The Washington Tribune Lincoln Defeats Howard 13 to 7 All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, NO. 29 Linco FIERCE BATTLE STAGED ON MUD SOAKED FIELD Blue and White Team Unable To Break Up Forward Passes LOST MANY GOOD CHANCES Lincoln Showed More Class On Offensive Playing By H. Scott Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 24—Well, it is all over but the shouting. Amidst a steady downpour and a gridiron ankle deep in mud, the mighty Howard machine that we predicted would be returned winner by at least two touchdowns fell before the mightier aggregation from Lincoln here today by the score of 13 to 7. The score indicates it was a bitterly contested battle, and so it was. But for the first time in two season the locals were outplayed. Had the neld been fast we are at a loss to know what would have happened for the way Lincoln handled the wet ball was remarkable. While on the other hand, Howard's running attack, the chief reliance heretorefuse was unable to get started on the sloppy field. Howard's overhead attack was of no value against the alert secondary defense of the winners therefore only by plunges through the line could Howard advance the ball. There was a high spirit for both teams. The game was a hard and bitter struggle. In the first five minutes however, Howard not being acquainted yet with Lincoln's shift, she jabbed the lines, skirted around the ends, threw complete passes placing the ball for one first down after the other. The Lincoln victory was unexpected; it surprised the entire Lincoln University. After a whole season of success for Howard, Lincoln at least was expecting Howard to make about 3 touchdowns. Early in the first period the Penn-sylvanians on a series of off-tackle and end drives worked the pigskin from the center of the field to Howard's 18-yard line. A well executed pass from Law to Skinker netted the first touchdown an opponent has made against the Blue and White in two years. The psychological effect of this touchdown seemed to spur. Lincoln to hold what it had while it left the Howard players and supporters in a daze wondering and yet knowing how it happened. The Howardites soon struck their stride and in the second period in a number of line plays carried the ball within striking distance of the goal. A penalty for piling up by Lincoln placed the ball on the latter's one-yard line and Payne on the next play carried it over. Brooks did what Law had failed to do kicked goal. Score first half, Howard 7, Lincoln 6. This one point advantage looked good until early in the last period when the feature play of the day was made. Parr made a beautiful 20-yard toss of the oval into the waiting arms of Law who sprinted 25 yards for his team's second touchdown. McClain kicked goal. Following this play Payne brought the spectators to their feet with the longest run of the day a 58-yard dash from the kickoff. Howard rushed the ball to Lincoln's 10-yard line where a penalty for holding probably robbed them of a touchdown. Thereafter Lincoln played a smart defensive game and held the game perfectly safe. Law was the outstanding star both on offense and defense. He ended his football career at Lincoln by playing the greatest game of his career. Parr and Coston were able assistants in the (Continued on page 5) --- The Howard Team and some of the men who fought vainly to stave off defeat and the Lincoln Coach and one of his star backs.

The Ministers Alliance has designated Sunday, December 11, 1921, as a day for sermons upon Negro business; to advise greater support and interest in our Business institutions. This is an example of real constructive leadership. Our Ministers, who are in fact our real leaders, wield more influence with our people than anybody else could possibly do. Of such inestimable value we regard the Ministers' plan of a business man's Sunday—that we have taken the initiative to call together the business men and women at the Office of the Prudential Bank 1320 Yor Street, Wednesday Evening, December 7, at 8 o'clock to devise means to show the appreciation of the Business men and women, and how best to co-operate with the Ministers Alliance to make December 11, 1921 memorable as a Business Men's Day. All business people are urged to be at this meeting, as it is primarily their benefit that the Ministers are putting forth their efforts. Addison N. Scurlock, Raymond H. Murray, R. H. Harrison, J.

LINK JOHNSON TURNED DOWN BY U. S. SENATE Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Presidential appointee for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, failed of confirmation in the United States Senate again Tuesday night by an almost unanimous vote: only one Senator voting in his favor. Senator Tom Watson of Georgia made the principal fight on Johnson, basing the fight principally on the ground that "Link" has been convicted of embezzlement from a client and that he did not repay the money until July of this year. The charges aired before the Senate were not put into the record, as the Senate was in executive session; therefore what transpired behind the closed doors is not fully known. Up to the time of going to press, Mr. Johnson has made no statement as to his position. But it is generally thought by most of the local politicians that this adverse action by the Senate practically eliminates Johnson as a political power and it comes at a time in his life when he can little afford to receive such a defeat. SEEK SUPPORT FOR BILL AIMED TO FREE SOLDIERS A delegation called upon Representative Kahn, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, last Monday to ask him to give his support to the Anthony Bill, introduced in the House last Week, calling on the Secretary of War for information in regard to soldiers under sentence for participation in the Houston, Tex., riot in 1917. Representative Anthony is from Leavenworth, Kansas and his bill is aimed to open the way to the pardoning of the men of the 24th Infantry who are now incarcerated the Leavenworth prison. Many of these men are held in prison on very slight evidence and in most cases just for being absent from roll call on the night of the riot. The delegation calling on Rep. Kahn which was composed of Rev. E. D. W. Jones, Rev. Wm. Battle and Wm. O. Walker of The Tribune, was assured by Rep. Kahn that he would do all in his power to have the bill reported out favorably by his committee so that it could come before the house for action. Rep. Kahn spoke very favorably of the imprisoned soldiers and his statement clearly showed that he would favor the pardoning of these men. The delegation after its interview with Rep. Kahn, called upon Rep. Anthony of Kansas the author of the bill, and thanked him for his efforts on behalf of the men and assured him that the race would greatly appreciate what assistance he could give toward getting a pardon for them. He replied by saying that he thoroughly believed these men were convicted on insufficient—mainly circumstantial—evidence; and he desires to see all of them given their liberty. The bill as introduced by him fol- The bill as introduced by him follows: Resolution Resolved, That the Secretary of War is requested to transmit to the House of Representatives at the earliest possible moment the following information for the Members of the House: Whether the evidence before the court which tried those soldiers of the United States Army who were alleged to have been implicated in the riot at Houston, Texas, on the 23rd day of August, 1917, as a result of which nineteen were hanged, sixty- (Continued on page 8) Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS DR. WOODSON DEFENDS RACE AGAINST ATTACK OF WHITE PROF. Tells President of Randolph- Macon College Moton's Leadership False RAGE SEEKS CIVIL RIGHTS Speech Came as Climax to Most Successful Session in History Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 21—The sensation of the Sixth Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History which convened in Lynchburg last week, proved to be the address of Dr. E. B. Crooks, President of Randolph-Macon College, a white institution near Lynchburg. In his address, Dr. Crooks used the President's speech at Birmingham and endorsed the stand on the question of social equality and racial amalgamation recently taken by President Harding. Dr. Crooks advised the audience of nearly one thousand of the leading colored citizens of Lynchburg to "develop a self-respect" and to recognize the "impossible gulf that forever separates the Negro from the whites." "Every colored man or woman who cultivates a little flower garden and paints the fence in front of his home is helping the race by this visible evidence of self respect," continued the worthy Doctor. "Ask your leaders if I am not right on this score. Ask Dr. Moton. I am sure that he will agree with me." At the conclusion of the address as Dr. C. G. Woodson, Director of the Association rose to make reply, a breathless silence fell upon the great gathering. Speaking clearly slowly and in a most emphatic manner, the Director opened his remarks by stating first that he wanted to give Dr. Crooks a little information on the Negro question. He then proceeded to enlighten the worthy Doctor to the effect that neither President Harding or any other white man could speak for Negroes because they did not know what Negroes were thinking about; secondly, he stated very decidedly that neither was Robert Russia Moton in a position to speak for Negroes because his so-called leadership had long since been repudiated by all intelligent and self-respecting Negroes. "My dear Sir," continued Dr. Woodson, "you and all white men have the wrong conception of what Negroes mean by social equality. We are not seeking to marry white women, red women, yellow women, or any other color of women; but we do want to ride decently in a railroad train or street car when we come into your State of Virginia. We do want the right to go to the polls and exercise our constitutional right to vote and to hold office; we do want the privilege of sitting where we please in theatres, railroad stations and other places of public assembly. And for these rights the Negro intends to fight—until he dies." According to officials of the Association, the Conference which has just been concluded has been the most successful in the annals of the Association. Fully three thousand persons attended the various sessions during the two days of the Conference. Scholars and students of history, white and colored, assembled from all parts of the country to take part in the proceedings. Several prominent white Southerners were present, including Col. Robert T. Kerlin, who was recently dismissed from a professorship at the Virginia Military Institute because of a letter written in behalf of the Negroes who are under death sentence in Arkansas on account of alleged participation in the (Continued to Page 8) 2 THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE II. By Herbert J. Seligmann (This is the second of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America," publicity director of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Washington has become an international bargain counter. The agents of European governments and of the United States are there trying to arrange to make Asia, that is China and Siberia, pay for Europe's bankruptcy. Two of the chief European powers were not invited to Washington. They are Russia and Germany. The other governments, with the assistance of the United States, blockaded Russia and deprived her of the materials she needed to provide work for her people. Now famine and disease is laying waste vast territories in Russia and people are killing their own children to prevent their having to starve to death. Hordes of men, women and children are wandering in awful wretchedness over the Russian plains. This is what the governments of France and Great Britain aided by the Governments of Japan and the United States helped to do to Russia. They did it chiefly because French bankers wanted to be repaid the loans they made to the rotten despotism of the now departed Czar's government. Germany is burdened with an enormous indemnity which her people have to pay to the victors in the war. But those victors want to kill the cow for meat and still get milk from that cow. They, and especially France, want to crush Germany and still have her pay for the cost of war damages. What has all this to do with the Armament Conference? Simply this, that that part of Europe, namely Germany and Russia, which ought to be furnishing the world with vast stores of grain and other foods, which ought to be busy manufacturing its own products and exchanging them for the products of other countries, is rapidly becoming a hideous wreck. And so, instead of trying with every resource at their command to help Russia and Germany to their feet, the other governments of the world are looking for new fields to plunder. Those fields lie in China and Siberia. Before the great war even, almost every government of Europe had made inroads on China. Those inroads consisted in "concessions," or "spheres of influence" generally centering in some "treaty port." Great Britain in the Chinese city of Hong Kong and France in what is now called Indo China, acquired the right to have their own courts and even their own police and post offices. Germany had "leased" the city of Tsing-Tao in the province of Shan Tung and Japan during the war captured Tsing Tao and took over the lease which, translated into English means stole the territory. Japan had previously, after the Russo Japanese war, acquired Manchuria and half the island of Saghalin from Russia. Moreover, Japan rules over the Koreans. Every one of these robber governments kept protesting that they wanted the "Open Door" in China, which means that all citizens are to be accorded equal opportunities to trade there. In practice, however, each government made it practically impossible for the citizens of other governments to do business in its "sphere of interest." And so the scramble for concessions became keener and more intense. Any government whose bankers own the rights to a railway line any where in China, can control the territory adjacent to that railway line, whether the rails are laid or not. So the diplomats, the ambassadors and ministers, instead of being servants of the people in their countries, become agents of the bankers who exert control over the governments. And, in great part at least, the world is threatened with the disaster of further war, and the wiping out of civilization, because bankers are scrambling for railways in China. If proof were needed that our own Department of State acts as an agent for bankers, it could be found in the following paragraph from the New York Times of November 7, 1921. "China has failed to meet payments of principal and interest on the loan due the Continental and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, due to have been paid October 31. This default has created a very unfavorable impression in official and banking circles in the United States, as well as abroad, according to information obtained in an authoritative quarter tonight, and has been made the occasion of a sharp note from Secretary Hughes to the Peking Government, calling its attention most seriously to its responsibilities and obligations in the matter." The interest of the United States is involved in this scramble. This country too, has to look for new sources of raw materials and new markets to sell her goods in. Europe cannot buy from us. Europe is rotten with bankruptcy. I heard the other day of a ship captain who brought a cargo to New York from Scotland. He is taking his vessel back to Scotland empty. There are others like him. The United States has a good excuse for being interested in the Pacific Ocean. It now owns the Philippine Islands which are much nearer to Japan and China than they are to the United States. It does not want Japan to have that cable, center in the Pacific Ocean, the Island of Yap, or to take any part of the Pacific coast line of Mexico, or Central or South America.

Toil on; stand firm; weep strong; There are other complications. During the world war, Great Britain had a secret treaty with Japan. Japan's navy held down the German "commerce raiders" or war cruisers in the Pacific. Japanese war ships conveyed British troops. Japan was Great Britain's guaranty against revolution in India by keeping Great Britain's lines of communication open to the Far East. But now the war is over. Great Britain is grateful to Japan for her services but— But the United States government wants to know if the secret treaty between Great Britain and Japan is going to go on. Furthermore the British dominion of Australia, being nearer to Asia than to Europe is becoming apprehensive over the growing power of the "darker races," especially Japan. They are talking about a "white Australia" and are appealing to the United States to help them, or rather their government is. Great Britain therefore has not yet renewed the secret treaty with Japan, which has another year to run. The United States does not want it renewed, neither does Australia. Those objections are too powerful to be ignored—openly. Meanwhile, the French government is offering to play with the United States if the United States will "guarantee" France against Germany. In other words if we will help France to rob Europe, France will help us to rob China. This is a very brief statement of some of the considerations involved in the Armament Conference in Washington. What is the conclusion? That there will be more hideous war unless the following reforms are attempted: 1. Europe cleans house and European governments and the United States Department of State stop lying about Russia and help the Russian people to get to work producing food. 2. Public opinion forces international relations cut into the open, out of the hands of bankers scrambling for railroads in China, out of the hands of the agents of bankers, the old-school diplomats, into the hands of representatives of the people. One of the chief hopes of the world just now is H. G. Wells, the English novelist and historian who is reporting the Washington Conference for the New York World. Perhaps Mr. Wells can rouse public opinion so it will demand that the peoples of the world get together and make an end to bankers' power and the implements of bankers; armies and navies.

GROUND BROKEN FOR HAMPTON ATHLETIC FIELD GROUND BROKEN FOR HAMPTON ATHLETIC FIELD Hampton, Va., Nov.—Ground has been broken for the new athletic field of Hampton Institute. Graduates and former students are raising money to construct and equip this up-to-date field under the leadership of the Hampton Alumni Association, founded 43 years ago. Hamptonians everywhere are enthusiastic over the construction of the field, which will be one of the finest in the country. It will be equipped with grandstand, quarter-mile track, 220-yard straightaway, football and baseball fields. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, and George J. Davis, Hampton 74, broke ground for the new field. E. L. Dabney, one of Hampton's football stars, loaded the first scraper. Representatives from the several R. O. T.

A NEW STORY WRITER Mrs. Birdie Gilmore of New York City was a recent visitor in the city as the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Eva D. Sims of 1218 R Street, N. W. Mrs. Gilmore is a writer. The April issue of The Billboard, a theatrical newspaper (white) which has the largest circulation of any theatrical paper in the world, published an article concerning this young colored woman. The article says: "Birdie Gilmore, a recently discovered literary genius, has written a most unique story for the Metro Company and also another well known corporation. The story is entitled, 'The Jungle God.' While the story is thrilling and filled with tense situations, these situations are so logically developed that it is an appeal to one's intelligence as well as to the emotions. It is invested with distinctly race atmosphere yet it contains no grounds for antagonism. This evidence of approval by two such discriminating concerns should pretty firmly establish Birdie Gilmore as a story writer." WAS THIS YOUR BOY? The other day a boy rushed into a cafe and said: "I want to be waited on!" "Just wait a minute there are others before you—" "I don't have to wait, I'll go down to the white man's store." Mothers, was this your boy? Are you teaching your child a bit of race pride along with a dash of personal pride, or are you just letting him drift along with no guiding hand upon his shoulder? This boy would not have been called a hoodlum but there are many so-called hoodlums who seem to have more-pride than those we are apt not to call hoodlums. Phone North 6554-W JOHN M.

Adams A few years ago the attention of Mr. Nicholas deVore, the editorial mentor of the University Society in New York was called to certain treatment which had been accorded the Negro musician in their publication called MODERN MUSIC AND MUSICIANS, which had been formerly edited by the late Mr. Louis C. Elson of Boston. Mr. deVore took the matter in hand with such characteristic definiteness that the next issue contained several radical changes, including a very sympathetic tribute to the work of Coleridge Taylor, and a mention of a number of prominent contemporary Afro-American composers. The progressive spirit Mr. deVore manifested prompted us to seek an interview with him on this subject. also with one of his associates in order to learn further regarding his musical activities in general. At the National Academy of Music in Carnegie Hall, New York, the educational foundation of which he is the president, he was found surrounded with a multitude of editorial projects which he had in hand and yet he is never too busy to stop and chat with any musician who comes in to consult with him. They seek his professional advice on almost every question under the sun: music teachers, college presidents, supervisors with school music problems, the concert artist with his hopes to attain and tangles to unravel, aspiring students, rising composers. To these he is a con- HAIR CULTURIST Mrs. M. E. Perry Don't worry about your Hair, thinking it won't grow. It will grow. I have in your city grown hair when others failed.

During a number of active years, Mr. deVore, a native of Ohio, and product of some four generations of American ancestors, has been a critic and writer on many subjects, the editor of several magazines, a composer, a conductor, teacher of music, pianist, organist and choirmaster—and during his most recent association with The University Society has edited several large music works; such as, Modern Music and Musicians, for pianists, in ten volumes; the same for vocalists in ten volumes; The World's Best Music in ten volumes; the same in Spanish for Latin-America, called La Major Musica del Mundo; besides the three thousand page text-work on piano, The University Course of Music Study, the greatest standardizing influence in music educational circles of the present decade. As editor of this work Mr. deVore enjoyed the collaboration of Rudolph Ganz, Edwin Hughes, Kate S. Chittenden and thirty of the foremost educators of the country. It is the most extensive text-work on the Technic of Piano playing and the Interpretation of Music which has yet found its way into print, and it is rapidly becoming the standard basis of instruction and examination in studios, schools, conservatories and colleges in all parts of the United States. It must have been a colossal task. These are only the high lights of an activity which has embraced a myriad of lesser projects. Mr. deVore is an enthusiastic yachtsman and has frequently sailed over the whole length of Long Island Sound. He is a moving spirit in the Bayside Yacht Club and in his home community even to supplying the best choir in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island in All Saints' Church, Bayside. He is also an active member of the City Club, of New York. He was recently asked by a prominent musical publication for his advice as to drawing the color line in musical affairs. "I believe in drawing the color line," he said, "I know of music which contains lots of blue notes and purple chords written by folks who ought to know better. I know of some music which affects me about like a red rag to a bull. There is some so-called music which tastes to me more like pink tea, and which is written by greenhorns who think they are real 'he-men.' Many are the black marks for music writing which ought to go down against many otherwise white men, and I can see only a gold star when I read the music of some men who otherwisely are called black men, but who to me are red-blooded and white-souled, whose music many musicians are too 'yellow' to risk championing. However, in this also I am a little queer; I judge a musician by the music that comes out of him, not by what the music comes out of. I saw a little violin piece the other day by Clarence Cameron White which I was proud of; and often I find Harry Burleigh saying something of which many a snobish white man might be glad to have said, 'Gee, I wish I had said that!'—as did Oscar Wilde of a line by Ruskin, to which Whistler promptly replied, "Never mind, Oscar; you will one day." "And when he played this little piece by Clarence Cameron White," his friend Roderick White, the violinist with whom he had played it, latter added: "deVore said, my that is well done; I'd rather like to shake him by the hand and tell him so." In the words of another of his associates: "This is the fearless attitude of a man who is bound by no superstitions or prejudices, who is beloved by all those who know him intimately—and is almost hated by some of those who know him but slightly, or who are not strong enough to stand the truth, even though they know his unselfish effort to help them and others is the big outstanding feature of his career. But his friendliness is by no means confined to his friends, and all alike pay him the homage of respect for his sincerity, his tolerance and his achievements.

He is also President of the Beta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity located at Howard University, Washington, D. C. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDO-LENCE MARJORY GRIFFITH EVANS The following resolutions were passed Sunday night by the Peoples Congregational Church. Whereas, With our limited knowledge of the plans of God, we fail at times to fully comprehend the purposes of the sorrows with which we are inflicted; and A call is issued for a meeting of race leaders and representatives of race organizations at Washington, D.C., Thursday and Friday, December 8 and 9, 1921. The object of this meeting is to call the attention of the Arms Conference to the world-wide disabilities under which we as a people suffer. We all remember the strenuous but unsuccessful efforts that were made by the various Negro organizations in America to have their representatives attend the World's Peace Conference held at Versailles, France, about two years ago. No one was able to go except Mr. Trotter, who finally succeeded in reaching the Conference by acting as a cook on the liner Yarmouth and traveling without a passport. Now in the Providence of God a world conference, which promises far more successful results than came from the Versailles meeting, is in session right at our very door. The Jews have already arranged to have their grievances stated and to ask for relief because of the proscription under which they suffer throughout the entire world. Shall we, as a people, who far outnumber the Jews in the world, allow this God-sent opportunity to pass from us unimproved? Let us come together at Washington on December 8 and 9, 1921, and lay our cause before the delegates of this Arms Conference. It is an opportunity which has never been given to us before and let us be broad enough to mention not merely the difficulties under which the American Negroes suffer but let us also plead for our brethren in Africa, who, are under European control and in the islands of the sea, and who are completely barred from Australia. In South Africa under British rule, the Negroes are compelled to walk in Whereas, The hand of violence seems to fall indiscriminately and with equal force upon the good and true as upon the evil and untrue; and, Whereas, Our hearts are often saddened by the trials through which we are called to pass and the bright sun of hope seems hidden from our view by the dark clouds of depression; and, Whereas, We may not now realize why the beautiful life of Marjory Griffith Evans, which was yet in the full bloom of early womanhood and fraught with bright prospects of future happiness, was permitted to be so suddenly and sadly terminated, and, Whereas, We may not clearly understand why destroyers of life and culminators of innocence and virtue are permitted to escape just and merited punishment; yet be it Resolved, That the mysterious ways of God are past finding out and that all He does is for the best. Resolved, That we, having full faith in the ultimate supremacy of righteousness and justice and in the fulfillment of the promises of God, believe that the determination of a life so gentle and exemplary as we know was that of Marjory Griffith Evans, was but God's plan to take her from the trials and vicissitudes of this life into a grander and more glorious life with Him. Resolved, That we, the companions of her youth, fellow members of her church, her associates and friends, keenly feel our loss, but bow in humble submission to the will of God, notwithstanding that we know her life was unpainted and her reputation and virtue unpainted. Resolved, That as God has said that "Vengeance is mine," He will in His own time mete out full punishment to all evil doers and to Him we leave our cause. Resolved, That our sympathy goes out in full tide to the bereaved mother spiritual welfare of the bereft child and kindred and the material and will always have our deepest solicitude and concern. Done by the officers and members of the Peoples' Congregational Church, this twentieth day of November, 1921. W. J. Brown and O. T. Burrell were recently on a hunting trip. Burrell became so enthusiastic that he ran overboard. No serious results. The local lodge, 34 of P. P. B. A.; held a well attended meeting at the Y. M. C. A., Tuesday night.

They are totally disfranchised and are compounded. Mr. Solomon T. Plaatje, of the Transvaal South African colony, and Dr. Holder of Haiti, are already here as delegates to this conference. It will be a free, open discussion of matters which are of vital importance to the race. The great associations such as the N. A. A. C. P., the N. E. R. L., the N. R. C., who are working for the improvement of our condition, and our preachers, educators, newspaper representatives, social and Y workers, are all especially invited. Let us come together and show by specific data the political, educational, civic and economic disadvantages under which we labor. The men who are calling this meeting are not seeking any personal prominence, but are rather laboring for the sole purpose of appealing to the conscience of the world. All who come will be given opportunity to discuss freely the matters that are paramount in the life of our people. The meeting will be held in the spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M Street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth Streets, Northwest. This call is issued under the authority of the committee of seven of Washington, D. C. Address all inquiries to C. M.

The information has just reached Dunbar that the name of Miss Elizabeth West, 1920, appeared on the Honor Roll of Wellesley College announced at Chapel Sunday, November 13. This is an indication of the splendid work done in Miss West's first year at Wellesley. Miss Charlotte West, 1920 received a grade of A in Latin at her college, the Woman's College of Brown University. BELL'S TEA ROOM Notre Devise: "Servi 1928 9th Street, N. W.

BLACK FACE COMEDIANS ARE FAST BECOMING OBNOXIOUS SIGHTS Many Patrons will Accept them on Their Face Value Not so long ago, while witnessing a vaudeville bill, consisting of about six acts, each of which included at least one burnt cork or black face artist, the writer, seated within hearing distance of two patrons, heard them freely express themselves upon the monotonousness of some of the entertainments that are being offered by some of our black-face comedians of today. According to one of the patrons, there are entirely too many acts that are alike. At any rate, after much jabbering, they finally agreed that black-face comedians, playing to colored audiences, are rapidly becoming obnoxious. One of the critics said. "If it is possible for some of our colored performers to entertain persons of the other race who regard us as being grotesque enough without being required to smear up our faces, why then can't we accept our own performers upon their 'face' value?" THE BLAZING TRAIL PACKS THE JEWEL Frank Mayo, in the "Blazing Trail," an interesting story of life in a mountain wilderness, was the feature attraction at the Jewel Theatre last Sunday evening. Notwithstanding the early opening hour that is announced for Sunday, it was necessary to run several extra shows to accommodate anxious patrons. Many persons, who live in other sections of the city are regular patrons of the Jewel and judging from the class of photo-play features that are offered there by Mr. Wiley Davis, the general manager, they are well repaid for their trouble. Mr. Davis came to this city a few years ago and has had quite a successful career. He is widely popular in fraternal circles. He is ably assisted by his son, who is an efficient projectionist and a student at the Armstrong Manual Training School. EDGAR MARTIN'S PLAYERS HOLD FORTH AT FORAKER Edgar Martin's Joyland aggregation according to Foraker patrons, is one of the most versatile group of entertainers that has struck Washington for a long time. They have completely taken the Foraker by storm. Leon Diggs, the silver-toned tenor is one of the latest additions. Edgar's Joyland Girls are one of the featured attractions at the Big "After Thanksgiving" Dance. St. Augustine Lawrenceville, Va., Nov. 10—In one of the hardest fought, cleanest and most thrilling gridiron battles of the year, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School defeated St. Augustine's 'ool, her greatest opponent, here to-day, by the score of 7 to 0. Wilberforce defeats Ky. State Normal Wilberforce, Ohio.—Using a bewildering aerial attack intermingled with trick formation and straight football, Wilberforce defeated the rugged Kentucky State Normal eleven by a score of 33 to 7. The game was played in a drizzling rain on a soggy field, and perfect footing was well nigh impossible, but despite that, many thrilling and humorous incidents were furnished, with both teams sharing the honors of being the "great." Wilberforce's green jerseys were identical with those of Kentucky and this greatly helped to confuse the players; on more than one occasion the quarterbacks of both teams deliberately threw forward passes into the waiting arms of their rivals and in each instance the player who caught the ball would dash down the field for twenty or thirty yards, only to be viciously tackled from the rear in a sea of soft mud, which would splatter and bring forth wild shouts, hearty laughter and applause from the 2,000 spectators. "Red" Garvin played the game of his life for Wilberforce during the first half and appeared to be the only one able to gain consistently. The entire team played together like clock work. Leading in the attack were Huff, the dashing fullback who last year was starring at Fisk, Mumford, Hurd and Sedwick. This quartette paved the way to most of the scores. BY RIGHT OF BIRTH DRAWS RECORD CROWDS TO DUNBAR College Store Co.

This is one of the best examples of what is possible to be attained by Negroes in the world of photoplays. The story is indeed interestingly portrayed. It is far above any thing in the race picture line that has been seen here. It is really a classic. CLARENCE BROOKS MOVIE STAR VISITS D. C. On Way to Howard-Lincoln Game Clarence Brooks, star of "By Right of Birth," and well known here, was a pleasant caller at the Tribune Office last Tuesday. He is making a business trip to New York City. He will also be an interested spectator at the Howard-Lincoln game in Phila. A Race Pageant The Pageant staged at 71st Regiment Armory (N. Y.) since the first of the month presenting a different nationality each night, reached Negro night November 10th. Jesse Shipp, the noted producer, presented 175 mixed amateurs and professionals in a series of tableaux relating to the history of the race in America. Alice Ross was the leader of a fifty-piece orchestra and the program included compositions by Harry Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett, and J. Rosamond Johnson. Negro night was considered a distinct success. Chas. S. Gilpin was to have been an honor guest but was unable to attend. THE NEW CABARET (By Quentin) For an enjoyable evening step in the Dreamland Cabaret, hear the red hot staff of entertainers, under the diction of general Charles Johnson. Mr. B. S.

"Loot" Roberts also did good work on defense, tackling with neatness and keeping the play well in bounds throughout. Magee playing a roving center was a terror, while Huff frequently broke through the Southerners' defense and blocked kicks one of which was recovered by Magee on the 10-yard line and which resulted in ar immediate touchdown. Kentcky 0 7 0 0—7 Wilberforce 7 0 13 13—33 TEDDY BEARS DEFEAT PIEDMONTS. 13 TO 0 Sunday found a large crowd out in Brightwood waiting to see a game of football that was scheduled to start at 2:30 but did not commence until two hours later. The Bears started off as if to make hash of the Piedmonts, scoring at once, Ben Fells ran a punt back 15 yards, Payne threw a forward pass to Steward, for a gain of 25 or 30 yards from where Capt. Burrell hit the line for the touchdown. Ben Fells missed goal. The Piedmonts got themselves together and it was a hard fought game for the 2nd and 3rd periods. The Bears opened up their attack again in the final quarter. "Duck" and Dick Fells opened holes in the Piedmonts line and Capt. Burrell and J. Tatum just walked through. A trick play by Payne netted about 30 yards to the six yard line and J. Tatum plunged through tackle for the touchdown. Duck Fells kicked goal. Capt. Burrell, Ben. Fells and Duck Fells were the stars for the Bears; while Capt. Hamilton could not be stopped. He played a wonderful game for the Piedmonts.

GERTIE MONK'S SIX JAZZ JIGGS TO APPEAR NOV. 30 The colored jazz combination that won its recent fame at the National Jazz Contest at Music Academy, Philadelphia, played to an audience of 3,000 people last Wednesday night at Pittsburgh, Pa. Half of the patrons who filled the gigantic hall were white, due to the wide publicity given to this orchestra thru the daily papers in and about Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other eastern cities. This newly famed combination which is termed by everyone as the "greatest yet" is scheduled to appear at the Murray Casino on Wednesday night, November 30, featuring the same jazz program that won the National contest prize in Philadelphia.—adv. Y. W. C. A. HOW WILL THE CHALLENGE BE ANSWERED? In a few days Washington will go down in history as having, or not having Negro men and women who are willing to back the girlhood and womanhood of the Negro race. The challenge has come thru the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. to every race-loving man or woman to show their real interest by supporting a $200,000 building which was given entirely by War Work Council. Men, women of Washington are you going to let the prophecy of peoples all over the country—white and black—come true? that Washingtonians will not keep this trust which is committed to them? Must it be said of us that we are still willing to class ourselves in a class of paupers—ever ready to receive, never to give? MEN'S DAY AT ASBURY M. E CHURCH A BRILLIANT SUCCESS Many Representatives from other Churches Present Honorable Perry W. Howard spoke at the Asbury M. E. Church, at 3:30, on Sunday, Nov. 13th, 1921 on "Race Interests." The Church was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers for the occasion. The programme by the men's club, under the leadership of President A. W. Dangerfield and T. Coaplin, Chairman of the Committee, observing Men's Day, was a very enjoyable one and a variation from the usual service. The male chorus under the direction of Prof. R. W. Johnson and Mrs. E. V. Jarvis, as organist, was at its best and special mention on all sides is being heard concerning it. Mr. J. Finley Wilson also spoke at the meeting. The sermon by Dr. O'Connell at the 11 o'clock service was a master piece and together with the music from the male chorus and a solo effectively rendered by Mr. Perry Hall, made up a splendid morning meeting. The afternoon exercises were added to by contributions from the following artists: Vocal solos by Mr. S. W. Waters and Mr. E. E. Ayers; a violin solo by Mr. Allen Sprague, and a clarinet solo by Mr. Percy Roy. The speaker for the afternoon was introduced by Mr. S. L. McLauren. The six-thirty service was addressed by Mr. J. A. Smith and Mr. Wills of Howard University. Each address was exceptionally good. A rousing SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 SOCIETY money left the ital trip to MEETINGS ment Store take this op- maker and the the successful our Liberty o rock bot- song service under the direction of Messrs.

Jackson, who was supported by musical contributions in the form of music from the male chorus, and solos by Mr. C. S. Beale and Mr. Perry Hall. The exercises throughout the day were a marked success.

DUNBAR 13—CHEYNEY 6 On Monday Nov. 21—Dunbar High met and defeated the Cheyney Normal School of Cheyney, Pa., in a football battle at American League Park. The first half of the game was all Dunbar's tho not without question and the period ended Dunbar 13—Cheyney 0. When the second half opened, Dunbar was comparatively weaker through numerous substitutions and a few injuries; and coupled with this was the great fighting spirit instilled into the visitors between halves which proved enough to enable Cheyney to score, the failing to kick goal. From then on it was all Cheyney. The one Dunbar feature of the half was a wonderful exhibition of holding when Cheyney had the ball a half yard from Dunbar's goal line, at which time the Home team was as 'impregnable as a stone wall. The only thing that saved Cheyney from scoring again was the time-keepers whistle. The sloppy field marred what might have been a fast game. On Monday( the 28th, Dunbar and Armstrong will meet in their annual contest at American League Park. Sidelights on the Mud Festival (Continued from page 1) ese delegation to the Arms Conference were interested spectators. J. Arthur (Jack) Johnson entertained several friends at the Hotel Dale. He is playing at Gibson's Standard. Newspaper correspondents for the Chicago Defender, Pittsburg Courier and Philadelphia papers covered the game. Kean, Howard's midget quarter-back was the hero of the day. Howard's band of 50 pieces played to the delight of all. Hotels and cafes apparently had made no preparations for the vast hordes. Hot dog joints reaped harvests. Many visitors witnessed "Emperor Jones" at the Walnut Street theatre after the game. Mr. Gilpin will be the honor guest of the citizens of Philadelphia Friday evening. According to the grounds-keeper, 8000 persons witnessed the game. When the Howard boys lost the game, likewise, the Howard rooters lost their appetites: turkey dinners went a begging. The box seats, being uncovered, were occupied by only those who wanted to show their distinction, in being the holders of such seats. It is absolutely impossible to mention who was "among those those present." Persons in all walks of life were included in the frantic masses. Kelly Miller, Jr., attracted much attention during and after the game by displaying a sign on his back stating that he had walked from New York City (98 miles) to help root for Howard his Alma Mater. His wet muddy, beddragged condition verified his claim. ADDENDA After the game there was a dance at the New Garrick Hall, and another at the Second Regiment Armory Hall. There were many in attendance at both functions. At the New Garrick Hall, Capt. Fuller of Howard presented a gold football to the captain of the Lincoln team, Captain Law. He was not pres- ent, but the souvenir was accepted by a man in his stead to be presented to Captain Law at a later date. Captain Fuller said in part: "I present this to the victorious team with sorrow and regret but as a special commendation for your hard-won victory, I present you this medal of honor." Prof. Metz T. C. Lochard presented the Howard banner on the part of the student body of Howard to the Howard football squad. Mr. Longmire, conducted this exercise. At 7:30 o'clock at the Hotel Dale, there was a luncheon given in honor of Mr. Emmason Fuller, Captain of Howard's squad, by his aunt, Mrs. Emma J. Berry of New Haven, Connecticut. Those present were: Dr. and Mrs. Leslie Pinkney Hill, of Cheyney school; Miss Clarice J. Fuller (his sister); Mr. Chas. Router, Syracuse, N. Y.; Mr. Frederick D. Fuller, Jr.; Mr. Leo. S. Holton; and Mrs. Edwin Goin, of New Haven. G. W.

The ban on Carter was lifted by the faculty before the game and for the first time this season he appeared in the lineup. He clearly showed he has lost none of his prowess. Doneghey, Howard's offensive star in all previous games was forced to retire in the first period because of injuries, it could be clearly seen however, the short time he was in there that the footing was not to his liking. Payne came into the spotlight more than once with sparkling plays. Capt. Fuller's work was steady and reliable. GEORGETOWN NOTES There were 8,000 people in the park to be eye witnesses to the great clash. While the rain continuously fell, throngs poured into the entrances. The excellent display of Howard colors, the pepy yells, the inspiring strains that came from the Rabble, and the snappy band selections inspired courage and energy in the teams to battle on muddy and watery field fo ra victory. At the close of the second quarter, first half, Lincoln marched out on the field in their serpent dance, led by the band; followed by the Howard Rabble and band headed by Dean G. W. Cook.

The waiting rooms, crowded to their capacity, presented a motley aspect as the great masses of the wearers of the Blue and White of old Howard and the Gold and Blue of Lincoln surged to and fro.

A considerable bit of fore-sight was displayed by many, when the registers of the hotels showed that hundreds had made reservations several months ago. Hotels and eat-shops—most of them unprepared for the on-slaught—surely had much for which to be thankful. It was an awful day for the skirmish. Jupiter Pluvius pulled the stoppers out of all his rain-barrels, but the enthusiastic rooters raved on. The grandstands were filled with hundreds of damsels and chaperons who were good to look at. They came from everywhere to lend beauty and splendor to the occasion. Judging from the appearance of the majority who made up this vast course, there must have been much doing in the realms of the modistes and the shops of the cutters of garments for men. Everybody was togged to the height of fashion. Squirrel coats, being much in evidence. Though the day was cold and dreary there was an air of congeniality that permeated the whole place. Even the bronze figure of William Penn, which tops the tower of the City Hall, seemed to extend the hearty greetings of the City of Brotherly Love... But the story of the game—it is too sad for a merry andrew like me. I have not the heart to tell it. Friend Scott, our sport scribe, will break it gently to you. The funeral services of Thomas Perry, aged 77, an old resident of Georgetown, were held at Mount Zion Church last Sunday. Mr. Perry was a member of the order of Good Samaritans and he was also a Grand Army man. He was known to be the oldest grave-digger in this section of the country. The annual sermon to the Western Star Lodge, No. 55, Ancient Order of Moses, was preached last Sunday. It was delivered at the Mt. Zion M. E. Church by Rev. Abert J. Mitchell, pastor. This event marked the 53rd anniversary of the tabernacle. Mr. Jerry Jackson, Worthy Superior, Mrs. Mayme Newman, W. V., Mrs. Martha Onley, Mistress of Ceremonies.

W. --- A Christmas Gift IN A MILLION HOMES EYES AND THOUGHTS ARE NOW TURNED TOWARD CHRISTMAS. The foremost thought in every mind, the paramount hope in every heart is to make some one happier. This all pervading desire at Christmas to add to human happiness finds universal expression in giving presents—some good, some indifferent and some positively injurious. 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.

In some future age it may be. Now it will not be,—not quite dis-armament. Yet even now there may be a lessening, a limitation, of armaments. And so far as that goes it will be so much relief. Does the citizen realize that every time he pays one dollar to this government, eighty-eight cents of it goes as tribute or as a sacrifice to War? Every time our "billion dollar government" spends a billion, eight hundred and eighty millions of the sum go into the mouth of Mars. What, then, if we got rid of war and all its exactions? It may help us on the road toward the Golden Age of Peace, if we will but think over what would be our blessed state if only we could arrive. If the United States of America could be rid of its war burdens, the following three things could be done and happen all at once: 1. The salaries and wages of all Federal officers and employees could be doubled, from the President on down to the janitor of the post office at Slocum, Alabama. All the tens and tens of thousands of government employees could get just twice as much pay. All the sinicurists might get twice as much "easy money" and all the grafters twice as much graft. For every dollar that is now wasted, two dollars might be wasted, and mail thieves and other thieves might steal just twice as much: and yet 2. TAXES COULD BE CUT HALF IN TWO. People who now pay a thousand dollar Federal tax, could pay only five hundred; and people who pay fifty dollars, could pay twenty-five; and yet 3. The Federal Government would have more money than it could use or know what to do with. For every dollar spent, wasted and stolen, there would be another dollar added to the burdens of the treasury department. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 And the most serious financial problem before the Congress would be, what to do with the extra money. This extra money could give every child in the United States an education from the kindergarten thru the university. And yet all this is not going to happen, not soon,—for our fathers have been so selfish that they have burdened us with the costs of past wars; and we, sons of our fathers, are so selfish that we burden ourselves and mortgage the life of our posterity by the threat of future wars. And yet it is well to consider what might have been and what may be. The vision may gradually lead us on. POTOMAC INVESTMENT GO.

The Cake Walk Noble Sissle, one of the principals in "Shuffle Along" company, gives some light on the cake walk. He says the cake walk is a dance of the ante bellum days, its steps are a cross between a shamble and a strut. The modern cake walk is grace, poise suppleness, devoid of suggestive and indelicacy. In olden times, there was more dignity. It was more of a walk or promenade. The cake walk was first featured in a show entitled "South Before the War" in 1900. Then Luke Reilly and Ben Butler produced it for Powers and Kennedy at Madison Square Garden (N. Y.). It proved a riot. It became the rage of America and was introduced in all attractions. Williams and Walker with Ada Overton featured it. New York and London society took it up being first introduced by Hill* and Hill who toured the world, billed as the champion cake walker.

CHILDREN'S PAGE By C. Leslie Frazier THE PRIZE WINNERS Please write all communications plainly, giving your name, age, address and school class. Address your letters to "Children's Page, The Washington Tribune, Washington, D. C." Winners' names appear two weeks after puzzles appear and the answers are always given the following week after the puzzles appear. If you answer only one question in history or solve one puzzle, send it in. Five moving picture theatre tickets are given away every week. Two to the "Honor Child" (the child sending in the greatest number of correct answers) and one each to the three children sending the next highest number of correct answers. Call at the Tribune office for your tickets. When a child has ever become an "Honor Child" his or her name will be preceded by a star whenever the name appears again on this page. PRIZE WINNERS "Honor Child": Annette E. Hawkins. "Specials": *Mary A. Thomas; Doris H. Tuckson, *Olga Beckwith. Remarks I am glad so many children send in solutions. Keep it up. There are several who send in answers each week but who fail to reach the goal. I must compliment them for their sincere attempts and their determination. I hope you will soon become "Honor Children" or "Specials." Don't lose courage. The race is to those who plod and have faith. Through the last letter from *Mary Thomas, our first "Honor Child," I find she is a 9-A grade scholar at Junior High instead of 4-A as stated November 5. I apologize, little lady. I would suggest that you keep a copy of the answers you send in to the Page. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: My name is Annette Hawkins. I am 13 and in first year High.

THANKSGIVING I thank, Thee, oh, God, for the pride that I have; A pride that is honest and true: A pride in myself for being myself, Because being myself pleases you. You made me a NEGRO and bid me go forth And face scorn and ill-treatment and death; I smiled at my birth—you bid me smile— And I'll smile when you fan out my breath. Via adoption—AMERICAN you made me; Planted in me the cry "Liberty"—Conceived in bondage and in chains. 4. I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, being a Negro, I will do all I can to add honor to my people. The names of members will be published in groups of twenty. Each week a post card talk will appear here by some prominent Negro. That is, a message sent on a postal will be printed.

There was once a ragged, unlettered boy of our race who trudged many miles and appealed to Hampton Institute for a chance to learn. This boy was Booker T. Washington. There was another boy who used to listen to the conversation of others and who gathered papers out of the gutters and learned to read before he entered a small school. He was Richard Banneker. Another had ran away from a master who held him in bondage. He went to England and worked and bought his freedom. He learned many things by self help. This boy was Frederick Douglass. There was another lad who yearned to be a great poet and many promises were made by people who claimed they were going to help him. These so-called friends and interested (?) people failed him.

Then girls, there was Sojourner Truth, who had a powerful belief in God and common sense will-power. Today all scholars of Race history know how this unlettered woman has endeared herself in the traditions of her people. All these people had far less sources of encouragement than you. They had no black people of modern times to look backwards to for inspiration. They had less of everything than the youngest or the poorest of our readers. They were born in bondage with no legal right to an education. Some of them had absolutely nothing but will-power and it carried them on to the top of the ladder of renown. If such could be obtained by these Negroes who had such limited opportunities and such meager circumstances, such handicaps of social condition and enslaved servitude, and absolutely no encouragement and no inspiration, what can not a present day boy or girl do, who has schooling and opportunities practically thrust upon them? I'm not saying every boy can become a Washington or a Dunbar or a Douglass or every girl a Phyllis Wheatley or Sojourner Truth but he or she can become something better than a pool shark, a street vamp, a loafer or a mere digger-in-the-ditch. Read about your race; you can't afford to neglect school or your studies nor never read your Bible. You can't be negligent in regards to the care of your body, your clothes, your manners, nor your ideals. Don't be satisfied with being what mother or father is—go 'em one better. Worthy of Mention Fifty years ago the Maori's, of New Zealand, were savages and frequently had cannibalistic feasts. Today several members of their race have won seats in the New Zealand Parliament, and Maori women, as well as the white women of New Zealand, exercise the right to vote.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON'S EXAMPLE any will be the regrets expressed for the failure of "Link" season to be confirmed by the Senate at its executive session today afternoon. "Link" has no one to blame but himself. Henry Lincoln Johnson had an opportunity that few colored people ever had. He successfully worked himself into a union hitherto unheld by a colored man—National Commerian of a state. In this position he had the opportunity either colored man has had; for when Mr. Johnson eschewed his office on Pennsylvania Avenue, following the last fall, he announced that he was not seeking a local position but only wanted to serve his race; that he going to labor to secure legislation that would cure some ills his race suffered. This was a laudable purpose and the sympathy and loyal support of his countrymen, who are ready to proclaim him their leader. Therefore, in the face of this announcement, when President Eisenhower sent in his name for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, he should have promptly asked the President withdraw his name—if, as he announced at the time, nomination "came as clap of thunder from a clear sky." And Johnson withdrawn his name when it was first预设 he would have demonstrated worthiness for leadership. Had of doing the big thing, by being so anxious for the job, was brought shame upon his name, humiliation upon his and children, and disgrace upon the race. For a Colored political leader to be turned down by the United States Senate because of being charged with embezzlement is a heavy blow to the race. For Johnson to have perished that matter to be aired in the Senate of the United States, was the height of folly on his part. Johnson has proven to be simply a "political stevedore," stands out as a concrete example of the character of political leadership the race should frown upon. He is hoped that our future aspirants for political leadership profit by "Link's" errors and failures. PALMER'S NE STEAM HEATED ROBERT H.

Preceding the dinner and during the arrival of the guests, there were selections on the Victrola and smokes. When the last guest had arrived the chairman of the Club led the way to the dining room where all sat down a very delectable dinner. Between the courses, several impromptu speeches were listened to. Each speaker remarked upon the exquisite taste with which the affair had been arranged and gave expression to a keen appreciation of the spirit of "peace and harmony" which prevailed. The Worshipful Master, Bro. Raymond J. Weir, was especially felicitous in his remarks, and struck a responsive chord when he gave expression to his sincere appreciation of the wholehearted support which had been given him by the young craftsmen present and assured them that always he would hold in fondest recollection the memory of the spirit of good fellowship so prevalent on this memorable occasion. The dinner was prepared by Mrs. Fannie Moore, the charming wife of Bro. Moore, assisted by Mrs. Martha Fletcher and Mrs. Mattie Jeffres and was voted by all present a superior achievement of the culinary art. Bro. Carl J. Spigener, the amiable and popular chairman of the Club, together with his fellow members, spared neither pains nor expense in making the affair the brilliant success that it was, and deserved the congratulations bestowed upon them by all the guests.
