Colored Schools Snubbed, Withdraw From National Oratorical Contest on Constitution FIRST in Advertising and Circulation INVESTIGATION OF CONDITIONS IN HAITI FAVORED A resolution directing the foreign relations committee to investigate the American occupation of Haiti was introduced in the Senate last Thursday by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. This resolution would authorize the foreign relations committee "to make such investigations as are necessary to ascertain the reason for the seizure and continued occupation of Haiti by the United States, the reasons why the constitution of Haiti was superseded, the election suppressed, the rights of the Haitian people interfered with, and the guaranties of liberty, freedom of speech and of the press under constitution impaired." The foreign relations committee would be authorized also "to inquire into the present conditions in Haiti and report its findings to the Senate, together with such measures as shall permit the Haitian people to set up and establish a government of their own choice and assume control of the same an' their civil and political affairs." 10 Withdrawal Soldiers Legislation to be proposed by the committee as a result of its investigation would also provide "for the withdrawal from Haiti of all military forces of the United States and all officers—military, naval, and otherwise, except only regularly accredited diplomatic representatives or consular agents as may be agreed upon by the Government of the United States and the Government of the Haitian Republic." The preamble to the resolution recites incidents from the landing of the United States Marines and their seizure of public buildings and important military positions in July, 1915, to date. Over 2,500 Haitians have been killed in conflict with the armed forces of the United States, it is charged in the resolution. Senator King himself attempted to enter Haiti from Santo Domingo last summer to make a personal investigation of conditions in the Haitian Republic, but Louis Borno, president of Haiti, would not permit him to visit Haiti. Senator King upon his return here charged that Borno was simply a puppet carrying out the orders of the State Department and General Russell, the American high commissioner. Senator King served notice that he will discuss his resolution at an early date. WASHINGTONIAN FINISHES PHILA. HIGH WITH HONORS PHILA. A., Pa. — Outstanding among 168 graduates of the South Broad Street High School was Charles Sumner Lee, son of the late Henry and Mrs. Mabelle Weaver-Lee, formerly of Washington, D.C. Mr. Lee stood second in the scholastic ratings of the class of which only five were colored. Completing his twelve years of elementary and secondary schools training in nine and one half years, Mr. Lee was the first student, colored or white, to have established such a record in this city. He is 15 years old. Young Lee was awarded a scholarship to Temple University, this city, where he will pursue a course in medicine. The boy is a member of one of Washington's leading families. His parents are products of the Washington public schools. His father finished the Armstrong High School there, and his mother completed courses at the M Street High and Miner Normal Schools. Lindsey Muse, for 60 years a messenger in the Navy Department, Washington, and a founder of the Nineteenth Street Ba., list Church, there, is a grandparent of Mr. Lee. His aunt, Mrs. Lydia Weaver-Wyche, was the first clerk to have ever served at the Nineteenth Street Church. Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, returned to Washington last Friday for a two-day stay in connection with political matters in his state.

Freeman, Grand Secretary, this week. The contract for the completion of the structure has been let to the G. G. Loehler Construction Co., Inc. It was recorded at the office of the Recorder of Deeds, Thursday, March 1. The unfinished structure has been awaiting the resumption of work for over two years. In August, 1926, a contract was let to S. J. Soloman to complete the building, but he was unable to go through with the work. With the awarding of the new contract, the officials of the Most Worshiful Acacia Grand Lodge, F. A. A. Masons, are expecting the building to be completed in about 250 working days. The building will be completed according to the original plans, said Mr. Freeman. DOCTOR'S AUTO STRIKES DOWN 6-YEAR-OLD DOCTOR'S AUTO STRIKES DOWN 6-YEAR-OLD Running from behind a parked car, seven-year-old John Baker (white), 1351 Sixth street, northwest, crossed directly into the path of the automobile owned and operated by Dr. Albert Ridgely, prominent Negro physician, with offices at 950 S street, northwest, Monday afternoon. As a result the lad was struck and knocked down. He sustained a fractured skull and two broken arms. The boy, according to the story told by Dr. Ridgely, was evidently on his way to attend the afternoon session of a neighboring school, when near the corner of P street he ran, unseen from behind automobiles parked along the Sixth street boulevard, and was unavoidably hit by his Buick sedan. Young Baker was rushed to Young Emergency Hospital in the physician's car, and found to be in a serious state. The brakes of the Ridgely car were tested and found to be in perfect condition. The foot brake required by law to bring the car to a standstill within 50 feet stopped the auto 30 feet from the spot where they were applied. The hand brake, allowed 75 feet for halting the car, brought it to a stop at 40 feet. Dr. Ridgely was released on his own recognizance pending the outcome of the boy's injuries. EAST CENTER CITIZENS ASS'N NEWLY FORMED EAST CENTER CITIZENS ASS'N NEWLY FORMED The East Center Citizens' Association was organized at the Dunbar High School last Wednesday night, February 29.

TIBBS TEACHER 30 YRS SUCCUMBS Miss Gertrude E. Tibbs, prominent local public school teacher for nearly 30 years, and a well known church and fraternal worker died at her residence 924 T street, northwest, last Saturday night. Born in Montclair, N. J., Miss Tibbs received her early education in the public schools of this city. She became a teacher in the local school system and at the time of her death was a faculty member of excellent rating at the Sumner School. Miss Tibbs was a member of the Niseteenth Street Baptist Church, where during her life in the District she worked diligently for the betterment of the institution. Miss Tibbs was also a member of Prince Hall Chapter 5. Order of Eastern Star; of Queen of Sheba Household of Ruth. No. 29, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows; and of the Teachers Benefit and Annuity Association. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2:30 oclock from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Surviving her are two sisters, M. Violet and Mrs. Julia T. Young, tw. brothers, Charles H. and Richard T. Tibbs. OUEEN MARIE, OF FRANCE, MOTHER OF BLACK BABY OUEEN MARIE, OF FRANCE, MOTHER OF BLACK BABY NEW YORK, N.Y.-Writing in the March number of "The Messenger," well-known Negro magazine published in New York City, J. A. Rogers, noted Negro journalist, now residing in Europe, reveals the fact that Queen Marie Theresa, the consort of King Louis XIV of France, became the mother of a black girl baby. According to Rogers, it seems that an African prince made the queen a present of a little black dwarf to whom she became greatly attached. He was always with her, playing on the rich rugs and even sitting on her lap. Soon the other ladies of the French court began to get little black dwarfs, and in a short time they became the vogue. This is the reason why nearly all of the paintings of the noble ladies of that period always show little Negroes in attendance. Not long after the little black dwarf became a part of the queen's household, that lady found herself about to become a mother. When the baby, a girl, was born, it was jet black, and everybody agreed that the little dwarf had scared the queen and caused her to have a black child. At any rate, the child was baptized Louise-Marie, after the king and queen, and sent to a convent to be brought up. There she remained until she died, known as Sister Louise-Marie, and visited occasionally by members of the royal family. Rogers concludes: "So far as the matter of color is concerned, The Black Nun might have been a mystery in those days but in this hard-boiled age we are inclined to be a bit more skeptical." DR. CURTIS TALKS TO MEDS Dr. A. M. Curtis spoke before the Medico-Chirurgical Society at the Mu-So-Lit club last Thursday evening. His subject was "Acute Surgical Abdomen." Besides the members of the society, many seniors in the Howard university medical school heard his address. The discussion, which followed, was led by Dr. Willard Lane. The president, Dr. Lawrence Jackson, presided. COLE BLEASE AMENDS HIS BILL Runs True to Form Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, last Thursday offered an amendment to his bill requiring separate accommodations for white and colored passengers on street cars in the District of Columbian. The proposed amendment provides that in case where a white person desires to ride with a Negro, and the Negro does not object, the white person upon request may be allowed by the person in charge of the car to ride with the Negro. The Blease separate street car bill has been unfavorably reported to the Senate by the District committee. It would require all street railway and interurban companies operating in the District of Columbia to provide separate but equal accommodations for white and colored passengers. COP SUSPENDED ON CHARGE OF BOOTLEGGER Motorcycle Policeman Edward F. Taylor (white), attached to the Traffic Bureau, was suspicious Tuesday on a charge of "hijacking." The suspension followed a conference of police officials at the office of Major Edwin B. Hesse. Taylor is alleged to have been implicated in the stopping of a liquor car, reported to have been operated by two Negroes, on Bladensburg Road a few days before Christmas. Another white man, believed to have been a confederate of Taylor, halted the automobile, claiming authority, ordered the occupants out and took possession of it, liquor and all. The entire cargo amounted to $4,000. Inspector Albert Headley, who for two months has been investigating the case, reported his findings in the conference. Inspector Henry G. Pratt, and Ernest W. Brown were also in the conference. The Police Department has been keeping the story of the alleged hijacking quiet and no details have as yet been ascertained. Those present at the conference declined to divulge what action was taken. The names of the Negroes are not known. TRIES TO SAVE WOMAN HE SHOT BY GIVING BLOOD TRIES TO SAVE WOMAN HE SHOT BY GIVING BLOOD Failing in an effort to save the life of the woman he is alleged to have shot, Charence Mack was ordered held for the action of the grand jury at an inquest yesterday into the death of Effie Smith. Miss Smith died at Emergency Hospital Wednesday morning at 3:15, as the result of the gun-shot wound she received Monday afternoon during what is said to have been a tussle at 111 Fourand-a-Half street, s. w. A quart of blood given by Mack in a transfusion, failed to save her. According to testimony at the inquest Mack was attempting to wrest the gun from Miss Smith when it was discharged. The scuffle is said to have occurred during an argument, the nature of which was not revealed. Miss Smith was taken in a passing auto to the hospital. When taken into custody in front of the house by fourth precinct police, the man is said to have first denied the shooting, but later he admitted that he had hold of the gun when it was accidently fired. According to police, Mack upon being arrested attempted to break away, and it was necessary for officer L. C. Wise, who made the arrest to use his baton to maintain his charge of the prisoner. ST. AUGUSTINE'S BUYS SITE FOR PAROCHIAL SCH'L ST. AUGUSTINE'S BUYS SITE FOR PAROCHIAL SCH'L Through its pastor, Rev, Father Alonza J. Olds, the St. Augustine's Catholic Church, purchased Saturday the site of land now occupied by the Washington Home for Children, at 1715 Fifteenth Street, n.w. The purchase price was $100,000. The property was acquired for the new home of St. Augustine's Parochial School. The plot includes 150 feet of frontage on Fifteenth street, between R and S streets. It runs back from Fifteenth to Johnson streets. The Washington Home for Children, at present standing on the premises, is a home for white orphan children. The building is a memorial and has been standing in its present location for many years. The St. Augustine's Church pastor has been dickering for a favorable location for the church school sometime, because of the admitted inadequateness of the present school building at 1117 Fifteenth street. The deal was made through Claude Warren, (white) a local real estate dealer and a friend of Father Olds. Negotiations were completed and the contract was signed through the offices of the Washington Loan and Trust Company. A down payment was made and terms for installments were agreed upon. While the amount of the initial payment was not disclosed, it was learned that the second note for $10,000 is to be paid by June first. The remainder of the money is to be paid with the conveying of the title to the property, March 1, 1929. Following the transfer of the property in 1929 the building now occupying the premises is to be im- (Continued on page 2) HOWARD UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATIONS OKED The House last Tuesday agreed to the conference report on the Interior Department appropriation bill including the Senate amendment giving Howard university the sum of $390,000 for maintenance and improvements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929. The vote on the Howard university items was 259 to 93. Party and sectional lines were broken. Republicans and Democrats, northerners and southerners voting in favor of the Senate amendment. NEGROES LEAVE FARMS By Allen B. Doggett, Jr. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Feb. 25—The Negro is fast deserting the farm for town and industrial centers. Georgia, for instance, has lost one-third of her Negro farmers in the census period 1920-25, and is still losing them. One out of every eight in Arkansas has gone, and in Alabama one out of ten have left the plows to rust. It is well perhaps that many of these men and their families have abandoned leaky shacks, small terraced farms, and the eternal debt of the tenant system. To many departure means education for their children, opportunity, escape from terrorism, security, freedom. The uphill fight to win a living from cotton in the older cotton states is slowly but surely being given up in favor of the level lands of Texas and the newer soil and machinery of Oklahoma. North Carolina is the only Eastern State, where cotton is an important crop, showing an increase in the number of Negro farmers. EXERCISES HELD AT MILI TARY ROAD SCHOOL Exercises were held at the Military Road School, Tuesday afternoon, February 21, to commemorate the memory of Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Two plays were given by the second and fifth grades of the school. Other numbers consisted on songs, and sayings by, and incidents in the lives of, these men. JOHN W. LEWIS PULLS LAST SHIFT UNDER SIEGE OF PARALYSIS OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. JOHN W. LEWIS LAST SHIFT SIEGE OF John Whitelaw Lewis died sud- denly at 10:15 o'clock last Mon- day night at Freedmen's Hospital. The man who came to Washington as a hod carrier pulled his last eight-hour shift under a seige of paralysis as the leading Negro builder of the city. Stricken at 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. eLwis succumbed eight hours later. The paralytic attack came over Mr. Lewis while he was talking with George W. Taylor in the latter's jewelry store at 1025 U street northwest. He was rushed to the hospital in its ambulance. The death of Mr. Lewis followed his sixty-seventh birth anniversary by two days. He was born February 25, 1861, in Caroline County, Va. At the age of 23, Mr. Lewis came to Washington, with his wife, Mrs. Amy Lewis, with two sons, John H. and Emory R. Lewis. He found employment as a hod-carrier, working for white contractors, among which was the Harry Wardman Construction Co. While a laborer, Mr. Lewis conceived the idea of organizing the Laborers and Mechanics Realty Co., which organization in 1900 built and still owns the building in which the apartment house, 2002 Eleventh street northwest, and the Industrial Cafe, are now situated. On October 11, 1909, Mr. Lewis completed the Hiawatha Theater, the first Negro-owned movie house in the country. Following the erection of the theater, he organized the Industrial Savings Bank, at 2004, the site of the present Industrial Cafe. The Industrial Savings Bank with over $500,000 resources is now the largest Negro Bank in Washington. The progress of the bank can be attributed to the efforts of Mr. Lewis and William A. Bowie, formerly a barber. Mr. Lewis founded and constructed, in 1920, the Whitaleah Hotel, which house was given his second name. Mr. Lewis was its first president. It was the first and only hotel built, owned and operated exclusively by Negroes in the city. In 1923 Mr. Lewis erected the Lewis Building on the northeast corner of Eleventh and U streets northwest. At the time of his death Mr. Lewis was connected with the Capitol View Really Co., a new concern with more than 150 houses already constructed in suburban Washington. Funeral services were held at one o'clock today at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, where Mr. Lewis was a charter member. H. W.

SCOTT ASKS PUBLIC HEARING ON BILL DR. SCOTT ASKS PUBLIC HEARING ON BILL Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, was asked Inst Saturday by Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, to have the House District committee to order public hearings on his bill to transfer the office of the recorder of deeds to the government of the District of Columbia. In his letter to Representative Zihlman, Dr. Scott expressed opposition to the bill on the ground that the transfer of the office to the District government would lessen the possibilities for employment of colored persons in the Government service. The office of the recorder of deeds, Dr. Scott st.a.ed, is the only one in the District of Columbia in which colored people have "even the accounts of the office of the ing recognition and fairness in the way of Government employment." Dr. Scott particularly finds objectionable provisions in the billputting all positions except, that of recorder under civil service. He also objects to the section of the bill providing for the auditing of the accounts of the o ce of the recorder of deeds by the auditor for the District of Columbia. These accounts are now audited by the Comptroller of the Treasury. Mr. Zihlman's Bill Mr. Zihlman introduced his bill the next day after Arthur G.

(Tom) Jackson was too filled with emotion, Tuesday to make a speech of acceptance when on the occasion of his official retirement he was presented with a gold watch and pin. The presentation was made by Detective Sergeant Eugene Davis, of the automobile squad, on behalf of officials and plain-clothes men attached to the central office. Mr. Jackson was retired after 30 years of sleuthing. He holds the distinction of having arrested and aided in the conviction of more murderers than any other policeman in the history of the department. Remarks by Major Edwin B. Hesse described Mr. Jackson as a most capable individual in a fully capable bureau. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS EVENING STAR SLIGHTS BOTH PRINCIPALS The Dunbar and the Armstrong Technical High Schools have declined to participate in the National Oratorical Contest that is being conducted by 56 newspapers in various sections of the United States. The action of the Dunbar and Armstrong schools was taken as a result of alleged discrimination by the Evening Star (Washington, D. C.) that is sponsoring the contest in the District of Columbia, nearby Maryland and in Virginia. The faculty of the Dunbar High school voted Tuesday afternoon not to enter the contest this year. The Armstrong Technical high school faculty took similar action on Wednesday afternoon. Dissatisfaction first arose when it was learned that Randolph Leigh, who is in charge of the contest for the Evening Star, had held a conference with the principals of the five local white high schools and had not called in the principals of the two colored high schools. At a meeting of high school principals the question of the absence of the colored principals from the conference was raised. The white principals declared that they were surprised at the absence of the two colored principals from the conference. Walter L. Smith, principal of the Dunbar High school, appointed a committee consisting of Neval H. Thomas, William M. Brewer, Dr. Eva B. Dykes, Miss Juanita Howard and Miss Sadie Daniels, to look into the matter. In a meeting with this committee, Mr. Leigh is reported to have declared that it was not his intent to enter colored youth in competition with white. He is said to have raised the question of equality, asking the committee if they thought colored people were the equal of white. The race issue provoked a bitter discussion, in which Mr. Leigh is charged with having asserted that in 10,000 years Negroes had produced nothing to equal the smallest accomplishment of the white people. Leigh is said to have offered prizes totaling $150 as an inducement for Dunbar students to participate. The committee declined to consider his proposition. G.

In her petition, Mrs. Todd says that she was previously married to James Taylor, who left her in 1918. She met her sister-in-law, Mrs. Mattie Taylor Walker, in 1922, and she advised her that her first husband was dead. She married Todd on September 21, 1921. In 1923, she states, Curtis Lorton informed her that her husband was alive. Upon inquiry of friends in Atlantic City, she says, she verified this information. She immediately informed her second husband of this fact and stopped living with him. Mrs. Todd is represented by Attorney John H. Wilson. HON.

TEN Liberal Progressive Independent FACE THE FACTS Despite the cheer which comes to us from a recital of the few facts of our rise from a low estate to our present level of diversified occupations and thousands of comfortable homes, the masses of our people are the heavily laden, burden bearing, lower level occupation group of America. They are the last to be hired, first to be fired, and least to be considered in planning for any and every kind of work. They are the earliest to come on the job and the latest to leave it. They are the first to be engaged for the most revolting work and the last to be even thought of for the most exacting and honorable. They receive least as wages and are forced to pay most for what they consume both because they must buy in small quantities of the cheapest goods and under the pressure of necessity, with no time, training or opportunity to pick and choose. Forced by their low level incomes to live in cheap houses in neighborhoods which are exploited because of the general necessities of the occupants, they get few comforts or conveniences for their rents. Buying in corner stores where they carry weekly accounts, or where they buy by money's worth rather than by fractions of weight, they pay from 40 to 100 per cent more per unit for their food. Having little or no control over the locations of their school houses, they are ultimately forced to pay car fare not only for themselves in passing to and from their daily or occasional occupations, but they must pay twice daily for their children. With little confidence in each other by reason of constant suggestion of inferiority, and the absence of their own kind and color in high and responsible posts, the very people who receive and have least are least inclined to cooperate in the very manner in which they need each other's strength. It is up to the press to undertake the very work which the churches have been best prepared to do, but have not done as an organized body. We must labor to raise a peasantry to citizenship, purpose, opportunity and co-operative endeavor, while we ourselves work to keep alive. COWARDLY CRIMINALS No one may escape the humiliation which comes from the frequent crimes of purse snatching by men of color. They occur almost daily and their victims are usually women. Only the most profound contempt and sincere disgust can be directed towards such cowardly types of males. All too often, those who perpetrate such crimes, whine and cower when caught by another man. They are not genuine criminals, but they are weak willed fools who steal where they think there is the least reason to be afraid, and the greatest chance for immediate gain. The fact that the crimes are largely by colored men and against white women, serves to delay the era of good feeling between the races, and operates to fan suspicion against all people of color. We must find some means of arousing our own people to the fact that such cowardly criminals are among our worst enemies. They make lawlessness and mob attacks possible; they lower the wages of every other Negro by suggesting his dishonesty; they foster segregation by hinting that the presence of Negroes makes the neighborhood unsafe; they instill cation against us and fear in the minds of white women, and hatred in the hearts of white men, and they register an inferiority because such crimes have ever been committed by the lowest classes of every nation in the world. Society is concerned with such crimes by young men because they are the outcome of unemployment. When England forced out the yoemen by the change from small farms to sheep raising, her scaffolds and jails became crowded. Francois Villon wrote of the rattling, crow-picked bones of the gibbeted thieves in France.

The law must sentence the guilty purse snatcher to a long term of hard labor with penalties for failure to do his job, and some nominal pay for his performance. Such criminals need training in character and that can be given only by an indeterminate sentence at hard labor, subject to an occasional examination by one trained in mental conditions. THE SHOW GIRLS Now that Flo Ziegfield has announced that he is through with producing his annual musical comedies which flaunt and exploit sex, for the benefit of the hypocritical public, we find it timely to call attention to some conditions surrounding our own "show girls." Weekly issues of the largest newspapers and daily tabloids vie with each other in displaying as much of the show girl as the law will allow. The public generally applauds even while it sometimes gasps at the utter disregard of the conventions of dress displayed by the female who is earning her living by selling her ability and willingness to amuse and startle the public which nays. Photographers have shown themselves most ingenious in posing the show girls to display their most telling points and lines. But the man who has made millions by catering to the public's desire for sensation, says he will not lend himself to it for another season. As the desire for sensations has increased by what it has fed upon, our girls have been called in to add spice and variety to the program. Their more emotional natures provide more alluring curves while their skin colors produce a more pleasing illusion than the pink and white with which the majority of paying audiences are familiar. Condemnation of the show girl is common. That she is legitimate prey for the woman hunter has been a foregone conclusion. That our men, young and old, are adopting the same formula which has operated among the followers of the theatre before our girls entered upon their careers, is to be regretted. It is a fact, however, and we find among those who engage in show girl baiting, men of all stations in our racial life. The show girl is not regarded as an artist, but as "hustling" for a living. Many instances have come to our attention, where show girls have accepted invitations to supper after the performance, only to find themselves ushered into some strange place in a strange neighborhood from which self-respecting exit was as impossible as a self-respecting decision to remain. IMITATORS If there were among us as many imitators of Henry Ford as there are of Arthur Brisbane, author of "To-day," in the Hearst papers, we should soon earn the earth. If the Negro writers of bunk and pifle were as facile in writing corporation charters, scientific formulae and patent specifications, we should be able to give to our children that leisure for culture and study by which those same writers of ours set such store. The imitators of Brisbane give us their opinions, but to imitate Henry Ford would force them to dig up that most precious material of human progress, IDEAS. Our opinions bubble up continuously, but an idea is possible only through the expenditure of an effort of the mind that costs us our very life. Scientists have but recently announced that our expenditure in an act of will is followed by a rapid movement toward death. So careless of values are the hordes of imitators of Brisbane that they have overlooked that admonition which states: "Let him who would have life more abundantly, spend his life in service." By the refusal of our writers to spend their lives to produce IDEAS, their opinions become fritiless. Brisbane's "To-day" makes money; the columns of his imitators cost money to set them into type, and they leave us unfitted to work more effectively. One short paragraph by Brisbane on the satisfactoriness of the dining car service on a southern railroad, resulted in the expenditure of thousands of dollars to improve that service on KIDDIES' CORNER C.

JOHN'S FAVORITE JOKE Dear Editor: The Tribunites would perhaps like to send in some jokes. Here is my favorite one. Pvt. J. P. Jay marched up to his colonel and saluted. "I would like a leave of absence, sir." "What for?" queried the officer. "My wife wants me to help her move, sir." "I don't like to refuse you," said the colonel, "but I've just received a letter from your wife saying that she does not want you to come home because you're more bother than help." The soldier saluted and turned to go. At the door he stopped and remarked: "Colonel, there are two persons in this regiment who handle the truth loosely, and I'm one of them. I'm not married." THE REPORTER'S COLUMN By W. H. S. Y. M. C. A. Campaigner Our song is like that of the picturesque Volga Boatmen. They chant "Pull, boys, pull!" while we echo "Climb, Tribunites, climb!" The Tribunites are sticking together like the Three Musketeers "one for all, all for one." As has been shown by our articles for the last two weeks, some are well on the road to success. Some are Volga Boatmen chanting their song of courage. Ask Olga Vroman, a loyal Tribunite who helps support the pillars that uphold "The Kiddies' Corner." You ask why does the writer consider her an uplifter? Because she is doing splendid work toward raising the needed $20,500 for the Y.W.C.A. Business is a gigantic thing for a Tribuneite. But there is Joseph Winkfield who as a newsboy for the Washington Tribune has led in sales for a long while. If he can and does succeed at selling papers—surely he will succeed at some other thing later on in life. Let our motto be "Pull, boys, pull"—(and the girls may use it too)—shall we let "Climb, Tribunites, climb" drag in the dirt? The mire cliffs, and as it does so, we go down with it.

COOMES Dear Editor: In case some of the Tribunites want to know what becomes of worn-out paper money that is returned to the Treasury Department tell them that at one o'clock approximately one million dollars in worn out paper currency is put into the steel money macerators at the Treasury. Three keys are held by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Treasurer of the U.S. and the Comptroller of theCurrency, to as many patented locks which secure the lid of the machine. This trio, or their representatives, in company with a fourth representative of the people and the banks, personally unlock the macerators and place in them the condemned currency and securities. After this ceremony the lids are locked, water poured in the macerators and 150 knives set in motion which reduce the worn bills to a pulp. Gladys S.

Brisbane speaks from knowledge and experience. His opinions are backed by his knowledge of the motives which arouse others to action by the subtlety of suggestion. The many idle and forced vaporings of some of our writers who are his imitators are the outburst of passing emotions not yet filtered through the intellect or connected with the will to correct and evaluate what comes into their experience.

It was a wonderful sight. I suggest that if you want to see something that is real interesting that you visit it. You do not have to be a Catholic to be permitted to visit the many shrines. The thing that interested me most was the Catacombs. From the Catacombs you go into the Grotto of Bethlehem. The Grotto faithfully depicts the place of the Birth of Our Lord, as it is at the present day in Bethlehem. In the niche between the two stairways is a copy of the Altar of the Nativity, beneath which is seen a facsimile of the silver star which commemorates the spot where Christ was born in Bethlehem. To the right in a recess in the rock is the Place of the Manger, where the Divine Child was placed by His Virgin Mother on the First Christmas. The manger itself is not in Bethlehem, but in the Church of Mary in Rome. The Altar of the Magi, at the left, commemorates the Three Wise Men who knelt in adoration of the New Born King. The Monastery is open to visitors from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you go by trolley take Brookland car to Quincy street, northeast, and walk up Quincy street to Monastery. ARE YOU LUCKY THIS WEEK?

Watkins (15) By Dr. George M. Kober, (President of the Washington Tuberculosis Association.) A large army of trained tuberculosis fighters, which has come into existence in the United States in the past twenty years through the efforts of the National Tuberculosis Association and its numerous state, county and city tuberculosis associations, is about to start an in- A tensive campaign against the disease. During the coming month of March these workers plan to carry on the war against the white plague. The plan of this campaign is to try to educate the public by every known method of publicity as to the vital importance of discovering this disease in its early stages. "To procrastinate with tuberculosis is to gamble with death," is the strikingly true statement with which the association opens its official announcement of this "early diagnosis" campaign. "The hope ultimately of conquering this disease lies in our ability to take action promptly. This, in turn, depends upon efficiency in discovering all cases of tuberculosis before they have had opportunity to spread infection." In spite of the hammering of this idea in past years, most of the cases still reach the doctors and hospitals in such advanced stages of the disease that little can be done for the patients. A remarkable census of patients in tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals disclosed that only 16 per cent of the cases admitted were diagnosed in the early stage of the disease. The two outstanding aims of this campaign are: First, to focus the attention of the public on the well known danger signs of tuberculosis in the hope that more people will go to their doctors for examination before it is too late. Second, to stimulate renewed interest on the part of the medical profession in the means and methods of recognizing these early symptoms. Medical Profession Co-operating The campaign has been officially indorsed by the American Public Health Association at its annual meeting in Cincinnati last October, and the active co-operation of the American Medical Association is also promised through its official journal, "Hyggeia." Here in Washington the District of Columbia Medical Society is taking an active part in the campaign by arrangement with the Tuberculosis Association. At the regular meeting of the society Wednesday evening, February 29, Dr. W. D. Tewksbury, well known specialist in tuberculosis, delivered an address on early diagnosis. Similarly the subject will be presented by Dr. C. A. Tignor at the March meeting of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, March 22. Large quantities of posters, pamphlets, and other printed matter, motion picture films, and feature articles have been prepared for use of tuberculosis associations all over the country, constituting what is termed the ammunition train for this advancing army of tuberculosis soldiers.

Workers Shift From City to Find Work NEW YORK CITY—"At no time since 1823," says a recent bulletin of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, "has unemployment so greatly affected the country as at present. For Negro workers, who are frequently the first to be discharged, the situation has resulted in suffering and disproportionate number of appeals to relief agencies. Detroit appears to be the only exception of the large cities that reported improvement for January. One office in Cleveland was able to place only 186 Negro men and women out of a total of 2,177 applicants "The Department of Public Welfare of Philadelphia reported the most depressing period within the past ten years. New York where unemployment conditions have so greatly disturbed the whole state that the governor has asked the state labor commissioner for a report of conditions, is experiencing one of the most pronounced periods of unemployment it has known since 1921. Charitable organizations are receiving more calls from jobless people than at any time since the war. I nChicago the labor situation among Negroes was regarded during the month of January as 'quite critical', and unemployment mounted during the month." Restlessness of Negro Workers Restlessness of Negro Workers "From Los Angeles to New York and from Boston to Tampa reports show that the restlessness of Negro workers, who in vain attempt to find work, move from city to city, is one of the perplexing problems social agencies face. Through the middle west there is a continual movement between Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee. "Between Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus and Pittsburgh the restlessness is quite evident and in all parts of the south where there are more stable resources to support Negroes faced with long periods of unemployment there is also an unusually large number of incidents of wandering from place to place. Ameliorate Efforts "In Pine Bluff, Ark., a mass meeting was held. Emphasis was placed upon improving the occupational opportunities for Negroes. Appeals were made for a living wage, jobs as drivers, porters, etc., (which are now given to whites, were formerly given to Negroes), and for better pay for women workers who are so underpaid "that thy can not keep clean and decent." "The Y.W.C.A. of Indianapolis conducted a four day industrial institute to stimulate public thought on the matter of the low economic level of Negroes in that city. "The St. Louis Urban League carried on an intensive week's campaign when employers were interviewed, meetings were addressed and radio talks were delivered on ous public meetings and luncheons to tell of the danger of delay where certain surface symptoms are observed. For such meetings a motion picture is available entitled "Let Your Doctor Decide." It is expected that more than 10,000 billboards will carry large and small posters lithographed with a picture of a doctor examining the lungs of a patient or with the words in large letters: "You May Have Tuberculosis," under which runs the four danger signs, "Too Easily Tired," "Loss of Weight," "Indigestion," and "Cough That Hangs On."

"The occupational committee of the Cleveland Welfare League began to crystallize sentiment in favor of placing Negro workers with the public utilities. The New Jersey Urban League of Newark inspired the training of colored applicants for appointment as policemen, one of whom was called for service. "In Lansing, Mich. where conditions were reported at a standstill a group of Negroes appealed to the Community Welfare Fund to institute some organized effort that will bring to the attention of the public the failure of employers to hire Negroes. A group of colored workers in Harlem are seeking to organize a Negro Federation of Labor, hoping thereby to make demands for skilled jobs at a standard wage." Evidences of Progress The report further states that "In Akron, Ohio, Mayor G. Lloyd Weil appointed three colored girls to operate elevators at the Municipal Building, the first to be so employed. A Negro manager was appointed at the new Regal Theater in Chicago where the total number of colored people employed is said to exceed 100. In this city also stock girls entered a lop shop for the first time. "A report from the Tampa Urban League states that since Christmas more people have been placed in domestic service than in former months and the more encouraging fact is that there has been a slight increase in pay. "From Louisville, Ky., thirty waiters were sent to Florida. In Winston-Salem, N. C. building workers, particularly carpenters and bricklayers were employed in large numbers in January. It was reported that the American Federation of Labor is holding weekly meetings urging Negroes to join the union, and that the Reynolds Tobacco Factory is discharging those who join. The Los Angeles Urban League reported that their placements gained ten per cent during the month of January."

The Zihlman bill would place the office of the recorder of deeds under the jurisdiction of the District government. The recorder would still be appointed by the President, by and with the consent of the Senate. His term of office would be three years. At present the recorder serves at the pleasure of the President. There would still be two deputy recorders. All positions in the office of the recorder of deeds would be placed under the civil service. The recorder himself would be excepted from this provision. Preference in appointments would be given to bona fide residents of the District of Columbia. It is provided, however, that the President may cover into the classified service on the date the act would take effect all employees in the offices of the recorder of deeds whose salaries are paid from annual appropriations made by Congress.

Dear Sister: In a special meeting last night, View Point Chapter No. 117 expressed itself as unanimously in favor of expressing to you such word of condolence as may serve to help you in the trials which you have undergone. It is our earnest and sincere prayer that the great God of Mercy and kindness may bring to you the power to bear up under afflictions. That He may send to you an all-pervading peace.

Chas. P. Harris, B.D. GOLDEN TEXT: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15. The Thought of the Lesson Twelve is an interesting Biblical number. Jacob had twelve sons. Aaron's breastplate contained twelve stones. Moses sent twelve spies into Canaan. Twelve stones were taken out of the Jordan. Twelve oxen supported the brazen laver in the temple. The Heavenly Jerusalem has twelve foundations. The Celestial City has twelve gates. The twelve tribes of Israel were the beginning of the Old Testament Church, while twelve apostles, chosen and set apart by Jesus in today's lesson, were the beginning of the New Testament Church. The selection of the twelve apostles is one of the most outstanding features of the ministry of Christ, for it involved the outline of the world task to which he had set himself. It took place about midway his public ministry. By this time the tasks by which he found himself faced had grown to such proportions as to make physically impossible his personal attention to them. His unique and beneficient personality was being increasingly recognized, and he was being constantly thronged by the multitudes and called upon for relief by suf- church on Sunday, March 4, at 3:30 P.M. There will be a Men's Rally given at the Firebirds Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, March 7, at 8:00 o'clock. BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE NEWS Dr. E. L.

Carmel Baptist Church, at which the Houston preacher has been conducting a very successful revival for the past ten days. Mrs. Willis, a returned missionary from Africa, was also a visitor and speaker at the Ministers' Conference on last Monday. Mrs. Willis has worked for fourteen years in Africa. The students of the School of Religion of Howard University will conduct the conference worship on next Monday, March 5. BAPTIST COLLEGE LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN The Washington Baptist College has launched a campaign for the raising of funds with which to erect a much needed building in which to hold classes.

NEW YORK CHURCH BURNS PREMATURE MORTGAGE The Alvaskian Baptist Church in New York City recently made the final comment of its own. al manner on this new case was made in four-and-one-half years. It is said that not a single rally nor an entertainment of any kind has been given by the church in the interest of this gigantic obligation. The burning of the mortgage also marked the beginning of the twentieth year of the pastorate of Dr. A. Clayton Powell. ferers on every hand. Jesus recognized the human impossibility of his personal administration to these numerous and widely separated needs. The necessity for assistants who would carry forth His message and who could minister in His name was therefore apparent. Thus we find Jesus in today's lesson calling unto Himself twelve men to be His apostles, sending them forth to preach and delegating them power to heal the sick and to cast out devils. In order effectively to evangelize the world Jesus felt the necessity of not only calling and commissioning, but also of training the apostles in the knowledge and doctrines of His Kingdom. This training must consist not only of precept and example on the part of Christ, the teacher, but also of practical experience on the part of the apostles, the pupils. Hence the asplies were sent out by twos on a local and preliminary missionary journey to minister to the needs of sufferers and at the same time to gain that practical experience so invaluable to them after their Master's imminent death and ascension. Having called the twelve and bestowed upon them befitting power and given them proper instructions, Jesus sent them forth. Accepting their Master's appointment, bestowal of power and valuable instructions, the apostles "went out, and preached that men should repent." "And they cast out many devils and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them." THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Congressman William C. Hammer will speak at the Third Baptist Church at 8 p.m. Sunday. The day will be honored as the tenth anniversary of the pastor of the church. His topic at 11 a.m. will be "Behold the Man."

Prayer meeting will be held Tuesday at 8 p.m. PEOPLES CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH During the morning hour Sunday, Rev. A. F. Elmes, of the Peoples Congregational Church, will close the series of sermons on the "Open Gate." After the sermon communi- nion services will begin. At 6:30 p.m. the Y.P.C.A. society will discuss the subject, "What is it in Jesus that attracts young people?" SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor, Rev. R. D. Grymes, preached Sunday morning on the subject, "Following Christ and Catching Men." Four persons were added to the church. Miss Quarreels, contralto from New Jersey, rendered four selections.

The pastor will leave on March 5, for ten days to run a revival at the Morning Star Baptist Church in Baltimore.

EVENING STAR SLIGHTS BOTH PRINGIPALS (Continued from page 1) the Armstrong Technical High school, also appointed a committee to investigate the matter. The Armstrong committee consisted of Charles M. Thomas, Miss Elizabeth West, Miss Carrie Lee, Dr. H. L. Bailey and Mrs. Edith Howard. This committee took the view that it was anomalous to ask pupils to discuss the Constitution o the United States while being discriminated against. Last Tuesday afternoon the committees of the two schools held a joint meeting in the office of the principal of the Dunbar High school to hear a report by George Henry Murray, Armstrong Technical high school faculty member, who had personally taken the matter up with Theodore Noyes, editor of the Evening Star. Mr. Murray reported that Mr. Noyes claimed that he knew nothing concerning the situation and disclaimed any intent to afront the colored pupils by grouping the two colored high schools separately from the white high schools. Mr. Murry also the hope that the faculties of stated that Mr. Noyes expressed the two schools would take the plan of former years. Later in the day, Mr. Noyes asked Mr. Houston and Mr. Smith to call at his office. There he declared that his wish was to maintain peace and harmony between the races and to accord fair representation to the achievements of the colored people in the District of Columbia. He urged the principals to acquaint him of any discrimination and stated that he would see to it that it is corrected. The two colored high school principals were later informed that Mr. Leigh had given information regarding the contest to the principals of the white high schools which he had not given to them. Upon this information the faculties of the two schools voted not to participate in the contest this year. According to the plan of Mr. Leigh, the five white high schools were put in group A, the two colored high schools in group B and parochial and private schools in group C. In an interview, Mr. Leigh denied that there was any discrimination involved in this plan. He said that this plan had been adopted merely for administrative purposes. As outlined to a reporter, each group would select its best speakers to participate in the finals. The final contest will determine the representative of the District of Columbia in the National Confest. In the finals, Mr. Leigh said, colored and white students would compete with and against each other. The two colored high schools, he said, "have a certainty to be represented by two speakers in the finals, which will determine the representatives of the District of Columbia, nearby Maryland and Virginia in the National oratorical contest." Mr. Leigh contended that the plan adopted this year is in principle absolutely the same as former plans under which the two colored high schools have competed. SEEK TO ENJOIN LODGE A suit for an injunction was filed in the District Supreme Court Monday by the St. John's Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia, against Edmonia C. Pickett and Maud Wood, 2408 Shannon place, northwest; Susie Brent, 609 Florida avenue, northwest; Bertha McCall, 1743 Ninth street, northwest; Winnie Ford, 1604 New Jersey avenue, northwest, and Sarah Ross, 1304 D street, southwest. The plaintiff, a corporation, claims that it established in the District of Columbia a subordinate organization known as Adah Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, and a subordinate lodge known as Adah Chapter No. 1. The plaintiff charges that the defendants since August 1, 1927, have associated themselves together as Adah Chapter and are unlawfully using the name, signs, symbols, emblems, regalia and insignia of the subordinate lodge. The court is asked to enjoin the defendants. Edward Love is the most worthy grand master of the St. John Grand Lodge.

FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1928 THE FILM MAKER ADAMS' SONG ON WHITE ARTIST'S PROGRAM ZIGLATZKI INTRODUCES ADAMS' SONG TO NORTHERN AUDIENCE Miss Ethel Ziglatzki, soprano, a well known white artist in the state of Connecticut, introduced one of Wellington Adams' songs in a concert program given in Waterbury Conn., Thursday evening, February 23. In a letter to the composer the soloist wrote: "Needless to say every one liked your charming lullaby. They remarked how sweet its melody was, and my accompanist remarked, 'It surely was unique.' I shall try to use it at every opportunity." The Waterbury American Daily commented as follows: "The benefit concert given in Temple Hall last evening under the auspices of the International Sunshine Society by three artists was well attended and greatly enjoyed by all present. . . Miss Ziglatzki, who was the principal singer on the program, was in excellent voice. . . Her program presented a wide variety of songs. The last group was made up of Weaver's dainty 'Moon-Marketing', the prize lullaby, and 'Mammy Loves Her Lil' Black Child,' by Wellington Adams, Washington composer, which captured a prize in the 1927 Rodman Wanamaker composition contest. She sang this number by special permission." NATIONAL CIVIC FORUM AT COLONNAD The National Civic Forum will present an unusual program at the Lincoln Colonnade at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 4.

The little frock shown above would be charming in crepe de chine or georgette. The bindings, and long ties should match the embroidered rosebuds in color. The softly fluttering bertha which resembles the caps on sister Betty's dance frock would make Priscilla feel very grown up indeed. Other materials which suggest themselves for this little dress are flowered crepes and voiles bound with harmonizing colors. It will be noticed that Priscilla is smartly shod in perfectly plain black patent leather pumps with single straps and little flat heels.

The members all belong to the honor society of Dunbar all are on the general honor roll and each one is an expert rifleman. They are also members of the Regular Buddies Club. Honor Society News The Honor Society of Dunbar held an assembly the other day, at which they inducted four new members into the organization. The new members are Elsie Fletcher, Marion Jackson, Gladys Louis, and Dorothy Barnett. The occasion was also in celebration of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's birthday. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell gave the principal address. Benjamin Henly, president of the society, gave a brief remarks and recited a dialect poem by Dunbar. Artenia Gibson gave one of Dunbar's literary poems. William Cook rendered a vocal solo. Senior Debating Tryout. The Senior debating tryout was held last week and the following five were selected: Hildred Hildred Thomas, William Tinney, Charles Weir, Benjamin Henly, and Major Connick. From the last three, one will be eliminated. The topic of the tryout debate was "Resolved that—The United States Should Assume Responsibility for the Preservation' of Law and Order in the South and Central American Republics." 10 LIGHT, comfortable, gay, this coat it is useful anywhere when your fur coat is too heavy. And it is modern to the last degree. It may be shorter too, which gives it the ultimate swagger of the Spring mode.

(Copyright, 1923, by Butter- ick) ```markdown ``` George BASQUE ADDED TO GODFREY'S VICTIMS WRIGLEY FIELD, Los Angeles, Cal—Displaying a slashing attack and a hardy defense, George Godfrey, the Shadow of Leiperville, gained the decision over Pauline Uzeudun, Spanish champion in their 10-round bout here last Tuesday night. Though the conqueror of Harry Wills was in the pink of condition and enjoyed the support of the "wise birds" and their money, Godfrey pounded him at will, taking six and drawing two of the rounds. The Negro was slow starting, contenting himself with feeling his opponent out. It was these first two rounds which were considered even. The Basque had two good rounds, the sixth and seventh, in which he scored several solid smacks, but these body punches did not seem to phase Godfrey. Throughout the going the big Spaniard attempted to stop the colored champion. His every effort was bent toward the landing of a telling blow, but George could not be slowed. Though the highly-touted right hand of the Basque woodchopper connected with the Negro's middle portion time and again, its effect failed to appear the least bit damaging. The closing stanzas were marked by a swirling attack of Godfrey's rights and lefts to the alien's face and body, during which, it is believed, Paulino suffered the worst punishment of his heavyweight career. The generalship of the Negro was superb—so much so, that at times it seemed that he purposely ignored obvious openings in the woodchopper's guard. Godfrey weighed in at 136 1-2 and Paulino tipped the beams at 192 1-2. There were 40,000 people present. MORGAN VARSITY TEAM HAS During the last week the varsity basketball team played three games, winning all of them. On February 20 the boys met the Howard University Five in the Richmond Market Armory, score 10 to 27; on Wednesday, the 22nd, Morgan and Howard clashed for the second time in Orange, N.J., to play off tie games. Again Morgan was victor, 37 to 19. On Friday 24th, the team met the Elks' Big Five (Monumental Lodge No. 3) in Baltimore, Morgan winning the game 31 to 27. On March 9 Morgan and the strong Virginia Seminary and College of Lynchburg, Virginia, will meet on the court in Baltimore. The Virginia team is the only team standing in the way of another championship year for Morgan. The freshman team defeated the Howard University freshmen for the second time this season on February 20. On March 9 they will meet the Dumbar High School of Washington, D.C. CARLISLE - ELK SERIES SLATED FOR MONDAY The first game of the Carlisle-Elk championship basketball series will be played at the Colonnade, Monday night. While the Elks were favored to win, by virtue of their previous season's record, Conway's outfit threatens to prove no little trouble. With Lefty Smith at the top of his stride and the Hawkins brothers showing promise of reaching the zenith of their games, the Black and White Checks should loom as a thorn in the side of the antlered clan. The acquisition by the Elks, of Ev. Davis, has considerably strengthened them while the loss of this same stellar performer has hurt the Carlisle cause. COUNT'S TAKE TWO FROM ANACOSTIANS The fast traveling Comet A.C., a newly organized young quint, took the measure of the Anacostia A.C. basketball team Wednesday night on the latter's floor. The score was 36-28. Coates with 22 points led the Comet scorers. In the preliminary the Comet Juniors defeated the Anacostia youngsters 31-22. LE ROVERS BEAT ARROWS Barham, with 14 points led the way to victory when, last Thursday night, his team, the Le Rovers A. C. handed Pee Wee Covington's Arrows a 32-20 setback. The game was played in the Dunbar gym. Call Pot. 1918 for games with the winners. THE SPORT REVIEW WARWICKS ARE TRIMMED IN COLONNADE DEBUT The Warwick Collegians (white), had very little to show in their debut at the Colonnade, Wednesday night. They were handily defeated 47-19 by the fast Community Yellow Jackets. The game was exceptional in comparison to the calibre of the teams. The white boys showed evidence of their unfamiliarity with the zone style of defense and lightning-like offense of the Yellow-jackets. In the preliminary attraction the speedy Y.W.C.A. Girls' Quintet gave an exhibition of good court play. Though they were robbed of an opportunity to display their real class because of the inability to book a worthy opponent, the coy performers presented a neat brand of court play among themselves.

INITIAL GAME IN INTER- FRAT LEAGUE TOMORROW The 1928 season of the Inter-Fraternity Basketball League will get under way at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when the famous "Four Horsemen" of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity meets Omega Psi Phil's Delta Big 5 at the Colonnade. As is usually the case, a crowd of huge proportions is expected to turn out to witness the proceedings. Both teams have large followings and the contest, the first of the re-organized circuit should be a thriller from both the spectators' as well as the players' standpoints. After a year of inactivity as a league, the managers of Kappa, Omega and Phi Beta Sigma teams met and organized into a league. Last year, though each of the frats had teams, they operated independently. Kappa and Omega have already met once this year; that battle taking place on Christmas Day and resulting in a victory for the Kappas. The management of the Alpha Phi Alpha another frat team, did not enter its team in the loop. FOUR TEAMS SURVIVE SEMIFINAL ROUND OF AMATEUR BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AT BORDENTOWN SCHOOL BORDENTOWN, N.J.,—Newark, Orange, Bordentown and Atlantic City are still represented in the colored amateur basketball tournament of the Bordentown Manual Training-School as a result of the semi-final games played here Saturday night, February 25. A capacity crowd of 500 witnessed the game. In the junior contests, or 135-lb class, the Atlantic City Reserves overheated Trenton Community "Y" Cubs by a 23-13 score, and the Ironsides Cubs of Bordentown nosed out Student Council Juniors of Newark in a hair-raising battle which ended 20-18 after an extra time period. Both winning teams showed excellent team-work and passing which was unusual for junior teams, while personal fouls proved costly for both losers Favorites ran true to form in the two senior games when a powerful senior five of Student Council of Newark trampled over a crippled Rinky Dink outfit to the tune of 36-18, and when the Titan Bears of Orange outshot Trenton Community "Y" by a 49-29 count SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor Just barely over a year ago a manager of a Howard University football team arose from his seat on the platform in Rankin Memorial Chapel and in statesmanly voice concluded a speech, throughout which he waxed eloquent, with: "... For having given this wonderful institution the greatest Colored Team in the country, the members of the Howard Varsity wish to present you with this gold football, emblematic of our sincere appreciation of your most successful work. We are grateful as no multiplicity of words can express, and though Notre Dame has its Rockne, though Michigan has its Yost, we are content because Howard has its Watson." The speaker was John Elihu Cardwell, manager of the 1926 champion Howard eleven, and the occasion was the annual "Letter Day Assembly." The Bisons had just closed a remarkable season, during which they had won all of their games; being scored on but once. Louis L. Watson, the head coach, was at that time considered one of the greatest of modern geniuses in the field of physical education, and surely the peer of all Negro football coaches. He was likened to a Moses by even the teachers themselves. Professors—young and sprightly or medium and rounded or shrivelled and gray, it made no difference; their opinions of Watson were the same. The outside world was given to believe that Louis L. Watson would remain at Howard for no short length of time regardless of cost. He was there to stay. Nothing could induce the University to separate itself from this marvel man. That was then.—Now, under the same administration as was ad-administering when he was heralded as the greatest of the great, the President—who "would rather be a Baptist preacher in the bottoms of Mississippi" than to be president of Howard University while football is being played on the hill the way it has been played there since time immemorial—refuses to recommend a contract for Mr. Watson's retention as head football coach for three years. He will approve of keeping Mr. Watson for next year, the President declares, but not for a three-year term. Now while we have no conclusive proof as to the whys and wherefores of the presidential "coldshoulder" on a trio of years under the Watson regime by looking down deep into the mire of the football disturbance we may be able to uncover some sort of solution. The walk-out of the football players last year, following the refusal of free training table and quarters to the squad, resulted in the authorities drawing the burnt portion of the pudding. Neither the faculty which refused the doughnuts and coffee nor the players who looked for the necessary "vittles" could honestly be termed victorious. The boys, however, got a little the best of the argument. It was meant by the University officials that the gridders should pay for their griddles, but when war threatened, the alumni came forward in the role of the "dove of peace." They, it is said, promised to pay for the players' bill-of-fares and cushions. Ever since, it seems, Coach Watson has been blamed for the unruly actions of the players. Following the intervention of the alumni, the players returned to the squad and proceeded as they had in the past. They did not pay for the "eats" and "sheets." For all this, and because the developments did not fully favor the authorities, it appears that Mr. Watson was declared at fault. Having found this little "inside dope" buried deep in the slime of the football controversy, it isn't entirely our fault if we have a sneaking suspicion that Watson is being held in disfavor by the "powers that be." Mr. Watson, however, gentle readers, should not be criticised for what developed during the past Howard grid season. Mr. Watson was, proverbially speaking "between the devil and the deep blue sea." He is a member of the faculty, a member on the Board of Athletic Control, an Executive Committeeman, and as football coach, a servant of the University and its authorities. As such he found himself duty-bound to the faculty side—yet he was reasonable and human enough to realize that the football players were being mishandled. When the "strike" came off the Bluefield team came in to town for the first grid game of the season, and Mr. Watson found himself confronting a problem. With a determined squad of "strikers," intent on seeing the game cancelled before succumbing to the officials' demand on one side, and an egotistic administration conceited in its belief that it cannot lose on the other. Mr. Watson proved master of the situation. He persuaded "his men"—the players—to go through with the game, simply for the sake of saving the face of the school. The boys played and lost—ignominously. The rest of the season, in comparison to former years was poor. And now drawing our conclusions from the "mud-slinging," we are prone to believe that because the team finished a comparatively disastrous season (with a very good alibi), and because the president was not wholly successful in making the football players play football and work in the evenings to pay the expenses that playing football incurred, and because the university realizes the deficit of several thousands of dollars (on account of the failure of the Board of Athletic Control to compromise with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association), and because Coach Watson appears to be on the "wrong" side of the "high-guys," it appears that he is not wanted at Howard for more than another year—and surely not for three. By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. Feb. 27—The teamwork of Hampton's Blue and White basketball five gave them an impressive victory over Shaw University to the tune of 47-20 in their last game of the season in the Hampton Institute gymnasium. The first half was a nip and tuck affair even though Hampton possessed a comfortable lead during the entire time. The second half found more favor with the Hamptonian when Baker and Cotton, Hampton's two star forwards, tallied basket after basket.

The game at West Virginia Collegiate Institute was hard fought from start to finish, the Bisons commanding an early lead which they used to advantage. Superior passing and team play were evident, and the Washington boys succeeded in doing what they set out to do—to beat West Virginia—17-13. Captain Coates and Carpenter starred for the Hilltop five, while Shannon and Mason gave good account of themselves for the Jackets.

ST. CHRISTOPHER CLINCHES TITLE IN EASTERN LEAGUE PENNANT CHASE NEW YORK, Feb. 21—By virtue of its one-sided victory over the Tuxedo Tigers, last night, the smooth clicking Red and Black machine of St. Christopher practically clinched the Eastern League title, and the right to meet the winners of Dehart Hubbard's Mid-Western league for the world's amateur title. The contest was one of those weird affairs that is inevitable when a mediocre team meets a skilled passing aggregation. Eddie Corbin and Pat Murphy led the attack for the home boys with the strutting peacock doing his stuff for the visitors. With four more players like Jimmy, the Tigers would make it hot for any bunch in the country. Dick Seay, inimitable St. Christopher guard, was on the side-lines with a badly lacerated knee and "Gloomy" Coach Bradford is saving him for the tussle for the championship.

Williams The Crimson and Black team was not to be denied the opening game of the series against Armstrong's Nite High champions. Half-time found the score 8-6 in Dunhar's favor, and with ten minutes to play the score was 18-12 in Tech's favor. Armstrong, the high point score of the game who had been removed from the game, was again inserted and a barrage of baskets were garnered by him and his teammates. Barnes and Henderson with 9 and 5 points respectively, were the only Armstrong threats, but Dunbar's five-man defense forced them to hurry their shots or passes. The next game will be played March 17, at Dunbar High School.

Miller and his band of Armstrong High School tossers handed the Dunbar High quint its second straight set-back, Wednesday in the Dunbar gym. The score was 24-14 and carried with it the championship of the local high schools. The game turned out to be better in every particular than the one two weeks ago when on their home floor the Tech boys walked off with a 22-8 verdict. Both teams showed more uniform play, and the Red and Black tossers gave more competition than they did in the first game, when they were hopelessly outclassed.

MORRIS BROWN FIVE CROWNED CHAMPS By "Runt" Scruggs ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 23—Before 2,000 rabid basketball fans, Morris Brown University tonight won the championship of the Atlanta Schools, by winning from Clark University 40-38. Morris Brown led to within four minutes of half time when Johnson and company, of Clark, commenced shooting from all angles. The half ended with Clark on the long end of a 20-13 score. McLemore, Morris Brown forward who had in the first half scored just one basket, came back strong and rang up two baskets in succession. Roberts, following him, made two more. Morris Brown takes a one point lead, Clark makes an other basket to lead, thus the lead then saw-saw as each team struggled to subdue the other. From then on neither team had more than a two point lead on the other. b. f. p McLeore,f 5 0 2 Johnson,f 6 2 3 Bradley,c .6 1 0 Miller,f .1 0 1 Roberts,f 5 2 3 Calbert, c 0 1 4 Georg,e g .0 2 A Joh'n,r 1 2 4 Nelson, g .2 1 3 Hazzard,g 4 1 1 _____ Beck,g 0 1 2 Totals 18 14 10 Rob'son,f 2 3 1 DuPree,g -2 0 1 Y.

Yellowjackets Are Stung By Columbia Elk Quint Washingtonians High In A.T.A.Tennis Ratings --- In a game in which even a scant 2 seconds was considered ample time for victory to be converted into defeat or vice-versa, the Columbia Lodge Elk basketball team emerged winners in the first clash of the annual Elk-Community basketball series. The game was played at the Lincoln Colonnade last Friday night, and the final score was 29-28. It was a battle royal in which every record for the number of exciting moments, thrills and hairraising incidents was shattered to splinters. The 400 or more persons who witnessed the fray left the hall with but a single thought, "It was a great game." Though rough in spots, a remarkable degree of sportsmanship was displayed. In spite of the intense rivaly and the desire for victory both teams possessed, there was not a single instance in which intentional dirty play was evident. The Lodgemen were the first to draw blood, Slim Thomas, rangy pivotman scoring a nifty looper. This was followed by a double decker from the hands of his teammate Berry, to bring the score to a 4-0 count. It was not long, however before, Soup Turner, versatile Yellow-jacket center caged a twin counter for the first Orange and Black tally. For several minutes the score hung at 4-2, a spinner from the fingers of Zig Johnson, stellar guard, brought the Community lads on even terms with the older adversaries. From then on the battle waged fast and furious until at the close of the half the antlered clan found itself a pair of field goals better than the speedy amateurs. The first NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 28—The crowning of a new champion in men's singles and the return to first-ten ranking of a former champion, are the most notable features of the 1927 ratings of the Ameican Tennis Association released for publication this week by J. Mercer Burrell, Secretary of the A. T. A. This year's ratings will be of more than ordinary interest to tennis fans, as this is the first time that the official rating scale adopted by the A. T. A. has been used by the Committee. In this scale, tournaments are given a certain numerical value in the order of their importance, beginning with the Nationals and continuing on through to club tournaments. Local Players The altering of the position of Washington, D.C. performers is a fact worthy of mention. Beside the placing of Ted Thompson on the summit rung, we find several other products of the District courts climbing upward in the ratings. Dr. Sylvester Smith, a Washington born physician who learned his strokes on the courts of the Walker Memorial Club, then situated where the Whitelaw now stands, is ranked number 3. Dr. Marcellus Goff, a graduate of Howard University, now practicing in Virginia clamored from twelfth place in 1926 to sixth in 1927. Youthful Lenoir Cook is for the first time placed in the A. T. A. ratings. He is numbered 26. Anita Gant Places Miss Anita Gant, doubtless the greatest Capital City performer of the fairer sex since the days of Dean Lucy Slowe's court supremacy, is rated number 8 in the women's singles. Miss Gladys Jamieson, Howard University coed, is for her first season placed eighteenth. In the mixed doubles we find still another District product, Miss Blanche Winston ranked with her partner Louis Jones, New York, at the top of the heap. Sterling Brown and Allison Davis are placed seventh in the men's doubles. Two of the greatest Negro tennis players ever developed in America, and who are Washington men, Talley Holmes and John F. N. Wilkinson are relegated to the "has-been" class in the season's ratings. Holmes, who in 1925 was number 4, and last year 11 is dropped to the lowly eighteenth position. Wilkinson, conceded third place last season, is given thirteenth in the present release. Men's Singles "Ted" Thompson, the 1925 National Champion, staged a comeback and has ousted Eyre Saitch, the hard-hitting New Yorker, from first position in the men's singles. As winner of the Nationalists at Hampton, in which he defeated Saitch, "Ted" is entitled to this position. "Ted" was also finalist in the Eastern Open Sectional Championships at Bordentown, where he was defeated by the 1926 champion. This was "Ted's" only defeat, and he secured his revenge at Hampton. He defeated Hudlin in the quarter-finals of the Nationalists. E. D. Downing, Virginia, is rated third. The most notable comeback in tennis history is that of Dr. Sylvester Smith, Singles Champion of the A. T. A. in 1919 and finalist in 1920. After remaining out of the game for five years, "Syl" fought his way to the semi-finals in the Easterns, won the Pennsylvania Open and made a creditable SEVEN period ended 18-14. The Elk lead was overhauled by the Community machine early in the second half, and until there was only a four minute interval between the end of the game, the lead seesawed from one team to the other. With the score 24-23, Thomas came through with his only basket of the final frame, to place the Elks ahead 25-24. Willie Hope star Columbia guard then followed with a cager from the floor and the Elks enjoyed a 3 point advantage, but not for long. "Hooks" Givens, ambled his way in from the sideline to cage a neat rebound follow up and Turner sank his fifth ringer through the cords. Community led 28-27. El Gibson, substituting for Berry, then stole a march on the wholesemblage by caging the winning tally. It was this basket from an unexpected source which decided the issue. Considering every second vital, Refree Miller ordered time out with 2 ticks to play before tossing a jump ball between Hope and Lacy, after which the blast of the whistle sent a mass of excitement-crazed humanity into the night chanting "It was a great game."

THEA THEATRICAL "7th HEAVEN" RETURNS TO REPUBLIC ALL NEXT WEEK The best picture of this year, last year and all the years. Such has been the praise won by "7th Heaven," the only picture to play a full week's return engagement at an uptown moving picture theatre. In the history of the Republic Theatre there has never been a picture that so many requests have been received for a return engagement from those who were unable to see it at its original showing and from those who wish to view it again. Beginning Sunday, March 4 at 3 p.m. and continuing throughout the week will mark the final opportunity to see "7th Heaven." It will be shown as originally presented with an atmospheric prologue featuring, "I'm in Heaven When I See You Smile, Diane," the musical theme of "7th Heaven" sung by Rena Mitchell in a setting of rich splendor. The exceptional music score will again accompany the picture, played by Austin J. Balaasco and Dick Hall, organists at the Republic. "7th Heaven" is the romance of degradation to the 7th Heaven of happiness. Its simplicity and charm is its great appeal. Janet Gaynor as Diane and Charles Farrell in the role of Chico, a very remarkable fellow, two unknowns to the screen before "7th Heaven" was made, give performances that happen only once in a lifetime. A great critic of the day said the following about "7th Heaven" during its premier in New York—"As we sat there the miracle came to pass. On the screen we saw what the most optimistic of critics does not expect to witness more than once in a lifetime, the coming into being of two new stars. For, from the first scene revealing Charles Farrell in the role of Chico, plying his trade in a Paris sewer, and to the next showing the trembling Janet Gaynor in the part of Diane, lifting supplicating hands to her drink-mad sister, and until the first glorious moment when the two are reunited after a long separation, in their heaven of a Paris garret, they mesmerized their audience with the portrayal of their roles." "7th Heaven" is a de luxe at-attraction. BURLEIGH VISITS CITY Alston Burleigh, who has appeared in "Porgy" and "Meek Mose" on Broadway this season, was a visitor here this week end.

This is a non-stop musical flight from Georgia to Japan and is dedicated to the good-will tour of Colonel Lindberg in South American countries. "Tokio" has an all-star cast headed by Emmett Anthony, Jota, the sensational dancer; the Mikado Troupe; the original Japanese band; Edna Barr, Gladys Robinson, John Churchill, Queenie Price, assisted with a big chorus of the usual Miller dancing beauties. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the screen attraction will be "The Small Bachelor" featuring Otis Harlan and Barbara Kent, and Lucian Littlefield. This picture is said to be one of the most delightful farce comedies that has ever been written. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the screen attraction will be Reginald Denny in the role of a boxer in his latest starring vehicle "On Your Toes." This is without a doubt the fastest moving comedy in which the young star has appeared to date. Reginald Denny, in this production, has a wonderful supporting cast including Mary Carr, Hayden Stevenson and many others. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble will be held beginning at 12:15 sharp. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show. RICHARD BARTHELMESS IN "THE PATENT LEATHER KID" AT THE LINCOIN THEATRE NEXT WEEK For the five days beginning Sunday, March 4 and continuing through until Thursday, March 8, will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre "ThePatent Leather Kid." "The Patent Leather Kid" in which Richard Barthelness will be seen at his best is ascribed by many critics as being probably the greatest love story the screen has even known. It is full of scenes that will make your heart throb and bring an occasional tear to the eye. This is the dramatic story of a cynical pugulist, the greatest drawing card of his day merely because everybody wanted to see him knocked out because of his selfishness, his self-conceit, lack of patriotism and thoughtlessness.

H. Dudley, Sr. I have watched the show business very carefully lately, perhaps was normal, but as my business was normal, but my business being calls me all over the country it has made me observe the shows more closely than I would have otherwise. In my opinion there is too much jazz in the present day shows. When you see one show you see them all. The curtain rises on the charleston and blackbottom and we get the charleston and blackbottom until the final curtain. I notice the shows that are a little different do more business, that's where I get my conclusion. Another draw-back is the bits used in these revues are too old and too many shows are doing the same bits. The audiences are getting tired of these shows and it is time for the producers of this kind of entertainment to wake up and bring us something new or the theatres will have to go to straight pictures. I think that the time is about right for a show with a theme. Let War breaks out and the "Kid" is dragged in by draft against his will. His changes of philosophy, the regeneration of his soul, his glowing patriotism, and his final thoughtfulness form the sequence of this great love story. It is a soul-inspiring, heart-throbbing epic relating to the tank corps and the American patriotism and has a climax that is exceptionally good. The original music score for "The Patent Leather Kid" such as was used in the big key cities has been secured and will be used in connection with this showing. Louis N. Brown will play at the console. The management has stated that, "Owing to the excess in high costs of the film and other financial arrangements which the management has had to give to the producers it will be impossible to show "The Patent Leather Kid" at our regular admission prices, we had to raise the prices." On Friday and Saturday, there will be seen "Heroes of the Night" featuring Cullen Landis. The Universal chapter play "The Vanishing Rider" featuring William Desmond will be shown on Saturday only. On Saturday evening at 9 o'clock will be held the opportunity contest at which time three cash prizes will be given the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience. Thurs., Fri, Sat., Sun. REGINALD DENNY —IN— "On Your Toes" THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE ATRE A. E. Lichtman ars, Supervisor us have a story show once in awhile to break the monotony. I also think that we could stand for a farce comedy once in awhile if we would add a few musical numbers in it to pop it up. It is worth a trial anyway. One thing sure, it could not make business worse for the promoters or the theaters than the present day jazz shows. It might help the jazz revues by not seeing them every week as the whole world is jazz crazy, but too much of anything leaves a bad taste, or makes a bad impression. By having somewhat different shows would make the lovers of jazz welcome jazz and patronize them more if they were not getting too many of them. The present day producer, or stage director, doesn't have to go on the stage to stage his dance numbers. He sits in the front on the stage when rehearsing, and says, "Charleston in this number, and blackbottom in that number." And when he is asked what will we do for the closing of the show?—he simply says, "Well I closed my other show with the blackbottom, so we will close this one with the charleston." Even the chorus girls of today can leave one show at matinee today and open with another for the night performance, without making one mistake. This is because all shows are the same with very few exceptions. I would like for some of our progressive young producers to try out some of the above suggestions and let us have a rest on old man jazz, for a short while any way.

Layton a nationally known club woman and active in local religious and charitable organizations. Young Layton was a leading pianist of the Wilberforcian Musical Association of Washington in 1910, 1911 and 1912. Prof. J. Sherman Huntuille was president, Atty. Karl F. Phillips, vice president and W. P. Bayless, secretary. Through the efforts of Mr. James P. Smith and Mr. Phillips, young Layton, then in his early teens, was reduced to become a member of the association which furnished music for practically all of the largest and smartest affairs in Washington during those years. Mr. Layton left this organization and went to New York City where he soon gained a national reputation as a song writer. He later made a trip to Europe and won distinction. After the World War he again returned to Europe and for two seasons held the spotlight. Three years ago he and Mr. Johnstone went to England and since that time have been leaders.
