Featured at the National Conference of Social Work in Session at Atlantic City, N. J., June 1-8, 1919. Conference Attended by Five Thousand Delegates, Forty of Whom Were Well-Known Colored Social Workers. Atlantic City, N. J.—At the session on industrial and economic problems, Monday afternoon, the Negro in industry occupied the greater part of the time. The subject, which was followed by lively and very helpful discussion, was opened by Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League. Concerning the Negro's Industrial problems, he emphasized as fundamentals: "First. Negroes are listed as engaged in gainful occupations in a larger proportion than the white population, because fewer of them, especially women, have sufficient incomes to remain idle. "Second. They are usually employed in the most unskilled and menial labor and are considered 'fresh' when they succeed in getting into a superior type of work or aspire to advancement. "Third. When given an opportunity, they can 'make good'; in fact, they have 'made good' in every line of work they have been allowed to attempt, whether semi-skilled or skilled, professional or mightly specialized. "Fourth. They secure this opportunity only once in a great while; occasionally because employers wish to be fair and just to their men, regardless of color. More often it comes because of a scarcity of white labor and when the pocketbook of THE PARENTS' LEAGUE TAKES DRASTIC ACTION Metropolitan Methodist Church Is Crowded Tuesday Evening—The League Declares Time to Act—Picketing Franklin School—It Will Be Continued. Until Roscoe Bruce Is Removed—Colored Americans Rights That the Board of Education Must Respect. Interest in the schools by the Parents' League has not at all abated. There were 15,000 people present last Tuesday night to file their protests against the longer retention of Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of the schools. Mrs. Tanner called the meeting to order and declared that the time for action had come. At this remark the wildest enthusiasm was manifested. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Addresses were then made by Attorneys Horner, Hewlett and Hill, who represent the league. There were many well known citizens seated in the pulpit. It was decided to picket the Franklin School, as long as Roscoe C. Bruce was retained as superintendent. It was also decided that an investigation of the colored schools by Congress be insisted upon. Deanwood. The special committee appointed by the Superintendent of Schools to investigate and report on the condition of the school at Deanwood, D.C., will be investigated. All the facts in the Deanwood school have been compiled by a special representative citizen of Deanwood. These facts are startling. One of the participants has been rewarded by the appointment of a daughter. It is claimed that this committee knew at the time it made its report that the charges made by the citizens' committee of Deanwood were true. It has since been disclosed that Miss Coppen, a teacher of twenty years, standing, was sacrificed. The Parents' League is picketing the Franklin School on schedule time. Picketing will continue until the Board of Education takes action. SQUARE DEAL REPUBLICANS. The National League of Alexandria County Holds Meeting. The National Square Deal Republican League of Alexandria County, Virginia, held its regular meeting on the last Thursday in May. The officers and members were surprised to see that a plan formulated by one of the officers and his ardent friend, who had been a member of the Lily White convention held in Alexandria City, Va., to further disorganize and break up the organization, was in operation. However, their plans failed. The officer was forced to resign, and his scanty followers, some not even taxpayers, left also. The meeting proceeded with peace and tranquillity and Mr. Lawrence E. Butler was elected permanent secretary. A well prepared constitution was read and adopted. The organization grows by leaps and bounds, and every member feels like doing his duty, as did the black soldiers in Argonne Forest. The president, Dr. Sumner G. Holmes, presided with usual force and executive ability and brought calmness out of chaos. Through his efforts a liberal sum has been promised by the county officials for the entertainment and welcoming of the returning colored soldiers. The celebration will be held at the Jefferson Public School, Alexandria County, Va.. July 4th. All members went on record to stand by the president and support the organization with their moral, financial and political ability. The proper instructions on regis- IMPORTANT! MUSICIANS! LEAVE FOR NEW YORK. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1919 Drastic In presenting their relation to organized labor, past, present and future, Mr. Jones said: "This naturally brings up the question as to the relationship between organized white groups of laborers and colored workingmen. You will say that all men who work have a common cause and should cooperate to the end that as strong and as solid a front as possible may be made before recalcitrant employers. But in order to have a clear understanding of the situation, the following facts should not be ignored: "1. Negroes are not usually welcomed in the highly organized trades; and when they do, through the favor of the circumstances, they are so-called 'scabs' of these trades. The unions have refused to accept them as members and on the other hand brand them as scabs for working at a lower wage. "Colored men are told that they are disliked because they are scabs, and they organize and pass resolutions in the efforts to get admission into the unions for the colored men. "The National and International Councils inform us that there is no discrimination recognized in the constitutions of these great labor organizations, but in the next breath admit that they cannot control heir locals, and the locals continue in their work of discrimination. "2. Negroes are mainly engaged in the unskilled and semi-skilled trades and in domestic service, which has always proved difficult of organization. Surely, the plight of the Negro workingman seems impossible, but the hand of Providence is unerring, and unexpected forces are at work to bring to the Negro the opportunity he deserves and should have. "I suggest the following remedies, in view of the above criticisms: "I. That those who know the situation will make it very clear to all persons who feel the over-emphasized thought that to give the Negro opportunity will advance the so-called desire for social equality for the Negro—that the Negroes are a great deal less concerned about this bugbear than those who talk about it. In fact, but seldom do I hear Negroes discussing the question one way or the other. "In the second place, our country demands, for its full development, the utilization of the greatest and most effective man power which its citizens can muster. This power should be exacted of them, based upon just and square dealings with all, to the end that their greatest capacities may be developed and used." "It is not to the best interest of our country that 11,000,000 of our population are, regardless of capacity or inclination, relegated to the most menial positions in the community. Science, experience and observation have taught us that it is possible and often does happen that the best, individuals along certain lines may just as well be of one race as of another, be it pugilist, a musician, a painter, a riveter or a writer. "* * * I should think that in order to develop Negro workers to their greatest efficiency in our large industrial plants, Negro welfare workers should be employed, who will look after the complaints and grievances of the men, see that they are given decent houses and proper recreation and that their increased efficiency is encouraged by offering them advancement from time to time in their several, positions, which positions are guaranteed to them indefinitely, based only upon merit. “* * * Trade unions must understand that they cannot get their full return from their efforts with one-tenth of the country's man power arbitrarily shut out of the movement.” OAK GROVE BAPTISTS. The Oak Grove Baptist Church had its first grand rally for the spring the first Sunday in May and was in a prosperous condition. * * * Mr. Wailace Culley and Miss Annie Queen, both of Arkendale, Stafford County, Va., were united in wedlock at 1709 Ninth street northwest, in this city, May 24, by the pastor of the Oak Grove Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. J. A. Smith. "THE AMBASSADOR." The Baltimore Dramatic Club, under the direction of Mr. Edward H. Hackley, with Mr. Thomas J. Smith as manager, presented Hackley's Musical Comedy at Howard Theatre last Saturday evening, to an appreciative audience. The extremely warm weather was the cause of the slim attendance. The participants were amateurs, it is true, but they deserve credit, and Director Hackley, who is a musical genius, is to be complimented for the presentation of this musical comedy, which was his own composition. The solos, choruses and dancing were very refined. Two of the most striking and entertaining numbers were the dances by the Coleman Sisters, two sweet young misses, the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Coleman. Mr. Howard Milton Gross, as the Ambassador, was good. His acting and singing were very refined. The cast follows; Col. Todd, U. S. Consul at Fez, Morocco, William H. McAbee; Selim, his native servant. Daniel Harris; Marjorie, the coquil's niece, Norma, Marshall; Prof. Ketchum, an American naturalist, C. Wilbur Harris; Gen. Bugg, special U. S. Ambassador, Howard Milton Gross; Luke, his valet, Lloyd Robinson; Capt. Raymond Bascomb, in command of regiment, Dr. O. D. Jones; Lieut. Lawrence Layton, John W. Nixon; Rosie, housekeeper at consulate, Alma Kelly; Raisuli, a brigand chief, Dr. A. D. Stone; Carlos, second brigand, W. Norman Bishop; Mustapha, third brigand, George Dawson; Herounzabar, the fourth brigand, Wesley Thomas; Fancina, Lieut. Layton's sweetheart, Juliet Thomas; Tewfik Mokanna, Sultan of Morocco, Solomon DeCoursey; Sultan's messenger, Royai Guard, George Russell; native street dancer, Justine Neal; harlem dancers, Dorothy and Coleman. Native vendors—Mascella Smith, Florence Brown, Gladys McAbee, Emily Wyatt, Wesley Thomas, George Russell, Thomas Smith. Tourist girls—Juliet Thomas, Wilhelmina Ware, Margaret Dow, Mascella Smith, Florence Brown, Cornelia Wilson, Pauline Helm, Emily Wyatt, Gladys McAbee, Justine Neal, Emma Lloyd, Alma Thomas. Soldiers—Thomas Smith, George Dawson, Lloyd Robinson, Wilbur Harris, Joseph Batty, Wesley Thomas, Alfred Dixon, Lawrence Hubert, Milton Dorsey, Lewis Walker, Theodore Brown, George Russell, W. Norman Bishop, Leroy Payne, George Smith, J. Edward Neal. Captive maidens — Juliet Thomas, Margaret Dow, Mascella Smith, Cornelia Wilson, Florence Brown, Wilhelmina Ware. Tambourine girls—Gladys McAbee, Justine Neal, Emma Lloyd, Maud Neal. Court attendants—Bertha Lecato, Gladys Henderson, Emma Ball, Milton Dorsey, Roderick Gwathney. The lady participants were well dressed and looked very sweet in their costumes. The Man Who Operates This Sight-Seeing Car Is a Credit to His Business—The National Capital Has None Like It—Those Who Don't Care to Maintain a Car for Themselves and Friends Should Take the Royal Sight-Seeing Car. There has been a great need for a sight-seeing car for the benefit of the colored citizens of Washington. Thousands of our friends visit this city, and there never has been any Action convenience for them to go sight seeing. A car of the style mentioned is now to be had. The Royal Joy Line. This line is operated from Twelfth and U streets northwest, from 10:30 a.m., 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. daily. The management of the Royal Joy Line gives you up-to-date service. It is one of the most convenient and substantial cars being operated by any corporation. This is a new and different line of business that is being splendidly operated by colored men and fills a long-felt want. The Result. What has this line accomplished? It has convinced the most skeptical that all a colored man wants is the privilege. He will get results. He eliminates discrimination and puts segregation to flight. He now asks no favors from those who operate similar cars. Appeals. He now appeals to the people to patronize him, to enable the institution to continue. The Royal Joy Line Sight-Seeing Tours start from Twelfth and U streets northwest, at Banks & Burrell's Pharmacy. This line will take you to the Zoo and on its way there many beautiful sights are witnessed. The most picturesque scene is Rock Creek Park and the running stream, as well as the fine residences of modern architecture. This trip is made for one dollar. If you want to see the public buildings, the ride costs you 75 cents only. Strangers coming to the city should not fail to avail themselves of the sight-seeing cars. A few months ago strangers coming to the city had no opportunity of seeing the city, only by riding in the street cars or hiring an expensive automobile at a cost of $2.50 or $3 per hour. You can see the city for 75 cents to one dollar. The Royal Joy Line may be hired for picnic parties. It is the greatest innovation for pleasure seekers that has ever been inaugurated in this city. WILBERFORCE IN LIMELIGHT W. S. Scarborough Re-elected President—Emmett J. Scott Speaks. Wilberforce, Ohio, June 11.—With the First Educational District of the A. M. E. Church, over which Bishop Joshua H. Jones presides, assisted by Bishops Tyre, Coppin, Smith and Jones, pledging $25,000 for Wilberforce; with the re-election of Dr. W. S. Scarborough as president, the address of Dr. Emmett J. Scott and the graduation of 100 students, the fifty-sixth annual commencement of Wilberforce passes into history as one of the greatest since its foundation. Dr. Scott's Speech. Dr. Scott, who received a degree from Wilberforce two years ago, wore his cap and gown. His subject was "Democracy and Education." School Has Exhibit. The school has exhibits and demonstrations by the students. In the gymnasium there were exhibits in architectural design, mechanical drawing, carpentry, construction, blacksmithing, wagon building, auto mechanic, machine shop work, plumbing, steam fitting, printing and scientific agriculture. There were dress making, millinery and cooking for girls displayed. The work this year, according to Dr. Scarborough, was thorough in every department and satisfactory to the trustee board. "Daniel," a cantata, under the direction of Miss Ida F. Horton, assisted by Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the world's great elocutionist, was the finest of its kind ever heard at the school. A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLY Eat Less — Waste nothing. Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ALLIES Honorary degrees were awarded to S. A. T. Watkins, LL. D.; Reverdy C. Ransom, LL. D.; W. G. Pearson, M. A.; Rev. Joseph Jarvis, Monessen, Pa., M. A.; Mr. Nimrod Allen, secretary Y. M. C. A., Columbus, Ohio, M. A.; Mr. A. L. Jackson, secretary Y. M. C. A., Chicago, Ill., M. A. The bishops attending the commencement were Bishops B. F. Lee, Evans Tyree, Flipper, Jones, Hurst, Heard, Connor, Chappelle, Parks, Coppin, Smith, Heckett and J. Albert Johnson. BYARS GOES OVER THE Just as we stated in The Bee several weeks ago, Mr. R. G. Byars is making good already. Plumbers, bricklayers and electricians are working daily to put the enlargement of the Hiawatha over the scheduled time. However, Mr. Byars is conducting Room 6, so that the shows are running nightly, just the same. In fact, by the back wall being out, it makes the theatre a great deal cooler for the summer. The Bee also paid a visit to the Foraker Theatre Summer Garden, and found that is it being well patronized. It seems as though the patrons enjoy the cool open air, with the best of photoplays, plenty of electric lights, clean vaudeville, ice cream and soft drinks served while you enjoy the show. In the park the seating capacity is 1,000, with sixty box seats. The West End is enjoying some pictures. AMPHION GLEE CLUB. The Amphion Glee Club, assisted by Miss Gladys Campbell, soprano, of Chicago, Ill., gave a recital June 6 for the benefit of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, and the friends of the church and the club filled the edifice. The membership of the club, which was depleted by the war, has been brought to its usual quota, and among them are several excellent voices. It was evident that careful training had been done by the director in an effort to bring the club to its usual excellency in tone and expression. The Amphions are under contract for a tour the last week in August, which will include appearances in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlantic City. N. J., where they give a recital for the Elks' Convention, which will be in session at that time. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL Dr. James E. Shepard's Great Day at Durham. Durham, N. C., June 10.—The closing exercises of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., were the greatest in the history of that institution. There were many distinguished citizens present to hear the address of the president. Many congratulations were extended him by the leading white and colored citizens in Durham. There were visitors from all parts of the country. Mrs. Louise Nelson, 2821 Sherman avenue northwest, gave an informal dance Tuesday night, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Chase, who will leave to make their future home in New York. Invited guests: Mr. and Mrs. Miner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. McAlliston, Mr. and Mrs. Lams, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Lee; Messrs. Jones, Baldwin, Combs, Howard, Young, Gray; Misses Jones, Garrison, Palmer and Rhodes. Dancing was indulged in until 12 o'clock, after which refreshments were served. --- --- When Kelly Miller wrote his defense of Roscoe C. Bruce, he didn't think once that President Durkee was president of Howard University, Kelly is no doubt aware that Howard University has a president, in deed and in fact. Of course, I expect to see a recommendation to the Board of Education in the interest of Kelly's son, who has passed the examination for a position in that school. I am afraid if the appointment is not made soon the Assistant Superintendent will not be able to make it. I attended Howard Theatre last Saturday evening and witnessed Edwin H. Hackley's musical comedy-romance. There is only one criticism I have to make: Just why someone, in the final act, should run across the stage with a mosquito net extended in the air, as if catching flies; in front of the chorus, I am unable to state. That part was unnecessary. Mr. Hackley, cut that out. The choruses were fine. The music was sweet and harmonious. The two Coleman Sisters created a sensation in their dances. Their dancing equals that of professionals. They are the daughters of Mr. Robert W. Coleman, of Baltimore, Md. The warm weather was the cause of the crowd being so slim. A large Baltimore contingent was present, but the Washington people failed to give Mr. Hackley, the producer, that warm reception to which the play was entitled. The comedy was, a high-class one, and far above the average. I must congratulate my young friend, Vincent Thomas, who is managing the Howard Theatre to perfection. Of course, the warm weather makes against theatregoing this season of the year. *** By the way, have you seen A. J.'s car since it has been given a new dressing? It is green now. It always had class to it, but it is in a class by itself now. A. J. is found to be in a class by himself. Now, Dr. Durkee, of Howard University, has made some changes and the local bosses will keep in their places. They will confine themselves to the studies to which they are assigned. Now, let me know what you think of it. R. W. T. has written a fine report of the graduating exercises. It seems strange that Prof. Miller and Geo. W. Cook, who used to be the cocks of the walk at Howard, should be confined to one territory. How can they stand it? It is like taking a wild bird and putting it in a cage to tame. Now, birds that have been running wild for a quarter of a century, so to speak, are hard to tame. They generally die from being confined. Now, let the doctor turn his attention to the medical department. It needs a good cleaning out. Now, doctor, don't delay. Take your broom and paint brush and give it a good cleaning and painting. It is badly in need of renovation. That department has been going wild for a long time. A little investigation would disclose some startling things. If you doubt it, consult me, and your eyes will be opened. Howard University is a great institution. It has been in the limelight for a number of years. The great trouble with some people is, they want to Hamptonize our great educational institution. Howard University is an exception, however, and you will be convinced before the cleaning up is finished. There are hundreds of war historians ever since Ralph W. Tyler went to France, Roscoe Simmons, who, by chance, touched the soil of France, has a wonderful tale to tell. DuBois, whose business was confined to the Pan-American Congress, didn't have time to visit the battlefields and witness the great combats. Those who never saw anything can tell you more about the battles and the great war than those who were actively on the firing line. THE MUSICAL WORLD. Pertinent Comment by Wellington A. Adams. Program of Musician-Choir Federation a Success. Last Sunday afternoon at Galbraith Zion Church was held the most successful meeting yet given by the Federation of Choirs and Musicians of the District of Columbia. A splendid audience gathered to greet the participants and speaker, and the program went through with acclimation and praise. Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director of the "Amphions," gave the federation a great and wholesome speech, and, incidentally, gave Washingtonians a few hints as to organization, and he ought to know, as he has held the Amphion Glee Club together for twenty-odd years and more and self-experience is the greatest teacher in the world. Prof. Lewis' subject was "Importance of Organization," and among the many splendid thoughts advanced we offer these, in part: "Why Musicians Should Organize: We should organize for the primary reason: that in union there is strength; and for the additional reason that there is no race which has a greater endowment of musical sentiment than ours, and although we have made rapid strides toward advancement and have produced musical experts, there is yet a very bright future for us. Then, again, every profession, business or activity which succeeds must at first be well organized. The need of organization is becoming world wide in its acknowledgment. The League of Nations is an example. Where persons band themselves together for the common good and not for personal advantage, their efforts are sure to bring success. "Benefits to Be Derived From Organization: Improvement by personal contact. The larger, results always inevitable by increased effort. The establishment of a central agency or more united support to the existing agency which has been and is endeavoring to supply our musical needs, since the other race is withdrawing support formerly given us along these lines, now that the competition is becoming keener. This is a favorable omen for us. Adams Musical Agency and his activities should be supported, for it offers a splendid chance for us to have a central plant as a base for operations. The formation of a healthy local organization will soon take on nation-wide interest and importance. It is right and proper that we should organize locally first, and not nationally, as a local organization furnishes timbre for the national body. A central organization would soon unify all our musical interests, and the community as well as we would be benefited thereby. We could protect and enhance the interests of singers in church choirs and similar bodies by demanding that choirmasters and singers receive adequate support. We could establish a central training station for musical people generally. The noted artists of the race could be programmed for appearance here at stated intervals during each year. "What We Should Avoid: The usual entanglements that overtake many other similar bodies. Make the organization representative of the people generally, which seems to be your inclination and purpose. No organization that fails to reflect the will of the masses can endure long. No self-constituted set of officers can hope to receive continued popular support. At the same time avoid jealousies that are purely personal. Some must take the lead and some must follow. The followers should support the leaders when their leadership is wise and prudent." The address was greeted with warm applause. The music was indeed a rare treat, coming from the several excellent choirs in attendance. The St. Paul A. M. E. Choir, Southwest, led off with "Deep River." Mount Moriah Baptist Choir presented Mr. Louis Minor in a baritone solo. Florida Avenue Baptist Choir gave us a quartette. Second Baptist (Evening) Choir was represented by Mrs. M. Abbott. John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Choir held sway with a sextette. Each choir and participant presented music that was charming, indeed, and reflected great credit upon them. This was a splendid opportunity to compare the A training of various units and served to stimulate greater interest in rendition. It was a fine display of fine musical talent in this city. Among those present manifesting great interest in the federation and promising their hearty support were Mr. E. N. Broadenax, director, Mrs. Susie Rives, president, and Mr. Louis N. Brown, organist, of the John Wesley Zion Choir; Mrs. C. A. James, president of the Florida Avenue Baptist Choir; Miss Bell B. Smith, Metropolitan A. M. E. Choir; Mrs. Lizzie King, Metropolitan Baptist Choir; Mr. George Brown, director St. Paul A. M. E. Choir; Miss Eloise Coleman, Metropolitan Wesley Zion Choii (Southwest); Miss Beatrice Barton, and Prof. J. Henry Lewis, with the "Amphions." Encouraging remarks were made by Treasurer William H. Anderson on the work; also Mrs. Rives and Prof. Broadenax. Mrs. Rives of John Wesley offered their church for the next program of the federation, to be held on the second Sunday in July at 4 o'clock, at which time these same choirs and others will render a great musical program. The thanks of the body were voted the speaker, participants and church, and all quietly wended their way homeward, determined to make the federation a big local success. Mr. James R. Pinn in Recital. The following program by Mr. James R. Pinn in a conservatory evening musical at Rankin Memorial Chapel was rendered on Saturday evening, May 31: Prelude, Op. 28, No. 4, Chopin; Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48, No. 1, Chopin; Impromptu, A Flat, Op. 29, Chopin; Romance, Gliere; Japanese Etude, Poudini; 'Sposalizio, Liszt; Valse Triste, Sibelius; Prelude, J. R. Pinn; Polonaise in A Flat, Chopin. Vocal solos by Miss Elsie Alston and Miss Caroline Grant. Comment made by Miss Estelle Pinckney, his teacher, was reassuring to the young pianist, in that his performance was "clean and musical." Mr. Pinn is the son of Rev. Pinn, pastor of First Baptist Church, West Washington, whose career is promising, to say the least. Memorial to Lieut. Europe. A memorial meeting to the memory of Lieut. James Reese Europe, lamented bandmaster and composer, was held at Lincoln Temple on Sunday evening, June 1st. Several splendid addresses were delivered and music was rendered by Paul Roberson, baritone; Mme. Annie Hazelton Lee, soprano, of Baltimore; Augustus Holsey, tenor; R. Carlton Dorsey, violinist; Jureza Rico, basso, and orchestral selections. The Morning Star Lodge, No. 40 I. B. P. O. Elks, in their 15th annual sermon at Second Baptist Church, Third between H and I streets northwest, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor, last Sunday evening, June 8 furnished one of the sensations of the evening in the appearance of three little tots as a trio in a musical selection, namely, Misses Selina E. and Marvis A. Taylor and Master Malcolm J. Taylor, children of Exalted Ruler Alexander Taylor, P. E. R. Of all singing by children heard by the writer in recent years, these little ones excel in point of tone-blending and smoothness of voice. Indeed they excel many an adult trio as their voices are tender, fresh, sweet, wholesome, charming to a larger degree than would be heard of many others who claim to be singers. Would that you could hear these children once and your heart would be lifted up. Other splendid musical selections were rendered by Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Coles in a sweet duet and a soprano solo by THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL AND HAIR EMPORIUM We carry a full line of Ladies' Wigs and Half-Wigs, Wigs for Men, and Toupees, Braids, Bangs, and Switches.

Efforts are now being centered in welcoming home all the soldiers and sailors and aiding them to adjust themselves to after-the-war conditions. Seven hundred eighty-three soldiers and sailors visited the club during the last ten days, and every effort was made to have them know that "hospitality" is right here for them, without any charge. The committees all find something to be engaged in. Members of the various committees make weekly trips, taking in all of the hospitals, and several visits have been made within the last few days to the Government. Hospital for the Insane (St. Elizabeth's), where are a number of our men as patients. Entertainments are provided for them. Thus they find pleasure in service, remembering the sweet words of the Master: "Inasmuch as ye do it unto these the least of my brethren, ye do it unto me." Twenty-five soldiers were taken on an automobile ride. through Rock Creek Park, the speedway and Massachusetts avenue. These were the wounded boys from the Walter Reed General Hospital. A new feature of the work was that inaugurated by Prof. W. E. Lew, when he and Mr. Alonzo P. Smalls, both representing the music committee of War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, went to the Charles Sumner School and taught several camp songs to the pupils. Those mellow young voices sang with a vim, as only the young can sing. Thus war camp community service extends its activities into the school room. Lieut. Osceola E. McKaine, of New York City, addressed a number of soldiers at the club on the plans and purposes of the League of Democracy, citing the necessity for such a league and urging the formation of a branch at the club. The community sings continue in popularity. New features are introduced each Sunday afternoon, and those who patronize the sings have heard high-class artists without fee. The musical world has fallen into ranks and gives of its best to the success of these sings. Lastly the War Camp Community Service Club. No. 3 teaches the returning soldier and sailor to— Let no man rob you of the prize! The goal is near, The way is clear, Who falters now shames God and dies." DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT GOES TO HOWARD At the regular meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University Tuesday, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who, during the period of the war, has been serving most capably as special assistant to the Secretary of War, advising in matters affecting colored troops and civilians, was elected secretary-treasurer of the university. The vote of the board was unanimous. The new official enters actively upon his duties on July 1. The selection is regarded as a most fortunate one and is viewed with great satisfaction by the friends of Howard University, white and colored. It is felt that the acquisition of Dr. Scott as a member of the staff of the leading institution for the higher and professional training of the Negro brings to its support a new and powerful influence for advancement along both educational and material lines. For nearly twenty years Dr. Scott has been the administrative force at Tuskegee Institute, and up to the time of the death of its illustrious founder, he was the right-hand man and confidential assistant of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The ripe experience and broad acquaintance-ship gained by Dr. Scott through his connection with Tuskegee Institute—international in its scope—will stand him in good stead in handling the heavy responsibilities that will be entrusted to his keeping at this important center of civilization, where real leaders of the race are to be developed. His new post is deemed a merited promotion, as it affords him a larger field of usefulness to the whole people, and he has been the recipient since Tuesday of messages of congratulation and good will from representative white and colored friends all over the land. Dr. Scott's administration of his functions in the War Department has won for him the commendation of soldiers and civilians everywhere. His resignation, effective on June 30, is announced.

CONCERNING YOUR HAIR Invention of an Ex- pert 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 pennade; 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 the 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 Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents 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.

Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was the principal speaker at the concluding exercises of the week's dedication of the new Mercy Hospital, which were held yesterday at the Union Baptist Church. The new building of this splendid institution is located at Fiftieth street and Woodland avenue, and was recently purchased at a cost of $122,500. Dr. Scott praised the work of Drs. A. B. Jackson, Henry M. Minton and others who were instrumental in bringing to the race this magnificent opportunity for the development of capable colored physicians, surgeons and nurses, and stated that Mercy Hospital now justly ranks in equipment and influence for racial good with Freedmen's, at Washington, John A. Andrew at Tuskegee Institute. Provident at Chicago, and the General Hospital at Kansas City. He offered the suggestion that the Federal and State Governments uti- Washington, D. C. lize to a larger extent the skilled medical forces of the race and that such hospitals as Mercy, Freedmen's etc., be made a factor in the rehabilitation and reclamation of sick and wounded soldiers, especially with reference to those of the Negro race. He also urged a more general observance of "National Negro Health Week" throughout the country, with a view of educating the masses in the laws of health and to thus lower the enormous death rate, with its consequent economic loss to the race and nation. J. C. Asbury, solicitor of Mercy Hospital, presided, and solos were rendered by Mme. Florence Cole Talbert, of Detroit, and Miss Marian Anderson, of this city. Recitals. Mr. R. D. Carlton Dorsey, teacher of violin, gave a splendid violin recital at Lincoln Temple last Monday evening, assisted by Mr. Otto Bohanan, baritone, and Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano. --- The Washington Bee THE CHASE PUBLISHING COMPANY Entered at the Postoffice at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. One year, in advance ..... $2.00 Six months ..... 1.00 Three months ..... .50 Subscription monthly ..... .20 A COLORED PRECINCT. The Commissioners, of the District of Columbia are convinced that colored men appointed in the Fire Department have fully demonstrated their ability and competency to do what their white competitors are doing, as well, if not better. The new colored fire department is a success, and Commissioner Brownlow, who has charge of that department, is thoroughly convinced that this department is making good. The Bee understands that the Commissioners are contemplating the organization of a colored police precinct. If this report is true, no better man could be made captain of that department than Sergeant Detective Beckley. The thieves and blacklegs, housebreakers, crap shooters and all other kind of lawbreakers are running wild. Now, if Col. Brownlow will urge his associates to organize at once a colored police precinct, with Sergeant Harry Beckley as captain, Dr. Carroll as associate or lieutenant in this precinct, there would be something doing. The Bee ventures the assertion that this precinct would surpass all others in the District of Columbia. Let us have our own precinct detectives, and The Bee is confident that no thieves could exist in this particular precinct, at any rate. If the Commissioners want to be convinced, now is the time to show them. ioners of the District of Columbia appointed in the Fire Department mobility and competency to do things, as well, if not better. The success, and Commissioner B Department, is thoroughly convoking good. The Bee understandl implating the organization of a short is true, no better man count than Sergeant Detective Bee housebreakers, crap shooters and running wild. Now, if Col.

Let us and The Bee is confident the regular precinct, at any rate. Ienced, now is the time to show THE MOENS CASE. The people in this city see no reason why Congress should not investigate the Moens case and all those connected with it. If this case is investigated, and there is no reason why it should not be, the developments will be most startling. Congress should know who gave this man authority to go into the colored schools and take pictures of children and teachers. There is no reason why those females whose husbands stand high in the community should not be known, for the good of society. If this man Moens had police protection, The Bee wants to know who gave it to him. In this city see no reason why Moens case and all those connected, and there is no reason why it will be most startling. Common authority to go into the children and teachers. The those husbands stand high in the for the good of society. If so, The Bee wants to know who is of one hundred thousand per the chairman of the District Constigation. An expose of the government conduct and management, the light be turned on. The peer In the name of one hundred thousand people in this city, The Bee appeals to the chairman of the District Committee to institute at once an investigation. An expose of the guilty will be a future lesson for the proper conduct and management of the colored public schools. Let the light be turned on. The people demand it. THE ELKS. The Elks in this country have made a great record. There are two men in the organization who are entitled to continued recognition—one a local Exalted Ruler and the other the National Exalted Ruler—Messrs. Bundy and Scott. As National Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, Armond W. Scott has placed this organization in the limelight, and what he has done for this great body of Elks entitles him, as a compliment and recognition of his work, to a renomination as National Exalted Ruler, and The Bee takes this opportunity to name him as the noblest Roman of them all. In this country have made a in the organization who are are a local Exalted Ruler and t -Messrs. Bundy and Scott. arks of the World, Armond W. the limelight and what he h It also names Edward G. Bundy as the most progressive Elk, from a local standpoint, who has erected a home for his members which will be handed down to posterity. The statues of both of these Elks should be placed in the Elks' Hall of Fame. Let both men come together and receive the unanimous endorsement of this great and noble body. It would be suicidal for the local as well as the national body to displace at this time either man. This is 'The Bee's benediction. In August let there be a love feast that will be a monument to the Elks. Thomas Jesse Jones should find work among white institutions and allow the colored ones to attend to their own business. The shake-up at Howard University will put a quietus on the most active individuals. Dr. DuBois, who takes the credit for introducing Moens to the colored people in this city, and Prof. Kelly Miller, who seems to congratulate himself for defending him, should remain quiet for a season. The condition of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is due to two individuals. It was asserted that colored lawyers at the bar are jealous of Mr. Cobb on account of his standing with the District Attorney. Is Mr.. Cobb the only colored member of the bar who stands well with the United States Attorney? There are members of the bar who stand well with the judges, several steps higher up than the District Attorney. There are members of the bar who are the superiors intellectually and in the law of Mr. Cobb, namely, Attorneys L. M. King, Benj. J. Gaskins, Fountain Peyton, A. W. Scott, J. H. Wilson, Joseph H. Stewart, Thomas L. Jones, W. C. Martin, Perrie W. Frisby, Royal Hughes, A. W. Gray, Wesley S. Porter, Charles P. Ford, Charles S. Williams, Harry L. and Clarence Tignore, R. R. Horner, E. M. Hewlett, and several others who don't have to depend on others. Now, why should any of the lawyers named be jealous of Mr. Cobb because he stands well with the District Attorney, in the estimation of the president of the local branch of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People? With but two or three exceptions, the white members of the bar are seldom associated with any one of the attorneys mentioned, and it is believed that they stand well with the court. Has Mr. Cobb done anything great for any one of those men to be jealous of him? In this recent drive for new members for the Association for the Advancement of Colored People only six hundred new members were added. Last year fully eight thousand were added. The Parents' League's influence exerted itself and injured the drive because of the position taken by this local branch in the Moens case. The association must be reconstructed if it wishes to succeed in this city. It must be reorganized. No member of the bar, President Grimke, is jealous of Mr. Cobb. You are a very good man, and you mean well, but your usefulness is at an end, and your local branch, to be effective in the future, must be reorganized. (Cut out and send to 1518 M Street Northwest.) TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: COLUMBIA: We, the undersigned, members of the Parents' League of the District folic represent as follows: of Columbia, most respectfully represent as 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. the District of Columbia. That the said Roscoe C. Bruce has lost his usefulness in the schools, and we therefore ask his immediate removal for the good of the service. Under ideal skies and amid stately elms on the broad campus, the fifteh annual commencement of Howard University was held Wednesday afternoon, with the largest attendance known in many years. President J. Stanley Durkee, making his first appearance on an occasion of this kind, was greeted with prolonged applause when he arose to begin the impressive ceremonies. The procession, including the graduating classes, the faculty and the alumni of the university was a glint of bright colors in the sunlight as it wended its way across the green-sward from Carnegie Library to the alfresco auditorium near Clark Hall. The scene was picturesque and imposing. Secretary Lane and Bishop Harding Give Wise Counsel. The orator of the day was the Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, the branch of the government having control of the university. In his able address, Secretary Lane emphasized the futility of force and unlawful acts in the solution of great social and economic questions and counseled his hearers to appeal to the power of time and right systems of education to bring permanent peace among peoples and nations. The present unrest throughout the land he attributed to the too prevalent desire of groups of individuals to get something without work. No chduring success nor any real happiness can be built upon a foundation of idleness or any getrich-quick nostrum. The secretary laid stress upon the value of good citizenship, of the necessity for practical training to meet the responsibilities of life, and gave as a pertinent example of the failure of false standards in the striving for power the downfall of the autocratic German Empire. The Right Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington, was introduced by Dr. Durkee and spoke along the lines laid down by Secretary Lane. He declared service to humanity to be the royal road to progress and happiness. He paid a glowing tribute to the valor, skill and loyalty displayed by the colored soldiers who aided in the recent war for liberty and democracy, and insisted that the Stars and Stripes should wave for all Americans alike, from ocean to ocean. He was proud of the record made by the millions of Negroes since emancipation and lauded Howard University as one of the uplifting agencies that would continue to leaven the lump of intellectual and moral darkness that make for the hardships and inequalities with which the social and economic leaders of the age have to deal. Both Secretary Lane and Bishop Harding were liberally applauded. Music was furnished by a section of the regimental band of the 368th Infantry, and patriotic airs were played at intervals throughout the program, including "The Star-Span gled Banner," which brought the immense throng to its feet in spontaneous enthusiasm. Rev. Walter H. Brooks delivered the invocation, and Rev. A. C. Garner pronounced the benediction. President Durkee Confers Degrees. President Durkee, by authority vested in him by the university, conferred degrees upon, 112 graduates, constituting the "Class of 1919." In the College of Arts and Sciences thirty-four candidates, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts and seventeen the degree of Bachelor of Science. A touching incident in connection with this part of the program was the award of the degree of B. S. to John Ephraim Williams, who passed away just a few days prior to his graduation, but had fully won his honors. The entire class stood uncovered as President Durkee solemnly conferred the post-morten distinction upon their departed fellow-student. Four young men were given special mention and honor because of their military service, and financial consideration will be given them by the university that they may later gain the degree they desire. This class was presented for honors by Dean Kelly Miller. In the other departments the following awards of degrees were (Continued on sixth page.) NEWS NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE.

He met Dr. Curtis a few days ago and 'congratulated him on the petition of the East Washington Citizens' meeting, to which his name was attached as one of the signers. Dr. Johnson informed him that the Board of Education was certainly glad to have received it. Johnson, no doubt, meant himself and the white members of the board.

DISTRICT BASEBALL LEAGUE Monday—Washington Athletics 11, Holy Name Guild 5. The Guild team surprised the Athletics by making five runs in the first inning. They held their lead until the fourth inning, when the Athletics tightened up for a batting rally. Through the remaining eight innings the Guild was held scoreless, while the Athletics added eleven. The Athletic team has worked under difficulties, owing to injuries of several of the players Wednesday—Naval Reserves 5; Y. M. C. A. 3. Manager Ford and his team won a name in a day by flogging the Y. M. C. A. team on Monday in one of the best played games of the season. Everybody knew the "Y" team would win, and they themselves were overconfident. The Reserves took an early lead in the game, and though the "Y" gave three successive and threatening rallies in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, they were unable to catch up. The hitting of the "Y" team was poor, and the fielding of the Reserves was exceptional. THURSDAY—Naval Gun Factory 14, Washington Athletics 7. A great crowd turned out to see this great game, and it happened to be a great face. The Navy boys simply walked away with the Athletics, the score at the beginning of the eighth inning being 13 to 0. The Athletics rallied to prevent a shutout and made seven runs in the eighth, and the side retired with the bases crowded, crying for a man to hit. SATURDAY—Holy Name Guild 9, Y. M. C. A. 0. This game was forfeited to the Holy Name Guild, as the "Y" team did not appear for play on scheduled time. This was the first game in the "won" column for the Guild. *** Monday—Naval Reserves 1, Naval Gun Factory 6. The Reserves held the Gun Factory team to what should have been a 2 to 1 score. Fowler of the Reserves pitched a great game and gave but a few scattered hits. Three errors by the second baseman cost the Reserves exactly four runs. With this exception, it was a good; fast game. Manager Ford received an injury on the hand. It is not very serious, and he will be back in the game soon. Standing of the Clubs. Teams. W. L. Pct.

Thus, trumpeted a 162-word editorial in The Crisis July, 1918. The blast was sharp, short and awakening. "Let us, while this war lasts, forget our special grievances and close ranks" was the chief note. It was a call to halt—to temporary halt in a demand for the adjustment of long-existing grievances. Conditions that we "halt" and "sacrifice" are just as weighty in 1919 as they were in 1918—even more so. Halt in breeding dissensions among ourselves. Halt in clutching at each other's throats. Sacrifice the last particle of inordinate desire or selfish ambition calculated to menace race solidarity in this the most critical period in our history since emancipation.

He will be, of short stature, intelligent appearance, quick to anger, but of good character and of high learning. You will be happy for about three years; after that time, through some family misfortune, you will suffer for about eighteen months. If you are strong in faith you will come out all right, otherwise you will drift away from your family and H V J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z MARS AURORA VENUS EARTH SUN DELLSO SATURN URANUS URANUS thereby suffer longer. Do not worry about the far-off future; do the best you can at the present and enjoy life and improve yourself every day. You have a good, long life ahead of you, so be contented. August 28th—You will travel a few days after your birthday and make many friends, and several changes are also indicated for the better. The man will not marry you, but the time will come before the year is up and you will marry and better your condition. You will not have any children for about seven years; after that period you will be blessed with a son who will take after you a great deal, with the exception he will not be so foolishly good-hearted, and he will not let people walk over him as you do. Protect your dearest interests and learn how to defend your rights. *** February 3rd—Your partner in business is your opposite, and when he is unlucky it also causes you troubles. Never enter business again in partnership with such type of a man. He is not really evil in his intentions, no matter how evil he talks; but his stars are evil to your welfare; hence, always be advised first before you enter another partnership. Your business will not prosper this year, in the present location, so do not spend all your money, because you will get into want. \*\*\* September 11th—You are born to be great—that is why you often feel high above others. Your present is not favorable, and though some people think you are rich, yet you are often in distress. You have some real hard times ahead of you—for about two years—after that time you may look forward for something better; meanwhile do not worry; pray, work hard and do not neglect your health; enjoy life as you go along until the better time will come. Some money and property comes to you by death. November 14th—You have nearly lost your life by fire; again that dangr it is before you. Are you very careful? You should be so, particularly about the middle of July; there is also danger of a serious loss. Your life later on will be very good and prosperous as well as happy. You will marry again; the man will have a mole or mark on his neck and talk in a very slow, reflecting manter; he will make you happy. **** Address all communications to 1728 Seventh street northwest, Washington, D. C. PATRIOTISM PRAISED. Tanning Plant Executive Gives Great Credit to Colored Employees for Services in War and Peace. A striking tribute to the patriotism of colored Americans and to their usefulness in industry is paid them by an executive officer of a large North Carolina tannery, where 50 per cent or more of the help is composed of colored employees. The views of the tannery official are thus expressed in a communication sent to Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor: "To say that the work of the colored men is satisfactory would be and went to work. We have tried not only to make room for those who were in our employ but also for a great number who were not in our employ before entering the service: "There cannot be too much said of the colored men who stayed with us, during the war. We purchased at the tannery $66,000 in bonds, putting it mildly. We have always considered their work equal to that of the others and have paid them accordingly. "Of the fifty-two employees from this plant who entered the service, twenty-two were colored. Of these a number have returned, and the pleasing part of their return was that they immediately came to us notes and stamps, and when it is considered that the employees are 50 per cent colored, it is evident that the colored men stood right back of their colored brothers in the service. As we were 90 per cent government producers, the colored men's work was the foundation of victory, and equal credit is due him for his services in the industrial field. His contribution to the Red Cross and other war work drives was very creditable; lu the United War Work drive every man in the tannery donated a day's work, and in the Fourth Liberty Loan every man bought a bond." The colored employees of the plant have recently formed a band, which made its first appearance during the Victory Loan drive. CLARK STATION. Sunday afternoon, May 25, was a great day at the church of Rev. Joseph Lee, Clark Station, Va. The occasion was a pew rally under the auspices of Club No. 3, Miss Eunice Pinkett, captain. Dr. H. W. Ball, deacon and superintendent of the Sabbath School, rendered music. Papers were read by Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. M. B. Grier, Mrs. L. W. Pollard, and there was an address by Editor W. Calvin Chase. The choir, is under the direction of Dr. Ball, is doing nicely, and the workers in this church have a system that cannot fail—different from any other church in the country or cities. Miss Pinkett is a fine church worker. A BACKWARD STEP. No right-thinking man or woman who read the article in The Star of Monday afternoon, under the heading, "Would Change System in Colored Schools," could do so without being filled with anxiety for the children who are in the public schools. The proposed plan as outlined by Dr. F. H. Hough, of the Minor Normal School, is to give more attention to domestic science and domestic arts, grouped under the subject of Industrial Arts, and if put into operation, the new plan will reduce history, English, geography, mathematics and applied physics. History is one of the most important subjects of the present-day schools. Its value has been fully emphasized during the present emergency, and it will not take a college graduate to see with half an eye the intellectual value of a thorough knowledge of history. It is one of the most important subjects in the development of the memory. And there certainly can not be any cutting of English, for of all subjects that is most needed in our schools of today is a working knowledge of English, and this fact was very clearly shown during the period of the war which has just come to a close by the civil service examinations of many of our young people. In the Northern schools, and especially in those of New York State, the slogan is "English, English, English." It is not subordinated to any subject in the curriculum. Neither should there be any cutting of arithmetic, for without a good working knowledge of arithmetic, one is not able to calculate correctly. In fact, there should be no cutting of any of the subjects mentioned in the article; for if there is, we will have a better educated parentage than their children. No race which has been enslaved and then given its freedom can afford to be less developed than any other group of people connected with the present civilization. And to carry out the plan which has been suggested, by Dr. Hough in his article in The Star would be to set a race of people back at least ten yeas. We need to go forward. Every boy and every girl ought to be taught the essential things of life, whether he or she has to do them for a living or not, but every boy and every girl should receive the education which is laid down in the curriculum for boys and girls of the best school of the land. Anything less than the will cripple us for life in the development of a strong and respectable race of people. The Columbia Conservatory recital was held. Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Full report will be made next week. --- --- LEGAL NOTICES. CHARLES P. FORD, Attorney. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Holding Probate Court—No. 25788, Administration.
