SWALLOWS POISON CHIEF JUSTICE IN ATTEMPT TO TAFT ATTENDS TAKE HIS LIFE NUGENT RITES Little Hope Held For Youth Who Tried To Commit Suicide Cheloir McDow, Howard University student and junior in the College of Liberal Arts, attempted to take his life Christmas day by swallowing four bichloride mercur tablets at his rooms, 1919 Thirteenth street, northwest. Only the quick action of a friend, M. Hill prevented McDow from carrying out his purpose. He was rushed to Emergency Hospital after being administered first aid by Emergency ambulance doctors. McDow refused to state why he attempted to take his life. He is in a serious condition at the hospital and little hope is held for his recovery. According to Mrs. Marie Powell from whom McDow rented a room at the Thirteenth street address, "Mack" as he was called, became despondent several days ago when he failed to receive a sum of money from, is parents in Shreveport, La. A registered letter with the money came Thursday, 24 hours after the youth tried to commit suicide. On Christmas eve he received a package from home with a cake, but he seemed disappointed when he learned it was only a cake and told Mrs. Powell "I want bucks." After calling on a friend early in the day he returned to his room about six o'clock. He told Mrs. Powell he was ill and went to his room and locked the door. He called a boy friends and told him he (McDow) was about to do something that would surprise all. The friend rushed over and tried to enter the room. With the assistance of Mr. Power the door was broken in and McDow was foued in a serious condition. He refused to permit members of the family to give him first aid and tried to rush into the street to avoid being treated. When th ambulance arrived he told doctors he had swallowed four tables and asked if he had taken enough. It was thought the boy became despondent when he learned that he had failed in his studies, but the Howard registrar's office stated that there was no way for him to find this out. It is understood that his parents are wealthy and their son had never lacked money. There was no love affair and his friends are at a loss to account for his action.

PRUDENTIAL CLUB MAY GET MORE THAN 2500 M'BRS The inaugural of the Christmas Savings Club by The Prudential Bank has proven a profitable venture for this bank. Quite a number of people who were members of clubs in the down town banks soon learned how convenient the uptown banks were for Christmas Savings and the advertising the Prudential has put out has brought in exceptionally happy returns. Miss Julia Smith in charge of the Christmas Savings Club stated that the membership had passed the 2,000 mark and she hoped to reach 2,500 by New Year's Day. Many new accounts were opened Thursday, the day after Christmas, which proves that everybody did not use all of their available cash in making Christmas "whoopee." Of the $7,500,000 in Christmas Savings distributed here on December 1, much of it went for Christmas cheer and some of it went back into the banks to open new accounts. At the rate the Prudential Savings Club is growing and considering the average person's deposit of more than one dollar, the prospects are that the club will run far above $100,000 before distribution day.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929 EXHIBIT ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD The Christmas Exhibit at the Margaret Murray Washington Vacational School for girls, on O street, northwest, Thursday night from 7:30 t to 10, attracted quite a throng of parents, teachers and friends. Miss L. C. Randolph, the principal, said that she was agreeably surprised with response of the public to inspect the various exhibits and see the demonstrations. The costume display attracted all of the women and quite a few of the men, who furnished the sinews for costume purchasing. Exclamations of pleased surprise were heard from nearly every woman who entered. Mrs. Burrell's room where the bride's trousseau along with street frocks and evening gowns were on display. The model apartment, the cafeteria service, with fruit cakes and candies, the lamp shades and pillows, the millinery and the cleaning and dyeing rooms vied with each other in popularity with the hundreds who passed thru the school Thursday night. A Christmas dinner for 25 cents per plate attracted many people. An old fashion exhibition of songs, recitations and music with the pantomining of a tennis game held a capacity crowd in the much too small assembly hall. All of the candy and fruit cake on display was sold before 9 o'clock. Miss Randdlph expressed her appreciation for the hearty cooperation of those present and asked that each person become interested to the extent of endeavoring to interest the girls here who are not trained for a given position to investigate the opportunity offered by the Margaret Washington vocational school. She stated that the enrollment is 220 while the capacity will accommodate 400 girls. The next term starts February 3, 1930 and would be happy to have 400 girls register on that date. She announced that the cafeteria is opened to the public in order to give the girls in this department practical experience in cafeteria operation. TOYS DISTRIBUTED BY SCHOOL BOYS TOYS DISTRIBUTED BY SCHOOL BOYS The department of manual training in the elementary schools of divisions 10 to 13 held a toy display at the Abby Simmons school on DeFries street, Wednesday, December 18, from 2 to 4:30 p. m. The 20 eachers and 725 children of the Douglass-Simmons group, of which Miss Eva Chase is principal visited the display room where more than 250 toys were on exhibition. The toys were all handmade by the boys of the 6th brade in the various schools and were assembled here by the directors of this work, O. W. Mc Donald, with Capt. L. P. Robinson in charge of the work in the Douglass Simmons group. Parents and friends who visited the display were surprised at the various kind of toys which their sons made. Animals and birds, as models, predominated along with wagons, carts, household utensils and coasters. This work started during the world war, for employment of children in the Junior Red Cross and has grown to its present size, said Mr. Mc Donald. He also stated that this display had met with more popular approval than it had in recent years, and that the outlook for next year's products is quite encouraging. Some of the toys were sent to the Cripple School and the rest distributed among the less favored children for Christmas cheer. Dr. Stephen J.

'SEPIA VAGABONDS' HAS MANY ARTISTS "Sepia Vagabonds," the stage attraction at the Howard this week, is without a doubt the greatest show of its kind on the road. More outstanding artists appear in this production than any other on the stage. Russell Wooding's "Great Day" singers composed of 16 voices is one of the finest choruses ever to appear here. Every number rendered by this chorus was well received by a large audience at each performance. The "Virginia Four", the harmony kings, set the house wild with their singing. The quartette is composed of S. H. Gray Miles, Frank Jackson and E.Ray. The chorus of 14 girls was an attraction in itself. Their costumes were novel and brilliant. Such noted stars as Julia Moody, Elouise Bennett, Elizabeth Smith, Sam Gray, Bobby Syphax, George Battles, last two from Washington, Alex Lovejoy and host of others make this one of the best shows seen here in many a day. Essie Love Green, a Washington girl, scores in her dramatic recitation Robinson Surrendered ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Attorneys William McKinley Murray and T. M. Watson surrendered James Robinson to the police authorities on Saturday night, who was charged with shooting at Policeman Charles Jones on June 30, 1929. The policeman alleges that Robinson, who ran by a red stop light on this night, when called to halt, continued to drive on, and that he persuaded the car, firing his pistol in the air to make Robinson halt, and that Robinson fired back at him. Jones thought the car contained liquor, and when he caught up with the car after a search, found nothing. Robinson thinks Jones was disappointed in not finding the liquor, and since it was shortly after the Kid Lilly shooting, he would play upon public sentiment and charge Robinson with shooting at him. Robinson was never arrested before. THEATRE HEAD SAYS "TALKIES" ARE JUST A FAD R. B. Shelton, manager of the Walker Theatre, Indianapolis, thinks "talking pictures" are just a fad and will go like other fads within a period. In a letter to S. H. Dudley, Washington theatre owner and producer, Mr. Shelton says the "talkies" have put the Negro actor on the map and the singing, dancing, and speaking stage will come into its own if more good shows were available. His letter follows: "I read your article of recent issue, I will say that I have been managing the Walker Theatre, Indianapolis, Indiana, for about 15 weeks, after a sojourn in New York City, for one year. "I can say without contradiction, the house is in a healthy condition; there has been an increase in attendance, and naturally an increase in the box office receipts. "I claim with the coming of the 'Talkies' it has put the Negro on the map. There are fifteen or twenty Negro theatres available for good clean road shows. These theatres should all be making money. What is the answer? We have the producers and the talent all "Rarin' To Go." "During my sojourn in New York, with many of the producers and musicians, such as Irvin Miller, Miller and Lyle, Shelton Brooks, Edgar Martin, Gallie Gaston, Addison Carey, Jimmie Marshall, Tutt and Whitney, Joe Jordan, Fletcher Henderson, Duke Elinterested, I find complaints are interested. The complaints are many, some wrong, but a great many right. "The owners and managers should get together and come to some working agreement whereby we can get Better Shows. "There are a few good shows on the road, but not enough to keep our houses open for a season. With the coming of the "Talkies" and radio, we can attract the attention of these new theatre goers, by giving them something worth while. A fad lasts for a while, but the real thing goes on forever. The singing, dancing, and speaking stage, will come into their own through the making and production of good shows.

Roberts and wife, was host Tuesday afternoon to 200 of the less fortunate fathers and mothers of Washington, gathered in the chapel to receive well filled baskets for Christmas dinners, which the Salvation Army had prepared for them. Following a musical program and appropriate ceremonies, Mrs. Roberts passed out the first basket and the procession continued until the 200 baskets, filled with groceries and a chicken for a dinner for six persons, were given out. At 7:30 P.M., Tuesday, the youngsters gathered around the tree in the chapel and received their presents; toys of all kinds, skates, footballs, checkers, Indian suits, wagons, and dolls, cedar chests, manicuring sets, embroidery needle sets, drums, aeroplanes and whatnot. 200 tickets were issued and only boys and girls holding tickets were admitted. Speaking of the work being done there Mrs. Roberts said that Washington is a beautiful city but Oh there is so much suffering here. She stated that they had beds for 128 men and all were filled and that they had to use the assembly hall during these cold nights. Three overcoats were supplied to men Tuesday. She also stated that while they supplied hot soup at night, that they issued from 15 to 20 meal tickets every day.

There is also too much sameness and pilfering. I can see money slip through the fingers, for the lack of vision, tact and cooperation. "Why can't we get together in the near future, and at a place designated, form a program to put everything on a sound working basis and correct this condition? I feel that we can interest the producers, and talent, make it worth while to put out real units. Would appreciate a reply and comment." $ - ALWAYS HAVE LUCK! - $ Unhickey in Money ness?

J. A. G. Lu Valle Since the New year will have entered history before our next issue we herewith present our annual review of conditions affecting the darker races of the world. The manifest unfairness of the dominating white man throut the world, in dealing with his brother of color, has developed suspicion and distrust which will take years to eradicate. The fact that the dominant white race has professed Christianity and practiced barbarism in its dealing with the subjected peoples only widens the distrust. Racial consciousness is becoming world wide and dissatisfaction of the darker races is on the increase. In Africa The native Africans are making strides in arousing sentiment against British oppression, especially in South Africa where it is worse than American peonage—if that is possible. King George has been receiving the African Kings at various times during 1929 and the treck to Buckingham Palace has been regular and notable. The Kingdom of Abyssinia, with 10,000,000 inhabitant and a member of the League of nations has been recognized this year by England accepting her Ambassador in the person of Nagadras Makonnen. There is at Howard University Prince Hosea K. Nyabankgo, who, this year, refused the crown of Uganda, East Africa. In Liberia Bishop Matthews of the A. M. E. Zion Church erected a school about 100 miles from Monrovia and has started another one in the Gold Coast Province, West Africa. In India M. K. Gandi has been rather quiet while his "All Indian Committee" is quietly working on its program arousing the natives. The Hindoo and Mohammedan religions have the natives almost hopelessly deded, which works to England's advantage. However, thru boycoting of English products which begun eight years ago, continues. The demands of Japan for a 10-10-7 rating in naval power over its present 5-5-3 standing is evident of increased consciousness in that country. She will be a member of the proposed arms conference soon to convene in Europe. While internal wars have been in progress in China for the past two years, she is making progress toward peace and the recent flare up between China and Russia will soon turn to normal. in Morocco the natives are chaf under the iron heel of Great and there may be an upris in that little country that may that in 1921. In America America there are many real problems that are causing some concern. The Haitian situation has prompted the President to ask for a commission t investigate the misrule of the U. S. Marines there. Several members of Congress are against American occupation of Haiti. The resolution offered in Congress some years ago to give the Virgin Islands recognition and citizenship continues to lie dormant in the Senate Committee, while the 25,000 inhabitants are regretting the transfer from the Danish to American government. The Philippines are strenously demanding their independence and found some relief when Gov. Wood's death brought them a new Government. Mexico has improved some the past year by the sending of Ambassador Morrow to represent the United States. A new President was elected (?) and installed during the present year. Economic The 15,000,00 Negroes in this country represent a nation and the congested areas in the larger cities offer the best opportunity for business that can be found anywhere. Racial consciousness is being aroused in some of the larger cities with Chicago as the outstanding example. The "Whiip's" campaign on the principle of "Do not trade where you cannot work," is bearing telling results and more than 1,000 Negroes have been placed in white business establishments in the Negro section on the Southside. Another feature of the year is the merger of the St. Luke's Bank and Trust Co., of Richmond, Va., with the second Street Savings Bank of the same city, with Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, the first woman in the United States to be president of a bank, as chairman of the board of directors of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Co., which will open under that name on January 2, with a capital of $75,000 and surplus of $50,000 and $5,000 in undivided profits, with approximately 7,500 depositors. The Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, elected W. H. C. Brown president this year. It had a capital of $50,000 and resources of $530,260.80. The National Benefit Life Insurance Co., of Washington, D. C., remains the largest financial institution of the race with resources over $6,000,000. The Douglass National Bank of Chicago, with more than $2,000,000 in resources, is the largest bank. The Knights of Pythias with nearly $12,000,000 in resources is the strongest fraternal order in the country. Wm. Green, president of the A. F. L. issued the statement this year that Negroes are welcome to enter his organization. Insurance The merger of the Supreme Life and Causalty Insurance Company with the Liberty Life and Northeastern Life Insurance Company into the Supreme Liberty Life, with its headquarters in Chicago, can be chronicled as a feature for the year. The entering of the old line or ordinary field by the Southern Aid Society of Richmond is worthy of note. Its capital and surplus on its last report showed $484,499.02; its assets were $999,333.75, with a premium income of $777,225.66. The saving to the race of the Whitelaw Hotel, in Washington, by the purchasing of it at auction for $135,000 by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is a feature. The saving of the Masonic Temple at 10th and U streets, northwest, in Washington, by the officers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., is certainly a feature of service to the race. The HOT CAKES AND HOT BISCUITS ALWAYS AT THEIR BEST WHEN SERVED WITH Real Alaga Cane Syrup The number of our readers learning of the "JOY" that comes from using Real ALAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Cakes and Hot Biseuits is ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pumpkin Pies, Cookies, etc., "fit for a King," are made with ALAGA Cane Syrup. Regular shipments are now being received in Washington, right from where the Sugar Cane grows, to meet the rapidly increasing demand. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant boiled down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small portion of corn syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. Yes! It is higher than ordinary syrups, but not half as much as maple syrup; whereas it is among the choicest of table and fancy baking syrups. Nevertheless, it has a flavor all its own. Ask your grocer for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. If he does not have it the following stores can supply you till his shipment arrives: M. Rukunstein, 1100 3rd St. Silverman, 98 L St. J. Breck 101 L St. H. Silverman 1101 New Jersey Ave. Sam Chevioir 219 L St. Sam Rotbart 640 L St. H. Haleen 317 K St. C. A. Compton 401 I St. I. Jacobson 114 H St. J. Kaplan 722 4th St. S.

Naiman 1501 1st St firm of Daniel M. Gray and John T. Risher handled the transaction. When we realize that this proposed temple stood with the frame up for three years, then a story was completed and another two years elapsed and finally it was roofed and remained unfinished for months, if we but knew what depreciating effect it had upon Negro effort and enterprise here in the District, this temple of inefficiency, we might be able to appreciate the real service rendered the race when the officers of National Benefit took it over and made it possible to finish it and have it occupied. The Press A notable feature in the progress of the race this year is the improvement of the Negro press. The Pittsburgh Courier erected and entered its building with new Equipment and press, which means the transfer of about $50,000. A year from the white to the colored printing trade. The Journal and Guide of Norfolk, Va., installed a new two-color press this year. The printing of the news feature section of the colored papers was shifted from Chicago to the Afro in Baltimore. The improved make up, the raising of standards by news, pertinent editorials and increased circulation is placing the colored newspapers in favorable light. They have been read and quoted by the white press more this year than ever before. Congressman Oscar DePriest is our best news copy this year. In Education In Education The outstanding feature in Education was the merger of Atlanta University, Morehouse College and Spellman College into one university under one president. John Hope heads the merged schools. The establishment of the Teachers' College in Washington by the District Board of Education, to supercede the Minor Normal School marks a big improvement in educational facilities and the influence it will wield as a free college. Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, finished raising her endowment of $500,00. Talladega College of Talladega, Alabama, was offered $500,000, for an endowment fund, by the General Education Board, provided the school should raise a like amount. Three Deans were installed at Howard University; Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, Dean of the School of Medicine; Dr. Arnold B. Donowa, Dean of the School of Dentistry; and Dr. E. P. Davis, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. E. E. Just, noted Biologist of Howard, was granted a five year leave for research and study in foreign countries. He spent several months in Italy and France this year but is at home at present. Germany will be the next country to be visited by Dr. Just. The appointing by Congressman DePriest of Alonzo S. Parham to West Point and of Charles Wier to Annapolis Naval Academy created the biggest sensation in education of the year. While Wier passed the academic test but failed the physical test on his eyes, Parham made the grade at West Point, entered there July 1, and has remained to date. He is the first Negro to enter West Point since 1918, when J. B. Alexander of Ohio matriculated there and remained only 4 months. The colleges report capacity enrollment and more than 14,000 Negroes are enrolled in the various colleges. This would give about 15 Negroes in college to every 10,000 of population while there are 90 whites in College to every 10,000 in population. Religion At the last setting of the general conferences of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches in Chicago and St. Louis, respectively, organic union of the two Methodist churches was agreed upon, and this year the various annual conferences of the two denominations have voted upon the union. So far only two of the annual conferences of the A. M. E. Church have failed to endorse it. The next and final step is for the local churches of the denominations to endorse the union and we will then have a stronger Methodist Church with 30 bishops and all of the schools of the two denominations under one board. The Baptist's continue to hold this unnecessary, expensive, annual National Conventions plus two equally as expensive and unnecessary Annual National Sunday School Conventions. The Catholies are making progress among Negroes. Political The seating of Congressman Oscar DePriest on April 15, 1929', in the House of Congress at its extra session, was a notable event. His first act of importance was the appointing of Alonz S. Parham to West Point and naming of Charles Wier to the Naval Academy. He will make two more appointments in March. Mr. DePriest made his maiden speech in the House in support of a bill for the appointing of a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti, on December 18th. The appearance of the Congressman's wife, Mrs. Oscar DePriest. e Foods at a Congressional tea given by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, created the sensation of the year in politics. This being an off year in national elections, the main feature this year was the race made by Hubert Delaney, of New York City, for Congress in the 21st district. Altho he lost to his Democratic opponent, his race this year will make it easier for the next colored man to enter the field. Harlem elected two men for the State Legislature in November, Lamar Perkins, a young lawyer; and Francis E. R. rivers, son of Rev. David F. R. rivers, of Washington. Two aldermen were elected in Harlem, Fred R. Moore, veteran editor of the New York Age and C. H. Hawkins. In Cleveland the race gained a notable victory by the election of Mrs. Mary B. Martin to the school board. She is the first person of color to be elected to the Board of Education in Cleveland. Three colored men were elected as aldermen in Cleveland. Lawrence O. Payne, who is filling Thomas Flemmings place; Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, the hero of the East St. Louis riot; and Clayborne George. Miles Heights, Ohio, is a little city just outside of Cleveland and upon the death of the Mayor, D. H. Von Bergen on February 2, 1929, Arthur H. Johnson was sworn in to succeed him. At the November election, Mr. Johnson was elected for the regular term of office and this is a town of 4,700 people, largely white. At Cadiz, Ohio, W. H. Lucas was elected town clerk for the 25th time. In Detroit, five Negroes were elected as constables. In Cincinnati, two colored men ran for aldermen, Frank A. B. Hall was eighth on the list, with 6,750 votes, in a field of 24. George W. Conrad was 20th with 1,262 votes. At the August primary for State Legislature in Louisville, Ky., J. H. Brown was counted out for a non-de-script white man, who ran on the Republican ticket and was elected in November by Negroes voting for him. Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Robert Chares saved 20 lives at Cleveland Hospital when an explosion let out deadly gas and more than a hundred people were killed. He placed a ladder on his shoulders to reach a third story window and held it there until 10 persons descended, saving their lives. He then dragged and carried 10 others from gas filled rooms. Mound Bayou, Mississippi, celebrated its 42nd anniversary in July. It is the oldest colored town in the United States, while Boley, Oklahoma, is the largest. Geo. E. Parker, of Washington, D. C., a dining car waiter, was a member of the jury which found Ex-Secretary Fall, of the Interior Department, guilty of accepting a bribe. There were 8 men and 4 women on the jury. Alice Kip Rhinelander sued her father-in-law for $500,00 for alienation of her husband. It is pending. The Supreme Court of West Virginia rendered a decision in the library case, where colored citizens were denied admittance to the library in Charleston. Judge Maxwell said: "The governing body of a public library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or previous condition of servitude." Jules Bledsoe in the Verdi opera "Aida" in January, in New York City, with a white company supporting him. This is the first appearance of a Negro in this field. While the Chicago Whip is bending every effort for advancement of the race in Chicago, particularly in securing employment in white business establishments, The Defender has an all white crew in its mechanical department and thereby gives the lie to its own object for existence. As long as The Defender employs its white crew in the mechanical department, it is a liability to the race. The lost of the amusement field to the Negroes of the East from Boston to Norfolk, Va., marks a distinct liability. Um, Yum! with hot buttered toast! Such deliciousness does not have to be described. We leave it to your taste to decide. Schindler's fresh roasted Peanut Butter Necrology The death last week, of Rev. John E.

C., for the purpose of selecting and calling a new pastor to fill the vacancy left by the former pastor, Rev. L. E. Keiser who recently resigned to take charge of a church in Plainfield, N. J. The Deacon Board of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, presented to the church two names for consideration as pastor; one of which was the Rev. W. A. Randolph of Shiloh Baptist Church, 9th and P streets, northwest, Washington, D. C. Upon a motion duly seconded and carried, the church proceeded with the election and as a result Rev. W. A. Randolph was unanimously chosen. The moderator, Deacon George F. Pollard, declared Rev. Randolph the newly elected pastor of Walker Memorial Baptist Church. The Rev. W. A. Randolph, by reason of his theological training and his wide experience in the gospel ministry, is well qualified to assume charge of this well known and growing church.

NURSE JOIN PUBLIC IN DISTRIBUTING CHEER AT HOSPITAL By R. W. Sorrell Santa Claus found life strangely entwined with joy and pathos in the capital city when he drove into our snow covered confines on his annual visit. A lot of the usual home coming and home going was attended with sorrow, due to the death of an unusual number of prominent and useful citizens. A sad incident was experienced by Miss Idea O. Tyler f Roanoke, Va., a graduate of Howard, class of '28. She came to the city from studies at Columbia University to find her sweetheart, John Jackson, a junior medical student at Howard, dying. She was just recovering from the recent deaths of both her mother and father. Jackson later succumbed. Old Santa was not lacking however in his usual personal attention to the kiddies. The glamour of the season's greetings from the pleasant faced old gentleman, pierced even the hospital wards. Many schools, physicians, churches and merchants saw that Freedmen's Hospital particularly was well provided for. Gifts of all discriptions found their way to the various patients. Small groups of carol singers stood in the cold outside the institution during the wee hours of the morning softly singing through the night air to those within. A unique feature of Christmas at the hospital was the candle light procession through the various wards by the entire staff of student nurses. Many patients sat up and wept with happiness as softly blended voices from the throats of the little sisters of mercy sang "Peace on Earth, good will toward men." WITS PRE-HOLIDAY DANCE The Henry residence at Deanwood was aglow with merriment and music rendered by Chase's Orchestra, on Friday, December 20, when the Wits Bridge Club entertained their friends.

"Cardui Helped Me So Much" "I FOUND myself very weak," writes Miss Mattie Knox, 620 Stephens St, Memphis, Tenn., whose picture is printed above. "My back ached. I was always tired and did not feel well enough to enjoy pleasures as I should. "A friend of mine suggested that I try Cardul, which I did, and helped me so much that I am glad to recommend it to others. "I have told several of my friends about it. Some of them have taken three or four bottles of it. My mother also has taken it and found it was a wonderful tonic. I will always recommend Cardul." For sale by all druggists.

In spite of the many drawback cords in track and on the field as Boxing Although there were no Negro national champions crowned in 1929 many were accorded the honor for their ability by fair sport lovers all over the world. Several climbed the ladder of fame to the topmost round only to be barred at the pinnacle for no other reason than a dark skin. Especially has this been true in the squared arena. White boxers have refused to meet colored men time and again in competition. The famous dodging stunt of Jack Dempsy who went even to Europe to avoid Harry Wills is now history. In baseball where post season games are played between the races, colored teams have more than held their own with white big league nines. Such diamond stars as Ed Rommel fell before the pitching of Norman Yokely, Baltimore Black Sox hurler. In spite of the many drawbacks colored athletes made notable records in track and on the field as well as in the ring. Boxing Kid Chocolate, little Cuban featherweight, stands out as the leading sport figure in 1929. His sensational run of 160 consecutive wins has established a new record in straight victories. Chocolate has met and defeated the best boys in his class. He is scheduled to meet Bat Battalina, the champion, in a title match next month. the leaders on the hardwood. In collegiate basketball, Morgan college under the leadership of Captain "Lanky" Jones won their second title. The Baltimore quint defeated all comers from the various club teams and many colleges. The Alpha Phi Alpha won the local championship in the ftrter. This boy came to the United States unknown and fought his way to within one round of the highest on the pugilistic ladder. Only his color keeps him from being acclaimed the champion featherweight of the world. Al Brown, the Harlem beau brummel, is another featherweight that has ascended the heights, but here again the color of his skin has kept him from a chance at the diadem. Bruce Flowers, the New Rochelle, N.Y. lightweight, went to the door of a title and had the portals shut in his face because the pigment of his skin was of a dark hue. Several local boys have been quite successful in the manly art of self-defense. Johnny (Sailor) Crutchfield, Young Harry Wills and Young Stone have met some of the best boys in this section of the country and have been victors. Basketball On the courts the New York Renaissance reigns supreme as the national titleholders. The annual series with the world famous Celtics and the Rens is the high spot in basketball.

The Alpha Phi Alpha won the local championship in the fraternity series. The games were clean, hard fought and the series was one of the best played here. Baseball The Baltimore Black Sox were credited with the pennant in professional baseball altho a series was not played by the American Negro league. The Sox finished the season with a healthy lead and the Monumental team copped the first half of the league race with a big margin to spare. The Washington Black Sox cleaned up everything in the District of Columbia. This team stands out as one of the best semi-pro nines in the east. Many players were of big league calibre and the management in making plans for a banner season in 1980. Armstrong High tossers won the school diamond crown by winning from Cardozo and Dunbar. The Techmen had one of the best teams in the history of the school. Tennis The sensational comeback of Edgar Brown to win the A. T. A. singles at Bordentown last year, was the talk of the country. His marvelous speed, sharp returns and all-round court generalship stamp Brown as the best racketeer of the year. Miss Ora Washington, the Germantown girl, won the ladies singles match.

The three local high schools are members of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference and all teams will point to the championship in the spring. On January 13 Dunbar will lead off with Howard Freshmen in the Howard gymnasium. Coach Frank Perkins has one of the best squads in the history of the school. His men have been practicing since early December and prospects are bright this season for the Poets on the hardwood. On December 17 Cardozo Business high will lock horns with Douglass high in Baltimore. The office men drew a tough assignment for their first tilt, but Coach Washington has a quintet of veterans standing well over six feet and is confident that he will have little trouble in turning the Ducks back. The Techmen of Armstrong will start the fireworks on January 20 with Howard Freshmen. Many regulars are back in the fold and Coach Westmoreland has had his tossers training for over a month. Armstrong and Dunbar will assume their old rivalry on February 24. feated Miss Lula Ballard for the title. Miss Ballard has been called another Helen Wills and her color keeps her from competing at Forrest Hills against the best racket welders in the country. Football Many claim Tuskegee had the outstanding gridiron team during the year. Altho the Tigers defeated many southern teams their failure to meet Va. State, C.I.A.A. champions, leaves a doubt as to their claim to the title. Va. State went thru the season without a single conference loss. After all is said and done this writer would select the "Staters" as the leaders on the grid for the year. There were many stars on white teams the most notable being David Myers, of New York University. The failure of Myers to get in the game with the University of Georgia was the season's black mark against his coach and team. Locally, Armstrong high came through with flying colors to win the District championship. The Techmen placed eight men on the Tribune All-high school squad for the District. Under the able captaincy of "Windy" Wallace, the Armstrong eleven evened the 17-year score with Dunbar to tie the count in games at seven all with three scoreless ties. Cardozo Business high made a bid for high school football honors this year. The "Clerks" dedicated Douglass high, of Baltimore, and Dunbar and are out to get into the championship running next year. Track Negro athletes have fared better in track than in any other sport In the white colleges Negro track men have made enviable marks. Thil Edwards, of New York university, starred at the Penn Relays in the mile relay. Time and again this sterling runner brought his team from behind to win relays at various meets. Eddie Tolan, crack sprinter, come into national prominence last June by winning the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard sprint in record time. Gus Moore, brilliant runner of the University of Pittsburgh, has established himself as the peer of cross country artists. Lincoln University won the Hampton track and field championships by scoring 49 points against Hampton's 36%. Locally Edgar Lee is the star of the Washington heel and toe artists. Lee won the BBaltimore Health Week marathon and the Twelfth Street "Y" marathon here a few weeks ago. In each race he established a new time. All in all the year produced many stars in different lines of sport. Despite the fact that they were barred in many instances the boys continue to carry on and with the dawn of the another year preparations are being made for greater achievements in 1980. A happy and prosperous New Year is our sincere wish for all those who toil on the field, ring or court to the glory of the great god—sport. St. Paul Dribblers Wallop Henderson Five 17 To 8 LAWRENCE VIELE, Va.—Coach Hubert Taylor's discipal quintet opened its cage season by defeating Henderson Institute here Wednesday evening 17-8. The Henderson five flashed a team composel of rangy fellows hued in bright yellow suits, but they simply could not click against St. Paul's great defensive combination. St. Paul took the lead and were headed by the North Carolina five once during the entire game. The first half ended 7 to 4 and in the final period St. Paul seemingly took on new life to score 17 more points to Henderson's 8. A. E. J. Marcus E. Vance, who disappeared one year ago with the receipts of Kapp Alpha Psi-Omega Psi basketball glove, returned to Washington Thursday and stated that he was ready to settle all claims against him. It was reported that Sance took $400 gate receipts and vanished. He was well known here as a sportsman and promoter. J. MARCUS VANCE, SPORTSPROMOTER RETURNS TO CITY A year old mystery was solved here Thursday with the return of J. Marcus E. Vance, basketball promoter, who vanished on last Christmas day with the receipts of the Kappa Alpha Psi-Omega Psi Phi fraternity game at the Colonnade. At the time Vance disappeared it was reported that he had $400 in his possession. The ex-promoter denied this week that he took that sum, but said it was much less. Vance told a Tribune reporter that when he left Washington he went to New York. After remaining there for a short time he went to Marshall, Texas, then to Chicago, to Detroit and back to Washington. He said he was here to settle all claims against him in connection with the game. The two teams were guaranteed $75 each, but were not paid. The officials, I. N. Cupid and John H. Burr, failed to receive their pay. The orchestra, doormen and rent for the hall were paid, said Vance. Some 500 fans packed the auditorium were on hand to witness the game which was the holiday classic. The teams were to receive their money after the game. Edward White, manager of White Brothers' Orchestra, was given an envelope containing the amount his men were to receive. At the start of the second half Vance disappeared and efforts to reach him at 182 S street revealed that he had packed his trunk and left. Vance said he did not have anything to do with the disappearance of the $200 receipts of an Easter game last year. He said a bandit held up the box office. EASTERN BOARD RE-ELECT SAVOY A Kiger Savoy was re-elected president at the annual business meeting of the Eastern Board of Officials which was held Saturday at Harrison's cafe. Benjamin Washington was re-elected secretary-treasurer which post he has held two consecutive years. The departure of Dr. Charles Donehy for Grand Rapids, Mich. to practice medicine created a vacancy and the election to active membership of Dr. Leo Holton and Dr. Herbert Marshall increased the enrollment of the Board to fifteen members. J. W. Anderson, executive secretary of the Norfolk, Va. Y. M. C. A. was placed on the probationary list of members. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, and a former official, reviewed the period from 27 years ago to the present. Freedmen's Nurses Trounce Asbury Girls Freedmen's Hospital Nurses basketball team ran away with the Asbury A. M. E. girls in a fast and well-played game at the Y. W. C. A. on Tuesday by a score of 20-3. Despite the one-sided score of 20-3 in favor of the Nurses, the losers put up a battle which was replete with thrills. Burney, substitute left forward, turned in a high score of 8 points for Freedman's, and was closely followed by Triggle, regular left forward, with 6 Howard Tossers Drop First Basketball Game to Arnold The Howard University dropped the season's opener in basketball to Arnold College, white, here Saturday in the Howard gymnasium by a score of 29 to 28. At the end of the first half Arnold was leading by a 17-13 score. Williams, Howard forward, sank a foul goal in the waining preiod that might have tied the count but he stepped out of bounds in making the shot which the referee ruled out. **Howard** G F G P Arnold G F G P Campbell.rf... 3 0 6 Bal.rf... 2 1 5 Hal.lf... 1 1 3 Petrosmoi.f... 8 1 17 Beasley.c... 1 1 3 Kittle.f... 0 2 2 Taylor.rg... 4 1 0 Winne.rg... 1 0 2 Williams.lg... 1 1 3 Bregonon.lg... 1 0 2 Gibson.c... 1 0 2 Drichon.lg... 1 0 0 Sypha.hg... 1 0 2 Swigney.lg... 0 0 0 Smith.lg... 0 0 0 Totals... 12 5 29 **Totals** 13 2 28 **Referee—Westmoreland.

THOMPSON-FIELDS MAY MEET IN CHI CHICAGO.—This city may be the scene of the Young Jack Thompson-Jackie Fields championship bout after all as New York Boxing Commission has refused to sanction the fight. Jack Dempsey, promoter, had scheduled the bout for the Chicago Coliseum on January 17, but cancelled it because he understood the Illinois State Athletic Commission would bar mixed matches. Tom McArdie, of Madison Square Garden, booked the bout for January 3 only to have the commission bar the fight. Chairman Clinin, of the Illinois commission, has given new hope for the match here by quoting freely from the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution and said that as far as he is concerned mixed bouts are permissable anywhere in the United States. GRID BANQUET IS POSTPONED AT H.U. The annual football banquet at Howard University scheduled for last Friday has been postponed until school opens after the holidays. The banquet was called off because most of the boys had left school. The captain for the 1930 eleven will be elected when the reception is held. 'Force Cagers Win 34-28 Victory Over Cedarville WILBERFORCE, O. — Shadow guarding of Wilberforce University's quintet and the uncanny accuracy of Gibbs in locating the basket, accounted for Wilberforce's 34-28 win over Cedarville College (white) Thursday night in Beacon Gym. Throughout the first half the close guarding of Wilberforce permitted Cedarville only 12 scoring positions and the rushing of Gibbs and C. Lucas blocked 6 of those. While Wilberforce guards were covering Cedarville's basket attempts Gibbs and Lucas were dropping shots from every angle. DUNBAR THEATRE Raymond H.

To begin with they all know how to talk, and Jane Murfin, who wrote the dialogue and adaptation from George Kibbe Turner's magazine story, "Companionate," has given them something to say. It's a story with words and music and how. Olive Borden plays the role of an art student heiress, in love with a struggling, young architect employed by her father. They marry, secretly. Then Morgan Farley, the young architect, finds that he had been tricked by a fake telegram, sent by Anderson Lawler, who plays the role of a wealthy young man about town. Farley rushes to Olive's apartment, arriving there just after Lawler disappears through the sixth story window. In the struggle in which Olive seeks to protect herself from his amorous advances Lawler slips and falls to his death. Subsequent police investigation reveals the secret wedding of Olive and Farley. "Y" Business Men Beat Francis High Teachers Playing its first volley ball match away from the "Y" court, the business and professional men's volley ball team played a deadlocked contest with the Francis Junior High Faculty in the school gymnasium.

Jack Conway, one of the most popular directors of Hollywood, came to the picture direct from his success with "Our Maidens." Willard Mack, the playwright, made such a success with the talking version of "Madame X" that he was assigned to do the talking scenario of "Untamed." Robert Montgomery, one of Broadway's most brilliant young actors, comes to the lead after being featured in "So This Is College," his first talking film. He was signed to a long term M-G-M contract by virtue of his work in such Broadway stage hits as "Possession" and "One of the Family." Young, curly-haired, possessed of a punch in both hands, and a smile, Montgomery is rated as one of the most promising "new faces" to be Ernest Torrence needs no introduction. He plays Joan's scheming Scotch guardian. Holmes Herbert, Torrence's pal in the picture, made a name for himself in "The Thirteenth Chair," and as Floriot's friend in "Madame X." MUSIC DRAWS FAN INTEREST TO "RIO RITA" The voice that has been the talk of Hollywood this season will be heard from the screen of the Broadway Theatre for two days, December 31st, and January 1. It belongs to Bebe Daniels and will be heard singing the songs of "Rio Rita," the Radio Picture operetta sensation. In all the revolutions and surprises talking pictures have brought into the film industry, nothing has created more of a sensation than the "discovery" of the remarkable singing voice possessed by this favorite of the silent screen. Opposite Bebe in the film version of Flo Ziegfeld's most famous musical show will be seen John Boles, erstwhile favorite of the musical comedy stage, and the tenor most in demand in talking pictures. Dolores Costello, more beautiful and adorable than ever emerges as a dramatic actress of great power and conviction. See and hear her at the Lincoln.

DAVEY LEE PLAYS 'SONNY BOY' WITH ELFIN WISDOM Although Warner Bros. production "Sonny Boy" contains beside Davey Lee, the four-year-old star, a group of eight leading players, only three of the number are new to the Warner lot. Those playing important roles in Davey Lee's first starring vehicle who have been previously seen in Warner Bros. pictures are Edward Everettt Horton, Betty Bronson, Tom Dugan, Edmund Breese and Lucy Beaumont. Members of the cast who appear for the first time include the lovely Gertrude Olmsted, John T. Murray and Jed Prouty. The entire cast, however, is well equipped for pictures as all have had experience on the legitimate stage. "Sonny Boy" was adapted for the screen by C. Graham Baker from a Leon Zuardo story and directed by Archie Mayo. It is a finely constructed comedy-drama in which a proposed divorce is responsible for bringing about an unexpected marriage. Davey Lee easily dominates the piece, his merry, yet wistful and elfin timinness, his deft though wholly unstudied use of eyes and body, sending audiences into ripples of laughter which are always mellowed by a tenderness which the diminutive Davey unfailingly brings forth. Comes to Broadway Theatre, next week for two days, January 3rd and 4th. A dramatic story of love at first sight, and romance under difficulties. See Joan Crawford in the "Untamed" at the Lincoln, December 28. A NEW GARBO IN "THE KISS" Fascinating Star Achieves Different Portrait in Feyder Drama Greta Garbo never permits her audiences to grow weary of any particular characterization. Playing a spirited English girl in "Woman of Affairs," a romantic debutante in "The Single Standard," Miss Garbo now gives a splendid portrait of a French wife in "The Kiss," which opens at the Booker T. Theatre, for one week, beginning Saturday, December 28th. In providing Miss Garbo with this glamorous French drama Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has afforded her an opportunity for a powerful role of tragic motivation. Miss-Garbo has never been seen to greater advantage and it is to be expected that her portrayal of the role of Irene Guarry will be considered one of the finest performances of her career. As the woman unhappily wed to a jealous husband, she offers a striking performance which works up to a climax in which she murders her husband and consequently faces the guillotine. Conrad Nagel, as her old lover, fights to save her life. Jacques Feyder, the noted French director, wrote and screened the powerful story, employing a novel machanistic technique. His screen treatment has an European flavor which contributes to the Continental atmosphere of the play. Lew Ayres, a newcomer in pictures, gives a fine characterization as the young lover. Holmes Herbert is his understanding parent and Anders Randolf plays the part of the jealous husband. ills for W AT BOOKER T. GRETA GARBO popular star coming to the Booker T. Saturday for one week.

Among them are that crickets bring good luck, bad luck, die in the Fall, and in the late Fall announce by their chirping the coming of snow. There are many types of crickets, but the most common are the black cricket and the mole cricket, usually found out-of-doors, and the grayish yellow house cricket. The cricket forces himself upon the attention of any one within hearing distance of his "song"—a strident resonant note sounded at intervals at nightfall. By nature he is a nocturnal songster, no matter whether he is of the species that prefers to live out-of-doors, or of the indoor kind. The black cricket, found outdoors during the Summer and early Autumn, ventures inside when early Winter appears. This insect often eats holes through garments carelessly left in hay fields and burrows into shocks of grain. It is larger than the so-called house cricket and lives in the ground as long as the weather is mild. Its home is usually a hole from six to twelve inches below the ground. Its eggs are placed on the ground and when hatched the larvae form burrows into the ground to pass the Winter. The mole cricket, seldom seen by human beings, is particularly fitted for its underground life by a velvety covering to protect it against moisture. Its habits are much like those of the animal from which it takes its name. Its front legs are fitted with teeth for burrowing. It attacks the roots of crops or tubera of potatoes for sustenance, but not often enough to be a real menace to the farmer. The house cricket is fond of warmth. As a consequence, it likes to live in bakeries, where its burrows are often sunk within a few feet of the oven. In Summer it frequently is seen outdoors, basking in the sun near garden walls or flowers. With the first approach of cold it usually returns indoors, where, if the fire is put out, it becomes dormant. Like other insects of its species, it is nocturnal in habit, foraging after dark in the kitchen, where crumbs, supply it with what it needs. It likes beer and sweetened vinegar. When placed inside a jar indoors with a few bread- crumbs, it becomes tame and will sing without fear. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1929 XMAS CLUB CHEEK How to get it? Easy.

We are now enrolling our clients in this Club and ask you to come in this week without fail. UNDER U. S. GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION OPEN DAILY TILL 5 P. M. OUR MAIL BOX SAYS PRISON IDLENESS COST RACE HUGE SUM To the Editor: Mr. Harry F. Sinclair is at large again after only six months in jail at Quantico, Va. Mr. Sinclair is out because he is a multi-millionaire in a country where the dollar is God A'mighty. Even then he was not convicted for the major crime with which he was charged. Rich men seldom go to jail in America or any other country because everywhere money is power. It enables the accused to get the most highly-trained lawyers and thus defeat the ends of justice. Those rich men are usually guilty but they seldom pay the penalty. As a matter of fact, the jails and prisons of the United States are filled with the poor, the disherited, the weak. This is true in every other country, too. The prison is the poor man's club since 80 per cent of all crimes are those against property and the bulk of the people have none. Because the Negroes constitute the lowest social and economic group in our country, there is a disproportionate number of them inhabiting our prisons, jails and detention "homes." In New York City nearly 40 per cent of the inmates of the city jails are black men and women, despite the fact that the Negro population is but 4 per cent of the whole. A similar situation exists in other communities throughout the country. This is always the fate of the poorest group; but aside from poverty, the Negro has the added handicap of being a Negro. When accused of a crime, he has to face white police, white jurymen, white district attorney and white judge, the overwhelming majority of whom are far from being in love with the sons and daughters of Ham. Hence the percentage of convictions is very high where Negroes are concerned. Almost any evidences suffices to convict. Looked at from the economic standpoint, this means that the Negro group which, being poor, is in no position to stand any drain on its pocketbook, loses hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars each year through the incarceration of so many of its members, to say nothing of the breaking up of families. For example: Let us assume that the average daily wage of Negro workers is $3. Let us further assume that in the course of a year 1000 Negroes who ought to have been acquitted of charges against them were sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. At the rate of $3 a day, 1000 workers laboring 300 working days will earn $900,-000 a year. Hence, the group loses that much money. As a matter of fact, far more than 1000. Negro workers are so sentenced in a year's time. The actual number, I imagine, is nearer 5,000, and there must be at least 10,000 sentenced to short terms of one, three and six months. Doubtless our monetary loss from this source exceeds $10,000,000 annually. If every Negro arrested for no matter what crime were as ably defended as was Mr. Sinclair, this annual loss would be reduced by two-thirds. Unfortunately, the Negro caught in the toils of the law is poorly defended, if at all, and usually raidrooted to prison with a barbarous sentence to serve. It strikes me that something can be done about this. We have able attorneys in every community who would interest themselves in this Washington Tribune work if we gave them our financial support. Already they have performed great service here and there with very little financial support from us, except the sums given by the local branches and the national office of the N.A.A.C.P. They could perform greater services in defending unfortunate and pauper Negroes about to be railroaded to prison, if they received more financial support, and there would be more of this support if more Negroes belonged to and supported the numerous branches of the N.A.A.C.P. To sum up: The bulk of our prison population is recruited from the ranks of the working class. The bulk of Negroes belong to the working class and when a Negro goes to court he faces white people, most of whom are prejudiced against him. The loss to our group is around $10,000,000 annually. Negroes themselves could cut this loss by two-thirds if they would give an established and respected national organization like the N. A. A. C. P. sufficient money to adequately defend every Negro accused of crime and exhaust every means to free him. We need not be worried over what the white people will say about "Negroes defending their criminals." If we were more zealous in defending those who have fallen afoul of white uniformed thugs we would gain a greater measure of respect from the dominant group in our country, to say nothing of saving millions of dollars annually. very truly yours, GEORGE S.

Takawo Muto, a young Japanese of high rank is exiled from his own country because of the political intrigues of his father, and wanders into China. There, he serves under a Chinese general of the Revolutionary Army and later joined the bandits of Northern Manchuria. His adventures there form the actual basis of the story for the wanderer relates his own adventures. Externally, the story gives a panorama of China, during a momentous period in her history, internally, it is the story of a quest for something that will give meaning to a life in exile. Takawo Muto is exiled completely; he is a man not only exiled from his own country, but a man thrown outside of his destiny. The images evoked by the descriptions give the effect of complete alliance. In the three women, See, Nadja, and Kay, he meets during his travels he glimpses the beauty that is emblematic to him of the country of his soul, but it is the fate of his destiny that he must say farewell to each of them and lose his last hope of happiness. His quest finally leads him to the "Temple of Mysterious Heaven." There he learns that his quest is to be endlessly continued. Although we never lose the sense that the people in "The Golden Wind" are of an alien race—yet we realize that Takako's quest is for something we may have noticed the lack of in our own lives. The setting of the story is strange and exotic to a great degree, but the meanings expressed by the action of the characters, swamps any peculiarities of setting and brings to us only the deep heart hunger of the story. This is emphatically not a love story. Love is an outside element that enters in only to complicate Takako's quest and makes more bearable his endless term of exile. The story is an exquisite piece of literature; the delicacy and beauty of its phrases and the odd smoothness of its sentence structure give it the beauty of an old willow pattern plate. It is worth reading and re-reading many times.
