SIXTY-THREE MEMBERS OF TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY WILL APPEAL CASE. Case of Sixty-three Former Soldiers in Twenty-fourth Infantry, Who Are Now Inmates of Federal Penitentiary, Gets Another Hearing, Probably Next September. The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times today says that efforts to release the Houston rioters, sixty-three former soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry, from the Federal penitentiary, have been renewed. A petition for executive clemency and pardon already has been forwarded to President Harding through Secretary of War Weeks and yesterday T. W. Bell, one of the three attorneys in the case, secured the signature of Judge John C. Pollock to an order allowing an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. With the petition, signed by the sixty-three prisoners, already forwarded, with other petitions being circulated for "at least a million signatures," if the hopes of the attorneys are realized, and with the appeal to be heard probably next September before the Circuit Court of Appeals at Denver, the Houston rioters have two chances for freedom other than waiting for the expiration of prison terms. The first attempt for freedom on the part of the Houston rioters was unsuccessful. It was in May of last year that an argument for writ of habeas corpus was made before Judge Pollock of the United States District Court. The brief in the case was not what the name implies; in fact, there were several volumes of printed testimony, affidavits and copies of military orders issued at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where the men were convicted. It was the contention of the counsel that the order of the court-martial was not in accordance with laws set out in the court-martial manual, that at the time of the riot the men were not doing soldier duty for the United States, and that the United States was not at war. It was alleged, too, that the former soldiers were convicted under special orders from headquarters of the Southern Department not regularly issued. It was claimed that many of the petitioners had n right to appeal and that there was no evidence against many of them. After the case was argued and all the briefs were submitted, Judge Pollock took it under advisement and after making a thorough review of the briefs upon his return from an extended vacation, the decision was handed down last December. The writ was denied, but Judge Pollock signed the order allowing an appeal. The Houston riot occurred on August 23, 1917. Incidents leading to the riot are described in a brief as follows: "Abont 10.30 o'clock a. m. August 23, 1917, city probate officers Lee Sparks and R, H. Daniels, raided a 'crap' game which was being conducted by some Negro boys at the corner of San Felipe and Wilson streets, Houston, Texas. Upon the approach of these officers, the boys ran, one of them going into a nearby house occupied by a colored woman. Officer Sparks, in an endeavor to locate the boy, spoke to the woman and an altercation ensued, which ended by the arrest of the woman. It is claimed that while placing the woman under arrest. Officer Sparks slapped her in the face. In any case. Private Alonzo Edwards, Company L, 24th infantry, who was partially drunk at the time, attempted to interfere with Officer Sparks, and as a result was promptly beaten up and placed under arrest. "About 2 o'clock p. m., of the same day, Corporal Charles Baltimoore, Company I, Twenty-fourth infantry, a member of the military police, approached Officer Sparks and Officer Daniels, engaging Sparks in conversation relative to the arrest of Edwards. Accounts vary as to the details of this conversation, but it was ended by Sparks striking Baltimoore over the head with a pistol. Baltimoore then ran. Sparks fired three shots from his pistol and pursued. Baltimoore into a house, where he had taken refuge. Baltimoore states that he was forced by Sparks to come out from under a bed, and upon doing so was again struck twice over the head with a pistol in the hands of Sparks, placed under arrest and taken to the city jail. "The news of that incident quickly reached the camp of the Twenty-fourth infantry, where it rapidly grew into a falst report that Corporal Baltimoore had been killed, which report served to intensify further the feelings of the soldiers against the city policemen." It was then that the soldiers went to Houston and the riot followed. There were nearly 400 soldiers in the riot. As a result of the court-martial proceedings several soldiers were executed. Nineteen or more were sentenced to life imprisonment. Others received short sentences served at the Disciplinary Barracks of Fort Leavenworth. Only a few were acquitted. Sixty-three still remain in prison. INTER-RACIAL GLEANINGS. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."—Moses "If men could only learn the lesson of mutual tolerance, understanding and brotherly love, the unity of the world would soon be an established fact."—Abdul Baha. There were many out of town guests at the Sacred Choral Cantata given by the choir of Asbury M. E. Church last Sunday. THE "GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO COLLEGE" MOVEMENT BY ALPHA PHI ALPHA Leo. G. Robinson, the Honor Member of Howard University. The "Go To High School, Go To College" movement of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which was presented to the youth of the country during the past week, was an entire success. In the District of Columbia some of the best orators of the fraternity were sent into every school to make a direct appeal to the students of all grades to remain in school, to go to the high school, and to college. The honor pupil of Howard University, Leo. G. Robinson, was assigned to the Alfred Jones School, where he inspired the students and faculty with his earnest appeal and eloquence. Mr. Robinson is a member of the Medical School of Howard University, and the star athlete of this university, who won great honors for Howard in the Penn relay games, held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., April 29. These relay games are the largest in the country and rank with the Olympic games of the eastern world. The conjoined report is a report of the Penn relay games which was sent. (Special to The Bee.)

This organization in session in 1919, inaugurated a campaign to be waged in high schools within reach of its thirty-one cities known as the "Go To High School, Go To University." The Howard University track team, composed of H. K. Perry, Robert Craft, R. E. Contee and Leo G. Robinson, who were entered in the one-mile college relay in the Penn relay games held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., April 29 and 30, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, won great honors for the university when they finished first over such schools as Rensselaer Polytechnic, Carnegie School of Technology, Hobart College, and Tufts College. Each of the first three runners for Howard maintained their relative positions. Leo G. Robinson, the last runner for Howard, started out in fifth place, with Rensselaer Polytechnic leading, and Carnegie School School of Technology, Hobart College, and Tufts College following, respectively. Robinson maintained fifth place until the third turn of the track, when he began to sprint, and gradually eased up until he had caught the leading man for Rensselaer at 50 yards from the finish; whom he led at the finish by a full two yards in the brilliant run which he made in about 50 seconds flat. A banner was awarded to the university and gold watches and medals to each of the runners. Of the various teams for the District of Columbia, including Georgetown University, Gallaudet, George Washington University, and a number of the high schools entered in the Penn relay races, Howard University was the only entrant to win. Mr. Robinson is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, as is also Captain E. Gaylord Howell, and a B. A. of Yale, 1920, and Captain Joseph E. Trigg, B. S., of Syracuse University, who accompanied him to the Alfred Jones School, where they were warmly received by the faculty and pupils.

This organization in session in Chicago in December, 1919, inaugurated a campaign to be waged among all public and high schools within reach of its thirty-one chapters. This campaign is known as the "Go To High School, Go To College" movement." MR. OLIVER PERRY The Musical Editor of the Washington Bee MR. OLIVER PERRY The Musical Editor of the Washington Bee KING GEORGE HONORS ROLAND HAYES, TENOR A dispatch from London tells a wonderful story of how King George, so delighted with the songs sung by Roland Hayes, who is on an English tour, presented him with a diamond pin. Mr. Hayes made such a favorable impression during his first visit to London that he was invited to Buckingham Palace, where he sang before the royal family. The royal family was delighted with the voice and conduct of the entertainer and the King observed how different the songs were from what the English had been taught to believe were characteristic Negro melodies. Mr. Hayes told the King that the songs he sang sprang from the religious fervor worked to white heat during the camp meeting and were never associated with comic or minstrel entertainments. He also spoke of his parents to the royal family. He has promised to do for the Negro race just what Sir Walter Scott did for the English. THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

BOOK ON FOLK MUSIC IS HAILED BY PRESS Mrs. Berlin Has Compiled Valuable Work on Primitive Melodies. Mrs. Natalie Curtis Burlin, an indefatigable and enthusiastic worker in the field of primitive folk-music, has presented a new phase of research in a book entitled "Songs and Tales From the Dark Continent," recently published by G. Schirmer, New York and Boston. The sources of the original material in the handsomely printed book, with cover decorations copied from designs drawn from African textiles, were two young men who were for several years students at the Hampton Institute, whither they had come from their native Africa. Except in respect to syncopated rhythms, the music of the song recorded from the singing of Mrs. Burlin's helpers gives the student of Afro-American folk songs little help, though it confirms much that has been written about the innate musical capacity of the Negro. The Zulu songs are poetically and musically on a higher plane of artistic development than those from East Africa, and show greater evidence of foreign influences. the songs of the Ndau tribe sung by Simango are textually as curt as the songs of the red men of North America. In form and fancy those of the Zulus show a higher degree of intellectuality and sense of the beautiful. The two songs of the "Rain Ceremony" of the Ndaus, illustrate the popular belief that the noise of thunder is caused by the clashing together of "thunder birds" in conflict and the beating of their wings against the iron sky. The "Spirit Songs" are songs sung to exercise witches or evil spirits. Of the folktales related by Simango four are "Brer Rabbit" stories like those of Uncle Remus. In one the hare is outwitted by the tortoise Nevertheless, Brer Rabbit at last gets his "come uppance," as they say in Yankeeland. Mrs. Burlin's book is a valuable contribution to folklore in general and folk-music in particular, and deserves wide edistribution—H. E. Krehbiel, in New York Tribune. No Jazz For President Harding. President Harding does not care for the modern syncopators, but prefers good, light music, such as "Erminie," and "Robin Hood." This shimmy music, produced by the modern jazz bands, with their wailing saxophones, acrobatic drummers, and mutted cornets, may have taken the country by storm, but it does not appeal to a man whose opinions on many subjects are earnestly listened to by 105,000,000 people. His opinion on the question of music is worthy of consideration, for he used to play in a band out in New Caledonia, Ohio. He likes such music as good opera and a little of the heavier stuff as "Ada," or "Madame Butterfly," but no jazz. In Germany, the musical country well known to all, there are more than 500 music schools. *** The soft sweet tunes of a violin to accompany the organ in a choir such as Asbury M. E. Church has, adds much to the choir as well as to the church. There are very few, if any, who have this. It would be well if many more had such instruments. *** Miss Carribel Cole, Noted Singer To Appear in Louisville, Ky. Miss Carribel Cole; well known in the North and in this city, whose ININE—BEE—terest and activity in the creation and development of rythmic dances, gives it a connotation that insures quality in her productions, and whose wonderful work in this city was the forming of a junior dancing class at the Myrtilla Minor Normal School in 1914, and who wrot hr first ballet in three acts, "The Reveries of Youth," which was presented at the Howard Theatre, will soon appear in Louisville, Ky. Miss Cole has studied dancing with its technique as an art, with the foremost masters in New York, Boston, and Chicago. She is not only a foremost teacher of our race aud authore, but is called "The Colored American Pavlova." A Grand Musicale. On Monday evening, at 8 p. m., at the Second Baptist Church, the choir of said church, assisted by local talent from various church choirs rendered to the large gathering there a wonderful program. The affair was opened by an invocation from the pastor, Rev. J. L. Holloman. Mr John Foreman rendered a recitation. The affair was one highly appreciated by all who attended. THE LIGHT THAT REPELS. (The Christian Index.) Light repels some people. It has the quality of opening up things to view that are decidedly objectionable to a great many people. This opposition to light manifests itself in various fields of human activities. The effort to obscure, becloud, confuse things, seems to be the delight among some people; they like to suppress the light and embarrass the instruments of light or worse, smash them. There is truth, but they don't want it told; there may be facts which will give proper and needed information, but they would rather not have them in the records, or if there are, they suppress the records. Some confused and dark situations might be cleared up by letting in the light, but they don't want the light, and don't want those who love the light. Why is this? The Gospel, according to Saint John, third chapter, and nineteenth verse, answers: "Men loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil." CONFIDENCE IN HARDING. The National Equal Rights League has sent the following communication to President Harding: Chicago, Ill., May 6, 1921. To the President, Warren G. Harding, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir—The National Equal Rights League, in which colored Americans are banded together for self-protection of full rights of citizenship, is encouraged by the report in the colored American newspapers to congratulate you upon your true and honorable Americanism which prompts you to entirely ignore the bold and un-American petition of white employees of the Federal Government against the appointment of colored citizens by the President of the United States to official positions wherein such will have authority over them. This is exactly what we expected of your honorable self, and we are not surprised that you intend, we feel sure, to accord equal rights to all, regardless of race, color or creed. Respectfully submitted for the League, REV. M. A. N. SHAW, Pres., W. MONROE TROTTER, Sec'y. NEW SOUTH HONORS Rev. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, States That "Dr. Washington Gave a New Definition to Negro"—Young Negroes Are Thrifty—Making Home-Makers at Tuskegee—Willcox and Rosenwald Parties Visit Shrine of Booker Washington. Hampton, Va., April 17.—Colored American progress and inter-racial co-operation have always been the objectives of Tuskegee Institute. The fame of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, who founded Tuskegee Institute in 1881, has gone throughout the world. Today any important event at Tuskegee brings together from distant parts of the United States a distinguished company of white and colored leaders, who are keenly alive to the need of training the colored youth for all-round, useful, community service and for leadership in the work of promoting racial good-will between white and colored citizens. The recent fifth annual observance of Founder's Day at Tuskegee was no exception to this rule. The principal speaker was the Rev. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, well-known pastor of the Ponce de Leon Avenue Baptist Church of Atlanta, and fearless member of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation. Dr. Jones ably presented Dr. Washington's fundamental ideas of education and right living. He spoke fearlessly in favor of giving colored citizens everywhere an opportunity to develop their latent capacities. He spoke with prophetic insight. A few excerpts from Dr. Jones' Founder's Day address follow: "Because Booker Washington has lived and achieved, anything is possible for the colored race. Booker Washington made a more significant contribution to the freedom of the colored race than even Abraham Lincoln. Booker Washington so lived that he absolutely reversed the verdict of a world in regard to colored people. He removed a supreme barrier from the progress of his race. Armstrong's Call: "General Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute, and was in apostolic succession to Mark Hopkins, said to Booker Washington, 'Come, you can play a man's part in the world,' and Booker Washington stood up, a man among men. As the result of General Armstrong's call, there was born a real man—a man with no freakish expression of egotism—a man who did not pose before his people as an exception—a man who became an apostle of his people. "Booker Washington, with radiant revelation of a new freedom, rushed back to a most ignorant and a most hopeless people' and said: 'I have found life for everybody. Come, come, come! "Booker Washington translated his soul and his compelling compassion of an apostolic heart into Tuskegee. Today you and I are reaping the fruits of his splendid martyrdom. "There was never a note of despair in his voice, and yet no man knew quite so, well as Booker Washington the obstacles and cruelties which were in the way of his race. He refused, however, to place the emphasis upon the wrongs of his people. He believed his people could win freedom, and, therefore, he emphasized the countless opportunities of his people. He never pointed downward. He always pointed upward and spoke with a radiant smile. "Booker Washington so lived, that he said, 'To be a colored man is no barrier to any accomplishment.' He so lived that he stands out against the past and says to us today, 'To be a colored man is to be a Booker Washington, and to be a Booker Washington is to demand, that the world give a definition of manhood which is supremely above race.'" Dr. John described in some detail two types of leaders which are found among white and colored people. He declared that "there are men who have no faith in the colored man and who point only to the ignorance of a race and to the crimes of the idle and the debauched. On the other hand, "there are black men who are searching for every single injustice, are looking for every dark cloud, and are pouring bitterness into their fellowmen's 'souls." Washington Had Faith. "The Booker Washington type of leader," declared Dr. Jones, "has his eyes clear and clean and his vision unclouded. He sees all the wrongs and does not fear to tell them. He sees the obstacles in the path of his race's progress, and does not pause before them. He believes in the white race and in the black race. He also sees what they may become. The man who tries to lead men with infidelity in his heart is paralyzing in his influence. The spirit of Booker Washington is athrob and aglow today throughout the South and the Nation. Let us send to the North and the West, the South and the East, this message: 'Come see Tuskegee, the lengthened shadow of Booker Washington's personality, and swear by Booker Washington's name that white and black people of the South and of the Nation shall hear glad news and the gospel of his life.' Dr. Jones told graphically the story of Booker Washington's progress from being a ragged boy in the coal mines of West Virginia to his call by General Armstrong of Hampton for service as the founder and principal of Tuskegee Institute. He declared that Dr. Washington had challenged his admiration, persuaded his reason, and won his affections. He added, "The supreme contribution of Dr. Washington to his race and to America was in the striking and compelling force with which he made a new definition of 'Negro' in terms of supreme accomplishment, and worthy, to be compared with any leaders in the world." Promise of Better Days. Many Northern and Southern friends of Tuskegee attended the opening exercises at the Children's Houst, which is Tuskegee's elementary school. After an inspection of the bright-faced, clean, well-dressed boys and girls who had assembled on the parade ground near the school, the guests assembled indoors and listened to the boys and girls, who had enjoyed the unusual opportunity of good school instruction, recount the details of Dr. Washington's life from the time that he worked in a salt mine to the day of his death, when he was mourned by thoughtful people throughout the world. That Dr. Washington's message of thrift and hard work has found lodgment in the minds and hearts of young colored America was shown in the straightforward address of a very dark ten-year-old boy, who stated that, after his forenoon's work in the second grade, he worked regularly in a grocery store and received three dollars each week, and out of his savings had already bought a fourteen-dollar suit of clothes, which he was wearing, and had three dollars to his credit in the local thrift club. Home and Citizenship. Tuskegee Institute, like Hampton, the parent institution, has emphasized the importance of teaching people by demonstration methods. As a part of the Founder's Day celebration, members of the Tuskegee senior class gave a series of demonstrations as centering on "The Home." One student gave an interesting talk on "Repairs in the Home," and in the presence of a large audience, put in a pane of glass, rehung a gate, nailed a picket on a fence, nailed down a new threshold, made a window-screen, and put on a door knob. Another student showed how the modern homemaker may take the drudgery out of laundering by using some of the more common labor-saving devices. Another student showed how the sick should be treated in the home and how the mother or school teacher can relieve boys and girls who have many kinds of falls and bruises. Another student showed how the home can save money through using their old clothes and still provide garments which are attractive. Finally, a Negro 'boy, who in spite of the fact that he has been left a large estate in British Guinea, is studying agriculture at Tuskegee, demonstrated how a profitabt home garden can be made. Inspiring addresses were delivered by William G. Willcox, of New York, chairman of the Tuskegee board of trustees, who brought again to Tuskegee a party of friends from the North; Charles E. Mason, of Boston, a Tuskegee trustee; Rev. Dr. Henry S. Huntington, of "The Christian Work," New York; Dr. Wm. Jay Schieffelin, of New York, and Dr. Alexander Mann, of Boston, both Tuskegee trustees; Edwin R. Embree, of the Rockefeller Foundation, New York; Dr. W. W. Alexander, and Richard H. King, both of Atlanta, and both executive officers of the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation; Julius R. Rosenwald, of Chicago, a Tuskegee trustee, who brought from Chicago a party of friends to attend the Founder's Day celebration; Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, who spoke on HIGH RIDGE PARK NEAR LAUREL, MARYLAND A NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE HEART OF MARYLAND TEN MINUTES WALK FROM STORES, BANKS, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, MARKETS, STEAM AND ELECTRIC STATIONS, AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY. THE LOTS The size is 50 x 150 feet. It is easy to own a lot at HIGH RIDGE PARK. You don,t have to dig down very deep into your pockets nor do you have to pay for your lot at once.

Castelberg's Castelbe Castelberg's "Largest Credit Jewelers in the World" 935 Pennsylvania Avenue --- --- This great interest was occasioned by the visit of the Liberian Commission of America, headed by his excellency, C. D. B. King, president of the Republic of Liberia, and including a very representative staff. From the moment the distinguished party arrived at Broad Street Station Monday noon, until they departed for Washington, D. C., yesterday afternoon, Philadelphia was witnessing and indulging in one round of gala events. A jubilant reception was accorded Mr. King and the Liberian Plenary Commission when they arrived at ```markdown ``` Broad Street Station. From the station the party proceeded to the Hotel Dale, where luncheon was served, and then to City Hall. Mayor Moore heartily welcomed the distinguished guest. President King responded eloquently and expressed pleasure at the Mayor's knowledge of his country's affairs. The scene at Independence Hall, where the Mayor led the Liberian president and his retinue of the first lap through historic Philadelphia was impressive. President King placed a wreath on the spot where President Lincoln once stood in front of the old State House and later placed the wreath before the Liberty bell. President King stood with bowed head on the spot where the great emancipator had stood. During that evening a banquet was tendered at the Hotel Dale, in honor of the president. Many speeches were made by some of our most prominent men of Philadelphia in the affairs of the race. That evening there were meetings in various parts of Philadelphia, which were attended by the President and his Plenary Commission. From 10:30 to 12 the Citizens' Republican Club doors were open and an informal reception was held, speeches made and hundreds had an opportunity to shake hands with the Negro president. The climax came when the doors of the palatial residence of Mr. and Mrs. Beresford Gale, 400 Haverford avenue, were thrown open to allow President King, and his party to meet colored Philadelphia at closer range than could possibly be had at public demonstrations. Invitations had been issued to a small party of friends to sit at luncheon with the honor guests, after which many prominent citizens participated in a reception which will linger in the memories of the distinguished visitors. Covers had been laid for twenty-four in the beautiful dining-room, and with one of Philadelphia's foremost caterers in charge, not one detail was overlooked in making this the elaborate social affair which the occasion demanded. Right here we must ask forbearance on the part of the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Gale, for personal references, for we feel that all of our readers, and the world at large, should hear and know of the success which has attended the efforts of this wonderful man who is now rated among the wealthiest colored men of America. THE LIGHT THAT ATTRACTS. (The Christian Index.) The same light that repels some people attracts others. And herein lies the hope of any organization, of any nation, yea, the hope of the world. There are people, thank God, who are attracted by the light. They want light and seek it, and are happy when they have found it. And when they have found it they set out to bring others unto the same light. The appearance of light with its searching rays has no terrors for them; they feel no sense of fear when the light increases its brightness. The more it shines, the more they want it to shine. They seek not to obscure the light nor oppress those who are attracted by it. They believe in progress and feel that light is essential to progress. They believe in order, growth and freedom; and light is conductive to these things. Why is this? The Gospel answers: "But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God." VICTOR OVER OBSTACLES. Charles Lee Cook, a manufacturer of Louisville, Ky., is to deliver an address May 20, before the convention for amity, between the colored and white races, to be held at the Congregational Church, 10th and G streets northwest, has just arrived in the city. He has been a cripple from youth, and finds it necessary to use a little conveyance of his own construction for transportation from place to place. But he has overcome many obstacles, and regards adversity as a spur to success. NORTH CAROLINA HAS LAW TO CHECK LYNCHING. North Carolina's new anti-lynching bill is entitled "An Act To Promote the Due Administration of Justice and To Lessen the Crime of Lynching." It permits the judge holding court in which an indictment is found to transfer trial of the case to another court without preliminary appearance of the defendant before him. Thus an accused colored man may not only be sent to a distant county for safe-keeping, but may remain there for unprejudiced trial without even a temporary return to the neighborhood of the alleged crime. It is believed that the law will greatly and in securing justice for those accused of serious crimes. T. A.

It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos.

The commission on inter-racial co-operation has in its wisely, quiet method of procedure organized in over six hundred counties and many cities. The Bee has always said that one of the aids in the solution of the problems of mob, lynch, and other odious acts in this country, is the co-operation of the cool headed people of both races. Such an inter-racial co-operation was the outgrowth of a conference which was held in Atlanta early in 1919, to consider some grave problems of race relations that has been brought to the surface on account of the World War. Its greatest organized work is being done in the Southern States. The Bee feels that the better thinking people of both races in the District of Columbia will welcome the new order of things, and will do all in their power for its growth and success. These people have together faced many knotty problems in the District of Columbia, not the least among them being the terrible riot which for a while menaced all human life in the District of Columbia. The Bee suggests that the publications of the commission be given the widest circulation. While these publications do not lay down any hard and fast plan for any State or community, yet they may furnish thought for greater achievement in the fields of literature on the inter-racial subject. ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. The Bee congratulates the people of Anacostia upon their determination to have a community secretary elected by the people.

The people of all classes and creeds in the community turned out on this occasion and stood solidly together for the election of their favorite candidate; a candidate who was fully capable of serving the rapidly developing and enterprising community of Anacostia. The result of their effort was the election of Mrs. Helen Wells, a former school teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia.

The vim and vigor of this splendid woman has permeated and inspired every activity to greater efforts.

Sixteen, public graded and high schools today were designated music centers by Robert Lawrence, organizing director for Washington's music week. At these schools the "music week" programs will be centered for the benefit of respective neighborhoods. Each will be incharge of a community music leader and will be the operating central point for the community directive agencies. The white school centers are as follows: Eastern High School, Western High School, Central High School, Business High School, Wilson Normal School, Park View School, Jefferson School, Thompson School, Powell School and E. V. Brown School. The colored schools are: Dunbar High School, Miner Normal School, Sumner School, Birney School, National Training School for Girls at Lincoln Heights and Phelps School. Howard University has been also designated as a music center. Mr. Lawrence tomorrow will begin a series of visits to the various school centers with a view to instituting music classes. He had an interview today with Manager C. F. Thomas regarding the parochial schools of the city, of which two or three will be selected as music centers. Plans for the music assemblies in the school centers are practically completed. Mr. Lawrence said today, and all that remains on this line is put the plans in operation. Next week special attention will be given the colored school. Classes for leaders in the colored schools will start in the near future and the same advantages will be accorded as are given the present classes conducted by Mr. Lawrence in the music room of Central High School. Co-operation by outside agencies is reported growing daily and the mapping out of definite programs for music week is about to begin. It is probable that posters will be printed and distributed throughout the city for the purpose of giving the public general information as to music week, from May 29 to June 4.

C. News Service.) St. Louis, May 17.—The passing of the American home was the theme of a sermon preached by Most Rev. Archbishop Glennon at the New Cathedral last Sunday in opening the daily devotions to the Blessed Virgin during the month of May. The contrast between the simple, humble, holy home of Nazareth and that of the ordinary family of today was pictured by His Grace. After describing the life of the Holy Family in their rude cottage in Nazareth, Archbishop Glennon asked: "I wonder how many homes there are like that today? I fear there are very few, and the number is-growing less. The tendency today is against the humble home, where there is peace and joy. People don't want to live in those homes today, and the world doesn't want to build them. Irish Form of Home Greeting. "We still have some of the traditions of Nazareth still remaining in some of the European countries. In Ireland, for instance, you knock at the door of the cottage and your first salutation is: 'God save all here,' and the answer comes from those that are living there, 'God save you kindly.' When you are leaving they say, 'God be with you.' "Suppose you knock at the door of one of these mansions' in St. Louis and say, 'God save all, here,' what would they say? They probably would send for the police, thinking you were a burglar. "There is a new spirit abroad—a spirit which means to live in luxury. There are many who, instead of the 'domestic drudgery of the home,' would prefer to live on the streets. The time was when Sunday evening found the people around the fireside, in the home, humble though it was. The people have, now deserted these homes; they are found rushing after pleasure, flitting from one moving picture to another, brilliant in fluffy ruf- --- A (THE ONLY COLORED OSTEOPATH IN THE CITY) Uses this Osteopathic traction and treatment table in his office.

"I tell you that if these homes cease from our land you may quickly read in their downfall the decline of the nation. When domestic virtue fails, and home fails, you have not the foundation on which to build national life and national prosperity." Pursuit of Pleasure Baneful. The desire to live in luxury and pleasure has filled the hearts of all the people, His Grace pointed out. "Enter many a modern home of wealth. Where are the family? They are all gone. Where? No one knows. Is this a home? Is peace there, and law and order? No. It is a house of disorder, of self-will, of wilfulness where no law reigns except the will of the individuals."

MAKES TEST CASE OF PROTEST AGAINST "BIRTH OF NATION." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today issued a statement signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary, stating that a test case would be made of the protest against the performance in the Capitol Theatre, New York, of the motion picture, "The Birth of a Nation." "The colored veterans of foreign service who distributed leaflets in front of the Capitol Theatre," said Mr. Johnson's statement, "and were arrested for so doing, are to make legal history in the courts of New York. On Thursday morning, May 12, in the West Side Court, Magistrate Ten Eyck offered to dismiss the charges against them if they would promise not to picket the Capitol Theatre any more. "Through their attorneys. Aiken A. Pope and James C. Thomas, retained by the N. A. A. C. P., the pickets replied that they would not make any premise and preferred to make a test case of it. Accordingly Magistrate Ten Eyck found them guilty and suspended sentence. The cases are now to be appealed by the N. A. A. C. P. "The New York ordinance, under which the pickets were arrested, prohibits the distribution of 'any hand bill, circular, card or other advertising matter,' and the appeal to a higher court will be based upon the contention, that the N. A. A. C. P. leaflets distributed by the pickets, showing up the Ku Klux Klan propaganda in the 'Birth of a Nation' cannot possibly be called 'advertising matter.' "The N. A. A. C. P. appeal will raise the entire question as to the right of people to protest by distributing educational literature in public in New York City. The question of the construction of the ordinance is a new one and has not before been raised. "The N. A. A. C. P. intends to fight the case until a conclusion is reached. The matter is entirely one of legal principle as it was admitted in court by Magistrate Ten Eyck that no disorder was charged against the N. A. A. C. P. pickets. "The N. A. A. C. P. desires especially to commend those pickets who were arrested for their courage and steadfastness. They are: Mrs. Helen Curtis, Mrs.' Laura Jean Rollock, Miss Katherine Johnson, all of them Y. W. C. A. workers, who served overseas and were under fire at the front: Edward Frazier, ex-service man and Columbia University student, and Llewelyn Rollock, ex-sailor." A WELCOME VISITOR. Mrs. Maria L.

Over a million dollars, or to be exact, $1,206,216.46, was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature before its adjournment last week. This amount was given for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1st next. Of this amount approximately one-third is to go to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute for salaries, buildings and current and other expenses. For the same purpose the Bluefield Colored Institute had placed to its credit $133,644. Storer College, which is a private school, was given $6,000. The hospital for insane, industrial school for boys, and the industrial school for girls, were given a splendid sum with which to enable them to carry on the work. The State has also purchased a 650-acre farm for the site of the hospital for the insane. The people are also in hopes that the State will soon give the same to the blind and deaf. When all the institutes are completed the State will be credited for giving to the colored Americans eight institutions and those under the management of colored Americans over a million dollars. COLORED. MAN AWARDED $1,000 DAMAGES AGAINST INVADER OF HIS HOME. Hutchinson, Kans, May 17.—As a climax to the $10,000 suit filed some months ago by Orval Craig, colored, against Chas. Fife, a white shoe-maker of this city, the jury composed of whites, brought in a verdict today in the District Court giving Craig judgment for $1,000 and costs. In the selection of a jury a colored man was chosen by the attorneys for the plaintiff, but the objection by the counsel for the defense was sustained by the Court, causing his withdrawal. The case drew nation-wide attention and its verdict as rendered by the jury goes down as the first case of its character which has been brought to a successful conclusion, wherein the white man's respect and reverence for the sanctity and purity of a black man's home was made evident and reparation accorded therefor. Delivery To Any Part Of City JONES L. J. Denham) 1847 7th St. N. W. The successful termination of this case is largely due to the surprising legal ability of Attorney Wm. A. Bradshaw. The young, lawyer, was highly complimented by the court upon his skill and legal knowledge. GOLD CHARMS FOR HOWARD FOOTBALL TEAM. Members of the Howard University 1920 - Varsity football steam were awarded gold football charms recently as an emblem of honor for their splendid service in this athletic activity. Thirty-nine of Coach Morrison's stalwarts are the happy recipients of these gold football charms, which bear the letter "H" in blue enamel, together with the initials of the player, and the name of the position on the team. The giving of the charms this year is a departure from an old custom of giving the players sweaters. The players are elated over the change since the charms are of a more permanent nature.

BYARS A Progressive Race Man To Prevent Old Age Coming too Soon! "Toxins (poisons) in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as filters for such poisons. If you wish to prevent old age coming too soon and increase your chances for a long life, you should drink plenty of pure water and take a little 'An-uric,'" says the famous Dr. Plerce of Buffalo, N. Y. When suffering from backache, frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain a little "Anuric" from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find it more potent than lithia. GREAT DAY OF GOD. Great Day of God, long looked for, Thy dawn we do proclaim. Great day when every nation Shall praise His Holy Name.

Great Day, when God, the Father, Is known o'er all the earth, And to His whole creation Hath given a new birth. Great Day of the unveiling Of Truth's deep mysteries, When every hidden secret Of earth and sky and seas. In all their wondrous beauty. To man shall be revealed; Nor can an act or motive By man now be concealed. Great Day of God, All glorious; Great Day of Peace, so blest: The thought of Thee brings gladness, And dilates every breast. Great Day of one religion, When all are understood; One faith in Life Eternal, One God, one Brotherhood. ST. AUGUSTINE'S MAY PROCESSION. Sunday evening at 4 o'clock. St. Augustine's Church, Fifteenth street, between M and L streets northwest, was the scene of one of the most beautiful sights one would wish to see. The church both inside and outside was crowded awaiting the beginning of the May procession, which is held every year at every Catholic Church in honor of the Blessed Mother. At 4 o'clock sharp, the procession began with one of the Sunday School boys carrying the banner. The small boys were all dressed in white and the larger ones in dark blue suits with white ties and a white flower. The girls were all in white, which gave the scene a beautiful view. There were more than 500 children who took part in this affair, every one of them beautifully dressed and belonging to the church. The mothers, friends and Sisters of St. Augustine's Church were down in the basement of the church before the procession began, to see that everyone was properly fixed in their places in time. After the May Queen, who was Miss Ethel Sutton, of 2236 Twelfth street northwest, led the procession around for a while, singing the beautiful May hymns, they entered the church where they continued to sing the beautiful hymns and then prayers were offered, after which the procession marched out again to end the wonderful work done by the children of the church. Among the young Misses who had active parts were: Misses Ethel Sutton, May Queen; Ruth Sutton, Ellen Holton Florence Halley, Hilda Minor, and Josephine DeVaul. These were caretakers of the smaller children. SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK. The Evening Supper Dance, under the direction of Mr. Phil Green on Monday evening, was one of success.
