TEN WORLD WAR GOLD STAR MOTHERS AND WIDOWS HERE SELECTED BY U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR EUROPEAN TRIP PARTY TO VISIT GRAVES OF HEROES BURIED IN FRANCE Government to Provide Every Comfort on The Trip According to the present list compiled by the Quartermaster General's office, 600 Gold Star mothers and widows of colored World War heroes will receive invitations from the United States Government to make a pilgrimage to the European graves of their sons and husbands, at the expense of the Government. Although 1,263 colored soldiers are interred in the American foreign cemeteries the list which is being compiled to date shows only 600 colored mothers and widows who are entitled to make the pilgrimage. This number is somewhat smaller than was at first estimated due to the fact that investigation revealed a large number of deaths among the mothers of heroes, while their widows were disqualified by remarriage in many instances. A small percentage have not been located to date. At Government's Expense Uncle Sam, as host, will spare nothing in providing for the com- fort and welfare of the pilgrims, by every detail is being carefully worked out and competent personnel will be assigned to provide for their every attention. All expense of transportation, meals, hotel accommodations, guides and medical attention will be borne by the Government. Even tips to bell boys and ship stewards, and taxi fares incidental to the trip will be paid for the guests while they are en route from their homes, both ways. Each widow or mother will be furnished, before she leaves home, (Continued on page 2) "PEEPING TOM" PROVES TO BE 12-YEAR-OLD BOY Complaints during the last three weeks from nurses at Children's Hospital that a "Peeping Tom" made occasional visits up and down the fire escape, led to the arrest of a 12-year-old boy, Joseph M.

CORONER'S JURY FREES JACKSON Eugene "Gene" Jackson, Federal dry agent, was absolved of all blame in the death of William Bell, 30, 2105 Ninth street, northwest, by a coroner's jury at the District morgue, Friday. Jackson testified that he shot Bell in selfdefense and exhibited a pistol that Bell was alleged to have had in his hand after he was shot. The dry agent said he ordered Bell to put his hands up. He put up one and held the other in his pocket. Others in the house also testified that they saw Jackson take a gun from Bell while the latter was on the floor. Altho it was said that the prohibition officer did not have a warrant it was stated that this was not necessary as Jackson knew that a felony was being committed in the house at 2125 Ninth street, northwest, on Wednesday morning when the raid was conducted.

HAITIANS CLAIM ALABAMA WHITE MAN BROKE FAITH Instead of Aiding Natives Other Southern Whites Were Brought Over In speaking on the subject "The Next Step in Haiti" before the Howard University Forum Wednesday evening, Prof. Raymond Logan of Va. Union University, recalled incidents between October 31 and December 8 of last year that led up to the student strike, suggesting amicable adjustment. The principal cause was the dissatisfaction of the natives with the administration of Dr. Freeman of Alabama, who is in charge of vocational training. Natives, according to Prof. Logan, had been assured that as they acquired training they would be promoted to responsible positions in connection with their educational institutions. Instead, other Southern white men were brought over by Dr. Freeman and placed in charge which meant an inability to increase the $15 scholarships that had been provided native students Unable 16 Speak French One cause of dissatisfaction with the American directors of education who are regarded as experts, is their inability to speak French, having to make themselves intelligible through interpreters. Speaking of "experts", Prof. Logan told of one "coffee expert" who wanted to visit some of the coffee plantations. He asked his Haitian guide when they were going to get to them. The guide replied "You have been walking through them all morning." The story was cited to show the ridicule which the Haitians have for the so-called "American experts."

His body was found lying across the bed, an empty phial once containing patassium cyanide at his side. Reasons for his act was disclosed by a note addressed to his room mate, reading as follows: I am too ambitious to be so non-industrious. There are things in this life which I lack and which I can't get along without. I have planned this happening for almost three years but put it off from time to time because of my great love for my mother. But tonight I am edning it all." Farewell letters were also left to his mother and brother. Morales is survived by his father who lives in Philadelphia, and his mother, who resides in Tampa, Fla.

WASHINGTON MAN CHALLENGES HARMON AWARD IN FINE ARTS Mr. Anderson also claims that his four best paintings which are of Negro types are being withheld from the exhibit, and instead, his two landscapes, which are far inferior to the other four were selected in their stead. He also challenges Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary in charge of the exhibit to place on exhibit four paintings of Negro peasant types and offers him one hundred dollars in cash if he will accept this challenge and place his paintings beside the two which were granted the awards so that the public and all competent judges of art might be given the opportunity to view and compare them, and judge for themselves as to their relative merits.

DR. JOHNSON AND SUPT. WILKINSON TENDERED DINNER Teachers' Union Give Bril. Pleasant Plains Asks For Traffic Lights At the meeting of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association at the Bruce School, Friday night, a resolution was passed asking for traffic lights on Sherman avenue, at the intersection of Columbia Road and Kenyon street, northwest, for the protection of the children attending Bruce School. It was reported to the association that the kindergarten of Bruce School was overcrowded and that children were being turned away. The new officers were installed with S. J. Murray as the president. Call North 4982 85 DR. JOHNSON AND SUPT. WILKINSON TENDERED DINNER Local No. 27 of the Teachers Uni- union were hosts to Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, senior member of the Board of Education; Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superin- dent, and H. H. Long, assistant superintendent in research, at a dinner, Friday night, January 11, at the Bamboo Inn. Mrs. Mary L. Jones, president of the local, presided. Mrs. Madre Marshall acted as toastmistress. Speaking on health of the child, Dr. Johnson said that he wished the union would foster a campaign for child health and against child mortality. He told of the possibil- ities of reducing the mortality in scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, and other children's dis- cases. Mr. Long spoke on the place of testing in our educational program. He said there was nothing new in the I. Q.'s. Only the refinements of older experiences, and they are the natural result of our teaching experience. By their use we can obtain relief from a great deal of work with less energy. Mr. Wilkinson expressed his deep appreciation for this expression from the teachers' union in having this dinner. He stated that much of the business of the world was done around the luncheon table. "I wish our group," said the speaker, "would give more thought to this. We should cultivate that practice. It promotes confidence and much of the business of the world is done in confidence." Mr. Wilkinson in speaking on cooperation, told of the many things accomplished here in the past ten years for education, the new compulsory attendance law; standardization for every child in the District; the five-year building program which has carried out about 85 per cent of its program; ten years ago we tried to fit the child to the school, now we are trying to fit the school for the child; the teachers' salary bill of 1924 raised Washington for a position of forty-third out of fifty cities in payment to teachers to the first ten on the list now; the retirement act for teachers; the establishing of a Teachers' College in the District has raised the standards for teachers as nothing else has in fifty years. In speaking of the future Mr. Wilkinson said that the problem of the pre-school child and its health from the point of conception to the day it enters school will command our attention. Education of mother and father in the next ten years is to be given much time. "As an organization, you should be proud of your accomplishment and face the future with courage," he said. BISHOP JONES TO BE PRESENTED AWARD WAVELAND, Miss.—Bishop R. E. Jones, recent winner of the Harmon Award for 1929 for distinguished achievement in the field of religion, will be presented the award here in a public gathering on February 9. SOME USED.CAR FACTS So accustomed are you, Sir and Madame, to reading superlatives in reference to used cars that we can scarcely blame you if you have grown skeptical. Too often boastful announcements to be found in used car columns are but sound and fury, signifying nothing. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" is the motto that prompts them. "The House of Confidence." That is our slogan—our motto. We try hard to live up to it. So, when you see a Lambert special used-car sale announced you may be sure that there are genuine bargains in store for you. Beginning today we shall inaugurate for one week a uselcar sale that is unparalleled in our history. (And we have offered many splendid bargains in the past.) We are taking 50 cars that we have had in stock longer than we care to carry them and offering them for from $75 to $400 under their real value. You will find similar cars displayed in our show room at much higher prices, the only difference in these models being that we have not had them as long. Your car will be taken in trade. Wilkinson Honored M. B. Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, who was feted at the Bamboo Inn Friday night. ST.

Y., Jan. 14.—Alonzo Surleigh Parham, plebe appointed to the United States Military Academy here by Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, was one of the 64 cadets honorably discharged here today for failure to pass their midterm academic examinations. Parham failed in only one subject, geometry, and he has 60 days in which to make that up if he cares to take the examination in March, which if successfully passed he will be eligible to reenter the school. Must Confer With DePriest Parham said: "I must confer with Representative Oscar De Priest and with my father. I have not made up my mind." When asked "Are you sorry to leave West Point?" Parham smiled and said, "I never grieve over misfortune, and I accept things as they come. I cann't say that I am sorry to leave, and I can't say that I would be glad to go back. I was as happy there as any first classman could be. I made friends among both cadets and the officers and I know I got a square deal. I got credit for every bit of work that I did correctly and there was no discrimination. "I was not flunked on the account of my color; I just was not good enough in mathematics." Parham told friends that it was a hard life—one for men who are men. Representative DePriest said: "I understand that Parham has 60 days in which to make up his credits. Of course, I may be mistaken because this is the first experience I have had in that connection. If my appointee is definitely discharged I shall appoint another colored boy, because of all members of Congress, I am the only one who would appoint a boy of the race with which I am identified."

Besides this, practically half of the member agencies of the Chest serve Negroes. Hillsdale Civic Asks More Water Mains The Hillsdale Civic Association, at a meeting, Monday night, in the Birney School, directed that the officers of the association endeavor to interest the Health Department in the lack of water and sewers in the territory of the association. The association was notified last year that an appropriation had been made by Congress to build a trunk sewer and culvert which would drain Stickfoot Branch and relieve the flooding of that section. As nothing has been done toward this work, the association ordered an inquiry be made of the commissioners regarding the appropriation and what became of it. HOWARD MEDIC GETS LAW.

Haitians Claim Alabama White Man Broke Faith (Continued from page 1) Elections In Even Year Elections in Even Year The crux of the political situation seems to grow out of the phraseology of the constitution which provides that elections shall be "in an even year." This has been interpreted to mean any even year, with no definiteness as to time, which makes it possible for continued postponement of election meeting the proviso of the constitution, to be held in "an even year." After reviewing the economic situation in which showed no great material prosperity as a result of American Occupation, Prof. Logan concluded his address with the following recommendations: 1. Replace Brigadier General by a Civil Commission. Such officers are absolutely incapable of governing a civil population. 2. So amend the constitution as to change the date of election to the Legislature to April 10 instead of January 10, and to hold the election on April 10, 1930, even if it is necessary for Marine supervision as was had in Nicaragua. 3. Allow this Legislature to elect a president with the understanding that President Borno is ineligible to succeed himself. 4. If deemed advisable, appoint an Upper House of five members of American commission, five members of President Borno's party and five Republicans. 5. Give the Civil Commission the same power of veto as that exercised by the United States. Send Freeman Back 6. Drill Haitians in all phases of administration, especially the highest principles of finance. 7. Abolish present service technique and send Dr. Freeman back to America. Place both vocational and academic education under Haitian control. 8. Let our clear defined policy be to give Haitians a fair chance to govern themselves with the understanding that if they make good, they will become independent in 1996. PROF. M.

P. Cheatham, of North Carolina; Thomas E. Miller, of South Carolina; John R. Lynch, of Mississippi; and Oscar De Priest, of Illinois, are the men to be honored. The celebration will take the form of a banquet on February 10 for 400 persons of distinction invited from various parts of the country and a large mass meeting following immediately thereupon at the Washington Auditorium, with a seating capacity of 6,000. At this meeting many other Negroes of distinction elected to office in various parts of the country will be presented to the public. Each ex-member of Congress and the present incumbent will deliver addresses and an outstanding statesman of the other race will also be presented for a discourse in keeping with the occasion. The association is hoping to have the President or the Vice-President of the United States present. If neither one will be available a distinguished senator will be asked to function in this capacity. The purpose of the celebration, like that of the whole effort of Negro History Week, is to dramatize as an important achievement the fact that we have had Negroes elected to high office and as members of Congress and that we are unusually fortunate in having another to reappear in that body after a long period of social repression and political intrigue. The effort is national. It is not restricted to Washington. The committee in charge is composed of men and women from all parts of the country. Persons from afar have expressed their intention to participate and a nation wide interest is increasing from day to day. $50 Is First Prize In Essay Contest PHILADELPHIA.

You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, it gives more prompt relief than cough syrup, and it no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2½ ounces of Finex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained household milk or pint syrup. Fill the bottle of the money really sunt for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetration, soothing action on the inflamed thrombocytes. It is also absorbed in the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. It also acts in the time, it prompts the germ-laden phlegm. This threefold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent pinex. It is a double form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.

Government Employee Is Freed On Assault Charge James Wilson, an 18-year-old youth of Seat Pleasant, Md., and a messenger at the Bureau of Agriculture, was dismissed on an assault charge preferred against him by a Greek restaurant owner, in police court Wednesday. It was testified that the youth entered the restaurant at the corner of Fourteenth and B streets, southwest, Tuesday, to make a purchase. The Greek owner cursed the boy and when Wilson resented the vile language the Greek and five or six men in the place made a rush for the youth. While being crowded to the door the boy picked up a cigar cutter and struck one across the head and ran. The men pursued him across the street, hurling bricks at the fleeing boy. Wilson picked up one of the bricks and threw it in the crowd, splitting another head. Wilson was arrested by Fourth Prosecutive police and held in $50 bono Judge Schultz dismissed the case when it was proven Wilson struck the men in self defense. J. W.

PORO EXPOTION WATER SOLUTION Use Poro Vanishing Cream FARMER'S WEEKLY BREAD PEANUT BUTTER AS FOOD By WINIFRED THURLOW Director of the Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Company Many years ago a Southern housewife discovered that she could make a very appetizing paste from peanuts which she called peanut butter. For some time she manufactured peanut butter on a small scale in her home and peddled it on the streets. A confectioner heard of her product and became so interested in it that he began using it in his candies. A little later, a New York manufacturer heard of the product. He equipped a factory with large machines for making the product and from that time peanut butter was recognized as food of great importance. The peanut is considered one of the most nutritious foods known to man. A pound of peanuts will furnish about 2700 calories or almost three times as many calories as a pound of beef supplies. Peanut butter is a fairly well balanced food since it contains a high percent of fat and protein and also considerable carbo-hydrate, as well as a large amount of mineral matter. It is a splendid substitute for meat. However, because it is a highly concentrated food, it should be served in combination with other foods, preferably starchy and buelly foods. And peanut butter possesses the additional advantage of supplying protein at low cost to the consumer. It is easily digested and delightful in flavor. As a spread for sandwiches, peanut butter is unsurpassed. It may be thinned to a spreading consistency by the addition of a little milk or water. When combined with raisins, currents and other dried fruits, it makes a delightful filling for sandwiches which is splendid to use for children's lunches. Other suggestions for sandwich fillings are peanut butter and banana, peanut butter and onion, peanut butter and orange malamalade, peanut butter, figs and raisins, peanut butter and pimentoes, peanut butter and olives. PEANUT BUTTER SOUP 1 Cup milk 2½ Teaspoons peanut butter 1½ Teaspoons flour Seasonings Stir flour to a smooth paste in a little of the cold milk.

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. 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. Rubenstein, 1100 3rd St. N.E. A. Silverman, 1100 L St. N.W. J.

The Service of Song at the Ban- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JANUARY 17. 1930 A REAL TEST FOR PARK VIEW JOINS TRIBUNE READERS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS How many times have you heard the complaint that Negro papers carry nothing but "hair grease advertisements?" That used to be, but such advertisements will be pushed out of the paper almost entirely, if you will support our "better advertisement campaign." In our effort to place before our readers advertisements of the better sort, we have approached many dealers in all sorts of merchandise. Most of these dealers claim that white papers are the onl ones that are read and noticed by Negro newspaper readers in Washington. We claim that Negroes have as much race pride and group spirit as anybody—and that you show it by responding to ads appearing in your paper. On the back page of this issue more of Washington's leading merchants are advertising their wares for your convenience. It is our desire that they allow us to place such ads before you each week, but they will not unless you live up to the confidence that the Tribune places in you by responding to these advertisements. The commodities of those firms are first-class. If you are thinking of getting something—not listed in these ads—go down and buy it—we assure a fair deal. If you want to see your paper grow entirely away from the old type of advertisements, just support it and we will effect the change for you in a very short time. Be sure to mention the Tribune when you visit these stores and please act at once. Remember, high-grade advertisements require results! tist Church, under the direction of Mrs. Alberta Turner, rendered a very interesting program on Sunday night of last week.

Letters of your activities; of your THREE IDEALS THAT LEAD GARNET PUPILS TO SUCCESS By Caroline Howell The first ideal is, "be true;" second, "be trustworthy;" third, "dare to do right." First—Be true! Be what you seem to be or what you pretend to be; do not be a hypocrite; be firm and steady in adhering to friends, promises or principles. Be a true boy; be a true girl. Secondly—Be trustworthy; Be worthy of trust; be reliable; make your words your bond. Conduct yourself in such a way that people will depend on you. Third—Dare to do right; Whatever comes or doesn't come, stand by what you believe to be right, even if you have to stand alone. Be honest, upright, faithful, sincere, abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good. True boys and girl are scarce; they are not easily found. They do not grow on trees. But to tell you truth, we need good boys and girls, true boys and girls, more than we do educated boys and girls. All education without character is a dead weight. A BOOK REVIEW "Almost alone of the numerous novelists of Negro life, R. Emmet Kennedy has forsaken the garish background of Harlem and the distorted life of the jazz belt, 'Red Bean Row' is almost primitive in its simplicity and unsophisticated. The folk in the Negro culture a small Louisiana town are isolated from the intrusive influences of white civilization. They live elementary, careless, yet shrewdly practical lives. One suspects, in fact, that for the purposes of fiction Mr. Kennedy's characters have been a bit oversimplified—that no such people as this happy and simple folk who populate the pages of 'Red Bean Row' actually exist. But, in spite of the suspicion, it is impossibly not to delight in them, to sympathize with their moods and vagaries to smile at their unwittingly comic solutions to the problems of life. "Red Bean Row" is a smooth and entertaining tale, into whose veracity it is unprofitable to inquire. "Mr. Kennedy has collected a gal lery of picturesque and colorful characters—huge, kindly Gramma Veenia, the ancient presiding genius, of Red Bean Row; the stupid, garrulous Cora; Gisteen, a shrewd, lively little busybody, and Elder Dennis, the spiritual shepherd of the flock, who pays solicitous calls among the women of his FOUR Pets School work Week-end trips EDITORIAL The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNCE PUBLISHING 929 U Street, N.W.

These characters are all united in the bonds of juicy scandal. Red Bean Row is agog on enight that the most eligible bachelor of the quarter is scheduled to bring home his bride. Nebo has tactily insulted the maidens of the neighborhood by importing a girl from the country—a 'high-yeller,' moreover, with a reputation for haughtiness and a predilection for whitie folks' ways. Lucy proves to be all that rumor had reported. She is much younger than the steady, simple-hearted Nebo, and shows no disposition to receive the denizens of the Row as her equal. Gramma Veenia forsees trouble. From the vantage point of her rocking chair on the front 'gallery' she shells snaps-beans for supper and awaits developments. "Trouble speedily manifests itself in the person of the young insurance collector who appears every Tuesday morning to collect the 25 cents due on Nebo's policy. The Row speculates a good deal on the protracted conferences between Lucy and the collector, but it is too occupied with the more conspicuous gallantries of Elder Dennis to anticipate the actual nature of the trouble. Nebo comes home from work unexpectedly one Tuesday morning, but Lucy cleverly outwits him. Then one night he is summoned from his house and fails to return. His neigh-machinery of the white man's law bors are too distrustful of the to appeal for help, and weeks pass without news of him. The whole chain of events is brought sharply to a head when Gramma Veenia, collecting firewood by the river, discovers Nebo's disfigured body on the shore. "The tenor of the story is so light throughout that the reader is quite unprepared for the real tragedy which ensues. The conclusion has a seperate and inharmonious air, as if it had been introduced without other excuse than the solution of the mechanical difficulties of the plot.

FEATURES AIR OF MYSTERY SURROUNDS GIRL LOST AND FOUND Miss Louise Chase, pretty Washington girl living at 1881 Third street, northwest, with Dr. and Mrs. R. T. Nelson, was found Wednesday after mysteriously disappearing from home on Monday. Friends refused to tell where Miss Chase was found, but said she was not in Washington. It was also learned that she was ill at the time she was located. Warren McDonald, her fiance, of Philadelphia, was in the city Tuesday to aid in the search and spur Metropolitan police on to renew effort in an attempt to locate the girl. Miss Chase had every reason to be happy with her friends as she was one of the leaders of the smart set and was identified with several of the more exclusive clubs of the city. She made her home with Dr. R. T. Nelson, 1881 Third street, northwest, where she has resided for seven years. She left home on the evening of January 6, and it was later found that she had taken the keys to her trunk and the house with her. All of her jewelry and clothes, including an expensive fur coat were left behind. She told occupants of the house that she was going for a walk. Friends became alarmed when she did not return at night and notified police. All of her friends were visited, but none knew of her whereabouts. Miss Chase was taking a treatment from Dr. C. B. Fisher for a cold and grippe.

SAPS DANCE AND HILL RECEPTION, WEEK'S FEATURES One of the looked for social events of the season will be over this Friday evening when the Saps, a popular society club of the city, will entertain their friends with a formal dance at Murray's Casino. All society will turn out en masse to this function. Many stunning and new evening frocks are being bought especially for this occasion and it promises to be one of the most attractive dances of the season. We are in receipt of an invitation issued by Mrs. Julia Hill, to a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hill on Friday, January 24, from 8 to 10 p.m., at 1451 W street, northwest. Mrs. Hill will be remembered as Miss Lucille Taylor, who recently announced her marriage to Mr. Leonard Hill in 1927. The couple are at home to their many friends, 1120 Twenty- fifth street, northwest. The Bamboo is indeed becoming popular. Many society maids and matrons find it more convenient and to their liking to wine and dine their guests at this rendezvous after playing bridge. It is a very good idea because besides having an appetizing menu served, the music adds so much pleasure to the evening's enjoyment. Miss Hope Gray took advantage of this opportunity on last Tuesday evening and entertained the Fortnightly Bridge Club there. The "boy friends" and husbands of the ladies joined them later and a most enjoyable evening was spent by the whole party. Not only are the society leaders finding it convenient to entertain at the Bamboo, but we find those of the educational circle joining the crowd in seeking some of the pleasure afforded by this little castle of enjoyment. Last week the Teachers' Union was delightfully entertained there. We are sure from the comments passed they (meaning those in authority) found out why it has become popular and we are sure they will not pass judgment on mere hearsay in the future, before seeing things for themselves. Mrs. Sadie Engram entertained the Thursday Evening Bridge Club last week at her beautiful home on Columbia road, northwest. Those present included Katherine Beard, Mildred Giles, Justine Greene, Thela Amos, Carrie Boyd, Vivian Turner, Ethel Harris, Irene Miller, Grace Milton, Marie Long, Muriel Milton, Pearl Adams, and Minnie Patterson from New York City.

AMOCO·GAS AMERICAN OIL COMPANY Allied with Pan American Providence & Transportation Company Governor Office, Baltimore, Md. BASKET BALL RENAISSANCE vs. LICHTMAN 5 500 SEATS--TUESDAY, JAN 21--PYTHIAN TEMPLE--ADMISSION 50c GAME CALLED -- 9:30 P.M. RENAISSANCE TO MEET LICHTMAN '5' HERE TUESDAY The Lichtman Theatre basketeers will get the acid test on January 21 when the Actors meet the world champions New York Renaissance on the floor of the Pythian Temple. The Renaissance have been rated the peer of ball tossers and have yet to taste defeat this season. Two new additions to their lineup this year makes the team more formidable than ever. "Bill" Nancy and "Big" Cooper, both of the famous Philadelphia Giants, are two of the greatest in the game and are sure shots. This aggregation of stars travel every night except Sunday when they play their home games in New York. Clarence "Fats" Jenkins is rated the fastest man in basketball while "Pappy" Ricks, star forward, is called by experts the greatest shot in the country. Ricks' average score per game is 14.6 points. Harold Mayers, guard, has been nick-named "Shut Out" due to his record of holding such men as Benny Borgman, Nat Holman and Johnny Beckman scoreless from the floor. Captain Hilton Slocum is an unusual smart and clever player and one of the best showmen in the game. The Lichtman quint will present their usual lineup and with the addition of Dennis Simpson the squad has been considerably strengthened. The two Davis brothers, "Slim" Thomas and Willie Hope will complete their starting line. If this combination is in form the Renaissance tossers are in for a battle and fur surely will fly. Phelps Mechanics Win Doubleheader in 'Y' Gym Phelps Vocational basketeers won a doubleheader in the Y.M.C. A. gymnasium, Monday, by defeating the Comrades in the first game, 22 to 13, and Spartans in the second tilt by a 22 to 14 count. On this Friday the Vocational lads will play Frederick a return game at the Y.M.C.A., and on January 24, the Mechanics meet Stanton High School at Annapolis. Phelps have several open dates and would like to arrange games with high school teams in Washington. R The world champions Renaissance of New York, greatest basketball team in the country, will play the Lichtman Five here at the Pythian Temple on Tuesday, January 21. Left to right they are Jenkins, Yancey, Ricks, Mayers, Saitch, Slocum and Cooper. HAMPTON QUINT WALLOPS UNION HAMPTON, INST., Va.—The Hampton Seasiders journeyed to Richmond, Friday night, and won a fast game from Union University by the score of 30-22. The game was made fast by close quarters of the Johnson Hall and marked by excessive fouls, many being of the football variety. Hampton got away to a slow start, Union scoring the first point on fouls but once under way the Blue and White basketeers were not to be stopped. Alexander, high point man for the Seasiders, was showing rare form. Taylor and McGowan were strong on the defence for Hampton holding boys in check throughout the game. Ellis, Union star, accounted for eleven of his team's twenty-two points. Kellar, Ellis' running mate, played a strong defensive game. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1930 Boxer Peeved At Ruling Of New York Commission NEW YORK—Carl Carter, the Cuban heavyweight, holds quite a bit of resentment against the local boxing board, and he has just cause for feeling so. When Carter was preferred as an opponent for "Kid Boots" Primera by Jess McMahon this week, he was turned down by the boxing board. And Carter wishes to know why. Since his return from Paris, the Cuban has been training diligently in preparation for his first start of the New Year here. TEACHERS BEAT SOLDIERS MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The Alabama State Teachers College quintet won a two game series from the Twenty-fourth Infantry team here Monday and Tuesday night by the scores of 32-16, the first game and 38-14 the second. INTER CLASS LEAGUE Shaw Junior High School will inaugurate an interclass basketball league and play will get under way next week. MINER NORMAL TO PLAY COPPIN Miner Normal basketball team will journey to Baltimore, Friday, to do battle with Coppin Normal tossers of that city. A bus load of rooters will leave early in the afternoon with the team to help cheer the boys to victory. The next game will be with the Howard Freshmen on January 27. On February 5, the Normal school quint will play Bowie Normal here, and on March 19, the same teams will play in Washington. A game with Cheneyny Normal here and at Cheneyny is being planned by Manager Eun. This is the first year that Miner Normal will not play high school teams. All high school teams have been dropped from the schedule. Members on the first team are: Hopkins, center; Cawthorne and Shamwell, guards; and Epps and Smith, forwards. Substitute are: Ford, Landers and Keys, guards, and Ray, forward. Lloyd Wormley, of the Howard Medical School, is coach. Team That Beat Dunbar To Play Techmen On Friday On Friday, the Armstrong Techmen will lock horns with the Arrows, a fast bunch of basketball players, on the floor of the school gymnasium. The Arrows defeated Dumbar last Friday and fans look forward to a bitter struggle when Armstrong toss balls with these ex-high school men. Armstrong has the heaviest schedule in years. Six games have already been played with the Techmen coming out on top in all. Last Friday Armstrong turned back Bowie Normal by a 42 to 15 score and on Monday the school boys handed the Wonder Five a 35 to 12 licking. The schedule for the rest of January and February follows; January 20—H. U. Freshmen at Armstrong. January 22—Y.M.C.A. at Arm- strong. January 24—Pleasant Plains A. C. at Armstrong.

Douglass And Cardozo To Play In Washington Today Due to a mix-up in the schedule Cardozo Business High basketball team will meet Douglass high, of Baltimore, here today, and not in Baltimore as was published last week. The game will be played in the Garnet-Patterson gym and is scheduled to start, at 8:30 p.m. The Clerks will meet Douglass in Baltimore on February 7. On next Friday, Cardozo will play Manassas here. ITMAN 5 E--ADMISSION 50c M. D. GLASCOE MACK ELECTED BISON LEADER FOR 1930 D. GLASCOE MACK ELECTED BISON LEADER FOR 1930 Daniel Glascoe Mack, O Baltimore, was elected 1930 Bison leader at the annual Howard University football banquet held in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Friday. Fourteen men were awarded letters and Hawkins and Marshall were recipients of gold footballs. The other men received sweaters. Mack is in his fourth year and started his football career at Douglass High School, Baltimore, where he captained the team in his last year. The men receiving letters were: Herbert Adams, Earl Ellis, Marcus Greenlee, Wm. Hagins, Earl Harris, Thos. E. Hawkins, Clarence Lee, Daniel G. Mack, John C. Marshall, Walter Peyton, Louis Stokes, Jos. Whiting and William Walker, manager. John Hull, president of the Student Council expressed (on behalf of the student body) gratitude for the splendid courage and fine sportsmanship which the team had shown in spite of continued losses, and especially for the triumph of Thanksgiving day when they held Lincoln the popular favorites, to a scoreless tie. Dr. E. P. Davis, President of the Board of Athletic Control acted as Master of ceremonies. Following the dinner Hawkins, Harris and Marshall were called upon to speak. Hawkins struck the keynote of the evening in urging clean athletics and a high grade of scholarship, stating that if football players at Dartmouth can win Phi Beta Kappa there is no reason in the world why football players at Howard cannot make the honor roll. The announcement that no member of the squad had been placed on probation because of deficiency in studies during the autumn quarter was received with loud applause. Coach Verdell was next introduced and expressed satisfaction and that he was proud of his team because he knew they had done the best that they could against adverse circumstances and that they had won great glory with the spirit of sportsmanship which was keenly manifested throughout the season. Following the address of President Mordecal W. Johnson, in which he assured the squad of its contribution to amateur athletics of the highest type the lettermen retired to elect a captain for the coming year. Mack was the unanimous choice of the team and received the hearty commendation of the coach. Wm. Walker shared with the team and coach the honor of a successful season. PHELPS WIN AND LOSE TO ASBURY PHELPS WIN AND LOSE TO ASBURY FREDERICK, Md.—The Phelps Vocational basketball quintet outplayed the Asbury team here Friday in a game that was full of thrills from start to finish. The Washington team won the verdict by the score of 20-17. Phelps led at the end of the first half by a 11-10 score. Giles led his team in scoring by shooting four field goals and one free throw for a total of 9 points. The passing of Coates and Taylor kept the Asbury lads on the jump. Crampton with three goals and one shot from the foul line for seven points was the leading scorer for his team. In the preliminary game the Phelps second team was defeated by the Asbury subs by a 22 to 4 decision. A field goal by Johnson, forward, and another by West, guard, was the total scoring for the Phelps Juniors. Armstrong High School basketball team may lose three of their star players when the city series is played for the District high school basketball championship. However, a little thing like that isn't worrying Coach Westmoreland because he has three quints and is in a quandary as to the best of the lot. Poston, Tate and Dale were to graduate in February, but they elected to wait until June so all three worked all summer and fall and plan to enter school in February. Dunbar officials say the three will not be eligible as a player has to be in school 20 days before he can play. As Dunbar and Armstrong are scheduled to meet on February 14, none of the three will be able to play. Dale was elected captain of the quint last year and is one of the best in high school circles. With the wealth of material on hand a little thing like losing three men, although they are stars, isn't worrying Coach Westmoreland.

Elected Bison Leader SAMUEL DANIEL GLASCOE MACK, How- ward University end, was elected captain of the 1930 edition of the squad at the annual banquet, Friday. ST. PAUL SWAMPS BRICK, 40 TO 13 LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—With increasing bright prospects for another great C. I. A. A. floor team, Coach Hubert Taylor's Black and Orange tossers decisively defeated St. Joseph Brick's passers from Enfield, N. C. 40 to 13, Saturday. The game was fast from start to finish as excellent floor work was exhibited by the visitors, but their inability to find the cage proved their downfall. In the initial period St. Paul showed the determination of being the titular group of the evening and dropped three baskets within the first minute of play. Judges Disagree, Flowers Tut Battle Called A Draw CHICAGO. Ill.-Bruce Flowers, sharp shooting lightweight, of New Rochelle, N.Y., won a sizzling 10-round battle from King Tut, of Minneapolis, here Friday night, but the judges called it a draw because they failed to agree with the referee. The fight took place in the Chicago Stadium. One judge voted for Flowers, another called it a draw and the referee, Dave Barry, cast his vote for King Tut. Flowers took a count of nine in the third round, but after that he scored time and again in a long range battle, keeping Tut off of him and beating him repeatedly to the punch. The two fighters were immediately rematched for a return go on January 24. HALL SCORES 9 GOALS AS HOWARD BEATS ST. PAUL HALL SCORES 9 GOALS AS HOWARD BEATS ST. PAUL The Howard University basketball team won its first conference game by defeating St. Paul, 49 to 30 in the university gymnasium Wednesday night before a packed house. At half time the Bison dribblers were leading n 10 to 4 count. Little Hall, Howard forward, not only was the star of the game, but this youngster almost scored half of his team's points. Hall looped nine doubledeckers from the court and tossed in one free shot for a total of 19 points thru his individual efforts. Hughes Stars Another brilliant performer was Hughes, St. Paul forward, who sent five field goals thru the cords and made four out of five tries from the 15 foot line. His total for the night was 14 points. The baffling and uncanny passwork of the Howard basketters coupled with clever team work carried them to an undisputed victory as the final period came to a close. Howard, Taker, Lead Howard Tucker Dead At the beginning of the opening play Beaseley and Taylor dropped in a pair from under the basket after les than one minute of playing giving the Bisons a 4-0 advantage. This was, short-lived, however as St. Paul evened the count at four all as Hughes looped a field goal at long range followed by another by McNair from the center of the court. St. Paul took the lead for the first time when Hughes sank another deuce spot from far down the court giving his mates a 6-4 decision. McNair boosted St. Paul's score by shooting from under the nets making the count 8-4 for St. Paul. Howard started a fast passing attack with Hall and Williams doing the gunning and soon the score was in another deadlock, 8-8. Hall again in a brilliant shot, put the ball thru the net for a 10-8 score for Howard and from then on the Bisons were never headed. Time and again St. Paul threatened to tie the score, but the local tossers never trailed during the rest of a bitter struggle. Open Passing Attack In the final minutes Howard cut loose with a scintillating passing attack that sent the score continuously skyward while St. Paul tried desperately to stem the tide of battle. SEVEN LUCKY STREAK OF STEWARTS BROKEN The Lichtman Theatre quint broke the winning streak of the here-to-fore invincible Stewart Brothers, Silver Springs, Md., white, team last Thursday on the floor of the Phythian Temple by the score 47 to 23. The white boys had previously won 20 consecutive games and came to town fully confident of making the Actors their twenty-first victim. During the early part of the first half it looked like the visitors were to achieve their goal as the local quint was on the short end of the score. As the half ended the Actors managed to forge ahead of a 20-18 count. "Slim" Thomas, Lightman pivot man, accounted for eight goals from the floor while the brilliant team work of his mates took the Marylanders by storm. Near the end the Actors set a killing pace that kept the Brothers baffled. The work of Simpson, Davis, Hope and Thomas featured the contest. Georgetown Meets Setback The Georgetown Community Five was handed a setback in their tilt with Willow Tree Tossers, 13 to 9. The boys from Georgetown were apparently suffering from an attack of stage fright as they were unable to display any of the form that marked their debut, although displaying a super defensive game were unable to shoot with any accuracy. Coach Jimmy Lee is working hard to iron out the rough spots and this team will soon make itself heard from in the basketball field with a strong and fast team that will be hard to beat. PRA¢ERS STOP BASKETBALL St. Paul basketball team was scheduled to play Virginia State at Petersburg, Va., this week, but due to a week of prayer being conducted at Virginia State the game was cancelled. GIRLS SEEK ACTION The Elks girls' basketball team under the management of Mrs. F. Miner, 314 S Capital street, is anxious to book games with other teams in the District. For games write Mrs. Miner. The Howard team received a big hand when they trotted out on the floor in new uniforms. The suits were blue with white lettering and borders. In the preliminary doubleheader the Howard Freshmen defeated the Y.M.C.A. by a 9-6 score and dropped a 12-9 tilt to the Arrows. Broadway's Playboy Started in Washington Dance Halls Don't Be Misled OUR CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUB DOES NOT CLOSE UNTIL FEB. 1st EIGHT By Wm. H. Shanwong Picture the sudden rush of lightning on the summer sky. Imagine a sudden clap of thunder. The dynamic effect of the roll of drums on the air is all the spout of veneness and the atmosphere of perfect harmony. That's Duke Elliberton Duke, or as he is intimately known, Ed' Ellington was born in Washington. When very young his one ambition was to become a great trap-player and after several ten years of drumming on the pans with knives and marking the furniture with pencil ends he became the proud possessor of a drum. But festiny held other things in store for this curly head youngster and soon after this, he succumbed to his first piano lessons. His tutor was an old German professor, who lived long enough to see his pupil gain fame by his prowess of musical ability. Duke attended school in Washington up to a late day when his musical complex urged him on to a higher attainment. With a few Washington boys, Duke formed an orchestra overnight and after a few rehearsals they played at one of the local dance halls and went over big. Encouraged by this, he enlarged his orchestra and ambition ahead, they ventured to New York to try a hand at "big-time." The months that followed were both disappointing and encouraging. From one dance hall to another they played until finally a break landed them in a small downtown night club. They became an instantianous success although it was a pretty long time before his name was ever mentioned near Harlem. Another break landed him and his boys in he new "Cotton Club" and after week's try-out they became a permanent fixture. Gradually theame Duke Ellington and HisCotton Club Orchestra became well-nown both uptown, downtown andven out-of-town. People flockedrom every direction to hear andce this sensation and overnighthe became the idol of New York—broadway's play-boy! Then flatteringoffers of other clubs, shows, pictures and the like literallypoured in and Ellington smiled his deepmile, and continued to drawthe rows at the Cotton Club. Recently, he accepted an offer to play daily at one of the large New York motion picture palaces and when this was fulfilled he began work on a short Vitaphone act entitled "Black and Tan" which was produced at a Long Island studio. later he accepted an offer to broadcast over one of the largest radio stations of the world weekly, and still Ellington smiled his deep smile. He knows now just what awaits the persistent climber at the top of the ladder. Ellington recently fulfilled an engagement at one of the Washington dance salons and the police were forced to form a cordon to escort him to his waiting car. Duke's favorite trip and the one to which he always anticipates is the one when he journeys back to Washington to see his folks who reside at 1212 T street, northwest. These trips are often, sometimes only lasting a night but long enough to breathe his own atmosphere. BILLIE DOVE AT THE REPUBLIC Billie Dove in her latest all-singing-talking-dancing picture, "The Painted Angel," will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, January 18, 19, 20 and 21. Edmund Lowe supports Miss Dove in this picture. Do you want the truth about night club hostesses? Then see "The Painted Angel." "Footlights and Fools," Colleen Moore's greatest production, will be shown on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 22, 23 and 24. Singing, dancing and natural color predominate in this musical success. "Footlights and Fools" is Colleen Moore's greatest picture because it is a $6.60 musical success with great songs, 150 dancing girls, beautiful costumes, a male vocal chorus and a love story as thrilling as "Lilac Time." And there are many scenes in technicolor. The management of the Republic announces that Rudy Valle, radio's greatest personality, will be shown in his first picture, "The Vagabond Lover," starting Saturday, January 25.

There were more theatres closed in the past year than ever before in history. Of course we have more theatres than we ever had, and they are still building more. I am of the opinion that every large city in the United States is over seated, and that is partly the cause of poor business, not enough theatre goers to fill all the seats, then too, the radio is surely cutting in on the box office. Why, a man can sit at home with his family and hear a drama, or the same songs and jokes he hears at the theatre. Why should he pay the family's fare to the theatre, when he can hear it for nothing? I have been told by the better business men and expert showmen, that 1930 would be a great improvement in business, and that show business would enjoy a big profitable business. I do hope that they know what they are talking about, and even if they are dreaming, please let their dreams come true. As to yours truly, I cannot see anything in store. I do not believe that 1930 will enjoy a more prosperous business in the colored theatres than 1929 did. In fact, I look for it to be even worse, of Karl Dane, the famous "Slim" of "The Big Parade," plays a gob in Uncle Sam's navy in his latest role of the screen. He is "Sven," principal comedy role in Metro Goldwyn-Meyer's "Navy Blues," which stars William Haines in his first all-talking play and which will come to the Lincoln Theatre next week. Anita Page plays the heroine and the cast includes Wade Boteler, J. C. Nugent, Edythe Chapman and others of note. I will now take Washington, the old Howard has not done so well this season, but the Whitman Sisters packed them in. Recently Butter Beans and Susie were here packing them in, and when Drake and Walker come they will pack them in also. So after all the public knows what it wants, and you can't force them to take what they do not want. I think that the only redemption for the colored theatre is a chain, under one management, and build its own attractions to fit the circuit. Of course all of the houses must be carefully selected, modernized, and equipped, as all first class theatres should be equipped, and as sure as I am writing, some day the wise showmen will form a syndicate, and put this in operation. The right men have never taken a hand in colored theatres yet, but they will, and Warner Brothers, Loew's Fox, and the big syndicates are forcing them to do it.

(Continued from column 1) Early in his career as a screen director, Vidor wanted to stage a Negro drama, and had in his head the very story of "Halleujah" which he based on his own experiences. Finally, with the coming of the talking picture, he was given his chance. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer decided that, with the rich field of Negro music, blues and spirituals to augment the drama, it would be one of the marvels of the season. Vidor at once started work on adaptor, and Wanda Tuckchock, scenarist, and then set out to find his story, with Richard Schayer, cast. It required a cast of perfect actors for principals; his extras he decided to choose on location along the banks of the Mississippi. He journeyed to Chicago visiting the famous Apex Club and other Negro night clubs and many Negro theatres, then went to New York, where he hired a hall and interviewed fully a thousand aspirants for roles. Out of this he chose Daniel Haynes, singing "Old Man River" in "Show Boat," and recognized as a dramatic actor for his work in "Earth" and other plays, for Zeke, the hero. From the dancing chorus of "Blackbirds of 1928," a lifting burlesque, he chose pretty Nina Mae McKinney for the role of Chick, the charmer. The role of "Missy Rose" he filled from a phonograph record, when he chose Victoria Spivey, famous "blues" singer, and Harry Gray, ex-slave, former preacher, and Harle meditor he cast for The Parson. The 86-year-old actor gives one of the greatest performances in the picture.
