The letter was a circular letter such as is sent out by the Pope to the bishops, treating of topics of general ecclesiastical interest. The object of the encyclical letter is to urgently encourage an increase in the number of native Catholic clergymen in so-called uncivilized regions of the world. The belief that dark-skinned races are inferior to the white is a mistaken one, Pope Pius declared in the message He asserted that long experience proved that these peoples, erroneously termed inferior, can compete with the white races in mental acumen. "If in the heart of barbarous lands," he writes, "there are found men who seem slow to learn, this is explainable by the conditions of their life, of which the restricted needs do not allow them to make use of their intelligence." JUST CHUCKLE UP A SMILE When you wake and find it raining, And the sky all dark with clouds, And your heart just full o' aching, And your troubles come in crowds; There's no fun in sitting whining 'Cause God's doings dont suit your style; Taint no use to sit a pining; Just you chuckle up a smile! Taint no use to frown up sadness 'Cause things just won't come your way; You can shed a heap o' gladness If you throw your grouch away. There's a heap o' satisfaction And a mighty lot o' fun In just smiling into action, And not quitting 'til you've won! So, when all things seem against you And the game don't seem worth while, Taint no use to whine and be blue; Why, just chuckle up and smile! AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF ARIZONA FACTOR IN DEVELOPING RESOURCES The work being done by the Automobile Club of Arizona in promoting the use of Arizona highways by all owners of motor vehicles is bringing about a greater diffusion of motor travel over the state. Manager Wilbur Treadwell believes that the state's greatest business assets are her wonderful climate, excellent highways and uncomparable scenery and that the principal business of the Automobile Club of Arizona is to make these great assets pay dividends.

Manager Treadwell states that as a strictly business proposition every automobile owner in the state is interested in the welfare of the club, which has proven itself a real factor in promoting the wider use of the excellent highways of the state. The Tribune wishes to state to its readers that we believe that members of our race who are in a position to do so should get in behind the Automobile Club in its efforts to develop the latest resources of Arizona for the benefit of all.

Fourth Avenue PHOENIX, ARIZONA Tiger Flowers' Climb From Obscurity Was That of a Thorobred Tiger Flowers' Climb From Obscurity Was That of a Thorobred God Fearing Parents and Good Wife Figured Prominently in Success. Is Also a Musician. "Tiger" Flowers credits his observance of the rules of careful living and big reliance on religion as the things that have counted stronger in his climb to the title of world's middleweight champion He makes it a practice to read three verses of the New Testament each morning and afternoon of his life, even when he is training he prayed a little harder than ever before his battle for the title. First Job Paid $15 Week It has been a long, hard climb for Theodore Flowers from a job of porter at $15 a week in the gymnasium of his present manager, Walk Miller to the fistic heights. He was born on August 15, 1895, at Camilla, Ga., though most of his life he has lived in the little village of Brunswick, Ga. He is the son of God-fearing parents who brought him up to shun drinking, smoking and gambling. It was in 1917 that he put on his first pair of boxing gloves. Felt the Call It was Phliadelphia Jack O'Brien who was in a way responsible. This same O'Brien happens to be the proprietor of the gymnasium where Greb always trains for his contests here and where he trains for the match that has just cost him his title. In 1917 Jack O'Brien was conducting a gym in Philadelphia. He was schooling Flowers who had been at work in the shipyards in that city, happened to drop int0 the gymnasium. "I don't know what came over me," relates Flowers, "but I found myself just itching to put on the gloves with some of those novices." So he spoke to O'Brien and the latter consented $ t_{0} $ let Flowers spar with some of the heavier pupils. He had speed and natural aptitude for all his greenness and O'Brien has some nice things to say to him on his showing. That was what started the "Tiger" off, though his wife was in a way responsible for his first professional bout. Broke His Hand It happened that a chap named Rufus Cameron was in training at the "Tiger's" home town for a contest. When Mrs. Flowers saw Cameron doing road work she just couldn't help but brag a little about what a fine boxer her husband was. "Didn't Mr. O'Brien say so himself?" A local promoter hearing of this persuaded the "Tiger" to take a try at professional fighting and in one of his earliest bouts Flowers broke his right hand. Which, incidentally, is how he came to change about to his southpaw style of fighting. Gets First "K. O." Then Walk Miller, who owned a gymnasium at Atlanta, got interested in Flowers and gave him a job as porter and started him off fighting in earnest. He had sixteen bouts in 1921 and one of the men he met practically in his first year was Panama Joe Gans, a Negro champion, who was far too experienced an opponent and Flowers was knocked out in five rounds. Later on he bested Gans. In 1922 Flowers had a busy year and was forced to give away weight in many of his battles. He lost on a technicality $ t_{0} $ Jamaica Kid and was stopped by Kid Norfolk and Lee Anderson. Later on he boxed Norfolk to a draw. Make N. Y. Debut Flowers made his debut in New York about two years ago at the Commonwealth club and finally broke into a bout in the old Garden, where he won over Johnny Wilson, the ex-champion of the middleweights stopping him in sensational style. Year before last came his first meeting with Harry Greb Page Eleven and he won over the champion by a big margin in a no-decision contest. Then came the bouts with Jack Delaney. Flowers seems made to order for Delaney, but despite the quick knockouts suffered in these contests, Flowers was in no whit discouraged. These were the only defeats he has suffered in the last three years. Has Good Habits Despite the lack of early advantages Flowers has learned to play both the violin and saxophone and his greatest pleasure in life is when he and Billy, as he calls his wife, can entertain their friends. Mrs. Flowers plays the piano and they can spill plenty of harmony. Flowers is now well fixed financially. The first $15 he made from fighting is still in the bank and he has managed to save over 80 per cent of his ring earnings. He owns considerable property in Atlanta, Ga. He has only one regret in connection with his ring career. His mother has never quite become reconciled $ t_{0} $ his fighting. For a long time she never referred to his work in the ring. There's nothing else about her boy she need be ashamed of, say those who know Theodore Flowers best And now that he is a champion, maybe his mother will be just a little bit proud of his profession. They call them "wings' on airplanes but no aviator wants to see them flap.

In a monarchy the people say, "God save the king." In a republic it is "God pity the country." 'A friend in need" is usually a needy friend who wants to borrow a dollar. Page Thirteen WILLS, NOT TUNNEY, HELD LOGICAL DEMPSEY RIVAL NEW YORK — James A. Farley, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, said after a meeting of the commission, Friday afternoon that Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight, is still regarded by the commission as the leading challenger to Jack Dempsey's title. Farley denied that Wills has incurred the ill-will of the commission by signing with Dempsey last summer at Niles, Mich. The commission denied any knowledge of any steps towards promoting a title bout between the champion and Gene Tunney. The fellow who doesn't care what other people think might find more consolation in wondering whether they think.

TEXAS YOUTH IS SLAIN ON WAY TO HIS TRIAL ORANGE, Tex.—Frank Wilkes, colored, who was likely to be freed of a charge of murder for which he was under a death sentence, was shot to death by white officers last week while being taken to Newton for trial. Although the officers declared they shot their prisoner when he attempted to escape, he wore handcuffs when his lifeless body was brought PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING here. Wilkes shot three white men to death. He pleaded self defense but he was found guilty of the slayings on three counts, two of which were reversed. It was thought that fear that he would be freed might have prompted the whites to slay him. The slain man was buried from his home at Houston, Thursday, by his aunt, Mrs. Hettie Wilkes.

SMITH, MANAGING EDITOR Advertising Rates on Application Subscription, per year.....$2.50 MATTHEW P. PATTERSON CORPORATION CORPORATION CORPORATION GROWING, THANK YOU! With this issue the Tribune enters its ninth year of continuous publication in Phoenix. During the eight years this paper has been in the journalistic field, it has grown in circulation and prestige throughout Arizona and the Southwest, and at this time has probably the largest paid circulation of any journal of the kind in the entire Southwest. The Tribune is the people's paper. Every town, village and hamlet in Arizona where members of the race reside, the Tribune has found its way and these people consider it as their paper. It is representative of our group—not in a factional sense, but in the fact that its columns are devoted primarily to their interests and is ever ready to serve its readers in any capacity which the opportunity affords. The Tribune has been under the present owenrship ever since it was established, and we are indeed grateful for the splendid support and cooperation extended by our readers and advertisers. In the beginning, we announced that we should endeavor to conduct the Tribune as a clean, conservative and reliable journal, and to this policy we have religiously adhered. The Tribune is here to help build up Phoenix, the Salt River Valley and all Arizona, is not the "organ" of any group or faction, but believes in a square deal for all concerned. During the next year, our aim is to give you a periodical far superior to anything we have ever produced. When a person subscribes for a periodical, or places advertising with it, value received for the money expended is to be expected, The Tribune will endeabor to meet these requirements, and solicits your support and patronage on no other basis. PROGRESSIVENESS The proposal to pave Jefferson street from Ninth to Fourteenth street offers the property owners on PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING this thoroughfare an opportunity to make this one of the high class residence sections of Phoenix..... With the coming of the Southern Pacific main line which will be completed in a few months, and the additional population it will bring, property values in this section of Phoenix will increase in value very rapidly, and those who own property on paved streets will be beseiged with buyers who will offer fabulous prices for their holdings. Those who do not wish to sell will have the satisfaction of knowing that they own some of the most desirable property in Phoenix. Jefferson, Washington, Van Buren and Central avenue are the main thoroughfares of Phoenix, and with the paving of Jefferson street it is destined to become the most popular of the four. Thoughtful property owners along this thoroughfare are heartily in accord with the movement to pave this street.

E. church on March 26th, was a "Howling" success. All the actors and actresses starred, as it was billed as an all star cast. The play was a scream from start to finish and proved a sure cure for the blues. The most laugh provoking "stunt" in our opinion, was the old-time backwoods sermon by Mr. Ed Lewis. It was so realistic. All the acting was good and each number deserves special mention. The junior stewardesses are to be commended for their splendid efforts and we are sure they will be called upon to play a return engagement Mrs. M. H. Hagler is president of the junior stewardesses and Mrs. E. Temple Corliss, secretary.

Easter Greetings from At the Biggest Little Store in Town First Avenue at Monroe Page Six Colored Man Opens First Class Thirst Parlor and Confectionery Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dickson, recent arrivals from Houston, Texas, have purchased the fixtures of the Paolina confectionery and soft drink emporium at 232 East Washington street, and will open for businesses sin a few days. This place is one of the best equipped thirst parlors in Phoenix, the fixtures all are of the latest design and the most expensive type obtainable. Mr. Dickson spent nineteen years in Mexico City, where he conducted a flourishing and successful business. Selling out his interest there, he came to Houston, Texas two years ago and bought half interest in one of the leading drug stores in that city. Hearing of Phoenix and the wonderful opportunities offered for investment, he made a visit, and before he was here 48 hours had closed the deal for the purchase of Paolina's refreshment parlor. Mr. Dickson said the place will be conducted in a high class manner and you don't have to buy something to be made welcome. He plans to make it a mecca for our people, where the ladies of the race may come in and rest, have a cold drink, dish of ice cream, sandwich, or enjoy a light lunch. Experienced colored girl waitresses wil be employed to serve you, and he wants you to feel at home in his place. His many years experience in dealing with the public fits him to conduct just such place as this for the people of Phoenix. Popular prices will prevail, as Mr. Dickson said he is not here for a few weeks or a few months, but to remain permanently. He has taken a long lease on the building and will cater to the public. Meet your friends at Dickson's, where everybody goes. The grand opening will be held March 30. Cancel your other engagements so you can be there. They plan to open in grand style and invite all the people of Phoenix to attend the grand opening. It will be something worthwhile. Let's go! In peace we have the right to sue and be sued: in war, the right to kill and be killed. Some of us haven't seen much of either. There's nothing like being prepared: ask the next ragged urchin you see to be sure to save you a job when he becomes president. PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Military Funeral is Given Percy A.

Mr. Pennie, an exservice man, had been in failing health for some time, but was not considered in a serious condition, nor was he confined to his bed until only a short time before his death. He was attended by Dr. Chas. Sult and all that medical skill could do to restore him to health was done by this eminent physician. Percy A. Pennie was born March 26, 1888, in Chattanooga, Tenn. He married Miss Frances Dixon, January 23, 1917, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and later moved to Phoenix where they have resided. He spent six years in the Philippine Islands as a member of the 25th Infantry, and at the outbreak of the World War, enlisted and served with the A. E. F. in France.
