HOWARD STUDENTS DEMAND SCALP OF FLUNKING PROF LOVE NEST OR NO LOVE NEST? Question Baffles Judge CAPITAL EDITION HOWARD FOR COUPLE IN FIGHT TO SAVE HOME COUPLE IN FIGHT TO SAVE HOME Petition to Court Says Owners Knew Nothing of Deed Conveying Property to Another Charging that their names had been forged to a deed of trust to secure prompt payment on a promissory note for $1,250 and that they were ignorant of the same, Memphis and Elizabeth Johnson, petitioned the court to restrain the realty firm of Dr. Henry, Inc., from trying to collect this amount. The suit, filed through the offices of Peter B. Richardson, states that the plaintiffs are owners of the property located at 1608 Eight streets, northwest, which a deed in the recorder's office here will attest. They have owned and occupied this property since August 26, 1918. Names Forged They have been recently molested by the defenders, they declare, for payment of money on the promissory note or submit to a foreclosure on the deed of trust of which they knew nothing until a few months ago. To their belief and knowledge they declare their property is free of all incumbers and the deed of trust which conveys the property to A. C. Keene and H. Miller, white, was forged by parties unknown to them. Demand Cancellation The petition requests that the court order Dr. Henry Inc, A. C. Keene, H. Miller, and construction engineers to appear in court and all issue an order restraining the parties named for enforcing the deed of trust and a cancellation of the same. LOVE NEST OF QU When is a love nest not a love nest? That is the question that baffled the judge in the Municipal Police Court Monday morning when Mrs. Mattie Henderson and Richard H. Plummer were arraigned on charges filed by the husband of the woman after he had the janitor's quarters of an apartment house at 23 Second street raided Sunday night. According to George Henderson, the husband, he and his wife have been separated for two years and recently after keeping a vigilance around the apartment house for several weeks he discovered his wife going and coming day and night. Threatened His Life He approacher her on the street one morning, he declared, demanding an explanation. She is alleged to have told him that she was living with Plummer, was contented and if he messed around she would blow his brains out. Plummer is also alleged to have threatened him when he went to the home to investigate. He then secured a warrant for their arrest on statuary charges. Shows Receipts In their own behalf the accused couple, declared that they were guilty of no wrong and that Mrs. Henderson merely rented a room at the apartment in full knowledge of Plummer's wife, who is now in Virginia. She offered in evidence receipts for rent for each month she has resided in the house. Although police testified that they found Plummer in his pajamas and Mrs. Henderson in bed at the time when they called Judge Gus A. Schuldt was doubtful of their guilt and dismissed the case. Washington Tribune MATT. TAYLOR'S WIVES WAR COURT ORDER TO END NEIGHBORH'D FEUD OF 2 YEARS 700 Block of Girard Street Has Been Storm Center, Mrs. Baker Must Vacate The neighborhood feud which has been happening often for the past two years in the 700 block of Girard street, one of the fashionable sections of northwest Washington will probably be ended following an order of the court that Mrs. Loretta Baker, of 730 Girard street, move to another section. Mrs. Baker, who has been a bone of contention in the section because of her inability to get along with any of her neighbors, told the judge in police court Monday that her neighbors were jealous of her because she and her family were of a lighter complexion than the rest. Third Time in Court Mrs. Baker, who was arrested on a warrant, secured by Mrs. Oscar L. Brown, of 734 Girard street, was accused of threatening the latter and her daughter with a revolver. This, according to police records, is the third time that the whole neighborhood has been involved in a dispute in which Mrs. Baker seemed to be the chief perpertrator. The last occurrence was about two months ago when she ordered the arrest of Dr. Earl Alphenso Parker, when he reprimanded one of her children who annoyed him. Mr. and Mrs. James L. Johnson, (Continued on page 2) TENANT SHOOTS OWNER, SENT TO GRAND JURY In spite of a determined effort on the part of defense counsel, Michael A. Lane (white) to establish that William M. Smith, 41 years old, of 5700 East Capitol street, northeast, was in possession of, and had threatened to use, a dangerous weapon, his client, Daniel Lambert was held for the action of the grand jury, by a coroner's jury, Wednesday. The occasion was an inquest into the death of Smith, who died, Tuesday week at Freedmen's Hospital as the result of a gunshot wound he received during an alteration with Lambert, on December 5. According to the testimony of Lambert and his wife, Mrs. Edith Lambert, Smith was the owner of the house which they, at that time, occupied at 5718 Blaine street, northeast. He objected to the kind of coal they used for heating the house. According to them, Smith, on several occasions, demanded that they discontinue the use of that certain type of fuel or move from the premises. They declared that they would leave but that it would not be possible for them to do so before the first of January. On the night of December 5, according to the story of Mr. and Mrs. Lambert, Smith called and again began his abuse of them. Argument and Threat An argument ensued, during which, Smith, the defendant and (Continued on page 2) 'Tain't So DuBois, editor of the Crisis, official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who embitteredly denies this week a release of the Capital News Service which quoted him as insulting the Negro press in a speech here PETER H. Committee to Headup Work Among Race Group Selected Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, has been designated by the Campaign Committee as one of the vice-chairmen of the Community Chest Campaign, which will be held from January 28 to February 6, 1929. Dean Miller has drawn around him a very strong group, of helpful workers who have pledged their support including the committee of management of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., the committee of management of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., and a group of journalists who are serving as members of the publicity committee. These include Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University; Robert J. Nelson, Edward H. Lawson, E. W. Finney, William O. Walker, Charles M. Thomas, Colonel West A. Hamilton, and Eugene L. C. Davidson. The names of other co-operating citizens will be announced later. The Community Chest operates without distinction as to race, creed, or color. While Jews, Catholics and Negroes have usually conducted charitable work along group lines, the Community Chest integrates them all into one comprehensive program of community service. Fifty-seven agencies have been included in the Community Chest. These include all agencies and efforts which are eligible under the standard approved by the accrediting body and which made application as they were requested to do, with absolute impartiality. Some of these agencies function for Jews only, some for Catholics only, some for colored people only, and others for gentiles only. But the majority of them serve all of the needy of the community without regard to such lines of division. While there are only two distinctive agencies, the Y.M.C.A., and the Y.W.C.A., which are restricted to colored people, nevertheless more than fifty per cent of the others serve colored as well as white people. For example, more than half of the budget of $80,000 of the Associated Charities is spent on the colored poor and needy. LOCAL NEWSPAPER SUSPENDS PUBLICATION The Washington Sun, Washington's youngest newspaper, suspended publication with last week's issue, and will not be seen on the newsstands this week, according to announcement. Efforts of the Tribute to obtain a statement from Dr. Alonzo Dow Turner, former Howard University professor, who edited the journal, were unsuccessful up to a late hour last night. A merger with the Washington Eagle was also unconfirmed. Where is 'Dizzy' Vance? Where in the world is J. Marcus E. (Dizzy) Vance? Anybody know? Mr. Vance, you remember, is the erstwhile promoter of things worthwhile, including interfaternity basketball games. His last venture was the Kappa Alpha Psi-Omega Psi Phi basketball game two weeks ago, when he disappeared with more than $400 gate receipts in his pocket, absent-mindedly forgetting to pay off certain officials and others who expected to be compensated for their services. These gentlemen, all honorable men, are deeply concerned about the welfare of the dashing (no pun intended) promoter. They fear with only $400 in his pocket he may have fallen on evil times. They want him back. But not so, gentle reader, not so. Each breeze that is wafted from the seaside brings glad tidings of greet joy saying that the self-absented Mr. Vance is enjoying the best of health and a reasonable amount of happiness on the boardwalks of Atlantic City. Whew! How the ocean winds must whistle and whir in that watering town. We do hope he used reasonable precaution and has on his winter undies, but why worry about that, it is only a rumor. For all we know he may be in Miami, Florida, or Macon, Georgia. 143 FLUNKED STUDENTS IN WAR MOOD Classes to Petition Dean to Fire Tyrannical Chemistry Professor, Rumor More than 100 students may withdraw from Howard University next week. The resignation of a professor in the school of Liberal Arts may be demanded by the student body. Reorganization of certain classes under new instructors is anticipated. All the elements of a regal romance in which the throne of the king is involved are to be found in the trouble brewing among the students of Howard University who propose to demand the resignation of Professor Percy Julian, who occupies the chemistry chair of the university. A storm of protest came down upon the scientific head of the allegedly tyrannical instructor when he ruthlessly flunked 101 students out of a class of 145, and punched 42 in another class of 60, in the final examinations. Has Harvard Complex Working on the assumption that seven score students cannot be wrong and such unpopularity must be deserved, the students are up in arms and will demand the scalp of the "flunking" Professor. According to students, who are drawing up a petition of grievances to be presented to Dean Dudley Woodward, of the College of Liberal Arts, the professor suffers with a "Harvard Complex," and presents his course over the heads of the students. They shall either demand the reorganization of another class in chemistry under a new instructor, to give them an opportunity to repeat or else demand the unqualified resignation of Prof. Julian. The student council has also been asked to take a hand to aid the students. What course this body will take in the matter has not yet been divulged. Barred from Medical School Because of the system of rating for eligibility in the Medical School all of the 143 students who failed will be automatically barred from entrance in this institution.

(Continued on Page 5) PRICE, FIVE CENTS RUMOR SAYS WIVES PLAN LEGAL TILT RUMOR SAYS WIVES PLAN LEGAL TILT $5,000 Involved in Theatre Manager's Death; to Test Legality of Second Union A stiff legal battle over the estate of Matthew M. Taylor, late manager of the Metropolitan Theatre, Chicago, who was slain by a bandit in an attempted holdup, is germinating here, according to rumors this week. Mrs. Taylor No. 2, who was before her marriage two months ago in Chicago, Miss Evelyn Rhodes, of this city, is said to have returned to Chicago immediately following the funeral services to claim her late husband's property. Mrs. Taylor, No. 1, who has maintained her residence here since the separation, is said to have retained John H. Wilson, prominent local attorney, to protect the interests of herself and her minor child. $5,000 Involved More than $5,000 is said to be involved in the fight between the mother and child on one side, and the wife on the other. Besides Taylor's own personal insurance and property holdings an additional sum of $5,000 is said to be payable to his survivors by virtue of NEAR RIOT WHEN MEN ARE OUSTED FROM CABARET A near riot broke out Sunday in front of the Silver Slipper Cabaret when six young men, decidedly under the influence of intoxicants, decided that they were not in favor of being put out of the establishment by special officers and attempted to wreck the place. Quite a melee ensued during which the ousted gentlemen tore the boards from a tree box and tried to force their way in. George Staley, a special officer at the cabaret, was much the worse for wear when he tried to stand off the determined young men single-handed. Several fist cuffs raised knots on his head and he displayed the teeth prints of one of the men on his hand when he took the stand at the Municipal Court, Monday morning, as prosecuting witness against Booker Tee Davis, 39 Massachusetts avenue, the only member of the raiding party captured by the police when they arrived in answer to a riot call. That Booker Tee embodied some of the noble traits of his namesake was revealed when he refused most emphatically to divulge the names of his companions and accepted a fine of $25 without a murmer.

"No Pie in the Sky for Christians, Find Happiness Here'', Urges Scientist TWG EXISTENCE OF GOD DOUBTED BY SPEAKER Revolutionary Addres Startles Country, Clergymen Denounce Speech Speech NEW YORK (CNS).—Modern science demands that mankind shall revise religions, seek happiness on earth and give up the idea of pie in the sky when we die. Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes told the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Columbia University last Saturday. Speaking on "Science versus Religion as a Guide to Life," Dr. Barnes, who is professor of historical sociology at Smith College, boldly declared that "we must cease talking of God" in the Biblical sense and "as the foundation of the new order we must supplant theology by mental hygiene." Heaven and Hell Abolished Heaven and Hell Abolished “Science,” he said, “has found our earth to be only a petty planet in one corner of the unknown void, and space is too crowded with stars and universes to make room for heaven above and hell below. “This earth,” he said, “can no longer be viewed as a temporary training camp, preparatory for life in the New Jerusalem. Rather it can be rationally regarded at present as possible during his temporary existence here upon earth.” We must defend “the right to be happy,” he maintained, and the old “taboo” against being happy on earth must go. Must Forget Sins Modern science has dealt a deathblow to the theology, avowed Dr. Barnes, and now necessitates a complete recasting of rooted ideas in every phase of life. Not only must we relinquish the God of the Old and New Testaments but we must abandon the idea of sin "Christian solemnity" must give way to "the frank joy of life" and the Ten Commandments must be examined anew just as critically as we would examine the cosmogony of Genesis or the medical views of Leviticus." Scriptures Out of Date "We must take our information in this field not from ancient sacred books but from the best positive knowledge which has thus far been gathered about the nature of man and the processes of his social conditioning," he continued, "Conventional theology possesses no whit whatever of valid information concerning the actual nature of man and his requirements to insure a happy life in human society. Indeed, the older theology had no legitimate reason for being interested in this issue. Down With Taboos "Not only must the objectives of human life be reduced to a secular plane, but we may now definitely enunciate and defend "the right to be happy." The old theological taboo upon secular felicity in a terrestrial setting was based upon supernatural considerations which we may now discard with safety and assurance. Doubts God "Sin," he continued, "is by definition a violation of the explicity revealed will of God. Modern science has shown it to be difficult to prove the very existence of God, and even more of a problem to show any direct solicitude of God for our petty and ephemeral planet. Biblical criticism, the history of religions and cultural history have revealed the fact that we can in no direct and literal sense look upon the Bible or any other existing holy book as embodying the revealed will of God." Clergymn of both races are loud in their denunciation of the speech of Prof. Barnes and he has been attacked from pulpits all over the country. MORE TENANT SHOOTS OWNER (Continued from page 1) his wife stated, reached for his pocket with a threat to kill Lambert. The latte ran from the room and up the stairs, where he armed himself with a .22 calibre rifle. When he again started down the steps, Lambert declared, Smith with his hand in his pocket began to ascend. Lambert fired, the bullet entering the right side of Smith's chest in a downward direction, and continuing in its course until it severed the spiral column. Miss Hattie Smith, sister of the dead man, whom Mr. and Mrs. Lambert in their testimony declared had taken something from the pocket of her brother as he lay on the floor directly after the shooting and hurriedly shoved it into her handbag, was called to the stand. When questioned in regard to the article which she took from Smith's pocket by Attorney Lane, the woman readily admitted that she had removed something from her brother's person, but denied that it was a weapon of any kind. She declared that she had taken money, to the amount of 70, a diamond ring and a diamond pick-pin. Smith, who was a restaurant proprietor with business located at 301 H street, southwest, was said by police to be a well known character. Shelton McKee (white) policeman at the Eleventh Precinct, who arrested Lambert, said that Smith was known to have been a trouble-maker in the precinct. STUDENTS WAR ON FLUNKING PROF. (Continued from page 1) upon completion of this course. Chemistry 125, as the course is designated, is one of the chief factors in determining eligibility to the Medical School, as it is one of the major requirements, and excellency in this subject determines the standing on the waiting list. The professor about whom the storm centers, is at present confined to his bed, where he has been since the markings were made public. Members of the class have been unable to interview him, it is said. Students May Withdraw Students may withdraw. If Dean Woodward can find no remedy about 100 students are expected to withdraw from the institution for the remainder of the term, as the course cannot be repeated under present rulings until next year. This will mean that the first half year has been wasted. Professor Julian holds a masters degree from Harvard University, and has been an instructor at Howard for the past three years. The students have great respect for his knowledge of the subject, but declare that he is unable to convey the matter properly. NEIGHBORHOOD FEUD BROKEN UP (Continued from page 1) 732 Girard street, declared that they too had been involved in difficulties with Mrs. Baker. Ordered to Vacate Judge Gus A. Schuldt declared that he felt Mrs. Baker was the instigator of much of the trouble in the neighborhood and ordered her husband, Henry Baker, to vacate the property during the next six weeks. Baker declared that although he had been buying his home he had decided that it was best to move elsewhere and had been attempting to get located for the past two months. Cause Comment Mrs. Baker appeared in court dressed in an expensive fur coat, a black velvet hat, a dress of light brown with stockings and shoes to match. Mrs. Brown wore a black outfit including a plush top coat. Her hat was of silver. Both women were imposing figures at the witness stand and caused comment from the court attendants. DR.

He plans to return to his work at Woods Hole, Mass., in July. Miss Young Heads Dent Miss Young will return to the University of Chicago next June where she will spend a year in resident work required for the completion of the Degree of Doctor of Zoology. MATT TAYLOR'S WIVES IN LEGAL TILT (Continued from page 1) the fact that he lost his life in line of duty as manager of the theatre and an Illinois compensation law covering employers who handle sums of money require that the firm carry insurance to this extent upon the responsible employee. Attorney Wilson, when interviewed by a Tribune reporter, refused to confirm or deny that he had been retained in the case. It it a delicate situation, he declared, and he was not in position to divulge any information. Mr. Wilson represented Mrs. Taylor. No. 1, when she obtained a separation from her husband sometime ago. State Laws Issue It is expected that Mrs. Taylor No. 1, will base her rights to share in the husband's estate on the ground that he married before the time limit of one year was up, and that the second marriage is invalid. The code under which the Taylor divorce was obtained specified that either parity was not "BOB" PELHAM RETIRES AT 70 Veteran of Bureau of Census Celebrates Birthday by Entering New Field After 28 years and six months continuous service in the Bureau of the Census at Washington, Robert A. Pelham has elected to retire and devote his entire time to government research work and to the gathering and dissemination of up-to-the-minute race news. On November 28, 1928, he handed to the Chief Clerk of the Bureau of the Census the following memorandum: "My seventieth birthday will occur on January 4, 1929, and I am desirous of retiring." Colorful Career Mr. Pelham's service record reads as follows: Interior Department, Special agent, July 3, 1891 to November 30, 1893. Interior Department, special agent, July 16, 1898, to October 20, 1899. Commerce Department, Bureau of the Census, July 2, 1900, to January 3, 1929. Mr. Pelham also served four years as an oil inspector for the state of Michigan, and four years as an inspector of the Detroit Water Office. In endorsing Mr. Pelham for an Indian Inspectorship in the Interior Department, Governor Luce, of Michigan, called him an "all-wether Republican with apologies to no one." Organizes News Service On January 5, Mr. Pelham took steps to incorporate the Capital Consulting Company and the Capital News Service, two ventures, in which he holds the controlling interest and will personally direct. The consulting company will engage, in Government research work, investigations and the gathering of statistical data. The News Service as its name implies, will engage in the gathering of all news of interest to the race, in the capital city. For the past fifteen years Mr. Pelham has held a supervisory clerkship in the Bureau of the Census, with credit to himself and eligible to marry again within one year. Tribune reporters in an effort to establish the weight of this contention should it arise learned by interviewing several prominent legal authorities that this fact may or may not have an effect on the case as much depended on the laws of the state in which the second marriage took place. Marriage Legal While it is a conceded fact that the child will obtain first consideration in the estate, the precedence of the wives one over the other is strictly a legal question. According to Illinois law, if the parties to a marriage have been declared legally divorced, the limitations or restrictions of the state from which they came are not binding. If the parties thereto answer truthfully and comply with the requirements of the Illinois code on marriage ceremonies and live up to these specifications, the marriage is valid in the eyes of the law. Taylor was buried here Sunday from the Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church. Services were in charge of Datcher Lodge of Masons, of which the deceased was a member. Both wives attended the funeral.

There was a bit of doubt in the mind of Connie Matthews, the victim, who said that he lived at the same address as to whether they had known each other ten or twelve years, but he was certain that he had been doused with the concentrated fluid and displayed a head badly bespeckled with bald spots to attest to the fact. An old army coat that he wore also was spotted with the liquid. The woman declared that she only resorted to this drastic measure when Matthews assaulted her with an iron pipe and declared that she merely seized the first thing that she got her hands on. As the penalty for mayhem is quite rigid in the District, the judge, after considering the fact that she had never been in trouble before and held a good record for consistent employment imposed a sentence of only 270 days.

Ke Profits Most, Who Serves Best— --- BOY SAVES DAD, BUT GOES TO JAIL HIMSELF The efforts of John Mansfield to save his father from trouble succeeded in landing him in the hands of the police on charges of carrying a concealed and dangerous weapon, Sunday. In Municipal Police Court Monday, Mansfield declared that he went to a restaurant at 1806 T street and took a knife from his father to keep him from getting in trouble. As he was en route home he was halted by a patrolman and upon being searched the weapon was discovered. The knife was of the table variety but had been sharpened down to a razor's edge. When the accused youth could not produce the missing father, the judge held him for further investigation. Cuts Brother-in-Law; A wound which defense counsel attempted to prove was inflicted by a broken bottle and not by a knife as was the government's allegation, came in for close examination by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, last week. His final decision was that the cut was too much in a straight line to have been dealt by the jagged edge of a piece of glass, and consequently Otto Jones, 983 Fifth street, southeast, charged with an assault with a knife on his brother-in-law, James Butler, went to jail for 90 days. According to the testimony of Butler, his brother, Andrew, and his sister, Lillian, Jones took objection to their reprimand of him for having abused their sister, who is also his wife. They declared that Jones followed James Butler, who it is said was the spokesman for the wife's relatives, when he left the house, and at the corner of Fifth and K streets, attacked him with an open knife. The assault consisted of a long cut on the cheek of Butler. Jones denied that he followed Butler from the house, and insisted that the cut on the face of his brother-in-law was the result of his being struck by a piece of glass which he admitted throwing. He stated that the glass was part of a bottle, which Butler had used in assaulting him. Counsel for the defendant asserted that Jones picked picked up the piece of bottle and hurled it at Butler only after the latter and his brother had attacked him. Testimony on both sides appeared so evenly balanced that the court admitted the presence of a reasonable doubt.

LOVE OF DADDY FOR BABY GETS HIM IN TOILS Loved Child So Well He Beat Wife Who Took Offspring from Freezing Home A father's love for his baby got Alphonso Webster into trouble Sunday night and netted him a $25 fine simply because it was the wrong kind of love. Webster was accused by his wife, Violet Webster, of assaulting her when she appeared against him in the Municipal Police Court Monday morning. "Your honor," explained the man, "my wife took our baby away from home last Wednesday and every night when I would come home she would not bring the child back although I pleaded with her because I really love my child. Sunday night I told her that if she did not return the child I would put her out and I did." "Please judge," faltered Mrs. Webster, "The baby was ill with a bad cold and my husband refused to put panes in the windows to make the house comfortable so I took the child to the Welfare Association so it could get proper care and—and he beat me and put me out because I refused to bring my baby back to freeze." "Webster," snapped the judge, "at first I sympathized with you and was inclined to let you go but your love is the wrong kind so I give you $25 or sentence you to 30 days."

FORM ELKS SAVINGS CLUR The Prudential Bank announces the opening of the Elks' Savings Club, which is similar to the new famous Christmas savings plan. By being a member of this club, which is open to all Elks and Daughter Elks, and making regular deposits of $4.00 per month, on August 15th, each member may withdraw the total amount deposited to his or her credit, with interest of 3 per cent. With this plan in operation no Elk should find his finance embarrassing around Grand Lodge time. GREENE ADDED TO BOARD OF PRUDENTIAL BANK The annual meeting of the Prudential Bank was held on Tuesday, January 8th. The same officers and board members were elected, with the addition of J. H. Greene to the board. 1928 was reported as the most successful year, when the surplus advanced from $1,181.50 to $13,179.00. The shares that were selling for $25.00 are now $40.00 each. More than 10,000 depositors have more than $322,000 on deposit. The deposits have made a steady gain from $42,000 five years ago, to the present $322,000. ____0____ Some of the world's best humor creeps into printed pages through the omission or transposition of one small letter.

Washington SIX GOOD MUSIC Olive Mae Colen Bride of Barrington Grice Henry One of the most beautiful and charming weddings of the winter season took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Willis J. Pleasure of 1412 Alabama avenue, southeast, at 7:30 o'clock Saturday, December 22, when their youngest daughter, Olive Mae Coleen, became the bride of Barrington Grice Henry of Washington, D.C. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Ross Barnum, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church, in the presence of relatives and close friends. The house was tastefully decorated with cut flowers and ferns and the bride was married under a Christmas tree, magnificently trimmed with silver tinsel and icicles, which harmonized with the silver of the bride's costume. During the prayer after the ceremony the bride and groom knelt on a large, yellow taffeta pillow. Just before the ceremony, "O, Promise Me," was sung by Rexford F. Ovelton. He was accompanied at the piano by Miss C. Evelyn Barnum, who also played the wedding march. The bride, who was given in marriage by her mother, wore a gown of bridal satin and lace. The dress was made bouffant style with close fitting bodice with a deep bertha which began in a point in front and reached the waist in back. The very full skirt was made with uneven hemline beginning just below the knees in front and reaching nearly to the floor in back. Deep lace was applied on both skirt and bertha in heavy silver thread and a cluster of three silver roses just below the left waist line gave the dress its finishing touch. The bride wore silver slippers with this costume. Her lace veil, which formed a train, was worn in cap style and held in place by a coronet of lace and orange blossoms. The point in front of the bertha was caught by a rhinestone pin in form of a cluster of flowers and her necklace was a silver chain with a cluster of pearls. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the valley. The bride had as her matron of honor, her only sister, Mrs. Koffier M. Flipping, who before her marriage was Miss Lida Cousuelo Colen. Her dress was of yellow moire made along straight lines draped on the left side and finished with a large bow on the left hip. A wreath of gold leaves was worn in her hair and she carried a bouquet of pink rose buds and maiden hair fern. The groom's only sister, Miss Myrtle Grice Henry was maid of honor and wore pale green georgette made sleeveless with a full skirt in flouces of points. Her bouquet was of pink rose buds and maiden hair fern. The bride's mother wore a black satin dress trimmed in tan lace and carried a bouquet of deep pink rose buds. Mr. Henry had as his best man his cousin, Jonas A. Henry of Pleasantville, N.J. Following the marriage ceremony an informal reception was held, after which the bride and groom left for their home. Mr. and Mrs. Henry left early Christmas eve morning for a motor trip to Cambridge, Md, home of the groom's father. They will make their home at 2023 Flagler street, northwest. MRS.

"I feel that a recommendation for traffic control should be put before the Director of Traffic, the Board of Education, and the public in general."

FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929 FEW TEARS SHED AS TEX RICKARD PASSES BARRIER TO NEGRO BOXERS REMOVED BY DEATH BARRIER TO NEGRO BOXERS REMOVED BY DEATH Published List of Promoter's Classification of Fighters Reveals Prejudice By Ralph Matthews NEW YORK — (Special to the Tribune).—Few tears are being shed by the followers of fistinia over the passing of Tex Rickard, boxing impressario as he is looked upon by colored sportsmen as the man who kept Harry Wills from a chance at the championship in his hey day, and was openly discriminating against George Godfrey in his proposed elimination bouts at the time of his death. It is one of the mysteries of the boxing world how the man who was started on his road to riches on the shoulders of Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, by promoting the famous Gans-Nel son go in Goldfield, Nevada, which cost the champion his life, should develop in later years to be the most famous "nigger hater" in the realms of sportdom. It was by training for this famous battle that Gans was started toward consumption by the rigid reduction in weight that was imposed upon him. Prejudice Pronounced For nearly ten years the persistent efforts of Harry Wills, logical contender for the heavyweight crown, to get an opportunity at the championship was one of the epoch making chases of the present generation as he dogged the heels of dodging Jack Dempsey. Sport fans were of the opinion that his failure to secure a match with the champion was due to a personal difference between the "Brown Panther" and the promoter. This belief was shattered, however, upon the publication following the latter's death of his rank of boxers in all classes. In each case Rickard has placed inconsequential novices far above black fighters of indisputable championship qualities. Striking Examples In Mr. Rickard's hitherto unpublished classifications of boxers are found the following examples of his deep seated prejudice. In the heavyweight class he places ahead of the name of George Godfrey, that of Paulino Uzcudun and Johnny Risko, both of whom were beaten to a pulp by the 200-pound mauler. Joe Dundee, welterweight champion, and other white youths are placed ahead of young Jack Thompson, who has not only whipped all comers but knocked the champion cold in their bout in which the crown was not involved about three months ago. Kid Chocolate and Al Brown, both champions in America and abroad suffer the same discrimination in their respective classifications. Planned Jim Crow Matches At the time of his death Rickard had announced his plans to promote a series of elimination bouts to find a successor to Gene Tunney, champion of the heavyweight division, who renounced his title, retiring recently in which all logical contenders were to participate MADAME HARRISON-ASTOR THE STORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET! 年 DESSALINES the TERRIBLE The DRAMATIC STORY of the Black Slave Who Rose to Be Emperor By J. A. ROGERS, Noted Negro Author and Journalist APPEARING EXCLUSIVELY IN THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Coach John Burr's Bison basketball team took the first three games in its intercollegiate series from A.& T. College, Johnson C. Smith, and Clark University. The A.& T. game, played at Greensboro, N.C., on January 1, was won by Howard with a score of 20-12. In the first half it was difficult for Howard to accustom itself to the small court, which accounted for the teams going along at a fairly even gait, but in the second half, due to phenomenal passing and the splendid shots of Wood and Simpson, Howard got away to a commanding lead which accounted for the season's initial victory. January 3, Johnson C. Smith was taken into camp on their own home court to the score of 23-18. Howard early showed a mastery over the Smith rivals with Wood and Johnson taking high score honors for the visitors. In Atlanta, Georgia, Howard defeated Clark University, 42-41, in the most sensational game of the Southern tour, Beasley, Howard's center, making the winning shot in the last nine seconds of play. HOWARD HAS TOUGH COURT SCHEDULE The following games are on the Howard University basketball schedule for this season. At-home games will be: Morgan College, January 11; St. Paul, January 23; Clark, January 24; West Virginia, February 2; Bluefield, February 8; Virginia State, February 16; Virginia Seminary, February 20; Lincoln, February 27; Hampton, February 28; Johnson C. Smith, March 2. Other games to be played away are: Virginia Seminary, January 19; Hampton, January 26; and January 28 and 29, the team will play in Chicago, February 12th Howard plays Lincoln at New York; and February 13, St. Paul on their home court; February 14 Virginia State; February 15, Union, at Richmond; February 18 Morgan at Baltimore; and February 22, Morgan College at East Orange, N.J. with the exception of George Godfrey. Death nipped these plans in the bud. Drop One to Morehouse by Big Margin; Down A. and T. in C.I.A.A. Howard University cagers started the New Year off by dropping one to Morhouse in one of their worst truncations of the season, and defeating A. & T. College in a comeback here this week. In the first game of the basketball season played at home, Howard University took an easy victory over A.& T. College, Monday night. With Captain Woods out of the line-up on account of the flu, it was expected that the Bisons would encounter considerable difficulty. Second team Romps Coach Burr sent in his second team which was able to run up a score of 14-6 at the end of the first half. Howard proved superior in every department of play and was able to hold the Aggies to the very slim score of five field goals and one foul, while the Bisons collected 18 goals from the floor and two from the foul line for a total score of 38-11. First C.I.A.A. Clash This is the second game with A. &. T. since January 1, Howard taking both with a considerable margin. This is the first team met by Howard in the C.I.A.A. since the reconciliation. There are seven more on the schedule with two games each. The real test of Howard strife will come next Friday night when the Bisons engage the Bears of Morgan College at Howard. Stopped by Morehouse Howard lost the last game of the southern tour to Morehouse, 51-23, Saturday night. The Bisons were hard hit by the flue, which took Captain Woods from the line-up. L. Archer, Panks and N. Archer, the six-foot center, starred for Morehouse. Simpson, the Bison's mainstay, was put out on fouls, while Williams starred in defeat.

Elevates Floor Game to Major Sport SALISBURY, N.C.—Having finished up the football season in a tie for state honors with Smith University, the Bears laid aside the moleskins and the cagers have donned basketball togs, and have begun the arduous task of rounding out just as formidable a quintet.

The show opened at the Biltmore Theatre this week. an elongated gentleman with a short coat and a gift of jabb a mile long. His string of jokes would win an endurance contest without refueling. Mrs Barnes and Lavinia Mack are two girls who can do something with their feet besides cover them with the kind of roll down socks the flappers are wearing this season. They dance. Then there are the Howardettes, a bevy of dancing dollies who would be the answer to any tired business man's prayer, especially when they wear those red what you-may-callums. There is also a boy and a girl who sing out of this world. I don't know their names, but if you've seen the show you know who I mean, and if you haven't it wouldn't do much good telling you anyway. Now to explain the purpose of all these rambling remarks. According to new journalistic rules, the theatrical reviewer is not supposed to mold sentiment for or against a show. The public is not expected to storm the box office or stay at home just because he says the show is good or bad. His purpose is merely to entertain his readers. Ha, ha!

I stole that line from Shelton Brooks, and if it is good enough for him to start the show off with at the Howard Theatre each week, it's good enough for me to open this review. "You know folks—you know I like Shelton; he is my favorite comedian, whether he does anything or not—and on the other hand folks"—that's the way Charles Ray, the boy tenor, works up the talking bit in his ballads. You've heard him surely. There is no way I can give an imitation of Galleg de Gaston, the comedian, because you can't make your voice cackle like a hen in newsprint. A lack of space will force one to kill two birds with one stone. I'll do it by saying that a southern atmosphere seemed to permeate the theatres this week, with "Dixie Dreams" holding the boards at the Howard with the above named artists, and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on the screen at the Republic, with James B. Lowe. I laughed with "Dixie Dreams" and cried with "Uncle Tom;" honest, I actually did, regular croakadile tears. Just why I should have set bravenly through all of the current screen dramas written especially to cause strong men to weep and then break down over one of the oldest of old dramas when Topsy got to crying at little Eva's funeral is a mystery to me. I wept bitterly. The gentleman opposite me put on his rubbers. All about me there were sniffing noses and working girls were wringing their handkerchiefs. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was good for the soul.

That is the question that baffles actor, manager and critic. When a stage offering has been dissected, sterilized and giving a dry cleaning before presented to the public to see that no naughty bits creep in and then the theatre-goers fail to respond. The policy of presentations was inaugurated at the Howard Theatre here to prevent any objectionable scenes carried in the average road show to keep from contaminating the morals of our holier-than-thou citizens. This policy is maintained at considerable expense to cater to our sophistication. But do we really want clean shows? Why is it that the same members of the intelligensia who will sneak off to their attics and burn the midnight oil reading an immoral book will turn up their noses at the slightest bit of suggestiveness on the stage? The answer is simple; most of them are hypocrites and want to put up a front in public while in private they are ripe for every "dirty" story they can get whispered in their ears. These questions are merely asked to ascertain if we desire cleanliness above all else in our entertainment, why are there so many empty seats at the Howard still. MUSICAL AT Y.W.C.A. A musical program and social hour was held Tuesday night of last week at the Phillis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., from 7 to 9. Mrs. Willie Powell was the first to appear with a vocal solo, and playing for herself. Mr. Joseph Douglass rendered two very fine violin solos, assisted by Mrs. Douglass at the piano. Miss Bessie Grant, of Howard University, sang in an inspiring spirit, with Miss Coleman at the piano. Mrs. Florence Butcher was next with a solo, assisted by Mrs. Joseph Douglass at the piano. It fell to Mrs. Edith Sewell to render two songs as her clear voice and perfect enunciation inspired the assembly to encourage for another effort. Miss Mattie Murrell entertained at the piano between the regular numbers of the program. Ice cream was served during the social period.

U. Dean A bronze tablet, dedicated to Dean Edward A. Balloch, of the medical school of Howard University, was presented to the University Monday night, with appropriate ceremonies, in the auditorium of the medical building. The occasion marked the 72nd birthday anniversary and the 50th year of continued service of Dean Balloch's connection with the Medical School of the University. Baltimore Girl Active Baltimore GIRL Active The credit for launching this project goes to Miss N. Louise Young, of Baltimore, who is a graduate of the college in 1927 and now in her junior year in medicine. She began work last spring by interesting students, faculty members and alumni in this token of love and respect for the unselish service of Dean Balloch during the past half century. More than 400 individual contributions were made to the fund for this tablet. Duplicate Plaque The tablet is similar in size and design to the one erected in honor of Dr. Lamh in 1925. The plaque bears this inscription: "1879-1929. To the inspiring Man and Scholar, Edward Arthur Balloch, A.M., M.D., Sc.D, F.A.C.S. In Acknowledgement of his unselfishneses and enthusiasm, his loyalty and untiring service for half a century, as teacher and Dean, we, the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of this school gratefully dedicate this tablet." Princeton Man After finishing his college course at Princeton University, Dean Balloch entered the Medical School of Howard from which he finished in 1879. That fall he became Demonstrator of Anatomy, in the school of Medicine and from that to Lecturer in Minor Surgery, the Assistant Professor of Surgery, Professor of Surgery, and Dean of the School of Medicine in 1910. He is now Dean Emeritus and acting Dean until his successor is chosen. Impressive Ceremony Greatly Touched Dr. Balloch was presented by President Johnson and said a few words which showed how touching were the exercises to him. He said that a man should have a reason for his existence in this world. He could best refer to his reason, by pointing to the men who have gone from the Medical School. He also said that no man could live unto himself and that he had been materially assisted by the service which Dr. W. A. Warfield had rendered. He was very much interested in the school and hoped to continue his service in its future advancement. He closed by saying that he wished he felt that he was due half of the great things said about him on this occasion, but he said in closing, "I will have to let you go on fooling yourselves." Cleaners and Dyers to Meet The executive committee of the Retail Tailors, Cleaners and Dyers Association has issued a call for a meeting of all tailors in Washington to meet this Tuesday, January 8, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Community Centre, Sixteenth and Q streets, northwest, to prepare for the coming march season, whereby they can give battle to the greedy and selfish, wholesale plant owners, who like parasites, live off the backs of the almost twelve hundred (1,200) small owners of cleaners and dyers in this city, by charging exorbitant prices thus leaving these small owners at the mercy of a hard struggle for their existence. Attorney Hyman Waldman, of this city, who is quite familiar with organizations of this type, will be the principal speaker on this occasion. This organization already has a membership of close to three hundred, and it is expected that close to a thousand cleaners and dryers will respond to this call. Tribune Correspondent Cites Action of Northern White Religious Fanatic By Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins (Special to the Tribune) NEW YORK CITY.—In the South, from which I came, the press is ever on the alert for stories of superstitious Negroes, or fanatically religious Negroes. Recently much space has been given in white papers here of the many queer religious sects that are scattered throughout the state of New York. A very notable story that southern papers would gloat over were the principal person involved colored deals with a white woman, a Mrs. Christine Walling, of Port Monmouth, who keeps her two minor boys out of school because of her religious beliefs. When brought before the judge in Freehold Juvenile Court last week she, with her Bible in her hand, told the court why she had not allowed her children to go back this term. She asserted that studying the subjects was evil. All is Sinful Drawing was a sin because the Bible says "Thou shall not make unto thyself any graven image." Mrs. Walling contended. She further stated that the pages of history are "splattered with blood" and God forbids taking human life, therefore history is evil. She claims that she teaches her children reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography; the latter subject being studied from a book published in 1868. Mrs. Walling is one of a group of religious men and women of Port Monmouth who have broken from the organized church on the basis that the ordinary churches cannot properly interpret the Bible. The judge found Mrs. Walling guilty of neglecting her children and failing to provide for their education, but deferred sentence until January 31, in the hope that Mrs. Walling would comply with the law, and send her children to school. Mitchel Again Heads Phi Beta Fraternity Arthur W. Mitchel, of Washington was again elected National President of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, which closed a most successful conclave in Louisville, Ky. last week. Many outstanding men and women delivered addresses to the convention prominent among whom might be mentioned, Dr. Alaine Locke, of Washington, D.C.; Prof. E. C. Roberts, director of the Academic department of Tuskegee Institute; Mrs. Sallie Stewart, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs; Hon. F. M. Sackett, U. S. Senator of Kentucky; and Alfred Selligman, trustee of the University of Louisville. The meetings were well attended and while the social functions were up to the high standard of Sigma, president Mitchell let it be known from the beginning that the convention would place special emphasis on its business program. The 1929 conclave will be held in New York City. The following officers were elected: Attorney Arthur W. Mitchell, Washington, D.C., national president; Dr. C. L. Roberts, Flint, Mich., vice-president, northern district; Attorney H. Reid, Portsmouth, Va., vice-president, eastern district; Prof. C. V. Troupe, Brunswick, Ga., vice-president, southern district; Dr. Earl Williams, St. Louis, Mo., vice-president, western district; Prof. J. W. Lewis, Howard University, Washington, D.C., national secretary-treasurer; and Dr. E. P. Banks, New York City, editor of "The Crescent." Georgetown Honors Mrs. Plummer and Pelham Celebrating its tenth anniversary last Friday night, the Georgetown Civic Association served its annual banquet at the Francis Junior high school, and having Dr. and Mrs. Roy U. Plummer and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, as guests. The association featured "ladies' night" which appears on its calendar every five years. The program was interspersed with vocal and instrumental solos and addresses, all by the ladies. The men were in the background, serving as waiters, marching in long lines to and from the serving table. The tables were arranged in the form of an X, representing the tenth anniversary. Miss Dorothy Taylor rendered an instrumental solo, accompanied by Charles F. Gibson. Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, of the Y.W.C.A., was introduced by the president, Mr. George T. Beason, who served as toastmaster. She spoke very complimentary of the association, and said she was sorry that five years would have to pass before she could be present again. Miss Rosetta Berry rendered an instrumental solo; Mrs. Irene Broadway recited "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight." Mrs. J. Turner Chase was so favorably impressed that she expressed the desire to see a female civic association, formed. Mrs. Julius Carroll recited "The Jinner," which provoked much applause. Mesdames Chole and Boley rendered a vocal and Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson asked three pertinent questions: Should wives have wages? Should wives have their day off each week? Are men over forty sensitive of their age? Mrs. John E. Smith said that the association certainly represented union. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 11. 1929 strength and brotherhood. Mrs. Roy U. Plummer, principal of the Francis Junior High School, said that "I am proud of our association. It is a live wire and does things. I would have you know that we, the faculty, shall not spared ourselves in giving your children the best there is in us." Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham congratulated the association on its large paid-up membership and the service it is rendering in the District as a bonafied civil association, and for inviting us every five years, for others do not invite us at all. This is the first civic organization to honor a principal of any school as you are honoring your principal tonight. She admonished the ladies to study politics, to study all parties and study the needs of the race. The menu consisted of grape fruit, fried chicken, peas, celery olives, ham, asparagus points, pine apple punch, ice cream, cake, coffee, fruit and cigars. BARRY FARMS NEWS. FUNERAL OF MATT TAYLOR Fully 1,500 persons attended the funeral services and viewed the remains of our slain member, Matt M. Taylor, Jr., representing all walks of life. The funeral rites were held from the Metropolitan Zion Wesley Church, D street, southwest. Among the clergy speaking were Revs. Watson and Washington, Public school officials who spoke included Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkinson and Benjamin Washington. Masonic rites were conducted by the Charles Datchen Lodge, F.A.A.M. The church vested choir of forty voices chanted beautiful hymns under the direction of Mrs. Anna Garrett. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. An additional night opening of the Birnire Community Center will be requested of the public school authorities. Such was the desire expressed by members of the Barry Farms Citizens Association at Monday night's meeting. At present the Center is only opened one night weekly on Monday. The death of Mrs. Narcissus Fossit, formerly residing at her residence on Howard road, is also announced. She having recently died in Baltimore, Md.

E. choir, Birney Choral Society, Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, the local Needle Craft Club and several other local choirs. PRODUCERS WAR IN NEGRO FILM FIELD Fifty colored performers spent Saturday rehearsing spirituals for a baptism scene in "Hallelujah." King Vidor, director, is leaving most of the rehearsing to his assistant, Red Golden. Actual production on the picture is held up while the leading man, Daniel Hayens, recovers from a severe cold caught while making a flood scene last week. Another all-colored film now being made in Hollywood is under the direction of Paul Sloane. Since these are the first all-colored pictures to be made, there is intense rivalry between the casts of each. Mr. Vidor went to New York to select his players while Mr. Sloane recruited his from Los Angeles. The problem, so far as the casts are concerned, has become one of competition between East, and West. The Los Angeles team, determined not to be beaten on its home ground, is working its director to a frazzle. The extras insist upon additional rehearsals, the principals offer to work at night. California is bent on proving its superiority. ADVERTISEMENT The National Ideal Benefit Society surprised Richmond, when under the leadership of its Founder and Supreme Master, it erected the handsome brick building at 210 E. Clay street. It is indeed a case of "Here I raise my Ebenezer." On the ground floor is to be found office space. On the second floor may be found the general offices, the conference room and the lodge rooms. On the floor above is the spacious auditorium, which can be converted into lodge rooms at will. Above this is the attic. The finishings are all that could be desired, and the lighting arrangements are superb. There is an abundance of daylight and at night the refulgent beams of the most modern electric lights make the place one of entrancing beauty. The sanitary arrangements are features. The President's office is in the front on the second floor. The quietude and business ability tend to please visitors. Supreme Master Holmes has displayed rare ability in the handling of finance and this monument to him is the crowning act of a life's work.—Richmond Planet. Dec. 29, 1928. Near Riot Threatens Morgan-Carlisle Game The storming of the box office by nearly five hundred disgruntled cash customers was threatened when the Morgan College basketball team left the floor at the Colonnade, on last Thursday night and refused, outright, to go on with their game with the Lichtman CarIsles until the management of the latter agreed to make a change in officials. A state of animosity, which prevailed throughout the fifty minutes that the contest was held up, was gradually approaching a breaking point when play was resumed with an alternate referee in control. The contest ended 41-39 in favor of the visitors. The break occurred seven minutes before the end of the first half. I. N. Cupid, Eastern Board Official, who was refereeing, called a foul on Rap Wheatley, Morgan guard, as the latter caged a one-hand loop shot over the head of Ed Davis. Cupid fouled Wheatley, and indicated to the scorers that no basket was o be allowed. Morgan Walks Off Immediately, the entire Morgan team crowded the arbiter and entered protest, asserting that the official had not acted on his own initiative, but had heeded a request of Davis in calling the foul and declaring he goal illegal. Unable to obtain satisfaction through Jones, his captain, William Taylor, coach of the college team, walked onto the floor and protested. Taking the ball, following Cupil's ultimatum to play or forfeit, Taylor throw it to the floor and ordered his men off. Cupid announced that the Carlisles were winners, 2-0, by a forfeit. No sooner had the players disappeared into the dressing room, than a milling crowd menaced the box office. William A. Graves, manager of the Colonnade, sensing a crisis, suggested that the game be continued with a new official. Through him, Sam Lacy, of the Community Athletic Association, was mustered into service. The visitors redressed, having already donned their civilian attire, and harmony was again restored. At the time of the interruption the locals were leading, 13-8, having set about their task early and established a lead which they maintained until the final few minutes. Lacked Sportsmanship It cannot well be said that the Morgan team quit because it was afraid of losing, even though such a result seemed imminent. The act, however, was one which is not flavored with the best of sportsmanship, and may result in the loss of a large number of the many friends the Monumentals have among local basketball enthusiasts. The loss of Slim Henderson, via the personal foul route, is perhaps the chief reason for the Lichtman defeat. Had not the lanky pivotman, whose work had been a thorn-in-the-side to the inimitable Lanky Jones, been disqualified, it is doubtful that the local clan would have been compelled to relinquish the lead which, through superior playing, they had held through the first 36 minutes.

NORTHWEST Telephone Nort WEEK BEGINNING MONDAY MATINEE, JANUARY 14th BIG MIDNIGHT RAMBLE FRIDAY NIGHT, 12:15 Wednesday Night is Opportunity Night — Saturday Night, Gift Night "White Shadows in the South Seas" at the Lincoln Theatre Love under the tropic moon—grim shadows of the money-hungry white man; fantastic scenery; far flung, gorgeous, but terrible—a thrilling drama of a dying race. These factors all contribute to make "White Shadows of the South Seas," which plays at the Lincoln Theatre for five days beginning Saturday, January 12th, to Thursday, January 16th, a picture that is human, natural and different. The story opens with Monte Blue as Dr. Lloyd, a beachcomber physician, salvaging the lives of native pearl divers on a South Sea island. These natives, urged on by the white man's cupidity, dive to great depths in search of the elusive mussels, and as a result are dying out rapidly from the tremendous pressure. Lloyd finds in his own maimed heart a great pity for these simple islanders. This pity earns him the enmity of the renegade whites on the islands and he is shanghaided aboard a pestship. After all other except himself have died, the ship is wrecked on a lonely uncharted atoll and Lloyd is cast ashore. After many hardships he finds a native village which has never seen a white man and the natives take him to their heart. It is his love for little Fayaway, the daughter of the chief, and his determination to keep her and her people away from the contaminating influence of his fellow whites which make the picture a mighty epic of the hearts of men as well as of the beauties of tropical nature.

Woodson, a Wash- ington man, has compiled a collec- tion of African myths and proverbs in a volume of 184 pages. The value of the book is enhanced because of the numerous illustrations throughout. Quoting the first paragraph of the Preface of the book, Mr. Wood- son says that "The folk tales of a people are a guide to the under- standing of their past. If you want to understand people of today you must find out what they have been. If the wealth of beautiful African legends is indicative of the early civilization of that continent the natives must have reached a high level of culture. To appreciate the African, then, we must hear him speak for himself in the charming stories handed down from sire to son." --- --- EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U Street, N.W.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles It would be well for every Negro child to read this volume of "American Myths." One of the stories is here given; it is called "Beware of Bad Company": "The rabbit and the big snake made for themselves a big town in the ground. The ground squirrel came and said, 'I want to stay with you all.' "The snake replied, 'All right; I agree.' "But the rabbit said, 'No.' "The snake asked the rabbit, 'Why do you not want the squirrel to stay with us?' "Because,' said the rabbit, 'this ground squirrel is a rascal; he does not sit down in the place; by and by he will bring trouble on us.' "Never mind,' replied the snake, 'the ground squirrel shall come and stay with us; I will mind you and I will mind your little brother? Are you jealous of your little brother?' "The rabbit remarked, 'You have the power. All right; let him stay.' So the rabbit went and made a little hole by himself. "Thus they lived for three months when the people came and made a farm near the town. Everything the people planted the squirrel would get up soon in the morning and dig up; he took up the corn, the potatoes, the cassava, and the ground nuts. "Every time the people got after the squirrel he would run to the same place. So the people decided to follow him and catch him. All the people went after the squirrel, and after digging a great deal in the ground they found him and killed him. "They said: 'The squirrel is not alone. Plenty things live in this hole.' So they dug on. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL There is a possibility that you did not pay very much attention to your 1929 calendars this year. You might have perchance gotten hold of one of those distributed by the National Benefit Life Insurance showing a lot of people standing out in front of the White House. If you got hold of one of these by mistake or otherwise, you are doomed for the next 365 days to look into the smiling countenances of such distinguished Washingtonians as Col. West Hamilton, Dr. John R. Hawkins, S. W. Rutherford, and a few other more or less distinguished personages. In the center of this group you will find a very insignificant looking individual with an apologetic look upon his face, which readily reveals that he realizes he has no place among such prominent gentlemen and he is a bit self conscious. That young man is one Calvin Coolidge, who came to Washington about eight years ago to take a government job. Standing next to him you will recognize the likeness of Major R. R. Wright, of Philadelphia, and his son is also in the group. For some inexplainable reason the Diplomat in the Capital, who was also an unofficial member of that delegation, is most conspicuous by his absence. How well I remember the day that we bankers were ushered into the presence of the afore-named government employee, Cal. As you walk in somebody or other calls your name off of a slip of paper, and Mr. Coolidge grabs your paw and gives you a Yankee handshake as though he were welcoming a long lost brother. He calls you by name if he catches what the man reading from the paper says, and then lapses into silence and lets you strut your stuff. Major Wright, who happened to be spokesman of this particular committee, hands Cal a lot of jibe about how much money Negroes had in Negro banks, and what these bankers were doing with the money, if anything; then we are all herded out in the back yard of the White House, where the pictures are snapped by a whole regiment of camera men. Now, the thing that mystifies me is how does it happen when I know positively that those pictures were taken in Cal's back yard, that now the whole gang is standing out in front of the White House on the National's nice new calendar. Surely such artistic deception should be exposed and should my readers once get the idea that I know of this traversy on truth and failed to reveal it in these columns, they would no longer regard me with the high esteem and respect due the honest, upright public servant as I am. With my good reputation for truth and veracity gone, who knows but what I might, because of a lack of these virtues, be forced to give up newspaper work and resort to practicing law. There is no limit to the depths to which one might sink. Perhaps you also saw Joe Maxwell's calendar. Joe has an enormous thing, about the size of the billboard you see along railroad tracks. If you are contemplating papering your house this spring, don't do it. Just go around and get one of these calendars, hang it on the wall, and you have the same effect. The calendar is decorated with pictures of all of the local schools, which will add an educational atmosphere to your home, and you can kill two birds with one stone. The Long Life Society with offices somewhere in T street, has a little gold bordered calendar with a landscape picture in the center. The landscape is full of blossoms, and fields, and sunset of a pinkish hue. This can be used during the summer by simply tearing off the months and days, putting a stamp on the back and using it for a post card to pretend you are spending your vacation near the scene depicted on the front. The Prudential Bank, the one place in the world that should send out calendars, has so far failed so far as my observation discloses. Banks should by all means put out calendars so their depositors can keep track of the days of each month so they can put enough money in to cover the checks they send through before the checks reach the bank. But taken on a whole Washington ton has a pretty creditable bunch of calendars this year. "The rabbit whispered over to the snake: 'I told you so, but this trouble is your trouble and that of your son squirrel, so I am going to my own little hiding-place.' "By and by the people found the big snake and killed him. But just before he died he said, 'The rabbit told me not to allow the squirrel to stay with us as he was sure to make us trouble. If you fail to take good advice, you will pay dearly for it in the end.' FORUM BANKS THAT FAILED The following letter is self explanatory and we wish to thank Mr. Lucas for this information.—The Washington Tribune:—I find your column, "The Year in Review" in the December 20 issue of the Washington Tribune quite informing, but the paragraph "The people, happy for having caught the stealing squirrel and big snake, did not dig farther, and the rabbit was safe in his little home. 'Bad company is sure to lead to trouble.'" So ends the story. Mr. Woodson is the founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History.

Ralph Mathews FORUM BANKS THAT FAILED The following letter is self explanatory and we wish to thank Mr. Lucas for this information.—The Washington Tribune:—I find your column, "The Year in Review" in the December 20 issue of the Washington Tribune quite informing, but the paragraph on banks contained a statement which I do not think is a fact. To quote directly from your statement: "We can be proud of the fact that there has not been a single bank failure among our group this year. I am sure it is your desire to give the facts in the case, but you seemed to have over-looked the following bank failures: Solvent and Fraternal Savings Bank & Trust Company, Memphis, Tenn. about January 3, 1928; Penny Savings Bank, Augusta, Ga., February 16, 1928; Wear Earners Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga., about March 2, 1928, and the Modern State Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about August, 1928.

A white or yellowish coating on your tongue is a danger signal of those digestive disorders. It tells you why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, your every morning! stomach, dizzy, swallows.

The names of the banks may not be technically correct, but this will be sufficient information for you to confirm the fact that they failed. I do not know that this list is complete, but with the exception of the bank in Mississippi, I have had occasion to visit each of those mentioned above. It may also be stated that one or two of the above were not legally chartered as anks, but they certainly functioned as such and were so considered by the general public. As stated above, I wish to give you the benefit of such information as I had on the subject so that you would have at least some of the facts. C. E.
