MARSHALL FOCH RECEIVES DEGREE AT HOWARD UNI.
The Howard University held ceremonies attendant upon the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on M. Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of France, Commander in Chief of the Allied Armies, on the University campus, Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock, November 16th, 1921, before a large crowd. A good program was rendered in connection with the Marshal's visit.
In conferring the degree on Marshal Foch after his presentation by Justice Peelle, President Durkee said: "Ferdinand Foch—Student, Teacher, Arthur, Patriot, Lover of Law and Justice, with supreme faith in God and in the right, Saviour of Civilization, honored and loved by mankind, generalissimo of the Allied Armies—By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees of the Howard University, I confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws, together with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto."
Marshal Foch in responding to the greeting of the University lauded the bravery of the heroes who served under him in France, and praised the American people for courtesy shown him since he landed on our shores.
The school grounds were decorated especially for the occasion.
GHOSE OUTLINES REVOLT IN INDIA
The address of Mr. Sailendra N. Ghose of Calcutta, India, who is National Director of the American Commission to Promote Self Government in India, was a feature at the regular monthly meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club last Friday night.
Mr. Ghos. spoke in very good English and showed a keen knowledge of America and world affairs. He gave the history of the movement by the people in India for complete independence. He stated that the movement started April 6, 1920 when an "All-Indian Committee" met and formed an organization. This committee met under the guidance of Mahatma K. Ghandi, who became the Indian Nationalist leader.
Gandji, who is the guiding spirit of the movement, suggested that the best way to combat England was by the boycott. The All-Indian Committee thereupon appealed to the race pride of the natives and the results have been wonderful. They have boycotted everything that is English, including even the courts and British-taught schools and colleges; and finally, most important of all, British-made goods of all kinds. According to the statistics, England in 1920 sent to India $360,000,000 of manufactured goods; in September of this year, because of the boycott, she sent only $30,000,000 worth.
As an example of the spirit animating the people of India, Mr. Ghose related that in October of this year, three hundred students revolted against 'their English instructors. They overthrew the authorities, drove the teachers away, and took complete charge of the school themselves.
Another incident related was the burning of $12,000,000 worth of English-made goods in the streets of Bombay, which is one of the principal importing cities of India.
Mr. Ghose stated that the movement is not suffering for the want of support. Last spring 10,000,000 members were asked for, and 90 days was the time set in which to get them: But within thirty days after the call went out, they had 1,000,000 members over the number asked for, and also had the total amount of money they wanted.
The spirit of revolt has reached even the imperial army. On October 3rd last, it is claimed that 100,000 native Indians soldiers in the army deserted and joined the Ghandi movement.
A cable dispatch of November 11th stated that Ghandi had issued an order that the statue of Lord Lawrence of England which stands in the principal square in Lahore, was to be removed. He exhorted his audience to

INTEREST IN BIG GAME AT HIGH PITCH
Sport Writer Predicts that Howard Will Win by Two Goals
(By Jay Bee)
"Going to see the game in Philly Thanksgiving Day?" "Going to see the fracas?"—are examples of some of the questions that are being asked on every hand. Graduates, students, and former students, of Howard University and a host of loyal citizens, who desire to see the orange and blue-donned warriors of the school named for the Great Emancipator, whipped to a gnat's frazzle, in Sleeptown (Phila.) on Turkey Day, by the stalwart knights of the pig-skin, who dwell upon the Georgia Avenue Hill—all that "make it"—will be there.
There will be representative groups of professional men and women from all four corners of the globe to help spur the representatives of their Alma maters "Victory-ward."
Although a great deal of interest, on the part of many is centered in the game, there is also a lively bit of scurrying around in preparation for a number of social functions that are scheduled to take place. A gala victory celebration is anticipated.
If enthusiasm will aid in bringing victory to the dwellers of yonder hill, the several brigades of hollow-throated Howard rooters, armed with megaphones, noise-makers and several cases of cough-drops, will surely be on the job with loads and loads of genuine enthusiasm. The Howard cheer-leader is spending many sleepless nights, so strenuous has been his voice-culture exercises.
HOWARD SHOULD WIN BY TWO
TOUCHDOWNS
By H. Scott
Probable Line-up.
Howard Positions Lincoln
Young .L.E. Wilson
Fuller .L.T. Williams
Smith .L.G. Greer
Holton .C. Ballinger
Melton .R.G. Coston
Brooks .R.T. Wood
Nurse .R.E. Skinker
Keene .Q.B. McClain
Contee .L.H. Brown
Doneghey .R.H. Law
Payne .F.B. Parr
Man for man there is little to choose between the two contestants, but as a machine Howard can and will play the Pennsylvanians. Lincoln must stop Doneghey something no opponent of Howard has been able to do this season. After that weak exhibition against Union, Shelbourne's backs must show more speed in getting off and great improvement in handling the ball, to be returned the winner Thanksgiving. There is, however, a great danger of over-confidence entering the ranks of the Blue and White and should this happen Lincoln may pull the unexpected, but we are willing to leave that to Coach Morrison.

do this "even at the risk of imprisonment or death." Lord Lawrence served as Governor-General of India from 1863 to 1869. The Mu-So-Lit Club's members were present in large numbers and thoroughly enjoyed the address. Open discussion followed, and the topic was handled in lively fashion by the members. These meetings are a regular feature at the club.

SUPT. BALLOU FOR AUTONOMY IN THE SCHOOLS
Upholds Stand Taken Last Week by Asst. Supt. Garnett C. Wilkinson
In sending his annual statement to the Board of Education last week, Supt. F. W. Ballou of the city schools concurred with the view published last by Asst. Supt. Wilkinson relative to the autonomy of the Colored school system in the district.
In one section of his Annual Report the Superintendent discusses some "needed developments and extensions of the school system?" Justification of every one of the developments or extensions advocated is to be found in the growth of the school system since 1906 when the present system was organized. With one exception, the proposals are for the further development and extensions of existing practices. These practices have been established in Washington on sound administrative or educational practices to be found in well organized city school systems. Nothing entirely new is advocated. No innovations or eliminations are urged; only extensions, developments or legalizations of what now exists are recommended at this time.
The present organic law provides for two separate and largely autonomic school systems, one for white and one for colored pupils, supervised and directed by the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent believes this legal provision for the school system should be continued and nothing recommended in his Annual Report is intended to modify the present practice in this respect. Indeed, in the plans advocated for the development and extension of the school system every effort has been made by the Superintendent to recognize and to respect the autonomy and the needs of each division of the school system which finds common ground in the Superintendent's Office.
IMPERIAL CLOTHING CO.
ROBBED AGAIN
For the third time within three months, The Imperial Clothing Company, 1214 U Street, N. W., was broken into and robbed of about $400 worth of silk hose and stockings, silk shirts, silk reefers, handkerchiefs and ties. The thief entered the building from the transom, notwithstanding there is an electric street light directly in front of the door.
Mr. Frederic T. Harris, manager of the store, said: "We consider it very poor police protection; for this is the third time that we have been robbed in the past six weeks. No one has been caught nor any of the goods recovered. It seemed odd that the large light we leave burning every night was turned out and yet no policeman noticed it. From two until six o'clock a. m. there is seldom a policeman seen in our block. This is one of the main streets in this section and should be well policed."
You will "see those burning pools of greenish grey mystery" in Clarence Brook's eyes, at the Dunbar four days next week, where he appears in "By Right of Birth."
Officers of World War Perfect Organization
Armistice Day Banquet Used For Business and Pleasure
At a formal smoker on Friday night the 11th, at the Oriental Gardens, assembled many of the officers of the World War in their annual Armistice Celebration. Dr. W. H. Howard, chairman, presided.
Notwithstanding the occasion was one of mirth and "good-time," a movement was inaugurated to form a permanent organization of the Officer-Vets, with the purpose of making the local organization the nucleus of a national organization to function not only for our officer-vets but for the buck-private-vets as well.
In bringing the matter before the group, Capt. (Dr.) T. Edward Jones made a strong appeal to the "boys" to get together, in which he said in part:
"I am fully conscious of the great responsibility placed upon me tonight, as I am aware of the fact that I will be expected to sound the key-note, the harmony of which will be heard and influence felt by thousands of veterans.
"After every war there comes a period of reconstruction, and the late war was no different from the rest. We are now passing through that period of reconstruction, that period of rehabilitation, and the world expects every man to do his duty.
"You, gentlemen, are a part of the mighty throng, and if you would in departing, leave behind your footprints on the sands of time, you must be alive to the opportunities around you and responsive to the call of duty, being so loudly sounded in your ears today.
"With your years of superior advantages, you are expected to be found in the fore front of the procession, and by your wise judicious counsel, your unswerving loyalty, your unfaltering trust, and undaunted courage, lead your less fortunate comrades on to heights, hitherto undreamed of.
"Ours is indeed a difficult task, tho by no means hopeless. It is for us to direct our energies in such manner that we may favorably influence opinion, and thereby batter down the walls of prejudice, which doth so easily beset our pathway. Too long we depended upon the other fellow to go and bring to us the relief we ask.
"Do you know that we have been informed that there are those of our former brothers in arms in the southland suffering today for lack of proper hospital facilities? Do you know that many of them refuse to leave their native land and that the only solution of the situation is to carry facilities to them in order to relieve their suffering? Do you know that thousands of them are denied recognition in the American Legion, and because of such denial, have no organized way in which to express their grievances? Do you know that because of the lack of proper leadership, there are still other thousands, who knowing not their rights, are more than likely denied the benefits to which they are justly entitled.
"Comrades, these are some of the things I beseech you to think upon, and determine now, if you do not think that an organization of some kind should be formed, the prime aim of which is the full protection of the man who gave his best that this Government in particular and civilization in general, should not perish from

SUPT. WILKINSON STRESSES NEEDS OF OUR SCHOOLS
Physical Examinations Show Many Defects in Our Children
At a regular meeting of the Northwest Uplift League, held at the Peoples' Congregational Church, last Sunday afternoon, Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, in a very practical talk, besought the full co-operation of the members and friends of the league. Prof. Wilkinson stressed the absolute necessity of the physical fitness of our youth. By statistical records, he showed that an amazing number of our school children are considerably underweight and overweight. He asserted that out of 128 pupils, in one of our schools, there are 125 who are physically defective, which condition is an awful indictment against the public school system of the District of Columbia. He stated further that the educators all over the country, are making preparations to place more emphasis upon the physical development of our school children.
He asserted that an unusually large percentage of our school children are under-nourished, many of whom plod their way to school without breakfast. To alleviate this condition, Prof Wilkinson declared that the Board of Education had consented to allow the operation of lunchrooms, in all school buildings, where wholesome food would be prepared under the direction of the Domestic Science Departments, and could be obtained at reasonable rates by the pupils.
He spoke very encouragingly of the future outlook of the various school problems, many of which, he said are being solved just as expeditiously as it is possible.
Referring to the Compulsory Act, he pointed out several of the bad features of the law. Recommendations relative to the age limits of pupils have been made by the Board of Education whereby every child would at least obtain a high school education. According to the present provisions of the law, the parent is compelled to send a child to school between certain ages, but the law does not say how many grades a child must make. Concerning the crowded condition of the Dunbar High School, he stated that the present structure was planned for the accommodation of 1200 students, but the present year's enrollment shows-that 1516 students have matriculated there under the most adverse circumstances. The congestion there is due principally to the eagerness of our young men and women to secure a business education. The school of Business Practice should occupy a separate and distinct building, then Dunbar could amply take care of those students who would pursue the academic course.
The building of a Commercial High School, at this time is an urgent necessity and has been for years, and he inferred that the colored business men of this city should prevail upon Congress to build such a structure.
In conclusion, Prof. Wilkinson gave the assurance that the autonomy of the colored schools would remain the same as in former years.
The officers of the Northwest Uplift League are: D. C. Henry, president; I. H. Lofton, vice-president; Robert Stewart, secretary and A. Dickerson, treasurer.

ATTY. H. L. TIGNOR BELIEVED SUICIDE
ATTY. H. L. TIGNOR BELIEVED SUICIDE
The mysterious disappearance of Attorney Harry L. Tignor after having registered on a steamer from Baltimore to Norfolk, Va., is believed to be a case of suicide. It is claimed by the officials of the Chesapeake Steamship Company that Lawyer Tignor was seen on the boat after it left Baltimore. There was found in his stateroom number 139, his cap, coat and a letter, type written on foolscap paper and it was pasted onto one of his letter heads. An official of the steamship company was in Washington Thursday and interviewed Dr. C. A. Tignor, who says that he can guarantee the authenticity of the letter as that of his brother Harry. The letter recites incidents having occurred between him and his wife which is the basis for his being tired of life and wishing to end it all. Anyone having information as to Attorney Harry Tignor's whereabouts will favor either of his brothers by conferring with them.

Clinic Opened at the Hospital for Colored Children
Colored children suffering with adnoids or tonsillitis are given free treatment at the Alexandra Hospital. Dr. Dilliard and Dr. Yates are rendering their services free of charge. Mrs. Fannie Carter matron of the hospital has arranged a ward for this service. Mrs. Mary Monroe, school nurse and truant officer, (white) recently visited Parker-Gray School and found a number of cases of throat trouble among the children. Dr. Dilliard is a specialist in this work and his services are reliable. He asserted that white children suffer most with teeth diseases and colored children with throat diseases. Mrs. Monroe is pleased with the response coming from the parents. Mr. Charles Holland tendered the services of his car to take the children to their homes after the operations.
Local Negro Army Officers
For a city its size, Alexandria can feel proud of its showing.
Before we we have an article under the caption, "Negro Officers in the War," and it contains in the list the names of four Alexandrians.
Captain Geo. A. Holland, 366th Infantry; 1st Lieut. Campbell C. Johnson who was at Camp Howard, Howard University, Washington, D. C.; 2nd Lieuts. J. Lacey Doss, 325th Field Signal and Douglass C. Richardson, 368th Infantry.
This is a rather belated mention, but the Tribune is ever alert to give honor where honor is due. No local paper ever gave space for this nor to the fact that a local Negro paid the supreme sacrifice when William Toms of 710 Gibbon St., was killed in action in France.
Capt. Holland hopes to meet all War veterans at the Community Building, Wednesday night, on the third floor, at 8 o'clock.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 9, 1921 Editor of The Tribune, Dear Sir:
With one stroke of his brush the artist has given to us an eloquent lecture on Negro independence and equality. He has clearly portrayed how the Negro boy who represents The Negro Business Enterprises, is struggling amid the dark waters of oblivion trying to grasp our support, which to him means life or death. How true it is, that hundreds of Negroes pass by their own business establishments, thoughtless of what Negro business means to Negro Life and Negro Independence. They are forgetful of the fact that a change in the Negro's economic status means a change in his political and social life. When we shall have thrown out the life-line of support and shall have built a mighty base of Negro business enterprises, then we shall be able to demand respect, more scientifically, more forcefully and more powerfully; we shall be able to bring back once again, the pomp and glory that belonged to the ancient children of the Nile. Let us arise out of the darkness of oblivion by our own efforts, remembering that dependence breeds contempt, but independence demands respect; then will the cohorts of oppression and persecution, "Fold their tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away."
It is evident we will be considered the equal of any race, or rather any particular group, of people, in proportion as we consider ourselves their equal. And likewise we will consider ourselves the equal, of any particular group of people, in proportion as we create interest in all things that concern human achievement, and especially in those things, of our own racial achievement. Therefore let us gird up our loins and invade the fields of economics, of science and of politics unceasingly until we have unfurled our standards upon the highest peak of human development. The three goddesses of Negro Liberty are, Economic Equality, Political Equality and Social Equality. They are three in one and inseparable, one can not function without the other.
It is not necessary to place a red
flag on social equality, because it is an implied attribute to human intercourse, that is to say, that no one discusses politics or anything else with apes or monkeys—they are inferior; but they do discuss them with human beings—they are socially equal. Man with his prejudices made several races, but God in his divine wisdom, made only one race, the human race "Fundamental, Eternal, and Inescapable." In conclusion, the business men who have launched their frail crafts upon the rough and unchartered seas of Negro endeavor, have not merely their own personal benefit in view, but they have a greater vision, they are striving to map a course that leads to that bright and shining shore of Negro Independence.
My title to your cartoon is: The Struggling Soul of Negro Independence.
Respectfully yours,

AT HOWARD THEATRE
THIS WEEK
Rw Jav Ree
The bill at the Howard Theatre,
which is entirely devoid of any thing
suggestive of entertaining (except in
spots) was witnessed by the “faith-
ful few” many of whom have been
identified with the “Grand United Or-
der of Monday Nighters” for many
moons. As is usually the case, enthu-
siasm was at a premium.
The Idahos opened the bill with a
sterotyped line of bunk, that with here
and there an injection of a bit of later
day stuff, got a fair hand from a
typical Monday night Washington au-
dience.
Gus Simmons and his two off-springs
clever little pocket-edition entertain-
ers, gave the surprise of the evening
with snappy bits of good harmoni-
zing and hoof shaking. Gus fooled
away several minutes monologing and
looking ugly—the latter he did to per-
fection. This'act went over big with
the major portion of the applause in-
tended for the little kiddies who are
plainly the meal-tickets for Papa Gus.
Kinky and Clark—black face come-
dian and dainty soubrette—in songs,
monologues and eccentric dancing,
got over fairly well. They shave been
seen bere on several other occasions
and have been more vociferously re-
ceived on previous engagements.

cast of this Musical Extravaganza
which is in two parts and twelve

cast unequalled in the realms of Mu-

Carlisles Meet Settlers
Thanksgiving Night
HOT CONTEST EXPECTED
By Jay Beo
According to Dame Rumor, there
will be great doings at the Dunbar
Armory on Thanksgiving night wher
the famous Carlisle A. C. and the
Settlers formally open the basket
ball season for the winter.
Manager “Soup” Conway has been
whipping his “saps” into shape for the
past two months and while he is not
boasting (loudly) he has made it plair
that he expects his “trusties” to ad-
minister the trouncing of their lives
to the “Setts.”
On the other hand, the Settlers are
equally as confident’ of victory over
their old rivals, but a bitter scrap is
inevitable. Dancing will follow the
game
Changes in Basket Ball
Rules
Mr. Benjamin Washington, who for
the fourth consecutive year has beer
appointed as an Approved Basket
Ball Official begs to advise of the fol-
lowing changes in the rules for the
coming season:
1. In the center and other jump
ball situations, each jumper is re-
quired to place one hand in contact
with the middle of the small of his
back and KEEP IT THERE until the
ball has been tapped.
2, A player receiving the ball
while standing still may take ONE
STEP in any direction while in the
‘act of putting the ball in play in any
manner. .... Dribbling, passing o1
‘shooting. .... This simplifies the
‘rule of last year when the player was
‘permitted to take one step when pass-
‘ing or shooting the ball but NO step
when dribbling the ball.
3. “Time out” may be called by a
captain ONLY when HIS team is in
possession of the ball, unless a player
‘very evidently has been injured when
“time out” may be called immediately.
| 4, In making substitutions for any
player a time limit of thirty seconds
is permitted. Consuming more than
thirty seconds results in a “time out”
being charged.
5. A “time out” of one minute is
permitted, however, in entering a sub-
‘stitute for an injured player without
a “time out” being charged.
6. Under no condition is a “time
out” to extend beyond two minutes.
On or before the expiration of two
minutes, play is to be resumed.
7. Substitutes, upon entering a
game must approach CLOSELY to
the referee in order to report and be
recognized by him before participa-
ting in the game.
unquestionably a Broadway Show at
popular prices, and lovers of real en-
tertainment would do well to secure
seats and witness a show that kept
thousands giving vent to uncontrolla-
ble mirth wherever shown.
One of the special features with
this production is “The Butterfly
Girl” is said to be the greatest novel-
ty on tour. *
Forfeit Mars the Union-
Lincoln Game
By H. Scott
Richmond, Va.—The refusal of the
Lincoln team to accept a decision of
the officials in the last five minutes of
play, with Union leading 7 to 0, caused
Referee Bacon to declare the game
played here last week forfeited to
Union. The confusion was started
when Lincoln in a threatening march
toward the goal, fumbled, In the wild
seramble and recovery that followed
the officials ruled the ball to a Union
player. The visitors protested that
the Referee reversed his decision after
confering with the Umpire. At the
expiration of the necessary two
minutes given Lincoln to line-up, the
game was declared forfeited.
Loose playing on both sides marred
the game. Numerous chances to score
were thrown away. Lincoln out-
rushed Union but poor generalship and
the inability to hold the ball, caused
their downfall. The ending of the
first half stopped a probable Lincoln
score, for they had rushed the ball
from mid-field to Union's five yard
line. The locals earned the only touch-
down of the game on a series of short
gains that seemingly swept the Penn-
sylvanians off their feet. Probably
due to the loss of two first-string line-
men early in the game, the winner's
line appeared woefully weak against
Lincoln’s shifts and the work of the
backfield with Frentress starring was
the Red and Steel’s chief defensive re-
liance.
‘A. Jackson and Gregory were the
chief ground-gainers for the Rich-
monders. The: former also showed
class as a punter. Law, the out-
standing player of the game, time and
again made big gains through the lo-
cal’s line and around the ends. The
work of Skinker and Coston in the
visitors line was worthy of comment.

Referee Makes Statement
Referee Bacon stated after the
game that “There had been frequent
efforts by players of both sides to
take the ball from the man carrying
i after he had been tackled. I asked
the Umpire to look-out for offenders
end on this particular play he was
right over it and I was not. After I
had unmassed the players [ found a
Union man over the ball and a Lincoln
player with his hands around it. I
accepted the Umpire’s decision giving
the ball to the Union player. Lincoln
protested and I explained, giving the
conditions; but seeing there was no ef-
fort being made to line-up, I pulled
my watch, warning the Lincoln team
they would have to play in two
minutes.’ At the expiration of this
time, I declared the game fotfeited to
Union.”
From the side-lites we could see
no reason for Lincoln quitting unless
the fear of a clean-cut Union victory
might effect the Thanksgiving Day
crowd. This utter disregard of the
spectators may not injure the Turkey
Day crowd but it should cause a probe
to be made by the Inter-collegiate
Athletic Association and rules adopted
to handle future evidences of un-
sportsmanship such as occurred last
Saturday.

The first quarter was slow but
clearly showed the superiority of How-

forward pass Contee took the ball
over, while Brooks kicked goal by
skimming the pole. Five minutes
later another forward pass from the

P. E. Church, Sunday, October 30; the Reverend Oscar L. Mitchell, rector of St. Mary's officiating. The altar was decorated with white chrysanthemums and pink dahlias against a background of autumn leaves, in memory of the late Dr. W. Bruce Evans, maternal gradfather of the infant. Handsome six-foot sectional candlesticks were used for the first time in honor of the christening. These candlesticks were especially made by the Armstrong High School of which Doctor Evans was the founder and were presented to the church in his memory, by his daughter Mrs. Tibbs. The infant was christened Thurlow Evans.
In the group at the baptismal font were the father and mother, Mrs. Edward James Wheatley of Baltimore, and Colonel Arthur Brooks of Washington, D. C., who were sponsors for the child; Mrs. Annie D. Evans, his grandmother; Mrs. Daniel Murray and little Helene Murray.
Among the out of town visitors at the service were Dr. Edward James Wheatley and Miss Dickerson of Baltimore.

almost helpless defense by Hampton. Hardwick's kicking for Hampton saved her from having several touchdowns registered against her. At the opening of the second half, Hampton kicked off to Howard and the ball fell in the 10-yard zone and was brought out to Howard's 20 yard line. With Smith and Fuller creating a clear passage, Doneghy ran straight through the opening in Hampton's right guard and with perfect interference with Nurse getting rid of three successive players, Doneghy fleetly ran the 85 yards for a touchdown. Brooks kicked goal. Howard by rapid gains once more shoved the ball over the line in this quarter and Brooks again kicked goal. In the last quarter with only two minutes to play, Payne carried the ball over from a blind team conference play. Goal was kicked and registered

Teddy Bears Defeat Lafavettes
The Champion Teddy Bears of Washington opened their season with a victory over the Lafayettes of Alexandria in that city, last Sunday by the score of 13 to 0.
Owing to the fact that the Bears quarterback was late in reporting their signals were crossed many times which probably kept them from scoring in the first period.
Payne the quarterback got into the game at the start of the second quarter, and the Bears played like a different team. They scored at once.
Capt. Burrell and J. Tatum plunged the line for gains of 8 to 9 yards, and Ben Fells pulled off a 35-yard run around left end, then Payne threw a forward to "Duck" Fells for a touchdown. Capt. Burrell missed the goal.
The final scoring came in the last quarter, after the Lafayetes failed to make any headway with their aerial game they started kicking and the Bears kept the ball near their goal till

an opening was made for Steward and he slipped around right end for a touchdown. Ben Fells kicked goal. Score Teddy Bears 13, Lafayettes 0.
The playing of Dick Fells in the line and the work of Steward and Ben Fells was the outstanding features of the game. The Bears were loud in their praise for Mr. Norman Murray the lone official of the game.
All teams which think they have a chance for the title can have a game by writing Capt. John Burrell, 2222 G Street, N. W.
Substitutions: Teddy Bears—Payne for Meyers. Lafayettes—Robinson for Majors; Wright for Wanzer, Miller for Snyder.
Dunbar 24, Baltimore 0
On Friday Nov. 11, Dunbar High School football team journeyed to Baltimore to play the High School team of that city. It was evident from the start that the Baltimore boys were no match for the Dunbar boys. The terrific line plunging and the speed was too much for Baltimore although they fought pluckily. The Baltimore team displayed a wonderful aerial attack and threatened the Dunbar goal line about three times but did not score. As this was their first game the Baltimore team was a bit weak but will show to better advantage in their next game.
Dunbar is now awaiting the time honored tilt with Armstrong High which should be a battle royal for football fans. The Dunbar team is building its attack around the following players: N. Slaughter, Laughton Capt. Trigg and V. Bryson.
Piedmonts Defeated by Black Sox 8 to 7
The Piedmonts being forced by the referee to change their winning line-up, caused them to play a hard, but fatal game in the Black Sox Park, Baltimore, Md., Sunday, November the 13th. The Sox were much too heavy a team for the Piedmonts, but from the start and through the better portion of the game, the big fellows were completely out-played. Through it all the Piedmonts were in the lead, with a score of 7 to 2, until the last quarter, when during the last five minutes of play, a forward pass from B. Robinson, quarterback, to B. Brown, right end of the Black Sox was successfully made, resulting in a touchdown.
The Soxs also were credited 2 points, scoring a touchback in the third quarter. A touchdown for the Piedmonts was made by R. Morse, left tackle; goal was kicked by J. Harris; featuring a final score of 8 to 7 in favor of the Black Sox.
The Piedmonts were handicapped when the referee declared a severe penalty on one of their best men forcing him to leave the game, making it very necessary to change the working machine completely around.
For the players on respective teams, the game was well played, fast and sportsmanlike, ever fighting hard to win. Regardless of the big odds in weight, there were but few gains through either line.
Celebration of the 23rd Anniversary of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company
Duo-celebration of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company will be held at the Home Office Auditorium, 609 F Street, Northwest on Thanksgiving Morning and at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third and Eye Streets, Northwest on Sunday Night. December 11th, 1921 at 8 p.m.

A Christmas Gift The Latest and Best Idea
IN A MILLION HOMES EYES AND THOUGHTS ARE NOW TURNED TOWARD CHRISTMAS.
Recall past Christmas seasons and the presents you gave or received. What remains of them now beyond a fond but fading memory?
Reflect upon the past; THEN CONSIDER THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. What can you give that will be a permanent benefit?
FOOD AND RAIMENT? They melt and vanish as the Christmas snow before the vernal sun.
DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY? You invite the attention of thieves and robbers thus burdening yourself and your loved ones with constant fear.
Even an INSURANCE POLICY as sane a gift as that is generally considered, finds its fruition in disaster to loved ones and its joy is wet with tears.
But here is a gift free from all these disadvantages; a Gift that is permanent, a Gift that is profitable, a Gift that is worthy, a Gift that is SECURE.
Given to your wife it will safeguard her against the day when illness or misfortune may rob her of your support;
To your children it will prove the strength and joy of maturer years;
To your parents it will become a sustaining prop of age;
And last but not least, to YOURSELF it will be an ever increasing heritage.
THE STOCK OF THE STANDARD INVESTMENT COMPANY meets all these tests and fulfills every condition.
Remember that at TEN DOLLARS a share you are securing fully paid-up, non-assessable stock in a big corporation, the largest of its kind in Washington, only capitalized at $150,000 but having visible and tangible assets consisting of eight mercantile stores in the busiest part of 14th street and an additional 12,000 feet of ground right in the heart of the City. Its value is sustained by every force of the federal government and increased by every advance in the National Capital. Look it over and be convinced.
So sure is the Standard Company of the unparalleled value of the offer now made you that it agrees that after twenty-four months if you are dissatisfied the company will redeem your purchase and allow you 6 per cent interest for the entire time. This applies to those taking advantage of this offer prior to January first.
Never before has a Christmas present been bought upon such favorable terms. Only a limited number of shares are offered at the present low price and over half of these have been sold. You must act promptly if you wish to take advantage of this great offer.

The Stylus
The Stylus, a literary organization which holds an annual competitive contest for members, announces its contest for the year 1921-1922. Each contestant will write an essay, poem, literary composition, short story a criticism or submit a drawing to the office of the "Scribe," Mr. Lemuel D. Bolton. These will be passed upon by a committee of judges. The contest will close on Monday, November 21, 1921. It is the purpose of the Stylus to encourage original literary expression at the university. As a medium through which to do this, the club publishes a stylus magazine yearly. Professors Gregory and Locke are faculty members of the Stylus; Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Dean Kelly Miller, and Mr. W. E. B. DuBois, are among the honorary members.
Symphony Orchestra
Serg't. Dorcy T. Rhodes, director of the R. O. T. C. Band, has organized an orchestra known as the symphony orchestra which will play for the various faculty and student entertainments during the year. The orchestra will soon give a concert which will exhibit the successful work that it is doing.
The N.A.A.C.P. Appeals for Members On Monday morning November 14, at the Chapel exercises, Dean G. W. Cook of the School of Commerce and Finance spoke in behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. membership drive. Dean Cook made a strong and a fiery appeal. Mr. J. Wylife Keller, is president of the branch; Mr. Joseph Moore is secretary.
Dr. Scurlock Lectures to the
On the Sigma Chemical Society
The Chi Rho Sigma Chemical Society presented Dr. H. C. Scurlock of the Medical School to the student body on Monday evening, November 14 at
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1921
8 o'clock in the amphitheatre of Thirkield Science Hall. Dr. Scurlock has been an instructor in chemistry at Howard for 25 years. The fruits of his labor and toil in the earlier days of Howard remains yet to be seen about the university. He is at present an instructor in the Department of Physiological Chemistry in the Medical School. The topic that Dr. Scurlock lectured on was "The Relation of Chemistry to the Art of medicine." Dr. Scurlock, treated the subject very elaborately. Mr. L. H. B. Foote, who acted as chairman, and introduced the speaker, called upon Professor St. Elmo Brady, the founder of Chi Rho Sigma, for a few remarks. After Professor Brady's remarks, Mr. Foote then called on the president of the society, Mr. F. D. Johnson, for the final remarks.
The Forum
The young ladies debating society at the university rendered a very interesting debate on Thursday evening November 17, at 6:30 p.m. in Library Hall. The subject was: "Resolved, That President Harding's address in Birmingham was detrimental to the Negro race."
Dr. Jones, of Liberia Speaks
At the Tuesday morning chapel services, Dr. Jones, formerly of Mississippi, and a missionary to Africa for 20 years, spoke to the student body. He told of the struggles in his earlier life for an education, and also spoke of the present day opportunities for young Negro men and women. He spoke of his life in Africa, and urged that the students help to develop Africa, its resources and its people.
Williams Brought Home
On Tuesday morning, George Williams, Howard's famous left end, who was seriously hurt in the West Virginia-Howard game two weeks ago, was brought home and placed in Freedmen's Hospital. The disabled varsity man was met by many loyal and appreciative Howardites.
The team will greatly feel the loss of Williams in the Lincoln game, but it is very fortunate in having with

them Jack Young, the present left end who is fiery, energetic, swift and always on the go. Young is rapidly proving himself worthy of the position which he now fills. He exhibited his ability as a football player in his clever playing in the Shaw game.
The Howard Home Round Table
It is indeed encouraging to note that there is a small group of young people who meet regularly on Sunday afternoon at the Howard Home for a Round Table discussion on current and literary topics. The advantages to be derived from such discussion are so numerous and evident that the writer

thinks it unnecessary to mention them at this time.
However the interest in such a group centers about the fact that these young people have realized the necessity of Round Table discussion as a means of solving the problems which face them as students; and also as a means of analyzing and shaping public opinion on problems which confront the nation and the world.
It is to be regretted that such gatherings have not been more numerous in the past, but it is hoped that the results obtained from this group will be so widespread and far-reaching that Round Table discussions will become an assured adjunct to the University and the forces at work for its improvement.
Much credit is due Miss Childers, Miss Lewis and Miss Arizona Cleaver, who prepared the way for this little group.
COLORED ORCHESTRA WINS
JAZZ CONTEST OVER, TWELVE
WHITE ORCHESTRAS
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Miss Gertie Monk and her six jazz jiggs were awarded the first prize at the National Jazz Contest held in the Music Academy last week. Battling for the first prize which was a six months' contract with a well known New Jersey record company, were six colored orchestras and twelve white ones. Miss Monk's combination of six all star Jazz artists easily took the decision. The contract not calling for her services until January 1st next, Miss Monk at once began to arrange for a short tour thru the east with her now nationally famed combination.

FLOATING STONES
North of San Francisco, in California, is a small bluff of rocks on the shore of Clear Lake. There one may pick up pieces of stones as large as one's head and throw them into the water and they will not sink. They go floating away bobbing to and fro just as corks would float. Perhaps in years long gone the Indians used them lashed together with thongs of bark and floated from shore to shore upon them.
Now, what kind of stone can that be, you ask? Well, it is called pumice-stone. It is full of holes and spaces just as you see in sponges, and the air which it contains causes it to be so light that it can float upon the water.
Pumice-stone comes from volcanoes.
OLD EAST INDIAN HAIR
POMADE
If you want long, straight and beautiful hair, use an old East Indian Hair Pomade. They are wonderful and quick. If your hair is off on the sides, harsh and kinky and will not grow go to your druggist and get you an old East Indian Hair Pomade and Tonic. If it is gray this will restore it to original color and give you a beautiful head of hair. It is good for men and women. It is prepared by an old East Indian hair specialist who has devoted his entire life as a scalp specialist. Don't experiment any longer. Thousands of women have been beautified by this wonderful treatment. Pomade, 25c. Tonic, 75c. at all druggists. Dr. Napper, 7th and U, Dr. McGuire, 9th and U, all the People's, O'Donnels, all the Associated Drug Stores. Be sure you get the old East Indian Hair Pomade and Tonic. Don't let your druggist give Tonis East Indian or Jones East Indian. Ask him to give you the old East Indian Hair Pomade and Tonic. $1.00. No order received for less than one dozen pomades, $2.00.

29. The U. S. A. placed Santo Domingo in a state of military occupation, 1916.
Q. In what issue of the "Review of Reviews" was there an article entitled "American Negro as a Fighting Man."—M. A.
A. August, 1918.
Q. Is there a magazine published by Negroes called "The Optimist"?—R. J. H.
A. There was such a magazine published in Baltimore by Howard E. Young, the first issue being dated March, 1918. There were only two issues.
Q. Who was William Jones, otherwise, "Black Bill"? Tell me something of him.—A. A.
A. The person you refer to is perhaps "Black Bill" who was a prisoner on the Convict Ship "Success." He was a native of Cardiff. He was implicated in the murder of Capt. Price, but was acquitted. After gaining his freedom he established himself in business in lower George Street, Sydney, Australia.
Q. Is there any Negro paper or magazine that would be of benefit to rural Negroes?—Wm. Q.
A. Your question is not definite, but I would suggest "The Negro Farmer," address, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.
Ask your friends to define "chair." Many will say "a chair is something to sit on." You answer, "so is a bench a stool, a sofa."

ASPIRATIONS
Aspiration means to have an ardent (eager) wish.
You have often heard the expression "He has a white man's aspirations."
A white man's aspirations. What are they? Many white men do not aspire or hope for the best things. So aspirations of a high standard are not white men's alone but are everybody's. That means every little colored girl and boy can have aspirations of her or his own. They can select from great men of our own race such as Tanner, Burleigh, Miller, Douglass, Dunbar, Fortune, Aldridge, and many others. Had these men white men's aspirations, black men's aspirations, or men's aspirations?
Aspire because it is yours to aspire. Aspire to those things that are cleanest, noblest, and biggest and whatever may be the assertions of others, know that your aspirations were the aspirations of man given to

After the first year, the and has been handed down even Thruout the world today there country who forced the Pilgrim is responsible for a large part China, she has millions under he The American people are all The American Negro has been natic America. Yet, the colored much for which they can be the living amidst the greatest civil known, is worthy of Thanksgiving knowledge of full and free Chri-giving. The greatest and most the colored people of the United thankful is the awakening of the consciousness and his desire for American citizen. Should the Pilgrim Fathers giving Day, would they recognize they found, lived in, fought and prejudice so dominated American premacy" has forced unjustifiable people of this country? Has it among the stronger nations, Thanksgiving Day finds more starved, desperate, than was ev Day before. With the leading man knows what the next Thanksgiving world?
INTEREST IN BIG GAME AT HIGH PITCH
Thanksgiving is an American institution but has spread thruout the world. It was instituted by the Pilgrims, who were oppressed in England, and who left that country for America, to obtain religious and political freedom. After having planted their first crop, cultivated and gathered it, it was suggested that they meet on a certain day and return thanks unto God for the blessings of freedom, and a bountiful yield. After the first year, this became an annual custom, and has been handed down even to the present day.
Thruout the world today there is oppression. England, the country who forced the Pilgrim Fathers to flee her oppression, is responsible for a large part of it. In India, Africa and China, she has millions under her yoke.
The American people are also in the role of oppressors. The American Negro has been and is oppressed by capitalistic America. Yet, the colored people of this country have much for which they can be thankful. The opportunity of living amidst the greatest civilization that the world has known, is worthy of Thanksgiving. The opportunity of the knowledge of full and free Christianity should merit Thanksgiving. The greatest and most important thing for which the colored people of the United States should be grateful and thankful is the awakening of the American Negro to racial consciousness and his desire for recognition and power as an American citizen.
Should the Pilgrim Fathers return to us on this Thanksgiving Day, would they recognize this as the America they found, lived in, fought and died for? Or has greed and prejudice so dominated America that her plea for "white supremacy" has forced unjustifiable oppression upon the weak people of this country? Has not the same spirit prevailed among the stronger nations, the world over, until this Thanksgiving Day finds more people oppressed, uncared for, starved, desperate, than was ever known on a Thanksgiving Day before. With the leading nations now in conference, who knows what the next Thanksgiving Day will mean to the world?
(Continued from page 1)
Concluding—with the so-called "breaks" of the game even and both teams at their best, the locals should win by the margin of at least two touchdowns. Should any first-star men suffer serious injury early in the game, Coach Shelburne will have better qualified reserve men to pick from than will Coach Morrison.
Comparative Strength of Teams
Center: About even, neither a star.
Guard: Coston and Smith excel, but Melton and Green are dependable mates.
Tackle: Four men of the first magnitude are facing each other. Can Fuller and Brooks stop the mighty Shelburne shift that will lunge from 2 to 4 men at them?
End: Skinker, may star, has the making of a great end. Nurse's work has improved with every game. Wilson, Crusade and Young are fair wingmen.
Q.-Back: Keene has the edge on McCain in passing, his generalship is better and while both are fast, the former can be depended upon to use his speed to better advantage.
Backs: Doneghey has no equal in general all-round ability in this section. Law, a wonderful player has performed brilliantly in every game. Payne can be depended upon for short gains and his toe may be a deciding factor. Brown, Parr, Johnson and Contee are more than average backfield men.
SETTLERS DEFEAT PEERLESS A.C.
The Settlers stepped out of their class on Wednesday when they won over the strong Peerless A. C., 18 to 0. Cook and W. Marshall starred for the winners. Saturday they will take on the strong Indian A. C. The Settlers basket ball team won over the Logan School, Friday, 17 to 12. Teams wanting games in football or basketball notify Winifred Faucette, 904 Westminister Street.
FISK DEFEATS WILBERFORCE Nashville, Tenn.—Wilberforce Unv. and Fisk met in an intersection game here last Saturday which was won by Fisk, 14 to 0. Wilberforce put up a stronger fight than the score indicates; they registered 21 first downs to Fisk's 9. Fisk however was able to break through Wilberforce's defense on well executed plays in the third and fourth quarters. The game was marred by interference from the outsiders. Tripp and Mumford starred for Wilberforce, while Capt. "Tubby" Johnson starred for Fisk.

The Murray Casino was the scene of one of the season's most notable social gathering last Wednesday evening, at which time, the Chanticleer Social Club, one of the city's oldest organizations, entertained several hundred of their friends.
The beautifully decorated dance saloon was filled to its capacity with young ladies and matrons modishly attired in Dame Fashion's latest decree, dancing and promenading to the entrancing strains of the famous Columbian Orchestra under the director of Prof. Sylvester Thomas.
The officers of the club are: William A. Brown, president; Judge W. Hall, vice-president; William T. Reeder, treasurer; Ralph A. Webster, secretary; Edward Hansborough, asst. secretary. Henry L. Lyles, chaplain.

"Do you know that there are propositions being considered, weighed in the balance in order to determine the proper procedure for the best care of the much neglected Negro Veterans? Do you know that an organization, which will represent them and their needs will be heard and given due consideration?
"It has been said that we are an eternal and inescapable separate group. This I will neither deny nor affirm, but suffice it to say, separate or inseparate, we have the same appreciation of the distinction between pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, right and wrong, as any other civilized group of human beings.
"Gentlemen, let us remember that it is less than men to seek privileges without assuming obligations, and I believe history will bear me out, that you have never shirked an obligation, or failed to perform your full duty, when your country was in dire stress. Let the same be said of you in time of peace. Look well to your civic pride. Guard well your past achievements and strive relentlessly for heights beyond. I believe that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe still reigns, and will raise up men and women in sufficient numbers to convince the world of the necessity of recognizing the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man."
Organization Effected On the following Wednesday at the Y. M. C. A. Building, officers effected a permanent organization for social and historical purposes, and to keep alive the deeds of valor of the Colored soldiers in the recent war.

Capt. T. Edward Jones of the Medical Corps and winner of the coveted Distinguished Service Cross was elected president; Lieut. Arthur L. Curtis; Medical Corps, formerly of the 368th Infantry, vice-president; Lieut. Edward Savoy, 368th Infantry, secretary; and Lieut. Richard Banks, treasurer. An executive Committee of five members was formed with Capt. Campbell C. Johnson, formerly Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Howard University, as chairman to consider the proposition of a national organization of our Veterans of the World War without regard to rank.
The opinion was expressed unanimously that the Colored Veterans have already procrastinated unduly in organizing and in selecting their own leaders. The fact that the generally accepted leaders of the race had practically ignored the veteran since his return from war and that no serious attempt had been made on the part of any one to protect his interests came up for consideration and condemnation.
Washington's Greatest Ball to be Staged November 25th
Washington's Greatest Ball to be Staged November 25th
A TWENTIETH CENTURY JAZZ REVUE
Clever Tactics Outwits the Sharks of the East
"Is Washington behind other big cities, when it comes to amusements?" "Well, I should say not." The greatest ball of the age has been planned for Friday, November 25, at the Convention Hall. First we hear of lots of excitement in New York, then another rumbling in Philadelphia, then an explosion in Baltimore. It was rumored that while these cities slept, four enterprising amusement promoters of the Capital City put over one of the biggest amusement propositions ever recorded in the annals of local amusement history.
Last Wednesday night, it leaked out that the names of J. H. Matthews and Geo. H. Tucker suddenly appeared upon the register of the Hotel Dale, Philadelphia. Then everybody wanted to know why these two gentlemen from Washington were floating around in Philly. A. J. Thomas the well-known theater man was also seen buzzing around and he, too, became suspicious. "Bill Rumor" said that these two birds from Washington grabbed Ethel Waters, of the Black Swan Record fame. Soon after they were seen going in the direction of the Standard Theatre, where it was learned later, they picked up Ethel Wilson and her Jazz Hounds.
When these two saps got back to their hostelry, a night letter from "Shrimp" (Alonzo) Collins stated that he had fixed up the necessary details for the appearances of Florence Parhan, Boston Nightingale, late of Nora Bayes Company, Lucille Hegamin of the O. K. Records; Mr. Johnson of the Q. R. S. music rolls and Happy Rhone. All Washington musical satellites are slated to shine out on this occasion. The roster of local Jazz artists includes the following: GERTIE WELLS, featuring BILL BEASLEY, DOC PERRY, LOUIS BROWN, ELMER SNOWDEN, DIAMOND, BOB RAY, DUKE ELLINGTON CAROLINE THORNTON, PEKIN THEATER ORCHESTRA' and BILL BRANSON'S ARCADE BAND. From Baltimore, the following musical organizations will be present; PRESTON DUNCAN'S BAND, of twelve pieces, JAZZELOAS BAND.
As stated above, this affair will be staged at the Convention Hall on the evening of November 25, and it will be under the direction of the Stenographers, Messrs. Collins and Jones; and the Orientals, Messrs. Matthews and Tucker. There will be dancing from 9 to 5. Edgar Martin's Joyland Girls will appear at twelve o'clock sharp.—adv.
Off to a Good Start
The Union Laborers Savings Bank After the usual amount of difficulties, always to be encountered in the organization of new projects, the Union Laborers Savings Bank is at last in position to become a Real Banking Power. This bank, under the management of Mr. J. H. W. Howard, Trustee of "The Culver Plan" (a protected feature of this bank), ably assisted by Mr. L. Melendez King as President and Counsellor, can make for nothing but SUCCESS. There is no reason why this bank with the cooperation and help of the colored people of Washington, should not become as large and as influential as any bank in the District. Why? I'll Tell You. There are upward of fifty banks in
the District, all of which are prospering. OF THESE THERE ARE BUT TWO CONTROLLED BY AND IN THE INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. (Can you see the possibility?)
If only one fourth of the people who read this article will give to this bank the assistance it deserves, it will rival any bank in Washington in one year's time.
Think carefully what this means to YOU. A bank fitted to all of your needs, a place to make your loans, investments, rent your properties, deposit your valuable papers, or even draw your will.
And, last but not least, a place where you may deposit under "The Culver Plan" a budget system of savings.
Seventy-five new accounts have been opened within the last few days under "The Culver Plan" by people who see the necessity of providing against the hour of need which must come to all. The writer of this article, who served as a Major of Engineers during the World's War, and who is now a member of the Engineers Reserve Corps, has personally interviewed the officers of this COMING YOUNG BANK, and takes pleasure in recommending it to the readers of this paper. Ask about the Budget System which provides Insurance for the Uninsurable, and cannot lapse. Get behind this YOUNG GIANT and put it away over the top.
The Union Laborers Savings Bank is located at the corner of Fourteenth and T Streets, N. W., and is in an ideal location for the upbuilding of an enormous banking business. Do the colored people of Washington need and want a real bank of their own? Are they willing to help make it? There is but one answer. The AYES have it, and a motion to make it unanimous is now in order-Adv.

The object of this suit is to reform a deed of trust from Annie Hoffler to Thomas Walker, et al, dated March 16, 1916, recorded August 7, 1916, in Liber 3888, folio 473, one of the Land Records of the District of Columbia, so far as the description of Lot 824 in Square 5869, therein described is concerned by making the same conform to the description of said Lot in a certain deed in fee from John Daggs, et ux, to Cecelia Gant, dated, May 28, 1895, recorded in Liber 2028, Folio 30, one of the Land Records of the District of Columbia, said last mentioned description being as follows

On motion of the complainant, it is this 26th day of Sept. A. D. 1921, ordered that the defendants, the unknown heirs or devisees of Annie Hoffler, deceased cause their appearance to be entered herein on or before the first day occurring after the expiration of three months from this date, otherwise the cause will be proceeded with as in case of default. Provided, a copy of this order be published twice a month for three months in the Washington Law Reporter, and The Washington Tribune before said day.
