The Car Question A Step In The Right Direction A step in the right direction was taken by the District Committee of the House of Representatives, when on Wednesday, January 26, 1921, with Mr. Mapes alone dissenting, a favorable report was made on the general proposition of legislating into existence a merger of the Washington Railway and Electric car lines and those of the Capital Traction Company. In the street-car matter Washington needs relief from two definite ills—high fares and low-grade service; and it is about clear that the only feasible means of effecting either or both is through a merger plan. It is well known that the prime purpose of charters or grants to car lines is to enhance and advance the commercial and social interests of a community—not particularly to secure revenues for the investors. Unfortunately for it, the Capital Traction Company, under the sane and businesslike direction of Mr. George Hamilton, may lose its entity because of the community distress produced by a policy indicating lack of far-sightedness and acumen on the part of the Washington Railway and Electric Company. The only panacea, however, is to see that the readjustment works a minimum of hardship to the former corporation. Beyond that the interests of the people must not be denied. For the Washington Railway and Electric Company, on the other hand, but little, if anything, can be said in defense. In its own short-sighted policy of watering stock beyond wise limitations it has been engulfed. Its administration for the last five years has been marked by faulty rolling stock, poor service and constant cries for more money to be mulcted from the people. Absolutely no cognizance has been taken of the fact that the people are not the ones to pay for blundering, blind business management. This is a problem for investors to settle through electing proper directorates and officials to effect legitimate and sane plans to pay that much-cried-for 6 per cent for which Mr. Ham is loud in his lamentations. At any rate, the inevitable has been allowed to arrive, although belated; and we may, it appears, soon hope for remedial action. Congress is to be congratulated on a step in the right direction and encouraged to carry its work thus begun to speedy conclusion. Let the Washington Colored Men's Business League collect data and be ready to take an intelligent and effective stand on this matter in any hearings that may be held. Remerber, my friends, you are your brother's keeper. Keep him, and you keep the world in sweetest peace. It is not treaties, nor leagues of nations, nor covenants; but your brother, through whom the peace of the world cometh. Keep thy brother, and the nations of the world will hear the angels singing again: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men." The recent brilliant launching of the drive for the erection of a Hull House for Washington was a distinct success; and all Washington hails the movement with profound joy and satisfaction, as an indispensible necessity. Now then, let us all, as one man, catch the spirit and push this most worthy movement through to a successful conclusion. VOL.

The Deanwood Community Center was alive last Thursday evening with the best talent of the community. The Deanwood Glee and Athletic Club turned out forty-five strong. Wrestling and boxing were the star features of the evening. Visitors were present in large numbers and were quite enthused over the activities of these young men. Mrs. Christina M. Briggs, the community secretary's home, was serenaded Friday night by the Deanwood Glee and Athletic Club, who with wonderfully melodious voices sang the strains of folk lore. A Missionary and Bible Club will be organized in the Community center Thursday night. Miss Jennie Peck, formerly of the National Training School for Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., will instruct the club. A woman's Republican forum will be organized in the near future. The women of Deanwood are alive to civic development and will forward this movement with enthusiasm. Mrs. Christina M. Briggs has again opened a brunch office for The Washington Bee at her residence, 1632 --- The Washington Bee Whittingham place, Deanwood, D.C.

Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest; was the scene of a very impressive, imposing and beautiful service. The capacity of the church was taxed to the utmost both upstairs and down. The Parents' League held a brief meeting downstairs and adjourned to the main auditorium to take part in the exercises, where the members of the church had gathered to burn the mortgage on the parsonage and to celebrate the payment of all outstanding debts of the church, thus leaving the largest church of the A. M. E. organization free from debt for the first time since its birth, 83 years, ago. Bishops Johnson and Coppin from Philadelphia came here to take part in the exercises of the evening. Dr. C. M. Tanner, the present pastor of the church, is to be congratulated. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEB UARY, 1921 for under his leadership of the past three years he has raised fully seventy thousand dollars. He has paid off the mortgage on the church, the parsonage, redecorated the interior, installed electric lights, put on a new roof, and today the church is absolutely free of debt of any kind. thousand dollars. He has paid on the mortgage on the church, the parsonage, redecorated the interior, installed electric lights, put on a new roof, and today the church is absolutely free of debt of any kind. The climax of effort to pay the last debt against the church was inaugurated several months ago by dividing the membership into the present-day political groups, as the Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Labor and Prohibition parties, and the honor of being the head of a permanent organization for the church was to be awarded to the party raising the largest amount of money. On this occasion the honors fell to the Socialist party, with Mrs. Brown as president. The growth of the church from its birth up to the present time was symbolically presented by seven young women of the church in the form of the cross, the heart, the anchor, the scythe, the harp, the cymbals and, lastly, by the victorious palm, all of which were given a proper musical setting by the organist, Mr. Braxton. Afterward everybody was invited to the lecture room below, where the ladies had provided a feast of good things free to all. It was an occasion long to be remembered and filled the hearts of all the people with joy and thanksgiving as they shouted "At last the church is free of debt!" The sisters and son of W. Calvin Chase, Sr., the late editor of The Washington Bee, take this opportunity to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to their relatives, friends and neighbors for their kind sympathy and their many deeds of kindness during their recent bereavement. Noteworthy among the persons above mentioned are their only living aunt and her children, the members of the District of Columbia Bar, the Ministers' Union, the Business Men of the Northwest, the Oldest Inhabitants, the employees of the Bureau of Engraving, and Printing, the members of the Knights of Columbus, the Mid-City Business, Men, the Armstrong Manual Training Day School, the Armstrong Manual Training Night School, the teachers of Alfred Jones School, the original Parent-Teacher Association, the principals of buildings and teachers of the public schools, the school children of the community and the host of individuals in all walks of life. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. The members of the Mothers' Progressive Council held their regular meeting last Tuesday night at the residence of their president, Mrs. Susie Campbell, who is still confined to her home on account of illness. Each member carried to Mrs. Campbell a donation of fruits or its equivalent. *** On Sunday last Mrs. Irene Lewis was called away to attend the funeral of her brother, Mr. Matthew Johnson, formerly of Orange, Va. Mr. Johnson leaves a wife and five children. *** Keep in mind the effort that is being made to unite the parents and friends of the school with the school and its interests Thursday, February 17th, at the school house.

The program promises to be interesting. Mr. Rufus Harris and Mr. Charles Carter, of Chesterbrook, Va., and the Misses Louise and Annie Robinson, of Falls Church, were the guests of Miss Amy Brice on Sunday of last week. *** Miss Rebecca Dixon had as her guests Sunday Miss Ethel Jones, of East Falls Church, and Miss Minnie Byrd. *** The Ministers' and Deacons' Union of Northern Virginia met in Alexandria last Sunday. Among those who attended from here were Rev. G. W. Powell, Mr. and Mrs. William Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Wade and Mrs. Georgia Taylor, the latter going as a delegate from the Mothers' Council. *** Mrs. Hazel Lee Bradley is quite indisposed at her home. *** Miss Henrietta Lee and Mrs. Lucy Robinson Ross, of Jersey City and Philadelphia, respectively, took advantage of the excursion and paid a flying visit to their relatives and friends Sunday. On February 14th the anniversary of the birthday of the illustrious Frederick Douglass will be celebrated at the Second Baptist Church, under the auspices of Company B. Mr. Douglass was one of the greatest men of his time and his race. Any race could justly be proud of him. In all of the colored public schools and organizations of this country the afternoon of the 14th is set apart and observed by fitting exercises. This year Falls Church will be found in that group and a nominal charge of ten cents has been made, thus making it possible for every loyal race-loving citizen to attend. A splendid program and also a supper are being arranged for. *** Mr. Elmer Robinson is among those "on the mend." *** A new organ has recently been installed in the Galloway Methodist Church. The Fairfax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. intends to open its campaign for members April 1st and close May 31st. Letters have been sent throughout the county by Secretary Henderson requesting local committees to apply for dates so that speakers may be assigned. A rousing campaign is predicted. Who's Who In Falls Church. In every community there are men and women who can publicly talk little or none at all, but who are renowned for their ability to put across any program of action they attempt. There are many such persons in Falls Church, not the least among whom is Mr. James Lewis, chairman of the membership committee of the Fairfax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Lewis is responsible for the meeting by which one part of the county joined forces with Gum Springs and Accotink and successfully fought the soldier and civilian element in the courts which threatened a lynching of two unoffending colored boys last year. He is a hardworking Odd Fellow and a pillar of strength to the Second Baptist Church. His home is one of the beautiful residences in Falls Church. His citizenship measures up in the test. Mr. Lewis is altogether a valuable asset to the town in which he lives. GARFIELD (D. G) NOTES.

Now that a Republican national administration will soon be ushered in once more, and that isolation, segregation and lack of representation for the colored race, that has been the rule for eight years of famine, may, we hope, take wings and fly to some bourne only accessible to memory, perhaps it is not amiss to mount the steed of retrospection and ride back to that period when there was assembled in Washington a greater number of colored presidential appointees than ever before in the history of the country. Those were halcyon days—days perhaps, gone forever. Washington always and ever, the one city in the United States where real society exists, where so far as social function obtain colored people grow "more like white folks every day," had its social circles augmented by the presence of a number of colored presidential appointees and their families. While some may contend these men who came from the effete. East, the rustling West and from charming Southern climes, may not have added anything to the social gaiety of the Nation's Capital, yet all must admit they, at least, detracted nothing from the erstwhile charming society of Washington. They were men of intelligence and probity, men of culture, and at least displayed a semblance of required dignity. There was William H. Lewis, of Boston, Harvard's one-time football star and later one of Massachusetts' splendidly equipped lawyers; Dr. W. T. Vernon, the eloquent pulpit orator, who ran the gamut of "King John at Runneymede," "the Magna Charter," "purple grapes," etc., who came from "bleeding" Kansas, and who was later followed by that perfect gentleman of the rare "old school of gentlemen," "J. C. Napier; John C. Dancy, the peer of any as an orator, and who counted life too short to seek to make enemies, and who was later followed by Lincoln C. Johnson, perhaps the race's most impassionate orator today, who brought with him that charming Southern insouciance, and Cyrus Fields Adams, the bachelor recluse, who made a practice of attending strictly to his own knitting, who came from Illinois. These men found local companionship with local colored officeholders, Washington's group of talented colored professional men and women, Howard's professors, local members of the Fourth Estate, and Washington's most excellent, polished and cultured public school teachers, and the many brainy colored men and women who compose the group of government colored clerks and messengers. And then, too, there were the frequent visits of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and his tactful and achieving secretary, Emmett J. Scott, whose coming always created a ripple of delight; the occasional visits of Charles W. Anderson, of New York, the editors of the Age and News, of the metropolis, and other luminaries from other cities, whose coming was partly attributed to the presence of such a large number of colored presidential appointees in Washington. That "Black Cabinet"—a mere nomenclature contributed by the late R. W. Thompson—given in jest, but which stuck through the years that have past, and will stick through the years to come, will recall, with pleasure, their daily talkfests, over a boute vin blanc, or malt, at which they discussed everything from the state of the weather to matters of statecraft with which they had but the merest contact. And, doubtless, the members of this visionary functioning body have often regretted that the cabinet was dissolved by the mutations of politics. Without these men—these presidential colored appointees—Washington's group of government colored clerks—really clever men and women—her teachers and professional men and women formed a social nucleus unmatched by any other city on the globe. Like in all national capitals, the social stream was now and then muddied a little by intrigues—intrigues having for their object the recall of this or that colored official—ushered back home and into oblivion. But, after all, those intrigues were but natural, and they lent a bit of zest to office-holding. They sharpened up one's wit; they trimmed and kept burning one's candle for illuminating dark places. They, doubtless, served, too, to make the officeholder walk straighter and more erect and circum-spect—made him less likely to commit some, social lese majeste. Did Washington's colored society, tout ensemble, the most charming collection of wit, culture, intelligence to be found in any city on the globe, ever experience the riot of entertainments that features the Taft inaugu- MARY HARRIS VOIGT is an old name, one that is kn Fine Jewelry is sold.

Will future inaugurations so completely fill the social calendar of colored Washington? It is to be doubted. Then it was a case of "to have and to hold." Now it is a case of intense longing—wondering what caprices political fortune will cut. Then we had representation, but now the odds are against a renaissance of that representation enjoyed under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations. There are those who are scattered to their homes, none of whom are straining their ears to catch the first note of "the call of the wild." Those frequent gatherings at Jim Gray's cafe to discuss the superiority of canvasback ducks over terrapin, or vice versa; or to prove themselves real connoisseurs of Cliqou, White Seal or even just plain lager, which, like the "Black Cabinet," has also dropped into the discard and are now but a memory.

Gone are those halcyon days of effervescent dreams and supreme delight. Were one to call the roll of those who were wont to respond "Present" to the all-too-frequent banquets that marked the time when the "Black Cabinet" trod the boards of self-consciousness, there would be silence following the call of many names.

A Federal Association woman said at the Ebbitt House at a reception Saturday night, January 29: "We are now enfranchised and our duty now is to help women of other countries who are not given the privileges of citizens." The most active woman in politics and foremost in Republican work in Washington is Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who for nearly twenty-five years has been on the national stump urging her people all over the country to stand by the Republican party. She is the only colored woman who was delegated to serve with Mrs. Virginia White Speel on the woman's executive committee of the State Republican Committee of the District of Columbia—the sole colored female voter who helped to unanimously elect Mr. Hogan and his colleague as delegates to the National Convention held in Chicago, Ill. She is also president of the Woman's Republican Forum of the District of Columbia; also a member of the executive board of the Federation of Republican Clubs, of Prince George County, Maryland. There are twenty districts in Prince George County and each of these has a colored woman's club and all working under a federated club. Mrs. Layton met this executive body last Tuesday at their headquarters. She said: "We, the women of the United States, are enfranchised, and our duty now as colored women is to help all of our women to secure the privileges as citizens the same as the rest of the women are doing." Mrs. Layton, Mrs. Cardoza, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Miss R. Bell, Miss Eva Chase, Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall and others are succeeding 916 F Street, Northwest the glad tidings and seeing to it that women are getting together throughout the country and forming clubs, instructing both men and women how to hold together and be ready to do their part in upholding the principles of the Republican party and the government of the United States. For nearly half a century, day after day, Rev. Roberts has wended his way to jail and offered up prayers and given wise counsel and words of comfort to the inmates, especially to those who have committed crimes that call for life sentence or execution. His hair is silvered with age. His footsteps feeble, yet he never wearies. Every week finds him at the City Hall, accompanying someone being tried for life. He has two strong, stalwart women, ever by his side—ever ready to lend a hand—Mrs. Alice Washington and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. From the hour Carrie Johnson, who was charged with having fired the fatal shot that killed Detective Wilson in the race riot of 1919, arrived at the Court House, January 17th, until the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, January 20, 1921, these three people, together with Dr. Jernagin, were present at the trial. Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Layton went down in the cell and remained with Carrie, so as to make her feel and know that somebody was interested in her. Now that she is out on bail they keep in touch with her all the while. Rev. Roberts and Mrs. Washington have every fifth Sunday assigned them for religious services at the jail. A splendid program, musical and literary, is prepared by them and it is truly an hour of service and profit. The inmates join in the songs and the roof, as it were, is lifted up with the excellent voices of these unfortunate people. Mrs. Layton was on the program Sunday, January 30. As usual, a good, wholesome talk was given the inmates. To the subscribers of The Washington Bee: If your subscription is not paid up on or before February 15, 1921, your paper will be discontinued.

W EAGLE PENCILS IN "THE BEE'S" GARDEN. What holds men to their jobs? What is the peculiar fascination in certain lines of work that outweighs the hardships and comparatively low pay attached to them? Let's call it the lure of the job. Clothe a job with the thrill of adventure, let it contain the element of personal risk and danger, or let it give the opportunity to express power and authority—and men will stick with it. Take lumber jacks, for instance—a big, burly, red-blooded race. They are of a primitive type, coarse and uneducated, yet intensely proud of their work. They love its strenuousness, its danger, and take pride in their strength and ability with its difficulties. Accustomed to the daily danger of an active, healthful life in the outdoors, they are deeply contemptuous of the soft life of the city. Men, who work "in the timber" will rarely leave it. Most miners think their life is best. Its drudgery seems to be overshadowed by the mystery in tunneling in the depths of the earth, the uncertainty of life where a cave-in or an explosion may trap men for days in a subterranean alcove. Those who have been in a gold mine know the fascination about its labyrinth of shafts and tunnels, and the ghostly blackness against which the miners' candles flit like fireflies. There is an excitement in connection with railroading that appeals to many men. The enginer gets a thrill from guiding his train as it hurls through space; the brakeman from matching his agility against death as he leaps from the top of one car to another on a moving freight train. Danger and action create a charm that outweighs the hazards.

First, the hair should be washed, rinsed and dried thoroughly; then part the hair into small parts and apply the THOMPSON'S GREATER HAIR GROWING SALVE to the scalp. Then twist and let it remain over night. The wonders which it performs over night will be surprising to the eye. THOMPSON'S GREATER HAIR GROWING TONIC will do this: Stop the hair from falling out, thicken the hair, also make it grow. If the Tonic is applied to the scalp, no matter how thin or how short the hair is, it will grow. This has been done and proven a success. Love of the open holds men. The prospector is a good example. I remember one old prospector we encountered in the Rockies, urging along his little burro pack train laden with supplies, dynamite and drills. He was sixty, if a day—a hardy, weather-beaten old man who had for many years roamed, alone, in the more inaccessible mountain regions of Colorado, looking for gold deposits. He might have settled down to spend the rest of his days in the comforts of a town. It was not so much the gold, but the lure of the search for it, that kept him to the trail. Cow punchers do (or did) the hardest kind of work for $60 a month and "found." There still exists in the cattle country that joy of life in the saddle that makes cowmen scornful of any other calling. Forest rangers are called upon for hard and dangerous duty. To become a ranger a man must have high qualifications that would practically assure him much greater pay in any other occupation. Yet they choose that life. Steam has taken much of the picturesqueness out of navigation, yet sailors cling with traditional devotion to a sea-roving life. They seem to find recompense for its deprivations in the tang of salt spray and the mystery of strange ports in foreign lands. The city, too, has its rovers. Take newspaper reporters. Newspaper men admit, they are underpaid, yet city editors have no difficulty in filling any vacancy in their staffs. The variety of the work, the pressure and excitement of getting a "story," and the freedom of their life keep many men in newspaper work when they might "earn more in other lines.

Castelberg's "Largest Credit Jewelers in the World" 935 Pennsylvania Avenue ed—and enjoys wielding it when he can. Haven't you often seen a traffic cop bawl out a man in a big car? Even in the more obscure occupations there are features that appeal to some temperaments. A man at the ticket window of a railroad station once told me he liked his job because he met so many people and came into contact with the prominent personages who came to town and who had to visit that office to buy their tickets. There are good points about every job. Fortunately, there is a job for every temperament. It goes without saying that a man in love with his job gets more out of life than one who merely works for the money in it. The prospect of every American having an adequate share of the necessities and comforts of life depends largely on the speed and quantity with which those things are produced. If we were able to devote all our productive powers for a certain length of time to producing only useful things, their cost would be reduced so that everyone would be able to have all those things required to sustain life and make it worth living, in spite of the profiteer. The cheaper commodities become, the less the necessaries take up of workers' wages, and more money is freed for the purchase of additional comforts. Thus demands are created for fresh commodities, which furnish further employment and additional wages. So a cycle revolves around production. By increasing production, the cost of living is decreased, more employment is created, and money is liberated to better the standard of living and to augment our savings. If we do not adopt every means of increasing production, if we do not abolish waste and diminish unnecessary expenditure, we gradually impoverish ourselves as a nation. Unless we devote more effort to the production of necessities, and save more in order that more capital may be released for plants and machinery for further production, the result will be a condition tending to lower the general standard of living among wage earners. Higer nominal wages will not prevent this condition. Real wages are determined, by the amount of goods they will buy rather than the amount on the pay envelope. If we are determined to work hard, spend wisely, save regularly, cut down extravagance, and invest securely, shorter working hours will be possible and wages will be really—not merely nominally—higher. The savings division of the Government is aiding this program by continuing to permit investment in War Savings Stamps, Thrift Stamps, Savings Certificates and Liberty Bonds. These helped win the war; they can help us win the best fruits of the era of peace now upon us. Thrift will do as much to bring prosperity as it did in winning victory. CAPTURED THOUGHTS. Empty wagons make the most noise. Some eloquent sermons are wordless. *** Many a bluff refuses to come when it is called. *** A bad imitation is often better than the real thing. *** Money invested in knowledge pays the best interest. *** We all squander money on schemes that won't work. *** Perseverance often accomplishes more than power. You can't get the best of some men—they haven't any. *** Be careful; that's the next best thing to being good. *** It is true the day of miracles is past—except among inventors. *** Life is like the clever drawing of a tooth. We think the real thing is yet to come till we note with amazement that it is already past. *** You don't have to go down on the farm to see calves nowadays. *** A good name is better than riches. *** The great success in life is to be ready when opportunity knocks. *** To appreciate any person's high character is to fully know of their great care in building it, sometimes dearly, and at a price of a lifetime. *** There is need of men and women of better abilities to do things with an effort for a high purpose. Such men and women must be honest and efficient. *** Patronize our advertisers and you will help The Washington Bee. If some men had to eat their own words their health would be ruined forever. *** By way of advice, don't discourage the other fellow if you see he wants to help. There are many who are like the fly who sits on the wheel and says, "What a big dust I raise!" Do not be a fly. *** Too many people in this world are not happy unless they are bubbling over with unhappiness. *** To win—aim high and stick to it. *** Dodging duty never brings success. A strong man without confidence is weak. *** The man who lives to no purpose lives to a bad purpose. *** Life's chief compensations do not come in pay envelopes. *** Be sure you are wrong before you go back and sit down.

( The next alarm that is set up may bring to your ears the unwelcome and distracting information that bloody murder in its red-handed wantonness has struck down one of your loved ones—maybe the wage-earner in your home. Have you reflected on this and then acted intelligently in the light of your reflections? The Bee fears that your answer to the last part of this is; "No." Within a startingly brief space of time the city of Washington has been shocked by the cold-blooded murder of Dr. Brown and the cowardly assassination of Mr. Schnurr, supplemented by numerous hold-ups, pocket-book snatchings and dastardly assaults. And the most unfortunate part of the cases herein referred to is the fact that the criminals not only have not been apprehended, but also have yet within their grasp the opportunity to repeat these outrages. Now, no one can deny that it is the duty of the Police Department to cope with and handle such situations. Why is there such signal failure in apprehending dangerous lawbreakers? In the first place, our city is not adequately policed. The number of vacancies on the force is appalling. These places must be filled and at once. "Cut the enmeshing red tape and go to work," is what The Bee says to the District officials. Then, too, it might not be amiss to suggest that if more consideration were shown colored applicants the recruiting of acceptable men would be easier. In the second place, more judgment must be shown in the selection of detectives. Not every man who has walked a beat, has made arrests in cases of one or two murders or large thefts, and has a good reputation as a worker, is the logical man to become a detective. What is needed is men of inherent powers along the line of sensing the work of the craft, bold, daring criminals. A good detective should have the instinct for this type of work. He should be a hound on the trail; never faltering, never failing, never flinching and, greatest of all, never blundering. In addition, detectives of the present day must be possessed of more than average grade of mentality. Remember this: "No dumb officer of the law can ever out-think an intelligent, resourceful criminal." In recent years Washington has been treated to an effete sort of pink-tea, social-settlement, bizarre regime for developing policemen and detectives. What our police force needs now is more sanity and less sensationalism, more results and less resolving, more attention to crime baiting and less to traffic prating. Give us action and results!

Authority Says "Common Colds" Are Dangerous Forerunners Which May Spread to Ear, Lungs, Heart, Kidneys or Joints SO-CALLED COLD MAY INDICATE SCARLET FEVER,DIPHTHERIA,MEASLES,WHOOPING COUGH South. This, we must admit, is a good suggestion, but altogether impractical as a solution of the difficulties with which the race is confronted; for all the colored people cannot come out of the South. But, as a temporary expedient, it might be argued that enough could come out to make conditions better for those who must of necessity remain. We must admit that there is great force in this argument, and have no hesitation in commending it as worthy of the most serious consideration. Only a very short time ago I met at the station friends who had left the South many years ago and had made signal success in the North, but they had lost a relative in the North, and they were taking the body of that relative back to the South for burial. Can we not see in all this a depth of pathos that lifts the whole subject away above the ordinary trend of thought and awakens those emotions that are akin to God himself? But whatever else this may argue, it argues this: That naturally the colored people love the South and very properly regard it as their natural and proper home; but the dominant class of the South If You Wish to Avoid Such Troubles Put System In Good Condition Now. THOUSANDS HERE ARE FOLLOWING THIS ADVICE "There is little danger from 'Flu' this year, but watch the so-called common cold. A great many diseases develop from the cold and when we have a cold we are subject to any number of diseases. Our resistance is lowered and congestion in the nostrils, etc., permit of germs living in a very virulent state. The germs may spread to other parts of the body, attacking the ear, lungs, heart, joints, kidneys and brain. The more poisonous the germs and lower the resistance of the individual the more dangerous the case. A simple cold of the parent may mean death-dealing pneumonia for the child. It may cause ear abscess or spread down the windpipe and cause bronchitis or pneumonia. After the germs have gained entrance to the body they may be carried by the blood to various organs, producing valvular heart disease, rheumatism, kidney disease or meningitis. A cold may be a forerunner of tuberculosis. Adenoids are not only usually the result of repeated colds, but once established invite more colds. A cold lowers the resistance so that children having a cold are more likely to catch acute affections, such as measles, scarlet fever and dipftheria. To sum up, a cold must never be neglected—the person, young or old, who has a cold is "in shape" to take many diseases of a more serious nature or develop chronic troubles of a most dangerous kind. A cold is nature's warning of approaching illness very often. When your body is in good health and in good condition externally and internally your system will "throw off" a cold before it gets a foothold. Health is nature's defense against illness. A physically worn-out, exhausted body is in poor shape to fight infection. Constipation, over-eating, stomach trouble, loss of sleep, chilling, wet feet, lack of fresh air, overwork, etc., are some of the causes which result in lowered disease resistance. Tells What To Take. Keep the body clean inside and out and in the best physical condition and you will prevent such wintry troubles. If you are run down, weakened and lacking in resistance vitality, or if you already have a cold, or some member of the family has—then the thing to done very easily and quickly—withdo is to get rid of it—and this can be out loss of time from work and at little expense—just as proven in a thousand cases right here in Washington, and by the statements of local folks printed in the articles on the right.

ONLY ONE THING WOULD STOP MY COUGH AND COLD "I Tried Nearly Everything, But Hypo-Cod Was Only Remedy Relieved Me." FINEST REMEDY IN WORLD, HE DECLARES "I seemed to have a cough and cold all the time. I took everything I ever heard of, but nothing would stop my cough. Then a Mr. Thompson told me about Earle's Hypo-Cod and it did the work just fine. The first bottle gave me great relief and the second bottle stopped the cough and cold completely. Now I feel as fine as I ever did. No cough or cold at all. It's the best general debility medicine I ever saw in my life. It built up my system in fine shape and I'm sure there isn't a better remedy on the market than Hypo-Cod," writes Mr. F. Saxon, 404 S. Royal Street, Alexandria, Va. Hundreds of people in Alexandria drop in at a People's Drug Store here in Washington for a couple bottles of Hypo-Cod—because they know that it is powerful enough, nice tasting enough, and does its work sooner. Of course there are numerous different causes for coughs and colds, but once the system is fortified and built up it doesn't seem to make any difference to mother nature—she throws off one kind about as easy as another, it seems, and doesn't take long to do it either—once your disease resistance is increased, blood enriched, strength built up. Earle's Hypo-Cod is made of the very finest ingredients. Each bottle bears name Earle Chemical Co. which is a guarantee of finest quality in medicine.

BECAME WEAK—HYPO- COD BUILT. ME UP "I suffered from Grippe and Bronchitis—had severe pains in my head and was very weak. I would cough the whole night and wasn't able to sleep on account of the dreadful paroxysms of coughing. My nerves were in terrible condition due to coughing and loss of sleep. My physician said I needed a good tonic and agreed nothing would be better than Hypo-Cod, and soon as I began taking it my cough stopped—appetite returned and I started sleeping from seven to eight hours without awakening. My whole general condition improved wonderfully, by the time I had taken three bottles, and I feel like a new person. It is the most wonderful tonic on the market and is extremely pleasant to take," declared, Mugene M. Wilson, 1726 M st. N. W., Washington. is so very antagonistic to free colored people that they cannot live in the South. To stay with that class, a colored man must be either dead or a slaye. But why should the colored people not love the South, and why should they not live in the South? They have made the South what it is. They have watered it with their tears and enriched it with their blood for more than two centuries, and of right should remain there in perfect peace and happiness. It is peculiarly fitting that every colored man should cherish a profound interest in the approaching inauguration of President-elect Harding—not that the colored man has duties, obligations or responsibilities that are not in common with those of every other group of American citizens, but rather because there are many antiquated and un-American traditions that are depriving him of his common manhood rights and privileges such as do not affect any other group of American citizens. The coming of Mr. Harding to the White House at such a time as this undoubtedly has in it a weight of meaning for the unfortunate and oppressed the world over. BAD COLD MADE HIM HALF SICK Appetite Gone—Didn't Sleep Good— Felt Weak, Shaky. TOOK HYPO-COD; FEELS SPLENDID "I was a little run down from overwork and then caught a bad cold. It had me feeling shaky and bad all over. I wasn't getting much sleep, and hardly ate anything for days—so I bought Hypo-Cod. I tried other medicines first, but they didn't seem powerful enough to reach my trouble. Right away after taking Hypo-Cod I notice I began eating more and could sleep well. Then I began getting up in the mornings feeling fine and ready for work. It sure did help me. I can tell the world that all right," writes William Parker. 1326 Harrison avenue southeast, Washington, D. C. Thousands of people in Washington use Hypo-Cod because it is a nicer tasting, more modern and powerful tonic, which does its work promptly. It is powerful enough to do its work and costs very little compared with results.

"I was in a weak, rundown condition and had a cold. I coughed and coughed—had lost my appetite, too; and lacked 'pep' and ambition to hustle around; so I bought Hypo-Cod on the recommendation of others, and now I have no cold or cough—have a good appetite and sleep fine.

That is why one should take Hypo-Cod. A few pills or soothing syrup might allay the irritation, but what the system needs is strength to not only throw off the cold and cough, but build you up so you can ward off complications and even more serious illness. You cannot dq so until you are strong and well again. Thousands of people in Washington know that Hypo-Cod is a newer, more up-to-date and nicer-tasting tonic which does its work more promptly.

Seemed like I was never without a cough and cold—nervous and run-down, too, and I want to say that Hypo-Cod did do the work. It relieved my cold and I feel a great deal stronger and better. It greatly improved my whole general health," declared Charles S. Graham, 303 Seventh street southeast. Thousands of people have thus relieved themselves of wintry troubles and then fortified and strengthened themselves.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC: MEN AND THINGS. By the Sage of the Potomac. Quite a large number of our people visited Poli's Theatre last week. The theatre has been closed to colored Americans and evidently must be short of patronage. I am at a loss to understand why there are some among us who would much rather pay one dollar and five cents for a seat in this theatre than to patronize our theatres, where there is no bounds placed on the place where we must sit. I was surprised to learn that the colored Americans were placed just one floor below the roof. Let us patronize our own places of amusement. My friend Taylor, the jeweler, is some progressive business man. He has just placed in his store a new stock of jewelry. At this store can be purchased jewelry which is the equal of any elsewhere. This progressive business man needs to be complimented upon the manner in which he conducts affairs. To be convinced of the quality of stock in this store one needs only to take a passing glance. Some people have a poor conception of what it means to be a success in business. Success in business is the result of competition. If a man is successful in his business it is not necessary to knock another man who is launching out upon the sea of business merely because there is not an agreement in the methods. The business world is not intended to be a monopoly for one man or any set of men. There is enough room for all. Any business which is to be a success must have some financial backing. When the bottom is reached it may be found that the objection may be founded on personal grievance. The approach of the inauguration of President-elect Harding finds the number of applicants for jobs steadily on the increase. If all those who are expecting jobs under the new administration would land them, it would be necessary to create some new offices, such as Recorder of Deeds, Register of the Treasury, Auditor of the Navy and the like. Manager Vincent Thomas is making great preparations for the reopening of the Howard Theatre. After the remodelling has been completed this theatre promises to be the "playhouse most beautiful" south of New York City. Mr. Thomas promises to bring the best shows obtainable and the motion pictures will be unsurpassed. This young manager is leaving no stone unturned to make this reopening the greatest in the history of the theatre. The Oriental Grill is becoming the mecca for our leading, citizens.

Tuesday marked the beginning of the second semester in the public schools and the inception of the final lap of the 1920-21 academic year. It will be accompanied by the promotion of more than eight hundred eighth-grade pupils to the high schools and the usual upset conditions throughout the school system due to the mid-year reorganization. During the past week school authorities have been engrossed with plans pertaining to the reorganization of the system, while the pupils in their classrooms have been absorbed in the mid-year examinations, which, in most cases, determined whether they were to be promoted or be retained in their present classes for another half year, at least. The Board of Education held its first meeting Wednesday, February 2, at the Franklin School. The most important business before it was the appointment of a principal of the Miner Normal School. BROOKLYN TO CONDEMN KLU KLUX ASSOCIATION Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 3.—The first meeting in what is expected to grow into a nation-wide movement to forestall the revival of the Ku Kluxism, and especially its injection into the North, was held at the music hall of the Academy of Music here. These meetings are being organized by the Brooklyn Urban League and Lincoln Settlement Association. Many noted speakers will deliver addresses at the meetings. The Ku Klux is now apparently trying to get a foothold in the North on the wider platform of anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic bigotry. Mayor Hylan's recent public condemnation of this brazen attempt at intimidation has the approval of all who believe in law and order, but the approval can only be made effective through definite expression and a more general appreciation of the forces which are at work to smooth out racial misunderstanding through joint committees of responsible white and colored citizens. After all, the colored American bogey is the basic strength of the Ku Klux among the ignorant and the ill-informed, and if a little light is thrown on that part of the game they will not get very far with the rest of their program. Mrs. Harding Expresses Her Views to Representative of the Colored Syndicate Press Bureau. Mrs. Harding, wife of President-elect Harding, was interviewed by a representative of this bureau. Mrs. Harding was extremely busy packing and preparing to move from her Wyoming avenue home, but was willing to spare the time to extend a greeting of cheer to the colored people of the nation. She said: "I thank the colored press for the support which they gave to Senator Harding." When introduced to Mrs. W. L. Gray, president of the Colored Women's Republican Club of America, extending her hand, with a smile that one could see came from the heart, she stated: "The wonderful support that was given to Senator Harding by the colored women of our great nation shall ever be green in my memory," and concluded her remarks by stating: "I know Senator Harding will give to the colored citizens of our nation a square deal." COLORED WOMEN SPEAK TO WHITE COLLEGE "Y'S" In Virginia, the two Carolinas and Georgia a number of college women "Y's" decided last winter to learn something of race relations from the colored woman's point of view. Prominent colored "Y" worker's were invited to speak to them. As in the recent gathering of representative Southern white women in Memphis, the address of educated colored women proved not only of intense interest, but deeply moved the sympathies of their white hearers. Many of the college "Y's" have repeated the invitation for the present year and 1 the movement is spreading to other colleges. For several years the college Y. M. C.A's have been learning the colored American's side of our biracial life from colored men speakers—a policy which has doubtless aided the success of the "inter-racial committee" movement. That white women are trying to get a better understanding of the colored woman and her point of view regarding the needs of the women and children of their race is a sign of hope for the future for the entire South. FUNERAL OF ISAIAH LEWIS. The funeral services of the late Isaiah Jacob Lewis were held at Zion Baptist Church, F street southwest, last Sunday. After a long and serious illness, which Mr. Lewis bore with Christian fortitude, he succumbed to the grim monster death. He leaves a loyal and faithful wife, Mrs. Bell Lewis, to mourn his loss. DR. PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. 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. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. The funeral was up to date, the arrangements having been in the hands of the well-known funeral director, Mr. Thomas Frazier. The remains were interred in a handsome oak casket. Printed invitations were used on this occasion. Rev. J. H. Randolf was master of ceremonies. MAKE GOOD. The image shows a medical examination room with a stool and a rack of circular objects. The rack is filled with various medical instruments and devices, likely used for examinations or procedures. The stool is positioned in front of the rack, suggesting it is used for sitting during the examination. The room appears to be designed for medical professionals to perform various examinations. Messrs. John A. Clair and Norman Williams, two of our high school graduates of last year, are making good at Syracuse University. Both have pased their mid-year examinations and are now continuing their second semester week. Mr. Clair is the youngest son of Bishop M. W. Clair, Bishop in the M. E. Church.

C. 408 - 410 N. Gay St., Balto., Md. Mme. Ella France Jones, the Boston lyric soprano, who was heard at the Second Baptist Church last Thursday evening, enjoys the reputation of being not only a beautiful singer, but also one of the best concert singers, and is rapidly forging to the front as a real star. In Thursday's recital she certainly surpassed expectations and easily measured up to the best that has been said of her by Nathaniel Dett and others in the music world. However, Mme. Jones revealed the fact during her recital that she possesses real artistry in tone and phrasing, depth of feeling, a vibrating voice of great power, with purity and blitheness. She possesses the vocal equipment necessary to a successful artist, a stage presence of charm and poise, and above all, native talent. She almost brought tears to the eye in the singing of White's "Nobody Knows De Trouble I Saw" and Dett's "I'm So Glad Trouble Doan Last Always." They were thrilling plaintive melodies of the race that carried conviction and evoked deep religious fervor. Her "L'heure Exquise" (the Magic Hour) by Clough Leighter was a finely executed number, but she swept her audience off their feet in the rendition of the "Norwegian Love Song" by the same composer. Her voice rose from the pianissimo passages through the medium to the forte with the ease of a Melba, exacting in her andante and allegro movements, with a smooth flowing legato, and her high staccato-like tones' she carried her hearers away upon the wings of music to the realms of ecstacy. No sweeter voice may be heard than that of Mme. Jones and we await her return with anxiety. Miss Eva Dykes, the accompanist, was a marvel at the piano, performing the most difficult passages with the utmost grace and charm. Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, eloquitionist, delighted wonderfully in her unique readings from various authors, including our own Dunbar. Indeed she won fresh laurels upon her brow. The program was under the management of Wellington A. Adams and under the auspices of the Second Baptist Church choir, Mr. S. E. Minor, president. A large and appreciative audience was present. The program was as follows: "I Breathe, Thy Dear Name" (Salter), "Russian Lullaby" (Coverly), "A Birthday" (Woodman), Mme. Jones; "Nobody Knows De. Troubles" (White), "I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Always" (Dett), "I Stood On De Ribber of Jordan (Bürleigh), Mme. Jones; select reading, Mrs. Williams; "L'heure Exquise" (the Magic Hour) (Clough Leighter), "Vissi D'Arte—Missi D'Amore" (Músic and Love—These Have I Lived For) (Puccini), Mme. Jones; select reading, Mrs. Williams; "The Winds in the South (Scott), "Minnlied(Brams)" "Norwegian Love Song" (Clough Leighter), Mme. Jones. *** Harry Burleigh sang some of his "Negro Spirituals" at an evening of NEW LIFE TABLETS FOR MEN ONLY For lost manhood, nervousness seminal weakness, nightly emissions, debility and impotence.

Colored Musicians Hold Meeting at Dunbar. On Sunday afternoon, January 23, the local branch of the National Association of Colored American Musicians held a rally meeting to stimulate greater interest among Washington musicians. A good-sized audience turned out and was well repaid for their attendance. Mrs. Gregoria Fraser Goins, local president, presided, and she urged greater interest among those present in future meetings of the local body. Quite a few gave their names for membership at the close of the meeting, which promises larger activity among local musicians. Before the meeting closed Mrs. Pelham, Mrs. Tapscot and Wellington Adams were extended thanks on behalf of the organization for the assistance given in this rally meeting. Three Colored Artists Heard Here in Recital. Three cultivated colored American musicians were heard in recital at Dunbar High School on Thursday of last week, when Charlotte Wallace-Murray, mezzo soprano, was assisted by Tourgee DeBose, solo pianist and a graduate of Oberlin College, Ohio, and by Mary L. Europe, accompanist. Felix Weir, A. Boyd, Hall Johnson and M. Cumbo appeared in a string quartet recital in New York City on January 23 at the Jackson Music School. Clare Steele, mezzo soprano, and Mr. E. H. Margetson, accompanist, assisted on the program. Two new compositions by colored composers, vocal by Mr. Margetson, and the "Adagio Doloroso" from the quartet in G major, by Hall Johnson, were interesting features. * * * This week Mme. Florence Colt Talbert, soprano, of Detroit, Mich., appeared in a recital at the former Jewish Synagogue, Chicago, given by the Umbrian Glee Club. In Cleveland, Ohio, colored composers were honored by the Harmonic Club at the Masonic Auditorium, the white director of public school music directing the chorus. Burleigh's transcription of a Southern melody and Nathaniel Dett's "Listen to the Lambs" were the selections. Dett's number made a decided hit. *** James P. Johnson, a race musician, has recently been added to the Q-R-S player rolls staff of exclusive pianists for the purpose of supplying colored music. Other colored pianists will be added later, it is announced.

C., Rev; Levi Washington, pastor; set a pace Sunday evening at 5 o'clock through its newly organized Junior Missionary Society that has never been known before in that locality. At the hour for opening the church was packed. Standing room was at a premium. The audience was about evenly divided between the children and adults. The newly elected president, Miss Burke, had an excellent program for the occasion. Papers, all on missionary work; recitations, solos and duetts, all by the young folks, were of the highest order and most entertaining. A special feature was several solos of old-time folk songs rendered by a little Miss Bowie, about 8 years old. She accompanied herself on the violin. She is truly a musical prodigy. The charge to the Junior Society, their purpose, their work and how to accomplish it, was given by Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, past president of the District Missionary Society. It was forceful and full of wholesome advice to both young and old. She urged upon the mothers not to join the "money craze society," but stay at home and rear their children and help make the community better—help train strong boys and girls and fit them for better citizenship. Rev. Washington installed the newly elected officers. A splendid talk was given by Rev. Montan, of Virginia.

Those of us who are past middle age are prone to eat too much meat and in consequence deposit lime-salts in the arteries, veins and joints. We often suffer from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. There is no longer the slightest need of this, however, as the new prescription, "An-uric," usually gives immediate results as it is many times more potent than lithia, in ridding the impoverished blood of its poisons by way of the kidneys. It can be obtained at almost any drug store. Ask for Dr. Pierce's "Anuric" (anti-uric acid) for kidneys or backache, or send 10c to Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y., for trial package.
