MISS BOWLES OPPORTUNITY MAKES GOOD FOR NEGROES VOL. 6 TRUE MISS BOWLES MAKES GOOD Gets in the Lime Light by Her Work. MERIT AND WORK WILL WIN Merit and I hard work won high position for Miss Eva D. Bowles head of the Y. M. C. A. work among Colored women in this country. After a quiet, unselfish struggle of years she has been recognized. Colonel Rosevelt has drawn general attention to her. When making provisions for the distribution of his $40,000 Noble Prize Fund, $4000 of which he directed should go to the Y. W. C. A. work among Colored women, he said: "I have asked that Miss Eva Bowles be consulted in the disbursement of this item. My wife and I were very much struck by the work of Miss Bowles in connection with the Colored Hostess House for Colored troops and in the work among Colored women and girls in and about the camps and cantonements." For several years Miss Bowles has been doing a wonderful work among Colored women, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and that too, almost single handed. To-day, from her office she directs the Y. W. C. A. work among Colored women in the whole country, having some eighty Colored women staff workers under her supervision. Always shrinking from publicity, the work of this young woman, a native of Columbus Ohio, and a product of the city's public schools, had been little known outside of her own sphere of action until Colonel Rosevelt, as he has done with many worthies, threw the spotlight on her. Miss Bowles received her first training as a social worker with the Associated Charities in her native city, Columbus. Her work there attracted the attention of the Y. W. C. A. officials and they brought her to this city for a wider field of usefulness. To-day she is perhaps the most effective and at the same time, noiseless worker, among Colored women in this country. The work of the Y. W. C. A. among Colored women began some time ago and has grown rapidly. The war has made it a big social factor, giving it a place along side of the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross and this strong woman has contributed much to make it what it is today—one of the very big factors. Around the National Board here she is greatly admired by all—the splendid white women has placed a high value on her efforts, earnestness and has done and what she has become, every Colored girl in the country can become. Merit and hard work will make you a strong, successful, happy woman. AGAIN, A COLORED MAN LEADS Prof. F. A. Johnson of Tullahassee, Oklahoma, recently took examination for mail clerk and was the only Colored man of the 36 applicants. It is reported that Prof. Johnson made the highest marks of all those who took the examination at that time and is therefore first on the register. Prof Johnson is one of the prominent race educators of the state and has done much for the uplift of his people.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. Newkirk Photo Tulsa Ohla The above is the likeness of Rev. Father W. S. J. Challoughlezilezize, F. R. S. S., S. Ph. B. D. D., L. L. D., F. R. S. S. C. B. Universities of Europe, Oxford, Cambridge and Athens, Priest of the Church of Christ of East Africa, who was in Tulsa last week. He delivered two lectures here to large congregations who expressed themselves as having learned many new things about the origin of the Negro Race, and also of Abyssinia, the home of the Priest. He spent quite a while at the Star Office, and while there, gave out the following information. The Population of Abyssinia is about 42,000,000, their present Military force now is 5,000,000, with a standing army of 2,500,000. Every male citizen in Abyssinia is compelled to take military training, beginning at the age of 13 years. They have been victorious in officers' training school, or to a vocational training school, or will be transferred to a cantonment for duty as a private. Under this tar-reaching system, young men will be given an opportunity to continue their education while receiving military training and will have the advantage of a skilful preparation before entering upon their duties in the field. The schools selected in the collegiate section, and where units of the Student Army Training Corps have been already authorized under the new law, are: Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa.; Fisk University, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta University and oMrehouse College (combined), Atlanta, aG.; Wiley University and Bishop College (combined), Marshall, Texas; Talladega College, Alabama, Virginia Union University, Richmond, Virginia, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O. In the oVcational Section of the Student Army Training Corps, the schools so far selected, in which military training is given in connec- every war wagged. He gave the names of the following: The Zulus, in 1878, the Kaifer tribe in 1881, European Powers, 1889-1900. King Minneck, Uncle of the Priest was crowned in 1889. In a Peace Treaty between Spain and Portugal, They relinquished their claims to Uqada of which Mozambique is the capital. Their principal Industries are similar to those of America. The Priest said that he was an Envoy from his country to America, sent here to study the Socialological conditions of the Negro, and to make his report to their government every three months and to our government every month. He left Saturday for Oklahoma City, hopes to return to Tulsa soon. tion with the regular courses in technical and mechanical subjects are Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial Institute, Hampton, Virginia. Other applications are now receiving favorable consideration. The wisdom of taking advantage of these golden opportunities by young Colored men will be seen at a glance, and it is expected that this opportunity to continue their education coupled with thorough military training, will be accepted most readily by them. It will mean that the enrollment at the representative schools named herein will be largely augmented during the coming terms, resulting in a richer field for their life's activities, an improved morale for the Colored American people as a whole, and above all an opportunity for service in this great national emergency. THE best way to fight "Jim Crow" is to boycott the fellow who tries to stick it down your throat. You can do much to kill the nasty crow if you will thing and act, see? Negro and the Stage CHICAGO STAGE REVIEW TRIBLY AT THE AVENUE THEATRE Jennrice E. Muse. Bountiful in Art As Evangelia (By Sylvester Russell) When Du Maurier, the French novelist wrote "Trilby'y" he had in mind the power of ultra emotion with all its strange superlative traits to transfer to Paul Porter, a talented playwright who dramatized the book into a play by placing all its trust in Evengalia, that ghostly counter-post of mans brain-master of supremacy and to weld the way he had to be light human material in the weaker sex to flounder out the easy mark in the virtue of hypnotism. "Trilby" who created a sensation several years ago in New York City, was the girl in the play of acts in which the Lafayette players of the Quality Amusement Corporation assayed on last Monday evening September 23rd. The first act in a studio, in the Latin Quarter of Paris was the discovery of "Trilby" a most respectable Artist model idolized by highly moral suitors and hypnotized by one Evengalia who had mesmerized the girl by having her look into the white of the eye. He an eccentric hypnotic music master, adored the voice of Trilby and resolved to make her a great singer. But she loved little Billy, the son of Rev, and Mrs. Bagot, who abhored their marriage. She was also loved by Tally, a ragged fellow, and also to her was a hungry spider. In the second act the wedding march entree in military regalia was a merry scene of entertainment until the minister and his wife entered in search of their son, Little Billy Gecho, a Greek violinist, was another Artist desperately in love with Trilby who afterwards became Evangelia's servant, so as to see her unconscious of the strange magic spell which besought her. The 3rd, act in the Cirque foyer, five years later, still under the spell, Trilby reveals her persecution, when Evangalia exclaimed, "Is this Madness? He commands her to write a farewell letter, leaving pains forever, amid the outer feelings of Sabbath chimes. He hears a knock and bids his sevant to take her away. She makes her debut in a scene where the music master conducts. Later he is strangled by Taffy. His pranks had caused men to hate him. His strength fails and he sinks to his death, head down, back across the table. In the fourth and last act, men kissed Trilby's hand and on their departure the picture of Evangelia, seen on the wall, suddenly bewildered her shattered frame. Life grew dark and she swooned to her death on the sofa. Clearance E. Muse was bountifully in his well disguised tation and in his eyes glared to a stare which excused his finger movements, but his mastership of false impression, was real Art. When he hypnotised Trilby with overtures of bidding and she varnished in the door of an adjoining room, the audience which was spell boud, applauded. Muse's character was well made up and aggreeably surprises. Cleo Desmond who was a Trilby in all WIN! and Stage but a model form, was sweet and tender in grace and beauty of feature. The song of "Ben Bolt" under the hypnotic power of music master, was sang and acted in vocal splender unsurpassed. In the last act, Miss Desmond wore a Swiss gown, shaded in green with lace embroidered arms, and her final scene or the last act, was Melo-Dramatic perfection. Andrew S. Bishop was good in a domesticated character and his love scene with a sneezing spell brought humor Charles H. Moore in a character of rough syllables and agruff galore, was acceptable. H. L. Pryor as the violinist and later a servant, was a picture to look upon as an actor whose work made a deep impression. Arthur T. Bay was a most realistic riffenman and his work as usual was all that could be desired. Elizabeth Williams as a French madam was also decidedly talented in her work, especially in the last acts, and looked charming. Lillian Gillam was good in a child part, and danced artistically in the foyer scent. James C. Stith had a good part to gratify the loudness of his voice. Walter Robinson as a minister was seen in a better advantage than on any occasion since the opening night, and Carlotta Freeman was highly capable. Iva Hubbard, a new actress made a good impression in a small part. Arthur Simmons, as Little Billy, was fair but liked in warmth of passion. J. L. Criner also made a fair impression and his personality and good reading qualities should soon make him, a capable actor. Next week, "Under Cover" another good standard drama, will be presented. At The Grand Theatre Davis S. Walker and Andrew Tribble, headed the bill at this house. Martin and Gray also appeared. The white acts were Krayona and Company and the "Avarettes." The last half of last week had Robinson and McCarver and Harry Fiddler. The white acts were Tates Motoring Nell Elsing etc., and the musical De Witts. At The Monogram. Allen Stokes, Willie Too Sweet, Grant and Perkins and The Arrants, complete the bill States Movie Theatre Francis Ford in "Berlin Via America" was the BIG announced picture for September 28-29.

Hayman are now Booking for the Western Vaudeville Association. All big time acts only, both Colored and white, will be seen. Anita Patti Brown sings at Quinn Chapel Tuesday October 1st.

Ford of Dewey was given a clean slate today inanattempt to oust him from office for failure to protect the property if Negroes in Dewey following the killing of town marshal and destruction of homes of Colored citizens. Judge Chas. B. Wilson of Chandler, special judge bearing the evidence, decided following the testimony of state's witnesses that the state had made no case. The case created a great deal of interest in Washington county, and to Mayor Ford's friends, his exoneration was of particular satisfaction. They had regarded him as being decidedly zealous in handling the situation in Dewey during the riot, and felt that the case against him had ended in justice to him and the situation there.

THE MOB FEWER more timely words have been spoken of late than those of which Mr. Wilson forced upon our attention the growing peril of mot spirit. Europe is finding it hard to reconcile the wild savage outbreaks in the United States where law is trampled under foot, with our proud claims of making the world safe against the might of brutal force. Not only have the lynchcing of our Colored citizens nearly doubled during the six months in 1918 as compared with the same six months in 1917, but the mob spirit, rapidly spreading, is presumming to dictate wherever the occasion arises, how those who may have antagonized it shall shall think and what they shall say. We are reaping what we have sown. Too long we have tolerated this spirit. War has naturally inflamed it, and widened its fatal power.—Our Dumb Animal.
