State of Michigan—The Superior Court of Grand Rapids—Alexander C. Garner, plaintiff, vs. Robert E. Jones, defendant. Finding of Facts and Conclusions of Law. This suit is an action on the case brought by the plaintiff to recover damages he claims to have sustained for having been refused a noonday meal, as he claims, at the cafeteria eating room in the basement of the Livingston Hotel here, in this city, for the sole reason that he is a colored man, and a written findings of facts and conclusions of law thereon having been requested, and in pursuance thereof, I make and file the following: (1) From some time in April, 1919, to the 18th day of October of the same year, defendant owned, conducted and managed the hotel business in the Livingston Hotel in this city, including a cafeteria in the basement thereof, and on said last-mentioned day leased said cafeteria to his head chef, who had been in the employment of defendant in that capacity in said cafeteria for some time prior thereto. (2) Defendant for several weeks after said October 18th, continued to own, operate and manage said hotel business in said hotel, exclusive of said cafeteria, at which time defendant disposed of his entire interests in the said hotel and cafeteria business (3) On the 25th day of October, 1919, and for several days thereafter, plaintiff, a colored man, and several other colored men, all ministers of the gospel, were in the city of Grand Rapids as members of and delegates to the National Congregational Council of America, then holding its biennial session in said city, and at about 12:30 or 1 o'clock p. m. of Sunday, the 26th day of said month of October, plaintiff together with two other colored ministers went into the basement of said Livinggist Hotel to obtain a noonday meal, and as they got to the foot of the stirs leading from the first floor of said hotel to the basement they were met by the defendant, who put out its arms and stopped plaintiff and the other two colored men, stating to them that they could not eat there; that he was the owner and manager of said cafeteria; that colored men could not be served in there. Whereupon plaintiff stated to defendant that he was a gentleman and a delegate to and in attendance upon the National Congregational Council of America, then being held in this city; that defendant replied, using some profanity, that he did not care who plaintiff was, that plaintiff could not eat and that no colored man could be served meals in his cafeteria, or words of this substance and effect, and immediately proceeded to order plaintiff and the other two colored men out of said cafeteria; that plaintiff then stated in substance, that he believed he had a right to obtain a meal there, and that some other talk ensued, whereupon defendant replied that if plaintiff and the other two colored men did not get out of that cafeteria that he would call a policeman and have them put out. Plaintiff still, in t gentlemanly manner, remonstrated at such treatment, and defendant called a messenger and sent for a policeman, which policeman came to said hotel. As soon as the policeman was sent for and defendant continuing to order plaintiff out of said cafeteria, plaintiff and the other two gentlemen left said cafeteria and were followed to the first floor by defendant, and at about the time of their arrival there the police officer appeared, whereupon some further talk was indulged The Washington Bee in between plaintiff, defendant and said police officer. Nothing was done by said police officer, however. (4) Prior to plaintiff's coming into said cafeteria, and up to the time that plaintiff and the other two gentlemen got into said cafeteria, defendant was walking about in said cafeteria, pliting chairs in position, picking up the used napkins from the different tables, and putting them in a pile, to be removed therefrom, and to all appearances was managing the business in said cafeteria, as he had done for many months prior thereto, and stated to plaintiff that he was the owner and manager of said cafeteria, and that no colored man could be served there, and drove plaintiff and the other two colored men therefrom. (5) Plaintiff and the other two colored men are educated and refined men, and during the entire time they were in said cafeteria plaintiff conducted himself as a gentleman, as did the other colored men, and plaintiff w asrefused the requested meal therein byq defendant for the reason only that he was a colored man. (6) On the said 26th day of October, 1919, plaintiff was the pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church in Washington, D. C., and had been such pastor for a long time prior thereto; that great publicity was given to this refusal on defendant's part to feew plaintiff, or to permit him to eat in said cafeteria by reason of his color, and by reason thereof and by reason of the treatment he received from defendant in said cafeteria, at which time there were many people therein, plaintiff suffered great humiliation and was greatly depressed thereby. (7) On the said 26th day of October, plaintiff was by defendant denie full and equal accommodations; advantages, facilities and privileges of sid cafeteria and restaurant, and such accommodations, advantages and facilities and privileges were refused to plaintiff and withheld from him and denied to him in said cafeteria and restaurant on account of plaintiff's color, viz: for the sole reason that plaintiff was a colored man. (8) On the said 26th day of October, the cafeteria and restaurant in the basement of the Livingston Hotel, so-called, was a public eating house. Conclusions of. Law. The actions and conduct of the defendant in refusing and denying plaintiff his noonday meal in said cafeteria on the said 26th day of October, was unlawful, and plaintiff suffered damages by reason thereof by being deprived of obtaining said meal in said cafeteria at that time, and in the disgrace and humiliation that plaintiff suffered thereby to the extent of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00), and plaintiff is entitled in this action to a judgment for that amount, including his taxable costs. And a judgment in accordance herewith may be entered herein. (Signed) Major L. Dunham, Judge of the Superior Court of Grand Rapids. DR. WILLBANKS IMPROVING. Dr. Willbanks, world's evangelist, is still improving and is allowed to sit up in bed. Anyone who desires to see him can do so. His doctor feels that if he continues to improve, in a couple of weeks, he will be able to go out. The great campaign he started in Philadelphia is still going on, and souls are being brought to Christ. Hear what Dr. Hester has to say in a letter to Dr. Willbanks: Dear Dr. Willbanks: I am writing to inform you after these few days that slowly I am improving. My health has been so bad I did not even have courage to answer your letter, save to publish WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 for the good of the public. The strain and continuation of our meetings have been solely upon me, and as you know, with physical odds absolutely against me. We have tried to carry on your slogan, and we have managed to keep it afloat somehow, and by so doing twenty-seven converts have been brought in from the field of snil and twenty-three members have joined by Christian experience since you left for home—I mean in these last two weeks. I believe we could run this meeting the whole year around. I asked our brethren to give me a check for the $30 you paid, or rather Mrs. Willbanks paid, to Mrs. King the day I paid the nurse. They gave me a check for the doctor, and they will give me this check, I am sure, in a very few days, and I will forward it to you at once, as the church decided to pay all expenses outside the $225 paid you for the eight-night services. We have never heard such service rendered as you gave to West Philadelphia while here, and I hope the hearts of the people will ever be grateful to God for having permitted you to set West Philadelphia on religious fire, and I want to tell you she is burned, and whenever your name is mentioned, or your slogan, it is what we call your slogan—"I will." I hope you and Mrs. Willbanks are enjoying the best of health. I want to give a receptio nin your honor, and the new members. Please, let me know when to arrange for it, for you know I want it at a time when you and Mrs. Willbanks are able to come. I want your great gospel field-gun to never be taken from West Philadelphia while I live. April and June meetings, you remember, let these be assured, if the Lord wills, and so you can arrange the April meeting and the June meeting to best suit yourself. Our church and West Philadelphia send affectionate greetings. On account of the reception, send me a special. Don't forget to let me have something every week. You have put the devil in the hospital. I am, Yours, (Signed) N. H. Hester. DAY NURSERY. WILL COLORED CITIZENS FAIL THEIR OWN? We ask every citizen of the District of Columbia to give something to this cause.

INFERIOR RACE PLAY. Will the Quality Amusement Company Present It?—Likely the Actors Will Rebel—A Scheme to Injure the Corporation. There is an effort on the part of someone in connection with the Quality Amusement Corporation, E. C. Brown, manager, to present at the Howard Theatre and other colored theatres in the circuit of this corporation, a race play in which the colored race is pictured an inferior race. There is a kick, and a rebellious kick, among the actors who are under contract to play under the direction of this corporation; and if the management insists on presenting such a play the people throughout the country where this corporation operates will boycott the play. There is too much race pride among the actors in the Quality Amusement Company to allow any man to impose upon them a play that will demonstrate an inferior race, and especially when players are to present the play. Whoever selects the plays for the Quality Amusement Corporation should remember that the present management should be given the same consideration as Mr. Levy was given before it changed management. Colored patrons will boycott any play that is presented to show race inferiority. The Bee feels confident that the players in this corporation will rebel against the production. FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTISTS. Has the Order of the Court Been Violated?—Ousted Members and Officers Opposed to Rev. Taylor. At a meeting of the members of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, held Tuesday evening, when it should have been a church meeting, but only a prayer meeting, to which the ousted members objected. The order of the court was that Rev. Taylor should not interfere in any way. Attorney Moore objected to the proceedings and the character of the meeting. It is a prayer meeting and not a church meeting, declared Attorney Moore, and again he stated Rev. W. A. Taylor had no business to take part in the meeting as a moderator. Protests sprung up all over the meeting from the indignant members. It was voted by the prayer meeting that the ousted members be restored. It is stated that these members will now be tried by the church proper. IN FLORIDA Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 17.—Madame A. E. Sober, Washington, arrived in Jacksonville this week. She is being entertained by friends and is having a most delightful time. HOLD BIG BANQUET. Stockholders of the Whitelaw Apartment House Company Enjoy Themselves in the New Hotel. Thursday evening, February 19. 1920 was a big night at the Whitelaw Hotel, where more than 200 stockholders and their guests attended the big banquet arranged by the directors in the beautifully decorated dining room of the hotel. This affair marked the first real social gathering of all stockholders, where business was actually laid aside and music, dinner and dancing consumed the evening. A marked feature of the affair was the absence of the usual long banquet table, but instead stockholders and their particular guests had their own table as a party, the effect being very beautiful. Mr. J. H. Waugh, as toastmaster, was a genius, with his witty introductions of each director, who responded with a three to five minute timely remark. Great disappointment was noted in the absence of General Henry Forrest, whose presence would have lent much to the occasion. General Forrest, a thorough race man, and among the very first to buy stock in this company, is known as one of the biggest-hearted men in Washington. Notwithstanding the fact that he was unavoidably out of the city, he did not forget the occasion and mailed his regrets, which were read by Mr. Walter J. Singleton and which were acknowledged by applause. The letter follows: New York City. February 18, 1920. I regret exceedingly that business of an urgent nature and over which I have no control will prevent me from attending the reception given by the stockholders and friends of the White-law Hotel on the evening of February 19. This occasion marks the first opportunity of assembling the stockholders to celebrate the erection of this magnificent building, since it was opened on November 24, 1919, and collectively to pay due honor to the leader and president of this great achievement, John W. Lewis. I have no doubt, Mr. Chairman, that many helpful suggestions will issue from this gathering, and that we will profit by it. The completion of this building demonstrates to the public what a few people are capable of accomplishing when the leadership is what it should be and is today in the person of Mr. John W. Lewis. So pretentious and successful an undertaking, under such worthy guidance; should be an incentive to increase our stockholders up to the very last man and woman, especially local residents. Situated in a growing community, it is the very best living interest that can be obtained on our investment, and as soon as climatic conditions permit I hope to see started with even greater enthusiasm the other two apartments planned. Again regretting my inability to be with you and participate in an evening of such genuine pleasure, and with affection for all present, I am, The directors are John W. Lewis, L. E. Murray, W. D. Nixon, C. A. Lee, Wm. H. Robinson, L. H. Fisher, Richard G. Johnson, C. S. Reed, J. W. Lamb, J. J. Dickerson and Sylvester Walker. DOYLE OR WILLIAMS? Captain Doyle told Major Pullman at the time of the race riot that if he would leave the situation of the race riot to him he would handle the colored people, but if he interfered with them it will cause a race riot, as the colored people in his precinct would not stand for insults. Major Pullman stood in the door of the Eighth precinct and demanded that the colored people disperse. He was told to leave the door, as the colored people of the Eighth precinct would go nowhere—and they did not go, either. Captain Doyle has the respect and confidence of all the people, regardless of color. He could go anywhere during the late race riot without being molested. He or Captain Williams would make a good chief of police. It is hoped that the Commissioners will appoint no more psalm singers at the head of the Police Department. HENRY ALLEN BOYD SPEAKS IN BROOKLYN. Brooklyn, N. Y. - Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Sunday School Congress, delivered two able and instructive addresses in this city the past week to representative and enthusiastic audiences. "Front Line Sunday Schools and How to Build Them" was Mr. Boyd's subject on Wednesday evening at the Concord Baptist Church. Seven schools were represented, two ministers, three newspapers and the Young Men's Christian Association. Secretary Boyd's address was a masterly effort and was delivered with earnestness and in logical style. More than two thousand Sunday School teachers and scholars will receive a direct benefit from Dr. Boyd's discussion of Sunday School problems. On Thursday evening the secretary addressed a large audience at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, where a popularity contest was held between the school of the above-named church, the Concord Baptist and the Ralph Avenue A. M. E. Zion Sunday School. The contest was for the school reporting the highest number of votes at ten cents, and was won by the Fleet Street School, which brought in $137; Concord $66.05, and Ralph Avenue School $46. Dr. Willbanks., world evangelist, who was stricken down with influenza while conducting a great campaign in West Philadelphia at the Mt. Olivet Tabernacle Baptist Church, is improving gradually, his physician, Dr. P. W. Price, says, and the high blood pressure brought on by the influenza is being greatly reduced. It will be several weeks before he will be allowed to go out, however. Many pastors in different sections of the country are sending messages of sympathy and inquiring when the evangelist will be able to serve them, according to previous arrangements, knowing that his program will have to be changed on account of his illness. But, by the help of God, and through the prayers of his many friends, he hopes in the near future to be able to serve. Sunday was a great day at Tenth Street Baptist Church, though the pastor was on his bed of affliction. Preaching was at 11 a.m. by one of the sons of the church, Rev. Bro. Stewart. Some were received for baptism. At 3 p.m., Dr. Lee Davis conducted the communion service and fellowshiped the new members. He was assisted by several other pastors. A great crowd attended this service. At 8 p.m., Rev. Carter Lewis delivered a great sermon. He is one of the sons of the church also. The prayer chain has increased to 45,000 links. MISS LUCY MOTON TO GO Rumor Has It That She Will Receive the Axe Next June. Dr. Lucy Moton, principal of the Normal School, is to receive the official axe next June. Rumor has it that she is convinced that, she can no longer fight the opposition against her. Every effort has been made by this well known educator to stop the official axe from falling; but without success. Her successor is being urged in the person of Prof. Clark, a young man of high moral character and popular with the pupils in the Normal School. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomtc.

The opposition, stirred up and capitalized by the Moens scandal, would not down. The Parents' League broke into the Van Schaick confirmation hearing.

We will now hear the truth of the Relay ride, about positions purchased, about "who is who" in the Moens gallery, who gave Moens permission, and a goodly, or ungodly, number of other things. If Mr. Bruce is all right, he will come out stronger and esteemed as few men are; if he does not come out, he will go out. Mr. Neville Thomas, who hates the Parents' League, and especially the members of it who are ministers, will likely get a closer look at Mr. Smoot, and we will see if race loyalty and bolshevism are identical or can dwell together.

He was a man of a pleasing personality and a positive character. He had his enemies, it is true, and no doubt his acts were misunderstood. It is to be regretted that so many of his colored friends found so much fault in him. They did not admire his conduct in the late race riot, and many thought that he could have averted the unfortunate incident. The Bee, notwithstanding what others thought of him, found in him many good qualities. Of course, Commissioner Brownlow came in for some criticism, but there is not a more noble character in the office of the Commissioners than Hon. Louis Brownlow, and when he begins to consider a successor to the late Major Pullman, it is hoped that such men as Captain Williams of No. 4 precinct will be given first consideration. He is the best captain in the police department. He has done more for South Washington among the races than any other captain or officer in the police department. He is known to every business man in the Southwest by name, and he has brought the two races together to respect law and order. He would make the best successor to the late Major Pullman, except Sergeant-Detective Larry O'Day, who is another official in the police department. These men can do more and have done more to promote harmony among the races than any other two men on the force. These men will talk to the people and go among them. The people know them, and it is hoped that Commissioner Brownlow will take into consideration one hundred thousand colored citizens in the District of Columbia, who must depend on the proper man at the head of the police department for protection. During the last year of the administration of Major Pullman he made the appointment of several colored men. The Bee cannot leave out the name of Captain Gessford, who has rendered such valuable service to the police department and to the people of the District. DR. VAN SCHAICK.

The barriers which have kept our people in subjection are giving way, and an era of real freedom and better days is dawning. It may be said that while the Civil War caused the abolition of slavery, the World War has been instrumental in opening wider the door of opportunity to the colored race. We all feel that a change is taking place and that it is a change for the better for the 14,000,000 people which the present census will show to be the colored population of the United States. The colored race in America is slowly but surely working out its destiny. That our people will rise to greater and greater things is the belief of all thoughtful observers. From the lowest depths of misery in which our ancestors struggled under the inhuman tortures of the lash and degrading conditions on Southern plantations, the Negro race is rising to its proper place, in accordance with the divine law of compensation. God works through individuals his wonders to perform. Benefits to the race cannot come of their own accord. The great lesson which the past teaches is that our people must cooperate. They must work together for the advancement of the race. There must be racial solidarity to accomplish the results we all desire. Our forefathers blazed the way out of the jungle of slavery, leaving their children a heritage which they themselves did not enjoy. At a recent gathering of representative colored men in Washington, D. C., a number of whom had served the country with honor and distinction in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, it was the consensus of opinion that the time had arrived to begin an active propaganda for the betterment of the Negro people. It is authoritatively stated that no less than 400,000 Negro Americans had worn the national uniform in the army and navy and contributed to the final victory of making the world safe for democracy. The time has arrived when self-determination should be applied to the Negro race in America, which outnumbers many of the races in Europe who are enjoying more freedom, as the result of the great conflict. Many reforms are necessary for the colored race, and numerous battles remain to be fought in the halls of legislation and elsewhere for a greater degree of equality—for the inalienable rights guaranteed to all American citizens under the Constitution. It is cheering to know that a group of inspired and aggressive leaders are at work on various problems at the National Capital. They are seeking the cooperation of other leaders of the race in Boston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Montgomery, St. Louis and elsewhere. The foundation of a broad and powerful propaganda is being laid, which will have a far-reaching influence. It is proposed to extend this campaign of education and enlightenment into the newspapers and magazines of the country, into churches, schools, moving pictures, etc. The leaders of the movement have learned valuable lessons from the manner in which other forms of propaganda have been carried for the education of the white American. "The Struggle" is the title chosen for a ten-reel motion picture, which will portray Negro life in this country in its true light. Into what will prove a drama of transcendent interest, it is proposed to weave a most powerful and gripping appeal for justice that will be shown in practically all of the 20,000 moving picture theatres of the United States. This will result in a great service to the colored race in making them better understood and removing race prejudice wherever it exists. The Washington leaders cannot be classed as dreamers or visionaries. They are men of practical experience who have the courage of their convictions. They are men of action rather than words. They believe in "suiting the action to the word, the word to the action." They possess energy, self-reliance and decision of character. Appreciating the importance of moving pictures, they have already enlisted the aid of leaders in the motion picture industry in New York and have been assured that the best talent in the country and the most successful business management is at the service of the colored race in the production of one or more motion picture dramas that will be the talk of the nation. The present movement, which had its inception in Washington, is spreading to all parts of the country and is looking to aid not only the present generation, but to build for the future as well. It looks forward to the time when members of the colored race will not only preach but practice race solidarity; when Negro citizens will practice self-reliance and encourage enterprise among their own people; when they will prove by their actions and investments in advancing the upbuilding of the race; when they will not be envious of the success of their associates in business; when they will make sacrifices; if necessary, for the good of the race and to improve conditions for the benefit of their children and grandchildren. With a population exceeding fourteen million colored people in the United States, the time is not far distant when the Negro will be represented strongly in Congress and State legislatures. They will have their own representatives in the motion picture industry, producing the kind of pictures, that they want, which will have an uplifting influence, instead of those which are a travesty on the race. As a result of this movement, the colored people will also have their own moving picture theatres, in which they and their children can sit in the orchestra instead of in the gallery. That the colored people of both the North and South will support these theatres, owned and managed by their own race and showing their own splendid picture productions, is a foregone conclusion. In fact, such theatres are now in successful operation in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and elsewhere. With the success of this movement, race riots will become a thing of the past. It will make impossible the repetition of such a calamity as recently took place in Washington and Chicago, with all its attendant horrors. Then, and not till then, did the Negro realize the sad and unpardonable mistake he had made for years in supporting everything white and neglecting his own people. A powerful national organization to insure the success of the movement is now being perfected. Prominent business and professional colored men in every State of the Union are wanted to become members of the advisory board. Full particulars and information concerning the movement and how it may be made to apply to your particular neighborhood and personal welfare may be obtained by addressing the chairman of the Organization Committee. Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, 1944 Ninth street northwest, Washington, D. C. NURSING, THE NEW OPPOR- TUNITY FOR WOMEN. Elizabeth A. Newman, R. N., Acting Superintendent of Nurses, Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, Writes of the Opening to Colored Womgn. After a great war or other, catastrophe which has upset the affairs of men, we always look forward to and expect the period of reconstruction to open our eyes to opportunities previously neglected, ignored or undeveloped. The history of the world shows quite conclusively that only too frequently have great cataclyms been necessary to shock the sensibilities of man to a complete knowledge of some essential principle which before had received only a casual recognition. The field of nursing comes under this category. It took a great world war to bring the art and science of nursing to the high place it has always merited. Even though the Negro nurse did not get a just and full chance to prove her ability in the service of her country, she did receive, as a sort of byproduct, many of the advantages which came to her profession. With a great majority of the white nurses enlisted in the Government and the Red Cross, the Negro nurse received a newer and better chance in the civilian field. She got positions in families which had never employed a Negro nurse before. She found openings in social work, industrial plants, schools, hospitals and various other avenues which heretofore had been closed against her. And, what is more, in the vast majority of cases she made good, and in thus breaking down the sinister bar of prejudice, she today has the most wonderful opportunity of her career. Just as the Negro laborer profited by the labor shortage during the war period, so did the Negro nurse gain a foothold in the walks of her life. It did not take the industrial plants which employed Negro labor long to see the advantage of employing Negro nurses to look after the health and welfare of their colored brethren. The innate tender sympathy of the Negro nurse became an asset at the time it was most needed and she has not failed in the trust placed in her care. Today there is a greater demand for the Negro nurse than ever before to fill lucrative and opportunity-giving positions. This is not only true in regard to the industrial plants, but in schools, hospitals and such kindred institutions. Unfortunttely, the demand is greater than the supply, and this is a matter of vast importance, to which we-as a race should give our most vital attention. Each year finds the number of Negro hospitals, schools, day nurseries and various other social service institutions increasing all over the country. This increase not only marks a distinct progress of the race with a newly developed sense of duty to its members, but it brings a larger demand for skilled workers, and the nurse becomes a vital factor in the organization.

Chicago Just recently, my attention has been called to a private school which wants to engage a capable, intelligent nurse who will be able to teach and oversee the health conditions of the pupils at the same time. The salary offered is a good one, slightly more than that paid any of the teachers. Of course, only a woman of high-grade intelligence can fill this position, and most of those who can meet the requirements are already satisfactorily employed. From now on we must make an effort to attract the interest of our most intelligent and best fitted young women to the study of nursing. One, in order to properly grasp the growing significance and importance of the nursing profession, should, at least, be a graduate of a first-class high school or its equivalent, but this very liberal minimum requirement will not long endure, for in the near future only the nurse of high-grade intelligence will receive the proper recognition and advantageous placement. As the nursing profession has advanced in importance, it has opened up new and more interesting opportunities to specialize along certain specific lines. One now has the chance to select a choice of preferred activity in institutional work, public health service, private nursing, laboratory technic, social service, sanitation, anesthetics, office work and school positions, all of which offer, demand and pay higher salaries than any other places open to young Negro women today. Of course, the pathway leading to the highest in the nursing profession is not strewn with roses. One must expect to begin with drudgery if she hopes to end with glory. This is necessary in order that she may get the proper conception of her whole duty Special Excellent Service at the AW HOTEL $22.50 per month, Dining Room Try Us Special Chamber and Special Room $5.00 Residence: North 5534 GASKINS and Funeral Directors.

Yet one who enters upon the course with earnest, sincere, high ideals will see in the unfolding and development of her skill an intense human interest found in no other field of endeavor. The relief that comes to the suffering, the smile that comes to the end through the touch of her gentle ministration, always brings to the true nurse the satisfaction that she is doing God's work. If her heart is right and her sympathy is real, no task is too hard, no sacrifice is too great, as she, conquering or surrendering pain and death, yields only to the forces of love for God and humanity. The profession of nursing has not always occupied the dignified position it holds today. The various stages in its early development had a tendency to place the profession in the wrong light before the public gaze. This was due to the type of women who did nursing in the early hospitals of London and Paris; but today all that stigma has been dashed aside, and the nurse takes her stand alongside that most noble of professions, medicine and surgery. However, the development of the Negro nurse has been along a different course, for it had a different beginning, which has never stigmatized her, but rather tended to endear her to the hearts of all. The old "black mammy nurse" of slave days lives in the hearts of men and women as the tenderest, sweetest and most faithful disciple of human devotion the world has ever known. From the beloved and lovable landmark of a rather bitter past the Negro nurse of today has evolved, and has come to take a fixed place in a great profession whose claims for recognition are undisputed.

The patrons turned out in large numbers to witness the Washington and Lincoln Day program, which was rendered Friday last, at 8 p. m., at the Sunner Public School. The children acquitted themselves splendidly. The program consisted of dialogues, recitations, songs, drills, solos, etc. The Rev. J. D. Fortune, pastor of the Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, offered the invocation. The Rev. Thos. N. Austin, pastor of Calloway M. E. Church, gave a short and practical address on Frederick Douglass. The thought of his address in a nutshell was that "lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and departing leave behind us, footprints in the sands of time." Dr. Cox, the health doctor of the schools of Alexandria county, made some inspiring and instructive remarks on health, and highly congratulated our school on its health conditions. Mr. Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of the schools of Alexandria county, gave an address which was both instructive and inspiring. He spoke of the need of an education and said, in part, that the children should receive a better education than their parents. The teachers—Prof. L. C. Baltimore and Miss Willis Coles and Miss Mary M. Christian—deserve much credit, because the children showed that they had been well trained. Dr. J. N. C. Coggins, secretary of the board of temperance and prohibition, and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, preached a practical and soul-stirring sermon to a large and appreciative congregation at 11 a. m. on Sunday, February 22nd, at Calloway M.

"This and That," the second musical attraction that the Quality Amusement Corporation will offer at the Howard Theatre, beginning next week, is one of the rarest treats in the musical line. This show was put on this season at the Avenue Theatre, Chicago, where it ran for four weeks to phenomenal business with the same company that will appear here in Washington. The book and lyrics are from the pen of Alex Rogers, author of some of the best of Williams and Walker and Cole and Jornson shows. The music is by C. Luckeyth Roberts, the little gentleman of big musical knowledge and a whirlwind on the piano. The company is made up of some of the best comedians, singers and dancers in showdom, including the Lafayette Beauty Chorus of enticing girlies, whose style and grace will charm the worst kind of woman hater. "This and That," while written to amuse, carries an interesting story full of humor that would make the Sphinx laugh. The action carries the characters through eleven scenes into various parts of the world to give color to scenes and introduce some of the most novel, and daring costumes that have ever been seen in any colored musical show. These costumes were executed by the Ziegfeld Costume Department and are of the same style and workmanship as used in Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway. The music is of that snappy kind that everybody will want to sing. There are twenty-four numbers throughout the show, written by that clever little musician, C. Luckeyth Roberts. The lighting and stage effects are novel and dashing, so that all in all "This and That" should prove one of the most brilliant musical shows seen for some time at the Howard Theatre. CHICAGO "Y" HUMBLED BY WASHINGTON "Y." On Saturday night the Chicago Y. M. C. A. was defeated by the local "Big Five." The Chicago boys claimed the Western championship, and they reached Washington on a trail of victories. They had about fifteen games to their credit and not a defeat. They had beaten the VandaIs, Pollard's Collegiates, Indiapalosi, Pittsburgh Scholastics, Philadelphia "Y," Wilberforce University, Howard University, and still some more. The Chicago team intended to take Washington, then move to Pittsburgh and conquer the Leondi, then humbling Cleveland and Cincinnati, they would arrive in Chicago with their claim to the American Championship fully established. When Howard lost to Chicago on the 19th, it was then conceded that the Washington "Y" would meet the same fate. That Chicago fell by the way in her struggle for the American Championship, the results of this game will show.

They were immediately overtaken by Washington when Hill caged two in quick succession. Revells and Winters got on the job for Chicago and gave their team a five-basket lead by the end of fifteen minutes of play. Arnold and Kenner took some desperate chances and made three difficult baskets. When the whistle blew at the end of the half Chicago was two baskets to the good, the score being 21 to 17. Throughout the first half the Chicago four-men-guard formation had puzzled the Washington boys. But the first few minutes of plays of the second half easily showed that the Washington team had taken the advantage in the intermission. They had new life and sufficient dope to stop every formation Chicago started. Hill lead off with a basket; Kenner and Arnold followed. Washington then took the lead, never again to lose it. Arnold played the game of his life. Captain Tibbs, who was out of the game because of injuries, went in during the last five minutes of play. Kennard, Green and Turner did exceptional work at guard. The summary of the score: Washington—Kenner 10, Hill 8, Arnold 13, Turner 3, Tibbs 4; total 38. Chicago—Revels 10, Anderson 4, Duff 6, Winters 11, Hubbard 2; total 33. Referee, N.

(Ralph W. Tyler in The Cleveland Advocate.) This is a cold analysis of the Lincoln League meeting, held in Chicago February 11th and 12th. It is written without fear or favor. It is an analysis predicated largely on information voluntarily conveyed by colored men from the Northern States who attended, and approved by many strong, unselfish men from the Southern States. In one of the announcements of the proposed meeting it was said it was to be a "new deal." The publicity propaganda containing this reference may and may not have been written by the president, Roscoe C. Simmons. It was a "new deal," but from the same old deck, and it was, also, a "raw deal" given colored men in States where colored votes are cast and counted. While the comment I may make may prick the epidermis of not a few, and may please ONLY a few, yet even the "strong-arm brigade" will recognize in it some truth. The Lincoln League as now controlled, directed and manipulated is an organization in which the colored men in the North are about as useless a figure as would be the figure of Joseph in a picture of the Madonna and Child. Roscoe C. Simmons, as president, was advertised to deliver his annual address, and the natural inference was that an "annual" election would also be held, but it was prudently found expedient, by the manipulators, to announce the annual election will be held in June—presumably about the time the Republican National Convention convenes. Such a procedure might best suit the designs of such as could personally be benefited by continuing, during the pre-convention weeks, of a stalking horse as president. Roscoe Simmons' "annual" address was a continuous speech that began with the convening of the meeting at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, February 11th, and continued, with but slight interruptions, until the meeting adjourned, about 12 p. m. Thursday, February 12th. His address was a continuous vaudeville stunt. When he introduced Chairman Hays, of the Republican National Committee, Governor Lowden of Illinois and other white men, he employed his customary mimicry—his grimmaces, shimmy-sway of the body, etc.,—which "means nothing," to elicit laughter from the gallery in a meeting, where seriousness ought to have been of the 100 per cent variety. Even Governor Lowden, when he arose to speak, after Simmons' amusing preface to his introduction, remarked that he knew the audience would rather hear Simmons, and that he himself would, because he was "so amusing." Whereupon a prominent Illinoisian whispered to me, "Can you beat it? A white man would rather hear foolishness from a colored man than seriousness." At an informal gathering of colored men from Northern States—a gathering that was merely accidental, rather than designed—a protest was expressed against the thrusting by a few men in the league haleing from the South, of Simmons forward to be taken seriously as the race's national leader. Northern Men Opposed to His Leadership as They Consider Him Only "Monologue Artist." Simmons is using the league to further his own selfish ends. He secured place on Chairman Hays' advisory committee on the assumption that he represented the league; that the league represented all the colored people, North as well as South, and that he, being the league's president, it followed as a natural sequence that he was the leader of the race. There were a multiplicity of conferences—star chamber sessions of the manipulators of the league, it is stated—but in those conferences colored men representing Northern States were conspicuous by their absence, and their absence was due to the fact that they had not been invited. by colored men in the North, and not a few in the South, for they will never subscribe to the leadership of any fakir whether he hales from the North or South. Colored newspaper editors in States where the colored men vote and have their votes counted were drawn to the meeting more out of the desire to learn if their skepticism as to the real function of the league was well founded or erroneous, but not a few learned that their skepticism was, at least, not wholly erroneous. President Simmons repeatedly affirmed that "all" delegates present had paid their own expenses to the league meeting. There were many who DID pay their own expenses to the league meeting—many even from the South—for they came to the meeting unmindful that it was a "close corporation." But there were some, doubtless, whose expenses had been contributed to, and it will require an affidavit from President Simmons to, establish an alibi that his expenses were not contributed to from some source, taking his course in 1908, when he supported the late Senator Foraker, and in 1916, when he supported Senator Dupont, as a criterion to go by. If the league ever expects to amount to a continental—if it ever expects to elicit the support of and cooperation from colored men in the North and colored editors in the North, who have ever and always fought their Southern brothers' battle—it must relegate to the rear a tainted leadership. This is not an indictment of all colored men from the South who attended the meeting. There were many pure in heart; like Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, William McDonald of Texas, J. C. Napier of Tennessee, and others whose names might be cited, who came to the meeting under the supposition it would be au assembling of whole-hearted men—men without a suspicion that there were any selfish designs on the part of the president or any others to use the race as a pawn to secure from white leaders selfish personal benefits. Such men wore like the "real" characters in "The Miracle Man," who knew nothing of the designs of the fakir to commercialize prayer and divine healing of the lame, halt and blind. Many of these expressed a disapproval, to me, of pushing to the front, through paid publicity, or backing by a "close corporation." of a man of Simmons' type as a leader. Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee and the various presidential aspirants might as well understand now as later that the colored men in the voting States stand for a higher type of a man. With Roscoe Simmons as the vaudeville entertainer—the Harry Lauder at the feast—the meeting was purely a "comedy of errors." If those in the inner circles—those who are bent on pushing Simmons on the race as a supposed national leader—want more facts, all they have to do is to indicate it by forcing the hands of the colored men in the North, for they can give the facts and figures—they have the "days and the dates." Colored men in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and West Virginia will accept the challenge. I have no personal differences with Mr. Simmons—never did have. I am only referring to him now as a public man and as an impossible race leader. In 1912 Coloniel Roosevelt closed the doors of his Progressive convention to colored delegates from the South with the announcement that he did not want any delegates from the "rottenborough districts." If the strong arm methods on the part of a few in the Lincoln League to foist a tainted leadership on the race continues, many splendid, deserving colored men in the South may innocently suffer because if a revival of Roosevelt's 1916 pronunciamento.

Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs.
