Secretary Hoover Asked to Remove White Flood Worker Who is Accused of Discrimination ED. B. HENDERSON IS SUSPENDED PENDING CASE INVESTIGATION FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 20 Secret ED. B. HENDE SUSPENDE CASE IN The Board of Education at its meeting at Franklin School last Wednesday suspended Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the colored high schools, pending the outcome of the charge against him of having conspired to use the mails to defraud. Mr. Henderson was indicted on December 3, with Gilbert Patton Brown and Ethel G. Wood, both white. The indictment charges a conspiracy to use the mails to defraud. In carrying out their scheme, it is alleged, the defendants posted in the mails letters, circulars and pamphlets offering to charter schools, institutions, colleges and universities to teach law, theology, commerce, business, elocution, drama, therapeutics and other subjects. They represented to persons they sought to defraud, it is charged, that sanitariums, hospitals and institutions of learning chartered by them had the power to conduct educational branch institutions anywhere in the world and could confer any and all degrees. The three persons under indictment were members of the Central Chiropractic Colleges. 1914.

WATCHMAN AT GARAGE HURT BY 2 BANDITS William McKinley, 29-year-old night watchman at Casey's Garage, 1741 Johnson street, was the victim of an unexplained attack by two unidentified white men last Sunday night. The two men, driving up to the garage shortly after midnight in an old model Cadillac car, asked for gas. When McKinley, who works as night watchman at the automobile place, turned to open the garage door the men grabbed him from behind. He was struck over the head with an instillment, and knocked down. / McKinley recovered as the two men were about to drive off and fired several shots at them. Whether any of the bullets took effect, McKinley did not know. McKinley described the smaller of the two men as about 20 years of age. He believed that it was this one of his assailants with whom he had words Wednesday. The second man, Johnson said was about 40 years old and shabbiily dressed. McKinley was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for a contusion of the head. His condition is not serious. CHARGE OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER MADE AGAINST 2 The District grand jury last Thursday returned two indictments charging first degree murder. One of the indictments charges Earl Williams with first degree murder in connection with the killing of Mrs. Catherine Martin Ward on October 31. Williams fatally shot her in the stomach. He fired five shots at her as she was fleeing from him. He told police following his arrest that he killed her because he loved her. Reuben Taylor is charged with first degree murder in connection with the killing of Eugene Jones on November 12. He shot Jones in the right side of the head following an argument over a card game. This killing occurred in Dixon's court, southwest. Both men had been drinking. Washington Tribune Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. PUBLISHED WE inary Ho Work PERSON IS ED PENDING INVESTIGATION JAMES YOUNG IS SHOT BY WOMAN IN Q STREET APT. James Young, 50, a clerk in the Adjutant General's Office, residing at 1624 Sixth street, northwest, died Wednesday at the Emergency Hospital as a result of a bullet wound in his head and three bullets in his abdomen. Young was shot in the course of an altercation at the home of Mrs. Burma Jackson, 505 Q street northwest, Sunday night. Mrs. Jackson, who did the shooting is being held for investigation. The man it is said, was arrested several weeks ago as he sought to force entrance into Mrs. Jackson's home. The woman declared that Young had come to her house Sunday night and had threatened her. Other than these threats, no motive for the shooting has been discovered. There are no witnesses to the affair because at the time of the disturbance, the two people were alone in the house. Throughout his stay at the hospital Young's condition was such as to prohibit an interview, and no information has been obtained from the woman. With four bullets in him, Young walked down a flight of stairs without assistance and climbed into the ambulance. Doctors at the hospital, Wednesday held out little hope for Young's recovery. Inquest was held this morning at 11:30 a.m. HINT OF STRIKE IN CONFERENCES OF'BROTHERHOOD' HINT OF STRIKE IN CONFERENCES OF'BROTHERHOOD' ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 16 (PNS). Successful steps to gain public support for a possible strike of pullman porters and maids have been taken by officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, according to Esthel Lowell in a recent statement. She says conferences similar to the one held in New York City recently have been planned for union strongholds in Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Des Moines and other places. "Not until now has the porter's union hinted at the possibility of a strike. For over two years A. Phillip Randolph, Roy Langster, Frank Crosswalth, the organizers have been building the union's strength. They have patiently tried out the machinery of the railroad mediation board set up by the Watson-Parker act. Now they are waiting the hearing of their appeal to the inter-state commerce commission, January 11, 1928." Strike May Follow "The only alternative I can see if the commerce commission denies the porters the living wage they ask for, is for the porter's union to call a strike," says Miss Lowell. Miss Lowell says a threat of strike would bring the emergency in which the federal rail board could act beyond its present limitations.

At the trial of Larry Newsome, aged 23, charged with the murder of a white woman in criminal court here Sunday, when a crowd of spectators yelled "get him" and "take him," Judge Henry A. Grady seized a large automatic pistol and flourished it in the direction of the mob and declared that the dignity of the law must be upheld in North Carolina. Immediately guards and court attendants surrounded the prisoner and seized relatives of the dead woman. The trouble began about five minutes after court convened when the father, Eric Teddler and William Teddler, brother of the dead woman pressed their way through the crowded and stuffy court room, each taking an arm of the prisoner. They lifted him half-way out of his chair. At this juncture the mobbists bean a frenzied cry of "lynch him." The crowd began to stampede and Judge Grady brought about order and quietness in the court room when he flourished his pistol and talked of shooting to kill anyone who made further advance toward violence. A battery of the National Guard was called with side arms and sat about Newsome during the rest of the trial. After hearing evidence for three hours, the jury retired and brought in its verdict in 15 minutes. Newsome was rushed by automobile under troop escort to Raleigh, where he will die in the electric chair January 13. BOY FALLS FROM BRIDGE, DROWNS Funeral services for William Henry Gaither, 15-year-old sophomore at Dunbar high school, were held yesterday at 1 p.m. from Mount Moriah Baptist Church.

In an attempt to retrieve his hat which the wind had blown from his head while he was standing on the Anacostia Bridge, the lad lost his balance and fell over the rail into the chilly waters of the Anacostia River, the eastern branch of the Potomac. This happened, November 26. The boy was found Sunday. The Boy's Glee Club of the Dunbar High School sang at the funeral. The pall bearers were members of Company K to which cadet company Gaither belonged. He is the son of Henry and Sarah Gaither, of 116 M street, south-west.

Lowden is Negro Leaders' Choice for Presidency The first trend in political sentiment among Negroes for candidates for the Republican presidential nomination is toward Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, it was evidenced here last week while the Republican National Committee was in session. The colored politicians fear Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover because of his close affiliations with the administration of the late President Woodrow Wilson, his general attitude in the Mississippi flood disaster, and the extremely friendly interest the South is manifesting in his candidacy. Senators Charles Curtis, of Kansas, and Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, are regarded as fair to the race, not neither of them has succeeded in lining up any of the Negro political leaders with them. In the event that Governor Lowden should withdraw from the race for the nomination at any time, it is believed that his strength will be in (Continued on page 2) AMER.

These items were asked for by the Secretary of the Interior, who in his annual report to the President called attention to the needs of the hospital for a larger force and additional facilities. "The most difficult problems that arose in the school of nursing," Secretary Work reported, "were the result of a lack of personnel." He also stated that "the most urgent needs of the hospital are a larger force of employees and additional facilities. The present number of graduate nurses, orderlies, maids, and pupil nurses is entirely inadequate to give the patients the care they require. Equally as urgent is the need for additional housing, dining, and kitchen facilities, so as to provide and care for this larger force."

The total amount estimated for buildings and grounds for the public schools of the District of Columbia is $2,478,500. This includes the sum of $250,000 toward the completion of the McKinley Technical High School. When this new building is completed, the old McKinley Manual Training School at Seventh street and Rhode Island avenue, northwest, will be turned over to the colored divisions of the District public schools.

WEALTHY WOMAN DIES IN HER KENTUCKY HOME LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 1. (PNS)—Mrs. Ellen Davies, aged 84, and said to have been probably the wealthiest race woman in Kentucky, died at her home here Sunday. It will be recalled that she gained nation-wide publicity a few years ago when she won a court battle with whites over the $250,000 property bequeathed her by John T. Hughes, wealthy turfman and planter. Mrs. Davies was a slave in the Hughes' family, and when Hughes died, his will created a stir among aristocratic connections. He left her practically everything in his will.

BIRTHDAY PARTY Little Warren Hester celebrated his fifth birthday on Monday, December 12, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes Hester, 419 M street, northeast. Many beautiful presents were received. A BIRTHDAY PARTY Little Augustus Stewart was given a party on his fifth birthday, at the residence of his Godmother, Mrs. George Bowser, 1636 Fifteenth street, northwest, Monday, December 5. The tots played games and danced. Little Gwendolyn Biddle recited a birthday poem. Refreshments were served. Do your Christmas shopping early—before your money runs out. "Now that I've given you a big dinner, are you equal to the job of washing the dishes?" asked a housewife. "Madame," replied the educated tramp, "I am superior to it. Good day." The Pathfinder Several dresses and an outer coat, property of Misses Helen Crawford and Marian Farrar were stolen from the young ladies' room on the first floor of Miner Hall, Howard University, by a sneak thief about 6:30 Saturday evening. The robbery occurred during the twilight hours when most of the pretty co-eds were bustling about preparing for the various Saturday night "dates." Having just returned from their supper, Misses Crawford and Farrar stopped on the porch, to lounge. While thus engaged the man, in all appearances, entered the dormitory by lifting a back window. Henry Scott, one of the janitors at Howard, attempted to stop the man when he saw him leaving Miner Hall with several bundles, but the intruder thrust a gun into Scott's stomach and escaped with an accomplice in the direction of the reservoir. Police were furnished with a description of the fugitive, but until Wednesday no arrests had been made. It is believed these men are responsible for the theft of clothing and other valuables from Miner Hall several weeks ago.

Why did Garvey find so much favor among the masses of colored people in America? And what is to be the consequence of Garvey's having lived and acted upon our group? These are questions worthy of thought. According to eminent students of social movements, people who are denied the full expression of political freedom, develop what is known as "oppression psychosis," or a state of mind in which their wrongs are intensified by constantly dwelling upon them. Certainly the Negro in America has had more than three centuries in which to develop such a state of mind. Not being militaristic, or lacking the means to combat, and having been bred through chattel slavery into an attitude of apparent submission, or a tendency to get immediate ends by indirection, his "oppression psychosis" has taken strange forms. Our religious fervor, our abandon in the dance, our laughter, our constant criticism of each other and of every movement, our tendency toward membership in all kinds of organizations, our following first one leader and then another, and our rapid change from enthusiastic support of a proposition to cool neglect, are all phases of the soul which is not satisfied with its expression. Marcus Garvey summed up for the masses of the colored people their several grievances and traced them directly and pointedly to the rapacity and greed of the whites. He offered the group an outlet through economic co-operation. By his proposed development of Africa, and by his regalia and titles—as well as by his employment of many intellectuals who could not make a decent living in an industrial age with a prejudice which disbarred colored men and women from the higher wage groups—he combined more influences in producing a following than had any former leader. In fact Garvey followed most closely the steps necessary to the progress of a movement among people with a grievance: he stated their grievances, financial and social; he made slogans and phrases easily caught and repeated; he called dissatisfied men and women to his assistance as aides, giving them titles and income; he held conventions locally and nationally for very definite purposes and, he constantly added new dreams and visions of hope, all of which he broadcast by means of his newspaper whose name, "The Negro World," spoke volumes. Garvey was laughed at and cartooned for his numerous titles, yet the historian tells us that Christopher Columbus, whom Garvey resembled in more ways than one, demanded that he be made, by Spain, "Admiral of the Atlantic, Viceroy with the power of life and death, and part owner of a vast slice of the spoils of the Indies." It must be conceded that Garvey knew and practiced mass psychology. He was histrionic, as are most of his brothers and sisters when called to high place without training—and, in passing, as are many new Congressmen on coming to Washington. His posture regalia and travels caught the eye and impressed the masses. Above and unlike every other leader of colored people in America, Garvey had and kept the international mind. He thought not in terms of the provincial and nationalized Negro, but his plans and his procedure included non-white people over the whole world. The acclaim with which he has been received in Jamaica, following his release from the Federal penitentiary here in America (where he was sent for technical violation of a section of the Revised Statutes of the United, after a spectacular trial due to information and protests supplied by certain nationalized, middle class American colored people) bespeaks Garvey's wisdom in knowing how his "martyrdom" would preserve if PUBLISHED Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON PUBLINE PUBLISHING COMPANY $20 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomus 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Date: One Year, $2.59 Six Months, $1.28.

We venture the prediction that we have not heard the last of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, nor of its founder. We also hope not. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE There is a childish tendency among us to do nothing if we cannot do as we would; being denied the vote, we neglect to use the voice in securing a redress of wrongs, a lightening of oppression and a fairer distribution of goods. An intelligent plea backed by facts and honestly presented is bound to be heard. "Knock and it shall be opened; ask and ye shall receive," is true in human relations as in spiritual. Here at the Nation's Capital and everywhere in the United States, the race is urged to use its voice in calling attention to the denial of full, free opportunity to enjoy the blessings of liberty. Let us follow the advice of Senator Capper and so state our wants, desires, aspirations, and the denial of them by those entrusted with the administration of public affairs, that we shall be heard. Beginning with our neighborhoods and their neglect, our wages and their inadequacy to living according to the American standard, our occupations and their restrictions due to prejudice rather than lack of merit, our segregation upon the arbitrary and accidental basis of color, and our exploitation in every possible relation in life, let us continue to frame our appeals for the good things which American citizenship holds, promises, and gives to some of the more favored groups. It is well to remember that all the charters of our liberty were originally a voice. PROSCRIPTIVE LEGISLATION Negro baiting is fast becoming a national sport. A particularly atrocious and mysterious crime is committed. Those charged with ferretting out the guilty parties, proceed on the theory that the culprit or culprits were Negroes. A man and his wife are motoring late at night in a lonely and secluded stretch of country. The man is killed. The wife tells a story of attacks by Negroes. The country is in a frame of mind to accept the story at its face value, and although it is subsequently established in judicial proceedings that the husband came to his death at the hands of a faithless wife and her paramour, the first impression created by the false statement is not entirely erased from the public mind. And then there is the lynching practice. The life of a Negro, whether man, woman or child is not held in the same regard as the life of a white person. The killing of a Negro, without any reference to the fact of provocation, or the want of provocation, is an occurrence that arouses no feeling of resentment or protest in the minds of the great majority of the white people. Furthermore, the daily newspapers report the most commonplace occurrences with distinctions of race, where human individuals are involved. Our statute books, State and National, are loaded with acts making distinction of race. As though there was not already enough of this sort of thing, Senator Blease of South Carolina, has introduced a bill in the present session of Congress calling for separate cars for white people and for colored people, and forbidding intermarriage of white people and colored people in the District of Columbia. It will be recalled that this same senator offered his services as a lawyer to defend Aiken County, South Carolina, against a proposed action for damages for the lynching of the Lomans, a most atrocious case of human slaughter. Many will say, "Oh, well, what's the use of bothering about Blease? What else could you expect of him?" If only Blease and the public opinion of the white people of South Carolina were involved, the thing might be passed over. But unfortunately, there is a large sec- The Nyal Store Grand Opening Souvenirs Visit our New Store at 7th & S Sts.N.W.

THE RIP SAW THE RIP SAW Policemen and Trial Boards The white press of the city made much ado over the wilful slugging of Edward Tyson Stephens (white) by Policeman Roland M. Kirby of the Fourteenth precinct last Sunday. While hundreds of Negroes have been unmercifully beaten by policemen, little relief has resulted from protests to the higher authorities. Not only have Negro men been victims of the officers' blackjacks, but Negro women also have felt the sting of their fists and the weight of their pistol butts. If the slugging of Stephens will force the District Commissioners and police authorities to put a stop to this vicious and inhuman practice, surely he will not have been slugged in vain. The Congress Heights Citizens Association (white) passed a resolution at their recent meeting which, if accepted by the Commissioners, would go a long way toward correcting this abuse of power. This resolution points out that under the present system a civilian has not a fair chance of proving his case when charging a police officer with an offense before the police trial board, and that while the officer is permitted the right of legal defense, this right is denied the civilian. The resolution asks that civilians be entitled to the assistance of a lawyer before the trial board. If this right, for right it is, should be given to the citizens of the District, the chances are that not so many policemen would be freed with a reprimand or a light fine in these cases of brutal assault. The Commissioners alone are to blame for the brutality in the police department. tion of white public opinion throughout the United States that is in accord with this kind of proposed legislation. Fourteen states have separate car laws, and twenty-nine states have laws forbidding intermarriage between white people and colored people. Laws of this sort are particularly objectionable to any self-respecting person, for the reason that they constitute a denial of his complete humanity, and subject him to degradation and insult in all relations of life. Even from Senator Blease's point of view, whatever that may be, the intermarriage of white people and colored is by no means a practical question. The number of such marriages that have taken place here in the District of Columbia during the past twenty-nine years is almost nil. The same is true in the nineteen States in which there are no laws against such marriages. The colored people themselves never discuss the question, except when it is thrust upon them by such occurrences as the introduction of proposed legislation of the sort mentioned above, or when discussing mere matters of sociology. In a civilized country, where all elements of the population are in pursuit of culture, both moral and intellectual, the subject of marriage as affected by mere race should never be a matter of legislation. As for separate cars in the District of Columbia, there are incidental objections to that in addition to the fundamental objections which every decent person knows. One Way to Increase the Nation's Voters, Mr. Butler William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee, in his opening address before the National Committee here Tuesday, December 6, made the following statement with reference to voting: "We have before us a problem of public indifference to the affairs of government, with a civic lethargy that is steadily increasing the percentage of the stay-at-home vote." KIDDIES' C C. LESLIE FRAZI AN EASY ONE That goes around Mr. Butler then goes on to state that in 1880, 70.7 per cent of the total eligible vote was polled; in 1888, 67.2 per cent; in 1900, 65.7 per cent; in 1912, 66 per cent; in 1920, 49.1 per cent; in 1924, 50.7 per cent. "This creeping paralysis of the body politic must be checked and counteracted if representative government is to continue," says Mr. Butler. He continues: "Such a condition is a travesty on universal suffrage. It is a flat denial in practice of the theory of a government either of the people or by the people." It seems rather strange that during the period that the Negro in the South was permitted to use the ballot, the largest percentage of the national vote was cast. It is also noticeable that as the Negro has been disfranchised, so has the percentage of voters decreased. In discussing remedies for this situation, Mr. Butler fails to suggest that the ballot be restored to the Negro in the South. This would immediately add over five million votes to the nation's total. The disfranchisement of the Negro in the South and the absolute domination of the Democratic party in that section has also kept millions of white voters from the poll. Instead of choosing between two bad Democrats, these white voters remain at home. Hence southern Congressmen and Senators are "elected" where the total vote for all candidates is less than the fourth aspirant receives in a corresponding district in the North. This is a condition Mr. Butler and his party can do much to remedy. Mr. Butler and his committee have ignored it; President Coolidge, a Republican president has ignored it, and five Republican Congresses have ignored it. And yet they wonder why the people in America don't vote. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IAMENTS FATHER'S PASSING To the Editor of The Tribune: J. C. Cunningham, our dear father of twelve children, six living and six dead, has passed on. We are sure many of your readers have read the articles written by him appearing in this paper for years, trying to portray to the public what the colored man was doing and his views of what he should do for the betterment of the race. Naturally we grieve at the loss of this most worthy promoter. Our purpose for writing this letter to the Tribune is to let the public know through such a widely circulated paper like this, that although he has gone, he has done his bit here on earth and we still hold him sacred in our hearts and minds. Now that he has departed from this earth, we must not let his work die also, but must carry it on. His son, R. L. CUNNINGHAM MINISTER SENTENCED FOR MUDER IN ARKANSAS WALNUT RIDGE, Ark., Dec. 16.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor No prizes are awarded for this puzzle. Work it for the fun of it. The answer is at the bottom of the last column of the Kiddies' Corner. ONE CHRISTMAS EVE (Continued from last week) By Jean Muray (15) "No, my worthy friend, thanks to your timely interference. The rascal nearly succeeded though." "I hope you have lost nothing, sir." "Nothing, fortunately. You can form an idea of the value of your interference, young man, when I say that I had ten thousand dollars on me, all of which would doubtlessly have been taken." "What? I am glad, sir," said John, "that I was able to do you such service." "Will you add to my indebtness by accompanying me? I have some distance to go yet, and I don't want to lose the money." "Most certainly, sir," said John. "But I am forgetting that you will be obliged to return back alone." "I do not carry enough money to make me fear an attack," laughed John Corlis. The rescued man said, "Money brings care, I have always heard, and the want of it sometimes freedom from anxiety." "Yet most people are willing to take their share of that," rejoined John. "You at least have a good job with good pay, I hope." "No, sir, only $25 a week, and a man with a wife and child can hardly live off of that," replied John. "My name is Herbert T. Smith. What is your business?" "I am a street car conductor." "I will see what I can do for you." Mr. Smith graciously said. When they reached Mr. Smith's home, through the French glass doors children were seen crowded around their mother listening to a night before Christmas story. John was shown into Mr. Smith's study, when his host said to him: "You rendered me a very great service, young man, and I have thought of a job which will pay you $60 a week." "What!!" and John sat up in amazement. "My wife needs a chauffeur. Can you drive an automobile, young man?" "Yes, and I would love to have the job, sir. I can't express my appreciation, sir." "Tut, tut, that's perfectly all right. Since tomorrow is Christmas you may report the day after at eight o'clock." "Thank you again, sir." Thank you again, sir. Mr. Smith went to his desk, and presently returned with a sealed envelope. Handing it to John he said, "Give this to your wife." "Thank you, sir, I will." "Young man, as I said before, you rendered me an invaluable service and I give this to you not as a reward—you are above that, but as a Christmas gift to use as you choose," and he handed John $500. "Five hundred dollars!" the thought went to John's head like sweet music. "Thank you sir, merry Christmas, sir," was all he could say. He was so overcome by his emotions. Here the interview terminated and John Corlis went out a happy man, to buy some Christmas presents. He would spend one hundred dollars, the rest would pay the first payment down on the little home they had been planning to buy. At the store he got Joan a jade breast pin and some new clothes for her, with the help of a kind saleslady—hats, dresses, shoes, stockings, etc. Then Junior's toys, a Santa Claus suit and some clothes were bought. Laden with packages, he knocked at his home door "Sh, Sh!" said a sweet feminine voice. It was Joan. "But, but—where did all this come from, Jack, dear?" "Joan dear," he began, and told her the story from beginning to end telling all of the details and adding, "But you can't see your presents until tomorrow, dear." She puckered her lips and pouted prettily. "But see here, you dropped this letter, Jack." "It's for you, dear, Mr. Smith TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I \'il be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. "For me, Jack?" "Yes, dear." She opened the letter. It was a check for $100 attached to a Christmas card. "Oh!" she breathed softly, "he is so kind, and I am so happy, John dear." "And I am, too, honey." I believe it was God that sent me this merry Christmas that I read in that old colored lady's eyes. Later that night as they sat around the table they heard the chimes at midnight—Ding! dong! dong! Ding! dong! twelve times. God had blessed them, man had helped them, and happy in the love of their little home, sweet dreams arose in their visions. It is silent night, holy night—leave them to their peace. LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS Send your letter to Santa Claus early.

Frazier Why do some small boys feel compelled to act disorderly on the street? Perhaps they want to appear larger than they are, or either they are following the leader. "Leader" is a very appropriate word here because boys usually group themselves off, acknowledging one boy as their leader regardless of whether he is good or bad. The favorite occasion for some boys to be disorderly is on going CHRISTMAS Photographs Specials Specials 3 large cabinet ovals, $5.50 1 large portrait 8 x 11 in., stand frame, $6.50. Other styles $3.00 and up for half dozen. The SCURLOCK Studio U Street at Ninth to and from school, and on going to, and returning from special classes at school. Maybe it is the influence of the leader that makes these boys act noisy because usually after school, when the group breaks up, order rules once more. As soon as the leader goes his way home, the boys resume their natural gentlemanly attitudes. They conduct themselves as gentlemen should instead of as rowdies. Some people can be easily led by their comrades. If you are one of those unfortunate people, it is best that you select a good boy for your leader, or else there are liable to be such things as afternoon sessions with the principal, or very short recesses, because in some strange manner bad news will reach the teacher. It is not difficult for an observer to distinguish the leader and the followers. The leader is the one who suggests everything. He may say, "Come on, fellers, let's catch a hop." If the followers think more of their leader than they do of appearances and order, they will hasten to follow him. On the other hand, if they have some regard for order, they will reply, "Not today." or "We HEADQUARTER Christmas Purest and Best ... at Money Lipp's HEADQUARTERS FOR Christmas Candies Purest and Best Obtainable ... at Money Saving Prices Lipp's issorted chocolates o.

DIES SUDDENLY (Continued from page 1) About a year after the death of his first wife, Mrs. Estelle Lewis Douglas, of Detroit, who died October 14, 1920, Mr. Douglas married Miss Edith Ross of Philadelphia. During the 23 years Mr. Douglas lived in Detroit he was in the service of the Dime Savings Bank, one of Michigan's largest banks. He was the only Negro employed there and at the time of his resignation was in charge of the transit department to which position he had advanced from messenger boy, In January 1925, Mr. Douglas went to Philadelphia where he became affiliated with the Keystone Co-operative Banking Association where he worked as cashier. Feeling that he should give his knowledge of banking to the progress of a race enterprise, Mr. Douglas became assistant cashier of the Prudential Bank. He began work there May 1, 1927. Mr. Douglas leaves six children, three girls and a boy as a result of his first marriage and two sons by his second wife. Surviving him is his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Olga Moczo, Santuro, Porto Rico; Mrs. Dorothy Williams, Detroit; and Miss Isabel Douglas, also of Detroit; and three sons, Byron, of Philadelphia and Robert (6) and Roscoe, Jr. (4).

In her bill of complaint filed through Attorneys Castelle and King, Mrs. Rusher alleges that her husband deserted her on September 1, 1925. Since that date, she declares, he has only contributed $20 toward the support of her and their minor child. The couple were married in Hamlet, N. C., on September 7, 1915. They have one child, Elizabeth Rusher, 12 years old, who is in the custody of her mother. Mrs. Rusher says that her husband earns more than $150 a month. She asks the court to award her temporary and permanent alimony. LOWDEN IS NEGRO LEADERS' CHOICE FOR PRESIDENCY LOWDEN IS NEGRO LEADERS' CHOICE FOR PRESIDENCY herited by Vice President Charles G. Dawes. Coolidge May Accept Three of the four colored members of the Republican National Committee cling to the belief that President Coolidge will be drafted. They think that under that circumstance he will accept the nomination and be a candidate for re-election. These members of the committee are Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, and Benjamin Jefferson Davis and Mrs. George S. Williams, of Georgia. The fourth colored member of the Republican National Committee will support the candidate, whose cause Vice Chairman Chas. D. Hilles, of New York, expouses. Since Charles Evans Hughes has declared that he is not a candidate and will not accept the nomination if it should be offered him, Mr. Hilles has been silent. It is believed, however, that he will go into the Lowden camp. While Mr. Davis is declaring that the statement of President Coolidge to the members of the National Committee on December 6 adds nothing to his announcement of August 2 that he does not choose to run for President in 1928, political wisecases see the Georgian committeeman playing a shrewd game of politics. Roscoe Pickett, the Georgia state chairman, is supporting Governor Lowden. Albert S. Anderson, the Georgia vice chairman and an officeholder under the Coolidge administration, favors Secretary Hoover. Mr. Davis himself is for President Coolidge. The first choice of National Committeeman Howard for the Republican nomination is President Coolidge. Likewise, his second choice is President Coolidge. He will very likely follow the lead of Chairman William M. Butler of the National Committee. Meanwhile, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work is reported as inspiring a contesting delegation from Mississippi to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., on June 12, pledged to Secretary Hoover. The report is that J. T. Spence, a white man, called on Secretary Work for aid in getting a political appointment under Mr. Howard in Mississippi. Secretary Work is said to have advised him to bring a contesting delegation to the national convention for Secretary Hoover and overthrow the rule of Mr. Howard in Mississippi Republican politics. ELKS HOLD ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICES ELKS HOLD ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICES Annual memorial services for the dead of Columbia and Morning Forest Temples of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, were held last Sunday night in the auditoriums of the Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools. The welcome address for the Morning Star ceremonies at Dunbar was made by Professor Neval H. Thomas, while Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham delivered the similar speech at the Columbia exercises. A recitation of "Thanatopsis" by James Ross was assisted by the Columbia Lodge quartet. This number and the history of the lodge and temple given by John Ross and Mrs. Luella Johnson, marked the proceedings. Major West A. Hamilton was master of ceremonies. At Dunbar where, Mrs. Mabel Thompson was mistress of cereonies "Thanatopala" was recited by H. S. Washington. Musical numbers by the Elks' choir, Mrs. Mary Plummer Locke, the Progressive Male Chorus, Miss Anna Boyd were also presented. Eulogies for absent members were by Lafayette M. Hershaw and Mrs. Laura Tyler at Armstrong, while Miss Elizabeth Gordon and Thomas P. Green eulogized at the Dunbar exercises. Memorial exercises are held by all Elk lodges the second Sunday in December each year. $25,000 GIVEN BY ROCKEFELLER TO AFRICAN Y.M.C.A NEW YORK, Dec. 13—The work being done for native Africans in South Africa by Max Yergan, Negro Y.M.C.A. secretary with the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. of the United Staats, has just received a strong stimulus through the gift, by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., of $25,000 toward the erection of a building at Alice, Cape Province, South Africa. The announcement of the gift comes at a time when Mr. Yergan is preparing to return to South Africa after a year spent in the United States acquainting both Negroes and whites with his work. The gift will mean a great help toward meeting the total cost of the building, all of which must come through contributions. The plan for this new building is a symbol of the new day that is dawning for the native population of South Africa. It is a symbol of change, of the passing of many of the old tribal customs and superstitions and the beginning of a new era in the history of these folks, an era that will bring them increasingly into contact with modern civilization. The forces of European commerce, education and politics are sweeping in, leaving the natives bewildered. So it is that they lend a willing ear to Max Yergan and his message of adaptation to the best of the new and retention of the best of the old. In his work, Yergan has two objectives: to demonstrate to the natives the possibility of practical service to their fellows in the realms of education, recreation, sanitation and agriculture and to help build up a new leadership for Africa. And in his first five years of work he has met with marked success. Dog Catcher—Do your dogs have licenses?

Diamonds—Silverware Watches—Clocks and Jewelry ALLEGES MISCONDUCT WITH WHITE MAN, SUES FISK STUDENTS WILL ATTEND CONFERENCES NASHVILLE, Tenn. — During the month of December the students at Fisk University will attend two very important student conferences. Alleging that his wife misconducted herself with an unknown white man, Rayshaw Schools, 1325 First street, northwest, filed suit Tuesday in the District Supreme Court for an absolute divorce from Mrs. Lula Cook Schools, 160 Reeves court, northwest. Earl Russell was also named as a correspondent. Two student representatives accompanied by Rev. J. B. Matthews, Fisk University preacher, and the head of the department of religious education, Rev. Paul E. Baker, will attend the tenth quadrennial student volunteer conference to be held in Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Schools charges that his wife deserted him after they had lived together for several years after their marriage. He alleges that she misconducted herself with a white man, whose name and address is unknown to him, at the Reeves court address. Students from all over the world, who are interested in student volunteer work will attend the conference and discuss religious problems under the guidance of such religious leaders as Sherwood Eddy, Stanley High and others. Fisk will also be represented at the National Association of Federated Student Councils' Conference to be held at the University of Nebraska. Representatives of nearly every institution of higher learning in America will be present to discuss problems facing Student Councils and Student Government. Fisk's representative will be I. B. Bryant, '27, of Houston, Texas. He is president of the Fisk University Student Council. He also charges that she mis-conducted herself with Earl Russell at No. 184 Baltimore street, northwest. She and Russell were later arrested on a statutory charge, he declares. They were married by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin on July 19, 1917. Mr. Schools is represented by Attorney Thomas Beckett. REPRESENTATIVE HAMILTON FISH WILL SPEAK EMANCIPATION DAY The sixty-fifth annual Emancipation celebration will be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, January 2, 1928, under the auspices of the National Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance of America. Hamilton Fish, United States Representative of New York will be the speaker, and not Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, as was circulated a few weeks ago. WOULD GIVE PICKETT'S W DOW SIX MONTHS'-PAY Senator Charles B. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, introduced in the Senate on Monday a resolution to authorize the Secretary of the Senate to pay to Mrs. Louise K Pickett, widow of Charles J. Pickett, a sum equal to six months' compensation at the rate he was receiving by law at the time of his death. Rev. C. L. Russell has returned from a trip South, which included Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, where he addressed many large audiences in the interest of the National Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of America. This resolution was referred to the Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent expenses of the Senate. At the time of his death Mr. Pickett was an assistant in the office of Senator Deneen. Rev.

RANDALL At its monthly educational meeting the faculty of the Randall Junior High School was addressed by Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, of the College of Education, Howard University. Dean Holmes' talk centered around the marking system as used by teachers in rating their students. He described the teachers' marks in unstandardized tests as being variable, unreliable, and inconsistent. The points emphasized in Dean Holmes' talk could be readily followed by the teachers because he had placed in the hands of each teacher mimeographed material illustrating all phases of the subject covered. The teachers and pupils have been busily engaged through the various activities of the school in developing the project "How to Live." The culmination of this project will take place in the form of an exhibition Tuesday evening, December 20. Sections 9-5 and 9-6 were in charge of the last assembly. Their purpose was to create an incentive for the correction of speech defects. To this end they rendered a playlet showing how a young boy was handicapped by the use of poor English.

TAITE, Traveling Salesman 616 So. washington St., Alexa., Va. ACHING JOINTS Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N.C.— "I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would feel sore. I would feel sleepy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work. "I heard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape." Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much relief has been found, in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Theford's Black-Draught should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents. Get a package today. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable CHARLOTTE, N. C.—Deaver P. Young, public accountant of Athens, Georgia, set up at Johnson C. Smith University last night, the Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the National Greek letter fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi. Effort has been made for some years to have a chapter of this organization established here. William A. Perry, Joseph A. Jones, James H. Justice, Alphonso S. Poe, Lemuel L. Blakeney, and John A. Blount were the first initiates, and together with Dean Alston and Professor Jackson, form the charter members of Alpha Epsilon Chapter. The fraternity has over sixty chapters only four of which are at Negro institutions in the South. LILLIENDAHLATTYS. WANT NEGROES TO CONFESS LILLIENDAHLATTYS. WANT NEGROES TO CONFESS MAYS LANDING, N. J., Dec. 15 (PNS)—The defense attorneys for Mrs. Lilliendahl and her alleged lover, Willis Beach, who were found guilty of manslaughter Thursday of last week, declare that two Negroes will be brought to the point of confessing the murder of Dr. Lilliendahl, the aged husband of the convicted woman. The widow claimed that two Negroes had attacked her and robbed and killed her husband. Later, however, she practically denied this story, only to have it dragged in once more by her lawyers as a basis for her defense. The Ku Klux Klan and other lynching mobs were set to combing the countryside, and draw into their net any Negro who would satisfy Mrs. Lillendahl's superficial description. Seven Negroes were brought to the Mays Landing police station, but they were released due to a lack of any evidence. Who the present victims are is still unknown. ALPHA CONVENTIONITES MUST REGISTER EARLY ALPHA CONVENTIONITES MUST REGISTER EARLY CLEVELAND, Ohio.—A nationwide appeal was made this week by Harvey B. Atkins, chairman of the sub-committee on housing and registration for the 20th Annual Session of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., which convenes in this city December 27-31, that all persons planning to attend the convention make their reservations for lodging early by communicating with him at 4807 Central avenue at once. According to the secretary of this committee, Welcome T. Blue, Jr., efforts will be made to meet all trains provided the committee is notified when the different delegations expect to arrive. Those using the Pennsylvania Railroad are urged to get off at the Euclid-55th Street Station which is within three blocks of the convention headquarters. Robert Brooks, vice-president of the local chapter and chairman of the "All-Ohio" committee, announces that nearly one hundred per cent attendance may be expected from the seven chapters in Ohio. Reports from officers and chapters located all over the United States indicate that this convention will be the most largely attended of any in the history of the fraternity. An incentive for attendance is seen in the offer by the railroads for reduced rates, providing the attendance reaches 250. Cleveland's central location and well-known hospitality will make her the mecca for college students, graduates and their friends during the Christmas holiday season. ROBT. JOHNSON, VETERAN GOVT. EMPLOYEE, DIES Robert Johnson, 58, an employee at the U. S. War Department for 20 years and well known in the city, died suddenly at Emergency Hospital last Thursday. Mr. Johnson was a member of the Warren Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He lived at 2521 Georgia avenue. Funeral services were held from Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday. Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Johnson; two daughters, Mrs. Daisy Gibbs, of New Jersey, and Miss Catherine Johnson of this city, a brother, Dr. W. Johnson, Orange, N.J., and seven sisters, and one grandchild, Avis Gibbs. CUSTOMS Certain things seem to be tahooed in official circles. One is to smoke at a formal meeting. But Vice-President Dawes's "upside-down" pipe and Secretary of Commerce Hoover's big black cigar frequently ignore this custom. Senator Smoot of Utah, once astonished the French debt commission by putting his feet on the conference table. At the opening of a local theater President Coolidge, testimony says, had his feet on the rail of the presidential box. "Jim" Reed chaws and makes the women folk shudder with his unerring aim. —The Pathfinder Prof. Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C.

A steam roller is a leveling machine used to crush obstacles, such as stones in a road. In politics the term "steam roller" is applied to high-handed methods of overcoming opposition especially opposition to a ticket prepared by political bosses and party leaders. In this sense the term was first used by Oswald F. Schuette in an article in the Chicago Inter-Ocean describing the session of the Republican National Committee which preceded the Republican National Convention in Chicago in 1908. Under the direction of President Roosevelt the committee threw out all of the contested Hughs-Cannon-Knox-Fairbanks delegates and seated Taft delegates, making possible the Taft nomination. The term "steam roller" applied to this method struck that popular fancy and was immediately popularized by the press. The Pathfinder Christmas Greetings Good Health the parents of tomorrow. Health.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Laing be (Pagiea aes en © ISRAEL Golden Text: “God, who in sundry times and in. divers manners spake in times -past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath these times spoken unto us by His Son.” Heb. 1:1,2. A review of the past lessons of the present quarter is but a re- view of the early prophets and prophecies of Isracl. These con- stitute a most important part, of the Old Testament. Take the prophets and their prophecies out of this portion’ of the. Bible and the whole Book would be much emasculated, for these men ‘and their words sustain a vital relation to the whole scheme of redemp- tion, as well as to the social prob- lems of human life. He who would understand the Bible must master the law was rep- resenting man’s duty to God and to one another, and also the proph- ecies: in which redemption through Jesus is promised: Jesus was a satisfaction of law and the fulfill- ment of prophecy. The materials for the lessons of. the quarter have embraced por- tions of I and If Kings, Amos, Hosea, Micah and Isaiah, each passage studied representing the heart of the respective prophet’s message —especially his social USHERS MEET ‘The Interdenominational Ushers Union and Ladies Auxiliary of the District of Columbia held one of the finest meetings since its or. ganization. last Monday night at the Second Baptist Church, Third street between H and I streets, northwest.

INSTALLS NEW PLANT- ‘The Mt! Zion Baptist Church of Fredericksburg, Va., completed the installation of its’ new heating plant last week. The church is pastored by Rev. W. H. Cary of this city, under whose pastorate it recently completed and moved into its new $30,000 home. message—and his contribution to religious thought. The general teaching unit of these lessons has been sociological in nature. While the prophets were primarily Messianic in their prophecies, presenting a perfect prophetic ‘picture of Christ, yet their messages are also laden with social significance. It has been this be erent Al which has been stressed in the lessons of the quarter. In the lessons taken from the books of Kings, Elijah and Elisha are presented largely as social leaders and preachers of civ- ‘ic righteousness. While Tsaiah’s - prophecies are mainly Messianic in their outlook, yet in the lessons taken from his writings the stress is placed upon his_ contribution to contemporary society and political rulers. In the Jessons taken from Amos empha- sis is laid upon Amos, the sociolo- gist rather than Amos, the reli- gionist. While both Hosea and Micah were very spiritual men, yet it is mainly material from their social work which has been se- lected for study in the lessons of the quarter. Thus the lessons ‘of the quarter hiave tended to emphasize the so- cial significance of religion, or the vital relation between religion and life. Religion as a vital part of life rather than. as a thing apart from life has been ,the general lesson taught. A fastering of such a lesson js truely a definate yebd of the -prescitane. ST.

In this wonderful sermon on the Mount, Jesus is in our text teach ing His followers that if they would be followers of the heavenly Fath- cer, as dear children; it is their duty to’ desire and aim’ at perfection; and to conform themselves to their love their enemies, forgive those who have hurt their feelings, to deal kindly with strangers, to’ re- frain from unfair judgment, ete, God's purpose in “sending His son into the world to establish His kingdom, ‘was to. produce for Him._| self a holy society. made up of holy men and women; and in this society, to bring about a new rela- | tionship between God and man. Al- so to set forth a corresponding | new character between man and. hi: fellow man: that is, Jesus came into the world to save and sanctify the lives of men. Since sanctifica- tion carries the idea of setting a- part or the state of being set apart to God's service, it also carries the meaning of an’ inner transforma- tion of the one thus set apart. ‘There must be formed a rightecus: character within. During the days of the prophets, especially ‘the later period, the term, sanctification, began to take | on a deeper moral meaning. There were such heroes as Micah, who stood out and contended for the ethical teaching of this word, sane- tification. Let us hear an example of this teaching, as is recorded in Micah, 6:6-8; “Wherewith shall T come before Him with burnt of- erings, with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands ‘of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? . Shall I give my firstborn for my trans- gression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed | thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” : ‘ ‘Here we can seo that Micah is striving to have th» people see a deeper meaning in. sanctification, than more ceremonialism. I fancy I hear God speaking through the prophets, to the people, saying: “It| ‘is mot enough for you fo offer holy | ‘offerings in the holy temple, unto | ‘Me: but a holy character do I re- quire of you.” Tn the téichings of cur blessed Saviour, we learn that He empha- Sizes a righteous character, within aoa rte teaching is eaut set forth latt. i 2520; Mark. 7:4-0; Luke 11:87-41, where Jesus peers woe to the scribes and Pharisees, for making clean the outside of the cup an platter, while inside they are full ‘of extortion and excess. He says “thou blind Pharisees, cleanse first that which is within’ the eup and platter, thatthe outside of them may be clean also.” O my friends, Jesus condemns external right eousness! He wants us to be sanc- tified. within and without; and ‘wielding that influence among men. When I say you must be sanc- tified, I do not mean you ean be perfectly holy eve in this worlds t this word carries with it a pro- gressive idea, When we boil the word sanctification, down to its Latin derivative, we have the in- finitive expression; to be or to he- come. When Jesus says in the text; “Be ye therefore perfect, or Ye therefore shall be perfect,” we mow that there is expressed a pro- gressive element cr an incentive: a striving to become. We might paraphrase this expression, to make it read, “‘Aim to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is per- fect.” Tn Galatians, 5:16-25, Paul sub- stanthites my belief in progressive : eg Bae eee SS oe oe Reet ek - 4 +. b; Rev.

But to waik end live in the Spirit, we must be hid in God through cesus Christ and led by the Holy: Spirit, Dr. E. ¥.. Mullins, ‘the modern thedlogian says, three things con- tantly appeat in Panl's writings: (a) “Believers “are ~ ‘sanctified through their union. with Christ; every holy impulse arises out of the fact, that they are-in ‘Christ: (b) at every stage and in every de- tail, the Holy Spirit's work paral- Jels'that of Christ in us: (c) the re- sult of Christin us and the’ Spirit in sy is meen in, ethical aid Spict- ual transformation.” Thus, we be- come. spiritually transformed and ultimately sanctified. Sanetifica- tion is a gradual progess; it is a life process," We never attain unto it, in this life, but wei keep striving after it. * 7 We continue to strive to be like out Saviour. It hag’ been said, that “Christ is as a'flying goal.” ‘The standard is so high that is set by Jesus, that it takeqius cur life: time.to ‘attain unto it.

"7s, realise tat are too many ordinary people in God's kingdom or church, today. God cannot use ordinary people to foster His kingdom, or to do His work. “There needs to be more sanctification in some of our pul- pits today as well as in the pews. An unsanctified preacher’ is a dangerous guide. By all means should the minister be a sanctified individual. It is likewise impera- tive, that the official part of the churches be sanctified, and instra- ments for good in the hands of God, to lift up the Christ, that the world may be drawn te Him. Brethren, when we can have more sanctification into some of our pulpits,-on cur official beards, in our choirs, more sanetification among the leaders of our, Sunday schools and young people's socie- ties; more sanctification in every department of our churches, the world will soon be won to Christ. When the leaders and laymen in our churches, become more sancti- fied, we will’not have to fear the worth uf gospel preaching nor the influence of the: church to win from the devil and the world, May we so live that we can say to the ungodly; “Forsake you ways, come to'the Saviour, learn of Him and be jettles: THE SPORT REVIEW Lincoln Official New President of C.I.A.A.--Football Xmas 'A.A.U.

TEDDY BEARS AND EBENEZER PLAY CHRISTMAS DAY Coach Johnnie Mac Tatum and his erstwhile Teddy Bear Machine will meet the Ebenezer A. C. in a local "Tournament of Roses" game at Union League Park, Christmas Day. The west-end aggregation, with a win over Willie Mac Murray's Alexandria Roamers should prove a tough nut for the churchmen to crack. On the other hand, the victory the Ebenezans enjoyed over the crack Stonewall A.C. last Sunday, has put them into the shape needed for a return battle with the Bears. In a previous battle the Ebenezer gridders defeated the Bears 6-0 after outplaying them throughout the contest. About 600 persons witnessed the clash at 4½ and Maine Avenue, and it was said then that if the two teams met again it should be a red hot battle. The Teddy Bears will go through a practice scrimmage at the Monument Lot Sunday. Either the Georgetown Preps or the Old Teddy Bears will be their opponents. The Old Bears include such stars as Payne Johnnie Burrell, Scint Lee and Ben Fells. TURNER & THOMAS SHINE AS ELKS BEAT COMMUNITY Though they outplayed their opponents in every department of the court game, the Community A. A. Yellowjackets, Washington's newest sensations, went down to defeat at the hands of the Monumental Lodge Elks, 31-23 at the Lincoln Colonnade, Monday night. The game, which pried the lid off the 1928 season here, was witnessed by one of the largest crowds to have ever turned out to see a basketball game in the Capital. Especially noteworthy was the large turnout of ladies. Throughout the entire first period the locals stayed on the long end of the count, but a relapse in the closing stages gave the Elks their chance for victory. "Slim" Thomas and "Soup" Turner, former local court stars, were the "big guns" in the invader's attack. These two boys played a large part in turning the victory in the final stages. The Community team exhibited superb team play which literally bewildered the Monumentals the whole of the first half. Com'unity 9 f tp Elks g f tp Givens,f .4 2 1 0 Simpson,f .2 2 6 Lacy, .3 0 6 S.

The Elk team will present the same combination which has performed so creditably for the past 5 years under the purple and white of Henry Hill's Alcoes. With the few new faces which have been added for the purpose of making a strong team still stronger, the Elks should furnish tough going for all invading court quints for this season. The Peerless team, though hitherto unknown in this city, is touted as being a worthy opponent. The Exalted Ruler of Columbia Lodge will toss up the ball to begin ceremonies. Music will be furnished throughout the evening. BILL FRANCIS, EX-STAR TO MANAGE HILDALE Chicago Veteran Comes Back as Field General and Bench Manager for Darby Daisies. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Launching upon an extensive plan, Charlie Freeman the new leader of the Hildale Club, announces he has acquired the keystone of the 1928 edition of the Darby Daisies by signing Bill Francis, veteran infielder, of Chicago to manage the Hildale team. Incidentally this will be a return engagement for the diminutive third sacker, as Francis captained the Daisies in 1920, 1921 and 1922. However, Francis comes back in the role of a leader and will not be required to be in the line-up as a regular. Francis is one of the old school players and sprang into prominence during the hey day of the old Philadelphia Giants. It was, however, with Rube Foster's American Giants that Francis developed into a star and formed a part of the great infield of Grant, DeMoss, Lloyd and Francis. The Hilldale management is not satisfied with the brand of ball produced the past season by the Hilldale team, neither were the fans. The acquisition of Francis to manage the team may be taken as a fore-runner of a big shake up in the ranks of the Daisies. MOREHOUSE DEFEATS FISK, 14 TO 13 Lady Luck proved unkind to the Fisk Bulldogs who lost a closely contested game with Morehouse, 14 to 13. Playing with a badly crippled team the Fisk eleven suffered the worst of a number of bad breaks which were all made the most of by Coach Harvey's Maroon football team. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Consistency in play, headwork and sportsmanship played a big part in the final picking. Ends: Fowler of Seminary and Streeter of A. and T., get the call from a group of 5 ends who showed up well. Tackles: The tackles have had a hard fight. Slaughter of Va. State and Lee of Hampton came out on top. Guards: Among a set of mediocre guards, Miller of A. and T. and Robinson of Hampton barely stand out. Centers: The center position goes to Patterson of A. and T. whose soul opponent for the mythical position was Tobin of Union. Tobin, it seems, was inconsistent either in his playing or his desire to win. Quarterback: Breaux selected. The Panther general showed his usual brainy type of play and got EBENEZER CLAIMS D. C. CHAMPIONSHIP By virtue of their 13-0 victory over the strong Stonewall A. C. last Sunday, the Ebenezer eleven laid claim to the 1927 gridiron championship of the District. The church boys, with wins over the Stonewalls and Teddy Bears, the two strongest teams in the city, feel that they have a right to the claim. The only loss the Ebenezans have suffered this year is a forfeiture to the crack Alexandra Roamers, when they left the field following an argument over placement of the ball at the close of the third quarter. ARROWS LOSE OPENER The Arrow basketball team, met defeat 20-13 at the hands of the Community A. A. Reserves. Monday, December 12, at the Lincoln Colonnade in the preliminary to the Community--Elk battle.

Halfbacks: Here are the positions which required the greatest amount of care in the choosing. A wealth of good material brought out Coleman of A. and T. and Washington of Union. Fullback: Lane, the human battering ram of A. and T. outplayed his competitors for this position. Though the battle was keen throughout the North Carolinian came through with flying colors. The All-Star Committee whose task it is to pick the mythical eleven consists of the following men: W. A. Johnson, chairman, Rufus E. Clements, Walter Reeves, W. E. Morrison and S. F. Coppage. "Wild Man" Lee, big, strong and aggressive tackle of the Seaside Institute's eleven was chosen as the most valuable player to his team. He had, as opponents, Coleman of A. and T. and Johnson or V. N.

ATHENIANS OVERCOME EARLY HOWARD LEAD HOWARD BASKETEERS LOSE OPENER IN BALTIMORE The Howard basketeers were defeated by the Athenians of Baltimore by a score 25-21, last Friday night at New Albert Auditorium, Baltimore, Md. The Howard team opened up with a strong defense in the first half that looked as if the game would be a walk away for the Washington boys, but in the second half the Athenians led a bombardment attack on the Howard men that practically bewildered them. Veney and Jackson acted as steadiers to the Athenian combination. Wyatt twisted four turn counters in the second half. These three men were easily the stars of the game.

Big Five, champions of this city for 5 years, opened its 1928 season with a 21-19 win over the Campfire Girls of the Community House, Baltimore, last Friday night. With a team built around only two seasoned players, the Phyllis Wheatley girls journeyed to the Monumental City and took their first foes into camp by displaying a strong defense and a fairly capable attack. Gant and Nelson are the only remaining girls of the quint which has made itself so widely known the past several seasons. The Campfire team, gave a good account of itself during the early stage of the game, but with the resumption of play for the second quarter experienced great difficulty solving the visitors' newly designed defense.

The score by no means indicated the margin of superiority of the St. Christopher boys over the Capitol Club. Coach Bradford of the New Yorkers, had carefully pointed his charges for their eastern league debut, and the boys were rarin' to go. They outpassed, outfought, out-shot the home boys until they were well night bewildered. From start to finish the overflowing crowd that packed the Roseland Hall to its capacity was thrilled and chilled to the marrow of St. Christopher's spectacular playing.

Electro-Therapy TAKE THE SUN CURE Electro-Therapy TAKE THE SUN CURE Sunlight plays a major role in promoting health. It kills germs, stimulates the vital forces, sedates the nerves. In fact the process of life itself is impossible without sunlight. In the treatment of disease the component parts of sunlight are used separately or together by different lamps producing the desired rays. I use the Infra-red or dark heat rays for their penetrating effect on the deeper tissues, indicated in sprains, contusions, backache, sore muscles, rheumatism, sinus infection, sore throat, bronchitis, varicose veins, and congestion. The old hot water bag heated the skin and the skin only. The therapeutic lamp (giving light) useful for the same conditions but more superficial. It is a most convenient method to use when fresh blood is necessary for a cure, when congestion must be removed and when pain must be relieved. CONSULT ME IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC CASES.

Magnolia attracted favorable attention in her first try-out before the camera. She appeared with the Duncan sisters in "Topsy and Eva" last April which was made by United Artists. Her next engagement was with Harry Langdon in "Three's a Crowd." Then the little star went to Uniserval Pictures in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Her next appearance was with Warner Brothers in "The Heart of Maryland." Afterwards she worked with "Snookums" a white juvenile star who works for Stearnes Studios. About this time Mack Sennett was ready for his new picture the "House Burglar" and then came Magnolia's big opportunity. Mack Sennett desirous of being assured of the services of this little star, signed her up for five years. Other pictures Magnolia has appeared in are: "Department Store" and "California." Y.W.C.A. NOTES Y.W.C.A. NOTES The Carnival of Nations held at the Y. W. C. A., December 5-9, was an attractive as well as an educational affair. The booths representing different countries and the gym and social hall were prettily decorated. Large flags of the nations as well as small flags were used along with the red, white and blue of our own country. Programs were given each night and many dainty and useful articles were for sale. Suppers were also served each evening. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton was chairman of the affair. Girl Reserve Department On Saturday, December 17, the high school girl reserves will enjoy a pre-holiday frolic in the gymnasium. On Sunday, December 18, the Girl Reserves will hold a Christmas Vesper program at 4 p.m. The girls are preparing a Christmas box for the children of the Weaver Orphan Home, Hampton, Va. All clubs are singing Christmas carols at their regular meetings. Extension work is being done at Tabor Presbyterian Church on Mondays and at Union Wesley Church on Fridays.

P.-T. ASS'N FAVORS MARRIED TEACHERS P.-T. ASS'N FAVORS MARRIED TEACHERS The Randall Parent-Teachers' Association at its annual meeting took up the question of the employment, retention and service of the married teacher. After a general discussion of the subject the vote taken showed that the Association favored the married teacher 37 to 2. The decision of the Association is to be presented to the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations at its next meeting. The Reverend George Fisher of St. Monica's Church addressed the association on what he called "The Present Problem of Sex." He urged that both teachers and parents face this issue with more open-mindedness and sincerity. He emphasized the fact that much of the juvenile delinquency is caused by the failure of adults to properly inform the youth concerning matters of sex relationships. The Association was entertained by a piano solo by Evelin Smith, a Randall student, and by two vocal selections from a group of young men representing the Progressive Choral Society of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. The Association voted to continue its efforts to bring about the location of a branch library in the Randall Junior High School. Notices of meetings of the Parents Club and Mothers Club auxiliary of the Association were announced. Howard Cab LOWEST RATES Potomac 142 Superior Safe Service DRIVERS: OWNERS POOR, poor girl!

Lincoln Theatre SATURDAY ONLY—Universal Chapter Play "TRAIL OF THE TIGER" with Jack Mower MARGUERITE DELAMOTTE & AN ALL Coming Soon: Alice Terry in "The Garden of Allah" Footlights By McAlpin The stage at the Howard Theatre this week is graced with the presence of three performers who are always favorites with the patrons. They are Billy Young, Nona Marshall, and Elizabeth Smith. These three girls are really entertaining, and invariably win the plaudits of the audience. Elizabeth, as most everyone knows her, is the little fiery miss who plunks the ukelele and sings naughty songs. But, seemingly, the more naughty the song, the better it is liked by the Howard patrons, and since Elizabeth has a way of putting them over without offense, one may say it is good. Nona Marshall and Billy Young, who have been here before and won the hearts of the theatre-goers, show best when they work together as a team. They are assisted by Teddy Ferguson, whose tap dancing is far above average. Edgar Martin and Albert Jackson uphold the comedy end of the show. There is some good bits introduced by them. Sometimes, one actually cannot refrain from laughing at their antics. The chorus is not so hot. Not nearly as good nor as good-looking as the one which appeared on the stage last week. Some of the girls seem to be just breaking into the stage life and show evidence of their inexperience through their awkwardness and lack of knowledge of the dances. Without them, however, the show would not be what it is, so we must give them credit for adding something. That Broadway vehicle, "Afrina," has stepped down off of its high perch and is now playing the Lafayette Teatro up in Harlem. Ethel Waters, who some- ago it was reported had ac- pted a contract to entertain in- ie of New York's Broadway Nite ubs, is still playing the leading le. The show, which was dis- tinued when it left Broadway, is now resumed. The show booked for a two-week's run at ne Lafayette, and the opening 'onday night promised that it could be a successful fortnight. MATINEE DAILY—15c Lin U Street at 12 Sun., Mon., T The Sensatio T Rod La Rue "in THE FIGHT SATURDAY ONLY—Un "TRAIL OF THE T Coming "SYNCOPATION" AT HOWARD THEATRE NEXT WEEK For one week beginning Monday matinee, December 19, the Howard Theatre management presents an all new revue "Synopcation." In this age of jazz this title is exceedingly fitting for a jazz revue. The cast is composed of Inez Dennis, Monette Moore, Billy McLauren, Floyd Young, Goldie Blue, George Wiltshire and Billy Thirl. In addition to this splendid cast will be seen a large chorus of beautiful syncopators. The screen attraction for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be the "Rejuneation of Aunt Mary, featuring May Robson and Phyllis Haver, supported by Harrison Ford, Robert Edson and Franklin Pangborn. This is a story of Aunt Mary who believes herself to be deaf. The situations are provocative of numerous laughs with the climax of an exciting automobile race, the finish of which will fairly drag the audience out of their seats. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday the screen attraction will be "For Ladies Only," featuring Jacquelin Logan and John Bowers. This is an anusing story of a young man who inherits a large business but believes that the place of a woman is not in industry but in the home and to this end refuses to employ ladies in his business. The incidents that follow this declaration causes rounds of thills, excitement, and merriment. However, the hero is finally convinced that a woman can do things as well as a man, at which time the story has a happy ending. On Friday, the regular midnight ramble will be held beginning at 12:15 sharp, at which time the management assures its patrons of two and one-half hours of real entertainment. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on the Saturday of the week before the show. ROD LA ROCQUE AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK For Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the screen attraction will be "The Fighting Eagle" featuring Rod La Roque whose marvelous acting in "Resurrection" has won world-wide rekhnent.

THE OUE SPORTERS FIRST GOOD who barked at the diplomatic plan of a powerful, intriguing minister to abduct the Emperor Napoleon of France. It is laid in a day when love, bravery, intrigue and daring were passport to glory and fame. The entire theme of this great drama of the days of Napoleon is wound about the love of an innkeeper's son who later becomes an officer in Napoleon's P ROD LA ROCQUE AND PHYLLIIS HAVER or "The Fighting Eagle" crack cavalry, and who falls in love with Phyllis Haver, who is the brains of the French secret service. The many thrilling and daring escapades of these two lovers will cause the audience many breath-taking moments, especially between where the hero is about to be trapped for his failure to do his duty. On Wednesday and Thursday will be seen Warner Baxter in the "Coward." The story deals with the wealthy young society man, who goes into the wilderness of Canada to relieve himself after a disastrous scandal which has left him shun by his former circle of friends. In the picturesque North woods he becomes friendly with a native trapper who assists him in rescuing his former rival on the perilous position of a cliff which restores his confidence in himself. The story has a gigantic climax in which the hero returns and finds that he is a hero, and whips his enemy to regain a beautiful girl, which role is played by the beautiful, charming Lynn. On Friday and Saturday will be seen the "Final Extra" featuring Margaret De La Motte. The story, as the title would apply, revolves around the most familiar things the public uses, the daily newspaper; but it is something the public perhaps knows the least about. How the newspaper gathers its story, the energy and ingenuity used in getting out this periodical and the mechanical processes which put thousands of pa- Under Howard Management Reg. Freeman, Asst.

The great star of "Ben Hur," Ramon Novarro, will be seen in his latest picture, "The Road to Romance," at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 18, 19, 20 and 21. Marceline Day, Roy D'Arcy and Marc Dermott support this picture. No more colorful and picturesque romantic melodrama has been screened this year than "The Road to Romance." ROMAN NOVARRO and MARCELINE DAY IN THE ROAD TO ROMANCE The background is Cuba in the early days of Spanish rule when high officials amassed fortunes and stole women because they were able to operate in a high-handed manner as a result of their league with pirates. The story is laid in a picturesque Cuban village where a crooked Spanish judge awaits only the death of a girls' brother before seizing her in an effort to compel her to marry him. Novarro gives a splendid portrayal in the role of Jose Armando and looks every inch a Spanish caballero in search of adventure, and who saves the girl. Roy D'Arcy gives his usual interpretation as a 'Heavy' as the Spanish judge. "The Road to Romance" is a Super-Special picture. The great team of Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton in their new picture of adventure, "Now We're in the Air," will be the attraction at the republic on Thursday and Friday December 22 and 23.

Dudley, Sr. I was just reading in the Pittsburgh Courier that John T. Gibson was negotiating the Alhambra Theatre in New York, and the Orpheum Theatre in Newark, N. J. This would give the Philadelphia magnet four theatres, and the controlling situation in the East.

It is good that Mr. Gibson had the forethought to compete with his competitors. "Gibbie" as we call him; is a wide-awake showman and deserves a lot more credit than most people give him. He is an A. No. 1 sound business man or he would not have the "jack" he has; that's the answer. We must merge and co-operate if we expect to keep going in the colored theatre business. After the meeting of the T. O. B. A. officials and the election of officers which shall take place in January, I hope to have more to say about consolidation of colored theatres and colored pictures. I cannot help mentioning colored pictures for they mean so much to the race as well as the amusement world. Just before mailing this my secretary called my attention to the consolidation of W. S. Scales and Milton Starr; this proves my idea BROADWAY RE-OPENING A crowd of over 2000 people attended the re-opening of the new Broadway Theatre. Boxes of candy were given to all who attended; and special music was furnished by the Capitol City Serenaders.
