The Washington Tribune "LINK" JOHNSON SAYS HE WILL BE CONFIRMED Emmett J. Scott Denies he was Part of the Clique that Blocked Georgian's Confirmation in U. S. Senate All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 17. "LINK" JOHNSON HE WILL Emmett J. Scott Denie Clique that Blocked mation in U The nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson by President Harding for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, has been held up because of charges filed against Johnson. Mr. Johnson had an attack of high blood pressure on August the 20th and has been confined to his bed since then. According to his physician, he is improving, but may not be able to be out for several days. Last week a local paper printed an article naming Emmett J. Scott as having filed charges against Johnson. Dr. Scott denies the charge, but a letter from Mr. Johnson says: "Yes, Tom Watson used Graves and that bunch to defeat me. Emmett Scott also joined the pack because I opposed Teddy in 1912 and cursed the young Teddy in 1920; but thanks be to God, as you know it, my life is an open book and I have wronged not one man. I will get a unanimous report from the sub-committee of the Senate." This committee will report when Congress re-convenes September 21. Dr. Scott gave the following statement for The Tribune. "This story offers me the opportunity to brand it as a brazen falsehood, the figment of a tortured imagination, a malicious fabrication without shadow or substance of fact in so far as reference to me is made. Neither directly or indirectly have I sought to delay Mr. Johnson's confirmation. On the contrary, at the direct request and behest of Mr. Johnson himself thru a mutual friend, the Hon. William L. Houston, of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, I have sought to aid his cause. Curiously enough (and yet perversely enough) the only time I have discussed with any United States Senator, the matter of Mr. Johnson's confirmation was at his own request, and in his interest, and that effort is now charged against me instead of being credited in my favor. Mr. Johnson has feared that certain interests (not counting the expected opposition of Southern Senators) would be exerted against his confirmation, and it was to lessen such hostility that led to my being requested to aid his cause." REAL ESTATE SWINDLER CAUGHT Charles Smathers was arrested Tuesday night by detectives Jones and Jackson on the charge of larceny after trust, and is alleged to have obtained more than $800 in real estate schemes. He claimed to represent a firm by the name of Logan and Co. Inc., who were supposed to have an office at 815 New York Avenue. Upon investigation no firm of that name was found at that address nor in the vicinity. Smathers' plan was to sell unsuspecting persons an interest in an apartment house agreeing to turn over to them an apartment ready for occupancy, within sixty to ninety days. He would take from $25 to $50 as a deposit and forget to turn over the apartment. He was under a $5,000 bond for similar offenses and there are six or seven charges against him now. He secured $600 from one person and $260 from another. SMALL BLAZE AT MURRAY BUILDING THIS WEEK Much excitement prevailed last Tuesday afternoon when the fire department was summoned to the Murray Bros. Building on U Street. A pile of trash in the basement became lighted in some way, but no damage was done because the basement is fire-proof. The building however, was filled full of smoke. ON SAYS BE CONFIRMED he was Part of the Georgian's Confir- J. S. Senate COTTRILL FOR BALTIMORE POST Mr. Charles A. Cottrill of Toledo Ohio, has been offered a job. He has been a long political friend of President Harding and was an unswerving supporter of Senator Harding at the National Convention at Chicago. Originally, Mr. Cottrill was slated for Register of the Treasury, but the "Lily whites" were successful in persuading the President not to appoint a colored man as Register. However, Mr. Cottrill continued to hang on in Washington and his "watchful waiting" has brought him a job. The deputy collectorship of the Internal Revenue, for Baltimore, with office here in Washington, at a salary of $2,500 per year has been offered Mr. Cottrill known as "the faithful." Mr. Cottrill is out of the city and could not be reached to ascertain whether or not he will accept the position. TALLEY HOLMES REGAINS TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP Before the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of tennis fans every assembled in Washington, Talley Holmes staged a great "comeback" and defeated Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago in the finals for the Men's Singles. Talley Holmes and Sylvester Smith retained their championship in the Men's Doubles by defeating Wilkinson and Freeman of Washington. Score 6-4, 8-6, 6-4. The Mixed Doubles were won by Harold Freeman and Miss Esther Hawkins of Washington, after a thrilling contest with James Bains and Mrs. Wade of New York. Score 6-3, 6-2. Miss Lucy Slowe retains her old time form of previous years and defeated Miss Isadore Channels of Chicago in a most thrilling encounter. Score 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. Ted Washington of Washington won the National Junior Championship. The National Tournament for 1922 was awarded to Philadelphia. The Turney brought quite a number of visitors to the Capital City, who were entertained in various ways and the six-day tourney was well attended and the games were well played, which created the interest and attraction for the large numbers that daily passed through the gates at the Suburban Gardens. NATIONAL BANK CHARTER GRANTED The first Negro bank to obtain a charter as a National bank, was chartered by the U. S. Treasury on Thursday, Sept. 1, 1921, as the First National Bank of Boley, Okla. It is capitalized for $25,000 with J. D. Nelson as president and F. B. Jones as cashier. The charter was secured by Attorney Elisha Scott, of Topeka, Kans. The Douglass Bank of Chicago was granted articles of incorporation for a national bank in May, 1921 but it was left for Boley, the colored town of Oklahoma, the largest in the United States, to secure the honor of obtaining the first charter for a colored national bank. Several Negro banks tried to become national during the time John Skelton Williams was controller, but he said: "You can not pass." History was made in colored commercial life Thursday. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 DR. CROSSLAND ACCEPTS A JIM CROW JOB IN VETERAN'S BUREAU Will be Special Expert and Will Investigate Cases of Colored Only ELATED OVER JOB Has Been Active in State and National Politics For Some time Director Forbes of the newly-created Veterans Bureau has appointed Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo. as a "special expert" in the bureau and his duty will be to look after the interest of colored soldiers and sailors, who are entitled to benefits under the government relief laws. All claims for compensation, war risk insurance, vocational and medical attention coming from colored soldiers and sailors will be referred to Dr. Crossland. His office will be in the War Risk Bureau, but his duties may keep him on the field more than in the office. He took the oath of office Saturday and left for his home in St. Joseph. To a representative of The Tribune he said: "My deep and abiding interest in the welfare of ex-service men is plainly witnessed by the fact that my only son, my only child, was their comrade in the recent World War and made the 'supreme sacrifice'—dying in the honored uniform of an American soldier. Ex-service men will find in me a true friend and an energetic advocate of all of their rights and interests. I accept the appointment because I feel that, in a sense, I am only taking up the work left unfinished by my son and am giving up a successful medical practice only because I feel that this new field of labor is one that will afford me an opportunity to render the greatest service to the 15,000,000 colored citizens of this country whose unquestioned valor and patriotism, proven in so many ways, merit for them tangible recognition and encouragement. "I shall give the position the very best that is in me." Dr. Crossland was a delegate-at-large from Missouri to the National Republican Convention last year in Chicago. He served as U. S. Minister and Consul General, under President Roosevelt, to the Liberian Republic. The enactment of the Sweet bill during this special session of Congress, creating the Veterans Bureau, places the direction of the work of the War Risk Bureau, the Federal Board of Vocational Education and rehabilitation of service and ex-service men and the regulation of the hospitalization of shell shocked, sick and wounded service men, under the direction of one bureau of which Col. Chas. R. Forbes is Director. The exact scope of the new veterans' bureau is outlined in the following official statement as to its duties: "Consolidates in a single veterans' bureau, responsible directly to the President, three great government bureaus, namely, bureau of war risk insurance, that part of the United States public health service dealing with the hospitalization and treatment of former service persons and the rehabilitation division of the Federal board for vocational education. "Delegates to fourteen regional offices authority to pass on compensation claims and to handle all of the functions heretofore performed by the central office, and further provides for the establishment of not more than 149 sub-offices. "Regardless of the extent of the claimant's disability, providing it is traceable to the military or naval (Continued on page 8) ENCAMPMENT OF PYTHIANS AT TOPEKA PROVES GREAT SUCCESS Governor Allen Welcomed Delegates With Spirit of Cordiality TOWN QUIT WORK Virginia Pythians' Charter Revoked. Officers are Elected Topeka, Kans.—Having conquered the East, the Knights of Pythias turned their attention to the West, and closed the twenty-first biennial convention of the order in Topeka with the West helplessly in their hands. To complete the story as one of union as well as action every officer was reelected by acclamation, from S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, down the line. Gov. Henry J. Allen, the great governor of Kansas, stayed with the Pythians all the way. He welcomed them to the state, spent the day in John E. Lewis camp on Governor's Day and occupied the center of the stage in the reviewing stand on Friday when the parade tore all records to pieces. "I have got better ground to stand on," said Governor Allen, to whom the pursued Negro never appealed for mercy in vain. In the legislative sessions of the great Negro fraternity the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was revoked by an almost unanimous vote. New York was chosen as the convention city for 1923, and the Supreme Chancellor was instructed to inquire into the returns of the grand domains so that hereafter the figures will stand up to each other face to face. Topeka, capital of Kansas, found itself overrun for the first time. The entire population took a holiday during the Pythian siege; white people got off to see something new to their gaze and colored people got off because of their habit to knock off in the season of Negro triumph. Thousands came from every direction. The presence of the Pythians, their conduct, their looks, their deportment in convention, made countless friends for the race in these parts, and backed the Ku Klux Klan to the wall. The supreme lodge elected the following officers: S. W. Green of New Orleans was re-elected supreme chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind., was re-elected vice-supreme chancellor and head of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Both are recognized leaders among the Negro in America. Green has been supreme chancellor for the past fourteen years, and his election was unanimous. The officers elected by the supreme lodge are: N. C. Nic, South Carolina, supreme prelate; Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky, supreme lecturer; E. E. Underwood, Kentucky, supreme keeper of records and seals; John H. Young, Arkansas, supreme master of exchequer; S. A. T. Watkins, Illinois, supreme attorney; Geo. Watty, Maryland, supreme master at-arms; U. G. Mason, M.D., Alabama, supreme medical registrar; R. R. Jackson, Chicago, Ill., major general; John A. Blume, North Carolina, supreme inner guard; Henry James, Florida, supreme outer guard; C. M. Wade, M.D., Arkansas; John W. Harris, Mississippi; C. R. Hutton, Georgia; B. G. Collier, Pennsylvania; J. H. Fordham, South Carolina; W. W. Andrews, Florida; Chas. V. Wickham, M.D., Oklahoma; E. D. Green, secretary, Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission. Every representative was present at 9:30 o'clock Thursday and the first MEDICAL FACULTY AT HOWARD DISSATISFIED Appointment of Dr. Jackson of Mercy Hospital May Cause Disruption of the Faculty MEDICAL FACULTY HOWARD Appointment of Dr. Ja pital May Cause the F N. M. A. HONORS DR. E. T. HARRIS Louisville, Ky. Sept. 2—Dr. E. F. Harris, of Washington was elected president of the Pharmaceutical Section of the National Medical Association here at the annual session which just closed. Dr. Harris appointed State Secretaries to line up all druggists to meet in Washington in 1922 when they expect to organize a National Druggists Association to be affiliated with the Medical Association. Washington was selected by the National Medical Asisocation as its meeting place for 1922. Dr. P. B. Hurst, of Howard University was a delegate from Washington at the association and opened the argument for Washington for 1922. He was followed by Dr. E. H. Harris and Washington won over St. Louis. PROMINENT N.C. BANKER HERE Mr. J. S. Hughson, secretary-treasurer of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company, of Winston-Salem, N. C., passed through the city Thursday, enroute to Harper's Ferry, W. Va., where he will spend two weeks. Mr. Hughson is a graduate of Howard University in the class of 1917. After teaching for a while, he was employed as Asst. Secy. at the Tidewater Bank and Trust Co. of Norfolk, Va. When the Citizens Bank and Trust Co. was organized last winter, Mr. Hughson was selected to hold the important post of Secretary-Treasurer. While in the city, he visited The Tribune Office and went through the plant. NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRIES REORGANIZED The Cavalry arm of the United States Army is being reorganized in keeping with orders issued August 20, 1921. These orders are the result of the plans for reducing the army to the 1920-1921 program which calls for 150,000 men. The plan of demobilization has been worked out and includes units of each of the regiments of Calvary from the First to the Seventeenth regiments. Of course that takes in the two colored regiments, the famous 9th and 10th. Six units of each of these regiments are to be demobilized. There are to be two Cavalry Divisions. The 1st is placed on the active list and the second the inactive list. The "Famous Tentn" is scheduled for the 1st division and the 9th for the 2nd division. The 10th is stationed at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. PROF. WILKINSON TAKES UP NEW DUTIES IN SCHOOLS Prof. Garnett C. Wilkinson succeeded Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce as assistant superintendent of the public schools of the District, Thursday September 1, when he transferred his office from the Dunbar High School, of which he was principal, to the office formerly occupied by Mr. Bruce in the Franklin School at 13th and K streets north-west. Mr. Wilkinson's successor as principal of Dunbar, will be named at the first meeting of the school board. Circulation Books Open To All ALTY AT D DISSATISFIED Jackson of Mercy Hos- e Disruption of faculty There has been much dissatisfaction in the Medical Faculty of Howard University over the appointment of Dr. A. B. Jackson, of the Mercy Hosp- ital of Philadelphia, as professor of Hygiene and Health, at a salary of $3,500 per year. Dr. B. P. Hurst has been teaching these subjects and made a special study of them under Prof. Rosenau at Harvard University. Many of the faculty feel that the position should have gone to a man that has specialized in those subjects since they are more technical than medical. It is claimed that Dr. Jackson has been a surgeon and therefore cannot be as efficient in the subject of Hygiene as one that has specialized in that line. Therefore, twenty-eight members of the faculty of the Medical School met and passed resolutions against the appointment of Dr. Jackson. The letter to the president of the school and a copy of the resolutions follow: "Dear Sir: At the request of Dean Balloch I am transmitting herewith a resolution passed unanimously at a meeting of the faculty of the medical school, twenty-eight members present and voting: "Whereas, The annual budget approved by the Board of Trustees of Howard University provided for the salary of Dr. A. B. Jackson as Professor of Hygiene and Public Health of the Howard University Medical School; and "Whereas, The appointment of Dr. Jackson was made without the nomination, consent or approval of the faculty of Howard University Medical School; and "Whereas, Such action is distinctly contrary to precedent, and is contrary to the spirit and letter of the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees, June 3, 1920, which provided that nominations of faculty members should be made by the medical faculty subject to action by the Board of Trustees; therefore be it "Resolved, That the said action is subversive to the best interests of the school and destructive of morale; and be it "Further resolved, That the faculties of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry do protest most earnestly against such action. "And be it provided further that a copy of this resolution be sent each member of the Board of Trustees and to the president of the University. Respectfully, COLLINS MARSHALL, Vice-Dean, Howard University Medical School, Washington, D. C." DUNBAR BOY INVENTS TIRE Norman Jackson, of 202 E street, southwest, has recently obtained a patent for a pneumatic automobile tire which can be punctured from six to ten times before it is necessary to change or repair the tire. In addition to the tire which Mr. Jackson has invented, he is working on other things that will prove equally as beneficial and profitable as his tire invention. He has been offered a good price for his tire rights. MILLER'S COMMUNITY BAND The following program was rendered by the Community Center Band, James E.

K. K. The papers throughout the country are alive to the fact that the Ku Klux Klan is spreading its propaganda thru the North and meeting with unexpected approval. There are seventeen papers before us with editorials against the Klan and its operations. "The Snake Shows its Head," says the Chicago Whip. "The Imperial Wizard attempts to vindicate the purpose of the organization in a full page advertisement in the Chicago Tribune. It is no doubt probable that the devil would attempt to vindicate himself if the Supreme Forces granted him voice. The Ku Klux cannot vindicate itself. The Klan is a cowardly, sneaking creature which strikes under the cover of night, oppresses the weak and is afraid to let the world see its face. No one would believe that the State of Lovejoy and Lincoln would tolerate it but it has and the evil eyes of this poisonous reptile are seen peering at us. If it attempts to strike the law abiding citizens of Chicago no mercy should be shown. It should be stamped to death and crushed into a pulp." The Cleveland Call in quoting from the Wizard says "A dispatch from Chicago quotes the Imperial Wizard as saying 'The fundamental object of the Klan is to promote the doctrine of supremacy of the white race and the preservation of the Anglo-Saxon civilization. We believe in the exclusion of the yellow race and the disfranchisement of the Negro.'" The uppermost question in the mind of the Negro is: "How does the Ku Klux Klan propose to disfranchise 15,000,000 loyal American citizens?" The Wilmington (Del.) Advocate says: "Ku Klux Klan Starts Reign of Terror." In commenting on the mob near Petersburg, Va., the Advocate says: "Now that colored Virginians have begun to assert themselves politically, a reign of terror is about to be inaugurated by the Ku Klux. Riot and bloodshed are being predicted freely. "With red hot pokers held near his body, threatening to be thrust thru him at any second, a confession of murder was extorted from a Negro by a mob of 200 stolidly savage white lawbreakers, and the Negro was lynched. "Post card pictures of the Negro strung to the tree are expected on sale at an early date. Negotiations are on foot with a New York company to have a camera man on the scene at once when it is expected the mob will go thru the rite to have a motion picture records for exposition in Klan ceremonies." "How long will the Ku Klux Klan remain here?" asks the Chicago Enterprise. It states: "It is doubtful if we can look upon the white citizens of this State as our friends any longer in view of the fact that this organization is going rampant all about us. It is not enough for our white brethren to tell us that they are our friends, that they have no prejudice against us and the like unless they possess enough courage and integrity to speak out openly when occasions like these arise. Where do these people stand on this Ku Klux Klan question?" This sound advice is given: "Now if Negroes in Chicago and other places are wise, they will prepare themselves for attacks that are due to come in the form of a riot, lynching or something equally as disastrous. We don't have to invite trouble it is already here, so let's be ready to meet it." "The Ku Klux Klan is in Pennsylvania" says the Public Journal of Philadelphia. "We must fight fire with fire. The Ku Klux Klan is here in our midst. It has been brought here by the red-handed emissaries of the Imperial Wizard with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., the bedrock soil of peonage, lynching, rapine and murder, and it has found ready embrace and asylum in the brains of those prejudice besotted migrants from the south. "These cowards masquerading under the proud banner of Americanism sent warnings to some of our most prominent business and professional men, located on Broad street, that unless they cleared out by a certain date their establishments would be dynamited. Let them come! We are prepared! "Here in Philadelphia, all the colored people wish for is that when these hooded hoodlums get ready to stage a show they will not forget to turn their parade into South street. In such a case we predict for them a most warm reception." The New York News says: "Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The foolish virgins had no oil in their lamps when the bridegroom came. Let the colored citizens of New York not sleep upon their rights now, let them rest neither night nor day because the Ku Klux Klan has come to New York City. The New York Herald published a full page advertisement of the Ku Klux Klan last Friday. . . While the advertisement was intended as a defense of the barbarous, blood-stained band of Southern murderers and outlaws, it was in fact propaganda intended to swell their ranks in this city. Its history for rape, for murder, for arson and sedition is too well known for its character to be questioned now. Its records in the South are too damning for it to seek to prove any sincerity of purpose or any desire to serve the public."

J., there will soon be no such organization in the country." And The Tribune would like to add that where the officers do not do this then let the outraged citizens take care of the situation. "Pittsburgh Needs no Ku Klux" says the Pittsburgh American. "Pittsburgh has courts, has grand juries, has a sheriff with any number of deputies, has a large police force, a Mayor and in short a lawfully constituted municipal government to deal with the problems of the city. These are the proper agencies to right the wrongs of which peace-loving citizens complain. They have sworn that they were capable of administering the constituted law, if now things have reached the stage where they are no longer able to function efficiently, let us first dispense with any form of lawful government altogether before handing the city over into the hands of radical and lawless groups." "The Anti-lynching pledge should be fulfilled" says the Savannah Tribune of Savannah, Ga. "The Republican National Platform of 1920 promised legislation for the suppression of the national crime of lynching. That promise should at an early date be fulfilled. The spirit of lawlessness is growing through the country and crimes of violence by bodies of men who presume to take the law into their own hands are multiplying. The organization of the Ku Klux Klan dedicated to the task of taking the enforcement of the law out of the hands of organized government and turning it over to irresponsible bands of regulators, operating under cover of darkness, is rapidly proceeding." "If the Illinois Legislature is willing to score the activities of this organization in other states," says the Chicago Whip, "it certainly will not allow it to function here. The Ku Klux Klan is offending the spirit of American laws itself and should be driven out of the country." TRENTON MAYOR TO SUPPRESS THE K. K. K. Trenton, N. J., Sept. 2—A letter was sent to a colored post of the American Legion, Mitchell Davis Post, 182, by the Mayor of Trenton, N. J., in which that official stated he would take all possible action to thwart the progress of the Ku Klux Klan. The letter reads as follows: "I wish to take this occasion of acknowledging the letter of August, 6th, sent me by the committee of the Mitchell Davis Post, No. 182, protesting against the organization of a branch of the Ku Klux Klan in this city. "In reply to your letter I wish to advise your committee that as long as I remain Mayor of the city of Trenton, I will take every possible action to prevent the usurpation of any citizen's rights and privileges, regardless of race, creed or color. Likewise, I shall use all my official power to thwart the progress of any organization designed to upset the friendly relations that exist in Trenton between our white and colored citizens. I am strongly against the promotion of any agency that may create interracial distrust or friction and your committee may rely upon my active support at all times to prevent the fomenting of such a condition in Trenton. "This is my position and if you care to give this letter to the public press you are at liberty to do so. Very truly yours, FREDERICK W. DONELLY, Mayor. Advertise in the Tribune ADDITIONAL NEWS OF THEATRES Continued from Page 4 BELOW THE DEADLINE "Below the Deadline," an Ascher Special, produced under the direction of J. P. McGowan, with J. B. Warner and Lillian Biron starring, and supported by Robert Anderson and Bert Sprotte, will be the stellar attraction at the Dunbar Wednesday and Thursday. "Below the Deadline" is a fast-moving melodrama of the underworld, the theme of which deals with the activities of a gang of thieves who make bold to rob the freight warehouses under the leadership of one "Buck Elliot," who in his everyday capacity as foreman on the docks gets inside information valuable to him and his gangsters in playing their nefarious game. "Buck Elliot's" sweet little wife, "Alice," had often suspected him of the double life he led, but not until her former sweetheart, "Detective Donovan," who had been assigned to run down the gang, confronted her with the evidence of her husband's guilt, did she believe him the criminal he was. There are many thrilling moments in this master melodrama, and the suspense is well maintained until the final fade-out. Taking all in all, "Below the Deadline" is by far the swiftest moving story that has ever been brought to any screen. PRIZE-WINNING BEAUTY STARS IN PHOTOPLAY Mary Philbin, a Chicago school girl, has accomplished what thousands of girls of her age dream of but consider as remote as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A year ago she was a demure student of the Hyde Park High School in Chicago. To-day she is a screen luminary at Universal City. Miss Philbin will be the featured player in "Danger Ahead!" the Universal photodrama which is coming to the Dunbar on Sunday. During the Elk's Convention of 1920 in Chicago, the B. P. O. E. desired a queen to reign over their ceremonies and sought the most beautiful girl in Chicago. Carl Laemmle, President of Universal, promised motion picture contracts to the two girls winning first place and honorable mention. Mary Philbin was dancing at the Ziegfield theatre, and one of her many admirers sent a photograph to the Elks' contest manager. Mary received honorable mention, and has been at Universal City undergoing intensive training during the past year. In "Danger Ahead!" Miss Philbin has a role suited to her personality. She is destined to become a favorite, as she possesses a wealth of good looks and a charming personality. She is eighteen, and displays remarkable dramatic ability for her youth. An excellent cast supports the star, including Minna Ferry Redman, George Bunny, George B. Williams, James Morrison, Jack Mower, Jane Starr, Emily Rait and Helen Caverly. Rollin Sturgeon, director of many screen successes, staged the production. The rugged, picturesque shore line of the New England coast furnishes an excellent setting for the filmed drama. The characters of the little village are exceptionally interesting. The pathos and humor of these "plain folks" are delightfully blended in "Danger Ahead!" Y.W.C.A.NOTES A group of Girl Reserves, Mrs. Mary F. Thompson leader, made a trip to Blue Plains on Tuesday of this week and carried cakes and sugar to the old folks out there, and rendered a program for them, which was appreciated by all present. The program given at the Sunday Vespers by Union Wesley last Sunday was interesting and well attended. Mr. Horeb Baptist Church will have the program next Sunday. The August Membership Social was, as usual, full of "Pep" and "stunts." Those who have been to any of these look forward to each last Thursday for the membership "get-together." There has been so great a demand for classes in china-painting that three classes have already been promised for fall work. Classes in dressmaking and millinery are forming and other classess will be provided for as rapidly as registered. READ THE TRIBUNE LONDON HAS DOG CEMETERY Founded Nearly Twenty Years Ago Ground Set Off Is Now Over crowded With "Graves." Comparatively few of London's visitors—or inhabitants either, for that matter—find their way to the dog's cemetery in Hyde park, says a correspondent. Situated in a corner of the park it is so shut in by trees and thick hedges that the ordinary passersby would hardly notice it, but it is well ago a visit. Nearly 20 years ago the favorite dog of an old gentleman living near the Victoria gate died. His master obtained permission to bury his canine friend in the garden belonging to the cottage occupied by the gatekeeper, and so the dogs' cemetery was started. Soon there were other applications from people who wanted to find a quiet resting-place for their pets, and now the cemetery is so crowded that more ground will have to be taken or the cemetery closed, and dogs' funerals things of the past. Not being reserved solely for dogs, cats and even one monkey are buried there. The cemetery is neatly and carefully kept. The graves are marked by miniature headstones, while on many, flowers are planted, and some are kept constantly bright with fresh wreaths. Some of the epitaphs are curious, while many are pathetic, and nearly all express a hope of meeting in some future world. HAD IDEAL DEMOCRATIC RULE In Early Years of the Republic, Roman Citizens in Mass Meeting Enacted Laws. The constitution of the Roman republic, especially during the early centuries of its existence, was democratic beyond any constitution known today. The citizens of Rome assembled in a mass meeting called the comitia, and enacted the laws, and the people each year elected two chief executive officers, who were called consuls. Another important office was that of the tribune, who was also elected for a year. He possessed the veto power, that is, he could veto or annul laws passed by the comitia, and was held to be the special and powerful guardian of popular rights and the welfare of the commonwealth. The number was increased, and the body of tribunes became one of the most powerful parts of the government. According to the modern use of the word, a tribune is a champion of the rights and liberties of the people. The word also had another meaning, being used as a name for a platform and especially the platform and pulpit-like structure in the French chamber of deputies from which a member addresses the assembly. Stones That Absorb Water Stone is by no means impervious to water. Some kinds, notably coarse sandstones, hold a large percentage. Even marbles absorb quantities. The absorptive capacity of limestones ranges from 7 per cent or more down to practically zero. Porous limestones to which the pore space ranges from 10 to 15 per cent, will absorb from 4 to 6 per cent of water, according to the United States geological survey, Department of the Interior, whereas micrystalline and crystalline limestones or marbles have lower percentages of pore space and absorption, such marbles as those from Vermont, Tennessee and Georgia being almost nonabsorbent. Pumice stone, which is usually lighter than water, owing to its great amount of pore space, will absorb large quantities of water; obsidian and volcanic glass which are of the same chemical composition as pumice stone, but several times heavier than water, will absorb none. Quartzite, granite and the numerous eruptive rocks are practically impervious to water. "Cockles of the Heart." Phystologists will tell one that there are no "cockles" in the heart, and yet people have asseverated for many years that certain incidents have "warmed the cockles of their hearts." Etymologists have been puzzled over the expression, and so far have sought in vain its derivation. The theory most favored lies in the general resemblance, more fancied perhaps than real, between the human heart and the cockleshell, the base of the heart being compared to the hinge of the bivalve. Whether by coincidence or otherwise, the scientific name for the cockleshell family is cardium, meaning the heart, from the Latin, although originating in the Greek language. The cockleshell long ago was the emblem of the pilgrim returning from the Holy land. Musical "Performances." The columnist of the London Daily Express adds a sequel to the story of the London violinist who, when the conductor announced at a Strauss rehearsal, "Tod und Verklärung" would be played next, observed: "Good heavens, I've just played that!" When Strauss came over to conduct his "Sinfonia Domestica"—or was it "Heldenleben?'—with the London Symphony orchestra he finished a rehearsal by thanking the orchestra for what, he said, was the finest interpretation of his work he had yet heard. Whereupon one of the horn players turned to a colleague and remarked casually: "Well, I've still got two pages to play, anyhow." IS OLD LONDON PLAYGROUND Hyde Park Has for Centurina Been the Scene of Amusements Dear to Englishmen. In Hyde park, London, nearly every game and sport known to the English has been practiced at one time or another. In 1550 the French ambassador hunted there with the king. In 1578 the Duke Casimir "killed a barren doe with his piece in Hyde park from among 300 other deer." In the reign of Charles I the park became celebrated for its foot and horse races round the ring, the "dusty mill-horse drive," as Lady Malapart calls it. "Shall we make a fling to London," wrote Richard Brome, "and see how the spring appears there in the spring gardens; and in Hyde park, to see the races, horse and foot; to hear the jockles crack?" Racing in the ring was one of the greatest attractions in the park, and some of the meetings were thought to be of great importance, as even among the state papers there is preserved the agreement for a race that took place there. Charles I mixed freely with his subjects on these occasions, but, looking on the royal park as his own possession, he once ordered the ejection of a Berkshire squire, whom he referred to as an "ugly rascal." The "ugly rascal" overheard the phrase. He went away quietly, but vowed vengeance, and gradually embittered the whole of his country against the king. He had, indeed, his revenge; for writ large on Charles Ts death warrant was the name of the "ugly rascal." MORE THAN MERELY ORATOR Will Crooks, English Labor Leader, a Man of Most Remarkable Personality. Although he had such a wonderful way with him when talking to an audience, the late Mr. Will Crooks was the despair of reporters. It was impossible to transfer his spoken words into cold print without losing the very thing that captivated his audience—the personality of the man. It was all personality with Mr. Crooks, and experienced reporters have been known to go to a meeting which Mr. Crooks kept in roars of laughter, and when they had written their report tear it up because it failed to convey any idea of what had happened. Mr. Crooks was good at telling a story, but even better at repartee. At a recruiting meeting during the war a man tried to interrupt him, and provoked the withering retort, "Yes, I know you. You are one of those who could settle the whole thing in a barber's shop on a Saturday afternoon." Mr. Crooks' favorite story concerned a woman who bought some flowers from a flower-girl at Plecadilly circus. She was so pleased with them that she promised to buy more on Wednesday, "when my daughter is coming out." "She shall have the best posy, ma'am, that I can make," was the reply. "What has she been in for?"—London Tit-Bits. Famines in History The families of the ancient world, usually confined to comparatively small countries, such as Egypt or Palestine, were largely due to the smallness of the area depended upon for food. Unfavorable conditions were general and failure in one part usually meant failure throughout the country. And only one or two crops were depended upon. Another cause of those ancient families and of some of the families in Europe during the Middle ages, was want of means of transportation. The land where famine prevailed might not be more distant than a hundred miles from a district where there was plenty, but it was impossible to carry some of the abundance of the latter to the stricken country, or carry it in sufficient quantities and with sufficient dispatch to succor the needy. One of the great assurances against want are our means of transportation—the steamship and the railway, which make available the whole world's supply of food. Why Hate Cause Baldness. It is necessary for the hair to have sufficient air and good circulation of the blood as it is for the body. Both must "breathe," and both must be supplied with blood to carry off impurities. In the case of hair, the blood is supplied through tiny veins situated around the roots and any tight band around the upper portion of the head will cause the hair to die and fall out. The construction of men's hats is such that they press rather tightly upon the forehead and the bulging portion of the head at the back, thus impending free circulation of the blood. The connection between a man's hat and his baldness is clear from the fact that there are but few men who are entirely bald. Most of them have a fringe around the ears and the lower portion of the back of the head, parts which are not covered by their hats. Prepared. Antoinette—Mrs. Black 'as called to see you, madam.

MARYLAND POPULATION SHOWS INCREASE MARYLAND POPULATION SHOWS INCREASE The latest census returns show there are 244,479 colored people living in the State of Maryland. This is a gain of 12,229 since 1910, or an increase of only 5.3 per cent. There are 17 colored people in each hundred of Maryland's population. The white population increased since 1910, 13.4 per cent or 142,598. About 25 per cent of them are foreign born. There are 64,434 persons 10 years old and over in the State who are unable to read or write. Of this number 35,404 are colored and 29,030 are white. For the total population the percentage of illiteracy fell from 7.2 per cent in 1910 to 5.6 for 1920. In case of the colored people the percentage of illiteracy decreased from 23.4 per cent in 1910 to 18.2 in 1920. A decrease of 5.2 per cent in the ten years. There is more illiteracy in the rural sections than there is in the cities. By counties the percentage ranges from 3.3 in Allegany up to 18.2 per cent in St. Mary's. School Attendance Increases Acording to the census, there are 196,735 children between 7 and 13 years of age in the State. Of them 182,147 or 92.6 pe reent were reported as attending school. The colored attendance increased from 76.4 per cent in 1910 to 84.0 per cent in 1920, while the whites increased from 88.8 to 94.5 per cent in the same period. The percentage of children attending school in the cities was considerably larger than that of the rural districts. "THE RIVER OF LIFE" By Thomas Campbell The more we live, more brief appear Our life's succeeding stages; A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages. The gladsome current of our youth Ere passion yet disorders, Steals lingering like a river smooth Along its grassy borders. But as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shaft fly thicker, Ye Stars, that measure life to man, Why seem your courses quicker? When joys have lost their bloom and breath And life itself is vapid, Why, as we reach the Falls of Death, Feel we its tide more rapid? It may be strange—yet who would change Time's course to slower speeding, When one by one our friends have gone And left our bosoms, bleeding? Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness; And those of youth, a seeming length, Proportion'd to their sweetness.

I NEVER HEARD ANY SINGING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE. I NEVER HEARD ANY SINGING WHAT THAT IN MY LIFE. Mr. Editor: Many thanks to you and your paper for making mention of service rendered our people by a member of the opposite race, Col. Robt. T. Kerlin, Prof. of English, Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. The new Negro, the Negro whose ideas are contrary to that of "The Uncle Tom" character, is sadly in need of leaders who possess backbone, integrity and who are not willing to lose sight of the remaining Negro for their personal advancement, promotion or financial betterment; such leaders will always receive the wholehearted support of the New Negro. The incident which caused Col. Kerlin to make his latest sacrifice, is known as "The Elaine Insurrection" of Oct. 1919, when great injustice was committed, not only to those who personally bore the pain and hardships, but to the Negro race throut the world. This so-called insurrection took place in Phillips County, Arkansas. To date, we have failed to learn of such sacrifices, such outspokenness from our leaders as that endured by Col. Kerlin. Col. Kerlin happens to be a member of the opposite race. Had such stand been taken by one of us, a greater amount of praise and respect would be his due. Col. Kerlin in his letter to Gov. Mc Rae of May 25, said in part: "In the execution of these men, a race is suffering crucifixion." We have been crucified in one way or another for years with only a very few of our real leaders finding language to protest. We do not try to assume the role of a critic, neither do we claim some of our men are not, doing much for us. We can truthfully say to those who claim to be the nearest to those whose power if used for our good, means to us, more opportunity and a greater standing as a race, have fallen short of filling the measure which is theirs. Can one imagine any man regardless of what race he is a member of, telling the black man, in effect, "you must go back to America (from France) and completely submit to the insults of your white brothers; you are on the playgrounds, receiving the respect, recognition as due from one human to another, but, when you reach American soil again you must be an animal?" God forbid! It would have been better, had such men never beheld the beautiful sun. Col. Kerlin refrained from asking or begging the Governor of Arkansas but in his lengthy letter, may I not presume, it was the ending of his letter, after his vocabulary was all but exhausted that he wrote: "I entreat you to take the matter into your private chamber and give it an hour's earnest consideration, as before the Eternal Judge. Have these men been dealt with according to Justice, according to the principles of civilized and humane governments?" Such words would never have been given to the cause of the Black man by a white had he not felt a deep sense of duty, a deep-rooted feeling that his fellow brother of Arkansas was failing in performing his full duty. For these words, for coming to the defense of a crucified race, Col. Kerlin was penalized and, as was told Adam in the Garden of Eden, "The day ye shall eat of this fruit you shall surely die." As far as Virginia Military Institute is concerned, Col. Kerlin is "dead," but all Negroes who have a drop of Negro pride and gratitude should fail not in respecting Col. Kerlin and such men, regardless of their race, who are willing to "die" for you. Does it not also appear that the colored professor, the preacher, the lawyer, the public men who are so near the "Big" white men, have been made to understand, that their professorship, their big job, their financial assistance is theirs, but the day they take an open stand in the defense of their race they "shall surely die," politically, financially? To such men, who accept considerations under such restrictions, it would be better had they too never been born. Each day they spend on earth, is a day spent detrimental to the salvation of the Nerro. inasmuch as the resolutions which were adopted by the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute has consented to carry Col. Kerlin's name on its roll until "Jan. 1, 1922 or to such time prior therto as he shall have accepted other employment," it is to be hoped Col. Kerlin will continue his activities in the interest of a friendless race. As one of the 15,000,000; Col. Kerlin, I thank you for the interest shown our people. May your reward be great, not only from the Black man but all men, and through your stand, may many more men of your race realize THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 TO FIGHT EXECUTION OF ARKANSAS FARMERS New York, Sept. 2—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that efforts would be made to obtain from the Supreme Court of the United States a writ of certiorari in behalf of six Arkansas Negro farmers condemned to die on September 23 for their connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. It is then contemplated applying to a federal court for a writ of habeas corpus. It was for appealing to the Governor of Arkansas in behalf of these men that Professor Robert T. Kerlin was handed a resolution of dismissal by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute. Six others of the farmers are to be tried at Marianna, Arkansas, in October. Receipt was announced of a telegram from the National Association's counsel in Little Rock which said in part: "Have great confidence of victory in final outcome if given proper assistance." POPULATION IN KENTUCKY DEGREASES The latest census returns show that there are 235,938 colored people in the State of Kentucky. This is a decrease of 25,718 since 1910 when there were 261,656. There are only ten colored people to each hundred of Kentucky's population. During this period, since 1910, the white population increased 7.5 per cent or 162,609. There are 155,014 persons 10 years of age and over in the State who are unable to read or write. Of this number 40,548 are colored and 115,466 are white, and 110,902 of these are natives whites of native parents. For the total population of the State, the percentage of illiteracy decreased from 12.1 per cent in 1910 to 8.4 in 1920. In case of the colored people their percentage decreased from 27.6 in 1910 to 21.0 per cent in 1920. There is more illiteracy in the rural sections than in the cities. It was 18.9 per cent in cities and 23.0 per cent in the rural districts. By counties the percentage ranges from 1.4 per cent in Campbell county to 21.4 per cent in Leslie County. According to the census, there are 387,388 children 7 to 13 years of age in the State. Of this number 342,974 or 88.5 per cent are reported as attending school. The colored attendance increased from 74.9 per cent to 85.9 in 1920, while the whites increased from 82.0 to 88.7 per cent in the same period. Louisville, the Largest City Louisville is the largest city with a total population of 234,891 of which 40,118 are colored. There are 7,946 people in Louisville who cannot read nor write. Of this number 5,245 are colored. the injustices that are day by day being heaped upon the already unbearable load of the Negro. To the race leaders (so-called)—the New Negro will never give you individual support until you decide you are willing to give the Negro the advantage of every means that falls to your lot to advance the cause. We, the New Negroes, long for men of the type of Honorable Monroe Trotter, of Boston; W. Ashyh Hawkins, Balto.; Chandler Owen of N. Y.; Wm. Pickens of N. Y.; and Bishop John Hurst of Balto. Mr. Editor—what a splendid means of encouragement it would be to Col. Kerlin and other men, who from time to time see fit to take a great stand for the Black man's cause, if every Negro church, society, and organization adopted resolutions thanking them for the stand taken. It may not mean any financial results to him, perhaps, but it will express in an humble way, the thanks of a gratified people. This would be a great encouragement for them to do more for us. (Signed) THADDEUS BANKS 1523 15th St. N. W. SELF HELP While visiting a rural community of colored pebole on the eastern shore of Maryland I found a fine church built of gray cement brick; a handsome building of cruciform design with attractive stained-glass windows, a church which would do credit to any community, colored or white, in town or country. An elderly colored woman living nearby kindly offered to take me into the church in order to show me the large pipe organ, the handsome mahogany church pews, and the nicely appointed Sunday-School room. My guide casually announced that she was in charge of one of the night groups of workers who made the cement bricks and later helped to erect the church. On further inquiry I learned that under the inspiration of the Kev. P. H. Woodley the pastor of the church, men, women and children in the community had divided themselves into night and day gangs to carry on the work of moulding the bricks and later to assist the brick-layers. The church has been built at a price far below the ordinary cost of such a building and these people had a church truly theirs, into every brick of which they had put something of themselves.—J. L. B. Buck in the Southern Workman. BENEFIT OF "LIGHT BATHS" Rheumatism and Neuritis Yield to Treatment in Which Purple Rays Play Big Part. The usefulness of "sun baths" for health has long been recognized. Unlimited sunshine has much to do with the beneficial effect of a vacation at the seashore. Nowadays this matter is better understood than it used to be, and It is known that the heat rays of the sun have nothing to do with the physical benefit obtained from such exposure. It is the chemical rays in the sunbeam—particularly the ultra-violet rays—that do the good work. Electric light is rich in these rays, and many cures of rheumatism and neuritis have been accomplished by exposing the affected part of the body to a powerful incandescent lamp, its rays concentrated by a hemispherical reflector. For curative purposes physicians have turned to useful account a sort of cabinet lined with such lamps, into which the patient, lying on a padded board, could be slid. The newest method employs a quartz lamp containing mercury vapor, through which the electric current is passed. Quartz has the advantage of being extraordinarily transparent to ultra-violet rays. Such a lamp, made in the shape of a tube of small diameter, can be introduced into the nasal passages for the treatment of catarrh or into the throat for the cure of infected tonsils, thus saving the patient an operation.

"When I marry, I won't insist on my husband wearing a wedding ring, as people might think he was henpecked," said a pretty miss to a friend recently. According to a jeweler, 80 out of 100 brides do insist, however, says the Milwaukee Journal. "During the month of May most of the newly engaged drop in for their rings. Occasionally the young man, after selecting a ring for the girl, tells the clerk that he doesn't want any for himself. "The girl will look at him quickly and say: 'Oh, yes, you do, John dear,' and he buys one. In the majority of cases a plain gold band is selected, but lately a few carved and engraved rings have been sold." This, of course, does not prove that men wear the rings. A certain young man, on leaving the house in the morning, places his ring in his vest pocket. When leaving the car, on returning home, it is again slipped on his finger. In this way both wife and hubby are perfectly satisfied. The Howard Oyster House The Howard Oyster House 1927 9th St., N. W.

RHODES Wellington A.Adams Director Columbia Conservatory of Music THE MUSICAL CHILD see the twinkle in her eye. And It is a big job to be a sensible par- ent. A good many people come to be parents, sooner or later; but how many apply the same careful con- sideration to this “job” that a good busines man does to the details of his business? Confining our remarks to the mat- ter of a child’s musical education, the wise parent will analyze, as far as possible, a child’s natural tendencies before choosing the instrument he or she is set to learn to play. Many a good violinist has been spoiled to make a poor pianist, and vice versa. The wise parent will use great dis- crimination in choosing a teacher for his child. Too often this is left to the advice of garrulous friends and the result is that the services of some pushing incompetent are secured, rather than of a real educator. You cannot begin too soon to plant the love of music in the heart of the child. When Oliver Wendell Holmes was asked when the education of the child should begin, he said: “100 years before the child is born.” Flood your daughter’s life with music. You want her to have rhythm in her walk, and grace in every gesture. You want to hear the music in her laughter and Pullman Porter Tips Miss Lena Edwards, daughter of Dr. Thos.

TULSA WHITES ALARMED (By the Associated Negro Press) Tulsa, Okla.—Propaganda intend- e dto embarrass certain member: of the relief commitee, who have taken an active stand against the attitude of the city of Tulsa and the white real estate board, in the matter of the re- tention of the Negroes’ property in the district where their property has been destroyed, is being scattered all over the country. Surprise has been exhibited by the white citizens of the community and city to find that cer- tain members of the race are finding money available in other places than the city of Tulsa to reconstruct their homes and rehabilitate themselves, Quite recently a white lady rode down into. Greenwood in her car and asked one of the prominent black men there who it was who was furnishing funds with which to rebuild. “There are twelve millions of Negroes in the United States,” answered this wary gentleman, “and we are collecting fifty cents apiece from them for re- building purposes.” In other words, the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to withhold financial assistance from those who desire to rebuild on their holdings, it is said, and they are attempting to locate all agencies from which Ne- groes are likely to receive assistance, so everything indicates. The Negro who gave the answer above was more diplomatic than truthful. He never- theless carried his point of keeping certain interested folk in the dark. see the twinkle in her eye. And you want to be sure that there is melody in her soul. Make her familiar with the sympho- nies ‘of the great composers, and she will breathe the spirit of harmony. ‘Teach her to be friends with the minuets of Paderewski and the waltzes of Strauss, and let her keep in touch with the best of music. Her womanhood will unfold in its most attractive form. She will grow up as you would like to see her grow— inwardly and outwardly. The music will get into her soul. Her character will be moulded under its influence. She will attract the stranger who meets’ her, and be loved by those who know her. She will make a good wife ‘and a good mother, and she will ra- ‘diate sunshine. Give your daughter or son the ben- efits of music. Bring it into your home. It is not too late and it can never be too early. You and every member of your family need it. Let your child’s musical education begin at once. Do not waste further time. Put her in the gateway of happiness and let the sunshine of .di- vine harmony envelop her soul! It is the birthright of every child— (GUESTS AT WHITELAW Elwin Dollard, Coigie, Cuba. M.

Men not money, are the determining factors in commercial and industrial under- takings. | BUSINESS AND LIFE ‘he reat aim of all business should be SERVICE. Business, money, prof- ‘its are not ends in themselves, but are the means by which men live, Man ‘is on this earth to live, not merely to make a living. The man who de- votes all of his days and years to business and becomes so absorbed in it and so eager for larger gains that he has not time for the joys and du- ties of life, and no will for the re- sponsibilities of citizenship and par- enthood, may die worth millions of dollars and be rated a huge business success, but as a man he will be a rank failure. Business has given to modern civi- lization conveniences and luxuries un- known to the Greeks and Romans. It has made living easier and more com- fortable. But business men as a class have not always so ordered their lives as to win the unqualified respect and confidence of other class- es of society. The word “commer- cial” has been associated with many things that were tainted and it will not’ enjoy an unquestioned place in the ethical “blue book” until business men prove by their lives, their unsel- fish interest in social welfare, in edu- ‘cation, in the improvement of labor ‘conditions, in the abolition of pover- ty, and in the stability of law and ‘government with equal rights and impartial justice to all. John D. Rockefeller says: “The man who starts out with the idea of getting rich won't succeed: you have a large ambition. There is no mys- tery in business success. If you do each day's work successfully, stay faithfully within the natural opera- tions of commercial law, and keep your head clear, you will come out all right.” R. A. BROOKS, CANDY | “R, A. Brooks, Candy” is a new slogan in Washington. On the 2nd of August, R. A. Brooks opened his ‘candy kitchen at 2083 K St., N. W. Having had twenty-five years ex- perience in fine candy making, Mr. Brooks decided that he would launch out for himself and accordingly se- ‘cured the bulding at the above ad- ‘dress, and began making some of the best candy to be found in Washington. By making it the best Mr. Brooks has, within the short space of four weeks, built up a patronage that foretells a flattering success for this new en- terprise. The first floor is given over to the sales department, both wholesale and retail. Everything presents a ‘clean, sanitary appearance and the ‘fixtures and decorations are daintily arranged. On the second floor Mr. oe performs all the work incident ‘to producing “Brooks Old Log Cabin Sweets.” Here is his cooking room, \his cooling room, dipping room for |chocolates and his starch room for the |fine work in candy making. | Every house has a specialty; but all of Brooks’ productions are special- |ties. However, he is very proud of his “nut cake” and his “mint cara- mels.” Yes, real mint caramels, a product all his own. He said that he was making a specialty of his nut cake for the Labor Day trade. ‘The prices of “Old Cabin Sweets” jare reasonable and the quality is the |best obtainable. . His retail trade has |zrown so that it equals if not sum |passing the wholesale trade. Mr. |Brooks is quite optimistic and says [that he is sure of making his pro- |duct the leading “sweets” of the Dis- ltrict. J | MORSE’S PHARMACY Seventeen years ago Dr. J. W Morse began business here in Wash ‘ington..

Aug. 2.—The Brooks Bus Line, Inc., (of Virginia) has started running between Alexan- dria and Washington on regular schedule. ‘This line is owned and financed by Negro capital with Mr. Richard H.

It has to. - Its promising appearance is its sole virture. Looks alone will not sell goods today. Merchandise with a namie, _the name of its maker, has the call. Only the maker of worthy goods can long afford to advertise. At the High Court of Public Opin- ion any other sort is con- demned. | : a cag Advertiser of today must not only seek circulation, but must also seek Interested Readers — Readers who are not only interested inthe news columns but the advertising as well. Wire Merchants always seek good publications to tell the story of their wares; therefore resolve to use THE TRIBUNE, because of its large number of Interested Readers in the (By J. A. Jackson in “The Billboard) [ae | Probably the one thing that has menaced the success of Negro film | organizations to the greatest degree jbas been the insecure and uncertain |methods of financing production. The jlack of original invested capital by the organizers, and their absolute de- pendence upon outside capital thra \dubious stock flotations for operating |finances, has without doubt been the biggest factor in retarding the growth jof thé Negro film business. With a limited market, unorganized |method of distribution and uncertain |finaneial backing, the task that con- fronted the prospective Negro pro- ‘ducer was one that but few survived lafter their first attempt. | From the one-reel burlesque Negro| |comesies, produced as early as 1915, |to the present six and eight-reel fea- ture productions, the Negro producer: |has had to solve one difficult: problem after another. With an increased |market, due to the rapid building of |theatre accommodations for Negroes; [with better distribution facilities made | possible by a demand for the feature | productions at an increased rental that |would justify the expense of traveling |salesmen and branch agencies, several lof the better organized Negro film concerns have overcome all obstacles and today occupy a position that promises to give the Negro a repre- |sentation in the world’s fifth greatest industry. Altho the last to feel the effects of the general business depression of the country, the film industry at this time is undergoing a crisis that will prob- lably revolutionize the entire indus- |try. When 61 per cent of the pro- |duetion cost of any manufactured com- |modity is invested in labor alone, as it \is in the film industry, and 39 per eent lin the essentials of the commodity litself, there i¢ dug to be a change in |conditions. The equalization of ‘the labor cost in proportion to the com- |modity cost in the production of films jis a task that is now being accom- |plished thru the influence of financial supervision of film production by bank- ‘ing interests. | Bankers have at last begun to re- jalize that an industry which, with all |its waste and extravagance, ranks as |the nation’s fifth industry, is one that is worthy of their attention, when properly financed and managed. In California, with its 85 per cent of the film business of the country, repre- |senting an investment of $150,000,000 land an annual payroll of $30,000,000, ‘certain California bankers, financiers and business men have at last a- wakened to the necessity of stablizing this great, industry, and to that end Jhave just organized a $2,000,000 fi- naneing corporation. ‘This organiza- tion feels that “since the time has not |yet arrived for extensive appeal to funds, thru flotation of securities for moving pictures, the task can best be accomplished thru banks and trust ‘companies, aided by business men who can furnish junior financing.” | ‘The Negro film projects that are |sixty odd banking institutions thru- out the United States, A number of these institutions have conection with various colored theater projects, the success ‘of which is more or less influenced by the drawing power of the various film attractions that are shown in these theatres. The banks give financial support to these pro- jects, whose success would be assured if a steady supply of high-class Negro films were obtainable. " The Negro filmn projects that are meritorious deserve and should receive the financial support of the Negro banking institutions. With adequate financial backing the Negro film in- dustry would occupy a position that would win for it its proportionate share of the amusement revenue of the Southern States, amounting to ‘millions each year. TULSA PEOPLEWIN RIGHT TO REBUILD THEIR DESTROYED HOMES The new ordinance passed by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, following the recent riot, which extended the fire limits to restrict building in the devastated area so that colored peo- ple would have been unable to re- build their burned homes, has been declared void in court, according to a message received from S.

In addition to all of these national meetings there have been State annual meetings of various types and kinds. The Tribune takes the position that this annual meeting business has become a menace to the economic and social welfare of the race. The main feature of the majority of these annual meetings is the ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Politics, graft and chicanery run rampant in many instances and the persons or groups of persons that can assemble and juggle the voters the slickest get the offices. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being literally thrown to the winds in sending delegates to the various national and state meetings. Four delegates from this city to Denver spent $500 in railroad fares and board bills. Thousands of people will flock to Chicago and New Orleans this month to attend the National Baptist Conventions. $500,000 will be spent on these two meetings. What return is the race getting from this annual drain on its purse that is any way commensurate with this enormous outlay? More than $3,000,000 have been spent by our group this summer on "annual meetings" while the race suffers from economic weakness that is alarming. The colored people's condition in this country is dependent far more upon an organized economic program than upon these annual meetings of fraternal and social organizations. Let's be practical. These lodges will spend thousands of dollars in sending delegates to an annual meeting to elect some man as Grand-this and Grand-that, yet often fail to pay some poor member at home the small sum of $3.00 for a week's illness and hem and haw over paying $75.00 to a poor widow at the death of her husband who had been a member for 20 years, and then require from sixty to ninety days to settle the claim. Take the $3,000,000 spent this summer on these "annual" affairs and how far would that amount go in establishing a chain of stores; in building homes; in operating factories? This amount of money could be divided between six cities giving $500,000 to each of them. Allowing $20,000 for capital of one business house, this would give 25 new business establishments in each of these six cities; or 150 new places of business with $20,000 for each establishment. If the three million dollars were divided into twelve parts of $250,000; and that would give each of 12 cities 25 new places of business with a capital of $10,000. Twelve cities with twenty-five new business enterprises would give the race 300 new establishments in the United States with $10,000 capital. Which would help to solve our problems and bring impartial justice sooner; the establishing of 300 new business enterprises each year with a capital of $10,000 each, or the continuation of these "annual meetings" resulting in the squandering of these opportunities? PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT GREAT SUCCESS PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT GREAT SUCCESS (Continued from Page 1) thing in order was the report of E. D. Green of Chicago, secretary of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and the Temple Commissison, which is supported by the supreme lodge. Green has held some prominent positions in Illinois, and was at one time member of the general assembly from Chicago. He has perhaps handled more money belonging to the Negroes of this country than any other official. The report made showed that the collection during the past two years had been $95,594.57, and the expenditures had been $29,768.71. The department operates a bath and sanitarium in Hot Springs for the benefit of the members of the order and all other members of the Negro Race. It is the only bath opened to the Negroes in Hot Springs, and they are planning for the erection of a Pythian Temple in Chicago at a cost of $250,000. Supreme Court officials re-elected were: Mrs. M.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 3. 1921 NORFOLK DEFEATS GREE Greb put a light left to the head and Kid got close hit to the body. They stood toe to toe slugging—Greb fighting desperately making Norfolk give ground for the first time. Greb missed a left swing and the Kid out-fought him forcing him to the ropes in Norfolk's corner, landing a half dozen times with left and right to head and body. Norfolk's round but Greb is improving. They began slugging in the center of the ring but Greb found The Kid's punches too hard for him. Norfolk sent a hard left to the body making Greb miss with a right. Greb started another rally sending a left to the jaw which forced Norfolk back to the ropes where he received volleys of blows. Kid landed a hard right and left to the body but Greb forced him back with another strong attack. They came back to the middle of the ring where they slugged, Greb having the better of it.
