TWO HERE GET AWARDS EXTRA Local Man is Slain In Theater Holdup Matt Taylor, Former Dunbar Manager, Gives Life Protecting Receipts From Thug CHICAGO, Ill. (By wire).—A lone gunman stepped from Chicago's fanned underworld, here, last Sunday night, and paid a visit, brief but costly, to the Metropolitan Theatre. A lone bandit, bent on a mission of crime, though frustrated in his effort to make away with $2,000 of the day's receipts, pulled the trigger which snuffed out the life of Matthew M. Taylor, Jr., youthful manager of the house, who attempted to save his employer's money, with the supreme sarrice. The bandit is alleged to have pressed a revolver to the side of Mrs. Lillian deed Lee, organist, as she was viewing a picture, and whipped in her ear. "Take me unstairs to the office, or I will kill you." Mrs. Lillian deed Lee, ornith as the band, and his torter stricken on organist colored. He moved the mother and lunged at the intruder, grappening with him in an attempt to gain possession of the weapon. During the struggle he was shot four times. The report of the revolver caused a near riot as patrons rushed from the theatre panic stricken. Anto Collides with Another Taylor was rushed to the hospital in a passing automobile which collided with another vehicle en route. The manager was pronounced dead upon arrival. Taylor was well known in Washington, D.C., where he was for several years assistant manager of the Dunbar theater. He resigned his position at the D.C. house on August 5, 1927, to take the Metropolitan post. He was also manager of the Carlyle Basketball Club in Washington for several years. Buried Father Here Taylor was last in Washington about one month ago when he was called home to the death-bed of his father, the late Matthew M. Taylor, of Anacostia. A record for quick legal action was established by Peter P. Richardson, attorney, when he filed, served and settled a suit for damages in one-half hour, last week. Mr. Richardson represented James H. Baby, of Norfolk, Va., who instituted suit against T. H. Warner, of Philadelphia, to recover damages after a collision. The suit was filed at 2 o'clock and the papers were served on the defendant a few moments later in the municipal court where a police investigation into the accident was being conducted. Defence attorneys from the law offices of Latimer and Hall, white, asked Judge O'Toole to quash the service on the ground that the papers had been served in a police court and were therefore null and void. Judge O'Toole was of the opinion that the service was not good in law but permitted Mr. Richardson to present briefs on the subject, which he did, quoting four cases in which service in police courts had been considered acceptable in the eyes of the court. Upon this proof Judge O'Toole overruled the motion of the defence and permitted the parties involved to adjust the matter out of court. The case in its entirely consumed but half an hour, and both were permitted to leave the city for their respective homes. ATTEND KAPPA CONCLAVE George E. C. Hayes and Mortimer M.

DUBOIS ATTACKS NEGRO PRESS "Advertisements are given to Negro newspapers either as charity or as a sort of black-mail" declared Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, editor of the Crisis magazine, in a speech before the Founders' Day meeting of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. Thursday, night, December 20. In his speech he made an appeal for better and more remunerative support of the Crisis and of the advertising columns of the "official organ" of the organization. He stated that advertisers purchase space in white magazines and newspapers to make their products household words. According to Dr. DuBois, the Negro newspapers can serve no such purpose (Continued on page 2) Present indications point to a split in the connect Republican organization in the house of representatives over approaching reapportionment legislation. The census committee has the Fenn bill to report to the house. Twenty-one states seem destined to lose representation, and if the bill reaches the senate, 21 senators will fight for its defeat. Speaker Nicholas Longworth and Floor Leader Tilson, Republicans, are determined there shall be no increase in the total representation in the house, holding that additional members would make the body unwieldy. BLANK CARTRIDGE ALMOST PROVES FATAL A loaded "blank" cartridge fired at him by a friend almost resulted seriously for Beverly Peterson, 40, 1606 Ninth street, northwest, Monday night. Peterson was shot in the hand by James Carter, 1617 Sixth street, northwest, while he was visiting at the latter's home. At Freedmen's Hospital, where Peterson was taken by Carter, Dr. H. E. Wharton rendered first aid and described his condition as not critical. The injured man was sent home with instructions to return for clinical treatment. GET HARMON PRIZES S. W.

PERRY FOUND DEAD Former President & Founder of the Standard Life Insurance Company Dies Suddenly KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Heman E. Perry, founder and former president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., was found here Friday dead in bed. Heart trouble was thought to have been the cause of his death. Perry has had a most colorful career as a financier and promoter of Negro enterprises. He has won and lost fortunes on more than one occasion and has staged a financial come back after being dowled. Best a being the greatest devotee behind the growth and development of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., which was recently merged with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city in the most stupendous business deal ever negotiated by Negroes, he was also the dreamer whose visions materialized into what was at one time one of the most gigantic undertakings in the history of Negro business. Out of the Standard Life there grew nine distinct enterprises functioning in Atlanta, Ga. alone. They were the Citizens' Company, Service Reality Company, Service Pharmacy, Service Printing Co., Service Foundation, Inc., Service Farm Bureau, National Fuel Corporation, Penny Savings Bank, Service Engineering and Construction Co. Mr. Perry had the unusual gift of picking trained young men to head up the enterprises conceived by his active brain. The Service Corporation which was organized in 1917 developed from a $100,000.00 organization into one representing $5,500,000.00 in a few short years. In Many Fields Besides the insurance field Mr. Perry invaded many kinds of industry hitherto never undertaken by Negroes. He was found in the construction business, real estate, mining and financed the Southern farmers in their fight against the destructive bell wesewl. Of Mr. Perry, R. H.

HOWARD EMANCIPATION SPEAKER Berry W. Howard. Republican national committeeman, deliverer the principal address at the emancipation celebration at Williamsburg, Va., January 1. The Christmas holidays will be a memorable occasion for Manning C. Jones, editor of the Charleston Colored American, who returned to enjoy the hospitality of his old home town only to be robbed of his wallet, credentials and railroad ticket by a U street flapper, Thursday night. According to the story told by the unfortunate editor to a Tribune representative who discovered him wandering the streets in a dazed condition, he had made the acquaintance of a young woman while taking in a show at the Lincoln Theatre, and had been invited to a whoop-it-up party in Willberger street. He accepted the invitation, but remembered little of the night's happenings other than the fact that he was given a knockout dose and frisked of his purse and turned out. Was Born Here Mr. Jones is a native of Washington, having graduated from the M Street High School in 1838. In 1903 he graduated from Brown University. He has been engaged in the publishing business for a number of years in Charleston, and this year decided to visit his old home town.

What is more revolting than the crime of the victim or the brutality of the mob is the revelation of the fear in which Negroes of the Mississippi Delta who are held in literal peonage hold for their masters which caused Tom Shepherd, brother of the man, to deliver him into the hands of his mistress that she might collect the numerous rewards which were placed on his head. Captured by Woman After eluding, for three days, a thousand men armed with rifles and pistols, Shepherd was captured singlehanded to-day by Miss Laura Mae Keeler when he took refuge with a brother, Tom Shepherd, living on her plantation. Tom, terror stricken, less he too be made an innocent object of the violence of the mob if his brother were found in his shanty told his mistress of the fugitive's presence. The woman with the aid of armed men with bloodhounds started by automobile toward the penitentiary. So quickly did the 200 cars containing the armed posse pick up the trail and overhaul the automobile in which the prisoner was riding that it is felt certain that some members of the party notified the mob and had no intention that the Negro should reach the hands of the armed guards, who were waiting to protect him, alive. Shepherd's funeral pyre was built not far from the spot where he released Ruth Duvall after for- ging her to accompany him on a thirty-hour forced march across Parchman plantations. After riddling his body with bullets it was placed upon the pye covered with gasoline and burned to a crisp. FOUNDER'S DAUGHTER IS CHRISTMAS BRIDE 9.4158189 N.C.

(CNS) — That these United States have one law for rich men who steal big, another law for the worker who steals to keep from starving, and still another for such a worker who happens to be colored, was demonstrated for the 'steenth time recently when George Corey, a young worker, was sentenced to one year in the house of correction. Corey was accused of stealing four hams from the firm of Swift & Company. When Corey stole the hams on the night of April 7, he was shot and seriously wounded by the night watchman.

NEW YEAR EVE'S LYNCHING ALT'RS N.A.C.P. REPORT Low Record In South Has Increase Before Old Year Goes Out NEW YORK CITY.—The national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced this week that the year 1928 set a mark with the lowest number of lynchings for the past forty years. Statistics show that there were only nine lynchings of Negroes in 1928 as compared with 175 in 1898, the first year that official records were kept. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, commenting on the difference, said: "Of course, no result will be satisfactory until lynching has been entirely stamped out in this country, and law becomes paramount." The figures show, said Johnson, "that throughout the country, particularly in the South, with the exception of Mississippi, distinct progress is being made." Another lynching was added to the list New Year's eve when a mob in Rome, Mississippi, burned a Negro on a funeral pyre. BOSTON, Dec.

"The unfortunate happenings which led to the difficulties and troubles of these two financial institutions are well known to the public. It, nevertheless, remains true that Mr. Perry's energy, race loyalty and unflagging courage were responsible for the establishment of these two great institutions, which still remain as monuments to the efforts of this remarkable man. "Standard Life came under the control and direction of National Benefit after it had passed from Mr. Perry's influence—but, it will always be a matter of pride to us that after all of its difficulties we were able to save it as a financial institution for the benefit of the race in whose interest it was established." L. W. Thornton and J. Percy Bond of the local branch of the Victory Life Insurance Company in a statement to the Tribune, said "The race loses one of the most colorful characters in the Negro business world. His pioneering and far-sighted vision have been a vital force and have served as an inspiration to others in the field of insurance."

Nor was the editor of the "official organ" through. He went on to advise the people of Washington that their support of the Crisis would not be missed if it were entirely withdrawn. Statements False An examination of the advertising columns of several papers for the week ending December 22, 1928, shows patronage far above any such sordid status as Dr. DuBois sought to picture as the truth. Taking two local papers, the "Tribune" and the "Eagle"; two New York papers the "Age" and the "Amsterdam News"; two Chicago papers, the "Defender" and the "Bee"; the "Philadelphia Tribune" the "Pittsburgh Courier" and the Baltimore "Afro-American"; and there will be found about 6500 inches of advertising or approximately 320 columns, of which 45 columns were classified ads and 95 columns were general advertising. The Washington Tribune has about 775 inches, or approximately 39 columns of advertising, which shows a growing disposition on the part of advertisers to patronize Negro newspapers on their merits as good advertising mediums.

TWO OF THREE BOUTS TO NEGROES, ONE DRAW NEW YORK.—Two race fighters got the judges' nod and another was given a draw here in Madison Square Garden on Friday night on the Hudkins-DeVos card. Jack McVey, the Harlem middle-weight, completely outclassed Vincent Forgione, of Philadelphia, in a ten-round number. It was the best bout of the evening and McVey's margin of victory was considerable. The Stable Hoff entry was in splendid physical condition and battled Jack with desperation all of the way. McVey's superior skill and hitting powers told toward the end and he administered the greater punishment. His left hand jab worried Vince considerably and mussed up his features constantly. Gorilla Jones, of Akron, and Tony Vacarelli fought ten rounds to a draw. The Gorilla suffered an injury to his left hand early in the bout and had to favor the wounded paw after the fourth round. Several times Jones' vicious uppercuts with his right straightened Tony like a whiff of ammonia.—W. Rollo Wilson, Courier. Wiley on Top in Texas College Conference MARSHALL. Tex.-Wiley won the Texas College Conference championship for the second consecutive time, this past year, by defeating every conference member. A glance at the above table will make it clear just why the Cats were able to take the measure of their Texas opponents. While not a highpowered scoring machine, their defense was nigh perfect, Prairie View being the only conference team to count against them.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 4. 1929 Carlisles Exhibit Mastery of Game in Beating Schos Henderson Runs Wild in First Half, But is Held as Ailor Replaces Keller for Scholastics. Baltimore Team No Match for Locals. Playing inspired basketball, which could not have been easily improved even had they had great er worlds to conquer, the Lichtman Theatre (Orlisles turned the fast Baltimore Scholastics back to the tune of a 37-2 licking at the Lincoln Colonnade, here, last Friday night. Displaying an uncanny knack of looping two-pointers when they counted most, the Carlisle tossers finished the game in one-sided fashion. The Oriole combination, in the closing minutes, gave up hope as they were forced to acknowledge impending defeat. The stellar floor work of Eddie Davis, who with Slim Henderson, forms the tower of strength of the Virginia Seminary 1928 C.I.A.A. court champions, was the outstanding feature of a game replete with thrills. Although the visitors found the going too rough for them as the contest entered into the waning minutes, the efforts of Chink Wyatt, Mike Rhodes and Buddy Allor kept things lively for the spectators. It was the work of the latter which held the heretofore uncontrollable Henderson to a lone field basket in the entire second half. From the very outset the contest was a rough-and-tumble affair. Both teams found themselves handicapped by the various methods employed in roughing their opponents. At times it appeared as if fist fights between the contestants could barely be averted. The entire Carlisle machine worked with utmost precision, and they appeared to be in a kind of mood, Friday night, which would have made them tough opponents for the cream of the country's basketball. Bordentown Ahead In First Game Abroad ORANGE, N.J.—On Christmas night, before a rabidly partisan crowd of close to a thousand rooters, the Bordentown basketball team filled its first engagement away from home for the 1929 season in trampling over the strong Titan Bears of Orange by a 39-25 count. The game, played on the large floor of the Orange Armory, was unusually fast from start to finish, and was featured by clean action on the part of the players. Jesse Miles, coach and leader of the Orangites, was the main cog in the Titan machine, while Stretch Russ and "Rajah" Hamilton, his midset running mate, starred for the school boys.

(CNS)—Because one young Negro on a crowded I. R. T. Flushing local, did not give up his seat to a woman, six members of the U.S. Navy, attacked him and tried to evict every Negro occupant of the train. Filled with "giggle water," and not conscious of their actions although they are never fully aware of what they are doing, the navy attempted to instruct the Negro occupants in courtesy, but ended in hasty retreat before the counter attack of infuriated Negroes who refused to have ruffians as instructors. RUBBER GAME TO COMMUNITY BY BIG MARGIN RUBBER GAME TO COMMUNITY BY BIG MARGIN BALTIMORE, Md. — A baffling attack which kept the spectators as well as their opponents in a complete dare throughout the 40 minutes of play, led the Community Yellowjackets of Washington to a decisive 44-27 victory over the local Scholastic five, at New Albert Auditorium, here, Monday night. Accompanied by upward of 100 Capital City fans, who journeyed over to watch their favorites perform in this so-called "rubber" game, the Yellowjackets took the floor in a determined mood, and proceeded to show Chink Wyatt and his gang of Schos how basketball is played "a la hoye." Cagging baskets from far and near, hard and easy, the Orange and Black machine jumped into an early lead and was never overhauded. At the half they led 20-11. Prior to the game, the series between the two teams was deadlocked, each having won one game. Immediately upon the resumption of play following the rest period, Slim Thomas, stellar pivotman of the Washington combine, took his own tap, dribbled to the sideline and sank a two-pointer. No one beside the lanky Thomas touched the ball. Thereafter, the Communities piled up a comfortable lead, by continuing the bombardment on the cords they had begun in the first period. With every one of their five players participating in the counting the Capital City aggregation, by the time the three-quarters mark had been reached was far out in front. The final ten minutes was consumed by a semi-freeze which the Yellowjackets eyecaped with amazing precision.

Galaxy of Stars Included in Line-up. For the first time in the past vve years of local basketball, fans hereabouts will be granted the opportunity of seeing one of the few "Class A" teams of the country in action when the mighty Ritz Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., appears against the Community Yellowjackets, at the Colonnade, January 15. The Ritz Quint, which is generally accepted as the successor to the famous Loenid composition of Cum Posey's reign, presents a combination of the leading court talent of the west. Managed by Bill Nunn, former Sport editor of the Pittsburgh Courier newspaper, the gold and Blue machine, has established a most enviable record for the past three years. Besides playing the far famed Renaissance to a standstill before succumbing to a five-point defeat, last season, the Pittsburghers opened the present season with a decisive 36-55 win over the highly touted Baltimore Athenians, on the latter's own floor. A galaxy of stars go to make up the Ritz aggregation. Doug Henry, former Dunbar High School star athlete, and for the past three years stellar Loendi guard, holds down the defensive portion of the Ritz play, alongside of Vie Harris, formerly of the Cleveland Elks and Homestead Grays. "Pappy Williams, conceded to be as near a perfect take-oc of Old Master Slocum as can be found, does the jumping for the clan. The scoring attack is taken care of, and that very well, by a pair of youngsters whose work together has proven that they were made to be running mates. "Hooks" Tinker, a deceptive passer and an uncanny shot, fills in ideally with Gus Neville, whom Smokey City fans rank with Georgie Fall, Specks Moten and Pappy Ricks, as possessor of one of the deadliest eyes Pittsburgh has known.

(CNS) — Not content with handing out the dirtiest and worst paid jobs to Negro workers, who are driven for long hours under miserable conditions, the J. L. Hudson Co., Detroit's largest department store became the latest to employ discriminatory tactics against the race, by instituting the Jim Crow system here recently. Negro employees have been told that if they cared to continue to purchase lunch in the company's cafeteria, they would have to sit in a corner of the dining room by themselves. The order was received with great resentment by the colored workers, and from that day all of them have been going outside to lunch rather than be jim-crowed in the store. It was further ordered that the colored maids, elevator girls and other female employees could not occupy the same rest rooms as the white girls, but must all go to the fourth basement. This move has caused bitter feeling among Negro residents here and a determined move is on foot to boycott the establishment. PORTERS THANK FRIENDS Pulman porters, perhaps, more than any other group of wage earners are especially indebted to the public, because it has been the public which has made it possible for them to live, since their meagre wages of $72.50 per month are sorely inadequate. Moreover, the public has shown a remarkably generous and sympathetic attitude towards the porters' organization's fight for a living wage. In a statement given out by porters this week they say, "We wish to thank the Negro press, especially for its effective, fair-minded and race-patriotic spirit in giving liberally of its space to the cause of economic justice, and solidarity of Negro wage earners. We, therefore, wish the black and white public and the black and white press a happy and prosperous New Year A VALUABLE ASS PREVENTION E. Z. NASAL SPRAY is merit in combating germs in E. Z.

LICHTMAN FIVE BOOKS FAMOUS JEWISH CLUB On Thursday, January 10, the Lightman Carlisle Five will present to the basketball fans of Washington the fast fresh Collegeians Club. This game promises to be the biggest attraction staged here since the Boston Whirlwinds-Carlisle game in 1926. This club is composed of some of the most famous Jewish players in the country today. Notable among them are Sydney Wallerstein of Cass University, Cleveland; Lee Levine of Lehigh University, Pennsylvania; Forvin Fine and Nate Lerru of Georgetown University; Harold Conklin for 3 years all scholastic forward of Central High School, Patterson, New Jersey; and Pennett Hirsch of Florida University. It has often been conceded that Jewish athletes are natural born basketball players and with a combination of such well-known performers as listed above it looks as though the Carlisle tossers are in favor for a good night's work.

No Readings Given By Mail THREE --- CAPTIST CLERGY HARDEST HIT BY NEGRO WRITER Modern Ministers More Immoral, Less Tolerant but Just as Ignorant As Predecessors, Charge A scathing indictment of the Negro clergy in contained in an article written by Ernest R. McKinney, of Pittsburgh, entitled the "Menace of the Negro Preacher" published in the current issue of the Haldeman-Julius monthly, a white publication. Among other things Mr. McKinny says, "The old-time Negro preacher has been succeeded by a new type. As a group they are more venal, more immoral, less tolerant and just as ignorant. Of course, there are differences among them just as there are differences among the denominations to which Negro folk adhere. These differences, though, are a matter of degree. It seems that the whole church fabric is the tail end of civilization and the Negro church is at the extremest end. It is perhaps true though that the difference between the Negro and the white church is due to the difference in education and training. "The Negro church in all its glory is seen in the Baptist, African Methodist Episcopal and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denominations. The Baptists are the most numerous. These are the brethren who rejoice that they stand alone, thousands upon thousands, and wallow in ignorance and big collections unmolested by God for the devil. They are pious,宠婿 and boastful. They are narrow, thin skinned, reactionary and dogmatic. It is extremely difficult to get a Baptist into any church not of his denomination. He does not feel so antagonistic toward a Methodist but your deepened Baptist can see good in a freshlyarian, a Congregationalist in an Episcopalian. bishopalians are just a little higher than the heathen, according to Baptist thinking. I once knew a Baptist sister who was extremely indignant when told that the funeral of a neighbor was to be preached by an Episcopal rector. According to the Baptists there will be few 'Epistobals' in heaven. Although the Baptist is very rigid in his beliefs he knows almost nothing of their origin and foundations. He does not have options to learn much because of his refusal to go anywhere except to work and to his own church. He cannot acquire worthwhile information and culture from his own pastor because as a rule the Baptist preachers are the most ignorant in the community.

Of course a few of the Baptist preachers do not fall within this description. This is the very small intelligent minority who stand very low indeed in the estimation of the great majority. A Baptist preacher who stands for high intellectual standards is called 'crazy' by his fellow brothers of the cloth. An eminent divine of the type of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, of Howard University, would be a very small and insignificant potato in any gathering of Baptist longcoats. The intelligent ministers in this hallelujah denomination are really still small voice in the midst of their fellow whoopers. In concluding his article, only a few extracts of which are quoted here Mr. McKinny says: "More than church, political power, social prestige or the cultural equality of Alain Locke the Negro needs economic stability and strength. It is necessary that he cease to be a 100 per cent consumer and become a producer. It is all right for the whites, with their wealth, to play at building great cathedrals, but for the poor Negro to dot the land with architecturally atrocious but expensive churches, is tragic and disastrous. It is improbable that increased wealth will bring the Negro nearer to hell nor is it probable that poverty will get him in heaven. What is necessary is an intensifying of the two acquisitive instincts; more dollars and more intelligence. These two, of course, will not cure all of his ills, but they will do more to deliver him from national impotence than all the preachers now 'called' or scheming to be called sometime in the future." S.S. TEACHERS ENTERTAINED Miss Sallie Miner, superintendent of the Metropolitan Baptist Sunday School, entertained her teachers at her home, 1735 Eleventh street, northwest. The Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the church, was present and spoke for a few moments. Several co-workers from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing were also present. The teachers of the intermediate classes presented Miss Miner a beautiful pearl necklace as a token of their esteem. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Bullock preached a fine sermon last Sunday on the topics "Unload" and "Load Up." The services were attended by a large crowd. A large number came forward to join the church. The reining superintendent of the Sunday school was presented by the pastor with a box containing something valuable. John R. Parker will be the new superintendent for the year, 1929. Dr. Bullock congratulated Miss Campbell on her excellent work. Miss Campbell said as cx-superintendent she would do all she could to further the work of God's Kingdom. The church clerk, C. W. Lewis, presented the pastor with a fine overcoat. Dr. Bullock will preach both morning and night Sunday. Sunday morning prayer meeting, 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. Suday school will meet at 9:15 a.m. The I. C.

Taylor, of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church used as the subject of his sermon last Sunday morning, "Preparing for the day of reckoning." In his introduction the speaker said "Inasmuch as the approach of the close of the year disposes us to review our activities and judge by the results achieved as to whether we have succeeded or failed in the management of our secular affairs, according to the opportunities enjoyed; even so, should we at this time, scrutinize our spiritual activities and judge by results produced in order to understand as to whether or not we have succeeded to the end that we might profit in the future by the mistakes of the past and thus prepare ourselves for the day of reckoning." Dr. Just Banquet Guest Dr. Ernest E. Just was the guest on New Year's eve night of a group of his close friends' at a banquet given in the dining hall of the Wage Earners' Association. Many beautiful tributes were paid Dr. Just by the several speakers. Dr. E. Clayton Terry served as master of ceremonies. Others present included Dean Kelly Miller, Dean George Cook, Prof. Alaine Locke, Dr. B. Price Hurst, Dr. W. C. McCain, Dr. S. L. Carson, Dr. S. Le-Count Cook, Dr. Charles B. Fisher, Prof. Carter Woodson, Dr. Hartford Burwell, Dr. J. E. H. Taylor, and Dr. Lawrence Jackson. Elks Entertain Children One hundred and fifty children of the afflicted families of Elks were made happy on December 27, when they were the guests at dinner of the Health Unit of Columbia Temple, No. 422. The banquet, which included turkey and other good things to eat, was served in the dining room of Columbia Lodge home. Daughter Ruth Cumber is president of the Unit, and Daughter Isabelle Hurd was chairman of the program committee. GIFT SHOPPE MOVES Gertrude's Gift and Art Shoppe, pioneer enterprise of its kind among Negroes of Washington moved into its new quarters, at 918 U street, northwest, January first. The business, formerly occupying premises at 1988 Ninth street, northwest, is managed by Mrs. Gertrude Johnson. It was established on September 20, 1924, a small capital being responsible for an exceptionally small stock. The present status of the shop, however, is a most worthy example of the result of hard and energetic work on the part of the owner. Mrs. Johnson was a pioneer in the gift shop idea and her success led many others to follow her example. MISS JOHNSON HERE Mrs. Louis R. Mehlinger, No. 9 Iowa Circle, is having Miss Margaret Johnson, a cousin, of Detroit, Mich., as her guest during the holidays. The speaker *r* the Howard University religious services next Sunday morning, January 6, will be the Reverend Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of Washington Cathedral. For a number of years, Dr. Stokes was secretary of Yale University and contributed greatly to the expansion of that institution. He is president of the Phelps-Stokes Foundation for Negro education. Dr. Stokes is the author of several books and numtous monographs, and has served throughout New England and New York as University preacher. Forum Meets The first meeting of the University Forum in the new year will be held on Wednesday evening, January 9, at 6:45. Dr. William Carl Ruediger, dean of the School of Education of George Washington University, will lead in the discussion of the subject, "What are the Permanent Values of Education for the Individual?" Young School Teacher Buried Here Monday Funeral services for Mrs. Viola Robinson Burgess, well known teacher in the local public schools, were held from the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Monday afternoon, Rev. H. B. Taylor officiating. Mrs. Burgess died on Saturday night, following a brief illness, at her residence, 219 S street, northwest. At the time of her death she was a teacher at the Garrison Demonstration School, where since 1925 she had established an excellent reputation as a companion, teacher, and scholar. Her career in the school system began with her appointment to the Briggs School, in September of 1920, three months after her graduation from the Miner Normal School. A brief romance culminated in marriage six months ago to Albert A. Burgess, prominent local musician. A. Kiger Savoy, principal of the Garrison School, read a tribute on behalf of a host of teachers and companions with whom Mrs. Burgess had become acquainted during her years of teaching. She is survived by her husband, Albert-Burgess; her mother, Mrs. Blanche F. Ruffin; a sister, Miss Eleanor Robinson; and a brother, Bernard C. Ruffin. Interment was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Nine Taken in Raid A raid, conducted by police of the Fourth Precinct early last Sunday morning netted nine persons in the toils of the law. Those booked included John H. Alexander, the alleged proprietor of the establishment at 358 I street, southwest, which was raided; Meses Crawford, 102 G street, southwest; Elmer Chase, 313 McLean avenue, southwest; James Parker, 85 Fenton place, northwest; John Thomas, 42 L street, northwest; David Bolden, 1305 Wiley court, Shirley Fisher, 302 New York avenue; Ralph Williams, 497 Locust street; and Lincoln Johnson, 2100 D street, northwest. A collateral of $25 was forfeited by the alleged proprietor of the place. The others forfeited $5 each when they failed to report to face the charges in Police Court, Monday. PRECINCT HAS SLOWEST DAY IN TEN YEARS Whether police of Captain Fred Cornwall's command were taking on a spirit of "peace and goodwill to all mankind of the southwest section, whether they had taken in too much of the holiday spirits, or whether the folks of the neighborhood had not been fully revived from the state which their indulgence of Yuletide beverage had left them, has not as yet been ascertained, but at any rate there was not a single arrest made in the Fourth Precinct, on last Friday. The Station Day Book fails to show the entrance of a single name from 10:50 p.m., Thursday night, to 10:51 a.m., Saturday morning—thirty-six hours without the lock-up of an individual. According to desk officials it has been more than ten years since any such occasion has been recorded. Neither Sergeant Robert J. Carrol nor H. D. Crawford, desk man, could remember a similar day's work. The committee on social sessions of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, I.B.&P.O.E.W. will render a program at the memorial services of the pride of Montgomery Lodge, I.B.&P.O.E.W. of Rockville, Maryland, on next Sunday evening, January 6. A musical program by the East Washington male chorus will be one of the features of the evening. The public is invited. ARMOND W. SCOTT TO SPEAK Attorney Armond W. Scott, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, of the I.B.&P.O.E.W. will be the speaker at the social session of Columbia Lodge, No 85, on Sunday afternoon, at the Elks' home, 301 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, Sunday, January 6, at 4:30 p.m. The honorable Richard Yates, Congressman and ex-governor of Illinois will address the session on Sunday, January 27. The committee on social sessions is composed of F. P. Williams, C. A. Cornish, Frank Blagburn, Thomas Shipley, Martin R. Powell, Harry Parker, Flora Collier, Sarah Turner and James S. Chapman, chaplain. The Misses Harris and Johnson Entertain One of the most picturesque events of the social season made its appearance at 1828 Oregon avenue, northwest, Washington, D.C., when Albert J. Battles and William H. Burnett were honored with an elaborate formal dinner party given by Miss Margaret Harris and Edna P. Johnson. The table was laid for eight covers and decorated with poinsetta and chrysanthemums. The dinner was served in nine courses and silver service throughout. Everyone was seated according to place cards. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Porter, Miss A. A. Nichols, Miss Edna P. Johnson and Miss Margaret A. Harris; Mesars, William H. Burnett, A. J. Battles, Oswald Burke, Miss Nichols wore a gorgeous gown of gold and black metallic lace; Mrs. Vernon Porter wore a bourant gown of pale Orchid tulle with uneven hem-line; Miss Johnson wore a gorgeous gown of black and gold Parisienne satin of extreme vogue, adorned with a corsage of orange tea roses; Miss Harris wore a tight bodice gown of orchid satin with huneen hem-line of extreme length, adorned with a corsage of mignon rose-bud. The guests were entertained during dinner with musical selections rendered by William Minor. Late in the evening the guests departed to the Lincoln Colonnade ASBURY M. E.

In order for a colored song writ- er to get a song to the public it is necessary to give credit to one of the stait writers of publishing houses for either the words or the music, or both. For this reason he has refused to publish any. songs lately because he will not permit whites to exploit his creations, Mr, Brooks has not ceased to write ‘because of this fact how: ever, and has a collection of twen- ty or more songs that he is shap- ing into a Broadway production with the aid of Henry Troy, an oldtimer.

Mr, Brooks, who was a member of the original “Blackbirds,” and “Dixie to Broadway” companies, co-starring with the immortal Florence in her American and European successes was born in a little Canadian town near Windsor in the province of Ontario, where shows of any kind were rarely ever seen and an American min- strel was never heard of. Negroes themselves were by no means numerous, which adds the unusual note to the comedian’s development as a leading exponent of the black- face art. Only Saw Magic Lantern For the greater part of his adol- escent life the man who made the theatregoers of two continents laugh never saw any form of en- tertainment other than a magic Jantern show. As a boy Mr. Brooks ‘was the wit of his small commun- | ity, possesing at an carly age a voice of the courseness of a full- grown man, That voice with its heavy tonation has since been re- corded on phonograph dises and ‘heard all over the world.

Lowe, a Negro actor of rare ability. His selection for this part came only after a thorough canvas of many Negro actors. Right here, a brief history of this man who was chos- en to play the lead in one of the ‘greatest motion pictures ever made, is appropriate. James B. Lowe was born in Macon, Ga. Af- ter traveling extensively, he en- tered upon a theatrical» career, where he made a hit in the -title role of “Emperor Jones.” He’ then entered pictures and after a brief career catne his great reward—the part of “Uncle ‘Tom.” During the war he was one of but four col- ored Inspectors for the Quarter. master corps. He is six feet tall and of striking appearance. Adjectives fail when it comes to telling about “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” ‘The production will undoubtedly go down into screen history as the greatest production of all. time. ‘Two years in the making, it is per- fect in detail. Nothing is left out, from Eliza crossing the ice to the antics of Topsy. In order to better accommodate the thousands of people who will want to see “Uncle ‘Tom's Cabin? performances will start on week days at 12 o'clock noon, and on Sunday at 2:90 pam, The pleture will be shown positively only one week—from Saturday, January 5, to Friday, January 11, inclusive. ‘A wonderful synchronized Mov- ietone music score and the famous Dixie Jubilee Singers are heard throughout the picture.

HOWARD THEATRE SEVENTH STREET at T, NORTHWEST The Girls from "Rang Tang" AND MANY OTHER ARTISTS - also - PUTNEY DANDRIDGE — CHARLES RAY GALLI DE GASTON AND THE FAMOUS HOWARDETTES WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OPPORTUNITY NIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT, GIFT NIGHT POLITICAL WAR ON IN CHICAGO Fight for Power on Between Thompson and Deeneen Forces CHICAGO — Republican factions on the South side are beginning to marshal their forces for the coming alderman election to be heil din February. The indications are that there will be a desperate struggle between the forces of Mayor William Hale 'Big Bill' Thompson and Senator Charles S. Deenen. Anderson and Jackson Targets It is probable that Louis B. Anderson, second ward alderman, will retain his seat in the city council, there being little or no opposition to him. He is Mayor Thompson's floor leader and chairman of the finance committee of the council. He is regarded as one of the ablest aldermen in the city of Chicago. The Deenen Republicans will aim to capture the third ward. They will direct their fight against Major Robert R. Jackson, alderman for that ward. Under the leadership of Warren R. Douglas, former member of the Illinois State Legis. lature, the Deenen group is expected to choose Nathan S. Taylor, assistant United States attorney, to oppose Jackson for re-election. JANITOR LOSES FIRST CASE IN COURT Because he was believed to have been "drunk with authority," Gentry Harrison, janitor and self-styled assistant manager of the apartment house 3700 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, failed in his first case as a prosecuting witness, Wednesday. Gentry was the principal government witness in a charge involving assault and disorderly conduct with Leroy Johnson, an employee of the Frank R Jelleff Co., as the defendant. According to the testimony, Gentry, declaring on the witness stand that he is the manager of the house in the absence of that individual, placed Johnson, a jumper on a Jelleff delivery wagon, under arrest when the latter insisted on entering the apartment house by way of an entrance other than the one set aside for tradesmen. The complainant asserted that the boy assaulted him when he attempted to stop him. The jumper, however, declared that the man had attacked him first. Judge Ralph Given dismissed the charges when it was learned that no signs designating which entrance should be used were in a position to be observed, and that eyewitnesses were unwilling to testify as to who was the first to strike. "There's one born every minute," sighed Judge Ralph Given as testimony to establish the government's case against Frank Williams, alleged confidence man, was concluded in Police Court. Wednesday morning of last week. The court, reviewing the testimony of Mrs. Lena Gardner, a rooming-house proprietor, one of the complaining witnesses, acknowledged a sympathy for her for having been filimflammed out of $25 by means of bogus checks. His statement was prompted when counsel for the defendant asked if the court thought it reasonable that a woman would lend a man, heretofere unknown, twenty-five dollars in return for $1,200 in checks which he offered her for her favor to him. Larcency Charge Williams was also charged with the larceny of a new and unused suit of clothes from William Adams, another lodging-house proprietor. Adams asserted that Williams applied for a room at his place, and after having stayed there over night, disappeared with garments which he had purchased only the day previous. Upon the advice of his counsel, Williams refused to testify. This decision, according to Judge Given probably saved the defendant from being given a more severe sentence. He was committed to jail for one year. Letter Tips Cop Off, He Finds 96 Quarts A "tip" coming to him through the mail prompted Detective James Gravely, white, of the Third Precinct to visit the apartment of James Wilson, 2115 F street, northwest, where, Monday, the officer found 96 quarts of alleged intoxicating liquor. Wilson and Althia Jackson, occupants of the premises were taken into custody and held pending disposition of their case by Commission Needham C. Turnage. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Henry Jones spent his fifth consecutive Christmas working on the county roads as a prisoner. It was just before Christmas five years ago that Jones became acquainted with Judge H. B. Aberneth. He was arrested on a charge of larceny and sentenced to a term that covered the Christmas holidays. For the next three years Jones was arrested for larceny just before Christmas. JUDGE COBB IN CHICAGO Judge James A. Cobb, vice dean of the Howard University law school, attended the meeting of the Association of Law Schools in Chicago. Ill. last week. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 4. 1929 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC RENOUNCES WAR The Dominican Republic has adhered to the treaty for the renunciation of war, according to an announcement by the State Department last Friday. Senor Angel Morales, the Dominican minister, according to the State Department, deposited on December 12, in the department on behalf of his government the adherence of the Dominican Republic to the general pact for the renunciation of war. Lunchroom Worker Gets Time for Larceny of $5 A fine of $15 was placed on Douglas Walker, an employee of a lunchroom at 519 Ninth street, northwest, for the larceny of $5 from a fellow worker, by Judge Ralph Given, in Police Court, Monday. Walker was arrested on complaint of Thomas Reavis, a busman at the same place where the former works as a porter. According to Reavis, Walker was present in the locker when he removed the money from his pockets and put it on a table along with a package of cigarettes. Reavis then, according to his statement, left the room. When he returned the money was gone. Walker denied having taken the money, declaring that when Reavis reported for work he was drunk, and thereafter went to sleep. He slept for two hours, he said, and then awoke demanding that someone return his money. When police arrived, however, Walker found the money under a vase on the table where Reavis had placed it. It was this ability to so easily locate the money which convinced Judge Given of Walker's guilt. FINED FIFTY DOLLARS Mabel Butler, 3126 Prospect avenue, northwest, was fined $50 for operating a discourdy house by Judge Ralph Given, in Police Court, Monday. In default of payment of the fine, Mrs. Butler was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Officers of the Seventh Precinct testified that they entered the house on Saturday night, upon complaint of neighbors, and found eight persons assembled there with a quantity of alleged liquor on a table in front of them. MRS, MOLSON APPOINTED APARTMENT MANAGER Mrs. Rosella Gilbert Molson, graduate of Miner Normal School and a student at Howard University, has been appointed resident manager of the Howard Manor, a large apartment building recently erected at the corner of Fairmont street and Georgia avenue, northwest. The management of the building, which contains seventy-six apartments and six stores, will be under Mrs. Molson's charge. Telephone North 3000 MONDAY, TUESDAY, WED.

SEVEN White Band Leader Gets In Bad In Paris Resent Action of American Jazz Leader in Forcing Him Off Program from the World's Bureau According to a special cable to The World, race prejudice bobs up is Europe every little while. The cable stated: PARIS, Dec. 24—Jack Hylton, American jazz conductor, has got himself into trouble with the French Association for Protection of the Black Race. In a Brussels theatre, where he was appearing the other evening, he met a Negro artist, Nabib Benglia, back stage and, learning that the latter was to appear on the same program with himself, informed the manager: "Then I will not be in the show." The manager invented some pretext for requesting Benglia to postpone his appearance, but the incident created considerable notice. As a result, the association for the Protection of the Black Race has decided to take the matter up in co-operation with the Union of French Artists.

ROME, Miss, Dec. 31 (A.P.).—Charley Shepherd, Negro alleged murderer and abductor, was burned on a funeral pyre here tonight, after mutilating his body and firing several shots into it, the mob of over a hundred men placed the Negro on a pile of logs, threw gasoline wires and set it afire. "Mississippi ends the year as she began it, by lynching a disfranded citizen." The above paragraph appearing on New Year's morning at the head of the article, which told of the burning of Shepherd, is indeed a bad comment on our boasted intelligence and Christianity. And remember this is the action of 2,500 people of the boasted "superior race." Race relations was struck a solar plexus blow Monday night when 2,500 white Christians celebrated the passing of the old year with a human bonfire near Rome, Mississippi. And they expect Negroes to have confidence in their Christian spirit, and sincerity in a true desire for race relations. That was an inspiring scene around which to gather and form new resolutions for the incoming year. It was a characteristic entertainment of the Christians of Mississippi. Could wild beasts do any more to a human? This paragraph says they "mutilated his body," they fired "several shots into it," and not being satisfied with that, these friends and electors of Pat Harrison and Bilbo, built a bonfire of logs, saturated with gasoline and placed this poor defenseless human being on it and lighted the torch and then danced around it in Christian glee and exultation by way of celebrating the passing of 1928. When asked if he would make an investigation of this crime of crimes, Gov. Bilbo of the wonderful commonwealth of Mississippi, whose "states' rights" must not be questioned, said, "I have neither the time, inclination nor the money to investigate 2000 people." The fact remains that he could spend the tax-payers' money to call out 400 national guardsmen to hunt for a Negro, but he could not command those same men, already on duty, to protect the Negro after he was caught. We are not condoning crime, nor or we upholding Shepherd, if he committed the crimes, he is reported to have committed. The state of Mississippi has good and sufficient machinery in her courts to try and convict every man committing a crime in her borders. And the Governor and other officials connected with this affair should have seen to it that the State's laws were enforced and the good name (?) of Mississippi upheld and the reputation of these United States be maintained as the greatest civilized and Christianized nation in the world. But, we know of so many cases where Negroes have been lied upon, and of white men using burnt cork on their faces to appear as Negroes to commit crimes, for which innocent Negroes have suffered and are suffering now, that we question every report of a serious crime supposedly committed by a Negro. Ben Bess of South Carolina spent 14 years in that State's penitentiary because of the lie of a white woman who confessed to lying. In Arkansas a supposedly Negro was caught shortly after attacking a white woman but when they put the rope around his neck to lynch him, it was found that he was a white man, with burnt cork on his face and he was turned loose. In St. Louis several crimes have been committed by blackened faced white men in the past three years. And too, we are not told why Shepherd killed this Duvall. It is probable that his daughter was familiar with Shepherd and Duvall surprised them and attacked Shepherd, who killed him in self-defense and the girl raised the cry of attack to save her reputation. White women have Negro sweethearts all over the South; but when they are caught up with, the women always raise the cry of assault to clear their own skirts and sometimes it is a fabricated lie as in the case in South Carolina and Coffeyville, Kansas, three years ago. Therefore, we do not uphold crime but question every reported assault case because we know existing conditions. LET'S KEEP OUR RESOLUTIONS "Be courageous if you would be true."

More vows are broken from lack of courage the attribute of character. Therefore, be courageous if you vows and be true to thyself. We can make remarkable progress in 1929 by religious resolutions. For that has never been done. Some resolutions we should make and keep.

If we can keep them a day why of it? If a week then why not stretch it into a more who can go one whole big month, double our efforts. Then we will be ready for 1930 with a creditable "Truth and courage go together." African proverb. The above proverb is from "African Myths" and is an appropriate one to follow each resolution made New Year's eve. To keep our resolutions we must be true. To be true commands courage. They are inseparable. More vows are broken from lack of courage than any other one attribute of character. Therefore, be courageous if you would keep your vows and be true to thyself. We can make remarkable progress in 1929 by religiously keeping our resolutions. For that has never been done. Some resolutions we should make and keep. Those that will redound to our progress, prosperity and accomplishments are: We resolve to place our business establishments on efficient basis and expect trade because of merit and service and not patronage because we are of the same race group. We resolve not to denounce segregation in any phase of our life as long as we promote segregation by our patronage of those outstanding in their segregation. We segregate ourselves about as often as we are segregated. Why were so many drug stores closed here in Washington the past three years? Why is it we do not have clothing and shoe stores? Why are our banks not bulging with our deposits and the lobbies not crowded with patrons? Be courageous and keep our resolutions and carry our banks beyond the million mark in resources in 1929. We resolve to branch out into other lines of business, save the material segregated lines, like barber shops, restaurants, theatres and insurance. Get into competitive lines where business acumen will count. We wear shoes, clothes, use furniture and purchase many and varied notions and dry goods; where are our establishments? We resolve to eliminate "color lines" within our race and will not denounce a white man for his attitude toward color, so long as we emphasize and maintain such nonsense. We resolve to unite and co-operate our small and incompetent churches, thereby eliminating dead weight and wasted expense in trying to maintain an overchurched community. We resolve to dissolve our various petty cliques and factions and really practice race solidarity and co-operation in the civic, moral, emotional and economic welfare of our city. That means we are to be courageous and true by burning up our suspicions and superstitions and selflessness so that we may be guided and governed by the desire to be of service to others, promoting a big, broad program of progress so that 1929 may be written high in the realm of advancement in big cities. We should stop doing the things that holds us back and start doing everything, anything that would make for advancement. May we make a big and brave effort to keep our resolutions. Try and see how long we can keep them. If we can keep them a day why not make a few of it? If a week then why not stretch it into a month and those of who can go one whole big month, double our efforts and make it two. Then we will be ready for 1930 with a creditable record.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL If ever I should quit the newspaper game, which by the way is the ultimate course of those who finally place the desire to acquire riches ahead of their sheer love for loafing, I shall in all probability open a shoe shine establishment. Never before in the history of American industry has the profession of putting a gloss on boots been so highly respectable and quite so lucrative as in these days of alleged prohibition. Every store front in the northwest section is being converted into shoe shining emporiums and it takes but a look at the sleek, well dressed and to all appearances apparently independent proprietors to convince one that shining shoes, no—I mean running a shoe shining establishment is nothing to be looked down upon. The Anti-saloon league by winning its ardent fight to have the saloon wiped from the corners of our fair city has done much to lift the lowly shoe shine industry to the place of respectability it now holds. Thanks to these noble pioneers, the saloon is no longer on the erer but is now located in the middle of the block. Instead of the long brass rail where men used to rest their feet while imbibing of a skutte of suds shoved at them across a glass counter by a portly beaconp顿 bartender with a black mustache and a bass voice, thirsty gentlemen now plant their hoofs on two brass forms and while a sawed-off youth of questionable mental capacity raps a tattoo on his shoes with a rag and a brush a squint eyed individual slips a bottle of shoe polish in his pocket and proceeds about his business of doing nothing in particular. A problem that would baffle the most accomplished of mathematicians is how so many young men can be supported solely by the imacting in a purely official establishment when most of them seem to be usual labor attached. Many shoe shine stands in Northwest Washington seem to have a board of directors of about six and the preponderance seems to have a board of directors of about six and the preponderance of business problems that is confronted by these gentlemen is exemplified by the fact that they are constantly in conference in a little rear room. No boot black stand is complete without its rear room. No member of the board leaves the board room without smacking his lips and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. What is the secret of this sudden blossoming fourth of the once despised vocation of boot dusting? Why is it that prominent persons in all walks of life consider it an honor to be addressed by their first names by the owner of a string of bootblack stands as he passes them on the street in his sedan. Why is it that policemen frequent these establishments on cold winter nights, and leave muchly refreshed by their association? What does this shoe polish contain that is being used in these establishments that makes those who get their shoes shined stagger upon leaving the place? Why is it that men who get their shoes shined want to pick a fight the moment they hit the street? Truly, I must confess, that the bootblack industry in its rapid rise to fame and fortune holds many baffling questions that I must solve before casting my lot in the newly found road to riches. Any person knowing the answers to the queries just raised please send them to KIDDIES' KORNER C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

A NEW YEAR Let us face it with the determination of a strongly determined person to battle for the right, and, also to excel those things we've accomplished in the past. Let us not resolve, but live up to the dictates of our better natures. Let us realize that God made each of us for some particular thing—some good to the world by having passed through it. Let us smile often and very often. Let us share, with those who need, that which God so graciously lends to us. Let us refrain from things not decent or honorable. Respect the rights of others. Pledge ourselves to sincerity in all we do and let us ever pay homage to our God, our country, and our race. I am yours wishing for that great success to be yours which is the reward of those who strive diligently and patiently. C. Leslie Frazier VERNA DOZIER WINS ESSAY CONTEST The essay that won five dollars, the first prize in the Emancipation Proclamation Contest conducted by the Emancipation Association of the District of Columbia was written by Verna Dozier, 10 years old, of 318 Florida avenue, northwest. The subject of her essay was: The Negro and the Israelites "When you compare the situation of the Negro with that of the past Israelite you have a perfect reason for saying history repeats itself. "The Negroes were taken from their peaceful homes and brought to America to be ill-treated and ruled by oher human beings who were no greater than ourselves. "Centuries before that the Israelites, or Christian Jews, were captured and made slaves under the rule of Pharaoh in Egypt. After being in slavery for a long period of years God forced Pharaoh A new year faces us to free his people by sending upon him a great plaque. "Likewise about 1865 we were freed after the great Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Some slaves were freed during the war and the rest were freed later by President Abraham Lincoln. "Even after our freedom we are still persecuted. We cannot go into all business places such as lunch rooms, hotels and movie places such as the other race can, but despite these persecutions we have progressed greatly. We are land owners, business men, lawyers, teachers, and doctors. And now, O God, may the great faith that has kept us going be with us still." A STRANGE NEW YEAR I cannot tell what you will bring to me, O strange New Year; Though thick darkness shrouds the days and months I will not fear: Why should I fret my heart to know before What may befall? With this one though contented, I ask no more— God knows it all. 721 Girard St., N.W. ONCE UPON A TIME James and Mary sat near their uncle's knees, both tired after playing with the toys that Santa had brought them the night before. "Tell us a story, Uncle,—a funny one!" they both exclaimed. Uncle Les leaned back and said, "All right, here goes." "All good stories seem to start with 'once upon a time.' Well, once upon a time a little red fox lived in the heart of a forest. This particular forest was right across the road from a dense woods. "You didn't know there was any difference between a woods and a forest, did you? Neither did I until a little pink dwarf told me so one day. "Well, in this forest there lived a great big uggly-uggy-ong-yong. "Have you ever seen an uggly-uggy-ong-yong? No? Well, an uggly-uggy-ong-yong is smaller than a buzzo, larger than - rilek-oo. slenderer than a quilquam, stouter than a booooozer, swiffer than a ding dang, cutter than a wee, as gentle as an ada-mon-ill, and wilder than a zute. "Now that you understand exactly what an uggly-uggy-ong-yong is I'll go on with my story. "One day the little red fox was in the middle of the road playing a beautiful sad piece on his fiddle. If there is anything an uggly-uggy-ong-yong dislikes it is fiddle music. "It happened that this uggly- Goode Tailoring Co. Cleaners and Dyers TALK—DON'T WALK. Call NORTH 913 Valet Service We Call For and Deliver BEST WORK FURS REMODELED and RELINED 251 FLORIDA AVENUE, N.W. uggly-ong-yong had that very day, that very evening, that very hour, stuck three thorns in each one of his ten paws. You can imagine just how peevishly peevish he was. But the little red fox didn't know a thing about that. He played and he played and he played. The ugly-uggle-ong-yong swayed and he swayed until he could sway no longer and he gave a yell so loud until all the radiophones in the world were put out of working order for fifteen hours. "The little red fox dropped his fiddle and started to run. He was so frightened he ran clear around the earth and in six minutes, eighteen seconds, and three moments he was right back where he started from. "Now, this particular fox happened to be the king fox of all the red foxes in the world and in the air and under the water, too, if any red foxes lived in those two places. "This fox's name was Remblouzodo. He had another name but all the animals called him Remblouzodo because his other name was so long and queer. He was not only a king but a nec-ro-man-cer. He could do magic—make things come out of the empty air, make cabbage grow on rose bushes, make chestnuts grow on artificial legs, and such things as those. "No, I'm not getting away from my story. It all simply amounts to this. "Remblouzodo had worked some magic and made all the red foxes in the world change colors every ten minutes. But alas and alack he was so scared when the angry uglyly-ugly-yong-frigened him he forgot his magic. Hence, every fox was left the color he happened to be when Remblouzodo made his radio-like trip around the world.

FORUM OUR NEW BUILDINGS 72 Q Street, northwest, The Editor: Sir:—I think that the progressive trend of our race which has developed such impetus since the war is most cogently manifested in the building program that the Negro churches and lodges in this city have put through recently. I have particular reference to the new Masonic Temple and the Lincoln Congregational Church. Those responsible for this magnificent work should be commended for the credit they have done our people as a race; for they have done more than raise their respective lodges and churches in the public estimation—they have achieved an ideal, a majestic ideal, which not only reflects most favorably on them, but makes it plainly obvious to the other race what our race as a whole is capable of. Their achievement transcends the narrow confines of the lodges and church; our whole race is seen in a new light. We may talk ever so much; our people may hold this meeting, and that confeence at this place and that; our eloquent boasts may soar to the skies—I say, we may talk ever so much; our brilliant intellectuals may proclaim to the white world what we can do, but the white people are skeptical; they are not impressed by these flares of oratory that emanate from our conventions and conferences, they are impressed by the concrete. These edifices are such. They are the most tangible manifestation of our new progressive philosophy. Words are somewhat intangible however great the mind of the speaker; conventions are not unimpressive but they are soon forgotten. These two buildings will stand; they will always be a credit to us, a credit to undeniable as Truth. Congratulations to all concerned. Charles L.
