Bravery of Mississippi Fisherman Saves Government $162,000 Prominent Physician Sued For Divorce
Though not empowered to regulate street traffic, schoolboy officers guard the safety of their schoolmates at dangerous and congested crossings with care and conscientiousness. Not a single child was killed in Washington last year while these schoolboy patrolmen were on duty. You may distinguish these patrolmen by their white Sam Browne belts and patrol badges. Watch for, and observe, their signals. Since little lives are in their care, we ask that you be careful, too.
SAVING 23 LIVES REDUCED AMOUNT GOVT. MUST PAY
Govt. Agrees to Pay $7,500 For Each Person Lost In River Accident
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The bravery of Tom Lee in the sinking of the Steamer M. E. Norman, in the Mississippi River, near hers on May 8, 1925, when 23 persons were drowned and he saved 23 survivors, proved not only to have saved 23 human lives, but to have saved the Government the neat sum of $162,500.
The Federal Government, Thursday, decided to accept responsibility for the sinking of the boat and to give $7,500 for each of the 23 lives lost. This decision will end the court action begun four years ago, following the catastrophe.
The night the steamer sank, Tom Lee, an humble fisherman, used his row boat, making trip after trip through the treacherous swift current to pick up struggling persons who were calling for help. He was given a home in Memphis, which he had long desired.
What will the Government give him now for saving $162,500 for it?

REV. STERLING N.
BROWN DEAD
Noted Clergyman Was Well Known in Religious Circles Here
By Roy W. Sorrell
Rev. Sterling Nelson Brown, prominent local clergyman, died at Freedmen's Hospital at 1:45 a.m. Tuesday. A last attempt to save his life by an operation failed. He was 71 years old.
Funeral services were held from Ranking Memorial Chapel at Howard University. President Mordecai W. Johnson, Dr. Walter Brooks, and Dr. D. Butler Pratt officiated. Interment was in Woodland Cemetery.
Sterling Nelson Brown was born in Roane County, Tenn., November 21, 1858. He graduated from Fisk University in 1885, with the degree of A.B. He received his B.D. from Oberlin College in 1888, and his D.D. from Howard University in 1906.
Came Here in 1889
He came to Washington as pastor of the old Plymouth Congregational Church in April, 1889. He pastored Park Temple Congregational Church from 1897 to 1901, and was one of the early founders of the present Lincoln Temple Church which he pastored from 1901 to 1914.
In 1892, Rev. Brown was appointed a professor of the English Bible class in the School of Religion at Howard. He established a correspondence school of Theology. He served two terms on the District of Columbia School Board. He was retired from Howard in 1929.
He married Miss Adelaide Allen, of Nashville, Tennessee. Besides his wife, he is survived by the following children: Mrs. Clara Rhea, of Baltimore; Miss Grace Adelaide Brown. Mrs. Elsie Brown Smith, Miss Helen Brown, and Prof. Sterling Allen Brown.
H. U. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS TO REGISTER ON HILL
In keeping with the recommendation of the United States Bureau of Education and the plan adopted by Howard University, student reports of all departments are to be kept in the office of the university registrar.

SAYS U. S. LAGS IN GIVING NEGRO ECONOMIC HELP
Leads World However In Extending Educational Opportunities
LAKE JUNALUSKA.—America has led the world in a practical demonstration that the Negro is educable, but has lagged behind England in giving to the Negro justice in courts of law and in developing his economic future, recording to Dr. W. W. Alexander, director of the Commission on interracial Co-operation, of Atlanta, speaking to the school of missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session here.
While America has showed statesmanship in the field of Negro education, Dr. Alexander declared her standing was not so good in other fields, and cited as examples lynchings, failure of juries to convict white men of crimes against Negro women, and attempted passage of laws in some states prohibiting Negro barber shops from serving white customers, making it illegal for Negroes to work on construction jobs except in Negro communities and otherwise defining what jobs Negroes may work at.
The speaker deplored the use of the race question to inflame public opinion. Both political parties did it, he said, and sometimes even in ecclesiastical controversies the Negro is made an issue when he doesn't belong in the question at all.
North Carolina was praised by Dr. Alexander for the progress it has made in Negro education. During the past year North Carolina spent twice as much on Negro education as on both white and Negro education 25 years ago.
DENTAL CLASSES ARE LIMITED TO THIRTY
The Dental College of Howard University has adopted a rule that restricts the entrance class to thirty students instead of sixty as in former years. It is the opinion of Dean Donowa that more thorough instruction can be given to smaller classes, that it will also make for higher type of students with more careful selection and rigid requirements for admission.
HOWARD INSTRUCTOR MAKES HIGH MARK
James Porter, instructor in art at Howard University, was accorded highest rank at the Art Students League in New York City during the summer session just closed.

CUT BY FRIEND
It took five stitches to close the gash in the left leg of Bertha Jones, age 29, a cook at the New Willard Hotel, after an altercation with a friend, Tuesday, September 23. The Jones woman explained to doctors in Freedmen's Hospital emergency room, that her friend, a Mr. James Kirling, called at her home, 903 V street, northwest, the evening of the 24th. He had not been there long before a quarrel ensued between them. The quarrel became a fight, and Kirling slashed her leg with a pocket jack-knife. Number eight police came in, and the woman went to the hospital, while the "gentleman friend" is being held in the No. 8 precinct.

BOSTON HOSPITAL OPENS DOORS TO NEGRO STUDENTS
Board Voted Unanimously To Admit Girls. Action Is Far Reaching
BOSTON, Mass.-Miss Frances Harris, of Roxbury, and Miss Letitia Campfield, of Cambridge, will enter the September nursing class at the Boston City Hospital, following the acceptance of their applications by the trustees a few days ago. This is the first time in the history of the hospital, according to officials, that young colored women have been admitted to the nursing classes, due, according to Dr. John J. Dowling, superintendent of the hospital, to the fact that none had applied previously whose qualifications met the requirements of the board. The young women now entering, he stated, are high school graduates and well qualified.
"The trustees of the Boston City Hospital have taken the initiative in the matter of recognizing the right of Negro women to train as nurses," Chairman Joseph P. Manning of the board of trustees said in an interview in the Herald. "The decision of the board in accepting the applications of the two young women was unanimous. As citizens they have a perfect right to enter the nursing service and I am glad to say that our institution is one of the first to recognize that right."
ETHIOPIA TREATY WITH U. S. RATIFIED
Ethiopia is one of fourteen countries which have concluded arbitration agreements which are now in force, according to information obtained from the treaty division of the Department of State, on Wednesday. The United States began negotiations for arbitration treaties two years ago with 331 countries. Conciliation treaties were also proposed to 22 countries. The status of the treaties with Ethiopia, according to the text of the statement given out by the State Department is as follows: On August 5, 1929, the ratifications of the treaties of arbitration and conciliation between the United States and Ethiopia signed at Addis Ababa, January 26, 1929, were exchanged at Addis Ababa and the treaties simultaneously came into force.

MORE SEGREGATION UNDER HOOVER'S ADMINISTRATION
Colored Chauffeurs Denied Use of Star Route Garage
Discrimination against colored chauffeurs of officials of the Post Office Department is being charged. According to reports, W. Irving Glover, second assistant postmaster general, who is also the superintendent of the Star Route Garage, has issued an order barring colored chauffeurs from parking their private automobiles in that garage.
The order did not designate the color of the chauffeurs, from whom the privilege was withdrawn, but it named individually only those chauffeurs of Post Office Department officials who are colored. The chauffeurs designated in the order who are not to park their automobiles in the garage are the drivers of the first, third and fourth assistant postmaster generals and the chief clerk.
The order omits the chauffeur of the Postmaster General and of other Post Office Department officials, who are white.
ASKS $10,000 FOR
FALSE ARREST
Mrs. Anna Mabrey, 1323 Corcoran street, northwest, fitted suit in the District Supreme Court, last Saturday, against Bessie Reed, also known as Mrs. A. B. Reed, of 3621 Newark street, northwest, seeking to recover $10,000 for alleged false arrest.
The plaintiff through her attorney, D. L. Grantham, tells the court that on October 20, last, Mrs. Reed had her arrested at Chevy Chase, Md., by Maryland police on a charge of larceny. She declares that she was imprisoned at the Rockville police station for three and a half hours before being released. She asserts that she was brought into public scandal, infamy and disgrace as a result of her arrest and imprisonment.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS SHOOTING OF BOY
Police are mystified as to the events surrounding the strange shooting of Vanderbilt Hawkins, age 21, of Bowie, Maryland, who was brought to Washington and entered in the Freedmen's Hospital by a Mrs. Blackmore, of Bowie Race Track, Md.
Hawkins was shot through the left leg, sustaining a fracture, by some one he half deliriously called Teebee Queen, of Glendale, Md., about 4 o'clock Sunday morning, September 23. The circumstances surrounding the strange shooting have not been learned, too much questioning being abstained from by police and hospital authorities, on account of the boy's condition.
Hurt In Auto Accident
An early morning accident on the Georgia avenue pike caused one man to almost lose his life, and put another in Freedmen's Hospital in a serious condition, Monday, September 23.
William Hopkins, 26, of Kensington, and Louis Pratt were on their way to Rockville, via the Georgia avenue pike, when the car in which they were driving went out of control of Pratt, the driver, struck a tree and overturned. The car barely missed Patt's neck as it somersaulted towards a side embankment pinning Hopkins, the other occupant beneath its wreckage. At Freedmen's Hospital, internal injuries and a semi-conscious condition makes his recovery, as yet, undetermined.

JUDGE HEWLETT NOTED LAWYER BURIED HERE
Funeral services for Emanuel M. Hewlett, a prominent lawyer, who died here on September 19, were held from his home, 1521 Church street, northeast, Monday afternoon. Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, officiated at the services. He leaves a sister, Mrs. A. M. Scott, 903 Ninth street, northeast; a nephew, Paul D. Scott; two nieces, Mrs. Marian S. Baker and Mrs. A. M. H. Barlow, of Kent, England. Burial was in Harmony Cemetery. Upon receipt of the news of his death last Friday, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia adjourned out of respect for his memory.
Judge Hewlett, as he was known, was the son of the late A. Molyneaux Hewlett, professor of physical training at Harvard University. He came here in 1880 and began the practice of law. In 1883 he was admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States and the Court of Claims. He appeared in a number of notable cases during his career. In 1890 he was named justice of the peace by President Benjamin Harrison and was reappointed by Presidents Grover Cleveland, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
Judge Hewlett was born November 15, 1850, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and moved with his parents to Cambridge, Mass., in 1854. He was educated at the Cambridge High School, where he prepared for college and then entered the famous Chauncey Hall School, Boston, an exclusive private institution. He was the first and only colored man to enter that school, and after graduating entered the Boston University Law School, graduating in 1877.

DELANY STARTS CAMPAIGN FOR HOUSE SEAT
Defeats White Opponent In Primary Election; Appeals for Funds
NEW YORK. N.Y.—Having overwhelmingly defeated his white opponent in the recent primary election, Hubert T. Delany, Republican nominee in the 21st Congressional district, has begun an active campaign, which, it is hoped and expected, will carry him to victory in the November election.
Campaign Manager William M. Kelley made known last week the plan that he has adopted to increase the registration among Negroes in the district.
The primary election was quite the most heated one that has ever been held in Harlem, and showed clearly that the Negro in New York City is beginning to use his ballot for all it is worth.
Other Primary Results
Alderman Fred R. Moore, who was denied the Republican designation in the Nineteenth A.D., took his fight to the voters and won by a good majority, defeating George W. Harris, who stood with the white leader of the District who was opposed to Moore. This white leader, who has already served several terms in the legislature, was defeated for renomination by Attorney Francis E. Rivers, and when the new County Committee meets next week, Col. Charles W. Fillmore expects to defeat him for District leader.
Up in the twenty-first assembly district, John S. Hawkins, present Republican alderman, was unopposed in the primary, but his running mate, William Whyman, white, was defeated for the nomination by Lamar Perkins.
SCHOOL OF RELIGION TO OCCUPY A. K. A. HOUSE AT HOWARD

The College of Education has been allotted the rooms previously used by the School of Religion in the main building.
Man Seriously Hurt While Helping Motorist
As a result of offering a helping hand to a stalled motorist, Saturday night, September 21, at Third and T streets, northwest, William Roseborough, age 31, of 316 V street, northwest, is in Freedmen's Hospital in a critical condition. He was struck down by the stalled car which was hit by a street car.
According to stories told to police, three men were proceeding in a car, west to east on T street, northwest. The car, an Essex coach, was being driven by Luke Studivant, 319 Oakdale street, northwest. On the Third street car tracks the car stalled in the path of an oncoming Washington Railway and Electric Company car. The three men attempted to push the automobile off the tracks, but two jumped when the street car failed to stop. The other, Roseborough, was knocked down by the automobile, which was smashed by the street car. At Freedmen's Hospital, the accident victim is suffering with concussion of the brain, several fractured left ribs, bruises about the body, and probable internal injuries.

The document states that they were married in Alexandria, Va., on December 24, 1921. That they lived happily as man and wife until November, 1922, during which time he lavished his affections and attentions upon her. About this time she noticed that he became cool and indifferent toward her and told her that he would occupy a separate room from her and moved his clothing and personal effects into said room and forbade her to ever enter it. For the past seven years they have lived apart, although in the same house. He treated her with contempt and disdain.
Stop Speaking
In 1922, he alleges that the Fou-
tor quit speaking to her and total-
ly ignored her. That she asked
him why he treated her like that,
and he replied that she was good
enough for some one else, but she
did not suit him, and that she was
incompatible to him.
She also alleges that in 1924,

Advises Leaders Not To Accept Money for Campaign Work
Congressman Oscar DePriest is on the western swing of his tour of the United States. He was in Seattle, Washington, last Sunday, and is working his way down the cost to Los Angeles, where he will be, Saturday and Sunday. On leaving there he will return through Denver and Kansas City. He spoke in Seattle last Sunday and told of the ways and means of playing politics and getting "your share of the patronage." He spoke for the Colored Republican Club.
"Don't take pay as a campaign worker," he said. "If you are paid election day, you can't go to a party council later and claim it still owes you something."
Citing his own experience as an example, he declared:
"I worked two years and spent $15,000 of my money doing preliminary work for Bill Thompson, now our mayor. When I started he asked me how much I needed, and I told him nothing—that when the pie was cut, I would point out my piece. I did."
Paying his respects to Senator Heflin, of Alabama, the Negro representative remarked:
"I saw in a paper the other day that Tom Heflin, the senator from Alabama, said if I showed up in the Senate rest rooms he would throw me out. Well, just for that I'm going over there and see if he's big enough. I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not going a block out of my way to avoid it."

STRIKES HEAD ON GAS JET IN BATH ROOM, MAN DIES
Lapsed Into Coma Several Hours After Accident; Buried Wednesday
A curious combination of incidents resulted in the death of Walter Franklin Honesty, 56 years old, at Emergency Hospital, Monday. While at home, 2234 Thirteenth street, northwest, last March. Mr. Honesty dropped his watch on the floor, hending over to pick it up, as he straightened up, his head struck a hanging gas jet. He suffered a slight headache and appeared none the worse for the incident. That night he fell into a coma and was removed to the hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured at the base. He did not regain consciousness and died Monday.

St. Louis Girl Gets
Phi Beta Kappa Key
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Miss Thelma Smith, of 2831 Lucas avenue, was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary scholastic fraternity, at the close of the summer term of the University of Chicago, where Miss Smith received her B.S. degree. She has returned home and will teach in the Dessalines School.
Miss Smith is the first colored girl in the department of mathematics of this university to be elected to this fraternity and the third in the history of the school. She majored in mathematics. She entered the university in October, 1927, and attended two regular terms and two summer schools and made 14 "A's", and 7 "R's".
Miss Smith made a record for herself. She received two awards for scholarship. One in mathematics for maintaining an average for the year and one from the Rosenwald Foundation. She was a member of the Junior Mathematics Club and was captain of the girls' gymnastic class.
GEORGIA SOLONS
LET STREET CAR
BILL SUFFOCATE
ATLANTA, Ga. — Interracial leaders in Georgia are gratified at the complete and ignominious failure of a feeble effort made by a member of the recent legislature to add to the state's burden of segregation laws. The bill, which was introduced by a representative from one of the rural counties, provided that the races must be separated in street cars and busses by an actual partition instead of by an intangible and shifting line, as at present, or else must be carried in separate conveyances, died in the shuffle.
N. B. YOUNG HEADS LINCOLN AGAIN
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-At a special meeting of the Board of Curators, of Lincoln University located here, Dr. Nathan B. Young was reinstated as president of the school.
W. B. Jason, who has been the acting president for the past year, was restored to his former position of dean which he held under Dr. Young.
The restoration of Dr. Young is regarded as a vindication of his educational program for the university and an expression of confidence in his ability to put it over.
Dr. Young came to Lincoln in 1923, from the A. & M. School of Florida, at Tallahassee, where J. R. E. Lee is now president. One of the race prejudiced curators did not agree with Dr. Young's program for raising the standard at Lincoln and Dr. Young was let out at the close of the term in 1928.
Since the election and inauguration of Governor Caulfield, a new Board of Curators has been appointed which is more in sympathy with higher education for the Negro and Dr. Young was recalled to put over his program. The last legislature appropriated $575,000 for Lincoln.

Miss Aida Ward Entertained

Sandridge’s Recital Big Affair
At last, after the round of summer travels, we settle down once
more for a season of home activities which at present promise a very
brilliant outlook. Here, there and everywhere for the past week we
hear “Are you going to hear Justin Sandridge?” Some who have
‘been in some kind of hibernation will answer, “And who is he?” How-
ever, all music lovers are demonstrating a genuine enthusiasm over the
coming of this talented young artist, who will appea\next week in
recital at Armstrong High School. A patron's list, including many of
our representative music lovers and those aspiring as such, has already
been published and it is hoped that in a day or two that'the list will
number one thousand. The affair promises to be one of the most popu-

months.

hostess at bridge in honor of Miss Ward and Mrs. Rene Burrell Tancil,
of Chicago, Il. Those present. were Mrs. Helen Simms Washington,

Edith Taylor, Mrs. Annie Jasper, Mrs. Etta Mason, Mrs. Mamie Akers,
Mrs. Lucie Herbert, and Mrs. Mabel Cooke. Both honor guests were
awarded prizes. Mrs. Edwards won first prize; Mrs. Curry, second;

WOULD CELEBRATE TUSKEGEE INST'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Dr. Moton Says Event Would Be Tribute To School's Founder
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Recommendations pointing towards the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of Tuskegee Institute in 1931 are included in Principal Robert R. Moton's annual report of the work of the institute for the academic year 1927-28, recently published. Dr. Moton recalls the observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary in 1906, "which brought to the institution a host of visitors from among the most distinguished educators, public officials and private citizens of our country including the President of the United States and attracted the favorable notice of the press throughout the land to the achievements which in so short a time had been wrought by Booker T. Washington, its founder." The fifteenth anniversary celebration will aim to "pay further tribute to the genius of Tuskegee's founder and the far reaching influence of his life and work."
Report Submitted
The report submitted to the Institute Board of Trustees recounts the various activities of the school—the enrollment, the organization of the college, the work of the departments of agriculture, women's industries, mechanical industries, academic studies; as well as such extension activities as those of the Farmers' Conference and other agricultural gatherings. The National Negro Business League, National Negro Health Week, the John A. Andrew clinic, and the publications of the Department of Records and Research. It notes the advance in standards of instruction, the fine spirit of the students and teachers, the improvements in the buildings, grounds and equipment of the Institute, the international appeal of the school as evidenced by the many visitors from widely separated parts of the world who come to observe and study the Tuskegee methods of instruction.
RECORD STUDENT ENROLLMENT AT HAMPTON INST.
HAMPTON, Va.—Hampton Institute began its six-second year on September 19, when nearly a thousand students met in classrooms, shops, and laboratories to take up their work in the eight schools of the college and in the academy and trades school. Late reports of the registrar indicate a capacity enrollment, with an increasing number over past years taking the degree courses. Acting Principal George P. Phenix addressed the entire body of Hampton workers in Clarke Hall at the opening of the term.
AN ARTIST HOUR
The Israel Baptist Church, on Eleventh street, northeast, will give an Artist Hour, assisted by the choir of the church, on Sunday, October 6, at the evening service. This is to be a feature of the celebration of the third anniversary of the pastor, Rev. A. B. Fisher. The choir will be directed by Mrs. Maurice C. Tibbs. Rev. Fisher is making history at Israel and expects a successful anniversary celebration.

G.O.P.SENSING NEED OF NEGRO'S VOTE NEXT YEAR
The Negro vote is seen as an important factor in the next election as lines are being formed by Republican and Democratic leaders for a great battle next year for control of the Senate.
Agitation over farm legislation and the tariff is causing concern and the Republicans are impressed with the importance of waging a vigorous campaign to hold a majority in the Senate.
The Republicans, on paper, have a majority of sixteen, but in their ranks are a number of insurgents who frequently desert the administration leadership. The membership of the Senate, as classified by parties is: Republicans, 56; Democrats, 33; Farmer Labor, 1.
In the elections next year, 33 Senators, 435 members of the House, and 33 Governors will be elected. These contests promise to be bitterly fought between the two major parties.
Seven states now represented in the Senate by Republicans will be in doubt in next year's elections. They are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Oklahoma and West Virginia. In each of these states the Negro vote is an important factor because of the closeness of elections. To hold these states the Republican party must hold the Negro vote.
Republican leaders are said to be planning a thorough and determined campaign to hold the Negro vote, and it is possible that before the primary elections efforts will be made to appease disgruntled groups especially in doubtful states.
Senators whose terms expire on March 4, 1931, are as follows: Charles S. Deneen, Republican, Illinois; J. Thomas Heflin, Democrat, Alabama; Charles L. McNary.
GALBRAITH CHOIR INSTALLS OFFICERS

NEGROES ACTIVE IN POLITICS
By J. A. G. LuValle
This year and next, Negroes over the United States are giving and will give much attention to the real election of Negro candidates. They are keenly awake to the opportunity offered in the congested areas of a number of the northern cities.
Chicago is leading because of its Congressman, six state representatives and one state senator, along with Judge George and Civil Service Commissioner Carey.
However, Harlem is striving for a place in the sum. Hubert Delany, son-in-law of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, is the outstanding candidate there, running for the United States Congress in the 21st district. He has the nomination and backing of the regular Republican organization, and should join Congressman DePriest in the regular session of the 71st Congress, which convenes in December.
Fred R. Moore, alderman and editor of the New York Age, is fighting it out with George Harris, editor of The News, for alderman in the 19th district.
DePriest Inspires
St. Louis has been encouraged over McLemore's success last year against Dyer, and with Congressman DePriest's inspiring injunction to elect a Negro to Congress, ringing in their ears, are ploughing deep in order to reap a rich reward next year.
Cleveland is in the midst of an aldermanic and school board campaign. Since Rev. Braun declines to run to succeed himself as alderman, to which place he was appointed when Flemming came down, Dr. Leroy Bundy, of East St. Louis riot fame, is a prominent candidate. Mrs. Mary B. Martin is the leading candidate for the school board.
Louisville, Ky., closed an unsuccessful primary campaign in August to nominate a colored man for the state legislature. "Too many cooks spoiled the broth," and an unknown white man was counted in following the August primary.
Philadelphia Next Year
Philadelphia will be alive next year and the Negroes there may surprise us. Baltimore, like Washington, is hopeless. Unlike Washington, the citizens of Baltimore can vote, but they are not alive to their opportunity. Mr. White man tells them that the "time is not ripe" for them to put up their own candidates and they accept what he says complacently satisfied for another 25 years. The Negroes of Detroit are awakening and will no doubt be in on some of the candidates to run there next year. They are getting some experience in the present city campaign. They do not have time in Pittsburgh to vote and therefore little may be expected from the "smoky city."
PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y.W.C.A.

An Old Resident Dies
Richard Johnson, of 732 Fairmont street, northwest, died Monday after an illness of sometime. He was about 85 years old, having been born a slave in Virginia. He was a boy of 15 when the Civil War broke out. He has lived in Washington for 40 years. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Virgie Johnson; seven children, several grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The funeral was held Wednesday night, and the body shipped to Luray, Va., for interment.

"At times it seemed I could not stand it. When I would have to stand on my feet the pain was very bad. I would get so weak I knew I must take something.

LARGEST INCREASE MADE AT MINER NORMAL SCHOOL
Junior High Schools Hold Down Number Entering Senior Highs
Public schools of the District of Columbia opened Monday with an increased enrollment of 1,183 pupils as compared with the opening day a year ago.
The largest increase in any singel school was noted in the Teachers College in the Miner Normal School, which has just been established by the Board of Education. A total of 120 pupils enrolled in the first year class. In the Miner Normal School 448 pupils enrolled, making the total enrollment in the Miner Teachers' College 568.

The high schools show a decrease of 153 pupils in the enrollment on the first day. This decrease is due to the increased enrollment in the junior high schools ninth grade pupils attending the junior high instead of the senior high schools.
Armstrong's Enrollment

The thirteenth division enrolled 7,262 pupils, an increase of 284 over last year.
N2 Appropriation
Congress has made no appropriation for the Teachers' College. It simply authorized the organization of the school on appropriations to be made available. By 1933, the school administration must open teaching situations to all comers and not give preference to local graduates. The school administrative officers therefore decided to start the teachers' college this year in order to have a graduating class in 1933 to meet outside competition. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, said that he is utilizing the present teaching facilities and is going later to Congress and ask for a deficiency appropriation to meet the requirements of the teachers' college.

year has been worked out. The curriculum for the second, third and fourth years, Mr. Wilkinson stated, will be worked out on the basis of best judgment and experience, the president and new members of the faculty who will come in next year being given an opportunity to submit their views regarding the courses of study. The Miner Normal School at present is being conducted as a separate entity, Mr. Wilkinson stated. It will pass out of existence in June, 1931, when the last three-year class graduates. There will be no graduates from the Teachers' College until 1933, when the first four-year class will receive their diplomas. The graduates of 1931 will have their eligibility for teaching positions extended, until July 1, 1933. They will be placed on an extended consolidated eligibility list, Mr. Wilkinson said.

Over Forty Candidates Out For Armstrong's Foot Ball Team
SIX
STIFF WORKOUTS FACE BIG SQUAD AT ARMSTRONG
Armstrong's football candidates, over forty in number, the largest squad in the history of the school, are hard at practice for their first game. The first call for candidates was made on September 18. At this time thirty candidates reported. On the first day they were put through a stiff drill by Assistant Coach Benjamin Washington. Louis Dabney, '27; Wallace Thorn, '27; and Elmer Campbell, Wm. Starks and Captain Wilbur Wallace, of last year's team, have been rendering valuable service in assisting the coaches. Coach Westmoreland has been driving the boys hard since Thursday. Although a record number of boys are out for the team, every one is being put through in order to develop material. Armstrong's hopes are high this year for the winning of the sectional championship.
NEW COACHES AID CRUDOP IN PRIMING EAGLES FOR CLASSIC
DURHAM, N.C.-F. L. Howard, the aggressive ex-Howard University grid star, who developed a strong team at New Orleans University last year, and J. F. Long, prominent in football circles in this section, will assist Coach Crudop in keying up the North Carolina Eagle eleven for the big inter-sectional classic with Wilberforce, which will be held here Saturday, October 12th.

ALABAMA TO PLAY FIRST NIGHT GAME
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — "The First Night Race Game in Dixie is the topic of major discussion down at the Alabama State Teachers College where the Hornets are busily preparing for their annual gridiron clash with the Florida A. & M. College eleven here at the brilliantly illuminated Crampton Bowl on Friday night, October 4. This night game is being widely heralded throughout the southeast and a considerable number of gridiron fans at Atlanta, Tuskegee, Birmingham, Mobile, and other points have indicated that they will be present to witness this initial experiment in night football.
Dixie Kid has changed his name to "Young Stone," and will keep it throughout his boxing career. He is a very clever fighter and a hard hitter. He has won fifteen fights, four of them by knockout, three draws, and eight decisions.
JIMMIE COOPER LOSES TO BABY COX
一
NEW YORK CITY—Jimmie Cooper's injunction against Baby Cox to refrain her from appearing in Connie's 'Hot Chocolates' and at Connie's Inn, was denied by Supreme Court Justice Crain, after George Immerman, one of the owners, and Baby Cox filed their affidavits. Cooper was also suing for $12,000. Cooper insisted that Baby Cox's services are unique and that her place cannot be filled because she can sing, dance and read lines. Baby Cox replied that she never got more than $75 a week with Cooper, while Connie and his brother, George, pays her $115 a week and gave her first Broadway appearance. Immerman said he believes that Cooper has no use for services but is maintaining action solely in an endeavor to extort money from Baby Cox, now that she appears to be making some headway in the theatrical profession.
VOLLEY BALL AT "Y"
Volley ball activities in the gymnasium of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. will swing into action in the first round of fall pastimes. Arthur A. Greene, physical director, announces the organization of a volley ball tournament to take place Friday, September 27, at 8 o'clock. The meeting will be held at the "Y". The Howard University faculty, Senior High and Junior High faculties, business men and government clerks classes and the "Y" staff teams will make up the circuit. Other organizations interested are asked to have representatives on hand at the gathering.
SMALL SQUAD OUT FOR HOWARD'S FOOTBALL TEAM
Coach Verdell and his assistants are driving the Bison squad through two intensive drills daily in preparation for the opening game with Hampton on October 5th. Although only twenty-five men have reported, and most of them recruits from last year's freshmen squad, there is a fine spirit and the outlook not discouraging. Only four letter men are available for this year's varsity. Two of them, Shelton and Hawkins, have not yet reported, while Marshall and Mack are working as hard as rookies. Mack has been shifted from end to a backfield position, where his speed shows to advantage. Marshall, star half back of last year's varsity, is out in the lead for quarterback, the position vacated by Jack Coles on account of the four-year rule.
Shelton and Hawkins are expected Monday, also Ellis, the 200-pound sub-guard of last year's team. Nuttall, sub-fullback, who showed great promise last year, is also expected to report the early part of next week. The coaches are well organized and show a team work that is an inspiration to the squad. Walker and his assistant student managers have already won the commendation of the coach for the splendid manner in which they are performing their tasks.
BLACK SOX NOTES
After getting away to a bad start during the early season, the Sox finished up strong, and rewarded the loyal fans with the championship of the District.
Nickens proved himself the strike-out king of the staff, breezing 32 during his duty on the mound. Smith has been going strong, being the iron man of the staff, with "Spike" Bland and "Cannon Ball" Bailey turning in some nifty performances.
Fauntroy and Ford are the leading base stealers, being a threat at all times on the paths.
In singing their swan song the Sox extend their best wishes to the loyal fans and friends, and are looking forward for the season of 1930 with even better things in store.
The fans braved the cold to witness the final but were well rewarded, seeing the Sox at their very best.
SQUAD OF SIXTY OUT FOR TEAM AT HAMPTON
By Lubin Pickwood
HAMPTON, Va.—With the advent of the fall, Hampton, with a squad of sixty, starts once more on its quest of another C.I.A.A. championship. With eleven veterans of last year's squad ready for action, and a host of experienced material in reserve, Hampton bids fair to raise higher the standard it has already maintained.
The opening game of the season will find Hampton and its traditional arch enemy Howard in a duel that marks Howard's return to football competition in the C.I.A.A. Not since the fall of 1923, when Doneghy, Howard's flashy captain, led his eleven to a decisive victory over Hampton, has Howard grappled with the Seasiders. Therefore the game is sure to be a thrilling one.
After the Howard engagement, Hampton will play Virginia State, Lincoln, A. and T., and West Virginia in the order named. These games are the major attractions of the season, and will exhibit a brand of football that will find few equals this fall. They will also be featured with gala receptions, hosts of friends and guests, souvenirs for pleasant memories, and football of the fastest and smartest type.
Brown Wins "Y" Ping Pong Championships
James Brown, last Wednesday, won the summer ping pong championship of the boys' department of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.

BLACK SOX WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
BLACK SOX WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Black Sox got sweet revenge on last year's champions, the Georgetown A.C., and regained the crown worn by the west-end boys.
Catching the Sox in a hitting mood and the twirkers in rare form, they were no match at no stage of the game and only tiring themselves out running the bases held the score down.
Smith had everything, only 15 men facing him in five innings, Nickens striking out three during his two-innings stay, Bland going one, with the lone score charged to Bailey due to his own wildness.
Moore, Baylor, and Randolph gave the chilly fans thrills with great plays. Most of the other chances were easy, with all the were obvious.

“Y” Football Prospects Better Than Hoped

All candidates are asked to report at the Monument Grounds at 5:30 o'clock. Meetings are held each Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the "Y" gymnasium.

Mr. Johnson returned from his vacation last Friday morning. The secretaries made it known that special offers would be given those already holding summer memberships, allowing full paid summer memberships to count on the purchase of winter and all-year memberships.

About this time he employed a maid who cooked for and served him. She claims that he pushed her down the steps when she protested this treatment. That last spring he rented out the house as an apartment and confined her to one room while he occupied the whole lower floor and the basement.

Railroad Man Was in Misery
"I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath.
"My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery.
"I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard.
"I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costs only 1 cent a dose.

Tuesday evening, W. W. Kirchy, vice-president, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, addressed the convention and pledged the support of his organization to back the porters' fight in every way possible.
Among those to come from all sections of the country were: Dad Moore, delegate from Oakland, is the oldest, reaching eighty years, and C. L. Dellums, also of Oakland; George S. Grant, Los Angeles; A. L. Totten, and Spencer Watson, Kansas City; Paul L. Caldwell and Frank Boyd, Twin Cities, Minnesota; Taylor Murrell, Omaha; E. J. Bradley, St. Louis; Roy Lancaster, S. E. Grain, New York; O. L. Lawson, Denver; Humphrey Bell, A. D. Austin, Ernest Smith, W. S. Wesley, John Mills, and William Puckett, of Chicago. Many porters in the service are also delegates to the convention whose names it is advisable to give because of probability of victimization, according to General Organizer Randolph.

BARRY FARMS NEWS
The annual art exhibition of the Barry Farm Municipal Playground attracted a large gathering, which included Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, district supervisor of playgrounds. The late Judge E. M. Hewlett is well remembered in the Barry Farm section, he having resided there for more than fifteen years during the time of the illustrious Frederick Douglass. Principal John E. Syphax and the corps of teachers at Birney School held a busy session at the opening of school on Monday. Registration of new pupils was especially heavy. Mrs. Martha E. Ellis, secretary of the local community center, announced that the center will hold its opening session within a fortnight.
Visitors from Atlantic City during the past week included Mr. and Mrs. Madden, Mrs. Etta W. Hawkins, and Mrs. Anna Garrett, the latter being director and organist of the Metropolitan Zion Wesley Church.
Miss Robert Waters, of Upperville, Va., left to resume her studies at Morgan College after having been the house guest for the week of Miss Althnia Queen.

"THE DEVIL'S FOLLIES" AT THE HOWARD THEATRE
For the week beginning Monday matinee, September 30, the Howard Theatre will present Addison Carey's "The Devil's Follies." The show presented by Mr. Carey entitled "Friends Among Friends," for the week of September 23, will long be remembered as one of the best shows having played the Howard Theatre in a long time. Mr. Carey tries to outdo himself in "The Devil's Follies." There will be a gala array of stage celebrities direct from Broadway who will be ably assisted by the popular Howardettes, who have won the respect and admiration of all Washington. One matinee each day, 2:30. One show each night, 8:30. A big midnight ramble will be held Friday night, 12 o'clock.
At the Lincoln, Theatre, beginning Saturday, September 28th, and running through Tuesday, October 1st, will be seen Greta Carbo in the "Single Standard."
The supporting cast includes Dorothy Sebastian, Kathlyn Williams, Lane Chandler, Robert Castle and others of note.
On the screen, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, October 2, 3 and 4, will be seen Paramount's "it" girl, Clara Bow, in "Dangerous Curves." The name of this picture would suggest to each and every film fan plenty of pep and thrills.
MILLER AND LYLES OPEN WITH NEW SHOW IN BOSTON
(By Maurice Dancer)
NEW YORK CITY.—From reports up Boston way, in the dear old Colonial Theatre, Vincent Youmans has given his "Great Day" another tryout and the transcript points out, more in sorrow than anger, that where Vincent Youman's unfortunate operetta is concerned, "A great day is yet to come." The work remains awkwardly put together so that the joints stand out in jagged roughness. As displayed to the New Englanders, "Great Day" has moments of rare beauty, some of the best Youman's music, a story sufficient for musical comedy, sumptuous settings, pleasing costumes, and a group of singers, who can sing to a queen's taste.
"Great Day" features Miller and Lyles, comedians; Louis Deepe and a choir of forty colored jubilee singers. After another week in Boston, Vincent Youmans will bring his musical extravaganza to his Broadway theatre, the Cosmopolitan, for a run.
ETHEL WATERS' LATEST SONG A BIG HIT
NEW YORK CITY.—Speaking of records. From all outward appearances Ethel Waters has overstepped herself in recording her latest release, "Travelin' All Alone," on Columbia records. The best that has been heard of her talent since she recorded "Dinah." "Travelin' All Alone" was written by J. C. Johnson, whose song is backed up with Irving Berlin's "At the End of the Road," theme song of "Hallelujah." J. C. Johnson, a striving young man, has contributed largely towards the success of Miss Waters by writing most of her famous song hits.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE = FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1929
REPUBLIC TO SHOW BUCK AND BUBBLES
Elinor Glynn's first talking picture, "The Man and the Moment," starring Billie Dove and Rod LaRocque, will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28, 29, 30, and October 1 and 2.
"The Man and the Moment" is a typical Elinor Glyn love romance of a girl who married for convenience only. The picture has the cleverest dialogue ever written for a talking picture. Buck and Bubbles, famous colored vaudeville stars, will be shown in the all-talking comedy, "Black Narcissus," as a special added attraction to the feature.
On Saturday, September 28, only will also be shown episode No. 2 of "The King of the Kongo," the first talking serial.
"The Red Sword," a story of old Russia, will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, October 3 and 4. William Collier, Jr., Carmel Myers and Marion Nixon are featured players. It is a startling drama of the colorful days in Russia before the fall of the Romanoff regime.
RECORD CROWD HEARS AIDA WARD
Miss Aida Ward, the sensational star of the original company of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" of 1929, who recently returned from Paris, France, and is now having a short vacation, was the special feature in a musical program given at the Second Baptist Church, of which she is a member, under the auspices of the Baptist Young People's Union.
Miss Ward's friends and admirers showed their appreciation of the wonderful success she has made by crowding the main auditorium of the church to hear her sing, and greatly applauding her at the beginning and end of a group of numbers which were wonderfully rendered, and perfectly in keeping with the qualification of the artist that she is.
She was accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Delia Bundy Wilson, a local music instructor, and was presented to her audience by Miss Laura A. Robinson, a teacher in the public schools. She was also the guest soloist at the morning service, and was very warmly received by the members and friends of her church.
Garland Howard Has New Show Ready
NEW YORK CITY.—Garland Howard is making another attempt at Broadway with his latest musical, "My Gal," which opens in the few days at the President Theatre. Other than Garland and Mae Brown, the cast will include Speedy Smith, Clarence Parson, Nettie Hayle, Coley Grant, Hattie Noels, Joe Byrd, Bob Davis, Al Young, Macy and Al, Black and Tan Trio, Red Lincoln, Joe Lumos, Kitty William Elizabeth's jubilee choir, and twenty chorines. Howard will be best remembered for his work for four years over the Columbia Burlesque circuit in "7-11."
"Hallelujah" Still Going Big On Broadway
NEW YORK CITY.—With many adverse criticisms from our people about King Vidor's "Hallelujah," this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, with Nina Mae McKinney, Daniel Haynes, William Fountaine, Fany Belle McKnight, Harry Gray, and Dixie Jubilee Singers, is still packing them in at the Embassy Theatre, down Broadway, and looks as if it will remain for several weeks to come.

Much has been written these recent months regarding the possible employment of Negroes in chain stores, department stores, filling stations, garages and laundry branch offices.
Nationally speaking, the race should awake to the fact that it can wield a big telling force to break down many oppositions and open new doors for employment. The same is true locally.
While we do not advocate a boycott, we suggest the principle involved in co-operative societies and selling organizations. The fruit growers of California, the tobacco growers of Kentucky, and other selling organizations have pooled their interests to better themselves individually. Mr. Hoover's new Farm Loan Board will only lend money to co-operative societies of farmers.
So with the Negro in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities with large Negro populations. He needs to pool his purchasing power and deliver it to the man, firm or chain that will give him employment.
We far prefer the manning of our own stores and business establishments. But, if we do not have the capital and trained men to run them, then do the next best thing: force our way into good jobs by concentrating our purchasing power into the established places seeking our trade.

The Whip, in Chicago, is making a strenuous effort to place Negroes in all of the lines of trade catering to Negroes in South Chicago. The same efforts could be made here, and in the other cities mentioned above. As a result of the Whip's combined efforts and publicity many colored employees have been placed in Chicago's Southside establishments. The chain grocery, drug stores and filling stations are employing more Negroes today than ever before.
Here in Washington, 127,600 Negroes can concentrate their purchasing power and secure positions in every store, shop and branch laundry office in the concentrated area.
The A. & P. grocery chain once employed a colored man in their store at Twelfth and U streets. He rendered service. Why can't this and other companies give employment to other colored men in this northwest section? The Tribune suggests that a committee be appointed from the Federated Civic Associations and the Baptist Ministers' Conference and other civic bodies, and formulate a program for securing more employment of Negroes in all the stores seeking Negro trade.
Such a program properly approached and worked out would surprise you in results. Money talks. Are you willing to combine your's with mine and see how loud we can make it talk here in Washington in the matter of getting more employment?

POPOVERS
Measure a cupful of flour and sift it three times. Measure again, using one cupful —exactly.
Add ½ teaspoonful salt and 1 teaspoonful sugar and sift again.
Butter muffin rings and set them in the oven to get hot. Oven temperature should be 375.
Drop into a mixing bowl one egg, both yellow and white, and one cupful of milk.
Beat until the egg is broken apart and somewhat blended with the milk.
Add the flour mixture and beat briskly till smooth and perfectly blended.
Drop a large spoonful into each muffin ring (which is piping hot from being in the oven) and bake till delicately browned. It is important that the rings be hot when the dough is dropped in and that the baking be done instantly after the duogh has dropped in.
The baking will take about 25 minutes.
Serve the popovers at once while they are crisp and hot.
"BUTTERCUP GOLD"
Dear Editor: I do not write stories myself, but I am interested in good stories. My family and I are African Methodists, and we read "The Star of Zion" which has a "Youth's Corner" in it. I would like for you to publish the following story by Emma Florence Bush which appeared in a recent issue of the Star. The name of the story is "Buttercup Gold." It is a very very good story, I think, and I am sure the other Tribunites will like it.
"Sara Maud sat on the doorstep, and chin in hand, gazed at the blue sky which stretched as far as she could see.
"Sara Maud was thinking very hard indeed. Next Monday was her mother's birthday; and she did want to give her a nice present, but when a little girl had only five cents what could she do? If she lived in the city perhaps she could have earned some, but here on the farm there was no way.
"Sara Maud took her eyes from the sky and fixed them on the road that lay in front of her. Down the road came a big, shiny automobile, but it wasn't going fast as most of them did; no, it was moving very, very slowly. As it came nearer Sara Maud saw there were two people in it, a gentleman and a lady. The car stopped in front of her and the gentleman got out. "May I telephone to a garage" he asked. 'Something is the matter with the car and I cannot drive it any further.' "Sara Maud shook her head. 'We haven't a telephone,' she said. 'There's one half a mile down the road.' "I'll have to walk, but you can stay here,' the gentleman said to the lady. 'I don't dare drive the car any longer. I'll be as quick as I can.'
"Sally Jane came out of the house and joined Sara Maud on the doorstep. She, too, wanted to buy their mother a present, but Sally Jane was younger and things didn't worry her so much. The lady smiled at them brightly.
"What a lovely place this is!' she said.
"Sara Maud took her eyes off the shiny car to look at the lady sitting in it.
"We haven't anything,' she said, 'not even a garden.'
"But you have a mother,' smiled the lady, as she looked through the window at their mother moving around the kitchen, 'and where a mother is, is always just the nicest place in the world.'
"Sara Maud turned to look, too. Yes, they had mother—poor mother, who ever since father had been so sick had run the farm and the home and taken care of them all. Father was almost well now and soon could work again, but that was why there as no garden and no money for mother's present.
"The lady left the car and came and sat on the door-step with them, and before thy knew it Sara Maud and Sally Jane had told her the whole story. The lady smiled and hugged them to her.
"Suddenly her eyes rested on the meadow across from them, gay and golden with dancing buttercup blossoms.
"Buttercup gold,' she said softly. 'Oh, how I want some of them to take home with me.'
"Buttercupups?' gasped Sara Maud. 'Why, there are hundreds of them everywhere.'
"But not in the city," said the lady. 'Once I was a little girl and lived with my sister on a lonely farm, too. The buttercups bring it all back. I remember how she used to hold them under my chin to see if I loved butter. Oh, do let's pick some! and almost before they knew it Sara Maud and Sally Jane were with her in the middle of the meadow, picking and picking the golden flowers and making great bunches of them.
"She was such a friendly lady that the little girls felt they had known her always. She told them stories about the fairies that lived in the meadow flowers, and the gentle little breezes, and Sara Maud and Sally Jane listened and laughed and picked buttercups. Before they knew it as they looked down the road there was the garage man in his car and the gentleman, too, and all too soon the shiny big car was towed away and with it the lovely lady.
"But Sara Maud and Sally Jane
THE LETTER BOX
SCORES TRAINING BOYS AND GIRLS FOR OFFICE WORK Editor.
Editor:
The Washington Tribune.
The Washington Triune,
Despite the fact that the field for colored persons in stenography, typewriting, and office work is so overcrowded that starvation wages prevail among those who possess no other means of livelihood, our schools continue to train pupils in this particular line of endeavor. Finding the door of opportunity closed, these unfortunate youngsters are obliged to seek employment with colored concerns, where they are soon disillusioned as to the desirability of "white-collar" jobs.
The average colored business high school graduate qualified to perform high-grade stenographic or clerical duties must accept less pay from his colored employer than the most ignorant shop girl in the Five and Ten cent store would consider.
A survey of salary scales in our local colored business enterprises would be a revelation to those who advocate expanding the business courses in our schools. The miserable pittance of $12, with small prospect of advancement, is the average weekly wage paid to its office help by one of our largest and most prosperous business concerns. When colored employers pay sweat-shop wages (and it is impossible to secure employment elsewhere) should we not hesitate to continue training our children for office positions?

A MOTHER COMPLIMENTS
OUR JUVENILE SECTION
The Younger Folks' Realm,
C. Leslie Frazier, Editor,
Dear Editor:
I was very much pleased to see the poem contributed by Elizabeth Carter. Beside being very good this poem ought to inspire and encourage many others of our younger folk.
Some time ago I tried to interest my children in the Junior Post, but without results. Shortly afterwards their school teacher asked them to bring the Junior Post to school for discussion.
Since that time their interest has been unfailing. For some time I have been trying to interest them in The Tribune's Younger Folks' Realm, and have not succeeded.
The Younger Folks' Realm is certainly worth while and cannot succeed unless our children support it.
Since it seems that the class room is the place where such interests are born, I am hoping that our teachers will take note of this Junior Division and have the children bring The Younger Folks' Realm to school for discussion, if not exclusively, at least in connection with other similar departments. Mrs. L. M. Logan, (A Parent) 139 S St., N.W. were looking at two bright, shiny half-dollars, one in each little girl's hand, to pay for the buttercups, the lady had said.
"And this was not all. Every week the lovely lady was coming for more buttercups, and when they were gone there would be goldenrod and asters, and then the bright-colored leaves. Why, there would be enough money for mother and father to have lots of presents, and shoes for school, and oh, so many things! Sara Maud felt as if each golden buttercup dancing in the meadow had turned to a piece of shining gold, and as she raced toward the house with Sally Jane, to put the money safely away, she whispered over and over to herself just what the lady had said, 'Buttercup gold! Buttercup gold!'
NINE PARTS OF SPEECH
Dear Editor: I have been reading the Tribune about three months or more. I have found it a very interesting paper for both young and old. I am sending you a poem which I wrote, "The Nine Parts of Speech."
Three little words we often see Are articles a, an and the.
A noun is the name of anything As: house, yard, stick or swing.
Adjectives tells the kind of noun, As: great, small, white or brown.
In place of the noun the pronoun stands.
As: "her" face, "your" arm, and "my" hands.
Verb tells of something to be done, As: hop, skip, jump or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell
As: slowly, quickly, ill or well.
Conjunctions join the words together.
As: men "and" women, wind "or" weather.
Preposition stands before
A noun, as: "at" "on" "through"
the door.
The interjection shows surprise,
As: Ah! how pretty: Oh! how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking,
teach.
