REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT SHOOTING
Bullet Passed Through Left Lung. Was Very Popular. Will Recover
Much mystery surrounds the shooting of pretty Miss Lillian Bernice Smith, aged 21 years, daughter of Headquarters Detective Howard Smith, 902 French street, northwest. Though critically wounded, Miss Smith is now resting easy in Carson's Private Hospital. She is suffering from a gunshot wound of the left lung. According to police reports, Miss Smith was shot Monday when her father's service revolver was said to have been accidentally discharged. The pistol was in a dresser draw. A scarf was entangled in it and the gun is said to have gone off when Miss Smith sought to get the scarf. Miss Smith was a senior student in the college of education at Howard University. Notices were sent seniors last Saturday by the registrar's office who were to graduate. Miss Smith marched in the baccalaureate procession last Sunday. It is believed that her failure to receive notice of graduation on Monday made her despondent. Miss Smith refused to make any statement on the affair. Her room was banked with flowers. She was very popular at Howard. She has practically passed the danger point. She will possibly leave the hospital within a few days.

MANAGERS OF NAT'L BENEFIT CONVENE HERE
A conference of branch office managers and supervisors of the mixed department of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, with Geo. E. Cohen as agencydirector of this department, met here Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Whitelaw Hotel. Three meetings each day were held. S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager, delivered the welcome address, Monday morning. B. V. Lawson, manager of the Washington district, responded. John R. Pinkett, agency director of the ordinary department, gave greetings from his department. George E. Cohen told of the purpose of the conference. R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer, spoke on the accomplishment of the company in 1928. "Our company as a factor in Negro life," was the subject of an address by S. W. Rutherford. "The Building of Men" was discussed by George E. Cohen in the afternoon. Mortimer F. Smith told the conservation of funds and the reduction of expenses. Mrs. Clara Christopher discussed sick claims as a vital factor in the expense of the company.
The main topic, Monday evening was "Young Man, What of the Hour?" discussed by S. W. Rutherford. He said the Negro outnumbers the Jew four to one, but the Jew does not hold indignation meetings and pass meaningless resolutions. But he is consistently working to better his condition. He told of a Jew who went to Lynchburg, Va., and after only four years in this country bought the home of a Negro across the street from him who had his parlor full of installment furniture while the Jew had his parlor full of groceries. He discussed health, death rate, self respect and crime. He closed by saying that we need to produce something instead of being consumers all the time.
17 Branches Represented
Seventeen branches were represented in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District.
C. R. Alexander, of Norfolk, Va., led the conference in exceeding his pledge of new business for the second quarter by about $15. B. V. Lawson, of Washington, has challenged E. L. Barbour, of Baltimore, for net increase for a $25 prize.

SUPREME COURT AWARDS DR. NELSON VICTORY IN SHRINERS' MADE ASS'T CASE TO NEGRO ORDER AT HOWARD
Holding that the white Shriners were guilty of inexeusable delay in asserting their rights and had acquiesced in the existence of the colored order, the Supreme Court of the United States, Monday reversed the courts of Texas which had enjoined colored Shriners from using the names, emblems and insignia of the order throughout the United States.
The opinion of the court delivered by Justice Van Deanter in part is as follows:
"This case presents a controversy between two fraternal orders called Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, one having white and the other Negro members. A short reference to the origin and history of these orders will conduce to an accurate appreciation of the controversy.
Two Distinct Orders
"From early times there have been two distinct Masonic fraternities in the United States, one confined to white men and the other to Negroes. Each had its local lodges, grand lodges and supreme lodge, and also several component bodies, including Knights Templar and Scottish Rite consistories. Both have existed in the same territory and have had similar names, rituals and emblems, and yet have been independent and without any interrelation. The white fraternity's existence in this country reaches back to early colonial times. The Negro fraternity was organized in Boston in 1784, and afterwards was extended to other sections.
"The orders called Nobles of the Mystic Shrine are relatively modern, originated in the United States and are outgrowths of the Masonic fraternities just described. They were founded by the Masons and their membership is restricted to Masons—white in one case and Negro in the other—who have become Knights Templar or have received the 32nd degree in Scottish Rite consistency.
Whites First Shriners
"The White Masons were the first to establish an order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. They organized one in New York in 1872 for fraternal and charitable purposes. The order grew rapidly and soon came to have local lodges, called temples, in most of the states, and also to have a national governing body called its Imperial Council.
"The Negro Masons imitatively organized a like order for like purposes in Chicago in 1893. It also grew, although not so rapidly as the white order, and came to have many local temples in other sections of the country and to have a

REVIEW OF LAND CASE IS DENIED
The Supreme Court of the United States, Monday, refused to review two cases, involving the constitutionality of residential segregation agreements of property owners, which had been held legal by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. Petitions for review on writs of certiorari were denied. Review of the cases was sought by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The association became interested in the cases after the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia had granted injunctions against the colored purchasers of the property and had declared void the deeds conveying the property to them.
First Street Property
The property is No. 2328 First street, northwest, which was sold to Henry A. and Alyce N. Cornish, and No. 77 Randolph street, northwest, which was sold to Edgar G. and Susie B. Russell. The First street property was subject to a restrictive clause which provided that it shall never be "used, occupied by, or sold, conveyed, leased, rented or given" to colored persons. The Randolph street property was covered by an agreement of property, owners in that section that their property shall not be sold to or occupied by any colored person for a period of twenty-one years.
The Court of Appeals upheld the judgment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia declaring the conveyance of the property to Mr. and Mrs. Cornish and Mr. and Mrs. Russell void and ordering them to remove themselves and their personal property from the premises.
Unlawful Restraint
A review of the decision of the Court of Appeals was sought on the ground that the covenants were unconstitutional. The covenants also were attacked on the ground that they were contrary to public policy and constitutel an unlawful restraint of alienation and an unlawful restraint of trade. Louis Marshall, of New York, who, with William E. Leahy, assisted in the preparation of the brief in support of the petitions for review, predicted that if courts of equity will enforce agreements of this kind, accomplishing an object which the state itself cannot do, a veritable ghetto system will result.
President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, announced this week, the appointment of Prof. William Stuart Nelson of the faculty of the School of Religion, as administrative assistant to the president.
Prof. Nelson is a graduate of the Lincoln High School of Paducah, Ky., entering Howard in the fall of 1914. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in 1920, spent one year in study at the Union Theological Seminary, New York City, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Yale University in 1924. During the year 1921-22, Mr. Nelson was a graduate student at the University of Paris and the following year spent one semester at the University of Berlin, and in 1923-24 spent three semesters at the University of Marburg. Prof. Nelson has complete this residence requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Marburg, in Germany, and is now working on his thesis which he hopes to complete during the coming year.
He became a member of the faculty of the University in 1924, and now holds the position of assistant professor of Philosophy, and is a Fellow of the National Council for Religion in Higher Education.
MAN'S HEAD IS BLOWN OFF IN BIG EXPLOSION
Howard Christopher, Seat Pleasant, Md., was instantly killed, Saturday, at 12:30 noon, when the fixwheel of the laundry machinery blew off, striking him on the head, tearing half of it away. He was employed as a fireman by the Elite Laundry, 2119 Fourteenth street, northwest, where the accident occurred.
It is alleged that during the noon hour he heard steam hissing or escaping in the engine room and went down into the pit to attend to this noise. The explosion occurred shortly after he descended and no one was in the room to tell just what happened or how it happened. Christopher had not been employed there long.
A coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Monday. Only two witnesses were called: P. M. Greenlow, District boiler inspector, and Charles L. Beard, supervising engineer of the Elite Laundry. Both stated that the room in which Christopher's death occurred was so badly damaged that they were unable to determine the exact excuse of the man's death.
Three firemen were burned about the face and hands when they went into the room to get Christopher's body and cut off the steam.
More than 1,000 persons gathered around the building tying up traffic on Fourteenth street temporarily, as numerous fire companies responded to the alarm, Harry Lane, an employee in the wash room, hearing the explosion, ran to the building across the alley to cut off the steam there. Christopher was carried to the Emergency Hospital in the ambulance.

DUNBAR-ARMSTRONG GRADUATE 113 IN THE NIGHT SCHOOLS

The joint commencement of the Dunbar-Armstrong night high schools was held Monday night in the Armstrong auditorium, at which time 113 adults were given diplomas. Dunbar had 47 graduates. Armstrong graduated 67. In plain sewing, dressmaking and ladies' tailoring, there were 22; in art, 8; in millinery, 6; printing, 3; auto mechanics, 19; shoe repairing, 9; and 1 in wood work.
Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, of the Board of Education, presided. Music directed by Miss V. Williams, Captain Campbell C. Johnson, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., delivered the graduating address. The awarding of diplomas and certificates by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. He also delivered a short address on law enforcement, after congratulating the graduates for having the courage and perseverance to continue their course to completion. "This class," said he, "represents the new idea of progressive education. The night school courses have been reorganized and revised to meet this new idea."
Speaks of Law Enforcement
Speaking on law enforcement Mr. Wilkinson said: "The President has made law enforcement the greatest issue before the American public. Some believe the war is the cause of it; others think the home has broken down, while others think the machine age throwing men out of work, and still others attribute it to the laxity in the courts. Whatever the cause, four agencies are affected by this lawlessness—the home, the school, the church, and the state. The state has begun its effort to better the conditions. The President has appointed a commission to make a survey of crime and lawlessness. The home, the school, and the church must do their share."

(Continued from page 1) national governing body called its Imperial Council.
Answer Summarized
"The answer of the order may be summarized as denying that the white order had acquired any exclusive or superior right to use the name, constitution, designations, titles, emblems and regalia before mentioned or any of them; denying that the Negro order's use of such name, constitution, designations, titles, emblems and regalia was with wrongful or fraudulent purpose or was for other than the exercise of a right belonging to that order as a lawfully constituted fraternal and charitable association; setting up the Negro's order's incorporation in 1901 under the Act of Congress of May 5, 1870, and asserting that in virtue of that act and such incorporation the order became entitled, if not thereoffore entitled, to use the name which it adopted and was still using, to adopt and have a constitution, to establish and have local lodges, to select and use appropriate emblems and regalia, and to do other things properly incident to the maintenance of a fraternal and charitable order; alleging that its acts and practices were all within its rights under that incorporation; asserting that there had been and was no competition between the two orders and that the white order drew its membership wholly from the white Masonic fraternity while the Negro order drew its membership wholly from the Negro Masonic fraternity; and setting up that the white order by reason of its laches and its acquiescence in the acts and practices of the Negro order was without right to an injunction on any other equitable relief.
State Appelate Courts
"In the state appellate courts the Negro order relied on the Act of Congress of May 5, 1870, and its incorporation thereunder, just as it had done in the trial court, and also insisted that the decree against it was not in accord with the decision of this Court in Creswill v. Knights of Pythias, 225 U. S. 246, where like privileges asserted under the act of Congress by a fraternal and benevolent association incorporated thereunder were involved.
"The record and the opinions set forth therein make it apparent that the existence with the State of Texas of lodges of each of the two orders was not contrary to any statute of the State.
No Fraudulent Intent
"There is no evidence of a fraudulent intent on the part of the Negro order, or of a purpose on its part to induce anyone, whether Mason or non Mason, to believe that
it was the white order or that they were part of the same fraternity. On the contrary it is shown that the Negro order always held itself out as entirely distinct from the white order and as open only to members of the Negro Masonic fraternity. True, there was much imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretense.
"The evidence discloses that the Negro order promptly entered its constitution in the Congressional Library under an act of Congress providing for copyrights; that its members openly wore its insignia as indicative of its existence and their membership; and that at its yearly national meeting the members in large numbers marched in public parades wearing its regalia.
Whites Had Knowledge
"Thus it is established that from the beginning the white order had knowledge of the existence and imitative acts and practices of the Negro order. In addition, the evidence indubitably shows that with such knowledge the white order silently stood by for many years while the Negro order was continuing its imitative acts, enlarging its membership, acquiring real property in its corporate name, and investing substantial sums in the copied paraphernalia, regalia and emblems.
"What we have said of the evidence demonstrates, as we think, not only that there was obvious and long continuing laches on the part of the white order, but also that the circumstances were such that its laches barred it from asserting an exclusive right or seeking equitable relief, as against the Negro order.
"As it is apparent that had this view of the question of laches prevailed in the state court the federal right set up by the Negro order must have been sustained, the degree must be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this onion."

HOWARD PRESIDENT DELIVERS ADDRESS TO 178 GRADUATES
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—"The most urgent duty confronting young Negroes of this generation is to follow the Tuskegee leaders in their thinking until a complete and thoroughgoing program of advancement for the Negro people is thought out and put into motion with the most powerful technics known to the modern mind." This is the obligation of Negro youth as conceived by Dr. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, president of Howard University, who delivered the forty-eighth anniversary commencement address at Tuskegee Institute, last Thursday afternoon in the Institute chapel.
"After you have gone out," Dr. Johnson charged the graduates, who number 178, "you can make this Southland call you blessed, and rejoice in your presence, and have them repeat that Tuskegee Institute is a wholesome place, indispensable to the nation, and its work is manifested in the noblest manner through its graduates."
Moton Introduces Speaker
Dr. Robert R. Moton introduced the speaker, told of the success he had met with in the three years he has been president of Howard University, and the influence he is exerting upon the youth of the race.
For the first time in the history of the school graduates of the four-year college courses marched in cap and gown. Dr. Moton, Dr. Johnhon, W. T. B. Williams, dean of the college, and E. C. Roberts, director of the academic department, also wore the academic raiment.
The procession, led by the institute band and the cadet regiment, marched from the Carnegie Library to the Institute chapel where the exercises were held. Included in the line of march were Dr. Moton, Dr. Johnson, members of the board of trustees, members of the executive council, teachers, alumni, visitors and candidates for graduation.
Dr. Moton conferred degrees upon and awarded diplomas and certificates to 178 candidates. This number includes nine candidates for the bachelor of science degree in agriculture, technical arts, education and home economics, 36 for the junior college, presented by W. T. B. Williams, dean of the college; six for the diploma in nurse training, presented by Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, medical director; 106 for the high school diploma and 21 for the trade certificates, presented by E. C. Roberts, director of the Academic Department.
Dr. Gregg To Relinquish Position After Eleven Years of Service
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. The trustees of Hampton Institute have announced the resignation of Dr. James Edgar Gregg as principal, to take effect on July 1, after a service of more than eleven years.
In accepting his resignation, the trustees issued a public statement thanking Dr. Gregg for his services during a period in which the institute has made great advances. The achievements of his administration include the creation of the college, the establishment and endowment of the builders' course, the establishment of the library school, the enlargement of the library building and the erection of a group of other important buildings, the increase of the teaching staff, and a better organization of its administrative functions.
Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal, was appointed acting principal at the time of the acceptance of Dr. Gregg's resignation.
Henry Lincoln Johnson Honored by Relief Asso.

PROFESSOR TO WORK FOR DOCTORATE
Miss R. Arliner Young, assistant professor of zoology and acting head of the Department of Zoology, Howard University, has been granted a fellowship by the General Education Board. Miss Young will enter upon her resident work for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology at the University of Chicago, June 15.
Miss Young is the first colored woman elected to the Sigma Psi Fraternity. She received the degree of A.B. from Howard University in 1923, and Master of Science at the University of Chicago in 1926. Miss Young has attracted wide attention in her discovery of the structure and the rate of pulsation in the contractile vacuole of the paramecium.
During the past two summers Miss Young has assisted Dr. Ernest E. Just in his investigations at the Biological Laboratories, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and is now making a study of the effect of ultra violet radiation on echinoderm eggs. This investigation will serve as a basis for her doctor's thesis.

Graduates of Howard University were told in the accolaurate sermon preached Sunday by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, university president, to shun greed and cynicism and render a service of love to the people.
The services were held in the gymnasium. There was not even standing room on the inside of the gymnasium-armory building. the vestibule being crowded with people who sought to hear the sermon and see the graduates. One woman fainted. She was standing in the rear of the gymnasium. Ushers quickly and quietly carried her outside where the fresh air revived her. Dr. Johnson was not disturbed in his sermon.
A procession, which moved from the front of the Carnegie Library into the gymnasium, preceded the exercises. Invocation was offered by the Rev. Samuel Judson Porter, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Scripture reading and prayer were by Dr. Johnson. The university choir sang two anthems, "The Lord Is My Light" (Parker), and "Sanctus" (Gouned).
Exerpts from Sermon
Dr. Johnson began by expressing his joy to the graduates because of the completion of their courses. "I rejoice moreover," he said, "because every one of you is prepared to meet some urgent social need of the people. "There will hardly be one of you who will not have a call by the people to serve; for there is not a single thing, for which we prepare students here, which is fully supplied in the life of the people—not nearly enough doctors, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, ministers, singers, poets, musicians. We are still a poor people in all these things."
He advised the graduates that they are "going out to deal with a very humble people, a people still economically helpless, not able to supply themselves with labor and not able to manufacture and exchange with one another the common necessities of life; a people whose real interests are still not represented in the public order, and in a larger portion of this country they live in a civil state existing by violence and deliberately depriving them of what they actually need."
Power Controls People
He reminded his hearers that "we still live in a world in which the men of power control the people but do not except in rare cases love the people." He declared that the greatest need in this world is "for a powerful group of people who love the people."
He asserted that "the greatest danger which confronts our country today is not the danger of petty crime; it is the danger of enormous and far-sighted greed of men of great intellect, who control the technical appliances that control human life, who would throttle and choke and smother the life of the people.
"Wealth, money, luxury, power—economic, political and social power—control great masses in industry, control great banking enterprises, control government giving secret and private dictation to the elected."
Only a Handful
Dr. Johnson said that "it is probably true that in the history of the human race there are only a handful of men who have ever tried deeply and truly to love the people in their collective sense who have not at sometime or other suffered not only at the hands of men who have taken advantage of the people but have suffered at the hands of the people themselves."
uates to start out on a pathway of loving service to the people in order that they might come into a new life. A solo, "Done Made My Vow," was sung by Lester Dorsey. Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Ernest Clarence Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church.

A New Negro Town;
Name To Be Determined
By a special act of the 70th Congress known as House Bill 469, a new Negro town will be incorporated in nearby Maryland after June 11, if the special election carries, which is to be held next Tuesday.
The section proposed is now known as Fairmount Heights, North Fairmount Heights, Bryn Mawr, Waterford, part of West Fairmount Heights, part of Winser's Sub-division, part of Slocum's Sub-division in Prince Georges County, Maryland. There is an approximate population of 3,000 people, all colored.
A Referendum Election will be held at Fairmount School from 7 a.m., to 7 p.m., on June 11. The election committee is composed of Charles W. Hawkins, George Patterson and Isaiah Mills as judges, with Robert Palmer and Richard Johnson as clerks. The town is to have a commission form of government such as is had at Highland Beach. The new colored town will border on the District of Columbia and be in the shadow of the Nation's Capital, and will rank among the largest strictly Negro towns in this country.

RESPITE GIVEN MAN CONVICTED OF MURDER
RESPITE GIVEN MAN CONVICTED OF MURDER
George Herbert Thompson, youthful slayer of his sweetheart, Elsie R. Bowen, has been given a respite to permit his counsel to appeal to President Herbert Hoover for executive clemency. He was to have been electrocuted Friday, but Justice Frederick L. Siddons in criminal division No. 2 of the District Supreme Court, on Tuesday, postponed his execution until Monday, August 12. Attorney Frank J. Kelly asked for the postponement. Assistant United States Attorney Fihley consented to it. The conviction and death sentence of Thompson was recently affirmed by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. His one hope of escaping the electric chair is executive clemency from President Hoover.
Thompson killed his sweetheart after she had refused to become reconciled with him. They had quarrelled over another man. He pawed his overcoat for the money with which he bought the gun to kill her. At the time of the murler a year ago he was only 21 years old.

Greater advances have been made in Haiti in the past seven years than in the preceding one hundred years, it is stated by Brig. General John H. Russell, American High Commissioner to Haiti, in his annual report just made public by the State Department.
General Russell reported that the Haitian debt had been reduced by $1,053,748.01 in the past year, and now stands at $18,887,623.01.
Cultivation of bananas has been encouraged by relieving them of export taxes, he stated. Bananas are the only commodity which do not pay such taxes, he said.
Several important reforms were voted in a plebisite held last year, General Russell stated. They are to permit of a reform of the judiciary; to permit the Government, if so desired, to exercise a stricter control over the communal collections; to permit of a change in the name of the "Gendarmerie d'Haiti;" to change the term of office of the senate from six to four years; to change the term of office of the president from four to six years, and the president not to be eligible for re-election; to permit the government more effectively to control the press to the extent of stopping scurrilous publications, and to permit the government to appoint under-secretaries to cabinet offices.
Makes Financial Progress
General Russell directed attention to the progress made in Haitian finances, stating that the fiscal year of 1927-1928 established a record.
"The fiscal year 1927-1928 has been a record year in Haiti from the point of view of nances; the revenues of the Haitian Government for the year totaling the unprecedented amount of $10,084,203.30, exceeding the previous year by 29.5 per cent.
"This increase is principally due to the large coffee exportation valued at $8,220,361, an increase of 43.40 per cent over 1926-27.
"Inasmuch as the purchasing power and welfare of the people, as well as the economic situation in general depends to a large extent on the state of the coffee trade, the importance of the growth and care of this commodity in Haiti will be readily appreciated.
"After coffee, the most important export is on the basis of the coffee."
PETER J. BURKE
DR. E. P. DAVIS, new head of College of Liberal Arts, succeeding Dean Woodard.
a decrease in quantity was noted, but due to a marked increase in price, values actually amounted to 36.44 per cent more than in 1926-1927.
FAKE TICKETS BRING 90-DAY SENTENCE TO 2
On recommendation of Probation Officer Smith, James Bullock, 19, a student of Armstrong, was given 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to duplicating tickets for the annual drill and selling them. Rudolph Austin, 18, who assisted Bullock, was given 60 days. Probation Officer Smith gave the boys an opportunity to pay for the tickets received at the gates, which numbered 607 tickets at 25 cents each, amounted to $151.75. They refused to pay for the tickets and on Saturday were sentenced. They acknowledged that they had 1,500 tickets printed, 607 of which were received at the gates. More than 300 were found in a print shop on Florida avenue, where the work was done. Bullock had 58 tickets on him when arrested by Policeman Piper, who worked up the evidence against Bullock and Austin.
Both of the boys have police rec-
ords. Bullock has been arrested
on two occasions, and Austin five
times.
Dr. Brooks At Shaw University
RALEIGH, N.C. — The sixty-fourth annual commencement exercises of Shaw University opened Sunday with the baccalaureate sermon by D. Walter L. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Bantist Church of Washington. "We are Able," was his subject, which he applied to the lives of the 52 graduates, urging them to have faith in themselves, faith in their fellowmen and faith in God. The commencement today closed the program. Dr. W. Q. Roselle, of Boston, delivered the commencement address.
KAPPA PSI HOUSE DAMAGED BY FIRE
Damages estimated at $2,500 were done the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity house at No. 1836 Fourth street, northwest, by fire last Friday. The third floor was gutted by the flames. Water did heavy damage to the remainder of the house.
The origin of the fire was not determined. There are, however, two theories. One is that the fire was caused by a short circuit. The other is that it resulted from a cigarette or cigar stump left in one of the rooms by a student who had gone to his classes at Howard University. The fire was discovered about noon time. The heaviest sufferers from the blaze were Kappa men who lived on the third floor. Their clothing was burned.

Phil Edwards, N. Y. U. Star, Breaks Fourteen-Year Record of 800 Yards
SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD CAPTAIN N. Y. UNIVERSITY TEAM SMASHES RECORD OF MEREDITH
Flashing across the tape at the end of the 880-yard course at the Intercollegiate races held last Saturday in Philadelphia, Phil Edwards, sixteen-year-old Negro captain of the New York University track team, not only won the race, but broke the intercollegiate record for that distance held for fourteen years by Ted Meredith.
Fifteen hundred spectators saw Edwards jump at the bark of the gun and shoot along ahead as though shot from a cannon. Not for one instant during the entire race was there any doubt about whether Edwards would win the race. The only question was whether he would break Meredith's record, the record that had stood fourteen years.
At the outset Edwards took a long lead, so much so that for a time he bewildered the spectators, who were looking for the colored boy back among the others. The pace that he set was terrific, and it was apparent that he was out for a record.

Hillsdales Conquer Maryland Team In Double Bill
In a double-header played at Locust Grove last Thursday, May
35-Yard Lead
At one time he commanded a lead of thirty-five yards over the field, but at the finish his lead over Chapman, second place winner, was about seventeen yards. Edwards kept up a steady pace, while Chapman and Velt put on speed in the home stretch. This accounted for the closed gap rather than Edward's wearing out. The victory of this young boy did not come as a surprise to his followers. He had been expected to win, although not to break the record. He has a long record of track achievements.
He started at New York University as a middle-distance space-eater with nothing definite in sight except the attainment of three qualities—form, physical relaxation when necessary, and a sprint finish. In his freshman year, and again as a junior, he ran cross country to develop stamina. He has mastered these points, and now confines himself to a trio of specialties—the 600 indoors and the 440 and 880 outdoors.
Gets Two Records
Edwards raced his way into possession of a pair of world's records this year. In the Knights of Columbus games at Madison Square Garden he clipped four-fifths of a second off the best previous time for the 500-metre event, going the distance in 1:05, and then at Toronto in March he was timed in 1:21 4-5 to don the crown at 660 yards.
Has Other Titles
He holds seven other important titles. He is Canadian champion at 1,000 yards outdoors, 440 yards indoors, 600 yards indoors and 800 metres outdoors. In the United States, Edwards is national 600 yards indoor potentate. The time, 1.12, tied the national indoor record, and was two-fifths of a second behind the world's mark. He also holds the intercollegiate championship at 880 yards, which he will defend at Philadelphia. Ireland also contributed a title, that at 880 yards, which the New York University man won following the Olympic games last summer. A large number of local titles also are Edwards'.
In Olympic Games
Representation of Canada in the Olympics was the peak in Edwards' career. He placed fourth in the 800 metre, the event which was won by Douglas Lowe, but had the satisfaction of beating out Lloyd Hahn of the United States, who was fifth.
Captain of Team
Edwards was elected captain of the New York University team this season, and has led the team to a string of successes indoors and outdoors. The most notable achievement was the garnering of the I. C. 4 A. indoor title at the close of the winter campaign, and Edwards hopes to see it paired with the outdoor title.
Treasury Wins by Nose
Amassing an early lead off West, Berry and Hawkins, Treasury was just able to hold on and gain their second straight win at the expense of the Gunners.
Beverly weakened in the final inning, giving way to Beckwith, who although wild, managed to come through, making Pleasant roll* to Pollard for the third out, with the tying run on third.
Berry was banished from the game by Umpire Richards for objecting too strenuously his decision.

Pirates Whip Giants In Hard Fought Game
The Washington Pirates whipped the Potomac Giants in a hard fought game here last Sunday. The Pirates stepped out in the first inning with four runs and held that lead through the entire game. The Giants struggled vainly to overcome the lead, but Grunnel held them to four hits and three runs. Grunnel allowed four bases on balls, while Harris let eight take the free pass. Grunnel struck out ten, Harris, five. Nealt was the umpire.

Myrtles and Woodlawn Split Double Bill
The Woodlawn Hawks split a double header with the Myrtle A.C. on Sunday, June 2. The first game was a walk-away for the Hawks, 8-1.
Blake, Woodlawn's sterling right-hander, had the conquerors of the Washington Black Sox eating out of his hand, pitching perfect ball for six and two-thirds innings. From there on the Myrtle batters managed to get five scattered hits. Adams played masterful ball for the Hawks while Verney, who was handicapped with a sore hand, thrilled the spectators by running in all directions to snare would-be base hits.
The second game, which went seven innings, was won by the Myrtle A.C., 3-2. Carter, the Hawk's young left hand, gave a good account of himself in the box. A few misplays by his mates and a flunk single gave the Myrtles all of their tallies in the third inning.
HEADQUARTERS BOARD TO MEET
The Headquarters Board of the National Negro Women's Clubs will meet here at their headquarters, Twelfth and O streets, northwest, Friday and Saturday, June 7 and 8. The board is composed of the following: Mrs. M. M. Bethune, president of Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach, Fla., chairman; Mrs. Fannie R. Givens, Louisville; Miss Arsonia Williams, St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, D.C.; Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor, Daytona, Fla.; Mrs. J. B. Samuels, Everett, Wash.; Mrs. Emory Overall, of Utah, and Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell.
HOWARD TO EMPLOY FUL LTIME COACH
"The Trustees of Howard University, who have the appointing power for all faculty members of the university," said President Johnson, "have decided to have as coach a man definitely and permanently connected with the university in its ideals. Dr. West, as a part-time employer, does not meet that requirement."
This is the statement of President Johnson regarding the coach of Howard for 1929 and future years. Dr. Charles West is an interne at Freedmen's Hospital and will be there until October of this year. He will devote his time to his profession, the practice of medicine, at his home in Washington, Pa., when he shall have finished his internship at Freedmen's.
Dr. West said that he had not been informed on the matter and therefore had nothing to say.
It is definite that Howard will have a new coach for the next season. Starting with Hampton, Howard will have a very hard schedule and whoever the coach may be, may look for a hard season.
DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE STATISTICS
By Wm. C. Traynham
With one of the most thrilling races in the history of the Departmental League now being waged, no team at this stage is far enough in front in the stretch drive to be assured the winning of the first series.
The schedule favors G. P. Q., with seven postponed games to play out of the nine. But with Treasury suddenly coming to life, they are in a position to upset some of the leaders while apparently out of the running.
Both Navy Yard and Agriculture has lost ground, while Veterans' Bureau in its last game showed a smooth running defense and a terrific batting punch which should carry them up in the race.
The failure of G. P. O. and Navy Yard to muster sufficient men at game time (Thursday) caused this game to be thrown out, thereby giving the Aggies and Vets perhaps a full game advantage.
Batting honors go to Baylor, Agriculture, with a mark of 500, followed in order by Lee, Veterans Bureau, 464; Jones, Navy Yard, 461; Eady, G.P.O., 454; and Williams, Treasury, 368.

Havana Baseball Team Wins Double Header From Black Sox
The Havana Red Sox took both of a double bill played at Union Park last Sunday. The Red Sox banged out twelve base hits to score nine runs in the first game, while the best the Black Sox could do was to make eight safeties for a total of two runs.
In the nightcap the Red Sox turned six hits into six runs, while the Black Sox got eleven safeties for only three runs.
Fauntroy, Ferrer, and Jefferson led the slugging, each knocking out three binges for safeties. Villie was the winning pitcher in the first game, while Bronezz took the second, which was called off in the seventh inning because of darkness.

Treasury held Agriculture to an 8-8 tie and only through the pitching of Bailey were the Aggies able to hold the money men.
Bus Moten's slow ball was puzzling until the 5th inning when two walks, an error and two hits netted five runs.
S. William, Lewis, and L. Moten hit homers, while Barnes went through the entire game at first without a chance.

FEATURED WITH NEW SHOW
NEW YORK CITY (By Dancer)
What seems to be a battle in New York City between the leading colored orchestra, is the new rumor of Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club orchestra, signing with Ziegfeld's "Show Girl." Vincent Youssain, the young composer, who is now rehearsing a new musical that will rival Ziegfeld's "Show Boat," was the first to consider Duke for his Broadway production, but after some misunderstanding, Youmans signed Fletcher Henderson and his band. Now comes the report that Duke Ellington has signed with the master showman, Florenz Ziegfeld, and it looks as if there will be a battle of jazz when these two orchestras open on the gay white way.
Announcement was made over the radio by Norman Brokenshire of the Columbia Broadcasting Company, that Duke had been definitely signed by Ziegfeld. Duke Ellington's Jungle Band broadcasts every week over the Columbia system as one of its regular features.
"THE DESERT SONG"
AT THE REPUBLIC
Warner Bros. spectacular 100 per cent singing and talking picture, "The Desert Song," will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre for five days only, Saturday to Wednesday, June 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. This picture comes to the Republic direct from a three weeks engagement at the Metropolitan Theatre.
In no other picture has there been so convincing a demonstration of the possibilities of Vitaphone as in "The Desert Song." It will go down in history as the first musical play to be transferred in its entirety to the motion picture screen.
"The Desert Song" is living, throbbing melody, pouring from the screen with boundless magnificence—the supreme achievement of motion picture art with 182 singing voices, 116 exotic dancers, and an orchestra of 109 players.
On Saturday, June 8, only, episode eight of "The Fatal Warning," the gripping mystery serial will be shown.
Alice White, the star of "Show Girl," will be seen and heard in her latest effort, "Naughty Baby," a First National Vitaphone picture on Thursday and Friday, June 13 and 14. Miss White, the sensational flapper discovery of the year in movieshed, made her starring debut in the very "hot" picture "Show Girl." The producers then chose her for "Naughty Baby," a typical story of life in New York City and its surrounding resorts. A notable cast of players support Miss White in "Naughty Baby."
"Gentlemen of The Press" At the Lincoln
Take a story dripping with human interest in an atmosphere that everyone likes to hear about, give it a cast of fine, trouping, magnetic actors and a production that puts into it every possible value and you get a picture like "Gentlemen of the Press," Paramount's latest all-talking drama of newspaper life which the Lincoln Theatre will feature June 8 through June 11.
On the stage "Gentlemen of the Press" was the sensation of New York and the story has been faithfully reproduced for the screen. A master cast, headed by the incomparable stage artist, Walter Huston, includes six members of the original stage cast.
On the screen, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, will be seen a play which was a sensation in New York last season, "The Letter," which has been translated to the screen and will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre, Jeanne Eagels, well known stage star, has the leading role.
All members of the cast supporting Miss Eagles are stage players including Jean de Limur, O. P. Heggie, Reginald Owen, Herbert Marshall. Jean de Limur directed. This film will be presented as an all-talking picture.

—Stepin Fechit, who is called the Bert Williams of the screen, came to the Roxy in an all-white cast, a Fox singing, talking and dancing production "Movietone Follies" and was at once claimed by all critics as furnishing the only real moments of amusement. Fechit has made an enviable record for himself, for his splendid work in "The Ghost Talks," and "Hearts in Dixie." He is now on location in the East, a picture which his acting is said will stand out more than anything he has done.
BILL ROBINSON PLAYS KEITH CIRCUIT
BILL ROBINSON PLAYS KEITH CIRCUIT
NEW YORK CITY (By Dancer)
—Bill Robinson, the "Little Blackbird," flew over the Keith circuit for thirty years. Then, a little over a year ago, the door of the Palace cage opened and he flew away, over to 42nd street. Vaudeville loaned him to musical comedy and he starred successfully in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" for more than a year. They went to Paris for twenty weeks, but the door of the Eltinge Theatre was left open and the little old "Blackbird" flew right back home again to the Palace, where he opened to the most appreciative audience that he has ever played to before. Bill is not only a genuinely funny, natural comedian, but is also the best tap dancer that ever lived.
TO PRESENT ALL-HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
The department of music of the Washington public schools, divisions 10-13, will present the all-high school orchestra in a unique presentation of dances and songs at the Armstrong auditorium next Monday at 8 p.m. The All High School Orchestra, founded this year under the leadership of Henry L. Grant, has grown in popularity since its induction. This year it has performed in over twenty-five school and community functions. Recently it broadcast from station WMAL of this city and created a city-wide sensation of surprise resulting from the artistic quality of their work. The program is given with the hope that the embryo artists will be inspired to take up orchestral work as a profession. General admission will be fifty cents. The funds will be used to buy music and instruments.

The curtain rose on Mademoiselle's boudoir with Violet Warfield as Mademoiselle. Marion Dixon, Mademoiselle's new doll, exhibited her personality in her dance of the French doll. One by one the dolls danced before the approving eyes of their owner. There were Spanish dolls, Goliwigs, a Persian doll, the Harlequin and Columbine dolls, the Chinese doll and the Twentieth Century doil. Each did its part so well that Mademoiselle decided to keep them all, instead of discarding some as she had planned.
Next came the "Naughty Little Flirts," danced by eight tiny tots of about three or four years. This was followed by an interpretative dance, "Spring Bouquet," by Nadine Harris, Lois Hellman, and Marie Dixon.
Miss Jones then appeared herself in her specialty, "The Progress of the Negro," showing his rise from slavery to freedom. A highly effective "Musical Visualization" dance rounded out part one.
Part two opened on a rustic Gypsy scene. Lorelle Murray, the Gypsy, was telling her fortune by cards and the dancers interpreted the meaning of each card. Mabel Jones also appeared in this scene to even greater advantage than in the former. Her number was the "Dance of Romance," a very difficult piece of toe work.

SHOW PASSES 500TH PERFORMANCE
NEW YORK CITY (By Dancer)
—Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" at the Eltinge Theatre, that is now playing its fourteenth month, leads the golden dozen, meaning the twelve shows with the leading number of Broadway performances. The number two company headed by Harriett Calloway, which replaced the original one when they sailed for Paris last week, passed the 500 performance Saturday, and is well on its way to another hundred before this production folds up.
While en route to Paris aboard the S. S. France, where the production opens for a summer's engagement at the Moulin Rouge, the original company of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" gave a performance of the show aboard ship and raised several thousands of dollars for the Scamen's Fund.

ETHEL WATERS SINGS THEME SONG IN PHOTO
ETHEL WATERS SINGS THEME SONG IN PHOTO
NEW YORK CITY (By Maurice Dancer)—For once again the valiant Warner Brothers have completely revolutionized the motion picture industry. As they first made the formerly dumb drama of screen articulate with Vitaphone, they have now endowed the once drab shadows of filmdom with the bright lights of the rainbow.
A short while ago when everybody thought that talking pictures were only a dream, these brothers proved different when they brought to the screen Al Jolson's "Jazz Singer." History repeats itself, and of course, it would be the Warners, who would add further laurels to their already crowded wreaths by bringing to the main stem this new and startling chapter.
Their latest masterpiece, "On With the Show," had its world premiere at the New York Winter Garden last Tuesday evening, an all-talking, singing and dancing Vitaphone special, and to top this off, it is a 100 per cent natural color production that rivals any of the Broadway musical extravaganzas, done with the artists in person.
This all-white cast is featuring Ethel Waters. America's foremost ebony commediene, whom Ashton Stevens says "is the finest artist of her race and generation." Ethel has added another star to her crown of musical achievements. As she has made herself liked on the stage by her wonderful ability in putting over her songs and that winning personality, she won her way into the hearts of the first nighters, who viewed this special with keen interest. The theme song, "Am I Blue?" is one of two numbers done by Miss Waters, and she more than takes her share of laurels.
"On With the Show" is an instant box-office attraction and looks as if it will have an indefinite stay on Broadway.
YOUNG MUSICIAN MAKES
GOOD
Of interest to Washingtonians will be the signal success of Miss Margaret Browne, a junior piano forte contest at Staten Island, N.Y., during the Music Week contest. Miss Browne was the only colored contest and was rated 86%, and was awarded a silver medal. Miss Margaret is the daughter of Samuel A. and Catherine Johannas Browne, former residents of this city. She made many friends here while visiting her aunts, Mrs.
Arthur F. Boston, of Seaton place and Mrs. Delancy C. Henry, of Second street.

dren in the first, second and third grades of our school were not able to attend school but a half day, because of insufficient class-room space. Today all of the children in the second and third grades, with the exception of one section beginning in the middle of the term, are able to attend school all day. This was made possible because the school officials added three rooms to our building and another teacher to our teaching staff. During the year we have been able to equip our high school room with laboratory apparatus for general science work. This has made the work in science more concrete and has laid the foundation for more and better science work in the high school. Twenty-five dollars toward this expense was contributed from the Parker-Gray building fund, the rest was supplied by the school board.
Over $150 worth of new books have been added to our library during this term, but for the first time the over 600 books we have have been catalogued, loaned out and recorded as they are in a standard library.
Another worthwhile improvement has been that of fastening the seats together in the auditorium. Funds contributed by the Odd Fellows and Good Samaritans have been of great assistance in this improvement.
The outstanding improvement around the school has been the addition of the fence around the playground. Few but those who are connected with the school can realize the importance of this. Our school lot was a public thoroughfare, for everyone, and the missuse of the back portion of our building was beyond description. On the other hand children were always molested by outsiders, which is no longer true since we have the fence.
Among the changes for next term are an additional teacher for high school work, and the changing of school hours, so that the Parker-Gray School will have opening and closing hours similar to the other schools in the city.
Closing Exercises
The closing exercises will be held Friday morning, June 14, at 10:30 o'clock. The student speakers on the occasion will be Joseph C. Waddy, ranking student in scholarship in th second year high school class, and Kirk Carter, ranking student in the 7th grade. Waddy, whose oratorical ability is known the country over, has an larship in the second year high school career. The graduation speaker will be Campbell C. Johnson, secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Washington D.C.
Each year some prizes are given for scholarship and character. The Martha Tancil prizes given by Herbert Tancil in memory of his mother's interest in the school, are presented to the student with the highest scholarship and character standing in the sixth and in the seventh grades. The Parker-Gray Club of Jersey City and New York presents a gold prize to the student who has made the best record in scholarship and character in the Home Economics Department. The local lodge of Elks presented for the first time last year a gold medal to the student in the high school with the highest record in scholarship and character. This prize is being presented again this year.
Signs of Progress
Among the signs of progress in our city is that of school attendance for our larger children. Our larger children are remaining in school. Last year there were 37 pupils in the 1st grade. This year
Prizes
52 have been on the register, and 47 have remained until the end. The growth in the high school has been just as great. Last year the enrollment was 38, while this year it has been 48, and the prospects for next year is that we shall have from 65 to 70 pupils in the high school.

IN MEMORIAM
ADDISON—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear sister and aunt, Mary Virginia Addison, who departed this life June 3, 1924.
Always through her kindly thoughts,
And still more kindly deeds,
She sought the fragrant rose of joy
Amongst life's noxious weeds.
She held no selfish thoughts of gain,
In searching day by day;
Her pleasure was to find the rose
And then give it away.
—Her sister, Sarah E. Howard,
and family; her niece, Ada Addison.
JONES—A tribute of love to the memory of my devoted sister, Hallie E. Jones, who died six years ago, June 4, 1923.
I cannot forget you, dear sister,
Though long may seem the years,
And often in the lonely hours
I wipe away the tears.
Time has not healed my wounded heart
Nor filled your vacant chair;
I miss you, dear sister,
More and more everywhere.
e and more everywhere.
Her devoted sister.

SONNET XIV
Zephyrs at last, loved heralds of the spring
When earth in mating time is redolent,
And swallows gayly fleeting homeward bring
Tales of strange lands where winter days were spent.
And all the earth is pregnant, the young leaves
Spring from their dead boughs as though overnight.
And form again last season's leafy eaves
To hide anon new lovers out of sight.
There is a sentiment too deep for words,
That thrills the spirit in these springtime hours.
Enhanced by the trills of mating birds
And by the subtle breath of springtime flowers.
A spirit that was torn by winter's grief.
Now is as buoyant as a wind-blown leaf.
Ivan Earle Taylor.

VICTORIA HUNTON
BERRY DIES
Mrs. Victoria Hunton Berry, formerly of London, Canada and Detroit, Mich., died at her residence, 115 W street, northwest, Thursday, May 30.
Mrs. Berry was the daughter of Stanton Hunton, a pioneer Negro settler in Canada and a close friend and confederate of John Logan Berry, whom she married in Chatham; and the sister of the late William A. Hunton, for many years international secretary of the Y. M.C.A.
The deceased woman was the mother of the Rev. Louis H. Berry, rector of St. Philip's Church, Newark, N.J.; and of Mrs. Norris A. Dodson, at whose home she resided in Washington. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary A. Gordon, of St. Louis, Mo., and a brother, Wendell P. Hunton, of Detroit.
The funeral service was held at 2 p.m., Saturday, June 1, at the home of Mrs. Norris A. Dodson. The Rev. W. Mitchell, rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, conducted the service, and the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple, delivered a prayer for the dead. Pall bearers were Norris A. Dodson, Robet Dodson, Theodore Matthews, Benjamin H. Hunton, and William A. Hunton. Hymns at the service were sung by a choir consisting of the Misses Jane Bosfield, Mattie S. Shippen, P. A. Denny, and Mrs. V. Quivers. Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, of Howard University, conducted the music. Immediately after the service, the body of Mrs. Berry was taken by the Rev. Louis H. Berry, Mrs. Norris A. Dodson, and Mrs. Mary A. Gordon to London, Canada, where the interment took place.
Highland Beach Notes
Unseasonal temperatures over the week-end prevented the usual gathering of guests at the Beach's two hostelries, and only a few week-end sojourners braved the chilly atmosphere for a dip in the surf. Washingtonians registered at Ware's Hotel include Prof. and Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, C. H. Thomas, J. Adrienne Marshall, Julia E. Davis, Ethyl K. Doyle, Matilee Grier, John Hunter, Russell R. Johnson, W. H. Jackson, R. E. Conte, Clarence Mell. Pendleton, Charles L. Brown, Roger B. Johnson, William Harris, and Bernard Holmes.
The cool weather also kept away many of the cottagers, the majority of them remaining in their steam-heated Washington houses.
Mrs. Arthur F. Thomas, of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Patterson, and Mrs. Cora Piper were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Reid.
Highland Beach has embarked upon an extensive program of street improvement. A considerable sum of money is being spent in straightening and grading the principal thoroughfares of the community, and the installation of wooden and concrete curbing is being pushed. Richard Ware has augmented the street lighting facilities by installing an electric lamp in front of his hotel for the convenience of guests arriving after dark.
The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Goins, on the shores of Oyster Creek, promises to be one of the show spots of the community. Besides being of architectural interest as a splendid example of a seaside dwelling, the cottage is surrounded by extensive flower beds containing many rare and beautiful plants. Mrs. Goins, who is well-known as a lover of flowers, has more than fifty rose bushes and sixteen varieties of lilies in her garden, while numerous perennial plants bid fair to make this beauty spot a riot of color as the season advances. Of particular interest is an enormous apple tree, whose aged scars have been carefully covered with concrete to prolong its life.
THE THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH
The rally will continue until further notice as several members haven't made their reports on the rally.

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

THE TWILIGHT HOUR
By Milton Brighte
Ah, wondrous is the twilight hour
When little children play
With laughter ringing down upon
The stillness of the day.
There down that floral garden path
Where beauty never fades.
Play little lily maids.
Play note thy malus.
They dance unheedful of the hour,
Yet soon each golden head,
Each little eye will rest in sleep
Upon a downy bed.
I know where other children play
Within the twilight hours,
To me more beautiful than they
That play amidst the flow're.
Brown with a golden glow upon
Each smiling little face;
They wander down the dirty ways
And know no other place.
By Bessie Brent Madison
Look at life squarely, don't stumble nor falter,
Come face to face with it, come heart to heart;
Get in the thrill of it, taking your fill of it;
Playing your part.
Owning the need of its strict discipline.
Striving to conquer its enemy, Sin.
Earth overflows with the idle and brainless.
Hearts ever ready to sound the retreat;
Give of your might to it, stand for the right of it.
Know no defeat.
Walking in paths that are honest and true.
Faithfully doing whatever you do.
The noblest, the best, and the truest that's in you.
Give that to life, it is what she desires:
Take with the gain of it, some of the pain of it;
Love's fuel feed to faith's fast dying fire;
With your two fishes and five leaves of bread,
Thousands who stand on life's shore may be fed.

Several classes from Garnet-Patterson School went to the National Museum, Friday, of last week. My class was among these. When we entered the museum we saw signs reading "Negro Art Exhibit." The pieces of sculpture were all the work of Mrs. May Howard Jackson. We understood all these works perfectly because our teacher had explained them before we left school. "Brotherhood," one of her pieces of sculpture, showed the Saviour holding in his arms a Negro child and a white child. Among the pieces were "A Mullato Mother," "Resurrection," her husband, Mr. Jackson, and a striking resemblance of Dean Kelly Miller.
There were many paintings, but the one that attracted my eye was a painting of a Negro mother in which the artist has so well succeeded in blending the harmony of light and dark in paints that it was pleasant to see. It reminded one very much of Whitler's painting, "My Mother." There was one in which the artist had merely dabbled on three or four different bright colors, but it had been done in such a way as to make a very effective design.
This exhibit really gave anyone who saw it a perfect idea of the Negro's progress in art.
