A public statement made by Keverend Fearn Cornelius J. Dacey, white, at the nine o'clock services of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Fifteenth and V streets, northwest, last Sunday morning, aroused the ire of a large number of colored Catholics throughout the city. The statement, which was to the effect that: members of the St. Augustine and the Holy Redeemer parishes should attend their own churches, was construed by many to be the climax of gestures at segregation which the St. Paul parish has been apparently making for the past few years. The Rev. Dacey is the pastor of St. Paul's Church.
In the pulpit last Sunday, the priest, after having spoken of the enormous debt of $144,000 the church is operating under, reminded the congregation that unless their contributions became of more liberal proportions, they would fail in the support of the parish. He then said, "those of you who are members of the St. Augustine and the Holy Redeemer parishes should take your support to them. We do not desire you here, and it is for you to go to your own church."
Several of the many Negroes in the rear of the church arose and left while others remained seated.
Interviews Priest
In an interview Wednesday, a Tribune reporter, himself a Catholic, asked Father Dacey just what was the spirit behind his talk. He replied that no feeling of any racial nature was involved in his words. "I used no term that would appiv to a distinct race," he said, "when I made the statement, it was immediately following an appeal to the members of my own parish for their whole-hearted support. Members of St. Augustine's and Holy Redeemer parishes are not members of St. Paul, hence I have no right to ask them for support. If they continually come to St. Paul it is (Continued on page 10)

LINCOLN THEATRE TO PRESENT "THE BIG PARADE"
"The Big Parade," said to be the most wonderful moving picture spectacle ever produced, will be presented to the up-town theatre going public by the Lincoln Theatre next week, beginning Sunday, October 23.
This picture, which has been long awaited and much heralded, is coming here almost direct from a run of ninety-five weeks on Broadway. It is the first showing in Washington at an all-colored house, and will not likely be seen in this section again soon.
The feature roles in the play, which was written by Lawrence Stillings and directed by King Vidor, are portrayed by John Gilbert, Renée Adoree and Karl Dane. By those who have seen the picture, it is claimed to be the most gorgeous, pathetic, and humorous photoplay ever screened.
On Monday afternoon, the Lincoln management has announced, that the veterans from Walter Reed and Mt. Alto hospitals, will be the guests of the theatre to see this picture. They will be conveyed to the theatre en masse by army vehicles.

GARNET SCHOOL NOT TO BE RAZED IMMEDIATELY
The Garnet School building of the Garnet-Patterson group, which will be replaced by a new junior high school, will not be torn down until a unit of the new building on V street is completed. First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson said Thursday. When this unit is completed, he stated, the children will be transferred from the Garnet building into it. The Garnet building will be razed and the second unit of the new junior high school will be constructed. Some of the children meanwhile are being housed in portables at the Garrison and Cleveland schools. Congress appropriated for the new Garnet-Patterson Junior High School building before providing for congestion by appropriating for an annex to the Garrison School and a unit to be built north of the Garnet School. These two items and items for an annex to the Cleveland School and a new health school are in the five-year school building program.

A. K. A. SORORITY TO CONVENE IN CLEVELAND
By Thelma Louise Taylor
CLEVELAND, O. — Elaborate preparations are being made by the members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for the tenth annual boule to be held in this city from December twenty-sixth to thirty-first, inclusive.
From present indications the boule will have a record breaking attendance. Miss Pearl Mitchell, the president of the local chapter, states that according to all correspondence, every chapter in the United States is sending delegates to Cleveland for the boule. One hundred per cent attendance is expected from Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit and Pittsburgh, while large delegations are coming from Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Washington.
Cleveland will witness not only a large boule but a very interesting one. Each year it has been the custom of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to make a detailed study of "Vocational Guidance" among Negro youths. These results have been tabulated and filed away so that they may at all times be at the disposal of the youth of America.

Garvey's Plea For Clemency Unconsidered
The Department of Justice will not consider the plea of Marcus Garvey for executive elementary, Attorney General John G. Sargent said Tuesday.
Garvey filed a petition for parole, but the Federal Parole Board would not consider it. He has also filed a petition for a pardon by the President. But the pardon attorney in the Department of Justice will not approve it.
There are other charges pending against Garvey. He is under indictment for falsifying his income tax returns for 1922. The rules of the Department of Justice provide that an application of a prisoner for executive elementary shall not be considered when there is another charge pending against him.
At the White House, it was stated, that all communications regarding the Garvey case have been turned over to the Department of Justice.
Garvey has been eligible for parole since October 7, 1926. He was committed to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., February 3, 1925. He is serving a sentence of five years for using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line, Inc., a Delaware corporation having for its purposes the acquisition and management of steamships to transport colored persons and material to Africa to build up a great empire for the Negro race. Garvey called himself at times the "provisional president of Africa." It is very probable that upon his release from the penitentiary he will be deported to the West Indies, from whence he came into the United States.
PULLMAN CO. TO FILE ANSWER IN CASE OF PORTERS
NEW YORK, Oct., 18—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters today announced receipt of a communication from the Interstate Commerce Commission notifying the Union and the Pullman Company that Friday, October 21, has been set as the date when briefs should be filed in the case of the Brotherhood vs. the Pullman Company.
In a petition filed with the commission on September 8, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters charged the Pullman Company with violating Sections 1, 2, 3, 6 and 15 of the Interstate Commerce Act, and called upon the commission ') investigate the conduct of the company with a view toward compelling it to cease and desist from its alleged unlawful practices.
On September 17, the Commission notified the Pullman Company that it had twenty days in which to rectify the conditions or answer the charges of the Brotherhood. Accordingly, on October 7, the company filed its reply in which the jurisdiction of the commission to hear the petition was denied by the attorneys for the Pullman Company; consequently the question now before the commission is its right to hear the evidence and correct the violations, if found to be as stated by the Brotherhood, whose attorneys are of the opinion that the commission is empowered to act under Section 13 specifically and the entire Interstate Commerce Act.
The Brotherhood's brief is being prepared by Donald Richberg, attorney for the standard railroad unions and co-author of the Watson-Parker Law, and by Henry T. Hunt, ex-mayor of Cincinnati and former member of the old United States Railroad Labor Board.
It was pointed out by officials of the Brotherhood that the case before the Interstate Commerce Commissions is separate and distinct from the Union's efforts to utilize the machinery of the Watson-Parker Law and present their case before the emergency arbitration board.

SENIOR IN MED. SCHOOL DIES AT FREEDMEN'S
Hillyard S. Moore, '23, a senior in the Howard University Medical School, died Saturday morning, October 15, at 12:50 a.m. in Freedmen's Hospital after a brief illness. Death was caused by broncho-pneumonia and an overworked condition.
Mr. Moore was born in Washington, but completed his primary and secondary school training in the public schools of Vallejo, California, where his parents now live. Mr. Moore was always active in extra-curricular activities, taking part in orchestral work as well as athletics. He was also a devout worker in the church and during his years at Howard University was connected with church duty at Campbell A.M.E. Church, Anacostia, D.C.
During the six years of his university life, Mr. Moore was connected with Alpha Chapter Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. In his senior year in the medical school he was honorably elected president of Alpha Chapter Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
Funeral services were held at Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, October 18, at one o'clock. Dr. Charles Wesley, head of the department of history, and who pastors the -church of which Mr. Moore was a member, officiated.

Gary Votes For Segregated Schools
GARY, Ind., Oct. 20 (PNS)—Over the written protests of its three colored members, City Council late Monday night passed an ordinance giving the school board $15,000 for construction of temporary school buildings to house 24 Negro students whose enrollment at Emerson High School last week caused 1,500 white students to go on a strike.
The vote stood to 10 to 3, with Councilmen Whitlock, Burrus and Blackwell, Gary's Negro councilmen dissenting. Previous to the calling for a vote on the measure, Morrit Martindale, presiding councilman, refused to consider the written protests which had been prepared by the three Negro aldermen. The protests were not included in the minutes of the council meeting.
The measure passed Monday night was in effect part of an agreement made by City Council with the striking students, who were induced to return to their classes when this agreement was offered. The appropriation claims to be the first of a number which will be passed for the erection of a million dollar Negro High School, but it is doubtful that anything more than a temporary structure to meet the emergency will be erected, observers here point out.
Several hundred colored people crowded the galleries of the council chamber and sa whte appropriation put through. They stated they would immediately file protests.
Negroes Night Separate School Idea
The fight to prevent the school board from erecting a separate building to house Negro High School students got under way here early Thursday when members of several organizations announced they would immediately seek an injunction restraining the city from erecting the building. In the vanguard of the fight stood an Indianapolis attorney, who previously had denounced the Mayor, several prominent members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the local bar association, all of whom were laying plans to take the case into court on the ground that the action of City Council in appropriating a sum to erect a seperate school building was illegal.
"The whole thing is a farce," shouted Robert L. Bailey, an Indianapolis lawyer, who was sent here to fight the case by James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
WINS DIVORCE, CHARGING MISCONDUCT
Justice Hoehling in equity court No. 2. Tuesday signed an order granting an interlocutory decree of absolute divorce to Mrs. Corrie Pannell, 243 Florida avenue, northwest, from Jerry Pannell, 3818 Dent place, northwest. The decree was granted on the ground that the defendant had misconducted himself with Hassie Ferguson, having held her and her two children out as his wife and children. Attorneys Hayes and Davis appeared for Mrs. Pannell.

Mr. Delaney was recommended for appointment by Charles D. Hiles, vice-chairman of the Republican National Committee; United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, and Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi.

GETS LIMITED DIVORCE AND $30 ALIMONY
Mrs. Mary Franklin, 647 R street, northwest, was granted a limited divorce from James Franklin, 62-year-old employee of the District of Columbia pumping station, by Justice A. A. Hoechling in the District Supreme Court last Thursday. Alimony for her was fixed at $30 a month.
Mrs. Franklin filed a cross bill, charging her husband with cruelty, non-support and desertion.
Mr. Franklin was the first to seek the courts for a settlement of their marital differences. He filed a petition for a limited divorce on November 3, 1926. He alleged that his wife deserted him on March 4, 1925. In an effort to win back her love and esteem, he said, he lived at her home from March to September, 1926. She refused to resume marital relations with him, he declared, and ordered him out of her house on September 10, 1926.
Roomer at Home
He was just a roomer there. Mrs. Franklin said in her answer to his charges and her cross bill. She charged that he deserted her when they were evicted from No. 1542 Fifth street, northwest. She permitted him to have a room at No. 647 R street, she stated, but when he refused to support his family she asked him to vacate it.
The granting of alimony to his wife was opposed by Mr. Franklin. He declared that he had another child which he must support and that this fact was known to his wife at the time of their marriage. Mrs. Franklin denied knowing that he was the fathre of another child. The testimony showed that he is taking care of a child under order of the juvenile court.
The couple has a 4-year-old child. The mother has custody.

SCHOOL RACIAL-BAN LAW BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Whether states can prohibit children of other races from attending schools provided for white children will be decided by the U. S. Supreme Court.
The controversy reached the court in a case from the Rosedale School District in Bolivar county, Miss., where the school authorities required a child of Chinese descent to attend the public school provided for Negroes. It was submitted for decision without oral arguments.
Counsel representing Mrs. Martha Lum, daughter of Gong Lum, an American citizen of Chinese descent, contended in a brief that the child had been unlawfully excluded from a white public school. Counsel for the school authorities insisted in his brief that State laws for the segregation of children by races in the public schools of Mississippi were valid and that a child of Chinese descent must go to a school provided for Negro children.

HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 19.—Hampton Institute, which has been closed since October 13 as the result of a student strike, may be reopened next Tuesday, October 25. It depends upon whether the students who have left for their homes will return or will stay out until some concessions are made toward liberalizing the school.
The issue in this strike is liberalism. It is not the question of lights or no lights at moving pictures shows at the school. The turning on of the lights at a moving picture show in Ogden Hall on October 8. only precipitated the strike, and was but a manifestation of the intolerance that has marked the administration of one of the two big industrial schools for Negroes.
The students want a more progressive educational system at Hampton. They ask for competent teachers. They rebel against being taught by teachers who lack a high school education.
They want self-government. They ask that their student council be fully recognized by the administrative board of the school in all matters affecting student life. They ask for the right to petition. They wish to be told the reasons for refusals to grant reasonable requests of the student body.
Commissioned Officers
They request the adoption of a competitive method of selecting commissioned officers in the cadet corps. They ask that the cadets be permitted to discard their military uniforms and wear civilian clothes from Saturday noon until inspection on Sunday morning. They ask that the food served them be of a better quality and be better prepared. They wish fresh milk. With more than 100 cows in its dairies, Hampton Institute serves its students either condensed or powdered milk. They ask for an extension of the Christmas holidays from six ten days. They ask that the students be allowed to have round dancing at the academic junior-senior prom, the college junior-senior prom and the commissioned officers' social. They ask that secondary students be permitted to call on young women students once a week. And behind these demands of the students is the belief that there is a growing tendency toward discrimination and segregation on account of race. Dr. Jas. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, stood firm when the sur- (Continued on page 8)

The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has indorsed and urged by vote the election of Neval H. Thomas to the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., to succeed himself.
The resolution, adopted by the local organization points out the devotion and labor of Mr. Thomas for the principles of the association, and his ceaseless warfare against race prejudices and race proscription.
The election of the board of directors will likely be held at the November meeting of the association to be held in New York, the first Monday of the month.

HOWARD, FISK, LIVINGSTONE
HAMPTON
Gradually but certainly the Negro student is revolting against archaic rules and practices. The complete closing of Hampton Institute last week because of a student strike has again brought up the question: "What is wrong with our educational institutions?"
The press reports first stated that at Hampton the students struck because the authorities turned on certain lights at a movie show. However, an investigation reveals that that action was merely the straw that broke the camel's back. The students at Hampton say they are striking because they want better teachers, more hours in which to study, a better chance to develop self-government (that is, for recognition of the Student Council), better food, competitive examinations for cadet commissions, more social life, and less segregation.
The Uncle Toms—the hat-in-hand and me,too, boss. Negroes—the alarmist and reactionary Negroes have already condemned the student body to the dogs because they had the nerve to strike. To this group of "moss backs" there is no such thing as a right of protest if the oppressed group happens to be students and especially if the oppressors are white. They little know that some of the most progressive reforms in the history of the world were started by students.
No less eminent an educator than Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin, in discussing the trend of the modern school, says:
"We have based our hopes for the progressive improvement of Amercian ideas and institutions on the education of the young in our schools.
"It seems almost treasonable to question the touching optimism of this faith, but the brutal fact is that most of our children come out of our schools inflexibly committed to American civilization as it is, stamped with the qualities of the unquestioning defender rather than the questioning pioneer.
"And, although I am a schoolman, I suggest that it is futile to expect, save in exceptional cases, that the graduates of our schools will do much more than acquiesce in prevailing ideas, ideals and institutions.
"This is, for the time being, invitable for two reasons, viz.:
"First, our schools are created, controlled and conducted by adults who determine the ideas and ideals that shall be set before our children.
"These adults are made and molded by the prevailing ideas, ideals and institutions of the time; if these adults in the main, do not go beyond an uncritical acquiescence in the prevailing order of things, is it to be supposed that they can invent or will tolerate schools that make for a continuously searching criticism and re-examination of their ideas and ideals?"
How true is this of Negro schools? As a general rule, Negro schools are the most backward, reactionary, let-well-enough-alone institutions in this country. Hardly one of them has voluntarily taken what might be called a forward step educationally in the past sixty years. And this is why student unrest is growing. The student of today is not like the rough fellow from the pine woods of fifty years ago. The world has progressed but not the Negro schools.
In these school strikes there is much for the race to be thankful for. First, students do not strike until they began to think. People who do not think, never know that they are being oppressed. This was strikingly true during slavery. The masters fought and died to keep Negroes from improving their minds.
Second, even students in our schools have some rights that faculties should respect.
The hope of the race is in the youth of today. If they are to be cowed and denied the right of the "questioning pioneer," what can the future hold forth?
At Hampton, the students may be wrong in some of their demands, but to condemn them because they dared protest is tragical. The students will probably lose the strike, but the improvements they fought for will eventually be conceded. It is ever true. Progress will force its way. The hope of the Negro lies in

IS VAN VECHTEN COMING?
The literary interest in the Negro and subjects that relate to the Negro does not abate or diminish. The question of race relationship furnishes practically a new field for literary exploration and exploitation.
In fiction, Carl Van Vechten, with his "Nigger Heaven," seems to have made, if not a lasting impression, at least one of considerable duration, for it appears that wherever two or three of the social or literary elite are gathered Mr. Van Vechten and "Nigger Heaven" constitute a subject of conversation and discussion.
Recently at a dinner in Harlem in honor of Florence Mills, who has returned from her triumphs abroad, Mr. Lyles, of the Miller and Lyles theatrical combination, had things to say of Mr. Van Vechten which indicated his displeasure with "Nigger Heaven." It is announced that Van Vechten is to descend upon Washington in the near future, under the competent chaperonage of Mr. Mortimer Harris, and word has gone out to be careful of what one says to, and does in the presence of, Van Vechten.
It is a safe conjecture that if Mr. Van Vechten does come to Washington to take notes on our group or groups, he will find no material for a book of the character of those he has heretofore written. He will find material and in abundance for a new kind of book. We say, let him come, and let us not assume visiting manners during his stay. We are, if not all right, as nearly so as the general run of humans. Mean time, what's the matter with our own artists and literateurs? Why do they not get busy and paint us? That's the thing to do.
BUSINESS AND HUMAN JUSTICE
We do not hear much now about "the materialistic conception of history, or economic determinism," a philosophy which accounts for everything relating to man, whether it be physical, mental or moral, as due to his economic environment.
Those who put forward the theory of economic determination say, in effect: "Tell us how men are housed, clothed and fed and we will tell you what their physical constitution is, what their mental caliber is, and what their moral and spiritual conceptions and standards are." They maintain that a man's notions of justice, humanity, kindness, consideration and his treatment of fellow beings are the result of material forces playing upon him.
Whatever may be one's idea of this theory, even though he does not go the full length of its propounders, it is evident that it can not be cast aside as useless in accounting for a great deal of human conduct and of human history.
So eminent a thinker at St. Paul says: "That was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual." The word "natural" is here used as a synonym for "material."
This line of thought is suggested by a recent article contributed to the newspapers by Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut on China. The senator thinks that the United States, if it desires to maintain profitable trade relations with China, should meet certain classes of Chinese in China on terms of social equality, contrary to the practice existing in international clubs in the treaty ports of Chira, within the portals of which clubs not even a Chinese banker or merchant may lunch with a white man who desires to have commercial relations with that country.
The senator says nothing about any theory, or philosophy; but he does propose a policy of social relationship having as its main purpose the promotion of trade relations between the two countries. There is a lesson in this which

SOME WASHINGTON MUSICIANS MAKING GOOD IN NEW YORK
Russell Wooding, formerly orchestra leader at the Republic Theater, paid a flying visit to the city, his former home, recently and his many friends were indeed glad to see him looking so well and prosperous. He is remembered as one among the leading musicians of Washington a few years since, having been the director and organizer of the Wooding Jubilee Singers who became quite popular at the time. His work at the Republic Theatre was distinctive while there.
Mr. Wooding is now residing in New York City and is pianist and arranger with the Right Quintet of Singers and Players; arranger of Connie's Inn Revues, Le Roy Smith's orchestra, Allie Ross' orchestra, Cotton Club, etc. He is also identified with Miller and Lyles' latest success, "Rang Tang," the music by Ford Dabney, now running on Broadway at the Majestic Theater.
By the way, how many Washingtonians remember Ford Dabney, his theater and orchestra of several years ago? He was a pioneer in popular presentations in this town and his fame spread far and near since going to New York City he has become a permanent fixture in the musical life of that great town. He was formerly orchestra leader in the musical life of that great town. He was formerly orchestra leader at Ziegfield's Midnight Frolic, of New York City, and is the composer of the musical score of the "Rang Tang." He is also director of its orchestra.
"Rang Tang" has Wesley I. Howard as first violinist, George Battles is in the cast, and Elmer Snowden is banjoist in the orchestra—all are well known to Washington. Mr. Howard headed the violin department at Howard University and organized and directed the Washington Civic orchestra for some time. Mr. Battles is well known in church, theatre, and orchestral circles, as is also Mr. Snowden. T.us Washington is becoming a proving ground for New York City and we are wishing each and every one of them success.
WASHINGTON CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC IN RECITAL AT NEW BETHEL BAPTIST
On Sunday afternoon, the Board of Managers of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression, Ninth and T streets, northwest, presented five artists at the New Bethel Baptist Church, in the interest of a special fund for the program of work and service. Among the artists appearing were Miss Avis Andrews, of Howard University, who sang two numbers; C. C. Cohen, of Howard University, who also played two numbers; Peter Phillips, played two numbers on the violin; and Roland Priche sang a tencor solo. Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, who arrived from a speaking trip in Virginia, rendered a number in place of Miss Coppage, who was sick and unable to appear. Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee was the presiding officer of the meeting. Dr. William D. Jarvis is pastor of the church.
REV. RUSSELL INDORSES ASSOCIATION FOR STUDY OF NEGRO HISTORY
Rev. C. L. Russell, president of the National Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, has indorsed the Negro may well ponder and turn over in his mind. It is this: A people who are economically efficient and commercially equipped are armed with powerful weapons which are useful in securing for them equal justice and human consideration in any quarter. If, for instance, we had in this community at least two banks whose capital aggregated one million dollars, and who were clearing house members, can any one doubt that such facts would be an effective lever to move public opinion?

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1927
Remarks of Priest Stir Negro Catholics
(Continued from page 1)
impossible for them to support their own parish, and if I should go to one of them and ask that they support St. Paul's parish I should no doubt be told that they do not belong to my church."
Gives Reasons
"If they desire to be married," Father Dacey continued, "we could not marry them. If they die, we are not supposed to bury them. If they become sick, unless urgent, we are not to administer to them, so why is it they object to their own parishes?"
"The request does not apply only to colored Catholics," the pastor went on, "it is meant for anyone not in the jurisdiction of St. Paul's parish. Every pew in St. Paul's Church is rented." Father Dacey related, "with the exception of the four rows of pews across the rear of the house. Applications have even been made for them, but they have been reserved for persons who are not members of our parish who wish to come to St. Paul's on occasions when it is inconvenient to go to their own churches and such inconvenience would result in their ultimately missing the mass.
He further stated, "I am open to any suggestion on the part of colored persons which serve as a solution to the problem I face. If persons, not members of our parish should be seated in a pew for which rent is paid, friction is bound ot arise. Being a newcomer to Washington, I had no idea that the racial situation here was so sensitive."
Rev. Dacey concluded by saying, "Father Matthews at St. Cypranus has, on a number of occasions, made statements similar to mine Sunday, to white people, but nothing was ever said about it. I am sorry that the colored Catholics have so misinterpreted the attitude of my talk."
For the past several years, colored people have accustomed themselves to being seated in the rear of St. Paul's Church. The action of the ushers recently in slowing the Negro attendants these seats has presented an air of discrimination, and it was not until the interview Wednesday, that the writer could construe the action otherwise. However, when the pastor explained that every pew in the church was rented, the cloud was somewhat cleared. Rev. Francis Tobin, formerly pastor of the Holy Redeemer Church has made the same statement in effect to white persons who persisted in attending his church, the writer learns.
the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History as the greatest organization among Negroes. He calls attention of the ministers of all denominations throughout the United States to the work being done by that organization, and states that it deserves the wholehearted support of each one of them. In his endorsement, Rev. Russell states that the Negroes should imitate the Jew by learning all about their racial history.

YWHAT IS THE WORD?
Work this puzzle for the fun of it. Answer at bottom of second column of this week's Kiddies Corner.
NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER!
Customs and habits are hard things to change. Many Negroes are in the habit of using the word "nigger." This is not confined entirely to that class of Negroes we are so apt to call rowdy. Right in the homes of the better class, in our stores, doctors' offices, church fairs, publishing houses, newspaper offices, church meetings, everywhere, comes the one word which harms us most, the word "nigger."
Recently at a ball game a Negro told a tale in which he used the word about five times a minute. Many white men were near and the colored man just raved and raved and raved with "you niggers," that "old nigger," etc.
Another Negro standing near nudged me and whispered, "Watch me get a cursing out." He then turned to the loud mouthed Negro and said, "Every time you say 'nigger' you are hurting over 12,000,000 Negroes." We will not print what the retort was.
At another time the writer was in a building where three white students were receiving the service of the firm in whose building this incident took place.
Very suddenly the girl in the office came out and yelled "Some niggers make me tired." The students nudged each other and I am sure the favorable impression they had for the firm was marred, if not ruined, just because a thoughtless girl gave play to a thoughtless habit.
It is often heard on ball fields but may we soon lose the habit in those places where our most representative people are supposed to be found.
When you hear the word used at home, work, play, school or church, ask the user what is meant by the word "nigger." At times just a gentle hint can accomplish good. Perhaps in ten years' time Washington will have the distinction of having it said that "Washington is one city in which not a Negro uses the word "nigger." Let us lead.
AFTER EXCITEMENT
Farmer—Come down with me, Jack, and I'll show you the cows. Jack—Huh! Cows ain't exciting to anything but girls. If mamma'll put my red suit on me I'll look at the bull.
BOYS' CLUB CHANGES NAME
The Metropolitan Baptist Boys' Club has changed its name to Norman's Memorial Boys' Club. The suggestion was made by the president, Clarence E. Gilmore, who organized the club through the suggestion of Dr. M. W. D. Norman, late pastor of the church.

EDITH COMMENTS ON STORIES
Dear Editor: I like the story "The Adventures of Thomas" that was written by Alphonso Tinner. It was well written and I got a kick out of it. I do hope that Alphonso will write another story soon. I like completed stories much better than I like continued ones. Everybody has said that they liked William H. Smallwood's story "Checkers." I read it but it was too long—and perhaps boys like that kind of a story. Keep up the good work among us. I wish that the Kiddies' Corner will live for a long long time. EDITH V. WHITE (14)
WHAT BECOMES OF THE OLD
TRIBUNITE?
Dear Editor: It is good to hear from old Tribunites. I often wonder what became of the children who used to be Tribunites several years back. I imagine that when I grow older I will write a letter every now and then to let the boys and girls know what I am doing. I will always be proud that I was one of the group that make up the membership of the Kiddies' Corner.
I enjoyed Natalie Harris' letter last week, and I agree with her. I repeat what she said:
"There is, indeed, a pleasure for one who reads such an interesting page, with its letters and poems by children of our own race."
Although Natalie is seventeen years of age she is not too old to write a line to the best children's column I know.
I hope that more children will write to the page in the future than have been writing recently.
DUNBAR'S "THE SEEDLING"
Dear Editor: Dunbars "The Seedling" is a poem that I would like to suggest that all Buddies will read. I think that it is a good poem for them to learn because if they read it and do like the seedling and try as hard as they can, life would always be open to them and they will reach their goal.
The poem begins:
"As a quiet little seedling
Lay within its darksome bed,
To itself it fell a talking
But I do the best I can
And the seedling from that moment
His work of life began."
Dunbar then tells of how the
seedling grew into a fine plant,
and found pleasure in doing the
work of growing up. He closes
his poem with,
"Little folks, be like the seedling,
Always do the best you can;
Every child must share life's
labor
Just as well as every man.
And the sun and showers will help
you
Through the lonesome struggling
hours,
Till you raise to light and beauty
Virture's fair unfading flower."
The poem is beautiful and
every Tribunite should read the
whole poem, because it will prove
to be a great help to all.

A two-year-old innocent bystander at a fight was hit over the head last Wednesday by a flying water glass. Little Florence Pannell, the youthful spectator to a battle between Nathaniel and Aquilla Wellington (adults), was the victim. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where her scalp wounds were treated. They are said not to be serious.

URBAN LEAGUE GIVES REPORT ON INDUSTRY
URBAN LEAGUE GIVES REPORT ON INDUSTRY
Several reasons are assigned for the continued unemployment period, which is displayed not alone by the number of people out of work but also by the large number who are on part time shifts—working either a limited number of hours a day or a limited number of days per week. These reasons are the slowing up in automobile production due to uncertainties surrounding the long expected new Ford car, the psychology which usually accompanied National elections, economic and trade disturbances between the United States and other counties, and the approaching winter months which always cause a shifting within the labor market.
Advances Shown
There were some slight gains during September, as for instance, in Newark where a Novelty Company employed bench workers and a dress factory employed machine operators thereby increasing their number of colored help. Also in Winston-Salem, where skilled bricklayers, cement finishers and carpenters made a significant gain. Incidentally, Negro union hod carriers scored over open-shop workmen on a 27 story building in Tulsa, Okla. Hotels in two cities, one in Texas and the other in Missouri, decided to use colored orchestras. In Pittsburgh a new hotel opened with a colored headwaiter and a crew of thirty waiters. Here also the coal strike caused the use of colored operators in mines which hitherto deniel Negroes employment. In New York City a large oil company with subsidiaries in various parts of the country has hired its first colored clerk. In Chicago the demand continues for skilled lamp shade workers and power machine operators, fields in which colored girls work in large numbers.
NEW HOSPITAL OPENED IN
NEWARK, N. J.
NEWARK, N. J.—A new hospital, the Kenney Memorial Hospital, has been opened in this city at 132-34 West Kinney street. A large crowd and a lengthy program marked the opening ceremonies. The new hospital will put special stress upon physiotherapy. Dr. Kenney, who is opening the hospital, was formerly a surgeon in Freedmen's Hospital, of Washington. For eight years he was secretary of the National Medical Association, and one year its president. He and three of his associates founded the Journal of the National Medical Association in 1909, of which he is editor-in-chief.

er at the House of Representatives. Congressman Dennis M. Hurley of New York, was responsible for the appointment, which to date is the only one ever accorded a colored man.
Upon the opening of the Library of Congress, Mr. Grimshaw was transferred to the reading room of the House of Representatives and later to the main reading room where he served for more than a score of years with an efficiency record of unusual merit.
While employed at the Library Mr. Grimshaw wrote the only book dealing exclusively with Negro masonry. "The History of Free Masonry" was published in 1903. He was chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence for the Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons of which organization he was the only surviving charter member. Mr. Grimshaw was instrumental in the establishment of this organization over fifty years ago.

spectre of death stalks the air; when comes the hushed tread of solemn feet, and the intermittent sobbing of the bereaved; when the pleasures and beauties of nature are dulled and the whole world in general takes on a dreary and hopeless aspect, it is then that the soft hand of sympathy is laid upon the shoulder of the sorrowing widow, the orphaned child and the prostrate parents. This is the province of the undertaker. It is his stern duty to prepare the mortal remains of the departed for the lone one-way journey to that "bourne from which no traveler returneth," and to comfort the relatives and friends of the deceased. Among the most efficient and noted undertakers in the Capital City may be mentioned the name of Mr. John T. Rhines, of John T. Rhines & Company, whose establishment is located at 901 Third street, southwest, who has been engaged as a funeral director for years and has during that time acquired a well-earned reputation for quality of service and at a reasonable cost that is second to none.
He is an expert embalmer and a master of those little details, the neglect of which causes such untold suffering to the bereaved ones, and is a courteous, dignified appearing man whose presence as a funeral director lends dignity and solemnity to the most pathetic of occasions. He caters to all classes of people, arranging his price to suit the needs of his patron's pocketbooks. Indeed, it is proverbial in his neighborhood that many a person too poor to pay the charges involved has been furnished a Christian funeral by Mr. Rhines.
Mr. Rhines is well known in civic, social and fraternal life of the city and has many friends and acquaintances in all parts of the city.

NEARLY 100 YEARS
SHELBY, N. C., Oct. 21 (PNS).
—Mrs. Caroline Arnold, aged 102
years, has been picking » cotton
each season well over three-quar-
ters of a century.
Last Thursday Mrs. Arnold, the
aged worker, picked 145 pounds
of cotton in'one day.’ Just how
Jong she has been picking cotton
the time-worn woman does not
know. She started many many
years ago as a cotton picker on
‘an old southern plantation when a
child. One guess is that she
might haves been five years old
when she started as it was the
‘custom in slavery days to start
‘the slave children picking cotton
as soon as they were big enough
to toddle. If she started as was
the custom she has been picking
cotton for, 97 years, just~ three
years shy of a century,

Is the Church Losing Ground?
The Washington Tribune will not attempt to
answer this question. However, The Washing-
ton Tribune takes a keen interest in the accom-
plishments of the Race. It recognizes the
Church as the corner-stone of civilization. The
Church does a great work, but—
Does the Church Reach
the Whole Race?
The Church takes care of its flock. It should
reach out to the highways and hedges. It
should create a general religious interest in the
iminds of all the people.
.
The Tribune Will Co-operate
With the Church
TO create such a religious interest in the minds
of its readers. Beginning next week, The Tri-
bune will include a CHURCH PAGE as a regy-
lar feature of the paper. This page will carry
the ordér of services at the various churches.
A Church a Week will be intimately described.
The Sunday School Lesson and a Sermon, or
Bible Story will also be carried; as well as the
news and jottings of the affairs at the churches.
‘The slogan is, “Go to Church Sunday.”
*
Will Your Church Co-operate?
Make yourself a committee of one to interest
your church in The Tribune's Church Page. For

Colesville Tigers Won Class B Honors Last Sunday Howard - Morehouse Tie; West Virginia Prepared
Due to a misunderstanding in telegraphic communications, the score of the Howard-Morehouse game last Saturday was published wrong in the window of The Washington Tribune office. Instead of a Howard victory by the score of 14-7, the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock. The telegrams gave a repetition of Ross' touchdown.
Journeying to Atlanta, Ga., last Saturday the Howard University football team, after more than a week's day-off, returned to form long enough to hold the strong and fast-travelling Morehouse machine to a 7-7 deadlock.
The local eleven scored early in the third quarter when a blocked punt paved the way for the Blue and White touchdown. In the period prior to this the Bisons had their march to the final ribbon broken by two 15-yard penalties, inflated for alleged slugging.
A Morehouse march, in the final quarter aided by a heavy penalty placed on the Bisons, because a Howard player, in the heat of the contest, choked and slapped the referee, resulted in a touchdown.
Later in the same period Jack Cole intercepted a Morehouse pass after the Georgians had worked the ball to the Blue and White 5-yard line, which no doubt saved the day for the 1926 champions.
Pete Tyson, doing the punting for the Bisons performed in creditable style. His kicking was the best seen on a Howard team for the past three or four years, according to reports.
Frantic in his search for capable wing material Coach Watson seems to have slipped up on a discovery. Snake Ewell, a 1926 back placed on a flank, last Saturday, proved the best of the Blue and White experiments this season.
In commenting on the game, Coach Watson says:
"It was generally conceded that the game should have been Howard's, for every break was in favor of the Morehouse team. Ross made two touchdowns from the four-yard line before Howard was conceded a score.
"Jack Young fumbled after advancing the ball to Morghouse's three-yard line, wifi. first down and goal to go. Kelly was one step late in taking out a Morehouse man or Harry Payne would have run the kick off to a touchdown.
"The Morehouse score was made possible by penalties inflicted upon Howard which put her in scoring distance from where she went over on a short pass on fourth down. Her try for the extra point failed, the official ruled no point. Score. Howard 7. Morehouse 6. It was afterwards decided that Howard's right end was offside and Morehouse was awarded the point, which made the final score Howard 7. Morehouse 7."
ST. PAUL DOWNS SMITH
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.-In a game, marked with excitement throughout, the St. Paul University eleven downed the John C. Smith gridders 12-0 here last Saturday.
The home team played its first string, without a substitution, through the first half. Smith carried the ball over for two successive scores in that period. He and Capt. Williams were the outstanding stars for St. Paul while Walker shone for Johnson C. Smith.

THE SPORT REVIEW
BROOKLAND, D. C.—The play-off game between McKenzie's and Taylor's Anacostia Athletics and Bill Braxton's Coleville Tigers for the championship of Class B in the Washington Tribune Baseball League, went to the latter when they out-scored the boys from the eastern branch of the Potomac 5-4 out here last Sunday. Pick Berry and Lefty Jackson faced each other on the mound as the cry of "play ball" sounded, but neither survived to hear the final "game" voiced. The verdict was no doubt garnered by the Marylanders simply because Manager Brooks' choice of a relief hurler was not as good as that of the rival Coleville chieftain.
Clayborne, the A. C. selection to stop the Tiger bats when Berry had failed, evidently did not have his stuff, on the other hand Frazier, the Colesville relief, exhibited a blinding fast ball with which the Anacostiens could not connect. Had Frazier and Stewart who succeeded Clayborne on the mound started the contest, it would have been a great battle.
Fully 400 persons witnessed the proceedings and a larger crowd is expected to be present out here next Sunday when Colesville meets the Elite Panthers, Class A winners for the city championship, Anacstia ab h r|Colesville ab h r

LIONS LOSE THIRD GAME OF SEASON TO HAMPTON
LIONS LOSE THIRD GAME OF SEASON TO HAMPTON
By James B. Clarke
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
Oct. 20 - The Blue and White football squad of Hampton Institute whipped the Lincoln Lion into submission by actually outplaying the Morrison clan at the Black Sox Baseball Park, 12-0. From the beginning of the game things looked as though Hampton and her iron fore wall and fast backfield were masters of the situation. Only once was the Lion dangerous and that was in the third quarter when Lincoln had eight yards and four downs to gain a touchdown. They failed to make an impression on the line, so the forward pass was resorted to. As a result twelve passes were thrown and only-two were completed.
The stars for Lincoln could easily be named as Captain, Wells, Clark, Jackson, and Hibler. The defense of Lincoln was weak, but their deceptive plays on the offense were the means of consistent ground gaining. For Hampton Captain Williams, ex-captain Lee, Baker, and Davis could be named as the shining lights. The defence of Hampton was like a stone wall, and the offense was fast, but erratic at times.
The games to be played on Armstrong field this season are Petersburg, October 22; St. Paul, October 29; A. & T, November 12. The A. & T game will be the homecoming game this fall. The A. & T. Bulldogs have one of the best teams in the history of the college and large numbers of Hampton alumni will be back to witness the contest.

THE REFLECTOR
THE REFLECTOR
By Sam Lacy
"Much to do about nothing" (worth while)—is a very good and fitting title for the narration of the happenings at Howard University the past few weeks. The controversy between the football squad, backed by the student body, and the Board of Athletic Control, supported by the President and the faculty, was started about nothing really difficult of solution and accomplished less than nothing of importance.
The origin of the entire trouble is surrounded by a cloud. President Johnson—the minister—characterizes the practice of providing free training table and quarters for football men as dishonest. The Board of Athletic Control—the efficiency expert—shows the custom as uneconomical. What was the trouble?
The Executive, in his speech at the student mass meeting, October 7, declared that the custom of the University of providing free meals and quarters for football players had been discontinued in order that the moral difference between Howard's promise and her practice be removed. He referred to the agreement between Howard and the institutions with which she competes in regard to using amateur players. Dr. Johnson contends that athletes are not amateurs when they are being allowed to violate Article 6, Section B, of the Board of Athletic Control Constitution, which reads: "No student shall be eligible to membership in any team who receives from others than those on who he is naturally dependent for financial support money, or the equivalent of money, such as board and lodging, etc., unless the source and character of these gifts of payments to him shall be approved by the Board of Athletic Control, on the ground that they have not accrued to him primarily because of his ability as an athlete." If the University pays the expenses of a football training table the players are being professionalized according to the Constitution and the Howard prexy's way of thinking. Yet when a member of the Board of Athletic Control declares that the University is willing to pay the additional tax incurred for meals for a man on a football training table, such tax being made necessary by the difference in the diet of an athlete and the ordinary student, the minister loses sight of the fact that no student is "naturally dependent" on Howard University. He forgets that this diet is prescribed because those men are athletes.
Where the promise to other institutions is concerned, Dr. Johnson is no doubt in ignorance, as to the offer of one of those schools to a Howard football player in an attempt to have that man transfer himself from the "Hill" to that school. The player, one of the outstanding Negro players in the country in 1926 and a member of the present Blue and White squad, has letters in his possession from authorities of a college with whom Howard engages, urging him to take up his studies at their school. He has had his railroad fare offered in the form of a ticket which is to be delivered to him at his bidding. Howard plays that school although the Constitution provides that "The Board of Athletic Control shall have the power of investigation and action in all circumstances arising in the conduct of athletics at Howard University, or in relations with Howard University's athletic rivals, which involve, or seem to involve, professionalism or unsportsmanlike spirit or conduct, or other similar questions."
The Constitution also sets forth that no schedule shall be arranged by the manager without the sanction of the Board of Athletic Control. On the other hand, the efficiency expert reveals the extravagance of the practice. Football, the Trustees find, through a financial report of the Secretary-Treasurer, used $21,000 in excess of what was taken in last year. The Board of Athletic Control—or rather the faculty members—hurriedly approved the abolition of the training table which costs approximately $3000 as a move of economy. Yet Howard University will, because of eccentric egism and foolish independence, refuse to compromise with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and re-center that organization. Instead of meeting the C.I.A.A. authorities in conference and attempting to straighten out the difficulty, the learned Blue and White officials ignore the efforts of the C.I.A.A. to compromise and resume athletic relations. Howard has turned her back on colleges in this section to play teams coming from a greater distance, incurring a larger expense upon themselves, but drawing a smaller "gate." Washingtonians would rather see Hampton play Howard than Morehouse. Larger crowds would, I dare say, witness games with V.N.I.L. and Union than would care to see Livingstone or Fisk play. Instead of playing these teams which would cost them less money and would draw more people, Howard proceeded to head a movement to organize a similar organization made up of schools which will adhere to Howard's method in regard to the running of intercollegiate athletics. Could not the fall sport at Howard University be run on a much more economical basis if the combined expense of more than $3,000 for playing the two Atlanta, Ga., teams, be erased? To pay Fisk upward of $1700 for a game of the calibre of a Howard-Fisk game is, to this column, most unreasonable.
All in all it seems—if it is anything at all—a triangular upheaval. The trustee wants to save money, the President wants to save his face (as a minister), and the Board of Athletic Control wants to save its self-styled prestige as the dictator in intercollegiate athletics.
ARMSTRONG SCORES IN MANASSAS ELEVEN LOSES CONFERENCE OPENER TO DUNBAR GRIDDERS
Coach Westmoreland's Armstrong Tech gridders in their first Interstate High School Conference football game of the 1927 season defeated their traditional Manassas Institute rivals 12-0 at Manassas last Saturday.
Thorne, veteran quarterback of the 1626 Orange and Blue machine and Dabney, the present Tech captain, were responsible for the local eleven's scores. The first touchdown was scored by the former early in the game while his leader carried the ball over for the second just as the whistle sounded to cease hostilities for the rest period. A neatly executed lateral pass which completely baffled the Virginians netted this final score.
Thorne and Dabney were in the first string backfield for Coach West's boys with a pair of new backs. Campbell and White, the latter recently transferred from Dunbar filled the remaining gans.
The kicking for the Orange and Blue team was taken care of by Thorne, who delivered in creditable style. Norcum High School, of Portsmouth, Va., are Armstrong's guests in the local school team's second conference game today. The affair will take place at Howard Stadium, beginning at 3:15 p.m.
The Togans A. C., formerly of the Washington Tribune Baseball League is having a benefit entertainment at the New Liberty Hotel, Saturday evening, October 29. Webb Lee, manager, is anxious that all his team's friends and admirers attend.
TOGANS ENTERTAIN
-
Dunbar High School's well balanced grid team completely outclassed a new Manassas Institute eleven at Howard Stadium yesterday. Two touchdowns, one of which was followed by a Manassas penalty on the try for point netted the Red and Black lads a 13-0 verdict.
Joe Sewell, Dunbar fullback, picked up a loose ball, after 4 minutes of play and run 51 yards for the initial score. In the third quarter, quarterback Larry fumbled on the Virginians' 3-yard mark, the ball bounding over the goals into the arms of Luz, local nuffback. Sewell missed the try for point via drop kick.
Manassas showed how much they miss the services of the Chambers brothers. Ted who coached the team and turned out a very smooth combination last season is at present a student of the Howard Medical School. Little Eddie Chambers is matriculating at Lincoln.
Lester Braden, chosen last season as undergraduate manager of the Howard University football team was relieved of that position on the return of the Blue and White squad from Atlanta, Ga., this week. No definite reason for Braden's discharge could be ascertained up to a late date, but it is known that the former manager and Coach L. L. Watson experienced no little difficulty getting along.
Henry Jongs, a student from Springfield, Mass., succeeds Braden. The ex-manager was once a football player himself, under Dr. W. E. Morrison.

"BEAT HOWARD MOUNTAINEER SLOGAN
"BEAT HOWARD MOUNTAINEER SLOGAN
For the last two weeks the entire Yellow Jacket squad has been drilling with one purpose in mind, and that is beat Howard. The grimnes and intensity of their determination and the thoroughness in which the coaches and entire squad is preparing for this game indicates that there will be a fierce battle when the two teams meet at Charleston, Saturday, October 22.
Institute must avenge the defeat of last year when they lost 14-7 at Washington. The Howard team is anxious to make the victory more decisive this year.
Coaches Hamblin and Goode of Institute are stressing the offense of the team. Drills in forward passes, end run, and off tackle plays with plenty of deception is generally the program for each practice.
Head coach Hamblin is having a difficult time picking his first team. At the present time the line-up may be as follows Lennons and Stevens, tackle; Anderson and Kyles, guard; Johnson, center; Washington and Nelson ends; Nash, quarterback; Captain Branch and Hundley, halfback; Boxdale, fullbac' Scott and Patterson could be starred in guard; Froe, tackle, and Woolridge, Smith and Martin may be starred at end. McConnell, regular fullback, has hurt his ankle but Gilda, a freshman, and Boxdale, of last year's squad, are filling his place well.
FORMING GRID LEAGUE
The Teddy Bear, Alexandria Roamer, Buffalo, Georgetown Prep, Stonewall and Washington Pirate football teams are urged to have a representative of their club meet the sports editor of the Washington Tribune in this office, 920 U street, northwest, on Monday night, October 24 at 6:30 o'clock sharp. An attempt will be made to organize a Tribune football league. Each representative is urged to be prompt.
ALEX ROAMERS TRIM
LOCAL BUFFALOES
ALEX ROAMERS TRIM
LOCAL BUFFALOES
About eight hundred fans witnessed the Roamer-Buffalo football game in Alexandria, Va., last Sunday in which the Virginians defeated Coach Whitaker's team, 13-0.
"Hooks" Poindexter, half-back for the Roamers, scored both touchdowns, the first score coming after a series of off-tackle plays. The second marker came in the third quarter when Poindexter received a well-directed pass from Shanklin, full-back, and ran 25 yards to the goal line. Taylor, who was substituted to drop-kick, added the extra point.
The Roamers, as usual, presented a stubborn forward wall, defensively. "Claudie". Evans, new comer to the Virginians, showed up very well.
Burke, center, and Mason, back, both of the Buffalo herd, and Scott, Hawkins and Miller, of the victor's line, were the most outstanding players of the game.
The game was played on the newly acquired Roamer field, which was secured through the courtesy of Attorney Collins of Alexandria. The officials were: Brown, referee; Richardson, umpire. For games with the Roamers, address Wm. Murray, 813 Princess street, Alexandria, Va., or call Washington, North 667.
MILES MEMORIAL COLLEGE HOLDS TALLADEGA TO 7-0 SCORES
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 15. In one of the closest battles ever waged by the two institutions, the Tallaidega eleven was held to one touchdown by the scrapy Miles' team before a large crowd at the State Fair in Birmingham. The contest ended 7-0.
The Miles' team under the leadership of Coach, Ford put up a noble fight and was overcome only by the stellar air work of Cooper and James who featured in the lone touchdown and points thereafter.
James' interception of the Miles' pass and sprinting forty yards for a touchdown, which was declared void because of a T. C. penalty on some play, was the thrill of the day. Other features were the broken field running of Pearson of Talladega, and the terrific line plunging of Meggreger together with his defensive work and that of Miles' two wings, Clay and Yarborough.
KNOW THE GAME OF FOOTBALL
KNOW THE GAME OF FOOTBALL
By Dr. Edwin B. Henderson
(EDITOR'S NOTE—This column is devoted to answering any questions about the game of football that our readers may ask. Send in your questions to the Tribune, addressed to the writer. The rule makers made apparently a few simple changes purely intended to meet a few simple needs, but the discussions and evident inconsistencies afford a lot of unsettled possibilities. A lawyer is still needed to untangle some of the verbiage and arrive at the exact meaning. In the last few days the rules committee has released a "pink" sheet with newer interpretations. Dr. Henderson is Head of the Department of Physical Education in the colored high schools of Washington, D. C. For personal replies, send self-addressed envelope along with the questions.)
Question—When is a substitution complete?
Answer—An incoming player is considered as having been substituted when he reports to the referee or umpire, has designated the player for whom he has been sent in, and his substitution has received the approval of the captain.
Q. Are colored football games up to the standards set by the best football games in the country?
A. This is a big order. In some respects yes; in others, no. Many of our players are equal in physical ability and in mental qualities to the best players in the country. I sometimes think that many of our players are more instinctive in the use of natural abilities to meet stimuli and situations met in football.
Our boys as a rule do not train as consciously as do players on many of the big teams. Training is not only a matter of meals at a training table. Some of these training table diets are opposed to science and the individual differences of the men are little considered. The matter of sleep, study periods, and other habits of living are essentially concerned with training; yet some of the men in training will spend several night hours in the smoke laden atmosphere of pool rooms or some other lounging place during the training season.
The plays used and the strategy are similar to that of any game. Our official work is as good as the work done generally, and some of our officials are equal to some of the men of the biggest reputation in the country. The rules are but laws that require close study and ready accurate interpretations and decisions on the field of action.
Last Saturday in the Notre Dame game the officials repeatedly let a Navy end get in motion and be not more than three yards behind the scrimmage line when the ball was snapped from his center without drawing a penalty. With hundreds of weird decisions made every Saturday afternoon, only very occasionally do we see mention of the "bulls" made. Glenn Warner came out the other day to alibi for a loss and Harvard coaches rightfully squealed last fall, but too often the error of one of our officials is the leading discussion about a game.
We can learn much more yet about the management of games. In many respects we have made progress. There is less razzing of officials or opponents. The affair of Gibson's last year was just a flare-back. Our ushers in seating crowds are a little better. Also our luminaries in many ranks of life would help matters if they paraded less at games and stayed put. At football, Knute Rockne, outranks anybody but President Coolidge, and often he comes out second best when Knute is on the field.
V. N. I. I. TOO GOOD FOR VIRGINIA SEMINARY
PETERSBURG, Va., Oct. 15.—Coming back fresh from their defeat last week at the hands of the A. and T., the fast Virginia State ran up a 19 to 0 score against Virginia Seminary and would have had another touchdown were it not for the fact that an off-side penalty was inflicted. Early in the first quarter Johnson tossed a 25-yard pass to Payne who ran 25 yards more for the first touchdown. William's kick for the extra point went wild. In the second quarter Overby made two 15-yard gains through the Seminary line placing the ball upon the 40-yard line. Another long pass to Payne was good for thirty more and on the next play Johnson skirted the end for the second score. Seminary was offside on the try for goal.
Hardly had the third quarter
begun when Overby snared a Sem-
inary pass from his 20-yard line
and ran 80 yards for a touchdown.
The try for the extra point via
forward pass failed.

"FLASHES OF 1928" AT THE NATIONAL NETWORK WEEK
HOWARD NEXT WEEK
One week beginning Monday
matinee, October 24, the Howard
Theatre management will present a
musical review "Flashes of
1028" with an all-star cast headed
by the well known Izzy Ringgold,
late of "Connie's Inn," Billy
Andrews, Galli de Gaston, Andrew
Tribble, Chadney and Taylor,
Mary Straine, Alice Dixon,
The Three Dancing Fools, and a
beautiful chorus of ten dizzy dancers.
As an added attraction for the week, the theatre management has secured the services of "The Great Evans, the mystery man. It is impossible to keep him in jail or in irons. He escapes from any and all handcuffs, chains, ropes and locks. He will escape from a strait-jacket while in the air. On Wednesday evening only, "The Great Evans" will allow a stone weighing 250 pounds to be broken on his chest with a 20-lb. sledge hammer. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there will be seen the "Truthful Sex" with Huntley Gordon, Mae Busch and Ian Keith. This is a tangle of lovers and liars. It tells the gripping story of a marriage and estrangement, and of the unintentional reconciliation brought about by a child.
For Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the screen attraction will be Reginald Denny in "Out All Night." This is an amusing story of a millionaire bachelor who falls in love with a musical comedy actress and the riot of fun that the couple create on their honey-moon trip when the bride finds she has violated one of the provisions of he. contract will undoubtedly keep the audience in a round of laughter from start to finish.
On Friday night the regular m..night ramble will be held. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box-office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show.
UNDERWORLD RIOT FOLLOWS
SLAYING OF GANG
Another raw, red melodrama was enacted in the underworld early this morning. "Bull" Weed, noted leader in crime, shot and killed his rival for gang supremacy, "Buck" Mulligan, following the latter's attempt to steal "Feathers." Weed's girl
Weed and Mulligan both attended "The Big Drag" last night, the annual underworld dance. Weed, through his powerful influence, had "Feathers" voted queen of the dance. Mulligan, who had long been a sworn enemy of Weed's, thinking that Weed was too drunk to interfere, lured "Feathers" into an empty room on the pretext of being crowned queen of the party. Mulligan's girl, insanely jealous of him, carried the news to Weed, who broke down the door, but not before Mulligan could make good his escape. Weed followed, and finding Mulligan in his flower shop, fired one shot killing him instantly. The police were immediately notified, and hurrying to Weed's hangout captured him at a determined fight. He is now in the Tombs awaiting trial.
What a story—will Weed be hung or will he go free? For further information of the underworld's sensational murder, see Paramount's latest super special picture "Underworld," picturing the love of two crooks for one girl and the resulting conflict. Clive Brook, Evelyn Brent, George Bancroft and Larry Semon portray the principal roles. "Underworld" will be shown at the Republic Theatre for four days—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 23, 24, 25 and 26.

DANIEL L. HAYNES AN UN
USUAL CHARACTER IN
"RANG TANG"
Daniel L. Haynes, the man with the big bass voice, who is appearing at present with Miller and Lyles in "Rang Tang," coming to Ford's Theatre, Baltimore, for one week beginning Monday, October 24, made his first appearance on any stage as recently as last February. There is ample indication, however, that his voice will be taken into many other Broadway shows in the next few years. Haynes, who was born in Atlanta, started his stage career quite by chance. Merely through hearing his speaking voice, he was selected to understudy Charles Gilpin in "The Bottom of the Cup." Gilpin fell ill, and Haynes opened the show. His reputation was made. Then came a part in a play called "Earth," and following "Earth" came "Rang Tang," his first musical show.
He is a graduate of Morris Brown University and spent some time studying at the University of Chicago. He has mixed business with his music and studies and is now the manager of a successful printing business in Brooklyn.
During his college days, he began collecting spirituals and arranging them for "natural" Negro voices. The spirituals in "Rang Tang" were arranged by Haynes and Clarence Todd, another member of the company.
MILLER ANI LYLE'S "RANG
TANG" IN BALTIMORE
"Rang Tang," the show which captivated Broadway, will play in Baltimore next week with its entire cast intact. It will be presented at Ford's Theatre.
The casts will be headed by Miller and Lyles, who won fame in "Shuffle Along," "Runnin' Wild," George White's "Scandals," and in "The Great Temptations." Others that it embraces are singers, dancers and comedians, among are Evelyn Preer, Josephine Hall, Daniel L. Haynes, Zaidie Jackson, Lillian Westmoreland, May Barnes, Lavena Mack, Marie Mahood, George Battles, Gilbert Holland, Joe Willis, Pauline Jackson, Inez Draw, and others.
This new Miller and Lyles show surpasses by far any colored production ever offered to the public, and New York critics vied with each other in heaping praises upon the company and the merits of the play and music. It is considered by some to be on a more elaborate scale than either Ziegfield's "Follies," or George White's "Scandals." There are twenty big song numbers and ten dancing features. The production consists of fourteen big settings, and 562 costumes.
Though playing in Baltimore, the show will not be brought to Washington.

"THE BIG PARADE" AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK
LINCOLN NEXT, WEEK
The first upnown showing of the long awaited and much heralded photoplay production "The Big Parade" will be made at the Lincoln Theatre for one week, beginning Sunday, October 23.
John Gilbert, the perfect lover of the screen, will be seen in the leading role, he is ably supported by Renee Adoree. Among the other well known players in the supporting cast will be seen Karl Dane, Hobart Bosworth, Tom O'Brien and Clair Adams. The story was written by Lawrence Stallings and was directed by King Vidor. It depicts in an unusual and convincing manner the hardships of our doughboys during the great conflict, and all through the production runs a gigantic love theme which proves that true love is even greater than battles.
This, the greatest of all motion pictures, is the only piece of film that has ever played for 95 consecutive weeks on Broadway at

LTousaint Duers, yes —I'm practically sure I have his name right—anyway, it's the fellow who's singing at the Lincoln this week about whom I'm writing. With a high tenor voice, almost so high, seemingly, for a man, Duers succeeds in pleasing the audiences at the Lincoln this week. Duer's voice is soft, even tender, and sweet. And he knows how to sing. The songs he put over best were "Me and My Shadow," and "Yesterday." Indeed, his renditions were so good that the audience applauded until he returned for an encore.
As it was, I saw the last show Sunday. At the two performances previous to that one on Sunday, Duers' singing was accompanied by word-slides of the songs he was rendering, and the audience was requested to sing with him. Although there was no din of noise raised, he did succeed in getting the people to hum along with him in sounds loud enough to be heard, which is unusual. The slide part of the act was cut out, however, after the first two shows Sunday.
Drake and Walker are presenting "My Chocolate Gal" at the Howard Theatre this week. Though minus its orchestra, the show is peppy, entertaining, and worth while seeing. Indeed, it is not only different from Drake's last appearance here, but better.
The leading lady, or rather I should say the "Chocolate Gal," is Ethel Walker, who in private life is Mrs. Henry Drake. Then there's Drake, himself, who works with Sambo Reid as Sambo, and Henry. The others include Jimmy Baskette, leading man, Stringbeans Price, Lane, Jackie Mabley; the harmony birds, Noble and Cryor, May Belle, William Drake, Estella Edwards the soubrette, and Elfis and Perry, the kid tap-dancers.
The show is full of good singing and dancing. Those kids, Ellis and Perry are about the best
youngsters I've seen caper on the stage. The house came down in applause, however, when Cryor sang "Muddy Waters." Previous to hearing him, I had always been of the opinion that Gene Austin, the Victor Record Artist, was the only one who could really sing that song. But now, my mind has been changed. Cryor puts more feeling and melody into that song than anyone else I've heard. And he does it with such case. The other songs he sings go over just as well, too.
Jackie Mabley's humor is, to say the least, refreshing. She has a way of putting over whatever she does with such knack that one never tires of seeing or hearing her. It was really funny to hear her sing "Yestiddy," when of course, she meant "Yesterday." Jackie, by the way, is a native Washingtonian. She was born on Nichols avenue in Anacostia. Her old acquaintances will know her, doubt, as Loretta Mabely.
COLORED ACTORS SWOOP DOWN ON BROADWAY
Reproduced here is an article appearing in the Washington Times of Tuesday, October 18, concerning the popularity and demand for Negro actors and actresses on Brodaway. Quite contrary is this to the announcements at the beginning of the season, when it was declared that colored actors would be "out of it" this year. Only one all-colored show was to have a chance on the Columbia Circuit and what would become of the rest was a mystery. Here below is the solution.
"NEW YORK, Oct. 17—New York's amusement season, having swung into full momentum, reveals an unprecedented demand for negro performers, so much so that at present negro entertainers of all sorts are being imported daily from every state in the South and
as far away as California.
"And the principal influences toward this situation have been the high-brow producers, including the Theatre Guild, the Provincetown Players, Flrenz Ziegfeld, Jr., David Belasco and others of high theatrical standing.
"The guild opened its year at its own theatre with a dramatization of "Porgy," an exposition of the lowdown life of the negro in charleston, employing forty-six negro players and four whites, the latter having minor roles. The Provincetown group revived the Pulitzer prize play, "In Abraham's Bosom," with a preponderance of negro actors. Ziegfield starts rehearsal today of "Show Boat," Edna Ferber's story, with forty negroes in the ensemble. Belasco's "Lulu Belle," with thirty-four negro people supporting Leonore Ulric, broke Brooklyn records last week and is a sensation along the Manhattan "subway circuit."
"Arthur Hammerstein will open his Memorial Theatre on Broadway with "Golden Dawn," employing sixty negroes. Gene Buck is rehearsing "Take the Air," with six; "Black Velvet," closing this week has ten "Sidewalks of New York," a solid success, uses ten; "Rang Tang," all-negro, occupies one of the largest Times Square houses and is in for a run, patronage practically all white; "Emperor Jones," starring Charles Gilpin, and other negroes supporting him, is playing nearby "stands."
"The large picture palaces, almost with one voice, have also gone Brownskin. The ace, Roxy, this week has the Jubilee Singers, some 50; the Paramount last week featured the Dixie Choir, of 16, playing elsewhere now on the same local circuit; at the Capitol, James Johnson, negro, is conducting the white concert orchestra; several specialty performers of the race are scattered about other leading film houses.
"The Alhambra, recently a leading uptown Keith vaudeville house, is on a profit basis with a musical stock company, all negro, with a company of 51, and like the Lafayette and other Harlem negro shows reports about 60 per cent white trade. Soon to come are "Gon-
SEVEN
hered" and "The Black Phantom," under Standard management, with colored actors, for Broadway locations. The Mamie Smith Revue, with 25 of her people, likewise aimed for the Rialto is rehearsing and a 1927 edition of "7-11" is being cast for similar exploitation.
"Florence Mills, recently, returned from English and French triumphs, has several starring offers and a first-class vaudville contract which she has not yet signed, holding off for $3,500 weekly. For some time the "Black-and-Tan" cabbages along Lenox Avenue have been a late-hour "blow-off" habit for the jaded. They have increased in numbers, are advertising in the dailies and offering "hotty totsy" entertainment.
"But, more extraordinary, is the announcement that two of last season's night clubs in the swiftest portions of the white belt, both operated by Texas Guinan and in turn padlocked but now released, will star negro women. Ethel Waters, who recently closed in her own show, takes over the "300 Club." supported by a dozen white girls. Florence, a Harlem negress, who created a bit of a furore in Paris and has been specially imported, landed last Friday, and will be the sole attraction at the "Texas Guinan Club" on Forty-eighth Street.
"The Columbia burlesque 'wheel,' leading organization of that branch of the theatricals, announces three all-negro and one mixed' among its shows now girdling its circuit.
"Numerous agencies entirely devoted to securing and supplying negro talent have sprung up and cannot meet the demand. A leading dance-teacher of the day is Billy Pierce, negro, who is getting the call not only from ambitious amateurs and callow professionals, but also from society debs and matrons. Negro jazz bands are the vogue at private parties among the best families.
"And Cecil De Mille has brought the picture rights to 'Porgy', which requires an almost all-negro company, a revolutionary innovation for the screen, indeed."

EIGHT
DATES SET FOR DEDICATIONS OF SCHOOLS
Dates for the dedication of three new school buildings were approved by the Board of Education at its meeting at the Franklin School building last Wednesday afternoon. They were submitted for approval by First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. The Randall Junior High School building will be dedicated on Armistice Day, November 11. The Francis Junior High School building will be dedicated on January 6. This date was selected in order to give Hugh Francis time to be present at the dedicatory exercises. He is one of the sons of the late Dr. John Francis, for whom the building is named, and is a practicing attorney in San Juan, Porto Rico. He has advised Mr. Wilkinson that he will be present at the dedication. The Bruce School building will be dedicated on February 8. This date is in "Negro History Week."
Miss Johnson Eligible
The school board approved the recommendation of Mr. Wilkinson and directed that the name of Miss Dorothy Johnson be placed No. 10 on the eligible list of Miner Normal School graduates. She was in the June class. At the time of her entrance into the Miner Normal school, she failed to pass the physical examination. She was allowed to matriculate upon her signing a statement that after graduation she would not be a candidate for appointment to a teaching position in the District public schools.
In May Miss Johnson was given another physical examination. She passed. She reguiated her agreement and demanded that she be given a place on the eligible list according to her class standing. The board approve dthe following personnel matters:

RANDALL
The first educational faculty meeting of the school was held Thursday, October 13, at which time the members of the faculty were favored with an instructive paper by Mrs. Plummer on the "Evolution of a marking system from chaos to order" and one by Miss Boyd on "Teachers' marks and the reconstruction of the marking system."
The week from October 10 to 14 was observed as Fire Prevention Week throughout the school. As a culmination of this, Section 7-3, under the direction of Mrs. Black, presented a very instructive and explanatory program of fire prevention. Raymond Fowler, of Section 7-3, acted as master of ceremonies.
Liberalization Aim In Student Strike
(Continued from page 1)
rounding white community tried to force the school into a policy of segregation at its public entertainments. But back of him was the trustee board. The students now believe that the school administration is trying surreptiously to placate the white South.
The trouble began Saturday evening, October 8, when lights were kept on during a moving picture show. The students showed their resentment by yelling and singing. An officer of the school remarked that the lights were left on to prevent "petting." This simply served to incite the students.
On Sunday morning the college students in the James Hall dormitory refused to admit the inspecting officers. At the morning and evening Sunday services the stu

On Monday, October 10, the students attempted to confer with the principal. An emergency committee of 20 was organized. The principal refused to meet this committee and gave the students 10 minutes to get into their classes. This time was later extended.
On the next day the students tried to get a hearing before the administrative board. They were denied this hearing, the board refusing to deal with them as long as the strike was in progress. On Tuesday afternoon the students returned to their classes.
On October 12, the administrative board issued a bulletin exonerating the young women and new students from participation in the strike, putting those who had been on strike on probation, and serving notice that the leaders in the strike were also on probation and disciplining of them was under consideration.
When the students realized the school officials intended to take action against those who were considered the leaders and that there would be no general annesty, the strike was resumed.
On October 12 the administrative board voted to close the school until further notice. Students who desired to remain were given permission to do so upon satisfying the school authorities of their loyalty to the administration, their purpose to obey all rule and to co-operate to preserve order and peace. Applications to remain until classes are resumed had to be made to the commandant and the dean of women and were submitted to the administrative board. Students leaving were refunded the unused portion of their board. More than 500 students are reported to have left for their homes. Four young men, who were considered ringleaders, have been dismissed.

BOOTLEGGING MADE HER
HUBBY CRUEL; SUES HIM
BOOTLEGGING MADE HER
HUBBY CRUEL; SUES HIM
She and her husband lived happily together until he began boot-legging and drinking, says Mrs. Augusta Staley, 539 Florida avenue, northwest, in her suit for a limited divorce from her husband Ulysses Staley, 315 Fifth-seventh street, northeast, dled in the District Supreme Court last Tuesday.
She and her husband got along fairly well until two years ago. Mrs. Staley declares, when he began bootlegging and getting drunk himself. He brought liquor into their home, she states, and over her protests and objections had people to come to the house buying it, some drinking it or. the premises and others carrying it away. He became cruel and abusive, she charges, and on February 15 while she was ill he "brutally beat" her. When she screamed and threatened to call the police, she says, he picked up a broom and threatened to kill her. On April 10, she alleges, he assaulted her, knocking her down and causing her to cut a deep gash in her head and leg and to break her big toe. As a result she was confined to the house, she says, for three weeks under the care of Dr. Philip Johnson.
Did Not Prosecute
She agreed not to prosecute him, Mrs. Staley assures, upon his promise to do better, pay the physician and stop drinking bootleg liquor. He did not keep his promise, she says, but ordered her out of his home on April 30.
She went to No. 317 Fifty-seventh street, northwest, where he is living and which is owned jointly by them, on July 4. He struck her, she charges, and had his brother, Albert Staley, to put her out of the house.
The monthly payments on this house, she declares, are $200 in arrears, her husband made this year only three monthly payments of $25 each, although he, his brothers, sisters and cousins are getting the exclusive use and benefit of it. She is advised, she states, that the house is soon to be sold at public auction.
Her husband is employed at the Union Station and carms $125 a month. She asks the court to award her alimony, counsel fees and court costs. Mrs. Staley is represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott.

MORGAN COL'GE SWAMPS BORDENTOWN ELEVEN
BORDENTOWN, N. J.—Charlie Drew's Morgan Bears ran rough-shod over the Bordentown Manual Training Institute eleven in a one-sided game here last Saturday. The score was 40-7. The first half ended 33-0 after the Morganites had garnered 20 points in the opening period and 13 in the second. The third quarter was free of any scoring while both elevens benefitted to the extent of a touchdown each in the closing stanza. Waples and Edwards were in the starring roles for the Jerseyans, and Pinkie Clarke, star Morgan back, was the outstanding player in the invading eleven.

PAINE COLLEGE TROUNCES
ALLEN
ATLANTA, Ga.—Four rapier-like passes from Wiggins to Cunningham, two short runs around right end by Wiggins, and a sensational 60-yard dash around left end by Bowman ran up a brilliant 44-0 victory against Allen for a remodeled and completely rejuvenated Paine machine this afternoon on Paine Field. The reserves replaced the varsity near the end of the third quarter, and after a stiff fight near Allen's goal, forced a safety by stopping an Allen runner behind the goal line.
Paine's re-adjusted line showed one-hundred per cent improvement over its showing of the past two weeks, its aggressive charges completely frustrating every attempt of the Allen backs to advance the ball. The superb serial work of the Wiggins-Cunningham combination and the dashing 60-yard run around left end for a touchdown by Bowman were features of the game that football fans who saw it will long remember.
Officials $\leftarrow$ Referee: Sheffield (Oberlin); Umpire: Irvin (Hampton); headlinesman: Kelly (Haines).
FISK GRIDDERS HAND LANE
COLLEGE 26-0 DEFEAT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An all-around Fisk team soundly defeated Lane College of Jackson, Tennessee, 26 to 0 Saturday, October 15, in the Nashville Baseball Park. In both offense and defense the Fisk Bulldogs were superior to the Lane Dragons.
In the second quarter, Gee returned Lane's punt 55 yards and Yost scored the first touchdown on a run around the left end. Fisk failed an attempted dropkick. Lane kicked off to Fisk. After a steady march down the field, Thornhill made a ten yard run off right tackle for a touchdown. Fisk again failed to make the point after goal.
In the third quarter the Fisk second team played the game on even terms with the Lane eleven. Triplet and Brent made most of the gains for Lane. The quarter was scoreless.
In the final quarter the first team returned to the game, and Fisk scored two touchdowns. The Fisk line from end to end was strong and charging.

A Boy's Life in Reconstruction
CHAPTER 13
TIMOTHY HITS IT RICH
There were some very interesting race characters in the legislature of Florida in the Reconstruction days. Many of them were very intelligent and enjoyed a fair degree of education, and most of them were orators, as the term is generally understood. They could talk at length and with some show of information on any subject proposed in the legislature. The race still has a great many talkers of the word.
There are many doers also, it is fair to grant, but they are fewer than the talkers, although they

THAT IS
HONEST
By Madam H.
To those who call on me for interviews,
I promise honestly to fulfill every word
contained in this statement. I will tell
you everything you want to know about
your enemies, rivals or friends. Whether
something is safe, safe and fair, I will also tell you how to get
love and affection of the ones you most
desire. I will tell you how to control
the actions of people even though they
are miles away. There is practically
nothing I cannot accomplish for you.
I shall use speed and hardness and
overcome enemies, rivals, adjust lovers'
quarrels, correct evil habits.
There is no heart so sad or home or so dreary that I cannot bring happiness to it; I will lift you out of sorrow and start you on the road to happiness and prosperity. I will do these things before you. After I have finished, if you are not

get the better and more appreciable results, and are regarded as the more substantial and dependable citizens. The gift of gab is a wonderful one, and it may turn out finally to be a blessing that the Negro race possesses so large a part of the gift.
Among the Senators our ministers were the most numerous. Rev. Charles H. Pierce of Leon, Rev. Robert Meacham of Jefferson, and Rev. Charles L. Bradwell of Duval counties were conspicuous. They measured up to the mental stature of the average white "cracker" senators, who were none too intelligent and none too eloquent, but were solid citizens all the same, being fruit growers and professional men for the most part, with plenty of cash money to spend without dependence upon the salary paid in depreciated State script for their services.
In the assembly, Emanuel Fortune of Jackson, Frederick Hill of Gadsden, A. B. S. Osogood of Duval, and Harry S. Harmon of Alachua counties, were outstanding characters, intelligent and shewd, with wide open eyes to the main chance, which was not always reached by the straight and narrow path, and much crooked business went on which helped to bring the Reconstruction government into disrepute and ultimate downfall.
General Butler of Walton county, was one of the extraordinary characters among the carpet baggers. He was not a brainy or cultured man but he had plenty of horse-sense and was built on swaggerlines. He was very bulky, with a Teuton face and a fierce mustache.
General Butler of Walton, was the only white Republican in his county, and held all of the lucrative offices,-sheriff, county clerk, and the like,-and had piles of cash greenbacks on him all the time.
General Butler had an intelligent Negro understudy named Valentine, who was a very amiable and shrewd person. Like his master he had always plenty of cash in hand. He boarded at the same place as Timothy and a good understanding grew up between them. There was a great deal of hard drinking among the Republican legislators and hangers-on, and Otis's saloon seldom closed until the small hours of the morning. Bedlam usually reigned in the place, but there was never anything doing which bordered on the disorderly—they just would have high old times among themselves. It is quite marvelous how low a high old time will drag those who pursue the phantom long enough
One afternoon Timothy discovered that Mr. Valentine was not only drinking heavily but that he had a big bundle of money about him. After dinner, which was usually late in the afternoon Mr. Valentine and other members resorted as usual to Odd's. Timothy began to think about the money Mr. Valentine had on him and grew fearful that he might lose it while drinking. About nine o'clock Timothy squeezed into the place and found Mr. Valentine and the others going the pace that kills.
Mr. Valentine recognized Timothy when the latter tugged at his coat sleeves and separating from the others, asked as coherently as he could what he wanted. Timothy told him he had better let him take and keep his money. The idea appealed to him and he readily gave Timothy the big roll of money. Timothy got out of the place in a jiffy and made for his boarding place.
He tried to count the money but never was able to get further than $900, although there was some more. He was so overcome with the responsibility of having the money that he was unable to sleep at all, and was wide awake at breakfast time. So was Mr. Valentine, but he had the most woo-begone expression on his face I ever saw. He was utterly cast down and got all of his friends guessing, as he was the jolliest member of the group, but he would not explain.
When the others had gone to the capitol, Mr. Valentine remained behind. Timothy then approached and asked him what the trouble was. He said he had lost all his money, some $1500, and did not know how he did it. Timothy held him in suspense for awhile and then asked him if he did not remember giving him the roll of bills at Otis's, but he shook his head and said he did not remember anything about it. Timothy then handed over the roll to him. I have never seen a happier man. He asked Timothy what he wanted most and Timothy instantly answered that he wanted a pair of boots (boots then being the thing with men and youngsters). Mr. Valentine told Timothy he should have the boots and all that goes with them.
He took him to the best store in the city and selected the finest boots for boys in it; also he selected a fine hat, and a complete new suit of fine clothes. Oh, Joy! Timothy has never felt again the satisfaction he had when he dressed in the new things and showed up in the Senate as the best dressed page boy of his time.

REJOICE IN FRIENDLY RELATIONS OF RACES
WINTON, N. C. Oct. 21 (PNS).
A number of Negro Masonic bodies have adopted a set of resolutions offered by C. M. Eppes, a prominent educator of Greenville, expressing gratification at the friendly relations between the white and colored races in North Carolina. The resolutions praise the legislature for its appropriation of $2,000 for the Efland School for Wayward Negro Girls. Especial praise is given Zeb Vance Turlington and Walter Murphy, members of the 1927 legislature, for interest shown in the welfare of the race.

System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION
Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says:
"I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison.
"One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years.
"Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation."
Thousands of others say the game.

Her beauty was spoiled by short, wirey hair. Behind her back they laughed and made unkind remarks about her inch long, tangled locks. Men avoided her—she had no admirers.
Then a friend recommended Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Her short hair started to grow as though by magic. Wirey strands became soft and wavy. And, almost overnight the neglected girl became the most sought after girl in town. Men who had passed her by without a second glance now fought for her favors.
