LYLES TO RETIRE Alexandria Teacher Retires After 45 Years ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Parker Gray School loses one of its outstanding teachers, in Mr. Rosier D. Lyles, who completes his forty-fifth year as teacher in the public schools of the city of Alexandria, and retires at the end of this term. During his forty-five years of service to this city and to his people, Mr. Lyles has been absent from school for all purposes less than ten days, and only three days for sickness. Mr. Lyles' thoroughness, frankness, strictness, and neatness have made their lasting impressions on both fathers and sons. Mr. Lyles, after his many years of valuable service, is still an active, energetic, and co-operative teacher, but he feels that he has given his best and wishes to retire from active teaching.

Physician Claims $10,000 Damages for Story Published Last Fall Damages in the sum of $10,000 were claimed in a suit filed in the District Supreme Court, Monday, by Dr. Charles A. Tignor, a physician, 473 Florida avenue, northwest, against the Evening Star Newspaper Company. He declared that by reason of the publication of an article in its paper of October 6, 1928, he was injured in his profession and professional standing, his name and reputation were impaired, and he has endured great mental suffering and distress, apprehension and humiliation, and has been brought into scandal, disgrace and professional disrepute. The article, he stated, was false, scandalous, defamatory and malicious libel. Pronounced Man Dead—Claim The basis of the suit was an article in which it was stated that Dr. Tignor that pronounced a patient dead but the undertaker found her alive when he called for her body. It was a hoax practiced by an employee who had been absent from his employment for a period of two days. MAN BEING HELD IN AUTO KILLING Blanche Hawkins, 9 years old, of 1112 Second street, southeast, who was struck down and injured last Sunday at New Jersey avenue and M street, southeast, died Sunday at Casualty Hospital.

CHICAGOANS DE PRIEST GUESTS Robert Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, and Attorney McGill, of Chicago, had luncheon with Congressman De Priest and his secretary, Mr. Morris Lewis, at the House Restaurant Monday. J. T. Lannigan, a business man of Chicago, was a visitor to his Congressman, Hon. Oscar De Priest, Monday. Washington Tribune REFUSES THRONE LOCAL BOY PASSES ACADEMY TEST Charles Edward Weir, Former Dunbar Grad, Awaits Physical Examination The possibility of a colored youth entering the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis loomed large when Charles Edward Weir, a freshman at the University of Chicago, took the examination for entrance to that institution and passed the mental tests, according to information given Monday to Congressman Oscar L. DePriest, who appointed the young man as an alternate from his district. Young Weir, who is 17 years of age, is a native of Washington and is the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Weir, of 917 Euclid street, northwest. He graduated from Dunbar High School last June, and was one of the valedictorians of his class. His elementary education was received in the Slater-Langston and Garnet-Patterson schools of this city, and the McKosh school in Chicago. Many Take Exam. Over 1,700 youths took the test, 125 of whom were already in the Navy, and but 669 passed. Young Weir informed his father, who is a native of Chicago and an employee of the Agricultural Department, that it was the toughest examination he had ever tackled. Claude Henson Burns, another appointee of Congressman DePriest, failed in the tests, and Lawrence Alexander Whitefield failed to appear. He was said to have been past the age limit. First Since 1874 If Weir successfully passes the physical tests which will be held at the Academy early next month, he will be the first colored youth to enter the institution since 1874. Henry E. Baker, of Mississippi, was appointed during that year, but left in 1875. Only three Negroes have been registered at the school and none have graduated. Passes West Point Test Mr. DePriest's candidate for West Point, Alonzo Sourleigh Parham, will be eligible to enter the Military Academy in July if he passes the physical tests. He is a post-graduate in algebra at Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago, and the academic examination is not required of him. Should he fail, an alternate will be ready to take his place. Cadet Corps Officer During his four years at Dunbar, Charles Weir took a keen interest in cadet corps affairs, and during his last year was captain and regimental supply officer in the 24th Cadet Regiment. He was a member of the Dunbar Chapter of the National Honor Society, and a member of the staff of the Dunbar "Observer." In 1927, he won the $25 gold prize of the American Chemical Society, with an essay on the relation of chemistry to agriculture. He was well liked by his fellow students, and during his last year at Dunbar had three close associates, Milton "Jack" Quander (now at New York University); Blanchard Lloyd (now attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute); and Benjamin Hendey (now a student at Miner Normal College). The group was known as the "Big Four." Young Weir entered the freshman class of the University of Chicago last September. Congressman DePriest On Southern Tour Congressman Oscar DePriest left the city Thursday for Tuskegee, Ala., where he is to address the students Friday (today). He will motor from Tuskegee to Atlanta, where he is to address a large audience at Big Bethel Church, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. at 8 o'clock. Sunday, May 19, the Congressman will be the principal speaker at the Southwest Virginia Day in Roanoke, Va. Congressman Woodrum, of Virginia, will also deliver an address. Mr. DePriest will return to the city Monday. MISS. CHALKS UP REV. BROOKS MORE LYNCHING FLAYS SOCIAL Negro Who Broke Contract Rebels Against Being Forced Back Into Slavery MACON, Miss—A mob shot Stevens Jenkins, 65, to death, near here Saturday night. He was alleged to have stabbed and killed a white planter, Fred. McCrayer, 35, when McCrayer followed him to another plantation, after they had disagreed over the terms of a share contract. McCrayer was stabbed several times with a knife, three blows striking his heart. A mob formed quickly, captured and killed Jenkins before the officers arrived. It is reported that Jenkins became dissatisfied over the treatment received on McCrayer's plantation and left. The law protects planters, making them virtually "slave holders" when a Negro signs a contract even for a share crop, as is reported in this case. A share contract is more binding on the Negro who signs one than a sentence to the penitentiary. Mississippi is now leading the United States in mob murders for 1929. RUTHERFORDS TO BE CLEVELAND SPEAKERS National Executives To Address Division Meeting In Ohio R. H. Rutherford, the president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city, will deliver two addresses in Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, May 20, at the division meeting there for his company. His subject will be "Our Company as a factor in Negro Life and National Business," and "The Accomplishment of Our Company in 1928." S. W. Rutherford, secretary-treasurer and manager of the National Benefit, will speak in prophecy at the round table, Monday night, at the Phyllis Wheatley Association, on "Young Men, What of the Day?" in Cleveland. This will be known as a meeting of "Division B" under the direction of Mr. George E. Cohron, who came from Cleveland to the home office of the National Benefit as agency director of the Mixed Department. "Division B" will cover 17 offices in Michigan, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, and West Virginia. The welcome address will be delivered by Councilman, Rev. Russell Brown. Mrs. Clara E. Christopher, formerly of Cleveland, now at the head of the Claims Department at the home office and of the legal department, will address the meeting on "Sick Claims as a Vital Factor in Company Expense," and "Our Method of Paying Death Claims." Dr. Chas. H. Gilpin will tell of the "Relation of the Examiner to the Field Force." The meeting will cover three days, May 20 to 22, and will be held at the agency headquarters, 4608 Central avenue, Cleveland. Mr. Alexander Lyons, manager of the Cleveland branch, who succeeded Mr. Cohron, when he came to the home office, will be host to the visitors. Similar meetings are to be held in Washington, June 3, and in Atlanta, Ga. MISS CARTER RETRUNS Miss Jeanette Carter, chairman of the National Political Study Club, has just returned from New York City, where she attended the reception and banquet given in honor of Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest by the New York City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is chairman. Miss Carter was the house guest of Dr. Coleman and was beautifully entertained by her New York friends. Pastor Raps Local Society For Immoral Conduct The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Memorial Congregational Church, in his "Mother's Day" sermon last Sunday, deplored the lack of moral standards among both men and women of today and severely censured dances given here recently. His criticism came as a climax to his remarks on the moral tendencies of today. He stated his belief in a single standard of morality for men and women. He declared, however, that he preferred the double standard to present moral tendencies. Moral Tendencies Certain social affairs that have been given here recently, he said, justified his condemnation of the lack of moral standards among both men and women. If there had been a moving picture made of the scenes enacted at a social affair that took place here last Friday evening, he stated, on Monday morning there would have been several vacancies in the public schools, several divorce cases filed in the local courts, and Harry F. Sinclair would have had more company in the District jail. The Smithsonian Institute Announces Display of Negro Painting The National Gallery of Art of the Smithsonian Institution announces an exhibit of American Negro Art to be held in the foyer of the Art Museum, foot of Tenth street, northwest, from Thursday, May 16, to Monday, May 27. The exhibit represents a selection of the paintings and works of sculpture brought together in New York for a few months ago in connection with the annual Harmon Award in the Fine Arts for Negro Artists. The exhibition is open to the public free of charge from 9:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m., week days, and from 1:30 p.m., to 4:30 p.m., on Sundays. 'An illustrated catalogue of the exhibit has been prepared and will be on sale for 25 cents. Shown in New York The exhibit has been already shown in New York City, Indianapolis, Atlanta, and other centers, and has gained high commendation from art critics. It includes the paintings which were granted the Harmon Award by a committee of well-known artists. Among these the painting by Archibald J. Mey, Jr., especially his "Octorowon Girl," which brought the gold award from the Harmon Foundation this year, and the "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," by Malvin Gray Johnson, which received the exhibit prize, have attracted specially wide attention. The exhibit will also include a selection of sculpture from the Washington studio of Mrs. May Howard Jackson, who received the bronze medal this year. Her bronze bust of Paul Lawrence Dunbar from the Dunbar high school has been kindly loaned for this exhibit. Many Paintings The paintings represent a very broad range of subjects. Negro types and scenes naturally play a large part but there are also portraits, landscapes and imaginative works in considerable number. The exhibit in Washington has been arranged by the Committee on Race Relations of the Washington Federation of Churches. Of this committee Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, Canon of Washington Cathedral, is chairman, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, secretary. HOWARD MUST WIFE ASKS SUPP SUE FOR BACK PAY PORT FROM HOWARD MUST SUE HUSBAND Government Will Not Pay Salary for Period of Suspension Irony is playing its part in the affairs of Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman and former special assistant to the Attorney General. Instead of his having received pay for the period of his suspension, he will have to sue in the United States Court of Claims for it. The Comptroller General of the United States holds that where an employee has been legally suspended without pay by authority of the head of a department pending the investigation of charges and after the investigation an order is issued restoring him to duty, he is not entitled to pay for the period of suspension. Was Reinstated Mr. Howard was suspended from duty and pay by Attorney General William D. Mitchell immediately following his indictment on charges of bartering Federal offices. After his second acquittal Attorney General Mitchell lifted the suspicion and Mr. Howard resigned as a special assistant to the Attorney General. At the time of his suspension Mr. Howard's salary was $6,400 a year. His suspension lasted for nearly ten months. He will bring suit to recover approximately $5,333 from the Government. As a special assistant to the Attorney General Mr. Howard defended the Government against millions of dollars of claims filed by railroad companies and other corporations in the Court of Claims, in which he must now sue for pay for the period of his suspension. PERRY HOWARD JOINS HAYES AND DAVIS National Committeeman Becomes Senior Partner in Progressive Firm Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, who resigned as a special assistant to the Attorney General on May 6, will be associated with the law firm of Hayes & Davis in the general practice of law here under the firm name of Howard, Hayes & Davis, it was announced Monday. The announcement by Hayes & Davis stated that they regard themselves as extremely fortunate in securing the association of Mr. Howard because of his experience of eight years as an attorney for the Government. Prairie Before Government Mr. Howard will devote his attention to practice before the Government departments as well as matters in the local courts, it was stated. The firm of Hayes & Davis has been engaged in very important litigation, some of which has been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. George E. C. Hayes, who was the senior member of the firm, was associated with Judge James A. Cobb in the law practice. When Judge Cobb was appointed to the municipal court bench, March 17, 1926, the firm of Hayes & Davis was organized. With the organization of the firm of Howard, Hayes & Davis, last Saturday, the report was circulated that Ernest J. Davis, the junior member of the firm, is slated to succeed Thomas L. Jones, who died May 9, as an assistant United States attorney for the District of Columbia. Charles E. Robinson, president of the Washington Bar Association, is reported to be a candidate for the office. Charging that her husband, Howard Billingslea, 1811 Vernon street, northwest, has avowed that he will neither support nor live with her, Mrs. Thelma Billingslea, 916 T street, northwest, filed suit Monday in the District Supreme Court for maintenance from him. She alleges in her bill of complaint that on numerous occasions he has assaulted her. She says he has come home under the influence of liquor at a late hour of night and more frequently during the early hours of morning. His conduct toward her and in the presence of her little girl is unbearable, Mrs. Billingslea states. His habits around the home are improper, she says. He has refused to provide for her support and maintenance, she declares, and she is compelled to seek employment for the purpose of providing food, clothing and medicines for herself. In Poor Health. Claim She is in poor health and unable to pay the doctor's bills and support herself, she states. By reason of his conduct, she charges, she was compelled to go to the home of her grandparents on March 5, 1927, in order to prevent him from assaulting her. She says she has not received one cent from him since March 5, 1929. The couple were married in Baltimore, Md., January 17, 1921. Attorneys Edmund Hill, Jr., and Thomas Walker represent Mrs. Billingaela. GIRLS FACE LIQUOR CHARGE WITH MEN Two eighteen-year-old girls are being held as members of an alleged liquor ring which was broken up when police halted a speeding automobile near the District line and found it loaded with whisky which they were bringing to Washington for sale. The girls and three men faced Judge Isaac R. Hitz in the police court, Wednesday, for a preliminary hearing. Patrolmen informed the court that they were on the lookout for a fugitive from Hyattville in a murder case when they were attracted by the car, which was traveling at a terrific speed. They gave chase and overtook the machine, which they found contained three cases of liquor. The group, who gave their names as Walter Gorman, William Harris, Charles Coleman, Vernora Smith, and Margaret Campbell, declared that they had purchased the liquor in Baltimore and were bringing it to Washington, where they expected to open a house in southwest Washington. They admitted that they had put in $15 each as an initial investment. West Virginia State College Gets Rosenwald Gift INSTITUTE, Wa. Va.—The library of the West Virginia State College is again the recipient of a substantial gift from the Julius Rosenwald fund. This gift comes as a result of the efforts of President, John W. Davis, to raise the standards and to build up another unit of the college. Last year the state spent $2,000 in order to receive a gift of $1,000 from he Rosenwald people at the request of President Davis. This time the fund has promised a gift of $1,500 with the condition that the state expend an additional sum of $3,000. These donations mean that the library will receive during the two years $7,500 in books. MRS. F. E. EDGINGTON TO SPEAK Mrs. F. E. Edginton, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, will give a talk on Africa Sunday, the 19th, at 3:30 p.m., at People's Seventh Day Baptist Church, Tenth and V streets, northwest. The Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe is pastor. CAPITAL EDITION ONE H.U. STUDENT PRINCE WILL NOT BE KING Prince Hosea K. Nyabango Declines to Accept Crown of Uganda Following Father's Death Prince Hosea K. Nyabango, a student at Howard University and heir apparent to the throne of Uganda, a protectorate of the British East Africa, has refused to return to his native land and take the crown following the death of his father, who died recently, it was learned this week. The prince has been waited on by emissaries of the King of England regarding his ascension to the throne, but he has abdicated in favor of his younger brother because he feels that the responsibilities of government with its accompanying allegiance to Great Britain will prevent him from excercising certain needed reforms that he hopes to bring about for his people. He can only accomplish these aims as a private citizen, he feels. A Tribune reporter found the prince a quiet, modest and retiring young man who shunned publicity of any sort and it was with reluctance that he committed himself on the matters of state. British Protectorate Uganda is a British protectorate in Eastern Equatorial Africa, lying between Lakes Victoria and Albert and between the Mountain Nile and Lake Rudolf. It has an area of 110,000 square miles, which makes it larger than the New England States, including New York State and New Jersey. The population is given as more than 3,500,000. Its imports and exports run over $3,000,000 annually. The Protectorate is administered by a governor and commander-in-chief, under the colonial office. In March, 1900, a treaty was made with the King of Buganda, wherein he was guaranteed a salary of $7,500 annually and pensions to other members of the royal family, as well as ministers and governing chiefs. The king was accorded the title of "His Highness the Kabaka of Guganda," and his special salute was fixed at eleven guns. Has Five Provinces Uganda is divided into five provinces—Rudolf, Kingdom of Buganda, Western, Northern and Eastern. The Kingdom of Buganda is divided into 19 districts or counties, and the others have three and four districts. Definite estates are allotted to the king and royal family. Entebbe, situated on Lake Victoria, is the largest city and seat of the British government, while the capital of the native government is located at Mengo, with a population of about 70,000, about 20 miles northeast of Entebbe. It is built on seven hills, each of which has its own significance. The native parliament is called "Lukiko." Railroads Agriculture is the principal industry. Cotton, rubber, cocoa, and live stock are principal products. Communication is had by railway and steamboat. Good roads connect Entebbe with Butiaba on Lake Albert. There is direct telegram service to Gondokoro, Khartum and Mambassa. The postal service is well organized. Education of the natives is confined to the schools maintained by the missionaries. Manual, technical and higher education is provided. The French Catholics, British Angelican Church, and the Mohammedians make up the principal religions of Uganda.

Mary had pleaded guilty, with the hope of gaining probation, to robbing a man with the assistance of a male companion, at New Jersey avenue and C. street, on March 3, of $55. When the clerk of the court asked the woman if she had anything further to say, Attorney J. S. Detwilder told the judge that his client had come from a respectable family and that she had never been in trouble before, that she had a brothee: living in Philadelphia who owned his home, was comfortably situated and was willing to take his sister and try to make a good citizen of her. Judge McCoy, having concluded the reading of Probation Officer Steele's report on the case and Mary in general, asked her if she had ever assumed the name of Mary Walker and lived in Trenton, N.J. Not from Trenton "No, sir, Judge, my name is Mary Johnson," she replied, "and I don't know where Trenton, N.J., is."

Mary thought for a moment and said, "Judge, I didn't serve no 60 days, I only stayed there five."

Local Pastors Guests of Y.M.C.A. at Breakfast The pastors of Washington met at breakfast last Thursday morning at the Whitewater Hotel, as guests of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., to discuss plans for closer and more effective cooperation between the churches of this city and the Y.M.C.A. Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor of People's Congregational Church and member of the committee of management of the association, in presenting a program of co-operation for consideration by the pastors said. "The church and the Y.M.C.A. must be conceived as one religious educational unit, differentiated only as mutual arms of a common service and as to varying emphasis in program. The history, traditions, aims and purposes of both church and Y.M.C.A. invite and compel some method of co-operation for their mutual helpfulness and efficiency." S. W. Rutherford, chairman of the committee of management of the Y.M.C.A., presided. An address on the possibilities in the field of Christian character-building through the co-operation of the church and the "Y" was delivered by Mr. William Knowles Cooper, general secretary of the Washington Y.M.C.A. The pastors selected the following committee to serve on a joint committee on Church and Y.M.C.A. co-operation: Revs. J. L. S. Holloman. J. Harvey Randolph, William H. Thomas. H. D. Tillman, C. C.

E. Church, Thursday night. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, was the principal speaker. He said the schools were taking up the subject with a view to improve the youth in school along the lines of law observance. The state is endeavoring to improve law observance and aid law enforcement. Mr. Wilkinson asked what was the church and the home doing to link up with the state and the school? He said that since the state and school were exerting their efforts for law observance, that the church and the home should complete the chain of contact with the children and youth of today in order to eliminate the general average of 22 years of age for criminals. 4 OAKLAND L.

When the match is applied the oil on the starting ring burns and generates heat enough to vaporize the oil in the burner bowl. After that the starting ring (asbestos kindler) plays no part in the operation of the burner. The vaporized kerosene rising in the channel formed by the inner and outer chimneys is thoroughly mixed with air by means of perforations in the chimneys. These perforations in the chimneys are care- fully placed so as to provide for the introduction of just the right amount of air. Complete combustion takes place in all parts of the flame and produces an intense blue flame without any suggestion of the red or yellow tinge. With this Florence Burner there is no smoke or soot because there are no unconsumed particles of oil. It eliminates the heavy heat losses sustained in the ordinary type or burner with its flame considerably removed from the cooking utensil. The Florence Burner is designed to deliver adequate heat for quick cooking and yet be economical in its consumption of oil.

Of these stores are the Manhattan Stores, owned and managed by David L. Herson. Mr. Herson started in the automotive business about fifteen years ago. Since that time he has devoted all of his energies to the running of that business. The main store of this organization is located at 1706 Seventh street, northwest, and has long been known to car owners as the headquarters for a full and complete line of auto accessories and dependable used cars. Another store is located at 3035 Fourteenth street, northwest. These stores have established a policy of giving the best for the least possible money. In the words of the owner of the organization, "it is a store managed on the same policy that most chain stores are operated on." Explaining the policy the manager said that it was his aim to keep prices down and strive by volume to make low prices worth while. HAMPTON TENNIS TOURNEY, MAY 18 HAMPTON INST, Va.—The C.

Orders have been issued by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company here to the headquarters of the Standard Life in Atlanta to prepare to move to the Washington office on June 1. The National Benefit is the largest business of the race in Atlanta, employing more men and women than any other business of the south. "The consolidation of the business in 'Atlanta with our office here,' said R. H. Rutherford, president, "is in the interest of economy and efficiency, and we can best serve our policyholders by it." When asked if the transfer meant the personnel as well as the business, Mr. Rutherford answered in the affirmative. So we are to have an addition to our population by nearly 100 employees of the Standard in Atlanta coming to Washington. The Atlanta Independent says: "The office force are among the best citizens of any city. But it is just like the Rutherfords to care for everybody connected with them. We regret to see the business move, but it is in the interest of economy." Mrs. George S.

MUSIC DRAMA version of "Show Boat" will begin at the Republic Theatre. It is a magnificent production of Edna Ferber's novel and Florenz Ziegfeld's stage play. This romantic story of the Mississippi River has been deftly transferred to the silver sheet with a beauty that lingers in the mind of the viewers long after they have left the theatre. The word epic is too often used to describe pictures, but "Show Boat" is an epic—in every sense of the word. The original Ziegfeld stage stars—Jules Bledsoe, Aunt Jemima, Helen Morgan and the Plantation Singers—appear in the picture singing the haunting, descriptive melodies and songs that made the stage show of "Show Boat" such a decided hit. "Old Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" and many Negro spirituals are all used in the corresponding action of the picture. The principal passengers in the "Show Boat" cast are Laura La Plante, who makes the role of Magnolia live with a spirit that is beautiful; Joseph Schildkraut as Gaylord, the gay, care-free gambler lover; Emily Fitzroy as Parthenia Ann Hawkes, the swishing PHONE, NORTH 7956 OPEN DAILY AT 12 NOON SUNDAY AT 2 P.M.

"Broadway Melody" at Lincoln A Week Featuring all the lilting laughter, daring dancers and mood-moving music of a regular New York revue, "The Broadway Melody," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing production of backstage life, will be at the Lincoln Theatre May 18th through the 24th, with the sort of brilliant entertainment that one is accustomed to find only in the theatre district of New York. Anita Page and Bessie Love, its two leading ladies, appear as a kerosene circuit "sister act" that comes from the "sticks" to show Broadway how it put on a show. A specially written theme song, "Broadway Melody," is heard throughout the production. It is augmented by several novelty numbers, among them "The Wedding of the Painted Dolls." "Love Boat" and others. These catchy songs create a musical background for the technicolor sequence in which a chorus of more than sixty dancers appear in one of the most sensational dance creations ever attempted for the screen. Johnny Hudgins At Howard Next Week For the week beginning Monday matinee, May 20th, the Howard in presenting that stellar star, Johnny Hudgins, star of "Black Birds" for more than the past year and who uniquely holds the record of being the colored actor having the longest European tour. Johnny Hudgins, who is probably the race's greatest outstanding stage star, had a tremendous and successful tour of Europe and upon his return a little more than a year ago joined Lew Leslie's "Black Birds of 1928". This show has had probably the longest run on Broadway of any show on the stage. Mr. Hudgins only recently left this famous company and has condescended to appear before the thea- tregeors of Washington for one week only beginning Monday, May 20th. In conjunction with Mr. Hudgins' special appearance in Washington, Addison Carey has arranged for a special stage review entitled "Hawaiian Nights," with Bob (Uke) Williams as master of ceremonies, who will be ably assisted by Charles Ray, Galli de Gaston and the popular Howard-ettes. On the screen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen Edmund Lowe and Lois Moran in "Making the Grade." On the screen Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen Raymon Novarro in "The Flying Fleet." * Wednesday night is Opportunity night. Saturday is Gift night.

The Silvertone Four opened last week at the Lafayette Theatre with Irvin C. Miller's "Joy Boat," and after some recording for Victor will tour the Fox Theatres. In Oberlin Recital Miss Gladys Thomas, daughter of T. F. Thomas, of 1021 New Jersey avenue, northwest, Washington, who is a senior in the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College, gave a piano recital in Warner Concert Hall, Oberlin, Tuesday, May 14, at 7:30 p.m. It is customary for Conservatory students to give a recital in their major subjects before they take their Bachelor of Music degree. A recital of this type before Oberlin's critical musical audience is excellent experience for one who intends to devote his time to the field of music. Miss Thomas' father was present at her recital, and a number of guests from Cleveland and Akron. STAGE SCREEN Brooks and Dandridge At Lafayette In New York What is scheduled to be one of the best presentations ever to be presented in Harlem opens Monday at the Lafayette Theatre, and is the joint work of Jimmie Marshall, head of the Marshall, Garey and Davis Theatrical Enterprises; Addison Carey, another member and producer of the Howard Theatre in Washington, and Charlie Davis, dance director of Vincent Youmans "Emily Lou," and the Chester Hale girls. Each one of these young men is more than capable of producing a show alone, but they have been eager to prove to Frank Schiffman, Lafayette manager, that they are able to bring the finest of Broadway picture house presentations to Harlem, and with such artists as Shelton Brooks, Putney Dandridge, Galli de Gaston, Baby de Leon, George Byers, and Jimmie Fowler's orchestra, there is no reason why "Hong Kong Revels" should be anything short of a sensation. By Maurice Dancer Ethel Waters Film Coming To the Winter Garden Warner Brothers announce that "On With the Show" will soon come to New York's Winter Garden for its Broadway premiere. This picture, featuring America's foremost comedienne, Ethel Waters, along with Sally O'Neill, Betty Compson, Arthur Lake, Louise Fazenda Fairbanks Twins and Wheeler Oakman is not only an all-singing and talking special but is also in natural colors. Mise Waters, who opens at the Palace this week, will be on hand for the premiere. ANOTHER ALL-COLORED MUSICAL Irving Cooper has engaged Lieut.

The closing is effective after tonight's performance. Except one member all the others are colored, recruited here in Harlem. Irving Salko, general manager for Edward A. Blatt, the producer of "Harlem," his first and highly successful venture, declared last night: "They thought they wielded a whip hand and could make all kinds of demands because the show was a sell out. But when they thought they were indispensable and dared to close the show, Blatt obliged." Both Salko and Chester Erskine, who directed the play, were liberal in their denunciation of the cast. Go On Strike The boiling point came when the members of the ensemble struck for an increase in salary without warning. When their spokesman met with no business response, the ensemble barricaded itself in the dressing rooms, refusing to go on. The ensemble voted to strike. This decision was reached when the company's overseers said they would grant the advance to the extras provided the principals would take a cut that would leave the budget untouched. The arrival of Erskine, who attacked their acting and also the race, ended with the announcement that the play would close. An attempt of Isabelle Washington, the $75 a week star, who was a chorus girl at Connie's before hitting Broadway, tried to effect a compromise, but proved futile. The play will be lost to Broadway for all time, but Erskine is planning to take a company on a road tour of twenty weeks. Number two company of "Harlem" is now playing to standing room in Chicago. Trouble About Salaries The management had tried, it is reported, to sign the ensemble for $15, but this was refused. And when the $18 figure was agreed upon, it was with the understanding that salaries would be raised as soon as business warranted. But notwithstanding that the audiences soon began to fill the house each night, the promised raise was withheld until the ensemble re-belled. Lone White Star Notwithstanding that Isabelle Washington was the star of the company, and the one player most responsible for the putting over of the play, the "star" dressing room was assigned to Arthur Hughes, playing the minor and insignificant part of the "Detective Sergeant." He was the only white actor in the play, and was played up in the publicity almost to the exclusion of the colored principals, even Miss Washington. Miss Mabel Jones In Dance Recital at Belasco Miss Mabel Jones will appear with her annual classic dance recital at Belasco Theatre, Friday evening, Mty 31. Miss Jones is a graduate of the Vestoff-Serova Russian School of dancing and her recitals in Columbus, Ohio, St. Louis, Mo., and Washington, D. C., and Hampton, Va., have won the praise of dance critics wherever she has appeared I AT HOWARD ```markdown ``` BOB (UKE) WILLIAMS is the new master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre this week, whose store of quips, jokes and laugh-provoking hokum seems to be inexhaustable. Her program, consisting of three parts, will carry the audience from the dainty feminine, "My Ladies Bou迪or,' and the fairy-like toe balle, to the rustic, carefree gypsy dances. Three Sollo Dances Miss Jones will appear in three solo dances. By popular demand she will repeat her dance creation, "Progress of the Negro," danced to the music of Negro composers. Vocal accompaniment by Miss Estelle Pinkney during the rendition of this number will introduce the newest trend in classic dancing. Miss Jones is to appear in a toe ballet number and an authentic gypsy dance. In gorgeousness of costume, in beauty in lighting effects, and in the finish of the group and solo dance, this year's recital promises to eclipse any previous recital in Washington.

It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system—and physicians say that 90% of all sickness starts with stomach and bowel trouble. A coated tongue is a danger signal of those digestive disorders which lead to so many kinds of serious illness. It tells why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach, dizzy spells. Coating on the tongue is a sign that you need Tanlac—the medicine which has helped thousands who were physical wrecks from stomach and bowel troubles—who had "tried everything" in vain and about given up hope. Tanlac contains no mineral drugs; it is made of barks, herbs and roots. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money back if it doesn't help you. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED Now you may have a braising and refreshing shower each evening after coming home from work at a very early attachment that may be connected to any bathroom faucet, very easily. They are made of strong durable rubber and with care will last indefinitely in uncapacitive luxury for every home.

The 100-yard dash was tied by Tull, of Hampton, and as it stands now, Cook, of Union, and Booker, of Union, have also a claim in partnership on the record. The pole vault record was also tied by Baker of Hampton, at 10 feet 6 inches. This is the last of the famous Baker family and this is the last appearance of this particular Baker in sports for Hampton. In the scholastic division, Lee, of Armstrong High in Washington, raised havoc by lowering his own mile record. This lad is one of the he was winner in two distance races against the best distance men in this section. In the marathon in Richmond and Baltimore he was winner in two distance events he was in the winning class at Hampton. The mile relay record held by Dunbar and Borden-town jointly was lowered by one and two-tenths seconds. The surprise of the day was when Tull, of Hampton, stepped to the front and won the century dash. During the preliminaries in the morning Tull got a slow start and it seemed for a while that he was going to be lost for placing, but he managed to pull up and make second place. When the finals were called Tull took his mark along with Breaux, of Union, and other reputed runners and led the pack all the distance. His speed was remarkable in spite of the slight wind which gave him no encouragement. Another surprise was the performance of Bob Coles, now running for Union University. Bob could not bid for a place in the mile and barely eked out a third place win in the two mile. He was considered by Lincoln and Hampton as one of the most serious contenders for the mile.

The world's record, 11.4, is held by Helen M, Filkey, of the Illinois Woman's Athletic Club, Chicago, Ill., and it seems with training and proper competition that Lois Russ will be able to crack this remarkable record. This young girl has been able to run 90 yards in 10.8 without extending herself. Lois Russ comes from Newark, N.J. She entered the first year high school class the fall of 1925, and immediately began to take an active part in student affairs. In 1927, she won the second prize, a coveted honor, in the Inter-Society Declamation Contest, where the competition is exceedingly keen. She has served as president of the Little Women and is now vice-president of the Northern States Club and the Y.W.C.A. This pr mising girl track flash will graduate from the high school department of the Tuskegee Institute, May 30. She plans to enter college and will continue to perform on the cinder path.

With such names as Minto Cato, Baby Cox, Madeline Belt, Louise Cooke, Three Midnight Steppers, Merres and Merres, Billy Higgins, Eddie Green, Palmer Brothers, eight dancing boys, jubilee singers and an enlarged dancing chorus, this production is scheduled to open about the 28th of May and play the subway circuit for three weeks before making its bid for the gay white way. HAMPTON TAKES ANNUAL RELAYS Hampton and Lincoln Wage Battle To Lead In Meet Hampton and Lincoln Wage Battle To Lead In Meet By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE. May 11-Hampton, after fighting nip and tuck with Lincoln University for places, nosed out finally with a safe lead to win the eighth annual Championship Track and Field meet held on Armstrong Field. While Hampton was ruling supreme in the collegiate division, Bordentown showed her mastery over the school boy division by amassing 41 points to beat the nearest adversary, Manassas, who got 12 points. The meet was a huge success in that the largest number-of spectators were present, a larger number of contesting athletes and a large number of entries. A number of new schools were registered for the first time. So large was the entry list that two full hours were taken in the morning for running off trials in the dashes and hurdles. Jamison Trophy to Breaux The trophy donated by the graduate manager of Lincoln University, Dr. Jamison, was won by Breaux, of Union University, after securing a total of 13 points. Breaux beat Sydnor, of Lincoln, out in the broad jump, took the 220-yard dash and placed second in the 100-yard dash. This trophy is to remain the property of Union University until some other school wins it three times. Two Relays In the relays much excitement was adrift when Lincoln and Hampton took their marks—two winners in the Penn Relays. Morgan and St. Paul were also entered, but little thought was given them as contenders since little was known of their time. Harris, Hampton's plucky little quarter-miler, ran a close race and brought in a little lead, which was given to Early, Hampton's brittle sprint artist, who increased it with more yardage. Then came George Gray, whose form on running the quarter can hardly be equaled. He brought in a 30-yard lead which Captain Joe Baldwin gladly took and increased to win the collegiate mile relay and a second leg on the beautiful Robert S. Abbott mile relay trophy. The medley was equally as thrilling. Gray again whipped off a lead which was increased by Baldwin and Early and given to Smith, Hampton's winning half-miler. Hampton took a leg on the Southern Aid Society trophy, which was in the possession of Union University. In the scholastic relays, there was keen competition for supremacy. An interesting situation was created when B. T. Washington High, of Norfolk, was a second leg on the Frank A. Young trophy. Manassas also has two legs on it. What will happen next year will be left to be seen. The Records Were Lowered The collegiate division suffered the lowering of five records and the equaling of another. Those to fall were the mile won by Byrd, of Lincoln; the javelin throw, won by Williams, of Hampton; the discus throw, won by Clapp, of Virginia State; the mile relay, won by Hampton (Baldwin, Gray, Early and Harris); the Medley relay, won by Hampton (Harris, Baldwin, "I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard.

The Bears collected a total of 23 bits to score 19 runs. While the Bears were clouting the agate to all corners of the lot, Wilder kept the visitors well under control, allowing only six scattered hits, two of which were of the serrate variety. "Daddy" Griffin, doing the mound work for the visitors, managed to keep the Bears' bats quiet until the fifth, at which time the Bears started solving his offerings and did enough damage to send him to the showers, but the old veteran tried to hold on, only to find himself unable to accomplish his arm, beating Shaw. Ballard was the outstanding star of the Fayetteville aggregation, while Black starred for the home club at bat. He collected four safe blows out of five trips to the plate. LEONARD HARPER RELEASES LIFE PRISONER After spending ten years of a life sentence, David Schaffer, of Chicago, has been released through the tireless efforts of his friend and former partner, Leonard Harper, well-known producer of floor shows in New York City. Schaffer and Harper were at one time dancing partners in small road shows in the South, and after his partner got into trouble in Florida Harper came to New York and has made a name for himself by producing such shows as Connie's and Small's and many others. After a bit of rehearsing and getting onto the ways of recent show business, David Schaffer will come to New York and be featured in one of Harper's many productions. "HORSE SHOES" RENAMED "FAMILY LOU" With "Show Boat" now playing Boston, Vincent Youmans started rehearsals Monday for the forthcoming musical "Emily Lou," that was casted under the name of "Horse Shoes." This production will be similar to "Show Boat" because it is a story of the South and will use many colored performers in its large black and white cast. Among some of the well-known colored artists are Miller and Lyles, comedians; Fletcher Henderson and Cora Green.

The relay team, made up of a number of former eastern university stars will be trouble anywhere. The team will compete in the Lincoln meet, Saturday, May 18.

There are 28 drug stores in Washington owned by members of our group where everybody is served everything everywhere in the same courteous manner—not as pariahs if they seek refreshments. There are scores of our best physicians and thousands of self-respecting people who refuse to pay for segregation—who feel the urge of encouraging upstanding manhood and womanhood—who appreciate fair and honest dealing and that friendly, personal interest that is not wholly commercial. There is such a drug store in your neighborhood longing to serve you. JACKSON'S BOARD'S 3rd and H, N.W. 1912'1 14th N.W. THOMAS' HARUS' 12th and U, N.W.316 41' St. 17.

Summaries NINE Liberal Progressive Independent ENTERING OUR NINTH YEAR Tuesday, May 14, the Tribune celebrated its eighth birthday, and we are now "going on nine." The policy announced in its initial issue of May 14, 1821, has been adhered to and improvements made wherever possible. The wisdom of the publishers selecting this policy has been amply justified. We said then: "It is our policy that The Tribune shall be the people's paper, and as such to render a public service. Service is the one great word in the business world today. "In our editorial policy we shall always take high ground, realizing the people's cause is greater and far more important than any one's personal cause." That The Tribune has kept its promises is attested by thousands of people who have read its pages from week to week and referred it to their friends. That the business men appreciate the policy of The Tribune and recognize it as a safe and paying medium for advertising is demonstrated by the fact that The Tribune has carried a greater number of inches of advertising than all other Negro papers here. The Tribune has become an institution in Washington. It has led the fight in all civic matters and has been outspoken for the rights of the people. It has struck from the shoulder, fierce and strong against segregation and discrimination, against high-handedness of public officials, against false race pride. Not only has The Tribune led the fight in theory, for racial patronage, but it has set the example as well. More than fifty young men have been enabled to go through high school and Howard University by employment on The Tribune, and more than 500 boys have been inducted into business experience and profitable contact with business, professional and other people, as salesmen for The Tribune. One of our young men finished as an honor student from Howard University. The Tribune distributes more than $5,000 a year in salaries and commissions to newsboys and collectors alone. It has employed colored men and women, boys and girls to do every detail of the work connected with the business and publishing departments. The publishers wish to thank its readers, its advertisers, and its friends for their loyal support for the past eight years, and wish to renew their promise of May 14, 1921. We feel that we have given Washington "the best paper it has ever had." And we shall endeavor to improve our product wherever and whenever possible. A FAR REACHING INDICTMENT BY METROPOLITAN In a letter to Mr. James Hale Porter, of Chicago, who wrote the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to know why it does not employ colored men as agents, Mr. A. F. C. Fiske, second vice-president, wrote Mr. Porter, of which the following paragraph is quoted from a copy of the letter as quoted in The Chicago Whip: "You ask why we do not employ colored people to look after the large amount of business which we have on colored lives. The reason is, that we know from experience that better service is rendered our colored policyholders by white people than would be given by colored agents. We have tried the experiment at various times, and in sundry places, of employing Negro agents. We found that, in the first place, they did not have the confidence of their own race which our white agents inspired, and, secondly, these colored agents did not have the patience nor industry properly to serve their own race. Hence, the rule for employing only white agents." This is indeed a far-reaching indictment of the race and we might as well face the music; it is true. First, Mr. Fiske says, "better service is rendered our colored policyholders by white people than would be given by colored agents." "Service" is a big factor in the insurance business. And a lot of our own people think "white people" can serve them better than their own race. Here is the largest insurance company in the world, whose service is indeed a large asset, saying "white people" can serve colored people better than "colored agents." Some jolt. But we should calmly weigh this and endeavor to meet the demand and refute this by efficient service. Second, he says, "We found they did not have the confidence of their own race." This is the most serious indictment in the paragraph and possibly the hardest to eliminate or be able to refute. The lack of confidence is evident everywhere and very much so in the insurance business. This one company has three times as much insurance in force, $200,000,000, on the lives of Negroes as ALL the Negro insurance companies in the United States. The fact of the business is that we are not alive to our own welfare and possibilities. Instead of asking a white company to give us employment, we should withdraw our support from them and build up our own companies. We have plenty of companies in business to care for every dollar we have in the white companies, and it is only the blind leading the blind in a very short sighted policy to continue to dump money into a concern which refuses to give you employment when you have similar institutions to are for you, and who do give employment to our own people. Third, he says, "These colored agents did not have the patience nor industry properly to serve their own race." There is truth in that sentence. We seem to have little regard for responsibility and sense of the time element in our employment and obligations. An excursion, a circus, a ball game, a picnic, a dance, and even an auto ride may disrupt our employment without regard of our employer's time and our responsibility. To be up late at nights constantly means late at work in the morning, and especially where we are "on our own time," as most insurance agents are. This trio—lack of service, lack of confidence, and lack of patience is truly an indictment in which there is "more truth than poetry." However, we can but hold our own people responsible for this indictment. It can be refuted by efficient activity and a falling away from our old habits. As long as we remain passive, and continue tinidly to hang on to the white companies we may expect just such indictments as this, and in other lines of business. Why ask a white man to continue to play Santa Claus to us when we have the resources, the education, the effort to use what we have to supply our own employment? Do we lack the courage, the confidence, the industry? Or what is it that will make us go to a white concern to BEG for favors which we can GIVE to ourselves? We dey the prejudice of white concerns for not giving us employment, but are we honest or even just in our position? If our patronage is making the white concerns independent and opening positions for the white boy and girl, when in heaven's name will we learn that this same patronage will make our business men independent and open more positions for our own children? A BUSINESS ORGANIZATION NEEDED "We are sadly lacking for a clearing house of expression for the business men here," said a prominent business man of this city, recently. We have a Business High School, the only one of its kind in the United States. We have various business enterprises here, from the boot-black to the banker. But we do not have a "Business League" or any other local organization for co-operative promotion of our many establishments, or to encourage the establishment of new lines or new places of the lines established. "Sadly lacking" is correct. Why train our young men and women for business and then not prepare to employ them when they are prepared? We need an organization to co-operate with the Business School and correlate the work there to conform with the needs of the business establishment that will need prepared young people. A working agreement should be reached so that students would be placed in the establishments for actual training along with their theory at school. By attending three days in school and three in an establishment or office for a period of three months would better prepare the student to enter an office when graduating. An organization of our business men could render the school a service and get better contact with the people by co-operating with the school to take the students into their offices and stores. Parents are interested in their children, and that contact would prove beneficial to all concerned. There is a big opportunity for service for a business organization. Our merchants and business men face many problems which an organization could work out co-operatively far better than the individual. There is capital, credit, buying power, help, more intelligent management, better accounting, co-operative advertising. Business must be appreciated from the scientific point of view. An organization can help wonderfully along this line. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMPANY. Inc. 920 U Street, N.W.

A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL The appointment of a Negro youth to the Naval Academy is more far-reaching in its effect than is apparent on its face. Little does the average reader realize just what this almost insignificant act on the part of Congressman DePriest means to the world at large and how it will help determine the destinies of nations for the next decade or more. While we make no attempt to set ourselves up as an authority on international events or make the boast that we can tell what the future will bring forth, yet we contend and will endeavor to prove that this appointment will have a greater influence in outlawing war and insuring world peace than the Hague Conference, the League of Nations, the World Court, or the Kellog peace pact. Besides saying "Give me liberty or give me death," Patrick Henry also said, "I know no way of judging the future but by the past." Paraphrasing him, I say, judging by the past we know that if this young man graduates he will become an officer in the Navy. America for some unknown reason doesn't like the idea of young colored officers commanding detachments of white sailors. So objectionable would this be that before such would be tolerated Uncle Sam would abolish the Navy all together. Now right there is where my peace plan comes in. Of course you could hardly expect America to abolish her Navy without first getting European countries to abolish their's. This could be easily accomplished, because if American bankers stopped lending money to Europe it would be impossible for European powers to maintain navies. "What would become of all the sailors?" you ask. That is indeed a logical question. Right now the greatest problem before Congress is farm relief. What would give the farmers greater relief than to have all the sailors walk off the ships and do all the farming? With the farms producing greater supplies of foodstuffs the high cost of living would be reduced and people could live peacefully without constantly starting a war with somebody in order to get enough to eat. Another serious problem that is causing no end of trouble to America today is rum running. European countries have been sending ships to America laden with intoxicants, which being a better grade than our local moonshiners manufacture, cause quite a crimp in the bootleg industry. It is the first duty of any country to protect home enterprises, so the discarded dreadnoughts could be placed end to end until they form a floating fence around the Atlantic Seaboard, and at least one phase of our prohibition problem will have been solved. With no navies it will be impossible for foreign countries to transport soldiers to America to fight us, and we will be unable to send soldiers over there to fight them, so the army will be practically of no use likewise, so we might as well abolish that branch of the service also. Of course we could keep a few on hand to march in Decoration Day parades, but only a few need put in full time. Of course it would be wasteful to destroy the submarines, so they could be put to good purpose in deep sea fishing. Even whales could be captured. Now, if there is anything that the world really needs today to make it a better place to live in, it is more whale meat. The cause of most of the ills of today, both political, economic, and moral, is ignorance. Fish is supposed to be brain food. Aristotle said, "When all of the people eat fish it will probably be Friday;" but I say, if ordinary daily fish helps to improve the brain, what strides we can make intellectually when we start eating whales. Everybody will get so smart that we can abolish schools altogether, the school buildings can be converted into apartment houses, and rents will be cheaper. This will solve another very serious problem. With women growing more intelligent from eating whale meat they will put their minds on civic problems and won't have so much time to nag their husbands. If there is anything that forces men to go to war, it is nagging wives. A lot of men join the army and go to war in order to have peace. With nagging reduced to a minimum, husbands will be content to remain at home, and the governments will be unable to get enough men to fill a corporal's guard and you know no decent war can be carried on with a corporal's guard. The warring nations will be forced to sign peace treaties, or else the generals themselves will have to fight, which of course, isn't done in respectable wars. We admit that this may be stretching the point a little, but America will go to no ends on the race question, and we still contend that sending a Negro youth to the United States Naval Academy will be a panacea for all of our ills and Utopia is not far distant. Yours for world peace, even if we have to fight to get it. THE YOUNGER FOLKS' REALM YOUNG LKS'RE THE YOUNGER FOLKS'REALM C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1.

The boys' program consisted of representative activities of the physical education department followed by playground ball and volley ball. After a short run around the track, in which all boys competed, the various physical training classes exhibited stunts, games and races. Among the events were: mat stunts, pyramid building, high jump, broad jump, hop, step and jump, tug or war, stunt races, potato race, and games of many kinds.

A MOTHER'S PRAYER By Lillian Maguerite Dismond By BILLIAN MAGNUS BICKNELL A mother old, and bent, and gray, prayed for her son who had gone away, that he might come back some day and make her think of his baby days. Now, the mother thought he wasn't far, but this son had gone to war, and when the mother heard the sad news, she said, "I'll go to him if in my shoes." Now the people laughed, and called her a dunce, and said it would not happen at once. One day, while walking down the field in the rain. She said, "Dear Lord are my prayers in vain?" But, no! this mother's prayers were not in vain, for lo; her son was back again. Read the above and note the rhyme. There is one person on this earth Whose weight in gold is more than worth. It's not father, sister, uncle, brother But it is dearest, truest Mother. O, Mother, dear, we love the so, Thou art the same in sun or snow, Always the cheerful smiling face, Always the heart that's full of grace. Truer than steel, Mother, thou art, Pure as gold is thy heart. Dearer than all thou art to me, O, Mother, dear, how I love thee. 318 Florida Ave., N.W.

MORE ON LINCOLN UNIVER SITY BLACK-WHITE FAC- ULTY CONTROVERYS I was reading an article in one of the Philadelphia papers written by Dean Kelley Miller of Howard University, in which he practically condemned the students of Lincoln University because of the outcome of the recent survey which favored an all-white faculty. I am writing to you so that you may give the Washington public the real facts about the affair. I am doing this because I know that there are several people in Washington interested in Lincoln University, and 1737 Wilard St., N.W. MOTHER POETS' CORNER A FAIR PLAY By N. E. Todd By Ben N. Azikiwe FORUM Dear Mr. Editor: I would not like for them to have the wrong idea about the school. From the article, I take it to believe that Dean Miller's theory is that every Negro institution of learning should have Negro professors or instructors, and a Negro school not having Negro professors is below the standard. Using his same line of reasoning, he should also conclude that books and papers written by members of the white race should not be read by Negroes. Both of these conclusions are absurd as well as impractical, because it matters not what the color of the skin may be, if the professors have the capability, they are proficient. First of all, I would like to say that if it was not for the color of their skin, the students at Lincoln University would not know that the professors were white. They are all so congenial and helpful that the students would not feel justified in desiring a faculty of a different type. It must be remembered also that Lincoln University was founded by white people for the colored students, and now that these professors have placed the school on a sound footing, would it appear logical for the students to desire a different faculty? I dare say the majority of the students here at Lincoln would like to see one or two colored professors on the faculty, but colored administration would be undesirable. I would like to refer Dean Kelly Miller to the many Lincoln graduates in Washington alone who have gone forth into the world with a degree of culture and refinement that have made them distinguishable, conspicuous among whom are professor Johnson of Howard University; Mr. Joseph N. Hill of Dunbar High School, Reverend Waldron of the Shiloh Baptist Church, Reverend Walter Brooks and Dr. A. Grimke. Does this not prove the capability and efficiency of the faculty of Lincoln University? Finally, I take it for granted that Dean Miller is in favor of an all-colored faculty, which happens to be the case at Howard, and perhaps he can tell us why Howard has not set any kind of an example, having as it does the continued dissension between the students and the faculty as evidenced by the occasional strikes? It must be admitted that such an occurrence at Lincoln is rare. After considering these facts, I am sure that the Washington public will have a better understanding. Hoping that you may see fit to publish a few of the items and thanking you, I am Fitzgerald H. Jenkins. Class 1932. THINKS HEYWOOD BROUN IS MOST LIBERAL WRITER The Editor: Of all the writers filling space in the daily press in the country, Heywood Broun, columnist for Scripps-Howard newspapers, is one whose writing all colored people should read. There would be those however, who after sampling some of his material in, "It Seems To Me," would give him up because his articles jarred too severely the standardized dendritic mechanism that passes for a functioning brain. Nevertheless, Broun has a lot of readers. I believe he helps liberalize a lot of people. Few American white people care to have Broun's ideas aired. In expounding upon the privilege of a member of a democracy to differ violently with his neighbor on political or social questions, in the News of April 6, he said, "Two beliefs which I hold strongly are not popular. I am against the American political and social attitude toward the colored man. For is it fair to pretend that the wrongs visited upon him occur only in the South. Some disabilities are not present in the North, but enough remain to leave us heavy shareholders in the guilt of tyranny. If race prejudice is American I can only say that my country is wrong and I'm not for her." On May 7, in a diatribe against mawkish Christian practice he levels the shaft of his pen against petty spite and injustice. He opines that the world could stagger along well under the burden of its major crimes if all the petty injustices of the community might be abolished. Listen to this: "In the store across the street I watch a colored man come in and ask for a pint of coffee. Roughly the clerk tells him there is none in stock and then turns to serve a white customer with the same commodity. And I want to know what end is served by this. I cannot see how white supremacy is advanced by half an inch, or the rising tide of color damned. The store has lost two customers, and the clerk has the small satisfaction of having humiliated a man who gave him not an ounce of provocation. I cannot bring myself to a belief in any sort of hell, and yet if there were one I'd have it tenanted by the cheap-skate sinners rather than the mighty male-factors. Better by far to dive head first into briststone than niggle down to perdition one toe at a time. . . ." Many individual minds of the mass who never read teachings of tolerance in high class literature get hold of many a thought run through the pen of Broun that helps unfetter their souls from the bondage of race prejudice. For this reason we should commend a white man who tells his readers so much of truth that the average newspaper is afraid to print it. E. B. Henderson.
