ONE REASON WHY Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, doesn't forget his appointments is that Miss Katherine Beard, 1439 S street, is the stenographer. Miss Beard is the ward of Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion Church.

MEETING IN TUMULT
Thunderous Applause Shakes Convention Hall After Stirring Address
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The Democratic candidate (who she said wishes to modify the 18th amendment) were subjected to a verbal barrage when Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls at Washington, read her report to the National Baptist Convention here, Friday.
"The nation is in the midst of a political campaign the moral issues of which are comparable on- to those over which the Civil War was fought," declared Miss Burroughs.
"The test in this campaign is a test of the strength of the amendments to the Constitution. If the eighteenth amendment is not strong enough to stand—if we vote men into office who sanction its modification or annulment—we might as well sign the death certificate of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. If prejudice ever has a chance to tear up or tamper with one of the amendments to the Constitution, that same prejudice will take advantage of the glorious opportunity and modify the War Amendments. It cost the nation billions of dollars and thousands of lives to get those three amendments into the Constitution. They are blood amendments, baptized in the carnage of Gettysburg and sealed with the blood of Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theatre. They are our most sacred heritage and we should wade through blood to safeguard them.

Skinner was arrested by Headquarters Detectives B. W. Thompson, and Ira E. Keck, on August 29. When arraigned before Judge Robert E. Mattingly, he demanded a jury trial.
After several continuances, the case was brought to trial, September 12. Evidence was brought out showing that Skinner had passed several bogus checks between October, 1927, and April, 1928.
Assistant United State Attorney Walter M. Shea appeared for the Government.

ASK PRESIDENT TO HALT POLICE BRUTALITY
Fight to Curb Indiscriminate Shootings of Negroes, Carried to White House
SPURS MINISTERS
The fight to curb brutality and the unwarranted shooting of Negroes by policemen was taken up in earnest by the local Bar Association this week and resulted in a petition being sent to President Coolidge, imploring him to take a hand in the matter.
The president was informed that the shooting, rough handling and other misdemeanors of the police perpetrated against Negroes instead of decreasing crime had a tendency to demoralize the force and increase crime.
Houston Stirs Ministers
The resolution which was drawn up by Charles E. Robinson, president of the Bar Association and Earl Alexander, secretary, followed closely upon the action taken by W. L. Houston attorney, who wrote a circular letter to the ministers of the city urging them to take a hand in the fight.
Mr. Houston's letter says in part:
"The time has come for the Negro leaders to show their own indignation against these murderous attacks on our people by these Washington policemen. If we do not voice our indignation and resentment, we have no reason to expect others to take up the fight in behalf of our rights. The ministers of the city have the power through their pulpits to call a halt to these murders and if they will speak out their voices will be heard and heeded by the officials of the government."
SHRINERS' CASE UP AGAIN IN OCTOBER
The Supreme Court of the United States will convene October 1. A decision in the case of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine is expected.
The case involves the question of whether the white Shriners are entitled to an injunction restraining the colored Shriners from using a name so similar to theirs and also from using the names "Shrine," "Shriners" and "Nobles," and the constitution, emblems, insignia and paraphernalia of the order.
James E. White, Samuel A. T. Watkins, Moorfield Story and Harold H. Davis were the attorneys for the colored Shriners. Attorney General Claude P. Pollard, of Texas, John H. Crooker and D. A. Simmons were the attorneys for the white Shriners.
SLASHED SWEETIE; GETS TWO YEARS
Vance Williams, 32, was sentenced to a total of two years when he was arraigned before Judge Robert E. Mattingly on a slashing charge, Thursday of last week. Williams was accused of cutting Beatrice Jones, with a razor on August 19, last, so severely that the woman was confined in the hospital for several weeks. The cutting followed an argument, according to witnesses. A sentence of one year was imposed, but another year must be served in default of a $500 fine.

TABLES TURNED IN COURT,
JUDGE SCORES PLAINTIFF
Following his acceptance of the personal bond of Harry Brooks, 1709 Ninth street, north west, upon his arraignment on a charge of leaving the scene after colliding, Judge Isaac R. Hitt reprimanded the complaining witness for bringing in and causing the arrest of a man who had merely knocked the cap off the hub of his machine.
Judge Hitt told the complainant that the courts were for the settlement of difficulties which could not be settled on the outside. A hub cap, the court inferred, was a trivial matter.
Brooks was also charged with operating without a permit, however, and a fine of $15 was imposed on this count.

Alfred E. Smith, of New York, the Democratic presidential nominee. Asked when he would fight again, Johnson replied:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Accusing him of being interested in the organization of Al-Smith-for-President Clubs, Isaiah Tribble, thirty-five, a Negro contractor of this city, was kidnapped and whipped early yesterday by three unmasked white men, according to a report being investigated today by police.
Tribble said that when the trio told him his case should be a warning to all Negroes he replied that he never had voted and did not plan to vote. He said he was standing on a corner in the western part of the city, when the men accosted him and put him into an automobile, saying they were officers arresting him.
Driving into the country, they clothed him and while one sat on his head, another on his feet, the third man beat im with a leather strap two inches thick for fifteen or twenty minutes, Tribble said. He declared that pleas for mercy brought no leniency.
Tribble ran from the men, he said, when they finished with the whipping and were debating whether to kill him. He was picked up by a band of colored men who had witnessed the kidnapping and had given fruitless pursuit to the abductors' automobile.

Failure to obtain a warrant for the arrest of a man who she claimed owed her rent, caused Cora Fisher, 1535 Ninth street, northwest, to give vent to her wrath on the attorney for the accused man. Hence Attorney Harry Dyson, standing just outside of the District Attorney's office, was set upon by the woman, in Police Court, Tuesday morning.
The lawyer then succeeded where his assailant-to-be had failed. He applied for a warrant for her arrest on a charge of assault, and ten minutes later, the case was called before Judge Gus A. Schuldt, who fined her $15.
DR. MONTGOMERY DIESAFTER SHORT ILLNESS HERE
Former Assistant Superintendent of D.C. Schools Succumbs at Eleventh Street Residence
HAD COLORFUL CAREER
The colorful career of Dr. Winfield Scott Montgomery, who for forty-seven years has served the public schools of Washington during which time he climbed to the uppermost rung of the system, was brought to a close here when he succumbed at his home, 1912 Eleventh street, Tuesday.
Dr. Montgomery was retired three years ago after he had served in various administrative capacities including the position of assistant superintendent of colored schools. His illness was said to be brief.
A. B.
Dr. Montgomery was born of slave parentage at Mass., 114, dh333.
and went to Vermont with a regiment of volunteers which was stationed at New Orleans following the Civil War, where he was educated as a part of the family of Col. Henry F. Dutton.
Funeral Today
Funeral services for Dr. Montgomery were held this afternoon (Friday) at 2 o'clock, from the Berean Baptist Church. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Rosa Wilder Montgomery; a son, Wilder, and four daughters, Mrs. Lee Cook, Mrs. Thomas Smith, Mrs. Lydia Hillman, and Mrs. Scotttrosa G. Montgomery.

Lauds Dr. Montgomery
Mr. Wilkinson reported the death of Dr. W. S. Montgomery, "To him as to no other man in the past one-half century," Mr. Wilkinson said, "was given the opportunity of supervising and directing the public education of his race on all levels of instruction in a public school system. His chief contribution is the inspiration to pupils, teachers, and patrons of the public schools of the District of Columbia, derived from his noble character and noteworthy career."

HER
RAPED AT POINT OF PISTOL
Mother of Four Carried to Lonely Spot by Pair Wha Ravish Her
How she was kidnapped by two men who offered to carry her home, carried out into the country and forcefully raped at the point of a pistol by the pair, was related to Judge Gus Al Schult in police court by Mrs. Hazel Lee, 334 McLean street, southwest, mother of four children, Monday.
The men gave their names as Richard Gans and Ralph Richards, addresses unknown.
Mrs. Lee testified that she had encountered the two men at Sixteenth and Webster streets, northwest, as she was leaving her place of employment at 1624 Webster street, last Saturday night. She told the court that she accepted the offer of a lift as far as the Ninth street car line, but that when she got into the automobile driven by one of the men, it was turned in the direction of the nearby Maryland outskirts instead of into the city proper. In spite of her continued protests, she said, the man kept driving away from town.
Men Used Revolver
Just outside of the city limits
and on the District side of the
Maryland State Line, Mrs. Lee told
the court, the car was stopped.
There, while one of the men held
a 32 calibre revolver against her
body, his companion assaulted her.
Then, she said, while the man who
had at first held the gun, accomplished the same purpose, she was
menacied by the revolver in the
hands of the fellow-assailant.
Counsel for the men waived defense testimony. They were held in $3,000 bond each for grand jury action.
ONE ROBS TRUNK; ANOTHER TAKES TIRES; BOTH HELD FOR COURT
Two men charged with grand larceny after they had been arrested and arraigned before Judge Robert E. Mattingly were ordered held for the action of the grand jury, Friday.
James L. M, 518 Robbs court,
northeast, was held under $3,000
bond, and Calvin Chase, 13 K
street, southeast, who is charged
also with housebreaking, was held
under bond of $2,000.
May is accused of taking $100 from a trunk in the house where he roomed. Chase is accused of breaking into a garage owned by John J. Reil, at 10 L street, southeast, and taking five tires, four wheels and other accessories.

Putting an Education to Use
The school bells will ring Monday morning, September 17, summoning approximately twenty thousand children to the class rooms. Over seven hundred teachers will be on hand to receive them and direct their registration. Hundreds will be entering for the first time. To them it will be one of the biggest moments in their lives. While other thousands will be entering the higher grades and thereby taking on the more serious aspect of their training. In order that a large group of these twenty thousand students can attend school, na-

rents, young and old, guardians, relatives—and in many cases, friends—must sacrifice and sacrifice.
What will it profit these parents, if they succeed in giving their children an education, but fail to provide for their future? Entirely too many children are being sent to school with no provisions being made to utilize their learning after they have finished. It is expecting too much of the young graduates when you ask them to succeed when they have been given only a light but no equipment with which to fight life's bread and butter battles.
For every dollar invested in the education of Negro children, at least two should be invested in providing a future for them. If the second investment is not made, of what good is the first?
For every student entered in school Monday, girl or boy, someone will have spent for that particular occasion from five dollars up for their clothing and accessories. For every student in the upper grades, someone will have to purchase books and supplies in addition to clothing.
As children must have clothing and school supplies, this money then represents the parents' investment in their education. If this money is invested wisely, it will yield abundant dividends in the years to come by making it possible for these children to receive necessary employment when they are out of school. If it is not spent wisely, not only are there no dividends, but the principal itself is lost. Therefore, it behooves every parent, guardian, relative or friend who enters a child in school, in Washington or elsewhere, to spend every dollar possible for their education with merchants who will give their wards employment commensurate with the training they have received while in school. So far as this city is concerned, there are few or no stores owned by the other group in which Negroes can get employment above the grade of porter, deliveryman, maid, charwoman or stock clerk. Every dollar spent in these stores is but perpetuating this economic slavery with which the race is bound.
It is true that there are not stores here operated by Negroes where everything is sold that is necessary to properly equip and maintain a child in school. But there are some where many things that are necessary can be purchased. And, by supporting these stores, you are simply making it possible for stores handling other articles to be opened.
The duty of providing an economic future for the youth of today does not rest alone with those who have children in school. This duty is just as incumbent on the teachers. They should set the example. It is treason when school teachers tell their students that certain books can be purchased only in white bookstores when colored stores have full stocks of the same books—and these teachers know it. This thing has happened right here, not once, but many times.
It requires no great amount of schooling to hop bells, to be a porter or a special deliveryman, a maid, a nurse or an elevator operator. But it does require an education to be a clerk in a store, a stenographer, or the manager or proprietor of a business.
Into which category will the children entering school Monday graduate?

According to press dispatches from Brattleboro, Vt., Col. Ernest W. Gibson, Congressman from that state, and head of a special committee which was appointed in the last Congress to investigate conditions in the District, has suggested that what Washington needs is a marine officer at the head of its police department.
There are many things wrong with the local department, but they must get infinitely worse before we will say that we need a marine officer. Negro prisoners have fared badly under the present regime; but no condition is so bad that it cannot be worse.
Of all departments of the army or navy that are noted for being hard boiled, the marine corps is the worst. When President Wilson decided to rape Hayti, he sent the marines to do the job; and a swell job they did—and are still doing. Brutal, ruthless and no respecter of citizens' rights have been these "devil dogs" of Uncle Sam's fighting forces. Therefore, what must an officer of the marines be?

EDUCATION does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is not teaching the youth the shapes of letters and the tricks of numbers, and then leaving them to turn their arithmetic to roguery, and their literature to lust. It means, on the contrary, training them into the perfect exercise and kingly continence of their bodies and souls. It is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all—by example.

Well, I see where the schools are to be opened next week and they are planning to stress vocational guidance again this year. The object of vocational guidance says Garnet C. Wilkinson is to dignify labor. That is a good idea, why don't they make all janitors wear full dress suits so they will look dignified also.
Dignity is all right in its place, but no matter how many airs a street cleaner puts on, nobody will mistake him for a bank president.
It wouldn't be a bad suggestion to make bricklayers keep their fingers manicured and make all truck drivers take a course in etiquette.
* * * * *
Dignity is just the thing at a parlor social, but it's all wet in a boiler factory. The most dignified people are often the biggest loafers. One guy we know is so proud of his job that he won't abuse it by overdoing it.
* * * * *
Work would be a splendid thing if there wasn't so much of it. We don't know who invented labor, but we wish he had stayed and finished it.
* * * * *
Man is supposed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, and then he can't eat it because his wife is a bum cook.
The only trouble with industrial education is the more education a guy gets the less industrious he becomes. The faster his brain works, the slower his hands move.
* * * * *
Some birds won't even look in the dictionary for fear of finding work in it. Some quit their jobs at twelve o'clock figuring that a half a loaf is better than no loaf at all.
I also see by the papers that that there is a movement on foot to make it so women can do the proposing because marriage statistics show that the men are falling down on the job.
* * * * *
Many a man who has been roaming carefree on the plains of bachelorhood for the past four years will be brought down on the hoof.
Every Jane is ready to jump out of the frying pan of spinsterhood into the fire of matrimony.
* * * * *
They figure that a ring on the finger is better than two in a pawn shop. They lure a man into a dimly lighted parlor where he steals a kiss, and a minister sentences him to life employment.
* * * * *
Many a man enters marriage on the assumption that two can live as cheaply as one only to learn that the groceryman doesn't believe in that theory.
DO YOU REMEMBER
SEVEN YEARS.AGO—
when Miss Carrie Johnson, who was accused of the murder of Detective Wilson, during a riot, but was acquitted, sued the Pollyanna Social Club for $978 which they were alleged to have collected at a benefit given for her, but which they failed to turn over to her?
when the Senate failed to confirm the nomination of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia?
when Prof. Walter L. Smith, instructor of mathematics at Dunbar High School was appointed to the principalship vacated by Garnet C. Wilkinson when the latter accepted the position of assistant superintendent of schools?
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Things Worth Knowing
In order not to sew buttons on children's clothes too tightly so they will make it hard for child to button, lay a medium-sized needle or pin across the face of button and sew this. Fasten thread before you remove needle or pin, else you will draw stitch and spoil it.
You will find there is a good shank to the button, yet it will be perfectly secured.—Mrs. M. B.
When changing elastic at the knees or waists of children's rompers and bloomers, the new elastic to the end of the old piece.
As the old is pulled out, the new will be drawn into place.—Miss D.
To Fasten Strainer Cloth—Small spring clothespins will be found very handy for fastening a strainer cloth over a pail when straining hot fruit juice or other hot liquids, as it leaves the hands free to handle the pan.—Mrs. P. W.
(Perhaps you know something that will be a help to others. Send it into the Household Hints Editor.)

ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL
Washington is a city where people eat in restaurants a great deal. That is why the drug stores do such flourishing business in indigestion tablets.
The eating out is due to several causes. In many cases the women don't know how to cook, and in a great many more instances the husbands don't bring home anything for them to cook if they know how.
A lot of wives drag their husbands out to restaurants because they know that there he will try to show off and buy her a decent meal. The opinion held in other cities that Washingtonians don't eat, is false. Washingtonians eat more than do people in any other city. If you can't believe it, try taking a Washingtonian out to dinner once.
If you ever happen to get up early enough to see the working classes heading towards their places of employment you will learn that there are a lot of women and girls earning their own board and keep. The saying that heaven protects the working girl may be true, but if you notice the kind of clothes that they wear you will also come to, the conclusion that there are a lot of Butter and Egg men in heaven.
How do they do it? Well, I'm asking you. $15 stenogs, waitresses, house maids and whatnots, dressed in the best of furs, silks and satins. I have my suspicions, which I will keep to myself, but suffice it to say that besides their regular vocations, a lot of innocent young damsels must be running some sort of concession on the side.
If I recall my history correctly, which is extremely doubtful, and George Washington did have something to do with the laying out of Washington, the surveying or something or other like that, I shall have a lot of crows to pick with the father of his country for doing his job so carelessly when I meet him.
If George really is to blame for the slipshod, make shift way that Washington has been put together, I expect to give him a piece of my mind.
George, if I am correct in laying the blame, has caused me no little confusion, embarrassment and caused me to waste a considerable amount of more or less valuable time.
* * * * * *
Washington does everything it can to make the stranger uncomfortable. It likes to get him up a tree. For instance you might be walking on Florida avenue when suddenly without warning, cause, or reason you find yourself on U street. Perhaps you like Florida avenue and don't like U street, but there is nothing to do about it. Florida avenue just changes its mind and becomes U street and that's that.
On Florida avenue you will find a place called the Florida Avenue Delicatessen. There the proprietor tells you that he sells thirty-five watermelons a day, and on some warm days in the summer he sells as high as sixty a day.
Who eats these watermelons? Surely not the same people who eat the forty-five and fifty each day just around the corner at the confectionary store. If these figures are right, and figures don't tell fibs, between the two places alone during the last three months somebody has devoured exactly 104,000 watermelons. This thing will bear investigating.—R. M.

IN THE PALACE OF HAPPI
NESS AND LOVE
It was a very sultry day, and I having nothing else to do, began thinking of riches and palaces. Of a sudden I found myself in a large marble building with arches and pillars all around me. There appeared before me a pretty Hawaiian girl who said to me, "Welcome to the Palace of Happiness and Love. I am at your service and will do whatever you bid."
I asked her to please bring two chairs on which she and I may sit. Lo! out came two short men, each bearing a golden chair in his hands. The girl, whose name was Nusca, and I sat in the chairs, and I asked her, "To whom does this beautiful palace belong?"
She replied, "To you. I thought you knew that this wealth belonged to you for not stepping on those flowers in the field yesterday. Have you forgotten how you warned Florence not to tread on the flowers because they could feel as well as people?"
Well, you can't imagine how strange I felt. I could not help crying, "Hurrah!"
"How do you know what happened in the field?" I asked.
"Can't you understand," she asked, "that this is a palace of imagination called, The Palace of Happiness and Love? Don't you know that we fairies know every-

thing that goes on in the world?" "Come now," she said, "and we will have dinner."
She led me into a great dining room where a table stood filled with foods of various kinds. We sat down at the table and had dinner. Just before we finished the lights went out. Ooh! Something was going to happen. I felt a touch on my shoulder and gradually the palace began to vanish. I heard mother's voice very faintly which began to come louder and louder calling, "Lorraine! Lorraine!" I found myself sitting on the couch, in my library, at home, and mother standing over me asking me what had happened. I told her about the palace—she laughed and said I had been dreaming. Yet I can't help thinking that my visit to the Palace of Happiness and Love was not true.

MY FIRST VACATION
By The Monoped
Pa was bubbling o'er with mirth
For auntie sent information
That she was lonesome, being alone
And for us to spend our vacation
With her some distance out of
town
And in a nice location.
Pa and ma decided
Then we began to have day dreams
Without any enervation;
We then-began to pack our trunks
Minus all hesitation;
And pa who always is so glum
Was full of conversation.
At last we'd packed our trunks jam
full,
And we liked our occupation:
And sis she worked so hard o'er
hers
She suffered nerve prostration:
And pa he brought her to herself
By giving her hot libation.
We started out upon our trip
So sis right out 'fore ma and pa
Started a real flirtation.
At last we reached with very much
joy.
Our longed for destination—
And pa he sudd'nly yells out,
"I've got an inspiration.
I'll hire a carriage and ride up
And prevent much observation."
The older folks met and there began
A lot of osculation,
And I stole off from 'mong the bunch
And starts an exploration—
And—presently I am involved
In a great examination
To find out how the bees did work—
And I got plenty information.
My stealing away, so I have to
My stealing away, so I've been told
Caused lots of animation;
But when those bees began to sting I set in circulation
A series of cries that let them know
My need of stimulation.
Now, if one of them
My need of stimulation.
Now if any of you should chance
to go
Away on a journey
Away on a vacation.
And if a hive of bees is owned
By the hest who's your relation,
Don't think that meddling with
those bees
Will cause your exultation
But just the reverse for I am sure
'Twill be your ruination.

ABE IN ARMS OF MOTHER DIES IN COURT ROOM
Parent Waiting to Testify Hurried from Stand as Child Succumbs
The Grim Reaper reached down on Judge Robert E. Mattingly's police court, Thursday morning, and momentarily halted judicial proceedings while He wafted the life out of an infant child held in the arms of its mother.
Mrs. Emma L. Jackson, 104 L street, northwest, the mother, was in court as the complaining witness in an assault case against Mattie Bowie, also of the 100 block of L street. She was sitting in conference on one of the court benches with Attorney M. Jackson, when death overtook the three-month-old child she held in her arms. Immediately she noticed the child gasping for breath, Mrs. Jackson arose and made her way quietly out of the courtroom. Lawyer Jackson, upon calling Emergency Hospital on the courthouse phone, learned that the ambulance was out on a call. The mother was placed in a passing automobile and rushed to the hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead by Dr. H. A. Hawfield. So orderly did the mother retire from the court that not until the case was called for a hearing did court attendants learn of the occurrence.
DEATH FROM BRICK FOLLOWS QUARREL OVER WOMAN
One of two bricks, hurled in the midst of a free-for-all street brawl, caused the death, late Thursday night, of Clarence R. Henderson, 24 years old, of 42 Florida avenue, northwest. Henderson died at Freedman's Hospital, where he was taken in an automobile driven by an unknown passerby, a few hours after the fight.
His assailant, Richard Robinson, whose address is unknown, escaped, and up to a late hour Thursday police were still in ignorance as to his whereabouts. Two others, Emanuel Galloway, 1031 Lamont street, and Oscar Rollins, 464 K street, southwest, who allegedly took part in the disturbance, are under arrest. Galloway was surrendered to Headquarters Detective Paul Jones by his attorney, Royal A. Hughes, shortly after the death of Henderson.
Sweetheart Blamed
The fight was the aftermath of a party at 3305 Sherman avenue, at which all of the principals had been in attendance. It began, it is believed, when Henderson took objections to attentions paid his young lady companion by Robinson. Upon leaving the party, the two men had words, which by the time they had reached Sherman avenue and Kenyon street, took on serious proportions.
Blows were passed. Rollins and Galloway, theretofore disinterested, took a part. Two bricks were allegedly thrown. Henderson fell to the ground, with a deep gash in his head.
At Freedmen's Hospital, Henderson was found to be suffering from a fracture of the skull which resulted in his death. A coroner's inquest was held at 2:30 o'clock Thursday, at which Galloway was exonerated.
LADIES' AUXILIARY MEETS
The seventeenth annual convention of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Army and Navy Union, U.S.A., was held September 4-7, in the Washington Hotel Auditorium, Fifteenth and Pennsylvania avenue, northwest.
The national body of the Army and Navy gave a reception to the colored delegates under the auspices of the Julia McN. Henry Auxiliary, No. 2, Army and Navy Union, at the residence of Past Lady Commander Katie Goodloe, 225 R street, northwest, on Friday evening September 7.
A literary and musical program was rendered. Mrs. Mattie Norris was mistress of ceremonies.
Miss Ethel Wiggins, newly elected national quartermaster of the national body, made the welcome address. Comrade Gibbs, of Flushing, Long Island, responded. Remarks were made by the following persons: Miss Jennie Morris, Lady Commander of Auxiliary No. 2. Captain Sylvester Epps, Past Commander of Guy V. Henry Garison, No. 9; T. Conray, Past Commander; Rev. John Boone, Seaman of Boston, Mass.; Mary Campbell, Sarah Irons, Jesse Johnson, Pierce, Mrs. Lula Cooper, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Bessie Goodloe, Henrietta Boone, Sarah E. Holmes, Ella Mills, and Martina Conray.
Several of these persons were from Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities.

tional committeeman, to conduct a campaign in that state.
The next few weeks may see the remaining states of the Solid South, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, added to the list that will probably give their electoral votes to Herbert Hoover in the November election.
Anti-Negro Sentiment Grows
One of the striking developments of the present campaign is the surrender of both the Republican and Democratic parties to anti-Negro sentiment.
The Republican party wants to break the Solid South. The Republican party managers were led to believe at first that there is a splendid chance for Republican success in North Carolina. Later Virginia and Florida of the ten states that constitute the Solid South were added to the list.

him while his victim, a 12-year-old girl, looks back with agonizing memory on last Sunday morning.
The little girl, a ward of the Child Welfare Board, took the stand in Police Court, Monday, and recited to Judge Gus A. Schuldt a pitiful story, of how she had run away from a nearby Virginia farm where she had been allegedly mistreated by her employers, had gone to the home of her sister in the 1300 block of Twenty-seventh street, northwest, and had been given a place to stay. She described how, early last Sunday morning, after having spent several nights at the house, she was awakened by the presence of a man in her room.
Attacked by Roomer
The child told Judge Schuldt that she recognized her assailant as the man who occupied the rear room of the home as a roomer. She told the court that the man entered the room, approached her bed and attacked her.
The father of the child took the

He said that he entered the house with officers from the Seventh Precinct station, for the purpose of returning the child to the custody of the Welfare Board. Upon entering the room, the father said he discovered the man in the child's bed. He immediately ordered his arrest.

There were Professor William

Well, next week we greet the
opening of the city schools. All
teacher and pupil vacationists
will be once more in the harness
for a while. The past week
many sojourners wended their
way to the city regretfully,
to take up their various duties.
Never you mind, in a month or

Smith after a wonderful motor
ve to ee and ae
‘ork, returned by way of New
Brunswick, N.J., and Princeton,
NJ., and were entertained by
the a Dr. and Mrs. Gay-
lord Howell. Of course every
one who knows this couple so-
cially wili readily know that
they. left no stone unturned in
trying to entertain their guests.
‘Mrs. Thelma Porter is a fair
visitor in gay old Harlem and
is being so royally entertained,
we know she will hate to return
to the capital.
The Messrs. Victor Daly, of
this city, and Thomas Posey,
formerly of this city, but now
teaching in West Virginia, after
a motor trip to New York and
a pee time returned by the
way of Philadelphia, where they
were joined by the Mrs. Daly.
There was only one thing to
mar their trip, and a sad story
—they were relieved, while in
Philadelphia, of their suit cases.
Every one begin to get your
duds together for Thanksgiving.
Out-of-town people have already
informed their friends to re-
serve their spare room. Already
we have heard many activities
are being planned which means
getting up early—going to bed
late or not at all, and a new
frock or a new suit for every
occasion. Get ready before the
gong sounds.

T was sitting in a darber’s
chair, Saturday night, getting a
muchly needed shingle, thinking
of nothing in particular, which
is a favorite pastime of mind,
when the door opened and in
walked a little shaver, tattered
and torn, who looked for all the
world like a bottle of fresh milk
was a foreign substance to him.
He saddled up to my chair after
making the rounds of the shop
and gingled his cup which con-
tained a few coins and looked at
me with his hungry eyes rather
expectingly. “Help the blind la-
dy,” he said in answer to. my
questioning look.
“But you're not blind, son-
ny,” I said, my first touch of
sympathy being numbed some-
what by my sensativeness about
being hoodwinked,
“No, it's me father outside
there,” he pointed through the
window, “he’s'lame too, and it's
hard for him to get around very
well.”
“I beg your pardon,” I said,
slipping him just enough to de-
prive myself of a manicure out
of that week's pay.
Geel I day dreamed late that
night in spite of the fact that
(the clock was striking 12 p. m.,
wouldn't it be a wonderful thing
if I had a nice big car, I mean
it really would, so I could gather
up all the little urchins and
blind folk and cripples and oth-
er unfortunates who are denied
the happiness that the rest of
us enjoy in a measure and take
them on a little jaunt in the
country where they could learn
that all of the world doesn’t con-
sist of crowded quarters, dirty
tenaments and the like,
But alack! and alas! my road-
ster, from present indications, is
so far in the distant future that
I fear the present generation

a will filed for probate here, Saturday.
Miss Johnson, who is about 23 years of age, has lived with the Andrews family since early childhood. She is the daughter of Mrs. Hester R. Johnson, a domestic in the Andrews home, who also shared in the estate.
Lived Life of Ease
Miss Johnson has for many years lived a life of luxury as one of the Andrews family, according to reports, having enjoyed trips abroad and the use of her own automobile. Her social relations, to a large degree, have been with white people although her racial identity is unmistakable.
The will has been filed in the office of the register of wills of Anne Arundel County. A house at 238 King George street and interest in other property are left to her. A one-third interest in the house at 224 King George street is left to Hester R. Johnson, mother of Charlotte.
The will was prepared December 14, 1927, apparently in Miss Andrews' own handwriting, and was witnessed by her sister, Miss Katharine D. Andrews, and Elizabeth Parkinson. In addition to Miss Katharine Andrews, another surviving sister of Miss Marzaret is

Does the hair of the head hold the secret of immortali-
ty? Does the soul of man have its habitat at the roots of the
hair? Are the religious sects that refuse to shear their
locks because they consider it sinful to do so, on the right
track? These questions and many others were asked by the
undertakers who disinterred the body of Mrs. Mattie Sales
recently and found that during the twelve years she had
been dead that her hair had grown nearly five feet in length
and spread out of the coffin which was partially decayed.
Mrs. Sales, who is the daughter
of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor
of the Mt, Carmel Baptist Church,
and president gf the Baptist Con-
vention of the District of Colum-
bia, succumbed in this city twelve
years ago, and was buried in Har-
mony Cemetery. Sometime ago,
according to information that has
recently heen divulgedy Dr. Harry
Sales, husband of the deceased, had
the Jarvis undertaking establish-
ment disinter the remains and re-
move them to the Lincoln Ceme-
tery, where he has purchased a lot.
‘The new lot is located directly be-
hind that of the late Judge Robert
E, Terrell,
Hair Had Grown
‘When the grave was opened the
casket was said to be decomposed
as was the body. Nothing re-
mained of the body but the skele-
ton, but the hair was a solid mass,
and apparently healthy and normal.
In rearranging the remains in a
new casket, the undertakers found
that the hair reached almost to
the feet of the dead woman,
Hair Lives Longest
Randolph Dabney, of the Ernest
Jarvis Undertaking establishment
which removed the body, said that
during his many years in the un-
dertaking business, he has seen in-
stances of hair growing after
death, but his colleagues had al-
ways made light of his contention.
Otten he has found that it was
necessary to shave a dead man
twice if he lay in state many days
before burial.
Hair Plays Important Part
‘The hair has, since the beginning
of the world, played an. important
part in the religious life of the
human race and the fact that the
hair continues to live many years
after the rest of the body has de-
cayed many add significance to the
belief that there is a sacredness
about this outgrowth of the body.
Much stress is fg on the
hair in the story of Sampson, and
the hair is linked with divinity in
the ee lore of many racex
The form of christening by
placing water on the head in the
Protestant churches is one of the
remaining practices.
Today the House of David is one
of the best known sects which re-
fuses to shave or cut the hair of
the head. The followers of King
Benjamin are figures of much curi-
osity as they travel about the
country. Some of the men of not
more than twenty-five years of age

Old as the World
The belief in immortality has al-
ways been one of the dominating
influences of humankind. Many
aspects of just what form life af-
ter death will take are advanced.
Some say that the body will be
transplanted while others believe
that only the soul of man is en-
titled to eternal life, Pindar, the
great lyric poet of ancient Greece
says in his “Triumphal Odes,” “Ry
a happy lot all persons travel to
an end free of toil. And the body,
indeed, is subject to the powerful
influence of death, but a shadow
of vitality is still left alive and this
alone is divine origin.” Can this

This they contend is a remainder
of the hair that once covered our
lower animal ancestors. Science
also proves that the Negroid peo-
ples are more inclined to hairless-
ness than are the whites and this
renders a powerful blow to the pre-
judiced belief that the Negro is
closest to the ape in the line of
decent. :
Bald Negro Fewest
From statistics gathered in
America there is also less baldness
among Negroes than among whites
between the ages of $1 and G1. It
is less frequent in mulattos than
in whites, but more than in the

PASTOR IS
GREETED
BY 1800
In his inaugural sermon at the
Metropolitan Baptist Church the
Rev. E. C. Smith, newly-elected
pastor, likened himself to Joshua
when he took the command of
the Children of Israel and called
the late Rev. W. D. Brown
“Moses,” who had been called by
death.
‘The pastor’s subject was “Let us
rise and go over this Jordan.” He
ssid that the congregation had
many Jordans to cross in order to
make a success of the church
‘Among these was the Jordan of
understanding. “The pastor and
people must learn to understan¢
each other,” he said, “because it is
impossible to dislike a person after
you understand him.”
“Understanding,” he said, “is the
brakes that God puts on people to
keep them from running away
from themselves with emotion.
‘When you get angry,” he declared
“that is a sign that you need brakes
and perfect understanding is the
restraining force.
“Some people don't like per
son, but 4 can't give any rea-
son why. The world doesn’t have
to have a case against you to dis
like you. They didn't have a case
against Jesus, but he was cruci-
Tn advising bis congregation, the
pastor said that it is not necessary
to go to Africa to find the heathen,
because heathens can be found
right here. “You might not know
anything about astronomy,” he
said, “but you can talk about the
Star of Bethlehem.”
‘Over 1,800 persons packed the
church to greet the new pastor.
Many were turned away before
eleven o'clock.
The pastor's wife and famil;
were in the congregation,

Convention, last week.
~ The Rev. E. M. Argyle of Knoxville Says Church
Has Been too Lenient and Trustful
WASHINGTON WOMAN
STIRS BAPTISTS AT
LOUISVILLE
The controyersy arising in the
A.M.E. Zion Church over the
hurried publication of the Gen-
eral Conference minutes by the
Bishop L. W. Kyles, is dingused
at length by the Rev. E. M. Ar-
gyle, of Knoxville, Tenn., in a
letter to the Star of Zion, the
official organ of the organization,
this week.
May Disrupt Conference
In part he says: “The attempt
to repudiate the General Confer-
ence minutes is an unpleasant mat-
ter thrusting itself upon the church,
and promises to precipitate a con-
dition of affairs that will ultimate-
ly culminate in disruption unless
certain damaging discrepancies are
cleared up.

[FORMER BISHOP TO AFRICA DIES FROM ATTACK BY, THUGS
“I am loathe to believe that a
prelate of the versatility and char-
acteristic stamina of the compiler
of these General Conference min-
‘utes would go so far out of the
ordinary role of fairness and jus-
tice as to discriminate in the pub-
lication of the daily records... ««
‘Trickery and Deception
“Have we gone from. bad to
worse? Have trickery and decep-
tion been so uppermost with those
in authority so long until it ‘has
become the shibboleth of success
with certain of our leaders? It
really Seems £0. ‘peste
Bishops Tyrants ai
“Qur opinion has been concurred
in by but few, and> there were
‘times that I had to stand out alone,
distrusted, misjudged, and under
the cloud of suspicion, but it was
not thé gift of prescience that pre-
sented me the vision of some things
that sre happening today. We
have as a church been so lenient
and trustful. We have allowed
certain of our leaders to do just as
they pleased. We never once
stopped long enough to notice that
no other Methodist body just threw
the reins of government over to its
Jeaders and told them to “drive
on.” We never stopped to think
that unbridled authority made ty-
rants and despots of some men.
We have discovered when it is al-
most. too late, that because of the
discrimnatory’ tactics and personal
animus allowed to clog the great
machinery of Zion, that unrest and
discontent are discernible in the
lower ranks of the ministry, and
that our laymen are waking up
and demanding a change.
‘Must Get Together
“We are all of: us targets for
the vituperative shafts, of the un-
godly. We come in for adverse
criticism on every hand, we make
people of other denominations say
mean things about us. We bite
and devour one another and the
church marks time while we wran-
gle. Let us lay aside our toma-
hawks, get together as the humble
followers of Him who said: “Lo, 1
am with you alway.’”

MINISTER’S HAND
MANGLED
Rey, William B. Marsh, pastor of
the Beulah Baptist Church, and an
employee of the Bureau of hick
ing and Printing, is at the Provi-
dence Hospital facing the proba
ble necessity of an amputation of
his right arm, as the result of in-
juries he received while at work,
Thursday.
Rev. Marsh lives at 2723 Sher-
man avenue, northwest. He works
at the Bureau as a skilled laborer.
It was while helping on one of the
huge presses in’ the trimming -di-
vision that Rev. Marsh had his
arm caught from shoulder to el-
bow, under a heavy press bed.
The cries of Rev. Marsh in his
anguish attracted a large number
of women workers, and many of
themseeing the mangled condition
of his arm, fainted,

Bishop Hartzell was a national
character. While secretary of the
Southern Education Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church he had
charge of 46 educational institu-
tions extending from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande. He held pas-
torates in Pekin and Evanston, Ill.,
New Orleans, and Cincinnati. He
was deeply interested in the de-
velopment of the Meharry medical
school in Nashville, Tenn., which
has graduated more than 3,000 Ne-

While in New Orleans he became
interested in the Negro and was a
member of the New Orleans Board
of Education and reorganized edu-
eational methods there. His inter-
est and activity in behalf of the
Negro grew, and in 1896 he was
appointed bishop for Africa.

A general opinion among spectators at the Open Swimming Meet,
held last Saturday at the New Francis Municipal Bathing Pool, was
that Allen Watty, coach of the Baltimore team which showed its wares
| before the local public, showed little judgment in agreeing to the de-
cision of the management to have second and third place points omit-
tet in the relay race, the final event of the day. The decision not to
Feepgnize the team to finish second in the relay in the point scoring,
actordig to the general belief, was reached by the toss of a coin.
This.is not so.
Another general belief was that Watty went out of his way to
show himself as a good “sport” in spite of the fact that his act in

An opinion that in a two-team race, the lowest a second place

, faisher; and that with these three points the swimmers from the Mon-
Ymental City would have been able to capture the team trophy, was

On-page 6 of Spalding’s Official Swimming Guide and Rule Book

further gtates that in all Intercollegiate competition where two tkams
tp involved as the only contestants in a race, points for scoring shall

Since it appears that the second place team in the relay race of
Jie, Saturday was to réceive no points, W. Montague Cobb, manager
of the Francis Pool and sponsor of the meet, appealed to Coach Watty
forhis decision as to the number of points to be awarded the winning
tean (whether the winner be allowed 6 points or 8 points). The
Balimore coach, informing Mr. Cobb that it made little or no differ-
énci to him since it was as fair for one as it was for the other, sug-
gestd that a coin be tossed to decide on which of the rules to be fol-
pay ‘The coin was tossed and the flip fell in favor of the 8-point
awaid.
By a study of these conditions it can be easily seen that Mr.
Watty neither showed poor judgment, allowed a rule to be violated
nor yroved himself ineapable when he agreed to the flip of a coin un-
dér the cotditions described here. Mr. Watty is a gentleman, a clean
sport. He yas in charge of a most praiseworthy group of swimmers

in their final inning of the league
leading Hillsdales, in a Tribune
League game, here last Sunday.
The score was 5-3.
On the short end of a 3-2 count
as they came to bat for their last
turn, the Athletics leaped on the
offerings of Lanky Lynn, Hillsdale
ace, and would not be subdued un-
til ‘their winning markers were
chalked.
The defeat was the first suffer-

Bessie Smith's Parents Objected to Her Jazz So She Took French Leave
By Jack Lytell
Twenty years ago a little fat, rolly bolly, brown skin girl, packed up her belongings and slipped away from her old ramshackle home in Chattanooga, Tenn. to join a show. Today she is one of the race's leading entertainers and a favorite recording artist. Her name is Bessie Smith and she played at the Howard Theatre last week.
She was only eleven years old then and her singing and dancing proclivities kept her in constant hot water with her eldryl and church-loving parents, who in those days thought that singing rattle and doing the turkey trot, or whatever they called shaking the hoof in those days, was a sure sign that one was headed for perdition. Bessie's father, to be exact, was inclined toward the ministry and conducted a small mission in Tennessee.
For two years Bessie, who was large for her age, traveled with tent shows, that were all the rage in the Southland then, even as they are today. Her singing made her a juvenile favorite and she became one of the stars of Ma Rainey's shows. Ma Rainey, mother (or
land then, even as they are today. Her singing made her a juvenile favorite and she became one of the stars of Ma Rainey's shows. Ma Rainey, mother (or is it grandmother?) of the blues was a pioneer among female entertainers and has probably started more present-day artists on their way to stardom than any other woman. Wins Fame in Atlanta
The years between are hazy even to Miss Smith herself but we pick up the threads of her career again when she made her appearance as a featured entertainer at the 81, and 91 Theatres at Atlanta, Ga., where she reigned supreme for two years. From there she went to New York just after the blues had been made a saleable commodity by Mamie Smith, and began canning her own tunes for the Columbia Phonograph Co. Weds Phila. Policeman Just like a dime novel reads the story of the star, whose name in private life is Mrs. Jack Gee, because into her life there came romance in the person of Gentleman Jack Gee, a six-foot, broadshouldered fellow, who was a member of Philadelphia's "finest." When he fell for the croonings of the blues singer he gave up his badge to become her manager as well as her husband.
During the four years that the combination has been intact they have played continually, carrying their own show, of twenty people and more, and their own scenery. Bessie has a brother who is an

"Gee!" exclaimed a rather squawny, chorus girl as she rushed out of the wings after finishing a fast dance number at the Howard Theatre Monday night. "Washington is sure a hard town to please, here we danced our heads off and we never got a whimper out of them."
"Hard town, kid," consoled another, "just a darn hard town to work that's all. It isn't your fault. The bunch that pulled out last week said the same thing."
"The late show will be better," volunteered a stage hand." They never respond very well at the supper show."
"Supper," laughed the girl almost in derision," That reminds me that I haven't had a bite to eat today, just a pint of milk, but gosh, you can't pay room rent and eat too. Give me a cigarette, kid, I've got a headache."
That in short is a peep at what goes on behind the scenes. That at a glance is the spirit of the theatre. Headache, or no headache, food or no food, the show must go on.
Girls, struggling sometimes alone, being tossed about unprotected, undernourished, sometimes actually sick of the life they are leading, yet all of this is hidden behind a perpetual-smile. The drabness of their lives is obscured by a vivaciousness that makes one think that theirs is a life of sunshine and bliss.
How hard they work to please you. All night, sometimes they are locked behind those doors while you are sleeping soundly, struggling to perfect intricate dance steps that they might help you to forget your cares, which are often less than theirs.
Part of their compensation is the little applause you give them. It comes to their ears like a pat on the shoulder that seems to say "That's right, kid, you're doing fine."
Sure they smoke, sometimes they drink, sometimes they do many other things that they shouldn't do, but that is no braids in your hair. Come on, fellows, loosen up—give the little girls a hand. Remember that old melodrama saying that was popular, about the man who could hiss the loudest was the greatest villian. Careful there, men, regardless of what she is, remember she's some mother's daughter."
In other words when you go to the theatre don't try to be so darn sophisticated that you can't clap your hands occasionally. You'll feel better yourself after a good hearty laugh and unrestrained applause. —J. L.

BIG MIDNIGHT RAMBLE FRIDAY NIGHT, 12:15
Natalie Kingston, Guide Trent, Henry Armetta, and Alberta Ragabati. "Street Angel" is a powerful story with an absorbing love theme made under the direction of Frank Borzage. In this production both director and critics feel that they have found not a successor to "Seventh Heaven," but a production of superior merit. The story is colorfully backgrounded against the decks and en-
virons of Naples. There are many fascinating color-splashed scenes of a small Neopolitan circus, which with the magnificent heart appeal of the story have brought to "Street Angel" not only the distinction of being the greatest picture ever seen, but the most wonderful portrayal of human life in itself. Deepest woe, that of Janet Gaynor in this moment from "Street Angel." To know the shame of

being forced to seek men on the street to keep body and soul together by selling her soul—the nethermost pit for a girl of such guiless charm, when she approaches callous men of the road side, the course brutes laugh at her; they cannot believe she offers them her spotless charm for a price. Her very innocence hinders her from plying the only trade left open to her.
Sunny days on the Mediterranean, a golden lover, looking out on the golden shores of Naples. Chas. Farrell smiles with all heaven in the rosy flush of first love, love for a winsome nymph with the circus, who is his inspiration as a painter. In the visions nestling in his dreamy eyes there is no place for the heart wringing woe that will make his outlook as blue as Italian skies.

18. Barthelmess plays a dual role in this great drama of two brothers, one a prosecuting attorney, the other a gangster, both ruined by an unfaithful woman's wiles. Both loved this woman and one wanted to kill her—the other did. And then they meet in the courtroom—brother against brother and unknown to each other. The story opens in Russia, and one of the great scenes of the picture is hundreds of horsemen swooping through a little Russia town, leaving fire and destruction in their wake. What drama!

Al Wells Says Negro Tumblers Must Pass for Indians or Cubans to Get Employment
STARTED WITH CIRCUS
Picked Up by "Twenty Wagon Show" in 1893, Traveled Ever Since
By Jack Lytell
Because there are so few novelty acts being presented by Negroes on the American stage, the few that are engaged in this form of presentations are forced to pass for every nationality under the sun in order to get bookings. Al Wells, noted trapeze artist, declared back stage at the Howard Theatre, last week.
Wells says he has been forced to masquerade as an Indian, Japanese, Cuban or as a member of some other darker race in order to play the white circuits, due to the existing prejudice against Negro performers doing anything but singing or dancing, or blackface acts.
---
Started with Circus
Wells, who is native of Wheeling, W. Va., started his gymnastic career with the Rich Brothers' Circus in 1893 when the show, which was a twenty-wagon aggregation, wintered near his home. The Rich Brothers' took an interest in him and gave him a chance to learn many tricks that have helped to earn him his living ever since. Wells claims that he still has the call of the road in his veins and prefers the circus to vaudeville, but does not follow them because his wife does not like the cars.

Married 22 Years
Wells has been married for 22 years, having met his wife, who works with him in his act, in Detroit, Mich. They were married for eight years before she started to learn the profession. He was driven to teach her, he said, because male partners were unreliable and few youngsters were willing to put time into learning the game.
The ironical note of his wife's life was that she fell 40 feet while performing on a trapeze in the South and never got a scratch, but she received a broken arm when she slipped on a staircase in her home. This does not prevent her from being one of the strongest women appearing on the stage today, however, and she is able to handle her husband's weight with ease.
Just Like Dance Steps
"Every tumble, turn and trick of the acrobat is named just like the various dance steps." Wells said, "this enables strange performers to work in perfect accord on a moment's notice. We merely name the tricks that we are to perform and the act is organized." Wells is 48 years of age. He keeps himself in trim not by working in a gymnasium as one would suppose, but by "just piddling around the house," he says. He played here in Irvin C. Miller's "Harlem Harry." There are but thirty-two colored novelty acts working in America today.

BROADWAY BOOKS EMIL JANNINGS AND "MAD HOUR"
For Sunday and Monday, that great master of the silent art, Emil Jannings, will be seen in his latest picture, "The Street of Sin." It's a drama of East Limehouse, London's rapidly disappearing slum, and it will hold you spell-bound until the last scene. Fay Wray and Olga Baklanova are in the supporting cast. Tuesday only, "The Little Yellow House," with Orville Caldwell and Martha Sleeper will be shown. It is a mighty drama with a story that will live while pictures are remembered—a drama that has for its theme the very soul of homes throughout the world.
Wednesday and Thursday, Elinor Glyn's "Mad Hour," with the following great cast: Sally O'Neil, Alice White, Lowell Sherman, Larry Kent, Norman Trevor, Tully Marshall, Margaret Livingston and Kate Price will be the feature. Society pointed its finger and cried "Guilty." Never more startling realism—never more dramatic denouncement—never a more astonishing story from the pen of America's greatest love story writer. On Friday and Saturday, another of those double feature programs which Manager Pinchback has made so popular appears at the Broadway. The first one will be Ranger, the dog, in a thrilling story of the great Northwest, and the other will be that ever popular star, Richard Dix, in one of his late pictures called "Easy Come, Easy Go."
Next week will be known as "Home Coming Week" and the following pictures will be shown: "South Sea Love," "The Son of the Sheik," "The Drag Net" and "The Cat and the Canary."

CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE TO WRITE OPERA IN HAITI
Clarence Cameron White, director of music at the West Virginia Institute, is in Haiti where he is gathering material for an opera which he plans to write depicting the struggles of that country. He describes the country as being very beautiful and rich in material for the development of a great musical drama of symphony. Mr. White, accompanied by Prof. Matheus and his son, sailed for Haiti on August 7. Mr. White will also give a recital for the benefit of the Jean Joseph School. Mr. White has been regarded as one of the foremost composers in America. His compositions are widely used throughout the country.
WANAMAKER OFFERS PRIZES
An announcement has been made of the offer of $1,000 in prizes by Rodman Wanamaker of
"Wheels of Chance" at the Republic
Philadelphia exclusively to Negro composers. The twenty-five prizes, divided into five classifications range from a first prize of one hundred dollars in each classification downward to ten dollars as the smallest prize in each group. The offer is being made through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, composed of the colored employees of the John Wanamaker Store of Philadelphia in co-operation with the National Association of Negro Musicians.
HOWARD THEATRE
The offering at the Howard Theatre next week beginning Monday, September 17, will be "Syncopated Sue", a real musical bomb shell. "Syncopated Sue" is without doubt one of the best musical shows out of New York, this season.
It has more specialties, humor and novelty than is generally found in a dozen of the so-called musical shows.
The music is more pleasing and catchy than ever. The ensemble both in volume, voice, and appearance are far above the average. The scenery and costumes are a revelation of magnificence.

ous costumes, such excellent singing voices, and a well balanced cast "Syncopated Sue" could be nothing, if not a top notcher. "Syncopated Sue," the mirth provoking, is one long scream from beginning to end. On the screen you will see beginning Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, "Buck Privates" a post-war comedy—its action unfolding in Inxemburg, where American troops in passing through, were billeted in a small town. The love theme that is presented is one of unusual interest. This is the first time Miss DePutti has taken an ingene part; she is exceptionally good. Malcolm McGregor is a perfect hero. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the feature picture is "Mademoiselle from Armentaires." John Stuart and Estelle Brody are the stars. This new film is the gaumont British war epic hailed in Europe as an English "Big Parade."
Big midnight ramble every Friday night at 12:15. Opportunity night every Wednesday night at 9:30.

Chenault, for the past score of years one of the most popular colored dramatic stars, fell to the floor in a state of complete collapse. Mr. Chenault's friends immediately summoned a doctor, who declared that the veteran actor needed a rest, and after taking him to his room, declared that Mr. Chenault would be unable to carry on for nearly a year.
It is said that the sudden death recently of Johnnie Woods, noted ventilroquist, who had roomed for years with Mr. Chenault, had much to do with the stricken actor's poor health. Worry over the loss of his constant friend, companion and co-worker is said to have undermined Mr. Chenault's vitality.
Black and White Circle Begins Dance Season

JAZZ ORIGINATED IN CONGO SQUARE, NEW ORLEANS, CLAIM
The controversy as to the beginning of jazz music has been entered by Carl Sandburg, well-known writer, poet and contributor to newspapers, when he recently wrote an article in the Chicago Daily News on the origin of the music. The writer said: "If we go back 80 or 90 years to the slave life in Congo square, New Orleans, we may have a glimpse of one of the beginnings of jazz music. Contributions to the origin of jazz are many, yet one of the leading motifs came out of life in its ecstatic moments. "Edward Larocque Tinker in 'Toucoutot' sketches a pre-jazz age

orchestra in Congo square as follows, 'An old Santo Dominican sat astride a section of a large hollowed tree and beat with the palm of his hand and then his fingers upon the stretched skin. He produced a splendid savage rhythm. Beside him sat a younger man who beat a staccato counter rhythm on a very much smaller drum. A tin whistle, an accordion and a fiddle were played by three other men, still another rattled a gourd that had been partly filled with pebbles or grains of hard corn.
"One tooted a wooden trumpet, shaped like the horn of a cow, but the strangest instrument of them all was half the jawbone of a mule with all its teeth staring from their sockets, which a little, bow-legged, wide-grinned Congo held in one hand while he scraped an enormous brass key up and down the teeth with the other, making a sound reminiscent of the wooden rattle of the Spanish 'serenos.'"
