estate, then earned his way through
an agricultural college by hard
labor. A profound determination
sustained him through poverty and
illness. He made religion a creative
force to a degree unsurpassed by
any contemporary. During four and
a half decades he directed the en-
deavors Of the research and ex-
perimental laboratory at Tuskegee,
literally bringing the world to his
door. His major purpose from first
to last was to find new and more
helpful uses for common things.
In a long succession, he produced
plastics and lubricants, medicines,
substitutes for wood and stone, food
stuffs and such homely commodities
as soaps and shoe polishes. His
methods were chemical, his OBJ
jectives entirely idealistlc.
But honors were showered upon
him. 1t would have been an in
dictment of civilization had he been
neglected. His pictures were &C.
cepted for the Luxembourg Gallery
in Paris, he was elected member
of the Royal Society of Arts in
London, he received the Spingarn
Medal in 1923 and the Roosevelt
Medal in 1899. A bronze portrait
bust of him stands on a pink
Georgia marble shaft in the campus
of the institute with which his
name is Immortality associated. No
one knew his age. 1t was supposed
that he was born about 1864. Time,
however, meant little to such a
spirit. He always was old, yet he
always was young. His countrymen
esteemed him, admired him, loved
him and even now will not let
him CO."

Bridge
By Frank B. Lord

The duplicate players OF the Capt.
tay City Chess Club were defeated
in a team-of- -four challenge match
on Monday night by foursomes rep
resenting the Women's Auxiliary of
the Washington Bridge League. The
challengers were the members of the
Chess Club and the contest was
staged in the clubs headquarters in
the Gordon Hotel.
Seven teams were in play on each
side. The women took the lead
from the first and maintained it
throughout the match although at
times by a narrow margin. The
game was for total points and when
the last board was played the score
showed them more than 1000 ahead.
Discovery was made, however, that
the cards in one of the boards had
been changed from their original
positions which resulted much to the
advantage of the women and it was
decided to throw it out and the
computation was made upon the re-
mainder. This action left the aux
iliary still more than 400 points
ahead.
The Chess Club is seeking team
of-four match with the National
Press Club players. Arrangements
will be conducted by DR.. j. v. Waits
for the Chess Club and by ]. c..
Atchison for the Press Club.
The Bloopers held their place at
the head of the list in the Federal
Bridge Leagues team of -four series
by winning II out of "a boards on
Tuesday night. Their foursome con-
sists of David Murray, J. D. Boyd,
]. G. Fletcher and Comdr. j. J. Par
rish. In the second section the Al
lies won 151a, with their team con-
sisting of Mrs. June Hodgkins, R. H
Higgins, Miss Jessie McEnery and
/ G. P. Graham. In the third section
the Gaps were victorious, winning Is
of 81 boards. Their foursome con-
sists of Miss Dee Folsome, John
Read, Phil Monahan and Cliff Carl
stadt. The lineup of the teams as
result of last Tuesdays game is
Bloopers, Mixed Party, Spartans,
Saupps, Bees, Allies, Gaps, Atomics
and Victory.
The first annual open-pair cham
pionship game of the Federal will be
played at Pierce Hall, Fifteenth and
Harvard streets NV, February %.
1t will be in two sessions, one at 2
in the afternoon and the second at

prizes for winners and runners-up
as well as the usual ACBL mas
ter points.
George L. Kathan, president of the
Federal, has gone to New York to
attend the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the American Con-
tract Bridge League, to which he was
elected at the Florida winter tour

Sometimes it is wise for declarer
