MASONS
TRUSTEES MAY
ACCEPT NOTE
PAYMENTS
Justice Jennings Bailey in equity court last Monday authorized the trustees, Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, who were appointed by the court to sell the unfinished Masonic structure at Tenth and U streets, northwest, to accept payment in full of the balance of the purchase price from the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free Ancient and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia.
The trustees held two notes representing the balance of the purchase price of this unfinished structure. They were for $33,000 each. One was due July 12 last and the other is due July 12, 1928. The court required the Masonic grand lodge to pay the interest on the latter note to maturity. This order of the court will permit Samuel J. Solomon, who is under contract to complete the building, to put a first trust of $220,000 on the property. The money from this loan and from a second trust loan of $218,000, which the grand lodge will put on the building by a bond issue, it is said, will be used to complete the building.
To Hold $25,000
Justice Bailey also directed the trustee to retain on deposit to their credit from the funds received from the payment of the two notes the sum of $25,000 for the purpose of paying any mechanic liens for labor and material furnished on this building prior to May 10, 1926. This sum of $25,00 is to be held until July 12, 1922 when the trustees shall account to the court for the money retained.
This unfinished Masonic struct ure was sold at public auction on April 12, 1926, for the sum of $99,000 One-third cash was paid. The balance was represented by two promissory notes, which the grand lodge is paying.
The sale of the building resulted from a suit for an accounting and receivership by Charles Datcher lodge, Dr. Elias G. Evans and Allan A. C. Griffith against the New Masonic Hall Corporation, which undertook the building of a Masonic temple.

HOWARD CAB CO. PUTS NEW CARS UPON STREETS
The purchasing of a small fleet of Moller Palace Taxis by the Howard Cab Company is a distinct step in advance for the independent cab owners. The Howard Cab Company has been in existence for some time; but it has now reached the point where it can operate on a sound basis, and begin replacing its old equipment with new cars. To this end, much credit must be given this company. A few months ago, the members were separated individuals, struggling for existence in the face of withering competition with the big cab companies. A few energetic young men came together, set up a common office, and took one telephone number. Each driver remained the owner of his cab, and each contributed to a common expense fund. By degrees, this company grew, first a box at Seventh and T streets, then a switchboard, a few more boxes, and more cars. Now comes the news that these men have bought some of the finest cars on the streets of Washington.
"This company has always been open to individual cab owners. By this means, the little fellows are placed in a position to make more money; at the same time, the public is safeguarded; for what, with standard prices, better equipment, and a unified responsibility, the passenger can enjoy a far greater security than would be possible in an ordinary street car. Too, the driver of his own car is more careful than the driver of a company's car," was the statement made by one of the company.
And so, because of the services performed for the benefit of the independent cab drivers on the one hand, and the consideration shown for the safety and comfort of the public on the other, the Howard Cab Company deserves generous commendation and genuine support.
Elks' Field Day A Huge Success
Elks' Field Day A Huge Success
The large crowd that assembled to witness the Elks' Field day held at American League Park, Saturday, July 16, 1927, was treated to an abbreviated but goodly assortment of entertainment, including several good athletic events and a splendid display by Lodges 40 and 85. The Ladies' Auxiliary made a very pleasing appearance.
In the 100-yard dash William Fauntroy of the Community Athletic Association, led a fast field of 14 starters in 11 3-5 seconds; Leroy Coates, of the Boys' Ever Ready Club, Zion Baptist Church, finished second; Percy Brown of Lodge, No. 40, finished third.
The modified mile relay was won by the Celtics, George Hammond winning over William Fauntroy of No. 85, the latter making a game but vain effort to close the 20-yard gap his rival held at the beginning of the final lap. L. Williams, Fletcher Turner, and Ernest Tinmen were with the Celtics.
The Tug of War was won by Lodge, No. 85, which lost no time in dragging Lodge, No. 40, past the line.
The baseball game was won by the team representing Lodge, No. 40, winning 10 to 2, due mainly to superior twirling by Powell and timely hitting. Weal, who started from the box in the first inning, Richardson and Stevens, who replaced him, were hit hard.
Prizes for the events were donated by the People's Clothing Store.

TRAINING SCHOOL SEWING CLASS COMMENDED
An order for thirty-four dozen dresses for wards of the Child's Welfare Division of the District has been placed with the sewing department of the National Training School for Girls, by the Federal Bureau of Efficiency. The reason for this order is that the work recently turned out by the girls has been of such high quality and has been done so economically that the Bureau has found it expedient to repeat former orders.
In a letter to the supervisor, Howard B. Gill, of the Bureau of Efficiency, said: "In our report to the commissioners, we have pointed out that this was a preliminary experiment, and that the successful completion of the dresses which you are about to undertake should demonstrate that the National Training School for Girls can make any kind of garment for the destitute children of the District except boys' heavy suits and overcoats.
"In anticipation of the successful outcome of this work, we have suggested that consideration should be given to the proper equipment of your sewing rooms for the regular manufacture of such garments as a part of the training of your girls."
The classes in sewing are under the instruction of Miss Caflett and Miss Beamon.
BIDDERS WHIST CLUB REPORTS ON BENEFIT
The Saturday Evening Bidders Bridge Club, in a submission of a report on June 4, at the Broadway Theatre and of the tag sales at the Republic, Dunbar, Howard, and Foraker Theatres for the benefit of the flood sufferers of the South, state that their receipts were $198, and their expenditures only $8
Of the net receipts, $140 was sent by check to Dr. George W. Lucas, president of the N.A.A.C.P. New Orleans, La., and $50 was sent to Major John Mages, of the Salvation Army, Vicksburg, Miss. Both amounts were to be expended for the relief of the victims of the flood.
The club expressed special gratitude to Rufus Bvars, manager of the Broadway Theatre, who donated the picture and the use of his theatre. Public acknowledgment is also made by the club for the co-operation of the following persons and organizations: W. E. L. Sanford, manager of the Republic Theatre; Raymond H. Murray, manager of the Dunbar Theatre; Samuel Graham, manager of the Howard Theatre; George Martin, manager of the Foraker Theatre; Robert Pendleton, William C.

MISS FITZHUGH PLANS TO FILE DAMAGE SUIT
Miss Eva Fitzhugh, of 1816 S street, northwest, contemplates filing a suit against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, prominent physician, 1717 U street, northwest, Attorney S. McComas Hawken declared Tuesday.
The suit will be for alleged damages resulting from an operation. Miss Fitzhugh claims that her health has been ruined as the result of an operation performed by Dr. Curtis.
Miss Fitzhugh is under bond of $500 not to breach the peace. She was charged with having threatened Dr. Curtis. The case was aired in police court before Judge Robert E. Mattingly, July 15.
According to Dr. Curtis, Miss Fitzhugh told him that her health was ruined and demanded $780 of him. When he refused to meet her demands, she threatened to do him bodily harm, he testified. On one occasion, he said, she came to Freedmen's Hospital with a bottle of carbolic acid, which he took away from her and emptied in a sink. On three other occasions, e stated, she created scenes in his office, and on one of them carried away with her about $50 worth of his instruments.
Miss Fitzhugh denied having ever demanded any money of Dr. Curtis. She also denied having threatened him. She is represented by Attorneys Hawken and Havell.
NINETEENTH ST. CHURCH ELECTS ASST. PASTOR
NINETEENTH ST. CHURCH ELECTS ASST. PASTOR
Members of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, at their last business meeting, elected Revs. Henry J. Booker and George A. Parker, assistants to Dr. Walter H. Brooks, who in November, will complete forty-five years of continuous service as their pastor.
Rev. Booker was ordained last Wednesday by a council of 126 delegates, representing forty-seven churches. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D.D., was the moderator, Rev. J. I. Loving, D.D., the secretary and Rev. W. D. Jarvis, D.D., the catechizer. The candidate received a rating of 95 per cent in the examination.
At the conclusion of the program Rev. Brooks spoke of his long pastorate at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and of the men who had been baptized by him, and who had been ordained to the ministry through him. Four men of this group were present: Rev James L. Lasper, pastor of Brentwood, Md.; Rev James L. Pinn, D.D., pastor of First Baptist Church, Georgetown; Rev. Joseph H. Lee, D.D., pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, Arlington, Va.; and Rev. Henry J. Booker.
The council and friends were invited to the lecture room where a committee of ladies of the church served refreshments.
Dr. Brooks left the city last Friday, to enjoy the sixty-day vacation the church has granted him. He plans to include in his itinerary Atlantic City, Champaign, Ill., and Detroit, Mich. September 7 to be in attendance at the annual convocation of the National Baptist Convention.
Rev. Brooks and Rev. Parker will conduct the pastoral work during the absence of the pastor. They will preach on alternate Sundays.

SECOND WIFE SEEKS
TO ANNUL MARRIAGE
Mrs. Mildred Boxley Maddox, 2370 Champlain street, northwest, is seeking an annulment of her marriage to Embrie E. Maddox, who is also known as George Edward Maddox, 1436 Swann street, northwest.
In a bill of complaint filed in the District Supreme Court Monday, she alleges that at the time of their marriage, her husband had a living wife from whom he had not been divorced.
Representing himself as being single, her husband obtained a license from the clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and they were married December 27, 1920, Mrs. Maddox says. They lived together for a short period of time.
At the time they went through this marriage ceremony, Mrs. Maddox states the marriage relation between her husband and Viola Maddox was still existing. According to Mrs. Mildred Maddox, her husband, Embrie E. Maddox, was married to Viola Clark in Clayton, Ala., January 2, 1909, and he did not go through the formality of obtaining a divorce before marrying her.
One child has been born as a result of this second marriage. She is Sarah Elsa Maddox, 5 months old.
Mrs. Mildred Maddox asks the court to annul her marriage and declare their child legitimate.

,000.00 Suit SON DENIES WILL GET ELK SESSIONS
Reports that the business sessions as well as the social affairs of the twenty-eighth annual grand lodge session of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World would be held in New York City, August 21 to 28, were emphatically denied by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, Tuesday.
According to a poster advertising the convention, the grand lodge sessions will be held in Mother Zion A. M. E. Church and the grand temple sessions in the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in New York city. The street parade, one of the features of the annual Elk conventions, according to this poster, will also be held in New York city. The public meeting with Governor Alfred E. Smith addressing it and Mayor James J. Walker presenting the keys of the city to the Elks is also listed to be held in New York city.
Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson authorized the issuance of the following denial of such arrangements by Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser:
Issues Denial
"No arrangements have been made by the grand exalted ruler or anyone authorized to act for him whereby any official sessions of the grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will be held in New York city.
"The only agreement entered into that has been sanctioned by the grand exalted ruler provides that all official sessions of the grand lodge and the street parade shall be held in Jersey City, N.J., and only the entertainment features shall be held in New York city. This agreement was entered into on behalf of New York Elks by the general committee on arrangements for the grand lodge and the exalted rulers of Manhattan, Imperial and Monarch lodges.
"Last Friday night the Grand Exalted Ruler and I were the guests of the grand lodge entertainment committee in New York and matters affecting the approach grand lodge session were discussed at length. A spirit of fine fellowship prevailed throughout the conferences and dinner, and no change whatever was made in the program. It was reiterated there that if before the grand lodge convenes, the New York committee should be able to dissolve the injunction against the order in New York state, all sessions, business and social, will be held in New York city under our agreement.
No New Arguments
"During this conference many of our New York friends insisted that New York Elks were so friendly to the grand exalted ruler that he should be willing to take a chance on his liberty and that of his friends and carry all sessions of the convention to New York city, but that was not agreed to.
"Any publicity, statements and inuendos, therefore, that the official sessions of the grand lodge will be held in New York city are absolutely incorrect and unwarranted.
"The public meeting on Monday, August 22, is an official meeting of the grand lodge and will be held in Jersey City, unless the injunction is dissolved and the grand exalted ruler issues a proclamation changing the meetings to New York city."

In a syndicated article which appeared in a number of the great dailies of recent dates, H. L. Mencken, the distinguished literary critic, author and editor of the American Mercury, is of the opinion that "the Negro has a chance to show the world what really is in him."
Mr. Mencken is by trade a critic, but he has shown a decidedly friendly attitude toward the Negro. He has not, however, allowed his friendliness to affect his judgments. What he has to have is therefore, worthy of patient and thoughtful consideration—and his opinion of the Negro ministry, may demand prayerful consideration.
It is Mr. Mencken's opinion that the attention now being lavished upon Negroes in New York is not "a transient fad." In this he is at variance with many educated Negroes. He also says that the "colored brethren . . . add a great deal" to the charm of the circles to which they have been admitted; that they are in the main "dignified, well-mannered, and amusing fellows," and that "their wives, in many cases, are very good looking." That phrase, "in many cases," spoils an otherwise good sentence.
It seems to Mr. Mencken that the Negro's accomplishments have been modest. Except in the matter of the accumulation of wealth, this statement would be true as to all Americans, especially that group calling itself "native." As to the "spirituals" and "jazz," Mr. Mencken is not at all sure that they are of strictly Negro origin. The Negro poets, he thinks, are scarcely deserving of the attention they are receiving and he is of the same opinion as to Negro writers of prose.
We are not going to fall out with him for this, nor for saying that "no other Negro has ever written anything even half so good" as James Weldon Johnson's "Go Down Death."
This calls to mind the dictum of the Latin critic Martial, who said: "De gustibus non est disputandum"; which being translated i.to the vernacular cf our group means: "Don't argue with a man who has a taste for hog head, pig feet and chitterlings." The subjoined paragraph will probably cause as much controversy as any:
Now the Negroes begin to pile up wealth, and their business barons become their principal leaders. It is, I think, a sign of genuine progress if only because it reduces the colored pastor to a minor place. He has led the race since the Civil War and he has made a dreadful botch of it. His influence today, though it is fast declining, is still for the bad. Those Negroes who follow him remain ignorant and ridiculous: Nothing comes out of them save moans.
There is just, a modicum of truth in what Mr. Mencken says here. For the most part, the Negro pastor has been the most forward-looking force within the limits of the race. The Negro today is beset by two classes of pastors that constitute a constant menace to progress: the hopelessly ignorant pastor from whom as Mr. Mencken says, "nothing comes out save moans"; and the pastor who is the serf of some party manager and demagogue, a mere "worker," hanging around political headquarters, receiving money, distributing money, making stump

MUSIC THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
More and more in this progressive age we find that music is revealing an unhitherto known power over man, magic in its intensity and tranquil in its emotions, wielding an influence that is at once pretentious and commanding in the field of art and culture. In education it affords a medium of intellectual development among the masses that is easy to assimilate and conducive to spiritual refinement.
Music just now is gripping the world. There is a large outpouring of musical fervor and acclaim everywhere on land and sea. Never before in the history of the world has music played so important a

FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL
For a long time the condition of affairs at Freedmen's Hospital has engaged the attention of the public-spirited elements of the community. While there has been no charge involving moral turpitude or any intimation of conduct amounting to misfeasance or malfeasance, the opinion is quite thoroughly disseminated through the community that conditions have reached that complexion where it can be asserted that there exists discord and demoralization in the personnel of the hospital; that things have come to a standstill, and are in a rut; that the hospital as an institution by and for Negroes has less influence in the education of the Negro community in matters of health and hygiene than other hospitals in the District where Negroes, if received at all, are received as a matter of grace and not as a matter of right; that there exists in the personnel of the hospital a feeling of indifference, if not an absolute want of feeling, to the claims of the suffering and the unfortunate, and finally that inefficiency and incompetence exist on every hand.
It was announced some time ago that Secretary of the Interior Work had ordered a survey of conditions at the hospital by a competent committee of experts. What conclusions were reached by this committee have never been made public. Their conclusions should be made public, for reasons which will readily occur to every public-spirited, fair-minded man.
The present surgeon-in-chief has been in his present position since October, 1901, or a period of nearly twenty-six years. No other chief administrative officer in the District of Columbia has held his place so long. Experience in administration shows that no chief administrator is efficient for so long a period as twenty-five years in one place. In that time a man has given all of stimulating force that there is in him; he then begins to grow stale, to become rigid and fossilized, and to slip back. The experience and the practice of all the basic industries of the country support this principle.
So far as human experience teaches anything, there is no reason to expect reform in an institution whose chief administrator has become superannuated in years of service.
Some of our contemporaries are celebrating the sixty-fourth anniversary of the birth of Professor Kelly Miller, who was born in South Carolina, July 23, 1863. It seems a little curious to select one's sixty-fourth birthday for a celebration, unless he be in the army, where retirement takes place at that age. However, there is no need to look at the matter too analytically, for Professor Kelly Miller has lived well and honorably. As a pamphleteer, he has made substantial contribution to the progress of the race. He is known from one end of the country to the other. His life has been singularly pure and upright.
It is a pleasure to give this testimony, and to wish for the Professor many more years of active and productive living.
part in the moral and spiritual awakening of nations as now. Even the vast universe is but a symphony of music with its myriad of twinkling stars, silver moons and burning suns, subdued in its ethereal theme only by space and time. The father of music, Bach, could he but look down through the dimly lighted vista of years and now vision the wide manifestation of genuine interest in music in the world of today his nimble hands would possibly waver with mingled joy and surprise at its profound progress through increasingly rapid growth.
The world war was the vehicle that unconsciously found the intrinsic value in music to humanity's waning spirit as the common language of all mankind although it has thus been since the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy. It took, however, the weapon of international strife and wicked bedlam through rivers of blood
KELLY MILLER
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1927
and tears to arouse man from his century of subconscious musical slumbers. The dawn of a happier world is about breaking over the horizon of time and it is becoming gradually apparent to the human mind that music is a world panacea, a leveler of human emotions, a kindred touch both of heart and mind to the black, white, red, brown and yellow races of the earth. Let's see now! When Maitland and Hegenberger in their army plane landed on the shores of Hawaii recently the natives were there in large numbers sitting up all night long and through the day passing the time in dancing and singing with native instruments. Across the Atlantic over in London last week, two American Indians entertained a group of notables with racial dance and song.
At Ottawa, Canada, a few days since one thousand voices participated in a chair in celebration of Canada's diamond jubilee of the confederation in front of the Houses of Parliament and Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, American "lone eagle" as guest, heard them sing. Here in America, Washington, this week at the Pan-American Union was heard the music of Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and music of the Incas (Indian) which is representative of the Latin countries, South and Central America. Colored American artists have appeared in French opera, before the King and Queen of England, in German and Italian halls of music.
These are but few of the many to substantiate the fact that music knows no color, race or country and it is the one language understood and felt similarly by all human beings. The thought of discrimination in music practiced by any particular race or group is merely an acknowledgement of inferior ideals and lack of true intelligence but the world at large recognizes music as art and they who enter within its fair portals may without fear drink deeply of its refreshing melodies.
Music therefore in its spiritual aspect is the height of human intelligence. In it lies the germ of human intercourse and better understanding with a language all its own, universal in character savoring of the dawn of that millennium we read about. Music caused man to recognize his better self, not as a spiritual outcast, mental degenerate, or a meandering specie of the human family. It made man to know and realize self as an integral and definite part of the whole human stock, the world unit we might essay, lifting him up the winding stairway of time to the beautiful blue sky of spiritual consciousness, out among the stars of mental comprehension learning the sum total of God's own handwork for all time and eternity.

FRIDAY:
KIDDIES' CORNER
Checkers Enters the California Derby
On a fine balmy morning in April, the sun rose in all its splendor and glory on the glistening "Kenwood Stables," a bit over 28 miles north of Sacramento. Down the paved road to the extensive Kenwood race horse stables came a motorcycle, put-put-put-put! Screech! Scherech! Pur-r-r! A dirty faced lad with a pair of dusty ragged overalls and showing a set of perfect teeth toore in the yard and at last collided with a post, and head-over heels, he landed plop-splash! in the horse trough.
Up like a flash jumped the boy wet and dripping, looking for all the world, like a wet chicken. Roaring with laughter, the groomes ran towards the lad and slapped him on the back, as if he had done a great deed. Seeing that everyone one around him was friendly, Checkers soon became chummy, and it was not long before he sauntered the walk to the stables of Kenwood's fastest and finest horses. Standing back, poised against a newly white-washed stall, admiring the sleek animals, he sighed deeply.
Checkers was a wanderer of the open spaces. Only nineteen years old, he had the appearance of a twenty-two year old man. This day's tumble, beside landing him in the watering trough, had also ushered him into a new world. Gazing into space, Checkers thought over his life. At the age of fourteen, he ran away from his home in Denver and had hopped a freight train which was headed for Sacramento. Here he had been
learning that human sympathy is the bond that binds the whole world together.
Mrs. Mary Louise Curtis Bok, Philadelphia philanthropist, and founder of the Curtis Institute of Music, realized its truthfulness when she recently remarked "We found music the best way to search out for the sympathy of these young people (residents of her city's foreign quarters) and music is the best means of gaining the understanding of children. . . ." It is equally as true among adults as children. Make music your everyday language, learn more of it.
C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor
safely sheltered by an understanding aunt until his nineteenth birthday. The lust for adventure returned again to him. He bought a secondhand motorcycle—and there he was.
Being greatly elated over his new surroundings he walked on. Approaching the end of the stables he perceived a boy trying to feed a bucking horse. Checkers entered the stall. The boy bellowed "Look out there, Bud, 'Satrap' will run you down for sure!" Checkers laughed and stepped forward toward the impatient animal. Instantly, the animal eyed Checkers with quizzical looks.
"Throw me the bag quick," Checkers called. The boy addressed gave Checkers the feed-bag. Dropping to his knees, he looked up at Satrap. By that time quite a crowd had gathered around the door. Then to their astonishment, Satrap followed suit after Checkers. This lad conquer the spirit of Satrap? Satrap the most haughty, nervous and most prized horse of Kenwood Stables. The news spread around like wildfire. Naturally the story reached the ears of the supervisor.
Checkers was led before him by the boy who had groomed Satrap Shaking his hand heartily, the man inquired his name. Ten minutes later, Checkers appeared at the door smiling broadly. He had been engaged to ride Satrap in the California Derby for the coast championship!

A DAY IN THE COUNTRY
Dear Editor: Miss Ethel Hart, my Sunday school teacher, carried her class out in Maryland near Rockville, one day during the early part of this month. Claude Terrrell, one of her school friends, carried us in a truck. When we arrived there a lady let us park the truck in her yard until we were ready to leave. Two of her little boys led us to a place where we could bathe but only three of the girls went in bathing. The little boys also brought us some water to drink.
We had such a very nice time that Miss Hart says that she will get Mr. Terrell to carry us on another picnic real soon.

A MESSAGE By Louise Johns (15)
When the evening sun is setting and the lights are turned down dim; take out your pad and pencil and get them all in trim. For in a hot, hot office not knowing what to do—your editor, kind and patient, is waiting to hear from you.
Some kiddies are always up and doing their very best, but others still sit back waiting and taking a long, long rest. Of course some kiddies send in news but we know they are very few, so let us all start writing and see what we can do.
We say we love our editor and will stick by him 'til death, but, kiddies, we don't wake up I am sure we will get left. Since there is nothing else to say, and no more I can do—I will close, hoping this little message will mean something nice to you.
THE NEGRO GIRL

bathers, a short distance away.
“And hundreds of bathers there
were splashing in the salt-waters
of the Patuxent. Young people
paraded the beach, kiddies went
wading, and the old veteran, pipe
in mouth and flask (of water) on
his hip took to the fishing boats.
"Twas a gay gathering.

AFTER WAR TIMES
A Boy's Life in Reconstruction Days
By T. Thomas Fortune
CHAPTER 2
A Slap and Flight
I don't know just how old Timothy was when his mother was sole to Ely P. Moore, a merchant of Marianna. Moore and his wife were a very kindly disposed couple and treated Sarah Jane and her children with unusual consideration; so also did their three daughters and son. The children were playmates and there was little in their treatment to show that they and Timothy and his two sisters were other than members of the Moore family. But the mother knew. The fact that she was a slave rankled in her young bosom and soured her amiable disposition, insofar that she appeared always to be discontented and restless, with seldom a smile or a laugh to indicate that life for her was other than a curse and burden. She was old enough to know and to feel, while her children were too young to realize the awful condition into which the had been born.
Timothy remembers very little about slavery. His first awakening was early in the civil war when Confederate soldiers from all parts of Florida west of the Chattahoochee river gathered in and marched out of Marianna, many of them never to return. It appeared to the youngster that they made a brave and handsome showing, but there was no happiness shown by any of them. They realized that they were engaged in a very serious business. Soon after these soldiers passed on to face death in a hopeless cause, Timothy picked up a big bunch of Confederate paper money. He did not know its value, and he promptly turned it value, but he promptly turned it over to Mr. Moore. Timothy possessed a very large bump of honesty and it grew larger with his years. Some are born honest and can't help it while others are born dishonest and can't help it, and the honest are often victimized and undone by the dishonest.
And, then, a great calamity came upon Marianna and the old and youthful white ones who were not eligible to go to the front. They were the home guard. When it was rumored that a detachment of Union soldiers was marching on the village the home guard got together and determined to repel the invaders. The battle was short, sharp, and decisive. The home guard was routed. A great many of them were killed, and all the country-sides were in mourning. Dead bodies and shotguns and pistols were scathe'd far and wide, and it was some weeks before they were gathered in—the bodies to be buried and the firearms to be treasured.
I don't know unto this day what the provocation was, but one afternoon, a few weeks after the Yankees passed through. Mr. Moore called Timothy into the Big House and was giving him a good thrashing, the first he had ever given him, when his mother came on the scene, long hair flying and eyes flashing, with a dishrag in her right hand. Without hesitation she began to belabor Mr. Moore in the face with the dishrag, giving him a rasping tongue-lashing the while for daring to strike her child! When Moore turned on her she grabbed Timothy and made her way out. She dropped the boy at the back stains, where he continued to pierce the air with his wailings. But she did not stop. Realizing that she had done the unpardonable thing, she kept going and was soon outside the big yard and making for the hills beyond, where she was soon lost to sight. She just seemed to Timothy to fade away. Forgetting the whipping he had received he began all over to cry aloud and louder at the flight and disappearance of his mother. She went to her husband's mother's home, on the outskirts of the village, and Mr. Moore made no effort whatever to recover her.
She remained in hiding about three weeks, when it was announced that the war was at end and that all slaves were free. Uncle Tom and his good wife, the other help, filled her place, both as to service and caring for Timothy and his sisters. Uncle Tom was a real character. He weighed about 350 pounds and he was a jolly and good natured as the day is long. Everybody loved Uncle Tom.
As soon as freedom was declared Timothy's mother returned; packed her belongings and moved into a home of her own, provided by her husband, on land belonging to Joseph W. Russ, who sustained relations of close interest and sympathy with Timothy's father which I was never able to understand. It proved mighty helpful in the trying times ahead. The high spirited mother freed herself before Lincoln's Proclamation reached Marianna, and she refused to remain a day in the owner's house when she was free to order her own life. She knew what the horrors of slavery were and she rejoiced, as 4,500,000 of her race did, when the word reached her that she was free.
Timothy was too young when freedom came to look into the past or into the future very far, but events moved rapidly in those days. He was soon to wake up and take notice of the great changes which freedom wrought, automatically, in the village and its people. The community was still under the spell of the close of the war and the freedom of the slaves. I remember, when announcement of the suicide of former Governor John Milton, one of the most respected of the white citizens and planters, was made. He was not strong enough, at his age, to face the failure of the Confederate Causes and his own personal loss

Many organizations interested in standardizing traffic regulations, such as the American Automobile Association, recommend that pedestrians keep to the left of oncoming traffic on highways and country roads when there are no sidewalks or paths. In other words, a person walking should keep to the opposite side of the road from vehicles going in the same direction. This, it is argued, is safer for the pedestrian because it is easier for him to keep his eye on the vehicles coming towards him. There is, however, much difference in opinion and practice.

Black Sox Colesville
Sam's Scripts
The Orientals, Union League leaders are setting quite a pace for the other teams to match With Elzie Richards at the helm, the southwest aggregation has played consistent and brainy ball.
Home town folks are expecting big things of Ted Thompson in the coming tournaments. The 1925 National Champion is entered in the Easterns as well as the Nationals and he will bear the hope of local fans in each of the tourneys.
Francis Lynn, Armstrong High School hurler, was released outright by the Washington Pirates last Monday. He then cast his lot with the Hillsdales.
It is to be deplored when a playing manager of a Union League team will refuse to conduct his players to fulfill a scheduled engagement. The Washington Giants, according to Mr. Hayes Jones, forfeited to the Alexandria Lafayettes last Sunday because the player-manager claimed that he was cheated on his last appearance in Alexandria.
If baseball teams would play more baseball and less the part of alibi artists, the national pastime would receive a decided boost.
It was announced by Manager Joe Harris of the Potomac Giants that he had recently signed Lefty Joe Smith, spitball pitcher. The addition of a moist ball finger to the Giants' staff compares it favorably with any other staff in the loop.
A record crowd is expected to attend the Oriental Tiger-Black Sox engagement at Union League Park, Sunday. With over 2500 people at South Capitol and P streets, northeast, last Sunday and nearly a thousand at the Park, the meeting of these rivals should result in the combination of the rooting forces.
Some spectacular bits of fielding were turned in in the Madison Stars-Black Sox games last Sunday. H. Turner, Ford and Grant were the local luminaries while D. Turner and Johnson shone for the losers. pick up of the fleet Well's slow Harry Turner's fast run in and bounder followed by his snap throw to Ford at first which nipped the runner by a hair was great, while the one-hand stabs of line drives by Ford and Grant were of the most spectacular variety.
Johnson's stellar play at first base was excelled only by the superb work of D. Jenkins. This worthy player is handicapped by the loss of an arm, but with the one arm and hand he accomplishes as much and as capably as a many player, with both his appendages. His extraordinary knack at relieving his throwing hand of the ball after having caught it brought much enthusiasm from the stands. He would catch the pill-and toss it into the air, during which time he would drop his glove. As the ball descended he would reach up and catch it. Thus he was able to throw. This action, on his part, consumed such a small amount of time that he hal scarcely caught the ball before it was on its way back into the infield.
BRIGHTWOOD-MD. WHITE SOX DIVIDE DOUBLE BILL
BRIGHTWOOD DIAMOND. — The Maryland White Sox journeyed into town last Sunday and were able to win one and lose one with the Brightwood Highlanders. The visitors took the first game by a 12-8 score and lost the night-cap, 14-8. The games marked the initial meeting of these teams in the Washington Tribune League, and rivalry was intense.

TIGERS UPSET DOPE, WIN OVER ANACOSTIA A'S
ANACOSTIA FIELD. — Manager Braxton and his Colesville Tigers upset all the dope by handing the chesty Anacostia Athletics a 14-8 liking on the latter's diamond last Sunday. The Colesville lads were best in the slugging bee. Their 22 bingles were used to better advantage than the Athletics' 19. Jackson, on the rubber for the winners pitched creditably. He secured a total of 10 strike-outs, which performance the Tigers consider quite an achievement.

FORESTVILLE RALLY BEATS ALEXANDRIANS
FORESTVILLE RALLY BEATS ALEXANDRIANS
FORESTVILLE, Md. — Errors at critical moments by Manager Johnson, National A C. first baseman, cost Porter the loss of a well deserved victory over the Forestville Athletics here last Sunday. The home team, coming from behind overtook a 7-run lead the Nations held for 8 innings, and won out 8-7 at the close of the eleventh. The affair was a pitcher's battle. Porter did the slabbing for the visitors and held his opponents at bay until his manager's errors caused his downfall. His adversary, Holmes, on the mound for Forestville whiffed an even dozen Nats.

ARMY WAR COLLEGE
The Togans A. C. in their first appearance on their home grounds last Sunday halted the strong nad fast traveling Army War College nine in two games of the Washington Tribune Baseball League. The first game, a 15-10 slugfest was a barrage of pill smacking from start to finish. Each team got 18 hits. The entire Togan team took part in the hitting of the first game. Only Montgomery failed to connect. The nightcap was a pitcher's duel. Allen and Bush gained the 6-4 verdict over Hill. Green and Betters clouted homers for the winners.

HIGH ENTHUSIASM FOR TIGER- SOX GAME
Having at last heeded the demand of Washington fandom, Managers Sheffield and Richards of the Washington Black Sox and Oriental Tigers, respectively, announced to their followers last Sunday that these two teams were to meet in a twin bill, Sunday, July 24, at Union League Park. A display of much enthusiasm greeted the announcement at the park. The Black Sox have met and easily conquered all their opposition this season just as the Orientals have experienced little difficulty in eclipsing the whole Union League field, and a contest between these teams should prove interesting as well as attractive.
The Southwest team has defeated the LeDroit Tigers, Washington Giants, Myrtles, and All-Star aggregations with consistency. Of some 30 odd games, the Oriental clan has lost only 5, and several of these were due to probable staleness.
The Black Sox, on the other hand, have also established an enviable reputation. Having defeated such combinations as the Union Printers, white commercial champions, the Mohawks, white semi-pro titleholders, Pottstown Giants, of Harrisburg, Pa., Madison Stars, of Philadelphia, and the Ferndale Athletics, white of Baltimore, Manager Sheffield's clan is experiencing difficulty in obtaining satisfactory competition.
The Orientals present a formidable array of ball tossers, and they are too hard pressed to give their followers, worth while ball games. The battle Sunday should be a whopper and while we make no predictions as to the outcome, the rival players are expressing absolute confidence.

MADISON LOSE TWICE TO SOX
MADISON LOSE TWICE TO SOX
The Madison Stars, one of the leading semi-pro teams in Philadelphia, Pa., met defeat in double-header Sunday, May 17, at the hands of Washington's finest, the Black Sox, by the scores 7-1 and 41. The Stars boast of something that very few fans of this city have ever seen and never realized they would ever see, a star one-armed ball player. The loss of his left arm seemed to be no handicap to the stellar Danny Turner, who easily was the star of the Madison's. Although Johnson, first and Thorpe, behind the bat were by no means weak performers. George Smith, Washington's best southpaw, performed masterfully on the mound in the first, while Sam Lacy, the submarine twirler, pitched stellar ball in the shortened nightcap. The fielding of George Ford and "Puds" Brown alongside good plays by "Soup" Turner, were of the calibre that few fans have seen on the diamond this season. Crump, the Sox recruit, played left field, and while he didn't garner a safe bingle proved that he is a valuable addition to the roster of the Sox.

ARLINGTON, Va.—The Arlington Athletics kept up their pace in the Washington Tribune Baseball League, last Sunday by taking a double-header from the Diamond K nine; 15-0 and 6-3.
Two fast double plays, in which R. Scott, Jones and Brooks figured kept the Diamond K's from scoring in their attempts in the matinee game. Proctor, visiting hurler, exhibited a puzzling assortment of twisters. He fanned 13 Athletics. H. Scott with a home run, triple, double and single, in 5 trips to the tee, carried off batting honors.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE ACTIVITIES
The Departmental League has dwindled down to a three-club league composed of G. P. O. Treasury and Post Office, the Veterans' Bureau and State Department apparently dropping out.
This week's play will have a great bearing on the outcome of the second series and may decide the winner, G. P. O. is likely to win second half thereby again winning championship.
Beckwith, the mound pitcher of the Treasury, leads the pitchers with 2 victors and no defeats.
"Toots" Brown is out to win second half base stealing honors now having a good lead.
The G. P. O. are again likely to have a leader in batting in the second series as Braddic, Ross Bland and Brown are hitting hard, Baylor of Treasury, is his team's leader, while Hope of Post Office leads his team.

Orientals vs.Ledroits
The Oriental Tigers, Pride of the Point, took the struggling Le-Droit Tigers into camp in their Union League battle at South Capitol and P streets, last Sunday. The score was 31. Nearly 3000 persons lined the chalk marks as "Blackfoot" Scriver outpitched Kaiser and Wiggins in one of the best played and most interesting games seen in Washington this season. The LeDroits with their rejuvenated line-up were unable to connect consistently enough with the deliveries of the Oriental ace, and as a result the league leaders were able to gain a full game on the second place Myrtles who were humbly accepting a licking at the hands of the lowly Piedmonts.
The LeDroits threatened in their half of the ninth when with 2 men on base, Scriver found himself confronting the hard hitting Sherman Baylor. The LeDroit first baseman was unable to deliver and Elzie Richards' tossers added another victory to their growing list.
Brooks was the individual star of the afternoon. His double scored 2 of the winners' 2 tallies.

The courts are correctly placed for sun conditions, and grandstands insure a gallery that will have a perfect view of the play without handicapping the players.
Four-and-a-Half at Maine avenue, southwest.-The Black Barons of the Washington Tribune League, Class B literally swamped the Washington Pirates here last Sunday. The Pirates suffered the worst licking of the season when the Barons piled up a 19-5 score over them. The winners obtained 21 hits. Dixon with a quartet of bingles led the sluggers. Little Paul Townsend, the Pirates' versatile receiver, continued his relentless hitting with 4 safeties in 4 trips to the platter. Townsend, so far, has hit safely in every Tribune League contest.

ELITE PANTHERS AHEAD IN SLUGGING MATCH
BROOKLAND, D. C.—The Elite Panther-Dulin and Martin batting bee of last Sunday was decided in favor of the former by the score of 17-13. The winners garnered 22 hits.
Tim Braddic proved the fielding weakness as well as the batting demon. He led in the commissions of miscues with 3, but bedeemed himself with the stick by getting 5 hits in 6 time at bat. Josh Coleman was next with 4 hits. C. Bell and Morgan led the Dulin and Martin sluggers.

The New York Tennis Association will also hold its annual tourney. The Savoy Cup, a leg trophy, will be competed for.
An entertaining program of social events has been set for the week, and Bordentown promises to elaborate so that the week of the Eastern Tournaments should rival that of any recent athletic program.
The matches are to be played through the week. The preliminary matches are to be decided in the two best of three advantage sets. The semi-pro finals will be decided in the three best of five advantage sets.
The Eastern this season, promises to draw many of the high lights in tennis. The entries of Saitch, 1926 champion, Hudlin Wilkerson, Williams and a number of others are already assured

BIG MID-NIGHT RAMBLE, FRIDAY 12:15 SHARP
"SORROWS OF SATAN"
With Menjou at the Broadway
For Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present Marie Corelli's famous novel, now brought to the screen directed by the one and only D W. Griffith "Sorrows of Satan," with Adolphe Menjou as Satan, supported by such stellar stars as Ricardo Cortez, Carol Dempster and Lya De Putti. This is a modern Satan immaculate, velvet gloved, irresistible, a Satan who can offer motor cars, beautiful women, and undreamed of wealth vs. the love and devotion of a true and lovely girl in which there is a struggle for mastery. See who wins.
On Tuesday, for one day only, "The Scarlet Saint" with Mary Astor and Lloyd Hughes. It is the old story of youth being chained to old age in marriage and the folly of the sin that follows.
On Wednesday and Thursday the picture that you missed on the first showing that you are waiting to see—"The Fourth Commandment" with Belle Bennett, Mary Carr, Henry Victor, Robert Agnew and June Marlowe; Every father, son, mother and daughter with all mother-in-laws should see this wonderful picture, "Honor thy Father, etc."
The week will close on Friday and Saturday with a picture that you will regret if you let the title fool you. It is one of the season's best—"Slide, Kelly, Slide"—with William Haines, Sally O'Neil, and Harry Carey. If you never liked baseball, this feature will change your mind.
The Black and White Syncopators will furnish the melodies.
"BROADWAY AFTER DARK"
AT LINCOLN NEXT
WEEK
On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, July 24, 25, 26, there will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre, "Broadway After Dark" with a cast including Adolph Menjou, Anna Nelson, Carmel Myers, Will Lewis, Norman Shearer, and many others. This play is adapted from the great Owen Davis play by the same name and is directed by Mona Bell. This is the same production that created the great sensation some years ago. It depicts it a vivid manner life on the greatest street in the greatest city of the world, the place where romance and realism go hand in hand.
You have no doubt read about what goes on on Broadway after dark, seen photograms of the great "White Way," and have longed to
see the sort of people and the kind of lives that they live there. In seeing this picture next week you will have the opportunity of satisfying your long craving as to just what goes on after dark in the big city, and where the people spend their time.
On Wednesday and Thursday,
July 27, 28, will be seen "Love 'em
and Leave 'em." In which is feat-
ured the beautiful and petite Evelyn Brent. This is a modern story of
modern youth system of loving
which is "meet 'em an treat 'em,
love 'em and leave 'em." It is a picture of the remarkable contrast of two sisters, one is steadfast, dependable and self-sacrificing, and the other young, fickle and grasping, who goes marching unscathed
through endless flirtations and
giving no thought to discarded
suitors.
On Friday and Saturday will be seen Jetta Gouldal in "Fighting Love" supported by Victor Varconi and Henry B. Wathall. This is a romantic love story of passion and self-sacrifice and shifts from the palaces of Italy to the hot, pitiless, sandy wastes of the African desert. In this picture is carried out the tradition that is never old, of a woman married to one man and madly in love with another. This is a tremendous picture teeming with color, romance, action and drama.
On the stage for Saturday only will be seen three big talent shows at 5: 715 and 9:15.
"DASHING DINA" AT HOWARD
NEXT WEEK
For one week beginning July 25 will be seen Eddie Lemons" "Dashing Dina." This is the show that greatly pleased the patrons of the Howard during the early part of last fall, only this time it has a bigger and better cast than before. The cast includes Eddie Lehons, Stringbeans Price, Homer Hubbard, Charles Barry, Leroy Phillips, Willie Taylor, Jack Wiggins, Rogers and Rogers, Christina Grav, Jackie Young. Dot Lois, Isabelle Price and the beautiful dashing creole chorus.
In addition to the showing on the stage of "Dashing Dina" will be shown on the screen on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Eddie Cantor. in "Special Delivery." Eddie Cantor is the outstanding comedy king of the screen. He brings to us in this new picture a new slant on the life of a postal clerk who is in love. He is just as apt in his absent mindedness to deliver his lunch in "face of a package as not. It is while going through many of these antics that the story reaches the height of a
mail carrier's goal. While watching the contestants of a black bottom contest, a piece of ice from the balcony above falls inside of his collar and while trying to get rid of it he jumps into the center of the costest and finally wins the cup. The whole story is brought to a delightful climax in his finally falling in love with the waitress in the corner cafe.
On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be seen the "Love Gamble" with Lillian Rich and Robert Frazier. This production is based on the popular novel, "Peggy" from Beacon Hill, it is a picture of Bohemian life on Beacon Hill, the literary and artistic rendezvous of Boston. The narrative tells of a girl who loved a married man, unknowingly, whom she met while seeking a business career. There are thrilling complications and the solutions are within the limits of ordinary reason. The picture is notable for its lack of hocus, and its truth to the facts of life on Beacon Hill. On Friday night beginning at 12:15 sharp, the regular midnight ramble will be held. Seats for the midnight ramble will be on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday the week before the show.
BETTY BLYTHE, SIREN OF THE SCREEN, AT THE REPUBLIC
"Snowbound" featuring the beautiful Betty Blythe will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Sunday and Monday, July 24 and 25. The story is one of many complications that beset the path of a boy and girl who to get an inheritance embroil themselves into some very embarrassing situations. The scenes take place in an isolated Adirondack lodge during the height of a blizzard. The beautiful Betty Blythe plays the part of a siren who is anxious to become the wife of the young heir. Robert Agnew, Lillian Rich and George Fawcett support Miss Blythe in "Snowbound." Betty Blythe will be remembered for her great role in "She" and "The Queen of Sheba," "Frisco Sally Levy" with Sally O'Neil and Roy B'Levy will be the feature attraction on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 26 and 27. This is another of "The Cohen and Kelly" type picture, Frisco Sally, played by Sally O'Neil is a San Francisco flapper with a Jewish father and an Irish mother, with two lovers, an Irish traffic cone and a Jewish stock broker, Sally, in a fit of rage leaves home and becomes a dancing star, but she never forgets home—and the climax of the story is one of the sweetest bits of real life anyone ever saw on the screen.
"The Beauty Shoppers" starring Mae Busch supported by a star cast will be at the Republic on Thursday and Friday, July 28 and 29. Vanity, thy name is woman, And "The Beauty Shoppers" is a
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1927

Life in a big city along the great white way
Footlights
By "Mac"
"Midnight Steppers," playing the Howard Theatre this week, impresses me as a fast-moving revue. Above all things else, it has plenty of life, plenty of pep, and a bevy of pretty girls. It is another one of Leonard Harper's productions. About the funniest thing in the show, and incidentally, the act which brings the biggest hand, is the skit portrayed by Dewey Brown, better known in Washington as "Limehouse," and Jimmy Johnson I wonder if "Limehouse" is still "jus' a-flyin.'" His witty remarks always take well, and it won't be a surprise to me to hear the fellows about the street using this expression just as they did the one he made popular in his previous appearance here, "da ol' gal's got mennay."
Jimmy, of course, is always a big attraction. Aside from this being his home-town, he is good; naturally, he goes over with a wow. However, his ability entitles him to just as enthusiastic a reception before any audience, anywhere. He seems to have a monopoly on song recitations, and the two I've heard him use were exceedingly good and his elocation was fine. His featured song this week is "Just Like the Butterfly that's Caught in the Rain."
Then, there's Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd, the ever popular comedians on the Howard stage. Billy pulls his old judge scene, but in spite of its age, I must say it's pretty good. Beside, the audience seemed to like it, so there can't be any kick.
The three Dixie Songbirds, who made such a big hit with the audience when they appeared here with "Lucky Sambo" last month, need no introduction. They are Hilda Perleno, Birleanna Blanks, and Amanda Randolph. Their songs go over big, as they deserve to, and the audience, when I was there, insisted on having more of it. Hilda, as I told you when she appeared here before, is a former Howard University student.
The dancing team of Paulis and Darrell is a treat. The grace of movement and rhythm of dancing portrayed by them deserves commendation. And speaking of dancing, the Alabama Four, including Joe Wilson, Sam Burnham, Eddie Schenault, and Joe Phillips, can really go.
But here's something which is not listed among the stars, but which I think deserves mention in this column—the little bathing girl act of Lindy Garrett, one of the chorus girls. She should be a coming star, with her supple body and her agility of limbs. Such an act,

coln should be given credit for picking out good numbers for the entertainment of their patrons between the showings of the movies.
Local talent, the Black and White Syncapators are still proving popular at the Broadway on Seventh street.
"Rang Tang," another colored revue on Broadway, featuring Miller and Lyles, opened Tuesday
night, and, with Ethel Waters, show opening the night before, makes it, as the New York World critic says, "look pretty dark along Broadway." "Rang Tang" is credited with being pretty good; at least, it isn't dull. And Miller and Lyles are mentioned as portraying that native wit which made them famous. The show is said to have just a bit too much finery and feathers in the scenery.
