The first meeting of the stockholders in connection with the $100,000 drive was held Wednesday night at the Y. M. C. A. The auditorium was taxed to its utmost capacity, and ushers were kept busy finding chairs for those standing. The Garnet Center Choral had done in the last ninety days. In their efforts they had accomplished one great thing, and that was to interest the men. That it had been done was proven at this meeting, for the men were in the majority.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Sylvester Walker, who also introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. J. W. Lewis. In introducing Mr. Lewis, Mr. Walker said nothing of any note could be accomplished without faith, and the greatest executor of faith that could be found anywhere was Mr. J. W. Lewis, president of the Whitelaw Apartment Company. In beginning his address of the evening Mr. Lewis first of all congratulated his committee on the splendid work they continuing THE NEW YORK TIMES TORNEY G. HENRI LEWIS ATTORNEY C. HENRI LEWIS.

XL. NO. 18 The Washington Bee had done in the last ninety days. In their efforts they had accomplished one great thing, and that was to interest the men. That it had been done was proven at this meeting, for the men were in the majority. He spoke of the progress the race has made in educational and professional lines, but he showed by figures and facts their deficiency in the line of commerce and industry. In part he said: "When God decided to make man, he didn't say. 'Let's make a white man'; He said, "Let us make man.' And the colored man was given the same fine senses that the white man had, and it's up to him to use it. Yet twelve millions of men, after fifty-three years of freedom, with their heads full of knowledge, are content to cry and ask for their rights." He told them there were only two ways for them to get their rights—work and fight. For example, he took a chair. The colored man cuts the lumber, carries it to the mill, puts the parts together, yet he doesn't own even a nail in the chair; and if the white man didn't want to sell him the chair, he couldn't demand the right to buy, hence he would have to stand. Success cannot be won by resolving and dissolving. It has been said colored people should organize. Yet statistics show that 42,000 colored people in the District belong to fraternal organizations. They are paying their money into these organizations with no chance of its ever benefiting them, and while they contribute to the other race and add to its wealth, they cry, "God help the downtrodden race! Money is the master wheel of the world, and if the Negro were only cognizant of the fact, he would have the white man beaten. The white man has taken the dollar for his god and worships it; the colored man worships the only true God and has the dollar, and if he keeps his dollar away from the white man and serves God, he will have God and dollars, too. For the last fifty years the race has listened to great speeches by men of both races, who have told them of the progress they have made (any child THE NEW YORK TIMES of the most prosperous young attorneys been appointed Grand Legal Advisor of the Effective Order of Elks of the World. As a stepping-stone to the Grand Exalted Ruler are expecting big things for him at the exp Exalted Ruler George W. F. McMechen. who reads could tell that); but how many of them have advised them about investments and business transactions? Today 1,112 families are without homes in the District, and after the signing of the Peace Treaty 2,200 more will be thrown out of houses. It is now impossible to cope with the housing situation, but everyone can help. You may not be able to master stores and factories, but you can help build houses to house your families. Relating some of his past experiences, Mr. Lewis said that fourteen years ago he tried, by speaking at churches, lodges, etc., to interest the people in building property, but he was laughed to recoon and called an "illiterate hod-carrier fool." Mr. Fairfax, a real estate man, told him in 1910 about the housing conditions and how critical the situation was growing. Yet the colored people only awoke to the seriousness of the situation when their houses were sold over their heads. They are still awake, because since then they have been walking the streets looking for a place to go to sleep. In 1917 Mr. Lewis called a few men together to discuss the building of a $125,000 apartment house, and was looked upon as one having a mild form of lunacy, and all kinds of downfalls were predicted. Yet the colored race loaned the Government $22,000 by buying Liberty Bonds to fight for the "white folks' democracy." If that much can be contributed for others, why not contribute at least one-twentieth of that amount for your own benefit? Here Mr. Lewis told of his arrival in Washington twenty-seven years ago. He said he came here with an army; not Gen. Pershing's, however. Gen. Pershing's army was met with cheers, and flowers were strewn in their path; but the police met his general and escorted him to jail, and Coxie's army was forced to disband. His life during these twenty-seven years has been one of honesty and industry, fourteen years of which he has practically sacrificed to get his people to see the necessity of industry. If he were to die today or tomorrow, no man, woman or child, in looking on his dead body can ever say. "That man robbed my mother." In conclusion he said the colored man's opportunities today are greater and better than ever before. The white man has reached the top of the ladder. We are only climbing and should make a greater success because we can profit by his mistakes. Ami great applause, Mr. Lewis took his seat. The audience was favored with a solo by Mrs. Williams. Shares were then sold at the numerous tables throughout the room, and more than $25,000 worth of stock was subscribed for. A meeting will be held at the Y. M. C. A. next Monday, October 6, 1919, at 8 o'clock, at Lincoln Temple, Tenth and R streets, Wednesday, October 8, 1919, and at Campbell, A. M. E. Church Friday, October 10, 1919. All are urged to be present and to come prepared to buy shares. You can buy as low as five shares, and this is a wonderful opportunity to invest your money. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Minority Committee on Investigation Exonerates Bruce — Attorney Peyton, Minority Member, Dissents and Will Make Minority Report. At the meeting of the Board of Education held last Wednesday afternoon H. B. Learned and Mrs. Cook reported an exoneration of R. C. Bruce' and Attorney Fountain Peyton, the minority member of the committee dissented and made a minority report. The Parents' League will now go to Congress and demand an investigation. A big mass meeting is to be held on Monday night at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Sensational charges are to be made by the league. The Parents' League cannot succeed under its present leadership. No person knew that the school watter would be settled Wednesday but Mrs. Tanner, who had not informed the Parents' League.

The meeting under the auspices of the Colored American Forward Movement of the Frelinghuysen University, held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, September 22, in celebration of the fifty-seventh anniversary of the issuance of the first emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, September 22, 1862, was well attended. The addresses delivered by Senator Sherman of Illinois, Lieut. Thomas H. Clarke and Judge Terrell were well received. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas the best interests of the country demand that all classes of American citizens should feel secure in the full enjoyment of their rights as guaranteed by the law of the land, and since the security of these rights is largely dependent upon a harmonious relation between the different elements of the American people, a thorough understanding between them and a hearty cooperation of all; and Whereas the frequent outbreak of violence in almost every section of our country has caused alarm and great unrest among the colored people of the United States, the chief source of labor in the agricultural districts of the South, and constituting, as they do, nearly one-eighth of the entire population of the country; therefore, be it Resolved (1) that the Colored American Forward Movement of the United States and persons associated with them do hereby humbly petition the Congress of the United States of America, now assembled in the city of Washington, to enact a statute authorizing the appointment by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent, of the Senate, a permanent Commission on the Racial Question in the United States; (2) That said commission shall consist of nine (9) persons, as follows: Three white men from the South, three white men from the North and three colored men, whose duty it shall be to investigate, study and report on the causes of racial friction and conflicts and to suggest remedies thereof, and to offer means whereby greater racial harmony may be secured.

Hunt that was delivered before the Parents' League last Monday night will appear in the next week's issue. ORDINATION COUNCIL. One of the grandest ordination councils that has ever convened in Washington met at 6 p. m. Monday, September 29, in the Zion Baptist Church, F street between Third and Four-and-a-half streets southwest, Dr. Wm. James Howard, pastor. The council organized by electing Dr. Shelton Miller as moderator; Dr. J. I. Loving, Clerk, and Dr. William D. Jarvis, catechizer. Dr. Howard presented Rev. M. L. Cheatham, the candidate for ordination, in a few brief but well-chosen words. Rev Cheatham was closely examined as to his conversion, his call to the ministry and his views on Bible doctrine. His rating was 90 per cent, and he was ordained at once. The order of exercises follows: The first hymn was lined by Dr. A. Barton; Scripture reading, Rev. Dr. Coma; prayer, Rev. Chapman Walker; ordination sermon, Rev. W. H. Hill, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church; candidate was given hand of fellowship by Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins; the charge to the candidate, Rev. Dr. How- cellent music. Rev. Cheatham is a high-class Christian gentleman, a graduate of the Theological Department of Howard University and a splendid gospel preacher. He will no doubt be called soon to some big church in need of a pastor. Mrs. Eva Cheatham, the faithful wife of Rev. Cheatham, is noted for her beauty and devotion to church work. More than five hundred persons were served dinner in the lecture room after the ordination, which was one of the most bountiful dinners of any council in recent years. After-dinner speeches were made by Rev. W. L. Washington, Rev. W. B. Dixons and Deacon James Langhorn. It was a grand occasion. CHARLES W. MASON. A Well Known and Popular Citizen Passes Away. On the evening of Tuesday, September 23, at his late residence, 2009 Twelfth street northwest, Charles W. Mason answered the final summons.

Samuel Brdwn, of Boston, Mass., and Rev. Pinn, pastor of the First Baptist Church, in the absence of his pastor. A very impressive service was held, and a beautiful solo was rendered by Mr. Harry Dyson. Miss Edna Gordon conducted the singing of his favorite hyrns, "In the Hour of Trial" and "Does Jesus Care?" The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. LOCAL NOTES. The Christian and Missionary Alliance will hold a convention in Washington October 14-26.

IMPORTANT NOTICE Will the colored men who were on the street car at Seventh and G streets northwest the night of the 21st of July, when one of them was shot in a riot, communicate with A. R. Mallowney, attorney, 408 Fifth street northwest? Surely you ought to come and tell what you know of this shooting. o-4-3t That was some speech of Miss Florence M. Hunter before the Parents' League last week. I have always said that she was some talker. Don't you know that she never gives up a fight until somebody falls. She deals in facts, and if some smart fellow is looking for a wife on the high-class order, he would win a fortune if he could only convince her that 'he is the man. You have got to convince her, however, good and sound. She was given a rotten turn in the schools, and when she talks, she talks from experience. The latest rumor is that Attorney James A. Cobb says that Congressman Byrnes is a good man and he is the cousin of Mr. Hogan, who ran for delegate to the last convention. Cobb must know what he is talking about, but the people will judge by his recent speech against the colored Americans in the House of Representatives a few weeks ago. Attorney Cobb will no doubt be out for Hogan as the next delegate with the endorsement of his Cousin Byrnes. I always thought that Hogan had Southern blood in him. Doc Williston is grooming for the next convention. He is nearer to it now than he will ever get. I told him some time ago that he couldn't reach it. Well, there is only one way to convince an ambitious old man whose brain is full of visions, and that is to convince him. *** Dr. Frank Davis would like to see the old tar-heck river. It is so strange how these tar-hecks never become ambitions until they reach Washington. Women and men are alike. North Carolina is a large State, and I bet you the legs off a grasshopper to two cherryseeds that Doc Williston is not known out of his square in North Carolina. My friend John W. Lewis made some talk last Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Don't you know that he is a mystery. He is from old Virginia. All-great men come from Virginia. Speaking of John W. Lewis, he intends to get that one hundred thousand dollars. That boys is some genius, and it would take a century to recreate his equal in this country. He has done something that has taken ages for others to even try to do. Speaking of John W. Lewis, he has some executive ability. I received a letter from Charley Hall last week, and he threatens The Sage with a suit. Charlie always was funny. I have decided to publish his letter, and I hope when he gets ready to file his suit he will give me two days' notice. He says: Dear Sage: Referring to your article in the issue of September 20th, I have engaged 'Attorney' Wilbur E. King to look up the meaning of the word "zeitgeist," and I have also instructed him to file a suit for slander if he finds that "zeitgeist" is a synonym for "mocus," a term frequently used by Dr. Sum Wormley in connection with a hound dog story. I am sincere in saying that I have no desire to be placed in the "mocus" class with Bill Chase, Ralph Tyler, Lafe Hershaw, Doc Williston, Terrell, Slaughter, Houston, Dancy, Tom Clarke, Cobb or Dick Thompson, for the sufficient reason that I am able to find most anything I look for except an occasional invitation to commune with our elusive friends, Messrs. Gordon, Trimble, Taylor, Crowe and Jordan, and I might add in this connection that Columbus is a Sahara as compared with Washington, where I recently had the pleasure (?) of making eight refusals within an hour because of my disinclination to change the atmosphere in the office of Doc Haynes in the Department of Labor. But out here we are so busy finding good jobs for competent people of our race, and in organizing building and loan and life insurance companies or getting next to the money, that we cannot spare the time to hunt for "the great American conqueror," as John Paynier calls the vile but very necessary liquid. For the benefit of my Washington friends who "want what they want when they want it." I respectfully refer them to Finley Wilson, the editor and orator, and to certain officials of the Oldest Inhabitants Association. Very truly yours. Charley's address is 37 West Gay street.

CONVENTION AT COLUMBUS Mrs. Julia. Mason Layton left on Monday, September 8, for Columbus, Ohio, to attend the National Woman's Relief Corps Convention as delegate-at-large from the Department of the Potomac, W. R. C., of Washington, D. C. This was the largest convention ever held, 585 delegates being present. They met in Columbus thirty-one years ago, and Mrs. Layton and the late Moultrie R. Bowen were present then. There were only eight colored delegates in the whole convention—three from Virginia, two from Kentucky, two from Louisiana and Mrs. Layton. A great deal of business was transacted. Virginia has twelve colored corps and one white. The colored corps have asked for a charter to become a department and stand on a par with any other State. Their request has been granted for one year. On Friday morning Mrs. Layton spoke before the convention. When she ascended the platform unannounced the house came down with applause. It was several minutes before the national president could present, as she termed her, our own Julia Mason Layton. She carried the greetings of the soldier boys in the hospitals and urged each delegate to go back home and see to it that every boy who had let his insurance drop takes it up, and if he was not able to pay up, the Woman's Relief Corps would do so for him. The Woman's Relief Corps pledged it with round after-round of applause. Mrs. Layton was presented with a most beautiful bouquet by Mrs. Emma Stark Hampton, the oldest past national president. It had just been presented to Mrs. Hampton by Nebraska as a token of their appreciation of her past work. In like manner Mrs. Layton received many other flowers. The women gave her nearly $30 to purchase flowers for the shut-in boys at Walter Reed and candy for the boys at St. Elizabeth's. The Department of the Potomac held its reception in the Hotel Disher, one of the latest, most beautiful and commodious hotels in Columbus. It is fourteen stories high. No colored person has ever been admitted to the hotel except, as a servant or on business. Mrs. Layton was in line at the reception, thus lending color for the first time in Hotel Disher. The Department of the Potomac had as its special guests in the receiving line the army nurses of the Civil War, and in that body was one strictly colored army nurse, thus lending double color. The boys were overjoyed to see her and grasp her hand. The parade was exceptionally fine. Just about a half hour after the parade started it poured down rain. It seemed almost like a cloudburst, but women remained on the reviewing stand and old comrades still marched. Soon the sun came out, and before the parade was over all had dried. Colored soldiers were conspicuous along the line of march, but none looked better, walked with a prouder step, than did our own Maj. Chas. R. Douglass, Quander, Hale, Young, Freeman, Oglesby, Baum and others from Sumner and Douglass Post. Mrs. Layton arrived home Saturday night in time to take hospital boys out on Sunday. MEN'S CLUB GOES OVER TOP. The Men's Club of the Nineteenth street Baptist Church truly went over the top into No Man's Land last Sunday. Promptly at 4 o'clock seven 7-passenger touring cars lined up in front of Red Cross Hut, Walter Reed Hospital. They found Mrs. Julia Mason Layton and her boys, the wounded soldiers, awaiting their arrival. In a few minutes "All aboard" was the order, and out Georgia avenue, into Rock! Creek Park road and in and around the park these happy boys sped; into the Zoological Park, down Connecticut avenue, Executive avenue, around Lafayette square, then down past the White House, State, War and Navy Building, around the speedway, back into the city and finally wound up at the Stoddard Baptist Home for old and infirm men and women, where they found Dr. Walter H. Brooks and a large number of his flock, who gave the soldiers a royal welcome. On the inside of the home, Mrs. Rosa Braxton, and her auxiliary, who have the care of the dear old people there, together with the inmates themselves, again welcomed the boys. The hymn, "Bless Be the Tie That Binds," was sung, and a very feeling and impassioned prayer was offered by Dr. Brooks. Welcome addresses were made by the president of the auxiliary. The soldier boys of the Nineteenth Street Church, the Men's Club of the church, and response on behalf of the boys was made by Mrs. Layton. A solo, "Remember Mother's Prayer," closed the program. Sandwiches, salads, lemonade, ice cream and cake were served to all in abundance. Each soldier and inmate of the home was given a bag of candy. It was hard to tell who enjoyed the treat most—the soldiers or the inmates. The Men's Club of the Nineteenth Street Church furnished the spin and prepared and served the repast. Truly man was "Lord of Creation" at this feast. An outing like this means so much to these boys, all far away from home, sick and wounded, with hospital service all the while, until some good friends like these come and make them happy. Several boys remarked that the prayer, hymns and solo touched them more than anything had since they left their homes to join the army. This splendid treat given by the Xineteenth Street Baptist Men's Club was directly in charge of Messrs. Fortune, Holmes and Wicks. HOTEL NEWS. By R. DeReef Miller. Summer is over, and the fall is at hand, with hundreds of people back from the various resorts. Terminal Station Restaurant trade seems to double in the three cities that are affected by the influx of travelers from the Atlantic Coast resorts. New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Station restaurants since Labor Day have been doing a big business. Washington's big welcome week and the white Odd Fellows' Convention at Baltimore caused the hotels here to overflow. Crowds of out-of-town spectators came to see Gen. Pershing's parade on Pennsylvania avenue, and the convention visitors in Baltimore rushed to Washington last Wednesday. Seating capacity of the local restaurants was taxed long before the parade was ended. The fall reception of the New Ebitt Waiters' Association, will be given November 11 at Odd Fellows Hall, which will mean a big reunion of hundreds of hotel and restaurant people who have returned to the city from various summer resorts.

The Original & Genuine East India HAIR POMADE & TONIC This remarkable pomade owes its efficiency to an oil obtained from a plant growing only in the Malay Archipelago. It is to the use of this oil that the natives of these islands owe the luxuriance and brilliance of their hair. It is easily applied, highly fragrant and truly wonderful in its operation. The East Indian Hair Tonic contains, among other ingredients, pilocarpine, chloral, cantharides and alcohol, all of which are highly stimulative and restorative to dry, short and lack-lustre hair, and at the same time deadly to the dreaded dandruff germ.

On the eleventh day of November it will have been two years since eleven human beings—colored men, brave, courageous soldiers in the 24th Infantry, were secretly tried and secretly hanged, after having been found guilty by a prejudiced court-martial board that followed an archaic procedure in which an accused has little or no chance for defense. These men were goaded, by intense race prejudice, to do that which Southern whites have been doing for a century and are doing now—take the law into their own hands in defiance of legal procedure. Those eleven men were mercilessly hanged—strung up by the neck until dead without being given an opportunity to appeal to their court of last resort—the President—for clemency. They had enlisted in their country's army to fight for it and its flag, as had their forefathers on many a battle field, and as had some of them in the Philippines, in the jungles of Cuba and on the cactus plains of Mexico. Subjects of the very country whose flag is assumed to be a protecting banner that guarantees justice, but which imposed upon them injustice, and being but human and their persecutors being unrestrained, they resented persecution and were hanged; but the criminal community first responsible went free. Americans have for more than a hundred years sung the praises of that "Boston Tea Party," which, as a protest against "taxation without representation," consigned English tea to the bottom of the sea. Americans have for more than a hundred years, and will continue so long as the republic exists, acclaimed as patriots that mob of colonists who marched against, fought and slew the soldiers of King George at Lexington in 1776 as a protest against injustice and oppression. The South today honors and revs their white sons who rebelled against their own and their native land. The South honors these men with election to Congress—these men who shot down their country's flag—to legislate against the rights of a people whose sons. 171,000 of them, fought, bled and died that the flag might forever proudly wave, and the country remain one and indivisible. If America can honor with acclaim and granite monuments the men who rebelled and won in 1776; if the South can honor and send to Congress, with the country's consent, the treasonists of 1861-65, surely the race with which those eleven unfortunate soldiers of the 24th Infantry who were secretly tried, secretly sentenced and secretly hanged the night of November 11, 1917, were identified, can, with perfect propriety, hold memorial services for them on the second anniversary of their death. They mutinied, according to law and army rule, yes! So did that "Boston Tea Party"; so did those brave, courageous, liberty-loving colonists at Lexington and Bunker Hill; so did the South in 1860, whose monumental crime was overlooked and whose rebels were restored to full rights and privileges—given rights and privileges long denied, and now denied to the black sons who strove like Spartans to protect their country and their country's flag with their blood. In every colored church in the land—from where the Gulf of Mexico laps the earth of a State in which a black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect—Texas—to the lakes on the north, and from the ocean over which our boys, in 1898, sailed to fight and die in the malaria-infested Philippines to the ocean over which 200,000 of our boys sailed in 1918 to fight "to make the world safe for democracy"—memorial services should be held the 11th day of November for those colored soldiers of the 4th Infantry who were secretly tried, secretly sentenced and secretly hanged on the findings of a court-martial board that possessed the tyrannical power of a Nero. Those men—those eleven secretly hanged and those more than forty sent to prison for long terms, many for life—did what they did, not because of a desire to rebel against law. They did it for their people and as a protest against injustice that defied the law. Let the colored people in every city in these United States set apart November 11 as Memorial Day for the soldiers of the 24th Infantry who died in vain. Let them, on that day, after recalling with tears those poor, unfortunate soldiers, reconsecrate themselves to fight for the cause of justice, appealing to the reason, fair play and justice of the white man for abatement of the injustice against which those eleven colored soldiers fought and paid the full penalty with their lives, secretly taken.

Is it just government to discriminate againstons, who pay the same taxes that other citizen If there ever was a disgrace and an injustice perpetrated, they will be seen in the operation of the "jim-crow" box cars that leave the Union Station in violation of law three times a day. What right has this corporation to have colored porters stand on the outside of outgoing Southern trains directing colored people to enter "jim-crow" cars? Respectable colored citizens, men and women, babies and children, are forced into these cars in violation of law. Are these conditions to be continued? Are colored citizens to be forced to pay the same price for railroad tickets and receive unequal accommodations? Is it just government to discriminate against a certain class of citizens, who pay the same taxes that other citizens pay, and enlist in the army to fight a foreign foe, and receive unequal protection? Should any government of this character be permitted to exist? Both Houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans, and there is no reason why the party in control of both branches of Congress should not make an effort to remedy existing conditions. The colored Americans can not and will not longer tolerate these discriminations. What do they mean? If it is necessary for the black man to join some other party, except the Democratic party, to enable him to be recognized as an American citizen, he should do so. If he can find salvation in the Socialist party, let him go there. The Democratic party has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and no matter what the colored American may do for that party, he receives no consideration whatever. He has tried the Democratic party, only to be given the black eye. The only place a colored Democrat from Pennsylvania has received since the present Democratic administration has been in power was a second-class deputy marshalship in the Police Court of this city, and he has been relegated to the rear, where he cannot be seen in daytime. There are a few good white Demiocrats who can only be seen with a high-power sunglass. If the colored brother expects any consideration from the Democratic party, he is mistaken. He should proceed to relegate to the rear all men, Republicans and Democrats, who do not believe in equality of citizenship. Elect no man to office who favors "jim-crow" legislation. Plans Perfected for Great Conference of Colored Americans in Washington Next Week—Workable Program for Race Protection to Be Adopted—Additional Features. The "advance guard" of the delegates from all over the country to attend the fourth annual (or suffrage session) of the National Race Congress of America, is already beginning to put in its appearance. Final wires from active agents in the field bring most encouraging messages and the success of the great conference of Negro race builders is fully assured. It is evident that every States in the Union where there is an appreciable colored population will be represented, and by men and women who stand for the best thought and most responsible activities of the race. With sanity and a clear vision for the practical, these constructive forces can be depended upon to adopt a strong and workable program for the protection of the twelve million colored Americans for whom they are commissioned to speak. Sessions of Congress at Metropolitan Baptist Church. President W. H. Jernagin makes announcement that there will be held three sessions daily in the spacious Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street near Twelfth, opening on the morning of October 7th and continuing through the 11th. He directs particular attention, however, to the annual sermon, to be delivered on Monday evening, October 6th, by Rev. E. A. B. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., national chaplain, of the Congress, and it, is urged that all delegates so arrange their coming as to be in the city at that time to hear this inspirational keynote and appeal for divine guidance. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has planned every convenience for the comfort of the delegates, and arrivals should place themselves at once in touch with the national headquarters of the Congress, Third and Eye streets northwest, or with Dr. Norman and his reception committee at his church. Washington, proverbially hospitable, is extending its warmest welcome to all. Additional Features of the Race Congress Program. In addition to the splendid array of speakers, and many outstanding features of the Race Congress already announced, it is expected that addresses will be presented by United States Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois; United States Senator Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey; Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri; Attorney Wm. H. Harrison, of Chicago, and Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington's Municipal Court. Addresses of welcome will be delivered by the Hon. Louis Brownlow, president of the Board of District Commissioners, and Rev. M. W. D. Norman, with responses by Rev. W. H. Stokes, of Richmond, Va., and others. Besides informing reports from Dr. W. H. Jernagin on his journey to France and the international aspect of the race problem, and from the various special commissions on education, labor and economics, transportation reforms, political conditions, business outlook and the emergency defense fund, a statement will be made touching the conference of the industrial committee of the Congress, with Judge E. H. Gary, official head of the United States Steel Corporation, bearing upon the disturbed labor situation and the future of the Negro as an industrial factor in the North. The Congress, through Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Prof. John R. Hawkins and Rev. W. C. Brown, has led in the effort to have a colored man named on the industrial commission, which is about to confer with President Wilson on the vital economic problems of the hour, and it is expected that a member of this commission will address the Congress. An opportunity will be given to hear from representatives of the Negro press, which has stood so loyally by the race at every turn and contributed so generously to the success of every movement designed to promote its morale. Captain Edward L. Snyder, of Philadelphia, who rendered efficient service overseas with a fighting regiment of the A. E. F., will present photographs of great historical value through an illustrated lecture on "The Accomplishments of the Negro Soldier Abroad," and as a tribute to the Congress will give six lines on the screen from President Jernagin's advice to his people at the Newark session of the National Baptist Convention. The Washington churches, fraternities and civic organizations are taking a lively interest in the Congress and will turn out en masse. An "open door" is offered to all who believe in a. 100 per cent American citizenship for the Negro and that the ballot is the basic guarantee of its fullest enjoyment. Dr. F. V. Plummer Re-enters the Chicago University. Dr. F. V. Plummer, son of Dr. R. F. Plummer, who made such a record in the army for Uncle Sam and who has been assisting his father in the drug business for several months, left for the Chicago (Ill.) University last week, where he will finish his course in medicine. It will be remembered that Dr. Plummer was in school when the war broke out and, having volunteered to enter the service, it was not very long before he was detailed to render medical aid to the sick and wounded, for which he was commended by his superior officers. Before leaving the city several of his friends enjoyed a most hospitable repast at the residence of his parents. There is not a more genial young physician in the city than Dr. Plummer. After his graduation, which will be within four months, he will in all probability launch his anchor in the great West. The Bee, as well as his numerous friends, wishes him long life, success and happiness. Monday night at the Masonic Temple, Fifth street and Virginia avenue southeast, Prince Hall Lodge, No. 14, F. A.

Close 12 Midnight 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 hairade; 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 or 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 gettine Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cent each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his whole saler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct Seeby Drug Co., 14 Wooster street.

The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Louisiana hopes to accomplish some very creditable work among the Negroes of that State. The industrial school farm for Negroes at Gentilly, New Orleans, which has been conducted and built up by Mrs. Francis Joseph Gaudet, with the idea of fitting the children of her race to take their places as educated, industrious and valued citizens of the communities where they live, has been offered to the Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Louisiana. A call to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. In the fellowship of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,989,852 members of the Negro churches. This great body asks that the Negro have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work, with equal pay for equal work, and with fair working and living conditions. We hope they have much success in their undertaking. The N. A. A. C. P. has sent resolutions to Congress asking that the assault upon Secretary John R. Shillady be investigated; also calling for Federal intervention in States where lynching is unpunished and unchecked. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

DR. T. THEO 1810 N Phone North 533-J All Prices Are Marked In Figures You Can Read 817 to 823 Seventh St. OSTEOPATHIC TREATMENT TABLE (HYDRAULIC) C. Dr. T. Theo. Parker has recently added this table to his office. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a specialty of those cases. 2 - 11 By 14 Enlargement Free For $5.00 in Trade If it's Cameras Photographic For Rent We Do It Reasonable Empi Cabinets, Postal C Cameras, Plates, Mount eras Repaired.
