NEGROES ARE BARRED AT ROOSEVELT
Medical Firm, However, Refused to Cancel Rooms After Incident
Dr. Noble M. Eberhart, international lecturer on Eletro-Physio-Therapy, delivered a series of lectures, last week, at the Roosevelt Hotel under the auspices of the Buchler Physicians and Surgeons Supply Co., on Fourteenth street, northwest. Mr. Beuchler informed Dr. J. W. Ross that he would like to have some colored physicians attend the lectures, and informed Dr. Ross that everything was arranged for them to attend. But on the eve of the lecture, Dr. Ross was informed that the hotel would cancel its room engagement before it would permit Negro physicians to the lecture. The lectures were held.
Last year, when Dr. Eberhart was here he held his lectures at the Arlington Hotel and colored men attended. However, not to miss the opportunity completely, Mr. Beuchler arranged for Dr. Eberhart to deliver his lectures to six colored physicians at his place of business on Fourteenth street And Drs. Charles Allen, J. W. Ross, Carroll A Brooks, H. P. Williams, A. A. Phillips and J. G. Gaithings attended the lectures, notwithstanding the Beuchler Co. would not cancel the Roosevelt engagement when it learned that its prospective customers would not be admitted.

Charlotte, N.C., Observer Says Incident is a White House Custom
(By J. A. G. LuValle)
The Southern daily papers carried front page stories and editorials on Mrs. DePriest's visit to the White House. However, they were not as raw as they were when President Roosevelt entertained Booker T. Washington.
The Charlotte, N.C., Observer says editorially:
"Entertaining the Colored Lady." "White House etiquette requires the President's wife to give official entertainment to the wives of Congressman. We are going to hear a roar over this circumstance and the President's wife, evidently appreciative of the fact, had determined to do it and have it over with. It is a White House custom, side-steping of which would have created a greater rucus than its performance, and while the public may criticize those entitled to get a part of it, are the 39 white women who shared honors in the luncheon. If criticism is to be directed at the First Lady of the Land, her guasts should be the legitimate sharers in it."
DePriest Interviewed
A news article to the News and
Observer, Raleigh, N.C., says:
"Representative DePriest is quite
prominent since his wife broke into
Washington society via the
White House. Today he was inter-
viewed for local papers and spoke
in high praise of his colleagues in
Congress, and said, there is no
color line in Congress.""
Editorially, Josephus Daniels
said:
"The report of Mr. Hoover to
make the Republican party of certain
Southern states a white man's
party isn't going to be taken seri-
ously as long as the Associated
Press is able to send out from
Washington such dispatches as
this:
"Mrs. Oscar DePriest, wife of
the Negro representative from
Illinois, was a guest at tea given
yesterday at the White House by
Mrs. Hover.""
Josephus Daniels Writes
Josephus Daniels, who was Secretary of the Navy under President Wilson, carried this news item in his News-Observer: "Washington society was surprised and amazed to learn today that the wife of Oscar DePriest, the Chicago Negro Congressman, had broken into the most exclusive circles via an afternoon tea given at the White House by Mrs. Hoover. Politicians on Capital Hill were dumb-founded to learn that the White House was breaking a social precedent at a critical period in President Hoover's career.
"The wife of many a Congressman spends years in Washington without ever being invited to one of the informal affairs of the White House. The wife of the Negro Congressman made her climb into social eminence at a single leap. Representative DePriest expressed himself as being immensely pleased at the social eminence. his wife had acquired. His wife had been treated excellently. DePriest's wife recognized that she was playing an epocal part in society. She was modishly dressed. None there excelled her in correctness of cosume."
The Courier Journal
The Courier Journal, of Louis-
ville, Ky., speaking of W. H. Lewis
and DePriest, said: "Lewis, how-
ever, lived in a Negro hotel and
declined such invitations as came
to him because of his official posi-
tion. Lewis and DePriest are tally-
different types of their race.
Lewis bowed to the prejudices
which existed in many minds
against Negroes seeking social
squality. DePriest was reared in
Chicago. His first act was to ap-
point young Negroes to West Point
and Annapolis. DePriest himself,

Invited to Knoxville by the Mayor. To Return Here In September
A report from Chattanooga, Tenn., Monday, said: "When Congressman Oscar DePriest speaks in Chattanooga, June 25, it will not be under the auspices of the Hamilton County Republican Club, but rather under the sponsorship of Rev. A. D. Williams.
Last Saturday, a local Negro paper carried a page advertisement of the DePriest visit, giving credit to the Republican Club for bringing him.
When seen Tuesday, Mr. DePriest said that he knew nothing of the Republican Club of Chattanooga, but that Rev. Williams had invited him to Chattanooga, and that he would be there on Tuesday, the 25th. The mayor of Knoxville has invited him to speak there.
He will leave Washington, Saturday, and will not return until Congress convenes in September. Sunday, the Congressman will speak in Roanoke, Va.; Monday night in Knoxville, Tenn., and Tuesday in Chattanooga. From there he will go into Chicago, where he has several speaking dates near the Windy City.

CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL LIBEL
W. A. Baltimore Is Vindicated by Verdict. Sentence Suspended
William W. Simpson, who was convicted of criminal libel in connection with his writing a letter to Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of the District public schools, concerning William A. Baltimore, a teacher of printing in the Shaw Junior High School, was given a suspended sentence of two years and placed on probation by Justice Frederick L. Siddons, in criminal court No. 2, last Saturday.
Simpson wrote Dr. Ballou, April 30, 1928, after the equity court had held invalid a will made by the late Mrs. Mary A. Parker in which Mr. Baltimore was named executor and his son a beneficiary. Simpson charged in his letter that Mr. Baltimore made it "a practice" to remove persons from hospitals to his home and "turning up with a will giving him the bulk of their estate."
After an investigation Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, refused to take any action against Mr. Baltimore. William C. Martin, attorney for Mr. Baltimore, brought Simpson's letter to the attention of the United States attorney. Simpson was indicted. He was convicted June 10, and held in $2,000 bond to await sentence.
GREEK GETS ONLY 6 YRS.
GREEK GETS ONLY 6 YRS.
Gus Tokas, Greek, who ran amuck at Fourteenth and U streets, northwest, and fatally cut an innocent bystander, was sentenced Wednesday, by Justice Frederick L. Siddons, to serve just six years in the penitentiary. He was convicted of manslaughter.
Tokas was employed in a Greek restaurant at 1357 U street, northwest. Three men entered the restaurant on the afternoon of July 30, 1928. They ordered food and got into an altercation with Tokas. They fled from the restaurant after striking him. Tokas grabbed a butcher knife and ran into the street behind them. He lost sight of them but began slashing at pedestrians.
George Washington, an elderly man, was waiting for a street car. Tokas cut him about the head. Washington diced on October 3. Tokas was arrested and charged with second degree murder, which the jury reduced in its verdict to manslaughter.
The Creek was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Walter M. Shea.

Republican Senators Succeed in Having it Expunged from Record
Pootry embodied in a resolution relating to the entertainment of Mrs. DePriest, the wife of Representative Oscar DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, at a tea given by Mrs. Herbert Hoover for wives of the Congressional set, was criticized as obscene by Senators Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, and Hiram Bingham, of Connecticut, both Republicans.
The resolution was offered by Senator Coleman L. Lleave, Democrat, of South Carolina, one of whose chief activities in the Senate is Negro baiting.
The resolution requested "the President and Mrs. Hoover to remember that the house in which they are temporarily residing is the 'White House,' and that five southern states—Virginia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina—contributed to their becoming its custodians."
The Preamble
The preamble of the resolution recited that Mrs. DePriest "sat on Mrs. Hoover's right as her equal and as the guest of honor," and was followed with a dozen verses. When the clerk had finished the reading of the resolution at the request of Senator Blease, Senator Edge moved that it be stricken from the Congressional Record. Refusing to debate or discuss the contents of the resolution, Senator Edge declared that "it is as near obsacnity as it is possible for such a thing to be." Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, agreed that the resolution should not have been read. Vice-President Curtis ruled that the resolution could only be expunged from the Record by unanimous consent and that was blocked temporarily by Blease himself. The wording of the resolution was criticised by Senator Bingham as giving "offense to hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens" and "to the spirit of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence." Senator Blease withdrew his objection to the expunging of the (Continued on page 8)

THANKS CONG. DePRIEST
Writes Letter Regretting His Inability to Mest Requirements
Charles Edward Weir, appointed by Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, to the United States Naval Academy, failed to qualify in the physical examinations held at Annapolis, Md., last Tuesday, and will not enter the Naval School, it was announced this week. Imperfect vision was the cause of his failure to make the grade
Young Weir reported at the Naval Academy at 9 o'clock, Tuesday morning, and together with approximately 75 other boys from various states, went immediately into the physical examination which consumed about three hours time. It is understood that he received a perfect physical rating except on his eyesight, the first test showing deficiency of vision in both eyes. This examination was not final, however, and he was instructed to appear at 1 o'clock before the medical board of the Academy, composed of seven naval surgeons, who conducted a careful exhaustive re-examination. Final results were announced as follows: "Defective vision; right eye, 5/20; left eye, 9/20. Re-examination—right eye, 3/20; left eye, 5/20; corrected to right eye 15/20; left eye 17/20."
White Boys Fail
Several other boys were disqualified in the physical examination at Annapolis, one of whom informed Weir that he had passed a preliminary Naval physical test at his home in Pittsburgh before going to the Academy. However, he (Continued from page 1)

BLACKS AND WHITES HELD IN PEONAGE
MACON, Ga.—W. D. Arnold, Sr., operator of a farm in Webster County, is being held today under bond of $10,000 in Americus, Ga., on a Federal warrant charging peonage. A white man and four colored men, alleged to be the peons, were in jail as material witnesses. Although Arnold is charged only with holding in servitude the white man, Claude King, and a colored man, John Vanover, three other colored men in the Clarke County Jail are said to have worked on the Arnold farm. The three, Tuck Bronner, Jordan Haywood and Joe Howard, will testify at the trial. A special session of court probably will be held early in July.
A caravan of ten large busses and fifty automobiles left the Elks' Home, 301 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, Sunday afternoon, for their annual pilgrimage to Blue Plains, D.C.

Elks Cheer Old Folks
The leaving off of a whole class from the farewell group picture, presented Miss M. Louise Washington. of Mott School, has created a stir among the parents and teachers and students of this school. Personal feelings crept into the proposed testimonial to Miss Washington, of which the group picture was a part of the program. The parents of the children constituting this eliminated class are indignant.
Several of them expressed the opinion that it was because this room failed to contribute its expected quota to the fund raised for the testimonial. Circulars were printed by the Parent-Teachers Association and given to the children by the teachers, to be carried home to the parents. The circular said, "It is requested that parents contribute at least $1.00 (one dollar) per house." The names of those contributing were published in the program as "patrons." There are 300 names printed on the program as "patrons".
Against the Rules
Mrs. L. Naylor Fitzhugh managed the testimonial among the teachers. The class left off the group picture was one in the new addition, taught by Miss Ardella G. Parks, who said she felt it unprofessional and against the rules of the School Board to give out these circulars and that she told her children that they need not take them home if they did not want to, which were distributed by

Color Number System
Besides the regular chassis number and engine number that every automobile must have, Graham-Paige models now reach their owners with a third set of numerals that eliminate what has always been a frequent source of confusion among owners, service stations and factories. A "color number," stamped in a metal plate permanently fixed to each body, combined with a system of record-keeping at the Graham-Paige factory, guarantees correct color matching of any unit of a body whenever a replacement is ordered, without chance of error, no matter how old the car may be when the need for body work arises.
The new system, originated by Graham-Paige body engineers, solves a problem that has become more and more acute with a trend toward a wide variety of body colors. Current production at Graham-Paige requires thirty-three color combinations for the standard cars alone. Special color schemes in variation of standard colors, or in totally different colors, add hundreds of other combinations every month.

Green on Battery Terminal
The green deposit which sometimes forms around the terminals of the battery indicates a slight leak in the sealing compound, which should be closed up. In the meantime clean off terminals thoroughly and cover with cup grease to prevent further corrosion.

Automobile tire statistics just issued by the Rubber Manufacturers Association show that total production of pneumatic casings in the United States increased from 6,600,000 in 1913 to over 77,900,000 in 1923. This represents an annual rate of growth of 17.9 per cent (compounded).

SAN PAULO, Brazil—The people of Manaos, are showing signs of growing indignation over Henry Ford's plan to introduce, American Negroes on his newly established Tamaojos, Rivery plantation. The newspapers are taking up the opposition. The Brazilian Estado says editorially.
"The American Negro has not the mentality and moral characteristics of the Brazilian Negro. The resulting severe complications will be more harmful than useful. We are not prejudiced against the Negro, but Negroes are not the best elements of civilization nor a guarantee for race perfection. It seems to us that the Brazilian Government should do something to avoid or attenuate the invasion of these people."
"There is no reason why we should open our frontiers without reserve to the worst black unassimilable element of North America. Hospitality is beautiful, but it is more dangerous to accept a dangerous, persecuted, unhappy people. To Negroes of real value the gate is open, but they are unwilling to leave the States."

In an altercation with her friend, Eugene Marshall, in her home at 1239 Six-and-a-half street, northwest, Mary Jordan, a laundress, was struck over the head with a bottle. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where three stitches were taken in her scalp.
VICTIM OF HEAT
While walking in the 1500 block of Sixth street, northwest, Monday, June 17, Mrs. Sarah Gans, 52, 1514 Sixth street, was suddenly overcome by the excess heat and fell, spraining her thumb and little finger. She was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she received treatment and was later sent home.
Policeman Beaten by Crowd
In a grand free-for-all at midnight on the corner of Twelfth and U streets, Herbert Smith, a white policeman of No. 8 precinct, was beaten severely about the head and face as he patrolled his beat alone. It is alleged that Officer Smith attempted to stop a would-be riot on the corner in front of the Pythian Temple, which seemed to have started over nothing when an unknown man became loud and threatening. In the ensuing excitement his billy was snatched and he was beaten violently about the face and head. He could not see his assailants for the large amount of blood that flowed from a severe scalp wound. He was treated by Dr. West at Freedmen's Hospital for multiple lacerations and contusions about the head, face, hands and knees, and for a probable slight fracture of the skull.
Man Beaten by No. 2 Police
A lacerated lip, a sprained jaw, two broken teeth, and a cut face, was what Mizell Pannall, 25, of 1030 Fifth street, northwest, received for trying to escape the law, Monday, June 17. Pannall was riding peacefully in No. 2 police wagon on the way to the station house, on a minor charge, when it occurred to him to get out of the moving vehicle. A policeman of No. 2, who was accompanying Pannall, understood the former's intentions too well, and subdued them, it is alleged by beating him in the mouth and face with his billy. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. J. B. West and Dr. Otis Williams, the hospital dentist.
Tyler and Lee Dismissed
Charles Tyler and Walter Lee, of 100 L street, northwest, arrested three weeks ago on an alleged "numbers" charge, in connection with the 12-year-old school girl who was alleged to have played 14 cents on a number, were dismissed, Tuesday, when arraigned before Judge McMahon.

NEGRO FARMERS NOT TO BENEFIT BY FEDERAL FARM AID
HAIR AND TOILET ARTICLES
"HAWAIIAN TREATMENTS AND PRODUCTS WILL GROW YOUR HAIR"
THE VALUE OF AN ORGANIZATION TO THE PUBLIC IS NOT DETERMINED IN DOLLARS, BUT BY HOW MUCH WORTHWHILE BENEFIT THE PEOPLE GET OUT OF ITS SERVICE.
The Hawaiian System, a NATIONALLY KNOWN AND ADVERTISED Washington, D.C., business enterprise in scalp and hair culture with agents operating in all sections of this city is a growing development of an idea devoted to public service that has proven its MERIT. Under the expert care of trained Hawaiian System agents thousands of our women here are getting positive benefit.

MAINTAIN NO ORGANIZATIONS FOR MARKETING
No Negro Will Likely Be Appointed to Board. May Increase Migration
Lack of agricultural cooperative organizations will shut out Negro farmers from any except general benefits from the farm relief legislation of this Congress.
While there was some agitation for the appointment of a colored man to a vacancy on the Federal Farm Loan Board, no cognizance was taken of it by the President. It is expected that the appointment of a colored man to membership on the newly created Federal Farm Board will be proposed but with no degree of sincerity.
The eight appointed members of the board will serve for six years at salaries of $12,000 a year. The board is authorized to make loans for agricultural cooperative organizations and commodity stabilization corporations out of a revolving fund of $500,000,000.
The stabilization corporations are to be empowered to acquire and store surplus agricultural commodities in order to bring about orderly marketing conditions and to act as selling agents for the cooperatives.
As far as could be ascertained there are no Negro agricultural cooperative organizations or commodity stabilization corporations, and those operated by the whites, exclude Negroes as members.
The census of 1920 showed 925,708 Negro farmers operating 41,432,182 acres of land. There were among them 218,612 owners whose farm property was valued at $554,158,003. Among white farmers 67 per cent were owners. Among Negro farmers 24 per cent were owners.
Because of the lack of federal farm loan associations, Negro farmers were not able to get the benefits of the Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916. They have become discouraged, according to reports reaching government departments here.

600 High School Students See Howard
The second annual exhibit of the College of Applied Science at Howard University has attracted numerous visitors during the past two weeks, including 600 high school students accompanied by their teachers from Washington, Baltimore, and Coatesville, Pa.
The exhibit comprises work in architecture, art, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, and was to have closed on last Saturday but is being continued an additional week for the benefit of summer school students and the general public.
marizes the situation as follows: "It is generally believed that unless a more liberal policy is inaugurated, we shall witness a greater migration of Negroes from the rural districts to the highly organized industrial centers of the Nation. This will mean more and larger ghettoes, possibly an increase in crime, and certainly an increased mortality rate."

Falling through a skylight, down to the basement of a store in the 1800 block of Fourteenth street, James Jackson, 20, of 1207 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, narrowly escaped losing his life, Monday, June 17. It does not seem clear to police what Jackson was doing so high up, but the crash and impact brought officers from No. 8 precinct into the store. An investigation, Jackson was found lying unconscious in the basement. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital by Petarolman F. J. Knoble. There he was treated by Dr. Thomas Cole, emergency room physician of the hospital, for: scalp lacerations and a slightly fractured skull. He was removed to his home after refusing to remain in the hospital.

NOT TOO HOT FOR CORN WHISKEY
James Givens, 1917 Temperance court, northwest, and James Smith, 1005 Nine-and-a-half street, northwest, were arrested by W. R. McEvin and W. R. Toptin, of the eighth precinct Tuesday night, under the Jones law. The officers reported finding 204 quarts of alleged corn whiskey in their car. They were arrested in front of Givens' home. Early Wednesday morning officers Monroe and Cooke, of the eighth precinct, found an abandoned Cadillac in a garage in the rear of 2574 Snerman avenue, containing 720 quarts of alleged corn whiskey. The car had a smoke screen attachment, and bore license plate No. D. C., U-6087. No arrests have been made.
Child Bitten by Dog
A case of an ugly dog bite indicted while playing opens the season of dogs days in Washington. William Drew, age 7, of 318 T street, was severely bitten by a stray dog while walking home on Rhode Island avenue, near Florida avenue, northwest. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital and treated by Dr. Thomas Cole and later removed to his home.
Woman Bitten by Dog
The second dog bite of the opening summer months was reported to No. 8 police precinct. Monday, June 17. Mrs. Mamie Walker was treated in the Emergency clinic of Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. Cole. Mrs.'Walker, who lives at 450 O street, northwest, was walking on Keefer street, northwest, when a stray dog bit her suddenly on the leg.
FIGHTS WITH STRANGER
Striking an unknown assailant in the mouth was somewhat of an expensive task for James Nelson, of 1715 Fourth street, northwest. According to reports, an unknown assailant attacked Nelson, who resented by striking the stranger in the mouth with his fist. The result was a badly infected lacerated hand.
Drs. Curtis Operate In Pittsburgh
Drs. A. M. and Arthur L. Curtis attended the medical association, of Pennsylvania, which convened in Pittsburgh, June 12 to 14. They held surgical clinics in Mercy Hospital, one of the largest in the state. Dr. A. M. Curtis was there four years ago and held a similar clinic. The work of the association was so scientifically performed that the Municipal Hospital invited them to hold a clinic in that institution next year.
Treated for War Wound
After eleven years of peace, James Walker, 37, war veteran, residing at 239 O street, northwest, comes back for treatment of a gun shot wound he received in the Argonne forest "over there." Walker sametred into the Emergency Clinic at Freedmen's Hospital, asking for treatment for a war wound received in the historic days of 1918. When he was asked who shot him by the doctor, he laconically replied, "The Germans, of course." The ex-soldier was treated for an infection of a stump, which he explained becomes infected every so often since the amputation was hastily made in France eleven years ago.
Seriously Cut in Fight
In a violent knife fight in an apartment at 1827 Sixth street, northwest, Monday night, June 17, between Alfred Smith, 28, and Edgar Williams, 27, both living in the vicinity of Sixth, and T streets, Smith was stabbed in the left chest, left thorax, and left forearm.

LINCOLN-HAMPTON GAME IN NEW YORK
Lincoln University's football team will meet Hampton in a game scheduled for Wednesday, November 2, at the Yankee stadium, New York, according to an announcement made by William S. Taylor, the new coach at Lincoln. The game was arranged by Taylor and Mr. C. H. Williams, of Hampton. The game was set for New York because of the large number of alumni there from both schools. A record-breaking crowd is expected to attend.
tire period of my stay at the Naval Academy. I am satisfied that my rejection on account of deficient vision was based on the actual condition of my eyes. For approximately six years I have had eye trouble, and during the past four years have been obliged to wear glasses to correct a deficiency of vision. I am truly grateful to you for having honored me with appointment to the naval school, and regret that because of the condition of my eyes I was unable to qualify in the physical examination."
Young Weir's father accompanied him to the Naval Academy on Tuesday, and also expressed pleasure at the treatment accorded himself and his son. He stated that he was shown courtesies not ordinarily extended to visitors, and indicated that he was perfectly satisfied with the decision of the Academy board of examiners.
It is understood that Mr. DePriest has written to the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department and to the Commandant of the Naval Academy, expressing his appreciation of the treatment accorded his appointee.
Charles Weir plans to spend the summer months with his parents in Washington, and will resume his studies at the University of Chicago in the fall. He has just completed his first year's work at that University, where it is understood he has made an excellent scholastic record.

Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan, sprint king, captured the special invitation one hundred yard dash at the Metropolitan A. A. U. meet held in the Yankee Stadium last Monday.
The track was very slow, and no slap was taken at the century record. Tolan took the first heat of the race from Wildermouth, of Georgetown, to qualify for the finals.
In the finals, he proved himself one of the best runners in the meet, when he finished a few inches ahead of Bracy, and comfortably ahead of Wildermouth.
Tolan is the Negro star who flashed into prominence by defeating George Simpson, of Ohio State University, in the hundred yard dash. He set a new record of 9 5-10 seconds, which was later wrested away by Simpson himself. In the 220, Tolan ran a very close second to Simpson.
ANNACOSTIA ADDS 2 MORE
Beat Monarchs, 8 to 7, And Lafayettes by 17 to 7
The Annacostia Juniors, last year's champions and seeming sure winners this year, added two more victims to their already long string by defeating the Monarch Nine, 8 to 7, in Annacostia, last week, and duplicated the trick in Alexandria Sunday, beating the Lafayettes to the tune of 17 to 7.
The Lafayettes, the only team to beat the locals twice since they organized, have yet to win a game from "Doc" Green's crew this year.
In the absence of "Pop" Walter McKenzie, the Annacostians are progressing under the direction of "Gob", a well known figure around Annacostia.
They will go to Baltimore next Sunday to play the Zonta A. C.'s, at Druid Hill Park. All friends are invited to go. Bus fare, $1.50. Admission to park free.

CHARLES WEIR FAILS
(Continued on page 8)
was rejected upon final examination at Annapolis, Tuesday.
An examination of his eyes in Chicago just prior to coming to Washington disclosed that Weir was suffering from myopia (short sightedness). He stated that the result of the examination at Annapolis was no more than he had anticipated, but expressed great regret at his inability to pass the physical test.
Can Appeal
All boys rejected at Annapolis are permitted to appeal to the Surgeon General of the Navy for further examination, but Weir has decided not to take this step as he feels that to do so will be but to again confirm the result of previous tests.
Young Weir expressed great pleasure at the treatment accorded him during his short stay at the Academy, and stated that he was shown every possible courtesy and consideration. In a letter to the Congressman, made public by Mr. DePriest, on Wednesday, he said:
Writes DePriest
"Dear Mr. DePriest: You may be interested and gratified to know that while undergoing physical examination yesterday at the United States Naval Academy, at Annapolis, Md., I was received cordially and kindly, and was accorded every possible courtesy and consideration at the hands of the examining physicians and the Academy staff and officials. At no time was any difference or discrimination evidenced, and I was treated fairly and squarely during the en-

Fifteen-Year-Old Pitcher Performs Like Veteran; Two Homers Hit
Starting the latter half of the season, Navy Yard defeated G. P. O., 8-4, in the first game of the second series.
Berry, the 15-year-old pitcher of Navy, was master through the game and performed like a veteran.
Homers by Mills and Wooden, the latter with the bases full, featured the game. Smith's catch of Dandridge's liner was sensational.
Bland pitched good ball, but the Navy was able to bunch their hits in the first and sixth innings when all their markers were made.

HILLSDALES TAKE DOUBLE FROM STARS
The hard hitting of Haywood and Black, combined with the air-tight fielding of Johnson and Williams enabled the Hillsdales to take the opening game of a double header from the Sandy Springs Stars, 13 to 7.
The second game was won when Jonh Levi's slants held the Stars helpless after one bad inning while his team mates pounded out several runs.
O. Green's fielding was the feature of the nightcap, and this coupled with several errors on the part of the Stars, gave the Hillsdale team the game by a score of 7 to 4.

Diamond Dust BY THE OBSERVER
Frank Warfield, manager of the Baltimore Black Sox, is now playing his thirteenth season in big time baseball. He is a Kentucky boy by birth, and began his playing career under the late C. I. Taylor, manager of the old Indianapolis A. B. C.'s.
He began at shortstop, but his best work has been at second base. Once he played in fifty-five straight games without making a single error. He has some interesting ideas about baseball in general, and the colored league in particular.
He says that C. I. Taylor was the greatest manager under which he has ever played.
Bell, of St. Louis, is about the fastest man down the first base in all baseball.
"Specs" Webster was the fastest man on the bases
John Beckwith is the hardest hitter in the colored baseball league.
Hilldale and Santa Clara were two of the great teams on which he has played.
He has never played on a tail-end club.

Shivley was the greatest lead-off man in colored baseball.
There was more team spirit, hustle, and fight among the ball players of yesterday than today.
His choice for an all-time baseball team would be: catchers: Mackey and Petway; pitchers, Wickware, Williams, Donaldson, and Winters; first base, Grant; second base, Demoss; short stop, "Dobie" Moore; third base, Riggin; center field, Charleston; right field, Hill; and left field, McNair.
Caesar Jamieson and Cromwell were the best umpires of color he has ever seen.
He is now leading a great team, the Baltimore Black Sox, and he expects to win the pennant with his entry.
COLESVILLE TIGERS TAKE TWO GAMES FROM BRIGHTWOOD TEAM. 10-2 AND 10-7
LEFT OFF PICTURE
(Continued on page 8)
The hard-hitting Colesville Tigers added two more victories to their winning list last Sunday when they took both ends of a double header from the fast Brightwood Athletic Club. The games were played at Colesville. In the first game the Tigers heavy artillery batted out a 10 to 2 victory. Louis Hill, right handed speed ball king, was invisible to the Washington boys, and had them eating from his hand throughout the game.
The second game saw a continuation of the Tigers' heavy hitting, and they won to the tune of 10 to 7. Gene Jackson was on the mound for the Tigers and twirled good ball for six innings, when the Brightwood team tied the score, 6 to 6. Louis Hill proved himself an iron man, rushing to the rescue and stopping the visitors dead in their tracks. Corbin led his team at bat, while Honesty and Palmer starred in the field.

The obscene poem which Please sought to put in the Record was as follows:
"Niggers in the White House"
Things at the White House
Looking mighty curious,
Niggers running everywhere,
White people furious.
Niggers in the East room
Make a mighty throng;
Niggers in the music room
Singing a coon song.
Niggers in the sitting room
Making all the talk;
Niggers in the ball room
Doing cake walk.
Niggers in the hallway,
Taking off their wraps;
Niggers in the billiard room
Shooting game of craps.
Niggers in the store room,
Packing away their plunder;
Niggers in the bed room,
Snoring like thunder.
Not a room in the White House
Without niggers many;
Baby in the nursery,
Nigger pickaninny.
Niggers on the stairway
With such satiety;
Niggers in the Blue Room
Assembled for society.
Niggers in the front yard,
Niggers in the back;
Niggers come in omnibus,
Niggers come in hack.
On they come to Washington,
With a mighty rush;
Forty thousand niggers
Getting in the push.
There is trouble in the White House
More than you can tell—
Yelling like wild men,
Niggers raising hell.

DUNBAR WINS POOL MEET
Aquatic stars of Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools competed on Monday of last week in the annual swimming meet of the two high schools.
Dunbar walked off with the honors, taking first place in every event except the relay race, which was won by Armstrong after a very close and exciting race.
Frederick Douglass, of the Poets' team, scored 19 points alone. The final result was: Dunbar, 34; Armstrong, 16.
LEAGUE PENNANT WINNER STILL IN DOUBT
With the second series under way the winner of the first series is far from a solution due to numerous postponements and faulty arrangement of games on the open dates. Heretofore the team leading at the conclusion of the first half including open dates was declared the winner, the remaining games thrown out. This season an exception due to the G. P. O. having the bulk of postponed games and some seem to be of the opinion that the championship should be decided in a two-game series between Agriculture and G. P. O. This will have to be thrashed out at a league meeting at an early date. Complete batting averages of the first series next week.
A long list would be required for complete pitching records. Powell, G.P.O., and Gilliard, Agriculture, leading with two wins each. Bailey, Aggiee appearing is most games (6) leading in earned runs per game, 2.1 (alsc in strike-outs, 29); Briscoe, Veterans Bureau, 2.5; Beckwith, Treasury, 3.1; Pleasant, Navy Yard, 3.5.
said Parks, "but I was not notified to take my children out and we did not get in."
Mrs. Fitzhugh was asked if she notified Miss Parks, and she said that she told a Miss Wright to notify the teachers in the new addition. Miss Wright would not confirm or deny that she notified Miss Parks, but referred the reporter to Miss Washington, the principal. Miss Washington said it was all a surprise to her and that she knew nothing of it, until called to go out and get into the group, and that she did not know this class was left out. "However," she said, "I consider it a personal favor to me, that Miss Parks was not in the picture."
Miss E. F. G. Merritt, supervising principal of divisions 10-11, heard of the affair and went to Miss Parks' room and asked all the children whose parents had contributed to the testimonial to stand up. Only three stood. Then she asked all who were in the picture to stand. No one stood. She asked them if they did not want to be in the picture, and all hands went up. She then said, "Well, the reason you were not in the group is the fault of your teacher." The law says that the children shall not solicit, nor be solicited for funds or subscriptions, and Miss Parks said she felt that she was within the law, when he refused to give out those circulars soliciting the parents through the children.

confirmed the fact today that his wife had received social attention by Mrs. Hoover. And he made no secret of his satisfaction that this recognition from the highest official quarter had been accorded him. Also the Congressman had details of his wife's party dress."
From South Carolina
An editorial in the Greenville, S. C. News under the caption: "Mrs. Hoover's Tea Party," said: "The President's wife entertained the colored Congressman's wife because of her routine reception to all Congressmen's wives in groups. It came time to invite the woman and Mrs. Hoover did not politely avoid the task. Moreover, the Negro Congressman was well pleased with the reception his wife received from Mrs. Hoover and the other visitors. "All of which is submitted as a delicious item of news in response to the rumor that many Southern women voted for Hoover for President because they didn't believe Al Smith's wife would be a gracious First Lady of the Land. Mrs. Hoover is the quintessence of politeness."
The reaction to the tea at least has been illuminating. While the daily press has been rather fair, the state legislatures and a few organizations have expressed a racial prejudice which should be far beneath such organizations. A bitter and heated debate arose in the Texas senate at Austin over a resolution to denounce Mrs. Hoover for entertaining Mrs. DePriest. The resolution said: "We how our heads in shame and regret and express in the strongest and most enphatic terms at our command, and condemnation and humiliation at such conduct, if true, on the part of the mistress of the White House." This resolution passed by a vote of 26 to 2.
Senator Wirtz at one point queried: "Do you think social equality preferable to anti-prohibition?"

Colored Auto Speed Championship Race To Be Held July 4 At Indianapolis
RALEIGH, N.C.—Official announcement has just been given out that Shaw University has won the colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association tennis championship in doubles which was played in the annual tournament recently held at Hampton Institute. This is the third consecutive victory for Shaw in tennis in this Association, which gives to the institution permanent possession of the trophy offered by the League. Officials of the North Carolina Athletic Union announce that Shaw's recent victory over A. & T. College entitles Shaw to the state athletic penchant and championship in baseball for the collegiate year.
Outstanding features of the closing of the athletic year at Shaw was the ovation given Armstrong and Vergan for winning the tennis championship and the awarding of fifty-two letters to Shaw men who have distinguished themselves for the year in the various athletic activities.
Love, who was visibly agitated, replied, "Yes. If Theodore Roosevelt, who ate with Booker T. Washington, were alive, I would vote for him over a man who would turn over the country to Tammany and liquor."
By a vote of 71 to 13 the Florida House of Representatives adopted a resolution, Monday, protesting "certain social policies of the administration in entertaining Negroes in the White House on a parity with white leaders.

Plans for the 100-mile automobile race for the colored championship of America, to be run in Indianapolis, Ind., on July 4, have been completed and entries are pouring into the city in order to tamilize themselves with the track and to qualify early.
This year's race, one hundred laps, will be for a prize of $2,500, which is the largest amount ever offered as a prize for Negro racers.
Many New Entries
This year the list of nationally famous colored drivers elected to try for the gold and glory makes previous events look like scooter races.
Gene Smith, "Wild Man" Gaines, "Cannon Ball" Jeffries, and others of the "Windy City" gang vow to carry off the lion's share of the purse. Entries are still coming into the office, and it is expected that the field will far out-number the twenty-six entries of last year. The speed record for last year is also expected to topple.

Talking Pictures—Watch for announcement next week
Lew Leglie's. "Blackbirds," the show that took America by storm, had one of the most sensational openings ever scored by any show, at the Moulin Rouge, on Sunday, June 9. The tickets had all been sold far in advance, and the manager of the theatre had to close the doors in order to keep out the large crowd that sought entrance. Never before in the history of the Moulin Rouge had there been such a sensation at the coming of a new show.
Hundreds of society leaders from America attended, and most of them seemed proud of the success of the American company. Many noblemen of Paris and London were also at the opening, and showered the actors with presents and bouquets after the final curtain.
Many theatrical managers from all over the continent stormed Lew Leslie for contractors to play in other leading cities of Europe as soon as his present contract expired. The show will probably go to London, England, next. Leslie is as proud of his show as any producer could be, and is planning to give them one of the most sumptuous banquets of all times within a few weeks.

Paul Robeson, former star of "Emperor Jones," and the sensation of Europe during the last few months, is sailing back to the United States July 15, to take the lead in a talking picture, "Black Boy."
Scores of people who have returned to America during the last year have talked about the sensation that this colored actor has created.
He is the lion of the hour in London and is given recognition seldom shown an American actor.
He was recently awarded the Pulitzer prize for his acting in "Emperor Jones," by a discerning jury that spoke of him as being one of the stage's greatest artists.
"BLOCKADE" AT REPUBLIC THEATRE
The colossus of sea thrillers "Blockade," will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 22, 23, and 24. You will see and hear Anna Q. Nilsson in this mighty spectacle of war on rum row.
With a theme of universal interest, based upon the liquor problem, "Blockade" is a powerful and vivid depiction of the ceaseless warfare that is carried on along the east coast of the United States between organized rum runners and the law enforcement officials of the government.
On Saturday, June 22, the final episode of "The Fatal Warning," the gripping mystery serial, will be shown.
John Barrymore will be shown in his latest production, "Eternal Love," on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, June 25, 26, 27 and 28.
A synchronized music score has been composed for this picture by Hugo Riesenfeld, and is played by the famous Riesenfeld Orchestra.

Putney Dandridge Worked Ten Years With Drake And Walker
[Picture of a man playing a piano]
See the little fellow sitting at the piano?
Why is he sitting at the piano?
Because he plays.
What does he play?
Any song you can think of.
Does he play "Four or Five Times"?
Does he? Say, you oughta hear him. When he and Ralph Cooper get together and start scuffling and shuffling on that song, well, sir, the show stops—right there.
Punty changes the little red piano to an organ, then switches it around and makes it a couple of drums, and then turns out to be a whole orchestra by himself.
What it takes to make a piano behave, Puttrev it. He plays almost everything and anything, and likes to play requests. Many a time he has asked somebody in the audience what they'd like to hear, and no matter what it is, he plays it—no music nor nothing.
Whence came this piano plunker with the magic fingers and his little red piano? Well, let's see.
Born in Richmond
Putney was born down in Richmond, Va., in 1902. He hung down there and finally got a job as a chorus boy in Drake and Walker's show, about 1918.
He didn't have much to do between shows, so he started plunking a piano, just for fun. He learned what he could and went on playing from memory almost any-

Barrington Guy In Second Edition of Show
In 1921, Drake and Walker gave him a job playing for the show, and Putney progressed until he learned to do other things too. He learned to arrange songs for the orchestra, and how to really play a piano as it had never been played before.
About 1928, he left Drake and Walker and went where all the theatrical folks go sooner or later, up to the city of bright lights and pretty women, New York.
He got a job at the Lincoln Theatre in New York, and started to work for Addison Carey. During his engagement of sixteen weeks, Carey started him in to handling the music for his shows, which were on the same order as those being presented at the Howard now.
From New York, he came direct to Washington, where he was installed as stage manager and musical director of the shows.
A few weeks ago he left the Howard for the Lincoln Theatre in New York. While there he was asked to make a Vitaphone short of his song hit, "Nagasaki." The act will soon be released for theatres all over the country.
He plans to go to the Cotton Club in New York as soon as his engagement here is ended, and is already booked to return to Washington in the fall.

RALPH COOPER STARS AT HOWARD THEATRE
How's the show at the Howdrad?
Well, it isn't quite up to the standard set when Shelton Brooks mastered the corenies, when they used to have boats floating on the stage, and canoes gliding along between a couple of backdrops, but it's about the best show that's been here for a long time.
In the first place, we get a new master of ceremonies who's got little Bob Williams and his uke down on his knees singing "What's the Matter With Me." Ralph Cooper is there with everything. He's half the show.
Putney Dandridge is the other half, and he stops the show with some piano plunking that just won't quit. Pearl McCormick gets over some clever dancing with her partner and comes back for an encore every time.
The Birmingham Four are playing a return engagement, and sing the same songs that they put over some weeks ago.
Troy Brown has his inning with some comic songs, a sketch, and some funny dancing. He doesn't need much make-up to appear, because of his—small we say—rotund figure that sports a tub belly and several other minor appendages.
Olive Hopkins does a few songs. She has a wonderful voice, but not much else.
The chours had plenty of pep and only needed a little more rehearsal to get their routine down pat. Ralph Cooper steals their best number, "Chocolate Soldiers," with his tap dancing.
Armstrong High School Club Holds Banquet
The very oldest letter club of any high school in Washington, the A Club of Armstrong high school, held its annual meeting at Harrison's Cafe on Saturday, June 15 with nearly all of this year's letter men present, and several alumni as honorary guests. Among these were Raymond Allen, 24, now of Lincoln University; William Temple, 24, ex-captain, Lincoln baseball team: and captain-elect of Lincoln football team, 1930, and Louis Dabney, '28, outstanding football, baseball and basketball player at State College of Virginia, 1928-29.
The sponsor of the club, Mr. Edgar Westmoreland, the presiding officer, who gave an excellent history of the letter club and its ideals, was the presiding officer and presented the various speakers during the courses of the very elaborate banquet.
Mr. A. Kiger Savoy, president of the Eastern Board of Officials, stressed the high ideals of the letter club according to its past history and offered very constructive "A" possibilities for the future in ambition, aspiration, alertness, and achievement; each word of which

GEORGE GODFREY
LOS ANGELES, Cal. — Jack Dempsey, the ex-heavy champ of the world, will probably meet George Godfrey some time in the near future in a bout which might settle the heavyweight championship of the world. Dempsey has been offered $500,-000 to meet Godfrey by Joseph Kennedy, Philadelphia boxing maginate. Dempsey will get $100,000 as soon as he signs the contract. He is reported as having said, in an interview with Gene Nornile and James Cwoffton, partners in a great racing and gambling casino in Mexico, "Godfrey is the man I'll fight." Continuing, he said, "They all look alike to me when I am in that ring. Godfrey has liked all of those fellows except Schmelling.
"If Schmelling stands up June 26 against Uzcudun, he would be the logical man for Agusas Calentes. Otherwise, I'd be willing to take on Godfrey, Uzcudun, or anybody that can draw them In at the gate."

SATURDAY (June 22) only—Final Episode of "THE FATAL WARNING" THE GRIPPING THRILL MYSTERY
Next week the Howard's going to have one of those fast-moving stage presentations, and if it's going to beat this week's it got to be good. But what could anybody expect when they bring us such an artist as Miss Ethel Waters, and the clever gang that's already there—Troy Brown, the rolly-polly funny man; Ralph Cooper, the hot master of ceremonies; and Putney Dandridge, the piano wizard.
Miss Waters, by the way, has just returned from Hollywood, where she made a full length talking picture, "Voice of the City." She sang over the radio a few Mondays ago, on the Vitaphone hour, and was hailed as the feature artist on that program.
It seems as though all the Howard artists are going "talkie." Bob Williams is making four short acts for the canned celluloids; Putney Dandridge went up to New York and made a short, and now comes Ethel Waters, a full-fledged star. In addition to the stage show, we're going to see a couple of snappy pictures. From Monday to Wednesday, it's going to be "Prep and Pep," than there is nothing peppier. From Thursday until Sunday, William Haines will be a "Man's Man," and with little Josephine Dunn, who played with him in "Excess Baggage," to help him, he ought to be a "Lady's Man" too. The story is heightened by the little glimpses of Hollywood life that are thrown in for good measure.
Wednesday night is opportunity night and Saturday is gift night. The midnight ramble will take place as usual on Friday night, at 12:15.
THEM TRUE WORDS
"The Bulletin," a weekly paper published in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, U.S.A., carries the following advertisement under the caption, "To My Customers":
"You are cordially and earnestly requested to pay your accounts at the end of each month. If you are unable to pay in full pay a part. It is becoming a habit now to 'forget to pay,' and this is certainly most unreasonable. How can anyone carry on a business if his capital lies between the shelves and his customers? The result will eventually be diastract. It is also remarkable that in many cases where accounts are pending, customers buy elsewhere for cash. Is this fair?
"There are exceptions to whom this does not apply!"

The very enjoyable meeting was brought to a fitting close by a hearty singing of the Alma Mater song, after a description of its origin and inspiration had been given by the author, Mr. Benjamin Washington.

OUR ECONOMIC STATUS DECLINING
The main problem confronting the Negro today is his economic future. Unless we change our pace and face the situation as it exists, we are doomed to economic slavery within the next 20 years.
The door of opportunity is constantly being closed in our face. We are going hilariously on with the attitude of "Come day, go day, God send Sunday;" and the fact finders notwithstanding.
Jobs are fast slipping away from us. We are not keeping pace with the machine age. Industrialization is passing us almost unheeded. "Man and his machines" are the events of the day in the onward progress.
Industrialization would go a long way in taking care of our problem. Our economic status has almost reached bottom. We produce seventy-five per cent of the cotton in the United States, but we do not control a single spindle for weaving that cotton into cloth. In fact, we own very few gins, no compresses, nor oil mills which change a by-product of cotton, the seed, into useful commercial commodities.
We produce the majority of the sugar cane in Louisiana, but do not own a single mill for converting the cane into sugar. We produce much of the tobacco of Kentucky and Virginia, and are through with it when the leaf is sold.
Even in the matter of general farming and land owning we are declining. Our cotton fields are producing less pounds per acre than they did ten years ago. We are deserting the farms for the hovels of the large cities. What are the "leaders" doing about it?
On going to the cities we do not build a home, but go and purchase the old out-of-date houses left vacant by white people moving into more modern homes and apartments. How many Negroes have built homes here in Washington in the past eight years? Many have purchased, but precious few built their homes.
Where is the organization that is looking out for or endeavoring to foster our economic welfare? There is not a single source to which we may go for first hand information on the subject. There are no national statistics on which we can depend. Is it not time to be aroused and some effort be made in looking forward to changing the situation and the outlook? Shall we continue on with the blind leading the blind? There is so much to be done and every one sitting idle. Philanthropists are easing up in their gracious gifts to us. Jobs are being lost for no other reason than of color. Who will be the Moses to lead the race out of the economic slavery into which it is fast slipping?

To the Editor of the Washington Tribune:
Your editorial in the issue of June 7, moves me to write a word, commending your attitude toward requirements of character, scholarship and administrative ability for the President of our new Teachers' College.
It is, as you say, of utmost importance that the institution be manned by those efficient in every way. What young people among us can afford to waste a single year of the four required to go through college? If the various State Teachers' Colleges and the Departments of Education in universities start their entering students upon work of college grade, why should this one in the Nation's Capital "Continue as they have been doing with a few extra courses for the present?"
You suggest that it might be necessary to look outside the city for capable personnel. This may be true to some extent. But do you know that there is scholarship in the professional ranks here that has received the highest approval of some of the best institutions in the land? Do you know that some of this very scholarship is backed up by pedagogical training and experience unexcelled by that to be found elsewhere? Do you know that some of these very individuals.
Individuals, Citizen.

Dear Sir:
EDITORIAL
The Washington Tribune
equipped as they are by training, experience and cultural contacts have lived among us with unblemished reputations for clean lives and high character? If you question their administrative ability, inquire how they have managed their own opportunities, energies and services to the community. There will be little scope, limited area for one's initiative, little opportunity for expression of personality and individuality in the office of President, because the dictum and dictates of our public school system will be handicaps and impediments. For this reason, persons of high character and scholarly tastes might hesitate to take the head place in this institution.
But Mr. Editor, in your anxiety to have a fitting President do not forget that those who will be of most importance in their relations with the students will be those who have daily charge of classrooms—the instructors and professors; for however well the mere organization is managed, inspiration and guidance in the matter of moral and intellectual attainment must come "from the chair."
However, if this new institution is to bear the fate of the lower strata of our public schools we may expect to see appointments dealt out as private gifts.
We may look for absolute disregard of scholarship and character. We may expect to see a so-called intelligent constituency sit still and bear it all.

GRIST FOR THE MILL
By W. M. Merck
Good-bye, Forever?
Let's think back, folks, and try to recall,
The songs they sang during the late World War.
While some were filled with jazz,
Some were full of the blues of the south;
While one took the taste right out your mouth.
"Good-bye, whiskey, good-bye, gin,
Oh tell me if you're coming back again."
But history repeats itself
Oft times against our will.
No wonder that our Congress
Passed the old Jones bill.
Good-bye whiskey, good-bye gin,
We know you aint coming back again.
It's All Over Now
It will be safer for Alex Ellis, chauffeur who left Augusta, Ga., with his white madame, and until a recent court order, resided with her in Philadelphia, to stay on this side of the Potomac. For he may not be guilty of white slavery or the Mann act, but he certainly stole a Georgia peach.
For Spingarn Medalist
I believe in free speech
But why should I meddle,
Who will or who won't
Receive a Spingarn medal.
Since they have rules that specify
The kind of folk that qualify,
I'll Just keep quiet and carry on.
And, try to receive one of my own.
A Leg Contest
The people of Cleveland, Ohio, seem very interested in family trees. They even had a contest, but the judges were men only, hence, Miss Inez Sterling, a beautiful little manicurist, tipped out ahead of 59 other sprouts with first prize for having the most perfect limbs.
The Rhinelanders
Another "black and white" comedy synchronized with sound, will be released at Las Vegas, Nev., very soon, starring Kip Rhinelander and Alice Jones Rhinelander, entitled "In the Divorce Courts Again." There has been a series of these all talkies featuring these two famous stars. Among the first were:
"He Flirted with a Brown." "He Got What He Wanted." "Was He Color Blind?" "He Forgot to Remember." And comes their latest, "In the Divorce Courts Again," with "Mean to Me," as the theme song.
Moyetone Announcement
Well folks, here's one I can afford to pass up. I strolled into the Lincoln Theater last Friday night just in time to hear the familiar Byars announcement: "Hello, everybody, I just want to tell you people about the wonderful talking pictures we have in store for you. We have 'The Letter.' 'Speakeasy' beginning Saturday for five days, 'Nothing but the Truth.' Oh, yes, tip over to the Howard to see Putney Dandridge and the rest of Irvin C. Miller's Junior Black Birds. I want to tell you that we are managing our own Lincoln Colonnade now. Don't forget Speakeasy, beginning Saturday. We'll say "Good-bye."

Miss Washington served at the Garnet-Paterson school for awhile, and in 1916 was transferred to Lucress Mott School, where she has since served, with an enrollment of about 500 students.

Forty-eight years is a long time to spend in the school room. Many children have passed through Miss Washington's grades and schools in those years. She has a fine record and a woman well loved by all.

EXACTNESS IS ESSENTIAL TO
SCHOLARSHIP
I consider exactness as an essential qualification in the achievement of a scholarship, because offered to the student who has scholarship is an award that is maintained the highest standard in his class work. Take for instance the builder, who is about to construct a colossal temple. What is his method of procedure? The first thing he does is to select a foundation, upon which a magnificent building is to rest. In the selection of this foundation the builder must be accurate. He must be able to know the stability and dexterity of the foundation in its fullest capacity. After having done this he must lay even brick, and and every component part of the structure, in its proper position. And to this end, such a task can only be successfully accomplished by the degree of accuracy, and the proper selection of material. So it is with the student who is aiming to become a prominent character in his classes, from an intellectual point of view. He must acquire that qualification of exactness which is essential in the achievement of a scholarship. Such qualification can only be acquired by letting each day's work be the foundation of tomorrow's work. A foundation like this should be like the mountain; though the storms may come, and the wind may blow, it will stand the test of ages. A student with such qualification is bound to attain a degree of scholarship during his school career. As I have before stated such exactness as related to scholarship is like the builder of a colossal temple, or; on

TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never use the word "nigger."
2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.
the other hand, like the engineer who keeps his eyes steadfast on the rail, and his hand at the throttle. He knows the steam essential to reach his destination at the scheduled time. This stands true with the student as an intellectual engineer, with his eyes fixed on the rail and his hand at the throttle; negotiating a curve, he must know the amount of steam to apply in order to reach his destination in the required time. Such exactness will be rewarded by a high degree of scholarship. Therefore exactness is essential to scholarship, because the student must attain a high standing in his class work, by letting each day's work be paramount to the object in view.
Mrs. Ellen N. Pethel presented a group of piano pupils in a recital last Thursday evening at John Wesley Church. Those taking part included Catherine Johnson, Elizabeth Allen, Alma Montgomery, Alma Vale, Mariana Wallace, Genevieve Orme, Grace Hunt, Kathleen Hunter, Alfred Howe, Ralph Carter, Salome Williams, Alberta Holmes, Laura McDaniel, Grace Minor, Charles Braxton, Marion Carter, Cynthia Jackson, Helen Pethel and Lois Thomas.
One of the outstanding features was the presentation of a rhythm orchestra by the pupils of the Primary Class.
CHILDRREN GIVE RECITAL
A very interesting piano recital was given by the pupils of Miss Elizabeth Harris, at Lincoln Temple on Monday and Wednesday evenings. The students, whose ages ranged from 6 to 15, showed excellent composure at the piano and performed exceptionally well. The program was comprehensive and well arranged.
A classical musical atmosphere was established by the appearance of the participants in court costumes of Mozart's time. Miss Harris is a daughter of the late Prof. Harris, at one time organist.
WILLIAM MAKES
GOOD SUGGESTION
Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, the assistant superintendent of schools, has made it known that there will be a number of meetings during the next school year to help the chain of school papers in the 10-13 divisions of the public schools. In these divisions newspaper work in the last few years has doubled. Over twice the number of papers have appeared during the last few years. The 10-13 divisions already have more papers than the other divisions, but they are to work for more papers. Among the best are the Dunbar Observer, the Armstrong Torch, the Francis Magnet, and the Garrison Lookout. There are other papers that are good.
A club should be formed in which each school will be helped by the others. This club should have a president and his cabinet elected from a junior high school. A big newspaper should direct this club. This will make better school newspapers and more school papers.
