Without solicitation, my friends voted for me on the principles I stood for and not as a canvassing politician, linked with any faction seeking notoriety and self interest. My vote went solidly for the majority of the elected commissioners who represented my sentiments, and I was glad that Mrs. Fannie H. Douglass was re-elected on those principles, which were for the peace, harmony and welfare for both neighbor settlements with common interests. All communities, of whatever race have a hypocrit and trouble maker in their midst, ever ready to distort facts, from which they derive a great personal kick. How to deal with them successfully is a greater problem than the intruder or undesirable visitor. Not for Benefit of Gossip The public or citizens in general of this resort, are not interested in any family misunderstanding, which concerns only the heirs directly, as to who owns the beach or streets or any other property within its confines, and I am not inclined to air the same for the idle gossipers or sensational news readers. My exceptions in that respect will be information given for the benefit of state or county authorities, who may overlook the fact that Highland Beach streets and the beach are private for the con- (Continued on page 2) SOCIAL WORKER ON PRISONERS' AID APPOINTED SOCIAL WORKER ON PRISONERS' AID APPOINTED Washington's first colored social worker on prisoners' aid work is now on duty with the Episcopal City Mission, devoting his time to work and study among the prisoners of his own race. The young man is Donald Bryan, obtained by the Mission from Philadelphia, and he is a trained social worker, fitted in every way to carry on this work. The Rev. George W. Dow, head of the Mission, has long felt that a colored worker was needed to establish contacts among the colored people released from prison, especially in view of the fact that colored people constitute a major percentage of the prisoners needing help. The Community Chest, of which the Mission is a member, allowed the funds for the acquisition of Bryan and he has already taken over his new duties. His first work will be a survey of conditions among colored prisoners and those recently released. CASE AGAINST A. P. SCOTT DISMISSED The case against Albert P.

Ross, of Cliffwood, is the inventor of a new useful and the lightest type of airship as yet known. The novel and practicable invention calls for an airship that can be anchored in midair, transferring passengers and freight from ship to ship as a bridge, one to another, at a standstill in mid-air. Mr. Ross has applied for patient rights on his new invention. He is located in Cliffwood, N.J., where he has his model on exhibit. It has been viewed by a large number of people. POLICEMAN AND MAN FIGHT AT NINTH AND U Harrison Martin Pauls Hit By Policeman In Street Brawl A near riot took place last Sunday night at 9 o'clock, when Harrison Martin Pauls, of 915 U street, engaged in a fight with Policeman G. E. Hopkins, recently transferred to the eighth precinct from No. 2. Crowds of sympathizers gathered around, and only the arrival of a squad from the eighth precinct served to break up the mob. The incident started when the car of Frank Freeman, of 24 Franklin street, northwest, had a slight collision with a car carrying two white boys and a girl in front of the Lincoln Theatre. No damage was done, and the car which had struck Freeman's did not stop. Freeman pursued him in order to obtain the license number, and caught the car at Ninth and U streets, where it had been held up in traffic. Freeman started to take the number when Policeman Hopkins appeared on the scene. Hopkins asked Freeman if he was hurt, to which Freeman replied, "Wait and see." Policeman Hopkins The policeman told Freeman to beat it, and Freeman says that he was struck over the head when he moved too slowly. Pauls, until then a spectator, told Freeman to go ahead and hit the policeman, as he would bear witness that the policeman had struck the first blow. The policeman then turned on Pauls, and knocked him down, beating him severely over the head. A large crowd gathered, and other police were called to disperse the mob. Pauls was arrested on a charge of being disorderly, and Freeman was allowed to go. In police court, Monday, the officer denied having hit either Pauls or Freeman, although there were several places on Paul's head that showed that he had been hit. However the case against Pauls was dismissed. Lawyer Hayes, of Howard, Hayes, and Davis, represented Pauls. They plan to take the case to the trial court for a judgment against the policeman.

He will leave Saturday for his office in Philadelphia. PRESIDENT HOOVER SAVES LAD FROM ELECTRIC CHAIR 'ORGANIZE' SAYS PERRY HOWARD DEPRIEST TO SAYS HE IS FARMERS NOT RESIGNING Should Qualify to Meet Requirements of New Farm Law National Committee Meeting to Affect Future of Negro In Poliitics --- President Hoover, last Wednesday, saved George Herbert Thompson, youthful slayer of his sweetheart, Elsie R. Bown, from death in the electric chair in the District of Columbia jail. The President committed his death sentence to life imprisonment. The death penalty was to have been inflicted Monday. The action of the President was based upon a recommendation made to him by Attorney General William D. Mitchell, United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and various jurists and lawyers associated with the trial of Thompson, which took place last year. After the conviction of Thompson, Attorney Frank J. Kelly be- 'ORGANIZE' SAYS DEPRIEST TO FARMERS Should Qualify to Meet Requirements of New Farm Law In a release at the office of Congressman DePriest, the Illinois member emphasizes the great necessity of the Negro farmers of the country to organize if they hope to obtain the benefits of the new farm legislation now enacted into law. The once proposed measure, said he, is now a law and, provides among other things, "The board shall invite the cooperative associations handling any agricultural commodity to establish an advisory commodity committee to consist of seven members, of whom at least two shall be experienced handlers or processors of the commodity, to represent such commodity before the board in matters relating to the commodity. Members of each advisory committee shall be selected by the cooperative associations from time to time in such manner as the board shall prescribe. . . ." Congressman DePriest said: "I feel that the matter of diversification of crops would tend largely to limit the danger of surplus use of crops in the wrong products. Now that the so-called Farm Relief Bill has passed, Negro farmers should proceed to comply with its provisions, meet its requirements and take advantage of a share in the five hundred million dollar revolving fund. IF COMPETENT COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATIONS DO NOT NOW EXIST, THEN THE FARMERS SHOULD FORM SUCH ORGANIZATIONS AT ONCE IN ORDER TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW." Man In Hospital After Heated Argument In an altercation in a house at 612 Congress Court, northwest, Richard Walker, of the above address, a fifty-five year old laborer, narrowly escaped the permanent loss of sight of his right eye, last Tuesday, August 6. Walker was engaged in a conversation in the house, when Frank Whitney, of the same address, came home, and allegedly started a heated quarrel which grew into an altercation. Frank is said to have been thrown to the floor but jumped up, seized a bottle, and struck Walker over the head, cutting a deep gash under the latter's eye, and bruising him over the face and scalp. He was removed to Freedmen's Hospital and treated by Dr. Chas. J. Doneghy. came interested in the case. He took an appeal to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, himself paying all costs of the appeal. The appellate court affirmed the judgment of the trial court. After the appeal was lost Thompson was sentenced to die June 7. Attorney Kelly obtained a stay of execution to allow the President to consider granting the condemned man a commutation of sentence. A list of more than 1,000 names was signed to the petition which was presented to President Hoover in behalf of Thompson. The youth shot and killed his sweetheart as she sat on a divan in her home at 1010 Kenyon street, northwest, October 31, 1927. They had quarreled over another man. PERRY HOWARD SAYS HE IS NOT RESIGNING National Committee Meeting to Affect Future of Negro In Politics Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, would make no statement Tuesday relative to the report that he is expected to resign. He intimated, however, that he has no such intention. The report that he would submit his resignation became current when Dr. Hubert Work, retiring chairman, issued a call for the meeting of the Republican national committee on September 9 to consider the election of a chairman, a second vice-chairman and members from states where vacancies have occurred. When asked about the report, Mr. Howard said: "Some things do not deserve an answer. There hae been so many rumors about my resigning that the public is not taking them seriously. I am still in politics." President Acts The belief in some quarters that Mr. Howard will resign is predicated upon the proclamation of the President that the Republican organization in Mississippi, of which he is the head, was not to be recognized but was to be dismantled with the organizations in South Carolina and that patronage matters in those states were to be handled by committees to be set up in those states. The national committee will probably select a white man to succeed Benjamin Jefferson Dais in Georgia. A dispute between Mr. Davis and Joseph H. Watson over the outcome of the election of a national committeeman for that state arose at the national convention at Kansas City and the WOMAN FOUND IN GAS FILLED ROOM Miss Hattie Peterson, of 1717 Oregon avenue, northwest, was found in the basement at this address about 11:50 a.m., Wednesday, with a gas jet turned on. According to the report of the police at No. 8 precinct, the case was reported as attempted suicide. The No. 1 Relief Squad was called and she was revived and sent to Gallinger Hospital for observation. A persistent rumor has it that Miss Peterson attempted her life because her "number" failed to come out. Another has it as the result of a love affair. A report from the hospital, Thursday, states she is recovering nicely. Colored Woman Votes In Democratic Primary In Alexandria ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 7.—Mrs. Rachel Beander, of this city, was the only Negro to vote in the Democratic primary held here Tuesday, when Dr. Pollard was nominated for governor. Mrs. Beander, however, scratched every name on the ticket save that of Albert Bryant, who is a candidate for State's attorney. All Negroes have been barred from voting in previous Democratic primaries in Virginia. WASHINGTONI'NS IN ACCIDENT ON VA. ROAD On their way to Norfolk, Va., Saturday afternoon, the car driven by - R. C. Archer, Jr., was side-swiped on the Richmond highway, about forty miles south of Washington and was knocked off the highway down a twelve foot embankment. Fortunately the car did not turn over, nor broke a glass. It was a sedan. In the car were Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Archer, Jr. of 1759 You street, northwest; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Menefee, of Pittsburgh, sister and brother-in-law of Mr. Archer and Miss Bertha Simms, of 761 Irving street, northwest, who were going to Richmond. The car which struck the Archer car was coming north and attempted to pass another car coming north. It had a South Carolina tag on it. It stopped a short while and while a heavy shower of rain was in progress the driver, a white man, drove away. The Archer car had three grips on the left running board and when struck by the other car, the grips were stripped and clothes were scattered everywhere. A hard shower of rain set in and made matters worse. The party continued on to Norfolk on the train. Mr. Archer returned Tuesday morning on the boat. Man Held After Marion Street Brawl Marion Court, northwest went on the rampage Sunday, August 4, and as a result, one man was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital with a razor slash across the forehead and another landed in jail. Conway Goodwin, of 1835 Fifth street, northwest, took too active a part in a brawl late Sunday afternoon in Marion court and a man named Kelley objected to what he called "an interference." The latter, Kelley, at once attempted to subdue Goodwin by beating him about the face and body. Goodwin is alleged to have grabbed a brick, and Kelley pulled a razor and slashed him across the forehead, cutting a deep fissure, five inches long, and severing a blood vessel. Kelly was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and Goodwin was taken to Freedmen's Hospital. Ivan Taylor Improving At Freedmen's Hospital Ivan Taylor, student poet and editor-in-chief-elect of the Hilltop, Howard University's student publication, for whom grave apprehension was held at Freedmen's Hospital last week, is now well on the road to recovery.

He was treated in the emergency clinic of the hospital for a fractured rib and shock. MRS. THROPE FOUND DEAD Mrs. Sophie Thorpe, 62, of 127 S street, northwest was found in bed, Friday morning. Mrs. Thorpe lived with her daughter, Mrs. Bonita Hawkins, at the above address. She retired on Thursday night in fine spirit, planning to go on the picnic, Friday, of the Third Baptist Church. Mrs. Hawkins says she was talking with her as late as 1 a.m. Friday. They retired to get up at 6 a.m. The phone rang about 7:30 a.m., which aroused Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins. Some one was calling Mrs. Thorpe on the phone, and Mrs. Hawkins went to her room to awaken her and found her lifeless. Dr. Whitby was called, however, and pronounced her dead. JOHN BROWN IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT Mr. John H. Brown, of 1511 T street, northwest, met with serious injuries in a traffic accident when a hit-and-run driver struck his car from the rear and left him unconscious on the road. He was taken to the Alexandria Hospital, where it was found he was too badly injured to be removed to his home or to a Washington hospital. At this writing Mr. Brown is improving. Douglass IENT PROFESSORS TO DECIDE ON NEXT MOVE SOON Committee Does Not Believe Usefulness of Men Has Been Destroyed The executive board of Howard University met here, Thursday August 8. Besides the routine matter of making appointments to the school, faculty, the committee received the report of the special committee composed off Dr. Jesse Mooreland, Dr. John R. Hawkins, and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, on the rehearing of the professors who were dismissed in 1928. While no official statement was given out by Dr. Johnson, the president of the university, it was learned that the dismissed men would not be reinstated. In view of the attitude of the committee, this verdict was expected. While the committee considers the charges against the men serious, it does not believe, however, that their usefulness as instructors has been ended. It was learned that the university would be pleased to see the men land positions in some other schools. The professors who appeared before the special committee on June 21 for the rehearing were: Prof. Moses Franklin Peters, former instructor in English, and Prof. William Henry Jones, former professor of sociology. Two others who were dismissed at the same time, did not desire to participate in a rehearing. Both of them have already secured good positions. The refusal of the executive committee to reinstate the men may cause court action. The men have engaged counsel. In fact, their counsel appeared at the reheating which, as President Johnson said, was conducted practically as a court. The university also had counsel. The dismissed men now will probably carry their case back to the full trustee board and to the National Association of University Professors before taking it to the courts as a last resort. INJURED MAN LEAVES HOSPITAL, THOUGH SERIOUSLY HURT A compound fracture of the left leg was insufficient to compel Howe lee Clement, 85, of 2205 Ninth street northwest, to remain in the hospital. He was struck by an automobile at Ninth and Barry place, northwest, Saturday night, July 27. Carter was crossing Ninth street near his home on the corner of Barry place, northwest, when he was struck down by the car driven by William Mullen, of 2018 Ninth street, northwest. He was placed in Mullen's car and rushed to Freedemen's hospital's emergency clinic, and upon examination by Dr. George S. Martin found to be suffering with a fracture of both bones of the left leg and internal injuries. He refused hospitalization, however, accepting only preliminary treatment. He left the hospital lying flat on his back. REV. JERNAGIN IN ATLANTIC CITY Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, spent Sunday and Monday in the city and left on his vacation.

This is to give more and more people a chance to take a dip in the water. The change was effected simply by a re-arrangement of schedules, so that the same staff that was on duty now works in shifts instead of straight through. Francis has just received its certificate of affiliation with the American Red Cross. This is the first colored pool to receive such a certificate. Plans for the water meets, to be held on the 17th, 24th, and 31st of this month, are just about completed. The Baltimore swimming team has signified its intention of entering the meet, and a special team cup is being awarded for out-of-town competition. Pendleton, the head life guard, is coaching the swimmers, especially in the backstroke. Joe Drew is putting the breast swimmers into shape, and Charles Drew is working up the diving end of the program. Dr. Hugh Simmons and Dr. Charles Wylie inspected the pool a few days ago. Both were greatly pleased with the sanitary conditions. The Playground and Recreational Association, headed by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, visited, last week. They were given a demonstration in life saving, and inspected the pool. The Dunbar Pool is also going The umpire situation in colored baseball is ever a perplexing proposition. Year in and year out the managers are constantly in dire straits for want of competent arbitrators. President Heydler, of the National League, lays down several requisites for one who would qual- ify as a good umpire. First one must have a knowledge of all of the playing rules of the game at his fingertips, second, he must be able to pass quick judgment on an n y p l a y thirdly, he must have the courage of his P convictions, and fourthly, he must have an unbiased attitude toward the players. Colored baseball must in the near future depend more and more upon umpires of color because of the Cardozo Wins Southern Conference Track Meet,49-42 The Cardozo playground came out victorious in the Southern conference meet held Wednesday week at the Cardozo playground. Sixth and L playground was second, scoring 42 points against 49 for the victors. Cardozo scored most heavily with the unlimited class, where the other playgrounds were not so well represented. Willow Tree came third, with forty tallies; Barry Farms scored but one point, and the Payne entries were unable to place, although both teams had a large number of men. W. Brown in the unlimited class and Black in the 100-pound class were the high point scorers, each winning two firsts. Sixth and L showed great form in defeating the Cardozo limited relay team, Perry, the anchor man, winning by a narrow margin. Pleasant Plains Bulls Beat Washington All-Star Team Pleasant Plains Bulls Beat Washington All-Star Team NORBECK, Md.—The Pleasant Plains Bulls, with Billy Hawkins in the box, easily won a game from the Washington All-Stars here last Sunday. Billy is the ace of his club, and won the second game of the double bill to the tune of 16-5. This is the eighteenth straight game he has won. Nelson, also a star right handler who has been having no trouble in winning games so far, found himself in the opener, and handily won it by a score of 22-2. The Pleasant Plains Bulls will play a doubleheader with a white team Sunday in Anacostia, D.C. The games will be called at 1:30 and 4:00 p.m. full swing these days. Girls swim from 3 to 4:30, and boys from 4:30 to 6. Large groups of school children have been attending the pool, which is under the direction of the Community Center. A water carnival was held on Thursday night at 7:30. Events on the program included underwater swims, 20 and 40 yard dashes, candle races, inner tube races, plunging, diving, life saving, and water games. A special loving cup has been awarded Edwin Bruce for the world championship in the broad span jump. The award was made at the water meet. The tennis tournament at Garnet-Patterson is progressing rapidly. So far Francis Brown, Jack Henderson, Marshal Nick, and Joseph Hager look best for participation in the finals. The baseball series played at Garnet now has the Spartans in first place, Lightnings, second; Braves, third; and Giants, fourth. The series has nearly been completed. There has been quite a bit of controversy over the winner of the winner of the recent western conference meet, held at the Howard Stadium, Monday, two weeks ago. After several claims of ineligibility had been taken care of, and a final count made by the playground committee, it was decided that there was a tie between Garnet-Patterson and Howard, each having 55 points. fact that whenever a white umpire shows ability above the average, he is promptly signed by one of the many white leagues. Colored baseball does not have the many classified leagues from which to recruit its arbiters, and so it is necessary to get them from wherever they can be found. There are two principal types of umpires. First, there are those who have developed themselves through hard and earnest endeavor, and, secondly, those former players with the proper qualifications to become umpires. Most of the umpiring staffs are built around older and more experienced members. The American League, if it would, could build up a competent staff of arbiters around such veterans as "Spike" Spencer, "Danny" Despert, Caesar Jamieson, "Judy" Gans, and "Bill" Gatewood. The players themselves could assist the umpires through courteous observance of the rules, and by avoiding all unnecessary arguments. Manchesters Win Game From Anacostia Junior Team The Anacostia Juniors lost their 5th game in 32 starts last Sunday, when they were held at bay by "Cannon Ball" Ford, Manchester's ace pitcher. Ford allowed only five scattered hits, and struck out ten men. The final score was 11-7. Greene, who played first for the Manchesterers, led the batting list with three safe bingles out of three times at bat. He scored two runs, as did Mason, Wood, and Ellis. Gross and Brown hit doubles, but no one got a homer. EDDIE TOLAN TO TOUR EUROPE WITH SIX Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan sprint ace, is off for Europe, where he will go on a barnstorming track tour with six other athletes. Tolan is holder of the 100 and 200 A.A.U. championships, and for a while was holder of the world championship for the century. Tolan says that he was cheated out of a race in the recent Vancouver races, when Percy Williams, of Vancouver, was given a victory by the judges. Tolan said that he was at least a foot ahead of the Canadian at the tape, and was never so surprised as when the judges, all Canadians, awarded the prize to Williams. "It was the worst decision I ever saw," said Tolan. He is sure, however, that he will receive fair treatment on the European tracks. The trip to Europe is being sponsored by a Stockholm newspaper, Goat Idrottsforening, and the Sweedish Daily News of New York. Stockholm will be the main stopover, and the athletes will visit Hanburgh, Cologne, Berlin, Oslo, and perhaps London. Billy Edwards Knocks Out Battling Siki in Third Round In Tennis Tournament MISS ANITA GANT, one of the leading contenders in the Chicago National Tennis Tournament. Miss Gant is a Washington girl. Departmental OPE W.C. Tranyham With the Agricultures "in" on the first series, all that remains of interest for the fans is the forthcoming championship series between the Aggies and G. P. O. winners of the first and second series. After receiving a drubbing in all previous games, the tables were turned. The Aggies gained a clear cut game, the printers' alibi being that a ball hit by Fountroy was fair. Our old friend, "Spike" Spencer, was on the job. He ruled it foul, and when "Spike" says foul, he generally is right, with space to spare. Bailey made good his promise to win his next start against the Printers. There is no question but that the kid was invincible. Carter seems to be the class of the hot corner guardians, while Ross has many supporters. The former has a slight edge due to his hitting power. Here's hoping Managers Fitzhugh and Hughes will agree to play the little world series before the season is over. Batting averages are near completion and will be made public within the next week. Wrestling Match Ends In Broken Collarbone As a result of a "champen" wrestling match in a house at Seventh and S Streets, James Mason is in Freedmen's Hospital with a broken collar bone. The match, which came off Tuesday night, August 6, was to settle forever the argument between James Mason and William Golden, which was the best wrestler. A tight grip by Golden and the severe shock from a broken claricle sent Mason sprawling to the floor. The severe pain caused Mason to walk to Freedmen's Hospital, where examination by Dr. T. I. Gandy in the emergency operating room revealed a broken collar bone. Mason has to stay in the hospital for some time. Hillsdales Stop Hawks, 6-5 And Washington Athletics, 8-6 Both the Hawks and the Washington Athletics fell before the fast stepping Hillsdale team last Sunday, when the Hillsdales defeated the former by a score of 6-5, and the latter to the tune of 8-6. The Hillsdales proved that they are still the leading team of the city by coming from far behind to take a ding-dong decision from the stubborn Hawks in the last half of the ninth inning. The victory was their thirteenth in their last eighteen starts. The Hillsdales will play the Myr- the A.

NEW YORK—The best "natural" match of the New York outdoor season was signed here when Al Singer, Bronx junior lightweight, and Kid Chocolate, sensational Cuban bantamweight, agreed to box twelve rounds, August 29, at the Polo Grounds. The New York favorites agreed to weigh 128% pounds or less. Gratitude in a prize fighter has come to be such an unusual trait in these days of overthrown managers, overstuffed purses, and overexaggerated controversies, that the case of Kid Chocolate is almost too good to be true. A little more than a year ago, the flashing Cuban, "Keed," one of the cleverest bits of fighting machinery the modern ring has produced, drifted into New York with his manager, broke and in need of immediate action. They visited every fight club in the metropolis without even landing a match in an opening four round. Discouraged, the tall Negro boy drifted out to the soldiers' camp at Mitchell Field, where once a week the lesser lights of the leather-tossing industry battle for coffee and cake money at a tiny fight club. The smiling "Keed" got his first chance there. Climbs To Top From the first moment Chocolate lifted his hands in action, he was a sensation. The Cuban youngster, only 19 years old, is a perfect boxer with the techniQUE of the old masters, a stiff puncher with either hand and an engaging ring personality. Within a few weeks every promoter in the metropolis wanted his services. Within the year Chocolate bounded up the fistic trail, beating with ease every top-nitcher he faced in the bantam and featherweight divisions. His victories over Bushey Graham, Fidel Labarba and Vidal Gregoria have left him almost in a class by himself. Promoters are pleased to set his night's wages around $15,000. But Chocolate, the sensation now, has never forgotten the days when only the doors of the Mitchell Field Club were open to him. He promised to come back whenever the matchmaker there wanted him. This week he will keep his promise. For a few hundred dollars instead of thousands he will box Tommy Lorenzo ten rounds for the soldiers Wednesday night. Another Negro, Baby Joe Gans, of California, shades the New York spotlight with Chocolate. Gans will battle Sergt. Sammy Baker, tough soldier warrior, in the headline match at the Qeensboro Stadium, Tuesday. BLACK SOX DROP TWO TO CHERRYDALE, 6-3, 9-6 zOnce again the Cherrydale nine took the measure of the Black Sox in both games at Union League Park, Sunday. Smith started on the mound in the first, but after granting six runs was relieved by Bland, who had to use his full bag of tricks to keep the determined firemen from the pan. King came within a few inches of winning the game in the final inning when his drive just missed clearing the center field fence. Bland came back in the last game, errors by Jefferson and Smith causing his defeat. For a brief period the Sox enjoyed a big lead at the expense of McDonald with the prospects of an even break, only to see it vanish Because of the large number of local teams claiming the championship of Washington, a series has been arranged by the Tribune to determine the real champion of the District. Five strong teams have been entered, the Anacostia Juniors, the Black Barons, the Willow Trees, the Manchesterers, and the Spartans. All of these teams profess to have some claim to the district championship, either by their percentage of wins, or because they have beaten some other so-called champions. The Tribune series is simply a play-off in order that only one team may be called the champion hereafter. The schedule, which is almost completed, is as follows: Anacostia vs. Willow Trees. Sunday, August 11, Four-and-a-half and Maine Ave., 2 o'clock. Black Barons vs. Spartans, Monday, Aug. 12, Dunbar Stadium, 4 o'clock. Black Barons vs. Willow Trees, Sunday, Aug. 18, Four-and-a-half and Main Ave., 2 o'clock. Spartans vs. Willow Trees, Wednesday, Aug. 14, Four-and-a-half and Maine, 4 o'clock. Spartans vs. Manchester, Sunday, Aug. 18, Ivy City, 2:30. Willow' Trees vs. Manchester Tuesday, Aug. 13, with the-a-half and Maine, 4:30 o'clock. Several games with the Anacostia Juniors have yet to be arranged but will be during the next week. Each team will play one game with each of the other teams, making four games for each team. At the conclusion of this series, the two teams having the highest percentages will meet each other in a three game series for the District junior championship. August 21, is the closing date for all games to be played. All games will begin on time, and any team that does not show up within half an hour after the starting time scheduled forfeits that game. Colesville Tigers Take Two; 13-9 and 10-2 The Anacostia A. C. team went down to defeat before the fast-traveling Colesville (Md.) Tigers on July 28, the score being 13-9. The local boys were leading by 9-6 in the sixth inning, but in the lucky seventh the Colesville team sent "Lefty" Smith to the showers after six runs had crossed the pan. Last Sunday the Tigers took their ninth straight game when they defeated the Brookland Giants by 10-2. "Smokeball" Frazier was on the mound for the visitors and had the local team eating out of his hand. "Bump" Colbert led the Tigers at bat, with Andrew Bailey as the home run hero of the day. The Tigers will meet the Seminary Black Sox in a doubleheader at Colesville, Md., next Sunday. in the next frame with the Cherries forging ahead. They were never headed. Jefferson was badly bruised in the second inning of the night cap and showed his gameness in taking his place afield with such a painful injury. Smith and he let few balls slip through their mites. The final found the Sox going down fighting, as they never give up, but trying to give the fans their best at all times. Thousands in U. S. and Canada Await This Announcement!

DIAMOND DUST "Rats" Henderson, star right- hander of the Bacharach Giants, has returned to his old time form, allowing the strong Hilldale club only two hits in a game in New York, August 4. O. Cooper, the corpulent pitcher, has been released outright by the Bacharachs. The Bacharachs played two games on Sunday, August 4, without making an error. "Joe" Lewis, Hilldale catcher, is out of the game with a fractured leg. "Scrappy" Brown, former Black Sox shortstop, is now with the Brooklyn Royals. "Luther" Farrell, mighty left-hander, is now on the police force in Atlantic City. Farrell struck out twelve men in five innings in a recent tilt between Baltimore and Atlantic City police teams. Russ, shortstop for the American Giants of Chicago, was recently suspended for five days by Judge Hueston for trying to garrote an umpire. Alexander Pompez, the genial owner and manager of the Cuban Stars, now has his full strength for the first time this year. Bullet Rogan, manager of the Kansas City Monarchs, expects to win the championship of the National Negro League in the second half of the split schedule. Thousands in U. S. America's Greatest Tire Chain Exerts Its $2,000,000.00 ASING Siki Goes Down in Defeat Before Big Crowd at Williams Park; Dixon and Parnel Win Siki Goes Down in Defeat Before Big Crowd at Williams Park; Dixon and Parnel Win Before a crowd of nearly a thousand followers of fistiana, Billy Edwards, colored middleweight champion of the south, successfully defended his crown from Battling Siki, middleweight contender, by putting him to sleep in the third round of a scheduled eight-round battle. Edwards, who recently knocked Kid Dixon out here in the first round of another fight, seemed never to be in any trouble, and Siki looked fine until he crumpled up in the third. The fight opened with both men dancing around warily, feeling out the other for some weak spot. Siki hooked a left to Billy's stomach; Billy pushed him into a corner, but he was out in a flash and after Billy, who plastered him with hard rights and lefts to the face as the round ended. Second Round In the second, Siki did a lot of finting, and, although Billy had him in a corner once, the blows rained on him didn't seem to hurt him at all. Siki ducked a terrific right uppercut, but caught some heavy body blows that sat him down outside the ropes. Siki went after Billy fast, but Billy managed to duck the harder ones until the whistle ended the round. Billy's best break came in the third, when Siki was too slow about getting out of his corner when the whistle sounded. Siki was caught in the corner, and Billy managed to land quite a few hard right hand punches. Siki turned him around, and socked back as fast as he could, but Billy kept after him with a series of left jabs to Siki's stomach. Siki Argues Siki turned to complain to the referee, and Edwards stepped in and punched him a couple of stiff rights to the face, sending Siki to his knees. Siki at first tried to rise again, but as the referee counted, he only sank lower and lower until at the fatal ten he was completely down on the floor. He had to be carried back to his corner by Billy Peyton, his second. Speedy Gets Decision In the preliminaries, Speedy Dixon, our old friend, won a decision from Battling Chandler. Speedy worked much harder than Chandler, running around the ring after him, and punching his hardest when Chandler would cover up. Chandler never got in any good punches, but seemed content to let Speedy work on him just as hard as he wanted to, and to stand, bent almost double, while Speedy punched at his sides and back. Speedy was after Chandler all the time, and Chandler seemed to be having a good time, grinning as the punches rained on him. Garnet - Patterson Downs Bruce Playground The Garnet-Patterson track team invaded the Bruce playground cinder path Tuesday of last week to win its second track victory of the season with a score of 71-51. The featured events, the relays and the races run by the smaller boys, aroused the greatest interest of the spectators. The Spartans, a club of local playground boys, played an important part in winning the meet. L. Washington, of Garnet-Patterson, was the high point scorer. The results were as follows **85-POUND CLASS** DASH—Granton (G. P.) first; Scott (G. P.) second; Logan (G. P.) third; Miller (G. P.) second; Johnson (G. P.) third; Miller (G. P.) second; Johnson (G.

If "Big" George would take his baseball seriously he would just about top all colored first sackers. "Candy" Jim Taylor, manager of the St. Louis Stars, is a fighting type of hustling manager. He always has a first class club. Burbage, right fielder for the Baltimore Black Sox, has made a good start as a hitting outfielder. Chandler was almost out of the ring once, but took everything with a bland smile and grinned again as Speedy was given the decision. The second fight, between Kid Jap, featherweight champion of Detroit, and Archie Parnel, of this city, ended when Parnel's glove, covered with resin where he had braced himself against falling to the floor in the previous round, cut a deep gash in Jap's forehead. Jap did not seem to be exhausted, and came back for more, but his seconds called him into his corner, as blood was flowing into his eyes. The decision was given to Parnel. Licthman Buys Norfolk Theatre; Lincoln A.A. Gives Benefit Show NORFOLK HOUSE ADDED TO CHAIN NORFOLK, Va.—Negotiations were completed here Tuesday by which the Attucks Theatre comes under the control of A. E. Lichtman, theatre magnate of Washington, D.C. The playhouse was leased with option of purchase from the Attucks Theatre, Inc., a subsidiary of the Gates Theatre chain, which some weeks ago due to losses said to have been sustained through other theatrical holdings filed a petition of voluntary bankruptcy. The sum involved in the deal was not made public by Mr. Lichtman, who was here this week directing preparatory work in the renovation of the theatre. Final and tentative plans disclosed by the new owner included the installation of the latest model of Western Electric talking picture equipment, redecorating and painting of the entire interior, hanging of drapes, and the laying of carpet, all of which will harmonize in an original and artistic color scheme.

Ulma Banks, cashier of the bank, testified that she had turned over about $735 of the theatre's money to Burtt, and that he had placed it in a cigar box and in the safe. She says that she heard him lock the safe. Mrs. Katherine Reagan, treasurer, said that there was over $1,000 in the safe from the previous day's receipts when she left the night before the robbery occurred. The most damaging evidence came from Benny Beaver, night watchman of the theatre, who said he had seen Burtt several times on the morning of the robbery, the last time being at 5:50 a.m., when BY THEATRE NET, N.W., (near Q St.) IN TALKS EACH DAY BY—AUGUST 11 and 12 THELMESS in RIVER" and Talking —AUGUST 13 WHIP" with —LOWELL SHERMAN in Music and Sound ERSDAY—AUGUST 14, 15 HOLT in VAN AFFAIR" and Talking BY—AUGUST 16 and 17 HARMONY" S—NANCY CAROL Singing, Dancing PROJECTS EVERY DAY WILL BE MOST POPULAR GIRL?

Wilson has come to New York to take charge of the production of "The Wall Between," a play which he wrote to succeed "Porgy." The new opus is now in rehearsal and Wilson is directing it in conjunction with Jack Goldberg. "The Wall Between" is scheduled to open in Philadelphia the last week in August and after its baptism of criticism there it will take its place on Broadway as one of the shows to inaugurate the new season. Burtt had asked him to go to a neighboring restaurant to get breakfast. Leaves Janitor The two went into the restaurant, which is near the theatre, and after ordering and paying for two dinners, Burtt excused himself, saying that he had an appointment and could not finish eating. However, Beaver himself admitted he had stolen from the theatre previously, and that he was now out on bail with a charge of assault against him. The general manager testified that Burtt knew the combination of the safe, and an expert testified that the safe was practically burglar proof and could not have been broken or opened by someone who did not know the combination. Burtt did not take the stand, but was held over for Friday's grand jury. DAILY 2 to 11 P.M. HEAR IT HERE! SATURDAY, SCAN JOHN BOLES star of "The Desert Song".

THEATRE ROMANCE CUL- MINATES IN MARRIAGE A romance of long standing was disclosed last week when Mrs. Alice Evans, of Lynchburg, Va., announced the marriage of her daughter, Pearl, to Mr. Charles Turpin. The bride for some years has been employed as an usher at the Republic Theatre, and her husband is assistant projectionist at the same theatre. The young couple were married in Baltimore last January and successfully kept their marriage a secret until recently, not even their fellow-employees suspecting it. A reception given in Lynchburg last Tuesday in honor of the newlyweds was attended by many guests, several of whom were from distant points. Many useful and valuable gifts were present to Mr. and Mrs. Turpin. They are making their home at 765 Morton street, northwest.

Stepin Fetchit Must Pay Girl $5,000 for Jilted LOS ANGELES, Calif—Stepin Fetchit, the Negro film star who rose so rapidly to fame in "Hearts in Dixie" and "Fox Movietone Follies," used to love Yvonne Butler, 17, of this city, or at least he told her he did. Stepin, whose real name is Lincoln Perry, went off and decided to marry another girl. Yvonne read about his marriage and it broke her poor little heart, just $10,000 worth. However, when Stepin decided not to pay her anything and to take the case to court, Yvonne decided that maybe her heart wasn't worth so much, and came down to $5,000. The settlement was approved by the superior court here. Baltimore Doesn't Like Leg Shows Any More Than Washinton Edward Gonzales, who goes about the country in a quest for the most beautiful legs in America, won't be back in Washington or Baltimore for some time. Gonzales has been staging leg contests all around the country, but most of them have failed due to poor management and the fact that the girls aren't keen on finding out who has the most beautiful legs, especially when they have to get upon a platform before a crowd and have them measured. In Washington, Gonzales made a fine mess of the contest, and when it was all over, no one, not even himself, knew who had won. He then went to Baltimore, where he attempted to stage a similar affair, but there were even less persons attending that affair than at Washington. There were eight-entrants in Baltimore, and only ten here. Only about 250 per- JBLI Vitaphone and Mov AY, TUESDAY A UNIVERSAL PICTURE Boat" a Plante UNIVERSITY PICTURES SCANDAL!

There was a large turnout of Harlemites, partly because of the cooler weather, and the affair was a financial success as well.

DOUGLASS IS REELECTED BY COMMISSIONERS New Ordinances Passed Fines for Violations Are $5 to $40 Haley Douglass, chairman of the board of commissioners and mayor of Highland Beach, Md., was reelected for another term at a meeting of the commissioners of the popular bayside summer resort last Saturday. His re-election was by acclamation. When nominations were announced as in order, Mr. Douglass presented the name of Dr. William A. Wells for chairman of the board, and stated that while the membership of the board was made up of men all of whom possessed requisite qualifications for the office, he felt that Dr. Wells, because of his active interest and participation in the affairs of the community during the past year, as well as his many other qualifications which fitted him peculiarly for the position, should be the choice of the board. Wells Declines Dr. Wells obtained the floor and in declining the nomination briefly rehearsed the growth of Highland Beach from a small settlement of four or five homes to the present large community of thirty or more dwellings, presenting many perplexing and complicated problems of regulation and government, which he stated, must now be met in order that much future trouble might be avoided. He indicated that it was his belief that the present was not the proper time to make any changes and that because of Mr. Douglass' long and intimate knowledge of the affairs of Highland Beach as well as of the peculiar relation existing between Mr. Douglass and the property owners of the community, he believed Mr. Douglass was the logical one to continue in the office of chairman. Dr. Wells further pointed out that Mr. Douglass held in trust for the residents certain rights which they looked to him carefully to guard for them; that there were certain obligations which Mr. Douglass in turn owed to the community, and that he could best serve the community by continuing as its mayor. Attention was also directed by Dr. Wells to the fact that the commissioners were always the servants of the people and that it was their duty at all times to carry out the expressed wishes of the residents of the community. He then moved that the commissioners, as an expression of their confidence, reelect Mr. Douglass by acclamation.

Other officers elected by the new board were Dr. John E. Washington, re-elected as town clerk, and Talley R. Holmes, town treasurer. Carrying out its policy of safeguarding the health, safety, and comfort of the community, the board adopted the following new ordinances: "No. 11. Permits shall be required for the location, establishment, and maintenance of buildings or premises which, without constraint or regulation, might interfere with the health, safety and comfort of the community or result in a public nuisance. "No building shall be erected, located, estbalished, or maintained within the corporate limits of Highland Beach without a permit from the board of commissioners, and no part of said premises shall be used, except as a private dwelling, for a hospital, asylum, cemetery, public garage, open or enclosed, storage yard, stable or pens for animals, nor for any factory, manufacturing or for any business or trade whatsoever without the written consent of the owners of seventy-five per cent of the property in the block and blocks confronting said block. "No. 12. Any person violating any of the provisions of the foregoing ordinances numbered 1 to 11, inclusive, shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than forty dollars for each offense." The previous ordinances passed by the commissioners did not carry any penalty for their violations. T. R. Faulkner to Address Associated Business Club Thomas R.

He stated that this is a fact finding committee and not a charitable affair. He stated that the colored child would be given every consideration, not as a separate entity, but in the subdivisions under which they may come as recreation, medical attention, education, etc. MRS.

In every profession there must come a period of preparation. Business is far more fundamental than the profes- sions, then why not prepare for a life in business as well as for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, the law or teaching? In each of these professions there must be a ‘period of pre-college training and then trom three to four years of specialization in the school of the pro- Hfession to be followed. After graduation there must be an examina- tion before opening an office or securing a position. Of the physician there is required a year of interneship in some good hospital. However, in business it is far different. We see some one ap- parently sueceeding and we decide that we can succeed too ,and “haul off” and go into business without the first preparation. Often we do not even know what brand of goods we will sell, nor where they are to be had. We know little or nothing of the history of the line of business we want to enter, its weak points, nor its strong features. And when it comes to buying, we are at the mercy of the salesman whom we accost for our first order. Many a Negro entering business never heard of the axiom: “Goods well bought are half sold.” If he decides on selling shoes, he does not study leather, its curing and tanning. The many compositions or imitations. Nor does he go to a modern shoe factory and get first hand knowledge of how his merchandise is made. Nor does he know much about sizes, widths, thickness of sole, or of the turn, the good- Year, or the mackay sewed. Ask him if ‘the soles of the shoes he expects to purchase are to be of 12, 14 or 16 irons and he will look blank as if you were talking in Greek or Hebrew. And of stock- Keeping? Well, he has no system. If he is in'or plans to enter the clothing or dry goods business, he does not visit a factory and learn of the different weaves and weighst. of cloth. Of shoddy, mixed and pure wool, silk or linen, his knowledge is meagre. And this is true of nearly every line and every ‘Negro who attempts to open a place of business. ‘And when it comes to the books or accounting end, he is almost as blank as he is on the composition and make of his goods. He has no idea of what it cost him to do business, nor his percentage of turnover in stock and help. His lack of system and proper accounts Js romething woeful, And why? Because the majority of Negroes now in business and those thinking of entering business have not given a single day to preparation and study. In the professions there are summer schools, short courses, lecture courses post courses, and circle reading for the purpose of keeping abreast with the times and “stepping up” to advanced degrees, But with the Negro in business there is no such “imrpovement.”” Seldom, if ever, will you even see a magazine or journal of the line handled by the Negro in business, upon his desk. There is no pre-schooling or special training, nor institutes, nor short courses, And as may be expected, we have a larger percentage of failures in business than all of the professions combined. Had the Negro barber kept pace with the modern improvements and requirements, would he have slipped as he has? Where is there a Negro Barber's College?” Every large city in the United Staces has a white barber's college. If the Negro caterer had kept pace with improvements and demands would he have lost his place as he has today? If the Negro banker had kept pace with the demands of his clients would we have 34 banks today where we use to have 84? If the Negro grocer had kept pace organized into chains, installed modern cases and refrigerators and employed window dressers and advertising experts, would his number have dropped to the low ebb of today? If the newspaper owners and managers had kept abreast with the times, stopped clipping stale news and using rehashed releases of stale news, introduced modern circulation and accounting methods, cor- rected their circulation reports and concentrated their circulation in the local field from which their advertisers could get returns, would there be the large number of failures credited to our effort in journalism? Business and commerce are fundamental and we can never hope to make real progress as a race or as a group, until we prepare for Gnd Neep up fn our business and. commercial efforts. HELP MAKE TRAFFIC SAFE. Every one can do his bit to make traffic more safe. And since you can do it, you should. . e Major Pratt, superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Force, has been por special attention to the traffic problem here and the month of July bore fruit of his efforts. There were only five persons killed in July as compared with 11 in June. We had a period of 34 days without a traffic death. This is commendable. There were 173 minor traffic injuries in July as somber with 278 in June. The total number of accidents in July was 382 as com- i with 519 in June. This is quite a reduction in all traffic acci- ents. Major Pratt said: “The public must realize that its own life is in danger, It should not be the attitude of the average civilian that it is none of his business if the other fellow breaks the law; he can never tell when it will become his business very seriously, if the law-breaker’s car sernecs to hit him, or his wife or his children, instead of some other bystander or his family.” ‘ You can help by being careful in crossing the streets at other points than at intersections. Parents can assist and really help their own children by impressing upon, them the importance of care in playing in the streets an caution them about running out into the streets from between cars or froni behind a car in motion. ‘The stiff fines imposed for the last month has had a deterrent effect upon careless motorists, and as a judge said: “A fine of $2.00 has little effect on # driver, but if one of $25.00 is placed, it will make the driver think of his carelessness.” Let everyone do his bit in co-operating with Major Pratt and the traffic bureau to make the streets of Washington safe. REV. SIMON DREW A NUISANCE Rev. Simon Drew ,who worked himself completely out here in Washington with his nonsensical schemes, has found a fertile field ir New York City. He has announced himsélf as a candidate for mayor of New York against Mayor Walker. There is no organization behind him and nothing to him. He is simply a nuisance to the race. Con- stantly pulling off one stunt after another for publicity. ‘The white papers take him up for the sarcasm and levity they can produce, Rev. Drew and men of his ilk are a heavy weight retarding the progress of the race. He was constantly seeking funds for various Schemes which he tried to promote. | With Negroes like Drew con- stantly harassing white people for a donation to this and a donation for that are doing more harm than can be offset and giving the race a black eye. It is men of the Drew type who cause white people to think of the Negro as “Uncle Toms” and “donation seckers.” Simon Drew does not represent the race, He is an individual “Santa Claus hunter,” but his impressions on the opposite race is fatal to the intel- ligent, efficient and upstanding Negro, UM for the benefit of humanity, by FOR' boosting for a greater Tribune eaeGI fay you stand as fine as Tous- THANKS FOR THIS saint L’Overture, and show the fo the Editor, heroism of a Charles Young.

HIGHLAND BERGE EDITOR'S NOTE.—A summary of at- tempts to embarrass Ware's Hotel this season is as follows: First, Mayor Doug- Tass acted ax agent for an owner to fence off a lot that hotel gueity had been ac~ customed to park ears “upon. Second, Mayor Douglass submitted to the commis. sioners ordinances, one of which simed at the prevention wf "the parking of cars on streets except ty permission of residents : others sought to require hotel licenses and the prevention of music and dancing af- ter, midnight. ‘Taird, two citizens acting as “stool pigeons" informed Annapolis au- thorities that liquor was being sold at Ware's, which was disproved. Fourth, in the past’ week, a health inspector from Baltimore came over upon the supersti- tious insistence of a town official who claimed Ware was not meeting sanitary Inws of the State. ‘The inspector gave Ware a clean slate and was extremely angry for being sent out on what was termed a “spite” job, Ware stated after, the last attack, that every knock was proving a boost, as re- auests for accommodations are not falling Fifth, some news writer from the Beach reported that the residents of the exclu- sive town Kept within their homes when the hotel guests were abroad. This has incensed many of the residents who spent the day on the beach in company with hotel guests, PART Il. An active group of Jess than one-half dozen residents has worked stundily to get rid of the hotels at Highland Beach, Md. First, they would run out Ware, then Flagg. Why are they so it: ter against the hotels? Is it ver- sonal feeling? Are the hotels pub- lie nuisances? Only Half Dozen Complain From what the writer can learn, opposition to the hotels comes from less than one-half dozen property owners, Complaints from mem- bers of this group repeatedly flow to county authorities. Almost none work in the open. Back porch and card table gossip with its us- ual run of misstatements are the breeding sources of dissatisfac- tion. One item of factegrows by gossip to a mountain of news. By leaving out the personal ani- mosities that Ware has -ade in his fight to live, the only outstand- ing objectional fact is stated to be that the Sunday crowds rob cot- tagers of privacy and bring in ob- jectional strangers to the town. ‘An article published few, weeks ‘ago stated that gambling and drink- ing in the open was goiug on at one of the hotels and endangering the morals of the children. Pub- lication of the offense led to its correction. Late night dancing parties have been referred to, but these at the hotels were not ro much objected to as some of the soire’es given by the young people at their, homes. | Liquor, it) is charged, has been drunk at the ho- tel. ‘The writef hears that some of the private citizens also drink ‘in their homes. No drunks have appeared in public, Then what ‘hotel keeper can keep a guest from 'B. H. 0. L.? Main St. Residents Annoyed Now, the facts seem to be these. A few residents live on Main etreet and say that they are annoyed by ‘the great numbers of people and cars passing; | They report no dis orderly conduct. Had they pre- viously suspected that the place was going to develop as it has they would not have bought where they did, yet no one has sold or offered for sale. Seldom do more than 300 people visit the hotels on Sunday. Dinner is practically the only meal served. ‘The automobiles” have gone before sun-down, and for the balance of the week the town set- tles down to normal quiet. One leader of the mal-contents has been on the war-path in fomenting trou- ble for Ware’s Hotel ever sinre Ware's 55-room edifice spread sky: ward, fore. and aft, and forever hid most st pie pens wiew of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. An- other is his kinsman—hence sheres 1HE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1929 his woe. Another leading oppon- ent feels that if any money is to ‘be made in the place, he is the only one to make it. His wrath is in- curred whenever anyone clse en- lists. in a money-making _enter- prise. One other worker in this group is an ambitious social lead- er in the town who spreads the views of the other members of the cabal, Hotels Are Desirable Are the hotels desirable? The people for many years have con- sidered them so, especially do they ‘who own lots, but have not builded, and who like to visit the town. Shortly after Major Douglass end his wife built, they advertised for visitors, solicited excursions, pic- nics, built a bath-house for the public, and. opened a boarding jouse ‘that served all comers. Then the Major begged Bowen of Bal- timore, a successful caterer, to help him meet the need of the hungry visitors to whom Major Douglass sought to sell lots. Bowen’s hotel would sometimes have so many oy that many would have to sleep in the neigh- ene barn. Bowen finally retired and later died. Major Douglass then sought out Richard Ware, a shoe merchant in Washington, and urged him to open o hotel. Ware did so. His social standing, his big ideas, and his expanding buihi- ing caused the friction mentioned ‘above. Then came Annazine Flagg, the popular hostess of a Washing- ton hostelry. As a member of a pro- minent family, and of assured so- cial status, Mrs. Flagg took over the Bowen House, renovated it, and attracted much ‘of the clite of Washington, although _ Ware's guests numbered among them so- cial celebrities and sound folk. The Society group at Flags looked for social thrills in addition to. the much referred to peace and quiet of the little town. A few stunts set some of the staid town folks agog, but they were ‘soon soothed by the group fighting Ware. So We find the growth of the town running side by side with hotel extension. Hotels Willing to Co-operate What is the future of the ho- tels? Ask the queqstion ef Atlantic City and other resorts. If Doug- lass could recall hisdeeds, he might do it. He might in the next set of deeds set out restrictions that would have barred anybody from making money but himself. If Ware and Flagg have to put up a flag and sell out, some philan- thropie and enterprising white Wichtman or black Smith would come in and give the good old settlement a real up-to-date hotel. Ware and Flagg are creditable to the town and the race. As the town and the neighboring settlements grow, and sanitary improvements are made, the ho- tels will be forced to improve sani- ation and have greater comforts. "AS they exist today, it is doubtful ‘if the race can boast of better ‘week-end hostelries or | restful ‘lodgings in the mid-week. If, how- ever, persistent persecution drives the hotels to retaliatory measures, the type of guest and the conduct may not be desirable. Each keeper ‘has done everything possible to re- ceive and solicit the support of the residents and welcome ‘suggestions for the welfare of the town. In that no mention of restrictions was mentioned in the deeds of sale of lots, they aay that they are exer. ning property rights guarant by the State of Maryland, and that the courts will protect them in the exercise of such rights. Ware says that ff the commissioners co-oper- ate, he-will meet them more than half way in doing what he can to keep the ‘social standards -of the community. ~° (Continued next week) MRS, J, JACKSON SUCCUMBS AFTER ILLNESS “ES AT RED Mrs. Janie Henderson Jackson, age 51,.one of Washington's oldest school teachers, died at Freedmen’s Hospital, Monday, August 5, at 5:30 p.m., after an illness of three months. “Prior to her illness, Mrs Jackson had seemingly enjoyed fine health for more than thirty years. Mrs. Jackson was born in this city in 1878, the daughter of Mrs. Ida, Henderson, one of Washing- ton’s oldest residents. She was graduated from the M street high school in 1898, after which she took a course in kindergarten teaching from Mrs. Phoebe Hurst, wife of Senator Hurst, a million- aire philanthropist and! one of the founders of the modern kinder- sarten system in the public schools ‘Old residents of Washington re- call the great stir when Mrs. Hurst entertained the young ladies of her class in the drawing room of her mansion, In 1900, Mrs. Jackson was appointed teacher in the kin- dergarten of the Wilson School. She has been teaching in the kin- dergartens ever since, being trans ferred to the Briggs School, at Twenty-first and E streets, recent. iY. She was selected by Dr. Ballou before the days of demonstration schools and teachers, to be includ- ed in the group of white teachers for the younger group of teachers, and held that position up to the time of her death. Mrs. Jackson was well known and loved by many of the younger teachers for her unfailing good humor, her quiet and. cultivated voice, ‘and her sunny smile, She was flso active in Washington civic work, being one of the first organ- izers of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W. C.A.. and an_ardnet supporter of the N.A.A.C.P. She held a promi- nent position in the American Kin. dergarten Association, a national organization. She also acted as a superinten dent of the Union Wesley Sunday School for several years, She is survived by her husband Mr. 'W. Henry Jackson, and brother, Charles, of Phoebus, Va. Howard R. 0, T. C. Enjoys Dance At Camp A gala_time was enjoyed by Howard University students and many Washington citizens, Friday night, August 2, at Fort Hunt, Va. the Howard University R,0.T.C camp for this year. It was the first time the annual affair was held at this camp, and a surprising crowd of — students danced to the crooning of the lat- est popular jazz hits played by a little Virginia orchestra. It was akin to a reunion to see the many students from different universi- ties meet again after last year's school season for the first time. Students from such schools as ‘Howard, Harvard, New York City oe. Syracuse, Northweston, West Virginia College, Wilberforce, aes and Radcliffe, shook hands all around and danced a “melody divine,” at the military promgeas which had to be cut short at 12 pam. by reason of certain camp restrictions. However, all of the dancers have attested that “It was good while it lasted.” | a GUESTS AT MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE Names of guests at Mountain View House, Harpers Ferry, W.

To- day they were making bread. Each girl began to measure flour, salt, milk, and yeast according to diree- tions. Large yellow bowls were soon filled by all the girls except the one at the end of the line. “What is the matter, Isabel 2” asked the tencher of the twelve- year-old child, ¥ “My mother does not make bread this way,” was the answer. Miss Ricketts felt like throwing up her hands. Isabel was going to be stubborn again! It was the same old story. Isabel was very bright, She could do anything well, but about once a week, she refused to work and always ‘because her mother did things another way. ‘This time Miss Ricketts decided to SPLENDID QUALITY !

SAME OLD STORY By Lillian Velie Dunham ef a different method with Isa- bel. “How does your mother make bread?” she asked the little girl. “She doesn’t go-to all this trou- ble. She just takes some flour, some salt and milk and she doesn’t measure a thing as you do,” de- clared Isabel. “Very well. Today you make bread the way your mother makes it,” Miss Rickeits said pleasantly, ‘Go ahead and do just as you wish.” Isabel went happily to work, She mixed and moulded, and stirred, but when the other girls had ae little loaves ready for the oven, Isabel's loaf was only dark soggy dough. “There is something wrong with it,” she told the teacher anxiously. “Did you make it the way your mother does?” “Yes, I did.’ “Then take it home to mothe and she will tell you what to do, was the good advice. Isabel took the bread home. The next day she came back, a subdued look on her honest little face. “Miss Ricketts, my mother said she always measured every thing and followed the recipe exactly, so I guess I will, too. Mother said after she had done it a lot of times she learned it by heart.” Isabel deeply loved her mother: What she needed was the personal touch only her mother could give her. The domestic science teacher was wise enough to discover the way around Isabel. After that in- stead of a hindrance the mother’s influence became an ally in train- ing the child. a ‘TRY IT i Take a lot of good-nature and plenty of fun, And stir them up often together; ‘Then ones in awhile add a sweet, sunny smile— twill make sinshine in drear- iest weather. pee tape aee HE WAS THINKING Motive>: “What, Bobby!
