Washington Tribune

Illustrated FEATURE SECTION Washington Tribune BEN DAVIS, JR., Feature Editor T THE president of the Safety Insurance Company looked up and greeted Donald Darrington with a look of utter surprise and incredulity. "Are you Donald Darrington, the great detective who solved the murder mystery in San Francisco?" he asked with a note of doubt in his voice. "Yes," the tall, dark, distinguished looking Negro replied as he seated himself in the proffered chair. "I received your wire the other morning and came right on. I do not pretend to be great but I shall be very glad to be of any assistance to you." "But," protested the plump little pink-cheeked president, taking off his eyeglasses and wiping them vigorously, "they didn't tell me you were a colored man, and—er—well, it kind of surprised me. You know that sort of makes things different. Of course, (this hastily) I haven't anything against colored people, and I shall be glad to have you work with us." DARRINGTON ASTONISHES. Darrington had been listening quite amused with a little sarcastic smile playing around his mouth. He was used to this sort of thing. As a detective for fifteen years on the Chicago police force he had encountered much of it. So he was not annoyed by the fact that the man who Section 2—Saturday, May 25, 1929 DEN ROI had wired him to come all the way from San Francisco at the promise of a very large fee for his services should be astonished that he was a black man. Darrington was completely calm—he knew what to expect from such people and thus was never surprised. "Now, Mr. Sanders," he began in a businesslike manner, "I think I shall be able to get along very well with all concerned with this case. Just give me the full details and when I start out, furnish me with the necessary credentials as an investigator for your company, I am sure there will be no friction. Most Americans are quickly awed by badges and credentials. Now tell me the whole story." Settling back in his chair, the president began: "Well, Darrington, the Holden Fur company, a reputable concern in this city, was mysteriously robbed of five chinchilla coats over a week ago. Chinchilla is probably the most expensive of furs and each of the missing coats is worth $20,000. The Holden Fur Company insured the furs with us and naturally we want to try and recover them before we have to pay out that $100,000. BACK WINDOW BROKEN. "The company does a wholesale business Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing BBERY. "A half hour later Donald Darrington stood on the roof of the Triplex Building." and occupies the top floor of a fifteen-story building downtown. All adjacent buildings are from four to six stories high. The five chinchilla coats were placed in a vault at five o'clock on the afternoon of March 13. Next morning when the vault was opened, the coats were gone. The shop doors were locked and equipped with burglar alarms, and the watchman a very dependable fellow, swears that he heard no sound or alarm from six-thirty when he came to work, until eight the next morning. One of the back windows was broken in and investigation revealed that someone had been on the roof. The police, after five days on the case have failed to find a single clue. "Nobody can explain how the robbery was pulled off nor how the robbers made their getaway off the top of that fifteen-story building. It is certainly a mystery how they got that vault open without injuring it. Only two people know the combination and both of them have ironclad alibis. Still, the case looks too perfect for an outside job. So, on my own initiative, having heard of your wonderful work in 'Frisco, I decided to call you in to try your hand before we pay the Holden Company's claim. There's ten thousand dollars in it for you if you can locate those missing chinchilla coats."

The food has soured. The instant remedy is an alkali which neutralizes acids. But don't use crude helps. Use what your doctor would advise. The best help is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. For the 50 years since its invention it has remained standard with physicians. You will find nothing else so quick in its effect, so harmless, so efficient.

The surprising thing, however, is the plain every-day materials that are used. Miss Mayme can take a few cents worth of sealing wax, a wire frame, some linen, a handful of beads and create a boudou lamp equal to those in the exclusive shops. Crafftex, used by Mr. Edward Goldsborough for interior decorations, is nothing more than a white plaster-like material, which after being applied, is colored to suit the fancy. Miss Helen, of course, requires only a brush and some colors for her work. They have no elaborate studio. Most likely the work is done as they all gather around the living room table. It was the writer's privilege to visit the Goldsborough home and see their work at first hand. Edward Goldsborough showed me a marine picture that looked like a genuine oil painting, several decorative wall panels, a table lamp in a rough finish; all done with this plaster-like material called craft-tex. On the table was an unfinished bolster cover similar to those Miss Mayme sells for thirty-five dollars. She showed a bowl made of compressed paper, brightly colored with sealing wax. There was also a vase of artificial flowers. These flowers are very much in demand on Easter and Mother's Day. Another interesting feature of their work is the wax figures which are displayed in beauty shops and department stores. Miss Helen Goldsborough has the knack of "planting" human hair on the head of the figure so that it appears as if it had really grown from the scalp. She tints the base of the figure to resemble drapery of velvet or silk. These wax models are used in many of the New York stores and beauty parlors.

Janguage. Pushkin is known as “The Father of Russian Literature.” But he 4s more, He took the half-formed and neglected Russian language that hitherto had been used onily by slaves and the lower classes and shaped it into a thing of living beauty. 2 Prior to Pushkin, French was the language of the educated Russian. Russia has had many great writers since. She has had Count Tolstol, Dostoievsky, Gogol, Gorky, Lenine. Had there been no Pushkin, Russia’s famed thinkers might still be writing in French. ‘When a Russian writes or speaks his Janguage he is more indebted to Pushkin than peoples of the Anglo- Saxon language are to Shakespeare. Pushkin was a Negro. He was descended on his mother’s side from Abraham Petrovitch Han- nibal, surnamed “The Negro of Peter the Great.” ‘As to Hannibal his story out-ro- mances romance. Captured in @ slave raid in Africa, he was taken to Constantinople and sold. A Rus- sian officer, seeing him in & seraglio there, talked with him and found him so unusually intelligent, that he stole him and took him ‘to Russia.

At his besraoad he left several estates, 1500 slaves and seven ‘children. Pushkin was born st Moscow, June 7, 1799, his father being a member of the Russian nobility. Like others ‘of his class, his training was ‘en- tirely. in French; the Russian lan- guage he picked up from his nia- nia or white “mammy,” and the slaves on his father’s plantation. His “mammy” had come into ex- tensive contact with Russian high society, she also knew Russian his- tory, an~ told him stories that thrilled him. From the slaves ‘he learned folk-songs and folk tales. But the sweetest of all tales, the tales that did most to fire his youthful imagination were those told of his ancestor, Hannibal. At twelve he entered the Imperial Academy, where his outspoken: criti- Gpigrams, and ‘hig poet’ ability at epigrams, poetic al yal once created a stir. At fifteen his first poem brought him immediate fame, exciting the admiration of Dorzhavin, then the leading poet of Russia, This ‘was recited every- where, so profound an impression did ft make on all classes of Russians, high and low. And it was all the More daring as it had been written in Russian and away from the con- ventional French. forms. “With one cut of his sword,” ‘says a critic, “Pushkin had freed Russian litera- ture ‘from -the ties which were keep- ing it enslaved.” Was Boy Prodigy At eighteen ‘Pushkin had ‘become se eee poet in Russia and the fe RE a aatig ~p-Tson them in ® manner that thrilled.

When Nature, or God, or Life, ‘or whatever you will has some great mission to perform, it picks not a black, white, red, or yellow man, but @ MAN. Pushkin had come upon a scene of autocracy and slavery. Some thirty millions of his fellow-Rus- sians, all white, were held in the grip of a hard, cruel slavery. And unlike the Negro, they were of the soil from time immemorial. Pushkin's poems had fulfilled the great desire for self-expression dormant in the Russian people, now they went fur- ther; they stirred that spirit of lib- erty slumbering in the oppressed masses. Champion of Freedom “He made poetry,” says another critic, “the highest ey of the human spirit. He, therefore, pro- claimed the right of human person- ality to be free.

Later, he was given a government post in the Caucasus under the gov- ernor, Prince Vorontzoff, but he wrote a satire on the latter that caused his arrest, Finally he was sent back a | gees to his family, who was held responsible for him. But his independent ways brought him into continual quarrels with ‘them and fleeing from them, he went off to live among the slaves and peasants on a@ distant estate. Here he devoted himself to his work. The next important event in Pushkin’s life occured in 1826. At this time a large number of his as- sociates, who had pledged themselves to the overthrow of autocracy and the liberation of the slaves, were arrested and sent to Siberia, Push- kin was away at the time, and thus escapal. When the Czar, Nicholas I, learned that Pushkin had not been among the conspirators, he sent for him, “We are very glad to learn, Count,” he said, “that you were not among those arrested for conspiring against “ “Your Ma; ,” replied Pushkin, with his oak frankness, “had 1 been present I would have been ar- rested for they are my comrades and friends.” Accepts Court Position “and that would have caused us great sorrow,” replied the Ozar. “Count, we are highly grateful to you for ae have done for Rus- ‘sia.

After such an offer there was noth- ing else for Pushkin to do but ac- cept. But, as will be seen, this offer was to be Pushkin’s undoing. Nor was it to be the Czar’s fault, for he loved Pushkin as a brother, and spent a great deal of time in his company. At that first meeting, aft- er Pushkin had left, he had said to the Court: “We have just been talking with the wittiest man in <ll Russia.” If Pushkin had been an important figure before, he was all the more so nae Editors fought ar) gus Pe. scripts; everyone sought his auto- Braphs, he was in the eyes of all. lowever, he could not have come into a more unfavorable environment than that of the Russian Court, or for that matter, any Court, At once the jealousy of the members of the Czar’s retinue fastened itself on this Sea ths ae ee lia dics ec! irs aS an are loes @ candle.

It certainly was a job for a man with guts, with loyalty, with good health, with strength, and above all, with adaptability to any sort of conditions that might arise. And, after this wonderful dash, Peary himself complimented that man, Matthew Henson, on these very qualities. Peary said, when asked why he chose a Negro to accompany him on his record-breaking trip: "Matthew Henson, my Negro assistant, has been with me in one capacity or another since my second trip to Nicaragua in 1887. I have taken him on each and every one of my expeditions, except the first, and also without exception on each of my farthest sledge trips. "This position I have given him primarily because of his adaptability and fitness for the work and secondly because of his loyalty. He is a better dog driver and can handle a sled better than any man living, except some of the best Eskimo hunters themselves." Best Suited It is to Commander Peary's credit that when he found that the man best suited for the position was black and not white, he acknowledged the fact, and gave Henson what was due him. And it is even more important that, in the brave little group that cheered Old Glory at the top of the world, not countries, but races, were represented. There were the Mongolians, the Eskimos. There was one Caucasian, Commander Peary. There was one Negro, Matt Henson. Henson was born in Charles County, Maryland, on August 8, 1866.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION ages of History ATT OF HUMOR MATTHEWS Viant Satirist we traced the history of the American Negro from the Dutch Schooners to the underground railroad which made it look like a report of the department of commerce While all of this had nothing whatever to do with the question in hand, we will take up where we left off, allowing the readers the privilege of quitting whenever they get tired. No articles dealing with preachers and railroads would be complete without this little historical reference dealing with the early struggles of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It seems that a certain deacon went to the office of a railroad official in a small town and requested that he order the engineer on the train that passes through on Sunday not to blow his whistle. The official asked why and the deacon said, "You see our pastor preaches until he hears the whistle and last Sunday that blame train was twenty minutes late."

St. Joseph History points out that another cause leading up to the Civil War was the writing of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The only paralleled to this in its devastating effect upon human events was "Noah's Ark." As a little girl, Harriet Beecher Stowe had started to write this great book but her father had discouraged her because he could not see the need of writing a book when they could be bought so cheaply. Another thing that postponed the writing was that Abraham Lincoln had not yet given up his job as a deckhand on a riverboat and there was no use stirring up a war until everybody was ready. The book vividly pointed out how Uncle Tom was in his cabin on his knees with one eye on his chains and the other on Paradise. Prejudiced historians have attempted to prove that this was a typographical error and that the author had intended to say that he was on his knees with one eye on his change and the other on a pair of dice. This, however, has been proven to be just a lot of bunk. The opposition attempts to prove their contention by saying that if Uncle Tom wasn't shooting crap where do we get that expression about "Roll Jordan Roll"? Of course, it's six on one side and a half a dozen on the other and t twelve is a hard point to make. Time passes as time always does and Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglass began to run for President. Although these two men were very bitter enemies in public life, in private they were the best of friends at once!

Quick-because St. Joseph's Prescription C-2223 is correct in principle. It attacks rheumatism at its source. Instead of going about it in a "hit or miss" manner, C-2223 gets right to the bottom of the trouble by cleansing the system of acid poisons and accumulated waste matter. This tends to reduce the swelling and relieve inflammation and pain. St. Joseph's Prescription C-2223 is indicated for the treatment of sub-acute and chronic rheumatic aches and pains of the joints and muscles, gout and neuralgia. It is easy and pleasant to take and the results are usually quick and lasting. Try it today! St.Joseph's as this little incident will prove. Abraham wrote a letter to Douglass and handed it to a friend to read before mailing. "That's a very nice letter," said the friend, "complimentary and inoffensive, but there there is only one T in dirty and you spelled 'cock-toach' with a C instead of a K." Lincoln would have lost had women been permitted to vote because Douglass was as handsome as a matinee idol and Abe did not have enough sex appeal to lure an old maid out of a burning building. He succeeded in ascending to the presidency, however, and the Southern states began to secede in rapid succession. This caused the Civil War and Grant was selected to engineer the Northern offensive, making him the first Civil engineer. Sherman got sore and said "War is Hell." and when he died he couldn't enter the pearly gates until he repented for cussing. Sherman tock it all back, but he had no sooner entered the gates before he turned to another angel and said, "But You can get the 60c trial size at all dealers-or the regular $1.00 bottle which is sold on a moneyback guarantee. Prescription C-22223 FOR RHEUMATIC ACHES AND PAINS The North was represented by the stars and stripes and the South by the stars and bars. The slaves were all set free, but soon as the war was over they started locking them up again putting them in stripes behind the bars and pinning the stars on deputy sheriffs to watch over them. This led to the filming of the great movie, "The Birth of Incarceration." And still we haven't quite proven just why preachers are fond of chicken, but there is no use of explaining this natural phenomena until your minds have been cultivated to a point to understand it.

This book tells of the gradual change that is everywhere evident below the Mason-Dixon line. To be sure, the Negro has undergone tremendous treatment at the hands of the many novelists throughout the country. This work is no exception to the rule and again tells in an unconvincing and rather mercenary manner of Negro life on the Mississippi around Memphis and adjacent towns.

All of this is the old story told in perhaps no commandingly different manner. In spots the author shows a fair insight into racial life as in the chapter where he depicts something of the conflict between the old and new generation of Negroes. At more frequent times Mr. Wasson does not convince us of a sufficiently thorough understanding of the southern situation. Nevertheless, the author has written an interesting book and it deserves reading. "THE CONJURE WOMAN." The Conjure Woman. By Charles W. Chestnut, 229 pp. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, New York. Price $2.00. This is one of Mr. Chesnutt's earliest novels. It is a simple, beautifully told folk tale revolving about a colorful exceedingly real character named Uncle Julius. The old Negro type finds an accurate description here.

Knopf. In this book we are told why guests at a wedding shower rice on the bride and groom. In the past it was customary to do this in order to appease the gods, who often envied human happiness. Further on, we learn that the full name of Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas and that this saint was Bishop of Myre in Lycia and later died a martyr to his faith. Many other popular legends and notions are explained and traced to their source in this very interest book. Mr. Waterman has treated his su- ```markdown ``` ject matter very scientifically and manages to make a very serious analysis of any number of theories and notions that are ordinarily regarded to have only a humorous significance. Ideas on such "tabooed" subjects as sex-worship are handled very frankly and witchout the slightest tendency to be either puritanical or erotic. A True Account Rope and Faggot. By Walter White. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York. 276 pp. Price $3.00. The "truth and nothing but the truth" compels the attention of the reader from the first paragraph in this new book by Mr. White. Startling, gruesome facts crowd the 276 pages of accurate painstaking treatment that comprises perhaps the most authentic account of the racial situation in the South that has ever been written. A book of this sort was published some 20 years ago but it is now out of print. However, there can be no doubt that it did not record the perennial Southern problem with either as much interest or authenticity as is to be found "Rope and Faggot."

Push- kin had been married to one of the most beautiful women in Russia, and tales began to fly, charging her with infidelity. One day, Pushkin received an extremely embarrassing and insulting bit of correspondence, alleging his| wife’s unfaithfulness. Stung by this insult he sought out the one he deemed the culprit—Baron D’Anthes—and sent him a challenge Killed in Duel The two met on a wintry field in the morning of February 8, 1837, ned with pistols. Pushkin, who, was said, was incapable of harm- ing anyone, advanced to meet his antagonist with lowered weapon. But D’Anthes fired, the ball lodging in the poet's intestines. From this ‘wound he died in great agony two days later. On hearing of the injury to his favorite the Czar was furious. “Never shall I forgive,” he swore, “those who have killed my beloved Pushkin.” D’Anthes’ life was spared nly by Pushkin’s intercession, who. with his last breath asked the Czar to pardon his enemies.

Finally, the water freezing over, the party proceeded on sledges and again took up the unblazed trail northward. A few of the parties began to turn back, taking with them the men and dogs not deemed fit for further travel. Only four parties remained. One was commanded by Captain Marvin, of the "Roosevelt," the second by Commander Peary himself, the third by Captain Bartlett, the fourth by Matt Henson. Captain Bartlett turned back. Soon after, Captain Marvin returned, only to be drowned in the icy water on his return journey. Final Dash Six men started on that final dash. They were Peary, the four Eskimos, Ootah, Egingwah, Segloo, and Ooqueah, and Henson. The time had come for action! The last lap was the hardest. They marched and marched. They pulled heavy sledges over snow drifts. They fell down in their tracks, got up and staggered on again. They forced themselves onward—onward to that elusive goal. Both Henson and Peary had the shivery experience of crashing thru the ice, no mean experience at 57 degrees below; it was even too cold to change the garments that rapidly became cakes of ice. Still they pressed onward,—northward. Straining every muscle to its utmost—pushing the heavy sledges—guiding the dogs—onward they pushed April 6, 1909! Henson caught up with Peary, who had stopped in his tracks and had taken out a silk flag brought for the purpose. The Pole was reached! They were on top of the world! Old Glory had conquered the farthest north, carried there by four Mongolians, a white man, and a Negro! Henson says that when he saw Old Glory waving in the breeze, "A thrill of patriotism swept over me, and I raised my voice to cheer the starry emblem of my native land. The Esquimos gathered around and, taking the time from Commander Peary, three hearty cheers rang out on the still, frosty air, as our dumb dogs looked on in surprise." After taking observations and building an igloo at the pole, there was nothing to do but to return over the same tedious route over which they had traveled. The strain of the hard task was beginning to tell on the men. After the first two marches, Commander Peary was nothing but a dead weight. It was Henson that kept up the break-neck pace that landed them all safely back at the ship in record time. They were greeted with cheers at the "Roosevelt," and the next few days were given over to rest and sleep, after which the homeward voyage was begun. The United States was greeted with a love that only long-enforced absence can bring. They were home once more! The Stars and Stripes were "nailed to the pole." Henson's reward has been far below his due. He is 63 now, has been given a silver cup as a token of appreciation, has been recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor, and will probably be honored in the Negro Achievement Building authorized by Congress, but is this the reward of a man who is the sole survivor of the only expedition to reach and claim the North Pole? Years After Probably, like most other great men, his true greatness will not be appreciated until years after his death. And then men will honor him and say, "Here is a Negro who was not afraid to face death for his country, whose unswerving devotion leads us to speak of him as the pioneer in the field of endeavor in which the Negro is destined to have an increasing part, and as the first of that newly born race of people, The New Negr:1" CURLY HAIR Soft, Silky, Long, Wavy By Using HEROLIN POMADE HAIR DRESSING HEROLIN POMADE HAIR DRESSING.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION The Holden Robbery (Continued from page one) "Now," snapped Darrington, "I understand the situation fairly well but I must have a little more data. Who saw the coats placed in the vault?" "Mr. Alvin, the president of the Holden Fur Company; Mr. Timothy, the cashier; Tom Johnson, the porter, and Jim Speed, the shipping clerk." "Who was last to leave the office?" "Timothy, the cashier." "Who knows the combination of the safe?" "Only Alvin and Timothy." "Only AVRIL and TINCE, "You say the value of the five chinchilla coats is $100,000?" "Yes." "How many chinchilla coats did this firm have you insure last year?" "Just a minute. I'd never thought of that. Oh, Miss Levinsky. Find out how many chinchilla coats the Holden Fur Company insured last year." "Well, while we're waiting for that information," continued the sleuth "tell me about the president—what sort of a man he is?" MR. TIMOTHY SUSPICIOUS. "Well, he is really one of our leading citizens. He took over the presidency of the Holden Company about ten years ago and has been rather successful. He belongs to several exclusive clubs, is married, has a beautiful home in the choiceest residential district and is highly esteemed in the community. I don't think heh ad anything to do with the robbery but I do have my suspicions about Mr. Timothy. He is an old employee and has been with the Holden Company for over fifteen years. Nevertheless, and despite the fact that there is nothing against him, I am a little suspicious because we have learned that he plays the races and occasionally the stock market. You know people who gamble are liable to get in tight places financially and then in their desperation they are lured into crime." Just then Miss Levinsky, a plump young miss with blondined hair, entered and laid a pencilled report on Mr. Sanders' desk. He glanced at it quickly and frowned. Dismissing the girl he turned to Darrington. "We insured only two chinchilla coats for the Holden Company last year," he informed Darrington. "Now tell me," the detective asked, "what has been the status of the fur business this year? Has it been worse or better than usual?" "Why I should say it has been better." "How does Alvin stand financially? I suppose you have made the usual examination of his bank accounts." "Oh, yes, and everything is oken in that direction." "What do the police know about him? Has he any skeletons in the family closet? Does he ever step out with the scarlet ladies, or anything like that? Is he one of these tired business men who spends his evenings in cabbages?

WILLIAMS 901 Bergen Ave. FREE Jersey City, New Jersey DEPT. 2 50€ there isn't a blemish on his character so far as we have been able to find out." "Um-hmm," grunted Darrington, stroking his chin meditatively. "Well, Mr. Sanders you get those credentials ready and I'll see what I can do." A half hour later Donald Darrington stood on the roof of the Triplex building, the top floor of which was occupied by the Holden Fur Company. As soon as the superintendent unlocked the door of the penthouse and left the detective to his own devices, Darrington stroked his chin and looked about. Going to the edge, just over the back windows of the Holden company, he whipped out his magnifying glass and went carefully over the edge of the cornice. Glancing quickly around he noted that the smokestack of the building was directly behind him. Near where he sat the gravel of the roof was disturbed as if some people had been scuffling up there. The black man took a toothpick out of his vest pocket and picked his mollars reflectively. Then, as if with sudden resolution, he retraced his steps to the penthouse and examined the lock of the door. After a minute or two he walked to the front of the building, looked over the edge of the roof into the busy street below and shaking his head doubtfully, returned to the penthouse and descended to the offices of the Holden Company. Making himself known to Mr. Alvin, the president, a shrewd-looking fellow with slightly graying hair and piercing blue eyes, he asked him to call all of the employees into his office. In five minutes the entire group, about fifteen, were lined up around the walls of the room. Mr. Alvin then informed them that Darrington was a great detective, and had been retained as investigator by the Safety Insurance Company. "Do just as he says," the president admonished, "and answer any of his questions." All of them nodded acquiescence. A STRANGE METHOD. Darrington had each one given a pencil and a piece of white type-writing paper. "Now just write on your sheet," he commanded, "a complete account of the manner in which you disposed of your time from the hour you left this office on the evening of March 13 until next morning. Don't omit anything." Then turning to Tom Johnson, the Negro porter, who had just begun like the rest, to put pencil to paper, he said "Come with me, young man." The porter's eyes opened apprehensively but he followed obediently. When they had reached the workroom, Darrington had the man show him over the entire place very hurriedly. He glanced curiously at the safe, noting that the wash bowl was directly in front of the other side of the room, and that a large mirror hung over it.
