Prisoners will be Taken from Ga. Camp Former Secy. of Elk Lodge Indicted on Charge of Embezzlement We wish to say a brief word in behalf of the boys who collect your bill each month. Our regular staff of collectors is composed of school boys working on a commission basis. With their earnings, they purchase clothing, school books, etc., and assist their parents in numerous ways. We appeal to you to help them by paying your subscription bill promptly each month, thus making extra trips by the collector unnecessary. If you will do so, it will make it possible for each collector to cover his territory more rapidly and to increase his earnings materially. We appeal for your cooperation! Former CONTRACT SYSTEM IS CANCELLED BY U.S. GOVERNMENT Georgia Camp Prisoners to Be Returned to Atlanta On March 15 Federal prisoners now leased to Chatham county, Georgia to work on the roads will be sent back to the Atlanta Federal prison, the Department of Justice ruled yesterday. The department has cancelled the contract with the county and the men will return to Atlanta on March 15. A letter received by the Tribute this week from an inmate of the camp telling of a near riot on January 3 when the men refused to work in the rain brought about the transfer. Superintendent of Prisons, Sanford Bates, recently returned from the camp and witnessed the most deplorable state of affairs. Men were refused medical attention and all wore insufficient clothing. The contract was to be terminated after 60 days if either party was dissatisfied. The term of the lease will end on March 15 and the men will be relieved from public road work. Mr. Bates admitted that one prisoner, John Winters, had been placed in solitary confinement at Savannah, Georgia, with nothing to eat but bread and water. He was accused by the county judge of being insolent. Mr. Bates stated that three other prisoners had been sent back to the Atlanta pen. Since the leasing of Negro prisoners to Southern counties for road work has been disclosed by newspapers, there have been many complaints made. Congressman Oscar DePriest has taken the matter up with President Hoover; Senator Wagner, of New York, flayed the contract as being brutal. Many organizations have protested to the Department of Justice and to the President.

"GIVE HA CIVILIAN SAYS SE "GIVE HAITI A CIVILIAN RULER," SAYS SEN. BORAH Senator Thinks Something Should Be Done At Once Appointment of a civilian governor to administer Haitian affairs and the permitting of a free and untrammeled election in Haiti are things which ought to be done by the United States without awaiting the report of the proposed commission to investigate conditions in the island republic, Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, asserted last Wednesday. The statement of Senator Borah was made following a meeting of the committee, at which the resolution for the appointment of a Haitian commission was considered. No action was taken by the committee. Indications are that the resolution will be favorably reported next week, but it is not likely that the resolution will be called up in the Senate until after the passage of the tariff bill.

Payne, 249 Florida avenue, northwest, on a charge of embezzlement. Payne was the financial secretary of Morning Star Lodge No. 40, of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. The indictment charges that he embezzled the sum of $2,040.24 of the lodge's funds. An audit of the lodge's books is said to have revealed the alleged shortage. The trustees, Arthus R. Brown, Robert Plummer, R. L. Peyton, Edward F. Jennifer and Thomas H. Cabiniss, were named as witnesses. The auditors of the lodge, L.B. Curtis, Thomas P. Green and Thomas F. Harper, found the shortage in the books dating from January 1 to June 30, 1928. Altho the shortage was named as $2,040.24, officers of the lodge say it amounts to over this sum as lots of cards were found which brings the amount up higher. The bond of $1,000 held by Mr. Payne with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company has been forfeited to the lodge. The former secretary was expelled by the lodge on November 8, 1928. Goes to Bed On Track of Electric Railroad John Johnson, 50, man about town and home most anywhere, elected to take a rest, Friday night after an arduous day about town, but being under the influence of intoxicants Johnson cared little where he laid his head as long as it was restful, so he decided the W. B. & A. Electric Railway tracks were as good as any other place, so that's how it happened that Johnson faced Judge Isaac R. Hitt in police court Saturday morning on a drunk charge. Johnson was in the land of dreams when an alert operator of a limited train bound for Baltimore saw something on the tracks. He brought his train to a grinding standstill and prepared to gather up the pieces of the man with a shovel. However, as fate would have it the train stopped right over the peacefully sleeping man. Johnson got another "break" in court when he was given a suspended fine of $10. 2 Jump and 2 Trapped In Blaze On Barry Place 2 Jump and 2 Trapped In Blaze On Barry Place Firemen rescued two persons when fire partially destroyed the frame two-story dwelling at 814 Barry place, northwest, Sunday.

In a brief an- Rouncement he stated that the Po- lice Department had prevented the ‘Pythian Building management fiom permitting speeches to be made. This, however, wag denied by the maneger of the building, who stated to a Tribune reporter that the agreement covering the rental of the hall to the Commun ist League provided that no speech- @s should be delivered during the evening. Communist Aims | Mr. Huiswood talked freely with & Tribune representative concern- ing the aims and purposes of the Communist Party. He stated that he was born in Dutch Guiana, that he is a citizen of the United States, and that he had spent several months in Soviet Russia. He indi- cated that had he been permitted to deliver his speech, he had planned to discuss the program of the Communist Party with special felation to the inter-racial feature. He said that the Communist Party advorates the bringing together of all workers, black and white, on a common platform based on full po- litical and social equality, and that among its aims are the abolishment of the capitalistic system, the breaking down of racial segrega- tion, and the prevention of the ex- Ploitation of black and white work- ers through racial prejudice and discrimination. Conduct Orderly No disorder of any sort was ob- served during the evening, and ap- parently those taking part in the dancing thoroughly enjoyed them- selves. Many evinced their grow- ing interest in the Communistic movement, and announced their in- tention of attending meetings to be held here this week. G.ER. J. FINLEY WILSON AND WIFE AT OMAHA, NEB.

He made a strofg plea for the Baptists to support this school, which was founded, by Negroes about 50 years ago. He said that the Seminary is more than a school; it is a movement to prove the Negro’s capability for civilization. “The test of civilization,” satd President Johns, “tis in the ability to produce products and not in the use of civilized products. “We want our rights, justice in the courts; employment in indus- try; the franchise, ete. but we cannot go on seeking’ civilized Fights and shicking civilised re- sponsibilities,” said er. “The test of the future,” contin- ued Dr. Johns, “is not what, the other fellow is doing, or will do for us, but what we can’ do for ourselves.” The quartet from the Seminary sang and a collection of $26.57 was raised and turned over to Dr. Johns. ‘This was the first meeting of the Other national officers, all of whom were re-elected are Dr. B.

Wright, attorney, asked for the appointment of a matron at the Murch School, which is to be opened about February 3. It will be discussed at a future meeting. It was announced that the new addition to the Burrville school opened January 3, and released the portables that were in use there. They will be transferred to the Deanwood school. The Board agreed to rent three lots at Twentieth and Rosedale streets, northeast, on which to place two more portables to handle the overflow from the Lovejoy school which was denied the request for an eight-room addition by the last Congress. S. D. Matthews, principal of the Garfield School, was granted the request to practice law. The death of Prof. E. C. Williams, librarian at Howard University, was noted. He was formerly a principal of the old M Street High School, now Cardozo Business High. Captain A. C. Newman's request for an adjustment of his salary was not granted upon the report of Supt. Ballou, made December 4, which report was ordered sent to Capt. Newman. H. T. Porter was appointed probationary teacher in the Deanwood school on January 2. Mrs. E. H.

WELFARE HOUSE TO OPEN SOON The Welfare House, located at Third and G streets, southeast, which is under the Washington Welfare Association, of which Dr. Dorothy C. Boulding is president, is undergoing remodeling and renovation, preparatory to its early opening to the public. New sanitary hospital floors are being laid and new metal ceilings placed. New bath room equipment is being installed and general painting is being done, so the house at Third and G streets will be a new sanitary home for the purpose it is to serve. Dr. Boulding stated, Wednesday, that she "hoped to soon have the home fully equipped and fully staffed." The Washington Welfare Association was organized in June, and the house at Third and G streets, southeast, was secured in August. A drive was started for $6,000, and 256 persons have pledged $3,400, of which $2,200 has been paid in cash. Dr. Boulding stated that the Association was grateful to every person who pledged and has helped in any way to make the Welfare House a reality. Its opening will mean much to the people in south-west Washington. ALEXANDRIA NOTES Mrs. Ethel Hackley Representative 1010 Wythe Street Phone, Alexandria 1427 Howard President Speaks in Alexandrin Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, emancipation proclamation speaker for the Alexandria Citizens Association on January 5, held spellbound the massive audience which crowded all available space in the Roberts Chapel. Dr. Johnson assured his hearers that the great progress made by the Negro in the past 67 years should convince them beyond a doubt that there is no justification for an inferiority complex on the part of the Negro himself. Up to the present time, continued the speaker, the Negro's contribution has been chiefly individualistic, but from now on his efforts must be co-operative. His intelligence must be employed in choosing the proper kind of leadership, and his loyalty must be developed to the point where he will back up that leadership to the end. The speaker gave striking examples where Negro workers are being forced out of their life long occupations because they have not united intelligence and some capital with labor. He emphasized the great need for unity among Negro people and showed the danger of division and selfishness that have kept them from making the progress they might have made. Negroes were asked to participate in all the activities of citizenship, and to let no one say that voting doesn't count. Those sections of the country where the Negro has the best schools and the best living conditions from a public point of view (with one exception) are the sections where the Negro has and uses the ballot. Other numbers appearing on the program with Dr. Johnson were the Alfred Street Baptist Church choir, the Parker-Gray high school chorus, Miss Eunice Diggs in a vocal solo, Mrs. T. N. Austin, Mr. Joseph Waddy, and Mr. Rosier Gadis in readings. Attorney Alfred H. Collins, president of the Citizens Association, made a few remarks on the purposes of the association. Rev. T. N. Austin, pastor of Roberts Chapel, invoked the blessing, and the Rev. Mr. Herne, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, gave the benediction. Mr. Wesley D. Elam was master of communities A silver offering of $33.17 was taken up, and the net proceeds will be presented to the Alexandria Hospital. The committee on arrangements for the Emancipation Proclamation celebration program is Wesley D. Elam, chairman; William McK. Murray, A. H. Banks, W. K. Martin, Dr. Foraker Evans, Mrs. Julia Prithhett, and Mrs. Margaret Evans. The officers of the Alexandria Citizens' association are A. H. Collins, president; Samuel Madden, vice-president; James Howard, secretary; and Leon C. Ballimore, treasurer. Christmas Seals All representatives who have been selling Christmas Seals are asked to make their reports to Wesley D. Elam, at the Parker-Gray School.

CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION IN CHICAGO The announcement of Robert S. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, as a candidate for Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, against Congressman Oscar DePriest, incumbent and a friend of his, came as a surprise. Mr. Abbott with his Defender, supported Mr. DePriest in his campaign in 1928 and the man who writes the editorials for Mr. Abbott has praised Congressman DePriest on several occasions. The announcement of Mr. Abbott simply muddles the Congressional race in the First District of Illinois. Roscoe Simmons has announced his candidacy. Of course Roscoe is not taken seriously, but a braying jackass attracts some attention. Mr. Abbott's entering the race as a protege of Senator Deneen certainly places him in a bad light. On the face of it, it appears that Mr. Abbott is permitting himself to be used as a cat's paw by Senator Deneen. He cannot afford that. Why can not Mr. Abbott take a lesson from Edward Wright, who, when offered the candidacy against DePriest, promptly declined. Mr. Wright knew he had political power, he knew he could carry many of the wards in the First District and his machine might have beaten the DePriest machine; but he realized that the race would not be gaining anything by running several candidates for the same office but stands the chance of defeating a Negro for a white man, if the Negro forces are not divided. Such has proven the case in a number of places already. Phillips and Vaughn opposed each other in St. Louis in 1926, only to re-nominate Dyer. A. M. Brown announced his candidacy for the State Legislature in Kentucky last summer for the August primaries. Shortly after two other Negroes announced their candidacies and defeated Brown for a white man. Abbott is simply muddying the water in Chicago. He is not popular enough in Chicago to even think of running for the State Legislature. Then, too, Abbott's position is not impregnable. It has not been a year since he accepted the invitation of Congressman DePriest to have lunch with him in the House Restaurant and made a front page story in the Defender of the event. Who said anything about ingratitude? Congressman DePriest is proud of his opportunity to help his people—the black people of America. Mr. Abbott has had the opportunity, for a long, long time, but deliberately refuses by hiring all white help in his mechanical department of his printing establishment. Why does he not distribute the salary of his 18 or more white employees among the same number of Negro employers? He dare not say that Negroes cannot operate his linetype machines, operate his stetotyping machines, or run his press, for the Afro-American with five linetype machines, the Journal and Guide, The St. Louis Argus and The Tribune are standing examples of the Negro's ability to set up, make up, stetype and print newspapers. Mr. DePriest is a candidate for re-election. He has his faults. Name the man who has not. However, he has made good to his district and to the race and every right thinking man, in Chicago, will decline to oppose him this year.

Merck "HOLIDAYS" Now that the holidays are over, And our bottles are empty again, Our skin looks so sallow From the whiskey, wine, and gin. We get that old and tired feeling When we try to get out of bed; We pause a moment to wonder What will stop this pain in our head, It seems we work, much harder. That's because we don't feel right We swear if we get over this one, Again we will never get tight. But that's just the morning after The night we've spent so dear; So cheer up, and have another drink Christmas, only comes once a year! . Responsibility for and about the fires which recently destroyed a part of the White House and United States Capitol might have been fixed, but the responsible will never be fined. THE ENGINEER AND MELLON Mr. Hoover is one president that the White House can't get too hot for, not even when it is under fire, and Mr. Mellon must be disgusted with prohibition enforcement in the United States, hence he went to Cuba. Too bad the Drys can't prohibit their constituents from visiting wet countries. DISGUISED Officer Laffin, of the Eighth Precinct, a plain-clothes detective who drives a Virginia-licensed roadster, should be forced to don the uniform of the Force he represents, as this would be far safer for him as well as the police department, since bootleggers would never take the chances on his identification, as did the Howard students. In other words, they wouldn't expect a Washington policeman to be patrolling the streets in a Virginia-licensed automobile. TRIBUNE HISTORY ONE YEAR AGO January 4, 1929 Matthew M.

We want letters, stories, poems, and such for this department of the Tribune. To inspire you to write, we have gone to the files of our old issues of the Tribune and have clipped and here present letters that appeared in these columns of October 21, 1922. Let us hear from you. Here goes: Dear Editor:—I never knew Booker T. Washington, Dunbar nor Douglass. My knowledge comes from reading about them, hearing people speak about them, and praising their various achievements. Dunbar was the greatest American Negro poet. By being a poet he could express the feelings of his DO YOU LIKE TO WRITE STORIES? No matter what you are interested in, send us a letter so that other Tribunites may know what you are doing. Send reviews of the books you read. Some original poems by children. Some original poems written by grown folks of children. Photographs of children. Pen drawings by children. Good jokes selected by children. Fairy stories, animal stories, child life stories. Letters of your activities; of your race in such way that it would bring tears to the eyes of those who read his poetry. In other poems he could bring laughter. Booker T. Washington was born a slave. He ran away, and through great hardships he tried and succeeded in getting an education. He wanted his race to get an education, too. He hoped that it would<sup>b</sup> be as hard for them as it had been for him. He established the largest Negro industrial school in the South, tuskegee, Alabama. In my opinion Frederick Douglass was the greatest of the three because he was the pioneer of them all. He was born a slave and suffered great hardships before he gained his freedom. After he was freed he took great interest in trying to free the man his race. He knew that slavery was unjust and he tried to have it abolished. He suffered the greatest hardships because he was one who had to help clear the path so that others might follow. To my mind he did more for our race than any other man. MARY J. BANTON (Age 14) Dear Editor!—As I was going up F street one day last week, I passed by a white theatre, namely Crandall's Metropolitan. I noticed advertised on the billboard a play called "Monte Cristo" and underneath those words were these, "By Alexander Dumas." This brought to my mind that Alexander Dumas was a man of our race. I don't think that any white person who went to see that picture knew the author of it was a Negro. This shows what men of our race can do. He wrote the story from which the play called "The Three Musketeers" was taker. This picture was shown at all the leading white theatres. It is good for us to know the names of the great men of our race, because if we see their names anywhere we will know them and feel proud of them.

Rora Dee; Bernice Johnson, music Williams, sport editors; Mildred TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. If I had not known that Dumas was a Negro I would have thought some white man had written the story from which the picture was made. In the paper it said, "So completely satisfying was the entertainment afforded by the ten reels of this great picture, that all supplementary film features were omitted." We hope that in future generations we shall have more great men to take the places of Alexander Dumas and others. Lawrence A. Trimmer (Age ?) Dear Editor:—There should be no other name given to us as a race than "Afro-American." First because we originated from Africa which was the native home of our forefathers. Second, because we were brought from Africa to this country, America. Just in these two words, "Afro-American," the whole history is told of our race. We are the descendents of ancient Ethiopia, a group of the Hamitic stock, why should we be ashamed of being descendents from Africa? If you will notice, you will find that there is more spoken of the Ethiopians in the Bible than any other people except the Jews. That is another reason we should be proud of our race. I firmly believe we should be called by everyone as "Afro-Americans." BEULAH E. BARBER (Age ?) Dear Editor:—Of the three, Dunbar, Booker T. Washington and Douglass, I consider Douglass the greatest. Douglass was born a slave. Who could fight the battles for freedom, than he whose body had been bound by the chains of slavery? Douglass, undergoing many hardships, succeeded in getting educated and then used his greatest talent, that of oratory, toward fighting to free his fellowmen from the curse of bondage. He influenced the North against slavery, but not satisfied with sounding the cry among his countrymen, he went across the waters to seek the sympathy of England. She, too answered his call. Dunbar and Washington did much, but because they did not undergo the hardships of slavery, they could not do as great a foundation work as could Douglass. VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 16) Dear Editor;—I was very much delighted when I received my prize for the Wesley Barry essay. I certainly do appreciate it. It is just what I need, something in which to carry my books. Again I wish to thank the one who selected and offered such a valuable prize. Enclosed you will find the answers to the puzzles and questions. I do hope they are correct. CORNELIA JACKSON (Age 16) Dear Editor;—I am answering the puzzles of October 7, and hope they have more puzzles even if some of them were of the same kind. I certainly do love to answer the puzzles and wish there THELMA LANE (Age ?) Dear Editor: I have just finished reading the "Children's Page" and have enjoyed reading it very much. You will find a few answers to the puzzles. I do hope they are correct. Hoping to hear from you soon. BEULAH BARBER (Age 14) ALONE BY THE SEA Who should sit but little me, Awaiting anxiously by the sea; Alone I sit upon the sand, And live above, in other lands. With a wondering eager eye, I gaze at clouds asailing by; Like dainty floats they drift above, Feathery, snow white as a dove. Although living far from here, I feel the soothing breezes near; I hear the billows leap and roll; I hear the chimes as they toll; I smell the fragrance of the air, I know the sun is shining fair; But still the actually by the sea I'm as far away as can be. My mind is distracted finally, From my castles in the sky. For I hear a ship approaching. Hurrah! a ship is nigh! I jump about and shout with joy, As I am filled with glee; I've waited long for that golden ship. Alone by the surging sea! Elizabeth Carter (14) 402 U St., N.W. Dunbar High School U. S. TRADE WITH HAITI DECLINES While United States trade with Latin-American countries showed a substantial increase in 1929 over 1928, according to a survey made public Monday by the Commerce Department, there was a decrease in trade with Haiti. Both exports and imports to Haiti showed a decline, owing to unfavorable economic conditions, according to George J. Eder, chief of the Latin-American section of the Division of Regional Information. With respect to the Dominican Republic, the Department's summary showed, exports and imports continued the steady downward trend since 1927, owing to low sugar prices and poor crops of cocoa and other staples. In the British West Indies both exports and imports showed a decided increase, reacting from the low level of 1928 in obedience to favorable general conditions.

Following the recent newspaper reports of discrimination against Negro customers by some of the department stores in Washington and other places, the National Ne- gro Business League addressed letter to the executive offices of some of the chain stores which deal in women’s apparel to find out what their attitude is concerning Negro customers. In commenting on the situation, Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, said, “More and more we must use the purchasing power of the race to secure recog- nition from white stores which have large Negro. support in the form of courteous treatment and employment of Negro clerks.” The first one of the chain cloth- ing stores to reply to the letter from the National League came from the Lerner Stores Corpora- tion with headquarters in New York. | Their comment was as fol- lows: “I wish to assure you that we have always considered the Ne- gro trade of great value to us, and we have made it a point to see to it that our stores show absolutely no discrimination, In. our_ southern stores, where there is, unfortunate- ly, a definite situation which we cannot overcome, we have gone to the extent of providing special fit- ting rooms in order that our Negro patrons might shop in comfort.” ‘Another one of the chain stores which does not wish its name di vulged at present indi 1 that they would, with the eo. ration of the Business League, 1! ike a survey of the earning capacity and buying habits of the Negro in the South with a view to establishing tranch stores with Negro managers and salespeople, nde Robert R.

The letter from the inmate in the camp follows: ‘The Letter Savannah, Ga. * January 5, 1930. “Mr, J. H. Maxwell. “Dear Sir: “I find the conditions and sur- roundings of Chatham County not as it should be. You ask me to write the facts about this place. Here are the facts: “1. Our sleeping quarters are not sanitary. “2, We only have one sheet, where we had two in the walls. “3. We have not sufficient cloth- ing to wear. “4. Our medical care is not like it should be. Three men are here who need to be under doctor's care, but the doctor will not do anything to help them. Before we left At- lanta all were supposed to be ex- amined, but it was never done. We ‘were shipped here like cattle. In a way of speaking we did not know what it was all about.. There was an inmate who needed an operatior for appendix. ‘This man's name is Jay J. Jones. Doctor said there ‘was nothing wrong with him. They tried to make him work, but the man was so weak he had to. stay in bed for four weeks, until Mr. Bates came. The day Mr. Bates arrived he made the doctor send the man to the hospital. The peo- ple here are under the impression we are desperate. “One day while working some women wanted to ret on the side we were, but went in another di- rection and remarked, ‘There are those bad men from ‘Atlanta.’ I have taken the menu for three days, from December 31, 1929, to January 3, 1930. “December 31, breakfast—Salted bacon, rice, wheat bread and coffee.

On the morning in question Dan Allen, the cuptain, wanted us to work in the rain. When Mr. Bates was here the captain made it plain we did not have to work in the rain, as we haven't sufficient clothing to work in bad weather. Later in the day about 10 a.m., they called for ut aguin, and it was still raining. We did not go. Dan Allen called Judge West, who came out after dinner and raised hell because we did not go to work. He-called us eis is a qui manene, bat be a quiet manner, but would not listen to reasoning. “Judge West asked Jim Menters, an inmate, some questions.

They tried to make Menters come out, but all of us stuck by Menters and refused to let him go. Then the police came closed to the door with automobiles with machine guns in front of the door. We were forced to give the man up. I do not know what they did with him, but I think he was put in jail. We are treated like dogs.

THANK YOU! SELF-RISING FLOUR IS CONVENIENT IN MODERN BAKING By WINIFRED THURLOW Director of the Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Company Cooking is unquestionably growing in popularity as it increases in simplicity. Since standard measuring cups and spoons, even heat controls, and accurate receipts have come into the kitchen, cooking has become so "fool-proof" that even the inexperienced young bride has no misgivings regarding dishes which she prepares. Then there are the men of the family who are boldly striding into the kitchen with an increasing interest in the culinary art. And even mere men could bake superb biscuits, pastries, and cakes when provided with self-rising flour and oven heat controls. For self-rising flour eliminates all of the guess work—in making, batters and doughs. The leavening agent has been added to it in the correct proportions and it is impossible for the biscuits to be yellowed with soda or bitter with too 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 Biscuits 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 expensive as maple syrup; whereas it is among the choicest of table and fancy baking syrups. Nevertheless, it has a flavor all its own.

SCHOOL FINED $50 BY CONFERENCE HOUSTON, Texas—Wiley was officially awarded the football championship of the Southwestern Conference at the annual meeting of that body held here. At the beginning of the past football season Coach Willis, of Prairie View, entered a protest on the playing of "Big Ben" Cavil, Wiley's star fullback, on the grounds that Cavil had played four years of college football. It was ruled in today's session that an amendment to the constitution in 1928 limited a man's playing time to five years without qualifications. All claims of protests were therefore overruled and Wiley was voted the championship for the third consecutive season in football. The body voted to sponsor a basketball tournament to determine the champion of the conference. The tourney will be held in Marshall, Texas, on the Wiley Refectory floor on February 28 to March $50 Fine Paul Quinn College of Waco, Texas, as suspended member, made application for readmittance to the conference.

[Image of a black man with a white beard and mustache, wearing a black shirt and pants. The background is a light color with a circular pattern. The man's face is centered in the image.] [Name] MANAGER OF JOE GANSPASSESAWAY The death of Abraham L. (Al) Hereford in Baltimore, Sunday, will cast a gloom over the entire boxing fraternity. The younger generation of boxers may not know Al as he was called some years ago, but they certainly know of the man Al piloted to the heights in things pugilistic. He was the founder and manager of Joe Gans, the Old Master, and the greatest fighter in his division that ever lived. It was on the then famous fish market of Baltimore that Hereford first met Gans. Gans licked everything around the market and as the fish stands were near a sporting club owned by Hereford the exploits of the Old Master soon reached the cars of the man that carried his protege to a world championship. It wasn't long before Gans and Hereford formed a team which was the greatest combination the world of boxing has known. These two were constantly together. Both men are loved in Baltimore where they were born. After Gans' death Hereford entered the insurance business and became an official of the church. When this writer saw him some years ago in his office in the Equitable Building in Baltimore, Hereford was ready and willing to talk of the days when Gans was a fighting machine and the times the two had in all sections of the country. Hereford was 63 at the time of his death. Gans won the lightweight title from Frank Erne in less than one round at the International Athletic Club, Fort Erie, Canada, May 12, 1902.

"Y" TOSSERS SCORE THIRD COURT GAME OF THE SEASON "Y" TOSSERS SCORE THIRD COURT GAME OF THE SEASON The "Y" Big Five kept its record clean by winning its third game of the season by defeating the Asbury A.C., of Frederick, Md., 40 to 27. Friday. The game was played in the gymnasium of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., before a sizeable crowd. The Frederick team played a much keener game showing a vast improvement in every department over its game last week at Frederick with the "Y" tossers. By virtue of all around team play, the Big Five took the lead from the start when Brady got loose under his basket and scored. After Wagner, for Frederick, and Jeffries for the "Y", had scored fouls, Jones scored a field goal which was a signal for the Bif Five to run rampant, which started, Brown, Brady, Hill and Hammond scoring goals to give their team a commanding lead for the half. At the half the "Y" was leading by 8 points. The third period was tame. Rallying in the fourth period, Frederick started off with two field goals only to see the Big Five score basket after basket in the closing minutes of the game. Antonio Wagner again led his team's attack with eight field goals and three foul shots. Brady was in the van for the Big Five.

HAMPTON NOSES OUT SEMINARY HAMPTON, Va. — A brilliant field goal by Hughes broke a 17-17 tie giving Hampton a 19-17 lead over Virginia Seminary here Saturday in the last three minutes of play. Hampton came out of the battle with a 5-point lead and the score 22-17 in favor of the Seasiders. After Hughes broke the deadlock a foul goal by Cotton and a doubledecker by Alexander ended the scoring. White, a former Armstrong high school boy, and Washington, distinguished himself for the Seminary quint. The game was fast in spots, Hampton furnishing the most of the speed. Seminary played a man to man game on the defensive and used a slow charging offense when in alien territory. Hampton played a slashing game featured by trick passing and fast dribbling, in fact the fancy work at times was costly. Va. Seminary Hampton White. R.F. Cotton Hughes R.G. Taylor Martin. C.

SOCIETY RESTING AFTER BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON Now that the holiday is over, things are gradually succumbing to normal. There's really nothing exciting going on. A few informal gatherings now and then is about the extent of the social affairs. The Lenten Season will be on soon and everybody is looking forward to the dance to be given by the camp committee of the Y.W.C.A. Of course this promises to be one of the big events as the committee is certainly made up of some very enthusiastic workers. Give them the once over. I'm sure you will not regret it. Who vent to the Inter-racial dance at the Pythian Temple last Monday night? Of course you all know about the dance given by the Communists for both white and colored. Well, nearly everyone I met on last Monday night was going for curiosity, to see what it was all about. I wonder if they found out? Let us know more about it. A previous engagement kept us from being present and giving you an interesting account of the "mixed gathering." However, as usual the ever popular Bamboo Inn holds its own. When nothing else is going on, you just drop in there and if you can't find an evening of real pleasure then pack up. It has become the favorite rentevous for the pleasure hungry society folks. You rub shoulders with your friends and enemy alike to the merry tunes of jazz and forget all disagreements and all the worries of the day. Try the tonic, I think it will work wonders. Folks are back from the Kappa meeting in Durham, N.C. It was a wonderful meeting. The Durhamites tried to make the visitors feel at home and tendered them all sorts of entertainment. However, Durham is in the south and naturally a number of privileges were denied our people, but those who went from Washington should not have felt this particular side as the same thing occurs here in the Nailon's Capital. The hospitality of your own friends should have outweighed the unpleasant side. The charming picture of Mrs. Lillian Lucille Hill, nee Miss Lucille Taylor, adorned our pages last week announcing her marriage to Mr. Leonard Hill.
