Notices for the meeting stated that one of its purposes was the discussion of the depreciation of property values due to the inflow of colored residents. These notices were mailed to members of the organization. Only a few persons were in attendance at the meeting. In opening the meeting the president of the Columbia Heights Civic Forum read a communication from the Community Center Department of the public schools stating that school buildings are (Continued on page 3) FED. CIVIC ASSO JOINS DRIVE FOR MORE JOBS HERE Will Make Fight for Concrete Stadium At Dunbar Here Appreciation of the civic service of the late Dr. Charles H. Marshall, a former member of the Board of Education, was expressed, Friday night, at the meeting of the Federated Civic Associations, in the board room of the District Building in a resolution offered by John A. Bowles and personal tributes by Dr. George H. Richardson, president of the association, and Rev. C. A. DeVaughn. A committee was appointed to co-operate with the Y.M.C.A. in its program to develop increased employment of the Negro in the District of Columbia. The members of the committee are J. A. G. LuValle, J. H. Baddy and J. C. Payne. The twenty associations forming the federation were invited to make a survey of recreational facilities and lack of facilities in their respective territory and report at the next meeting. A recommendation from the Federation to the Board of Education asks for a $25,000 supplementary fund to the $75,000 appropriation for the erection of a concrete stadium for Dunbar High School, with brick enclosing walls. This is to be presented in the first urgent deficiency bill to Congress. A letter was read from J. B. Gordon, sanitary engineer, stating that the preliminary work necessary for the extension of the Stick-foot storm sewer in Anacostia had been completed and that the proposed sewer would be advertised for contract at an early date. The People's Civic Association for Potomac Park was admitted to membership on motion of John E. Bowles. It named as delegates to the Federation, Robert Tyler, George W. Jones, A. L. Avant, Rev. C. A. Deyvaugh, and Mrs. Mae J. Richardson. J. H. Baddy offered a resolution asking that more of the history of the Negro be taught in the public schools. This was referred to the committee on education, of which W. H. Lewis is chairman. VA. PASTOR SPEAKS HERE The Rev. Dr. Walter H.

Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch. The meeting was addressed by J. A. Jackson, of the Commerce Department, who told of what was being done in other cities to increase employment of colored people and enhance their economic status. He said that less than 3 per cent of Negroes are in the merchandizing trades, which is the fundamental basis of all progress. He also stated that we need to sell ourselves to ourselves. He emphasized the program sponsored by the Whip in Chicago in securing the rights of Negroes in existing business houses on the Southside. During the past four months more than 300 Negroes not to be used for meetings to create unrest or against any race. REV. E. C. SMITH ON H. U. FACULTY Rev. E. C. S. Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has been recently appointed part time instructor at Howard University in the School of Religion. Friends are congratulating Rev. Smith upon his appointment, and hope that this connection will prove profitable both to him and the university. Mrs. Viola Beasley had her arm broken in an automobile accident while returning from her home in North Carolina. She had been visiting her father for ten days. She is now in Freedmen's Hospital. ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The trial of Robert Jack Skelton for the murder of Vera Carter here on February 28, 1926, resulted in a hung jury here this week. He will be held over and tried again at the October term of court. Miss Carter was shot in the temple and lived three months after the shooting. Skelton made his escape and was not apprehended until last May. The grand jury found a bill against him and the trial came up Tuesday. His defense was that it was an accident and that Miss Carter died from tuberculosis and not from the gun shot wound. He was represented by Collins and Smith. The shooting created quite a sensation as both parties were well-known and a deal of interest was manifested in the trial.

WHITES OBJECT TO SENDING CHILDREN TO MONROE SCHOOL Effort Made to Conceal Real Reason for Making Protest The secret of the flare up between the Park View and Monroe School patrons was let out at the School Board meeting, Wednesday, when a Board member asked the Park View protesting patrons, "Is it the Park View School or the platoon system you are in love with?" They answered, "The platoon system." Then she asked "If Monroe was made a platoon school would you object to sending your children there?" That struck the bull's eye and the answer was unmistakably one of the color line. "Yes, we would object to sending them there because they would have to cross Georgia avenue and the surroundings of the Monroe School is not the best." "The Monroe School is located on Hatters and Girard streets between Georgia avenue and Sherman avenue, and every home around the school is occupied by colored citizens; therefore, "the surroundings of Monroe School is not the best." Hush Race Issue This same man, Alfred B. Hanneman, stated later that he and his associates had been tricked by a member of the School Board. "He told us that if we did not mention the race issue we would probably get what we wanted," he said. Mr. Ely, supervising principal in charge of both schools, in a letter to Mr. Heacock, assistant superintendent in charge of elementary schools, places the blame for the trouble on the encroaching colored population on the Monroe area. He said: "With the Bruce School one square north, growing year by year, and with colored people in every square about Monroe, west of Georgia avenue, we will have to admit unfortunately that the Monroe area is gone." He said. "The key to the falling memberships at Monroe is shown by the necessary extension of the Bruce School from eight to sixteen rooms two years ago. SEEK TO RAISE $6,000 FOR S.E. WELFARE HOUSE SEEK TO RAISE $6,000 FOR S.E. WELFARE HOUSE Beginning Tuesday, October 1, Dr. Dorothy C. Boulding, chairman of the Washington Welfare Association, 301 G street, southeast, launched a campaign which will continue until Wednesday, October 16, when she hopes to count $6,000 subscribed for this worthy effort in Southeast Washington. The program included a block party last Tuesday night, but the rain delayed that, and it will be given next Tuesday night in the 300 block of G street, southeast. Beginning last April with the object of establishing a day nursery in the southeast, the idea has grown into a welfare association, and is yet expanding. It soon became evident that a day nursery, the badly needed, would not meet all of the needs for this section and the city at large. The program now includes a nursery for each section of the city, as well as other activities. Six-Room House Dr. Boulding states that a six- room house has been contracted for at 301 G street, southeast, across the street from the Giddings school Here she plans to have the day nursery, a soup kitchen for the children of Giddings School, to or- (Continued on page 2) "Y" MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN GETS UNDER WAY OCT.9 New Publicity Stunt Will Summon Non-Members To "Court" for Trial The membership campaign of the Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A., which is scheduled to begin October 9, and last until October 16, has been so well organized under the leadership of Attorney George E. C. Hayes as chairman, that Major Campbell C. Johnson, the executive secretary, has predicted the largest return in membership ever obtained at one time. At a meeting held last Tuesday night to the four Y. M. marshals, Leroy W. Thornton, Herbert E. Jones, John R. Pinkett, and Dr. W. O. Claytor, the organization was completed and plans made for the distribution of literature on the campaign. Friday night, when all duty marshals are to meet, the organization for the campaign is this year taking the unique role of court procedure. To all prospects whose names and addresses are available a complaint and summons is sent from the Y. M. C. A. Court of the District of Columbia setting out why the non-member should become a member of the institution and summoning him to appear to show cause why a marshal should not be sent to collect his membership fee. The personnel of the working group includes besides the marshals the following deputy marshals: J. Franklin Wilson, Joseph Carter, Dr. Roscoe Lee, Harry Reynolds, Clarence Carter, Joseph A. Green, Walter Carter, Simeon Cunningham, Charles E. Wesley, Louis M. Perkinson, Sigmund Heard, Hamilton Burnside. Each of these deputy marshals will have four assistants. G.U.O.OF O.F.TO SEEK MERGER OF SMALL LODGES G.U.O.OF O.F.TO SEEK MERGER OF SMALL LODGES The District Grand Lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, No. 20, met Monday night at the Metropolitan Baptist Church with Grand Master Wm. M. Edwards presiding. One of the features of the new program is to merge the 32 local lodges into about 15, and thereby save money for the Order and make the local lodges more formidable. Group insurance for the local lodges was discussed after having been presented by William Stevenson, representing the Supreme Liberty Life. Thos. H. Wright offered the resolution for group insurance. The Rev. Smith, pastor of the church, made an impressive talk on "Making Advantage of Handicaps and Unity." The Grand Lodge will lay the corner stone for Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P streets, northwest, on Sunday afternoon, October 27. A publicity committee was appointed composed of Captain Sylvester H. Epps and Thos. H. Wright. A CORRECTION The article appearing in our issue of August 9, in which the Tribune stated: "a persistent rumor tempted her life because her 'number' failed to come out." Another has it as the result of a love affair about which our reporter had no knowledge of his own, and which rumor we learn since was untrue. Apology is therefore made herein for the appearance of this statement. Wills of Dr. Edw. Williston, Dr. Chas. H. Marshall, and Atty. E. M. Hewlett, Filed KY. CONFERENCE VOTES 55-1 FOR ORGANIC UNION Bishop Jones' Speech Turns Tide In Favor of Merging A.M.E. and A.M.E.Z. LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After a heated two-hour debate, participated in by three bishops, one presiding elder, and a half dozen ministers, the A.M.E. Zion Conference meeting in Louisville, Ky., by a vote of 65 to 1, declared for the organic union of the A.M.E. and A.M.E.Zion Churches. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of Washington, called upon Senior Bishop J. S. Caldwell to preside Thursday afternoon. Bishop George C. Clement stated that after the annual conferences have adopted organic union, it will be submitted to the various churches. The eighteen A.M.E. and twelve A.M.E. Zion bishops will remain and there will be 30 Episcopal districts. For eight years there will be eight A.M.E. general officers and eight A.M.E. Zion general officers. A two-thirds vote will be necessary to elect a bishop. Over Million Members The minority will thus have protection. There are 6,000,000 in the A.M.E. and 450,000 in the A.M.E. Zion Church. Bishop Clement said in conclusion, "There is not a single first-class hospital or theological seminary owned, operated, supported and financed entirely by Negroes. The only first-class hospitals Negroes have access to are supported by charity, by the city, or by the Government. Schools Into Hospitals If the A.M.E. and A.M.E. Zion Churches unite, they could turn some of their schools into first-class hospitals, and homes for superannuated ministers. If the two great branches of Negro Methodism do not unite, some of our schools will close automatically.

TWO NO.4 ENGINE CO. TIED FOR SECOND PLACE IN CONTEST Considering Age of Equipment, Time Considered Remarkable Number 4 Truck Company of the District Fire Department, headed by Captain J. G. B. Key tied with two other companies, Saturday, for second place in the speed contest staged last week by the fire department. The real thrill of the day was supplied by three engine companies of the downtown district which tied in seven seconds flat for clearing their quarters on a fire alarm. These were numbers 4, 14, and 2. Each company of the District was visited, the distance of 29 feet was carefully taped off, the men were placed 14 feet away from the truck and at the sound of the gong they sprang to their places on the truck. Some of the crews elected to crank their engines instead of trusting the self-starter. In H. D. Shepard, No. 4 truck company had a master hand at the crank and F. F. Avidgo did the driving. Except for an unfortunate incident, No. 4 Engine Company might have had a chance to pluck the laurels in the opinion of the judges. They furnished the thrill of the day. Engine Balks At the sound of the gong J. R. Bush leaped for the crank and in one mighty spin had the motor going. In the twinkle of a second command, "Go," driver J. M. Carter threw in the clutch and the apparatus gave a forward leap. Then without warning it slowed down as the hood passed the sill, but picked up again with a spurt. In the matter of seconds Carter had to throw the motor into second gear and in doing so lost that bare fraction of seconds which prevented a better time than 7 seconds. Captain Key took his disappointment like a real sport. He and his men had practiced diligently and claimed to have made the run in 6 2-5 seconds earlier in the day. Considering this appartus to be one of the oldest in the Fire Department, the men of No. 4 were declared by Chief O'Connor to have done a remarkably good job. Civic Forum Disregards Orders of School Board (Continued from page 1) sect or creed, or for teachings contrary to the American spirit. Reads Editorial The president also read an editorial from the Columbia Heights community paper declaring that no question of segregation is involved in the desire to keep the neighborhood lily-white, but that it is an economic question involving the depreciation of property values as soon as colored residents move into a block. The buying of property by colored persons in that vicinity and their moving into that section were described as an invasion. Colored people were referred to as a menace. They were sometimes called "blacks." One man referred to them as "darkies." The chairman of the committee on real estate told what the association had done against the so-called invasion. He said he had gone around trying to get people to sign restrictive covenants against the sale of property to or its occupancy by colored persons. He said he had had difficulty in convincing property owners that residential segregation is public-spirited and that white residents were not interested enough to sign such covenants. Values Go Down He said that the average depreciation of property values as soon as colored persons move into a block is about 25 per cent. He named the following blocks as being safe from invasion: Euclid street from Eleventh to Fourteenth streets, Clifton street from Eleventh to Fourteenth streets, and Columbia road from Thirteenth to Fourteenth streets. He conceded the right of the colored person to live wherever the white person sold him. He admitted frankly that their backs were against the wall, that there was nothing he could do. He asked for suggestions of means to head off the invasion. He concluded by saying that the tide has swept over them. "Cheap White People" The next speaker presented a pitiable figure of the effects of race prejudice on those who harbor it. He lives in the 1000 block of Park road, in which there are no colored residents at present. On account of ill health he is forced to sell his property. He said he listed it for sale with three white dealers, who told him they could not sell it to any white person for full value because of the nearness of colored people who are living in Lamont and Morton streets. The best offer that he could get from cheap white people who would turn his home into a rooming house, he said, was $8,000 or $9,000. A colored real estate agent had been to see him with two clients. They had gone through his house three times, he said, the last time planning where they would put the furniture. They offered him $12,500 for the house, but he turned it down because they would not wait a week for him to decide whether USED CAR SALE 30 LATE 30 MODELS CHEVROLETS and FORDS 1929-1928-1927 MODELS ALL TYPES WHICH WE MUST SELL TO MAKE ROOM Come in and see them today or call for demonstration BARGAINS $35 Up R. L. Taylor Motor Co. TWO SHOWROOMS 14th AND T STREETS, N.W. North 9600 AND 1711 14th STREET, N.W. North 9600 Open Evenings to sell to them. He had gone to see his neighbors and offered them his property, but they would not buy. The man was almost in tears as he told his story of unwillingness to sell to colored persons and inability to sell to whites. Sells at Loss Another speaker told how residents in a block on Euclid street had bought a house, remodeled it and sold it at a loss in order to keep the property from being sold to colored persons. The house was resold for $200 less than the residents had bought it for. The discussion then turned to the subject of how to save those blocks that were all-white. The president told the of the plans of a committee to go to Congress seeking legislation to the effect that the sale of property to colored persons in a block that is all-white shall he exclaimed, "I wouldn't sell to a white person in a block that is all-colored shall likewise be invalid. Another speaker told of the number of real estate agents who are going around in the vicinity advising property owners to sell to colored persons first in order to get more money for their homes. The blacklisting of real estate agents who are going into white blocks to get property to sell to colored persons was advocated. The next speaker was afraid to use the word "colored." He said "other people," "others," or "menace." Once when he got excited, he xclaimed, "I wouldn't sell to a darky." His plan is to go to all the large businesses in Fourteenth street in that vicinity and get contributions for the purpose of having paid solicitors to go around seeking signatures to restrictive covenants. He also advocates more publicity in order to educate public sentiment in favor of restrictive covenants. The Man Jabbers The next speaker was asinine. He asked if the white property owners ever stopped to think of what is behind "all this invasion." He said it was the presence of Howard University and the Miner Normal School. He did not understand why there are more than 400 students in the Miner Normal School and only 200 in the Wilson Normal (white). He asked what does Howard University do with the three-quarters of a million dollars appropriations it gets annually from Congress. He expressed the belief that the money is used to recruit colored people to move into white neighborhoods. Another plan suggested for stopping the so-called invasion was to talk it over with members of Congress from the South who would be sympathetic. Senator Cole Blease was named. The reason for seeking legislation in the opinion expressed by a speaker that if the question of the legality of restrictive covenants should be pressed hard enough, the courts would hold them to be illegal under the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. Plans Laid to Increase Race's Employment (Continued from page 1) have been placed directly by The Whip, through an employment bureau and over 200 indirectly. To Make Survey A resolution was passed to ask the Labor Department of the Government to make a survey of the District with the view of the possible increased employment of Negroes. The committee appointed to visit the Labor Department is composed of R. N. Mattingly, principal of the Cardozo Business High School, Dean Kelly Miller and Miss Mary Cromwell. Plans for publicity were discussed and a committee was appointed of handle that phase of the program. It is composed of C. M. Thomas, of Armstrong High School; J. A. G. LuValle, of The Tribune, and Miss Sadie Daniels, Mr. Johnson outlined several divisions to be surveyed wherein increased employment may be found. They are, the District Government, public utilities corporations, chain stores, and laundries. Independent merchants and the various institutions of the District like the hospitals, etc. Organizations Co-operate The Federated Civic Associations appointed a committee last Friday night to co-operate with Mr. Johnson's program. This committee is composed of J. A. G. LuValle, J. C. Payne, and J. H. Baddy. The Baptist Ministers Conference has the subject under consideration and President Holloman may appoint a committee on next Monday to co-operate with the Y. M.C.A. program. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 42 FRESHMEN TO ENTERFREEDMEN'S 42 FRESHMEN TO ENTERFREEDMEN'S Forty-two freshman nurses representing practically every state in the country will be admitted to Freedmen's Hospital this fall. The graduation of 22 senior nurses necessitates the employment of 10 graduate nurses for night duty for four months. They are Mrs. Pauline Curtis, Miss Eva D. Felton, Miss Josephine J. Lightfoot, all of Washington; Mrs. Cailie S. Harris, Baltimore; Mrs. Irene D. Felton, Salem, Va.; Mrs. Jannie L. Lumpkins, Montgomery, Ala.; Miss Lillian E. Mosely, Macon, Ga.; Miss Harriette A. Neely, Dayton, O.; Miss Ella L. Warwick, Alabama. All are graduates of Freedmen's except Miss Lumpkins and Mrs. Felton. Changes Made Several changes have been made in the personnel of the nurses. Miss Eveana Dailey has been appointed to the main operating room, Miss Alice Wiggins will be in charge of the orthopedics ward, Miss Ailene Carrington will be in charge of the children's ward, Mrs. Georgia Battle will be in charge of the medical ward, Miss Lucille Yeatman, maternity service; Miss Inez Turner, genito-urinary ward; Miss Inez Bruce, surgical ward. New Freshman Rule 2 interesting dates for freshman nurses in the Training School are necessary to maintain the standard. This rule takes effect October 15. Internes that went out are Drs.

Barry, Cephas, Mance, Dibble, Downing, Porter, Gunthrope, Kelly, H. S. Martin, Ollivierre, Charles Cobb, Sayers, and Thompson. Seeks to Raise $6,000 for Southeast Welfare House (Continued from page 1) organize a boy scout troop, to have Girl Reserves clubs to be affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. recreational clubs, with supervised play and study; adult clubs, of interest groups and mother activity; hygiene clubs for better bodies, and a clinic. The five reasons assigned by Dr. Boulding for the need of the Washington Welfare Association are: Washington has no Negro community house, children of working mothers are left uncared for all day, there is little or no opportunity for normal recreation for our children; proper recreation, and proper care means less delinquency among Negro children. And these are problems. Will you help us meet them? There are more than 20 solicitors working in this campaign and they hope to go over the top before Wednesday, the 16th. Prominently identified with this movement are Miss Lyda Birkin of Friendship House; Mrs. Sarah Gray, principal of Giddings School; Campbell C. Johnson, of the Y. M. C. A.; R. E. Johnson, truant officer; Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson; Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Mrs. Mordecai W. Johnson, Mrs. Madge Cuney, Dr. A. Hilyer, Mrs. Dwight Holmes, Dr. Eva Board, Rev. J. W. Mitchell, J. H. Cole, T. H. Lloyd, Blanche Hudson, Alma Scott, Marita Bonner, Estrelda Spratlin, Mae Thomas and Dr. Dorothy C. Boulding. Wills of Drs. Williston, Marshall, Hewlett Filed (Continued from page 1) married.

Thirteen was his lucky number, for he had as many rides. Through an original "auto-suggestion" he attracted passenger motors. As a car approached he would stand aside, doff his hat and smile. Thirteen times the suggestion worked, though many more times it failed. Nine Days It required nine days to make the trip, walking on an average of twenty-five miles a day. Some days he was lucky enough to get a lift in the morning. At other times one no picked him up until late in the afternoon. All the while he was trudging northward, saying to himself, "Washington or bust!" To most of the people he told his story only in part, namely, that he was going to Washington to work, while to others he admitted that he was going to work his way through college. He said that he was afraid that his ambition might defeat the purpose for which he had hailed the passing car. Kentucky Conference Votes for Union (Continued from Page 1) "The signs of the times are cooperation, federation, reorganization and unification. There is no overplus of qualified men coming into the Negro ministry now." Bishop Jones Turns Tide Rev. C. H. Waters was asked, "Was the Board of A.M.E. Zion Bishops favorable to Organic Union?" Bishop Walls said in reply that his idea was not to oppose Organic Union but to go at it practically and safely. He said that the matter should be thoroughly discussed. Bishop E. D. W. Jones made an eloquent speech favoring organic union, which turned the tide. By a vote of 55 to 1, the Kentucky Conference went on record as favoring Organic Union.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Bishop E. D. W. Jones said Monday morning, at the Kentucky A.M.E. Zion Conference. "President Hoover may be all right on the Negro question. While he has not been in office very long, we too are hopeful that time will prove it. "In this connection, leading Negroes should stop besieging the White House for appointments for Negroes. The big offices in the Government are never given for the asking. They are given for merit and service.' If the President cannot see this new loyal Negro American, this new Negro citizen, it will not retard or affect this new progress." Mrs. A.

When I went to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardul, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds. "I would advise any person who is nervous, weak and in a run-down condition to take Cardul, for I am sure it will do them good. "After taking the Cardul, I am not nervous any more, and I am in the best of health." I am in the best of health."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 PLANNING THE SCHOOL LUNCH By Winifredre Thurlow Director of the Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Company The school lunch is perhaps the most difficult meal of the day for a mother to plan since many foods may not be packed and carried satisfactorily while others do not keep well enough to be at their best when the noon hour arrives. Fortunately, many schools have taken note of this fact and are now serving a soup or other hot foods for a very nominal price during the lunch hour. Granting that the school lunch ranks equal in importance to the other meals, let us consider the types of foods which should be used. First of all, there should be some protein or building food. Milk, eggs, meat or fowl, cottage cheese, and fish, are building foods, any one of which might be included in the luncheon menu. Then there is the group of foods which furnishes energy, embracing butter, starchy foods such as breads, sweets and cereals. This group must always be represented in the school lunch. The regulating foods, fruit, vegetables, and milk, are essential as are also those foods which stimulate growth and promote health. These are oranges, spinach, tomatoes, milk, carrots, cabbage, and lemons. The following list will suggest some ways of preparing thes, foods for the lunch box. Milk—raw milk, cocoa, milk soups. Eggs—hard cooked, egg sandwiches, egg salads. Fish and meat sandwiches, simple salad. Chicken sandwiches. Cottage cheese balls, sandwiches, salad. Butter sandwiches. THANK YOU! We thank you for your enthusiastic acceptance of the FOOD PAGE. We hope that you will continue to co-operate with Miss Thurlow, so that the cooking school can get under way immediately. CONTINUE TO WRITE PLEASE Washington Tribune Phone Potomac 4000 for Service Bread, at least one day old, rye, graham, or whole wheat used often instead of white. Sweets—plain cakes, cookies, gingerbread, simple custards and puddings, gelatine desserts, pure hard candies in small amounts. Fruit—fresh apple, plums, baked apple, orange, banana, peach, dried raisins, dates, figs, prunes. Canned any kind. Spinach salad. Tomatoes—salad, sandwiches. Carrots—salad, sandwiches. Cabbage sanwiches. Lemons—beverages. Suggested menus for school lunches Sandwich of brown bread and ground chicken or meat, moistened with salad dressing. Grated carrot and celery sandwich. Apples. Sponge cakes. Milk. Chopped egg sandwich. Brown bread and butter. Cooked prunes filled with cottage cheese. Milk. Cookies. Ground carrot and peanut sandwich. Cottage cheese and jelly sandwich. Cup custard. Cocoa. Nut bread and butter. Egg and tomato salad. Stewed apricots, (dried). Few pieces of candy. Milk. Peanut butter sandwich. Chopped cabbage sandwich. Baked apple. Cake. Cocoa. Sliced meat sandwich. Cooked spinach and egg salad. Ripe banana. Gingerbread. Milk. The type of lunch box used has a great deal to do with the success of lunches. Those which can be kept perfectly sanitary by giving them a daily scalding are most satisfactory. The appeal which a lunch should have depends to a great extent on the way in which it is packed. The most perfect lunch will usually be discarded by a child if the lunch box presents a careless, untidy appearance because the food was packed in "just any way." A supply of waxed paper and paper napkins YOU! --- Foods will make it possible to pack an attractive lunch. Moist foods should be put into a jelly glass or other receptacle having a tight-fitting lid. Many lunches are failures because of the constant repetition of the same foods from day to day. It is a simple matter to make lunches appetizing by giving a little thought to the menus and varying them each day—and nothing gives a child greater pleasure than to find a surprise in the lunch box now and then.

A dry skin peels, flakes, and chaps noticeably. The normal skin keeps a nice balance, sheds the dead cells imperceptibly, and while properly lubricated, does not exude oil in excess. In the oily skin, the pores are relaxed and the oil ducts much too active. As a general rule, a dry skin which has been allowed to become coarse, owes the loss of its beautiful texture to weathering. This skin needs the gentlest and at the same time the most thorough cleansing. It needs overnight creams, and in the daytime lotions and fine, pure powders to protect it from cold and wind. The most difficult problem is to apply special preparations to refine the pores which will not be too harsh and drying for this sensitive skin. Practically all astringents and pore creams are drying, and if these preparations are used, they should be alternated with oily tissue creams or with facial oils. Recently a well-known beauty specialist brought out a lotion which acts partly as a cleanser and partly as an agent to refine the pores of dry skins. This may solve the problem for many women. Those with oily skins have a much easier time. They may use skin tonics, astringents, and pore creams rather freely, and if these preparations tend to be drying, so much the better.

THURSTON Howard U. Gridders Leave Today For Battle With Hampton VERDELL PLEASED WITH CHARGES IN PRACTICE Coach Tom Verdell put his Bison charges through a tough scrimmage, Saturday, in the Howard University Stadium. The practice took the form of a real game with regular fifteen-minute quarters and assistant coaches acting as officials. Neither team could be regarded first or second as they were distinguished only by the color of their jerseys, one wearing blue and the other white. The best men on the squad were evenly divided as indicated by the score. A forward pass from Marshall to Mack over the goal line in the first quarter accounted for the only touch down. A trick pass for the extra point would have been good had Mack not been outside of the end zone. "Hike" Gordon, the freshman end who hitch-hiked from New Orleans to Howard, proved a sensation at left end for the whites. In the first quarter he threw Marshall for a twenty-yard loss in an attempt to get off pass. Scribby Adams, the all Main State half back from Hebron Academy, got through the blue line in the third quarter for a thirty-five-yard gain. Only a fumble on the blues' one-yard line prevented a white touchdown. The fourth quarter was featured by successive passes from Marshall to Mack, the game ending with the ball in the Blue's possession on the white's ten-yard line. Verdell's comment was that he was pleased with the scrimmage and noted many faults to be corrected before the opening game with Hampton. ORIENTALS WIN FROM COLESVILLE The Oriental Tigers defeated the Colesville, Md., Tigers by a score of 13 to 8. Sunday afternoon at the Bailey Stadium. The Maryland boys were leading in the fifth inning, 8-6, when Holmes was sent to the showers and Bailey took the mound. Bailey forced the first batter to fly to center and struck out the next two During the sixth "Smokeball" Frazier, who was pitching for out and the bases loaded with one out an dthe bases loaded and the score deadlocked 8 all. George Smith went in the box and "Red" Powell, first batter to face him, hit a line drive down the third base line which drove in two men. After this the entire team went on a hitting rampage and before "Lefty" George could retire the side seven runs were scored. On this Sunday the Orientals will meet the strong Sandy Spring Stars in a double header at Sandy Spring. The bus will leave Capital and P streets at noon. "Y" Indoor Season Starts Friday With Exhibition Preparation is being made at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A. for the annual fall opening in the gymnasium which will be held on Friday night.

HOWARD SQUAD HAS CONFIDENCE IN NEW COACH By Garland Mackey If Tom Verdell stays at Howard for four years and the coach has his way, I will bet a hat that the Hilltoppers will have the greatest team in the history of the Bisons. Already Verdell has what few coaches have ever been able to get, and that is complete confidence of the men. Tom Verdell I met the Howard coach Wednesday morning while he was carrying his men through their paces. He readily consented to leave his charges and give me a few minutes of his precious time. Time is at a premium because the men have had little time to train and the rain all week has prevented outdoor workouts. The new mentor is a pleasing chap, he is still in his twenties. I dare say. Tom is easy to talk to and readily answers all questions. Unlike most coaches he tells you exactly what he thinks and in addition to that he says why he thinks so. He is a well built chap with a ready smile. That smile has won the players as well as the student body. Fighting Odds Of course the game Saturday with Hampton is on the lips of all on the campus. Thirty men are out for the squad. Hampton has sixty. Verdell has an almost complete new team, while Hampton has seasoned warriors. However, this doesn't dampen the ardor of coach or men. All believe the Bisons are going to win that game. I have never seen such fighting spirit in a Howard team. "The men are green, but they can fight," said Verdell. They are willing to learn, and what more can I expect," he said. Hampton will know that it is an inspired team that will battle her Saturday, regardless of the winner. Men Learning New System Men Learning New System The new Warner System is rapidly being absorbed by the men. It is based on power and deception while most of the teams in this section of the country base they play on deception alone. Few old men are on the squad. One player has never seen a football. "He admitted it, but he has the heart and spirit and he will be given his chance," said Verdell. Leave Friday The boys leave Friday for the seashore. They are confident, but not too much so. I have confidence in Verdell and sincerely believe that he will make a great Howard team if given the time and proper co-operation. None of the old fraternity dissension is prevelent that shattered teams in former years. None of the men on the squad know what fraternity the other fellow belongs to. It will be a great game.

A touchdown by Brown and a place kick by Payne netted the Bisons' score. That was the year when the famous C.I.A.A. Miller was the cause of Howard being put out of the association. I remember Miller as a player on Union, and he was one of the greatest players of that year. Everybody is acquainted with the controversy between Howard and the association revolving around Miller.

Only two more are eligible to play, Shelton and Hawkins. The old stars, Dan Brown, Jack Coles, Jack Young, Harry Webb, Harry Payne, Simpson, Ewell and Hall, will be greatly missed. Hammers Off Whether Howard wins this first game or not, the Hilltoppers and the coach ought not to be censored. Remember Verdell has more raw material to whip into shape than any Howard coach ever had. And on the other hand Hampton has a team of seasoned players. Dissension and strife have played an important part in the showing the Howard teams have made within the last few years. With the proper spirit and co-operation we believe Verdell will place the Bison squad in the position it held in former years. Any way let's keep the hammers quiet until he has had a chance.

On Basketball Without a doubt Washington has more or as many basketball teams as any city in the country. I have had the pleasure of seeing many of the teams in action. I understand there will be some difficulty for the teams to find a place to play this year. Murray's Casino and the Lincoln Colonnade have banned the indoor sport. Efforts are being made to use the Masonic Temple. It will be nothing short of a calamity if a suitable place cannot be found. The "Y" court is small and could hardly hold the crowd that usually attends the games. Here's hoping the Masons will provide a court in their Temple. ubt Washington has more or as in the country.

Washington lovers of the game are acquainted with the Athenians as many of the local quints have played Wright's boys in Baltimore and here.

Coach Henderson Johnson will have working with him "Chief" Aiken, a graduate of Hampton, for five years coach of the Atlanta University team during which time he turned out two championship teams. There have already been forty men out for workouts. Eight of the letter men of last year have returned to school. Fisk plays five games at home, with Lincoln University of Missouri, Lane College, Morehouse College, Talladega College, and Howard University. The first game of the year is scheduled for October 5, at home with Lincoln' University of Missouri. FLORIDA NORMAL HARD...

That the officials must co-ordinate as thoroughly as the teams themselves was emphasized by Mr. Washington, who read to the officials some of the essentials in "Cooperation Among Officials." A most fraternal spirit among the officials, a thorough and ready knowledge of the rules, intense love for the sport itself and not mercenary motive, easy functioning with the least interference with the players, and being in the right place at the right time were some of the high points in the presentation. System of Semaphoring John Burr, of Howard University, gave an impressive demonstration of the newly proposed "Standardized Signals" by which the public will be kept informed of the major violations of the rules. A uniform system of semaphoring from the field will not only be welcome to the sideline coaches but will also acquaint the spectators with the nature of the violation as well as the penalty incurred. Fumbled Ball According to Mr. Westmoreland's version of the changes in the rules, all of which are of authentic origin, a fumbled ball by the offensive side cannot be recovered and advanced by that side after having been touched by an opponent. A further discussion of the changes in the rules will form a part of the weekly meetings during the months of October and November. At the meeting on October 1, at 512 T street, northwest, A. Kiger Savoy will present the topic, "Technique of Refereeing," while E. B. Henderson will discuss the "Technique of Umpiring." Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thousands of others say the same. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT For Constipation Al Monroe, sports editor of the Chicago Whip, rates this year's edition of the Baltimore Black Sox as being one of the best Negro teams of all times. He considers them capable of extending to the limit the Cubs or Athletics, the contending teams for the world's championship. Kansas City has won two games from the Houston Black Buffers in their first season's tilt. Eleven thousand fans viewed Sunday's game which was won by Kansas City, 3 to 2. Connie Rector, pitching ace of the Lincoln Giants, lost only one game on his home ground this year and that was to the Detroit Stars. Charlie Smith, rightfielder on the Lincoln Giants, was the leading batter in the American League with an average of .464. Smith connected for 23 home runs, 27 doubles, scored 82 runs, and had 14 outfield assists. W. Rollo Wilson, sports editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, rates Judy Johnson, of Hilldale, as the most valuable player of the year. The great Oscar Charleston, center fielder and first baseman of the Hilldale Club, finished the season with a batting average of .396. Charleston scored 70 runs, made 99 hits, had 227 putouts, 9 assists, made 13 errors, 9 sacrifice hits, stole 22 bases, made 24 two-base hits, five three-base hits, and seven home runs. L. E.

Rivalry between the two schools has been keen for a number of years. Dunbar and Armstrong will lock horns in their first game on November 25. Coach Charlie Penderhughes has been whipping the team in shape since school opened and so far is pleased with the results although rain has prevented outdoor practice all week. Sixty boys are out for the team with about 50 of last year's players working for positions. There are 11 letter men on the eleven. Other dates have not been selected, but gams are being arranged with Cardozo High, Bowie Normal, Bowie, Md.; Howard High, Wilmington; Manassas, Manassas, Va.; Huntington High, Newport News, Va., and a game with Jefferson High, Charlottesville, Va., is being booked. Armstrong will face practically the same teams as Dunbar. Over 40 candidates are working hard for a berth on the first squad. Coach Westmoreland has one of the largest squads that has ever answered the first call and indications point to a banner year at this school on the gridiron. FOOTBALL SCORES Lincoln, 12; St. Paul, 6.

MUSIC and SOUND Colored Actors Feature In "The Miracle Maker" NEW YORK.—Lou Goldberg, who produced several talking shorts with all-colored casts, "Harlem Cabaret," "Darktown Court," "Cafe for Whites," and "Billy Fowler's Band," has just finished his latest feature photoplay, "The Miracle Maker," featuring Salem Tutt Whitney, Sylvia Birdsmong, Alonza Tucker, and William Smith, with a large cast. "The Miracle Maker" will be released the latter part of October. MANY STARS IN 'DEVIL'S FOLLIES' MANY STARS IN 'DEVIL'S FOLLIES' "The Devil's Follies," a delightful presentation by Addison Carey and Charles Davis, is holding the boards at the Howard Theatre this week. Johnnie Virgal as the "Devil" and past master of ceremonies presents his impes who not only are clever artists, but they carry out the scheme (for the play has a plot) in a manner that is pleasing as well as amusing. It was Tuesday night when this reviewer saw the show. The dreadful weather cut into the attendance at this performance, but the lower floor was fairly well filled. The scenery is beautiful and I understand that Steve Smith, a Washington boy, makes the complete set each week. Steve was formelly with Irving Miller and is one of the best artists in the country. Winsome Doris Rheubottom is one of a cast of many stars that help to put the production over. Miss Rheubottom has a voice that is unusual for a show of this type. A delightful personality and clever acting place this young woman among the leading actors on the stage. The comedy is well taken care of by John Mason and Galli De Gaston. Mason plays the part of "Mose" and was a member of the "Jazz Regiment," a play that was a sensation last year in New York and many of the leading cities. Mr. DeGaston, as "Sam" makes this team a clever combination. Both are real funny, and really funny comedy is a rare thing these days of talkies. Jennie Dancer, Jackie Mabley, Clint and Marie, Jelly Smith, Red Tibbs, a Washington boy, and a chorus that is perfect makes this show one of the best seen here in some time.

TITLE "NIGGER RICH" CHANGED TITLE "NIGGER RICH" CHANGED NEW YORK—Following the requests from several colored organizations, the Shubert's latest Broadway productoin, "Nigger Rich," a comedy by John McGowan, which opened last week at the Royale Theatre, has changed its title, "Nigger Rich," to "The Big Shot."

Marine of Howard Theatre's "Hit the Deck," recently, made it plain to Freedmen's Hospital physicians that he was not acting the night he woke up in that institution's emergency room, and asked "What hit me?" According to the story told by the actor to Dr. Charles West, of the emergency staff, Mr. James was about to enter the Colonnade after leaving his home, of the 500 block of U street, northwest, when he suddenly felt a thud against his left forehead and slumped to the ground, senseless. He didn't know "whether he was hit, shot, or had suddenly died." Bystanders say, however, that a well-aimed brick had floored the comedian, tossed by a "little skinny fellow" who sped away without being seen by his victim, to whom the what and why is a mystery. However, four stitches sewed in his head by Dr. West made him feel himself again.

Practically every college admitting Negroes and all of the schools run for Negroes, report an unusually large enrollment this year, which is commendable. But, lack of this increased enrollment lies a very important question: "What are we going to do with the increased number of graduates?" The economic question looms up pretty large here. With decreasing employment for Negroes being reported from all sections of our country and a saturation point being reached in the larger cities for professional men and women; the colleges are confronted with a serious problem of what to do with their graduates. Colleges are manufacturing plants, so to speak, and the success of every manufacturing plant depends upon the proper distribution of its finished product. Graduates are the finished products of the colleges. Unless they are properly prepared and guided vocationally it will not be very long before we will have a menacing surplus of college graduates. There are too many college men already waiting table, porters on the Pullman cars, and in the barber shops.

We have professional men here in Washington on the verge of starvation because we have reached the saturation point for doctors, dentists, lawyers, and teachers. There are more than five hundred applicants for teaching on file with the Board of Education. Therefore, the colleges should gather information, on the possibilities for employment of its graduates and guide the students in their courses with the view of filling a given place or entering a given business. We are far behind in the fundamentals of business which is the foundation of every nation and all progress.

There is far too much crime and too many murders committed by Negroes in this city. The September grand jury returned only six indictments for murder—three of them against colored men and three against Chinamen. Not a single white person indicted for murder in September. Washington is rated as having the highest rate of literacy among Negroes in the United States. There are more college graduates here and more Negroes in the schools here than in any other city in this country, but education does not eliminate nor reduce crime and murder. There are more than 150 churches claiming more than 60,000 membership of the 127,600 Negro population, which is a very high per cent of Christians for any city. And yet the supposed dominating influence of the church is not retarding crime nor decreasing murder. Washington is said to have the highest type of society among Negroes in the whole country, but society has failed to wield any beneficial influence on crime that tends to lower the murder rate. There must be a reason for the large number of murders in Washington. What do you attribute it to? One thing that contributes to the excessive number of murders committed in the District is the laxness in home training, the congestion and fostering of crime in the courts and alleys of this city. Clean up these alleys and crime festering courts where so many people are congested and force them out into the wider, better lighted streets, and one of the baneful influences will be eliminated. Proper recreational facilities under wise supervision will help wonderfully in caring for the spare time of young people and help them to properly employ it. The burden of the blame naturally falls on the church. There is not one of them that is carrying on a commendable social program, nor are they doing a single thing toward reducing crime and murder. Very little attention is paid to the old Mosaic injunction of the ten commandments, and the seventh in particular, "Thou shalt not kill." It has lost its influence upon the faming youth spirit of this age. "Hell scared" preaching is of no avail. However, there must be a way out. The crusaders and "uplifters" of the Capital should get busy and launch a drive to lower the rising tide of murders committed by Negroes in Washington. Who will take the initiative in this matter? Remember, "Thou shalt not kill." THE LETTER BOX A READER DWELLS ON CHILDREN AND PUBLIC SERVANTS Dear Editor: Children are not like they were when we were coming up. These are the words we often hear today. It's true they are not like our parents nor they like their's. It's impossible for one generation to be in every way like the preceding one because the progress of the world brings about new conditions and new problems Due to the economic causes, our lives are crowded to the utmost and we have little time to spend with our children and in many cases the mother has turned to be bread earner and this means a laxity in the home. And here is the place where certain principles should be instilled that will serve in after life. But too often the burden is shifted on the teachers who very often find themselves in the role of both parent and teacher. More time spent with children while their characters are --- --- The Washington Tribune being molded will reduce the records of the Juvenile Courts.

An Interesting Letter From Rutgers College by a Former Tribunite Rogers College is located at New Brunswick, N. J., Edward (Eddy) Dunbar Observer editor, and later Lawson a former Tribune, a on the staff of the Tribune, write the following letter from Rutgers: "Hello! You will never know what fun it is until you get to college. They've got us freshmen wearing white socks, with our pants legs tucked inside, and no garters or rubber bands allowed. The sloper they look, the better. We wear bright green neckties, and a little black cap with a green button on top. "Then we wear freshmen badges that can be seen a mile away, with our names written on them. The sophs better not catch you anywhere without it, unless you want a good paddling. A bunch of us went downtown the other day, and you should have heard the people giggle behidn our backs. "Friday they lined us all up, turned our ties backward, hung our sweaters by the arms around our necks, rolled one leg of our pants above our knees, and with our caps in our mouths they started a parade up the main street of the town. "We ran half way and crawled the other half. Whenever some soph asked, 'What are you?' everybody had to yell 'we're muckers, dirty, low-down, stinking, slimy fish face muckers.' "There were enough sophs in the line-up to keep us going up the hill double-quick time, and every freshman was exhausted when he reached the top. "Then they had a tug of war, with the tired frosh on one side, the sophs on the other, and a hose in the middle. The losing side was all wet. Nobody knows who won. "You should see the R.O.T.C. suit they threw at me. The sleeves are about six inches too short, and the coat comes down to where a vest should. "We have had our fun, now we are ready to get down to hard study. I wish every boy and girl who reads this paper will resolve to go to some college. Eddie Dear Editor: If everyone would co-operate with others, it would be a cleaner and better world. If we all would do our parts and help others who are not able, it would be a happy world. If the children in the school would only co-operate with the teacher and principal, there would be better schools, than what they are. If the people of the churches would co-operate with the preacher and other members of the church there would be better and nicer churches. If everyone would co-operate with each one the world would be brighter, the people would get along all right, and everything would be as we would rather see things. But we all must co-operate. Co-operation should always come first in everything. I live at 2225 G street, northwest, and I go to Francis Junior High School. A PLEASANT VACATION Dear Editor: Here we are in school again after a vacation. I am glad to be at school again. I spent my vacation in the hills of North Carolina, my native home. I enjoyed myself. My cousin and I would go in bathing every morning and then we would play on the hills all day. We would go to the spring and drink cool water. O! how I enjoyed looking at the cows and hogs and sheep on the green plains eating grass. My little sister and brother were with me. I am a girl 9 years old and go to Mott School. Little Eddie: Mom, the ther- mometer has fallen. Ma: How many degrees? Little Eddie: I wasn't speaking of the temperture, Mom.

NEARLY 20,000 NEGRO STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITIES OF AMERICA Last week we carried an article telling of the achievement of some Negro boys and girls. Your editor hopes that reading about those studious young people, you will be inspired to study hard at school and then go to college. Try to keep up the enrollment already made by Negroes who go to college. Better still, let us increase that number. From the Tuskegee Messenger of August 17th, we gather the following: "There are in thirty-nine Negro and sixty-five northern colleges and universities a total of 19,253 Negro students, while from these same institutions there graduated with degrees during the recent commencement season a total of 2,160 colored men and women, according to the August number of The Crisis. These encouraging revelations are found in an article in that issue entitled, 'The Year of Education, 1929,' which is the eighteenth annual report of progress in education among Negroes. "From the thirty-nine Negro colleges, most of them located in the South, there graduated this year 1,776 men and women, and in those schools there is a total of 16,982 students of college rank. From northern colleges and universities 394 Negroes graduated in 1929 and there is a total of 2,271 Negro students in these schools. "The article from which these figures are taken also sets forth outstanding achievements of Negro students in scholarship, athletics, and other fields of activity. The material embodied in the article was gathered through a nation-wide enquiry made by The Crisis." Are you determined to go to college, even if you will have to work your way through? Yes? Good. BEDTIME STORY A long time ago the crocodile became very old and died. News of his death was carried from one to another until all the beasts of the forest knew it. After the funeral, the animals thought of dividing his property. At once a quarrel arose. The property belonged to the crocodile's nearest relatives, but too many animals they were his kin and asked for their part of the property. The birds said, "He was our kin and we shall divide the property." Others said, no, and asked, "On what ground do you claim to be kin to the crocodile? You wear feathers; you do not wear plates of armor as he does." The birds replied, "True enough he did not wear our feathers; but, you are not to judge by what he had in his life. Judge by what he was in the beginning. Look you at his beginning. He began his life as an egg. We believe in eggs. His mother bore him as an eggs. He is our relative, and we should have his property." But the beasts said, "It shall not be so. We are his relatives. We shall have his property divided." To settle the quarrel, it was necessary for the animals to hold a council. The council of animals then asked the beasts why they were relatives of the crocodile, and what they had to say about the crocodile's egg origin. The beasts responded: he beats responded, "It may be true that the mark of tribe must be found, in a beginning; but is not in the eggs, for all things began as eggs. Life is the original beginning. Life begins in the egg, then the mark of tribe is shown. When life really begins in the egg, then the mark of tribe is shown. When the crocodile's life began, he had four legs as we have. We judge by legs. So we claim him as our relative. And we shall take his property." Then the birds said, "But, you, look you! Judge by your own words. Neither do you wear crocodile plates, you with your hair and fur! Your words are not correct. The beginning of his life was not, as you say, when the little crocodile sprouted some legs. There was life in the egg before that. And his egg was like ours, and like what you call your egg. You are not his relatives. He is nors. But the beasts despatuted still. The quarrel went back and forth. And they never settled it. —African Story.

W ALEXANDRIA NOTES Mrs. Ethel Hackley Representative 1010 Wytle Street Phone, Alexandria 1427 Parker-Gray School News October 1 finds the Parker-Gray school running in full bloom. Seven hundred and seven children have enrolled and others are entering daily. The five new members of the teaching staff are rapidly getting adjusted to the surroundings and every indication points to a successful year. Among the signs of progress in the new school year is that of the returning to school of so many of the children in the higher grades. Some one has said that we are a nation of six-graders because so few of us have remained in school beyond this grade. This is no longer true in Alexandria. Of the nine pupils who fmished school last year eight have entered schools for higher training. Two years ago we had 34 students in high school. Today we have 68. During this period the number of pupils in the seventh grade increased from 37 to 55. This new interest in education means that more facilities must be provided for the Negro children of this city. The school is very grateful to the parents and friends for the excellent shower given to the Home Economics Department on last Wednesday evening. Among the scores of cans and packages of useful articles for the Department were over 100 pounds of sugar, cans of corn, tomatoes, salmon, milk, lard, baking powder, soap, eggs, etc., and about five dollars in cash. The Parent Teachers' Association under the leadership of Mrs. Margaret Evans, its president, and a special committee, was responsible for the great success of the shower.

BEN DAVIS SAYS NEGRO DELEGATES DEFEATED HIM Were Instructed to Vote for Him, But Switched at Kansas City Denying that he had resigned from the Republican national committeemanship for Georgia to prevent prosecution of himself similar to that of Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, Benjamin Jefferson Davis, of Atlanta, attributes the Georgia vacancy on the national committee to the recency of six colored delegates from his State to the national convention in Kansas City in June, 1928. The Republican national committee when it met here recently and selected Claudius H. Huston, of Tennessee to succeed Dr. Hubert Work as chairman took no action toward filling the Georgia vacancy. Succeeds Johnson Mr. Davis succeeded the late Henry Lincoln Johnson. He claimed that the Georgia delegation to the national convention of 1928 was instructed to vote for him for national committeeman. It was planned, however, to start a row in the Georgia delegation in order to get rid of Davis. The resolutions committee reported a resolution that wherever there was a controversy regarding the selection of a national committeeman, the matter would be referred to the national committee for settlement. When a member of the Georgia delegation was about to nominate Davis, Roscoe Pickett, white, objected, and the Georgia vacancy was referred to the national committee. "I Am Out" At a meeting of the State Committee in Georgia after the national convention, Mr. Davis withdrew his claims to the place and nominated G. F. Flanders, white, as his successor. "I am out," says Mr. Davis, "because six Negro delegates violated their instructions to vote for me at Kansas City and joined the Ku Klux Klan and lily whites in their conspiracy to defeat the expressed will of the people in state convention assembled." Mr. Davis never resigned from the National Committee, but failed of re-election because Negro delegates traded him off in the teeth of their instructions. Gorgia membership on the Republican national committee is still vacant.

WM. O. WALKER. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 4th day of October, 1929. (Saul) CHARLES S. CUNEY. (My commission expires May 4, 1933.) Nature is the greatest of all doctors in the successful elimination of disease and in the restoration of health and activity to the human body. Her power sprang from the wisdom of God in the creation. In the early stages of disease, chiropractic removes all hindrances in nature's work of relieving the sufferings and of curing various diseases to which mankind is subject. Hence, it has become evident to many why some of the most serious complaints have yielded to this wonderful science; and many who have failed to find cures in other methods of treatment have been immediately relieved through the science of chiropractic. In cases, such as paralysis, high blood-pressure, appendicitis both chronic and acute, diabetes, rheumatism, female disorders, nervous prostration, heart disease, liver, kindney, and bladder troubles, influenza, etc., which have confounded many practitioners in other methods of healing, chiropractic has effected most unexpected and wonderful cures. This statement can be easily verified by consulting the records in the office of various chiropractors. These records contain the names and addresses of thousands of persons who have been restored to perfect health through this science. As to the truth of the above facts stated in this letter, the public is extended a cordial invitation to consult C. A. Thompson, chiropractor, in his office at 411 T St., N.W., Washington, D.C.
