CLINTON FLANNAGAN ESCAPES FROM LORTON PENITENTIARY CARBOLIC ACID BURNS CAUSE MAN'S DEATH, HOLD WOMAN FOR GRAND JURY FIRST in Advertising and Circulation A story of frenzied jealousy resulting in the death of Daniel Freedman, 45 years old, 435 N street, northwest, from carbolic acid burns, was pieced together by doctors from Freedmen's Hospital and police at the District morgue last Saturday when an inquest into Freedman's death was held. Emma Ford, who lived with Freedman, was held for the action of the grand jury in connection with his death. The carbolic acid was thrown on Freedman while he lay asleep on February 22. He died at Freedmen's Hospital on March 16. According to Detective Raymond B. Carroll of the second precinct, he was not assigned to the case until 9 days after the acid had been thrown on Freedman. He visited the man at Freedmen's Hospital. Running Around Freedman told him, Detective Carroll testified, that Emma Ford accused him of "running around" with other women and they got in an argument. That afternoon he went out and had several drinks. He returned home about 6 6'clock that afternoon under the influence of liquor, and the argument about his paying attention to other women was renewed. Finally he lay down and when to sleep. When he awoke there was a burning sensation in the pelvic portion of his body. This was about 6:30 p.m. About 11 o'clock that night the Freedmen's Hospital ambulance was called and Freedman was removed to the hospital. When Emma Ford was arrested, Detective Carroll said, she told him that Freedman came home in that condition. At the inquest she would make no statement. Dr. William R. Adams, an interne at Freedmen's Hospital, testified that Freedman while delirious told him practically the same story that Detective Carroll recited. Dr. Richard E. Banks, a staff physician, testified that death was due to the carbolic acid burns. PORTERS ARE UNDAUNTED BY I.C.C. DECISION PORTERS ARE UNDAUNTED BY I.C.C. DECISION According to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission that it has no jurisdiction over the Pullman Porters' case has only stirred and aroused a flaming determination on the part of the porters to fight to the finish. Randolph points out that the dissenting opinion of three commissioners, Eastman, Lewis and Aitchison shows that there is doubt as to the tenability and soundness of the decision. Henry T. Hunt, counsel for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, indicates a probability of calling for a reopening of the case. The present program of the Brotherhood, according to the General Organizer, is to proceed with the creation of an emergency as provided by the Railway Labor Act. This will require the appointment of an Emergency Board by the President of the United States, whose duty it shall be to investigate the entire dispute. DRIVER EXONERATED IN WOMAN'S DEATH DRIVER EXONERATED IN WOMAN'S DEATH A coroner's jury Tuesday exonerated Melvin A. Phillips, 2418 N street, northwest, an employee of the Government Printing Office, of the death of Mrs. Ella Davies. An automobile which he was driving struck Mrs. Davies at Thirteenth street and Rhode Island avenue, northwest, last Sunday. She died at Emergency Hospital on Monday. The coroner's jury found that her death was the result of an accident. Attorney John H. Wilson represented Phillips.

LOGKE BACK FROM LECTURES AT FISK Alain LeRoy Locke, professor of philosophy, Howard University, returned last Sunday from Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., where he spent the winter quarter as a visiting professor. He gave two courses of extension lectures at Fisk University. One was on race contacts and inter-racial relations. The other was on the Negro in American literature. His lectures are said to have aroused considerable interest among the students and teachers at Vanderbilt University, the George Peabody College for Teachers and Scarcritt College as well as Fisk University. He says he had a most interesting experience and enjoyed the work tremendously. He was on leave of absence from Howard University. Dr. Locke was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University from 1907 to 1910. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1910 to 1911. He received the degree of doctor of philosophy from Harvard University, his alma mater, in 1918. FORMER INTERNES HERE ON LOMAX HOSPITAL STAFF BLUEFIELD, W.

Cohen, comptroller of customs, New Orleans, La., called at the White House on March 14 to pay his respects to the President. After remaining here several days, Mr. Cohen left for his on March 15. He and Emil Kuntz, the Republican committeeman for Louisiana, have broken and a bitter fight is being made to oust Mr. Cohen from the Republican party councils in Louisiana and to keep him from attending the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., in June. PUBLISHED WEEKLY THE NNAGAN E LARGE CROWD ATTEND PRESENTATION OF AWARDS A large crowd witnessed the presentation of the Harmon Awards to Dr. James H. Dillard, of Charlotteville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, and Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist of Chicago. Dr. Dillard received his in person but Mr. Rosenwald was unable to attend on account of his wife's health. His telegram of regrets was read as was also a letter from him. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the Washington Inter-racial Commission, accepted the award for Mr. Rosenwald. The presentations were made by Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Harlan Fiske Stone, who also acted as master of ceremonies. Dr. Mordecaia W. Johnson, president of Howard University, delivered an address of appreciation, for the services rendered the race by Dr. Dillard and Mr. Rosenwald. The Howard University Glee Club rendered three spiritual numbers. SUES OWNER OF APT. HOUSE FOR PIERCING WALL Through Attorney Joseph P. Neale, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Lewis, 1745 T street, northwest, filed suit Wednesday against Lawrence Koenigsbreger and Eugene Young, white, owners of the Livingstone Apartments, for failure of the latter two to pay for the use of a party wall on the east side of the Lewis home. The apartment house owners, according to the declaration of the plaintiffs, recently built a fire escape in a 29-inch space between the east wall of their home and the west wall of the apartment. The erection of the fire escape necessitated the driving of iron bars in the walls of the Lewis house for support. The Lewis east wall is a party wall, being built directly on the line dividing the lots. While they admit that it was legitimate for the apartment house owners to use it, the plaintiffs contend that the use of it has not been paid for. They declare that the defendants have refused to pay for such use. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are suing for $674.84 which they claim is the amount set by the building inspector as half the value of the wall. NAT'L MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE TO MEET The National Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance of America, will meet here March 27 to 30, inclusive. All meetings will be held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street, between 12th and 13th streets. The opening session will be held Tuesday, the 27, at 12 o'clock noon. This will be the second meeting of the alliance since its founding by Rev. C. L. Russell, who is president. The governors of many states have appointed state representatives to attend the convention. Among the delegates expected are some of the foremost churchmen of the race. Among the subjects to be discussed are: What can be done in a national way to promote good will between the races? Do the professional men support the church? What can the church do to check crime? The biological meaning of race. The comparative importance of the fourteenth, fifteenth, and eighteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution. Contributions of the black race to civilization. Among the prominent speakers are: Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Atlanta, Ga.; Dean Kelly Miller, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University; Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York; Dr. Carter G. Woodson; Bishops R. A. Carter, E. D. W. Jones and J. W. Walls. Sessions will be held day and night. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1928 NEGRO DELEGATE SUBJECT STILL UNDECIDED KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 28—A query as to whether Negro delegates and visitors to the Republican national convention would be denied the privilege of visiting white delegates in their hotel rooms was presented Conrad Mann, chairman of the local convention committee, Monday. Mr. Mann explained that the problem was for the hotels to handle. Local usage which does not permit regular use of hotels to Negroes, other than hotels for Negroes, would govern, he guessed. The Negro delegates will be quartered by a local committee of Negroes assigned to the duty. "It is my personal view," Mr. Mann says, "the Negro situation offers nothing different in convention times than in the usual case. I suppose Negroes desiring to visit white delegates in their rooms on convention business will be accorded the hotels' facilities as usual. When the convention was solicited, we made it plain that Negro delegates would find ample housing and restaurant facilities." STRIKE VOTE TO BE TAKEN BY PORTERS NEW YORK, Mar. 22.—As a result of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that it did not have jurisdiction over the case of the Pullman porters, a decision which, according to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, is unsound and untenable, the organization is definitely preparing to create an emergency. The first step in the creation of an emergency is the taking of a strike vote, according to the general organizer. "A strike vote, however," says Randolph, "doesn't mean that the porters will necessarily strike. A strike vote is intended to show to what extent the men are committed to their demands, how firmly they believe in their cause, and how many are willing to strike if necessary to achieve their demands." The strike ballot, according to Randolph, is a secret ballot which the Pullman Company will not see. Only the United States Meditation Board will review the strike vote in order to determine the existence of the emergency. The Pullman Company will have no opportunity to victimize a porter because he voted for the strike, since it will not be able to find out who did or did not vote. The strike ballot will be investigated by the Mediation Board just as the membership of the Brotherhood was investigated by the Board. CITIZENS ASS'N SET-UP AT GIDDINGS SCHOOL the citizens living in the vicinity of the J. R. Giddins School met March 17, and organized a citizen's association. A large number attended the first meeting and showed considerable interest in the organization and association. The following officers were elected: Thomas H. Lloyd, president; C. A. Robinson and Dr. F. W. Gray, vice-presidents; N. B. Hudson, secretary; Mrs. Georgia Wood, assistant secretary; William B. Wilson, financial secretary; Albert N. Aiken, treasurer; Rev. George A. Fisher, Jr., chaplain; James E. Lanham, ceaseant-at-arms; Health Committee; Dr. F. W. Gray, Dr. Porter B. Lennox, Rev. George A. Fisher, Jr., Mrs. Mary Adams and Mrs. Georgia Woods. The association went on record as favoring the establishing of a dental clinic in a school in that section. They also asked that caution signs be placed on streets passing the Giddins School and also asked that more police protection be given during the opening and closing of school and at restress. The regular meeting of the association will be held the third Monday of each month in the Lincoln School. BELIEVED AIDED BY FRIENDS IN "GET-AWAY" BELIEVED AIDED BY FRIENDS IN "GET-AWAY" Clinton T. Flannagan, an impostor who posed as a real estate operator,* until his conviction on a charge of forgery, escaped from CLINTON T. FLANNAGAN, who escaped from Lorton prison. the Lorton Penitentiary, Tuesday night. Flannagan was serving a four-year term. The honor system prevails at Lorton so Flannagan's escape was not noticed until the check-up at 10 o'clock Tuesday night. The last visitor to Flannagan was a man who visited the prison Sunday. It is believed that some of his friends were awaiting for him in a car on the Richmond-Washington highway which runs near the prison. Notice of his escape has been sent to all cities in the East. His early capture is anticipated by the local detective bureau. Flannagan was indicted on two charges by the grand jury on May 26. He left the city before his arrest but was captured in August in New York City and brought back here and placed in jail. He was accused of forging the name of Mrs. Violet B. Warfield, the wife of Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital to five promissory notes, a deed of trust and a check. These forgeries were in connection with the placing of an unauthorized loan on property belonging to Mrs. Warfield at 1901 Eleventh street. Mrs. Warfield had no knowledge of the bogus transaction. A plea of guilty was entered before Justice McCoy by Flannagan. He was sentenced to four years in prison in November. He had been at Lorton a little over three months. In again, out again, can truly be said of Flannagan. PARENT-TEACHER ASS'N OF MOTT MEETS The Lucretia Mott Parent-Teacher Association会用 Tuesday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m. The principal, Miss M. L. Washington, outlined the work that is being done in the Mott Health Clinic. This clinic is supported by the Antituberculosis Society, of which Rev. D. E. Wiseman, Mr. Duffel, and Mr. Hunter were among the founders. The pupils of the clinic, under the direction of I. C. Lewis, presented a playlet, entitled "A Costly Party." The suffering that attends a failure to observe the rules of health was the theme of the playlet. The president, Rev. Wiseman, who has recently returned from a trip to the West Indies, gave an illustrated lecture on his trip. More than one hundred views were shown depicting scenes in St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. ARMOND W. SCOTT, WILL ADDRESS ELKS Armond W. Scott, Esq. will deliver an address at a special service for Elks at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, M street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, northwest, Sunday, March 25 at 8 8 o'clock p.m. All lodges and temples of Elks have been invited. LORTON P U. S. SUPREME COURT AD- JOURNS WITHOUT GIV- ING DECISION IN SHRINER CASE The Supreme Court of the United States adjourned Monday without having handed down a decision in the case of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North America (white) against the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (colored) which came before it on a writ of certiorari from the Supreme Court of Texas. This is the second recess of the Supreme Court since this case was argued on January 12 and 13. The Supreme Court adjourned on January 23 and resumed its sessions on February 20. It will end its present recess on April 9. If the Supreme Court should affirm the decision of the Texas Supreme Court when it decides the Shrine case, colored persons will be enjoined from holding themselves out as Shriners and wearing the emblems and insignia of the order. FRANCIS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATED Dedicational exercises of the John R. Francis Junior High School were held in the school auditorium, Tuesday night. Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, of the Board of Education presided. The address of dedication was delivered by District Commissioner Sidney F. Tallafero. The speech was in the form of an eulogy to the late Dr. Francis, for whom the building is named. Mr. Tallafero paid tribute to the leadership in education of Dr. Francis. Mrs. Mary A. McNeill, of the Board of Education responded. Dr. F. W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, spoke on the value of the junior high school, and the part it plays in the modern trend of education. The work of Dr. Francis as a member of the Board of Education (1886-89), and his influence in the establishment of trade classes in the school system, was the subject of a talk by Robert N. Mattingly, principal of the school. Other brief talks were made by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkinson, Mrs. Carolie F. Cooke, and Mrs. Sarah F. Mason, president of the Francis Home and School Association. The Terpsichorean Club, under the direction of Miss J. Adrienne Marshall, presented a sketch of classic dances and interpretive poses prior to the formal program. The musical program, under the direction of Miss Virginia Williams, featured vocal renditions of "To You" and "My Creed" by Charles Lomack, a student in the ninth grade. The Burleigh Singers and the Will Marion Cook Chorus also rendered popular selections. Y. M. C. A. PLANS RECORD MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Y. M. C. A. PLANS RECORD MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Plans have been perfected for a membership drive by the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A. The Baltimore Y.M.C.A., stung by the defeat last year in the joint membership campaign, has issued to the local "Y" a challenge worded most confidently. Washington believes that 500 new members in Washington will be sufficient to keep Baltimore silent for another year and has set this number as its goal. In the ranks of the local workers a little war is brewing all by itself. The National Benefit Division under John R. Pinkett and composed of well-known "go-getters" has declared that this year will be no exception and that, as in the past, the division will be fa: ahead when the last day, April 5, comes and goes. Most formidable competition is expected from the cabinet division under the leadership of Eugene Davidson. Captain Davidson has issued a bold challenge and has declared that no matter how good the redoubtable National Benefit Di- --- --- PENITE EFFICIENCY HE HAS NO REMOVE NEGI BILL TO PROHIBIT INTERMARRIAGE INTRODUCED EFFICIENCY CHIEF SAYS HE HAS NO DESIRE TO REMOVE NEGRO RECORDER A bill to prohibit the intermarriage of colored and white persons in the District of Columbia was introduced in the House last Saturday by Representative Allard H. Gasque, Democrat, of South Carolina. This bill would make it unlawful in the District of Columbia for any white man to intermarry with any "woman of the Negro race, or mulatto; or for any white woman to intermarry with any man of the Negro race, or mulatto," or vice versa. The intermarriage of a white and colored person is made a felony by the provisions of the bill and punishment is fixed at not less than two nor more than five years' imprisonment. Any clergyman, minister of the gospel, magistrate, or any other person authorized by law to perform marriage ceremonies, who knowingly and willingly married a white and colored person, would be guilty of a misdemeanor and would be subject to the same punishment. The Gasque intermarriage bill is almost identical with a bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, also of South Carolina. ZION CHURCH AUDITOR ON OFFICIAL VISIT Rev. Frederick M. Jacobs, general secretary-auditor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was in Washington Wednesday auditing the accounts of the Church Extension Department of which S. M. Dudley is secretary. After his audit, Rev. Jacobs said he was entirely satisfied with the accounts. He found everything in Mr. Dudley's office in fine shape. While here he did not audit the books of the Missionary Department, of which Rev. W. W. Matthews is secretary. Other departments of the church Rev. Jacobs will audit are: Woman's Home and Foreign Mission; Educational Department; Livingstone College, the Publishing House and the Financial Department. Rev. Jacobs is one of the leading candidates for the bishopric at the coming general conference which meets in St. Louis, Mo., in May. He has been active in the ministry of his church since 1885. While a minister, he graduated from the medical department of Howard University. He has served as pastor, presiding elder and general officer. He has helped the church weather its financial storms on many occasions. During the past 40 years he loaned the general body, as well as the individual churches, over $34,000. While in Washington Rev. Jacobs renewed acquaintances with many of his local friends. In his talk with newspaper men, he was very optimistic about the future of the Zion church. vision is, they will learn by experience this year the feeling of an "also ran." The general chairman of the campaign is Tecumseh Bradshaw, and the general secretary is Campbell C. Johnson. Auditors are Fred M. Robinson and Glenwood E. Jonese. The newly renovated building is expected to make the work of the division much easier this year. During the week March 28, April 5 the "Y" will keep open house, and visitors, whether members or not, are invited to view the beauty and utility of the new building. A swimming exhibition will be open to the public on Friday. March 30 at 8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the pool. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS ENTIARY CHIEF SAYS DESIRE TO RO RECORDER Herbert D. Brown, chief of the United States Bureau of Efficiency, in a statement Monday, denied that it was the purpose of the efficiency bureau in making its study of the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia to take the office away from colored people as a political heritage. He declared that the intent of the bureau was to make the work of that office current and the office itself efficient. He charged Arthur G. Free, the recorder of deeds, with bad faith in failing to cooperate with representatives of of the bureau. The Gibson investigating subcommittee of the House District committee is making an investigation to determine why the recorder of deeds did not adopt recommendations of the Bureau of Efficiency after it had made an exhaustive study of that office and similar offices in a large number of cities throughout the United States. Brown's Statement The statement of Mr. Brown is as follows: "There is nothing further from my thoughts than attempting to have the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia filled by any other than a colored man. Except for a brief period under the Wilson administration, that office has been in charge of a colored man ever since it was created, and I believe it should so remain. "The only interest of myself, and of the investigators of the Bureau of Efficiency who made the study of the office of the recorder of deeds, is to bring the work of that office current and to make the office so efficient that it can office, and reflect credit not only upon the head of the office but upon on the head of the office but upon the colored race as a whole. "Our study of the office of the recorder of deeds was made at the request of the chairman of the House committee on appropriations (Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois), and the chairman of the House committee on the District of Columbia (Representative Fred. (Continued on page 2). OMEGAS REFUSE TO PATRONIZE A JIM-CROW SHOP J. Marcus E. Vance, Jr., producer of the Omega Psi Phi play, "Charley's Aunt," to be given by the Omega fraternity, of which Mr. Vance is a member, on Easter Monday, encountered a deal of prejudice while securing costumes for the comedy. The National Theatre Supply Company recommended Mr. Vance to the Mullane Theatrical Agency, 1014 I street, northwest. The order for costumes for the play were accepted by the Mullane Agency and Mr. Vance, upon verifying the order, paid a deposit of $150. Later the manager of the agency, informed Mr. Vance that the costumes would be in use on the dates for which Mr. Vance wanted them. Mr. Vance, upon noticing the sign above the door in the store, which read "We do not solld colored trade," asked the manager, "Are you open to do business, or to perpetuate race discrimination. I will live up to the letter of that sign above your door since you openly defy business from colored people. I demand my money back." The manager attempted to explain wherein this case was different, and stated, "Of course, you could keep it quiet." Mr. Vance, however, stated that he needed the costumes urgently, but the organization that he represented would not be so cowardly as to accept any apology, or offer, as long as the sign hung above the door. He declared it an insult to 12,000,000 people. The money was refunded. The Lantern Gift Shop, at 1349 U street, northwest, owned and operated by race people, will now handle the purchases and rentals. Liberal Progressive Independent THE INTERMARRIAGE BUGABOO Periodically, the question of what shall be done about those who disregard the accident of skin and color in forming attachments for each other, male and female, comes to disturb the serenity of the proponents of white supremacy. No sooner have we recovered from the piquancy of a Rhinelander case than some Southern congressman wants a law against intermarriage, and to intensify his phobia and complicate the question, a New York clubman is reported as straying and paying to cross the line. To travel is to marvel at the varieties of men classified under a few general types. It is true that there is an exhortation against unequal yoking, but such a statement is so ambiguous in the light of modern knowledge, that it can give no comfort to those who would keep black and white, male and female apart. Men and women have bodies, minds and spirits, all three more or less delevedon in every one. An unequal yoking may be possible between two bodies regardless of color, likewise two minds and two spirits; while an equal yoking may be found in those whose outer covering of the bodies are most dissimilar. When we consider how long man and women have been attracted toward each other and how generally they have responded to such attraction-judging by the population of the earth-we feel constrained to note that logic, laws and lynchings have little effect upon so old and established a relation. Looking at the matter dispassionately, the white man is conceived beyond forgiveness in believing that to him alone is to be entrusted the keeping of civilization which he has but recently come to have borrowed, adopted or stolen from the ancients in every quarter of the globe. The alarm sounded by Lathrop Stoddard in his "Rising Tide of Color," is justified by the preponderance of numbers of the people who are not white, and above all by their strong potency in reproducing themselves rather than in exhausting themselves in striving to get into their control more of the things of the earth which tend so rapidly to slip through human grasp. We venture to predict on the basis of the more than thirty million identifiable colored people now in the United States, that the near future will see not only this nation extending from the Arctic circle to Terra del Fuego at the tip of South America, but that it will be Negroid in its complexion, and control. Already the adoption and popularity of companionate marriage proves the weakness of the binding power of the union of many white couples. The natures of the people are unstimulating to each other. The white woman has become too masculine for the white man of the same level of culture, and the white man is not enough of an animal for the white woman whose very independence demands a virile mate. To those whose minds are set for preserving the restrictions of the age of Queen Victoria, such things are bitter pills; but wise men know that a price must be paid for every gain, and that white men have paid and are paying the price for their rapid rise to the mastery of the most gigantic machine ever devised to supply men with material things beyond measure. The story of creation simply says, "Male and female created He them," and lets it go at that. Food, soil, climate and the aspect of nature have produced both variety among the offspring and similarity within the narrow ranges of a fixed environment. When a male of one kind finds a female of another kind, most of the other differences fade into the background, hence all that lawmakers may do, will but excite ingenuity to circumvent the prohibitions.

EQUAL RIGHTS Not until the Negro comes to think of himself as an integral part of this nation, as having given of his labor and devotion as large a share as any other element of it, will he regard himself as the equal of every other American. Not until he thinks of himself as an equal, will he live, think, act, and thus attract to himself and his children all the rights and privileges of American citizenship. One need not travel far from home to find a strong tendency to think below equality. There has been long and subtle suggestion to that end. Church, school, home, and state have combined to produce humility. Menial work, low wages, lack of savings for legal protection, fear of the partiality of legal machinery, use of newspapers, books and magazines propagating the idea of dominance and superiority of the other people, among those who did not or could not discriminate, and the consequent failure to stir and urge to achieve what the ambition might conceive as an object of life, have all operated to create an inferiority feeling. Those "inalienable rights" guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence, and safeguarded by the Constitution, are imbibed with the mother's milk and worked out in childhood with potency as to a condition precedent to their enjoyment in adult life. A study of the methods, propaganda and conduct of women over the world, in striving to secure equal rights with men, under the law, should be the subject of study by groups of Negroes who feel the pressure of the bar sinister arising, out of the color of the skin. Whereas the "Equal Rights League" has been one of the smallest organizations among us, it should be, by reason of the existing situation, one of the largest and most powerful. Exactly as the Union League was organized with oaths and with nation wide branches to support and protect the Union's cause during the Civil War, when spies and Southern sympathizers were in every city and town, so, our group should have an oath-bound and nation-wide equal rights league to provide numbers, finances, opportunities for leadership and for service in this one cause which subtends all other causes in this nation. Our thinking must change from rights not yet secured, to rights denied, withheld, stolen, neglected, but to be regained. Overhearing two women of the laboring classes lamenting the inability to buy very much from the wages of their husbands, last Saturday night, we ventured to survey some of the shops in our colored neighborhoods. Uneconomic buying, careless disregard of the consequences of the value of their hard earned dollars, pressure of actual needs, inability to resist the alluring offering of the brightly lighted windows, gaily pictured articles displayed on the shelves, and the persuasive words of the flattering clerks who are working for commissions, all combine to create a flow of colored dollars out of hands that should control them most wisely. There is something about spending money which you have not yourself carried, possibly blinded by receiving pennies as children—that unifies all too many of our women of the classes with low earning power, to spend money at all. Above every other form of exploitation, our race suffers from economic thriftlessness. Our churches and leaders need to redirect the emotions of the race from channels which suited jungle life, into channels which make for economic survival. The new salvation army will consist of bands of intelligent young men and women who will congregate on street corners with their new songs which tell of the gospel of saving pennies, and of spending them where they come back to the race in employment of our youth and in newer paying industries and business of all kinds. Our new type of social work will consist of Saturday night meetings where the women of the race will meet in neighborhood circles and confer with their leaders on the wisest distribution of the wages entrusted to their keeping. Out of such movements would come group buying and careful consideration of the values of the things for which money is to be exchanged. If groceries and drug stores, dairies and meat markets combine to sell economically, why should not the poor buyer combine to buy economically? Wise churches will do well to foster those movements; they will at least leave more for church giving on Sundays. The parable of the loaves and fishes can be interpreted in the setting of modern economic struggle for survival. Every Saturday night comes ahead of Sunday. OPINIONS ARE NOT IDEAS It would not be fair to the publisher, the public nor the universities, to employ the columns of the paper to instruct our esteemed columnist, Mr. Schuyler, as to the basis of the distinction between "opinion" and "idea." Suffice it to say that the words stand for just those differences in mental equipment and activity which our columnists fail to observe. An opinion is based upon inadequate reasoning, while an idea is unvaryingly based upon direct experience and sensory matter. The opinion of a judge or of a lawyer, must of necessity be based upon the evidence taken from witnesses; it is never first hand, but the idea of right or wrong settled by the contest of opinions, has been arrived at through long experience by the social group which legislates it into its code. Everywhere an opinion is of less validity in mental effect upon social relations then is an idea. "Ideas move, work, cause things to happen, produce, changes; they are established in nature and act upon nature." Opinions are formulated in the mind to suit the mind as a relief from some sort of pressure, obstructi n, dissatisfaction felt within. Mr. Schuyler's columns are opinions; what this race needs to insure, guide and direct its advance, are ideas. That Mr. Schuyler does not understand "subtle suggestion" accounts for his inability to profit by our opinion of his opinions. Finis. Leopards are fond of eating monkeys.

MARCH 23. 1928 POETS' CORNER (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children." If you commune with the poetical muse, send in your original verses.) MELANCHOLIA By Raymond V. Baker Oh, Psyche, fair goddess, My mind today is in a turmoil From conflicting thoughts, Thinking of one I love. Something Sometimes my thoughts get the better of me Thinkin; of the things she has said About harboring an old grudge. Yes, and speaking of revenge. Knowing full of the bitterness of its fruit. Sometimes she provoketh me beyond reason. Sometimes I get angry, saying I will try to forget And go away, and then love brings me back. She says there is satisfaction in her getting even. Probably there is, to her, but the game of getting even Can be played once too often. I hope her insane desire For revenge will soon be satiated. Because I can't get angry with her. Love won't let me. Sometimes I say when I sit to muse Is it worth while; will she ever be satisfied? And then Love, like a ray of hope says, "Yes, Don't give up, don't let despair overcome you, "Despair robs youth of its ambitions." So, Psych, maybe some day she will be satisfied. I hope so because I love her so, I have almost Lost interest in life itself. To you, my love, I breathe a prayer. prayer Some day, I hope, you will say, "I love you too, and trust you." And then, then, Oh, Psyche, I will fold her to my heart To worship and love forever. Some day, I fervently hope All this will come, Oh, Psyche, Some day I hope. THE WAY May your path be strewn with flowers Where're you chance to go, May your blessings fall in showers That you may feel and know There is One who guides the way Though shadowed sometimes with care. Look beyond the cloudy day DEFAMERS There is on earth a creature who breathes only to defame; Who gloats to see a sullied soul die quivering in its shrine. There is no greater love than he; he; no coward, this, philanander Is half so vile and treacherous as a loose-lipped slanderer. To such an one books stand for naught, to works of art he's blind; He has not time for anything that beautifies the mind. To him the sound of ringing tongues like Atris' bell is sweet; His greatest joy in living is base rumors to repeat. When fork-tongued reptiles ope their mouths and strike to villify, The smutted one is powerless their charges to deny. Theo' all the saints in heav'n did speak to plend his cause, defend him. The poisoner's voice they could not drown; he'd crush his victim—rend him. But unto him that blackens shall come the same, full brim. The tattler's teeth shall sieze him and tear him limb from limb; and motley tales than his more rank will run the whole world's girth. Just retribution seek him out and smite him to the earth. WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING By Anita Alice Morton "We must get understanding" this to every one applies. Just think of God's love for us, when we feel we can't forgive— Then think of our condition when we do not do God's will. But we do believe God loves us and we turn to him and live. We must love our neighbor and we will freely, too, forgive.

GEORGE WASHINGTON COM PLIMENTED PHYLLIS WHEATLEY George Washington was charmed and pleased by an excellent poem sent to him by the talented Negro poetess of Revolutionary times, Phyllis Wheatley, and wrote her a courteous acknowledgement. The incident is recounted by Rupert Hughes in the second volume of his biography, "George Washington, the Rebel and Patriot," which is published by William Morrow & Co. The verses, which Mr. Hughes says, "are quite as good as many written by famous names of that century," were sent on the occasion of Washington's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. They are as follows: "Celestial choir! enthron'd in realms of light, Columbia's scenes of glorious toils I write." She flashes dreadful in refulgent arms. . . The goddess comes, she moves divinely fair, Olive and laurel binds her golden hair: Wherever chines this native of the skies. Unnumbered charms and recent graces arise. Muse! how propitious while my pen relates Enwrapp'd in tempest and a night of storms; Astonish'd ocean feels the wild uproar. The refluent surges beat the sounding shore; . . . Shall I to Washington their praise recite? Enough thou know'st them in the field of fight. Thee first in place and honours,— we demand The grace and glory of thy martial land. Fam'd for thy valour, for thy virtues more, Hear every tongue thy guardian aid implore! . . . Anon Britannia droops the pensive head. While round increase the rising hills of the dead. . . Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side. Thy every action let the goddess guide. A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine. With gold unfading, Washington; be thine." According to Mr. Hughes, Washington told a friend that "at first, with a view of doing justice to her great poetical genius, I had a great mind to publish the poem; but not knowing whether it might be considered rather as a mark of my own vanity, than as a compliment to her. I laid it aside." Phyllis was twenty-one years old at that time and already had a volume of poetry to her credit. Here is the letter Washington Here is the letter Washington sent her: Miss Phyllis. "Your favor the 26th of October did not reach my hands, till the middle of December. Time enough, you will say, to have given an answer ere this. Granted. But a variety of important occurrences, continually interposing to distract the mind and withdraw the attention, I hope will apologize for the delay, and plead my excuse for the seeming but not real neglect. I thank you most sincerely for your polite notice of me, in the elegant lines you enclosed; and however undeserving I may be of such encomium and panegyric, the style and manner exhibit a striking proof of your poetical talents; in honor of which, and as a tribute justly due to you, I would have published the poem, had I not been apprehensive, that, while I only meant to give the world this new instance of your genius, I might have incurred the imputation of vanity. This, and nothing else determined me not to give it place in the public prints. "If you should ever come to Cambridge, or near head-quarters, I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the Muses, and to whom nature has been so liberal and beneficient in her dispensations. I am, with great respect, your obedient humble servant. "George Washington" Phyllis Wheatley was born in Africa and brought to Boston in a slave ship at the age of seven in 1761. She took her last name from her purchaser, who treated her with great tenderness, and had her educated. She began to write verses and was the first of the logro poets of America to become popular in England, whence she received complimentary letters from the Countess of Huntingdon, the Earl of Dartmouth, and the preacher, Whitefield. A SERMON IN RHYME If you have a friend worth loving, Love him; yes, and let him know That you love him, ere life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow. THE REPORTER'S COLUMN By W. H. S. Let us consider Robert Taylor for whom the keys of the piano respond at his magic touch. Taylor is also an accomplished singer; as he is the owner of a rich, melodious voice. We as a whole, are proud of him not only because he plays well, but because he is a Tribunite! We are who are idle sheep of the fold had better appreciate what we have and use it to some good advantage. Among those who are using to good advantage the talents that they have, are several Tribunites of whom we are truly proud. They are Marguerite Murray, Laura Jean Murray, Charles Pack, Ashton Brown, Leon Mason and Maurice Wooden. Victory awaits them on the next rung of the ladder, upon which we all are climbing. The army moves forward—the first lap. Several of us who participated in this movement for racial recognition, have fallen behind. These laggers are dangerous cargoes to bear. They will flounder and struggle in the mud and if they do not succeed in freeing themselves of it, they will try to pull us under also. Nine out of ten of us are otherwise gifted by God. Now is the time to show and prove our talents. And what could be a better way than to bring our ideas to light by portraying the role of an artist? Ask Margaret Underdown. Her drawings are recognized and praised throughout the entire Lucretia Mott School. Her work is always highly commended by the officials of the school staff. She is a worthy Tribunite. Are you? Uphold your colors? Wave your banner. Onward into the fight! Struggle, comrades, onward to victory! Victory! No Why and How Boys Two boys in school who stood at the foot of the class were invariably asked the same questions, which were: "Who made you?" and "To what do you return?" The first boy always replied, "God made me," and the second boy answered, "Dust of the earth." On this occasion the first boy was absent, so the first question, "Who made you?" was addressed to the second boy. "Dust of the earth," he replied. "Quite wrong, Tom. God made you," said the teacher impatiently. "No, teacher. The boy that God made has gone home with the stomach ache." Helping the Cause Helping the Cause The minister raised his eyes from his sermon notes just in time to see his son join in the congregation with horse chestnuts. The good man was preparing a frown of disapproval when the young hopeful cried out: "You 'tend to your preaching. Pop; I'll keep 'em awake." Weak Back Strengthened Quickly If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbago, put on a Red Cross Kidney Plaster and you will get relief almost at once. It gives the support needed by the weakened, sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissues. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles. Be sure to ask for Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. At all drug stores.

PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES DOCTORS AND THE PEOPLE'S HEALTH Dr. Carey V. Freeman, president of the National Medical Association, is devoting his administration to two outstanding needs of the race from the point of view of the prevention of disease and the conservation of health. Dr. Freeman states that the Negro doctors, as individuals and as members of the several medical societies, the National Medical Association, hospitals, clinics, and school and welfare organizations, are rendering a service which many people do not comprehend or appreciate. He feels that modesty and ethics have allowed the Negro doctor to be appraised in public opinion often as a proud and self-gratifying member of the community rather than a capable, interested citizen prepared for a definite humanitarian service and ministering unto thousands of his people efficiently, cheerfully and often without assurance of material compensation. The president of this national organization of the doctors of the race therefore asserts that the Association has a large representative personnel, a policy of honorable conduct, high scholarship and scientific practice and progress, and a program of service for the larger welfare of the race in the matter of economic and vital losses of the race as a whole. The National Medical Association, continues Dr. Freeman, will observe this year the thirty-third anniversary of its organization. The Association's membership has grown from a few earnest men of vision who supported Dr. R. F. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., in the years of 1895, '96 and '97, to a present membership of one-third or more of the estimated five thousand and more doctors of the race. This has been accomplished through a galaxy of men too numerous to here name. Conventions have grown from failure to meet, to five-day meetings, during which time the Medical, Surgical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Sections, the National Hospital Association, and the National Association of Life Insurance Medical Examiners conduct literary and scientific programs and hold clinics of every kind in some of the best institutions of the country. Dr. Freeman laments, however, that the public has not been solicitous and insistent that no eligible doctor of the race be indifferent to and out of affiliation with his colleagues, because the exigencies of racial proscription make it compulsory that the Negro doctor learn, progress and prosper through his own organization and people, or steadily lose ground in the almost marvelous progress that the professions are now making. The new slogan of the National Medical Association is: "Every eligible doctor an active member of the National Medical Association and a progressive citizen of his community." Much has been said in this message about "the doctor's side." Dr. Freeman notes, but the professions must be constantly mindful that CHAS. E. ROBINSON HEADS DR.

B. C. V. FREEMAN, D.D.S. President, National Medical Association Jacksonville, Fla. the people do not exist for the professions, but rather the professions for the people. He believes much has been done by the Negro doctor to foster the welfare of the people in his community, but he does not think everything has been done that should be done to further check the high sick and death rates of the Negro people and to give them a better living and working chance in a complex civic, business and industrial life which is daily growing more exacting of the strength and temper of the people. Dr. Freeman does not think the conditions will change except perhaps to yet more telling demands. He therefore cautions doctors and laymen alike to establish a new code of personal care and professional service in order that whenever and wherever possible, prevention of disease and the promotion of health supersede the merely curative practices which, though in very large measure necessary, are more and more being regarded as "after-the-horse-is-out-of-the-stable" methods of practice. To this end, Dr. Freeman advocates such periodic physical examinations as will detect prodispositions to disease and incipient illness before the patient receives warning of impending disability that might mean serious temporary losses in periods of illness or total loss in death. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," has perhaps become trite as an expression, but it is potent beyond calculation in the toll taken daily when its precept is not observed. The National Medical Association has no greater duty and the people no greater responsibility than the charge upon each for the preservation of a healthy community and the propagation of a healthy people. DR. FOWLER LECTURES TO MEDICO-CHIRURBICAL SOCIETY Dr. Harry Fowler, professor of genito-urinary diseases in the College of Medicine, Howard University and nationally known specialist in this field, lectured to the members and guests of the Medico-Chirurgical Society Thursday evening, March 22 at the Mu-So-Lit Club.

JESUS PROCLAIMS THE KING- DOM OF GOD (A Review) GOLDEN TEXT: And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sick- ness and every disease among the people. Matt. 19:35. The lessons of the quarter have been devoted to Mark's conception of Jesus as a worker who by his works demonstrated his divine Sonship. Mark relies not so much upon the voice of the prophets as he does upon the works of the Savior. It is mainly these divinity-proving works of Jesus which the lessons of the quarter have presented. The limitations of our space make it impossible to do much more than merely to list the topics of the lessons of the quarter. These topics, with a brief word intended only to refresh the reader's mind upon them, follow: Lesson I—John the Baptist and Jesus In this lesson Jesus is introduced and baptized by John, following which his divine Sonship, is affirmed through a heavenly acknowledgement. Lesson II—Jesus and the Sick Here Jesus is found in the synagogue in Capernaum, where he taught with unprecedented authority and cast a demon out of a man who was possessed. Lesson III—Jesus and Sinners This was the occasion on which a paralytic was let down through the roof before Jesus. Jesus cured the man by forgiving his sins. Lesson IV—Jesus and the Law In this lesson Jesus is criticised because His disciples fail to fast and to keep the Sabbath in accordance with Mosaic law. He replied by pointing out the danger of putting new wine into old bottles, etc. Lesson V—The Growing Fame of Jesus In lesson we find Jesus at EPIPHANY CATHOLIC CHURCH Those who were so fortunate as to be present at the Epiphany Catholic Church in Georgetown last Sunday night, heard the rendition of a group of beautiful songs and spirituals. The occasion was the piano recital by Dr. A. G. Green, sponsored by John F. Cole, director of the Epiphany choir. Those taking part were Miss Goldie Towles, the Harmonious Quartette, P. H. Simms, Miss Frye, Joseph Dodson and Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson. Every available seat was taken and there were many standing. The choir will render Mercandantes Vespers at the dedication of the new organ Easter Monday night. PREACHERS' POPULARITY CONTEST The business session of the fourth Quarterly Conference was held at the church Monday night. It was the last session prior to the general conference. The session voted for a continuation of Rev. H. T. Medford as pastor for the return of Rev. J. H. Tucker as presiding elder, and the general conference to return Bishop J. S. Caldwell to this Episcopal district. The financial rally will end on Palm Sunday. An entertainment by Mrs. Armstead's section in the rally will be held at the church, Tuesday, March 27, at 8 p.m. The layman's mass meeting of the Washington district will be held at the church Friday night of this week. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH At the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q. streets, northwest, Rev George O. Bullock's topic at 11 a.m. is, "Hall as the rich man found it." His topic at 8 p.m. is, "Real vision of Jesus." Bible school will meet at 9:15 a.m. The I. C. E. Society will meet at 4 p.m. to discuss the topic, "How far should friendship go?" The Junior C. E. Society will meet at 5 p.m. the topic being, "Jesus calling His helpers." The Senior C. E. Society will meet at 6 p.m. discussing, "What is my share in the missionary field?" Prayer meeting Tuesday, 8 to 10 p.m. Young people's prayer meeting, Thursday, 8 to 9 p.m. WOMEN'S DAY AT LEE'S CHAPEL Sunday, March 25 will be observed as "Women's Day", at Lee's A.M.E. Chapel, Kensington, Md., of which Rev. C. E. Walden is pastor. Those appearing on the program of the services of the day are, Miss Eloise Spriggs, violinist; Mrs. Edna Yates, French reader; Mrs. Geneva F. Moss, soloist; Mrs. Ella Burns, reader and Mrs. Julia West Haminton, president of the Federation Women's Clubs, Washington and Vicinity. Services are as follows: sermon, 11:30 a.m.; 2 p.m., Sunday School; 3:30 a.m.会议; 6:30, A. the height of His popularity, with crowds following Him everywhere, while He does many mighty works. Lesson VI—Jesus Misunderstood and Opposed Both the nature of the kingdom which Jesus came to establish and His method of establishing it seem to have been misunderstood by His friends and His foes alike. He was therefore deserted by some of His friends and opposed by His enemies. He met the issue by refutation and explanation, as given in this lesson. Lesson VII—Jesus Pictures the Kingdom of God In this lesson Mark gives three parables in which Jesus pictured the kingdom of God, viz., (a) the parable of the sowes", (b) the parable of the mystery of growth, and (c) the parable of the mustard seed. Lesson VIII—Two Miracles of Power. In this lesson Mark cites two miracles which are clearly demonstrative of the super-human power of Jesus. These miracles are, (a) the calming of the stormy sea, and (b) the healing of the Gadareno demoniac, the demons being allowed to enter the swine. Lesson IX—Other Mighty Works of Jesus The mighty works referred to here are the curing of the woman with the issue of blood, and the raising of Jairus' daughter. Lesson X—Jesus and the Twelve In this lesson Jesus selects His twelve apostles and sends them upon a local missionary tour, instructing them in their work. Lesson XI—Jesus Feeds the Multitudes This is the only miracle recorded in all of the four gospels. It is the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. Lesson XII—Jesus Teaches Sincerity In this lesson Jesus is again criticised because of the failure of His disciples to adhere to Jewish tradition. He meets the issue by criticising His critics for their hypocrisy, and explains that sincerity is preferred to mere outward ceremony in true religious life. C. E.

Augustine Lewis "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:34, 35. In all ages men have been known by some mark of distinction such as peculiar dress, manner of speech, rites and customs. Every age has had its styles and customs—that which was true of individuals was also true of groups. In the time of our Lord's life here upon this earth, the Jews had their various societies, dress, rites, and customs which distinguished them from all others. The common Jew, Pharisee, Sadducee, and Scribe, all had their badges of distinction by which they might be known to all men. Our Saviour was not unmindful of these facts, therefore Jesus, before leaving his disciples, gave them their badges that they might be known to the world as His disciples. Hear him saying unto them,—"A new commandment, I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you . . . By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples." In the law of Moses there was a command to love your neighbor, but the life of Christ gives a new interpretation of the law of love, therefore making it new. "As I have loved you."—This is the interpretation of the law—it is new because with it came a new motive power which caused the minds of men to be motivated to higher ideals found only in Christ Jesus. The love of Christ experienced in the heart becomes a fountain of love to all others. Be it far removed from any individual, who claims to have experienced the love of Christ in his heart to hate a fellow-human being, for the only badge by which one might be known is love. "If a man say I love God, and hathet his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" "By love all men shall know that ye are my disciples." Therefore love is the only badge by which we might be known to the world. It is new because it is the law of the new covenant, also the first fruit of the spirit in the new dispensation (Gal. 5:22). New because it had never before served as a mark of distinction by which any class or groups might be differentiated. will speak at the Lincoln Theatre under the auspices of the local Ministers' Union. Mrs. Daisy Caldwell-Tucker has been secured to direct the singing and Miss Evelyn Clark for pianist. Prior to the bishop's reaching the city Wednesday, Dr. W. W. Matthews will lead the noon day service at the theatre Monday and Tuesday, April 2 and COMPLETES BALTIMORE REVIVAL On Friday night, March 16, the great revival meeting conducted at the Morning Star Baptist Church of Baltimore by Rev. R. D. Grymes, pastor of the Salem Baptist Church of this city, came to a successful close. The choir, officers and several members of the Salem church here chartered two busses on which to go to Baltimore to be with their pastor in his final service there. Rev. Grymes returned with these loyal members to Washington after the service, and was back in his pulpit Sunday morning. FORMER PASTOR VISITS CHURCH Rev. J. R. C. Pinn, pianist and former pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Warrenton, Va., was a visitor at his former church on last Sunday, preaching at both the morning and evening services. Rev. Pinn is now pastoring the Shiloh Baptist Church, of Newport, R.I., and is in Washington as the guest of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Pinn, Rev. Pinn being professor of exegesis, Howard University School of Religion. Rev. Pinn visited and furnished music for the Ministers' Conference on Monday. NEW JERSEY PASTOR PREACHES HERE Rev. J. W. Lee, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, of Red Bank, N.J., preached at the communion service at the Salem Baptist Church last Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Many pastors of the city including Rev. A. J.

CHURCH PAGEANT A GREAT SUCCESS The State Pageant given at the First Baptist Church, of Warrenton, Va., on March 16 was a most brilliant affair and an eminent success. Many out of town visitors, including the principal and faculty of the Manassas Industrial School of Virginia, as well as many white and colored members PETER H. Rev. AUGUSTINE LEWIS, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rosslyn, Va. presents this week's sermon. Christians are not to be known by wealth, learning, fame, nor any other vain thing, than by love—that constant affection one for another, which is to surmount all distinction of country, — race, prejudice, hatred, malice, strife, envy, etc. We all, if redeemed at all, have been redeemed by the same sacred blood, and must finally dwell in the same heaven. Therefore, let us all take heed to the teachings of our lord and master. "Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock." Failing to heed his teachings is unwise, and we can never hope to escape, whether it be an individual or a group, a race or a nation that thus fails. "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?" This commandment was new in regards to the extent to which this love was to be carried, for Christ immediately adds, "As I have loved you." His love for them was strong, continual and unremitted. "Greater love has lay no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." This is a new expression of love, unlimited in the extent to which it must be carried, one for another. A true Christian loves religion in the same degree wherever it is found—prince or slave, in mansion of wealth or in the cottage of poverty, on the throne of prosperity, or in the hut of want. He overlooks the distinction of color, race, and nation, but loves all men. of the community filled the church almost to capacity, an even hundred dollars being realized for the effort. The pastor, Rev. C. I. Harris, and members of the Fire Baptist Church feel very grateful to the many Mt. Zion members who were noted in both the play and in the audience, thereby showing a most wonderful spirit of cooperation.

The Greatest L —A Beauti Her life was torture. Behind her back men jeered at her. She knew the reason—a muddy, blotchy, pimply skin was hers. She thought nothing would correct the trouble. Then a friend told her about Hi-Ja Beauty Ointment. The pimples and the blotches were soon removed. A creamy, beautiful softness took their place. The very complexion that men laughed at now drew them to her side. Popularity was hers—She felt that wonderful power over men and women that beauty brings—and all because of Hi-Ja Beauty Ointment.

BAXTER MADE TO BIGAMIST ANNULLED HOWARD DORMITORY INSURANCE SUPT. Charging that her husband, Arthur O. Terrell, 110 Virginia avenue, southwest, has another wife from whom he had not been divorced at the time he married her, Mrs. Daisy J. Terrell, 1312 Twenty-second street, northwest, Thursday asked the District Supreme Court to annul her marriage to him. Terrell is employed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Terrell says that after her marriage she frequently heard rumors that her husband had been previously married and was not divorced. He denied these rumors, she says, and even went as far as to take her to the home of the woman whom it now develops he had previously married, for the purpose of proving that he was not married to her. An exhaustive search of the marriage license records resulted in her discovery on March 14 of the fact that he had married Essie B. Jones on March 7, 1918, at 522 Third street, southwest. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Aquila Sayles. This marriage has not been terminated, says Mrs. Terrell, by either death or a divorce. She was married to Terrell in New York City on September 12, 1923, Mrs. Daisy J. Terrell states. They lived together here, until January 25, 1926, she claims. Their marriage life was tempestuous, she says. Mrs. Terrell is represented by Attorney William O. Davis.

O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all drugrists.

Godfrey in May Bout Withdrawal of Baseball Clubs Menaces Eastern Loop ```markdown ``` TRIBUNE LEAGUE TO OPEN ON MAY 6 TRIBUNE LEAGUE TO OPEN ON MAY 6 The opening of the second season for the Washington Tribune Baseball League, the city's largest diamond loop has been set for Sunday, May 6, according to announcements coming from the league headquarters, 920 U street, northwest, this week. Begun last year, the Tribune League in its first season as an organization registered twenty-nine baseball teams representing clubs in and around Washington. Of the 29 only 5 withdrew before the final contest. Starting late, the first game not being played until July, the 1927 league necessitated the use of part of the early football season in order that the full number of contests should be played by each team. This year, however, by beginning the first Sunday in May, the league officials anticipate a campaign even more successful than its first. With 24 teams divided into two classes of 12 clubs each, the 1927 Tribune League boasted of the largest registration of any single circuit ever organized in Washington. The 1928 loop is smaller. Sixteen clubs are to form this year's league, the two classes showing registry of eight teams each. Following is the formation of the circuit. The official schedule will appear next week. Class A— Anacostia Athletcis Colesville Tigers Brookland Giants Potomac Giants Maryland White Sox Washington Pirates Alexandria Nationals D. C. Specials Anacostia Hillsdales Y.W.C.A. WINS FROM FAST MORGAN COLLEGE GIRLS Y.W.C.A. WINS FROM FAST MORGAN COLLEGE GIRLS The Y. W. C. A. Big Five handed the fast girls' quintet from Morgan College a neat 27-11 Lacing before a good sized wet night crowd at the Y. M. C. A. last "Bathday." The same two teams meet tonight in Baltimore. Billie Vaughn, that coy young pivot player of the locals, though disqualified on personal fouls, shone as a luminary worthy of mention in the Y. W. C. A. attack. Jeanie Downing, who was voted 1927's most popular basketball player (after being nominated by C. Leslie Frazier) also played a big role in the Blue and White offensive methods. Anita Gant, long an idol of local court circles was the pillar which held up the hardy Washington defense. Largely through her efforts the girls from the Monumental town were kept out of the scoring columns. Nettie Nelson, starred with Gant. The Orange and Blue coeds, unused to the type of court on which they met their opponents, were handicapped, but the encounter tonight before a home audience promises to be a red-hot struggle with never no quarters given. ARMSTBONG SWIMMING TEAM The first meeting of the 1928 Armistin Swimming Team was held Wednesday afternoon. Several of the dependable members of last year's squad were on hand, Walter Coleman, captain, 1927, Bernard Coleman, Reginald Darrell were among the large turnout. Wilbur Wallace, last year's sprint champion and Sidney Stokes, last year's diving champion were absent. Wallace is expected back in school in the next few days but Stokes is lost to the squad for this year as he is not in school. It is hoped that a champion relay team; plunge for distance winner and diving champion to succeed Stokes will be developed with the help of such promising newcomers as Marcellus Meyers, Channing Fletcher, Lendall Chase, Theodore Adams, Hulet Brown, Sidney Morris, Cecil Swamwell, George Wormley, Aubrey Thomas, Edgar Lee and Isaiah Woodward. Meets are expected to be held with Dunbar High School, Baltimore High, 12th Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Howard Freshmen and one or two teams for which arrangements have not been completed. KAPPA MAINTAINS FRAT LEAGUE LEAD The "Four Horsemen" of Kappa Alpha Psi strengthened their hold on first place in the Inter-fraternal Basketball League by truncating the lowly Phi Beta Sigma quint, 36-6, before a scant crowd at the Colonade, last Saturday afternoon. Smith, Simpson and White, Kappa mainstays, led an attack which not only completely bewildered but, as well, literally smothered the efforts of the Sigma tossers. The leaders are carded for a meeting tomorrow with the Lightning Five, of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. This will be the first appearance of the Orange and Black team in the loop, and the game promises to bring out more rivalry than any that the interfrat clashes has yet tasted.

This form of athletic diversion, in our opinion, is one of the most interesting, beneficial, and without doubt, one of the oldest in the history of nation-wide activity. In testimony of its antiquity, I might quote my good friend and colleague, Alvin J. Moses, of the New York News: "Rip Van Winkle awoke from his twenty years sleep to find stockily built dutchmen bowling on the verdant banks of the Hudson." Bowling is an all weather sport, it being played on an indoor space regardless of what sort of condition exists outside. Only with a fair number of persons interested, we might be able to open 3 modern and up-to-date alleys. Women, as well as men can find clean wholesome recreation in this game which has been played by all classes and races since time immemorial. Remember when, as a kid you enjoyed knocking the little ten-pins down with the wooden apple? Get in touch with the Tribune Sporteditor at once, by mail. Let's organize a couple of bowling clubs. DIAMOND OUTLOOK AT ARMSTRONG GLOOMY DIAMOND OUTLOOK AT ARMSTRONG GLOOMY The baseball prospects of Armstrong have been dimmed somewhat by the scholastic difficulties of some of the most likely infield candidates. Cato W. Adams, who has turned out successful teams for several years is lamenting the fact that Ernest Johnson is the only veteran infielder available at present. All three bases are to be left to green and untried material who have not shown up well in the drills. The encouraging features are last year's outfield, "Red" Dabney, Perry, and Graham, and a veteran battery in Lynn, who won all of his six starts last year and his receiver Robinson. Campbell, the "Marberry" of the staff, may be used as a starter this term. Fuqua, Snowden and Nash look promising in the box while King bears watching. Fountain and R. Jones are staging a hot fight for first base. Batting drills will be held regularly in order to develop some hitting strength which seems sady lacking. "Either the pitchers are very good, or the batters are very poor," said Coach Adams. "This is not the time for top form on the part of the pitchers, so it is my belief that the batters are not there." BRUCE FLOWERS WINS DESPITE BAD HAND NEW YORK—Finishing the last half of his scheduled 10-round bout with his right hand out of commission, Bruce Flogers, Negro lightweight champion, won the decision over Billie Petrolle, flashy Fargo pugilist, at Madison Square Garden, last Friday night. Flowers, who had gone out in front in the early going by pounding his sturdy adversary with both hands carried the last 5 rounds to his opponent despite the injured right hand. Throughout the closing stanza a cutting left hook kept Petrolle at bay. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MARCH 23. 1928 SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor CHAMPIONS Hooray! The Carlisle championship!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! The Carlisles have won the South Atlantic Basketball Championship! Nine rahs!-a couple of ha ha's. The Checks scored over the Columbia Elk Lodge team in a series between the two combinations. By so doing, Conway's clan defeated the team which, by successive wins over the Community Yellowjackets, had erased the Orange and Black colors from the picture. Well and good. The jackets were out and the Signpainters had licked the aggregation which had eliminated the former. The Checks were champs, no more nor less. But alas! Having wiped the cobwebs from our idle "branes"—we don't have brains in this business—there seems to kinda he recalled a game of basketball, played on the dampish night of St. Valentine's Day. Begorrah!—there was. Community played the Carlisles, 'cause we remember now the gentleman with the elevated underpinning, the prolonged hair and the elongated name—James Marcus Ezekiel Vance—promoted it. And that contest, if memory serves us right, was won by those who were not Carlisles. The score was 36-25. What have we? E. S. Kyler in writing for the Sentinel says: "Pick your own champion. The Carlisles beat the Elks who trimmed Community, conquerors of the Carlisles." This game, then, on Monday, just don't seem to hit the right spot. Since the Checks appear to have a local score to settle; since we learn of the defeat of the Athenians by Morgan College in the first game of the city and state championship series between these quinns, and since a lingering recollection of a 24-19 verdict of the Athenians over the Carlisles in Baltimore on Armistice Day, all suddenly burst their way into the noble dome, we kinda wonder—who, where, how, and why ARE the South Atlantic basketball champs?

Criticizem, compassionate and otherwise—mostly otherwise—has been cast at the Bison administration because of the failure of the Blue and White school to compromise with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Every opportunity to upbraid the officials at Howard for their seemingly stubborn attitude in the C. I. A. A.-Howard muddle, has been seized by the author of this column. Howard has been "yelled at" because her action has hampered the development of athletics and athletic interest in Washington. Let's start cleaning our own homes. The writer, himself is manager of a basketball team. He manages it, or at least did this year, in such a manner as to bring about the same sort of muddle as exists between Howard and the C. I. A. A. Following the Community defeat of the Carlisles, the writer, who incidentally handles Community destinies, refused to permit his quint meet the Checks in a second engagement. He gave, as his reason the fact that the Signpainters "ran out" on the Elks (then the Alcoes) after winning one game from them last year; and, the Carlisles' refusal to play Community at all, in 1927. When the Carlisles took the measure of the Elks in a clean-cut manner last week, the question of a second Community-Carlisle game arose—in order that an opportunity to prove their claim on the title be given the Checks. When called on the phone, by the Community manager, Tuesday in regard to a game with his team, the Carlisle chief made it known that he was not desirous of playing the 'jackets, because the writer refused him a game first. Hence we have another crumpled situation. The Carlisles are champions of the Carlisle-Elk series; the Elks are champions of the Elk-Community competition; the Communities are champions of Community-Carlisle disturbance, and the city champions are—oh! where are we, anyway? Before doing a whole lot of kicking because Howard won't let us decide whether she or Hampton (C. I. A. A. champs) are the better in football or whether Tuskegee is better than either or both—let's do some house-cleaning—at home. ADVERTISING developed a permanent and Charlie Hughes has iss. Their common a synopsis and see if we less. First off, we get ear, the very first thing perprise fails when it the following advertise Henry Hill has developed a permanent facial wave; Ewell Conway has grown thin, and Charlie Hughes has gotten bald. They are all basketball promoters. Their common ailment is diagnosed as "moneylosses." Let's make a brief synopsis and see if we can't discover the causes of some of these troubles. First off, we get at the beginning. When a game is to be put over, the very first thing is to advertise it—and it appears that the enterprise fails when it begun, due to the character of advertising. Take a look at the following advertisements, then follow me closely: COMMUNITY A. C. vs. VA. SEMINARY C. I. A. A. Champs Conquerors of Morgan College CARLISLES vs. ELKS For D. C. Championship COMMUNITY A. C. vs. COLUMBIA 85 For City Championship CARLISLES, D. C. Champs vs. ATHENIANS, Balto. Champs For S. Atlantic Championship For a long time the basketball populace of Washington has been fooled. The people have grown tired of it. The cash customer is soring at being considered, by local promoters, as being "blind as the proverbial bat." The folks who lay down their quarters and halves are gradually decreasing in numbers, and it's because of the fact that they are refusing to pay for something they feel sure they won't see. The first of the ads listed above, is a miniature of the placard used to announce the "Seminary- Community" game. It's all wrong. The promoter did not have Virginia Seminary booked for the game. Instead he apparently induced certain of the Dragon players to play against a local quint and advertised them as the school team. The people saw four Washington boys who attend the Virginia institution linked up with two other Washington players, engaged for the occasion. That combination purported to be the Virginia Seminary C.I.A.A. champion basketball team, conquerors of Morgan College. When the spectators began to howl, Mr. Hugnes calmly walked out onto the floor and announced that Community had nothing at all to do with the booking off the game. It was staged, it was learned by Ike Kendrick, manager of the Federal quint. The next two ads represent announcements of the two series between the Carlisles and Elks and the Community and Columbia 85 (the same Elks). One ad purports to be a contest for the city championship—the other for the D. C. championship. Now whaddays think of that? The last of these four miniature ads is on the Carlisle-Athenian game which game has already been discussed. The attendance average per game for all the above games may be placed at approximately 150 people. Misleading advertisement is to blame. When Mme. C. J. Walker begins to advertise her preparation as good for corn, and when Victory Life announces a willingness to insure the inmates of the morgue—it'll "pay to advertise." C. I. A. A. TRACK AND FIELD MEET MAY 12 By Charles H. Williams HAMPTON, INSTITUTE, Va. Mar. 16.—Hampton Institute will hold the seventh annual intercollegiate track and field meet on Armstrong Field Saturday, May 12. The meet is sanctioned by the C. I. A. A. and bids fair to be the largest one yet at Hampton. Last year more than 150 athletes, representing 16 colleges and high schools, participated in the meet. Each year some records are lowered, which shows the steady development in this department of athletes. Already some of the institutions are said to have athletes training who will lower many of the existing C. I. A. A. records, both in the collegiate and high school divisions. This year Robert S. Abbott, Hampton '76, editor and owner of the Chicago Defender, will give a three-year trophy for the national collegiate mile relay, to be known as the Robert S. Abbott Mile Trophy. This trophy is given under the same conditions as the Madame C. Walker Trophy, which was won by Hampton last year that is, it becomes the permanent property of the first institution winning it three times. A trophy is to be given this year for the first time for the half mile, to be known as the William S. Parker Half-Mile Trophy. Dr. Parker, Hampton '15, makes this offer in the hope of developing more half-mile runners. He was himself a half-miler and hold the half-mile record for Armstrong Field of two minutes and one second. The Frank Young national high school one-mile relay trophy will be given again this year by Mr. Young of the Defender, who is an athletic enthusiast, looking toward the development of amateur athletics among the youth of the race. HOWARD AGAIN DEFEATS LINCOLN LIONS HOWARD AGAIN DEFEATS LINCOLN LIONS By Jinks Johnson The Howard University quintet completely outplayed the Lincoln University tusslers last Saturday night, on the local court, to take a one sided game by a count of 42 to 20. Having been just defeated by the Bison a week ago, the Lions started off as if they were out for revenge. After a few minutes of play, which seemed to baffle the Burrmen, Linclon was leading by a score 8 to 0. Suddenly, like a thunderbolt from a clear-ky, Howard came to life when one of Coates' shots swished through the nets. From then on Howard became the master, scoring at will and forming a defense that was impenetrable. The half ended with a score of 23 to 14 in the local's favor. In the second half Howard continued to show its superiority in shooting and guarding by scoring seventeen points and holding Lincoln to a single field goal. The Lions though, were accredited with the ability to pass the better. In some cases their passing was excessive. Many times the Chester team was in scoring position but failed to register because its choice was to pass. Billy Carpenter (Howard) acted as tutor for his younger brother M. Carpenter (Lincoln) by continually demonstrating the the "hook shot," casting about eight of them from difficult positions. Evidently M. Carpenter did not like the methods of his older brother for he neither attempted to hook the ball nor did he threaten to be as dangeruos a scorer. The game ended less excitingly than it began, except for the "Big parade" of substitutes who amused as well as relieved the regulars. MORGAN BEATS 'FORCE CHICAGO, Ill.-Morgan College defeated the Wilberforce University basketball team here. Monday night by the score 26-25. Pinky Clarke caged the winning tally in the last few seconds. The Wilberforce team played under the name of the Ohio Collegians. BLADENSBURG BASEBALL TEAM ISSUES EARLY CHALLENGE The Bladensburg Athletic Baseball Club will accept games with semi-professional teams on their ground (Bladensburg, Md.) or on other grounds.

The score was 23-16. With Ed Davis and Bus Tinnen cavorting a stellar role and Hooks Simms coming to life with several well directed long range shots, the Signpainters had little trouble from start to finish. The matter of disposing of the invaders seemed placed in very capable hands. The Checks swung into an early lead, and though they were slow at widening the gap, the Greeks were so well kept in hand that they found themselves continually on the short end. Though Bennie Hill, the usually dependable Carlisle mainstay was held scoreless, those of his mates like Simms who seldom breaks into the scoring columns, made up for the star's short-comings. The score at the half was 7-4 with the locals ahead.

Among the teams which have suffered set back at the hands of the Dragons are Morehouse, Morris Brown, winners of the Southern Conference title, Claflin, winner of the South Carolina-Georgia championship, and Morgan College, for 2 years National Collegiate titleholders. The two losses the Virgina lads have suffered were dealt them by Morehouse and Morgan. The first defeat Seminary avenged and the Bears had been trounced in a previous meeting. The 1927-28 Virgina Seminary basketball record follows with 526 points for Seminary as against 283 points by their opponents: 36—Hampton, 19 36—Hampton, 16 50—Va. State, 9 45—Va.

O. Williams' Dunbar Nite School basketball team ran through the Armstrong Nite School representatives in the Dunbar gym last Friday to take the night school title by a 37-12 score. The game was clean and fast, due to Mouse Johnson who kept the play that way. The accurate shooting and clean defense that defeated Covington's "Arrows" last week was again in vogue, and the Armstrong Niters minus Coach E. P. Westmoreland were bewildered. Dunbar was never headed nor was their lead threatened, after Landers and Taylor sank two twin deckers in a row to begin hostilities. At half time the score was 12-4, Dunbar leading. In the second half the Nite Poets went on a scoring rampage which was ended only by the first whistle. Armstrong, the sharp shooter of Dunbar scored 14 points, while Staples added 6 to the same cause. All of the Tech points were scored by McDonald, Capt. Lane, and Harrod, 4 apece, their star forward, Barnes going scoreless.

Stores In All Principal Cities With the successive resignation of the Harrisburg Giants, the Brooklyn Royal Giants and the Hilldale team from the Eastern Colored Baseball League, last week, Negro organized baseball, east of the Alleghenies seems to be doomed. While the junior loop could well have weathered the departure from their midst of Ma Strothers' gang and Nat Strong and Co., the quitting of the Darby crew is a serious blow which may threaten the league's collapse. The action of the Hilldale Club followed a special meeting last Thursday night of the Hilldale Corporation. At this meeting the resignation took place of Charlie Freeman, president; Lloyd Thompson, secretary, and James Byrd, treasurer. Immediately after this action they elected Ed. Bolden, president; George Mayo, vice president and manager; Tom Jenkins, secretary, and Mark Sturdeven, treasurer. The very first act of the new executive was to recommend that Godfrey May Fight NEW YORK.—A match between George Godfrey, the "shadow of Leiperville," Negro heavyweight champion, and Jack Sharkey, the Boston sailor, looms as probable with the announcement released from the offices of J. Humbert Fugazy, boxing promoter, here, last Friday night. The strength of the probability depends largely on the demand of Champion Gene Tunney for a match in June. Tunney is making the deman dof Tex Rickard, who holds the titleholder's contract. If Tunney is sincere in his demand, and if Rickard fails to uncover an opponent who seems promising enough then the above mentioned probability will most likely become an actuality.

The recommendation was adopted and steps taken to notify the league president, Isaac Nutter, of Atlantic City, of the decision. When interviewed by W. Rollo Wilson, vice-president of the Eastern Sports Writers Association Mr. Bolden said: "I recommended that we drop out of the league because the league has not been a money-maker and because there are certain things which should have been done and which have been continually neglected by the league. Most important of these is having a balanced schedule. There are other shortcomings with which the public is familiar and when there seemed to be no hope of definite changes I recommended our withdrawal." The departure of these clubs from the league leaves only four clubs, the Baltimore Black Sox, the New York Lincoln Giants, the Atlantic City Bacharachs and the Cuban Stars in the circuit. Obtain with Sharkey heavyweight luminary, for a 10-round bout at Ebbetts Field, early in May, and follow this attraction with a mauling match between Godfrey, and Sharkey, in what Fugazy hopes will prove to be a real elimination tournament. Sharkey, it will be remembered, is the pug who stumped our long heralded question mark—the Brown Panther, Wills, The winner of either of these fights, Signor Fugazy figures would make an ideal opponent for Tunney in June. Sharkey has accepted terms for the Godfrey fight, and Jimmy Dougherty, big George's manager gave Fugazy authority to match his fighter with anybody he saw fit. The Robert-Hansen fight is already clinched, so it looks like action somewhere soon. THEATRICAL MAMIE SMITH'S BLACK DIAMOND CHORUS EIGHT MAMIE SMITH AT HOWARD THEATRE NEXT WEEK It has been a long, long time, about eighteen months to be exact since the theatregoers of Washington have had an opportunity of seeing the Victor record star, Mamie Smith in a production here. During the coming week, Mamie Smith and he; gang will be the attraction at the Howard Theatre. The gang includes such stars as Amos Davis, Sunny Lee, Joe Russell, Henry Williams, Leon Claxton, Apes Brooks, and many others. Also the world-famous Black Diamond speedy chorus. This new starring vehicle of Miss Smith's is said to be the fastest dancing colored musical show now traveling the road. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be seen "My Friend from India," with Franklin Pangborn and Elinor Fair. From a dapper globe trotter to a dusky POLA NEGRI IN "THE SECRET HOUR" AT THE REPUBLIC The empress of emotion—Pola Negri—will appear in her latest Paramount picture, "The Secret Hour," at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, March 25, 26, and 27. The psychology of love has been so cleverly worked out in "The Secret Hour" that it becomes an unusual picture. The love psychology itself, is comparatively simple, but is handled in a human understanding way by Pola Negri, the star; and Jean Hersholt and Kenneth Thompson, the masculine leads. In certain respects the treatment is a little daring, yet the story is one of tremendous heart interest that comes home to every girl who longs for romance, and every man who dreams of having a wonderful wife. Miss Negri portrays a girl who takes a long chance in the lottery of love. With her it is anything to escape from the life of drudgery. "The Secret Hour" is a three-cornered love affair in which human emotions reveal themselves to a primitive extent, with a strong emotional climax. "The Secret Hour" is a super special picture. Because of the tremendous popularity of Clara Bow, the management of the Republic has been requested that she be shown in one of her earlier pictures. A re-issue of "Dancing Mothers," one of Miss Bow's best pictures has been secured for a run on Wednesday and Thursday, March 28 and 29. Supporting Clara Bow in "Dancing Mothers" are Conway Tearle, Alice Joyce and Donald Keith. The story is of a mother who rebelled against the wild life of her "flapper" daughter and did the things she did to bring the daughter to a realization of modern folly. A Zane Grey thriller, "Nevada" with Gary Cooper, Thelma Todd and William Powell, will be the feature attraction on Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31. Zane Grey knows the West as does no other writer. He knows every inch of the country about which he writes. "Nevada," like all of Zane Grey's stories, is faithful to the West. It has all the dash, thrill and romance of the Western frontier country in the days of the cattle barons, the days of two-gun men, brave sheriffs, picturescowbys, villainous cattle rustlers and lovely heroines. On Saturday only, there will be three talent shows at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30. Manager Sanford of the Republic announces that the Vitaphone installation is going rapidly ahead, and he will shortly be able to announce the date of the opening Vitaphone attraction. Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer," in which you not only see but hear this famous siger of "mammy" songs. "The Jazz Singer" itself is the greatest heart interest drama ever made—a play to make each other more tolerant of the other. NORMA TALMADGE IN "THE DOVE" AND RIN TIN TIN AT THE LINCOLN Norma Talmadge in "The Dove," her first United Artist picture, is to be the feature at the Lincoln Theatre for four days only beginning Sunday, March 25, and continuing through until Wednesday, March 28. Based on Willard Mack's stage play, which ran for a year on Broadway, "The Dove" is a melodramatic tale of the red coast. Miss Talmadge is supported by Noah Beery and Gilbert Roland. "The Dove" is the colorful, quick action narrative of a virtuous dance hall girl, a courageous young American employed in a gambling house and "the best damn caballero in all Costa Roja," Don Jose Maria Sandoval. The film is said to retain all of the color which David Belasco put into the stage version of "The Dove." Roland West, the director, believes the story is even better suited to films, and that in "The Dove," Miss Talmadge achieves new heights in a part as different from her prior characterizations as HOWARD THEATRE SEVENTH STREET at T, NORTHWEST Phone, North 3000 Direction, A. E. Lichtman Rufus G. Byars, Supervisor 3—SHOWS DAILY—3 HER GANG AND THE FAMOUS BLACK DIAMOND SPEED CHORUS Big Midnight Ramble Friday Night, 12:15 Sharp faced fake prince from India, is a mere step for some folk. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, will be seen William Haines in "West Point." William Haines just can't seem to get away from football. In "Brown of Harvard," he made one of the biggest hits of his career in a strenuous football contest, and now in "West Point" CK DIAMOND CHORUS his new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle he again contributes thrills of the gridiron, this time in the annual Army-Navy game between West Point and Annapolis. Haines' new vehicle is a vivid romance of life at West Point, with Haines in the role of a cadet in a story of love, football, and life as one of Uncle Sam's student officers. Joan Crawford, who played opposite him in "Spring Fever," is the heroine. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble will be held beginning at 12:15 sharp. that was from its predecessors. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, will be seen Rin Tin Tin in "Jaws of Steel." "Jaws of Steel" is an exciting story of young prospectors and desert gold. Ray Enright who directed Riny in "Tracked by the Police" directs him in "Jaws of Steel," which includes in its cast Jason Robards, Helen Ferguson, Baby Mary Louise Miller, Robert Perry, Jack Curtis, and George Conners. On Saturday only will be shown the Universal chapter play, "The Vanishing Rider" with William Desmond. At 9 p.m. will be held the opportunity contest at which time three cash prizes will be given to the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience. BIG OPPORTUNITIES IN BEAUTY CONTEST Now comes a chance for pretty girls to win fame, fortune and fun, according to information received from the Nelson Manufacturing Company of Richmond, Va. HOWA SEVENTH STREET a Phone, North Direction, A. E. L. A. This concern will pay large money-prizes, traveling expenses to New York for the formal presentation of the prizes and will also provide a theatrical engagement in New York for the prettiest colored girl entered in this beauty contest. Second and third winners also receive money prizes. In addition to the grand prizes there will be a winner in every city and town from which contestants are entered. A gold plated medal will be awarded each of these local prize winners. The rules of the contest are simple. It is required only that each contestant send her photograph, with a letter of not more than fifty words expressing her opinion of the benefits of Nelson Hair Dressing. It is not necessary to buy the product, for if any contestant has not used it, the manufacturer will send a free sample, on request. An announcement of the full details, listing prizes and rules appear elsewhere in this paper. The contest ends May 31. Among the readers of The Tribune are so many pretty girls, it is expected that this section will be well represented in the Nelson contest, and it is not too much to hope that the grand prize winner, the Nelson Girl, herself will be one of our readers. JOLSON SONG AND SELF GIVEN TO POSTERITY BY VITAPHONE MAGIC Al Jolson has been used to the adulation of the millions, to a degree equalled by few others. He must have marveled at it all. Marvel he did when he sat for the first time in the audience and saw and heard himself on the screen while the crowds that surged about him cheered and whistled. One of the things which impressed him most was the fact that other throngs of people, whom he may never behold, will see and laugh and grow dangerously sentimental, at the songs of a comedian of the twentieth century. The songs Jolson sings in "The Jazz Singer" are "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face," "Toot, Toot, tootsie," "Blue Skies," "My Mammy," "Mother o' Mine," and the sacred song, "Kol Nidre." The great cantor, Josef Rosenblatt, also sings. May McAvoy and Warner Oland lead the strong cast. Alan Crossland directed. Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singes" comes to the Republic Theatre soon. "HARD TO PLEASE ALL," SAYS S. H. DUDLEY, SR. I have had quite a few letters asking me. why I did not take each of the great actors and write on just one of them each week. I will admit that this is a great thought, and one that I overlooked; but I can't think of everything. Then too, I do not write an article every week, because sometimes I'm too busy. I want you to know, that when I write I do it during my spare THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1928 time and for the benefit of the colored show business. It may, or it may not, interest all, but from the response I get I am sure some one appreciates my column. I love to write about my people who have done something. I love to write about those who are doing things, but we have only three recognized stars today, they are Miller and Lyles, and Ethel Waters. Of course we have several good actors and actresses but not stars. Most of our best talent is playing white vaudeville circuits. Many of them started on the . B. O. B. A. I had almost overlooked one great actor that starred—Charles Gilpin who starred in "Emperor Jones." He gained fame in this role, but he could not get anything to follow that with. The character of "Emperor Jones" just fitted him. But why some, or the same, producer did not put Gilpin out in another show I am unable to say. I think he could have made good in another vehicle properly casted. Why haven't we more stars? Can you answer this? Here is my idea of it. The actors of today are not original enough and do not study. Anything the comedian says that draws a laugh, he says it forever; and if another comedian hears it, and observes that it goes over—then he uses the same thing instead of trying to get something original. Most of the comedians of today are trying to imitate some of the old timers and cannot put it over. The public is always ready and willing to make a star if you can bring them something new and deliver the goods; but you must be original. UNCLE DUD WRITES FROM FLORIDA LIVE OAK, Fla.—I just can't keep still I came down here for a rest but I find myself just as busy as if I were in my office. I just returned from Jacksonville, where I spent some pleasant moments with "Buddie" Austin and his lovely wife. Mrs. Austin runs the business while Buddie fishes. I never saw a man so crazy about fishing as Buddie. He has every kind of fishing apparatus that is on the market and a few of his own make. I've gone fishing twice since I've been here and we won't say any more about that. I watched the theatre situation while there. I found that Mr. Austin had cut out the shows and is now playing to big business with pictures. Of course, I did not like to see this but until the actors and managers of these Tabs learn to give the public what it wants I am afraid there will be others to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Austin. C. H. Douglass, retired theatre man, but present business man and banker of Macon, Ga., and one of the wealthest men of our race in that city, was also in Jacksonville.

I will book the above named picture and our latest release "Children of Fate," while I am here and upon my return I hope, to begin the production of our new pictures. I also visited Ocalo and found a real live bunch of business men there. The only Negro owned bank in the state of Florida is in Ocalo. While I'm in Florida I intend to go down to Tampa to see my old friend Bucky Harris and his 1918 gang work out before I leave these parts. This is a great climate. I have not seen my overcoat since the day I arrived here and the only fires I have seen are the fires that are used in the kitchens by housewives and cooks.
