Wells, 1161 First street, northwest. She is much impressed with Capital society. Judge Bars Man From Attending Church Here Canadian Visitor MISS JULIA MARGARET H and Mrs. L. F. Hubbard, of Toron and Mrs. William A. Wells, 1161 F impressed with Capital society. Judge Bars M Attending Church Member From Blue Plains Too Full of Wrong Kind of Spirit William S. Smith will not be able to go to church for quite a spell. Judge Robert F. Mattingly has put a damper on Smith's religious ardor in the form of a suspended sentence if he returns to the city on Sundays. Smith, who says he is 55 years of age, a shock of white hair on his sepia hued head, appeared in police court Monday morning on a charge of being drunk on the public street. He was picked up by an officer when he fell none too ceremoniously in the middle of the car tracks. Smith told the Judge that he was an ardent member of Mt. Zion Church and came here every Sunday from Blue Plains to get a touch of the spirit. Judge Mattingly ruled that Smith took a touch of the wrong kind of spirit, and in spite of his protestations that he fell because his leg had failed him, imposed a sentence of thirty days to take effect if he is caught here under similar conditions on Sunday again. The fact that Smith had been arraigned on a similar charge on five previous occasions affected the court's decision. AUTO THIEVES HAVE EVENTFUL DAY Sunday was quite an eventful day for George Wendall Reed and George Maynard, 722 St. Marys street, who were not only arrested for stealing an automobile, but must also face charges of failing to stop after striking a pedestrian. According to police the pair was nabbed in a stolen automobile near Hyattsville, when the tags were recognized as those belonging to an automobile that figured in a hit and run accident. At that time it was not known that the car was stolen. The men declared that they had stolen the car to pilot another man through the city with a carload of liquor. TO HONOR DR. JUST HANOVER, N.

Taylor, however, admitted that the gun was his. The others were dismissed, but he was held for an investigation.

Coleman was charged with assault and the bond was accepted when the court was informed that the assault was merely a slap. The case would have been over had not Judge Ralph Given looked up accidentally as the witnesses were filing out. Among the group was a man, swarthed in bandages about the head and neck with his shirt covered with blood. "Is that the man assaulted in this case?" demanded the judge. It was, and Joseph Smith was called back. "That doesn't look like a slap to me," said the judge, and he increased the bond to $500.

Washington Tribune DEATHBED WIDOW RETAINS LEGACY Mason DEA BUILDING IS REFINANCED AVERT SALE Hint That National Benefit May Reclaim Tottering Masonic Home The uncompleted Masonic Temple at Tenth and U streets, northwest, which was advertised Tuesday, April 23, for sale at public auction on Tuesday, May 7, under a second deed of trust, will not be sold. A few minutes before the auction sale announcement appeared in a local daily paper, the officers of the Masonic craft and local bankers and business men completed negotiations for refinancing the uncompleted temple. So not only has the building been saved from being sold a second time at public auction, but sufficient finance has or will soon be arranged for the completion of the mighty structure. National Hinted Much secrecy, however, surrounds the names of the bankers and business men who will assume the task of completing the temple. The Tribune has learned, however, from a reliable source that the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of 607 F street v will play a big part in the transaction. The officers of the insurance company were non-committal when asked about it. Grand Master of the Masons Al E. Dotson, when interviewed by a Tribune reporter, stated that the Girl Liked White Sailors Because Rosa Fifer could not explain to Judge Ralph Given what she was doing on the streets alone at 2 a.m., in the business section of the city, she was forced to pay a fine of $15 or serve a term in jail Monday. Police told the court that she was a familiar figure along H street, which is frequented by white soldiers and sailors. She was in an alley with a white man when arrested, they said.

He reported it happened while fighting in Q street, near Vermont avenue, northwest. NATIONAL IS TO REMAIN IN WASHINGT'N Local Firm Said To Have Turned Down Proposal to Move To Chicago The National Benefit Life Insurance Company will not move its home office, now located on F street here, to Chicago. A delegation of Chicago business men, politicians and realists who sought to induce the local concern to locate in the windy city returned to their homes last week disappointed. The object of their mission leaked out although R. H. Rutherford, president, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager, rigidly refused to commit themselves on the rumored negotiations. The delegation included such men as Jessie Binga, president of the Binga State Bank; Louis B. Anderson, Chicago alderman; and Louis Curtis Washington, prominent Chicago realtor. Flattering inducements are said to have been offered to the local firm to make the change, which would have added a new million dollar enterprise, to the already large Negro business life of Chicago. The removal would have taken more than 300 employees, now working in the home office here, to Chicago. Name Street for Negro EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Attorney Ernest G.

Irving Glover named Emory A. Bryant, Jr., 130 Scout place, northwest, to succeed The Hoover administration made its first appointment of a colored man to an important position, on Monday, when Second Assistant Postmaster General W. Irving Glover named Emory A. Bryant, Jr., 130 Seaton place, northwest, to succeed the late John D. Gainey as an assistant chief clerk at large, railway mail service. There is no political significance in the selection of Mr. Bryant. Mr. Glover stated that he was chosen for the vacancy because of his record as a railway mail clerk. Selected on Merit The Department wanted a man who would perform the work assigned him as satisfactorily as Mr. Gainey did, said Mr. Glover. Many observations were made of those persons who were eligible for the vacancy, he stated, and he had Mr. Bryant to come in and see him before his appointment. Mr. Glover emphasized that the selection of Mr. Bryant "was on the basis of merit and what we think ability to fill as near" as possible John Gainey's position."

Miss Burroughs Blames Whites for "Numbers" Evil TWO UNEMPLOYMENT HAS RUINED THE NEGRO HOME School Head Says Race Must Stop Writing Poetry And Go To Work The "Numbers" racket found another foe in Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president and founder of the National Training School for Girls, who flays the practice, but blames not the Negro players, but the white backers and unemployment situation for its perpetuation. In an article appearing in the current issue of the National Baptist Voice, official organ of the National Baptist Convention Miss Burroughs says: "More Negroes are out of work today than have been since that little Dutch vessel cast anchor at Jamestown in 1619. The causes are machines, race prejudice, incompetence and laziness. The results are boot-legging, number playing, loafing, killing, serving time, and the demoralization of home life. WHITES Get 95 Per cent "The Literary Digest of March 16th tries to tell in a very subtle way how the Negro is making his living. They carry along with the story three pictures of the vice-breeding, gambling and death-dealing situations. Instead of putting the pictures of poor, ignorant, deluded Negroes, who are bootlegging, giving rent parties, playing numbers and fiddling while Rome is burning, the 'Digest' should have carried the pictures of the rich white bankers and promoters who get ninety-nine per cent of the money out of the numbers and bootlegging business which the whites operate wholesale and retail, with and for Negroes. Blames Unemployment "If Negroes were not backed by the rich and lawless element of whites, the boot-legging and number business among them would go at a poor dying rate. Cut off the source of supply and boot-legging and number playing among Negroes would be reduced seventy-five per cent. "But why is boot-legging, number playing, killing, and time serving so prevalent among Negroes? It is because Negroes cannot find any work to do: Idleness breeds crime. Negroes are being turned out of every occupation in America. As we stated at the beginning machines, race prejudice, incompetence, and laziness are the chief SORE LEGS HEALED, Open Legs, Leru, Enlarged Veine, Goiter, Eczema healed while you work.

P Felt Worn-Out "I WAS very weak and had such a tired feeling, even when I had not been doing any work," says Miss St. Mary Powell, 253 Oaks St., Montgomery, Ala., whose picture is printed above. "I was sleepy and no matter how much I rested, or sat around I still felt worn-out. I had a bad taste in my mouth and I ached all the time "I felt like I needed a tonic, and as I had heard so much of Cardui and what it had done for others, I thought it would help me. "After my first bottle, I felt more like eating than I had before, and I didn't feel quite so tired. I kept on taking it, and I gained and felt so much better. It sure is a splendid tonic."

He declared that the Board of Trustees of the Acacia Grand Lodge are in full accord with his negotiations. He refused to state. however, the National Benefit was a party in the negotiations or not. May Be Home Office The building is ideally located as a home office for the National Benefit. At present their main offices are located on F street where they are very crowded for space. They have been forced to rent an annex for additional space. It is expected that complete details of the whole transaction will be given the public at an early date. There is much rejoicing among the Masonic fraternity that they have at last found a way out of their difficulties. The building was to be sold subject to a prior lien first need of trust of property "This is a machine and button age. Nearly two million jobs have been taken away from human beings and turned over to machines. Rent Parties "Put this down. The race cannot be supported on rent parties, boot-legging, number playing and goofer dust. Dealing in those things only demoralize and destroy the race physically, mentally and spiritually. The Negro might as well wake up and find something to do. Stop Writing Poetry "Negroes had better stop trying to write poetry and go to making ploys, improved tractors at that. We are up against a real proposition in this country now. "The only thing that Negro leaders are good for now is to help Negro laborers find their way back from boot-legging dens, number playing dives, and vice of all kinds into the road that leads back to full time employment and full dinner pails. Crook Partnerships "White bankers and rich promoters would not employ capable Negroes in their banks and stores, but they take Negro crooks into partnership with them in the boot-legging business. Lawless whites can co-opertae and operate with Negroes in the big business of liquor selling and number playing but law abiding, upstanding white citizens who desire to help the Negro race cannot employ them in their factories. "Alms but not opportunity is the ideal relationship when it comes to the best Negroes and the best whites.

New Program "Economy and efficiency," he said, "will be my slogan at Atlantic City, and if I cannot produce a better record this year than the year before I shall not ask the suffrage of the convention."

"My books are open for inspection to any financial member of the order," he said. Welcomes Investigation "I welcome an investigation, and not only an investigation of the finances of the order, but I welcome an investigation of the character and veracity of the grand exalted ruler. "My life will stand investigation from my birth in 1880 to this very day. I was christened J. Finley Wilson. I have always been known by that name. I have never been indicted or convicted on any criminal charge in any court, state or federal, nor have I ever served a day in prison. Can my accuser truthfully say as much?" All Officers Bonded If there were a shortage in grand lodge funds, said Mr. Wilson, the grand secretary and the grand treasurer would have to be involved. But he declared that he had taken double precaution to protect grand lodge funds this year. "For the first time in the history of the order," he said, "every dollar is secured by a surety bond and if all the banks where funds are deposited were to close tomorrow, the grand lodge would not lose a dollar."

The grand lodge has more money on hand now, she stated, than at the close of the Chicago convention. No Money Paid Out Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson denied charges of extravagance. He said he did not pay out any money to any grand lodge officers or committeemen or other workers at any grand lodge session.

BISHOP JONES BACKS HOOVER'S POLICY The current issue of the Star of Zion, official organ of the A.M.E.Zion Church, gives the views of Bishop E. D. W. Jones, presiding bishop of the Louisville district of the Kentucky Conference, as favoring the political action of President Herbert Hoover in building a two-party system in the south. Bishop Jones, who is a resident of Washington, says in part: "President Hoover has been criticized by some of the leaders of our race for endeavoring to build up a two-party system in the south, but I approve of his desire to have two real parties in the south, and I believe that it is a move in the right direction. We have derived very little in the past from the one-party system. We can lose nothing and may gain a great deal by the two-party system. When there are two real parties in the south making a bid for the Negro vote, it will not be as difficult for the southern Negro to register and vote and have his vote counted as at present."

A short circuit in the telephone switchboard started the fire, early in the morning. Val-Verdi awakened Peggy Rutledge, a vaudeville actress, first, and she placed a wet towel over her face and assisted him to rouse the rest. The girl was finally overcome by smoke and had to be carried out. Due to the quick work and heroism of these two, no lives were lost.

The last meeting in 1927 was held in Memphis, Tenn. The April issue of their magazine is replete with announcements of candidates for the various offices. President Roy O. Wilhoit is in the race for re-election. He will be opposed by Henry H. Ateman, Jr., of District No. 5. Editor Joseph B. Brown, of St. Louis, announces for re-election, and he will be opposed by Dr. Thomas Jefferson Flannagan, who advertises himself as nature evangelist, not colored poet, humanitarian veteran, newspaper man, and world known columnist." He also says: "If you desire your paper to have the touch of a finished newspaper man, seasoned in editorial writing, vote for Flannagan." Some paper has missed a valuable man. Or, a man of his ability should be editing a paper of his own. Emmett H.

April 20-That the most important social question agitating the minds of the American people today is that of prohibition, and that the teacher, committed to the moral instruction of the young, is a vital factor in bringing about the observance of the laws of the community, including the 18th Amendment, was the theme of an address delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University before six hundred teachers and administrative officers - of the second district of the Virginia State Teachers' Association. "We sometimes complain about the statesmen of the South," declared Dean Miller, "but that one great moral reform, the 18th Amendment, owes as much to the South as to any other section of the country. In certain situations, local prohibition was used to cope with the danger of race riots breaking out. I think these riots stopped just about the time prohibition came in. I am not claiming it was the sole cause for their cessation, but it was a big factor." Lynchman Cessation "We have also", he said, "a rapid decline in the record of lynching, synchronizing almost with the 18th Amendment. The Negro migration to the cities of the North meant a difficult time of adjustment which occurred with comparative lack of friction. This was due very largely to the absence of the saloon. The Negro has acquired more homes, especially in the cities since the passage of that amendment. He is now acquiring homes and property in a measure beyond anything before." ceed himself. His opponent is G. N. T. Gray, of the sixth district, who says: "If elected, I am prepared to move to Washington." The headquarters of the organization is located here at 1216 U street, northwest, where Mr. Jackson, the secretary, has his office. Mr. Wilhoit, the president, lives in St. Louis. From the number of announcements there will be an interesting election in Detroit May 30.

CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH TO RECEIVE 10% OF TWO DAYS BUSINESS FROM BIG DEPARTMENT STORE ```markdown ``` --- CHARITIES OF CHURCH TO BENEFIT Is the First Time Such An Offer Has Ever Been Made Here MANY PLAN TO BUY All Church Clubs Busy Stirring Up Interest Among People MINISTER JUBILANT Praises Mr. James and Mr. Bernstein for Such Liberal Offer Announcement was made this week of one of the most unusual charity offers ever made in Washington. Through its local manager Jules James and E. M. Bernstein. The Fair a big department store here, announced that on May 1st and 2nd, this big store will donate 10 per cent of all cash taken in on these days to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. A. Jernagin is pastor. The church, through its pastor, has accepted the offer of The Fair Company. To assist in making these two days really big ones so that the church's portion may be correspondingly large the whole church is busy arousing the members and friends to shop at The Fair on these two days. Before asking their friends to trade at The Fair on these two days, the members of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church first made sure that they would receive exceptional values for their money. A committee from the church visited The Fair and without a guide shopping throughout the store and then went to other stores to compare the various prices to make double sure that not only were prices lower, but that quality was also as high or higher. The offer from The Fair is made without any strings. Representatives from the church will be at The Fair on these two days to greet their members and their friends and to assist in anyway their shopping. Appeals have been made to all the people of Washington to delay their shopping until May 1st and 2nd, and then trade at The Fair. By doing this, the many worthy charities now being carried on by Mt. Carnel Church will be greatly helped. The church is now in the midst of a drive for funds, and the offer of The Fair to donate 10 percent of its cash sales on two of its busiest days was hailed with joy and rejoicing. It is the first time such an amazing offer has ever been made by a local business concern to assist a religion institution in carrying on its necessary charities and other religious work. Rev. W. A. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel, and one of the most outstanding Baptist ministers in America, made a complete investigation of The Fair's offer before recommending it to his members. He stated that he was overjoyed at the liberal attitude taken by this firm and its desire to assist in the religious work of the city. He has set the full machinery of Mt. Carmel Church to work to make the two days grand and glorious ones. Among the prominent members of the church who are assisting in promoting Mt. Carmel Days at the Fair are: Deacon Board—James Hames, C. C. Walker, Wm. Cooper. Trustee Board—John Washington, Daniel Brooks. Auxiliary Trustee Board—Mrs. Blanche B. Brooks, Mrs. Cornelia F.

BURKE Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks unanimously endowed Armond W. Scott, a past grand exalted ruler, for commissioner of education, an office now held by William C. Hueston, of Gary, Ind. The lodge decided to appoint a committee of twenty-five members to advise the other lodges of its action. Polled Large Vote Without having been a candidate, Mr. Scott was nominated for this office at the grand lodge in Chicago, Ill., last year, and he polled a large vote before withdrawing his name from the consideration of the convention. Stresses Economy Mr. Scott will wage his campaign for the office on his fitness, his unselfish work for the betterment of the order, and his deep interest in the messes of Elks. He believes that scholarships should be awarded to the sons and daughters of the men and women of the order who need this help most. He favors a reduction in the expenses incident to the operation of the office. Was Lodge Head Armond W. Scott is one of the leading members of the bar of the District of Columbia. He served three terms as grand exalted ruler of the Elks. Through his negotiations with the grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Col. Fred Harper, court proceedings to enjoin members of the colored organization from holding themselves out as Elks was dismissed and litigation between the colored and white Elks was stopped. He is a graduate of Biddle University, Charlotte, N.C., with the degree of bachelor of arts conferred on him in 1896, and of the law school of Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C., with the degree of bachelor of laws in 1898. Because of his attainments his alma mater has since conferred upon him the honorary degrees of master of arts and doctor of laws. The call of rally to the Mme. C. J. Walker agents and beauticians, together with the Benevolent Union, was responded to with a full house, on the evening of April 21, at the home of Mrs. Beatrice Woodland, 1306 U street, northwest. These practitioners of the fine arts of making and preserving beauty, met for instructions, so that they would acquire information on all the improved scientific methods that are being used for the development of the beauty business, so as to deliver the most efficient service. There are two features being stressed, namely, health and beauty as inseparable twins. Plain women are made lovely, and lovely women become loveliest, with the Walker method. While talking with Mrs. Ole, we learn of the high appreciation and esteem the Mme. C. J. Walker Co. holds Mrs. Beatrice Woodland, their deputized Washington instructress of advance Beauty Culture, and supply agent. She has been an enthusiastic and energetic member of the Walker family for a number of years, having enjoyed close contact with the late Mme. Walker. There are many such fine characters in the Washington local, and with such fine leadership as Mrs. Woodland, and spirit of co-operation of the agents, Mrs. Ole is anticipating a wonderful response in the campaign.

APRIL 26. 1929 NATIONAL BEN'FIT LEADS ALL RACE COMPANIES HERE Survey Shows Rapid Progress Being Made In Negro Insurance Field By J. A. G. LuValle A tabulation of the insurance companies owned and operated by colored people doing business in the District of Columbia, forms an interesting economic and commercial subject for much thought. There are five "old line, legal reserve" companies; three industrial companies, and a fraternal insurance society. The combined capital and surplus of the eight companies totals $1,953,245.99, which is not a bad showing, and would give an average of about $244,155.75 for each company. Assets The item which shows their real strength is the total assets, which total $12,612,579.50. This would average about $1,575,572.44. The features of each company are these: The National Benefit is the largest in assets with $6,109,866.09; the Southern Aid is the largest in surplus and capital with $484,499.02. The North Carolina Mutual has no capital stock. National Benefit The first question arising would be, "How are the assets of these companies distributed?" The National Benefit being the largest and a home company, comes first, the largest item in their assets is the one of stocks and bonds, $1,579.108.33. Not much of that is distributed among colored people. They have real estate listed at $1,125,884.05. They have been in the old line business for about ten years and have $75,552.984 of insurance in force. Their reserve amounts to $4,841,605.19. This company is yet doing an industrial business. The premium income was $3,502,955.63 in 1928. Cash on hand was $363,508.11. Mortgage loans on real estate is only $364.525.47. What proportion of this is placed on Negro property would be interesting. Since insurance companies can place their money in first mortgages on improved property, the Negro companies could expand their service if they would place more of their reserve in three and five year mortgages and not so much in stocks and bonds. One item in their liabilities stands out, and that one for deferred bond payments and bills Condensed and Consolidated Statement of the Condition of The National Benefit Life Insurance Co. as of December 31, 1928: Legal Claims on Policies $4,841,605.19 Commissions Pending and in Process of Settlement 75,522.20 Commissions, Fees, Rent and Expenses Paid and Accrued 225,928.20 Reserve for Taxes, Interest and Premiums Paid in Advance 91,453.28 Agents' Security Deposits 85,997.28 Retired Road Purchase Payments and Bills Payable 65,997.28 All Other Liabilities 81,905.88 Surplus to Policyholders 390,438.51 In fidelity to an ideal of service this Company came into being, more than thirty years ago. In that fidelity it has grown and prospered—amazingly. This growth and this prosperity, rooted in fidelity, are among the important assets of our advancing Negro commerce. In that sense they are your assets too and will, in even larger measure, be assets of your children. It is in that spirit, and from that viewpoint, we have here set down the figures which express the progress of this Company in 1923—the latest link in a chain stretching back to a past century. These figures express prosperity but in no narrow sense. They mean increased peace and security in hundreds of thousands of Negro homes. They mean better living conditions, better employment conditions, for more hundreds of thousands of Negro men and women. They mean more schooling and better schooling to pave the way to a brighter future for perhaps a million or more Negro boys and girls in whose hands lies the future of our Race. DIES; BANKRUPT SAVANNAH, Ga.—Lucius E. Williams, former president of the new defunct Wage Earners Bank, died at his home here Tuesday after a long illness. For five or six years he had been unable to attend to any work at all because of his impaired health. Since 1914 he had been ill and sometimes critical. It is the opinion of many of those who had been closely associated with the banker that the crash of his financial institution early this year hastened his death. payable for $570,579.30. When this item is cleared up they will have more than $2,000,000 in stocks and bonds against less than half a million in mortgages or real estate among the people who are making this the largest company in the world. Since the premiums come from colored people it would be an invaluable service to them to be able to borrow from their companies, to assist in the purchase of and improvement and sometimes the saving of their property. The National Benefit led in new business last year with $39,269,022. North Carolina Mutual Next in size, insurance in force, and premium income is the North Carolina Mutual Life. It has more than 200,000 policyholders, with assets of $3,319,583.15, and a reserve of $3,118,258.00. With $36,- 000,000 of insurance in force the reserve is a feature. This company has $657,840.16 worth of real estate and $1,159,352.19 in loans on real estate, and only $402,322 in stocks and bonds. This is in the reverse order of National Benefit. Their cash was $176,250.48. This company started as an industrial company in 1899, and entered the old line business about twelve years ago. - The Liberty Life The Liberty Life comes next in size with admitted assets of $831,967.43. Its premium income was $373,578; its reserve was $500,555, with cash of $33,692.91. This company has only $22,143.02 in bonds. It owns $301,787.72 in real estate and has mortgage loans amounting to $225,697.65. These two items take up about three-fourths of its assets. It has a capital and surplus of $270,014.82. This company is reported to have formed a merger with two others. The Victory Life The Victory Life comes next in size in the old line business. It has admitted assets of $570,461.68. It started business in 1924, and has $300,009.63 in reserve. Its capital and surplus amounts to $242,086.22. Cash amounts to $23,049.81. First mortgage loans are $212,139.33, with stocks and CHICAGO, Ill.—According to reports from the districts throughout the country as indicated by A. Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the porters are turning down the Pullman Company's Employee Plan Conference. In an interview with M. P. Webster, president and organizer of Chicago Division, it was determined that the porters in Chicago are refusing to vote for the delegates to the proposed Pullman Plan Conference. bonds of $189.325. The premium income was $355.347. The Supreme Life The Supreme Life and Casualty Company is also a young company. It has a capital and surplus of $112,261.11. Its admitted assets are $49,679.15. The premium income was $306,540.26. Its cash totaled $47,786.89. It added to its real estate holdings during the year and now has $138,000 worth of property. Mortgage loans were $49,910.43 and bonds amounted to $119,120. They decreased their bond holdings by $4,596.92 last year. The reserve totals $339,734.00. It is reported in a merger. The Southern Aid The Southern Aid Society of Virginia presents a very substantial statement. It ranks well up with the old line companies; in fact it is larger than the last three mentioned, yet it is of the industrial class. Its premium income last year was $777,225.66. Its assets of $900,333.75 are well distributed. Cash of $363,443.40 makes it rank next to the National Benefit in this item. Real estate owned, $385,530; mortgages, $137,238.68; stocks and bonds, $44,495.95. An outstanding feature of this company is its large surplus and capital of $484,499.02, which makes its stock of $150,000 the most valuable of any colored company in the United States. The Richmond Beneficial The Richmond Beneficial is among the oldest in the country, having started business in July, 1894. We notice it has a straight life department and its total premium income was $474,786.74. In its assets we find cash, $89,782.37; real estate owned, $132,229.42; stocks and bonds, $467,019.96. It has only $16,246.55 in mortgage loans. Its capital is $25,000. The Federal Life Another home company is the Federal Life, an industrial company which started business about five years ago. It has a capital and surplus of $29,405.25. The premium income was $21,153.63 last year. Its assets are listed at $30- MARKET PHARMACY INC. 7th and P Sts., N.W.—TWO STORES—7th and S Sts., N.W. Phone, North 2372 Decatur 1421 2 TWO-FOR-ONE 2 for SALE for 1 The Virgin Islands may never be self-supporting, says Representative William A. Ayres, Democrat, of Kansas, a member of the House appropriations committee. Mr. Ayres recently returned from an inspection of the Virgin Islands to ascertain why Congress annually has to appropriate thousands of dollars to maintain the islands—for example, $300,000 for the next fiscal year. The reason he finds is that there is no capital to build up the possible industries there, although the natives are willing to help if given opportunity. DISH BROKEN OVER HEAD John Ford reported some one struck him with a dish at his home, Sunday night, cutting his head, requiring four stitches to close it up. 153.29. It added $3,816.61 to surplus last year. The American Woodmen The American Woodmen is a fraternal insurance company and stands at the head of all the societies of its class among our people. Its statement shows assets of $2,008,485.27 distributed into real estate owned, $217,472.24; real estate mortgages, $1,340,021.04; bonds, $212,288.85. The income was $39,425.76, with cash of $67,-268.51. The real estate mortgages are distributed in Colorado, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Carolina, and Florida. This society is rendering a real service by placing its loans, principally on Negro homes. It has authorized real estate men who place the loans, most of them at 6 per cent. They have $35,000,000 of insurance in force. The insurance in force placed by these companies will total nearly $200,000,000. When we take into consideration that the old line legal reserve business is only about 15 years old with these companies, the volume of insurance in force is rather commendable. 'We feel safe in saying that insurance is the leading business among Negroes of America. May it increase and the officers of the various companies realize their big opportunity for service, real service by placing more of their money into just mortgages on homes for Negroes and only the amount in bonds necessary to meet the insurance commissioner's requirements.

Marching across the _sereen come antelopes, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippopotamuses, herds of elephants, leopards—all the den!- zens of the jungle, just as they are at home, And they are photo- graphed with a clarity and against such wildly beautiful backgrounds that the value of the film is won- derfully enhanced, Among the outstanding features of the picture are the charge of the infuriated rhino straight at Osa Johnson, who. is forced to shoot him to save her own life; the stam- pede of « herd of elephants, seek: ing safety from a jungle fire, the swarms of ugly crocodiles infesting: the rivers that the party was forced to cross; the gorgeous shots of running giraffes, of speeding an- telopes and zebras; perfectly mar- velouy flashlight photos of lions and leopards; and above ‘all. the Scene which shows fourteen lions, playing in a grassy glade like a lot of big: cats. Shoots Charging Lion One sees Osa Johnson shoot @ charging lion that falls within twenty fect of her. This young woman, who eyidentiy has no fear, calmly’ stalks some of the most dangerous. animals to get:them. in- and have the proper carriage of their bodies in general, bring them to the “Y” and have Miss Hall train them in aesthetic dancing. 2 soil leansion Not One Dull Moment In Great Jungle Film wl C J WALKER Sa ® ® ! ° Manufacturing Company ee The Opening of a Mammoth Spring and Sum- mer Drive of Education and Information in HEALTH and BEAUTY Business OUR HEADQUARTERS ARE WITH Mrs. BEATRICE WOODLAND 1306 U Street, N.W.

Cardozo Business High School, at M street, and New York’ avenue, northwest... He was recorded an ‘ovation by the overflowing audi- ence. ° He congratulated the Board of Education for opening a fully equipped business high school for colored students of the District of Columbia as the first of its kind in the country. Speaking on preparedness, for business he said: “The destiny of our people rest: ‘on preparedness—preparedness in every field of endeavor, Even now the importance of the trained ming and the trained hand cannot be overestimated and the time is nat far distant when the better posi- tions, of both brain and brawn, will he held by thone test tirenaben »« M, 0, BOUSFIELD to hold them. This work you are dedicating here tonight is but a recognition of the signs of the times and is launched with a fine proram of service to our people and to human . progress.” Must Give Dollar for Dollar At this point he left hts pre- pared speech and togk issue with the principle of “protective tariff” advocated by a former speaker to patronize colored business men even if they charge a little more for their wares. “The black man in business,” said the Congressman, “must give dol- Jar for dollar in valua.if he expecta to succeed in business. Men are demanding value received, whether in commodities or in labor,” He urged that we form a trad ing bloc and “plan to trade with those who employ race boys and girls, T believe in® reciprocity, However, we never will amount to very much until we open aver Ko to employ our own boya and gis.” He expressed his belief in the youth of the race and urged the students to make the: best of thiw. opportunity.” The dedicatory address waa mada hy W. H. ©. Brown, prosident of the Industrial, Savings Bank, wha spoke of a lack of trained adminia- trators for Neg business, and the importance of developing man- agerial ability through a business high school, “We have given more attention to science and scholar ship than we have to other lines," said Mr, Brown, Need Race Patronage “The white business man has hundreds of years of experience behind him and we must compete with this experience.

BOLsEY MUSIC DRAMA 3 SHOWS BOOKED FOR BROADWAY 3 SHOWS BOOKED FOR BROADWAY "Messing Around," "Darktown Affair," and "Mr. George" Shaping Up For White Way Edward A. Blatt has finally found a new home for his play, "Harlem," which is being evicted from the Apollo Theatre to make room for a motion picture that had a contract for the theatre before this play opened. "Harlem" is moving to the Times Square Theatre, which is next door. The shift will be made April 29. Louis Isquith's "Messin' Around" began messing around at the Hudson Theatre, Monday, after opening a week ago in Baltimore at the Embassy and Garland Anderson's "Appearances," that was scheduled to close a fortnight ago, had taken on new life, by finding a new angel, and has moved to the Mansfield. "Darktown Affairs," another musical comedy, whose working name was "De Social Function," starring Garland Howard, Mae Brown and Speedy Smith, opened Monday at Werba's Brooklyn, and will come to Broadway after three weeks through the subway circuit. Noble Sissle and Maceo Pinkard's "Mr. George," which opened at the Lafayette Theatre last Monday, has gone back into rehearsal, after some re-casting and work on the book, it will open in one of the Long Island Theatre before making a try for the white way.

Mr. Reid says: "I certainly feel that a great injustice has been done to the Howard Theatrical performers of which Mr. Shelton Brooks was master of ceremonies and the people who entertained them in their homes by the circulation of ugly rumors involving both appearing in certain papers. "Having lived in Hollywood for many months and having come into daily contact with the activities of the moving picture and theatrical industry, I feel that the theatrical profession, at this time, is the only medium which gives the Negro an opportunity to show his progress in culture before the general public. The people of Washington should realize that the Negro is receiving more money in the theatrical profession and that his opportunities are greater in this field than in any other. With the exception of Henry O. Tanner, the painter, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the educator; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet; Col. Charles Young, the soldier, and S. Coleridge Taylor, the composer, few Negroes have reached prominence in these professions. There may be men of great genius in other professions but their worth and activities are only known within the bounds of the race, while artists in the theatrical profession such as Aida Overton Walker, Black Pattle, George Walker, Bob Cole, Billy Kersands, Florence Mills, Rosamond Johnson, Paul Robeson, Roland Hayes, Aida Ward, George Dewey Washington, Ethel Waters, Andrew Sissle, Eubie Blake, Charles Gilpin S. H. Dudley, the team of Layton and Johnston, "Bojangles" Robinson, Irvin Miller, James Lowe, and Stepin Fechit not only have amassed great fortunes but were and are well known, beloved and entertained by people who were at the head of great governments, both at home and abroad. George Walker not only was entertained by King Edward of England, but was presented with a diamond-studded cane. Only three weeks ago, Paul Robeson was honored by the English Parliament. Such recognition is received by few individuals in any profession. "From the latter part of 1928 up to the present $900,000 was paid out by the moving picture industry of California for Negro talent. In the picture "Hearts in Dixie," which was made by Fox studios, Clarence Muse received a salary of $1,000 a week and Stepin Fechit, $500. Even those who played juvenile parts in this picture received $50 a week. Thus, the salaries of all the Negro players in this one production ranged from $50 to $1,000 a week. In "Hallelujah," a picture soon to be released by M.G.M. studios featuring Dannie Haines, William Fontaine and Nina Mae Kenney, the salaries range from $50 to $350 a week. This particular picture has a colored assistant director, Harold Johnson, better known as "Slickum." As this is a pioneer all-Negro talking production, the salaries are small. Stepin Fechit just signed a six months contract for $500 a week for another picture depicting the story of his life from early childhood, while George Dewey Washington, just having completed a contract with Keith-Orpheum Circuit for $500 a week and a Vitaphone production which neeted him $1,000 left on the 15th of April for a six weeks engagement in London with a salary of $1,000 a week. Eubie Blake and Broadway Jones are to make two vitaphone pictures for Warner Brothers at a salary of $500 a week each.

TRIBUNE LEAUGE SET FOR OPENING Five Sections Represented In Tribune League Which Starts Sunday The opening games of the Washington Tribune baseball league will be staged, Sunday, May 5th, on diamonds throughout Washington and viinity. The inaugural battles this Sunday will usher in the third season of the Tribune circuit. The 1928 season was a most successful one, with teams from every in-town and out-of-town community represented in the League. Represented in the League are Anacostia, Arlington, Va., Brookland, Colesville, and every section of Washington. The League will be divided into two classes: Class A and Class B. The first named division was headed by the Anacostia A.C., of Anacostia, D.C., and the latter class title went to the Hillsdales of Brookland, D.C. There is still the final game to be played for the district championship. The League was organized for and is sponsored solely by the Washington Tribune newspaper. Games—Sunday, May 5th Class "A" Potomac Giants vs. Hawks and Arlington A.C. (double header), Diamond No. 8, Monument grounds. Class "B" Togans vs. Columbia Cubs at Ivy City.

Watkins, W. Gray, P. White, E. Johnson, J. Haywood, O. Green, B. Black, A. Butler, R. Peck, W. Contee, F. Lynn, J. Levi, S. Henderson S. Corbin, J. Slater, A. Curtis. New men—L. Meredith R. Hood, R.

Togans To Meet Hillsdales The manager of the Togans, Webb Lee, has arranged to meet the Hillsdales, on Sunday evening, April 28, at 1 o'clock, in a practice game. The game will be played on the Togans' diamond at Ivy City. Last Sunday the Togans met the Pirates in a four-inning game. The score in the fourth inning was 1-0, in favor of the Pirates when the rain ended a very exciting game. ATTENDS DELAWARE MEET The Miner Normal school was represented at the annual meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of Delaware, held at Dover State College, Dover, Del., Saturday, April 20, by the acting director of practice, Mr. J. I. Minor. Mr. Minor conducted a conference and demonstration in geography before the association. Representative Oscar DePriest will formally open the sandlot baseball season next Monday afternoon when he will toss out the first ball in the opening game of the Colored Department League. Music by the Dunbar-Armstrong cadet band will be an added attraction for the occasion. The game is called for 5 o'clock on Diamond No. 8, Monument grounds. Through a queer coincidence, the fast-traveling Government Printing Office nine, winners of last year's championship, will meet the revamped Agriculture team, last year's runners up, in the first fracas of the season. Jimmie Hughes, new manager of the G. P. O. nine, predicts an easy victory for his veterans, while Manager William H. Fitzhugh, of the "Aggies," is equally as positive that his team will swamp its opponents. Cardozo Baseballers Show Great Promise By Harry Parker The Cardozo Business High School has the material for a promising and outstanding baseball machine. Although the business school has not been able to build a team in previous years, this being the first year of Cardozo's history, the baseball hopefuls should place Cardozo highly in scholastic high school circles. Coach Washington has been out with his proteges several days, with the hope of ironing out the wrinkles before the season opens. With a good pitching staff Cardozo diamonders should be exceedingly formidable. With such a finger as Robert Rush on the squad the mound corps will at least have a nucleus. The work of Rush in the box is well known. He pitched for Dunbarn last season, showing good form. Rush, by the way, is a lefthander and his southpaw hurling should be a mystery to opposing batters. In the infield will be seen capable performers in Carter, Hood, who is acting captain, and Johnson, a post-graduate, who is expected to hold down the hot corner in non-championship tilts; Cunningham, Carrick and Hellman. Theses boys and others should give Coach Washington no worry as to infield guardians. Carter, Hood, Carrick and Johnson are all seasoned performers. Hood, former Shaw infeld flash, is especially looked for to perform in great style. With these hopefuls and several others Cardozo will give the other high school rivals no easy fight for the baseball crown. Union Takes 12-4 Drubbing From Virginia State PETERSBURG. Va.—Smarting under the setback handed her track team, State's ball tossers made a veritable track meet of the second ball game with Union, romping to a 12-4 victory. Both teams faced good pitching as the earned runs, but five for State and one for Union would show, but the defenses seemed to crack under the intense pressure of the howling of the rival groups and at times the game was rather loosely played. However, in a State-Union game anything is liable to happen, and the team ready to take advantage of the break generally wins. It was all State this afternoon. Powell led the hitting array with three doubles and was robbed of two more by specacular catches by Castor. Johnson pitching his first game for State allowed only three hits in the five innings he worked. Brown, not to be outdone, gave nary a hit to the Unionites in the remaining four innings. Coleman went the distance for Union, pitch-a fairly good game. This victory gives State the series with Union. WANT TO COMPLETE SERIES The Piedmonts, last year's cup winners of Class B, who are now known as the Hawks, would like to know when the Anacostia A.C. wants to play that deciding game of the three-game series which was stopped last year on account of the cold weather, which was to decide the city championship of the Tribune League of 1928. Each team had won one game and ceased hostilities with the understanding that the deciding game would be played in the spring of 1929. Detroit Agents Visited While in Detroit, Mich., last week our circulation manager visited the Tribune's representatives in that city, Messrs. Wilson and Thomas, who conduct a flourishing business at 4167 McGraw street, under the name of the Pals Shop. These enterprising young men have established a model confectionery and soft drink parlor, selling in addition light lunches, magazines, and race newspapers from the leading cities of the country. Washingtonians visiting Detroit may obtain their home paper at the Pals Shop. and let a cold drizzle run down your back. Then, too, never saw a short stop who could scoop up a stream.

Of course you can't tell nothing yet, because many changes can take place during the winter lay-off.

They expect to run two teams this season. Any player interested is requested to report to the acting manager, A. Johnson. Sunday morning, April 28, on the Monument grounds, diamond No. 8, at 10 o'clock sharp, or get in touch with Mr. E. Garnet, the president of the association at 1029 Euclid street, northwest, at your earliest convenience. Union Takes Track Honors From State PETERSBURG, Va.—In a dual track meet briim full of rivalry, some fine performances and good competition Virginia State was completely smothered by the cindermen of Virginia Union, 63-34. Union garnered six of the eleven first places but her ability to land second place really won for her the meet. Ten of the eleven second places went to the Richmond aggregation. Virginia State showed the way in the field events, winning four of the five with Clapp being the leading field event man. His heave of the discus some 122 feet 5 inches was especially noteworthy. Booker, of Union, was high point man with three firsts. He turned in the remarkable time of 10 seconds for the century and 23 flat for the 220. Coach Ray, of the State cindermen, was not crestfallen in the least by the defeat and promises that his men will give a good account of themselves in the meets to come. BALL PLAYERS' WIVES HURT LOS ANGLES, Cal.—Five people four of them wives of ball players, were hurt in an auto accident in Wilmington, Cal., when leaving the boat which was going to Honolulu, Hawaii. The injured are Mrs. O'Neal Pullen, fractured leg and bruise; Mrs. George Carr, fractured shoulder and bruise; Mrs. Connie Day internally injured and bruised. She was driving the car at the time of the accident. The other was Mrs. Billy Hendrisks, hurt internally. They had been to see their husbands off to Honolulu and were struck breadside. Mrs. Day had the presence of mind to turn the car the same direction and saved all from being killed. The man that hit them was hurt about the head and a few cuts.

"All Over Town" PEOPLES DRUGSTORE —The Better to Serve You --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1929 SHAWDOWNEDBY ARMSTRONG, 8-4 Armstrong's reply to the 8-4 drubbing that Coach Rucker's hustling nine gave them was a squaring of accounts with an 8-5 victory over the Seventh street aggregation. The first Shaw hurler lacked control and had to be relieved by Paulin before the latter got thoroughly warmed up. The second inning alone was enough for victory for the Techites. In this inning, the battery mates, Jackson and Campbell led off with hits, 'Smooth' Scott whiffed, but Tate doubled. Dale walked, Henderson and Hamilton singled, but Fountain ended the Shaw agony by fanning. Capt. Campbell was Coach Adam's choice, and the hurler lived up to expectations. The crumbling of his support in places was responsible for all of the runs scored, as he kept the hits fairly well scattered. The second was also Shaw's big inning. Richards hit only to be forced by Andrick. Wilson hit, and when Jackson threw out in left to catch Andrick stealing third Hamilton threw over the backstop and both runners counted. Dale's high throw on Long and Roger's double sent in another run. Paulin and Campbell then staged a beautiful pitching duel in the later innings, though a lucky bounder gave Johnson a homer. Dale saved trouble in the third with three Shawmen on the sacks. Paulin sent a pop to short left close to the foul line. The third sacker snared the ball over his shoulder while in motion. Other features were the fielding of Fountain and Henderson and the "inside" playing of Scott for Armstrong and the work afield of Quigly and Cook for Shaw. HARRY WILLS HONORED ON FOREIGN FIELD NEW YORK—Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wills recently returned from a three months' trip to South and Central America. While at Demerara, British Guinana, was presented with a stick pin made from a gold nugget taken from the mines, and Mrs. Wills was given a gold broach studded with diamonds. The presentation speech was made by the mayer, in the town hall which was packed to the doors by a cheering throng. The well-known fighter and his wife were accorded an ovation at every town. Hillsdale To Clash With Sandy Springs All-Stars The Hillsdale A. C., one of the runners-up of the Tribune League last season, will clash with the fast stepping Maryland Sandy Spring All-Star baseball team. The game will take place in Sandy Springs, Md., Sunday evening, May 5, at 2 o'clock. As the Maryland boys have several victories to their credit and the Hillsdales are considered one of the best in the Tribune League, a good game is expected. St. Paul, Hampton In Heavy Hitting Game LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—Saint Paul took a wierd game from Hampton, 23-15. The Lawrenceville boys got to the Hampton pitcher for eleven runs in the third inning. Hampton tallied three times in the first, but the lead was wiped out when the St. Paul team got five in their half. The game went along dryly after St. Paul had scored its twentieth run. In the seventh, Hampton began to find Evans, who had been standing them on their heads, striking out seven, and the Seasiders scored three times. The support was rotten in the eighth, and Hampton scored six more. Watson looked good as a relief pitcher for St. Paul. Hampton scored two more in the ninth, thanks to some more loose fielding. Evans led in the hitting with a home run, a triple and a single. Hampton used three pitcher, but they all looked a little bad. Special Offering!

Those who take leading parts in these pictures were discovered by what is known in the moving picture industry as character scouts who found their subjects in cabarets and on the legitimate stage. The Lafayette players have been playing in Los Angeles for 18 months at a theatre which is practically supported by the best known white screen and stage stars. I can truthfully say that there is less prejudice among the white and colored artists in the theatrical profession than in any other profession. One is regarded and admired only for his ability. Personally I wish dramatic art, voice culture and terpsichorean art played a more important part in the present day public school curriculum. "I wish to express my regrets for the unpleasant and unjust gossip which has been broadcast by a few narrow-minded individuals here in Washington relative to the performers who are leaving the Howard Theatre. May I suggest that we learn a little more about the value of the Negro to his race in the theatrical profession and try to appreciate his real worth to the public at large. I feel that the Negro, as a whole, in the theatrical profession not only is making a name for himself of which generations to come may be proud, but he is a great credit to the present generation. We should extol rather than condemn for just as the Negro has been forced to seek business other than restaurants, barber shops, hootblack parlors, pool rooms and beauty shops to meet the demands of the time, he is being forced to go into professions other than medical, dental, legal and pedagogical. Surely there is no mistake about it, the theatrical profession certainly is giving the Negro a real chance to show his worth and make good. "In closing, I think Mr. Shelton Brooks should be commended highly for his clean, interesting and clever productions which brought laughter and pleasure to the hearts of those who patronized the Howard Theatre. In my judgment, he represents the highest type of Negro in this age. Also, I wish to congratulate those who entertained him and his co-workers in their homes during the stay in Washington." James Wise, 17, had the ligaments of both wrists torn in a physical culture class at Dunbar High School, and was treated by Dr. J. G.

Roy, Jr., when he drew his bat-talion, the 3rd, from Dumbar High School, before the Brigade officers and members of the Board of Education to be decorated as the winning battalion in the competitive drill at Howard University Stadium, Tuesday. The Ninth Brigade made up from the Armstrong, Dunbar, and Cardozo High Schools, and Commanded by Col. Wm. A. Anderson, held its first competitive battalion drill Tuesday. The third battalion, composed of Dunbar students, was the last of the four battalions on the field. A loving cup was presented Maj. Roy by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, senior member of the Board of Education. This was a formal guard mount competition. There were two battalions from Armstrong and two from Dunbar, one of which included a company from Cardozo Business High. The judges of the award were Captain Sylvester Epps and Lieut. Sylvester Blackwell, of the District National Guard, with Captain Clinton C. Burke and Capt. Nolan Attkinson, of Howard University R.O.T.C. unit as aids. While waiting for the decision of the judges, Col. Anderson drew up the squads from each battalion who were excellent in drill, to receive awards at the hands of Mrs. W. C. McNeill, of the Board of Education. The principals of the high school, Walter L. Smith, of Dunbar; G. David Houston, of Armstrong, and Robert N. Mattingly of the Cardozo Business High, pinned the blue ribbons on the individual members of the squad representing their schools. Suspend Southern College PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas—At a special meeting of the Southwest Athletic conference, held at Prairie View College, March 28, Paul Quinn College was suspended for a period of three years and fined $50. This action was the result of Paul Quinn's failure to carry out her conference baseball schedule for 1929. A financial deficit and lack of material or students interested in participating on a baseball team are two of the principal reasons given by President Dean Mohr for Paul Quinn's inability to carry out its schedule. BUSINESS IS GOOD! HURT AT DUNBAR GRIDIROM TRACK "The Famous Mrs. Fair," Dramatic Guild Offering The Armstrong Community Center will present the Dramatic Guild of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in a four-act comedy, "The Famous Mrs. Fair," in the auditorium of the Armstrong High School, on Saturday evening, May 4. "The Famous Mrs. Fair" is an absorbing comedy of modern family life written by James Forbes. The story concerns itself with a very "strenuous" lady who returns from overseas to lecture and becomes very popular or "notorious" as Angy Brice puts it. Consequently she neglects her daughter, who, in her quest for pleasure and amusement, gets in the "wrong set," socially speaking, and is just saved in time from disaster. Bernice Brown is to play the title role, and Joseph Walker, that of the neglected husband, Jeffry Fair. Inez Rivers will play the role of Sylvia, the neglected but over-indulged daughter, who nearly meets disaster following the suggestion of Gillette, the villian, portrayed by Thomas Bowie. Alan Fair, the son, is to be played by Samuel Popel. Peggy, Alan's sweetheart, will be taken by Elise Palmer. Angy Brice, the playmate of Jeffry Fair while Mrs. Fair is abroad, will be played by Theresa Alexander. There are several other interesting characters who add humor to many trying situations. Marguerite E. Thomas is directing the production.

AN EVENING OF PLEASURE; AN ATMOSPHERE OF THE ORIENT Tuesday, May 7 Tuesday, May 14 Tuesday, May 21 A NEW FREE COLLEGE Washington was advanced another notch in Education, last week, when the Board of Education ordered the establishing of two teachers' colleges to supplant the two normal schools, in keeping with an act of the 70th Congress creating these schools. A free college will mean much to the colored citizens of the District of Columbia. It will give Washington the only free college for Negroes in the United States. Tuition alone in New York City is $300 per annum. Howard will raise its tuition to $150, beginning next October. Four years at $150 equals $600 for tuition alone. A free college may draw more young men to prepare for principals. Removing of preferential appointments eliminates some of the competition, which may prove beneficial. Educators consulted are of one opinion, that it is the best thing that could have happened for the District. Many poor boys and girls who could not raise their tuition of $150 or more can work their way through college now. It brings education to the humble home, the poor boy, the poor girl, and makes it possible even for the man and the woman who have been otherwise deprived. With this college one will not have to go on continuously for four years, but may take a longer period, since the required credits are made. This college will raise the standard of the teachers for the District schools and will prepare teachers for other schools in the States. It will take a rank, which will place it with the leaders of the country. A graduate from this college will rank among the best prepared teachers in the country. All hail the new teachers' college with appreciative enthusiasm. RACE PATRONAGE vs. VALUE RECEIVED The advanced thinkers of the race are getting away from the old idea that we should patronize a Negro in business because he is a Negro, regardless of the value he gives for the dollar. However, there are some who hold to that idea yet and even enter business with the hope of getting Negro patronage on the race issue as their chief stock in trade. Congressman DePriest struck the new chord, Thursday night, in his address at the dedication of the Cardozo Business High School when he said: "The black man in business must give dollar for dollar in value, if he expects to succeed." The "New Negro" is reading, he is studying economics, he is learning to compare prices and values, and he has decided that there is no need for him to patronize a "profiteering" Negro, simply because he is a Negro. We learned of "profiteering" during the recent war and have decided it is not necessary for us to pay him one cent to twenty-five cents more for the same article because it is a store of a Negro. We are learning the meaning of values and are demanding value received. The modern progressive Negro merchant endeavors to meet competition in values and in service. There is little use for a Negro to enter the commercial field unless he is able to meet the keen competition of the growing chain store idea. This means that Negro business of the future must be more of corporations and co-operative than individualistic, as now obtains. The hour for the individual Negro business has struck. The sooner we realize this and merge, incorporate, combine and co-operate, the better will it be for our progress and for our business health. The one-man business is on the toboggan. Values are demanded. Co-operate and meet the demand. ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL Frankly I'm trembling in my boots. I am living in constant fear of losing my job most any moment now, and losing one's job is hardly a pleasant anticipation in a town where vacancies occur only through death. I hasten to explain that this apprehension is not occasioned by any differences with my boss. Perhaps I do not say "yes" to his every whim and fancy, in that respect newspaper work is different from the school system. Perhaps we do get on each other's nerves a bit, but that is to be expected more or less. It is, however, not from this score that I suffer qualms and mental unrest. It is the fact that several months ago I attended a party where there were several prominent school teachers, and I am afraid it will leak out and cause my undoing. Judging from the precedent set by local theatres such an act is a most horrible thing. Three young actors were given the air at the Howard Theatre recently following the publication that they were on more than speaking terms with the fair guardians of our childhood and from good authority I learn that the honorable school authorities are turning heaven and hades inside out to learn the identity of the ladies in the case. Dire may be the consequences if they should find them out. That's why I am trembling. Suppose some old meanie, given to tale hearing should start the rumor that I had been seen walking down U street with a school teacher. By the time it passed from lip to lip and finally reached my boss, he would probably hear that I had carried on an open flirtation in every class-room and had contaminated the entire school system. To keep from having indignant parent-teachers' associations rise up in arms and boycott the paper, he, actuated by self-preservation, would have to give me a slip, matters not how brokenhearted he might be. I say brokenhearted because, judging from the announcement of Rufus G. Byars of the Howard Theatre, he almost waded through tears up to his eyebrows when he gave the actors their good-bye notices. I always did wonder why bosses are always so dreadfully sorry to fire somebody when they had been thinking it over for months. Of course the real issue involved does not appear on the surface. The purity of Washington society must be preserved. To have actors like Shelton Brooks, who has done little more than entertain a few crown heads of Europe, star on Broadway, and write a song hit or two, associate with our own blue-blooded daughters who would die from surprise if an original idea shot through their shingled heads, is a breach of social code, a violation of ageold traditions, and something not to be tolerated for a moment. To break through the social lines in the nation's Capital is quite a serious offense, but you can kick up all the mischief you want in your own set. In fact, one of the most outstanding social accomplishments here is to be able to share your wife or husband with your friends and take theirs in return. To do less than this means you are still a mere nobody. According to local customs, if you drop in home to change your clothes about 2 a.m., and find your best friend walking around in your pajamas, you are supposed to laugh it off with "Hello, Bill, how's everything? Just left your old lady; she sent love and said don't hurry home, but if you have any message send it back by me." When you can do this sort of thing you are cultured. Of course, you could only expect such actions among the intelligentsia, the high hatters, and what have you. In the lower strata of society they act quite differently; for instance at Seventh and T, to look at another fellow's wife insures two black eyes, a couple of broken ribs and a hospital bill, and to be caught under compromising conditions will give your relatives a chance to fight over your estate. But of course that is a low-brow reaction to violations of the marital vows. Since actors have been shipped out of town for being too active socially, I suggest the following muchly needed reforms if we are to enforce mortality and bring the Capital City unto salvation: All ministers caught holding the hands of their choir singers more than five minutes will be unfrocked and driven out of town. All doctors who are caught calling on female patients during their husbands' absence, regardless of how urgent the case, shall be tarred and feathered and carried to the District line on a greased pole. Dentists who have ladies visit their offices unaccompanied by their husbands will have their offices padlocked. Male instructors caught attending meetings with females will be looked upon as undesirable citizens and barred from all social activities. They will either leave town or die from lonesomeness. These are drastic measures, but the purity of our womanhood must be maintained if we have to bury every man to do it. every man to do it.

OSCAR DEPRIEST REARED ON A FARM RALPH MATTHEWS Look at the cartoon above, study it. Therein lies an INSPIRATION to modern Negro youth. Mr. DePriest is not a handsome man, but his face is interesting. His lips are positive, his forehead is high, a sign of intelligence; his eyes are penetrating. HE IS A FORCEFUL CHARACTER; but these qualifications are not the most interesting things about him. Study the illustration at the right. They represent three distinct steps in the life of a great man. They are by no means original steps. MEN WHO HAVE REACHED THE HEIGHTS throughout the ages have taken a similar course. Lincoln, Washington, and Douglass started where he started, IN A CABIN, and he is merely adding force to what they have already proven that it matters not where a man begins, but where is he going? HOW HIGH DOES HE AIM? Does he reach the top? Elbert Hubbard says, "The world bestows its big pr-izes, both in money and in honors, for but one thing—and that is INITIATIVE. It took INITIATIVE for a boy born of slave parents in a ramshackle cabin to reach the place where he would be singled out as a REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MASSES. As a youth he WORKED hard—young men who hang around idle all day should take notice. Mr. DePriest may or may not be the embodiment of all the virtures. MEN WHO REALLY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING SELDOM ARE. You may or may not like him personally, but you cannot help but respect him and wish him success—his CAREER COMMANDS that of you. Mr. DePriest holds a position different from that of any other Congressman. White men represent the handful of voters in their respective district who elected them. NEGROES IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE NATION LOOK TO MR. DePRIEST as their representative. To have the interests of fifteen million mortals on one's shoulders is no easy task, but responsibilities gravitate to shoulders strong enough to carry them—MAY GOD GIVE HIM STRENGTH.

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. HOW I SPENT MY EASTER AT PALMER On Thursday before Easter, at Palmer, some of the students went home for Easter and some stayed here; but those who went home missed a nice Easter program, and the students who stayed at Palmer went to church and heard about Christ when He arose, and we had some nice music. On Monday we had a ball game between Gibsonville and Palmer. We beat them, 12-8, and then the club to which I belong gave a party for a little visitor, Dorothy Clark. We had a very nice time. We went egg hunting and we found them all and each of us had an egg apiece, and sent some to Miss C. H. Brown, the founder of Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N.C. Joseph Young (13). NATURE'S CIRCUS Mr. Goldsmith came to our school to speak, recently. His subject was "Nature's Circus." His story ran something like this: "When I was a boy, my friends and I decided to give a circus. The circus was to come off in my backyard. Alice, one of my friends, was very thin. We put her in an empty box as a a "human giraffe." I was also put in a box with "What Is It?" as my sign. We had a strong man, which we chose because he was the weakest boy in our block. He got some feathers with which we made him look strong. I was to do a stunt. I was to stand on my head, which I did with the aid of two boys holding my feet. Then I climbed on the strong man's shoulders and the further I climbed the further the strong man sank, until I was where I started, on the ground. Then the strong man's mother saw mysterious feathers floating from her son's body, and on looking she found her best feather pillows missing. In the meantime Alice's mother had found out that Alice was posted up as a a "human giraffe," and my mother, I was posted up as a a "What Is It?" What happened in our homes that night I need not tell. But I missed the best part of the show. You ask me why? I will tell you. "I missed nature's show. The sun is one of the greatest natural health builders—it contains the ultra violet ray. These rays are very, very helpful to all people.

The ultra violet rays help us in many ways. Babies need the ultra violet rays because it helps them to grow. "After the sun has set, the grass has taken up the ultra violet rays. The cows eat the grass and the rays mix with the milk the cow yields, hence that is the reason why we should drink milk. "Do not fail to notice that you are looking at the world's greatest show, right before your eyes, admission fee, for everybody. Its tent is the sky and its tent poles are the trees." With this conclusion Mr. Goldsmith withdrew, and I think that after reading this you will agree with Mr. Goldsmith as I do. Thanks to "Happy", as he told us to call him, we realize that the greatest show is going on right before our eyes, and we are the actors as we grow strong from drinking and eating the right things at the right time. All of this is in nature's circus. Norma Murray (11) 1627 S St., N.W. THE CRACKLING FIRE How the campfire did crackle! The boys heaped up dead pine boughs until the flames leaped high in the air. The odor was as sweet as a Christmas tree, for there was a good deal of fir with the white pine. Sometimes there was a hissing noise, as if some water were poured on the fire. Pine is full of oil and resin, which makes the wood burn well and gives out the spicy odor. Spaces fill the wood and the heat expands the air with which they are filled. This breaks the cell walls of the wood and makes a popping sound when they break down. Moisture as well as oil oozes out and hisses as it dries. Mary-Lee VanHook BOOK REVIEWS Here is a book I have read. "Plum Bun," by Jessie Fauset, one of our race's best writers, deals with the Negro who "passes" Angela Murray, a girl with fair skin and blue eyes, believes that the handicaps put on her by her Negro blood are things from which she is justified in trying to escape. She believes that freedom from segregation and prejudice are more important than family and racialities. Putting her theory to the test, she steps over the line and becomes "white". The story of what she finds on the other side, the happiness that she seeks in vain, the friends she fails to hold, and her final realization that there are greater things in life than personal ambition; all of these go to make a book that every Negro should read—one that no one interested in the question of color will want to miss. I think that every Tribune would enjoy this story. Miss Fauset was at one time a teacher in one of our Washington public schools. She is now a resident of New York City. Joyce M.

Mr. Heyward tells the story of Mamba, an old colored woman of Charleston, and her daughter, Hagar. He tells of their struggle, their sacrifices, and their long, and at times, bitter fight for Lissa, who is Hagar's daughter. They want her to have a chance in life. They want her to have what they have not had. The author tells of their struggles in a manner that is touching. The story is worth reading, by both girls and boys. NEGRO INDEPENDENCE This is our flag! This is our flag! For children, don't you know The black men said, "We'll fight for it, And thus will make it so?" The Black Men fought, Oh, how they fought, And dying, this they cried, "The colored child has the country "The colored child has the country now, For we bought it with our blood. But, rather hold his head up high In honor of his father's name. So, little colored children, Salute the red, the white, the blue; For though it's claimed by a fairer race, You know we own it too.
