The Washington Tribune Pollyanna-Johnson Suit Nears Verdict COURT CONTINUES CASE FOR 10 MORE DAYS TO ALLOW MORE BRIEFS TO BE FILED All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 20. Pollva COURT CONTINUES 10 MORE DAY MORE BRI Club Admits Affair was Given for Miss Johnson Completely Reverse Stand Taken in their Sworn Affidavit The lawsuit of Miss Carrie Johnson against the fifteen members of the Pollyanna Social Club, for $973 claimed to be due her from the Fashion Show given at the Coliseum, February 25, 1921; came up for trial Friday of last week and continued over thru Saturday, resulting in the Court asking for briefs on points of jurisdiction and guardianship. The Attorneys for both sides were given ten days in which to file their briefs; therefore, it will be about thirty days before the case is finally settled. However, it is practically certain that the "Pollyannas" must turn this money over to a legal guardian for Miss Johnson, she being a minor. Since Miss Johnson is over 14 years of age she will probably be given the opportunity of selecting her own guardian, and in this event, it will hardly be the Pollyanna Social Club, they not being incorporated, therefore, not being able to serve as a legal guardian. The Pollyanna Social Club, composed of young ladies, attracted considerable attention last June when they refused to turn over to Miss Johnson, the riot victim, the money received from a benefit held for her last February. The case came up Friday, before Justice O'Toole, the woman Judge, recently appointed to the Municipal Bench. Attorney Benj. L. Gaskins, counsel for Miss Johnson, called Dr. Wm. H. Wilson as his first witness. Dr. Wilson testified that he is the husband of one of the members of the "Pollyannas" and they sent him to secure the permission of Miss Johnson for the "Pollyannas" to give a benefit for her and in her name. She referred him to her Attorney, Mr. Gaskins. After an hour and a half of discussion, they reached a conclusion to the effect that the "Pollyannas" could use Miss Johnson's name for a benefit for her, if they would turn over to Miss Johnson, all the money left after paying the necessary expenses. Mrs. Ruth Savoy, the Secretary of the club, testified that the "Pollyannas" were informed by Mrs. Sallie Clark, that if the Club would give a benefit for Miss Carrie Johnson that Dr. Charles Fisher would donate the Central Coliseum, which rents for $300 per night, free of charge. The Club discussed this proposition and decided to give a "Fashion Revue" on February 25, 1921, for the "legal, legitimate expenses" of Miss Johnson. When Mrs. Savoy was asked by the Club's white attorney, Henry E. Davis, "Did the 'Pollyannas' give a benefit for Carrie Johnson?" Mrs. Savoy replied "No." Later Judge O'Toole asked Mrs. Savoy, "What did you intend to do with the money raised at this Fashion Revue?" Mrs. Savoy replied: "We intended to give every cent to Miss Johnson." This was a direct contradiction to her previous testimony in answer to Davis' question. The sworn answer to the suit filed (Continued on page 8) --- nna-Jo CASE FOR YS TO ALLOW HEFS TO BE FILED Record of Pollyannas' White Attorney made .public Strenuously Opposed Admittance of Atty. Lewis to Bar Association This is a case between a club of young women and a young colored girl. People on every hand are asking why should the "Pollyannas" bring in a white man in view of the fact that a large number of the members of the "Pollyannas" are wives of physicians and other professional men who are almost absolutely depending on colored people for their practice. Could not Mr. Cobb, a Professor of Law at Howard University, handle the case? It provokes a big question when we think of it. Here was a case growing out of the race riot in July 1919. Miss Johnson was accused of shooting a white detective. She was tried and the case finally nolle prossed, setting her free. The "Pollyannas" gave a benefit "Fashion Revue" in her name and for her "material aid." After the revue the decision was reached by the Club that "they would use this money for Carrie Johnson's best interest, according to their best judgement." Not being able to collect the money in full which the public had contributed "for her material aid," Miss Johnson brought suit last June. The "Pollyannas" secured the services of Mr. James Cobb. For reasons unaccountable to the public, Henry E. Davis, a prejudiced white man, was called into the case at an alleged fancy fee of $500. This is the same Henry E. Davis who objected so strenuously to the application of the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, formerly Assistant U. S. Attorney General, for membership into the American Bar Association in 1912. In his association with Mr. Cobb, in the court Friday and Saturday, he seldom addressed his associate Attorney, as "Mr. Cobb," but as plain "Cobb." This same prejudice was shown in his interview concerning Mr. Lewis, in the Star of July 25, 1912. His statement in the Star is as follows: "It is an accepted fact that had his race been disclosed at the time his name was acted upon, Lewis would not have been admitted to the association, and it is due to him to say that he is not credited with any responsibility for the agitation which has ensued in the premises. I think the whole matter may be summed up thus: His admission—so far as the action taken in the beginning may be said to have constituted him a member of the association—was, at the best, a most unfortunate accident, and the efforts made since to force his membership upon the association have not been characterized by either tact or a proper appreciation of the very great majority of the members. "If, as reported, it is the intention to make his membership an issue at the coming meeting of the association at Milwaukee, the result, whatever it may be, can only be unfortunate in the extreme. A large body of American gentlemen engaged in the practice of law have been in the habit of meeting annually for many years under condi- (Continued on page 8) (continued on page 8) WE SAVE ENTER- TAINMENT FOR CARRIE JOHNSON WE WILL GIVE CARRIE JOHNSON THE MONEY BUT WE WANT TO BE TRUSTEES OF THE FUND I CAVE FREELY BEN AND I WANT TO SEE JUSTICE DONE GENERAL PUBLIC BEN GASKIN PR JOHNSON MISS CARRIE JOHNSON BANG!

PENN BIG APARTMENT HOUSE BOUGHT BY DR. PENN One of the largest real estate transactions that has been consummated here this summer, is that of the purchase of the "Berlin Apartments" number 7, Iowa Circle, between 13th and P Streets, northwest, for $40,000 by Dr. A. B. Penn, of Alexandria, Va. thru the office of Mortimer Harris, 615 F street, N. W. The Berlin Apartments is composed of 12 separate apartments with hard wood floors, electric lights, gas, hot water heat, tile baths, and all wood work is of hard wood making a beautiful interior finish. The Berlin was at one time the mansion of John T. Arms, a financier of this city. It extends thru to Kingman street, with a frontage of 54 feet on that street and 24 feet on Iowa Circle. Dr. Penn is one of the leading successful physicians of the State of Virginia and a progressive business man. Resigning a Government clerkship fourteen years ago, Dr. Penn opened his first office in Alexandria, taking one room in the little back building then occupied as a printing office by the Murray Brothers, who are now located on U street, this city. In this short space of time, Dr. Penn has built up a large paying practice, to the extent that not only does he own a beautiful home and office in Alexandria, but has large real estate holdings in Washington. He is one of the largest stock holders of the Standard Investment Company, which owns eight stores on 14th street, N. W. When asked about the deal of the Berlin, Dr. Penn said: "I had three objects in view when I made the purchase; first, to give my people high class apartments in which to live; second, to show that our men who are able to buy such property can trust our own young men in making the deal; and third, to make an investment that will be profitable." The outstanding feature of this purchase, is the fact that this is the first apartment to be purchased by colored people on any of the "circles" in Washington. Mr. Mortimer Harris by his business acumen in securing for his client this fine apartment house for colored people has again proven himself capa- (Continued on page 5) OVER 18,000 CHILDREN ENROLL IN SCHOOLS HERE The first day of the opening of the city schools enrolled 57,238 pupils in the various District Educational Institutions. Of this number 16,320 were enrolled in the colored schools of the District. All the buildings are crowded to, and even above, their capacity. This was an unprecedented number for the first day and the officials are at a loss to know if it means the earlier entrance of older pupils or the additional increase of new pupils. By Thursday morning over 18322 had been enrolled. The large enrollment at Miner Normal is attracting attention. Last year the first day numbered 133; at the close of school Monday 169 names had been enrolled and Thursday morning reported 365 which exceeds last year's peak enrollment. The peak enrollment—which means the highest enrollment for the session—is usually reached about November. At Dunbar High all records are broken. First day last year registered 1120. On Monday last, 1292 were enrolled, and Thursday morning reported 1401. The peak for last year was 1462 and the outlook is that the enrollment for this year at this nationally known high school will reach 1600. Armstrong enrolled 489 the first day last year; 731 names were enrolled Monday and the report from there Thursday morning gave 790 which passes the peak of last year, which was 753. Shaw Junior High had 215 for the first day last year and Monday recorded 319 which was increased to 359 by Thursday morning. Miss Slowe the principal, said that the two rooms now occupied with manual training were t obe ready for classrooms soon as the manual training department had been assembled at Phelps school on Vermont Avenue near U Street. This would give her school a capacity for 400 pupils, which will soon be reached at the present rate of enrollment. Following are the enrollment figures for the elementary schools by divisions. The first figures are for 1920 and the last are for 1921. Each division except the 2th shows an increased enrollment over the first day last year. (Continued on page 5) PARENTS LEAGUE IS TO CARE FOR NEEDY CHILDREN PARENTS LEAGUE IS TO CARE FOR NEEDY CHILDREN At the meeting of the Parents League Monday night, Mrs. F. S. Tanner, the president, was given a testimonial of Sixty-five dollars for her faithful, fervent service in presiding over and leading the League. This was presented by Mrs. Mary A. Wilson. The president said that since they had won their fight for a new assistant superintendent that the League must not sit down and fold its arms; but, there is much that a live League can do as a civic organization for the general benefit of the community at large. The President announced that the League was ready and willing to colthe any child in Washington that had not the clothes necessary to attend school. Call on Mrs. F. S. Tanner. 1444 Q Street, N. W. The Hon. Fountain Peyton addressed the League. He suggested that the League purchase a home for the benefit of the young women of the city that needed a home where they could go and really feel at home. "There is an institution here pretending to give a home for girls but it has developed into a society affair and no poor girl can even think of being admitted there," said Mr. Peyton. "We need a home for our girls and I think the Parents League is the organization that should foster such a proposition. If we raised $4,500 to get rid of Bruce, we certainly can raise $6,000 for a girls' home. It will stand as a monument of the League's public service to this city when Bruce and his misadministration will have been forgotten. Attorney Chas. S. Hill made the observation that "the league must not sit down and simply boast of the recent victory, but the League must get ready to put some of the members of the School Board out of office; for there is one member on there who is morally unfit to serve on the Board Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS THREE DEATHS FROM THROWING LIGHTED LAMP THREE DEATHS FROM THROWING LIGHTED LAMP As the result of a lighted lamp being thrown by Percy Brown at Hester Jones, Tuesday night, at 2323 Conner's Court, northwest two women and a man who caused the death of the two women, have died at Emergency Hospital. Mrs. Marie Hughes lived at 2323 Conner's Court, with her three little girls. Mr. Hughes is said to be in prison. Percy Brown was rooming there and from the reports of the neighbors, this was a very disorderly house. Miss Hester Jones, who roomed at 2147 L street, and worked at Georgetown University Hospital was a frequent visitor at the Conner's Court place. The police say that Brown and the two women were quarrelling and he threw the lighted lamp at Hester Jones. The lamp broke, throwing blazing oil over the trio and setting the room on fire. It is alleged that a five gallon can of alcohol was under the bed, which exploded and intensified the fire. Hester Jones was the first to pass away after reaching Emergency Hospital. Mrs. Hughes died Wednesday at 2:45 o'clock and Percy Brown died Wednesday night. As all three of the persons are dead, full details of the facts leading up to the throwing of the lamp and the fast spreading of the fire cannot be obtained. DISSATISFACTION AT HOWARD TO COME UP NEXT WEEK There is much dissatisfaction in the various departments of Howard University. The Executive Committee is expected to meet Tuesday at which time some of the affairs will be thrashed out. The "Kaiser like" appointment of Dr. Jackson of Philadelphia to the Professorship of Hygiene and Sanitation at a salary of $3,500, met a stubborn protest from the Medical Faculty and resolutions were passed and sent to President Durkee of the University. Several members of the Medical Faculty have threatened to resign. Dr. Jackson has moved to Washington and will be present at the opening of school to assume his duties. There is dissatisfaction in the Law School. The displacing of Secretary Jackson, the raising of the tuition and other things have contributed to bring the matter to a head and trouble is brewing in that department. The Executive Committee meeting will be expected to clarify the unsettled conditions that have prevailed for weeks. The action of the committee will be watched for with interest.

W. 2 GLACIAL PERIOD IN DISPUTE GLACIAL PERIOD IN DISPUTE Ample Evidence That It Existed, but the Question is, When Did It End? When did the glacial period end? Was it, an American scientist pertilently asks, when the ice began to disappear, or had half disappeared, or had entirely disappeared? If the last mentioned, then we are still in the ice age, for Europe has its glaciers, and so have Labrador, the Rockies, Alaska and islands in the arctic regions, and, as every schoolboy is aware, Greenland is nearly covered with an ice cap. Can the question be settled by a reference to climate? If so, then the glacial period ended for, say, the Ontario region at the beginning of Lake Iroquois, for its trees belonged to a cold, temperate climate. Probably the point is best settled by making the glacial period a progressive event, regarding it as ending in one region perhaps thousands of years before it ends in another. Without doubt, this far-off epoch of thick-ribbed ice constitutes one of the great mysteries of the world's history. It is absolutely hedged in with uncertainty. Though it is generally believed that there was more than one ice age, no one can say with any degree of certainty whether there were three, four or six, or a dozen, for the matter of that. And the deepest of all mysteries connected with one or any of these icy periods is what was the cause of them. Both geologists and astronomers have, so far, failed to solve that problem. It is not yet even agreed as to what extent the ice cap covered the globe. THINGS ONE WOULD FORGET Among Them May Well Be Listed This, Told So Feelingly by Victim of Deaf Cashier. When I was a young fellow, shy and self-conscious, I went to a church sociable. I escorted three charming girls with angelic countenances and human appetites out to the refreshment table. After they had eaten all they wanted I found that I had left my pocketbook at home. A deaf man, whom I had never seen before, was at the cashier's desk. My face afame, I went down and said softly: "I regret to say that I have, unfortunately, come away without any change to—" "Change two?" chirped the old man. Oh, yes, I can—five if you want it." oh, yes. I can—live if you want it. A crowd of people was waiting impatiently to pay their bills and get away. Finally I shouted: "I have no money," and I was ready to sink into the earth, while all the people, especially the three girls I had treated, were giggling and chuckling audibly. Some of the church members came up to see what the uproar was, and recognizing me, made it all right with the cashier.—Chicago Tribune. Breeches Were Worn in Babylonia. Breeches, a garment for the legs, especially, as distinguished from trousers, for covering the upper portions of the legs, were formerly called hose in England. Breeches or hose were in use even among the ancient Babylonians. In Europe we find them first used among the Gauls, hence the Romans called a part of Gaul "breeched Gaul" (Galla braccata). In the Fifth century breeches had become fashionable in Rome. In the time of Queen Elizabeth and James I the breeches had assumed enormous dimensions, being stuffed out with various materials, as wool, hair, etc. King James' partiality for such breeches is well known, and we find him represented in an old engraving with wide stuffed breeches tapering to the knee, slashed and adorned with lace. In the reign of Charles I they took the form of short trousers, loose at the knee and ornamented with ribbons and lace. In the time of William III the tight knee-breeches came in, and were supplanted by trousers only in the Nineteenth century. Traveling. Ourselves are cosmic and capacious beyond conjecture and to experience some notion of the planetary perspective is the richest income from traveling. It takes all to inform and educate all. Sallies forth from our cramped firesides into other homes, other hearts, are wonderfully wholesome and enlarging. Travel opens prospects on all sides, widens our horizon, liberates the mind from geographical and conventional limitations, from local prejudices and national showing the globe in its different climates, zones and institutes of intelligence. The traveled mind is the catholic mind educated from exclusiveness and egotism—Exchange. Types of Oranges. The best known orange is the "sweet" or "round" type which comprises the bulk of the commercial crop. There are several other types, however. The mandarin or "kid glove" type—the tangerine, in other words—is common on the fruit stands, but it constitutes but a very small portion of the market supply. The Seville orange, known as the "sour" or "bitter" variety, rarely is grown for its fruit, but seedings are used extensively as root stocks on which to bud sweet oranges. The Bergamont orange, from the rind of which Bergamont oil is made, seldom is grown in the United States. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 The SANDMAN STORY A Jealous Old Maid By MURIEL BLAIR Heaven's gate — COPYRIGHT BROTHER TO THE BEAR G RANDPA COON sat in the doorway smoking when Mrs. Coon and her little ones came clawing down the tree nearby and ran toward the home of Grandpa Coon. "They certainly do act like them," said Grandpa as the little Coons came tumbling over him, "yes, my children, you are the 'Little Brothers of the Bears' sure enough." "Those big bears cannot be our brothers," said Timmy Coon, who asked more questions than his brothers, "why, Grandpa, they are bigger than you are." "Can't help it, sonny," replied Grandpa, taking his pipe from between his teeth. "The coon is called the Little Brother to the Bear, and if you all will sit down and keep very still I'll tell you how it came about." Timmy Coon and his brothers were soon sitting in a row in front of Grandpa Coon, for they were very "WHAT YOU DOING HERE?" HE ASKED. fond of his stories, and with their eyes wide open and ears sticking up so they could listen to every word they waited for him to begin. "It was a long, long time ago, you know, honeys," said Grandpa Coon, "way back long before I was born or my grandpa, either, that all this happened." The eyes of all the little coons grew bigger still with the goggglike rings around their eyes. "Yes, siree." said Grandpa, "it was J Dorothy Woods, leading woman with one of the prominent producing concerns, is a charming little "movie" star whose work on the screen is known to the thousands of patrons of the motion picture houses. a long, long time ago that day when Mr. Dog was a-chasing young Swifty Coon after he jumped from the tree where he thought he had him 'treed' for sure. "Swifty heard Mr. Dog a-coming behind him, and as he was running as fast as he could he knew that something had to be done right off quick or he would be a dead coon in a very few minutes. "Swifty thought of the tree ahead, but he knew that Mr. Dog would just sit under it and bark and wait for Mr. Man to come with his gun and then all his trouble would have been for nothing. "Right then Swifty saw ahead of him Mr. Bear's house with the door wide open, just as if he was expecting company, and he was going to have company only he did not expect it. "Well, into Mr. Bear's house tumbled Swifty and ran right under the table, where Mr. Bear was a-sitting reading. "Oh, save me, Mr. Bear!' said Swifty. 'That awful Mr. Dog is chasing me and back of him, I expect, is Mr. Man.' "Mr. Bear, he jumped right up, for he was not a bit afraid of Mr. Dog, but he did not care for Mr. Man at all. "When Mr. Dog came up to the door there stood great big Mr. Bear looking very cross and growling. "What you doing here? he asked, showing his mouthful of teeth, 'you been chasing my little brother, and if you don't run off home this very minute I shall eat you up.' "Mr. Dog, he just dropped his tall and he legged it for home so fast that Mr. Man never did know where he went, and he had to go home, too. "And ever since that time we have been called the 'Little Brother to the Bear.'" The Little Coons waited for a minute to see if Grandpa Coon would not tell another story, but his pipe fell from his hand on the grass and Grandpa's head began to nod, and they knew there would be no more stories that day. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB Although life often puzzles I won't waste time complaining—— I have those joyful feelings That never need explaining. Bird Incubator. The first and original incubator seems to have been the clever invention of an Australian bird of large size called the "brush turkey." It saves the fowl a great deal of time and trouble. The hen turkey lays her "clutch" of eggs in a neat circle, and then she and her mate scratch together a big pile of leaves and other forest trash to cover them. Decomposition of this vegetable material produces heat, whereby the eggs are kept at proper temperature for incubation. From time to time the male bird gives the heap a scratching over, as if to make sure that the temperature developed is neither too high nor too low. He does not permit the newly hatched young ones to emerge, however, until they are fully fledged and able to take care of themselves. Then he helps them to get out. "Don't talk to me about Elsie Strickland—or Bonner, as she is now—my dear. If ever I had been tempted not to believe in original sin that girl's ingratitude would have convinced me. And after all I've done for that girl, to treat me the way she has! "Of course Ralph Bonner was at the bottom of it—he and that Florence Williams. The Bonners were quite ordinary people—came here from the south, and nobody knows what they were before they came or why they had to leave their home, wherever it was. "Elsie Strickland was a sort of cousin of mine. Her mother left her in my care when she died, and I took the girl into my home and looked after her from the time she was twelve years old. I must admit she was a good worker. I can't find any fault with her on that score. But she had common ways. "Ralph Bonner used to call on me whenever he came home from the city. I don't know what he did there. People say I liked him, but that was just gossip. I hated him; I hate the very memory of him. "I'm ashamed to death to tell you, but I suppose it's the only thing that will stop the neighbors saying I was in love with him. "I can't tell you how shocked I was that little guttersnipe Elsie Strickland should steal him from me! I spoke to the girl as kindly as I was able; I told her that the Bonners were a worthless lot and were under suspicion of having had to leave their town in the South in a hurry. I asked her if she thought any one of them worthy to wipe the shoes of a well-bred, well-brought up lady like her. "But I love Ralph," said Elsie, kind of piteously. "The more fool you,' I answered, 'And that's more than he does you.' I went into that parlor and sat down to think. You remember that Florence Williams, who left town suddenly last year, to take a position as a stenographer her folkks said, but we thought she wouldn't have left so suddenly, if there wasn't something scandalous about it? Well, I knew she'd never dare to show her face in this village again. So I wrote a letter to her from Ralph—you know I'm quite good at imitating handwriting—and in it I had a few things that I knew would put an end to that garden flirtation. I showed the letter to Elsie next morning. "That's how much he cares for you," I said. "He's playing with you, child, as he did with that poor girl. Now what are you going to do?" "She turned so white I thought she was going to die. I had to give her ice water. "What ought I to do, aunt? she asked me. I brought her up to call me ma'am in public and aunt in private. I thought it sounded more affectionate. "I'll dictate a letter to him that will save your pride, my dear," I answered. And believe me, it was a stinger. "I found out that they were engaged and he was to send for her in a few months. I knew an answer would come from him. I watched for the postman. Sure enough it came. It almost made me cry, I'm so soft-hearted; but I knew my duty and burned the letter. "Well, no more letters came, and Elsie went 'round growing as pale and white as a ghost. "After Labor day I knew Ralph couldn't come back for another year, and I breathed freer. I forgot all about the business, in fact. "And then, about the middle of October, the worst came to pass. I was sitting in my little room at the back, reading, and supposing Elsie was busy doing the laundry. She had got strong again and liked to be useful to me. Suddenly there came a tap at the door and in walked Elsie, Ralph, and that Florence Williams. "I put a bold face on the matter. I had to. "Ralph Bonner came forward and planked a document down on the table. 'I don't care to judge you, Miss Jones,' he said. 'That's between yourself and your Maker. But you'll sign this paper or I'll have you arrested for criminal libel.' "I remember the very words: 'I hereby acknowledge that I have forged the appended letter purporting to be from Ralph Bonner to Florence Williams,' it ran. There was a lot more to it, calling me names. But I signed it, dear. They had me trapped, you see. "What do you think had happened? That false jade, Elsie, had gone to the Williams woman and asked her about her relations with Ralph and found out about my well-meant plan to save her. They had telegraphed for Ralph, and the three of them had put their heads together and planned the miserable conspiracy. Of course Elsie had stolen the letter out of my desk—at least, I suppose she had. "Well, they all marched out of the house together and that was the last I saw of them. So I don't expect to see Elsie Bonner again. You see, they were married that evening, and now the poor child's under her husband's thumb completely, they tell me. But anyhow, it's a satisfaction to feel that one has done one's duty, my dear, and I shall never regret it. Besides, they'll all go to the bad, some day." Terms arranged.

POSITIONS GUARANTEED THE NEGRO'S GRIN THE NEGRO'S GRIN Often, almost too often, we read sneering and sarcastic references to the Negro's grin. It is usually introduced by the whites to prove that the Negro is lacking in any of the finer mental traits of people. His inability to suffer, to be concerned over the welfare of others, to know that he is being insulted or outraged, and in the last analysis he does not know that he is not being treated as a man and hence should not be treated as a man. One does not need to argue to prove these statements, lies—just state facts. Take the first one, the supposed inability to suffer. No race in the world loves its children as completely as the Negro, for no race makes the tremendous sacrifices for the happiness and well being of their children as does the Negro parent. And the ability to love supremely proves the ability to suffer to the same extent. You can't blame the persecutors when he and his have taken part in a horrible spree of murder and destruction against a race of people solely because they look as God made them, for being outdone because their intentions were not a complete success to the extent that those who were not killed physically, were neither killed mentally and spiritually. The wanton destruction of anything whether people or the ideals, hopes and faith of people is an absolute waste. If the white mob could add to their own days the possible years that their victim in might have lived; if the white courts could add to their own ideals of democracy and justice that which is crushed out of black prisoners; if the white public could add to their own hope of a chance to live and raise their children, unhampered by a silly prejudice, which brings unnecessary hardship, that which they take from Negro citizens; if the white press and pulpit could add to their own faith in God and right, what the newspapers by lies, with the silence of the pulpit screaming "Amen" to these lies, attempts to take from us, there would be some scrap of an excuse for the destruction that they daily bring to pass. But their victim is dead and equally as dead are the hopes, faith and ideals which cannot be revived by the murderer for his own use. The feeling of awe in the white American who does these things, when he sees how little real destruction he has wrought, save to his own possible respectability and civilization, must be equal to that which Nebuchadnezzar felt when he attempted to destroy faith in God by burning in the fiery furnace the three men who simply expressed their faith. The narrative tells us that they were not hurt and that "the smell of fire had not passed on them," but that their faith had been made stronger by the murderous test to which they had been put. And so even the "smell" of the destructive fire of hate does not enshroud the Negro. His grin however proves his inability to comprehend the depth to which the white man has sunk, because, the Negro has not sunk to this same depth of mental degradation, and so has no way of recognizing it, therefore, he is not burned in the manner the oppressor would have him; burned and seered mentally. The Negro does not grow sullen or stagnant and cease to grow, but rather he grins and grows and his grin gets contempt and ridicule because he is able to grin. His grin in the face of American oppression and defeat stands for the same thing that the white man's grin in the face of defeat stands for, the ability to forget the defeat of yesterday and the determination to try again.

Seip eal ee ee —T THE PERISCOPE PAN-AFRICA AND BLACK FRENCH DEPUTIES By William Pickens (The Associated Negro Press) nae eet. ae eee ts yee eae a Pan-African movement, or any movement to unite ALL AFRICANS of the world in common understanding and purpose, either thru the intellect- ual leaders or by organization of the masses. But there is one announcement from the Congress of African blood that assembled in Paris with which we most decidedly disagree. That announcement is credited to Diagne, the black Erench Deputy, who is the president of the Congress. He is re- ported to have said that “blacks all over the world” are opposed to an “African Empire,”—conveying the idea that blacks, in and out of Africa, do not want empire. Whoever heard the equal for this? Is there any race of people, even in the wilds of Africa, who are so inferior or so little human as not to want, much less be opposed to having, ¢mpire? But we could un- derstand and agree with Diagne if he had said that the blacks of French Africa are not likely to get an empire of any kind so long as they are repre- sented in the French Chamber of Deputies by black men who are willing to abdicate rights in the name of their whole race, in order that they as individuals may occupy prominent and easy places among whité men. We speak plainly because we are one of the mass. The colored people would show themselves unfit for em- pire if they did not regard as an insult the suggestion from high office that they do not ever want empire or self-government. Even if Diagne had said: “My people are hard- ly yet prepared for empire,” we might find a more possible basis of agree- ment with him. But it is preposter- ous for a black. man, in high place himself as an officer of empire, to assert that his race (all the rest of them!) “all over the world” do not even have the ordinary ambitions of men so much as to even want the only self-respecting status for men— self-government. We may excuse Diagne on the ground that he has not yet been “all over the world” and has received misinformation. Everything has its funny side, and there was a bit of comedy accompany: ing this stalling and hedging of the ‘Afro-Frenchmen. For the same dis- patch which told of how Diagne in his omniscience declared that all that is desired by all black men in govern- ment is “co-operation with the white race,” told also that “a delegate from Haiti complained of the injustices of of the American occupation of the island.” We wonder if any man pres- ent had enough of the sense of humor to laugh when this eloquent example of “co-operation” spoke up. This is a fair example of the co-operation of ‘a stronger race with a weaker race in governing the weaker-race's territory. ‘The delegates from Mississippi and Tulsa could also have spoken illumi nating commentaries. And why on earth should this Congress interest it self in black government in Haiti where there is a handful of Negroes and yet be “opposed” to black gov- ernment in Africa, where there are worlds full of Negroes? Of all places in this world, Africa is the first plac¢ where the nations ought to expect tc welcome a really great black govern: ment. We do not believe in “Black Zion- ism” either, in the sense that all Ne groes from other countries will eve return to Africa. And there is ever no such “Zionism” among the Jew: in reference to Palestine. If anybods ever reckoned that the Jewish cam: paign to establish a Jewish state it Palestine meant that all the Jews o New York would return to Palestine that somebody reckoned without the New York Jew. And yet there is perhaps not a Jew in all New Yor! {who would not like to see his race i political independence in Palestine, © Elsewhere, if it could be so. Tt woul fot lower the status of New Yor! Jews, and it certainly would fot b {unwelcome to Jews of oppressive coun tries like Poland and Turkey. “It i the same with African descendants it other countries: the great majorit ‘will stay where they are, but thous ands of them would go to Africa, or t ay Moon, if they had a free and inde THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 poe WARING eee Eee fi YOU KNOW WHY ~~~ A Woman Never Gets Her Work Done ? ‘ ear of France than to the heart of the black millions when they declared that all the Negro wants, is to “co-operate” with the white man in governing, not the white man’s country, mind you! but the Negro’s. French co-operation with the blacks of Haiti, and we gen- erously believe that it is this difference in the French way which prevents Diagne from correctly understanding the situation and the desires and long- ings of the black millions whom he does not know. He might have spoken more correctly for his fellow-blacks in North Africa, and especially for their French-favored leaders, than for the “blacks all over the world.” When the blacks in many parts of the world speak for themselves, he will begin to count his wrong guesses. The deepest desire of the black millions is for government, self-gov- ernment, independent, sovereign, strong aml mighty, and the most logi- cal place of all places to desire to establish such government would be Africa, where practically the whole black race lives. x Pullman Porter Tips Mrs. Frank Cassell is home from a long vacation in Atlantic City.

BETTER SCHOOLS FOR THE SOUTH Somerville, Tenn. Sept. 14—For the past ten days, Fayette County has been blessed with an unusual educa- tional campaign. Beginning Monday, September 5, fourteen rural school- houses in Fayette County and one in Hardeman County have been dedi- cated with fitting programs. The principal speakers ‘in these programs were Mr. Clinton J. Calloway of Tus- kegee Institute, Alabama, who is Field Agent for Rosenwald Schools; Mrs. W. P. Ware, Jeanes Fund Super- visor for Fayette County; Mr. W. P. Ware, principal of the Fayette County ‘Training School, Somerville; Bishop J. F. Lane of Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., Miss R. E. Davis, District Home Demonstration Agent for West Tenn.; Mr. A. F. Ward, Cashier of the Fraternal Savings Bank, Memphis, ‘Tennessee; Mr. W. R. Davis, Negro Farm Demonstration Agent for Fa- yette County, and Mr. Geo. P. Mays, Field Representative of the Fraternal Savings Bank, Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Calloway, the principal speaker on each occasion, stressed the impor- tance of longer school terms, regu- larity in attendance by the children, and a liberal use of the schoolhouse by the parents in holding their com- munity meetings. Fayette County is purely rural with a population of 27,000 Negroes, 9,000 of whom are school age. Hardeman County Training School 14 miles from the Fayette County Training School, was dedicated by : party of speakers on September 13 County Superintendent M. L, Hardin with other white citizens, was presen apd in a very pleasing address, as sured the colored people of the coun ie that the Board of Education stand ready to lend a hand in making the school what it should be. This build ‘ing is of brick and cost $20,000. ‘Th colored people, by private subscrip tion, contributed $7,000 of this amount.

The two teams have agreed to play this game over next Sunday, so that the fans will not be disappointed. This game will be staged on the grounds just north east of the Union Station, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock; good order and deportment is assured. The following games are scheduled for Sunday; St. Cyprians vs. Athletics, at 11 o'clock on diamond northeast of Union Station; The Red Sox’s vs. Deanwood, on diamond No. 8, Monu- ment Grounds at 3 o'clock; Piedmonts vs. Athletics, on diamond No. 8, Monument grounds at 1:30 o’clock.

All managers are asked to take notice and have games start promptly. ‘The following Umpires are asked to eall at The Tribune's office at once; Clinton Guy, James Carroll, Danny Desperate, Tom Harlan and Spencer. ‘The public is cordially invited to attend these games. PIEDMONTS TO HAVE FOOT BALL ‘The Piedmonts A.

Although the ground was not marked off, the team got in some good practice, The handling of the ball by routine methods and landing of approaching opponents in form were the essentials. All the players who reported, appeared to be willing and ready for real hard practice. Sun- day morning practices are to be con- tinued. All men desiring to try out for the team, are advised to make ap- plication at once. ‘The. team issues a challenge to all clubs ingthis section.

The Stage and the Screen (By Jay Bee) Just A Word About Phil Worde Phil Worde, well known here, a former pianist at the Hiawatha thea- ter, but now connected with the offi- ces of Handy Bros. musie publishers of New York, has added “Honey Don’t Go,” another song success to his string. The song is being elabo- rately featured by Shea and Hewitt and Lillian Pearl of the “Mayflower” show and it is considered one of the best song numbers in the show. It is thought by many of Phil's friends here that he received his in- spiration for’this song just a little while before he left for New York City. Children Our performers should give the matter of profanity more serious con- sideration. Many acts that would easily be adjudged “very good” or “excellent” have been deteriorated by the insistent use of detestable profani- tye Many of the audiences consist of a goodly number of children, who are lured to these places of amusement by the glaring posters of some exciting photoplay, which after they witness, are justly entitled to see good, clean vaudeville acts entirely devoid of everything but good wholesome hu- mor. It can be done and audiences will greatly appreciate anything that performers may do toward uplifting the general line of chatter, which is so prevalent in so many of our vaudeville acts. > Out of the great number of per- formers who visit our city, the ratio of profanity users is exceedingly small, when an inventory is made of the number of acts that do real good clean comedy. Vulgarity and profani- ty are two of the surest defects that will greatly assist in “closing” your offering to public favor. ‘These offen- sive methods will get you nowhere. For example, T. Spencer Finley, now deceased, widely popular come- dian was one of the most distinctly remembered performers who ever faced a Washington audience. He en- tertained the patrons of the Hiawatha Theatre for many months and he really amused both the young and the old with his unadulterated genuine hu- mor, never at any time resorting to anything that would suggests impro- priety. What is possible in the case of one professional in this line is likewise possible for another. Read the news- papers; keep up with the current topics of the day and you will surely find*plenty of material from which to obtain some real wholesome humor. Good clean jokes are always appre- ciated. Think this over. Mid Night Shows Once a week, Howard theatre has been featuring midnight shows, which have recently become a popular fad. ‘These performances, as a general rule are well-attended and the programs offered often prove, very attractive. Foraker Adopts New Policy, ‘The Foraker management, in face of the great difficulty experienced in obtaining acts of standard caliber each and every week and in an effort to give to the patrons the best to be obtained, have proposed the indefinite engagement of Edgar Martin's Broad- way Players, versatile mirth pro- vokers. This is one of the snappiest aggregations on the Dudley time and their offerings are always received with much enthusiasm, ‘They open there this week. Colored Actors Union Growing ‘The membership of the Colored Ac- tor’s Union is rapidly increasing. Many of the performers have availed themselves of the opportunity of join- ing while the entrance fee is $5.00. After October 1 the fee will be $10.00. According to Boots Hope, secretary, there are 107 houses on the circuit in which road shows and vaudeville can be played; 27 stock companies and 500 vaudeville acts. He says further that these statements can be backed up with figures. Figures don’t lie, but Boots does—only when in front of the fotlights and then is known as the “King of Liars.” Daintv Juvenile Performer Not so long ago, while reviewing a vaudeville performance; an apparently appreciative audience gave noisy evi- dences of approval of the efforts of a dainty juvenile entertainer, possibly six years old, who was really clever in her song and graceful numbers. ‘Suddenly, the little performer began “ghimmying”; even though she was roundly applauded for nerve and nim- bleness of feet, several protests were heard relative to this particular fea- ture of her dancing and the consensus of opinion was that the little one should only sing and do graceful dances, eliminating the “shimmy.” Raymond Murray proves to be Capable Manaver ” This marks the fifth week of Mr. Raymond H. Murray’s complete ad- ministration of the Dunbar, Foraker and Hiawatha Theatres. During this pewiod he has looked after the “house management” in ad- dition to his former duties of “book- ing” the pictures. Through an effective organization method, Mr. Murray has encountered and decisively mastered several ex- ceedingly complex situations, due pos- sibly to the recent change in the management of the above-named theatres. He is being~highly compli- mented by the many staunch patrons of these race enterprises. Jn an interview, “Ray” stated that the future hold but success if his pres- ent plans do not go amiss. He seems highly elated over the very generous support that is being given these houses and hopes for a continuance of the same in the future. Mr. Billy Pierce, popularly knowns as “Agate” about town, according to the latest reports in theatrical circles, will leave for Norfolk, Va., soon, at which place he will take over the management of the Crispus Attucks theatre.

Al- bert J. Mitchell, as chairman, Mr. William Watts, vice-chairman; Mr. George T. Beason, secretary; at a cost of about six thousand dollars; two thousand of which was raised before the improvements begun and the bal ance was provided by a loan from the membership of the church, individuals lending fifty and a hundred dollars, the church paying them the six per cent interest which they would have paid to a banking institution, All of the improvements will be completed by Sunday, Oct. 2nd, when the congregation will enter the main auditorium with the observance of the Holy Communion.

This widely-advertised affair was directly responsible for the presence of several persons, who ordinarily do not keep pace with dance attractions. “Cholly Lee,” the Casino constable, was forced to call out his “reserves” in his strenuous efforts to facilitate the handling of the huge mass of in- quisitive pleasure seekers that filled the dancing palace to the, tune of about 1200 (more or less). ‘The advertisements announced that there would be three jazz bands in at- tendance; the names of two being published, while the third was termed the “Dark Horse.” On the stroke of twelve, eight masked figures in Tuxedos entered the hall amid cheers and much enthu- siasm, When these mystery men un- masked, to the surprise of all; Our old buddy, Branson and his Arcade Jazzers newly formed proved to be the “Dark Horse.” They put over many snappy numbers and favorably impressed all. One of the best jokes of the even- ing was “pulled” when fully twenty minutes more of dancing was to be had; these birds played a tune, that included a few strains of “Home, Sweet Home” and the unwary, dance. worn toddlers made a wild dash for their wraps and head-gears, but they all seemed entirely pleased as well as all jazzed out. keh eae te hea and Canada, have returned to the city.

Malcolm D. ThoinasCo. Electrical Contractors 1938 15th Street, N. W. North 8882 Music Forum 6 Among the qualities common to mankind, pride of attainment is conspicuous. It first shows itself at the very threshold of life, when the child's face lights with exultation because he has taken his first feeble steps alone, and follows him through each succeeding effort, even until he becomes old and all that is left in him in which to feel pride is that he can walk unaided. Pride is often accompanied by and associated with another quality, that of dignity, which may be considered first as a consciousness of power, position or worth; the dignity of thought or mind, and second, this conveyed to and exemplified through the body in action or repose—the dignity of manner. Dignity, unlike pride of attainment, is not a universal gift, hence culture and inheritance must share in its development and display. The student should understand the influence and value of dignity. If he sees in his chosen pursuit enough of promise to justify him in making the sacrifice of time and money, his identification with it should be on the highest possible level. His growth into his subject should be spiritual as well as technical. He cannot afford to weaken the relation between himself and his art or pursuit by an ignoble or trivial treatment of it. To be successful, one must be serious. He cannot be on too dignified terms with that to which he is giving his expanding years. He first must discriminate between reserve and dignity. Reserve repels; it is a holding aloof from the free and natural intercourse with one's fellows, in a sense depriving them of a share in qualities of mind and heart that are their just due. One must not disregard the influence of dignity upon his after life. Study and observation will stimulate him to give the subject fair consideration, and the earnest student will adjust his manner and his thought coincidently. It is the loose fashioning of one's destiny that fills the ranks with commoners. Be one a student of either the arts or sciences, his selection and consecration are imperfect if the infinitude of possibilities do not fill his mind with high purposes and reveal an increasing dignity of both spirit and manner. It is not enough, however, to say: "I am in earnest, time will ripen and perfect presence and character." One must bring to it thought. He cannot dwell for a moment on the subject of dignity without in some measure enriching his life. We cannot ignore the outward effect; impression has a part to play. The eyes of one's fellow students are upon him, and even they constantly if but half consciously, weigh his every motive and its accompanying action, and estimate as to his success in life. The question may arise, "Shall I assume an air of dignity I do not feel?" The answer is, "The difference between true and false dignity is not that false dignity is assumed and the true is not, but that dignity is a potent factor of success is or is not appreciated." One can assume a dignity that he does not inherit or feel because he values its display as consistent with his art or purpose in life. In short, he rises to its requirements, fully justified, with the infallible result of quickly incorporating into his life the true virtue and charm of dignity. One who assumes a dignity that serves only as a cloak beneath which some social or commercial ends are waiting its effect, is wanting in refinement, and does not rate dignity at its true value. In common with all virtues, dignity can be acquired Mr. Alexander Wood who was recently accidentally shot, has left the hospital and is now confined at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Dora Harris in the 600 block of S. Columbus St. Miss Mandena Wilson, 510 Gibbon Street, is still confined to her home. The Beulah Baptist Church has completed its remodeling.

SEPTEMBER 24. 1921 and perfected by taking thought. In honor of one truth we as students must dip our flag—there is no moral, mental or physical condition incapable of betterment. Our responsibilities, therefore, are equal to the clearness with which we see this fact. Dignity, then, is a study, an attainment, and as such is a legitimate feature of our curriculum, and should receive its share of attention. Talleyrand, noted for his pithy maxims, the most common of which is, "Nothing succeeds as well as success" says: "Our welcome to a stranger depends upon the name he bears, upon the coat he wears, our farewell upon the spirit he has displayed in the interview," which if more definitely worded, may mean, we temper the cordiality of our greeting by the dignity of his manner, and of our farewell by the dignity of his thought. Stanhope, the Earl of Chesterfield, insists that "Dignity is necessary to make even the most valued character either respected or respectable." He adds, "A lack of it either offends your superiors who dub you their dependent, or gives your inferiors just but improper claims of equality." Our speech cannot be justly confined to the student; the teacher is the great thought motor; it is to him the student must look for example as well as for precept. How fair the prospect then if the young and plastic mind is led into association with masters that value their opportunities, that make of their opportunities the gravest responsibilities. What is more touching or pregnant with suggestion than the tribute successful men pay to their teachers? How often has it occurred that a man is so fraught with the blended attainments of earnestness, dignity, and the gift of searching out the fallow spots in the pupil's mind that not one, but all who were so fortunate as to be his pupils, were men remarkable for their power and success. It is to the teacher the world largely owes her debt of gratitude for mind, thought and activity, much of which would have been lost in obscurity but for the commanding dignity and force with which the deeper purposes of life were brought home to the minds and hearts of students. Dignity neither shines like the sun, beams like the moon, nor twinkles like the stars, but, like the deepening calm of twilight, subdues and awes into respectful mood all who fall within the circle of its gracious quietude. Cultivate, therefore, Dignity as an essential factor in musical achievement. (By the Associated Negro Press) Evanston, Ill., Sept.—Music is just as important as the multiplication table, and folk dancing is as great a spur to youthful brains as is geography, in the opinion of Frederick W. Nichols, superintendent of school district No. 76, comprising the South Evanston schools, who announced a new regime for the Lincoln, Oakton, Central and Washington grade schools last Wednesday night. "I am going to eliminate home work," said Supt. Nichols. "It is the bugbear of school children. And there will be no examinations; they merely worry the youngsters. The students will do all their scholastic work right in the classrooms." In addition, the schools will remain open until 10 o'clock in the evening for special classes in manual training, music, languages, art, dramatics, athletic games, folk dances, domestic science and movies. The parents will be invited to come to these classes with their children.

The primitive form of business, and the one which prevails among our group, is that of the individual proprietor. The individual, as a rule, operates a small business, with limited capital, and is only responsible to himself for success or failure. The partnership, where two or more persons agree to do business together, is the first step toward a wider field, of operation. Often it is a family affair. At one time the joint stock company was formed as an advanced step in business organization. It can best be described as a combination of partnerships. It may be formed by a contract instead of a certificate and is exempted from an annual tax. Co-operative associations represent another form of business organization which has proved more popular in Europe than in America. Since the world war these associations have increased considerably more than at any other period in this country. Cooperation for our group means a surprising success. The Corporation is easily the dominant form of business organization in America. It is a creature of the law and all of its rights, duties and powers are obtained from legislation. We should give more attention to the power and possibilities for both co-operation and corporation for organizing our group in fundamental economic and commercial enterprises. There was never a more propitious time for the young men of our race to enter business, big business, incorporated business and co-operative business than now, the eternal NOW. BUSINESS BRIEFS Reconstruction and readjustment must have run its course here in Washington for "going into business" seems to be the order of the day. Wm. I. Howard 1927 9th Street, Northwest, has opened the Howard Fish and Oyster House, where he serves fish and oysters in any style. Oysters may be had raw or cooked, wholesale and retail. Oysters by the dozens, pint or in any style. The place has been remodeled, electric lights placed in the building, and the whole inside has been repointed and refurnished. Mr. Howard is a chef of long experience and cooks a fish with the brown finish that lovers of the funny tribe enjoy so well. The kitchen is sanitary in every respect and Mr. Howard is a careful, painstaking and courteous chef with the desire to please in the service to his customers. Soft drinks may be had for the Among the new business enterprises to enter the busy life of Washington, is that of the Huskerson Construction Company, with offices at 1353 U St. Northwest. They are prepared to do general contracting, remodeling, repairing, building, engineering and electrical work. William Huskerson, from whom the company takes its name, is a graduate Civil Engineer of Howard in 1914. During the war he served in the Canal Zone in Panama. Recently he and Mr. S. Z. C. Westerfield formed the Huskerson Construction Company and have been busy with a number of places under their supervision. Mr. S. Z. C. Westerfield, is a graduate Electrical Engineer of the University of Nebraska in 1911. During the war he served at the Camp at Western University, Kans. He has been in Washington the past two years. Among the jobs they are putting over may be mentioned the $15,000 garage for Federic Fitchett, on Second Street, near Penna. Ave. A $10,000 dormitory for the Susan B. Cook School in Anacostia. These young men bid fair to demonstrate their abilities as leaders in their line of activities and become a factor in the construction field of Washington. Read The Tribune day night.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 THE STAGE AND THE SCREEN Advertise To Interested Readers Continued from Page 4 PHYLLIS' LIMITED NUMBERS MADE HER A PICTURE STAR Phyllis Haver, who plays the leading feminine role in Mack Sennett's newest five-reel super-comedy, "Married Life," (at the Dunbar Wednesday and Thursday) came to the screen after making her first public appearances in a motion picture playhouse. It happened at a residential photoplay house in Los Angeles, where the orchestra consisted of—Phyllis. She was the pianist and her weekly (or, as she spelled it, just coming out from under high school influences, "w-e-a-k-l-y") stipend was twenty dollars. It was her engrossing duty to follow the action of the plot upon the screen and supply the "atmosphere" music, mostly rag-time and popular songs of the day. She says she held her job till her repertoire gave out. She only knew about twenty compositions of the desired kind and when the boss himself became acquainted with them, he asked her for variety. Whereupon, aiming to please, the immature Phyllis played the sad music in the merry places and the merry music in the sad places, but somehow, this didn't please the manager who fired her. A GOLD BRICK always looks good. It has to. Its promising appearance is its sole virtue. Looks alone will not sell goods today. Merchandise with a name, 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 Opinion any other sort is condemned. Meanwhile the "screen" had entered the life of Phyllis who had no difficulty in securing a "test" at the Mack Sennett Studios. She passed the test with great and contoured glory and became a Bennett Bathing Girl. Native gifts in acting added to her natural gifts of grace and beauty promoted her to small roles and thence to large ones until now Miss Phyllis Haver templates starship without so much as a blink of her pretty grey eyes. THE MIRACLE OF MANHATTAN IS ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN'S GREATEST PICTURE Elaine Hammerstein whose delineations of the best type of womanhood have established her as one of the favorite stars of the silent art, has, in her latest Selznick Picture, "The Miracle of Manhattan," which will be presented at the Dunbar Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, a role which makes more demands upon her ability than any part she has hitherto played. As the somewhat self-opinioned young society woman who is suddenly plunged into a phase of life and surroundings that are entirely foreign to her, Miss Hammersstein is enabled to depict a series of subtle changes of character that at once stamp her as a supreme artist. At the beginning of Bradley King's photoplay Miss Hammerstein is pictured as a young woman of refinement and wealth who is about to marry a man she really does not care for, merely because it will be what an ambitious aunt considers a "good match." Chance throws across her path a girl who is destitute and who in desperation has made the first step on the downward path. The society butterfly who has never had to shift for herself cannot understand the other's lack of courage and in a spirit of adventure attempts to prove that any girl can easily support herself. Her adventure is about to end in a dismal failure when she, as a final resort, accepts a position to sing in a chean cabaret. THE Advertiser of today must not only seek circulation, but must also seek Interested Readers—Readers who are not only interested in the news columns but the advertising as well. Here she meets characters such as she never knew existed and is forced to rely on the protection of a man who, under ordinary circumstances she would not even have deigned to look upon. His honest love is at first not even considered but when the true woman in her comes to the surface she realizes the sacrifices he has made for her and she sees the light. The various emotions and mental changes of the character as portrayed by Miss Hammerstein represents the acme of acting and make "The Miracle of Manhattan" this winsome star's greatest photoplay. WISE 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 District of Columbia. New Orchestra at Howard, Have You Heard It? While at the Supper Show the other evening, and at the same time noting the well-filled auditorium, I was greatly impressed with the entrancing music of the orchestra, in which my sensitive ears distinguished the sounds of several instruments that had been added by Manager Vincent Thomas. It reminded me of the good old days. It looks as though history is repeating itself at the Supper Show nowadays. The Washington Tribune Washington's Most Widely Circulated Weekly Office: 920 U, N. W.

Negro Performers Give Jim Crow Project Black Eye Recently, E. F. Albee, vaudeville magnate and a prominent figure in the National Vaudeville Artist's Club, a non-union organization, composed of white and colored performers, made an unsuccessful attempt to organize a Jim Crow branch to this organization, because he feared a movement on the part of many of its Negro members to affiliate with the ranks of organized labor. He proposed a great rally at the Lafayette Theatre, which house, according to reports, was leased for the demonstration, but owing to a deliberate stand against discrimination the rally never came about. He and his emissaries later abandoned the project. A portion of the Billboard's comment follows: "According to an official of one of the colored actor clubs, the colored actors in common with the rest of their race, have acquired some degree of self-consciousness. They have in recent years gotten away from the idea of having the better things of life handed them and are exhibiting a tendency to appreciate the fact that it is difficult to retain their self respect and at the same time be objects of philanthropy. "The Dressing Room club, the Colored Vaudeville Beneficial Association, the Clef Club and the Amsterdam Association of Negro Musicians are the local colored actors organizations. The Colored Actor's Union, with Headquarters in Washington, D. C., also has many members among the New York group of performers. "The Negro performers are, as a rule, well educated people and they are naturally a bit proud of the fact. It is only natural that they should resent having one of the few among their number, who is unfortunate in that particular selected to lead them anywhere," declared the club official in reference to the Albee N. V. A. boosters. "They are indignant that it should be thought that such leadership should be tolerated. This might have been overlooked were it not for the fact that all of the more intelligent of the group are known to be the interests behind the N. V. A." It demonstrates that the concerted efforts of these several organizations is power to be reckoned with. There is much to be gained by such a decided stand and the magnate who tried to pull that stuff off must consider that the Negro of today is not the Negro of yesterday.

WILKINSON'S FIRST OFFICIAL ACT When a person enters upon the duties of a public office, the public places much emphasis on the first action, interview or order issued by the new official. Shortly after Prof. Garnet Wilkinson assumed his new duties as assistant superintendent, he called in representatives of the colored press and had a heart to heart conference with them, which resulted in winning the good will and friendship of the press of the Capital. His first official act, however—one that is outstanding and demonstrates his regard for the confidence of the public in him, the realization of his duty to the public, and his strength of character—is the recommending of Prof. Walter L. Smith for the principalship of Dunbar High School. There were several candidates for the position—some with political influence and with recommendations from many prominent persons. About the thirteenth of July, Prof. Wilkinson was called to a certain home in the northwest section and three prominent men told him that they wanted him to recommend Mr. Bruce for Dunbar. Mr. Wilkinson informed the gentlemen that he would not recommend him for the position. It required moral courage to take that stand. Prof. Smith was selected because Mr. Wilkinson knew of his personal worth and his executive ability, as well as his intellectual attainments. He also considered the fact that Mr. Smith was not connected with any faction and was non-political in his aspirations. Mr. Smith is quiet and unassuming; and the public and parents can rest assured of now having the strongest combination as assistant superintendent and principal of Dunbar High School that has been in the colored schools for a number of years. The Parents League is satisfied with both the assistant superintendent and the principal of Dunbar. Therefore, the school system is apparently free for a constructive program for the public's benefit.

The convention of the colored people of the "Old Dominion" recently held in Richmond, Va., is a concrete demonstration of the possibilities of united effort on the part of colored people in a political move that would command recognition and respect. Led by J. R. Pollard, men and women met there from all over the state, nominated a state gubernatorial ticket for the fall election with the expressed purpose of proving to C. Bascum Slemp and his "Lily White". organization calling itself the Republican party of Virginia with Henry Anderson heading the ticket for governor, that colored people who have supported the Republicans for the last 60 years are seeing the light with the result that they will not submit further to rank un-American, un-principled and un-justifiable inconsideration when plans, programs and platforms are made. This independent action on the part of the colored voters of Virginia is a lesson for colored voters of every state where they enjoy that privilege, to form an independent organization of their own, and like others, bargain with the party that will recognize their strength and give consideration accordingly. It is a step forward in the colored man's political experience and should be followed by others who have the moral courage of their convictions. In the light of recent events and the forgetfulness of the present administration, every colored person capable of thinking for himself or herself, has license to have definite convictions as regards the action of the Republican party toward the colored people. Having these convictions, let them act accordingly. Follow the independents of Virginia. It developed in court that the tickets and advertisements read "For the material aid of Carrie Johnson." Judge O'Toole ruled that "the tickets and other advertisements were good and sufficient evidence that the 'Fashion Revue' was given for the material aid of Carrie Johnson." There was nothing on the tickets, cards or bills (which constituted the contract between the public and the club) to substantiate Mrs. Savoy's statement that the money was raised merely for the "legal, legitimate expenses" to which she originally testified. A letter from Dr. Fisher to the "Pollyannas," was read in court in which he said that he would sue the club for the rent of the hall on the night of February 25, if they did not turn over all of that money to Miss Johnson as they promised to do. The court adjourned after Dr. Fisher left the stand until 11:00 o'clock Saturday morning. Mrs. Annie Burwell, the president of the "Pollyannas" was the first on the stand on Saturday. She testified that the club only promised to pay the "legal, legitimate expenses of Miss Johnson, and gave other testimony of the same character as that testified to by Mrs. Ruth Savoy. She remembered everything her attorney asked her about, but, when Attorney Gaskins, on cross examination, asked her if she remembered the conversation between himself and the club on March 17, at the Swann Street meeting, Mrs. Burwell remembered only that he said. "$750 would be sufficient 88 CLUB ADMITS AFFAIR WAS GIVEN FOR CARRIE JOHNSON CLUB ADMITS AFFAIR WAS GIVEN FOR CARRIE JOHNSON (Continued from page 1) in court said: "The said defenders (the Pollyannas) did not severally, or collectively, or as an association as aforesaid, conduct or undertake, promise or agree to conduct, for the benefit of the plaintiff (Carrie Johnson) . . . the certain charity ball, . . . and did not promise that they would turn over to the plaintiff for her own use, or for any purpose, all or any money realized or collected by or thru the said entertainment, or as its profits, as in the plaintiff's said affidavit alleged." This statement was signed and sworn to by Mrs. Ruth Savoy, Mrs. Adelle G. Parks, and Mrs. Annie Burwell. Mrs. Savoy testified on the stand that they realized $1,005.71 from the "Fashion Revue." Twenty-eight dollars and fifty cents of that amount was paid to an architect for some drawings used in the trials. It was brought out under cross examination, conducted by Mr. Gaskins, that the "Pollyannas" had deposited the residue of this fund in the Industrial Savings Bank, in a separate account for Carrie Johnson. Dr. Charles Fisher testified that he gave the Central Coliseum free of charge with the distinct understanding that the "Pollyannas" were to give this "Fashion Revenue" for the benefit of Carrie Johnson and that the money was to be turned over to her, in full, without any quibbling. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 c. to cover all expenses necessary for the coming trial or trials of Miss Johnson." Mr. Gaskin asked Mrs. Burwell, "What, if anything was said about the residue?" "I do not recall," answered Mrs. Burwell. Here her memory failed her completely and no matter how Attorney Gaskin framed his question, Mrs. Burwell "could not recall" what was to be done with the residue of $250.

It seemed evident that there was more money raised at this "Fashion Revue" than was expected. Judge O'Toole realized this, for she said, "Had the amount been around $100, doubtless it would have been turned over to the girl; but, since it was a large amount, it made a difference." Some of the "Pollyannas" have been heard to say that "she had never had that much money at one time and will not know what to do with it." Henry E. Davis, the "Pollyannas" white lawyer said: "It was not intended to turn this money over to this girl to throw away on fine clothes and to go to the theatres." RECORD OF POLLYANNS' WHITE ATTORNEY (Continued from page 1) tions most genial and improving, and any action by any member of the association which will either prevent such meeting in the future or else cause them to be held under other and different conditions than heretofore would be in the highest degree deplorable. "It is quite beyond my comprehension how anyone could have brought himself to advise Lewis as he has apparently been advised. The obvious thing to do, as it seems to me, would have been for anyone advising him, to say Lewis, as softly as might be, but yet with sufficient distinctness: 'It is evident that your membership in the association would be so distasteful as to make your attempted insistence thereupon not only undignified, but also at the expense of your self-respect; wherefore, the thing for you to do is very plainly to submit to the situation as gracefully as you may and relegate the incident to the past a spromptly as you may.'" If this suit terminates in favor of the "Pollyannas," the result will probably be that a large part of this money, given liberally out of race pride, at a time when race pride was really needed, will fall into the hands of this Negro-hating lawyer. COMMUNITY CENTRES The report of the Community Centers in the city schools, shows there were nine centres organized in the colored public schools, which had an attendance of 101,355 for the year. These nine centers were open 947 nights during the year, with eighty different attractions. The nine centers are Birney, Burrville, Deanwood, Dunbar, Garnet-Phelps, Lovejoy, Miner Normal, Randall, and West Washington. Mrs. Gabriele Pelham is in charge of the activities in the nine colored centers. Her report covers the complete activities of the year and is interesting reading. Most of the activities were conducted at Dunbar High centre. A notable event was that of the National Negro Press Association, which met there on March 1, for a three day session. Miss Hallie Q. Brown appeared in a joint program with the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The Public Health Service gave a series of lectures on Social Hygiene at all of the centres that attracted large crowds and rendered excellent service. A Nutrition Class was organized June 15, in charge of Miss York, a trained nurse, with an assistant. Parents brought their children to be weighed and measured. Proper diet and rest periods were prescribed to build up the child's efficiency and power of growth. A Baby Show was held at Garnett-Phelps center that attracted much interest and a large attendance. The Douglass Co-operative League was organized at the Garnet-Phelps center and it has developed into a progressive and commendable community effort. The Woman's Exchange is another community effort worthy of commendation. Much interest has been developed thru these centers for community betterment.
