Only Two Miner Normal School Graduates Appointed STUDENT KILLS SELF SUIT FILED AGAINST FOUR POLICEMEN FOR RANSACKING HOME FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 7 Only T SUIT FILED AU FOUR POLIC RANSA Charges filed by Attorney Royal A. Hughes Monday, requested that Major Edwin B. Hesse, Superintendent of Police, investigate into the alleged illegal entrance of the home of Charles Reeder, 623 Gordon avenue, northeast, by members of the Metropolitan Police Force. The raid, it is alleged, took place on the afternoon of Saturday, August 28, and was conducted by Officer Arthur T. Fihelly. He was accompanied by three other officers of the Ninth precinct. According to the bill Major Hesse received, Fihelly acted upon authority granted him through a search warrant, but that he exceeded his authority. It was also alleged that the warrant was procured maliciously and without due cause upon an aididavit sworn to by Sadie Cash, an alleged "police informer" who resides in the neighborhood. Break Door Open Fihelly, came to the house when no one was at home. Mr. Reeder asserts that he was visiting his wife who has been ill for eight months at Providence Hospital. According to his story, the windows of his home were open, making entrance to the house easily accessible. This fact, however, was apparently ignored by the raiding parties. When Mr. Reeder returned home he found the front door broken open. Entering the place he found everything scattered about and the place in a generally disturbed condition. Pictures were torn from their hangings and broken and much of his personal belongings were thrown about in the yard, according to the complaint. The affidavit, which resulted in the issuance of the search warrant, declared that the Miss Sadie Cash is alleged to have purchased a half gallon of , corn whiskey from a party named Mackey, whose first BOY EXONERATED FOR KILLING HIS PAL LAST JUNE BOY EXONERATED FOR KILLING HIS PAL LAST JUNE The grand jury last Tuesday exonerated David S. Grayson, 17-year-old boy, on a charge of homicide in connection with the stabbing of Thomas Reynolds, 17 years old, in the vestibule of the Bruce school, on June 17. The two youths engaged in the death struggle in the school vestibule while several hundred pupils of the Bruce school were inside attending a play given by the eighth grade graduating class. Reynolds' jugular vein was severed. He died before reaching the Garfield hospital. Grayson claimed self-defense. Neither boy was a pupil at the Bruce school. Reynolds formerly attended there, but had left school. Grayson was not known in the neighborhood, according to the report of Principal M. Grant Lucas to the District public school officials. MRS. BOOKER GRANTED AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE Mrs. Delia Booker, 460 Clark's court, southwest, was awarded a final decree for absolute divorce last Monday by Justice Siddons from Harry Booker, whom she married in Newport News, Va., September 13, 1919. Attorney Royal A. Hughes appeared for the wife. Mrs. Booker charged that her husband deserted her and lived with Carrie Green in H. street, southwest. The husband and the correspondent refused to appear and contest the suit. John H. Wilson was appointed by the court to defend. Washington Tribune THE CONGRESSIONAL FIRST ST., S.

PUBLISHED Two Min UDI GAINST CEMENT FOR ACKING HOME BETTER PUPIL CONDUCT, AIM IN SCHOOLS Emphasis will be put in divisions 10 to 13 of the District public schools this year upon the carrying out of policies which will result in a better pupil product, First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson and Assistant Superintendents H. H. Long and Eugene A. Clark are agreed. There will be no important personnel changes this year, Mr. Wilkinson announced last Monday. Changes in the personnel of the school officials last year were practically a re-organization of the administrative force. The present officers will continue the educational program begun last year for better and more thorough supervision and administration of the schools with a view to securing better teaching and a better pupil product, Mr. Wilkinson stated. Teachers Better Prepared The school system, he believes, is better officered, and the teachers are better prepared. Closer supervision, better administration and a more scientific approach to the solution of individual problems will bring better results, he and his associates declare. Mr. Long let it be known that the department of research has about completed its survey and is now ready to be put into operation in the classrooms in the consideration of individual problems in the classification and grading of pupils through mental tests. Mr. Wilkinson expressed gratification with the large attendance of school officers at schools this summer. He is very pleased that so many teachers pursued work in various institutions also. "It indicates a healthy state of affairs in divisions 10 to 13," he says, "when such a high professional attitude is taken by so many officers and teachers who take advantage of courses in the leading institutions for self-improvement." Among the officers who went away this summer for further study of modern practices were Mr. Wilkinson to the University of Pennsylvania; Mr. Long, Harvard; L. L. Perry, supervising principal in charge of special activities, Rome, N.Y.; J. C. Bruce, supervising principal, University of Pennsylvania; Mrs. W. C. Mayer, director of primary instruction, University of Pennsylvania. G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong Technical High, Harvard; Walter L. Smith, principal of Dunbar High, University of Vermont; Miss Mineola Kirkland, principal of the Shaw Junior High School, Harvard; J. Arthur Turner, principal of the Miner Normal school, Columbia; R. N. Mattingly, principal of the Francis Junior High, Columbia; R. L. Nixon, Columbia; Miss Ethel C. Harris, head of the department of mathematics, Columbia; C. C. McDuffie, head of the department of foreign languages, Columbia. N. E. Weatherless, head of the department of science, University of Chicago; Miss Imogene Wormley, director of kindergarten, Western Reserve University; Mrs. J. W. Shaw, director of household arts, and E. B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education. Howard University. HEAD OF ELKS VISITS HIGHLAND BEACH Mr. and Mrs. Perry W. Howard had as their guests at Highland Beach, Md., last Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., and Dr. and Mrs. S. H. George of Paducah, Ky. FUNDS LACKING TO EMPLOY MORE TEACHERS Only two teachers were appointed from the 188 June graduates of the Miner Normal School. They were Miss Beatrice Louise Walker, 504 T street, northwest, and Miss Mary Louise Syphax, 1519 Kingman place, northwest. The Board of Education approved their appointments at its meeting in Franklin School Wednesday afternoon. The failure of Congress to provide for additional teachers in the last District appropriation bill is given as the cause for no more appointments. There are no salaries, school officials say. Other appointments from the list of eligibles consisting of the last class from the Miner Normal School will be made only when deaths or resignations may reduce the present force. School Group Discontinued The Garnet-Patterson school group has been discontinued. The board approved the transfer of Miss K. C. Lewis, administrative principal, from the Garnet Patterson School to the Bruce School, (Continued on page 7.) WOMAN HELD FOR KILLING HER HUSBAND A coroner's jury Wednesday ordered Susie Brown, 23 years old, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the killing of her husband, William Brown, 32 years old, in their apartment at 441 O street, northwest, Tuesday night. Mrs. Brown fatally shot her husband through the heart. The shot was fired through the door of their apartment, and it killed her husband almost instantly. Freedmen's Hospital ambulance responded and Brown was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital by Doctor Algernon A. Phillips. The bullet was fired from a .38 caliber revolver. After the shooting Mrs. Brown surrendered to the police of No. 2 precinct. She walked to the station house and told Precinct Detective James W. Casey that she had just killed her husband. Upon being questioned, she signed a statement giving the details leading to the fatal shooting. Couple Fight According to her confession, she and Cora Lee Holly, who lived in the same apartment, returned home from walking around the block. They met Brown. Mrs. Brown asked him where had he been. He replied that it was none of her business. She accused him of having been around at 'Smoky's house in Neal place gambling. The Holly girl left. Brown and his wife began fighting. During the altercation, Mrs. Brown ran into the bedroom and got the revolver out of a trunk. Brown took the pistol from her and emptied four of its chambers, leaving one bullet in it. She grabbed the pistol from his hand. He threw her out of the room. She fired through the door, the bullet passing through his heart and one lung. She heard him groan. She took the butt of the revolver and beat upon the door. There was no response. She climbed through a window into the apartment and saw him lying on the floor. She raised his head, held it in her lap and kissed him. Brown and his wife had been in Washington only a year. He was born in Macon, Ga. Mrs. Brown was represented at the coroner's inquest by Attorney S. L. McLaurin. CAR CAPSIZES, ROLLS DOWN EMBANKMENT NEAR WALDORF, MD. Five persons, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stevenson, Mrs. Marie Rubel, Mrs. Laura Robinson and Joseph Neale sustained injuries when the automobile in which they were riding en route to Ridg, Md., about 4:35 p.m. last Saturday, capsized and went down an embankment. The accident occurred about eight miles past Waldorf, Md. The car was owned and operated by Mr. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson expressed a belief that one of the controls attached to the steering wheel must have snapped causing the car to turn off the road, and pitch over the embankment. The passengers were thrown through the top, and only Mrs. Robinson retained consciousness. Mr. Neale attributed the mishap to a flat tire. A second automobile, owned by Mrs. Alice Yarboe, 1058 Forty-eighth place, northeast, was also making the trip. They were behind the Stevenson car when the accident occurred. They picked the unconscious persons up and carried them to the residence of a nearby doctor where they were given first aid. Mrs. Stevenson did not regain consciousness for two hours. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson reside at 32 N street, northwest. The former was the least hurt, receiving bruises about the head and chest. Mrs. Stevenson is confined to bed at her home with several fractured ribs and undetermined internal injuries. She was also hurt about the head and arms. The former is an employee of the Government Printing office, while the latter works at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Armstrong Teacher Mrs. Rubel, of 63 N street, is a teacher of English at the Armstrong Technical High School. She was severely bruised about the body. Thursday she rested easily. Mrs. Robinson who lives at 1925 Second street, northwest, is at Freedmen's Hospital suffering with a severely wrenched hip and several fractured ribs. She works at the Bureau of Engraving. Joseph Nenle received injuries about the body, but is not confined. He resides at 1502 Q street, northwest. REV. MCCONNELL, A.M.E. MISSIONARY, DIES After an illness which lasted three months, Rev. Thomas B. McConnell, D.D., died Saturday morning, September 10, at his residence, 1710 Vermont avenue, northwest. He was born in Kingstree, S.C. September 3, 1864, and was the eldest son of Benjamin D. and Laura McConnell. His early education was received in the public schools of Charleston, S.C. Later he attended Morris Brown College. He received a ministerial degree from Boston University. Before entering his ministerial career, however, he founded the Georgia Johnson Industrial School at which he taught for several years. During his stay in Washington, he never had a church of his own, but had a missionary in a Maryland district. He served in the A.M. E. Conference for thirty-five years, in Cuba, Canada, and the United States, and as a chaplain in the Spanish-American War. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Helen V. McConnell, three sons, Roland, Wendell, and Julian, and two sisters, Mrs. Lottie Rice and Mrs. Marcia Bragrove. AN INTERESTING FACT There are, it is said 385,000 Ne gro automobile owners in the United States. ORDER OF MOSES TO CONVENE HERE The R. W. S. G. Lodge, A. I.

HOWARD TO HAVE JOURNALISM IN CURRICULUM Beginning with the autumn quarter, 1927, courses in theoretical and practical journalism, including newspaper practice, will be offered at Howard University under the direction of the department of English, assisted by several experienced newspaper men connected with prominent daily and weekly newspapers. The university has realized for a long time the constantly increasing demand for the introduction of such courses into its curriculum; and as early as 1919 issued a prospectus of a rather extensive course in journalism, but inadequate teaching facilities prevented its introduction at that time. During the past college year, however, at a series of luncheons given at the university and attended by the dean of the college of liberal arts, the head of the department of English, and prominent newspaper men, this demand was so forcibly expressed, particularly by Messrs. W. N. Jones and W. O. Walker, managing editors, respectively, of the Baltimore Afro-American and the Washington Tribune, that the immediate introduction of three courses in journalism was inevitable. Teaching Staff The university is fortunate in (Continued on page 8) JAMES BURLLS RESIGNS AS MU-SD-LIT OFFICIAL After twenty years' service as secretary-treasurer of the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R street, northwest James C. Burillis has tendered his resignation to the board of governors of the club effective September 30.

Hesse, superintendent of police, is conducting and investigation into charges that five policemen of No. 2 precinct police station assaulted Duvall S. Thomas, a Government Printing Office employee, in his home at 218 Florida avenue, northwest, September 7. These officers went to the home of Thomas looking for Joseph Smith, who had shot his estranged wife, Mrs. Edith Smith, 22 years old, and an 11-year-old girl, Bernice Johnson, in their home at 778 Fairmont street, northwest. Smith had afterwards fatally shot himself in the rear of the Howard University stadium. According to the statements of Mr. Thomas, he was in his kitchen preparing his dinner when the policemen broke into the basement door of his home. They had no warrant for his arrest. Search House They insisted that he was Smith, the man for whom they were looking. Mr. Thomas showed them his Masonic cards as a means of identification but they were not satisfied. One officer guarded him, while the others searched the house. After searching the house the officers apparently left. At least Mr. Thomas thought they were gone. He returned to preparing his dinner and later went outside. A woman next door told him that two officers were still in his house. He went inside. He met one of them in the dining room. He was ordered to sit down. There was no light in the dining room. Telling them that he was going to make a light, he arose. The officers pounced upon him with their blackjacks. Mr. Thomas was taken to No. 2 station house. He was bleeding. The police kept him in a cell questioning him for nearly two hours. Finally they decided to take him to Freedmen's hospital to have his wounds dressed. They left him at the hospital. After he was treated he returned home in a taxicab. Last Friday afternoon Thomas and Susie Blackwell called at No. 2 station house to find out the names of the officers. Captain Guy Burlingame refused the information. FEDERATION OF MEN'S CLUBS TO HOLD BANQUET The Federation of Men's Church Clubs will hold its annual banquet Wednesday evening, September 21, at Israel Baptist Church, on Eleventh street, between F and G streets, northeast. This promises to be a brilliant church social affair and more than the full delegations of the twenty-four affiliated men's clubs are expected to be present. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, Attorney Thomas Walker, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools have been announced as the principal speakers. Pastors (and their wives) of affiliated clubs will be invited guests. The final meeting for the arrangements for the banquet will be held by the Federation on Monday evening at the Wage Earners' Building, Twelfth and Rhode Island avenue, northwest, at which time more details may be learned. B. C. Dodson is president of the Federation, and a committee composed of Dr. E. F. Harris, chairman, James Brown and Ruben H. Johnson is arranging the affairs of the banquet. The caterer services of Joseph I. Greenlease have been engaged. --- es App SE RANDOLPH MA BULLET TH BREAST WI RANDOLPH MASSEY SENDS BULLET THROUGH HIS BREAST WITH PISTOL 'BISHOP'CHARGES TWO DOLLARS AS FARE TO HEAVEN Two dollars will save your soul from eternal damnation! So it would seem if the practice of "Bishop" C. M. Grace were taken as criterion. Two dollars is the necessary forfeiture for the privilege of being baptized by the "bishop." "Bishop" Grace is an evangelist and spiritual healer. He has coworkers located in various towns of the South and Southeast, mainly Savannah, Ga., Augusta, Ga., Washington, D. C., Saluda, S. C., Charlotte, N. C., and Norfolk, Va. The organization is styled the "Apostolic Faith." In Washington, W. M. Stith is his disciples. Stith is only a young boy, who met the "bishop" two months ago and decided to become an evangelist. He has been conducting the "House of Prayer," as the local organization is known in a tent at South Capitol and K streets, for the past two weeks. Already, the congregation numbers nine hundred members. These members, mostly coming from the neighborhood are predominantly of the type whose emotions and superstitions may easily be played upon. They work themselves into a frenzy during the meetings, and readily pour out the contents of their already meagre pocketbooks. Baptized in Filth Sunday, one hundred and ninety more sheep were added to the fold. A long procession marched from the tent to Buzzards Point, on the Anacostia River, to be baptized at two dollars a person. It made no difference that the water at this point is extremely unclean, infested by raw sewage dumped into it just blow the Anacostia Bridge. But there is no fear in the hearts (Continued on page 2) BLIND YOUTH PLANS TO ATTEND MUSIC SCHOOL Robert G. Andrews is blind. He lost his sight through an attack of typhoid fever when only two years old. At four, his mother died. Today, at twenty-five years of age, he is aspiring to become a concert singer. Mr. Andrews was born in Tarboro, N.C. He has had some vocal instruction, two and half years at the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute at Raleigh, N.C., and two and a half years under Antonio Scarduzio, of Philadelphia. He is now planning to pursue a course at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, this fall. He has sung at a number of Washington churches, among them being Shiloh Baptist, Metropolitan Baptist, Metropolitan A. M. E., St. Luke's, Lincoln Temple, Second Baptist and Mt. Ararat Baptist. On Thursday evening, September 29, Mr. Andrews will appear in another concert at the Asbury Church. The program will include classical selections, spirituals, and ballads. The proceeds will be used to assure his matriculation at the New England Conservatory this fall. TALLADEGA TEACHER HERE Frank G.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS POINTED ELF ASSEY SENDS THROUGH HIS WITH PISTOL Funeral services for Randolph A. Massey, son of Randolph H. and Minnie Massey, were held from New Bethel Baptist Church, Ninth and S streets, northwest, Tuesday, September 6. Young Massey died at Emergency Hospital last Friday as a result of a gun-shot wound in the right breast. The certificate of death gives the cause as "accidental." The tragedy took place early Friday morning on the farm of Mrs. Pattie Stokes Massey, near Wellington, Va. The boy who was 18 years old, had been in ill-health for the past few months. From an alert and active school lad, in a short time he had become moody and highly nervous. He had been under treatment of Dr. John Williams of Manassas, Va., who had prescribed a rest cure for him. Had he lived, he would have been a senior at Dunbar this year. Near the end he refused to talk to any one. Relatives Hide Revolver Nestorides Hive Revive Becoming suspicious of the boy's actions, his father removed a revolver from a mantelpiece. Some time later another member of the family removed the revolver to what was considered a safer place. Notwithstanding this precaution, the revolver was located by young Massey, and although the family had kept a faithful watch over him, in an unguarded moment, he shot himself. He was rushed to Manassas for medical aid. Later it was deemed necessary to take him to a Washington hospital. Albert Brown of this city who was visiting at the Massey Farm, rushed the boy to Emergency Hospital. His condition gradually became worse and he died a short time afterwards. An Excellent Student The records at Dunbar show Massey to have been a good student. He was a member of Company E of the High School Cadet Corps. Fellow cadets acted as pallbearers at the funeral. Surviving him are his mother and father, two sisters, Lucy and Lavania, a brother, William and two aunts. The funeral brought together his mother and father who have been divorced for some time and who have both since married again. However, they walked arm and arm during their hour of grief. Also attending the funeral were the step-mother and step-father of the boy. They walked with other members of the family. NAT'L BAPTISTS RE-ELECT PRES. L. K. WILLIAMS DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 15.

BIRTH RATE AND BIRTH CONTROL The matter of birth rates and birth control among colored people have come to occupy, in a transient and superficial way, the interest of one of the regular contributors to the columns of a limited number of race journals. While the statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company sees improvement in the condition of the colored people from the standpoint of vital statistics, the aforesaid regular contributor is rather unhappy over the alleged incorrectness of the census of 1920, and the alleged unwillingness of educated colored people to rear large families as evidenced by the small number of children in the families of the instructors and officers of Howard University. The aforesaid regular contributor then proceeds to insist that it is a religious obligation to increase and multiply, that the lower classes of colored people are doing their "bit" in this respect, but that the upper classes are derilict and cowardly. He then proceeds to sermonize lugubriously. Thoughtful and thorough students of social conditions are, with few and unimportant exceptions, of the opinion that it is of more consequence to conserve the lives of children that come into the world, than that there should be more children born. In other words, the conclusion of most sociologists is that quality production is to be preferred to quantity production. Quantity production, whether of goods or of human beings, is always inferior in quality. Then there is the economic side of the question which may be stated in this way: Is there bread enough for every mouth? A long while ago there lived a man named Malthus who after long and patient study and investigation discovered that the increase of population tended to outrun the means of subsistence. At a recent meeting of scientists in England this Malthusian law was submitted to the closest scrutiny in the light of present day conditions, and was found to be substantially workable and reliable. The reasoning ran somewhat in this way: Under present methods of cultivation, it takes two and one-half acres of land to produce subsistence sufficient to sustain one person; there are approximately thirteen thousand millions of acres of arable land in the world; this area will sustain a population of five thousand million. There is now in the world a population of eighteen hundred million. At the present rate of increase, the population one hundred years hence will be five thousand million, or the calculated limit of the earth to provide food and other necessaries of life. The conclusion being that the world is faced with the problem of over-population. From the point of view of religion, it is to be observed that the command to increase and multiply was given at a time when there were few human beings in the world. If one will read the Bible with a mind free from bias, sincerity and superstition, he will in the later books find little that can be logically construed to mean that increase and multiplication are enjoined. Jesus of Nazareth nowhere enjoined these things as a duty, and Paul, while recommending marriage, did it solely in the interest of orderly and conventional living. He gave some advice to Timothy as to what the flappers of that time should do, and it would conduce greatly to social order if the flappers of this day would follow it. BISHOPS AND POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS The appointment of Bishop Archibald J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Church, by Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago, to be a Civil Service Commissioner in that city, and the acceptance of the office by Bishop Carey, have heretofore been the subject of criticism in these columns. The thing was unprecedented, and in our opinion—which is enforced by practice and custom and every consideration of sound morals and civic policy—was detrimental to the best interests of the A. M. E. Liberal Progressive Independent Washington A Tribune Washington A Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PUBLISHING COMPANY. Church as well as to religion in general. Evidently the matter has received and is receiving consideration in A. M. E. Church circles. At the last commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, a doctorate degree of some kind was conferred on Mayor Thompson. We do not recall the specific doctorate that was bestowed upon the mayor, whether of medicine, or law, or divinity, or philosophy, or veterinary surgery; but at any rate there were enough people to say that the degree had some relation to Bishop Carey's appointment to the civil service commissionership, since it followed so closely on the appointment. Whatever may be the real truth of the matter, it does not logically follow that the appointment was the cause of the bestowal of the honorary doctorate. It was stated in the columns of one of our contemporaries of recent date, that Bishop John Hurst approved of Bishop Carey's acceptance of the office "under the circumstances," and had so written him. We are frank to admit that we do not know what the "circumstances" are to which Bishop Hurst is alleged to have referred. This is a matter of the most far-reaching importance and public concern. If there are any reasons, grounds, or "circumstances" which warrant a bishop in accepting an appointive political office, giving thereto a part of the time and energy and talent which belongs to his supposed sacred office, the public is entitled to know what they are. Bishop Hurst is rated high both as citizen and churchman, and his opinions are entitled to consideration. We call upon the bishop, accordingly, to state directly and clearly the "circumstances" which in his opinion justify a bishop in accepting an appointive municipal office. CRIME AND RACE PREJUDICE The prevalence and increase of crime in the United States is the source of no end of discussion as to its cause. We heard yesterday that it was due to delay in the courts; we heard last week that it was due to the uncertainty of the verdicts of juries; we heard last month that it was due to light penalties, that the cure for crime is severe penalties—make the law terrible, frightful. Now comes along the Lord's Day Alliance and says the increase of crime is due to Sabbath breaking, and that the way to cure is to make people by legislative enactment refrain from all secular pursuits and amusements on Sunday, so that they may attend religious services and learn the true and correct way of life. It used to be said by many people that if we could only close up all the saloons and make the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes unlawful the principal cause of crime would be removed. Now we have the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act, but crime flourishes as never before. The number of courts is increasing; there is a great army of enforcement officers, and millions of dollars are spent annually, adding to the burden of the taxpayer, who, by the way, is practically everybody. It is a little singular that none of these analysts and reformers have mentioned race prejudice, and laws, customs and regulations making distinctions of race, as a fruitful source of criminal growth. The habit of mind that considers millions of human beings as by nature unfit to walk with, talk with, work with, study with, pray with and play with, cannot fail to affect the whole human character, and to implant in it a disregard of all rights, whether of property, or person, or reputation, or other relative right. When one considers these things in any serious way, it is difficult to see how race prejudice can fail to be listed as a principal cause of crime. We commend this reflection to the members of the Lord's Day Alliance, and to the Rev. Mr. Bowlby, its agent. The Tribune is honest, almost quixotically so—it offends some of the people some of the time, but only because it aims to tell the truth to all the people all the time.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 MUSIC FORUM A FEW BOUQUETS THAT I APPRECIATE From a Leading Music Merchant Dear Mr. Adams: What are the prospects for another season of Artist Concerts this coming Fall and Winter? I remember with great pleasure your splendid efforts, with some other prominent people, in bringing to Washington quite a number of the outstanding musical artists of the colored race, and I hope that you are not going to give up the good work so auspiciously begun. I think that everyone who was privileged to hear these artists should give full measure of thanks to you for so much of the work that was connected with their appearance. I know of your splendid standing, and the very excellent music work that you have done in our community, and I hope that you will go ahead with renewed vigor, because our country is growing more and more musical by leaps and bounds, and it needs some one like yourself to bring to the attention of the public the artists who are really "worthwhile." Wishing you continued success, I am with best wishes, Sincerely yours, E. H. DROOP, Secretary, E. F. Droop & Sons Co. 1300 G St., N.W.

Parks (13) Here is a strange story: For twenty-nine years a mine near Jasper, Alabama, has been continuously on fire. A well in the vicinity produced boiling water, and a short while ago the fire ate away enough coal beneath a house to cause it to collapse into the aperture. Efforts to quench the flames have ceased, as the prolonged heat has so softened the coal in the outlying ledge; that it has been found to be worthless. I got this information from "The Pathfinder." I suggest that if other Tribunites read anything that may be of interest, that they condense it and send it in to the Kildies' Corner. PAULINE A.

CLEMENTINE POINDEXTER, 8 THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN VARIOUS WARS By Walter Jackson (13) There is no war that has caused blood to be shed on American soil that the Negro has not been in. In the Revolutionary War Chris-pus Attucks, a Negro, was one of the first to die. In the Spanish-American War, it was General Antonio Maceo, the Negro, who held an important part in that war. Negroes took part in the Civil War, (the war which gave the American Negro his freedom). For many weary years the Negroes had been in bondage. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Sojourner Truth helped to make Abraham Lincoln's mission a success. In the World War, Negroes were a great help in the gains of victory. Many Negroes left their homes and families to fight in the World War. I feel sure that the Negro will help in the coming wars. At the birthday party of John Luther Waller, at his residence, 2922 Sherman avenue, he had many of his little friends present, among whom was his hostess, Margret Ealler of Gordonsville, Va.

He always preferred the association of boys older than himself, and he so managed the tasks he had to perform in order to have freedom to enjoy himself as boys delight in, as to engage the co-operation of the older boys, who did most of the work while he overlooked it. There is lots of fun in standing by and directing the work while others toil at it. In this way Timothy managed to get hauled enough wood in his little wagon to keep the fires going and get the big yard swept over every Friday. These tasks had to be performed, and Timothy went about them in a business-like way, doing as little of the drudgery as he could not shave off on his big playmates, who appeared always willing and pleased to lend a laud. They made the work appear to be play, and that is what it amounted to when gone about in this spirit. Work is always an easy and pleasant way to get rid of time and get the most out of living. It is when work is forced upon one, as an obligation or service, that it becomes irksome and distasteful. This is .s true in the case of grown-ups as of youngsters. Nearly every Saturday Timothy a.complained the senior Fortune on a fishing and hunting trip. The hunting part was incidental. The main business was to get enough fish for Sunday morning, and if any game got in the way to fetch it down. The fishing was mighty good and it was no great trouble to have a big catch as the result of the day's outing. The senior Fortune spent most of his time angling for big fish, trout, white channel cat, and the like—while Timothy angled industriously for black perch in the hollow of cypress trees bordering the streams, and which swarmed with good sized perch. The senior had a lot of fun angling for the big fellows, but Timothy To SCHOOL ON RAINY DAYS In Speed a CAL HOWAR -LOWEST POTOM SUPERIOR—SAFE—SERVICE "The Drivers are Owners" The John M.

CLASS LIMITED TWO caught the fish that made the Sunday breakfast a notable feast. Emanuel Fortune had fitted out a barge and loaded it with poultry and garden produce and "poled it" to Appalachicola, an unheard of achievement, where he exchanged his products for floor, coffee and sugar, and some "goodies," none o' which the people of Marianna had seen or tasted since before the civil war. Corn meal, substitutes for coffee and brown sugar made at home, had been the staples, and remained such for a long time, with plenty of home cured meats, milk and butter, and vegetables, all grown on "the place," as the phase for the home acres were generally termed. And there was plenty to eat, after its kind. There wasn't any higher cost of living to worry about because everybody raised his own supplies. They are fo. tumate who are in a position to do that and do it. It was a memorable Sunday morning, when those first biscuits some of us had ever eaten were to be served. There was also the usual supply of fresh water fish and fried chicken. Uncle Joe Rolax, a good friend of the senior, had been invited to the breakfast. The children were not allowed at the table with the grown-ups, of course. Excitement among them ran high. The feast was something they had looked forward to with the most aounding interest. They were going to have flour bread. There were no stoves in Marianna in those days. The open fireplace prevailed and the cooking was done in pots, ovens, and pans, with lids, with fire of hot coals above and beneath. Mother Sarah Jane cooked many "bakings" of biscuits, and there seemed plenty and to spare. The children stood outside the kitchen door as the breakfast progressed and watched with great concern the gradual reduction in the biscuit supply. It appears that Uncle Rolax had an abnormal appetite for biscuits, which, added to the normal appetite of the other grown-ups, steadily devoured the biscuit supply. When no more than two helpings remained the children lost heart and began a loud wailing outside the kitchen door. They had become disconsolate and panicky-over their disappointment.

WARFIELD CAN ANSWER THIS LETTER Dear Sir: A few days ago, a nurse wrote me that Dr. Warfield had, in reply to the article in a recent issue of the Tribune, had his assistant write an article defending his ad- ministration, and all employees asked to sign it. Of course, fearing dismissal, they were afraid not to sign it. I am writing to ask you for the sake of justice and all who are interested in the best interest of Freedmen's Hospital, to know the true facts, will you please make this known through the columns of your good paper? Being a graduate nurse, I have been trying to find out the facts concerning the sudden dismissal of Miss Mae Irwin as superintendent of nurses from Freedmen's Hospital, where, up until a few months ago her work had always been considered very efficient. And anyone with good reason would think she was very efficient after seventeen years of service. If possible, will you find out from Judge Finney how Miss Irwin was able to get along until after it became known that the hospital lacked personnel and equipment? She ceased then to get along. It seems strange. Ask Judge Finney what kind of service Miss Irwin was expected to give patients and physicians with fifty nurses in all classes. I understand last year there were seventy nurses, but forty-three of this number were probationary. No hospital can be run with so few nurses. To me, it seems that Miss Irwin had a complex problem. I, like hundreds of others, would like to know why Miss Irwin has not stated the conditions of affairs to the public. It seems to me that since Freedmen's Hospital is a government hospital, a congressional investigation is what is needed, not just the word of one man who rules like Dr. Warfield is doing and has been doing for years, and if any member of the staff does not agree with him an his one-man rule, he or she is dismissed without a hearing. I am not a Freedmen's graduate, but I am for justice, and I can not see where Miss Irwin has had justice. Please give this space in your paper. Gratefully, Miss ANNIE JONES, R.N. Charlestown, R. I. SAYS CHARACTER AND WORTH SHOULD BE OUR BADGE OF PREFER- Mr. Editor: I am loath to enter this argument. I know of nothing that so nearly portrays a yelping eating, as most of us have been children, although many are born old and never grow young. The children wailed so loudly and dolefully that the grown-ups rushed out to learn what the matter might be. "What ails you uns?" screamed the mother, grabbing Timothy by the shoulders. "Uncle Rolax is eating up all th' biscuits!" be blubbered. The astonishing answer broke up the breakfast feast, as far as the grown-ups were concerned, and saved to the children the small remainder of the biscuits. There was loud talk when the unwelcomed guest had departed of giving Timothy and the others a good thrashing for their conduct, but it ended in talk and many solemn warnings of what would happen if they ever did the like again. It is quite wonderful what appetites some grown-ups have for certain things they like above others, and of which they appear never to get enough. A long time after war times I knew a distinguished race educator and diplomat, the first Afro-American Minister-Resident and Consul General to Haiti, Hon. Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett, who would eat a dozen big clams and more at one "standing," as we used to have the dealer open them at his Fulton Market place and eat them from the shell as he opened them; while Dr. Booker T. Washington had a weakness for corn on the cob and would eat a half dozen ears at some of the daily luncheons we had together.

Why-can we not get back to solid ground and make character and worth our badge of preference? Refuse to recognize any color either black or white, and maintain as our standard, character and conscientious service. The minute you bring color into the argument the white man's position is strengthened, because you very clearly show him that you consider color of more value than character. It is publicity which gives Caesar his prominence, his dignity. Cease to flaunt him—ignore him, and Caesar becomes a mere nobody. As water seeks its own level, let all peoples and individuals choose their associates. Am I to be censored because I prefer this or that person as an associate? Should you not feel it your right to choose yours? Are we not all kings and princes in our own right? None can be better excepting in so far we permit them to be. Being men entitles you to the honor due men. Black men, somebody has compared us to a basket of crabs, and we certainly are that. We are too prone to pull and fight each other. Just so long as we continue to do this the white man can rest easy; for we will never have strength to take our place beside him as men when we expend it in this senseless way. Let us forget this silly argument and see if there is not something which more nearly effects us as a race here in Washington. What is it, my friends, that the old McKinley High School, with its small grounds is all right for black children, but too small for white children? The future of the race, our children should engross our attention rather than splitting up into black and yellow groups expending our strength in unless arguments.

Once upon a time mobs made a practice of lynching, flogging, etc. Negroes only. Now we read where an investigation is being made of the story told by Professor George W. Wingo, white of the Tallisheek (La.) High School. His wife and child, who arrived here with little clothing, declared an armed mob had driven them from home and told them not to come back. Professor Wingo said a mob with shot-guns appeared at his home and gave him 45 minutes to leave or be killed. This is but one of the many recent outbreaks of mobs molesting white people. "It is now supposed that the country will be aroused enough to recent such unlawfulness," was the caustic remark made by a local lawyer recently. A real estate license law for Alabama designed to guard against entrance of incompetent or unscrupulous persons into the business of real estate has been passed b. the legislature and signed by the governor. The law goes into effect January 1, 1928. The Alabama act requires real estate dealers and salesmen to give a bond for the faithful carrying out of their contracts with their clients. C. E. GIBSON, FIRE 'BISHOP'CHARGES CAPTAIN, RETIRES TWO DOLLARS AS AFTER 15 YEARS FARE TO HEAVEN After twenty-five years of faithful service during which he occupied many positions in the department, Captain C. E. Gibson, the first colored appointee, of the Washington Fire Department was retired at midnight last Saturday. Captain Gibson was born in Stafford, Va. in 1875. He entered the fire department service as a Captain C. E. GIBSON, veteran local fire fighter, retires after fifteen years of service. driver. He has held the position as member of No. 4 engine for the past nine years. Captain Gibson is a Spanish-American War Veteran. He was present at the battle of Santiago. He served as admiral's cook for Admiral Dewey. For twenty-nine months of his stay in the navy, Captain Gibson was light-heavyweight boxing champion of the North Atlantic squadron. In July, 1902, he was relieved of naval duty and appointed as driver in the Washington Fire Department. His retirement was approved Saturday afternoon by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. The Policemen's and Firemen's Retiring and Relief Board recommended Captain Gibson's retirement. He will receive a pension of $104.14 a month. Captain Gibson, his wife and one son, Elbert, well known local football and basketball player, are to move from their residence, 2025 Thirteenth street, northwest. They will go into their new home, 4001 Blaine street, northeast, Tuesday. "I regret having to leave the service where I have met and made so many fine friends and pleasant acquaintances," Captain Gibson told a Tribune reporter Tuesday. The vacancy he made will, no doubt, be filled by one of the two men next in line. They are Lieutenants T. G. B. Key and R. J. Holmes. * TO DISCUSS RURAL EDUCATION LINCOLN, Md.—Arrangements have been completed to hold a mass meeting in the Lincoln school house, at Vista, Md., in the interest of rural education. The principal address is to be delivered by Dr. Francis M. Wood, director of Baltimore schools, formerly state supervisor of education for the State of Kentucky. Musical selections will be rendered by the Bowie State Normal School, and short addresses will be made by many others. It is expected that the program for the permanent Interracial Commission, authorized by the recent legislature will be outlined at this time.

The applicant for the healing is sent off into a trance by some hypnotic influence, and oftimes remains unconscious from six to eight hours. On one occasion, in Norfolk, Va., last week, according to the Norfolk Journal and Guide, "Bishop" Grace lost one of his patients when the man failed to come out of the hypnotic trance. The young man, who was thirty-five years old, died. He had been suffering from both heart and lung ailments. $2 a Head But, not discouraged, the converts waded into the germ infested waters and were put under by the "bishop." Upon singing "Whoseover Will, Let Him Come," several persons on the unkempt banks not among the original candidates, waded out to the "bishop" in their street clothes, and upon the payment of two dollars were also baptized. Among these eleventh hour converts were a white man and woman. Stith, upon being questioned about the two dollar fee for salvation, dismissed the subject with a slight shake of his head. This was taken as a denial. There is a quite a deal of opposition to the practices of "Bishop" Grace. He is accused of defrauding the people of their money. Some time ago, he was ordered out of Charlotte, N. C. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, when asked his opinion, remarked that the men should be run out of town. Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Congregational Temple, declared that nothing too much could be said against such practices. When asked if he considered charing two dollars for baptismal privileges a sacrilege, he replied: "It cannot be condemned too strongly." The people, however, continue to be "hood-winked," and the organization has become so prosperous that the purchase of a building at Sixth and M streets, northwest, for the winter season is contemplated.

MEET PHILA HOLD MAN, THO WOMAN HOUSING PROBLEM FAILS TO IDENTIFY HIM FOUR PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12. Philadelphia's need for modern, sanitary dwellings for Negroes is being met, in part, by the Booker T. Washington Apartments, which now are under construction at 47th and Aspen streets. These apartments are being built by Samuel L. Green, who recently completed a two-year study of the Negro housing situation here. Mr. Green, in his investigation found that Negroes are forced to pay high rents for dilapidated and unsanitary dwellings. He further found that better-class apartments of equal size and quality are rented to white persons at a lower rental than is charged Negroes. The consequence of the discrimination has been that Negro tenants in the better-class apartments, in an effort to make both ends meet, take in more roomers than the space leased will provide sanitary quarters for. The congestion breeds uncleanliness and sickness. Earn Less, Charged More Other data developed by Mr. Green's investigation are: Negro workers earn less per day than white workers; consequently, Negroes can not pay higher rents than white workers and still maintain an American standard of living. Financial institutions are loath to loan money against mortgages on buildings occupied by Negroes, which has been a handicap to the building of apartments for Negro occupancy. In consequence of his investigation, Mr. Green has set out to build two and three-room apartments that will rent to Negroes for $30 to $45 a month. Each apartment will have a tile bath, kitchenette and a closet bed. Heat, hot water and janitor service will be furnished by Mr. Green. Five Units Planned Five separate units are planned; it is the first of these that is nearing completion at 47th and Aspen streets. There are thirty-six apartments in this first unit. For fire protection and sound-deadening, interior walls and partitions are being finished with patened plaster. Edwin L. Rothschild, registered architect, designed the Booker T. Washington Apartments. The site of the building faces Mayor Sulzeberger Junior High School, and is opposite the Mill Creek playground. Churches, schools, stores and transportation are handy. The buildings will be ready for occupancy October 1. Y.W.C.A. CLUBS BECOME ACTIVE DURING FALL The Girl Reserve Clubs will reopen at the Y. W. C.

The woman viewed Brown in jail but told officers that she could not be positive that he was the man. OSTEOPATHY AS A PROFESSION In these days of hard strivings, competitions and struggles for an existence, it is of utmost importance for every youth—made or female—who reaches the threshold of life to seriously ask himself or herself the question: "In what direction shall I turn my attention in order to make my life a success, and thus become an asset to my people, the public and myself?" Before answering the question you should survey, thoughtfully, all the avenues of activity which ar. open to you—professional, commercial and otherwise; then endeavor to imagine your future possibilities in any of them. It is a salient fact that one can succeed in any line of activity to which he sincerely sets his mind and attention, and directs his energy. His success, will, however, be limited to the degree allowed by competition in that particular line. It is therefore of primary importance that you select a profession or calling which has little or no competition, so that there will be no limitation to your success, helpfulness, progress and happiness. At this point may I ask—What is your ambition? What career do you contemplate? If you contemplate a professional career, and your choice is to become a Physician, I would suggest that you enter the Osteopathic Professio. Do you say—Why Osteopathy? I answer: 1. Because the field of Osteopathy has no competition for the colored Osteopathic Physician. From the fact that Osteopathy is just becoming known to colored people, and that among the eight Colleges of Osteopathy in this country, the District of Columbia College of Osteopathy is the only one for colored. 2. Because of the moderate outlay, of money and time required to acquire the profession as compared with that of the older schools of healing. 3. Because the same subjects are taught, except Materia Medica, Medical Zoology, Pharmacology and Drug Therapy. Instead—the Principles of Osteopathy, Osteopathic Technique, and Osteopathic Therapeutics. 4. Because Osteopathy is a Natural and Physical System of healing, which has been, and can be, depended upon in the treatment of all ailments to which mankind is subject. 5. Because Osteopathy, besides its own peculiar Principles, Diagnosis, Technique and Treatment, includes all other Natural and Physical methods which may be of help in relieving the sick. 6. Because the income afforded by the practice of Osteopathy is perfectly satisfactory and assured at all times. It may be said that Osteopathy is not popular. Indeed it is not popular among the colored people. It will, however, become popular among them when Colored Osteo- 'The Greatest Negro Business Enterprise in the World' The National Benefit Life Insurance Company 609 F Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. The National Benefit now carries $75,000,000 worth of Insurance on its Books. It is Owned, Controlled and Operated exclusively by Negroes, for the service of Negroes. It is licensed in Twenty-six States, and its policyholders number more than 300,000. The total Assets of the Company are $4,000,000. It has the largest employed force of any Institution in the Race. Its Personnel includes 300 Home Officials and Employees. The Field Force is composed of more than 1500 Men and Women. Its policies and its service are recognized as being up to the highest modern standards of any insurance organization in the United States.

ADVERTISEMENT pathic Physicians become located in every city, town and district alongside of Physicians of the older school, and giving the same service or perhaps a little better. On the other hand, Osteopathy is decidedly popular, because the Laws of every State recognize Osteopathy as a profession. Osteopathy Practitioners must be examined and licensed by the same State Board by which Medical Practitioners are examined and licensed. In the State of New York, Dr. Charles Hazzard, an Osteopathic Physician, has been repeatedly, for a number of years, nominated by the Governor as a member of the State Board of Medical Examiners. His duty is to examine all applicants for license—Medical and Osteopathic—in the Subject of Physiology. In some cities and towns Osteopathic Physicians are Health Officers, and in some places Railroad surgeons. In all States where there are composite Boards of Examiners, one or two Osteopathic Physicians are members thereof. In twenty-eight States there are Independent Examining Boards composed of four Osteopathic Physicians. In the District of Columbia there is a Bill to create a Composite Board now pending, which will become law at the next session of Congress. This shows that Osteopathy is really popular but not yet among colored people. Enough has been said in this short talk that will give you a clear idea of the fact that Osteopathy is as worthy a profession as any other on the face of the globe. It is a growing profession, and no one is capable of predicting its future possibilities. Those who have the courage to enter this profession now, will, within the next eight or ten years have the sincere pleasure of congratulating themselves. This may be too prophetic, but indications do point in the direction, that is, the time will come when the science of healing the sick will be entirely dugless. And whatever new methods may be evolved, Osteopathy will be holding its own—solidly. You have an opportunity now of studying Osteopathy, which may never be your. again. We therefore urge that if your ambition is to become a Physician, have the pluck and courage to step out of the old beaten path and take up the study of Osteopathy. Pioneers are not created, they are cultivated. Pioneers are never to be found among the ranks of those who are always listening for public opinion, nor among those who have to depend on their friends to decide their course of action. They are found among the Lindbergh class, who have minds of their own and have the courage to use them even in the face of adverse criticism. Colonel Lindbergh is a PIONEER of the highest type of modern times. His decision to fly alone across the Atlantic was criticized. Some regarded it as unpopular, others thought it exceedingly unwise, but the Colonel had a mind of his own. He also had the courage, pluck and gumption backed by knowledge and confidence in his own ability. And so he sped out alone and leaped through thirty-six hundred miles of untravelled space and landed in the lap of Fame and Fortune forever. Be a Lindbergh. Leap out of the old over-crowded, trodden professional paths, and take up the study of Osteopathy, and become a pioneer Colored Osteopathic Physician in your State, town or district. The District of Columbia College of Osteopathy is fully equipped to give you the necessary education that will fit you for your professional duties, and also to meet the necessary requirements.

Some spent only a week while others spent two, three and four weeks. The camp program included swimming, hikes, many games and occasional boat rides. The boating was made possible through the kindness of some of the cotagers. Tennis was played on a neighbor's court while enthusiastic volleyball and baseball games were enjoyed on the Highland Beach Community Playground.

A True Copy: Test Frank E. Cunningham, Clerk. By M. Lee Ashford, Asst. Clerk. Black Sox Split With Myrtle A. C., Play Orientals Sunday Armstrong Grad Gaining Fame as Pug on West Coast ```markdown ``` Sam's Scripts It seems to be the general opinion of baseball fans that there is some sort of a feud between Leroy Barber, Myrtle catcher, and Sam Lacy, Black Sox pitcher, resulting from a recent article appearing in this column and upbraiding the actions of Barber in ridiculing the three catchers who worked in the Oriental Tiger- Washington Black Sox games of August 28. Such an opinion, if it exists, is radically wrong so far as the writer feels and so far as Barber has appeared to feel. The enmity lasts only on the baseball diamond and as baseball players. Off the field, Barber and Lacy are the best of friends. Lacy's only inducement to place Barber in the public eye was his position as Sports Editor of the Washington Tribune, not as a rival player. When one is forced to serve in the capacity of a sports' writer as well as a participant in competitive athletics it is necessary that he assume a dual personality. When writing, the fact that he is a member of a certain team must have no effect on his reports of that team's games. Neither should the fact that he did consider it right to ridicule some player in his writing interfere with his good will, as a player, toward the one criticised. Let's say more to the credit of Joe Harris, ex-manager of the Potomac Giants. Since his demotion from the management of the Potomac, Joe Harris has displayed a wonderful share of sportsmanship. First off he fooled the "wise guys" by sticking.. Then he turned in 2 victories in 2 days for his new manager by hurling invincible ball Sunday, and Monday of last week. In the game against Sandy Springs, this past Sabbath, the former chieftain pitched winning ball, garnered 3 hits and capped the climax by a clean steal of home in the eighth frame. Things are hot and getting hotter in the Tribune League battle for supremacy. With only 2 more weeks of schedule play, the fairs are warming for the inter-league championship. Brookland and the Elite Panthers are battling for Class A, while Huntsville, Anacostia and Colesville are in line for Class B title. With the series championship battle standing at 2-all in games, the Oriental Tigers, "Prides of the Point" meet George Ford and his Washington Black Sox in a double attraction this Sunday. A turn out of some 1400 persons is expected, according to predictions of persons in the Sox and Tiger camps. SIMPSON SAYS "GOING BACK TO HOWARD' Among the half hundred candidates who have already signified their intentions of trying for the 1927 Howard football squad is Dennis Simpson.

It had been previously rumored that the former Wendell Phillips High star was to matriculate at Wilberforce during the 1927-28 term. This, Simpson declared, was under consideration, but had never been fully decided. Followers of the grid sport throughout the East know Simpson well. He was very much in evidence, Thanksgiving Day when two forwards to him added two touchdowns to the Howard cause. He was, no doubt, one of the best offensive ends in college football in 1926. BUFFALO A. C. TO RE- ORGANIZE The Buffalo A. C. under the leadership of Earl (Buck) Williams will try to bring back to the gridiron a team of the unlimited class. A meeting will be held Monday, September 19, at 1232 Wylie street, northeast, at 7:30 p.m. The following players are urged to report, R. Furbey, A. Bell, P. Mason, R. Mason, T. Moore, C. Furbey, M. Davis, R. Allen, L. Iverson, R. Williams, R. Burke, William Boone and other candidates. Any new players wishing to sign up with this team are asked to get in touch with Earl R. Williams, 220 51st street, northeast. THE SPORT REVIEW CARL DARDEN GRID STAR, MAKING GOOD, HAS NEVER BEEN KO'D GODFREY HALTS MUNN, ONCE HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMP Three Washington boys, Carl Darden, Nathaniel George and Jack Kenney are in Los Angeles, California. Darden and Kenney are there fighting, while George is there working in preparation for his entrance to the University of Southern California this full. My story, this time, is principally on the first named, so for that reason I will relate briefly what the others are doing, first. Nathaniel George, who is a graduate of Dunbar High School and who is known by all his friends as "Nappy George," is an athlete of no mean ability. At present he is going through rigorous conditioning in preparation for the University of Southern California track squad. Kenny, known as the outstanding product of local heavyweights is, doing some fighting as well as serving as a trainer. His record will appear on this page at a later date. Carl E. Darden finished the Armstrong High School in the June Class of 1925. He was picked as an All-High guard in 1924 and 1925. Darden captained the winning Company G in the Competitive Drill of 1925. "Kid Eddie" Darden, middle-weight, as he is known in Los Angeles has won 8, lost 5 and drawn 3 of his most important bouts. He has never been knocked out. Of his 5 losses the Washington led has finished on the short end of 3 decisions and 2 technical kayes. He has put over 4 victories with his sleep producer and 5 by virtue of the judges' verdict. Darden's outstanding battles and their respective outcomes appear elsewhere on this page.

NEW YORK.—Better than nothing—Monta Munn, Nebraska cornhusker, wrestler, and lawyer can at least go back to husking and legislating for consolation, now that George Godfrey has so completely mussed up his intentions to become a prize fighter. Godfrey, known in the fight world as "The Shadow of Peperville," scored a decisive win, in the form of a technical knockout, over the Nebraskan in the fourth round of their scheduled 12-round bout at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Wednesday night. Referee Lou Magnolia stopped the slaughter with Munn hanging on, groggy and helpless. The former wrestler was outclassed throughout. At no time did Godfrey seem overshadowed. The white man was out fought, outgeneralled and outgamed. In the third round he went down for the count of nine, but was able to stagger to his feet and last to the bell. Munn came out for the fourth round but that was all. He did not strike a blow, in fact he struck few during the entire fight. With his arms hanging uselessly at his sides the Nebraskan looked pitifully at the referee who stopped the massacre. Munn was bleeding very freely. FOOTBALL MEETING The Washington Pirates will hold its first football meeting of the season Thursday, September 22, at 917% Barry place at 8 o'clock. Former members are asked to report, as well as those who would like to join the club. POTOMACS DEFEAT SANDY SPRING The Potomac Giants defeated Sandy Springs, 11-6, last Sunday after having taken a forfeited game from Dulin and Martin. Joe Harris pitched for the Giants, while Adams, Chase and Hopkins were very ineffective for the visitors. The feature of the affair was the work of Joe Harris who stole home in the eighth to help his team defeat Sandy Springs after collecting three hits for himself. SAMUEL H.

SOUTHERN STARS TWICE TROUNCED BY PIRATES 4½ and Maine Avenue—Both ends of the Southern Star-Washington double-header here last Sunday went to the northwest boys by virtue of 17-10 and 12-7 scores. Colleman, Pirate thirdsacker, was easily the batting star of the day. His 4 hits in the matinee game and 3 in the nightcap gave him a total of 7 hits in 10 times at bat. Though slugging was a characteristic of the afternoon, the pitchers enjoyed good afternoon. Of the 36 strike-outs the Pirate pitcher's secured 20. Dade, Lucas and Grinnell got 10, 4 and 6, respectively. Ashford and Vincent of the Stars scored 9 and 7 hits, respectively. Pirates ab h r So.

The lead in Class A has again changed hands. The Elite Panthers, kicked out of the top berth last week, eased back into the van by virtue of their 3-2 win over "Dick" Temple's Brookland Giants last Sunday. "Puffy" Richardson, in great form, held the revamped Brookland aggregation to 4 scattered hits and a pair of hard earned runs. Four Giants' errors perhaps, had their share in helping the Cats to again take the Class A lead. "Boots" Kenny toiling for the Brooklanders secured half dozen strikeouts, with the Elites inserting hits when they were most needed the Giants' cause was lost. BRIGHTWOOD DEFEATS HILLSDALES TWICE BRIGHTWOOD. D. C. — The Brightwood. Highlanders under Manager "Bull" Green turned back back the Hillsdale A. C. in the Tribune League twin bill played out here last Sunday by scores of 13-8 and 11-10. Both contests were uphill battles for the home team. Lynn reinquished a 7-2 lead by allowing the Highlanders to tally 8 times in the third inning, and from then on the Brightwood boys had easy sailing. A 4-run rally in the last of the ninth snatched a 10-7 Hillsdale lead in the second game. The batting of "Peck" Banks was a feature of the final tilt. Of the 3 hits he garnered, one was a double and another went for the circuit. the circu Hillsdale ab h r Bri'twood ab h r White,2b 6 3 1 J.Harris,3b 4 0 0 Watkins,cf 5 2 1 Judkins,2b 4 2 3 Spencer,rf 5 2 1 Wash'g'n,cf 5 4 3 Hay'id,8b 5 2 1 Brown,1b 4 2 3 Willia's,lf 3 1 3 Carter,ss 5 4 1 Johnson,ss 5 0 1 Perry,rf 1 1 0 Banks,c 4 3 1 Brown,rf 1 0 0 Gray,1b 4 2 0 Brown,lf 2 0 0 Corbin,p 1 0 0 Perry,lf 3 0 1 Nelson,p 3 0 0 Russell,c 2 0 0 Lynn,p 0 0 0 Shamwell,p 3 1 0 Benoid, .1 0 0 Harris, .1 1 1 Totals 41 15 10 Totals 36 14 12 Two-base hits—Banks, Gail Washington.

The second game was forfeited when the visitors walked off the field.

Before a crowd of approximately 700 persons down here last Saturday, the Anacostia Athletics stopped the fast traveling Huntsville Giants in their steady march to the Tribune League Class B Title, kicked them out of first place and gave spectators the impression that they considered themselves "in," when the Hoheuser aggregation met a 13-6 defeat. "Pop" McKensie's lads jumped on the offering of Bird early in the game and continued their punishment to relief pitcher, Green's delivery throughout the remainder of the affair. The Huntsville nine was apparently over-confident. They were indeed surprised at the Anacostia treatment.

FREDERICK Well known in Hotel Circles of New York City ANNOUNCES THAT HE HAS PURCHASED THE NEW LIBERTY HOTEL —and has had the same thoroughly renovated, and is able to offer to the public high-class accommodations with neatly furnished rooms at reduced rates, with high-class cafe accommodations, European and Ameri- can plans. ROOMS $1.00 and Up Dinner Dancing a Specialty Private Dining Room New Jersey Avenue and D Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. Phoné Lincoln 6167 MILTON C. FREDERICK, Prop. Watson, Long and Dokes Plan Season's Work — Both Flanks Need Re-building The "Bison" coaching staff has assembled and worked out its assignments for the coming season. Head Coach Louis L. Watson, recently returned from a coaching course at Northwestern University Chicago has an enviable record. He coached the Howard University team three years without a single defeat, his teams allowing but one score (a lone touch down by West Virginia) in the last two seasons. Watson does not figure that he knows all about the game yet and takes every available opportunity to add to his knowledge and coaching ability. In addition to his professional training at Springfield College, he has studied under Knute Rockne, Bill Roper of Princeton, Tuss McLaughry of Brown, Jess Hawley of Dartmouth, Arnold Howeween of Harvard, Judge Steffen of Carnegie Tech., J. M. Phelan of Purdue, and Dick Hanley of Northwestern. To Use Huddle Shift The local mentor reports gratifying results from his recent study. When asked how his system compares with those of the larger institutions, Coach Watson said his teams have given excellent exhibitions of the "Pop" Warner system as explained by "Dick" Hanley in the recent course at Northwestern. He figures his "huddle shift" to be an original contribution to offensive football and plans to use this style of attack again this season. Rocke and Watson are two coaches who believe in the effectiveness of the shift and both figure that the one second pause will not nullify its value. Ed Long to Coach Ends Edgar Long, star end and captain of the 1925 team will again devote his time to the coaching of VARIOUS STYLES MAY DEVELOP IN SOUTHERN FOOTBALL TUSKEEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Sept. 16.—There is considerable discussion as to the type to game the teams of the Southeastern Conference will play during the coming season. The conservative coaches will probably not bother with the lateral pass while the more progressive of the younger group of coaches will no doubt exploit this new change for all it is worth. Atlanta University, under the tutelage of "Chief" Alken, R. W. Johnson and David L. Gunn, may employ a running attack. With the addition of R. W. Johnson, former coach at Morris Brown, to the tutoring personnel, who will work with the line, a fast charging forward wall may be expected. Clark, with three of the best backs in the conference, as well as a good line, will surprise the fans with some deceptive passing. Clark's kicking will also be of a high order. Morehouse will in all probability resort to hard line amashing. B. T. Harvey is a splendid coach. He knows how to impart a fine fighting spirit into his men, and it may be expected that he will endeavor to stage a comeback, and again place his team at the peak of the procession. New System at Brown A new system of coaching will in likelihood be established at Morris Brown by James P. Lyle, Jr., of Shaw University, recently announced as athletic director. There will be speculation as to just what the destiny of the "Whirlwind" eleven will be and the style of attack that will be used by Morris Brown's new coach. A report which has gained considerable circulation is that Fisk will spring the Illinois style of running attacks and a group of deceptive passes. Tennessee State, under C. Randolph Taylor of Tufts College, who assumes charge of the athletic activities at the above named institution this fall, is likely to install the Tufts system of attack and defense. The Knoxville College team may be expected to use the Rockne system as Coach Moore is an admirer of the famous South Bend mentor as well as an exponent of his style of play. Alabama State Alabama State Normal has spiendid promising material, several good backs as well as men who can hold the line. The extremities will be filled by Hall and Garner, two of the best ends in the South. Coach Jacobs will prob- ends. The development of a pair of dependable ends is causing considerable concern in the camp. With the loss of Simpson and Campbell, both flanks need rebuilding. Mask, a rangy youngster, who was ineligible last year because of the one year residence rule, is the most experienced of the candidates now working for a wing berth, while Lightfoot, a tackle, is being groomed for the other wing. These men have by no means won their positions and Heed Coach Watson is known to be figuring a switch of one or two of his backs to the flanks. Watson Wants Weight Dokes, star tackle and captain of the 1924 aggregation, has returned a line coach. His job promises not to be so difficult as far as the first string is concerned, but substitute material is needed. Although line material is scarcely now the coaches hope to pick up a few likely youngsters among the incoming freshmen. Coach Watson is demanding weight, aggressiveness and stamina in his linemen and if he finds a few fellows with these qualifications, there should be no cause for worry when the whistle blows. The "Bison" line has been a veritable stone wall to all opposition for the paat two seasons. Fans Stared in '26 In addition to directing the coaching of ends and linesmen, the head coach will take charge of the backs and the all-important task of assembling and running the machine. Having been an end himself, followers of the Blue and White were alarmed when it was announced that Watson would coach the backs of his 1926 team; but Howard has never had such a corps of running backs as carried her colors to victory in every game of last season. With the backfield of last season virtually intact, the going will be hard for Howard's opponents is the opinion of Howard fans. ably continue the Hampton style of attack and defense. This system carries plenty of flash and deception. Talladega will continue to improve on the passes. Cooper is a passing ace of almost unerring accuracy and with James on the receiving end, tenns that encounter Talladega may as well get in condition as there will be some track work to be done. Florida A. and M. College, under the tutelage of Coach Byrd will probably continue to develop its fine end running attack an brilliant array of short and long forward passes. Tuskezee to Pluŋge Tuskegee will probably stick : her system of line attack with pass now and then only for the purpose of opening up the secondary defense. The Tuskegee system calls for hard driving back low charging linesmen and deadly tackling. With the approach of one of the best football seasons the conference has yet experienced, together with splendid material and excellent coaching, the fans may well get ready to see various styles of attacks and football as well played as may be seen anywhere. BALTO- BLACK SOX MEET CURBS HERE Dr. Claude Carmichael announced this morning that Alex Pompey's Cuban Stars will meet the Baltimore Black Sox on September 26, 27 and 28 at American League Park.

SARBY A Gregory Pierce MATINEE DAILY—15c TO ALL Except Sundays & Holidays) Lincoln Theatre thing Menjou has done in his entire career. They say there is a genuineness, a sympathy and a naturalness to his role in this picture. Mildred Harris, Edna Murphy and Johnny Walker in "Rose of the Bowery" will be shown on Saturday, September 24 for that day only. There will be three talent shows, at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30. "DARK SECRETS" AT THE HOWARD NEXT VEEK For the week beginning Monday matinee, September 19, the Howard Theatre has secured Dewey Wineglass' all new musical revue, "Dark Secrets" featuring four dancing demons. This is the first appearance in Washington of these well known dancers, and it is hoped that they will be well received by the theatre goers of Washington on their initial appearance. The balance of the cast is made up of leading actors and actresses who need no introduction to the Washington theatre-goers because they have been seen before in both "Stopping the Traffic" and "Lucky Sambo." These stars are none other than Billie McLaurin, Slim Thompson, Doris Rheubottom, Ernest Whitman, Birdi Baker, Bertha Roe and Lee Alan. The chrus is composed of the usual beauties that have made Mr. Wineglass's former shows so successful. The screen attraction for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be "Wedding Bills" featuring Raymond Griffith. This is a picture that should be especially appealing to the young folks who are venturing on the sea of matrimony. It depicts in a vivid manner, although at the same time it causes considerable laughter, that when wedding bells ring in the springtime the fall will find a steady flow of wedding bills which are usually caused by the unnecessary extravagance of the love sick newlywed. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there will be shown "Flames" featuring Jean Hersholt, Virginia Valli, and -Eugene O'Brien. These stars were loaned to the Associated Exhibitors through the courtesy of the Universal Film Corporation. This is a romantic story of the Great North West featured by thrills and fast action, the dramatic moment being one of the most awsome and realistic college fires ever screened.

Reserved seats for the midnight ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show. RENEE ADOREE IN "BACK TO GOD'S COUNTRY" AT LINCOLN NEXT WEEK The feature production at the Lincoln Theatre for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, September 18, 19 and 20, will be "Back to God's Country" featuring the star of the "Big Parade," Renee Adoree. Every scene of this spectacular outdoor picture is a cameo-like unit in this splendid example of the motion picture art. Renee Adoree is a remarkable actress and possesses a . pert. and fascinating French personality. Robert Frazer is equally deserving of praise for his successful efforts in a difficult part. Mitchell Iewis, whom we have long known as a deep dyed villian, plays a sympathetic role in this picture and does astoundingly well, proving that a good actor can essay any type of characterization. Walter Long glowers and plots well as the unscrupulous ship captain. James Oliver Curwood has served up a story which is an intensely dramatic tale of the snow country, whirlwind in action and arousing in emotional power. For Wednesday and Thursday, the screen attraction will be Richard Dix in "Paradise for Two," h is ably supported by Betty Bronson, the former star of "Peter Pan." This is a sparkling comedy drama of a young bachelor who inherited a fortune, but had to get married to get it. On Friday and Saturday, September 23 and 24, the screen attraction will be Zane Grey's latest story, "Drums of the Desert" featuring Warner Baxter, Ford Sterling and Marietta Millner. "Drums of the Desert" is adapted for the screen from the latest Zane Grey story, "Desert Bound" and is based on the discovery of oil under the desert lands of a Navajo Indian Reservation and the attempts of bandits to wrest it from the red men. In addition to the "Drums of the Desert" for Saturday only also be shown Universal's new master mystery serial "Blake of Scotland Yard" featuring Hayden Stevenson. On Saturday there will also be three big talent shows at 5, 7:15 and 9:15. At an early date Lincoln will start showing the big super-specials such as the "Cat and the Canary" which is bigger than "The Bat," Norma Talmadge in "Camille," "The Big Parade," which is the world's greatest motion picture and many others. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1927 NO FUN AT BLACK AND WHITE CLUB'S OPENING By I. M. Killjoy This is advice. Thursday, September 22 is the night set for the grand opening of the fall season for the Black and White Circle Club—but hearken lest ye be fooled. No one is likely to have a good time. Pleasure can never be had in a beautiful place like the Murray Palace Casino where neatly, arranged and vari-colored flood lights carry across the glossy surface of Washington's most perfect dance floor, the graceful shadows of gliding dancers; where a spotlight effect will give one that romantic thrill that accompanies Charlie Lee's soft crooning of "Under the Moon"; where the several members of the club make their way about in tuxedo raiment offering palatable refreshments, and last but by no means least where a peerless system of cooling makes dancing a pleasure instead of an ordeal. This is advice. Do not look for a good time. Although nothing could keep me away from there, I don't expect to enjoy myself—never do. (It is said that that there orchestra that plays for them is just too spontaneous.) I'll assert it is. JIMMY JOHNSON TO GO ON KEITH CIRCUIT "Jimmy" Johnson, well known singer and comedian, has received a contract to play on the B. F. Keith Circuit of Theatres. He and his partner Brown begin Thursday, September 22. Johnson is a Washingtonian, having been born in Georgetown. His parents are still in this city. His rendition of "If You Can't Tell the World She's a Good Little Girl" and "Just Like a Butterfly" made those songs immediately popular throughout the Capital. Johnson's start was made in the form of understudy for Sissle and Blake. His first appearance in headline was in the "Seven-Eleven Revue." Other shows he appeared in are "High Steppers," "Midnight Steppers," "Bamville," "Club Alabam," and "Kub Kentucky." Beginning Thursday the team of Johnson and Brown work as headliners at Keith's Jersey City Theatre, Jersey City, New Jersey. TWO JIMMYS AT LINCOLN TWO JIMMYS AT LINCOLN The two Jimmys, Jimmy Johnson and Jimmy Gillespie at the Lincoln are staging a pretty fair bit of singing and dancing.

NOVELIST CALLS ETHEL WATERSHARL'M'S GENIUS NEW YORK CITY.—In his introduction to James Weldon Johnson's "Autobiography of An Ex-Coloured Man" which has just been eprinted in the Blue Jade series, Carl Van Vechten, famous musical critic and novelist, names Ethel Waters, now starring in "Africana" at the National Theatre on Broadway in New York City, as one of the people who has made noticeable strides in the artistic world within the past five years and who has contributed to the glory of Harlem. In discussing the changes that have taken place since the first printing of the Autobiography fifteen years ago, Van Veethen says: "Then there was no Harlem—the Negro lived below 59th street. To encounter the cultured respectable class of Negroes, one was obliged to visit Brooklyn. In the very few years since this epoch the great city beyond the Park has sprung into being, a city which boasts not only its own cabarets and gamblers; but also its intelligentsia, its rich and cultured group, its physicians, its attorneys, its educators, its large respectable middle class, its churches, its hospitals, its theatres, its library, and its business houses. "It would be possible to name fifty names such as those of Paul Robeson, Langston Hughes, Chas. Gilpin, Walter White, Rudolph Fisher, Countee Cullen, Florence Mills, Ethel Waters, Aaron Douglas, Taylor Gordon, and Jean Toomer, all of whom have made their mark in the artistic world within the past five years." PARADE TODAY The Knights of St. John's and the Columbia Temple Marching Club will take part in the parade Friday which starts at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, New Jersey and New York avenues, via New Jersey avenue to Q street, thence to Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A., and disband to attend the Council Review reception. Miss Hometown: "How did you manage to see Paris in two days?" The American: "Well, my daughter visited the mountains and the museums, my wife the stores, and I the music halls and cafes." NEWS OF CAPITAL VIEW Exercises were held last week under the auspices of the Capital View Citizens' Association, at the Spreading Oak of Capital View by the uniform departments of several fraternal orders of the city. Speeches were made by C. T. Taylor and Dr. J. J. Porter. The Odd Fellows' band played music from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Prizes were awarded for the best kept front lawns, and back yards.

Coming here to take charge of a ladies' barber and beauty shop at Fourteenth and H streets, northwest, she successfully pursued this special work for six months. After this length of time, Mme. Causby was ready to venture forth on her own accord into the business world. For assistance in her new business, Mme. Causby advertised for skilled beauty parlor operators. To her surprise, all who answered the advertisement, were sadly deficient in their knowledge of modern methods of technique. To remedy this condition, Mme. Causby decided to establish a beauty school in conjunction with her beauty parlors. By so doing, she thought that she might give years she operated a beauty shop operators, the benefit of her wide experience in modern methods. Mme. Causby is a graduate of the Oriental School of Beauty Culture, Chicago; the Nestle School of Permanent Waving, New York City; the Dr. Parker School of Dermatology, New York City; the Rosedear School of Marcelling, Cleveland; and the Unexcelled System, Cleveland. Mme. Causby's experience was gained in her work in both the colored and white trades. For four years she operated a ebauty shop for white customers in Staunton, Va. Since that time, she has had much training and experience in all branches of beauty culture. Mme. Causby now operates her beauty shop and school at 1109 O street, northwest, apartment 22. She is also the manager of the apartment house in which she lives, and has business connections with several real estate firms. HEA Direction, A. E. Lichtman Except Sundays 0c; Balcony, 25c BEG.

MIDNIGHT RAMBLE FRI. 3 SHOWS DAILY Continuous Performance , SEPT. 19th DAVE WATERS TO COACH NORTH CAROLINA COL- LEGE GRID TEAM DURHAM, N. C.—David M. Waters, former quarterback at Lincoln, will guide the destinies of the "North Carolina Eagles" at North Carolina College for Negroes, Durham, N. C., for the coming season. Arriving on the scene last week he found thirty candidates already on hand and proceeded at once to put them through their paces and whip them into shape. He hopes from the material at hand to develop a team that can carry, with credit, the heavy schedule which has been arranged for the season. Waters has a splendid record for successful coaching at Georgia State College, having developed in three years there, two champion teams and one unbeaten team during a season when that school was not in an association. As quarterback at Lincoln during 1916, 1917 and 1918, he was a member of the teams that administered to Howard two hard trimmings and one tie in their annual grid battles in those years.

MUSIC SCHOOL OPENS The Washington Conservatory of Music opened for its fall session last Monday with a record enrollment. A full corps of teachers are in charge of the various departments. The school is one of the largest devoted to music in this city. It was founded in 1903. SUIT FILED AGAINST FOUR POLICEMEN (Continued from page 1) name was unknown to her, for the sum of two dollars. Mackey, she is alleged to have sworn, sold her the whiskey on the premises of 623 Gordon avenue, August 24. Wrong Address The alleged seller, Mr. Reeder avers, does not live at 623 Gordon avenue and he has not lived there in the past six or seven years and that, so far as he knows, has never been a resident of that address. No one by that name resides there, declares Mr. Reeder. Attorney Hughes, in his complaint, directs the attention of the superintendent to the following provision of the National Prohibition Act: "That officers may break open any outer door, inner door or window of a house to which admittance has been refused after-noice of authority." When interviewed by a Tribune reporter Mr. Reeder said, "Persons throughout this vicinity can testify that I never have whiskey in this house, not even for my personal use. I do not drink." Mr. Reeder is a laborer. He is at present employed by the Harry A. Kite contracting firm. HAVE YOU THOUGHT— Have you ever thought how much more appropriate it would be to publish your cards of thanks, notices, and memoriams in papers that "your" friends and acquaintances read? FUNDS LACKING TO APPOINT ANY MORE TEACHERS which has been classified as a 16-room building. M. Grant Lucas, principal, was transferred from the Bruce School to the Wormley School. Miss L. G. Arnold, principal, was transferred from the Wormley School to the Garnet School, which has been classified as a 12-room building. The board approved the reinstatement of four teachers. They were Mrs. E. L. Hunton and Mrs. J. H. Pettie, who had been out on maternity leave, and Miss Z. M. Bundy and Mrs. B. E. M. Nurse, who has been on educational leave. Mrs. Lillian Skinker Malone, who resigned when confronted with a charge of violating the maternity leave rule, was appointed to teach in the Harrison Health School. The case of Mrs. Malone was one of several. The board requested resignations. The others charged with a violation of the rule protested their innocence. The board offered them the alternative of resignation or dismissal. Mrs. Malone tendered her resignation with the understanding that a special examination would be held to permit her to qualify for reappointment. The others elected to go to trial on the charges. Their cases are pending. Other Appointments Other Appointments Miss C. C. Peters was appointed to a vacancy in the history department of the Dunbar, High School. She succeeds Miss I. R. Marshall, who resigned to accept a position in the new high school in Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. B. C. Knorl, Miss V. L. Calloway, Mrs. L. E. D. Martin, Miss Ruth E. Matthews and Mrs. R. C.

Netherland and Mrs. I. W. Tyler. EMMETT SCOTT SAYS NEGRO BUS. OUGHT TO MERGE NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 15—"One hundred small, sickly business enterprises have practically no potential value as over-against the amalgamation of such a group into ten, or fewer, militant business enterprises, backed by ample capital and manned by efficient men and women," says Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, in an article entitled "The Day of the Financial Merger" which appears in the October number of The Messenger, a Negro magazine published in New York City, and which is publishing a series of articles on Negro business. After reviewing the numerous amalgamations and mergers of prominent firms and companies in the general business world in late years, and writing enthusiastically of several of the Negro insurance companies, and the great economies and advantages that would accrue from amalgamation, he says: Advises Advertising "If a scientific study were devoted to this subject of the merger of Negro life insurance companies as well as the consolidation of the strongest banking institutions which the race, at present maintains and controls, there would be brought into being a tremendously large life insurance company, destined to take its place with the New York Life, the Equitable Assurance, the Prudential Life and the Metropolitan Life Insurance companies. What this would mean to the race is incalculable. In the first place it would mean a program of intensive advertising which would redound to the benefit of the Negro press which at present is the medium through which most of our affairs reach the Negro public. "I cannot believe that Negro business institutions have given much scientific study to the value of advertising. To speak of Negro business as over-advertising is to indicate something which simply does not exist. Budgets for advertising in our business programs are as a rule the least of our calculations and what is needed more than ever is a union of business institutions, seeking to reach the Negro public through the Negro press. "Elimination, consolidation, cooperation—these three, should be at this time watchwords in the world of Negro business. ROUGE Women often ask themselves if rouge is useful as well as ornamental, or does it harm the skin. We can truthfully say that moderate use can cause no injury—in fact, it is helpful as a protection at this time of year against the burning sun. The red coloring of rouge is only carmine. ~ SHE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE; FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1927 WILBERFORCE U. "PROBE" DIES A NATURAL DEATH WILBERFORCE. Ohio — The board of trustees held a meeting September 9, filled all places for the school year and transacted its routine business preparatory to the opening of school. The "probe" in the state department of Wilberforce University has died a natural death. The board of trustees have been notified by the state board of control, through Auditor Tracy's office, that the issues up between the state board of control and the trustees of the combined normal and industrial department have been amicably adjusted and the matter has been settled finally by the opinion of the attorney general. The board of trustees is to go ahead with its work as prescribed by law and practice. The opinion of Attorney General Turner in a ruling to Director of Finance, Wilbur E. Baker, last Thursday follows: "... The state board of control is without authority to approve the payrolls of the combined normal and industrial department of Wilberforce University." The board had indicated it would refuse to approve the payrolls unless certain things were done at the school. State Appropriates Despite the agitation and publicity attached to it, the university received this year the largest appropriation from the State of Ohio it has ever received, $525,000 for an 18-month period, which on the basis of the usual two-year period makes the appropriation $175,000 more than the institution has ever received before, or the $700,000 for the usual two-year period. The board of control in closing the incident assured the board of trustees of its interest in the institution and desire to co-operate with them for the best good of the university. A spirit of co-operation and good will has now settled over the department and everything is in shape for a big school year and the advancement of the department in every way.

The convention goes to Cincinnati by the invitation of Rev. Father Mueller of that city. The Third Annual Convention of the Federated Colored Catholics of America, was held in New York from September 16, and the meeting was one of the most constructive ever held by the Federation. During the three days' sessions vital matters pertaining to the Negro and the Catholic Church were discussed, and before the convention adjourned it went down on record as being opposed to discrimination against the Negro in industry; it urged and advocated more Negro priests; it made a plea for a broader educational policy on the part of the church; it urged that Negro Catholics be more vigilant in spreading the program and policy of the church; it advocated a wider circulation of its organ, the Council Review, and the reading of Catholic literature.

Mr. Davis came here from New York City. In both places he conferred with party leaders. Before leaving for Atlanta, Ga., he made the following statement: "I am for President Coolidge first, last and all the time. If he does not eliminate himself, he will have to say more than he has said for me to be for anyone else. If he eliminates himself. I would appreciate being advised in time whether he has any interest in the candidacy of anybody.

In taking this position, however, he does not surrender the right to hold office any more than he does the right to vote.

"A BOOK OF TRIBUTES" ISSUED BY LOCAL COMPANY The National Benefit Life Insurance Company has just issued "A Book of Tributes," containing facsimile letters, editorials and comments in the form of extracts from communications received at the time this organization reclaimed the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga. In gathering this data in book form, the corporation announces that it is solely for the purpose of "perpetuating the expressions of congratulations which were evoked by the accomplishment of an outstanding achievement." The preface states: "Scores of letters and telegrams have been received congratulating the company upon its achievement. They have come from all parts of the country, from men in positions of highest honor and responsibility. It is impossible for us to reproduce all of them, but we hope this book will be accepted by every one as a symbol of our sincere appreciation of this good will, and that it will be kept as a lasting record of an event that marks a real epoch in the progress of our group. "It has been difficult, also, for us to make acknowledgment to all who have written to us, in the form which their tributes have deserved. For that reason, we want this booklet to be an expression of personal thanks to each and every one of our well-wishers and friends."

While a very young man he worked as an assistant at the old Globe building on Pennsylvania avenue, which caved in recently. He tells some interesting stories about the printing of the early Congressional Record and the important person-ages of that time. There are few persons better versed in the history of local affairs and the growth of the city than is Mr. George who has followed with interest the many changes that have taken place in his time.

He was trained in the theory of journalism at Ohio State University and at the Pulitzer School of Journalism of Columbia University, and afterwards was employed in the editorial offices of two New York newspapers and as a reporter for several others. Other newspaper men connected with daily and weekly newspapers of Washington and Baltimore have offered their hearty and very active co-operation with the department of English in giving these courses, to the extent not only of giving lectures from time to time on the various problems of the journalist, but also of allowing the students an opportunity of acquiring a first-hand knowledge of journalism through practical work at their newspaper plants. This undertaking on the part of Howard University will be the means, it is hoped, of directing the attention of large numbers of college-trained Negroes to the unlimited opportunities offered them as a vocation in the field of journalism.
