Veteran Pastor of St. Mary's Succumbs Here
Three-Year-Old Tot Loses Two-Year Fight for Life
UNDER

of the
CAPITOL
Two chairmen were killed in the recent Tong War that broke here Monday and many were marked for death in other cities.
Americans condemn these outbreaks and look with horror upon the Oriental's method of settling his differences. They forget that feuds of a similar sort are still prevalent among the hills of Kentucky and other parts of the ignorant South.
The Chinaman who is marked to die receives a flower which is the symbol of death. He merely prays until his time comes because Chinamen are through and keep their promises.
The killer does not go of his own volition, but is selected in secret council after drawing lots to see who will commit the murder. He goes alone and does not return until his mission is completed. Americans who live in the land of the free and home of the "brave" are more cowardly, they go in mobs to kill we helpless Negroes. * * * * *
Skimmed milk is being used in the production of buttons and umbrella handles by dairies. Casein the base found in the milk is mixed with other chemicals to make it solid.
The world is busy finding a way to put all forms of waste to good use. It is a pity that the precious moments wasted around poolrooms on U street can't be preserved and distributed among men who are making the world a better place to live in when time takes its toll. * * * * *
According to municipal statistics issued in Baltimore, our sister city, there were 911 less marriages licenses granted in 1927 than in 1926.
There is much discussion regarding the decline and much alarm over the increased divorce rate. The selfishness of America as a nation has its reaction on the private life of its citizens. Marriage calls for mutual sacrifice. sacrifices are very unpopular in this day and time.
Prohibition may be to blame. The inward revolt against all restrictions of personal liberty has grown rapidly in the last ten years. Marriage makes individuals slaves to social codes that are fast becoming obsolete.
Havelock Ellis, famous student of social relations, says that the time is fast approaching when men will resort to the primitive method of selecting their mates and will not need the sanction of clergy or state. Pity the poor woman then?
Lady Nancy Astor, member of the British parliament and Virginia's noted daughter, inaugurated a campaign to clean up and beautify the Old Dominion.
"I have talked in England so about the beauty of Old Virginia," she said "for you know, it is the most beautiful place in the world, that after seeing its unkempt appearance, I feel as if I would be afraid to let some of my English friends come here."
Let us hope she starts by wiping out the jim crow station that appears in every nook and corner of her native state.
WANTED TO PLAY
The stubborn fight for life which has been waged for the past two years by little three-year old Helen Beard, of Cumberland, Va., ended quietly in the Freedmen's Hospital, Monday morning.
The child, who has been suffering with a peculiar disease of the bones which has baffled scientists and doctors at the institution since March, cucumbered with the ailment still unfathomed by the men of medicine.
Dr. Lawrence Jackson, house physician, declared that the child had been suffering with a disease that was gradually eating away the marrow of her bones. This condition was found to exist in several parts of her body.
Was Cheerful
In spite of the fact that she was growing weaker as her tiny body was rendered useless as the initially crept slowly but surely to wade her heart, which finally ended in her death, the little girl was the life of the ward and cheered those who were for less hopeless than she. Throughout the spring, summer and up into the fall she talked constantly of the time when she would go home again and romp and play the other children.

ALTER PLANS WHEN HOTEL BARS RACE
Missionary Banquet Removed from Willard Hotel to Church to Avoid Discrimination
Plans for the annual banquet of the Foreign Missions Committee of the Presbyterian Churches of Washington and Vicinity which was scheduled to take place at the Willard Hotel here were suddenly changed when the hotel refused to accommodate three Negro members, the Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, announced, Sunday. Covers were to be laid for 800, according to plans of the committee of which the Rev. Taylor is a member, but the hotel refused to consent to the colored members being served due to a ruling of the Waiters' Union here not to serve mixed groups. The banquet will be held at the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, white, of which the Rev. Freely Roher is the pastor, on the night of October 30.
Lauds Action
The Rev. Taylor, in an interview, praised the attitude of the Rev. J. Hillman Holster, pastor of Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, chairman of the committee, and other broadminded members of the organization who would not tolerate discrimination in any form. The other colored members who will probably attend are the Reverends R. A. Fairley, pastor of Tabor Presbyterian Church, and W. H. Campbell, of Fairmount Heights.
Similar Occurrence
The committee had a similar experience in 1926, the pastor declared, when the Franklin Square Hotel attempted to bar Negroes. When the committee threatened to leave the hotel the management yielded.

Messrs. John R. Pinkett, agency director, and Aaron Day, Jr., assistant agency director at large, of the Ordinary Department of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company have just communicated to S. W. Rutherford, Founder and Secretary-General Manager, located here, an outstanding achievement.
As an expression of loyalty and of affection, the month of September was set apart as "S. W. Rutherford Month," in honor of Mr. Rutherford's Anniversary Birth Month. The Ordinary Department Sales Force was offered a challenge, and it responded by producing One Million Ninety Thousand Five Hundred Dollars worth of business.

Delaney, postal clerk, whose body was recovered from the Potomac River, at the foot of Fourteenth street, southwest, early last Thursday morning, told Tribune reporters, Wednesday, how she waited in vain all night for her son, and chief means of support to come home.
Mrs. Delaney told a graphic story of how he had, on numerous occasions, warned her son against the practice of courting married women, but to no avail. She pictured how she had retired, but up
PURCHASE OF LOT ASSURES DUNBAR NEW STADIUM
Acquisition of Last Plot of Land Speeds Plans for Athletic Bowl
The acquisition of this lot completed the land purchases for the stadium and athletic field for the Dunbar High School. It gives the school all property on the N street side back to the land running north and south immediately to the rear of the Twining School.
Would Not Sell
Acquisition of land for the building of a stadium and athletic field at the Dunbar High School was begun in 1916. Delay was caused by condemnation proceedings and a provision in congressional appropriations that no property for school purposes could be bought for more than 125 per cent of its assessed valuation. Property in this vicinity had been improved and no
NEW ORLEANS, LA.—Feeling ran high a few nights ago at the First African Baptist Church when the minister, Rev. James A. Bingaman, was roundly scored for his political activities and his resignation demanded.
This action was brought about by the acceptance of Rev. Bingaman of the position of delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention at Kansas City in June. It was held that his affiliation was with the faction called the lily-whites.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 10—Speaking to a large gathering of Negroes at a meeting of the Negro Civic League, recently held here, William M. McDonald, politically known as "Goose Neck Bill," stated that the most vicious, relentless, un-American, unjust organizations in America today are the Ku Klux Klan and Lily White Republicans.

STEPMOTHER IS DEFENDANT IN $10,000 SUIT
Action to Set Aside Deed Is Postponed In Equity Court
FRAUD CHARGED
Justice Jennings Bailey, in equity court, No. 1, continued until October 29, the suit of Rheba Evans against her stepmother, Mrs. Mattie Daniel Greene, in order to give the plaintiff time to amend her bill. The suit is to set aside a deed conveying property at Forty-eighth street and Deane avenue, northeast from Mrs. Evans to Mrs. Greene on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation. Mrs. Evans also claims she was a minor at the time she executed the deed. The property is estimated to be worth $10,000.
Was Joint Owner
Mrs. Greene claims that she was the joint owner of the property with her husband, that she spent $3,294 to protect it and gave Mrs. Evans property in Fairmount Heights, Md., in exchange for the Deanwood property.
The case was tried by Justice James F. Smith, late of the United States Court of Customs Appeals who sat in the District Supreme Court to relieve congestion of the docket, but he died before he signed a decree.
Attorneys Charles S. Baker and B. L. Tepper are representing Mrs. Evans. Attorney R. R. Horner is representing Mrs. Greene.

He canes chairs and sells candy in barbershops and public buildings for a livelihood.
NEVALTHOMAS IS TAKEN TO TASK
John T. Rhines Disagrees With Attack on G.O.P. In Recent Article
John T. Rhines, prominent local undertaker, a member of the executive committee of the Hoover-Curtis club, and a zealous supporter of the N.A.A.C.P., has challenged some recent statements of Neval Thomas, president of the local branch N.A. A.C.P.
Mr. Thomas declared that the Republican party invented Segregation under Taft, and carried it to its greatest extent under Harding and Coolidge. It swept the South of officeholders under Taft, and now has even cleaned up the National Committee. All of these late years the Negro members of the National Committee have been forced to name white men and women often Democrats, to federal posts in Georgia and Mississippi.
Politicians look after the interests of those who can raise them to power and punish them for broken promises. Had the Negro race divided its vote at the first Republican betrayal in 1877, it never would have been disfrancised. Both parties would have been in rivalry for his vote, and he could have traded it for the fullest citizenship.
Admires Thomas
Mr. Rhines states: "Personally, I have great admiration for Neval Thomas. I admire him for his brilliance as a speaker and writer,

75-Yr.-Old Prophet Warns Capital of Coming Destruction From Air TOLD OF FLOOD
The Graf Zeppelin which circled the city Monday upon its arrival in America after a 6,000 mile journey from Germany is the forerunner of another war which will destroy the capital and other American cities, is the prediction of Prophet Andrew Jones, 75-year-old Baptist Evangelist, who called at the Tribune office, Monday.
Prophet Jones, who is known from one end of the country to the other for his uncanny foresight, came to the office a few moments after the giant dirigible passed over the city and declared that it was the fulfillment of a vision that was revealed to him by God.
Warnings Came True
Prophet Jones has a long list of predictions which have materialized among which were the California, earthquake, the Johnstown flood, the Baltimore fire, the recent flood disasters which swept the south.

Mrs. Martha Brooks Masons Killed Instantly When Car is Overturned HUSBAND HURT
Mrs. Martha Brooks Mason, 26 years old, was hurled from an automobile in which she was riding last Sunday night, and almost instantly killed when her husband, Joseph L. Mason, made a quick left-hand turn to avoid a collision with another car at Fourth street and Reservoir drive in the rear of the Howard University stadium. The steering gear locked and his automobile overturned. Mrs. Brooks suffered a broken neck.
She was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Her husband escaped with a few minor bruises that were dressed at Freedmen's Hospital. He was so severely shocked that it was deemed advisable to detain him at the hospital.
Mason is an employee of the Potomac Electric Power Company. His wife visited friends in Alexandria, Va., Sunday night, and they were returning home when the accident happened.

AGED PASTOR OF ST. MARY'S DIES
The Rev. Oscar L. Mitchell, for 34 years rector of the St. Mary's Episcopal Church, succumbed in the Emergency Hospital late Wednesday evening following a lingering illness of eight months' duration.
The deceased pastor was respected here by all denominations and adored by his own congregation for his piety and sacrificial life. He never married but was wrapped up in his work and always put the welfare of his parishers ahead of his own.
He is survived by two sisters in Columbia, South Carolina, and a host of friends. Funeral services will be conducted at the church Saturday. Arrangements are being made for burial by the Rev. L. M. Mitchell, assistant pastor of the church and a committee of ladies.

Former Guide for Teddy Roosevelt in Africa Comes to D.C., from South
A native born son of the heart of Africa, and the chief guide during the famous Roosevelt big game hunt expedition of 1911, Romeo Christopher, 59 years old, arrived in this city last week bent on entering Howard University for the purpose of studying to become a minister of the gospel.
Christopher's decision to come to Washington came as an aftermath to the Florida hurricane which recently visited and devastated the southern part of the country. The former guide was a property owner, but the home he had built and in which he had lived for the past five years was destroyed, and his wife and baby were drowned.
Visits Mrs. Longworth
The Red Cross Society, finding Christopher destitute and without friends, sent him here to seek aid of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and daughter of the late President Roosevelt.
Christopher was also given a letter of introduction to officials of Howard University, but up to a late hour Wednesday, he had not made application for entrance at that institution, according to information made public by the university Registrar's office. He could not be located by Tribune reporters after leaving the Longworth home.

A class from the Department of Commerce and Finance of Howard University, visited the retail stores owned and operated by Negroes on U street, last week. The class was making a study of retail methods and of window display. Under the guidance of a professor, they visited the various stores and made their observations.
After the visit they compared notes. The class was unanimous in selecting Reid's Corner, The Pandora Shoppe, and The Lantern, as having the best window displays on U street.
The findings of the class should be an incentive for other business places on this popular street, to spruce up a bit. Entirely too many U street stores neglect their windows and thus give their places of business an untidy appearance.

A casual glance up and down the streets of Washington will reveal a very large number of boys of school age loitering around. Street corners, theatres and other places attract them. Without fear of molestation they romp and play and create disturbances throughout the hours that they, according to the compulsory school law, should be in the class room.
The law took into consideration that some parents and guardians, would not have the best interest of their children or wards at heart and send them to school, hence they created certain officers whose duty it would be to go around the streets and arrest these truant children and place them in school, and if necessary bring the ones responsible for their truancy before the proper court for trial.
Judging from the number of boys who are not in school, either there are no truant officers in Washington, or else they have no conception of what their duties are—and practically no interest in their work except to draw their salaries.
This condition should not continue. It is from among this truant class that the future criminals will be culled. Already the race is producing entirely too large a proportion of arrests for various causes here. If this ratio is ever to be reduced, the start must be made by the truant officers doing their duty. The citizens of Washington must demand this.

one that a Negro had committed some heinous crime. The news would have spread with the same speed and in the same way. In certain towns in America, if such a report was made public, it would not be many minutes before a mob would be formed and a search made to find some Negro to lynch for revenge. Lynchings have occurred on just such wild rumors as this.
Harmless jokes sometimes have disastrous results, therefore it is not wise to play them. It is extremely difficult for most people to repeat something they have heard and not add something of their own to it. And, of course, within a short time, the original story can not be recognized.
The character of many innocent people have been ruined in such a manner, many hearts made to ache, and business firms wrecked. We should be careful about what we repeat and never add anything to it regardless to how innocent it may sound.

Do the things you should do now,
Wait not for another day.
Time is fleeting and you must bow,
To whatever it brings your way.
Let today see your kind act;
Wait not 'till your friend is dead,
Then shed tears, as he lay on back,
And hear not the sweet things said.
Cive the flowers when their smell,
Will bring sweet smiles upon his face;
Take him to that country dell,
Where wild flowers bloom with grace.
Curb your anger with kind words,
That will never hurt or sting;
Treat him as your fond pet birds,
Let kind acts in his ear ring.
Think ye, the joy you can bring
To some sad and weary heart;
Think ye, the bliss—a kindly thing
Can do to ease an aching heart:
So let your deeds shine forth today
And spread their kind and wholesome light.
Yes, let kind acts, have supreme sway;
Cheering souls with hearts as night.

A SUGGESTION FOR POLITICAL LEADERS
By Henry F. Arnold
Judging from what I read and hear from the distinguished colored ladies and gentlemen, whose duty it is to keep us well posted anent what we should hope to get from Hoover or Smith, our chances seem to be very slim. We shall doubtless get little or no political recognition from either.
If what the scribes and orators tell us is true (and I am forced to accept their word knowing that they know what they are talking about) the mere pittance which is being paid them to chant the innate qualities of their candidates is all hat we need hope for.
A distinguished white gentleman made a timely suggestion to me in a conversation, recently, relative

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928
A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL
There are all sorts of interesting things going on right under your noses that you aren't paying a bit of attention to. For instance, there are wars and rumors of wars right here in Washington, that nobody but column writing fellows like myself would get all worked up about. There are bootleg wars, "numbers" wars, bootblack wars, taxi-cab wars, hotel wars, and then there is the wordy war, or literary war that broke out between Neval H. Thomas and John T. Rhines. Of all the wars the latter is probably most amusing, if wars can be called amusing pastimes.
Neval Thomas, whom you may recall, besides teaching school some place or other here in the city, finds time to dabble in public affairs as the Grand Hokus Pokus of the N.A.A.C.P. This you also may recall is an organization manned by supposedly very brainy individuals, possessing University degrees by the gallon and an unusual gift of gab. They stir up things.
John T. Rhines, besides being very fat and very portly and very impressive, buries most of the people who putter out down in the southwest section. He is an undertaker by trade, but puts his finger in the political pie while not embalming people who putter out down in the southwest section.
Now that you have the characters the rest is simple, too simple in fact. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Rhines fell out about the election. Dr. Thomas said that the Republicans were scoofers or words to that effect. He said it in a newspaper, Johnny said in so many words in another newspaper that Neval was a scoofer himself for saying the Republicans were scoofers. Neval saw the other paper and sent Johnny a very unbrotherly letter saying that he was whatever he thought he was and the Republicans were still not so hot in his estimation.
There it is in a nutshell. The war is on. "Now is the time for every good man to come to the aid of his party," as they say in typewriting schools.
The Howard Cab Company is at war with another cab company which calls itself the Howard Cab Company, but really isn't. That's what the war is about.
The Howard Cab Company took the Howard Cab Company to court to make it change the color and name of its cabs. This promises to be quite a colorful affair. May the best cab win.
Washington folk who like to stay up late and drink stuff that you get from fellows who talk low out of the corners of their mouths and like to seel girls show things that they shouldn't show while singing jazz songs, will have an opportunity to enjoy themselves this winter. The Oriental Gardens, which really isn't very oriental and by no means a garden, is one of those places, and the La Boheme Club, which opened its doors the other night, is another. There are other similar places scattered around that you don't go to boldly. Somebody who knows you has to take you in and incidentally somebody generally has to carry you out. Yours until probibition is a success.
to the Negro in politics.
I would be an ingrate, and clamish, did I not pass the suggestion on to our amiable leaders.
Said my newly made white friend "Your race can never hope to get anything from either party, so long as they feel that you are a liability."
This being true, I suggest that the distinguished ladies and gentlemen place their earnings from both parties in the bank on interest, and four years hence, those who have been paid by the Smith Brigade mail their checks to the Democratic National Committee to help them finance their campaign, and the Hoover Brigade do likewise. I believe such a program would bring us recognition. As the white gentleman truly said.

you can not get water out of the bucket unless you have put water in the bucket. "In the name of all of the gods at once, by what rule of reason 'do we expect to get recognition when we are a liability instead of an asset? The laughable thing about the campaign is to read in our colored weeklies, the article sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People anent segregation in the various government departments, and then glance at another column and read an article from one of their star actors who has exonerated the Republican party, and is now chief scribe for the "jim crow" headquarters of Smith in New York City. Last week I said that there were only two of the scribes who were writing articles worth reading. I named Dr. DuBois and Dr. Kelly Miller.

I hear that Mrs. Estelle Smoot,
popular local club woman, has called
a meeting of the Put-and-Take
Bridge Club composed of the city's
most distinguished biscuit destroyers
to discuss plans for aiding the
starving ear muff manufacturers.
* * * *
The radio and the I.W.W. have
done much to cause the once popular
ear protector into disrepute,
and the conditions under which
these honest laborers are forced
to live are deplorable.
* * * *
"Many people," Mrs. Smoot declared in a statement to the Tribune,
"who used to be loyal adherents of the ear muff have moved
from the country and now drive second-hand cars."
This, she points out, shows to what depths humanity can descend when it strays from the old established institution, so dear to our fathers.
* * * * *
Some use them to rest their derbies on, hook their spectacles on or places to hang imitation jewelry. "This," she declares, "is not the sole purpose of ears. They are very necessary organs, and while they have done nothing constructive, they are directly responsible for the invention and existence of the radio, the telephone and alarm clocks."
Ears do not talk like the mouth or honk like the nose, but in their own silent, retiring way, they keep us informed about all the dirt among our neighbors, and in this respect are as valuable as any other part of the anatomy.
Before the bobbed hair plague was visited upon the sinful world it was the consensus of coiffure opinion that women had no ears, but since the lawn mowers has been applied to feminine curls, these horrible looking hunks of raw beef are now perceptible to the naked eye.
"We have exerted much energy saving our molars for the tooth paste dispensers," stated Mrs. Smoot in her elegant and choiceist language, "and now the time is ripe, when we should do something to preserve our gossip catchers."
* * * *
The drive has received the hearty endorsement and support of the pulpit and press. Mrs. Smoot is confident that not many moons will pass before the club will have ear muffs on both old and young and righteousness will be restored in America.
"Is the ear muff destined to follow the same fate of red flannel underwear, corsets, beaver hats, and other time honored institutions, which form the very foundation upon which our formidable government has been built? "Never," she averred heatedly. "The ear muff must regain its rightful place in the hearts of man if our civilization is to endure."
* * * *
If planted in the spring and properly cultivated these little seeds will take root and grow into a beautiful Ear Muff bush, right in your own back yard, and by the first snow will blossom forth and produce enough ear muffs to protect the whole family.

A TIMELY POEM
Dear Editor: I have been interested in the Kiddies' Korner quite awhile, at least as long as my big sister has taken the Tribune. My name is Emory Hale, I am nine years old, and I attend St. Cyprian's Catholic School and I live at 342 12th street, northeast. I am sending a selected poem all about boys. It is:
Why Boys Go Astray
What can a boy do, and where can
What can a boy do, and where can a boy stay.
When he is always told to get out of the wav?
The cushions that cover that fine rocking chair
Were put there, of course, to be seen and admired;
A boy has no business to ever be tired.
The beautiful roses and flowers that bloom.
Are made not to walk on—at least, not by boys:
The house is no place, anyway, for their noise.
Yet boys must walk somewhere, and what if their feet,
Sent out of their houses, sent into the street.
Should step 'round the corner and pause at the door
Where other boys' feet have passed often before;
Should pass the gateway of glittering light,
Where jokes that are merry and songs that are bright
Ring out a warm welcome with flattering voice,
And leave all his innocent boyhood within?
Oh, what if they should, because you and I
To make round our hearthstone a place for the boys?
For the touch of their fingers, the tread of their feet,
They'll find it, and find it, alas, in the street,
'Mid the gilding of sin and the glitter of vice;
And with heartaches and longings we pay a dear price,
For the getting of gain that our

A BOOK FOR BOYS
ABDUL, by Winthrop B. Palmer: The Macmillan Company, $2.00. Abdul is an Egyptian boy of the present day and his story, though slight, will interest younger children and be suitable to read to those in the very earliest grades. It tells about Abdul's home life on his father's small farm just outside of Luxor, later his school life in Cairo where he lives in his uncle's luxurious house. It attempts to take in as many of the average nine-year-old boy's interests as is possible in such a slim volume. While the information it gives is of no great value, it is nevertheless interesting and well done, and the illustrations, while more or less commonplace, ably illustrate the text.
(From Dunbar Observer)
Have you ever heard a student say, "I'm not going to study much these first weeks; we only get "Checks" and "D's" at the end of the advisory? Or have you heard one say that he is going to study the first few weeks only, "just to make an impression?" Pupils who adopt either of these methods of study derive the least benefit from their schooling. It is far wiser to allot a reasonable time each night for study or, better still, know exactly how much time to spend on each subject. If a definite plan is followed throughout the semester, the best results will be obtained.
ELIZA LIKES JOKES
Dear Editor: I like good jokes.
Here are two:
"Mother, it is lunch time yet?"
"Oh, no, not for another hour."
"Well, then my tummy must be fast."
"I see you haven't had your vacation yet."
"How can you tell that?"
"You don't look as if you needed one."

Among the happenings of the week, one of the most unique and enjoyable evenings was spent with Mrs. Bernice Trigg entertained the Dee Bees Bridge Club at the wonderful home of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Wauls in Arlington, Va., on last Tuesday evening. The club members after meeting at Mrs. Trigg's home, 2029 Thirteenth street, northwest, journeyed to Virginia, where they were served a most delicious supper, after which bridge was played.

The Odd Card Whist Club
The Odd Card Whist Club
It is, doubtless, of interest to all lovers of the gentle art of whist to know that the Symposium Whist Club, of redoubtable prominence in this social activity, has accepted the challenge recently issued by the Odd Card Whist Club. It has accepted it in such a tone of respectable confidence as would promise engagement where lust for casualties in the sport may reign supreme.
Last week's meeting brought about another change in the standing of the teams. Clarence Vaughn and William Baker dropped from first place to last, Boyd Clarke and Edward Arthur dropped from first place to last, Boyd Clarke and Edward Arthur capturing first, Clarence Baker and Mercer Conway gained second, Laurence Moten and Robert Sims third.
The Odd Card Whist Club will be glad to hear from any other whist clubs which will accept their challenge.

BRADSHAW AGENCY BREAKS PRODUCTION RECORD

The month of September just closed has set for the Washington Ordinary Agency of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company a record that is the pride not only for the Home Office, but also of every individual member of the field force. S. W. Rutherford Month has come to be an established event wherein production records have each
year been broken by the various districts and this time the Washing to o district has come into prominence by topping its last year's September production of 62,000 by more than 40,000 dollars of new business. While this represents the largest monthly production yet recorded f.r. Washington, it is regarded by the four members of this agency as merely an indication of the possibilities for the coming months.

Three Weeks Investigation Unravels Mystery of Systematic Disappearance GOODS RECOVERED
Nine employees of the Dulin and Martin Company, 1215 F street, northwest, were arrested last Monday night by headquarters detectives. They were charged with thefts of china and glassware from the company over a period of three years.
Their arrests resulted from an investigation of three weeks. An inventory of stock made last month revealed thefts.
Those arrested were Veta G. Dungeon, 28, 905 Westminster street, northwest; Lawson V. Newton, 24, 5002 M street, northwest; Virginia G. Fletcher, 25, 1514 S street, northwest; Rebecca A.

Detectives recovered much of the goods from the homes of the prisoners. Some was recovered from a house near Alexandria, Va., where it had been sent when one of the employees, who were arrested, learned that an investigation was being made. Another consignment was located in a shed in the rear of 1505 Ninth street.

GARVEY FAILS IN FRANCE
Paris, France.—Five hundred Frenchmen, termed "intellectuals," filled the Club Du Faulbourg Saturday to hear Marcus Garvey plead for the founding of an African empire. The boulevards of Paris had been placarded for weeks with high sounding phrases exclaiming the "Mark Anthony of the Negroes!" Observers stated that intellectuals in the audience frequently interrupted Garvey with pointed questions and that his plea was a failure.

Three Youths Given Longest Terms of Court Session for Robbery
Terms ranging from 15 to 19 years in jail, the most severe sentences meted out in the District Supreme Court for this criminal session, were given by Justice Walter L. McCoy to three men, Friday.
Three cases each of robbery, and several charges of housebreaking were the causes of the penalty.
James Jackson, 18 years old, was sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison. He admitted several robberies and four charges of housebreaking. The court fixed the penalty in the robbery cases at 15 years each, but allowed them to run concurrently. In the housebreaking cases sentence was fixed at one year and one day each to run consecutively.
James Henson, also 18 years old, received a like sentence on the robbery charges, but had been connected with only three of the housebreakings so that his total of imprisonment is 18 years.
Fleming Giles, 19 years old, the third member of the trio, escaped with a 15-year sentence because he had nothing to do with the housebreaking charges.
ARMSTRONG HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES
Section A7 was awarded the Insignia of the Honor Society for maintaining the highest percentage of Honor Roll students. Four of the twenty-two members of the section made the Honor Roll. They are Samuel Tucker with six E's; William Anderson, four E's and one G; John Landers, three E's and one G; and Jacob Ford, one E and three G's. The award was made by Principal Houston and accepted by Elmer Harris, president of the section.
Stressing character development as the big objective of modern education, Bishop E. T. Demby, of Arkansas, addressed the Wednesday assembly. He advised the students to make honesty, integrity, and industry the goal of their endeavors.
Mr. M. M. Proffit, of the Bureau of Education, Technical Expert on Industrial Education, opened the series of Educational faculty meetings by addressing the faculty on Wednesday afternoon on three phases of secondary education, namely, The Market of our Output, The Differentiation of our Course of Study, and The Influence of Character Traits. Prospects of a successful football season are promising. Coach Westmoreland has three teams of husky players who are so well matched that he is having difficulty in deciding upon his first-string players. In their opening clash with Manassas, the Orange and Blue experienced only slight difficulty in overcoming their heavier rivals from Virginia. The team hrs a heavy schedule for the season.
Randall Parents Club
Elects Officers
At the first meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Randal Junior High School, the following officers were elected: Miss Lillian Robinson, president; Miss Minnie King, vice-president; Mr. Frederick Smith, secretary; Miss E. R. Clark, treasurer; and Mr. Alfred Minor, chaplain.
It was suggested by the principal that the Citizens Association and the Parent-Teacher Association have at least one meeting together each month to work out problems of the community, such as the doing away with places of disrepute located near the school. He urged that the parents as citizens of the community take appropriate steps to better the neighborhood in which their children are living. He further urged that committees be appointed to look after better lighting in the community, the establishing of a branch library, and the development of a Community Chest to aid needy children and provide books and other material for worthy children who reach the ninth grade and are unable to provide themselves with the necessary equipment for pursuing ninth grade work.

An item for the building of the stadium and athletic field at the Dunbar High School is in the present budget which will be submitted at the next session of Congress, if approved by the Bureau of the Budget. At the last conference between school officials, and budget bureau, school officials were told that no estimate for the building of the stadium would be submitted to Congress until all land purchases had been made. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, believes that the position of the budget bureau then is an indication that an estimate for the stadium and athletic field will be submitted at the next session of Congress.
Plans for the stadium and athletic field have already been worked out by the municipal architect. The land purchases total nearly a half million dollars.

on his visit to America twenty years ago as an Exchange Professor he visited Tuskegee where he had the honor of meeting the late Booker T. Washington. This visit, together with the autobiography of the founder of Tuskegee, "Up From Slavery," had provided him with an introduction to the problems confronting the Negro in America.
He stated that in addition to his interests in the affairs of state, as a member of the Reichstag, his position as a professor of history at the University of Berlin afforded opportunity for study of American life and that his visit to Howard University was part of that special study.

for his courage and zeal in championing the manhood rights of the colored citizens. But in making a wholesale assault upon the Republian party, Mr. Thomas speaks as an individual and does not represent the Washington, D.C., branch of the N.A.A.C.P., as a whole. Other members do not share his dislike of the G.O.P.
"While characterized by brilliant rhetoric, his article does not exhibit the critical acumen, which usually marks his utterances. It is eloquent, but not analytical. It gives the impression of being dashed off upon the spur of the moment, rather than having been fully prepared and carefully revised. Some of the statements needed to be toned down and some of the clauses needed to be qualified and modified."
MORE PROBE URGED
(Continued from page 1)
on awakening at 1 o'clock and finding that her son had not returned home from taking one of the young women to a theatre feared for his safety.
Told of Son's Fate
At 4 o'clock, Mrs. Delaney said, the telephone rang, and a voice on the wire told her that Detective Headquarters was calling, and that the body of Roy C. Delaney had just been taken from an automobile which had tumbled over the sea wall beneath the railroad bridge, near the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
Fears Foul Play
Mrs. Delaney intimated that some husbands of the women with whom her son associated may have been involved in the mishap. Rry, Mrs. Delaney declared, was positively seen in company with an unidentified man, shortly after 1 o'clock, on the night of the fatal ride. For several hours after Delaney's body had been recovered police of the Harbor precinct dragged the waters in the vicinity of the death plunge, but the search was fruitless.
Wound Found
An abrasion, at the base of the skull of the dead man, led to the belief that there was a possibility of his having been struck in the head. No further clues, however, have been disclosed by police, who, it is understood, have not completed their investigation. Delaney has for the past nine years been a clerk in the United States Post Office. He is the son of Thomas S. Delaney, policeman attached to the Eleventh precinct. Two brothers, in addition to his mother and father, survive him.
Many at Funeral
Funeral services for Delaney were held from the Metropolitan Wesley Church, southwest, at 2 o'clock Sunday. In the large auditorium present were several hundred postal employees, representing every office in the city, Delaney having been actively identified with the several postal organizations, including the Post Office Mutual Welfare Association and the National Alliance of Postal Employees.

Born A Slave
Prophet Jones was born a slave in Virginia and has been traveling warning people of disasters since 1883. He was last in the city just before the death of President Harding at which time he declared that he dreamed that he saw the city draped in mourning. He is one of eighteen children and has walked from Richmond to Washington three times preaching. The nation will have to turn from dance halls and theatres and play if the tragedy is to be averted, he declared.
G.O.P. Debaters Fail To Show Up At Club
A political debate was the feature of the regular monthly program at the Mu-So-Lit Club last Friday evening. Four representatives of both the Republican and Democratic parties were to participate, but three of the Republican speakers were absent. That left John R. Hawkins, chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican national committee, as the sole representative of the Republican cause in the debate. The Democratic speakers were Thomas H. R. Clarke, Charles S. Cuney, Neval H. Thomas, and Robert J. Nelson, a democratic regional director. Others who spoke included Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Kelly Miller, C. C. McDuffie, Arthur W. Mitchell, R. R. Horner, and J. T. Settle. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson presided over the debate. George Henry Murray, president of the club, presided during the impromptu speaking.
MEN HURT ON TRUCK
William Brown, 1029 Twentieth street, northwest, and Edward Higgins, 2220 Twelfth street, northwest, occupants of a 5-ton truck hauling cement from Bethesda to the old Georgetown pike, narrowly escaped serious injury, last Wednesday afternoon, when the vehicle tumbled over a 25-foot embankment.
The accident occurred on the Rockville pike, 2 miles north of Bethesda. A defective steering gear was given as the cause of the mishap.
Taxi War Looma
a. Through Peter P. Richardson, attorney, the Howard Taxicab Company filed suit in the District Supreme Court, Wednesday for an
injunction restraining Charles Jones, 1206 Kirby street, northwest, and W. Hodges, 1517 T street northwest, from using its name and color scheme. The Howard Taxicab Company charges unfair competition. It says that the defendants are using identically the same name and color scheme as it has adopted in order to deceive the public.
Armond W. Scott, prominent local attorney, left the city early last week on a series of "stump speeches" in the interest of the Democratic National Committee. Lawyer Scott is advocating the Negro vote for the Democratic candidate, Alfred E. Smith, for president. His speaking tour will include: Huntington and Charleston, West Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky; Nashville and Memphis, Tenn.; East St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, and Indianapolis, Ind.

SENTENCE BRINGS SMILE
James Quinan, 218 M street, northwest, went into the dock at police court smiling, if such can be imagined, Tuesday, because he was about to begin 120 days in jail for larceny.
Quinan was sentenced, Monday, for the theft of a banjo he stole from Charles Morgan, of the 600 block of M street, northwest. A second case, involving the larceny of a basket of laundry, was continued to Tuesday until the court could locate and summon one of the principal witnesses. The witness failed to show up for the Tuesday hearing, so Judge John P. McMahon dismissed the charge. Quinan escaped with the single sentenced—hence the s lm ie. sentence, hence the smile.
Mean Hubby Jailed For Assault on Mate
The old excuse of "Judge, I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing," failed, Tuesday morning in the case of John Gibson, who had been arrested and brought before Judge John P. McMahon on a charge of assaulting his wife. Mrs. Matilda Gibson, wife of the man, told Judge McMahon that Gibson attacked her Sunday night in their home when she uphraised their 11-year-old son for answering her discourteously. She told the court that Gibson knocked her down, kicked her and then struck her with a lamp. "Sixty days away from bad liquor," said Judge McMahon.

Woman Robs Policeman Gets 120 Days
Mary Johnson, living in the 1300 block of D street, southeast, absolutely refused to discriminate when on last Saturday night, she entered the rear yard of Charles A. Berry, white, a policeman attached to the Twelfth precinct, and stole a bucket of groceries from the ice box of the law.
Mrs. Johnson, who appears to be about 48 or 50 years of age, was arrested by two fifth precinct policemen who encountered her as she came out of the alley leading up to the rear of the Berry home. The woman was carrying a bucket containing 5 pounds of beef, 2 dozen eggs, lima beans, lard, and a quantity of butter.
Judge John P. McMahon sentenced her to 120 days in jail, when she was arraigned, Monday.
ACQUIT WHITE MAN OF ASSAULT IN 3 MINUTES
NEW ORLEANS, La.—Only three minutes were required for a jury in the criminal court district court to return a verdict of not guilty in the case of John C. Carey, a white man, who was indicted by the grand jury who is alleged to have held up Gertrude Kelly, 12, and Delores Bolds, 11 (colored), at the point of a revolver and criminally assaulted them in the tall weeds near the railroad yards in the lower section of the city.
COLORED DRUGGIST BARRED
IN N. C. TOWN
BURLINGTON, N.C.—A privilege license to operate a drug store on Worth street has been denied Dr. J. H. Pittman and associate by the town officials. Dr. Pittman and others purchased the salvaged stock of a white drug store on Worth street, and are now in possession of the building, under lease of three years. Many are of the opinion that the granting of such a license to operate was perfunctory, not discretionary, because the druggist was properly licensed by the state. The entire white business interests in the town opposed the granting of the license on the ground that "it will be a bad day for Burlington when he gets into the better business section." A great percentage of the trade of these white business men depends on the farm workers who overrun the town stores on Saturdays.

That Whitens Dark Skin 3 to 5 Shades in 3 Minutes — Yet Is
Not a Bleach, Not a Harmful Chemical! Now Being Used by
Thousands of Dark Skinned Parisiennes — As Well As Leaders
of the Smart Younger Set of New York and Chicago!
AYOUNG French chemist has created a furore among Parisienne women by introducing a new type of skin-whiteness and brilliancy to dark complexious. Instantly—the very minute it is applied—your skin becomes many shades whiter. And at the same time, like a mask, it conceals freckles and blemishes—holds powder almost all day long—heals and soothes skin irritations!
It is not a bleach and contains no harmful chemicals. It is merely a new type of creme which is just rubbed into the skin like a mask, the appearance of the skin is lightened! Immediately all shine and gloss vanish—often for 24 hours. Used on hands, not on face, it makes them white and smooth. Men find it wonderful for after shaving. They say it removes gloss and shine and gives that creamy ivory tone so valuable in business and address.

DULL HEADACHE BACKACHE and Pains In Sides
"For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for biliousness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it.
I have found that Theford's LACK-DRAUGHT
purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it.
"I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that.
"My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

Goodwin, 1927 Champion
Tourney Medalist. Sixth
Veteran Carter
We see by the papers that in a communication to Burt Stand, secretary of the New York State Boxing Commission, one Sheriff Charles Zimmerman branded George Godfrey, the Shadow of Leiperville, as a fake, because the worthy Negro fighter saw fit to let loose one of his pile-driver right hand punches, with the usual effect, exactly 96 seconds after the start of his fight with Benny Hill, Toronto heavyweight, in Buffalo, on October 13. The communication, according to United Press dispatch called the fight a "fraud on the public."
Two days later we see by the papers that Damon Runyon, white, one of the most able and widely known sports scribes in America, writing for Hearst daily, brands the eminent sheriff's communication as an even greater fraud than that officer of the peace and good order of Buffalo would have the public believe about the scrap.
Mr. Runyon says in part: "I don't know how good a fighter Godfrey is. I think he can outstumble most of the other heavyweights of the day, but that's just an opinion. I do know, however, that one punch is about all his Buffalo opponent, Benny Hill, figured to go against him. Hill is a Negro, and just about one-punch good, as compared to Godfrey. Therefore when the sheriff of Buffalo charges this particular bout was a fake, he is slightly out of line, in my opinion. If Hill had lasted through two or three punches, then I might lift by brows suspiciously at the old Black Shadow."
Further pointing out in his article that Godfrey is still the one heavyweight that should be considered at the top of the pack aspiring to the deserted crown of Gene Tunney, Mr. Runyon attacks the practice of white promoters in relegating Negro fighters, no matter how good, to the scram hean. He writes:
"It's all very well to talk of equal rights, but you know, and I know that a black fighter gets all the worst of it wherever he goes. They impose on him, and mistreat him in every way.
"Now that's dead wrong. If they don't want to see the black man fight, well and good. Let them refrain from matching him. But once he is in there, he is entitled to a fair deal, though he rarely gets it.
"Godfrey fouled one Larry Gaines in Toronto recently, just because he wanted to be good natured, and give the clients a run for their money. He had stopped Gaines before. He figured to flatten Gaines again in about one heat. The Black Shadow let it go beyond that, and accidentally fouled. He didn't dispute the foul, and paid his fine cheerfully.
"But rarely indeed are white fighters penalized as drastically for accidental fouls. It's a tough life for a black gladiator. When Godfrey can't knock a man out, they say he's pulling, and when he does knock 'em out they say he's faking."
A rising vote of thanks to Mr. Runyon. True he has told us absolutely nothing that we did not know before, but we are more than grateful because in his article he has shown us much more than he would ever have been able to tell us. Here is at least one man interested in the fight racket other than a manager who can look upon the dirt of the game and will describe what he sees. Here is at least one white man who is white—Gracias.

Goodwin, 1927 Champion Eliminated by Williams, Tourney Medalist. Sixteen-Year-Old Star Trims Veteran Carter in Second Flight
Play in the District Amateur Golf Championship Tournament, being concluded this Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial Links, has narrowed the competition down to final matches in each of the first two flights. The winner of the third flight has been decided. Jimmy Williams, pitcher and outfielder of the Washington Black Sox baseball team, and one of the most powerful hitters among local players, will meet Charlie Honesty, winner of the 1927 Citizens Golf Club Invitational Tourney, in the final round of the first flight play. At the same time, Everett Payne, 16-year-old schoolboy, and son of Tom Payne, prominent local baseball umpire and all-round athlete, will engage Sam Lacy, sporteditor of the Washington Tribune, for the championship of the second flight.
The feature of the semi-final rounds, played last Sunday, was the defeat, by Williams, of Pleasant Goodwin, 1927 District Amateur titleholder, and the victory of Payne over W. E. Carter, generally conceded favorite in the fight for second flight honors.
Williams, who incidentally was the medalist in the qualifying round, established an early lead on Goodwin, and at the turn, was leading the former champion by 4 holes. Playing a deadly approach game, the big ball player kept on even terms with his opponent for the first 5 holes of their second nine, and thus ended the battle 5

Goodwin staged a game fight, on several occasions driving the greens, but each time the deadly Williams' second shot laid the ball up to save the hole. Payne's defeat of Carter was impressive in that it depicted a fiery youth, still in his 'teens matching shot for shot with a cool veteran of the Carter type. The laid finished Carter on the seventeenth hole, when the older player found himself facing the impossible task of overtaking a 3-hole handicap in a single bye hole. Two of the most outstanding upsets were experienced in the defeat of Nat Mackell, winner of the 1927 Public Links Championships, by Tommy Edwards, and Honesty's overwhelming victory over "Dodo" Adams.

Bisons Triumph in Debut Here, Beating Smith 19-6
Carolinians Count First But Lead is Quickly Overcome. Colorful Crowd Looks On As Marshall Performs in Stellar Role
Little or no difficulty was experienced by the Howard University football team in its second successive victory of the 1928 season, at the Howard Stadium, last Saturday afternoon. Johnson C. Smith University, of Charlotte, N.C., was its latest victim by a score of 19-6.
A crowd of some 2500 persons, young and old, male and female, pretty and homely, heavily clad and otherwise, sat and stood by as the Bison eleven, with machine-like precision, mowed down its little opponent from the South. The former Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association team scored first, but the tally was made on the Blue and White seconds, and immediately Coach Charlie West sent in his first-stringers to see to it that the local goal line was defended more along the lines "a la Hoyle."
The start of the contest saw Doc Charlie's "shock troops" facing the Biddle crew. The visitors elected to kick-off and the Bisons opened up an aspiring offensive which was brought to a sudden and, for the time, disastrous termination when Jack Martin, invading quarterback, intercepted a Blue and White forward pass on his own 20-yard line and zig-zagged through the entire Howard eleven for a touchdown. Hall's attempted kick for the extra point went wild. Wee Willie Marshall, the New Jersey flash, was again in the limelight as the local team took its first engagement on familiar soil. Just as in the opening game of the season, Marshall, on several occasions, brought the crowd to its feet by sensational broken field runs, and effective and timely line bucks.

FIRST GAME OF TITULAR SERIES SUNDAY
SALIENT FACTS FOR FIRST
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
GAME
TEAMS — Anacostia Athletics,
Class A vs. Piedmont A.C., Class
B.
TITLE — City Senior Baseball
Championship.
WHERE — Brookland, D.C.
WHEN — Sunday, October 21, 1928.
TIME — 2:15 p.m. sharp.
UMPIRES — Lacy (plate); Chunn,
Tenleytown (1st base); Gregg,
Hillsdales (3rd base).
Following their defeat of the
Brookland Giants, last Sunday, at
Brookland, Pee Wee Sheppard's
Piedmont A.C. baseball team, winners in Class B of the Washington
Tribune League, will take the field this Sunday in the same neck of
the Brookland woods, against the crack Anacostia Athletics, champions
of Class A of the same loop.
The Piedmont team was hard pushed to obtain the gonfalon of their section, just as were the Athletics. In Class B, there were five teams still in the running at the end of September, and only through diligent and cooperative effort were the Sheppardites able to emerge on top of the heap. The boys from across the river, however, had an even tougher time winning their honors (if such can be possible) than the Piedmonts. From the very opening of the season, last May until their final game, September 23, the Anacostians were pushed and for a long time headed by the strong Hillsdale A.C. It was their 6-3 victory over the LeDroit Parkers which gave the Athletics the Class A flag. Both teams are well primed for the battle. Pitchers are in top form and battlers are keyed and waiting. A record crowd is expected to attend.
Two umpires from the league lot of officials have been selected to work with Lacy, president of the circuit, and sport-editor of the Washington Tribune.
COTTON STOCKING WINS
VERDICT OVER CHESTY
SILK ENEMY
According to the current issue of the Dunbur High School "Observer," student publication, stock in the antiquated and heretofore almost relegated cotton hosiery received quite a boost with the announcement, at the beginning of the school year, that silk stockings must be abandoned when girls of that institution report for physical training classes.
The pretty coeds, who formerly too kmuch pains and care with the appearance of their—but we say limbwear—before leaving the building to report to the stadium for their classes, must, if they hope to be within the law, don the less attractive hosiery. While the cotton stockings are less attractive, the athletes of today are not in the habit of wearing fancy hose, so saythe teachers.
LINCOLN IN EASY WIN OVER SHAW GRIDDERS
CHESTER, Pa.-Coach W. E. Morrison's Lincoln Lion football machine took the measure of the Shaw University eleven, here last Saturday, 33-7. Harmon, Lion halfback, led the scoring by carrying the oval over on three occasions for the Orange and Blue aggregation. Captain Julie Martin counted two touchdowns. Ross, one of the second stringers, did his part by adding another after a thrilling run of about twenty-five yards. A pass from Armstrong to Griffin made the only tally of the game for the Southern aggregation.
Washington Tribune
played an exceptional game, both offensively and defensively.
A 35-yard run around the Carolinians' left end by Marshall, in the second quarter, accounted for the first Howard score. Shelton, a product of the local Dunbar High School, fell on a blocked punt, in the third period and added the second touchdown to the Blue and White cause. Just before the same period was about to end, Captain Hoss Ross, carried the oval over, via line plunge, from the 16-yard line where he had previously placed it on a pass from Coles. Two of the three attempts to add the extra point, were failures.

REVIEW
INJURY TO KEEP BROWN OUT FOR ENTIRE SEASON
With both bones of the lower leg broken, Dan Brown, stellar Howard University football player, will be out of the game for the rest of the season, according to Freedmen's Hospital physicians, in a statement made to Tribune reporters, Wednesday. Brown, whose huge form has been a familiar one in the Blue and White backfield for the past three years, will watch the rest of the 1928 season from the Bison sidelines. The loss of Brown will be a serious handicap to the aspirations of the Howardites, not only because of his ability to gain ground, but because of his good judgment and influence on men of less experience. This was Brown's last year at football, both because of the four-year rule and because he plans to enter Dental School next fall.
At the hospital where he is confined, Brown is in a most cheerful mood. He regards his injury as "just a break of the game." Meanwhile, Coach Charles West, at his post on the hill is working diligently in an attempt to fill the gap left by the loss of his star fullback. He is much pleased with the progress of Wilson, the fleet and shifty back from New Jersey, and also feels confident that with the complete rounding into form of Jack Young, the fullback berth will be well taken care of.
SON OF PERRY HOWARD INJURED IN FOOTBALL PRACTICE
Lucas G. Howard, son of Perry W. Howard, National Republican Committeeman from Mississippi, and a member of the Dunbar High School football squad, is at Curtis's Sanitarium, suffering a broken leg, which he received during a practice scrimmage between varsity and second team of the school, Wednesday. Howard's leg was fractured just above the ankle when he was clipped by one of his teammates.
SEVEN CAPITAL BOYS STAR IN C.I.A.A. GAME
LYNCHBURG, Va. — Seven Washington boys were in the line light as Virginia State College, presenting its strongest eleven in years, conquered the Virginia Seminary football team, 27 to 12, last Saturday afternoon.
"Red" Dabney, captain of the 1927 Armstrong High School grid team, starred on the winning team, while Slim Henderson, Red Fowler, "Runt" White, Ray Burton, and "Agey" Johnson and Eda Davis, in places on the Seminary eleven, stood out. It was to Dabney that the greatest honor went. In addition to being a constant menace to the Seminary offense with his stellar defensive work, the former Armstrong star scintillated with his ball-carrying. Dabney made one touchdown, counted two extra points, by line plunges, and gained with consistency whenever called upon to run the ball.
The work of White was easily the outstanding factor in the Seminary works. A 55-yard run by him placed the ball deep in State territory, from where two plays later, White carried it over for the first Dragon score. The other local touchdown was made by Davis, after a series of passes from him to Henderson, then White, then Fowler, put the oval on the 12-yard line.

A SCENE from the "Foreign Legion," feature picture at the Republic Theatre next week, with Norman Kerry and Mary Noland.
blackface comic, so essential to Negro offerings of the past, is conspicuous by his absence. Whether Broadway will stand for this or not remains to be seen. The offering traces the Negro from the courts of an Egyptian Kingdom, through the Saraha desert to the slave ships and to American shores. The slave camps, plantation days and thus to Harlem.
The melodies register automatically and turn the auditors away humming. Among the outstanding performances is that of Lewis Cole and Pearl McCormack, who are brimful of personality and ability and add a warmth of youth that is refreshing. Shelton Brooks and Ed Pugh are responsible for the comedy while the picturesque touch in many scenes is furnished by Maurice Hunter. Three quartets form the nucleus of one of the best singing organizations seen here in many moons. Among the individual stars are Mabel Ridly, Sterling Grant, Pearl Darrrell, Whitney and Tutt, Jimmy Johnson, Howard Elmore, Harry Mays, and Charles Willis. There is however no attempt made to carry the show on individuals, but "Deep Harlem" as a unit is the predominating aim of the producers.

Burnt Cork Artist Out as "Deep Harlem" Starts New Vogue in Musical Comedy
There is really no legitimate excuse for this article which is supposed to be a review of "Deep Harlem," at the Howard this week, because if you have seen the show already nothing I could say can add or detract and if you haven't the best I could say is beat it right around there as soon as you can and let it go at that.
Just to be consistent and fill up this side of the page, I might tell what it is all about. Of course, there is nothing new under the sun, "Deep Harlem," no exception. While the production is an innovation in this modern age of revues, sketches and whatnots it is merely a revival of those stupendous musical extravaganzas of the days of Williams and Walker when good singing, good dancing and some form of continuity were essentials. "Deep Harlem" possesses all of these qualities.
Perfect Picture
The theme song "Deep Harlem" is a haunting melody that seems to be a cross between the old folk songs of slavery days and the jazz of the present day. The theme scenes depicting Harlem life and Harlem types are so carefully portrayed that they seem as though stepped from between the covers of Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem" or Van Vechten's "Nigger Heaven." Looking at the scene under the marque of the Lafayette Theatre one could feel perfectly at home.

The New York American and West Indian News report the following interview with Tim Moore:
"Contrary to the opinion held by most professional funmakers, Tim Moore, comedian in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," at the Liberty Theatre, believes the work of making audiences laugh not such an arduous task.
"It must be remembered,' says Tim Moore, 'that audiences come to the theatre prepared to laugh. That is, they are in a receptive mood to accept anything that borders on a joke, whether it is a line or a situation. The rest, of course, is up to the comedian. If his sense of the ridiculous is pitched to a higher degree than other laugh makers, he emerges a greater comedian. The big fact, however, is that unless play-goers were psychologically attuned to accept laughs, even the smartest comedians would die a horrible death.
"Comedy is a natural gift. We accept it as a fact that when an actor emerges on the professional stage as a comic he has a sharper sense of laugh qualities than the average person. The playgoer, accepting this as a fact, comes to the theatre ready to laugh. The material, therefore, must be pretty bad when a comedian fails to evoke laughter."
Moore expresses an attitude different from most actor folk, who possess more conceit than ability and hold a grudge against every newspaper critic who doesn't rave over their flap doodle.
The average actor makes up his mind that he is good and thinks everybody who doesn't agree with him is a jackass.

JOSEPHINE BAKER BUSY BUT HOMESICK
COPENHAGEN, — Jos e phine Baker, famous Harlem dancer, who has taken Europe by storm is kept busy but is getting homesick for dear old New New York, she admitted, this week.
A
Although Josephine is the most popular American in these parts, she is getting tired of it all and wants to take it easy. She is now working in a revue, "Wien, Wien—Oh, Josephine," here and is hitting on all cyclinders. Not only that, but she is doing night club work. Miss Baker is now completing a barnstorming tour which included Oslo and Stockholm. After the tour ends she will take a
rest in Berlin while acting for the moving pictures and appear nightly at a cabaret. What little rest she will have then, only she knows! She said:
In Berlin, she will open with her own revue in the Theatre des Westans, in November. There she will sing in the German language. Miss Baker also will open a cafe in Berlin, somewhat on the order of the one she had in Paris. The cafe will be called "Chez Josephine."
KARLE COOK HERE
Karle Cook, veteran actor well known locally, is a member of the "Deep Harlem" company. He was a member of the Williams' and Walker Company and understudied for the late Bert Williams. He was one of the founders of the Imperial Lodge of Elks in New York and has also written many popular numbers. He started as a chorus boy 20 years ago.
MAURICE HUNTER
FAMOUS MODEL, HERE
After working for eleven years as an artist model, Maurice Hunter makes his initial stage appearance in "Deep Harlem." His histronic ability which has won him such fame as depicter of Negro types for both canvas, marble and bronze, serves him in good stead on the stage where his poses add the
Harlem." His histronic ability which has won him such fame as depicter of Negro types for both canvas, marble and bronze, serves him in good stead on the stage where his poses add the picturesque to the stupendous production. Mr. Hunter has posed for the leading artists and sculptors of the country and is much sought after for class room work in the leading art schools of the country. The inset is a pen sketch by one of the many artists who have used him in their work.
COOK WORKS ON OPERA
Will Marion Cook, author and composer, has isolated himself at a farm house on the Washington Boulevard and is at work on an opera score.
He is also training a chorus of 30 to broadcast on a big hook-up of radio stations soon.
Musical composition is not a matter of genius, says Mr. Cook, it's painstaking work.

lowing to say:
"Just what caused this newest vogue is a matter of conjecture, of course. At that, as is intimated in movie circles, it may doubtless be the result of the success attending the Negro stage shows and the Negro literature, such as "Nigger Heaven," and "Home to Harlem." Whatever the cause, there's no mistaking its presence. And it seems to be here to stay."
"Daniel Haynes started out as a minister, became a business man, and then was made an actor by theatrical friends, having been put without notice into the understudy role of Charles Gilpin in "The Bottom of the Cup." Gilpin's subsequent illness put him into the leading role. Later he understudied Jules Bledsoe in "Show Boat," and played that part four weeks while Bledsoe was ill. He is a graduate of the Morris Brown University of Chicago.

PLAN 3 RACE FILMS FOR BROADWAY
Honey Brown and Others Chosen for "Hallelujah" Cast
CALLED NEW VOGUE
NEW YORK—The selection of Honey Brown, pretty Harlem toe dancer and entertainer, as the star of King Vidor's new all-race film, "Hallelujah," has started what the New York Evening World calls a brand new vogue in the movies.
Of this vogue the World says: "In a few months there will be a veritable epidemic of Negro pictures on Broadway. And they will not be anything in the nature of fly-by-night enterprises, either. They'll be regular feature-length stories of Negro life portrayed by Negro casts under the supervision of the largest producers in the industry.
"Hallelujah"
"Hallelujah," written by King Vidor, famed director of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporatoin, will be shot in Nashville, Tenn. He left with a company including Honey Brown, Daniel Haynes, Mrs. Florence Belle DeKnight, and others, last week.
Two Others Planned
In a few weeks Pathe will get to work to bring "Porgy" to the screen, and there'll be only one white player in the cast. The Semler Sinema Service, a local corporation, is laying the groundwork in Harlem for a third one. Tiffany-Stahl has one in mind. Octavus Roy Cohen's stories are even now being transmuted into film form in Hollywood. And there are others.

1928 Unlucky Season for Stage Love Affairs
Dan Cupid Weeps as Romances of Show Folk Are Shattered
MANY PARTNERSHIPS
Is 1928 a bad season for theatrical romances? Is Dan Cupid falling down on the job back stage? These and many other questions are baffling show folk as one partnership after another is dissolved and one professional team after another, known to be lovers off stage is broken up. Many a broken heart is carrying on gamely beneath a smiling face
GERTIE WELLS' SOCIETY ORCHESTRA
The most surprising of these affairs was the sudden dissolution of the partnership of Earl Dancer and Ethel Waters, thought by many to be the ideal couple, taking their successes and defeats together.
Sat In Opposite Boxes
At the opening of "Deep Harlem," Dancer's new show, Harlem was much astir when Ethel appeared in one box, with Eddie Matthews of Detroit, who rumor says is her new lover, and Earl appeared in another with Cora Green, his former partner, and whom he says will be his wife.
What About "Hamtree"?
This occurrence caused much speculation as to what would happen to the team of Harrington and Green. "Hamtree" Harrington and Cora were booked over the Keith Circuit for the past two years. They are continuing their pro-
They are continuing their professional engagements.
Paulis and Darrell
The theatrical folk are also raising their brows in wonder at the announcement that Pearl Darrell, of the famous dance team of Paulis and Darrell, has joined "Deep Harlem," and her partner Laura Paulis remained in New York for the first time in two years.
"We were never sweethearts," declared Miss Darrell, "just professional friends, more like sister and brother."
In explaining why Paulis refused to join "Deep Harlem," she stated that the role called for him dancing in the nude which he refused to do.
Juvenile Lovers
One of the most beautiful romances of the stage which is attracting the attention of oldtimers is that of Pearl McCormack and Louis Cole, dancers in "Deep Harlem," who are lovers both on and off the stage.
Many Teams
Other famous male and female teams are John Drake and Mabel Walker, who have been veterans for years. "Chappie" Chappell and Anita Stinette, Butter Beans and Susie, and numerous others. The love affairs of Josephine Baker and her "count" was the topic of discussion on two continents.
FILMLAND
FOUR GOOD FEATURES AT BROADWAY
Sunday and Monday, D. W. Griffith's daring picture, "Drums of Love," with Mary Philbin and Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles. The stroy deals with the love of a man for his brother's wife and the question is, is illicit love ever justified? For Tuesday only, that vivacious star, Bebe Daniels, in "The Fifty-Girl." Wednesday and Thursday, King Vidor, the man who made "The Big Parade," will present his latest picture, "The Crowd." It's a great drama of everyday life, with James Murray, Eleanor Boardman and Bert Roach.
LOSING OUT WITH ACTORS
Four years ago this month these winsome damsels composed Irvin C. Miller's first "Brown Skin Models." Last week his fourth edition played at the Howard here. Some of these are still with the producer and like it. Mr. Miller's "Models" is one of the national institutions of the Negro stage.
Friday and Saturday, those popular double feature bills, with Fred Thompson in "The Sunset Legion," and that great team, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton in "The Big Killing." For three days next week the Broadway will show that great picture, "The Big Parade."
"KING OF KINGS" IS LINCOLN ATTRACTION
In response to the many requests from their patrons, the management of the Lincoln Theatre has booked for one week, beginning Saturday, Oct. 20, DeMille's production, "King of Kings." DeMille is the producer of many outstanding productions, and now the next wonder of the screen comes to you, "King of Kings." Mr. DeMille based "King of Kings" on the story of the Gospels and the life of the divine Man of Nazareth. The color and warmth of real human interest are here. The story runs the gauntlet from the redemption of the Magdalene; the cleansing of the temple; the attempt to crown Jesus as King of the Jews; the betrayal of the Lord; the capture at Gethsemane; the trial before Pilate; the catastrophe on Golgotha; the eclipse, the storm, and earthquake.

FOREIGN LEGION
AT REPUBLIC
The Republic Theatre will present "The Foreign Legion." Universal's dramatic screen adaption of "The Red Mirage," as its feature on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, October 20, 21, 22 and 23. The novel was a gripping story of love and duty set against the chromatic background of the French Foreign Legion in Algiers. Lewis Stone and Norman Kerry are co-starred in the picture. Both are favorites and both have exceptional roles in this picture. Opposite them are two popular women, Mary Nolan and June Marlowe. The story concerns a British society man and an Army officer who becomes infatuated with an unscrupulous woman.
"Road House," a story of modern youth, will be the feature picture on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, October 24, 25 and 26. Lionel Barrymore heads a superlative cast which includes Maria Alba, Julia Swayne Gordon and Warren Burke. Lionel Barrymore as the father whose indiscretions set an example for his son to follow has one of the best roles of his career. As announced last week, the Republic will present a complete change of Vitaphone acts with each feature picture.
