THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. 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.

CARTER CONFIRMED The Senate last Tuesday confirmed the nomination of James G. Carter, a foreign service officer of class 7, to be minister resident and consul general to Liberia. Mr. Carter will accept the appointment. It was at first thought that he would decline, preferring to remain in the consular service. The State Department, however, stated that he would not lose his consular standing by accepting this appointment and that at the expiration of his term as Liberian minister, he would be returned to the consular service. Mr. Carter succeeds Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, who resigned last August on account of illness.

Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, denied Tuesday that there had been any other suspensions of teachers in the public schools following that of Willis M. Menard, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, on a serious charge involving a girl student. Rumors have been current that three other teachers had been suspended on different charges. The suspension of Mr. Menard was effective February 21. He has retained counsel, Attorney Charles S. Cuney and Lieutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke, who protest his innocence. DR. 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.

MORSE, WELL KNOWN DRUGGIST, DIVORCED, MARRIED, DEAD IN 24 HOURS FEDERAL LIFE IN SUIT OVER STOCK CERTIFICATE Walter S. Johnson, through Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, has filed suit in Equity Court against the Federal Life Insurance Company, Inc., in which he claims to own a certificate of stock in the company to which the officers have failed to affix the seal of the corporation. 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.

He then purchased the property on the northwest corner of Nine- teenth and L streets, where, after remodeling, he fitted out what was considered at that time one of the most modern and well appointed drug stores in the District of Columbia. He was still engaged in business at that location at the time of his death. First Married in 1914 In August of 1914, he was married to Rosalie Hannah, a graduate student of the National Training School for Girls, in Lin- Mrs. ALINE CHANDLER MORSE coln Heights, D.C., who deserted him a few years ago to live in Chicago. She took the only child born of the marriage with her. The divorce granted Tuesday in Baltimore was from this wife. His bride, who so shortly became a widow, is the daughter of Mrs. Mary C. Chandler and the late George F. Chandler, of Baltimore. She is a graduate of the high school in Baltimore, and attended Fisk University. She has been a resident of Washington for three years. Attorneys Gaskins and Bowler, (Continued on page 2) WIFE IS GIVEN DIVORCE FROM WESTERFIELD WIFE IS GIVEN DIVORCE FROM WESTERFIELD Justice Jennings Bailey in the equity division of the District Supreme Court, Tuesday awarded Mrs. Rachel C. Westfield, an employee of the Printing Office, and who lives at 750 Harvard st., northwest, a limited divorce from Samuel C. Westfield. Under the court order she is given the permanent custody of their two children, Samuel, Jr., 8 years old, and Anna Elizabeth, 6 years old. An order requiring Mr. Westfield to pay $25 a month toward the support of the children was also made permanent. Attorneys for Mr. Westfield made no defense. He has fled from the jurisdiction of the court. He left the District of Columbia shortly after the court granted Mrs. Westfield temporary alimony August 7. 1925. 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." Y.W.C.A. NEWS Y.W.C.A. NEWS The membership social, with the "Colonial Dames" as hostess, rendered a splendid musical and literary program on which some of the best local talent appeared. Mrs. Ethel Smith of Boston, Mass., rendered two vocal solos, accompanied by Miss Eva Dykes. The delegation from the local Y. W. C. A. has returned from the Mid-Winter Conference in Philadelphia, which was held February 26 and 27. Seven delegates were present. The topic "The Relationship of the Industrial Girls of the Y. W. C. A. to the Y. W. C. A. itself," was presented in an address by Miss-Anna Owens. The dinner meeting was addressed by Dr. Jesse Holmes. His subject was "How girls can function in Industry." He brought out the fact that the bad organization of society allows for a parasitic class can only be remedied by the girls of industry, and by their organized efforts. The first hike of the season will be Saturday. Any girl may go. Dr. J. W. Morse, Dead Dr. J. W. Morse, Dead (Continued from page 1) representing the estate, when asked about the will, stated that it is too soon to give any estimate of the value, or the disposition of the estate. Reliable information, however, places the value between $75,000 and $100,000. Dr. Morse is survived by a daughter from his first marriage, Musette Morse, eight years old, now living in Chicago; by his widow, Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse; a brother, William, of Detroit; and a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, of Philadelphia.

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. 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. Margaret Burton of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to the burden of motherhood. No one I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and will be able to tell you who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 244 Kansas City, Kansas. Correspondence will be strictly confidential.

Big Pay Jobs Given to All Big Pay Jobs Given to All GREAT COMPANY OFFERS EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY This is certainly the land of opportunity. 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. A feature of the plan is that each person will be their own boss working as little as they please. The company said they had tried out the plan and had hundreds of letters of thanks from people.

"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. Now I could have a 'date' every night in the week if I wanted it. I'm engaged to a wonderful boy who thinks my hair is beautiful and is always praising it. I can't thank Hi-Ja enough.

With Slim Henderson as its rud- der, 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 over- taken and passed by the Conway- ‘Taylor Men-O-Court. ; ‘The lanky center cut loose in the last half and repeatedly broke 2- way from Sauber to get chances a 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 col- ored 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 re- placed the veteran Benny Hill in the Carlisle line-up started the scoring with a pretty overhead lop- er. O'Malley, however, inserted a doubledecker and the same margin was regained, Henderson obtained a foul toss, made good, and on the next tap took the ball into the basket and caged it. Again, however, O’Mal- ley duplicated by succeeding on a shot for basket and being fouled made one of his two free’ throws. With the count 20-1 against their team Hawkins and Henderson got? 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 resump- tion of play O'Malley, by virtue of his beautiful angle shot, brought back the white team’s lead. Short- ly 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 Hen- derson 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, Carlisles gf p\Yankees gf p Hawkins,f 4 210/Sweeney,f .3 3 9 Braddick,f 20 4|J.Mitchellf 0 1 1 Hender'nje 4 511|Saubere ..0 3 3 Simms,g ..0 0 O/Bdelsteing “1 0 2 Jones,g ...0 1 1Moserg ...1 1 3 Hill ../.0 0 0}0°Maliey,e 3.17 ‘O-Mitchell,f 0°00 Totals 10 a24l Totals ..9 8 25 Referee: Miller, Time: 10 minute quartes. | MORGAN WINS 17-10 OVER | WILBERFORCE* | ees Biv Sexe Liey “T told you so,” was all you: could hear in every corner of the Rich- mond Market Armory. last Monday night when Morgan College de- feated the Wilberforce University ‘quint 17-10. “I told you so,” was ‘clamored Joud ad long when Wa 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 litth Sheffy, substituting for Hill, crowned himself, with glory, an¢ filled in equally sis well, if not bet- ter than, the past master himself.

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 ascer- tained, 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 oe be a city-championship affair. It has usually been the case in lisle-Aleo 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 fe from the Black and White team in such a series last year, have lést one game to the Carlisles, but no more—hence the Carlisle five is still a chal- lenger. 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 Anoctsia Eagles, the Stanton’s and the Holman Wonder Five the Yankee machine was way down. 4 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 Egle 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 Tur- ner, 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 bas 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. —_—_—_— eee OO SECOND ALCO- 'RENAISSANCES ME SPINA ae hic dy ‘Ricks, Saunders and Mayers in aa ‘ ter Ralee Alco A.C.

Totale- ..4-240 Probable Line-uns RENAISSANGES DEFEAT PHILS PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—A nore passing combination, an air tight defense, and some uncan- Reine on the part of Pappy sks and Mayers, enabled the Re- naissance 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 Sesquicen- tenial boys on Sunday night, on the floor of their own bailiwick in New York; the Renaissance machine ar- rived here tonight, to find a gallery of more than fifteen hundred fans, most of them of darker hue, ac- cepting all the prevailing odds of three to one, that the Bob Doug- lass machine would duplicate their feat. From the moment that the tim- er’s whistle formally opened the ceremony, the Renaissance aggre- gation 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 sleey 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 drib- bled 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 pas- ses, 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 yas and four fouls for a to- tal of 18 points. The opening of the second session proved a thrill- ing one, full of intense feeling or the part, of the fans.

C. guard, last Sunday, the Comunity Yellowjackets lost theit 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 tly by Tripp’s 20 of his team's points, gave the Yellowjackets their first Sunday loss, and third loss of the season in a total of 26 games. Satin slow the contest took on 5 lier proportions as it pro- sed. Neale’s basket was the Efst of the pastime, and it followed closely by Goock’s and Tripp's suc- cessive foul tosses. From that int throughout the first half Bommunity ‘scores were matched, A free throw by Thomas just prior to the whistle gave the Orange and Black Warriors a 1 point ad- vantage to rest on. : Returning fresh from the wind grabber, Tripp with his uncanny shooting got started. His first bas- ket put the Green and White a- head, 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 be- fore 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 a- go 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 hefore. — Though, in the final stages of ‘the game, Tripp continually stayed down under his basket and took pass after pass to cage shots, un- molested, the Community's let him go unnoticed and failed to have him covered. ‘This more than anything else proved the colored boys” undoing. Neagie Ellis, Yellowjacket main- stay, was kept out due to an in- fury’ of undetermined seriousness, until as a last resort he was called upon with 3 minfites to play. Dur- ing his participation he accounted for 2 goals from scrimmage. HOWARD TRIUMPHS OVER MORGAN | ORANGE, N. J., March 8—How- ard 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 mem- bers of the Morgan team were play- ing 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 “outdid” 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 18-13. 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, fo. third five minutes was esgen- fal, ‘Things started to break then and the fast pace began to tell on Lanky Jones and his four horse- men. Howard scraped up three points to Morgip’s one to win one of the hardest, Yastest, best games ever seen in those parts by a score of 23-21. And so, Howard took Mor- gan’s messure..

' ROSS and SWANN 7 MAGAZINES oa SOFT DRINKS WILBERFORCE BEATS HOWARD AND ALCOES Sporting the Gold and Green of the Wilberforce University ,a half dozen lads headed by our own Ted Thompson, National Tennis Cham- Pionship 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 Col- onnade where they won an over time contest from the Aleo City Champions, 35-34, ‘The first game was a scheduled affair, while the second was ar- ranged upon the Ohioans’ arrival in Washington, when they were re. ‘quested 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 com- i it. “ward and Ritchio, both of foot- ball fame, were the outstanding performers of the Howard game, while this same pair were respon- sible for the local downfall in the tilt_at the Colonnade. ‘Thompson, formerly 2 star with the Sentinel quint of three years ago, fit in nicely with the Western combination displaying a very cre- ditable game at guard. : Little “Fluffy” Evans working in conjunction with Ritchie at the forward post, gave a beautiful ex- hibition of his uncanny knack of drawing fouls. During the course of the evening, the diminutive Obioan 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. a ‘The third quarter was a repiti- tion of the first half, but oh my! what a change took’ place begin- ning 6 minutes before the finsh with the score 28-13 Hope shot a basket from an exceedingly dif- ficult angle. ‘This 2-point gain on Wilberforce was of no avail, how- ever, when Ritchie caged a basket from the sideline. Suter's field INTER-CLASS GAMES AT. ARMSTRONG HIGH ‘The Iter-class Basketball series, now under way at the Armstrong High School, under the supervision of I. N. Miller, and E. P. West- moreland, has, to date, proved ex- tremely popular. These games played, for the mos' part, Mondays and Thursdays ar: for the purpose of showing th: students who do not play with th varsity teams, just how much bene fit ean be derived from such com. petition. Working on the theory that suc cessful development of any sort o organization must begin at the bot tom, Coaches Westmoreland, an Miller are striving to interest al students who are as yet lacking en ‘thusiasm in the winter sport. The first games of the inter-clas series were played last Monday when the 1-A Freshmen met and conquered the Sonhomore quint and the Juniors were victorious over the 1-B Freshmen. — These scores were 15-14 and 19-12 respec- tively. Following is the remainder of the Inter-class series schedule: March 7: 1-B Freshmen vs. Soph- ‘mores. 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 Fresh- men 1-A ‘Freshmen vs. Juniors goal and foul shot reduced the vi- sitors’ lead to 30-18. From that point Alco baskets rained in in rapid fire order. Cap- tain Turner looped one from center, and another from the deep side- line. Whitted scored a double- decker from the 15-foot mark and when Harris duplicated for the fifth successive Aleo basket, the count stood Wilberforce, 30; ‘Alco, 26. Following a Wilberforce time out during which Thompson re- entered 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 searing. “oNE HOUR OF Love” aT THE| — Dyd’s Dope How much can you love? What would you: do in “One Hour of Love”?

Manager Engleberg 0! 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 seat- ing about six or eight hundred, but no stage room. It is a shame that such beautiful little theatres, so well managed, haven't the faci- lities to produce shows. I also met the ol ky 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 ac- corded a hearty welcome by the lo- cal stage hands. We talked of the good old days for hours. It really Tiade ‘me feel good to have them say so many good things about me to the members of the Sambo Com- pany. 5 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 man- ager, had discharged his duties well and that C. Manly, my train- er, had carried out his orders and shipped to Bowie, Md. and got the nags to going. I will run out early ne morning next week and time & few of them ax the time is not long now before they will strut their stuff. Oh, boy! But if they fail to strut(?) this can not be an- swered at this writing, but if they fail, rest assured the answer will be in these. columns. L orice refused $1500 for Strut Miss Lizsie 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.

PICTURE Dr. Schwartz Dis- cusses 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 eae Mortality in the District of Columbia with. Reme- diat Suggestions.” He pointed out that over a Srereee Deriod the death rate among Negroes in the District of Columbia had exceed*d the birth rate by 1,641 deaths. Without an influx of colored per- sons into the District of Columbia, he pointed out, there would ulti- mately be an extinction of the bb is population here. e predominant causes of the high death rate sheng inet per- sons were given by Dr, Schwartz as pneumonia, tuberculosis, heart disease, Bright's disease and infant mortality. Deaths from heart dis- eases among, colored people, have taken a sudden jump within re- cent years, he said. Child Hygiene Needed Dr. Schwartz __ particularly stressed the poet need for child hygiene service in order to lower the death rate among colored People. In a discussion that followed, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson of How- ard University declared that if a movement for better health is to be started, it must be started by Negroes, among Negroes and for eee He said that health is a national problem and the national conscience must be aroused. Dr. M. 0. Dumas asserted that the high death rate among Negroes is due largely to economic condi- tions. He cited examples of pov- erty which had prevented the prop- er medical treatment of cases where patients ae 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 fail- ure or refusal of municipal au- thorities to appoint colored health officers who would be interested in health conditions among Negroes. ‘The meeting was very largely attended. . pa: plage) aieeves plead by him “At the Spinnin, ‘hee!” (Goddard), was well delivered.

But the advance has been achieved as the result af individual effort and aspiration, and in thé face of @ lack of that solid popular support which has characterized the advance of other racial groups. A people living under the eondi- tions of the Negroes should show @ larger group consciousness and solidarity than the Negro is show- ing. The masses of our people are not supporting members of, their ace engaged in business to the ex- tent 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 busi- ness, the Negro banker is receiving nothing like the support ‘he de- seryes. 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 aything that could be set forth in an article a$ short as this must be. But it will take time and labor and intelligent: mis- sionary 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 roce en- terprises. 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 neces- sary lesson home. The preacher, the teacher, the publicist, the lec- turer, éach can make a contribution to this result. There ought to be large patron- age of all existing race enterprises. There ought to be enterprises in new. lings. Any other race with the numbers of the Negro race in this community would not be con- tent with present business condi- tions. The people are sound at heart they are loyal to a race ideal What is needed is a leadership in ‘Schoolroom, pulpit, press and plat- form that can discuss and explain to the masses those great genera! principles of economies and history which have been the guideposts of the races that are now in the yan- guard of mankind, We need to connect our own pe- culiar difficulties with the general drift of human affairs. It takes large knowledge and information to do this but it is a line of en- deavor that will assist the race to reach a higher level of well-being and social efficiency, Her is an PLANS MADE TO REFINANCE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY At a recent meeting of the trus- tee board of the Virginia Theolegi- cal Seminary and Coleg, Lynch: burg, Va., and the Virginia Baptist State Convention, plans for re- financing the school were presented by B.

HELPFUL CRITICISM | There is all the difference in the javorld between criticism and fault | finding. Criticism is a highly use- fal and necessary function, and the | wovla can not. get along without |it, Fault finding, on the other hand, is an annoying, pestiferdus | practice indulged in by persons not | distinguished for judgment or dis- crimination, As an illustration of criticism, and not feult finding, the following news item may serve a useful. purpose: i ¢ Samuel Insull, organizer of elec- tricity said: “In Chicago last week | T went toa hall in the black belt to address the National Negro Press Association. I waited two hours for the esting ta begin. ‘Then I aad: ‘If St. Beter uses a white man's time-table the Negro will never get to the land beyond.’ “Theiftlessness! enldJ,‘s the Ne- 's great handica) hess of time, health, mouey. Chi cago Commissioner of Health Bun- desen followed me, urged’ Negroes to eat properly so as to avoid ane- mia, pneumonia, rickets.” Mr, Insull is the traction mag- nate who financed the primary cam- paigh of Colonel Frank: Smith for the Ilinois. 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 eriticism of a man of this type is most weighty, and is deserv- ing of careful. thought and consid- eeu: As his reflection had im- mediate relation to the meeting of the National Negro Press Associa- tion, the Tribune feels that it is Es inappropriate to remind our group that here is a matter calling for discussion with a view-to cor- recting the defect pointed out by ‘Mr. Insull. ' Our churches are not prampt in commencing thelr services. Our committees of all sorts seldom meet on the hour, named in the call. And ‘we might proceed with enumera- ‘tions ad infinitum, | The habit of punctuality lies at the base of all the qualities essen- tial for success in any calling. No one, it seems to us, however sensitive or supersensitive he may be. can deny the truthfulness of Mr, nsill’s criticism, and of its essen- ‘tial helpfulness if considered in the right spirit. “THE NEGRO LITTLE THEATRE” s The Crisis for March has some- thing to say about the “Little Ne- gro Theatre.” There'is an organi- zation of white people in Washing- ton known as ithe “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. Phil- lips P. E.

I therefore asi permission as a citizen and. tax- Payer to say a word on this subject, ‘MBsing a trained teacher, 1 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 experi- ence, gained by either travel. or feontact; when such a person. has hhad only the narrow experience of teaching year after year threc igrades 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 Janguages; half of whom have done in addition to four years of collesre work, advanced study in’ the. best graduate. schools and” many of whom have travelled and_studied langyages among natives, Not only ig this a handicap but nothing other than friction can be expected from such a condition.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor I CTE: rg eots aint eee ‘THE WONDERFUL SWORD | JEANNE’S BIRTHDAY PAR’ In Scotland there was a skilled worker in medals, whom the people called Robert. He had working for him a boy called Carl. This Dox 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. Thad servants to do my yell and many knights and soldiers fought for me. Twenty years ago a man killed’ my eldest brother. My father in rage ordered this man tovgive him a ransom. The man’s companions offered my fath- er some red cursed gold. He ac- cepted 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 work- ing. 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 @ 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 forvrard and tried. It did not budge. Ey- erybody tried but failed. I pulled it out, and it lies in my shop to this day. I ‘will give it to. who- ever consents to go and fight Faroff.” Carl said, “I will go and fight this dragon. Much wrong hus 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 sev- enty feet high dnd 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 defeat- ed him, FRANK ARMSTEAD THE BOY SCOUTS’ SUCCESS By W. H. Smallwood, (age 12) (Continued from last week) _. CHAPTER 4 | “Well sir, is there anything we jean 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'l 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 blurtetd oct, “I have an impor- tant matter to discuss.” Then he continued, “I represent the Se- eret Guild of Italy, I have been sent over here with my co-worker whom you shall call Adolph . He is a’ French army ex-officer 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 bovs taken this sudden interest in. the ‘disappearance of Professor War- ren?” When he asked this ques- tion 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 @ slight frown, then contin- ued, “Well, it happens that 1 know where Professor Warren. is.” The boys arose and immediately grabbed Lubuar by his collar, Bob strode over to Lubuar and sncer- ingly 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 cooly said to the troop, “I have about stood your actions long enough and since I did not come here to quarrel 1 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 wil tell you where Professor Warrer is held if you will get his plans for tie seaiy Savanted gunpowdle 4 m over to me.” po pulled ou weet Haute ‘the caee Bags a steely Sold Bob to ‘tock the door. hesitated but Lu- buar repeated his. command to Bot and the latter obeyed. | Whil> he held his pistol on the troop, he through the papers ot the table, until he came to Ned’ ‘A step in the hall, and everyone feet ace eects dine geed the door and beckoned fo Boh to open it.

One tes hor 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 Da- vid. 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 nsigh- bor, heard that Mary and John had lost their pets, so she gave them a pretty white hen. Neyer- theless Mary cried because she had lost Diek ar. 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.

CAT By Robert Briggs (10) | Once. upon a time there were two neighbors, one’s name was Mr. Cat, who owned 1 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 hero, apd 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, yery 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.
