The Reflections of Rover THE BOOK AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY AND SENATOR SMOOT VOL. XL. NO. 36 In connection with Senator Smoot's recent revelation, on the floor of the Senate, that there was a work of Albert Rhys Williams on bolshevism in the library of Howard University, and that professors and students were reading it (presumably books are put in libraries to be read, and it is said that the Book of Mormon is in the Howard University library, and is presumably being read), a most interesting story as to how the matter was brought to Senator Smoot's attention is in circulation. It seems that the book on bolshevism found its way; in a proper manner, into the hands of a student at the Law Department of the University, who carried it to the class of one of the Negro professors of the Law School, and was reading it during the recitation or lecture. This Negro professor, seeing that the young man in question was reading a book instead of giving attention to the recitation or lecture, demanded that the student bring the book to him, which the student did. The professor, thereupon, kept the book, refusing at the time to return it to the student, although requested by the student to do so. After Senator Smoot had referred to the matter in the Senate, this professor returned the book to the student, informing him that he (the professor) had taken the book to Senator Smoot, but re questing the student to say nothing of this circumstance. In some way the story has gained currency, and everybody is asking why, the professor in question did not call the matter to the attention of President Durkee, since he must have known that neither President Durkee, nor anyone else at Howard University was given to radicalism on economic questions. By the way, members of the faculty at Howard University have within a year presented themselves to the public in anything but an engaging light. First there is the case of a professor whose literary ventures in the realm of history writing have provoked astonishment; then there is this affair relating ta the book on bolshevism; and finally the letter of the professor who; while ostensibly engaged in a work of scholarly investigation and selling the product to the public under that guise, writes to a senator for a financial contribution representing that said work is propaganda tending to foil radical agitation. What is the true character of this professor's work can only be conjectured from these conflicting representations. No one interested in the inquiry and investigation of truth can place any confidence in the researches of one who at one appearance is Dr. Jekyl, and at another is Mr. Hyde. The consumate value of a teacher is his intellectual integrity. Let suspicion once attach to this, and his supreme usefulness is gone forever. Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee has appointed a committee of large proportions to do certain vague and indefinite service in connection with formulation of a platform for the consideration of the convention that meets in Chicago in June. On that committee are five colored men: William H. Lewis, of Boston; James W. Johnson, of New York; Sumner A. Furniss, of Indiana; Robert R. Church, of Tennessee; and Roscoe Conklin Simmons, of well, in the announcement he is credited to Kentucky. The selection of these men is gratifying from the point of view of representation of the Negro group in the Republican Party. It is significant in that there is no representation of the Negro of the lower South in the list, and in that there is among those selected no name of an old leader. Mr. L. L. Larson is probably the oldest man in the group; all the others are certainly new to national politics. It would be tash and unwarranted to draw any conclusions as to what influence these men will have in getting into the public platform some expression of lynching, disenfranchisement, jimmy-prognosis and segregation. The thing The Washington Bee to do in a case of this kind is to read mark and inwardly digest. ROVER. DEFENSE FUND ACCOUNTING. In The Meddler, of Waxahachie, Texas, of January 24, 1920, Henry Clay Gray, the editor, comments as follows about The Bee's demand for an accounting on the part of those having guardianship of the Defense Fund: Whenever I notice an instance of two Negroes of leadership pretense trying conclusions with one another in public print, but yet so as to avoid coming to grips in bear-like hug of the matter in dispute between them, I say to myself: "Hell! here are more cases of the grooved mind." That exclamation doesn't mean that I am angry or cursing about it, either. But it sometimes does mean that I am laughing myself almost to death, for such debates usually develop a great many highly humorous situations. There was one such in the Washington (D. C.) Bee of January 10th instant. The question at issue in that case was whether a certain sum of money (variously estimated), had been properly and honestly expended and accounted for. J. R. Hawkins, acknowledged "executive secretary" of the organization supposedly responsible for collecting and expending the money, proponent, spread out in The Bee evidently what he regarded as a straight royal flush—ace, king, queen, jack, and ten spot—all diamonds! The editor, opponent, came down with what looks to me, at this great distance, like the same bully fist full of spades—ace, king, queen jack and ten spot! By gravy! What marvelous piking! The editor should have pigeonholed Hawkin's pretense at a clear up of the matter, and should have mailed him something like the following: "Dear Sir: If you will kindly supply The Bee with a licensed accountant's itemized, certified audit of the Riot Defense Fund for publication, The Bee will do whatever principles of reason and justice appear to point to as adequate in the premises." This suggestion is so sane and rational that we adopt it, and ask Mr. Hawkins to do just that thing. DR. MADDEN AT ROANOKE. The Land of Canaan Sought—Great Commoner Speaks to the People. Roanoke, Va., Feb. 3.—The critics of Dr. M. M. Madden may say what they please. This great commoner spoke at the High Street Baptist Church at Roanoke, Va., to a very large, representative and appreciative audience on Monday night, February 2. Mrs. Millie B. Paxton acted as secretary. The people insisted on Dr. Madden staying over another day and making the second speech. Dr. Madden refused to stay over another day on account of the flu. Over five hundred new cases were reported today. Dr. Madden leaves Roanoke for Pocahontas, and from Pocahontas he will go to Danville, Va. Each reader of The Bee at Roanoke will be a delegate for Dr. Madden in April before the House of Congress. While in Roanoke Dr. Madden stopped with Mrs. Millie B. Paxton, LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY. will in. Memorial Association February 13th, in- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1920 Missouri, and the distinguished divine and eminent pulpit orator Dr. C. A. Lindsley of Philadelphia; also Hon. Albert Johnson, M. C., and Hon. W. E. Andrews, M. C. The music will be supplied by the girls from Miss Nannie H. Burroughs' National Training School. The drive for membership to the Memorial Association will continue through this meeting. Opportunity will be given to pay the pledges made at the Liberty Hut meeting December 15th last. The churches, lodges, military organizations, civic, benevolent and other associations will report their contributions at this meeting. The several commissioners appointed by the Governors of the States are holding Lincoln anniversary meetings, cooperating with the National Memorial Association in their drive for members. The plan to erect a handsome memorial building here in Washington to commemorate the deeds of valor of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought in all the wars of the nation is a movement well deserving of public support. ATTY. CORNELIUS J. JONES Mr. Cornelius J. Jones, of Muskogee, Okla., arrived in the city several weeks ago, coming on important business before Congress in the interest of the Civil War revenue cotton tax claimants. There is a bill pending in the House of Representatives for the interest of these cotton tax claimants, and Mr. Jones is the chief counsel representing these clients. While in the city Mr. Jones is the guest of the Whitelaw Hotel, Thirteenth and T streets northwest. LIEUT. ANDERSON WINS. Justice McCoy Grants Him a Divorce from Mrs. Hallie Queen Anderson. Justice McCoy, Tuesday, in equity court No. 1. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, handed down a decree granting L. Thurman Anderson, a former lieutenant with the overseas forces, legal separation from Mrs. Halle Queen Anderson. The case, on account of the standing of the parties involved, attracted much interest, and during the three days' trial the court room was thronged. There were sensational charges made on both sides, and it was a legal battle royal between Attorneys Armond W. Scott, representing Lieut. Anderson, and James A. Cobb, representing Mrs. Anderson. Attorney Scott finally won the decree for his client. Mrs. Anderson and Lieut. Anderson were married in March of last year after the return of Lieut. Anderson from overseas. Lieut. Anderson filed suit the following June, alleging improper friendship between Mrs. Anderson and Ogbon N. Simmons, a former lieutenant, on duty at the Howard University training camp, and her desertion of him when called upon to explain. Mrs. Anderson answered with a cross bill, making sensational charges against Lieut. Anderson, which were dropped when the case came to trial. One of the sensational features of the trial was the reading of a spicy letter from Lieut. Simmons to Mrs. Anderson, in which he addressed her as "My Dear Birdling," and signed himself, as "Bird." Records from Freedmen's Hospital covering Mrs. Anderson's period of illness following her separation from her husband were brought by Dr. James A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, by reason of a subpoenaes tecum being served upon him by Armond W. Scott, attorney for Lieut. Anderson, but these were not gone into Mrs. Anderson several times during the trial came near collapse, and snellin sols and aromatic spirits of ammonia freely used. will result from a better understanding of Negro ideals and Negro problems which are reaching the reading public through this medium. Among some of the recently noted publications that have given the race publicity through the channel of the Urban League are the Atlantic City Survey, Word Tomorrow, Life and Labor, American Architect and the Detroiter. The Detroiter, official organ of the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, in presenting conditions in Detroit, said: "A veritable oasis in this desert of decency is the Columbia Community House, 167 Columbia East, under the supervision of the Urban League, 297 St. Antoine street, and in charge of John C. Dancy, Jr. Nothing is wanting in this well-kept, intelligently run institution except sufficient funds to make its work more efficient." In replying to the American Architect's request for a presentation of housing and race fiction, Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urbague says: 'From the standp Negroes, the removal from section to a white neighbor way an effort to assoc people. Negroes knc c of the city depart sections is poor; thy seldom cleaned as is poor; that police is a farce and that e neglect by landloil result in a hither than that which They therefore seek a more desirable neighborhood when their pocketbooks and their nerve warrant such action. They are willing to face the inconvenience of opposition and the dangers of occasional altercations to secure the benefits which they consider too numerous and valuable to forego." T. Arnold Hill executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League, writing in Life and Labor on race antagonism, its cost and cure, says: "The disposition to crowd all Negroes into a separate sphere, alone and uncared-for, is contrary to our scheme of Americanization. It is a source of conflict, for it accentuates the lines of contact. Labor unions will experience no difficulty when they allow Negroes every opportunity and benefit of workingmen. Negroes are basically loyal to institutions which offer for them even a fair measure of protection." Commenting upon this, the editor of Life and Labor says: "The Negro, too, must be admitted to all of our commercial, civic and charitable organizations." No question of social equality is involved. That is a question that should be raised by either side. It is an individual question. It is not necessary for any white man to sit at a table with a Negro if he does not desire to, nor invite a Negro to his home. But the Negro is a member of the community. His life is affected by our community activities, and he is entitled to representation in community organizations and on community committees." We hope that this sort of publicity which is gradually finding its way into the homes of America's best thinking people will continue in demand. It will bear good fruit. HOLINESS MISSION ENTER TAINS WALTER REED SOLDIERS. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock the Holiness Mission, 1537 Seventh-street, entertained the soldier boys at their meeting house. Mrs. J. M. Layton brought twenty-six soldiers and sailors to be their guests. Everything betokened a royal welcome to the boys who had been over and taken an active part in the great world's war. The regular church service was well enjoyed by all present. The church was reached by one of the were presented with a beautiful motto card. To Mrs. Harper, one of the oldest members of the Mission, belongs the honor of this splendid tribute to our soldiers and sailors. J. H. WILLIS Chief Trumpeter of the Famous Ninth Cavalry Band. J. H. Willis, chief trumpeter of the famous Ninth Cavalry Band, retired from active service in 1909, at Camp McGrath, Batangas, P. I., after thirty years of service. He needs no introduction. In 1908, when the big 16 went around the world, this man had the honor of being detailed by order of the Governor General of the Philippines with his famous Ninth Cavalry Bugle Corps on the Governor's launch that went out to receive them as they dropped anchor in the bay. In the grand review this man came out with the reputation of having the best bugle corps in the world. Now he has decided to give his time to the [Name] American Legion and is going to have a band that will be second to none in a very short time. He is backed by Reese Europe Post, No. I. American Legion, whose commander stands for 100 per cent Americans, and I stand, for a full military band. The doors are open to those who did not slack. Please notice The Bee for further orders pertaining to the band. Write Prof. J. H. Willis, 1235A South Capitol street. All members of the band and their friends are asked to be present on February 12th at 8 p.m., at the Community Service of the District of Columbia, operating at 18 L street southwest. J. H. Willis, Music Director. "THE RETURN OF EVE" Which Ran for a Season at the Empire Theatre in New York Will Be a Welcome Offering Next Week at the Howard Theatre. "The most original and delightful play written in the last ten years," was a famous dramatic critic's estimate of "The Return of Eve," which the Howard Theatre has been fortunate enough to secure for its patrons next week. This lovely comedy drama of idealism as fresh and young as the songs of mating birds. The story is that of two children, a boy and a girl, who are brought up in the wilderness by an old man. He is the only human being they have ever seen. The birds and wild things are their companions, the trees, mountains, earth and sky their only confines, the world's best literature their text books and their teacher the wise and kindly man in whose charge they have been left. The time comes, through the conditions of a will, when they must mix with their kind, they are taken to a great place in a city and confined in a small room and confined in the last few days in the forest, where would be only happiness. Sigh. Sigh. What find that they are all in all to each other, and count the world well lost for their forest home and for one another. The play is fanciful allegory, filled with idealistic imagery and lines that are poems in prose. There is plenty of comedy in the treatment of the treatment of the strange conditions that confronts these children when the strange usages of society are thrust upon them and in the sensation their frank and fearless attitude toward life creates in a house where riftice sits enthroned. "The Return of Eve" presents the greatest lesson in the world, if you care to look for it; the loss of fearlessness, frankness, perfect naturalness and perfect truth. But it does not preach; it entertains from start to finish. GREAT REVIVAL AT SIMPSON MEMORIAL CHURCH. A great revival is being held at the Simpson Memorial M. E.

MORE PREACHERS WANTED. Other Professions Oversupplied—Charles F. Hall Makes Observations. In speaking of our professional men, Mr. Chas. E. Hall, of the United States Census Bureau, recently said: "A great deal of interest is being manifested by members of our professional groups as to the number and distribution of our professional men, and it is believed that the United States Census now being taken will shed a great deal of light upon this subject and dispose of the contention that we have an insufficient number of clergymen and that we have an over-supply of dentists, lawyers and physicians. "As a matter of fact, the census of ten years ago indicated that clergymen were more numerous among our racial group than among whites, the population per clergyman being 562 among us and 815 among whites. In other words, there were 253 more white people per clergyman than colored people per colored clergyman, while for colored dentists there were 20,560 people per dentist, as compared with only 2,070 for the whites. There was only one lawyer for every 12,15 of our people, while for the whites there was one for every 718 persons. However, the field for physicians and surgeons was less inviting, there being one colored physician to every 3,194 colored men, women and children; as compared with one white to every 553 white inhabitants. "Considering our economic status, it would appear that we had about reached a safe limit ten years ago in the number of physicians, but probably not in the number of surgeons. With the exception of clergymen, who were everywhere, there appeared to be a lack of proper distribution of the dentists, lawyers and physicians, many of whom seemed to prefer a professionally overcrowded city to a smaller community where splendid opportunities exist and substantial incomes are assured. "On account of the splendid development of our financial and business interests during the past ten years, it is hoped that there has been a corresponding development along other professional lines, particularly in an increased number of expert accountants, stenographers and clerks, for whose services there is a constant demand by our bankers and life insurance officials. The data being compiled by the United States Census Bureau will be informative as well as interesting." ANACOSTIA NEWS. The citizens of Anacostia are opposed to Dr. Jolin Van Schaick, Jr.'s confirmation by the United States Senate as Commissioner of the District of Columbia. A small-sized audience came out to hear him recently at the Birney school. Mrs. Maggie Taliaferro, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is out on a three days' leave of absence. Rev. C. Manakoo, the new pastor of Campbell A. M. E. Church, who succeeded the former pastor, Rev. Geo. W. West, in a mid-season change, is a very able speaker. Miss M.

The young women of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., Miss Nannia H. Burroughs, president, made a colored calendar for every "shut-in" soldier at Walter Reed Hospital as a New Year offering. Mrs. J. M. Layton took them out to the boys, with greetings from their young friends on the Hill. There was not a nook or corner in Walter Reed Hospital containing a cot of a colored soldier but that a brilliant ray of sunshine was cast thereon when they were presented to them. Let someone else remember them in some way. CHESTERBROOK NEWS.

The people in this city, both colored and white, are more easily camouflaged than any class of citizens in the United States. They nibble and bite at and swallow a camouflaged vote and hook easier than any other class of people. Legitimate movements are repudiated; deserving enterprises are passed by unnoticed; but any Jack-leg individual may come in town and present any kind of Jack-leg scheme, camouflage the people of their money, and he is blessed. Some few weeks ago an individual arrived in this city from the South and the first place he made for was the Howard Theatre. The management of the theatre opened his heart, as he always does when a worthy and legitimate appeal for help is made to him; the churches in the city raised collections; but one minister got wise by consulting a certain banker in this city, after this individual declared that he had several thousand dollars in a Southern bank and could not get his money out. When the offer of a white banker was made to this well-known preacher by the white banker to get the alleged twelve thousand dollars out for this alleged Southern refugee, he suddenly disappeared and has neither been seen nor heard of since. The citizens of Washington are warned to repudiate all camouflaged refugees. VAN SCHAIC KWINS. The Senate District Committee report on the nomination of Rev. W. unwarrantable characterization of the ton. The Senator from New York has little regard for the colored pe be convinced that the colored vot tribute should he ever come up for remembered. DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS JOINS N. A. A. C. P. STAFF The Senate District Committee has decided to make a favorable report on the nomination of Rev. Van Schaick, notwithstanding his unwarrantable characterization of the colored citizens of Washington. The Senator from New York who voted for this confirmation has little regard for the colored people of Washington, but he will be convinced that the colored vote of New York will pay him a tribute should he ever come up for an elective office. He will be remembered. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that William Pickens has resigned as dean of Morgan College to join the association's staff and will devote his entire time to the organization of Negroes throughout the United States. No orator of the race is so well known to colored Americans as Mr. Pickens. Native of Anderson County, South Carolina, where he was born in 1881, he migrated to Arkansas with his parents in 1888, and entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. His oratorical ability was manifest at an early age as he was valedictorian of his class in the Union High School of Little Rock. During his career in Talladega College, Alabama, he led in all his studies and won a number of oratorical and literary prizes. Upon his being graduated from Talladega, Mr. Pickens entered Yale University, in 1902, and here, in a class of three hundred men, he captured one of that institution's most coveted honors, the Henry James Ten Eyck oratorical prize. He was also elected to America's foremost honorary society among college men, Phi Beta Kappa, and was graduated from Yale in the highest rank of his class, delivering the philosophical oration. From the time of his graduation from Yale, in 1904, until he joined the staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in 1920, Mr. Pickens devoted himself to teaching. He was teacher of languages at Talladega College and professor of Greek and Sociology at Wiley University, Texas, becoming dean of Morgan College in 1915. In the year 1913 Mr. Pickens interrupted his academic career to travel in Europe. With his election as vice-president of Morgan College, in 1918, Mr. Pickens established a record as the first of his race to hold that office and the office of dean also. The record of Mr. Pickens' service to his race is a long and varied one. He was a member of the Niagara Movement, and with J. E. Spingarn he started the movement in Louisville, Ky., which resulted in the decision of the United States Supreme Court against segregation in American cities. When he became dean of Morgan College the plant consisted of one building on a fraction of an acre. He leaves it, after five years, with a dozen buildings and 84 acres in the City of Baltimore; and with great promise of a bright future. colored and white, are more easily citizens in the United States.

He will be During the war Mr. Pickens was instrumental, together with Major Spingarn, in originating the movement for a colored officers' training camp, and the result was the first of such camps at Des Moines, Iowa. He was, in addition, a member of the colored section of the Maryland Council of Defense. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that Mr. Pickens is to have the title of associate field secretary. Rev. John Van Schaick has returned to the city from New York, where he has been to get proof to refute the records that are now on file in his county that he was a citizen and voter in New York. There is a principle in politics that you can't go behind the returns. The Senate Judiciary Committee will never take seriously ex parte statements or affidavits of persons not sworn before the committee. It is as easy to get affidavits in New York as it is to get votes, gunmen and all other things. Then, again, the colored people have some rights that ought to be considered. He slandered the entire colored population of this city, which alone is enough to defeat his confirmation. THE STROLLERS. The Strollers will give the greatest ball that has ever been held in this city at Odd Fellows' Hall, M street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, northwest, on Monday evening, February 16, featuring three halls, five orchestras and five entertainers. The orchestras are: Howard Theater Orchestra, Joe Rochester's Orchestra, of Baltimore; Miss Gertrude Well's Society Jazz; 351st Jazz Band, recently returned from France, and Duke Ellington's Society Jazz.

JOHNSON IS DEAD. Among the victims of the present epidemic which has swept our city recently is our beloved friend and co-journalist, Ferdinand DeSoto Johnson, well known in typographical circles as the junior member of the firm of Johnson and Scott printers. Over 10,000 discharged, disabled soldiers were undergoing treatment in Public Health Service hospitals or under contract with private hospitals, during January, according to tabulated returns. The number of applicants for treatment under the war risk act is constantly increasing, as the men become familiar with the fact that they are entitled to free treatment. Mr. Johnson was born in the city of Washington January 24, 1894. As a boy he was very dutiful to his Sunday School work at Metropolitan Baptist Church, and was doing the church printing for several years, which was reviewed at his funeral services last Friday by Dr. Norman. To know Johnson was to love him. He was well thought of by young and old, and his death came as a shock to hundreds of his friends, just at the time his little publication, The Tattler, had become popular, and The Carnations, a popular dance club, of which he was president, was making great progress. MEMORIAL. In loving remembrance of Ferdinand DeSoto Johnson, of Washington, D. C., who departed this life January 27, 1920. Extending my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased and The Tatler's staff, on which Mr. Johnson was an ardent worker. R. DE REEF MILLER. Over at the Community Service, 2011 Georgia avenue, where they do big things, plans are on foot for a monster drive to perpetuate the splendid work that they have been and are still doing. Beginning next Monday, February 9th, and continuing for the entire week up to and including Monday, February 16th, things will be humming to "carry on" this great work. On the opening night there will be a grand musical, headed by Miller's Community Band, in front of the Georgia avenue headquarters, after which an excellent program of speaking, singing, dancing and other forms of recreation will be held in the spacious auditorium on the second floor. The public is both invited and requested to honor the Community Service with its presence on this auspicious opening night—the beginning of one of the most memorable drives ever attempted by the colored popuace of Washington. WHAT THE U. S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE IS DOING "Watch Your Step" is a fine slogan to be observed in buying shoes, says the United States Public Health Service. Get them large enough, built on sensible lines, and most of your corns and bunions will disappear. * * * Walking "Indian fashion"—that is, with the feet pointed straight to the front instead of at the customary angle—has been found to be good for weak arches, says the United States Public Health Service. The United States Public Health Service is now operating forty-three hospitals for the care of discharged, disabled soldiers, sailors, marines and war nurses, who are beneficiaries of the war risk insurance act. *** Niagara Falls, N. Y.—Tests of air in one of the factories here, conducted by officers of the Public Health Service, revealed the fact that each cubic foot of air contained more than 200,000,000 tiny particles of dust, almost as hard as diamond dust, and extremely dangerous to the lungs and air passages. --- --- Richmond, Va.—The Public Health Service is conducting a campaign throughout the State to improve health administration in the rural districts. The work is being financed jointly by Federal, State and local authorities. St. Louis, Mo.—Extensive surveys are being made by the United States Public Health Service of school and home conditions of children in several sections of Missouri. It is expected to result in medical supervision of schools and the establishment of health centers where deficient children may receive medical attention. COMMUNITY SERVICE NOTES. In the past, or rather during the war and the days of demobilization, the history and the service rendered the men in uniform can not be too highly praised. There were hundreds of Uncle Sam's colored lads daily making use of the splendid service rendered by War Camp Community Service. Some of them were ill; some were on furlough; some of them were passing through Washington; some needed legal assistance; but whatever their wants or needs, it was duly and properly attended to at the W. C. C. S. But now that practically all service men have returned to civilian life and pursuits, the name has been changed to Community Service, Inc., of the District of Columbia, but as such will continue to function and GOOD!

It might be stated here that another branch of Community Service has been opened up at 18 L street southwest, Washington. This place will be known as Club No. 4. It has been completely and thoroughly overhauled, made sanitary and every convenience possible has been put in to make this place attractive and beneficial to the inhabitants of that section of the city. Other cities throughout the country are going to perpetuate this work. In fact, fifty-odd other cities have already raised the amount necessary to carry this work on.

The dinner table was beautifully decorated with a handsome mound of cut flowers of every description, which was illuminated by electric lights. Mrs. Wilkinson and Mrs. Dyson are two agreeable hostesses, and they never fail to make their guests happy. At 2:30 the invited guests were seated at the table and were served with a dinner that compared with Rauscher's. The menu was served in courses. At the head of the table was seated Mrs. Dyson, who served the repast with a high degree of expertness. Besides Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. Dyson and Miss Edna Wilkinson, who is a most entertaining assistant to her mother and sister, the guests were Miss Emma Cereti, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Edmund Velatti and Editor W. Calvin Chase. The affair was a most enjoyable one, and many congratulations were showered upon the two entertaining hostesses. COLUMBIA CONSERVATORY.

Adams, the director, was delighted with its success. THE COTERIE CLUB. The Coterie Club met at the residence of Mrs. C. W. Williams last Monday night and were highly entertained. The supper consisted of the choicest viands of the season. The ladies were all motored home in Mrs. J. Louis Taylor's limosine. At a former meeting the election of officers took place.

TESTIMONIAL TO MRS. MARTINA IRVING. St. Augustine's Holy Name Guild Hall, 1727 Thirteenth street northwest, was the scene of an impressive assemblage on Wednesday evening, January 21, 1920. The occasion was the Senior Choir's celebration of Mrs. Irving's sixty-third birthday anniversary and the completion of forty-three years of faithful, earnest and continuous service as a member of the choir. Many of her old friends and co-workers braved the severe Free Stereopticon Lecture On Wednesday Eve, February 11th, at 8 o'clock, at the LINCOLN MEMORIAL CHURCH, Eleventh and R Streets, the Rev. Prof. JOE SHELBY RILEY, Ph., B. D. C., will lecture on Chiropractic. ALL WELCOME By Arrangement Made Between Us and the Government Department Co-operative Stores The Berman Optical Co. 813 7th St. N.

Father Olds, who said, among other things, that it was his earnest desire to see all the members, especially the newer ones, manifest the same intrst in th choir that Mrs. Irving had always shown. However, the mild criticism offered soon merged into a compliment, and the prediction was made that the choir could easily be made second to none in the city. Mrs. Lulu Prater, for mony years a co-worker and close personal friend Genevieve L. Burke, "our utility lady," of Mrs. Irving, presided, and Miss was mistress of ceremonies. As tokens of their appreciation for her untiring and unselfish services to the church and to the choir, the latter, through Mr. John Cole, another "old-timer," presented Mrs. Irving with a beautiful silver vegetable dish, suitably engraved, and on behalf of the clergy, Rev. Father Alonzo J. Olds, the pastor, presented her with a handsome silver ring-handled umbrella. Among those present were Rev. father Alonzo J. Olds, Mr. and Mrs. William Prater, Mrs. Martina Irving, Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson, Miss Genevieve L. Burke, Mrs. Julia Bluford, Mr. Irgatius Jackson, Misses Clara Wheeler, Agnes Tillman, Anna Tillman, Julia Miles, Emma Graham, Augusta Glenn, Blanche Fergerson, Mary Simms, Margaret' Walsh, M.

Keep Your Hair In Fine Condition— Smooth and Glossy by using Howard's Hair Pomade 25c Size 15c For Sale at All the Peoples Drug Stores By Charles H. Williams. Hampton, Va., Feb. 3.—The St. Christopher team of St. Phillips' Church, New York, defeated Hampton in one of the fastest basket-ball games ever seen here, by a score of 30 to 14. The Red and Black machine lived up to its reputation for wonderful team work. Its passing and shooting not only thrilled the spectators, but at times took its opponents off their feet. Hampton scored first and fed for the first few moments, but their joy was short-lived, as the first half ended 17 to 6 in favor of the St. Christopher boys. The second half began with St. Christopher again leading in the score. The Hampton rooters, losing all hope of winning the game, began to enjoy the sensational playing of the visitors. This victory places St. Christopher and Hampton on an even basis. In the six games played, both have three victories to their credit. THE RIOT FUND. Citizens Still Waiting for a Report From the Race Congress. organizations who made contributions to the riot fund have seen no report from the National Race Congress as yet. Publications have been made, however, by the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church to the effect that the members and officers of that church have the most implicit confidence in their preacher. The people who contributed their money to the riot fund will not have any confidence in the Race Congress until it makes a report as to the whereabouts of the money they contributed to the Race Congress for the riot fund. This Race Congress has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. No more money will be contributed to this organization by the people until they receive an itemized report. Brother Jernagin took time to denounce The Bee and its editor for asking for a report of the funds collected by the organization of which he is president. The Bee hopes that Brother Jernagin and Secretary Hawkins will decide to publish a report. "KID WASH." "Kid Wash," better known as Clarence J.

Invention of an Expert Chemist You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pencade; 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 Quirinaoap, 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.
