The Bee is not to be dictated to by Senator Spencer's clerk as to its rights and wishes him to understand it. Is he the official dictator of the world? The following conversation over the phone will demonstrate what The Bee is driving at: On last Monday night while reading the reports of our correspondent sent in from Kansas City relative to the convention recently held there by the National League of R. W. (?), the office telephone rang. The editor of The Bee was called for by Senator Spencer's clerk when the following conversation followed: The Senate clerk said with a dictatorial voice: "I understand that you have written to Mr. Washington of Kansas City to started. Address of Mrs. Monen L. Gray, Chairman Negro Women's National Republican League at Kansas City, Missouri, August 22, 1921. Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is inspiring to look upon this splendid audience of noble women and men who are gathered here to work for the Second Emanicipation of the American Negro. In the fall of 1918 when the "Plague of Wilsonism" hung, like a pall of death, over every Negro home in the land, with a heart burdened with sorrow and pain, I felt that the hour had come for the women of our race to strike a "blow" for deliverance. With the "ballott" soon to be placed in their hands, under the leadership of that Giver of every Good and Precious Gift, I saw, in the heavens, a "bow of promise for my people." With this vision before me, I went without money and without influence to the homes of many of the women living in the District of Columbia, still holding their residence in the States, urging them to unite that we might be able to strike for Justice, Freedom and for Citizenship. On November 24th a meeting was held in Washington and an organization formed to be known as the Negro Women's National Republican League. Later this organization was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, with headquarters at 1721 You Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. The president of the national body; according to reports from the West, calls herself District of Columbia president, yet she claims a residence in the States. We take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Mary Williams and Miss Beatrice Foster of Union Wesley. Church for soliciting annual members for the Day Nursery. **** Some of our needs—crib mattresses, sheets and covering for the same. Also coal and wood. Who will volunteer to supply these articles to keep our little ones comfortable during the winter? **** Let us concentrate our thoughts and our efforts in the interest of the Day Nursery, and our desires will be accomplished. We repeat the cry of the man of Macedonia, "Come over and help us." --- VOL. XLII NO. 17 I understand that you have written to Mr. Wassen of Kansas City to send you a report of the convention recently held there by some women." The editor queried, "Was it your convention?" The clerk responds, "No." The next question followed in a natural sequence from the editor, "What have you to do with the women's convention?" The clerk responded "Nothing." At her wit's end the editor awaited the next move by the clerk. He then challenged her right to seek the information and made several imaginary remarks about himself and his relation to the convention when The Bee representative terminated the conversation by appealing to his intelligence to get his facts well in hand and submit them to the office of The Bee. The Bee deals only with facts and not imaginary and dodges no issue. Perhaps it may interest the readers to know at this juncture that the editor is not honored with the acquaintance of Mr. Wasson to whom the Senate clerk said she had written. Several reports of the convention came from Kansas City to The Bee, to this effect: That the convention of the National Women's Republican League (?) was one with a cut and dried program. This fact is backed up by the call issued by the president June 28, 1921, in which the president states what the convention should consider at its meeting instead of allowing the delegates assembled to state what they desired to consider. According to the doctored constitution there was no election of officers and was read to the members present after its treatment. The convention was called at a time when many of the women of the country who had done the real big things for the race were attending the sessions of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends and the convention of the Knights of Pythians. The absence of the noted political women of the District of Columbia, where the mothers and fathers of the convention reside and the noted political leaders of the West was noteworthy. All of these things, according to our correspondent, caused the people of the west to think that the organization is not a representative one of the women of the country. The president was given the power to make two appointments provided she did not make them in the District of Columbia—that of second vice president and national organizer. Why not in D. C.? The following excerpt from the speech which was read by the president tells how the organization was WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 God is the source. He supplies you with manifold blessings, and He expects you to share what He so bountifully gives you with those in need. The command is: Help the weak. *** The other day a Christian woman of the race came to the nursery and kindly gave each little one in the yard penny. She said: "I like to help the children." We thanked her. She promised to return and give the office force a donation for the work. *** It is very interesting to see the children assemble around the table for their noonday meal. They raise their little hands, bow their heads and give thanks in unison. This is the work of our Christian matron. Daily and simply sowing God's truth in their minds will develop strong character. Is not such work worth while? The opportunity offered to the children at the nursery is available for fathers as well as mothers. Both the father and mother appreciate the work being done here. * * * Let me tell you about a young father with whom I conversed at the nursery last week. He served in the army across the sea during the late war. After coming home, being unable to secure a permanent position, he is forced to take jobs here and there. His wife has permanent work in a private family. Both have to leave home early in the morning. The baby is brought to the nursery. He said: "I am so glad we have such a place to which we can bring our baby, and I shall do all I can to induce others to come." Since his return from France he has a desire to obtain an education, and will attend the Garnet Night School. He confesses to be a Christian, and is determined to study, so as to be a more useful young man. This case alone ought to make the men and every one else who have donated to the maintenance of the Day Nursery thank God for using them as the medium to help this worthy cause. THE INTER-CHURCH RECITAL. The inter-church recital, given at Turner, Friday night, was a huge success from every angle. A large and appreciative audience, with tumultous applause greeted the many numbers which to them were pleasing. Aside from the other representative people who graced the recital with their presence was Miss Eva A. Chase, whom to mention is more than a presentation, even the most elaborate. We were also honored with the presence of Miss Rachel E. Bell, who came as Miss Chase's honored guest. Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D., pastor of Metropolitan, and Mr. Louis N. Brown came and paid their respects, but business called them away before the entire program was completed. It is next to impossible to give a review of the recital, for the very reason that some things defy description. The children of the Sunday school rendered their parts very well. Special mention must of necessity be made of Miss Lillian Patterson, who rendered Rev. Martins "The End of a Perfect Day," written to a classic blank verse by an author unknown. All the poems hereafter spoken of as "original," are the compositions of Rev. Martin. Solo, Miss Earline Winston, "In a Manger"; piano.solo, Miss Phillis E. Reynolds, "Night on the Waters"; aside from the other renditions the selection of Miss Phillis, was well executed in touch, tempo and technique. Master Granon Watkins (original) "Wanted—A Boy"; Master George Carter (original "All I Want"; Master Richard Hutchinson (original) "A Mouse." Miss Lutheretta Matin sang "The Slumberboat" with great feeling. Miss Vivian Reynolds sang "In the Gloaming," accompanied by her musically accomplished mother, Mrs. Maggie D. Reynolds. Miss Dorothy M. Page of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Sunday school, read (original) "Finished—Yet Just Begun." This poem was written for her graduation last spring. These words were spoken to Rev. Martin, when he graduated from the grammar school, Winchester, Va.—he wouldn't tell how many years past. Miss Gladys Gallaway, accompanied by her brother, Mr. Emanul Gallaway, sang a beautiful solo. These two young people are among the most highly respected of the younger set of Mount Pleasant. Everybody enjoyed the congregational singing and simply gave themselves to the spirit of the songs. Miss Ella Jones, one of the teachers of the Sunday school, presided at the organ while the school pianist, Miss Martin, played the piano, they both being tuned to equal pitch. The superintendent being absent, the entire program was conducted by Rev. Martin. Mr. Clifton C. Anderson and his wife, Mrs Hortense Ophelia Anderson, brought their infant son, Master Clifton C. Anderson, Jr., and the audience simply buzzed with excitement when the full-chested, well-developed father held the son up to view. He read two poems (original) dedicated to his son. The first one "Hitch Thy Chariot to a Star," being a historical inspiration to the rising Anderson. The second one "Deed He Is," being written in the dialect made famous by Paul Laurence Dunbar: Mrs. Virgin B. Rice of the Church of Our Redeemer, Lutheran, accompanied by the superintendent of the Sunday school, rendered "Be Still and Know." The reading of a poem (original) dedicated to Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D., LL. D., was well received. The title was "Like Jesus," and was read by Mrs. Annie Cook-Martin. Mrs. Martin has a soft voice and—well I guess her husband is pleased, so I'll "let it alone." Miss Edna Bowie of Ebenezer M. E. Church, rendered a well-balanced solo, "Holding My Hand." Miss Bowie was accompanied by Miss Hattie E. Perry, who needs no introduction to Washington. Miss Perry also accompanied Rev. Martin in a baritone solo, "A Dream of Paradise." For some time past Miss Perry has been the organist of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. Mrs. A. B. Buckner, who is one of the leading spirits of Metropolitan, read from Dunbar and delighted the audience. Not only is Mrs. Buckner a fine reader, but she is a volinist, pianist and songstress. Mr. Maurice W. Travers, accompanied by his sister, Mrs. Mae Scott, rendered a beautiful baritone solo. Mr. Travers is an active member of Plymouth Congregational Church, also the assistant supervisor, to Mr. Luther W. Stokes of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. Mrs. Scott also accompanied Mr. Forst Carl of the First Baptist Church, Georgetown, D. C. His selection was well rendered. She has a sweet, soothing voice and when she sings, "Somewhere a Voice is Calling," it makes one feel that she is singing to him individually. Mr. Travers and Mrs. Scott. are children of Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Travers of Allen A. M. E. Church, Garfield, D. C. Miss Mary, E. Johnson deserves a deal of credit for the pleasant and efficient manner in which she assisted some of the singers, being the accompanist of the day. Miss Johnson holds a position of honor and trust at the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, and could make a good and honest living were she not there. Thank you, Miss Johnson "Glorious Israel" (original) dedicated to "The Hebrew Race, the World Over," is a historica sketch, of the achievements of the Hebrews. It is like unto Rev. Martn's "The History of Ethiopia in Rhyme," now run- ning serially in The Bee, but not quite so elaborate. Mr. William E. Stevenson, president of the Arlington Literary Society, Arlington, Va., read the poem. He brought forth fervent applause, by his masterful manner in interpreting the author's meaning. Mr. Stevenson has the voice, pen and manner of a fighter. When some of the officials of the War Risk—now the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, demoted some of the colored people there Mr. Stevenson and Rev. Martin, were selected to draft a memorandum which was delivered personally to the director, Col. C. R. Forbes. The presentation of this memorandum followed by the men solidly backing Rev. Martin in writing to the President of the United States and to which the President responded the next day, has caused the men to take heart. The men respect Mr. Stevenson for his writing ability and his fearlessness in defending them. At the conclusion of the program Sister Rosa Scott was introduced. She gave us one of her characteristic talks. Sister Scott is always welcome to Turner. Rev. McEaddy, the pastor, made a hearty response to all that had gone before. Mrs. McEaddy hurried through a meeting at Baltimore to hasten to Turner to help with the recital. The McEaddys are indeed a blessing to Turner. With permission of the master of ceremonies, "Ye olde acribee" wishes to thank every one who in any wise helped to make the affair the splendid success that it was. Through him thanks are extended to The Bee, the teachers, scholars, the splendid talent, to the community in general which combined to make the affair the howling success which it was. "Ye Olde Scribee." PARENTS' LEAGUE TO SUP. PORT MR. WILKINSON. The Parents' League held its regular biweekly meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on last Monday night. A testimonial was presented Mrs. C M. Tanner by the citizens of Washington for meritorious service rendered as president of the league, by Mrs. P. Wilson. Among the speakers of the evening were Lawyer Fountain Peyton and Dr. Charles Marshall, former members of the board of education; Lawyer Charles Hill, George C. Smith and C. Vaughan Todd. The principal business transacted was the pledge of the league to support the administration of Garnet C. Wilkinson, superintendent in charge of colored schools. COLLEGE CLUBS TO HOLD JOINT MEETING. Gridiron and Diamond Rivals Will Have "Get-together" Meeting. The Talladega College Club of Washington, D. C., will hold a joint meeting with the Washington Branch of the Tuskegee Club at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. Thursday, evening, September 22, at 8 o'clock. For once the grizzled warriors of gridiron and diamond will not feel that the songs of the other schools means that he must make a long end run or a three base hit. Two of the leading members of the Howard University faculty are members of the respective clubs, Dean D. Butler Pratt, of the school of religion being a wearer of the Crimson and Blue of Talladega, while Dr. Emmet J. Scott is an ardent Tuskegeeite. These two representatives will be asked to make talks at this meeting. This will be the first of a series of joint meetings that the Talladega Club has in contemplation, a joint debate with one of the other clubs being planned for the winter meeting. All members of both the clubs are being urged to attend the meeting this week. LETTER TO COMMISSIONER Washington, D. C. September 15, 1921. Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph. Commissioner of the District I hope that I will not appear presumptuous by submitting to you a suggestion which I feel will appeal to your sense of justice and advisability. The colored people of the District have confidence that you are their friend and that you wish them to know of your concern for their best interest. In that belief I am taking the liberty in their behalf and at the instance of the Blaine Invincible Club, which, as you are aware, is a conspicuously representative colored organization, to suggest that a representative colored man of the District be appointed on the Fire Prevention Committee. Your favorable action in that respect would not only be a fair recognition of the colored people's interest in the municipal welfare, but of the civic enterprise of the club mentioned, which as prepared by its form of organization, to render efficient aid in giving effect to the excellent method you have adopted to lessen our risks from fire. Yours truly, Francis Wella, President. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. A pew rally was held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday, September 18, for the benefit of the Stoddard Baptist Home. Rev. W. D. Norman, D. D., LL. D., addressed the congregation on the theme: "Does the Handwriting on the Wall Bear Upon the Events of the Times." The text, upon which he based his remarks, was taken from the fifth chapter of Daniel. He drew a thrilling picture of the age and condition of the world under Nebuchadnezzar and compared it with the habits and customs of mankind in this age; stating sin caused the handwriting on the wall which no Chaldean couldn't interpret. Consequently, Daniel was called a man of God. So the people now, before permanent peace can prevail, must know and acknowledge God and the nations of the world must through Him be cleansed of sin. The officers of the association are: Mrs. Virginia Winslow, president; Mrs. Robey Marshall, vice president; Mrs. Katie C. Brent, secretary; Mrs. Einma Allen, assistant secretary; Mrs. Bertha Mitchell, treasurer. The amount collected is $230.81. Splendid work accomplished by these Christian women and their co-workers for the old people. MRS. KNOX LEAVES FOR HER HOME. Mrs. Clara Chase Knox, a former teacher of the public schools of this city, accompanied by her niece, Hattie Chase, left the city last week for her home in the West. At the station a host of friends had assembled to bring them choice viands and to bid them good-bye. Mrs. Knox had been summoned to Washington because of the illness and death of her mother, who was a member of one of the oldest and best families of the District of Columbia. Her father was Mr. Thomas Chase, a noted musician. Mrs. Knox, while in the schools of District of Columbia, was one of our most efficient school teachers, and ranked high in club life here, as she has since making her her home in the far West. te ee a ES ea <0 StA SHORE AND = ?—020lUvLbKHLHX” Z”/-"' = pe : { conn) SS) =f ORT A PME Hscave Less o PS a -¥ : Fee aa oe sig ales BOE Ss) ° | Biss Sask pt ee PEA gm red OF : ae f LV ° aS Uy Kon Kh 5 ‘wD 3 “ 4 (G3 S 3 Set Le “4 : ‘BE ASS 2ar5 gene fy Q PY a Zs z. eo 8 Lec TB ol ASO Ce fh OFOCD a], | Neate} OT a eh SES Aa al ee SS é = , | | Sy yr HAY SS 2 ; j “4 y fr = s SS « BH aT bDierga)| 0". 4 Se Ss cr aoe wan Ze AE | om Vow wh, tat we 20 Tog etey ede Conca oe “es abit iste 7 TAR oD Tr HOME = oie Be Be SSeeR THAN voUR, ‘ 1 Swen aa - ‘Se oco Mins uns ercmne: | EO THE ve a ap OE TOOSAYNTE LEE OVAHCHOO BROWN.” By Aubrey Bowser. “De Lawd Suttny Looks: Aftah His (Copyright, 1921, Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.) é After a° stroll up Lenox -Avenue Toussaint’ L’Ouverture .Brown Te- turned to his room to discover. that he had one thousand, dollars in his pocket. .Where the money came from he did not know. Two evenings latei he was accosted on the street by 2 “greenhorn,” who asked Toussaint tc help him find‘a house he had visited the- previous’ night. Toussaint con- sented to help him. ~~ ’ : * a “That, house looks like it, but ain’t it,” said the country boy, ‘pointing to a red .brick house in ‘among the brown stone fronts. “If I was to see it I'd know it; it’s right around this way. It’s a private place where all the big guns go, from.whut I heerd ‘em say.” : : “Big: guns, huh,” said Toussaint, now fully ‘determined to go. | “Yessir, that’s why I thought you'd know, bein’ a wise Noo Yawker.. I thought I seen the housé a few min- utes ago, but I“wasn’t sure, and I didn’t want to: take @ chanst on ring- in’ the wrong bell.” “My boy.” said Toussaint, benignly, “de. fust thing you got ‘to learn in. dis burg is to tek a-chanst. Jes walk raight up an~say, ‘Ise Mistah Brown whut wuz hyuh las’ night and Ise 'spected inside.’” : “But I. git kinda scairt in Noo Yawk, They mighta shut the door in my face.” “Look hyuh, boy; come ‘long wid me!” “You'll back me’ up,’ Mistah Brown?” . , Toussaint waved his cane with: re- assuring elegance, and the oddly con- trasted pair proceeded down the Ave- nue, After winding in and out among the side. streets, the boy pointed at a house which-he thotight was the right one. It «was an ordinary - private house, dark except~for a very: dim light showing through the front door curtain. E " Toussaint went boldly up and rang the bell, with the timorous country* man looking over his shoulder, The door curtains were cautiously drawn an inch or two asidé, there was a rat- tle and:a click, and a bald, ‘big-shoul- dered man in a white jacket opened the door. Toussaint, with a wise nod walked in swinging his cane, with his protege at his heels. ~ “Mister,” said the country boy, “I was in her last night, you know.’ Are he gentlemen upstairs?” - The. door ténder acted as if .he had never seen the boy before, but after looking ‘the pair. over.led the way upstairs, first making sure that the door was locked. They went up: two flights of stairs to a large, well- furnished room extending the whole length of the house, with soft green carpets and’ pictures of . beautiful women clothed in little else than air. At several large tables under green- shaded lamps sat quiet, heavy-faced men with the serious air of statesmen composing a treaty. At their elbows stood great shining stacks of chips, red, white and ‘blue, which at every play altered their ‘respective heights. Save for an occasional low-spoken word, the clink of chips, and the whir. of riffled cards, the room was still, yet it was charged with the energy of conflicting minds. Tossaint, who for all his boasting, had never been in such a: place be- fore, was a little awed at first; more awed than his country friend, -who now lost his timidity and went! from table to table to look on. Finally he. sat down ‘at one, and, ‘pulling. a lone dill from his: pocket, set out to re- cover his mother’s money. He won. He ‘put back his winnings and won again, es ‘Toussaint followed the game, fas- cinated, and -by degrees the atmos- Phere. of the ‘place entered his blood. With a surge of emulation he asked himself why'he should not take his place among these grave, mighty men. If this young countryman could win so easily, why nof the infinitely wiser Toussaint L’Ouverture Brown? And them he heard himself nervous- ly asking for twenty dollars’ worth of chips. He sat in the game with his blood racing. In léss than no time, it, seemed to" him, he had woh one hundred dollars... He played and played, ‘with quickly inflated confi- dencé, These men ‘who had been as gods to him; now seemed his inferi- WW WHY...

Toussaint, intoxicated with the belief that: he could -not lose, had staked his whole pile on what seemed to him an especially good hand. But it just happened that the man ‘sitting opposite him had a still better hand, and in a moment Toussaint was look- ing blankly at the empty ‘place where his chips had’ been., : But the. fervor was on him, He began to cut into his roll of bills, two and three at a time, and at each turn of the cards he ‘lost more heavily. The hours went on unmarked. He had forgotten all about his country friend;-he saw nothing but the chance of some brilliant piece ‘of luck to turn ‘the’ tide. Even while losing he burned with the fever .of exultation. ‘The rubber on his roll. of bills grew looser and looser, and the time came when it was no longer needed to hold them: Still’ in his gambling trance, Toussaint did not realize how much he was losing. The windows began to turn gray with the dawn, but ‘he hardly: knew it. | Suddehily ‘he started up, as if wak- ing from a dream. Calling for fifty dollars worth of chips he had run his hand in his pocket and found nothing there. He sat stunned. * . “All out, Mr. Brown?” some one asked., . “Why—yas—yas. I- didn’t. think, T didn’t know it was all—all—Ise lost a thousarid—a: thousand——” “Too bad, too ‘bad—it’s all in- the game, you know.” . » Dizzily: Toussaint got up, his stif- fened legs rebelling. He, blankly took his hat and felt’ his way down- stairs, The cool, fresh air struck him, | and only made him feel sicker. Somehow he found his.way home and fell on his bed fully dressed. ~ Some. hours later a: forlorn little figure with gray face and bloodshot eyes appeared at the Mazarin Court and received:a sharp scolding for be- ing’ late on the job. -The scolding was scarcely heard, because its re- ceiver had been: numbered by ‘a. far greater blow. “Toussaint, went-to his elevator and mechanically carried his passengers up and down with hardly a word to’any of them.. His luck, he felt, had ieft him for ever and ever. For fiive. days and nights he al- ternately . cursed and cried like a baby. ‘It appeared thatthe Lord had’ forgotten His own, and the world seemed a gray place indeed, ‘Then, one day, as he was coming home from work, he recovered his curiosity to know what was going on in the world and bought a newspaper. It was the Harlem Diameter, a colored weekly. «Instantly a face seémed to leap at him from the front page. Where‘had he seen it ‘before, that lean, sharp- nosed, :face with a long black scar on the cheek?” Then he remembered; it was the very man who had stepped on: his feet. and jostled him in the crowd that night when he had stop- ped to listen to the-socialist orator. The vivid headlines made Toussaint’s heart leap. : “Conterfeiters Arrested.” Toussaint’s éye ran swiftly down to, the body of the article, which read thus: : “John Demare, atias Lean John, the counterfeiter whom the police have been after for somie time, was arrest- ed Friday’ night on Lenox Avenue: a large crowd was listening to-a street evangelist. when suddenly two strug: gling figures"emerged from the mass. The police pounced upon them, rec- ognizing one of them as Lean John, in spite of his disguise. The. other, who ‘clung fast to him; was Herry Taylor; a‘ barber, who said that Lean John had jostled him in the crowd and’.thrust his hand into his pocket. "The police separated. them. In Tay- lor's pocket they fotind a large roll of twenty dollar bills, which turned. out to be cdunterfeit. Taylor's eyes popped when he fotind, as he claimed, that Lean John. had .put the money into his pocket instead of taking it out., The police, however, locked both men up. % “The ‘police suspect that this af- fair, has some connection with the case of Slim Bardy, alias Benny Brown, who -was: arrested Monday ‘on the complaint of several people that he had. passed off fifty «dollar counterfeit bills. on them, ‘Brown or Bardy, is known'to wise New York ers asa gambler’s runner, whose practice it is to dress like a country- man’ and lure unsuspecting strang- ers to a gambling house with a’ tale ‘of’ woe.”* é Toussaint looked up from the news- Paper, a wiser and happiér’man. A load jumped off his-heart. Suppose he: had met the countryman that night, and had tried to spend ‘some of that money! He chuckled all ‘the way, to his room, sat on‘ the bed, and gave-himself up to grateful‘ medita- tion, the gist“of which soon emerged in, his favorite philosophy: “De Lawd sutt’ny looks aftah His own.” The End. +e : NEXT WEEK, “Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown's Ancestry.” Tell your friends’ about the Toosaynte Stories.

The Stag Club's base ball team downed the Hall's Hill team by the score of 1 to 0 in one of the most exciting games of the season. The game sparkled with sensational catches, of long drives and thrilling saops and throws of sharp grounders. The main features were the fielding of C. Turner, G. Turner, also the pitching of N. Dixon of the home team and the pitching of Muney of the Hall's Hall team. The King's Daughters of the M. E. Church were recently entertained at the home of Mrs. Caroline Granderson. Mr. Roland L. Washington of Boston, Mass, 'son of Mrs. Granderson, is spending his vacation with his mother and his presence and selections rendered on the Hawaiian guitar and auto harp added greatly to the evening's entertainment. * * * The recent entertainment given at the M. E. Church under the direction of Mrs. Edith Murray and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Robinson, was a very enjoyable affair. Owing to another special event in the town the audience was not large, 'but it is to be hoped that a concert of such high merit will be repeated. ** The ringing of the school bell Monday morning found quite a few of our young folks making their way to the capital city to enter the schools there. Among the new entries were Lucinda Thomas, Pearl Tinner and Bertha Lee. Lucinda Thomas and Pearl Tinner entered Junior High School, having completed the seventh grade in the public school here. The poetess has said that September has "summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer," and so it seemed last Sunday when the M. E. Church launched its annual rally: Friends and members of the church mingled together and enjoyed the sserved in abundance free-of charge to all who attended, giving a "homified" touch to the occasion. Somewhat confident of winning before the returns, the trustees were again doomed to disappointment, for Steward Joseph Pearson, the "undaunted and unconquerable" brought his side out "over the top" with a total of three hundred and forty-odd dollars, the trustees giving him a close call with over three hundred dollars. Rev. L. A. Carter of Washington, preached a masterful sermon at 3 o'clock, his choir, assisting, also some of his congregation. The total amount for the day reached six hundred and sixty-six dollars with a few pledges outstanding. A full report will be given later. Mrs. Lula Denny, who is spending the fall and winter season in Washington, is seen now and then in her home town. * * * Miss Emma Tinner of Philadelphia, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Mary Tinner. * * * Mr. W: D. Evans of 2515 Georgia Avenue, Washington, D. C., spent a part of his vacation with his nephew, Mr. Floyd Evans, at his residence on Shreves Street recently. He was very pleasantly impressed with Falls Church and her citizens. Miss Lucy F. Simms, a teacher of the Harrisonburg graded schools, and Miss Pheobe Harris left for their home Saturday last, after having spent a delightful fortnight with Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Evans of Falls Church, near Munson Hill nurseries. * * * The Mother's Progressive Council held their regular meeting at the Second Baptist Church Tuesday night of last week. On last Thursday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gray of 1205 4th Street Northwest was made a place of enjoyment to all the friends of their daughters, the Misses, Marjorie M. and Ursula Gray. The home was beautifully decorated, and the table was a wonderful scene. The guests were entertained with dancing and the telling of jokes, riddles and other games. These were carried on until about 10 o'clock, when a march was played and the honored guests were led to the dining room by Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Gray. Refreshments were served in the best of style, after which dancing was taken up again until 11:45, at which time each one departed for their home, expressing to the Misses Gray the pleasure they had during the evening. Among the guests were Misses Lillian Dennis, Süsie Fletcher, Alice Brackett, Cora Hanborqute, Clara Dickson and Evelyn Grayson; Messrs. Milton Gray, Marcellus Dalton, Charles Gant, Alfred Elsey and Clinton Luckett, and Mrs. Mary Nickens and many others. ANNIVERSARY. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.

Washington, W. H. Green, Louis A. Hilton, Thomas H. Wright, Emma D. Wormley and Green of New York, Misses Maud Worthy of Jersey City, Lyons of Washington, D. C. The program of the evening consisted of vocal selections by Mrs. Wright, followed by a dainty repast. The occasion was most enjoyable. MUSICAL NOTES.

PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA should have been granted. Without criticising the wisdom of the administration's course, the party will have to answer for the failure to honor the nation's heroes. The terrible blunder made in not making decided changes in the granting of patronage, is shown by the fact a group of clerks dared petition a protest against the appointment of a colored man as register of the Treasury. Today, the atmosphere of official Washington is stifled with the scent of Ku Klux hatred and terrorism. The fingers of those, who urged the tolerance of such conditions, will be the first to point in scorn and condemnation, when their support is sought in 1922. For the world loves a party that will keep its promise and will not shirk duties' call. While conditions are slightly improved, real prosperity can hardly be expected until after the disarmament conference has closed and industrial conditions which its deliberations will encourage, are in working order. So, regardless of the ultimate good results which Republican success last fall may obtain, the outlook for success in 1922 is dark. In fact, defeat for the party at present appears to be certain. In the July issue of The Lamp we published a series of "Editorial Comments on Modern Dancng and Dressing." all of which were taken from secular papers, save one letter from a Catholic lady, published in the Pittsburgh Observer. We are now submitting from the Los Angeles Daily Times a scathing editorial utterance, which, at time is almost brutal in its lashing scorn laid much like a Russian knout across the nude backs and bare legs of so-called society women. But the offense has become so outrageous that this laying on of the editorial lash is part of the drastic remedy which the seared and calloused consciences of the modern society woman seems to demand for her rude awakening from the Descensus Averno which she and her worldly companions are so recklessly traveling. We have no thought that the Catholic women who read The Lamp deserve any such editorial diatribe, but we hope it will serve to arouse within our Catholic readers a sense of how important it is for us to hearken to the call of our Holy Father at Rome, and join the world-wide movement of Catholic sentiment and protest against the criminal improprieties of dress that have gained the upper hand in every walk of life, and need a determined Counter Demonstation of modesty and simplicity in dress on the part of our Catholic women that will serve as the salt to preserve modern society from utter corruption. The people are all overwhelmed by the appalling crime wave that has beset the world—not only by murders, robberies and hold-ups, but by the vhastly increase in marital unfaithfulness which clogs the divorce courts and the attacks against women and girls which have become a daily department of the news. The incredible and loathsome conditions cannot be overstated. They are widespread, staggering in their viciousness. And we unhesitatingly declare that the preposterous vulgarity and criminal impropriety of that vastly increasing number of women who adopt these indecent modes for "party gowns" is, if not responsible for present conditions, at least a large and important factor. And it is deblorable that as the extremists jump from extreme to SIX—BEE extreme the presumably decent women follow. They are slower, to adopt the full measure of indecency, but each season finds them "conservatively" follow at a respectful distance, so that the modes for decent women today were the extremes of indecency a few short seasons back. (To Be Continued.) Well, well, well! It's the first sure sign of impending conflict between America and Japan: THE WHITE PRESS IS PRAISING THE LOYALTY OF THE COLORED AMERICAN. The Herald and Examiner says that the Colored American is all right, that his forefathers were brought here against their will, and that the presence of millions of Colored Americans must be accepted as a fact—but that no more Colored races are wanted here, and especially not the "yellow." That means that the black race, or at least that portion of it in the United States is no longer to be put down as the bottom race in American consciousness. The blacks are to be moved up a peg now, by the American Fiat; so that the geographies must no longer say "White, Yellow'and Black," but "White, Black and Yellow." This will not suit Mississippi, but it will suit best in a war between America and Japan. Look out, Black Brother, they are beginning to groom you for cannon fodder. There is one sure sign of war: when the white man's papers begin to stress the virtues, the rights, and the loyalty of the Colored population. The Colored American wants something besides praises for loyalty this trip. Of course, this is the Colored American's country. He has no other and won't have any other. The Colored American is more American than any other racial group. But he is also human, and he was human long before he was American—and human beings do not remain loyal to anything which is never loyal to them. If the Colored American is treated as an American citizen, he will, of course, defend this country against any foreigners, even against foreign blacks. But he has small hope of feeling that way about it so long as the savagery of Georgia and Arkansas endures. Just listen at the Herald and Examiner, how it sings: "The Negro belongs here—The Yellow man does not belong here— "The Negro is no menace. He is loyal. He is a willing soldier in war," etc., etc. This is true, but why on earth don't you impress it on Mississippi? If the Colored American is "not a menace," why should he be burned, lynched; Jim-crowed, segregated, hemmed in, bullied and held down? There's a loose nut somewhere; either the Colored American is a menace or he is not. If he is not, then there is neither righteousness nor prudence in his present treatment. If he is loyal then those who lynch, Jim-crow and bully him, are disloyal. We wish that the Colored American could be permitted to feel that he is simply an American and a man in this country. As it is, we are not just certain how much enthausiasm he should or could have in a war against "yellow men" because they are "colored." But if the call ever goes forth for volunteers to clean up the backward cilivization of Georgia and Mississippi, we can stake our reputation on the prediction that every Colored American from sixteen to sixty would jon the army within a week. FAILURE OF PARTY CHIEFS TO PLANT THEIR FLAG AFTER TAKING DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD, SHAKES THE CONFIDENCE OF THOSE HOLDING BALANCE Lack of Wisdom in Not Feeding the Multitude and Giving Temporary Financial Relief to the Commoners on Whose Shoulders All Taxes Eventually Fall. Comparison of Present and Former Administration's Policy and Party Success. Outlook for Severe Winter, With Untold Suffering, Makes Reconciliation With Past Mistakes of the Party Practically Impossible—People Resent Broken Promises. The first duty of a conquering army after taking an enemies' stronghold is to plant their flag and take the enemy prisoners. The same rule applies to any and all forms of warfare. In national politics, planting the flag takes the form of reassuring the populace of the sincerity and devotion of the successful party to the principles and promises made during the campaign and appointing men to offices of trust, who will carry out the policies of the new administration. In the practical fulfillment of party promises, it is not always possible to obtain quick results, but the people want their banner planted and the assurance that honest efforts have been started. Consequently, after a new administration is installed, it is necessary to make a positive and decided stand on the main issues. And, where victory is won by a coalition of many forces, the code of honor of the masses, on whose support such victory always depend, demands that each individual group receive immediate consideration sufficient to render, as it were, first aid remedy of the grievances from which relief was promised in case this particular party was placed in power, and whenever a party fails in this pledge to any faction, even to the colored man, that party is discredited by the remaining forces, even those who have been rewarded and invariably the public has registered its disapproval of such by the defeat of the party in the following congressional election. Take Cleveland. His free trade policy brought depression and he lost. McKinley promised the mills and factory would open, and the working man would have a full dinner pail. He retained his control of Congress. Roosevelt came out for the common people and bearded the lion (Wall Street) in his den; and the people stood by him. Taft was undecided and quiet and Congress left him. During Wilson's first administration, the European war saved him; but in his second term he, too, lost. Last fall the Republican party promised relief to all. They no doubt will eventually work up to it. But they failed to plant their flag by giving first aid relief to the masses. The dinner pails are empty and the factories and mills closed. The Legions who braved the dangers of German gas and shells hoped for relief by a bonus. The country could not afford it, yet in as much as the people have to shoulder all taxes, it seemed only fair if they chose it, their wish Use Quinade Quinade is a medicated oomade scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. 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. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co. 10 Greene street, New York City.

We had supposed that the decadence obvious in the sartorial modes for society-women reached their limit last year, and that a saner and more decent sense of propriety would evince itself in the revulsion of public taste. But the tendency to bizarre indecency has increased so that now we are offered in our public ballrooms the spectacle of criminal impropriety—of women's bare legs and painted knees, of naked backs and lewdly veiled bosoms, of transparent skirts and suggestive nudity, of decorated flesh and vulgar exposure generally—the sort of thing that has ever preceded the downfall of civilization. It has no relation whatever to the nudity of innocence, as is perfectly obvious with one glance at the type of dancing women that affects these disgusting extremes, for their whole deportment is so entirely in accord with their scant covering and nastily conceived exposures. They are brazenly inviting a certain kind of attention and they get only the sort of attention they invite. They are degrading all womanshood with their shamelessness at a time when the more worthy of their sex have striven to win and deserve that respect which should DEPARTMENTS ALREA LY ESTABLISHED TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 1920 For further information and Catalog, address THE LOGAN AND ROSE PLAY- GROUND EXHIBITS. May God strengthen and guide the teachers and bless our playground supervisor, Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, who is doing so much to raise the standard of play to a high degree. "Great deeds cannot die; they with the sun and moon renew their light," says the great poet, Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The Rose Park playground, Georgetown, D. C., had a beautiful exhibition of work done by the children last week. Mrs.Rhodes, the supervisor, visited both the Rose and the Logan exhibitions, where she expressed her entire satisfaction with the exhibit. Logan playground is one of those great lights. Without such a place in our community the children's play space would be exceedingly narrow. The Logan playground exhibition of the work which is daily taught the attendants, took place Wednesday, September 21st. There was a splendid display of articles made by the children. The Rose playground is under the supervision of Mrs. McKinney and Dr. E. W. Williams. Mrs. Dickerson, the director, and Miss Stokes, the assistant, have charge and the beautiful work exhibited proves the care, training, and earnest efforts put forth by these young women in behalf of the children in our community. The sewing, fancy work, and basketry showed that the children, coupled industry with play and that some day they will be skillful in handicraft.

Smith, a member of the Dunbar High School faculty, to the principalship, is in keeping with the policy of the school administration to select the best available timber in the service, when places like the present one are to be filled. Prof. Smith is an educator of the progressive type, an able administrator and fully conversant with the duties of the office: Mr. Smith first came in the public school system in 1905, when he was appointed teacher of science and mathematics in the old M Street High School. Prior to that he was instructor in the English department at Howard University from which he graduated in 1902 with the degree of B. S. As a teacher he has been considered successful and has gradually won professional distinction with the officials by close application to his work. Two of the other able candidates in the field for the position were Prof. Wetherlee of Dunbar and Prof. F. De Sales Smith, but the position called for one man instead of three.

Pretty girls, funny comedians and a host of other things conspire to make this show one of the best musical comedies with a Broadway reputation under lined for the Howard Theater next week, starting Monday night, September 26th. This show is drawn along the lines of a big musical review and during the entire time the scenes are being enacted not a moment is lost. It is full of pep from start to finish and the evolution of a well-trained chorus will speak well for the ability of Figank Montbomery, the producer. This widely known comedian is starred in the production and is doing just enough to show that he is above the average in intelligence for he has not usurped the best spots for himself, being content to give other talent a chance to show their accomplishment. Miss Florence McClain, whose vivaciousness is known throughout the country is seen as the dainty leading lady of the show, and believe, me, she looks like a million dollars. And she is some jazz stepper. Others in the cast are Mme. Margaret Scott, Bamboo McCarver, Johnnie Vigil, Al Wells, Leon Diggs, Toots Hoy, Royal Sutton, Gray and others. This show is presented in twelve scenes and the wardrobe is the most costly that could be found in New York. This show has played the largest cities in America, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, and is now playing the Howard Theater the week starting Monday night, September 26, after playing ten consecutive weeks in Chicago. MT. ZION'S RENOVATION WILL SOON BE COMPLETED. Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church for the past three months has been undergoing extensive renovation. A new heating plant has been installed, the church has been painted, both interior and exterior, an improved electric lighting system has been installed, the lecture room has been improved in its apportionments, an emergency system of gas light is provided, the main auditorium has been carpeted, a new hot-wtaer heating system has been installed in the parsonage and the parsonage has been repapered and painted throughout and improved gas fixtures installed. These improvements were done under the direction of a committee of seven, with the pastor, the Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, as chairman, Mr. William Watts; vice chairman, Mr. George T. Beason, secretary, at a cost of about $6,000. Two thousand was raised before the improvements were started and the balance was provided by a loan from the membership of the church, individuals lending fifty and a hundred dollars, the church paying them the six per cent interest, which they would have paid to a banking institution. All of the improvements will be completed by Sunday, October 2nd, when the congregation will enter the main auditorium with the observance of the Holy communion. A special program is being arranged for the month of October.
