You can stop them now with Creamulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creamulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creamulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and cause the cough, the creosote goes on to the stucco, which is sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. ing the year the Fund co-operated in building 326 rural elementary and high schools, 36 shops for vocational training, and 13 homes for teachers and in schools already built, 78 additional rooms were constructed. This brings the total of modern schools, shops and teachers' homes aided by the Fund to 4,729, located in 818 counties of 14 southern states. The sums given from the Fund for construction of these schools during the past year amounted to $326,450. For the same schools contributions from Negroes were $306,906; white citizens, $101,113; and public funds $2,140,386. Through these 4,729 schools, 12,594 teachers are employed and 566,730 Negro boys and girls are afforded an opportunity to receive an education.

PORO Two Killed and Two Injured In Auto Smashup (Continued from page 1) Ike Dixon's band to play for the proposed dance. The four friends and members accompanied her. The accident happened about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning while they were on their return to Washington. Miss Thornton was 33 years of age and a native Washingtonian. She lived with her mother, Mrs. Julia Thornton, and was her sole support. A cousin, Mrs. Jane Powell, also resided with them. Miss Thornton was a member of and organist for the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. She was well known in musical circles for her accomplishment on the piano. She was recently the pianist in the Howard Theatre orchestra. She graduated from Dunbar High School in June, 1921. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock Saturday morning at the Holy Redeemer Church. Widow Survives Willis Mr. Willis was an Elk and well thought of in the city. He leaves a widow Mrs. Mary Willis and a daughter Mary, 2 years old. His funeral will be held at the home, Sunday, and his body will be placed in a vault pending the recovery of Mrs. Willis. He was from Herdon, Va. Miss Lucas, who escaped unhurt, tells of her experience. She states that Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Johnson and herself were in the back seat of the car and were asleep. When she came to her senses, she felt her right foot caught and in relieving it slipped her foot out of her shoe. Mrs. Willis complained of her leg hurting and Mrs. Johnson said her teeth were out. She got out of the car and saw that Mr. Willis was dead with his head mashed. Walking around on the other side of the car, saw Miss Thornton with the steering wheel in her stomach, dead. Truck Stops She secured a lantern and tried to flag passing autoists, and for nearly an hour no one would stop. Finally a truck driver stopped, but said he could not help, but would notify the police. When the police arrived, a truck was stopped and Mrs. Willis sent to the hospital in that, and a passing autoist took Mrs. Johnson to the hospital. Miss Lucas stated that the truck was parked on the right side of the highway, unlighted, headed toward Washington, and that they ran into the rear end of it. She says it was a harrowing experience with two of her friends dead and two injured and auto after auto would pass and not even slow down, nor give any assistance. The truck bore license number C-4061, which is listed to Spiros Kopsidas, 912 Louisiana avenue, northwest, Washington, D.C. It is said that the truck had been parked there for some time and that another car collided with it about 9 o'clock Monday night. Davis Indicted by Grand Jury On Embezzlement point the former Odd Fellows head made this statement. In the indictment it is charged that Mr. Davis acting as agent for the order collected rents up until December 31, 1928, when a chec- on on the books shows a shortage. It was stated that he deposited the money belonging to the order in his own name then presented a check for the amount and later failed to deposit the check. In this way it is claimed he secured a large sum of the money. Officials of the order claim that Mr. Davis refused to turn over money to the order after the short- age was found. The present treas- urer of the order said that Mr. Davis represented the order as having $5,000 in the bank. He claimed the bank book was being balanced and used this subterfuge according to lodge officials, to keep the order in ignorance of its bank balance. Later bank officials stated that less than $200 was on deposit. The District Attorney's office has not yet fixed bond in the case. Dean Lucy Slow Addresses University Women Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women of Howard university, addressed the Philadelphia Branch of the American Association of University Women on December 5.

HOLDS MAN FOR RANDALL PUPILS GRAND JURY IN DISTRIBUTE 20 DICE MURDER BASKETSTO NEEDY Isaiah Potter, 35, 637 N street, northwest, was held for the action of the grand jury after a coroner's jury found him responsible for the death of Stanley Turner, 436 P street, northwest Wednesday morning. William Smoot, 28, 136 W street, northwest, is in Freedmen's Hospital, suffering with a wound in his groin. At a party staged by Edward Brown, Tuesday, at 1817 Ninth street, northwest, Potter became enraged when Turner won a $7 bet in a dice game. He whipped out a revolver, fired three shots, one striking Turner in the heart. He staggered out of the house and fell dead in the yard. Potter was later arrested by No. 2 police at Ninth and M streets. Police said he denied the shooting, but later confessed. He threw the gun away and it was found by Mrs. Cecelia Pratt in her back yard at 940 S street, northwest. In the testimony it was brought out that Potter had lost heavily and it was reported that he dropped over $200 in the game. He returned home, secured more money and his revolver. On returning he and Smoot became engaged in an argument. While several men and three women looked on he drew the gun and fired at Turner, who was also in the game and had won quite a sum of the money. When he found himself blocked in the house he went to the front, broke a window with the pistol, and escaped. He said he had lost considerable money at the house at different intervals and suspected the dice were loaded. He took the gun with him with the determination to inspect the dice, he said.

Members Of Local Bar Praise Judge Given Members of the Washington bar who practice in the police court are loud in their praise of Judge Ralph Given who presides in that court. Judge Given recently declared that he intended to punish police officers who are found guilty of beating prisoners in police precincts. He said if these police were found guilty, "stations would be short of men." The decisions rendered by Judge Given are fair and impartial. He metes out justice without fear or favor to all races and creeds alike. His patience and sympathetic attitude toward those brought before him have won the admiration of the entire bar.

James Goins, age 36, of 1720 V street, northwest, had been in Freedman's Hospital for four months; physicians struggled in vain to save him from the ravages of a strange disease, which had caused the pigment in his body to turn jet black, subsequently turning most of the fluid content of his body the same color.

Written Guarantee STORAGE BATTERY 6-v 11 Plate $4.95 And Old One $65.00 CASH YOUTH HELD IN DEATH OF MAN IN GANG-FIGHT "Charlie Boy" Fowler Dies Of Stab Wounds From "Bill" Dorsey A sordid tale of the underworld invoicing young married women with boy friends, and a gang fight which resulted in the death of one man and injury to several was told Monday at a coroner's inquest into the death of Charles Fowler, who died Sunday at Emergency Hospital. William "Bill" Dorsey, 18-year-old youth, was held for the action of the grand jury in the death of Fower. Sensational disclosures were to be told by "Black Mary" Vaughn, queen of the underworld. She was not put on the stand. However, Augusta "Gussie" Swanson, told of white men who have colored "lady friends" and how they with several other men beat up Dorsey in a fight at First and Canal streets, on December 3. "Charlie Boy" Stabbed "Black Friday," whose real name is Ralph Nash, told of the fight which resulted in "Charlie Boy's" (Charles Fowler's) death. It was testified that Helen Blackwell and Dorothy Lee met Nellie Nash and Augusta Swanson at First and Canal streets, and all four started a fight for some unknown cause. A vell by one of the women brought "Charlie Boy" to the scene after Dorsey had come from a nearby automobile to the rescue of Nellie Nash. In the fight between Dorsey and "Charlie Boy" the latter was stabbed in the chest near the heart. The fight was a signal for men and women in the neighborhood to flock to the scene where a free-for-all was in progress. All received bruises and cuts before police arrived. Dorsey was later arrested at 1631 B street, northwest. Fowler was taken to Emergency Hospital and died Sunday. Dr. Julia P. H.

DECEMBER 20, 1929 SCHOOL BOARD NAMES COMMITTEE ON TRADE SCHOOLS Warm Weather Permits the Magruder School to Open Again The Board of Education took two forward steps toward improving the schools of the District of Columbia Wednesday when the president, Dr. Carusi, named an advisory board of citizens to confer with the Board of Education on improving vocational education here. Dr. Carusi named the following persons who are expected to serve on the committee: John A. Colpoza, and Frank A. Cole, of the Central Labor Union; E. C. Graham, of the Board of Trade; Charles H. Lefever, of the Chamber of Commerce; Anton Stephan, of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association; R. S. Lusk, of the Approved Builder's Association; J. G. Yaden, of the Federation of Citizens Associations; Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, of the Parent-Teachers Association; A. S. Pinkoff, of the N. A. A. C. P.; A. I. Cassell, of Howard University; and Captain John E. Smith of the Government Printing Office; and J. A. G. LuValle of the Federated Civic Association. The A. B. C. Club will possibly be represented. The other step forward was the appointing of a committee of school principals and teachers to study character education and devise a plan to meet this growing problem. It is possible that a citizens committee will be named in conjunction with the school committee. Since New Year's Day falls on the first Wednesday in January, the Board will defer its next meeting until Jan. 8, 1930. Since the weather moderated, the cripple school at the Magruder building reopened Monday with 33 students. The work of connecting up the Magruder building with the Summer heating plant continues and steam heat will be available for the cripple school when the holiday vacation has ended.

In appointing an advisory committee to investigate the new vocational school plan submitted by local trade unions, the Board of Education has again completely ignored Negro business. However, it was very careful to see that the Board of Trade, Merchants and Manufacturers Association and the Chamber of Commerce were represented. This ignoring of Negro business was not necessarily the fault of Dr. Carusi, who named the committee. He simply appointed those of the Negro race whom he was advised to appoint. Dr. Carusi represented the white group and of course saw to it that his business interests were well taken care of. It is to the Negro members of the board that merited criticism must be directed. Too long have the Negro members of the board, and officials of Divisions 10 to 13, completely ignored the Negro business interests in this city. Of course, however it is to the white business men's interest that the Negro business man be ignored. Negro public school officials seem to go out of their way at times to further aid the impoverishment and annihilation of our struggling business men. None of the millions spent each year for school improvements on our schools go to Negroes engaged in business. None of the money spent for supplies is spent with the fathers of the Negro children who are being taught. Little or no recognition is given our business men in the exercises or other school activities where speakers and guests are invited. invited. If it is fair that one-third of the members of the school board should be colored, then why is it not equally fair that at least one-third of the money spent on Negro schools be spent with Negro business men? If we are to have separation in our schools, then let us have the fruits of separation. Why give the other side all of the advantages? It is largely because of the continued ignoring of our business interests, that the Negro is faced with an acute unemployment problem today. Due to the lack of development in the business field, thousands of our boys and girls have been forced to turn to teaching as a life's work. And what is the result? In Franklin School now there are on file more than five hundred applicants for teaching jobs when there are only about eight hundred teachers in the colored divisions. Every teacher in the system knows of the hundreds on the outside seeking their jobs and consequently the sycophancy in Divisions 10 to 13 is a most disgracing spectacle. Where will the relief come from? Where must these applicants for teacher jobs turn for work? The white business represented on the school board, is not opening up jobs for Negro graduates of Dunbar and Armstrong. The jobs they do grudgingly give are menial in every respect. The only relief that we can hope for in the future is from the development of Negro business so that it can absorb more and more of the graduates of our schools. The school board members and officials may think that because they are wearing rose-colored glasses everything is rosy now, but they will soon find that what they thought was a rose-tinted hue on the horizon is a dangerous black cloud of economic slavery. When will our school officials realize that their obligations to the students do not end when they are taught to read and write? CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION BUNK Whenever a Negro takes the examination for a position in the governmental departments, passes the examination, and is sometimes certified, but fails to get an appointment when he shows up in person on the subterfuge that "the place has been filled," should he make a complaint or some of his friends make a complaint and mention the few Negroes being given new jobs in the departments, the Civil Service Commission will send out a pamphlet issued during the campaign of 1928, in which is given the number of 51,825 Negroes employed by the government. But the pamphlet lets the cat out of the bag by giving the amount of money paid these people. It is set down at $52,655,950. Dividing that amount by the number employed we have the princely sum of $1,016 a year as an average for the total number employed. And Negroes were gullible enough during the Hoover Campaign to boast of the Republican Party's gratitude to the Negro by employing 51,825 of them at $1,016 a year, less than $90 a month. Is $90 a month a sum to boast about receiving? The Civil Service Commission is boasting of paying Negroes less than $90 a month for their service in the government and gives that pauper's sum as an excuse for not hiring more. The fact is that most of the Negroes employed by the government are in the lowest scale of pay, and further the commission will not certify Negroes to the better paying jobs. It is truly time that we weigh carefully those things that seem to be in our favor. We are no longer "yas, sir, Mister Boss" Negroes, but are American citizens intelligent enough to know when the other fellow is feeding us fodder with a coat of sugar over it. OUR MAIL BOX In this case, when $500,000 has been collected, then and only then, will $50,000 be appropriated by the Government for a site and plans be available. Who thinks that there will ever be raised $500,000? Who hopes that the amount will ever be raised? How can it ever be raised when we know that salaries, travelling expenses, clerk hire, and banquets are to be deducted? To whom is an accounting to be made? In your editorial you refer to moneys due to Freedman's depositors. That trost was closed by the Government in the Wilson administration and the last $1,000 divided up for presents for those who had been handling the matter in the name of the Commissioner. Congress and the President know that $500,000 will never be raised, and the $50,000 never appropriated, but they also know that the attempt will be made by our "Leaders" that a great kindness has been done the Negro. It surely has presented a great opportunity for the promoters for banquets, salaries, and the balance.

Washington Tribune Your editorial in last week's issue, "Bread and Stone," (The Negro Memorial) is commendable. It would have been more commendable had it been written months before. This memorial project reminds me that in times past, some prominent Senator offered, by request, a bill to make an appropriation to reimburse depositors in the Freedmen's Bank. The promoters had copies of the bill printed, carried them throughout the south, and charged a fee of 50 cents to register depositors' books. There were no intentions or expectations of the bill passing. The "opportunity" was to collect the fees and they were many. The fee collectors were responsible to no one.

SANTA TO VISIT SHUT-IN KIDDIES Shut-in kiddies will be remembered Christmas as the Lichtman Theatres have not only prepared a treat for those in hospitals, but kiddies without parents will be given a free show and yuletie goodies at a special performance at a morning show on Tuesday. Freedmen's Hospital and the Children's Hospital will be visited by Santa Claus Lichtman on Christmas eve and a great big doll will be left under the pillow of each little girl that has been good, and all have been good. A little girl in bed hasn't much time for mischief. Mrs. Frankie Thomas, chief clerk of the Lichtman Theatres, has a busy office force back of the stage in the theatre assorting and making up presents to distribute Tuesday. Every second a telephone call comes from Santa Claus asking about some little boy or girl who is an orphan or one confined at a hospital. Between Mrs. Thomas and old Saint Nick none of the little tots will be overlooked. As soon as night falls Tuesday Mrs. Thomas will help Santa pack his bag and away to the hospitals he will go. After saying a word of cheer to the grownups and nurses and doctors the old fellow will hurry to the children's wards and leave his presents, a doll for the giris and a bag of goodies for the boys. The Tuesday show will start at 10:30 and will be in connection with the Times-Herald. All orphans will be given a bag of eats and a show.

BURROUGHS WHY PEOPLE GO TO THE DOGS INSTEAD OF TO CHURCH Negroes have invested more money in churches than they have in any other enterprise in the world. When churches are used, properly, the people get more out of them than they do out of any other enterprise in the world. The ministers are their only welfare group for whose salaries and upkeep Negroes seem to feel responsible. Up to the last decade the Negro took the church and his religious obligations most seriously. He felt it his bounden duty to build churches and "spote" the ministry. In return for the investment in property and their fidelity to the cause, the race has millions 8 dollars tied up in churches that are shut up four-fifths of the year, run down, going to pieces, standing still, the leaders are wasting time and money, fighting, masquerading, half preaching, or preaching spurious doctrines, in th name of the Christian religion, only a very small number are doing anything like their duty in bringing the people up and out of the mire and the clay and establishing their going. The colossal waste and bad management, that is so evident in Negro Church life, would not be tolerated nor supported in any other enterprise or profession. O religion! religion! what awful and enormous waste is indulged in, in thy name. People put their money into churches for the dissemination of the truth, the regeneration of mankind, the edification of the mind and soul, the creation of a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. But from nine-tenths of our churches the people are not getting anything that approaches the spiritual and moral returns that they should get on their tremendous investments. The Bible asks "Will a man rob God?" Yes, any church that gets a dollar's worth of sacrifices and gives back a dime's worth of results is robbing God and man. That is just what every church that is shut up four-fifths of the time, run down, neglected and tolerates poor preaching and questionable living on the part of leader, represents—a dime for your dollar—in some cases, even the dime has a hole in it. Thousands of our churches are not only locked up but are left dirty and "topsy turvy" from Sunday to Saturday and are just brushed upon Saturday. This condition is due almost wholly to lazy, standardless, visionless, self-fish leaders. Able-bodied men who claim that they are called of God, sit around all the week and allow their church yards to grow up in weeds or become as bare of grass as the palms of their hands are of hair, the fences to fall down, the window lights to drop out and these men have the temerity to come to church on Sunday and preach about how industrious Paul, the tent-making preacher, was. No, don't put it on the sexton. If he is hired to keep the church clean he should be fired if he doesn't do it. He is not hired to keep the church to suit himself. Coming down to fine points the trustees and stewards are not responsible for setting up standards of physical excellence. The officers and members are responsible for providing the means and co-operating in every way possible but it is the minister's job to get results or get out. Negro churches are not living up to their trust nor opportunity. The masses have built, bought and supported the churches. In return the churches lock the people out doors all the week and hold them up on Sunday. "Feed my sheep" has come to mean "fleece my sheep." We criticise the people for going to the dogs. There is nowhere else for millions of f them to go. The churches for which they have paid are shut up. Thousands of the churches have no program. The dogs keep open house with something doing every minute in the day, three hundred and sixty-five days to the year. The churches could beat them at the game if the children of light were wiser than the children of the world. The HARMONY CEMETERY One of Washington's oldest landmarks operated by the Columbian Harmony Society. 8th St. and Rhode Island Ave., N.E., will not be moved. Rhode Island Ave. Bus Line and street cars stop at gate. It is a convenient cemetery. the ideal Cemetery, is beginning a new day. It is growing and now has a bright future. Watch This Paper for Further Announcements dogs are after the game. They stay open to catch it. The churches get their game on Sunday and turn the people over to the dogs for six days. Many church leaders take six days to get ready to give one poor performance on Sunday. The dogs have a perpetual performance —with variety. In this day of competition business and professional men stay on their jobs and keep their specific business going the entire week. Many of our preachers lock up the churches and spend their time resting or engaging in worldly business. The churches stand in the community locked up, run down, and looking lonesome. A run down church does not mean anything on earth but a run down lazy leader. Mighty plain talk, but ye shall know the truth—even if it does hurt, the guilty. Talking about the high cost of living, what about the high cost of religion? Here are millions of dollars put into buildings that are locked up and the people who made the sacrifices and paid for them have to go to other places for edification and wholesome diversion, six days of the week. Churches brag about their numbers. Numbers are nothing. Quality and not quantity counts with God. Only a handful of people are actually engaged in Christian service. The churches are not developing Christian leaders in proportion to the outlay in equipment and the opportunity for encouraging the right use of talent. The churches should be kept open and the people properly organized, trained, and put to work. That is the only way they can develop. The Bible is clear on this point. The spiritual and general gifts of the people are many and they are for use. The Bible definitely commands the church to put everybody to work, to stimulate and utilize the diversity of gifts. Read the twelfth chapter of First Corinthians. Churches under intelligent leadership can be run very much like a school and become Christian service stations. The Bible teachers would come to teach God's word, the doctors to teach health and to heal the people. The lawyer to give advice, the nurse to instruct mothers, the musician to teach music, etc., until all who have gifts are given a chance to exercise them and all idle churches and idle members are put to work. The masses would be lifted up and their investment in churches would pay in this world and in the world to come. While the ministers are asking the people, "Why stand ye here idle," the people are beginning to ask the churches and the Funeral Charges When death enters the home and you are bowed in grief, you can find a temporary respite in going over our estimate of funeral charges to see that they are fair and reasonable.

College Alumnae Club Meets Seniors of Divisions 10-13 The College Alumnae Club met the senior girls of Armstrong, Cardozo, and Dunbar in the Armstrong Auditorium, Wednesday morning. The purpose of the assembly was to arouse interest in the annual scholarship award. This award, consisting now of $200.00, is given to a senior girl on the basis of a competitive examination. On the platform were Mrs. Mary A. McNeill, member of the Board of Examination; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women at Howard University; Miss Julia Brooks, Dean of Girls at Dunbar; Mrs. Ora W. Spivey, Dean of Girls at Armstrong; Miss Jennie Mustapha, Dean of Girls at Cardozo; Miss Carrie Lee, Miss B. MacNeill, and Miss LaMerve Gregory.

If the housewife has planned this bountiful meal carefully, it need not be so burdensome as to make the day one of drudgery for her. With the marketing done several days in advance, the cakes and pies baked as many days previous as their keeping qualities will permit, with the candy made several days previous, with the turkey stuffed and dressed the day before, the salad made at the same time and both placed in the refrigerator for safe keeping, the housewife has few kitchen tasks left for Christmas day. The Christmas dinner will be a more perfect meal, if it is not too heavy. It is well to keep in mind when planning the meal that Christmas appetites are somewhat jaded due to the candies, nuts, and fruits that have gone before. For this reason let me suggest that the dinner hour be placed late in the day when family tradition forbids. Also a tasty appetizer of fruit served at the beginning of the meal will put an edge on jaded appetites. For an inexpensive Christmas menu, I would suggest grapefruit cocktail, turkey (which is very inexpensive this year) with giblet stuffings, molded cranberry sauce, string beans, sweet potatoes on the half shell with meringue on top, mashed turnips, steeped celery salad, butterthins, stuffed olives, mince pie, candies, nuts, fruit cake, and coffee. MERINGUED SWEET POTATOES Scrub sweet potatoes of uniform size. Bake 35 minutes (or until soft) in a hot oven. Cut in half lengthwise and remove pulp with a spoon. Mash and beat light with a little milk, butter, salt and beaten egg yolk. Pile lightly in shells with a fork. Make a meringue of the egg white and place some of it on each section. Place in a slow oven, 325 degrees to heat potato and brown meringue. MINCE PIE 1 Pound lean beef ½ Pound suet 2 Pounds tart apples 1½ Pounds sugar 1½ Pounds currants 1 Pound seeded raisins ½ Nutmeg ¾ Teaspoon ground mace 1 Orange 1 Lemmon ¾ Pound citron ¾ Teaspoon salt Stew the beef in a very little water until very tender. Cool and chon fine. Add the sugar, spice, lemon and orange juice and grated rind, salt, raisins, currants, apples pared, cored, and chopped, ad chopped auet. Mix thoroughly. Cool one hour. Place in an earthen jar, cover closely and keep in a cold place. Fill crust with this mixture. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for thirty minutes longer. Bake hot or cold. Add 1 tablespoon gelatin swelled in $ \frac{1}{4} $ cup cold water, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup chopped nuts, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup white grapes, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup diced celery, 1 cup sugar.

Recipe Contest and Cooking School Close For Holidays The Washington Tribune Recipe Contest closes this week until after the holidays. Recipes have poured into Mrs. Thurlow's office during the past few weeks. Christmas Candy Popular This week's recipe, Christmas candy is especially popular. Mrs. Thurlow got replies from way down in Virginia and way up in Maryland. It is gratifying to us to see our readers responding so enthusiastically to this contest. All types of candy recipes were sent in. Some of which were so expensive that it is surprising to see housewives making such great expenditures for candy. Cooking School To Recommence January-7 The cooking school has discontinued its classes until January 7. These classes, which met every Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock were popular with the colored housewives of Washington. Classes, have simply closed for the holiday, but they will open again with renewed vigor next month. All the housewives of Washington are invited. The class on Tuesday mornings is held especially for the benefit of Washington's colored housewives. This week's winners: FIRST PRIZE Rosa Blackwell 655 Morton St. N.W.

The brides included Clyde Lee, Marion Richards, Bernice Epps, Catherine Lee, Margurite Williams, Naomi Sutton, Pearl and Edith Pearson, and Gladys Sutton. The brides bringing in the largest receipts from tickets, were Clyde Lee, Bernice Epps and Marion Richards. The prettiest bride was Marion Richards and the most handsome groom James Epps.

Southern Dairies CHRISTIANS LIE, ROB AND STEAL SAYS AFRICAN Missionary Worker Speaks Before Baptist Ministers Conference Rev. E. H. Bowie, superintendent of the Baptist Mission work in Liberia, Africa, told the Baptist Minister's Conference Monday that the natives of Africa say that we give you—the christians—our children for your schools and they accept your Christ, and your schools unfits our children for our tribal life. Now what have you to give them after you educate them? He also stated that the Mohammedan is striking hard at the Christian and saying that the Christian religion permits the people to do things the Mohammedan will not do. The Christians lie, steal, rob, commit fornication and bring in venereal diseases, which the Mohammedans do not do nor did we know of these things in our native state. Wherein are you helping us? Rev. Bowie returned to the U.S. on September 4, and will soon sail again for Liberia. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church delivered a doctrinal lecture on "Why Am I A Baptist?" "I dare say," said Rev. Brooks, "we have too many churches practicing baptism, who are not New Testament Churches. The pastor too often is more of a Pope, in other churches the deacons are the ruling government." He made the emphatic statement that the New Testament Church exists for the purpose of ministering to God's poor. A committee composed of Revs. J. P. Nichols, G. Z. Brown, and J. Harvey Randolph was appointed by the vice president, Rev. A. Lewis, to look after the Christmas offering for the president, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman. Dr. Dorothy C. Boulding will be the principal speaker before the conference next Monday, December 23. Rev. W. A. Taylor, who was in Tampa, Florida last week reported that at least seven white ministers in Tampa asked for a colored minister attending the winter meeting of the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention, which met there, to fill their pulpits on Sunday the 16th. An unheard of thing in Tampa. Mrs. Irene DeNeal of Philadelphia, after spending seven weeks here with her brother, Mr. Theodore Grigsby, returned to her home this week. Foods PARENT-TEACHERS OF CLEVELAND MEET The Parent-Teachers Association of Cleveland School, Eighth and T streets, northwest, met Thursday night in the auditorium of the school. An address by Miss E. F. G. Merritt, supervising principal of the 11th division, was the feature of the meeting. In her address on Environment, Miss Merritt stated that the creature adapts itself to its environment. Our children must be placed in favorable environment, said she. The home is the place to make the most favorable impression on the child's mind. There, cleanliness must be taught the child. You cannot expect any individual to respect himself when he isn't clean. Speaking of children becoming lax in duty she said it started in the home. Late breakfast, sending the child on an errand about school time, making the child late, is the beginning of truancy and disregard for duty, time and even for law. All of the loafers standing around the corners of our streets who won't work started the habit in childhood. Folks who cannot hold a job because of always being late, learned this in their school days, said Miss Merritt. Miss E. F. Wilson, the new principal of Cleveland, was introduced by the president, Geo. F. Ray. Officers were elected as follows: Geo. W. Roy, president; Mrs. Ertina Chisholm, vice-president; Miss J. Williams, secretary; and Mrs. I. B. Garrison, treasurer. Those elected to the executive committee were R. A. Gillem, Mrs. Anna Kennison, A. H. Huff, and D. L. C. Brazier. Rev. Jernagin Speaks In Philadelphia Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, returned from Tampa, Fla., Sunday morning, in time to fill his pulpit. Um, Yum! with hot buttered toast!

The students, Leroy A. Clay and James P. Ramsey, were arrested on Monday morning of last week by Officers William McEwen and William R. Laflin, of the Eighth Precinct, on the university campus after some 50 members of the student body attempted to take the boys away from the police and a near riot was prevented by the coolness of Ramsey and Mrs. Mary Allen, teacher in physical education. Virgin Mary Judge Given heard the testimony of the officers on last Tuesday and postponed the case until Saturday at the request of Attorney George Hayes, who represented the defendants. Ramsey and Clay, as well as Mrs. Allen testified that the officers were in plain clothes and did not show their badges until the very last. Clay and Ramsey said they were going to class in Clay's car when the two officers passed them and yelled "Get out of the way you black b.... The boys retorted and told them to go to a warmer climate. After reaching the campus Ramsey got out of the machine and turned to meet the men as they had parked at the entrance to the university grounds. He said he returned to find out why the two men called them such vile names. Just as he reached Lafflin he was struck and knocked down. When he arose Lafflin again knocked him down and the two went into a clinch. Lafflin dropped his gun and Clay and Mc Ewen made a rush for it, but Mc Ewen reached the weapon first and turned it over to Lafflin who made a move to draw it on Clay who ran. Students seeing the disturbance ran to the scene and demanded the men to show their authority for arresting the boys as both police were in plain clothes and drove a car with a Virginic license.

Officer Laflin is known as the "bad cop" of the District, and his cursing and swearing at students and the term "damn nigger" was repeatedly hurled at the group. In reviewing the case Judge Given commented on the way in which the witnesses conducted themselves on the stand and praised the way in which they related their view of the affair. He said it was regretable and might have led to serious consequences. He blamed the spirit of college youth for the mob and praised Ramsey for trying to keep the students quiet although under arrest and about to be taken to jail. He also said that as long as Ramsey was on the campus he should not have returned to the car occupied by the officers as this meant he was looking for trouble. Attorney Hayes pointed out the officers were evidently looking for a fight by stopping their car at the entrance to the campus. The defense counsel called attention to the aggressive attitude of the police without showing their badges.

Holland, 206 N street, northwest, filed a petition for rule to show cause in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Wednesday. On August 29, an order was passed by the court directing the husband, Benjamin F. Holland, 530 You street, northwest, to pay Mrs. Holland alimony to the sum of $15 per month. It was set forth that this small sum was named when it was agreed that Mrs. Holland was to occupy the home at 206 N street. Not only were the installations over due, but Mr. Holland and his attorney, Peter P. Richardson, did attempt to convey the home to Mr. Richardson and an effort was made to have the Washington Six Per Cent Building Association to foreclose on the deed of trust on the property. ing merchants.

WIGGLY XMAS for road construction in Chatham county, Sanford Bates, superintendent of Federal prisons, stated in an interview last Friday. He explained that the arrangements with the Georgia Prison Commission for the assignment of these Federal prisoners to labor in the Chatham county construction camp is in no way similar to the old convict leasing system. The Federal Government is not paid anything for the labor of the prisoners, but is paying the county authorities for keeping them, he stated. The charge that only white prisoners were transferred from Atlanta to the Federal prison at Leavenworth, he said, is not substantiated by the facts. Drug addicts, both white and colored, were transferred to Leavenworth, but the larger number were white, he stated, because there are more white than colored drug addicts in Federal prisons. The question of racial discrimination would be met, he said, by the transfer of a number of white prisoners from the Atlanta Federal penitentiary to the Chatham county construction camp as soon as a dormitory to house them is completed. Judge James A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court of the District of Colombia and a member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recently visited the gesture of remembrance and at this season.

Chatham county construction camp with Mr. Bates. He found the prisoners pleased with their transfer and receiving humane treatment. Their only complaint was concerning food, and the Government has agreed to add 5 cents a day to the per capita cost of board for the prisoners in order that the quantity of their food may be increased. After the return of Mr. Bates and Judge Cobb from their visit to the Chatham county construction camp a second conference was held with Walter F. White and Captain Arthur J. Spingarn, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. According to the contract between the United States and the Georgia Prison Commission, suitable housing conditions are to be provided for the prisoners by Chatham County, either in an airplane hangar remodeled for this use or in such other suitable quarters as may be approved by the superintendent of prisons. The contract calls for adequate and wholesome prison fare sufficient to properly nourish robust men working daily in the open air. The prisoners are to be decently clothed in plain attire, not in prison stripes, but in such other distinctive, plain colored cloth as the county commissioners may determine. Corporal punishment is not to be employed in the restraint or discipline of the prisoners.

TRADE IS APPRECIATED chain or other form of shackles are not to be used without the express permission of the superintendent of prisons, and bloodhounds are not to be employed in the pursuit and recapture of escaping prisoners. The contract also states that the prisoners shall at all times be used with humaneness and firmness, and shall at once be denied any undue privileges or liberties on the one hand, and any unnecessary harshness on the other. The hours of labor, exclusive of transportation to and from the place of work and meals, shall not exceed eight hours. Recalcitrant or disobedient prisoners may be placed in isolation or in the stocks, and in the case of repeated breach of the rules, they may be returned to the penitentiary to which they were originally sentenced. In the transfer of the prisoners, Mr. Bates stated, only those prisoners were selected whose prison records were good, who were advanced at least to the second or third grade in school, who were accustomed to hard labor and were natives of Southern States. Members of Congress have entered the controversy. During the week several speeches were made condemning the practice. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, has called on the Department of Justice for copies of the contracts entered into with the Georgia County officials.

INTRODUCED HERE Would Force Organizations to Separate Insurance Departments Fraternal and benevolent organizations previously created by Congress and organized under the laws of the District of Columbia would be authorized to separate their insurance activities from their fraternal activities by an act of their supreme legislative body, subject to the approval of the superintendent of insurance of the District of Columbia, in a bill introduced by Representative Fred S. Purnell, Republican, of Indiana. Such action would be limited to organizations which maintain reserves not lower than those required by the American experience table of mortality with $3 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent interest yearly. In the event of separation, the bill would permit fraternal activities to continue unchanged and would require the insurance activities to be continued on the basis of a mutual legal reserve life insurance corporation. In the insurance organization would remain vested all the fraternal beneficial insurance held, as well as ownership or THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE EUROPEAN VIEW OF NEGRO GIVEN BY ALAIN LOCKE Speaker Says Continent Is Not Without Its Prejudices Phi Beta Sigma fraternity house entertained its largest audience of the season last Sunday afternoon, when upward of one hundred persons including professors and students, gathered to hear Dr. Alain Locke, of Howard University, lead the discussion on the subject of "The Attitude of Europeans to the Negro." Stresses World Opinion Dr. Locke began his address by stressing the importance which world opinion of the Negro has on the American attitude toward the Negro. Nothing, he said, could be more silly than the wholesale condemnation of America with regard to the Negro, or the accepting, as absolutely indicative of European attitudes, of the experiences of individual tourists, for "any country in Europe would resent, if for no other than economic reasons, the entry of ten thousand Negroes into their land." European attitudes, the speaker pointed out, are founded either on ignorance of the Negro, which makes him appear strange and hence of interest, or the fact that he offers no industrial rivalry, or on some specific reaction. "One reason the European does not hate the Negro," Dr. Locke continued, "is that he has too many other people to hate. He hates the Jew, the peasant, the urban peasant, and the people on the outside of his national fronteers. This indicates an absence of race prejudice, but not of prejudice." The speaker then outlined the attitudes towards the Negro of the foremost European powers. No Race Prejudice In England, he said, there is hardly any race prejudice, though the Negro, while he is tolerated and respected as an individual, is despised and exploited whenever he appears as a mass, as in the case of the Africans in England. Quite recently, however, there have been symptoms of a growth in prejudice, probably as a result of the influence of the colonials, Australians and New Zealanders. In France there exists, he said, a sentimental love for the Negro, probably due to the fact that the earliest members of this race to settle there were regarded as luxurious toys, and not as pack horses.

Negro workers will picket the offices of the Upholsterers and Linoleum Layers Union in protest against the action of the officials of Local 70 of that organization in refusing to admit Negro workers. Business Agent Warrick, a socialist party member, denied John H. Jones, a Negro worker in the trade the right to become a member. This announcement was made last night by Richard B. Moore, at a mass meeting called by the American Negro Labor Congress at St. Luke's Hall, and the Negro workers there voiced their determination to make this act of labor faker Jim Crowism something for the reactionaries among the upholsterers to regret for a long time.

A. gymnasium. With Smith, who played a fine game; Hopkins and Shamuell heading their attack, the teachers gained an early lead and at the half were in front, 47 to 7. Starting the second half, however, the "Y" Big Five led by Captain Fred Slade, who got a pretty floor goal, stepped out in vigorous style to gain the lead. The "Y" then put on a spurt that swept it to victory. Three goals from scrimmage by Jones and two by Brady and Jefferies put the "Y" in front. From this stage the lead constantly increased. The freezing of the ball by the "Y" tossers completely broke up the Miner Normal defense and Hill and Jefferies broke through for basket after basket. Jefferies took scoring honors for the "Y", registering 20 points. Jones and Brady registered 8 points each. Aside from the high caliber of play by Slade and Vann, the guards, Catson, Brown and Anderson, played clever basketball. Totals. 22 8 471 Totals. 9 8 26 Referee- Govinton. Umpire- Mire. Tibbs.

JUNIORS WALLOP PHELPS The "Y" Junior basketball team continued its winning streak for the season by defeating the Phelp's Trade school second team Monday, December 9, by the score of 23-7, in the "Y" gymnasium.

"If you want to get the whole-hearted co-operation of the Haitian people, there should be appointed on this commission of seven at least two outstanding colored American citizens," declared Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, of New York. Race Question "It would be very unfortunate to inject the race question into this problem," stated Representative George Huddleston, Democrat, of Alabama, who led the opposition. "The strange thing about the Haitian situation," he said, "is that we find here upon this floor men who are the spiritual and political Gonzalez Whitle, Leading Lady, uses and recommends Exelento Preparations.

The Negroes of Haiti have had 120 years of experience in self-government." In the members' gallery while Mr. DePriest spoke were his wife, Mrs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, wife of the first assistant superintendent of public schools in the District of Columbia, and Morris Lewis, secretary to Mr. DePriest. It was the first time in 28 years that a colored person had spoke on the floor of the House. His remarks were applauded to the Republican side of the House. Mr. DePriest said: "I occupy a peculiar position on this particular question. There have been so many contradictory statements on both sides of the House, it does appear to me that we should all vote to appoint this commission. Want Enlightenment "Most members of the House are not familiar with the conditions in Haiti, like myself, and we all want enlightenment from a commission that will make an impartial investigation. "I was very much pleased at the suggestion made by the gentleman he recommended that one or two from New York (Mr. Fish) when members of the commission should be from the racial group that I am identified with, and I am not surprised to hear other gentlemen object to it. The "Haitian people consist of about two and a half million black people and about 125,000 or 130,000 belong to the educated class, and what the people of America wish is that the opinion of the great mass of the common people be ascertained, so that the President can more correctly carry out the program of America in wishing to help these people become capable of self government. Appreciates Work "I appreciate also the great work that has been accomplished since we have occupied that country since the year 1915, along general improvements in every respect, and I am very glad to see the gentlemen on the minority side of this House so very solicitous about the condition of the black people in Haiti. I wish to God they were equally solicitous about the black people of America. We in America would like in some of the States of this country to have the right of self-determination also. The people of Haiti should have the right of self-determination under the broad principles laid down by our Constitution and under the theory adopted during or about the time of the settlement of the World War, when every group of people in the world, it was stated, should have the right of self-determination. "This should apply to Haiti and also to every other class of people that God's sun shines on, and I am glad to see the gentlemen on the 2,000 have joined WINGS CL NOT E OF THE CLASSES LISTEN CLASSES AMOUNT TO k.

From their talk I am led to believe they want to help the Haitian people and I am going to take it at its face value, and I have confidence that the gentlemen who are talking against this resolution believe that the Haitian people should have a square deal so far as America is concerned. "I know our Government is not there to exploit that island Republic, like every other Member of this Congress ought to know. They were not sent there for that purpose.

I shall vote against both amendments when offered, for I have the utmost confidence in the present Executive in the White House. [Applause.] I think he is one of the best-qualified Presidents this country has ever had [applause], and I am perfectly satisfied that he simply wants to give the people of Haiti the best that this administration is capable of giving them and he wants the enlightenment that such a commission can bring to him. **Assis for Negro** "I appreciate the benefit of appointing a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti that will have the utmost respect and confidence of all the people of that island, and I know of nothing that will instill more confidence in these black people down there than for them to know that they have one at least who can sympathize with them through bonds and ties of blood and kin; and I shall not make any special recommendations as to who the Negro on the commission should be, but I do hope the President will see to it in his wise judgment to get some man of outstanding ability, capable and competent, especially representing the group I am identified with, that will be a credit to America and do justice to both America and Haiti. We have no right to ask for anything more. "I shall not, perhaps, take all the time yielded to me, but I am carrying out the wishes of the people identified with my racial group all over this country. I have received hundreds of telegrams asking me to support this resolution and to sustain the President in his desire and wish to appoint this commission. For Face Value "I further wish to call the attention of the House to the fact that the President made this request in his message before the unpleasant incident that just happened down in Haiti. So he knew conditions were not like he would wish them, and he evidently wanted information outside of the military channels that we have there now, so that he could view the thing from the broad standpoint of a humanitarian, and I am satisfied that every Member of this body wishes to do the thing that is going to do the greatest good to the greatest number of people in Haiti whether they vote for this resul- 0 our LUB YOU?

From their talk I am led to believe they want to help the Haitian people and I am going to take it at its face value, and I have confidence that the gentlemen who are talking against this resolution believe that the Haitian people should have a square deal so far as America is concerned. "I know our Government is not there to exploit that island Republic, like every other Member of this Congress ought to know. They were not sent there for that purpose. They were sent there for a President who was a member of the minority party now and because he thought conditions warranted occupation. Of course, the marines in Haiti may have committed some wrongful acts, I do not know; but that was done individually, it was not the purpose or policy of the American Government. I know that military rule at the best is harsh, not only there but every other place in this world; but this commission after making its investigation, I am satisfied it will consist of men of such caliber that they will bring in an impartial report whether it is with America or against America. [Applause.] "Mr. Chairman, I am going to ask permission to extend my remarks in the Record by publishing an article I saw in last Sunday's New York World, which I think explains the situation better than I am capable of explaining it. I ask unanimous consent to do this, Mr. Chairman." MEDICAL CENTER TO COST $3,000,000 PLANNED IN ILL. CHICAGO. Ill. (ANP)—With one and three-quarter million dollars in hand, the board of directors of the Provident Hospital and Training School, will launch a drive here Friday evening for $1,250,000 to raise the necessary $3,000,000 for the establishment of the Greater Provident Hospital. Julius Rosenwald and the Rockefeller Foundation have become interested in the project which bids fair to give to Chicago one of the most up-to-date hospitals and the greatest medical centers, as far as Negroes are concerned in the world. The Rockefeller Foundation has already contributed one million dollars and the Rosenwald Fund is responsible for the three-quarter million dollar gift. The need of such an institution has been greatly felt for sometime and the establishment is being hailed by citizens of both races as the beginning of a new era in the medical world with regard to the Negro professional man. Through the new institution, which will be located at Fifty-first street and South Parkway, physicians and surgeons from all sections of the country will be afforded post-graduate training and young women in the profession of nursing. The institution will be affiliated with Chicago University and will specialize in the training aspect as well as serve to furnish adequate and modern hospitalization for Negroes. The staff will be composed of the most competent men available and many of them will be given fellowships for study abroad. Unemployment Discussed Sunday By Club The Men's Club of Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church considered economic problems and unemployment of Negroes Sunday afternoon. The meeting was addressed by Thomas H. R. Clark, who stated that the inspiration to organize new trailing companies is the employment of more of our people. He criticised commercial enterprises which cater to the trade of Negroes but will not give them employment, except in menial capacities. He outlined the plans of an organized effort to be launched here this week. He read a list of stores here and in Baltimore which he said did not want Negro trade, as demonstrated by their attitude in failing to employ Negroes. East Arlington Volunteer Fire Company Gets Pumper A 500-gallon triple combination pumper has been assigned to the colored fire company of East Arlington, Va., by the supervisors of Arlington county. The new apparatus is to be delivered by January 1, according to Chief George L. Vollin, Jr. This organization has the distinction of being the first company of its kind in the state of Virginia and was incorporated in 1925. The company has saved many thousands of dollars in lives and property since it originated. A new house costing $1,500 is new being completed on Roosevelt avenue. Pleasant Plains Civic Association Meets The Pleasant Plains Civic Association met Friday night at the Bruce School. Election of officers was the principal feature of the program. S. J. Murray was elected president. Francis C. Johnson, vice president; J. W. Ross, secretary; Lawrence Hawkins, financial secretary; J. H. Campbell, treasurer; and R. C. Hill, chaplain. The next meeting will be held January 10, 1930. REP. FISH ASKS APPOINTMENT OF NEGRO ON COMM. Says It Is Essential to Secure Cooperation Of Haitians President Hoover was urged by Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., Republican, of New York, last Thursday, to appoint at least one colored person on the proposed commission to investigate conditions in Haiti with a view to formulating a more definite policy as to the attitude of the United States toward that republic. He assured the President, Representative Fish said, that he was in sympathy with his recommendation for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the occupation and administration of Haiti, and report back with a constructive program or policies which will prepare the educated Haitians to establish a representative, responsible and orderly government by 1936 when American marines and officials will be withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the treaty. Mr. Fish said that it is essential to secure the co-operation and confidence of the educated Haitians and to give them immediately an important voice in the administration of their governmental affairs. He stated that he hopes a civilian high commissioner, who not only is in sympathy with the Haitian people, but who also could help solve their difficult political and economic problems, would be appointed in the near future. Representative Fish urged that the President appoint at least one well known colored American on the proposed commission and suggested the names of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, James Weldon Johnson, author and secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Representative DePriest. He expressed the belief that each of them is qualified, and has the confidence of the 12,000,000 colored American citizens who are interested in the solution of this difficult and delicate problem which the United States has in Haiti. "Narrow-Minded, Bigoted Un-American Prejudice," Says DePriest Refusing to serve on the committee on Enrolled Bills, with Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, Congressman Miles C. Algood, Democrat, Alabama, resigned from the committee, saying that it was an honorary committee but it lost its honor for him when DePriest was made a member of it. Mr. DePriest was out of the city when this occurred and upon his return he made this terse statement: "Who cares? I congratulate the Committee on being rid of the gentleman, and my only regret is that he did not complete the good work by resigning his seat, thereby reducing the display in Congress of that narrow-minded, bigoted, unAmerican prejudice that occasionally comes from a small handful of its members."
