DENTIST WINS IN SUIT
$1,000 Damages Refused
Woman Suing Dr.
R. T. Nelson
A judgment in favor of Dr.
Rembert. T. Nelson, 1910 Fourteenth street, northwest, was rendered by Judge James A. Cobb in municipal court last Friday. Dr.
Nelson sued for $1,000 damages yb Miss Marie Lewis, 1725 T street, northwest.
She alleged that Dr. Nelson placed a bridge in her mouth without treating an abscessed condition or discovering that her gums were affected with pyorrhea, causing her pain and lost of time from employment.
Dr. Nelson denied her allegations.
He said that he mapped out a course of treatment for her. After putting the bridge in her mouth temporarily, she failed to return for him to cement it in, he stated. He claimed that she only paid him $12 on the cost of the work which was $28.
Attorney Armond W. Scott represented him.
CHARGE OF RAPE MAY BE FACED BY YOUTH
A fourteen-year-old high school girl student, reposes in the House of Detention, and her eighteen-year,old lover is being held for the action of the grand jury under a bond of $2,000 on a statuary charge as the result of an eight-day escape indulged in by the couple from May 2 to May 9.
Howard Broadus, a barber shop porter, was arrested by police of the Second precinct on a warrant sworn to by the girl's parents.
The child left her home and stopped school attendance on Wednesday, May 2. Her parents, who on numerous occasions had forbade her meeting Broadus, suspected that he knew of her whereabouts.
Twice relatives of the child met Broadus and demanded that he disclose where the girl was hiding, but on each occasion the man denied any knowledge of the girl's location.
Follows Broadus
On Wednesday night, May 9, an aunt of the child waited outside an O street barber shop, between Seventh and Eighth streets, northwest, where Broadus was employed, until he was off duty. When Broadus left the place, the aunt followed him to an address in L street near Third street, northwest, where he entered.
The aunt inquired in a nearby restaurant as to whether or not the proprietor of the place had recently seen a child who might agree with the missing girl's description, and was told that she and a young man, passing as a married couple, had eaten there the day previous.
Broadus Arrested
The aunt immediately went to the child's home and told the girl's mother of her discovery. The two went to the Second precinct, secured a warrant and went with police to the L street address where both the girl and Broadus were arrested in their room. The child told police and her parents that she went with Broadus willingly, and that he had promised to marry her "when he was able." Broadus maintained that he intended to marry the child. The court, however, ruled that inasmuch as the child was a minor she did not have the power to give such consent. Under such a point of law a charge of rape can be held against Broadus. This crime carries in the District of Columbia, the death sentence.
CUTS WIFE'S THROAT THEN SLASHES OWN
During an altercation at 1507 S street, northwest, shortly after midnight last Friday Henry McFadden, 50 years old cut the throat of his wife, Pauline, S3, then attempted suicide by slashing his own throat. The man is at Emergency Hospital in fairly good condition, while his wife, for whom doctors held little hope for recovery is at Freedman's in a much improved state.

Second Battalion of Armstrong Gets First Honors In Drill
The Second Battalion, made up of Companies C, D, and G, cadets of the Armstrong High School, and commanded by Major Eaton Harrison, was decided victorious in the annual competitive battalion drill of the Twenty-fourth Regiment held Tuesday afternoon in the Howard University Stadium.
Nearly 5,000 persons, young and old, but comprising mostly of the student bodies of the two schools were on hand to witness the second consecutive victory of the Orange and Blue battalion. The competition last year went to the Second Battalion, then commanded by Major Clifton Davis.
The Armstrong unit followed the Third Battalion, made up of companies from both the Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools. The First Battalion headed the program. Each unit went through a short program of close order and setting-up exercises. The regiment was reviewed and prizes were awarded by Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, Mrs. Mary McNeill, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, and Captain Arthur C. Newman.
Henry Letcher, Louis Dabney and Wendell DeBose, captain of the companies in the winning battalion were awarded silver medals. Major Harrison was presented with a gold medal.
ARMSTRONG GRADUATE MAKES GOOD AT TRADE
Herewith the Washington Tribune begins a series of articles which will run under a general caption, "High School Graduates Who Have Made Good in Business." The first story deals with an Armstrong, High alumnus. The first installment deals with Sandy Levi, graduate of Armstrong Technical High School, in the June Class of 1923. Levi finished his high school education, with a very good knowledge of the course in shoe repairing. He entered that field of business immediately upon leaving school. Levi opened a shop at 5088 Fourand-a-half street, southwest, and began soliciting the trade of that vicinity. It was not long before Levi established himself as an amiable dealer, an exceptional worker, and a good business man. Before a year had elapsed, he realized that his qualifying characteristics had made him. Business became good. About two years later, Levi married Miss Nellie Timmons, a member of the junior class, when he graduated. The Levis have two children, and are happy.
In 1927, four years after his graduation and opening of the business, Levi (whose Jewish name perhaps had a tendency to make him out-jew a Jew—Boby by name), bought three stores in the same row with the one in which he now operates. The fact that the purchase involved an $11,500 cash transaction, after less than five years of operation, is in itself the greatest kind of a recommendation for the business ability of Sandy Levi.

The Board of Education and Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of public schools, were cited, Monday, by Justice Wendell P. Stafford to show cause on June 1, why Miss Beatrice S. Catlett, 943 S streets, northwest, and Richard A. Gillem, 932 Westminster street, northwest, both teachers in the Shaw Junior High school, should not be placed in the 2-C salary class.
Miss. Catlett and Mr. Gillem are now in the 2-A salary group. The minimum pay in that class is $1,600 a year. The maximum is $2,400. The minimum pay in the 2-C salary class is $1,800. The maximum is $2,800.
In their petitions for writs of andamus they claim that they possess the eligibility requirements for classification in the 2-C salary group.
Appointed in 1905
Miss Catlett graduated from the Washington Normal school, No. 2, in June, 1903, and from Howard University with the degree of bachelor of arts, June 12, 1926. She was appointed to teach in the elementary schools in September, 1903, and promoted to teach in the junior high schools in February, 1924.
Mr. Gillem graduated from Washington Normal school, No. 2, in June, 1905, and from Howard University with the degree of bachelor of arts, August 15, 1924. He was appointed to teach in the elementary schools in October, 1905, and promoted to the junior high schools in February, 1924.
The eligibility requirements for placement in the 2-C salary group is a degree from an accredited college or a graduation certificate from an accredited normal school and five years' teaching experience in a high school.
GIRL SNATCHED OFF U STREET IN FORD AND RAPED
GIRL SNATCHED OFF U STREET IN FORD AND RAPED
A city-wide search is being made by police for a rapist who, on last Friday night stopped a 13-year-old girl on U street, dragged her into a Ford touring car, he was driving, drove to Nineteenth and Vernon streets, and assaulted her.
The girl, questioned by police of the Eighth precinct, asserted that she was walking part of the way home with a girl cousin.
Before leaving, the children had been cautioned to keep to the well-lighted streets. This they did. Upon reaching Sixteenth and U streets, the girls parted; one to continue home, the other to return home. The little girl, returning as she was told by way of U street, had gotten half way of the block between Seventeenth and Eighteenth, when she passed several young boys standing in front of one of the houses.
Having passed them she saw a Ford draw up alongside the curb. The driver spoke to her in a low voice, but she did not understand him. He spoke again, and this time, the child says, she understood the man to ask if the boys had bothered her.
The little girl, in her youthful innocence moved closer to the car that she might better make out the man's words. The man reached out with a suddenness that surprised the child, pulled her into the car, took her to Nineteenth and Vernon, meanwhile threatening to "stick this knife" in her if she made an outry.
Afterward, the child declared, the man drove to Twenty-third and Pancroft streets and put her out. She ran into a house nearby, but by the time the occupants were aroused the man and car had disappeared.
A telephone call from the house summoned Policeman R. L. Jones, who took the little girl to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was ex-siens.

JACKSON GETS 7th STAY
Execution to Await Action of Coolidge on Plea for Clemency
Philip Jackson was granted his seventh stay of execution by Justice Siddons last Friday. He was to die in the new electric chair in the District jail Tuesday. His lawyer, John H. Wilson, however, went into court and asked for another stay for the condemned man in order to give President Coolidge an opportunity to pass upon Jackson's plea for executive clemency.
Justice Siddons postponed the execution until May 29, giving Jackson two more weeks to live.
In his petition for executive clemency, Jackson declares that he is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted and sentenced to die.
Attorney Wilson points out that Justice Hoehling, the trial judge, denied Jackson's plea for an insanity hearing.
Jackson was convicted on a charge of criminally assaulting a white woman in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18, 1927.
FIGHT OVER CABBAGE GETS 30 DAYS IN JAIL AND BEANS
"Silence in the court, the King's eatin' cabbage"—If there ever was occasion for use of such an expression, that occasion was most assuredly duplicated last Monday morning when ballists court erriers and whatnots, adorning the inner realms of Police Court Judge Schultze's branch, called for law and order as the eminent justice heard evidence in the assault case against George Rhone, No. 5, Fitzmaurice Court, Northwest.
More than once the courtroom went into an uproar as Rhone taking the stand in defense against the assault charge told how he broke upon the door of the house, knocked down Herbert (Babb) Thomas, threw a lamp at another occupant of the house, and walked over the prone body of Mrs. Julia Times, because somebody had been eating his cabbage.
Mrs. Times, who is blind, operates a boarding house at the Fitzmaurice Court address. Rhone, she declared at the trial, is a boarder. He purchased some cabbage last Saturday afternoon and asked that he be allowed to cook them on her stove. Mrs. Times, not only told Rhone he could do so but offered to cook the cabbage for him, she told police.
The cabbages were cooked. When Rhone came home that evening he testified that he caught Thomas with a spoon, and eating his vegetables. This, both Thomas and Mrs. Times denied. A discussion arose between the witnesses to the amusement of the spectators. The discussion turned into an argument which was finally ended when Assistant U. S. Attorney Ralph Given informed the principals that it was not a matter involving the ownership of the cabbage, but one of prosecution of the one charged with assault.
Judge Schultz gave Rhone 30 days in which to learn to eat beans instead of cabbage.
PERRY HOWARD WINS VICTORY IN COURT
JACKSON, Miss., May 17.—The Supreme Court of Mississippi, Monday, reversed Chancello r T. Price Dale of Hattiesburg, who granted an injunction restraining the regular Republican party in Mississippi from holding its convention in March. It dissolved the injunction and remanded the case to the lower court.
Perry W. Howard, the Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and chairman of the state committee, and his organization appealed from a ruling of the chancellor dismissing a demurrier and granting the injunction.
Attorneys for the Howard organization contended that a equity court had no jurisdiction over political controversies.
The suit for an injunction was filed on the ground that the call for the conventions did not comply with the state primary election laws.
While the case was pending in the courts, the Howard organization issued new calls, held conventions and elected twelve delegates to the national convention
Washingtonians Elected to Office at A.M.E.Z. General Conference at St. Louis

D.C. MEN
ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 17—The twenty-eighth quadrennial General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, which opened in this city on May 2, will close here next week. The past week has been occupied principally with the election of bishops and general officers.
Rev. W. W. Matthews, Missionary Secretary for 8 years, was elected bishop on the second ballot. Dr. F. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., was elected bishop on the ninth ballot. Rev. H. T. Medford, pastor of John Wesley Church, Washington, D. C., was elected Missionary Secretary and Editor of the Missionary Seer. He was elected on the first ballot.
Other Officers
Rev. H. C. Weeden, Louisville, Ky., was elected General Secretary. Dr. W. H. Goler, Salisbury, N. C., was elected Financial Secretary. R. W. Sherrill of Salisbury, N. C., was elected Manager of the Publishing House at Charlotte, N. C. Dr. W. H. Davenport, Charlotte, N. C., was elected editor of the Star of Zion. Dr. W. O. Carrington, New Rochelle, N. Y., was elected Editor of the Quarterly Review.
Professor J. W. Younge of Greenville, Tenn., was elected Educational Secretary. J. Francis Lee of Charlotte, N. C., elected editor Sunday School literature.
Attorney S. M. Dudley of Washington, D. C., was elected Church Extension Secretary. Professor Aaron Brown of Pensacola, Fla., was elected Secretary of Religious Education. Professor J. W. Eichelberger of Chicago, Ill., was elected secretary of Religious Education.
Mid-Year Conferences
By an overwhelming majority, the delegates voted to discontinue the mid-year conferences. There has been much opposition to the mid-year conferences from both the ministers and laymen. They complained that practically little good was accomplished and the cost to the churches was a burden. Bishop E. D. W. Jones of Washington, D. C., made a stirring speech against misuse of funds. He presented concrete facts to substantiate his charges which were aimed at Bishop L. W. Kyle of Winston-Salem, N. C. The next day Bishop Kyle replied. In his address he worked himself up into a high state of excitement and then collapsed with tears streaming down his cheeks. This act apparently won the sympathy of a number of delegates. It required nearly an half an hour to compose Bishop Kyle.

J. R. HAWKIN REPORT TO BECOMES
Fight Still Waging for Equal Representation of Laymen
ELECTIONS BEGIN
Conference May Be In Session for Two Weeks Longer
J. R. HAWKINS' FINANCIAL REPORT TO A. M. E. BECOMES KEYNOTE
CHICAGO, Ill., May 17—The A. M. E. General Conference is closing its second week here. From the point of legislation passed, attendance and interest, this conference has excelled any in the history of the church. Practically all of the reports of the General Officers have now been made. Balloting for bishops and officers began late Thursday. The conference will possibly be in session two more weeks.
Professor John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the church submitted his report to the conference. It was pronounced as the greatest document ever delivered in the history of the church. After the reading of the report the speech delivered by Professor Hawkins, the General Conference cheered for over thirty minutes.
The report of the Financial Department showed that the denomination was enjoying a healthy financial growth. More than a million and a half dollars have been paid into the department and in dollar money alone there had been an increase of more than $150,000. Through the financial department, many churches, schools, and other departments of the church have been helped materially.
The Key-note
It was immediately taken as the key note of the General Conference. Among the recommendations made were: 1. More religion in business and more business in religion. 2. Higher standards for the ministry. 3. Equalization of Presiding Elder districts. 4. Equalization of Episcopal Districts. 5. Rotation of Bishops at least every eight years. 6. Better support for the Bishops and General Officers. 7. Better provisions for the super-annuated ministers, widows and orphans. Practically all of these measures are expected to pass the General Conference. A resolution has already passed the conference for the moving of all Bishops who have served two or more terms in one district. Professor Hawkins recommended that the Bishops be paid a larger salary and then make it mandatory upon the annual conference that no part of the general funds be diverted from other channels by way of supplementary gifts. Bishop A. J. Carey was host to the entire General Conference on Monday. He carried the delegates and visitors on an extensive sight seeing trip all over the city.
Bishops Ask Exceptions
Much interest was stirred up over the report from the inner chambers that Bishop J. S. Flipper of Georgia and Bishop Joshua A. Jones of Ohio had requested that exceptions be made in their cases with regard to the appointment of bishops under the new rule which makes it compulsory that all bishops must be moved

H. U. PREXY MAKES WORLD PEACE PLEA
Speaking at the one hundredth anniversary of the American Peace Society at Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday evening, May 10, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, made a plea for the organization of a world peace inclusive of justice to the darker races in Africa, India, China, and elsewhere throughout the world. He expressed also his belief that the United States and Canada were in a strategic position to be world leaders in the establishment of such a peace, offering the darker peoples of the earth a persuasive alternative to the choice which they now have between European agression and the call of Russia.
"The peace which we seek in the world," said Dr. Johnson, "is not a mere cessation from war; it is vigorous and quiet functioning of the will to righteousness. Such a peace cannot be secured by the establishment of amity in the relations of the white western powers alone; it must include also the vigorous functioning of the will to righteousness between the white and darker peoples of the earth. For the strife between the western white-powers involve the land, resources, governments and very lives of the darker peoples of Africa, India, China and the rest of the world. Institutions established for the maintenance of world peace must secure for these people the liberty which they seek, with adequate guarantees for the orderly development of the scope and efficiency of their powers through internally controlled agencies, and a world-wide recognition of the fact that they have something of culture to give as well as receive."

BEN DAVIS RECEIVED $2,000
Hoover Money Distributed to Secure Delegates in Southland
Rush L. Holland, a former assistant attorney general, who is now in charge of the Hoover campaign in southern states, testified Wednesday before the Senate committee investigating campaign expenditures that he had given Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeeman for Georgia, $2,000 each to carry on the fight for the election of Hoover delegates in their states.
rM. Holland also stated that he had "paid $200 a week toward maintaining headquarters here conducted by Perry W. Howard." Mr. Howard was to assist in the Hoover campaign for this money, which amounted to another $2,000. He also said that he had given Mr. Davis $200 for expenses incurred by him on two trips to Washington.
Mr. Holland also testified that Secretary of Commerce Hoover had shown him the order abolishing segregation in the census bureau.
Oliver D. Street, Alabama committee, received $1,000. The Florida Protective Tariff Association was given $2,500, and Glenn B. Skipper, vice chairman of the Florida state central committee, received $500.
DAVIS THINKS HOOVER WILL BE NOMINATED
Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman for Georgia, who was here this week on a political mission, scouted the idea that President Coolidge will permit the use of his name at the Republican national convention at Kansas City, June 12.
Mr. Davis is a Coolidge enthusiast, but he says that he is firmly convinced that the President does not intend to run again. He pointed out that on three occasions Mr. Coolidge has stated that he is not a candidate. He believes that the President's wishes will be respected.
Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, Mr. Davis thinks, will be nominated. The Georgia delegation will support him.
There will be only three contests from Georgia at the Republican national convention. This is unprecedented. At each national convention there has been a contest from each district in Georgia and also one from the state at large.
Mr. Davis has been re-elected national committeeman. His selection will be ratified at Kansas City.
MEMPHIS BANKERS GO TO TRIAL MAY 21
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 17 (A. N.P.)—Interest was revived in the failure of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank Saturday following the announcement that the indicted officers of the defunct institution will be tried Monday, May 21. The trial is expected to last more than two weeks. The defendants are: T. H Hayes, A. F. Ward, Leroy Williams, E. J. Raspberry, G. W. Atkins, J. L. Yancy and P. W. Thornton. These men are charged with a shortage of some $250,000, and the attorney general has issued the edict that he will do everything in his power to send them to prison.
DANIEL CARROLL HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Daniel Cee Carroll, chaffeur, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury on a charge of assault under $3,000 bond by Police Judge Schultze, last Friday. Carroll was arrested Tuesday, April 16, the day after he is alleged to have criminally assaulted a twelve-year-old Wilson, graded school girl, in the janitor's quarters of a California street apartment house. The preliminary hearing was the failure of his white attorney first set for April 19, but due to a topear in court, the hearing was postponed. The case was continued no less than half dozen times for the same reason. On last Friday, however, the prosecution tired of the delay and ordered the trial carried on.

THE SCULPTURED HEAD OF PAUL ROBESON, by Epstein, of London, is placed at an angle to make the jaw project, and lacks Robeson's height of brow.

THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES PAY BILL is objectionable to Senator Reed Smoot because it costs too much. Very much like the lady who prided herself upon a low-paid butler for a costly house and an allowance of $10,000 a year for herself. Senator, with the sinking fund, interest on indebtedness, upkeep and improvements cared for, the next step is to distribute the surplus among the employees.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND THE NEGRO
Just now there is considerable publicity anent the means taken by certain public utilities to control instruction in the schools in order to induce the younger generation to think favorably of their methods of business. Why we should be asked to regard the utilities as enemies seeking whom they might devour, does not become apparent. They render a service which benefits the masses of the people, and they do it by combination which permits the reduction of costs through mass production and unified service.
The "individual competition" idea has been over-preached. People have been fooled by it long enough. There is very little choice between being exploited by an individual and by a corporation. If anything, the balance is in favor of the corporation because its shares are held by hundreds and sometimes thousands of people, and the profits are distributed, not hoarded or used by one lone individual with great power. Those who oppose private management of public utilities often clamor in the next breath for freedom from governmental regulation; they blow hot and cold as it affects their personal interests.
Our group, largely spectators and beneficiaries of utilities, when they can rent or buy houses in a decent neighborhood, find them most helpful in aiding the solution of problems of city life. Occasionally they find employment on equal and fair economic terms, like the two gangs of colored wireden in the employ of the Potomac Electric Power Company of this city for the past twenty-five years, and thus witness the sharp difference between utilities which are largely impersonal and the private employer who is not.
We would like to see large corporation-owned utilities cover the South, where we have as competent workmen as any to be found, and know that they would be employed in fields other than menial. Efficiency is the keynote of corporation-owned utilities because by any other method of operation they could not continue to pay dividends. That they charge "all the traffic will bear" is in no way dissimilar to the practice in other lines. In addition, they give equal and impersonal service, and that is not true of individual enterprise in the main, nor of the government of the towns, cities or states when the buyer is tinted with Afric mists.
Corporations are but highly organized developments in the economic world, similar to highly developed organisms in the natural world; to kick against them is like the elephant complaining that man is more efficient and consequently gets more out of life.

TEACHING YOUTH ABOUT
LIFE
Now that the school administration has authorized a committee to prepare for instruction about the mysteries of life, we may hope, plan and expect to save some of the finer aspects of civilization which are slowly being wasted through ignorance, false teaching and false modesty.
All things being equal, the parents are the best teachers of their own children, but for some very peculiar reasons, parents are the last people to tell their children what the children are yearning to know. All too often, they tell them of life and how new life comes into being in terms that are mystical and not in accord with what the children pick up in their street contacts.
Commercialized amusement, liberty of attitude in the relations of boys and girls, and the new doctrine of "danger in suppression," have combined to produce a serious condition which threatens the gains of society in controlling sex desires. The cure is in knowledge, and no institution is so well prepared to give the knowledge in an impersonal manner, as the schools.
The phenomena of nature necessarily observed by children in the relations of bees and flowers, and in the hatching of chickens and birds from eggs, offer splendid avenues for the kind of information on the reasons and operation of sex. Such things are included in the teaching of elementary science and nature study. They satisfy curiosity by lifting the sex question from a merely personal affair to an universal. They point to the fact that each person is a player in the great harmony of Nature, and open the way for teaching the operation of law and punishment not by men but by nature itself.
Parenthood and children are noted as the ends to which all nature plans her attractions and upon which she places the responsibility for disobedience to her laws.
Sex education is guaranteed to save the family just at the time that it seems to be threatened by new liberty and divorce, because the family is seen to be the institution which best favors parenthood and children which are the end of that powerful urge which so disturbs youth.
VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY
Last Sunday the World carried an interesting story by Lester Walton, who told how Augustus Jackson, colored, invented ice cream in Philadelphia in 1837. Walton missed the fact by more than 150 years. The records show that ice cream was made in England as early as 1679, and in New York it was advertised as early as 1777.
It is easy to understand how the historian may become enthusiastic over a find, and may rush into print with it; especially when it connects with a group which has a record for doing but little. Possibly, long association with the white writers who claim everything in sight for the white branch of the human family, may have corrupted Mr. Walton. That the demand for copy was insistent offers another possible excuse for Mr. Walton's haste. But whatever the cause, the fact remains that Mr. Walton stands confronted with evidence of lack of verification for his story, and thus finds his future greatly discredited as an authority for the things that may be published over his signature, or under it.
There is an unwritten law of journalism which Mr. Walton neglected and which all too many of our writers hold too lightly—in the smallest matter of fact, verify! verify! verify!
If pressed for time and unable to find satisfactory verification, it is splendid practice either to state the matter as an unverified fact, or to refuse to state it at all.
Thiggs that do not get into print hurt nobody.
"The real problem raised by the Negro in American life is whether our civilization shall have an ethical basis. Is our Christianity vital enough to meet the situation, or must we depend upon the pagan principles of self-interest and dominance by force? This, rather than the fate of the Negroes, is the fundamental question for the white man to answer."—R. B. Eleazer.

MY CHILDHOOD DAYS
By Walter Todd
I! my childhood days I could enjoy
How happy I could be____
And singing a sweet lullaby,
Until to sleep I go.
How well I remember the brook
In which I use to play;
Also the trees I sat beneath
And passed the time away
Listening to the mocking birds
But now a change has taken place. Putting those times to flight:
And sang the songs of yore— Those days have gone beyond recall Yes—gone forever more.

EARN A BOOK WHILE HAVING LOTS OF FUN
This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of not less than ten words; each word must contain at least one set of double letters.
The main things to bear in mind are: each sentence must contain not less than ten words; each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, every word must contain double letters; do not use more than TWO proper names.
Do not make two words of one word, such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word). Hyphenated words are permissible.
The editor of the Kiddies' Corner will give a book for what he considers the best sentence.
All letters must be addressed to the Editor, "Kiddies' Corner" and must be in the Tribune office, 920 U street, Northwest, not later than 8 p.m., Tuesday, May 22. Winner will be announced, Friday, May 25. You may send in as many sentences as you wish, providing that one coupon (as below) cut out of the Tribune, accompanies them.

Do not think that your sentence will be worse than others that are submitted. Try to convince yourself that your sentence will be better, or, at least just as good as any others sent in.
Remember, Tribunites, that the sentences that are understood easiest are given preference in the awarding of prizes. Some sentences are very good, but they have to be read two or three times before the meaning is clear.
Don't write less than ten words.
Parents, Be Fair
Parents are not fair who make sentences for their children. To make sentences and give them to the kiddies to send in is teaching them to cheat. Let the kiddy carn what he or she gets.
A BOY HERO
A Carnegie hero medal is being sought for Bud-Francis, thirteen-year-old Mississippi Negro boy, for saving the lives of three small children who had fallen into an abandoned well. While spectators screamed helplessly, Bud slid down an iron pipe to the bottom of the forty-foot well, pulled the babies out of the water and set them on a ledge, where he guarded them until a basket could be lowered.
Don't Say Nigger
Dear Editor: "I see from reading, "The Pathfinder" some facts, relative to the origin of Mansoleums. We see them so often in movies that it is a good idea to know something of them.
A large stately tomb is called a "mausoleum" from the ancient tomb of Mausolus in Asia Minor. Hecatomnus, king of Caria, left three sons and two daughters. According to a practice common among the royal families under the protection of the Persian empire, Mausolus, the eldest son, married Artemisia, the elder sister. By a law peculiar to Caria, Artemisia would ascend the throne if she survived her brother-husband.
She became a widow and consequently queen of Caria. To show her respect for the memory of King Mausolus she had a beautiful and splendid monument erected for him at Halicarnassus, the capital. This tomb, it is supposed, was erected about 352 B.C. It was one of the most gorgeous and tasteful specimens of architectural sculpture the world has ever known. The ancients considered it one of the seven wonders of the world.

PASTRY MAKING
By Mrs. G. C. Hopkins
To obtain the best results in any type of pastry, a few general rules should be observed.
Do not mix the fat too thoroughly with the flour—the coarser the mixture, the flakier the crust will be.
Add only enough water to hold the dry ingredients together in a lump, so that the mixture may be rolled out to a sheet. Excess water causes the crust to be tough besides involving difficulty in rolling.
Do not use too much flour on the board for rolling. A piece of canvas or a heavy towel spread out and well floured is more satisfactory for rolling the dough than a board or enameled surface. The meshes of the cloth hold just the right amount of flour to keep the dough from sticking. The cloth may be shaken out after each using and folded up for the next time—it does not have to be washed after every pie. Roll only one crust at a time, using a gentle pressure and rolling from the center out. Lift up the edges of the crust occasionally to see whether it is sticking to the board. If necessary, sprinkle a little flour under the crust.
Keep out Air
fit the crust carefully into the curves of the pan, leaving no air spaces to bulge the crust up during baking. If the crust is to be baked before adding the filling, prick it generously with a fork—this will also help to eliminate bubbles in the crust.
Fasten two-crust pies well at the edges by brushing the lower edge with water and pressing the upper edge down with a fork or by folding into scallops with the finger tips. The juice may be further prevented from escaping, particularly in berry pies, by adding flour to the sugar used for sweetening.
The upper crust should always be pricked or slashed occasionally to allow the escape of steam.
To prevent soaking of the lower crust, the surface may be sprinkled with flour or brushed with egg white or melted lard or butter before adding the filling.
The Oven
Bake all pastry in as hot an oven as possible, taking into consideration the kind of filling, size of pie, etc.
Custard pies should be started in a hot oven (375 degrees F.) to set the crust, then the heat quickly reduced to 300 or even less to bake the custard slowly.
Apple pies should be baked at 450 degrees F. until browning starts, the temperature reduced to cook the apples thoroughly. When a fork pierces the center easily,
---
Pie crust, either plain or flaky, needs a hot oven (about 450 degrees F.)
**Raisin Pie**
1½ cups flour, 1-3 cup lard, ½ (seedless), ¾ cup water, grated rind of lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lard or butter, ¾ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
Mix cornstarch, sugar and salt; stir in water. Cook until thick. Add lard or butter, lemon juice and raisins. Cool before pouring into pie tin lined with following dough.

METHODIST UNION IS HONORED

organic union. The measure was also favored by Bishop W. T. Vernon, Bishop R. C. Ransom, Bishop W. Decker Johnson, Bishop H. B. Parks.
After a protracted filibuster in which Bishop J. S. Flipper of Georgia was one of the leaders, the General Conference voted overwhelmingly for organic union.
The report recommended the uniting of the two Methodist bodies. It covered the two meetings of the joint commission. One meeting was held in Washington, D. C., on January 5, 1927, and one in Pittsburgh, Pa., June 21, 1927.
Up to Annual Conferences
The report stated that in case of favorable action by the General Conferences of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches approving the Organic Union, that the machinery he set in motion to have the question passed down to the Annual Conferences and the people in the several charges for consideration and action in time to make it possible for calling a United General Conference in 1930. This United Conference to be composed of the delegates composing the General Conferences of the two churches for 1928.
"United Methodist Episcopal Church" is the name suggested for the combined bodies. This name the report states is universal in meaning and is not confined to any race or country. The report further states that by using the name Methodist, the doors will always be open to all groups of Methodists so they can unite with the first two named churches any time in the future. There would be thirty Episcopal Districts and Conferences in the

united body under the plans of the Joint Commission. This is simply the consolidating of the Episcopal districts the two churches now have. The A. M. E. Church has eighteen and the A. M. E. Zion twelve.
Fifteen General Departments
Fifteen General Departments
Fifteen general departments
would take care of the work of the
united bodies according to the
plans submitted. This would be a
b big savings to the churches as
the A. M. E. Church now has fourteen
departments while the Zion Church
has eleven departments. This plan
calls for three publication houses,
one in Philadelphia, one in Charlotte,
N. C., and one in Nashville,
Tenn. Under this plan there would
be a church school publication to
be called the Church School Herald
and the editor would be elected
by the Board of Religious Endeavors.
Another new department that
would be created is the Department
of History and Statistics. A secretary would be in charge of this department.
The commission recommended that the representative of the present two churches be allocated an equal number of recommendations of general officers for election for the first eight years of the proposed United Methodist Episcopal Church. The titles of all property now vested in the two churches would be vested in the United Methodist Episcopal Church according to the regular legal process is the recommendation of the commission.
Report Was Cheered
The report was wildly cheered by the General Conference. Sentiment at the A. M. E. Zion General Conference in St. Louis, where a similar report has been submitted, is said to also be favorable. The two churches have been talking of organic union for a number of years. The last General Conferences discussed the matter and referred it to special committees. The members of the Joint Commission are: A. M. E. Church: Bishop John Albert Johnson, Bishop A. J. Carey, Bishop John Hurst, Rev. A. J. Wilson, Rev. R. S. Jenks, Rev. H. K. Spearman, Professor John R. Hawkins. For the A. M. E. Zion Church: Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Bishop G. C. Clement, Bishop L. W. Kyles, Rev. F. W. Riley, Rev. W. A. Blackwell, Rev. R. R. Ball, Robert Lee Brokenburk, Professor W. J. Trent, and Professor James W. Eichelberger, Jr.

every eight years. This resolution passed with a big majority despite the strenuous opposition of most of the bishops. These pleas it is said fell on deaf ears and the bishops will be moved.
The laymen under the leadership of Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., and Attorney W. H. C. Brown of Newport News, Va., and others, are making a determined fight for equal lay representation in the conference. In their fight they have the militant support of Bishop R. C. Ransom. The older bishops headed by Bishop J. H. Jones are vigorously opposing this move.
Many important pieces of legislation are yet to come before the conference. There are whisperings that a resolution instructing the Episcopal Committee to retire all bishops who have passed the age of seventy. If this resolution becomes a law, several bishops will be affected.

IN MEMORIAM
HATTON—In loving memory of my dear husband, Isaiah T. Hatton, who departed this life seven years ago, May 17, 1921.
Death robs the living, not the dead;
they sweetly sleep whose tasks
are done;
But we are weaker than before,
who still must live and labor
on;
For when come care and grief to
us, and heavy burdens bring us
woe,
We miss the smiling helpful ones,
on whom we leaned long years
ago.

WEEKLY SERMON
LORD, REMEMBER ME
By Rev. J. A. Davis
A. E.
REV. J. A. DAVIS, assistant Pastor, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church
REV. J. A. DAVIS, assistant Pastor, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.
"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Luke 23-42.
Jesus had for three years been traversing the land of Judea, giving the light of the gospel to those who were in darkness, healing the sick and making the miserable and desponding happy.
No teacher before him, and certainly none since had, or have ever delivered such discourses, wrought such miracles, not exhibited such piety, and love; yet by the malice and prejudice of his own race he was persecuted even unto death.
But his death, like every other part of his wonderful history, is distinguished by scenes of the most wonderful character. The rocks rend, the earth quakes, the sun refuses to shine, and the veil of the temple is rent in twain. During these amazing phenomena, we are called to witness the conduct of those robbers who were suffering with our Lord.
One of them joined in the unbelieving railing of the mob, but the other reubek him. And in the words of our text, said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Let us notice this sinner's prayer. It was short and comprehensive. A few words embody all his requests, but in those words, what an immensity of meaning!
Then it was spiritual in its object. Unlike many of our prayers, it did not refer to the body. Not to ease or mitigation; or even to his life, but it had respect to his soul and a future world.
Then it was a prayer of mighty faith. Faith in the soul's immortality, faith in a future state, faith in a dying Christ, and faith in a living Jesus, whom he addresses as Lord. But where were the sign of Christ's dignity and power? Though the thief had never seen any of these signs, yet he honored Christ as Lord.
Moses believed, but then God addressed him and showed him the symbol of his presence in the burning bush. Abraham believed, but then he had many precious promises. Isaiah believed, but he had seen the glory of the Christ. John the Baptist believed, but he saw the heavens opened. The disciples believed, but they beheld his mighty works, his wondrous miracles, and his transfiguration. Even Paul was surrounded with his resplendent glory, but this man, this dying malfactor beheld my Lord and your Christ in the depth of his sorrows; in the period of his abasement, reviled and crucified as an enemy to God and man, and yet his faith penetrated through it all, and he recognized in that sufferer the Lord of the universe, the only Saviour of the world, so believing in Christ as to rest his soul upon him, and depend upon his mercy for eternal life. He saw no sceptre, he beheld no crown, had no prospect of a kingdom, yet he recog-
lie the Reverend George Frazier Miller, rector of St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn, New York, on next Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service. Reverend Dr. Miller is well known in this city through his connection Equal Rights League, and is nationally known in Episcopalian circles as an eloquent speaker.

nized all these as rightly belonging to Jesus, and as such he prayed. "Lord, remember me. . ."
The prayer was associated with the genuine fruits of repentance. Saving faith and repentance are ever joined together. He confesses his own guilt when he said, "We indeed suffer justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss."
He rebukes the impiety of his fellow malefactor, "Dost thou not fear God?" he affirms the innocence and the holiness of Jesus. Thus his lest moments were spent in confession of sin, reproof of wickedness, and in vindication of our blessed Lord.
His prayer was effectual. He did not pray in vain, for Jesus was not so absorbed in his own agonies as to neglect the suppliant by his side.
He listened to his petition, he entertained his request and richly exhibited towards him the fulness of his grace. Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and his last act was to save one from sin and guilt.

"That is in itself no small thing." Mr. Rutherford says. "It is justly a matter for pride and we are proud of it. But we of the National Benefit are proud by far of what these impressive figures mean, the incalculable, practical benefits they represent, the accumulated economic force to which they bear silent,

System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C. says:
"I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison.
"One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years.
"Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation."

CRIMINALATTACK ON 9-YR-OLD IS REVEALED
Police Judge Schultze, last Friday, ordered Harry Johnson, 26, held for the action of the Grand Jury under $3,000 bond in connection with a charge of rape on a 9-year-old girl.
Johnson was arrested last Thursday, on a warrant sworn to by the child's parents. The crime was committed Tuesday night, but Georgiana Mason, 21 years old, the only person other than the girl who knew of the man's act, did not report the affair until the morning of the arrest.
When asked her reason for failing to report the incident before she did, Miss Mason declared that Johnson had been her friend and her failure to make known his crime was an effort to shield him. Finally, however, she declared, she convinced herself that it was the right thing to do.
Child is Asleep
Johnson has a back room and Miss Mason a front room at the home of the parents of the child who was assaulted.
Miss Mason was cleaning in Johnson's room. The little girl, whom Miss Mason says is exceptionally fond of her, came into the room. The child lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Shortly afterward Miss Mason herself went into a doze, from which she was aroused about fifteen minutes later by the little girl's crying.
Miss Mason said she awoke and found the little girl struggling to free herself from Johnson's grasp. They were on the man's bed. The woman then picked the child up and took her to her own room and put her to bed.
Woman Decides to Tell
The next day she did not tell the child's parents, and told the little girl not to do so herself. On Thursday, Miss Mason said she became so enraged at the violation of her confidence by the man that she decided to reveal the facts. She told the child's mother, and on Thursday night when Johnson entered the house from his work, he found himself confronted by two policemen of the Second Precinct. Johnson had been a roomer at the house for about a month. He had gotten the room with the help of Miss Mason, who recommended him to the occupants. Freedmen's Hospital physicians who examined the child testified that the little girl had been assaulted.

DELTA SIGMA THETA CONCLUDES EDUCA TIONAL CAMPAIGN
DELTA SIGMA THETA CONCLUDES EDUCA TIONAL CAMPAIGN
The national campaign for higher education, which is held annually during the first week in May by the Grand Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, ended Sunday, May 13, according to an announcement from the executive offices of the sorority.
Although it is impossible to estimate the extent of the campaign until the detailed reports have been filed by all of the forty chapters, the plans perfected at the Eastern, Mid-Western, and Southern regional conferences, which met in April at Boston, Columbus, and Atlanta, respectively, gave promise of a successful campaign.
The reports of the chapter activities for the week which have already been filed in the executive offices of the sorority indicate a varied national program.
The observance at Willemforce, which was held a week earlier by special dispensation, featured an educational conference with senior high school girls from Xenia, Wilberforce, Jamestown, Yellow Springs, Dayton, Springfield, and Wilmington, Ohio.
An educational guidance bureau was maintained by the Boston chapter at the Robert Gould Shaw House, and at the St. Marks Community Center, daily, for the dissemination of information concerning types of high schools and colleges in Boston and vicinity, and their entrance requirements and curricula.
A drive to secure books for the Burrell Normal School, of Florence, Ala., was inaugurated during the week by Beta Sigma, the Washington, D.C., graduate chapter. This school is kept from being placed on the accredited high school list of Alabama because of the inadequacy of its library equipment.
COL. COOPER'S MEDICAL SCHOOL ADDRESS PUT IN CONG. RECORD
J. Will Taylor, representative from Tennessee, has had the address of Col. Wade H. Cooper, president of the Continental Trust Co., at the dedication exercises of the new Howard University Medical School, inserted in the Congressional Record.
In asking that the speech be placed in the Record, Mr. Taylor, said:
"Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert in the Record the speech of Col. Wade H. Cooper, president of the Continental Trust Co., Washington, D.C., delivered Monday, April 9, at the opening of the new medical building at Howard University.
"In addition to assistance given to Lincoln Memorial University at Cumberland Gap, Tenn., and other educational institutions, Col. Cooper was one of the first contributors to the new medical building at Howard.
"His speech delivered on this occasion praised the colored people for the progress they had made since their emancipation and was full of helpful suggestions for maintaining harmony between the races. Colonel Cooper is a southern man, and his speech is therefore so unusual that I think it deserves to be inserted in the Record."
The request was granted.

‘The exciting and thrilling race
of the day was the sprint medley

was not close Hampton's time was
only 4-10 of a second off the old

batters on both teams enjoying a

of hits and the many scores, in-
different fielding was the cause of
numerous errors. Five pitchers
were used by the two teams, but

RICHARD BARTHELMESS IN "THE NOOSE" AT LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK
A young boy, just at college age, stands with a smoking gun in his hands. His victim is a huddled, shapeless heap on the other side of the room.
This is the dramatic punch that opens "The Noose." First National's picturization of Willard Mack's sensational stage play, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 20, 21 and 22.
From this stint, startling opening, the story moves swiftly through a series of dramatic incidents to the finish. "The Noose" is one of the most powerful stories ever written. It deals with life in the raw, with the underworld and its gunmen and gangmen, with justice and with politics, with sympathy and compassion.
Richard Barthelmess in the stellar role again demonstrates his amazing histrionic talents as Nickie Elkins, the boy.
A.
Richard Barthelmess in The Noose
Do you admire a woman who is well able to make her own way in the world, without catering to men in her effort to rise to the topmost ladder of social success?
If you do, you will be interested in seeing Lilyan Tashman in the brilliant Gotham society drama, "The Woman Who Did Not Care," which comes to the Lincoln Theatre Wednesday and Thursday, May 23 and 24.
In addition to the showing of Rin-Tin-Tin, on Saturday only, as an extra added attraction, there will be shown the Universal Chan-

"RED RIDERS OF CANADA" AT THE BROADWAY
Sunday and Monday, May 20 and 21, the screen attraction will be the "Red Riders of Canada" with Patsy Ruth Miller. The story runs vividly through the great northwest, starting with a double murder by a character called "The Buzzard," a noted fur pirate, through an oath of vengeance, Pierre, the son of the murdered man, is himself murdered, but helps the mounted policeman and his sweetheart, who is Pierre's sister, "get his man."
For Tuesday, and that day only, the feature picture will be "The Great Sensation," with William Fairbanks and Pauline Garon. The popular young athlete is on his toes from beginning to end in all his features, and this role of a crock-chasing society hero disguised as a chauffeur should prove exciting. Pauline Garon has the feminine lead in "The Great Sensation."
For Wednesday and Thursday the screen attraction will be "The Legion of the Condemned," with Fay Wray and Gary Cooper, the screen's newest lovers. "The Legion of the Condemned" is the story of a valiant band of youths whose last illusion and first women were dim memories. They had tried everything in life but death, and death they eagerly courted. You'll see one of the greatest dramatic sensations of the year when you see "The Legion of the Condemned." Talent night on Thursday.
For Friday and Saturday the feature picture will be "Freckles," with Hobart. Bosworth. The story deals with the adventures of an orphan boy who has only one arm. With no tradition of family behind him, Freckles sets out to show the stuff from which he is made by accepting the dangerous post of timber guard in the Limberlost Forest, a large and wild section of valuable trees. During the pursuance of his duties, he meets the Swamp Angel, with whom he falls in love. But to tell the manner in which he wins out would be to spoil the story. Saturday country store, coming May 27, 28, 29 and 30. "Thirty Years Later" with an all-star Colored Cast.

On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be shown "Chicago After Midnight," a gripping story of crime and a powerful sermon against it.

The picture tells the story of the crime regime in the Illinois city with such sincerity that its purpose cannot be doubted—that of showing the superb mopale and intrepid bravery of those who uphold the law. A true picture of the follies and foibles of cabaret and club life is painted by the magic lens of Ince's camera. Ince is masterful as the gun chieftan and his performance is rivaled by that of Helen Jerome Eddy as the mother, Jola Mendez as the girl, and Bob Seiter as the young musician.

in announcing a return showing with full Vitaphone accompaniment of the world's idolized jazz singer for one week only, starting Sunday, May 20. To see and to hear Al Jolson sing and talk is a thrill that comes perhaps once in a lifetime.
Supplementing "The Jazz Singer" will be three new Vitaphone acts that have never been shown at the Republic before. Headlining will be Carolyne Snowden, the colored star of syncopation, and her jazz band. Miss Snowden is at the forefront of colored performers and has appeared in many motion pictures, notably "The Legion of the Condemned." Another great act is De Pace, the wizard of the mandolin. The Happiness Boys, radio's favorites, round out this great all-Vitaphone bill to be shown at the Republic all next week.

Surrounding Miss Saunders are Jackie Young, Billie Mitchell, Freddie Robinson, Maud Mills, sister of the late Florence Mills, and Washington's favorite, Eloise Bennett. In addition to those already named, there is also with the revue Pete Peters, Baby Kidd, Ganasea Otiz and an exceptionally large chorus of girls.

DUNBAR FIELD DAY
HELD LAST WEEK
Dunbar High School observed its annual field day, Thursday, May 3, at the Major James E. Walker Stadium. Nearly the entire school
population of boys and girls engaged in the activities planned by the physical education department from 9:30 to 12 m. The girls with their folk dances, team games and group games romped and played with an abandon to natural recreation that contrasted strongly with the more repressed attitudes of the class room.
The boy teams of each of the eight semesters competed in volley ball, playground baseball and relay racing, and nearly all boys attempted to reach the stanardd average performance mark set for boys of the various ages in six age-aim events. They-were the 50- and 100-yard races, the running high and running broad jumps, the basketball throw, and chinning the horizontal bar. This form of competition is becoming very popular with boys and girls of the high schools. It affords an incentive and an opportunity for every boy to strive to equal or surpass the mark set for boys of his age, which mark has been secured from an average of the performances of thousands of boys of the different ages.
The sight of the hundreds of boys and girls competing in games and plays under the direction of their own leaders was stimulating
en- and inspiring as a feature of by Health Week.
J. C. SMITH NOSES OUT LIVINGSTONE IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
SALISBURY, N.C., May 11.—Playing the greatest and most sensational game of baseball ever seen in Collegiate circles in this section, the Smith Bulls nosed out their ancient rival, Livingstone, in the deciding contest for State championship honors, by the close score to 3-2. The game bore every earmark of a real championship contest. Hairbreadth fielding, sensational baseball running and airtight pitching kept the fans yelling like mad until the last man was out in the ninth.
Lymon Yokley, famous pitching ace of the Baltimore Black Sox, made a special trip down from Baltimore to do mound duty for his alma mater. With a recent shut-out victory over the Bacharach Giants to his credit, he faced the Bulls smilingly and confident. For seven innings he sent the Bulls back to their dug-out in one, two, three order. But in the seventh Coach Scales of Smith started stroking his rabbit-foot and the
