Three-Year Normal Course Approved. Married Women Problem To Be Studied. FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol VI, No. 45 Three - Ye Approved Problen The Board of Education in a special meeting in the Franklin School building last Wednesday afternoon approved a number of recommendations made by the United States Bureau of Education as a result of its survey of the normal schools of the District of Columbia. This action changes courses in the Wilson and Miner Normal Schools. "It is a very important step," Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of public schools, declared, "and looks to the improvement of the teaching service." Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, said that "it is one of the most progressive steps ever taken by the present administration in the matter of educating the youth of the District of Columbia." The most important action taken was the adoption of an order extending the normal school course to three years. The order provides that pupils entering either the Wilson or the Miner Normal school after July 1, next, shall be required to pursue a three-year course in preparation for teaching in kindergarten or in the grades of the elementary schools. The normal school course has been two years. This change will not affect pupils who have already been registered As a result of the lengthening of the course the number of students who will enter the normal schools next year is expected to be reduced. This will relieve congestion in the Miner Normal School. There are 465 pupils enrolled in the Miner Normal School. The Wilson Normal has an enrollment of only 243 puilts. The board decided that it is in (Continued on page 2) HUSBAND BUYS ONE HAT, THEN DESERTS; SUES Through Attorney Charles E. Robinson, Mrs. Florence Craney, 923 P street, northwest, filed suit last Wednesday for a limited divorce from Fred Craney, 1718 Fifth street, northwest. She charges cruelty and desertion. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Craney alleges that her husband frequently called her crazy in the presence of other persons. During the time they lived together, she says, he bought her one hat at the price of $1.98. When he deserted her on August 15, 1926, she states, he agreed to pay her room rent and doctor's bills but has failed to keep this promise and is two months in arrears in the payment of her rent. Strikes His Wife On one occasion when she asked him for money with which to buy food, she declares, he struck her. The couple were married in Alexandria, Va., November 29, 1925. Mr. Craney is an employee of the Government Printing Office and earns a salary of $140 a month, his wife states. He also owns real estate at 108 P street, northwest, for which she helped to pay, she says, he receives the rent of $60 a month. Mr. Craney asks the court to grant her temporary and permanent alimony and counsel fees. RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR MOORMAN AND KEYS Jostice Jennings Bailey last Wednesday appointed Charles S. Reid receiver of the Combined Dairy Lunch and Pool Room, 1819 Fourteenth street, northwest. The business is owned by Snowden Keys and William B. Moorman, but the two partners disagreed after Moorman purchased the property in which it is located and increased the rent. Keys through Attorney Milton Strasburger is suing to have the court decree that the property is held in trust for the partnership and to have Moorman directed to convey to him an undivided half interest in it. Moorman is defended by Attorneys Houston and Houston. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. Year ed. M em To NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK TO BE OBSERVED National Negro Health Week will be observed throughout the country from April 3 through April 10. The observance of the week is in accord with the resolutions of the National Negro Business League and in cooperation with the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference and other organizations who have extended an invitation to practically every colored organization as well as to the National and State Boards of Health to participate. This will be the thirteenth observance of National Negro Health Week, and it is expected that the interest and results will be greater than those of last year, which was very successful. Interesting literature has been printed for the occasion, and may be had by addressing The United States Public Health Service, Washington, D.C. RECREATIONAL SEGREGATION BEING FOUGHT A determined fight started this week at the War Department against the nation's extension of its segregation policy. It is the purpose of the Department to congregate all Negro recreational activities in the flats of Anacostia which the last session of Congress ordered improved without mention of color or group. W. D. Nixon of the Dunbar High School, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Haley O. Douglass, and Neval H. Thomas called at the War Department for conference and protest. Col. Ulysses S. Grant, 3rd, the grandson of the great warrior, and President of the United States who tolerated no discrimination in any branch of the public service, is in charge of all of the nation's buildings and grounds. Mr. Nixon was first speaker of the delegation, explaining the unrest among colored people on account of the determination of the governments to heap additional segregation upon colored people, and showing Col. Grant that there was nothing in congressional laws requiring his course. Mr. Nixon explained that the issue was not one of mere detail, but was an issue based on democratic principles which the colored people could never yield. M.s. Terrell then sanctioned all (Continued on page 2) NATIONALRACE CONGRESS MEETS HERE THIS MONTH Final arrangements have just been completed for the meeting of the National Race Congress, of which Dr. Dr. Jernagin is president, which opens in this city at the Mt.

LIBERIAN POST IS REFUSED BY JAMES CARTER James Garneth Carter of Georgia, has declined the appointment of minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia, the State Department announced Tuesday. He will continue in the consular service and will be transferred to Calais, France, as the United JAMES G. CARTER States consul. This is a promotion for him. The State Department expressed regret at his declination of the Liberian post. The reason given for the declination is that Mr. Carter did not desire to live any longer in the tropics. He has been living in the tropics for 20 years. Mr. Carter, it has been learned, was never particular about the Liberian appointment. Shortly after his nomination for the post was sent to the Senate by the President, the question of his status in the consular service was raised and he indicated to the State Department that unless he retained his consular status while serving as Liberian minister and would be returned to the consular service at the end of his diplomatic term, he would not accept the post. Objection Overcome This objection, however, was overcome. Under the law, it was found, he could be returned to the consular service inasmuch as his appointment was as minister resident and consul general. The question of salary was also raised. The Liberian ministership pays only $5,000 a year. This objection was also met by the State Department and it was believed that Mr. Carter would sail for Monrovia shortly after his return from a visit in the South. Instead the State Department announced his declination of the post and his transfer to Calais. Mr. Carter was nominated to be minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia on February 11. The Senate confirmed him on March 1. Has Served 20 Years Mr. Carter has been in the foreign service or 20 years. His first appointment was a consul at Sivas, a province in Turkey, September 6, 1906. He declined this post. He was appointed consul at Tamatave, November 1, 1906. He was made a consul of class 8 by act of Congress approved February 5, 1915. He was assigned to Tamanarive, Madagascar, July 8, 1916. He became a consul of class 6, June 4, 1920, and a foreign service officer of class 7, July 1, 1924. He is married and has a daughter. It is the first time State Department officials can recall that a consul has declined a ministership. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1927 NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK APRIL 10-10 DISEASE RELIEVE OSCAR WILLIAMS 33 INTERNES AT FREEDMEN'S TO GET SALARY OVER HEAD OF WARFIELD Through the strenuous efforts made during the past three months by the interne staff of Freedmen's Hospital, headed by Dr. Harry D. Harper, president of the interne body, the young doctors will receive pay for the rest of this year, beginning April 1. The lack of pay for the internes has been a point of contention for several years. Not until this year, however, was the matter carried so far as to get results. The internes communicated and conferred with Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior department, and with appropriations committee; and pointed out to them their justification for requesting pay. Government Employees Paid They stated that board, room and limited wash do not adequately meet the demands of a civilization as found in Washington among professional men; that Freedmen's is a government hospital, and all such hospitals pay their employees; and that all employees at Freedmen's except the internes receive some monetary compensation. Because of the worthiness of their efforts and their arguments, Dr. Work has stipulated the sum of $10.00 per month for the rest of this year, the check for which is now in the hands of the hospital officials. An attempt to get an appropriation equal to this, or similar in effect, for succeeding groups of internes will be made. It has been claimed that previous efforts on the part of internes to get pay has been balked by the officials at Freedmen's who either discouraged or failed to encourage such action. The lack of an appropriation for such renumeration has always been given as an excuse for its lacking. Practically all of this blame has been 1 at the door of Dr. William A. Warfield, head of the hospital. SCHOOL GETS $200.00 GIFT The Florida Avenue Baptist Church gave its two services Sunday for the National Training School for Women and Girls. Miss Burroughs spoke at the morning services, and the girls sang. At the evening services the Harry Burleigh singers gave a program composed of classics and spirituals. These singers are under the leadership of Miss Virgie Williams. More than $200 was collected during the day. DINNER GIVEN AT FRELINGHUYSEN A dinner was given at Freling-huysen University, Sixth and M streets, northwest, Thursday night, which lasted from 12 noon to 11 p.m. A committee from the Fresh THE SILVER LINING --- COURT DECLARES WILL IN WELLS CASE IS VALID Efforts of William ("Long Shot Red") Wells and his brother, Alphonso Wells, to share in the estate of their mother, Mrs. Victoria Wells, who died June 1, 1926, were defeated Monday when a jury in circuit court No. 1, Chief Justice McCoy presiding, returned a verdict holding her will valid. Under the conditions of the will the two brothers will receive only $10 each. The remainder of the estate will go to their sister, Mrs. Gertrude Wells Perry. She will get the family home at No. 35 P street, northeast, and personal property amounting to approximately $1,000. The debts against the estate as far as is known are only $290. The P street property has an assessed value of $1,937. Brothers Charge Fraud Brothers Charge Fraud The two brothers sought to have the will of their mother set aside. They claimed that the document filed by their sister was not the last will and testament of their mother. They also asserted that their mother was not capable of making a will on July 8, 1920, the date of the instrument. They charged that this will was obtained by fraud, coercion and undue influence exercised upon their mother by their sister and that it was not involuntarily executed. Questions based upon these allegations were submitted to the jury. The jury decided that the will of Mrs. Victoria Wells dated July 8, 1920, was valid, that Mrs. Wells was capable of executing a valid will at that time, that the execution of the will was not procured by fraud, coercion and undue influence, that it was freely and voluntarily executed, and was executed and attested in due form. This case has attracted considerable attention. Mrs. Perry and her brothers are well known. A charge of bigamy against Mrs. Perry was recently quashed by the district attorney in Baltimore, Md. The attempt to have her prosecuted on this charge, it was claimed, was a part of the fight to break the will of her mother and prevent her inheriting this property. Her former husband, Elmer Snowden, agreed to the dismissal of the charge. Mrs. Gertrude Wells Perry was represented by Attorneys H. R. Dulaney, Jr., and R. M.

Woman a Brutually By Poli Major Hesse Deplores A Held on Charge of L Comes Before Tri MAN CAUGHT OF Woman and Baby Brutually Beaten By Policeman Major Hesse Deplores Act and Orders Officer Held on Charge of Drunkenness. Case Comes Before Trial Board Saturday MAN CAUGHT OFFERING A BRIBE DISPUTE OVER PLAYGROUND CAUSES FIGHT By Sam Lacy Northeast citizens have expressed great indignation over the arrest last Monday evening of Miss Hattie C. Dandridge, of 18 L street, northeast, on a misrepresented charge of disorderly conduct, which came as a result of a near riot in the vicinity of Sixth and L streets. Miss Dandridge was arrested along with Marcellus Jones, 22, 1040 Sixt hstreet, northeast, when a number of colored and white residents clashed following a dispute between boys of the two races over the right of each to use a vacant lot on which a baseball game was in progress between colored boys. As far as can be learned a group of colored youths were playing baseball on a nearby plot of ground when two white youngsters, residing in the vicinity of Sixth and I streets brought a few friends over to the lot, and demanded that the Negro lads leave. The latter demonstrated, asserting that they were the first to arrive and that for that reason the other boys had no reason to interfer with their game. The white boys became persistent and the colored boys became indignant. The disturbance of each grew in proportions, and when parents of each side intervened, a real race clash threatened. A riot call was sent out and police reserves arrived in time to prevent trouble of a more serious nature. Witnessing Arrest According to a statement obtained by the Tribune reporter (Continued on page 2) MINISTERS SEEK NEGRO CLERKS IN STORES MINISTERS SEEK NEGRO CLERKS IN STORES The Interdenominational Ministers' Conference through its committee comprising of Dr. H. T. Medford, chairman; Dr. J. C. Olden and Dr. W. W. Mathews, will call upon the proprietors of Washington's several chain grocery stores and request the appointment of an adequate representation of Negro clerks in stores in this city. The above action was unanimously decided upon at the regular monthly meeting of "The Minister's Alliance" at John Wesley A.M. E. Zion Church, Monday of this week. Rev. Medford brought the matter to the attention of the Alliance and stated that in several sections of the city, sixty to eighty per cent of the patronage of the A. and P. Sanitary, Old Dutch, and Piggly Wiggly stores comes from colored people and that possibly with three exceptions, no members of the race are employed as clerks. He stated that such a request was entirely reasonable, and that a united front on the part of the ministers backed by the local race press would no doubt get results. The president, Dr. J. Milton Waldron, designated the above committee, and action will be taken within a few days. To Observe a Health Week Another feature of "The Ministers' Meeting" last Monday was the presence of Logan W. Horton of the Howard University Medical School, representing the local Chi Delta Mu fraternity. asking the cooperation of the ministers in the observance of "Health Week" to be fostered by the fraternity for the first week in May. President Waldron appointed a committee of five headed by Dr. W. A. Taylor, to lay plans with a similar committee from the fraternity. Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

Case al Board Saturday FFERING A BRIBE Trapped Offering Hike Lad Burchard, colored, an alleged go-between for C. E. Garry, a policeman on the Metropolitan force, was trapped in the home of Mrs. Josephine White, 1309 Linden Court, northeast, Thursday night by Headquarters Detective John Fowler and A. S. Finkett, local secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., in the act of attempting to bribe Mrs. White. It is alleged that policeman Garry, who faces the trial board Saturday, April 2, or some of his friends, sent Burchard to try to induce Mrs. White not to appear and press charges against him. Becoming suspicious, friends of Mrs. White notified the N.A.A.C.P. headquarters. Mr. Pinkett and Detective Fowler secreted themselves in the house and overheard the conversation between Burchard and Mrs. White. Just as he was in the act of passing money and offering a paper for her to sign, he was arrested. He was carried to No. 9 precinct station and locked up. Pending a further investigation by headquarters, the exact charges that Burchard would be arraigned on could not be learned. However, his evidence is expected to figure prominently in Garry's trial before the trial board. MAJOR HESS DEPLORES POLICEMAN'S CONDUCT In an interview with a Tribune reporter this week, Major Edwin B. Hess of the Metropolitan Police Department stated that he greatly deplored the conduct of officer Garry. He personally visited the scene of the disorder and made his own investigation. "As long as I am major, I will insist on all citizens being treated alike, and I will not stand for any of that 'rough stuff' and do my best to see that those guilty of such conduct will be properly punished," he said. Policeman C. E. Garry of the 9th precinct, ran riot last Tuesday afternoon in Linden Court, northeast, and before he was subdued and placed under arrest for being drunk and disorderly, he had dragged Mrs. Josephine White, of 1309 Linen Court, and her 15-month-old baby into the street and beat Mrs. White. Garry, dressed in khaki pants, a lumber jacket, and a gray cap, obviously very drunk and with no outside evidence of being an officer of the law, broke down the door of Mrs. White's home and went on a rampage of cursing, fighting and general disorder, according to eye-witnesses. After being dragged into the streets by the officer Mrs. White escaped from his clutches and ran into H street where she fell. Later she was taken to Casualty Hospital where her wounds were dressed. A short time later, three other policemen, all in civilian clothes and apparently comrades of Garry, came into the court and proceeded anew to terrorize the citizens living in the street. In their wild orgy they broke open people's doors, intimidated them and in genera created a disturbance. Fearing more serious trouble neighbors telephoned to police headquarters, but the wild ram page of Garry and his comrade was not ended until a sergean from the 9th precinct succeeded in placing Garry under arrest and ledged him in a cell, charged with being drunk and disorderly. How ever, the other members of his gang were not arrested. Mrs. White, the woman attacked, is of small build, of quiet, unassuming manner and bears an excellent reputation for peace and good order. Neighbors told a Tribune reporter that she is a model character and has lived at this address for three years. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has investigated the matter and will follow it through. Charges have been filed against Garry. He was suspended pending the outcome of his trial before the Police Trial Board which will hear the case Saturday morning, April 2. TWO RECREATIONAL SEGREGATION BEING FOUGHT (Continued from page 1) that Mr. Nixon had said, elaborating upon the injury, insult, and discouragement that segregation worked against colored citizens, and then made an appeal in the name of his illustrious grandfather whose memory is dear to the race. "Col. Grant," she said feelingly, "I know you well and feel near to you. I am the widow of Judge Terrell whose father, Harrison Terrell served President Grant through years, and was with him even to the very moment of his death; hence I know most intimately the noble spirit of fairness that moves your great family. Of course you were but a little boy then, but we know that you revere the tradition you inherit, and won't yield to the prejudices, often imaginary, of a portion of the population." Haley Douglass told of his long fight with Col. Sherrill and Col. Hart, the predecessors of Col. Grant, for the right to tennis courts, and golf links upon the great American driveway, which is filled with these facilities for white people. He made an able and emphatic protest against the War Department, attitude on these matters. Exposes Schemes Mr. Thomas then exposed the schemes of the government to deny the colored people their rights there, by inventing the system of regional swimming pools placed in various parts of the city. He told Col. Grant that he had read his testimony before Congress from which, he secured two pools, one white and one colored, placing neither on the driveway, and then declaring his intention of asking Congress for seven more next year. After some persistence, Col. Grant admitted that it is his intention to place one of those seven on the driveway next year for white people. He admitted his intention of placing the colored pool in one of the Negro neighborhoods less congested than some others, and asserted that it would be near the driveway. Mr. Thomas then told him frankly that it was but the scheme to achieve what the various departments of the government have been seeking for years, the exclusion of the Negro from the National park system. Protest to Weeks Mrs. Terrell and Mr. Nixon told him of their protest to Secretary of War Weeks years ago against any and all segregation of recreational facilities; that their protests was the voice of the Negro, but since segregation had been forced upon them it left them another segregation issue, that of exclusion from government reservations. The whole delegation agreed to this stand, as all had fought against separation of any kind, and made it plain that it was vicious, and unnecessary. The case will go to the Secretary of War, to Congress, and to the President of the United States, where it has been carried many times before. THREE-YEAR NORMAL COURSE IS APPROVED (Continued from page 1) advisable at this time to limit the admission of pupils to the normal schools in September, 1927. This decision was based upon the expected reduction in the number of students who will enter the normal school as a result of the lengthening of the course and also upon the probability that the disappointment of a large number of graduates will check enrollment in the normal schools. Only a few of the June graduates will receive appointments, Superintendent Ballou indicated. The Bureau of Education recommended that only those students ranking in the upper half of their class for at least the last two years of high school should be admitted to the normal schools without examination. No Changes Made The board refused to make any differences in the courses in home economics in the Wilson and the Miner Normal schools. The Bureau of Education recommended that a course in home economics extending through one year should be given at the Wilson Normal as part of the regular normal school work and that the two-year home economics course in the Miner Normal should be extended to three years. The board went on record as favoring "a course in home economics so organized and conducted as to acquaint the students with the sources, values and cost of food, clothing and shelter materials, and as a background for the proper presentation of instruction in industrial arts in the elementary schools" for all pupils in the normal school as a part of their general preparation for teaching Scope of Program The scope of the program of the normal schools was continued for the present to the preparation of teachers for the kindergarten and elementary schools. The approval of this recommendation of the Bureau of Education means that at present the normal schools shall not undertake to prepare teachers for junior high, senior high or vocational schools. The board would not make a master's degree an eligibility requirement of normal school teachers. It adopted a resolution providing that candidates for teaching positions in the normal schools should possess "broad academic scholarship in the field in which they teach, and adequate professional scholarship, together with a high quality of demonstrated teaching ability." New Appointees The Bureau of Education recommended that all new appointees to academic teaching positions in the normal schools should be required to have the master's degree and two or more years of teaching experience. It also recommended that practice teachers both in the practice school and in the regular school system should be required to have special training for their work as practice teachers. The board would not commit itself to a policy of appointing a certain proportion of supervisors and principals hereafter needed from outside the District of Columbia in order to mitigate the evil effects of "inbreeding." A recommendation that this be done was made by the Bureau of Education. The board, however, adopted a resolution endorsing a continuation of "the policy heretofore prevailing of appointing the best qualified persons available for teaching or supervisory positions in the Washington schools, preference being given to persons already in the school service, in the case of equal qualifications." Teacher Training By order of the board the course of study in the normal schools after July 1 next shall be so organized as to cover the teacher training for kindergarten and the first two grades as a unit. This order is in accord with a recommendation of the Bureau of Education. The question of whether there is to be an eligible list for kindergarten and the first two grades and a separate list for appointments to the other elementary grades was not decided. The board also adopted a resolution in keeping with a recommendation of the Bureau of Education that "it is the sense of the board that the closest cooperation should be maintained between the principal and the faculty of the normal school on the one hand, and the supervisors of instruction, the principals of schools, and class-room teachers through the system on the other, to the end that the graduates of the normal school may be prepared when appointed to take up their work as teachers with the minimum of necessary adjustment." Physical Training Another resolution adopted provided that "the physical training course in the normal schools should be sufficiently broad and intensive to encourage proper health habits in the normal schools students during their course of training, to provide prospective teachers on graduation from the normal school with preparation in subject matter and methods of teaching as will qualify them to teach health habits and physical training to children in kindergarten and elementary grades and to enable prospective teachers to develop in their pupils the proper attitude towards ideals of physical development." Extension Courses Superintendent Ballou was directed to investigate and report to the board on the possibility of providing extension courses in the normal schools for the training of practice teachers and for the improvement of teachers in service. He was also directed to investigate and report to the board on the question of the desirability or necessity for the assignment of a teacher in each normal school to the supervision of practice teaching. The board declared itself in favor of teacher training facilities being available for all graduates of the local high schools, who are residents of the District of Columbia, provided they meet the admission requirements and are able to pursue successfully the prescribed Stage Favorite Praises Exelento Alltter Harris says Excelento is great!

Dispute Over Playground Causes Fight Dispute Over Playground Causes Fight (Continued from page 1) from Miss Dandridge, she was called from the rear of her home by a niece, who was studying lessons in the parlor of the L street residence, for the purpose of being shown the large crowd at the corner. Just as the police wagon arrived she and her niece went out to witness the affair where she was joined by a Mrs. Tucker, a neighbor living at 601 L street. Standing in front of her home close to the fence and merely conversing among themselves, Miss Dandridge told the Tribune reporter, she said to her friend, "It seems strange they should arrest one colored man and none of the whites." (The police had placed a colored man by the name of Jones in the wagon just prior to her reaching the corner.) Officer Abusive A little later a policeman came over to where the onlookers were standing and, according to Miss Dandridge, told them in abusive language, to move on. They moved, said the lady, and had gotten fully twenty-five or thirty feet from the corner when Officers Crawley, attached to precinct number nine, overtook them and took hold of Miss Dandridge's arm. "Come with me," he is alleged to have said, "it is your kind that starts trouble around here." Despite the fact that Miss Dandridge told the policeman that she had nothing whatever to do with the affair, Crawley ably assisted by another policeman, pushed her into the wagon where, according to Miss Dandridge she suffered much humiliation for the next ten of fifteen minutes. Case Dismissed Her case was tried Monday afternoon at Police Court after a request by Officer Crawley for continuance was refused, and following testimonies of several neighbors and witnesses the case was dismissed. Miss Dandridge is a highly respected citizen of the northeast courses of study. Under this resolution students who are unable to do their work successfully will be dismissed from the normal schools. The board also declared itself in favor of reconditioning the libraries of the two normal schools so that they will contain up-to-date books and periodicals in sufficient numbers to constitute suitable professional libraries. Married Women Discussed The questions of admitting married women as students in the normal schools and appointing married women as teachers in the public schools was referred to the superintendent for investigation and report to the board for future action. The question of limiting the eligibility of high school graduates for admission to the normal schools to a certain number of years after graduation was also referred to the superintendent. The barring of married women from appointments as teachers will require congressional legislation. Superintendent Ballou explained. He said that a girl who marries while a student in the normal school or after graduation and becomes No. 1 on the eligible list under the law, must be appointed.

Cordial greetings were delivered from Chi Delta Mu and Alpha Phi Alpha by undergraduate representatives, and brief addresses on various phases of fraternity life were delivered by Dr. C. H.

"I would start to do my housework and I would give out before I had done anything at all. I did not have any strength, and if I did the least thing it seemed to tax me so I could not finish. I was run-down sure enough. "Several of my friends had taken Cardui and they said to me, 'Why don't you try it?' I knew I needed something to build up my general health and to increase my strength. "Finally one day when I was recovering from a spell of sickness, I decided to try Cardui. I got a bottle and began to take it. I could notice that I was improving as my appetite got better and I did not give out nearly so quick. I took several bottles and I felt lots better. "Two years ago I decided to take it again. It built me up and made me feel like a different person." Cardui has been in use for nearly 50 years.

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

H. Dudley, Sr. A. E. S. H. DUDLEY Sportsman and Business Man Well, the season is open and we have to get that winter feed bill back or there is going to be horses changing their boarding places. Manley, my trainer, said to me the other day while working one of our horses, "That bugger sho' can run." I said, "I know, Tod, but he is not running to suit me yet." Tod (as we all call him) said, "Mr. Dudley, you are one hard man to please. What do you want a horse to do?" I answered by saying, "I want him to run fast and faster, far and farther, when I have my bucks down." Patsy, the jockey, is going to make good. He likes the horses. PETER J. HARRIS C.

Butler William O. Walker, managing editor of The Washington Tribune, addressed the Political Study Club last Sunday afternoon on "The Trend of the Negro in Politics." The club met at the residence of Mrs. Lomax of 1922 Fifteenth street, northwest. Mr. Walker declared that the ballot was the race's only hope for relief from economic oppression and urged all women to enter politics, where, if she holds true to her ideals, she will cleanse politics and greatly assist in raising the starmard of Negro leadership. "The ballot offers the Negro his greatest weapon in his battle for economic freedom in America," declared Mr. Walker. Continuing he said, "Unfortunately he has not used it wisely. Because of this fact the race is finding that its political strength is getting weaker and weaker. At no time since emancipation has the Negro welded such small influence in politics as he does today. Grant's Administration "During General Grant's administration, the Negro reached his zenith as a political power. From office holding of all kinds under Grant, the race can point only to a few small jobs more or less of an inconsequential nature under President Coolidge. Although the Republican party in the South for years has been largely composed of Negroes, the race has been given only one federal job in that section and got that only after a hard fight. 'All groups use the ballot to further their own interests except the Negro. We should learn a lesson from the Woman's Party or the Labor Party. These two groups have kept their identity intact, but at the same time has gotten the support of men of various political belief. The Negro alone puts all his eggs in one political basket. Negroes Forsaking G. O. P. "The unmistakable trend of the Negro in politics is away from the Republican party. For the first time in the history of the race, the Negro split his ticket in the national election of 1924. During this campaign prominent Negroes were found in the Davis camp as well as the LaFollette camp. There is a great restlessness among the race and the young Negro apparently will not be swayed by sentiment but will demand the same recognition and influence for his vote as other groups." A summary of the School of Politics conducted by the League of Republican Women which was held at the Willard Hotel last week was made by one of the members of the Political Study Club. ed chairman of the cabinet, and among the other members already named are A.

Her team the National Benefit Girls Five will play the Howard University Freshman Girls. Early in January, the Washington Tribune sports department opened a campaign whereby it was determined to find the city's favorite basketball player. This contest grew in proportions each week until at the close, March 11, the winner "Jeanie" Downing, had been given, 1008 votes by her admirers. Tim Braddick, Carlisle guard and captain was second, while third place was garnered by the Alco captain, Soup Turner. First prize is a gold basketball, second and third prizes are medals. REFEREE ROBS BABY JOE GANS OF DECISION LOS ANGELES, Cal., (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Baby Joe Gans, colored lightweight champion, lost his first decision of 1927 Tuesday night, when after boxing Tommy O'Brien ten torrid rounds at the Olympic, referee Gilmore either guessed or intentionally wrongly raised O'Brien's glove as the victor. In spite of the many clinches the battle was a hard fought one with each boxer putting all the power he possessed behid his punches. Gans as usual put up a clean gentlemanly battle but the same cannot be said of O'Brien. With little or no attention being paid by the referee to his foul tactics, O'Brien when he could hold and hit at the same time and in the sixth round fouled Gans with a left to the groin. Gans in spite of the evident pain recuperated enough before the round was over to punch O'Brien around the ring with body punches and upper-cuts. Other than a slapping, but hard swung right to the kidneys, O'Brien was scarcely able to lay a glove on the clever Baby Gans and the kidney punch that O'Brien used is supposed with the rabbit punch to be prohibited. Gans Took 5 of First 6 Points With clean punches that included left hooks, snappy rights to the head and body and pile driving uppercuts, Gans took five of the first six rounds and the tenth was his by a wide margin, O'Brien being almost 'out on his feet. The referee's decision was not unexpected as a colored boxer must knock out a white boxer to win now days. Gans came 'in at the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, while O'Brien weighed 136½. The Olympic with a capacity of over ten thousand was nearly filled. PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTORS ORGANIZED The instructors in the field of Physical Education met and organized into a body last Thursday in the Conference Room of the new gymnasium. This was the second meeting of this group, and the committee consisting of Miss Clayda Williams, Mrs. Marshall, and Newton Miller, which was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws made its report. This report was voted upon favorably. The body adopted as its name "The Physical Education Association of the Middle Atlantic Region." It is expected that this organization will become allied with the American Physical Education Association. Officers Elected The officers were elected as follows, president, John H. Burr; vice-president, Miss T. Connolly; secretary-treasurer, Dr. E. B. Henderson; corresponding secretary, L. L. Watson; the executive committee consists of the officers named and the members Miss Clayda Williams, Newton Miller, and Mrs Harriet Marshall. The association will meet four times a year. Speaking and round table discussions will feature the meetings and a social hour of games and activities will be enjoyed. At the April meeting educators interested in physical education will be invited. Dr. Mordecal Johnson and Mr. Wilkinson will be asked to give talks. The following papers will be discussed: "Scope, Aims, and Methods in Physical Education Today," by Mr. John H. Burr; "The Problems in Physical Education," by Miss Clayda Williams; "The Possibilities of Research in the Field of Physical Education," by Dr. E. B. Henderson. THE SPORT REVIEW HOWARD NINE IN FIRST GAMES OF SEASON Coach Johnny Burr will trot his Howard University baseball team out on the new athletic field, Friday, at 3:30 o'clock, and Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock for its opening games of the season with the Storer College of Harpers Ferry, W. Va., offering the opposition. Prudhomme, varstiy pitcher and letter man of last year, is certain to start the first game. The elongated youngster has shown up well in practice and if pre-season form is an indication, should have the Storer College batters "eating out of his hand." Captain Neiji Monroe and Johnnie Codwell, for three years the pride of Howard supporters, begin their last season as representatives of the Bison nine as both are members of the senior class and graduate in June. Coach Burr is very optimistic over the team's prospects. First base, a position left vacant by the departure of Simpson, is being hotly contested for by Jack Coles, Ted Hunter, and Dewey Lomax (last year's varsity catcher), but who plays a nifty game at the initial sack. Up to date the latter has the preference over his ambitious rivals. Les Braden, letter man from last year, and Slim Mass, reputed star from Union, are staging a merry fight for the third base honors, with honors so far about even. What the Storer Collegians will do is hard to tell, but they are expected to offer sterling opposition; being urged on by the fact that they upset the dope last spring, administering to the Bison nine their only defeat of last year. DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE PREPARES FOR SEASON The Colored Departmental Baseball League has organized for the coming season. The following teams have announced intentions of entering this year's competition: Government Printing Office, Treasury, Veterans' Bureau, and Post Office. The State Department nine was recently granted a franchise and there is now a vacancy in the league roster. Any department desiring a franchise, is requested to notify President William H. Davis, 409 Elm street, northwest, on or before Tuesday, April 5. The officers for the 1927 season are: president, William H. Davis; vice-president, A. Coles; secretary, William Ellis; treasurer, J. E. Wauls. LEDROIT TIGERS PRACTICE Beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday the LeDroit Tigers, District Baseball Titleholders, will hold weekly practice under the direction of Captain Burrell Kenner. A host of recruits are already on the Tiger training roster and Sunday even more are expected by the champions' management. An entertainment in honor of the team will be held soon which will get the season started for the LeDroits. The Union Baseball League is preparing to begin its season. On Sunday, May 1, Washington's leading semi-professional nines will swing into a league campaign that will take them up to October. For the past two seasons the Le Droit Tigers have garnered the title, winning out last year over a strong loop of teams in which the Washington Black Sox were the Myrtle, A. C., Oriental Tigers, and most dangerous. So far the Washington Giants, LeDroits have registered. Other clubs desiring franchises are urged to be represented at the league meeting Sunday, April 3, at the residence of the president, R. H. Jones, 115 Four and-a-half street, southwest, beginning at 2 o'clock. Y, W, C, A, GIRLS WIN FROM FIRST YEAR COEDS The Y.W.C.A. Girls defeated the recently organized Howard University Freshmen Girls' Five last Friday evening 27-17 in the Howard gymnasium. The game was well played being decided the way it was only because of the superior experience of the Y girls. The first year co-eds showed a fast type of basketball despite the fact that they were handicapped by the lack of training that their opponents have had. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR What strange coincidence could it have been that induced the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association and the American Collegiate Athletic Association authorities to stage their respective championship track meets on the same day? May 14, for some reason or other seems to be the popular choice for track meet dates. Whether these date designations were made to conflict intentionally or not, cannot be determined, but surely both meets will suffer. 'Tis indeed a funny coincidence—if such is the case—that, actuated without cut-throat motives, neither the C. I. A. A. nor the A. C. A. A. officials went to the proper authorities to ascertain which Saturday in May the "other fellow" had selected or would prefer to select. No definite Saturday has been put to use by either of these bodies in the past, hence neither—so far as this column can see—had the right to assume that the other's affair would be on any other certain date. In 1923, May 12 and 19, were used by Howard and Hampton respectively, while May 2 and 16 were used by the Bison and Seaside authorities in 1925. The 1926 records show that the local meet was on May 8 and the C. I. A. A. affair was one week later, May 15. According to this, then, no definite first, second or third Saturdays has been designated by either the Howard or Hampton authorities for holding of their annual meets, and for that reason it could have been just as easy for either to learn the other's intention before deciding upon a day as not. Just as the basketball season in Washington is drawing to a close, the long used and worn practice of ticket scalping has burst forth. More than a hundred "bogus" tickets were presented at the door of the Lincoln Colonnade last Saturday when the crowds started pouring in to witness the first game of the Alpha-Omega series. It is alleged that the scheme, whereby personal gain was sought, was perpetrated by four persons, two are members of the Alpha quintet, one a popular member of the Alpha fraternity, and the other an official of the team. The latter is not a member of the fraternity. The tickets were sold by these men in an effort to fill their own pockets, in spite of the fact that to do so meant robbing the coffers of their own fraternity as well as that of their rivals. It is to be lamented that such a thing should occur at the close of a season which gave every promise of being the cleanest and most prosperous in the annals of Washington basketball. Lucky it is, however, that the sport is able to live in spite of such misdeeds; and lucky, as well, that a fraternity can exist in spite of such men on its roaster. THE TRIBUNE'S READERS SELECT THEIR OWN ALLSTAR TEAMS Two All-city teams have been picked. We have a pair of quints above which could hold their own against the best. Most of you who were kind enough to cooperate and send in your opinions voted for the above named players to place. "Slim" Henderson, Carlisle center and "Jim" Lee, Community guard were unanimous choices at their respective positions for the first team. "Soup" Turner was also a city-wide selection, but owing to his being named as a guard, theAlco captain's votes were split. Most of the ballots named him for a forward position and for that reason he and his teammate Suter received the forward assignments. "Mike" Jones received the same number of votes for each team. As many persons would have him on their first as others would place him second, and since this number exceeds, by one vote, "Zig" John- TWENTY-FOURTH U. S. INFANTRY FINISHES 5th IN NATIONAL SHOP PORTLAND, Ore., (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—In the regimental small bore championship sponsored by the Seventh Infantry stationed at Portland, in which all regular infantry regiments in the United States army participated, the 24th U. S. Infantry, colored, stationed at Fort Benning, near Columbus, Ga., placed fifth in standing out of 19 teams reported with a score of 3669. This is an excellent showing as small bore shooting is something new at Fort Banning. The Seventh Infantry placed first with a score of 3747 while the 25th Infantry, colored, stationed at Fort Stephen D. Little near Nogales, Ariz., placed seventeenth with a score of 3300. Other regiments failed to turn in scores. TALLDEGA TO OPEN WITH ALABAMA STATE Talladega College will-open her baseball season Friday with a two-game series with the Alabama State Hornets on Silsby Field. The Talladega squad has worked hard during the last ten days and a team has been shaped in which veterans and new-comers are well mixed. Booking Now Open WonderlandPark BALTIMORE, MD.

MORRIS BROWN WINS FOUR STRAIGHTS ATLANTA, Ga., Mar. 26.—The Whirlwinds of Morris Brown made it four straight today when they out-hit the champions of South Carolina to win by a 11-3 score. The game was a comedy and the fun was equal when both teams errored ten times. Ted Sanders, big first baseman, smashed out hits and played his regular great game on first. Austin, the first pitcher to go the full route for the Whirlwinds, let the visitors down with five hits, but received poor support from his team mates. Savage's home run was a feature of the game.

TUESDAY—Vera Reynolds, Ward Crane, Ethel Clayton in "RISKY BUSINESS." WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY—Leatrice Joy in "FOR ALIMONY ONLY." FRIDAY & SATURDAY—Mae Murray in "VALEN- CIA." DELTA FIVE WINS FROM LIGHTNING Omega gained the decision in her 2-round bout with Alpha last Saturday afternoon before a mixed crowd of some 150 co-eds and twice as many males at the Lincoln Colonnade. The first round was a draw, the antagonists landing blow for blow. The score was 15-14. The game was characterized more by tactics of the fall sport than basketball. Falling on the ball took the place of dribbling and "taking out" had its part in the battle. In one case a player was tackled—whether intentionally or not. After three minutes of everything, Bundrant, Alpha guard, obtained possession of the ball, dribbled down the sideline with Kay Trigg as his interference and when Cobb attempted to smear the play a short forward pass over the Omega's head to Kay Trigg gave the Gold and Black a goal. This score was matched a moment later however, when Cobb intercepted an Alpha lateral pass, side-stepped Kay Trigg and chalked up the tying counter. Foul Fouling Three minutes more of maltreating each other and Washington, Alpha captain looped a neat overhead short from in among the Alpha Phi Alpha rooters. Immediately following this basket the players turned to pugilism. Washington fouled Cobb, Carter fouled Carpenter, Trigg fouled Carter and the Omega guard was taken off; Goff fouled Carpenter; Campbell fouled Bundrant, and Lee fouled Carpenter. All these free throws were missed with the exception of the last. Carpenter made the second of his two chances when Lee fouled him while he was in the act of shooting for the basket. Louie Coates got his first score of the afternoon with a shot from past midcourt. A double foul called on Carpenter and Lee resulted in a 6 to 4 lead for Alpha when the former caged his try and the latter missed. Coates took a pass from Goff, just before Campbell and Lee took turns fouling Bundrant, dribbed in, drew Kay Trigg, and caged a beautiful fall-away shot for the final count of the half. Alpha 6, Omega 6. Plenty of rough work carried the teams through 19 minutes of the second half to a score of 14 all. Free Try Decides Archie Berry who had been sent in for C. Johnson was responsible for the Omega victory when Washington fouled him and he made good his free try. As soon as the ball went through the cords the whistle sounded to notify the referee that Washington had committed his fourth foul which disqualified him. The crowd ran out on the playing court madly yelling and dancing. Five minutes later the officials were able to clear the floor and resume pay of, which 30 seconds remained. C. Johnson fouled Bundrant and that worthy had the chance to tie the score and force the game into extra minutes as the whistle blew before the ball felt his hands. Up went the sphere slowly with scarcely a spin, struck the back of the rim with a sound that could be heard in every nook of the breath-quiet Colannade, bounced slowly into the air fell on the left side, turned lazily over and—he failed.

FRESHMAN--MANASSAS The Howard University Freshman nine will meet the Manassas Industrial School baseball team in the opening game of the scholastic season Wednesday afternoon, April 6th. TECH FRESHMEN DEFEAT FACULTY TECH FRESHMEN DEFEAT FACULTY "The Old Boys" tried to stage a come-back, but failed last Thursday afternoon in the Armstrong gym when the Tech faculty members went down before the 1A Freshman five 26-22. Enlarged corns, stiff joints, sore muscles, and a good night's sleep were the extent of the teacher's accomplishments. Lanky Westmoreland, Pee Wee Miller, and Specks Maury supplied the basketball, wile Hretch Ferguson, Stuffy Lee, and Pappy Hunter played a big part in making the affair a "comedy of errors." Speed-boy Washington also appeared in the salaried team's line-up, but due to a siege of "charleyhorse" the veteran guard was unable to play and length of time. Westmoreland Cages 7 Westmoreland with 7 field goals and a foul led the evening's scoring while Graham Brown was the best scorer for the winner. His 5 goals greatly aided his quint's cause. Ernest Amos, official timer for all faculty engagements, started on the stop watch, but due to a slight oversight on his part the first quarter went 5 minutes overtime. The close of the first 15 minutes marked the close of Mr. Amos' term as timekeeper. He was immediately removed by his colleagues for "conduct unbecoming a gentleman" in letting them struggle 5 minutes after all their wind had been utilized. Stretch Ferguson and Stuffy-Lee used all the holds of wrestling, all the tricks of boxing and all the tactics of the gridiron, but other than these and few misplaced jui-itus, the game was clean.

WASHINGTON MAY GET EASTERN LEAGUE GAMES PHILADELPHIA, March 25—The commissioners of the Eastern Colored League held a meeting at the Christian Street Y.M.C.A. building yesterday in preparation for the fifth season that the league has been in the field. Aside from President Isaac Nutter the following clubs were represented: Lincoln Giants, C. W. Strothers; Black Sox, Baltimore, George W. Rossiter; Bacharach Giants, Atlantic City, Hammond Daniels; Cuban Stars, Havana, Alexandro Pompez; and Hilldale Club, Philadelphia, Ed. Bolden. Split Schedule The league will play a split schedule of 120 games beginning Saturday, April 30. Several neutral parks have been secured for league games and representatives from Mt. Holly, N.J., and Richmond and Norfolk, Va., were on hand to close deals for their respective parks. Edward Hulling and Allen S. Hatcher, officers of the Royle and Pikington Athletic Association, sponsored the Mt. Holly interest and Babe Morris of Richmond, who also has the Norfolk park in tow, represented the Dixie territory. Cubans Stars Have Park The Cuban Stars who formerly have been a traveling club without a home park have made arrangements to stage games at Newark, N.J. These games will be played at David's Stadium, the home park of the Newark International League team, during the time that the Bears are on the road. Games in Washington Manager Ben Taylor, of the Baltimore Black Sox, is also making an attempt to obtain the American League Baseball Park here for Saturday games. It is the desire of the former Potomac boss to offer attractions at Griffith Stadium for half day Saturday crowds when the Senators are not at home. In the event that arrangements are completed, the popularity of baseball in the District should increase. TAYLOR, NEGRO LAD, BEST ATHLETE AT TUETS ATHLETIC AT TUFTS Claude (Randy) Taylor, senior at Tufts College, has been voted the best all around athlete in the senior class. Taylor has set up a record at the Medford College in football and track. He has also played basketball and holds the N. E. A. A. U. 40-yard sprint championship. "Randy" is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. This dance promises to be the gala event of the season and as a special attraction all the stars of the "Heebie Jeebies" will attend. Music will be furnished by three bands, Howard Theatre Peerless Band, Lincoln Theater Orchestra, and Eddie Haywood's Okeh Record Star Orchestra.

A big midnight show will take place Friday night. ‘The screen play on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, offers George Walsh in “The Kick-off.” The story deals with football and Jove, and is full of thrills and se tion. + On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, “Sensation Seekers,’ featuring Billie Dove and Huntly Gordon, will be shown. It is the story of a girl who sought sensa- tions everywhere, yet had no il- lusions, hated sham, hated hypo- cracy, laughed at conventions. And though she thought all ‘love was lost, found it at last in the man she had ridiculed. It is a Univer- sal Jewel Picture.

It is strange what universal in- terest -attaches itself to all mat- ters in which the question of sex is involved. Even those who de- Precate sexual impropriety and license devour. with the greatest avidity all stories concerned with the relation of the sexes, especial- ly if the persons about whom the Stories are circulated happen to en- doy. some sort of prominence. It seems, however, that this has always been the case, from the be- ginning of recorded history to the Present day. It is not peculiar to any race or nation. Only a few ‘weeks ago a.book- appeared in Eng- Jand which professed to reveal certain episodes of the late William E. Gladstone's private life, and it had an immense sale. “About the Same time there appeared in this country a book. entitled “Reyelry” which narrated in the form of fic- tion some of the scandals of a na- tional administration, and it had nd is having an immense sale. Where the publication of mat- ters.of this kind is designed to cor- Teet public evil and to maintain stable moral and ethical standards, it is entirely justifiable. Nothing short, of penal servitude is such a deterrent to wrong doing as public- ity. It clears the atmosphere. It puts the fear of God in the hearts of many a would-be wrong doer Who otherwise would go his un- Hicensed way without restraint or fear of consequences. Publicity is beyond all question a reat regulator of public morals, WHERE ARE DAVIS AND HOWARD? It seems to be a difficult matter for the President to determine ‘where he will spend his summer vacation. That it will be some- where in the West seems to be fair- ‘ly well settled. But the trouble consists in selecting the particular place or locality. ‘The general impression seems to be that, in some way, not altogeth- er clear, the selection of a proper place will not only afford the Presi- dent needed rest and recreation, but will have a favorable effect in Producing in the minds of the dis- satisfied and insurgent West a dis- Position to see things as the Presi- dent sees them. ‘Those who set forth this view do not explain in detail how the physi- eal presence of one man can change the understanding and con- victions of intelligent people such ‘Bs those of the West are said to be; but the practical politician is also @ master psychologist, or rather is Supposed to he, and no doubt he thinks he knows how the thing is Brought about. As a pre-vacation experience it hhas been suggested that the Presi- dent go South. In this connection we have seen no manifestation of interest on thc part of National Committeemen B. J. Davis, of Georgia, and P. W. Howard, of Mississippi. Why is this? If men’s minds can be changed by the physical presence of the President, there is no section of the country where such a change i: needed so much as in the South The South has been thinking th same things as regards partisar Politics for more than three-quar ters of a century. It would seen that the time cught to be ripe for : change. Are not Messrs. Davis and How ard neglecting a rare opportunit; to put Georgia and Mississippi in the doubtful column in the presi dential election of 1928? Or, i: it that their part is to be playe: before and at the nominating con Yention, and not at the election’ We profess no special knowledge a: to any of these matters, and only refer to them because they are per. tinent to the only present topic of domestic political interest. THE HAITIAN SITUATION The outlook for the relinquish- ment of American control of af- fairs in the Republic of Haiti is not encouraging. On the contrary, all the information that comes out of [tee irene Ry tee nerons direction and control is likely to be | indefinite, if it doe. not gradually | develop into permanent occupation, | and, ultimate annexation. | There is the flexible and elastic | Monroe Doctrine; there is the sit- | uation of Haiti to the west of which | is Cuba, connected with the United | States by treaty and constitutional guaranties, and to the east of which /are Porto Rico and the Virgin Is- ands, already annexed, Then [there is the general unsettled con- ‘dition of affairs in Central Ameri- ‘ca, especially in Nicaragua and “Mexico. All of these matters are ‘easily classified under the obliga- tion which the United States as- ‘sume’ by reason of the Monroe Doctrine. | ‘More recently, as presenting the ‘whole situation in a dramatized ‘form is the exclusion of Senator King from the “Black Republic” as being an undesirable visitor whose = was likely to result in in- ‘ternal disorder. “The Nation” of March 16 pub- | lished an artiele, contributed by Mr. Rayford W. Logan, entitled “The Haze in Haiti,” wherein certain features of American control were ‘described and eriticized. ‘The Na- ‘tion states that before publication ‘it submitted the article to Major ‘General John A. Lejeune, Com: mandant of the United States Ma- rine Corps, and to Major General John A. Russell, United States High Commissioner to Haiti, both of whom contented themselves with unfavorable charaeterization of the article, without any attempt to an- swer formally and in detail any of its serious allegations. Following the publication of Mr. Logan’s article, the State Depart- ment has given out parts of the annual report of General Russell, High Commissioner to Haiti, in which is, set forth what is consid- ered to be the strong points in. fa- vor of American control, It also contains, as was to be expected, Praise of President Borno, who is in full accord with American aims and methods. But the significant thing about the report is the attack on the judicial system of Haiti. General Russell says: “The courts are, if such could be pos- sible, less effective than ever, .. . The foreigner is indeed bold who dares to take his case to court, Most cases between foreigners and Haitians are consequently settled out of court, nearly always to the disadvantage of the foreigner. Trials by jury are farcical.” These statements are ominour, and their publication at this time, taken in connection with the gen- eral situation and trend of affairs in Latin-America seem to be with a view to prepare the public mind to accept further encroachment up- on the rights of the Haitians, eith- er in the way of depriving them entirely of control over their ju- diciary, or of setting up interna- tional courts to try disputes to which a foreigner may be a party. We can not be indifferent to what is taking place in Haiti. The prin- ciples of democracy ate at stake; the right of self-determination, for which Mr. Wilson said we went to war, is involved, and the question of the equality of nations under in- ternational law will not down. THE NATIONAL BENEFIT AND BUSINESS PROGRESS The recently announced trans- action through which The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city purchased the assets and business of the Standard Life Insurance Compaty should be a matter of the greatest satisfaction to all who are concerned in the development of business among Negroes. The interest involved is large. The understanding of the technique and complexity of the deal shows that the Negro is becoming adjust- ed to the trend and direction of business combination and consoli- dation characteristic of the present day. That the race has regained control of @ venture, the apparent loss of which was at one time a souree of discouragement, should revive hope ‘and asperation in all who realize the supreme necessity of developing in the race a group of experienced and eificient busi- ness_men. In this view of the matter, the "whole race may have » sense of | pride and encouragement whick LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor Washington Tribune: { Dear sir: gs er reading your paper of March 19, 1927, I have one con- structive seitieismato oe I observed that you had a% your feature the sensational’ “Osborne Divorce Case,” which only effected the principals, and. perhaps a few interested gequaintances of theirs.

C.-S. BROUNESON. She Favors Darrowism Editor Washington Tribune, Dear Sir: Tf we had more Darrows, we would not have to use so many ar- rows. I am glad I have lived to see a man like Bishop Jones of the A. M. E, Zion Church, a man with the courage and. the individuality t say what'he thinks of the champ- ion of our race, Clarence Darrow. Our race is filled with supersti- tious ideas in regards to religion If religion means anything at all means. love, truth and justice. These are the things for which Mr Darrow starids. Such is the kind of religion we need today. We have far too much of the other kind, the kind that is thanking God for having just finished a success- ful lynching party, or the kind that stops preaching long enough to see that the black, faees. entering. the church may get a Jini-crow seat. We are truly tired of this type of Christian religion. Then jet us have in its place the truth, the love, the justice for which the world is crying. When we-have enough love ‘in our hearts to see the souls. of people: and not their nationality or ‘race, we have found then, all the ‘religion we need in this world—and the other world can take care of it- self. "And so, Clarence Darrow stands for the religion of the soul. We have had a few other men. like Darrow who were not afraid to broadcast their views. Mr. Darrow has come to help our race but I am sorry to say so many of us are not ready to receive him. Let-us » away the clouds of superstition and look at things as they are. Too long have we heen fooled. Let us. use our brains for what they were given us—to think. Leb us see it we cannot reduce a few million. of the hypocrites we have now. As Bishop Jones has well said, we have suffered more from misrepre- resentation of Jesus than from any attempt to deny his existence: Let us then appreciate what. Mr. Dar- row is doing for us. Indeed, it would be better to have a nation of Darrows, frank in its denuncia- tion, than to have a world of hyp- ocrites, professed Christians, un- civilized savages ready at all times to crush the weak. (Mrs.) LEONORA C, DAVIDSON 1838 R Street, N.W. An Allegory Editor, Washington Tribune; Dear Sir: This is an allegory. A skunk eame into gur garden one day, and did us a great service by slestroying many bugs and worms which were damaging our crop and flowers. The older folks with great ex- perience had taught us to always beware of a skunk, and his kind; but because this particular skunk did a serviceable trick in our gar- den, we took him into the house and called in our neighbors to see him, and appreciate with us the service he had rendered. _ The neighbors came. All of us ‘knew that it was a skunk. True to his mature, he sent forth that obnoxious odor; much to the dis- comfort of our family and friends, ‘The skunk finally went out, leav- ing the odor behind. Our neigh- hors went home with a vivid mem- ory of the skunk and the odor. It lived true to its nature as—a skank; but “we” did not live up to our knowledge, or boasted intelli- genee. ‘So don’t blame the skunk, but should produce results.-in other lines of business. . ‘There is so-much in the way of business that men of courage, ef- ficiency and vision-can atcomplish for the race, that tyo much can not be said by way of urging out young men to look more and more toward business, and by wey of urging our people to» patronize those who make business ventures. The National Benefit Life In- surance Company stands a beacon light and a living testimonial. of the Negro’s business capacity. Let all of us take courgge and | go forward.

AGREES WITH MARY Dear Editor: Last week Mary Nelson appealed to the girls to send in more stories, poems, arti- cles, jokes, letters, puzzles, book reviews, Negro history information to the Kiddies’ Corner. While she Gid not ask for them in the way I have here, she meant just that, just the same. Tam hoping that the girls will do as Mary asked, and send in lots and lots to the Corner. We can not, and we should not permit boys to outdo us in anything that is worth being done. Tribunites, I am with Mary. Girls, aren't’ you? ARNETT W. OWENS (14) A ROY SPEAKS Dear Editor: I would like to say to the boys that we had better get together and “step on it.” Last week my sister wrote a letter ask- ing the girls to send in more let- ters to the Corner. Now, fellows, if W. H. Smallwood can send in such a corking good story. like “The Boy Scouts’ Success” we should feel proud of him, and not be bothered about what ‘the girls may say. I have never written td the Kiddies’ Corner before because it is so small, and I have been think. ing that I’ would stand aside and let other children write. But from now on I am going to write, so that if the editor runs short of mater- ial by boys, he will have some- thing from me at least. I am hoping that the girls will send in as much as they want to— but we’ won't let them send in any more than we will.

Adams Mr. Wellington A. Adams has compiled some data concerning the great masters in music. To. try to get our readers interested in the best there is in music, we will print for several weeks—short sketches of the masters and their works, Bach and Handel were the sub- jects of Mr. Adams’ sketches last Week. This week his subjects are Haydn and Mozart. Haydn When Franz Josef Haydn was born, music was still a compara- tively young art. Later it was he who established certain moulds and frames which remain today as the architectural basis of musical com- position. His special domains were the orchestra and the string quar- tet. He lived in a period marked by frills and furbelows, Dresden china and minutes, and his music shows this influence in its anima- tion, grace, and polish. Haydn was born in Rohrau, lower Austria in 1732. He has often been called “the father of modern orchestral music.” “The Creation,” “Children’s Symphony,” and “Surprise Syphony” are a- mong his best known and best liked compositions. Haydn died in Vien- na in 1809, Mozart If ever a master was born, not made, it was Mozart. This man who seemed to have been taught music in a celestial realm. ‘At the height of his creative powers the master died hungry and neglected. «His sunny nature found expression in music that is above all, human, and his is an art that ne is tempted to, call “artless,” thereby paying it the highest tri- bute possible. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 and died in 1791. Some of his best known composi- tions are “Magic Flute,” “Nozze di Figaro” and “Turkish March.” | (Continued next week.)
