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? HAMPTON'S CHOIR MAY GO ABROAD HAMPTON, Va.—Dr. R.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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. ANNOUNCEMENT The Bellada Boarding School is now open to receive pupils whose parents work out. Apply to Miss R. E.

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.

Phenix addressed the entire body of Hampton workers in Clarke Hall at the opening of the term.

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 Members of the church school choir of Galbraith A.M.E.

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. Vesper service on Sunday, September 29, at 4 p.m. will be given by a group from the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Mr. James Jackson, leader. The Business and Industrial department is planning many activities for its club members. PETER GEORGIA BANKER CAPT. A. T.

Modern 6 Room Home CITY SCHOOLS OPEN WITH RECORD ENROLLMENT LARGEST INCREASE MADE AT MINER NORMAL SCHOOL 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. Last year only 424 pupils enrolled on the opening day. Only 30 more new pupils will be permitted to enroll this year, the first year class being limited to 150 pupils. 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 enrollment at the Armstoring High School on the first day was 965 pupils, an increase of 9 over last year. Dunbar reported a decreased enrollment, 1,170 pupils entering school on the first day as compared with an enrollment of 1,365 on the opening day last year. The Cardozo High School had an enrollment of 223 pupils on the first day as against 190 last year.

The twelfth division enrolled 231 pupils, an increase of 15 over last year. 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.

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.

At the time of his death about a month ago, he had been retired from active school work for approximately five years. PERSONALS Mr. Robert G. Wesley, of 1610 Church street, northwest, returned to the city after several weeks' stay in New Jersey. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Smith, formerly of this city, but now of New Jersey, were grieved to learn of the passing of their second eldest child, a promising young son. Mrs. Smith, formerly Evelyn Barker, is a member of an old and well-known family of the city. Mrs. Letitia T. Lewis, of 1606 Montello avenue, northeast, accompanied by Mrs. Fannie Burrell, motored to Raleigh, N.C., where they were guests of their sister and husband, Prof. and Mrs. J. W. Holmes. Mrs. Holmes was formerly Miss Eva Burrell, of this city. Mrs. Harriet Gilliam Dixon returned to the city to resume her duties in the public schools after a pleasant stay in New York City Dr. Copeland Says: Drink Plenty of Milk DR. ROYAL S. COPELAND, U. S. Senator and former Commissioner of Health of New York City, says: "Milk will satisfy your thirst and also it will supply you with the nourishment your system requires. It is one of the most nearly perfect foods."

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. Interest was shown in this event because it decided the champion for the four months past. More than 20 entrants had thinned down to five finalists last week, namely: James Brown, William Herndon, who won second place; James Mahorney, who placed third; "Timmy" Childs, who forfeited because of his absence the final day, and Charles Lomacks.

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. 44 15 27 Score by innings: Georgetown A.C. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 01-1 Black Sow. 8 0 3 3 1 0 0 6-x-15 Georgetown A. B. I.

With a formidable squad already at work together with a group of likely looking new talent expected to report, the prospects of a powerful team is bright. The squad is practicing every evening. 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. Winter Membership Campaign Begun by Boys' Department Lee W. Johnson, boys' secretary, and his assistant, Daniel B. Taylor, announced the beginning of the winter season of the boys' department of the Y.M.C.A. 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. These summer memberships expire October I, it is learned. They also proposed to permit thirty days in paying for memberships and the giving of honorary badges for those bringing in members. Mrs. Elfrieda K. Taylor Files Divorce Suit (Continued from page 1) she was forced to resume substitute teaching at a salary of $1,400 in order to support herself. That her husband refused to give her any money whatever. 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. $30 a Day Mrs. Taylor alleges that he was purchasing the home where they lived, but told her that he had stopped paying on it so that she would have no dower rights or interest in it. However, she alleges that he is possessed of great wealth in stocks and bonds, mortgages and diamonds which are kept in a safe deposit, the location of which is unknown to her. She also alleges that he has valuable real estate in Carolina County, Va., and a Stearns-Knight automobile. That his income is $30 per day. She asks the court for alimony pending the hearing of the plea and for permanent alimony and cost of court and attorney's fees. She is represented by white attorneys, Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield. Dr. Taylor is one of the leading physicians and surgeons in the city. He is a member of the Freedmen's Hospital staff. He is also clinical instructor in the Howard University medical school. "Fried," replied the captain of the ship in distress. "Y" BOYS HOLD BIG SWIMMING MEET The biggest swimming meet of the season closed the summer swimming season last Wednesday, and also marked the opening of the winter season at the Y.M.C.A.

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.

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.

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.

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. M. Sergeant 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. Rosetta Marei Bell (15) Rock Point, Md. WELL KNOWN LOCAL LAWYER DEAD ```markdown ``` LATE JUDGE E. M.
