Addresses Teachers SUPT. WILKINSON TELLS TEACHERS LAW IS NEEDED TO FIX SALARIES. Claiming there is no law to regulate salaries paid public school teachers in Washington and that teachers appointed from the Normal must be assigned to the primary department, Supt. Wilkinson, addressing the first-grade teachers of the city Monday evening at the Junior Shaw High School, said the new school administration was working upon the assumption that one teacher was worth as much as another to a community and should do the same amount of teaching Business Men go to Church VOL.

WILKINSON TELLS THAT TO FIX S Claiming there is no law to m teachers in Washington and that mal must be assigned to the print addressing the first-grade teacher the Junior Shaw High School, s was working upon the assumption much as another to a community of teaching. He explained this was why the administration found it necessary to inaugurate the five-hour plan for everybody. He also emphasized that this would be included in the questions considered when the school authorities went before Congress soon after for a better standardized pay schedule. The speaker contended that the ironclad restriction, compelling appointment of teachers from the Normal to lower grades should be removed; so as to enable the appointing power to make assignments anywhere in the system. Teachers should be kept where best fitted, he argued, and not forced to upper grades by salary increase, if ally adapted to the primary depart- KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BRAVE THE STORM. In spite of the inclement weather Sunday night J. C. Ross Lodge, K. of P., Queen Victoria Court of Colanthe and Magnolia Drill Corps turned out in goodly numbers because they had promised Mt. Bethel Baptist Church and its splendid pastor, Rev. Catlett they were coming and like Pythias of old they kept their word. Mt. Bethel Baptist Church has recently built a handsome edifice on the old ground purchased nearly a quarter of a century ago. They have moved out of the old into the new. Rev. Catlett and his good flock desire great credit. They have given to the Nation's Capital one of the sweetest and handsomest little edifices within its borders, electric lights, steam heat, excellent choir, one of the best pastors of the denomination and a membership of brave, true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. J. C., Ross Lodge was celebrating its sixteenth anniversary, Queen Victoria Court its first anniversary and the two organizations had as their special guests Magnolin Drill Corps under Captain Victoria Stevenson. It was a beautiful sight as they filed into the church. The Drill Corps in their natty uniforms, and the Red Cross division, the court in court uniform and the men looking like the diplomatic corps led by Colonel Anthony Gains (an overseas officer) who is chancellor commander of the lodge and worthy counsellor of the court; an officer in the Grand Court and instructor of the drill corps. An excellent program was rendered. Past Chancellor Commander F. D. Lee was master of ceremonies. The history of the lodge was given by Col. A. Gaines, the court history by Mrs. Lillian Campbell, W. R. of Accounts. Both were masterpieces Business The Washington Bee ment. Equal salary basis for all would iron out this wrinkle, it is thought, and make the service more uniform. The uninterrupted silence throughout the room told that those present were giving the closest attention and were weighing with deep reflection everything the superintendent was saying. In conclusion, Prof. Wilkinson left with the teachers the idea that the administration was laboring for the highest interest of all, especially the child, and that the future would mean nothing if the present were neglected. As we put our hand to the play now and start at once, seemed to be the veiled message he intended to convey. and showed what a band of men and women can do when they have one common cause and work in harmony and love. Rev. Catlett gave one of his splendid sermons, which was inspiring and helpful to all. The choir rendered exceptionally good soul-stirring music. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, past supreme deputy counsellor of District of Columbia, past grand worthy counsellor, and a member of the Red Cross division of the Drill Corps, gave an excellent address: Queen Victoria Court presented Captain Victoria Stevenson, who organized this court December, 1920, with a handsome cameo brooch. Mrs. J. M. Layton presented the same. Capt. Stevenson responded in very feeling terms. Past Chancellor Samuel Smith, who organized J. C. Ross Lodge, gave a short talk which was much appreciated. He and Mrs. Layton organized Magnolia Court for which Magnolia Drill Corps is named. A splendid collection was lifted. He presented the pastor and choir with a neat sum and the remainder was turned over to Rev. Givens, a member of J. C. Ross Lodge, and also a member of Mt. Bethel and a captain of one of the clubs of that church. and Miss V. Givens, who is a member of Queen Victoria Court, a member of the church and also a captain toward the rally that this excellent church is now holding to completely wipe out the indebtedness.

Progressive Deanwood is a new column opened for the purpose of bringing before the public Deanwood and its progressive citizens. We propose to make this a live and newsy column. We feel our aim is accomplished because cooperation is given us by this progressive section of the district. All citizens are requested to bring their new items to the branch office of The Washington Bee at 1032 Whittingham Place, Deanwood. Advertisements, articles, and etc., in Deanwood will be handled by Mrs. Christina M. Briggs, correspohdent, and legal advertiser of The Bee in this section. Mr. William Patterson is ill in his home on Sheriff Road. Mr. Jimmie Watson, his assistant, is handling the business of the barber shop efficiently. Rev. U. Thomas Brodus of the Zion Baptist Church, heartily endorses this now co umn of The Bee. Because he is an old friend of the late editor, W. Calvin Chase. The Deanwood Gleen and Athletic Club is very much out of doors as the Deanwood center is not yet open. There are 125 faithful souls in this progressive group of young men and there is no factional party among them. This club alone carries five times the minimum required to open a rommunity center. Mr. Josephus T. Lee, president, and Mr. Robert Jackson, manager of athletics, are to be commended for their efficient administrative ability. Mrs. Carrie Knox community secretary of Burrville Center, invites the Deanwood activities to make temporary use of her center. Communion services were held at the First Baptist Church Sunday. This church is makin gwonderful progress. The improvements which have been installed this year amount to several thousand dollars, the church is completely out of debt. Rev. George W. Brent is the worthy pastor. The Community Girls are still intact. Hold the fort girls, the sun will shine again. Mr. W. Sylvester of 4421 Sheriff Road, has put in a new supply of Xmas toys and desirable gifts suitable for all persons. He is carrying a full supply of clothing, dry goods and notions. His prices conform with the up-town stores. This makes shopping very convenient for Deanwood citizens. Mr. Sylvester is one of the most progressive citizens in this neighborhood. He has purchased his store and the adjoining building. Mr. and Mrs. Butler received the surprise of their lives last week on the fortieth anniversary of their marriage. The choir of the First Baptist Church surprised them with a grand reception. While Mr. and Mrs. Butler were in city, these joymakers went to their home and decorated the house with the most beautiful flowers and spread a tanle worthy for a king. When the unsuspecting couple returned home they were over showered with blessings from these devoted Christion workers. Rev. George W. Brent, jovial as ever was the life of the party. Miss Maggie Page is the president of the choir and it is rated second to none in Deanwood. A unique musical program is being arranged for Xmas. Mr. and Mrs. Butler are the parents of the late Hattie Butler, organist of the First Baptist Church. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE LOYAL The deanwood Community Center executive committee, which was elected to office May 19, 1921, is composed of the leading citizens of Deanwood. Their names and offices are as follows: Mr. Anthony Jessup, president; Mr. J. T. Lee, vice president; Mr. A. E. Robinson, representative; Mr. James E. Edmonds, treasurer, Mrs. Mary Addison, assistant treasurer, Mrs. Robert Jackson, manager of athletics; Mrs. S. W. Holcombe, chaperon; Mr. William Rulback, chaplain; Mr. T. H. Bell, chairman of music. These executive officers are persons of discriminating judgment and have given their unanimous support to Mrs. Christina M. Briggs. They stand for right and justice and are not inundated by the storm which has just blown over, for they have weathered many storms and know the sound of the wind is greater than the storm. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The girls of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. are planning a Christmas tree on Saturday, December 24, and are very desirous of having their attention called to any deserving persons whom they should remember at Christmas time. *** The Girl Reserves gave a most unique circus in the gymnasium last Saturday. Some of the young men from the Y. M. C. A. kindly assisted at the circus by giving a wrestling match. The place was crowded with little ones, and the shrieks of laughter indicated that plenty of fun was going on. *** The Board of Directors of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. held their regular meeting on Monday night last, when Miss Thomasine Corrothers, their new Recording Secretary, met with them for the first time. Under the auspices of the Educational Committee, of which Mrs. R. P. Hamlin is chairman, a hippodrome is being held in the gymnasium December 12 to 16. Christmas articles of all descriptions will be on sale and everybody is urged to come and buy from us, avoiding the crowded stores. Myrtle A. Chiles, Chairman of Publicity. WILL DELIVER TALKS ON LIVES OF GREAT MEN. Mr. Louis Monroe, a clerk in the office of the secretary to the board of education, is planning a series of talks upon the lives of such great men as Charles Sumner, John Quincy Adams, Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Webster. Mr. Monroe is an authority on American biography and history and that coupled with his wonderful power of oratory means a treat, of exceptional literary merit to those who hear him. The Bee will endeavor to keep the public further informed. BABBLING TONGUE. By Christina Moody. Briggs. Babling tongue, babbling tongue, Many the hearts you have rung, As you wag out your lies— Little you worry who lives or dies. I have seen you jeer and laugh, Meanwhile crushing lives like chaff. Do you ever think of peace? Babbling tongue, I pray you cease! Many the lies you have told With your propaganda bold. What if suddenly God should call? Could you truly answer all? Save your breath, oh babbling tongue, You will need it e'er life's done. When death grips you in his hold, Pressing out your sinful soul. Babbling tongue! Oh! babbling tongue! Your solemn death song has been sung! Woe to thee, thy many lies Cannot scale the ethereal skies. Cringing there before God's throne Dreading wrath by right thine own. Then thy naked soul shall see. God is not pleased with thee. Moral—Mud slinging is not good for three— Your much soiled hands ne'er will be free— When thy babbling tongue shall cease, Then Deanwood will have some peace! Respectfully dedicated to the mudslingers of Deanwood. LETTER OF THANKS.

Owsley, di- rector of the legion’s national Amer- icanism commission, stated after a thorough preliminary survey. of’ the educational situation in the United States. “{¢ should be concéntrated upon the need of better buildings, ‘libraries, and equipment, . playgrounds, better school attendance, better paid teach- ers, longer school terms, better voca- tional education, better ‘understand- ing of the form and fundamental principles of our Government, and better and universal: se of the Eng- lish language. Special . emphasis’ should be placed on the singing of patriotic songs, salutes to the flag, | the flying of the flag from “every school house every school day the weather permits, and upon short, in-| teersting accounts oF essential facts in American history.” | ° Preach Americanism. = Among the topics selected by. vari-’ our communities for the observance i ‘of the week are: American Ideals and Americanism; National’ Contri- butions to Our: Imunigrant Citizens; Amstican Patriotism; Civil and Mili-" tary Heroes; School and Nation; Edu- | cation, the Greatest investment for Community, State and Nation; How Education May Be Promoted; The Community's Responsibility Toward the School, and Ways and Means for’ Promoting Better Education, Better Americanism. s Organizations co-operating with the legion in the ‘week's activities are-the Rotary, Kiwariis, Lions’ and Optimis- tic clubs, B.“O.

He ‘does not visit schools to learn what they are doing. He has a conception of school only as he knew it in his own school days. American ‘Education Week should give the taxpayers who furnish funds for the ‘public ‘schools «first-hand knowledge” of the service for which they pay. Education cannot afford to neglect this opportunity to advertise its aim and purpose.”. ve -Américan Education Week’ was in- dorsed unanimously at the recent na- tional convention “of the ‘legion in Kansas City, and the Americanisin commission has mapped out the.gen- eral: plan “to make the observances a real success in every patt of the coun- try.

The original police force of Wash- ington, a solitary venerable night watchman carrying a stout: hickory staff, a perforated tin lantern, and hurdy-gurdy, was ‘described by Col.

As was stated in the columns of The Bee of last week, the jurors in the land condemnation case relating to that part of The Barry Farm. Subdivision, west of Nichols Avenue, reported their findings in the Supreme Court of the District, presided over by Justice Hoehling, on Tuesday, November 22nd. The condemnation proceedings began on December 4 last, followed by several postponements. The taking of testimony ended on June 13. The finding of the jurors in the case are awaiting confirmation by Justice Hoehling. The government was represented by Assistant Corporation Counsel George P. Barse. Attorneys Hiwlett, Clarence W. Tignor, Bradley and others represented various owners of property. The condemnation proceedings were instituted in order that the government might acquire the various streets and roads, of which many were privately owned. The private ownership was a barrier to such needed improvements as water, sewerage and good roads. District Surveyor Melvin Hazen for many years has recommended condemnation proceedings for government ownership of these streets and roads. Former Engineer Commissioner of the District, Col. Charles W. Kutz, pleaded before Congress, and an item in the District appropriation bill became a law, thus paving the way for government ownership by way of condemnation through the courts of the roads of the suburb. Should the awards of the jurors be confirmed, by Justice Hoehling, the carrying out of the permanent highway plans for this section will be in order. The general width of all roads are to be fifty feet wide. Water and sewerage will follow. Good roads will be had, and in the line of these improvements some houses and fences will be moved back, and perhaps a few of the houses will be demolished altogether. For a number of years we have advocated modern improvements for this suburb, but could not obtain them on account of the privately owned roads, never having been dedicated to the District. Property owners in general are well aware of the fact, that in all public improvements a part of the cost is charged against every owner, and they are eager to secure and pay for such. Thus this most picturesque suburb, with its beautiful hills and valleys, is destined in the near future to have every facility of improvement such as are enjoyed by Chevy Chase, Cleveland Park Congress Heights and other suburban sites of Washington, D. C. The following realty changes were recorded the past week: Howard Road, square 5860, Fannie R. S. Shipley to John B. Craig; Stanton Road, Amelia Hedges, to Mary A. Harvey; Howard Road, square 5861, Constance R. McKenzie to Raymond W. McKenzie. *** Thanksgiving Day, on account of the heavy rains, was observed quietly.

Local Censor Board Holds Up Picture Featuring Champion on Moral Grounds—Josiah Diggs Amazed. Dunbar Theatre Manager Had Purchased Rights of "Black Thunderbolt." Another instance that serves as additional evidence of the inconsistency that is often to be found in the administration of some of our white people who have been set in places both races was witnessed this week. when the Maryland State Board of Moving Picture Censors held up "The Black Thunderbolt," a six-reel production in which Jack Johnson is the featured player, on the ground that Johnson is a former convict, and to allow him to appear in an heroic role on the screen would be detrimental to the morals of those who witnessed the picture. The proof of the inconsistency of this verdict is to be found in the fact that time and again there has been shown on the screen pictures in which Frank James, the notorious outlaw, was advertised to be featured in person, and also pictures which featured Al Jennings, another outlaw as a hero. And even if this were not so, where is the difference between showing a picture in which Johnson, who served a prison sentence is shown in a role that is practically that of a colored American servant, and the hundreds of crime pictures, that are allowed to be shown week after week, in which some underworld character either real or fictitious, is revealed as a hero for heroine? a hero for his life Mr. Josiah Diggs, owner of the Dunbar Theatre, brought the Mary- land rights of "The Black Thunderbolt," and he was greatly surprised when the board held the picture up. The latter found nothing in the picture itself that they could regard as objectionable, but it was the mere fact that Johnson appeared in it that caused them to take this course. We do not desire to impute motives to the Censor Board, but in view of the facts above noted and others too numerous to mention, it is our conviction that the objection is to be found somewhat deeper than the board's extreme interest in the moral welfare of the juvenile picture-goers of Jack Johnson's race in this city. The picture was made in Spain and the assisting cast is composed of Spanish players.

If the Deanwood Community is factioned so is Congress, the United States courts and even the government under which we live. Deanwood is a live village thickly populated by progressive citizens who stand for uplift. It has no factions or dissentions, among its active people. From February, 1920, to June, 1920, the center carried successfully the following activities: Community Chorus Orchestra, Athletics, Dramatics, Handicraft Club, Clef Club provided for Deanwood citizens and Parent-Teachers Association During these five months 1,877 persons attended the center. The annual report from June 30, 1920, to July 1, 1921, shows that the following activities were carried on: The Community Chorus, the Clef Club, the Sewing and Handicraft Club, the Junior Dramatic Club, the Deanwood Funmakers, the Deanwood Junior Athletic Club, the Community Language Club, the Senior* Deanwood Dramatic Club, the Community Band, the Deanwood Glee and Athletic Club, 125 young men strong and the Community Girls. The attendance was 5,456. The Citizens' Association and Parent-Teachers made use of the center throughout the year. The Bee is forced to ask—Can factions obtain these results? JAPAN'S.POSITION AT WASHINGTON. The world is war ridden. It is now looking to Washington for relief. The World War left the nations maimed and halted. Only as statesmen are able, to meet this need, are they realizing the hopes of the world? America's daring venture to call a Disarmament Conference gives expression to our national desire for peace. Peace will never come by a single bound; inch by inch will it bring its blessings to this world. Everyone has agreed that the first step for universal peace is a limitation of armament and arms. We can hardly expect more now and be practicable. The Conference has made a heartening beginning. The good faith of our own nation expressed itself in the proposition Secretary Hughes made to the Conference. The World War made it possible for the United States to become the chief naval power; but to do, our best to speed up the peace program of the world, our country is willing to play second fiddle. As a national sacrifice this is very commendable. We must not, however, expect Japan to swallow the hook, sinker and line of our proposition. Japan has her back against the wall, trying to stem the domination of the entire world by the white races. Do you know, that already nine-tenths of this world is [Picture of a man in a suit holding a book].

E. A. C. ruled by the white races? In their territory, they do not tolerate the presence of other races except as they are exploited. In the remaining one-tenth Japan's strong arm is determined to keep the white races out. To all purposes and intents, Japan has served notice, that in the Orient the Orientals can take care of themselves. This policy of Japan has aroused the ire of commercial promoters, who covet such concessions in Asia as will give them free hand and to develop its resources for the benefit of the white races and degredation of the dark races. As the white races respect no law but force, we can readily see that the five-three basis of building ships might not be to Japan's best advantage. As our world is now constituted, Japan well knows, that weakness is a nation's sin against the Holy Ghost. This is a world in which only the fit nation survives; nowhere in the world do you see peaceable yet weak nations living its life unmolested. China is a striking example of this. Japan knows that preparedness to take her own part in a world conflict, is her best guarantee to survive and make her own contribution in her own way to the world. These stubborn facts, revealing that brute law still controls nations, incline us to respect Marcus Garvey's advocacy of a black nation powerful enough to take its own part in every emergency. We must not look to the Japanese, we must look to ourselves to evolve those sinews of war that will compel respect. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. When my dear readers discover where I am, I know they will say, "I am truly glad that the Sage has gotten over the high school fever." Well, a fever it was, for I visited every high school and was highly entertained and enlightened by all After a brief period of rest, during which time when I met my friends, giving them high school for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I learned of some signal honors which had been received by the Misses West, daughters of Dr. Charles West, which were received as a reward for meritorious work done by them in northern colleges. Where am I now? I am standing on the terrace of Minor Normal School awaiting the morning call to devotional exercises. As I overlook the city from this elevated height, I can but retrospect. My mind travels in historic fashion to the beginning of this hall of fame—first to its origin as the Normal High School in the assembly hall of Sumner; next as a separate institution at Minor Building, on 17th Street; then connected with the practice schools at Sumner and Magruder Schools. Just as I turn to take another view of the present structure before me, I was rudely awakened from my reverie by the summons from within. As I entered I was warmly greeted by the principal, Prof. Eugene Clark, by which and his great personal magnitude I was made to feel completely among so many strangers. As I entered the assembly hall I was greatly impressed by the increased enrollment during the present school year to about 60 per cent. In answer to my query concerning it, the principal explained that it was due to the increased demand for professional training, and a result of the board's ruling, admitting married teachers into the Normal School. Scanning the sea of faces before me, I recognized ten of the married teachers in number. These earnest women had been bright students in their classes in former days, and had now returned to, complete their education. Among the group was one who was particularly bright in her school days, and was known then as an exceptional child. Her name was then Miss Willie Carson. I learned that Principal Clark, in conference with the rest of his faculty, had been in conference recently on the reorganization of the course of study. The following paragraph sets forth tersely the purpose and scope of the new organization. "This organization aims to bring into close cooperation all the forces of the normal school with the training school as a center of activities, thereby developing here an educational laboratory where these ideals and principles for which the school stands are embodied and vitalized. With this arrangement every element of instruction is directed to familiarizing the student with the great variety of activities, which constitute the work of the teacher; professional interest and ideals born from the experienced gained by coming in actual touch with living problems are aroused and the power to analyze and apply educational principles in school work is developed." After devotions, which were adifying in every particular, the classes went to pursue their different activities, and I shall aim to tell you, my readers, as near as possible of the splendid work being done there by the faculty. The morning devotional period has been socialized and vitalized this fall through the participation of the students in the conduct of this activity. Early in November Principal Clark assigned the teachers of the theory department with their respective sections to the devotional exercises for successive weeks. In view of the vitalizing and enriching power of the correlation of subjects the members of section "E presented a program for the week of October 31 which was of a geographical nature. Each morning delegates from the nations that had attended the conference were represented. There were delegates from China, Japan, France, Italy and England. Each acquainted the audience with the customs, contributions and problems of her native land. On the last morning all of the delegates assembled and a representative of America offered to each her advice concerning the solution of her problems. In return the various nations offered America a solution of her problem, which is termed "the race problem". The week opened with an oral presentation of the story of David, selected as a type story for grades three and four. It was followed on the second morning by "Sir Galahad." On the third morning of the exercises a dramatization in pantomime, "The Three Bears," was presented. This story, so widely known and ranking first among the children's stories in America, needed no oral presentation. No expense whatever was attached to this stage setting, the only cost being for the costumes, which were designed and made of brown cambric by the players themselves. The necessary chairs, bowls and tables were borrowed from the school. Beds of varying size were easily made by arranging boards across the chairs, while the idea of woods was carried out in a similar arrangement of the school rubber plants. The week closed with a presentation of Mother Goose rhymes and gingles. The conventional use of the curtain was dispensed with through the substitution of a unique arrangement of cardboard held in front of each participant and dropped as the particular character interpreted her gingle. The past week has been a swift survey of English literature, portrayed by section "C" of the junior class. The purpose of the exercise has been to familiarize the student with the masters of the English language and stimulate in them an increasing appreciation of English literature. Groups of students dressed to represent the five ages of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and Tennyson, have described the characteristics of the periods and significant events in the lives of the outstanding writers and have interpreted striking passages in their works. In the department of physical training each of the 196 girls in the normal school has made a chart similar to the one used by Dr. Emerson of Boston, except that there are enough weeks allowed for the school year. About fifteen minutes of the period are used in weighing each girl and in marking the chart, and another quarter of an hour at the end of the lesson is consumed in checking up the losses and gains during the week. Many interesting facts are brought to light. Numbers of the girls are now getting a quart of milk a day, others have begun to eat breakfast and still others have given up drinking tea and coffee. The interest in the nutrition side of the work is the outcome of a nutrition clinic conducted in the Miner Normal School by Mrs. Earnest Grant of the Tuberculosis Association. Of one thing I was glad, I did not have to leave the building for my lunch, but in true democratic fashion I lunched in the well equipped lunch room of the school.

The Washington Bee. In order to bring out the true condition of Deanwood I wish to make the following statement. The mudslingers of Deanwood have been busy for a long time trying to scandalize Mrs. Briggs, the Deanwood community secretary. They sought to bring their mean influence to bear over me but I refused to join these unscrupulous dirt diggers. More than that two Washington newspapers sent for me and requested me to sign statements which would have done great damage to Mrs. Briggs. These so-called men made themselves overzealous in trying to defame this worthy character. Did they think I was a cat's paw? Let Washington understand manhood is still alive. I visited Mrs. Gabralla Peham in the Community Center department and told her these malicious statements were false and without foundation. I told her if she made an unfavorable report I would be compelled to refute it. I also visited the Deanwood executive and told them in person these demoralizing statements which were being broadcasted throughout Deanwood were untrue, and if they understood to support these scandulous rumors I would stand against them. False rumors have circulated against me through Deanwood which I shall take immediate action against if it continues. THOMAS H. BELL.

The Amphions gave a song recital and reception at the Dunbar High School Auditorium on Thursday, December 1. The occasion was sponsored by the public schools, District of Columbia Community Center Department, and was under the auspices of the Dunbar Civic Center. This was the Amphions' thirtieth anniversary, having been organized in 1891 Prof. Lewis was the founder of the club, and has been its director since its incipiency. He has given to the country at large over 3Q0 Amphions, who have all made good. There are but two charter members now in the club, aside from the director. They are Messrs. J. H. Washington and Charles A. Champ. Every member of the Amphions is letter-perfect, and, not having to watch the score, they can and do give their strictest attention to the director, and one who has been a director or been under a good one, can see how they respond to the professor's every wish. There are 151 patrons, and one can note, among these names of some of the most musically inclined and accomplished intelligent and influential people of the city of our race. Why such an excellent audience? To greet the out-of-town star, and to congratulate the Amphions, on their having grown to full manhood as an organization. This organization is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States. Rahl Rahl Rahl The officers are as follows: President, J. H Washington; Vice President, J. G Chapman; Secretary, S.

William T. Neckner, J. H. Heywood and James F. Slaughter. The club presented as their soloist Miss Marion Anderson of Philadelphia. By their tumultous applause they showed their hearty welcome. And why should they not? Every member of the Amphions stands in the community for something high, noble and progressive, aside from having a trained voice. They are noble men of our race, and all of us felt a distinct interest and pride in them—knowing their worth. The writer had Mrs. Martin and Lutheretta with him so he could not tell her—ah—well she sang for an encore "Coming Through the Rye." I should like to have heard the singers as of days of yore like unto Jenny Lind, sin gthis same song and compare them with Miss Anderson. I would vote for the later. All who agree say "aye," the "ayes" have it. You are elected Miss Andersonl As well as the writer can remember this song it goes about as follows: Smash a bady's new umbrella— Shouldn't he complain?" Miss Anderson has sun gin the Philadelphia Choral Society. She was accompanied by Mr. William L. King of Philadelphia, member of the Church of the Crucifixion. The writer congratulates you, Mr. King, for the excellency of your execution of such intricate passages in the piano score, of the songs of Miss Anderson, for truly you are a genius. If the reader does not believe me, ask Miss Florence A.

Its the anticipation that arouses all that is child like within the the little souls, the thought Christmas is not far away. You cannot understand as they do, but you should. Not one, no not one, whose mind doesn't go back a few years perhaps, who doesn't quickly recall the pleasure and wholesale satisfaction that the Yuletide brought to them which children. It is doubtful whether that ardor has yet dampened. You must understand then just what it means and the spirit that fills you—the anticipation counting most. Miss Ethel Morgan, a student in one of the public schools, is sick at her residence, Glendale, D. C. Miss Morgan is under the care of a physician. It is understood that the work in the new Smothers School near Bennings, D. C., will not start at once as reported but will be delayed indefinitely. The school authorities claim those bidding on the contract were too high. The first snowfall last Sunday brought to Glendale the first touch of winter. While it brought joy to a great many, who sat back in well proportioned comfort and gazed out upon the great white mantle, it meant very little to those, who were pinched by hunger and chilly for need of raiment. The world looks on these two pictures and wonders why they are not better equalized. Mrs. William O.

Complaints pour in from citizens protesting against what is claimed, overcharges in certain tax bills sent from the District building, especially those relating to water rent. There is a law regulating such things, but often overlooked by those whose duty it is to be governed by it. It would be well before settling any account, payable to the government, to look up the rate of taxation, compare with the bill presented and see whether the amount assessed is correct. Do this in a courteous, yet businesslike manner and you will save many a penny in your pocket that otherwise goes to the District.

The first of the local recitals took place on Monday night at Asbury M. E. Church. The recital was given by Mrs. Theresa B. Dickson, organist of Asbury Church, assisted by Prof. William G. Braxton, organist of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, with Mr. Ferrol Gibbs, tenor. The recital was enjoyed by a good sized audience and the playing was of a high order. Miss Marion Anderson, Philadelphia's brilliant singer, was enthusiastically received by the music-loving public at the Amphion Glee Club Anniversary Musical given at the Dunbar School Auditorium last week. She has a wonderful voice, and had to respond to several encores. The Glee Club was fully up to its usual high standard. Prof. J. Henry Lewis is to be congratulated on the splendid program presented. We would like to ask the public school authorities who is responsible for depriving the assistant directress of music in the public schools of her office room, which was so conveniently located at the Miner Normal School. We understand that at this writing that the telephone has been disconnected. The piano is at one location and the furniture and library at another. Why not co-operate with the head of the music department. Any old room isn't suitable to serve this important branch of the school system. Where a room is desired or a change of location of such is desired by those higher up, we think due and official notice of such should be given those of our principals and directresses who maintain office rooms.

Washington, D.. C: (Protected by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.) Three colored students sat gaily talking in a dormitory at Harvard. It was 8 o'clock in the evening, the lights were out, and the room was dark except for the glow of the coal fire in the grate. The three boys were sophormores about twenty years old, and in face, voice, and manner they represented the best type of colored youth. "I can't understand," said one of the three, who looked more innocent than, the others, "how some men make fine records in preparatory school and then do so poorly at college. Now, what's behind Will Reese's failure? "A woman," said Joe Grimes. "Nonsense. How about Jim Blake's failure?" "A woman," said Tom Storeham. "Piffle! But Dave Hart and Nick Jones are barely keeping up with the class." "A woman again," said Joe Grimes. "Oh, talk sense, man. You've got woman on the brain." "Nay, nay, Virgin," said Joe. "And I'm not speaking of women in general. The same woman has ruined those four fellows." "One woman?" said the Virgin. "You're crazy. No woman can ruin four men. I'm only one man, and no woman alive could take me away from my work." "Not even Trixie Marley?" "Who's Trixie Marley?" asked the Virgin. "She's the girl who's put four good men, on the bum," laughed Joe. "You don't know her because you've kept away from women since you came to college. And it's, a good thing you have. If you'd meet Beatrix Marley you'd be just like the other fellows." "But, Joe, you're evidently survived her influence." "Yes; but only because I had been well stung long before I met her, and was therefore well seasoned. Beatrix likes 'em fresh and tender, like you." "Oh, I'm not so easyl" snapped the Virgin. "I've never met any Boston girls and I don't intend to; but I'll guarantee there's no woman in Boston or anywhere else who can make me forget that I'm here for study; not for foolishness." "You talk like a child, Virgin." said Joe. "Your only knowledge of women is that they wear dresses and long hair. Your heart's as fresh as a baby's. I'd hate to see you meet Beatrix Marley." "Oh, she can't be so awfully wicked," said the Virgin. "No," said Tom Storeham, "she's what the world calls good. But she's a combination of Venus and Cleopatra and some more. If she had the chance she'd take kings away from their thrones." "She won't take me away from my college work," said the Virgin. "Anyhow, I'll never meet her, for I don't go to any place in Boston where I'd meet a girl." "What's that noise?" said Joe Grimes, suddenly. As he spoke three was a great tumult and a sound of scuffling in the street. The three boys rushed to the window. "Gee, fellows, we've forgotten!" cried the Virgin. "It's bloody Monday night and here we sit talking about women instead of beating freshmen." The three boys hurried into sweaters and old clothes, and in five minutes they ran out of the dormitory and plunged into the annual class fight between the sophomores and the freshmen. It was a wild scene, with the students fighting, wrestling, and rolling in the mud, and the troleys trying to get through without running over them. The Virgin soon lost Tom and Joe in the whirl of the fight, which grew fiercer every minute. All at once he found himself, with two other sophomores, cut off from his class and surrounded by twenty or more freshmen. "Make it for the sidewalk!" gasped one of the sophomores, too tired to shout. They fought their way to the pavement, about fifty freshmen crowding upon them. "Leven this way!" shouted the Virgin. The sophomores heard him, and charged down upon the group of freshmen. For a few minutes the pavement was a whirlpool, with frightened passersby scattering for safety. Then the fight surged back to the street. The Virgin was wrestling with a big freshman who persisted in clinging to his back, when from the middle of the churning rose a piercing scream. He shook off the freshman and dived into the whirl. Just beside the curb, knocked about by fighters who seemed unaware of her, was a woman, vainly trying to make her way to the pavement. The Virgin made his way to her, taking several hard blows as he did so. He grasped her waist and held up his hand. She went limp on his arm. "Hey, there, you fool freshmen!" he cried. "Can't you see it's a woman?" He got her out of the crowd and carried her into the trolley transfer station. Not knowing just what to do with a fainted woman he called some women who had sought the station for safety. They took off her hat and the Virgin stood dumbstruck. The girl was colored. He stood staring at her dumbly, while a woman hurried for water. She was the color of an olive, with a rather aquiline nose, long, shining eyebrows, and bow-shaped lips. Even in a faint she was pretty, her cheeks were round, her hair sparkled in the light, and her figure had long, graceful lines. He could not take his eyes from her. Finally she stirred, and her eyes slowly opened. To the Virgin, it was like the slow rise of the sun as those large black eyes with their full luster, opened upon him. He felt a curious thrill up and down his arms and back. He moved still nearer. "All right now?" he asked breathlessly. "Yes," she said, with a smile that took him off his feet, and a rich, refined voice. "You were my rescuer." "How did you get caught in the mob?" "I was watching it all from the pavement when the crowd swept down upon us. It swept me back into the street. I'd have been badly hurt if it had not been for you." She looked at him penetratingly. He became suddenly conscious that he was covered with mud and blood. "I fear I'm a sad sight to be talking to a young lady." "Oh, no, you look just like a thousand Harvard boys tonight. You seem to have done your full share for the sophomores." "How did you know I was a soph?" "I heard you shout. 'Eleven this way!' just before I was engulfed by the crowd. 'And I'm sure I know your name—you are Christopher' Bowling." "Who told you that?" he asked, delighted. "No one. I know Joe Grimes, Tom Storeham, Will Reese and Nick Hartwell, all sophomores. There is only one colored sophomore who I didn't know, and I know his name, Christopher Bowling: When I saw you and heard your class yell, I knew you must be he." "Good!" said the Virgin, again hanging on the lutser of those eyes. "I'd like to see that you get home safely, if I didn't look like a muddy tramp." "You can change your clothes." "You mean you'll wait till I do?" "Of course, I will. Did you think I wished to be rid of my rescuer so soon? Besides, it won't hurt me to rest a little longer after that shaking-up." The Virgin rushed out of the station, skirted the still fighting mass, and made a bee-line for the dormitory. It did not occur to him that this was disloyalty to the peerless class of nineteen eleven, the like of which Harvard had never seen before, the class which now needed every man to help defeat the impudent class of nineteen twelve. For the thing that had taken hold of the Virgin was older than the class of nineteen eleven, older than Harvard, and as old as the world. He threw off his clothes, washed, dressed, and in exactly ten minutes was back at the trolley station, looking into the lady's eyes with bated breath. "Hope I'm a little more presentable now. You know, it's strange you know so much about me. I've never gone anywhere and never met a single lady here." "That is our loss; Friend Christopher," said the lady, "yet it is my individual gain, for I shall have the honor of being the first Boston lady to meet my rescuer, Mr. Christopher Bowling." "And I—well, I'm simply carried away with meeting you, Miss—Miss." "Marley," she said with a flashing smile. "Miss' Beatrixe Marley." (To be continued next week.)

Lynchburg, Va.—"When I was developing into womanhood I was troubled with constipation. Each month I suffered and would go into convulsions (possibly caused by congestion of all the organs). I suffered in that way for six or eight months and then my mother started to give me Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. It seemed like no time at all before I was relieved of all congestion and sick-headaches, which were so bad at times that I just thought I would die.

The distance is 98 miles along the Lincoln Highway and he covered it in 33 hours and 10 minutes. Considering that he walked considerable part of the distance in a downpour of rain, over bad and muddy roads he made very good time. He tried to get a large bunch of New Yorkers to make the trip but was forced to make it alone. He deserves great credit for the trip, especially facing so many hardships and being unable to get proper food and resting places along the road. Lordly Fighting Males of Berber Tribes Yoke Women to Plows With Cattle. EATING THEIR CONSOLATION Marriage Is Customary at 20, Bridegroom Paying for Bride and Receiving Dowry From Her: Melilla, Morroco, Dec. 1.—The customs of the two Berber tribes whose territory has just been occupied by Spanish troops as a result of their recent victories are very interesting. These tribes are known as the Beni-Bugahi and Beni-Bu-Ifur, including the settlements of Segangan and Zeulan, extending to Monte Arruit, Tistutin, Bâtel and Garet. According to the best information they number about 16,000, of whom about 5,000 are males of fighting age. In the last fifteen years their number has been reduced from about 40,000 of both sexes by intertribal fighting and migration because of bad harvests. The tribes are divided into nine factions, all of which quarrel frequently between themselves, a practice common to the Berber stock from which they descend. They became mixed with the Arab invaders in the seventh century. Live in Tents. They are nomads who settle temporarily in places where the pasturage is plentiful, for they possess large number of camels, sheep, and cattle: They live under large tents, which they pitch in circles, thus forming an aduar, or settlement. The tents are made of sheep's wool mixed with camel or goats' hair for the more wealthy among the tribesmen, while the poorer members of the tribes must content themselves with grass-fiber. The men are of changeful mood, at times seeking adventure in rapine and at others indulging in prolonged periods of raziness. Polygamy prevails among them in proportion to their means of providing sustenance for the women. These poor creatures in every part of Morocco lead the most miserable lives. They look after the cattle, grind the grain, make the bread, churn the butter, hew the wood, draw the water, which often has to be carried long distances, shear the sheep and goats, card and weave the wool and hair as well as the grass-fiber, do all the plowing and sowing, and generally are treated by their lordly husbands even worse than the animals to whom they are yoked for field work. Eat Four Meals Daily. Their only consolation is in eating. They consume four meals daily, at which they drink great quantities of weak tea, and before they retire for the night devour large quantities of alcuzcuz—balls composed of flour, water and honey. They are very careful with the cattle and never forget to put them to pasture facing away from the sun so that they will not lose their sight through the brightness. Among the chief festivities are those connected with births and the giving of names, which occurs eight days after birth, when the father sacrifices a sheep and, sprinkling the blood, pronounces the names to be given to the child in the name of Allah. At 20 years of age it is customary to marry. A young, man then announces to his father his desire to wed a certain young woman. The --- A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA father communicates with the father of the chosen bride and sends his brothers to sacrifice a sheep in front of his tent, at the same time appealing to the father to give his daughter in marriage to their nephew. Agree on Dowry. If the father consents, the price of the young woman and the dowry she is to bring with her is agreed upon. The day of the ceremony is settled, the bride knowing nothing about it. When the wedding day arrives the parents of the bridgegroom go in procession to the tent of the bride's father, to whom they bring half of the price to be paid for the bride, receiving in return therefor the half of the bride's dowry. The men fire three rifle shots and the women shout with joy. The couple, although the ceremony is yet incomplete, go to their future tent together. The real wedding ensues the following day, when the bride is taken in procession on the back of a camel, covered with silks, and followed by her body slave, if she is wealthy enough to possess one, to the tent of the bridgegroom, where she is welcomed by his parents and the remainder of the price and dowry changes hands. The wedding is completed to the accompaniment of much feasting. A bride who proves unfaithful may be sent back to her father's tent dressed in sackcloth. RECTOR BANS SHORT SKIRTS AT WEDDINGS.. Bars "Transparent" Dresses in Rules for Brides and Attendants. Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 6.—The Rev. Father W. C. Robertson, of Christ Episcopal Church, of this city; has issued rules defining length of skirts. The pastor hints that any one violating the rules will not be allowed to take part in a wedding ceremony. Following are the five regulations which will be sent to prospective brides and their maids: "First—No dress called technically an 'evening dress' will be allowed—that is, no extra lowness in the neck, but generally what women now wear upon the street—a modern 'V,' round or square neck, with a complete back and front. "Two—Skirts must not be higher than where the spring of the calf of the leg begins, and be wide enough to allow the genuflecting before the blessed sacrament, which is the custo of this church, without exposing the calf, much less the knee. "Three—Sleeves must not be shorter than the elbows.

Gerald Tyler, supervisor of music at Sumner High School, St. Louis, Mo., has been spoken of in this column as one of the race's most talented and virile music composers. He has rectry added to the distinction that is his and proved anew his claim to a high place among musicians without regard race or color. The citizens of Missouri celebrated the state's centennial by producing during the week of October 11th, an elaborate pageant and drama, "Missouri—One Hundred Years Aga"—and the tack of writing the musical prologue for this demonstration was entrusted to Mr. Tyler. In order that he might give of his best in the effort; leave of absence from school duties was granted him, and he was given access to the library at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio, where he worked in seclusion for ten days. The result was brought forth in twenty-five pages of manuscript, a composition for orchestra of sixty-five instruments, with vocal quartets and choruses. The Prologue written by Mr. Tyler has been declared to be "one of the greatest pieces of concerted music written in St. Louis in more than a decade." It is a striking fact that "the most important musical features in the celebration of the one hundredth ahniversary of a former slave state" should have been "composed by the son of a former slave." The "Glove-Democrat," the leading daily in St. Louis, had the following comment on Mr. Tyler's composition: Tyler's Stirring Music. "The Prologue of the play was read to the accompaniment of Gerald Tyler, supervisor of music in the Sumner High School, who wrote the music to the drama, which even in the sketchy piano outline, as presented by the composer, gives promise of being among the most sensational features of a work which needs only PUBLIC CENTER which stands as a monument to 20 years of fair, square dealing with all from the humblest to the greatest.

PORO CORNER interpretation by the big orchestra of sixty-five of the leading musicians of St. Louis, already in rehearsal, to make it one of the greatest pieces of concerted music written in St. Louis in more than a decade. "Tyler vically indicated the music of the quartets and the choruses, from which it appeared that these contributions, when they are sung with the massed effect which the St. Louis Pageant Choral Society is to produce during the week of October 11th at the Coliseum, will further enrich our local musical literature. "Tyler has caught the virile spirit of Stevens' properly grandiose poetry, the allegory and the symbolism of the prologue as these inhere in our primitive landscape, defined and hemmed in by two mighty rivers near whose confluence a mighty city was to arise and within those boundaries the first telling strokes for true democracy and the emancipation of the slave were to be wielded." JOHN PILCHARD, WHITE, ACCUSED OF MURDERING COL- OED EDUCATOR, UP Maryland Colored People Raising $10,000 to Erect Monument to Memory of Stephen H. Long, the Victim. Snow Hill, Md., November 25.—When John Pilchard, farmer, of Stockton, went on trial in Cambridge Monday morning for the killing of Stephen H. Long, a colored man, in Pocomoke City, late in August, he had added to his staff of lawyers former Governor Emerson Harrington, who lives in Cambridge. Pilchard's lawyers were Mr. Harrington; John W. Staton, of Snow Hill; Joshua W. Miles, of Princess Anne, and "Nat" Westcott of Accomac, Va. The State has made no changes in its counsel. The lawyers for the prosecution were William G. Kerbin, State's Attorney for Worcester County; Harry W. Nice and Eugene O'Dunne, of Baltimore, and Leonard S. Wailes, of Salisbury. It is understood that Pilchard will declare he killed the colored Superintendent of Schools for Worcester County in self defense and to prevent him from injuring his brother. William Pilchard, with whom the defense will claim Long, was grappled when John Pilchard entered the alleged fray. It is reported that Virginia Long, the eleven-year-old daughter of the dead man, who was walking with him on the street in Pocomoke, when William Pilchard is alleged to have hailed him and started the quarrel which resulted in the killing, will be the chief witness for the State. The State also has several other witnesses alleged to have been eye-witnesses of the killing. The trial of Pilchard was set for this county late in October, but was ST. LOUIS, MO. removed to Dorchester when Pilchard's lawyers declared they would be unable to get a fair trial for their client here because of the sentiment against the killing of a colored man so prominent and so highly respected in this county. As a mark of respect for the dead man, the colored people of Worcester County are now raising $7,000 to be added to an appropriation of $10,000 which they expect to receive next spring from the County Board of Education, for the erection of a Stephen H. Long Memorial High School for colored children in Pocomoke City. THE DENVER HUNS MAKE DEATH THREAT. As an aftermath of an attempted bombing of the home of Charles E. A. Starr, 2112 Gilpin Street, a colored employee of the city park department, a skull and cross-bones were posted mysteriously upon the front of the house while Starr and his family were indoors. This second mysterious visitation at the house caused the police department to send out a trio of patrolmen under Patrolman A. C. Lutter to to guard the place through remainder of the night. No clews were discovered regarding the posting of the "blackhand" notice. The bombing, which shattered windows throughout the neighborhood, but did not injure Starr or members of his family, was the second of this type on Starr's property, in five months. Both were believed to have resulted from racial feeling and aggravated by opposition to Starr's moving into the neighborhood. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH EDITOR BACKS DYER BILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the text of a letter sent by Robert B. Eleazer, editor of The Missionary Voice, official organ of the Board of Missions, M. E. Church South, in which Mr. Eleazer asks Representative Joseph W. Byrnes of South Carolina to support the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. The letter, copy of which was sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Mr. Eleazer, reads as follows: Washington, D. C. "My dear Mr. Byrnes: I write to express the hope that you will do what you can for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, which has been favorably reported by the Committee on Judiciary. I have not gone fully into the bill, but it appears to me to be quite reasonable and desirable. It will be opposed, no doubt, on the ground that it is an interference with the state police power, but in view of the fact PORO CORNER A SWANOLA and BLACK SWAN Records will bring joy on Xmas and every day throughout the New Year BLACK SWAN RECORDS SPECIAL CHRISTMAS RECORDS 2028 10. in. 85c O Come All Ye Faithful I Need Thee Ev- ery Hour! 2029 10 in. 85c Silent Night, Holy Night!

Sennosuke Yokota Startles. Delegation by Boldness of His Remarks. By Webster K. Nolan. Racial equality loomed as a dark cloud over the proceedings of the Armament Conference last night as the result of an address delivered here by Sennosuke Yokota, president of the Japanese Bureau of Legislation. Yokota's address startled delegation circles with its boldness for the subject of racial discrimination has not been broached up to this time, and is not included in the conference agenda as set forth by Secretary of State Hughes. The address was delivered at a farewell dinner prior to his immediate departure for Tokyo. Yokota is the active head of the powerful Sei-Yukai party in Japan. He was an appointee of Premier Hara. "The American territory is vast enough for every surplus population of the world and the countries that suffer in this way have been allowed to look to America as a land for the realization of aspiration by the seekers of new life and fortune," Yokota declared. Appreciating at the same time the generosity and the assimilating powers of the American people, I believe that American alone can solve this great problem of mankind," the speaker declared. Yokota expounded that it is the belief of the Japanese that it is the will of the Creator that America should be the melting pot of the universe and thus bring absolute harmony between all peoples. "Such a great mission," he said, "could be carried out only by those who perceive the will of Heaven and with minds broad as the ocean, rejoice with happiness of others. A nation whose abundance of wealth is all sufficient, being thus favored should realize its duty and responsibility." Urges Open Door. A new kind of "open door" was advocated by Yokota, through which America should permit the mingling of races and through which America should "lead us all in her big way, both spiritually and materially." This, he said, was the hope of Japan, and he expressed the belief that "if America and Japan combine their utmost effort to realize the same ideals on both sides of the Pacific, we shall have perfect peace between us, and the whole world would feel its blessings." "I wish to call your attention." Yokota declared with great emphasis, "to the fact that if the disarmament conference were not based on the ideal of ultimate total abolition of armaments, the noble endeavor of President Harding may fail to contribute substantially to the peace of humanity. "However, international intricacies may prevent this ideal of lasting peace from materializing at present, as theory and practice often contradict each other. There are other means of establishing the lasting peace of the world besides the disarmament proposition now under discussion and the American people alone could take the lead in this new path to the eternal welfare of mankind." There is no room in a broad view of life, the speaker said in substance, for such a thing as racial discrimination among the members of the same human family. One race alone, he declared, ought not to monopolize the blessings and benevolence of heaven. America, he avowed, has most of the blessings and benevolence of heaven. "I believe that every living creature on this earth has a right to exist and enjoy them," Yokota said. PAST MASTER CLUB MEETS. The Past Master Club of John F. Cook Lodge No. 10, F. A. A.

DUNBAR WINS FROM ARM-STRONG MANUAL. Dunbar High School won its annual football contest with Armstrong Manual Training School. The score was 6 to 0, which attests the evenness of the game. Late in the first half Charlie Drew of Dunbar picked a forward pass made by Armstrong out of the breezes and raced thirty yards for the only score of the game. The Trigg brothers, on opposing teams, played spectacular football, Kermit capitulating for many long gains through Dunbar's line, while Frank smeared many a play Tech planned should evade Dunbar's forwards. Honesty of Armstrong paired with Trigg in smashing the line and Branson did great work for Armstrong. Consistent good kicking gained ground for Dunbar. Maurice Johnson starred in this department. Bryson distinguished himself for his ability to get through and break up plays. HOLIDAY GOODS Make Your Friends a Present of a. BOX OF CIGARS 25 and 50 in a Box WALLACE 928 9th Street N. W.
