LACK OF EXTRA WORK BLAMED ON OLD MONEY
Women Who Work. At Bureau Are Eligible for Employment
A report that the Treasury Department had hired 300 white women and refused to hire colored women, recently employed at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving was investigated by The Tribute. Treasury officials stated that only a few persons had been hired to fill vacancies caused by sick leave and vacations. The high officials seen, expressed a willing disposition to hire colored women. A night force has been planned and at first was expected to start on the 15th, but the returned old money had not increased to the extent which was rst expected. However, a night force is contemplated but the date for its starting has not been determined. Persons having worked at the Bureau are eligible for this extra work. The officials denied that no colored were employed because of race prejudice.

The speakers were Henry S. Warner, S. B. Walton, James B. Allen, Herbert E. Jones, and Dr. Leo S. Holton.
In attendance at the exercises were Mrs. Henry Lincoln Johnson and her two sons, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., and Peter Douglas Johnson.
The Elks have pledged themselves to the erection of a monument over his grave within the year.
"Dead" Tags Get Two Men In Trouble
Frank Washington, of 1400 block of N street, northwest, was fined $5.00 in police court, Tuesday, for operating a car on dead tags. The dead tags were only discovered after Washington's car burned nearly up, Sunday night. Washington purchased his car from Charles Lewis for $20, in installments. He went to pay Lewis his last payment, Sunday. On returning Sunday night his car caught fire at Fourteenth and N streets, northwest. Reporting the fire, Policeman Heyne, of No. 2 precinct, found that the tags on the car belonged to Lewis. Washington was arrested, and Lewis hearing of his friend's trouble, went to visit him and was arrested. He posted $5.00 collateral, which was forfeited when Lewis failed to appear in court Tuesday morning.

STABBED BY UNKNOWN
ASSAILANT IN FIGHT
In a fight with an unknown assailant last Saturday noon, Charles Smith, 19, a young salesman, of 716 P street, was stabbed in the right side, in the face, and in the lip.
Smith is alleged to have been on his way back to work after lunch, when an unknown man started to "middle" with him. Smith remonstrated with the man, who retaliated by slapping him.
In the fight that ensued, the man whipped out a knife, and cut Smith about the face and lip, and in the side. He was treated at the Market Pharmacy, and later removed to Freedmen's Hospital.

Two children of the late Joseph S. Graves have turned up and are demanding a share in his estate.
Two children of the late Joseph S. Graves, late proprietor of Graves' Cafe, left his entire estate to his mother, Mrs. Minnie L. Graves, according to his will which is on file for probate.
The estate of John Graves is expected to be a considerable sum. It will consist mainly of his share in the estate of his father, who died April 20, 1928, without having a will.
The heirs of Joseph Graves are his widow, who is also the administratrix of his estate; his late son, John; two grandchildren, Bernice Robinson, aged 16 years, and Sterling C. Robinson, aged 14 years, children of a deceased daughter. Two other children by a former marriage, Annie Baker, and Addie Connor, have turned up and are seeking shares in his estate.
By his will, John bequeathed his share in his father's estate to his mother. Joseph Graves left the furniture and fixtures in his cafe and considerable real estate. His estate is conservatively estimated to be worth not less than $25,000. Debts against the estate are given as approximately $10,000.
PORTER, 84, TAKEN IN RAID FOR LIQUOR
The oldest man to be arrested in Washington on a liquor charge in the memory of the police was taken, Monday night, in a raid on the Hotel Inn, 608 Ninth street, northwest. He was registered at the precinct as William Walker Lomax, 84 years old, of 308 Q street, northwest. He was charged with two cases of sale and one of possession, but was released under $2,500 bond. Mrs. Ida Jenkins, of 635 K street, southwest, was charged with sale and possession, when police found 36 quarts of liquor and 96 quarts of home brew at her home.
Four Persons Wounded In Altercations
Hyder Williams, 423 Twenty-sixth street, northwest, was found about 2 o'clock, Tuesday, lying at Connecticut avenue and Oliver street, northwest, by Policeman Cannon, of the Fourteenth precinct. At the station it was found that Williams was suffering from a stab in the hip. He could not recall how he received the wound.
Mary Jelks and James Williams, of 1228 S street, northwest, engaged in an altercation at this address about 11 p.m., Monday. Mrs. Jelks was cut on the neck and hand. Williams was arrested. She was treated at Freedmen's.
Susanna Chappell, of 434 First street, and Gene Clark, of 117 G street, southwest, had an altercation, Monday, and Mrs. Chappell was cut over the left eye and Clarke was struck on the head with a bottle. Both were treated at Emergency Hospital.
Woman Injured When Car Hits Telephone Pole
Mrs. Maude Byrd, age 30, of 1013 Eleventh street, northwest, was painfully injured at midnight on August 15, when the car which her husband was driving hit a telephone pole on the road near Hyattsville, MD. At Freedmen's Hospital, where she was treated by Dr. George S. Martin, she was found to be suffering from lacerations of the forehead, contusions of the lip, and shock, necessitating the use of three stitches.
Girl Swallows Iodine; Treated for Poisoning
Mabel Brown, age 19, of 1017 New Jersey avenue, was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital from her home after having swallowed a bottle of iodine, which is poison. No one knows of a motive for the act, and Miss Brown has steadfastly refused to disclose one. However, owing to the swift medical treatment rendered by Dr. W. P. Collette, little damage was done, and the girl was allowed to return to her home after promising never to do it again.
THORNTON HUNT DEAD, FUNERAL HELD FRIDAY
Ill Only Short Time. Was Special Agent for The N. C. Mutual
After a brief illness, Thornton McCarthy Hunt died at Freedmen's Hospital, Monday, of gangrene of the lungs. This is a common malady where one has tuberculosis or some other devastating disease. But with Mr. Hunt, the real cause was not determined. The autopsy showed no scars or signs or tuberculosis. However, he had some teeth extracted recently, one of which is alleged to have been crushed, and it is possible that a small sliver was drawn into the lung, causing the infection.
Mr. Hunt was born in Annapolis, Md., February 8, 1886, and was 43 years old. He had not married. He attended school in Washington and graduated from the Frelinghusen Law School. He worked in the post office for a number of years. About ten years ago he joined the agency force of the North Carolina Mutual here and was special ordinary writer at the time of his death. At one time Mr. Hunt was the district manager of the company.
Mr. Hunt has been a life time member of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church at Eleventh and R streets, northwest. He was a trustee and deacon of this church. He leaves five sisters and four brothers. The sisters are: Mrs. Blanche McKinney, Mrs. Lucy Willis, Mrs. Maude Rayland, Mrs. Marceline Sears, and Mrs. Amelia Williams. The brothers are Fred. D. James, Harry and Aaron Hunt. The funeral was Friday afternoon, August 16, at Lincoln Temple. Burial was in Washington. Mr. Hunt was a quiet unassuming man and had many friends in the social, business and church world.
Two New Shops Open On Georgia Avenue
Business is picking up in the 2700 block of Georgia avenue, northwest. A new cigar store and news stand was opened last week at 2723, with Dr. A. C. Burwell, manager, and the Alphoneta Beauty Shoppe opened this week at 2725, with Mrs. Bertha M. King and Mrs. Sophia D. Ricks as operators.
Dr. Burwell formerly was in the drug business at Twelfth and U streets, northwest, Vermont avenue and R streets, northwest, and lately at Sixth and N streets, northwest.
A fish market is to open at 2727 Georgia avenue.
BISHOP WALLS PASSES

Bishop W. J. Walls of the A. M. E. Zion Denomination of Charlotte, N.C., spent Saturday and Sunday in the city, guest of Bishop and Mrs. E. D. W. Jones. Bishop Walls were enroute to the National Church Council convention at Hampton, Va.
Drunk In Church; Gets
$10 or 5 Days
Joshua Douglass got the spirits in church last Sunday night, and though the congregation thought he was in some kind of a trance, the police say he was just plain drunk. Joshua doesn't know how it all happened, but he went to church and woke up in the station house. The judge didn't approve of spirits in churches, and gave Josh a fine of ten bucks or five days in the despiriter.
CHURCH TO CALL NEW PASTOR ON 21ST
Meeting Called for August 21 To Decide Successor For Rev. Willis
A meeting of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church has been called for Wednesday night. August 21, for the purpose of calling a pastor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rev. James E. Willis.
The regular monthly church meeting was held at the church last Friday night when the investigating committee made its report, on the accusations of Mr. Joseph Maxwell that he had given $100 to a deacon to bring a certain preacher to the pulpit. The committee's report was not complete and nothing definite was derived from it.
It is reported that Mr. Henry Johnson became disgusted with the proceedings and walked out before the meeting adjourned.
DR. T.W. TURNER TO STUDY AT LOUVAIN
HAMPTON INST. Va.—Dr. Thomas W. Turner, head of the Department of Biology at Hampton Institute, has been granted sabbatical leave for the year 1929-30, and will spend the time in European study and research.
He plans to spend most of his time in the botanical laboratories of the University of Louvain, Belgium, and the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. Dr. Turner plans, also, to pay some attention to the problem of science teaching in European colleges, and thus hopes to visit as many institutions as possible for this purpose, both in Great Britain and on the continent.
He and Mrs. Turner will sail for Europe on September 12, on the French Line, to be away until the end of next summer.

Arrested Helping Girl Home; Get Ninety Days
Two twentieth century cavaliers got in bad with the police when they attempted to show their fair lady to her domicile last Sunday night. The lady, it may be said, was slightly inebriated, but hardly more than her escorts, but they all managed to hang together until the police stuck them in the cooler. Francis Overs, the fair lady, declares that they were simply going past New Jersey avenue and L street, when the cop got a notion that they were drunk and picked them up. However, William Harris and Andrew Minor, the courteous escorts, say that Francis was drunk and that they were just helping her home. They weren't drunk, they explained, although they had been drinking.
Judge Mattingly gave them another chance, with a suspended sentence over their heads of $100 or ninety days if they came back to the court.
Man Gets Drunk While Wife Buys Groceries
Chris Harris hadn't had a drink since prohibition started, so he told police court Judge Robert Mattingly, last Monday. That is, not until last Saturday. Chris' wife went into a store to buy some groceries for Sunday, and along came some dear friends of his who just guessed how thirsty he was. Of course Chris didn't get drunk, but he was a little tipsy, and the police thought he was drunk. Chris got $25 or 30 days suspended.
Annual Bush Meeting
The annual bush meeting of Bethlehem Baptist Church at Gum Springs, Vg., was held last Sunday in the grove adjoining the church on the Richmond highway south of Alexandria.
The Rev. James H. Marshall, of Washington, preached at both services, Sunday. Rev. W. H. Tripplett is the pastor. This is an old church organization, having been organized in 1865. The present building was erected in 1884. It has had only two pastors since it was organized. Rev. Samuel J. Taylor was the first pastor, and the Rev. Tripplett, who has been there for the past sixteen years.

Liver and Spleen Also On Right Side With Appendix on Left
Another freak of nature was discovered at Freedmens Hospital on August 5, when Mrs. Laurine Ashton, of 218 Eye Street, N.W., died there. All of her vital organs were found to be transposed. Her heart, liver, and spleen were all on the right side, while her appendix was on the left side. She was about thirty years old. The same freak of nature was found in a student of the medical school of Howard University last year.
TWO MEN BURNED AT EMERGENCY
Two men employed in the laundry at Emergency Hospital were seriously burned about the face, Wednesday, when the stopper blew out of a valve of disinfectant. They are Esau Underwood, 1539 T Street, N.W., and John Mitchell, 1415 Fifth Street, N.W. They were treated at the hospital by a staff physician.
Tries to Put George Washington Out of House
A landlady attempted to put George Washington out of the house last Saturday for no reason at all, but found that George had just as much fighting blood in him as his notable namesake. George and his wife pay their rent regularly, and were in no mood to move. When the police stopped the fight between the landlady and her tenants, the house was pretty much broken up.
Washington was fined five dollars and told to get out of that house before the landlady threw him out.
ACH
MEMBERS SAY THEY LOANED PASTOR $437
Claim Mrs. Martha J. Willis
Refuses to Take Steps to
Protect Them
Two women, members of the
Vermont Avenue Baptist Church
have filed a creditors petition for
probate of the estate of the Rev.
James E. Willis, late pastor of
that church.
The women are Mrs. Laura
Wood, 2012 Second street, north-
west, and Msr. Elizabeth Poindexter,
1447 W street, northwest, both
members of Vermont Avenue Baptist
Church.
They claim that they made loans
of small sums of money to the
Rev. Mr. Willis, totaling $437. Mrs.
Wood says she let him have $100
on September 26, 1926; $75 on
October 15, 1927, and $80 on May
6, 1928. Mrs. Poindexter's loan to
him was $182 on May 14, 1928.
Through their attorney, Elwood
G. Hubert, they have made de-
mands for payment of the money
owing them, they say, but his wi-
dow, Mrs. Martha J. Willis, 1318
Riggs street, northwest, has re-
fused to take any steps to protect
them and after a period of seven
months without satisfaction they
filed their petition for probate of
his estate.
They ask for appointment of
themselves as administratices.
The Rev. Willis died on December 26, 1928, without having made a will. His heirs are his widow, his father, Alexander Willis, Nasson Station, Orange County, Va.; and two sisters, Mrs. Ida Bibbs, Nasson Station, Orange County, Va.; and Mrs. Elizabeth Van Duesen, Albany, N.Y.
As far as Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Poindexter could learn, the Rev. Willis left no real estate except his home in Riggs street, on which a deed of trust for $4,500 was placed June 19, 1928. He left no personal property, as far as they know, except some jewelry including a diamond ring, and household furniture. There are no debts, as far as they could find out, except the money owed to them.
Expenses of the funeral and last illness of Rev. Willis, they say, were borne by the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church.

Urban League Urged To Establish Branches to Combat Unemployment
NEW YORK CITY—From a ten weeks' trip to the Pacific Coast, T. Arnold Hill, director of the National Urban League's Department of Industrial Relations, returned last week. Mr. Hill visited the principal coast cities: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles, and conferred with persons from the smaller cities, such as Fresno, Bakerfield, Longview, and Tacoma.
In a report which he has just prepared he makes the statement that "while the Negro population of the cities on the West coast is growing steadily each year, there has been very little advance in occupations. While both old and new citizens are loud in their praise of the advantages offered on the coast they are critical of the limited opportunities in vocations. This criticism has reached the point in the northwest and in the cities in the northern part of California that organizations of the Urban League have been requested to cope with the situation.

PROF. BECKHAM GETS PH.D.FROM N. Y. UNIVERSITY
NEW YORK CITY.—New York University conferred its highest degree, the PhD., on Albert Sidney Beckham, of New York City, at the close of the summer session, yesterday. Dr. Beckham won his degree in psychology. He is a former professor of psychology, and founder of the Psychological Laboratory at Howard University. His dissertation was "A Study of the Intelligence of Colored Adolescents of Different Social Economic Status in Typical Metropolitan Areas."
The study includes 1,100 children between the ages of 12 and 16. These children are mostly from Washington, Baltimore, and New York City. Much of the material for this study was obtained when Dr. Beckham directed the psychological laboratory at Howard University.
Dr. Beckham has successfully held two New York University fellowships. He is the first of the colored investigators to become a clinical psychologist. His study was financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. He holds the bachelor of arts degree from Lincoln University, both the bachelor's and master's degree from the Ohio State University and the Ph.D., from New York University.

instructions on the best methods of accounting, especially for camp and department property.
Commander Andrew J. Clinton, Jr., of Sergeant George Berry Camp No. 10, delivered a real sermon, on the spirit of comradeship that all mankind, veterans especially, should strive to establish and maintain. Department Inspector Angus L. Hays announced that more attention should and will be paid to the proper equipment and esprit de corps in the department in the future.
Department Commander L. A. Gibson delivered a brief message, urging the co-operation of all comrades in improving, especially the membership of the Department. Although the department of The Potomac covers more territory than any other department in the organization, fourteen states and the District of Columbia, he expects to visit every camp that has not been visited by any previous department commander. He will head the delegation to Denver, Colo., and have an important resolution introduced to the convention.
The meeting was adjourned early in order to attend a "Snail Crawl" of Gua Gua Lair No. 2, Military Order of the Serpent at the Pythian Temple, Twelfth and U streets, northwest.

please the whole coast region is discouraging, there being very little outlet for their talents. Los Angeles is growing more rapidly than other cities in the West and Negroes are making progress in the moving picture industry as well as in small businesses of their own. But even here the jobs commonly done by Negroes in the East are offered Orientals and Mexicans.
Branches of the Urban League were started in Seattle and Oakland during Mr. Hill's visit to them and committees are now working to perfect them with a view to employing paid workers in the fall.

COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE SLAVERY
Investigation of alleged conditions of slavery in Liberia is to be made by an international commission, the State Department announced last Saturday. The commission will be appointed by the Liberian Government. It will consist of one Liberian, one American, and one other member to be selected by the League of Nations. When an official request is received from the Liberian Government regarding this appointment, the American Government will be glad to co-operate, it was stated orally at the State Department. In the announcement made by the State Department the word "slavery" was not used, the term applied being "forced labor conditions."
It is understood that recently the State Department sent a strong note to the Liberian Government on the subject and that this led to the decision for an investigation. The text of the note was not disclosed. Reports of slavery in Liberia have been widespread for several years. Private investigators and native political opponents of the government at Monrovia have made sweeping charges of deplorable labor conditions through publications in this country and in Europe. The subject has been brought up several times at Geneva, and the aid of the League of Nations has been sought. The United States Government is thought to have intervened with what is understood to have been practically a demand for a cleanup and to have brought the situation to a head after Thomas J. R.Faulkner, an American-born naturalized citizen of Liberia.
CATHOLIC NEWS

Schneeweiss, Pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, that on Sunday, August 18th at 5 p.m. there will take place on the Campus of the Church, 15th and Morris Road, southeast, the Mystery Play of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven.

18 of 35 R.O.T.C. Boys Qualify as Marksmen
By Wm. G. Black
Eighteen men out of the 35 R. O.
T. C. students encamped at Fort
Hunt, Va., qualified as marksmens,
sharpshooters, or experts during
the recent record shooting of the
pistol and the service rifle. This
percentage of over one-half is said
to be the largest ever produced by
a group of men anywhere in the
country who had never fired these
weapons before. It was necessary
for the men who qualified as
marksmens to maintain an average
of 37 per cent out of a possible
50 per cent.
H.U. Has Two Highest Rankers
Donald F. Cardozo, of Howard
University, made the rating of ex-
pert, which is the highest rating
given. He is said to be the only
man that has made this rating
with the pistol, in any R.O.T.C.
organization in the country, shoot-
ing for the first time. Martain V.
Cotton was the next highest ranker,
qualifying as sharpshooter with
the service rifle.
Two out of the six Wilberforce
men qualified with the rifle, while
none qualified with the pistol.
All of the men strove hard to
qualify and many rated just under
the passing percentage of 185.
All of the instructors who entered
and their assistants qualified. They
were Major Byrne, rifle Captain
Rathbone, rifle; Sergeant Smith,
rifle expert; and Sergeant 'Brice,
pistol.
The R.O.T.C. men who qualified are: Donald F. Cardozo, expert with pistol and marksman with rifle; Martain V. Cotton, sharpshooter with rifle; Parlett L. Moore, marksman with pistol and rifle; Peter S. Ridley, marksman with pistol and rifle. The other marksmen are: Phillip T. Atkins, pistol; William G. Black, rifle; John F. Harris, rifle; Daniel C. Mack, pistol; Herbert Orr, pistol; James Richardson, pistol; Earle Shamwell, pistol; Edgar F. Woodson, pistol; Stanton L. Wormley, rifle. Of Wilberforce: Theodore H. Randall, and Frank F. Moxley, both rifle.
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Clark left the city last week on an extended motor trip.
will give an explanation of the tableaux and while each is being shown, special music will be rendered by the church choir and visiting singers. There will be a solemn procession from the church to the place of the drama. In this procession will be found groups representing Apostles, Virgins, Angels, Holy Women, Martyrs and Pilgrims. Invitations have been extended all local colored organizations, Catholic and non-Catholic, to attend. Many civic and fraternal organizations will assemble in regalia and it is expected that more than three thousand will be on hand for this elaborate celebration.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY AUGUST 16.1929
Howard U. R.O.T.C. Closes With Gala Parade and Exhibition
By William G. Black
Beginning at 1:30 p.m., Friday,
August 9, the R.O.T.C. Unit at
Fort Hunt, Va., composed of How-
ard University, Wilberforce Uni-
versity, and C. C. N. Y. boys, put
on their closing exhibition drill
of the season. The exercises opened
with an exhibition of the physical
exercises taken by the cadets after
breakfast each morning. This was
followed by several games,
which were crammed with fun for
the observers. Following this,
shelter-tents were pitched by the
unit and full field equipment laid
out for inspection.
After the guests had inspected
the tents a shelter-tent pitching
contest was staged between teams
of two each from Wilberforce and
Howard. The Wilberforce team
won by 1 minute; the total time
required being six minutes.
Many Field Pieces Fired
The guests were next treated to an exhibition of the deadly accuracy of the Browning machine gun, which was fired slowly and explained carefully by the students, the accuracy of the gun being carefully marked by the trail of tracer ammunition.
Then came an exhibition of the Browning automatic rifle, which was followed closely by the firing of the pistol, and the famous 37mm., which the French found so valuable in the World War. Medals were presented to the 18 marksmen, experts and sharpshooters of the organization.
Refreshments were served immediately after the exhibition. The guests inspected the camp. Prominent among the guests were: Colonel Howard, commander of the Howard University R.O.T.C. Unit; Dr. Davis, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Howard University; and Mr. Wilkerson, registrar at Howard. It is estimated that over 200 people saw the exhibition.
This exhibition marked the closing of the R.O.T.C. Camp at Fort Hunt, Va. The 35 men who encamped there report that they were royally treated by the regular garrison, which is all white. These men were always anxious to entertain and showed clean sportsmanship in all of the baseball games played between them and the R.O.T.C. team. The two units dined together after their final game, both mess halls putting in to furnish the food.
ANNIVERSARY SERVICES TO CLOSE
Mt. Olive Baptist, Sixth street between L and M streets, northeast will close special anniversary services with sermon by Rev. J. I. Loving at 11 a.m. Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, pastor of Mt. Moriah, will preach the anniversary sermon at 3:30 p.m. and Rev. J. R. Scott will preach at 8 p.m.

HAMPTON INSTI.-The girls in their green uniforms, the boys in khaki, assembled for the opening exercises of the seventh annual short course of The 4-H Club to be held at Hampton, on the morning of August 7. The 210 present, coming from twenty-five counties of Virginia, and five counties of Maryland, arrived with 16 club leaders and 27 of the county agents. A three-day program planned by Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, Mr. John L. Charity and other officials of the Agricultural/ Extension Service, was full of variety and interest, every team contributing in some way to he proceedings. Instruction was given in seed testing, hen setting, the operation of milking machines, yard beautification, and on the subject of forest fires by Mr. G. W. Deans, district forester, demonstration and "movies" being used by the speakers.
The party left the campus this Saturday, some by rail and some by motor bus. The interchange of ideas, and of club experiences, the pleasant round of activities in new surroundings, the knowledge gained were beyond the expectations of most of those who attended the short course.

MAN AND WIFE FIGHT AT NIGHT; LAND IN POLICE STATION
As a result of a domestic misunderstanding and fight at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, August 14, two people, after a wild chase through the streets, landed in Freedmen's Hospital and later in the police station. They were charged with disturbing the peace, using dangerous weapons, and several other minor charges.
According to a story told to the Tribune reporter, Rufus Chavis, 33, a cook, living at 1714 Swann street, northwest, was visited by his estranged wife, at the above address.
A few minutes later the house was being shaken with blows, screams, and cries of murder and help coming from a man. Chavis was seen to burst out of the house, bleeding profusely, and to start running towards Fourteenth street.
The wife was in hot pursuit with a carving knife in her hand. Chavis was caught by a policeman and taken to the box at Fourteenth and U streets. Soon the woman hove into sight, still wielding the carving knife and curding wildly.
They were both carried to Freedmen's Hospital and treated by Dr George S. Martin for multiple cuts and bruises about the scalp, face, lips, head and body, and afterward taken into custody of the police.
Mr. Frank Owens is quite on the way to recovery and is now at his home, 1724 Second street, northwest.

Has Fight With Coat;
Cops Say He’s. Drunk
Frank Sharp had a hard time
putting on his coat, on Eighth
street, northeast, last Sunday, and
the police really thought he was
drunk. Frank is a little, old wrin-
kled man who hustles coal for a
living. The coat, it seems, turned
to some kind of dragon that tried
to chew Frank up, but Frank threw
it to the ground, falling on top of
it with a death grip around its
hairy neck.
Frank was called into court, and
the judge asked him if he had been
drinking. Frank smiled a little re-
minescently, and admitted that he
had met a few of the boys, and,
well, he got caught and” they
didn't. He didn’t know what he
had been drinking, but it tasted
mighty like extract of canned heat.
Frank got a suspended sentence
of $25 or 30 days.
Sages
Prof. W. G. Pearson, of Durham,
N.C., accompanied by Miss Portia
Whitted, are in the city for a few

‘The matter was brought to the

cause of the publication in Ameri-

mas J. Faulkner, an American-
born naturalized Liberian, who was
an unsuccessful candidate for the

dent Charles D. B. King.
Faulkner is at present in the
United States, He has filed with
Secretary of Stati Henry L. Stin-
son a memorandum asking the
United States to intervene in the
settlement of his claim of election
to the Liberian presidency.
Faulkner charges that King is
illegally holding office and that he
himself was elected president of
the Liberian republic. He sought
to have the courts of Liberia to
pass on the question, but the Su-

that it was a political question and
it has no jurisdiction,

G.P.O. Wrests Departmental League Title From Printers; Black Sox Win Two
LOOKING 'EM OVER WITH AWSON SPORTS EDITOR
The Tribune Junior Series is working out fine so far, and competition is becoming keener every day. Another meeting of the managers will be called for Wednesday, August 21, at 8 o'clock. All games must be played before this time. The two teams standing highest on that date will meet each other in a deciding series to determine the District junior champion team.
The Manchesterers have withdrawn because of the fact that they have several boys on their team who work until 6 o'clock in the evening, so that they cannot play week-day games. This leaves the Spartans, the Willow Trees, and the Anacostians to fight it out among themselves.
The Manchesterers, however, wish to play their scheduled game with the Spartans on Sunday. This game will not count in the series, however, either for or against the Spartans.
The Ancestors have completed their schedule. On Saturday, August 17, they will meet the Spartans on the Monument grounds. The game will be called at 1:30. On Tuesday, August 20, they will play the Black Barons at the Monument lot. The game will start at 3 o'clock. The only other game remaining scheduled is the Black Barons vs. Willow Trees, Sunday, August 18, at 2 o'clock, Four-and-a-half and Main avenue.
The Black Baron-Spartan game played last Tuesday was won by the Black Barons with a score of 7 to 6. Friday went to the mound for the Barons, while Tim pitched for the Spartans.
The Garnet Patterson playground is holding a series of tennis tournaments in which there is much keen competition. The singles have already been played off. Marshal Nick winning first place, Free getting second, and Lloyd Washington coming in third. Nick will receive a gold tennis racquet charm for his watch chain as first prize. Free will give a sil-
"Pop" Lloyd, the 51-year-old youngster, who guides the destinies of the Lincoln Giants, Keenan's entry, in the National Negro League, led his club into Baltimore, Sunday, August 11, to do battle with the Baltimore club in two thrilling encounters. Lloyd's club, with Connie Rector toeing the slab, won the first game after nine fierce innings of airtight baseball. The final score was three to two.
"Lefty" Flournoy, star left hander of the Baltimore hurling staff, was victorious in the nightcap, 2-1.
"Pop" has been in baseball since 1905, at which time he was a catcher on a team in Palatha, Fla. He has played every position on the baseball diamond. His greatest work has been at shortstop, at which position he has been compared with the great Dutchman, Hans Wagner.
His play has been contemporaneous with such men as Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, and Walter Johnson. He has a lifetime batting average of .330, and a lifetime fielding average of .660. He is a model athlete, never smoking or drinking.
He is now leading one of the best clubs of his managerial career, and has in Connie Rector an undefeatable pitcher. He also has in the person of Charlie Smith, his great right fielder, the league's leading batter, base stealer, and home-run hitter.
What is believed to be a league record for double plays in a nine-inning game was made by the Lincoln Giants and the Cuban Stars when they made nine double killings in the regulation game. Six were made by the Giants and three by the Stars. The game was played on August 4.
"Rap" Dixon, sterling outfielder of the Baltimore Black Sox, made what is believed to be an all-time record recently when he hit safely for fourteen consecutive times. The record was formerly held by John Henry Lloyd, with eleven consecutive hits in as many times at bat.
Quellich. of the International League, hit safely thirteen consecutive times at bat. Tris Speaker's record is eleven consecutive times.
Fans in the American Negro League are discussing the relative merits of the throwing arms of "Pap" Dixon and Charlie Smith.

The doubles are now being played, and Washington and Collins were leading in an early stage of the race.
Mary Sims and Ralph Tibbs have been qualified as senior lifeguards at the Francis pool. Seventeen have been thus qualified during the year. Carol Hughes and William Harris have become junior lifeguards at the same pool.
The boys of Garnet-Patterson are planning to hold their own track meet this Friday. The meet will serve as a preliminary to pick entries for the big track contest to be held at the Cardozo playground on the twenty-third of the month.
The girls are also holding a track meet at Garnet for the same purpose.
Their big contest comes on the 29th of the month.
Another log has been added to the equipment of the Francis pool. The one log that was in the pool was so popular that everyone wanted to use it at once. It was thought best to add a new one.
One thousand two hundred and eighty persons took a dip in the pool during the last week. The total for the season is 21,014. Even at this, the pool is not nearly as crowded as last year.
The new hours now in effect allow everyone a chance to swim. The pool is open from seven in the morning to seven in the evening. Competent life guards will teach you how to swim if you don't know already.
The Garnet-Patterson hiking club is planning a trip to Colton for the first of September. They will remain in Colton for two weeks and while there they will erect a club house for future use. The club is under the direction of Mr Leo Wilson, the Garnet-Patterson physical director.
Departmental OPE W.C. Tranyham
When the dust of battle had cleared away, the mighty G. P. O. monarch of the League for many years, had fallen, and the championship crown adorned the head of Agriculture. A new champion now reigns in the Departmental League.
Freddy Slade and "Speed" Grant share hero honors, as Grant pitched his club to both wins for the coveted title, while the former's homers, with Carter on, proved the margin of victory in both games.
Ross was the one bright spot in the loser's defeat, as the brilliant hot corner guardian was all over the field. His stop of Grant's hit that cut off two runs was one of the most specacular bits of fielding seen in many moons.
Dandridge, unlike many players, showed true team spirit when removed from the third game. He remained to urge his mates on.
"Toots" Brown led all at bat with a mark of .500 for the four games, with Carter next in line with .461. Dandridge led the base stealers with four stolen bases.

Billy Edwards to Defend Championship Again Monday
BILLY EDWARDS JOHNNY BYNUM TO FIGHT
BILLY EDWARDS JOHNNY BYNUM TO FIGHT
Once again the mighty Billy Edwards is booked to fight at Williams Park, this time with Johnny Bynum, who is conceded to be a much stronger fighter than any of those that Billy has met this season. Edwards' championship is again at stake in this fight, and Bynum has been whetting himself into shape for the last ten weeks for the encounter. The fight will take place Monday night, August 19, at 8:30 at Williams' Park, Md. Edwards, as usual, is confident of his ability to whip Bynum as he did Kid Dixon and Battling Siki, but those who know say that Bynum is able to put up a great battle, and, if Billy doesn't watch his step mighty carefully, Bynum may take the middleship crown along with him.
Marty Gallagher and Joe Proctor, two old-time boxing enthusiasts, will act as judges, and "Kid Sullivan" will referee
A big list of preliminaries has also been arranged, the first being between Battling Gamble and Tiger Glasco, a four-round lightweight bout, and the second an eight-round heavyweight affair between Raymond Smart and Gruboskey Stutson.
Young Joe Walcott will appear in person at the matches, and Young Firpo, the Filipine wonder, will skip rope before the preliminaries.
A large number of improvements have been made to the park and now everyone can be assured of a seat.
SPARTANS DEFEAT WILLOW TREES IN THRILLING ENCOUNTER
The Spartan A.C. won a hurling duel from the unbeatable Willow Tree nine last Wednesday, to the tune of 6-3. "Salty" Johnson and Jackson pitched respectively for the winners and losers.
"Pyne" Armstrong led the batters with three singles out of four times at bat. Butler and Jackson, of the losers, got wo his apiece. On of he features of the game was the scoring from second from an infield uot by White of the Spartan team.
There was some argument about this game, as the Willow Trees claim that the Spartans used ineligible men. The Spartans also claim that most of the men on the Willow Tree team were above the age limit, which is eighteen years. It has not been decided yet whether the game will count in the series.

Entries are still coming in for this meet and for the other two pool events to be held next Saturday, and Saturday, the 31st.

FIGHTS SCHEDULED FOR ANAPOLIS
Many Washington and Baltimore fight fans are planning to go to Anapolis to witness the boxing exhibition to be held there on August 31, at the auditorium. Several of Washington's favorite boxers will appear there, among them being Young Harry Wills, Billy Carter, and Johnny Crutchfield. A 'bus will leave the corner of Twelfth and R streets at 4:30 and 6:30 on the evening of the fights, and will return directly after they are completed. The card is as follows: Main bout: Billy Carter vs. Morris Taege, eight rounds.
Preliminaries: Young Harry
Wills vs. Isaac Brashears, six
rounds; Johnny Crutchfield vs.
Jimmie Dennis, six rounds.
The Detroit Stars have fallen
down in the second half of the
race, no doubt due to inexperienced
catching.

Gcod Pitching and Fielding Hold Anacostians To Score of 7-4
Backed by some strong pitching by Harry Jackson, and aided by a lot of good fielding when needed, the Willow Tree Juniors took the first game of the Tribute League series from the strong Anacostians last Sunday at the Four-and-a-half and Maine Avenue diamond, with a score of 7-4.
Eddie Berry, the Anacostian's ace pitcher, went to the mound for his team, and though he succeeded in fanning ten of the Willow Trees, was defeated because of poor fielding support. Jackson, although allowing twelve hits, held the junior team to four runs, and also struck out ten men.
Gros, the Anacostians' catcher, accounted for several of the Anacostians' runs with a homer. Harris, of the Willow Trees, got a triple, and Dudley, Coldon, and Jackson came through with doubles.
A feature for the game was the double play executed by Butter and Jackson. Butter, the Willow Trees' first sacker, left his bag to take an infall fly. Jackson covered the bag and took the throw, forcing the Anacostian runner out.
CLARK PLAYS ALABAMA ON NOVEMBER 11
COLUMBUS, Ga.—The thriving little city of Columbus will become the scene of a Southeastern Conference inter-state gridiron classic on Armistice Day, Monday, November 11, when the Alabama State Teachers College Hornets of Montgomery and the Clark University Panthers of Atlanta stage their 1929 tilt at the attractive municipal stadium here.
The Clark-Alabama State game will again be an interesting and closely-contested affair. Two years ago, Clark and Alabama State played to a 6-12 tie at Montgomery during the same season that Clark was just nosed out by Tuskegee and that Alabama State rose to the heights by holding Coach Abbott's machine to a 6-6 decision. In 1928, Clark became the first conference team to beat Tuskegee by nosing them out 12-9.
Fort Dearborne and Chicago Minstrels to Give Show at Howard
MINSTREL SHOW TO BE GIVEN BY LODGES
Harry Fiddler and Charlie Anderson Star In Minstrel Show
TO HAVE STREET PARADE
Washington very seldom has a chance to see a real, old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness minstrel show, with its blaring brass band and balihoo that mean so much to the small tower. But when it does get a chance, it takes advantage of it.
For almost a year we have been sadly lacking in minstrel shows. We have been figuratively starved for one. And so, when an announcement comes in that there will be one, we reach out like a hungry child and grasp the opportunity to bathe our sordid souls in the refreshing glamour of a minstrel show.
All of which leads up to the fact

The Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, of the I.B.P.O. Elks, will present the Chicago minstrels at the Howard Theatre on Thursday, August 22, with two performances, matinee and night, and with one of the greatest aggregations of minstrel stars ever assembled together. The show is making a tour of the country before going to the Elks' convention, and is headed for New York after its one night stand in this city.

Heading the aggregation are such well known celebrities as Harry Fiddler, the world's funniest man; Charlie Anderson, Happy Jesse White, Iva Scott, and Edgar Walker, comedians; Billy Butler, interlocutor; Texas Berry, the race's foremost female impersonator (it's a scream); and the famous Dearborn Quartette.

Negro Writes Best Selling Love Songs and Ballads
Andy Razaf, a young Negro composer, is rapidly rising to fame through his songs which have become best sellers throughout the country. Chief among these is "Sposin", which has spread throughout the country, striking a responsive chord in the public. It has become one of Rudy Valloe's favorite numbers, and shows no sign of any abatement in popularity.
Newer song hits by Razaf include "The World's Greatest Sweetheart Is You," a pretty lighter ballad, just beginning to show results of an extensive campaign recently inaugurated by the publishers. The third of Andy Razaf's star songs is entitled "Wontcha," a novelty fox trot with a different swing. The tune is described as having one of the most attractive melody and lyric combinations of any of its type ever offered the trade.
Andy also wrote all lyrics for Connie's "Hot Chocolates," the hit being "Ain't Misbehavin'," Connie's Inn and Small's Paradise floor shows, and is now busy on a new Broadway production.

Colored Singers Added To Ziegfeld's "Show Girl"
Florenz Zeigfeld, who presented his latest masterpiece to Broadway a few weeks ago, found it necessary to strengthen his production and has added a choir of colored jubilee singers to his already large cast. Most of the singers were with Vincent Youman's "Great Day," and they are using songs added to the show by Youmans. Duke Ellington, the jazz maestro from Cotton Club, and his popular band are still one of the main features of "Show Girl."

Starts to Philadelphia; Goes to Jail Instead
Frenchie Thomas was going to Philadelphia, Sunday morning, and planned to get started at 4 o'clock. Some of the boys in his car started arguing, and when a cop came up, Frenchie started running. The policeman chased Frenchie up an alley and lost track of him. About fifteen minutes later he found Frenchie at Twelfth and U streets, using Sunday school words and expressions.
Sunday school wasn't due to open until 10:30, and the bluecoat disapproved of Frenchie's choice of language. Frenchie didn't get to Philadelphia that Sunday, but got a fine of $25 or 30 days instead.

For the colored child in high school in Prince Georges County, Maryland, the county will spend $55.64, and for the white child in high school, $51.01.
An elementary student of color must not cost the county over 50 per cent of what the white elementary child lost. How then can the separate, segregated schools compare with the white schools when one is run with twice as much money as the other? If education is for citizenship then Maryland is only trying to make half citizens of its Negro children, by spending just half the amount for their education as for the white child. It is even worse than this farther south.
It is impossible and absurd to think of comparing a segregated school run on just half the money a white school cost, with that school. The children do not have the trained teacher, nor does the school have the equipment for teaching when run on fifty per cent of the cost of another school with the same number of students and teachers.
No segregated school compares favorably with a white school for the segregated school does not get the best equipment, best teachers, best buildings and best supervision. A segregated public school is an inferior school regardless of where it is found.
The new Negro town of Fairmount Heights is in Prince Georges County. It is in this newly organized town that most of the colored children of the county live. Whether the commissioners will form an independent school district we have not learned.

Nothing less is accepted. However, when the county and state get ready to spend this oneey, then it is that the Negro's tax money shrinks 50 per cent.

It Was This Way, Y'Honor-- A Day in Police Court With ED LAWSON
A day in the police court is like a slice out of life. It holds all of the humor, all of the pathos, all of the sorrow, all of the joy, that could possibly be crammed into a single day. There are happenings there that seem utterly sad to some, yet are laughing matters to the rows of amused spectators.
Take the cas of Willie Gomillion, for instance. Willie is usually a pretty good fellow, only he will get drunk once in a while. Willie came into court plainly showing marks of a tussle of some kind. His undershirt (he didn't have a shirt on) was torn and bloody. Little red lines showed where blood had trickled down his face. A cross of adhesive plaster showed that his eye would be on the bum for some time to come. His hand was in a bandage, which had been stained a deep crimson by blood. Willie was a sight.
"What hit you?" asked the judge.
"Well, it was this way, Y'honor. I wanted to go up-town last Sunday night, and I was goin', too, but my wife, she chunk me over the head and called her mother, and they both got me down on the flo' and beat me up."
"Your mother-in-law here?" "Yeah, there she is, and my wife, too."
The two came over to testify. Mother-in-law was a big, heavy woman, and wife was not quite so heavy and powerful.
"You see, Yhonor, it was this way. Willie came over to my house over 'cross the alley, and his wife come to get him. Willie was drunk awful bad, and so we tried to take him home. He started fighting, and after while we was all tussling. He had something in his hand looked like a gun—I don't know what it was—mighta been just his finger, but I wasn't takin' no chances. I chunk down on his head and put him to sleep."
The wife was next. She said that Willie was not drunk at all, but that they were just trying to put him in the house so he'd stay there. He had six children and she couldn't get along with Willie in jail.
The judge gave Willie $100 or ninety days suspended, and told him to see a doctor right way, and to leave "corn" alone.
Just as sad was the case of George Jones, who was just walking along the street peaceful like, when a couple of men came up to him and asked him whether he wanted a drink. George didn't want to refuse, so he bought just a little nip.
"How much did you buy?" asked the judge.
"I just got fifty cents worth; that's all."
"How much did you get for fifty cents?"
"A pop bottle full."
"Well, those men cheated you. That bottle is going to cost you just ten dollars and fifty cents. Think it's worth it?"
"No, sir," and George grinned sheepishly.
Clarence Davis, James Young, and Lester Connelly came to Washington in search of jobs. Police found them camped at Camp Meigs, and one of them had a big

44 revolver, and two shells. They lost the gun, but got steady work for ninety days at the workhouse. After that they're all heading back for North Carolina, where they can loaf all they want to.
Henry Jones was another who didn't have anywhere to sleep, but Henry picked out more comfortable quarters than a field. Henry escaped his person on the comfortable seats of a street car parked for the night at the Seventh street car barn. Police happened to find him there, and, to Henry's surprise, found that he had been drinking. Henry got a month of loafing in the District Jail.
Arthur Hall came to Washington to see his sick mother. While visiting some of his friends, he took a little nip, just to be sociable. Arthur was the only one that had to go home, though, and the course he steered was not a bee line by any means.
"I thought I could make it home," said Arthur in court, "but the police didn't think so." Arthur got I thought a little wouldn't—" go home to his mother and stay there.
Chattanooga Provides Equal Facilities for Colored Children
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—The opening here a few days ago of the new $250,000 hospital for crippled children is regarded as a distinct interracial achievement in that the institution provides exactly the same facilities for colored children as for white. Of the hundred beds in the hospital twelve have been definitely set aside for the use of colored children, with the same equipment and conditions of admission as in the case of the others. They will be in the care of a colored nurse.
The hospital was built from the proceeds of bond issues voted by the city and the county, largely through the efforts of former Mayor T. C. Thompson, chairman of the interracial committee. The institution provides both pay and free wards.
Convict Colored Doctor and Agent for Defrauding Company
MERIDIAN, Miss. (Special to the Associated Negro Press)—Presecuting what is declared to have been "a wide spread practice among physicians and agents serving colored insurance companies, to cheat the institutions by issuing fraudulent sick and death claims," the Universal Life Insurance Company of Memphis saw their campaign result last week in the conviction of Dr. R. F. Spears, a physician; Henry Strayhorn, an undertaker; Mrs. E. L. Roberts, an insurance agent, and Mrs. Mary A. Overstreet, all colored, on charges of conspiracy to defraud. The quartet, confronted in court with what seemed to be indisputable evidence of their guilt, entered pleas of guilty. Sentence was deferred for two weeks.

Here we find the only town and people who are opposed to publicity, if we would believe the few individuals who come into town to see the light, we fear the light? What is rank besides weeds in Eden? Is there aught rotten in Denmark? How does light interfere with the natural light in a situation here and that described by St. Peter to the visitor in heaven who viewed a darkullen sleeping mass segregated on the street there was little light? We cannot believe it.

THE BEACH
What makes Highland Beach so attractive? Is the keynote rest or recreation? Why is there no pier on the beautiful beach?
Highland Beach was bought as an investment. For many years only a few people lived or visited there. The great excursion places to be reached by boat or steam train were nearer Washington. Automobiles and good roads made Highland Beach accessible. The older residents naturally want rest. The newer and younger ones want recreation. Older people find fun in bridge, in meals, in gossip, in politics, and in sleep. Younger generations and more active residents want fishing, boating, swimming, dancing, tennis and games. Some of the residents have arranged for play of young and old. Prior to political rifts, there was much community oneness of spirit; there was little dissension and much fun despite the occasional outbursts of youthful pranks. There were no self-imposed taxes. With the growing town problems and local politics, much of the former spirit has died away. The town no longer holds one big family. Different groups suit themselves and their friends in the matter of rest and recreation. Each group has its own circle of visiting friends, some of whom are acceptable and others personae non grata to others. As the present lot owners build this will further dissocial solidarity. It is a natural development.
Community Pier Needed
The greatest recreational need in the minds of most of the people is, and has been for several years, a community pier or pavilion on the beach. Nearly every large beach has one or more such places. Why is there none here? The best answer I have been able to find reaches close to the heart of the cause of most of the difficulties in the little town. After much search and questioning, I have secured the following facts.
Several years ago, everybody wanted a pavilion. A committee from the Citizens' Association representing Highland and Venice Beaches was appointed to raise funds and erect a pavilion on the beach. It was presumed there would be no objection from Mr. Haley Douglass, who at that time was thought to own the beach. The association was astounded, I am told, to learn Mr. Douglass offered a site back in the woods of the town. Mr. Taylor, of Venice Beach, was approached and promised a place on the beach where Highland Beach and Venice Beach join and the site of the present day fence controversy. The committee, according to Taylor, did not accept his offer but continued to dicker with Douglass.
Later some one is alleged to have gotten from Douglass permission to erect a pier with a pavilion at its end, this to keep it off the beach. Later on, subtle interests seem to have echeered the committee away from the beach. into favoring another grant at the end of a street in the midst of the stargant marshy body of water. There the matter stands.
$500 Has been Raised
About $500.00 has been raised by the efforts of citizens of both beaches. This money is not banked in the name of the Citizens' Association of the two beaches by the treasurer, but is in the possession of an unbounded individual. Many of the citizens do not know how much interest has been earned by the money, nor how long it will lie before a pavilion is built. Enough money is in hand to start the work of building. Why cannot the pavilion be started?

citizens here have asserted that they delight in being informed. We find this year that the Mayor and Town Clerk have contributed access to the local papers and to the news media. When it favors the in-group it seems all right, but the censor is demanded when the truth as seen by others gets its day. When it is not being watched, People are anxious to know how Negroes of superior intellect, and descended from those stalwart fighters for equality, are able to manage a town, and to be a part of the visitors of the same Race.
have a pavilion where for at least six days in the week, they could tie boats, fish, or sit away from mosquitoes and enjoy the scenery and breezes of the Bay? It is pitiful to see older mothers and fathers trodding heavily in the deep hot sand to sit with aching bones in blistering heat. Why must the residents who live far from the beach carry heavy beach umbrellas or cook their paid-for complexions when they visit the beach? Would not a neat boardwalk leading from each street entrance to the beach, ending in a cool open air pier or pavilion be a heavenly joy to those who seek rest? Would not some of the boat owners or night fishermen want a substantial pier? A few wealthy citizens at the town could build such a pier. With the money in hand what stops the people from having this improvement?
A number of reasons have been given. All of which except the real reason seem selfish or foolish. Here are some. A pier cannot stand the winters here. It would further incline undesirables to our peaceful midst. Then, legitimate residents would seldom be able to use it. A pavilion would shut off some view from the beach front residents. It would be a nuisance to control. It would make for immorality. Lastly, but in no sense leasst, Mr. Douglass claims the beach and wants no community on it. It would indicate to probable purchasers or lessees that the community controlled or owned the beach. A free pavilion might grow to publicly owned bath houses and might interfere with the value of the beach for privately owned concessions.
Some have answered these reasons. Piers at less sheltered beaches nearby have weathered storms when rightly constructed. There is never a crowd at the beach except on a few Sundays for a few hours in the year. Residents are here during the other six days and would like to have their friends, who may not be others' friends, to enjoy the pier. A sign or a resident ticket could limit use of the pier. But few people go where they do not belong. Surely no owner on the sparsely settled beach front begrudges a pavilion for their less fortunate neighbors further back, who come forward for a little of the bay's cooler breezes. From what I have learned of the two or three families that are so fortunately situated, I am sure this cannot be so. One front porch post shuts off more view than a pavilion 300 feet away could possibly do. I have heard that although there are no trees on the beach, it is covered with bushes, and surely a pavilion or pier could be no less conducive to immorality. Again, at the risk of censure for repetition, is the community so weak in brains that it cannot avail itself of the broad police powers granted all incorporated towns by the state and protect its property and control behavior?
It may be that the managers of the present generation will have to pass away before there will be enough progressive citizens who can without undue friction and politics secure a site and erect a pleasure house of the type mentioned. It may be that the inevitable court suits must be had to establish a procedure by which a site may be secured. It is barely possible that the citizens might get together and bargain to pay for what nominal rights to the beach property still rest with someone. I see before me one suggestion that the town exercise the right of eminent domain and secure legal title to the beach by condemnation proceedings. One plan submitted was that the town should lay claim to the street width to the water and erect its buildings. As far as agents have been able to find no one is paying

The tennis courts are now open, and are being used daily. The public is urged to take advantage of the courts. Plans are being made for a tennis tournament to be held in the near future. Plans are being formulated for a baby doll contest to be held in the near future. Information may be obtained from Miss Ellen Carter, at the playgrounds. All parents are asked to co-operate.

The money collected by the county and turned over to the town's officers has been spent to maintain beach and streets. Here_seems a practical problem in government. Can the community that bought with the understanding implied that the beach was for its use, be limited in that use? If so, to what extent? If money is the object, why do not the well-to-do citizens or the town officials take steps to prevent the beach from being put into the hands of some commercially minded operator.
How long will it be for the people to use their intellects and not their emotions over real issues and not camoufaged chimeras? The hotel, the Venice Beach social warfare, and the "open town" talk are but so much comedy. The real problems which the people will some day come to realize lie deeper. The residents who have invested far more than the original settlers are thinking of these things.

IN MEMORIAM
Sacred to the memory of our loved one, Luther Helem, who is gone, but not forgotten.
Darling, we are thinking of you today,
Thinking of the past.
Picturing you in memory
Just as we saw you last.
For you little thought when leaving
That you would never return,
And that you soon in death would sleep
And leave us here alone.
How we miss your footsteps
Of the one we love so dear,
Often listen for your coming.

ERE SUMMER ENDS I FEEL
THE SPELL OF FALL
By Milton Brighte
Ere summer ends I feel the spell of Fall;
Tho' the golden sun strikes the high green tree.
And a heated wind brings the sweet birds' call;
Tho' the flowers speckle the distant lea
The desolate Fall creeps along with me.
Tho' the scented breath of all leafy things
Fills the languid breeze flowing down the way,
And the love-heart leaps with the morn and sings,
And the brown child's laughter sweetens the day,
I feel depressed, oh! thought of Fall decay.
LOCATION FOR ISRAEL UNDECIDED
Bishops Hamlett and Williams, of the C.M.E. Church, were in Washington, Sunday and Monday, on business for the denomination. The Israel congregation at First and B streets, southwest, has sold its property there to the Government, and they are trying to find a suitable location for a new church. But no decision was reached by the visit of the bishops. Rev. G. T. Long, presiding elder of, the Washington district, said that there were two or three locations being considered in the northwest section, but no decision had been reached on either of them.

A RAINY DAY IN THE ATTIC
By Lillian M. Dismond
One cold rainy day, little Mary sat in the corner of a big armchair reading a book. She finally grew tired and ran to see what her mother was doing. She found her mother in the kitchen preparing lunch, "Oh! mother, what may I do, I am tired of reading and you say it is too rainy to go out?" "I will tell you what you may do."
"What?' asked Mary not waiting to see if her mother had finished.
"I shall tell you after lunch is over and the dishes are washed." Lunch was over and the dishes were washed in half an hour's time, although it seemed like an hour to Mary.
"Now," said her mother, "we shall go to the attic, I have some things there that your grandmother told me to give you just before her death. You are getting old enough to appreciate them."
Mary and her mother raced upstairs to the attic, on arriving Mary saw a very large trunk. Of course she wanted to open this first, because she thought since her grandmother left her so many things they would have to be in a very large trunk.
"Let us open this one first, mother," sail Mary very excitedly. Sure enough she had chosen the correct trunk. The trunk was soon opened and the first thing Mary saw was a very large and beautiful doll.
"Mother, dear, why didn't you show these to me before now?"
"As I have told you, you are just getting old enough to appreciate them," her mother replied. Then her mother gave her a sewing basket, a doll's trunk, knitting needles, all sorts of toys and games. Mary was so excited and surprised she could do nothing but sit, look and wonder.
After everything had been taken out the large trunk. Mary wanted to go to the smaller trunk, but her mother told her she had to prepare dinner as daddy would soon be home. So Mary and her mother went downstairs. Mary set the table while her mother prewould tell him after dinner.
Soon her father came home; he was surprised to see Mary so happy on a rainy day, and asked her why was it. She told him she would tell him afre dinner.
So after dinner, instead of Mary helping with the dishes, she told her father about her most wonderful day. Just as she finished, her mother called her to bed. Mary went to sleep and dreamed of her most wonderful day. I am sure it was very wonderful, aren't you?

"All Over Town"
NAMING BABY IN BUZILAND
From Africa there come many interesting tales dealing with the customs of that continent. In a recent issue of the Lutheran Work, Jennie L. Oberly, tells the following interesting story.
"In Buziland, which is one of the sections of Liberia, naming the boy is not such a very difficult task, for custom has already decreed what its name shall be before it is born.
"If baby is a boy and the first boy, his name will be Zizi. The second boy's name is Kkwwe. When third little brother comes he is called Piu. Number four is Wu, and the fifth is Zau.
"Now suppose there is a sixth boy born in the same family. His name will be Zizivili. Vili means two, so Zizivili means the second Zizi. In this way they go right down the line, adding Vili to the name for the second, third, fourth and fifth. Just try them and see how you would like to have such names.
"Girls are named in the same way. Number one is Woloku, then comes Gamnku, Bakolu, Nou and Gau. Perhaps they never expect to have more than five daughters, for with the sixth they begin to go down the list again adding Vili. So the sixth is Wolovili, then comes Gamavili, Kakovili, Nouvili and Gauvili.
"These, of course, are only their first baby names. When they are big enough, some when they are seven or eight and some not until they are twelve or thirteen, they are sent to the native bush schools. These schools are called Bafaizu or Devil Bush for the boys and Zadikabala or Gre-Gre Bush for the girls. Here they receive another name, and it is this second name which most of they carry through life.
"These bush names sound very queer to us also. Here are a few of them: Yakpauru, whose small brother would be Yakpauza; Gavro's younger brother will be called Gavroba; Mulba and Mulbazum come from the same family. Then there are Flumo, Bede and Bedeba, Kokoiku, Kuwera, Kezele, Suo and Smoiwua, Biya, Woloba and Lavila.
"The girls' names are just as strange to us. They sound like this. Kuluba—she is the head girl in the Bush School—Yama, Rupu, Zobo, Yunga, Dede, Laua, Sua and Gamai. Of course there are many more.
"In this country the people do not have surnames as we do. Some times it is very difficult to figure out just who some one is talking about. However the native people themselves have very little trouble for they identify a certain person as being the brother of So and So and perhaps a nephew of Some One Else.
"Another common way of designating a person is to speak of Headman Yakpauru, Tall Flumo, Black Lavila, Bright Pewu. Others are designated by their special trades, such as Falako the Blacksmith, Flumo the Mat Maker, Kanigai the Leather worker, just as in our country we say John Smith, Frank Weaver, James Tanner. Although John and Frank and James may be respectively a doctor, lawyer and a garage mechanic, you may rest assured that one of their ancestors away back was a blacksmith, a weaver, or a tanner.
