Slander Suit is Won by Aged A.M.E. Bishop

CAPITOL
The Prince of Wales appeared on a golf course in Mombasa, British East Africa, wearing two hats and a pink shirt.
Africans immediately adopted the fad of the Prince. Negroes in Africa and Negroes in America are quick to immitate the white man in everything he does of no consequence.
The vital things such as business, industry, manufacturing and high finance they leave rigidly alone. Negroes fall for pink shirts.
Along this same line the Kansas City Call says, "White folks send their sons to college where they get drunk and raise h'll, so do the Negroes.
"White folks go to Europe on pleasure trips, so do Negroes. White folks have divorce scandals and wild parties, so do Negroes. But here the similarity ends."
The things enumerated above are pink shirts.
By simply moving the home offices of the Southern Railway from Washington to Atlanta, Ga., 1,100 clerks and other office employees representing approximately as many families were uprooted from their homes and transplanted in the South.
For ten years Marcus Garvey talked about a back to Africa movement without success. The employees of the Southern Railroad went without a murmur because Atlanta offered constant employment and a livelihood. Mr. Garvey had nothing to offer in Africa, to make it inviting.
Mr. Garvey appearing in London, England last week, declared that the Negro's place is in Africa, not America.
The gentleman from Jamaica is too idealistic. The Negro's place, like that of any other man, is where he can make an honest living and enjoy some degree of happiness. The American Negro would be most uncomfortably out of place in Africa.
Several white and colored ministers spoke on a program at Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday.
This was lauded as a step forward in solving the race problem. It positively was not.
The race problem will never be solved by white ministers talking about racial good will to colored audiences, but by white ministers talking about racial good will to white audiences, and doing it constantly and fearlessly.
The Negro is the recipient of race hatred, not the donor.
The Commerce Department states that there were in the United States in 1926, 213 religious bodies with 231,983 organizations and 54,624,976 members, as compared with 200 denominations reporting 226,718 organizations and 41,926,854 members in 1916.
With 54,624,976 people engaged in the service of the Lord in America there ought to be a lot more goodness being scattered around. Evidently somebody is loafing on the job. Heaven should hire an efficiency expert and fire half of its employees. Apparently the output of righteousness is too small to maintain such a large force.
POSTPONE UNION BANK HEARING
The suit brought by depositors against trustees and shareholders of the defunct Union Laborers Savings Bank was continued Wednesday by Justice Peyton Gordon in equity court No. 2 for thirty days on account of the illness of William H. H. Hart, leading defense counsel. Mr. Hart was taken suddenly ill last Friday and is in Freedmen's Hospital.
The question that will be presented when the case is heard is whether the sum of $44,156.85 is to be collected from the defendant trustees and shareholders. This sum was fixed as the amount of liabilities in an auditor's report which was ratified by the court September 27.
NEGROES FORCED TO WORK IN FLORIDA
WEST PALM BEACH (C.N.S.)—A repetition of the crimes against Negro refugees which featured the Red Cross activity in the Mississippi flood is expected in the Florida devastated district following a call for the military on the part of Red Cross and state officials. The excuse offered for this action is an alleged rioting of Negro refugees in the devastated towns. The troops are intended to terrorize the starving Negro workers and to enlist them for free labor in the work of rebuilding up the destroyed towns.

A.M.E. BISHOP VINDICATED IN LIBEL
Editor of "New Era" Fails to Prove Charges of Moral Turpitude Against Prelate
RAPPED BY COURT
(Special to The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE)
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.—In one of the most scathing denunciations ever heard in a court of Quarter Sessions in this city, Judge James Gay Gordon, Jr., admonished Charles V. Monk, unfrocked clergyman of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, not to "open your evil mouth against anybody in the future" at the conclusion of a speedy trial during which the aged prelate, Bishop William H. Heard, formerly of this area, but recently transferred to the Ohio area, was "vindicated to the hilt" of all charges dropped on his ecclesiastical doorstep by Monk, the editor of the New Era, a denominational publication published at 8719 Laycock avenue, Elmwood, Pa.
The libellous articles were published within the period between January, 1926, and March, 1927. Most of them accused the prelate of misappropriation of church monies, while a few frankly charged the clergyman with moral turpitude.
Monk, who lives at 1004 Summit avenue, Darby, has been tried for publication of libellous articles before this case, and in one case he was sentenced to serve six months. Bishop Heard has been a bishop for twenty-one years in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Monk was given a suspended sentence when he declared that He had learned his lesson.

A BISHOP EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS
AKRON, O.—The Rt. Rev. George C. Clement, one of the most influential Bishops of the A.M.E. Zion Church, in giving his reasons for supporting Alfred E. Smith for President says:
"First, I regard him as the ablest executive now in American public life, honest, fair and magnetic; second, I believe in religious tolerance, oppose bigotry whether creed or race; third, although favoring prohibition, I am convinced that Gov. Smith could not be more favorable to liquor interests than the present administration has proven; fourth, the time is here when the Negro must divide his vote or else hazard his citizenship; fifth, Hefin and the Ku Klux Klan leaves me no other choice."
This communication was addressed to the Rt. Reverdy C. Ransom, Bishop of the A.M.E. Church, who is chairman of the Speakers' Committee of the Smith-for-President Colored League.
IRA T. BRYANT IS OUT FOR SMITH
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A.M.E. Sunday School Union is out for Al Smith.

Rev. W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, declared last Sunday morning that he would die and go to hell before he would vote for "Al" Smith. "I will not vote for whiskey," he declared.

Hubby Wouldn't Give Up Bachelorhood Sweethearts After Marriage
Three alleged sweethearts of Brackie B. Hall, 1015 Kenyon street, northwest, insurance agent sheik, were named in a suit for partial divorce filed by Mrs. Rosa Hall through the law offices of Armond W. Scott, in the Supreme Courf, Wednesday.
The couple were married in March, 1920, and the husband was abusive from the start, she declares, and openly admitted that he had not severed his relations with Eleanor Nickens, 1221 Carrollburg street, a bachelorhood sweetheart. He also admitted the parentage of a child born to the young woman.
Howard Student
Mrs. Hall also relates how her husband was on familiar terms with a Howard University student who roomed with her. The young woman had a habit of walking about the house in her night gown. When she attempted to put her out of the house the husband interfered and she remained throughout the school session. She came thinly clad into her husband's bedroom, the wife declares.
Ola Gilmore, another roomer in the home, was also named as one of the husband's paramours.
STAY OF FORECLOSURE SAVES MASONIC HALL
A last minute reprieve in the form of a stay of foreclosure, again saved the Masonic Temple from being lost to the local Grand Lodge when the Lola Construction Company, through Martin J. McNamara, attorney, relented Thursday, and extended the time for payment of the financial obligations which are long overdue. That no immediate settlement of the muddled affairs of the Masons is in sight was intimated by W. L. Houston, attorney for the Masonic Hall Corporation, who stated that his clients had no intention of turning over the money in their hands to Grand Master Ford to aid in the completion of the building.
JACK JOHNSON ON POLITICAL FENCE
"I haven't decided who I want for president yet," Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, declared when interviewed concerning reports that he would go on the stump for "Al" Smith, here this week.
"I think Smith is a good man, but I'd take my politics like I take my fights," said the ex-champ, "I have to watch the men in their training camps for a long time before I decide which is the best."
"Some day" said Jack, "the colored people of America will awake to find that I have always had the best interests of the race at heart."
At Press Club
Johnson with Jack Wiggins, costarring with him at the Howard Theatre here were presented to the Capitol City Press Club at a luncheon Tuesday by Earl W. Howard, publicity manager of the local Lichtman theatres.

DEPRIEST IS INDICTED IN CHICAGO
Formal Charges Returned in 3,000-Word Report Against Congressional Aspirant
CHICAGO, Ill. — Investigations started here in August ended this week in the formal-indictment of Oscar DePriest, candidate to Congress from the Third District, and Dan Jackson, in connection with the million-dollar graft scandal. DePriest and Jackson, both members of Gov. Small's state commerce commission, and Lieut.

The grand jury last Monday returned an indictment charging Jacob S. Murden, who formerly operated a real estate office in the 1300 block of U street, northwest, with larceny after trust.
The indictment alleges that Murden had the sum of $540 belonging to Joseph N. Harley in his possession and on August 11, 1927, fraudulently converted it to his own use. This money was entrusted to him to be applied in the purchase of property, it is charged.

MONTGOM'Y GHOST AGAIN UNCLOSETED
Dr. W. S. Montgomery's Connection with Failure of Capital City Bank Results in $2,880 Suit
TRIED COMPROMISE
A ghost buried for 28 years in the closet of the late Dr. Winfield Scott Montgomery, who succumbed here several weeks ago, arose this week in the form of a judgment for $2,280 against his heirs in connection with his part in the failure of the Old Capital City Bank in 1904.
A writ renewing the judgment for another twelve years was filed by the law firm of Lamarr and Thompson on behalf of Mrs. Edna Burrell Douglass, of New Orleans. Mrs. Douglass is the niece and heir of the late Charles F. Murray, a depositor, who lost that amount when the bank failed here.
Offered Compromise
According to a statement made by Attorney William H. Richards, who obtained the original judgment against Dr. Montgomery 28 years ago, a compromise was offered in 1916 in which the judgment would have been stricken up upon payment of $500. This Dr. Montgomery refused to do.
The Capital City Bank was started by Dr. Montgomery, his brother, Henry Montgomery, James F. Bradford, Milton Holland, Dr. John I. Francis and Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Johnson and four others. The bank went to the wall and depositors sued the organizers separately. All of which went into voluntary bankrupty.
The late Judge Robert F. Terrell, attorney for the bank, was also sued as were many others during the past 28 years.

The writ is directed against Mrs. (Continued on Page 4)

According to the bill of complaint, a year after her marriage, Mrs. Strickland began to keep company with Shaw. While her husband was working at night, she permitted Shaw to call to see her and on various occasions went out with him and stayed until late at night or early in the morning, Mr. Strickland alleges.
The couple were married May 22, 1923. They separated April 15, 1925. Attorney Ernest C. Dickson represents Mr. Strickland.

This week, Mr. Graham B. Reid, proprietor of Reid's Corner, located at Eleventh and U streets, northwest, celebrated the sixth anniversary of his business. Starting out with a belief that a well conducted music store on U street, would succeed, and with the handicap of capital, Mr. Reid pioneered in a field that few Negroes have ever entered.
Although one of the most musical races in the world, the Negro has not taken advantage of the opportunities to cater commercially to his own musical needs. Although Handy is the father of the blues, and therefore, the stepfather of the present jazz, Paul Whiteman and others have reaped the harvest from Mr. Handy's creation. Hundreds of Negro composers have contributed their share to the popular tunes of the day, but few have ever realized any substantial reward for their efforts. While contributing in a large measure to the theme, ideas, and in many cases, the tunes of the present jazz hits, the Negro in return has received little or no emolument.
Just as this has been true in the producing field, so has it been true in the merchandising field of music and musical instruments. Thousands of song hits, music rolls and records are purchased every year by Negroes, but less than one-half of one per cent of the money thus spent goes into the coffers of Negro music merchants.
Mr. Reid, with a pioneering spirit and with confidence in himself, launched out six years ago to see whether he could capture some of this trade. His appeal for business was not because he was a Negro merchant, but he asked for the patronage of all of the people of Washington on the broad ground that he gave service and quality merchandise at reasonable prices.
The fact that he has expanded his business from a small store six years ago, to a large spacious business with many departments, speaks for itself of the progress that he has made. Whatever measure of success he has so far obtained, he has earned it on the principal of being a good business man rather than because of the fact that he is a Negro and operates a store in a Negro neighborhood. Race has nothing to do with success, it is ability that counts. Mr. Reid has proved this theory to be true.
From a small music store with a limited stock, Mr. Reid has expanded, until today he operates one of the largest music supply stores in the city, a well and fully equipped men's haberdashery, a men's shoe department, a complete stationery store, and a department for women's hose and notions.
The Tribune extends to Mr. Reid and his wife (who has ably assisted him), congratulations, and we hope that the splendid example that they have given to the world of what Negro business can do will be emulated throughout the length and breadth of this land.
A PROBLEM FOR THE PRINCIPALS
According to complaints of students in the various schools, the annual pilfering of books, clothing and equipment from student lockers has begun. Hundreds of dollars' worth of valuables are lost each year in the schools through such thefts. Although all lockers are equipped with locks furnished by students, such things as they put in them are not never-the-less, safe.
With a new school year just beginning, now is a good time for the various principals to proceed to break up the ransacking of lockers and the stealing of articles. Whatever is necessary to make these locker rooms safe should be done at once. Every effort should be made to apprehend those who are guilty. The principals owe this duty to the parents who must always pay for the losses thus suffered.

Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, has been guest in Washington this week, he being a member of the cast of the show at the Howard Theater.

Lil' Arthur's smile is not as broad now as it was then, the movements of his body are not as quick, he is a little stooped in the shoulders, but—Jack Johnson, in the minds of millions of Americans, regardless of race, is still the symbol of all that is skillful, daring and fearless in the art of self-defense. "I'll Jack Johnson you," has become the legendary phrase of the American public.
Despite his advance in years and his permanent retirement from the prize ring, he is still one of the best known Negroes in the world. It would be a fitting reward to the American people if Jack Johnson would take under his tutelage some promising Negro boxer and impart to him some of the ring skill and technique that he (Johnson) possesses. In no better way could Jack prove to the pubic that he is grateful for the opportunities he enjoyed. His own monument is assured because he will live as long as boxing continues to hold the place it does in the realm of sports.
THE LETTER BOX
FREE MASONRY
While not an initiate into the "mysteries" of Free Masonry, I have always been given to understand that the great Masonic fraternity is an ideal institution, founded upon the broad principles of peace, harmony, and brotherly love, and that its members are enjoined to practise these virtues in their daily intercourse with each other and with mankind in general.
Granting this to be true, then I'd like to know what is the matter with the local Masonic group.
Instead of peace and harmony, I hear constant rumors of bickerings, dissention, jealousy, and internal strife.
If such a thing as brotherly love does exist, I must admit that I have seen but little, if any, outward manifestation of it. About the one and only proposition which our local Masons seem to be able to agree upon is an agreement to disagree.
The head of the fraternity seems to delight in emulating good old Teddy Roosevelt (in one manner only, however) as a wielder of the big stick. I wonder if he has ever heard the old adage about catching more flies with molasses than with vinegar, or the one about leading

The come-on guys may fall for soft soap and flattery and may be gyped by smooth talk, but you can't force them to disgorge the contents of their pocketbooks.
Likewise, each man has his own coterie of friends and admirers, and when the official axe is ruthlessly applied to his neck and his scalp is added to the growing collection of trophies, the support and good will of all of his friends pass over to the red ink side of the ledger, the decapitating process thus becoming a far-reaching liability instead of the intended asset.
A raw sore is left which, like a cancer, is well-night incurable and continues to spread in spite of attempts to heal it by plastering it with salve.
As for freedom of speech and independence of thought and action—such things seem entirely to have ceased to exist. A gag rule more efficient in its operation than the one applied in naval circles during the recent war seems to be in effect. Men seem reticent about discussing conditions or in expressing freely for fear of incurring the displeasure of the all-powerful ruler and falling victims of his well-greased guillotine.
It is downright pitiful to see hundreds of earnest men and women, deluded by flattering but empty promises, gazing with long-

ing eyes at the building at Tenth and U streets. But have they any one but themselves to blame for the present condition of affairs? I should say no. They have been manipulated as pawns in the game of strategy played by their leaders, and have quiescently permitted themselves to be debauched by the devastating conflict between selfish forces—a fight which could and should have been averted. In unity there is strength, and a house divided against itself can not stand. From all present indications it seems to me that the local Masonic organization is riding for a fall, and that only a miracle can avert the impending disaster.
The old saying about a man being down but never out applies with equal force to any group of men banded together for any purpose. The situation, which to me seems almost hopeless, may not be entirely beyond mending if the local Masons will forget playing politics for a while and revert to the practise of the time-tested principles upon which this oldest and most honorable of all fraternal organizations is founded—peace, harmony, and brotherly love.

The woman who takes the conceit out of a man often adds a little to her own.
The only thing that brings joy to the pessimist is the chance to say "I told you so."
The man who knows he is right and then goes ahead shouldn't be disappointed if the crowd doesn't follow him.
A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL
Washington, my espionage system reveals, has the finest developed crop of parasites south of Harlem, New York.
The Nation's Capital seems unusually blessed or cursed in its overdose of handsome, slickhaired young excuses for manhood who seem decidedly skillful in the business of toiling not and spinning little.
Washington's parasites are divided into several classes, the ultrafashionable or professional brand who find themselves married to school teachers whose earnings are sufficient to keep her noble spouse from plying his trade as doctor or lawyer any too strenuously.
The undergraduate breath and breeches who finds the spare change of the stenographer or bookkeeper a considerable help in working his way through school, is another class.
And lastly the ordinary everyday pimp who plays up to $12 a week waitresses for a hand out of cold chow and cigarette money.
The methods used by all three, my espionage system reveals, are identically the same. It is a business based on the principal that "It is the woman who pays." The only difference is that one class deals in high finance, the other in small loans and the third in chattel.
The game is one of the cleverest and oldest of confidence games—parlor, sofa and low light filinflaming. A jelly bean spots the lady of his dreams, pardon my error, in this case she is the lady of his schemes, and after ascertaining whether her earnings are sufficient to justify the investment he proceeds to lead her a pace that sweeps her off her feet and robs her of the power of serious reflection. As soon as he is certain that she has been rendered sufficiently unconscious by his love ether to become interested ni his welfare, he proceeds to do his stuff.

KIDDIES
The society pimp leads his prospective meal ticket to the altar in a blaze of glory, takes her on a honeymoon and returns to a good, long rest. He makes a test of the saying that two can live off of the same school system as cheaply as one.
The college P I's have a different method. They steer clear of the ardent love making as much as possible displaying their petting proclivities only where the lady demands action for her money. As a rule they prefer the "big sister" racket. They like to drop around and be on good terms with the whole family and get a touch out of everybody from the grandfather down to the kid brother—with a possible feed thrown in.
They take their money in dribbles from the lady love, accepting it with a tone of injured pride and pleading with her to keep an itimized account so they can pay back every nickle as soon as they finish school. Half a dozen such "big sisters" and "little sisters" on the string is almost as profitable as a chain of gasoline stations.
The third class uses another method. He spots his breadwinner, rushes her "jamup" for a while until he gets her cockey enough to be sympathetic. He then announces that he has lost his job. He is hungry, he needs cigarettes, his rent is due, he is undoubtedly in quite a dilemma. She must help him, and does. His unemployment lasts as long as her sympathies and money hold out.
The third class pimp does not resort to the strategy and cunning of this more cultured brethren. As time goes on he grows bolder and demands his money. He dogs the steps of his benefactor and even extorts her small earning with his fists.

OFFER PRIZES FOR ESSAYS
The Commission on Interracial Co-operation is offering to high school students three cash prizes aggregating $100 for the best papers on "America's Tenth Man" submitted on or before March 1, 1929. All high school or junior high school pupils are eligible to enter papers in this competition.
The purpose of these prizes is to encourage as widely as possible the study of the Negro's part in American history.
HUSBANDS
'Tis a long way to look but it's time to mention these facts:
A trifling boy makes a trifling man, and, of course, a trifling man is apt to make a trifling husband.
Each boy should be industrious, kind and thrifty. Each girl should be industrious and learn a trade or profession, for by so doing you can be independent enough to wait for a good worthy person and not accept some masculine makeshift for a husband. Girls, make mother your companions.
Haven't there been times when you have noticed children (and older folks too) being so noisy as to make you feel badly and sometimes embarrassed?
Sometimes such conduct is due to thoughtlessness, at other times because of indifference as to the impression being made on those who are observing. In either case deterioration is the result.
Let those who are anxious to deport themselves in the proper manner refrain from doing those things that cause unfavorable comment being made of you.
Beazel, beany, byny bie.
Bake for me a pickel pie;
Make it thick and deep and tall
And I'll eat it—crust and all.
Have you seen the stars ashing
In the middle of the day?
No you've never seen them shining
But this letter to you I'll tell
You can see the stars in daytime
From the bottom of a well.
(Note: It is true that were you to be lowered into a well you could look up and see the stars shining in the daytime. The sky is full of stars at all times. We see them best at night because we are in the shadow of the earth. The earth is between us and the sun and the dark space which we call night has the same effect upon our vision, allowing us to see the stars.
Ask your teacher to explain this to you.-Ed.)

I. a few weeks, when I stop loving you,
I shall have back my old impertinent smile,
I shall have back my perfidy and guile,
And make men fall in love, as hitherto.
In a few weeks, when I stop loving you,
I'll take up my old ways without regret.

Serene, oblivious, without adieu.

Such is my fate. Then reap this

And sweet enchantment of love's joy and pain.

With flowers and birds for company—
A clear sparkling flowing brook
With blue sky floating serene o'er me.

From the world and its useless

LETTER TO AL SMITH AIDS BOY,13
Invalid Youth's Note to Governor Gets Father Arrested Here
Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, presidential candidate of the Democratic party, was not too busy in his speech making to aid a little 13-year-old invalid boy of New York and was instrumental in having his father, Charles E. Edwards, 412 Florida avenue, this city, indicted for non-support. The father was employed as a waiter on the B. & O. Railroad, and made his home here. The boy, who is an epileptic, wrote Governor Smith the following letter:
"My Daddy has deserted me, and my mother has to work for a living and my Daddy is in Washington and his address is 412 Florida avenue, northwest. My mother has tried to make him help her but nobody seems to care. I will thank you very much if you will make him support me because he ran away four years ago. My address is 280 Bonner place, and I have been sick four years.
"I know you are a good governor and I know you will make my father support me.

School Board Rules on Oratorical Contest in Which Negroes Were Barred Last Year
The Board of Education at its meeting last Wednesday afternoon without objection approved of the participation of the senior high schools in the sixth national oratorical contest which an afternoon paper conducts each spring in the District of Columbia, Maryland and nearby Virginia.
Superintendent Frank W. Ballou will transmit to each senior high school principal the invitation to participate, leaving to each school the option of accepting or rejecting the invitation.
Barred from Finals
Last spring the Armstrong and the Dunbar high schools refused to participate in the contest because of alleged color discrimination. Under the terms their representatives were not to appear in the finals for this area in competition against the representatives of the white schools.

THEFTS AT DUNBAR
WORRY PARENTS
The continued theft of textbooks from students at Dunbar High School, copied with the apparent inability of school officials to cope with the situation, is causing much worry and resentment on the part of parents of many of the students.
School officials apparently have taken little interest in the matter. In spite of numerous complaints, no drastic action has been taken to correct the situation, and no methodical effort has been made to discover the whereabouts of the stolen books or to apprehend the person or persons responsible for the thefts.
Pioneer Resident Dead
Haywood Hicks, pioneer citizen of this city, passed away last Tuesday evening at his home, 929 Howard avenue, southeast, having reached the ripe old age of eighty-five years.

Funeral services were conducted, Wednesday, from his residence in Anacostia, the Reverend George A. Fisher, rector of St. Phillips Episcopal Chapel, officiating. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery.

ONLY HAD TOY GUN, BUT GETS 30 DAYS
The mere statement, "I'm going to kill you," said in a jist, according to the testimony of the defendant, but taken seriously, by the one at whom it was directed, caused Michael Mason to be sentenced to 30 days in jail in default of a $50 fine, for threats by Judge John P. McMahon, in police court, Monday. According to the testimony, Mason purchased a cigarette lighter, modeled in the form of a small pistol, Sunday morning, and went to the home of Mary Taylor, his sweetheart, at 1003 Sixth street, northeast. During the course of his convention with her, Mason pulled out the trinket and pointed it at Miss Mason, meanwhile saying, "I'm going to kill you."

How Weak Nervous Women Grow Stronger
Feel Better, Look Younger and Have Steadier Nerves
If you only knew—you rundown, anemic men—who are dragging yourself around on your "nerve"—what a wonderful increase in strength and health Tanlac will give you, you wouldn't hesitate a moment about going to your druggist and getting a big bottle of this splendid medicine.
Mrs. F. C. Martin, of 1907 Frederick Ave., Baltimore, Md., says: "I suffered from chronic nervous and stomach trouble and had just about lost hope of getting well. But here I am today—a whole year since taking Tanlac—feeling stronger and younger than in years."
Tanlac is as free from harmful drugs as the water you drink—only Nature's own medicinal tonic herbs. Druggists know this and for the past 10 years have recommended it to men and women who need a quick "pick up" that will put them on their feet and give them a new interest in life.
So confident are the makers of Tanlac that if you are not helped by it you get your money back on request. Tanlac

WOMAN'S SOCIETY
Bridge Routs Whist as Club Season Opens
True to predictions, a number of social clubs met during the past week and organized for the coming season. The majority of the clubs plan to play bridge as it is more ultra, although several are still clinging to the antique "five hundred" and whist. But everyone to his or her liking.
The Thursday Evening Bridge Club was called together by the president, Miss Katherine Beard, of 1739 S street, northwest, on last Tuesday evening. Two of the members of the club, Miss Ethel Harris and Miss Pearl Adams are studying abroad this year. Miss Harris in Germany and Miss Adams in England, so Mrs. Thelma Amos will play for Miss Harris and Mrs. Grace Miller will play for Adams. Other members of the club include Misses Irene Miller, Muriel Milton, Mesdames Justine Greene, Carrie Boyd, Sadie Engram, Mildred Giles, Marie Long, Mae Skinner and Viyian Turner. Plans are such that indicate a most enjoyable winter.
Met a very pleasing personage last week, who was making a most hurried trip here from Baltimore, Mr. W. L. Hartsfield. Mr. Hartsfield who seems to be quite a popular bachelor of Baltimore lost no time in Washington, judging from glimpseps caught of his Chevrolet here and there.
Another Baltimorean, Attorney McGuinn, who has just returned from the West, where he has spent the major part of the summer, spent several days in the city looking up old friends before going to his home in Baltimore.
Saw Roy Ellis and Mercer Cook. Roy Ellis is now located in New York and is in town for a short stay. Of course Mercer Cook is scheduled for the Howard faculty again. It is really too bad summer is over so far as these chaps are concerned. Speaking of Howard University, we note quite a change in the faculty, "for better or for worse"—?
Marriage Announced
A deferred marriage announcement of interest to Washingtonians is that of Henry C. Parker, Sr., and Mrs. Jennie E. Livingston. The marriage took place in this city, July 28, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. W. H. Thomas and witnessed by Attorney C. S. Cuney and S. H. Dudley.
Honored with Tea
The pleasing personality of Miss Beatrice Bland and an unusually interesting program were largely responsible for a most successful tea given by Miss Bland on Sunday evening for the benefit of the Order of the Eastern Star. It was a pleasing success both financially and socially.
Surprise Birthday Party
A very delightful birthday surprise party was given Mrs. Pearl Thomas of 812 New Hampshire avenue, northwest, on last Sunday evening by a group of her friends. Those present were Julian Slaughter, Mr. Richard Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carrol, Mr. Henry Garland and Miss Mamie Hawkins.

NEW YORK CITY.—Members of the Clafnish University Club held memorial services, at 254 West 135th St., for the late James LeCount Chestnut, who was formerly a member of the faculty at that institution.
Mr. Chestnut died at his home, 127 Bainbridge street, Brooklyn, last April. He was, from July, 1090, to May, 1921, engaged in the public school system of Washington.

"Buget System Aid to Working Girl" - Kitty
By Kitty Carewe
Have you ever stopped to think how the average girl of today lives? If not stop and examine the figures below and see if you know of any girls who fall into either of these classes and see if you cannot help the extravagant ones to better their way of living by giving more thought to the spending of their money.
Even the Washington school teacher, who by the way does not fall under the class of the average girl so far as her salary goes, may also take lessons and make more use of her money, for the majority of them fall under the class of the extravagrant girl.
We are speaking mainly of the average stenographer or the girls making from $60 to $80 per month, then the waitress group, who make only $12.00 per week, with opportunity for making tips, but no certainty. These are the types of girls who constitute the bulk of Washington's working class.
Girls in these classes find them selves constantly in straightened circumstances because they do not budget their earnings properly. They will find that by paying their board and lodging monthly or bi-monthly instead of weekly they can obtain reductions in this item. The

club plans offered by many restaurants are a greater saving than living with private families, who are forced to charge more. With this problem out the way the girl will find that she will have more money at her command from each week's pay. Separate banking accounts for living and clothes upon which a definite sum is placed weekly not only develops the saving habit, but also prevents promiscuous spending.
PRAISES ACTION OF LOCAL ATTORNEYS
The Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church, praised the action taken by the local Bar Association in protesting the brutality of police officers, in a letter to Attorney Charles E. Robinson, president of the association, Monday.
An excerpt from his letter reads: "Like you, we have no sympathy with violators of the law, but we believe, as you do, that every man—whatever the color of his skin or nationality—ought to be regarded innocent until he is proven guilty; and that police, sheriffs and other arresting officers have no right to use unnecessary force or to be cruel and brutal in handling those whom they seek to arrest, be they black or white."

Wife Who Cared for Mate's Illegitimate Child is Herself Deserted by Him
TOOK MATE'S CHILD IN; IS DESERTED
Wife Abandoned After She Takes His Illegitimate Child to Rear
LIVES WITH ANOTHER
Although she took her husband's alleged illegitimate child into her home and forgive him for his misconduct, he later failed to provide for their support and finally deserted her. Mrs. Mabel Lewis, 1507 Eighth street, northwest, charges in a petition for maintenance filed in the District Supreme Court last Wednesday. The truant husband is James H. Lewis, 643 B street, southeast. He is employed as a cement finished by Charles D. Sager, builder. His pay is said to be $8 a day, and $1 an hour for overtime. His earnings, his wife says, are approximately $60 weekly.
Mrs. Lewis charges that her husband is the father of a child born to Carrie Grayson on September 15, 1923. Upon his promise to be a true and faithful husband, she says, she forgives him and took the illegitimate child into her home to raise.
She has recently learned, Mrs. Lewis alleges, that her husband has rented another home at 634 B street, southeast, and is supporting and maintaining the entire family of another girl there.
THREE SHARE IN WILL OF MRS. PINCHBACK
Mrs. Nina Emily Pinchback, who died September 14, last, directed in her will that her house at No. 1335 Twelfth street, northwest, he sold and the proceeds he divided among her son, her daughter-in-law and her grandson.
Under the conditions of the will her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Nettie Pinchback, is to receive $1,000 from the proceeds, and the balance is to be equally divided between Walter A. Pinchback, her son, and Eugene P. Toomer, a poet, of New York City. Mr. Toomer is to receive $60 a month from the rent until the property is sold.
Mr. Pinchback and Mr. Toomer are named as the executors of her estate.
Mrs. Pinchback was the widow of the late Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, of Louisiana.
WIFE BEATER GIVEN 30-DAY JAIL TERM
"It appears you went a little too far" said Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court, Monday, as he sentenced Joseph Norris, 212 Seaton Court, northwest, to thirty days in jail for assaulting his wife, Estelle Norris, and Joseph Edwards, the latter of whom gave his address as Walter Reed Hospital. Norris told the judge that he did beat his wife and the man when he found her upstairs in the house next door to his home hiding from him. He said that he was told that his wife was in the house, but that when he went there looking for her, several of the inmates told him that she was not there. He entered and went to the second floor where he found his wife in a room.
He denied that he dragged her from the house into the alley as Edwards and his wife had testified. Norris said he attacked Edwards because the latter had told him that his wife was not in the house.
Man Victim of Auto
Struck and knocked down by an automobile on Eighteenth street between T street and Oregon avenue, northwest, last Tuesday evening, Arthur B. Bordon, 31, of 712 Girard street, northwest, suffered lacerations of the knee and left leg, but otherwise escaped uninjured.

Alphon Hill, 1759 S street, northwest, was found on the street, in a badly bruised condition and conveyed to the Freedmen's Hospital for treatment of lacerations of the head and body. He was said to have been under the influence of liquor and his injuries were due to a fall.

TRAPPED IN ELEVATOR

Mrs. Sarah Green Dead
The death of Mrs. Sarah Greene, late of 3812 Davenport street, northwest, has robbed Fort Reno of one of its oldest and most beloved inhabitants.
Mrs. Greene, who survived her late husband, Fred Greene, for nearly two years, was called to eternal rest on Monday, the 24th of September last, being then in her 73rd year. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. A. Jones, at the Rock Creek Baptist Church, Thursday, the 27th. Interment was at Payne's Cemetery.
The pastor was eloquent in his discourse and eulogy, the church was crowded, and Mr. Lomax, the undertaker, was as usual master of the situation.
Friends and relatives were equally affected by the loss they sustained in the death of this good lady, who was affectionately known to all as "Mamma Greene."
In her days of activity, she was a leading figure and a tireless worker in the Rock Creek Baptist Church, of which the Rev. A. Jones is pastor. To this good soul no sacrifice was too great in the interest of the church, or its pastor, or for the comfort and welfare of her fellowmen with whom she was in daily contact. Devoted as she was to the interest of others, she was considered by students of human nature a rare character in the light of her altruistic tendencies. If, as the poet wrote:
"Man's best riches must be gained, not given,
His noblest name deserved, and not derived."
then her survivors may well be proud of the record of this exemplary character, who throughout her whole life gave them lessons of faith in God, the faith that works by love, that purifies the heart, and overcomes the world.
And on her tombstone should be carved:
"A name, and a wreath, and a tale to touch hearts through the wide-spreading years."
She is survived by three children; Mrs. E. Irene Warren, 3812 Dennison place, northwest; Mrs. G. V. Denman, 3812 Davenport street, northwest; Mr. Wyatt F. Greene, 1002 Ninth street, northeast; a niece: Mrs. Hannah Brooks, 1006 Kenyon street, northwest; two grandsons: Mr. Randolph Warren, 3812 Dennison place, northwest; Master Frederick Greene, 1002 Ninth street, northeast; two great-grandchildren: Master Edward and Miss Esta Francese Warren—R.

SIXTY DAYS FOR BAD MANNERS
Bad manners will cost Moses Coleman sixty days in jail because he assaulted James Wallis, 357 C street, southwest, when the latter objected to the use of profane language in the presence of his wife, Sunday night. Coleman was jailed for disorderly conduct, Monday morning.
"Still maintaining the policy that the very best road shows and photoplayes would be seen under the new management of the Howard, we have been fortunate enough in securing for the week beginning Monday, October 8, Mr. Irvin C. Miller's "Brown Skin Models," with a cast of favorites and many new faces, and twelve well-drilled "Miller Dancing Girls," and last but not least, six original brown artist models," is the first statement given out by Mr. Wycks, the new house manager of the Howard Theatre.
Much in the way of novelty with a generous share of comedy and instrumental music occurs during the action of the "Models."

BOTH RACES SUFFER BY PREJUDICE
Leading Pastors Discuss Racial Problem at Shiloh Baptist
NO DIVINE RIGHT
Negroes should learn to discriminate between the white man who injures them and the white man who suffers because of that injury, Dr. Jason Nobel Pierce, white, pastor of First Congregational Church, told a large audience of mixed hearers, at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday. The pastor was one of a number of prominent speakers of both races who participated in the interdenominational Ministerial Alliance Goodwill services which were celebrated Sunday.
No Divine Right to Rule
Dr. Walter H. Brooks stated the cause of friction between races here as the belief of one race in its divine right to rule, and the disbelief of the other race in that principle.
He analyzed interracial feeling in tates where the Negro had been freed voluntarily, as contrasted with feeling in those States where his freedom had come as the result of war, and presented a resume of present-day conditions to indicate that the wounds of the Civil War were rapidly healing.
Problem of Present
Dr. James H. Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian Church, discussed the problem of interracial relations as primarily one of the present, but which must be thought of in terms of the future of America, as to whether that future would be a cosmopolitanism developed out of the melting pot of European races, or along more restricted lines.
He presented time as the principal element in the solution of interracial problems.
The interracial situation in America is not what it should be in face of Christian religion, declared Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of the cathedral of Washington. He outlined the progressive development of the goodwill movement during the past five years in all parts of the South. Mrs. Mamie P. Thomas, a member of the inter-racial commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, also addressed the meeting.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1928
READ THIS STORY THROUGH!
The Washington College of Pharmacy came into being through the efforts and sacrifices of a few druggists of our racial group, in 1921. It stands in a unique position, being the only school of its kind organized and maintained solely by our group and should be the pride and joy of all race loving people. The dearth of qualified relief clerks, and the cry of so many of our young men and women for a chance to study, for this honorable profession, together with the fact that other Pharmacy Schools open to our group are over taxed, and operate only in the day time, depriving many of an opportunity to gain a professional education, due to their inability to attend day schools; forced its sponsors to open its doors to worthy and competent applicants. Since its humble beginning in 1921, when it occupied rented quarters over Mr. Clarence M. Deveille's real estate office, 1837 Seventh street, northwest, one hundred and seven students have been graduated, and from these have gone, men and women to their life's work in the field of Pharmacy.
It may be interesting to know that our graduates have been very successful before state boards of pharmacy, for our records show that 82 per cent of those who have chanced boards of pharmacy have passed with jealous averages. So that at this writing we report 44 registered pharmacists, and eleven qualified assistants, and their captured fields include, the District of Columbia, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and North Carolina. We have also given to the city of Washington the following stores, for they are owned or operated by our successful graduates: Wiseman's Pharmacy, Fourth and Elm streets, northwest; Reynold's Pharmacy, 2600 Georgia avenue, northwest; Williams' Pharmacy, First and Virginia avenue, southwest; Triangle Pharmacy, 241 Virginia avenue, southeast; Davidson's Pharmacy, 609 Four-and-a-half street, southwest; Twine's Pharmacy, 1319 H street, northeast, and a check up reveals that 70 per cent of the relief clerks in our group stores are W.C.P. men.
We think that such a record reflects credit, not only to the W.C.P., but to our group as a whole, and says that such a school ought to live, that it might grow and be a service to worthy young men and women in the years that are to come.
The school is located in its own three-story brick building and has striven by untold sacrificing to meet the demands of this era of changes in our educational system, and we feel that race pride should send us help in this hour of need. Ten thousand dollars by March 16, 1929, is the slogan of the W.C.P. What will you, who read or bear of this do?
Why the need for ten thousand dollars? The new pharmacy law, of the District of Columbia, which is now effective requires that an approved school of pharmacy must have:
1. Equipment valued to the amount of $100,00 for each student enrolled, and in no case less than $2,500.00.
2. Three full time professors, regularly employed to teach.
3. Three laboratories, equipped for teaching Chemistry, Pharmacy, Materia Medica, and allied branches.
4. The entire faculty shall be selected for their masterly ability to teach their chosen subjects.
5. And all other things which go to make up a 100 per cent College of Pharmacy.
The District of Columbia Board of Pharmacy and a committee of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy have commended our efforts and have given us written assurance of recognition, porviding we measure up to these requirements within a year. (This must not be construed as contradictory to the above statement that the funds must be raised by March, 1929. The directors of the school will not spend any of the funds collected, until the entire amount has been secured; therefore a sufficient length of time is necessary to apportion the funds and make the changes and improvements, indicated. The intervening time, March to September, 1929, is necessary for this purpose.)
Graduates of our school are at this time eligible to appear before state examining boards in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming.
When the College shall have been approved by the Board of Pharmacy of the District of Columbia, said District will be counted in the above list as well as many other states that enjoy reciprocal arrangements with the District of Columbia Board.
We must not fail, for the cry of the youth of our group rings in our ears, with your help we can not fail.
Tack this strongly in your heart and in your mind: THE W.C.P. MUST LIVE.

SPORTS EDITOR
It was a Baptist deacon from the air of balmy Georgia who took unto himself the vested art of the fistic arena, who tripped the light fantastic around a host of white pugs, and who finished at the top of the heap when all was said and done.
It is a Baptist deacon from the shores of sunny California who has taken unto himself the right to take up where his brother of faith, profession and vocation left off, when he died, last November.
Tiger Flowers, of whom we mean to make mention in our first paragraph, and Baby Joe Gans, to whom we indirectly refer, in our second resemble in many respects. Gans is as clean a liver, as fine a gentleman, and as great a fighter in his class as the immortal "Georgia Deacon."
Flowers was a deacon in his church in the South. Well, Baby Joe also is a deacon of the colored Baptist church of Los Angeles, and when he is in his home town he passes the plate and to his deaconly duties every Sunday.
Flowers was one of the psalm singing sons of slug who showed that a fellow could put an opponent to sleep and still lead a devout life, and Baby Joe Gans, now that the beloved Tiger has passed on, intends to show the Eastern folk that he, too, as a deacon in good standing, can combine a religious life with a career in the ring.
Gans is a freak when it comes to weight. He can box at the lightweight limit of 135 and answer the bell in the pink of condition with all his strength. He can train so that he will tip the scale at 142 and be ready for those at or near that weight, or he can build himself up to 147, where he will be set for a go with Joe Dundee or whoever hold the wetterweight title. Therein lies his claim to being a pugilistic freak.
Deacon Gans does not claim there are no black marks on his record. He admits that of his 105 fights, five were lost, but none when he fought as a lightweight. And he has yet to ask what struck him, the usual query of a batter after being knocked out.
Punching the bag and working at the pulleys, Gans, in the rest periods, said he never smoked, chewed or drank liquor.
"If some of the boys want to do that," he said, "that's their business. I know the ring game is a short one and I am doing my best to save some money that will let me get into a business that will take care of me and my own."
Gans would like to go to a theological school if conditions permitted and teach the gospel. According to Lichtenstein, the boy never gloats over an opponent, never rises to anger, and never, to his knowledge, has used profanity.
BISON DIARY FOR '28
THREE LOCAL ATHLETES THOMPSON BEATEN BY IN VIRGINIA SCHOOLS JACKIE FIELDS
Well, after introduction all the way around, which included Conner and myself, I asked him what he wanted me to do. He told me that I was to report immediately to the coach out on the campus. I went outside and while I was looking around for the camping grounds where I judged the camps, that Conner mentioned, would be found, I saw a crowd of fellows in the same kind of attire that I was, running around on a field chasing a lot of lop-sided leather balls. I went over, and asked for the camps, and while one of the fellows (whom I later learned was named Jack Coles) was directing me over to the other side of the river, a fellow in short sleeved jersey yelled out, "Hey there you rookie, come over here, and shut up." I wondered how he knew my name but I went.
As I said before, I wondered how in the world that fellow standing out their in the sleeveless shirt know that I was one of the Rukes, so when he bellowed out that "Hey there you rookie, come over here and shut your trap," I just went. Walking up to him, I says, says I, "Excuse me mister, I don't know your name, but seeing that you know me, I kinda thought I'd ask you was you from Whiteapple too?" Well, I don't know what happened funny, but anyway after the gang got through laughing at something, the fellow whom I knew must have at least past through Franklin County, and had seen my picture in the Spittoon, answered my question. He says, says he, "No son I never was in Pineap—I mean Whiteapple, but I knew the minute I saw you that you was a rookie."
"Oh," I says, says I, "then maybe you know my pa, Israel Rukey, who used, to be the fourth assistant chairman of the deson board of the Mount Mariah Church, or my ma, Liza Rukey, her name before she married pa was Umpstutter, and her grandfather was, be fore the war, a member of the Second Volunteer Fire Department. By the way, did you ever meet
Three former Washington high school star athletes left the city early this week for Virginia colleges where they will matriculate the coming winter.
Percy White and Louis Dabney, graduates of the Armstrong High School last year, and Adrienne Johnson, of the '27 Dunbar High School graduating class boarded trains southward bound for Lynchburg and Petersburg. White, an all-round athlete of no mean proportions, and Johnson, a football player of excellent repute, are headed for Virginia Seminary and College where they will join a host of star local athletes already there. Ed Davis, Slim Henderson, Red Fowler (captain of this year's football team), and Skeeter Underdown already have a year or more to their credit at the Lynchburg school.
Dabney will doubtless be heard from when news of the Virginia State College football, basketball and baseball teams reach us.
Old Man Hiram Sigsby. He's the editor of the Spittoon, and the one that said I ought it obe named part after my pa and part after my ma. That's how I happened to get my name. The first letter is from pa's, and the last two are from ma's. They gave ma the most letters 'cause everybody wanted me to be a girl."
All the time I was talking the bunch of guys standing around me just kept on laughing. I didn't like it at all, and I thought they was the most unmany group I ever saw in my life. One of them especially, that same old Jack Coles, just acted like he was crazy.
The man with no sleeves in his shirt—none of us had much sleeves though for that matter—then spoke up and said, "All right men let's cut the monkeyshies and get down to business, we've got a long week facing us."
The rest of the gang campered off and started doing just what the man had asked them not to do. They started running about chasing those same lop-sided balls they were chasing when I first saw them. And the ones that wuzant doing that were going through some of the funniest gyrations I ever saw. It was my turn to laugh, and turn the tables on this bunch of biks. I just rolled.
I was on my knees holding my stomach and just a laughing, when of a sudden, I was run over by one of those street cars, I tried so hard to dodge when I went down to the Tribune office to see the Tribune office to see the boss, last week. When I opened my eyes, I saw a crowd of wild men dressed in the most foolish attire I ever laid eyes on standing over me. The location of my position came to me immediately, and I realized that I must have been struck by one of these fellows who was in the act of running after that ball. I was right.
A big fellow, they said his name was John Oliver and that he weighed 235 pounds, but the chap was nice enough to help me up; meantime telling me that his name was Hall, and that he only weighed 213. He apologized for not seeing me, and I accepted because he seemed to me to be the kind of a fellow that I would like.
(To be continued)
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Young Jack Thompson's hopes received a serious setback here Monday night when Jackie Fields, white, handed him what is probably the worst beating he has received during his colorful ring career, while a crowd of 10,000 looked on.
While the fight was a non-title one it is thought that Fields may be substituted for Thompson in the fight with Joe Dundee at Madison Square Garden, November 16. Fields weighed 145½ pounds to 144 for Thompson, rained down a terrific body attack on the man who beat the champion pummeling him with short lefts and rights to win seven of the ten rounds.
Thompson's rallies in the sixth and seventh sessions gave him those rounds with the fight declared even. The victory was the eleventh straight for Fields and his manager, Gig Rooney, hopes that Dundee now will rather fight him than meet Thompson.

The qualifying round of the District Amateur Golf Championship will be played over the Lincoln Memorial links, West Potomac Park, Sunday, Harry Jackson and John W. Shippen, managers of the affair, announced early this week. There will be a prize for the winner of medal play. The tournament, which is open to all amateurs in and around the District of Columbia, has for the past three years been the biggest drawing card of local golfing competitions. This year should be no exception. A host of the city's leading mashie wielders for participation when the qualifiers start teeing off. Sunday.
Chief among these expected competitors are Beltran Barker, runner-up at Mapledale, last month; Tommie Edwards, winner of the runner-up prize in the second flight championships, recently held at Mapledale; Dr. George W. Adams, runner-up in the Consolation Play-off of the First Flight in that same tournament; Wyatt Green, Jimmie Williams, Charlie Honesty, William Carter, Nat Mackell, Franz Welch, Al Fortune, and Ed. Spriggs, winner of the Local Open Tournament, held earlier in the season.
Pleasant Goodwin, winner of the District Amateur Championships, last year will be on hand again this year to defend his crown. Goodwin has been in practice rounds for the past few weeks, and his game should be at its peak when the players tee off this coming Sabbath. Jack Shippen, probably one of the leading players of this city, who recently turned pro, is assisting Harry Jackson in the conducting of the affair.
JACK JOHNSON SHOWS HIS UPPERCUT AT THE HOWARD
Sitting in on the show at the Howard Theatre, Wednesday night, I heard related how back in the early 'teens a massively framed youth of Negro parentage rose to the heights of pugilism through his decisive defeat of Stanley Ketchel, one of the leading middle and light-heavyweights of that day and time, and then became hailed as the new black sensation of the country.
I heard how this big boy got on the trail of Tommy Burns, who had inherited the title when Jim Jeffries, then heavy champion, went into retirement. Burns was chased to Mexico and then to Australia, where he found it necessary, because of the trend of public sentiment against him, to meet the colored pugilist.
No sooner had the Negro docked in New York after neatly trimming the white heir to the throne, than Tex Richard and a host of Metropolitan promoters got to work on Jeffries in an effort to persuade the retired champ to come out of his hole and take the role of "white hope" and save the Caucasian cause from the threes of disastrous ridicule. They succeeded, unfortunately for Jeffries, and the big "white hope" signed to meet the Negro in July of 1914.
Well, after Jack Johnson, who is the real subject of all this writing had toyed with Jeffries all he wanted to, the "white hope" was picked up from the floor of the ring where he had fallen to sleep as the result of having been struck by the famous "Johnson invented uppercut."
With nothing else to do Thursday I went about looking over the scrap book of C. Leslie Frazier, of our staff, coincidentally I found the following tribute to Johnson which appeared in several papers soon after his victory over Jeffries. Thought it was kinda good, don't you?
Giant of pugilism,
Strong man of all the world,
Facing the criticism
That you are the man of power,
You are the champion—king—

Opening Scholastic Game Cancellee
The opening game of the 1928 local scholastic season scheduled for today (Friday), between the Armstrong Technical High School football team and the Bowie Normal School eleven, at Bowie, Md., has been cancelled.
Announcement of the cancellation was made through the offices of Principal G. David Houston, of the local school, Thursday. The game was called off out of respect to Isaac N. Miller, who died as the result of an operation, at Carson's Private Hospital, Wednesday night.
Mr. Miller was director of physical education at the Armstrong School. He was also coach of basketball.
DABNEY PLAYS IN STATE COLLEGE OPENER
Louis "Red" Dabney, former star athlete at the Armstrong Technical High School, participated in the opening game of the Virginia State College, when they defeated the fast North Carolina College Eagles, here last Saturday. The score was 13-0. Dabney entered the game as a substitute and acquitted himself well. It is only due to the wealth of outstanding material which the State coach finds himself nursing, that the District boy might fail to be the ace of the Virginia backfield.
BLUEFIELD TRIUMPHS
31-7 IN OPENER
Counting fourteen first downs to Virginia Union's one, the Big Blue team of the Bluefield Collegiate Institute scored an easy victory in their opening game of the 1928 season, here last Saturday. The score was 31-7. Bluefield completed four passes out of five attempted. Drew, of Bluefield, punts averaged thirty-four yards while, Breaux, of Union averaged thirty-eight yards Union tried four passes completing none. Two of them were intercepted, one for a touch-down.
NEAGIE ELLIS ENTERS VIR-
GINIA UNION
Fred "Neagie" Ellis, first fiveletter man to graduate from the Armstrong Technical High School, has registered at Virginia Union University. Ellis finished at the tArmstrong school in the June class of 1924, after winning his varsity letter in football, baseball, track, basketball, and military training. A star in any of these sports, Ellis is expected to establish an unparalleled athletic record at the Richmond institution.

BIG BENEFIT MIDNIGHT RAMBLE
HOW'RD EMB'RKS FOR OPENING AT SALISBURY
Twenty-two Howard University football players entrained Wednesday night for Salisbury, N.C. where they are booked to make their debut as the 1928 Bisons, this afternoon (Friday).
Headed by Coach Charles West, and Captain "Hoss" Ross, the Blue and White squad presented a formidable aggregation chock full of confidence. The new Bison mentor took with him a combination which should prove well balanced in every respect. The chief worry, the line, is composed of a veteran nucleus in Hawkins, Rainey, Hall, Webb, Simpson and Sayles, and with more actual work under fire this combination should mould itself into a forward wall which should compare favorably with any college seven in the country.
Coach West's highly touted new system will get its first real test in the game today. This system is not an adoption of the one used at Washington and Jefferson, as one might suppose, but it is a combination of the systems used by "Andy" Kerr at Washington and Jefferson, and Glenn Warner at Leland Stanford University, together with the system employed at the University of Pittsburgh, Lafayette and California. During his football career, Charlie West made note of the strong points in the various systems with which he came in contact. Out of these observations he has evolved the system that he is instituting at Howard, and the one which Livingstone's eleven will be called upon to face today.

MAGIC
By successfully holding their line through nine serious threats of the A. and T. Aggies, here last Saturday, the Lincoln Lions held the 1927 C.I.A.A. champions to a scoreless tie in the opening game of the 1928 grid season. The game was played in a downpour of rain and on a football field stopping wet from 12 hours of previous rainfall. Both teams fumbled frequently. Lemar's inability to handle a wet ball kept his team in continual danger during the first period. Lincoln got no chance to show an offensive. The entire game was played in Lincoln's territory and the Lions, as soon as they got possession of the ball, were forced to kick it to their opponents.

TIGERS HELD TO TIE IN OPENING GAME
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Ideal weather, anxious fans, and curious visitors greeted the Tuskegee Tigers in the initial game of the season in the Alumni Bowl, Friday afternoon, when they battled the husky Garnet and Blue team of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., to a nothing to nothing score.
The game was characterized on both sides by hard playing and an eagerness which caused a few penalties such as might be expected in an early game. The visitors were elated to be the first college team to hold the Tigers to a nothing-nothing score in the Alumni Bowl in four years. The absence of the P. Smith-Tadlock-Stevenson combination from the Tiger eleven was noted, but the Champion-Wylie, L. Smith-Harrison machine showed favorable promise for hard hitting and effective playing.
POSTPONE GODFREY'S FIGHT WITH ROBERTI
NEW YORK—Because of the illness of Roberto Roberti, the bout between the Italian heavyweight and George Godfrey, scheduled for Wednesday night at Ebbets Field, has been postponed. October 15 being set as a tentative date pending Roberti's recovery.

REVIEW
Mystery of the Ferocious Tiger-Rinky Dink Conquest
Nine or more youths, ranging between the ages of 8 and 12 years, and about one-fifth of the roster of the Georgetown Ferocious Tigers Juniors baseball team marched into the office of the Washington Tribune, Monday afternoon. "We want to know how much it gonna cost us to put this in the paper," they said in a single voice and breath.
Talking to the sport editor himself, they informed him that it was the report of a baseball game they had played with the Cedar Heights Rinky Dinks. No, I'm a little ahead of my story, it was two games in one, but that didn't matter, since the Ferocious Tigers had won both of them. The games were played on a field which was described as was the position of the American Expeditionary Forces during the recent World War—"somewhere in Georgetown."
At any rate, the team which was not from Cedar Heights emerged the victor, and contrary to custom and what you're probably thinking, the Rinky Dinks were not chased home. Instead, they were invited by the Ferocious Tiger management to come up to the club house, just back of Old Man Finkleestein's grocery and dry goods store for a test of the bewhiskered Mr. Fink's apples and grapes, but the visitors apologetically declined and departed.
When informed that the insertion of the article would cost them nothing, those Ferocious Tigers on hand showed an amount of unbounded surprise, with which they launched into an explanatory complex which carried them far into the sport editor's lunch time. After telling all about the game, or rather games, the Jungalers (if I may drop the adjective for a moment) then turned the following version of how a box score should be made out:

bors of the office force who had learned, in their school days, a little about Greek, the sport editor undertook the task of unravelling the "Mystery of the Ferocious Tiger-Rinky Dink Conquest." By the process of elimination the conclusion was reached that whenever the Rinky Dink batters did not get out they got base hits, and whenever the Tiger batters failed to hit they got out.
The difference between the two Lawrences (spelt otherwise by the reporters) was that one was named Colbert and the other Williams, but that mattered little since the same conclusion could be reached by spelling one with a "ce" and the other with an "se" and by capitalizing one and ignoring capitalization in the other.
Analization brought out that instead of "Lorense" being the first one to be hurt as might be construed, he was the first catcher for the Tigers and had to retire after being injured. The runs we inserted "just so."

"BEAT BLUEFIELD" IS SLOGAN AT 'FORGE
"Beat Bluefield" is the slogan as Coaches Graves and Corruthers are rounding the "Force" squad into form for the tilt of October 6, with Bluefield Institute, which will formally open Wilberforce's 1928 grid campaign. Great concern is manifested as to the outcome of this combat since Bluefield is known to possess great potentialities with her "Wonder Team" of last season virtually intact while the "Force" team is an unknown quantity.
Due to the lack of veterans the starting lineup for the Bluefield game can hardly be determined at this time, but when the starting whistle sounds it seems that there will be a practically new and unseasoned team to face the West Virginians.
Good Singing at Howard - - "Night of Mystery" and All-Talkie Here
MUSIC DRAMA
CRYORTAKES HONORS AT HOWARD
Youth with Tricky Voice Shares with Geneva Washington and Jack Johnson
WIGGINS ON BILL
If you slipped in the Howard Theatre just as Jessie Cryor began to sing "Blue Heaven," and were called out the moment he finished, you would have no kick coming, you would have gotten your money's worth.
Jesse has a way about him and a voice that is hard to describe. He does tricks with it.
The offering is called "Sugar Cane," the reason for the name is a deep, dark mystery to me, as there is no attempt at a plot to justify its use.
There is however a bit of sweetness oozing through that you'll like. One lump is Marie Williamson, who is given entirely too little to do, for the manner in which she does what she does.
Harvey James, who swears he is a local boy, has personality plus, but like Sweet Marie isn't given much of an opportunity to sell his wares.
Andrew Fairchild, John Jenkins, and Kid Piedmont are three of the world's best comedians. They manage to get a few laughs out of the oldest bunch of jokes I have heard for many a day. If you like dancing, as dancing should be done, you'll be rather fond of Jack Wiggins, who has educated feet and two educated hats
Geneva Washington
One of the best prima donas appearing on the Majestic Circuit is with the company. She is Geneva Washington. She is captivating until she sings the blues. While she sings blues much better than most blues singers sing blues, her voice is much too fine to be wasted on that sort of thing.
Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson, the ex-heavyweight champion of the world is also in the bill for some inexplainable reason. As an actor Mr. Johnson is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the world has ever seen. He has one redeemable feature. He doesn't use lip stick or rouge. The act is, however entertaining, thanks to the young man in the dirty underwear who works opposite him. If you have an evening to spend, "Sugar Cane" is well worth the investment.
SHOW GOES BANKRUPT
"Runnin' Wild," under the management of Miller and Slater closed suddenly in Los Angeles, Cal., at the Mason Theatre owing $1,766 to performers among whom were Lottie Gee and Edith Spencer, $743; Broomfield and Greeley, $845; Marion Gee, $97; Juliet Tureaud, $63, and Billie Clark, $17.
ETHEL WATERS BANKRUPT
New York was startled Wednesday to learn that its favorite, Ethel Waters, appeared in the Federal Court there and applied for an application for voluntary bankruptcy stating that her liabilities amounted to $148,000 and her assets, $40, the total amount of money in her possession at that time.
TO MAKE RECORDS
Geneva Washington, prima dona of "Sugar Cane," will be given an opportunity to register her voice on records upon her return to New York after her tour, Sam N. Kunhn, manager of the show, stated.
LOCAL BOY HERE
Harvey James, a dancer, with the "Sugar Cane" Company, is a Washington boy and completed the high schools here. He is well liked by New York critics for his clean cut appearance and likeable personality.
HENDERSON WITH MODELS
John Henderson is slated to do some catchy solo work with Irvin Miller's Brownskin Models, that is being groomed into shape for their fourth annual season, and will open here next week.
WITH "GOIN' HOME"
Burnett and Bailey, two clever comedians, are making a hit in "Goin' Home," now playing the Masque Theatre on Broadway.

Wells and Mordecai, a nifty dancing team, is a feature in the floor show at Connie's Inn.

JACK JOHNSON LATE
Several patrons left the matinee and demanded their money back at the Howard Theatre, Monday, when Jack Johnson was late putting in his appearance after being delayed while motoring here from Philadelphia.

Ada Brown, the wagon load of personality, is doing the week between the State theatre, Pontiac and the Capital theatre, Flint, Mich.
SCORNIA
Layard and Johnston still a riot in Europe, are hitting this week at the Empire theatre, Swansea, Provincial England.
DANCING CHAMPION
BEGAN AT 7 YEARS
Jack Wiggins, who holds a number of cups and medals, which he won in competitive dance contests, which also won him the title of champion tap dancer of the world, started at the age of seven. Wiggins, from a distance looks like a boy, but close examination reveals a fringe of gray around the roots of his hair. He admits that he is 42.
Father Also Dancer
Wiggins is a native of Edenton, N.C., where his father was a minstrel and a dancer. He found his way to New York where he appeared at Madison Square Garden, the Palace, and the Hippodrome where he appeared against the world's leading dancers.
Condemns Modernists
Wiggins condemned the acrobatic dances of the present stage as dangerous. The knee drop and other sensational twists and turns, he branded as unsafe, because they have been known to ruin performers who sprained themselves or broke their knee caps. Dancing, he said, is something that should be done with the feet and not with the whole body.
Praises Bill Robinson
Wiggins praised the work of "Bo-jangles" Bill Robinson, stating that he was one of the greatest dancers in the world today. He also spoke highly of Eddie Rector, of the team of Rector and Cooper.

DOWN THEATRICAL LANE
By JACK LYTELL
There is much discussion in musical circles about the advent of the Vitaphone and the exit of the theatre orchestra. Gentlemen of talent are deeply concerned about the affect the canned symphonies are having upon their meal tickets.
The immediate effects of the Vitaphone are disastrous, to say the least, upon contemporary musicians, but it has future possibilities that justify its existence.
Never before in the history of the theatre was it possible for the masses to get the brand of entertainment that they now receive through the Vitaphone.
The opera was far removed from the ears of the man in the streets. The blatant jazz of overnight musicians is being replaced by the finest of symphonies and with the change there is being cultivated unconsciously in the hearts of common folk an appreciation for higher things that could be cultivated through no other agency.
The next generation will be greatly advanced in culture because the present generation is being slowly lifted to a higher plane. We welcome the Vitaphone.—J. L.

WRITER SEES PREVIEW OF "LIGHTS OF NEW YORK"
By Jack Lytell
Theatre men, stage hands, ticket takers, ticket takers' wives and a lone newspaper man stole into the Lincoln Theatre late Wednesday night after the movie fans were snug in their beds and got a pre-engagement peek at "Lights of New York," the first all-talking moving picture which will be shown there next week.
It takes but two words to describe the product of human genius they are "synchronized perfection." Warner Brothers have corralled into one picture undoubtedly the best speaking artists in Hollywood. There are only four or five subtitles throughout the whole hour and a half of entertainment, which eliminates the annoyance of the guy who likes to read the subtitles out loud. The play deals with America's most noble industry, "bootlegging." There are two murders, one of

which you will thoroughly enjoy even though you are against capital punishment. It's the villain and you can hate a villain so much more wholeheartedly when you hear him talk.
There are kisses that resound so realistically that we bachelor fellows there grew envious. There is nothing mechanical about the portrayal. The actors move and speak and act with a naturalness that almost makes you want to slip around to the stage door to watch them come out. "Synchronized perfection" and "Lights of New York" are synonymous terms. I wouldn't miss it if I were you.

Abounding in adventure, suspense, thrills and romance, "Hot News," is a story dealing with the exploits of a news reel camera girl who steps into her father's business at a crucial moment and saves him from ruin by "scooping" the other newsreel services at every hand. The climax of the picture is one that is warranted to give the most blase movie-goer a thrill. Neil Hamilton is Miss Daniels' leading man in "Hot News."
On Thursday and Friday, October 11 and 12, the feature attraction will be Tom Mix in his newest picture, "Silver Valley." From horseman to aviator is quite a jump, but Mix in this new production portrays an aviator, "Silver Valley" tells of a cowboy who took to flying and met with new adventures in the air more thrilling than any he encountered on the range. Mix doesn't abandon Tony, his wonderful horse. On the contrary he uses him in one of the most daring rescue scenes ever filmed. Entirely new Vitaphone acts will he shown throughout the week.

MENJOU'S BEST PICTURE
Remember several years back when they used to sing "Beautiful Woman Need Beautiful Clothes?" Well, those days have gone forever. No modiste could add or detract from the undraped form of beautiful Blanche Thompson who will appear with Irvin C. Miller's Brown Skin Models at the Howard Theatre next week.
There are dozens just like Blanche in the 1926 edition of "Models" in which Mr. Miller essays to glorify the Brownskin girl.

Masonic Mass Meeting
The mass meeting held last Sunday afternoon at Scottish Rite Temple under the auspices of the Masonic Temple Drive Committee was well attended by members of the Order. An interesting musical and literary program was rendered which included vocal and instrumental solos by Mrs. Florence Brown, recitations by Mrs. Josephine Butts, vocal solos by Mrs. Maude G. Jones, and recitations by Mrs. Sadie Nash and her little daughter. Gustave G. Hoehler, president of the Loehler Construction Company, was present and gave an interesting talk on some of the features of the new temple at Tenth and U streets. Grand Master Charles P. Ford, Grand Matron Daisy Booker, and others, also addressed the meeting.
Knights of St. John
Over five hundred Washingtonians journeyed to LaPlata, Md., last Sunday, to participate in the annual field day of the Knights of St. John, held under the auspices of the Baltimore Grand Commandery. A loving cup, awarded as first prize in the ladies' competitive drill, was captured by the drill team of Auxiliary No. 73, of St. Cyprian's Church. Mrs. Ivy Lancaster is captain of the winning team, and Mrs. Mary F. Diggs its sergeant. The boys' sanctuary choir of St. Augustine's Church sang the field day benediction. Daniel R. Spriggs, grand commander, is a resident of this city.

You don't have to wait weeks for results, either! Your hair will be surprisingly softer and smoother with the first appliation.
