VOL. VI.—NO. 1 CLUB WOMEN OF CITY DOING A GREAT WORK AMONG OUR GROUP The Phoenix Federation of Colored Women Buying Two Houses and Four Lots for Community Work. By Lynn Ross Carter, State President A short history of the club movement in Phoenix, Arizona. Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was organized in 1915, incorporated August 11, 1915, and met in their first annual meeting 1916 at Phoenix, Arizona, with Ella S. White presiding. At this meeting a resolution from the Progressive Club of Phoenix was presented by Lillie Wiggins, asking that a Club House be bought in Phoenix for the benefit of the Club Women of Arizona. The resolution was accepted by the state convention there assembled. Each member was asked to pay in $1.00 and each club $50.00 annually. At the 1917 meeting, the Phoenix members contributed, also the Dunbar Club and the Progressive Club $25.00 each, and other Phoenix clubs contributed smaller amounts. The State President being absent from the state the greater part of 1917 and 1918, and the war taking precedence over all work, the movement lagged. The Progressive Club and the Charity Club bought $50.00 Liberty Bonds, also the other clubs in Phoenix bought a $50.00 bond, making a total of $150.00 Liberty bonds, same to go to the Building Fund. In 1918 Lynn Ross Carter was elected State President. In 1918 and 1919 very little was accomplished, as out-of-town clubs did not favor the idea of contributing to a Phoenix Club House, so the plan for a state building was given up. The latter part of 1919 the Phoenix club women decided to put the movement through. December 9, 1920, the following clubs incorporated as the Phoenix Feeration of Colored Women's Clubs: Progressive, Goldinol, Charity, Dunbar and Sunshine, with the following incorporators: Lynn Ross Carter, Jessie James, Ada Jones, Georgia A. Owens, Elma Skaggs, L. Ada Walker and Nola Hamilton. Being organized for purposes other than profit, its general purpose being the mental, moral and spiritual advancement, and improvement of its members through cooperative effort and the employment of all proper methods within the scope of a social organization, and to this end the corporation shall be empowered to acquire property and to purchase, own, hold, operate, mortgage sell, lease or otherwise dispose of such real property as may be necessary for the business and objects of the corporation. Immediately after the incorporation the following officers were elected: Jessie James—President. G. A. Owens—1st Vice President. Nola Hamilton—2nd Vice President. Gussie Manning—Recording Sec'y. Lynn Ross Carter—Corresponding Sec'y. Jennie Lucas—Financial Sec'y. Ada Jones—Treasurer. Ruby Jones—Auditor. A financial campaign was immediately launched, but owing to the financial depression in Phoenix, the returns were not what was anticipated. The need of a Community Club House was so great the club women decided to make this a race community center—to provide a place for the benefit of the boys and girls of Phoenix, as there was no place open to them for clean amusements. As the work progresses, a swimming pool, tennis court, gymnasium, and other amusements will be provided. The club women want everyone to feel that they are welcome, that this property is not only for the Club Women but for the Race. One house and lot is set apart for the use of the Colored Women's Charity Club and their work. These energetic women have at once started to paint and beautify this house for immediate use. The grounds will soon be put in condition for a tennis court and other out-door amusements. The present Officers and Committees are as follows: Ruby Jones—President. Vice Presidents — Elma Skaggs, Ayra E. Hackett, Emma McPinion, L. Ada Walker and Constance Hall. Emma Gardner—Recording Sec'y. L. Ada Walker — Corresponding Sec'y. Lynn Ross Carter—Financial Sec'y.

There are among us those who foolishly believe that our physicians cannot possibly render service with as much skill as the white practitioners. When these folks are ill they immediately summon a white physician who, in all probability, wrinkles his fair countenance with a frown of disgust when he learns that the party at the other end of the line is a colored person. It is probable that he will be unable to call for several hours hoping the person calling will call a practitioner of his own race. And it is equally as probable that the person who is ill will wait several days if necessary to have the white physician Coue him into full health. Colored physicians are as well prepared to serve you as any to be found anywhere. And in many cases they are even better prepared than the white physicians. And there is a reason for this. Those who receive their training at either of the colored medical schools are especially fitted for their life's work. At these institutions are large colored hospitals where they do practical work. Here they learn how various diseases affect the organisms of colored folks and the best means of combating these diseases. On the other hand those who are trained at other medical schools are in most cases better fitted than their classmates. With them there is pulling of wires to get by the course. It is hard work and grim determination that brings them to their goal. Practically every medical school in the country places handicaps upon colored students. This is signally true of two or three of the larger Middlewestern schools. Is it not reasonable to expect the man who has overcome handicaps to be the better prepared? When you are ill remember that the physician who worships in the same church in which you worship and who belongs to the same lodges to which you belong, is in a position to render you skilled and sympathetic service. Chandler Mr. Walter McConnell of Grand Canyon, Arizona, is visiting in Chandler this week, and is the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gray. Mrs. E. Temple Fuller has been real sick for the last week. At this writing she is reported better. Walter McConnell and Jack Gray motored to Tucson Thursday on a business trip. Mr. Geo. Gilmore and Mrs. Laura McCloud were visitors at the Gray ranch Friday afternoon. Mrs. J. W. Everett is still on the sick list.

W. station park, where they were joined by Mr. Ruby Cotton, Miss Marguerite Watson, Mr. Frankle Denkins and Mrs. Hazel Fortson. Mr. W. H. Green, a pioneer citizen of Tucson, made a flying business trip to California, returning last week. He reports an enjoyable trip.

Secret Tips of Tucson Secret Tips of Tucson "Say, Johnny, I see you are attending church very often of late." "Well, boys, it's nothing only the old saying is being fulfilled once more, that parents' prayers will be answered." "It seems to me that it is a young lady that's causing you to come out" "Well, regardless of what it is, boys, the old saying goes that the master works things in mysterious ways." Mr. and Mrs. Tom McConnell, Mrs. J. W. Ranen and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gray of Chandler, motored to Nogales, Mexico, Sunday and spent a most delightful day. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gray of Chandler spent the week end in Tucson as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. McConnell and Mrs. Ranen. To Whom It May Concern: The Secret Tips correspondent of Tucson has been asked to inform the readers thru the Tribune the name of the young lady in Phoenix that Mr. Preston is in love with. At this time the best answer we can give is that she is a girl from the Hawaiian Islands. Father—"Else, my daughter, Mr. Turner's watch was very fast last night." Daughter—"Why so, father?" Father—"When you were outside the door I heard him say, 'Just one,' and I looked at my watch and it was just ten thirty." WANTED—A young lady of fair complexion and slender build. She was seen with me quite often six months ago. At present she is residing on North Fell avenue. Signed: Mr. Lovett Williams. First Guy—"Say, George what is the first step to Hardin p?" Second Guy—"There are many, Beverly, but the one young men usually take is 'Courtship.'" Business Trip South Mr. W. J. Jones, manager of the Palace Tailoring Co., made a brief business visit to Superior, Arizona, Wednesday. He motored over in a high-power touring car and spent the day as the guest of Mr. J. H. Miller, prominent business man of Superior. Mr. Jones was delighted with the drive over the new paved road, this being his first trip to Superior since the completion of the new highway. He states that things are booming in Superior and people are coming there daily from other sections. KU KLUX KLAN BILL ALLOWED TO BECOME A LAW BY GOV. HUNT KU KLUX KLAN BILL ALLOWED TO BECOME A LAW BY GOV. HUNT Through the failure of Governor Geo. W. P. Hunt to take any action upon Substitute House bill, No. 57, the so-called "Ku Klux Klan" bill, the measure on Wednesday, March 21, became a law of the state without his signature and will be known as Chapter 78 of the session laws of 1923. It will become operative on June 8. This bill was one of the last to be brought to the governor's office and with its transmission to the office of James H. Kirby, secretary of state, no more bills remain in the governor's office. The bill which was introduced by Douglas of Yavapai county, makes the wearing of masks by assemblies in public a misdemeanor and by organization for the purpose of disguise or intimidation a felony, punishable if convicted by a penitentiary sentence. The bill excepts the wearing of masks for the purpose of amusement or entertainment of attendance at meeting of fraternal organizations. The letter of transmittal to the secretary of state says: Substitute House Bill No. 57 has been in my hands now for ten days since the adjournment of the legislature, it is therefore the law and I am herewith transmitting it to your office for filing. I am somewhat doubtful of the advisability of enacting this character of legislation. Experience has proven that repressive legislation enacted to meet one situation frequently results in it being applied to persons and organizations who were not considered at all at the time of the passage. I have in mind, for instance, the Sherman Anti-Trust law, which was passed to curb the trusts of the country, but which has done little to prevent the consolidation of our industries into a few large corporations, which has been employed so often by the federal courts in hampering and restricting the activities of labor organizations. "The fact that the democratic platform pledged the enactment of some such legislation impelled me to permit the bill to become a law. Very truly yours, "GEO. W. P. HUNT, Governor." BOY SCOUTS CELEBRATE The first public demonstration was given by the Boy Scouts of Troop No. 14 on February 23d, and the following program was readered at the A. M. E. Zion church: Opening Song—America. Invocation—Mr. G. S. Rodgers. Music—Scout Orchestra. Scout Song—Co, Ca, Che, Lunk. Address—Prof. P. Landry. Piano Solo—John Ready. Saxaphone Solo—Douglas Smith.

But one day he did advertise. And thereby hangs a tale— MESA By Mrs. R. N. Roan The Gem City has been on turn table for a while, as some go away and others come. The Frank Moore family, Attaways, and Mr. Watkins left for California, not knowing just where they would locate—just California bound. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Turner, of North Morris St., have moved to the country, and will engage in farming. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, newly married couple, are domiciled at 44 N. Morris St. The A. M. E. Sunday school is doing nicely with the few faithful scholars we have. The Young Misses and Friends of the Sunday School gave an ice cream social Saturday night, which was quite a success. They are trying to raise funds for some young people's hymnals. The pupils of Washington school of Mesa organized a literary society. The club elected as their officers: Thomas Atchison, President; Mattie Atchison, Secretary; William Taylor, Treasurer, and Helen Ferguson, Chairman of Committees. They have a meeting once a week. Robert Scott, reporter. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, of 20 South Robson St., will be pleased to serve you nice barbecued meats of all kinds every Saturday. Call. Mr. Joe Graham of So. Morris St., who is working in the capital city during the legislature, comes home for week end visits every Saturday to see his family. Recently he brought some things to the children, and he and his wife ate too much, and were real sick. We advise him to leave that particular portion in Phoenix in the future. The pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Mrs. P. M. Maxfield, organized the W. H. M. S. among the ladies of the church. They have decided to call their society the Allens W. H. M. S., out of respect to our late presiding elder, Rev. J. W. Allen. The following officers have been elected for the fiscal year: President, Mrs. R. M. Roan; First Vice President, Mrs. B. Graham; Chaplain, Mrs. P. McKelvey; Treasurer, Mrs. P. McKelvey; Secretary, Mrs. Katie Strellen; Executive Board Chairman, Sallie Lockett. They hold their meetings every Monday at the homes of the different members, serve refreshments and have half an hour every meeting devoted to round table discussions, giving our subject at each meeting, which gives us a week of study time. Our last subject was Our four young misses, the Misses Ethel and Ruth Porter, McFreda Robertson and Vera Lee McKelvey, are planning on organizing a Phyllis Wheatley Club, and try to get the other young girls interested in something that is elevating. We can't give these young girls too much praise for starting such an effort. Mrs. Chavis Freed After deliberating forty-five minutes, the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal in the case of Mrs. Emmogene Bell Chavis, who was being tried on a charge of first degree murder. The charge grew out of the slaying of Mrs. Chavis' husband, J. P. Chavis, on Christmas night, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Carter, 1328 East Monroe street. Mrs. Chavis was defended by attorney Hermon Lewkowitz and W. E. Watkins as associate counsel. The Old Reliable Brother Rosser, the vegetable man, has come to be known as "The Old Reliable" by every housewife in Phoenix. He carries a clean, fresh line of fruits and vegetables, and you can always depend on him. He makes the rounds six days in the week, rain or shine, and all housewives now have learned to wait for him and his fresh vegetables. If his business continues to grow in the future as it has in the past, it will be necessary for him to purchase a small Ford truck in order to cover the territory. The names, "Brother Rosser" and Fresh Vegetables are synonymous. To Los Angeles Mrs. J. B. Bell and daughter, Mrs. Emmogene Bell Chavis left several days ago for their home in Los Angeles. They will be joined later by another daughter, Mrs. J. O. Greene of this city, who will spend the summer on the coast. A WORD TO PARENTS The Tribune cannot emphasize too strongly the necessity of parents visiting the schools attended by their children, becoming acquainted with their children's teachers and co-operating with them in every way possible. There is a crying need for this. Moreover, we desire to sound a note of warning to parents, and that is this: Don't be so quick to take your child's word about being imposed upon by his or her teacher. Get the facts first. Consult the teacher. Doubtless, since teachers are human, there will be cases were partiality may be shown and even injustice, but these will be the exception rather than the rule. Children who are studious and behave themselves generally get along well wherever they are. If your children are to receive the best results from the excellent educational advantages offered by this city and state, then there must be co-operation of the home with the school. Unruly children in school are unruly at home. School training cannot take the place of proper home training. One must supplement the other. A solemn duty and responsibility rests upon parents who are too ready to shift this responsibility up the school. CHRISTIANITY If all men and women who profess to be Christians would put into daily practice the teachings and preachments of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ there would be peace and harmony, good will and brotherly love, and complete accord amongst the people of the world today. Fellowship and unity would prevail everywhere where there is now discord, envy and hatred. But the fact that so many people use the name of religion and pose as Christians to cover up their devilty, peace and harmony cannot get a hearing. It may be if we had fewer churches and more divinely inspired and consecrated ministers and church leaders instead of so many isms and misfit preachers and teachers, we could make greater progress in a spiritual way. SUPERIOR Mr. John Brown, the popular piano tuner, is replacing the lost jazz in the pianos about town this week. Mrs. Brown is with Mr. Brown and is spending the week end with Mrs. Miller at the Club House. Mr. Jake Burns has resigned his position as chef at the mess house and is going to open a restaurant in the west end. Mr. Burns is a first class cook, and we wish him success. Mr. Henry Wilson succeeds Mr. Burns as chef at the mess house. I wish to say to the readers of the Tribune that I believe in patronizing and backing up home industry. I have been a subscriber to the Tribune the past three years and have always found it to produce only the very cleanest news, and am an interested reader of same. I think it should be the duty of every colored citizen to feel it his or her duty to support the cause by using their influence toward getting new subscribers for this paper. Let the motto be "Get together and stay together," and we'll know each other through the columns of the Phoenix Tribune, Arizona's leading newspaper. Wm. F. Blake Post Elects The regular meeting of William F. Blake post No. 40, American Legion, was held Monday, March 26, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. The following were elected: Dr. A. A. McDonald, post commander; Charles Massey, vice commander; Frank N. White, Jr., post adjutant; Ellis O. Knox, finance officer; Floyd Shomo, Walter McMath, Roy Bailey, executive committee; John Meyers, Julian Phillips, Raymond Lewis, entertainment committee. After the election the new post commander made a fine talk on the betterment of the post and the legion. Christian Endeavor The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the A. M. E. church is growing more and more interesting and the attendance is increasing. Some very important and helpful subjects are discussed and all are given an opportunity to speak. These meetings are held every Sunday evening from 6:30 to 7:30. If you would enjoy a pleasant hour in bible study, attend the meetings. A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year KLAN ADMINISTERS SEVERE BEATING TO COLORED BARBER ST. LOUIS, Mo., Mar. 29—In City hospital No. 2 here Hes R. S. Jordan, barber, 46 years old, of Osceola, Ark, suffering from internal injuries and severe abrasions on his back and abdomen. He says they were inflicted Thursday night in the court house at Osceola by members of the Ku Klux Klan, led by Frank Conway (white), town marshal, who bought him a railroad ticket to St. Louis and compelled him to leave town on threats of being lynched. Jordan for 12 years had conducted a barber shop in Osceola, but did not permit a member of his race to enter it. He is married and owns his home, where his wife remained to sell their property. He said his first intimation that anything was wrong came when his porter, Otis McMurray, was whipped and deported. The following night Town Marshal Conway took him from his shop and, without explanation, locked him in a room in the court house, he said, and two hours later, about 10 o'clock, returned with four other men. They took him to an upstairs room, removed his clothing and laid him across a bench, several men holding his hands and feet. Jordan said Conway demanded to know why he had written a letter to a white woman. He denied he had done so and challenged them to produce the letter. Then another of the men remarked, according to Jordan, "You did say that you would shoot 16 Ku Klux, didn't you?" and with that began beating him with what he believes was a leaf of an automobile spring. After being beaten with the metal instrument Jordan was taken from the court house to the yard below, and while putting on his clothes was struck in the face with fists. Then he was taken to the railroad station, where Conway bought him a ticket to St. Louis and admonished him not to leave the train in the state of Arkansas or he would be lynched. Jordan also stated that Mrs. Sally Tallie also was flogged in the court house that night because she refused to acknowledge that Jordan had associated with a white woman. Conway, according to reports in Osceola, has often been accused of violating the color line after night falls. Epworth League Splendid meetings are being held every Sunday evening by the Epworth League of the C. M. E. church and the topics are quite interesting. Mr. Matthew White, the wide-awake president of the League, is bringing things to pass and this is now the best organized and largest League in the Arizona-New Mexico district of the C. M. E. church. Meetings are held from 6:30 to 7:30 each Sunday evening. You are cordially invited to attend. *** To Chicago Mr. Marlon Jones, chauffeur for Mrs. Ames, wife of the late Dr. Ames of Chandler, Arizona, left this week for Chicago, where he will remain until next fall. Mr. Jones has been spending the winters in the valley for several years, and is well known and popular among members of the younger set. Pearl Borders was mysteriously slain Tuesday afternoon, March 6th, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clay, 1214 East Jefferson street. The right side of the man's head was torn away by a charge from a shot gun. Mrs. Clay was placed under arrest and is being held for investigation in connection with the case. More Wedding Bells Mr. Edward Rouse and Mrs. Ella Jefferson of this city were married Sunday, March 25, in Blythe, Calif. The bride is a member of Antioch Baptist church and quite prominent socially.

This beautiful building represents an outlay of more than $10,000 and Rev. Solly is to be com- plimented for having erected such a magnificent building. It's a credit to the owner, to his race, to the city and to the State of Arizona. ter Sustains Injuries Mr W. A.

That is to say, day and night, for the entire week with the exception of one day. This system is antiquated and almost obsolete; and, moreover, and this is the crux of the question, it is at once both immoral and uneconomical. It is immoral because the men are deprived of the natural social contact with their families and friends, the consequence of which will occur to anyone who will stop to consider them at all. It is uneconomical for the reason that the City already has a large investment in first-class and up-to-date fire apparatus, stations and payroll, the latter amounting to $67,000.00 per year, and it is an impossibility to keep the equipment properly manned at all times, the force being depleted from 23 to 12 men for a period of nine hours every day, necessitated by days off and meal shifts. And it is uneconomical for the further reason that it is an impossibility to maintain the proper enthusiasm and morale where men have to remain on duty day and night without relief. Under this systhere is no reserve force whatsoever, for emergencies. Respectfully Submitted THE PHOENIX FIRE BOYS a financial success. The program was excellent, all numbers being well rendered. Mrs. J. Tannehill is the president of this society and to her much credit is due for the success of the rally. The trustees' rally given a short time ago by officers of the A. M. E. church proved entirely successful and a neat sum was realized for this department. C. S. V. Jones managed the affair. Mrs. M. T. Tolleson, of Houston, Texas, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Daniel umph at 1326 East Madison street. She has been slightly indisposed since her arrival, but is now doing fine. A. M. E. Sunday School The great contest between the Reds and the Blues is nearing the close and members of the A. M. E. Sunday school are on their toes in anticipation of a great event. The winners will be served ice cream and cake and the losers will have to be content with cheese and crackers. Sunday school officers have a great treat in line for the year. After the close of the membership drive, which will be on or about March 29th, the Easter program will be held. After this, arrangements will be made for the annual picnic, which will be held at Granite Reef Dam. Plenty of refreshments will be served free to all and a good time guaranteed every one. For a wide-awake Sunday school, attend the A. M. E., corner 2nd and Jefferson streets. Geo. W. Hardiman, Supt. The second Sunday in April has been set aside as Antioch Baptist church rally day, and a gigantic effort will be put forth to liquidate the debt hanging over this church. All pastors and their congregations will assist in this great drive, and at 8:00 o'clock a special effort will be made. Remember, April 8 is Antioch Day, and everybody is expected to attend services at this church. Baptist Minister Leaves The Rev. E. D. Greene, who for the past two and one-half years has served as pastor of the Second Baptist church, tendered his resignation some time ago to this congregation and on Sunday night, March 11th, preached his farewell sermon. Members and friends of the church gave a banquet in his honor the following Wednesday night, at which time many excellent papers were read and appropriate talks made by leaders of the race. Dr. Greene has been a faithful minister and has done some constructive work for the church during his brief stay in the city. He resigns to accept a more lucrative position as pastor of a larger church in California. He has been an outstanding figure in the life of this community and his place will be hard to fill. He carries with him to his new charge, not only the best wishes of his congregation, but of all the colored people of Phoenix. The B. Y. P. U. of the church presented him a pair of shoes as a token of respect and esteem. Wednesday Evening, March 14 Rev. E. D. Greene, who for the past two and one-half years pastored the Second Baptist church, on the eve of his departure to Los Angeles was given a farewell banquet by the church. James L. Davis acted as master of ceremonies, and a splendid program was rendered. The gathering was delighted with several selections by some of our most popular citizens. Mr. M. H. Shelton made the principal address, after which a sumptuous repast was enjoyed by all. The committee takes this method of thanking all who helped in any way in making the last days of Rev. Greene as happy as his first days in our church, our city and our community. Jas. L. Davis, Church Clerk. Wedding a Success The mock wedding given a short time ago by the Stewardesses of the A. M. E. church, a scream, and a financial success. Benny James as the bride and Geo. Hardiman as the groom, were incomparable. Mrs. Chas. Fish managed the affair. Quarterly Meeting Held The Rev. J. M. Endicott, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church in this district, held his quarterly meeting here Sunday, March 25, and his quarterly conference Monday night. He delivered two able sermons that were well received. Splendid reports were given Monday night by all departments, and the conference was well attended. He left later for other points in the district. Visitor From Los Angeles Mr. C. L. Pickett of Los Angeles, Cal., spent a few days in the city last week visiting Mrs. Lillie F. McGee and daughter, who are guests in the Franklin hotel, 219 East Jefferson. Mrs. McGee is here for the benefit of her daughter's health. Peerless lodge K. of P. and the Court of Clanthans held their annual thanksgiving services Sunday afternoon at the C. M. E. church, and the Rev. M. Thompson preached the sermon. Many attended and the affair was a success. N. A. A. C. P. Meeting The meeting of the local branch, N. A. A. C. P. held last Friday night at the A. M. E. Zion church, was quite interesting and very well attended. Some important matters were taken up and discussed, and it was decided that the meeting nights be changed from Tuesdays to Fridays. The next meeting of the association will be held Friday night. April 6th, at the Zion Methodist church, 10th St. and M.

Irvine and Luke W. Henderson for CITY COMMISSIONERS Election April 3rd The TWO PLATOON system will require the employment of only twelve additional men at a cost of $21,000 per year, and will provide a double shift of firemen, the shifts being on duty for an average period of twelve hours per day. It will adequately man the excellent equipment the City now has; it will provide a reserve force of the entire shift that is off duty, which will be subject to call for emergencies, and thereby provide a modern and efficient fire department. Many states of the Union—Arizona being an exception—have passed laws making it illegal to operate under the Continuous System, thereby enforcing TWO PLATOONS or shifts. The cities of Douglas, Bisbee, Tucson and Globe now have two shifts in their fire departments. Finally, this whole question quickly settles itself squarely upon moral grounds, regardless of the cost. It is essentially and inherently wrong to require men to be penned up as herein described, and there can be no question what the verdict of the Voters of the City of Phoenix will be when a question of this character is put before them. Vote YES for TWO PLATOONS at the City Election to be held April 3rd for a bigger and better fire department. Washington. A good program has been arranged and a treat is in store for all who attend.

"Practice makes perfect" is true today, at is was from the time when man first began to do things for himself, and just here is where the weakness of the race comes in. Unused to any sort of business, because the race can boast of few enterprises which are calculated to give our youths any degree of practice in business affairs; fearful of contact, because they have mostly the contact of timidity, born of inexperience, and the idea of inferiority and uncertainty while they are learning these lessons the other races, thoroughly practiced and experienced, steal our birthright and we make an ignominious failure. Yet, even now, when the sum of our intelligence is brighter and should guide our feet with greater confidence, the greater proportion of the youths of the race are grabbing at the shadow and losing the substance. It is almost impossible to find a colored boy or girl who has the courage and stamina to start out in any sort of business and learn from the bottom to the top. Unwilling to work to stamp in the minds the necessary information which must come by personal effort, contact, and experience. Fail? Yes; there is nothing else but failure which we will meet, unless we learn our lessons in business from the bottom up. Take ninety-nine per cent of the men and women of the race who have made any appreciable success in life, and you will find that they have all passed through the school of cold, hard experience, and have learned from the bottom how to work and climb The habit of putting the boy and the girl out now to learn apprentice business is a lost art, but unless we do, the regrets will surely come, but come when it is too late to remedy the matter. Tuesday, March 3 is election day. Every good citizen should go to the polls and vote. Two commissioners are to be chosen from the four candidates in the field. Vote for the men you believe are best qualified to fill the positions. It is your privilege to vote. Don't abuse it, but USE IT. Every good citizen in Phoenix will go to the polls Tuesday. Everybody loves a winner. The question arises, who will be the winner in the Tribune's jolly word puzzle? It means a pot of gold for somebody. Who wants it? PAGE FOUR Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P. O. Box 1052, Phoenix, Arizona OUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY FIREMEN SHOW THE TWO-PLATOON PLAN IS OPPORTUNE The City Manager, in an article in the form of a letter to Mr. Dwight B. Heard, published in the Arizona Republican, and also in a long article in Dunbar's Weekly, the official organ of the City of Phoenix, while admitting in full the humanitarian side of the matter of providing a relief shift, for the firemen, and while further admitting that it would be a matter of good business for the city to have such an arrangement in the Fire Department, nevertheless claims it is a financial impossibility to provide the same, and presents a financial statement from which his conclusion or opinion is drawn. We will, therefore, proceed to analyze this statement, with a view to ascertain whether that conclusion or opinion is sound—we will take the City Manager's figures. The very first matter that attracts our attention is a matter of two items appearing under the total of $71,200, which read as follows: "Other items pending which may be authorized by the Commission: "Estimated cost of opening First street between Culver and Willetta streets, $10,000. "City's proportion of the estimated cost of the removal of the town ditch, $36,300, payable in three annual installments of $12,100." These two items alone total $22,100 for the first year, more than sufficient to cover the additional cost to provide two shifts of firemen; and since they are for matters that are not a necessity by any means, it is clear that the 2-platoon is financially feasible and that the City Manager's case falls in its entirety as a consequence, making further reply really unnecessary, but we will proceed further to an examination of the other matters brought out in the articles referred to. Our attention is directed to the fact that under the proposed 2-platoon there will be on duty for a period of 10 hours each day only 3 men to cover each piece of apparatus. Standing alone, this is important, especially in view of the report of The National Board of Fire Underwriters referred to by Mr. Foster. In this connection, we will call attention to the fact that under the present system, for a period of 9 hours every day the force is reduced to 2 men for each piece of apparatus, made necessary by meal shifts and one day a week relief. So there is no merit to this argument just as it stands. Besides, Mr. Foster is not accurate in his prelims; under the 2-platoon there will be 3 men on duty at the outside stations and 4 at the down town station in the business district to cover each piece of apparatus. Furthermore, there is a reserve corps of 23 men off duty, subject to call at the will of the Chief. As to insurance rates. From the preceding paragraph, it will be observed that the fire protection will be much greater under the 2-platoon. Consequently, it must be a factor tending to hold down insurance rates—certainly not one that will tend to raise them, as asserted. Referring to the quotations made from the Report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, we find that all the statements therein are in our favor; we do not discover that any issue is raised by them. On the other hand, it does appear from this report that the apparatus is greatly under-manned right now, and we have already shown that the introduction of the 2-platon will further man it. The report recommends the introduction of Civil Service rules and the firemen will heartily welcome this whenever it comes. The article contained in the Official Organ above referred to we found to be entitled "2-Platoon System a Hell Raiser." We have diligently analyzed it and do not discover therein anything with which the 2-platoon system will really interfere except the matters described in the items therein set out, and which have been heretofore referred to herein. During the course of our labors with the City Commission, seeking to have this ordinance passed by that body, it was stated to be our firm belief that in making up the budget next June for the following fiscal year, if the item of expense for two shifts would be placed in that budget along with the other necessary items of expense of the City for that fiscal year, it would be found that the limit of $1.00 would not be exceeded, and now so far as the statement of the City Manager discloses it appears that our opinion in that regard is wholly confirmed. The taxpayers of course are for the prudent expenditure of public moneys, but we believe that they closely recognize the distinction between a prudent and a penurious expenditure of the same. For the sake of some brevity at least, we have omitted answering the matters in the articles referred to THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING United States Veterans' Bureau Hoc pital, Tuskegee, Alabama The United States Civil Service Commission calls attention to the opportunities for appointment offered to persons who are qualified and who desire to enter the Government service at the new United States Veterans' Bureau Hospital for colored veterans, shortly to be opened at Tuskegee, Alabama, and erected on ground donated for the purpose by Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The capacity of this hospital is about 600 beds. It has been built for colored patients only, being the best of its kind in the world. It will be the policy to select colored eligibles for appointment when reached for certification in accordance with the civil-service rules. Persons who desire to apply for any of the following-named positions should immediately request full information and the appropriate application blank, addressing— The United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D.C. Graduate nurses; salaries $1680 to $2500 a year. (Chief, Assistant Chief, Head, and Staff positions.) Reconstruction aides; salaries $1710 to $2000 a year. (In Occupational therapy and Physiotherapy.) Reconstruction assistants; salaries $1400 to $1600 a year. (In Occupation therapy and Physiotherapy.) Dietitians; salaries $1680 to $2500 a year. (Chief and Staff positions.) Persons who are already eligible on registers for any of the above-named positions and who wish to be specially considered for appointment at this hospital should so inform the Commission. The following-named positions in the hospital will be filled from registers established by the District Secretary, and persons who wish to apply for them should send for full information and application blanks, addressing— The Secretary, Fifth U. S. Service Dist., Post Office, Atlanta, Ga. Physicians; General medicine and surgery, salaries up to $3250 a year. Specialists, up to $5500 a year.) Dentists; salaries $2400 to $3600 a year. Laboratorians; salaries $1680 to $2000 a year. Persons who have already qualified for any of these positions in other civil service districts may have their eligibility transferred to the Fifth District by writing to the District Secretary at Atlanta. which we believe show on their faces to be mere pretension. We submit the case upon the issues presented, both humanitarian and commercial, and ask that if there are any who may be in doubt that they resolve it in favor of the humanitarian side of the case at the election to be held on the 3rd day of April, 1923.

PHONE 3039 36 EAST WASHINGTON ST. Successor to Drs. Morrison & Blythe WASHINGTON ST. rs. Morrison & Blythe SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 WONDERS OF THE HOLY LAND By Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson President of The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. No matter in which manner approach to Palestine is made, one somehow feels that he has begun a sojourn among the most Holy of Holies, and not because of the absence of company, for there are many fellow pilgrims on the boats and trains that touch points in the Holy Land. There are merchants and traders too, from the four points of the Capital and Surplus Four Dental Specialists Satisfaction Guaranteed THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING known to be the trick that facilitates an easy and hasty entrance to the Land Where Christ Lived. Once in, you are known to all who chance to see you as a person of untold wealth. Foreigners, in spite of the thousands who visit there annually, are novelties and the natives seek to obtain a souvenir from every one they see. Jerusalem, the first point of interest I visited in Palestine, and the largest and most important city, is situated on four hills, 2,500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded on three sides by ravines, the fourth side joining one of the hills with the main range of mountains of the country. It is truly the Golden City, as may be seen by the countess golden domes, spires and minarets of a thousand and more churches, mosques and synagogues glittering and dazzling in the sunlight and the houses of white stone and rough marble silhouetted against the azure sky representing the residences and business shops of 70,000 Moslems, Jews and Christians. Scores of ill paved, crooked, narrow streets mark the paths through the city and lend their bit to the enchantment of the Holy Land. Antedating the birth of Christ, Palestine has been a hotbed of religious wars, massacres and destruction, and much that is which allures and draws one there can be said to have resulted from these wars. I n more peaceful times progress would have crept in and doubtless wiped out the history that remains. Strange enough to say, Mohammedanism is the principal religion of Palestine and its hold on the majority of the people is remarkable, and even stranger to say, their principal church, the Mosque Omar erected A.D. 691, is the most beautiful structure of its kind in the world. In Jersusalem there is to be seen the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which it is said covers the spot where Jesus Christ's body was anointed by Nicodemus and which contains the Rock Calvary, a stone with two foot prints said to be those of Christ, and the stone that was rolled away PETER H.

Then there is the Russian Excavation Church, which encloses the original gates of Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the tomb of Mary and the Chapel of Ascension on the Mount of Olives, containing a rock marked by tradition as the exact spot where Christ ascended into Heaven; there is the tomb of David on Mount Zion and the Chamber of the Lord's Last Supper; the Jew's Wailing Place, which is against the Wall of Solomon and is where the Jews go daily to cry and pray for the revelation of the burial place of the Ten Commandments. The City of Bethlehem, the home of David and the birthplace of Christ, is interesting for its Church of the Nativity, erected over the birthplace of Christ and containing the resting place of the Manger. Here also is located the Chapel of Innocence. Bethlehem represents the beginning of the history of Christ and offers splendid opportunity for first hand comparison of much relating to His early life. There is Jericho, the Promised Land of Elijahs' Fountain beside the school of the Sons of the Prophets and Bethany, which is now an entirely Moslem City, with the spot where stood the house of Simon, the leper, and where Lazarus was resurrected by Christ; and then, the dead Sea and the River of Jordan with muddy, turbulent, waters and which rises in Mount Hermon. These are by no means all the wonders of the Holy Land. There are as many more, of lesser importance, but interesting and related very directly to the more famous biblically-historical places. Palestine is wonderful, and though the least of all the lands, it is with influence that penetrates into the furthermost corner of the earth. It is not a beautiful land, but picturesque and possessing all the requisites that go to make beauty—hills and valleys, sloping plateaus and rugged shore lines, barren deserts and verdant meadows. To go there and see the wonders of the past is to receive an unequalled education, to be a master of the biblical history and to gain a more clear and comprehensive knowledge of the Christ that was and the Christianity that is. A trip to the Holy Land and full realization of much the Bible, speaks of should be aspired to by every one and most certainly by the large number of churchmen whose chosen field is service and the perpetuation of the teachings of Christ. And such a trip is not impossible. It is within your reach. A trip to Palestine, the wonderful Holy Land, free of all cost, is yours if you determine to earn it.
