BILL TO TRANSFER RECORDER'S OFFICE NOT TO BE PUSHED A. M. E. ZION BISHOPS DISCOVER IRREGU ARITIES IN SECRETARY'S REPORT FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 38 BILL TO A. M. E. ZI DISCOVER IRE IN SECRETAL The special committee appointed in Philadelphia, last week by the Board of Bishops of the A.M.E. Zion Church, met on Thursday, March 8, at the office of the church extension secretary. When asked for a statement by a reporter of The Tribune, relative to facts uncovered in Philadelphia, a few days earlier, Bishop J. W. Martin, who was chairman of the meeting in Philadelphia, said that they were not investigating anyone or any department but were simply making an audit such as any other business concern does. He said that they had received the reports from their church officers and were simply checking them over. He asserted further that the auditing seemingly denoted that charges had been made. Such was not the case he stated. Bishop J. S. Caldwell and Bishop E. D. W. Jones also assented to the statement made by Bishop Martin. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (Special) The financial board of the A: M.E. Zion Church was held in this city on March 8 and 7. (The Board of Bishops along with the financial officers were present. The bishops mat in the main auditorium of the big zion church. The sessions were open to the public until certain items in the financial secretary's report were reached. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of Washington, D.C., asked for all records, bank books, vouchers, returned checks, letter files, notes, bonus receipts and all transactions of the department for the past four years. Immediately there was a scurrying of clerks, and officials. His demand fell, like a bombshell among the bishops and officials. Before the bishops realized that the public was present, important bits of information had been given out. One item involved the sale of a church by the connectional officials, for which $900 was realized. It is claimed that this money was divided between Dr. W. H. Goler, financial secretary of the church, and Bishop L. W. Kyles, chairman of the finance committee of bishops. It is claimed that Bishop Kyle received $600 of the money. It was further claimed that when Professor J. H. Johnson of Salisbury, N.C., demanded an accounting, Bishop Kyles sent a check to Dr. Goler for the amount, but the check was returned as being "no good" when it was presented for cash. This check, it was stated, has never been made good. Another item brought up was a check for $2,841 which was to have gone for the mission work of Bishop J. W. Martin and Bishop W. J. Walls. When this item was brought up, both bishops denied receiving the money. The returned cancelled check disclosed the fact that it had been cashed in Winston-Salem, N. C., the home town of Bishop Kyles. When other revelations were made as the vouchers, checks and records were gone over, the bishops hurriedly got together and referred the whole matter to a special committee which was instructed to make a thorough audit of the records of Dr. Goler. Three bishops were named on the committee; namely, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of this city, Bishop E. D. W. Jones of Washington, and Bishop J. W. Martin of Los Angeles, California.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1928 "LILY WHITES" ATTEMPT TO OUST NEGROES THROUGH COURTS Wresting control of the Republican party from Negroes in southern states by court injunctions is the latest effort of "illy-white" according to information reaching here Tuesday. Court injunctions against the regular Republican organizations have been obtained by "illy-white" Republicans in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia, the last strongholds of Negro Republicans. In other southern states where the Negro has already been eliminated as a factor in Republican affairs, efforts are being made to keep him out of all conventions and bar his election as a delegate to county, district, state and national conventions. The "illy-white" Republicans are being supplied with funds to carry on their fight from an unknown source. The favor with which the Herbert Hoover candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination is meeting in the south gives rise to the belief that these funds are coming from those who are backing the Secretary of Commerce. Colored Republicans are unyielding. They intend to carry the fight through the courts and to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., in June, and force the Republican party to declare whether it sanctions the elimination of the colored Republicans from the party councils. The fight of the "illy-whitees" is directed mainly at Walter L. Cohen in Louisiana, Perry W. Howard in Mississippi, and Benjamin Jefferson Davis in Georgia. Emil Knutz, the Republican national committeeman for Louisiana, has joined forces with the "illy-whitees" in their efforts to eliminate Mr. Cohen as a delegate to the national convention. In Mississippi chancery court judge at Hattiesburg has enjoined the regular Republican organization headed by Mr. Howard from holding its county, district and state conventions in accordance with the calls originally issued for these meetings. The prospect of contesting "illy-white" and "black and tan" delegations at the next convention rises. In Georgia where the most harmonious Republican state convention in the history of the party in that state was held, the "illy-whitees" have obtained an injunction to restrain the delegates from attending the national convention. WANT SCHOOL BOARD TO OUTLAW CONTEST WANT SCHOOL BOARD TO OUTLAW CONTEST Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools; Walter L. Smith, principal of the Dunbar High School, and G. David Houston, principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, spoke at the regular meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club last Friday night regarding the refusal of the two colored high schools to participate in the national oratorical contest that is being sponsored in the District of Columbia and nearby Maryland and Virginia by the Evening Star. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, school board member, also spoke. A committee consisting of Dr. B. Price Hurst, Dr. William H. Wilson, Whitefield McKinley, Addison N. Scurlock and Dr. Thomas W. Edwards, was appointed to urge the Board of Education to outlaw the contest from the District public schools because of alleged discrimination. Dunbar High and Armstrong Technical High Schools declined to enter the contest this year because they did not receive literature pertaining to it until after the white high schools. The star blames the postal service for the delay. BISHOP FREEMAN TO CON- FIRM CLASS Right Rev. James E. Freeman, bishop of this city, will confer the holy rite of confirmation on a large class at St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, on Wednesday, March 21, at 8 o'clock.

At a recent meeting of the board of trustees of Lincoln University, Dr. Walter G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J., former member of the New Jersey Assembly from Essex County, was appointed associated director of the endowment fund campaign among the alumni of the institution. At the last meeting of the Alumni Association, Dr. R. B. McRary, of Baltimore, was chosen to head the campaign among the alumni, but owing to illness, the great amount of work, and the extensive territory to be covered, it was found necessary to make some division, and for this reason, Dr. Alexander was chosen to cooperate with Dr. McRary in carrying on the campaign. Dr. Alexander will be present at the Lincoln-Harvard debate in Boston, and is arranging for an extensive tour of the combined musical clubs of the university. Both the debating team and the musical organizations will be used for the purpose of raising funds for the endowment. the written pleadings as amended to contain such additional allegations of fact. "A motion to dismiss admits the truth of all facts well pleaded, and we therefore turn to consider what practices are assailed. "The complainant concludes that the foregoing practices violate section 1 of the act because the tips plus the published fares result in charges that are unjust and unreasonable "Moreover, a consideration of the complaint in all of its aspects leads only to the conclusion that the real objectives sought are increased wages for the porters and maids in the defendant's employ. We have no power to regulate wages, and consequently no authority to inquire into the justness of the complainant's demands, however meritorious they might prove to be. "The motion to dismiss will be sustained and the complaint dismissed for want of jurisdiction." --- Dr. JAMES H. DILLARD of Charlottesville, Va., President of the Slater Fund and the Jeans Funds; Member of the General Education Board. I. C. C. DECIDES AGAINST PORTERS IN TIPPING CASE The Interstate Commerce Commission last Friday dismissed for want of jurisdiction the complaint of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters against the Pullman Company. The porters' union sought to have the commission order the Pullman Company to cease and desist from permitting Pullman porters to receive tips from passengers. The commission found that "the real objectives sought are increased wages for the porters and maids" in the employ of the Pullman Company. It held that it has "no power to regulate wages, and consequently no authority to inquire into the justness of the complainants' demands, however meritorious they might prove to be." Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison dissented. He said that the complaint seems to state facts which, if established, may constitute violations of law, "which we should investigate further than can be done by mere inspection of the complaint and the argument thereon." Commissioners Joseph B. Eastman and Ernest I. Lewis joined him in his dissenting opinion. The full text of the decision by Commissioner Ezra Brainerd is as follows: The Decision "Complainant, an association of some 7,000 persons of the Negro race employed as porters and maids by defendant in its business of iterstate transportation of passengers in Pullman service, alleges by complaint filed September 7, 1927, that certain practices of the defendant hereinafter set forth are in violation of the Interstate Commerce Act. We are asked to order the defendant to cease and desist from these alleged unlawful practices. "The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the allegations set forth did not state a cause of action over which we have jurisdiction and that we are without authority to grant the relief prayed for in the complaint or any relief. We assigned the motion for oral argument before us, which has been had. "A motion to dismiss a complaint for the foregoing reasons is not specifically recognized in our rules of practices. Such motions when filed are generally overruled, but our practice permits amendment of the pleadings in all cases where we are satisfied that that complainant has within his knowledge facts which, if well pleaded, would constitute a cause of action within our jurisdiction and entitle the complainant to a hearing and decision at our hands. "Counsel for both parties were permitted at the argument to amplify their written pleadings by stating certain alleged facts which they claimed could be proved by them if an opportunity for a hearing were afforded. For the purpose of this report we will treat LINCOLN ENDOWMENT SPECIAL INSURANCE ISSUE 12 PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS ZIHLMAN DENIES OBJECT WAS TO OUST NEGROES ZIHLMAN DENIES OBJECT WAS TO OUST NEGROES The Zihlman bill to transfer the office of the recorder of deeds to the District of Columbia will not be pushed at this session of Congress, Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, declared Tuesday. Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee, has advised him, said Mr. Zihlman, that satisfactory arrangements are being made with Arthur B. Froe, recorder of deeds, to put the work of that office on a current basis. "It is therefore not necessary to take up the subject matter of this bill," Mr. Zihlman stated. Assertions that the purpose of the bill was to reduce the employment of colored persons in that office was denied by Mr. Zihlman. The bill, he said, "does not contain anything that would take away the employment of any colored persons." He stated that the bill provides "that the future appointments should be made by the Civil Service lists. The claim is made that in making appointments from the eligible lists the colored race is discriminated against. As to this I could not say." COL. CHAS. YOUNG HONORED BY OMEGAS Memorial services honoring Colonel Charles Young were held in the Rankin Chapel of Howard University at 8 o'clock p.m. under the auspices of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, of which Colonel Young was a member. Services of a similar nature were held by the fraternity throughout the United States, on March 11. Colonel Charles Young was born at Mayslick, Ky., March 12, 1854. He received his early education in Ripley, Ohio, where he graduated from high school at the age of sixteen. He taught at the high schools in Ripley until 1884, when he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. He graduated with the rank of second lieutenant in 1889. He was awarded the Spingam medal in 1916. The services were opened with remarks by Polisey O. Barnes. Then the Howard University Glee Club rendered two spirituals. The next number was a selection by the Omega Trio. This was the first public appearance of this string trio. They were assisted at the piano by Miss Gladys Davis. The speaker of the evening was Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke, Judge Advocate. He confined his remarks to Colonel Young's life and experience in the United States army. He soundly rapped the humiliating and discouraging conditions under which Colonel Young labored at West Point, and during his service in the army, and expressed a hope for a more liberal and democratic treatment for those Negroes who might desire to serve their country under their flag. The concluding number was a duet, "Come Unto Him," by John Macklin and Barrington Guy. 2.100.000 NEGROES ATANTA, Ga.—From 1900 to 1925 there was a shift of 2,100,000 Negroes from the country to the cities, more than doubling the urban population, according to an exhaustive study of Negro life and conditions just completed by the Institute of Social and Religious research made under the direction of Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., of the University of North Carolina. This study covers sixteen typical American cities, North and South, and is the first scientific investigation of Negro conditions ever made on anything like a national scale. The report of the investigation has just been issued in a book entitled, "Negro Problems in Cities," which treats of the citywide drift of Negro population and the resulting problems of friction, congestion, segregation, exploitation, schools, recreation, and delinquency. TEN LIBERTY LIFE PRODUCTION IS $11,000,000 The past year was another milestone for Liberty Life Insurance Company. The company's production record was commendable, being well over eleven million dollars. In spite of the stringent market, when money was exceptionally tight among our group almost everywhere Liberty Life experienced satisfactory gains in every phase of its work. A new spirit of energy and enthusiasm is A. A. N. P. DR. M. O. BOUSFIELD President Liberty Life Insurance Company, Chicago, Ill. easily apparent in each of the company's departments and divisions. Such an esprit d' corps as the company has coupled with widespread acceptance on the part of the public, has been in a large measure responsible for the gains which show that at the close of 1927 the company had $11,277,818 of insurance in force, $4,877,443 of new paid-for business for the year 1927, and assets which now total over $600,000. M. O. Bousfield, president of the company, stated that, "the Liberty Life, organized six years ago by the late Frank L. Gillespie, who served as its president continually until his death two years ago, is the first old line insurance company organized by Negroes authorized by the Illinois insurance department to do business." Industrial Department Added One of the most significant achievements under the program of expansion that the company has experienced is the addition of an industrial insurance department during 1927. This division is headed by J. Delos Bell, a young man of outstanding ability, who has proved his mettle by producing over $600,000 of business during the first year of his department. The Washington branch of Liberty Life was established in March, 1925, by the founder of the company, the late Mr. Gillespie. This agency is now operated under the management of G. G. Guiles of Chicago. Mr. Guiles was formerly associated with the Massachusetts Bonding Company of Boston, a $15,000,000 corporation; with the Mutual Life of New York; the Aetna of Hartford, and the New York Indemnity Company. His connection with these companies covered a period of over fourteen years. INSURANCE MANAGERS ASSOCIATION (Continued from page 7) in the formation of an underwriters association. Being conversant with the problems of the home office as well as the field force, we are able to eliminate evils, if any, more than anyone else. As general managers we realize that life insurance can not progress if her generals accept the pay of generals and perform the duties of privates. Cooperation will strengthen and fit us as trustees and custodians of funds voluntarily deposited with us for the future use and benefit of the policy holder. The whole scheme of the Managers Association is a closer relationship in business, the organization of a recognized body, and a better understanding of our mutual problems. WHEELING, W. Va.-Announcement has just been made by R. H. Rutherfood, president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, with home offices in Washington, D.C., that his organization had completed arrangements to loan $55,000 to the Wheeling Pythian Association, on the erection of a modern office building by that association, on a site here known as premises 1025-27 Chapline street. The Pythians have held title to this property for some time, having purchased it for a moderate figure when Chapline was a closed street; but recently this street has been cut through, connecting the main boulevard leading out of Wheeling, and this property, with other, was overnight enhanced in value, and is now in the heart of The Supreme Life & Casualty Co. THE FIRST RACE COMPANY TO BE ORGANIZED IN THE NORTH THE ONLY RACE COMPANY WRITING CASUALTY POLICIES The Supreme Life points with pride to further evidences of distinction, in being the first company of our group to prepare, issue and successfully market: a standard casualty policy suitable for every profession or vocation; a joint life policy especially adapted to professional or marital partnerships; a juvenile educational or dowry policy where the premiums may cease on the death of the premium-paying parent; and college endowment insurance where the classes insure themselves with their university as the irrevocable beneficiary. the business center of the city. Real estate barons, after being frustrated in their endeavors to buy out the Pythians, retaliated by making it impossible to be financed by white financial institutions here. The Pythians conferred with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and made known their project of erecting a modern office building, including stores, a theatre and auditorium. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company finally closed negotiations, whereby it is advancing the Pythians $55,000. The plans have been approved by the Department of Building Inspection of Wheeling authorizing Samuel Plato, colored contractor, of Louisville, Kentucky, to erect the building. The razing of the present dwelling has already been started.

A. P. BENTLEY Secretary W. ger The Record of the Past The Record Is The Surest Promise of the Future At the close of 1926, the company had assets amounting to $3,190,000.00, with insurance in force, $45,817,657.00. There came during that year a challenge to the cooperative spirit of the North Carolina Mutual, as pioneer in the Legal Reserve insurance field, to reinsure the company's business in Florida, amounting to $2,526,108.00, with the Afro-American Life Insurance Company of Jacksonville, Florida, and the business in Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas, amounting to $7,486,734.00 with the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Arkansas, thus not only aiding development of these companies, but also effecting larger service and better supervision in the remaining eight states. The accrued reserve, amounting to $521,149.80, was paid over to these companies for the policyholders' protection. During 1927, the company made a record increase of insurance in force in eight states and brought its assets again over the $3,000,000.00 mark, largely through increased efficiency of managers and agents and improved service of the Home Office organization. The company is now more substantial in every way. Cooperation, the keynote of the company, has again demonstrated its wisdom and reward, and the people at large are—as the company constantly plans and labors to have them be—the chief beneficiaries of this policy of mutual welfare. 1928 bids fair to be the company's biggest and best year.

RAMON NOVARRO IN "THE STUDENT PRINCE" AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK "The Student Prince" is a story the world loves; a story that has played in every corner of the world in the form of an operetta by Sigmund Romberg. As a screen play it makes history. "The Student Prince" is a play that has thundered down through the ages as one of the greatest dramas of the stage. This super-product of Metro-Goldwyn comes to the Lincoln Theatre for five days beginning Sunday, March 18, and continues through until Thursday, March 22. One is transported to Germany to revel with the young prince in the Heidelberg gardens; one shares his poignant tragedy. Yet it is but a simple story of the love of a boy and a girl hav- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1928 NEIL HAMILTON and MARY ALDEN "The Joy Girl" is a story of the jazz age! SATURDAY ONLY TALENT at 5:30, 7:30, 9:30 MATINEE TO 6 p.m.—10 cents NIGHTS—20 cents ing quaint old Heidelberg for its background. Ramon Novarro, the star of "Ben Hur," is the young prince. Norma Shearer is his pathetic sweetheart. The supporting cast is also well chosen and includes such actors as Jean Hersholt, Edward Connelly, George K. Aurthur, and Otis Harlan. The settings are gorgeous. The Heidelberg garden, with the huge castle frowning down upon it from the hills in the distance and a whole town laid out along the banks of the river beyond, is one of the most elaborate pieces of scenic construction the screen has ever presented. The original music score, played by Louis Brown, will accompany the picture. "Spoilers of the West," the new frontier film starring Tim McCoy, will be the screen attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for Thursday and Friday, March twenty-third and twenty-fourth. It forcibly brings to mind the comparative newness of the great American West; as far as civilized settlement is concerned. More than a thousand full-blooded Indians appear in this production, by special arrangement with the government. Marjorie Daw appears in the feature feminine role opposite Tim McCoy and is ably supported by the well-known western star William Fairbanks. On Saturday only the universal serial "The Vanishing Rider" with William Desmond, will also be shown. At 9 p.m. the opportunity contest will be held, at which time three cash prizes will be aware to the lucky contestants as judged by the audience.

Miss Gaynor is the girl who arose overnight from obscurity to stardom by her performance as "Diane" in "7th Heaven." "2 Girls Wanted" was made while Miss Gaynor was still fresh from her sensational triumph in "7th Heaven" and is said to be her supremo achievement to date. The plot of "2 Girls Wanted" is exceptionally simple and the characters extremely real. Miss Gaynor is cast as a littleperky, resourceful, average working girl, who relies on her ingenuity and sense of humor to carry her over the rougher places in the world. Youth, love and the romance that comes but once in a life-time are in "2 Girls Wanted." a super-special picture. Ben Bard, Glen Tryon and Alyce Mills support Miss Gaynor in this picture.

The story tells of a poor girl who aspired to wealth and position at almost any cost. "The Joy Girl" is a story of the jazz age. On Saturday only, there will be three talent shows at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Friday night, March 23, is "Y. W. C. A. Night" at the Republic Theatre.

DUDLEY'S MIND TURNS TO THE TURF By S. H. Dudley This week finds me in sunny Florida inhaling the sweet fragrance of the orange blossoms. I am resting in Live Oak, a beautiful little town with emphasis on the "little." The population is just about 10,000 and one-third colored. There are quite a number of energetic Negroes here who are doing some big things, and are very wealthy. I must say that the two races get along exceptionally well together. En route here I stopped over in Jacksonville, had a delightful time with Buddie Austin for a few minutes and motored on here. Buddie and I are going fishing tomorrow and I am expecting to have C. H. Douglass, the theatre man and banker of Macon, Ga., visit me before leaving this section. I expect to return in time for the opening at Bowie race track, where I hope to get off for a good start this year. All of our nags wintered well and are looking and training fine. C. Manley, the head trainer, says he has a real jumper this year in Snuffy. He is expecting great things of him; while I am saving my money to wager on the Maid, and J. B. Key is getting ready to clean up on Fidelity House. This filly pulled the stable out of a nice hole last year when she won and paid each $2 backer $66.50, not so bad, ch? Snuffy also won, paying $57.30—we had a small wager on them. For the benefit of those who are interested in the game we have the following horses this season: The Maid, Fidelity House, Snuffy, Lady Edna, Lally and Lady Glasses, and we may add a couple of two-year-olds as the trainer and my partner, J. B. Key are going to look at them on Thursday. Should they be satisfied with their appearances we will have that much less in the bank but more in our stables. HAMPTON SINGERS COMING HERE One hundred singers from Hampton Institute will be presented at the First Congregational Church, of which Dr. Jason Noble Pierce is pastor, Tenth and G street, northwest, Tuesday, April 17, at 8 o'clock.

Meno-Goldwin-Mayer PICTURES Saturday only — Universal serial, the "VANISHING RIDER" 9 P.M. — OPPORTUNITY CONTEST Liberal Progressive Independent TOM HEFLIN ON THE AIR Radio fans suffering from insomnia, last Saturday night, were treated to a speech by the Senator from Alabama, broadcast by station WTFF, after midnight. Just how such devout Protestants could justify such Sabbath desecration, is hard to explain, but for quite an hour the universe was forced to tremble by the bass voiced uttering of Constitutional platitudes concerning our "Free institutions which we love," and the bill of rights which is threatened by the machinations of the Knights of Columbus. Senator Heflin, in his loud voiced protestations of his lone championship and protection of the great American boons of free press, religious toleration, and the public school—all threatened by the scheming of the Catholic hierarchy which aims to "M A C." or Make America Catholic—failed to fall into the language trap which might include the Negro as one of the beneficiaries. He spoke in tones which almost exhausted his lung power. He protested his toleration for every man's religion and freedom of opportunity, "Jew or gentile, Catholic or Protestant," but failed to say, "black or white." He told how he alone had published to the world the schemes of Catholics to lead this country into war with Mexico to protect the Catholic Church, and how the newspapers had failed to publish his matter. He set forth the progress made in Mexico since the Calles government had expelled, and broken the control of, the Catholic church. He was succeeded by folk music smacking of the Scotch highlands and by the melodious, "Take me back to Ole Virgine," as played by the Ku Klux band No. 6, of Ballston, Virginia. As a whole, it was a nice bit of advertisement for the Klan and their paper, the Fellowship Forum, which fostered the program. Coming at such an unseemly hour on Sunday morning, however, it did just about what it was expected to do: it put everybody to sleep satisfied with life and the safety of the nation because Senator Tom was on the job to protect us against all high crimes, treasons and misdemeanors. Fortunately, the air is at least fifteen miles high; such a speech delivered in the confines of the Senate chamber would have shattered both precedent and the glass panelled ceiling. The announcer seemed to be anxious that California should hear the broadcast. We can assure him, it did; and China and the Vatican. Even the heavens, being bombarded, wept all day Sunday. WHY PUPILS FAIL Education has claimed for itself such magic power in fostering and preserving democracy, that it has become sacrilege to question it. Hopeful parents and burdened teachers periodically seek to console or condemn each other for the failure of pupils. We raise the question, "Why do pupils fail? The last issue of this paper carried a story purporting to tell our kiddies about Crispus Attucks. The writer, a school pupil, misspelled the name of her hero, and garbled the facts. Since it was history, there is no excuse possible. It was something the writer could not for know herself. She could only be informed, and thus she could verify every line written into her article, and could have given her authority for her information. Knowledge is either directly secured through experience, or it is not knowledge. Secondary knowledge is merely information. Skill, through experience, may be knowledge, and a certain belief due to fixed customs may be classed as knowledge. No one knows except in response to a question, a problem or a situation which excites one's interest to receive the answer. The answer may be the right one or it may not, verification or retrial will prove that. Our children fail because they have no standards, or false ones; or the standards they have are too low and too listlessly held. Every child should be required to follow a course in science until it had learned how to think from facts to inferences. Too many of our children take words, or sounds for the meanings of things. Too many of our teachers give or feed Mishyloon Tribune Mishyloon Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 inked as second class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office, 100 W. 10th St. under the Act of March 8, 1922. the children words without the ideas which make the words necessary and possible tags for the ideas. Too many children do not hunger and want to know; they simply conform because it releases them from confinement. To watch them is to observe their interests to be social; to be in each other. Thus they get their social approval and are pleased. As we increase the mass to be educated, we lower the quality of the product of our system. THE FAR VISION OF A LEADER Doctor Mordecai W. Johnson has courageously and clearly stated his ideas, thoughts, belief, position and hope respecting the race with which he is identified. He has done it in faultless language. He has so written it that it has been made available to all the world through the pages of the Congressional Record, page 4690, et. seq., March 10, 1928. Many leaders have formulated programs for our race. Several men of multiple initiative have directed our blind movements into channels of progress and development. Frederick Douglass, by his unparalleled eloquence and his achievements in political and public life, set for us a standard of Aframericanism. Booker T. Washington, by his genius and its fruit, has left us a monument of the transforming power of the human idea regardless of race. But no thinker among us has ever phrased the conditions, rights, possibilities, hope and promise of the Negro both in America and in Africa with respect to civilization, as has Doctor Johnson, president of Howard University. "I hope and I do not conceal my hope," says Doctor Johnson, repeating part of his inaugura address, "that the destiny of the Negro will be entire public equality, entire good willed co-operative relations with every element of the American population, and that he will be especially understood by those men who have been his former masters and who have been accustomed to make him a slave." "I want my country to conquer all the inhibitions connected with blackness and all the fears connected with blackness, but I want the original blackness there and I want that blackness to be unashamed and unafraid." "The 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States are spiritual hostages of Africa in the midst of civilization. . . . "We are ambassadors as it were for 150 million black people, a living and, I hope, a persuasive exhibit of the possibilities resident in them." DATE SET FOR FRANCIS JUNIOR HIGH DEDICATION The Board of Education at a recent meeting approved Tuesday, March 20, at 8 p.m., as the time for the dedication of the new Francis Junior High School, Twenty-fourth and N streets, northwest.

Mason, president of the Francis Home and School Association, and Barrister Hugh R. Francis, of San Juan, Porto Rico, a son of the late Dr. John R. Francis, after whom the school has been named.

Essays No. 1 and No. 2 are open to everybody—men, women, children—graded school or high school. Essay No. 3 is for high school students only. Essay No. 1 will give you a chance to draw a word picture of something that you have seen.

Literature that will assist in the writing of these essays will be furnished by the Washington Tribune. There is an information sheet explaining each subject. You may have these sheets by requesting them at the Tribune office. A prize of $15 and one of $10, will be given for the first and second best essays in each of three groups.

THE WINTER VISITANTS The winter visitants are the birds that come southward from the cool green woods of the Adirondack mountains or from Canada. They arrive in the warmer parts of the country when the first signs of cold weather visit the northern sections where they spend the summer. Among the winter visitants who come southward is the white-throated sparrow, a friendly little fellow whose call is easy to imitate. If you whistle to him, he and his family will hurry to see what you want. He is a little larger than the ordinary sparrow and wears a white patch on his throat. BY MRS. G. C. H. What girl (or boy, for that matter) who has not watched mother sifting, mixing, and then baking goodies for the table? Mother, with her deft movements, seems to be a magician as she takes first one thing and then another, and mixing them together produces a tasty edible, for you to enjoy. But what mother does is not so "really" very difficult. You, too, could make many of the things that mother makes if you only try. All mothers are willing to teach their girls or boys how to cook. Some evening instead of going out to play, help mother at her task of cooking—see how, willing she is to tell and show you how to cook—and you will be surprised at how very easy it is to learn. Everybody should know how to cook—boys as well as girls. Here i a receipt for biscuits. Ask mother for the ingredients and try to make your first biscuits. 18 Small Biscuits Take 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup milk or water (approximately, 4 tablespoons of lard. For sour milk biscuits, substitute sour or buttermilk for liquid, and replace baking powder with one-half (½) teaspoon soda. To make light flaky biscuits, follow the directions carefully. 1—Measure all ingredients accurately—use level teaspoons of baking powder and salt, level tablespoons of lard, and level cups of flour (loosely packed). Sift flour before measuring. 2—Sift flour with salt and baking powder. 3—Work lard into flour mixture until it is evenly and finely distributed throughout. 4—Stir in liquid gradually, using enough to make a soft dough.

NOTES One of the most hectic financial campaigns that Phyllis Wheatley has had is fast drawing to a close: $12,088 has been reached. The next report will be given at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 1, at which time the effort will be made to scale the top. The camp is in sight, the maintenance is assured, but what about the additional dormitory space—the most important of all? There are thousands of friends, both white and colored, in this city, who have not contributed to this worthy cause; there are those who really desire to do so, but no doubt they have not yet been approached. When the goal is reached it will mean larger accommodations for the young colored girls away from home who are coming to Washington to study or to work, as well as for the girl at home. Mrs. Lindsey, of Grace Dodge Hotel, entertained Mrs. Helen Furqhar Sanford, director of the campaign, at tea one day this week. Miss Childers, of Howard University, brought sixteen students from the university who furnished music for the afternoon. A delightful hour was spent. An appeal was made for Phyllis Wheatley and a substantial gift sent to the Y.W.C.A. by the guests. An interesting and exciting feature of the campaign is that each team selected a make of automobile for its name—at present the Dodge is No. 1—this team is in charge of Miss F. E. F. Merritt; No. 2, Lincoln, Miss Marion P. Shaad; and No. 3, Hudson, Mrs. Milton Francis. It is planned by the captains to have an automobile parade as soon as the campaign closes, with the winning machine beautifully decorated in the lead.

These services are open to the public. A tea given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Peter M. Quander, 216 N street, northwest, Inst Sunday, for the benefit of the painting of the church, was attended by more than a, hundred persons, between the hours of 4 and 10 o'clock.

I suffered with my back and sides, too. Someone suggested that my mother give me Cardui, for which I am very thankful. I took 6 bottles at that time, and was soon strong and well and did not have severe headaches or pains at certain periods.

He was introduced to the conference by Rev. Walter Brooks, also an Anti-Saloon League advocate. He plead for the ministers to stand with the league in support of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Rev. W. H. Jernagin responded to the address and urged that the league make the whole Constitution, including the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the basis of its enforcement program. Said Dr. Jernagin, "The Negro ministry is ready to stand with the league, if the league is ready to stand with us. Let us enforce the whole Constitution." SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor, Rev. R. D.

JESUS TEACHES SINCERITY Read Mark 7:1-13 GOLDEN TEXT: Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. The Thought of the Lesson After feeding the multitudes, as we studied in last Sunday's lesson, Jesus commanded His disciples to take ship and go over the sea to Bethsaida while he remained on shore to send the multitudes away and then to follow his usual custom of solitary prayer. The disciples, obeying, found the wind contrary and the sea rough. They were gripped with fear and faced with danger. In the meantime Jesus was mindful of their plight and solicitous of their safety. About the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea. Embarking upon the boat he at once allayed their fears both of his identity—for they thought he was a ghost—and of the danger which they faced, the wind becoming calm and the sea placid. The news of Christ's presence spread rapidly after he reached the land of Gennesaret, and soon many sick had been brought to him to be healed. While engaged in this healing Jesus again encountered the Scribes and Pharisees who ever ends Friday night. Sunday afternoon, Rev. Harvey, pastor of Gethsemane Baptist Church, preached to the usher and auxiliary boards. Rev. J. S. Bankole-Wright, native African theological student, gave a short talk. The 8 o'clock sermon was delivered by a son-of-the church, Rev. William Gibson. MT. BETHEL B.Y.P.U. CONVEN- TION SENDS PRESIDENT AS DELEGATE The Mt. Bethel, B.Y.P.U. Convention Auxiliary, in its Spring Quarterly Meeting, held in Mt. Bethel Baptist Church last Sunday, March 11, at 3:15 p.m., voted to send its president, William R. Williams, to the Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress to be held in Milwaukee, Wis., this year. General discussion followed this decision, in which twelve of the fifteen presidents and vice-presidents of unions participated. Solos and other musical numbers were mixed in to make the program varied. On Tuesday night the students of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression rendered a program on the occasion of their Early Spring Recital. Among those who took part were Misses Wilhelmina Powell, Aleen Smith, Alma Russell, Novella E. Fleet, Thelma Dawkins, Goldie Marlow, Emmerhetta Wright, Lols Robinson, Lucia Datcher, Elose King, Mesdames Bessie Jackson, Katrina Johnson, and Robert Bowles. At the conclusion of the student numbers, the president, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, who was here from Halti, gave a talk on music and some of its possibilities. TO PREACH TO STUDENTS Rev, Charles P. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Warrenton, Va., will engage in regular services at the church at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. At 3 p.m. he will preach to the students and faculty of the Manassas Industrial School in the auditorium of the school, Manassas, Va. This service will be held under the auspices of the Phi Epsilon fraternity. LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE NOTES At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Life's Refining Fire." The choir will render special music. At 6:45 p.m. the senior Christian Endeavor Society will meet.

METROPOLITAN CHURCH TO SELECT NEW PASTOR After several unsuccessful attempts over the election of a new pastor to succeed the late Dr. M. W. D. Nerman, announcement has been made that the Metropolitan Baptist church is to make a new try Tuesday night, March 20. COMMUNITY CENTER BAND IN CONCERT A grand concert, given by the Community Center Band, will be held at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church, D street, between Second and Third streets, northwest, Friday evening, at 8:30 o'clock, March 23. The public is invited. ENON BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday services at the Eason Baptist Church, C street between Sixth and Seventh streets, southeast, includes Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., preaching at 11 a.m. by the pastor, Rev. L. C. Scott, whose sub- sought cause for which to accuse him and criticise his work. Such a cause seemed to be present itself in the fact that the disciples had eaten with defiled or unwashed hands and had thus made it evident that Jesus had laid little or no emphasis upon bare ceremony in religious worship and righteous living. To these Scribes and Pharisees outward cleansings and demonstrations were the heart of religion and life, and their traditions along these lines were deep-rooted, highly revered and strictly observed. For the disciples of Jesus to ignore so holy a tradition as that of pre-meal hand washing was to these religious leaders evidence of a saerligious leadership justifying their public criticism and active opposition. This practice of pre-meal hand washing was devoid of both sanitary are religious sincerity, being done with no inward penitence that would cleanse the heart, and too little water being used to cleanse the hands. Being charged with a breach of religious tradition by these Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus, countercharged them with religious hypocrisy. The implication of and lesson to be gotten from these counter-charges by Jesus are that while "man looketh on the outward appearance, the Lord looketh on the Heart" and desires sincerity rather than mere formality in human worship of Him. ject will be "The Road to Heaven, Don't Block the Traffic"; 3:30 p.m., the Lord's supper, at which time the pastor will preach another special sermon, "God's Publishing Company"; and 8:30 p.m. a musical program by the senior choir.

Gray There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.—John, 6:9-11. When Jesus was going about the country in which He lived doing good, He attracted great crowds to Him. The circumstances under which the text of this subject was produced were occasioned by a great multitude which had been attracted to Him by the wonderful works He had been doing, which, had caused them to follow Him out from town a good distance into the country where there was no food supply. When the question of feeding the people was raised by Jesus, the information was given that in the crowd there was a lad who had five loaves of bread and only two fishes, which under no process of reasoning could be considered to be a sufficient supply for the great number which had done from town. "Multum in parvo," much in little, that is God's truth—much from little, that is the way that God works. He takes the trifle and as it passes from His hands it is no longer little, no longer five and two, but much and great. God's method is to take small things and make of them great things. He takes Abraham, a wandering shepherd, and makes of him Israel. He takes twelve common men of Galilee, small fishermen, and makes of them the Church of Christ, with its four hundred million adherents, transforming human life, and filling the George Ross, John Kelley, and Clarence Thompson.

He takes just a hand full of despised religionists, the Pilgrim Fathers, voluntary exiles from their own and adopted home-land, and makes of them a world nation, rulers of the Western Hemisphere and the Western civilization. He takes struggling lads and makes of them presidents and merchant princes of that nation. God takes a vague idea that flits through some human brain and makes of it a great truth, or imbodies it in some invention that brings everlasting blessings and help to the human race. He takes a noble sentiment out of the heart and brain of some mortal man and sends it forth to be immortal in music, poetry, or art.

The Carlisle quint took the third and deciding game from the Columbia Lodge Elk Big Five by the decisive score of 31-26 at the Colonade last Monday night. Judge Smith's Purple and White clan had a bomb dropped into its quarters when Conway's Checks sprang the surprise. Hardly more than a dozen of the couple hundred who witnessed the proceedings were of the opinion that the Signpainters would come out on top. Near the close of the game a break between Joe Suter, Elk captain, and Tim Braddick, Carlisle leader, resulted in the Check captain being banished. After the contest blows are said to have passed in the dressing room. The mixup, however, did not reach serious proportions because of the intervention of the two teams. SHAW BEGINS REGULAR BASEBALL PRACTICE SHAW BEGINS REGULAR BASEBALL PRACTICE RALEIGH, N. C.—Coach Winslow got down to real business Saturday morning when after three weeks of preliminary training he sent his last year's regulars in battle against the Yannigans. Pop chose to let Jones do the finging for the regulars for the first four innings and his baffling speed ball kept the youngsters guessing and whifting the air in a frantic effort to hit him. The regulars jumped on Gwyn with both feet and sent him to all parts of the lot but he settled down in the third inning and kept them guessing for a while. The battle gave the students and on-lookers a glimpse of this year's prospects and all seemed to be well pleased. The regulars' line-up contained all the members of last year's team with the exception of those who graduated or did not return and all of them appeared to have their old batting eye. YOKELY BACK WITH LIVINGSTONE COLLEGE YOKELY BACK WITH LIVINGSTONE COLLEGE SALISBURY, N. C., Mar. 10.—A little over a week ago, Couch R. E. Clement called his charges out for the initial baseball practice of the year. All of the week was spent in batting practice and general outlines of the game. Most of the varsity squad has returned; only two players having been lost via the graduation route. The players are determined to make this a banner year. At the first official practice, W. J. Berry of the sophomore class, the stellar second baseman and lead-off man of last year's varsity, was elected captain. Quite a number of new players are showing up exceptionally well. Among them are: McCormick at first base, and Manus, pitcher, from the city high school; and Crockett, cr.cher, from Clinton College. The old master, Yokel, star hurler of the Baltimore Black Sox is back in uniform and is steadily whipping his arm into shape, Yokeyle is remembered because of his sensational victory over Smith University last year, in the annual Easter Menday Classic in Charlotte, N. C. He is ably assisted in his pitching duties by Lewis of last year's varsity and several new comers. ALPHA DRILLS The Alpha Phi Alpha team held its initial drill preparatory to entering the inter-frat league in the Howard gym Monday night. The Lightning Five is booked for its first engagement with Kappa, Saturday, March 24. Y. W. GIRLS HAND NEW SCHOOL TEAM A DEFEAT With Laura Arnold leading the barrage the Y.W.C.A. Girls handed the newly organized Arm-strong Night High School girls' team a severe lacing on the latters' court last Wednesday night, 37-10. This was the first game the Orange and Blue debutantes have played, and the superior floor and net work of the older and more experienced "Y" machine proved too tough an assignment. HOWARD BEATS KITTRELL Howard University closed its home basketball season by running up their largest score of the season against Kittrell College, last Thursday night. The game ended 61-10.

LOCAL "Y" GIRLS MEET MORGAN COLLEGE LOCAL "Y" GIRLS MEET MORGAN COLLEGE Two of the east's leading female basketball teams will take the floor in the opening clash of a two-game series at the Y. M. C.

With Anita Gant, Billie Vaughn, Olga Milton, Nettie Nelson, Jeanie Downing, Laura Arnold, Libby Frazier, Thelma Jones, Little Bits Proctor, Arline Johnson and Evelyn Peyton from which to pick, the local aggregation should prove a thorn in the side of the invading co-eds. Though the Y. W. C. A. quint has lost several of the star players who once performed for the Blue and White, they have been able to hold their own through the capable recruit material which Manager "Baby Lou" Jefferson succeeded in mobilizing. SHAW COPS N. CARO. The big Garnet machine of Shaw University is now resting upon its past record and every one seems pleased at the performance of the warriors on the court for the past season. The team met and defeated all of the leading college teams of the state which comprise the Big 5 colleges of the N.C.A.U., although the team was composed of new material with the exception of Black and Armstrong. The following is the All-N.C.A.U. five as picked by Coach Cook, from college teams. First Team Position Armstrong—Shaw ..... Forward Sing—Bricks ..... Forward O'Kelley—Durham State ..... Center Black—Shaw ..... Guard Baker—Shaw ..... Guard Honorable mention: Fisher, Kittrell; Long, Walker, Shaw; Jones, Bricks. Long, Durham State.

C.—Since February 20, Coach Irving Scales and his "Rampant Bulls" have been out on the old hill strutting their pre-season baseball stuff. More than sixty would-be-Babe-Ruths reported, but they have dwindled down to about twenty-five now, and Scales is putting the finishing touch on these preparatory to meeting A. & T. on the home lot on March 17. All the letter men from last season are out with the exception of "Big Mose" Ellis, a veteran moundsman, who failed to come back South last fall. Manager Williams fears no schedule and has already signed contracts as far North as Washington, and has a game pending with Morgan College at Baltimore. The slogan of the campus is "Watch the Bulls make baseball history." Visitor-"You seem to be a bright boy. I suppose you have a good place in your class at school." Boy-"Oh, yes. I sit right by the stove." SAMUEL H. LACY. Sports Editor Word comes to the writer that the athletic officials of Morgan College attempted to obtain the Howard University gymnasium for the Morgan Seminary game played (in Baltimore) last Friday night. They did not, however, as we know, succeed. The privilege was refused in a letter to Morgan College, signed by Dr. Edward P. Davis, chairman of the Athletic Board of Howard University. There was no controversy over dates. Morgan suggested in her request that any day during the week was suitable. The hitch came in the fact that Virginia Seminary is a member of the C. I. A. A., and, to use Dr. Davis' words, "that might reflect on Howard." Seemingly that is a rather filmsy excuse, and small of itself for an institution of the size of Howard University. If Howard does not care to comply with the regulations of the C. I. A. A., and would rather form another association, she should at least maintain friendliness and a spirit of co-operation with the original organization. What reflection—the writer would ask Dr. Davis—falls upon the American League ball club, the St. Louis "Browns," for allowing the National League ball club, the St. Louis "Cardinals," to use its park? Nearer—to restrict ourselves to the Negro—what reflection falls upon the churches of the Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian faiths to allow the Fisk Jubilee Singers or the Fisk Quartette, from a Congregational school, to sing from their platforms and rostrums? Howard cannot say that the school's facilities are for Howard alone. Too many Dumbar and Armstrong contests and exhibitions are staged in the Howard Stadium for that excuse to hold water. Furthermore, Howard, "the capstone of Negro education," should feel an obligation to assist her nearby and smaller institutions of learning. Morgan College, within wing-spread of Howard, should be made to feel that whenever she has an athletic contest of any kind scheduled for which she does not have accommodating facilities, Howard may be found with open arms extended. Especially is this true since Howard is a national institution, subsidized by appropriations from the National Congress. Howard, herself, makes that plea each year before the federal body, showing by statistics that she is educating the Negro from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc. She should not, however, lose sight of this fact when the appropriated money is secured. In an age when co-operation is being preached as the keynote in economics, government, politics, international relations, and education, Howard seems to be "bucking in the traces."

Mr. Lacy, however, has attempted to keep his "sports chatter" going, and his zealous though limited efforts will be found on this page. ARMSTRONG AND BLACK FLORIDA A. &. M. BEGINS CLOSE SHAW CAREERS BASEBALL WORKOUTS Two of Shaw's most brilliant athletes have closed their basketball careers in a heap of glory. They are Armstrong and Black and whenever their names have been heard it has brought unrest to opposing guards. The 1927 Fisk team of which both were members fought its way to the C. I. A. A. and State championships and this year found Black as the captain and, Armstrong, leading scorer in state and C. I. A. A. circles. This year's team even though it has not copped the big C. I. A. A. flag has been a world of trouble to the teams in North Carolina, and as a result it won again the state championship thus repeating in part its last year's performance. DUNBAR RALLIES, BEATS HOWARD HIGH "A garrison-finish" put the Dunbar High School basketball team on the long end of 27-25 engagement with Howard High School, of Wilmington, in the Dunbar gym, Wednesday of last week. "Jinks" Johnson, a member of the Community Athletic Association, led the last minute rally. ISONS TO CLASH WITH LIONS SATURDAY The Howard University basketball team will meet the quint from Lincoln University in the Howard University gymnasium Saturday evening, March 17, at 8:30 o'clock. The local team defeated Lincoln University at Chester, Pa., March 9., in a close game, the score being 25 to 23, and a battle royal is looked for in this return game. SECOND DUNBAR-ARMSTRONG NIGHT SCHOOL ENGAGE- MENT TONIGHT The second game of the Dunbar Armstrong Night High School series is carded for tonight at 9 o'clock in the Dunbar gym. In the first contest the Red and Black overcame their technical rivals with little difficulty, but Coach Westmoreland's charges promise a world of trouble to the Night Poets in this second meeting. --- --- 1234567890 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

BEGINS BASEBALL WORKOUTS TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-With a much crippled team, the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College boys are beginning to get in form for the coming baseball contests. Famcee has lost nearly all of last year's star players, and Coach Bragg is doing all in his power to mold out of such raw material as is present, a presentable team. Watching the boys in their workouts we have come to the conclusion that Florida A. & M. will make herself felt before the season is over. SCHOOL NOTES By Lanier R. Covington SHAW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO PRESENT "IOLANTHE" The Shaw Junior High School is preparing to render as its annual spring performance, the beautiful opera, "Iolanthe" in two acts by Gilbert and Sullivan. Mrs. Fanny H. Douglass of the music department, is directing the performance which will be staged at the Dunbar High School on the evening of May 5. Various committees have been appointed and are at work on the production. Shaw has in the past successfully rendered "All at Sea," "Martha," "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" and "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream." "Iolanthe" promises to eclipse all previous performances in talent and entertainment. DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL "The Dunbair Observer," the Dunbar publication, was represented at the annual convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, held last week at Columbia University, New York City, by Miss R.

DEFEAT AVENGE ON BALTIMORE COURT BALTIMORE, Md.-A capacity audience jammed New Albert Auditorium, here last Friday night to see Lanky Jones and his Morgan Bears sundue by a 43-30 score Ed Davis and his gang of Dragons from Virginia Seminary and College. The game was the second of the season between these two stellar teams and turned out to be a revenge win for the defeat the locals suffered earlier in the season on Virginia soil. Both the Dragons and their furry rivals from the skirt hills of Baltimore took the floor fully confident. The Hurt clan believed it—the highly toutec Morganites superior and the latter was sure the Preachers could not duplicate their 20-12 victory at Lynchburg, Va. From the-opening whistle to the battle's close the winner was never in doubt. Coach 'Drew's charges jumped into an early lead which was never threatened or overcome. Lanky Jones and Slim Henderson, opposing pivotmen, and themselves the leading scorers of the battling hordes were the center of all eyes, as the contest started. The Morgan captain had his eye keyed, but his opponent found the locals' defense too much for him to solve. asm and in attendance. French songs, a folk dance, and the minuet were the several features of a lively meeting on Monday afternoon. The teachers of Spanish, of the colored schools, met at Dunbar on Monday, when Mrs. H. Q. Jackson, chairman of the committee on vocabulary standardization, presented to her colleagues the report of that committee. ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL The chracter-building program was formally launched by the students at the regular mid-week assembly. The ideals selected by a joint committee of teachers and students were honesty, conduct, health, cleanliness, scholarship, punctuality, and language. Honesty was emphasized. Paul Venture spoke on "The Meaning of Honesty"; Virginia Marshall, "Honesty in the Classroom"; William Epps, "Honesty and Its Value"; Elizabeth Jenkins, "Honesty the Best Policy"; James Cawthorne, "Honesty in Sports." Principal Houston gave an analysis of each of the seven traits. The Junior Red-Cross Society has been given a place in the activities of the school. Two sections have already reported 100 per cent enrollment, while other sections show a high enrollment percentage. Sample work done by students is on display in the school library. Mrs. M. J. Matthews is the teacher in charge of the activity. The Big Sisters Club gave a St. Patrick's party to the freshmen girls who entered in February. After a number of games, refreshments were served. The officers of the club are composed of honor roll senior girls, with Louise Sayles, president; Ethel Gunnell, vice-president; Lelia olean, secretary, and Saluca Winder, treasurer. At the regular monthly faculty meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Ernest R. Amos; instructor in music, discussed "Some of the Problems in High School Music," treating on the matter of equipment, class organization, and co-operation. INSIDE VIEWS OF DUNBAR Class Reunion Planned A class reunion of the graduates of Dunbar for the past ten years is being planned by Mr. Milton and Mr. Nixon, of the art department. It will be held in the auditorium of Dunbar. It is under the supervision of J. C. Wright. There will be a beautiful background (which is now being erected), for the panorama, in which living actors will depict the different phases of life work chosen by the graduates. Junior Red Cross Active The Junior Red Cross was reorganized throughout the school system during the past week of March. Posters were sent to all sections and the pupils urged to subscribe to the Red Cross Book. The girls will make dolls and other novelties which will be sent to the "old world." Year Book Staff Busy The Year Book staff is busy making preparations for the printing of the Year Book. The staff met Monday and held a discussion. The pictures of the members of the senior class are being made. The book promise to be interesting this year. The Murray Brothers' plant will print the book. Music Appreciation Taught Dunbar is giving to the students advantages of a lifetime in teaching the real value of music appreciation. The orthophonic victoria in the assembly is played for fifteen minutes each assembly hour. Teacher Recovered Mrs. M. S. Hurst, a teacher of English at Dunbar High School, who had been ill for the past two weeks, was recovered sufficiently Wednesday to return to her duties. Mrs. Hurst, who is a much loved teacher, was remembered with flowers by her co-teachers and pupils. NEVAL THOMAS WRITES SUPERINTENDENT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION Neval H.

Because man does not know what may happen, or when, he has kept records of untoward events, and forced them to reveal their numerical secrets. Once convinced that law and order reigned in the whole universe, MAN BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR THAT LAW AND THE REGULARITY OF THE ORDER: Harnessed lightning now carries the human voice to the other side of the world, and takes the heat out of food and water to prevent them from harboring death-dealing poisons. Childbirth has been changed into a brief, dreamless sleep; and smallpox and diphtheria only use the unresisting patient's body as a place where rival disease germs fight a short battle for supremacy over the human heart. Gas from the earth is made so to annoy the air that it-forgets to exercise its gravitation pull, and the aviator, by making a cone with his parachute, as the base, gently floats down to safety from a thousand feet of elevation. More Negro Owned Insurance Companies Operate in Washington than any other city. LIFE INSUR MORE THAN 28 COMPANIES NOW WRITING INSURANCE "The business of life insurance is the largest that is owned, operated and controlled by Negroes. It is not only the largest, but is the most scientific and complicated, and requires the greatest skill in management. It gives protection, service and employment in a larger degree and truer sense to mapind than any other kind or class of business," says C. M. Hayes, statistician of the National Negro Insurance Association. In order to value the business of life insurance conducted among Negroes, by our own companies at its true worth; to appreciate the many and varied services rendered; to understand it in its composite form; and that the magnitude of the opportunity it offers to Negro youth may be realized more fully, the National Negro Insurance Association was organized. While all of the Negro owned insurance companies are not members of the organization, a majority of them are. The organization aims to bring the companies closer together and by co-operation, to put over an educational program for the benefit of all. Statistics of twenty-eight companies surveyed by Mr. Hayes, president of Gibraltar Health and Accident Insurance Co. of Indianapolis, Ind., show, according to a news release made by Mr. Hayes, an increase during the year of 1926 of $1,620,124 in gross income, and an increase of $281,452 in the net income over 1925. The statistics also show an increase of $2,359,724 in gross assets; $1,592,703 in admitted assets; $258,000 increase in the combined capital stock; $3,537,877 increase in surplus-reserve to policy holders, and an increase of $78,068 in the amount of real estate owned in 1926 over 1925. Mr. Hayes further points out in his release that there was an increase of only $71,250 in the amount of sick and accident claims paid in 1926 and 1925 even though the same statistics show an increase of $17,602,237 in the amount of sick and accident business in force as of December 31, 1926 over 1925. He also shows that there was an increase of $325,248 in the amount of industrial life claims paid during 1926 over 1925. There was an increase in the industrial life business in force as of December 31, 1926 over 1925 of $23,103,338. Mr. Hayes further points out that there was an increase of $236,910 in the amount of claims paid on ordinary business in 1926 over the previous year. He also points out that there was an increase of $38,578,425 in the amount or ordinary business in force December 31, 1926 over 1925. The amount of increase in business in force for all classes over 1925 was $79,288,000. He also shows from the comparative statement that there was $9,483,749 more sick and accident business written during 1925 than during 1925 $15,487,626 more industrial life business; $24,579,722 more ordinary business. The amount of increase in business written in 1926 over 1925 for all classes was $49,261,097; there also was an increase in the number employed. An estimated increase in the amount of business in force in the United States on colored lives was given as $426,000,000. It was also shown from the reports submitted that approximately $141,549.55 of the cost of management was paid for printing and advertisement, of which amount $115,279.34 was paid to Negro printers. Mr. Hayes says that reports from twenty-two companies out of twenty-eight, showed that the average net rate of interest earned on all investments for 1926 was 54 per cent. The class of securities in which investments were made which brought the largest net earnings were real estate mortgages. Thus these figures easily demon- nstrate that Negro owned insurance companies rank as the greatest business achievement yet attained by the race. Washington Tribune FIRST NEGRO INSURANCE SECTION The Washington Tribune presents, this week, the first insurance section ever carried by a Negro newspaper. This section is made possible by the newly created spirit of co-operation as exemplified by the Insurance Managers Association, of this city. The importance of Washington as an insurance center is evidenced by the fact that more companies owned by Negroes operate here than in any other city in the world. All told, there are ten such companies doing business here. Nine of these are life insurance companies (sick and accident companies). The other one is a fire insurance company. Washington is the home of two companies—the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, which was started here over Negro-owned company in the world; and the Federal Life Insurance Company, which was organized here six years ago. The National Benefit is located in its own building, 609 F street, northwest, with a branch office on U street, northwest. The Federal is housed in the Lewis Building at Eleventh and U streets, northwest. "Intelligent Selfishness" "Intelligent Selfishness" "Court man be secure, his days would endure For age and a thousand years. For aye and a thing might he do; what things might he think; Taking the stars for his first puzzle, man kept the record of their relations and movements for so many centuries that they have surrendered to his refusal to give up the search; today they tell us the time of day, or our position on the uncharted and landless seas, at night. By measuring the rainfall and stop-watching the winds, man has made it possible to call the distant vessel ahead of the storm, and to warn the farmer twenty-four hours before the clouds sneak over the horizon. A dash of nitrogen kills the ravenous fire by smothering out its necessary oxygen; while yellow sunlight tans the universal white plague into a healthy glow and a keen appetite for food, air, rest, and recreation. Man, by taking thought, has, indeed, not added a cubit to his stature, just as the Bible said he would not, BUT he has learned how both to increase and to decrease his weight as well as to keep it normal, and the general average of human life has been lengthened by a score of years for those who used to die under fifty. The potter's field lies empty and the students' dissecting table holds an imitation cadaver for instruction in anatomy, because every man now owns a place to rest his dead body, even though he merely rents a room to rest his weary form. INSURANCE DID IT! INSURANCE HAS MADE DEATH MERELY THE CHANGE TO A PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR THE PHYSICAL BODY; IT HAS SO WIPED OUT FEAR AND SORROW THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE LIVING LONGER AND MORE JOYFULLY. INSURANCE IS POOLED RISK. BECAUSE ALL DO NOT DIE AT THE SAME TIME, THEY POOL SMALL PORTIONS OF THEIR EARNINGS IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS CALLED OUT OF THE GAME OF LIFE BEFORE THE OTHERS IN HIS POOL. What man would not lose three meals this month to remove the possibility of being entirely without meals next month? That is precisely what insurance asks us to do. The ten dollars that you pay as a premium now, buys the one thousand dollars which the insurance company pays when the event happens, later. The insurance company takes the risk because it knows from scientifically compiled records just what chances it assumes for burning property like your's in a brick house. The ten dollars you pay every three months will be paid back to you as a one thousand-dollar endowment at the end of fifteen years, be- Members of the Insurance Managers Association of Washington, D.C.

NAT'NAL BENEFIT HAS ACTIVE U STREET BRANCH The National Benefit Life Insurance Company in keeping with its expansion program, has established an efficient and a rather unusual departmental service in its branch office, at 1209 U street, northwest. The Mixed Department which occupies the entire first floor is under the management of Claude B. Amos. Many Washingtonians will remember Mr. Amos as a native son. During his school days he worked, from time to time, at the home office. About five years ago he cast his lot with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company as manager at Camden, N. J. The character of his work there was such that he was given su- TECUMSEH BRADSHAW Manager Ordinary Department: National Benefit, Washington branch office. pervision of Philadelphia with much larger responsibilities. The need for a model mixed department in this city prompted company executives to return Mr. Amos to his native home. In the brief space of a few months, he has surrounded himself with twenty-two well-trained salesmen, who are consistently bringing in a volume of new business and holding the old. From every direction policy holders are expressing their satisfaction. Associated with Mr. Amos in the building of the Mixed Department are Assistant Managers E. L. Harris, E. D. McLain and L. A. Porter. Miss Marguerite Lemos and Mrs. M. B. Robinson are secretary-cashier and clerk, respectively. The Ordinary Department activities require the entire second floor of the branch office building. It handles all facets of the acquisition. (Continued on page 9.) LIFE INSURANCE THE DISCOVERER AND LAWGIVER (Ass't. Secy-Manager of the Federal Life Insurance Co.)

The greatest organized institution, helping to expand and extend that discovery and to establish it as a A. CLIFFORD T. TAYLOR Secretary-Manager Federal Life Insurance Company, Washington, D. C. practical fact is life insurance. The primeval man did not discover himself because he looked for relief from external sources only. He could understand no help that was not external and mysterious. If he were ill, he wanted a miracle performed; if he were hungry, he tried to steal his food from somebody else; if he were weak, he bowed the knee and bent his neck under the dominance of someone or something which he thought could bring him protection and safety. He was afraid of death because life had no meaning. He was everlastingly looking for external authority. As soon as the law of mortality was applied by life insurance it became a discoverer of the needs of man, and then, by making its appeal to the moral law written in the heart of man, it became the moral lawgiver. It says "you ought." Am I the keeper of those whose support I have undertaken? "Most assuredly—to the utmost extent of my ability" is the answer of every manly heart—of every honest heart. How? Life insurance gives the only sure method: (Continued on page 8) SO. AID SOCIETY TO INCREASE ITS CAPITAL STOCK The annual financial report of the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc. has been compiled and filed with the insurance departments, and a comprehensive summary is carried in this paper. The report shows that this corporation did a gross business of over a million dollars during 1927 despite the fact that it operates at this time only in the state of Virginia, and the District of Columbia, and that it confines its operation solely to the industrial sick benefit, or weekly health plan of insurance. A copy of the report will be furnished to any interested person, either by the district office, located in the corporation's building at Seventh and T streets, northwest, Wash- P.

This corporation has made an enviable record in the insurance world through its unique insurance contract which provides protection to its policy holders during periods of illness or accident disability, and a death benefit for funeral expenses, all for one small premium,—also by its liberal treatment and service to policy holders. It is significant that this corporation did not pay out one penny during the whole year for legal expenses in contesting any claim or payment to any of its claimants. Because the management and field staff co-operate with all worthy race endeavors, this corporation is frequently pointed out by the supervisory officials, students, of insurance, and informed persons, as an example of what is best and most serviceable in the industrial (Continued on page 8) DO YOU HAVE A POLICY IN A NEGRO COMPANY?

From small acorns, many giant oaks have grown. So widespread are the companies scattered over the country that there are very few states where any number of Negroes live, that there are not several companies operating. The following is a list of the more important of these companies: Afro-American Life Insurance Co., Jacksonville, Fla. Atlanta Life Insurance Co., Atlanta, Ga.

LOCAL MEN HERE ORGANIZE FIRST MANAGERS ASSOC. LOCAL MEN HERE ORGANIZE FIRST MANAGERS ASSOC. (President of The Insurance Managers Association of D.C.) The Insurance Managers Association of the District of Columbia was organized after repeated urging and invitation to "start something" on the part of the managers of several of the insurance companies. We felt the need of an organization that would permit us to have an interchange of ideas, an organization where there would be friendship and loyalty and thus eliminate the "If" and "But." We wanted an organization in which M. S. S. "Co-operation" would take the place of "Competition." We knew by bringing together a group of men in the same line of business the only competition would be with respect to the extent and efficiency of the service. Regardless of what any man who is selling life insurance may think, or say about, or strive to do to the other fellow or other company he can not but be making friends and making prospects for us all if, happily he is making friends for himself and for his company. The Managers Association was organized to co-operate with companies who were striving to extend and broaden the service that insurance renders. That which interests managers may not interest individulas, and yet the fact of a Managers Association, we felt, would be a big boost toward an underwriters association. The General Managers Association is interested in co-operative advertising. I mean that our advertising would show that insurance is a commodity of interests which makes it, as an institution, the plus of all the safety there is in common methods, safeguards and restrictions and of combined co-operative capital, surplus and legal reserve; plus the strength of the sum and ability, character and intergrity of all the men and women engaged in conducting its affairs and promoting its interests. We have through the columns of the Washington Tribune endeavored to show what is meant by "Co-operative advertising"—one reason for a Managers Association. Surely we are salesmen, but of what? A plan, a service,—but not a commodity. We must compete with each other—but how? E. co-operating and supporting each other, and in giving service, and building and strengthening the institution of life insurance, but not by opposition and rivalry in the matter of partonage for our individual company. It would be really interesting to attend our luncheon every Thursday at 1:30 o'clock. We find at this luncheon an opportunity to talk over current topics and at the same time emphasize and strengthen our friendship one with the other. We also discuss a paper on a specific subject whereby we are able to keep pace with the business we represent. There are so many things that interest only the managers that we have not yet become interested (Continued on page 10) SUPREME LIFE FIRST TO START IN THE NORTH The Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Compay was organized in 1921 after a hard fight, and in face of every conceivable odds. But, guided by the hands of men who were thoroughly experienced in their work, the company has more than justified its sponsors. Today it has a paid in capital of $100,000. In 1926 its surplus was $10,092.50. It is one of the fastest growing companies in the field. Plans are already under way for extending its territory. Eight important states will be entered as soon as the capital stock can be increased to that required by the several states. Already the stock holders have authorized the capital stock increased to $200,000. T. K. Gibson is president of the company, and A. P. Bentley is secretary. The company now operates in Ohio, Arkansas, West Virginia, Tennessee and the District, of Columbia. It owns its home office building in Columbus, Ohio, and has recently compelled a branch office building in Cincinnati. The local office of the company is in charge of W. L. Stevenson.

The underlying laws of life insurance were the underlying principles leading to the formation of The Federal Life Insurance Company. Bringing together on its board of directors a group of successful business men and women who could ill spare the time they give unselfishly to the growing enterprise, and numbering among its stock holders the most cosmopolitan group found on the roster of any public utility, this company, through service and satisfaction, has merited, in its fullest sense, the use of its slogan—"The company of service and satisfaction—by the people, of the people and for the people."

MOORE, 1901 18th St., N.W. Decatur 2117 SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA, HOW TO REDUCE MORTALITY IS BIG PROBLEM (Statistician for the National Negro Insurance Association) In view of the high rate of mortality among colored people who are insured in Negro owned companies, the questions that naturally present themselves are: Is death preventable? Can life be conserved? The experiences of every insurance man who has gone into the homes of policy holders has taught him that there was much preventable sickness and death. It is said that as many as one-half of the deaths occurring could be postponed for many years through life extension work and with an intelligent and active health program. The high mortality among our people and policy holders makes a program for the conservation of life imperative. Programs of life conservation that contains important factors in death prevention have been placed in operation by many of the leading insurance companies of the countries. It has been found that many policy holders die because of the lack of adequate care in sickness. To overcome this condition many companies established free nursing service for their sick members, and they report their experience as being very favorable. One white insurance company reports that the free nursing service of that company made 1,500,000 visits to 300,000 sick policy holders; and that thirteen per cent of the nursing service is extended to colored people, which is a little higher than the proportion of colored persons insured in the industrial department of the company. Other factors that go to make up are, free medical examinations at stated periods; free clinics; and the distribution of leaflets describing the various diseases, their course and prevention, especially whenever there is an epidemic of disease prevalent in a community. Other factors that go to make up the program for life conservation, "INTELLIGENT SELFISHNESS" (Continued from page 7) the company knows from the records is men of your age, physical condition, or history. longer the common lot of man, because the power of every man to leave and and while alive.

Put five cents a week in the bank for your child, and it may draw five dollars out after two years; buy INSURANCE for that same amount and receive directions as to how to keep your child well and healthy, and one hundred and fifty dollars for expenses in case the child dies. By the experience gained in combining to insure against the certainty of death at an uncertain moment, and against the risk of fire with its uncertain destruction, and against a possible catastrophe on water with attendant losses of cargo and bottom, man has come to find it practicable and expedient to insure against every contingency and to pool possible losses against every kind of risk. Modern life regards the development and universality of INSURANCE AS THE MOST PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE, "BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS." The time was when mourners asked, "What were his last words?" To-day, friends and the world want to know, "How much insurance did he carry?" INSURANCE IS MAN'S WINNING ACE IN THE GAME OF THIS UNCERTAIN LIFE and ITS INCREASING ELEMENTS OF RISK. If you believe you are immune from all danger and have a long time to live, then INSURE and win by being paid a large bonus for your savings. If you are uncertain, by all means INSURE, and protect yourself or your family, or loved ones or society.

MUTUAL GREW FROM HUMBLE START The story of the steady growth in the size and service of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association from "a desk in a corner" and "a special meeting to pay the first death claim" to the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, with the well-earned titles of "The Largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the World" and "A Company with a Soul and a Service," contains all the component parts of action and emotion in life's greatest drama, "The survival of the fittest." P. S. S. G. C. SPAULDING President North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association was formed in October, 1898, to engage in the business of life insurance. The organizers invested fifty dollars each as capital stock and business began on April 1, 1899, in Durham County. For some reason the company did not succeed. After things had lagged for a few months, a meeting was called and it was decided that the company could not proceed further. Two of the organizers, however, got together and agreed that the company could be made to go and that they were not willing to have the plan abandoned. Dr. A. M.

The future of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company is both opportunity and challenge; opportunity to further Negro business, protect the lives and homes of our people, provide employment for coming generations, and to promote their health and general welfare; challenge to keep the faith, maintain high integrity and efficiency, and grow in strength and service, mindful of the experiences of past trials and appreciative of the wisdom and security of present day success. In a recent statement made by C. C. Spauling he said: "We cannot think of the faithful, sacrificing policyholders of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and not have a feeling of great admiration and sincere gratitude. "And this tribute of gratitude is not the empty prattle of oft practised flattery, nor the capjolery of speech which runs easily to insincerity. Rather it is the earnest expression of appreciation, that deeper appreciation which adds to the sense of value the cordial feeling of kind and gracious acknowledgment. "In a world hurrying impatiently on its many errands of pleasure and gain, it is well that we do more often pause to take inventory of those intangible assets, pure precious and more lasting than all material wealth, among which in bold outline should be inscribed gratitude."
