Mrs. Harriett Cole, who resides at 47 Massachusetts avenue northwest near Tennallytown, was accosted by a white man who works at or near the American University and asked if she could do some washing for his wife. Mrs. Cole requested the man to bring the washing to her home or let his wife call if she wanted to see her. The man said that his wife didn't live very far from her house, and if she would go he would drive her there. Mrs. Cole consented to accompany him to his wife's house, and while he was driving in the supposed direction of his alleged home, he suddenly turned into a woods beyond Camp Leach, near the American University. Mrs. Cole remarked to him that he was going in the PARENTS' LEAGUE Miss Florence M.

There was a mild sensation at the meeting of the Parents' League last Monday, night in the Zion Metropolitan Church, when Miss Florence M. Hunt was introduced and delivered the following address: Miss Hunt's Address. Mrs. President, Members of the Executive Committee, Attorneys, and Members of the Parents' League: I feel very proud to be able to come before you tonight in order to help keep up the encouragement which you continue to have given from the many different speakers who address you each week so that you might not grow weary or tired in the great fight which we have before us, which is to remove Mr. Roscoe, C. Bruce, and all of his emissaries from the public schools of Washington, D. C. There may be many times when we differ in opinion as to the best method or course to pursue in carrying out our purpose; there may also be many dissensions which arise from this vast variation of opinions; but I want to tell you tonight that whenever such variations of opinions do arise, let us always bear in mind the one great big goal toward which we have been steadily working for the past six months, and remember that to draw out from the Parents' League only means that Mr. Bruce has had one more supporter added to his cause. Whether you work for Mr. Bruce directly or indirectly, the effect is just the same. There is no state of neutrality in the moral issue for which purpose the Parents' League organized. You have either got to be for morality and righteousness, for which the Parents' League stands, or for in- Inve The books for sub The Washington Bee wrong direction and asked to be allowed to get out of the buggy. The buggy came to a standstill, and Mrs. Cole was addressed in language too vulgar to publish. Mrs. Cole broke away from the white man and ran. He got into his buggy and started after her, but the zigzag manner in which she ran through, the woods made it impossible for her alleged assailant to catch her. After she had gotten into the main road, her father saw her running and quite exhausted. He ran to her, and she related her story. They both went to the police, and a warrant was issued for the alleged assailant and placed in the hands of the substation police near Teinallytown; but up to the time The Bee went to press no arrest had been made, although the man is well known in that section of the city by the police, and up to the present time no bloodhounds have been secured, no posse has yet been in pursuit and the neighborhood is in a normal condition, no riots having threatened. morality and unrighteousness, for which all those opposed to the Parents' League stand. It used to be my daily prayer that when I became grown that I could fill a position in which I could be of the most use to the community. I went to a convention (I think it was a Baptist convention) at Convention Hall about ten years ago, at which I heard an address from Mrs. Layton, of Philadelphia, a girls' rescuer, which address deeply impressed me. When I came home I thought that I would like to be a girls' rescuer, also, as I knew of no more useful way in which to serve the public. In Mrs. Layton's address she said, "You, people, go to church and sing your hymns, come home, and think that you have done all that is necessary for the uplift of humanity; but you haven't even begun." She then told of the conditions among the colored working girls in Philadelphia, coming up from the South, which I had not, and many other people had not, thought of up until that time. She told the audience that she went twice a day to meet the boats coming from the South in order to find out the number of colored girls coming to Philadelphia in search of work, so that she might direct them to a safe place to dwell in, and look after them while there, and see that they got work in the proper kind of homes. She told of white men who were appointed as agents to go through the South to interest colored girls in the South to come to Philadelphia and other Northern cities to obtain work. Some of these agents were sincere, others were not, and often when the girls landed at the wharves they were met by Jersey farmers and agents on this end who took them to disreputable houses. I became so interested in what Mrs. Layton had said that I later visited her in Philadelphia, and found that she daily met two Southern boats, one at 6 o'clock in the morning and the other at 11 o'clock at night. Now; my friends, when you stop to think of the hours at which these boats landed in Philadelphia, you can plainly see that it would take someone who had real love for the work who would get out of bed every morning at 5 o'clock to meet a 6 o'clock boat, and then again the same night, to be at the wharf at 11 o'clock. The policemen at the wharves worked in conjunction with Mrs. Layton, and directed every colored female passenger, as she landed from the boat, to a small house near the end of the wharf, so that Mrs. Layton could interview each one of them first, before any of these white agents or Jersey farmers, in order to learn through what source they had been booked to come to Philadelphia. If Mrs. Layton considered that any of the addresses which these girls were directed to were not the proper places for them to work in or live in, she would then redirect them to a home for colored girls which was established in Philadelphia specifically for this purpose. In this way she succeeded in defeating the plans of these infamous agents and Jersey farmers. At that time Mrs. Layton saved from destruction about ninety girls a month, as this was the average number which she met at the wharves in Philadelphia about ten years ago. I judge she is now meeting about 190 girls each month, or probably more. In selecting in my mind this course in life, that of being a girl's rescuer, I next thought that I would have to have some financial means for support in order to carry on this noble work. I considered that the most uplifting vocation in life outside of the ministry was to become a school teacher. This vocation would afford me the necessary field to carry on such rescue work, as well as the necessary funds for support. Thus I start out to become a school teacher, hoping by so doing to be of most use in the community, which object had been my daily ardent prayer. The school teacher's vocation is next most important to the minister's; in fact, the two go hand in hand; they cannot easily be separated. A school teacher and a minister should be left free to discharge their duties as they consider best from the standpoint of their education, training and judgment. Both of them should have the backbone and courage to stand up for a principle, regardless of criticism from opponents and the wishes of officials over them who may be desirous of crushing the truth and floating that which is false whenever the truth happens to collide with some counterfeit which they desire to put out on the public. But, unfortunately, in our present school system in Washington, and also in some school systems outside of Washington, a teacher is not permitted to take an open stand for which she or he believes according to her or his judgment is right, and continue to remain in their positions as teachers. They are compelled to take a stand for the policy of the officials over them or keep quiet. Some of them who would like to remain quiet are sought and forced to take some open stand. And under such force each of you can easily decide which stand a teacher who wanted to hold her or his position would take. I was not successful in securing a position in the public schools of Washington, which at the time of my bitter disappointment was practically death to me; but, since my contact with the many school officials with whom I had to come in communication when working to try to secure this position, which was deliberately stolen from me, through the politics involved, which embraced a fight between officials and teachers, and I, as a pupil, was used as the football, and had to bear the brunt of the fight, being the only one who really suffered, I have many times thanked my Heavenly Father that I did not get a position in the public schools of Washington, for if I were a teacher in the public schools' of Washington today I would not be able to serve the public in the most useful way, as I would not be able to speak to the Parents' League tonight, and I consider the most useful way in, which I can serve the public in Washington City at the present time is to lend all my strength in trying to assist the Parents' League to remove Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, and all of his emissaries, from the public schools of Washington. And in lending my strength to such a cause I am still doing "girls' rescue work," as I planned I would ten years ago, after hearing Mrs. Layton's speech in Convention Hall, for the object of the formation of the Parents' League was primarily to save the young girls in our public schools and in our community from human vultures, such as Moens and the infamous agents and Jersey farmers which Mrs. Layton told about in the convention. There are many such vultures in our midst. WHITLAW APARTMENT HOTEL WHOLEWARD APARTMENT HOUSE GO UNTOWN GREAT 30-DAY. COMPAIGN Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, Washington's foremost financial leader, having built a beautiful home for the members of his race, is encouraged by the past support given him and is desirous of having financial assistance from his people in a greater movement. Mr. Lewis purposes building two more modern apartments, which will house hundreds more of our people. The conditions prevalent now will get no better, but will continue to grow worse, and it is our duty to prepare to meet the emergency. The safest way to do this is by lending financial support to the Whitelaw Apartment House Company. Washington can boast of many Negro leaders, but John W. Lewis is the only one who has delivered the goods. His record for having and the Parents' League is not going to stop work until it has singled out each one of these human vultures. I will not have time tonight, but next Monday I am going to tell you something of these human vultures in the high schools in this city. Again, I fear that I would not have kept my position as a teacher in Washington very long had I received one, because I, like the president of our organization, am always going to speak out for what I think is right, and at all times, regardless of whom it may displease, and this is what a school teacher in Washington cannot do, nor can school teachers in some other cities speak out for the right at all times, either. There are many organizations and systems where people are working in which none of the employees dare to speak out for what they consider is right; but the day is coming fast when things will be changed; we are dawning on a new era throughout the whole world, and the public schools in Washington, along with this movement, are also undergoing a-revolution, with the Parents' League at the wheel. When this new era has dawned our teachers, to quote the common expression used by both pupils and teachers, will not done something is his greatest asset His has not been all mouth music he has produced. The race has invested money in concerns of other races, and The Bee contends that now is the time for it to fight its own battles and stop looking to others for help. The Negro must meet conditions as they are and with his resources he can and must do so. When the Negro race owns and controls more property, his chances for demanding and securing his civil rights will be greatly enhanced. Look at the magnificent building at the corner of Thirteenth and T streets northwest, and think how many such structures could be now erected in this city if the colored people had started years ago to do what necessity now is compelling. It is up to each and every race lover to lend his moral and financial support to the movement for better housing conditions for our people. All cannot be leaders, but many car have to continue to say that "black is white" and "white is black," as they have been accustomed to having to say, but, on the contrary, they will be able to stand up like brave and courageous women and men, and look an official squarely in the face, and tell him, or her, whoever the official may be, that "I intend to take the open stand which the dictates of my judgment direct me to take, and that I consider any official who does not take such a stand is not competent to hold a position over teachers who have been appointed to train the (Continued on fourth page.)

Seeing as we do the result of a small effort, let us assume and assist the greater one and erect two apartment houses as our contribution to the end of the world's greatest war. The Bee urges all of its readers to attend the greatest financial mass meeting ever held in Washington on Wednesday night, October 1, 1919, at the Y. M. C. A. Building, Twelfth street northwest, and also most emphatically urges the lovers of the race to subscribe to some of the stock, which will be placed on the market that evening for the erection of the other two apartment buildings. We must finish the job. Other meetings will be held from time to time throughout the entire city. These meetings will be addressed by noted speakers.

This makes the second case this summer in Washington in which the story of an assault has been given wide publicity, only to have it discovered later that there was no assault at all. This particular case attracted special attention because it occurred while the race riots were going on and helped to intensify the feeling at the time. Later on the officials of the association were advised that there were certain suspicious circumstances connected with the woman's story. They immediately brought the matter to the attention of the authorities and requested an investigation. The result was announced by Maj. Pullman in a letter to the secretary of the association a few days ago, in which he stated that it was the "consensus of opinion that the story is not true." PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.

Bitter Root.—This plant is indigenous to the United States, growing in dry, sandy soils, and in the borders of woods from Maine to Florida, flowering from May to August. When any part of the plant is wounded, a milky juice exudes. In conjunction with other roots, it makes a splendid laxative and is a wonderful tonic for the stomach and intestines, and is also useful in cleansing the blood of scrofulous humors. Bitter-Sweet.——This is a mild narcotic, diuretic, alterative, diaphoretic and discutient. It is serviceable in cutaneous diseases, syphilitic disrheumatic and cachectic affections, ill conditioned ulcers, scrofula, inaunations, sores, glandular swellings; it is also serviceable for leprosy, tetter and all kindred skin diseases. Blue Flag.—It has a peculiar odor, augmented by rubbing or pulverizing, and a disagreeable taste. The root should be sliced transversely, dried and placed in dark vessels well closed, and placed in dark places; it will then preserve, its virtue, for a long time. This is one among our valuable medicinal plants, capable of extensive use. It is a great remedy for chronic hepatic, renal and spleen affections, and when combined with mandrake, poke, black cohosh and other roots, makes a remedy that can not be surpassed by drugs for the treatment of the blood and blood infectious diseases. Blue: Vervain.—This grows plentifully in our country along roadsides and in dry, grassy fields, flodering from June to September. It is a great tonic, expectorant, sudorific and antispasmodic. It is a great antidote for poke poisoning. It will overcome constitutional debility, cold, fevers, will improve the circulation; it will cast out gravel, worms and stones; it is great to overcome coughs, wheezing, shortness of breath, giddiness, falling sickness and fits. Black Cohosh. — Boiling water takes up the properties of the roots only partly, but alcohol extracts the entire virtue. This is a very active root and useful in many diseases. It is splendid for scolera, convulsions, nervous excitability, delirium tremens, painful conditions in the body, sexual weakness of man and uterine trouble of woman. In small doses it overcomes quivering and palpitation of the heart. It is a great root when prepared properly and used judiciously. (To be continued next week.) MAJ. PATTERSON HELPED FRIEND BY WITHDRAWAL After the lapse of six years it has just leaked out why Maj. Adam E. Patterson, then of Oklahoma, was not made Register of the Treasury to succeed J. C. Napier. Maj. Patterson, then a practicing attorney in Oklahoma, when he found his cake was all dough, wrote President Wilson a letter requesting that his name be withdrawn. For this he was censured greatly by colored people, they not knowing the real reason, and the major, not vouch-safing any, packed his grip and left Washington. But the facts are these: Senator Gore was responsible for Patterson's appointment, and the major had the support of Oklahoma's entire congressional delegation, excepting "Cockle Burr" Bill Murray, Congressman-at-Large. A syndicate of Oklahoma capitalists were trying to bring about Senator Gore's defeat for re-election to the Senate, and for purely selfish purposes. Congressman Murray was ambitious to be Senator Gore's successor and quite easily became the willing tool of that braying ass from Mississippi, to defeat Patterson through Gore, or to defeat Gore and Patterson, preferably the latter. With Patterson's nomination pending before the Senate, Murray returned to Oklahoma to work up sentiment against Gore and used the fact that Gore had recommended a Negro for office. Using this anti-Negro argument against Gore aroused sentiment against him. The President's currency bill was pending, too, at that time, and he wanted every vote to pass it. The situation for both Gore and the currency bill was bad, and it was then that Maj. Patterson was called into conference at Washington and told of the embarrassment his nomination was causing both Senator Gore and the administration; told also that he could clear up the situation by withdrawing his name. Since Senator Gore was responsible for his appointment, and since Senator Gore was ready to stand by him, since he had given his word, even though it meant defeat for the blind Senator, Maj. Patterson felt that the only honorable thing for him to do, to save a friend, Senator Gore, from defeat, was to withdraw, which he did, but not to save the face of the administration, as it was generally believed at the time. "Cockle Burr" Bill Murray, collaborating with Vardaman, was ready to go to any limit to defeat Gore and secure the senatorship from Oklahoma for himself. Patterson's withdrawal spelt defeat for Vardaman's tool, "Cockle Burr" Bill Murray. NOT ALLOWED TO PARADE. Four Colored Regiments Cited by French, and Yet They Did Not March. Demanding even-handed justice for the Negro in the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement that the only four regiments of the American Expeditionary Forces to be cited for bravery and to receive the French Croix de Guerre were colored—the 369th, the 370th, 371st and, 372d. The statement is made on the authority of J. Howard Durkee, president of the Howard University, and is corroborated by Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War. Besides the four colored regiments to be cited for bravery, a battalion of the 367th—the original "Buffaloes"—trained at Yaphank, L. I., received French citation. THE BEE COMMENDED. Today my nephew sent me a paper called the Washington Bee, which I read with care and which I like because it tells so much of our colored race and what we are doing. The papers here tell nothing of the colored race except where they have committed a crime or some meanness. I cannot see anything of what our colored soldiers did over in France. It seems that the whites did it all, according to what we read in the papers. Please find enclosed a money order for $1 for a subscription for six months. I am in the hospital, and if I should live and like the paper, I will continue to take it, as the colored people of the South don't hear much that is true out here at all, except where a Negro is accused or stealing or committing rape. You will please forward subscription to G. W. McLeod, P. O. Lock Box 27, Blenheim, S. C. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

When the National Race Congress convenes in this city next month there should be less annual sermons and prayer meetings. What the Race Congress should do is to speak out and cease so much praying and singing. This Congress should tell the Nation what the colored race needs, what it wants and what it intends to have. We want less psalm singing and more action. We don't want too many speeches, and those speeches should not commence at Genesis and end at Revelations. The Bee is making this suggestion to President Jernagin and his executive committee. The constitution doesn't call for an annual sermon; hence, if such is on the program, as it has been published, it should be eliminated. Above everything, the Race Congress needs a new constitution and by-laws. This meeting will be one of the most imposing and one of the most representative in the history of the colored race.

(Continued from first page.) minds and mould the characters of youths." These are the words which I have told officials over me, and more than once I have had occasion to speak these words, and to more than one official I have had occasion to speak these words. I want you to know that I am not advocating for teachers in Washington to do what I would not do myself. I am not like those ministers in Washington who stand in the pulpit each Sunday preaching to their congregations to be brave and courageous and live moral and upright lives, and when the occasion presents itself for them to cast a vote on these same issues, "their votes are cast with the man who can put the most grease in the palms of their hands," rather than with this brave, courageous, upright being whom they have been so zealously lauding. Throughout my entire career, and I think that my friends who happen to be here tonight can verify my statement, I have always spoken out for what I believed was right, regardless of whom it affected. Perhaps this may be the reason I did not receive a position in the public schools in Washington. This is certainly the reason I am not teaching in the public school ni Prince George County, Maryland. Any of you who look up the record which I left behind in Maryland will see that throughout all of my rights with officials. I never cringed once. I stuck to the truth and the right every time, and each time I won. When the fights continued to grow each year in both number and intensity, and after anterviewing a head official, I learned that these fights were never going to cease—that the position which I was occupying could not be held by a teacher who would dare to disagree with the base policy practiced in the school by the colored supervising principal, who occupied in the Prince George County schools a position similar to the one occupied by Mr. Bruce in the Washington schools—I then sought another position. Consequently, I went into the Government service; and enjoyed a most pleasant and successful term of service for six months, until a colored man from Georgia, who was not in my building, and whom I did not know even existed, but who had heard of my being chief of a division, went to the chief clerk of the office and for six weeks tried to induce this chief clerk to take me, from this position and place me under him; where he was working in a cellar of a building wrapping up medical journals to go out to the soldiers at the various camps. At the expiration of six weeks this chief clerk finally consented to do as this colored man from Georgia had been imploring him to do, as this man from Georgia stated, that it did not harm our race one bit for the whites to segregate us—that is was helpful to us to be segregated. Turning to me, he said these words: "You might have known that a good thing like you had couldn't last; why, whoever heard of a colored woman being head over white women; such a thing as this is not known in Georgia!" to the wishes of this colored man from Georgia. Being entirely ignorant of what was going on in the office concerning me, I had no idea what the transfer meant until I reached my new office room, which was the cellar where this man from Georgia wrapped bundles, and I was introduced to my new boss. There was no typewriting in my new position to do, which appointment as a certified typist I had received from the Civil Service. Commission on going into this office, and which work I had always done during the entire six months I had working in the office; so the colored gentleman from Georgia suggested that I go down into the cellar to count the books which he was supposed to wrap. I told this man from Georgia and the white official over him that I was appointed into that office as a certified typist to work in an office room, not to count books in a cellar. The white official told me not to go into the cellar, but to sit in this kitchen until some work came for me to do. What followed, to use the words of The Bee, "is too revolting" to tell you of. Immediately on perceiving that my new situation was one of embarrassment and humiliation, I protested to the head officials of the office, and asked to be transferred back to the division where I formerly was. I was entreated by some of my friends, including two Washington school teachers, not to protest of the conditions, but to try to bear them and keep quiet. One of these teachers told me that I must remember that I was only a "nigger woman," and that to protest in an office where there were all whites would simply cause my discharge, and then I wouldn't have any job at all. My answer to this teacher was: "I do not want any job if I have to endure embarrassment and humiliation to hold one, and I will never stop protesting until my situation is changed." Thus I continued to protest, both verbally and in written document. I did not fail to tell the chief clerk of my office, and also the major who was chief of the administrative affairs in the office, just I thought of their actions, to which they politely informed me that if I did not like my new place that I could resign or be transferred to another office; but that from now henceforth this new organization would be the policy of the office in which I was. Well, I did not resign, nor was I transferred to another office, nor did I stop protesting. I received my transfer to another division in this same office, however, although it was supposed to be against the new organization of the office, according to the statement of the chief clerk and of the major over him. I am not segregated, either, and I am still typewriting in the office, and the colored man from Georgia who caused me so much trouble and sorrow, as Mr. Bruce has caused so many girls and teachers in this city, has been discharged from the office, and with him has gone his segregation policy which he advocated for me to the chief clerk as the best disposition to make of colored women in Government offices. If you look in the files of the SurgeonGeneral's office, in the War Department, you will find my charges in black and white against this man, and you will be convinced that I am not standing here before you advocating for you to do something which I am afraid to do myself; but, on the contrary, I am only advocating for you to do what I have already done through my entire career—that is, to protest against injustices imposed upon me, and by which protest I have met with success. And this is what each and every one of us have got to make up our minds we are going to do if we expect to acquire a standard for ourselves in this world either as individuals, or as a race. Always protest against injustices, never submit to them. I am proud to tell you that I have been in four big fights against systems. So you see, my friends, I am an old veteran-at-fighting crooked systems. This is why I feel so much at home in the Parents' League, and I expect to continue to fight anything which I know is crooked as long as I live and keep my sane mind. If there had been more individual fights such as mine there would have been no cause for the one big fight with which we are battling now. Because an individual has not had, one of these fights is no virtue on the part of that individual, for there is hardly one of us who has reached the stage of maturity who, if we have not had to fight for justice at some time, should not have fought for justice at some willing to accept any compromise where justice or freedom is at stake. The first of the four fights which I encountered with crooked systems was in the Washington public schools. This fight I lost. My second and third fights were in the public school system of Prince George County, Maryland. Both of these fights I won. My fourth fight was in the War Department, which I just told you of. This fight I also won, and all other fights from now on I expect to win, because I am going to be just like the Parents' League—"I am never going to give up until I have won." I intend in the future, to always wear my opponent out, instead of letting my opponent wear me out. My first fight, which was with Mr. Bruce, gave me the experience with which to win my second fight, which was in Maryland, and the experience from my first and second fights gave me the knowledge with which to win my third fight, and the experience from my first, second and third fights gave me still more knowledge with which to win my fourth fight. And so, from now on, with all of my experiences and added knowledge in public fights, I expect to always win every battle in the future. I always believed that had I followed my own mind and not the minds of conservative friends, I would have even succeeded in my first fight which was with Mr. Bruce. Having been defeated the first time, I would not take a chance of being defeated the second time, so, instead of again accepting the advice of conservative friends, I acted according to the judgment of my own mind, and since relying wholly on my own mind, I have been so victorious that I would even be willing to go back again to my first battle and start the fight all over again with Mr. Bruce. So Mr. Bruce had better watch out; he may suffer a defeat yet, even if he does not think that the Parents' League can defeat him. We want to produce more courageous men and women from our schools in Washington, and with the present school system women and men of such calibre cannot be produced, for there is a general tendency to intimidate the girls and boys coming through our schools when they dare to stand up for certain principles, and to dub them as being antagonistic to the system whenever any of them attempt to establish any of these principles. This tendency begins to manifest itself when the pupil enters the high school, and it reaches its crisis in the Normal School, and is overflowing in the graduate by time she or he receives an appointment. Next week I am going to tell you of some serious conditions which I have observed in the high schools of Washington. It will take up too much time to tell you now, but when you have heard these things you will see that we have much to do in the way of reconstruction after the fall of the present school system, as it is now carried on. So, while we have been together these past six months and fought so valiantly together, let us continue to stick together, it matters no what, variation of opinions we might have as to the methods pursued to obtain this end. There is but one great goal shining before us, to which the Parents' League is steadily steering, and although the road is very rough at times, and the winds grow very high, we must keep right on, for we are bound to win. We cannot turn back now, for we are too far out at sea; to retract even one step would mean total destruction to our entire crew and to our race as well; so I implore you, members of the Parents' League, to press right on and never give up the fight. Always bear in mind the one big issue at stake, which is to remove Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce, and 'all of his emissaries, from the public school system of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Murray Explains. Mrs. Murray next explained the meaning of the Junior High School introduced into our public schools, and warned the people in supporting such a high school, for it meant nothing more than an euphonious name for the fallen vocational school and fallen pre-vocational school of Mr. Bruce's. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." Mr. Bruce had led to the drinking fountain the people of his own race, every time the white people told him to do so, and the failures of the plans of these whites who do not believe in a higher education for colored people has been caused every time by the colored people, themselves refusing to drink at the fountain prepared for them by these white people through Mr. Bruce. All of you who intend to send your children further than the eighth grade, send them to Dunbar; give them all the education which they can take. Mr. Bruce himself does not believe in a vocational training school. He had sent his son to Dunbar. Mrs. Cook has a son 18 years of age who graduated from Dunbar and has now gone off to college. If Dunbar gives the education which Mr. Bruce and Mrs. Cook consider best for their children, and the white people on the Board of Education consider best for their children, then you should consider it the best for your children. They all consider the higher education best for their children, but the vocational MAKE BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR AT HOME We are offering formulas, with full instructions for making at home with ordinary household utensils, delicious, creamy lager beer (not near beer); also fine flavored wine and mellow, smooth liquor; and don't forget that any one of them will have all, the kick you want, if made according to the simple directions.

W. training best for your children—the children of the masses. If we support and patronize this Junior High School we will soon have no more Dunbar High School. I heard Mr. Taft, president, say some time ago, that if the people of Washington wanted secondary education for their children, they should pay for it, that the Government should not be made to pay for it. For some time the Southern Congressmen have been trying to prohibit the appropriation of a secondary education for the people of Washington. If your Dunbar High School should slip away from you, you know what a predicament we would be in. Your children would not have education sufficient to earn them a living. So, while you have Dunbar High School, let us keep it, and do not let it slip away from us through some false interpretation of a Junior High School. "I want to tell the Parents' League," continued Mrs. Murray, "that I have been hearing some glowing reports from the Capitol concerning what some of the Congressmen intend to do for the colored people, and these Congressmen say that the Parents' League is the only organization of colored people, which is known to them. The highest tribute possible which could have been paid to us in the remarks of that white lady of whom Mrs. Tanner spoke last week, who said that, if the masses of the poorer colored people in the alleys have arisen up and organized themselves to fight the immorality of the higher class of colored people who are teaching their children, then there is C.

"At Franklin-School last Thursday Mr. Van Schaick announced that there could not be a meeting on the Bruce case, since there were only three members of the board present," Mrs. Murray said. She later learned that at that, same meeting Miss Genic Wormley, assistant directress of primary grades, was appointed to succeed Mrs. Nan Jackson Myers, when there were only three board members present, and not five members, which number it takes to make a quorum. Immediately on learning of this appointment, Mrs. Murray wrote a letter to Mr. Van Schaick protesting against the appointment of Miss Wormley to position as directress of kindergartens on the ground that such appointment was irregular.

MRS. BLAKE ENTERTAINS. Last Tuesday evening the palatial home of Mr. and Mr& Hayward Blake, 523 U street northwest, was the scene of one of Washington's most fashionable house parties given in honor of Miss Alice Letcher and Miss Marie Hamilton, of Pittsburgh. Many out-of-town visitors attended, and everyone had a most enjoyable evening. The hostess' gown was a striking garnet crepe de chine. Among those present were: Mrs. Josephine Butcher, wife of Dr. Butcher; Mr. Gilbert Bean, of Charleston, W. Va., cousin of Mme. Blake; Miss F. Letcher, Miss M. Smothers, Miss Mary Cheyney, Miss Ruth Cornell, Mme. Gray, wife of Dr. Gray, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Miss F. Burgess; Mr. Stewart, Mr. Smothers, Mr. R. DeReef Miller, Mr. Williams and Messrs William and H. Bradley, of Tennessee. Mrs. Blake is by far one of the most charming young hostesses in the Nation's Capital. The Citizens' Improvement Association of this place held its bazaar for five days in the beautiful grove owned by Mr. Robert L. Smith. It was a unique and highly enjoyable occasion. Both the social and financial success was great. We were very highly entertained Sunday in the Grand Central Park by one of the most successful and intelligent men of our race, in the person of Mr. Harris, of Missouri, now occupying the position of clerk in the Senate. We may well claim ourselves fortunate to be honored by an address by one who for an hour held his audience spellbound, without a single break or tremor of weariness. We can see with broader vision the necessity of Americanization and what it really is. A short program of welcome was rendered by the home folks under the direction of the Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. Chriseine Thornton, president. Mrs. E. T. Morten read a very appropriate paper; quartette, Mr. W. R. Hyson. Mr. G. W. Ferguson, Mrs. Cora Ferguson, Mrs. Anita Snowden; other patriotic selections were sung. Mr. Harris was accompanied by Mr. W. T. Ferguson, of Washington. Dr. E. T. Morten conveyed these gentle men in his automobile, thereby avoiding the inconveniences of the poor car service.

All alleged Negro leaders are responsible for immoral conditions and the lynching of the Negroes. They are mere parasites on the race. I will never stop haranguing the zulu until they debate with me. Someone must wake such infinitesimal monkeys up; I will stage oratorical battles. This challenge is free for all alleged Negroes. Come out or stop robbing the illiterate. The white people of the South are the colored people's friends. But the educated Negro leaders are chemically made up wrong, and their chemistry never propounded chemicals to produce morality and race pride impartially.

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 poutade; 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 unequaled 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.

HAT IN HAND, MOTON BETRAYS THE RACE The following article was sent out from Tuskegee for the Associated Press and was run in a thousand white papers: Negro Leader Says Blacks Alone Keep Race Hatred Alive. Keep Race Hatred Alive. Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 3.—R. R. Moton, Booker T. Washington's successor as head of Tuskegee Institute, declared in a statement today regarding recent race riots in North and South that it was difficult to understand why there should be so much apparent suspicion and bitterness on the part of both the white and Negro races. "I have never known the colored people to have more intense feelings toward the white people than at the present," Moton said, "and I have never known a time when there was less reason. I never knew a time when the white people of the South, not only the leading white people, but the average white man, were more anxious than at present to be OUR NEW HOME PORD COLLEGE PENDLETON AVE.

RACE CONGRESS TO HEAR EMINENT SPEAKERS Vigorous Program Outlined for the "Suffrage Session" in Defense of Constitutional Rights of America's 12,000,000 Negro Citizens—Dr. Jernagin to Tell of His Observations in France — Thrilling Messages from Over the Sea. All is in readiness for the fourth annual, or "suffrage session" of the National Race Congress of America, called to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in this city October 7 to 11. Reports from every section of the country indicate that the attendance will be the largest and most representative that has, yet gathered on this continent to consider the welfare of the Negro people. Enthusiastic rallies have been held in the various communities, and the local units organized by churches, fraternities, business and professional leagues and "conferences have elected delegates who will come to the Nation's Capital October 7 to enter their protest against mob violence, lynching, political and civic proscription and to emphasize the necessity of the ballot as the primary safeguard to full and complete American citizenship for the Negro. What the Congress Will Demand. Among the demands of the Race Congress are: The abolition of the jim-crow car system on railroads; the abandonment of discriminatory regulations and segregation; fair trial by jury and a recognition of the Negro's right to sit on juries; the adoption of an economic wage scale to be applied alike to both races; adequate educational facilities and the same military training for colored and white youths; reform in the penal institutions of the South and the breaking up of peonage; improved housing conditions for industrial workers and satisfactory provision for health and sanitary protection in the cities and towns; and the strict enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States in every State of the Union. The Race Congress makes it plain that the basic influence that will bring these desired reforms is suffrage, and it is determined to insist upon the ballot as the vital force that will enable the race to enjoy the full fruits of freedom and to obtain its rightful share in the democracy for which a world war has just been fought and won. All who subscribe to these broad principles of social justice should send delegates to Washington October 7 and assist in formulating a program through which these sacred privileges may be most speedily secured. Dr. Jernagin to Tell of His Experiences in France. An outstanding feature of the Race Congress will be the report of Rev. W. H. Jernagin, who went to Paris as the accredited representative of the colored Americans and who took a stand in the Pan-African Congress for the just government of the African colonies wrested from Germany, and signed the petition of the Negro people for proper consideration of their grievances at the hands of the Peace Conference. Speakers Who Will Address the Race Congress. Announcement is made of a long list of able and influential speakers who will appear before the Race Congress during its five-day session. Some of those who have accepted invitations to deliver addresses are: United States Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio; United States Senator Selden P. Spencer, of Missouri; Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Illinois; Bishop G. W. Clinton, Bishop I. N. Ross and Bishop W. D. Chappelle; President-Elect C. D. B. King, of Liberia; F. M. Hercules, of London, England; P.

Tyler showed up Secretary of the Navy Daniels' recent expose of the alleged condition of the United States Navy and its morale, in the following statement: "Finding that the President's attempt to scare the people of the United States into an acceptance, without reservations, of a Lloyd George written peace treaty with the prophecy that, another war, more horrible than the recent one, will follow our refusal to accept the treaty, as brought over by the President, Secretary Daniels comes forward to collaborate with his chief by attempting to throw another scare into the people by stating our navy is undermanned, our ships are in a shocking condition because of need of repairs, and that the morale of the naval officers is at a very low ebb because of the high cost of living. And, to increase the shock to the nerves of the country, he intimates that Japan knows of these facts. It has been many a year, even decades, since our navy was fully manned—manned up to the allowance for naval appropriation and congressional authorization. There has not been a time, since Japan has become a recognized world power, when Japan did not know the weak as well as the strong points in our navy, when our naval officials did not know the weak as well as the strong points in Japan's navy, and when the naval officials of other countries were not in possession of a knowledge of the condition of our navy, and our naval officials had a knowledge of the condition of every other country's navy. That is one of the duties all naval authorities and executives in all countries feel is imposed upon them. While the high cost of living has, of a necessity, been felt by naval officers the same as men in every other line of endeavor, there never was a time when many naval officers did not feel pinched because of the "cost of high living," rather than the high cost of living. The President's sophistries, exuding from his speeches in support of the Lloyd George dictated peace treaty, as well as his prophecy of an awful, horrible war, failing to disturb the equilibrium of Congress or the people, the Secretary of the Navy brings forth a new bogy, which, after the most casual reflection, will be found to be merely a scarecrow, stuffed with wind. "Former national administrations, when they desired a big appropriation for the building of a far greater number of ships than Congress felt the needs justified, were wont to throw a scare into the people by telling of the total unpreparedness of our navy, but this is the first administration that has attempted to force this country into disrupting entangling alliances with European countries, on their terms, by parading the alleged weakness of our navy." COLORED BANK PROPOSED FOR CLEVELAND, OHIO Cleveland, Ohio, September 22.— Indications are that Cleveland is to have a colored bank. Maj. A. E. Patterson, late judge, advocate for the 92d Division in France, who has located in Cleveland, is interested in promoting a bank with a paid-up capital of $50,000. As a nucleus for this $50,000, Chicago friends of Maj. Patterson have agreed to invest $30,000 in the stock of the proposed bank.
