SCHOOL GIRL SUES FOR $5.000 NURSES ARE INDIGNANT; SECRETARY WORK ORDERS HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION FIRST in Advertising and Circulation SCH NURSES ARE SECRETARY HOSPITAL IN The first meeting of the committee of nurses that will investigate the Freedmen's Hospital nurse training school was held Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the Interior, outlined to it the scope of its work. This committee consists of superintendents of nurses appointed by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service, the surgeon general of the Navy, and the surgeon general of the Army from each of their services to make a study of the Freedmen's Hospital nurse training school. This committee was appointed at the request of Secretary of the Interior Work. The Freedmen's Hospital nurse training school is lacking in personnel and equipment. An effort to improve conditions was made when President Coolidge on March 2 transmitted to Congress a supplemental estimate of appropriation for the Department of the Interior to provide additional facilities for housing nurses at Freedmen's Hospital. The amount asked for was $165,000. With the letter of transmittal from the President was also a letter addressed to the President by H. M. Lord, director of the Bureau of the Budget, setting forth the necessity and the reasons for submitting the estimate in the closing days of the sixty-ninth Congress. General Lord asked for the sum of $15,000 for an addition to and remodeling of the nurses' home at Freedmen's Hospital, and the sum of $15,000 for dining room and kitchen facilities. "The purpose of this estimate," he said, "is to provide for enlarging and improving the facilities for housing the graduate and student nurses at Freedmen's Hospital in the District of Columbia, so as to provide for an additional force. "The Secretary of the Interior reports that the present force of nurses is entirely inadequate to properly supervise and care for patinets, and that an additional force is urgently required if the hospital is to meet the proper standards of an accredited school of nursing. Increased Force "The Secretary states that the first step would be to provide housing facilities for an increased nursing force, leaving the matter of the employment of additional personnel to a future estimate." This estimate was caught in the legislative jam resulting from the filibuster against the Reed "slush fund" investigating committee resolution, and was never reported from the Senate appropriations committee to which it was referred. Petition for Removal Petition for Removal The student nurses are indignant. They have petitioned Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, to remove Miss Emma Mae Irwin, superintendent of nurses. The graduate nurses have become interested in the fight for improving the conditions in the nurse training school. They are appealing to Senators and Representatives to bring the nurse training school up to the highest standards. Since the nurses filed their complaint against Miss Irwin, the head nurse of the hospital, it is claimed that a reign of terror has existed at the nurse home. Several efforts to prevent the nurses from meeting have been made. Nurses who were considered leaders in the fight on Miss Irwin have been intimated in various ways. The situation has become so serious that Attorney George E. C. Hayes has been retained as counsel for the nurses. TWELVE STITCHES NEEDED TO SEW UP MAN'S FACE Twelve stitches were needed to sew up the wound in the face of Simon Stewart, 28, 1909 Seventeenth street, northwest, after he had been cut by Rosie Henry, whose address is unknown, during an altercation Saturday. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital in an auto and treated by Dr. Goldberry. He returned to his home. THE COMPRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E.

She was taken to the emergency ward. Ten minutes later, two of the teachers of Mott School, Fourth and W streets, northwest, went to the hospital to inquire of the seriousness of the injuries. They found Monica lying on a table in the emergency ward, having had no attention whatever. A few minutes later, the mother arrived at the hospital. She, too, found Monica lying on the table, unattended. After waiting several minutes more, and inquiring in the meantime when something would be done, Mrs. Ritmond asked for Dr. Martin, who conducts the clinic. Dr. Martin was able to get the little girl moved immediately to the children's ward on the first floor. The mother followed the child upstairs. She offered to help the nurse undress the child. The nurse, without hesitation, gave Mrs. Ritmond a gown for Monica and left, the mother alleges. At 5:30 p.m., when the mother returned to the hospital, she claims the child's face had not been washed, and her wounds had not been dressed. The accident occurred at 12:50 p.m., Monday. The little girl was running across the street when the automobile struck her. She was knocked down, and the car passed over her body. The car was driven by Leonard S. Campbell, white; and the accident was reported to the police at No. 8 precinct station. SENATOR HEFLIN TELLS HOW HE SHOT A NEGRO Senator Tom Heflin, Democrat of Alabama during a discussion of the filibuster in the Senate last Thursday night admitted that he shot a Negro several years ago. Heyin, after charging that Senator Moses, Republican of New Hampshire, brought up the incident to "embarrass" him, held up the filibuster debate while he related at length and in minute detail how, nine years ago, he fired two bulls into the body of a colored man. MARRIED WOMEN PROTESTED AT NORMAL At the meeting of the Barry Farms Citizens Association last Tuesday, a resolution was passed, and sent to the Board of Education, asking that married women be barred as students at the Miner Normal School. Several speakers said the practice of enrolling married women as students in that school began during the World War, and it was contended that their contact with young girls and boys is harmful to the younger children. It was pointed out that married students are not permitted in the Wilson Normal School. Copies of the resolutions will be sent to Dr. Frank Ballou, superintendent of schools, and to the Board of Education by Henry Braxton, secretary of the Barry Farm Citizens' Association. lashi Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY DR.J.T.WORMLEY HOWARD'S FIRST GRADUATE DEAD Dr. James Thompson Wormley, recently found, by a correction in the alumni files of Howard University, to be the first graduate of any department of the university, died at his home, 547 Florida avenue, northwest, Saturday. The funeral was held from his home Monday, at 2 o'clock. It was none too soon that the error which reported Dr. Wormley as having died in 1915 was discovered. He was living right in the shadow of the university. He Dr. J. T. WORMLEY lived, however, long enough to secure the recognition as having been the first graduate, and was honored at the Senior Charter Day Dinner held at the university on March 2. Dr. Wormley was born in this city, February 14, 1844. He graduated from the school of pharmacy of Howard University in 1870, he being the only member of his class. He worked in a drug store from the time he was in the public schools of Boston, and immediately upon graduation, he went into the business for himself. He opened his store on the southwest corner of Connecticut avenue and L street, northwest. He engaged for a time, also, in the hotel business. The last years of his life were spent in retirement. Dr. Wormley is survived by his five children, four of whom have served as teachers and directors in the public schools of the District of Columbia. The funeral arrangements were handled by McGuire's Funeral Home. NEW FRELINGHUYSEN SCHOOL BUILDING SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION The building, recently purchased by Frelinghuysen University at Sixth and M streets, was sold to the highest bidder at auction yesterday. Attorney L. Melendez King, 1904 Thirteenth street, northwest, was the buyer. It is stated that the above sale was the result of the failure on the part of the university to conform to all of the terms of the purchase of the building made several months ago. Mr. King stated to the Tribune that he bought the building in the interest of the institution; and that the university is making plans to re-purchase it from him. In the meantime, the school will continue to occupy the premises. The price offered by the highest bidder, Mr. King, was approximately $60,000. SEEK TO REPEAL JIM CROW LAW ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Senator McCardell of Frederick county introduced in the Maryland Senate Thursday, a bill that would repeal the Maryland "Jim Crow car" law. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1927 KELLY MILLER ADVOCATES RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION THRU A MAGAZINE ARTICLE By The Scribe To the March number of "Current History" Professor Kelly Miller contributes an article bearing the title "Causes of Segregation," in which he explains, upholds and champions the residential segregation of Negroes. A careful and dispassionate reading of the article will convince any one familiar with the subject that it is one of the strongest, if not the very strongest, of the augments for Negro residential segregation that any of its advocates have heretofore put forth. If the Nobel Prize should ever be awarded to the writer of the best article in 1927 favoring the segregation of Negroes in districts where it is numerically possible to do so, Professor Miller would be entitled to consideration. Japanese and Chinese In an article of more than three thousand words, Professor Miller has space for the statement of the arguments against segregation, of only one short paragraph of less than three hundred words. Professor Miller makes it appear that the opposition of Negroes to residential segregation is due to the desire to intrude upon the neighborhood of white people. In this connection he says: "In the Pacific cities the Japanese and the Chinese live in self-sequestered communities by preference rather than by compulsion. There is no conscious sense of self-belittement on the part of these non-white racial varities. It often happens that a group conscious of its own idiosyncrasies prefer its own community, to live according to its own manners, habits and social customs without embarrassing proximity to alien onlookers. The Indian never seeks close residential relationship with the whites, but like Milton's Satan, feels that 'furthest from him is best.' But an inferiority complex which traditional subordination has imposed upon the Negro has well-nigh robbed him of racial self-esteem. His attitude toward the white race is that of the subjunctive mood. Unlike the Indian, the burden of his refrain is "nearer to thee." Anything that tends to racial separation in any form he regards as an invidious discrimination which pushes him still further from the plane of equa (Continued on page 7) MAN SURRENDERS AFTER KILLING ESTRANGED WIFE MAN SURRENDERS AFTER KILLING ESTRANGED WIFE Warren Lee Queen, 27, 625 Morton street, northwest, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury by a coroner's jury Wednesday. He is charged with the murder of his wife, Mrs. Ada Queen 28, 426 Elm street, northwest. Queen confessed the shooting. He surrendered to Traffic Policeman John L. Rinker at Seventh street and Florida avenue, northwest, a few minutes after killing his wife. He told the police that he and his wife were estranged and that she "hadn't been treating me right." His wife had custody of their two children. The killing took place Tuesday afternoon at the home of 1 is wife. Mrs. Queen visited her husband about 3 o'clock in the afternoon at his residence wh.re an argument and fight resulted. Queen, police said, went to the woodshed and got a .32 caliber revolver. He fired one shot at his wife. She fled. He followed her to her home and shot her. She staggered to the sidewalk and fell. She was rushed to Fredemen's Hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival. William W. Adams and Sarah Adams were eye-witnesses to the shooting. Edward Sorrell, Mary Lancaster, Clara Butler and Lorenzo Butler saw the fight in the Morton street house. TEXAS PRIMARY LAW HELD NOT CONSTITUTIONAL TEXAS PRIMARY LAW HELD NOT CONSTITUTIONAL By Louis R. Lautier The United States Supreme Court Monday declared unconstitutional the Texas statute barring Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries in that state. The court held that the statute violates the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which guarantees to all the equal protection of the laws. The question of whether a primary is a part of the election, over which the United States Senate wrangled, was not passed upon by the Supreme Court. The Texas statute is a direct and obvious infringement of the fourteenth amendment that it was unnecessary to consider the fifteenth amendment, the court held. The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the United States court for the western district of Texas, which dismissed the suit brought by Dr. L. A. Nixon, of El Paso, Texas, against C. C. Herndon and Charles Porras, election officers, for $5,000 damages for preventing him from voting in a Democratic primary election July 26, 1824. Writ of Review The case came before the United States Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of review. It was argued January 4 last by Attorneys Fred C. Knollenberg, of El Paso, and Arthur B. Spingarn, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York City, on behalf of Dr. Nixon. On the brief for the plaintiff were Moorfield Storey, Judges James A. Cobb, Robert J. Channell of El Paso, and Mr. Knollenberg. No argument was made on behalf of the defendants, but the Attorney General of Texas was allowed 30 days in which to file a brief. The opinion of the United States Supreme Court was delivered by (Continued on page 5) DR.J.W.MORSE BURIED FROM 19TH ST.CHURCH Colorful ceremonies marked the funeral services, Saturday afternoon of Dr. John Willis Morse, 48-year-old druggist of this city, from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. His last rites like his last moments were cloaked in romanticism. Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse, the deceased wife of two hours, was a picture of bereavement, and as she leaned through the entire ceremony on the arm of her mother, Mrs. Mary C. Chandler, the young widow presented a pitiful scene. Following a prayer by Reverend P. A. Scott, of St. Paul's Church, who performed the bedside marriage ceremony, the Reverend Walter A. Brooks delivered the eulogy. At the close of the pastor's talk, Dr. William H. Jackson, proprietor of the pharmacy at Third and H streets, northwest, asked to be allowed to say a word on behalf of the Colored Druggists' Association of which the late Dr. Morse was a member. His talk dealt with the fine character of the deceased pharmacist. The honorary pallbearers were Dr. Harris, Dr. Board, Dr. Simmons, Dr. Burwell, Dr. Jackson, and Dr. Blackistone, while Dr. Taylor, Dr. Smith, Dr. Wilder, Dr. Walker, Dr. Gould, and Dr. Henderson were the active pallbearers. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. SEEKS AID FOR AID FOR TRAINING SC THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE MISS NANNIE H.

E. H. Taylor as executor of the estate of Dr. J. M. Morse. His bond was fixed at $10,000. Dr. Taylor was also given permission to continue the drug business. Arrangements have already been made to secure the services of several registered pharmacists. Through Attorneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and Robert J. Bowler. Dr. James E. H. Taylor filed a petition last Thursday for probate of the will of Dr. John Willis Morse, who died March 2. According to the petition Dr. Morse left real estate valued at $30,000, which is subject to an indebtedness of approximately $12,000. This property is No. 110 Nineteenth street where Dr. Morse conducted a drug business. This property rents for $1,764 a year. He left personal property of the estimated value of $6,000. It consists of his drug store, which is subject to an indebtedness of about $1,200, an automobile, a promissory note for the sum of $300, clothes, jewelry and a life insurance policy for $2,500. The other debts listed against the estate are a funeral bill of $647.67, expenses on account of his last illness amounting to $235, and current bills amounting to about $1,500. Asks the Court Dr. Taylor asked the court to empower him to conduct the drug store and to collect the rents and income from the real estate until testamentary letters are issued.

The drive was opened Wednesday night with a prayer meeting at the Third Baptist Church. The Conference Committee has asked every church in Washington to appoint a Training School Committee, whose business it will be to canvass the membership for contributions and pledges. The campaign will last thirty days and will be closed with a mammoth mass meeting at which time, the churches will report their gifts. The National Training School is the only girls school in the entire country that has been built by the race. There are five other schools for colored girls, but they have been built for the race, and are being financed by white people.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS HUMILIATION AND INJURIES ARE CHARGES HUMILIATION AND INJURIES ARE CHARGES Through Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Ernest Davis, a suit for $5,000 damages was filed against A. L. Reynolds, receiver of the Washington and Virginia Railway Company, for ejecting Myra F. Addison, a student of the Dunbar High School, from an interurban car. In the declaration filed by Mrs. Lillian Addison, mother of the girl, it is charged that a conductor forcibly ejected Miss Addison when she refused to vacate the seat in which she was seated. When she returned to get her property, it is alleged, the conductor again ejected her, knocking and pushing her from the car and causing her physical injury. Miss Addison was commuting from Alexandria, Va., March 31, 1926, when the conductor demanded her to vacate her seat for a white person. Her mother asks the court to award her daughter $5,000 damages for the physical injury, humiliation and suffering caused Miss Addison. MRS. BECKLEY SUES BOARD FOR RESTORATION Mrs. Dorothy Pelham Beckley, 527 U street, northwest, petitioned the District Supreme Court last Wednesday for a writ of mandamus commanding the Board of Education, Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, to rescind its order of February 2. transferring her from teacher of ninth grade English in the Shaw Junior High to teacher of eightth grade English and Ancient History in the Randall Junior High and to restore her, to her former position. Mrs. Beckley claims that her transfer from a teacher of ninth grade English to the position of a teacher of eightth grade English and Ancient History is a demotion in violation of the rules of the Board of Education which provide that a teacher may be transferred from one position to another of equal rank. "Transfer Unfair" She alleges that the transfer is injurious and unfair to her in that she has made no special study of the subject of history, and that she has never applied nor qualified as a teacher of that subject. She declares that she cannot teach history with the same degree of success and effectiveness that marks her teaching of English and that her standing and record as a teacher will be adversely affected if she is required to teach history. Stands High in English She passed an examination April 1, 1920, and was the first on the eligible list for appointment to teach English in the senior high schools, Mrs. Beckley, asserts, but consented to teach in the junior high schools at the request of Mr. Wilkinson, who advised her that he was anxious to secure first grade teachers because the junior high schools were in an experimental stage in the District of Columbia at that time. Since her appointment she has continually taught ninth grade English in the Shaw Junior High School until her transfer, she says. She is suited for this work, she states, by reason of her taste, training and education. She Protested Upon learning that her transfer was contemplated prior to the action of the Board of Education, Mrs. Beckley says, she protested. Mrs. Beckley asks the court to compel the Board of Education and Mr. Wilkinson to reinstate her in her former position or appoint her as a teacher of ninth grade English in a junior high school or a teacher of English in a senior high school.

EASY CREDIT FOR ALL TWO By Louis R..Lautier From the beginning to the ending of the second session of the sixty-ninth Congress, the question of the disfranchisement of colored persons in the South was continually under discussion. In the 37-hour filibuster conducted by Senators David A. Reed, of Pennsylvania, and George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, against the resolution of Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, proposing to extend the life of the committee investigating senatorial campaign expenditures and enlarge its authority, a demand for an investigation of the "unconstitutional suppression" of the Negro vote in southern states was the specter with which the Pennsylvania Reed sought to frighten inconsistent Democrats into opposing a further investigation by the "slush-fund" committee. An Absorbing Question Is the primary an integral part of the election and the process of election, so that it is within the right of the Congress to regulate it and of the Senate to investigate it? Reed of Pennsylvania put to individual Democratic Senators from southern states after reciting election returns in their states to show that the colored vote had been suppressed. If the primary is a part of the election, the Federal Constitution applies to it, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania contended, and practices in a primary which violate the fourteenth amendment cannot be sanctioned. Texas an Example Taking the State of Texas as an example of one of the places that might be investigated with profit to determine what methods are adopted, legal or illegal on their face, to eliminate from a share in the suffrage practically half of the population, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania declared that the state statute relating to primary elections in that state clearly "contravenes the spirit of the fourteenth amendment." He told Senator Earle B. Mayfield, Democrat, of Texas, that "in the last election for President that statute was in force, and no Negro was permitted to vote in your primary, and you never held a general election in 12 counties in Texas. So, in those counties no black man got a chance to vote at either time, because you would not permit him to vote in the primary, and you did not have a general election at which he could vote." 17 out of 12,000 Another illustration Senator Reed or Pennsylvania gave was the State of Alabama. In Marengo county, according to the last census, there were 12,360 Negroes more than 21 years of age and yet in the presidential election of 1924, he said, there were cast for President Coolidge only 17 votes. Senator Reed proposed that the Senate "find out how it can be that the presidential candidate of the Republican party can receive 17 votes out of 12,360 black people of voting age." In the last senatorial election the Republican candidate for United States Senator from Alabama received only 14 votes in the city of Montgomery, Senator Reed pointed out. Montgomery has a population of 43,000 persons. Among them are 19,800 Negroes. "I have been trying to ascertain," said Senator Reed, "the percentage of the qualified Negroes who have participated in the elec tion, who have enjoyed the suffrage that we have guaranteed to them after a somewhat long and arduous war and two constitutional amendments. The calculation of the percentage in Tallapoosa county, Ala., is difficult, but it comes to about one forty-third of 1 per cent, assuming that the one Republican who uprose at the election in 1924 was black. If he was white, then the percentage is smaller. The Negro does not qualify to vote in Alabama for two reasons, according to Senator Thomas J. Heflin, Democrat, of that state. "We have an educational qualification, and a poll-tax qualification, and the Negro will not pay his poll-tax in advance." he said. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania had figures only from the county of Crittenden in Arkansas. In the presidential election of 1924 only 77 votes were cast for President Coolidge. Crittenden county has 13,343 adult Negroes. One-half of 1 per cent of the persons that would reasonably be expected to vote for the Republican candidate voted, said Senator Reed. No Pay. No Vote The explanation of Senator Thomas H. Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, of this low Republican vote was that Negroes will not vote anywhere without pay and that white Republicans in Arkansas put the money into their pockets that was sent into that state. He added that the only white Republicans in Arkansas are officeholders. In Union Parish, Louisiana, which has a population of 19,621 persons, only 7 votes were cast for President Coolidge in 1924. In Tate County, Mississippi, which has a population of 19,621 persons, only 7 votes were cast for President Coolidge in 1924. Mississippi Senator Hubert D. Stephens, Democrat, of Mississippi, admitted that Negroes have not voted in the Democratic primaries in Mississippi since the election of 1899. There is no law that prohibits them from voting in the general elections, he said. In Mississippi, a person must be able to read and write or explain a section of the Constitution when read to him before he can register to vote. A poll-tax and all other taxes levied for the past two years must be paid. "Since 1899," said Senator Stephens, "whenever the leaders of the Democratic party want to provide for a primary election, a call is issued by the executive committee to the effect that on a certain date a primary election will be held at which all white Democrats may vote." Negroes may do likewise, he declared. South Carolina There were no elections at all in two counties in South Carolina in November, 1924, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania declared. They were Lee county with 26,000 people and Spartanburg county with 94,265 people. The votes of these counties, which were never cast, Senator Reed said, were record as if they had been cast for the Democratic candidates; "and yet the committee sees nothing to investigate down there." Senator Reed also cited the election returns from the State of Georgia, denied that there was any unconstitutional suppression of votes in his state. He said that in some counties Negroes even voted in the Democratic primaries. Please is as Usual Negroes do not vote in South Carolina because they do not want to vote, said Senator Cole Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina. "They have belonged to the Republican party ever since the Civil War," he stated, "and since the Republican party has been in office they can not even get the job of a Negro jaintor around the customhouse or the courthouse. The Republicans, give those jobs to the white folks. The Negroes have not even got a rural-free delivery mail carrier. If I may be excused a common expression, "Theyain't got nothin!"; and that is what they are going to keep on getting."

SHAW JUNIOR HIGH TO HAVE A SPRING PLAY SHAW JUNIOR HIGH TO HAVE A SPRING PLAY A special adaptation of Shakespeare's, "A Midsummer-Night's Dream" has been chosen as the Spring Play by Shaw Junior High School this year. The play is a comedy in three acts with a special musical score by Mendelssohn. The play is serving as a school project. The dramatic side is being handled by the English department; the music by the music department; the dances by the physical training department; the printing and advertising by the print shop; the posters and scenery by the art department; the sale of tickets by the entire school through the section organization. Practically every teacher and every pupil will assist in promoting the project. In the past Shaw has successfully rendered operettas including Gilbert and Sullivan's "All at Sea," "Martha," and "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." This year there will be a departure from the usual operetta. From the progress already made, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" promises to be among the best performances rendered by the school. SEEK BETTER LIGHTS IN THE U ST. AREA Through the efforts of the Colored Commercial Business Men's Association, U street may, in the near future, have the new type of electric lights installed. Commissioner Bell, with whom the light committee of the association was in conference last Tuesday afternoon, seemed to be very much in favor of the plan. He showed the delegation a list of the streets that were to receive consideration and U street was found placed at the top. G. B. Reid, chairman of the light committee was assured by Mr. Bell that the request he made would obtain every possible attention and that the commission would see to it that U street would be considered first. At present U street from Ninth to Eighteenth is lighted by electric lamps, but it is the desire of the Colored Commercial Business Men's Association, of which there are more than one hundred race business men members, to have these old style lights replaced by newer types. SOUTHERN AID ISSUES FINANCIAL STATEMENT In an analysis of the financial statement of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, made public this week, the gross receipts of the company for the year of 1926 were $1,204,293.07. This amount represents receipts from interest on bank deposits, premium collections, interest on mortgages and loans, rents from real estate holdings, employees deposits, real estate sale, sale of capital stock, bills receivable collected, collections on real estate, mortgage notes, bonds, and numerous fees. The statement shows that from $200,000 to $250,000 of the cash balance of the company is placed in colored banks. Further, the statement points out, since the banks loan these funds to our people to buy homes and to conduct their businesses and professions, it is seen that the insurance companies and societies are the source or foundation of most of the economic activities of our group. The home office of the Southern Aid Society is in Richmond, Va. J. T. Carter is president, B. L. Jordan is secretary, and W. A. Jordan is assistant secretary.

I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will tell you. I will tell you who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge.

Woman's Hair Catches Man Miss May Griffen writes: "My hair was so short, snarly and dry and had no life in it at all, it simply was impossible to look as attractive as my friends. I was not popular with the men. I tried most everything and it seemed nothing would help me... Then I tried Queen Hair Dressing. . . . My! How wonderful that preparation is! Do you know that after using only five boxes, my hair has a beautiful marcel wave and a pretty gloss. Now I know why the show people use Queen. Everyone who sees my hair asks me what I am using and I am proud to tell them Queen Hair Dressing." Just send 25c in stamps to the Newbro Mfg.

"I wish I could have a heart to heart talk with every girl who has short, wiry hair. I know just how they feel. I know how men neglect them and even pity them because of their hair—You see I used to have short hair myself." "My hair was once the greatest sorrow of my life. It kept me from being popular; it kept me from being happy—nothing seemed to do any good—then I tried Hi-Ja. My hair started to grow like magic—almost two inches a month for a while. Soon it was so long, soft and silky that it reached my shoulders and was easy to comb. Men began to pay attention to me and to seek my company. Popularity and good times were mine at last. What a difference, and oh! how happy I am. I wish every short hairied girl to know of my experience and try Hi-Ja."

CALL NORTH 133 RED CAB TAXIS 24-Hour Service Cars for Every Occasion HAIL A RED CAB ANYWHERE TEXAS PRIMARY LAW NOT CONSTITUTIONAL (Continued from page 1) Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes. It is as follows: "This is an action against the Judges of Elections for refusing to permit the plaintiff to vote at a primary election in Texas. It lays the damages at $5,000. "The petition alleges that the plaintiff is a Negro, a citizen of the United States and of Texas and a resident of El Paso, and in every way qualified to vote, as set forth in detail, except that the statute to be mentioned interferes with his right; that on July 26, 1924, a primary election was held at El Paso for the nomination of Candidates for a Senator and Representatives in Congress and state and other offices, upon the Democratic ticket; that the plaintiff, being a member of the Democratic party, sought to vote but was denied the right by defendants; that the denial was based upon a statute of Texas enacted in May, 1923 and designated Article 3093a, by the words of which 'in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic party primary election held in the State of Texas' etc., and that this statute is contrary to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution." Writ of Error "The defendants moved to dismiss upon the ground that the subject matter of the suit was political and not within the jurisdiction of the court. The suit was dismissed and a writ of error was taken directly to this court. Here no argument was made on behalf of the defendants, but a brief was allowed to be filed by the Attorney General of the State. "The objection that the subject matter of the suit is political is little more than a play upon words. Of course the petition concerns political action but it alleges and seeks to recover for private damage. "That private damages may be caused by such political action and may be recovered for in a suit at law hardly has been doubted for over two hundred years, since Ashby v. White, 2 Ld. Raym, 938, 3d, 320, and has been recognized by this court. Wiley v. Sinkler, 179 U.S. 58, 64, 65. Giles v. Harris, 189 U.S. 475, 485. See also Judicial Code, sec. 23 (11), (12), (14). Act of March 3, 1911, c. 231; 36 Stat. 108, 1092. "If defendant's conduct was a wrong to the plaintiff the same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result. Important Question "The important question is whether the statute can be sustained. But although we state it as a question the answer does not seem to us open to a doubt. We find it unnecessary to consider the Fifteenth Amendment, because it seems to us hard to imagine a more direct and obvious infringement, on the Fourteenth. "That Amendment while it applies to all, was passed, as we know, with a special intent to protect the blacks from discrimination against them. Slaughter House Cases, 16 Wall. 36. Scarauer v. West Virginia, 100 U.S. 363." "That Amendment not only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color, but it denied to any state the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws. . . . What is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white; that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the states, and, in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed, that no discrimination shall be made against them bv law because of their color?" Quoted from the last case in Buchanan v. Warley, 245 U.S. 69, 77. See Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 374. Color Distinction The statute of Texas in the teeth of the prohibitions referred to a clause to forbid Negroes to take part in a primary election the importance of which we have indicated, discriminating against them by the distinction of color alone. "States may do a good deal of classifying that it is difficult to believe rational. There are limits, and it is too clear for extended argument that color cannot be made the basis of a statutory classification affecting the right set up in this case." WILL OF DR. MORSE IS FILED FOR PROBATE (Continued from page 1) daughter, Musette, his real property at No. 1100 Nineteenth street, contents of a box of rare coins, and currency in his safe. He leaves to Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse, whom he married two hours before his death after having been awarded to a divorce from his former wife, Mrs. Rosalie Morse, in Baltimore, Md., on the day before, one-third of his entire estate including money in bank life insurance policies, stocks and bond certificates, household effects and automobile. Many Bequests Howard University is left the sum of $500. for pharmaceutical research; the National Training School for Women and Girls; $500; BANDITS GIVEN TEN YEARS EACH The three white bandits, who a little over a month ago kept terror in the hearts of Washington store-keepers, were sentenced to serve ten years each for robbery by Justice Hoelhing in Criminal Court Number 1, last Saturday. Several colored persons were instrumental in the apprehension of the, at that time, long sought criminals. The men, Joseph Henderson, 24, Thomas Asble 22, and John Williams 19, had been terrorizing local merchants for some time when on successive nights they were balked, when they were attempting hold-ups, by Negro residents of this city. On Wednesday night, January 19, they were frustrated in their conspiracy against the Sanitary Grocery Company store at Twelfth and T streets, northwest, when Charles H. Watkins, a tailor two doors above, acting on a tip furnished by Marjorie Collins, 17, of 1005 Twelfth street entered the store and routed the would-be hold-up men. The next night, Thursday, January 29 after robbing A. C. Luber at Thirteenth and Columbia Road the car in which they were speeding from police collided with a red Cab Tax driven by Benjamin Parrott and two of the fugitives were badly injured. Since their recovery they admitted to numerous hold-ups and robberies, and last Saturday they were sentenced. JUDGMENTS CONFIRMED AGAINST MASONIC BLD'G JUDGMENTS CONFIRMED AGAINST MASONIC BLD'G An order restraining the payment of two judgments against the New Masonic Hall Corporation was set aside last Friday by Justice Jennings Bailey. One of the judgments is for $5,000 and costs. It was obtained by Mrs. Roberta C. Hastie. The other judgment is for $2,800 and costs. It was obtained by Isaac S. Mason. Both Lear interest from December 3, 1926. Both of these judgments were obtained November 5, 1926. On the same day the Charles Datcher Lodge No. 15 of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free Ancient and Accepted Masons filed suit to onjoin the payment of the judgments. A temporary restraining order was issued January 17 last. The court required the plaintiff to file a bond of $0,000 in case of Mrs. Hastie and of $3,500 in the case of Mr. Mason. Upon the failure of the plaintiff to secure bond, Mrs. Hastie and Mr. Mason through Attorneys Houston and Houston asked the court to set a clause the temporary restraining order. Assets Available Mrs. Hastie and Mr. Mason, it is said, will be able to realize in full on their judgments out of the assets that are available for discharging the liability of the corporation. The judgments were based upon an assignment of counsel fees of Attorneys Houston and Houston for an accounting and receivership brought by Charles Datcher Lodge in connection with the unfinished Masonic Temple at Tenth and U streets, northwest, which was sold at public auction to the Masonic Grand Lodge and transferred by it to S. J. Solomon (white) for completion. Work has not yet been resumed on the building. 24TH INFANTRY MEN GET SENTENCE REMITTED By direction of the President, the Secretary of War has ordered a remission of 18 months in the sentence of 29 former members of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, who are the only prisoners now remaining in confinement as a result of the so-called Houson riot of August 21, 1917. As a result of this action, these 20 prisoners will become eligible for release on home parole within the next year from the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Sixteen will be eligible in June, 1927; two in November 1927, and the final two in February, 1928. These remaining prisoners all originally received sentences of life imprisonment. Later their terms were reduced to 30 years. The remission of 18 months in their sentences further advances the date of completion of one-third of their terms when they become eligible for release on parole to their homes. Dr. Lec A. Walker, $400; Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, $200; his nephew, Herbert Morse, $500; his nephew, Freddie Morse, $300; his nephew, John Morse, $100; his nephew, Clarence Morse, $50; his niece, Florence Morse Lee, $100; Evelyn Ross, $100; Herbert Morse, his gold watch; William Glen Thompson, his diamond stick pin; his sister, Lizzie Morse Payne, $5; and his brother, William Morse, $5. Dr. Taylor is appointed executor of his will, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the guardian of his daughter, Musette, until she becomes of age. Mrs. Rosalie Movez, his first wife, has custody of Musette. The will is dated February 26. It is witnessed by Mrs. Ruth Cumber and James P. Cumber. MR. AND MRS. DORSEY RHODES LEAVING By Wellington A. Adams Washington and Howard University is about to lose two of its best musicians in the persons of Sergeant Doreye T. Rhodes and Mrs. Doreye T. Rhodes who will leave here March 20 for Fort Riley, Kan., where Sergeant Rhodes will serve as army bandmaster. Sergeant Rhodes has proven himself while stationed at Howard and adept band instructor, excellent musician and one of the finest baton directors in the country with rhythmic grace that few equal anywhere. Mrs. Rhodes equally is a fine [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Sergt. DORCEY T. RHODES musician and a lady of first rank. Undoubtedly she has proven a great asset to her husband in numerous ways meantime being delightfully charming and gracious in personality. There are few women her equal in heart and in spirit in the advancement of the cause of better music in the community. She never loses an opportunity to encourage it. The city will assuredly miss both of them. EASTERN LEAGUE CONSIDERS D.C. By using well considered plans the commissioners of the Eastern Baseball League have devised a way to increase the 1927 pennant chase to 120 games, almost doubling any schedule that has been attempted in prior years. The movement has been prompted and may be attributed to at least two distinct reasons. The field of independent clubs of this section that has always supplied a substantial number of paying contests, in addition to league games, has dwindled until but few of these free lances remain in business. Then too, the interest of the fans has been keen for league contests and the men behind the game are zealously in earnest to put organized ball over on a higher scale. But discretion must be exercised and in order not to overload the present parks with too much baseball, the new system will be put in order. Already the league officials have made arrangements to lease parks at Richmond and Norfolk, Va. These cities were tried out with exhibited contests during the past season with very gratifying results. The well appointed parks of the Virginia League teams in these cities will be used. Both places have a large colored population but have no representative team in the professional ranks'. In order to make the most of the southern end of the circuit, Washington is being investigated and an effort will be made to include the city in the loop. In addition to Mt. Holly, the league will cater to the popular seashore resorts along the Atlantic coast. With the Bacharachs holding forth at the "play ground of the world." Atlantic City, will of course, be one of the cogs in the league's circuit. Parks have been obtained at Wildwood and Asbury Park. The Cuban Stars will very likely use the park at Asbury Park as a home stand, and the International League Park at Newark, N.J., is being considered for open Sunday dates by the owner of the Cuban outfit. Since the Royal Giants acquired a park in Brooklyn last season, all of the clubs have home parks. The Hildale ball tossers will be called together April 11, and on 14. 15, and 16 a series of games will be played with Chappie Johnson's Saints, Schenectady, N.Y. Chappie, who has always been a favorite around Philadelphia and is noted for his ability to develop youthful talent, will unwork his hired hands in Philadelphia after a three years' absence. Chappie isn't a bit backward in stating that he has one of the best teams that he has ever had in line. For April 21, 22 and 23, Danny McChellan's Philadelphia Giants who startled the natives down East with their deeds on the diamond last season, will get a chance to show in Quakertown and test the strength of the Philadelphia Eastern Colored Leaguers. Danny's team is a peculiar one, combining some familiar vets who are traveling the sunset trail and an array of flaming youth, some of whom are at the portals of berths with the top notchers. This counterbalanced ensemble swept all before them in its drive toward the Canadian borders last summer. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1927 MRS. C. BRAXTON ASKS PHI DELTA KAPPA MAKES DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND TWO NEW CHAPTERS Through Attorney Armond W. Scott, Mrs. Clara Braxton, 1513 P street, northwest, filed suit Monday for a limited divorce from John W. Braxton, Twenty-eighth street and Bunker Hill road, Brookland. She charges cruelty and desertion. She and her husband lived happily together until she underwent an operation, she says. On March 6, 1925, he put her into the streets without her having on any clothes, she declares, but relented and pulled her back into the house and told her to dressed and get out as quickly as she could. She returned the next day upon his promise to do better. He finally deserted her on January 31 last, she alleges. She is in destitute circumstances and is about to undergo another operation at Freedmen's Hospital. She asks the court to require her husband to pay her medical bills and hospital expenses. She also asks for temporary alimony and counsel fees. MRS. BROOKS SUES SENATOR FOR $10,000 Mrs. Hattie Brooks, widow of Alexander Brooks, is suing Senator George F. McLean for $10,000. On January 21, Mr. Brooks was knocked down by the senator's automobile. He died as a result of the accident.

ADVERTISEMENT Why Our Death Rate is High By Charles A. Allen. 1525 5th St., N.W. In the two previous articles, I gave the two outstanding reasons for our high death rate, viz: (1) The ignorant manner in which we treat our own bodies, and those under our care. We fail to understand that our bodies are complicated, wonderful machines and that their care must be supervised by a physician who makes this machine his particular study. Ignorance of the laws of health, ignorance of the functions of the vital organs, a lack of medical guidance, and of periodical examinations bring disaster. It is too bad that, given such wonderful bodies, we were not endowed with sufficient intelligence to take good care of them. Nature is a hard master, however, ignorance is no excuse. The penalty must be paid when its laws are broken. (2) The lack of proper medical attention when we are sick. We consult a physician after home remidies fail and valuable time is lost. The disease has then invaded the body to such an extent that there is no hope for a cure. We are unwilling to spend the necessary time and money for the examinations necessary to make a correct diagnosis. We expect to be cured in short order—by a few doses of medicine, or a few treatments. This is an impossibility. Some diseases are never cured but by living the proper kind of life and by taking the remidies prescribed by a physician, cooperating with him in every way, the disease may be checked and a useful life insured. Our nursing care at home is un satisfactory. Our sick patients are cared for by loving relatives and friends who are ignorant of the rudiments of nursing. Of course there are other causes, but ignorance plus unwarranted optimism must command attention. The poor is always with us. Our wages are lower than the wages of the other race. We live in alley and courts. "When the white employers pay us better wages, then our high death rate will go down". was the verdict of a group of men discussing the tuberculosis situation. That is partly true. A bigger wage without necessary education on manners pertaining to health and disease would not accomplish much. I know many people who are now sick and able to pay for medical care but they are waiting to get worse before consulting a physician.

BOUSFIELD, President 3511. South Parkway, Chicago, Ill. But will the white people pay us much that they will voluntarily inbetter wages? Do they love us increase wages, so that the death rate will go down as low as theirs? Well, the millennium is not yet here. If we want more wages we must be worthy of more or we must demand more. Form more unions. Learn the trades. Be carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, painters, etc., instead of being mere helpers. Unskilled laborers are always easy to get, and easy to get rid of Every colored boy and girl should learn some trade, business, or profession, even though some privations may be suffered in so doing I am not a student of economics There are others better able to discurs this phase of the question, am only dealing with the facts as they are today. With the present wages, our people as a whole wear good clothes eat good food, though unsuitable for their bodies in some cases; they spend large sums on whiskey and amusements; they have expensive furniture,etc. By cutting down on some of these now essentials, they could have more money than they do, join more sick and life insurances to provide for themselves in cases of illness and in event of death, for their dependents. They could look after their bodies better, treat them as revenue producing machines, stop begrudging the amount of money necessary for frequent medical inspection. In other words, stop killing the hen that lays the golden egg. Adv. well-known lawyer arch 14 at Metropol TEMPI 1926 TO SPEAK HERE known lawyer, who will speak at 14 at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1927 LINCOLN DOWNS CHESTER, Pa., March 4—With “Stretch” Timmons, former Dun- bar athlete, in the star role, Lin- coln University’s basketball team downed the Howard quint 21-19 here tonight The Blue and White five went out ahead and at the half led 13-4. Coach Young started his second team, but was forced to withdraw it long before the whistle blew for the rest period. Resuming play the Lions found themselves in a “catch-up” posi- tion. Howard was widening the margin of her lead with every min- ute of play. Putting on steam the Lions came from behind and taught the visi- tors how to fight under fire. With 3 minutes to play Timmons tied the score at 19 all and a few sec- onds later Willington, Orange and Blue guard, tossed in the dicisive counter.

LOCAL PHYSICAL DIRECTORS ORGANIZE Responding to the call of Dr. E. B. Henderson, 15 of the 24 physical directors and instructors in physical education working in the schools, college, Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. in Washington met in his office Saturday morning and agreed to organize for co-opera- tive benefit and professional im- provement. Miss .Anita Turner, the pioneer in the field of physical education in Washington, was-urged to take the chairmanship but declined. For the temporary organization, Mr. Burr of Howard University was selected chairman. Dr. Hender- son took the secretary's job and Mise Clayda Williams, Mia. Mar; shall ‘Mr. Miller were appointed a cofiniittee to arrange a program to be considered by the club at its meeting on March 24, Tt was felt that a study of the problems in physical education and a periodic exchange of views and discussion would do much towards increasing the benefits to be de- rived through the medium of phy- sical education. Those present were, Miss A. J. Turner, Mrs. Mar- shall, Miss Marshall, Miss C. Wil- liams, Miss Spratlin, Miss Waugh, Miss Snowden, Miss Hall, Miss Da- vis, Messrs, Contee, Miller, Adams, Burr, Doneghy and Henderson. With the passing of the basket ball season the inter-mural games at Howard University gain in in- terest. Each Saturday witnesses a program of games between the team of Coach Burr’s Physical Training department. The games last Friday resulted in victories for the Outlaws. and Wonders. Saturday | the Senior Medics, the Nationals and the Out- laws won their games, The results are as follows; Friday— Outlaws 21, Lex 10 Wondersi7, Celties11 Saturday— Nationals 17, Celtics 9 Sr. Medics 24, Fresh. Medics 14 Outlaws 17, Drivers 14 Two formet Carlisle stars will meet in opposition tomorrow af- ternoon when the Virginia Semi- nary and College varsity meets the Omega Psi Phi Delta Big Five at the Lincoln Colonnade. Ed Davis, popular center of the visiting clan last year sported number 77 of the Check uniforms, while two years ago Louis Coates flashy Bison forward was also on Conway's and Taylor's roster. Davis holds the record for most points by an individual player in ‘one game. In the Virginia Semi- nary-Roanoke game, the former local idol garnered 15 baskets dur- ing the 40 minutes of the pasttime. ‘In Coates the stellar forward of Coach Westmoreland’s Gold and Purple machine, the Fraternity lads have a sterling performer who is unsurpassed in aggressivencss. This game marks the opening contest of Saturday afternoon basketball. The inter-fraternity ‘series begins next Saturday. - THE REFLECTOR In reference to the recent popularity contest the writer of this column wishes to comment on the sportsmanship of one of the lead- ing contestants. Soup Turner, who led throughout most of the chase, should be commended for the excellent quality, as a sport, he possesses, for hav- ing voted against himself even at a time when the battle was hottest, Turner sent in several votes for players who were pushing him for the contest lead. 5 This is the spirit that makes athletics worth while, and when it is found in an individual, it usually marks that player a star of the first water. Matt Taylor, one of the Carlisle joint managers, stated to the Washington Tribune sports reporter~last Monday morning that he was not to blame for the misrepresentation carried in the recent ad- vertisement before the Carlisle-Yankee basketball game held March Ist. This advertisement inferred that the March Ist game would be a city championship affair, when the'reality it was not. Mr. Taylor says that he requested referee Miller to announce before the game, that no championship was involved. At this pee threatening poe toward prohibiting Sunday basketball at the Lincoln Colonnade have been made by the new man- agement of the Lincoln Theatre and Colonnade. The management, which indicates that the last Sabbath basket- ball attraction has been staged, gives as its reason for “breaking it up” the fact that the front of the theatre is always crowded on Sun- day evenings and nights after the game is over. This reason does not, to this column, seem sufficient since with the approach of Spring the new manager will find a large congregation in front of his build- ing on every fair day or night. Such has been the case ever since the opening of the Lincoln, Sunday basketball to date has proven extremely popular, and before action is taken against its continuance both sides of the affair should be carefully considered. COMMUNITY'S “YELLOWJACKET” FINISHES AHEAD OF “ALCO” Yearling Wins in Driving Finish over Veteran Stallion The Orange and Black Silks of the Community stable floated above the winner in the match race against Henry Hill’s stallion, Alco. Yellowjacket, the Community year- ling, finished under the whip after at times having paced and at other times having led the older veterans of the turf, Truly, it was the sport of kings when Alco, the champion met Yellowjacket, the best in the recently bred lo of the padded oof. cantante shouted the ‘an- si as, responding to the release of that well known starter, Mouse Johnson, Alco and challenger strained and let fly. Under a good break the jockeys parried for a lead until at last the apprentice upon Yellowjack- et was forced to give way to the consistant digging of the Purple and White bearer. Coming up alongside a trifle later, however, the two mastet- pieces of machinery battled for their heads. At the quarter stretch they stood even, each having done his distance in seven seconds (points) flat. Yellowjacket on the inside of the track was repeatedly railed, but quick recoveries and instant retaliations kept him in the running. At the halfway mark Alco show- signs of “winding” and her pace gave away lengths, the yearling quickly taking advantage of the break and forging ahead (11-8) Across the infield the two could be seen undergoing much roughing each one taking his turn attempt- ing to pocket the other on the rail. Running neck and neck the stal- lion and yearling were found al- ternating in the lead as the three- quarter post was passed. Looking up the track, the“wise guys” back- ing the veteran saw their hopes turn. into the home stretch ahead (19-17), but immediatly on gain- ing the straight-away the jockey astride Yellowjacket brought his whip into play. The younster came up abead his older rival and went one length ahead. This advantage, however, was short lived, as, in a dying spurt, the stallion once’ more went into the van. Under a driv- ing finish the stamina of the yoar- ling proved too great a handicap for the stallion to overcome and when he gave up heart, the Yellow- jacket went out in first to win in three lengths, Archie, added star- ter—also ran. g fp gip Lacylf ..5111/Suter,]f ..11 3 Giveris,rf .1 0 2\Turner,rf 132 8 Thomase 2 0 4iBerry,e ...011 Leelg ----1 0 2)Harrisig 1215 Johnsonrg 2 0 4Graves.rf ..11 3 Nealerf .0 1 1/Kennerrg .0 11 Totals 11224 Totals .7721 Referee: Johnson; Winner: Com- munity stable’s yearling—Yellow- jackets (Time 40 minutes), In her second game of the sec- ond half of the Y.

DUDLEY FAILS TO FIND. JOCKEY I wanted and tried hard to get a colored jockey to develope for the coming season, but was not suc- cessful in my attempt, so this sea- son I have signed an agreement with Freddie Hopkins, trainer for H, P. Whitney to take Patsie Greco, whom I have now galloping. our horses. He is giving satisfaction, and I feel safe in saying that I be- lieve we will make another Work- man out of him. I might be ego- tistic in saying this, but this boy seems: to be made of the right material and has qualified in every way so far. He is very conscientious and likes the trainers; that’s two-thirds of the battle there, and above all he carries out orders and has respon- sibilities so he must work and listen, to be able to meet them. He is a gentleman in every respect so far. I am sure that we will encou- rage the lad and try and oe as he has presented himself. When he fails to respect himself other- wise, he is or will be at liberty. Most youngsters are spoiled by the treatment they receive from their employer. I think the tutors of kids are largely responsible for their failure.or success in all walks of life, so I made it a practice to watch and teach the kids I come in contact with and yse every effort without force £o show them right from ‘wrong. The best way to judge or tell a good boss is to ask the employee, Siow lank bave you heen working for Mr. John Doe?” If the answer is, “more than two years,” he’s a good boss, if it is, “less than two years,” either the employee or the employer is wrong, and all wrong. But I did not mean to mention all of these things when I started to tell you that we had secured a joc- key (white).Oh, where will Aunt Hager’s Children end? I sometimes wonder if there are enough houses of correction and I will stop at that. After all it’s the breeding that counts, and I see no reason why the lads of today shouldn't make better men and women than we are , for they have so many more advantages—but it’s the breeding in humanity the same as in horses, or any other animal, that tells. “But of course some- times we should use kind -treat- ment and spare the strap. Every time I use the word strap, I think of Barstrap, Texas—my home, but you can have it, I don’t want it. Music by A. Lyncher, words by me. Cc. G. C.

Graham, If ..... Armstrong Hackett, rf ...... Douglass Thomas, c. ...... Douglass Christian, If .... Armstrong Saunders, rg ..... Douglass The Sports department of the Washington Tribune is attempting this issue to name the outstanding High School players in their re- spective pcsitions, for the fast wan- ing basketball season. i The Baltimore Douglass High Faioal quint was of such superior libre that it made the local Dun- bar and Armstrong teams appear to be of mere mediorce class. Armstrong has two player on the mythical five, both of whom are captains, while Dunbar an admit- fediy green squad has no repre- sentatives. Graham, placed in the left for- ward position could not be easily overlooked despite the fact that tho Douglass High team had seve- ral very good men. This lad, captain-elect for 1928, played a stellar brand of basketball throughout the season, and was by a good margin the high point scorer for the Orange and Blue works. He that uncanny oe ot a ss aggregation is hea and shoulders above any of his rivals. The lanky “Duck” for some uncountable reason was kept on the bench in favor of players who in the writer's opinion were no where near his class. None of the games in which Douglass partici- pated, however, were finished with- out his entrance sooner or later. The boy is a diamond in the rough, and with careful coaching can be made into a star of the first class. Thomas —— a floor game that made him a_continuous thorn in the side to rival teams. Without Thomas at the pivot position, the Baltimore High School team would never have ap- proached the quality it possc:sed ‘this season. Captain.

BARY JOE GANS KNOCKS OUT BERCOT THEN DRIVES HIM TO HIS HOTET, LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 10 (Pacafic Coast News "Bureau)— Dode Bercot, a southpaw welter- weight was no match for Baby Joe Gans, colored lightweight champion in the main event at the Olympic Auditorium, Tuesday night. Gans punched the northwest logger diz- zy for three rounds and floored him in the fourth and almost K.0/d him out. After taking a severe beating for three more rounds, Dode was saved more punishment when his second .threw in a towel in the eighth after Gans had floored the white boy twice. Gans, after knocking out Bercot, met’ him in front of his dressing room and offered to drive him to his hotel.

SCANDAL IN OUR SCHOOLS The many incidents of serious import in relation to conditions in Divisions Ten to Thirteen of our public schools, and which have found their way into the public prints in the past few years, should engage the most painful, impartial and thoughtful consideration of the school administration. Some of these incidents go to the very foundation of all morality and conduct. They effect the moral and professional reputation of members of the teaching corps. Questions involving the behavior and conduct of the teachers of our youth cannot with safety to the well-being of the community be overlooked and whitewashed. In order to maintain this position it is necessary to set up severe and austere standards, or to be narrow, intolerant, fanatical and puritanical. The school administration is, however, bound to provide the school system with teachers and instructors who, in addition to their scholastic fitness for their positions, practice and exemplify the common and universally accepted principles of morality and ethics. It is not unreasonable to require of the teachers in the school system that they shall be honest and honorable in the practical, everyday relations of life; that they shall practice self-control, self-restraint and self-discipline; that they shall govern their tempers, their passions, their appetites and their desires; that they shall refrain from debauches and sprees; and that, generally, they shall conduct themselves with circumspection and dignity. Parents ought to be assured that their daughters committed to the instruction and control of male teachers will not be inveigled and enticed into paths that lead to mental, moral and physical contamination and destruction, and that their sons under the tutelage of elderly spinsters will not be ensnared into ill-advised and unfortunate love entanglements. The school authorities are under the strictest obligations of public duty to see that the public morals suffer nothing of hurt or impairment because of the conduct of the teachers whom they appoint to and retain in the system. The teachers come into more intimates relations and contact with the lives of most of our children than the parents themselves. Most of the parents follow occupations which take them out of their homes all day long. They come in at evening tired and exhausted by the labors of the day, and have no energy remaining to look to the morals or manners of their children. The teachers have these children under their immediate control and supervision for six hours or more during five days of each week. Childhood is the period of acute observation and ready imitation. The child has marvelous powers of apprehending and analyzing human character. RICHMOND VA. NEWS I. B. C.'s Entertain The I. B. C. Club entertained last Tuesday at the Armstrong High School Auditorium with a vaudeville attraction. The team of Ruffin-Davis, local dance artists, and the I. B. C.'s quartette, were among the features. After the vaudeville entertainment, friends and members went over to Johnson's Dancing Academy for the prom. Pre-Lenten Social "The Hewin" was all aglow with merriment on Friday, February 18, when Mrs. J. Thomas Hewin was hostess to the Saturday Evening Recreation Club, the Bon Tons, the F. F. Vs. Club and a number of friends at whist and five hundred. "The Hewin" is the resident apartment of Attorney J. Thomas Hewin and wife, at 1414 N. First street. From 6 o'clock to 9, games of whist and five hundred were played. At 9:30 the grand march was made to the dining hall where covers were laid for sixty. While the ladies were feasting, the gentlemen arrived, ready to follow out the program in dancing. Useful prizes were given to the successful players of each club. A Formal Birthday Party Honoring Miss Edna L., the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jordan, of Doughlass Court, a number of friends gathered at the residence last Friday evening. Music was furnished by a string orchestra. During the evening, Mr. Paul Morton sang "Kiss Me Again," and "Roses of Picardy."

This is mere common-place and platitude. But the things we are discussing are commonplace, and sordid and platitudinous, and that very reason are susceptible of correction. There is another phase of this matter to which attention must be called. The schools in Divisions Ten to Thirteen are almost a separate system, a separate organism, having an administration which is autonomous in most respects. Nowhere else have the colored people so large a voice in the management and control of their own schools. This fact carries with it an obligation at once weighty and compelling. While it would not be true that, if those now in positions of responsibility fail to do their full duty it would show that colored men and women can not be trusted with matters involving principles of morality and justice, it would be used by the enemies of the race as a precedent tending to show such. THE TEXAS PRIMARY LAW DECISION The Supreme Court of the United States has by a decision in which the nine members of the court concur, declared the "white primary" law of Texas unconstitutional. Whether this decision will affect the primary laws in other Southern States can not at this time be asserted. The Texas law was bold and raw, and mentioned Negroes, specifically, so that it was apparent on its face that it was in contravention of the plain provisions of the Constitution. Of course, if there are primary laws in other States which exclude Negroes by name, they fall by this decision. Just how other primary laws, made with a view to prevent Negroes from participating in Democratic primaries are affected can be determined only by a careful study of their provisions and of this decision. This decision is most gratifying, and, taken in connection with the decisions declaring "grandfather" provisions of Southern Constitutions and residential segregation laws and ordinances unconstitutional, goes far to assure the Negro that his fundamental constitutional rights will be safeguarded by the Supreme Court of the United States. The country at large is more interested at this time, in the effect the decision will have on the seating of Vare and Smith by the Senate than in the aspects of the case as it relates to the Negro's right of suffrage. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to be congratulated on the outcome of the Texas case. companied by Mr. W. M. Spurlock at the piano. The color scheme of pink, white and green was well carried out in the decorations. Plata service consisted of cake, cream, salted almonds and mints. At a given hour, the candles were blown out by Miss Jordan and each guest on departing was served with a slice of cake daintily wrapped. A real enjoyable evening was spent. Those present were Helen E. Hughes, Leslie Derrick, Blanche Taylor, Robert Daniels, Corinne Carrington, Pukers Black, Mr. Marklan, Louise Jackson, William Spurlock, Lillie Rivers, Henry McGuinn, Marian Cephas, Dr. Bassett, Rawley Long, Geraldine Bolling, Paul Morton, Addison Cephas and Chester Washington. Local Items of Interest Miss Helen Heartwell, a student of the conservatory of music of Howard University, is in the city to spend the week-end. While here, she is the guest of Dr. Zenobia Gilpin. The Upsilon Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority entertained a few ladies of the city at a tea Sunday evening, March 6, at the residence of Mrs. Kate Colson of N. Fifth street. The guests were Mesdames William Hughes, W. A. Jordan, J. P. Barrest, Rosa K. K. Jones, Bernice Sampson, Lelia Bankett, J. Simpson, and Mrs. Rosa Walton. Mrs. Marie Lumor, of New York City, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Grace Swann of W. Leigh street. She will also visit her mother, Mrs. C. B. Washington, of MUSICAL ART SUFFERS HERE FROM LACK OF PUBLIC SUPPORT Antoinette Garnes, Charles Cecil Cohen, Roy Wilfred Tibbs, Wesley I. Howard, Trouveres Trio, Lillian Evantl, Marion Anderson, Washington Federation of Church Choirs, Community Center Religious Pageant, Ethel Hardy Smith, are among the several attractions Washington has offered its citizens; Garnes and Cohen are coming this month, and the Tibbs' concert is cancelled for good reasons. Not one of the others can reasonably lay claim to an overwhelming success so far, and several were lamentable failures to the utter shame of musical Washington. Evanti, Anderson, Smith and Howard are good enough to thoroughly entertain any kind of cosmopolitan audience here or elsewhere, and Cohens and Garnes who are yet to appear are of the same calibre of artists. We are not boosting any particular individual but we are advocating a return to the love of academic art—pure and simple. However there is, on the part of the majority fostering such enterprises a keen desire to commercialize this character entertainment to a nauseating extent which is more to be regretted on the part of those who place art above commercialism and in a sense it is absolute vandalism. Nowadays, art is not a prime consideration among us. It is a matter of monetary gain instead—the commercializing of art and artist; a kind of bartizing or exchange between musical art and a mess of pottage. In order to get a capacity hearing to a program we must have in view a building fund, a money rally, a plan to develop such and such a thing, replenish a lodge treasury, or build another Noah's Ark somewhere. Then we must get out hot or cold, night or day and collar every passerby, ring every door bell, seek every meeting-house in order to dispose of a bundle of admittance cards at such and such a price. We are bartering the artist in question, that's all, matters not by what name we call it. We are lowering the standard of unadulterated art for monetary gain and that's the way we get our crowds when we do get them. There is another thing about it that snacks of short-sighted vision that is, we must have a thousand so-called personal friends to get a respectable hearing for an artist. This personal friendship plan has just about worked itself almost to death but it may have been successful in the past and perhaps is now. A party stated just the other day that one must get out and hustle among one's friends to sell tickets successfully for affairs—and that is true. We decry this condition of affairs in a community where a high degree of intelligence exists. Imagine Antoinette Garnes singing here merely because "The College Alumnae Club" plans to raise a stipulated sum of money, or imagine a concert pianist out selling tickets to his own recital in order to get a respectable hearing as is being done just now in the case of Charles C. Cohen. Take the case of Ethel Hardy Smith at John Wesley Church recently, who hardly had a corporal's guard there to hear her after extensive public notice. And similar cases are those of Wesley Howard and the Trouverses of Philadelphia. Isn't art in itself sufficient to compel a respectable hearing among intelligent Washingtonians without scrimmaging to make money? Isn't our environment of sufficient equal distinction and equilibrium to counter this efficacious condition hereabout? Charles Cecil Cohen and Antoinette Garnes both deserve a capacity hearing on the merits of the fact that they are outstanding artists. Ethel Hardy Smith and others deserved better than they received at our hands recently. Art is what we should worship and not personality and commercialism as is wont to be the case. Shores, Va., who is very ill. Mr. Oscar Neville, husband of Mrs. Mary Neville, cashier at Sampson's Tonsorial and Beauty Parlor, died suddenly at his residence, 722 N. Fourth street. He was a member of William Lodge of Elks of this city. The funeral services were held at the Leigh Street M. E. Church. Rev. Williams, the pastor, officiated. He is survived by a wife. In the issue of February 25, it was stated that Mr. T. D. Underhill was guest of Mr. C. K. Kelly of St. Luke Herald. His name, however, is T. D. Hill, who is national industrial secretary of the Urban League, and he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harriss of W. Leigh Street. Miss Nina Hill, of Boston, Mass., is attending the Virginia Union University, and was one of the guests at the Thebans' annual prom recently. Special services at Leigh Street M. E. Church, Sunday, March 13, will be held, at which time Dr. W. S. Jackson, superintendent of the Richmond District of M. E. Church will speak. This will be his last sermon before retiring from the district. At 3:30 p.m., a very interesting program will be rendered. Mrs. Marie White, who is 125 years old will speak. The principal address will be delivered by the pastor, Rev. R. M. Williams. His subject will be "Knocking the Bottom out of the Black Bottom." Hardy Brothers' orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. At 8 p.m., the junior choir, with a cast of seventy-five characters will render a program. They will feature "The Hope of the World." This will be under the direction of M. Nannie B. Jackson. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1927 Just now it seems that the five hundred, bridge, whist and dancing clubs, the movies and other milder forms of amusement are sweeping over Washington like a mighty wave that has a tendency to hinder musical enterprises of, whatever nature, and even so, this vast group of amusement seekers should not for once be the opening wedge to the destruction of our artistic tendencies. We must develop the aesthetic motive in our lives or else as a race group we are doomed to still greater derogation. Howard Plays in Cincinnati Wesley I. Howard, violinist, gave a violin recital February 22 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Miss Virginia Williams is ill and is confined to her room at present. She is one of the best known and among the most popular musicians in the city. PROTESTS ANTI-MARRIAGE BILL IN MASS. BOSTON, Mar. 10—The declaration of a white labor leader than no biological, psychological or sociological facts had been produced to prove that Afro-American were inferior or that the offspring of marriages with them were inferior and that the speeches of protests by the Afro-American protestants before the Joint Committee in Legal affairs of the State legislature just heard proved equality with white, closed a remarkable remonstrance on Wednesday against the Ku-Klux anti-marriage bill, carried on under perfect race unity. Among the speakers against the bill were Attorney Butler R. Wilson, president of the Boston N. A. A. C. P., who acted as chairman; Attorney A. G. Wolff; Rev. B. W. Swain; William Monroe Trotter, attorney G. G. Morgan; Mrs. Emma Gray, Mrs. Minnie Wright, Attv. Matthew Bullock, and Rev. W. D. McClane.

A month ago you observed Negro History Week, a movement started by a Washington man, Mr Carter G. Woodson, under the auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Every school and many churches had programs in keeping with this idea. The papers carried stories of particular interest concerning many of the accomplishments of Negroes. Your editor feels certain that Negro History Week was one worth while. He wants to know whether the Tribunites observed paragraph two of the Tribunite's Pledge. If so, write a story to the Kiddies' Corner and tell what was it that you learned during that week that interested you most. VIRGINIA'S SCARE Virginia Moore was visiting her cousin, Jimmy Moore, at his ranch. Virginia was fifteen years old and very tall for her age. Her dark, curly hair made a background for her pretty face. The southern part of Jim's property was mostly wooded lands that Virginia had planned to explore. After Jim had cautioned her that she should not go outside the "border-line," because of the many tramps' prowling around there, and that the "border-line" would be marked off by white piles of stones, Virginia set out. After riding about two miles she came to the "border-line." "Oh, dear!" she complained, "this trip seems awfully short . . . guess I'll ride on for a ways." So she rode on. Suddenly she heard the rustling of leaves near by and a poorly dressed man grasped her horse's bit. "What'er ye doin', snoopin' around, here?" he commanded He looked at her and sneered. She shuddered. "Wat'er you doin' on my prop'ty?" "Let go of that bridle or Till'—" "Wait a minit now, you ain't gonna skip like that—I feel like talkin', and if I do tell any secrets it won't matter nohow—you won't get the chance to repeat 'em.' Her feet froze immediately. "You know who I am? No? Wall, I'm de guy dat sat slipped outa the bank wid dat precious roll." She looked at him coolly. She had never heard of such a robbery as the one mentioned. "Who are you?" She was surprised at the calmness of her tone. "Im Jimmy Moore," said the man, taking off an extra nose and a few mushtaches, thus revealing her laughing cousin. THE BAILEY TWINS It was a week after the annual gathering for the celebration of Halloween. Mrs. Bailey breathed a sigh of relief, for the twins were out of mischief for a while. Though one couldn't tell what those children would do. The big estate was just beginning to contented again. For the Bailey twins were never satisfied unless something with mischief attached to it was going on. On Halloween night they had had their fun and were more contented, but they did not yet cease their continuous pranks or jokes on one another. But now both Betty and Donald were wishing, as most children do, that the party were but just beginning. How they loved to dress up and scare people! Betty, waiting for the clock to strike twelve in the lower hall, had decided to scare up some fun. One minute after twelve a tall, ghostly white thing floated from the doorway of Betty's room. While farther down the hall a small black bear crept from the thing by Donald's door? Betty, trying her best to keep on the stilts, giggled softly behind the white sheet. Wouldn't she frighten Donald! But, what is that little black thing by Donald's room? Closer and closer crept the bear, till it was five feet from Betty. Donald, too, had the desire for more fun and had also dressed up. He knew that the tall white form was Betty and was not frightened; as he recognized her little giggle. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were aroused and bustled into the hall. "What in the world are you two youngsters up to?" inquired Mrs. Bailey. "Did you think it was Halloween again?" "I—I—I—I was trying to scare Donald, but he—he scared me instead," explained the stuttering Betty. Mr. Bailey laughed almost unnouriously, while Mrs. Bailey smiling tucked the two in bed again. THE BOY SCOUTS' SUCCESS Shutting the door Adolph faced the boys. Walking quickly over to Lubuar he whispered something in a foreign language to him. The troop of boys were lined against the wall and against the door through which Adolph had entered. Adolph then said aloud in English, "I guess you kids are wondering how I got in here without having that pig-eyed butler following after me. Yes?" Laughing lightly, he continued, "Why I simply told him that you," pointing to Bob, "had said that I was to be shown right in to you," and with a bow to Lubuar who still had his revolver pointed at the boys, he added, "since my friend here has done his duty, we will now make our exit." As he finished talking he strode over to the window, which was the full length from floor to ceiling, and opened it. Walking out on the balcony and peering over, he beckoned for Lubuar to follow. Lubuar backed to the window and handed the gun to Adolph, then Lubuar slid over the balcony railing and descended by way of the flower trellis. He whistled when he reached the ground, and Adolph backed to the railing and cried out to the scouts, "Beware of us from now on!" With this he dropped to the ground and the two men disappeared. With Bob leading, the boys rushed to the window and out on the balcony. Alex and Ned dropped to the ground and went in opposite directions. Bob and the others returned to the room in which the recent exciting incident had taken place. "Boys;" he said, "keep this affair to yourselves. I do not want mother and dad to know what has happened." The boys agreed. Bill Farson spoke up, "Why, darn it, who would ever think that those two toughs would have nerve enough to come up here, and then vanish like smoke in the night?" As he said this, Alex and Bob entered. Alex sat down heavily in a chair. Turning to the bewildered boys, he said, "I ran up and down, and all around, but haven't seen those two guys anywheres." Bob interrupted, "I looked around too, but as I was climbing up the trellis to get back here, I found this piece of paper sticking in the trellis." He held up a piece of paper and handed it to Bob. Bob glanced at the paper, and then placed it on the table. The boys gathered around him. This is what they saw on the paper: NERRAW SI NI KCAHS OWT SELIM N FO ELLI VSNOIRAM NI GIB RATS PAG "Now, what is that all about?" asked Bill.

THE MEASURE OF A MAN BY R. A. Adams Whate'er may be your creed, Your lineage, or breed, If in your heart you're right, Your circumstance despite, You are a man! If you may wealthy be, Or live in poverty, (It little matters which) If in good deeds you're rich, You are a man! Although of humble name, And stranger unto fame, If you have done your best, In every given test. You are a man! Though outcast and alone, Your pillow but a stone, In all that you may do. If still your life rings true, You are a man! If you are crucified, And for the right have died, When you at last are dead, Best is that can be said, "He was a man!" —Preston News Service Join the Tribune Postal Card Club The Tribune Postal Card Club can be joined by any child who is interested in Race advancement.
