FIVE POINTS TO RACIAL SUCCESS OUTLINED BY WOODSON Tells Hampton Students that Liberty Must Come as a Conquest MUST DEVELOP A PRESS The Negro Must Find Avenue of Business Hampton, Va.—"There are certain things which Negroes in this country must do, if they hope to enjoy the blessings of real democracy: they must attain economic independence; they must develop a literature; they must learn to preserve their own records; and they must learn the value of tradition." Dr. Carter G. Woodson of Washington, D. C., well-known editor of the "Journal of Negro History," director of research for the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and author of "Negro Education Prior to 1861" and "A Century of Negro Migration," made this declaration in a recent address on "The Negro and Modern Democracy," which he delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before a large audience of Hampton workers and students. Doctor Woodson said: "The people who control the coal and iron, the banks, the stock markets, and other valuable resources are the people who will dictate exactly what shall be done for every group in this land. Liberty is to come to the Negro, not as a bequest, but as a conquest; that is, the Negro must contribute something to the good of his race, his country, his God. "The Negro must find some avenue of business. He must exploit something to the extent that he will develop an industry or a business in which he can give some other Negro employment. Appeal to Race Pride "Until the Negro learns to do something for himself in the field of education he will never be able to consider himself a real man. If the Negro is not going to become an educational factor among his own people, then education is not the leverage to lift him, in the sense that it has lifted other people. A man is educated when he can do without a teacher and when he can and will develop and grow without the stimulus of instruction. So it must be with a race. "Some Negroes never read a Negro newspaper. A few Negro newspapers tell the story of the Negro in a cool, calm way. They tell of the striving of the Negro in such a way as to be an inspiration to youth. Every Negro ought to read the publications of his race. "We complain because white newspapers publish our crimes and tell of the evils we do, but do not say anything of our achievements in those lines that tend to stamp us a people of the world. We must learn to tell the story ourselves. It is our duty to develop a press. Outlook for Negro Race "Negroes should read something of their own people that they may be inspired thereby. We must realize that there are certain things in the Negro race which are worth developing. Those things may be worth as much to the world as the better things of the white race, when they are properly developed. "Let us study our history with the understanding that we are not, after all, an inferior people, but simply a people who have been set back, a people whose progress has been impeded. That history will inspire us to greater achievements." Parents League Meets Monday Night The Parents League will meet Monday night, December 5th, at the First Baptist Church in Georgetown, of which Dr. James L. Pinn is the pastor. The League will purchase a home for girls soon. Published Weekly Conditions In South Africa Described Here British Rule Asserted as Being Worse than America's Mr. Solomon Plaatje, native author and Brotherhood lecturer, from Africa, speaking at the Armistice celebration at John Wesley Church, congratulated his American cousins on the large measure of freedom they enjoyed under the Constitution of the United States of America. He said: "No where in the civilized world were natives so barbarously treated as in British South Africa." Referring to the Arms Conference he said there were societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, to children and to cats, but nobody ever thought of preventing cruelty to child races. South African natives have also made the supreme sacrifice for democracy and self-determination which they will never know. The bones of their dead warriors lie buried in the sand dunes of German Southwest Africa; in the malarial forests of German East Africa; in France and in the English channel where a transport ship went to the bottom with 650 natives on their way to France. But he and his countrymen were paying taxes for the maintenance of war widows and the training of war orphans of another race while the dependents of native warriors who fell in the great war received no concern from the State. Ordinarily they were taxed indirectly as well as directly for the upkeep of educational institutions for the training of white children in public schools, from which native children are rigidly excluded; "And" said Mr. Plaatje, "but for foreign missionary activities, I would not be what I am." He went on to tell how native territories like Bechuanaland and Zululand were cut up into farms which were granted to white settlers; the natives thereon being literary forced by a peonage system, called the "pass law," to cultivate these lands for the benefit of the grantees. Further, these peons, he said, are taxed by the Government, who loaned the money to settlers to start sugar plantations with no obligation to pay interest until three years after they have garnered their first sugar crop; but severe fines and terms of imprisonment prohibit the sale or lease of such parts of Zululand to the Zulus. So that Queen Victoria's flag which, during the past century was the banner of light and freedom for the natives of the Dark Continent, has since her death become the emblem of oppression, exploitation and dispossession of the native races in South Africa. Repeated appeals to the Britishers' traditional love of justice have been futile and he said the Brotherhood Gospel was needed nowhere as urgently as in British South Africa, where one million whites, supported by the combined forces of the mightiest Empire the world has ever known, wield the iron over six millions of helpless aborigines, who, proverbially loyal to the British throne and the Christian Church, now find themselves perplexed by the action of the local representatives of British authority and Christianity. N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY TESTIFIES HERE Testifying before the committee of senators here who are investigating the American seizure of the black republic of Haiti, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, attributed much of the trouble in Haiti to color prejudice on the part of American Marines and office holders sent down there under the Wilson administration. Mr. Johnson, whose series of articles in the New York Nation entitled "Self-Determining Haiti" attracted wide attention and helped to make Haiti an issue in the last presidential campaign, testified in Washington on Tuesday, November 15. Prejudiced and small-calibre Americans had been sent down to Haiti, said Mr. Johnson, creating friction with the natives by reason of the color prejudice they brought with them, which had never before existed in Haiti. Nor had the Americans made WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 Office: 920 U St., N. W. The Washington Tribune scooped all the colored papers in the city last week, on the Lincoln-Howard football returns. Ten minutes after the game, full returns were in The Tribune office, and all the phones in the office were kept busy giving out the information. The picture layout, the complete details of the game, the sidelights on the event, all appeared in The Tribune the next day after the game, having been secured by four of our own staff correspondents. This is an achievement of which The Tribune is proud and is an outstanding evidence of the efforts The Tribune puts forth to give its readers dependable information and the best service possible. It's the talk of the town. MANY PROMINENT LEADERS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK MANY PROMINENT LEADERS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK Many Vital Questions to be Discussed. Public is Invited.

The Conference is to be a free and open discussion of vital importance to the race. REV. W. A. PRICE WINS VINDICATION Rev. Wm. A. Price, a highly respected citizen of Alexandria, after a fight of over eight years, has won a vindication and some monetary damages from the Washington Terminal Company, who own and manage the Union Station in this city. On the night of March 3, 1913, Reverend Price, who was then employed at the U. S. Capitol building, while waiting in the station to take a train to his home, fell asleep—as many people do on such occasions. He was roughly awakened by a station policeman; and despite his explanation, and the showing of his ticket, he was arrested and carried to the station house where he deposited collateral for his appearance in court. The case was postponed once or twice but when it came up in the Police Court, Rev. Price was fined ten dollars—the police officer claiming that he was "disorderly" etc. Later, through the efforts of the Assistant District Attorney, the ten dollars was given back to him—but that did not satisfy Rev. Price, who instituted proceedings against the Terminal Company, which, after eight years of fighting, at last yielded and accepted the terms of settlement offered by Rev. Price's attorney, Mr. Edward Hill, Jr. any improvements on the island, Mr. Johnson continued, except roads which had been build by enslaving Haitians. While in Haiti, Mr. Johnson had heard all the current stories about the atrocities attributed to U. S. Marines, he said, some of these stories being told to him by officers of the Marine Corps. TWO NEW BANKS Petersburg, Va., Dec. 2—Plans are completed for the opening of the People's Bank here Saturday, the 3rd. The new bank will occupy quarters on the first floor of the Southern Aid Society's new $10,000,00 building. This is Petersburg's first colored bank, and is situated in a very progressive section. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 2—The Union Commercial Bank is preparing to open for business in their new building at 1222 Church Street. Mr. J. T. P. Cross has recently been elected cashier. This bank is capitalized for $100,000 and is the third colored bank in this city and the seventh in the Tidewater district. BIRTHDAY OF GARRISON TO BE OBSERVED Many Prominent Speakers To Appear Including His Grandson A Mass Meeting of the membership and friends of the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. will be held Monday Dec. 12 at the John Wesley Church, corner 14th and Corcoran Sts., N. W., at 8 P. M. The occasion will be the celebration of the 116th anniversary of the birthday of William Lloyd Garrison. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison and editor of the "Nation," whose work and interest for the colored people, not only of this country but of Haiti and the darker groups of the world has been notable, will be one of the principal speakers. Other speakers' will be Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, and Mr. Charles Edward Russell, whose interest and contribution to the world sentiment favoring racial opportunity and emancipation has given him a place among the present day abolitionists. The musical feature of the program will be by some of Washington's best talent. There will be no admission charges: everybody is welcome, and we venture the assurance that all who attend will be fully repaid for the evening. BISHOP HURST ENDORSES STANDARD From its inception, the Standard Investment Company has always enjoyed the confidence of the best men and women of this community, and as its aims and accomplishments become better and more extensively known it is enjoying a wider and more powerful clientele. Among the late investors who heartily endorse the great business movement, is Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Md., who besides being a distinguished prelate enjoys the distinction of being one of the best business men of the bench of bishops. The following letter from Bishop Hurst is highly prized by the company: Standard Investment and Development Company. Gentlemen: The aims and purposes of your company, as set forth, meet my hearty approval. Investigation of its property, it present value and future possibilities, combined with personal knowledge of the integrity and business ability of the men behind the movement, lead me to consider it an unusually good and safe investment. I am pleased to have purchased stock in the enterprise. MUSICAL FEATURE AT PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL The Friendship club of Plymouth Congregational Church wishes to thank its many patrons and friends attending the recital rendered on November 18, in which it presented Mrs. Sylvia Ward Olden, a most noted and pleasing soprano. Mr. Cohen of Howard University, accompanist and Mr. Olden and Rev. Chas. Wesley assistants. Bishop Scott Sends in $5.00 Contribution Says That All Men Should Help Raise Fund to Fight Segregation The campaign to raise funds to assist in carrying the case of Mr. Brooks and Mr. Waller, who sued the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad for being segregated on their line, to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, is progressing finely. During the past week two donations were received. During the past week Bishop J. B. Scott of Nashville, sent to the Tribune, which is receiving the funds, his personal check for $5 and in his letter the Bishop said: "I feel that every intelligent member of the race should make a contribution to the efforts being made by these gentlemen to secure proper treatment on railway trains." This week a P. O. money order for $2.50 was received from Mr. Sylvester Taybum, of Uniontown, Ky. In Mr. Taybum's letter he stated that he had read of the appeal in The Indianapolis Ledger and carried it to Church and the pastor, Rev. M. S. Hester, had a special offering taken and he further stated that they were willing to do anything more to help push the cause. Another letter was received this week from Mr. A. A. Baine of Tate, Texas, asking that he be informed as to how The Literary Press Association could help. The case will require about $150 to file the necessary briefs besides the attorney's fees. The Tribune first published the appeal June 11th and since that time has received over $20 in donations. The Tribune has been authorized by Mr. Brooks to receive all moneys intended as contributions and give the donor credit for the same. Anyone desiring to help may do so by sending donation to The Tribune office, 920 You St., N. W. PROF. DURKEE LECTURES TO STUDENT BODY At the chapel exercises on Wednesday morning Dr. Durkee, Dean Holmes, Dean Miller and Dean Woodard gave very interesting and inspiring talks to the student body respectively. The President briefly commented on the courage, pep and fighting spirit of the team on Thanksgiving Day in Philadelphia. He also commended the student body on the spirit shown in yells and songs. Leaving the game at this point the President told the students of his trip to Swarthmore on Friday. Here the Convocation of the Association of Schools and Colleges of the Middle States and Maryland was held. He read some of the proceedings of the meeting and the students were very happy to know that Howard University was placed on the approved list. She is now a member of the sisterhood of the colleges and universities of the world. The President then asked Dean Woodard to speak on the topic "The New Ratings of Scholarship." Dean Woodard gave a brief and interesting talk. Dean Holmes was then asked to speak on "The Effect on Secondary Schools and the coming of students to Howard." Dean Holmes spoke first on the matter of securing of an accredited list of secondary schools of the country. Dean Miller spoke on the "Effect on Racial Co-operation." Dean Miller said in part that in the life of races on earth there was a common language, common money, and standards of moral life. He further stated that the matter of race is not involved in the question of the standings and worth of colleges. Leonard G.

KAHN FAVORS IT In Letter to Local Men States He Will Do All He Can The Anthony Resolution, which was introduced in the House recently by Representative Anthony of Leavenworth, Kans., and which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, was not reported out by the committee at its last meeting just before the last session of Congress adjourned. The Committee of local men who called on Representative Julius Kahn of California who is Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, received a letter from Rep. Kahn stating why the Resolution was not acted on at the last meeting of the Committee. In the letter Rep. Kahn states that he will do all he can as soon as the Congress convenes again to get a favorable report on the measure. The Resolution as introduced by Representative Anthony, calls on the War Department to furnish all information in its possession relative to the imprisonment of the soldiers who are now in the Leavenworth prison who were connected with the Houston Texas riot. The resolution is a possible forerunner of a big effort to secure the freedom of these men who are now in jail. A nation wide movement is now on foot and which has as its object, the securing of freedom for the ill-fated soldiers. The letter received from Representative Kahn follows: Rev. E. D. W. Jones, Dr. Wm. D. Battle, Mr. William O. Walker, The Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Dear Sirs: Your very kind letter of the 21st inst., has been received. Unfortunately, we did not have a quorum at the meeting of the Committee on Military Affairs that took place this morning. I called attention to Mr. Anthony's bill and the necessity for reporting it out in the near future. There will be another meeting of the Committee on the sixth of December at the beginning of the regular session. I shall make every effort possible to get a favorable report on the measure. Very sincerely yours, JULIUS KAHN EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO MEET HERE The National Equal Rights League of which Monroe Trotter is Secretary, has called a meeting for this city on December 13th to continue to the 16th. It is the purpose of the convention to present officially to the World Disarmament Conference the cause and the plea of Colored America for justice and protection. The Congress will open informally by a preliminary press session of Colored American editors. The National Equal Rights League conducts the Congress, which is open to all race bodies. A special work will be a formal demand upon the new session of Congress by this national body for passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. doing work at his home where studio conditions prevail. His artistic portraiture is attracting wide attention among persons of fastidious tastes. Mr. Hyman is a graduate of the E. Brunel College of Photography of New York City, having received his degree last June. Let Mr. Briand further enlighten us: "It must also be remembered that there are two kinds of war—international war and social war. Ever since the armistice France's armies have been the armies of social order. France is living on a continent with two great volcanoes. The one is Germany, the other is Russia." After calling Germany and Russia "volcanoes" Mr. Briand proceeds to admit that the French government backed the little state of Poland in piratical attacks upon both those countries. Which is worse, we may ask of Mr. Briand, to be a "volcano" or to be a pirate and a robber? That is the difficult question which Mr. Briand and other delegates to the armament conference have to face—not to answer. For underlying war between nations is war within nations. No one knows this better than colored people in the United States. In the past few years they have had a number of hells to go through which left little or nothing to be learned from the world war. They have faced one sort of the "social war" that France's armies have been aiding and abetting against the Russians and the Germans. For the "social war" that Mr. Briand taks about often underlies wars between nations. Only, war between nations makes it easy to forget that social war. Was not, in our United States, anyone who talked about lynching and disfranchisement during the war "unpatriotic"? International war was for the moment more important and the victims of the social war were asked to forget it. When the international war ceases, social war pops up again, more vigorous than ever, as Mr. Briand's words attest. And the very armies that fought in the war of nations may be made the instruments of war within the nations. Have we not Mr. Briand's work for it that France's armies are the "armies of social order?" And what are armies of social order good for if not to try to put the lid on volcanoes—even if the act has to be accomplished with the aid of pirates and robbers and considerable official living to boot? In fact, it is not only Russia and Germany that are volcanic. The entire civilized world is seething, if only with desires that are not yet expressed. There are even volcanic elements in France. And the French Armies, if they did not mutiny, would Courtesy S. GITTELMAN Consideration 1328 7th Street, N. W.

By Herbert J. Seligmann (This is the third of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America," now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) President Harding has spoken. The armament conference in Washington has been begun. Charles Evans Hughes, our Secretary of State, has proposed a ten year naval holiday, in which no additions are to be made to existing navies. He has also proposed the scrapping of 6 batleships, thirty of them by the United States, including all those under construction or projected. This constitutes a concrete proposal to fix the relative naval strengths of the three powers at 22 for Great Britain; 18 for the United States; and 10 for Japan. As Mr. H. G. Wells has said, if any power does not like it, her spokesmen will have to explain why. And that will bring the discussion to the essentials of the Far Eastern and other questions. America through her Secretary of State has made a proposal challenging the world. It has roused the hopes of mankind everywhere, probably, because it is a concrete plan for beginning to take the burden of armament off the backs of the people. Will the people's hope be realized in the conference? In what spirit are the few men in Washington sitting down, with the fate of millions of lives depending upon their deliberations? Take, for instance, Premier Briand of France, of that France that is trying to destroy Germany and Russia. What had Mr. Briand to say just before the conference began? In a New York newspaper on November 10, two days before the conference was opened, Mr. Briand was quoted as saying that "France could never tolerate such a limitation of her national sovereignty as to permit others to dictate to her the amount of armed force she should keep for her national safety." In other words the present French government is willing to discuss disarmament but not to disarm. What is the excuse given for this attitude? ```markdown ``` Extra Size Gingham Petticoats will fit the largest woman. $1.19 to $1.59 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 Extra Size Pink Sateen Bloomers trimmed at the knees, with lace.

For Mr. Briand to talk as if only Germany and Russia were in upheaval is nonsense. But statesmen have to ignore these unpleasant little affairs at home. It is much easier to go forth to make the world safe for democracy if there is not too much talk about Tulsa, or the Chicago or Washington or Knoxville or Omaha riots—or if there is not too much discussion about who votes and does not vote for statesmen in the southern part of the United States. We must be "patriots" when it comes to the rights of Chicago on New York banks in China; we must all, that is, stop any effort to better our own situations and the situations of people like us because a crowd of greedy incompetents have brought about futile, costly, utterly useless and terrible international war. For that is what is the consequence of war. War stifles the voice of the Negro, of the white miner in West Virginia, of the lumberjack in the forests of Oregon and Washington. It puts power, unlimited power in the hands of just such incompetent and senile dunderheads as the men who made the war and who now sit down in Washington with a pious pretense of trying to end it. But outside the Washington conference at least, it is beginning to be realized that war somehow must be stopped. If these men and the social order they represent do not stop war, war will destroy them and their social order. The people of the world will not give up everything they have to live in wretchedness to pay for more battleships and armies with which to kill people. The game is not worth the candle. Even bankers are beginning to find out that war is death, death to railroads, death to the means whereby people live, death even to banks. They may learn perhaps to their cost that war made in behalf of bankers' holdings in Africa, or the Near East or Mexican oil fields, or China, will eventually swallow up the bankers who brought it about. The answer is an end to the "social war" that Mr. Briand talks about. The statesmen, if war is to be abolished, will have to proceed on the assumption that there is no divinely favored race or class. Whether that realization will gain ground no one can say. N Consideration W. ur Patronage STOUTS Black Satine flounce. $1.69 to $1.98 Fine Cotton Com- duits and lace trimmed.

But perhaps the people will make their voice heard. Perhaps the people will decide they would rather pay for disarmament right now. As Mr. Hughes said, the scrapping of costly battleships will mean a sacrifice. Will people make that sacrifice voluntarily, not only demanding disarmament but paying for it? It would be better to start a public fund, financed by public subscription, to buy the existing navies of the world and have them towed to sea and sunk, than to face the impossible exactions of more war.

Standard Life Agents Meet The annual meeting of the Agency Force of Standard Life Insurance Company for the District of Columbia and the State of Virginia was held at the Mu-So-Lit Club, November 23. Representatives from various points of Virginia met with the District of Columbia aggregation to devise ways and means for more extensive operations among the masses of our people. Methods of salesmanship and a close study of the Policy Contract was the chief topics of the meeting. W. H. King, Director of Agencies, was present from the Home Office, and brought as usual a message of good cheer to the men. Mr. King pointed to the scarcity of big bodied, whole-souled men who were willing to sell themselves to the cause of uplift among our people. "Life Insurance Salesmanship is a work where Service is the Commodity sold," said Mr. King, "and the man who can sell himself to that Kind of Service is not only a benefactor but will be the highest paid man in his group." J. P. Bond, Agency Supervisor for Virginia and the District of Columbia, with his District Agency Force was the host to his men. Mr. Bond has been connected with Standard Life for a number of years. He has demonstrated his usefulness to the Company in many ways. His sterling qualities won for him the position which he now fills, coming up from the ranks as an agent. Meetings of this kind are milestones in the rapid strides we are making as a race. Among the many others present were Mr. H. C. Brown, Agency Director for the Norfolk, Portsmouth and Lawrenceville territory, also Mr. J. E. Hubbard from Newport News and Mr. C. S. Elder from Richmond. During the last thirty days Standard Life has paid promptly, as usual, the following DEATH CLAIMS for FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH: Dr. James G. Sterrs, Physician and Surgeon, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. H. E. Bryant, Contractor and Builder, Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia. Dr. Sterts provided for the payment of the proceeds of his policy as follows; $1000.00 in cash, the balance under the INCOME PLAN provided for in all Standard Life policy contracts.

Jackson, in The Billboard The Clef Club, the famous New York organization of Negro musical artists, have more than a_ passing reason for being thankful. During the present'season. officials of the body have been put to considerable difficulty to fill the engagements of- ferred with musicians capable of maintaining the high standard for which they have become international- ly famous. The Executive Committee of the Club have made several tentative plans for a tour of the organization in the interest of the building fund of the Club; also to provide some recreation for the members and at the same time acquaint more of the coun- try with their interpretations of the metropolitan musical novelties. Stress of business has always com- pelled the concellation of these plans. On Thanksgiving Eve the demand for units of the body were so great that President Fennar could have utilized ‘three times the membership of over 200. Pride in reputation of the “Clef- ties” sustained him as engagement after engagement was declined. On January 23rd a hundred mem- bers of the club will present a vocal and instrumental concert at Carnegie Hall, New York City and all booking of members are being made with this view so that for that week none of the members scheduled for the tour now being arranged. In all proba- bility the Club will appear in Wash- ington, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Rich- mond and another city yet to be se- lected. The same program that is used at Carnegie Hall will be offered on the-tour. GEORGETOWN NOTES ‘The choir of Mt. Zion M. E. Church sang at the Asbury M.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 Sports of all Sorts The Turkey Day Classic is now history, especially from a local stand-point. The game has been played hundreds of times already and as is always the case, the aftermath of every contest is based on a number of "ifs." There are those who believe that the locals became over-confident; others point to specific plays turning the tide; while general opinion centers on the condition of the playing field. Some may say if Keene had elected to kick rather than attempted a forward pass on his 40-yard line, Lincoln would not have scored in the first period. Of course had the pass been completed Keene would have been a hero. Howard's march in the last quarter that advanced the ball to Lincoln's 12-yard line—where a penalty for holding stopped the rush—is also referred to by many as bad "break." But an impartial review of the game labels Lincoln as the best "mudders." And all sporting men know that mudders must have their day. We are now ready to dope the Howard-Lincoln Basket Ball game. Followers of Va. Union have come forward claiming the football championship of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. Six games played and six victories is the record of the Richmonders. Lincoln, Hampton, Agricultural and Technical, Lynchburg Seminary, St. Paul Normal and Morgan College fell before this mighty machine. The Championship claim is based chiefly on the victory over Lincoln. This game will go down in the record as a Union victory by forfeit. Few know, however that when the Pennsylvanians quit in the last period, with 4 minutes to play, Union was leading 7 to 0. We see no reason to dispute the claim of Coach Martin, the former Norwich University star, and his gridironers. You know these men if you have been reading the sporting pages of any of the country's leading papers. We only wish to keep them first in your memory. Slater, the big University of Iowa, tackle, is heralded as the greatest man at this position in the West. If he doesn't find his way to Walter Camp's All-American eleven we lose our guess. Fred Slater is a bear. Earl Johnson, by winning three championships this fall, has proved that he is the greatest distance runner of all times. The National cross-country, and National 5 and 10 mile races, were won by this Colored speed marvel. Sam Taylor is well known in these parts. His brilliant performances at end while a member of Union's eleven will long be remembered. During the past season Taylor's work at end for Northwestern University has caused many favorable comments. Watch Sam next year. Next week The Tribune will begin lining up the local basket ball teams. UNION DEFEATS HAMPTON 14 to 3 tion of Union Univ.

From the Famous Novel by Booth Tarkington By H. Scott Reviewing the Big Game Union Claims Championship Slater, Johnson, and Taylor tion of Union Univ. Both teams fought hard, but Union was able to score two touchdowns in the first quarter. In the first quarter, Union received the kick-off on her twenty-yard line and was held for downs; quarter back Jackson then punted to Hampton's fifteen yard line. After three successive line plunges, Hampton found out that Union's line was impregnable. Hampton then punted to Union's forty yard line. Wilson received the punt nad carried the pigskin forty yards. A forward pass which was made to Brown followed by two successful line plunges gained a first down for Union. Allen Jackson, Union's swift quarterback, cricled the Hampton right end for thirty yards and scored the first touch-down. Jackson kicked goal. In kicking off to Hampton after the first touchdown, Jackson kicked the ball behind Hampton's goal. The ball was then brought to the twenty yard line. After unsuccessful attempts at plunges, Hampton was then forced to punt, which was blocked by McDonald and recovered by Hoffman who crossed the line making' the second touchdown. Hampton's quarterback brought the crowd to its feet by drop-kicking goal from the forty-five yard line, making the score 14-3. The last half of the game was fought bitterly by both sides.

There is a reason for this unprece- dented attendance. It is found in the quality of the picture. “By Right of combined in this superior picture, and Clarence Brocks is a real star. The plot for the picture is laid around the oil fields of Oklahoma. Helen Childers is left alone at two years of age by a wreck in which she is separated from her parents; found by a white-man and adopted into his home as an Indian girl—taking his name. In school she meets a Mr Jones, a colored youth; love follows; in the meantime Helen Childers is sought by.a treacherous real estate man; Mr. Jones has finished his course in law and has an office adjoining this man; Helen finds out that she is col- ored and leaves her home; she is be- trayed by her white foster mother and the climax is thrilling. She finds her real mother and marries Mr. Jones, (Clarence Brooks).

So he leaves his mother with “Love” and “Hope” and goes forth to meet “Experience.” In the city “Youth” first encoun- ters “Pleasure.” Dazzled by her bril liancy, he asks “Opportunity” to wait before they discuss his work. But “Opportunity” will not wait and goes off. At the Primrose Path, “Pleasure” ‘introduces him to her friends “Beau: ty,” “Wealth,” “Fashion,” “Intoxica- ‘tion,? and “Temptation.” All ar interested in “Youth,” with his en- thusiasm, and weleome him to theit midst. é At his home, “Youth’s” mother has died. “Love” braving a storm, send: him a telegram that is intercepted by “Temptation.” BIG AFFAIR AT CONVENTION i HALL RIG SUCCESS “Washington’s Greatest Ball” which was given under the auspices of a Stenographers and Orientals dangihs classes at the Convention Hall on las Friday night November 25th, 1921 proved a great success from all angles This affair brought together th greatest aggregation of stars of Na. tional prominence in the musica world that ever assembled. ‘The program as outlined by Messrs Tucker, Matthews and Collins wen through to the word and much t the-enjoyment and satisfaction of th large crowd that turned out.

A Christmas Gift 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 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 committee in its investigation first made known definitely that the Negro was opposed to separate hospitals for himself which seemed to mark him as a man apart from the other races who fought in the recent war. They realized, however, the practicality of the situation and that they could not hope for the best of treatment under conditions making for the successful treatment of the disabilities from which they are suffering if they were not given separate medical facilities in the southern section of our country. While conditions perhaps necessitated this sort of a thing in the South the committee protested that the Negro veterans from other sections would never consent to being sent into the heart of the South for treatment. The officials of both the Treasury Department and the Veterans Bureau of said Department, assured the Negro Veterans Committee that the hospital at Tuskegee which is to care for Neuro-Psychiatric and Tuberculous patients only, would be used for Negro Veterans of the vicinity of the institution and that other patients would be hospitalized in government and contract hospitals near their homes. The authorities of the Veterans Bureau of the Department have decided to have Colored nurses in the new hospital but no provisions have been made to secure physicians of our race to make up the professional staff. The Negro Veterans Committee at once made known to the Assistant Director of the Veterans Bureau in charge of the Medical Division, who will be responsible for the administration of the Tuskegee Hospital, that while not favoring a jim-crow hospital, yet since one is to be built, they THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 demanded Negro physicians and the committee has begun organizing its forces for the fight. It was learned from the authorities of the Treasury and the Veterans Bureau that another hospital for general cases would probably be built for Negro Veterans out of the appropriation which is now being sought from Congress to carry out the program of adequate hospital facilities. If such a separate hospital must be established the Negro Veterans should be consulted in determining the location of this proposed hospital. MISS TERRELL At a mass meeting of white women held Sunday the 13th, in the Auditorium of the Christian Science Church, 13th and New York Avenue, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was invited to address them and rising with eyes beaming and with the radiance of inspiration, she pleaded the cause of her race and reviewed the record of the Colored Soldiers in the late World War. In part she said: "Since I am the only person on the platform this afternoon who has a drop of African blood in her veins, I represent not only the colored women of the United States, but those of the whole continent of Africa, as well. If it had been possible for me to bring you a message directly from the thousands of African women whose men have fallen bravely fighting in wars waged by white men, often for causes which these black men did not understand, they would say: Implore our white sisters to work, not only for the limitation of Armaments, but beseach them to do everything they can to wipe bloody, blighting, blasting war entirely, from the face of the earth. "Of the 400,000 colored men called to the colors in this country more than 200,000 of our fathers, husbands, brothers and sons were sent across the sea to fight to make the world safe for democracy as they fondly believed. Many a dusky hero lies under the sod in France to-day and many have returned to this country horribly crippled and maimed. God grant that neither white nor colored women will ever have to pass thru this Geth-semane again. We are not selfish in expressing this desire, for we look with horror and dismay upon the wholesale manner in which men are slaughtering each other with the death-dealing engines of war and by the most diabolical contrivances of science which man's evil genius can invent. "While colored women loathe and abhor war they are proud of the military record which their men have made. Colored men have never shirked the duty and responsibility of protecting the American flag. In every war which this country has waged in the past colored men have fought with a patriotism and have died with a courage surpassed by none. It would be a melancholy comfort to African women also, if they knew that at the battle of the Marne, when the Allies seemed on the verge of defeat and ruin, it was the incomparable African soldiers fighting under the French flag that stopped the onrush of white barbarism and saved the civilization for the world. "Colored women know they can do little to compass the end for which this meeting was called. We know we have little influence and power, bearing as we do a double burden—handicapped not only because of sex, but on account of our race as well. But in our weak and humble way we promise to do everything we can to put a stop to war; not only for the sake of our own race but for the sake of humanity as a whole. For we believe that when white men are no longer forced to spend so much money, energy, and time planning the wholesale destruction of each other in bloody wars, they will think more and work harder to bring about the realization of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." Women of "Experience" Cast Wear $100,000 Worth of Furs. Probably the most costly array of furs ever seen in a Paramount picture is worn by the principal woman character in "Experience," which was produced under the direction of George Fitzmauhice and which comes to the Howard theatre December 11. Arrangements were made with a prominent Fifth Avenue furrier for $100,000 worth of fur coats, wraps, stoles and scarfs for use in the picture. Yvonne Routon, as "Fashion"; Nita Naldi as "Passion"; Lilyan Tashman as "Pleasure," and Edna Wheaton, who plays "Beauty," appear gorgeously attired in furs that will give those who see the picture a glimpse of the latest styles in fur pieces. In one scene "Pleasure" wears a $3,500 Russian sable stole and in another a $30,000 chincilla coat. "Passion" appears in an ermine coat valued at $20,000; "Fashion" displays several fur pieces of great value and "Beauty" is attired in an evening cloak of manor velvet, embroidered in crystal and trimmed with Russian sable. Dunbar Notes The students of the Department of Business Practice have organized to give Dunbar a real, live paper.

I don't want many things. I would like to have an express wagon, a play horse, and a play telephone. I will thank you very much Santa Clause and I hope when I grow to be a man that I will be able to make someone happy. Bye-bye, Santa Clause, hope to hear from you soon.

All of the questions concern Washington. you know your city's history? THE T. P. C. C. The Tribune Post Card Club can be joined by any child who is interested in Race advancement. Write your name, address, age, and parent's or guardian's name on a postal and send it to Children's Page, Washington Tribune, 920 U St., N. W. Washington, D. C. and promise to observe four simple rules: 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race. 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. After twelve of these cards have been published at the rate of one a week, the members of the T. P. C. C. will elect, by popular vote, three honorary members. So read these little messages and select what you like best so you can vote for your choice. Join now. Only applications written on post cards will be accepted. Self-Respect No one need expect to be respected if they do not respect themselves. If you call one another "nigger" you must expect the other race to call you "nigger." You very very seldom, (if ever) hear one white boy calling another white boy "herring." To do so degrades the child who uses the phrase more than the one being slandered. (It is slander.) It does to show that he who uses such terms as "nigger" or "herring" recognizes the words as the names of breeds of persons in their race. So, children, we must refrain from anything that will throw a shadow upon our race. Do not use the word and every chance you get anywhere you are with anybody, try to urge that the word "nigger" not be spoken again. If you aid one person to break this thoughtless habit you will have done a noble act. A POPULAR MOVEMENT Race leaders, teachers, preachers, editors, writers, association workers, and community organizations are grasping the idea of the necessity of a knowledge of Race history. The N. A. C. P. of Detroit has a club of 500 children interested in Negro history. The "Afro-American" and the "Chicago Defender" have juvenile pages. "The Brownie's Book" tends to awaken Negro children to race pride in the knowledge of ourselves. Let every Washington and Alexandria child be aroused and study the history and traditions of our people. This page is at your service. The white race says of itself that it is the most intellectual of races. Perhaps so. They think they are honest in such boast. We, too, must boast when we know we are right. We are the physical superiors of the races. YOUNG MUSICIANS There is a lack of interest taken by our boys and girls to learn music. We are proud to note those who are interested but they are such a small minority. Music should be studied for two reasons. It is a source of enjoyment and a source of revenue. To play or sing well are attributes showing high tendencies, diligence and perseverance. The study of music is like anything else, if imagined to be hard, it is then made harder. A noted German musician was once asked why the children of the little villages of Germany were so musical. He replied, "Because they make fun of music." This is true. The children of Germany have very simple amusements. Although Germany is the land of toys, the little folks are not laden down with extravagant presents. Some German boys amuse themselves more with a little violin than some of our boys can with a $75.00 electric toy railroad. I wish that all who read this article would try at the next practice hour to get just as much pleasure as possible out of their playing. Treat it just exactly as you would a game. You may learn a great deal from the children of Germany. Boys Who Wear Earrings. Boys wearing earrings in China is popularly explained by the Chinese as The Fifth Anniversary OF George W. Taylor Co.

Taylor Jewelry Store 1024 U Street, N. W. follows: The boy is the greatest blessing that heaven can send. The spirits like boy babies. It is natural that they should; everybody likes them. Very often, if the boy babies are not watched very closely, the spirits who are constantly around grab up the unwatched boy baby and carry him off to their home. Girl babies are not such blessings, and the spirits care nothing for them. The earring is a feminine ornament, and the spirits know that; so the Chinese mothers have the ears of their boy babes pierced, and put in huge earrings. When the spirits are around looking for boys, they will see the earrings and be fooled into thinking the boys are girls and will pass on and not trouble them. Observing our Elders We cannot convince ourselves that those older people who use the word "nigger" are setting good examples before their juniors. If it was complimentary 'twould be all right, but as we receive it from a source where we like to stop it, we earnestly entreat you to stop using a word which debases you because you seem to lack pride of person and of race. Early Ambition. It was washing day, and John had been kept from school to look after the baby. Mother sent him into the garden with the baby to play, but it was not long before cries disturbed her. "John, what is the matter with baby now?" she inquired from her washtub. "I don't know what to do with him," replied John. "He's dug a hole in the ground and now he wants to carry it into the house."—London Tit-Bits. 1. Do not eat fast. 2. Do not make a noise when eating soup. 3. Do not fill the mouth too full. 4.

I work—or try to work—all of the puzzles, and try to answer (to myself, of course) all the questions that I can. I am frank to say, some of the history questions "stump me." But it is a pleasure to "dig" at them. And, oh! children, I wish that you could now realize how much in times 7 to come, especially in the twilight of life, you will be solaced and comforted by—how much you will enjoy—that which you have made your own, your very own, which no one can rob you of or cheat you out of. Do you know to what I refer? If you think you do not, ask your parent or your teacher. F. H. M. MURRAY.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR WHY DID PRESIDENT KING LEAVE WASHINGTON SO HASTILY? A recent news item told of President King, of Liberia, sailing from Boston on a gunboat of the U. S. Navy, after spending seven months in Washington trying to borrow $5,000,000. He left without the money. It is singular that President King should spend more than seven months in Washington on a mission of securing a loan for his country and then, within 48 hours of the international celebration on Armistice Day, of the unknown hero, having been one of the Allies in the World War, suddenly take his departure, without securing the money for which he came, on a ship furnished him by the U. S. Navy, for Liberia. President King was the only foreign ruling sovereign in this country. International courtesy demanded that he should be given a prominent place in the parade and on the program at Arlington. But President King is a Negro and the color prejudice of this Administration would not permit a Negro, altho a sovereign ruler, to have a prominent place in the largest national celebration this country has ever pulled off—that would be "social equality" and our President a few days preceding this celebration announced at Birmingham that the Negro, notwithstanding he is a President of a Republic, is "eternally, fundamentally and inescapably different" and cannot associate with us; therefore, President King was furnished U. S. naval transportation home to prevent him from taking the prominent place on the program and in the parade due him on Armistice Day. Some "Uncle Tom" Flunkey was detailed to inform President King that it would be best for him to leave on this particular naval-boat. That if he would go home the United States would let him have the $5,000,000; for the Administration would rather give him $5,000,000 than to have him remain and show him the courtesy due him on Armistice Day. This incident recalls the Diplomatic Dinner given by President Roosevelt when Embassador Sannon from Haiti was the Senior Embassador in Washington. It is the custom on this occasion for the President of the United States to sit with the Senior Embassador's wife and the Embassador to sit with the President's wife. Now as it happened, Embassaror Sannon was a black man; and just a few days before the date set for the dinner, a prominent colored educator appeared in Washington with an urgent invitation for Embassador Sannon to deliver STEAM HEATED an address at his school in a far Southern State on the very day of the dinner, stating that he had secured a special car to carry the Embassador to and bring him from the school. This was done for no other purpose than to get the embassador away from Washington on that day. But Embassador Sannon saw thru the scheme and refused point blank to go. It would not surprise The Tribune to learn that some of the same people who tried to toll Embassador Sannon from Washington so that he would miss President Roosevelt's diplomatic dinner, were instrumental in persuading President King to hastily leave the United States within 48 hours of the unknown hero celebration and save this Administration embarassment. FOOTBALL AND SPORTS (Continued from page 4) The battle was bitterly contested by both sides and the margin of the score demonstrates the relative strength of the two teams. The game furnished many thrills and kept the large crowd in a continuous uproar. Pennants and colors of the two ancient rivals lent an air of gaiety to the occasion. Armstrong went into the game the favorite because of its season's record; having met more teams than its rival Dunbar, and having piled up a season score of almost three times that of Dunbar. The victory Thursday gives Dunbar two straight shut out victories over the training school boys, as Dunbar won last year by the score of 13 to 0. The teams were a little slow in getting off in the first quarter, but the end of the quarter found them getting well under way. The second quarter found Dunbar taking the lead with skill and aggressiveness, carrying the battle to Armstrong. Near the close of the quarter and half, Dunbar uncorked a successful forward pass which was caught by Drew the left end, who carried the oval over for a touchdown. One of the features of the game was the playing of the Trigg brothers against each other: K. Trigg played right half back for Armstrong, while his brother who is Captain of the Dunbar team, played center Both put up a good game. In the last quarter Armstrong made strenuous efforts to score by using trick formations and forward passes, but was unable to overcome the great defensive game put up by Dunbar.

Coming from the same city as did the Howard football team, and learning of the defeat of that team, the visitors went in with the determination of holding up the name and fame of their fair city, and outplayed the home team in every department of the game. In spite of the large number of fouls called on both teams, the play was snappy and interesting from a Guild standpoint, though the home team was outclassed from the start.
