THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E. SE CKS ON JOHN WILLIAM BY WIFE W MARRIAGE BLEASE ATTACKS JOHNSON Declares Howard Prexy's Speech Was Inspired by Secretary Hoover ATTACKS H. U. BILL Claims Johnson Would be Chased Out of South Carolina Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, went on another rampage in the Senate last Monday, attacking Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard university and Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, candidate for the Republican nomination for President. The South Carolinian was riled because of an address delivered by Dr. Johnson at the centennial conference of the American Peace Society in Cleveland on May 10. In his address, Dr. Johnson indicted white civilization. He declared that his race faced the alternative of following Soviet Russia if the white man did not deal justly with the Negro. This statement by Dr. Johnson, Senator Blease charged, was induced by the order of Secretary Hoover ending segregation of white and colored employees in the census bureau of the Department of Commerce. He referred to Mr. Hoover as an Englishman, who was forced on the Democratic administration as food administrator during the war by England. Please cited the example of Australia, which deported a troupe of colored vaudeville performers. He claimed that they were returned to the United States because some of the men had danced with white girls in Melbourne. He charged that Secretary Hoover wants to make white girls associate with Negroes on equal terms. He declared that Hoover would b: the easiest man for the Democrats to defeat in the November SOUTHERN AID BEGINS EXPANSION PROGRAM RICHMOND, Va.—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., the race's oldest insurance company, has announced the immediate increase of its capital stock from $100,000 fully paid up to $150,000 fully paid and issued. This is the first step in the company's new program for expansion. It is planning to enter other states. During its thirty-five years of doing business, the Southern Aid has confined its activities to Virginia and the District of Columbia. The company is financially the strongest business institution developed by Negroes in America. The financial statement of December 31, 1927, shows that this company had paid nearly $5,000,000 in claims to its policyholders and had voluntarily set aside a policy reserve of nearly $400,000 to safeguard its policy contracts in force. The company has $400,000 invested in real estate and over $400,000 in cash in banks and trust companies. It has invested nearly $300,000 in real estate mortgages, stocks and bonds. In addition to paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to its policyholders in times of sickness or disability from accident and at death, it employs a small army of Negro women and men who are given opportunities to develop into every phase of business and commercial pursuits. It is seldom that an insurance organization engaged entirely in the industrial sick benefit or health division of the insurance business, develops such a magnitude of business in as limited territory as has been done by this Negro institution. SENATE TO PROBE SALE OF OFFICES The Senate last Saturday ordered an investigation of the alleged sale of Federal offices. The resolution was originally introduced by Senators Walter F. George and William J. Harris, Democrats, of Georgia, called for an investigation in their state only, but the Senate committee on post offices and post roads broadened the scope to make it general. The investigation will include the states of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee. A committee of three Senators will be appointed by Vice President Dawes to make the investigation. --- --- FIRST in Advertising and Circulation (Continued on page 2) Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY JOHN WILLIAMS SUED BY WIFE WHO SEEKS MARRIAGE ANNULMENT HEFLIN IS AGAIN ON HOOVER Attacks Secretary and Smith on Attitude Toward Negroes Interrupting consideration of the tax reduction bill in the Senate last Saturday, Senator Thomas J. Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama, continued his attack upon Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Governor Alfred E. Smith, leading Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates. The Heflin attack on Hoover was based on the recent order of the Secretary of Commerce abolishing segregation of colored and white employees in the census bureau of the Commerce Department. Governor Smith was attacked because of social equality in New York city. Heflin declared that the Metropolitan press decided some time ago to nominate Hoover for the Republicans and Smith for the Democrats. He then asked: "Are you willing for them to put a man upon our party as its leader, to be clothed with the power of the President in the White House, who can undo all that we have done to protect the white women of the South from the lust and carnality of brutal Negroes? "Are you going to permit a man to be nominated for President who, as governor, permits in his State social equality to be practiced every night in dance halls under Tammany rule, and under his own rule, in order to control the Negro vote in the city and State of New York?" Heflin said that when Smith attempts to foist racial equality on the white people in order to get the Negro vote, he will lose the STUDY OF HOSPITALS TO BE MADE Announcement has been made by the American Medical Association that Dr. Algernon B. Jackson of Howard University has been engaged to make a survey of hospital facilities among Negroes. The survey is to be nation-wide and will be made with the idea of getting at the truth regarding the hospital situation. The American Medical Association and the American Colleges of Surgeons under whose supervision the study is being made are the two recognized standardizing organizations of this country. Gradually but surely, more and more states are being added to those which require the medical graduates to have had one year's experience as an interne in a Class A hospital before being permitted to take the examination to practice medicine. Such hospitals among Negroes are so few that only a small proportion of young graduates get an opportunity for this fifth year in medical study. VIRGIN ISLANDS POST MASTER VISITS HERE Hon. K. D. Amphlett Leader, L.L.B., Postmaster at Frederiksted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, U.S.A. is now spending his annual vacation in America, visiting Washington, Philadelphia, Richmond, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Chicago and other large cities.

Williams, high powered salesman, 1816 S street, no. hwest, is in the courts again. His wife, Mrs. Capitola Williams, a stenographer at Freedman's Hospital, petitioned the District Supreme Court Tuesday to annul their marriage. In her petition she charges that John is still the lawful husband of Mrs. Frances E. Williams. She declares that he fraudulently obtained a divorce from his former wife in the district court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, in order to marry her. He represented to her, she says, that he was fully and legally divorced and withheld from her the information that there was pending in the courts a petition to set aside the divorce decree which had been granted him. The petition of Mrs. Frances E. Williams was set to be heard January 27, 1923, in the circuit court of Wyandotte county, Kansas, Mrs. Capitola Williams states. Notwithstanding his knowledge that the decree which he had obtained would be set aside, Mrs. Capitola Williams alleges, Johnny obtained a license from the clerk of the circuit court of Montgomery County, Maryland, January 6, 1923, and they went through a marriage ceremony in Rockville, Md., January 14, 1923. Less than two weeks after the marriage ceremony was performed Mrs. Capitola Williams asserts, (Continued on page 2) HOLD CONSERVATORY EXERCISES.

STUDENTS The students of Howard University were addressed on Friday by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, well known lecturer and civic leader. Mrs. Terrell discussed a traditional topic, "The Value of Thinking Things Through," in a novel and attractive manner, calling into requisition illustrative material from the events of the past and the conditions of the present. Her wit and eloquence brought prolonged applause from the large audience present. Dr. E. P. Davis, acting dean, College of Liberal Arts, presided. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1928 HUSBAND LIVING WITH ANOTHER, SUED Through Attorney Charles E. Robinson, Mrs. Clara Sedricks filed suit in the District Supreme Court last Tuesday for an absolute divorce from Thomas Sedricks. She names Ida Toms as the correspondent. In her bill of complaint she charges that the defendant and the correspondent are living together. He began living with the correspondent, she alleges, after their arrest and conviction on a statutory charge in January, 1927. Mrs. Sedricks also charges cruelty. She says that on several occasions it was necessary for her to have her husband arrested for assaulting her. They were married in October, 1914, Mrs. Sedricks says, and lived together nine years. Raid on Gambling Den is Made by Entering Through Window Police of the Eighth Procinct are holding a massive door weighing almost a ton, more than twenty-six dollars, and the names of forty-four persons whom they intend to use as government witnesses, as evidence for the prosecution of Edward Earl Gray, 34 year old barber, alleged proprietor of the Zenith Social Club at 1220 U street, northwest, for violation of $26 section B, U. S. code. Gray was released under $500 bond, Monday following his arrest at three o'clock Sunday morning. The arrest took place during a raid on the premises. Four patrol trips were required to carry the large number of men said to have been engaged in the dice game then in progress. The Zenith Social Club has been operating less than a month. It is in the building which was recently vacated by the Music Box Club. Police say that with the advent of the Zenith Club, a door, costing approximately $125, four-inch one-half inches thick, lined with metal and weighing nearly a t. was constructed at the top of the stairs leading up from the street. The door had three slide bolts, and was said to have been impenetrable unless opened. By this means, unwelcome visitors could easily be kept out. At the bottom of the stairway is a glass panelled door with electric button latch attachment. Hence unless the entrance of an outsider is desired two doors must be crashed, the second one capable of resisting much force. Officers W. R. Laflin, W. McEwan and R. J. Barrett raided the place. By means of a ladder, they entered a second story front window without the knowledge of the more than two score men in the next room. Policeman Laflin, the first one through the window, dashed to the table and gained possession of the dice and $26.78 in cash. He was followed by Officer Barrett. McEwan waited at the front (Continued on page 2) N.A.A.C.P. ORGANIZED AT HOWARD UNIV.

LITERARY DEBATING SOCIE TY RESUMES MEETINGS The Literary Debating Society has resumed its meeting which has been dispensed with for over a period of six weeks. Through the work of Mrs. Johnson, Miss G. Davis and Rev. S. N. Davis of Galilee Baptist Church, the members have regained their interest. The debate for the next meeting night is "Resolved, That Frederick Douglass was a greater man than Booker T. Washington." HOWARD INDORSES FISH FOR VICE-PRES. National Committeeman, Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, came out this week in favor of the nomination of Representative Hamilton W. Fish of New York for the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination. Major Fish served with distinction as an officer overseas with the fighting 369th Infantry composed of colored volunteers from the north. He introduced the Battle Monument bill to commemorate the heroic services of the colored soldiers in France. He took a prominent part in urging the adoption of the Federal Anti-Lynching bill. His grandfather, as Secretary of State, proclaimed the 15th amendment. Mr. Fish is very popular among colored voters says Mr. Howard. JACKSON DENIED PARDON Commutation to "Life" is Denied, Will Die in Chair, May 29 President Coolidge has refused to intervene and save Philip Jackson from the electric chair. Attorney General John G. Sargent advised acting United States Attorney Leo A. Rover Monday that the President had denied Jackson's petition for executive clemency. The condemned man had asked that his death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. The petition for executive clemency was the final move of Attorney John H. Wilson to save his client from electrocution. Jackson is scheduled to die May 29. He will be the first victim of the new electric chair in the District jail. The last man to pay the death penalty here was Herbert Copeland. He was hanged for the murder of a Maryland constable. Since then the method of capital punishment in the District of Columbia has been changed to electrocution. Jackson was convicted on a charge of criminally assaulting a white woman in the Capitol Grounds on the night of February 1$^{9}$ 1927. After his conviction, Attorney Wilson sought a lunacy hearing for him. Justice Hoehleng denied it. The case was then carried to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of Justice Hoehleng denying Jackson a lunacy hearing. Attorney Wilson then asked the President to commute the death sentence to imprisonment. There are four other men awaiting electrocution. Three of them are white and one is colored. The white boys are Nicholas Lee Eagles, Samuel Moreno and John Proctor. They were convicted of the murder of policeman Leo W. K. Busch. The colored man is Malcomb Howard. He was convicted of the murder of his sweetheart, Jesse Nelson. He is sentenced to die June 4. The convictions of the four murderers have also been upheld by the Court of Appeals. MASONIC LODGE IS PRESENTED $1,000 The building fund of Columbia Lodge. No. 85. Elks, was enriched by $1,000, at its meeting on Monday evening, May 21, when a committee from Columbia Temple No. 422, Daughters of Elks, presented a check for that amount to the lodge. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs made the speech of presentation, while the check was handed to Exalted Ruler Herbert Jones by Mrs. Lena J. Hart, Daughter Ruler of Columbia Temple. Dr. Richardson to Speak An address by Dr. George H. Richardson, senior member of the Citizens' Advisory Council of the District of Columbia, will be the principal item on the evening program of men's day services at People's Congregational Church, next Sunday evening.

However, before the closing hour the laymen under the leadership of Prof. John R. Hawkins, Washington, D.C., Atty. W. H. C. Brown of Newport News, Va., John M. Avery of Durham, N.C., and Ira T. Bryant of Nashville, Tenn., won their fight for equal lay representation in future general conferences. Another resolution was passed raising the salary of bishops. This measure was recommended by Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary, in his report. Ira T. Bryant of Nashville, Tenn., secretary-treasurer of the Sunday School Department, stormy petrel of the church for many years, was successful in getting reelected. Many of the reforms Mr. Bryant has fought for were realized this year. Prof. John R. Hawkins was reelected financial secretary under a suspension of the rules by a unanimous vote. In the election of new bishops, the southern delegates put over all four of the winners. Rev. Robert A.K.A. GUIDANCE PROGRAM IS HELD Xi Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority initiated its vocational guidance week with a program at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., Sunday, May 20, at 5:30 p.m. The honor guests of the sorority were the June graduating girls of the Dunbar High and Armstrong Technical High Schools and their mothers. The participants, all of whom were Alpha Kappa Alpha women, discussed various phases of vocational guidance and gave detailed information regarding entrance into specialized fields of remuneration. Soror Irma Craig introduced the topic by treating of "The Significance of Vocational Guidance." The qualifications, aptitudes, and training requisite to entering different gainful occupations were brought out by the ensuing speakers, who represented their respective chosen professions. The following vocations were presented: Public school music, Soror Madeline Coleman; dental hygiene, Soror Daisy Frazier; medicine, Soror Dorothy Boulding; dietics, Soror Frances McShan; social work, Soror Lillian Proctor; teaching, Soror Sadie Daniel; business practice, Soror Leanna Johnson. Piano solos were rendered by Sorors Ruth Weatherless and Naomi Haymon. Soror Leanna Johnson gave a violin selection. Soror Nellie Merriweather presided. While refreshments were being served, the Alpha Kappa Alpha members talked informally to small groups who were especially interested in special vocations. EMPLOYMENT GETTING BETTER. SAYS LEAGUE NEW YORK CITY—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League of which T. Arnold Hill is director, summarizes employment for April as follows: While unemployment continues to exist, evidences of activity in various parts of the country indicate that conditions are growing better. Public projects which were advocated by the press and social agencies to give employment in the building of roads, repair of streets at deconstruction of public buildings have had little to do with this improvement. The chief factor appeared to be construction of privately owned buildings, work in the farming districts which always comes with spring, building and repair programs of railroads and of course the approach of the automobile industry to its normal level of production. Kansas City, Fort Wayne, Detroit, Philadelphia, Winston - Salem, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are the principal cities that have provided information to substantiate this. Laymen STREET, N.W. NCE CLOSES: THEIR FIGHT: RE-ASSIGNED STUDENT POLITICS PLAYED Strategic Moves Fail in Howard University Elections Two shrewd political moves, each of which failed in its particular mission, featured the elections, Tuesday, of students to the presidency of the Howard University Student council, and to the editorship and associate editorship of the Howard University "Hilltop." The elections were held in Rankin Memorial Chapel. Glenwood E. Jones was elected president of the council, Baxter Don Goodall was reelected to the position of Editor-in-Chief of the "Hilltop" and Ivan E. Taylor was made Associate-editor of the paper. The first strategic move failed when Jones, a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was the students' choice for the Student Council presidency in spite of a consolidation of the Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi fraternities to defeat him. The latter two fraternities combined on a ticket which named Robert Dandridge, an Omega man, as candidate for the presidency and Baxter D. Goodall, an Alpha man, for the "Hilltop" editorship. Milton C. Calloway, also of the Omega fraternity, was named on the ticket as candidate for associate editor. With the solid Omega and Alpha vote, it was hoped that the ticket would be elected. The desire was to do away with the monopoly which the Kappa fraternity has for several years enjoyed on the Student Council presidency. Jones' backers, however, through the efforts of two stunningly pretty debutantes, Susie Tate and Gladys Jamieson, put their man over. Jones was elected by more than a 200 majority. The other move was from an independent source and tended to split the Alpha-Omega ticket as well as to eliminate Goodall, who was assured election to the "Hilltop" editorship, from candidacy to that office. Charles H. Manney, himself a NORMAL STUDENTS PLAN CELEBRATION Student night will be observed at the Miner Normal School on May 29. A dinner will be served banquet style, after which an entertainment will take place. The celebration is the formal opening of the lunch room which has so splendidly progressed within a few months. Parents and friends are invited to attend the affair. Stunts, skits, songs and yells will be the features of the rival senior and junior classes. J. F. Gregory, instructor in oral English, will sponsor the rendition of speeches, the Glee Club, sponsored by Miss Marie James, will have charge of the singing. Many well known community songs will be on the program. The dramatic clubs, both junior and senior, sponsored by Miss M. C. Thomas and Mr. Gregory will present several skits. Cheers will be led by representatives from each class. The students of Miner Normal are managing the whole affair with the teachers in the background to give advice. H. U. BOARDING DEPT. HAS "AT HOME" On Saturday; May 19, the boarding department of Howard University gave an "at home" to its many patrons and friends. In addition to a splendid buffet luncheon of Salmon, Pineapple and Egg Salads, assorted cakes and punch, the guests were invited to inspect the boarding department behind the scenes. Aside from being an innovation, it was the intention of the management of the department that the "at home" would assume an educational aspect, as numbers of the patrons and friends who daily take their meals with the department never get the opportunity of inspecting at first hand the processes involved in the preparation and service of a meal.

It was founded in 1921 by Clifton Nelson. TEN Liberal Progressive Independent BASEBALL CATCHERS might try dresses; the observation is forced on us by witnessing an alley game of ten-year-olds, including a lame white boy and a colored girl, near First and K, northwest. By means of glove, bare hand and dress, the agile, brown miss proved an asset to the team. THE POWER OF EARLY FRIENDSHIPS is again shown by the campaign gift of $70,000 to aid Al Smith. There is something virile in a man who can hold his boyhood friends and continue to make new ones by the thousands through the years. WITH A NEGRO IN CONGRESS and an east side boy in the presidency some people would be forced to imitate the expatriates and seek a domicile overseas. They would do well to hurry, because all the world is becoming democratic; soon there will be no place where an aristocrat may loaf in peace and privilege. CONGRESSIONAL REAPPOR-TIONMENT Despite the mandate of the Constitution calling upon Congress to reapportion its membership within two years after each decennial census, the membership remains unchanged. Hiding behind the absence of any punishment or penalty for disobedience to the mandate, the representatives of the states which would lose representatives, or would merely keep their present number, have exercised enough power to prevent those who would gain in the number of representatives from enacting into law any of the several proposed bases of the new apportionment. Just how Congress expects respect for law which it circumvents when it threatens its own power, we are at a loss to understand. Since the number of representatives is not in keeping with the population of states which have grown and shrunken, both the laws passed and the distribution of electoral votes in the presidential election, are falsely based. It would not be impossible for the Supreme Court—if awake to the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution, rather than busy with specious reasoning in support of vested interests and anti-Negro interpretation of the laws—to declare unconstitutional every law passed by the Congresses which did not reapportion themselves as commanded. It is not forgotten that the late Senator La Follette made a fine showing in his race for President upon a platform of reform of the power of the Supreme Court. The time was too short and the means too meager to establish and spread the idea, but the seed has been sown and every perversion of fundamental principles of the government of, for, and by the people brings us closer to a drastic change in present control. Once the people become convinced that SELF INTEREST alone actuates those entrusted with power, then those people will demand and secure proportional representation. As things operate, labor, farm industry, manufacturing, banking, foreign traders, transportation, clerical groups, military and naval, religious, etc., etc., have their special interests which they try to force upon the attention of legislators and the judiciary with great waste of time, energies and money. Once they realize how they are severally juggled for the sake of other powerful interests more distinctly selfish, they will organize and secure direct representation. Racial solidarity defeats the ends we aim at politically and economically, but the alignment with the group interest will secure the kind of consideration which benefits that group. Should we change our group, we could change our alignment without losing caste as we now do when we change our party allegiance even though the party no longer expresses our hopes or meets our needs. It is time to consider a new democracy.

P. and proved ARLY own by to aid nothing mit upon a white woman of South Carolina, is released upon the death-bed confession of perjury by the woman herself, brings to mind the operation of pathological lying. Bess escaped death at the hands of a mob and later at the hands of the court because of weakness in the evidence, but he drew a sentence of thirty years and actually spent thirteen of them in the penitentiary because of the conduct of the principal witness, the prejudice of the court and a conspiracy. Modern science offers enough data to warrant an investigation whenever a woman makes a charge against a man. The hang over of a chivalry which presumes the woman to be right always and the presumption that she would not bring such shame upon herself and her family, unless it were true, will not hold. There is such a condition as pathological lying; people lie to bring themselves notoriety; to get revenge for a fancied wrong; because they are themselves suffering from a dream or illusion; as the result of a suppressed wish that is unfulfilled, and because they are afraid of some threatened consequences from telling the truth. Those who deal with the mental reactions of females recognize the operation of what is known as "defense reaction." They exhibit the kind of reaction which they feel will defend them against some fancied or possible end. Both as mothers and merely as women, they often lie to protect some one else whom they hold in esteem. Locally and nationally, we have noted many cases of alleged assault by colored men which later were proved not to have occurred, or to have been committed by men who were not colored. In some cases the alleged defendant has been killed, in others he has been badly beaten, and in others he has been released from prison after having been marred and scarred by his false punishment, as was Ben Bess. Knowing that such cases as that of Ben Bess do occur, and that there is such a condition as "pathological lying," it behooves us to keep an open mind, and to give publicity to every case where the alleged offense is disproven. The very false modesty respecting sex in this country, the jealous fear which the white male both shows and hides, and the feeling of fear that colored men may do to white women what they themselves do or desire to do to colored women, induces a willingness to believe any charge made against a colored man by a white woman. Add to natural male jealousy, the destructive passions of color prejudice and the fancied security which comes from controlling the press and the courts, and we get a condition that makes anti-lynch law imperative if we would preserve justice and prevent irreparable damage and disorder. We call the attention of our local daily papers to the existence of "pathological lying" and to the facts in the case of Ben Bess. SAVE THE GIRLS The women in New York City who have organized themselves to provide ways and means to save their girls, have started a movement which should become nationwide among us. Their slogan is, "Save the girls, and you save the race," and it is a true and appealing idea which it will pay our group to adopt. Now that we have had time to recover from the wide swing of freedom for women following the war hysteria, we must note that our girls are flinging themselves away "because they know not what they do." All too many of our fine girls with splendid possibilities of useful and glorious womanhood and motherhood are holding themselves too cheap. Young girls who know nothing of the balances and checks of life, think it fine and smart to form attachments which are bound to end in disaster and suffering both for themselves and for others. Sunday afternoon, two misses of immature years were discussing the fact that an affair with a married man was "nothing," because they knew a married young woman with two children who had plenty of men admirers and visitors when her husband was absent.

Somebody or some influence must call the girls to heed the value of PERSONALITY, of making something of themselves beside clothes hangers and beauty parlor patrons. No one is so well fitted to do that work as sympathetic women, not too old and with minds open to the necessity for adjustment between the control of the past and the freedom of the present. Our girls should know that white women are competing with each other for the attention of white men who are unwilling to marry for economic reasons. Our girls should know that many of our young men have careers ahead of them and do not intend to marry before certain goals are attained. Our girls should be made to realize that they cheapen themselves by offering their attractions in a market where there are many takers but few buyers. Let us save the girls and thus save the race. ter. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon. Rev. King officiated.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor DOUBLE LETTER Dear Editor: Here is my s each word containing double le Name ..... Address ..... School .... Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words each word containing double letters, written with pencil. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. It's not the greatness of your birth That insures your destination, It's not what others want you be; It's your own determination. It's not the theories learned in school That complete an education; It's not knowledge stored away; It is simply application. It's not what others think you are That reflect character and nobility; It's what you know yourself to be, And true to self is honesty. It's not the big things that you do That bring joy and success; It's the way in which the act is done And knowing, it is your best. Then what is it that you must seek To give tranquility from above? It is, my friend, just three little words. EARN TICKETS WHILE YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN Do not Use More than Two Proper Names in Your Sentence 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 tickets 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 29. Winner will be announced Friday, June 1. You may send in as many sentences as you wish, providing that one coupon (as below) cut out of the Tribune, accompanies them. Cut out the blank here and show it to your friends. Suggest to them that if they write a good double letter sentence, that they may win tickets to Dunbar Theater. 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 earn what he or she gets. Dear Editor: I have a pet cat. His name is Tabby. He is big and he has a big bushy tail. He likes to play but he will not catch mice. He lies on a chair and just sleeps, sleeps, sleeps. He is lazy, but he is a good old pet, for all that. Keep your pledge, do not use the word "nigger." Don't Say Nigger IT By Frances M.

DRAWINGS WANTED FOR KIDDIES' CORNER The picture on this page last week under the caption: "A Bad Boy's Imagination," was drawn by John A. Gillette, 16 years old, of 1840 Eighth street, northwest. We would like to have more drawings submitted for the page. Quite a few drawings are received by your editor, but they are found to be not suitable for publication. At times Tribunales visit the office and submit drawings. The editor gives them instructions as to the kind of ink to use, the size that the drawings should be, the kind of paper to use, and the kinds of picture-subjects best suited for the Kiddies' Corner. Later drawings are sent in by the little artists, but frequently there is something that is defective in the drawing, generally it is that the drawing is too weak. The lines are too thin or the picture is drawn with pencil. Your editor suggests that you come to see him and have a chat. Bring some of your drawings with you. The Corner is anxious to have drawings in EVELYN WINS BOOK The best double-letter sentence in the Double Letter Sentence Contest of last week was sent in by Evelyn B. Varden, fourteen years old, of 1329 First street, northwest. Evelyn is in grade 1B at Dunbarn High School. Her sentence reads: "Three cunning little kiddies rolled three pretty little doll carriages." Evelyn is to come to the office to receive her book. Ask for Mr. Frazier. Among the many sentences sent in by the Tribunites there were five which were so good, that the writers of them are placed on the Roll of Honor. A LETTER FROM MARIE Dear Editor: Please excuse me for not sending in more to the Kiddies' Corner but I have been so very busy. I promise I will start being more active. Please ask the Girl Reserve kiddies to write to me, and also ask all of the girls and boys who like to read good books to write too, and I will send them lists of some very interesting books.

BISCUITS AND MUFFINS Now that vacation time is near, you will naturally turn to things that will help mother a bit. Both, girls and boys, should know how to cook. I would like to hear from any boys who try these receipts. Most people like biscuits and muffins. Try these two receipts. Baking Powder Biscuits Two cups flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 cup milk or water; 4 teaspoons baking powder and 4 tablespoons lard. Sift together the dry ingredients. Work in lard. Stir in liquid gradually. Roll out on floured board to about one inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place close together on a greased pan and bake in a hot oven (400 to 450 degrees F.) until browned on top. Cornmeal Muffins One cup flour; ¾ cup cornmeal; ½ teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 tablespoon sugar; ¾ cup milk; 1 tablespoon melted lard, and 1 egg. Combine dry ingredients. Stir in beaten egg, milk and melted lard. Drop into well-greased muffin tins. Bake in a hot oven (370 to 400 degrees F.) until brown. Let a breakfast be one where your biscuits or muffins will be enjoyed. Mother is willing to let you try. Do your children read the Kiddies' Corner of this paper? G.P.O.

He repeated the assertion of Senator Blease that a promise had been made by Governor Smith's friends that if he were elected President he would put a Negro in his Cabinet. Heflin claimed that the dancing of white men with colored women and colored men with white women incites colored men to attack white women. He again assailed Tammany Democrats in the House for supporting the Dyer antilynching bill, which he called with its provision to pay to the family of a lynched man the sum of $10,000, a premium on rage. Heflin also charged the Roman Catholic Church with seeking to buy the Democratic nomination for Governor Smith. BLEASE ATTACKS JOHNSON (Continued from page 1) election.

Simpson, 2207 Eighth street, northwest, last Tuesday was named as defendant in a criminal libel suit brought against him through the offices of Assistant United States Attorney Ralph Given, by William A. Baltimore, a school teacher, living at 206 Elm street, northwest. The suit grew out of a letter addressed to the Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou, dated April 30, 1928, and written over the signature of Mr. Simpson, to which Mr. Baltimore took serious objections. A copy of the letter in Mr. Givens' hands charges that Mr. Baltimore "has made a practice of taking persons from hospitals regardless of the disease from which they are suffering or their condition to his home where they die." "Mr. Baltimore," the letter further states, "later turns up with a will making him the chief beneficiary." When interviewed, Mr. Baltimore declared that only two persons, his wife's aunt and Mrs. Mary A. Parker, have ever died at his home. The death of the latter, Mr. Baltimore believes, is the case to which the letter refers. In this case Mrs. Bessie Simpson, wife of William Simpson, I contested the will of Mrs. Parker, and proved to the satisfaction of the court that she was a niece of the deceased. She was therefore made beneficiary. The letter, Mr. Baltimore believes, is an aftermath. Mr. Baltimore has been a teacher of printing at the Shaw Junior High School for the past 10 years. Prior to his appointment in the school system, Mr. Baltimore was employed in the War Department, of the U. S. Government. A letter dated May 22 from Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools to Mr. Baltimore has advised the latter that the Board of Education has voted to ignore the charges in the letter. Mrs. Simpson is a waiter. He was arrested early last Saturday morning. Preliminary hearing is set for next Tuesday. A good birthday present is a year's subscription to the Washington Tribune.

JOHN WILLIAMS SUED BY WIFE WHO SEEKS MARRIAGE ANNULMENT (Continued from page 1) the court of Wyandotte county, Kansas, set aside the divorce decree granted John on September 7, 1922, making him the lawful husband of Mrs. Frances E. Williams. John well knew he had no right to marry her, Mrs. Capitola Williams declares. He withheld from her the facts concerning the setting aside of the divorce decree granted him and permitted her to live with him, she alleges, in ignorance of the fraud which he perpetrated upon her until she discovered among his papers and effects the decree setting aside his divorce. When she asked him about the divorce decree, he vehemently denied that it had been set aside and told her that the stories she had heard were lies by his enemies for the purpose of injuring his character and reputation, Mrs. Capitola Williams says. While she was living with John, there was born to her a boy whom she named John R. Williams, Jr. He is 4 years old. He is in her care and custody. She has not lived with John since December, 1926, but he is attempting to interfere with her duties, is harassing her and attempting to embarrass her into living with him again, she alleges. He is also interfering with her in the care of their child, she claims. Through Attorney Martin J. McNamara, she asks the court to inquire into the validity of their marriage and declare it void. She also asks that a restraining order be issued enjoining John from interfering with her or their child. John R. Williams has had ackered career in the District of Columbia. He was just released about six months ago from the District workhouse at Ocoquan, Va., where he served a sentence of one year less time off for good behavior. He was convicted on a charge of larceny after trust. He was employed by L. P. Steuart and Brother, coal merchants, as a salesman. Recently he was employed as a dining car waiter. He was also connected with a bus company operating between Tampa and Miami. Florida. He delivered lec- AWARDING OF PRIZES TO THE WINNERS IN THE ESSAY CONTEST A. B. ZION BISHOPS IMPRESSIVELY CONSECRATED Bv R. C. Fisher ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 26-On Sunday afternoon, before a large congregation assembled at Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church, Bishops-elect W. W. Matthews and F.H. Jacobs were consecrated and set apart as bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, as a closing event of the 28th quadrennial conference that has been in session for three weeks at the New Coliseum. The consecration was preached by Bishop J. W. Woods. He admonished the two new additions to the bishopric to strive to be wholesome and Godly examples. The impressive ritualistic ceremony set forth many oaths and obligations which the bishops-elect solemnly promised to obey. Prior to his elevation to the bishopric, Rev. Jacobs had served his denationation as general secretary. He received his eduction at Howard University, Wesley University and from Long Island Hospital Medical School. Bishop Jacobs is a native of Camden, S. C. For 27 years he has been engaged in the practice of medicine in Brooklyn, New York. He was elected bishop by acclamation. He has realized the fruition of his fondest hopes and will proudly wear the gorgeous gown purchased years ago when he felt his election was assured but proved to be otherwise. Raised $100,000 Dr. Matthews is a native of Mississippi and was educated at Branch Normal College, Pine Bluff, Ark., and New Orleans University, New Orleans, La. He came into the general official family of the denomination when elected Foreign Missions Secretary in May 1920 at the session of the General Conference which met at Knoxville, Tenn. Previous to that time Dr. Matthews spent a term of fourteen years as pastor and presiding elder on the Pacific Coast. As Foreign Missions Secretary his work has broken all previous records in that field. The reports show that during the four years just past nearly one hundred thousand dollars were raised for that department. He was also editor of the "Missionary Seer," which under his editorship caused much favorable comment, both as to content and especially as to appearance. Mrs. Ellen Pope, of Detroit, Mich., was in the city visiting friends last week. MEMORIAL CEMETERY PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE EXTENDS Exercises for the and UNVEILING May 30th, at 2:00 p.m. UNV ABE PRO REV.

Buck, of Chicago, national campaign manager of former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, denied the expenditure of any money in southern states when he testified before the special Senate committee investigating campaign funds Tuesday. Senator Frederick Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon, chairman of the committee asked him whether any effort had been made to get delegates in southern states, particularly Georgia and Mississippi, where "the Republican party" is largely in the hands of Negro people." "No", replied Mr. Buck. He said that no money had been spent to that end and that no workers had been sent into those states, although he had made one general tour through that section some months ago. He said that he had had no negotiations, direct or indirect, with Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi. He said that he had written to Mr. Howard some months ago and had received a friendly reply. He also stated that he had made no effort to get Georgia's delegates, but had written to B. J. Davis, national committeeman for that state, asking for his support. “Are you counting on delegate support from those states?” he was asked. “I’m praying for them”, he replied. DOG ONCE SENTENCED TO DEATH, BITES AGAIN the suspended sentence of death, imposed by Chief Justice Isaac R. Hitt on Bocus, a German police dog, last month will probably fall on the canine following his attack Monday on Frank Napper, 40 years old, of 707 Second street, southwest. Mr. Napper said Wednesday, that he intends to bring court action against the dog and his owner, Carl Humphries, white, of 216 E street, southeast. Mr. Napper told police of the Fifth Precinct that he was passing the Humphries' home, Monday evening, when the dog ran from the yard, jumped upon him and bit him on the hand. He declared that the dog then jumped on a child, standing nearby, but that he pulled the animal off before he could harm the child.

Nichols "To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom"—1 Cor. 12:8. The word of wisdom is equivalent to "The wise word"—the word spoken at the right time. Paul says that the power to do this can only come through the Spirit of Christ, in other words, through the sacrifice of one's thought of self. How true this is! How many of the most splendid advices have failed in their effect just because before giving them, we forget to bury ourselves. Perhaps we were angry; indignant, supercilious, or, secretly gratified with the glory of being a mentor. And so, we failed to be a mentor—failed for want of the Spirit. Our words were not wise, because they were spoken at the wrong time because we did not. put ourselves in the place of our brother. We were thinking of ourselves—not of him; therefore we lost the blessedness of the man who "bringeth forth his fruit in its season." We brought out our fruit of correction in winter when our brother was cold; it added to his bitterness and he rejected it with scorn. The Spirit would have taught us to create the springtime first around him, and to speak our words of wisdom when the singing of birds had come. The Spirit of Christ will help us to speak to our brother the words of wise counsel. o'clock p.m., conducted by James E. Walker Post, No. 26, assisted by James Reese Europe Post, No. 5, American Legion, United Spanish War Veterans, Department of the Potomac, and Boy Scouts.

Prof. George Guaranteed to Call Your Name If you are in trouble, sick or unlucky and want to know whether your wife, sweetheart or friend is true or false, don't fail to consult Prof. W. A. George, the "World's Greatest" almist and Crystal Gazer." Can bring together and separate the ones you desire. Will tell you just what you want to know and call your name without a single question. I also call the names of your enemies. I was born with this wonderful gift that I might tell you the past, present and future. Since then I have read for famous people, such as congressmen, mayors in different states, lawyers and doctors and many professional men. If out of town, write. V You can now give to your hair a new, distinctive beauty! Simply go to your dealer, ask for Pluko Hair Dressing and use it according to directions. The improvement which just one application makes will delight you; and its continued use will soon make your hair soft, lustrous and appealing—easy to arrange in the style that best becomes you. Our words will never be wise until they are tender, and they will never be tender until they are prompted by the Spirit. The Spirit's gift of counsel will teach us that if a man be overtaken in a fault, we must restore him in the spirit of meekness, considering our own temptations. The Spirit will enable us before we speak to clothe ourselves in his circumstances. It will give us the strength to empty ourselves into his life, and to say to ourselves "Would we have done much better if we had been born under the condition and reared in the same atmosphere—with the same training?" Instead of marvelling that he is so bad, we should try to see how much worse he might have been. The Spirit will lead us to begin by bearing his burden before we ask him to hear our counsel. Then shall our counsel be tender because it shall be timely. It shall be as the "voice of the Lord God walking in the midst of the garden, in the cool of the evening", of old—to Adam and Eve, the first victims of their own sin. The Spirit's gift of counsel shall keep back the reproof until the ravages of the past be healed; it shall say, "Thy sins be forgiven thee", "Go, sin no more". Our words of counsel shall be wise when, dictated by the Spirit of Christ through the all-atoming blood by the love of God as manifested in the birth, works, suffering, death, and resurrection and triumph of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Bishop Matthews has been showered with congratulations from his many friends since reaching home. In an interview this week, Bishop Matthews stated that he will continue his residence here until he leaves for his new work in Africa, which will be some time in the early fall. The African delegates to the General Conference were elated with the assignment of Bishop Matthews to their field. He is better acquainted with the foreign work than any man in the Zion church. Bishop Matthews stated that he will make a tour of the connection in the interest of the African work. He will be assisted by two native African workers and Rev. Pope who has spent many years in the foreign field. One of the first projects he will tackle, said Bishop Matthews, will be the building of Annie Blackwell Memorial School at Mt. Coffee, Liberia. Already 250 barrels of cement have been shipped and nearly 20 thousand feet of native lumber has been purchased. Six thousand is now available to start the work and it will require about $4000 more to complete the building. Bishop Matthews plans to have ten active workers in the African field.

FRANCIS POOL IN NEED OF MONEY FOR COMPLETION The Senate Appropriations Committee, Wednesday, adopted an amendment requesting the addition of $20,000 to the $349,000 appropriation approved in the House of Representatives last January. The appropriation is for the completion of two bathing pools, one for white at the McKinley High School, the other near the Francis Junior High School for colored. Work on the colored pool, located at Twenty-fifth and N streets, northwest, is practically over. The additional money has been requested so that work on the bath houses might be finished. The construction of the tank is complete and official opening of the place to the public simply awaits the finishing up of the bath house erection. HOWARD U. SUMMER SCHOOL TO OPEN The Sixth Summer Session at Howard University will begin with Registration Day, June 18, and continue for a period of eight weeks. Following the prevalent procedure of many institutions of learning, Howard is endeavoring to meet what is now generally regarded as a distinct need of a large group of teachers, social workers and regular college students by extending to them all the facilities of the institution during the summer as well as to other times of the year. To this end, the entire plant of the Collegiate Division of the Institution will be thrown open to those who will find it possible to avail themselves of these advantages only during the summer time. The library, laboratories, dormitories and all other accessories will be at the disposal of the students of the Summer Session. The courses, which number 93, cover a wide range of subjects in the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Education, Applied Science, Music and the Department of Physical Education. For the most part the instructional staff, numbering 33, is selected from the regular faculty of the University.

Milholland was unveiled in the Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University last Sunday afternoon. The program included remarks by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, university president; Dean Lucy D. Slowe, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who presided. A poem, "John Milholland," was read by Mrs. Jean Robert Foster, of New York City. The bust was unveiled by Miss Robbie Turner, president of the Women's Student League. Miss Turner also presented Mrs. Milholland, who came here with a party of friends from New York to attend the exercises, with a bouquet of red roses on behalf of the women of Howard University. Dr. Scott paid tribute to Mr. Milholland for his spirit of fairness and justice in supporting the cause of oppressed peoples. Dr. Johnson expressed the appreciation of Howard University for the bust. He spoke of Mr. Milholland's far-sighted and unselfish labors always in the interest of "disadvantaged groups." Dean Lucy Slowe spoke of the moral courage of the late Miss Inez Milholland, his daughter. The Howard University glee club rendered several selections. Invocation and benediction were pronounced by Dean D. Butler Pratt, of the school of religion. The bust committee consisted of Dr. Scott, Mrs. Jennie R. McGuire, Mrs. Amanda Gray-Hilyer, Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Neval H. Thomas, Judge James A. Cobbb, and S. A. Douglas.

Twenty-two volumes are in the collection. With the addition of these books to the school library, this brings the total volumes donated by Attorney Martin to over seventy-five. The William H. Davis Pharmacy, Eleventh and U streets northwest, in an advertising campaign launched Tuesday, boasts of having filled on an average of 15,000 prescriptions yearly for more than 25 years. Such an average sets a pace of 41 and 2-3 prescriptions per day for more than 9,000 days. This is believed to be a record in so far as drug stores owned and operated by Negroes exclusively is concerned. Get the Tribune classified adver- lising habit. It's a habit that pays. WHITE FRIENDS STAY AT COLORED GIRLS? "Y" WHITE FRIENDS STAY AT COLORED GIRLS?

The Misses Fowler are of Lynn, Mass. They are students at a Boston school, where they met their young friends. Last week when the two colored girls decided to visit a cousin here, Miss Helen Archung, 1327 O street, northwest, their white friends asked permission to accompany them. When the seven them arrived in the city, the white girls, knowing that if they applied for accommodations a white hotel their colored fruit would be barred, went with Misses Fowler to the Y. W.

The discussion centered around a report of rural conditions in two typical black belt counties, as revealed in an intensive study recently made for the committee by Arthur Raper, its executive secretary. The committee instructed that this study should be carried further and the results given to the public at its completion. "SO GOOD" HAIR GROWER USTLING AGENTS 75 FAIR STREET, Altanta, Ga.

What say? Who?—the Glue Factory? Oh! wrong number. Central, I asked for Potomac 1082. Yes—thanks. Hello, is Willie there? Yes. Willeyum. May I speak to him? Hello, Willie, this am Sam. Say, old man, I looked for you Sunday, where were you? I knew you weren't playing ball, 'cause the sun wasn't out long enough. That is it, wasn't out long enough for the Le Droits to play their three hours and then some. You know those old men like Burrell Kenner, Bunny Jefferson and Buckeye Wiggins are surely some pokes. Honest, it takes a team with them longer to play an ordinary game of baseball than it did Rip Van Winkle to wake up. But I didn't call you for that. I knew you were anxious to hear about the tournament and how Tom Payne and I came out. Well, we both did just that—came out. While it wasn't fully our intention, we did nevertheless. Tom was eliminated because he failed to be present when his match was called. In that way his opponent gained a win by default. Tom left to go umpire a baseball game which wasn't. You know he works with Danny Despert in the Washington Black Sox games at Union League Park. At that I wish I'd gone, too. My game was all wet. I wasn't satisfied with the bath given me by Jupiter Pluvius; I had to stay and be washed out by Jack Shippen. Jack, you know, is the son of the eminent John Shippen, the country's first Negro professional golfer. And in comparison to me, I'll Jack is surely a "chip off the ole block." Why, Willie, while I was taking fives, sixes, sevens, etc., to "get down," Jackie was home in threes and fours. Huh? Whatcha say? Oh! Yes, I did win two holes. Is that all? Why, man alive, that was enough-for me. Now, Willie, in case you're a head like Harry, whom I called last Friday, I'm going to go over what I've said to you. Well, to begin with, when I said "I was taking fives, sixes, etc., to get down," I meant I was taking that many strokes to advance the ball from the tee to the green and then in the hole. Jack, on the other hand, I said was "home in threes and fours," which simply means he needed only 3 or 4 strokes to reach the cup. "Getting down" and reaching "home" are simply golf phrases denoting that a player's ball has at last been knocked into the cup. Now, Willie, I don't know whether you need this lecture as much as our poor friend Harry or not, but anyway, I don't mind helping a friend in need. The "tee" is where one takes his first stroke, the drive—called such because the ball is raised from the level of the ground so that a squarer smack can be rendered the pill. This process of raising the ball is called "teeing up." Well now, Jack besides teeing his ball up was somewhat "teed up" himself. Huh? What's that? Where'd he get it? Well, Willie, I tell you, I couldn't say. I left after my first nine holes to go home and bale the water out of my shoes, and when I returned the Jack came from among the trees—in high spirits. Did it affect his game any? Well now I should say it did. When we left the first green, he was nursing a nice ll's three. I felt that he would crack on the next, hole, but when he came through with another 3, I kinda sorta clouded up. However, when he drove to the third hole and his ball went down the hill. I was sure his game had gone. I felt that I knew it was all over until, lo and behold, he came up onto the green and holed out for his third straight "trey." My boy—I was through. After that I knew that it was all over but the handshake, which took place on the sixth green. Well, ole man, I guess I'll have to quit, the window's up and the rain's coming in.

ORIENTALS MEET WASH. BLACK SOX MAY 30 The champion Oriental Tigers, will meet Simon Shefield's Black Sox in a double-header Wednesday, May 30, at Union League Park. The first game starting at 2 p.m. These two teams are old rivals, and a large following is expected to be on hand, representing both. As will be remembered, the Orientalists won the city championship from the Black Sox in 1927. Both teams are pointing to these games, and can be expected to give their best.

PIRATES EVEN SCORE WITH MONARCHS BROOKLAND, D. C.,—In spite of inclement weather conditions, the game between the Washington Pirates and Monarch A. C. was played here last Sunday. The battle, a hotly contested affair went to the former as revenge for their defeat of a week previous. The score was 14-8. Dede, on the mound or the Buccaneers set 10 Monarchs down via the whiff route, while his teammates pushed 8 tallies over in the third frame and counted 6 more before the fracas was over to win the decision. Powell with 4 hits in 5 trips plateward led the batters. ab h r Phillips,rf. 1 b h Jones,ss. 5 1 2 Davis,sb. 5 1 2 Coleman,rf. 5 2 2 Townsend,c. 5 0 1 BUTler,ib. 1 0 1 Powell,if. 5 4 1 NButter,2b. 5 2 1 BUTler,2b. 5 2 1 Grunnell,p. 0 0 1 FJohnson,c. 0 0 1 Totals. 1 15 14 C.Lucas,ss. 5 2 1 FBrown,2b. 5 1 0 Harkings,ib. 5 1 0 D.Kelly,3b. 5 1 9 Steward,rf. 5 2 1 Jonny,cf. 6 3 1 Queen,if. 3 0 1 Jonny,if. 3 0 1 Cosby,l. 4 2 1 West,2b. 1 0 0 Totals. 48 14 8 Pirates. 003 002 04x-14 15 Monarchs. 003 002 04x-14 8 Two-hass hit -Townsend.

U. Gibson, official starter, fires the gun which will launch the runners into the first race of the National Open Track and Field Championships to be held in the Howard University Stadium, Wednesday, May 30. A holiday crowd, surpassing in numbers any in attendance at recent track contests, according to Howard officials, will open its gigantic mouth in one crude yell, the echo of which will hardly be dead when the last faint whisper of a hoarse multitude fades in the twilight stretches of "Reservoir Hill." Eastern League Thrives in Spite of Many Enemies What is believed to be the largest number of entries ever received by the Department of Physical Education, under which supervision the meet is staged, is now in hand. Chief among the contestants entered is a large squad bearing the Orange and Blue of Lincoln University, and some fifteen or more runners representing the New York City Salem Crescent A.C. Feature Attractions As has been the policy of Blue and White officials for the past several years, two or three nationally prominent track figures have been induced to appear to add spice to the program. Phil Edwards, national collegiate 880-yard titleholder, and anchor man on the champion New York University relay team, has consented to participate in an exhibition half-mile race. William Butler, Olympic candidate for the quarter-mile, will run a special 440-yard dash, and "Big Tom" Anderson has entered as a competitor in the discus throw. Anderson, four years ago, was one of the country's leading weight and javelin tossers. In 1827 the feature attractions were Cecil Cooke, Syracuse quarter-mile star; Gus Moore, now crack distance runner at University of Pittsburgh, and Charlie Majors, St. Bonaventure College high jump marshal. Prior to that the Howard meets had featured such men as DeHart Hubbard, Charlie West, Ned Gourdin and Charlie Drew. In addition, the Holy Cross A.C. Pittsburgh, Pa., has entered several stars of national reputation. Ken Wibecan, Speed Utterbaefl, and Gus Moore will show under the colors of the Episcopalans. Wibecan is a demon at the 100- and 220-yard sprints, Utterback is considered the best decathlon material the University of Pittsburgh has had in a number PHILADELPHIA, Pa., (ESWA) —The Eastern League has finally gotten under way in spite of enemies without and snipers within. Four teams swung into action on April 29, and the fifth club, the Philadelphia Tigers, opened its home season at Pencoy Park the following Saturday. A large crowd attended the game and were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected strength of Smittie Lucas' entry. Pencoy Park is not ten miles from the city, according to the misinformation released by some sinister source. It is more readily accessible to fans than is Hilldale Park and many favorable comments were heard from white and colored fans who made the initial trip there. Black Sox Baltimore has shown unusual strength. Ben Taylor has molded what looks like a championship team for George Rossiter down there. He has the best outfield in the league in Dixon, Washington and Holloway, a combination of batting and hitting power which is unique. Each man is a speed merchant and the only way a fly ball can escape that trio is to go over the fence or drop as a Texas leaguer. The infield measures up to any in the game with Taylor, Jackson and Wilson on the bases and Scrapy Brown at short. A well-balanced hurling corps numbers Norman Yokelley, Strong, Force, McClure, Collins and two other recruits among its members. Clark and Eggleston are high-grade catchers. The team's lack seems to be in reserve strength. Bacharachs "Children of misfortune" might well be applied to Ike Washington's Bacharach Giants. Grief has been the fare on which the new magnate has fed ever since he bought out the warring factions at the Shores. To begin with Lockart, Jones and Wagner have not reported as yet. All are in school although Lockart's connections are as coach rather than a student. Johnny Cason was signed up to the heavy work pending Jones' arrival and last week Collier, of Buck Swing's Al-Stars, was hired THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1928 RICHARDSON TO-RUN IN HOWARD MEET Word comes from New York City as we go to press that Roland Richardson, holder of the scholastic record for the 100 and 220 yard dashes and formerly the idol of local cinderpath followers, has applied for a post in those events at the Howard University track meet, Wednesday. Richardson writes that he is "in the pink of condition and never felt better." He says he is training diligently for the Olympic tryouts. Richardson can best be remembered by his achievements on the Shaw Junior and Dunbar High School track teams of a few years back. He is a stylist, running with the grace and rhythm of a dancer, and lightning fast. of years, and Moore needs no introduction. Haley Douglas will referee the meet. L. U. Gibson of Baltimore will start, with John H. Burr of Howard University, clerk of the course, and E. B. Henderson, scorer. The time limit for receiving entries has been extended to May 28. All bona fide amateur athletes are eligible to enter the open events. Only bona fide high school students will be eligible to enter the scholastic events. Trophies for the winners are now on display at the office of Murray Brothers' printing establishment, 920 U street, northwest. The varsity "H" plans to entertain the visiting athletes and their friends at an informal reception in the gymnasium the evening of May 30. All contestants and spectators are invited to attend this affair. to assist the premier mitt artist of the league. Cason, incidently, was injured in the opening game in New York and Dallard had to be brought in from outfield to do duty behind the plate. Dick Lundy went to bed for several days with the flu and as soon as he was up Chaney White took his vacant spot under the covers. Grier and Henderson both reported out of condition and that wrecked the gunning crew. Grier has been given a definite time to get in shape or be ticketed. Rats is about ready for regular duty. Green, first baseman of the Ewing team, was signed for duty and has looked good to date. Gardener, Farrell, Stanley and Mitchell are doing the bulk of the hurling and the strain on these pitchers has been great. With a glaring hole in the infield Manager Lundy has wired to California to a noted infielder and he is expected any minute. Marcelle, Lundy and Reid are playing their usual, steady, supergame. Cubans The absence of Martin Dihigo, who jumped Alessandro Pompez to play with the Homestead Grays, has weakened that team to some extent but Herrera is due to make the fans forget the colorful Dihigo. With Oscal, San, Ruiz, and Juanello in form, Oms and Baro in the gardens and Perez, Alfonso, Fernandez and Bejerano in the nearer reaches, the club is ready. Lincoln The Lincoln Giants have a mystery team but one which should go far towards deciding the pennant in the East. If Rojo has reported, Burnett will probably be dropped as a catcher and Spearman retained. Rector, Gisentaner, Winters and Gilmore are a weak pitching staff—in numbers. The erratic Winters may or may not be of service to the Bronx outfit and Jim Keenan will get a few more gray hairs looking for capable moundsmen. The death of Rube Chambers last winter was a serious blow to his hopes. ```markdown ``` FINALS IN GOLF TOURNEY TO BE PLAYED SUN. FINALS IN GOLF TOURNEY TO BE PLAYED SUN. Finalists will meet in the Open Golf Tournament, being sponsored by Harry Jackson and Lorenzo Martin and being played over the Lincoln Memorial course, Sunday. N. Spriggs, whose medal score of 67 led the first day's qualifying round, is carded to meet Dr. Harris, one of the city's leading amateur golfers, for the championship of the first flight. Much interest is already manifest in this match, and it is expected that when the two contestants tee off a large gallery of golf enthusiasts will be on hand to witness the battle. Springgs defeated E. Smith to reach the finals while Dr. Harris conquered M. Smith, whose complete washout of Beltran D. Barker started last Sunday's onlookers. Barker's conqueror had an average of 11 straight threes, winning by the overwhelming margin of 8 up and 7. (This means Smith had won 8 holes and with only 7 more to play, Barker was out of the match. Had he won all 7, they would have done him no good.) In the second flight W. Green meets B. Robinson. Dr. G. Adams plays C. Honesty for the championship of the third flight. The Results The results of the first day of match play: N. Spriggs defeated Levenberry 8 and 7; E. Smith defeated Watson 4 and 3; Dr. Harris defeated P. Goodwin 6 and 5; M. Smith defeated B. Barker 8 and 7; W. Carter defeated C. White 3 and 2; W. Green defeated N. Mackell 2 and 1; E. Robinson defeated F. Fields 6 and 4; G. Clark defeated H. Beall 3 and 2; C. Honesty defeated E.

Payne by default; W. Wheeler defeated R. W. Jones by default, and W. Page defeated E. Graatt 7 and 6. N. Spriggs defeated E. Smith 6 and 4; Dr. Harris defeated M. Smith 3 and 1; W. Green defeated W. Carter 3 and 1; B. Robinson defeated G. Clark 1 up; C. Honesty defeated W. Smith 2 and 1; G. Adams defeated J. Shippen by default. DUNBAR HIGH GIRLS IN SWIMMING MEET A swimming meet held in the pool of the Dunbar High School last Thursday featured a bevy of pretty high school coeds and a variety of stroke races. Hazel Frye, with three first places, was the outstanding star of the contests. The 100-yard dash was won by Hazel Frye. Catherine Brown and Elizabeth Frye finished first and second in the 40-yard dash, while Juanita Jamieson and Cecil McIntosh took the prize places in the beginners' 20-yard dash. The non-beginners' 20-yard dash was taken by Catherine Brown. Hazel Frye won the candle race, then followed with a win of the back stroke competition. The backward dive event was won by Evelyn Peyton, and the form dive by Marjorie Wormley. Florence Phillips outswam the under-water mermaids by traveling a distance of 67 feet while submerged. Other girls who competed were Elsie Allen, Nellie Barnes, Marguerite Murray, Marguerite Proctor, Evelyn Washington, Marie Clark, Enid Robinson, Evelyn Byrd, Hildred Thomas, Zelma Williams and Yvonne Walker. No infield is weak which can boast Carlo, Lloyd, Scales and Riggins. It is air-tight. J. Hennery, himself, is a vital force on the sack and with the bat. In the outfield are Young, Mason, Gray, formerly of the Homestead Grays, and, possibly Jenkins. The status of the clever Fats is yet undetermined although he has appeared for the Lincoln under the nem de game of "Williams". He is the property of the Black Sox and Keenan is anxious to sign him for his outer patrol. Philadelphia Tigers. The Philadelphia Tigers are not going to be any soft spot in the schedule for the other clubs and the addition of a few more men will make Sittiek Lucas' team a formidable one. Cliff Carter, Bill Johnson, Sess Johnson, Alex Cooper, Namon Washington, George Johnson and Bunnie Downs are a nucleus for a good team. Despite the rais conducted by other outfits the league is far from bereft of stars. Have alook—Luther Farrell, Rat Henderson, Dick Lundy, Reid, Chaney White, Marcelle, Johnny Cason, Ben Taylor, Norman Yokeley, Rap Dixon, Crush Holloway, Pete Force, Strong, Eggleston, Gray, Jenkins, Mason, Gisentancer, Rector, Rojo, Oscal, Baro, Oms, Herrera, Juanello, Alfonzo, San, Carter, the Johnsons, Cleo Smith, etc. FLOWERS PROVES RIGHT TO CONFIDENCE OF SPORT EDITOR In glancing through the files of the Tribune, the eye of one falls, unfailing and unconsciously, on columns of "The Reflector" and "Sam's Scripts." These columns, according to opinions of readers as expressed in many letters asking for a resumption of them, are favorites. Back many moons "The Reflector" named Bruce Flowers as perhaps the most dependable of Negro fighters of the present day. It pictured him as the Tribune's favorite in the fastic sphere. In view of his steady climb toward the heights of pugilistic fame during the past year, the writer takes this opportunity to reproduce in part that Reflector: "Many and varied have been the praises sung, loud has been the acclamation of various "Black Menaces." Much has been said and done to bring to the mind's eye Negro fighters who have risen to places of distinction in the ring game. "The title 'Black Menace', had its inception, I believe, in an article written by W. O. McGeehan (white), of the New York Herald-Tribune sometime ago. It referred to colored fighters since the days of Molleaneaux early in the nineteenth century to the advent of George Godfrey. The article was written to show that always there was a Negro menacing the holders of the world boxing crowns. "Since that writing, sports writers the country over, have carried stories on their favorite 'Black Menaces.' The most widely referred to among them are George Godfrey and Bob Lawson. Of course there are others—but listen, folks. "I rise to nominate Bruce Flowers. "Now, while I am not as well acquainted with the activities among the gentlemen of the fistic sphere as a great many of my colleagues, take my word for it, here is our most dependable piece of fighting hopes. "Referred to as 'The second Joe Gans,' Bruce is a fighter who can and will hold his own with anything short of a tiger, provided of course, it makes the 135-pound limit and dons the regulation mitt. "Let's take a look at theiad. He was born and reared in New Rochelle, New York, where Negroes, regardless of sex, are fighters—for reference see Kip Rhineland. His first job was is a plumber's assistant. (The plumber's assistant is the boy who carts the tools.) Graduating from the plumbing business, Bruce took up the duties of an iceman. He Can Punch "Constant muscular development resulting from his early labors has given Flowers an ability to punch and punch hard with either or both hands. He possesses a right-hand punch which he uses in a sort of overhand swing. When it lands, folks, they tell me it carries much the same result as being crowned by half of a Ford axle. . . . "Bruce Flowers is fast, shifty, clever, a puncher and modest. I rise to nominate a new 'Black Menace.'" Bruce Flowers began as an amateur. He took to the ring game during his struggle for a living selling newspapers on street corners in his home town. He fought more than 200 fights as an amateur for the winning of which he was presented with gold watches, pins and medals. These he turned into money, easily finding purchasers who would gladly snatch them up for display purposes. For four years he stuck to the non-paid world, taking up the sport as a profession less than three years ago. Not Related to "Tiger" Like the late "Tiger" Flowers, not a relative, Bruce is a strict church-goer and the idol of J. B. Boady, pastor of the Baptist Church in New Rochelle which the lightweight attends. It is only of late that the Negro has come to the fore in the lightweight division. This is due partly to the fact that he has become a socker and a knockerout. He is coupling science with a wallop and has demonstrated this in his last six houts. Only a week ago he scored a technical knockout out Stanislas Loazy, Chilian lightweight, in two rounds. Prior to that bout he knocked out Nat Kawler in five rounds. This was the first time Kawler was ever K. O'd. In three previous contests he defeated Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Express; Spug Myers of Chicago; and Honeyboy Finnegan in Boston. It was Finnegan's first defeat in his home town in four years. In addition he fought a stubborn tenure draw with Lope Tenorio in the Garden. Drops His Man In each of these bouts Flowers staggered his opponents, and in the battle with Tenorio came off the floor in the first round to drop the Filipino in the third for a count of nine. He knocked Loayza right out of his bout with Tenorio in the Garden last Friday night, and when Jess McMahon tried to get Flowers to substitute for the Chilian, Flowers refused the match because he had previously given his word to Eddie McMahon, matchmaker of the St. Nicholas Arena, to fight Sid Barbarian, Detroit southpaw. It was a poor financial bargain that Flowers made, and although contracts were signed he would not side track a small club matchmaker for any contest, save perhaps, a chance at the title-holder. If he continues his winning streak by defeating Sid Terris at Ebbets Field, June 6, he will rest up for a chance with the winner of the Sammy Mandell-Jimmy McLarnin, who meet for the world's title at the Polo Grounds, May 17. Without a question or writing immediately he will call names, tell you the object of your call. Describes your friends and enemies. He asks no questions. No paper and pencil used.

Traynham Treasury, after two defeats and as many ties, finally broke into the win column by staging a six-run rally in the final inning, to turn an apparent defeat into victory, last Thursday against Vets' Bureau. Agriculture made 17 hits in a recent game but were unable to use them to the best advantage and bowed to the Veterans' Bureau. Seven errors aided in their downfall. Navy Yard, due to inexperience, was unable to successfully stall long enough to earn a tie game, after playing the reserves of the G.P.O. evenly for four innings, forged to the front only to be stopped short by the regulars at 6 all. Their tactics were too delibrate and the game was forfeited to G.P.O. Veterans' Bureau, as predicted, presented a stronger team and can be counted upon to give a good account of itself. Briscoe is the Babe Ruth of the league, having four circuit swats to his credit. Government Printing Office is so far ahead that it is almost a certainty they will cop the first series. Their heavy artillery, Bland, Dandridge, Brown and Braddic, are going like well oiled machinery. Departmental Tid Bits The ancient Dick Dandridge is fielding and hitting them as of old, and must have discovered the fountain of youth as he is full of "wim, wigor and vitality." A 100-yard race was suggested between Spike Bland and Ruddy Craig. Spike's supporters claim if he can keep from falling he can walk in, while those of the latter claim his superior rhythm will insure victory. Should be a great race.

Dan Benoit, stellar cross-fire burler of the Brightwood crew, was effective for 7 innings, but was relieved by Joe Shamwell, who held the menacing Tigers at bay.

Rogers has produced Harold Bell Right's "Shepherd of the Hills", for First National Pictures, to be presented at the Lincoln Theatre Wednesday and Thursday, May 30 and 31. An all star cast was selected with great care. After an intensive canvass of the entire film industry, Alec B. Francis was selected to play the title role in "The Shepherd of the Hills", Molly O'Day and John Boles were chosen to carry the romantic burden; Matthew Betz to play the villain role, and Romaine Fielding to enact the part of the Ozark patriarch, "Old Matt".

Friday and Saturday, June 1 and 2 will offer another opportunity of seeing the massive production of the "Hunchback of Notre Dame", of first night fame and the wonder of the age for the phenomenal success that seems to follow it, no matter how many times it is shown in a city. The mammoth production took a year to film and the cost exceeded $1,500,000. The full size reproduction of the great cathedral alone is said to have cost a million. In addition to this eight blocks of Paris street of the period of Louis XI were restored at Universal City as sets in the action of the classic French story. In addition to the showing of the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" on Saturday only, as an extra added attraction, there will be shown the Universal Chapter Play, "The Haunted Island", featuring Jack Daugherty.

WILLIE JACKSON IN LEONARD HARPER'S "SWANEE CLUB REVUE", HEADS THE GALA HOLIDAY PROGRAM AT THE HOWARD THEA- TRE, NEXT WEEK The Howard Theatre management takes great pleasure in offering its patrons, during the coming holiday week, New York's latest and greatest revue, "Swanee Club Revue". This production was staged and directed by a well known and popular colored director, Leonard Harper. Mr. Harper has not brought one of his productions to Washington for almost two years. This last achievement, however, still lingers in the minds of the Washington theatre-goers in that never forgotten "Kentucky Club Revue". Heading the list of stars that are coming with this production will be seen none other than New Orleans Willie Jackson, also Doris Rhuebottom, as well as Wells and Mordecai, Marye Pervall, Harriet Calloway, Boots Hope, Mae Diggs and E. S. Hutchins, and last but not least little Willie Jackson, Jr., who is nothing more than a mere child of twelve and will show the patrons some tap dancing such as has never been done before. In addition to the stars as named above, there is also with the show a big musical chorus of Swance Synopators. As a fit addition to the show, the management has added the screen attraction "The College Hero", which will be shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "The College Hero" is the picturization of campus days with swift moving romance, mad pranks and has a thrilling climax, which will fire the spirit of enthusiasm in all who see it. Bobby Agnew, Pauline Garon and Ben Turpin will be seen in the past. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen the screen's most beautiful woman, Billie Dove, in "The Heart of a 'ollies Girl'." This is one of those rare pictures that combines gay, colorful atmosphere with a powerful dramatic plot. Friday night, the regular Mid- mite Ramble will be held, at 12:15. went over big. The steps were well executed. Miss Saunders rendered three selections which demonstrated that she still retains her uniqueness in the vocal cords. Sammy Paige on the uke.was a nice novelty act. The finale with the entire company proved a thriller. Usually the audience begin to leave when this part is reached, but not with this show. It holds them in their seats until the curtain hits the floor and then they call for more. Jakie Young, Eloise and Billy Mitchell get the big hand in the finale. Eloise's number especially goes over big. WHITE PIANIST ACCOMPANIES RACE ARTIST SOUTH BEND, Ind.-For the first time in the history of this city, a white pianist accompanied a colored concert singer during her recital. Mme. Clara Roma, lyric soprano, who appeared here in recital, so impressed the music lovers of the city, that President Smoger of the South Bend Conservatory of Music, provided Miss Margaret Holem (white) to accompany the singer. A capacity audience composed of both races attended the recital among which was the high officials of the city and county. HOWARD BAND IN FINAL CONCERT ON HILL The Howard University R.O.T.C. band presented its final concert in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Monday, May 21, at 10 a.m. Sergeant John J. Price is the band leader.

The concert took exactly one hour, being rendered during one of the study periods at the school. The audience was one of the most appreciative to which the band has played this season. SENSATIONAL OPEN AIR ACTS AT GARDENS The sensational Hartwells, a European novelty serial act, will be the open air attraction at Suburban Gardens, Fifth and Hayes streets, northeast, next week. Their performances are done on swinging ropes. For quite some time, the Hartwells have been a standard headlining act on the Keith-Albe circuit, and were featured two years ago with Ringling Bros., Barnum-Bailey show. They were a sensation in Europe, where for eighteen weeks last year, they performed at the Wembley London Exhibition. Their act is a real thriller. The Flying Sullivans, which closes at the Gardens this Saturday night, has had the crowds gasping, and thrilled at their feats. Their daring somersaults in the air from one trapeze to another, their fearlessness and disregard for death is astonishing. Their last performance will be tomorrow night (Saturday), at 11:15.

Opening its doors to the public on May 30, 1921, the Republic has chosen with great care its program to be presented for the coming week. Adolph Menjou, the suave sophisticate of the screen will be show. in his latest picture "Serenade" on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 27, 28 and 29. Menjou is cast as the great musician who lived his song of love. A genius o a great lover? Which? He had to choose marriage to an innocent girl and applause of the multitude or flaming romance with luring sirens—and the world go hang. Kathryn Carver, who Mr. Menjou married a few days ago in Paris, is the leading lady. It has often been said that truth is stranger than fiction! In the Paramount Picture "Jesse James" which will be shown at the Republic on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 30, 31 and June 1 and 2, this is borne out. Here is the true story of Jesse James—history's most colorful, misunderstood character. Loved by many, feared by most, but admired by all, the original Jesse James has come to life again. Fred Thompson has the role of 'Jesse James'. On Decoration Day (Wednesday, May 30) the Republic will open at 12 o'clock noon. Four Vitaphone acts will be shown on our Anniversary Week. Ein-Tin-Tin, the famous Warner Brothers' dog star, with his owner and friend Lee Duncan, is seen and heard for the first time as a Vitaphone Star. Mr. Duncan introduces Rin-Tin-Tin and puts him through some of his tricks and tells about the things he has done. The Two Doves offer a comedy dialogue and singing act entitled "Dark Days." Their work is along the lines of the Two Black Crows. Amateur Night on the Vitaphone will be another of the great acts offered. William Demarest whom you will remember having seen in the Vitaphone Act "When The Wife's Away" acts as the master of ceremonies. The audience is taken back in a very realistic manner to the theatre of yesterday to listen to the offerings of the amateurs. Completing this great bill is Eddie Peabody, the syncaping banjoist, assisted by Jimmy Maisel in "Banjamania." BROADWAY THEATRE "Thirty-Years Later," with an all-star colored cast will be shown at the Broadway Theatre, Sunday to Wednesday, May 27, 28, 29, and 30. It is a story of a man who was a Negro, thought he was white, but fell in love with a colored girl. See the ramifications. On Thursday and Friday, the feature picture will be "A Flame in the Sky," with Jack Luden. Sharon Lynn is the heroine. For Saturday only, the feature picture will be "His Foreign Wife," with Wallace MacDonald. It is a story of the war-period without the long-drawn-out battle scenes recalling that tragedy. Talent every Thursday. Three cash prizes offered. Every Saturday is country store night. REAL HIT AT HOWARD Billy Mitchell and Gertrude Saunders with a strong supporting cast are the attraction at the Howard Theater this week. The show is the best to play this house this spring. The comedy is furnished by Billy Mitchell and Freddie Robinson. Billy Mitchell has always been a local favorite and he more then makes good this time. "Baby" Kid's rendition of "My Mammy" received a well deserved hand. The military drill with James Brown, Lanny Martin and girls will go to the Howard Playground for an hour of free play. Girls to meet at the "Y" at 3:30. Friday, June 1, the Union Wesley Club girls will meet at 5 p.m. when reports will be made by the captains of the teams and plans will be completed for the musical to be given in June.

He was respected as one of the most capable students of the auto trade. Even while he was still an undergraduate, Taylor was given many jobs on the cars of the teachers of both high schools. With Haskell W. Jones, a friend, Taylor opened a partnership business on December 10, 1927, at 915 U street, northwest. Becoming a success, the business on January 12, 1928, was moved to the larger and more convenient quarters at 813 Florida avenue. Thursday, May 31, will be Eastern Star Night at the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association. The principal feature of this occasion will be a three-act play entitled "The Traveling Man", by Mrs. Ella F. Barnes, who is donating her services. Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Evans and others are also giving their services in musical selections. There will be no admission charge. U ST. TIRE & BATTERY SHOP, UNDER ARMSTRONG BOY, SUCCESSFUL This is the second of a series of articles being published by the Washington Tribune dealing with high school graduates who have made good in business. This week's installment takes Ernest Taylor, copier of the U Street Tire and Battery Shop, at 813 Florida avenue, northwest. Taylor is a graduate of the Armstrong High School in the class of 1926. Like Sandy Levi, whom we discussed in our opening article, Taylor fell into a trade course of which he became very fond. The interest manifested by Levi in shoe repairing, was equaled by Taylor's earnestness in the study of auto mechanics.
