Some people never appreciate the convenience of modern devices and systems. The poor man who can least afford to lay off work to deliver a signed paper to a public utility corporation seems unable to learn that he could slip the paper or application in an envelop, affix a two-cent stamp, and have it delivered by the government.
There is really very little business that cannot be transacted by mail or telephone, if one maintains a checking account at the bank. Goods can be ordered, bills paid, sales solicited, complaints registered, compliments bestowed. A cripple, unable to walk, could conduct a dynamic business.

ESTATE OF LATE JOSEPH GRAVES AGAIN IN COURT
Heirs of Joseph S. Graves, cafe proprietor, who died April 20, 1928, are involved in litigation over his estate as the result of a suit filed in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Mrs. Addie Connors, of 1028 Twentieth street, northwest. Mrs. Connors asks the court to authorize and direct the sale of the real estate left by Mr. Graves, to appoint a trustee to sell and convey it, and to require Mrs. Minnie L. Graves, his widow and administratrix of the estate, to account to his heirs for the rents received by her from his property since his death. Mrs. Connors is a daughter of Mr. Graves by a former marriage. In her petition she names as defendants the widow, Mrs. Minnie L. Graves, 1344 R street, northwest, individually and as administratrix of the estate; Mrs. Annie E. Baker, a sister of the petitioner, 2008 Twelfth street, northwest; and Bernice Robinson, aged 16 years, and Sterling G. Robinson, aged 14 years, of Edenton, N.J., children of a deceased daughter of Mr. Graves, and Mrs. Minnie L. Graves.

Says Husband Gave Her $200; Told to Leave; Had Housekeeper
Franklyn A. Owens, of 1724 Second street, northwest, whose sporting clientele is mostly society folks, was sued Monday in the District Supreme Court by his wife, Mrs. Maybelle H. Owens, 1846 Third street, northwest, for a limited divorce.
In her bill of complaint, filed through Attorneys Lambert, Yeatman & Canfield, Mrs. Owens charges her husband with cruelty and desertion. She intimated the presence of the "other woman" in her domestic difficulties but named no one.
Tired of Her
Frank came to her on September 29, she says, and told her he was tired of her and "didn't love her" and wanted her to get out of his house, get a job and support herself. He told her, she states, that he would give her a sum of money to maintain her until such time as she could get employment. She refused.
On the morning of October 2, he told her she would have to leave, she says, as he had secured a housekeeper. He handed her a check for $200. At first she refused to take the check, Mrs. Owens states, and asked his reasons for wanting her to leave. He repeated, she says, that he "didn't love her," and again offered her the check and told her to leave the house as soon as possible. She took the check and has since used (Continued on page 8)
DR. DYETT BACK FROM EUROPE
Dr. Russell Dyett has just returned after a year of intensive study in Europe. Dr. Dyett is a graduate of Howard Medical School and interned at Freedmen's Hospital, after which he passed the Washington, D.C., New York, and Florida State Board examinations. In September, 1928, he sailed for Edinburgh, Scotland, where he did special post graduate work at the Royal College of Surgeons in gynecology and general operative surgery, in addition to general medicine, obstetrics, surgical anatomy, clinical surgery and X-ray plate reading. After seven months at Edinburgh he went to Vienna and as a member of the American Medical Association of Vienna, continued his work. Several months were spent in Budapest on operations under the supervision of the famous surgeons Verebely and Mansfield. Dr. Dyett is the first clored surgeon to attend the clinics in Budapest. He speaks very highly of the personal interest taken in him by these eminent physicians.
On his return trip he visited clinics at Switzerland and Berlin.
Lights Gas, Goes to Sleep Wakes Up in Hospital
After turning a gas heater down low Mrs. Catherine Lee, 26, 1509 Sixth street, northwest, went to sleep. The flame was extinguished by a draft. The landlady forced the door and found Mrs. Lee on the floor unconscious. Quick work by Dr. Sayers at Freedmen's Hospital saved her life.
Wills Marcellus, 19, 950 Westminster street, was burned about the hand when he held a firecracker too long after lighting it. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment.

ATTY. GENERAL ORDERS DEPT. TO ABANDON CASE
Attorney General William D. Mitchell, last Tuesday, authorized the United States Attorney for the southern district of Mississippi at Jackson, Miss., to dismiss the remaining patronage cases against political associates of Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for that State.
Those under indictment and against whom charges will not be pressed include Edward L. Patton, Dr. A. M. Redmond, S. D. Redmond and George F. McLelland, the last named being white.
The action of the Attorney General virtually closes one of the most interesting political prosecutions ever undertaken in Federal courts. The indictments charging conspiracy to violate the law against the purchase and sale of Federal offices were brought immediately after the Republican national convention at Kansas City, Mo. in 1978. Two cases, in which Perry W. Howard was the principal defendant, were tried with the aid of Government counsel sent to Mississippi from Washington. The trials ended in acquittals.
The move of the Government to dismiss the remaining cases is an indication that Attorney General Mitchell does not believe that a conviction can be secured. The Government chose its two stronges teases to prosecute.
SO. AID TO ISSUE A NEW POLICY
RICHMOND, Va.—A call meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va., was held here Monday. Resolutions were approved authorizing an amendment to the charter so the company can enter the straight life insurance field.

The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., is one of the oldest companies owned by Negroes. It has been the most successful in the field of sick and accident insurance. The new straight life policies are expected to add considerably to the company's income.
The officers of the company are: James T. Carter, president; Edward Stewart, first vice-president; B. A. Cephas, second vice-president; A. Washington, third vice-president; B. L. Jordan, secretary-manager; W. A. Jordan, assistant secretary-manager; and W. E. Baker, treasurer.

JUDGE TO REHEAR CASE OF WOMAN WHO WAS BEATEN
Judge Mattingly Consents To Re-open Case and Take New Testamony
The case of Mrs. Ida Wheeler-Turner, who was severely beaten by a police officer and fined a total of $65 by Judge Mattingly in Police Court, Wednesday of last week, will be reheard before the same judge. Saturday morning.
Mrs. Wheeler-Turner was badly beaten by Officer A. C. Fredrete, Station Number Two, on Sunday afternoon, October 6, while she was standing on the corner of Third and P streets, northwest, when she was accosted by the officer who testified she was intoxicated. Later it was found that the woman suffered from loss of memory and was wandering. At the time of the trial the officer testified that Mrs. Turner resisted and the struck her in making the arrest. The woman was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where it was found she had a badly bruised face and might lose the sight of one eye.
Was Sick
It developed that Mrs. Turner was sick at the time of attack and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She gave police and hospital authorities her maiden name, Ida Wheeler, as she had no recollection of being married at the time.
It was mere accident that the case reached the public. Attorney Harry Dyson, while in court, noticed the prisoner did not have the bearing of a criminal or one who would fight an officer. Mr. Dyson was granted permission by Judge Gus Schuldt, who first heard the case, to represent the woman.
Attorney A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A. C.P., and Attorney George E. Hayes volunteered their services to assist Mr. Dyson. Major Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of the Metropolitan Police, wrote Mr. Dyson that he had directed his office to prepare the necessary charges against Officer Fredette, who will be brought before the Police Trial Board.
BRICK BATTLE HELD IN STREET
Louis Nelson, 25, 2810 O street, northwest, was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, Wednesday, with a lacerated eye and other injuries as a result of a rock, brick and bottle battle with Frederick Frost, 2115 Stevens court. Frost was placed under arrest to await the outcome of Nelson's injuries. The fight was at the corner of Twenty-third and M streets.

BRUTAL BEATING OF WOMAN DEPLORED BY BAPTIST CLERGYMEN
Unemployment and Police Brutality came up for discussion at the Baptist Minister's Conference Monday at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church.
Morris Payne was reported as having been discharged to be replaced by a white man by the Fussell Ice Cream公司, by Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.
Rev. W. L. Washington told of seeing white men replace colored men in road construction and on farms all along his trip thru the Shenandoah Valley. He said that "we must face this outlandish and unjust situation which now faces us." He also stated that the chain stores of Baltimore are hiring colored men and women in the colored district and "I feel that the same should be done here."
Rev. J. P. Nichols stated that the Government departments are crowding out the Negro by criticizing him and piling more work on him for which he does not get credit for performing.
Aroused by Brutality
He also stated that the Police Department is outrageous and it concerns us. Continuing, he said: "We should do something about it. The article in the 'Tribune' last week was simply the record of another brutal attack of the Police on defenseless Negroes. Gentlemen, we must rise up against this protected brutality."
The Vice-President, Rev. Augustus Lewis, appointed the following Committee on Employment: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Chairman; Revs. W. L. Washington, Robert Anderson, J. P. Nichols, L. T. Hughes, W. A. Taylor, A.Sayles, W. A. Gray, W. O. Bullock, E. C. Smith and the President, J. L. S. Holloman.
The sermon was preached by Rev. W. A. Gray, Ex-President. Rev. J. C. Banks, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, will deliver the sermon next Sunday.
The visitors introduced were: Rev. J. M. Boswell, of Spotsylvania, Va. Rev. A. S. Lomax, of New York City, formerly of Washington, Rev. J. C. Olden and Clarence DeVeile.

STABBED IN FIGHT
SAYS SCHOOLS SUFFER FROM BAD CURRICULUM
Few Changes Have Been Made by Educators in Last Century
"Education must be readjusted to meet the needs of present day civilization," was a statement made by Howard D. Gregg, assistant professor of education at Howard University, addressing the forum on last Wednesday evening.
Professor Gregg took the position that the college curriculum of today is not very unlike the curriculum of the days of John Harvard, Eli Yale, and William and Mary, notwithstanding the fact that civilization has changed.
He contended that the type of theoretical education used in our schools is more ornamental than utilitarian, more traditional than modern.
He suggested that Negroes suffered more than any other group due to the fact that they have taken over all of the imperfections of the Anglo-Saxon educational system, while failing to adjust this
JOHN A. DAVIS HIRED AND FIRED
By J. A. G. LuValle
The following experience of John A. Davis in trying to get a job under the Civil Service and its results will enlighten you on the "Equal Opportunity" policy of the Hoover administration.
Some time ago Mr. Davis took the Civil Service examination for a painter and passed with a creditable average and was placed on the eligible list.
On the 8th of August, the office of Mr. Dodson in Col. Grant's department of Buildings and Grounds sent out letters for six painters to report at once.
The letter addressed to Mr. Davis was postmarked 9:30 p.m., August 8. It was delivered about 9:10 a.m., August 9. Mr. Davis reported at 9:30 a.m., August 9, to Mr. Dodson. He looked surprised to see a Negro coming in with a letter from him, and after collecting himself from the shock, told Mr. Davis that the six places had been filled within the half hour. Mr. Davis informed him that it seemed incredible.
Job Taken
On August 19, he received another letter from a Mr. Russell to report for duty. He received that letter at 2:15, and at 2:30 he walked into Mr. Russell's office. He was informed the job was taken. He was sent around to a Mr. Oliver's office. He was out and would not be in until 9 a.m. next morning. At 9 o'clock, Mr. Davis was there. Mr. Oliver did not come in until 9:25, and when he did, he told Mr. Davis that the job was taken. On leaving Mr. Oliver's office, he returned to the office of Mr. Russell. Entering while Mr. Russell was dictating a letter saying: "It is necessary that you report at once as the work is urgent." Looking up and seeing Mr. Davis, Mr. Russell's color changed to a florent red, and after about three minutes of collecting himself he continued his dictating, saying: "You need not call, for the place has been filled." On August 28, he was called on (Continued on page 8)

eral clubs are receiving instruction

Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain.
Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the brusied spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor.
With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a

Andrew Lindberg, under whom Mr. Patten worked for the past twenty-five years. Mr. Lindberg commended him for his long, faithful and efficient service in the office and congratulated him on leaving with a splendid record, and expressed his best wishes for his future happiness.
Mr. Patten says that his retirement was a forced one and that he would not reach the retirement age until April 16, 1930. He feels that the Rev. Earl Taggart, who ordered his retirement, was simply
certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success.
In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live.
Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to

"I THINK Cardul is the best builder on the market—I can say this for it was a help to me," writes Miss Margaret Burris, 802 E. Vine Ave., Knoxville, Tenn.
"During the last year in high school, I felt very weak and run-down. Several of my friends told me about Cardul and suggested that I try it. 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."

HALF-HOUR DINNERS
By Winifred Thurlow
Director of the Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Company
When day is done and the woman who is housekeeper and business employee at the same time returns home from the office, she faces another task—that of preparing the evening meal for her family. Wearily she casts about for something which will make a well-balanced, wholesome meal and yet require a minimum of time and effort in its preparation.
Not only does the business woman favor simple, easily prepared meals, but also her sisters who delight in an afternoon at the movies or a club meeting, often hasten home at the eleventh hour to assemble the "makings" of a quick meal.
For such as these, a half-hour dinner is worth considering. They must, however, banish from their menus such slow cooking dishes as stews and roasts, and think instead of broiled and sauté meats, fish, eggs and cheese as main dishes that are possible in hasty meals.
An endless variety of fruits and vegetables should be ready to be cooked in brief periods of time while many of them may be used in the uncooked state, especially in salads, stewed fruit, either fresh or dried is wholesome and requires little cooking. Stewed fruits should be soaked in cold water for twenty-four hours before they are cooked.
Any meal is cooked and served with less expenditure of energy and in a shorter time, when the kitchen is conveniently arranged and equipped with the proper utensils. This means that one should not attempt to cook two meat-balls in a huge frying pan that would hold twenty, or that one cupful of food should be placed on the stove in a saucepan that measures twelve cups. Thi sis not only a waste of time and energy, but also usually wastes the materials used.
Assuming that the woman who serves half-hour dinners has a convenient kitchen and suitable equipment to work with (let us consider some of the menus which she might prepare.
Half-Hour Dinner No. 1
Brown the ham on both sides in a skillet. Place thinly sliced potatoes over the top. Add one cupful of milk or water. Cover closely and cook the remainder of the half hour. Make the cold slaw, slice the peaches, heat rolls and canned tomato soup, and make coffee.
Dinner No. 2
Broiled Steak with Onions
Scalloped Tomatoes
Mashed Potatoes
Heart of Lettuce Salad
Ice Cream Sandwich
Coffee
Use canned tomatoes. The ice cream sandwich is made of a slice of ice cream (purchased at the store) placed between two slices of cake. A fruit sauce may be served with it, if desired.
Dinner No. 3
Hamburg Steak with Tomato Sauce
Macaroni with Cheese
Buttered Peas Sliced Cucumbers
Fruit Salad
Coffee
A can of tomato soup poured
over the hamburg steak after it
has browned makes a nice sauce.
The peas are of course canned.
Any favorite fruit combination may
be used for the salad. It is at-
tractive served with whipped cream
or with mayonnaise to which
whipped cream has been added.
1 Heaping tablespoonful butter
1 Cauliflower
2 Cups white sauce
3 Tablespoonfuls grated cheese
Salt and pepper
Wash and trim the cauliflower
and boil it in boiling salted water
until tender. When done, drain
well. Mix two tablespoonfuls of
the grated cheese with the white
sauce. Butter an au gratin dish
and put into it four tablespoonfuls
of the sauce. Upon this place the
cauliflower cut into flowers. Cover
with the sauce, fine bread crumbs
and the rest of the cheese. Dot
small pieces of butter over the top
and bake fifteen minutes.
The Home Service Bureau of the
Washington Gas Light Company
will be glad to send you menus and
recipes for oven dinners or to assist
you in your cookery problems.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1929
MILADY'S BEAUTY
A
HAVE A HEALTHY COMPLEX
ION THE WHOLE DAY
To remove skin-food allowed to remain on skin overnight: When the skin is normal one may wash the face with complexion-soap and warm water or "wash" it with a pad of absorbent cotton saturated with skin-tonic and cleansing cream, followed by fresh applications of skin-tonic, astringent in quality, if the skin is oily. When the skin is supersensitive and dry use cleansing cream and remove the cream with cleansing tissues; follow with a mild skin-tonic. After cleansing always pat fresh skin-tonic into the skin till rosy.
Bathe the eyes with a good eye-wash, using an eye-cup for each eye. When not available use an eye-dropper. Many times when neither have been at hand I have dropped the eye-wash directly into my eyes from the bottle. Special eye-lotions are recommended after exposure to the sun and wind to soothe, rest, and relieve any inflammation. This practise is wise for those who are subject to eye-strain from confining work, out-of-door sports, or frequenting the movies.
Now for the quick morning shower, cold or warm, as you prefer. You may choose instead the brisk rub with a towel dampened with hot or cold water, followed by a vigorous rubbing with a dry, rough Turkish or linen-crash towel. Any method is recommended that will quickly stimulate the circulation. Rub the body with a refreshing toilet-water with deodorant qualities. Deodorants for several days' protection are preferably used at night; those for one day's protection, either powder or liquid, after the morning bath.
Some prefer to arrange the hair before adding the make-up. This is a matter of individual choice and system. When the hair is arranged off the forehead it makes little difference. Let me beg of you, however, no matter whether your hair is perfectly straight or permanently or Marcel waved, to take a minute or two to make the scalp glowingly warm. Place the fingers against the scalp and move the scalp, not the fingers, until it is warm and glowing. This will not disarrange even a carefully placed wave.
Now for the powder-base. Choose either vanishing cream or liquid powder, but a mere film of either is stressed. Both protect the skin against exposure to the sun and wind, especially when they closely match the skin in tone. Add cream rouge to the cheeks and lips, or liquid rouge if preferred. Follow with a dusting of complexion-powder, which should also match the skin in tone for a perfect make-up. Now scrub and clean the nails, and use a bit of your favorite handlotion or vanishing cream to keep hands soft and smoothe.
Just before luncheon repair your morning make-up. Fatigued? A touch of compact rouge will make you look less tired. Certainly you will use a bit of lipstick and powder. See that the compact powder matches your skin in tone. Many women prefer a sifter-vanity filled with carefully selected complexion-powder.

FOURTH GENERATION TO
WED: ONE IN WASHINGTON
BALTIMORE, Md.—When Miss Zoma Millard and Mr. C. H. Sheffe, of this city, unite in marriage on October 18, Mrs. Anna Freeman, of Clarksburg, W. Va., may live to see her life's dream come true. Mrs. Freeman has often expressed the wish that she might live to see the fifth generation in her family. Millard is Mrs. Freeman's great-granddaughter.
Mrs. Freeman is more than 80 years old, but halte and hearty. She is quite a basketball and football fan and is presented with a season pass for these sports in her home city.
Miss Millard is the grand-niece of Mrs. Stella White, of 1124 Third street, northwest, Washington, and a second cousin of Mrs. Vernet West, of 221 B street, northeast, Washington. Mrs. West has a daughter, Rose Ann, 8 years old, who is also a fourth generation of Mrs. Freeman's.

LOCAL COUPLE RETURN FROM EUROPEAN TRIP
Dr. and Mrs. J. Milton Francis Make Homeward Voyage on Bremen
After an extended tour of Europe, Dr. and Mrs. J. Milton Francis, of 2109 Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, returned to America, landing in New York, October 1, after four days and seventeen hours on the Bremen, the largest and fastest steamship afloat. They left New York on June 20, last, and landed at Havre, France. They were met by friends in a car and motored to Rouen, where they visited the famous Cathedral there, then to Paris, where they occupied an apartment. After a week in Paris they motored to London, via Calais and Dover, where they spent three weeks seeing England. Then back to Paris for three weeks, where the Doctor visited several hospitals and clinics in and around Paris.
Zurich, Switzerland, was their next point of interest, and then to Innsbruck, Austria, and on to Vienna, Austria, where other hospitals and clinics were visited. Mrs. Francis was very much impressed with the cleanness of the city in civic character and in thought. Its simplicity was outstanding. Berlin, Germany, was the next city, then to Pottsdam and Korlonge and back to Paris. Mrs. Francis stated that the people of Austria and Germany are fighting to regain their economic status and that she did not find things as high as she expected to find them. "For example," she said, "one can rent a five-room apartment of extra large rooms, for only $25 per month. Women servants may be had for 16c per hour."
Asked how she found the European attitude toward the American Negro, Mrs. Francis said that much depended on the person and the approach. She thinks Germany has forgotten that there were colored troops in the army against her and that she is too busy trying to regain her financial and commercial standing to think of a color line.
REV. TAYLOR RETURNS

WAITER IS ONE OF 12 ON JURY TO TRY FALL
George Parker Has Been In Dining Car Service For Period of 20 Years
The selection of the jury to try Albert B. Fall, ex-secretary of the Interior under President Harding, on the charge of accepting a $100,000 bribe from Edward Doheny in connection with the leasing of the Elk Hill oil reserve to the California oil magnate, was completed Monday in criminal court, No. 2, over which Justice William Hitz is presiding.
The jury is composed of eight men and four women. One of the men is George E. Parker, 623 L street, northeast, who was the fifth juryman selected. He gave his age as 44, and his employment as a dining car waiter of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Mr. Parker has been with this road for about 20 years, and stands well for honesty and integrity.
The jury is locked up every night in a hotel on the Avenue, where they are guarded so there will be no shadowing as was the case with the Sinclair trial, and for which Harry Sinclair is now serving time in the District jail.
Ex-secretary Fall was not frightened at the selection of Mr. Parker. He has had a colored man very close to him for many years in the person of Lt. J. S. Flipper, one of the three colored men to finish from West Point Military Academy.

SMITH PASSES T0
1910 0 VICTORY
OVER H. U. BISONS
HOWARD STADIUM.—Johnson
€. Smith of Charlotte, N.C., passed
its way to a 19-0 victory over
Howard University here Saturday,
while Howard fans looked on as-
tonished.
‘This is the first vietory the Tar-
heels have ever won over a Bison
eleven. Coach Thomas in his first
year at Smith has turned out one
of the greatest teams in the his-
tory of the school.
Passed to Victory
‘Two of Smith's scores came as
a result of passes. The first touch-
down came in the first quarter.
Fowlks, Smith back, grabbed a
Howard pass at Howard's 40-yard
line. On the next play the Bulls’
quarter snapped the ball to Wil-
liams who threw a 20-yard pass to
Martin, who gathered it in his
arms, cleverly eluded Howard tack-
Jers, and raced across the goal.
‘The place kick for the extra point
was blocked by Marshall. /
Williams Stars
‘The second quarter was fairly
even, neither team threatening. In
the “third frame Smith came
through with another touchdown
when Williams scampered across
Howard's goal after an end run for
17 yards. An attempted pass for
the extra point was grounded. The
boys from down home scored again
in the last_quarter on a 20-yard
pass from Williams to Walker. A
pass by the same combination was
good for the extra point.
Bisons Outplayed
Howard made three first downs,
compared with nine by Smith.
Jobmson C. Smith was penalized
for 105 yards, while Howard reaped
15 during the game. “Red” Wil:
liams, Walker arid Martin were the
prineipal ground gainers for Smith
while Peyton, Mack and Marshall
were in’on every play for the
Bisons.
‘The Smith team is coached by

ST, PAUL BOWS
TO HAMPTON BY
2010.0 SCORE
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va—
Playing a solely defensive game
and gaining only two first downs,
the St. Paul Tigers attempted to
hold the mighty Hampton Ironmen
scoreless, and did it until they were
worn out in the last quarter.
St. Paul kept her hands off of the
ball during most of the game in an
attempt to keep the Seasiders in
their own territory, and it was only
after a day of punting, plunging,
and hard driving that Hampton
worked through the brilliant tack-
ling of Wells and past the sdlid
Orange and Black line to win by
a score of 20-0.
«Kicking Duel
The first quarter was a booters’
duel, broken only periodically by a
few vain attempts on Hampton's
side to break through the Tiger de-
fense. In the latter part of the
quarter, the Blue and White backs
did drive right up to the Saints’
one-yard line, only to have the
ball go over.
Hampton Scores
By several off tackle and center
plays the Seaside backs gained the
one-yard line, and Jones hurtled
through for a touch, which Harris
finished off with a kicked goal. St.
Paul made a valiant fight to drive
Hampton from her territory, but a
15-yard penalty threw them back
to the five-yard line, and a blocked
kick which Hill recovered, gave
Hampton the advantage. Harris
made another touchdown, but
missed the try. The Tigers then
tried to come out of their lair, but
a series of errors by the center lost
them 20 yards, and when they did
kick they had gained nothing.

score of 18 to 6.
The'nearest thing to a college
football game will be in Baltimore
where Morgan and U:‘on Univer-
sity will play. In my opinion it
will be just another game of foot-
‘The Lincoln Lions have a tough
assignment at Greensboro, N. C.-
The A. and T. Aggies will give the
Lions plenty of fight.
Shaw meet Seminary at Lynch-
burg while St. Paul and N, C.
State lock horns at Durham, N, C.
The big game in C, I. A. ‘A, cir-
cles will be played at Hampton
when the Virginia State boys des-
cend on the Seasideers, two of the
most powerful teams in the Asso-

H, U, PREXY COMES OUT FOR
SPORT
Contrary to popular belief, Pres-
‘ident Johnson of Howard Univer-
sity IS in favor of athletics. Along
with some 20 other newspaper men
invited to lunch last Saturday by
Mr. Johnson we were surprised
when the speaker declared he ws
for athletics in all its ranches
Mr. Johnson made known tl
fact that he was a quarterback on
Morehouse’s team for two years.
It is rather hard to imagine the
dignified prexy and Baptist minis-
ter snapping a pigskin, The pres-
ident said he favored athletics in
the true amateur sense and a-
gainst all that smacks of the pro-
fessional. The man that is look-
ing for special favors, scholar-
ships for athletic services and
other inductments is out of luck
at_Howard,
The Howard University head
came out for sports without reser-
vations and declared that Verdell,
new coach, is advocating true am-
‘atear contests,
The Dunbar High School and
Stanton High School, of Annapolis,
fought to a deadlock here Friday
at Missouri avenue and Third
street.
Dunbar’s goal line was threat-
ened in the fourth quarter when 8
Stanton back got away for a 50-
yard run to Dunbar’s 15-yard line
when he was stopped by Robin-
son in a fiying tackle from the
rear,
Many fumbles by Dunbar cost
probable scores in the second and
third quarters.

Brilliant Runs Feature A.
and T.’s Win Over Shaw
RALEIGH, N.C._—The Aggies of
A. & T. College of Greensboro out-
classed the Shaw University Bears
here Friday afternoon in the grid-
iron feature of the Negro Wake
County Fair and the gridiron bat-
tle went to the gate city eleven by
a 25-0 score.
The Bears outweighed, managed
to ioep in the thick of the fight
throughout the entire contest, al-
though the tide of the battle was
decisively against them in a “scor
ing way.
The four touchdowns for the
Greensboro team resulted from
beautiful broken field runs by Rea.
ford and Deberry, who got. away
several times for about half the
distance of the field. The four
brilliant runs were marked by per-
nee interference on the part of the
Aggies.
SOX STARS SERIES
Baltimore baseball fans are rais-
ing plenty of whoo-pee beeaure it
is said that the Black Sox and the
International All-Stars, white,
have come to an “understanding”
in the series being played at the
Maryland Baseball Park. For the
lest three years the Sox and the
Stars have been playing a post-
series that has attracted consider-
able attention in the Monumental
City.
Since play started three weeks
ago the two teams have come out
even. Each having won three. and
lost three. Even last year the “I
win one, you win one” policy was
adherred to throughout the month
the games were played, ‘There
were rumors then that a gentle-
man was in the woodpile, ‘The rum-
blings have turned into a tempest
and the Sox are openly accused of
throwing the games in order to
prolong play until cold weather
calls a halt.
Tea
“UNDERSTANDING”
Tast year football was at its
height and the Sox and the Stars
were playing to capacity crowds.
Now it is said that Sox players
openly boast of the “undetstand-
ing” with the Stars. Certain easy
chances are turned into errors by
the Sox fielders when the. Stars
are in need of runs to even things
up and the Stars being an oblig-
ing set of gentlemen return the
spite at the first opportunity
men the Sox might be in need of
a run or two to make the games
look tight like that.
The players say the fans are en-
joying the games and they hate to
cat 'the series short and make the
‘customers forego their favorite
sport. The small matter of gate
‘receipts is just a coincidence. ‘The
iden is to please the fans.
Another squawk is raised by the
fans because certain gamblers on
thd inside know which way the
game is going and as a result
make a killing every Sunday, The
suckers are the ones who pay. The
faris can easily stop the whole bus-
iness by refusing to attend the
games.

Atlanta Social School
Opens New Season
Atlanta, Ga.—The Atlanta
School of Social Work has begun
its tenth year with indications that
it will be the best in its history.
Beginning in 1920 with one teach-
er and a single class room, both
loaned by Morehouse College, the
school now requires fourteen rooms
for offices and classes and has a
faculty of five full-time and a num.
ber of part-time teachers.
‘The student body this year is
Jerger than that of last. Orienta-

VERDELL PLANS
SHFT IN UNE
TOBETER TE
Coach Tom Verdell has made
several changes in the Howard
line-up in order to hit on a winning
combination. The Bisons didn’t do
so well in their first two starts, and
the Howard mentor is leaving no
stones unturned to make the Hill-
toppers’ finish the season without
another defeat.
“We are going to win when we
meet Morehouse, Saturday,” said
Verdell. “All other games will be
in ‘the win column,” Tom said.
Harris, a sophmore, and Fales, a
senior, will be tried out in quarter-
back. Martin will watch the game
from the sidelines for awhile. Mar-
tin did quite a bit of fumbling in
the last game, and for some reason
he failed to get a firm grip on the
all.
Saturday was the first time in
history a Howard team ever tasted
the dust from a Jobnsn C. Smith
squad. Verdell is out to avenge
that defeat and he plans to start
with Morehouse. “A shift in the
line-up is being attempted and sev-
eral new faces will be seen on the
first squad. _ «
“The boys are not discouraged,”
said Verdell, “the two setbacks on-
ly serve to spur them on harder,”
the coach said.
‘This. writer still believes that
Verdell will yet make good as a
Howard coach. Practically every
man on the team is green. He had
a hard job fighting the old fra-
tetrnity spirit and he has con-
quored. A complete new team had
to be rounded into shape, which is
a bigger job than any coach can
accomplish in one year.
The Roamer A. C., of Alexandria,
Va,, defeated the Warrenton Yel-
lowjackets, 13 to 0, on last Sunday,
in a hotly contested game, in Alex-
andria, Both touchdowns were
made by Lawrence Poindexter, the
winners? fast halfback. ‘The ‘frst
score came as the result of a for-
ward pass from Taylor to Poindex-
ter, and the second came when
Poindexter received a punt and ran
45 yards for the count with a per-
fect five-man interference.
Strange, the Alexandrian’s new
quarterback, performed well. The
‘Roamers played the Ebenezer elev-
‘en to an 0-0 tie, Sunday week.

BROADWAY IS THE GREATEST PARADE GROUND EVER
NEW YORK.—Broadway is the greatest parade ground of all times. The most accurate likeness of Broadway, however was recently photographed and the statistics collected about the most famous community in the world are herewith carbonized:
Broadway between 7:30 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., presents the most amazing transient statistics of any similar locality in the world.
During these hours more than a million people occupy a space 5,280 feet long and less than 2,000 feet wide.
Each individual occupies an imaginary plot 10 feet in area. Just about stretching room.
At 7:30 every night, 70 patrolmen and four sergeants en-reforce a staff of 182, to handle the pleasure-bent multitudes—and how they are bent.
A bare idea of the task is indicated by an official tally of taxicabs which cross the intersection of Broadway at Forty-fifth street. Police figures show that between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., an average of 645 taxis cruise by and 85 per cent are loaded. Consider all the arteries and the immense traffic is neatly visualized.
Passenger cars out-number the greatest fleet of taxicabs on earth, to 1.
It is the greatest cut-rate district in the world. Not unlike a glossal outdoor dime store, the hordes of transients and natives in a continuous stampede for its cut-rate tickets, cut-rate clothing, cut-rate haberdashery, its cut-rate tobacco, cut-rate drugs, cut-rate jewels, and its cut-rate liquors, its cut-rate night clubs, etc.
The obvious reason for the gigantic mob in this two-by-four area is exploitation. Times Square and Broadway obtain more advertising and general ballyhoo than any other locale extant.
N. Y. MUSICIANS THREATEN TO GO OUT ON STRIKE
NEW YORK.—More than half of Broadway's theatres may yet go dark October 20. This is the feeling along the rialto, when fresh news from Philadelphia, which has not seen a legitimate show this season, indicated the musicians' strike in that city as far from settlement.
New York producers are quite frankly alarmed at the situation which they say might easily lead to a sympathetic strike in all of the Shubert and Erlanger theatres in New York and throughout the country.
The Philadelphia quarrel is with the Shubert and Erlanger houses: Payment of musicians on "dark" weeks is the chief issue. While independent theatres in New York would not be affected, should the strike be called, producers emphasized that the number of these theatres is less than that controlled by Shubert and Erlanger. Out on the road practically all the theatres are Shubert or Erlanger controlled.
Despite the statement of Joseph N. Weber, president of the American Federation of Musicians, that the sympathetic strike is only a remote possibility producers say the musicians' union is determined to force the Philadelphia theatres to meet their demands, which is a guarantee of thirty full weeks' work yearly and that musicians be employed for every stage production. The owners' response is that they cannot meet this guarantee.

EBONY THREE ONE OF THE BEST ACTS AT THE HOWARD
The Ebony Three, consisting of Miss Odele Hargrave, Dick Conway and Clyde Parks, is stopping the show at the Howard this week. This trio is one of the best acts seen here in some time. Miss Hargrave has a delightful voice. Parks and Conway are two boys that can dance and how. Both are clever artists and Washington theatre goers are showing their appreciation by showing them with applause. W. C. Worms, cartonist, is an act that is different from the general run and his lightning drawings are artistic as well as novel. Miss Jackie Mabley continues to please as a comic, but her tendency to profanity is objectionable. She has the ability to put her work over without the use of so many risque expressions. John Mason and Galli De Gaston are the comedians.
Joe Davis Leaves for Mid-West on Business
NEW YORK—Joe Davis, president of the Triangle Music Publishers, is now in the middle west on business, where he will remain for ten days or two weeks. Because of the large business increase of the Triangle, which has several song hits on the market, this company has taken over their entire floor of the Roseland building. Andy Razaf, who wrote "Aint Misbehavin'", popular song hit from "Hot Chocolates", is connected with this concern, having contracted to write exclusively for Triangle.
Rudy Vallee to Bring His "Yankees" to Harlem
NEW YORK—Rudy Vallee, radio idol, and who lately made "The Vagabond Lover," in Hollywood, is again bringing his Connecticut Yankees to Harlem, on October 21. This time he will play for a dance at the Rockland Palace. John W. Moses, editor, and William Smith, dramatic editor of the American and West Indian Times, are responsible for this stellar attraction. Rudy Vallee is also presenting Hollywood's Million Dollar orchestra of 15 pieces as a special attraction and John C. Smith's rejuvenated "Harlemites," will be added to complete the musical riot.
POPULAR SISTERS COMING HERE
THE WHITMAN SISTERS, with their entirely new show, will come to the Howard Theatre, week beginning October 28th.
"DANCE OF LIFE," ALL TALKIE, AT THE BOOKER T.
At Lichtman's Booker T. Theatre, beginning Saturday, October 19, will be seen the sensational picture, "The Dance of Life," which is an elaborate all-talking, all-singing love melodrama made from the stage success, "Burlesque," by George Manker Watters and Arthur Hopkins. "Burlesque" opened in New York September 1, 1927, and was an instantaneous smashing hit. The "Dance of Life" is a back-stage story of stage people, the troupers of a burlesque wheel.
DUKE ELLINGTON CLOSES RUN WITH "SHOW GIRL"
NEW YORK.—After five months on Broadway, being featured with one of Ziegfeld's most beautiful musicals, "Show Girl," Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club orchestra closed last Saturday when this production terminated its Broadway run.
Duke and his boys are still entertaining those who frequent the popular Cotton Club and it is rumored that this combination will leave for Hollywood next month to make a special all-singing and talking for one of the larger film companies. Duke Ellington's latest release for Victor Records, "Doing the Voom-Voom," is now all the rage in and around the big city.

"Great Day" to Open on Broadway on Monday
NEW YORK.—"Great Day," Vincent Youman's musical extravaganza, is now reported to be the all-time champion for postponed premieres. Considering its numerous delays and handicaps, it has been suggested that Vincent Youman's "Great Day" should be re-christened Vincent Youman's "Bondage." Because of last minute changes in the cast, this production with Miller and Lyles, Louis Deppe, and 40 colored singers, is scheduled to open this Monday on Broadway.

WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW

ME H. BURROUGHS
The reaction of the club women of Chicago against the importing of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell by Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, as campaign manager for her in her fight for the Senate, gives rise to two questions which affect our race.
The first question is, "Why is it that the residents of the District of Columbia do not vote?" The answer is that this is a Federal District and no citizen, not even the President of the United States, can vote in the District, unless the present Constitution is changed.
The second question is "Why is it these same voting women of Illinois, do not demand that their candidate for the Senate promise to put through an enabling act enforcing the 14th and 15th amendments which will give the ballot to their brothers and sisters whom they have left in the South?"
There is certainly a difference between voteless Washington, and the voteless South. And it is a duty of the voters of Illinois to see to it that their kinfolks and friends left below the Mason and Dixon line, enjoy the same privilege of voting which they have in Illinois. It is humanly, physically and politically possible for Negro men and women of the South to vote. But it is not possible for the citizens of the District to vote in the District.
And too, the Negro women of the South have an open seasame to the ballot through the power given them by the 19th Amendment, which says: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
There is no "color clause" in that amendment. The Negro women of the South should cash in on this amendment and the Negro women of Chicago instead of fighting a woman who is trying to get them to vote, should spend their energies to get more of their sisters in the South to exercise their political rights under the 19th amendment.
The harvest is too large and the workers are too few to start squabbling over who shall head the parade. The Chicago women should encourage their sex to enter politics on all sides and certainly not discourage them whoever they may be or where they may be from. If the women of Illinois will discuss the issues of the campaign and not the people who are working in it, they will do the race a great good.
FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW by NANNIE H. BURROUGHS
JUST BEING WHITE DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON SUPERIOR
On Saturday night, October 12, between 7 and 8 o'clock, Station WMAL broadcast a program of music. In his introductory of a pianist who was gong to play a Negro jazz number the announcer said that "the next selection will show the ideals and spirit of the old and of the new Negro—the spirit of the plantation darkey and the Harlem high brow—but no matter what he is, the Negro is still a Negro."
What on earth did that man mean? "The Negro is still a Negro." Of course he is and so is the Anglo-Saxon, the Indian, and the Chinese. The Negro would be a monstrosity if he were born a Negro and turned Chinese or Anglo-Saxon. He can't be anything else, physically, because he is born of flesh and "that which is born of flesh is flesh"—remains the same kind of flesh.
But men do not win in this world on flesh. Flesh is incidental—spirit is all. That's why Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again" as soon as any man or race is born again—born of the spirit. he rises fro the common level and becomes superior to all who live only in the flesh.

The Washington Tribune
The Negro wouldn't gain anything moral or spiritual by merely a physical change. He can make as much of himself, physically and mentally, as any other human being if he works at it as long and as hard as any other human being works. Physically—in the flesh—he will be as good looking as any other human being when he has the money, concoctions, and the time to work on himself or be worked on by others, as long as some other races have been worked on by others, and by themselves. When he has been out of slavery over a thousand years—as long as the Anglo-Saxon has been out—he will have, at least, as much of the veneer of civilization and power to conform to certain standards of the ethics and culture of the period in which he lives, as the Anglo-Saxon now has.
A man hasn't done anything for himself by simply coming into the world white, and the only way he can prove his superiority is by becoming something mentally, morally, and spiritually.
In spite of the veneer, the Anglo-Saxon is still an Anglo-Saxon, and in spite of the veneer the Indian will always be an Indian, the Chinaman, a Chinaman, and the Negro, a Negro, and they will not try to be anything else, physically, but millions of them can be equals morally, mentally, and spiritually, and with those three powers they will build great governments and
promote great institutions.
The Anglo-Saxon is the only race on earth that keeps up a complaint against men's color and penalizes them for being what God made them. The Anglo-Saxon is the only race that is trying to make white, and not right, the passport into the great world of unlimited opportunity. Men want opportunity; they don't give a straw about their color because, after all, color is only a matter of taste.
The Anglo-Saxon is the only race on the planet that is trying to prove that just being white makes a human being superior. What's the big ida when there is no truth in it?
The inference in the statement "no matter what he is, the Negro is still a Negro," is that it matters not how richly endured, how well educated, cultured, and useful to human society the Negro become, he is still inferior to the Anglo-Saxon because he didn't "choose" to be born white. He infers that a white horse in superior to a black horse, regardless of the fact that the black horse won the race. Just being white makes even a white idiot superior to a black Solomon. Isn't that mischievous "bunk" to send over the air? Thank God no sensible person, white or black, subscribes to it.
The fallacious doctrine of the innate superiority of the Anglo-Saxon causes millions of ignorant whites to remain ignorant and not aspire to be anything better or do anything but look down on or torment Negroes. They stay dumb, dirty, and devilish and glory is being just WHITE. Millions of whites have never even heard that there is a higher level of life than race and color. They have never even heard of that higher place of power and service to which men of all races and colors have climbed upward, by slow and difficult ways through ignorance, prejudice, and injustice, until they saw clearly the relationship and interdependence of man to man, and race to race. It is only in this new spiritual and moral relationship and realm that men can become the power of God, in the transformation of human society, and God's instrument for the promotion of good will among men.
To the ignorant white, skin is all; sense and service are nothing. To them the richness, beauty, and power of the inner life are unknown and undesired; race is first. No matter what he is, the Anglo-Saxon who thinks that way is still an Anglo-Saxon who will have to be born again before he can get sense enough to be of any lasting service to his race or to the world. Publish this fact everywhere, even in the palaces of Ashdod and in the land of Egypt, that no matter what he is, the Negro is still a Negro, the Anglo-Saxon is still an Anglo-Saxon, the Chinaman is still a Chinaman, the Indian is still an Indian, but when he is born again he becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus and gets sense enough to know that God is no respector of persons and biologically the human race is the same.
Until men get that much sense it is dangerous and wrong to give them a chance to advertise their own ignorance, broadcast insults and spread, insidiously, the doctrine of inate inferiority or superiority of races on the mere score of color. Men are not superior by the mere incident of having been born white. Broadcast that fact, in the name of Truth.
In this country of race prejudice trine of innate inferiority or superior chance and it is therefore easier for white men to arrive, but life is not all chance. There is nothing so changeable as change and prejudice and injustice will be out of style a hundred years from now, and so will the white race if it insists on trying to repudiate the fact of the oneness of the human race, or continue to try to thwart God's plan to reunite the human race in the spiritual and moral bonds of brotherhood.
No matter what our color, we are all children of God. No children of the same father are innately superior. Since we're all children of God, then all races are heirs of God and no one race is going to hog the earth and get away with it. (In my next release I shall talk about broadcasting the Negro.)
JOHN DAVIS
(Continued from page 1)
the phone and told to report the next morning for work. He went on the 29th and was put to work at $6 per day, supposedly for 60 days, as the letter stated.
Hired and Fired
On September 29, he was told by a Mr. Dodson, under whom he was working, that the force would have to be cut down and since he was the last one hired he would be the first to be let out.
Mr. Davis told Dodson that since they were all in the same grade and the other men had worked the 60 days specified in the first letter citing him to work, that he felt that they should be the first to go and let him make his 60 days. Dodson did not see it that way, and Davis was hired and fired in 30 days.
This is a concrete example of President Hoover's "Equal Opportunity" policy when a Negro is concerned. Have you another case in mind? If so let the Tribune know of it, giving names and dates.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 18. 1929
Washington Tribune
Mrs. Owens Seeks Divorce, Says Husband Cruel
most of the money to pay outstanding bills. That night she took her clothing and personal belongings and left.
Another Woman
Frank became attentive to another woman in the summer of 1929, Mrs. Owens charges. He is frequently seen in the company of this other woman, she says, taking her to public places with utter disregard of her or the humiliation caused her.
In the late winter of 1928-29 Mrs. Owens alleges, he beat and assaulted her by dragging her out of bed and choking her and trying to throw her out into the street. A neighbor came in response to her telephone call, she says, and upon seeing her condition took her to her home where she shekt her all night and the next day, Mrs. Owens being unable to go to work as a result of this beating. Later he persuaded her to return home, assuring her that he would reform, she says.
Frank began neglecting her while they were living in an apartment at 1527 S street, northwest, Mrs. Owens claims. He stayed out late at night. She did not complain at first, she says, because she thought his business required him to keep somewhat late hours. But when his conduct in this respect became progressively worse, she declarse, she complained to him one night.
Goes Into Rage
He went into such a violent rage and threatened her in such a menacing manner, she asserts, she was afraid to remain in the apartment with him. She stayed in a neighbor's apartment in the same building for two days.
A reconciliation was effected. They moved to 1724 Fourteenth street, northwest. He continued to neglect her, she states, and practiced upon her systematic mental and physical cruelty by staying out late at nights.
Frank purchased a home at 1724 Second street in October, 1827. Shortly afterwards she became severely ill. In spite of her serious illness, she says, he continued to neglect and ignore her, remaining away from home until early morning hours.
During the Christmas holidays of 1927, her people came here from New Jersey to look after her, her mother remained until the first part of January, 1928. Although he was advised by doctors of her serious illness and she was being attended by two physicians and a trained nurse, during the holidays, without any regard for her or her condition, she says, he went to New York on a pleasure trip.
Forcees Her to Sew
He insisted that she sew buttons on his clothes, which she says she did although physically unable to do so. He quarreled with her when she complained of his cruel and inhuman treatment of her, she states, using vile and profane language in the presence of her mother and again threatened her telling her he would pitch her on the street. In January, 1928, on the advice of her physician, she went to Atlantic City. She regained her health and returned to her employment February 15, 1928. In the summer of 1928 she asked Frank to take his vacation with her. He refused. She went to Atlantic City with a girl friend. While they were there he came in his automobile. She asked him to bring her back to Washington with him, she says. He refused, she states, telling her "he didn't want to be bothered wih her."
Mrs. Owens was employed as a stenographer at Freedman's Hospital. She resigned May 15 last, to manage one of Frank's stores, "Maybelle," located at 1343 U street_northwest. This store was closed September 15. All the money she earned, she says, she used to assist in maintaining their home and she is at this time without funds.
Frank Has Money
Frank owns a cigar and magazine business at 1728 Fourteenth street, northwest, and "maintains other business connections with horse racing and sporting business," which nets him a monthly income from $600 to $1,100, Mrs. Owens claims. He paid the balance of $5,500 due on their home in 11 months, she says. He owns a Reo automobile which cost more than $1,700. The furniture in their home, which she says is paid for, cost approximately $4,000. Frank also owns stocks and bonds and diamonds, the value of which is unknown to her, she states, although he has told her he has enough put away to retire. The couple were married by the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, September 15, 1925. There are no children as a result of the union.
Mr. Owens told the Tribune this week that he would contest the suit and denied that he made the sum stated-by his wife from his business as cigar store keeper.
Was Popular In Society
Mrs. Owens was formerly Miss Maybelle Hovington and was popular in Washington society.
Mrs. Owens is employed at a local banking institution.

THE LETTER BOX
PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: It appears that many of Washington's parent-teacher associations, through indifference or ignorance, have ceased to be of value to the communities they represent. Although confronted on all sides with grave problems of juvenile delinquency and misconduct, they make no attempt to grapple with conditions which are filling the jails with youthful lawbreakers. Instead of being devoted to consideration of conditions existing among our school children, the parent-teacher meetings too often resolve into stilted programs resembling old-fashioned closing day exercises in backwoods communities. Stereotyped addresses by the principal, supervisor, or an assistant superintendent, perfunctory recitations by hand-picked pupils, and oratory by the neighborhood politician, usually comprise the proceedings of such meetings in Washington. The parents, feeling properly exalted, return home to their children—children many of whom learn to curse as soon as they could talk, who acquire the knack of throwing rocks and using knives on each other before they could toddle, and who are absolutely without moral training. The parent-teacher associations should get busy with some constructive work or disband.
Estate of Late Jos. Graves Again In Court
(Continued from page 1)
consists mainly of real estate. Encumbrances against it are less than $8,500. The unsecured debts of Mr. Graves are said to have been approximately $1,000.
"Estate Wasted"
This estate, Mrs. Connors charges in her bill of complaint, is being dissipated and wasted by Mrs. Graves.
Mrs. Connors also charges that Mrs. Graves has no interest in the estate except as its administratrix. Her step-mother, she alleges, fled two suits against Mr. Graves in the District Supreme Court on July 27, 1922, one of them being for an absolute divorce from him and the other for the reformation of certain deeds.
The two suits were dismissed July 6, 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Graves having settled their differences. An agreement which was the basis for the dismissal of the suits, was filed in the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. By this agreement Mr. Graves gave Mrs. Graves certain property and she relinquished all claims to dower in property he then owned or might afterward acquire.
Mrs. Connors says that her father and Mrs. Graves lived separately and apart after the signing of this agreement and never resumed marital relations.
Collector Appointed
Mrs. Connors consented to the appointment of Mrs. Graves as administrator of her father's estate after filing an intervening petition asking for the appointment of a collector to take charge. She explains that she did so on the assurance that the surety on her undertaking as administrator would have joint control of the estate with Mrs. Graves. Such joint control was not taken by the surety, she declares.
Mrs. Connors claims that Mrs. Graves did not file an inventory of the money and debts due Mr. Graves until the Register of Wills had issued a citation for her failure to do so. Her inventory filed April 13 last, showed assets of $648. His real estate is bringing rents of $350 a month, Mrs. Connors says. She states that she
does not know how much the monthly rent is from the property known as "Graves' Hotel." Mrs. Graves as administratrix of the estate is collecting these rents. Attorneys Harlan Wood and J. P. Donovan represent Mrs. Connors.

The sea is full of queer fish,
As strange as they can be.
And I'd not care to eat them—
They're far too queer for me.
However, I am certain
Twould be a jolly lark
To catch a cat-fish purring
Or hear a dog-fish bark.
Do star-fish ever twinkle?
They're shaped just like a star;
But they are never shiny,
No more than moon-fish are.
And when they're fighting duels
The sword-fish must appear
As strange as those old fellows
Who fought with shield and spear.
Sea-robins, too, are queer fish
That never sing a note
When you are out to hear them
While riding in a boat

WORLD FRIENDSHIP AMONG CHILDREN
At the end of next year Filipino children will receive from the children of the United States decorated "Friendship Treasure Chests" containing articles, including at least one book, which the children of this country like and which they believe their little Filipino friends will enjoy. Directions for filling and sending the boxes will be issued by October 1, of this year by the Committee on World Friendship among Children, 289 Fourth Avenue, New York, City; the latest date for returning the boxes to that address will be August 1, 1930. The treasure chests will be forwarded to the Philippines in time to be received officially on December 30, 1930, which is the national holiday in honor of Rizal, the Filipino patriot.
The Committee on World Friendship among Children has already brought about a number of friendly contacts with children of foreign nations, two of its most important enterprises being the sending of "Friendship Dolls" to Japan in 1927 and of "Friendship School Bags" to Mexico last year. The children of Japan made a graceful acknowledgement of the dolls received, by sending to the children of this country the following year a number of dolls beautifully dressed in formal Japanese costume. This time the committee has chosen a group of children, who are under the protection of the United States.
Somewhere it is always light For when 'tis morning here In some far distant land 'tis nigh And the bright moon shines there
When you are undressed and gr ing to bed
ing to be
They are just rising there.
And morning on the hills dot
spread
When it is evening there.
And other distance lands there be
Where it is always night.
For weeks, and weeks, they never
Yes, while you sleep the sun shines bright.
The sky is blue and clear
For weeks and weeks there is no night.
But always daylight there.

A BOOK FOR BOYS
ABDUL, by Winthrop B. Palmer:
The Macmillan Company. $2.00.
Abdel is an Egyptian boy of the present day and his story, though slight, will interest younger children and be suitable to read to those in the very earliest grades. It tells about Abdul's home life on his father's small farm just outside of Luxor, later his school life in Cairo where he lives in his uncle's luxurious house. It attempts to take in as many of the average nine-year-old boy's interests as is possible in such a slim volume. While the information it gives is of no great value, it is nevertheless interesting and well done, and the illustrations, while more or less commonplace, ably illustrate the text.
