CAPT FISHING BOA LAKE AT HI
Were Making Desperate Fight for Life in Water Before Rescue Came
Thrown into twelve feet of muddy water by the captizing of their boat. Captain Arthur C. Newman and Fred Pelham narrowly escaped drowning in Oyster Lake, Maryland, last Sunday. Only the prompt assistance of neighbors prevented a possible tragedy. Newman, and Pelham were seeking suitable fishing grounds in the lake when the accident occurred. Neither was able to explain the cause of the upset, but it was believed to have been due by efforts of one of the pair to dislodge his fishing line which had become entangled in seaweed. Because of the rank growth of seaweed which abounds in the vicinity, swimming was impossible, and they clung to the sides of their water-filled craft until help reached them. Their plight was first observed by Mrs. Frances DeSales Miller, who was seated on the porch of her cottage on the shore of the lake. Her cries brought to the spot Boynton Milton, son of Prof. Samuel H. Milton. Young Milton in turn summoned J. Parker Gillem, who rowed out and brought Newman and Pelham ashore.
Oyster Lake skirts the shores of Venice Beach, Md. and empties in the inshore Bay about one-half mile south of Highland Beach.

REPRESENTATIVE D'PRIEST ENGAGED IN SHARP TILT OVER USE OF WORD "WHITE"
MRS. WILLIAMS WINS DIVORCE
Court Holds John R. Williams Had Not Obtained Legal Divorce
Mrs. Capitola Williams, pretty Freedman's Hospital stenograhner, was awarded an interlocutory decree of annulment of her marriage to John R. Williams, 1816 S street, northwest, by Justice Jennings Bailey, in equity court last Thursday. Mrs. Williams claimed that Johnnie, as he was once popularly called, had deceived her in representing that he was legally divorced from his former wife, Mrs. Frances Starks Williams.
Two weeks after they had gone through a marriage ceremony at Rockville, Md., a divorce decree that Johnnie had obtained in the district court of Wyandotte, Kansas, was set aside. Mrs. Williams asserted. Johnnie withheld knowledge of the action of the court from her, Mrs. Williams said, and permitted her to go on living with him as his wife until she discovered among his papers the decree setting aside his divorce.
The defense contended that Johnnie's first wife had been granted a divorce in Detroit, Mich., May 17, 1923, after his divorce had been set aside and that the second marriage was validated. This defense was rejected by the court.
Mrs. Williams was awarded custody of a minor child, John R. Williams, Jr., aged 5 years.

consideration by unanimous consen-
t a resolution amending an appropriation for the construction

day school within the Turtle Mountain
Indian Reservation in North
Dakota.
"Mr. Speaker, reserving the
right to object, I notice the language in the bill is 'white children.'
Are there any black children in
that territory there?"
Representative Louis C. Cramton,
Republican, of Michigan, in
charge of the bill, replied, "I think not.
I have not heard of any."
"It simply means non-Indians,
interposed Representative John Q.
Tilson, Republican, of Connecticut,
the majority leader.
"But that is not what it says,"
argued Mr. DePriest.
"I never heard of any," replied
Mr. Cramton. "I was up there and
I am sure there are none. There
are some that get pretty dark."
"I know, and there are a lot of
dark ones all around here," said
Mr. DePriest, "but because of the
way in which the bill reads I have
reserved the right to object, and I do object."
Mr. Cramton asked him to withhold his objection for a moment. "Let me make this suggestion: I (Continued on page 2)

doubt whether there is anyone in this House," he declared, "including the gentleman from Illinois, who has taken a more active interest in education for the Negro race than I have through my handling of appropriations for Howard University for the last nine years. Year by year I have battled for that appropriation. The gentleman can get confirmation of that very easily. There is no discrimination here. This is an attempt to provide proper education for every child in that township. We do not say anything about the Chinese, because there are no Chinese there, and we do not say anything about Negroes, because there are none there."
"To the best of the gentleman's knowledge there are none there," Mr. DePriest added.
"But I have been there," explained Mr. Cramton. "and I have made an investigation of the situation there. I went three for that purpose. If the gentleman finds there are any Negroes there, they will be taken care of." "Mr. Speaker," said Mr. DePriest ending the debate, "that is assurance enough for me. I withdraw the objection." The word "white children," however remained in the bill.

He beat and mistreated her in 1918, to such an extent, she alleges, that it affected her mind and she was committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital for treatment.
Mitchell is employed at the city post office, his wife says, and earns more than $100 a month. He owns the home in which he is living at the Lee street address and other property, most of which was obtained with her aid, she states. She asks the court to grant her a limited divorce, alimony and counsel fees. The couple was married in 1909. Mrs. Mitchell is represented by Attorneys Henry A. Brown and W. P. Canady.

TEACHER KILLS SNAKE THAT THREATENS CHILDREN
CHARLES COUNTY. Md.—A little pluck saved Miss Mabel Cook and her small pupils from the attack of a large black snake which atterted to cross the road when Miss Cook was accompanying some of the smaller children home. The little band of school children and their teacher were going home through the woods, when the snake appeared in the road. Miss Cook commanded her pupils to stand back while she looked for a stick with which to kill the reptile. The snake withdrew into the woods, only to appear nearer the children than before.
He rose as if ready to strike, opening his mouth and flashing his fangs. Miss Cook struck him a terrible blow over the head as he turned back into the woods, and then rained blows to his head until he lay lifeless. Farmers of the vicinity, upon examining the snake, say that it is one of the largest seen in this section for years. Miss Cook is well known in Washington and also in Charles County, Maryland, where she is the principal of the Oak Grove School.

House Destroyed by Flames; Owner Away
LINCOLN, Md.—A fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the home of W. A. Davis Sunday morning, June 2, at 2 o'clock. The building had been used as a hotel during the early life of the village of Lincoln, it being a very large structure containing many rooms. For a number of years Mr. Davis conducted a store and gas supply station there, until the opening of the new Defense Highway at Vista, Md., when he moved his store and living quarters to that place.
At the time of the fire, the house was occupied by John Jenifer and his family, and a sister of Mr. Davis, Mrs. Rosie Lewis. They were all asleep, but due to the illness of Mr. Jenifer, he was easily awakened by the sound of falling objects in the store room of the house. When he went down stairs and opened the door to the room flames rushed out upon him and it was with much difficulty that he was able to again ascend the stairs to arouse the sleeping members of his family and Mrs. Lewis. They just succeeded in getting out of the house before the stairway was a mass of flames.
The fire company from Glendale responded to the call for help and rendered noble service, but were unable to do more than save the out buildings. The flames spread to the railroad station and it was necessary for the firemen to divide their time in order to save it.
The loss was complete as to building and furniture and was only partly covered by insurance. Mr. Davis was in Chicago on a week-end trip at the time of the fire.

Says Child Is Permanently Injured. Accident Occurred March 3
Suit for $10,000 damages was filed against Miss Kellene E. and Alice P. Lewis, sisters, 1987 Thirteenth street, northwest, and Dr. William Wallace Andrews, Jr. 1314 V street northwest, in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday, by Melissa Cook, aged 7 years, through her father, Ralph M. Cook, 2208 Thirteenth street, northwest. The declaration alleges that through the carelessness and negligence of the defendants or in violation of an ordinance which gives pedestrians the right of way at street intersections, the child was struck by an automobile in which the Misses Lewises and Dr. Andrews were riding. The child was permanently injured as a result of the accident, it is alleged. She had three teeth knocked out and suffered bruises of her legs and hips. Doctors, medicine and hospital treatment were expensive, it is claimed.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Thirteenth and W streets, northwest, March 3, last. The child was crossing the street from her home. She was going to a store. The three defendants had just left the Lewis home. Dr. Andrews was driving. The automobilis belonged to the Lewises. Both the child and her father brought suit in the municipal court of the District of Columbia for $1,000 damages each. The child used for the injuries she sustained. The father sued on account of the expense he underwent for doctors, medicine and hospital treatment for the child. After the trial of the suits before Judge George C. Augam, a non-suit was asked for granted and as a sequence the suit for $10,000 damages was filed in the District Supreme Court.
Misses Kellene E. and Alice P. Lewis and Dr. Andrews are prominent in Washington society. The two young women are quite accomplished. They are teachers in the District public schools. They are esthetic dancers, having attended the Mabal Jones School of Dancing. Both are good tennis players
and excellent swimmers. They are the daughters of Mrs. Audie G. Lewis, an annual substitute in the public schools. They summer at Highland Beach, Md. Dr. Andrews graduated from the Howard University Medical School, June 7. He is one of the best known members of his class. His home is in Jacksonville, Fla. He is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He will be an interne in a hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright and Philip Ershler represent the child. The firm of Howard & Hayes will represent the defendants.

HOMES OVER THE NATION
Sx
By Norman L. McGhee
In the opinion of Mrs. Salle W.
Stewart, National President of the
Association of Colored Women, the
most serious problem facing’ the
Colored women of the United
States is the lack of adequate faci-
lities for the protection of that
large number of Colored girls who
find themselves compelled to seek
employment in the large cities of
this country. A brief survey of
prevailing conditions under which
they live in.the cities throughout
the United States convineed her of
thig problem.
The spectacle of young Colored
girls alone in. these cities, away
from home environment, and living
in rooming houses and boarding
houses where the single and pri-
mary interest of those in charge is
that they pay the weekly or month-
Iy room and board bill set her
thinking. Something simply must
be done else Negro womanhood is
doomed, she concluded.
Tn Cleveland, Ohio, she found the
Phillis Wheatley Association,—the
dream ‘come true of that remark-
able woman, Jane E. Hunter—an
institution Which was the product
of an idea,
| And what a notable institution
this woman has builded. In brick
ey mortar, it represents some
F $800,000, but in service to thou-
sands of girls who receive the
friendly smile, helping hand, and
wholesome association to be had
within its doors, its real worth can
not be easily reckoned.
Realizing that this great. insti-
[tation was but the lengthened
shadow of Jane E. Hunter, its
der, forthwith Mrs. Stewart
fisted her aid. Here in Cleveland,
Obio, she said, is the type of insti-
jn I should like to see dupli-
in every city of the United
5.
“As a result, there has sprang
‘Into existence the Phillis Wheatley
Department of the National Asso-
eigtion of Colored Women with
‘Jane E. Hunter, chairman, and
regional chairmen as follow:
Southeastern District, Mrs. Emma
Mosley; Central District, Miss
Georgia. Walliams; Northwestern
istrict, Mrs. Dolly Paries; South-
western District, Mrs. R. B. Sneed,
‘the Northeastern District has not
been given a chairman as yet.
From nearly every state in the
Union, encouraging reports have
come. from these state presidents,
offering thei: assistance to cooper-
ate in every way possible. They
have also appointed splendid wom-
en in tho various states to make a
survey and help in establishing the
Phillis Wheatley Department,
Immediately upon being ap-
pointed to head this department,
Miss Hunter issued the following
statement:
“In every city and town there
myst and will be a Phillis Wheat-
ley House. A club house that shall
be owned atid operated by the local
glubs that are members of the
National Association of Colored
Women. The purpose shall be to
give protection, boarding home fa-
cilities. and helpful advice to girls
travelling from one city to another.
‘The house will glso serve the dou-
Ble purpose of housing juniors. If
‘Weare to attract our younger
gizls, we must provide larger rec-
Feational opportunties.””
Concurrent with publication of
this appeal, considerable corre-
spondence was had with Colored
women leaders all over the coun-
try. | Responses from these leaders
reveal that everywhere unanimous
approval has been given tho plan
far the establishment. of Phillis
‘Wheatley Homes.

By Ed Lawson
Poor Eddie Tolan!
Tolan, you knew, is the bespectacled, stumpy little runner who only a few weeks ago scampered along the cinder path to break the all time record for the hundred-yard dash.
For many moons others have put forth their sincerest efforts in trying to beat the record of 9.6, held by Charlie Drew, Eddie Paddock, and several others. For years man has striven to run just one-tenth of a second faster than he ever had before.
Then came Tolan. Tolan was little—tiny—beside the other runners. He had to have a pair of eyeglasses taped on when he ran. He was up against such men as George Simpson and other peerless runners who have won for themselves places in the spotlight.
But Tolan had faith in himself. Against all his opposition—in spite of the fact that he was tiny beside his opponents, in spite of the fact that he wore glasses; in spite of the fact that he was unknown—Tolan went out to win.
And Tolan won, not only the race against his opponents, but against that great unseen runner, time. His record of 9.5 seconds had never been paralleled or excelled. He was the world's fastest human.
But uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Tolan had accomplished the feat of a lifetime. If his time had never been reached by any runner before, what chance did it have of being equal or excelled now? His record should have stood for many years.
But fate is a fickle being. Within the same week that Tolan had crashed into glory as the world's fastest human, fate let him down. A week of glory was his share, where others had stood for years. It seemed almost cruel. It was only Saturday, two weeks ago, that Tolan went out to set his phenomenal record. Yet, only last Saturday, another young boy went out to beat it. George Simpson was his name. A fine, strong, athletic young fellow, he possessed none of the bandiacus of Tolan.
Tolan had beaten him a week before. If Tolan could run the hundred in record time, Simpson had to run it in better than record time. Simpson did. He set a new record, uncrowned Tolan, and set himself up as the world's fastest human. Tolan put forth another of his best performances that at any other time would have equaled or set a new world's record. But Simpson put forth a little more effort than ever before, and snatched away Tolan's record of a week's standing.
We congratulate Simpson on his feat. We hope that his record will have better luck than Tolan's. But there is always the thought that Tolan can do what Simpson did, and go out again after his record.
We hope he can, and will.

THREE STRAIGHT
Treasury made it three straight wins this time at the expense of Government Printing Office, 7-4.
Beckwith, the crippled twirler, after getting away to a bad start, had the Pritners at his mercy, getting stronger as the game progressed. The bunting game of G. P.O., playing to Beckwith's weakness was a failure as all went straight to him and were easy outs at first.
Manager Hughes was on the mound for G.P.O., and although granting only 6 hits and striking out 8, lost due to 5 errors being charged to his mates.

AGGIES HOLD LEAD
One of the biggest upsets has been the sudden collapse of the Navy Yard team, who early in the season was feared and respected by all, but all of a sudden cracked. The remaining fight seems certain to be between Agriculture, G.P.O., and Veterans Bureau, Treasury and Navy Yard out of the running. Mills of G.P.O., has taken the batting crown with .571, followed in order by Grant, Agriculture, 476; Briscoe, Veterans Bureau, 470; Jones, Navy Yard, 444, and Williams, Treasury, .350.

Veterans Bureau evidently was of the opinion that the Disarmament Congress was still in session, as they all but scrapped the Navy to the tune of 16-I, only darkness preventing a larger score. Navy Yard presented a crippled line-up and Fenwick had to remain as no other pitcher was available. The Vets collected 12 hits with 3 bases on balls, and a balk, netting 16 runs. Venson had an easy time, giving way to Plummer under a big lead. Gibson again hit for the circuit with the bases loaded.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JUNE 14. 1929
SCHOOL CLUB HOLDS OUTING
SCHOOL CLUB HOLDS OUTING
The annual outing of the School Club of Washington, D.C., was held Saturday. June 8, at Highland Beach, Md. Sixteen members and friends began the day and twenty-five were present ere the day was over. All of the men were made to engage in horse-shoe pitching marble games, and rifle practice. On account of the wet weather the bal lgames were called off.
After breakfast, the members embarked in row-boats for the Y. W.C.A. camp at the head waters of Walnut Lake. There they saw the tremendous Eagle's nest that is located on the grounds. Horseshoe pitching, rifle shooting and marble playing began.
Semi-finalists in the horse-shoot pitching were Bruce, Henderson, Smith, Wormley. Finalists were Smith and Wormley, with Smith winning the deciding game and a very handsome silver cigar lighter was awarded him In the marble play off, Savoy, Bruce Bailey, Henderson, Wormley and Clark demonstrated their ancient day proclivities on their knees. John Bruce proved to be the best collector of allies and won with it, a splendid sport tie. In shooting ten shots at a target Major Atwood proved best by scoring 44 points as against 43 for Charley Thomas, and 41 for Bob Mattingly. A flashlight was his memento of victory.
Fishing and crabbing with McDuffie coming in on the long end of the crabbing count featured the early afternoon outdoor sports, while cards before the fireplace of Henderson's was the indoor activity. Among those present were Messrs, Wilkinson, Long, Turner Holmes, Lewis, Brewer, Bruce Mattingly, Thomas, Smith, Clarke MacDuffie, Bailey, Cardozo, Wormley, Cupid, Savoy, Nalle, Russell Atwood, Young, Dwight and Mrs Holmes, Walker, of the Tribune, and Dr. Clarke.
HORNETS TAKE COUPLE FROM BLACK SOX
The Washington Black Sox dropped a pair of games to the Hornets, 1-0 and 8-5. The first game was very closely played, the only run being scored in the second frame, when the Hornets put one through for a tally. Carter, pitcher on the Hornets team, held the Black Sox runless throughout the entire game.
The second game was a little more of a hitfest, especially in the ninth inning, when each team staged a rally, the Hornets getting five runs to three for the Sox.

SPEAKING OF SPORTS
SPEAKING OF SPORTS
By E. B. Henderson
There is a fast growing notion that athletics should be returned to the boys, who are students in our educational institutions. Many undergraduate bodies are rebelling against undue influence of alumni in sports. Recently, the Cornell Sun resented an investigation headed by old grads to bring about an improvement of football teams at Cornell. The undergraduates suggested that the old grads mind their own business, if any. There are many educators and athletic coaches who believe that most of the evils of the athletic systems in college are traceable to old grads. The matter of proselyting, for example, would never occur to undergraduates. The student body is saner with reference to the emphasis upon victories than old grads providing the coaches and the heads of institutions have kept abreast of modern educational thinking.
DIAMOND DUST
The Black Hornet of North Carolina presented to the Washington public one of the best balanced amateur teams of the country. They played last Sunday at Union League Park. The second baseman and a pitcher by the name of Coleman show possibilities of playing a higher grade of ball in the near future. The traveling Mackey, Gardner, and Carr will be eligible for service on their respective teams by June 24. The aged Ben Taylor, aged leader of the Bacharachs of Atlantic City, will bring his 1929 team to Washington next Saturday, the 15th, for a one-night stand against Simon Sheffield's youngsters. The Dallas team, leaders of the Oklahoma and Louisiana League, have on their team an efficient ambidextrous pitcher.
About the hardest team to beat in the American Negro League is John Henry Lloyd's Lincoln. "Oom" Paul Stevens, who was traded to the Homestead Grays, plays with Danny McCallans's Philadelphia Giants. Peter Washington, diminutive outfielder for the Baltimore Black Sox, is hitting at a merry gait.
Scripton Lee, underhand pitcher of the Baltimore team, is staging a neat comeback this year. The Detroit Stars are showing more fight and spirit than any other team in the National League, with one exception, the St. Louis Stars. Bell, centerfield for the St. Louis Stars, is one of the fastest men in the game today. Judson Wilson, of the Baltimore Black Sox, is hitting them off at a tremendous clip. The Anacostia A. C. Juniors, district champions, will journey to Baltimore, Sunday, June 23, to play the fast Zonta nine, champions of Baltimore. The game will take place at 2 o'clock at Druid Hill Park.
By defeating the Kenilworth Tigers and the Monarch Juniors, the Anacostians added two more victims to their already long list. They have challenged the Spartans and the Riversiders to a second game.
A bus will leave Anacostia at 10:30 a.m. next Sunday to go to the Baltimore game. All persons interested are invited to go.

The Cornell Sun argues that the old grads are well meaning. They would like to see the students take greater interest in their athletics, but the truth is, the students don't have teams anymore. They belong to the alumni, the graduate manager, and to the coach. The students of today are not less interested in sorts. On the contrary intra-mural sports are growing apace. More students are playing tennis, baseball, football, soccer, lacross, basketball, and golf, or swimming or running or jumping, than ever before. On that score the alumni are wrong.
Alumni in many instances have rendered great service to the boys by backing up athletic endeavors or by making gifts to schools. This is well and good. They err in trying to drag athletics back into a school of thought whose roots are dying. Sports are defended in schools because they are splendid media for developing health possibilities and character traits. If any influence is used to emphasize victories to the extent that health is consciously damaged or mucker character traits are developed, athletics are a positive source of harm. There are those who say that some phases of our corrupt political government and high class gang criminality are products of our one-man controlled athletic machine where individuals are trained to do the will of the alumni or coach for the sake of victory at a sacrifice of finer element s of sportsmanship and honesty.
College prestige by reason of football victory is no longer desirable or necessary. State championships in high school circles in New York and other states have been abolished. Captains of teams in many places are now given full power over their teams on the field except in the case of injuries. Any system that permits praise to players who deal in dirty maiming play, that I have witnessed only too frequently in some college football, is opposed to modern educational practice. The Cornell Sun admits that Cornell seems to have lost football prestige, and says, in effect, "What of it?" It is not important as

ARMSTRONG WINS MEET
ARMSTRONG WINS MEET
The Interscholastic track and field meet in which Dunbar High School and Armstrong High School were dual competitors and the finals of the Junior High School relays resulted in victory for Armstrong athletes in the senior and the Shaw Junior athletes in the junior divisions of the games.
Armstrong was victor by a score of 62 2-3 points to 17 1-3 points by Dunbar, while the junior athletes scorde as follows: Shaw, 59 1-3; Randall, 53 1-4; Francis, 28 1-3.
The times for the events run are only approximate because of the poor condition and insufficient measurement of the track used. It is hoped that this will be the last year of poor track conditions for colored high school boys in the District. Junior High athletes running in the relays proved the thrill of the day's events. The meet was marred by the presence of too many coaches and teachers usurping the positions on the field intended for officials.
The summaries are as follows:
Senior High Events

220 Yards—Won by Jackson, A.; second, Johnson, A.; third Henry, A.
440 Yards—Won by Jackson, A.; second, Settle, D.; third, Wilkins, D.
880 Yards—Won by Lee, A.; second, Belfeld, A.; third, Dinald, D. Running high jump—Won by R. Jones, A.; second, tie between Wallace and Marshall, of Armstrong and T. Jones, of Dunbar. Height, 4 ft. 11 in. Running broad jump—Won by long as we are having our fun. The universities exist for the students and not primarily to afford spectacles for outsiders.
Presidents of our colored schools are beginning to see the value of football and other contests as means, second to none, for developing youth for virile citizenry. Bigger physical education resources are being secured. Coaches and physical educators who have been trained professionally for the job are being made members of the faculty. Alumni who have the interest of the college youth at heart will support these efforts and although thrilling with victories, will not lend the weight of their influence to undo the efforts of the greater part of the educational plant.

In one of the most thrilling games of the season, Dunbar defeated Cardozo in the final high school championship game of the season. The game was played last Tuesday on the Walker Stadium. Dunbar scored one run in the first inning, and Cardozo came back with two in the second frame. In the third, Dunbar ran up five tallies, and then Cardozo came back with four, tying the score. Both were held runless in the fourth, but Dunbar put across two in the fifth and managed to hold Cardozo down. In the sixth Cardozo started a rally, which only netted them one run, and the team blew up, allowing Dunbar to score five runs in the seventh and five in the eighth, making the final score 18-7.
Most of Dunbar's effectiveness was due to its two pitchers, Hand and Jones. In the second inning, with three men on base, Jones relieved Hand and struck out the next three men in succession, retiring the side.
In the ninth, Jones walked two men. A fluke single filled the bases. Hand was sent in to pitch with one out and the bases loaded. The first pitched ball was socked out to right field, where Jones made a spectacular running catch of the fly and then doubled up on the man who had left first, thus ending the game.
Dunbar has put in a claim for the championship on the basis of their wins against Armstrong and Cardozo, and, if this claim is accepted, it will be the first time in eight years that Dunbar has won the baseball series.

‘The Howardettes are going
away! Charles Ray is leaving this
week.. Bob (Uke) Williams is go-
ing to visit his mother and father
next week. The Howard band is
leaving for New York. Galli de
Gaston is going to take the week
off and go sight-seeing.
That inimitable gang of funsters
that have livened up the Howard
stage ever since last January is
packing up its trunks and, like the
Arabs, is silently stealing away.
The entire show is headed for the
city of bright lights, New York.
What's going to happen to the
Howard? Youd never guess. It
is going to have the one and only
super-producer, Irvin C. Miller.
Irvin's coming down with his whole
gang from New York, and he's
going to put on bigger and better
shows for the dear public who
shove their half-dollars into the
ticket window.
Right off the bat, Miller's shoot-
ing us a good one (all of Miller's
shows are good) in the form of
“Junior Blackbirds.” It ought. to
be good with such entertainers as
Pearl McCormick, Troy Brown, and
Evelyn Keyes. Ralph Cooper is
master of ceremonies for Miller,
and oh, boy, can't he master those
ceremonies.
Dandridge Back
And then along comes Putney
Dandridge, the popular boy: of the
last outfit. Not a few tears were
shed, the Howard press pappas let
us Know, when Putney was fired.
The poor teachers got their hot
razzing from the “Constant Read:

papers. And then it all died down,
and Putney was'no more. But he’

|Rand made its initial broadcast
lover Station WMAL last Satur-
|day night. ‘They presented a pro-
gram of popular dance music, and
leven before the end of the broad-
cast period requests began to pour
into the studio for others.
To meet some of these requests,
the time was extended one-half
hour, so that they broadcasted
from 11 to 12:30. To have a broad-
cast period extended is a distine-
tion that very few bands have en-

~The orchestra, composed of mem-
bers from Dunbar, Cardozo and
Armstrong high schools, and led
by Mr. Grant, presented a program
of classical and popular music, in-
‘terspersed with songs and dances
‘by members of the physical train-
ing classes, in their first major re-
cital of the year.
‘The program opened with three
classical renditions by the orches-
tra, followed by several semi-clas-
‘sics by the Armstrong girls’ glee
‘club. Several other orchestral se-
lections followed, after which Wil-
liam Cook, the boy tenor from Dun-
bar, scored a great hit with a
group of three songs. He was as-
sisted by the boys" octette and sev-
eral boy sopranos.
“Lullaby Moon,” by the boys’
glee club, and two orchestral se-
lections completed the first half of
the program. During the inter-
mission, Franklin Fletcher, of Dun-
bar, thrilled the audience with his
rendition of White's “Nobody
Knows the Trouble I See.”
‘The second part featured song:
and dances by modern authors, in-
cluding “If Love Were All,” by
the chorus and orchestra; '“The
Side-walks of New York,” “Swa
nee River,” danced by giels in over
alls; the “Orientale” of Russia, and
the Minuet of France. Especially
pleasing in this section was th
work of Bernice Bill, who realls
sings, and Henry Johnson, who tal
dances exceptionally wel.
William Cook was then ealled or

"AM I MY BROTHERS' KEEPER?"
With Howard University graduating 287, Dunbar High sending out 200, Armstrong High, 100; Cardozo Business High, 15; Shaw Junior High, 100; Francis Junior High, 112; Randall Junior High, 50; Margaret Washington Vocational, 37; and the night schools graduating 113 from high school, and 143 from elementary schools, making a grand total of 1,166 graduates from the schools of Washington, the question with the majority of them is, "Where can I secure a position?"
One hundred and one of these are professional men and women, which means that they have selected their field of endeavor and are seeking a location.
There remains 1,065. A big question confronts both them and you, York, Chicago, and the numerous schools of the south, the question is "Am I my brother's keeper?"
This is only one city. When we think of Atlanta, Nashville, New York, Chicago, and the numerous schools of the south, the question is multiplied by just that many.
"Commencement" is the proper word and hundreds of graduates will soon realize it, in many cases, with regret. This old world is a cold, unsympathetic and serious age on which to play the great game of life. The parent might well ask, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
Every parent who has a son or daughter among this year's graduates here in Washington, or throughout the country, should ask himself or herself this question: "Can my child be inspired to enter the commercial world, and feel the least assurance of succeeding by securing the patronage of my people, because of the example which I have set? Or, have they reason to believe that because of my attitude toward colored enterprises, my trading with the other fellow, my decrying the efforts of my people, my praising the efforts and accomplishments of the other fellow, my passing a colored enterprise, where my own people are employed, to patronize the white man thereby cutting out the possibility of employment of my own child and my friend's child; can they, by such forceful examples, feel that they will receive support?"
The professors, principals and teachers can profitably ask themselves this question: "Have I set the proper example of race pride by patronizing and encouraging our business men and women? Can my students be inspired by my example to believe in race patronage to the extent that they desire to enter the commercial or industrial field because of their faith in me? Do I, by my example of depositing my check in a white bank and patronizing all white stores, discourage my students? 'Am I my brother's keeper?'"
The graduate may ask this question: "What have I done in the way of encouraging Negro business and thereby make an opening for myself? Have I patronized my own enterprises or the other fellow's?"
We must establish and foster more commercial and industrial enterprises for our own economic welfare; for our own preservation. There are as many colored people in these United States as there are Jews in all the world. The Jew gives due consideration to his religious obligations and educates his children; but he has stressed the economic side of life as well and as a result his influence is felt in all of the commercial centers of the world. Our fight is an economic one. We have but few enterprises, far too few, to even inspire a child to seek a business education, nor do we patronize those we have, which would prove that we would not support our children if they should enter business.
It is indeed hard to understand the colored man's psychology when it comes to racial patronage of a commercial or industrial enterprise. There are so many petty things that loom up so large with him. He feels that he must take his home, social, fraternal, and religious affairs into his commercial life, any one of which may become a liability rather than an asset.
"Am I my brother's keeper?" Has your patronage of any given institution warranted a position for your child? Does your support of the colored banks warrant your going there for assistance in helping establish your son or daughter in a business of his or her own, or will your money on deposit in the white banks be used to employ-hundreds of white graduates?
A LESSON FROM CONGRESSMAN OWEN
The vote of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, Congresswoman from Florida, and her explanation of it is a telling example for the Negro to break away from "dyed in the wool Republicanism," and keep march with the progress of the times.
On three different occasions her father, William Jennings Bryan, ran for President on the democrat ticket, on a platform of no protective tariff. Here is his daughter, coming up from a free tariff state of the south, and casts her vote in the 71st Congress for the highest tariff ever proposed in the history of this country. But times have changed. Her father ran against McKinley on a free tariff platform in 1896, about 33 years ago. The country has been through two wars and entugged upon the electrical and auto age since then.
In answer to a question about her father's attitude toward the tariff as compared with her own, Mrs. Owen replied: "Any comparison between my attitude toward the tariff and my father's would be invidious. He was here 39 years ago representing Nebraska. I am here in 1929 representing Florida. It would be impossible to draw a fair comparison without an exhaustive treatment of changed conditions and different party attitudes."
And so it is with the Republican party of Lincoln's time and today. "Changed conditions and different party attitudes" have practically eliminated the Negro and he should assert his manhood, think for himself and vote likewise.

Plan for Business League
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Members of the Indianapolis Better Business League met recently at the Y.M.C.A. and accepted plans offered by several committees which had been appointed to entertain the National Negro Business League which meets in this city the week of August 12. Among some of the things planned to arouse local interest in the forthcoming meeting was a traveling exhibit comprised of photographs of several local businesses which were be shown in leading churches in several different sections of town, a city-wide trade exhibit and fair the first week in June at the Y.M.C.A.; a city-wide membership campaign, when business and pro-

cessional men as well as every one interested in any way in the development of Negro business was asked to join the league. Attention was directed to the importance of this national meeting in that it will attract to the city outstanding men and women in the business world and the fact that this is the first meeting to be held since the National survey, which cost the League some fifteen thousand dollars, has been completed. The analysis of this survey will be presented and conclusions for future work made. All Indianapolis will be expected to play a role in the entertainment of this important meeting and the local league expects to carry the significance of the meeting to the people.
GRIST FOR THE MILL
By W. M. Merck
Married life is just another game of chance:
Shall we keep on getting married,
Or have an Eugenic child
Alimony is the beginning,
Divorces are the end;
We swear if we're ever single,
We will never marry again.
Supreme Rights
The United States Supreme Court ruled the other day that Negroes may be Shriners. The decision was handed down by Justice Van Devanter who intimated the colored lodge imitated the white lodge. True, brother, true. They wore the same kind of hats, the same kind of coats, and the same kind of shoes, and some times the same hats, coats and shoes.
Pigeons
I see by the papers that college boys are refusing jobs as government informers. I don't blame them. It is dangerous to be a stool pigeon when innocent little carriers some times get shot.
A. Bed Fit
A certain gentleman who had just purchased a new suit of clothes which did not look at all pleasing on him to his wife, suddenly became very ill while dolled up in his new front.
A doctor was called. "Doctor,jes what you think is wrong wid my husben." asked the disgusted wife. "Why'er, mam, it looks as if he has an epileptic fit."
"See dere, I told him that crazy tailer done messed him up."
Congressman Speaks
"I will not vote one dime for prohibition unless the 14th and 15th amendments are carried in the appropriation," said Mr. DePriest in his home town address the other day. Well, they are both there, Oscar—enforcement prohibition, and prohibition enforcement.

Roland Hayes is on his European tour. He is rapidly becoming the most famous tenor of the world today. He is the only singer who has made three appearances at Symphony Hall in Boston in one season, and at Carnegie Hall in New York. Fritz Kreisler alone shares the honor with Hayes at Carnegie Hall.
Being upbraided by Senator Fess of Ohio, for voting for the farm deventure bill and against Hoover, Senator Borah said: "I voted . . . according to my long-settled convictions. I would not know how to vote otherwise. I am sure that Mr. Hoover did not assume for a moment that by my support I was changing my views on public questions or surrendering the right to form them. Only a base class of intellectual slaves would entertain or promulgate such an idea." How many "intellectual slaves" have we who blindly follow the Republican party regardless of their own conviction?
New Orleans is to have a new Y. M. C. A. building if the drive now under way succeeds. Mr. Rosenwald has promised his $25,000. New Orleans, the largest city in the south, had an hundred thousand Negro population long before New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, or Baltimore, but it will be the last one to get a modern "Y." building. "Always behind" and "way down South." are rather synonymous.
"Would you marry a Negro?" was asked of Mrs. Ralph Linton, the wife of a professor in Madison, Wis., and a former southerner. She said, "Yes, other things being equal." She is of the opinion that we are so "mixed racially" that it is foolish to even discuss amalgamation.
"No Negroes allowed." You would think this sign would be found in Dixie. But the sentiment and prejudice of the "rebel South" has conquered the former "liberal north," and the above phrase is the sentiment of Alloway, N.J. The postmaster was recently shot there trying to enforce this sentiment upon a woman of alleged Negro blood.
The 24th Infantry, stationed at Fort Bennings, Ga., won the regimental marksmanship team championship match in contest with 20 teams in the United States Army.

POETS' CORNER
A PRAYER
By Ben N. Azikiwe
(An African student at Howard)
We humbly kneel to say our prayers,
To thee, Jehovah King;
Because with thee we have no fears
Guide us in all our ways.
From evil friends, from deadly sins,
May we, Oh God, depart;
On us thy grace impart.
In reverence do we humbly bow,
Forgive, dear Lord, forgive;
Fling open wide, thy golden gate,
That we with thee may live.
And when thy judgment day is
come,
According to thy will,
Redeem thy souls in heathendom,
Thy promise now fulfill.
MEDITATION
By Frances M. Ellis
Have I been a little better today than yesterday?
Have I made the light of love shine brighter?
Have I given the tired and weary a smile?
Have I made life a little bit sweeter?
Have I prayed more earnestly to God,
That more like His Son I might be
Have I kept my eyes on the Cross,
That only the good I might see?
If not, dear God, have I done these things,
Wilt Thou forgive me now?
Take me, gently by my hand,
And slowly teach me how.
GARDEN OF LOVE
By Frederick A. Harris
Unto the things that smile,
And forget trouble awhile.
There are the roses red.
Hanging over my head,
With fragrance sweet
Awaiting you to greet.
It's just a little garden
Where all is forgotten;
A cozy place
Where lovers embrace.
CONGRESSMAN DePRIEST
By (Mrs.) Susie A. Fouutaine
Congressman Oscar DePriest has won the day
Reached United States Congress without delay.
He is the right man in the right place
To prove this fact, give him a few days of grace.
DePriest took his seat without a dissenting word.
He was bunched with a griup that were not deterred;
Speaker Longworth was responsible for such a wise move,
The southern contingent retired in an angry mood.
In the very onset the Congressman stepped out,
Appointed military and naval men to take part in the "Bout."
A minimum number were successful, we are glad to say
But boys, qualify, and not be held at bay.
There is great need for more Congressmen of the race
Let more DePriests come forward, help keep up the pace
That is set by this man of vision, who sees way down the line
The colored youth qualifying, not lagging far behind.
This race of ours must stand on its own feet
Get together, organize, patrol our own heat
Then segregation, disqualification,
all barriers will be swept away
The race will rise, soar to marvelous
heights, in the coming day.

Dr. Roscoe Brown Addresses Insurance Men
"Business Organization" was the subject discussed by Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, special representative of the North Carolina Life Insurance Company, before the Managers' Association at their weekly luncheon at the Whitelaw Hotel, Thursday, June 6.
Dr. Brown said that insurance had its beginning way back in the history of the world. But only one-eighth of the insured Negroes are in the colored companies. He stated that the economic world owes itself to ethics and that business is more co-operative than the professions.
Three visitors were present: W. C. Chilton, manager of the National Benefit, Petersburg, Va.; S. M. Washington, manager of the National Benefit, Richmond, Va.; and C. R. Alexander, manager of the National Benefit, Norfolk, Va.

FORUM
DO NOT ABOLISH DRILL
MAKE TEACHERS RRESPON
SIBLE.
Sir: I have noticed numerous publications in various colored papers, to the effect that the annual competitive drill between the colored high schools should be discontinued. Now every intelligent colored man and woman knows that such cowardly actions would be a grave mistake. There are other methods, which we might better employ other than throwing up our hands in dismay and discarding our military department in our high schools. If I know it, our high schools here are the only ones in the United States that have cadets. This fact is sufficient reason for the colored officials of our schools and the colored people at large to exert every reasonable effort to maintain this coveted possession.
Let our teachers instill in the minds and hearts of their students the value of strength of character and discipline. Let them teach them that discipline—self-control, is the awakening in ourselves of the proper conditions of mind to attain to success in our worthy pursuits. Let them teach them that while man may not always be master of his feelings, he can at least be master of his acts. All of this can be easily summed up under the heads of strength of character and general deportment, which we know are the very rudiments of the making of a man. With these thoughts foremost in mind, I truly believe that our high school students will readily see that in all competition there are victors, but there need not be enemies, and that they as students of these schools are representing that military skill and ability of which every nation is proud.
Three cheers for the next competitive drill, and many, many more. Johnnie Williams.
DISLIKES NEGROES' STATUS
IN MOVIES
Editor of the Tribune:
There is an increasing tendency on the part of the local colored movie theatres to present all-colored programs. The reason for this is not clear, but as the films invariably ridicule the colored people. I wish to protest against their continued showing. While it is true that such pictures afford employment to a handful of colored performers, is also a fact that they do irreparable damage to the entire race by depicting its members as shiftless, ignorant, and gullible, or shallow, scheming, and unscrupulous. For this reason alone they are worthy of condemnation. However, a more far-reaching consequence of this policy is apparent. The movies exert a powerful influence on the mental processes of the audience. Just as pictures of thieves, gangsters, and other criminals successfully pursuing their nefarious callings contribute materially to juvenile delinquency, so do these exaggerated all-colored pictures of jigging, "coon-shouting," half-savage colored people tend to sap the ambition and self-respect of our young people. If the colored people arrive anywhere in this country it must be through contact with the other racial group. Our enemies realize this, hence we are subjected to segregation, social and economic ostracism, and a thousand and one injustices calculated to prevent our acquiring those qualities which would make us independent, worthwhile citizens which otherwise are denied us, but our boys and girls can learn nothing of value from such inferior types of pictures and vitaphone acts as are now being shown.

TEXAS EQUALITY
HOUSTON, Texas. — Houston claims a population of 300,000, with 70,000 Negroes, about one-fourth of the population. The city has 27 parks for whites and one for the Negroes. The white parks have 3,473 acres and the Negro park 10 acres. The city spends $200,000 per year on the white parks and less than $5,000 a year on the colored park. The white parks have 130 employees, and the colored park only one. The colored park is named "Emancipa-

I KNOW SOMETHING GOOD
ABOUT YOU
Wouldn't this old world be better,
If the folks we meet would say,
"I know something good about you!"
And then treat us that way?
Wouldn't it be fine and dandy,
If each handclasp warm and true,
Carried with it this assurance,
"I know something good about you!"
Wouldn't life be lots more happy,
If the good that's in us all,
Were the only thing about us,
That folks bothered to recall?
Wouldn't life be lots more happy,
If we praised the good we see?
For there's such a lot of goodness,
In the worst of you and me.
Wouldn't it be nice to practice
That fine way of thinking too?
You know something good about me!
I know something good about you!
LOOK FOR THE BEST
By Cornelia J. Wilsoon
When the day is sad and dreary
And you feel so blue and weary;
Just think of days more brighter,
And then your heart feels lighter.
God will send sunshine your way
He never lets the gray clouds stay
Look for the best.

"All Over Town"
PEOPLES DRUGSTORE —The Better To Serve You
FIGHT ON
Willing to leave it
Willing to go,
As He will have it
Weal, perhaps woe,
Willing to do it
Whatever He ask,
Willing to sing on
Through every task.
USE YOUR HEAD
SEAL TACKED JUG

"All Over Town"
"All Over Town"
And in a moment he says, "I'll try, bare feet.
Looks wistful as the days go by
To gain the heights of other men
For now my task I will begin”—
Look for the best.
An old man plodded along the road,
As if he carried a heavy load.
His face was marked with care and
His face was marked with care and distress
With not a sign of happiness,
A comrade called him on his way,
And told him of a brighter day—
Look for the best.
The baby in his tiny bed,
Trys to raise his little head
And moves his dainty little feet
Although the movements aren't
complete.
For God has ordained a day of song.
When baby will sing as he toddles
along—
Look for the best.
The birdie perched upon the tree,
Says, "Mother, bring some food to me."
Its mother tries her level best,
To care for the little one in the
nest,
She says, "Some day they all will
fly,
And then I'll rest a while , O My!"
Look for the best.
Dear readers, who strive to gain
success.
Be like the urchin who found out best.
Advise as the friend of the weary old man.
Look around like baby for a bright day.
And every moment you'll find yourself
yourself
Looking for the best.

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF BURN'S POETRY AS GIVEN BY CARLYLE
Carlyle in writing his essay on Burns, said that his poetry contained certain outstanding characteristics. He proves this statement by taking certain of his poems and illustrating their qualities. Let us take for example his "Winter. Night." Description is very clearly shown in this poem. One may readily see or picture the rocking steeples, the raging snowstorm, and the stillness of the night. Another poem of his which shows description is "Auld Brig." Again one readily sees the heavy dark clouds due to the rain. One also hears the blustering winds, the torrents of rain, and the crushing ice.
Another outstanding characteristic of Burns' poetry as shown by Carlyle is indignation which in turn means an inverted love. The love of some right, some worth, or some goodness belonging to ourselves and to others which has been disturbed and this feeling comes forth to avenge. The poem "To a Mouse," brings out this quality very distinctively. It shows the hardships that the little mouse endures, the building of its house, the preparations that it makes for winter, only to have them destroyed by some cruel hand. This poem also shows sympathy as well as humor and tenderness. Esther Blackwell, C-7
