COMMITS SUICIDE IN VESTIBULE OF ESTRANGED WIFE Husband Kills Self When Efforts to Reconcile Wife Fails Coston H. Suel, an employee in the Register of Treasurer's office, blew his brains out in the vestibule of his estranged wife's home, 436 Canal street, southeast, Monday, when all efforts to effect a reconciliation with his wife proved fruitless. A coroner's jury at the District Morgue rendered a verdict of suicide, Tuesday. Friends of the dead man say he had been separated from his wife for eleven years. He was a frequent visitor at 32 Pierce street, northwest, with a Mrs. Bell, who occupies a second floor apartment at the Pierce street address. Mrs. M. Jones, who lives on the first floor, told a Tribune reporter that Suel was at her home the night before he took his life. While visiting her and Mr. Jones Suel appeared to be upset. He told her that he had not seen his wife in eleven years and recently he learned that she was about to bring suit for separate maintenance. The man swore that before he would give his wife a cent he would rather be in h—. A disagreement with a girl friend also contributed to his despondency, said Mrs. Jones. Friends of the main said his wife decided to bring suit when she learned her husband had steady employment. His fellow employees say Suel was well liked by his employers and was one of the most popular men in the Bureau. Suel is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Suel, 436 Canal street, and mother, Mrs. Luther Standard, Erle, Pa. He is a veteran of the world war and a member of the James E. Walker Post, American Legion.

May Employ 50 By way of celebrating Negro History Week and starting on Lincoln's birthday, the Sunrise Cleaners and Dyers opened their modernly equipped plant on Sheridan Road, southeast, just off Nicholas avenue, Wednesday. The sun certainly rose on a new industrial plant among Negroes of Washington, Wednesday. They are to have $10,000 worth of machinery which gives them a daily capacity of about 2,000 garments. The Sunrise will do both wholesale and retail work, and when running to capacity, will give employment to 50 or more persons. The company was incorporated in January 1929 for $25,000 with stock at $100.00 per share. The stockholders are principally of the men who have their own tailor shops but no facilities for dry cleaning, and who have recognized the increasing pressure put upon them by the big cleaners to freeze them out. There is some talk of the big cleaners putting in branch offices like the laundries. All the men connected with the Sunrise are experienced men. Harry Gordon, the general manager has had long experience in dry cleaning work. Theodore Webb, the technician in charge of the silks and spot work, has had twenty years experience in some of the largest plants in the city. The officers of the corporation are Ollie Davis, president; Harry Gordon, vice-president and general manager; M. C. Williams, treasurer; Dewey Ackis, secretary; and D. A. Estes, assistant secretary. Mrs. L. Whitley will have charge of the office. 15 Workers Killed by British In So. Africa JOHANNESBURG (CNS)—Fifteen natives were killed in a clash at Fordsburg (Transvaal). Many arrests have been made. Reinforcements of police, armed with tear gas bombs and all other modern weapons, have been ordered to proceed to the places of unrest "to restore order." THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. Washington Tribune Vol. IX, No. 42 Praises ashi 12 JUSTED F TEA TEACHER SUES MATE DRUGGIST NAMED DEFENDANT IN SUPPORT SUIT DRUGGIST NAMED DEFENDANT IN SUPPORT SUIT Druggists' Wife Says Mate Refused to Support Her or Child Charging that her husband, Dr. George W. Beasley, had deserted her and failed to support her or their child, Mrs. Edna Beasley, a school teacher living at 1111 Columbia road, northwest, entered suit for separate maintenance this week. The husband, who declares that his wife wants to be a "grand lady" and teaches their child to call him "nasty daddy," conducts a drug store at Third and Virginia avenue, southeast. Earns $750 Per Month In her bill of complaint filed through Attorney John H. Wilson, she alleges that he has failed and refused to support her and their minor child in the year 1929 to the present time. She says, according to bank deposits which she made for him, his average income is $750 a month from his business. His contribution toward her support, she alleges, has been $8 a week only and as a result she and their child are in want. Uses Money for Business He explains his refusal to support them, she states, by saying that he must take his money to build up his business and to pay his employees, one of whom is Dr. Clay Beckley. Mrs. Beasley says Dr. Beckley is related to her husband. Dr. Beasley says he is related to his wife. At the beginning of 1930, Mrs. Beasley says, her husband admitted he was not providing for his family and agreed to convey their home at No. 750 Harvard street, northwest, to her that she might dispose of it by sale or take in roomers in order that the amount obtained plus $10 a week which he agreed to give her would net her $25 a week. He left her and lived for a few days with his mother and at his place of business. Returned Home She signed an agreement and gave him a copy to sign. His lawyer, she states, advised him he had made a mistake in, leaving home. He broke the door and re-entered, she says. After his return, she states, he sought to prosecute her for an assault, but the prosecution Roscoe C. Bruce Dropped From Bank Directorate NEW YORK—Roscoe Conkling Bruce, former first assistant superintendent of public schools here, and resident manager of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Garden Apartments, has been dropped as a director of the Dunbar National Bank. Mr. Bruce was the first colored man elected to the board of the Dunbar National Bank. The other Negro members of the board are Fred R. Moore and Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee. It is a question whether the suit filed and won by Mrs. Harriet Shadd Butcher with a judgment for $3,000 handed down on November 22 had anything to do with his being dropped from the board. Woman Uses Lover's Gun to Slay Self NEW YORK—Melancholy, intensified by intoxication, was blamed by police for the shooting of Ross DePitts by his sweetheart, Marie Murray, and her suicide early Sunday morning. After shooting her lover in the right side, Miss Murray turned the gun on herself and shot through her heart, from which she died instantly. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 WAS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE HOODWINKED BY THIS GROUP? THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE ON THE RAILWAYS Changes that this picture taken of ex-President Coolidge and a delegation which represented themselves as Negro Bankers which was later used by a local insurance company in its advertising campaign is ever in the mind of President Hoover and is one of the chief reasons why he refuses to pose with Negro delegations were made this week. While the official consent of President Coolidge was said to have been obtained before his picture was placed on a calendar by the company it is said that Mr. Hoover does not care to be subjected to the same embarrassment. There are only two bankers in the group, they are Major R. R. Wright and Dr. John R. Hawkins. NATIONAL BENEFIT SCORED FOR USE OF PRESIDENT'S PHOTO Predecessor Incident Keeps Hoover from Posing With Negroes, Claim The placing of a picture of former President Coolidge posing with a Negro delegation on a calendar by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city was advanced this week as one of the reasons why President Hoover refuses to be photographed with similar delegations. This theory of the President's refusal was brought forward by James H. Howard, of Washington, in a letter published in the Philadelphia Tribune. The letter reads: "The Editor: "In a recent issue of the Tribune a statement was made relative to President Hoovers declaration to be photographed with the commission that he had appointed to raise five hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting a memorial to the Negro soldiers and sailors who have served in the wars of the nation. "Though I do not know specifically his reason, he most probably had in mind the unnecessary exploitation made of a picture made with a group by his predecessor, Mr. Coolidge. Having been called upon by a delegation of twelve representing themselves as bankers, when incidentally only two were really bankers, the ex-president allowed him-(Continued on page 109). Mortician's Leg Fractured John T. Rhines, of 302 I street, southwest, fell on the ice recently and fractured the large bone in his right leg below the knee. He has been confined to his room, but is improving nicely. Mr. Rhines is an undertaker at Third and I streets, southwest, where he has established a thriving business and has proven himself to be one of the substantial business men of Washington. He is a member of several fraternities here and very popular in the Elks. HAITI NEEDS U.S. SAYS BORNO PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti.—Four more years of dependence upon America for assurance of peace will place the republic of Haiti in a position to hold legislative elections, according to President Louis Borno. "Legislative elections for Haiti are a practical certainty in 1936," the President declared. "I think it would be a very simple matter to hold them in 1934, thus giving a national government two years cooperation with the American government before the treaty comes to an end in 1936. "Legislative elections are an impossibility at this time, because our republic must depend too much on the United States government for its peace tranquility, stabilization and general help." Man Out of Job, Falls From Hunger An unusual case was presented to puzzled hospital physicians in the emergency room of Freedmen's Hospital last Tuesday when a fifty-one-year-old laborer, who gave his name as Benjamin Holme, was rushed to the hospital by William Cole, a passing motorist, of 216 R street, northwest, after he had fallen out in the street. The man was found to be suffering from under-nourishment. He told a pitiful story of long fruitless searches for a job, and having not eaten for several days, finally fell in the street from cold and hunger. The unfortunate was treated by Drs. John West and Rupert Sancho, and a big refreshing dinner was served him from the hospital kitchen, after which negotiations started under way for his permanent subsistence. Knocked Down by Auto, Trampled by Horse An automobile and a horse injured the leg and foot of Richard Shorter, 30 years old, of Freedman's Court, in quick succession, Monday. Shorter is a street cleaner. He was crossing Fifth street and Q street, northwest, when he was struck by an automobile driven by Timothy W. Fisher, of 1838 Seventh street, northwest. Before he could regain his feet he was trampled by a horse, attached to a wagon driven by John Mayers, of 2446 Georgia avenue, according to police reports. OFFICE: 920 U St., N.W.

CO-EDS RESENT MALE PHYSICIAN AT HOWARD UNIV. Lack of Funds Prevent School Hiring Woman Doctor, Says Officials Howard University co-eds are to be examined by a man doctor and girls who quibble over having this physical test may have a special examination by a woman or someone agreeable to the student, university officials made known this week. The Tribune received several letters from parents protesting against their daughters being examined by a man and asked this paper to investigate the matter, as it was reported that students who refused to take the test would be dismissed from the school. **Parents Protest** One parent wrote the following letter to the Tribune: "It is reported that the Howard University officials are having all students undergo a physical examination and that girls as well as boys are stripped of all clothing and examined by a man physician. I have two female relatives who are students and who live in the city and both have been notified they must be examined in this way. Their mother fears that if she refuses to permit this her daughters will be dismissed from school. Will (Continued on page fourteen) Woman, 60, and Child Badly Burned One woman and a child were admitted to Freedmen's Hospital on last Monday as results of accidental fires from cook stoves. Mrs. Alice Hall, 60, of Highland Park, Md, was working around a cook stove when the flames leaped out and set her clothing afire. She was painfully burned about the arm, hands and body, and immediately carried to Freedmen's Hospital. Her condition at present is improved. Little Mary Howard, eight years, became ill and fainted in the home of her mother at Bowie, Md., falling on a stove. She received burns about the right side, abdomen, hips, chest, and arms. Her condition is considered serious. BIGGER NOW 7 CENTS BETTER PRICE OUTSIDE WASHINGTON AND VICINITY, 10c A COPY FACULTY The third attempt of Mrs. Lucy Hall to follow her deceased mate into the Great Beyond by taking her own life was thwarted at the Freedmen's Hospital, Saturday. A pitiful tale of mental suffering and disillusionment was brought to light when the young woman was rushed to the emergency ward after she had drained a mixture of alcohol and turpentine in her third suicide attempt. According to a story told to the Tribune by friends of the victim the young widow has suffered from despondency ever since her husband was snatched suddenly from her side when he either fell or leaped to his death while the pair were riding on a Potomac River boat three years ago. The mystery surrounding the death of the young man has never been cleared and is constantly revived by each succeeding attempt of his widow to join him. This is the third time that Mrs. Hall has attempted to end her life since the ill-fated night that her husband disappeared in the waters of the Potomac. The first took place on the night of his death when passengers on the boat had a struggle to keep the bride from leaping after her mate. She later tried to destroy herself with poison, but was foiled in her attempt. Last week she again tried the same method, but was saved by Dr. Downing, of the Freedmen's staff. 10 --- MEANEST THIEF BEING SOUGHT BY POLICE MEANEST THIEF BEING SOUGHT BY POLICE 50th Anniversary of St. Lukes Marred by Visit of Robbers The meanest thief in town is being sought by local police on charges of entering the choir room of St. Luke's Episcopal Church and making off with garments valued at nearly $400, while the owner were singing praises, on Sunday night. The church was observing the fiftieth anniversary of the church and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the rector, the Rev. Thomas A. Brown, when the cultist got in his dirty work. How the garments were removed from the church without attracting attention is one of the mysteries the police must solve. The other is why was this particular room, which is by no means conspicuous, chosen and why this special occasion. Because of these peculiar circumstances it is thought that the culprit is someone familiar with the layout and affairs of the church. Two of the coats were expensive furs worn by Mrs. Elizabeth A. Holman, of 1612 Ninth street, northwest, and Mrs. Abbie F. Ridick, of 752 Morton street, northwest; and the other two were men's overcoats belonging to James B. Lomack, of 1922 Fifteenth street, northwest, and A. L. Allen, Jr., of 234 V street, northwest. The derby hat belonged to C. B. Cooper, of 1936 Eleventh street, northwest. WOMAN'S ATTEMPT TO JOIN MATE IN DEATH FOILED Husband Leaped to Death In Potomac Three Years Ago Claim CHASE AND MOW'RY INEFFICIENT. IS BOARD CHARGE W. C. Chase and J. F. Mowery Said to be Inefficient by Board Two instructors at the Armstrong Technical Training School were dropped this week by the School Board at its meeting, Wednesday. W. C. Chase, instructor in printing, was fired by the Board for inefficiency and inability to conduct the instruction of his department. It is alleged that Mr. Chase could not turn out his work, that he has had a guide book in the shop for more than two years, which would require a month to print in any ordinary shop. It is also alleged that Mr. Chase would not care for the machinery under his charge, and was inefficient in discipline and care of the shop. Mr. Chase is the son of the late Calvin Chase. Mowery Also Out J. F. Mowery, instructor in auto mechanics at Armstrong High, was also dropped by the Board of Education, Wednesday, for inefficiency as an instructor and his failure to make any effort to improve. Miss E. F. G. Merritt, supervising principal of divisions 10 and 11, who will retire on June 30, was granted permission to take a position as instructor in the State College at Institute, W. Va., on June 9, 1330. She will teach there during the summer school from June 9 to August 10. Miss G. A. Coleman, a teacher in the domestic science department, was granted permission to practice her profession of chiropractic work after school hours. The death of E. A. Dandridge, assistant engineer at Armstrong High School, was announced by the Board. The offer of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School to present an approved duplicating machine to this school was accepted Wednesday. It was announced that the Secretary of Labor will detail a trained investigator of the Federal Vocational Department to make a vocational survey of the District for the vocational advisory committee. To Install Radios The Board voted, Wednesday, to accept the offer of 12 radios from the manufacturers to be installed in all the junior high schools and one or two elementary schools to test the possibilities of the educational value of radios in the schools.

Tyler murdered his 70-year-old grandmother, Ellen Tyler, during the theft of $1. In passing sentence, Judge Moss said that he would have given the boy the death penalty had it not been that the Maryland law classifies anyone up to 15 years as an infant. MILK SHREDDED CODFISH SHREDDED CODFISH BY WINIFRED THURLOW Director, Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Co. The Market of today affords us a choice from a great variety of fish that are sold in many forms. One of these which deserves frequent repetition in the menu is Shredded Codfish. It is very inexpensive food and lends itself to the preparation of many dishes that are as attractive as they are appetizing. Then, too, Shredded Codfish contain considerable iodine which is so essential in the balanced diet and is present in most foods only in minute quantities, if at all. The flesh of the cod is white and free from fat. It ranks high in protein and may be used as the main dish of a meal instead of meat. Whether it is served morning, noon or night, it adds variety and flavor as well as food value to the meal and the thrifty housewife nods approvingly as she glances at the price on her grocery bill. Like many other foods that have a high protein content, Shredded Codfish combines well with starchy foods such as rice, potatoes, etc. An especially delightful dish is creamed codfish whether it be served over toast in ramekins or in small nests of mashed potato which have been browned in the oven. Shredded Codfish balls are unsurpassed. They are most attractive when made small with a tiny sprig of parsley tucked into the center of each one just before they are served. SHREDDED CODFISH CAKES or BALLS 1 Cup hot mashed potato 1 Small egg 1 Cup hot fat 1/2 Cup Beardley's Shredded Codfish 1/4 Teaspoon pepper Frechen the Shredded Codfish with a little cold water and wring HOT CAKES AND HOT BISCUITS 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. 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: dry in cloth or drain in fine or hair sieve, or omit the salt from the potatoes when cooking and use the Shredded Codfish unfreshened. Add the codfish to the hot mashed potato, then the egg and pepper. Beat well, form into small balls or cakes and cook in deep hot fat just below the smoking point until a rich brown. Drain on brown paper and garnish with parsley.

Neither can these Caucasians appreciate the political racial traditions of these sons of Touissaint L'Ouverture and Emperor Christophe. They cannot feel nor respond to the spirit of this proud and poverty stricken black people. The appointment of the principal of The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to ascertain Haiti's educational needs, will of course prevent the possibility of any social issue either among the commissioners or in Haiti being raised but it does not suffice to satisfy the deep desire of black America to see black Haiti given a progressive square deal. President Hoover has erred we believe in trying to compromise the vital issues involved. He should have appointed some colored members on the commission." The Detroit Independent thinks the Haitians have little hope from the Commission. It says: "All six members on the commission proper are white. One U. S. senator and one congressman may be added later. The commission is expected to sail for Haiti late this month. "As we see it, Haiti will have very little to hope from the commission in the way of relief. What the Haitians want is the withdrawal of American Marines and the restoration of their national sovereignty. It appears that American capitalists already have too much at stake in Haiti to allow this. Dr. Moton's assignment is definitely outlined and does not vitally relate to the main issues in the Black Republic." The Savannah Tribune says that the members of the commission do not enjoy our confidence. It says: "President Hoover has appointed the Commission to investigate Haitian affairs. Since the announcement of this commission, efforts were made to influence the President to name a colored man as one of its members. The names of several outstanding men were mentioned, but the President failed to recognize any of them. With one exception the members of this commission do not enjoy THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 Four of the prominent figures at the National National Negro History Week celebration which was held here Monday.

They are from left to Miller and Henry Plummer Cheatham. the fullest confidence of our group." Speaking of withdrawing from Haiti with honor, the New York Age says: "That is a pretty hard proposition for the President or any one else to solve, as the question of honor is hardly consistent with any of the phases of the military occupation of Haiti, the subversion of its government and the establishment of military rule with the aid of marines and machine guns. The less said about honor in this connection the better." "Nasty Daddy" Suit (Continued from page 1) failed for lack of evidence. Slept Apart He refuses to sleep with her, to speak to her, or to buy anything for her or their child, she states. He told her, she says, she no longer appeals to him and for that reason he left home New Year's Day, and his re-entry into their home was for the sole purpose of build-up a defense against any legal proceedings she might take. Money Elsewhere After she threatened action, she says, he stopped depositing his earning and is secreting them in a further effort to evade supporting her and their child. Only $55 Per Month In his answer Dr. Beasley denies that he has failed to support his wife and child. He says his average net income is only $55 a month. At the time of their marriage, he says, he had purchased a lot in Deanwood for the purpose of building a home. He was employed as a drug clerk at $20 a week. She was a school teacher. After marriage she continued to hold her position as a teacher and in addition did hairdressing for white patrons. "Grand Lady" "The plaintiff, however, aspires to be a grand lady," Dr. Beasley says, "and was not content to move to Deanwood, but constantly cast up to the defendant his meagre earning capacity and continually told him that her white patrons said a beautiful girl like her deserved to have a rich husband." It was at her nagging insistence, he states, that he entered into the drug business in June, 1929. Attentions of Others He says his wife had told him that he could not satisfy her, and she had gone to several physicians, reporting to him that the first physician had informed her of this fact. She had from time to time boasted to him of the attentions other men were anxious to pay her and for several months prior to the filing of her petition for separate maintenance treated him coolly and had gone so far as to teach their child to call him "nasty daddy," he alleges. Too Many Gold Pieces Last Christmas he gave her a $20 gold piece, he states. At the time he saw in a box belonging to her several other gold pieces. She declined to explain their source, he says. He asked her if she had received them from a certain man, of whom she had spoken, he states, and she told him it was none of his business. Unsuited On the day before New Year's he requested her to share his bedroom, he says. She had not done so since November 15. She said, she wanted him to leave her as they were unsuited to each other. He went to live with his parents at 1102 Irving street, northwest. Charges Assault January 13, he returned and requested his key, he says. His wife told him, she states, she would have to consult her lawyer first. Two days later he returned again, followed her into the house, upstairs and into her room and got his key out of her hand bag in a bureau drawer. She attempted to strike him, he declares, and ordered him out, calling him "a yellow dog." When he returned about 11 p.m., that same evening, he states, she had put a chain bolt on the front door. He had to pry the chain off before he could enter. The next morning, he states, she followed him to the front door and struck him across the face with her hand. He reported the assault to an assistant United States attorney, he says, but there was no attempt to prosecute her. He says she would leave dirty dishes about the kitchen to go to motion picture theatres. He states that she is of a nagging, complaining and dissatisfied disposition.

A permanent committee composed of business, clerical, professional and lay leaders of this city was formed in the offices of the Philadelphia Tribune last Friday afternoon with more general employment of Negroes in public service corporations as its objective. The purpose of the committee was outlined by B. Washington Rhodes, chairman of the meeting and editor of the Tribune, as being a militant organization in the crusade for jobs for Negroes led by the Tribune and the Armstrong Association, a social service organization of this city. It was estimated by Wayne L. Hopkins, executive secretary of the Armstrong Association, in his remarks to the body, that approximately $100,000,000 annually was spent by Negroes of this city for absolute "creature necessities."

O.E. of W., gave the Training School a genuine surprise a few weeks ago when they voted enthusiastically and unanimously to make a donation of one hundred dollars to the institution. The school is in dire need of help and this splendid contribution from the Temple is genuinely appreciated. The District Training School Board is holding a training school mass meeting at Metropolitan A.M. E. Church, Friday, March 7, at 8 o'clock. Congressman Oscar DePriest will speak and the Training School girls will furnish the music. The girls of the Training School will present "When Truth Gets a Hearing," in the auditorium of the Armstrong High School, Thursday, March 27, at 8 o'clock. This will be the last time that the people of Washington will have an opportunity to see the pageant this year. It is to be presented in Baltimore, Chester, Philadelphia, and New York during the month of April. The Training School has a deficit of $5,000. The creditors of the institution have been most considerate, but there are many past due obligations that must be met and Miss Burroughs is begging her friends in the District to send contributions to the school. Any amount will be appreciated and will be used to pay on the new Trades Hall and to meet other pressing obligations. The school has friends in the city and it is their time to rally to this call. The Training School is not in the Community Chest because it is not a charity, but it is supported by public subscriptions just as other such schools are supported. You can give a dollar or more.

The player ain't a blow at Cunid's head, but the referee dodged and the blow landed on his finger, which was sore and bruised from the blow. Wheatley fell from the force of the blow and before he regained his feet his own players surrounded him, and with Coach Hurt, of Morgan, Wheatley was escorted to the dressing room. Threatened Referee Howard and Morgan fans rushed on the floor, but Referee Cupid cleared the court and sent the two teams into action. Wheatley had three fouls before the first half ended and during the half he told men at the score table that if the fourth was called on him "some one was going out of the game." He pointed at Referee Cupid when he made the remark. Over 2,500 frantic fans witnessed the contest which was won by Howard by a 31-22 score. For five years Morgan has boasted inter-collegiate championship, and this was Howard's last chance to defeat the mighty combination of Jones, Clark, Spencer and Wheatley. Game Tense The situation was tense from the very beginning as indicated by the fact that Morgan remained in huddle while the referee's whistle blew twice with Howard in position and ready to go. After the second whistle, Westmoreland declared a technical foul, and Williams made the initial score. Both teams passed cautiously for three minutes, when Spencer made a beautiful shot from the left side of the court, followed by a right hook by "Lanky" Jones. With this flash form by the champions, it seemed that Howard was doomed to the traditional defeat, but a tap play, Taylor to Hall, to Williams, who pivoted out of the arms of "Babe" Jones and scored, was an indication of a desperate fight to the finish. Morgan Leads With a score of 4-3 in his favor Lanky Jones made his famous one-hand loop from right center, but Williams, not to be out done, retaliated with another double decker, bringing the score to 6-5. Clarke finally got away from Smith and sank his only field goal of the entire first half. Just here with the score at 8-5 against them, the Bisons began the stampede which carried the Bears down to defeat. With two field goals in rapid succession by Williams, Howard sprang into lead by one point. Then Williams counted two more from the foul line, after which Morgan shot a foul, only to be followed by two more perfect foul shots by Williams, making the score 13-9. Then Harris scored twice on fouls with one by Hall, while "Lankey" Jones was adding a basket from the floor, making the score at half time, Howard, 16: Morgan, 11. Taylor Stars In the second half, Morgan came back with its usual dash in an attempt to overcome the Howard lead. "Lankey" Jones and Spencer, each scored a field goal which brought the champions within one point of the Bison parade, when Taylor broke through the famous five-man defense with a desperate dribble to ring another twin marker. From this point on the Bisons commanded the situation in spite of the Bears' bitter threat. Fouls Count Howard's semi-freeze and determined defense so completely baffled the champions that they began to foul right and left, in desperation. Howard took advantage of Morgan's confusion as indicated by the fact that Williams shot 8 fouls out of 11 tries, and Hall 5 straight, or a total of 15 out of 22 attempts, while the best that Morgan was able to collect was 2 out of 11. Smith guarded Clark so closely that he was able to get only two field goals in the entire game, and without a single foul. Basketball Tournament to Be Played at Y.M.C.A.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE THE GREAT GAME OF SPORT THE GREAT GAME OF SPORT By Edwin B. Henderson (Mr. Henderson is head of the athletics in the public schools of Washington and is a recognized authority on all sports. His articles will appear regularly on the sport page of the Tribune--Editor's note.) The movement to get rid of the coach as a director of the team on the playing field has made rapid progress in various sections of the country. A few weeks ago Yale, Harvard and Princeton were negotiating to bring about baseball games this spring in which coaches were to be eliminated during the on the playing field has made rapid progress in various sections of the country. A few weeks ago Yale, Harvard and Princeton were negotiating to bring about baseball games this spring in which coaches were to be eliminated during the game playing time. From this beginning it is expected that basketball and football games will be conducted similarly. Too many ideas seem new and radical. But not so. Back in June of 1927 the educators engaged in public school work in New York State were of the opinion that modern educational theories and the conduct of athletics in the school were at serious variance. Whereupon in October of that year General Regulation No. 1, of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association was adopted. This rule is as follows: "After the contest has begun, no coach or other adult, save the duly constituted officials governing the contest, shall interfere with the activity of the contestants." This regulation must be interpreted as prohibiting sideline coaching, . . . and also as prohibiting substitutions, or coaching between the halves by others than the contestants themselves. Provision is made for care of injuries and substitutions: Many Cities Changing Many Cities Changing In January, 1928, Detroit adopted similar rules for its city high school athletics. New York City and many cities in Massachusetts changed their procedures to agree with the new principle of 'player freedom with responsibility in inter-school sports, so that by January 1928, practically seven-eights of the public high school children in New York State, all of those in Detroit, and many schools in Massachusetts were attending schools whose representative teams were conducting their own contests unharmed by adult interference. This idea of "returning the game to the original owners" has met with bitter opposition whenever it has been introduced. It has been endorsed by such educational authorities as John Dewey, Professor of Philosophy in Columbia University, who describes the new departure as "the greatest advance step yet taken in school athletics," such psychologists and educators as Thorndike and Terman, Dean Holmes of Harvard, President Angel of Yale, Dean Arps of the Ohio State University, practically every state director of physical education and, indeed, every educator of note who has commented in any way on the new adjustment. Advance Step From the "Amateur Spirit in Scholastic Games and Sports-1922" by John Dewey we have the following: "Many of the claims that have been made for mental or moral training by means of sport have been nullified by the fact that judgement and decisions were not left with the players. Moreover, control of the game by those who are not playig inevitably makes winning the main object. The regu- lation that restores control of the games to the students engaged in them marks, in my opinion, the greatest advance step yet taken in school athletics." Of course the criticism of coaches from sports writers will be heard loudly, nevertheless this is the handwriting on the wall. Coaches and educators from all sections about the country are beginning to see the light and the experiments made have justified the restoring of the game to the original owners. WOLVERINES VICTORS By Milton L. Randolph ATLANTA, Ga.—Close guarding and better shooting enabled the Morris Brown Wolverines to come thru with a 36 to 26 win over the threatening fury of the Atlanta World's Cagers here Tuesday. THOMPSON vs. FITZGERALD CHICAGO.—Young Jack Thompson, coast welterweight, will meet Freddie Fitzgerald, white, of Youngstown, O., in a 10-round bout on March 1. Armstrong to Meet West Virginia Title Holders Armstrong will point for big game here on March 3, when the Techmen meet the championship Kimball, W. Va., high school team in an inter-sectional clash. The game will be played in the Howard University gymnasium and will mark the first time the two quints have met. Kimball won the West Virginia title last year at West Virginia State College, competing in a tournament with 16 schools from all over the state. The mountaineers have their championship team intact and are after annexing the District and South Atlantic High School Conference crown. BASKETBALL An unusual thing happened in the Howard- Lincoln game Monday night when Howard scored a point before the game started. Referee Westmoreland called a technical foul on Morgan for failing to start the game. Williams made the free toss before the game started, and Howard led by one point. Morgan will lose the famous basketball combination of Jones, Clark, Spencer and Wheatley in C.I.A.A. circles next year. The first three will graduate, and Wheatley will be barred for having played on the Athenians and other club teams. "Rap" Wheatley realized his error Monday night, and apologized to Referee Cupid. Being a true sportsman Cupid granted it. Coach Hurt was as much hurt as Cupid when Wheatley struck the referee. Hurt is one of the squares shooters holding down a job as college coach. Two defeats in one night was Morgan's lot as the Howard Freshmen walloped the Morgan Cubs by a 33-29 score in a red hot preliminary. The Howard-Morgan game was mighty rough. Howard had 12 persons and Morgan had 15. Be that as it may Morgan holds the whip in hand in games won this year on the hardwood. The Bears defeated the Bisons in Baltimore and New York, while Howard won the game this week, making the score 2 to 1 for the Baltimore quint. Another red hot contest is scheduled for Saturday night, when the Howard tossers meet Lincoln in New Jersey. Remember the last game here? With Armstrong the cock of the walk the high school basketball series is far from being finished. Coach Perkins is diligently taking his charges through their paces for the battle on Monday. A score board in the Howard gymnasium would solve a big problem as most of the fans attending the games never know what the score is until they read the Tribune. Harlan, Cardozo center, would make an excellent player if he would keep his head in a game. Getting sore and protesting the referee's decision don't win games or score points. Cunningham is the best player on the Cardozo Clerks' quint. This chap is fighting hard all the time while some of his mates are beefing to the referee. The Dunbar Poets are saying little these days. The Perkinmen are planning to reverse the scales on their arch enemies when the second tilt is played. LOS5 BY ONE POINT Inability to shoot foul goals cost Howard University another basketball game Saturday night when the Bisons lost to Bluefield in the last minute of play by a one-point margin. The final score was 37-36 in favor of the West Virginia team. The Hilltoppers were leading at the half by a 7-point margin, but the brilliant work of Carmichael Horton cut this advantage in the last session and a pop shot by Carmichael in the final seconds gave the visitors a one-point lead and the game. Carmichael scored eight of the points made by his team while Horton counted for 11. Hall, Williams and Taylor, Bison sharp-shooters, made all except three of the points scored by Howard. BANISH PAIN St.Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN MORGAN RETAINS BALTIMORE TITLE MORGAN RETAINS BALTIMORE TITLE BALTIMORE.—In a game replete with thrills, a "Dick Merriwell" shot by Captain "Lanky" Jones while the whistle was blowing earned a 39-38 verdict for the 5-time collegiate champions of Morgan over the Alerts, white, of this city, in a battle for the city champions here Friday. It took a dazzling rally in the last five minutes of play to win for the Methodists. The game was hard fought throughout and marred by considerable roughness. The Bears drew first blood when Spencer hooked one under the basket. Then Stern, around whom the Schriber Bros. offense seemed to revolve, put his team in front by two baskets. The Methodists soon overcame the lead and battled on even terms with their opponents up to half time which was 17-17, no cricit—no debit. Captain Jones led the pack in total points, amassing a total of 17 while close behind was Richy of Alerts with 13 points. The college captain ably assisted by Casey Jones and Wheatley were the outstanding performers of the Bears, while "Lefty" Stern and Richy shone best for the invaders.

The Techmen are also leading the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference as the West-morelanders have not been defeated in a conference tilt while Dunbar has lost one and Douglass H, of Baltimore, has dropped two games in the association. Coach Perkins, of the Poets, has been drilling his men all week and a tough battle is scheduled when they meet Armstrong again. The pass work and shooting of the entire squad have been considerably improved as well as the general floor play. Ricks, 28; Dragons, 15 After seeing the second team play to a standstill during the first quarter the Ricks regulars took the floor in the second and piled up a 17 to 9 lead at the end of the half to defeat the Dragons by a final score of 23 to 15. MIDGETS WALK-AWAY The "Y" Midgets in the preliminary same brought glory to the "Y" by defeating the Aces, 17-4. Mangrum and Gray played forward for the Aces, Gray making the total score for his team.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 TECH TAKES LEAD IN CITY SERIES; DEFEATS DUNBAR Captain "Windy" Wallace who hung his football togs on the rack last November for the scanty garb of the basetball court took two of his former gridinon mates and two other men and made Dunbairb bite the dust of the hardwood court last Friday in Armstrong gymnasium before a crowd of fans that were packed to the rafters. Armstrong won the game hands down by a score of 30 to 19. When he is not scoring touchdowns, this sterling youngster is shooting field goals. He accounted for five in this game and six foul shots out of seven attempts. His total work for the evening netted 16 points thru his individual efforts. Football Stars In the Tech lineup with Wallace were Morris and Wormell, two grid stars who were selected on the Trihue All-High Eleven. This game gave Armstrong the lead in the city basketball series and also the lead in the South Atlantic High School Conference. Only once did the Poets threaten and that was in the early part of the first session. Wallace sank the first goal which gave his team a 2-0 advantage, but H. Parker, Dunbar pivot, looped a deuce spot which deadlocked the count at two all. Wallace came right back to untie this knot with a neat shot from the floor which put his team mates in the van by two points. From here on the Technmen began a steady march which carried them on to a 13 to 8 score at half time. Tech Passing Birthday The Perkinnen put up a gallant stand, but the brilliant pass work of Armstrong gunners carried all opposition. The outstanding performance of Bland was one of the high lights of the game. This youngster was in on every play. He was put out of the running in the last half for having more than his allotted number of personal, but his mishap was due more to over anxiousness on his part than deliberate fouls. The Dunbart quint entered the game minus the services of Captain "Rock" Mathews who was barred on eligibility ruling. Mathews was one of the mainstays on his team. Coach Westmoreland presented a five-man combination that worked as well on defense as offense. They had a stone wall line that Dunbar found almost impossible to penetrate. When the Poet sharp shooters managed to break thru the lines they found themselves covered by two guards who blocked most every attempt to score. The game was rough in spots, but Referee Burr didn't fail to call them when unsportsmanlike tactics were used. For Dunbar, Howard, H. Parker, Bland, Green and the superior passing and clever Gregory made a hard fight, but guarding of the Armstrong feeders were too much for the Perkin- TECH LEADS LOOP IN BASKETBALL Coach Westmoreland's men of Tech are sitting on top of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference this week. The Armstrong tossers gained the pinnacle by virtue of a victory over Dunbar last Friday. The Dunbar ball dribblers are holding down second position with three wins and one defeat, while Tech has not lost a game in the conference. Armstrong will descend into a deadlock with Dunbar next Monday if the Perkinmen cops next Monday's tilt. Here's how the schools in the association stand this week: Volley Ball Team Has Clever Double Play The "Y" staff volley ballers handed the business men a 5 to 4 trimming, Friday. The old double killing phrase in Washington baseball, "Peckinpaugh to Harris to Judge," is frequently heard on the "Y" volley ball court in the form of "Reid to Wilson to Mitchell." The passing of this combination ends in a deadly spike and a sure point for the professional men. Rev. Brooks was back in the lineup Friday, and played a steady game. A number of new faces are expected next week. D. L. Monroe, of the Prudential Bank, will be in uniform Tuesday. The class meets every Tuesday and Friday at 12:30 p.m. Says Howard President Refuses To Sanction Wilberforce Game Howard University has refused to meet Wilberforce on the gridiron this year, Wilberforce played here last fall and defeated Howard, 13 to 0. In a letter to the Tribune Sport Editor this week Augustus G. Parker, head of Wilberforce News Bureau, stated that President Jones, of the Ohio school, had personally written President Johnson, of Howard, seeking a date with Howard for Wilberforce's homecoming game, but the Howard prey had turned a deaf ear to all attempts to bring the two teams together this year. Mr. Parker's letter follows: "Coach Graves, 'Hank' Corrothers and the team all join in sending their thanks to you for the message of congratulation from you and the Tribune; the FORCE WINS FIVE OUT OF 8 GAMES WILBERFORCE, O.—The Wilberforce University basketball squad's invasion of the South resulted in winning five games of the eight played. O the seven played against college fives, only one was lost to Alabama State, one to Fisk and the other to Western Kentucky Industrial Institute, Paducah, Ky. The game lost to Alabama State was played in Montgomery, the following night in B'ningham, Wilberforce turned the tables by a 27-19 score. The Fisk game resulted in Wilberforce losing by a 27-29 score. In the Morris Brown game the score was 32-24 Wilberforce; the Tuskegee tilt, 20-16, Wilberforce; the Alabama State game played at Montgomery 21-23, Alabama State; the Talledaga game 36-24, Wilberforce; the Hopkinsville game 22-21, Wilberforce. "Mid-West champions of 1929." Wilberforce University's football stalwarts, were feted and toasted by one hundred admirers of the Green and Gold prowess, Friday in Arnett Hall dining room, from 6 to 10 p. m. The high spot of the evening came in the surprise presentation of an inscribed 15 inch loving cup to Coach Harry C. Graves from the team, "a symbol of the team's reverence of its mentor, love for a character builder and honor to a man." Telegrams and letters of congratulation were received from A. D. Williams of the Kansas City Call, Chester Washington, the Pittsburgh Courier, Garland Mackey, the Washington Tribune, Frank Young of the Chicago Defender, and Wm. Frame of the Xenia Gazette. J. C. Smith Throws Scare Into Hampton Dribblers HAMPTON INST., Va.—In a brilliant game for Johnson C. Smith and a rather poor one for Hampton, the Seasiders eked out a victory in the last ten minutes Saturday. One minute before the half time whistle, Johnson C. Smith was in the lead, and only a timely basket by Taylor brought Hampton through the half ahead. The Bills used a five man defense that, in its virtual impenetrability, kept the Hampton forwards trying from center. Horne, a stocky guard, allowed few attempts under the basket. Cole shot in the first minute tying Avant's shot, and Alexander gained a temporary lead. But J. C. S.'s fine passing technique speedily pulled the Bulls ahead. Armstrong, 42; Cardozo, 29 The Armstrong ball shooters had a hard time beating the Cardozo Phelps Mechanics by a 42 to 29 score, Wednesday in the former's gym. Gilles, brilliant Cardozo courtman, looped seven baskets from the court and one free toss totaling 15 points thru individual efforts. Coates, Cardozo forward, came thru with four goals and three fouls for a total of 11 points. The Poets used two teams in the fray with Dunlap leading the gunners with five doubledeckers. New Team Organized --- Headlining the "Y" Volley Ball card is the recently organized team of the Hutradena Club. The team is progressing by leaps and bounds. Monday night they had a real workout, volley ball and golf taking up the period. Dr. Easter showed well in practice and should be a tower of strength to the Hutradena attack. Sager looks good and has developed a tantalizing service. Samuel Powell and J. Woodfork are looking forward to the next practice. The men meet again Satu night at 9 o'clock. GENERAL CAB. CO.

REAL FIGHTERS SUFFER WHILE FREAKS PROSPER While freak fighters are prospering in this country the real men of the ring are scarcely able to earn chow money, says the United Press in a dispatch this week. Primo Carnera, the Italian giant, has earned (or been paid) approximately $60,000 for four fights against men of little or no comparative ability. Meanwhile, real fighters find it difficult to make money. Last Saturday Al Brown, the Panama fighter, who holds the world's bantam-weight championship, defended his title against Johnny Erickson in a New York arena for the sum of $800. Carnera gets that for a gym workout. Madison Square Garden is trying to arrange a bout between Carnera and George Godfrey, considered by many the greatest of modern big men. Garden officials believe the bout would establish a new record for indoor attractions, but even the prospect of a $100,000 purse is not expected to intrigue Carnera so long as he can earn $8,000 per minute for fighting setups.

Coach Gibson gave every man on his squad a hand in the killing while a packed gallery looked on at the one-sided romp. At the end of the first quarter the Washington ball tossers had not scored a single point while Douglass had chalked up nine. At the end of the half, the Clerks were trailing a 23 to 9 decision while at the close of the third stanza, the Business High lads were on the tail end of a 27 to 13 score. Harlan Scores 10 Points Harlan, Cardozo center, scored 10 of the 16 points made by his team. He shot three baskets from the Three fouls by Payne out of seven fouls from the free throw line. Three ols by Payne out of seven attempts, two by Cunnigham out of three tries and one by Evans out of two attempts ended the hopes of the Clerks as far as tallying was concerned. Douglas took the lead at the very beginning when Simms made a free toss and followed it by a field goal which gave the "Ducks" a 3-0 advantage. From here the Baltimore quint had everything their own way until the whistle ended hostilities. Coach Gibson sent in substitution after substitution until every man had had a chance to get into the game. Players Appeal The Cardozo basketteers at times showed signs of actually quitting the floors and at intervals acted like they had never seen a basketball. Cunningham, Cardozo, forward, made a brilliant fight and his work stood out, altho he made only two points. Most of the time the team appeared dazed while Douglass made a field day out of what was scheduled to be a basketball game.

A. B. The "Bo" with no less a personage than the inimitable Adelaide Hall, vivacious star of "Blackbirds," as his leading lady, has an aggregation of who represent the best on the Negro stage, including the famous Howardettes, recognized as the best drilled corps of chorus girls on the stage today. The show which is being groomed for Broadway, opened at the Pearl Theatre in Philadelphia last week after Miss Hall had made her triumphant entry into vaudeville. Putney Dandridge, Washington's favorite piano plunker, is also included in the cast. Bojangles refused to go abroad with "Blackbirds" when the show left Broadway because he could make more money as a single on the vaudeville stage. When Miss Hall left "Blackbirds" in Chicago after a tiff with Lew Leslie, the producer Robinson took her under his wing and is planning to take his show to Broadway after it is shaped up here. CO-EDS RESENT MALE PHYSICIANS (Continued from page 1) you kindly investigate this matter, as the university certainly can have a woman doctor to examine girl stuednts. University officials said that only $500 was budgeted for a school physician the first of the year, and a $2 fee by students brought this amount to about $3,000. This was not enough to employ two doctors and as soon as possible the school is to have a complete medical staff. The present physician had been selected after serious deliberation by the university, and if parents send their daughters to the school they ought to have enough confidence in the school to believe that only the best in medical and other instructors would be employed, it was pointed out. There are over 2,000 students attending the school and plans are made to safeguard the health of all. All girls frequent the swimming pool and if water is contaminated disease germs will be transmitted to others, it was said. The reporter was told that the present school physician, Dr. Allen, is a Howard graduate and has spent several years perfecting himself for his present position. His wife is a physical culture teacher at the school. Most of the girls have responded to the examinations held so far, said the official, with few protests, and the latter will have special attention, it was stated. A The comedy antics of Billy Higgins was one of the features that kept "Hot Chocolates" on Broadway for a summer's run. Higgins has been seen here off and on for several years. Some of the same bits he did at the Howard Theatre were used on Broadway. VICE PRES. CURTIS HEAR H. SINGERS VICE PRES. CURTIS HEAR H.

He was born in Birmingham, Ala., and has been on the stage for 25 years. As a boy he was carried to Europe with a stage attraction and later returned to Europe in a much bigger production, the World War. While his part in this performance was small, being only a sergeant, he nevertheless won his way into the hearts of his comrades with his gift of comedy. After his return he situated in New York and there met unusual success, helping to write "Seven Eleven" and "Watermelons," two of the first all-colored burlesque shows to play the Columbia Wheel. While he admits that the mechanical song and dance productions presented by the Vitaphone companies have put a crimp in the show business in the north, he feels that the work of the Negro actor in the south will long continue to flourish. "Show of Shows" Displays Dances of All Countries Demonstration of the beauties of the dances of all countries including many original creations of Larry Ceballos and Jack Haskell, are made in the natural color super-revue. "Show of Shows" comes to the Broadway Theatre next Friday. Scores upon scores of the most famous stars appear in the cast and there are supporting people numbering over half a thousand and Warner Bros. song-writing staff have prepared a dozen or more delightful songs. "Show of Shows" is acceded to be the most spectacular offering yet made by the screen industry. Dandridge On Broadway Playing the piano like lightning and whipping the keys so fast and tuneful, "Putney" Dandridge, Washington boy at the piano in the Palace in New York for Adelaide Hall, won himself new honors, "Dandridge" who formerly played for many years with Drake and Walker shows, starting as a young boy, became a mighty good actor all round, and had many dreams of reaching the top in his profession. That great day came Saturday in New York. He thanks Henry Drake and Mrs. Waker for having taught him all he knows and providing the one big break. Adelaide's Coming ```markdown ``` Clever ADELAIDE HALL, who took Broadway by storm as a member of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," who will be seen at the Howard Theatre next week, with Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, in their new show headed for Broadway. "The Bishop Murder Case" Exciting all-talking Mystery Those individuals who enjoyed the two popular mystery-film successes, "Unholy Night" and "The Thirteenth Chair," have a treat in store for them when "The Bishop Murder Case" comes to the Lincoln Theatre, with such prominent fea tured players as Basil Rathbone, Leila Hyams, Roland Young, Alec B. Francis, and a number of others, beginning February 22, for four days. The new all-talking murder drama, adapted by Lenore J. Coffee from the S. S. Van Dine best seller, and filmed under the joint direction of Nick Grinde and David Burton is reputed to be by far the best all-around mystery-film as yet to come out of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Culver City. Advance reports indicate that particular care was taken to give the new thriller a number of original twists and sequences which keep the audience on its toes while confusing it as to the identity of the real murderer. The plot concerns a series of murders done by a person who leaves a black chess bishop beside each victim and sends jeering notes in "Mother Goose" rhymes to his pursuers, notably, Philo Vance, the popular detective of the Dine tales. The solution of the mystery is completely cloaked until the last ten feet of the film. The settings utilize the rooms of the home of Professor Dillard, the remarkable library of Pardoe, the chess enthusiast; the Sturvesant Club of New York; Central Park, New York, and an archery range between the two homes. The mystery starts when Robin, familiarly known as "Cock Robin," is found on the archery range with an arrow in his heart. Directors Grinde and Burton selected their cast with special reference to the fact that stories must be very well played, if the twists of the plot are to be hidden. Basil Rathbone came from "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" to do Philo Vance. Alec B. Francis, the splendid old character actor, was cast as Dillard. The other key parts are those of Armesson, played by Roland Young, fresh from "Unholy Night"; Belle Dillard, Leila Hyams, of "Alias Jimmy Valentine" and "The Thirteenth Chair"; Clarence Geldert of "The Thirteenth Chair"; James Donlan of "The Front Page" and "Wise Girls"; Nellie Bly Baker, George Marion, Zelda Sears, Bodi Rosing, Charles Quatermaine and Delmar Daves. Charter Theatre Group ALBANY, N.Y., (A.N.P.)—The development of acting, writing of plays, the general improvement of the standards of stage productions, and the inculcation of a taste for sound drama among Negroes, are the purposes of the Harlem Experimental Theatre, Inc., of New York, a newly formed membership corporation which was this week granted a charter of incorporation by the secretary of state. The directors and incorporators are Regina Andrews, John Hunt, Dorothy R. Peterson, Gertrude Curtis, Robert J. Elzy, and Corrine Wright of New York City. GUILD PRODUCES NEW PLAY AS SUCCESSOR TO "PORGY" NEW YORK. (A.N.P.)—There is a rumor circulating in New York that the Theater Guild which was so successful with "Porgy" has another all-colored play under consideration, although the management is saying nothing with reference to the play. It is generally understood that "Mamba's Daughters" will be their next attempt to supplant "Porgy," which established an unequalled record for a long run all-colored drama.

HOLLYWOOD.—Stepin Fetchit, who was dismissed by the Columbie movie corporation last week because he refused to say some lines assigned to him proved to be not so dumb after all when it leaked out that he had been signed by the Hal Roach comedies for a larger sum than he was receiving previously. To some Fetchit's refusal to say a few apparently harmless words has assumed a deeper significance than first thought. The wiresacres are saying with knowing looks that Step merely took a clever means to rid himself of an unwanted contract in favor of a fatter one, all of which may or may not be true. At any rate Fetich should have a vogue in a few months far surpassing his present one because he will be the feature player in the Roach comedies, and such stellar placement will do him no harm whatsoever. National Benefit Scored for Use of President's Photo (Continued from page 1) self to be photographed in the midst of them. Much to the embarrassment of the president, the picture was placed upon a calendar by a Negro insurance company and used as an advertisement throughout the country. "In view of this violation of a courtesy extended, I think most people will agree with me in my opinion that the President had quite a sufficient reason for refusing The picture referred to by Mr. Howard was the one used on the calendars of the National Benefit Insurance Company in their 1929 advertising campaign, and while there were nine persons besides the president in the photograph, only two were bankers. They were Major P. R. Wright, of Philadelphia, and John R. Hawkins, of this city, Mr. S. W. Rutherford, who as general manager of the National Benefit, is responsible for large sums of money, is not a banker in the truest sense of the word. It is not thought, however, that any attempt was made to hoodwink President Coolidge by aggregate numbers, but the other members were merely carried along because of their prominence in other lines of endeavor. Mr. Hoover, who is famed for his diligence, has not only refused to be photographed with Negro delegations, but also with many white groups. He likewise refuses to see many groups of both races and long sneeches and handshaking is "taboo" at the White House. In previous administrations it was possible for any visitor to get a card from their state representative here and call and shake hands with the president for no greater excuse than the thrill they got out of it. Mr. Hoover has been too busy to meet such visitors, and this practice has been reduced to a minimum. **Posed with Porter** A picture was published by all the papers in the country showing Mr. Hoover as he left Washington on his trip to Florida last week. A Negro porter was standing on the platform beside him. Two theories have been advanced on this occurrence. One is that the porter happened to be there accidentally as the picture was snapped. The other is that Mr. Hoover was conscious of his presence and posed thus to prove that he had no objections to posing with Negroes as such. ALICE WHITE AND CHESTER MORRIS AT THE REPUBLIC The romance of a Broadway playgirl and a Broadway gunman aptly describes the all-talking-singing-dancing picture, "Playing Around," starring Alice White and Chester Morris, which begins a four-day engagement at the Republic Theatre on George Washington's birthday, February 22, and runs through Tuesday, February 25. Co-starred for the first time Alice White and Chester Morris form a splendid combination, Alice portraying her role of the Broadway wise-girl and Chester Morris in his usual character of an underworld gunman. Drama that will make you hold your breath prevails through the entire picture, with Chester Morris in as thrilling a role as he had in "Alibi." For the treat of the year see see and hear "Playing Around." "After the Fog," a 100 per cent all-talking drama with a 100 per cent cast including Mary Philbin, Edmund Burns, Russell Simpson and Carmelita Geraghty will be the feature attraction on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, February 26, 27 and 28. "After the Fog" is the story of a light-house keeper who lost his mind after his daughter married against his wishes and his wife died. Many are the dramatic moments in this story of the sea. DE PRIEST PROBES INDIAN BUREAU In a letter to Congressman Oscar DePriest replying to his request for data on employing Negroes in the Indian Service Commissioner Rhoads says that Indians are given the preference over Negroes, but out of 5,000 employees only 2,000 are Indians. The letter follows; 'My dear Mr. DePriest: "Under existing law, Indians must be given preference in appointment to all positions which they are qualified to fill, and of a field force with approximately 5,000 employees about 2,000 are Indians. While a good many of the Indians are employed in minor positions, the number assigned to more responsible positions is increasing each year. The Indians are required to pass the same examinations as white applicants, and we are glad to state they are rendering as a whole very creditable service. "As you doubtless know, the civil service rules make no discrimination as to politics, religion, or race, and colored men and women have the same opportunities to enter the examinations as those of any other race. A few of them have qualified through examination and have been certified by the Civil Service Commission, and their qualifications of course have been given the same consideration as other applicants and there are now some in the service.

The popular vaudeville favorite felt that "Song of Love" was a vehicle that catered to her particular talents. Belle Baker is great. She has the ability to sway an audience from laughter to tears and from tears to laughter. She has a personality that captivates her heart; she has the gift of characterization which transforms a song from mere lyrics and musical notes into a living dramatic thing; she possesses a versatility that enables her to do a pathetic or humorous number with equal facility and talent. In getting Miss Baker to make her talking picture debut, Columbia is to be congratulated. Appearing with Miss Baker, in hitman Theatre THEATRE HOUSE OF HITS 7 St. N.W.

"Song and Love," a backstage musical drama are Kali Graves, David Durand and Eunice Quedens, Erle C. Kenton directed. Helen Kane Switches Characters in Play Two Helen Kanes will be seen and heard in a forthcoming Paramount film production—one of them wholly different from the little girl who baby-talked her way into national fame as a Broadway, radio phonograph and talking picture entertainer. The other will be her true poly-oly-eyed self. In "Pointed Heels," the new production, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre for a three days run beginning on Wednesday next, Miss Kane and Richard "Skets" Gallingher play "Dot" and "Dash" Nixon, a song and dance team who aspire to Broadway prominence. After they have won fame they turn "high hat." It is during this period that Miss Kane goes operatic and sings a song in the best Boston manner. As a welcome change she soon becomes her old self and boop-doopa-doops all over the place in that familiar duet intenation of hers. William Powell plays the male lead in the production—a squaw-mannered producer of artistic stage revues...a potential menace which never quite materializes. For he falls in love with Fay Wray, show girl who is happily wed to Phillips Holmes, and when he fails to win hgr away from the handsome youth, he philosophically shrugs it off and doffs his hat to his enemy, True Love, as if to say, "You win." A. Edward Sutherland directed "Pointed Heels." He was the director of "Fast Company" and the "Saturday Night Kid." PAGE FIFTEEN gentman theatre THEATRE IN SCREEN TALKS DAILY 6 C.F. 96e S.W.

Murphy, after forcing him into an alley, and robbed him of his clothing and $37, Monday night. According to the story told to officers of the No. 8 precinct by Murphy, who gave his address as 1700 Fourth street, he was walking on S street, northwest, near Sixth when three men clad in overalls approached him and with threatening gestures forced him into an alley where they ordered him to remove his clothes. Leaving him only with his underwear the men left the alley, declaring they would kill him if he made an outcry before they were a safe distance away. Murphy in his one remaining garment ran all the way to the police station, where he reported the robbery. This type of theft has been prevelent throughout the west for many years, but this is the first report of it being practiced here.

THE FIRST BURIAL THE FIRST BURIAL Abel, son of Adam, the first man, who was killed by his brother Cain, was the first person in the world to be buried. Being the first human cadaver after the creation, Cain did not know of the body's subsequent corruption. The body of Abel therefore, was not interred by his brother that it might be buried from his sight. Inhumation was practiced from the earliest times. The dead were buried in the wilderness and in places uninhabited. Today modern facilities are available for burying that ancient Kings would have envied. We are equipped to render expert service in all tasks necessary to the proper interment of the body. Our prices are most reasonable. For complete funeral services of all kinds, call M. T. ROGERS, CO.

TWO TWO VICTIMS OF INTERMINGLING IN HARLEM Slaying Follows Exposure of Crime by New York Daily Mirror NEW YORK-An expose of the "Taxi dancehalls," where white hostesses are engaged to entertain colored patrons came to a sudden and unexpected termination when May Smith, white, 27-yr-old hostess of the Dreamland Dance Academy, and her lover, were shot to death in cold blood, Friday morning. The Daily Mirror, Hearst newspaper, blames most of the crimes in New York on what they call the "Taxi-dance halls". These are dance halls where girls are engaged to furnish partners for men coming alone. Few men attending these places bring their partners with them. Each girl is supposed to dance with any man who purchases tickets at a given price for a number of dances. The girls are paid a commission on the number of tickets they turn in. Blaming these places for most of the crimes, the Mirror cites a number of instances where colored members of bans employed, date the girls, and take them out. A glimpse of this was a recent murder case which involved one of the greatest colored comedians, the shooting taking place in a home owned by him. Whites Not Allowed Pointing an accusing finger at these halls, the Mirror states that this promiscuous racial intermingling is conducive to many girls. One hall, according to the Mirror, held out various offers, one of them being a regular night for certain groups; the West Indian group attending on one night, the Spanish element another night, and so on down the line for the whole week. May Smith, the murdered girl, is said to be one of the hostesses who forbid white patrons to enter her establishment, although all of the hostesses there are white girls. White men who forced their way in were refused dances by the girls and in many instances beaten up and thrown out.

Fuller Was Appointed During Roosevelt Administration Stephen W. Fuller, of 1720 U street, northwest, was congratulated in a letter this week by C. P. Hopkins, assistant director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce upon his completion of 25 years as a file clerk in the Bureau. The letter reads: "Dear Mr. Fuller: "Our records indicate that on this date you will have completed twenty-five years of association with the Bureau. "I want to congratulate you on your length of service, and to express for myself and the other officials of the Bureau our appreciation of the loyal, efficient and faithful manner in which you have performed your duties during this period of service with us. "With best wishes, ● Yours very truly. Mr. Fuller entered the service of the Government on February 8, 1905, under Secretary Victor Metcalfe, and has served with the Department ever since that time, steadily going forward in esteem and growing with the work. Mr. Fuller is one of several Negroes holding responsible places in the Department of Commerce, several of whom are nearing retirement. Mr. Fuller is credited with knowing every publication issued by his Bureau since its inception, and knowing just where to find available copies. He is a veritable encyclopedia of information on Bureau bulletins and other printed material, and this factor together with his affable yet dignified manner has made for him many friends among officials. ambushed by a group of white assassins shortly after they left the dance-hall and without warning the revolvers of the gangsters were emptied upon them.

J. A. Rogers Heard by Mu-So-Lit Club J. A. Rogers, who for the past two years has traveled and made extensive research in Europe, lectured at the Mu-So-Lit Club on Tuesday night on "Prominent Negroes in Europe." He discussed the past and present status of the colored man in Europe and Russia, emphasizing the attainments in political and military fields. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the National Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, pointed out that Mr. Rogers' study was an excellent background for historical study of Negro life in America, and that we could better understand the history of the Negro in America by first giving attention to the Negro in Europe.

This was proven when Edward Robinson, of 2211 Second street, N.W., was arraigned on charges of illegal possession after a raid this week. Police raided the premises when a search warrant was obtained for the place. No intoxicating beverages were found on the place, however, due to what police say, was a pre-announcement of their coming. The officers refused to be stumped, however, and continued their search to the neighboring property and found seven gallons of corn whiskey, which they claimed was placed in an adjoining garage by Robinson. Robinson denies all knowledge of the existence of the liquor and is attempting to prove through the aid of his attrony, Armond W. Scott, that the police violated the power of their warrant by carrying their search to the property not included in the warrant.

THE MAYFLOWER SOCIAL Although the weather was inclement the Mayflower Social Club met at the residence of Mrs. Laura Frazier on Saturday, February 15. Many of the members were absent because of personal illness or illness in the family, but the business was transacted and dues collected. Dr. Gilbert Cole was the honored guest of the evening. He was asked to give remarks, and in them he encouraged each officer and member to do all he could for the welfare of the club. He stressed co-operation as a means to success. He could relate many happy experiences because he had been a member for two years and his reason for not remaining a member was because of other added duties. Each member was filled with delight by these remarks. Mrs. Laura Frazier was a genuine hostess and invited her guests to a dining room to enjoy the delicacies of the season. At the wee small hours we left not regretting we had come out in the inclement weather. The next meeting is to have Mrs. Irene Warren as the hostess at her residence on Dennison street. THE A. C. E.

Action galore—thrills a plenty and peo- ple by hundreds. The game was held on the Armstong court and the Armstrong students were ge- nial hosts to the Dunbarites. Of all the games, this particular one produced more school spirit than you read about. The Dunbar tos- sers played a good game although they got excited several times ut the amazing pass-work of the oth- er team. Since the sack proves to be so heavy, maybe we better change the subject, but boy! what a game. sees The high school students who were among the radio audience last Monday evening were given a real test when Mr. Thomas E.

The sum of $75,- 000 has been laid aside and when the clearing of the site is com- pleted and the bidder chosen, work will start. ‘The stadium is to have a steel frame with wooden seats. The seats will be on the N and © street sides. A brick wall will face Twining School, while a wire fence will face the rear of Dun- bar.

Why arent they THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE — FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 - Among The Younger Social Circles By William Smallwood Editor's note: This special column of younger folks’ activities will become a regular feature in the Tribune. All social notes should be addresed to the Younger Folks’ Editor. Honest, folks, I've read so many social columns conducted by wo- men that I’m fairly dizzy so here’s where we fellows get a belated break! We will begin with Valen- tine night. Speaking of actually smart af- fairs, the bunch began the night with’ a passing peep into the Vancho's at the Masonic Temple. Believe me, nearly everybody from the vieinity of First and O was there! But odd enough, the first person we saw was Francis Brown and whenever we see him we are bound to see “Dick” Sewell, Scott Davidson, “Toots” San- ders and other noticeable guys. To say nothnig of big jack Harlan with his little brother Ralph, Representing the aces of basket- ball stars we saw Theodore “Pickles” Bland and even Eugene Minns! Also haying a jumping good time we noticed Miss Pochon- tas Harmon and big Joe Carter! Can ya imagine!? There was Miss Hilda Roy. and ‘Thelma Falwell to say nothhing of Elsie Robinson, ‘Clara Wilson, Lillian, Butler and ‘Anita Galo. "We noticed Tommy Gardines, Hooks Davis, Overton ‘Murray, John Francis ‘and Leon ‘Osley giving the ladies a treat. There was Arthur, Edelin patting around and the mighty “Tom” Wil- Jiams. What we tried to see was “who he kept dancing around the floor but we thought of the Frogs “up to the Casino so we waltzed up there But boy!! what a jam. We ‘managed to squeeze in and after ‘recovering our poise which we lost somewhere in the scuflle, we gave ‘the place the once-over.' Ah boy! ‘that music! The orchestra was ‘about the best we've heard around here for quite a long time. Ask anybody who was there—they’ll tell you. The first person we recognized was the much-discussed mightier “Scribby” Adams. Scrib- by, if you remember, was the foot- ‘bail idol up on the hill during that particular season and his prowess won him much admiration. He shows as much suppleness when he’s out on the dance floor, as well. We recognized several Howard U. prof’s so we left—but not because ‘we saw them but because their “presence reminded us of the Gypsy Carnival up to Miner Normal. "This was truly a smart event. Nearly everyone was _masked— but us, but we didn’t mind after 'we mingled with the crowd. The gym was beautifully decorated with streamers and multi-colored lights. ‘The pageant was led by Miss Gladys Gibson costumed as Queen Meg. Honestly, I couldn't “start to name the folks who were ‘there so I'll blame it on their be- ing masked and tell you about the Saps. yo, ot can imagine, everyone you know was there. The Junior ‘Crystal Ball Room was the site— an’ how! Practically all of ex- ‘clusive Washington was there. We recognized Miss Jean Murray, be- comingly attired in a beautiful old rose, or some like named color, ‘dress that made her very attrac- tive and Miss Claire Du Bois in a black velvet gown trimmed with rhinestones accompanied by Mr. Carlton Thomas of New York City. ‘There was Miss Delilah Williams and her sister Medeil who was ac- compained by Mr. Armstead Davis, who I must say knocked them cold with his informal attire. The mu- sic was the kind you read about in the magazines. About the time we had made ourselves comfortable the thought of Charles McDaniel’s party down in the Bamboo Inn struck us like a bolt of lightning. Well, to make a long story short the next half hour found us in the Inn. MeDaniels was entertaining his cousin, Miss Jaunita Camp, of Seattle who is on her way to Pana- ma to join her brother. His group consisted of the Messrs. James Fields, Oscar Fells, Harry Thomas John ’ Thomas, Austin Thomas, Herbert Vance, Charles Humph- rey and us. The ladies were the Misses Camp, Doris Whiteman, Elizabeth Marsh, Helen Cabetts, Vera Syphax, ‘Louise Ridgely, Mayme Curtiss and Gloria York: We dined then danced—some more. Of course, being the Bamboo Inn and it being Valentine night too, we saw many more acquaintances. There was Scotty Spellman, Mark- | ham Shields with Pegey Lewis and , Betty, Barelave, Then | the inevitable happened. I got sleepy.

See you in the society page—— THE TRIBUNE DOES NOT WRITE SOCIAL ARTICLES LIKE THIS Last week, we learn from Chattanooga News, Mr. Quillen wrote a report of a local wedding as he had wanted to write one all of his long newsparer life, After stating the names of the bridal couple, their parents, the clergyman and noting the time and place, the account ran’ as follows: “The groom is a papular young bim who hasn't done a Lick of work since he got shipped in the middle of his junior year at college. He manages to dress well and keep a supply of spending money because his dad is a softhearted old fool who takes up his bad checks instead of letting him go to jail where he belongs. . “The bride is a skinny, fast little idiot, who has been kissed and handled by every boy’ in town since she was 12 years old. She paints like a Sioux Indian, sucks cigarettes in secret and drinks corn liquor when she is out joy riding in her dad’s car at night. She doesn't know how to cook or keep house, “The house was newly plastered for the wedding and the exterior painted, thus appropriately carrying out the decorative scheme, for the groom was newly plastered and the bride newly “The groom wore a rented dinner suit over athletic under- wear of imitation silk. His pants were held up by pale green suspenders. His No. 8 patent leather shoes matched his state in tightness and harmonized nicely with the axlegrease of his hair. In addition to his jag he carried a pocket knife, a bunch of keys, a dun for the ring and his usual lool: of imbecility. “The young people will make their home with the bride’s parents—which means they will sponge on the old man until he dies and then she will take in washing.” Editor's note: The Tribune society editor does not write a story like the above, but sho might be justified in doing s0 ax some of the accounts that reach herithrough the mails are hard to decipher, To avoid any such arti¢le as that appearing above We humbly request that all social items be either typewritten or written legibly and on one 6 of the paper only, ‘This would insure accuracy. satisfying yow-and helping us. _ When Seconds Mean LIFE or DEATH You want the utmost accuracy in the shortest time possible.

One can see gangs of children on the streets here during school hours. You would not know that the District had a compulsory educational Jaw by the number of school-age children roving the streets of Wash- ington. On January 24, of this year there were 25,906 colored children attending the public schools of the District. On February the 7, just two weeks later there were 24,883 chil- dren in our schools. Where were the other 1,023 on February 7th? Roving the streets, at home, at play? The records show they were not in school. We have an attendance department in our public schools, whose duty it is to look up these truants and see that they attend school or Know the reason why. ‘There is some complaint being registered in the Civie Associa tions regarding the number of children roving the streets during school hours and the apparent derelection of service by the attendance officers. A compulsory attendance school law can only be effective when properly enforced. eee sees The Colored Merchants Association organized last spring in Mont- gomery, Alabama, has extended its operations in five Southern cities and to New York, where they now have 24 stores in one association. It plans to enter 10 or more cities this year. There are 118 stores in Bie association with Winston-Salem, N.C., having the largest num- ery BL These colored merchants found they could meet chain store com- petition only with chain store methods and said we must “cooperate or close up.” The colored drug stores of Washington could learn a val- uable lesson from their cousins in the Colored Merchants Association. We are frankly facing an economic future which must be given our immediate attention. Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, has worked out a table in which he proves that Negroes alone spend $1,600,000,000 each year for groceries and if we had the necessary stores to handle this trade, we should have 470, 787 persons employed at a salary of more than $500,000.00 per year. When we consider our shoes, gents’ furnishings, women’s clothing, dry goods, furniture, millinery and drugs, we could employ at least 175,700 more persons whose salaries would run to about $200,000,000. Bring the question to Washington and apply it to our 127,600 Ne- groes and we can get a concrete example of what we are letting pass through our hands without getting any returns whatever from it. Holsey says we should have a grocery store for every 1,000 inhab- itants. That would give Washington 128 colored grocery stores, (How many can you count?) and employment for at least 500 persons. For each 3,346 Negroes here, we should have a shoe store. That would give us 36 shoe stores, and we do not have the first one. These stores would employ at least 125 persons, For every 2,388 Negroes, we should have a gents’ furnishings store or 50 stores to supply men's wear with about the same number catering to women. We should have 30 furniture stores, 18 jewelry stores, 25 hardware stores; a daily newspaper, 6 banks, 7 book stores and 200 or more manufacturies, laundries, ice cream plants, bottling works and what not. Do you realize that we must do something to meet this situation? ‘The most intelligent set of Negroes certainly does not mean the most progressive set in this country. Of what service is our college training ‘when it does not produce results? TWO PROBLEMS OF THE NEGRO By MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS xdy has troubles of his own.

The Neg: ‘0 GET IN WHERE AS A CITIZEN AND . oe eee, ee rene Everybody has troubles of his own. The Negro race has problems of its own and the white race has a Negro problem. There is a great deal of difference between the Negro problem and the Negro’s problem. The Negro problem is white America's greatest social and politi- cal problem. The white man has to solve the Negro problem and: the Negro has to solve the Negto's problem. The Negro problem whicl the white man has to solve is “HOW CAN WE WHITES FIND A WAY 10 KEEP THE NEGRO OUT?” Verily, this problem is the white man's “mare” by night and his hobby by'day._ The Negro's problem is “HOW TO GET IN WHERE AS A CITIZEN AND AS A MAN HE RIGHTFULLY BELONGS?” ! White America wished its problem on itself away back in 1619 and it was being worked pretty well until 1865. Since that time white America has been having a time of it trying to solve the unsolvable and work the unworkable. From 1619 to 1865 the Negro was a thing and he was a thing apart from the constituted government. Since 1865 the Negro has been figet- ing to become a part of the thing which we call a democracy. On the other hand, for nearly 70 years, white America has been racking its brains trying to find a way to make the Negro a part of the thing and at the same time apart from it. White America wants the Negro near enough to be a part of the democracy in war and in close elections and then become, automatically, a thing apart as soon as either of these struggles is over, Since the Negro cannot be kept out, the problem is how to find his place for him and put him in it and make him stay there. That's the Negro problem, so far as the majority of white America is concern- ed. The Negro juct won't stay put. That is the thing that gives trow- ble. He keeps on moving somewhere or somehow and it keeps white America moving out or moving up. Negroes run white people out of house and home; they run them out of communities; out of churches; out of schools. The white people are really finding it difficult to stop the Negro from rumning after what the Negro wants. Negroes are paying dearly for what they want, but they are runnnig right along. — About ten thousand of them have actually caught up to the white ace in color (white Negroes) and have either disappeared into the hite race or they make excursions into it when they desire. You -uow the only thing it takes to get into the white race is color, and in that particular the whitie race has really helped the Negro qualify for toance. After all, the white race helps the Negro in more ways than ». These ten thousand white Negroes never could have gotten & +e to mzke these excursicns into the white race had it not been vo the tremendous help which the white race gave them, but many of hem have gone to stay and that much of the problem is solved forever un'ess nature stages a comeback here and there. Some white Negroes have answered the call of their weak blood. Here’s hoping that the Negro blood in them will not retrace its steps and throw a shadow over the white race. Someone has asked how does the Negro feel about this gradual exodus? Feel? They feet like saying well, there is something gone, but nothing missing. Of course there are thousands of white Negroes who “do not choose to” Jeave their mother race. That one drop of Negro blood is too strong- It holds them. They are fast black. They do not run. Before long we will talk abou! the Negro’s problem, or better the Negro’: problems, because we really have some problems inside of this race cf ovrs.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 Talented Negroes Doing Least To the Editor: Dear Sir: ‘After many years of traveling throughout the United State and meeting most of the leading and wealthy Negroes in every com- munity, large and small, I can count upon the fingers of one hand those individuals who »ave denied that they were Race men loyal to their group, anxious and eager for the Negro to attain the status of a really free man. Practically every Negro in this country when cornered and questioned, swears by all of the gods that he would practically lay down his life to see the Darker Brethren in possession of full citizenship rights and re~ ceiving full protection of the law. Here and there I have encounter- ed an individual who was abso- Tutely indiffereent to the fate of ‘his people but such are audibly ‘few and far between. If some philanthropist or re- search foundation would contri- bute sufficient money to the study, ‘Lam very confident that a ques- tionnaire on this matter of full social equality sent broadcast, to all Negro business and profession- al men and women in the United States would be returned by at least 99 per cent answered in the affirmative. From the results of such a ques- tionnaire, the naive investigator would naturally assume that those who had answered affirmatively were at least contributing a ‘little hard cash to bring about the con- ditions which they claim to desire. A little knowledge about the four- flushing capacity of the Talented Tenth of Aframerica would show just the opposite to be true. The hard and bitter and ironi- cal fact is that the great bulk of the Negro so-called upper class gives nothing whatever to this cause, not even lip service! The only ‘organization in the United States that is carrying on ‘this fight for Negroes, the National Association for the Advancement ‘of Colored People, has to spend most of its time and energy, vain- ly persuading the articulate and supposedly educated class of Ne- groes to give three or four dol- lars to help the work along. And it_gets less than $100,000 a year after constant begging, a large fraction of which comes from white people! ‘What irony! It frequently makes an old cynic like myself burst out in laughter. It is excellent ma- terial for the satirist, the cosmic humorist! I have to guffaw when T hear most Negroes wax wroth because some white man has— what they call—tibeled the race. They do not appreciate the fact that the charge of being rapists and devoid of morals, is nothing compared to the bart fact that they are enslaved, persecuted, exploited, and discriminated against and yet the upper tenth of most educated, talented, wealthy and successful ones give less than a dollar_per person a year to help in the fight to end the condition. The educat- ed Negroes resent being called a slave race, docile and bereft of pride and’ manliness, but that comes pretty near being the truth. ‘What I would like to see the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People do is to publish a list of all of the Negroes in the United States who are ‘prominent in fraternal, political, business and professional fields, and indicate after each name the amount that individual has given, if anything, toward the fight it is carrying on for full manhood rights and privileges for the Ne- gro. Then we would have a record by which we could check up the extent of these people's love for their race and belief in the free- dom and liberty for the black Americans. Sincerely yours, — _ A Tribute To A Woman of Washington NANNIE HELEN BURROUGHS (Reprinted from the Chicago Whip) “They shall not hanger nor, thirst, neither sball the sun smite them, even by rivers of water shall He lead them.” I have inserted that verse_be- fore my sketch of Miss Bur- roughs, because as an eternal promise of the Almighty, it sug- gests the kind of material upon which Miss Burroughs has based all of her efforts; an unshaken faith in the promise of her Maker.

Dear “Christian Reader:” __ Occasionally, but rarely, a person who is over-religious says some- thing of consequence and you, I regret to say, prove no exception. Your letter of recent date substantiates my argument. Why in the world, may I ask, should I write something mean about the minis- ters of Washington who refuse to preach funerals on Sunday when I think they are perfectly within their rights? I also fail to concede your point that the pastor is the servant of the people. While I am thoroughly convinced that many ministers are a bunch of sealawags, yet somehow I feel that the most of them will go to heaven when they die, just as a reward for outwitting a large number of scalawags in the pews. Very few churches that I know of have been broken up because the pastor refused to perform his ministerial duties. When it comes to making house to house calls, the average minister is entirely too conscientious to duty, especially when the good brother of the family is away. Friction generally comes over the division of the money and the outcome is determined largely by which is the better politician, the minister or the deacons who keep the books. ‘About Sunday funerals, I still maintain that ministers should not only refuse to preach funerals in churches on Sunday, but that public funerals should be discouraged and condemned altogether. Tf an individual has led such a life that his chances of salvation ‘are pretty slim, I fail to see where a hullabaloo kicked up by his vela- tives around an altar are going to change matters much. Personally, I feel the demise of a loved one, is too sacred a proposition for trifling, I don’t care to have a churchful of rubbernecks cramed in the seats ‘on such an occasion for myself. WasHington is strangely infested with a tribe of hearse chasers and professional crepe hangers, who get a kick out of the misfortunes of others. They hurry to every funeral sermon and listen attentively so they can speculate as to which one of the remaining relatives the minister was cracking about when he made certain allusions. This is always good material to start a feud that may last through several generations. More people attend funerals in Washington out of curios- ity than out of sympathy. Of course, sticklers for Sunday funerals may advance the theory that Sunday being what it is, heaven is naturally more open to min- isterial pleading than on any other day. Monday, for instance, the immortal powers are busy stirring up enough wind to dry the family wash, Tuesday and succeeding days the heavenly attention is called to other things of earth, but on Sunday all there is to be done is to sit down and listen, and the fellow whose eternal future is questionable stands a better break than he would on a day when St. Peter could only listen to the minister in snatches. T rather like the idea of the people from the West Indies, espec- ially Jamaica. Instead of rip-roaring funerals where everybody cries and. grows red eyed, they hold wake. At a wake you are supposed to enjoy yourself and at the least there is no need for hypocrisy as we practice it here. ‘The Irish also have this practice. ‘In Jamaicia, 1 am told, when anybody passes out, all the neighbors, friends and enemies gather around a large festive board and tell jokes ‘and sing songs. Death at a wake is time for rejoicnig. A good joke teller is far more popular at a time of sadness than a preacher with his soft words and long face. Anytime a person gets sick, habitual wake attenders rake out their joke books and refresh their memories ‘30 they will be all set in case of an emergency. I am told that it even goes so far as the following little story: A man was near death. | He falled his wife to his bedside and made ‘one last request. “Mary,” he faid to his loving wife, as he peered through the door and saw a table heaped with food, “Will you please give me just a small piece of that ham before I die?” She looked at him pitifully and replied “I'd love to, but I'm saving that for the wake.” T am told of an actual incident where a father was holding a wake for his deceased daughter and some of the visitors purposely re- fused to sit where he had placed them during the singing. He seized f club and ran them out of the house and returned to the wake. A fight ‘or two means nothing to them. Of course, we Americans save our fighting until after the will is read, but it is equal to the same thing. ee nee dear “Christian Reader,” you can understand why I think that Sunday funerals, or any other kind in which a public demonstration is minde, is the height of heathenism. I know of no one at present that eeeSith half the city wasting half a day over, and I know that when ost people crowd into a church at a funeral it is just an excuse to take the day off. 3 i Sorry { cannot agree, but write gy. ——— casein Lewnaet Sees pee abba singularness of her personality; singular, in that it defied even the advice of her closest friends to put her school in the south, instead of the nation’s capital. But Nannio Burroughs. was right, as most these same friends will tell you now, for the one beautiful ro- mantic spark left in the nation’s capital,—romantic in that it repre- sents the upward climb of one who has kept the faith, one whose personality alone, as a basis, has Treated something tangible, and dedicated it to the progress of a race—is the story of Nannie Bur- roughs and her school. ‘Trusting Soul As an example of her tenacious personality, we quote her answer to Prof. Kelly Miller, at Louis- ville, quite sometime ago, after he had suggested that she plant her institution in some place else, as Washington was already full of schools. Prof. Miller quotes her as answering “even if the schools were as thick as the tiles on the houses, I am going to plant my school in the midst thereof, and that right early.” ‘To my mind, no other statement ever made by this truly outstand- ing oe. sums up the trend of her greatness, the almost fathomless depths of her trusting soul, as this.

Indeed that was greatness of per- sonality. It is not our intention to survey the resources and assets of the training school that Miss Burroughs had founded; for we are writing of personalities, but if ‘it were, it would indeed be an ultra romantic story from beginning to ending—of how one great woman dreamed of how she could help other women; how, after much battling. on a six-acre plot of land, mostly hill, and in an old eight- room house, she began to make her dream come true; and lastly, how in less than twenty years that dream has come to represent a property value of more than one thousand dollars, and an immea- surable amount of work done in bringing the women of a rising race “unto her.” Takes No Credit Another truly great characteris- tic of this “maker of things” is that she takes unto herself little or no credit for the great work she has done. In a recent letter to me, in answer to my missive, an- nouncing her selection, she wrote: “I appreciste your kind ¢-nv'dera tion, but my good friend, T am not among the immortals, T am just heginning to get our’ work where it command the seve of the pergle who heliev. ia those who help themselves.” ‘And s0 we leave her, this lavia- than of personality, on the banks of the romantic Potomac, still striving to make tangible her dreams, se onward to- ward her goal; her goal of un- selfish purpose, to contribute her bit to make an assured fact of the assertion, “WE ARE RISING.” Hallelujah A Travesty On Colored Minister (By G. L. M.D I received another barrage of letters on the much discussed pic- ture “Hallelujah” last week—somc praising the production and others taking the opposite view. For the life of me I fail to see where this sordid picture can be called an epoch in picture taking as far as the Negro is concerned. Withcut more ado I herewith present an editorial from the Chi- cago Whip on the picture. It speaks for itself. “By now most of us have seen the recent screen offering featur- ing colored actors. ‘Hallelujah’ they called it and by that name it. is known and advertised. Both white and colored critics have been unstinted in their praise of this picture, and most liberal has been the commendation upon the genius of its director, King Vidor. The picture has been stamped and ap- ‘proved as among the finest yet to be produced in this country, and only here and there has been any marked disapproval or disdain for the production. In our opinion it is a weird, bizarre theme, splen- didly acted, excellently directed and quite entertaining to picture- goors who are thirsting for some- thing new and refreshing. As a moving picture it registers, but ‘Hallelujah’ is more than a moving picture, it is an ingenious, subtle vehicle of race prejudice, it is 2 Ciabolic insinuation upon’ the re- ligious integrity of the Baptist church, it is a contemptible por- trayal ‘of the weaknesses and mis- fortunes of a lowly people, it hurls a challenge at the chureh, ridicules and burlesques the ministry and holds up colored people of our country to disgust, jeers and dis- respect. “Some say that the picture is true to life. It is not; it is far-fetched, strained and highly imaginative. Others say that it gives the color- ed peoyle a chance to show their ability ‘and talent on the screen. Heretofore they have been permit- ted to play the parts of the buffon, the villain and the fool and in ‘Iial- lelujah’ there is no new derarture. ‘There are many unpleasani, things it, human life that could be thrown on the screen, but before this pic- ture we have not witnessed any of these woven around the peculiar religious faiths and failings of other American people. We do not believe that any other American groups would sit by supinely and permit their religious faiths to be burlesqued as is done in the early creation of King Vidor. “Would the Catholic chureh per- mit a priest to be shown on the sereen conducting himself as ‘Brother Zekie? does? Would the Jewish people permit themselves to be underwritten in a screen pro- duction depicting a Rabbi in sen- susons lustful, immroal roles? ‘The book ‘Elmer Gantry’ brought down a storm of protest from white pro- testants and we do not believe King Vidor could be lured by gold and diamonds to apply his genius in such a production.

THE LITERARY ALCOVE 4 COLUMN OF COMMENT AND DISCUSSION ON THINGS LITERARY. ——— By Alpheus Butler ——— Peculiar interest attached to two articles appearing in current periodicals. The first is by John T. Gillard in the February 12 issue of “The Commenweal.” The sec- ond is by John Chamberlain in the Sabroser jeeue of “The Reakmon.” Mr. Gillard’s article deals with the development of Catholic schools for colored students, and Mr. Chamberlain offers a valuable and interesting interpretation of the “long and interesting” develop- ment of the Negro as writer in the United States. Mr. Gillard’s findings are of definite value, Among other things he says: “One of, the disconcerting things about literature on the Negro is the consistent inaccuracy of statis- tics on the work of the Catholic church in behalf of the Negro... It would be obviously unfair to make a strict comparison between Catholic colored high school achievement and that of secular and sectarian educational agencies. Given the millions of dollars which are pouring into public and de- nominational schools of the South, The Catholic high school undoubt- edly would be a success. Hamper- ed as it is by the necessity of com- peting with these millions of dol- lars its progress, by comparison, must seem meagre and slow.” Mr. Gillard reaches the conclu- sion that Catholic efforts in the interest of Negro education at the presen ttime are pitably weak and somewhat ineffective. This seems to me to be a field which should open for the colored Catholic. Cer- tainly there are not nearly enough colored priests. Both religious and secular educational workers are needed in the Catholic church to devote themselves increasingly to the welfare and progress of brown folk. Mr. Chamberlain, who is a mem- ber of the staff of the New York Times Book Review, treats briefly but effectively the history of Ne- gro literature in America. He states, near the beginning of his article, that the Negro novel in America begins with the work of Charles Chesnutt. Mr. Chamber- lain is quite impressed with Mr, Chesnutt’s work, taking all factors into consjderation. He does not forget that Chesnutt worked at a time when novelists were using, to a large degree, the expedients of coincidence and melodrama to achieve popularity. But, says Chamberlin, “The spectacle of a Negro of the time (the eighties and. nineties) working with any models at all and producing fic- tion with many good points is suf- ficient to compel applause.” Mr. Chamberlin’s _ picture is largely impressionistic. Yet, in the necessarily limited space of his essay, he manages to mention ‘practically every important name ‘in the past and present of our literary history. One or two of ‘his comments might be quoted here: "The Negro himself has yet to write a plantation story as beeuti- ful as Mrs. Peterkin’s ‘Black April,’ in which the life on a plan- tation in the sea-island country among the Gullah’s is richly spread before us.” “The Negro poet, in his search ‘for his own mythology, his own resting. point in tradition, takes as many differing pahts in Ameri- |ca_as his white brother.” Jean Toomer, according to Mr. Chamberlain, is the most lovely Iyrist of all'the Negro poets. He says: “Because of the soft beau- ty of ‘Georgia Dusk’ we may per- haps be forgiven our impatience at his efforts at characterization in his later prose fiction.” Many of us in the United States are interested in British opinion turpitude of the average minister of the gospel. “Our people are so trusting, so implicitly confident, so unsuspect- ing and simple-minded that it is many times necessary to grab them by the shoulders and shake them into a realization that they are deing insulted, exploited and held up to general ridicule. We look for the good in everything and try to minimize the evil. In the scheme of existence in America our people must view the affairs of life as they actually are. They must seek the truth about these things. There is no survival value in living in the paradise of fools. American colored people may exult over the pantomine of Nina Me- Kinney, they may go into ecstacies over the sweet voice and histrionic sleverness of Danie! Haynes but they must not close their eres to the cold, caleclating motives of Vidor who was directing this pic- ture for the box office and not ‘or the benefit of the colored star. ‘ite the pas cob ‘t least to > ci ai pro- test against it.

Judging from what he is quoted as saying, we are pretty well sat~ isfied that he is now serving his last term as United States Sena- tor. It is probably all right for him to attack the Negroes and preach white supremacy, Such old stuff might get him a few votes amomgst the illiterate, but there is such a thing as taking in “too much” in his attacks. We understand that his campaign material includes not only Negroes, the Catholic Church, Al Smith and Jimmie Walker, but Governor Roosevelt and all the people of New York State. Covering ail that territory, we seriously doubt. whether he can get away with it. Then too, the people of Massachu- setts haven't forgot the effort of this same Tom Heflin to have the Senate rebuke that state for allow- ing a few pop bottles being thrown at his head, when he was in that state. making a Ku-Klux Klan speech. Bringing this to mind it looks as though the Bay State will be added to the territory to be taken in by Hefilin in his cam~ paign for reelection. All we have to say at this stage of the game is go on “Tom” the more territory you take in, the big- ger the load you will have to car- ryjand of course the bigger the load, the less the chances ‘of your successful race.

Girls and boys of the Negro race have you not profited by this week? Has not someone addressed you on the achievements of your race? Have you not seen a play to bring out this fact? Have you not taken enough interest in your race to look up something yourself? I am sure every Negro boy or girl can answer yes to one of the above questions. Boys and girls of the Negro race, you have nothing of which to be ashamed. Hold high your head and be proud you are a Negro, because God made you one and because of the great things the Negro has done. Negro children, you have men and women who have done great things the world acknowledges. The Negro is a soldier, a sculptor, an author, an educator and a musician. Considering the short time in which we have had to progress, we have achieved more than any other race. Verna Dozier, (12) 318 Florida Ave., N.W. GOD'S DARK God can see and love me Without a bit of light. He gives me peace and resting; He brings the gentle night. God made the dark so daytime Could close its tired eyes And sleep awhile in peace Beneath the starry skies. The daytime, just like children; Needs rest from work and play, So it can give us children Another happy day. God made the dark for children And birds in their nest, All in the dark he watches And guards us while we rest. Ida Mae Howard 2627 Sherman N., N. W.

Rachel Savoy 555 24th St. N. E. --- A O HOW TO DRAW OUR RACE TOGETHER By Caroline Howell The Negro race as a whole is thought of in some instances, as no better than some animals. Everyone of our race is thought of by other races by what they see a few doing. If they see a few of our Negro people going along the street acting the worst they can, they are going to say right off hand that we are still acting as if we are half uncivilized and that we don't know how to act, never will, and we deserve nothing. One very important way to draw our race together is by encouragement. Our race must have encouragement and we can give our selves the proper encouragement. When the Negro race have or own an amusement park or place they can or must encourage our people to come there. Here is one thing our race must forget; instead of trying to classify ourselves into classes, try and become more brotherly and act more like one large family. Don't try to—as some people use the expression, don't try to be stuck up, because your father is president of some thing and my father is only an ash man or janitor of an apartment; because my father's money is gotten just as honest as your father gets his. Then in the sight of God we are all of the same class. Just to express myself in plain words, suppose I were to come to your amusement park and I have a pretty large sum of honestly made money. Because my parents are not as highly educated as yours or haven't as much money as yours, are you going to treat me as if I were not wanted? If the entire Negro race had the brotherly feeling towards each other our race would be an outstanding race. Another way our race can be drawn together is by "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you." To explain this circumstance I am going to give you a short illustration to show. As I said before, the Negro race needs to have that brotherly feeling towards each other and if you act towards me as if I were not good enough for you, there is going to be a time coming when you are going to need me. For an example, let there be a race riot here in this country, there are not going to be enough of you people who call yourselves first class to protect yourselves, you are going to need the classes that you had at one time looked upon as not good enough for you. But suppose then they won't come to your aid or in other words, they won't want to stick with you. But a long time ago when there was a race riot here there were no classes, class was forgotten. So in other words we must "Do unto others as we would have them do unto us." One way to get our race together so that we may talk about these things is by talking Negro advancement at all gatherings as churches, lodges, and at club meetings. CRUDE COMEDY He Remembered The absent-minded professor suddenly remembered. He looked at his watch. It was two o'clock. "Gosh," he said snapping his fingers, "I just remembered that I have a class at two o'clock to deliver a lecture to. It's two now, so I'd better hurry." So he put on his hat and walked out of the lecture hall. Improvement Abe—"How does your new cigarette. 焊 work?" Babe. "Fine, I can light it with one match now." Now You Tell One Two hunters were out in the woods. They had separated for some time, when suddenly one heard the other give a scream. He immediately started running with all his might, and finally came up on his comrade who had fallen to the ground. A large furry animal was gnawing the fallen hunter's leg. "Hello," said the "First; What's eating you?" Lawrence Fells. Dunbar High School. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 The Honorable Sassafrass Sudds, Esquire OH BOY!

IF YOU WANT Money, Love, Easy Life SUCCESS M SCOTT'S FAMOUS OVER Scott & Bowne, Woodstock, N.J. A 1 WOMAN BEHEADED BY SAILING SAW BLADE RICHMOND, Va.-Mrs. Winnie Jones was beheaded here Thursday, when a fly-wheel of a saw flew through space for two blocks, cut through the roof of a house and slashed Mrs. Jones' head off. James Brice was sawing wood in a vacant lot two blocks away when a balance wheel, an iron disc half an inch thick, snapped as the saw was running at high speed. One part feel on the ground while the revolving wheel sailed high in the air, clearing a two-story building, and plunged through the roof of Mrs. Jones' house. The whirling steel blade continued on through the floor and buried itself deep in the ground. Simps' Annual Reception Interesting Social Event The Symposium Whist Club, one of Washington's foremost social organizations, was host to their many friends Friday, February 7, 1930 at the Lincoln Colonade.

(ANP) Tennessee joined the ranks of those southern states conducting a battle against illiteracy here last week, when several counties launched a drive against this menace to the advancement of the state. Night schools for adults of both races have been opened in various sections and reports have it that the grown-ups are responding to the invitation to attend in a very encouraging and gratifying manner. Such a drive was launched in South Carolina several weeks ago and the results have been unusual, according to the reports of those conducting the campaign. Many Visitors at History Week Banquet More than 300 persons attended the banquet Monday at six o'clock in honor of our Congressman, S. L. Mc Laurin acted as toastmaster. Washington's elite were there with many out of town visitors. The significance of the occasion was given by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. Judge James A. Cobb spoke on "Why the Negro should aspire to higher office." Attorney Armond Scott presented the visitors and Mrs. Grace Evans, of Terra Haute, Ind., responded on behalf of the visitors instead of Mrs. George W. Williams, of Savannah, Ga., who failed to arrive. The visitors were Ex-Congressmen John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, now of Chicago, IL; Thomas E. Miller, of Charleston, S.

Now and then he'd get a little relief from some salve or other—but nothing much to speak of. Finally someone told him of Peterson's Ointment — of its powerful healing qualities which had brought such swift, blessed relief to thousands of pile sufferers. Somewhat doubtful, he bought a box—the first application absolutely convinced him that this was the most marvelous Ointment in the world. Why, man alive! That agonizing soreness went right out of those piles—the tortuous itching stopped—before he knew it his piles were gone. Every enterprizing druggist in America knows of the mighty healing power of Peterson's Ointment—he knows it ends piles—one 35c box will prove it. The MAN with the FISH say Laricuse is best.

(ANP)—The prompt arrival of the police played a very active part in saving the life of Uriel Fiblely, here Saturday night, when Katie Sampson attempted to chastise him for "trifling". Three weeks ago the sweethearts staged a pugilistic battle on the street car and Uriel promised to stick to one woman and that one woman was to be Katie. Again she strayed from the paths and Saturday night Katie went to his place of work and attempted to annihilate her "weakness" with bullets.

The audience was discourag- ingly small, ‘but there was no lack of appreciation and well deserved applause as the program proceed- ed_in, inimitable fashion. The program consisted largely of local telent—with piano selec- tions by Miss Hazel Mitchell, Miss Georgianna McMechen, Miss Jean Fisher and Miss Violet. Haywood. Miss Fisher is accompanist of the Choral Club. Miss Lillie Mae Mills rendered two very pleasing vocal numbers, also two vocal numbers: by Miss: Isabelle Harris were, very well done. The pro- gram was interspersed with num- bers from “the chorus, the quar- tette and the girl's sextette. This truly was one of the musical treats of the season. ers through mutual interchange of ideas relative to the whole field of building industry, the Builders’ Conference has grown steadily in popularity and influence. New faces appear at each meeting and those who have attended before re- tain their interest even when un- able to return. From Boston to San Antonio builders from nearly half the states of the country have joined in round table discussions and taken back to their work new ideas and inspiration which will help them produce better build- ings. bs f*White | by tonight |; ‘At last the way Bas been found! to'mate all typee of brown skin ffom 10 to 20 shades whiter in the shortest possible time. ‘Way bother with slow actors we gd thes ove application of this won BG Steworking, great. new discovery (C4) wit tare browa akin" 20 shades Whiter in a few, seconds — make The skin nott and soiooth ax velvet nd Keep all trace of gloss and thine avey for hours. ‘And why should aay man or woman "continue to have a color jot complexion they do not like or have oafee, shiny. skin, when the remedy. thet (Sets aimost iastantiy can bo easily procured? ‘SPANOLA not ov makes ten or brown lexis 10 or 20 shades whiter in = PEW SBC- OND. but f protects and beastifies the skin.

Bundy ‘Congressman Chester C. Bolton outlined the procedure he expects to follow in the appoirftment of ‘candidates to the U. SJ Military Academy at West Point’ and the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The information set forth by Congress- ‘man Bolton indicates’ that quali- fication alone, without reference to race, color, or creed, will govern his appointments to these institu- tions. Congressman Bolton's letter to Councilman Bundy reads in part as_ follows: “Because of the many applica- tions which I am receiving for ap- pointment to both, the Military and Naval Academies, I am fol- lowing the practice of holding @ preliminary competitive examina- tion for those applicants through the courtesy of the U. S. Civil Servico Commission. “I believe you will agree that this is a fair method to determine the qualifications of those anxious to be appointed, and the results of such’ prelimnary exemination will have much to do with the final recommendations which I make. I heve placed no restrictions on this preliminary examination and there is no reason why any boy who re- sides in the 22nd District is not ‘cligible for the test, and I might add it is quite proper for any boy to take the examination. Severe Examination “Of course, you realize, as do all, that the type of work’ requir- |ed’at both West Point and Annapo- |lis necessitates a rather severe ex- amination both mentally and phy- sically, and to assist these young men in their desires I have work- -d consistently with Mr. Jones, our Superintendent of Schools, with a view to better preparing these as- pirants for the examinations. I am _ happy to report I have met with utmost cooperation and sym- pathetic. understanding by Mr. Jones with the results that he has installed a special course of in- struction in mathematics, English and history, the principal studies at the academies, in the high schools with the result that the competitive examination for An- napolis held on January 11th evi- dently brought forth more than forty candidates. This is some- thing unusual for the 22nd_Dis- trict. As indicated above, this examination was open to all ap- plicatts without restrictions, and, broadly ‘speaking, there is no rea- sons, as“you point out in your let- ter, why all boys who can measure up’ to the standards required should not. be eligible for this ex- amination irrespective of color or creed.” | "Tt is expected that many promis- ing colored lads will be induced to qualify under the proceedure set by Congressman Bolton and that some of them will merit the covet- ed appointment to one of these in- ‘stitutions. Vocational School Has Good Program Daily exercises were held at the Margaret. Murray Washington Vo- cational School for girls last week. The oratorical contest on Friday proyed an jnterestnig one.

"EDUCATION TOO MACHINE-LIKE," SCHOOL CLUB IS TOLD HEIRESS AND HUBBY TO STAR Say Offer Has Been Made to Eugene Newton Who Wed Daughter of Multi-Millionaire NEW YORK.—Plans for a mo n picture talkie based on the colorful romance and marriage of Dolores Elizabeth Ford, heiress of a Cincinnati and Eugene Newton, Harlem cabaret dancer, are expected to consumate soon in Hollywood, according to reports recieved here. Disclosures that the marriage of the girl to the Harlem dancer were made by a New York newspaper last fall and brought about denials on the part of the girl's parents to no avail. Newton admitted the marriage, but refused to accept an offer of the parents to give up his bride for a stated sum. He declared that he did not want a penny of their money, but if his white wife did not want him he was ready to withdraw. Not In Paris It was stated that Newton was sent to Paris at the expense of William Ford, the girl's father, to obtain a divorce, but to the surprise of all he turned up in Hollywood, where it is said he will be starred as the villian in the story of his romance with the heiress. From the same source it was learned exversive offers have been made to Miss Ford to appear in the play with Miss Ford to appear in the spouse as the villian and Garrett a hypnotist here. The latter's solitist manifestations which intrusted gatherings here now in the proposed plan. Blanche Stowe, owner of a Broadway tearoom, denied Garrett and Newton are in Paris and admitted she knew their present whoreabout, but declined to discuss the Hollywood story. Sirena Stowe, colored dancer and friend of Newton, was less reticent. She said: Newton may be in Hollywood or Chicago. All I know is he was made an offer to appear in a talkie having to do with the Ford affair. Spirits and hypnotism are to figure in it some way, but I don't know how. He never told me anything of seeking a divorce." At the same time it was intimated in another direction that Dolores may be in Reno establishing residence with a view to divorcing Newton. The latter is reported to have outlived his ill-starred romance with the $20,000,000 heiress and to be planning an alliance with a girl of his own race. Ford, who is president of the Owen-Illinois Bottle Co., a $50,-000,000 corporation, had been credited with furnishing Newton funds with which to seek a Paris divorce and to have defrayed expenses of Garrett while acting in the role of guide and philosopher to the colored man abroad. Caught in Montreal If Dolores is in Reno, as appears likely in view of statements by her former friends here, she is on familiar ground. She acquired residence in the Nevada city to divorce her second husband, Boyd Avin. The brunette beauty's first matrimonial adventure occurred when a girl of 15 she ran away from Burnham School in Northampton, Mass., eloping with George E. Krehbeli, son of the wealthy printer of Cincinnati. She divorced him also. Dr. Scott Wood to Speak at St. Mary's P.E. Church The Rev. Dr. Scott Wood, of Pittsburgh, will speak at St. Mary's, Sunday morning. The Rev.

Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, West Virginia and Virginia. PLAYS WAY OUT OF JAIL NEW YORK.—When Clarence Holland was arraigned in the West Side Court on charges of disturbing the peace by playing his harmonica in the subway, he played for the judge and received a suspended sentence. COOLIDGE BLASTS SUPERIORITY MYTH OF CREOLES New Orleans Society Nonplused by Revelation of Origin of Name NEW ORLEANS. La.—Another racial superiority myth was shot to pieces here by Calvin Coolidge, expresident of the United States, when he brought out that the term Creole did not mean high-birth as supposed, but was derived from the word servant. For years the Creoles of Louisiana, who are yellow of skin, felt themselves far superior to the rest o' the Negro race who inhabit that section of the country. To be termed a Creole was a mark of distinction. Coolidge started something when he asked a group of New Orleans Creoles what was the origin of the word "Creole." "It means a child born of pure bred French or Spanish parents in a new world colony" one of them explained. "I know, but what is the derivation of the word," inquired the former President. "Why, er—" and they looked from one to another. None of them knew but they agreed to find out and let him know the origin of their own, particular and distinct word. So they went to reference books and sent him this: "Creole—A descendant of white people, born in Mexico, South America and the West Indies. Derived from Spanish word Criado, a servant. Craido turned into Craidillo, then Creole and finally Creole." Now the Creoles are wondering how this word, which is the hallmark in Louisiana of high breed, ing, education and social grace, ever had such a low derivation. RECTORTOWN, VA. Although the ground has been recently covered with snow, a very good crowd was in attendance at Mt. Olive's Church services on Sunday morning and listened to a sermon from Timothy 2:12. At 2 o'clock, communion services were conducted. The weather being somewhat had there was no meeting at night. Mrs. Winnie White and Mr. Charles Kinchele are much improved at this writing. Civic Association to Block District Garage The question of suffrage for the District of Columbia was discussed at the meeting of the Bloomingdale Civic Association, Tuesday night, at the Tabor Presbyterian Church. A study of an elective school board was recommended by the legislative committee. A special committee was appointed by the president, Mrs. Jacqueline A. Cuney, to oppose the proposed plan of the District Government to establish its garage at Second and Bryant streets, northwest, and institute injunction proceedings against the District if necessary. The committee included Guy Tinner, William B. Fauntroy, and E. S. Harris.

NEGRO PRESS FLAYS ALL-WHITE COMMISSION General Idea is President Failed Negro Constituency In White Selection It is the general opinion of the Nezro press that President Hoover failed his colored constituency when he appointed a complete white commission to a black republic. The Journal and Guide of Norfolk, Virginia says the personnel "will not meet the approval of colored Americans." The Guide said: "The personnel of President Hoover's Haitian Commission will not meet the approval of colored Americans, who from the standpoint of racial kinship and interest in Haiti, had a strong claim for representation on it. This special claim, as American citizens and as a traditional aid of the Republican party, was repeatedly urged upon the President to no avail. The appointment of Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee, as an extra-commissioner, does not at all square with the justifiable claim of colored Americans for a place on the commission, and if the President feels that this move meets the administration's obligations of recognition, to Colored America, he is doubtless mistaken." The Philadelphia Tribune hopes Dr. Moton will not accept his jim-crow appointment. Regarding the Commission it says: "Many white people as well as large numbers of Negroes urged the President to select an American who is of the same racial extraction as the Haitians. A few of America's leading daily papers joined with the Negro press in suggesting the appointment of a Negro to the commission. "This advise was predicated upon on the peculiar circumstances which led to the present investigation. It has been alleged that the basic cause for the unrest in Haiti is the prejudice exhibited by the Marines in dealing with the natives. It is self evident that an American citizen who suffers from the same condition would gain the confidence of the Haitians and obtain a clearer picture of just what is going on in Haiti. "In view of all the circumstances in the case it is sincerely hoped that Dr. Moton refuses to accept any such appointment. And since Dr. Moton will have the opportunity to reply to the request it would be an excellent idea for him to tell the President 'What the Negro Thinks.'" The New York News heads its editorial with "No Colored Commissioner." It says: "Neither the colored masses of America nor of Haiti will approve the failure of President Hoover to appoint a single colored member of the Haitian Inquiry Commission. Certain it is that this all-white commission, eminent and ex (Continued on page 10) HOOVER SEEKS SALARY INCREASE FOR U. S. CONSUL TO LIBERIA John F. Cook School Many of the classes in the John F. Cook School engaged in the activities relative to the celebration of St. Valentine's Day on Friday, February 14. Much of the desired creative work was performed by the little ones and some very pretty Valentines were the results. The little folks in the kindergarten had a very pretty Valentine party under the direction of their teachers. Mrs. G. T. Staley and Mrs. M. S. Ellis. The decorations, favors and Valentines were made by the children. They spent an enjoyable hour in their rooms. At 1:30 p.m., the student body, parents and friends were invited to the auditorium to witness a pageant of the Negro in connection with the annual observance of Negro History Week. The purpose of this celebration was to familiarize the boys and girls with the splendid achievements of the noted men and women of our race, with the hope that they too will be inspired to have developed whatever genius there is and give to America their own rich contributions. The children who took part in the pageant very ably assisted their parents in making and getting together their costumes which were representative of the character they revealed. They also secured for themselves the necessary properties. Without the use of curtains, it became evident that a stage manager was needed, and James Holloman proved to be a very good one. President Hoover, last Thursday, sent to the Senate a message transmitting a report by J. P. Cotton, Acting Secretary of State, recommending an increase in the salary of the minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia from $5,000 to $10,000 a year. This is the third request for legislation authorizing an increase in the salary of the minister to Liberia that has been made of Congress. Two recommendations were made by President Coolidge. They were referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations where they were pigeon-holed. The report of Mr. Cotton to the President urging the request to be made for enactment of legislation authorizing the increase is virtually the same as the report of former Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg to President Coolidge two years ago on the same subject. President Hoover in his message said he "is in full accord with the reasons advanced by the Acting Secretary, of State in support of the increase and I strongly urge upon the Congress the enactment of legislation authorizing it." American Interests The report of Acting Secretary Cotton says in part: "The United States has a number of definite interests in Liberia, all of which the American minister must maintain and advance. Liberia began under American auspices, having been colonized by MAY ESTABLISH ART GALLERY AT HOWARD $1,000 Gift Paves Way for Project to Make Negro Art Center Here The art work of Jas. L. Wells, instructor of design of Howard University, is now on exhibition with the College Art Association traveling exhibition at Princeton University. The piece designed by Mr. Wells is the wood cut submitted by the Downtown Gallery of New York, entitled "An African Fetish." Thirty-six other wood cuts of Mr. Wells were exhibited in the public library of New York during the month of December, also, he has recently exhibited a painting at the New Art Circle of New York, entitled "The Flight into Egypt," which received special comment in an article published in the Boston Herald by Washburn Freun, special art critic for International Studio. Mr. Wells has just completed the illustrations for the book entitled "Plays and Pagements of Negro Life", which is not yet off the press. Mr. Wells is a graduate of Teachers' College of Columbia University, in the class of '27, having spent three and a half years at the National Academy of Design, New York. Prior to his coming to Howard last fall he was employed as artist and decorator for Venezian Art Screen Co. of 554 Madison avenue, New York. In addition to his other work, Mr. Wells has contributed illustrations to Survey Graphic, and numerous other magazines. An effort is now in operation to establish an art gallery at Howard, for which purpose the ground floor of Andrew Rankin Chapel is to be remodeled. The University has received an initial gift of $1,000 towards this project. Such a gallery will be one of the show places of the university, in which the work of students, and members of the faculty may be on exhibition for the benefit of visitors to the university, and the general student body.

Rubber Plantations "American capital is being invested on a large scale in the development of rubber plantations. An American concession permits the planting of 1,000,000 acres, which is now being developed at the rate of about 20,000 acres per year, and at an approximate cost of $1,000,000 annually. There is a $5,000,000 loan to Liberia placed in America and secured by American receivership of customers under the direction of an American bank and assisted by an American financial adviser. "Moreover, with the cost of living at Monrovia for a foreigner being even higher than it is in the United States, it is impossible for the American minister, unless he be a man of large independent means to meet the requirement of diplomatic life and his family necessities on the small salary now granted to the post." Francis Marty William T. Francis was the last appointee to this position. He died at his post from fever. His body was returned to this country for burial. Solomon Porter Hood was also returned to America after being stricken. At present time there is no American Consul in Liberia.

Porter, former assistant state's attorney, will supervise the taking of the census among the bulk of Chicago's colored population, according to an announcement made Monday that he had been offered and had accepted the appointment, made on the recommendation of United States Senator Charles S. Deneen. Mr. Porter will be assigned, as far as can be ascertained now, to the Eighth District, which comprises the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Eleventh Wards, which include the Congressional District of Congressman Oscar DePriest. Mr. Porter is a native of Texas and a graduate of the University of Michigan. For eight years he was in the state's attorney's office, under Robert E. Crowe, resigning in 1927, to take up the private practice of law. Later, he ran on the Deneen ticket as a candidate for municipal judge, but failed of election. He is regarded as an able lawyer, a public-spirited citizen, and is admired by his colleagues in the profession for his affable gentlemanly bearing. This is the first time in the history of the United States Senate Bureau that a Negro has been appointed a supervisor. Instructor flays Mass Production in Present Day Educational System Demanding a restatement of educational aims, so that the work of teachers, research workers, specialists and administrators may be made definite, and the youth and children of the public schools, once more become the center of interest, at least in the class rooms, Charles M. Thomas, who for 35 years has been engaged in educational work, addressed the School Club, at the home of Dr. N. J. Cardozo, Fairmount Heights, last Saturday night. "The Evening Star's description of the condition of our school buildings, shows that where we should have imitated big business, we have failed lamentably, while we have been following big business methods in educating the children; we have gone in for mass production, the card index and statistical charts," said Prof. Thomas. Teacher's Problem Teacher's Problem Perhaps the "School and Society" is the problem of the curriculum makers, but the "Individual and the Social Order" is the problem of the teacher, now as when schools, were established, and that makes the indivuality, the spirit of the children, the most important consideration for the teacher, declared the speaker, as he reviewed the philosophers who have been quoted as guides for ever-shifting educational aims. Prof. Thomas thinks that we have been anesthetized by such slegans as "Education for democracy, and democracy in education," with the curriculum makers dominating the work by examinations which turn into artizans. "We have been led to believe that children went through schools like raw materials through a factory from stage to stage towards completion, but the facts are the child is complete at every stage of his life. He simply passes through cycles of romance, precision and generalization as he widens his outlook upon life. Only the teacher in direct contact with the child, and enthusiastic like an artist in the unfolding of a personality, knows when to feed that romance, discipline the precision of work, ideas or conduct, and to offer or to test for those generalizations which all men have been obliged to re-learn through the ages. "Of course it is natural for the schools to imitate the success of business, but in doing so, they lose the power they possess to find newer and better ways of social direction," he declared. In the discussion which followed under the direction of Assistant Superintendent, Eugene A. Clark, it was agreed that job analysis sheets and work material should be supplied to pupils who would then proceed at their own rates toward the mastery of their problems either to learn to do, and come to a realization of their own selves. G. C. Wilkinson, H. H. Long, W. L. Smith, G. D. Houston, R. I. Vaughn, E. A. Clark, F. E. Parks, Dr. F. Cardozo, J. C. Bruce, C. M. Thomas and Dr. E. B. Henderson are members. W. L. Smith is president, of the school club. Institute Hears Bishop McDowell Bishop Wm. F. McDowell addressed the student body of the Mid-Winter Institute, Thursday evening, February 13, at Asbury M. E. Church, Washington, D.C. His remarks were centered on these words: "If you are accomplishing what you are trying to accomplish, what will you have accomplished?" Class night was celebrated on Friday with a general discussion of the most important subjects in each class. During the evening refreshments were served and short speeches were made by the dean and members of the faculty. Rev. R. F. Coates, superintendent of the Washington district, delivered a special sermon to the student body, after which certificates were presented by the dean, Rev. J. H. Jenkins and his assistant, Mrs. S. Addelle. Our enrollment number fifty-one. Mrs. Doy, president of the District Board of Epworth Leagues and manager of the Mid-winter Institute, speaking of the work done during the week, said she was confident each succeeding year would add to the group, numerically, intellectually and spiritually. Application for Negro Radio Station Refused Application of the Kansas City American, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo., a weekly publication edited by Dr. William J. Thompkins, to erect a new broadcasting station to be devoted entirely to the transmission of programs bearing upon the welfare of the Negro, was denied by the Federal Radio Commission last Friday.
