SCHOOL NATIONWIDE SEARCH IS STARTED FOR FLANAGAN IN REAL ESTATE FRAUD A nation-wide net was cast this week for Clinton T. Flanagan, 143 D street, northeast, who posed as a real estate operator, when the local detective bureau broadcast a description of him with his photograph. Headquarters Detective Weber and Talley, who are working on the case, believe that his arrest will be made shortly. Flanagan is wanted here in connection with the fraudulent obtaining of a loan on the property of Mrs. Violet B. Warfield, wife of Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital. CLINTON T. FLANAGAN Police say they also have other charges which will be pressed when Flagan is caught. They range from larceny to forgery. Indictments will probably be returned Monday against Flanagan, Albert T. Edwards of New York City, and Lucy A. Taylor, of 1232 street, northwest, who are charged with forgery in connection with the placing of a loan on Mrs. Warfield's property at 1901 Eleventh street, northwest. Witnesses in the case were called before the grand jury this week. The woman impersonated Mrs. Warfield and was paid the sum of $50 to endorse papers and checks in connection with the loan, which was made through the office of Arms and Drury. Police say that she was only a dupe in the transaction and that Flanagan was the real brains of the plot. Edwards told police that Flanagan brought him here from New York for the purpose of putting over this fraudulent deal. COUNCIL REVIEW PLAYERS WILL REPEAT PLAY COUNCIL REVIEW PLAYERS WILL REPEAT PLAY The Council Review Players will repeat the play, "The Slopes of Calvary," because of the popular demand for it, according to the manager, Francis Spriggs. The play will again be under the direction of Barrington Guy, and will be presented at the Belasco Theatre, Madison place, between Pennsylvania avenue and H street, northwest. It is pointed out by Mr. Spriggs that a few weeks ago, "The Awakening" was given by the K. K. K. players at this same thee re. Interpreted, he says, "The Awakening" means "Keep the Negro in his place." "The Negro in the Slopes of Calvary" aims to show the world that he considers it his place to accept Christ as his Divine Master, and to follow his principals and teachings, in attaining the highest possible goal in this life and in the life to come," stated Mr. Spriggs. The entire house at the Belasco has been turned over to the colored players, and seats may be obtained from the orchestra to the bal- Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. 100 E SEARCH ATOR FLAN ESTATE OOL SEARCH IS R FLANAGAN STATE FRAUD U. STREET SCENE OF GALA EASTER PARADE SUNDAY U street, northwest, where one-fourth of the population of the nation's capital does its pleasure-walking, had its Easter parade. The promenade began at the close of the morning church services. It lasted until the theatres closed near midnight. The weather was ideal, a bright sunshiny, balmy, spring day. In the evening it was turned just cool enough to make a topcoat feel comfortable. Under such climatic conditions thousands came forth to display their spring clothes in the Easter parade. Pastel shades predominated in both men and women's wearing apparel. Quite a few women were dressed in black and white ensembles. One of the prettiest seen on U street was a black and white ensemble worn by a young school teacher. Her spring coat was trimmed in a white braid instead of white fur as most of such coats were trimmed in. She wore a black and white hat and carried a pocketbook to match. Coat Suits Few But few coat suits were worn by the fairer sex. Most of them sported spring coats. There were several coat suits displayed that attracted attention. One was a dark blue trimmed in braid. A few men were seen in formal attire, silk hat, cutaway coat, striped trousers, spats, and everything. Some look dignified, others ridiculous. The collegiates wore mostly fawn or gray colored topcoats and suits. A large number of people left the city. They spent Easter Sunday in New York or Atlantic City. Those who remained here enjoyed one of the most orderly Easter Sundays in the history of Washington, there being but few arrests and accidents. One accident occurred on U street. The automobile of Mortimer M. Harris was struck by an alleged drunken driver at the corner of Eleventh street. TWO CABINET OFFICERS AT FISK MEETING Two cabinet officers, Postmaster General Harry S. New and Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur, and the president of Howard University, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, joined with the president of Fisk University, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, in speaking in the interest of the latter institution at a meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Monday night. Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, presided. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, also spoke. "I wish Fisk University, and every other university, white or black, that has for its purpose the elevation of American citizens, the fullest measure of success," said Postmaster General New in closing his remarks. "No people," he said, "can have any higher aspirations than the aspirations for knowledge. No people can do better for their race or country than to help the young and the on-coming generations to get education. There can be no progress without education. In (Continued on page 5).

Sneed, 1700 Florida avenue, northwest, filed suit in the District Supreme Court against Rhett Stuart, white, 1638 Connecticut avenue, northwest, for $20,000 damages as the result of an automobile accident. Mr. Sneed alleges that while crossing U street at the corner of Florida avenue, northwest, he was struck by a speeding automobile driven by the defendant. He sustained severe injuries on account of which he was confined at home until March 1. The accident occurred December 18, 1926. MAN ACCUSED OF RAPE WILL TRY TO PROVE ALIBI Philip Jackson will go on trial for his life in criminal court No. 1 Monday morning, Justice A. A. Hoehling will preside. Jackson is charged with rape. It is argued that after knocking his victim, Miss Daisy Welling, white, unconscious with a brick he dragged her behind some bushes and criminally assaulted her. The crime was committed in the Capitol grounds and was one of the most heinous in the history of the Capital. If the jury which tries him should find him guilty of the crime it may add to its verdict the words "with the death penalty." If the jury should fail to agree as to the punishment, the judge may impose a sentence of not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years imprisonment. After his arrest Jackson signed a confession. He was taken into the Capitol grounds by headquarters detectives and, it is alleged, (Continued on page 9) S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR SOCIETY IS REVIVED In 1904, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the Anglo-Negro composer, visited the United States for the purpose of directing the rendition of his composition, "Hiawatha," under the auspices of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Washington. In 1906, he returned for the purpose of again directing the rendition of "Hiawatha" at Convention Hall. This well-known musical society has been resurrected for the purpose of again presenting Coleridge-Taylor's inspiring composition. Remembered as he is by all music lovers as one of the greatest composers, being not only the composer of the music of "Hiawatha" but also of the great oratorio "The Atonement," it is for the purpose of preputeting his memory and his music that colored music lovers of Washington have 11-organized their society for the purpose of rendering his selections from time to time. The present officers of the society are: J. Townsend Beason, president; Miss Blennie Bruce, vice president; Mrs. Alice Nelson Williams, secretary; and R. J. Daniels, treasurer. The board of management consists of J. Townsend Beacon, Miss Marie C. James, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Judge James A. Cobb, George Beacon, James C. Cowan, Jessie Madden, Miss Blennie Bruce, Rev. A. A. Lott, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Mrs. Alice Nelson Williams, Mrs. Amanda Gray-Hilyer, and Professor R. J. Daniels. The society was re-organized in November, 1926. It meets every Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Cleveland Community Center, Eighth and T streets, northwest, for rehearsals. There are at present 135 voices in the chorus, and the Washington Civic Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Wesley I. Howard of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, is to be augmented to fifty pieces. The society will make its bow to the Washington public again Tuesday evening. May 24, at Metropolitan A. M.

Such was the greeting received by the adults who attempted to enter the White House grounds on Easter Monday when more than 20,000 parents and children as WHO SAID CHILDREN'S DAY? Left to right: Mrs. WHITLOCK, Mrs. COATES and Miss. FONEY sembled for the annual egg-rolling carnival. In spite of the repairs being made at the White House, the large crowd spread over the grounds and indulged in a gala holiday festival. "I was a task to keep from walking on children or eggs. Every slope of the rolling, spacious, and beautiful White House grounds was filled with kiddies and parents, black and white. What a good time the children were having! Romping and tumbling over the premises of the president, on this one day peculiar to Washington; for where, other than Washington and the immediate vicinity do people observe and participate in an Easter Monday holiday of egg-rolling and frivolity on such a giant scale. Twenty thousand persons at the White House grounds! Yet, that's not the half of it! Thirty thousand chose to picnic at Rock Creek Park, where the Zoo offered an added attraction, and where admission did not depend upon a kiddie as a ticket. Whereas the majority of the celebrators at the White House grounds were white, the larger number at Rock Creek Park seemed to be colored. Though supposedly children's day, there were many grown-ups and near grown-ups enjoying themselves. RANDOLPH TO SPEAK AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY RANDOLPH TO SPEAK AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY NEW YORK, Apr. 16—Through the invitation of Dr. Robert M. Labaree, of the Department of Economics and Sociology, A. Phillip Randolph, editor of the Messenger, and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, will speak at Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa., Friday, April 29, on "Organized Labor and the Negro." Mr. Randolph will also address a joint meeting of the Social Problems Club and the Douglass Society of City College, Thursday, April 28, on "The Black and White World of Workers." The new building of Frelinghuysen University at Sixth and M streets, northwest, has again been sold at auction. The sale took place Wednesday of this week. The sale this week was due to the inability to raise sufficient funds to redeem the building which was bought in by Attorney L. Melleendez King, representing the interests of the university, at the first auction sale, March 10. The building was bought by a Mr. Slaughter, holder of the third trust. There was only one bid—$58,000. The students of the school hung an effigy over the central door of the school, with an inscription on it reading, "Pres. of De Ducts." The effigy was hung prior to the sale, and though it was removed by some one connected with the school, it was later replaced in its former position. It is assumed that this act referred to the mismanagement of the school and its funds by the officials, as pictured in the minds of the students. It is stated that the students sought financial aid for the building, and that their failure to get it was because of the blunders of the managers. A student committee sought aid from Anson Phelps EFFIGY HANGING OVER FREELINGHUYSEN ENTRANCE sounder basis, that he would consider their appeal anew. The student committee, composed of two BOY IS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS FRIEND BOY IS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS FRIEND Charles Alden Brown, 17, 1319 S street, northwest, received a slight wound in his foot last Friday night when a friend, Ulysses Foster, 18, assistant janitor at Hilltop Manor, Fourteenth and Oak streets, northwest, accidentally shot him. Brown and two companions, Herman Givens, 17, 1321 S street, and Paul Curtis, 17, 1309 S street, called on Foster in his downstairs apartment at Hilltop Manor late Friday evening, in a car belonging to Curtis' oldest brother. Shortly after 11 o'clock the boys were preparing to leave when Foster went into a closet and emerged with a .32 calibre revolver swinging "Bill Hart style" on his index finger. He pointed the pistol at Givens who immediately remonstrated. Turning the pistol toward the feet of Brown, Foster accidentally discharged it, the bullet tearing a gash between two of his toes and embedding itself in the floor. The three boys rushed Brown to Freedmen's Hospital where he was treated. Police were called to the hospital, but Foste was not arrested. Brown's condition is not serious. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. STATE DEPARTMENT REFUSES TO GIVE OUT INFORMATION ON ARREST OF BISHHOP BROOKS The State Department would give out no information Wednesday relative to its investigation of the arrest of Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Monrovia, Liberia, on charge of debt, March 28.

Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Without the consent of Mr. Hawkins the department will not divulge any of its findings. It takes the view that he matter is private. The investigation was begun at the instance of Mr. Hawkins, whom the State Department regards as the representative of Bishop Brooks in this country.

M. E. CHUR GET FINANCI AT ANNUAL M A. M. E. CHURCH BOARDS GET FINANCIAL REPORTS AT ANNUAL MEETING HERE Prof. JOHN R. HAWKINS PETER H. HARRIS HUGHES, POET, CRITICIZES"BEST PEOPLE" OF CITY In an article appearing in the Pitishbrgp Courier last week, Langston Hughes, poet and student of Lincoln University, took what might be called a "dig" at the "best" people of Washington. The occasion for his remarks was an article on literature and art. His authoritativeness on the opinions of the "best" people of Washington is pointed out in his article when he says: "I'd never been in Washington before, but I found it a city as beautiful as Paris and full of nice colored people, many of them nice looking and living in nice houses. For my mother and I, the city was a sort of ancestral shrine of which I had heard much. The great John M. Langston, Congressman, educator and grand uncle of mine, had once lived there. Indeed, I was to stop with descendants of his, and of course I would meet the best people. And I did." Discussing these people's appreciation of what he considers art, he says: "... now I wanted to read again and talk about literature, so I set out to borrow, in good Negro fashion, a copy of Jean Toomer's 'Cane.' 'What!', said the wellbred Washington folk. 'Cane?' they repeated, not many having heard of it. Then I was soon given to understand by the female heads of several nice families that 'Cane' was a vulgar book and that no one read it. 'Why do you young folks write that way?' they asked. I offered no protest, for I had (Continued on page 2) Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667.

Church, to the position of Civil Service Commissioner in Chicago, by Mayor Thompson, while most gratifying as an evi- dence of his recognition of the right of the Negro to dignified and honorable representation in the municipal government, should also be a matter of more than passing concern to the church itself. Most people who have a conception of the church as filling a separate and distinct place in human affairs will regret to see a bishop become a secular office holder. Already the church has lost much of its power over the lives and hearts of men, because its min- isters are becoming mere men of ‘the world, practical politicians, re- ceivers and distributors of cam- paign funds, political spellbinders, ‘the subordinates and lackeys and handy men of political managers. All of this hurts the church, ‘The novelists, the dramatists and literary artists generally are mak- ing ministers of religion the sub- jects of their productions. The best selling novel of this season is “Elmer Gantry” by Sinclair Lewis. This novel depicts the ministry in a decidedly unfavorable light. The book has aroused so much enmity among clergymen that its sale in Boston has been ordered stopped. This suppression has aroused interest in it, and thou- sands are buying and reading the book. Now comes the announcement ‘of the appointment of a bishop to an important municipal office in the second city of the United States. We have no way of know- ing how the leaders of the A. M. E. Church will regard this thing. ‘They know whether or not they have so many bishops that they can spare one or more to the civil service of city, state or nation. If they have a, surplus of bishops, the next general conference will not elect any new ones even to fill va- cancies, THE VIRTUE OF SELF-HELP The absolute and indispensable necessity of self-help as a factor in the equation of success is con. stantly being made evident even to the dullest intellect. In a let- ter to Dr, Emmett J. Scott in re- lation to the drive for an endow- ment for Howard University, which was published in The Tri- Dune of last week, Senator James Couzens of Michigan, said: “So Jong as there is plenty of evidence that people are willing to help themselves, I am glad to do some- thing to help them.” The general education board has adopted the same policy. ‘When one takes a little time tc think of it, nothing could be more reasonable than this. How can an individual, or a group be helped ‘unless they help themselves? Not only in matters of education but in all other matters this principle holds true, Benjamin’ Franklir said: “God helps them who help themselves.” We know of no in- stance in which He ever helped any one else. Oliver Cromwell said: “Trust in God, but keep the powder ary.” Cromwell was much given to prayer, but he insisted that something else must be adlled to mere praying; that to prayer something of self-help and self Sufficiency must be added. Napoleon said: “God is on the side of the strongest battalions.” Here we have an expression of the value of self-help reaching to the ‘uttermost limits of self-sufficiency Not only are the invisible pow. ers fond of helpinig those who hel themselves, but powerful and sue. cessful men have like disposition If the Negro would help himself more, he would find friends in quarters where he least expects ‘He must cultivate the spirit o! self-reliance, self-respect and self. development. The man or the group that can show capacity for self-control, self-direction and self- restraint is sure to be sought af. ter. The helpless must be cared for and sheltered and protected; but only those who are capable of self-help can be assisted. To as- ‘sist @ man to help himself is not only-natural and just; it is alsc an exhibition of true foresight. The man who helps himself in a broad and enlightened way is helping his fellow man to do the same thing. Self-help is not self isimess; it is rather a form of true altruism. The great task before the true leaders of the Negro race is to show the rank and file of the race what possibilities of self-help there is in them. They have all the material for the making of this quality; thy need only to be assisted to develop it. : LANGSTON HUGHES ON LIT- ERARY WASHINGTON In recent expressions as to mat- ters literary, Langston Hughes, the poet, who has specialized in that transient literary form known as the “blues,” has taken occasion to give his estimate of that element, or rather circle,-of Washington Negroes who never fail to empha- size their cultural and literary. at- tainments. Mr. Hughes is not, to express it mildly, greatly impressed as to the critical judgment of this ele- ment of our local population. While there may be some differ- ence of opinion as to whether Mr. Hughes has approached this sub- ject in perfect good temper, it can not be denied that this element in Washington has subjected itself to criticism because of its exag gerated claims to literary excel- lence and practice. ‘There are colored people in Washington of genuine culture in letters, but they are not exploiting that fact by methods of vulgar publicity. Mr. Hughes has spoken at the right time, if not in the proper temper. JOHN WESLEY CROMWELL The death last week of John Wesley Cromwell is deserving of more attention than the mere chronicling of the event. The race is under great obligations of grat- itude to Mr. Cromwell. He lived to an advanced age, haying completed eighty full years of life, and approaching his eighty- first birthday at the time of his death. During his life time he had been teacher, public official, Iaw- yer, editor, author, and man of af- fairs, In all of these varied call- ings he kept in view the high- est ideals and the most exalted prineiples. He reared a large family, every member of which received a thor- ough education and became a use- ful and uplifting influence in the development of the race. In the matter of race history, he was better and more accurately in- formed than any other man of his time. His consciousness of the importance of his race, and his faith in its capacity for unlimited development was probably the largest factor in determining the present growing interest in race history. His own contributions to race history were numerous an¢ o? enduring value. He was especially alive to the necessity of Negroes developing into capable and efficiént busines: men, and of the masses of the race supporting and patronizing such men, He urged this at al times. He saw - with absolute clearness, that a race, in order to reach a firm and lasting basis of respectability and independence, must have among its own members those who shall render it every form of social service, in business as well as in the professions. As editor, as public official and as teacher, he inculcated the ab- solute civil and political equality of his race. He never at any time departed in word, deed or conduct from these principles. He did not compromise; he did not apologize When the weight of years came upon him, and he could no longer engage in actual conflict, he held to his convictions. According to recent travelers in Africa, voodoo and witcheraft are not dead in South Africa. Zulu warriors are said to still go through these strange rites. @MIirTHs MiTH’S oS TORAGE PRIVATE ROOMOR OPEN STORAGE LONG DISTANCE MOVERS (RATE AND PACK BYEXPERTS 9'313 YOU STREET, N.W.

Choir Another junior choir has made good here in Washington. This time it was the Vermont Avenue Baptist Junior Choir who present- ed “Crucifixion and Ascension” ty Peace, to a capacity audience at Vermont Baptist Church, of which Rev. James E. Willis, is pastor on Easter Sunday evening. The young voices gave an element of refreshing youthfulness to ° the music as sung. Nature’s real note of Springtime in the air with late fashion vieing strongly with the music made the occasion one of dignity as well as edification to all. The -choir opened with the chorus “God so Loved the World” followed by another, “God Sent_not His Son into the World to Con- demn the World, but that the World through Him Might be Saved.” Here it was that we be- gan to feel the warmth of its marked rythm and splendid vol- ume, the alto group showing fluent reading in unison that was charm- ing. A tenor solo “The Unjust Con- demnation” by Andrew — Allen showed good interpretation and his enunciation was above criti- cism, James Stewart sang the “Pilate” obligato to the next. chor- us fairly well and the choir did full justice to the chorus. ‘The chorus “On the Road to Calvary” was to our mind a good rendition beginning with a good piano attack and a crescendo swell to a climax that was most enhanc- ing. This was a lovely number with the tenors aiding the close sweetly. “Blessed are the Dead which die in the Lord” was effec- tively done. “At the Sepulchre,” a bass solo by James Stewart was possibly done with eamest effort ut was lacking in pitch and con- trol of voice. ‘The chorus “His Countenance was like Lightning” was beautiful- ly rendered with fluent dynamic control by the director. Its move- ment was allegr. yet emotional in character and striking in its spon- taneity. Andrew Allen, tenor, who sang “Calvary” and two other pre- ceding numbers then rendered the final obligato solo, “He is Risen, H. is not here.” As he commenced with the words “Why Seck the Living Among the Dead” he im- mediately brought color to the scene, so vividly did he portray the song by his distinct utterance, sweet ringing melody of tender exultancy, and an effective tone fressure brought, to, bear on. his wearers. It was short but equisite, It was searching in its full and complete deliverance of a happy message to a once saddened but but now glad world. Andrew Allen scored a triumph as tenor soloist all through the evening and while many may not have realized it through less keen perception he nevertheless, played @ supreme part in the rendition of this cantata at Vermont Ave- nue Baptist Church. The final number was a sort of “lalleluia Chorus” of minor char- acter, yet what this young choir didn’t do with i: certainly must be left undone in the future as they sung it with a unison, clari~ ty, brilliance and dynamic control that carried conviction . It closed a musical rendition that the Jun- ior Choir of Vermont Avenue Bap- tist Church may well feel proud of hereafter. ‘A. C.

Adams has compiled some data concerning the great masters in music. To try to et our readers interested in the best there is in music, we have published for several weeks, short sketches of the masters and their works, Mr. Adam's sketches have al- ready dealt, with Bach, Handel, Hayden, Mozart, Schubert, Beeth- oven, Mendelssohn, and Schumann, ‘The article closes this week with Chopin, Grieg, and Tschaikowsky as the subjects. Chopin No words can adequately de- scribe the magic of Chopin. Chopin wrote practically only for the pia- no, the real possibilities of which ho’ was the first to discover. Un- der his hands it ceased to be an instrument of “percussion,” _ be- coming, subject to his varying moods, a wondrous medium for expressing passion, tenderness, playful irony, anger, gloom, sim- ple loveliness. But, always he had regard for “musical sonority,” for harmonious distribution of chord, and arpeggio, and proved that even Kittle “hammers” were intended, first and last, to sing. Francois Frederick Chopin was born, some authorities say 1809, others say 1810. He wos born at Warsaw, Poland. ile went to Pa- ris in 1831 and stayed there al most till his death. He died in 1849. Some of his most widely played compositions are Berceuse in D Flat; Fantaisie Impromptu; Fun- eral March; Nocturne in E Flat; Polonaise Miletaire; Valse Bril- lante; Waltz in A Flat. . Grieg Edward Hagerup Grieg_ was born in Bergen, Norway, June 15, 1843. As a result of his example, Scandinavia today possesses a mu- sical literature as distinct as the work of the poets and: novelists, and as typical as that of Russia, Spain’ and France. His composi- tions, especially the more “lyrical” piano pieces, contain the finest es- sence of his exquisite and personal style. He develops a mood, ten- der and elegiac, or rollicking and droll, that is always unmistakably tinged with the colors of Nor- wegian folk-music. He studied in the Leipzig Con- gervatory 1858-1662 and later in Copenhagen. His best known com- positions ate Bridal Procession, Butterfly; Norwegian Bridal Pro- cession; Peer Gynt Suite: Solveig’s Bong: "To. the Sprinctios | ste Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.

I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, be- ing a Negro, I will do all I can to add honor to my people. A NEW KIND OF BLIND MAN'S BLUFF This is an amusing game for parties. All the players but one are blindfolded, and he carries a small bell, of, if you have not a bell handy, a marble in a tin box will do. The player with the bell has to:move about among the blindfolded ones, jingling the bell, and they have to catch him. Much fun can be got out of the game if the player with the bell rings it and then creeps silently away to another part of the room, while the others, guided by the sound, are groping about for him, and probably catching one another. When the bellman is caught he has to take his place with the blindfolded players, while the one who caught the bell ringer takes the bell. TWO POEMS By E. Meredith Murray Easter Bells Joyous Easter bells are ringing Echoes far and near, Telling of our blessed Savior Everyone may hear. Vor the world he died to save it Died in agony and pain, And his messages, so wonderous Evermore shall reign. Easter bells may tell the story How he hung on Calvary, And the world shall make the glory— Of the Lord who died for thee. Easter bells like silver chimes Ring out, “Christ ir risen.” And. the echoes come sublime, “Christ our Lord is risen.” The Old Oak Tree Down beside the rushing pond Stands an old oak tree; Where the moss runs all together ‘That's the place for me.

Tschaikowsky never freed himself from racial fetters and so always remained Russian to the core. In some of his musie, he plumbs un- fathomed depths of pathos or mounts rare heights of ecstasy. He has succeeded in expressing by means of music a temperament distinctly perverse, though pecu- liarly human. He is known as one of the great- est of orchestral composers. His compositions best known are “An- dante Cantabile; Casse-Noisette Suite; 1812 Overture; Legend; Marche Slow; Melodie; Siéeping Beauty Waltz.

HUGHES,POET,CRITICIZES "BEST PEOPLE" OF CITY (Continued from page 1) not heard the question before, and I am not much at answering questions quickly. But, amazed, I thought how a prophet is without honor in his own country, since Jean Toomer was born and had lived in Washington. “Cane” had received critical recognition all over America, and even in Europe, as a beautiful book, yet in the society of the author’s own home town, it was almost unknown. And those who knew it, thought it something low and indecent. Whenever ‘Cane’ was mentioned, the best Washingtonians posted this question: ‘Why doesn’t Jean Toomer write about nice people?’ and I began to think they wanted to add, ‘like ourselves.’ "When Rudolph Fisher's 'City of Refuge' appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (Washington is Fisher's home town, too) the best persons again asked the same thing: 'Why can't you young folks write about nice people? Rudolph Fisher knows decent folks.' And then I knew the 'nice people' meant themselves. "Why does he make his subjects so colored?' As though they weren't colored. And of the two school teachers pictured in the book: 'Couldn't he find any better looking school teachers to paint than these' two women?' As though all teachers should resemble the high-yellow ladies dominating the Washington school system. "I said it was art," Hughes continued, "and that the dark-skinned school teachers were beautiful. But one day, a nice old grandmother, with whom I dislike to disagree, summed up everybody's aversion to Fisher, Toomer, Walrond and the Reiss drawings in one indefinite but pregnant remark, 'Lord help these bad New Negroes.'" In concluding the article, Hughes states: "Now that there has appeared in the colored press a definite but rather uncritical aversion to much of the work of the younger Negro writers, and particularly myself, and because the Negro press reflects to a certain extent the minds of its readers, it is time to attempt to uncover the reasons for this dislike toward the 'New Negro.' I present these as possible solutions: "1. The best Negroes, including the newspaper critics, still think white people are better than colored people. It follows in their minds, that since the drawings of Negroes do not look like the drawings of white people they are bad art. "2. The best Negroes believe that what white people think about Negroes is more important than what Negroes think about themselves. Then it follows that because a story by Zora Neal Hurston does not tend to make white people think all Negroes good, then said story by Neal Hurston is a bad story. "3. Many of the so-called best Negroes are in a sort of Nouveau Riche class, so from the snobbishness of their positions they hold the false belief that if the stories of Fisher were only about better class people they would be better stories. "4. Again, many of the best Negroes, including the newspaper critics, are not really cultured Negroes after all, and therefore, have little appreciation of any art and no background from which to view either their own or the white man's books or pictures. "Art is a reflection of life or an individuals comment on life. No one has labeled the work of the better known younger Negro writers as untrue to life. It may be largely about humble people, but three-fourths of the Negroes are humble people. Yet, I understand these 'best' colored folks when they say that little has been written about them. I am sorry and I wish someone would put them into a nice story or a nice novel. But I fear for them if ever a really powerful work is done about their lives, such a story would show not only their excellencies, but their pseudo-culture as well, their slavish devotion to Nordic standards, their snobbishness, their detachment from the Negro masses and their vast sense of importance to themselves. "A book like that from a Negro writer, even though true and beautiful, would be more thoroughly disliked than the stories of low-class Negroes now being written. And it would be more wrathfully damned than 'Nigger Heaven,' at present vibrating throughout the land in its eleventh edition. MRS. FANNIE DAVIS SERIOUSLY ILL Mrs. Fannie Davis, mother of Mrs. E. D.

Anderson, 1406 Columbia road, northwest, for an absolute divorce, Mrs. Mary L. Anderson denies his chrages of infidelity. In his bill of complaint, Mr. Anderson questions the paternity of her 4 months old child, Felton, who was born December 18, 1926. He charges his wife with misconduct and names Joseph McDoughlas and a Mr. McIntyre as correspondents. The couple was married in Alexandria, Va., in August, 1922. They have three children, McKinley J. Anderson, Jr., 4 years old, Emma Louise Anderson, 3 years old, and Felton. Mrs. Anderson attributes their marital difficulties to the desire of her husband to be rid of her in order that he might marry another woman whom he considers to be more suited to be his wife. Ordered from Home She admits that she has not lived with her husband since December 18, last, when she was taken to the Columbia Hospital. She returned to their home December 29, she says, and her husband came in and ordered her to leave and take the infant with her. Mrs. Anderson denies that her husband had their home raided in March, 1926, and found McIntyre in the bedroom with her with the doors and blinds fastened. She states that he returned home with a policeman and demanded the arrest of McIntyre, who was talking with her in her bedroom, but she and McIntyre were fully clothed and the doors were open, and the policeman refused to make the ar- Wife Denies Charges She contradicts the statement of her husband that a few days after this alleged raid she asked him for money with which to visit her mother in order to forget her wrongs and live a better life.

Sailing from New York on the S.S. "Albert Ballin" of the Hamburg-American line May 26, the party will arrive at Cherbourg on June 3. Before proceeding to Paris for a stay of two weeks, the party will have headquarters at Caen for four days, spending three more at Rouen, thereby enabling them to see interesting Norman towns, cathedrals of Gothic architecture, and points of historical interest. The stay in Paris is long enough to allow the members of the party time for their own pleasure, when not taking scheduled sight-seeing trips around the city and to points near at hand, including the battlefields and Versailles. Among places visited in Paris will be the Place de la Concords, Champs Elysees, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Eiffel Tower, Cathedral of Notre Dame, Grands Boulevards, and the Latin Quarter. One day in Paris is to be devoted to a conducted trip to the Louvre and another to the Cluny Museum. After leaving Paris the party will go to Amsterdam for a short stay, visiting the Rijks Museum and the Palace, and taking a trip to the Isle of Marken. From there April 27, 1926, he ordered her to visit her mother and take their two children with her. Out of fear for her life, she declares, she visited her mother in South Carolina, but after two weeks returned here. Again at the point of a gun he ordered her out of their home, suggesting that she visit her brother in Atlantic City, N. J. She went to Atlantic City, May 17 and remained there until August 8. When she returned here she was ill and a medical examination disclosed that she was to become a mother. Mrs. Anderson is represented by attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Ernest J. Davis. The Federation of Republican Colored Women's Clubs, of the District of Columbia, announced that the following members of the Federation who attended the school which was conducted at the New Willard Hotel by the League of Republican Women had passed a successful and creditable examination in Civil Government, for which they received certificates.

Best For Weak Back Are you suffering from the misery of a lame, aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes and supports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately. Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's, the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. —ady Mrs. Lula Howe Robinson returned to the city after several months spent in North Carolin with her sister.

Soon it was so long, soft and silky that it reached my shoulders and was easy to comb. Men began to pay attention to me and to seek my company. Popularity and good times were mine at last. What a difference, and oh! how happy I am. I wish every short hairied girl to know of my experience and try Hi-Ja."

Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo soprano of New York City, in recital Wednes- day evening at the Metropolitan A.M. E. Church. The singer who is a former popular school teacher of this city has appeared in vari- ous cities in recital with marked success and also was a member of the “popular cast of the opera, “Deep River.” She was well re- ceived by her audience as evidenced in the presentation of two beauti- ful bouquets of roses during the program which she gracefully ac- knowledge with bows and smiles while the audience applauded sym- pathetically. Mrs. Murray's program demon- strated wide versatility. Her of- fering included a group of spirit- uals and works of French, Ger- man, English and one Russian composer. Exceptionally pleasing were her renditions of “Worship of God in Nature” (Beethoven); “Mon Jardin” (Fourdrain); “Cav- atine de Leila (Les Pecheurs de Perles)” (Bizet); the group of spirituals by Burleigh and Dett; “Time, You’ Old Gypsy Man’ (Besly); “Music, When Soft Voi- ces Die” (Besly); “Time Was When I in Anguish Lay” (Griffes); and: “Joy” (Winter Watts). She was recalled three times with hearty applause and responded with lighter numbers. ‘Mrs. Murray gave her hearers profound psychology in song. Her diction ,in language or native ton- gue was rare.

He also vaght to plead guilty to the rape barge, but the judge would not accept his plea inasmuch as the crime is a capital offense. Jackson had no counsel. Attor- ney John H.

Justice Hoehling granted this motion because the “defendant ee ra, ee via lene Attomey Wilson has indicated that the defense will seek to re- pudiate the confession which the st ate said to have obtained rom Jackson. It will be charged that this confession was not, vol- unterily made, but was obtained by the ue of “third degree” meth- is. Jackson will also have an alibi. ‘The crime was committed between 11:30 and 12 o'clock on the night ‘of February 18. Defense wit- nesses will probably be called, who will testify that on that night Jackson was asleep at his rooming place, 221 Third street, northeast. Mrs. Courtney, his landlady, says that on the night of the crime Jackson came home between 8 and 9 o'clock, He went to 231 Third street, northeast, where he had his meals and returned shortly. A Jittle after 9 o'clock, she says, he passed by her going upstairs to his room. She remained up until after midnight, she states, and Jackson was still jn his room. Her statement is corrobated by her husband, her children and a brother, Michael Bailey, who was a toommate of Jackson, - Bailey says that he went to bed between 8:80 and 9 o'clock. Jackson was in the room at that time and went to bed shortly after 9 o'clock, he states. Jackson did not leave the house, Bailey also declares. The Government will ask for the death penalty in the case of con- viction. Assistant United States Attorneys Collins and Fiehelly will prosecute the case.

Equality Stressed _ “I said that we were all born on an equality in this country. Under the law the government can, should and must see that au people, without regard to race 0! color, ‘have equal opportunities. “I have no excuse for, I have no sympathy with any man or any organization, whether it is social religious or political, that would deny to any er = rights: = ‘opportunities that ims for hmself.” 2 ‘The Postmaster General stated that he thought he would give some statistical information re- garding Negroes in the postal ser- viee. When he made an inquiry he found that he was unable to get this information, he said, for the reaspn that in the postal service “no mark is set against the name of any man or woman to show whether he or she is white or black,” patereing to the introductory remarks of Mr. Howard, who de- scribed him ee a friend of the Negro,” Postmaster General New said that he did not know. that he would put it that way. “Fair to all Men” “I want to be fair,” he said, “and to be fair you cannot. dis- jcriminate between men, I cannot be fair to one man without being fair to another man. “There is nothing in the world like justice, and every man fs, en titled “to justice. Let us make laws; yes, and make them just as severe as you want, but make them apply to one man just the ‘same as to another. “Offer opportunities, yes,. and the greater they are, the better it is for all; but deny to no man an opportunity you would give to any other man.” Million Dollars Dr. Jones gave an account of the (ema condition of Fisk Uni- versity. The support of the American Missionary Association was withdrawn from the school in 1912, he said. A million dollar endowment has been raised for the school, but in order to obtain it the sum of $314,000 to pay off the indebtedness of the university must be raised, If the sum of $100,000 is raised among the col- ored Beovles the General Educa- tion ‘and_other boards in New York city have promised to give the balance of $214,000. of this amount, Dr. Jones stated.” “Schools such as Fisk,” Dr. Jones said, “are absolutely essen- tial to the economic, the social, the political and the international de- velopment of this great nation.” Secretary of the Navy Wilbur advised patience, “I ask for you and myself that the irritations of the day may be forgotten and we may look forward to that perfect understanding that is not only vi- tal to the coming of the kingdom of God but essential to the preser- vation of this country we love and the liberties guaranteed to us by the constitution upon which it is based.” More College Men In his address Dr, Johnson stressed the need for more college- bred men. There have been since the war only 10,000 coilege gradu- ates of color in the United States, he stated. There are 45,000 pul- pe he said. If every Negro col- lege graduate and every Negro now in college were to go into these pulpits, he declared, there would still be 28,000 pulpits with- out corfipetent men. Institutions like Fisk are in « critical condition, Dr, Johnson said. They have been maintained by small contributions of religious prone. he stated, but these con- ibutions have become altogether too small to maintain these insti- tutions. Philanthrophy has not yet seen the vision to become re- ‘sponsible for the maintenance of such institutions of learning. The Fisk Jubilee Singers, recent- Jy returned from Europe, rendered several selections. Miss Burroughs spoke of the accomplishment of these singers by “singing a race into the hears of the people of the world..”” Inala eee wee made by the Rey. J. C.

' NEGRO VIOLINIST WAS FRIEND OF BEETHOVEN Be ee ee great composer whose death oc- Egered just one hundrel years ago and whose music still lives as per- haps the greatest ever penned by human hand, has special interest for the Negro musician due to the fact that associated with him, both as a friend and as musician, was the Negro violinist, George’ Au- gustus Polgreen Bridgetower, son of an African father, and ‘Ger- man or Polish mother. Bridgetower made his first pub- Tie appearance as a violinist in London at the age of ten. He be- came a great favorite in the Eng- lish capital and was long in the service of the Prince of Wales, af- terwards King George IV. In 1802 Bridgetower obtained leave of ab- sence to visit mother at Dresden. ‘This leave was prolonged that he might spend a few months in Vienna is playitg in public and Prlvats at Dresden, had secured favorable letters of introduction, ‘and gained for him a most. bril- Tiant ‘Yeception in the highest mu- sical citeles of the Austrian expt tal. Beethoven to whom he was in- troduced by Prince Lichnowsky feadily secured his aid in the pub- Tie concert. The date of this con cert was probably May 24, 1802 when Bridgetower was ’ abou twenty-four years old. The prin cipal item on this program wa: the now femous “Kroutzer Sona ta.” This masterpiece had jus! been completed by Beethoven ‘anc was played for the first time a this concert by Bridgetower with the composer at the piano, Ries, the eminent German mu sician of this period; writes o thik eoneesk Ga dellewss Tungar Battery Station {s now offering the new Genuing Ford Rabe Case, 18-Plate, at the new low price, Hig bat tery will-fit 80 per cent of all gre ee eeaiast for one years 4 oy terrain: fe Hi For Jarger batteries, wo ate offering thé iw Best batteries of tha market and gre known gil over the world hey-Are.the Brett wal By Exide Bate teries, meee ee rele Ra RAIB In our Electrica} Department wa &f6 equipped with the latest improved machines for yepairing auto- mobile Generators, Starters and Ignitogs, which en- ables us to turn out the best of work at the very lowest price, For examplet we overhaul Ford Generators for $4.50 and guarantee them for ninety, days a), MR When you have electric troubles bit Youn no, | Call Potomac 3562 2 ahem 3 - Tungar Battery Station — : ey / $01 RSTREED MME EN | Ino.

Bridgetower's father was known in England as the “Afcican Prince.” How the violinist’s father get, to, Bialn in. Poland, where idgetower was born or whether his mother was a German or a Pole, remains a mystery which has not been cleared up. A letter written by Abt Vogler dated London, June 6, 1790 says, cuits Botert e onover Square tended a cor in Hanover where two young heroes contested with each other on the violin, The two played concerts alternately and bath won the st praia. One of the violinists was, Clement of Vienna, eight and one-half, and the other Bridgetower of Africa, ten years of age.” During Bridgetowers residence in Engl played | before George IIT and his court at Wind- sor Castle.

But not wishing to encourage Winter by adding more heavy clothes to our wardpobes, we chose a frock such as the one pictured above, which can be worn both now and next Summer. - The blousing back, softly shirred skirt and the deep V front are smart this year; they are also slenderizing. This frock is pretty in a gaily printed crépe de Chine with the collar, cuffs and vest in a solid harmonizing color.

It shall apply to all amateur teams. ‘The general belief is that, though the game may be helped in one re- spect, in another the practical abo- lition’ of the dribble will be a step backward. It is true that better team play may result from the change, and that a large portion of the fouling may be eliminated, but dribbling’ is a science, one of the finest arts of the game—and to re- move the dribble means to remove an art. ‘The spectacular dribble had its place, with the uncanny shot, and fightning pass in’ making basket- ball a game of excitement. Many fans would prefer seeing a scien- tifically executed dribbler carry the ball up court than to witness 2 team in which all five men partici- uated in the carriage. It will be a matter of opinion es to whether or not the change will Ree to be a benefit or a menace. 0. definite examples may be watched in the performances, next season, of Soup Turner and Zig Johnson. These two stars are ex- act opposites. “Turner employs the dribble as a science, Johnson as a ‘weapon, Two Opposites Turner is the artist, Dribbling is an esesntial in the strongest asset of his game—floor play. Soups floor play is no doubt the best in Washington, and gen- erally accepted as in a class with ‘the best in the Hast. To take the dribble are ge a, meats to cramp fe has de- veloped it to a. btceine degree. Turner applies brain, Johnson is not an artist. Zig lowers his head and gores his way to’ accomplish the same pur- pose that Turner’s science nets. Fewer" knocks’ will be dealt his op- ponents with the abolition of the dribble. He will not be accorded the freedom he has enjoyed in the past. Players who have been shy of Johnson beeause of his tank-like methods will now have no reason to do their best to keep out of his way once he gels posssesion of the ball. Removal of the dribble means that Johnson will not be considered a pile-driving degree. Johnson ap- plies brawn. ‘These are the two types to be affected by the change. The snatch- ing of Turner's science from his game will have a tendency to weak- en it while the spiking of John- son's weapon will only serve to pol- {sh off his rougher tactics, Soup may ndicapped, Zig barel} helped. eee ee Choose for yourself.

Longfellow, of the Red Cross Society, gave an interesting life saving demonstration before the students in the university. pool Wednesday afternoon of last week. He. entertained his audience by telling many humorous jokes. while he illustrated that many people drown, not knowing how to breathe and control their fears, After a brief talk he imparted the secret of floating. This was followed by the progressive steps used in teaching one how to swim the crawl. At this point the crawl, side stroke, and breast stroke were demonstrated by two girl swim- mers. Perhaps the most, interesting part of his program was the life Raving, demonstration itself in which*he and Mr. Burr took part. He stated that life saving is easy if one knows the technique.

BOY HIGH JUMP MARVEL ENTERED IN HILL MEET ‘The management of the National Cor eran, and Inter. geholastic Track *Mect, sanctioned y the American Collegiate Ath- letic Association, and sponsored by Howard University, announces that Charles Major, the St, Bonaventure high jumper, will give a demon- stration in his speciality at the Howard track meet on May 14. Mejor, a young Negro athlete, is numbered among the new tim- her uneovered for the 1928 Olym: pics. At the annual Milrose A.C, games, staged in New York, Feb- ruary 2, last, this youth gave the best performance of the evening when he leaped 6 feet, 5 and 5- inches in the high jump, to beat the record-holding Osborne, Olym- pic champion, and several other national champions and narrowly missed the world’s indoor record of 6 ft. 6% inches. This feat sur- passed the Olympic high jump ree- ord, which means that, barring un- urial injury and serious reversal of form, Major should be the best high jumper in the United States when he comes up for the next Olympic trials. Cook to Appear ‘The public of Washington and vicinity will be unusually fortun- ate in having the opportunity of seeing a potential world’s record high jumper “at the Howard Sta- dium. This event is staged as one of several features of this meet, which hax grown to be one of the best in the country. Major will be supported by Cecil Cooke, who holds the sational champion- ship for the quter-mile race, and Gus Moore, the outstanding dis tance runner of eastern colleges. ‘The track at the Howard Sta- dium has been recently re-surfaced with two inches of sifted cinders and clay, which makes it probably the fastest apd best track in col ored schools. The Howard man- agement hes been successful in fining up the best corps of track officials for this meet. With am- ple seating facilities and a collec- ton of from 175 to 300 athletes, the 1927 edition of the meet will eclipse all other performances of a meme Amt rizr Otft#M WONDERLAND PARK Open Every Sunday ‘THE COLORED CONEY ISLAND of BALTIMORE, MD.

HAMPTON TRACKMEN GO THROUGH HARD PACES HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. April 21—With only four more weeks in which to prepare for. the “Big Meet” on Armstrong Field Hampton's trackmen have settled down to serious business along the training. line. A large number o! men reported to the corches anc Captain Coles, and among the num- ber about thirty-five may _ be counted on as worthy and valuable cinder-path material. These men, although new, have high hopes of helping Hampton retain — the championship for another year. “Hampton is also contemplating sending a relay team and Captain Coles to the Pen Relays which are held the later part of April. Coles, sensational mile and two-miler of these parts, Will be entered so that he may pit, his skill and running ability against the cream of the country. He will, no doubt, if in the pink of condition, come through with flying colors. ‘At present he is having trouble from over development of the mus- ‘cles, but this defect, it is hoped, will’ soon be remedied, There are five quarter-milers that are show- ing up unusually well in the try- outs for the relay team. They are Baldwin, ox, Clarke, Snowden, and King. Their time is pretty good ineview of the fact that two or three more weeks of hard train- ing are ahead. , : Coles Elected Captain Hampton has lost her excellent and versatile half-miler, John D. Moore. Moore was always the dark horse of the race because no one could tell when or where he trained, However, he led the pack to the tap more than once during his ca- reer at Hampton, Scott, Johnson, of shot-put repute, il! also be lost to the “Seaside” track team, Cap- tain Coles was elected captain of the track team for the third con- secutive year. Among the old men that will be seen in action are Williams, high hurdlér; Ruff, broad jumper and sprinter; Snowden, sprinter; Robin- son and Gaines, shot puters; Har- ee ee tes ‘the sane others, jumpers apd pole vaulters; Coles and Merritt Nbr the distances; Dave Baker, Gray, Bald- win, Clarke, King, sprinters; King, Harris, and Baker, low hurdlers; and Renfrow, discuss thrower. The “vets” are training hard to enable Hampton to meet the strong op- position that they expect in the Hampton Meet on May 14. One more log on the Madame C. J. Walker Trophy will have to be won in order that it may become the permanent possession of the school. i MYATLE AG, LOSES FIRST ‘The Maryland White Sox stepped out in lively fashion last Sunday afternoon when they triumphed over the local Myrtle A.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the aims, objectives, and problems in the field of physical education with the educators and teachers in physical education with hopes that this phase of education will soon be looked upon with respect and be placed in its right place in the curriculum of educational institutions. Need of Physical Education Need of Physical Education The meeting was opened by the president of the association, John Burr, who introduced Dr. E. P. Davis, who delivered the welcoming address. He stressed in his talk the need of physical education and showed that all great nations have used it as a necessity in politics, war, citizenship and education. "Children," he claims, "should be given supervised physical education from birth because life is three-fourths physical activity. This subject is recognized as being needed in our educational institutions and gradually educators are being made to respect this part of our education, if we desire to have strong minds in strong bodies." The aims, objectives and scope of physical education today were given by John Burr, assistant director of physical education at Howard University and president of the association. The aims as he states are to give, all physical enjoyment, health, and build character, mind and body. Today physical education is not upon bodily structure alone but upon function, placing emphasis on the group leadership and co-ordinate action. "Today we find that physical education work is conducted in schools, colleges, Y. M. C. A.'s, Y. W. C. A.'s, hospitals, asylums and industrial and insurance companies that give workers in these fields a chance to do much in building men and women for their life's work." he asserted. Problems in Physical Education Miss Clayda Williams, physical director of the Armstrong High School, gave a very interesting paper on "Problems in Physical Education Today." Some of the most important problems are, as she states, the lack of time to put on a progressive and far-reaching program, which only can be improved by help and assistance of those in power, and the lack of prepared teachers who have the background and training in the sciences, education, pedagogy, and psychology. The problem of girl athletics also is one she thinks that needs a great deal of studying, for today, girls demand to be able to participate in the same sports that boys do. She closed her address pleading for better team-play, cooperation, and interest of the parent, officers and teachers toward physical education. Possibilities of Research Dr. E. B. Henderson's paper on the possibilities of research in the field of physical education was interesting and helpful. There is he claims, much need for us to gather historical facts on the Negro dance and folk lore. It is time for us a race to get information that we ourselves know to be true so that we can impart it to the world. He hopes that by next year that several pieces of research will have been done by the members of the association. Dr. Henderson himself has done considerable work along this line especially on the history of Negro athletes. Educators Pledge Support Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson in his remarks stressed the need of physical educators preparing themalys well for their work, so as to demand respect of the teachers in the academic world, to spread the program out more and develop the work out of doors and not to be afraid to sell physical education to the parents as well as to the school authorities, and to capitalize the character, moral, and social benefits derived from physical education. He hopes to see institutions open professional courses to help meet the need in preparing teachers for this important work. Mr. Turner, principal of Miner Normal, G. D. Houston, principal of Armstrong High, W. Smith, principal of Dumbar, and G. S. Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High all spoke highly of the work being done by the teachers in their schools in physical education and pledge their support to the program. Social Program After the addresses those press sociation are requested to make ent enjoyed a dinner served in the university dining hall after which all of the members spoke. The dinner was followed by a social program consisting of a grand march, volley hall, bat ball, indoor baseball and folk dancing, in the gymnasium. Wikinson and Turner officiled in the baseball game. Newton Miller, physical director, of Armstrong High, was in charge of the program. The next meeting will be held the second Saturday in October. Those interested in joining the association are requested to make application to Dr. E. B. Henderson, secretary-treasurer, Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C. The visitors were Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Garnet C Wilkinson; Mr. Houston, Mr. Turner, Mr. Smith, Mr. Wormley, principals of the Normal and high schools, Dr. E. P. Davis of Howard University. Members: Miss Julia E. Davis, Miss Gertrude Dalton, Miss J. A. Marshall, Miss Estrella Spratlin, Miss Etta Williamson, Miss E. Kenney, Miss Ida May Hall.

PUPILS TO GIVE A BIG CLASSIC DANCE IN MAY Pupils in the school of classic dancing conducted by Miss Mabel Jones, of Columbus, Ohio, of 837 R street, northwest, are rehearsing for their first annual recital to be given in May. This school was established last fall by Miss Jones. She had conducted a school for two years in her native city and came here in search of a broader field for her talents. Miss Jones is a graduate of the Vestoff-Serova Russian School of Dancing in New York City. She received her first instruction in both esthetic dancing and music at the age of 4 years. She continued her study in Coulumbus until she was 18 years old. She then applied to and was accepted in the Vestoff-Serova Russian School of Dancing. After a year of private instruction she was awarded a diploma in toe-ballet. The next year Miss Jones received private instruction under M. Veronine Vestoff and Sonia Vestoff. The third year of instruction in New York was under Genrile Vestoff. Several dances were especially composed for her. Governor Was Patron She returned to Columbus the next year and opened a studio which she conducted for two years. Her work received favorable comment by critics. Governor and Mrs. Vic Donahey were on the list of patrons for her two annual recitals given by her school in Columbus. Miss Jones is well pleased with the reception given her school here. There were 35 pupils enrolled. They are doing excellent work, she says. This enrollment exceeds the enrollment of her first year in Columbus. She expects to have a larger enrollment next year. Her pupils range in age from 9 years up, being drawn largely from the younger, popular set. Many of them are teachers in the public schools. The Vestoff-Serova method is used. The pupils first study the technique. They are then taught the plasticine movements and to combine correctly the arm and body movements with the steps taken. Four-part Recital The recital will be in four parts. The first part will consist of miscellaneous dances of all nations and classic dancing. The second part will be devoted to Spanish dancing. The third part will consist of ballet and toe dancing, and the fourth part will be miscellaneous, similar to the first part. In all there will be 42 dances in the recital. Thirty-one pupils will be in the cast. Included in this number will be Audrienne Marshall, Charlotte West, Portia Ferguson, Lenora Butler, Sarah Arnold, Lucille Taylor, Frankie Taylor, Geraldine Hughes, Inez Rivers, Bessie Grant, Julia Smith, Olivia Johnson, Alice Lewis, Kellene Lewis, Josie Caldwell, Leona Dodson, Katherine Harris, Ollie Burke, Mrs. Ernest Marshall, Helen Coombs, Evelyn Jackson, Ruth Scott, Grace Walker, Grace Marshall, Juanita Jones, Hilda Lawson, Harriet Pelham, Marion Hardwick, Claudia Scroggins, Patience Scott, Louise Evans and Virginia Shepper.

Once upon a time a man was going into a movie theatre. But upon seeing what the picture was, he said: "That's a rotten title, so the picture must be bad, I won't go in." The picture was "SLIDE, KELLY, SLIDE" Don't be misled by a title, like that man was, because this is SOME picture! Moral—A title may not mean anything, and the picture still be good.
