Dunbar Girl Hit by Truck, Driver Rushes Her to Hospital and Makes His Escape DETECTIVE SERGEANT J. T. JACKSON RETIRES WITH ENVIABLE RECORD DETECTIVE SERGEANT J. T. JACKSON RETIRES WITH ENVIABLE RECORD FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 34 Dunba DETECTIVE SE JACKSON RE ENVIABLE Detective Sergeant J. T. (Tom) Jackson, for the past 30 years one of the most capable detectives attached to the police force, worked his last day as a member of the headquarters squad, Wednesday. Turning in his badge and revolver, Mr. Jackson, went on a 14-day leave with pay, at the conclusion of which he is to be retired. Mr. Jackson, who is now sixty years old and who is being retired at his own request, holds the distinction of having arrested more murderers than any other man in the police department. More than 100 men and women have been captured by Mr. Jackson on homicide charges in this city and other jurisdictions. This record has never been approached by any other policeman in this city. Promoted to Detective As a uniformed man in the fourth predictive more than a score of years ago, Mr. Jackson made such an enviable record that he could not be denied recognition as a "stong-arm" of the first water. He was promoted to the position of plain-clothes man and later sent to the central office as a detective sergeant. Mr. Jackson is one of the five colored men who have served as detective sergeants at headquarters. The first was Henry Lacy. He was followed by Harry Beckley, Paul W. Jones, J. W. Jones and Mr. Jackson, Mr. Lacy died in 1913. The Jones brothers went over seas during the World War and when they returned, Paul Jones resumed his sleuthing duties while his brother entered service in the Department of Justice. Mr. Beckley resigned about six years ago. Mr. Jackson has ben felled twice by bullets while he was doing duty. He lives at 822 T street, northwest. Precinct Detective H. W. Smith, attached to number 8 precinct, has been promoted to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Jackson's retirement. NATIONAL BANKERS CALL ON PRES. COOLIDGE A delegation from the National Negro Bankers' Association, headed by Major R. R. Wright, Sr., of Philadelphia, Pa., president of the association called at the White House on February 11 and asked President Coolidge's support of the general movement of organizing thrift among the Negroes of the United States. In the delegation were Major Wright, S. W. Rutherford, Judge Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, John R. Hawkins, J. N. Maruiss and R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia. After the conference, Major Wright stated that he had informed President Coolidge that there are in the United States nearly 60 Negro banks with deposits of more than $22,000,000 and more than 320,000 depositors. While some of these banks are more than a quarter of a century old, he said, most of them have grown up with the prosperity which followed the World War. Major Wright stated that there are 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States who earn approximately three billion dollars annually. He feels, he said, that they should be able to save at least 5 per cent, of $150,000. Negro property holdings, he stated, are worth not less than $3,000,000, the largest single item being $150,000 of church property. Negro bank failures, Mr. Wright declared, have not averaged one a year for the last ten years. DISMISSAL OF STUDENT STARTED KITTRELL ROW HENDERSON, N.C., Feb. 16 (PNS)—The discharge of one official and expulsion of a female student between whom immoral relations were alleged to exist is said to have been the cause of the recent "strike" among the students of Kittrell College, according to a statement issued Wednesday by A. J. Wilson, press agent for the Board of trustees of the institution. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bar- ar SERGEAN RETIRES LE RECO PUBLISHED WEEKLY ar Girl He ERGEANT J. T. RETIRES WITH RECORD HOWARD MEDIC MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR, SHOT Released from police custody Monday, Shirley E. Gilbert, 25-year-old senior medical school student, was cleared of all charges entered against him in connection with the shooting near Second and U streets, northwest, early on the morning of February 7. As a result of the shooting, Gilbert received a slight wound of the face. Gilbert, lives at the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity house, 1922 Thirteenth street, northwest. He told police of the eighth precinct that he was in an alley just off Second street, when someone fired at him from a window of 1954 Second street. Suspected as Burglar Nathaniel Hill who lives at the Second street address, phoned police shortly after midnight of Monday, February 6, that he had just shot a man whom he saw standing in the alley in what he believed to be a crouching position. His reason for shooting, he said was because he suspected the man of being a burglar. Several complaints of prowlers and "Peeping Toms" have come to police from this same house in the past few months. In this case, Hill declared, he decided to take no chances. Following the shooting, Gilbert went to Freedmen's Hospital where he was treated by Dr. J. W. Shepard for a slight facial laceration. Precinct Detective H. W. Smith, attached to number 8, dispatched to Freedmen's as soon as Hill called reporting the shooting took Gilbert into custody. With Gilbert and Hill he reported to the station where the two men were questioned. Case Dismissed Each of the men were satisfied with the explanation of the other, neither pushed the case. Gilbert was rearrested Thursday by eleventh precinct police on a charge of "investigation." He was questioned in regard to the burglary of Walker's Pharmacy, 2501 Nichols avenue, southeast, on December 18. Gilbert was at one time an employee at the drug store. Besides giving an alibi as to his whereabouts on that night, Gilbert's finger-prints were taken and no resemblance between them and those found at the store could be found. He was released unconditionally, Monday. No action, Gilbert declared, would be taken against Hill. Y. W. C. A. GOAL SET AT $20,500 IN CAMPAIGN Y. W. C. A. GOAL SET AT $20,500 IN CAMPAIGN With the arrival of the campaign director, Mrs. Helen Fuarquar Sanford, from New York headquarters, the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., 301 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, is a beshive of activity in preparation for the important campaign to be staged February 27 to March 10. The goal of this campaign is $20,500. This sum includes besides the budget, $1,600 for a camp site of three acres, located at Arundel Md., and $15,000 for adding to dormitory space. The demand on the Phyllis Wheatley for housing girls who are strangers in the District is very heavy. In September, always a busy time because of the large number of students coming to the city and seeking lodging quarters for the winter; forty-two applicants had to be disappointed because of lack of bedrooms at the Phyllis Wheatley. 1 Through the rooms registry. (Continued on page 2) --- Washington Tribune FIRST ST., S. E. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 TWO NAT'L TRAINING SCHOOL GIRLS CAPTURED Blanche Thompson, 18, and Marie Hawkins, 17, students at the National Training School for Girls, (the District's penal institution) were returned to the institution Tuesday after having escaped over a month ago. The girls were two of the five who escaped from the Conduit Road School on December 28, 1927. The other girls have all returned. Mrs. Beuhla Chapman, 2031, Eleventh street, northwest, aunt of the Hawkins girls with whom the two girls have been living for more than the past week, notified police of the eighth precinct that the girls were at her house. Two policemen were sent to to address Tuesday afternoon and about 1:20 o'clock returned with the girls. KELLY MILLER'S SON IS MARRIED, H. U. DROPS HIM Word has just reached the Tribune, officially that Paul W. Miller and Grace Williams, Howard University of adverts, who eloped to Rockville and were married, December 8, 1927, are out of school and will not be allowed to return until next year. Paul is the youngest son of Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University. After marrying, the couple returned to school for the winter quarter, both registering as single. Because of this deception, the university authorities being in ignorance of the marriage were not able to enforce the school rule which states that "students who marry during the school year, automatically separate themselves from the university." However, the marriage came to the attention of the authorities, and the Millers were forced to leave the school. They it is said, are living with the parents of the husband at 2225 Fourth street, northwest. Asked by a Tribune reporter Wednesday, the reasons for the action taken in the Miller case and for the passing unpunished of two similar cases, F. D. Wilkinson, Howard University registrar said: ONLY ONE RACE SAYS DR. JUST IN ADDRESS ONLY ONE RACE SAYS DR. JUST IN ADDRESS There are no such things as separate races, declared Dr. Ernest E. Just, professor of zoology at Howard University, in an address at the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association Sunday afternoon. The day was observed as "Race Relations Sunday." "What we look upon as race traits and characteristics are of no vital significance," said Dr. Just. "The brotherhood of man is a fact because it rests upon good biological findings," he stated. "One way to establish racial comity," he said, "is an understanding of these simple, fundamental truths." Mrs. Marian Haney, who recently returned from Honolulu, spoke of race relations in the Hawaiian capital. Two original poems, "Let Me Not Hate" and "Calling Dreams" were read by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, author of two volumes of verses, "The Heart of a Woman" and "Bronze." Professor Stanwood Cobb, who has taught in Asia Minor, spoke on "Psychology of Race." He declared that "the hope of the world is in the spiritual oneness of mankind." Differences of race, he said, are not so much physical as psychological. Miss Avis Andrews, a Howard University student, sang "Come Unto Me" (Handel). Mrs. Coralie F. Cook presided. MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS SAYS REV. WILLIAMS MISSES THE ISSUE MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS SAYS REV. WILLIAMS MISSES THE ISSUE Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., at Lincoln Heights, D. C., released her second article this week in the controversy over the ownership of the school. The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, is demanding that the trustees of the National Training School, surrender their charter and turn the school over to the convention to own, manage and control. The fight to get control of the school for the National Baptist Convention is being led by Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago, president of the convention. Miss Burroughs' statement in part follows: FAILS TO ANSWER MISS BURROUGHS IN TALK HERE The Rev. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, failed to touch upon his controversy with Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, regarding the management and control of that institution, in his address at the Baptist Ministry Conference of Washington and Vicinity held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday. In his conference address, Dr. Williams contented himself with an exposition of Baptist doctrines and an affirmation of fundamentalism. His reason for visiting Washington at this time when the controversy between him and Miss Burroughs is at fever-heat, Dr. Williams said, is that he is traveling in America to promote the interests of the Negro race through the Baptist denomination. Baptists are Numerous Baptists are Numbers. Baptists have a larger opportunity than any other denomination, he stated, because there are more of them. He put the number of Baptists at three and one-half millions. Because Baptists have a larger opportunity, he said, they also have a larger responsibility. His only remark that can in any way be interpreted as a reference to the controversy concerning the National Training School for Women and Girls was his statement that "whatever is created in the name of the denomination ought to be subject to the denomination." At the close of his address, Miss Burroughs was invited from the audience to the platform. She was warmly applauded as she made her way to the rostrum. Later Miss Burroughs spoke and declared that her chief concern in church affairs is the unification of the the factions of the Baptist church, the Lott Carey faction, the incorporated group and the unincorporated group. As long as Baptists fight among themselves, said Miss Burroughs, they will weaken their morale and resources. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, responded to the address of Dr. Williams. The Rev. W. A. Gay, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, presided. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin presented Dr. Williams. Henry J. Booker, 11 years old, rendered an organ solo. Scripture was read by the Rev. W. L. Washington. Prayer was offered by the Rev. William D. Jarvis. After the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference a reception was tendered to Dr. Williams. TO INSTALL OFFICERS The Federation of Men's Church Club of Washington will install its officers for 1828 Monday evening, at 8 o'clock, at the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q sweetest northwest. A special program will be given. The Trinity Congress Club will give a tea Sunday, February 19, at the residence of Mrs. Ware, 1428 T street, northwest. An interesting program will be rendered. The club's officers are Mrs. Loretta Lacey, president; Mrs. McKane, vice-president; Mrs. E. Carter, secretary; Mrs. E. Ware, assistant secretary, and Mrs. C. Waldon, treasurer. "After reading Dr. L. K. Williams' 'piece' in the Negro press of this week, I turned to my Bible and read Job 38:2—'Who is it that darkeneth counsel by words, without knowledge?' "He says that he wrote his 'piece' because he fears that the public might be led to believe that Miss Burroughs was the founder of the Training School. "There are three things that Dr. Williams doubtless does not know: (1) that the public can read; (2) that the public supports the Training School because it likes the person who runs it and the way she runs it; (3) that the public has not asked him who founded the school. "It did not have to ask. It is written and it has been written for seventen consecutive years in the catalogues of the school. The public has read it but Dr. Williams has not. "The institution was founded by the Woman's Auxiliary and the National Baptist Convention at the session held in Washington, September 14, 1907. The fact of the matter is that the question as to who started the Training. School is not now and never has been an issue, even in the National Baptist Convention. Not an Answer "This 'piece' written by Dr. Williams is not an answer to the argument presented by me. I most respectfully ask Dr. Williams to again take his Bible, and this time, I want him to read Job 38:3—Gird up now thy loins, like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me."

McCoy in criminal court, last Thursday and Saturday. McCuller, who gave his address as being in Pittsburgh, and Norris, who claimed residence in Philadelphia were charged with defrauding Mrs. Elvener Hodge of this city on a "pocket-book game." Johnson was sentenced for the practice of the same swindle on Mrs. Georgiana Jones. Both crimes were committed last summer. McCuller and Norris were given seven years each and Johnson was sentenced to ten years. All of them were captured by Headquarters Detective Paul Jones. CLAIM NEGROES SUFFER MUCH DISCRIMINATION NEW YORK, Feb. 16 (PNS)—To crystalize opposition to the flagrant discrimination against Negro students at New York University, a second conference of labor, student and civic organizations were held Wednesday night at the Abhysianian Church. It is claimed that Negro students attending the university have been prevented from participating in all phases of college life, due largely to the presence of several southern students at the university. They are Mattie M. Neely, Reba Mc-Lain, William S. Dougherty and Albert Smith. A mass meeting to protest against the discrimination at the university will be held Thursday, February 24 at St. Mark's M.E. Church. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. HARMON AWARDS ARE PRESENTED TO WINNERS Governor Howard M. Gore, of West Virginia, presented the first Harmon prize in education and first prize in music to President John W. Davis and Professor Clarence Cameron White, respectively, on Sunday evening, February 12, at Charleston, W. Va. Both men are connected with West Virginia Collegiate Institute. At Durham, Professor G. W. Pearson, educator and capitalist, was presented the second Harmon award in business by Durham's mayor, J. M. Manning, before a large gathering of white and colored citizens. At Hampton, Va., Douglas Gordon, editor of the Norfolk Ledger Despatch, presented the first award in music, there having been two firsts in 1927, to R. Nathaniel Dett, doctor of music and director of the school of music at Hampton Institute. SUIT AGAINST A.W.MITCHELL IS DISMISSED The petition of George W. Beasley, a Government clerk, and Thomas Frazier, an undertaker, for the appointment of receivers, an accounting and dissolution of the Mutual Housing Company, a Delaware corporation doing business in the District of Columbia, was dismissed by Justice William Hitz in equity court No. 1. Tuesday. The plaintiffs indicated in court that they would file an amended petition within twenty days, the time allotted by Justice Hitz. Hearing of the motion to dismiss was begun Monday. The plaintiffs conceded that the bill was insufficient to hold the corporation and concentrated their efforts on sustaining it as to Arthur W. Mitchell, president of the corporation, from whom damages were sought. After lengthy arguments by counsel, Justice Hitz ruled that the bill should be dismissed. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins appeared for the defendants. The Mutual Housing Company owns the Oregonian, the Luray, and the Sherman avenue apartments. HOUSE FAVORS NATIONALIZING HOWARD UNI HOUSE FAVORS NATIONALIZING HOWARD UNI The bill authorizing Federal appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of Howard University was favorably reported to the House last Wednesday by Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York, from the Committee on Education to which the bill was referred. The committee recommended that the bill be passed as introduced. A minority report, signed by Representatives B. G. Lowery of Mississippi, M. C. Tarver of Georgia, and Rena L. De Rouen of Louisiana, all Democrats, was also submitted. The majority report is in part as follows: "Apart from the precedent established by 49 years of congressional action, the committee feels that Federal aid to Howard university is fully justified by the national importance of the Negro problem. National Obligation "For many years past it has been felt that the American people owed an obligation to the Indian, whom they dispossessed of his land, and annual appropriations of sizable amounts have been passed by Congress in fulfillment of this obligation. "The obligation in favor of the Negro race would seem to be even stronger than in the case of the Indian. The Negro was not robbed of his land as was the Indian but he (Continued on page 2) (Continued on page 2) U STREET, N.W. shes s His H INTERNE DELA REPORT TO P MAN'S GE INTERNE DELAYS MAKING REPORT TO POLICE; AIDS MAN'S GET-AWAY BECOMES ILL ON GIRL'S BIRTHDAY, DIES ON SON'S Taking sick on the birth anniversary of his daughter, March 12, 1927, Charles A. Thomas, well known local church and fraternal worker, died at Freedmen's Hospital Sunday, February 12, the birthday of his son. Mr. Thomas, though born in Winchester, Va., lived in Washington since early childhood. He was a prominent member of various fraternal organizations, holding offices in Social Lodge, No. 1, Free Ancient and Accepted Masons, Queen Esther Chapter No. 1, Order of the Eastern Star, and Ionic Lodge, No. 1028 Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Besides these orders, Mr. Thomas held membership in the Banneker Relief Association and the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants. By trade, he was a barber, owning and operating a shop at Fifth and G streets, northwest, for over 20 years. Funeral services were held Wednesday at two o'clock from St. Luke's Episcopal Church, where Mr. Thomas was a member, Rev. T. J. Brown, pastor of the church, eulogized. Mr. Thomas is survived by Mrs. Pearl A. Thomas, his wife, Marshall Leroy, his son, and a daughter, Mrs. Ophelia Anderson. LOCAL H. S. GRAD HIKES FROM N. Y. TO WASHINGTON LOCAL H. S. GRAD HIKES FROM N. Y. TO WASHINGTON Cora Leona Byrd, coy New York City maiden and a graduate of Armstrong Technical High School in the mid-year class of 1926, arrived in this city on a hike from her native town last Saturday afternoon. Miss Byrd left New York Monday, February 6, on what was intended as an endurance hike in which she desired to test her ability to stay in the open air any length of time. Encountering so many various changes of weather conditions and sustaining a severely sprained ankle Miss Byrd found that she would be unable to complete the journey solely on foot. She received some few lifts, she admitted, but none were accepted before the ankle began troubling her. There were no unpleasant experiences encountered on the trip, Miss Byrd declared, and when asked by a Tribune reporter how she enjoyed it she replied, "I wouldn't take a million dollars for it." Miss Byrd left New York with $4.50 and arrived at the Young Women's Christian Association in this city, with $1.80. The young woman expects to return to her home by train. Sunday. She is stopping with her uncle, John F. Holmes, 2302 Champlain street. FIRE PREVENTION MACHINES INSTALLED As a matter of public safety and to ever be on the alert in the safe-guarding of the lives within the confines of his theatres, A. E. Lichtman, who operates the Howard, Lincoln, Rosatin, and Jewell Theatres of this city and the Royal Theatre of Baltimore, Md., announced this week that he has had installed in his theatres the sentry safety control system which absolutely prevents film fires thereby avoiding the possibilities of a panic stricken public. The sentry safety control is a delicate piece of machinery which has passed all of the tests of the fire departments of the large cities as being the most efficient fire prevention device.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everywhere real in the city TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS Escape AYS MAKING POLICE; AIDS ET-AWAY Failure of Freedmen's Hospital authorities to notify police authorities immediately upon the arrival of Emma Gray, 14-year-old sophomore at Dunbair High School, who was struck and knocked down by a motor truck Tuesday, probably means the escape of the white driver of the vehicle which ran the child down. Miss Gray, who lives at 128 Kendall street, northeast, was crossing First street in front of the Dunbair School during the recess period when a one-ton delivery truck owner, and operator unknown, struck her and knocked her down. The driver, a young white man immediately picked her up and carried her to Freedmen's Hospital. Dr. H. F. Sheppard, attached to the staff, received Miss Gray and treated her for lacerations of the head, face and shoulders and for contusions of the hip. The physician took a name and address from the registration card the driver presented, but on investigation of the case by second precinct police it was learned that the name was fictitious and that the house was unoccupied. The card was made out to William Mannow. 1400 Fifteenth street, northwest. Police declare that arrests in the case have been delayed because although the accident occurred at 1 p'clock it was not reported to them until 2:20 p.m. Latest reports from the hospital are to the effect that Miss Gray's condition is somewhat improved. REFUSES $60,000; ALICE WANTS HALF MILLION NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 17 (PNS)—According to a story appearing in the New York Daily Mirror, Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander has too much sense to let Kip's family have its way for the paltry sum of $60,000. The Mirror story says: An offer of $60,000 cash for re-unciation of all her rights as the wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander has been rejected by Alice Batrice Jones Rhinelander, it is reliably reported. Mrs. Rhinelander, daughter of the New Rochelle hackman, revealing the proffer of that sum for legal erasure of her name from the old Hugentot escutcheon, was quoted as having mentioned her own price, as nothing less than $500,000 cash. She let it be known also, that she is preparing a trip to Paris. It was implied she might get a divorce in Paris if the $500,000 is forthcoming. Otherwise she will continue to live on the $300 a month that comes out of Rhinelander's bounty—and has since their separation and annulment trial—util, perhaps, her separation suit in West Chester County is heard and her appeal for alimony of $1,000 a month acted upon. "I have been offered, $60,000" Mrs. Rhinelander told a friend: "but I felt, and have been advised, the least I can take is $500,000." $4,285 JUDGMENT HAD AGAINST DUNLOP ESTATE $4,285 JUDGMENT HAD AGAINST DUNLOP ESTATE A judgment against Dr. Reuben M. West, executor of the estate of Mrs. Sarah Dunlop, for the sum of $4,285 with interest, was returned by a jury in circuit court No. 2 in favor of Mrs. Emma Bauduit, wife of Professor William J. Bauduit of Howard-University, last Wednesday. Counsel for Dr. West filed a motion for a new trial and indicated that if this motion is denied, the case will be taken to the Court of Appeals. The judgment is for services Mrs. Bauduit claimed she rendered Mrs. Dunlop during a period of four years and for rent of the third floor in her home at No. 1913 T street, northwest, where the household effects of Mrs. Dunlop were stored following her death. Liberal Progressive Independent So rapid has been the elevation of standards in modern business that it is close to the lines of a profession. Keen competition, advertising, intelligent buying, the rapidity with which people in congested centers of modern living transfer ideas from one to another, and the sizable capital required for the establishment of a business, have operated to eliminate all who could not or would not play the game according to the revised code of rules. Price, always a dominant factor in volume of sales, has been made to take a lower place by the rivalry of service. The old guarantee which became a point of honor among the earlier manufacturers of certain lines, has been extended through national advertising to the point where the consumer knows everything except the secret formula. The manufacturer has been forced to the last ditch of reduced costs through efficient management, and has been obliged to raise the standards of conduct to secure the volume of sales necessary to create a profit on the investment. This evolution in business from the old days of "caveat emptor" (let the buyer beware) to the new day of "The customer is always right" has had its greatest effect upon the business men themselves. They now meet in conferences on the problems of their related affairs; they take the banker into their sincere confidence; they distribute responsibility among their employees with adequate rewards through the commission payment plan; and they map out campaigns which involve a large element of moral obligation to the dealers, jobbers, publicity agencies and the buying public-almost the rest of the entire commercial world. Any man, firm, corporation or other agency which refuses to do business on the present ethical basis is headed for bankruptcy or a criminal charge before a grand jury. "Let him who would be greatest among you, serve," is found to be good business as well as practical Christianity. ENGINEERING IN EDUCATION The necessity for speeding our thinking to meet the demands of an airplane age, is before us. No loud voiced claims of equality can support a failure to make the grade in the allotted time. Either we are capable of doing the world's work in a manner calculated to save the employer's time and materials, or we must accept lower wages with consequent liability to starvation. Many a man does not actually starve, but slowly loses his pace and grip through failure to get the things necessary to a complete life. Wages are largely the return for ability, skill, experience and education; and in return for your wages you get so much as you do get of the good things of life, and the ability to use a machine with precision and with concentration upon the task at hand, will increase those wages. Speedier thinking is demanded by the speedier rate of the revolutions of the flywheel. There is no denying that language is an index of speed of thought, in terms of images and ideas, but it is possible to find persons who are able to use language with facility while their hands remain unskilled and inexperienced. Dislike it as you may, if the situation calls for manipulation, language will be of no avail, except to call for help. Language is the tool of mutual understanding. The predominance of language forms in our education is due largely to the fact that such instruction costs less for mass teaching. It is cheap, costing a great state like New York, with its highly paid teachers and modern plants, but five cents per capita per day; the price of a package of chewing gum. The time has come when the productivity and consumption necessary to keep up America's standard of living must have its youth prepared in ever increasing numbers for ever increased speed in its machines. The task falls upon the schools. In our own city, where fifty-five live in every hundred of the colored white officers are engaged in domestic service, the time has come for a differentiation of the PUBLISHED Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMPANY, LLC. 220 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Suburban Date: of March 1, 1922; Six Months, $1.25.

Quick thinking, closer concentration upon the individual task, time and labor saving habits and accessories, specific and correct following of instructions, and placement in lines of employment for which the students are in reality prepared, are among the demands of this new age. Higher salaries for educational employees become possible at the present cost, or better prepared product may be expected at an increased cost, only by the introduction of engineering in education. At present, we are not getting from our expenditure of power in language, returns in keeping with the cost. There is too much waste and lost motion. KITE TAILS We rise by the things that seem to hold us down. The very pull of the tail of the kite compels the wind to lift the whole thing in order to blow on its way. Men and women who are making a living which satisfies their demands, seldom look about to find other and higher demands that might be met; they begin to enjoy life. Other men and women who are below the line of their own standard, seek some way out and often find it. If the pupils in our day schools put the energy, time and interest behind their work that is shown by those who are forced to use the night schools, we might be proud of the results; one acts on the plane of satisfaction, while the other seeks a way out. Laboring people sufficiently intelligent to be skilled in their work read the more solid sections of the newspapers and the more stimulating magazines and books. Shop girls buy ephemeral matter, and clerks, at fancy salaries in comparison with their standards of culture and living, find reading irksome and unnecessary. The number of comic strips we consume indicates the lack of strength in our determination to rise in the world. MISS BURROUGHS ANSWERS DR. WILLIAMS (Continued from page 1) "Here is some ancient history which might account for the doctor's lack of information. When Isaac, Boyd, Griggs, Jordan, Hayes, George W. Lee, E. J. Fisher, Walter H. Brooks, Harvey Johnson, William A. Credit, E. K. Love, L. L. Campbell, C. H. Clark, C. H. Parrish, R. H. Bowling W. G. Parks, W. F. Graham, E. C. Morris, E. M. Brawley and others, were out in the national arena fighting for Negro literature and self-help in all fields, Dr. L. K. Williams was down in Brazos Bottom fighting against these high ideas. "In my article, I argued the case on the facts, drew conclusions from the evidence, submitted and issued an ultimatum, predicated on the law governing eleemosynary institutions, and I will not be called off the trail." Does Not Claim Ownership "First; I have never claimed to be the founder of the National Training School, but I am. I actually defied all the men, and I dragged the women into the project. "Second: Dr. Williams claims that the idea is Mrs. Layten's. It is not. Under her discussion of 'Education' at our very first meeting at Cincinnati, Ohio, of the 1901 minutes, Mrs. Layten does not even mention the establishment of a school. But, in the same record on that same day, is a printed address under the caption 'A Training School.' Nannie H. Burroughs made an appeal. And she made similar appeals every year in her annual report until the convention voted favorably on the proposition. Read the minutes from 1901 to 1905. "Three: Dr. Williams says that the Woman's Convention gave me the first $7,000 to pay on the property. This is not true. The Women's Convention has never raised seven thousand dollars at any one time, nor has it ever accumulated that much money at any one time and kept it to pay on any project. The first payment on the Training School property was $500 and I raised $325 of it by direct appeal from the platform, and I raised over $200 by appeals sent out from our office. Nominating Trustees "Fourth: The Woman's Convention did not permit the convention be permitted to nominate trustees and even if it does ask, the request will not be granted. The privilege of nominating trustees belongs to the State Conventions THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 Needle Points By Willie Mack "The Negro's Inhibitions" is the caption of an article by Eugene Gordon in The American Mercury of February. Mr. Gordon has selected a small group of Bostonians and held them up as typical Negro society folks. As long as Mr. Gordon slanders "his people," he will encounter little difficulty in finding a white vehicle for his false condemnations. A beggar was seen last week with the following handicaps: she was a WOMAN; a NEGRO woman; a ONE-LEGGED, Negro woman; an ILLITERATE. one-legged, Negro woman; a POOR, illiterate, one-legged, Negro woman. Of the five disadvantages a friend remarked, "That being a Negro was the greatest handicap." You guess! The much abused word "guarantee" has at last broken into the spiritual world. In an article written by a preacher, he remarks that if certain things are done HE "guarantees" the followers of the doctrine a seat on high. We hope it won't be another case of being guaranteed a seat and on arriving find the sign: "Standing Room Only." * * * Dean Fuhrmann of the School of Pharmacy, Howard University, received acid burns on his foot for which it was necessary to have skin grafted there. So far, so good. But the rrafting was done at GEORGE WASHINGTON HOSPITAL. It is regretted that the operation was not performed at Freedmen's Hospital before the HOWARD intermes. Howard professors, like Howard students, should have that "Good old Howard spirit." The Masonic Temple in New York City was sold at public auction recently. We know all about the partly built structure of the Masons here. These are monuments, to the Negro's inability, whether financial or intellectual. No, not monuments — TOMB-STONES. The president of Howard University has been accused by a local weekly of being too reticent. Similar accusations have been made concerning the President of the United States; hence the nickname, "Silent Cal." Silence seems to be a presidential quality nowadays, whether of a great university or of a great nation. A Negro artist has a picture on display in the art exhibit at the National Museum, titled "Spring Woods." His was not selected as one of the best paintings by a Negro artist, but by an ARTIST. The Austria fascist organization is planning to hold an "anti-Negro demonstration" against the appearance at a Vienna theatre of Miss Josephine Baker, American colored jazz-dancer of Parisian fame. The Austrian fascists must be an illegitimate offspring of the American Ku Klux Klan. Mr. G. L. Washington, dean of the technical department of A. and T. College of Greensboro, N.C., won the first prize in mathematical design of kite-shaped race track. The contest was NATIONAL. Will this accomplishment be forgotten by the A. & T. student body when their champion football team begins its activities? The Virginia Senate refused to enact that Indians with "any ascertainable degree of Negro blood, without reference to or limit of time or number of generations removed" are Negroes. Since the smallest amount of Negro blood will transform a Caucasian into a Negro, while the same amount of Negro blood will not change the racial identity of the Indian, by a process of reasoning we deduce that the Virginia senators believe the status of the Indian is so low that even Negro blood will not contaminate him. Colonel Lindbergh, America's "good-will" flyer, received more than cheers on his arrival in San Juan, Porto Rico. He was given a documentary plea to the American people for "the freedom that you enjoy. . . . for Porto Ricans." What was to have been a "good-will" FLIGHT, appears more like a "good-will" FIGHT. that send up the delegates, and not to the delegates who are sent up by the State Conventions. "The proposition to have all Baptist trustees is impracticable. All of the colored members of the trustee board must be Baptists, but there are friends of the Negro race like Julius Rosenwald, William Jay Schieffelin, Amon Phelps-Stokes, J. B. Dillard, Thomas Jesse Jones and others who are as much interested in Negro education as any Negro in this country and they are big enough to serve on boards of institutions properly officered and operated regardless of denomination. "The second proposition of the doctor's resolution is that all trustees must be members of the Woman's Convention. Bar the Men? "Who in the world does Dr. Williams think is going to join the Woman's Convention simply for the privilege of serving as trustees of a poor little struggling school? Low are the men going to get in on it?" "Fifth: Dr. Williams said that they are not trying to run a boarding department at the American Baptist Theological Seminary. Why did Dr. Isaac make the appeal LETTERS TO THE EDITORS SAYS CRITICISM OF HOWARD PREXY IS NOT TIMELY (EDITOR'S NOTE—We know that all of the ideas of the Tribune do not meet, with the approval of all of our readers. We are honest in our convictions, and criticize when we think that out of our criticism some good may come. We are in the open, hence we think that those who desire to use this column should be of as good faith as we attempt to be. Our readers are requested to sign their names to their articles, for therein lies the good faith of the writer. We will refrain from publishing your name if you request it, but we would appreciate some show of sincerity on your part. The following letter was unsigned.) The Washington Tribune: To the editor of I was disappointed and disgusted with your article headed, "Dr. Mordecai and the Negro Press," which appeared in the Tribune of Friday, February 10. In it you criticize the president of Howard University because he has failed to give to the public certain facts concerning the university which you feel should be made public. It seems to me that rather than condemn him for this you would commend him as one who is able to "think through situations" before giving them over to be discussed in the public press. I was happy when Dr. Johnson was chosen to become the first Negro president of our greatest Negro institution, because I felt that in him he had a fearless leader who was the intellectual equal of the presidents of other large colleges of our country. I did hope then that we would be far-seeing enough to refrain from "knocking" at least long enough to allow him to put some of his fine ideas into practice. But before he has been in office two years your paper begins to criticize his policy when that policy is a common sense one. What good would have resulted from publishing in the Negro press the details of the Howard strike? As it was, the strike was quickly settled between the president, his officers and the students through the proper channels and in the proper way. Certainly had the paper known all the details they would have prolonged the discussion unnecessarily. I congratulate Dr. Johnson and the students of the university for the quiet manner in which the whole matter was settled. Let's stop "knocking" and begin to support our men who are doing big things. Use your paper to build up a strong feeling of harmony. Don't try to stir up animosity among the people against the man who is doing his best to help his race. Now that we have a good president—one of our own race, "boost" him and wish for him a long life of service to his people. Let us hope that he will leave Howard University only when forced to do so because of old age. A Reader then? "Sixth: Dr. Williams says they are paying me. They are not doing anything of the kind; but, if he wants to control this school, that is the way to start. Up to July 1, 1927, the trustees owed me $16,000.21 for salary and loans. "I am sorry to have to inject this personal element to tell of my sacrificial services for the denomination. Furthermore, in order to build up this institution, I have done everything except plough, and as badly as we need money now for other pressing obligations, I might have to do that when the time for the spring planting comes around. Her Convention "The National Baptist Convention is my convention because I helped to make it. I think more of it than Dr. L. K. Williams ever can because I have worked harder and longer and have made more sacrifices to build 'up than he has, and, furthermore, don't let anybody think that I am accepting what I know is Dr. Williams' personal attitude toward me as the attitude of the National Baptist Convention. I'll be blessed if I'll let Dr. Williams run me out of my convention. "Seventh: Dr. Williams says that he does not want to get into a controversy with me. Well, I'll relieve him of the pleasure. "Eighth: Dr. Williams claims that the National Baptist Convention backed the movement. There isn't a word of truth in it. The best evidence is that the convention met right here in the city of Washington in 1907 within thirty minutes ride on a street car to the school when it was dedicated and the officials did not come, the convention did not send a committee to represent it at the dedicatory exercises nor did it send a contribution. Founded Training School "I did found the National Training School, but it was founded for the Woman's Convention under the laws of the District of Columbia, just as the Southern Baptists founded the American Baptist Theological Seminary for the National Baptist Convention under the laws of the state of Tennessee and those laws make these two schools split-proof and mortgage-proof so far as the National Baptist Convention is concerned. "Nannie. Burroughs would not have the Training School if it were given to her, and she dares Dr Williams or anybody else who has intimated that she has 'fixed' anything for herself or that it is her purpose to 'steal' anything from the convention, to say it over his own signature or in the presence of M. E. SCHOOLS REPORT SHOWS MARKED PROGRESS CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 17 (PNS). At a meeting of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Edgewater Beach Hotel, here recently, the Negro schools and colleges of that church connation were reported in a most flourishing condition. College Enrollment Decreases High School Morgan College, Baltimore, Md., has 400 college students; Wiley College, Marshall, Tex., 389; New Orleans College, New Orleans, La., 300; Samuel Houston College, Austin, Tex., 275; and Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., 279; while all others doing college work are in advance of a year ago, in college enrollment. The high school enrollment in the colleges is decreasing and the secondary schools increasing. Dr. P. J. Maveyet, of Chicago, secretary Department of Educational Institutions for Negroes, who has reached the age of 73 years, voluntarily retired after 20 years of service with a tribute from the board for his faithful service. Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati. O., continues as secretary of the Endowment and Field Promotion of the system, this being his thirty-first year as one of the general officers in the M. E. church. His report showed that Negroes gave $300,000 during the year 1926-27 for missionary and educational work. Work Grows Under Dr. Penn Eight years ago from the same source, there was reported only $85,000 of the $300,000, the amount of $40,000 came from new movements covering eight months only, to provide from the Negro himself, an income for the Negro schools, independent of and in addition to, the regular income from the general church. Since these new movements were begun a year and a half ago, a total of $70,000 has been realized from the colored people, for education alone, in addition to the large sums through the regular church channels. Conference to Get Biggest Report Fours years ago four boards were merged, namely Board of Education, Education for Negroes, Sunday Schools and Epworth League, into one board under the name of the Board of Education. The merged board has functioned in a most excellent manner under Dr. W. S. Bovard, of Chicago, as corresponding secretary. Dr. Bovard will carry to the General Conference, meeting in Kansas City, Mo., during May, 1928, the greatest report for the Negro schools and colleges in all their history. CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PROPERTY VALUED AT $353,025 The Department of Commerce announces that, according to the returns received, there were in the United States 178 churches of the Colored Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1926, with 10,868 members, as compared with 138 churches and 13,077 members reported in 1916. The total expenditures for 1926, as reported by 167 churches, amounted to $50,304, including $70,437 for current expenses and improvements and $9,867 for benevolences, missions, etc. The total expenditures reported by 127 churches in 1916 were $39,497. The value of church edifices (including furniture and equipment), as reported by 162 churches for 1926, was $35,825, which may be compared with $230,426 reported by 130 churches in 1916. Of the 178 churches reporting in 1926, 60 were located in urban territory (incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more) and 118 were in rural areas. Of the total membership, 3,911 were in the urban churches and 6,957 in the rural churches; and of the total expenditures 56 urban churches reported $38,569 and 111 rural churches, $41,735. The value of church property reported by 52 urban churches was $167,920 and that reported by 110 rural churches was $185,905. Sunday schools were reported by 152 churches of this denomination in 1926, with 840 officers and teachers and over 5,000 scholars. The officers and teachers in the Sunday schools as reported for 1916 was 928 and the number of scholars, 7,471. "Finally, the National Baptist Convention can not do anything effective and abiding as long as the Baptists of the country fight each other and as long as we are apart. I have, therefore, kept the three wings of the denomination, Lott Carey Convention, the Unincorporated Convention, and Incorporated Convention together on the Training School question and I shall not be satisfied nor shall I stop working for the complete union of these three groups. "Now, Dr. Williams, here is the conclusion of the whole matter: I am not going off to operate any school for myself. I am not going to leave the National Baptist Convention. I am fighting for the protection and perpetuity of this violated that trust and we are not going to change the charter. We are operating a trust; we have not violated that trust and we are not going to surrender the charter until the Woman's Convention and the National Baptist Convention vote it and the Supreme Court of the United States orders it." (Signed) NANNIE H. BURROUGHS KIDDIES' CORNER G. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor FEBRUARY February is a month full of meaning. February gave us Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, those illustrious men who were destined to change the course of history. We cannot help but think with sadness of that little child, who had a great thirst for learning, born in Maryland of a slave mother. Imagine that little boy laboring night after night with his alphabet trying to learn to read. Think of that same boy in later years inspired with the desire to free his race from slavery. Think of the young man travelling through England and Canada stirring up sentiment against the enslavement of his people. Think of that same man editing his, "New National Era" which he dedicated to the service of his people. That child and man was our Frederick Douglass. When we think of the obstacles that he encountered in his quest for learning, we cannot help but realize how fatuate we are. When we consider that after all the brutal treatment that he received, he still had courage to go forth and fight for his cause, we cannot but know how blessed we are with freedom. With such a noble example before us we can willingly guide our lives into channels of service. Next let us try to picture a little country boy living in a crude log cabin, working from dawn till dark and studying his alphabet by firelight till the wee hours of the morning. Picture that lad and his mother devoted one to the other and the grief that he experienced at her death. Imagine that lad walking miles to borrow a book, whittling words on a wooden shovel with a jacknife. Picture that boy with honesty as one of his virtues working in a store winning the love of everyone. Then see that boy, grown to manhood entering politics. Picture, if you can, that same man as President of the United States. Picture that man a little later waging a long battle against slavery. Last of all, picture that man victorious signing the Proclamation of Emancipation. Everyone knows that man as "Honest Abe" Lincoln. Through these splendid examples of sterling manhood, integrity, ability, a sense of justice, we easily grasp the meaning of those few lines of poetry. "Lives of great men all remind us" etc. In those men one sees personified all that is courageous and upright. With these men as models let us try to pattern our lives with a similar design, that of loyalty, justice and service. Bearing these things in mind we can all agree that "February" is a great month. BOOK REVIEW Last week we said that we would give tickets to the Republic Theatre to the Tribunites whose reviews of books are published. This week we have a review by Rosalind Queen. Other Tribunites are urged to tell us what they think of the books that they read. Rosalind's review follows: "THE LIGHT THAT FAILED" "The Light That Failed" was written by Rudyard Kipling. This story is about a poor boy and girl who wanted to be great artists. In spite of their many misfortunes in life they got enough money to open a studio. There was one picture they wanted to paint, called the "Melancolic." The girl (Mazie) became disgusted because the boy (Dick) would not let her paint the picture, so she went away. He got a girl by the name of Bessie to pose for him. By the time that he finished the picture he went blind. Bessie did not like Dick, so she scraped the picture until nothing was left to the form. One of his friends told him about what Bessie had done. This grieved him very much. Mazie came to take care of him and they were married. Dick soon died of a broken heart. I am quite sure that the Tribunites would like this story very much. Rosalind Queen 149 Heckman St., S. E. ROBERT IS A SEA SCOUT OF TROOP 500 Dear Editor: In an article appearing in your paper last week there was a mistake which our scout troop would like to have you correct. You had Robert Best as belonging to Troop 507, and I am actually in Troop 500 of the Sea Scouts. Your correction of this error would certainly be appreciated. Yours respectfully, Robert Best CHINESE PROVERBS It is better to have virtue with want and ignominy, than weeth and honor without virtue. A scholar's mind should be set on the search for truth, and he should not be ashamed of poor clothes or of plain or even of insufficient food. The young child ought to be obedient at home, modest from home, attentive, faithful, full of benevolence, spending spare time mostly upon poetry, music, and deportment. Mabel R. Bolden (15) --- 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 shlander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such shlander. 4. I will 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. By Doris Alexander What a dreary day for me! The clouds were hanging low in the sky, and it looked as though a storm were blowing up. Soon I noticed little drops of rain alighting on the window; then it began to wet the streets. Soon it had increased so that there were not more than five or six people to be seen on the streets. Walking into another room, I looked out of the window and perceived a line of crowded street cars. The window panes were full of rain on the outside, and on the inside they were covered with sweat, so that it was impossible for the people in them to see the streets that they were passing. Suddenly there was a loud clap of thunder, after which the rain came down in torrents. The wind blew the pouring rain into every corner and direction. Birds had fallen and drowned from exhaustion. Tired of looking at this, I went to get a book to read, but I could not find it. Unfortunately, I had loaned it to a friend. The rain stopped my going after it, I had to settle down to look out of the window again, which was very disagreeable—therefore, the day was a very dreary one for me. 1338 Wallach Pl., N.W.

(Age 13) "Tis a great thing to be praised by your friends—ah, 'tis a great thing! And when you have gained this praise—this great thing, you can truly look upon the world with a proud and beaming eye. But this much sought-after praise cannot be easily won unless you strive with strength of will and persevering faith. The laurels of victory have been won—been won by an individual in our midst. The city has focused its approving smile on him. My subject has proven that in his hour of victory, he has not forgotten those who lent their shoulders to the wheel—the wheel that turned and took him up to the crowning peak of popularity and reward. He is worthy of his reward and we are proud of him. I sneak of Cyprian Haitman. Haitman is a member of Troop 500 of the Colored Sea Scout Troop. He received a Scout Gold Medal of Honor. This medal is awarded for bravery and is given each year to only one of the hundred thousand scouts in the country. He was honored for the rescue of three colored children, from a collapsing house in southeast Washington during the tornado, last November. Haitman is 16-years-old and lives at 234 Thirteenth street, southeast. And in our hour of praise, we must not forget one who has not yet quite reached the pinnacle of such wide recognition. I speak of Paul Weakley, a Washington schoolboy, formerly of the famous Whitman Sisters' team which appeared at the Howard Theatre recently. He is now appearing all this week at the Lincoln Theatre. He is a student at Shaw Junior High. 25c E, Z. Tablets Free with Nutraven DO YOU Know--- LEARN A WORD ```markdown ``` TWO HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS HOWARD BILL (Continued from page 1) was seized by force and brought unwillingly to a strange country, where for generations he was the slave of the white man, and where, as a race, he has since been compelled to eke out a meager and precarious existence. "Moreover, financial aid has been and still is extended by the Federal Government to the so-called land-grant colleges of the various states. While it is true that Negroes may be admitted to these colleges, the conditions of admission are very much restricted, and generally it may be said that these colleges are not at all available to the Negro, except for agricultural and industrial education. "This is particularly so in the professional medical schools, so that the only class A school in America for training colored doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, aside from Meharry College, at Nashville, is Howard university, it being the only place where complete clinical work can be secured by the colored student. Strong Reason "There is furthermore, a strong practical reason why a school like Howard university should be maintained in the District of Columbia. The Freedmen's Hospital was authorized by Congress in 1904, and was built upon land owned by Howard university. The university generously leased the land to the Federal Government for 99 years, at $1 a year, with a privilege of renewal for a like period. "The existence of this hospital so near to the medical school of Howard university affords the students of the university an opportunity which exists nowhere else in this country to acquire the clinical instruction which is necessary to complete each student's medical course. On the other hand, this opportunity exists for white students in every state of the Union. "In addition to the great importance to the country of having an institution capable of developing trained leaders for the colored race in all walks of life, the urgent necessity of making possible a supply of properly trained physicians of that race for the protection of the health of all our people, white as well as black, must be plain to every fair-minded American citizen."

The question involved, the minority report says, is the establishment of an unsound paternalistic governmental policy of "sustaining one university for one race by Federal funds, while the hundreds and thousands of schools for that race and all other races are left to state, county, or municipal support, or to private philanthropy." Such a policy is declared to be unfair, unwise and unjust. Tuskegee Institute, Hampton Institute, Wilberforce university, Fisk university, Southern university, Straight college, Clark university and Spellman seminary are pointed to as institutions meeting the demands for the education of the Negro without Federal aid. Howard Wants $390,000 "The demand of Howard for this year is $390,000. Hardly a member of the House but can think of some worthy struggling college back in his home state that would be relieved of an unspeakable burden, and immensely promoted in usefulness by one gift of that amount. Then shall we go on from year to year making these large donations to one university for Negroes in the city of Washington while the constituents of our home schools pay the taxes and struggle on in poverty with their own institutions? "Some members of this House have expressed a hesitancy as to their vote on this bill because of the answer they may have to make to their Negro voters back home. It might be well for some to consider the answer to be made to their white constituents who are struggling so hard to maintain institutions for the education of their own young people. Negroes Prefer White "The plea is made that Howard is a necessity for the purpose of preparing physicians, dentists, etc., for the service of the Negro race. In a very large part of the South that is not a necessity because the white physicians and dentists do practice for the Negroes, and the Negroes seem to prefer them. "But finally, if Howard must be supported for any reason, we submit that it should be done with District funds, just as other cities all over the nation give large funds for great institutions of learning, because of the advantages material and otherwise which such an institution brings to the town in which it is located." REV.W.H. BROOKS SPEAKS ON FREDERICK DOUGLASS By Laura Jean Murray An interesting and inspiring program was rendered Tuesday morning, February 14, at Dunbar High School, in commemoration of the birthday of Frederick Douglass. Mrs. A. J. Cooper presided, and Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered the principal address. Rev. Brooks' talk was made more vivid by the fact that he was once a slave and could recall the suffering endured by the slaves. He stressed the fact that Mr. Douglass is one of the most outstanding figures of our race. "Mr. Douglass' spotless career in life should be an inspiration to the youth of today," declared Rev. Brooks during the course of his address. MALACHI BRANCH SICK Malachi Branch, of 738 Lamont street, has been sick at his home for several days.

Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentaly struck a middle aged woman. Dr, J. C. Delano, (The old Indian Medicine Man) was called in to dress the wound and fcund that the patient was suffering from a fractured skull and concussion of the brain, Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured, but her hair over the bruiced spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor ques- tioned her as to what it was that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was, that she had only been using the’ medicine prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its con- nections with the roots of the hair. And after experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when mac- erated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure cocoanut oil and pine tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. ‘After finding that the experi- ment had proved successful in tinety-nine out of one hundred eases, Dr. Delano placed his prepa- ration on the market under the name of Dr. Delano’s Coco-Tar Hair Grower. And from that day until the present, the sale of Dr. Delano’s Coco-Tar Hair Grower has been of Phenomenal and unin- terrupted suecess. In Dr. Delano's research, he found that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live. Dr, Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is su- perior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this pa- per who will send in the coupon be- low.

TWO MIRACLES OF POWER (Read Mark 4:35-41; 5:15-19) GOLDEN TEXT: "What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" Mark 4:41. The Thought of the Lesson In today's lesson Jesus is pictured in a dual demonstration of His power—His power over the natural world and over morbid disease. The first of these demonstrations follows close upon the strenuous activities cited in last Sunday's lesson in which Jesus so effectively pictured the growth of the Kingdom of God. After this day of constant preaching the physical strength of Jesus was much depleted and He naturally desired to rest. It was no doubt in order to get this much needed rest that He took ship and set out for the other side of the Sea of Galilee. No sooner had the tired Savior gotten aboard ship than did he recline upon a pillow to rest where he soon went sound asleep. While He slept and the disciples rowed for the other side nature bestired herself into a mighty storm, rocking the boat with savage fury and endangering the lives of those on board. In spite of all the efforts put forth by the experienced seamen, Peter, James, and John, the boat continued to rock and slowly to year old son of Rev. H. J. Booker, furnished the music on the pipe organ of the church. A reception followed the program. TO PRESENT COMMUNITY BAND The Sunday school of St. Luke's P. E. Church through the courtesy of Professor James E. Miller, the director, presents the Community Civic Band in sacred concert Sunday evening, February 19, at 6 p.m. in the church parish hall, Fifteenth street, northwest.

M. C. A. on Monday evening, February 13. These classes will continue through Friday, March 16, the hours being from 7 to 9 p.m. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university, delivered the opening address. There is no registration charge. NORTH CAROLINEAN TO SPEAK AT HOWARD Rev. James C. Taylor, pastor of Moore's Chapel A. M. E. Church, Salisbury, N.C., will be the speaker at the regular Sunday religious service at Howard University the coming Sunday morning. The service will be held in the Rankin Chapel and the public is invited. REV. CUNNINGHAM TO PREACH AT WARRENTON Rev. John Cunningham, of this city, will fill the pulpit at the First Baptist Church, Warrenton, Va., the coming Sunday. Rev. C. P. Harris is the pastor of this church. THE TWO BAPTIST CONVENTIONS TO UNITE The General Baptist Convention Executive Board held its monthly meeting at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Tuesday, February 14, and accepted a communication from the Mt. Bethel State Convention. After some discussion they voted unanimously to hold joint meetings of the two boards to consider the plans which are presented. Rev. W. H. Jernagin is president of the General Baptist Convention, and Rev. A. J. Tyler is president of the Mt. Bethel State Convention. Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, president of the Washington Seminary reported in enrollment of sixty members. The Preacher of the Hour at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church 3rd and I Streets, N.W. in a great Union Revival SUNDAY, Feb. 19 to March 2 A revival chorus of 50 voices will lead the singing Dr. E. L. HARRISON of Houston, Tex., one of the greatest Gospel Preachers in the country, will preach rightly. Everybody Invited. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Pastor n. 4 p.m. Li fill with water until the sinking point was almost reached. Jesus continued to sleep, but was awakened by the disciples who excitedly told Him of their plight. Jesus responded to their cry and with His voice cowered the wind and the waters into silence and lamb-like calm. Freed from their danger and yet awed by the sight of the child-like obedience of nature to the voice of the Master, the disciples "feared exceedingly and said to one another, "What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" The second demonstration of Christ's power presented in this lesson is something of a repetition of such demonstrations already studied during the quarter. This is a demonstration of His power over morbid disease such as that studied in the lesson on "Jesus and the Sick." In both cases Jesus exhibited His superiority over Satanic power by ejecting demons from persons possessed. In today's lesson an extreme case of demoniac possession is cured. So definite and drastic was this cure that those beholding the cured man were unable to believe their own eyes when they saw him "sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind." By stilling both the outward storm of nature and the inward storm of morbid disease which had all but wrecked a human life and soul, Jesus, in this lesson, shows that the agencies of both nature and of grace are in His hands. ELK DRILL TEAM OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY The fourth anniversary services of the drill team of Morning Star Lodge No. 9, held at the Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church, on Sunday evening, February 12, was a success. The church was filled to the doors and standing room only was available.

AIRY BAPTIST The pastor preached Sunday morning from the subject, "Whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth." The church was crowded and the mixed chorus sang at the close of the services, at which time one member was added to the church. Mrs. M. M.

AN EXPRESSION OF STRONG FAITH IN GOD By Rev. Jas. A. L. Washington "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." Job 13:15. These are the words of Job that remarkable biblical character whose life of patience and faith in God should inspire every one who knoweth God and serveth Him. His life's story shows how busy Satan is in his efforts to discredit and destroy God's servants. It further shows that the adversary cannot go any further than he is permitted by God, our heavenly Father. Job is described as a perfect and an upright man, one that feared God and eschewed evil. He was also very wealthy, so much so that he was rated as the greatest of all the men of the East. The great possessions of this man of God caused Satan to challenge God by asking the question, "doth Job serve thee for nought?" He also claimed that God had placed a hedge around him in the riches which Job possessed, further stating that if these were removed that Job would curse God to His face. In accepting the challenge God gave Satan permission to test Job out. He also set Satan's bounds by saying, "all that he hath is in thy power, only upon himself put not forth thine hands," that is, you can remove this hedge but spare his life and I will prove to you that you do not know what you are talking about. Then Satan went to work on Job, and OI what a test! How painful must have been the ordeal through which he went, both physical and mental. His years of accumulated wealth swept away, cattle destroyed, houses demolished, children slain, wife who should have sympathized with him and comforted him, who evidently disregarded her vow to take him for better or for worse. Like many who marry for money instead of for love when she beheld his poverty and agony she drifted into infidelity, and advised him to curse God and die. Not only did Job lose all of his earthly possessions but he was afflicted with sores from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. He had lost all except his character, the testimony of his conscience and his hope in God, and they tried to rend this from him. During the experience and trial of this man of God his pretended APOSTOLIC OVER-COMING HOLY CHURCH OF GOD The Department of Commerce announces that, according to the returns received: there were in the United States 16 churches of the Apostolic Over-Coming Holy Church of God in 1926, with 1,047 members. Of the 16 churches reporting, 13 were located in the state of Alabama. This denomination was not reported in 1916 and therefore no comparative figures. The total expenditures, as reported by the 16 churches, amounted to $17,198, including $15,000 for current expenses and improvements, and $2,188 for benevolences, missions, etc. The value of church edifices (including furniture and equipment), as reported by 10 churches was $16,950. TO PRESENT TRI-ARTIST RECITAL A tri-artist recital, presenting Charlotte Wallace Murray, contralto of New York, C. Summer Wormley, baritone, and Estelle Etelka Pinkney, soprano, will be presented by The Friends of Music on Tuesday evening, March 27, at 8:15, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth steets, northwest. The recital is being given for the benefit of the rebuilding fund of the church. Mrs. Rosetta Orme Robinson os chairman of the sponsoring committee, and Professor John R. Hawkins, is treasurer. PEOPLES CONGREGATIONAL Rev. A. F. Elms, pastor of the Peoples Congregational Church, will have for his subject the morning hour next Sunday "The Open Gate'. "Are the teachings of Jesus up to date!" will be the subject discussed by the Y.P.C.E. Society at 6:30 p.m. Boys and Girls Night will be observed at 8 p.m. The Busy Bees, a juvenile club of the church will render an unusual and attractive program. TO INSTALL CONVENTION OFFICERS At a meeting of the executive board of the Union Baptist of the District and Vicinity Convention at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church on February 2, it was decided to set apart Wednesday, February 22 as the date for the installation of the officers of the convention. The installation services will be held at the Providence Baptist Church, M street, between $4\frac{1}{2}$ and Sixth streets, southwest, at 8 p.m. Dr. Aquila Sayles is pastor of the church and president-elect of the convention. The installation sermon will be preached by Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. friends added to his misery by intimating that these calamities and afflictions were a reaping process; that he, Job, had sinned and was now paying the penalty. It was during a reply to a pretended friend, Zophar, the Naamathite, that Job exclaimed in the language of the text, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." This is indeed a strong expression of faith in God. We should all labor to come up to it. We must be well pleased with Him as a friend even when He seems to come forth against us as an enemy; we must believe that all shall work for good to us even when all seems to make against us. Job was thoroughly tested and tried out, yet he held on to God's unchanging hand with an unfaltering trust. He depended on the performance of the promise when all the way leading to it seemed shut up. We are taught to persevere in the way of duty though it cost all that is dear—even life itself. We must rejoice in God when we have nothing else to rejoice in and cleave to him although we cannot for the present need comfort in Him. Job was conscious that he had walked uprightly before God and having an assured belief of his faithfulness and mercy, would confide in him as his salvation even though he slew him. Job, and every true and tried believer, looks to the crucial test, the dying hour which is the inevitable, the time when we must derive from the great fountainhead, living comforts. Let us trust God, whatever may betide. Let atheists and skeptics and higher critics and modernists rise up all around us; let them discredit the miracles of the Bible and deny the diety of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection and what not—but let us who have been born anew and who are in this race to go all the way, contend for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints. Trust Him all the way. Pray for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe, that will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe. Let us trust Him as the me Trust Him as the days go by, Trust in Him whatever befall, Trust in Jesus that is all, Trust in Him while life shall last, Trust in Him till earth is past, Till within the Jasper Wall- Trust in Jesus that is all. HOUSTON C. TEACHER TO SPEAK AT UNION REVIVAL Dr. E. L.

THE SPORT REVIEW Armstrong Takes Opening Game of High School Series Community Trims Carlisles---H.U. Stops Two Tough Ones ```markdown ``` Sam's Script's This article is written solely for the benefit of the athletes of tomorrow, but if you happen to be interested in the present local basketball situation, your attention is most highly appreciated. As for a fore-runner, I might state that the World's Champion Original Celtics were organized 15 years ago from a group of boys who frequented the Hudson Guild Settlement House, New York City. Although only two of them, John Whitty, manager, and Pete Barry, star guard, of the original five remain, it was not until the team as an amateur one achieved its ambition that the members became divided. To the Coming Athletes Future local athletes should profit by the serious mistake of their predecessors. Instead of learning the various athletic games in groups and then going out into the field of sports singly, the young stars of tomorrow will, if they can "look and learn," stay together and do Washington some good. One of the foremost examples of what could have been done, but failed because of the lack of "stick-a-tiveness" on the part of the individuals, is presented in the local basketball situation. The leading basketball players of Washington were developed among groups which gathered at one or two athletic centers. The Young Men's Christian Association and the Howard Playground were two of those centers. Looking over the large field of stellar court performers we can see that in most cases those players spent their days of development in one or the other of those environs. The Davis brothers, Slim Thomas, Brother Gray, and Eugene Hopkins are leaders among a host of athletes who graduated from the outdoor court in the playground at Fourth and W streets. The Y. M. C. A., on the other hand, boasts of the turning out of such quint material as Sou Turner, Willie Hope, Van Harris, the Coates brothers, Ted Thompson, the Trigg brothers, Jimmie Lee, Herman Givens, Joe Suter, Tommie Jackson, Zig Johnson, Neagie Ellis, Slim Henderson, Blip Hundley, Pete Johnson, Stretch Timmons and Mike Jones of the present day headliners. Burrell Kenner, Charlie Neale, Dick Graves, Bennie Hill, also the late Ralph Tibbs and Mose Morris, all of the old guard are also among those who finished at the Y gym. Now it can be very easy seen that had these men continued giving their talent to some one team representative of their community, it could not be long ere that team would rise to fame as one of the best moulded machines in the East. Of course, I do not mean for a moment, to advise that school and college teams be abandoned or ignored in the future, because the fellows whom I have named, who are connected with a school or college team are expanding educationally, and the field of athletics is one of the many fields benefitted by contact with the institution of learning. However, I do want to call your attention to the way the other fellows, who are not students, have separated from one another, and how because of it Washington is suffering in not having advanced in the matter of basketball representation. We have three leading teams—independent of the schools—the Carlisles, the Elks, and the Community, each speaking figuratively, trying to "cut the other's throat." There is no co-operating among them, and though the managers try hard and harder to conceal it, they are antagonistic to each other. We have a big triumvirate in which A will blaspheme B to C, C will condemn A to B and B will criticize C to A. This should not be. Some will contend, after reading my article that keen rivalry is an asset to the sport. True enough, my friends, but only for a while. The public inevitably tires of witnessing three third-class teams battle among themselves for supremacy—of the third class. Some day a howl will be put up that these might-be-called "chump teams" should stop operating; that a first-class team ought to represent Washington, a team which could compare favorably with the good teams of the country. Then the organization of life-long playmates will rise to assume the responsibility of representing the town on a basis of honest-to-goodness "class." When that day arrives it will be a glorious one for the Capital. Draw your own conclusion in regard to one good basketball team BALTO. ATHENIANS TAKE LISTLESS CONTEST FROM ELKS A poor exhibition of basketball it was when the Washington Columbia Elks hooked up with and lost to the Athenians from Baltimore at the Colonnade last Friday night. The score was 28-9. Three field goals and an equal number of foul baskets were all the local clan could rake, scrape, borrow or find for their 9 points. The "Warriors of Athens" on the other hand literally had a field day. Witnessing the mix-up was a hostile "Fish day" crowd. Hoots and cat-calls rent the air from the opening whistle to the curtain signal, and the locals were the targets. Jeering played the lead in the cheering section. The visitors displayed a most unusual passing attack which looked better than it really was in the face of the Elks' off night. There was no question about it, the antered crew was far from being "ready." Slim Thomas and Archie Berry, two of the most deadly shots the purple and white crew boasts found no little difficulty locating the loop while Willie Hope, the cunning guard, was also unable to cage the sphere. The fact that so few points were scored from scrimmage, in itself, testifies that something was wrong. A combination with such performers as Hope, Thomas, Berry, Suter, Jackson, Washington and the rest could be held to 3 counters is above the anticipations of any adversary. The Greeks, on the other hand, worked hard collectively. No one player outshone the other four and with such harmony the result was telling. CRACK BORDENTOWN 5 HERE TONIGHT The Y. M. C. A. tonight will be the scene of a red-hot, jip-and-tuck, fight to the finish tussle, if what the game between the Community Yellowjackets and the crack Bordentown Military Training School team promises to be comes to a head. The local crowd, sore because of the 25-23 loss they suffered at the hands of these same opponents last month in New Jersey, will take the floor with blood in their eyes. Nothing but a sound licking, they feel, will put the chesty invaders where they belong. The Cadets will present a strong line-up featuring Stretch Russ, rangy 6-foot forward. It was the play of this lad that turned the Community boys homeward before and that he will bear watching is far beyond a question. MORGAN AND HOWARD TO PLAY IN BALTIMORE MONDAY Baltto, Md.,—Coach Charlie Drew and his crack Morgan College Bear will play hosts to the strong Howard Bisons at Richmond Market Armony, here Monday night. This will be the second meeting between these two rivals, the first resulting in a 32-29 verdict for the Howardites on their home floor, January 15. SEMS LICK BLUEFIELD 37-21 ROANOKE, Va.—Virginia Seminary's basketeers, with Slim Henderson and Ed Davis in the starring role, took the Bluefield College quint into tow here last Thursday night by a 37-21 count. The game was played before a large crowd at the City Auditorium and was called the "basketball classic of the South." The two lads from the Capital kept up a continuous march from one end of the long court to the other. Henderson, by virtue of his 19 points, led his captain in points scored, but the floor work of the latter could not be easily excelled. if it were not for the petty jealousies and cut-throat methods of the three third-raters now operating. It is true that when one team attempts to do this sort of thing it faces a serious handicap. To continue intact it must work hard against the tempting offers of so-called professional teams which are always sent out to prey on young organizations. The offers are of money, and are made in an attempt to obtain the services of the stars of the young teams. To date these efforts have in some cases been successful and in others vain. It will be a difficult task, but when the youngsters realize what a loss they suffer in the long run, the day of the "sapsucker" will be over. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor Many and varied have been the praises sung, loud has been the acclamation of various "Black Menaces." Much has been said and done to bring to the mind's eye Negro fighters who have risen to places of distinction in the ring game. The title "Black Menace" had its inception, I believe, in an article written by W. O. McGeechan (white), of the New York Herald-Tribune sometime ago. It referred to colored fighters since the days of Molleneaux early in the nineteenth century to the advent of George Godfrey. The article was written to show that always there was a Negro menacing the holders of the world boxing crowns. Since that writing, sports writers the country over, have carried stories on their favorite "Black Menaces." The most widely referred to among them are George Godfrey and Bob Lawson. Of course there are others—but listen, folks. I rise to nominate Bruce Flowers. Now, while I am not as well acquainted with the activities among the gentlemen of the fistic sphere as a great many of my colleagues, take my word for it, here is our most dependable piece of fighting hones. Referred to as "The second Joe Gans," Bruce is a fighter who can and will hold his own with anything short of a tiger, provided of course, it makes the 135-pound limit and dons the regulation mitt. Let's take a look at the lad. He was born and reared in New Rochelle, New York, where Negroes, regardless of sex, are fighters—for reference see Kip Rhinelander. His first job was as a plumber's assistant. (The plumber's assistant is the boy who carts the tools.) Graduating from the plumbing business, Bruce took up the duties of an iceman. Constant muscular development resulting from his early labors has given Flowers an ability to punch and punch hard with either or both hands. He possesses a right-hand punch which he uses in a sort of overhand swing. When it lands, folks, they tell me it carries much the same result as being crowned by half of a Ford axle. Flowers is certainly a scrapper, my good people, if he can obtain a draw in a bout with Lope Tenorio (which he did on January 27, in New York). Tenorio is a good little fighter himself, but what makes him more dangerous than anything else, is the fact that he is managed by a Rickard lieutenant, which means oh so much in New York. When he beat Honeyboy Finnegan in Boston last week, Flowers earned the right to meet Sammy Mandell, the lightweight champion. Finnegan defeated Chick Suggs for the featherweight title on November 15, 1926. He also holds decisions over Sacco and Tod Morgan. The white boy is said by Arthur Duffey, of the Boston Post to be "game as the proverbial pebble and on the eve of the fight in the best condition of his life"—and Bruce beat him. Bruce Flowers is fast, shifty, clever, a pancher and modest. I rise to nominate a new "Black Menace." Black and White Checks Subdued by Yellowjackets Bruce Flowers Wins From Honey Boy Finnegan A well-oiled Community machine, with Soup Turner as its central cog, took the measure of Conway's Carlisle tossers in one of the best exhibitions of the court pastime that has been seen on Capital City floors this season. The final whistle blew on a 36-25 count. The game, delayed nearly two years and heralded over two months, lived up to every expectation as to its quality. The 300 or more spectators, who turned out to witness the long sought clash in spite of the inclement weather, left the Colonnade jubilant over and well satisfied with the exhibition. Even the staunchest Carlisle supporter had no complaint in regard to the class of game they had just observed. The game started with a seemingly impossible hook shot from long range by the spectacular Ev. Davis, Carlisle captain. This lead, however, was shortlived when Davis' thrilling two-pointer was duplicated by the even more sensational Soup Turner. From that point to the close of the first half the teams battled fairly evenly, each feeling the other out. There was very little scoring in this period, so close was the guarding of the opposing clans. Davis and Smith by eluding their guards put the Carlisles ahead. The half-time whistle found Conway's team leading 16-11. Returning after the rest period the Signpainters held the lead; largely through the stellar work BOSTON, Mass.—Bruce Flowers, sensational lightweight fighter gained the judges' decision over Dick "Honeyboy" Finnegan in their 10-round battle at the Argonne A. C., here last Thursday night. Entering the ring highly respected, but the underdog nevertheless, the Negro exhibited a determination to stop the chesty and highly touted Celt from Worchester, Mass. Flowers weighed in at 134% and Finnegan exactly one pound less. The white fighter had a shade the best of the going in the early of their captain and Lefty Smith, to within 10 minutes of game termination. Community hopes began to dwindle, and when Zig Johnson, star Yellowjacket guard, was disqualified on personal fouls, even the most optimistic Community fan became doubtful. With 10 minutes to go, however, the young Orange and Black sensations launched a relentless attack which resulted in a barrage of baskets and anawed the Check lead under. So fast were 2-pointers racked by the now thoroughly aggravated Yellowjackets that spectators arising from their seats to cheer the caging of one shot, remained out of them to applaud the recording of another. The Community lads, now confident, were not to be stopped, and though this realization must have come to the Black and White team, it never ceased fighting. Even at the sound of the game's end the Conway clan was in possession of the sphere attempting to cage it.

With little or no fight remaining in Finnegan, the Negro showed an attack that kept the Celts' followers ever afraid lest the feet of their idol should slip from under him. Though the decision of the judges was received with some little complaint from some of Finnegan's supporters, it was plainly evident that Flower's fast finish completely whitewashed any doubts as to the Negro's superiority.

ORANGE AND BLUE BOYS WIN INITIAL TILT FROM DUNBAR What is believed to be a record for the use of players in a single high school championship basketball game was set when 22 Armstrong Tech players participated in the defeat of the Dunbar quint on the Armstrong court yesterday. The score was 22-8. Much to the consternation of Dunbar supporters, Coach I. N. Miller kept up a steady stream of incoming substitutes during the latter part of the second half. More than four distinct teams were used by the Tech mentor, and the opening game of the series went to the P Streeters by a large margin. A colorful crowd, representing the student bodies, alumni, and faculties of the two institutions, as well as a large turn-out of outsiders packed the gymnasium to its capacity. It was absolutely the largest crowd to have witnessed a game on the Armstrong floor in five years. The first half scoring was low, the whistle blowing on a 7-4 Armstrong lead. The Poets jumped into the van and led for the greater part of the half, but with about 7 minutes to play, White, Tech forward, overcame the Dunbar advantage single-handed. With his team trailing 4-1, the Orange and Blue player recorded two field goals with a free toss sandwiched between to give him a 6-4 advantage. Returning after the rest period, the Techites registered at will, and before the continuous insertion of shock troops, the Poets were powerless. The players were: Armstrong—Greenfield, Cawthorne, Christian, Jones, Morris, White, Lancaster, Graham, Thorne, Dabney Merriweather, Brooks, Poulson, Johnson, Gray, Wallace, Lee, Corbin Henderson, King, Suter and Thomas. Dunbar—Syphax, Jackson, Tate, Amos, Brown and Smith. BLUEFIELD BEATEN BY BISONS The fast Bluefield College basketball team facing a stubborn Bison fell before a last minute rally of the locals in the Howard University gymnasium last Saturday night. The score was 32-29. Captain Louie Coates, Bill Carpenter and Jerome Woods led a bloodthirsty squad of Howardites on a rampage which overcame a Bluefield lead and gave more than 500 representatives of the Blue and White student body something to yell for. These three lads, keeping ever fresh the memory of the stinging football defeat suffered by their colleagues of the gridiron at the hands of these same upstarts from the mountains, launched a wild drive which netted 30 points between them. In this manner these Bisons accounted for more points than the entire visiting aggregation and thus it was that a Bluefield lead, established early in the game, was overcome. The invaders displayed fast short passing attack which for the most part dazzled the local clan. The Burrmen, however, never quitting achieved a noteworthy victory by their dominating coolness, which never left them despite the alien lead. In the warm-up affair the Howard Freshhes contributed another victory to their long and growing list by nosing out Coach Perkins' Dunbar High School tossers. The score was 16-13.

The score was 25-24. Lefty Smith of the Comets, and Josh Barnes of the clothiers stood out as the game's luminaries. Overconfidence in the face of a determined Comet attack appeared to be the undoing of the Kendrick- HOWARD BEATS MORRIS BROWN OUTFIT Before an unusually large school night crowd, the Morris Brown University basketball team only once defeated, fell victim to the Howard University quintet, Monday, February 13, on the local's court, to the tune of 35 to 29. The game started with Bradley, Morris Brown's triple threat man sending a two-pointer through the nets. The Bisons tightened their defense and a little later Carpenter, Bradley's opponent at center, started the scoring for his team by caging one of his famous left hooks. By clever passing and shooting, the Bisons eased into a lead in the first quarter. This lead, though threatened many times was never relinquished, the score at the half being 20-10. The second period found the Georgians awakening to their task. After scarcely ten minutes of play successive long and short shots by Roberts and McLenore, respectively, brought them within 4 points of the Howardites. The Purple and Black machine in its desire to overhaul the Bisons eased up on its defense. Howard's many chances, made possible by this laxity of the visitors were made g od of. Billy Carpenter was the "Big Bertha" of the Bison team while Woods' floor game was par excellence. Even though Carpenter luminated as a star, unnecessary dribbles by Johnson and him marred the perfection of Coach Burr's team play. VA. SEMINARY LOOMS AS COURT TITLE CONTENDERS BY W. C. Underdown LYNCHBURG, Va.—With only seven men on the squad yet, boasting one of the strongest quints in the history of the institution, the Virginia Seminary basketball team is making a strong bid for the Collegiate title. Coach Hurt's charges have not only defeated the best teams in the C. I. A. A., of which they are members, but they have taken charge of some of the foremost college teams in the country. The Virginians boast of victories over Lincoln, Hampton, Morris Brown, Virginia State, Bluefield, Claflin and Morehouse. With most of the formidable opponents out of the way the Seminary quint is preparing for the first real test of its mettle when it meets the flashing Morgan College five here on February 14, "Lanky" Jones, and his colorful array of players, Joom as a menace to the winning streak of the Virginians. Coach Hurt has built up a strong short passing game around Davis and Henderson and the Seminary clan are highly confident of victory. "Slim" Henderson, Seminary's star center has amassed a total of 156 points so far this season and has made himself an idol in southern basketball circles. "Lanky," the highly touted center of the Methodists is recognized as the greatest center in colored circles and an interesting duel is expected when these two rivals meet. 'SUNNY JIM' WILLIAMS, MID DLEWEIGHT, RECALLED FROM AUSTRALIA NEW YORK CITY.—Walk Miller, the manager of the late Tiger Flowers is attempting to make another world champion. He states, "Sunny Jim" Williams, the sensational colored middle and light heavyweight, has just returned to the U. S. A. After a two-year trip to Australia. During his stay on the other side of the world Williams knocked out Harry Collins, middleweight, and Tommy Uren, light heavyweight champions of Australia. He twice defeated Len Johnson, British Empire champion, who was imported from England in an attempt to stop the progress of this sensational American fighter. Walk Miller stated: "I have always considered "Sunny Jim" on a par with the late colorful and picturesque Tiger Flowers, and he was always a better puncher than the sensational Fighting Deacon. It was due to this fact that I sent Williams to Australia where he completely cleaned up all opposition in all classes. "Since the untimely and unfortunate death of the deacon I have recalled Williams and am now just beginning a campaign against the best of the middle and light heavyweights and am confident that Sunny Jim will set such a pace that the champions in both these classes will be forced to meet him within the year. "Williams is a gentleman in every sense of the word, much on the order of his late beloved stable-mate, Tiger Flowers, a clean liver, modest, and a great showman, I can safely assert that he will never commit an act that would be unsponsmanlike. He is aggressive and a ferocious foeman when in action." Miller is trying to sign Williams with Courney, McVey, Shade, Mickey Walker, DeVos, Latzo, Lomski, Scozza, Ross, Wiegant, Slattery, Sekera, McTigue or Loughran.

COMING TO YOU AT OUR REGULAR PRICES PHILA., Feb. 11.—The Eastern League moguls held their first session since the close of the past season at the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. In addition to President Ike Nutter and Secretary-Treasurer Ed. Bolden, the following clubs were represented: Cuban Stars, Alejandro Pompez; Baltimore Black Sox, George Rossitor; Brooklyn Royal Giants, Nathaniel C. Strong; Hilldale Club, Charlie Freeman; Bacharach Giants; Tom Jackson. Colonel Strothers, the portly owner of the Harrisburg Giants was conspicuous by his absence. Ike Nutter, the Atlantic City attorney, who guided the destinies of the loop during the past season was re-elected for a term of another year. Ed. Bolden, who holds the dual role of Secretary-Treasurer was also re-elected for the ensuing year. West to Attend At the meeting Ike Nutter handed out the information that in accord with Judge Hueston of the Western League, the Negro Na- Along with the story of the outcome of the Carlisle-Community game last Tuesday comes the announcement that the young Orange and Black quint has signed an agreement to meet the strong Washington Elk basketball team. Henry Hill and the Community management went into a conference Sunday at the Colonnade and the outcome was a cotract for a series of games between these teams, the first to be played next Friday night. Community Ahead Last year when Sunday basketball was promising to develop into one of the city's most popular pastimes, these same two teams held a series. The Elks—then the Alco A. C.-met the fast coming young Yellowjackets and were stung with successive defeats. The scores were 36-27 and 24-21. Hard to Believe Many of the wide-eyed "dyed-in-the-wool" fans found the report of that series hard to believe and not until summer did it dawn on some of the Purple and White followers that the trick had really been turned. The young upstarts The Colesville Tigers baseball team, managed by William Braxton was officially presented with the Washington Tribune trophy for the championship of the 1927 Washington Tribune Baseball League. William O. Walker, editor of the Tribune made the presentation, which occurred between the halves of the Community-Carlisle basketball game at the Colonnade, Tuesday. The Colesville clan, commonly called, "Jungle Cats," finished ahead of 23 teams which together formed the largest baseball circuit ever organized in this city. They took the championship in a playoff game with the Elite Panthers, who finished as runners-up. The trophy was an 11-inch gold plated baseball statute, engraved on a nickle-finished shield. tional League owners would arrive at Philadelphia, Monday, February 20, prepared to enter into joint session the following morning. The place will be the Christian Street Y. M. C. A. and the opening session will convene at 11 a.m. Those who are expected to accompany Judge Hueston are Secretary Quincy Gilmore and W. Wilkinson of Kansas City; Dr. B. G. Keys and L. A. Brown of St. Louis; Steve Pierce of Detroit; W. R. Trimble of Chicago; Abel Holine of the Western Cuban Stars; S. M. Terrell of the Cleveland Stars, as well as representatives from the Birmingham Black Barons and the Memphis Reds. The Eastern club owners talked over the schedule possibilities for the coming season and very likely will discard the split schedule that was put into effect the past season. The final decision on the number of games to be played for the season was withheld, but the general opinion was that if six clubs compose the circuit, at least a 30- game schedule would be drawn up. Quint To Meet unity Team bearing the Community colors had turned back the chesty District Champs. With Slim Thomas, whose work with the Yellowjackets last season was an outstanding factor in the success of the team, now with the Elks, the antlered squad is greatly strengthened. Besides this lanky 6-footer, the horny horde can boast of the return of Archie Berry, the marked improvement of Tommy Jackson, and the arrival of Willie Hope. This last lad has arrived. Having been denied a chance to display his real ability until the current season Hope has been slow coming. Playing regularly now, however, has turned Hope into a finished product. Community A Plugger Community has a willing bunch of hard working youngsters. They believe nothing can stop them as long as they are trying, and with the determination they possess of do or die the lads who sport the Orange and Black promise trouble for any opponent. The Yellow-jackets combination is "a plugger." PETERSBURG, Va. — The Virginia State College enjoyed two basketball victories in one night in their gym here last Monday night. The girls' team defeated the girls of Brick Junior College and their varsity also finished ahead of the North Carolina varsity. The respective scores were 23-16 and 42-22. DUNBAR DEFEATS NORMAL Mickey Syphax starred as the Dunbar High School basketball team emerged on the long end of a 28-15 score in its game with the Miner Normal School quint last Monday afternoon in the Poets' gym.

SEVEN ```markdown ``` THEATRICAL HOWARD THEATRE EIGHT BIG HOLIDAY WEEK OFFERING AT THE LINCOLN Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart" appears in "My Best Girl," a romance of the 5. and 10 cent stores which will appear at the Lincoln Theatre for three days, beginning Sunday, February 19, until Tuesday, February 21. As a busy little stock girl in the basement of the store, juggling boxes and cartons and carrying armfuls of pots and pans to the counters upstairs, Miss Pickford has a role that is appealing in its sympathy and delightful in it humor. In both story and treatment, the new production is a distinct departure from any of the star's former offerings. The many charming love scenes add a note or romance that has heretofore been undeveloped, and with the assistance of a notable supporting cast, the comedy features of the film have been strongly accentuated. Charles Rogers, the sensational young lead in "Fascinating Youth" and "Wings" is the leading man. For Wednesday and Thursday the screen attraction will be Peter B. Kyne's masterful story of the California big tree country, "The Valley of the Giants" with Milton Sills in the starring role. Ably supporting Mr. Sills will be seen Doris Kenyon, Arthur Stone and George Fawcett. On Friday and Saturday will be seen "The Unknown Cavalier." Ken Maynard's second super-Western has everything to be desired, that is the verdict of Broadway critics who reviewed the cowboy star's latest production. On Saturday only will be shown the Universal chapter play "The Vanishing Rider" with William Desmond. At 9 p.m. the opportunity contest will be held at which time three cash prizes will be awarded the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience. As an added attraction for the entire holiday week the management has secured the service of the well known composer and song writer Gilbert C. Tennant, who will present his latest composition entitled "I'll Be There Beside You When the Rose Leaves Fall." Special stage and lighting effects have been arranged for this number which will greatly add to its beauty and pr sentation. D. E. DALEY'S LATEST PRODUCTION "HERE WE ARE" AT THE HOWARD for the week beginning Monday, naturee, February 20, the stage attraction at the Howard Theatre will be one of the most gorgeous 1 productions of all times in Ed. E. Daley's entire new show "Here We Are," featuring the well known and ever liked Izzy Ringgold, who is ably assisted by a wonderful cast including Grace Rector, Viola McCoy, Brown and Jones, Kitty Abluechehe, and Washington's own dancing demons—Buster Newman and Spencer Barnes. In addition to this large and well-balanced cast will also be seen a chorus of twelve wonderful dancing girls whose grace and form are good. Ed. E. Daley, the producer, is a man who is noted for his many novelty presentations in his productions, and it is pleasing to remember one of the most gorgeous spectacles ever witnessed by a theatre audience was conceived and brought here by Mr. Daley in his last production "Rarin" To Go. "In Here We Are" he has many In "Here We Are" he has many original novelties. For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen on the screen "Sailor Izzy Murphy" featuring George Jessell, the well known Broadway comedian. This face is acclaimed as the most uproariously funny film of this year. It recounts the adventures of a passionate perfumery salesman who decorates the bottles of his special brand with the face of a fair naiden whose father the youngster tries to sell his famous recipe. For Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen "Silk Stockings," a light story of a young married couple, featuring Laura La Plante. Opposite to her plays Jon Harron with whom she is always having petty quarrels. Their advisor is a judge, a friend of the family, to whom they both fly with their troubles. The supporting cast of "Silk Stockings" embraces many players noted for their good acting, including Otis Harlan. Burr McIntosh and William Austin. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble will be held. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office at the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show. "PATENT LEATHER KID" COMING The management of the Lincoln Theatre announces that it has secured the showing in the near future, the greatest of all pictures since the "Big Parade." It is Richard Barthelmess' latest starring vehicle, "The Patent Leather Kid." No greater love story has ever been written than "The Patent Leather Kid." It is a story of love that endures all hard knocks of a tough fighting kid who came back from war; of love that great armies could not even move; of love that came through; when everything else failed; of love that carried unfortunate souls into a heaven of bliss. It is truly a miracle of love. "The Patent Leather Kid" is a picture so great—a characterization so inspired, and carries with it a message so mighty that it is a picture you are not apt to forget. "THE LAST WALTZ" AND "LOVES OF CARMEN" AT THE REPUBLIC "The Last Waltz" an UFA production will be the attraction at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, February 19, 20, 21. Here is a story that is well told and done with extreme grace and smoothness. The story is a Balkan romance. The Princess Elena has been betrothed to the Grand Duke Alexis by the queen mother. Shortly afterward, the princess arrives near their castle, incognito. Her friend and companion, Vera, poses as the princess, and many complications arise. Dimitri who is the aide to the Duke falls in love with Vera and subsequently challenges the Duke to a duel. The Duke has Dimitri sentenced to death. On his last night to live, he sees the princess. One more hour of life. One more hour of love. One more waltz. "The Last Waltz" is another "Merry Widow." The devil was bored and he summoned his henchmen. "Pour for me," he said, "into one bold, the heart of a child, the body of a wanton and the soul of a woman. Let us see what will happen. The result was Carmen, the wild rose of old Seville. "The Loves of Carmen" will be the attraction at the Republic on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 22, 23, 24 and 25. Dolores Del Rio and Victor McLaglen, the stars of "What Price Glory" have the leading roles in the "Loves of Carmen." McLaglen has the role of Escamill, the greatest tooreader in all Spain. To him no woman is worth anything—the treats them all with contempt. In a cafe in Seville he meets Carmen—played by Dolores Del Rio—a cigarette girl, with whom Don Jose is in love, and disregards her efforts to interest him. His indifference intrigues her, and she makes a resolve to win him. On George Washington's Birthday, Wednesday, February 22, the Republic will open at 12 o'clock noon. There will be three talent shows on Saturday at 3:40, 6:50 and 9:05. Change of time of talent is due to length of "Loves of Carmen." MAYOR JAMES WALKER AT THEATRE OPENING NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 16.

Red Cross Kidney Plaster Acts Almost Like Magic You can banish almost instantly the sharp, shooting pains and dull aches of Sciatics, Neuralgia and other Rheumatic troubles with Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. The moment this famous, old reliable plaster is applied over the aching part it brings relief—warms, soothes and quiets the throbbing nerves and drives away the pain and misery almost at once. You get lasting relief also because the medication in a Red Cross Kidney Plaster is continually being absorbed through the skin into the affected parts as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drug stores. Are you suffering from the misery of a lame, aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms, soothes and supports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight through the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns, almost immediately. And you get lasting relief, too, for the medication is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. Try a Red Cross Kidney Plaster tonight and prove how quickly it drives away the misery of a weak back. Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's, the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red gannel back. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 Mrs. Diana Brunson Brooks is district organizer.
