Seven Years The affair between his wife and Smith went on for seven years, he declared, according to his wife's confession to him after the tragedy. For months when he thought she was going to work she was spending her time in one of Smith's rooms, of which he had several.

Mrs. Jackson received a bronze medal and a check for $100, although she was ill and had Mrs. M. McAdoo, secretary of Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., to act as her Twelve Meetings This meeting was one of twelve such affairs that were held in as many cities of the country Tuesday night, from New York to Chicago, Atlanta and Tuskegee. The Inter-racial Commission was sponsor of the meeting and Canon Ansen Phelps Stokes presided. The award to Mrs. Jackson for her fine work in sculpture was presented by Dr. Alaine Leroy Locke, Professor of Philosophy at Howard University. He brought out the fact that there are only three colored sculptures in this country and all of them are women, two from Philadelphia. Speaking of the "Spirituals" of the race, Dr. Locke said that it is a fact that past generations still live in the art, although they were the product of sorrow, we still cherish them and often the descendants of former slaveholders sit and are humble. Lauds Recipient The award to Mr. Rutherford was presented by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University. He said, "Samuel Wilson Rutherford has been diligent in business. His modest beginning, his trials and privations, his faith in God and in man, as he triumphed over difficulties, is an epic story of struggle, sacrifice and success." He told of how Mr. Rutherford, starting with a capital of $11.00 thirty years ago, has pushed his company to a $250,000.00 corporation, with $6,000,000.00 in assets, and a premium income of $4,006,000.00 annually, and giving employment to many people in twenty-six states. In accepting the award Mr. Rutherford said, "How strange I am a part of history. I learned my alphabet and how to spell in Sunday school. Coming up from a plow-boy in Georgia, through many handicaps and disappointments, I have arrived. Courage and kindness are the two words that have played the greater part in my life."

ARRESTED TOO OFTEN WIFE ASKS DIVORCE Mrs. Juanita Jackson Says Hubby Was Constantly Being Locked Up for Drunkeness A marriage of twenty-four years is ending in the divorce courts. Mrs. Juanita L. Jackson, of 1718 Ninth street, northwest, filed suit Monday for a limited divorce from Raymond A. Jackson, a skilled laborer at the Government Printing Office. The couple was married October 25, 1905. They were happy for 14 years. Marital troubles began in 1919. There were several arrests of her husband on serious charges. Mrs. Jackson says, bringing disgrace upon her and their two grown children. Mr. Jackson began drinking heavily and became cruel and abusive, she charges, and the divorce courts were resorted to for a settlement of their difficulties. Turns Out Lights Her husband was arrested in 1819, in February, 1920, in May, 1921, and in 1923, on serious charges, Mrs. Jackson charges in her bill of complaint. While intoxicated, she says, he makes life unearable for her, using "coarse language, cruel abuse and vile epithets." He persists in nagging her, she states. He turns out the lights in their home, she says, forcing her to sit and move about the house in darkness. He plays the victrola until the early hours of morning, she declares. He assaulted their son., Reginald, age 18 years, October 15 last, and was arrested and paroled by the judge on the condition that he would quit drinking, Mrs. Jackson states. Put Children Out He forced her and their two children to leave the house February 2, and seek temporary refuge elsewhere to avoid his abuse and cruelty, she claims. Charges Non Support He would not give her money for her support before July, 1928, and since then he has given her only a small sum at irregular intervals never exceeding $25 a month, she states. Her health is bad, she says, and she must frequently consult Dr. A. M. Curtis, her physician. Her husband earns $120 a month and in addition receives a pension of $30 a month as a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Asks Alimony Mrs. Jackson asks the District of Columbia Supreme Court to grant her a limited divorce, alimony and counsel fees. She also asks that her husband be restrained from molesting or interfering with her. Besides the son, Reginald, there is a daughter, Miss Gladys E. Jackson, aged 22 years. Attorneys Houston & Houston represent Mrs. Jackson. COLUMBIA U.

Weak and Nervous MRS. S. Overton, of 1403 Thirteenth Ave., South, Nashville, Tenn., writes: "About a year ago, I had a nervous breakdown. I had been very much worried, and this caused me to be extremely nervous, so that I did not sleep well at night. I would wake in the morning feeling worm and haggard. "I cannot say that I suffered so much pain—just weak, tired and run-down. I read so much about Cardul and how it helped other ladies, I decided to try it, as I was getting out of heart. "After my first bottle, I rested better at night, so felt better in day time. I kept on taking Cardul until I felt well and strong. Cardul did wonders for me." For sale by all drugists.

(If you have missed the preceding chapters of this home life story, ask us for them) CHAPTER III. Bob and Grace buzzed around the room like two busy bees. For it was party night . . . one of those foursome affairs that brings gladness into the home after a hard day of dollar-chasing. Bob, thumbs in vest, surveyed the room . . . then flashed one of his schoolboy grins. "Guess Marie and Chet will step easy when they see this outfit, won't they? New rug . . . new carved frame suite . . . new everything! Doesn't look like the old stuff, does it?" "No," answered Grace, "and you can thank Marie for the idea." "That's right . . . instead of 'Pay As You Enter' it is 'Sit Easy and Enjoy Life As You Pay.' Grogan's credit plan was certainly a life saver for us." The bell, said the other pair, breezed in. Bob had guessed right . . . the newly furnished room earned plenty of praise. While the girls were comparing notes, the boys got together in the den. "Well," asked Chet, "did you get your money's worth." "It's this way. You know that I am right hard boiled about investments. There are plenty of good ones, of course, but the man who sold me this made it seem to be the greatest money making possession of the age. It just happened to turn out wrong. So now I am inclined to be a little slow to respond when something is described as the smoothest, finest, rarest, sweetest thing in town. I would rather find that out in my own way."

"What's that you just said about being slow to respond?" "Yes . . . and 'getting your money's worth nowadays is a great game.'" "Right! Here is one proof," and he pulled a beautifully engraved certificate from his pocket. "$300 worth of blue jeans on one thin dime and the paper is yours." Bob declined with sympathetic thanks and asked for further details. G 81 SPECIAL TE Census officials are preparing for the taking of the census next year. They are providing for 550 supervising districts, and will not follow Congressional districts as before. This time the Director of the Census will appoint all persons to be employed instead of the members of the House issuing the appointments. The work will start May 1, 1930, and will take from four to six months to complete, and will require the service of more than 100,000 persons. It will seek to record, not only population growth but reliable data on agriculture, irrigation, drainage and trade distribution. Mrs. Gray's Trial Deferred Mrs. Edna Gray, 430 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, who was scheduled to appear before United States Commission Needham C. Turnage last week, on the charge of performing an illegal operation, was granted a continuance until February 19, on the account of the illness of Miss Hardy, alleged victim of the operation. Mrs. Gray has been arrested five times for this same offense and once for murder, but in each case, she has been successful in obtaining postponements until important witnesses for the prosecution died before the trial could be called. District Attorney Leo A. Rover and his assistant, Miss Pearl McCall, declare that this case against Mrs. Gray, will be pressed to the utmost. Janitor Awarded Damages For False Arrest Robert W. Johnson, janitor at 160 Q street, northwest, was vindicated Wednesday after having been arrested and detained for twenty-four hours on a charge made by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wasserman, tenants of the building. Headquarters detectives testified that they would not have arrested the janitor except for the insistence of the Wasserman's, as they, the detectives, attributed the loss of a coat about which Mrs. Wasserman complained to a white man who had been entering apartments in that section. Justice O'Toole awarded Mr. Johnson three hundred dollars damages. Mr. Johnson was represented by Attorneys Thomas Beckett and Benjamin L. Gaskins.

"Fair enough," admitted Chet, "but in the future the fellow who gives me simple, honest facts will be my friend. If I buy it, it is going to please me a lot to find that his goods are better than his own. But he the prince of our satisfied customer is better than the exaggeration of a dozen go-getting salesmen." Discriminates Them ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Former Mayor Keil, in an address here last night said the Miller administration had discriminated against the race and that the time has arrived to elect a mayor who will give them a square deal. He said that they were jockeyed around on the hospital and playgrounds propositions. "When I lett office," said the former mayor, "I left $1,200,000 to build you a hospital. The ordinance had passed, the money was ready. All they had to do was build it. They sidestepped and faltered. They didn't give you the playgrounds which was yours by right. They said it would cost too much. Not so for the whites. There is a difference it seems." Buck Jones Beats Man Buck Jones of the 8th precinct, was accused Saturday of brutality by Alphonso Wood, employed at 1108 G street, northwest, before the Gibson sub-committee of the House District Committee, investigating complaints against the police department. This complaint grew out of the raid made on "The Gay Parce" night club at 1211 U street, northwest, last Thursday, when 89 young men and women were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and hauled to the 8th precinct. Wood told Chairman Gibson that he was attacked by Buck Jones, while standing on the sidewalk, attracted there by the number of patrol wagons, and was asking questions when Policeman Jones struck him in the face. He also punched him in the mouth and pushed him in the patrol wagon. Wood says he was beaten at the 8th precinct station house.

BUSINESS MEN ASKED TO TAKE PART IN EXHIBIT BUSINESS MEN ASKED TO TAKE PART IN EXHIBIT DAVID TERREL JOHNSON RETIRES David Terrell Johnson, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the past forty years, was retired at noon last Friday with appropriate ceremonies.

It is said of Mr. Johnson, that he never was tardy one time during these years. BALTIMORE. Md. — Washingtonians have been invited to participate in a Business Men's Exhibit, unique in the history of race enterprise in the state of Maryland, which was planned by Rev. C. E. Stewart, pastor of Trinity A.M.E. Church, Biddle street and Linden avenue. Edmund W. Scott was master of ceremonies with grace and dignity. Mr. Dagshy, one of the oldest colored employees of the Examining Division presented Mr. Johnson with sixty dollars in gold which represented the contribution and expression of appreciation of the employees of the Examining Division. Miss Sarah Minor, after delivering a wonderful and impressive speech, presented him with a handsomely bound Bible, his name engraved on it in gold letters. Mrs. C. Brawner presented him with a lovely basket of flowers. Mesdames Ida Jordan and Cora D. Johnson presented him with a large cake and two and a half dollars. Mrs. Iola Sewell recited an original poem which was fitting in honor of Mr. Johnson. Rev. Wm. D. Marsh, D.D., pastor of the Beulah Baptist Church, made some very splendid and timely remarks. Robert O'Hara, chief of the division, made the closing remarks with reference to the splendid record made by Mr. Johnson. The exhibit will be held during the entire week of February 18. Thirty-six booths, more than thirty of which have already been allotted, will be set up in the basement of the church. Space will be allotted only to race business men. The enterprises that have securel booths represent twenty-three branches of business, including a gas filling station and a sculptor. A program has been arranged for each night of the exhibit. Among the invited speakers are: Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Mayor Wm. F. Broening, Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and representatives of lodges, churches, schools and labor organizations. Tuesday night, February 19, will be school night. Wednesday, church night; Thursday, fraternal night; and Friday, organization night. The movement has met with enthusiastic support. MERRY MAKERS ENTERTAINED Warrant Against Wife Quashed by Court A sumptuous repast was served to the members of the Club Merry Makers at the residence of James T. Robinson 2655 Bowen road, Anacostia, D. C. on February 12. Members present were as follows: Bernard F. Cooke, president; Richard S. Cooke, Edgar Cooke, Harry Curtis, Theodore Bush, Joseph Duckett, and James Green. After the repast which was served by Mrs. Agnes Robinson the members devoted the remainder of their time to the playing of cards. A warrant charging Mrs. Elizabeth House and Theodore Wade with adultery which had been obtained by the woman's husband was quashed in the office of the District Attorney upon petition of Attorney Bernard Jackson, who proved to the satisfaction of the prosecutor that Mrs. House was sleeping with the wife of the janitor in the apartment house where Wade was employed and that he had nothing to do with her. The husband who had come to the city from Virginia ordered his wife's arrest without conducting an investigation and the case was noll prossed. The Club Merry Makers are extending to all whist clubs of this city a formal challenge. Any one wishing to accept this challenge kindly call Richard Cooke at Lincoln 7444; W or write, 2639 Bowen road, southeast, Anacostia, D. C.

MEMORIES By Zeta Kinnerman In the silence of the evening When the cares of day are done, Memories sweet and sorrows' shadows, Linger with me here. Childhood's play, and friends and follies, Fields and streams, flow'rs and meadows. I love gay and games together, all new again. I enjoy this quiet pleasure, refreshing to my soul; and I smile when I remember, those whom I have loved. Oh! the joy of childhood fancies! Oh! the thrills of those first loves! Oh! the Heavenly inspiration— In my quiet hour. I am grateful for sweet memories They add strength when days need cheer; For the ghosts of disappointment Come to chill the brain Treasure memories sweet and wholesome; Keep the heart fresh, pure and warm. Plant those seed that bring rich harvest All along Life's way. ____ ____ 1 The Washington Tribune By Benjamin T. Montgomery (Dedicated to Isiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, Miss. The first all-Negro town in America, which was incorporated in 1887.) Out of the dark wilds of Africa Our race by compulsion was brought. We knew not it was the slave traflicker Our lives for his market had sought; Until on awakening one morn, We saw on our limbs chains of scorn. For Lo! we were in a slave market! Unfortunate for one of our band. On went the sale and we parted Perhaps nevermore would we meet; Our fate in this land had just started In chains from our heads to our feet. Children from parents were snatched. Years bore this great human wrong Till freedom with slavery was matched! Then "Liberty for all" was our song. Our blood in its struggles for freedom Gushed forth from overstrained veins! Then like a new plant just from seedom Our free race was scattered o'er plains! Look up, O Race! just from slavery! Look up to the bright beacon light! Our bondage has shown us our bravery. EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE OUR RACE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL There was much ado about nothing up at Howard University last week. The faculty, like faculties generally do, came out and showed their dumbness. They seemed surprised and made an issue of a little kissing escapade, which most any student can tell you is quite an everyday occurrence. They pulled a greater boner. By suspending the parties concerned they made a very drastic mistake. Male students now realize that kissing girls is objectionable to the faculty. Girls understand definitely that kissing boys is taboo. Nothing makes a thing more inviting to modern youth than to prohibit it. Young men will now take their kissing more seriously. What was until a few days ago but a pleasant pastime will now become an absolute necessity, just like bootleg gin. Kissing, now that it is absolutely and positively against the rules, will find its value much enhanced. Nothing gives a thing a kick like making it unlawful. Hitherto, if information is correct, kissing was indulged in mildly by girls and boys who had a bit of affection for each other or at least thought they did. Up until last week, if my espionage system can be depended upon, it was not a custom for every Tom, Dick and Harry to walk up to every Annie, Jane and Mary and kiss them without being properly introduced. Kissing, I am given to understand, was a means to an end. It was something that two people could not enjoy until they had become at least slightly acquainted. In other words, girls kissed only fellows they liked and boys did the same, only the latter were much more versatile. But laws change everything. The kiss is now indulged in for kissing sake. Adam, the Bible reveals, did not have any special preference for apples over all the other fruit in the Garden of Eden. That old rascal, I am willing to wager, would have tasted poison ivy if the Angel had hung a "Thou shalt not" sign on it. I have little data on hand to prove that the average college boy is neither better or worse than Adam, or the college girls different from Eve except she perhaps wore more clothes. Why then should faculties even surmise that by putting their feet down on kissing that it will be wiped out? This merely proves my contention that if you take a college professor's nose out of a book you will find him a very dumb animal indeed. Judging from the results that National prohibition had on the youth of America, I expect almost any day now to see young men burning the midnight oil brewing new concoctions in synthetic kissing. The campus will be literally swarming with bootleg copies of "60 Ways of Kissing a Girl," and certain nooks and corners of the chapel, library, gymnasium and classrooms will be pointed out by those who know as "Kisseasies." "Moonlight and Rosies," that inseparable couplet that goes hand in hand with Cupid will soon give way to "Moonshine and Twolips," and a rival will be known as a "hijacker" and a courtship will no longer be referred to as a romance, but as a "racket." Far fetched you say comparing kissing with drinking. Others, my dear, have drawn the same simile. Did not Tennyson write: "O Love, O fire! Once he drew with one long kiss my whole soul through, My lips as sunlight drinketh dew." Of course there is a possibility that he swiped some of my manuscripts, but what care I? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Of course there is a possibility that he escribs, but what care I? I imitation is the script, but all joking aside, as kissing is really some of the jains some folk get themselves were in the dark about such things.

But to get back to Howard University, if they lift my suspension, the faculty and not the students are to blame for this near catastrophe. Were a member of this illustrious body, I would start out the year assuming that there is a certain amount of kissing going to be done. I would make no effort to curb this natural inclination on the part of the sexes, but I would set out to see that it is done rationally and properly under supervision. Certain hours of the day or evening I would designate as "Kiss Hour," and I would let both the kisser and kissee fill out slips showing that they are desirous of kissing each other. Then I would assemble all of the prospective kissers in a spacious room and let them kiss for one hour. The more proficient I would bring out front to lead the exercises. Some member of the faculty could sit in the center of the floor and beat time, like one, two, three, embrace; one, two, three, kiss; one, two, three, at ease; etc. At the end of each kiss period I would have some prominent physician give a short talk on the germs and diseases that can be contracted through kissing. This would make the evening just too enjoyable for words. whole soul through. Our freedom should show us our might. If under the lash we have strug- gled. And harvests for others have reaped; Our energies now should be doubled. Our harvests like theirs should be heaped. Prejudice and social equality Are ph antons that haunt us each day; But deep minds filled up with morality Will soon wipe these pests away. So let us as each day is dying, Strive to add just one more step To the broad stairway of trying, A payment to make on life's debt. Then when life's battery is exhausted, And its current no more shall flow Our flag of truce we'll have hoisted. To Death! our conqueror of yore! THIS WEEK'S ? This week we are asking "Who is the most famous woman in Washington?" Wm. A. Baltimore, 206 Elm street, northwest, instructor of printing in Shaw Junior High School says: "Miss Nannie Burroughs is my first choice." Mrs. R. C. Archer, 1759 U street, northwest, a teacher at Vienna, Va., says: "Dean Slowe of Howard University stands out in my mind as the most important woman in Washington." F. T. Harris, haberdasher, 1935 9th street, northwest, "That is a hard question to answer, but I would say Miss Nannie Burroughs." Mrs. E. E. Just, 412 T street, northwest, a teacher, says: "I want to name, and definitely so, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, not only for her service on the School Board, but for the community work she did in and around Howard University." in and around Howard University." Lloyd G. Cuney, 134 Seaton place, northwest, government employee, says: "Miss Nannie H. Burroughs heads the list in my estimation." Mrs. L. D. Dokes, employment agency, 1935 9th street, northwest, says: "I would say Miss Burroughs. From her line of work and what she is trying to do for the women of the race, is the outstanding one." James Bell, "King of the Boot-blacks," 725 Florida avenue, northwest, says: "I would say that Miss Burroughs had ... more than any other woman for the race, I name her." Mr. Thurston, cafeteria, 934 9th street, northwest, says: "My mother is dead. And we have so many women here; but I would name Dean Sleo of Howard for the wonderful work she is doing among the young people up there." A. S. Pinkett, secretary, N. A. A. C. P., 748 Harvard street, northwest, says: "I will have to name Miss Burroughs as first choice" FORUM WHO WAS TO BLAME? Dear Editor: Now that the Community Chest Fund has been raised may I ask you who was responsible for the jim crow method used? All other representative citizens on the general committee met at the Mayflower Hotel except our (mis)representatives. It was supposed to be a great effort of united citizens—not separate races. A great many did not contribute on account of the apparent discrimination. Please explain. C. LESLIE KRAZIER, Editor TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Dear Editor: As this week is Negro History Wesk I decided to write about the Negro. Since I am a Negro I love to read and talk about the progress of my race which I think is greater than any other race. I love to hear the word Negro and am happy to be a Negro. As long as I live I will uphold my race. The Negroes' first home was in Africa. There they lived in peace and happiness. One day the Negroes' joys came to an end for Dutchmen landed on the coast and fooled the natives on board their ships. They brought them over here and sold them as animals to the American farmers. For a long time the Negro worked in the North and South with no wages, little food, and poor clothes. After a time the North found out that they had no use for their slaves so many northern slaves were given their freedom, but there was plenty to do in the South. Picking cotton was the greatest of all, and in this miserable way the Negro worked for a long time. Then Lincoln freed the Negro, and we have been free for only 60 years but in that time we have made wonderful progress. Inez Selden (10) 2217 Flagler Pl. N.W. NEW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL By Geneive Butler (13) Negroes, as you know, have put forth an effort to do fine things. We all know that the Garnet-Patterzon Junior High School is built for the Negro children and teachers. The pupils of this school will co-operate with the teachers and the principal by doing their best and helping others to progress. There is no better school built in this city than the Garnet Junior High. In this school the Negro children have a chance to grow up and become great men and women some day. The school is provided with every convenient thing possible and there is no reason why we should not show our appreciation by attending school regularly. There are fine gyms for girls and boys, there are printing shops and drawing rooms. We also have the most beautiful cafeteria that any school could possibly have. There is also a large auditorium in which we have plays and assembly. This school is located on Tenth and U streets, northwest. With these wonderful things to help us to learn I see no reason why we should not progress more every day. 1812 Vernon St., N.W. LIMERICK WINNERS The winners of Limericks No. 1 and No. 2 will be announced in the magazine section of the Tribune next week. No limerick appears this week, but we will have one again next week. You must do your best in these limerick contests because people all over the country are competing in it, grown folks as well as children. Keep trying, we want to see a Washington boy or girl win one of the prizes. Remember—if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Tell me who has seen the wind? Up and down the world he passes. Knocks at door and window pane, Wanders through the reeds and grasses. Round and :oun she'll race with me, Then, across the tree-tops riding, Bends the boughs and shakes the leaves; But himself he's always hiding. Tell me who has seen the wind, Over town and steeple swinging? On the land and on the sea, Day and night I hear him singing. Gensieve Middleton 18 14th St., S.E. I'M A NEGRO Dear Editor: I am just writing to let you know how I appreciate the Kiddies' Korner. I enjoy reading the poems and stories sent in by other Negro children. This is Negro History Week and we had THE NEGRO THE WIND (Selected) exercises at my school today celebrating the event. Each contribution showed one of the great achievements made by the Negro. I think that every Negro child should hold high his or her head and say proudly "I am a Negro." I will close now with the hope that every Negro child is proud he is a Negro. Verna Dozier (10) 318 Fla. Ave., N.W. CEREBRATES BIRTHDAY Thomas Edward Boston, of 1608 Montello avenue, northeast, celebrated his thirteenth birthday on Monday, February 4, with a party. Among those present were Evelyn Lorraine Hall, Elaine Boyd, Hortense Thomas, Lillian Dickerson and Ellen Early; the boys, Oatha Thomas, Jr., Berkley Burrell, Charles Carter, Odie Browne, Harry and William Bennett, Edwin and William Stevenson, William Greene, Lawrence Dickerson, Joseph and Richard Winters, Norlwood Collins and Homer Thurston. THE WEEK IN REVIEW By J. A. G. LuValle Honesty Pays Queen Mother of Spain A Thief vs. Embezzler White Women Drive Trucks Figures and Figures St. Louis Mothers in Child Study HONESTY PAYS Three news items from St. Louis, Chicago and Fredericksburg, Va., give the lie to the white man's general declaration that All Negroes will steal. In St. Louis $3,100 was found and turned over to the bank that lost it by a colored man, who received $25.00. In Chicago, $21,000 was found and returned by a colored man who received $200.00 and near Fredericksburg an 8-year-old boy found and returned jewelry to the value of $18,000 and received $3,000 for his trouble. These are a few of the many incidents which are characteristic of the race and refutes all statements to the contrary which question the honesty of the race? With individuals it is different. QUEEN MOTHER OF SPAIN DIES Maria Christina, mother of King Alphonso XIII of Spain, was appointed Queen Mother and served instead of her son, who was born in 1886, until his assumption of the throne. She was Queen in 1898 when the Battleship Maine was brown up in Havana harbor on the night of February 15th of that year and the war that followed between the U. S. and Spain. Some of us may have forgotten Queen Maria, but the boys who preceded Roosevelt up San Jaun Hill and those who later suffered in the Philippines will remember her. Cuba obtained its freedom from Spain during her reign. She also lost the Philippines by purchase of the U. S. A. THIEF vs. EMBEZZLER When a man steals a dollar or two he is labeled a thief. When he steals a million he becomes an "embezzler." Take the case of Clinton S. Carnes, who rose from a former convict to a position of much prominence as the treasurer of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, white of course, decamped after nine years, with a million dollars. He was allowed to plead guilty to embezzlement, in Atlanta, Ga., and was sentenced to 5 years in the pen. That is at the rate of $200,000 per year in the pen. A Negro stole a loaf of bread in this same Atlanta and he was sentenced to the pen for a year and a day. It is better to seal a million than a loaf. WHITE WOMEN DRIVE LAUNDRY TRUCKS A report from Savannah, Georgia, says that one of the largest laundries in the city will in the future use white women to drive delivery trucks. Colored men have been driving for this laundry every since it started, and they have given satisfaction. "It remains to be seen if the white women will prove as efficient and profitable as the colored men," says the Savannah Tribune. This is another sign of the changing Dixie. The Ku Klux Klan has changed its tactics of open outrages on Negroes and struck at far more vital spot, that of the economic and industrial welfare. By cutting off the Negro's bread and butter in the city may force the Negro back to the farm and serfdom. FIGURES AND FIGURES During the month of December, says the Houston Informer, 10 Ne 1 SPECIAL FEATURES gro undertakers buried 144 Negroes. Death certificates were signed in 40 instances by colored physicians and in 104 instances by white physicians. Says the Pittsburgh Courier, these figures show the "Negro doctor is superior." We would like to believe this is true, but it is not necessarily a correct conclusion from the facts in hand. the study group has been o learning some of the fundam of parental education. They course of eight lectures this Mrs. B. F. Bowles directs the in St. Louis. All organizations interest the development of children do well to emulate this m study group in St. Louis and tend this effort over the co The mothers of Chicago s The truth may be that the greater part of medical practice in Houston is in the hands of whites. In this case they should be expected to have a larger death list.—Afro-American. Can it be possible that the Negroes of Houston, where they used to have signs in the parks, warning, "No Niggers and dogs allowed"; are employing white physicians in preference to men of their own race? Or is there a dearth of colored physicians when compared to the Negro population of 42,000? ST. LOUIS MOTHERS IN CHILD STUDY The mothers of St. Louis who are engaged in child study, are proud of the fact that they are possibly the only group of colored mothers doing scientific child study work.

PETER HARRIS the study group has been quietly learning some of the fundamentals of parental education. They had a course of eight lectures this year. Mrs. B. F. Bowles directs the work in St. Louis. All organizations interested in the development of children would do well to emulate this mother study group in St. Louis and extend this effort over the country. The mothers of Chicago should especially look into the possibilities of this study course, since a report from the Windy City says 96 per cent of the children there are defective. MAN STRUCK BY AUTO John Hornsby, 1114 First street northwest, was struck by an automobile at First and L streets, northwest, as he was attempting to cross the street.
