Smith-Vare Decision May Bar Oscar DePriest Two Brothers Are Shot in Crap Game Altercation UNDER the Dome of the CAPITOL Members of Walter Reed Post No. 284 Veterans of Foreign Wars condamned the method of teaching American history in the District and started a movement to bring about reform. The Soldiers contend that history as now taught invites the censure of our late allies by failing to mention the part European countries have played in the development of America. Reform, like charity, should begin at home. The veterans should raise a howl over the practice of American historians, of eliminating the part their black comrades played in the nation's wars. Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, sounded a warning last week against the dangers of carbon monoxide generated by automobiles. The gas is odorless and colorless and can poison the air in a few minutes he declares. The hot air and gas being let off by political campaign speakers is also dangerous and pollutes the air. This gas, like carbon monoxide, is also colorless, but not odorless. Many of the speakers have halitosis. * * * * * A local paper carried the following bit of history: "Cincinnati startled the country by putting the first bathtub into use in 1842. Physicians criticized it. Newspapers prined editorials for and against it. Medical men said the shock of taking regular baths would be dangerous. "Virginia legislators tried to stop the spread of the devilish idea by sticking a $30 tax on each tub. Boston prohibited baths except upon medical advice. In Philadelphia there were a sufficient number of radicals to defeat by two votes an ordinance that would have made baths illegal between November and March." That was 86 years ago but apparently a large number of people haven't become wholly reconciled to the new contraption yet. A local Baptist pastor speaking at the Baptist Ministers' Conference Monday declared that when he was converted he could not eat for seven days nor sleep for seven nights. When the spirit moved him it felt as though life was shooting out of his finger-tips and as though he had been released from a straight jacket. That was 50 odd years ago he declared. Evidently converting sinners was something like breaking horses in those days. Heaven doesn't use such drastic measures these days. 17-Year-Old Youth Held in Gun Play in Which Pair Were Wounded ONE IS SERIOUS The shooting of two brothers, Russell and Corbin Lindberg, both of 1217 Fourth street, northwest, marked the end of a dice game, last Sunday night. Russell was shot in the abdomen, and his condition was said to be serious, by Emergency Hospital physicians. Corbin, who was wounded in the hip, is expected to recover. Headquarters Detectives J. C. Cox, and John Wise arrested Alphonso Hill, 17 years old, of 2220 Flagler place, northwest, and charged him with the shooting. Hill was arraigned Monday before Judge John P. McMahon, and held for the action of the grand jury in bond of $5,000. WOMAN WHO WENT ON RAMPAGE JAILED When Lena Adams, 712 Pleasant court, southeast, started throwing half-gallon jars, last Saturday afternoon, she meant to miss no one, according to the story told by James and Hattie Carter, of 210 L street, southwest, in Police Court, Monday. Two of the jars, hurled, landed on the man, and a third struck the woman on the head. Miss Adams declared that Carter and his wife came to visit. But no sooner had the man entered the room in which she was lying on a couch, she stated, he attempted to take a batch of money from her stocking, thinking she was asleep. This, according to her story, aroused her ice, and she began her attack with the jars. Judge John P. McMahon sentenced Miss Adams to 60 days in jail.

Vare D Mas Vol. VIII, No. 21 WAS 300 CL PIANIST IS HEROINE OF MOVIE FIRE Nerve of Pretty Entertainer Saved 300 Children as Flames Halt Matinee DAMAGE $3,000 Miss Beulah Boyle, 809 Third street, pretty pianist of the Favorite Theatre, became the heroine of a $3,000 fire that damaged the movie house, Saturday, as she sat quietly at her post and played an exit march while an audience of 400 composed mostly of children, walked unhurt out of the auditorium. The fire broke out in the projection room of the theatre which is located at 64 H street, northwest, during the matinee. It was thought that the operators had quenched the flames and the show continued until a passerby noticed that the flames had in some manner spread to the roof. An alarm was sounded and pandemonium reigned until Miss Boyle requested that all leave the theatre quietly as she played a march. The children were delivered to the street unhurt. The damage was confined to the projection room and two high priced projectors were put out of commission when a fire hose bursted. The theatre which is owned by Nathan Horn, white, was forced to suspend business for the current week.

BOY GETS HI HONOR AT OHIO U. P. Bernard Young, Jr., Appointed Managing Editor of the Ohio State University Daily By John Fuster COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct.—Unusual recognition has come to a Negro in the appointment of P. Bernard Young, Jr., to the office of managing editor of the Ohio State Lantern, student daily paper at Ohio State University, adjudged as the best college daily in the country last spring during Journalism Week at Baylor University in Texas. It is thought that this is the first time such an honor has come to a student of color in a mixed college and is the first time such an executive position has been awarded to a colored youth at Ohio State. Young is a senior in the School of Journalism. Young is the son of the editor and Mrs. P. B. Young, of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide.

Undertakers Find Alleged Dead Girl Very Much Alive Campaign Dope Youth Admits He Framed Hoax to Keep From Losing Job After Absence The weird story of how his wife had been pronounced dead and then came to life again upon the arrival of the undertaker, which caused a furor among scientists, newspapers and physicians all over the city proved to be a hoax, when John F. Payne, 18, 1956 Second street, admitted that he had framed the story to keep from losing his job, Saturday. Payne, who is employed as a janitor at the Columbia Exchange of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, in order to cover up an absence of two days told his employers that his wife was dead and he gave the name of Dr. C. E. Tignor as the attending physician. Wife Much Alive Kenneth Blackburn, an assistant at the undertaking establishment of John T. Rhine, upon calling for the body found the wife very much alive. Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, 43, 123 Thomas street, declared that although the wife, Mrs. Emma Payne, had been ill, there was no thought of her being seriously so. PORTER SEEKS TO CONTROLE E. TENN. Movement in Organizing Voters Seen as Defiance To Bob Church KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—The feud between Bob Church and Webster Porter, editor of the East Tennessee News, for political control took a new turn this week when Porter organized a group of leaders in his section to work without pay. Porter in a public statement declared: "The Negro leaders . . . . are going to take the situation out of the hands of these professional politicians and ward healers, and they are going to contend for recognition and representation in managing the campaign affairs of nation, state and municipality, without requesting reward in the form of money, but their action will be based on principle." Porter was discussing the alleged practice of campaign managers buying a few Negro leaders who, in turn, told the others how to vote. The Louisville, Kentucky News published a letter from the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan on the campaign issues. Excerpts follow: "Smith's record on the Negro question is ten times blacker than that of Hoovers, and of course it is needless for me to say that I intend to vote for the Republican electors. They will be the Lily White electors, not the Perry Howard electors. "There is no comparison. It is a question of country, and I expect to stay with the country in opposition to the alien-controlled, Rome-ridden, Negro-loving, rumselling Tammany gang. The Smith forces are going to seek to force us all to vote for Smith on the Negro question, and that little bubble will all be junctured and FOUR DROWN IN BAPTISING WHITE CASTLE, La.—A Negro baptising ceremony in the Mississippi River ended in the death of four persons yesterday when Pastor A. M. Lockett lost his footing and dragged the man he was immersing to the bottom with him. Two others were drowned attempting a rescue. Hundreds of other people lined the bank at the time waiting their turn at immersion. KILLS WOMAN WITH FISTS Argument Ends Fatally When Woman Strikes Head on Pavement LOVER HELD Too much "hop liquor" is said by police to have been the cause of the killing of Ada Contee, 35 years old, of 472 K street, southwest, last Saturday night, by her lover, James Henry Butler, a roomer at the same address. According to the story police obtained from eyewitnesses, Butler and Miss Contee were returning home from a "hop" or house dance which they had attended in Howison street. Both were in an intoxicated condition. An argument, which had started at the entertainment ended abruptly when Butler struck Miss Contee, and the latter fell to the ground. The head of the woman struck the sidewalk, and she lay still. Butler then dragged her into a nearby shoe repair shop and attempted to wash and treat the wound. Realizing that she was not about to regain consciousness, Butler placed Miss Contee in an automobile and carried her to Emergency Hospital. On arrival there, Miss Contee was pronounced dead by Dr. C. J. McCarthy. At the inquest, Monday, Butler was ordered held for the action of the grand jury. ENGINEER BURNED E. P. McGinn, 57, 2218 Park street, was burned by hot water at his place of employment.

In a debate here last week he declared: "There are three reasons why we should vote for Smith; first, because man for man, Smith is the more deserving; second, the day when the Negro feels that he owes the Republican party something has passed; third, when we vote for Smith we vote for tolerance." VARE'S FATE MAY AWAIT DEPRIEST Many Barred from Congress Seat Because of Moral Turpitude Records Show INDICTMENT CAUSE By Louis R. Lautier In the event of the election of Oscar DePriest, Republican nominee for Congress from the 2nd congressional district of Illinois who has been indicted by a special grand jury in Chicago in connection with vice and gambling conditions and their relations to election frauds, the House of Representatives will have presented to it for determination a current political controversy that has been the subject of heated debate on the floor of the Senate.

Term Man Who Smashed Window To Obtain Summer Headgear Draws Long Sentence STRANGE RULING Chief Justice Walter L. McCoy, sitting in District Supreme Court, last Saturday, ruled that the breaking of a store window, late at night for the purpose of gaining possession of a straw hat on display there, constituted house-breaking, and he consequently sentenced George W. Briscoe, the offender, to seven years and six months in the penitentiary. Briscoe saw the hat in the show window of a store at 623 Seventh street as he passed it, July 1, last. He crashed the window with his heel, but before he could reach the coveted headgear the attention of a passerby was attracted by the noise of the breaking glass and he gave chase. Briscoe was caught a short distance away. He admitted smashing the window, but claimed he only wanted the hat. CARRIES OFF LIQUOR AS AGENTS WATCH Members of Sergeant O. J. Letterman's liquor squad had injury done to their dignity, when during a raid on the premises at 1033 Thirtieth street, northwest, last Sunday night, they were forced to watch their prey, a woman of middle age, disappear down Thirtieth street, with the evidence, a half-gallon jar of liquor, under her arm. The woman evidently saw the officers as they entered the rear yard. No liquor was found in the house, but 96 quarts of alleged corn whisky was discovered in a cleverly concealed trap in the back yard. The trap was constructed below what appeared to be a drain, and was covered by a grating. MUSIC DRAMA FORMS HOWAR FACES, FORMS COSTUMES AT J. HOMER TUTT, veteran straight man, who takes a leading role in "Deep Harlem," Earl Dancer's new show which plays at the Howard Theatre next week. in spite of the fact that she must complete with such favorites as Blanche Thompson and Eva Metcalf. The cast includes John Henderson, Michael Sherod, who do the singing; George Crawford and Harrison Blackburn, Helen Stewart, Teddy Johnson, Willie Brown, Maudina Brown, Charles Salters and Wells and Wells, novelty acts. The settings are elaborate, too much so in fact, for the entertainment actually produced. Dancing Good There are many, all too familiar sketches, that make Mr. Miller's "Models" lack the originality of previous years. But if you like dancing that is fast and furious and like your chorus ladies naughty, naked and nice. "Models of 1928" is about the best eyeful you'll get this season. HOWARD THEATRE One Week Begin. Mon. Oct.15 NUDITY IS IN VOGUE AT HOWARD Miller's "Models" Good to Look at But Not So Much To Listen To DANCERS SCORE Running true to form Irvin C. Miller, brought a bevy of pretty girls to town with him in his Brown Skin Models of 1928 now at the Howard Theatre. Some girls sing, others dance and still others just stand around and wear clothes, but they all look good. The presentation, like most presentations in which the producer picks his chorines to please the eye rather than the ear, suffers from a lack of good music. Broadway Glimpses The revue has many snatches of Broadway shows sandwiched in between the songs which you'll probably enjoy if you haven't seen its original. If you know your Broadway you will see that Mister Miller's immitations suffer by comparison. For instance, if you know your Broadway, you will recognize the blues medley as a part of "Blackbirds" and that they in turn are giving a traversity on "Porgy." You'll also recognize the bit about the old soldier and the statue of Booker T. Washington as Chic Sales' bit entitled, "He knew Lincoln" in another Broadway show.

NEW YORK.—"The Low Down" is the successor to the "Charleston" and "Black Bottom," and melancholy "blues" songs, once all the rage among Negro entertainers is fast becoming a thing of the past, so declares O. O. McIntyre, white, New York columnist, in a recent release through the Hearst papers. McIntyre, who is said to know New York, and especially Broadway, better than any other man, gives a review of the rise of colored entertainers during the past ten years. Remarkable Strides Few are conscious of the remarkable strides the Negro has made in the theatre in the past few years.

It became a rage and made the two colored sponsors a neat sum. Florence Mills Wistful Florence Mills with her flashing jet niack eyes then appeared in a cabaret revue over the Winter Garden, and Broadway society packed the place. Her subsequent stardom in an all-colored show on Broadway and later triumphs in London and Paris are now theatrical history. Two on Broadway Two brown skin shows had long runs on Forty-second street this season, appearing cheek by jowl with the best theatrical offerings. One was the dramatic and poignant "Porgy," which came back for a return engagement, and the other was Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928." New Stars Found The latter brought out Aida Ward, called the successor to Florence Mills, and Adelaide tHall, another dusky singing sensation. Also Bill Robinson, an ebony tap dancer, whose nimble feet lifted him out of a cheap vaudeville to a star commanding $1,400 a week. To see him tap dance up a pair of stairs is a grand treat. Paul Robeson Paul Robeson is another distinguished actor coming out of what is known as the Smoke Era. There are a dozen cabaret revues in Harlem bringing nightly white audiences from downtown. What is impressive is the enthusiasm of the colored performer for the job. Blond Chorines Most Negro chorus girls are really octeroons and could pass for white in white shows. Some comedians are so light they wear burnt cork. There are also chorus girls with blonde and red hair, and all hair is straight. "The Low Down" The successor to the "Black Bottom" dance is christened "The Low Down" and is a sensuous shiver executed chiefly with a flutter of the hips. A dancing master describes it as a "tremble and a jerk." It combines the suggestive features of both the Charleston and the Black Bottom and is pretty terrible. Blues Are Out It is also noticed melancholy "blues" songs have almost completely lost their wallop. Several "blues" singers received fabulous salaries and were featured in every revue. Today scores of them are "at liberty." 7th and T Sts. Northwest Phone, North 5224 Reviews Must Talk Songs The vogue among singing entertainers now are those who talk their songs and give it a melodramatic punch at the finish.

SISSLE FLIES TO LONDON BANQUET LONDON, Eng.—Noble Sissle, well known American entertainer and late partner of Eubie Blake flew from Paris to London by aeroplane to be on hand at a banquet given in honor of Walter Richardson, tenor, who opened with "Virginia" at the Palace Theatre here last Monday. Sissle, who is conducting a white orchestra flew back in time to fill his Parisian engagements. A. "Virginia" is a story of American life and Mr. Richardson is the only colored member of the cast. Greenlee and Drayton, Paul Robeson, Layton and Johnson, Alberta Hunter, the Four Harmony Kings, Marian Anderson, Johnny Nit and Noble Sissle staged a banquet debate. HONEY BROWN MAY GET "HALLELUJAH" LEAD NEW YORK. (CNS)—The race is on today between Honey Brown, a petite damsel who sings nightly at the Harlem Club, and Josephine Hall, another brown-skinned beauty who trips the light fantastic at the Cotton Club, for the leading feminine role in King Vidor's new all-Negro picture, "Hallelujah!" Vidor scoured Hollywood and Chicago for the types his script requires. He met with no success. One day's search in Harlem convinced him that the Negro metropolis of the world held the types he sought.

JOHN BARRYMORE IS LINCOLN ATTRACTION At the Lincoln Theatre beginning Saturday, October 13, John Barrymore in the "Temptest" will be shown. Rich in romance and with John Barrymore giving the finest performance of his illustrous screen carer, "Temptest" is crammed with action and humor, from the opening of the story, when the star is a peasant officer plunged into the gay life of pre-war Russia, to the final scenes, where he rescues his sweetheart and escapes with her to a new life of happiness. The story is original and the work of the supporting cast exceptional. Those who like romance will revel in the love scenes played by the star and his beautiful leading lady, Camilla Horn. Barrymore himself never had a more powerful-role than the one in "Temptest." As a peasant soldier, dashing officer, lover, prisoner, he imbues his characterization with the fire and sincerity of his unrivalled, histronic ability. Among the players are Louis Wolheim, Georget Fawcett, Ulrich Hanpt, Doris De Fas and Lena Mollna. You will enjoy "Temptest."

TWO YEARS FOR TWO PORK CHOPS BOSTON (CNS)—On the very day that New York State released Mrs. Florence Knapp from her thirty-day vacation in the Albany County penitentiary, where she was sent for misappropriating more than $15,000 in State funds, the city of Boston sentenced John Flanagan, Negro chef, to two and a half years at hard labor for the awful crime of "misappropriating" two pork chops from his employer. SAVES MAN WHO CUT HER Preston Jones, 28 years old, living at 335 M street, southwest was saved the necessity of an arrest and arraignment when Ruth Alexander, 20 years old, of 308 L street southwest, whom he cut on the right hip, last Sunday night, told police that the cutting was "purely accidental." According to the woman's story, ELEVEN Theatre Jones simply pulled the knife out at a party to show it to Viola Cook, a girl friend. When Jones started to show the knife to Viola, the woman knocked his hand down, and the blade of the open knife as it fell, put a deep gash in Miss Alexander's hip. WIFE GETS BLOW MEANT FOR HUBBY When Julia Honesty, 1619 Sumner court, northwest, ran in between her husband, Robert, and Edgar Whiting, a roomer, during an argument between the two men last Saturday night, the woman caught a half-gallon jar, meant for her husband; flush on the head, and consequently sustained lacerations of the scalp. The argument is said to have started over rent, which Whiting is alleged to owe the Honestys, but which the former denies any knowledge of. Whiting told Judge John P. McMahon that his aim was bad, due partly to a few drinks that he may have had. The court sentenced him to 30 days away from drinks and half-gallon jars.

Impression is always a lasting on side of the Negro be presen possible. This is the Negro's o Lady Winston Spencer Churchill, wife of the British chancellor, who is visiting this country, attended the annual convention of the American Legion Auxiliary, which met in San Antonio, Texas, this week. As guest of the Southern city, she was shown many of the principal sights. Naturally, a person of the prominence of Lady Churchill, would be sought by news photographers. On her tour of the city, she was persuaded by a photographer of the Associated Press, to pose with two little Negro children. One was a boy of possibly four years and the other, a girl, a little older. Innocent of the concealed sinister designs of the photographer, these children posed and so did Lady Churchill. The two children were bare footed, the little girl had her hair fixed in a Topsy-like manner. Neither of the children were properly dressed to pose with such a distinguished visitor, especially since the pictures were to be sent broadcast over the world. In view of the fact that there are in San Antonio hundreds of Negro children, who, in more ways than one, are typical of the culture and prosperity of the Negroes of that city, the question naturally arises,—"Why were two (apparently) street urchins secured to pose with Lady Churchill?" The reason is evident. The big news and photographic agencies have succumbed to the nefarious practice of propagandizing the Negro race in America as being a group of illiterate and hopeless people. Like their inspirators, the white supremacists, they miss no opportunity to show the worst side of Negro life and the most debased Negro characters to the world. This is done for the sole purpose of conveying the impression that the Negro in America is exactly as painted by these white supremacists. Possibly no other group in the world has suffered so much from this kind of misrepresentation as has the Negro in America. This insidious propaganda is not only carried on by the big news and photographic agencies, but playwrights, publishers, song writers and others are parties to it. It is largely because of this kind of misrepresentation that the Negro is finding in the North, East and West, more and more doors closed against him. The whispering campaign is not an invention of the anti-Smithites—it has been used against the Negro for years and it has effectively hampered his economic progress. The Negro race should not sit supinely by while its foes are so active, it should take cognizance of their activities and organize a campaign designed to off-set this dastardly practice. Whenever distinguished Europeans, or prominent people from other countries visit America, it should be the duty of some Negro organization to see that these visitors see the better side of Negro life here and get acquainted with some of the Negroes' achievements. The first impression is always a lasting one. Therefore, let the bright side of the Negro be presented wherever and whenever possible. This is the Negro's duty to himself.

If there is, can we educate people to it? Last Monday at the Howard Theater I witnessed what I called a very distasteful view of Negro psychology. Or just what we may expect if we go places that are frequented by the ignorant—those whose emotions tending towards brutishness are allowed a free rein. To me it was an answer to a question that has remained unsolved in my mind for many years. Why do white people bar Negroes from places of amusement? The answer is, because of this element in the race. In the book, "The Autobiography of An Ex-Colored Man," Mr. Johnson asks this question: why do white people take the uncouth and illiterate of the race as the yard stick of judgment? It is a fact and it must be faced by all of us. What can we do about it? We cannot bar these people because their patronage is needed. Is there not some way in which we can appeal to these folk and open their minds to the need of --- TWELVE FORUM --- Churchill, wife of the British is country, attended the annual Legion Auxiliary, which met in New.

I have always, and hope to always to believe that there is some good in all men; and that it can be brought out into relief if the right method is used to do it. I know that there are people who would be glad to attend the performances at the tHoward, but do not go, because of such things happening. The Howard management can prevent these things. But, gentlemen, we are not babies and we do not need guardians. This is simply a matter of co-operation. Let us as men give that assistance to those who are trying to give us all a chance to find amusement. For a man realizes he must take into consideration the rights, desires and aspirations of others. Now let us get down to brass tacks and do this thing in the right way. We can do it, without any hard feeling or malice.

But they, nor we, the patrons, can not realize success; without mutual assistance. Gentlemen, let us all do this little thing properly. I thank you. G. Ceasar Fray --- SASSAFRAS UDDS EZ — Every time I pick up a paper I see where this church or that is having some kind of a fight between the pastor and the members. It's getting so the hand that pounds the pulpit is just as uneasy as the head that wears the crown. Whatever troubles a king might have had, he didn't have to call the guy brother who was trying to kick him out of his job. It's pretty tough when a preacher is afraid to shut his eyes when he prays for fear the deacons will put something over on him. It takes a good pastor to keep his mind on heaven when his congregation is continually raising h—l. Some churches sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" because they are always thinking about fighting. They think the army of the Lord has to fight its way into heaven with brick bats. Everybody thinks he's got more religion than his neighbor, and will punch him in the nose to prove it.. When some church members apply at the gates of heaven St. Peter will search them to make sure they haven't got any black-jacks hidden under their robes. Some Christians are already experimenting to learn the most effective way to knock a guy stiff with a golden harp. When two rival factions meet before the golden throne, with their long white wings, feathers will fly until it will look like a snowstorm. It will keep the heavenly laundry busy washing their white robes after they finish mopping up the street with each other. The first thing some folks are going to do when they get inside the pearly gates is start looking for a gold brick. A lot of people won't get much rest in heaven for kicking each other out of bed. Even death can't knock all the devilment out of some folks. Some of the singers in the heavenly choir will get out of tune just for meanness. Then they'll argue with the choir master until he has to turn to another piece. If you don't allow them to start trouble they won't believe it's heaven. Some folks who pretend to have been baptized by the Father, Son and Holy Ghost will try to lick all three of them. If some folks don't like the way heaven is run they'll cause a split and start a heaven of their own. They won't be in good before they start agitation to vote St. Peter out of his job. If the election fails they'll get an injunction against him. Some folks think the right hand of good fellowship has a pair of steel knuckles on it. They love their neighbors as themselves, but don't even like themselves. No sooner will they get to heaven than they'll try to get Sampson to join their side. A guy can clean up a fortune selling jawbones of asses. Many men in the cemetery got there because they had more nerve than judgment. Experience you get out of failure is worth more than experience you get out of success. TREATED FOR SCALP WOUND Following his arrest for intoxication, Saturday, Luke Brown, 39 years old, of 6 East Capitol street, was taken to Casualty Hospital and treated for scalp lacerations.

OCTOBER 12. 1928 PAGE ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL The honorable Mr. Hesse and his co-workers whose duty it is to maintain law and order in the Capital, have become very unpopular in the northwest section because of their activities in the past two weeks. Mr. Hesse, you might recall is something dreadfully important in the police department and it is he, we understand, who directed the drive against the gentlemen who earn their bread by operating policy games, or lottery games, or numbers games, or whatever games these gentlemen operate illegally. Policemen, uninvited, unannounced and unsung, entered unceremoniously the establishments of these kings of chance and local grand juries had the audacity to indict them simply because they were making an honest living more or less dishonestly. Not the police, the raids, the indictments or Mr. Hesse, himself, will be the topic of discussion here, but the superstitions of the everyday folk who play the "numbers" game. Hoo doos, voo doos, rabbit feet, crow's feet, dreams, signs, everything has a definite meaning to the "numbers" addict. If he awakes in the morning at six o'clock, his wife by coincidence gives him six cakes for breakfast, he catches a number six car, and rides six blocks, arrives at work six minutes to eight, his mind is made up that six is the lucky number. The fact that there are 1,000,000 variations of sixes means nothing to him. He plays a six. At the end of the day regardless of whether the number is 600, 026, 750, or 666, and he had none of them he brags for a week that he was close to it, but he just could not visualize the combination. * * * * Another auxiliary evil of the following incident. A young man walked into a other night. He walked over to the enough tones for all to hear. "What?" he yelled in elation, berries. How's that? You're close me until the morning."

"Three hundred h—l," said the That was just a trick to get a loa the winning number and wrote it on a dozen barber shops before "But the telephone call," I said. "Oh, that," said the barber, "in a nickle, will it? That bird was "I think I'll take a shampoo," Another auxiliary evil of the numbers game is exemplified by the following incident. A young man walked into a barber shop about eight o'clock the other night. He walked over to the pay telephone and talked in loud enough tones for all to hear. "What?" he yelled in elation, "boy, you don't say. Three hundred berries. How's that? You're closed up? All right, just hold it for me until the morning." "Fellers," he said turning to the group, "my number just won and I am sitting on three hundred bucks, but my bookie is closed up for the night, and I can't collect until morning." He faltered for a moment, then continued, "Can any of you boys let me have a few dollars on this ticket until morning, I have a little run to make." "Big boy," said one, "if you are going to collect $300 in the morning, I'll let you have anything you want." Others felt the same way. The lucky winner borrowed what he wanted and left, inviting his benefactor to meet him first thing in the morning. "Pretty lucky chap," I said to the barber as the door closed behind him, "$300 isn't a bad win at all." "Three hundred h—l," said the barber, "he hasn't won a d—m cent. That was just a trick to get a loan. He looked in the paper and saw the winning number and wrote it on a slip himself. He will try that on a dozen barber shops before the night is over. "Oh, that," said the barber, "the phone won't work unless you drop in a nickle, will it? That bird was talking to himself." "I think I'll take a shampoo," I said, looking into silence.—R.M. KIDDIES' KORNER C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Vacation time or school time should invite young folks to improve their prospects by learning to earn and starting to save. A dime, a quarter, or half-a-dollar at a time may not seem like much but such sums soon "count up." Ways of making money differ widely in country and city but the general incentives are the same. Advanced education or training usually cost money. In beginning any career it's an immense advantage to have a reserve fund. The experience gained in saving it also helps a great deal. It's not aiming too high to set the grown-up mark at $1000 or even $5000. So it behoves most boys and girls to make their spare time productive. When you begin to earn some money at odd jobs, it's fine to put the pay on deposit and to have a bank book like a grown-up business man. If you have no bank in your school, put your money in a savings bank. NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA RIOT, MAIDEN LANE—In 1712 some runaway slaves set fire to a barn in an orchard just off Maiden Lane, New York, and in the riot which followed many slaves and slave owners were killed and wounded. Twenty-one slaves were captured by the militia. Some were hanged, some burned at the stake, some hung in chains, and some others were starved to death. As late as 1741 New York city was the scene of another riot. Fourteen Negroes were burned to death and eighteen were hanged. RUSKIN'S ADVICE TO GIRLS Resolve to do every day some work that is useful.

TO MY GRANDMOTHER By Mac Smith Johnson You 'mind me of the winter's eve When low the sinking sun Cast soft bright rays upon the snow And day, now almost done, In silence deep prepares to leave, And calmly waits the signal "Go." Your eyes are faded vestal lights That once the hearth illumed: Where vestal virgins vigil kept, And budding virtue bloomed Like stars that beam on summer nights, Your eyes, by joy and sorrow swept. Asleep, one night, an angel kissed Your hair and on the morn The raven threads were silv'ry gray; The angel fair had borne Your youth away ere it you missed And left old age to bless your way. Smile on, for when you smile, it seems I cannot do a wrong; Your smiles go with me all the while And makes life one sweet song; And oft at night my troubled dream Grows gay at thoughts of your bright smile. Dark Africa with Caucasian blood To tinge your veins combined, Your proud head bowed to slave- ry's thrall, Your hands to toil consigned.

Raskob of the Democratic national committee, Jack Johnson intends to continue his activities in behalf of the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic presidential nominee, the former world's champion heavyweight fighter let it be known here last Thursday. Mr. Johnson appeared here last week at the Howard Theatre as an added attraction to the "Sugar Cane" musical show. While here he was the guest of S. H. Dudley, former comedian and now a theatrical magnate, business man and sportsman. Organized Clubs In an interview, Mr. Johnson stated that he had worked independently organizing Smith-for-President clubs in Indiana and that he would resume his activities in behalf of Governor Smith whenever his engagements permitted regardless of what Chairman Raskob had to say about them. Not Hunting Money "It is not a matter of my hunting money in politics, or of my hunting a concession," he said. "But some of our leading men have got to get out and make an open campaign for justice and the men they believe will do the race most good," he added. He expressed the belief that Governor Smith is the best man from the colored voters' viewpoint. Not Whole Party Mr. Johnson stated that Mr. Raskob is not the whole Democratic party. "When I go to New York," he said, "I am going to call on him in person." DANIEL MAY STAY AT CATHOLIC SCHOOL The board of trustees of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, at Ridge, Md., at a meeting here last Monday evening, decided to give Mr. and Mrs. Victor Daniel, principal and assistant principal, respectively, another opportunity.

Mrs. White is now a teacher of domestic art in the elementary schools. Pickens Says U. S. Bars Negro Migrants to Brazil NEW YORK (C.N.S.)—Charges that the United States Government, while refusing to do anything for the Negro, was yet trying to prevent American Negro citizens from going to Brazil, Mexico and other southern countries, were made yesterday by William Pickens, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The charges were based partly on the difficulties encountered by James Robinson, of Chicago, who sailed for Brazil recently on a visa obtained in a Canadian city. He had been refused visas in Chicago, New York and Washington. NEGRO ENROLLMENT IN COL LEGES DOUBLED IN TEN YEARS The enrollment of Negroes in universities and colleges has increased six-fold and the number of institutions for the higher education of the Negro has more than doubled in the last ten years, according to a report made public last Friday by the Bureau of Education of the Interior Department after a survey of colored universities and colleges.

MINER NORMAL SCHOOL NEWS All of the clubs at Miner Normal have by this time begun their programs. The Social Service Club is busy collecting funds for the Florida Flood Relief, as well as to assist a worthy and needy family. Friday afternoon the Juniors from out of town were entertained with a social hour by the Middlers from out of town. This hour was a pleasing means of welcoming the students to the social life of the school. The cafeteria this year is under the management of a faculty committee, of which Mrs. Lisemby, Home Economics teacher, is chairman. The nutrition classes are studying specific phases of school feeding as a part of their course and a linking up with the cafeteria. Tuesday morning the students listened to an inspiring talk on "The Search for Truth," by Mr. L. Gregory, of the Bahai Movement. Friday, September 26, the faculty presented Miss Ada Hand a basket of dahlias as a token of its love and esteem and appreciation of her untiring service for forty-five years as a member of its corps. With Miss Hand's retiring, Miner Normal feels that it is losing a wonderful friend and co-worker. LOCAL DAILY EMPLOYS MORE THAN 200 As a reflection of the life of the national capital would be incomplete without one-fourth of the population the Washington Times, a local daily, employs more than 200 colored people in such departments as circulation, composing room, press room, mailing, editorial and executive offices. E. B. Saunders, formerly of the Armstrong High School, holds the post of branch manager and director of the colored carriers, with an office at 704 S street, northwest. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, of Armstrong High, is a member of the city editor's staff. The Times Boys' Club, under the sympathetic and character building program of Manager Saunders, helps the newsies to advance themselves in school and to engage in decent, instructive recreation out of hours. Last winter, meetings with the boys were held every Thursday evening at Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Basketball, indoor baseball and general athletic training, with talks on business methods and character traits, were provided. This winter's program is full of good things, and as the circulation increases, the increase in membership is provided for in new and life building agencies. Mr. Saunders says, being a reflection of human nature, a great newspaper must be human itself, and the Times wishes to overlook no element of the life of the people whom it reflects and serves. RED CROSS ACCUSED OF DISCRIMINATION NEW YORK (CNS)—Declaring that the Red Cross is practising the same discrimination against the Negro refugees in Florida and the West Indies as was practised by that organization in the Mississippi Flood relief situation, the Negro Workers Relief Committee, with national offices at 461 Lenox avenue, this city, has decided to make an independent distribution of relief in the hurricane zone. In a statement appealing to the Negro masses to rally to the aid of the Negro sufferers, the Negro Workers Relief Committee openly accuses the Red Cross of complicity with the State Government of Florida, the Chambers of Commerce and the Ku Klux Klan in that state, in using the militia to oppress and terrorize Negro refugees and in holding them in concentration camps, where they are forced to act as the servants of the white refugees and are refused relief aid unless they accept the degrading situation. The concentration camps, says the statement, are under the control of the Red Cross. Miller Buried From Rankin Chapel Funeral services for Isaac Newton Miller, son of Dean and Lirrs.

To have plenty of firm flesh and the ability to do a big day's work and feel "like a two-year old" at night, you must eat three good meals a day, relish your food and properly digest it. If you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work, just take a teapoonful of Tanlac before meals. Mr. J. Kundert, of 821-27th St., Newport News, Va., says: "Everything I ate disagreed with me and my weight kept going down. Within a month after starting Tanlac my stomach seemed like new! I gained all lost weight and energy and got rid of indigestion." Tanlac is wonderful for indigestion and constipation—gas, pains, nausea, dizziness and headaches. It brings back lost appetite, helps you digest your food, and gain strength and weight. It contains no mineral drugs; it is made of roots, barks and herbs, nature's own medicines for the sick. The cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get a bottle from your druggist. Your money back if it doesn't help.

Henderson Football and athletic ganies mean much more in the educa- tion of youth today than form- erly. Once they were endured because it was thought they ab- sorbed the energies otherwise used in brawis and smashing things, now the educator has found’ athletics useful in the scheme of education—especially are they found of value in the field of character building. Victories and defeats are not the essential ends of scholastic sports. Schedules are so arranged that a fair number of victories are possi- ble. Seldom is a team so weak as to lose all of the games of its schedule. Too many defeats are depressing from the educational angle but at the same time moral fibre is strengthened to stand the knock-downs in real life, and an all- victory feast is weakening. Life has its winnings and often as many defeats. The boys must learn to value both. Then, too, modern life requires team-play, co-operation, and loyalty to some one or some cause. If courage, team-play, loy- alty, and other commendable qual- ities meet with the decided approv- al of the coach, the school admin- istrator, and the school population, and if muckerism, poor sportsman- ship, foul play, meets with disap- ptobation strongly, the boy prac- tices inhibition of the bad traits, even though these may be more natural for him, and learns to do the things that meet with social approval. Thus athletics may be- come @ great molder of ideals and attitudes to prepare the boy for the real struggles of life. ‘Use of Leisure A great problem in society to- day is the proper use of leisure time. There is so much more of it in this day when machines do #0 much of the work of the world. crt spectator hep main nd et and spectator intain an oe. siytteal ef HA ‘The séveral millions who will sit in the open air eight or nine Saturday af- ternoons watching the see-sawing interests of the two teams on the gridiron, breathe fresh air and live part for the tine being from the porely ‘sordid matter o: making = living. In a country like ours this sort of aoe is almost as essential as réligion for the mass¢s, as well as the morons whose pleasures might otherwise be in the planning or pursuit of crime. | Character Formation The coach is the all important $e in this scheme of character formation. Alumni and education- al authorities ese the winning end game, is quickly passed by, and more the citizen-making phases of the sport, Tiggpative ‘perverseness of some lads se endocrine secre- tions are deficient or wrongly mixed badly, shows plainly in the tense moments of games. ‘The coach and official must evince disfavor in no uncertain terms to cause the boy of this tendency to inhibit it and do the thing that is best for himself and the group. It has been my observation that the boy on the team who continually beats the gun, slugs upder the pile, holds when he can, is going to em- Bey, ce such tactics later in life he preacher, teacher, or doctor. He will win’his bread ty the method he used to win his games. Today, however, the “grandstand” at the fight, the base- ball or football game wants sports- manship and frowns down the high- hatter, the non-mixer, the crook, the poor sport. My plea is for alumni and school men of the old school to consider the games of to- day in the light of the most modern educational objectives. | Drew and Watson My reason for writing is to call to your attention the splendid body of coaches who are endeavoring to uphold the ideals of the game to- day amidst tremendous handicaps, such as too much work, and pres- sure from well intending but often misguided alumni and administra- tors.

It therefore takes this occasion to in- vite to Kingman Park the people who appreciate good homes; that they might inspect the finest pro- Ject of its kind in this vicinity, and that they might enjoy the hospi- tality of Kingman Park. + Branson's Orchestra Music furnished by Branson's Orchestra, will take some of hum- drum routine out of just examin- ing the many features of these ‘truly’ remarkable homes. Then prizes, given at 6 and 9 pan, will liven things a bit. The holder of the lucky number at each. drawing ‘will receive $25 on the payment on a home: in ‘Kingham Park. But nothing could be added to the real value of these homes; the value is there, location, accessibility and future worth. Park Development ‘Aside from the fact that this community has new houses that are modern in every respect, that it has beautifully lanscaped front lawns, paved —side-walks, and streets, white-way electric lights, and all the fine appointments that add polish to a subdivision, the parking system that adjoins King- man Park will insure an advantage of location that will mean every- thing to a resident of this com- munity. We carry below a copy of parts of an article from a local daily paper, which discusses some of the park plans. These plans, to- gether with the assured widening of Bennings Road and the pro- posed River Side Drive that will run along the Anacostia River to connect with the Baltimore Pike, mean that future property values in Kingman Park are certain, Low Prices Homes in Kingman Park have been selling for $6,175. It is cer- tain that prices will advance in the very near future. This means that it will be worth the while of anyone paying rent to inspect these homes now. ‘This Poet, is located on ‘Twenty-fourth street, northeast, between E street and Bennings road (H St., N.E., continued) It is ten minutes by streetcar from the center .of the city.

Edwards to Try Out as Harrier for N.Y.U. With Phil Edwards, New York University middle distance run- ning star and Canadian Qlympic contender, still firm in his decision to try out for the Violet cross- country team, Coach Emil Von Ell- ing’s squad is looking forward to its most successful season. In past campaigns Von Elling has been enter Ee by the lack of an ace talented sufficiently to battle on even terms with the best in inter-collegiate cross-country. With Edwards trying to make the grade as a harrier, the Violet coach has just the man he has been look- ing for. Edwards was one of the leading half-milers in amateur and collegi- ate track last year. He gave Lloyd Hahn stiffer competition than any other runner in that athlete’s un- defeated campaign. Because he was born in British Guiana Edwards was ineligible to represent the United States in the Olympic Games. As a British sub- ject Edwards was able to run un- der the Canadian banners and saw service in the Olympics. He de- feted Hahn in’ the 800-meter Olympic race, finishing fourth in that event.

Insanity Epidemic Breaks Out in Bishop Grace's "House of Prayer" Here EIGHT ONE DEAD, 2 IN ASYLUM, OTHERSILL Churches In Southwest Being Drained of Members, Pastors Claim One person is dead and others are known to have lost their minds as a result of an epidemic of insanity caused by emotional strain which is following in the wake of the Bishop R. M. Grace, faith healer, who has been conducting services in a tent known as the "House of Prayer," at Second and M streets, southwest, for the past few months. One young man known as "Disciple" Richardson, succumbed after he had lost his mind while serving as a special deacon of the Bishop. More than 800 followers of the faith crowded the tent Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral. Queer rites were performed. John T. Rhine, who conducted the funeral, stated that the man's real name was Garfield Richardson, and that he lived at 1216 A Carrolberg street. Others Lose Minds Others are known to have lost their minds over the strange religion. Mrs. Josephine Maraney, 351 D street, northeast, was placed in the Gallager Hospital for the inane. Monday, by her children following outbursts over the religion. Two other men whose names could not be ascertained, are also said to be confined in the hospital after professing the new faith. Ministers Told The deplorable conditions existing in the southwest section were revealed to the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Monday, by the Rev C. D. Diggs, pastor of the Mt. Hope Baptist Church, who said that the smaller churches of that section were being drained of their membership by Bishop Grace. Are Going to Hell The Rev. W. Westray, pastor of Mt. Paran Baptist Church, in the same section, told Tribune reporters that the Bishop Grace was a menace to the community and the insane members were possessed of the devil and bound for hell. Bishop Grace declares that he has 90,000 converts between Washington and Atlanta, Ga., and collected two dollars to baptize each, and fears no man. Fear No Disease On certain Sundays each month, the new converts march from the tent to Buzzards Point, on the Anacostia River, to be baptized at two dollars a person. It made no difference that the water at this point is extremely unclean, infested by raw sewage dumped into it just below the Anacostia Bridge. But there is no fear in the hearts of the converts of contracting any disease, for the "bishop" is a divine healer. At his healing meetings, he displays stacks of discarded crutches, braces, and trusses. The applicant for the healing is sent off into a trance by some hypnotic influence, and oftimes remains unconscious from six to eight hours.

University Following P With Association Official Compromise in Offing Every year about this time a yell goes up in, around about, and too, out of town, that Howard University should effect a compromise with the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association; that both the Blue and White Institution and the association should brush aside the old and petty differences which keep them at each other's throats, and that—to come down to brass tacks—"bygones should be made bygones and they should be sweethearts again." Every year at the end of the athletic season a cry goes up from official quarters on the hill, about the great deficit experienced by the university in its conduct of competitive athletics. A certain amount of money, usually in figures of four or five units, is said to have been the loss from athletic activities alone. Every year the university officials keep these two things from conflicting. They avoid discussing the Howard-C.I.A.A. muddle and their financial loss in the same breath. And that "ain't no accident." But just like Jonah came out of the whale, and Daniel emerged from the lion's den, Howard will pull off her armor of ego, and the C.I.A.A. will don a coat of forbearance. We take this opportunity to make the first prediction since this columns' existence—Howard University will be a member of the C.I.A.A. before October 1, 1929. The reasons for our belief are sound and well grounded. The apparent dissolution of the American Collegiate Athletic Association, with the departure from Howard, of Louis L. Watson (the former president and founder), as well as the entrance into the C.I.A.A. of the North Carolina College (at which school the A.C.A.A. held its initial and organization meeting), will have its effect on the attitude of the local school. Then too the backwardness of Howard in her realization that the day for her as dictator in collegiate athletics is passed—in spite of her advancement in other respects—will tend to make the officials at the "hilltop" school wake up. The truth in the matter, which is that athletics among Negro colleges can never advance beyond a certain point without effective and co-operative organization, cannot help but be dawning on Howard. This, in addition to the inclination on the part of the student body toward voicing its own opinions in affairs of state, which include its utmost disapproval of the manner in which their superiors are "running" the extra-curricula activities for which they pay, must, in time serve to jab the needle point into the slumbering Blue and White officials. An indication that a definite move is on foot among Howard students to convince the arrogant officials that the interest of the undergraduates must be considered during this school term, will be found in the current issue of "The Hilltop," the student publication. An article by Glenwood E. Jones, president of the Student Council, reminds Howard students that in spite of the fact that they are students at Howard, nevertheless, they are men and women with their likes and their dislikes. Jones also shows that he as president of the Student Council means to exert his right as to freedom of speech. An extract from Jones' article follows: "Howard has had no real competitors in athletics since we withdrew from the C.I.A.A. (Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.)" "Howard should belong to this association so that we might enjoy seeing more of those hot spirited games that used to take place with Hampton, Petersburg, Union and any number of schools now of collegiate standing. By joining this association Howard would make possible: "1. Cutting the athletic traveling expenses in half by doing away with the long trips to Nashville, Georgia, etc., which require Pullman service and meal, on expensive dinners, etc. "2. Our competition would be more interesting—why go abroad when we have so many competitors within five to ten hours' riding that would be glad to play us if our officials would stop being so dogmatic. All of us are proud of Howard, but just because we are Howard does not mean that we can tell a league what it must do all together." "3. It would give our boys something to work for, knowing that they have a few short trips ahead—for one needs only to recall last year's baseball season. At that time only one trip to Storer College was possible, other schools made contracts and cancelled them in that they did not have the finance to back them. Lincoln was forced not to play us a second time or she would have been forced or dropped from the C.I.A.A. Then, again recall our track meets, they have been successful, yes, but no real competition was present. "The University states that we must pay our bills or fees, then we must demand that the university give us value for value as to the money that we pay into the office for athletics—not only in action on the field of play, but also in written form to be published in our student paper so that all may see what is being done with our money. "Understand that we do not mean to fight our university or its officials, but we are men and women in the process of training. Much is expected of us, therefore we must expect them to help us." Attempts Made to Iron Out C.I.A.A.-Howard Wrinkle Probable readjustment of relations between Howard University and the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association was the topic at a conference held last Saturday afternoon, in Carnegie Library. Among those who attended the conference were members of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, headed by E. P. Davis and Dr. B. M. Rhetta, president of Howard University Alumni Association; James M. Cater, chairman of the athletic committee of the Alumni Association; Linwood G. Koger, and Carl Murphy, both of Baltimore, members of the Alumni Association Special Athletic Committee, and E. P. Westmoreland, secretary-treasurer of the Interstate High School Athletic Conference. The gathering recommended and the Board of Athletic Control approved a memorandum to the C.I.A. officials, suggesting an attempt at a reconciliation. Previous to the Saturday meeting, President Mordecai W. Johnson has been in communication with Dr. W. G. Alexander, president of the association, and the correspondence which had passed between the two had been very amicable. An extract of the letter of Dr. Alexander to the Howard president follows: "As president of the C.I.A.A., I am suggesting that the president of Howard University, the president of Lincoln University, and the president of some school in the C. I.A.A., meet for an informal discussion of the matter.

Dr. Johnson Willing Expressing his desire to have the present difficulties overcome and a harmonious relationship established among these schools, President Mordecai Johnson, replying to Dr. Alexander says in part: "I am willing to take the steps suggested in your letter, namely to have a conference with the president of Lincoln University and the president of some school in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. This should be done, however, after all possible efforts have been made by the athletic bodies themselves to arrive at an understanding. The controversy between the two institutions is now four years old. It had its birth in 1924, when Robert Miller, a former student of C.I.A.A. school was used by Howard on its football team, in spite of the rules and protests of the association against the use of players who transferred from one school to another in the C.I.A.A. KNOXVILLE DOWNS KENTUCKY STATE KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-Knoxville College grid-men, under Coach Hawkins, downed the fighting football aggregation from Kentucky State here Saturday by a score of 12-0. --- Local Scholastic Grid Season Opens Today --- Dan Brown Hurt H. U. Smothers Livingstone as Marshall Stars Four Horsemen Rounded Out with Stellar Showing of New Jersey Lad. Simpson Also In Limelight In Initial Win HOWARD FOOTBALL SCHEDULE SALISBURG, N.C.—Another quartet of stellar ball-carriers, similar to those turned out at Howard University for the past three years, carried the Bisons to an overwhelming victory in their opening game in the 1928 gridiron season here last Friday. The final score was 32-0. Jack Coles, the inimitable, Captain "Hoss" Ross, Dan Brown, and "Wee Willie" Marshall, the New Jersey high school product in his first year of collegiate football, launched the Blue and White fall season by upholding, in every respect, the title gained by Howard backs for the past several years as the "four horsemen." District fans, as well as those eastern folk who have been fortunate enough to see any Bison team in action since 1926, are well acquainted with Coles, Ross and Brown, but Marshall, who has yet to make his debut before a Washington audience, in his first game proved himself capable to fill the shoes of the shifty "Tick" Smith who played his last game as a Bison on last Thanksgiving Day. Marshall was on the delivery end of the greater portion of the Bison forward passes, and in addition aided materially in the ground gaining of the visitors. Due to an injury, Coles did very little of the ball carrying, hence the other three backs were called upon to bear the brunt of the offensive burden. Butler, the veteran 190-pound fullback, was the shining light of the defense and offense of the losing team. Although entering the game handicapped by a lame ankle, he was in every play, intercepting passes, tackling hard and putting up a marvelous defense. He was responsible for the only two first downs registered by the Bears. Berry, the flashy quarterback, played a nice game as did Ormond, Battle and McManus. One of the most spectacular plays of the game occurred in the first quarter when Simpson leaped high into the air for a 30-yard pass by "Hoss" Ross. He took a similar pass in the third quarter from Marsailh and went the distance for a touchdown. Line-up: Howard Livingston Mack . . . R.E. . . . E. Brown Shelton . . . R.T. . . T. Armond Drew . . .

Oh Backs Weak— Line Ditto "If I only had a line," sighs C. L. Pinderhughes, coach of the Dunbar High School football team, when one is able to get him into conversation in regard to his hopes for the coming grid season. "I'm developing some backs, but my line is going to be a topnotcher," says Coach E. P. Westmoreland, in discussing the chances of the Armstrong Technical High School grid squad for the season which opens today (Friday), at the Howard Stadium. From appearances the Orange and Blue school should furnish a pretty strong forward wall for opposing elevens to combat, even if they do find trouble advancing the oval into alien territory offensively. And from those same appearances the poet eleven will experience more difficulty holding thir opponents than they will scoring. All in all, it looks like a banner year for the wise birds who enjoy picking all-high teams. SCHOLASTIC LID WILL BE PRIED OFF TODAY Today (Friday) marks the official opening of the local scholastic gridiron season for 1928. Both the senior high schools of the District will send their football teams forth to do battle with opposing elevenes, of other cities. One game will be played on hostile territory at the same time the other will be in progress here. Three elevens, or a total of thirty-three men, will accompany Coach C. L. Pinderhughes, of the Dunbar High School squad, to Bowie, Md., where the Red and Black is booked for their 1928 debut with the Bowle Normal and Industrial School team. Only Hammond, center of the Poet first-stringers, is sure of starting the game, according to word received from the camp of the locals. Of the backfield material, Lyons, Beckwilt, Clark, Minna, and Walker stand out. Scott Davidson, one of the most promising of the Red and Black ball-carrying prospects, has been forced out of the game by an injury. Davidson suffered torn ligaments of the shoulder during a scrimmage early in the week. The screening Orange and Blue of the Armstrong Technical High School will be borne onto the field at the Howard University stadium by eleven husky Tech warriors, who in their initial bow before the local public, will attempt to turn back, for the second successive year, the strong team of the Manassas Industrial School. Campbell, Starks, and Jackson, headliners of the O Streeters' backfield candidates, will no doubt be ISAAC NEWTON MILLER By E. B.

A man writes his own life. It is good or bad as he makes it. Biographers in most lives have to pad or delete in presenting tributes, but the life of Newton Miller needs but simple retelling to show that here was one of the squaresest gamen little men of our day. I suggest that every boy who is born to be small of stature or who wants an ideal life get a copy or read the eulogy of Newton delivered by Professor G. David Houston on the occasion of the funeral services. For my part as director of the department in which Newton gave his best services for the education of boys, I can only say that from his early days as a midget-weight member of the champion Public School Athletic League basketball team of Lucretia Mott School of 1911, through successive championships at Dunbarn High School and Howard University, Newton played the game always as a sport. As he was in the game so was he in relation to his work and comrades in the associated field of life. He was ever interested in the up-building of body and character of boys. He was never fussy, whining, or grouchy. He was intolerant with unfair play. He was loyal to his principles and to his boys. He was sincere, frank, honest. As an official in basketball, as a leader of a large group of community gangs in their play periods, or as teacher of classes sometimes numbering 150 boys he gained their respect, controlled without fear their activities, disciplined and directed their activities and efforts for better sportsmanship which ultimately meant better citizenship. None of my teachers will feel affronted when I declare that he had no superior in the work of training boys under circumstances many times when a less powerful personality would have quit or whined. Superintendent Wilkinson at the opening of school said that no more potent educational influence for splendid character development exists than the impression of a teacher's personality upon his pupils. We can truly say with belief that Newton's influence as a teacher will extend immeasurably in the lives of the boys and teachers with whom he associated. TRIBUNE LEAGUE Team W. L. Pct.

CAPITAL BOYS SHINE BUT TEAM LOSES By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—Virginia Seminary and College's air attack failed to bring results and the Dragon eleven went down to defeat, 13-0, in the opening game of Hampton's C.I.A.A. schedule on Armstrong Field. Eddie Davis seemed to be the backbone of the team, and around him everything revolved. On the ends were Captain Fowler and Slim Henderson. These two ends were fast and very accurate on receiving passes. At times Henderson was put in the backfield and Davis was on the receiving end. In other words, the passing game of these three men was the mainstay of the team. For Hampton it may be said that they played an unusually conservative game, only throwing two passes, both of which were incomplete. Seminary (0) Hampton (13) Henderson . . . R.E. . . .

C. team will have a chance, Sunday, to clinch honors in Class B, of the Washington Tribune Baseball League. When Sheppard marches his fast stepping young Piedmonts out on the field at Brookland, D.C., to meet the powerful Brookland Giants in their own back yard, the diminutive boss of the league leaders will carry much weight in anxiety. A win, Sunday, will mean that the Piedmonts will automatically capture the Class B gonfalon, and will thus earn the right to dispute with the Anacostia Athletics, winners of Class A, for the City Championship. A victory for the Brookland aggregation, however, will place the Giants on an even footing with the Piedmonts. This will necessitate a play-off. Standing of the two teams to date is as follows: BLUEFIELD NOSES OUT WILBERFORCE, 2-0 By "Seck" Simms WILBEERFORCE, O.—In a grim gridiron battle that looked like a tie until the last six minutes of the play, the Bluefield Institute "Big Blues," taking advantage of a break to score a safety, defeated Wilberforce here, 2-0, Saturday. The game went scoreless up until the last six minutes of play. Bluefield had lost the ball to Wilberforce on the Wilberforce 19-yard line. Moore, of Wilberforce, tried to penetrate the Bluefield line but was thrown for a loss of three yards. Wilberforce was about to pull off a play but Lucas, who was on the receiving end, left his position too soon and the ball rolled back across the goal line. Before he could gain his equilibrium, a Bluefield man was upon him. The Line-ups REVIEW Match Play Starts Sunday in D. C.

IN SCORELESS TIE GREENSBORO, N.C.-Approximately 7,000 persons, the largest crowd ever to witness a Negro game in this section and probably in the South, crowded into Memorial Stadium yesterday afternoon and saw A. and T.'s Bulldogs battle the famous Tiger eleven from Tuskegee to a 7 to 7 tie. Both teams exhibited a splendid brand of football, displaying aerial attacks and a kicking exhibition just about as amazing as any ever seen on a local grid. A. and T. carried the ball deep into Tuskegee's territory time after time, but penalties and fumbles when they were within scoring distance destroyed their hopes of shoving across the winning touchdown.

Morgan presented a clever backfield with Clark bringing the crowd to its feet several times by his clever running and passing. Thomas, the giant captain of the "Bears," was a power on the defensive and several times broke through to smear the State backs. However, State's powerful attack would not be denied and led by Chambers, Royall and the newcomer, "Red" Dabney, they literally wore down Morgan's line. Roamers to Open With Warrenton, Sunday ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Roamer A. C., leading sandlot football team of the District and Virginia for the past two seasons, will open its 1928 grid campaign in a battle with the strong Warrenton A.C., from Warrenton, Va., on Baggetts Field, here, Sunday.
