DAMN CAPTAIN JAMES F. OYSTER TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE THIS WEEK. VOL. XL. NO. 47 DAM CAPTAIN JAMES. I FIED BEFORE THE MITTEE THIS W CAPTAIN OYSTER SPEAKS. He Tells What Van Schaick Thinks of the Public—The Old Roman the People's Choice—Don't Give a Damn for the Public. Captain James F. Oyster, former president of the Board of Education, scored the Commissioners of the District past, present and prospective, for their alleged lack of consideration of the public interests, in his testimony yesterday before the Senatorial committee investigating conditions in the public schools. The Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick, president of the Board of Education, was quoted as having said, "The public be damned!" when Captain Oyster demonstrated against the ousting of Ernest L. Thurston as superintendent of schools. Captain Oyster was on the stand only a brief period. Besides Dr. Van Schaick, he criticized Commissioner Louis Brownlow, Engineer Commissioner Charles W. Kutz, and former Commissioner Oliver P. Newman. Dr. Van Schaick is President Wilson's nominee for District Commissioner. Dr. Van Schaick told him three years ago that "he was going to put Thurston out," Captain Oyster declared. The former board president asked Dr. Van Schaick why he desired to remove the superintendent, pointing out that Mr. Thurston had not held office long, but had been only on probation. "The Public Be Damned." "I told Dr. Van Schaick that Thurston was a local man, that he was improving, and asked him if he should not consider the desire of the people if they made it known. "To this Dr. Van Schaick replied, 'The public be damned,'" asserted Captain Oyster. He remarked that he expressed surprise to Dr. Van Schaick at this expression by a public official, but that the board president replied he had "the courage of his convictions," that he believed he knew what was right and that he intended "to carry out what he thought was right." Captain Oyster told the committee that logically the members of the board should be appointed by the District Commissioners. However, he nullified this with regard to the present administration, declaring the people of Washington do not have representative citizens on the present Board of Commissioners and have not had such for a number of years. Denies Personal Grievance. "We do not have Commissioners who care for the people as they might," he continued. "If we had our own people there—people who belong to Washington—then the appointment of the members of the Board of Education might be made by the District Commissioners." Captain Oyster denied he had a personal grievance against the Commissioners and remarked that Commissioner Brownlow was his friend, but he declared Brownlow was not a "regular Washingtonian." Commissioner Kütz, he explained, was an army officer assigned to the position, and necessarily must be limited in his knowledge of local conditions. The former board president announced his belief that Major Oliver P. Newman, formerly a District Commissioner, did not have the interest of the people at heart. He added that Commissioner W. Gwynn Gardiner was not in office long enough to suggest any appointments. Hine Defends Thurston. Harry O. Hine, secretary of the Board of Education, upheld the action of Superintendent Thurston in drawing papers from the official files of the board. He denied that Thurs- The Washington Bee ton did wrong in removing from the files the letter from Dr. Van Schaick to Dr. H. Barrett Learned, which Thurston had read to the committee, explaining to the committee that this letter was marked for the files. In answer to a question, Mr. Hine denied that Dr. Van Schaick used strong language when it was discovered that this letter had been taken from the files. Other witnesses who testified yesterday were Miss Emma C. Beall, who criticized community center work, and George C. Smith, who charged Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce with "moral turpitude." Miss Cecil B. Norton, secretary of the community center department of the public schools, will be called to the stand this morning at 10 o'clock. If time permits, representatives of the Parents' League and other organizations will be given an opportunity to testify. HE DEFAMES THE DEAD. Memory of, Brilliant Correspondent Attacked by Roscoe C. Bruce, Defaulter of the Truth, Defamer, of the Dead, and Educated Ghoul. Indian warfare in this enlightened age is behind the times. Only the fellow who sights in the open is entitled to the applause of the fair-minded multitude, who over and over insists that the hitting shall be clean and with no fouling in the breakaways. This being the case, the testimony of Roscoe C. Bruce before the Senate committee places him outside the pale of decent, fair-minded people. When he stated that R. W. Thompson sent out "scurrilous attacks on the Washington school teachers," he made Ananias sit up and wonder why he ever went down in history as a twister of the truth. In his letters to the public the "square deal" was accorded to every man, woman and child by Mr. Thompson, and bouquets were preferred to brickbats in telling of their struggles and achievements. Not a single instance can be pointed out where he ever resorted to abuse and villification. As a general correspondent, it was Mr. Thompson's privilege to report happenings of the day along personal, political, educational, religious and business lines. He did this with considerable success for several years, and without complaint from any reputable quarter. Those who followed his writings will bear me out that he discussed public questions not as an advocate but as a reporter. The most forceful evidence of his virility and soundness as a newswriter is the fact that he survived and prospered year after year, growing in power and influence. Mr. Bruce's real grievance seems to be that he will find himself in a class with Othello, who found his occupation gone, and to gain the sympathy of the teachers, like the boy of old, who cried, "Wolf, wolf," when there was no wolf, he falsely charges that Mr. Thompson sent out scurrilous attacks on the teachers. Verily, another slush-fund cry. Mr. Thompson contended that the innocent members of the Washington teaching force could only be properly protected and vindicated by the merciless showing up of the guilty; that the "sheep must be separated from the goats" to preserve the morale of the colored schools of the District. If a drastic season of house-cleaning shall be the result of the Moens sensational scandal, the lasting disgrace inflicted upon the colored people of Washington as a result of it will not have been wholly in vain. The fact that Roscoe C. Bruce would make false and unwarranted charges without foundation in fact against a man who cannot defend himself, and yet tacitly, if not ac- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1920 tually, condone the base activities of the insidious German interloper and fake scientist, shows the stripe of a man at the head of the colored schools. Richard W. Thompson's pen is stilled, yet does his spirit live, for— The man who is strong to fight his fight, And whose will no front can daunt, If the truth be truth and the right be right, Is the man that the ages want. The' he fail and die in grim defeat, Yet he has not fled the strife, And the House of Earth will seem more sweet For the perfume of his life. Grace Lucas Thompson, 1223 S Street N. W. The syndicate that prepared the statement read by Bruce before the Senate investigating committee was out in full. When he had finished reading the essay they had helped to prepare, they hugged him and kissed im ahd took their departure. He advocated business training for colored men and women, but spoke of Rev. Jarvis, a successful business man, as a "fish man." He said Peyton did not write the majority report, but tailed to tell the committee that his essay was prepared by a syndicate. He said that Peyton and Thurston conspired to depose Glenn because Glenn did not pass Peyton's daughter, but when Peyton produced the examination paper which showed that Glenn did pass her and that Thurston marked her down, he then said Peyton threatened to put Thurston out. He said Peyton was unfit as a board member because he suggested administrative action, but had to acknowledge the authorship of several letters he had written Peyton inviting such suggestions. He said that he has had contempt for Peyton ever since 1918, but admitted the authorship of a letter written to "My Dear Mr. Peyton" last June, asking Peyton to advise him what course to pursue in a certain administrative case. He said that he refused to shake hands with Peyton when Peyton offered his hand, and yet said he had no feeling against Peyton. He said he did not know the salary of his own clerk, nor was he acquainted with the procedure in examinations of applicants for teacherships. He said he had nothing to do with the activities of community centers, yet he called off a lecture by Owens which was to be given under the auspices of Dunbar center. He condemned Peyton for proposing a course in beauty culture in O street vocational school, but he put the proposition up to Mr. Thurston and tried to get it through. He blamed Peyton for being interested in the appointment of a matron, but went to Peyton's office in behalf of Dr. Johnson's sister as matron. He said Peyton was trying to run his office, but his letters show that he was importuning Peyton to help him run it. He admitted that the congratulatory letter he wrote Peyton was false and deceptive. He admitted that he was too ignorant to understand the marking of examination papers. He said that he did not know who swore for him and who swore against him in the Bruce investigation last summer, but he has since promoted those who swore for him and attempted to attack those who swore against him. He said that Charlotte Hunter was an unfit person to teach in the schools, but he knows of nothing against her. He says that the only respectable of Columbia are these who have not ministers and people in the District attacked him. He was careful not to attack Dr. Childs. He said that the Glenn-Williams scandal was a pure fabrication without any foundation in fact. He said that his courteous inscription on a photograph given by him to the editor of The Bee was a hypocritical lie. He was on the stand four days, but failed to answer a single one of the charges Peyton lodged against him; The Senators had to ask him more than once to try to be frank in his answers. In the light of the foregoing, will the people allow such a man to remain at the head of the colored schools? COMMISSIONERS TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY At the spring session of the Washington Presbytery held last week, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, D. D., pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, was elected one of the three ministerial commissioners to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, to be held in Philadelphia beginning May 20, 1920. There were six candidates in the race. At the same time Mr. John E. Smith, an elder in the Fifteenth Street Church, was elected one of three lay commissioners out of a field of six. It is stated that Mr. Smith's election establishes a precedent in this presbytery composed of thirty-three churches, only two of which are colored. JUDGE TERRELL IN CLEVELAND, OHIO. Cleveland, Ohio, April 20.—Judge Robert H. Terrell and his daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Goines, are in Cleveland, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Myers and Miss Dorothy Myers. Judge Terrell delivered an address at the Cory Church last night on "The Negro Today," under the auspices of the "Sedulous Club," a wide-awake body of young men in social welfare work. Mrs. Myers and her daughter en- M. B. tertained at a dance Tuesday night in honor of Mrs. Goines. Mr. George A. Myers gave a dinner for Judge Terrell at the Hollenden Hotel Tuesday, at 5 o'clock. Twenty gentlemen were invited to meet Judge Terrell on this occasion, among whom were several judges of the local courts. After the dinner there were interesting talks by the guests. The affair was held in one of the finest dining rooms of this magnificent hostelry and everything was in keeping with the surroundings. As a host, Mr. Myers was at his best. Those present were Judge M. A. Foran, Common Pleas Court; Hon. John P. Green, attorney-at-law; Rev. P. F. Sutphen, D. D.; Mr. Charles W. Chestnutt, attorney at-law; Mr. Harry Payer, attorney-at PUBLIC law; Major W. T. Anderson; U., S. A. (retired); Mr. F. P.

To urge the equal responsibility of the sexes may have been a part of Edward Lock's purpose in writing "The Revolt," which had its opening performance at the Maxine Elliott Theatre. But those who understand the frequent motive which lies behind moral preachments on the stage may surmise that the bluntly literal depiction of certain phases of vicious metropolitan life, which forms this play's second act, may not have been an inconsiderable factor in bringing about its production. The preliminary circumstances of the heroine's revolt is disclosed in the surroundings of a cheerless Brooklyn flat. The very presence of the intemperate, vulgar old stepmother contributes its share to the distress of the young-wife and mother. But the immediate cause of her temporary lapse from grace is the neglect of her faithless young husband. questionable rendezvous of tired but rather unsophisticated business men from the West, who happened to be spending their vacations in New York. But the reckless wife from Brooklyn is saved by the opportune illness of the child she has left behind. An overdose of bananas, administered at bedtime by the careless stepmother, brings Anna back in hot taste from the primrose path in answer to a telephone call. It also leads up to a final act of reconciliation. SOUTHWEST NOTES. Sunday was an ideal day. All enjoyed the bright sun. Metropolitan Wesley Zion had good services all day. At 11 o'clock Rev. H. J. Callis was at his best. The Sunday School was well attended. At night the Grand Lodge of Moses turned out in great numbers and heard an excellent sermon. The Christian Endeavor was well attended. Mr. William Bailey, of 311 I street northwest, addressed the Mt. Jezraeel Baptist Sunday School. His address was timely. The bench rally at the Zion Baptist Church was a success. Rev. Dean and his people were out in large numbers. Rev. W. H. Hill, of Friendship Baptist Church, will preach at the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E, Zion Church at 3:30 Sunday, April 25th.

The couple received many handsome presents. A splendid collation was served. THE MAGICIAN. The Antioch Baptist Church, Rev. Peter Ailes, pastor, was crowded last Friday night with an appreciative audience to witness the magic and mysterious sleight-of-hand performance by Prof. Louis Walter Cresson, a young man equal in sleight-of-hand proficiency to Keller. His tricks were very mystifying as well as entertaining. At the conclusion of the entertainment light refreshments were served. ON THE UPWARD ROAD. From an Office Boy to a Full-Fledged Real Estate Dealer. Mr. Clarence M. DeVeile is entitled to the highest commendation. He has risen from an office boy to be a full-fledged real estate dealer. There is no young man in this city who has made greater advancement than he. He learned the business under Attorney Thomas' Walker. HIGH-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT Let Everybody Attend—Something New. It is interesting to note how the different organizations and churches have voluntarily consented to lend assistance to the Stoddard Baptist Home, an institution for the aged and infirm, supported principally by the Baptists of this city. A few weeks ago a monster meeting was held at the Howard Theatre under the auspices of the Federation of Men's Clubs, and quite a sum was raised for the benefit of that institution, but before that meeting, the Uplift Committee of the Victory Investment Company had made arrangements with the executive committee of the Board of the Stoddard Baptist Home to hold a fair at the Y. M. C. A., Twelfth street branch, April 26 to 30, inclusive, for that institution. The fair has the unqualified endorsement of the churches of all denominations, who will lend their aid and cooperation, while the business men of the city will occupy thirty neatly decorated booths, displaying the progress of Washington's leading Negro enterprises. It will be a rare treat to attend all of these exercises and to assist and encourage those who may desire to help this worthy institution. The entire proceeds of the fair will be given to the board for the benefit of the Home. The program, so far as announced, is as follows: Monday night, Church night; program furnished by the board of directors of the Stoddard Baptist Home. Tuesday night, business night; principal address, John W. Lewis, president Industrial Savings Bank. Wednesday night, educational night; principal address, Rev. Geo. O. Bullock, D. D., pastor Third Baptist Church. Thursday night, musical night; music furnished by Howard University Conservatory of Music, under the direction of Prof. Tibbs and Miss Pinkney, and by the Capital City Clef Club, under the direction of Prof. L. T. Thomas. Friday night, victory night; miscellaneous program. In addition to the above-named speakers, the following have consented to appear on one of the five evenings: Robert H. Terrell, judge of the Municipal Court; Rev. D. D. Turpeau, pastor Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Georgetown; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton; W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee, and several others who will Bee, and several others who will be announced on the complete program. SUNDAY THE INSTANTANEOUS VICLET RAY TREATMENT.

Did you ever wonder why some people have power to accomplish almost anything they undertake and others—yourself, maybe—failed in everything? There is a reason; it may be a hidden secret reason. The Helping Hand Movement has worked wonders for many years all over the country for both rates, both sexes, young and old, and it is the greatest helping power on earth today. It solves every problem, every condition in life; it helps the body by improving your health; it helps the mind and heart by bringing your heart's desires to you, thereby making you happy; it brings you spiritual help and places you in a successful and advanced condition in life. I am patronized by Washington's best people, white and colored, and all are benefited; no one is slighted; all are invited. I heal, I help, I enlighten, I give comfort, I open the way to the realization of all your legitimate, helpful wishes. If you are rich or poor, my great help is extended to you the same. Come to me if you can; if not, write me and let me help you through the great Helping Hand Movement. It is the greatest modern message of health, happiness, prosperity and spiritual service.

C., APRIL 24, 1920. i THE. BEE A PROPHET. . Some time ago’ The Bee ‘warned ‘the Rev. John Van Schaicl that Roscoe Conkling Brute shouldbe retired from the colored public schools, and the-reverend gentleman, if he has ‘a. good memory _ knows what’ The Bee stated it could prove.’ Superintendent Thurs- ton! is another individual’ who was told that Bruce was not: the proper man to be.kept’in our schools. It also informed another distinguished and loyal. friend of The Bee, that he woiild lose out if he continued his alliance with Briice.. Dr. Van Schaick lost the Commissionership and his influence in ‘the community in his efforts to save this man Bruce: “Mr. Thurston is on the downward road by reason of 'retafhing this man in the schools against the will-of the people. His attack on the editorof The Bee is no more than was to Le expected. His occupation, like Othello’s, is gone.. The day of Bruce in the public schools is at an end, ‘His many appeals to The Bee, by him and by his friends, to save‘him from dismissal will not stay the hand ofjustice. The Bee is‘not surprised at anything this colored superintendent of our schools may do 6r-has done. The Bee has always been charitable toward him in the, hour of his affliction, although it should have burned him with its enemies. : : Bruce's testimony before the’ Senate investigating. committee fully demonstrated the character of the'man, He has burned him- self in the eyes of the world beyond the sight of humanity. - Roscoe Conkling Bruce preached his own funeral sermon and delivered his own doxology.. When. his acts are recorded and resurrected in years to come, they will be-as visible then as they are today. For years The Bee has appealed to Congress to investigate-the schools; that it would find most deplorable conditions. ~ There are othér persons. whose nude pictures have not been exposed:to public view: Senator Harrison informed The Bee that he saw thém, and they develop a most disgraceful situation. Bruce condemned: the: man..who has upheld him-all'this time and who has. lost his chances of confirmation for one of the highest offices in the District of Columbia. “The Bee is a ‘prophet: THE SCHOOL INVESTIGATION. In his:testimony before the Senate Investigating Committee on Public Schools, Roscoe -C. Bruce went out of his way to attack the memory of ‘the late R: W. Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent. Mr. Thompson had’ every reason to attack Bruce’s school administration, when it is a notorious fact that Miss Thomp- son, the daughter of Mr. R.. W. Thompson, had successfully passed an examination and stood No: 1 for a teacher's position in:domestic science or some other position, and was unjustly kept out of the schools. Mr::Chase testified to that fact Tuesday before the Sen- ate Committee. His attack’ on’ Rev.- Jarvis, Rev.. Waldron, Rev. Pinn and other reputable ministers in this comthunity fell short of the effect that’ Bruce thought it would have on the committee. No men’ stand higher in this community than’ these ministers named. The: members: of ‘the: Parents’ League’ are ‘citizens. of the, highest moral character. : Z Mr. Chase stated that he was opposed to the so-called educated colored ‘men who introduced Moens tothe colored .people in this city—Kelly Miller, DuBois and others. Why. should the Editor de- fend such colored educators, who would entertain a man like Moens and women who ‘permitted’ themselves to pose riaked’for his benefit? Is it natural the Editor or anyone else would respect such people in preference to those who do not claim to be as highly educated as the men and women to whom Mr. Bruce referred in his testimony? Roscoe; C.’ Bruce went out of his way to attack the Editor and the ‘representatives of the. Parents’ League, an organization which is to be commended for its work: oo : te” Had Dr. Van Schaick let Bruce alone-and’allowed him to retire from the schools,.no doubt-he’ would have been Commissioner of the District of Columbia:today. = RECEIVES GREAT OVATION. .| Rev. Alexander Willbanks Hears Acclamations of the Thousands in Religious Parade—He Knocked the Devil Out of the Ring—Press Com- ments. The Charleston (S. C.). Messenger says: “Rev. Alexander Willbanks,. the worldwide evangelist of Washington, D. C., who is, called. the “Black Billy Sunday,” received storms’ of ova- tion today. The colored citizens met en masse at the Union’ Station, all looking for thé great evangelist, who was brought to this city to conduct a religious campaign ‘at New Taber- nacle Fourth Church, on Palmetto street, by Rev, D.’J. Jenkins, field marshal. ; . The Northern train was one hour late. The Columbia: train. came in thirty minutes ahead. Both the col- ored ministers and citizens met that train to get a glimpse of the great preacher, but he was not on that train; an dmany went away disap- pointed. ..The -field marshal. an- nounced that he would be on the next train. Upon ‘his arrival he was re- ceived with’ salutations by the ‘Jen- kins Orphan Brass Band. They could scarcely escort him to the automobilé on account of the mass trying to get a glimpse of the preacher.” “Thé Charleston(S;, C.)’ American Said: : “Devil.

The big baptism follows the sermon, : “Dr. Willbanks preaches his fare- well. sermon on Friday night, April 16, from the’ subject, ‘Dry Bones: in the Valley,’ and leaves: for Washing- ton April 17. : “Reservations will be made at each service for the white friends, to the left a@ they’ enter the church, begin- ning at the pulpit. By special. re- quest from, a number of white citi- zens, the pastor, Rev, D. J. Jenkins, has provided for all.” Jenkins’ Orphan Brass Band, No. 3, was the first’ to lead the march. Some of the -girls from the Rescue Home came’ second in. the parade, then the citizens and clergymen. Then -came Band No. 2, with the Jenkins’. Jubilee “Concert * Singers, following the carriages and. autonio- biles. Tie officers and’members of the New Tabernacle Fourth Church were also in the march. As the procession marched up Co- lumbus street to King, :doorg ‘and windows were thrown -opeén, Aud the people viewed the parade with\ inter- est. It was a religious parade\ with a banner: bearing the inscription,,““Wé are fighting for Christ and humanity. The.fight is‘on. Rev. D. J.

The Wetermination on. the part of a ‘majority of the, members ‘of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church not to allow Rev. W. A. Taylor to inter- fere’ with the business affairs of the church caused’ a near ript’ Friday night last. Canes, -umbrellas, etc., were very ‘much in evidence. Seeing that Rev. J. S. Burke. and others strenuously objected to his’ presid- ing’ and knowing that he was help- less against such odds, reserves from the . eighth - police precinct station were summoned to remove - several of Rev. Taylor’s opponents from the meeting, but upon their arrival, they found that’ they had no authority to remove anyone;~as those who object- ed to the pastor were bona fide mem- bers of the church and were: acting within their rights." The police can act only in case of disorder. The pastor invited the police offi- cers to be seated, and then attempted to have the minutes of the last meet- ing adopted, but. one of the members made a point that it was a meeting of a Baptist Church and only members were allowed to be present. The policemen: then left, and when the chair again attempted ~ to. resume business, the opponents were, so per- sistent that the meeting adjourned, ‘The anti-Taylor faction seems de- termined not to allow Rev, Taylor to have anything-to do with the busi- ness affairs of the ‘church until the charges made. against’ him, have been aired by the officers of the chtirch and the case in equity court against him finally has. been settled. So strong has been the opposition to Rev.

PERRY'S SOCIETY ORCHESTRA Mrs. Lena Dixon is quite indisposed at her residence. **** Although Lawyer Clinton could not address the Mothers' Council at their "Recognition Day" services, on account of illness in his family, the meeting was well attended and impromptu speeches made by a few of the friends. A generous collection kitted up to $8.50. On account of another entertainment to be given at Odd Fellows Hall on Friday, April 30th, the school concert will take place Wednesday night, April 28th. Parents come with your children and encourage their efforts. Do not let others tell you how your children recited. To them it is a great event to take a part. Lay aside your tired feelings and come and see what the teachers are doing in your community. Little Miss Ellen Lee, after an absence of ten days, joined her comrades at school Monday morning. A "get together" meeting of all men was held at the Baptist Church last Friday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to impress upon the men the importance of paying their capitation taxes and voting at the fall election and all other town elections. The time is come when every colored man must measure up to the standard of a man and let the white man see that he is to be as important a factor in the political machine as any other, man—as sought after and respected as any other man. After May 1st a political club will be organized, whose aim will be to so study the issues at hand and to so direct the vote of our men that they will stand together as a solid unit for the rights and privileges of our race as a people, unsullied by bribes or promises. Great interest and very helpful meetings are being held under the auspices of the Epworth League at the Galloway Methodist Church. Among those who appeared last Sunday were Mrs. Frances Coates, Mrs. Harriet Edwards and Miss Elsie Tinner.

The District of Columbia --- October 25th, 1918. 100 Preparations who says her complexion has been made two shades lighter, and hair-long and straight by Ambrosia preparations. A Recommender for the Ambrosia Hair, Grower, and Complexion Preparations, When Dr. John W. Morse first struck this man's town from Philadelphia, Pa., or some other place, he opened a little drug store in the nineteen hundred block, south side of L. street northwest. He always had an up-to-date and a well-stocked store, and would always attend to his own business. He had many admirers among the ladies. All of them had a baited hook, but the doctor was too foxy to bite, and neither would he nibble until the right kind of fish snatched his hook. He smiled and said to the Sage to come to a certain place at a certain time in the morning and he would see something. When the Sage arrived, the doctor had caught his fish, lined it and took it in a battle and fled to some place. I think it was Atlantic City. Dr. Morse knew that he had caught the fish he wanted, and today there is not money enough in the United States Treasury to purchase this fish. Five or six weeks ago, he purchased a new and up-to-date touring car, and if you are out in Rock Creek Park, Soldiers' Home, or on the speedway, you will see "Doc" and the fish he caught, while hundreds of others were nibbling. How he succeeded in pulling this fish out of that hungry bunch is a mystery to the natives. There is one thing—Dr. Morse is an expert in his charges; but while his prices are high, he will give you the genuine article. Dr. W. V. Smith, who claims to be an expert in peeling the hard skin off your feet, is a master surgeon. He wears a smile that only comes off when he reluctantly gives up a diamond at a cost of several hundreds. He would rather hand over one thousand than be robbed of that amount. Speaking of an expert, the doctor can take out a corn without touching the skin. Now, if that is not going some, I would like to know what you call it. This reminds me of Vincent Thomas. Vincent thinks that he is a good fisherman. He is afraid to go fishing alone for fear that he may fall overboard and he caught by a sea maid who has caught many tender-hearted fishermen by her sweet song. The Sirens are often found near the sea upon a rock. While it is true he is not afraid of shot and shell, and had no fear when he was invading the enemy's trenches, he has a fear of these sea sirens. Speaking of sea sirens, my good friend Rufus G. Byars is an expert fisherman. He has no more fear of sea sirens than sharks fear a dead body thrown overboard at sea. Why, he invites the invasion of these sea fish, but you can just bet a bushel of feathers to a pint of peanuts that there is one siren that he would not attack or invite invasion, or would remain out all night without phoning his whereabouts. He is some theatrical diplomat. *** My good friend S. H. Dudley is too quiet recently. What has he up his sleeve? I always get suspicious when S. H. D. remains so reticent.

To Whom It May Concern: I am indeed glad of the opportunity to write a word in regards to this worthy and reliable Company—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia. All of my family are members of it, and whenever sick they have met their obligations promptly, faithfully, and courteously. I have been sick and disabled now for omre than two years, and it has been the same in this case. Their representatives always seem happy when meeting their obligations, which causes a sick person to realize that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When one is disabled and receives that which was promised us when we joined, and without unnecessary trouble, it is very beneficial. May they ever continue to prosper, and may God bless them, and bring them much success; that they may continue to do good is the sincere wish and prayer of one who is interested. ```markdown ``` COMMENDS SOCIETY FOR PROMPT PAYMENT OF SICK BENEFITS FOR TWO YEARS. 1207 St. John St., Richmond, Va., March 19, 1920.
