"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. --- The report also states: Stenog.

ON CHECK CHARGE News Service Manager Goes to Pen for Passing Bad Checks Charles Lucien Skinner, manager of the Crispus Attucks News Service, and head of the Crispus Attucks Newsreel Co., was sentenced to serve six months on four counts of violation of the bad check law of the District, by Judge Robert E. Mattingly, in Police Court, Wednesday. 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. VANN IN CITY Robert L. Vann, publicity director of the Republican colored voters' division, spent last Friday and Saturday in Washington in conference with Republican party leaders and the directors of the Republican campaign among colored voters. He was at the headquarters in the Barr Building. DOES KIDNAP MOTHER COOLIDGE GETS PROTEST All that money says to some folks is "goodbye," they claim, but when your nickel says "farewell" when you hand it to your newsdealer for a TRIBUNE you get so much value for five cents that the parting is a pleasure. KII COOL 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. All that money says to some for bye," they claim, but when your nickle well" when you hand it to your new TRIBUNE you get so much value if that the parting is a pleasure. 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.

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. MONEY BACK AT POST Mrs. Ora W.

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. HENRY C. BROOKS DEAD Henry C. Brooks died at his home, 162 Bryant street, northwest last Saturday evening. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie E. Brooks; two son, John and Henry Brooks, and five daughters, Mrs. Rosa Jennings, Mrs. Lillian Brent, Mrs. Eiffel Gaskins, Mrs. Adele Moon and Mrs. Sadie Dobson. MISS CHASE GETS PRINCIPALSHIP OF GARFIELD Succeeds Abram L. Smith Who Was Retired. Wilkinson Eulogize Dr. Montgomery The Board of Education at its meeting at the Franklin School building last Wednesday afternoon approved the recommendation of Garnet C. Willindon, first assistant superintendent of schools, for the promotion of Miss Valerie E. Chase to the principalship of the Garfield School. She was a supplementary teacher in the Bruce School. She succeeds Abraham L. Smith, who has been retired. Miss Lydia Brown, who has bee the acting head of the department of business practice at the Dunbar High School since September 21, 1927, was demoted to a teaching position without prejudice. She will teach in the Cardozo business high school. 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."

TALK? ```markdown ``` CAPITAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS 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. CITIZENS SEEK POST OFFICE BRANCH ON U STREET Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Dr. Joseph E. Trigg, and William Weaver form a committee to represent the Colored Business Men's League, for the purpose of petitioning for the establishment of a branch post office near Ninth and U streets, northwest. The petition suggests the Prudential Bank building, Florida avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, as the most preferable location. It has been unanimously indorsed by the members of the organization. DR. AND MRS. D. A. LANE IN AUTO WRECK Dr. and Mrs. David A. Lane, 726 Eighth street, northeast, and their son, Dr. Willard Lane, of Freedmen's Hospital staff, who were in an automobile accident, at Bladensburg and Queen's Chapel Roads, northeast, last Friday, as a result of which the parents sustained minor injuries, are in the stage of complete recovery. CURRENT TOPICS Liberal Progressive Independent 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, guard cases, friends—must sacrifice their children an education future?

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?

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?

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 14. 1928 SASSAFRAS SUDDS EZ 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.) PAGE 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. KIDDIES' KORNER C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK'S PUZZLES Cut Ups: Three sizes. 100 halves; 50 one-thirds; 50-two thirds. Workme: 1.

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- --- H e l p c A m p r o M p j u m P m a T e s O o n N o t e By Lorraine Briggs (15) 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. NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA PENNINGTON, J. W.

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.

TWO 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.

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.

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.

And at the same time it banishes gloss and shine for hours—conceals freckles and blemishes—holds powder almost all day long—heals and soothes skin irritations! Beauty specialists say that never before has there been a skin whitener like this. It is not a bleach and contains no harmful chemicals. It is merely a new type of creme which is just rubbed into the skin like vanishing cream. Instantly the appearance of the skin is lightened! Immediately all shine and gloss vanish—often for 24 hours. Used on hands, neck and arms it makes them white and smooth. Men find it wonderful for after shaving. They say it removes gloss and shine and gives that creamy ivory tone so valuable in business and social life. This new discovery is called Fan Tan Creme.

Splash! Splash! Splash! High dives, low dives, swan dives with all sorts of thrills were furnished by the Washington participants and some from Balti-Society Folk at Francis Pool more and other points, as did the non-participants, who like the rest of us, crowded the ample grandstand. Washingtonians were just too numerous to mention and for fear of missing some ultra important personage, who would never forgive me for my oversight. I shall leave the homefolks alone and just tell about our guests. There were Professor William H. Anderson, principal of Baltimore's new junior high school, the name of which I cannot recall, and his wife and lovely daughter, Miss Hilda Anderson, who is an instructor in the Douglass high school. Mr. and Mrs. William Gibson, the male of the species being the sports editor of the Afro-American, and his better half the cashier and bookkeeper of the New Provident Hospital. Miss Marie Spriggs and Mrs. Beatrice Thompson - Bowers, members of the school system. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Watty, the former a swimming instructor at the Park Pool, and a host of youngsters who will have to overlook my negligence in failing to remember their names. Thurston Has New Cafeteria Those Sunday night suppers you're planning for the winter will probably be all the more enjoyable in Thurston's new cafeteria, which I hear will be open for business in a short while. Haven't seen it yet? Say it's a dream. If you don't have to pay too much for the scenery, I may take an occasional meal there myself. Pretty Wedding Among other notes of interest is the marriage of Ruth Edna McIntyre to Walter Houston Craig, which took place last Wednesday at the St. Lukes Episcopal rectory. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, of 2323 S street, northwest. Rev. Thomas J. Brown, using the single ring service, performed the ceremony which was witnessed by the immediate relatives of the bridal couple. The bride was gowned in white taffetta and black picture hat and wore a corsage of pink roses. She was attended by Miss Shelly Mitchell, who was gowned in red crepe and wore a black picture hat, and carried a corsage of pale yellow roses. Mr. Frederick Roane was the best man. Immediately after the ceremony a dinner was given for the bridal party at Mr. Craig's residence in Potomac Park. Although the bride's parents were unable to be present they sent their heartiest congratulations by wire. The bride and groom have and are receiving congratulations enumerable from their host of friends and relatives. They will be at home, 2323 E street, northwest, September 16. Schools to Open 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 back to the city regretfully, to take up their various duties. Never you mind, in a month or so the city will be alive. Howard University will be open, the Fraternity houses will be crowded, social clubs will be in full swing, dances will begin and the town will be alive along every avenue of pleasure. Many Return to City Every one returning reports a good time. Miss Ruth Cornell, Mrs. Agnes Williams, Mr. Henry Ellis and Mr. Eugene Smith after a wonderful motor trip to Atlantic City, and New York, returned by way of New Brunswick, N.J., and Princeton, N.J., and were entertained by the popular Dr. and Mrs. Gaylord Howell. Of course every one who knows this couple socially will 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 bang-up 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 reserve 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. IHEAR THAT- by KITTY Dr. Guy O. Saulsberry, of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., spent Sunday and Monday in the city.

He saddled up to my chair after making the rounds of the shop and gingered his cup which contained a few coins and looked at me with his hungry eyes rather expectingly. "Help the blind lady," he said in answer to my questioning look. "But you're not blind, sony," I said, my first touch of sympathy being numbed somewhat by my sensitiveness 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 deprive myself of a manicure out of that week's pay. Gee! 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 other 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 consist of crowded quarters, dirty tenements and the like. But alack! and alas! my roadster, from present indications, is so far in the distant future that I fear the present generation will be shooting past me in cars of their own before I can plank down my first payment. But you who have cars, you upon whom dame fortune has smiled, you who have no kiddies of your own, what is wrong with dropping a little waif in that big empty seat in the rear when you go for a spin? He'll be ever so quiet, won't annoy you in the least. Just let him have the ride. It won't take a drop more gas, but you'll get more happiness to the gallon.

What the Undertakers Found on Opening the Grave, Revealed Hair of Woman Dead 12 Years Grew 5 Feet UNDERTAKERS DIVIUE PHENOMENAL DISCOVERY THEY MADE WHEN THEY DISINTERED PASTOR'S DAUGHTER DOES THE HAIR HOLD THE SECRET OF IMMORALITY? IS IT A SIN TO SHAVE THE LOCKS? - By Rean Graves Does the hair of the head hold the secret of immortality? 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. Does the hair of the head ity? Does the soul of man have hair? Are the religious sects locks because they consider it track? These questions and m undertakers who disinterred the recently and found that durin been dead that her hair had gr and spread out of the coffin w Mrs. Sales, who is the daughter of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, and president of the Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia, succumbed in this city twelve years ago, and was buried in Harmony Cemetery. Sometime ago, according to information that has recently been divulged, Dr. Harry Sales, husband of the deceased, had the Jarvis undertaking establishment disinter the remains and remove them to the Lincoln Cemetery, where he has purchased a lot. The new lot is located directly behind that of the late Judge Robert E. Terrell. When the grave was opened the casket was said to be decomposed as was the body. Nothing remained of the body but the skeleton, 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 undertaking business, he has seen instances of hair growing after death, but his colleagues had always made light of his contention. Often 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 decayed many add significance to the belief that there is a sacredness about this outgrowth of the body. Much stress is placed on the hair in the story of Sampson, and the hair is linked with divinity in the religious lore of many races. The modern 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 refuses to shave or cut the hair of the head. The followers of King Benjamin are figures of much curiosity as they travel about the country. Some of the men of not more than twenty-five years of age possess flowing beards and long hair. Old as the World The belief in immortality has always been one of the dominating influences of humankind. Many aspects of just what form life after death will take are advanced. Some say that the body will be transplanted while others believe that only the soul of man is entitled to eternal life. Pindar, the great lyric poet of ancient Greece says in his "Triumphal Odes," "By 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 shadow of vitality of which the poet sang hundreds of years ago lie in the hair and is the hair then of divine origin as some people would have us believe? Surely the discovery of the local undertakers is an argument in this behalf. Hair and Evolution The hair that covers the body furnishes the scientists a strong argument in favor of evolution. Hair Had Grown Hair Lives Longest Old as the World This they contend is a remainder of the hair that once covered our lower animal ancestors. Science also proves that the Negroid peoples are more inclined to hairlessness than are the whites and this renders a powerful blow to the prejudiced belief that the Negro is closest to the ape in the line of decent. From statistics gathered in America there is also less baldness among Negroes than among whites between the ages of 31 and 51. It is less frequent in mulattos than in whites, but more than in the darker members of the race.

The body had been apparently struck by a train but later developments led authorities to believe that Neal had been murdered and his body placed on the tracks to cover the crime. Residents near the scene told policemen that they heard shots shortly before the body was discovered. At the time of his death Neal was being sought by the police for an assault upon his wife.

E. C. Smith Rev. Norman is Likened to Moses Who Has Been Called by God In his inaugural sermon at the Metropolitan Baptist Church the Rev. E. C. Smith, newly-elected pastor, likened hfmself 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 said 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 understand 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 a person, but they can't give any reason why. The world doesn't have to have a case against you to dislike you. They didn't have a case against Jesus, but he was crucified?" In advising his congregation, the pastor said that it is not necessary to go to Africa to find the heaten, 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 family were in the congregation. DR.

(Saturday), is the day that the acting ham and beans—at their 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 decision of the management to have second and third place points omitted in the relay race, the final event of the day. The decision not to recognize the team to finish second in the relay in the point scoring, according 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 agreeing to the toss, as well as the actual tossing of the coin, was an reexcusable violation of the rules of the sport. That he failed in his obligation to his charges as their coach, and thus also proved himself "dub" as an official was still another general belief. These are not so. An opinion that in a two-team race, the lowest a second place winner could get would be three points as against five for the first iniser, and that with these three points the swimmers from the Monumental City would have been able to capture the team trophy, was also going the rounds as the contests came to a close. This is not so. On page 6 of Spalding's Official Swimming Guide and Rule Book for 1928, will be found the solution of the problem, which in reality is the clearing up of all of these befuddled opinions and beliefs. Rule 5; Section 1 states that in all dual meets points for team races will count as follows: First place—6 points; Second place—0. The rule further states that in all Intercollegiate competition where two teams are involved as the only contestants in a race, points for scoring shall be registered as follows: First place—8 points; Second place—0. Since it appears that the second place team in the relay race of las Saturday was to receive no points, W. Montague Cobb, manager of the Francis Pool and sponsor of the meet, appealed to Coach Watty for his decision as to the number of points to be awarded the winning tean (whether the winner be allowed 6 points or 8 points). The Baltimore coach, informing Mr. Cobb that it made little or no difference to him since it was as fair for one as it was for the other, suggested that a coin be tossed to decide on which of the rules to be followed. The coin was tossed and the flip fell in favor of the 8-point awail. 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 proved himself incapable when he agreed to the flip of a coin under the conditions described here. Mr. Watty is a gentleman, a clean sport. He was in charge of a most praiseworthy group of swimmers who were efeated only because the Washington aggregation consisted of mre who were equally as capable as those from the Oyster City. * * * * * Let's take a jump—this time on our local golfers. Washirton, D.C.—believe it or not—is the proud possessor of at least tw welders of the mashie and iron who could, under normal or ordinary conditions, outclass any Negro in the country when it comes to traversig 18-hole courses behind an ivory-colored ball. But—under normalconditions. At on time these men could summon such accuracy with any club in th average golfer's bag as to be able to hit a ball to within a radius $l$ from 10 to 20 yards of an object—this from a distance of nearly 20 yards and with appreciable regularity. But that was then. Now just as the game has begun to wend its way into the fore as one of the race's most prominent sport activities, these stars fail the Capitol which bids them bon voyage as they embark for National events. They are unable (although they do well) to "bring home the bacon" a the boys observe. The reason for their decline in prominence can be attributed to nothing other than their lack of condition. The men are stars in every sense of the word in so far as golf is concerned, but the fact that they pay absolutely no heed to the physical demand that they be "in shape" is the margin of difference between them and those by whom they are defeated. These men know who they are. Those acquainted with the local golfing personnel should know. The others will need to guess for themselves. A hint, however, should help all. Tomorrow (Saturday), is the day that the aspirants for the 1928 Bison team start eating ham and beans—at their own expense. CLUB STANDING Class A Team W. L. Pct.

"RED LIGHTS" LEAGUE LEADERS TENLEYTOWN, D. G. — Staging a "garrison finish," the Arlington Athletics counted 3 runs 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 until their winning markers were chalked. The defeat was the first suffered by the Hillsdales in their last 14 starts. Not since the Columbia Cubs surprised them with a 5-2 licking at Brookladn, June 24, had the Greensmen been stumped.** COLEMAN LEADS BUCS TO WIN OVER GIANTS MONUMENT 8—Led by Jazz Coleman, the ever-dangerous Washington Pirate outfit scored over the crack Potomac Giant baseball team, here last Sunday before a large gathering of Tribune League fans. The score was 13-4. With 5 hits, two of them doubles, in 5 trips platterward, the big Pirate third baseman led his mates on a relentless rampage against two "Foggy Bottom" hurlers.

SPORT Wallace Stars as Capital Natators Outclass Orioles Local Boy Captures High Point Honors with Thrilling Feats Before Audience Which Crowds Francis Pool to Capacity Swimmers of the National capital finished on top in the first annual open swimming meet, held at the New Francis Municipal Bathing Pool, Twenty-fifth and N streets, northwest, last Saturday. Final and complete scores were: Washington, 66; Baltimore, 50. ond, Gant (Washington); third, Burke (Baltimore). Time, 42:21. Springboard Diving—won by Brown (Baltimore); second, Gant (Washington); third, Milton (Washington). Plunge for Distance—won by Gant (Washington); second, Milton (Washington). A crowd of nearly 1500 spectators jammed the inner confines and lined the outside of the fences of the immense plant and watched a host of the leading natators in this section of the east vie for honors. Men, women and children of every walk, station and creed rubbed elbows as the meet, one of the most interesting ever held in this city, progressed with enthusiastic competition. Wilbur Wallace, star all-round athlete of the Armstrong Technical High School, was the individual star of the carnival. In addition to winning the 100-yard and 220-yard free-style dashes, Wallace coped second place in the 50-yard breast stroke race, and finished third in the 50-yard free-style swim. Miss Anita H. Gant, with 11 points captured individual honors among the fair contestants, while a youthful Baltimore, Mallory by name, garnered most points in the boys' events. With a midsummer sun throwing relentless rays down on a heedless gallery, upward of 60 mermen, merbows and mermaids strove valently to exhibit a superiority over one another. As each of the contestants emerged from the water after the various events, evidence of almost complete exhaustion accompanied their acknowledgements of applause. As the various times for the events are the first to be established at the Francis Pool, they will be hung up to be shot at by prospective record breakers in future meets. The nearest approach to National Intercollegiate record time was recorded by DuBois Jones, winner of the 50-yard freestyle. His time was 27 and 6-10 seconds. The achievement of Wallace in piling up points enough to capture individual honors is especially noteworthy. The Armstrong lad was compelled to do more actual competing than any other participant. Wallace swam a heat before entering the finals in either the 50 or 100 yard dashes, swam in the 220-yard dash and the breast stroke, then called it a day by stroking as third man in the gruelling relay race, the final In the women's events, Miss Gant and Miss Louise (Babylon) Jefferson, of the Washington strokers, and Miss Brown, of the Baltimore team, stood out. The former was second in the 50-yard freestyle race, was second in the dives and first in the plunge for distance. Miss Jefferson, who finished second best in the race for individual honors, was nosed out because of her inability to compete in the diving contests. The Monumental City girl easily outshone all other participants in the springboard diving. Point Scoring Washington Men, 42; Baltimore men, 29. Washington boys, 3; Baltimore boys, 15.

The score was 9-2. Two unearned runs robbed the lean Anacottian of a perfect game. Errors played a big part in the scoring of the runs which kept Stewart from being able to boast of a no-hit no-run achievement. In the first inning Brooks, Arlington first sacker, got a life on an error by Ball., stole second and counted when Dale threw wild to first on Davis' hot smash down the line. A base on balls, issued to W. Pollard, was turned into the second Arlington run. The Virginian stole second, went to third on Ball's over throw, and then scored as.

JOSEPH NINE BOWS BEFORE BLACK SOX The Washington Black Sox, leading semi-professional organization of Washington, added two more victories to their long and growing list, by defeating the crack St. Joseph's nine (white), in a double header, at Union League Park last Sunday. The scores were 2-1 and 9-0. Gil Bland and Jimmie Williams were the winning fingers. Bland, though figuring in a pitcher's battle, was never in danger, and Williams, pitching superb ball, blanked the hard hitting St. Joes. The white boys found the huge Williams' delivery so puzzling that they were unable to connect for more than two puny base hits. ** who recovered the ball, threw wild to third. Stewart fanned twelve of the Ar- lington batters, issued two walks, gave two bases on hit batters, and then in addition added two hits to the offensive cause of his team. r Way UP IN THE AETHER OUTSIDE AT NOW!

Young Shippen Forced to Withdraw with Injured Foot Washington golfers, though failing to place first in any of the classes, played a big role in the Third Annual Open and Amateur Golf Championships held at Stow, Massachusetts, last week. Besides Beltran Barker, who finished second best in the chase for the amateur title with Frank Gaskin, of Philadelphia, Harry Jackson, John M. Shippen, Tommie Edwards and George Adams, all of this city, were recipients of prizes Jackson, formerly National Negro Golf champion, finished in third place among the professionals. His medal score of 294 was 4 strokes behind John Ball, Chicago, 1927 title-holder who finished second, and 8 strokes behind Porter Washington, professional at the Mapledale Country Club, on whose course the tournament was held. Though Jackson experienced much difficulty in his first two 1 rounds of meda play, he startled the large gallery on hand by negotiating his final eighteen holes in 67, one stroke over par. This sensational final round put him one stroke in front of Shippen, National Capitol Country Club professional, who played 72 holes of steady golf. Edwards was runner-up in the second sixteen. Dr. Adams took second place in the Consolation Round for the defeated eight of the first sixteen. Jack Shippen, flashy young son of the local professional, was forced out of championship play with an infected foot. Prior to his withdrawal, Shippen had been conceded a good chance to cop some of the prize money. Houses for rent, and for sale.

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 Bessie has a brother who is an entertainer in Philadelphia . THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 14. 1928 HANDSOME GAMBLER GREATEST OF ALL UNDERWORLD PICTURES Better Than 'THE DRAGNET' Starts SATURDAY September 22 — at the — REPUBLIC YOU ST. NEAR 14th "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. HOWARD THEATRE SEVENTH STREET at T.

"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 PRETTY "STREET ANGEL" A Miss Janet Gaynor, one of the most beautiful of the younger screen stars who attains her greatest success in "Street Angel," which graces the celuloid at the Lincoln Theatre next week. 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.

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!

OPENINGS FEW FOR ACROBAT OPENINGS FEW FOR ACROBAT 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. 4. 人 5. 空 6. 空 7. 空 8. 空 9. 空 10. 空 11. 空 12. 空 13. 空 14. 空 15. 空 16. 空 17. 空 18. 空 19. 空 20. 空 21. 空 22. 空 23. 空 24. 空 25. 空 26. 空 27. 空 28. 空 29. 空 30. 空 31. 空 32. 空 33. 空 34. 空 35. 空 36. 空 37. 空 38. 空 39. 空 40. 空 41. 空 42. 空 43. 空 44. 空 45. 空 46. 空 47. 空 48. 空 49. 空 50. 空 51. 空 52. 空 53. 空 54. 空 55. 空 56. 空 57. 空 58. 空 59. 空 60. 空 61. 空 62. 空 63. 空 64. 空 65. 空 66. 空 67. 空 68. 空 69. 空 70. 空 71. 空 72. 空 73. 空 74. 空 75. 空 76. 空 77. 空 78. 空 79. 空 80. 空 81. 空 82. 空 83. 空 84. 空 85. 空 86. 空 87. 空 88. 空 89. 空 90. 空 91. 空 92. 空 93. 空 94. 空 95. 空 96. 空 97. 空 98. 空 99. 空 100. 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. WORK SCARCE THE WEEKLY NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Al Wells; the only Negro artists performing on the trapeze in vaudeville, who say that there are few openings for Negro novelty yattractions here because of prejudice. 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." Dixie Singers Make Plans NEW YORK—The Dixie Jubilee Singers, under the direction of Miss Eva Jessye, are rehearsing for their fall season. The singers are well known in New York, and have sung with remarkable success. They plan to have a rather busy season, and will offer many new songs this year.

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.

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.

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 Simply Delicious!
