CLARENCE DARROW TALKS BEFORE TWO OVERFLOW CROWDS IN ONE NIGHT FIRST in Advertising and Circulation ARD CLARENCE DA BEFORE TWO CROWDS By Louis R. Lautier Notwithstanding the trials and tribulations under which the Negro in America is laboring, his future is promising, Clarence S. Darrow, noted criminal lawyer and champion of human liberty, declared in an address under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Monday night: "It is not possible," he said, "that a caste system can forever exist in the United States. It is not possible that through force and fraud and violation of law colored people can ever be submerged in a country dedicated to freedom." The church was crowded to capacity. Not even standing room was available an hour before the meeting began. Several thousands clamored in vain to gain admission. Finally those on the outside were told to go to the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church and Mr. Darrow would address them afterwards. Overflow Attendance The John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church was filled to capacity, in a short time. Charles Edward Russell, socialist, who accompanied Mr. Darrow to the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A. M. E. Zion Church, went to John Wesley and addressed the crowd while they were waiting for Mr. Darrow. Major O. J. W. Scott and Dean William Pickens also spoke. President Mordecai W. Johnson was given an ovation when he entered John Wesley Church. The meeting opened the 1927 membership drive for the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The appeal for memberships was made by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls. The crowd responded liberally. Captain William L. Davis, who was one of the defendants in the Sweet murder trial in Detroit, Mich., was introduced by Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He and Mr. Darrow, who represented the defendants in that case, were loudly applauded as they greeted each other. At the close of Mr. Darrow's address, Mrs. A. M. Curtis presented him with a bouquet for Mrs. Darrow, who was unable to be present on account of illness. John R. Hawkins presented him with a $200 gold purse. The Dunbar High School quintet under the direction of Miss Mary Europe sang "Deep River." Mr. Thomas introduced Mr. Darrow who spoke in part as follows: "I cannot help being pleased at this fine reception you have given me tonight. I do not know how much I deserve it. The truth is, I was born that way, and I think that is the way it is with everybody else. They are either born that way or they are not. Generally, they are not. I was born of an abolitionist family up in northeastern Ohio, and I never got over it, and I never tried to get over it. "I have always felt what a great burden it has been in this country for a man or a woman to have a black face. I have always understood and imagined the injustice of it. I have tried to find out as best as I could the reason why. Color you know is a matter of taste. Some people like white clothes; some people like black clothes; some like red ones, and some like blues ones. Nobody can tell which looks best. Purely a matter of taste. Nobody knows whether a black face is any less attractive than a white one. I say white, you know, although there is no such color. We noble Nordics are a sort of ashen-gray hue. "Some people like dark looking (Continued on page 2) THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY DELLA DARROW TALKS TWO OVERFLOW S IN ONE NIGHT CLARENCE DARROW NOT THREATENED IN ALARAMA Clarence Darrow, who delivered an address before two overflow audiences here Monday nigh, in an interview with several newspaper men, said, referring to the press reports from Alabama that he had been attacked there: "There was nothing true in the stories. The press dispatches were purely fictitious." It was reported in several publications that Mr. Darrow, after making a speech before a Negro audience telling them to demand their rights, was attacked by members of the Ku Klux Klan and had to leave. DARROW SCORED BY REV. BROOKS DARROW SCORED BY REV. BROOKS "MR. DARROW AND GOD" Rev. Walter H. Brooks, venerable pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, who sat on the platform last Monday night when Clarence Darrow spoke, made the following comment after reflecting upon what Mr. Darrow said in the course of his remarks: Mr. Darrow and God "Mr. Darrow, a champion of the cause of the injured and outraged members of society will always Rev. WALTER H. BROOKS exert great influence in the community. Mr. Darrow, who saved the lives of Dr. Sweet, and ten other persons, who defended themselves against a mob, which assaulted Dr. Sweet, when he was in his own home, drew thousands of Washingtonians to the A.M.E. Metropolitan Church, last night (Monday) to hear him. Other thousands failed to hear him because it was not possible to gain entrance to the church. "Mr. Darrow said many things which I moss heartily endorsed, and we are grateful to him for the service he rendered the race in his great and successfull legal battle in the interest of Dr. Sweet. But I take exception to his ridicule of all things religious. Think of a man standing in the house of God making mock of the the idea of God! Think of this great man in the presence of a multitude of praying people, and in the pulpit of a house dedicated to prayer, scoffring at the notion of prayer, as a thing of folly! Think of this man laughing to scorn people who believe in heaven, with blessings there for the multitudes who suffer in this evil world! For the teachings of the Bible this man had no words of praise—nothing but contempt. to such are a looking). "To have heard him once will suffice for a life time. I know in whom I believe, and I have the evidence that satisfies me, that 'God is, and He is a rewarder of him that diligently seek Him." Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. APA SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER WANTS SEGREGATION The legal battle to prevent colored persons from owing and occupying residences in the Bloomingdale section was intensified last week when a suit was filed in the District Supreme Court to compel Henry A. Cornish and Alyce N. Cornish, who have purchased No. 2328 First street, northwest, to vacate the premises and abide by a restrictive convenant in the deed to this property. The plaintiffs in this case are Patrick O'Donoghue, 2300 First street, Hugh A. and Clara E. Morrison, 2302 First street, Henry and Bessie H. Gilligan, 2304 First street, Samuel R. and Charity E. Harris, 2306 First street, Lewis E. and Lucy L. Thompson, 2309 First street, G. Gertrude Ruff, 2310 First street, and Andrew C. and Gracie May Plant, 2326 First street, northwest. Mr. Filligan is a member of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia and president of the Northeast Capital Citizens Association, which is fostering litigation to enforce a restrict covenant. Justice Stafford Justice Wendell P. Stafford issued a rule for the defendants Henry A. Cornish and Alyce N. Cornish to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue to compel them to conform TEACHERS TO MAKE TOUR OF EUROPE TEACHERS TO MAKE TOUR OF EUROPE HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va. March 17—An educational trip to Europe for teachers and others similarly qualified has been arranged for the coming summer under the auspices of the extension department of Hampton Institute, it was recently announced by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of the school. The tour, planned especially to give teachers the opportunity to broaden their education by foreign travel with the added advantage of summer school work in history with college credit given through the Hampton Institute Summer School, will, according to Dr. Gregg, sail from New York on May 26, via Hamburg American Line. Instructor Selected A. Ogden Porter, instructor in history in the college and in charge of preliminary arrangements and personnel, will be director of the tour and will give the course in Modern European History correlated with the itinerary of the party. Dr. Thomas W. Turner, will act as assistant director, Mrs. Turner accompanying the party as counsellor of women. Although the trip is primarily for teachers, Mr. Porter says others similarly qualified will be admitted. Those who do not wish the academic credit will be privileged to take the lectures and attend the class meetings, but will not be required to do the formal work of the course. The size of the party will be limited. The party will sail from New York on May 26, arriving in Cherbourg, June 4, and proceeding to Caen. After four days in Caen, with trips to Bayeux and Trouville, a three-day stop will be made in Rouen. To Visit Paris On June 12, the party will proceed to Paris where, for twelve days, that city and vicinity will be headquarters. Motor trips to Versailles and the battlefields are included in the plans for these days. Then Holland on June 24, will claim their attention and after two days in Amsterdam, with a side trip to the Island of Marken, the capitol of Belgium will be visited. After the three days in Brussels, with a trip to the battlefield of Waterloo, the party will sail on July 1 from Boulonne, arriving in New York on July 8. --- PARKS IS SUSPENDED (Continued on page 6) --- Instructor Selected To Visit Paris WASHINGTON, D.

FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1927 SHRINERS WIN FIRST SKIRMISH HERE The colored Shriners, Monday won in the United States Supreme Court their plea for a review of an injunction granted by a Texas court to the white Shriner organization restraining the colored organization from using its name and insignia. More than $900,000 in property owned by the colored Shriners, "The Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America and its jurisdiction." would be confiscated under the injunction, the appeal argued. The Supreme Court granted a petition for review of a Texas Federal court decision enjoining the colored Shriners. DUDLEY IS HOST TO MILLER AND LYLES PARTY DUDLEY IS HOST TO MILLER AND LYLES PARTY S. H. Dudley, theatre magnate and popular sportsman, was host to Miller and Lyles and a number of chorus girls who were playing in "The Great Temptation" at the Port Theatre last week, in his home, 1219 Sixth street, northwest, last Thursday morning. Rumors that it had been a rough affair because of the attendance of both white and colored guests were S. H. DUDLEY denied by Mr. Dudley. In a statement to the Tribune, he said: "I had the pleasure of entertaining Miller and Lyles and a few of the ladies and gentlemen of their company on March 10, at my home while they were playing the Poli Theatre. Outsider Intrudes "We were having a delightful time when a ruffian dropped in just about 3 a.m. He saw the cars waiting to take the girls back to their hotels.

SEC'Y INTERIOR MAKES 3-DAY HOSPITAL VISIT SEC'Y INTERIOR MAKES 3-DAY HOSPITAL VISIT Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work spent practically all of last Saturday, Sunday and Monday visiting and inspecting Freedmen's Hospital. This visit, it is believed, is in connection with the investigation ordered by him in the interest of bringing the Nurses' Training School up to higher standards. The investigation ordered by the Secretary of the Interior is an outgrowth of the petition filed by the nurses at Freedmen's. One copy of the petition was sent to Secretary Work and one to Dr. Warfield. In the petition, twenty-four charges were filed by the nurses. Among the most serious charges were: That the school lacks proper supervision; that the student ratings have been changed by the superintendent; that recreational rooms and study periods are not provided; that the mail and telegrams of the nurses are tampered with; and that freshman nurses are forced to buy uniforms, although the Government has been furnishing them. The investigating committee of superintendent nurses who have been appointed to investigate conditions at Freedmen's, has made one visit to the hospital and talked with Dr. Warfield and Miss Irwin.

WILLIAMS, GAINES' SLAYER HELD FOR JURY OFFENSE AGAINST GOOD ORDER ALLEGED; APPOINTMENT OF HINES TERMINATED: SHOPLIFTING CASE DROPPED Robert Wilson Williams, 43, an employee of the United States Supreme Court, 1305 R street, northwest, was odered held by a coroner's jury last Saturday for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Major Gaines, 38, 935 O street, northwest. During an altercation early last Friday morning at 1450 P street, northwest, Gaines was shot in the stomach with a .25 caliber pistol by Williams. He was removed to the Emergency Hospital where he died in the emergency room. Geo. Jefferson, 28, 1450 P street, northwest, was shot in the left leg by Williams also. He was treated at Emergency Hospital. His condition is not serious. Williams was arrested a few minutes after the shooting while driving his automobile in Church street. He was taken to police headquarters where he made a statement after he had sobered up. He was drunk at the time of his arrest. According to the witnesses, who appeared at the inquest, Williams joined a stud poker game at 1450 P street, about 8 o'clock in the evening. Major Gaines, George Jefferson, William H. Walker, 1308 Riggs street, northwest, James Lacey, 1840 Biltmore street, northwest, and Rutledge Wheeler, 1450 P street, northwest, were playing. The men sent out and bought a pint of liquor. During the game Bob Williams got broke. After being staked several times, he asked Wheeler to give him a bet. Wheeler refused. Saying that he was going to get his son, Bob Williams left. A few minutes later he returned with his son, Arnold Wilson Williams. Bob pointed out Wheeler and told Arnold, "he is the man I want you to beat." Bob Williams drew a gun. Walker told him to put it up because nobody was afraid of it. The elder Williams went into the bathroom and fired one shot, testing the gun. He returned from the bathroom to where the men had been gambling. He was rebuked for having fired the shot in the bathroom. He drew his pistol again. Gaines told him if he fired his gun again, he would take it away from him. Williams replied, "You can't do that." A scuffle among Williams, Gaines and Jefferson followed. Gaines was fatally shot in the stomach. Jefferson was wounded in the leg. At the inquest Bob Williams was represented by Attorneys James A. O'Shea and Thomas Beckett. Bob Williams' son, Arnold, was released by the police following the verdict of the coroner's jury. SEEKS TO ANNUL MARRIAGE Through Attorneys Hayes and Davis, Mrs. Eunice Wheeler Smith has filed a petition in the District Supreme Court for an annulment of her marriage to Theodore R. Smith, 484 L street, southwest. In her bill of complaint she alleges that at the time of their marriage her husband was incapacitated by reason of a disease from which he was suffering. He has infected her, she alleges. The couple was married December 15, 1926, by the Rev. Aquila Sayles. They lived together for a period of one week when she learned of the condition of her husband, she says. Mrs. Smith also charges cruelty and non-support. --- SPEN INST GOOD OR NT OF HINES T TING CASE DECISION IN LA. SEGREGATION CASE REVERSED By Louis R. Lautier The United States Supreme Court on Monday last reversed a decision of the Supreme Court of Louisiana and declared unconstitutional an ordinance passed by the city of New Orleans prohibiting a colored person from occupying a house in a block in which the majority of residents are white without first obtaining their written consent. No opinion accompanied the decision, indicating an unanimous agreement. The case came before the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error from the Louisiana Supreme Court, which reaffirmed a previous decision that the New Orleans segregation ordinance did not violate the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution. This case was decided on authority of the Louisville segregation case, in which the court held: "A city ordinance forbidding colored persons from occupying houses as residences or places of abode or public assembly, on blocks where the majority of the houses are occupied by white persons for those purposes, and in like manner prohibiting white persons when the conditions as to occupancy are reversed, and which bases the interdiction upon color and nothing more, passes the legitimate bound of police power and invades the civil right to acquire, enjoy and use property, which is guaranteed (Continued on page 7) PORTERS UNION NAMES LIST OF ADVISERS PORTERS UNION NAMES LIST OF ADVISERS NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar. 17.—The Brotherhood of Slaeping Car Porters have announced the formation of a New York committee of 100 prominent white and colored citizens to give support to the cause of the Pullman porters and maids; and to give them counsel and standing in public opinion and before the United States Board of Mediation.

Parks, of 1935 Fifteenth street, northwest, a teacher in the Mott school, was suspended without pay because of an alleged offense against good order. This action was taken immediately following a meeting of the Board of Education at Franklin School last Wednesday afternoon. It is charged that Miss Parks threw acid into the face of Arthur James, 1632 Fifteenth street, northwest. The board approved a recommendation of the personnel committee that the case involving a charge of shoplifting against a teacher be closed. Mrs. Lillian Y. Herron, chairman of the committee, reported that the charge had been investigated and the committee was satisfied that no further action is necessary. Numerous Complaints "There have been numerous complaints referred to the committee for investigation." Charles F. Carusi, president of the board, stated. "In any case they are receiving the most careful investigation. If any persons are guilty of conduct, which makes it improper for them to continue in the public school system, they will be eliminated from the system, but we have to act upon evidence and it is sometimes difficult for us to secure evidence that justifies us in taking action and from time to time we have to continue these matters, but they are still in process of investigation. Some offenses charged have been quite serious and they will receive careful investigation before they are finally disposed of." The personnel committee made no report on a charge of "vicious conduct" preferred against a teacher which was referred to Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools. It is still being investigated. The board approved a recommendation that the probationary appointment of G. W. Hines as head of the department of business practice of divisions 10 to 13 be terminated effective March 21. Superintendent Frank W. Ballou reported that H. B. Wallace, a teacher in the Armstrong Technical High School, had been officially reprimanded by First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson for conduct unbecoming a teacher and given very definite information that similar conduct must not recur.

Some men like blondes and others brunettes, although if a man says he prefers blondes, it may only mean he is married to a brunette. Any way color is a question of taste, and I do not imagine that even unintelligent white people are so devoid of taste that they object to Negroes because they are colored, for some of them are not. The fact that there are so many Negroes who are not colored shows how frequently colored girls have raped white men; could not possibly show anything else. Negro Liked in His Place "Why it is it then that the Negroes have had all this burden placed upon them? Why have they been compelled to work without compensation? Why has preference everywhere been given to the whites? Is it because the white people naturally and instinctively hate them? They only insist that the colored man shall keep his place. That is all. That is not much, is it? "It is a little hard to discuss scientifically and philosophically where the Negro's place is, but I know some things about it. When he goes into a house he should go in by the back door. He should be spoken to as George or Sally. He or she has no other name excepting that. In no event must he be called Mr. or she be called Mrs.—just George or Sally. He cannot or she cannot sit down in the presence of a white person unless she is caring for a white baby and then it is different. In spite of the Constitution he can not attend a dinner in a good hotel unless he is a waiter. "Some of these distinctions are very fine, but they are there. He must always recognize the superiority of the whites, and he must submit to bitter humiliation or he might forget the superiority of the whites. He is never allowed to forget it at any time in the presence of the whites. Why is it? On account of color? No." Color Not Real Objection "White people do not object to color even in human beings. I have been in parlors where East Indians were present and I could not get anywhere near them on account of classy white women surrounding them. Nobody objects to color if it is an East Indian. They do not object to it if it is a Chinaman or an Indian. An Indian is a noble red man, but a Negro is never a noble black man. "It is not color. What is it? It is habit. We are a people of habit. We never learn anything. We take what is handed to us. It bothers people to think. Most people are afraid it will split their heads open. We have formed certain habits and attitudes as to the colored people, and the main one is that the Negro is a slave "Colored people have been despised and persecuted and have suffered all sorts of injustices because in America they have on them the badge of slavery. Sixty-five years ago they were legally held as slaves, and, therefore, now they should be illegally held as slaves. People who think of the colored people think of them as slaves. "It is not color. It is the past servitude which is very recent, and yet the colored people have no monopoly on slavery. My ancestors were slaves. White people have been bought and sold in the market just the same as your ancestors were. The only difference is that it was longer ago. That is all that makes all the difference in the world—the age of it. It is like aristocracy. No man can ever be an aristocrat if he ever worked. No man can be much of an aristocrat if his father ever worked, and not a complete one if his grandfather ever worked. An aristocrat must be five or six generations removed from work. And so a people must be at least five or six generations removed from slavery before the stigma gets off. White People Once Slaves "It has not been more than two hundred years since white people were slaves in Europe, many of them. It has only been sixty years since colored people could be bought and sold, but that makes the difference. "It is not because the colored people are poor, because some of you are doing pretty well. You are getting paid for your work, some of you. It is not because they are ignorant because there are a great many intelligent colored people as intelligence goes. The white people have no monopoly on intelligence. If they have they do not show it. And the less intelligent they are the more they despise the colored people. "All of this has been visited upon the colored people because they have recently been slaves. The white people got used to looking at you as slaves and cannot look at you in any other way. We ought to owe something to the colored people, something besides money. "I was born in this country. I do not think it is perfect. I am not a 100 per cent American. Not over 99 per cent anyhow. I think there are a great many bad things about this country, and some good ones. There is much room for criticism of this country or any other. I was born here and on the other hand would rather live here than anywhere else. "In the first place I cannot speak any other language except the United States. Even English is not easy for me. And that makes it inconvenient for me to go somewhere else except for a brief time. "In the next place I was born so long ago and have been here so long I have got used to it and have been able to make a living out of it, and what could I do anywhere else? Then people here are just like people anywhere else. All people are about alike. I mean all white people. Whites Headed Toward Slavery "I was born here of free parents; that is, they were fairly free—freer than I am. Your people, I hope, are headed toward liberty. We are headed toward slavery by means of foolish laws and constitutional provisions and fanatics. "But there are some people who prefer America. They came here and got naturalized. Your people did not. They were captured in Africa, taken from their homes and their families like wild beasts and put on board horrible ships, crowded, where half of them perished from disease coming across waters; where others who had a chance jumped into the sea choosing death rather than the great fear of the unknown that they were reaching; And when they got here they were made slaves for 300 years, bought and sold like any other chattels, received no wages, whipped and scourged and never permitted to forget their color or the place where they belonged. Finally liberated, so far as laws liberate people, which is not far, because when a man gets real freedom he gets it from the toleration and consideration of his fellow-man. Until we get it that way we never will get it, and you never had it that way. I hope some time you will have it that way. "This briefly has been the history of the colored people in America. We owe the most to them because we brought them here against their will and took their labor for 300 years and are taking it now for less than we pay for the same amount of labor of the whites. If there ever was such a thing as obligation recognized by white people we would begin to pay a deep and last obligation to every man and woman who has a black face, but we know no such thing as obligation. Superior people can have no obligation to inferior people. Only the inferior have obligations to the superior That is Anglo-Saxon logic. "Now this has been the situation in this country for all these years. If you should go to Europe you will find it different. Colored men and women (can travel anywhere in Europe where I have ever been with perfect equality, without being reminded every time they turn around of their color. Why is it? Because they have had no African slavery in Europe. The badge is not upon them in Europe. Negro Gets Front Seat in War "Nowhere in America is a colored person treated on terms of equality. There is only one place I know of where they ever give him a front seat, and that is in the war. There you can get just as near the front as you want. Nowhere else." "You have fought in wars for America. You have fought to make the world safe for democracy, and have been told before it started it would be a new world and you would be treated differently from what you had ever been treated before. When you came back you were putting on airs. After you went over the battlefields of Europe, you were putting on airs because you wanted to walk on the sidewalks. "I do not know that I need talk to you about what you have suffered. You know it better than I do. I know you have never had an equal show anywhere in the United States excepting in war. I know you never have had a fair show in the courts. I know that colored men in every state in the Union are convicted where white men under the same circumstances would no free "I have defended a good many of your people in the courts and Stage Favorite Praises Exelento Alltter Harris says Exelento is great!

A. a great many times when there never was any evidence against you except the color of your face. I know the penitentiaries and jails of this country have four or five times as many colored people as they should have in proportion to their numbers. "I was not born to believe that a colored person was equal to the white, but I was born where they believed he was better than the whites. There weren't any Negroes where I was born. As the Negroes began coming there and more and more southern whites came to that country, they changed their minds in many ways. "Of course, I know a colored man is not any better than a white, but in those days we did not know any colored men. We did not know how they could help being better, but they can. They were covered with the romance and the tragedy and the pathos of slavery, which to us in that country was an idealism that we always went out to because they were colored. "Of course, the North has gotten over that. Colored people have come to the North and the big cities in considerable numbers. They have taken other peoples' jobs, if anybody could ever be said to have a job. The employers have been willing to take them to work in the shops, but have not been willing to give them any place to sleep at night. They would hire them in the shop, but when it came to buying homes—that was different, and gradually more or less prejudice has grown up in the North, and this has been industrially seconded by the Ku Klux Klan, by the white people who come there from the South and bring the spirit of aristocracy which is present in all inferior people, and most of them are inferior. "So there is no such glamour hanging over the colored person in the North as there once was, and today you have got to work for your rights North as well as South. There is no question about that. "You have been lynched in court and out in every state in the Union; sometimes in court. Grinding a man through court does not mean he has had a trial under the law. He cannot have it unless he has the same kind of fair protection every other man has. The colored man has never had it anywhere in the United States. But you have been lynched out of court. "I am not charging all this on the South. We have had it in the North. Colored people have been burned. All that was needed was a suspicion and an outcry and the mob would do the rest. "A Federal law against lynching RHEUMATISM PAIN QUICKLY RELIEVED WITH RED CROSS KIDNEY PLASTER Relief from the sharp, knife-like pains, the dull, never-ending aches of Rheumatism—that is what sufferers want. And you can have it. Simply apply a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster right over the seat of pain. You will be astounded and delighted with the quick comfort it brings almost instantly. No matter what treatments you may be taking in search of relief from Rheumatic troubles, don't fail to put on this old reliable Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms and soothes the affected parts, stops the pains and aches, subdues inflammation and drives out soreness in the swollen, painful flesh and joints. It gently massages the flesh with every movement of the body, and its medication is continually being absorbed through the skin into the tissues. You can cut the plaster into shapes and sizes to fit exactly the affected parts. Don't endure the agonies of Rheumatism another day. You can get prompt, genuine relief at the nearest drug store if you ask for the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. —ad would not do much good. What you have got to reach is the hearts of the people, and most of them haven't any. It is a question of how you are treated by your fellowman. The law can only go a little way in this matter. "Briefly that is what the colored people have gone through in America, and there are some fifteen million of them. The brood is not running out either. They are here and are here to stay. They are not going to Liberia. The white people don't want them to go. If the colored people should try to leave in any general exodus in any southern state, they would probably be met by force to keep them where they are. Somebody has got to work. We Nordics are not going to do it. came from one place or came from different places at different times nobody knows. "Is there anything to be hopeful about? I do not like optimists. They are so silly. You have got to take something to be an optimist. I once in a while get optimistic. You have got to take some kind of dope; eat it, drink it; or maybe religious dope. But is there anything hopeful in this hard question of color? I think there is. I do not mean to overdo it. "After all, the processes that went to make you are the same that went to make all of us. The hardships were the same, and the evolution is the same, only you are a little later getting a start. If you had been captured earlier "Is there any way out of it for the colored people? There is no rapid way out of it. There are some things that can be done and most things must take a long while for their accomplishment. Negro Getting Education "The first is education. The colored person is getting it. He is getting it in' the South. He is getting it—many people in the South say—faster than the white people. He is getting it because he wants it. As for learning, it is no trouble for a colored person to learn. Unfortunately for colored people they have intelligence. Intelligence is a misfortune to anybody, but especially to a colored person. If you do not know what is going on—a sort of fundamentalist—you are safe. "We have been told that you belong to a different race. Does anybody know what that words means—race? There is no such thing. That came from the idea that the Lord—I do not know so much about the Lord and some people know less—the Lord, you know, made a man-right out of His hand, a completed, finished job, and He had to have a woman and He made one out of Adam's rib. That was a funny use to put a perfectly good rib to. Of course, if that story is true, all these variations of color must have come afterward. "Life no doubt originated with the lower organisms, and the human race has been about the last so far. Of course, it could be improved upon.

"After all, the processes that went to make you are the same that went to make all of us. The hardships were the same, and the evolution is the same, only you are a little later getting a start. If you had been captured earlier, then you would have been that much ahead. It is not so much a misfortune that your ancestors were taken in slavery as it is they were not taken years and years sooner. "Now what can the colored people do? Of course, there is no chance for physical resistance. There are not enough of you. You are too weak, too poor. But you ought to keep the independence of what preachers call your soul, but not knowing anything about the soul I will say, independent feeling. You ought to keep your pride even if you have to take tips now and again. "There are not a great many things in which a colored man has any advantage. He has been abused, slandered and lied about in every way. They say they do not dare trust your men. I notice that they are always on the Pullman cars, which is passing strange to me. They trust their children with them. When I hear anybody say how much he loves the colored people because he had a black mammy, I know he loves them just the same as a fox loves chickens. He loves them in their place. "Everything they say, of course, is foolish. They make a great fuss about colored men and colored women being in a sleeping car, but if attending a white baby or waiting on somebody it is all right. It is all a question of keeping you in your place. "You are getting education and you are getting money.

Be Independent in Politics "I have been a little disappointed with the votes of colored people. I never told them how to vote, but I do think with the little they have to help themselves with they ought to vote to help themselves and they ought to vote practically solid to help themselves. I know what they have done all these years. Of course, I am an independent in politics, but I never vote the Republican ticket; otherwise I am independent. "Now I am not advising anybody to vote the Democratic ticket, but I do think the colored people have missed a great chance in their voting. There are probably a half dozen states in the Union where colored votes could settle a presidential election. Why not settle a municipal election. They can settle it in Chicago, in Detroit, in New York, probably in Cleveland, along the Ohio River, in any number of them.

I am advising you to vote as men. I know why you vote the Republican ticket, because you thought the Republican party gave you your freedom. But you have got it pretty well paid for now. If you have not, you had better vote the Republican ticket once more and take a receipt in full. "Gradually the colored people can vote further and further south, but you have got to divide your votes. Keep them guessing; it is the only commodity you have. Should Shun Politicians "I know you have political leaders and they are getting jobs for themselves. You ought to shun them as you would a pestilence. I remember that in the stockyards in Chicago they had an old steer that had been broken in to lead the cattle to be slaughtered. That is what the politicians do. It is a scurvy trade to make a living out of politics. There is nobody who has the good of your people at heart who would not say you ought to be absolutely independent in politics and make the most out of it.

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 periods of loneliness. 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 how I can gladly reveal it to any married woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be adanced to her. Burton, 244 Massachusetts, Kansas City, Correspondence will be strictly confidential.

"I know because I used to have awfully short hair and the men didn't pay any attention to me at all. Then I started using Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing and the difference amazed me. My hair grew about two inches a month until it was long enough to dress becomingly. It also straightened out like magic.

MOTON SAYS JAPANESE ARE HOSPITABLE In a letter written by Dr. Robert Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, recounting some of his experiences on the world tour which he and his party are making, states that their visit in Japan has been most interesting. Speaking of the royal treatment received in Japan, he says: "Early Wednesday morning, Dr. Dibble and I went to the American embassy. The American ambassador was out at the time, but his secretary, Mr. Salisbury, was most courteous in offering us the service of his office while we were in Japan. We took advantage of this generous offer and secured permits to visit the Imperial palace at Kvota. "Later on in the afternoon, the Ambassador called at our hotel and we had a very delightful visit from him. He knew of the work of Tuskegee Institute, and of its founder, Dr. Washington, and was much impressed when we told him of the progress the school had made during the past three years. "On Thursday, at noon, a dinner was given by the Bankers' Club. The arrangements of this dinner were made by the Institute of Pacific Relations. I was invited to attend and be the speaker for the occasion." In speaking of the schools of Japan, Mr. Moton, stated: "I was much impressed with the large attendance at all the schools that we visited, but compulsory education is both a law and a fact in Japan." The advantages of the trip to the party were pointed out. "Our visit to Tokyo was very fortunate for Dr. Dibble. Early Tuesday morning, he visited the St. Luke's Hospital, of which Dr. R. B. Tisler is the director. All of the nurses in this hospital are Japanese young women except the head nurse, who is an American. Immediately upon arrival at the hospital, Dr. Tisler took Dr. Dibble into his office and gave him an opportunity to study the administrative side of this institution. Each detail of the management of the hospital was shown and explained to him. "Later, he visited the Red Cross Hospital, which is the largest hospital in Japan. Dr. Saito, director of the hospital, is one of the most eminent surgeons in Tokyo. Dr. Dibble had an opportunity that day to attend a clinic and watch Saito operate. He also visited the Imperial University Hospital, to watch Dr. Shaida, chief-surgeon there operate. Dr. Dibble came back from the hospital with many notations in his book which will be used in the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee, and during the clinic visit: Angel."

Can it be two years today Since my husband passed away? Yes, the time has quickly flown Since he left me all alone. How sad this day to me, The day on which you died. Your memory will cling to my heart Till I rest by your side Though silent your voice And vacant your chair, How sweet are the memories That linger there. Never shall your memories fade Around your sweet and peaceful grave. So, while my heart is lonely and sad, I will look to God above. His loving wife, ISABEL MAJORS Funeral services for Mrs. Laura May Pace, a teacher at the Lovejoy School, and wife of Rev. James W.

Personal conferences with each student will be held. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. MARCH 18. 1927 PALO ALTO, Calif., (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—A statewide survey relative to influence of racial color on local restrictions and land values in the state of California has been started by Professor Eliot G. Mears of Stanford University for the Institute of International Relations. The California Real Estate Association is co-operating with Professor Mears in the compilation of the survey. A special questionnaire fully covering essential points has been mailed to every local board in California. From all indications the movement is the outcome of a concerted move upon the part of the realty boards of the United States to capitalize the adverse publicity given the Supreme Court decision of the Washington, D.C. Curtis case, by fostering national realty racial segregation. Suggests Movement In the September, 1926, issue of the Property Owners Magazine of Chicago, Arthur F. McCarty suggests such a movement in stating, "A difficulty in the way of orderly development of American cities is thus removed at one stroke. The intelligent planning that makes a city a place of convenience and happiness instead of a nightmare of the mixture of races may now be applied everywhere. There is no longer any reason whatever for the householder to live in fear of invasions that may take half of the value of his property away in a day." Racial Zone Approved Harry H. Culver, president of the Los Angeles Realty Board, and vice-president of the National Realty Board, officially advocated the racial zoning plan to the State Association last year while officiating as its president. "Land values in many high-class communities in Los Angeles and other cities have been affected by sales being made to families of African or Mongolian races," said Mr. Culver, "restrictions made to prevent sales to those races have not always proved effective." "There seems to be a difference of opinion among realty men as to whether a restriction may be made legally in a zoning law. Of course, there is a legal difference between restrictions incorporated in deeds and those involved in city zones, but we cannot tell how far a city can be in this matter until a test has been made. My idea is that a zoning law of this kind should be passed and tested in the courts, so that we may know exactly what may and may not be done.

Yellow-jackets, amateur champions, on their recent basketball tour of the Shenandoah Valley won three games in as many nights. On Thursday, March 10, the Yellow-jackets played at Lexington Virginia, and defeated the P. P. P. Club of that place. The Chisolmi Club was met the following night on her home court at Staunton Virginia, and on Saturday at Harrisburg, the Community boys were guests of the Arcadians. The hospitality of the valley teams is worthy of comment, and at no time was there a display of anything but the best of sportsmanship and cordiality on the part of the host clubs. In Lexington in Staunton and in Harrisburg, the visitors were royally treated. Following are brief accounts of At Lexington LEXINGTON, Va., Mar. 10—Washington's Community five stopped here tonight to play her first contest of the Shenandoah Valley tour and defeated the local P. P. P. Club, 29-10. The home town club scored first on field baskets by U. Johnson and Jackson. Ellis' field goal followed shortly after and broke the ice for the visitors. The quarter ended, 6-4, the locals ahead. At the half the Yellowjackets were a point up by virtue of a 9-8 score. The second half scoring was mostly Community, the Lexington boys scoring only 2 points. Community (29) P. P. P.

The idea instituted by Westmoreland and Miller is for the purpose of interesting the non-interested in basketball, and without a doubt the undertaking is proving popular. Every Monday and Thursday afternoon in the school gymnasium, two games are played before capacity crowds. More enthusiasm is manifest in these games than in the varsity contests during the entire winter. To date the 1-A Freshman team leads the inter-class league. Standing of Teams Team W. L.

J., Mar. 13.—Reuben Spears, Howard University captain and star, now playing at center for the Baltimore Athenians was injured in an automobile accident here last night when the automobile in which he and his teammates were returning from their game with the Buccancers was in a collision. The car in which Spears was traveling ran into a large truck completely wrecking the passenger vehicle and shaking up its occupants. The former Wendell Phillips star was the only one suffering serious injuries sustaining a fracture of leg and ankle. He is confined to Atlantic City Hospital. ALL-JUNIOR TEAM SELECTIONS ALL-JUNIOR TEAM SELECTIONS By Sam Lacy In this issue the sports department is making its all-star selection by a new method. This mythical team picked from the junior class quints of the city represents, in the opinion of the writer, the cream of Washington's young talent. After lengthy consideration of every worthy junior basketball player, the writer has seen in action, the list of candidates through the elimination process dwindled down to seven. Each performer, as can be seen by the following chart was marked on a point scheme using 10 as the perfect percentage. The players' ability to shoot was marked on a scale of 10 as a perfect percentage. The floor game and his ability as a team player also received the same system of rating by the writer. Pee Wee Covington, for example, is a good shot, his floor game average falls, but his being able to fit into a team gives him his greatest value. Next to Covington is Norman "Jelly" Jackson whose shooting ability and team co-operation though good are both surpassed by his even better floor game. Little O. Jackson, Phelps School captain is not such a dead shot nor—because of his continually holding the ball—is he a valuable team player, but he covers much territory and his floor game gives him a good average. Coates, also a Phelps player is only one-half point behind his captain in the Tribune scoring system. Coates is about the best shot of the lot, but standing in one place so much takes away from his floor game. This also affects his value as a team player. Joe Jackson is a good floor man. He is also a team player of note, but his shooting eye is all but awful. Were it not for his pitiful inability to score, the former Manchester and Shaw lad would be higher in the average. Dicky Shorter is a corner and best of all he is not too conscious about it. He can shoot, but improvement can, and in fact is now taking place in his other qualities. Toots Saunders, were he to mix more and change his "fay" style of play would move up in the writer's opinion of junior players. This lad has a good brain apparently—and the makers.

TECH NINE IN TRAINING The Armstrong baseball team, under the direction of Coach Cato W. Adams, has started training for the approaching campaign. The Armstrong mentor is well pleased with the material he has at hand, and is looking forward to a very successful season. Among the last year men are "Red" Dabney and "Kiki" Hutchinson, outfielders and Lefty Thomas, pitcher. Pitchers Bogan and Lynn, catcher DeBose, infielders Stewart, Davis and Middleton, and outfielders Turner and Washington look best in the lot of recruits. Previous to the Dunbark-Armstrong championship games to be held May 11, and 18, the Orange and Blue nine will play at Bowie, Manassas and Baltimore. NEXT WEEK'S ALL-STAR SELECTION The Tribune's All-Collegiate basketball selections in next issue *City five, March 25. SAMUEL H. LACY. Sports Editor HOWARD'S FRATERNITY SERIES BEGINS SATURDAY Tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the inter-frat games will get under way with a contest between the Omega and Kappa quints. Coach Westmoreland has been working diligently in an effort to round his team into shape that it may even the score with his conquerors of the first of the season. On December 25, it will be remembered, the Red and White team won 22-19 over their rivals in a game that ended after five times being tied. The Four Horsemen were able to finish on top, due mainly to their ability to substitute without greatly weakening their line-up. With the return of Coates and Berry to the Delta cause, the Kappa bunch minus Simpson who is in Baltimore with the Athenians will enter the game as the underdog. This, however, may not have any bearing on the result of the game since every time these two rivals meet a battle royal is the result. HOWARD BASEBALLERS START PRACTICE HOWARD BASEBALLERS START PRACTICE Ten Letter Men Answer Initial Call for Diamond Candidates; Battery Problem is Coach Burr's Chie, Worry. Fortified with a galaxy of players with Captain Monroe at the helm, the 1927 Howard University baseball team is prepared to face the forthcoming season with excellent championship prospects. Forty candidates, including several promising prospects from last year's Freshman team reported to Coach Burr Wednesday afternoon for indoor practice. Among the letter men who have reported so far, are Captain Meizie Monroe, Johnny Codwell, Tick Smith, Harry Payne, Les Braden, Fred Slade and Babe Jefferson. Monroe the little slugger from Baltimore, is captain of the team and so doubt the best shortstop Howard has ever claimed, while Codwell, the Blue and White second baseman is individually good as well as a perfect running mate to his captain. Smith and Payne, gridders par excellence, also present a formidable pair of flychasers. Braden filled in the third base position rather creditably last season, and Jefferson did most of the receiving. In Fred Slade Coach Burr has his old southpaw ace, and one of the city's leading moundsmen. Of the fifteen candidates for the hurling corps the Bison mentor depends chiefly on Slade and Roy. Hammond former Tech twirler, and Hunter have shown up well thus far, but due to the ban on fully displaying their wares, the rest of the pitchers have not been able to "cut loose." The 1927 campaign opens on April 2nd against Storer College. Following is a tentative outline of the game to be played: April 2 and 3, Storer, here. April 8, Morgan, here.. April 16, S. C. State A. & M, here. April 19, Livingstone, at Salisbury. April 21, S. C. State A. & M., at Orangeburg. April 23, N. C. State College, at Durham. May 4, Livingstone, here. May 5, Morris Brown, here. May 20, N. C. State College, here. Manager Earl Bridges has announced two practice games for March 23 and 24, which will serve the double purpose of giving Coach Burr a true line on the capabilities of the aspirants. Outdoor practice will start as soon as the weather permits and Howard will be on the road contending for the collegiate baseball championship. SALARIES INSUFFICIENT SAYS LONNIE GOODWIN LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 18 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—"The National Negro and the Eastern Leagues are cutting salaries to a place where a baseball player is not fairly paid for services rendered," is the parting shot hurled by Lonnie Goodwin as he and his team embarked Wednesday for the Orient on a Japanese steamer. On his team he had Duncan and Cooper, National leaguers and Dixon and Mackey, Eastern leaguers. The club will play its first games in Japan and stop in Manila and Honolulu on the return voyage. Sometime in June is the date the players are expected to return to the States. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1927 THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR Spring is here! One of the surest signs of fairer weather appeared last week when in the same day the writer ran across Spike Spencer and Andrew Allen just moseying out from their winter habitat of hibernation. Spike, that well known guardian of the arbitrators' interests, when the season for the shin-guard and mask rolls around, ventured out in the warmth of last week in all his mask arrays of overweight. That stentorian voiced wielder of 'bawl' and "strack" is carrying excess weight on his front extremity capable of crowding the roostiest of breast protectors. Yet he can umpire. That team of Spencer and Despert, in the writer's opinion, can compare very favorably with any of the major league pairs. Andrew Allen, the LeDroit Tiger "Connie Mack" is running around like a scared rabbit trying to find the guy who says any of his ball players are going to leave him. "Tis not so," say he. I see in Cum Posey's column of the Pittsburgh Courier, March 12, the question, "How good is Lanky Jones?" Take it from me, Cum, the Morgan captain is really "the goods." Beyond a reasonable doubt Jones is one of the best pivot men in the game today, barring none. Organization in the athletic clubs of the Shenandoah Valley is deserving of much commendation. The P.P.P. at Lexington, the Chisolit at Staunton, and the Blue Circle and Arcadian clubs of Harrisonburg, Virginia, all have first class quarters. Each organization has its own club house with card and checker tables, billiard tables, lounge chairs, and player piano or victrola. This shows how much greater is the development of independent organizations in that region than in our own town. That the people appreciate such work is shown by the support they give their teams. Basketball games are usually played before capacity crowds. YELLOWJACKETS WIN FROM LEROVER A. C YELLOWJACKETS WIN FROM LEROVER A. C An improved LeRover quint went down to a 47-19 defeat at the hands of the Communities last Monday night in a "Y" League game. With Hammond and Verton French added to their roster the Green and White team presented a stronger line-up than they have had before this season. Marschall started in the Community line-up and was excused at the close of the first half. Givens entering in his place. This left the champions with only five players and when with 4 minutes to play, Thomas was disqualified on 4 personal fouls, the Yellowjackets were forced to finish with 4 men. Those minutes remaining were consumed by a well executed freeze.

Oh me! Oh my! Why couldn't it have been nearer than New York City? MORRIS BROWN WINS OPENER ATLANTA, Ga.-With the superb pitching of Red Spruill, and the timely hitting of Clark, Johnson, Sanders and Credell, Morris Brown, was able to down the hard hitting Indians of the Federal Prison of Atlanta, Georgia, by a score of 7-5, in her opening game of the season. The hitting of W. H. Johnson of Morris Brown, who connected four times, getting a triple, double and two singles, in as many times at bat, and Sampson who collected two doubles, and a single in four times up were features. Another bright spot was Spruill, who held the Indians to five hits, scattered over seven innings. NEW BALL TEAM FORMING George Martin, Jr., manager of the Favorite Theatre, 62 H street, northwest, is considering forming a baseball team and putting it on the field against the city's leading independent baseball teams this coming season. Martin, who is the son of the well known theatre owner of Georgetown, is himself a good ball-player. He was a three-year member of the Dunbar High School Varsity playing in the outfield. He has spoken to several prominent players in the neighborhood of his theatre and has received their promises to sign with him. He has not yet divulged their names. --- --- SLIM HENDERSON STARS WITH BUCS SLIM HENDERSON STARS WITH BUCS Former Carlisle Fits in Nicey With Speedy New Jersey ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Mar. 12.—"Slim" Henderson former Armstrong Tech captain and a shining light of the 1927 Carlisle machine played a most important part in the 35-28 victory here tonight the local Buccaneers enjoyed over Ike Wright's renovated Athenian machine from Baltimore. Henderson left Washington two weeks ago to join the Buccaneer quint and since that time has filled in very creditably with New Jersey's speediest aggregation. The visiting team was strengthened with the addition of Spears and Simpson, Howard University four letter men, but with Henderson, former Armstrong High captain at center for the Buc result was never in doubt. Wills at forward, ran the visiting guards ragged, accounting for six field and a trio of foul tosses. While Spears outscored Henderson, the latter's defensive play evened honors. Googleles Poles and Scrapny Brown did good work for the losers, but Pendleton held Simpson in check. The first half ended with the Bues in front 16-11, and eased up in the second half after obtaining a fifteen point lead. Howard and Green scored heavily in this canto. ORIENTAL TIGERS MAKE READY FOR SEASON ORIENTAL TIGERS MAKE READY FOR SEASON Under their new manager, Elgie Richards, well known local sand-lot umpire, the Oriental Tigers are preparing for what they intend to make their banner baseball campaign. The Orientals for the past three years have had one of Washington's strongest semi-professional nines, and this season with Richards at the helm of the southwest team promises to be a dangerous outfit. The new manager is very much liked and is probably southwest's most popular diamond authority. The field at South Capitol and P streets, has been obtained and with Government consent for the erection of permanent seats on these grounds a worth while diamond is assured the Tigers. A regular rental fee is to be paid each month for the reservation of the space hence the new management is not only allowed sole use of the diamond but exclusive rights on all refreshment concessions also. The officers of the Orientals are as follows: Samuel Henson, president; Ray Pheelus, secretary; Ernest Mackell, treasurer; Elgie Richards, manager. The Oriental Tiger management is still undecided as to whether or not the team will be entered in the Union League. Work on the grounds, which is to include the installation of a regulation backstop, permanent seating arrangement and general overhauling of the diamond, is to begin as soon as final arrangements can be made.

DARLINGTON, 1975 KURO BLDG, KANSAS CITY, MG Five --- PILES CURED GRIDIRON RULES CHANGED CHARLESTON STAYS WITH TALLADEGA BEGINS BASE-BALL PRACTICE HARRISBURG GIANTS --- THE CHANGES The football rules committee announced radical revisions Saturday in the playing code for the 1927 season. The outstanding changes are: 1. The goal posts have been placed back ten yards to the back line of the end zone. 2. A time limit of 30 seconds has been placed on putting the ball into play. 3. A limit of 15 seconds has been put on the huddle. 4. A pause of approximately one second must be made in the shift play before the ball is passed. 5. A fumbled punt will be regarded hereafter as a dead ball and not a loose ball. 6. A missed backward pass, other than from the snapper-back, will be a dead ball and not a loose ball. --- NEW YORK CITY—The football rules were thoroughly overhauled last week and several radical changes were made. The rules committee labored over the changes for several hours and a meeting, which promised only minor revisions in the rules developed into their most complete renovation since the introduction of the forward pass. The most radical change is the removal of the goal posts from the goal line to the back line of the end zone, 10 yards back. This will make drop-kicks and kicks from placement more difficult, including the short, easy field goals for the extra point after touchdowns. A time limit of 30 seconds was placed on putting the ball into play, and a limit of 15 seconds was also put on the huddle. A pause of approximately one second, to be determined by an official by counting one, two, three, four, must be made in the shift play before the ball is passed. The new rule which does away with the recovery of a loose ball after a backward pass or after a punt brings the Rugby feature into the game. Under the new rule the ball is dead when it strikes the ground and remains in the possession of the attacking side, except on the fourth down. Another new rule will annul the chances of picking up a loose ball after a punt: "When a kicked ball, other than a kick-off, kick from fair catch, or kick following a safety, is illegally recovered by the kicker's side, before it has passed into possession and control of the other side, it shall be declared dead at the point of recovery." The members of the committee wrestled for a long time with the shift, and huddle plays before they finally put the time limit on them. The new rule follows: "In all shift and huddle plays, the players must come to an absolute stop and remain stationary in their new positions and without movement of feet or swaying of body, for a period of approximately one second (this period may be conveniently measured by rapidly counting, 'one, two, three, four'). The penalty for violation of this rule is 15 yards, an increase of five yards over the old penalty." The committee also adopted three measures for speeding up the game. The right of the captain to call time four times in each half was curtailed to three times in each half. Violation of the rules is a five-yard penalty. The rule which limits the time of the huddle and of putting the ball in play to 30 seconds is as follows: "A delay of more than 30 seconds in putting the ball into play, after it is ready for play, or for a team remaining more than 15 seconds in a huddle may be considered as prima facie evidence of intentional delay of the game." The penalty in each of these instances is five yards. The moving of the goal posts from the goal line to the back line of the end zone was done to make the point after a touchdown more difficult, to remove an obstruction to rushing plays and defense plays on the goal line and to add a little more difficulty to the kicking of goals from the field. Under the present code, after a touchdown, the ball is taken out three yards and the offensive team has the option of scoring its extra point by a kick, forward pass or rushing. The distance is so short that the option was rarely exercised and it was an easy matter to kick to the goal from about the 15-yard line. Moving the posts back 10 yards will necessitate a 25-yard kick and the rule makers believe that teams will make more use of the pass and rushing game to get the point. The new position of the posts means that teams will have to rush the ball closer to the goal line before attempting dropkicks or kicks from placement. The eleven having a dropkick specialist will not have the advantage it formerly had over another eleven which might be its equal in rushing ability. Still another reason for the change was to remove the obstacle of the posts. They were often in the way of a rushing play and were frequently the cause of injuries. The removal of the posts will also make it easier for the defending team to kick from behind the goal line. Another new rule gives the referee full power to deal with interference of nonplayers in a game. This rule will cover the rushing on the field of substitutes or spectators. It gives the referee power to deal with cases of unfair instances when there are 12 men on a side on the playing field. The following veterans were or hand: Captain C. Hamilton, H. Hamilton, W. Brown, H. Carter, P. James, and A. Williams, infielders; Poole, catcher; L. Mehone and E. Tremble, outfielders; S. Seay and W. Gillard, pitchers. Hay Carter of the 1924 Talladega team was among the veterans who reported to the coach. At the time Carter left school in 1924 he was rated with the best first baggers in Dixie. In practices last week he showed flashes of his old form. His return is most opportune as Scot Hi Edwards, Talladega's sensational fielder of last year's aggregation has been forced to retire in order to bring his scholastic average up to standard.

While the proposed plan to use Virginia League parks at Richmond and Norfolk and the fact that Colonel Strothers' cohorts cooperate with the New York-Pennsylvania league team for the use of Island Park, the Harrisburg team has slowed up the work of mapping out the schedule for the first half. The commissioners of Ike Nutter's loop are speeding up the routine of spring business and pointing to April 30 as opening day for the league season. With the exception of Harrisburg and the Brooklyn Royal Giants, virtually the same field marshals are in line and will prime their charges for the half-way dash of the split schedule. Ben Taylor is at Baltimore, John Henry Lloyd is with the Lincoln Giants, Pelayo Chacon will again sponsor the Cuban Stars, Frank Warfield is with Hilldale and Dick Lundy leads the Bachraechs. Dick Redding, the veteran hurler of the Royal Giants will supplant Bill Wagner as director in chief and John Beckwith of Chicago comes to his own as leader of Colonel 'Strothers' Harrisburg Giants. The case of Beckwith wearing the ermine at the Pennsylvania Capital has much significance due to the fact that Oscar Charleston, the erstwhile leader of Harrisburg did verbally and in printer's ink bolt the ranks of the Giants and the Eastern Circuit during the bleak months of winter and was reported to have done some fancy autographing for one Cumberland Posey who hands out meal checks to the Homestead Grays. However, evidently all did not go well, and audacious Oscar destroyed the Pittsburgh parchment and is now at Colonel Strothers' stronghold awaiting the call of play. But while the erring one has returned, and is in good grace from a league standpoint, the boss of Harrisburg refused to await the flip of the coin and elevated Johnnie Beckwith to the managerial post. Now even though Oscar has returned it looks as though the greyhound of the garden will play second fiddle to Beckwith. Mackey Off to Japan Distaining the fact that earthquakes have been wrecking Japan, and neighboring China is in the throes of a revolution, Bizz Mackey, the portly, versatile and affable Texan, who did the bulk of the receiving for the Hilddale club, is reported to be numbered among Lonnie Goodwin's globe trotters who have left here for the Orient. Rapp Dixon, the Steelton, Pa. youth, who covered the right garden for Colonel Strothers at Harriburg, is another Eastern leaguer included among the tourists bound for Yokohama. Just how long the lotus land will hold a lure for the corn fed boys from the "states" is a problem, but undoubtedly they will be numbered as A.W.O.L. when the roll is called for the league season. This then that the five-year penalty from organized ball will give the wayward ones time to tour Siberia and other far points. FIVE With the opening game of the season less than four weeks off, Talladega issued a call for all baseball candidates to report March 7 at 3 p.m., in the Callanan Gym. At that time the Grimson and Blue mentor outlined his plans for the season and the next day the preliminary work began in the gym because of the weather conditions outdoors. The battery candidates have been drilling for the past ten days. LOWEST PRICES Furs Remodeled and Refined GOODE TAILORING CO. Cleaners and Dyers 251 FLORIDA AVENUE, N.W.

The recital in Sandy Springs, Md., was given at the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church. Her program was well received.

C. Hayes and Er- nest J. Davis, the defendants al- lege that this covenant is in its essential nature a contract in un- lawful restraint of alienation and is opposed to ‘the public policy of the United States. Fifth Amendment They also say that a decree re- quiring them to give up possession Of the property which ‘they are now occupying because they = Negroes would constitute a viola- tion of the Fifth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. ‘The defendants declare that they are the owners in fee simple and have the lawful right to occupy the premises. They deny that their occupancy of this property is injurious, de- preciative and absolutely ruinous to real estate in that section. They state that when property in such neighborhoods is sold to colored persons the top market price is obtained and the appearance of a Negro results in a greatly en- hanced valuation. Location of Property ‘This property is located in First street Between Adams and Bry- ant streets, northwest. Other houses in this block, the defen- dants say, are being offered for sale to colored persons. ‘There are five suits pending in the District Supreme Court involv- ing the ownership and occupancy of property by, colored persons in this section.

The sets and props, union working crews such as carpenters, electricians, property men, camera men and directors are heavy costs. What we need is a producing film company, capitalized, say at a half million dollars, and employ our own working crew with the exceptions of a cameraman, director and detail man as we have not had the opportunity to learn these fine points. After the company has functioned two or three years we could then qualify, so you can see what it would mean to our people finally. I do believe that if some real live men got behind a proposition like this they could incorporate and sell a half million dollars' worth of stock, but of course, the right men would have to be behind it, and not some fly-by-night, get-rich-quick promoters. We can and will give employment not only to the actor but to the above mentioned working crews besides our stenographers, bookkeepers, salesmen, and etc. I am sure that we could raise the half million because the profit derived from the investment would mean so much to us financially. I need help, so I am asking the opinion of not only the managers of colored theatres, but the public at large. Write your ideas and suggestions to this paper or to me, in care of this paper. This enterprise would give work to many of our group who are cut off from this particular kind of money-making.

Dudley, Sr. Pictures owned and played in by colored people is my subject this week. We need them. I don't believe any manager lost a dime on a colored picture regardless of how rotten the picture was—if that be the case. Why can't they make money with good colored pictures with good colored scenarios written carefully around colored atmospheres? I think we should write around ourselves and stop trying to ape the white man. I do believe that if the Lafayette Players, when first organized and made such wonderful success in New York and other eastern cities, and in Chicago, had used Negro plays, instead of playing the same shows that the white actors had played, they would not have suffered by comparison and would have made an everlasting success. When one goes to a colored theatre they want colored amusement and I fell safe in saying that one colored picture a month would not be too much—but, of course, we want good pictures and we must encourage the producer to make them. All managers of colored theatres should play them as there are so few colored theatres in the United States in comparison with the whites, and it cost just as much to produce a good colored picture as it does to produce a good white picture.

You who have read my articles regarding colored pictures, will say, "Well, old Dud is just playing his scheme to put over colored pictures." But that is not true. Miller and Lyles were all smiles to see their affair a wonderful and enjoyable success, since it was given in their honor. I might say that the majority of this same party was being entertained at Cafe de Parie, and on finding out where these two young comedians were, left and came to my home so fast and thick that I was forced to lock municipality tries to into a property right of a or of a Negro, such as to own, use and dispose tate, on the sole ground color. In the latter case man or the Negro, as the be, is attempted to be of a constitutional right to him by the fourteenth Of all of the big pictures, (I mean white) that are produced by all of the biggest film corporations in the U.S.A., 26,227 are comedy dramas, and it is a positive fact that big comedies have fallen flat in the colored theatres. I speak the truth when I say no comedy picture ever drew or made a cent for Negro managers, and you Mr. and Mrs. Audience, you know you don't like them. So you will have to agree that a good colored picture, well acted, well photographed, well titled and well presented is what you want. Can you now see the demand for colored pictures? Why not insist on having them? Why not invest in them? How? The writer is not in a position to say, but with your help we can solve the problem. Mr. Manager, if you cannot book some real colored pictures your theatre will not pay you the profit on your investment as it has in the past. And to the race investor and race "prider" and employee, it is your duty to open the doors that have for years been closed against you. And it is you who hold the key to the door. I may never live to see the door opened—but regardless—it must be done. And I at least would like for it to be said that Uncle Dud gave us this idea for our people to share in a profit-sharing, stable investment in which he had spent years of careful study to provide for the capitalists as well as the actor and graduates of our schools, in all walks of life. We can do all of these things mentioned, if we will just co-operate. So it becomes your duty to boost colored pictures. At some future date I am going to try and make a colored picture day by playing a colored picture in every theatre in Washington on the same day, but of course I will have to wait some time as we have not the class of pictures that would appeal to all of our theatres here. But the time will come, so boost and demand colored pictures in colored theatres. Now that's off my mind! ARDELLA PARKS SUSPENDED (Continued from page 1) vised the board that the junior high school building which is to replace the Garnet-Patterson elementary school building at Vermont avenue and U street is to be named the "Garnet-Patterson Junior High School." They also advised the board that the Randall building across the street from the Cardozo school is named the "Cardozo School" and the building in which the Randall Junior High School is located is named the "Randall Junior High School." The school building known as the Anthony Bowen School" is named the "William Trent Rossell" after Captain William Trent Rossell, former engineer commissioner of the District of Columbia. Date Set for Drill The date for the competitive drill of the twenty-fourth regiment of high school cadets was fixed as May 27. The board extended the leave of Mrs. J. L. Harley, a teacher in the Armstrong Technical High School, to June 30, without pay. Her teaching assignments will be given to Mrs. E. B. Howard, who was recentl y reinstated after a maternity leave, and to other teachers who are already in the service. Mrs. Harley has been on leave on account of ill health. Changes Made Changes in the personnel were as follows: Appointments — W. T. Dixon, temporary teacher, class 2A, Shaw Junior High; C. S. Taliferro, temporary teacher, class 1A, Giddings-Lincoln group; M. M. Ross, probationary teacher, class 1A, Deanwood School; I. V. Smoot, probationary teacher, class 1A, Burrville School; S. M. H. Popel, permanent teacher, class 1A, Briggs-Montgomery Group. Transfers — B. L. Sayles, teacher, class 1A, from Burrville to Banneker-Jones Group. Leave of absence — J. L.

S. .H DUDLEY IS HOST TO MILLER AND LYLES (Continued from page 1) did leave—so to get even, he called up the police and informed them that there were white people and Negroes at my home, fighting and doing a lot of other things. "To my surprise, the door bell rang about 4 a.m. The lieutenant and a half dozen officers entered, while the other officers were waiting outside. When the lieutenant entered, he found the party had just finished their lunch. He smiled and said, 'Dudley, we heard there was a big fight here, but we're just in time for lunch,' and he laughed and walked out. My guests remained until 5:30 a.m. Comedians Popular "I have never met a finer bunch Miller and Lyles were all smiles to see their affair a wonderful and enjoyable success, since it was given in their honor. I might say that the majority of this same party was being entertained at Cafe de Parie, and on finding out where these two young comedians were, left and came to my home so fast and thick that I was forced to lock the door. So, these two gentlemen, Miller and Lyles, are not only drawing cards at the theatres, but they turn them away at banquets." Police report that after they had returned to the station from the Dudley home, telephonic requests continued to come in for an investigation, but no further action was taken. They had seen the party was in no way out of order, and laid the calls to jealous persons who evidently were uninvited and had become disgruntled. DECISION IN LA. SEGREGATION CASE REVERSED in equal measure to all citizens, white or colored, by the Fourteenth Amendment. "Such a prohibition cannot be sustained upon the grounds that through race segregation it serves to diminish miscegenation and promotes the public peace by averting race hostility and conflict, or that it prevents deterioration in value of property only when occupied by white people, nor does the fact that upon its face it applies impartially to both races relieve it of the vice of discrimination or obviate the objection that it deprives of property without due process of law." The action was begun in the civil district court in New Orleans, Joseph W. Tyler, white, filed a petition for an injunction restraining Benjamin Harmon, colored, from renting No. 282 Audubon street, which Mr. Harmon owned, to colored tenants as a residence. Mr. Tyler cited the ordinance of the city of New Orleans which required him to secure the written consent of a majority of the white persons inhabiting the block. Violates Amendment Mr. Harmon raised the Federal question that the ordinance was unconstitutional because it violates the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution in that it deprives him of his property without due process of law by attempting to deprive him of the right to dispose of it or to lease it to a constitutionally qualified person on the sole ground of race or color. Judge Hugh C. Cage declared the ordinance unconstitutional. Mr. Tyler appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The judgment of the lower court was reversed. The Louisiana Supreme Court held that the ordinance did not violate the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution and remanded the case to the lower court for a rehearing. A preliminary injunction was issued in the lower court in conformity with the decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court. After denying a rehearing, the Louisiana Supreme Court allowed a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court. The case was argued before the Supreme Court, March 8. Lloys Charbonnet, attorney for Mr. Harmon, contended that this case was controlled by the decision in the case of Buchanan vs. Warley, the Louisville segregation case, decided in 1917. Is Unconstitutional Francis P. Burns, city attorney of New Orleans, who was allowed to file a brief as amicus curiae, and W. W. Wright, attorney for Mr. Tyler, argued that this case is not controlled by the decision in the Louisville segregation case but is governed by that in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. In that case the Supreme Court held that a provision of a statute of Louisiana requiring railway companies carrying passengers to provide in their coaches equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races did not run counter to the provisions of the fourteenth amendment. Cases Compared Mr. Justice McReynolds repeatedly asked counsel for Mr. Tyler to distinguish between the Louisville case and the one they were arguing. Their replies were in effect that under the Louisville ordinance a colored person could not occupy a block in which the majority of persons were white, but under the New Orleans ordinance a colored person could occupy a home in such a block provided he obtained the written consent of a majority of the white people in that block. City Attorney Burns made a passionate appeal to race prejudice. He asked the Supreme Court to uphold the validity of the New Orleans ordinance to prevent social contact between the races. In closing and asking a reversal of the decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court, Mr. Charbonnet declared that the decision in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson was irrelevant. He said: Apply Equally to All "It is one thing for a white man or a Negro to be told that, in order to avail himself of the accommodations of a public carrier, or to receive education, at the hands of the state, he must abide by the rules and regulations of the carrier or of the State, provided that the rules and regulations apply equally to both of them. The property in both of these cases is that of another. "It is an entirely different mat- ter environment within the world." The Seasons to Book for Spring Dances March, April and May are the popular months for Spring Dances and Receptions. Experience for a number of years has proved that dances during this season are invariably financially successful.

In the latter case the white man or the Negro, as the case may be, is attempted to be deprived of a constitutional right guaranteed to him by the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution." The decision of the Supreme Court in the Louisiana segregation case followed by one week the court's decision invalidating the Texas statute barring colored citizens from participating in Democratic primaries. The bringing of the case to the United States Supreme Court was fostered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. On the brief with Attorney Charbonnet was Attorney Frank B. Smith of New Orleans. URBAN LEAGUE MAKES REPORT ON INDUSTRY Bulletin No. 10, of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: General Conditions Labor advisers throughout the country are reporting a slowing up in industry following the holiday rush. Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Florida are all feeling this depression. From Chicago word comes that the industrial situation has come almost to the acute stage. Laborers are being laid off there and only temporary work is available. Fort Wayne's outlook in employment for January in rather gloomy and Minnesota finds the usual seasonal depression coupled with a disinclination to hire Negroes. Migration Brooklyn notes an influx of Southern migrants, especially from The Sea to Book Spring March, April and May for Spring Dances and for a number of years having this season are inva- ful.

Many of the men have not sufficient industrial experience to fit into jobs that are open and therefore drift aimlessly from city to city until they are without funds. Laborers are coming to Chicago from all sections of the country. There is no movement away from the city. Hot Springs, Arkansas, also reports incoming workers. Noteworthy Incidents The U.S. Department of Labor has released two significant incidents concerning Palmyra, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.; In Washington, a novel and successful experiment in the form of a building trades school is being carried on here. Bricklaying, plastering, cement work and tile setting are taught daily in a class of 15 white and 16 colored apprentices. The actual course may be covered in three months, with an additional month of practical experience on an actual job. Up to the present time 41 students have completed the course and are now at work on jobs at wages from $10 to $18 per day. The school apparently meets a long felt need as a substitute for apprenticeships. Beason, N.J.—From April until September the dozen bricklayers in and around Beason give employment to more than a thousand colored men. During the fall and winter not more than one hundred men are employed. There has been trouble among the men during the busy summer seasons, due largely to a lack of recreational facilities and the promiscuous manner in which men are hired. Plans are under way to remedy these conditions. Boston, Mass.-The Boston Urban League has been quite successful in placing clerical workers in desirable positions. It also has placed two workers in the publicity department of the Boston Civic League. Brooklyn, N.Y.-The Y.M.C.A., reports a placement in a "very desirable position" as shippings clerk. A boy was also given employment by the New York Times in a department where there has been no opportunity for a colored boy heretofore.

North 5224 Liberal Progressive Independent AMENDING THE CONSTI- TUTION Nineteen amendments have been added to the Constitution of the United States since its formation, nearly one hundred and forty years ago. These amendments were proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress and ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States. In Article Five of the Constitution there is another method provided for proposing amendments to the Constitution, that is: "The Congress, . . . on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, . . . shall be valid to all intents and purposes, . . . when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States," etc. There is pending in the New York legislature a resolution offered by Mr. Cuvillier, a Tammany member from New York City, to apply to Congress to call such a convention. In an article in the March number of the "Forum," Mr. Cuvillier explains that his purpose is to amend the Eighteenth Amendment. He says the only way to do it is to apply to Congress to call a convention. He also claims that thirty-two States, or the required two-thirds, have already applied for a constitutional convention since 1901. If that be true, one wonders why he is urging his resolution. The New York Times gives twenty-eight as the number that have already applied. Upon examination it is found that the purpose for which most of these States asked for a convention has already been accomplished. It is said that twenty-seven of the States asked for a convention to propose an amendment providing for election of United States Senators by popular vote. Of course, those States do not now want a convention; or if they do, it is reasonable to suppose that they will signify it anew. Mr. Cuvillier is merely carrying propaganda against the Eighteenth Amendment. There tion. will be no constitutional conven- THE MISTAKES OF KELLY MILLER Persons who have known Professor Kelly Miller, and have a fair knowledge of things he has been writing and saying during the last quarter of a century, or more, will not be surprised at his acceptance and advocacy of the principle of racial segregation. Shortly after the Wilmington, North Carolina, riots of 1898, he announced his policy of "political self-effacement" wherein he advocated the renunciation by the Negro of the ballot and other political rights. The indignation with which the race received this announcement of policy was so universal and emphatic that, Professor Miller made a complete and unconditional recantation thereof, and was granted absolution by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke and the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, his brother, and their act was ratified by the race, in consequence of which Professor Miller was restored to "good and regular standing" as a leader of the race. While he has shown from time to time tendencies to relapse to the old "self-effacement" position, and has staggered and stumbled and wobbled, and aroused suspicion and mistrust as to his qualifications for leadership, he has done nothing quite so abnormal and unnatural as the writing of the article on segregation which appeared in this month's magazine of "Current History." Such writings will find a ready RICHMOND VA. NEWS On last Monday evening, Mrs. E. Dudley, wife of Rev. J. W. Dudley, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, presented a program in which recoltations, solos, and quartet numbers were features. The visiting quartette rendered several numbers, among which were: "T'll be ready for the meeting in the sky," and "No. Never." Miss Notice Mead rendered an instrumental solo. Charles Howerton sang "The Old Rugged Cross," accompanied by Miss Hazel Shaw at the piano. Boyd Lee sang, "In the Upper Garden." Mrs. Emma Howerton recited an amusing number, entitled "The devil done said he isn't gwine have much mercy on people in the next world." Washington's Tribune Washington's Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at th Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 market in certain literary circles, especially in quarters where the doctrine of "white supremacy" is worshipped as a fetist. No doubt Hiram W. Evans, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, has read the article with satisfaction and approval. It is conceded that Professor Miller possesses a style of writing that, on account of its bizarre and spectacular qualities, arrests the attention of persons interested more in form than in substance. Look away from his peculiarities and idiosyncracies of expression, and regard his substance, and he will be found to be reckless and inaccurate in statement of facts, lacking in fullness and completeness of information of the subject of which he presumes to treat, and hasty and inconsiderate in the formulation of conclusions. In short, barring a certain facility of diction, his out-givings are lacking in the elements of true scholarship. His attempt to explain the effect of court decisions in the article under consideration led him into a field which he was unfitted to survey because his training and understanding had not been directed into that area of knowledge. His statement that the Negro is unlike the Indian and the Japanese and the Chinese in the matter of the voluntary selection of a place of habitation is absolutely incorrect. In the mass, the Negro is gregarious in the same way as the races named, as any observer can see. The rich Chinese and Japanese and Indians do not live in Chinese and Japanese quarters, nor on Indian reservations. Jews of the economic status of Rosenwald, Goldman, Kahn and Baruch do not live in crowded tenements and particular racial areas. For a verification of this assertion, it is only necessary to visit Chicago, Cleveland and New York. It is not likely that the present generation of Negroes will view with less disfavor Professor Miller's championship of segregation than his own generation viewed his doctrine of "self-effacement." The interest now being manifested in the contribution of Negro writers, actors, musicians, and other workers in the intellectual area of human endeavor, is calling forth a variety of comment and expression of opinion. Fanny Hurst, the novelist, has recently had this to say: "There is much talk about a Negro renaissance in America. Which is rather beside the point, because what has not yet been born cannot very well be reborn. "What actually is happening, however, is that artistically and intellectually a languid-minded race is beginning to assert its manifold talents. The Negro is by way of becoming an economic, industrial and intellectual force in national life. He is showing spotty, in those sections of the country where he has had the chance to develop, witness Chicago and New York, qualities heretofore unsuspected." Senator Blease of South Carolina, who allied himself with twenty-four filibustering Republicans during the closing days of the last session of Congress to prevent the continuation of the activities of the Reed Slushing Fund Committee is greatly concerned about the recent decision of the Supreme Court declaring the Texas primary law unconstitutional. Blease's constituents compose the lowest and most bloodthirsty element of the South Carolina whites, and he knows how to warm the cockles of their hearts. A procession followed in which the twelve leaders, representing the twelve months of the year, marched in with their followers. A prize of $2.50 in gold was offered to the month raising the highest amount of money. Miss Edmonia Preston, representing May, won the prize. Lenten services are held regularly on Wednesday and Friday nights at St. Phillips P. E. Church on Leigh street, and are being well attended.

Adams Enlarging upon the idea expressed in our last week's article that "musical art suffers from lack of public support," we take pleasure herewith in suggesting that Washingtonians should organize a citizen's "Musical Art Association" for the advancement of the cause of music. In fact, its scope even could be expanded to include the art of painting, sculpture, literature, poetry and musical composition by colored citizens. Such a group then should use some such designation as "Society of Fine Arts and Letters" grouping into one common body all persons of ability and cultural aspiration pledged to maintain and foster its ideals. An organization of this character not only would permit the acquisition of such scholarly minds as President Mordecai W. Johnson, John H. Hawkins, Emmett J. Scott, Archibald Grimke, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Walter Brooks, Dr. Sara Brown, Dr. Eva B. Dykes, Garnet C. Wilkinson, J. U. King, J. L. S. Holloman, W. L. Washington, Allan Leroy Locke, and others but also the cream of the music profession and such other citizens who would place cultural attainment and intellectual progress over and above that of materialistic aggrandizement. This city should support an organization of this type in order to perpetuate art in its noblest form and not depend upon spasmodic maudlin sentiment, the cause already of too many artistic failures locally. Its maintenance should be based upon a permanent substantial plan whereby its actual existence would be assured beyond the shadow of a doubt. The sheep need not be separated from the goat, the culturally inclined group from the non-cultural, the ambitious and aspiring from those of the lethargic and care-free element. Intelligent Washingtonians at least should preserve some blamance of their artistic ideals rather than allow it to trail in the dust for want of proper guidance. Through such an organization we could foster musicals of the highest order, place upon exhibition in the national capital canvases, water-color paintings and etchings by artists both embryo and famed, literary productions of merit and so on. We have already, we believe, a density of clubs of every description and character here in the capital, golf, athletics, social and the exclusive brand whatever that means. We should at least have one group of culturally inclined minds that seek a field of usefulness in mental development and appreciation of the finer things in life. Three hundred persons out of this large population here would indeed be a meager response if at all, but at School of Leigh Street M. E. Church was held Friday evening. Rev. Williams, the pastor, presided; and the newly elected superintendent, O. M. Stewart, outlined his plans for the future. A new office was created, called the attendance and growth department. R. B. Kenney was elected chairman of this department. The slogan of the Sunday school is "Plan our work and work our plans." After the board meeting, a banquet was served by Mrs. Logan and others. Mr. Finney, known as "Jack," who is a tonsorial artist on a steamer which runs between West Point and Baltimore, escaped drowning when the vessel he was on sank. Miss Susie Turner, 126 Wood street, is very ill. Mr. Arthur Alexander, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kinsey Alexander, of Nicholson street, and Miss Mary Lou Frazier, of E. Clay street, were quietly married Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock, at the home of Rev. R. B. Ruff, pastor of the Union Level Baptist Churcha THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1927 times we even doubt if so small a number could be induced to join in such a movement where all who wish may feel its beneficent influence. KIDDIES' Primarily however, we are extremely interested and concerned in a better method of conducting successful concerts of merit for the benefit of our music loving public and the large and ever growing group of music students who undoubtedly are starving to death for want of a larger musical perspective and inspirational adjunct. It is evident that we will not respond readily under present conditions as noted particularly during the past season. The only feasible way it seems would be to organize a group of our citizens with enough civic pride to guarantee such affairs and put the thing over successfully. Otherwise we see no hope in the immediate future of ever enjoying another series of artistic concerts unless tied down to some commercial scheme for material gain. People generally lose sight of art when the question of money enters the picture. Get the dollar as we must and will but talent and genius should be respected as something apart from physical characteristics. These concerts should embrace artists of any and all races and not merely be restricted to our own group—that is segregation under another thin disguise. We should have the leading artists under all circumstances regardless to race but in the meantime we should encourage those of our own group. Among citizens whom we believe would be favorable to our suggestion we mention: C. Summer Wormley, Amanda Gray Hillyer, Virginia Williams, Gabrielle Pelham, Gregoria Fraser Goins, Thomas E. Frazier, William W. Orme, Charles A. Champ, J. Henry Lewis is Julia West Hamilton, Benjamin Washington, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Alfred H. Johnson, Marie C. James, Mary E. Europe, Wesley L. Howard, William L. Tignor, James T. Beason, R. J. Daniels, Grace Lucas Thompson, Clyde L. Glass, and others possibly. The greatness of any city is first measured by its quality of mind matter and degree of intelligence not by its prowess of physical gymnasts and aerobic stunt-doers. The greatness of citizenship rests in the character of intellectual accomplishment, cultural attainment and moral status. The height of human conduct lies in the refinement of civic ideals perpetuated by a standard of altruistic principles subordinated only to that of religion. Great are we who first conceive greatness in the realm of humility comprehending its basic potentialities for good in the promotion of welfare among others of the flesh. May not we more or less, reason together for good! ARTISTS TOUR SOUTH J. Rosamond Johnson, baritone, Taylor Gordon, tenor, Clarence Cameron White, violinist, and Clyde Leroy Glass, violin accompanist gave a fine concert at Tuskegee Institute Chapel, February 26. The program consisted of spirituals as well as classical and modern works. Messrs. White and Glass together gave recitals at Talladge College, Alabama, February 25; North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham, March 2, and at Howard High School, Chattanooga, Tennessee, March 4. Mr. Glass at the close of engagements writes that the trip and the concerts both were quite a success. Mr. Glass is one among our most promising rising pianists.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor THE NEGRO IN ART Dear Editor: I have wanted to send in something to the Kiddies' Corner for a long while. Here is something that I learned during Negro History Week. In poetry, the Negro people have won high honors. They have been inspired by the early efforts of Juan Latino of Spain; Antar the African; Pushkin, of Russia; Alexander Dumas, of France, and his son, Alexander Dumas. Negroes of this country have given to the world a number of distinguished poets. Of those who have exhibited the thought of the Negro in verse, most honorable mention belongs to Jupiter Hammon, Phyllis Wheatley, George M. Horton and Dunbar. On the stage the Negro has been well represented by Ira Aldridge, the Shakespearean actor; Robert Cole, and Egbert Austin Williams, comedians; Charles S. Gilpin, and Paul Robeson. Many are now saying that the Negro surpasses all other races in histrionic ability. In music, the Negro can point with pride to the fact that his race has produced the most popular music of modern times. This is evidently the only distinct contribution of America to civilization. With the inspiration of Samuel Coleridge Taylor, there have appeared Harry Burleigh, Will Marion Cook, J. Rosamond Johnson, Hazel Harrison, and Nathaniel Dett. For special aptitude in singing we have Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, Madam Marie Selika, Flora Batson, Marian Anderson, and Roland Hayes. Great credit belongs also to such instrumentalists as George Augustus Polgreen Bridgewater, Thomas Greene Bethune, and John William Boone. In painting, the Negro has produced successful workers. There have appeared a number with gifts like those of E. M. Bannister, William Edward Scott, and William A. Harper; but from the ranks of the Negro has come the most popular and the most distinguished of all painters of America, Henry O. Tanner. In sculpture, the race has been decidedly encouraged by the efforts of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Warrick Fuller, and May Howard Jackson. I am very proud of my race, and I will strive to do something that will make the race be proud of me. RUTH M. ST. CLAIR (13) BLANCHE KELSO BRUCE By Louise Johns Blanche Kelso Bruce was the most successful leader that the American Negro has yet produced. Although born a slave in Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia, March 1, 1841, he rose rapidly to an official position in the legislative and executive service of the United States, next below that of the Vice-President and Cabinet Officers. Branch Bruce was the name given in childhood but as he approached manhood he changed it to Blanche Kelso. In this respect he was not unlike Booker T. Washington, Fredrick Douglass and Grover Cleveland. The family was taken to Mississippi, thence to Brunswick, Missouri. In this town when quite a small boy, he was the printer's helper. All his old moments were spent in reading books and newspapers. Thus, like many other men who have become eminent, he laid the foundation of a good English education. During the Civil War, he escaped to Lawrence, Kansas, and opened the first school for colored children. In 1864, the first school for colored children in Missouri, was taught by him at Hannibal. In 1866, he entered Oberlin where he remained only one year. The next year found him at St. Louis, an employee on the Steamer Columbia, which plied between St. Louis and Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mr. Bruce left the steamboat service, went prospecting, first to Arkansas, thence to Tennessee, finally remaining in Mississippi. Shortly afterward he was appointed by Military Governor General Adelbert Aimes, conductor of elections for Fallahiatic County. On assembling of the legislature, Mr. Bruce appeared at Jackson as a candidate for sergeant-at-arms in the senate and was elected, serving during the entire session. In 1871, he was appointed by cer and in the United States Se Governor Alcorn as assessor of ate at Washington helped to ad Bolivar County and the same year to his popularity. Boy Scout Work BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZED IN BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT TO B DEANWOOD EXTENDED THE BOY SCOUTS' SUCCESS After a long study of the paper Alex yellled, "I have it!" I have it! The first word is "Warren" spelled backwards, the next word is "is" and the next is "in." And sure enough Alex was correct. The message read, "Warren is in shack two miles north of Marionsville in Big Star Gap." Bob made a grand gesture and said, "Boys, our desire to find adventure is now realized. We leave for Big Star Gap tomorrow!" The morrow at last dawned. Bob arose and slipped on a bathrobe, he went into his mother's room. His mother was eating her breakfast and reading her morning mail. Bob greeted her and sat down on the side of the bed. His mother instantly saw that he was troubled. "Why, Bob dear, what's the trouble?" "Oh, mother, something terrible has happened and I must see it out!" Then he related all that had happened and he told why he must go to rescue the poor professor. His mother readily agreed to his plans. Bob returned to his room. At 10 o'clock, Ned, Alex, Bill and Jim came around to Bob's house. They brought with them the good news that their parents had readily agreed that they may take part in the hunt. Alex had brought along with him a guide book of Big Star Gap. The landscape showed deep forests and few cottages. Altogether the boys thought it was a lonesome, dull looking place according to the map. Bob sent Jenkins, the butler downtown after a list of camping articles. At 11:30, Bob and the boys were making ready to leave. Most of the town citizens were out to bid the boys farewell. About one o'clock, the boys arrived at Hotel Big Star, a mountain health resort. They left the auto there and prepared to go the rest of the way by foot. Bob carried the compass and cooking utensils; Jim carried tin plates and four hunting rifles; Ned carried the tent and water caneens; Bill carried the odds and ends like nails, rope, small hammers and canned goods, and Alex carried matches, clothing, camera and similar things. Thus the adventurers set forth. At 2 o'clock they had begun to encounter steep climbing. Bob led the troop as they all followed in real boy scout fashion. Stopping, Bob suddenly dropped to the ground, the others followed suit, wondering as they did so. Watching Bob, they saw him crawl forward on his stomach. Looking ahead they saw a ridge. Toward this Bob was wending his way. They saw him stop and raise his head and look over the ridge. Beckoning for the rest to come, Bob edged up a little closer to the ridge. At last after being scratched and torn by the briars they reached Bob's side. Bob whispered, "Look down in the gap and watch that shack closely." The boys obeyed. They looked down and saw a small shack with two horses tied to one of the posts. Bob turned to speak, and as he did so a hushed exclamation came from Ned. They followed his gaze. They saw two men come out of the cabin and mount their horses and ride in opposite directions. (To be concluded next week) were elected sheriff and tax collector. He took charge of these duties in January 1872. He was also appointed by the state board of education the county superintendent of the schools in Bolivar County. Physically, Mr. Bruce was a splendid type of the American Negro. He was of the average height, broad shouldered and erect. His entire personality harmonized with his repeated political achievements in the era of reconstruction in Mississippi; his career on the board of education as an executive officer and in the United States Senate at Washington helped to add to his popularity. BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT TO BE EXTENDED The National officers of the Boy Scouts of America have recently arranged for Stanley A. Harris of Chattanooga, Tenn., to give his entire time to extending work of the boy scouts among the colored boys of the country. Mr. Harris has been prominently associated with the Boy Scout movement since its organization. He served under the British Scout Association before the National Council Boy Scouts of America was organized. At present, according to Mr. Harris, there are 600 troops of Boy Scouts among Negro boys in this country, but with the exception of 18 they are all in the North. Believing in the value of this work, Hampton Institute has arranged for a course in Scoutmastership in the first term of the Summer School. The course will begin June 15 and end July 2.
