The Washington Tribune Ask Pardon of 24th Infantrymen All the News That's Fit to Print Ask P ENROLLMENT IN SCHOOLS 19,787 First Week's Registration Breaks All Records for Attendance EVERY SCHOOL CROWDED Night School Teachers Appointed and Assigned. Transfers Made The total enrollment of the city schools registered 62,283, which not only breaks all records for "first week" enrollment but has passed the largest enrollment for last year. Of this number 19,787 are attending the colored schools. There are 42 school buildings and 742 teachers in the colored schools. The enrollment at the various schools Wednesday evening gave Miner Normal, 398; Dunbar High 1,471 (which is larger than its peak enrollment for last year, when there were 1,462 students there); Armstrong Manual Training, 832; Shaw Junior High, 387; Cordoza Vacational, 290; "O" Street Vocational, 379; Graded Schools—10th Division, 4,812; 11th Division, 4,710; 12th Division, 1,366; 13th Division, 5,142; making a total enrollment of 19,787. Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson when seen at his office in the Franklin building said to a Tribune reporter: "We are at a loss to place the exact responsibility for this unprecedented enrollment in the graded schools. There are three factors that contribute to it, we think. They are: the compulsory law; the lesson of unpreparedness, due to mental and physical unfitness, taught us by the recent war; and there must yet be migration from the South. Last year the rush was to the High Schools and Colleges; this year it is found in the grades. It is a commendable showing and proves that our people are awake to the responsibilities of citizenship and the advantages of an education." Night Schools At the Board Meeting Wednesday, announcement was made of the opening of the city's night schools on October 3, and the appointment of teachers and community center workers Full provisions were made for an eight months term for night schools.

ALLIANCE MEETS Resolutions Passed. Committees Appointed. Gets Down to Work The Ministers Alliance of Washington resumed their monthly meetings Monday at the Y. M. C. A. Many important items were considered. Rev. D. D. Turpeau called attention to "dollar hunting ministers" connected with some of the churches represented in the Alliance. This spirit of graft among the gentlemen of the cloth was denounced by the Alliance. The Alliance passed a resolution and appointed a committee to wait on District Commissioner Rudolph concerning representation on the Committee of One Hundred that is to have charge of the reception of the Disarmament Conference. This committee was composed of Revs. H. J. Callis, E. W. D. Jones, C. M. Tanner, A. J. Mitchell, D. D. Turpeau and W. A. Taylor. As to the appointment of six colored men on the Committee on One Hundred, which was announced last week, Rev. Callis said: "We represent the people of Washington and are responsible for their moral standing and the morals among them. When one wants to reach the people they must do it thru the churches. Therefore, we should not stand for this 'hand picked' representation as announced last week. Let us see Mr. Rudolph and find out why we are not represented." The following program was adopted for the next four months: On October 24, Rev. J. S. Carroll will address the Alliance; November 28, Rev. C. M. Tanner and Prof. G. C. Wilkinson; December 20, Rev. J. Milton Waldron; and January 23, 1922, Rev. C. J. Henderson. The various committees reported. The committee on public morals will report at the November meeting when Prof. Wilkinson will address the Alliance. Mrs. Williams of the Day Nursery appeared before the Alliance in the interest of that institution and was given moral support for her work. Rev. James Brown, of Anniston, Ala., pastor of the Congregational church in that city for 30 years, who has moved to Washington, joined the Alliance Monday. IMPERIAL CLOTHING CO. LOOTED AGAIN The Imperial Commercial Clothing Company was robbed Friday night of last week of about $100 worth of collars, shirts, caps and ties. On Monday night the same thief or a confederate broke in at the same window and took more than $300 worth of caps, silk socks, ties, cuff buttons, and shirts. The entrance was affected thru an upstairs window in the rear which was not barred with iron, as the windows on the ground floor are. The person or persons went into the office, secured a suit case, emptied the contents on the floor and packed it full of the above named articles. The case was reported to the Eighth precinct police headquarters but up to Friday no one had been apprehended for the theft. Mr. Harris, the manager said that he left a large light burning Monday night, which the thief turned out and performed his work unmolested. Nearly $500 was lost in the two nights' raid. ```markdown ``` WHITE SCHOOL REFUSES LOCAL BOYS ADMISSION The Sixth School so far to Deny Them Admission For the sixth time Messrs George and Jackson Robinson, sons of Mr. G. A. Robinson, treasurer of the Standard Investment Company; have been turned down by white schools to which they have applied for entrance as students. The latest experience was with Irving School at Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N.Y. Early in September young Robinson applied for entrance. On the 5th of September he received a letter stating that he would be received. They sent their statements from Dunbar High School of this city, which they attended last year. On the 15th of September they had another letter telling them that they would be received and to send their entrance fees. Mr. Robinson sent his check for $1,000 and under date of September 27, 1921 received this letter: "Enclosed please find acknowledgement for your check received as payment for first term board and tuition for your sons. "We are looking forward with much pleasure to having them as members of Irving School, and will do all possible to advance their interests"—signed by J. W. Furman, Headmaster. Mr. Robinson sent both of the boys Wednesday morning, thinking all was well now and he had at last found a school for the boys. Alas, it was not so. Thursday morning at two o'clock, George and Jackson were back at home. Irving School knew these young men were colored before they left Washington for a member of the faculty came here and interviewed the young men before even promising to accept them. Now why were they summarily sent back home is the question. Is it possible that the Ku Klux Klan has its tentacles into the school system of the North and East and is carrying out its plea of "white supremacy?" Or is it a sinister move of the General Educational Board to force all colored students out of the schools of the north? These are some of the questions that arise out of this situation. GETS MONEY LEFT IN OLD HOUSE Leaving her savings of a lifetime, amounting to $1,076.99, safely tucked away in bags, tin cans and old stockings, Mrs. Addie Murphy left her home in Washington last July, with her invalid daughter, for Roxbury, Mass., to live. A cat left behind, died of grief and the police officers were called in to locate odor coming from the house. Breaking in, they found the cat, the source of the offense. A search of the house was made. Tin cans were found with pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters and half dollars. Small bags and old stockings were found full of small coin. The whole amount was collected and carried to police headquarters, counted and placed in the vault awaiting its owner. Some one notified Mrs. Murphy and she returned to the city Monday. She went to a Miss Bertha Anders, who carried her to the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, the executive secretary of the local branch, went with the two women to police headquarters and was instrumental in assisting Mrs. Murphy to secure the whole amount of her money, which she had been saving to take her crippled daughter to John Hopkins Hospital for an operation. Mrs. Murphy says she will remain in Washington. ENROLLMENT AT HOWARD STARTS OFF WITH RUSH Medical and Law School begin Registration Today Enrollment for the fifty-fifth school year of Howard University began last Wednesday, Sept. 28th. The enrollment for the first day was 199, the second day 210, all of which however was for the College department. Enrollment for the Medical and Law schools began Saturday, Oct. 1st. From the number of applications and letters of inquiry already received by the University, the enrollment this year will equal or surpass last year's, which was the largest yet recorded. Many improvements in the way of increased facilities have been made on "The Hill" during the summer season and ample accommodations are assured all students. Work on the new Economics Building has already begun. A few changes in the faculty has been made. One of the latest additions was that of Prof. Burch, formerly of Wilberforce University. All Registration is supposed to be out of the way by Monday, when regular class sessions will begin.

Miss Coleman has been in Europe only ten months, leaving her home in Chicago last December. She is only 24 years old. MINISTERSACTIVE Call on Rudolph, Hoover and at White House in one day. The Committee appointed by the Ministers Alliance called on District Commissooner Rudolph Tuesday and asked for an increase in the number of colored people on the Committee of One Hundred that will have charge of the reception and entertainment of the members of the Disarmament Conference. They were informed by the Commissioner, that there were now more applications than could possibly be appointed on this Committee. His attention was called to the fact that one colored man appointed was not even in the country and Mr. Rudolph consented to consider the name of Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. The names of the colored members announced last week were as follows: Emmett J. Scott, James A. Cobb, Wm. L. Houston, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Dr. W. A. Warfield and Rev. D. A. Wiseman. The last named is now in Porto Rico. The Committee which was composed of Revs. H. J. Callis, E. W. D. Jones, C. M. Tanner, A. J. Mitchell, D. D. Turpeau and W. A. Taylor, went to the White House to ask that if there were to be military guards for the Disarmament Conference, that representative companies of colored troops be sent here to share in that duty. They were informed by the President's Secretary that the suggestion would be given due consideration, but that details had not been considered as yet. From the White House the Committee went to see Mr. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, concerning the appointment of colored representation at the Employment Conference now in session. Mr. Hoover was at the Cabinet Meeting. His secretary informed the Committee that he would take it up with the Organization Committee of the Conference and would inform the Alliance Committee after the next meeting of the Employment Organization Committee. PLAN TO IMPROVE CHURCH At the recent official board meeting of the Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church on 23rd Street between L and M Streets, it was agreed to remodel the present church building by adding in the rear and by purchasing two lots facing on L Street so that an entrance may be had from that street also. Dr. E. W. D. Jones, the pastor said: "We are putting on a building program here that will entail the spending of $17,000 which will not only beautify Union Wesley, but will give more room and added convenience in accommodating the increased membership both in church and the Sunday School." They have worked out a plan for financing this venture that is unique. Five hundred members have promised to pay $25.00 within 12 months. There are 22 clubs that have agreed to raise $5,000 in twelve months, which will make a total of $17,500. The success of this plan will save the church from borrowing money and paying the inevitable interest, and will place the patsor, Rev. Jones, in a class all his own. --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS DELEGATION CALL ON THE PRESIDENT DELEGATION CALL ON THE PRESIDENT Present to him Petition Bearing Over Fifty Thousand Names MOVEMENT WIDESPREAD Petition Widely Circulated by the National Association A delegation of leading colored men and women, headed by James Weldon Johnson, of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, bearing a petition signed by 50,000 persons, called on President Harding, Wednesday morning, asking him to pardon the 61 members of the 24th U. S. Infantry (colored) now serving long-time sentences in the Federal Prison of Fort Leavensworth, Kans., convicted of rioting at Houston Texas, in August 1917. The petition asked for pardon on three grounds as follows: "The petition, you will not, asks for your pardon on three grounds: first, the previous record for discipline, service and soldierly conduct of the 24th Infantry; second, the provocation of local animosity which manifested itself in insults, threats and acts of violence against colored soldiers; third, the heavy punishment meted out to members of the 24th Infantry of whom nineteen were hanged, thirteen of them summarily and without right of appeal to the Secretary of War or to the President, their Commander-in-Chief. This wholesale, unprecedented and almost clandestine execution shocked the entire country and appeared to the colored people to savor of vengeance rather than justice. Sixty-one members of the 24th Infantry are still in prison serving life and long time sentences." The petition calls the President's attention to the fact that none of the white rioters were ever punished. It says: "Moreover, although white citizens of Houston were involved in these riots and the regiment to which these men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but Negroes so far as we have been able to learn, have ever been prosecuted or punished. In consequence, the wholesale punishment meted out to these colored soldiers of their country bore the aspect of a visitation upon their color rather than upon their crime. The attention of colored people throughout the United States will be focussed upon the action which it may please you to take." And finally: "In consideration therefore of the almost five years already served in prison by the sixty-one men and of the foregoing facts, and because of the long record for bravery, discipline and soldierly conduct of this particular regiment, and in the name of the steadfast loyalty of the American Negro in every crisis of the nation, we bespeak your attention to the petition which we beg herewith to present to you." Mr. Johnson made following statement to a Tribune reporter: "Although nineteen colored soldiers were hanged and 61 sentenced to life and long-term imprisonment after the Houston riot of August, 1917, colored people in the United States felt little disposed to appeal for pardon and clemency for they realized such an appeal would be fruitless. "Now, however, under a changed administration, fifty thousand signatures have been appended to such a petition circulated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and colored Americans are looking to President Harding to (Continued on page 8) CARPET CLEANING The New and Better Way All the delicate colors and beautiful shades are instantly restored by our process.

The purpose of this demonstration is to bring to the attention of the American people the helpful part which each national and racial group has played in bring forward for the making of America the best products of its ingenuity and latest powers. The English, the Pole, the French, the Italian, the German, the Scandanavian, the Russian, the Negro, and others—thirty-two in all—will each prepare a prominent exhibit and present a pageant and musical festival to show what its main contribution to the making of America has been. It has been stated by some of the officials of the exhibition that the plans of the Negro group are among the best thus far compiled, and will do credit to the race and show the thousands of persons in attendance what great contributions the Negroes have made in music, literature, art, invention, labor and in hope in the face of discouragement. The Negro Committee of which James Weldon Johnson is president, will hold a great musical festival with 200 or more voices and an orchestra of 50 pieces which will present the only American folk music, and the modern musical creations of the distinguished composers of the race. Mrs. Daisy Tapley will direct the Chorus. Eugene Kinckle Jones is Chairman of the Executive Committee. There will also be a graphic exhibit showing what has been contributed in the other lines mentioned. President Harding and several Cabinet members, and Governor Miller of the State of New York, with his staff will be among the distinguished visitors present, and the Reception Committee will be composed of prominent representatives from each racial group participating. This is said to be one of the first occasions in America when Negroes have been welcome to participate in THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 URBAN LEAGUE CONFERENCE PLANS The National Urban League has released an announcement of subjects which will be discussed at its Annual Conference in Chicago which is to be held October 19th to 22nd. On Wednesday, October 19th some distinguished social worker will present a general statement of the most serious problems which the world is facing today. T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary of the Chicago Urban League will indicate how these problems are affecting the Negro in particular and tell what is being done in the city of Chicago to meet them. The afternoon and evening will be devoted to discussion on the subject of unemployment, and its extent and effect among Negroes. Urban League Industrial Secretaries will indicate what has been done in many cities of the middle west to create temporary or permanent jobs and to give relief to single men or women. Representatives from the U. S. Department of Labor will be present. On Thursday, in the morning, the delegates will discuss the subject: "Getting hold of the New-comer." It is thought by students of social problems that the new comer to our cities is still not reached in an effective manner, as there is still a considerable delay in his becoming adjusted to the stern requirements of competitive city life. During the Thursday afternoon and evening, discussion will be held on the Negro's relation to organized labor and the need of constructive social service in cities as exposed by recent investigations made north and south by C. S. Johnson, Director of the Urban League's Department of Research and Investigations and Jesse O. Thomas, Southern Field secretary. On Friday special reports will be made by Urban League Executives on how the League conducts its health education campaigns, its industrial program, its housing investigations, its recreational work with boys and girls, and its juvenile probation and all of the functions and demonstrations along with other groups and without discrimination. protective service. A discussion will be held of welfare work in connection with industrial plants through which Negroes may raise their living standard as well as develop and help increase production. Persons interested are requested to communicate with Eugene Kinclek Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City, or T.

NEWS BRIEFS Becoming entangled in the rope and harness of two horses which he was trying to save from drowning, Tom Barren was drowned in the Ogeechee canal near Savannah, Ga. The horses were saved. Congressman Herrick of Oklahoma has filed libel suits of $50,000 each against the New York World and the Daily Oklahoma of Oklahoma City for printing the picture of his chicken house and saying that he would take his bride there, if he could get one. Under the new 3 per cent Retroactive Immigration Law which took effect June 2 last, the gates of the United States have already been closed until June 30, 1922, to immigrants from Spain, Palestine, Turkey, Smyrna and other smaller sections of Asia. One more ship from Greece will probably complete her quota and Poland's quota will reach the maximum in December and Italy and Czech-Slovakia will possibly reach their 3 per cent in January. Approximately $1,000,000,000 was paid over to bootleggers for the various grades of alcoholic liquors the past year. Of this amount $35,000,000 of income tax was not collected by the Revenue department. This is supposed to be a Prohibition country, yet 25,000,000, gallons of liquor were consumed last year.

Millicent Ends a Feud ( © 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The night before my father died he called me to his bedside. He had become conscious at the end, after three months of speechless stupor, just as the doctor had anticipated. "Milly," he whispered, "when I am dead you will have enough to live upon. I want you to promise never to sell the old homestead." "I promise, my dear," I answered, and that was all. He seemed to have called himself back to life with one wild effort in order to get my promise. He died at four o'clock in the morning. "Of course, you'll sell now, Miss Street," my friends told me, and they laughed when I announced my intention of refusing. So did Mr. James' lawyer when he called on me a few days later. "Well, young lady," he said, setting down his hat and staring hard at me. "you can guess what I have called to see you about, I suppose?" "Perhaps," I answered enigmatically. "You know that for seven years Mr. James has been trying to get the Street homestead. The assessed value of your property is, I believe, four thousand dollars. Mr. James offers you fifteen thousand." "He rose from four thousand to fifteen thousand in seven years," I answered. "But I wouldn't sell it for a hundred thousand. In fact, I won't sell it at all. My father might have sold once, although the homestead was naturally dear to him. But when Mr. James began his persecutions—" "That was old Mr. James," interrupted the lawyer, frowning. "Mr. Cyprian James had, I admit, a vindictive nature. Mr. Harold James, however, is a fine gentleman. Mr. James is coming South to live, and wants your place for a shooting box." "No," I answered. "It isn't for sale." One morning a few days later I saw that a series of boards had been put up all around my little property in the night. I went down to look at them. There were ten in all, and each bore in large letters the words: "TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED." The road led from the garden through a mile of James land to Hicksville. A man was waiting at the gate of the garden, and I hadn't set foot outside before he came hurriedly forward. "I must ask you to go back," he said, taking off his hat respectfully. He seemed a gentleman, although he was dressed like a tramp. "You may not know that this is a private road. I must request that you step back upon your own territory." "Indeed, I shall do no such thing," I replied angrily. "I utterly defy you and your old road." I returned from town about an hour later. I was very lonely. I had written to a girl chum to come down from Richmond and stay with me until I had decided upon my plans, but I had never contemplated being marooned. What if that Wicked Harold James really meant to let me starve to death there? I wasn't too joyful when I awoke next morning. I looked out of the window. Close to the gate, tied to a short stake by a very long chain, was the most savage-looking bull I had ever seen. He had his head down, and as I approached the garden gate he gave one bellow and began to paw the ground furiously. I tried to compute the length of that chain. I saw that he could not reach the garden. Then I took heart again. The chain was too short. I could pass the bull with several feet to spare. I felt so infuriated that, as I passed the snorting monster, I snapped my fingers at it. Next instant, with a roar, the creature leaped at me. And then—well, for the first time in my life I fainted. I could not have been unconscious long, for when I opened my eyes the bull was feeding a short distance away, as peacefully as though it had never had thoughts of violence toward me. And the gamekeeper was bending over me, a look of agonized reproach upon his face. "I didn't mean to do it—indeed. I didn't," he was saying over and over again. Won't you forgive me? "I suppose you have to earn your wages," I answered curtly. "Are you-engaged?" inquired the man, paling. "What business is it of yours?" I demanded. "Because," he said, "I am Harold James." "I might have guessed it from your actions," I answered. And then Mr. Harold James suddenly caught hold of my hands. "Millicent," he said pleadingly, don't you remember how we used to be sweetheartes when we were at school together and how you promised some day to marry me? I've been crazy over you ever since. Millicent, may I have a chance to win you?" I could not help laughing. "You may call on me next Wednesday evening, after my friend, Miss Jones, gets here," I answered. Well, the Street homestead is still standing, and it will never be sold as long as I am alive. But it is used now mainly as a shooting box, for the James mansion is so much more convenient and comfortable. WORD "GENTLEMAN." FRENCH critic, discussing the recent famous battle for the boxing championship of the world, expressed surprise that so many Americans should have favored the challenger from abroad. Perhaps if he had stopped to think for a moment he would have realized that, after all, this is in the true sporting spirit. That spirit is at times hard to cultivate. It is natural for a city to want its home team to win in baseball, and for a college to wish to see its young giants sweep all before them on the diamond, the links and the gridiron. "To have and to hold" is the motto of national or international sport from yachting to polo. It is reasonable for a nation not to wish to lose any championship once it has obtained it. Various explanations have been given of the popularity of Carpentier, the best small man who stood up to the best big man in their business in the world today. A ray of light is thrown on the matter by a word that was used by several experts in describing the affair. They said that the Frenchman fought like a gentleman and lost like one. This involved no reflection on the champion, because nothing of an "ungentlemanly" nature was done by anybody on the memorable occasion in question. The interesting thing is the use of the word "gentleman." It is an expression that Americans have been shy of from the earliest days, partly because it conveyed a suggestion of class distinction in a country that has no "classes" and partly because the word was hard to define even in countries where it was in common use. There is no doubt that in the strictest sense of the expression, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were "gentlemen." Yet there can be equally little doubt that the first would have corrected anybody who defined him in that way by saying that he was a soldier, while the other illustrious two would have preferred to be called statesmen. As for Benjamin Franklin, if anybody had called him a gentleman, he would have remarked probably that he preferred to be a printer. Daniel Webster was entertained at the Jockey club in Richmond on a famous occasion. He surprised his hosts by saying that, though born in New Hampshire and a senator from Massachusetts, he could give three good reasons why he could claim to be a "Southern Gentleman." And he gave these amid a storm of laughter. In fact, it is only in the army and the navy that the word "gentleman" survives in a technical sense. For "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" is the ground for one of the most serious charges that can be brought against anybody who holds a commission. --- The great John Henry Newman, afterwards cardinal, in discussing "the idea of a university" gave a considerable part of his time to the effort to define a "gentleman." He, of course, had no more sympathy than any American would have with the view, not uncommon in parts of Europe, that a "gentleman" is a man who has no profession or business; who has nothing to do but nothing. In olden days a "gentleman" was supposed to be like Bayard, "without fear and without reproach; kind to women and children; gentle in peace and careless of his own safety when duty called him." It is an interesting thing to find the word used in the case of a professional boxer. Shrewd Traveler. An Englishman traveled from Petrograd to Moscow with no other passport than an English tailor's receipted bill. This document of identification laid a big printed heading with the name of the tailor, some English postage stamps attached and a flourishing signature in red ink. He flaunted the document in the face of the officials, assuring them it was a diplomatic passport issued by the British embassy.

The old Negro, after a hard day's work, was sound asleep. There was a knock at his door, and the door was forced. A white man, a stranger to him ap- peared. He did not disclose his official capacity. He did not show his war- rant. So the old Negro, suddenly awakened from a very sound sleep after a hard day's work, thought him to be a midnight marauder. With the natural instinct’ of a man, he jumped from his bed and ran toward the cor- ner of his cabin where his gun al- ways stood, to be on the defensive against what he supposed to be a mid- night marauder who had come there, perhaps, to rob him or do him per- sonal harm. He had a right to do this. ‘The Senator from Kentucky would have done it, ‘The Senator from South Dakota would have done it. I, I hope, would have done it. “Without disclosing his character as an officer, this white man immed- iately dréw his automatic revolver and shot the old Negro to death. His face fell upon his own hearthstone. The pretense upon which he was killed was that he was a distiller. It turned out afterwards that he was no distiller and had no connection with any dis- tillery. 3 “What was done with this man who murdered the old Negro in his hum- ble home at midnight? The federal court threw its shield over him, threw its protection around him, and he was not even fined for breaking down the dor of the Negro man’s cabin.” Former Washingtonians Making ‘1000 ‘Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bolden, the only colored family in the town of Darien, Conn., a rich settlement, are surely making good. They are the proprie- tors of The Home Hand Laundry, employing eight women and two men. ‘They have their own auto-truck and horse and wagon. They purchased about a year ago a home on Railroad ‘Ave., and have had it fitted up as a modern laundry. ‘Aside from this, their little seven room dwelling house is about a mile from the laundry, and there they raise chickens and hogs and keep the weal- thy neighbors supplied with fresh eggs, broilers, and real sugar-cured “hams.

LETTERS TO EDITOR The Washington Tribune: I have given much consideration to the manner in which you have been conducting business enterprises in the city of Washington. From thorough ‘observation, I have found you to be ‘interested in business, not only from ‘the standpoint of gain and profit, but you have shown special interest along ‘those lines that safeguard the honor and pride of the race. Permit me, then, to congratulate you upon the stand that you have taken; especially at a time when we are so much oppressed, socially, phys- ‘ically, and economically, by those of ‘the other race who are prejudiced against us, and by those of our own [race who.can be bought and sold for |a dollar, a car ride and a smile. I am sure I express the sentiment ‘of the loyal race-loving Negroes of Washington when I say the colored citizens are ready and will stand by every colored enterprise that tends to promote the interests of our race. ‘May I add, that we will not stand by, aid or promote any enterprise, fos- tered by men who show prejudice to- ward us, segregate, jim-crow or ex- ploit us. ‘The young men and women of Washington will do justice to them- selves and honor to their race. when they come together and organize a business protective league, which will have among its many objects a plan to infuse the spirit of race pride in business and another one to teach the colored patrons how to keep colored enterprises from being exploited by white men of greater means and those who segregate us, cheat us and pro- hibit us from patronizing their best eating places and theatres. A third object is to exclude from their patron- age list any Negro who manages or conduets business of any kind, for a white man, whose purpose is to ex- ploit or undersell at the expense of our race. Within the last few years, there have sprung up colored businesses of all kinds. Their existence is the re- sult of great sacrifice on the part of loyal colored people. Then, why should not we as young men and wom- en institute plans and organize to maintain, support and enlarge these barber shops, shoeshine parlors, beau- ty parlors, recreation houses, amuse- | ment places, theatres, dining rooms, hotels, bakeries, drygoods stores, gro- cery stores, jewelry shops, printing hope, banks ate. all of which are to be used as stones in that @reat struc- ture which is to shelter us as a race. If we are to be a great and powerful race, it will be when we are conjoined in purpose and in action. Then may I, through this letter of felicitation to you, appeal to all true race loving citizens to watch the moves of those who seek to betray us to those who would exploit our field of opportunity and oppress us below the dignity of a free people. I am faithfully yours, GEIKIE M.

CRUCIAL GAME TO BE PLAYED SUNDAY The Post Series games are now in full swing and will probably be completed within another week. The race is tight; almost any team having a good chance to win out. At present Deanwood A. C. team is leading the league, having won two and lost none. The best games of the whole series are scheduled for Sunday on the Plaza grounds in front of the Union Station, at 11 and 1 o'clock, when the Deanwood team plays a double header with the Athletics and St. Cyprians. Should Deanwood win both of these games, they will win the championship; however should they lose to the Athletics and win from the St. Cyprians, and the Athletics lose one of their remaining games, the two teams will tie for first honors. An exceptionally large crowd is expected to see both of these games Sunday because of their importance. The St. Cyprians have a chance of tieing by winning all their remaining games, provided the Athletics lose one. Beyond a doubt, the series has reached the crucial state. DEANWOOD DEFEATS ANDREWS (By E. Jones) In defeating the R. P.

Miller has sold his share of stock in the play, "Put and Take," but is still with the show as an employee. Two of the stand out performers with "Put and Take" are Florence Parham and Maxie. I wonder is it possible to do away with the noisy element that attend the local playhouses, who seem to come to the theatre to annoy others with their attempt at comedy and with supposed "smart" remarks to the performers on the stage.

Jones) The Washington Athletics not only scored twelve runs but completely shut out the St. Cyprians team on the Christ-Child diamond last Sunday morning in the Post Series. This was a play-over game from the Sunday preceding. Not a St. Cyprian player reached third. Wilson and Slade working for the Athletics, each allowed only one hit, while Harris and Lucas were nicked for eleven. "Ben" Fells, out of five times up, hit 2 home runs and walked twice. "Ben" also pulled a clever piece of baseball when stealing second in the sixth with Wilson on third and two out. Greenfield threw perfectly to second; "Ben" stopped and was caught in the run down, but only after Wilson had scored. y October 3rd Saturday A instrel Monopoly Novelties Fnnny Afterpiece oon Prices: Mat. 25c Nite, 35, 50, 75c SPC Box score: W.

UNION WESLEY WINS PENNANT The Christian Endeavorers' Baseball League closed its season September 17th. For the second time, after one of the hottest races, which was not decided until the last inning of play, Union Wesley copped the banner. The deciding game was a thriller, keeping the rooters trembling with excitement, as first one team and then the other momentarily held the lead. First Baptist made an auspicious start. Sutton, who was being subjected to a merciless razzing by the Union Wesleyites, blasted out a triple after being put two in the hole. He scored on a single by Cruser. The yells of the Georgetown partisans must have sounded to the hills. Rinkett, of First Baptist, who was standing beside the Reverend Mr. Jones, of U. W. got a chair. The one run margin was good for two innings; then, in order to make themselves safe the West Washington boys secured two more on some fancy base running and heavy swatting by Harris, Cruser and Randin. Mr. Pinkett sat down. With the score 3-0 against them and the dark fast coming on, the cause of Union Wesley seemed lost. Then, as sudden as a flash from detonated dynamite, things began to happen; U. W. pounded out three hits, scored one run; a pass filled the sacks. Pitcher Jerry hit to the G. T. short-stop but in the confusion that resulted from everybody trying to get the ball, the runner on third made it home. Franklin then settled down and prevented any more damage. The count was now 3-2, Georgetown still ahead. The West Side Boys dusted the air with their bats, letting a double go to waste. U. W. came up for their last chance. Desperation was stamped deep upon their faces. Where is Roderick now? Pinkett stood in the fast gathering gloom, wishing for Blucher or for night. Franklin wound up, there was a crack as solemn as the boom of the minute gun, a mad scramble and Williams pulled up at second. Manager Walker of U. W. yanked at his galluses, pulled his trousers up over his stomach, and said something to the Reverend. Hits came thick and fast; Fells, Anderson, Ricks, Lewis, all crossed the pan, darkness put an end to further scoring. Final, Union Wesley 6. First Baptist 3. Scorers: Watson and Smith. Umpires: Parker and Robinson. Correction-In the reports of the games last week at the Suburban Gardens, the person who is named as Charles Robinson in the account, knows himself as James Matthew Robinson HAMPTON BEGINS FOOTBALL PRACTICE Hampton, Va., Sept. 10—The first call for football practice at Hampton Institute on the opening day of school, brought out a big, enthusiastic squad, composed largely of new men, as most of last year's team was lost through graduation. The opening game of the season will be played with St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, of Lawrenceville, Va., on the hampton gridiron on Saturday afternoon, October 8. Hampton's schedule follows: St. Paul, at Hampton, October 8; Shaw University, in Raleigh, October 22; Petersburg, at Hampton, October 29; Lincoln University, in Lincoln, Pa., November 5; Howard University, at Hampton, November 12; Virginia Union, in Richmond, Thanksgiving Day, November 24. Gideon E. Smith, Hampton '10 and Michigan Agricultural College '16, has been added to the Hampton staff of physical education. He made a phenomenal record as a football player at M. A. C. and won the All-Western Tackle in 1915. He has also met with success as football coach of West Virginia Collegiate Institute and V. N. I. I., Petersburg, Va. With the addition of Mr. Smith to the Hampton coaching staff, great things are looked for this season. The big game of the season will be with Howard University on Hampton's campus, Saturday, November 12. The Hampton-Howard games have been known for their great sportsmanship and wonderful playing. Plans are being perfected to make this one of the greatest games ever played between the two institutions. The local enthusiasts are looking forward already to the Hampton-Howard game. COACH MORRISON DRIVING HARD FOR FIRST GAME The Howard Football Squad has had its first week of workouts. The rigorous training which the men underwent the first week has driven off all undesirables and has left a squad which gives Coach Morison an indication of just what he may expect for the year. At present the Coach is noncommittal as to what he thinks of the prospects. The big problem seems to be the replacing of the men lost by graduation. While most of the remaining "H" men of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year's star pilot, who is yet expected to return, Brannon, Hurt, and Lawrence is keenly felt. Kean, who followed close to Carter as quarterback last year, has just showed up for practice. Practice will take an earnest angle the coming week in preparation for the first game of the season to be played October 8, at Lynchburg, Virginia, against Virginia Theological Seminary and College. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY TO HAVE CRACK FOOTTRAIL TEA Wilberforce, this year more than ever before, looms as a big contender for the national football honors among Colored Colleges. The wearers of the gold and green have been practicing for nearly a month and will play their first game Monday, October 3rd, at Wilberforce. The team this year is coached by one of the greatest stars in the game, L. W. Taylor of Oberlin College. For two years straight, Taylor was selected unanimously for the All-Ohio Collegiate Conference Eleven. As a fullback, Taylor is rated exceptionally high. The sporting Editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star stated on November 30, 1919, that "Taylor of Oberlin is the best backfield man, excepting Chic Harley developed in Ohio in many years." Head Coach Taylor has as his assistant, Rudolph Ash of the University of Michigan, who is also rated as a great player. Already 44 men have answered Coach Taylor's roll call, with about Advertise in TheTribune Instruction Given in Dressmaking and Designing The Self-Fitting System FALL TERM BEGINS OCT. 4, 1921 Mrs. NANNIE J.

ROUGH SAILING AT HOWARD ROUGH SAILING AT HOWARD Owing to a bit of misunderstanding in some department of the Frank Montgomery aggregation, the week's offering at the Howard was a pitiful affair and we herewith extend our sympathy to those who were embarrassed. Last week, "Hello 1921" was heralded far and near, but after we had made ourselves comfortable and were all ready to witness the "Hello" show, we were handed, according to the programs, a "Broadway Rounders" show, which was a fair entertainment, but it was not what was expected. A fair week's business was done. This week, "Broadway Rounders" was advertised but words fail me when I attempt to describe what we really did get. But whatever you might term it, the patrons were very liberal with their expressions of utter disgust at the "made over night" offering. It was a "hound." According to reports, there was a misshipment of the music that was intended for this wee's show, hence the "bum-foozle." In the light of all that happened, much credit is due the versatile members of the cast, who did their "darnest" to keep us awake (but many went fast asleep). Especial mention is made of the excellent work of Leon Diggs, Johnnie Vigal, Margaret Scott, and Sammy Gray. Wells and Wells and Chinee Walker, performers of high type were given excellent spots last week, but we were denied the privilege of seeing them to an advantage this week. Much credit is due Miss Blanche Walton the capable musical director, who, on several occasions, smoothed out several critical situations that would have otherwise gone completely "kerflop." It was indeed an unfortunate affair, Frank. Come again, but whatever you do, don't bring us another one of those "You Gonna' Git Sumpin' Dat You Don't Expect" shows. Washington won't hold still for that kind of stuff. Address Payne, 625 Catherine St. Detroit, Mich., and for Jackson, write to Chas. Robertson, manager, 316 N.

HAYES |] lived the life the missionaries tau GOING TO AFRICA TO COLLECT |him, and put its sentiment into MORE—“LET MY,\PEOPLE GO” | songs. c The following comment, a clipping from The London Observer of recent date, speaks for itself. The career of Mr. Hayes is being watched with growing interest, especially since he was soloist before the King and Queen and was recently dined by the famous Melba, in company with Fritz Kreis- ler, noted violinist and others. We quote The Observer as follows: “Mr. Roland Hayes the Negro tenor, who sings with equal felicity and ease arias from Grand Opera and the folk songs of his own people, was once asked by an American admirer, after a concert in California, what it was that made him as fine an artist as any he had ever heard, and yet in some remarkable way made him en- tirely different from all the others. ‘The question baffled him for the mo- ment. ‘Then I thought’ he said yes- terday, discussing his career and the songs of his people ‘that perhaps it was something that has been handed down to me from antiquity by my forefathers. I came to the conclusion that this is exactly what it is that makes me sing differently from others. Whilst I have been assimilating the white man’s methods I have also de- veloped gifts that were peculiarly my own people’s, and it was that that made people want to listen to me.’ “An English critic has saig that it is the soul of his race which sings through Mr. Hayes in the childlike yet tragic ‘spirituals’ which he gives in his programmes—sings of barbari ties committed and endured, and of « faith running like gold thread thru the gloomy web of wrongs. Mr Hayes is deeply interested in these folk songs. ‘They are songs,’ he said ‘that the world at large knows no- thing at all about, and I consider that it is my special work to develop them All are saturated with African inflv- ence and rhythm, and in a few months time I am going to Africa to trace them, if possible, to their source, an¢ to collect fragments that have not ye been developed into complete songs The songs of my people have just the same verse ‘and chorus form as the African, only they are more extended America has enabled the African t say a good deal more than he cou say in his own country.’ Not a Word of Hate “The most striking thing abou' these songs is that, though they com down to us from the days of slavery and are often .the expression of it hard conditions, yet they contain n¢ sense of morbidity, nothing in the wa} of bitterness, not a word of hatred It is all praise and adoration of th Almighty. The slave did not take am: account in his songs of his physica sufferings. Sufficient for him was i that God had promised to all who suf fered in this world an eternal life i the next.

They dared not sing of their own freedom, but as long as they sang of it in the terms ‘of the Israelites it did not matter; ‘their masters only thought they were singing words from the Bible. ‘But all the Negroes,’ Mr. Hayes said, ‘understood it to mean themselves.’ ? ‘At the back of all their songs,’ Mr. Hayes said, ‘is the wonderful faith of the people, a faith as strong as steel. It was their faith, I verily believe, assisted by the prayers of the white people, that at last brought theif deliverance.’ Ancestry of Slaves “Mr. Hayes’ own ancestors were slaves. Though he is himself still a young man he can remember seeing the man who had owned his mother. Until he was fifteen he lived on a farm in Georgia. ‘Then, he said, ‘my mother felt that her children ought to have the advantage of an educa- tion which she herself was denied.’ So he and an elder brother—were sent to the nearest city, and took it in turns to spend a year at school and a year in an iron foundry. This sys- tem lasted four years, when he was persuaded to take some music lessons. “1 had no idea at that time,’ he said, ‘that I had a voice of any con- sequence, but the knowledge of my gift was then awakened, and I gave up work and went to the Fisk Uni- versity at Nashville, ‘Termessee, the home of the Fisk Jubilee singers, band of Negroes who came to England to sing before Queen Victoria, and there I studied music and literary subjects for four years’ “Afterwards he went to Boston with a band of Fisk singers to sing at a great misisonary meeting called ‘The World in Boston’ ‘During that pe- riod,’ he said, ‘I looked round for a music teacher, and I succeeded in finding one of the best vocal teachers in America, Mr. Arthur J. Hubbard. I studied with him from the year 1911 to 1920. He really prepared me for the work I am doing now, for besides developing the folk songs of the Ne- gro people I am interpreting the clas- sic songs of the various foreign schools.” “Mr. Hayes’ next engagements in London are at Wignore Hall on Sep- tember 24 and November 11, and at |the Promenade Concerts at Queen’ ‘Hall on September 8 and October 4.” ma Bacchus of Lynchburg, Va.; Miss Ruth Weatherless of Washington; Miss and Mrs. Martin and the Misses Austin of Oklahoma. | ‘The Membership Social for Septem- ber was well attended and all were glad to greet home comers.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 B j d THE RIGHT THIN “DUSINESS ali a m ( THE RIGHT TIM OMMELCE |} a, nanvwansuats pvr ONE-MAN BUSINESS SBOUT INTRODUOC' The man who conducts business on his sole responsibility and for his sole profit represents business in its sim- plest form. He represents one of the types in which business is organized; and this form is not a complicated ‘one, since income, risk and control are all centered in him. Most of the busi- ness that is being carried on by our group is of this one-man variety and therefore, cannot reach the magnitude and success of the more modern in- corporated organizations. In theory, any one has the right to conduct any kind of legitimate busi- ness enterprise that he may desire. However, there are state restrictions known as “police power” which aim to superivse and regulate those forms of business which are connected with public welfare. In certain forms of business, such as pool rooms, cafes, hotels, and theatres, the state pro- tects public morals by requiring such places to take out licenses which may be revoked at any time that the pro- prietor fails to comply with the law. The one-man type of business has its advantages and also its disadvan- tages, which have led to its adoption or rejection by those about to engage in business enterprise. Two heads are better than one; but on the other hand, too many cooks spoil the broth. In emergencies, the individual can act quickly and decisively. He can enter a lucrative side line or auxiliary occupation where he deems it neces- sary. The struggle for existence is se- vere and soon proves the individual's ability to move forward or give up his business and go for a job. The one-man business has the advantage of that personal contact with his customers that “chain” business or corporations cannot hope for. Possi- bly the greatest disadvantage of in- dividual proprietorship is that it is limited to the life the individual. Moreover, an individual’s credit is limited. His eggs are all in one bas- ‘ket. Hence the future of the one-man ‘business will be confined to smaller pioneer enterprises and those depend- ‘ing on skill rather than aggregated oun PRIDE’S PHARMACY Pride's Pharmacy, at the corner of P and 28th streets northwest, is the third oldest drug store in Washington, owned by colored people. Dr. A. T. Pride, the proprietor, graduated from Howard University in 1893. He se- cured a position, as Pharmacist, with Dr. Murray, who was then and is now running a drug store in the southwest section of the city. After a year and a half with Dr. Murray, Dr. Pride de- cided to launch out for himself. He went over to Georgetown and opened his first store at the corner of 28th and Dumbarton Avenue. After three years, he moved to his present loca- tion. Dr. Pride has succeeded in George- town, There have been three other ‘drug stores opened in Georgetown ‘since Dr. Pride entered the business in ‘that section of the city, but the Pride Pharmacy is the first and only one in ‘that section now He has a stock of ‘more than $5,000 and does a eredita- ‘ble business of about $20,000 a year. ‘Dr. Pride is married and has a boy in ‘the Dunbar High School. While the Pride Pharmacy is loca- ted in the colored section, Dr. Pride’s diplomacy and service has attracted a trade that will split about fifty-fifty. WATERS’ CONFECTIONERY The Waters’ Confectionery at the corner of 28th and Dumbarton streets was opened in May, under new man- agement. N. R. Waters purchased the business from Mr. Tipton, Mr. Waters has a position with the Gov- ernment in the printing office, but felt that he would like to enter the com- mercial field and found Mr. Tipton de- sired to retire, purchased this place. ‘The venture has proven a succegsful one. Mrs. Waters, who is Reyes ployed as a teacher in the Phillips school, finds it pleasant employment to assist her husband during her va- cation. Candy, cigars, ice cream and soft drinks are the principal articles of the Waters Confectionery, along with newspapers and magazines. They have recently added the famous Brooks made, “Log Cabin Sweets” to their candy department and find in- creased sales as the result. The Reconnaisance Francasaise, a bronze medal was awarded to Dr. Har- riett A. Rice, by the French Govern- m ent, for her services in French Mili- tary ‘hospitals during the war. Dr. Rice is a graduate of Wellesley College and the Woman's Medical college of New York; she lives in Newport R. I. Because Mrs. Henrietta Claggett caused Samuel Jones to lose his job, he attacked her with a corn knife, in- flicting wounds for which he was sen- tenced at Frederick, Md., for five years in the Maryland Penitentiary.

J ,BOUT INTRODUCTIONS ‘We are more sensible of what is done against custom than against nature— Plutarch, 0 ONE has any good excuse for N not being able to make intro- auctions easily and in good form. It is simply a matter of knowing the right form and then in a little prac- tiee. It is an act that requires no originality and no special talent. But there are a lot of people neverthe- less, who always do bungle an intro- duction, and this for the simple reason that they do not give the subject suf- ficient thought or do not trouble themselves to look up the right way to do it. ‘The other day I observed a stalwart young corporal, proud to have his cheery-faced little mother visiting him, and eager to introduce her .to his friends. “Mother, meet Sergeant Jones,” he sald as one of his friends approached, and again, “Smith, know my mother.” ‘To be sure this answered the pur- pose and as every one was very happy on the occasion it probably didn't make much difference how the intro- duction was made, But the form was far from courteous, In the first place a man should al- ways present or introduce his men friends to his mother, or any other woman, and he should use a form of introduction that shows that he ts making the introduction in this way. Moreover the abrupt manner of say- ing simply, “Meet Mr. Brown,” or “Know my friend Jones,” which has recently become so popular is really too abrupt to be in good form for any purpose save possibly for men to tn- troduce men to each other in a pure- ly business connection. It should never be used in Introducing women. ‘The right way for the young soldier to have gone about it would have been to say, “Mother, I want to pre- sent Sergeant Jones.” “Jones,” this 1s my mother,” or “Let me introduce Sergeant Jones to you, mother; Ser- geant Jones I wish to present you to my mother.” In a case like this It fs not necessary to give the mother’s name, The only occasion where It would be, would be In the case the mother, through remarriage, bore @ name different from the one of the son who introduced her, (Copyright) PORO BEAUTY PARLOR 1223 7th St., N.

Every House Numbered in India. Numbering houses is an important preliminary to census-taking in Indla. Nearly 12 months in advance of the census date all the villages in the em- pire are scheduled, and every house fs numbered. In some provinces the census authorities determine in ad- vance the size of the number and specify the proportion of red ochre ‘and oll, or other ingredients, forming the substance with which the number 1s to be painted. Racial prejudices have to be con- sidered. In Hyderabad objection js made to tar because of the color, whils in other districts the natives consides red ochre unlucky, and if it i» used they erase the figures, In the case of huts made of leaves, and also when objection 1s made on account of caste restrictions to the numbering of houses by enumerators, the numbers are painted on bits of tin, tiles, or pots, ‘and are usually treated with great respect by the natives.

Thus does Norma Talmadge, the bewitching little motion picture star, describe that gentle art whose use has been in vogue ever since man could speak and woman would listen. "Flattery has toppled thrones, changed history, separated thousands of happy couples, peopled the underworld and divided kingdoms," continues Miss Talmadge. "Nor is it an art exclusively used by mere man. Women have used it with telling effect as witness the wily Cleopatra and other professional royal flatterers." In the case of flattery we can reverse Kipling's famous lines—"The female of the species is more deadly than the male"—a man capable of saying pretty things in a pleasing way can easily mould to his desire most any susceptible woman or girl. And it is this same theme that makes "Yes or No?" Miss Talmadge's latest photoplay, a First National attraction instructive as well as entertaining. In it the audience is shown the male flatterer at his deadly work both in the home of wealth and the humbler tenement—it shows the male vamp in evening clothes and the pursuer in livery—both deadly and dangerous. It graphically describes how two women in diametrically opposite stations of life accept the attentions of this despicable type of man. This picturization of a subject vitally interesting to all women will be shown at the Dunbar Friday and Saturday. "MY LADY'S LATCH KEY" (Synopsis of the Story) Aboard the ocean greyhound, "Monarchic," Europe bound, Ruthven Smith, the trusted international representative of a big diamond merchant, is guarding a rare collection of gems on their way to London. In the stillness of the night a shadowy figure mysteriously enters Smith's stateroom and after applying chloroform to the sleeper's nose, departs with the precious jewel belt. In London Annesley Gayle, grown tired of a drab five years' existence spent in a house of gloom, with her aunt, Mrs. Ellsworth, has just answered a newspaper ad for a traveling companion to an elderly lady, and is hopeful of breaking away from her present monotonous life.

The spectacle of a man fighting to save a girl from the flood. That is just one of the breath-snatching thrills of "Colorado," the Universal photodrama which comes to the Dunbar Theatre on Sunday with Frank Mayo in the starring role and as the heroine in this film version of beautiful Gloria Hope playing opposite the famous stage play of the same name by Augustus Thomas. "Colorado" carries the spectator over burning desert sands to a desolate ranch where Mayo, as Frank Austin, finds an oasis of love and, incidentally, a gold mine. How he saves the mine from the same men who are keeping him from the girl he loves is another high light of drama which Reeves Eason, the director, has flashed to the screen with striking realism. Closely following the release of "Honor Bound" and "Tiger True," "Colorado" is said by those who have seen it, to be faster in action and even more romantic than these two recent plays in which the vigorous Mayo scored so emphatically. In sharp contrast to the gentle and appealing Gloria Hope, who appears as the sweetheart of the hero, there is to be seen Charles LeMoyne, playing the crafty liberty; Rosa Gore and Dan Crimmins in amusing character roles; Lillian West and Charles Newton as an interesting couple of the West and popular Leonard Clapham in the guise of a shifty land-grabber. The splendid cast gives added zest to the film story and promises an unusual popularity for the run of this feature. WHAT KIND OF MEN DO WOMEN MOST ADMIRE?—FLATTERER OR TRUTHFUL Norma Talmadge, Motion Picture Star Has Some Interesting Things to Say. ```markdown ``` THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 Give Us A Trial by a young man, ostensibly an American and who, in apparent trouble, begs Annesley to save him by pretending to be his wife. She is astounded at this proposal but the man's distress appears so great that she decides to help him, and agrees. Later after two men have threatened the young man who gives him name as Nelson Smith, the two young people go to Annesley's home, which, by a coincidence, is also the London home of Ruthven Smith. The latter, thinking that Nelson is another robber, fires point blank at him. The whole affair so enrages Mrs. Ellsworth that she orders Annesley out of the house, whereupon Nelson declares his love for Annesley, who is so bewildered by Nelson's protestations of love that she accepts him. During the progress of a ball after ven Smith, commenting on the dia-Annesley and Nelson are married, Ruthmond robbers, speaks of a blue diamond that was stolen. He demands to see the blue diamond that Nelson has given his wife. To the girl's horror she finds that Nelson is the jewel thief and is about to give him up to justice, when she overhears his declaration to the thieving gang that he is through with all crookedness. Convinced of his good intentions, she clings to him. The Countess de Santiago, in love with Nelson Smith and jealous of Annesley, suddenly whips out a gun and tries to shoot Annesley, whose life is miraculously saved by the intervention of her husband. At the Dunbar on Wednesday and Thursday. "HERBERT'S GREATER MINSTRELS" For the amusement loving public there is a treat in store that is a novelty, due to the fact that the entire performance is given by genuine colored talent and of the very highest order of excellence; this organization is composed of the pick of colored vaudeville, circus, chautauqua; musical comedy and minstrel performers, all corralled under the banner which is known as "Herbert's Greater Minstrels."

Of all the places for "spooning", among the young people, New Jersey Avenue and other streets it seems should be the last places for them to select. It matters not that they are strelling along instead of sitting. If the teachers, school officials and parents desire to see their High School students, enjoying themselves apparently to their heart's content they should visit New Jersey Avenue, from "P" street North to Florida Avenue, about three o'clock any afternoon. There they will find out how well some students and children are trained. There they will observe our young people, the men and women of tomorrow, strolling along apparently without a thot of the future consequences of their present thoughtless and perilous actions. The Tribune calls the attention of the parents to this unwholesome condition existing at the very beginning of this school term, so that they may co-operate with the teachers and school officials in remedying this situation. The Tribune has sounded the alarm. Will the parents and teachers heed the warning? LOOK FROM A WINDOW. LOOK from your window on the world. And you will understand Not purposeless mankind was hurled Upon the fertile land, Will think no more from chaos whirled This planet was unplanned. Look from a window, window high, And see the thing complete; Inside one house your soul will die—Behold the house, the street, Behold the town, the lands that lie Stretched out before your feet. Your eaves touch other eaves, and they With other eaves combine— A block, a mile, they stretch away, A great unbroken line, Look from your window on mankind, A man and not a mole. Look outward, friend, and you will find Each soul a kindred soul. (Copyright.) THE GIRL ON THE JOB How to Succeed—How to Get Ahead—How to Make Good BY JESSIE ROBERTS FARM OPPORTUNITIES I AM constantly in receipt of letters from women tired of office work who ask what chance they would have in investing their savings in a small farm. They want a home, they want to be their own masters, they long for the country after years of confining labor at a desk. Success in farming requires training and experience as well as a wish for that type of work. A good business training and initiative are excellent as stock in trade, but there should be more than that. Farming is no easy job. Two young women tell me that they are making money with a small sheep farm. There is plenty of demand both for the wool and the meat. But these two women also run an aplary, marketing their honey, in a distinctive package. It is the finest honey, and they charge a high price for it. They have worked up a trade with a list of private purchasers, and sell through the mail. The thing is to have only the very highest class of produce, to charge high for it, to put it into attractive and striking packages that are an advertisement in themselves, and to sell direct to the consumer. With the parcel post this is possible. We find it better to specialize in several things rather than in one. Establish a market for one of your items and you establish it for all. This sounds like good talk, and I recommend it to my readers who may be thinking of turning to the farm as a source of income.

FOR those who enjoy hot cakes and gems for breakfast, the following recipe will be one to try: Mix and sift one cupful of flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, seven-eighths of a cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of butter, and two eggs. Beat the batter with a Dover egg beater until light. Pour into deep hissing-hot iron gem pans well greased and bake in a hot oven for thirty minutes. If baked in buttered earthen cups the popovers will have a glazed appearance. Sift one cupful of flour with one teaspoonful of powdered sugar and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Add two-thirds of a cupful of water, beating constantly. Add one-half tablespoonful of olive oil and the white of one egg beaten stiff. Core and pare tart apples, sprinkle with lemon juices, dredge with sugar and let stand half an hour. Dip in fritter batter and fry in deep fat. Serve with lemon sauce. Break one egg into a bowl, add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Add flour, stirring until the mixture will take no more. Turn on to a floured board, divide into three parts and roll as thin as possible. Cut into narrow strips or squares and fry in deep hot fat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon. Mix and sift together one cupful of flour and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Add two-thirds of a cupful of milk gradually, and two eggs beaten thick, one tablespoonful of olive oil and the whites of the eggs folded in after being beaten stiff. Bananas cut in quarters, sprinkled with lemon and sugar, let stand half an hour, then dipped in the batter and cooked as the apple fritters, are delicious. In fact any fruit may be used for fritters.

URBAN LEAGUE DISCUSSES EMPLOYMENT Much interest centers around the plan of the Urban League to discuss Unemployment among Negroes at its Conference in Chicago, October 19th to 22nd. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation of the United States Department of Labor will discuss the subject from the national view point. He will present facts and figures indicating its extent, and where it is most prevalent. William R. Conners, Secretary of the Cleveland Branch of the Urban League, and John C. Dancy, Executive Secretary of the Detroit Urban League who have had considerable experience in the past year in handling these matters in their respective communities. They will outline the programs which have been conducted there to create temporary or permanent jobs and to give material relief both to single men and women and to families. Secretary James J. Davis of the Department of Labor is expected. George W. Buckner, Executive Secretary of the St. Louis Urban League who has been laboring in Tulsa, Oklahoma to organize a program of rehabilitation in which white and colored people will co-operate and work together for the good of the community, will outline his accomplishments to date and Miss Mary McDowell, Head Worker of the University Settlement, Chicago, will participate in discussion of race relations and cooperation in inter-racial matters. The morning and afternoon meetings will be in the form of round table discussions in which all in attendance will be urged to participate. The Negro and organized Labor and the League's work in Health, Housing, Recreation and Industrial Welfare will also be discussed. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City, and T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary, Chicago Urban League, 3032 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill., are anxious to hear from persons who are interested in the problems of the race and in social service work and who may be planning to attend the conference. CIVIC ASSOCIATION TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIP It was decided at the meeting of the Georgetown Civic Association, on scholarship will go to Charles Wool-Phillips school, to award a scholarship of $50.00 each year to some deserving student. For this year the scholarship will go to Charles Woolford, 1303 Twenty-seventh Street, N.W., who is now a student at Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., having won a scholarship from that institution for this term. Young Woolford graduated at Dunbar last June. The Association also unanimously passed a resolution asking for Federal investigation of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which was offered by Attorney George A. Parker. This Association has a financial membership of 147 men who are federated for the civic welfare of their section of the city. Their activities cover the whole program of advancement and progress of colored people. Their next meeting will be October 25th at the Alexander Memorial Baptist Church on N Street, between 27th and 28th Streets. They are preparing for their annual banquet, the 24th of November.

DELEGATION CALL ON PRESIDENT DELEGATION CALL ON PRESIDENT (Continued from page 1) redress what they feel and have felt to be undue severity exercised against a regiment with such a record of soldierly bearing, courage and devotion as the 24th U. S. Infantry. "The personnel of this delegation is sufficient guaranty of the widespread and general desire for a pardon among colored people throughout the country." The delegation with Mr. Johnson consisted of: Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, of Buffalo, N. Y.; Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson of the Wilmington Advocate, Wilmington, Del.; Drs. William H. Washington and W. W. Wolfe, Newark, N. J.; Rev. R. H. Singleton, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, Cleveland, Ohio; Rev. S. P. Hood; Trenton, N. J.; Prof. John Hope, Atlanta; Dr. John W. Parks, Philadelphia; F. Z. Ransom, Indianapolis; Dr. William A. Sinclair, Philadelphia; Carl J. Murphy, of Afro-American, Baltimore; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard University, R. W. Stewart, Newark, N. J.; and Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary, of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. On leaving the White House the delegation were photographed. Little hope seemed to be expressed by the members of the delegation that the President would take action on the petition. One delegate expressed it rather forcefully, "Nothing doing." Not a single optimistic expression was heard from any of the delegates. The whole delegation seemed to be in a quandary over the perfunctory reply of the President with not a ray of hope that prompt action would be taken in the matter. This was a delegation representing practically the whole country and as they return to their homes they will carry with them the impression already felt in many quarters that the Negro can hope for precious little from the present Administration. That the colored people of the whole country are interested in the release of the 61 men of the 24th Infantry, is attested by the 50,000 signatures to the petition. The seeming opinion of the delegation was that these 50,000 persons and their friends are watching the result of their effort in the interest of humanity and justice.
