantly being loaded up with gasoline stations and other business which tends to lower the value of property and spoil such residential sections. Garages are given permission to open next to churches and like things are done that have the tendency to hinder rather than help the neighborhood. One particular case mentioned was that part of Dupont Circle has been asked to be changed from a residential to a commercial zone. One of the reasons given in the petition for such a change is because colored people are coming into that section. The Ladies' Excelsior Club of Bennings D.C. met at the residence of Mrs. Charles F. A. Longus, 4038 Bennings Road, northeast, Monday.

An old established company which has advertised its products for years and made a great success, is looking for women who want more money, a home of their own, a nice automobile, fine clothes, etc. Everybody wants these things and no doubt thousands will get them by writing the company.

SPECIAL M INST VIOLI LATE Be VICTOR { RECORD { LATEST Sokolov 1804 SEVENT "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. "I was not popular with men. I knew it was because of my short, ugly hair. Then a neighbor told me about Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing." "In a few months everything was different. My hair grew long, straight, soft and silky. Instead of being ashamed of it, it became my joy. Besides its beauty, it also brought me popularity.

Last year when they sang, musical critics, almost without exception, spoke of the "elemental appeal" and the "flood of harmony" which poured forth from the throats of these Howard University singers. The same verdict was rendered this year. The program rendered as follows: "Ave Maria" (Vittoria); "Give a Rouse" (Bantock); "Lady of the Lagon" (Bantock); "Shadow March" (Protheros); "Nobody Knows the Trouble I See" (Negro Spiritual sung by Lester Dorsey); "Little Banijp" (Dichmont); "Just You" (Burleigh); "La Campanella" (Litz) played by Harry G. Smith; "Were You There." "Jacob's Ladder," "Deep River." (three Negro Spirituals by H. T. Burleigh); "Negro Lullaby" (Work); Alma Mater. The singing was under the general direction of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, director of the Glee Club.

The church chunt seemed to go to pieces immediately on taking the floor. Her players threw for the basket from all angles, which of course, kept down the team's score. The first half ended 17-4. The second period, however, found Slim Henderson's boys playing better together. It was a cleanly contested affair from start to finish.

The close proximity of the score indicates very creditably that the battle was hard fought. With Slim Henderson's Blue and White lads keeping the Collegians under pressure throughout, the outcome was always in doubt. Fisher, who scored 5 baskets from scrimmage, Hammond, and Williams were the Shiloh mainstays, while "Sonny" Robinson, a former Blue and White player, was the outstanding performer for the Collegians.

"Jinks" Johnson recently returned from the University of Pittsburg starred at forward for the Green team, scoring 6 baskets from various angles. With the acquisition of Johnson and White formerly with the Washington Scholastics the Senegals have a formidable crew of basketeers. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1927 SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor CHECKS NOSE OUT YANKEES CHECKS NOSE OUT YANKEES ALCO'S CHALLENGERS DISPLAY COMMENDABLE AGGRESSIVENESS In a red hot, nip and tuck struggle which got faster and faster as the end drew nearer, the Carlisle Big Five outscored the Washington Yankees, 26-25, last Tuesday night at the Lincoln Colonnade. With Slim Henderson as its rudder, the Black and White ship balked every wave the Yanks sent up in the form of a score, and each time the aliens led they were overtaken and passed by the Conway-Taylor Men-O-Court. The lanky center cut loose in the last half and repeatedly broke away from Sauber to get chances at the basket on which he was either fouled or made good. The crowd of several hundred who saw the clash went away well satisfied and assuring each other that it was one of the best games seen on local floors this season. The first half ended with the colored team on the short end of a 15-10 count, but coming back after the rest period the Checks seemed to recover their fighting spirit, and set right out to close the gap. "Sonny" Hawkins who has replaced the veteran Benny Hill in the Carlisle line-up started the scoring with a pretty overhead loper. O'Malley, however, inserted a doubledecker and the same margin was recained. Henderson obtained a foul toss, made good, and on the next tap took the ball into the basket and caged it. Again, however, O'Malley duplicated by succeeding on a shot for basket and being fouled made one of his two free throws. With the count 20-15 against their team Hawkins and Henderson got 2 and 1 field baskets respectively in rapid succession to go ahead for the first time of the clash. The Yankees cried for a time out and immediately following resumption of play O'Malley, by virtue of his beautiful angle shot, brought back the white team's lead. Shortly after this, Hawkins was fouled and allowed 2 free shots of which he made 1 good, to bring the checks into a tie at 22 all. Here the Yankees staged a spurt and on Sweeney's field basket and foul toss they went 3 points in the van with 5 and one-half minutes to play. With 4 minutes to go Henderson scored on a fast recovery and follow-up of Jones' wild shot, and with 3 minutes left Braddick came through with a neat looper for the 26th count and the 1 point margin which after a trifle over 2 minutes of "freezing the ball" meant victory.

MORGAN WINS 17-10 OVER WILBERFORCE* "I told you so," was all you could hear in every corner of the Richmond Market Armory last Monday night when Morgan College defeated the Wilberforce University quint 17-10. "I told you so," was clamored loud ad long when Wu Fang Ward was kept out of the scoring columns by the Bear defense, and "I told you so," greeted every smiling countenance when the final whistle blew on a game in which little Sheffy, substituting for Hill, crowned himself with glory, and filled in equally as well, if not better than, the past master himself. An array of stars, including our own Ted Thompson, National tennis champion of 1925; Wu Fang Ward, known on every court throughout the West; "Fuzzy" Evans, captain and versatile forward; Slim Carter, about the best jumper the writer has seen: Ritchie of Gridiron fame; and Robinson, a guard of no mean ability, the Ohio Phalanx journeyed over to Baltimore from the Capital city, where they had trounced Howard and the Alcoes in the same night, with absolute confidence that Coach Drew's Orange and Blue warriors would be their next victims. Coach Graves of the visiting clan, however, must have 'kinda-sorta' had a suspicion that everything might not go off just right, because before the game he arranged for a game with the Athenians on Wednesday night evidently seeking revenge, on a Baltimore team in case revenge was necessary. The first half scoring started by Clarke for Morgan and Ritchie for Wilberforce ended on an even footing at 6 all. The second half, it seemed, was played merely so that Lanky Jones and -Sheffy the real star-of the THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy This column deeply regrets that it must call the attention of the Carlisle management to the seemingly deliberate misrepresentation of which it is recently guilty. While the team and its players could hardly be accused of the error, the authorities themselves know just how far they have gone in their mistake. Whether any intent or purpose of a serious nature was meant in the recent misrepresentation or not cannot be ascertained, but in all sincerity, this column and its writer hopes not. Advertisement for the Carlisle-Yankee game, which at this reading is over, carried conclusively, statements and inferences that the contest would be a city-championship affair. It has usually been the case in Carlisle-Alco City Championship series that the winners of the first two of three games would be considered champions. Thus far this season the Alcoes, who wrested the title from the Black and White team in such a series last year, have lost one game to the Carlisles, but no more—hence the Carlisle five is still a challenger. The Yankee team, by no means is a city champion among the whites, because of the fact that last season in the league with the Annotsia Eagles, the Stanton's and the Holman Wonder Five the Yankee machine was way down. If, then, the Carlisle management knows that their team has not yet won the Colored City Championship, which the Alcoes still hold, and if the Black and White authorities are also aware of the fact that the Yankees are still no more than challengers to the Anacostia Eagle title holding quint, they are guilty of misrepresentation. There is, of course, a probability, that the whole affair was an oversight—let's hope so. Joe Suter, regular Alco forward, at this writing comes in for some long deserved and equally long delayed commendation. Like Hill of Morgan College, the young Purple and White star is one of the most important cogs of his team's machine. Never flashy, like Soup Turner, or Lanky Jones, he is easily overlooked. Suter is without color but nevertheless he has plenty of class. It seems so strange to this column, that with the material the Howard University has afforded its basketball teams the past three seasons, there has been no notable improvement in its play. With Spears, Coates, Berry, Bundrant and Trigg as first string men, the Bisons should be capable of whipping any college five in the country.

The Alcoes have also displayed an improved brand of court play, staging a rally in the waning minutes of their Wilberforce game to overtake a substantial lead the fast stepping Ohioans had established. By virtue of this superb recovery the Purple and White lads forced the tilt into extra time. A dying hope tos by Robinson, substitute gard, gave the visitors the margin of victory. Man for man, the Alcoes have the edge, but the youth and speed of the amateur champions is expected to be able to cope with the experience and weight of the older five. Considering all, a great game, worthy of this basketball loving town is anticipated and, in most circles, predicted. Still smarting under the sting, the Community Yellowjackets gave them on February 18, the rejuvenated Alco City Champs will take the floor against an Orange and Blue team which is also pent up and sore over the beating handed them at the hands of the Stantons, last Sunday. The first contest between the city and amateur titleholders was a fast and furious battle from start to finish. Everyone of the more than 300 spectators was fed a game of basketball in which everything exciting happened. Last Sunday due to a misunderstanding involving the officials, the game was held up unreasonably long. This coming Sunday, however, according to Community authorities, the preliminary go will positively begin at sharp 3:30 p.m. Fans are respectfully requested to govern their arrival according to an actual 3:30 start time. game could perform. These two players cavorted over the entire court and were in every play. The little sandy haired substitute enjoyed a field night, and be it said to his credit that the team which was moulded with Hill, worked just as well with Sheffy. He led the scoring in which every Morganite took part, while the Ohioans' counting came from the hands of Evans, Ritchie, and Carter.

RENAISSANCES DEFEAT PHILS RENAISSANCES DEFEAT PHILS Ricks, Saunders and Mayers in Star Roles PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—A sterling passing combination, an air tight defense, and some uncanny shooting on the part of Pappy Ricks and Mayers, enabled the Renaissance basketball team of New York City to make it two out of three in their series with "Chick" Passon's Philadelphia team (white). Having defeated the Sesquientenial boys on Sunday night, on the floor of their own balliwick in New York; the Renaissance machine arrived here tonight, to find a gallery of more than fifteen hundred fans, most of them of darker hue, accepting all the prevailing odds of three to one, that the Bob Douglass machine would duplicate their feat. From the moment that the timer's whistle formally opened the ceremony, the Renaissance aggregation jumped into the style of things as played at the arena, and were soon leading by a score of 16 to 3. It was at this stage of affairs that Passon got away from Fats Jenkins to insert the first Passonian goal of the evening. This rally was nourished by a sleeper from the hands of Tom Barlow, followed by twin pointers twice contributed by Artus and Kellett. The tap off careened to Pappy Ricks who brought the crowd to their feet when he dribbed sensationally, across the court and back again, then through the entire opponent's defense to clog the hoop with a double-decker. A few moments later Mayers and Ricks brought the figures to 22-13 at which hostilities ended for the half session. It was the sensational shooting of Ricks and George Fiall that really sank the Phillie's hopes. Ricks in particular was all over the court, keeping Tom Barlow in check, intercepting Passonian passes, and retaining a deadeye for the baskets whenever he got set. He easily unsurped scoring honors for the evening, when he ran up seven field goals and four fouls for a total of 18 points. The opening of the second session proved a thrilling one, full of intense feeling on the part of the fans. Imagine Philadelphia coming from behind to take the lead at 40-37, only to be tied again at 40 all, and go down in defeat in the last 15 seconds of play, when Mayers inserted a double-pointer that traveled more than half the distance of the court.

C. guard, last Sunday, the Community Yellowjackets lost their first Sunday afternoon game of the season, 29-24 at the Colonnade. The white team, which is soon to meet the Anacostia Eagles in a city championship series, aided greatly by Tripp's 20 of his team's 29 points, gave the Yellowjackets their first Sunday loss, and third loss of the season in a total of 26 games. Starting slow the contest took on speedier proportions as it progressed. Neale's basket was the first of the pastime, and it followed closely by Goock's and Tripp's successive foul tosses. From that point throughout the first half Community scores were matched. A free throw by Thomas just prior to the whistle gave the Orange and Black Warriors a 1 point advantage to rest on. Returning fresh from the wind grabber, Tripp with his uncanny shooting got started. His first basket put the Green and White ahead, only to be passed again when Givens caged a doubledecker. Tripp got a foul to tie the score, and from then up to 5 minutes before the end each team's basket was matched by the other. With only a few minutes to go, however, the Amateur Champ's defense went to pieces and allowed the star Stanton southpaw to sift through and shoot at will. By no means did the Yellow-jackets resemble the team which defeated the Alcoes two weeks ago and the Epiphany Roses the Sunday following. There seemed to be lacking that stamina and fight which had been evident to this time, and at times the white team had them groggy. Nearly every member of the quint played as if it was a day after the night before. Though, in the final stages of the game, Tripp continually stayed down under his basket and took pass after pass to cage shots, unmolested, the Community's let him go unnoticed and failed to have him covered. This more than anything else proved the colored boys' undoing. Nesgie Ellis, Yellowjacket mainstay, was kept out due to an injury of undetermined seriousness, until as a last resort he was called upon with 3 minutes to play. During his participation he accounted for 2 goals from scrimmage. HOWARD TRIUMPHS OVER MORGAN ORANGE, N. J., March 3—Howard and Morgan came together for a third time this season at Orange Armory, Orange, N. J., February 22. Morgan, by winning the two previous games, had the big edge on Howard as over half of the members of the Morgan team were playing in their home town. Morgan had a world of confidence because just the week before she had set the Blue and White down by a 27-13 score. Morgan, known to be a wonderful passing team, was on this occasion outpassed by Howard. Campbell and Woods and Cobbs started the good work with passes that Morgan simply couldn't follow. In other words, Howard "outidid" Morgan in Morgan style. Cobbs sewed up the first half by making three free throws and then came out to give way to Woods, who with Campbell, continued to baffle the Baltimore five. The half ended with the count 8-5 for the boys from the Capital City. The Morganites caught up with and passed the Howard clan, but near the end of the second half Coach Burr sent in the regulars. They overcame a five point lead by the end of the game, letting the score stand 18-18. Five minutes extra was ordered by the referee to settle the thing. This wasn't enough, since each team managed to get two points. The score still tied at 20, both went at it hammer and tongs to decide the issue. Five more minutes wouldn't help, so a third five minutes was essential. Things started to break then and the fast pace began to tell on Lanky Jones and his four horsemen. Howard scraped up three points to Morgan's one to win one of the hardest, fastest, best games ever seen in those parts by a score of 23-21. And so, Howard took Morgan's measure. CARLISLES LOSE ONE; WIN PAIR On her road trip last week the local Carlisle quint lost the first game and then took vengeance on the two remaining teams, for the defeat administered them by the first. At Asbury Park, New Jersey, the Black and White quint lost to the Ramblers in the extra five-minute periods, 32-31 after the score had been tied at 29 all and 31-31. The New Jersey team was made up of four members of the Keyes' family and a Davis. In New Haven, Conn., the Coleridge "5" proved to be no trouble and the Checks came out on top 40 to 24. The final game of the tour, however, turned out to be a classy played affair in which the local team barely nosed out the Orientalts 24-22 at New Rochelle, New York. All these games were played under the Eastern Board Professional Rules. Ohio Team Downs Bisons at Howard, and Hour Later Takes Overtime from Alco A. C. Sporting the Gold and Green of the Wilberforce University, a half dozen lads headed by our own Ted Thompson, National Tennis Championship runner-up journeyed to this city last Thursday night and killed two birds with one stone. At 8 o'clock they took the measure of the Howard quint 22-14 in the latter's gymn, and at 10 o'clock they appeared at the Lincoln Colonnade where they won an overtime contest from the Alco City Champions, 35-34. The first game was a scheduled affair, while the second was arranged upon the Ohioans' arrival in Washington, when they were requested to substitute in place of the Cleveland Elk team which was booked to play the Alcoes, but could not because of an automobile accident which hindered their coming East. Ward and Ritchie, both of football fame, were the outstanding performers of the Howard game, while this same pair were responsible for the local downfall in the tilt at the Colonnade. Thompson, formerly a star with the Sentinel quint of three years age, fit in nicely with the Western combination displaying a very creditable game at guard. Little "Fluffy" Evans working in conjunction with Ritchie at the forward post, gave a beautiful exhibition of his uncanny knack of drawing fouls. During the course of the evening, the diminutive Ohioan was awarded no less than 17 free throws resulting from fouls committed on him. The affair at the Colonnade got away to a slow start and at the close of the first half the local team was trailing 17-6. The third quarter was a repitition of the first half, but oh my what a change took place beginning 6 minutes before the finish with the score 28-13 Hope shot a basket from an exceedingly difficult angle. This 2-point gain on Wilberforce was of no avail, however, when Ritchie caged a basket from the sideline.

Miller, and E. P. Westmoreland, has, to date, proved extremely popular. These games played, for the most part, Mondays and Thursdays are for the purpose of showing the students who do not play with the varsity teams, just how much benefit can be derived from such competition. Working on the theory that successful development of any sort of organization must begin at the bottom, Coaches Westmoreland, an Miller are striving to interest all students who are as yet lacking enthusiasm in the winter snort. The first games of the inter-class series were played last Monday when the 1-A Freshmen met and conquered the Sophomore quint and the Juniors were victorious over the 1-B Freshmen. These scores were 15-14 and 19-12 respectively. Following is the remainder of the Inter-class series schedule: March 7: 1-B Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Seniors vs. Juniors. March 10: Seniors vs. 1-AFreshmen Sophomores vs. Juniors. March 14: 1-A Freshmen vs. 1-B Freshmen. Seniors vs. Sophomores March 17: Seniors vs. 1-B Freshmen 1-A Freshmen vs. Juniors goal and foul shot reduced the visitors' lead to 30/18. From that point Alco baskets rained in in rapid fire order, Captain Turner looped one from center, and another from the deep sideline. Whitted scored a double-decker from the 15-foot mark and when Harris duplicated for the fifth successive Alco basket, the court stood Wilberforce, 30; Alco, 26. Following a Wilberforce time out during which Thompson reentered for Evans, Whitted again scored Ritchie's basket from the center of the court which greatly dampened the home town spirit, but when the old reliable "Soup" came through with two successive twin-counters inside of 25 seconds the stands went wild. An extra 5 minute period was necessary, and Robinson's toss from back of the center circle gave the invading host victory. Graves' successful foul toss terminated the scoring. Had Your Carne Today?

"One Hour of Love" with Jacqueline Logan heads a star cast including Robert Frazer, Mildred Harris and Taylor Holmes. For one hour of unadulterated enjoyment see "One Hour of Love." Madge Bellamy in "Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl" a love and lingerie edition of the great melodrama will be the feature attraction on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 8, 9. It is a breath-taking story of a young girl's struggle against tremulous odds and temptations. "Sin Cargo" a vivid drama depicting the riotous youth of today with Shirley Mason, Robert Frazer and Gertrude Astor in the cast, will be the main attraction on Thursday and Friday, March 10, 11.

Three talent shows on the stage at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30.

Another super-special picture "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, with Lillian Gish will begin on Sunday, March 13. LINCOLN THEATRE On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, March 6, 7, 8. Corinne Griffith will appear in "The Lady in Ermine." She reaches new heights in this picture which has been acclaimed the achievement of her career. A thrilling drama of a countess, whose castle was captured by a Don Juan general, but whose heart remained as pure as the ermine she wore, is the theme. On Wednesday and Thursday, March 9, and 10, Pauline Frederick plays in "Devil's Island," a drama of mother love—and hate! She has to answer the question "Would you marry a man if it meant life imprisonment for you?" On Friday and Saturday, March 11 and 12, Louise Fazenda in "Finger Prints," with Helene Costello and John T. Murray, will be shown. It is a comedy of horrors, a melodrama of laughs, a whirlwind of excitement. On Saturday only, "On Guard," with Cullen Landis, is offered. Special talent will be the added attraction Saturday night. Stage attractions are put on three times daily. HOWARD THEATRE During the week of March 7, Clara Smith, called the assinator of the "blues," will present her "Intimate Black Bottom Revue" at the Howard Theatre. She will be supported by Nuggie Johnson. Anna White, Clarence Parsons, Green and Green, Ruth Trent, "Washboard" Johnson, Willie Williams, Gladys Ferguson, Jaffy Salmons, Catherine Ragland, Olivia White, Susie Wilder, Mary Jefferson, Louise Robinson, Bebe Lynne, Marion Forde, Quinton Redd, and a Black Bottom Revue Chorus. "Washboard" Johnson is known as the one-man band. Catherine Ragland is called the Ohio Nightingale; and Nuggie Johnson, the funny boy, is also claimed to be a sweet singer. On the screen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "Oh Baby" will be shown. It is a gorgeous farce, In it, the little giant manager cow-hulks heavyweights, little Billy masquerades as a girl whom his maiden aunt wants to undress. The picture is claimed to have a big punch. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, "King of the Pack" will be the feature on the screen. It will have an all-star cast supporting Peter the Great, the miracle dog of the movies. It shows a runaway horse, a frightened girl rider, a yawning precipice ahead, then, a mighty leap by Peter the Great, and a life is saved. Friday night, the regular midnight show starts at 12:15, and on Saturday night, at 9:30, the regular barrel of fun will be held. "THE SEA WOLF" AT THE BROADWAY On Saturday and Sunday the Broadway Theater will present the picturesque, virile, dramatic, absorbing and appealing Jack London story "The Sea Wolf" with Ralph W. Ince, Clarie Adams, Theodore Von Eltz and Mitchell Lewis. When it comes to writing a real red blooded sea story they can't beat Jack London, hence to see the monster hell ship with its brutal seaman battling his wits against one lone woman and her lover, you will get a thrill. On Tuesday, one day only, Lewis Stone and Barbara Bedford appear in one of the fastest moving stories ever screened. It is greater than the "Sheilk." It is a Marion Fairfax story called "Old Loves and New." Wednesday and Thursday, the laughing hit of the season "Kosher Kitty Kelly," with Viola Dana, Vera Gorda and Nat Carr. If you liked "Sweet Daddies" and "The Cohens and Kellys" you will really rave over this one. The week will close on Friday and Saturday with our favorite stars Norma Shearer and Conrad Nagel in "The Waning Sex." Bill Reeves' Original Peacock band will furnish the melodies. Dud's Dope By S. H. Dudley, Sr. I have just returned from a trip west where I visited the "Darktown Frolics" and closed same in Columbus, the show will continue under a new title, "Dixie Dinah," under the management of B. Gibson, with probably the same cast with the exception of E. H. Dudley, Jr. While in Pittsburg I spent a delightful time, but was very busy rehearsing the show, as it had runned down. Manager Engleberg of the Elmore where the show was playing, was well pleased after I put the show back in shape. I went to Columbus and found a beautiful little play house seating about six or eight hundred, but no stage room. It is a shame that such beautiful little theatres, so well managed, haven't the facilities to produce shows. I also met the "Lucky Sambo" Company there playing the Lyceum Theatre, the old house where I used to turn them away when I was on the stage. When Billy Higgins and I walked in the stage door I was accorded a hearty welcome by the local stage hands. We talked of the good old days for hours. It really made me feel good to have them say so many good things about me to the members of the Sambo Company. Lucky Sambo is doing a fine business, the show is in good shape, but what else could we expect with Jesse Shipp at the helm. I spent several pleasant afternoons with Jesse Shipp, Al Watts, Joe Byrd and a few others. All of my evenings were spent with Billy Higgins and Ernest Whitman, so there is no need of asking, "Doing what?" On my arrival home I found that Mr. Lloyd Wycks, my general manager, had discharged his duties well and that C. Manly, my trainer, had carried out his orders and shipped to Bowie, Md., and got the nags to going. I will run out early one morning next week and time a few of them as the time is not long now before they will sturt their stuff. Oh, boy! But if they fail to strut (?) this can not be answered at this writing, but if they fail, rest assured the answer will be in these columns. I once refused $1500 for Strut Miss Lizzie from Commander J. K. L. Ross, the millionaire Canadian turfman, but later sold her for $3,500 so you can almost see the answer now, to the above question. I lived for years without owning a horse or even a buggy. If my theatre did not pay I would close it. Nuf sed. Where They Are The T.O.B.A. bookings for the week of March 7 from S. H.

Dudley, Jr., may be seen with Lucky Sambo company for the remainder of the season. The Colored Actors' Union is still in existence and is always willing and ready to help all of its members who are in good standing financially. Just mailed Jimmy Dick a check and Mr. Talfair Washington, secretary of the union is trying to arrange a benefit for Mr. Dick. If all members would pay up their back dues or become reinstated the benefit would not be necessary. Why don't you actors support your own organization better? This is a wonderful organization and it is up to you to build and keep it alive. The Colored Actors' Union has done some wonderful things for the profession. Think it over, send in your dues at once. A theatrical meeting was called at the office of the writer Sunday, February 6, of all local theatre owners and managers, to discuss the over seated theatre situation that now exists in Washington. Yours truly acted as chairman and I think we will solve the problem satisfactorily for all concerned. I will have more to say about this after the next meeting. Mr. Leachman has just taken over the Lincoln and I can say without fear of contradiction it is the most beautiful colored theatre in the world. I received a letter from Mr. Benbow, owner of the "Get Happy" Company, which is now touring Cuba. He says that he is doing fine and also says he is signing contracts to return next year with sixty people. Benbow is some hustler and is no chippie in the show business. His cast consists of our own Sarah Martin, Henry Mitchell, Margie Choen, Adele Irvin, Virginia Randall, Shorty Edwards, a chorus of ten truly dusky dancing girls, a quartette and a jazz band of ten pieces. He reports good business in each theater played so far. By W. R. Arnold NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 16.—The week opening with February 28, as has been announced by Manager Sam E.

"SIN CARGO" A vivid drama depicting the riotous youth of today! with SHIRLEY MASON, ROBERT FRAZER --- Dr. Schwartz Discusses Mortality Among Negroes Dr. Schwartz Discusses Mortality Among Negroes The Medico-Chirurgical Society, of which Dr. Charles M. Wilder is the president, was addressed by Dr. E. J. Schwartz, assistant health officer of the District of Columbia, Mu-So-Li Club, Thursday evening, February 24. The subject of Dr. Schwartz was "The High Negro Mortality in the District of Columbia with Remedial Suggestions." He pointed out that over a five-year period the death rate among Negroes in the District of Columbia had exceeded the birth rate by 1,641 deaths. Without an influx of colored persons into the District of Columbia, he pointed out, there would ultimately be an extinction of the Negro population here. The predominant causes of the high death rate among colored persons were given by Dr. Schwartz as pneumonia, tuberculosis, heart disease, Bright's disease and infant mortality. Deaths from heart diseases among colored people have taken a sudden jump within recent years, he said. Child Hygiene Needed Dr. Schwartz particularly stressed the greater need for child hygiene service in order to lower the death rate among colored people. In a discussion that followed, Dr. Algenorn B. Jackson of Howard University declared that if a movement for better health is to be started, it must be started by Negroes, among Negroes and for Negroes. He said that health is a national problem and the national conscience must be aroused. Dr. M. O. Dumas asserted that the high death rate among Negroes is due largely to economic conditions. He cited examples of poverty which had prevented the proper medical treatment of cases where patients might have been saved if physicians had been called in time. One of the reasons for the high death rate among colored persons, Dr. A. M. Curtis said, is the failure or refusal of municipal authorities to appoint colored health officers who would be interested in health conditions among Negroes. The meeting was very largely attended. tions. A piano selection played by him "At the Spinning Wheel" (Goddard), was well delivered. Holiday is one of the soloists in the Lincoln Temple Sunday School choir. Other artists on the program were: Evelyn Lane, Evelyn Washington, Susie May Moore, Charles Williams, Jr., Lillian Nickens, Lillian Washington, Eudora Williams, Wayward Tapscott, Virginia Nickens, Catherine Gaines, Winnirod Taylor, Charles Williams, Lucie Anderson, Ruth Locke, Mary Childs, Grace Johns, Herbert Hollis, Margaretate Tate, Eunice Day, Bessie Fitch and Ruth Ellington.

The national organization will issue charters for the establishment of local clubs in any state or city in the United States. The purposes of the organization are to foster the civic, the social and educational betterment of its members and of their communities, to aid in matters of charity, and generally to engage in such other benevolent and charitable activities as are calculated to promote community welfare.

The events of every month week and day of our life emphasize the need of a leadership in business and affairs equipped with a thorough knowledge of history and economics, to say nothing of a knowledge of the general sciences of sociology, biology, philosophy and psychology. The Negro is making encouraging and commendable progress in the professions and in the establishment of business enterprises. The advance in these directions' in the last twenty years has been most striking. But the advance has been achieved as the result of individual effort and aspiration, and in the face of a lack of that solid popular support which has characterized the advance of other racial groups. A people living under the conditions of the Negroes should show a larger group consciousness and solidarity than the Negro is showing. The masses of our people are not supporting members of their race engaged in business to the extent that their numbers and their earning capacity warrants, except in certain lines of business where the Negro business man has no competition from the other race. Here is where the opportunity of the well equipped leadership should show itself. In the banking business, the Negro banker is receiving nothing like the support he deserves. There is no reason in the world why the two banks in this community, owned and controlled by Negroes should not have each at least ten thousand depositors. The advantages accruing to the whole body of our people from the achievement of a result of this kind would exceed anything that could be set forth in an article as short as this must be. But it will take time and labor and intelligent missionary effort to bring it about. An individual well versed in the subjects of human development and civilization can teach it to the masses. He need not necessarily talk about patronizing race enterprises. In teaching the general principles of thrift, economy and provision for a rainy day, together with the lesson of self-help and self-respect, he can drive the necessary lesson home. The preacher the teacher, the publicist, the lecturer, each can make a contribution to this result. There ought to be large patronage of all existing race enterprises. There ought to be enterprises in new lines. Any other race with the numbers of the Negro race in this community would not be content with present business conditions. The people are sound at heart they are loyal to a race ideal. What is needed is a leadership in schoolroom, pulpit, press and platform that can discuss and explain to the masses those great general principles of economics and history which have been the guideposts of the races that are now in the vanguard of mankind. We need to connect our own peculiar difficulties with the general drift of human affairs. It takes large knowledge and information to do this but it is a line of endeavor that will assist the race to reach a higher level of well-being and social efficiency. Here is an RICHMOND VA. NEWS PLANS MADE TO REFINANCE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY At a recent meeting of the trustee board of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va., and the Virginia Baptist State Convention, plans for refinancing the school were presented by B. L. Jordan, manager of the Southern Aid Society. It is hoped that within two years the school will be entirely free from debt. Among the prominent ministers present were Dr. A. A. Galvin chairman of the board of trustees of the convention, pastor of First Baptist Church, Newport News, Va., and ex-president of the Virginia State Baptist Convention; Dr. Richard H. Bowling, pastor of First Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., and secretary of the State Convention; and Dr. A. D. James, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., and now president of the Virginia State Baptist Convention. Nearly 200 were in attendance at the session. Almost $2,000 in cash was raised at the meeting for the school, and over $6,000 was pledged. The next session will be held in Petersburg, Va., in May.

HELPFUL CRITICISM There is all the difference in the world between criticism and fault finding. Criticism is a highly use- ful and necessary function, and the world can not get along without it. Fault finding, on the other hand, is an annoying, pestiferous practice indulged in by persons not distinguished for judgment or dis- crimination. As an illustration of criticism, and not fault finding, the following news item may serve a useful purpose: Samuel Insull, organizer of electricity said: "In Chicago last week I went to a hall in the black belt to address the National Negro Press Association. I waited two hours for the meeting to begin. Then I said: 'If St. Peter uses a white man's time-table the Negro will never get to the land beyond. Thriftlessness,' said I. 'is the Negro's great handicap—thriftlessness of time, health, money. Chicago Commissioner of Health Bundesen followed me, urged Negroes to eat properly so as to avoid anemia, pneumonia, rickets." Mr. Insull is the traction magnate who financed the primary campaign of Colonel Frank Smith for the Illinois senatorship. That, however, is a mere incident. The outstanding thing about him is that he has worked his way from the bottom to the top in the world of industry and transportation. He administers interests running into the hundreds of millions. The criticism of a man of this type is most weighty, and is deserving of careful thought and consideration. As his reflection had immediate relation to the meeting of the National Negro Press Association, the Tribune feels that it is not inappropriate to remind our group that here is a matter calling for discussion with a view to correcting the defect pointed out by Mr. Insull. Our churches are not prompt in commencing their services. Our committees of all sorts seldom meet on the hour named in the call. And we might proceed with enumerations ad infinitum. The habit of punctuality lies at the base of all the qualities essential for success in any calling. No one, it seems to us, however sensitive or supersensitive he may be, can deny the truthfulness of Mr Insull's criticism, and of its essential helpfulness if considered in the right spirit. "THE NEGRO LITTLE THEATRE" The Crisis for March has something to say about the "Little Negro Theatre." There is an organization of white people in Washington known as the "Washington Little Theatre." The New York Times last Sunday contained items of news about the "Russian Little Theatre" and the "Yiddish Little Theatre." There is the "French Little Theatre" and the "German Little Theatre." Why not the "Negro Little Theatre" and not the "Little Negro Theatre"? As the Crisis is conducting a competition for writers of Negro one-act plays, it ought to inform its public why it says "Little Negro Theatre" rather than "Negro Little Theatre." Such a departure from standard usage requires an explanation. The Parish Aid Guild of St. Phillips P. E. Church held a meeting at Mrs. Tinsley's residence, 9123 W. Clay street. Plans for the betterment of the church and its needs were discussed. During the month of January, the Guild donated a new outside light for the Parish Hall. The officers of the Guild are: Mrs. Henrietta Forrester, president. Miss Lizzie Williams, secretary; and Mrs. Hattie Evans, treasurer. Mrs. Mary Frances Brimby, formerly of Suffolk, Va., now living in Brooklyn, N. Y., spent several days in the city recently visiting her brother, Junius Broadnax, of Oak street. She was entertained by Meadames Charles and William Harris of West Clay street, and by Mrs. Lillian Elliot of E. Leigh street. R. J. Kenney, vice-president and manager of Thurken Company, Incorporated, made a trip to Petersburg, Va., last week in the interest of his company. The Nurses' Club, No. 1, of Armstrong Night School, met Monday night at the residence of Miss Ida Glover on Eighth street, and aside from discussion of business and plans for the future, they were royally entertained. Mrs. Gussie Thornton is the teacher of the The body of Lieutenant Robinson, who died at St. Phillips Hospital from injuries received in an auto accident Monday, was shipped to his home town of West Point, Va., Thursday. C.P. Hayes, undertaker, was in charge of the remains. Miss Mand Watkins of Atlanta, Ga., has been visiting in the city this week, attending the Y. W. C. A. conference. Miss Watkins is secretary of the Atlanta branch. While here she was the guest of Phyllis Wheatley Branch, on 7th street. She left for Atlanta Thursday. Funeral services for John Gilpin, 1631 Ashland street, were held at Fifth Baptist Church, Sunday evening at 1:30. Rev. Daly officiated. He leaves several grandchildren to mourn their loss. A.D. Price, Jr., undertaker, handled the arrangements. One of the most brilliant affairs of the season among the smart set was the informal "Pron" given by the Independent Progressive Educational Association, of which some of Richmond's most popular young men are members. The affair took place at Johnson's auditorium. The place was decorated with white, blue, and yellow tissue streamers overhead in tent shape crepe, set off with balloons of red, yellow, and pink. Large mirrors were placed in convenient corners around the hall. The large initial letters were him, in the center with colored lights to match the club colors playing on the gold embossed letters. Hardy Brothers, Society Orchestra entertained. The stand for the orchestra was decorated and the musicians were almost hidden from view by the well-placed decorations. Confetti and novelties were given out during the intermission, and punch was served. The Rosary Social Club held its installation of officers and gave a reception. Dancing was also inducted in the. The home was decorated with palms. Harris Hilton's Society Serenaders furnished the music during the evening. The officers are, Miss Sadie White, president; Mrs. Martha Payne, vice-president; Mrs. Goldie Coots, Mrs. Laura White, business manager, and Miss Crump, secretaries, Miss Mattie Mattie Richardson, chaplain. Mrs. Ella B. Trent, of E. Jackson street, is on the sick list but is expected out soon. Messrs. Daniel Branch and Sherman Brown, of N. First street, are on the sick. Dr. A. A. Tennant is the attending physician. The "Talent Rally" of First Baptist Church was held Sunday, February 27, at 8 p.m. Rev. W. T. Johnson is the pastor. Miss Evelyn Gharity and John Johnson have been added to Cupid's long list of victims for the month of roses. Dr. R. B. Taylor, Jr., will leave next week for New York, to attend the wedding of Miss Marion Moore, the daughter of Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age. Messrs. Case, and D. C. Deanes were entertained by R. H. Scott at a dinner party at Slaughter's Cafe Friday night. One of the season's picturesque formal dansants was that of the Theban Beneficial Club last Friday evening from 9 to 1 o'clock. The decorations were beautiful in club colors of orange and green. Patterson's Soft-Pedalers Ten-piece orchestra furnished the music. At 11:30, the grand march was played, and the guests were presented with favors of the evening, which consisted of novelties in balloons, umbrellas, cigars with perfume containers. Punch was served through the evening. The officers of the club are Hugh L. Fountain, president, Herbert Fleming, chairman of the social committee, and George H. Ben Johnson, secretary-treasurer. The Bishop Clan's Willing Workers' Club of Leigh street M. E. Church, staged a Martha Washington party. The club is composed of all the new members of the Church, and Mrs. Jennie Edmondson is president. The affair was held in the Sunday school room. The main auditorium of the Leigh Street M. E. Church is undergoing repairs and decorations. At present, the regular services are held in the Sunday school room. To Whom it May Concern; The Independent, Progressive Educational Association wishes to correct a certain false rumor that is being spread over the city, by some individuals who evidently desire to hurt the character and reputation of the Association. The rumor, which has reached the ears of the Association, concerns an attack made on a group of students at a recent dance. It is being said that the attack was instigated by the I. P. E. A. The Association emphatically denies any knowledge of the affair and challenges any party or parties to prove that the Association as such had any connection whatever with the affair. This Association is composed of the best young men in the city of Richmond, many of whom attend the same institution of learning as the attacked students. It is absurd to even think that young men of such high intellect would stoop to any such methods. The Association wishes that in the future some of the mothers of Richmond will not find it necessary to persuade other mothers not to allow their daughters to associate with boys whom they have known ever since childhood. The rumor, as far as the Association can ascertain, is being spread by a certain group of individuals who have some slight grievences against the Association. It is hoped that the serious minded people of Richmond will not take any notice of the malicious report that is being spread and that they will realize that their sons would n do anything to harm their own sisters or their sisters' friends. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1927 ALUMNI OF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE MEET ALUMNI OF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE MEET By Kelly Miller, Jr. The alumni of the school of medicine of the District of Columbia met in the amphitheatre of the Medical School Building, Monday evening, February 28. Dr. J. C. McNeil, president of the alumni, called the meeting, and there were a large number of alumni present. He spoke on the history of the medical endowment and its development up to the present time. Dr. H. C. Scurlock, gave the history of the alumni association and of the great importance of having regular meetings. Dr. Adolphus Walton spoke in behalf of the dental alumni and Dr. Daniel Smith spoke for the pharmaceutical alumni. There were remarks by Dr. J. C. Mitchell, former secretary of the alumni association, Dr. Hayden Johnson, Dr. S. J. Lewis, Dr. M. O. Dumas and Dr. W. Lane, Dr. E. C. Terry. Edward Swift and William Adams, senior medical students, spoke on the co-operation of the senior medical students in the endowment drive. All present were pleased with the fine showing and spirit of President Johnson and pledged him their full support. A committee was appointed to make arrangements to have President Johnson meet the medical alumni in the near future. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE McDUFFIE APPOINTMENT To the Editor: Your splendid expose of the circumstances under which the head of the department was recently appointed in our schools shows that you stand for right and justice. I therefore ask permission as a citizen and taxpayer to say a word on this subject. Being a trained teacher, I can undoubtedly see some phases of this situation which the layman does not see. When any person who has had only three years of formal education beyond the high school—with no breadth of experience, gained by either travel or contact; when such a person has had only the narrow experience of teaching year after year three grades of high school Latin; such a person can be nothing more than a serious handicap when he is put to direct the work of a group of twenty teachers in four or five languages; half of whom have done in addition to four years of college work, advanced study in the best graduate schools and many of whom have travelled and studied languages among natives. Not only is this a handicap but nothing other than friction can be expected from such a condition. Of the administration which fosters such standards or lack of standards I have nothing to say. Let it be said to the credit of the white people of Washington, however, that no such thing could have been put over in their schools. ROYAL CIRCLE TO ORGANIZE HERE Dr. R. A. Williams, the Supreme president of the Royal Circle of the World, will be in the city Monday, March 7, to organize the first Royal Circle here, under the direction of Mrs. S. R. Saunders.

LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor THE WONDERFUL SWORD In Scotland there was a skilled worker in medals, whom the people called Robert. He had working for him a boy called Carl. This boy was strong and courageous. All went well between Robert and Carl until Robert told Carl this story: "Once I lived in a beautiful castle in Spain. I was lord over many people. I had servants to do my will and many knights and soldiers fought for me. Twenty years ago a man killed my eldest brother. My father in rage ordered this man to give him a ransom. The man's companions offered my father some red cursed gold. He accepted it. Hardly was the man free before the curse worked. My father died that instant. My older brother took me from Spain. "All of these twenty years I have been roaming hither and thither. The curse is still working. My brother took the form of a dragon called Faroff. To this day he guards the treasure. "Not long after I came here I was at your grandfather's house where a strange thing happened. While we were making merry, a tall man wearing a scarlet hat and a gray cloak came in. He stuck a sword in the wall, and in a loud voice he repeated these words: 'Whoever draws this sword from this wall shall be victorious over all things.' Having said this walked to the middle of the room and disappeared. "Nobody could move. Finally, my lord, the king stepped forward and tried. It did not budge. Everybody tried but failed. I pulled it out, and it lies in my shop to this day. I will give it to whoever consents to go and fight Faroff." Carl said, "I will go and fight this dragon. Much wrong has been done you." So after informing his father of his intention, Robert and Carl set off. They arrived at the place which was an island. There were no inhabitants for miles and miles. Carl thought of a good way to fight the dragon. He dug some trenches near a pond. He hid in the last trench. The dragon came to the pond. He was on a hill seventy feet high and he leaned over this hill for a drink of water, Carl stabbed him. Robert was very happy so he gave Carl a home and the magic sword. Whenever Carl went to battle he always won, until he met the great Odin who at last defeated him. By W. H. Smallwood, (age 12) (Continued from last week) CHAPTER 4 "Well sir, is there anything we can do for you?" Bob haughtily asked. "Why, yes, in one way, and no, in another," drawled the foreigner, looking around as he did so. "Well, I'll call the butler," Bob exclaimed, "as I presume you are in the wrong quarters." "Oh, don't be too hasty, my friend," came the reply from the visitor. The whole troop was on the alert. "Let's get down to business," he blurted oak. "I have an important matter to discuss." Then he continued, "I represent the Secret Guild of Italy. I have been sent over here with my co-worker whom you shall call Adolph. He is a French army ex-office who recently sold information to Italy for which he was exiled from France. You'll see little of him." Here he was questioned several times by the boys who had taken a keen interest in the foreigner's story. He continued, "What I would like to know is why have you boys taken this sudden interest in the disappearance of Professor Warren?" When he asked this question the boys were taken aback, a little when Bob hastily replied, "Oh, that is our little secret." The man looked Bob in the face with a slight frown, then continued, "Well, it happens that I know where Professor Warren is." The boys arose and immediately grabbed Lubuar by his collar. Bob strode over to Lubuar and sneeringly said, "You sneaking, culprit, you know more about Professor Warren than you are willing to tell or to have known, ch?" After that the boys released the man, and he stood up and faced Bob. "Gentlemen," he coolly said to the troop, "I have about stood your actions long enough and since I did not come here to quarrel I will say my bit and go, as it is plain that we are enemies from now on. Alex broke in and said, "Well beat it then." Bob frowned at Alex and turned to Lubuar and bade him continue, "Now, sirs," Lubuar said, "I will tell you where Professor Warren is held if you will get his plans for his newly invented gunpowder and turn them over to me." As he said that he backed up against the wall and pulled out a revolver! Holding the troop at bay, he sternly told Bob to lock the door. Bob hesitated but Lubuar repeated his command to Bob and the latter obeyed. While he held his pistol on the troop, he rummaged through the papers on the table, until he came to Ned's notebook! A step in the hall, and everyone turned their faces toward the locked door. Instantly Lubuar faced the door and beckoned for Bob to open it. The door was opened and there stood Adolph. JEANNE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY JEANNE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY On Sunday week little Jeanne Barbara Hunter of 1740 U street, northwest, was hostess on her fifth birthday to her friends. Her home was quite a fairyland of pink and green. The children were amused with recitations, duets, and games. The table was decorated in pink and green. The birthday cake, surrounded with pink roses and pink candles on top, completed the decorations. A number of presents were received by Jeanne. The friends present were Phyllis Bailey, Doreas Ellis, Doris Smith, Louise Smith, Norma Pinkney, Gladys Pinkney, Lucretia Lindsay, Jeanne Banks, Lemuel Patterson, Raford Ellis, and Robert Couze. DICK AND DAVID By Gabrielle Davis (11) Once there was a little girl whose name was Mary. One day her neighbor, Mrs. Day, gave her two little baby roosters. Mary thanked her and ran to tell her brother John about them. They named the chickens Dick and David. John made a house for them. One day a storm came up and Dick and David did not come home. Mary and John began to cry. Their father petted them and put both to bed. The next day Mrs. Ware, a neighbor, heard that Mary and John had lost their pets, so she gave them a pretty white hen. Neyertheless Mary cried because she had lost Dick arl David. In the summer the hen hatched twelve eggs. Mary named two of the chickens Dick and David. So she had Dick and David just the same, and eleven other chickens too. EDITOR'S CHATTER Edna Bond, your completion to the "Robert and the Conductor" story was very good, but came in a week after the contest had closed. There will be a similar contest to appear in this corner at an early date. In the meantime, send in a story. Easter stories are already being sent in. THE END OF MR. CAT By Robert Briggs (10) Once upon a time there were two neighbors, one's name was Mr. Cat, who owned a mansion, and the other's name was Mr. Dog, who owned nothing. One day Mr. Dog went down to the river and put a doll baby in the water to fool Mr. Cat. Mr. Cat had always wanted to be a hero, and he had asked Mr. Dog to give him lessons in life saving. So Mr. Dog went to the cat's house to see if he was home. It happened that Mr. Cat had gone down to the river where he saw the baby floating on the water. He took off his velvet coat and jumped in. Just then a very, very large fish passed by and he swallowed Mr. Cat. When the other animals who had gathered on the shore saw this they were happy because the rich old Mr. Cat had been cruel to them. They gave the mansion to Mr. Dog because he rid them of a mean and cruel neighbor. W. H.
