Finley Wilson Protected Day and Night By Guards; Split In Order Threatened Grand Exalted Ruler Forced To Accept Secret Ballot ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—A general turnulk has prevailed throughout the sessions of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, which are being held in the Senior High School, here. On Wednesday, the situation became so serious that Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson had to appeal to the city police for protection. Three body guards were assigned to guard him both day and night. The faction led by Casper Holstein refused to allow J. Finley Wilson to institute so-called steamroller methods in conducting the sessions. Bitter feeling was aroused when Treasurer James C. Martin was suspended and also his lodge, Fort Dearborn, of Chicago, Ill. Later the lodge was reinstated, but Treasurer Martin was not; however, he will be permitted to make his report. This was brought about by a In order to save the grand lodge from a threatened split, a special committee on conciliation was appointed. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was represented by Robert R. Church, of Menphis. Tenn; Perry W. Howard, William C. Hueston, and Isaac Nutter. The Chicago-New York factions were represented by Alderman Louis Anderson, of Chicago; James T. Carter, of Richmond, Va.; Frank McMechen, of Baltimore, and Representative Oscar DePriest. This committee brought in a report restricting the admission to the convention to strictly bonafied registered delegates. They also agreed to vote for Grand Exalted Ruler by secret ballot. This latter was a great victory for the Holstein forces. At noon, Friday, the ballotting had not started. The outcome is extremely doubtful.

DePriest was wildly cheered wherever he appeared. The lower right picture is of a part of the intense traffic that filled all the thoroughfares just before the parade began—Photo by Scurlock. SEVERAL DENTISTS LET OUT IN SHIFT AT HOWARD UNIV. Letter Received August 19 Tells Men Services No Longer Needed In the reorganization of the dental department of Howard University under the new Dean J. B. Donowa, there will be an increase of full time professors and instructors, according to announcements made this week. Last year there were eighteen part-time professors and instructors, twelve of whom were in the clinic. The plan for this year calls for four full-time and two half-time men there. One will specialize in prosthetic dentistry, another in crown and bridge work, one in preventive dentistry and one in oral surgery. The list of three full-time professors will be increased to six. The Howard Dental School has been a class B school. Efforts are now being made to increase the efficiency of the school. The report, current this week, that "practically all former professors have been dropped," is erroneous (Continued on page 2) While playing in an automobile in front of her home, Lollea Goodall, a four-year-old girl, of 2010 Fifth Street N.

WOMAN HELD IN MYSTERY DEATH Ethel Smith Arrested As Material Witness After Strange Killing Ethel Smith, of 441 Prather's Court N. W., was arrested Sunday and held as a material witness in the death of Michael Glammon, 62, an inmate of Soldiers' Home, when she found him dead when she returned from a restaurant where she purchased sandwiches for him at his request. The death occurred in a woodlot near the home under mysterious circumstances. Several bottles and a pistol with one fired shell in it were lying nearby. Blood was coming from his mouth when she returned. At the inquest Monday afternoon the coroner pronounced it a case of suicide and Miss Smith was set at liberty. Police stated that the Smith girl was the center of a quarrel about four years ago between Andrew C. Davis, a white inmate of the home, and William Furgeson, a colored inmate, in which Davis was fatally slashed across the abdomen by Furgeson. Furgeson was later convicted and sentenced to fifteen years, while the girl was held for five months as a material witness in the case. Miss Smith is a cripple, using a "peg leg."

KING RESIGNS AS DEAN Committee Appointed To Find New Dean, To Report September 4 Attorney L. Melendez King, who founded the John M. Langston School of Law of Frelinghuysen University about 16 years ago, tendered his resignation as Dean Wednesday night, at a meeting of the trustees, to take effect immediately. He gave as his reason, his desire to devote his entire time to his extensive practice which has grown to large proportions. Mr. King is the first person of his race to found a law school. This school has been very successful under Mr. King's Deanship. Many of its graduates are now engaged in the practice of law in the District of Columbia and many of the states. In resigning as Dean of the Law School, Mr. King severs his connection entirely with the institution. Dean King's resignation came as a surprise and left the trustees unprepared for it. However, a committee was appointed to bring in nominations for a new Dean. This Committee will meet on September 4, and report to the trustees on September 6. The seven persons forming the committee are Mrs. Jesse Lawson, E. B. Chaplin, F. K. D. Anderson, James Davis, L. S. Calhoun, R. Morris and J. A. Lankford.

WATCHMAN WHO KILLED MAN MAY FACE GRAND JURY District Atty. Greathouse Questions Verdict of Coroner's Jury A Coroner's Jury, Wednesday afternoon rendered a verdict of unintentional shooting, of an unidentified colored man Tuesday night by Joseph H. Seaton, 55, night watchman at Camp Meigs. The man was shot thru the back of the head by a 88 calibre revolver. Mrs. Rebecca Greathouse, assistant district attorney, who was present at the inquest, said that she thought the case should go to the grand jury and that she would confer with United States Attorney Rover on the matter. Seaton testified that he found the man on the premises and took him by the arm and started to the gate on Florida Avenue. When near the gate the man broke away and ran back into the grounds. He fired to seare him he said and did not know that he had hit him. He offered a flimsy alibi of his wife having been attacked Monday night by a colored man and he was therefore apprehensive.

Secretary Holds Closer Contacts With Whites Should Be Guiding Policy While Jim Crow schools for colored children are increasing, separate schools for Indian pupils are to be abolished. With a view to hastening and increasing the Indian's assimilation of American principles and mode of living, and lowering the taxpayers' burden, Indian children will be encouraged to enter white public schools in preference to separate institutions for their education throughout the West, according to an announcement of the Interior Department last Friday. In California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Washington and Oregon, the Indian population generally is quite intimately mixed with the whites, it was stated, and in Oklahoma about 60 per cent of Indian children are in public schools. White public schools are within easy reach of many Indians in the West, the Department stated, and increasing attendance would benefit the Indians and render the expense of separate institutions unnecessary. The Department's statement was as follows: "Wherever Indian children can find places in public schools, according to instructions that have (Continued on page 2) MAN CUT ON WRIST WITH PEN KNIFE; ASSAILANT ESCAPES James Hewell, 38, a janitor, at 1710 Eye Street N.

The Grand Chancellor and his corps of officers have been laboring hard to get all facts available so as to impart them correctly to the grand body in the extra session. This session promises to be a very interesting meeting, for some of the many perplexing conditions that have been a source of concern for many years will be cleared up and a new program will be presented to the members for their approval. OFFICER GETS MAN AND A DUCKING Grappling in the waters of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, at the foot of Potomac street in Georgetown, Policeman Wrenn and Joseph W. Hipkins, a200-pounder, whom he had sought to arrest, were pulled from the canal Sunday night by the fire rescue squad. Wrenn got his man but lost his "evidence" and then booked Hipkins for assault.

"QUEEN HIGH" TO BE AT HOWARD "QUEEN HIGH" TO BE AT HOWARD The Howard Theatre is reported ready to open its doors again next Monday with a new policy which is calculated to give the Washington theatregoers something different from the regular run of shows. The schedule calls for an entirely new full length musical comedy each week, to be produced by a stock company. There will only be one show every night, and two matinees per week. All seats on the first floor will be reserved for the night performances. The Howard has secured the services of Gallie De Gaston, the funny comedian who provided laughter at that house for over twenty-five weeks during the last season, to furnish the comedy for the shows. Among the others in the cast will be Grace Rector, one of the leading ladies, and Charles Ray, who had a very successful stay at the theatre last season. The musical comedy policy is expected to take hold quickly in Washington as the theatre patrons like a change from continual motion pictures once in a while, and like to see the real actors and actresses on the stage. "Queen High" the first of the musical comedies to be presented, is in rehearsal now. A special matinee will be held on Labor Day. The regular night show opens at 8:30. Y.M.C.A.

AFFECTING MASSACHUSETTS The Republican coalition with the Cannonites in Virginia against the Democratic organization is expected by keen political observers here to react against the Republican party in the senatorial campaign in Massachusetts next year. For every gain the Republican party makes in Virginia, there is a corresponding loss in Massachusetts, political experts figure. They base their deduction on the fact that racial and religious issues, which were raised in the last presidential campaign and have been injected into the Gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, will have opposite reactions in these two states. The Negro vote in Massachusetts, but in recent senatorial elections it has been very effective. In the next senatorial election it may be the deciding factor, so close are senatorial elections in that State. In 1924 with President Coolidge carrying the State by 422,669 majority, Senator Frederick H. Gillett, whose term will expire March 4, 1981, was able to defeat Senator David I. Walsh by only 18,00 plurality. Two years later Senator Walsh defeated Senator William M. Butler, who was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, by a plurality of 55,000. So tense is the situation in Massachusetts that Louis K. Liggett, Republican national committeeman from the Bay State, may have something to say about the coalition of the anti-Smith forces and the Republican organization in Virginia when the Republican national committee meets here September 9 to elect a successor to Dr. Hubert Work, chairman, and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chairman. A recent development in the Virginia situation was the displacing of R. Walter Dickenson, Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor, because he mentioned the fact in a speech that the Dickensons of Tazewell County, Va., supported the Union in 1881. Calom B. Stead, of Richmond, has been nominated in his place. It is assumed that Mr. Jones' ancestors fought against the Union and to uphold slavery. He is an assistant United States Attorney for the eastern district of Virginia. This move is not calculated to aid the Republican cause in either Virginia or Massachusetts. It is more likely to spur on a bolt of colored voters in Virginia to the Democratic ticket headed by John Garland Pollard. There was already dissatisfaction among colored voters because of the coalition and the guidance of the Republican party by C. Bascom Slemp. Many colored voters had expressed their intention of voting against Dr. William Moseley Brown, the coalition nominee for Governor. As far as the Negro voter is concerned the situations in Virginia and Massachusetts will become more acute by the selection of Claudius H. Huston as chairman of the Republican national committee. His ideas as to holding the South are said to be about the same as Horace Mann, who believed it necessary to eliminate the colored voter from party leadership in Southern States in order for the Republican party to carry them for Hoover. CHILD HURT BY BACKING AUTO Struck by an automobile that was being backed from a parking place, Elmer Cook, 5 years old, of 724 16th street N. E., was seriously injured Monday night. Police report the car was operated by Alex M. Burnam of 3100 Water street N. W. The accident occurred near the boy's home. He was carried to Casualty Hospital where his condition was reported as fair. Women are always acting. Even if you find a truthful one, she is probably dramatizing her talent for telling the truth. MORE ELKS' CONVENTION Grand Exalted Ruler Forced To Accept Secret Ballot Grand Exalted Ruler Forced To Accept Secret Ballot (Continued from page 1) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 29 —As the time nears for the thirtieth annual grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks to go into the election of officers, battle lines in the fight for grand exalted ruler are becoming taut. The fight is between J. Finley Wilson, who is seeking an eighth term in the office, and Casper Holstein, of New Rork, who is against his reelection. Within this battle royal is a struggle more intense. It is a fight between Wilson and James C. Martin, grand treasurer, of Chicago. A year ago Wilson espoused Martin's election. They broke several months ago, and it is Martin who is furnishing Holstein his chief support. Monarch Lodge of New York City and Fort Dearborn Lodge of Chicago have joined in the fight being waged against Wilson. They have been given promises of support from other lodges from other sections of the country. So intense is the situation growing out of the bitterness of the fight between Wilson and the combined forces of Holstein and Martin that numerous fights resulting in slight casualties have taken place on the streets. The grand lodge was formally called to order Tuesday morning in the Senior High School. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson presided. The session lasted only a short while, a recess being taken for the parade which was scheduled to begin at 2:30 p. m. According to conservative estimates, 15,000 Elks marched in the annual grand parade, while a crowd variously estimated up to 100,000 watched the marchers. Outstanding in the parade were the women marchers, members of drill or marching clubs. They also appeared in distinctive uniforms. Traffic in the city before, during and after the parade was completely paralyzed. It was said to be the worst traffic snarl ever experienced here. After the parade it was hours before the congestion was disentangled. Trolley and bus service were tied up in a knot. Trains on both the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads were stalled because of automobiles jammed on the tracks. William J. Harvey, of Philadelphia was awarded first prize in the final of the national oratorical contest. The prize carries $500 in cash and a four-year scholarship at the college of the winner's selection. Other winners were Seaton W. Manning, of Boston, second; Catherine Wiseman, of Detroit, third; Evelyn Hill, of Columbia, S. C., fourth; Dotie Mae Bridgefort, Athens, Ala., fifth, and Elmer House, of St. Louis, sixth. Various gambling rackets resaped a harvest from delegates and visitors. A varied assortment of "gyp" games made their appearance here to bait the "suckers" attracted here by the Elks convention. Flash games, at which players were given 50 cents for a dime and $5 if the flash stopped on a red light, were in full operation. Another game equally as profitable was known as the "automobile game." Miniature autos bounced along the counter, and payoffs were made according to the number on which they stopped. If they went into a "garage" at either end, the racketeer took all. Public exercises were held Monday afternoon. Attorney Isaach Nutter presided. State and City officials delivered addresses of welcome. Responses were made by officers of the grand lodge and the grand temple. Memorial services were held Sunday night at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church. The Rev. George Avant delivered the eulogy.

T. Hawkins with a watch charm. The gift was given in appreciation of the five years Mayor Hawkins has served this all-colored town. Many prominent speakers appeared on program. This town was incorporated by a special act of the state legislature and has been governed by all colored officials since. It is located in the heart of one of the fastest growing suburban sections adjacent to Washington. The new Rhode Island extension will pass right through the town before connecting with Baltimore boulevard at Hyattsville. Wilbur Says Separate Schools Uneconomical (Continued from page 1) been sent out from the Department of the Interior to superintendents and supervisors in the Indian Service, they are to attend such schools, instead of those institutions throughout the West that have been created especially for the purpose of educating them. "Indian children applying for enrollment in Indian schools this Fall will be required to fill out a questionnaire which furnishes a picture of the home situation, family resources, distance from public school, nature of that school, and reasons for not attending it. If it appears that the child should go to the public school it is not to be admitted into the Indian school. "This principle has been applied in the past in certain localities, but under the policy of Secretary Wilbur, who holds that closer contact with the whites and assimilation should be the guiding policy of the Department, it is to be more rigorously enforced. In the State of Oklahoma, 60 per cent of Indian children are in public schools, and it is held that equal or greater percentages of them might attend these schools in many other communities. "In California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Washington and Oregon, for instance, the Indian population is generally mixed with the whites. The schools of the whites are within reach of many Indians. Under the circumstances, it is held, in fact, to be uneconomical that the money of the taxpayer should be spent in maintaining separate institutions for them. "The Department believes that it would be much better for the Indian child if it should attend public school. In those schools he would come constantly in contact with white children and would learn much of their ways and philosophy of life. He would learn how to get along as a member of the dominant civilization. It is hoped that he would absorb the white man's idea of work and money making. When his education was completed he would be as ready as is the white boy to go out in the world and earn a living. "In the Indian boarding school the Indian child lives entirely apart USED CARS OUR PLEDGE To the Public on USED CAR SALES 1 Every used car is conspiciously marked with its price in plain figures and that price just as the price of our new cars, is rigidly maintained. 2 All STUDEBAKER automobiles which are sold as CERTIFIED CARS have been properly reconditioned, and carry a 30-day guarantee for replacement of defective parts and free service on adjustments. 3 Every purchaser of a used car may drive it for five days, and then, if not satisfied for any reason, turn it back and apply the money paid as a credit on the purchase of any other car in stock-new or used.

Ave. and 15th St. Decatur 686 from the whites. In his home background there is no understanding of a modern world and how to get along in it and little of this is gained in an institutional school. When the young Indian emerges from such a school he is not nearly as able to get along in a world dominated by the whites as he would be if he had been in contact with them for 10 years in public schools. "An example of the sort of reservations that will be affected by this order is that of the Omaha Indians in Nebraska. There are some 1,600 Omahas who have been allotted fertile farm lands in eastern Nebraska. They own tracts of 50 acres to 100 acres apiece. Most of them have good houses in which to live and incomes from their lands which they do not farm themselves but lease to white men. Practically all of them speak English. "Ninety per cent of the members of the tribe live within four miles of the town of Macy with modern grade and high schools. There are public schools in the farm country in which they live. They are as able to take care of their children and educate them as is any other group of Americans similarly situated. There would seem to be no reason why special provision should be made to board and clothe their children in separate schools where the result in practical education is much less than it would be if they stayed at home. "These Indian children who live in isolated all-Indian communities will still go to Indian day schools and boarding schools. Care will be taken of those whose parents are so poor that they cannot provide proper food and clothes for them. At the schools, however, the effort will be made to increase the contact with the whites, to teach boys and girls how to make a living as members of their communities, and to aid them to get money-earning places when they have finished school. "A number of the States are now almost ready to assume responsibility for the education of their Indian citizens. In some of them where school funds are none too large and where the Indian is not a taxpayer, the Federal Government will be asked to pay tuition for the Indian pupils. It will do this where the circumstances seem to warrant. Gradually, however, responsibility for the education of Indians will be shifted to the States and eventually the Indian citizen will be treated in no way differently from the white citizen.

FIGHTERS FINED FIVE DOLLARS Referee Gets $25 Fine; Judge Regrets That Promoter Escaped OTHERS NOLLE PROSSED UPPER MARLBORO, Md.— Scoring the custom of "taking advantage of Prince Georges County" in order to hold illegal boxing matches, Judges J. Chew Sheriff convicted and fined three men caught in a raid at Williams' Electric Park, 61st and Sheriff Road, northeast, last Monday night. Those convicted and their fines were: Harry Sheehy, known as "Kid Sullivan," an old time fighter, $25 for participating in a boxing match as a referee without obtaining a license; James Glascoe and Grady Gamble, $5 each for entering the ring without having been declared physically fit by a competent physician. Charges against John Burch and Mary Johnson, who were also arrested in the raid, were dropped at the start of the trial. In imposing the sentence, Judge Sheriff said that he was sorry that the court could not reach out further, and added that it was "unfortunate that the promoter of the boxing match was not present to be dealt with according to the law." Although 21 warrants were issued against the quintette, 18 were nolle prossed after the three defendants brought to trial pleaded guilty to the technical charges placed against them. The warrants which the sheriff's office had placed against the prisoners included conducting a boxing match without a permit from the boxing commissioners, conducting a boxing match without a permit from the State boxing commission, and conducting a boxing match without posting bond. Although the defendants pleaded guilty, the court went to considerable effort to uncover the facts of the case. Sheehy was questioned at length. He said that he had been engaged in the sport of boxing for thirty years, but was rather indefinite in his replies as to queries as to his connection with the raided exhibition. The man said that on previous occasions he had paid his fee to a representative of the State boxing commission "at the show." Last Monday night, however, he said, there was no representative present. He declared that this was the first time he had referred matches at that locality. He said that Mr. Williams was the promoter, but that he had never met the man. He explained that he had been "asked by a friend" to go out that night and ask for "Dixie Kid." Inasmuch as he had not paid the required fee, Sheehy said, he would receive no compensation, but if he had paid, his pay would have been $25. The defendants had all been held on a bond or $5,000. Sheehy and Mrs. Johnson were the only ones able to post it. Sheehy was represented by Albert Stern, a former Assistant United States Attorney, while Clarence Roberts appeared for the others. Prizes and Awards Made At Closing Exercises Of Playground The closing exercises of the Garnet-Patterson playground, held on the grounds last Wednesday afternoon, featured the award of medals won during the year to the successful contestants. An excellent exhibition of handicraft work by the girls was another feature of the program. The medals were presented by Mrs. Nellie Smith, directress of the playground, after a short talk in which Leo Wilson, assistant director, stressed the value of sportmanship. Mrs. Smith also delivered a brief message on the same subject. Those who received awards were as follows: Gold Button Test: Rufus Collins, Earls Pree, Ralph Greene, Joseph Hager, Frances Browne, and Jack Henderson. Silver Button Test: Raymond Tolson, James Smith, and Theodore Frances. Bronze Button Test: James Howard, James Mackey, Roy Wilson, Cleophus Giles, and Frank Warf.

SOX-HAWKS DIVIDE DOUBLEHEADER Black Sox Hit Fells To All Parts of Field In the First Game In a doubleheader played at Union League Park last Sunday, the Black Sox divided a double-header with the Woodburn Hawks, with scores of 19-5, in favor of the sox, and 8-5, in favor of the Hawks. The Sox combed the slants of C. Fells to all corners of the lot for an easy win over the Hawks in the first. After the second inning, when the Sox registered seven times, Bland had easy sailing, aided by the heavy stick work of Jefferson, Ford, Moten, and Baylor. The Hawks were ragged afield, having ten errors counted against them. Second Game Pressing Grant, one of the heroes of the Departmental League, into service the Hawks looked like a different team in the second game, playing flawless ball, and hitting well. To most of the fans, Danny seemed to have erred in his judgment of the ball, as it went far in the outfield, Carroll dropping it after a long run. The Sox evidently ran themselves out in the first game, and runs and hits were warmed with G. Hornsford h. h. h. W. Hawks. h. h. h. Black h. h. h. Stewart.ft. h. h. Jeffton.fry. h. h.

The Spartan Athletic Club received a special pennant for their cooperation during the year, and for their ability to stick together. In presenting the pennant, Mrs. Smith explained the meaning of each of the letters in the name "Spartans", and asked each of the boys to live up to its ideals. Mention was also made of the excellent baseball games played in Anacostia last Tuesday. The doubleheader ended in two victories for the Garnet Midgets, the first by a score of 13-8, and the second to the tune of 12-5. The competing team was the Anacostia Midgets. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1929 CAMP PAROLE TO HAVE BOXING BILLY CARTER IN SHAPE FOR FIGHT Johnny Crutchfield And Young Stone Ready To Fight on Same Card CAMP PAROLE, Md. — Final preparations are being made here for one of the biggest boxing events of the year, when Billy Carter meets Morris Tasco at Dreamland Park next Saturday night, August 31, in an eight-round fight. Carter is an experienced Washington professional fighter, while Tasco hails from Baltimore. The semi-finals will feature two other Washington favorites, Sailor Boy Crutchfield and Young Stone, both of whom were feature attractions at other boxing matches about the city. Crutchfield will meet Jimmie Dennis, an Annapolis boy, in a fight scheduled to go six rounds. Crutchfield recently won the welterweight championship of Washington in a fight at Williams Park. Young Stone will meet Isaac Brashears, of Annapolis, in another six-round battle. Plenty of competition and a real battle is assured. To get to the park, one should drive out the Baltimore Pike to Bladensburg, turn right on the Crane highway and follow it to Camp Parole. The arena is one-half block inside the town, and there is plenty of parking space. Mr. Lee, who is the manager of the Washington boys in the fights, has assured the sports editor that he has procured a license, and an approval from the state-boxing commission. He is planning to stage two matches every mouth. Tickets for these bouts can be purchased at his office, 1530 Twelfth St. N. W. DIAMOND DUST Scales, second baseman for the Lincoln Giants, is now the property of the Homestead Grays. Rumor has it that John Bunyon Beckwith, hard hitting third baseman, was sent to the Lincolnins in exchange for the hefty second sacker. The Kansas City Monarches recently turned in five double killings in a nine inning game against the Western Cubans. Jessie Hubbard, formerly pitcher and outfielder with the Baltimore Black Sox, is now a business man in Baltimore. He has opened a first class coffee shop on the corner of McMechen and Pennsylvania Avenue. "Ben" Taylor, John St. Lloyd, and "Cyclone Joe" Williams, the triumvirate of colored patriarchs of baseball, refuse to heed the call of Father Time and continue to play better games than many others much younger than they. "Nip" Winters, "Red" Ryan, and "Scrap" Lee, once members of the Hillsdale's great twirling corps, are now members of the Baltimore Black Sox team. "Uncle Ben" Taylor has dubbed himself the second "jab". His team is the champion hard luck team of the American Negro League. Treachwell, formerly with the Bacharach Giants, pitched twenty innings against Rube Foster's American Giants, and yet lost the game, 1-0. ANACOSTIA WINS CHAMPIONSHIP "Gob" Williams, fast Anacostia Juniors annexed their fourth straight championship last Sunday, when they downed the Willow Tree Juniors to the tune of 10-7. The game was well played throughout, and packed plenty of thrills for the spectators. Irving Queen, who started for the Anacostians, was yanked in the fourth in favor of Eddie Berry, the winner's ace, after the southwest crew had scored three runs. Berry pitched in his usual fine style, and allowed only six hits. He also struck out six batters, and helped his cause along with a triple, a double, and a single out of five times at bat. His double KID CHOCOLATE IS VICTORIOUS OVER AL SINGER DECISION IS JEERED BY CROWD OF 45,000 Both Youngsters Perfect In Boxing Technique; No Knockouts POLO GROUNDS, New York—Before a crowd of over 45,000 of the fight-faithful New Yorkers, Kid Chocolate successfully met and defeated his greatest rival, Al Singer, in a tingling twelve-round bout held here last Thursday night. From every section of the Bronx, from whence hailed the mighty Al, and from every nook and cranny of New York's Harlem, where the Cuban makes his home; came thousands upon thousands to witness a fight where nothing but personal supremacy was involved. The gate receivers ran well over $200,000. The competition was so close that even the three judges did not agree, two voting for the dusky Cuban, and one for Al. The decision was loudly jeered by part of the crowd after the furious battle, and many were of the opinion that the fight was an easy draw. There were no knockdowns, and the two fighters, almost letter-perfect in boxing technique, fought swiftly and cleanly through the twelve rounds. Fighting a careful counter-campaign, Chocolate set the pace for the Jewish lad in spite of his aggressiveness, and met Singer's swift rushes with remarkable skill. The colored lad closed up Singer's best blow, a stinging straight right to the head, tied him up in the clinches, and outgeneraled the Bronx boy at every step. Despite the weight advantage of 3½ pounds which Singer held over Chocolate, the Cuban finished the stronger. Both Singer and Chocolate seemed to have two great rounds. In the fifth, the Kid looked dangerously near to being finished, but with a sudden rally, he shot out a right that staggered Singer, and the Jewish lad had to grab the Kid to keep his feet. It was the twelfth that gave Chocolate his best chance. Singer had tived, and Chocolate, mustering a full measure of strength, pinned Singer to the ropes with a flood of punches that settled the fight as far as the referees were concerned. in the ninth scored Tate, with the winning run. The game was put on ice in the eighth, when Ball, Tate, and Ridley got a single, double, and single respectively, and, after Gross got out, Godoloe singled, bringing in a tiring run. While Anacostia was trailing, 5-4, Jackson, of the Willow Trees, who had been doing excellent work in the box, was taken out and Kelly sent in. Kelly arrived just in time to meet the heavy Anacostia bombardment, and to get credit for the loss of the game. Anacostia ..... 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 3 3 - 1 Willow Tree ..... 0 0 5 0 0 2 0 0 - 7 Two-base hits—Bells, Dale, Riley, Berry Berry, Three-base, Berry, Riley, Strike Berry, Three-base, Berry, Queen, Berry, by Jackson, 4; by Kelly, 2.

GOSLIN'S HOME RUN HITS WOMAN While Washington baseball fans cheered Leon "Goose" Gooslin, star outfielder of the National team, last Wednesday afternoon as he made his sixteenth home run of the season, a far more serious scene was enacted in the rear of 523 You Street N. W., where Miss Altaf Oram was struck by the ball and seriously injured. According to police reports, the woman was hanging clothes on a line in the yard of her house when the ball, solidly hit by the 1928 American League batting champion, struck her on the right shoulder, dislocating that member. She was treated by a family physician who resides in the same block. Fans in the Griffith Stadium were not aware of the accident to the woman, and it was not until the game progressed several innings that Goslin was informed of the damage which had resulted from his circuit wallop. He immediately sent a message of sympathy to Mrs. Oram.

Hopkins If phatepiears ietures, in colors, be- some a ‘ing, ’tis then that the, Negro will come into his ome, Waidhetes the pletyres of col- ored players have not shown up well. The color of the actors do not have sufficient background con- trast to heighten the features of the players. If you saw “On With the Show,” which played at the Lincoln The- atre recently, the very beautiful spots in the picture was the col- oring offered by the nine Negro players. Ethel Water's beautifl brown and dimpled face was a relief from the drab sameness presented, by the chorus of white girls. The contrast. was emphasized most when the white chorus made a background for the Four Covans. The other Negro players are The Shuffle Along Four, a harmonious niale quarter. Although the colored players’ spots sre of brief duration, they are evidently the spice of the pic~ ture. ni ee HALL JOHNSON WRITES NEW YORK CITY.—Hall John- son, well known choir ditector, is gemiposing a colored opera. which deels with the history of our race from the early African times to nancipation. 7th and T Sts.

Joseph Von Sternberg, who directed Bancroft in “Underworld,” also made “Thun- derbolt.” It is the story of a man Who lives cutside. the law inthe hidden places of the Negro dis- triet. “In securing Negro types,” said Director Von Sternberg, “we were fortunate that Los Angeles has. a miniature Harlem of its own in its Central Avenue district. A thor- ough search. gave us scores of Ne- groes who have really lived in Har- Tem.” George Bancroft has done a great piece of work; greater than he offered in “Underworld,” be- cause in “Thunderbolt” he talks.

On the. screen, Thursday and Friday, September 5th and 6th, William Boyd in “The Leather- neck” will be heard and seen.

PUBLIC , Beginning Monday Ma The Howard Theatre has had its ups and downs in the last two years in securing entertainment for its patrons, and with the coming of the talking pictures, it has been doubly hard on the theatre. The time has now come when we have but one choice in the matter and that is either to keep the Howard closed or give the public something different. It is entirely up to you as to whether the Howard remains open or closed. We are going to open on next Monday with an entire new policy for your approval and will endeavor to test the policy out for a period of time. If you do not support it, it will mean that Washington will be without a theatre for any stage shows, and the Howard will close its doors. If you do support this policy we will endeavor to give you more and more each week. The admission price will be increased to 35c and 50c for matinees, and 50c, 75c, and $1.00 at night. We are forced to advance these prices so that we may be able to present these Broadway musical comedies in a high class manner. There will be but two matinees each week and one show nightly, and a midnight show on Friday night. This is our only chance of establishing a theatre for stage attractions, and the public knows that the day of the traveling road show companies have been entirely eliminated from the field and most theatres have established what is known as "Stock Policy." If you truly want stage shows, you can show it by attending the Howard each week. Don't wait for your neighbor to tell you whether the show is good or bad, there will always be a good evening's entertainment on hand for you---SEE IT YOURSELF---SEEING IS BELIEVING. Your wishes are our problems and we are here to give you what you want. Don't hesitate to tell us if you like or dislike our shows; be honest with us and yourself.

Many reasons ate advanced for the supplanting of veteran work- ers with youths. One reason given is the high speed of the present industrial machine makes it harder for old men to train for the new Jobs than for young men. Another reason given is that older men are more liable to accidents than young men. Still another reason is the higher cost of workmen's compensation insurance for older men. Group insurance and pensions play their part also against the man past 45. Even the Federal Government has joined the industrial ban and refuses to hire a man over 45 for postal work, ‘There is much food for thought in this report, and the reasons given for not hiring men over 45 and not continuing veteran employees, The high speed of the industrial machine has not only cut off and cut out older men, but those same machines have displaced thousands of men, both young and old. This displacement of men by machines and the lowering of the age limit has affected, and will continue to affect the Negro. Then the question arises as to what can or will be do to offset his vanishing economic status? Young men should take warning. They can not afford to throw away their time, means and energy and expect comfortable old age. Colored people are erying hard times all over this country,” and yet the financial and industrial reports say the country is in better condition than it was a year ago. Why the contrast of substantial gains, successful progress, large circulation in currency, and yet the Negro's cry of “Wolf”? ' What affect has the hgih speed machine and age limit on this situation? s THE CONTRAST BETWEEN TWO MEN “_, , 1m the death and burial of two men last week we have the example ‘of how the white press stresses the old servile slave type of Negro and remains silent on the brave, forward looking, independent type of Negro. Both men were old, but bore'a different spirit in their bosom. James Parks, who was born a slave of George Washington's adopted son, G. W. Parks Curtis, and worked on the “Arlington Es- tate,” as a slave, after freedom he remained there and became a guide and served for a long time. He died last week and the white press curried nearly a column of news of his life, death, and burial. Special permission was given for his body, as a citizen, to be interred in the Arlington Military Cemetery? A "good Negro” died and was shown oee in his burial. Even Brisbane gave him space in his “To Day” column. The other picture is that of Mingo Sanders, a man of 70 years, born in tae South during the Civil War period. He joined the Army in 1881, re-enlisted six times, He was first sergeant of the 25th In- fantry and was ordered to Fort Brown, at Brownsville, Texas. The race prejudiced whites of Brownsville resented the Negro regiment being stationed there and attacked the colord soldiers. They resented the attack with telling results. Mingo Sanders was among the 170 men discharged without honor by President Roosevelt. He had been in Company B, of the 25th Infantry, for more than 25 years, He declared his innocence then and maintained it to his dying. day. Mingo Sanders died last week, and ~he too was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery. Not a word of eulogy nor even a notice ef his death appeared in any of the white papers. Bingo Sanders was not a “good Negro,” according to the white man’s psychology nor his philosophy. He was not of the servile type and therefore none of the white papers printed columns of praise of him. INCONSISTENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT A statement issued by the Department of the Interior segeraing Indian children attending public schools clearly shows the flagrant inconsistency of our Government, on the separate school situation in Particular and the race question in general. ‘The statement says in part: “The schools of the whites are within reach of many Indians. Under the circumstances, it is held, in fact, to be uneconomical that the money of the tax-payer should be spent in maintaining separate institutions for them.” How about colored chil- dren who live near white schools and are forced to go a mile or more to a.separate school? Is it not as “uneconomical that the money of the tax-payer should be spent in maintaining separate institutions” for colored children? And more “uneconomical” because there are more ef them than there are Indians. ‘ But read this: “The Department believes that it would be much better for the Indian child if it should attend the (white) ipoblig schools. It is hoped that he would absorb the white man’s idea of work and money making. When his education was completed he would be ready as is the white boy to go out in the world and earn a living.” Rememer this is an authentic statement from your Government on ‘separate schools, as it concerns the Indian child, but is rather silent on separate schools for colored children, ‘our Government wants the Indian to be prepared and rend. “to go out in the world and earn a living” as the white boy. The Negro boy prepares himself, at his own expense, not at the Government's expense, and goes out in the world to earn a living and this same Government, so solicitous for the Indian hoy, this Government whose President declared for “equal opportunity,” this same Department of the Interior which issued this statement, shuts the door of opportunity in the colored boy's'face whenever he applies through the Civil Service for a position in this department. ‘This same Department of the Interior, your Government, if you please, is a party to the separation of colored children from the whites. And yet it issues an order for the Indian boy to attend white schools so that he can “get along in the world dominated by the whites.” The ten year contact in white public schools would mean much to the Indian. Why open the door of opportunity to one child and close it to another in this boasted “land of the free’—this much heralded Republie? Is it good government? Is it in keeping with the principles of this Government to demand that one group must attend white public schools and deny another group of citizens the same privilege? That kind of treatment makes revolutions, TEN THE LETTER BOX NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER! Editor of the Tribune, Sir: In connection with E. B. Hen- derson’s timely protest against the increasing tendency of radio en- tertainers to ridicule colored people, much good may be accom- plished in the same direction if the thousands of colored readers of the Saturday Evening Post would voice their displeasure at the frequency with which the word “nigger” and similar expressions appear in the latter publication. For example, in the Saturday Evening Post of Juy 27, 1929, a short story entitled “Pappy Blue Boy” contained the word “nig- ger” ten times and the express- ion “black boy” or “black gal” at least five times. In another story, entitled “When Lonesome Came to Solitude,” in the same issuse of this magazine, the word “nigger” ap- peared no less than six times. ‘These are not isolated instances.

SERRE cece ae ARTICLES What ‘are the real political dif- ferences in this small community? Why are there factions among so few people? cae Most communities where ihtelli- gent people live, want good roads, security in property rights, order, esthetic surroundings, and they want to-get these things as inex- pensively as possible. Highland Beach has like wants. Some lead- ers of the people see one way of getting things, and others. would tise other ‘means, One set 1s in, one group is out. The group in wants to keep in, and those out criticize those in. And so it goes One group of people at the resort led by ex-mayors Henderson and Francis wanted civic improvements to come within the lifetime of the Beople: now living. ‘This party would settle the vexing problems of street ownership, beach owner- ship, boundaries, etc., by securing the best legal advice or by resort- ing to court action if, necessary. ‘They profess to believe that spend- ing of the people’s tax moneys on private property that is subject to sale or private use is not legal, and that first of all these fundamental matters should be set. straight. They have pointed out that if the present assumed owners should die, he beach and strests, if privately owned, might fall into the hands of exploiters, despite present inten- tions and verbally expressed prom- ises. The present Mayor has on oceasions stated that it is his be- lief that he owns the beach and the streets. His brother denies this and asserts publicly that he owns ‘these ordinarilly public con- veniences, The above mentioned adminis- trations attempted to secure such legal advice. ‘They also acted upon the assumption that the Maryland Legislature was right in granting the commissioners of the town the power to improve streets and con- trol them. They removed trees from the streets and sought legal advice. Immediately was opened a campaign of bitter opposition. The night time conferences and back Poreh gossip grew in intensity. ‘sits were made to the Maryland Forestry Commission to have it ap- pear that the Commissioners were violating the “Roadside Trees Act” and arrests were threatened. Rum- ors were circulated that money was being inexpeditiously and unlaw- fully spent, It was asserted that a former commissioner was being paid by owners of Bay Highlayds to open the town.to these lot own- ers, Other maliciously false state- ments were made in a subtle whispering campaign in the effort to weaken the majority of commis- sioners, An attempt was made to further embarrass one of the Board who had gotten into legal difficul- ties by giving false information in quarters where it was thought he ae be hurt. Cartoons were ex- hibited in the homes and schools of Washington and vulgar poetry was distributed about the streets of Highland Beach, A large num- ber of fair minded citizens de- plored the notoriety the town was getting but were powerless to stop the women and men engaged there- in, In this melee the real issues were to a big extent submerged, Finally, tired with denying rumors and circulated falsehoods, four of the five commissioners published in the press and elsewhere that under no circumstances would they workers in interest of town pride be candidates for re-election. Dur- ing this time one of the staunch had weakened, sickened and died. ‘Many of the people want various civic improvements, They do not believe that certain officers in the town will do much towards im- proving things. They would point to the number of years during which the idea of a memorial arch has been born, fostered, and yet all that has come about’ has been the erection of two delapidated Pine posts put up a year ago and still standing. They have waited longingly for a clearing of the lated depredations that might oc- beach to provent the widely ciren cur in the rank undergrowth. How- ever on every Board there have been energetic workers who gave time and money to serve their fel- low townsmen, Even in this shop, Tam told, much free printing. has been given in those days when the Rnvicak SA tie keen waite anantl? and a Dr. Washington have done yoemen’s work. Dr. Wells has de- voted hours and days to supervision of the street work. : ‘A very inequitable basis for taxation exists in the town. This is said to be one of real issues that is beclouded. If the streets and the beach are privately owned, no taxes based upon separate evalua- tion are to be found, An exami- nation of the record for one year shows that most of the unsold lots bear an assessment of $50, but im- mediately one is sold and recorded even though not a single improve- ment is made thereupon, the assess- ment in the new owner's name runs up to about $200 or more depend- ing upon where the lot is. This means that as soon as one gets a deed and records it he will pay on lot value several times more each year for this property. On the Bay Front one finds the choicest lots owned bearing in one instance an assessment of $100, in another $200, while the Terrells, the Fran- cis’, the Murrays, Chases and others pay taxes upon an assessed Value of $300 or $300 a lot. Al though one person claims to own certain streets, a section of Beach, and more than a dozen unsold lots, and modern home in a most de- sirable location the assessed valua- tion in one year (1927) was but little more than $2,500. Some. of the residents of the town in the same year were assessed as fol- lows: Williams $4,550; Ware, $5,000; H. Douglas, $2,450; Flagg, $3,350; ‘Wells, ‘$1,750; Wharton, $5.4005 Myers, $825; Wormley, $2,450; Henderson, $1,400; M. Francis, $1,750; Lucas, $1,500. ‘As astonishing as this seemed, many of the people go right on paying many times more money in faxes than they might pay i€ they were to apply to the assessor for revaluation. The examples shown I am told, do not indicate other inequalities, for some of the most fervent political agitators pay the least taxes. ‘There is nothing more touching to most citizens than taxes and the former commission- ers suggested that since the county assessors invited cooperation they should do so, but immediately the commissioners were termed med- dlers and interferers by those who had axes to grind for others, The 1928 valuation of property was $58,950. and the tax rate was 93.86 on the $100 of which more than one-half is expended by the commissioners of Highland Beach for the people there. Year after year, these taxes must be paid, and If'assessments are not what ‘they should be, taxes are paid unequally. Xe is not to be implied from the foregoing’ facts, which anyone can verify, that any individual has willfully or intentionally attempted to secure unfair advantage. It is a situation largely due to the fact that the assessors have only seen the outside of homes and at rare intervals and because the owners have seldom availed . themselves of the right to review assessments, These facts are public. Citizens of any town or city have a right to know and compare assessments of property and public utilities. Another real issue is the future development of the towns and sub- divisions in the vicinity, A poli- tical subdivision is seldom more naturally bounded than the natural one at Highland Beach. The three Places known as Highland Beach, enice Beach, and Bay Highlands form an extension of land bounded by @ county road, Walnut Lake Oyster Lake and fronting on Ches- apeake Bay. Socially the owners of the property are with almost nc exceptions, intelligent, educated people of the middle classes in American terms, The problems of sanitation, law and order, will eventually be simpler if solved in connection with this natural poli- tical division. But whether the present generation desires it or not welding of these units together is bound to come according to the views of any who have studied the growth of towns and communi. ties. Not many years ago one of the prominent land owners and claimants of the Beach endeavored to buy Bay Highlands and sell the lots. ‘The deal fell through and a man named Syphax acted as agent. He sold to men like Dr, Wormley, Dr. West, Messrs. Nixon, Guy, Flagg, Professor Robinson, . and others, all educated gentiemen. But immediately, this agency be- came active, in’ Highland Beach there arose a steady resentment to this development, and insiduously the people were led to fear a crowded invasion, It was stated that Highland Beach was too small to care for this extension so far as the beach was concerned. Yet, I have been told, that the owners of the property were assured that if the former proposed agent had car- ried through his deal, there would have been no beach problem. Al- It Was This Way, Y’Honor-- A Day in Police Court With ED LAWSON ’Round The Town William Smith, an inmate of the Old Folks’ home, gets into, trouble every time he comes uptown. . A few weeks ago, he was released from jail on his personal bond, and told the judge he wouldn't get into any more trouble. ‘Last Monday ‘he was hailed into ‘court again on two charges, being ‘drunk and disorderly. _ It’ seems that the police had heard a ee deal of noise, cursing, and fight- ing going on’ upstairs in a house in the northwest section, and went in. ‘They found no one there but William, and arrested him. William explained quite empha- tically to dudge ene Given that he never used any Sunday school words. Why he hadn’t been ae town twenty minutes, and e couldn't drink enough to be tight inside of twenty minutes. “Weren't you up heres few weeks ago?” asked ‘the judge. © Yes, sab, and it was the very same thing.” ‘What'd I do with: you then?” “Personal bond.” “Oh, I see, and then you went right out and did the same thing again?” “'Nosir, Here’s how it happened. Cosmo owed me some money, and he sent for me to get it. It was $11.45, and I needed it bad. I gets up tothe house, and Cosmo is in bed. I sits beside the bed, and preity soon in comes Willie, and starts a fuss with Cosmo. They starts fighting and leaves the room. “I waited for Cosmo to come back and pay me my money, but the police came in and saw_me there, and locked me up. Now, y'honor I came up here for: peace, and Td love to go. back in peace. "Deed I wasn't drunk, y’honor.” “Yes, but that’s too much. I gave You mercy once, and you come Tight back with’ the same charges, and from the same house. Ten and five, fifteen dollars.” Nathaniel Dickerson’s _ mother doesn’t like for him to drink at home, and Nat was horribly. dis- tressed. At last he thought of a way, out. He would drink before he got home. He ttied the scheme out. last Sunday. : : _ Nathaniel paid $10 for not mind- ing mamma, James Thompson had some money coming to him from the Southern Railroad Company, but he had to. come to Washington. to get it.. Being rather. financially embarresed for the time, James decided to take to the old sport of riding the brakebands from Balti. more to this city. All went well until Jatien ‘datilad to get of at Son-op-S. S. S. S. S—~Your Sup- er Spy Secret Service Sleuth had just finished investigating the roll- er coaster, when suddenly, two shots rang out in the clear, cold midnight air at Suburban Gardens. The detective jumped. Shots!! With hasty step he started out to investigate. There they were. Everybody was shooting! Bang, bang!! The detective started shoot~ ing too! He hit the. bull’s eye!! Then a clay pigeon. ‘It.was only the shooting gallery No! Not at all disappointed with this finding, the man with the gim- let. eyes turned himself: to other endeavors, to wit, the complete and thorough investigation of the games played at the gardens. Firstthere are the Japanese games, where you roll little balls in little holes with numbers in ’em. You count up all the numbers, and you can either vee some kind of Japanese prize that they buy five cents a dozen, or play as long as you want'to and add up your score to win one of the BIG prizes. The BIG prizes are usually some kind of —apanese dinner set that you spend five or six dollars for any- where else, and about ten dollars here. Sliding down the hill a little farther, we see some kind of con- traption with a skate and 2 whole mess of wires. Horace and Dovey (I'd forgotten all about them) are here. Dovey wants one of the boo- tiful baby dolls, and Horace is out ready, the YWCA by owning a piece,’ of property in Highland jeach with a camp outside of the town have secured the right to use the Beach according to some, which offers a splendid opportunity to a worthy cause. Before the old commission body went out of office the services. of lawyers were secured and the gist of opinions regarding the owner- ship of the beach and streets fav- ored the contentions of. many peo- ple who had given thought to the problems.. The Supreme Court rec- ords of Maryland showed the fol- lowing decision and many others: “It:was held that the RECORDING OF A PLAT OF WATERFRONT PROPERTY, AND CONVEY- ANCE OF LOTS BY PREFER- ENCE THERETO, HAS THE EFFECT OF DEVOTING THE BEACH TO THE PUBLIC AS AN AVENUE.” ae ‘ffany on Real in, De 1926 states as follows: “It is ire: quently stated that if one sells land; or conveys it, with reference to a plat on ‘which plat, anpear streets, squares, quays or the an Inspector naobed him. tie wai arrested on a charge of trespas sing. ‘on, railroad Property. T omen appeal in the cour in-overhalls and a blue shirt, anc told the judge that he was’ sicl and needed the money. He wa: even sicker when a fine of five dol lars was charged as fare from Baltimore here. Fletcher Miller was’ also going to get a check from the Southern. Miler was charged with vagrancy and a bank book, not his own, wa: found in his pocket, “Where did, you get the bank Bogle?” questioned the judge. “I picked it up,” answered Fletcher. “Didn't you know to whom it be- Jonged?” “No, sir.” “Can't. you read writing?” “No, sir, I can’t read no writing. You see, it. was like this. I wa: just going to get this check, and the police came sn and said ‘come with me,’. and there wasn’t anything to do’ but come. I’m. on a pension from the railroad, and T ain't no vagrant.” Flecher was put on. probation. "James. Jones, after a hard ‘night's driving, was hungry. He et his car where, according to his calculations made while slight- Jy. under the influence: of some: thing very ‘strong, the curb should have been. Leaving the other fl lows and a girl in the car, he went into a restaurant to replentish his famished bread. basket. A wandering policeman happen ed along at the moment, ane, ac- cording to his calculations, the car was just about three feet from ‘the curb, ‘When James was hailed int court Monday morning on charges of being drunk, the police had as a witness one young girl, of 25 or thereabouts, who sported a beautiful shiner in her right vi- sionary organ. Said young, girl accused James in no. uncertain terms. “He had heen ‘driving like-he was crazy all night, -and left the car setting ight in the middle of the road ween he stopped. The other fel- Tow. in the car had a gun, and when he saw the police, he stuck it underneath the watermelon. 1 ‘took it out and gave it to. the law ‘ease I didn’t know what they was goin’ to do with me. ate looked likethey: was fixing to. kil me, and that boy was driving like ‘he was going to kill everybody in the car.” James paid ithe U.S. five dol lars and Jem town. to get it. ¢ All Horace has to do is to roll the skate along the track, make it bounce’ back from a piece of elastic at the end, and make it stop in a certain place where it puts the red light on. If you can get the skate to,do that, you really deserve the doll. Horace spends fifty cents, and gets five tin whistles. Then they move on down to where you test your strength by pound- ing a little piece of hard rubber up a piece of wire. Your Super Spy Secret Service Sleuth is right on the-job, and wise as the old owl. ‘The trick they use is an old one. The wire isn’t as tight as it looks, and when the piece of rubber starts p, it starts to vibrating. This slows the rubber up, and it stops half way or less. But the detective plays a trick on the fellow who runs the puncher. Back of the post there is a screw that tightens the wire up. When Horace steps up, the wire is. all tight. Dovey watches him with her heart in her mouth hoping: ‘that the rubber won't stop where it says “scrma,” or something worse. Horace grasps the heavy mallet and swings. Binng! goes the bell, as the rubber climbs straight up and strikes it for the first time in a week. Dovey. is simply enthralled, and watches Horace as he braces himself for another try. Boomp! goes the mallet agginst. the rub- ber, and Binnng! goes the bell. ‘That's two times.in two tries. The trick is workinc. the plat is in effect made a part of the transaction of sale or con- veyance, with the result that the vendee or grantee acquires a right ‘to insist that, insofar as the prop- erty belongs to the vendor or grant- or, the parts designated on the plat as streets, squares, quays or the like. shall ‘continue’ to be de- voted to such public use free from ‘interference by the grantor or one claiming under him.” Another universal. rule summed up in sec- tion 43, Vol. 18, Corpus Juris is as follows: “Where the owner of real’ property’ makes a plat of it and divided the land into blocks and lots, intersected by streets and alleys, and sells any of the lote with reference to the map of a town or city, in which his land is laid ‘off, he thereby dedicates the streets ‘and alleys to the use of the public, unless it appears by express statement in the convey- ance or otherwise that the mention of the streets was solely for the purpose of description and not as a dedication thereof.

BOY SCOUTS “JAMBOREE” More than two hundred visitors Were entertained at a typical scout “Jamboree” last Saturday night by the Gh Division of Washington BBoy sScout now incamp near Highland Beach, Md. ‘The exercises were held in a cleared’ spot near the scout camp, where, seated Indian fashion in a huge semicircle around a roaring bonfire, which rendered the scene as bright as day, the guests were treated to a rare exhibition of Scoutcraft. Instrumental and vocal solos, recitations, and dances were presented by Ecouts Emory Smith, Roland Milton, Clifford Leech, Edward Prook, Robert Mar- tin, Cyprian Hathman, and Alfre- do Duurloo, following with feats of strength and agility which kept the audience gasping were per- formed by members of the troop under the direction of Scoutmas- ter L.

Horace gathers in the reward of his virtue, three Don't-Smoke-'Em- In-the-Parlor stogies, and goes on to another game, where a lot of balis are kept rolling down a chute. Dovey picks up one of the balls, just Jo see what it’s like. The-man, holds out his hand for a single thin dime, and Horace pays. The man takes a thing that. looks like a knife, and sticks it through the bal. A number is pushed out through the side of the ball, and Dovey gets what's displayed under that number. It. happens to be a box of eandy. Dover doesn’t know it, but the box costs the man just three cents. It’s about time that they were etting home now. and Horace is fist about Broke, so. they trek out to the street car line, and hop a galloping rail riden Like return- ing heroes they ride through ‘the mists of the suburbs, through the nightly. showsr of bugs, back to thelr homes in the cltye Horacedoesn’t eat any lunch all that week, for the main and sim- ple reason that he’s broke, but Dov- ey aunches on the eandy and blows the whistles that Horace won.

Mrs, Madison carries out her intention well when you read her “Because” which in part is: “Because you cheered me on. the way so dreary * With pleasant jests, and snatch- es of sweet song; Because you taught that doubt and fear are craven, And ured me onward to be Tave ind strong; Because ; ou helped to smooth a rugged pathway For uncertain, tired, stumbling Feet; Because you made this world, once cold and dreary, A place of joy, and wonderfully swe; Because, when others greatly blamed and chided, Nor understood my strange, un- fathomed ways; You softly smiled, and searched some hidden corner, And found for me a little word of praise. ....” Lovers whose romances are Permanent as any star, Mighty as the boundless sea, Strong as all infinity, Find innumerable reasons For agitation in all seasons.
