Calvin Chase Received Enthusiastic Applause at Both Meetings—Another Monster Meeting at the Metropolitan Methodist Church Next Monday Evening, May 5. If there is any doubt about the sincerity, enthusiasm and determination of the people, the meetings in the Zion Methodist Church, D street between Second and Third streets, Rev. J. H. Collis, pastor, banished it long before the hour to assemble. Both the upper and lower auditoriums of this church were filled with the best type of citizenship last Tuesday evening. Hundreds of ladies in their best attire, as well as mothers and fathers of children who attend the public schools, were present to give their support and encouragement to the Parents' League. The wave of indignation continues to flow, and more determined have the people become to inaugurate reforms in the colored public schools. The meeting in the main auditorium was called to order by the president of the Parents' League, Mrs. Tanner, who was greeted with tremendous applause. Judge E. M. Hewlett, of counsel for the league, read several commendable letters from organizations and other well-known citizens commending the work of the organization. Many speeches were made at both meetings by Rev. J. H. Collis, E. M. Hewlett; Charles Hill, Geo. C. Smith, Rev. C. M. Tanner, Milton J. Waldron, Dr. Turpean, Editor W. Calvin Chase and others. One of the speakers declared that he thought that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was really the organization it purported to be, but he is convinced that instead it is an association for the advancement of certain people. Rev. Waldron wanted to know why so many people were uneasy about the Parents' League. Attorney Hill made a strong speech, which was enthusiastically applauded. Attorney John H. Wilson was introduced and made a strong plea for the people. A strong resolution was read from the Columbia Aid Association, one of the strongest benevolent organizations in the city, with a contribution of $10. Rev. Turpeau said that he had received several threatening letters. "But." declared the distinguished preacher. "what do I care for threatening letters or those who send them?" Attorney R. R. Horner, one of the associate attorneys of the Parents' League, delivered one of the strongest speeches of the evening. He was applauded throughout the delivery of his speech. He said, among other things, that the eight years that he had been on the Board of Education he was convinced that Bruce was not the right man. Dr. Waldron said that it was stated the white people would keep Bruce in and that the Parents' League would die. Do these people think that the white people can keep this man in school and that the league will die? Attorney Charles S. Hill stated that any pastor who would read that letter purporting to have come from the United States Attorney's Office, was no friend of his people. No citizen received greater recognition from the people than Editor W. Calvin Chase. Every speaker commended The Dee. It was decided by the league to picket the Franklin School Building next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The speech of Geo. C. Smith was one of the principal addresses of the evening. Mr. Rufus G. Byars, formerly the affable manager at the Howard Theatre, after many years of successful service to the house and the public at this popular theatre, has taken advantage of an opportunity to launch into the theatre business. Mr. Raymond H. Murray, proprietor of the Foraker and Hiawatha Theatres, having been compelled to leave the city in the search of good health, afforded the opportunity for Mr. Byars to take the management of these houses and in addition thereto to acquire an interest in them. Mr. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Byars plans, as his first move to give the public better service, the enlargement and improvement of the Hiawatha Theatre, the pioneer picture house among us. We were pleased, too, to learn that already, plans and details are being worked out to erect in the most convenient and popular section of the city a large and beautiful and modernly equipped theatre, with a seating capacity of about 1,500. We await more definite details of this big project with keen interest. With his past success, his pleasing manner and his personal ambition, we are sure of the success of Mr. Byars in his new field. Richard W. Austin, of Knoxville, Tenn., and a former member of Congress, from that state, died at his home, 1726 Twenty-first street, last week. He was one of the most brilliant representatives from the South and a man of national reputation. He was a great friend of the late Mark Hanna, and at the time of his death he was the law partner of Representative Ben Humphries, of Mississippi. He was born in Alabama. His body was carried to Knoxville, Penn, where it will be buried. The colored citizens will hold national exercises next month, and the principal address will be delivered by Mr. Joseph M. Trier, who was close friend of Mr. Austin.

Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The president of the Board of Education has authorized me to release the press the enclosed copy of a communication recently sent out. Very truly yours. E. L. Thurston. Superintendent of Schools. The Bee declines to publish the communication, for the reason that the Board of Education has not investigated the Moens case and neither has the Board of Education stated who gave Moens authority to, go through our public schools and take pictures of pupils and teachers. Mr. Peyton stated to The Bee that the Board of Education did not give Moen's authority. The Bee wants to know who did and why were not those married women of whom nude pictures were taken included in the letter from the United States Attorney's office? Why were some shielded and some others exposed? The Parents' League is making an investigation of its own and will report its findings at the proper time.—Editor of The Bee. Rev. G. C. Johnson, Dead A Well-Known and Distinguished Minister Passes Away. Paster of Cedar Creek, Baptist Church and Father of Rev. E. T. Johnson, of Dudley Baptist Church, Martinburg, W. Va.—Resolutions in Commemoration of his Death—A Great Turnout of the People and Citizens, White and Colored. Lunenburg County, Va. April 25.— Ivey, C. C. Johnson, pastor of the Cotar Creek Baptist Church of this county, died April 14, 1919, in the eightieth year of his age. He was a remarkable man, beloved by all who KARIM BAKRON THE LATE REV. C. C. JOHNSON knew him, as the following statements and resolutions testify. Statement From Mt. Gerizim Baptist Church, Nottoway County. Rev. C. C. Johnson served us, our pastor 27 years. He served faithfully, and in all those years he never appointed us without due notice. He was as prompt as a clock, and by example as well as by word, he taught punctuality. He was beloved by all, both white and colored, in the community and a welcome visitor in our homes. I have been a member of this church for forty years and a design for thirty, and through his instruction I have made the office a study. I am able to say. As a pastor very few if any can excel him. He preached with spiritual power and force not only by words but by deeds. I am unable to express what influence and real good were wielded by this good man. The lasting impression for good and spiritual uplift in this community exerted by his noble life will never be forgotten. We are praying and preparing when this life's warfare is closed to meet him again where parting shall be no more. Rev. E. T. Johnson, Martinsburg, W. Va. Martin'sburg, W. Va. Tonit: It is a great pleasure to me to state what a faithful slave, neighbor and friend your father has been to us. Just one month ago he came to see Ned. Ned is now an invalid, and they both shed tears together, believing each had but a few days before they would have to answer the Master's call, for which both were ready. They will not be separated long. Ned remains in bed; can't even sit up. That is the reason we were not at the funeral. Your father was truly an upright Christian man, beloved by both white and colored. I didn't know that you knew that he was a body awaitant for Ned and Brother Tommie. Clabe was certainly a great leader among his people. Ned and Tom taught him to read and write. The family has our sympathy. Resolutions of the Cedar Creek Baptist Church, Lunenburg County, Virginia. The grim monster, Death, has again visited our church and removed from us our organizer and pastor in the person of Rev. C. C. Johnson, who departed this life on April 14, 1919, in the eightieth year of his age. He was a most remarkable character, always standing for truth and righteousness, ever lifting up Christ before the people. He not only stood for religious advancement, but also financial and social status, having pastored five J. B. H. MRS. C. C. JOHNSON The Faithful Wife of Rev. C. C. Johnson and Mother of Rev. E. T. Johnson of Martinsburg, West Virginia. church, as follows: Cedar Creek, for 27 years; Friendship, 40 years; and 7 months; Mt. Garozin, 27 years; Spring Hill, 27 years; Flat Rock, 11 years. In each of these communities, he urged upon his people the importance of saving their money, purchasing theirselves a home, and having a pure social standing. For nearly 28 years, he stood on the battle front and fought, under the blood-stained banner of King Emmanuel, but the other day he fell, having failed his course and kept the faith. Therefore, he went not as a coward, but he wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and lay down to pleasant dreams. Cedar Creek Church, which owes J. her beginning to his earnest efforts, is one of the best country churches in the county, and she will stand through the ages as a monument to the zeal and courage of this great man.

Therefore Be it resolved, That we deeply mourn his demise, and in our lives and consciences will realize, from time to time, his true, unspotted life and Christian piety. We shall point to him as worthy of emulation in the private, public and religious life of the county, as a man whose words were backed up by deeds. Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well, and ever strive to emulate the good examples he set forth while with us; living with the hope that we shall see him again in the Great Beyond, where there is no parting nor shedding of tears. Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be safely kept in the archives of the church, a copy sent to his bereaved family, and that a suitable time be set for holding a public memorial in his honor. We will miss you, pastor dear— Miss your voice and tender care. Our hearts will always sadden When we see your vacant chair. The flowers we laid upon your grave May wither and decay; But fresh and green your memory Within our hearts sliall lay. J. H. Jackson. E. V. Clark. From the Mayor of Blackstone. To the Public: I have known Rev. C. C. Johnson for thirty years, as a fine Christian gentleman, pastor and leader among his people, and not a better citizen ever lived. He was one of the best known colored men in Southside Virginia by both white and colored. He was honest, truthful, sober and industrious, and, too, I want to add that he was a champion for the temperance cause. The white people, as well as his people, sustain a great loss in the death of such a great man. Yours truly, George P. Adams, Mayor of Blackstone. (Continued to page 6.) THE SERVANT GIRLS. They Defend Their Honor and Reputation. Editor of The Bee: After reading your statement in The Bee, it pleased me very much. You spoke in behalf of the servant girls. As we are servant girls and that statement referred to us, we are here to say that no servant girl would think of doing such disgraceful things as are charged against those who are connected with this Moens case. I do hope you will read this letter carefully and publish it, so that the world may know and see that the servant girls are the best, after all. I am also glad that some of the wrong ones have been found out. Very respectfully, Misses Ella, Anna and Sarah Sims. 1021 Second street southeast, Washington, D. C. April 29, 1919. MT. NEBO BAPTIST CHURCH. Prof. John G. Wyche, addressed the Mt. Nebo Baptist Sunday School last Sabbath morning, April 27. Rev. Augustus Lewis introduced the speaker. The address was very interesting and instructive, and the school wishes him an early return. Have. The Bee mailed to your adshall dress if you want to know the news. (Continued from first page.) Rev. C. C. Johnson had been pastor of this church ever since October 15, 1878—a period of forty years and five months to the date of his death, which occurred April 14, 1919. He was a pastor and leader whom everyone loved and honored. the white people of this section as well as his vast host of colored friends and followers. The Friendship Baptist Church was organized in 1876 with 32 members. Its first pastor was Rev. J. E. Branch of Petersburg, who remained but a short while; following him Rev. Leach supervised the church for a few months, leaving the work in charge, of Rev. Ghappèle, a licentiate. Then the church called the young man, Rev. C. C. Johnson, who, has been the beloved pastor through all these years. During his pastorial charge he has baptized and added to the church over five hundred members. It will be very hard for the church to fill his place. Nevertheless the church bows in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. He was a man who cared little for a salary; in fact, so often has he said, "I am not preaching for money; money is not my object, but the saving of souls." And the Lord certainly blessed this great man. Truly it was said, "A great man has fallen." He left a spacious farm, and I believe at his death he was a director in one of the largest white banks of this section. In the words of another, "He could look the world squarely in the face, because he owed not a single man." It has been already suggested that in the near future a monument be erected to his memory. Now, we pray that the Spirit of God may rest upon the family and upon the churches of which he was pastor. We are going to miss him for years to come; and time will not erase him from our minds. Nours in Christ. R. E. Morse. Associate Pastor. A Brief Testimony From Spring Hill Spring Hill Baptist Church. Nottoway County, Va. Notloway County, Va. Rev. C. C. Johnson departed this life April 14, in the year of our Lord 1919. He was our pastor 27 years, and in all these years proved himself faithful to his duties. He did a great work towards winning souls to Christ. During his years with us he baptized and added to the church 560 new members. The church loved him and feels keenly the loss of such a shepherd; yet we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. Sleep on, dear pastor; we hope to meet you again. Geo. Walker. Rev, E. T. Johnson, Pastor of Dudley Baptist Church, Martinsburg, W. Va. The Lord has been talking to me so plainly for the past two years that seemingly I could hear his voice. I was sitting in my study poring over my discourse for the following Sunday, when just back of me came almost an audible, whisper: "Your father wants to see you," for I was in prayer just a few minutes past, asking God to teach me what to say, evoking a blessing upon my church and people, never ending without a thought of my father and mother, nor can I recall the day when I have gotten tip off of my knees without asking God to bless them; and even now I find myself asking God's blessing upon father. The whispering voice had scarcely died away when came, the postman bringing two very important letters—one from father, the other a most cordial and hurried invitation to come to Roanoke on the first Sunday to preach, which invitation I accepted. Leaving Roanoke Monday morning early, after taking a most pleasant leave of Prof. Gilfillan and his very cultured wife, I arrived home about 12 o'clock to find my father sitting in his room with his feet resting on a chair, which posture seemed to give him ease. "How do you do, Pa?" "Well, Tom, just so so. My work is ended; I am resigning my churches." During my stay—part of three days—he seemed quite cheerful, challenging me from time to time on Biblical questions. I bade him, good-bye, receiving from him, as I have always on leaving home, admonition "to live right at all cost and serve, unfalteringly, the Lord." I came to Blackstone, where I was slated, to preach, on Wednesday night. This is my old home, you will recall, where I spent many anxious years as principal of the Harmony High and Industrial School. I was in quite a hurry to get back to Martinsburg, where previous arrangements had been made for Miss Demby's concert on Friday night and for Dr. W. A. Taylor's His Schooling. Directly after the war, when the but at the time of his death he was colored man was an object of pity, pastor of three, including his home his condition attracted the notice of church, which he had pastored about a northern philanthropist, one Mr. 48 years, building it up from a small Thines, who came with a box of all mission to one of the most statey kind of primers and first readers, as country churches in the state.

Then training to troop the ground the (pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist, Washington, D. C.) coming on Sunday night; and just as truly as predicted as well as expected, never such a crowd since my tenure packed the main auditorium and gallery of Dudley Baptist Church. Monday following, the telegram came, telling me that father had crossed the Great Divide. He was a good father and a far-sighted man. I have never seen him idle, for even when sick his mind was at work, bursting forth when in his presence with plans for the future betterment of either church or home. He was a friend to education. In our home may be seen diplomas from the following institutions: Harmony High and Industrial School; V. N. and C. I., Petersburg, Va.; Union University, Richmond, Va.; and Avery College and Howard University. Rev. C. C. Johnson. A Sketch of the Life and Work of the Late Rev. C. C. Johnson, D. D., of Blackstone, Va. Rev. C. C. Johnson was born a slave 80 years ago on the palatial farm of the Madduxes, was houseboy in that family at the outbreak of the Civil War. His young master taught him to read and to write a little, for whom he was a constant companion, accompanying him wherever he went, even in play, when boys together, and after they had grown up, on protracted visits to other cities and towns. When the call for volunteers was issued by President Davis, to which his young master, John Maddux, responded, Clabe, as he was called, had to accompany him to the bloody battlefields. And, I believe, it was in the keen, fierce and bloody struggle in and about Petersburg where his young master fell. Remaining by his side to the end, he fled from the scene, walking a distance of 50 miles overnight to break the sad news to a prostrate mother. And singular to note, except when in school, Rev. Johnson has never lived out of calling distance of the Madduxes. He loved them, and from the many friendly turns rendered, it has been clearly shown that the young Madduxes as well as the old really loved Uncle Clabe. His Schooling. Directly after the war, when the colored man was an object of pity, his condition attracted the notice of a northern philanthropist, one Mr. Thines, who came with a box of all kind of primers and first readers, as well as bringing a number of Bibles and Testaments, and stopped at young Johnson's house, for it must be told right here that he had married a very amiable young woman, of lissie Ann Brown, whose parents be lended to the Hakins, Henriettia and Richard Brown, her parents moved early out West and later located permanently in Chicago, where they bought and owned their own home and educated their children. Very recently they died, leaving a host of grandchildren, two daughters to of which are now in the senior nurse training class, Howard University. The subject of the sketch had been called to the gospel ministry at the time of Mr. Thines' visit and was then trying to preach the gospel the est he knew how. As a witness to this statement, one of his sons, who in that occasion had just begun to say his A. B. C's, and who is now pastor of a large baptist church in the West, says: "When Mr. Thines, and I believe he was a preacher and a missionary, opened his box of books, including skates, hand clocks, Bible and Testaments, talking to father all the while in a most friendly and brotherly way, though a small boy, my heart was won for the cause of Christ and education. Rev. Thines asked father in many ways educationally; also made it possible for father to attend some three or four years an institute, which he had already established somewhere near Mehogin. The institution still exists and has done a lasting work for the gospel ministry among the colored people. Father left us on a small farm which he had bought; for he was an economical man, and often I have heard him say: "I was working hard and putting in overtime and saving up my money with which to buy my freedom, when the close of the war saved me the expense." Mother, God bless her! She managed that little farm like a man, while brother and I, though quite young, caught the inspiration of father's call to preparation, aided all we could. Many times during those dark days have I suddenly come upon my mother, who looked down upon me through great big blinding tears; and it was on my account, I have, lived long enough to learn, that my father didn't remain to the close of the school year, at which time he would have graduated.

Amidst my tumbling and delirious condition, I had just dozed a while, when I opened my eyes and there he sat by my bedside. "Tom, Tom!" Wars may come and get changes and upheavals everywhere, but I shall never forget to my dying day that expression of love and care beaming in his fatherly eyes. He was back to his wife he was back to his children; he was back to his small charge that he left for nearly four years to fit himself to do better work. And that was 43 years ago." Just two Sundays before he died he stood in the new church on the same old site, and though old and feeble broken in health, yet vigorous in mind, he preached, not to his old comrades, not to his old friends and acquaintances, but to their children. Taught School. Rev. D. F. Leech followed Rev. Thines, with money and material with which to establish parochial schools. One in Lumenburg and one in Brunswick; later one in Mecklenburg. Rev. C. C. Johnson was appointed supervisor of the three and teacher of the one in Brunswick, which school he taught successfully until the public schools came, after which he taught public school for several years, resigning because of the demand upon his time by the churches and associations. It was in that parochial school that many young men and women caught an inspiration of a new life among the race. Numerous teachers have sprung up who lay claim or rather give the little school on the red hill of Brunswick credit. There was a motto placed over the door and outside, which could be read clearly from a great distance, and it ran thus: "Whatever man has done, men may do." The colored people had begun to feel that they were identified with that appellation "man." We can't begin to count the preachers who owe their first training to the little school on the hill in Brunswick County, and those coming under the direct or indirect influence of the chain of schools established by Rev. Leech and supervised by Rev. C. C. Johnson. His Contribution to Institutions. He pastored successfully for several years three to four churches, but at the time of his death he was pastor of three, including his home church, which he had pastored about 48 years, building it up from a small mission to one of the most state's country churches in the state. He had the pleasure of watching the church grow from the small number of about seven members to more than 1,500, and he lived to see every one of his children baptized and members of the home church.

Congress has promised an investigation of the colored public schools and who gave "Prol." Moens authority to take nude pictures of pupils and teachers. Although it was testified in court that he obtained his authority from the Board of Education, only one member, Mr. Fountain Peyton, has denied it. The board has met, and no denial was made by that august body. The resignation of Miss Charlotte Hunters from the public schools will not, for the action of the people, there no reason to suppress the names of those who did not testify. Here has been too much of the color chamber business already. Now, there were several married women, doctors and lawyers, wives and daughters, who poed and whose nude pictures are in the possession of the government and were not exhibited at the time. I don't see why these picture and persons are not exposed to public view. Why should there be, however, valour women be screened? There is a minister in the city interested in a female who left the city some time ago. Nothing but an investigation will disclose to public view every person who allowed him and herself to be dug up by Moens. Some people are weak when you tell them that they have white blood in their veins. This is the creow that gives so much trouble, this is the lily white element of the colored population. This is the crowd that discriminates against itself and ridicules the hard-working people. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People tabled, a resolution last week calling for an investigation. This is protection for those higher up. It may table a resolution and refuse to investigate, but the good work will go on. There must be a reform in the public schools, no matter who becomes offended or exposed. For once in the history of this city, the colored people mean business. Now, let them exert the same activity in all other directions. A successor or Dr. Hayden Johnson is to be appointed in June. Recommendations to the judges should be made now. There is a decided opposition to any member of the Boule organization going on the Board of Education. As long as any one member of the Boule is in the colored schools or in Howard University, there will be trouble in our educational institutions: The Boules must go for the benefit of humanity. There were a few brave men among the ministers, who stand in the limelight. Mrs. Tanner took the lead. A teacher in the Dunbar High School had to be reminded of a bit of ancient history, also a supervisor who got a little gay when she was told to go back and sit down. Yes; the women intended to invade the schools had the objectionable teacher been retained. It is about time for those who claim to be the leaders of the social clique to return at once. The denizens of Hog Wash Hollow would not be guilty of the acts charged against some, few of this rotten set in this city. Society must be reorganized and the dirt removed. I have always said that this so-called social set was 99 degrees worse than the denizens of Hog Wash Hollow. Speaking of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, it ought to disband. How does the association expect to advance the interests and improve the morals of those females whose nude poses are on exhibition? If the so-called respectable females can undress and have their nude forms pictured, what can you expect from the common class? What can the mother say who had her nude form taken? How will she explain to her husband? The husband certainly certainly knows it. One physician declared that he would shoot the man who took his daughter's picture. It was not many hours before he saw his daughter's picture. Moens is still living, and this hot air physician is still at large. Another individual did not say what he would do, but the moment he was informed that his daughter's picture was taken; he walked directly to the professor, got his daughter's picture, and read the riot act to him. A person who intends to do a thing will go and do it without talking about it. There were several females summoned to court, but they were not called by the government; they were visitors of Moens. Easter week was a gay one at the War Camp Community Service Club, No. 3. On Easter Monday the club was open for the recreation of the soldiers. Numbers of them made up parties and spent the afternoon in the National Zoological Park. At night the soldiers enjoyed themselves at the club. Numbers of soldiers came to the club after being discharged from the service at Camp Humphreys, Va. A party of thirty-five members of the class in recreational leadership, visited Camp Meade and there gave an entertainment in the Knights of Columbus. They danced the Virginia reel and other folk dances, to the amusement of the large number of soldiers. Miss Gladys Jones sang several collections. On Wednesday, April 23, the Laudie- Ancillary, No. 73, Knights of St. John held an entertainment and dance, which was largely attended, about 500 persons, mostly soldiers, being present. An orchestra furnished music for the occasion. A patriotic supper was served, and the airir was a most enjoyable one. In company with Mr. John Hope, president of Morning College, Athena, Gust. Mr. W. T. B. Williams, representing the general education board, ringing on Normal and Industrial Institute, and Mr. C. H. Williams, field representative, War Camp Community Activities, a visit was made to the carpet Community Center, where high of us made brief remarks. On Friday night, April 25, the soldiers had an enjoyable time among themselves. About seventy-five soldiers were present, ten of whom contributed to an impromptu program. There were songs, no nologues, eccentric dancing, and a vanilleville skirt. On Saturday night, April 26, the assembly room of the club presented a carnival-like appearance. The occasion was an entertainment and dance for the soldiers arranged by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Miss Eiliza A. Bell, Mgs. Mildred E. Jones and others. Cut flowers, branches of trees, and other greens were used in addition to other decorations to make the room "a place beautiful." An orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Alonzo P. Smalls, furnished music, to the joy of the dancers, every soldier taking part in some one dance. A feature of the evening was "the tag dance," ice cream cake, sandwiches, fruit punch, were served to the guests, numbering about 600, 300 of whom were soldiers and sailors. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning, several automobiles, some donated by public-spirited citizens, brought a number of soldiers from the Walter Reed General Hospital to the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, where the Rev. James E. Willis, pastor of the church, preached a special sermon to them on "Life's Problem, or What Shall It Profit a Man?" There were two hundred and fifteen soldiers present, several of whom resolved to follow the Cross, as they had followed the flag. At the close of the divine service an elaborate dinner, consisting of roast turkey, with French dressing, early June peas, corn, white potatoes, celery, lettuce and tomato salad, ice cream, cake and coffee, was served. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, representing the Colored Girls' Division of the War Camp Community Service, made some remarks. At the community sing at the club in the afternoon the choir of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, under the direction of Miss Mary L: Europe, furnished music. CAMP MEADE, MARYLAND. How Easter Monday Was Spent at Y. W. C. A. Hostess House No. 2. All of the auxiliary organizations—Y. M. C. A., K. C., and Y. W. C. A., are still doing their bit to make the stay of our boys in camp as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. To this end the, Y. W. C. A. Hostess House No. 2, for colored troops, near Midway Station, gave a social of a very high order on Easter Monday, April 21, which was very largely attended. It would not be an examination to say that there were about three hundred persons, present; many ladies from the cities of Washington and Baltimore, Y. M. C. A., secretaries; and army officers as well as a large number of soldiers for whom it was primarily given. The major part of the afternoon was spent in tripping the light fantastic toe.

Miss Wharton, the recreation director of the girls' division, War Camp Community Service, Baltimore, Md., gave several impersonations which were excellent. The information hostess, Mrs. Alice Dickenson, and Miss Irene Johnson, the business hostess, in their short talks outlined the aim and purpose of the Y. W?C. A. and expressed their desire to be of the utmost service to the men. An appeal was also made to the ladies for flowers and shrubbery to beautify the surroundings. Mrs. Williams, Camp Director Y. W. C. A. Hostess Houses, was present and stayed until the closer. The program was brought to a close at 6 p. m.—one of the most enjoyable afternoons spent in camp. It was the end of a perfect day. A. M.

It is "universal joint" conform with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatments of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a specialty of those cases.

Everything on hand to appease the appetite. The Washington Bee Former United States Senator Henry W. Blair said of Joseph C. Manning: "Mr. Manning is a profund student of the principles of liberty and is capable of a high order of political leadership." Manning has proven this. His statesmanship is making good. He saw ahead of his time and now his viewpoint is being vindicated. Manning said: "The issue coming up from the South is simply one of whether the people of the South, whites and blacks, shall be permitted to enjoy plain United States governmental rights. It is the issue of whether the South shall continue to be subjected to the political slavery of a partisan autocracy, together with whether or not the nation is to be ruled by this regime." These were words spoken and written by Manning years ago, and he has kept it up. Manning has said to colored people that it was the propaganda of the Southern autocracy, carried on through the North, that was hurting the colored people North, and that this propaganda was carried on that the North might not get at the real issue of repression of democratic government in the South. Manning has said that the only way to get rid of the propaganda was to smash the system it sought to foster. He has said that the only way we could stop race discrimination was to end the system which breeds these wrongs. He has said that only by reaching Northern public sentiment and getting this issue taken up by the Republican party could the ends desired be accomplished. He said that to protest the wrongs of the Southern Democracy and vote to put the South in the saddle was folly, for a vote for Democrats North was a vote to keep the Southern Democracy in power and its system in the South entrenched. Manning has kept up his work until great Republican papers and big Republican party leaders are coming to his view. THE BEE has always backed up Manning's efforts and encouraged his sincere and earnest and untiring fight for human justice in this country. He saw long ago that it was a question that concerned both races equally and has rightfully argued that it was not merely a colored man's question. The issue will be fought out and it will be settled on the lines set out by Manning, who is today the best informed man in this nation on this question. Great political clubs and representative newspapers have opened hearings for Manning, and he is now being appreciated for his statesmanship in high places, just as has THE BEE always appreciated and understood Manning. Colored people who have all the years believed in the sincerity and wisdom of this fearless friend of right have no reasons to regret it, but they do have reason to feel that their good judgment is vindicated. Many of the race saw the issue before the great party leaders were awakened to these truths Manning has been telling all this while. BETHEL LITERARY. It was a happy thought which induced Bethel Literary to invite Dr. W. E. B. DuBois to address it on last Tuesday evening. If there was any doubt in the minds of citizens of Washington as to the esteem in which Dr. DuBois is held by the Washington public, it went glimmering when he arose to speak. It has been years since such an immense throng crowded into the auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church to witness a session of the famous Bethel Literary. Every available seat in the auditorium and gallery was filled and there were eager listeners who stood through the entire address. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, a delegate, to the Pan-African Congress in Paris, in well-chosen and forceful words, introduced the guest of the evening. When Dr. DuBois rose the applause which greeted him was overwhelming. It was as if a long-absent and much-loved friend had suddenly returned. For fully five minutes the ovation was deafening, and for it he could not speak. It was truly a demonstration of affection for one who had been, and seen, and conquered. Dr. DuBois spoke with the earnestness of a man who is conscious of the responsibility which is his in helping the race to make its way against an organized opposition of the white world. The thousands who were present will long remember the evening of April 29, 1919, at Bethel Literary. Appropriate and well rendered music was rendered by the choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and a chorus from the National Training School for Women and Girls. Mr. E. H: Sutton, Judge R. H. Terrell and Prof. L. M. Hershaw participated in the discussion following the address. The Delvers' Literary Club will render a program before Bethel Literary next Tuesday evening, May 6, in which Miss Mary E. Hewlett, Miss Lucy Kjdrick, Miss S. R. Johnson and Miss Martha Harris, and Messrs J. R. C. Pinn, George A. Parker; G. R. F. Key, Charles S. Pryor and Alonzo E. Tancil will take part. They will present a symposium on "The Negro: His Future." interspersed with appropriate music. An outgrowth of the Parents' League held in the city was a parents' meeting in the Allen A. M. E. Church on April 23, with Mrs. Mamie Lloyd presiding. She stated the object of the league was to aid in bringing about better school conditions. An auxiliary was organized here and the following officers were appointed: Mrs. Mamie Lloyd, pres- ident; Mrs. Addie Ambush, first vice president; Miss Cecelia Cannon, second vice president; Miss Lillie Robinson, third vice president; Mrs. Mary E. Taylor, secretary; Mrs. Fannie Giles, assistant secretary; Miss Cecelia Cannon, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Eliza Small, treasurer; Mrs. Ella Robinson, chaplain. Mrs. Lloyd stated that the Parents' League, now organized, is to be a permanent institution in the life of Washington, and that the concerted efforts and prayers of so many fathers, mothers and friends of children could but produce a wonderful reformation for the good of the present and unborn generations. Mrs. Addie Ambush scored a point in stating that the welfare and protection of the boy meant as much and should be as carefully considered as that of the girl. Prof. William Small heartily endorsed the remarks of Mrs. Henry and emphasized the work of the patient, sacrificing Washington teacher. Mrs. Forrest advised the parents to provide wholesome employment for their girls during vacations. Mrs. Lloyd is to communicate with Mrs. Tanner concerning when she shall invite speakers to the next meeting. There is wild indignation against Rev. George W. Brent by the regular organization of the Deanwood Citizens' Association, over the action of Rev. George W. Brent, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who allowed a defeated faction: to hold a rump meeting in his church against the wishes of the members, it is alleged. This meeting was held last Monday night, April 28. T. J. Bias was president; B. A. Brown; secretary; Jackson King, vice president; Arthur Jessup; treasurer; M. N. Yancy, chaplain; Leroy King, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Ida Plummer, chairman of the program committee. Several persons who were booked to speak—Finley Wilson and Rev. Brent—failed to appear. It will be remembered that during the winter of 1917 Mrs. Christiana Moody stirred the Deanwood community by exposing the bad condition of the Deanwood school. These men at that time held the association as a private asset and kept the doings of the association a secret until Mrs. Briggs and the citizens headed a movement and ousted the entire combination, and organized a first-class association with a membership comprising the leading and representative citizens of Deanwood. This association of the regulars is doing good work among the people, and their next step is to get rid of all objectionable teachers in the Deanwood school. Misrepresentations were made to the Board of Education to protect certain interests. A certain committee was sent out to investigate, and the entire proceedings were white-washed. It was subsequently alleged that the Board of Education was misled and the bad conditions in the Deanwood school warranted changes in the teachers' corps in that school. No citizen has done greater work for the people than Mrs. Briggs and her citizens' following. A meeting was called, and in the call it was stated that no women would be allowed. The women ignored the call made by Mr. Bias, who issued the call, and they came to the meeting by the dozens and elected their own chairman, John W. Smith, president, who is also a charter member; Mrs. Christiana Moody Briggs, secretary; Patrick Tolliver, vice president; Rev. T. A. Henderson, assistant secretary; Howard Kirby, treasurer; S. W. Holcomb, chaplain; W. M. Tolliver, sergeant-at-arms; W. M. Moody, W. M. Thomas and Howard Kirby, school committee. The ex-officers, Mr. Bias and his cabinet, left their chairs and walked out, while Mr. B. Brown gathered up the books and fled in haste. These men, assisted by Miss Ida C. Plummer, have been holding meetings ever since in homes of their friends, while the real Citizens' Association continues to hold their monthly meetings in the Deanwood School the first Tuesday night of each month. They have purchased a new typing machine after having had their old one taken from them. The Citizens' Association of Deanwood is rapidly improving their community, the school being the main feature. Election of officers took place the first of the year, the same, officers having been re-elected for this year. The association has a larger membership than ever before. It holds the membership of some of Deanwood's oldest inhabitants and founders of the association. George W. Brent has become quite unpopular since the doors of his church were opened to the defeated faction. The deacons of the church were surprised as to who gave these people their authority. The leading members of that church will have to be answered at the next church meeting. The Mothers' Protective Society of Deanwood, D. C., is standing ready to assist in the great movement of cleaning up the schools for our children. They will tell you in next week's Bee of their fight for the purity of their girls; they will tell you, why certain teachers were forced to leave the Deanwood School. They will also tell you of the great progress that their school has made since the appointment of Miss F. S. Bruce as principal, and her lovely corps of teachers. They will lay bare the causes for the removal of a cer-teacher in the Deanwood School. EUSTIS B. JOHNSON. Frequently seen in the streets is a man by the name of Eustis B. Johnson, familiar known as Eus. Johnson, with his little dog, Toddles, who seems to fairly idolize her master, and rightly so, as Eus. is a fine fellow, a gentleman, and true to the core. Mjss Toodles is, indeed, very fortunate in having such a master. Eus. is thinking of having a birthday party for her soon, as she has just recently reached her fifteenth anniversary. HALLS HILL, VA. Easter was appropriately observed in the churches here by specially prepared programs. At 3:30 p. m. Mt. Salvation Baptist rendered a beautiful program, owing much to the efficiency of their new superintendent, Mr. Thornton, and his helpful companion, and at 8:30 the Sunday School of Calloway M. E. Church entertained the audience with one of the best programs ever heard in this section, with music by the choir, and a beautiful tableau was presented by older members of the school. Mrs. Carrie Carrington, superintendent. Rev. J. F. Williams, local preacher, preached at 11 o'clock. The Epworth League was well attended, and after the usual topic discussion, Mr. Barrett, the district president from Alexandria, gave a splendid address. Mrs. Evelyn Wright, the second vice president, presided.. The junior church pageant Monday night was engaged in with very good success, with only eight girls, marched up the aisle with very dignified airs. Miss Laura Robinson, from Chesterbrook, representing America, brought in $21.42 and received the first prize. Miss Hazel Deskins, $13.54, for Japan, received the second prize. Miss Eleanora Brown, $13.42, for Turkey, received the third prize. Mrs. E. V. Ferguson, manager, assisted by seven sisters, and Mrs. Dr. E. T. Morten, secretary. Rev. T. N. Austin, presiding officer. The community was well represented, and there were quite a few from the city. Among them were Mrs. Helen Hall, with Mrs. May Ballard; Miss Lillian and Mary Elliott and Mrs. Fanny Gibson; Mrs. Alice Jones, from Mt. Zion Church, with many others. We are always glad to welcome our friends among us. Mammoth Shows Are Now Combined and Announce Exhibitions at Early Date. The world's biggest amusement institution, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Shows Combined, is to exhibit afternoon and night at Washington, Monday and Tuesday, May 12 and 13. The consolidation of the "World's Greatest Shows" and the "Greatest Show on Earth" in one circus of colossal size, constitutes the amusement surprise of the country. Nothing to approach this gigantic new circus has ever before toured America. It has been formed by merging the pick and the cream of all that was biggest and best in the two famous shows. It would be folly to attempt to enumerate its many wonders. Some idea of the enormous scale upon which features are presented may be had when it is stated that a quarter of a million pounds of elephants take part in a single act. In other words, six times as many of the big-earned giants than have ever before been seen in one maintent exhibition. All else to be seen is in proportion. The arenic stars embrace all the world's foremost circus performers. There are three hours of novelties and big sensational acts. The menagerie is far and away the most colossal ever traveled. For instance, a herd of eight giraffes is exhibited in place of the two or three shown in the past. The HOW TO ORGANIZE A LOCAL PARENTS' LEAGUE. The object of the Parents' League is to give us better moral and intellectual conditions in our schools. With this object in view, call together the people in your church or community who favor better conditions. Be sure that you secure good, reliable people at the very beginning of your organization. Do not allow anyone to become a member or an officer who does not favor the work you are trying to do. Put them out at first, or they will put you out at last. When you meet, explain the work and elect a president, vice-president, recording secretary, assistant secretary, correspondent secretary, treasurer and chaplain. As soon as you have a temporary organization notify the Parents' League, 1518 M Street Northwest, and tell us WHEN and WHERE YOU WERE ORGANIZED and the NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF YOUR OFFICERS, and a charter-and a model constitution will be sent. Arrange to hold mass meetings and regular monthly meetings. Explain to the people in your community that if the schools are to be improved and immoral and incompetent teachers put out and kept out; if we are to have proper persons on the School Board and the unfaithful members put off, the people must unite and help us. Organize and begin work at once. Let us know when you arrange to hold mass meetings and we will send speakers to you. Yours for success, F. S., TANNER, President.

TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: We, the undersigned, members of the Parents' League of the District of Columbia, most respectfully represent as follows: That Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Colored Schools of the District of Columbia, during his administration of said schools has, by his many acts of omission and commission, forfeited the confidence and lost the respect of the parents of the children in the Public Colored Schools in the District of Columbia. That the said Roscoe C.

CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD Matters of interest to the whole race were discussed last week by the Church Extension Board of the African Methodist. Episcopal Church, which met in the headquarters of the board, 1535 Fourteenth street northwest, presided over by Bishop W. H. Heard, of Philadelphia, and Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary. The following members were present: Revs. C. P. Cole, New York; C. J. Wilson, North Carolina; Chas. Bandy, Ohio; G. W. Jones, Illinois; W. H. Peck, Missouri; J. T. Hall, Georgia; Lee A. Logan, South Carolina; F. R. C. Durden, Mississippi; J. B. Carter, Alabama; G. B. Young, Texas; W. H. Jones, Ontario. Secretary Watson reported that the receipts for the fiscal year ending March, 31, 1919, including balance brought over from the previous year, $63,319.71; disbursements, $23,310.95; cash in bank, $39,008.76. Bishop Heard; after commending the report and speaking in terms of praise of Dr. B. F. Watson, called attention to the treatment received by the Negro at Camp Meade and the failure to recommend Negroes for continued service in the United States army, and a committee was appointed, with Dr. W. H. Peck as chairman, to draft a letter to Secretary Baker, which was done. COLORED PRESBYTERIANS. New Era Magazine, official medium of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, in its June, issue will record the remarkable showing made by the colored presbyteries of the South in the church's New Era Victory Fund campaign. "At the time we entered the European war," says New Era Magazine, "the colored people of the South were challenged by the government as never before. They accepted the challenge, and at the close of the war the colored troops returned from Europe with a fighting record and morale equaled by few and surpassed by no regiments of the whole American army. "In the beginning of the Presbyterian New Era Movement the colored people were again challenged this time by the Presbyterian Church and the way in which they have met that challenge is not surpassed by the valor and morale of their men on the battlefield.

One colored man pledged the product of one acre of cotton; guaranteeing it to yield, at least $125. In addition he pledged $20 for his wife and children. His church jumped its benevolences from $20 to $600.

FREE BIRTHDAY January 18, 1898.—Be very careful, as this is a very unfavorable year. You will have many trials placed in your path by others. Make as few changes as possible; avoid quarrels; hold fast to what is good. Your evil stars will try to subject you to many trials and sad experiences. June 5, 1894.—Yours should be a very interesting life, full of events and abrupt transitions from one condition in life to another, ups and downs intertwined with astonishing rapidity. You are very active, intelligent, and prefer to always be doing something and be on the go. You are not in your lucky period of your life at this writing. Widowhood is indicated for you, and you will remain in the same condition this year, though there are several offers of marriage, and the great question should arise in your mind whether H T R S JUPITER MARS JUPITER NEPTUNE SUN DEANURO NEPTUNE CENTRAL URANUS they are the right ones. When you love, you love dearly. Will any one of the men be capable and willing? So be careful and you will avoid a wrecked and ruined life. It is not the best year for marriage. June 12. You are a very interesting and capable young woman, and if people would not hold you back so much you would make a great success in life. You had many hardships, and your path is, not clear as yet from the difficulties, but with care, knowledge and help your life, placed in the hands of the Lord, will improve. You need more hope, more prayer, more faith in the High Powers from above, and your enemies will not be able to reach you. Some evil is ahead of you, so be careful, and all will be well after you get out of this condition that holds you down. June 1.—Your life at times looks very serious and troublesome to you. Try hard to always look on the brighter side. Life will not always be so hard with you, as the stars change for the better: the coming years will assume a brighter hue, and your conditions will improve. You are fit for a trustworthy position and better friends, and the stars assure both for you in the coming years. February 4.—This is a fairly successful year for you, but your heart's desires are not realized. You mean well with people, but some do not take you as you are, but misrepresent your best intentions, hence be very careful in whom you place your confidence. You have a great interest in all things pertaining to the mystery, and you have some vision, but you do not trust yourself as you should. There is sickness to yourself and someone in the family, too, but it is not so serious as it will appear to be. Be of good cheer; your life is a long one and a better one than many of your enemies want it to be. July 31, 1897—You are rough and ready, but kind and sympathetic. You have very ideal aspirations and look for the best in every body, and you must not be disappointed if you do not always find what you are searching for. You are restless and wandering in spirit, and you remind me of Paul Du Chaille, the famous African explorer, "a moving spirit upon the face of the waters." You take a broad and comprehensive view of everything, and in your intuitive skip thus gained you are seldom wrong. You are fond of athletics and out-of-door sports of all kinds; are very artistic and musical and a great lover of hygiene. One of your natures or talents should succeed in accumulating quite a fortune, if you do not spend it in all your changes and travels, or give it away while it is being made. You want a lot of attention, and you love very deeply. April 15.—You will not receive the letter, and you will soon make a change without advance notice. *** December 26.—Your condition is not so bad as you think. You are making your life unbearable. Go to church and pray very hard, and God will show you the better life, and you will be a help to others as well as yourself. July 6, 1896.—Your wife is all right. You can help her on the better road. You are careless and drifting, and you do not understand the laws that underlie success; study them, and you will succeed in your undertakings. You are too melancholy, too distrustful, too unsettled to be happy in married life. Change, brother; look up to God; do the best by your wife, and she will love you, dearly, and you will have better luck, too. HOWARD UNIVERSITY Whereas, it appears from articles which have appeared in the public press that Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, has submitted to the board of trustees of said university plans for the reorganization of the courses of study therein, and also of the faculties and administrative agencies, and, which plans have been in part approved by said board; and Whereas, said plans have in view the development of Howard University into an institution of higher learning of the first class, instead of the third class, according to its present rating, and the bringing together of a faculty composed of persons of high attainments and teaching ability, giving preference, in cases where all qualifications are equal, to colored men; Therefore, be it resolved that we hereby express our confidence in the character and purpose of Dr. Durkee, and in the ability and wisdom of the board of trustees of Howard University, and that we believe that the university should be developed into an institution of higher learning of the first class, and that the inefficiency and in harmony which herefore has handicapped the work of the university should be eliminated Be it further resolved, that in his efforts to develop a great institution, Dr. Durkee should not be embarrassed by the ambition, pride or interests of individuals, but that it should be steadily kept in mind that institutions of learning are established for the pupils who attend them and not primarily to provide employment, honors, dignities and emoluments for individual instructors and officers. That a copy of these resolutions, signed by the president and secretary, and the seal of the association affixed thereto, be sent Dr. Durkee; also copies be furnished the press of this city.

THE STODDARD Since most of our churches were actively engaged in the spring rallies in their own churches, the date for the close of the drive was fixed for July 1. Nearly thirty days have now passed since the drive began, and up to this time comparatively only a few churches have signified that they are interested in this campaign to raise $7,000. If we are successful in raising the $7,000, we have been promised $1,000 by a friend, who has stated emphatically that he will not leave it to us in his will, so it behooves us to get busy and get our amount a soon as possible.

By his thrift and frugality he leaves an estate valued at something over ten thousand dollars, and something more valuable than that—an unattornished reputation as a preacher, neighbor and friend. The young white boy all revered him as Uncle Clabe, while the grown-ups knew him as Rev. Johnson. The colored boys and girls for miles and miles can point to him as having either baptized them or those who are married, that he, married them; for it must be said, Rev. C. C. Johnson believed in Christ's adage relative to age limit at which time one should be about his "Master's business." So then, as an evangelist as well as a pastor, it wasn't anything strange for him to baptize 70 or 80 after one of his stormy spiritual revivals. He constantly kept before his people's mind to buy homes and educate their children. As witness to the fact that he has aided almost every one with whom he came in direct contact was attested by the great concourse of people who, on last Wednesday, followed his remains to its final resting place.

A Word From Little Mt. Baptist Church, Brunswick County. He taught school here many years, endearing himself to the entire community, both white and colored. We shall never forget the lasting good as well as the inspiration imparted to our children; for all of his school children are now grown up and many of them are preachers and deacons and excellent housewives. They owe it to Rev. C. C. Johnson. I saw his son, Rev. E. T. Johnson, at the funeral. I haven't seen him since he resigned the school at Blackstone for the purpose of studying for the ministry. I told him that he is now needed at home. We have bought our homes and are buying our homes; our churches are all paid for; yet we are improving. May the good work go on!

He preached a grand and soul-stirring sermon, using for his subject "A Great Man Is Fallen." He pictured most graphically the things which go to make up a great man, the qualification of a great man. The prime qualification is the man that knows God. Dr. Ashburn said that he met the deceased 15 years ago, when he was called from the Lynchburg Seminary to take charge of Philoh Baptist Church, located at Blackstone. "It was there I associated with him and his son, who were then establishing the high school of which you know. The people idolized him in all his churches, and not only in his churches, but in the community and town. He was a great man, for the burden of the success of the community for miles around he carried in his heart. And, indeed, it must have been gratifying to him in his last days to see the ripening of the fruit which he had so long watched: The church is improving materially and spiritually, the people everywhere in this section owning their own homes, biggie and automobile, and educating their children."

CONCERNING YOUR HAIR Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary cream; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp and dandruff, which is a real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seoby's minos soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinade soap bathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and shiny and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cent each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.
