The Washington Tribune Court To Probe Church Trouble COMPLETE PROBE OF REV. TAYLOR'S CONDUCT PROMISED All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, Nc. 38 Court COMPLETE PRO TAYLOR'S CONI BURKE HAD LEGAL RIGHT IN CHURCH Baptist Ministers Conference May Intervene The long arm of the Federal court has reached Florida Avenue Baptist Church and what is promised to be startling revelations, may soon come light. While the grand jury is inquiring into the alleged responsibility of Jos. Burke and Jas. A. Jackson of the church, for the death of Wm. Bush the District Supreme Court will attempt to investigate the affairs of the church with a view toward adjusting the turbulent conditions now prevailing there. Through Attorneys Thos. Jones, Royal Hughes and Geo. Hayes, Rev. Taylor have been sued and church clerk L. B. Hooper were ordered by Justice Bailey to appear Friday and produce the records of the business meetings held between last June and December. Rev. Taylor was ordered to show cause why his pulpit should not be declared vacant. The bill of complaint was filled by M. M. Peace James Smallwood, Albert Harris, Jabez Lee, James Langhorne, Jas. S. Johnson, Charles Mellory, John Wright and William Miller, all trustees and deacons of the church. When the case came up on Friday, Justice Bailey, on motion of Armond W. Scott, attorney for Taylor, granted an extension to February 16. Baptist Conference Takes Action At the regular weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministers Conference at Metropolitan church, last Monday, the Conference called upon Rev. W. A. Taylor for a statement. Rev. Taylor denied the charges appearing in The Tribune which were the same charges filed by the deacons of the church and which had been sent to the Conference twice for consideration. Rev. Taylor charged that The Tribune was paid $25 to publish the articles appearing in last week's paper. The Conference called a special meeting for Friday, at which time Rev. Taylor will be called upon to prove the charges made by him against the deacons and The Tribune. Burke had right in Church Close students of church law have come forward during the week with positive proof that Joseph Burke had a perfect right to enter Florida Ave. Bapt. Church at the business meeting from which he was ejected. Burke was read out of the church at one of the business meetings in December, but according to the laws of the Baptist Church, he was not officially put out of the church until the minutes of the December meeting had been ratified by the church at the regular business meeting in January; at which meeting he would have had a perfect right to attend and appear in defense of himself. In view of this law however, it is alleged that Rev. Taylor ordered him kept from the church at the next regular meeting. It is also alleged that Rev. Taylor carried a letter of dismissal to the Ministers' Conference which bore the official church seal, which it is stated he had no legal right to do until the church as a whole had acted upon it. Burke is a member of the Ministers' Conference. A thorough investigation of the affairs of the church and the charges against Rev. Taylor will in all probability be made by the grand jury. Rev.

Mitchell was mas- (Continued on page 8) Published Weekly BE OF REV. DUCT PROMISED MEMBERS WANT PASTOR TO GO Letters Reveal Actual State of Conditions Prevailing at Church The recent killing of William Bush at the Florida Ave. Baptist Church has had a tendency to bring to a head the awful condition prevailing in that church. Many members of the church have openly expressed themselves as being willing to join forces and bring about a complete house cleaning. The affairs of the church have now become public gossip and this is greatly resented by many. The insistent demand for the removal of the pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor is almost unanimous. The Tribune during the past week has received a number of letters from leading members of the church, who voiced their utter disapproval of the alleged conduct of the pastor. Under date of Jan. 24th, The Tribune received a copy of a letter from Mr. Jabez Lee, who stated that the original letter had been sent to Rev. Taylor. Mr. Lee spoke in plain language to Rev. Taylor in his letter which is reproduced herewith: Washington, D.C., Jan. 24, '22 Rev. Taylor. I never do anything under cover. I believe in operating above board, in the open and honorably. When you came to our church you found it well manned and with an enviable standing in the community, but it has been changed to a starquinarium of sin, vice, corruption and murder under your counsel, advice and leadership. In order that the people of this country may know the truth of the situation at the Florida Ave. Baptist Church, I have already begun a campaign in the papers to infrom them I shall with my pen paint a picture in lurid colors, showing your wonderful achievements ? at the church in dailies, weeklies and monthlies. You may remove me from the trustee board if you desire and, sir, you may even strike my name from the rolls of the church, for I regard it no honor to be a follower of yours. Can't you see the blood of my dead uncle staring you in the face? Can't you hear the voices of heaven bidding you leave our church? Mr. Lee's feeling, it was stated to a Tribune reporter, is typical of the general feeling now prevailing in the church. The people, it is stated are tired of the long record of alleged petty and sinister acts of the pastor. Many members of the church have thanked The Tribune for the stand taken in last week's issue and have verified the correctness of all reports appearing therein. A letter from one of the leading members of the church is produced below as it tells its own story: January 22. 1922 To The Editor of the Washington Tribune: As an humble member of the Fla. Ave. Baptist Church and close student of the turbulent conditions in that church incident to the filing of charges of immoral conduct against the pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor and the tabling of same for the safe period of ninety-nine years, I desire to express my profound thanks and hearty congratulations to the Washington Tribune upon its graphic and unimpeachable pre- ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922. Office: 920 U St., N. W. Features of Dyer Anti Lynching Bill Salient features of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which passed the House Thursday by a vote of 230 to 119.

DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL PASSED HOUSE 230 TO 119 DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL PASSED HOUSE 230 TO 119 ODD FELLOWS EXPEL ATT'Y W. L. HOUSTON Further convictions in the trial of prominent Odd Fellows which is being conducted in Philadelphia were recently returned by the sub-committee of the lodge. The committee disposed of the case of Atty. William L. Houston of this city who was at one time grand master of the order. The findings in the case of Atty. Houston were given out as follows: Former Grand Master William L. Houston was charged before the Sub-Committee of Management with violation of sections 7, 21a, and 29, General Law CII, and was found guilty as charged, and the penalty fixed at expulsion from the Order, by a unanimous vote. The opinion as rendered recites: "For four years the defendant (William L. Houston) was the grand master of this Order, and it is to be regretted that one who occupied the highest position in the gift of his brethren should deliberately and without any cause whatever combine and conspire with others to break up and destroy the Order and be guilty of various acts in that direction and behalf, wholly unbecoming any member of the Order. "The proof adduced leads us to the conclusion that not only did the defendant do the acts charged against him, but he was one of the leading, moving spirits in the combination and conspiracy. His conduct in this regard we consider unworthy of any member of the Order. "We, therefore, adjudge and find defendant guilty in manner and form as charged in the information and complaint, and it is hereby ordered that said defendant, William L. Houston, be, and he is hereby, expelled from the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America." sentation of "facts" in connection with the regrettable episode of Friday night week ago and its able and courageous exhortations of the Baptist Ministry to awake to the sense of its inescapable responsibility and duty to the Washington public. In this, the darkest hour in the history of our church, should the Ministerial Alliance feel duty bound to remain silent, it is comforting beyond degree that the press will speak out and in no uncertain terms against an evil, monstrous and haggard, that afflicts a Christian people. Again voicing my sincere thanks and keen appreciation of the great and exalted part played by the Washington Tribune in a righteous cause. I am happy to remain. The church and the courts of the District are expected to take a hand The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was passed by the House of Representatives Thursday afternoon about three o'clock, by a vote of 230 to 119. The bill was bitterly fought by the entire group of Southern representatives and was marked by much debating from both sides. The Dyer bill was first introduced in the House by its author, Mr. Leonidas C. Dyer of St. Louis, April 11, 1921 and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. On October 31, 1921, the bill was reported with an amendment and referred to the House Calendar. After a hot fight by the opponents of the bill, it was decided to push the bill up on House's Calendar. On Dec. 19th, the bill came up for general debate and ever since that time it has been almost continuously under five. Thousands of telegrams and letters have been sent various representatives by race voters throughout the country, and practically every big organization has sent petitions to various members. The N. A. A. C. P. took the lead in the fight for the bill and from their New York offices, they sent out thousands of letters and other literature During the debate on the bill, many Southern Representatives openly tried to defend lynching and mob violence in the South. This sort of talk reached its climax when Representative Sisson of Mississippi made a speech in which he is alleged to have stated in substance that any white man with a drop of red blood in his veins would seek revenge after a black brute had left a white woman lying in blood. This part of his speech was immediately attacked by Representative Cooper of the first district of Wisconsin. Sisson's speech caused much confusion in the House. The speaker had to demand order from the galleries which were crowded with Colored people. Representative W. Burke Cockran of the 16th district of New York who is connected with Tamanny Hall of New York City, made one of the most brilliant speeches Wednesday in behalf of the bill during the whole debate. The bill now goes to the Senate where its fate will again hang in the balance. Just where it will be placed on the Senate's Calendar could not be known. The supporters of the bill are now re-organizing their forces and preparing for the fight in the Senate. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is aimed at the breaking up of mob violence and lynch law throughout the United States, and was introduced with the full support of practically the entire Negro race. PLANS TO REBUILD SHORTER HALL AT WILBERFORCE Wilberforce Univ.-At a recent meeting of the Executive Board of Wilberforce University, called by Bishop J. H. Jones, the Chairman of the Trustee Board, plans were adopted for the rebuilding of Shorter Hall, which was lost by fire on the night of December 7th last. in the conditions and it is expected that at a near date, the deplorable affairs of the church will begin to clarify.

Southern Aid Statement Shows Prosperous Year The Southern Aid Society of Virginia with its home office in Richmond, Va., which also operates in this city, has just issued its twenty-eighth annual statement. This statement shows notwithstanding the very trying conditions through which all business passed in 1921—especially sick benefit insurance companies—this company made progress. Striking indeed in the statement is the showing of a surplus of $468,892.31, which represents the net value of the company's assets. The company's assets show together with cash on hand amounting to $72,122.89, real estate valued at $362,266.71, real estate mortgages, $86,082.48, federal and other bonds $42,258.00, and other assets amounting to $25,485.10, making a total of $588,215.18 in assets. This company maintains elaborate offices in its own building, corner of 7th and T Streets, this city and employs a force of fifteen agents and clerks. Mr. Lacey Doss is superintendent of this district. CONFERENCE DELEGATES CALL ON PRESIDENT Four race men have been attending the Agricultural Conference here this week as accredited delegates. They were appointed on a very important committee and called on the President Wednesday in the behalf of the colored farmers of the country. The four men are Prof. B. F. Hubert, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Chas. E. Hall, with the Bureau of Census, Ill.; Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of the Agricultural department, Ohio; and R. W. Westberry, S. C. Among other things they said: "As representatives of nearly one million farm operators who operate more than 41,000,000 acres of land, valued in excess of $2,250,000,000, we wish to call your attention to some of the problems that tend to retard the economic and social progress of these people and those who are dependent upon them." They made a plea for more generous Federal support of the agricultural colleges; an intensive and sympathetic study of the conditions of the tenants in the South; a more favorable application of the Federal Farm Loan Act and full protection for the colored farmer and his property. Circulation Books Open To All RDERED TO CHARITY FUND ARRIE JOHNSON The famous Pollyanna case has been decided by Judge O'Toole, of the Municipal Court. The judge handed down the decision Tuesday, in favor of Miss Carrie Minor Johnson, for the sum of $997.71, with interest from Last March. This case attracted wide attention because of the prominence of the members of the Pollyanna Social Club. The case of Miss Johnson grew out of the race riot in 1919. The exclusive announcement in The Tribune last June of the filing of the suit against the Pollyannas by Miss Johnson, was the most sensational occurrence in the social circles of the Capital City, of the summer. The case against Miss Johnson, was a long drawn out one, and was bitterly fought by her attorneys. She was arrested July 21st, 1919, when the riot was at its height, on the charge of killing detective Wilson, who entered the Johnson home on G Street. She was kept in jail until January, 1921, when the first trial came up. A verdict of manslaughter was brought in against her. But a motion for a new trial was immediately asked by her attorneys, Gaskins and Watson. The next trial came up in June before Justice Siddons and was nolle pressed by him on June 20th. In the meantime, the Pollyanna Social Club obtained Miss Johnson's permission to use her name, as beneficiary for a Fashion Show which they gave February 25th, 1921. After all expenses were paid, there was a balance of $997,71. This was placed in the Industrial Savings Bank to the credit of "Carrie Johnson;" but the Pollyannas were willing to turn over only a part of the money to Miss Johnson. Hence, suit was filed, last June for the full amount. Judge O'Toole has just handed down her decision in the case in favor of Miss Johnson. The decision is as follows: In the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia Carrie Minor Johnson by next friend Ruth Savoy et al Suit brought to recover proceeds of an entertainment by defendants acting as The Pollyanna Club, an unincorporated association, "to give material aid" to the plaintiff. Defense: General denial; the proceeds "found money," or at least a trust fund, of which this Court did not have jurisdiction. It was shown at the trial that plaintiff, at the request of defendants, permitted the use of her name as beneficiary of a Fashion Show given by the latter on February 25, 1921 (Plaintiffs Exhibits 3 and 4); that there remains on hand a balance of $977.71, which is deposited in the Industrial Savings Bank by defendants "for Carrie Johnson," (Ex. 1 for P.; that the only contributors to said fund whose testimony was given, namely, the Mammoth Amusement Corporation (which donated the use of its hall, the rental of which is $300 a night) and its agent, who contributed his commission on said rental, the amount thereof not being stated, made such contributions because they understood the fund raised was to be used for the defense of the plaintiff in a criminal action then pending against her, any balance remaining to be given to her outright (Ex. A for Defts.); that said criminal action has been disposed of and the fund is no longer needed for that purpose; that defendants keep no minutes of their meetings as a Club; that they make no claim to said fund for themselves individually or as a Club; and that their intention was and still is to use (Continued on page 8) The House That Appreciates Your Patronage Mrs. Gittelman Speaks to the Colored Women of Washington CONTINUED REDUCTIONS Our entire line of choice styles and models in our ready to wear departments are being greatly reduced.

Slowly he raised his eyes from his shoe-tips and singled out the two girls—among many in the gorgeous surroundings—and studied each from beneath half-closed eyelids in the cool calculating manner of examining a jeweller's display. That his legs were crossed while he sank deep in luxurious cushions against the broad window, didn't make his attitude more conspicuous; yet, it stamped him as one long past the period of matriculation into the "top circle" of society, even though he had just recently presented his social credentials to the western cline. His evening attire betrayed a pleasing outline of his trim figure where he sat apart from everyone in the spacious reception hall of the Gofield's and observed the young ladies as if comparing a fawn with a peacock. It was only eleven p. m. he consulted his watch. He had plenty of time to draw conclusions, with specific reservations, in regard to the triangle of which he was a part—not that such circumstances hadn't bobbed up frequently ever since Cleopatra gained renown, but for the first time he was aware of a new role he was playing in life's ever-changing drama. The girls in question were not madly in love with him; nor could he swear he was enamored toward either type. What rankled his brain resolved into: Which of the girls loved him? There was a way to find out. Carefree he had driftwooded thro' his wild oats; yet, conscious of a serious thought now and then. His adventures had been many, varied and highly entertaining. Thro' it all, especially when he felt overfed with bright-light gaiety, he wished for a little cottage by the hill, a halting erubescent bride and—kiddies around the door. His throat tightened a moment. It was gone the instant he heard Veloe's catching words in contralto accents. "Why break away from everyone during intermission, Freddie?" rippled Veloe, piquantly bending over him Courtesy S.

Her keen eyes flashed and sparkled more vividly than the glittering tiara she wore—a New York peacock. "A little reminiscent," answered Fred Mathews with a bland smile. "So different from you. You're bubbling and laughing with eternal springtime. I fancy your dancing card is full?" His elevated brows mirrowed his anticipation while he languidly arose to his feet. "I've reserved the next dance for you, Freddie," she informed him in a blase tone that inferred his time was hers when she chose to utilize it. In truth he saw the other girl as often as he visted Veloe. "Say!" he hailed the man, at a loss for other words. Startled, the man shifted one hand to his hip, while he tightened his clutch on something in the other. "Sh-st!" came from the man's clenched teeth. "I'm playing a joke on a friend." An ugly weapon showed in his right hand to make secrecy more impressive. "Is there any way I can assist you?" offered Fred in by-play. "Yes," admitted the stranger relieved. "Tell Mrs. Gofield to step here a moment." Fred turned to go within, then whirled like a flash. The impetus of his attack on the man knocked the On the following day letter from Edith.

Couldn't make out the machine he used but anywhere. Sincerely Edith deserved a letter for her endeavor. "I'm dreadfully sorry, Miss Delane," he lamented "Miss Edith Holmes and I are to have the next one." Why did she use his given name so freely? At times it was rather inviting but sometimes almost rude. She practiced just enough dignity and reserve to escape the realm of common place. Miss Holmes was never presumptive. Yet, the evident popularity of Veloe Delane had its drawing power. "I'm positively provoked with you, Freddie." She puckered her rouge lips in mock severity. "Oh, very well. It doesn't matter." Then she smiled and tripped away. Fred Mathews had the dance with Edith; but he was disturbed by the possibility that Veloe might be peeved. "You're always so very quiet, Miss Holmes," he whispered in the ear of the former, as they swung around the crowded floor in perfect cadence to the orchestra. "Your sincere self-effacement is the still beauty of the water lily that ever remains fresh and sweet. Why are you so reticent at times?" "Life is serious to me, as well as gay, Mr. Mathews," she made reply. The high lights in her dark hair, the smooth olive texture of her skin in definite contour and the almost perfect symmetry of her body told of a splendid physique well nourished by wholesome food under the laws of hygiene. She wore no jewlry or other superficialities. After that number, Fred made a quick search of the place for Veloe. He brushed past a pillar and thro' an arch toward the west terrace. About to quit the search and make inquiries, he espied a gentleman tip-toeing off the veranda and leaving the door slightly ajar. In the instant Fred knew something was wrong. GITTELMAN STREET, N.

Startled, the man shifted one hand to his hip, while he tightened his clutch on something in the other. "Sh-st!" came from the man's clenched teeth. "I'm playing a joke on a friend." An ugly weapon showed in his right hand to make secrecy more impressive. "Is there any way I can assist you?" offered Fred in by-play. "Yes," admitted the stranger relieved. "Tell Mrs. Gofield to step here a moment." Fred turned to go within, then whirled like a flash. The impetus of his attack on the man knocked the gun out in the darkness. Heavy blows were exchanged. In a short time Fred punched the man unconscious uphart the stone steps. On securing a pearl necklace that overflowed the round's fist, Fred re-entered the reception hall. Music had ceased mid an uproar of excitement. Mrs. Gofield had missed her necklace and every body volunteered to submit to a thorough search by an officer who was hailed while passing. Approaching the distracted Mrs. Gofield, Fred tendered the stolen property with: "I'm pleased to restore this to you. You had a close call." His clothes were a trifle rumpled from the encounter. Convicting eyes of the whole room focussed upon him—even Veloe's. He didn't see Edith while he briefly related the incident and continued. "We'd better take some water to revive the man on the steps." Edith left immediately. The gathering favored Fred with skeptical glances, sniffs, lifting chins and turning backs. Veloce well feigned anger that he should be subjected to any indignity at the hands of a petty officer. Accompanied by the officer--which Mrs. Gofield protested against--Fred gained the side entrance on the west. Many braved the frosty air to observe. There were no signs of a struggle or the man with whom he fought. Dumbfounded Fred went inside to face the group. By this time a heartless "gossip" had poisoned Mrs. Gofield's mind till the latter sanctioned the arrest of the one who returned the pearls. Frowning on the pack of wolf society that stood ready to down a man on any pretext and keep him there, Fred almost grandilobely accompanied the policeman to jail where he managed bond and was released to await trial. Consideration North 7202 ur Patronage the Colored CTIONS On the following day he received a letter from Edith. Dear Mr. Mathews: I left the reception early because I believed you innocent. In trying to locate your assailant of last night I'm positive I trailed him for more than a mile. The traffic go-and-stop signal helped him to elude me; but I saw his features plainly near a street lamp. Couldn't make out the number of the machine he used but I will know him anywhere. Sincerely, EDITH HOLMES. Edith deserved a lot of appreciation for her endeavor to exonerate him, he told himself. But he wasn't sure he wanted to marry her. And Veloe Delane seemed to regard him with cold condemning eyes, if he remembered last night aright. She was mistaken. But could he prove it? At the trial the circumstantial evidence went against Fred Mathews. Disgraceful verdict hung in the air, ready to descend on his hapless head; for Edith hadn't learned more of the mysterious man she had shadowed. About to pronounce sentence, the judge was interrupted by a small secret service man who came in the crowded court-room—private detective for the Gofields. "I came upon Gentleman Jones, the noted society crook, presumably asleep on Mrs. Gofield's steps the night of the robbery. I dashed a little snow in his face and he awoke. Said he came there for food and had fainted from hunger; so, I helped him off the grounds and to a square meal. Later I found a revolver on the terrace and concluded he played a trick on me." Right there the jury hung up. Veloe pretended concern, every vestige of cynicism gone from her expression. But Edith sat staring at Fred with eyes of unfathomable depths. At home again, he sent Veloe a bouquet of orchids for her birthday. Calling later in the evening he saw nothing of the flowers, though she acknowledged the gift. He hoped she hadn't thrown them away; for they were valuable. What did become of them? Excusing himself he departed and hired a boy to phone Miss Delane and ask to speak to the maid. The girl probably knew what had become of the orchids. Fred learned that the girl had gone to the Maids' and Chauffeurs' Ball. In frantic haste he took a taxi there and located the maid. "Miss Delane gave me a bunch of white orchids," the girl told him. "What did you do with them?" he prompted, chagrined and humiliated. "Why? Were they very valuable?" breathlessly aske the girl. "Yes,—very expensive—unusually so. Where are they?" Fred endured agony for some seconds. "I intended to wear them at the ball," she finally confessed, "But—" "Go on," he urged. "I forgot them and left them in a taxi!" The girl looked frightened "Were they worth a hundred dollars?" "More than five hundred dollars." Fred vouchsafed in dejection. Then he went to the society ball where he was sure to find Veloe to give her a piece of his mind. The ride to the premises altered his decision. He was thro' with Veloe—she had shot her bolt. Next he aimed to test Edith Holmes. Hearing her voice, he turned sharply. "There is that man," she was saying. Fred glared sternly at a tall man who held a bunch of orchids in his rgiht hand. Dramatically stepping closer, he hit the man and grasped the orchids at the same time. As he turned to examine them the villain attacked him and regained the flowers. Mid the alarm and commotion two detectives arrived and took Gentleman Jones into custody. Taking the prisoner's wrist in his iron right hand, Fred made the bones crack while the bouquet dropped to the floor. He inspected his flowers with evident satisfaction; then phoned the district attorney the real culprit was under arrest. In return he learned that he, himself was exonerated. "Where did you get these flowers?" Fred questioned the captive. "In a taxi," growled the other. "I came in to see what lady had forgotten them." "We want you for something else," voiced his captors and led him away. "A bouquet for you," Fred surprised Edith. "This was lost once, but I got it back. These orchids are very dear." Veloe Delane, who stood behind Edith, overheard this. "So thoughtful of you," smiled Edith, burying her chin in the petals and inhaling deeply. "Anything from you is highly prized, Mr. Mathews. This gift is dear and you are a—dear." Veloe nearly swooned in chagrined astonishment and remorse at Fred's next words. "What makes these orchids so valuable, Edith, is this $1,000 diamond ring tied to a stem beneath the petals. You're worth it and more—" Dancing music resumed, but one couple turned intuitively to the balcony where soft velvet portiers kept the silver moon from shining within. The music was never so sweet and reposeful and soothing as two hearts watched silent twinkling stars tell how very bright the world is.

LOCAL TEACHERQUALIFIES AS C. P. A. Mr. John W. Cromwell, Jr., a teacher in the Department of Business Practice, of Dunbar High School, has recently won superior honors in his chosen field of accounting. During the Christmas holidays, Mr. Cromwell was notified that he had qualified as a Certified Public Accountant through examinations conducted by the American Institute of Accountants. His success brings him the honor of being the second of the only two colored Certified Public Accountants in the United States. Mr. Chas. Mitchell, of Institute, West Virginia, enjoys the distinction of being the pioneer in the field. Mr. Cromwell's success, however, coming so soon after he began studying and teaching bookkeeping, is a most complimentary tribute to his scholarship and industry. Mr. Cromwell's scholastic career has been both notable and inspiring. After completing his preparatory education in the local schools and Howard University Academy, he entered Dartmouth College, from which institution he was graduated, with the degree of A.B., in 1906. One year later he received the degree of A.M. from his Alma Mater. During his college career, he won many prizes and honors culminating in his election to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. In the summer of 1916, he completed a quarter of study in the University of Chicago. In 1920, he was graduated from the La Salle Extension University, receiving his diploma for work completed in higher accounting. Teaching as a career attracted Mr. Cromwell. He was appointed to a teachership in German in the intermediate grades of the local schools, when the junior high school had its inception in the District schools. Later, he was transferred to the M Street High School, now Dunbar, and given a schedule in German and mathematics. In 1919, when the Department of Business Practice was officially established under a Head of Department, he was transferred, at his own request, to this department to teach bookkeeping. Mr. Cromwell comes from a family of students and teachers who believe J. F.

He is an author who is widely known for his scholarly attainments. Though advanced in years, he is still active in all progressive educational and racial movements. Unsought honors which have come to Mr. Cromwell have been numerous. Among the most cherished of his distinctions, in addition to his membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society, is his election to the American Mathematical Society and to the Mathematical Association of America, two societies that have national reputations. Election to either means a recognition of scholarly achievement Mr. Cromwell is married and has one daughter His social affiliations are restricted almost solely to his membership in the Mu-So-Lit Club. The Dunbar High School is to be congratulated upon the success of Mr. Cromwell, and the Department of Business Practice has no better way of attesting its increasing efficiency than by pointing with pride to the expert training of such a teacher as Mr Cromwell. Listen To Men of Wisdom "Men are seldom, if ever, more innocently employed than when they are honestly making money," says Johnson; and Mr. Orrin C. Lester, Acting Director, Treasury Department, has said: "The greatest asset of a nation is the morale of its people, and the greatest influence in keeping up morale is financial independence. Until one has removed his financial shackles and has a little money to the good, he can not rise to the full advantage of a citizen. He lacks confidence to accept responsibility. He lacks courage to plan for the future. He lacks means to take advantage of opportunity. A little money saved from honest work and invested successfully is one of the essentials of complete citizenship." The first step toward financial success is a job. The next step is to save something from the job, and to FIND A JOB FOR WHAT YOU SAVE. There is a job for every dollar. How successful a dollar may be at its job depends upon HOW GOOD A JOB IS SELECTED FOR IT. Our company is now engaged in selecting the very best jobs for your dollars.

DAVIDSON #################################################################### Two of the clearest earmarks of a good investment are tangible assets behind the issue and the earning power of the corporation. This is a natural sequence to the factor of safety of principal which is so essential to good investments. Tangible assets behind an issue guarantees a return of principal in case of dissolution, if the terms so provide. For this reason Bonds, which are promises to pay and not evidences of partnership, are considered the safest, most reliable, and are the most common form of pure investment. Probably quite as important as tangible assets in determining good investment values is the factor of earning power as evidenced by past experience. As one authority has so well put it, "As continuity of income is essential, it is especially important that these charges (dividend obligations) be earned with a fair margin even in poor years." With these earmarks in mind, it is probably more easy to understand why the great majority of Negro Securities cannot be classed as investments, but if at all good, must be put in the category of worthy speculations. Probably ninety per cent of Negro Corporations are not more than four years old. Few have earned sufficient to boast of large tangible assets. Few Negro corporations have issued Bonds at all. The earning power of these corporations as evidenced by the declaration of dividends is negligible, when we consider that out of the BEST—QUICKER THAN THE REST" CAB SERVICE The North 133 or North 63 By Colored Service of this kind in D.

When we consider that innumerable white corporations which have paid dividends for many years are still classed as speculations, we can see how far from the class of good investments is the average Negro Security. Moreover, a large proportion of Negro corporations of recent years are promotion schemes, pure and simple. In practically any state, New York included, a corporation may come into being for the amount of fees charged without anything behind it and with little before it but uncertain prospects. A great many of our corporations are wild chances. These corporations must be looked upon as speculations, if we are to be honest with ourselves. Not the widest stretch of imagination can warrant their classification as investments. Then naturally comes the question, "Should the Negro speculate in Negro Securities?" The answer is that such speculation is worthy and wise if a careful analysis is made of the proposition, management and organization, and if but a small and definite proportion of a surplus is used for this purpose, and that above all such speculation is necessary from the broad viewpoint of race growth. The analysis of the proposition by the prospective speculator should be directed toward determining the feasibility and practicability of the project. Race pride should not enter at all into this analysis. The absurdity of endorsing a proposition looking toward the establishment and maintenance of another subway system in New York over an already covered route, for example, simply because such an accomplishment would be an honor to Negro Says her hair has grown 28 inches long by using this wonderful hair grower ro corporations in y about ten have and probably not four have declared ability, is apparent on the face of it. The proposition itself, regardless of sentimental considerations must be practicable and workable. Y. W. C. The organization of the corporation should be carefully scrutinized. Overcapitalized companies should be avoided. The provisions of the issue which the prospect is considering purchasing should be known. Callable Preferred Stock, as a rule, should be passed up by the speculator, for such a stock carries all the disadvantages of an investment, such as limit of returns, with none of the advantages, such as guarantees of payment backed up by tangible assets. Common stock in new companies is better for the speculator than any other class with the exception of fully participating preferred stock. Provision for sinking funds add much to the value of corporations issuing their first stocks. The management, above all, should be carefully considered by him who would risk his money. The best organized proposition in the world will fail under dishonest or incompetent management. The prospective purchaser of stock should inquire closely into the records of the men at the helm and into their business ability and into their knowledge of the business in which they are engaged. Answers to Inquiries Fin. Ed. Tribune: I have $500.00 which I would like to invest profitably. I have a steady position and could add more to my investment funds monthly. I cannot afford to lose.—O. M. C Wash. D. C. Answer: At least half of your money should go into gilt-edge Preferred Stocks and Bonds. One quarter should go into seasoned stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange that are of real worth and offer opportunity to take advantage of an increase in price; and one quarter should go into a good local colored speculation. Thanks to the Partial Payment Plan which may be used, the best stocks and Bonds can be purchased for approximately 20 per cent of the total price as a first payment. The following division is recommended: Gilt-Edge Securities (to be purchased outright) Security Apr. Price Apr. Yield Diam'd Match 7½ Bond.. $107 6.70% Corn Prod. 7 cum. pref. . 107 6.54% Gen.

Truck pref. ..... 71 9.9% Average Yield ..... 8.50% After a first payment of $109.00 the balance on this group of stocks can be paid in monthly payments of about $50.00 or more as you feel able. The investment of your funds now leaves a balance of $75.00 from the original $500.00. This could be put into some worth while local colored speculation. There are several of these which might be mentioned. From our investigations we have found that the Union Laborers Savings Bank probably combines as well as any and better than many the essential earmarks of a good "speeveventment." The proposition is fundamentally sound. The management appears honest and efficient, and the theoretical safety of a banking proposition is known and proved. We should surely advise that you put as much as $75.00 of your total (and more as you could spare it) into this proposition which has indeed great possibilities. On the investment of your funds as above suggested you may be sure that you are well on the right road to financial independence. Fin. Ed.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI HOLDS GREAT CONVENTION Cleveland, O.—The eleventh annual convention of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, held in Cleveland, December 27-31, inclusive, was one of the greatest ever held. There were 200 delegates. There were large representations from the Universities of Iowa, Ohio, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Illinois, Chicago, New York, Howard, Meharry, Columbia, Lincoln, Temple, Northwestern, Washburn, and Morehouse colleges. The alumni chapters were well represented. All of the business sessions of the Fraternity were held in the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Annex. At this session the convention adopted a national movement, which had been under consideration a long time. The movement will be a campaign for "Bigger Negro Business in America." The officers elected for the year are: Prof. George F. David, Grand Polemarch, Wilberforce University; Dr. C. Leon Wilson, Grand Keeper of Records, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. W. F. Peters, Ohio State University, Vice Grand Polemarch; Rev. W. H. Jamieson, Grand Keeper of Exchequer, Peoria, Ill.; Mr. I. J. K. Wells, Grand Strategus, Temple University; Mr. J. W. Scott, Lieut.

On the other hand the rate of dividends declared to the Preferred Stockholders is fixed by the By-Laws while the rate of dividends to Common Stockholders depends only on the progress the company has made—everything that is left belongs to them. A First Preferred 8% Stock, for example, promises to pay 8% (if earned and declared) to the holder before anything can be paid to the Common Stockholder. Washington on and Company Securities St., N.

In the first place, it has a story, a really gripping story of love and intrigue, in which a young American is given the opportunity of his life to exercise his intelligence and his physical courage. The spur for all his efforts is an American girl who has been brought to San Francisco's Chinatown after her parents were killed in the Boxer uprising of 1899. This exciting tale is by Gouverneur Morris, one of the Eminent Authors whose productions are being made at the Goldwyn studios. It was directed by Frank Lloyd. A second point of satisfaction is the acting of beautiful Leatrice Joy as the American girl. Miss Joy, it will be remembered, played the role of Bunty in the Goldwyn production of "Bunty Pulls the Strings." Not only is the acting in "A Tale of Two Worlds" excellent, but the production itself Howard Week Starting Matinees—Tuesday— J. and F.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922. Sports of all Sorts What is Wrong with Basket Ball in the District? To date only six basket ball games have been played on local courts. Quite a contrast from last season when this particular sport was at high ebb. Carlisle, Howard, Alco, High Schools, and "Y" were all very active during the 1920-1921 court period. The followers of the local teams are wondering what is the matter with Messrs. Conway of the Carlisle and Carter and Thompson of the Alco. We are of the opinion that local fandom would enjoy a few real games—say, the appearance of the Atlantic City Vandals, N. Y. Spartans, Pittsburg Loendi, Chicago Defenders or any teams of national fame and popularity. Of course most of the well known teams are professionals, but District lovers of this favorite sport would rally to support a mammoth basket ball game. Only about six or seven weeks remain for this sport so let us have some big circuit stuff. More Worry for Dempsey Reports from the Wills-Tate ten-round draw indicate that instead of one formidable foe the white heavy-weight champion now has two. Seemingly Bill Tate has found himself, for no fighter could have withstood the mighty punches administered by Wills but one of class. Truly two great fighters are Wills and Tate; and all heavies will do well to follow the example of the champion and avoid them. The way Wills toyed with Langford Tuesday will cause his stocks to go up, for Sam can trim all of the white aspirants in one night. How long will the fair-minded public and press allow a man to bear the crown as champion and yet be afraid to defend his honors? An Acknowledged Authority There are few if any individuals in the country more versed in basket ball than Mr. Benjamin Washington, instructor at Armstrong. Mr. Washington was present at the Rules Committee meeting at Philadelphia and recently at Annapolis. At the latter meeting were all the leading white officials of the country. Mr. Washington being the only Race man present. Plays and corresponding rules were demonstrated and discussed thoroughly by these officials. A similar meeting was recently held at Armstrong and Mr. Washington explained changes and amendments of the rules to a hundred or more members of city teams. Mr. Washington will continue to answer questions in The Tribune on plays that occur in local games. Langford Easy for Wills Portland, Ore. Jan. 17, 1922—Harry Wills had no trouble in gaining the decision over Sam Langford here tonight before a crowd that packed the capacity of the arena. The younger fighter would time and again deal his terrific body punches and more than once had his opponent near the knockout state, however, the Bostonian would rally and save himself. Wills although appearing for the second time within a week and against formidable foes made an exceptional showing. Armstrong Wins First Two Armstrong Wins First Two With one of the best machines that has represented the school on the court for sometime the Armstrong High Quint opened the season Saturday with a victory over the 12th St. "Y" five 28-23. It was a fast and even more closely contested game than the score indicates but the teamplay of the winners told. Blackwell and Turner for the winners and Baker and Lewis for the "Y" were the chief point-makers. The fact should not be over-looked that the "Y" recently defeated Wilberforce who in turn downed Hampton. Armstrong Repeats The game Monday between Armstrong and Baltimore High School basketball teams on the former's court resulted in an easy win for the locals 33-6. Coach Westmoreland tried out his entire squad and at no time were the visitors dangerous. Turner, Ellis, Trigg and Blackwell were the outstanding players of the District boys but many of the substitutes showed up so well that it was hard to determine the varsity. Brown played best for the Baltimorians. WILBERFORCE MADE GOOD SHOWING ON RECENT TRIP Wilberforce, Ohio., Jan. 14 (special) —Wilberforce University's basket ball team is making a strong bid for the Intercollegiate Championship this season. The team has just returned from an extensive trip through the East, where they met the "Cream" of basket ball talent in that section. Unfortunately, however, the plucky Ohicans could not stand up under the terrific pace set by the strong Eastern clubs, and the majority of the games were lost. At Hampton, Wilberforce came into her own, and defeated the seasiders in a thrilling contest, which was featured by sensational shooting high class blocking and excellent floor work, on the part of both teams. The treatment accorded the Wilberforceans throughout the East, both on and off the Court was exceptionally good. Opponents. Pittsburgh, Loendi, 55 .....20 Orange, N.

The lanky "Cupid" is jumping center, and is the ranking point scorer on the team. "Count" Hull and Fisher, forwards, are also bright sparklers and with Banks, Mason, McDonald, Clarkson and Carey, guards and forwards, Coach Pettijohn and Captain McGee, stellar guard, are looking forward with the expectation of victory when Lincoln University and West Virginia Inst., come to town next month. HOWARD'S TRACK TEAM PRE PARES FOR BIG EVENTS Another year of brilliant indoor track and field successes is expected by the Howard University Track Team with the announcement of its entry in a number of meets for the coming season. The members of last year's track team have already reported to Coach Morrison for training and along with them have come a large number of recruits. Of the most significant events in which the Howard Track Team will participate this year is the Penn Relay Games to be held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in April. This year Howard has been listed to compete in the One Mile College Relay against institutions having a higher rating in this event than those aganist whom she competed last year, having taken first place, tended to increase the interest in this college sport at the University and it is predicted that although the Varsiy Relay Team is to compete in a faster class this year, it will becoming acquit itself. Up to the present time, Howard University has been entered for the Melrose Games to be held at Madison Square Garden, New York City, on February 1, 1922, to compete in the 600 yard indoor run; the University is sending four men to participate in events in the Boston Athletic Association games to be held in Boston, Mass., on the 4th of February. Two teams are to be entered in the Penn. Relay Games to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., on April 29 to 30, 1922.

Poor teamplay, rough playing and ba¢ shooting marred the game. Neither team had a capable goal tosser. With a five-point lead late in the last hal the local’s coach sent in a new combination but they were unable t hold their own and soon lost the lea¢ and game. There was no outstanding player but Taylor of the winners wa: probably the most aggressive. ARMSTRONG TRIMMED Armstrong tossers were defeated on their own court Monday night by the Holy Name Guild 32-20. At team- work Coach Westmoreland’s basket- ‘eers more than held their own but su- perior size and height decided the contest. Graves, Davis and Frazier played best for the Holy Name.

He is not the kid-glove or silver-spoon type of individual, but like that vast army of sturdy Howard men who worked and studied under all sorts of handicaps, he has finally come to the point of high efficiency and social worth in this his day and generation. Professor Turner enjoys the distinction of being the first Negro in this [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. Professor Thomas W. Turner country to receive the degree of Ph.

That's extremely good and interesting news, eh? Well, the chairman of Committee on Prizes, Mrs. Gregoria Fraser-Goins of "The Dunbar Song Leaders" says that several have entered compositions and of course that spells success for the movement. The competition will be keen no doubt and all the better. It should be stimulative as well as educational to many more musically inclined and bring about greater impetus in future similar affairs. We await results in anxiety. Burrville Organizes Young Music Club Burrville young folk certainly are a fine and intelligent group. Here one may find abundant talent, spirit and energy and this young music club recently organized at the Center is evidence all sufficient with Hazel Washington president; Josephine Ford vice-president; Gladys M. Clinton, secretary, and Mrs. Hayes, treasurer; membership as follows: Gwendolyn Morrison, Thelma Greene, Sara Jackson, Bessie Saunders, Alice Mathews, Mary Hayes, Myra Hayes, Grace James, Ruth James, Thelma Davis, Ethel James, and Rosa Saunders.

Quite a few have promised to join this group. Mrs. Washington, who is directing the music activities in the Center, is doing commendably indeed, with a juvenile piano class ranging from 6 to 10 years old. She has in training about (40) children in the operetta "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," awaiting production upon the installation of lights in the new adjoining addition.

D. Professor Turner has held the following positions since his graduation from college in 1901: instructor, Tuskegee Institute, 1902; Baltimore High School 1903-1910; St. Louis High School, 1910-1911; Baltimore High School, 1911-1913; Professor of Applied Biology and Nature Study, Howard University, 1913; Acting Dean of the School of Education, 1918-1920; on sabbatical leave 1920-1921.

Professor Turner is a public spirited and useful citizen. His light is not hidden behind an academic bushel, but rather is allowed to shine wherever and whenever it is needed. He is particularly interested in the economic phase of Botany as it manifests itself in agricultural and rural education. Very recently he was called to deliver a series of lectures to a group of rural ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Morgan College, Baltimore Md., also to Farmers, County agents and Teachers at Hampton Institute. For the past three years he has been engaged in special research work in connection with the U. S. D. A. Prof. Turner seeks every opportunity to apply the principles of his special science to one of the greatest of all problems, namely the food problem, thereby contributing his part toward the general betterment of mankind. tors of this attractive book of music, consisting of modernized settings of French children's songs with the original melodies unchanged and written in the untranslatable folk-idiom with no attempt to spoil them by translation into English, have produced something entirely new and original. Its appeal is to children of all ages who can easily be taught to sing them but the accompaniments will demand the assistance of the older ones. The fact that they are entirely in French only makes the book more valuable as a means of introducing the child to the easy idiom of a language that is daily becoming more necessary to the English-speaking world. The book includes "Nous n'irons plus au bois," II etait une bergere, and five other interesting selections of merit.

BEAN TRANSFERRED In the reorganization of the police department, Capt. T. R. Bean, of the 8th precinct, was transferred to the 7th precinct. He has been connected with the 8th precinct for the past twelve years. While there he was made sergeant, then was promoted to lieutenant, in August, 1918. In June, 1919 he was made acting captain, and made a regular captain August 10, 1919. Whenever a matter was brought to Captain Bean in the proper spirit, he gave it his personal attention. He was anxious for the protection of the people in his district. Captain E. D. Keefe is the new captain of the 8th precinct. He was transferred from the 3rd precinct, where he had served for a number of years. He was made captain in conjunction with his transfer from precinct three. He appears to be a very fair man. He says when a man is right there is no more to it. The Tribune welcomes the new captain. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sirs: Will you please insert this letter in your paper for two weeks: a letter of thanks to the "OLD EAST INDIAN HAIR POMADE CO." of 1413 Penna. Ave., Baltimore, Md. I am a woman of 48 years of age and lost my hair when I was 12 years old and seemed impossible for me to ever get any more. I spent money for every treatment of any note and tried several hair dressers and nothing seemed to do any good. So I met a friend, Mrs. Whithall of 4½ street, S. W., and I asked her what she was using on her hair. She said she was using the "OLD EAST INDIAN HAIR POMADE SHAMPOO and TONIC." She said she got it at Dr. Hailsstork's, 2nd and H Street, S. W. She told me I could get it anywhere; at all the Peoples Drug Stores, O'Connell, The Associated Drug Stores, Dr. Nappers, Dr. McGuires, and Dr. Shipley. So I went to 1st and K Streets, N. W., and got a full treatment for $1.25. I have used three full treatments and some extra pomades. Now my heart is growing fine. I can fix it any way I desire. If your hair is short, this treatment will certainly grow it. It's certainly wonderful for men and women. If you want long beautiful hair straight hair, don't fool with any more combs. Go to the drug store and get you some Old East Indian Hair treatment and use according to the direction and you will not forget it. MRS. GRAHAM, 15 Defrees St., N. W., Wash., D. C. —adv.

P. C. C. now An Encouraging Week This has been rather an encouraging week. Our little friends have sent in pecks of letters but many found their way to the goat. Just the best letters will be published from now on, so be neat, write on one side of paper only, number each sheet, and write plainly. The T. P. C. C. took a rather big jump but it isn't up to the mark. The "Thrift Contest" is to cause more interest in the T. P. C. C. and we are doing fairly well—but must do better. How many of your friends have you asked to join? Get them to join now so they will be listed in the first group of twenty with you. Boost your Tribune Post Card Club. The pictures sent in are all very very good, we wish there were more sent in. Mail us more as often as you want to. We suggest, again, that you send a letter along with your solutions. Do not repeat your first letter, but always place your age after your name. To the readers who have never written to the pages, we invite you to do so. Give name, address, age, school, teacher's name, and grade. Even if you do not send in solutions let us hear from you. A little friendly letter will be appreciated. Never lay your paper aside after reading the Children's Page. Read the news in it. Do you read daily papers? Do you say "nigger?" Do you own a pet or doll? Are you a member of a social club? Who do you think is the greatest Negro that ever lived? These are some things you could write about. Let us hear from you.

NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Aldridge, Ira: Actor. Born in Maryland in 1810. Educated at Schenectady College and Glasgow University in Scotland. He was educated, for a preacher but being inclined to follow the stage he made his debut at Royalty Theater in London in 1833. His success was immediate. Edward Kean (white) played Iago to his Othello. From London he went to Belfast and returned to London at Convent Garden. In Prussia he received a gold medal of first class art and science, previously awarded only to Humbolt, Spontini and Litz. The Emperor of Austria gave him the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold. In Russia he was equally honored. From 1852 until his death he was recognized in Europe as the first of living tragedians equalled only by the wonderful Rachael. Aldridge married a Swedish lady and had two daughters both of whom have achieved prominence in England in music. Aldridge died in Sodez, Poland, August 7, 1867. HOW TO JOIN THE T. P. C. C.

DOROTHY TRIMMER Note: Welcome. We are glad you attempted the puzzle. This time one, next time one or more, and at last, all, and then an "Honor Child."—Ed.) My dear Editor: I visited the office this evening and certainly like its appearance. "Courtesy" seems to be the motto. This year I am going to be a true-blue member. I am glad that I was a "Special" and I shall continue to work for "Honor Child." You shall hear from me as often as possible, although I am very much busied with school work, as I am taking six major subjects at school. Enclosed find answers to puzzles. VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 15). (Good luck to you in both your endeavors. Success with your studies and the reward of an "Honor Child." —Ed.) To the Editor: I am sending you a sketch of one of our health habits. I have observe this habit most of all. I am 10 years old and I am in the 5-A Grade, Garnet School. Miss C. M. Houston is my teacher. CHLORICE V. BANNISTER. (Note: The sketch is good.

I am 8 years old and I am sending you a sketch of how a little girl may help her mother. JUANITA BANNISTER. (Subject and sketch are both good. Try to send one a little better next time. That is, let every picture you send be better than the last.—Ed.) Dear Editor: I am sending in a drawing illustrating the second rule of the T. P. C. C. I hope you will like it. Since I cannot draw so well I have worked many days on it. I hope it will do for the paper. HORTENSE F. MIMS (Note: Picture was very good but too small to have printed in the page. Try again.) Dear Editor: I have not answered the puzzles and questions for a long time, but now I am going to start and take more interest in the page, so I'm sending them on to you. ***CARL BECKWITH Dear Editor: I am sending the answers to the puzzles and some of the history.

My name is Elmer Taylor, I am in the 3-A Grade. My teacher's name is Miss H. I. Webb of Lincoln School. I am eight years old and I am a route boy and a weekly reader of the Tribune. 939 R St., N. W. Dear Ed.: The poem I sent to you was copied but the story I have written was composed by me. I attend Garnet and my teacher is Miss Talbot, who is a fine teacher. I hope to be promoted to the 7-B Grade. An Act of Kindness One day as a boy was walking down the street an unkind man kicked a homeless dog from the sidewalk. The boy took the dog to a drug store and had him attended to by the clerk. The clerk was so moved by the boy's kindness that he told the boy that he didn't have to pay for the treatment. After a week the dog grew well and strong, and remained a faithful friend to the kindhearted boy. LAWRENCE W. WOOD (Note: "One more" appeared in this column last week. We suggest that only original stories and poems be sent to us—Ed.) Dear Editor: I am sending in a poem written from observation of the actions of my baby sister Thela two and one-half years old. I hope you will be pleased with it. I am a route boy of the Washington Tribune and a reader of it. My name is Raymond Taylor, I am thirteen years old and in the eighth A Grade of Lincoln School. My teacher is Mr. A. O. Stafford, and I live 420 South Capt. St., S.E. Little Brown Baby Little brown hands with touch so light Large black eyes so soft and bright: Little brown feet with ten little toes— Following mother wherever she goes. Weary baby toddling all day, Come to mother she will song you a song. Sleep baby sleep, Mother shall sing, While lovely angels Sweet dreams will bring. A GOOD SUGGESTION Dear Editor: Do you not think it would be a good idea to develop a department of self expression among our colored children? My teacher has often complained of the inability of her pupils to express intelligently in their own language articles we have read, whether they be poetry or prose. For instance the expression: "Laugh and the world laughs with you—weep and you weep alone." With your kind permission, I would ask the children of the Tribune to translate the above expression in their own words, with yourself, dear Editor, as the judge of the best interpretation. MARGUERITE TAYLOR, 6-B grade (11 years old), 420 South Capt. St., S. E., Lincoln School—Teacher, Miss E. M. Lynch. POET'S CORNER This is the beginning of a new feature of the Tribune. In this department our poetal contributors will have a chance to present their work to the public the last Saturday of each month. We desire to encourage thoe who write newspaper poetry, hoping that in so doing we may be the cause of those worthy, to forge ahead. A review of current newspaper poetry will be run here. If you approve of this feature, write and let us know. Remember that many a genius has been discovered stuck in the columns of a newspaper. THE JOLLY SLEIGHING PARTY Laugh ha-ha, girls; call, boys, call, Shout your loudest one and all, Leap and spring, and dance and spring. As the merry sleigh-bells ring, For we're a-riding, gliding o'er the snow, Voices a-ringing, singing as we go: On a jolly sleigh party. Hip hurrah, boys, ha-ha-ha, Voices echo near and far. For Jack's a-biting, biting ear and nose, And he's a-nipping ev'rybody's toes; Jest and joke and laugh most hearty On a jolly sleighing party. Boys and girls and horse and sleigh Full of snow but just as gay;— Gee-up! Wha up! Let her go,— Cold hands, cold feet,—oh the snow! But now I hear a sound of kiss, kiss, kiss, A tiny laugh, for its bliss, bliss, bliss: Laugh and joke and jest most hearty On a jolly sleighing party. MAE SMITH-JOHNSON SUNSET And now I noticed the sun was setting. Clouds, fluffy and white as carded wool hung motionless. The hitherto azure blue of the sky, shaded into a glorified gray, that melted into heliotorpe, rose, purple and gold, with flame-colored javelins, from the hand of Phoebus, striking through all, as if that monarch on retiring would disperse his train. The white clouds blushed roseate as he turned his eyes upon them. Trees, wood and lake faded into the dusk, the sky lost its brilliancy, birds ceased twittering, melancholy of a sort stole over me—the god of the day had withdrawn. ZORA NEALE HURSTON. (Note: Would Miss Hurston please forward her address to this department?) RECEIPT FOR HAPPINESS Just a word of sympathy from one who knows, Just a little sunshine mingled with the that overflows, Just a little sunshine migled with the rain, Drives away on'e sorrow, and soothes one's heart of pain. Just a little patience when things seem dark and drear. Just a little singing when all the world seems wrong, Fills one's soul with gladness and fills one's days with song. Just a little loving from one who's fond and true, Just a life's companion whose heart is kind and "pure," Just a little cottage where Love supremely reigns (The above suggestion has been accepted, and we hope our readers will readily send in their interpretation. Write in your "own" words exactly what "you" understand by the expression printed above—Ed.) A TRIBUNE SCRAPBOOK If there are certain features or special articles in the Children's Page that appeal to you, you would do well to obtain a blank book and paste them in it. You could also look about for a large bound volume that no one wants, and paste your clippings in it. If the printing in the book is wider than your clippings, you can get green, blue, or deep red tissue paper and paste over the book printing and it will make a neat border which will give your book a neat appearance. Always note dates of papers you cut clippings from and make note of it on a page in the back of your book. Number each clipping and you can easily refer to it by glancing at an index which you can place either in front or the back. 7 PEACE Peace! It is neither bought nor sold; It lies beyond the reach of gold; It is not won by blood and strife, Amid the din of battle rife. It is not born of things without, But proves itself, without a doubt, A hidden force, within the heart, Unknown to statesmanship and art. It is a gift of God to men, Transcending far, their loftiest ken, And yet, it only deigns to live, Where they, their faith and homage give. We clamour for a lasting peace; It cannot damn 'til hatreds cease, 'Til men within, are born anew, Cleansed and made spotless, through and through. As long as human passions yearn To claim what eyes of greed discern, And spend themselves in quest of power, Peace cannot claim her lawful dower. Thus, skilful thought and plans are vain; Peace makes a sacrifice of gain, And burns her incense on the shrine, Where truth and love, their arms entwine. EDWIN GARNET RILEY REMEMBER SHE STILL IS YOUR MOTHER No matter how wrinkled and old she may be, From all the long years she has watched over thee. No matter if you and her cannot agree Remember she still is your mother. O never forget what she has done for you Be loving and kind to her all of life thru, Don't think that it is not worth while to be true, Remember she still is your mother. Tho trouble and worry have silvered her hair Remember that she is still doing her share, Don't make here heart ache by syaing, "I don't care." Remember she still is your mother. Don't leave her in old age to live all alone Because you and her are still each other's own, Don't wait until it is too late to atone, Remember she still is your mother. Tho others prove false you can always depend On her to stick by you thru life to the end. So never say that she is not your best friend, Remember she still is your mother. She always does pray to GOD each night and day To bless you and guide you o'er life's rugged way, So when she does speak to you don't disobey. Be proud of the woman who gave to you birth Because she is more to you than all the earth, So make it your duty to up-hold her worth, Remember she still is your mother. Remember there's no one who can take her place When GOD calls her home and she has run her race, So be her best friend and scorn not her embrace. Remember she still is your mother. PERCY W. GREENE. NOTES AND COMMENTS The Afro-American, Jan. 6th selected for print "Promises" a trite little verse from a new volume of poems by Joshua Henry Jones, published by Cornhill Co. Boston, Mass. Mr. Jones is also author of a book of poems called "The Heart of the World and Other Poems." The publishers of "The Praiseworthy Muse" formerly a monthly magazine published in the interest of Negro poetry, are now editing a weekly paper in Norfolk, Va., called "The Observer." While to Washington readers to mention Salem Tutt Whitney only brings to mind "Whitney and Tutt's Smarter Set" show, to the readers of "The Freeman" Indianopolis, he is known, as a writer of clever verse. In the "Kiddies' Korner" of the "Philadelphia Tribune" we note a clever little poem by thirteen year old Ruby Sally under the title of "The Silver Bells." Ruby is a 7-A grade scholar at the Durham-Pollock school. F. MORRIS MURRAY ..... President WILLIAM O. WALKER ..... Managing Editor J. A. G. LuVALLE .....

It is evident that all the howling we have heard about Germans being against colored troops was race prejudice propaganda originating in the United States. In the rearrangement of the position of the army of occupation on the Rhine, all the troops were withdrawn from the little town of Doppard. The people of this town are regretting the transfer of the troops and have asked that Gen. DeGoutte reconsider his order and give them the colored French troops. Doppard has a population of 6,000 and they miss the money that was spent by the garrison stationed there. It is a fact that color prejudice in the United States will resort to any kind of propaganda to support its claims and justify its inhuman attacks upon colored citizens of this country. White officers and enlisted men in the army carried unbelievable tales to France about the colored people of America. After the war they have kept up a relentless propaganda about Germany being dissatisfied with the colored French troops in the Army of occupation. Race prejudice of the United States has been willing to assist its former enemy, Germany, to spread color animosity. FAKE LEADERSHIP As the time draws near for the be race leaders, with headquarter have begun to send out fake informs. The time for lining age is drawing near and the race leaders are so anxious to do something for them, a bosses that they are lining up next fall, that they resort to false and misleading. In a dispatch sent out by the vania Avenue, which appears week, he says: "Valuable workee on Legislative Relief, and has helped to favorably influence Republican leaders, . . . by a office such as Register of the Recorder of Deeds in the Dip positions, which under previous colored men have filled." Could any one send out who seems rather sinister that one being printed in the colored pointed a white man, Harley Columbia as Register of the "of this self-styled committee, for Recorder and was rejected can leaders," with whom "the influence. The dispatch referred to abomittee on Legislative Relief it are on the job—of looking for single thing have they done for that they are trying to deceive. President Wilson, altho a Patterson of Muskogee, Okla. of the Treasury. President styled leaders would have the much influence, did not even mention. Nor has there been a Minister to Haiti. How can such news articles when the time draws near for the spring primaries, leaders, with headquarters on Pennsylvanian to send out fake news which mislead. The time for lining up for more pork is growing near and the press agents of them are so anxious to impress the people they something for them, and to impress them that they are lining up the Negroes to be that they resort to statements that are misleading. Patch sent out by the press agent at 12 noon, which appeared in some of the days: "Valuable work is being done by the legislative Relief, and which, to a gratified to favorably influence Senators, Congressmen, . . . by way of appointment, as Register of the Treasury, Minister of Deeds in the District of Columbia and which under previous Republican Admins have filled." Any one send out worse "bunk" than the other sinister that on the very day this stated in the colored papers, President B. White man, Harley V. Steelman, of the Registrar of the Treasury. One of the self-styled committee, Link Johnson, was holder and was rejected by "the Senators and," with whom "the committee" claims hasPatch referred to above goes on to say that Legislative Relief is still on the job." The job—of looking for pork and patronage—have they done for the masses of colony are trying to deceive by these fake news. But Wilson, altho a Democrat, did nominate of Muskogee, Okla. (a colored man), for treasury. President Harding, with whom leaders would have the people believe the science, did not even name a colored man for has there been a Recorder appointed on Haiti. How can they have the nerve articles when the facts deny their state As the time draws near for the spring primaries, the would-be race leaders, with headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue, have begun to send out fake news which misleads and misinforms. The time for lining up for more pork and patronage is drawing near and the press agents of these would-be race leaders are so anxious to impress the people that they are doing something for them, and to impress their political bosses that they are lining up the Negroes to be delivered next fall, that they resort to statements that are absolutely false and misleading. In a dispatch sent out by the press agent at 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue, which appeared in some of the papers last week, he says: "Valuable work is being done by the Committee on Legislative Relief, and which, to a gratifying degree, has helped to favorably influence Senators, Congressmen and Republican leaders, . . . by way of appointment to federal office such as Register of the Treasury, Minister to Haiti, Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia and similar positions, which under previous Republican Administrations colored men have filled." Could any one send out worse "bunk" than that? And it seems rather sinister that on the very day this "stuff" was being printed in the colored papers, President Harding appointed a white man, Harley V. Steelman, of the District of Columbia as Register of the Treasury. One of the members of this self-styled committee, Link Johnson, was nominated for Recorder and was rejected by "the Senators and Republican leaders," with whom "the committee" claims have so much influence. The dispatch referred to above goes on to say that "the Committee on Legislative Relief is still on the job." Sure, they are on the job—of looking for pork and patronage. Not one single thing have they done for the masses of colored people that they are trying to deceive by these fake news stories. President Wilson, altho a Democrat, did nominate a Mr. Patterson of Muskogee, Okla. (a colored man), for Register of the Treasury. President Harding, with whom these self-styled leaders would have the people believe they have so much influence, did not even name a colored man for this position. Nor has there been a Recorder appointed or a colored minister to Haiti. How can they have the nerve to send out such news articles when the facts deny their statements? POPULAR STARS AT HOWARD SUPPER SHOWS THIS WEEK PULLMAN PORTER TIPS Bryant Washburn Ethel Clayton Sunday and Monday, Bryant Washburn will be seen in "The Road to London," a romance of a red-blooded Yank and a blue-blooded Queen. It is an exciting entaglement of a Yankee, son of a millionaire, and an aristocratic British niece of a Duchess. "The Road to London" takes you over the hills of hilarity, past the vales of adventure, and across the road to romance. There is action, surprise, climax, and laughter. For three days beginning Tuesday, Betty Compson in "Ladies Must Live." It tells the story of the "lilies" of society—silken darlings of a hundred cities, basking in pleasure while others pay the bills. Told in vivid, intimate scenes at the top and the bottom of life—scenes that shimmer with fashion or beat with love deep down in humanity's heart. Friday and Saturday, Ethel Clayton in "Beyond" will be shown. It is said to be one of the most remarkable photoplays in which this beautiful and accomplished star has yet appeared. The theme is appealing, and settings beautiful, the direction artistic, and the support headed by Charles Meredith, beyond criticism. The photoplay has an especial appeal to the women because of the rich gowns worn by the star in this production. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` 08 clawing we have heard about Gergoops was race prejudice propa- sed States. position of the army of occupa- ops were withdrawn from the people of this town are regreta- s and have asked that Gen.

Wesley offered a motion to defer the installation until an executive session of the Alliance could be held to investigate the vice-president Rev. W. A. Taylor. Rev. C. D. Turpeau objected to this motion on the ground that he was not aware of an emergency that necessitated it. The ```markdown ``` vote showed 4 for and 5 against the motion and the installation went on with the officers as follows: Rev. J. S. Carroll president; Rev. W. A. Taylor, of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, vice-president; Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, secretary; G. W. Nicholas, assistant secretary; and Rev. D. A. Wiseman, treasurer. Revs. Wiseman, C. M. Tanner, E. D. W. Jones and J. Milton Waldron were absent. A banquet was served in the basement of the church following the installation. and rented to colored people—an exceptionally rare opportunity. Already a large number of persons, who desire the tenacity of these houses, have placed their names upon the waiting list. An interview with the subject of this sketch discloses the fact that Mr. Hunter, though exceedingly well liked by his clients, is of rather modest and reserved nature. However, he attributes much of his success to the shrewdness of his wife, Mrs. Huntor, who naturally acquired her business from her father, Mr. Simion Di CENSUS OFFICE CLERKS ENTERTAIN CENSUS OFFICE CLERKS ENTERTAIN Scottish Rite Temple Scene of Brilliant Reception and Dance Tusday evening at the Scottish Rite Temple, 1633 Eleventh Street, N.

Hunter, realty dealer, with offices at 1601 Seventh Street, northwest, within a comparatively short time, has sprung into prominence, because of his square-dealing methods and his persistent efforts to improve the housing conditions among the colored people of Washington. Mr. Hunter gained much of his business experience from Mr. Max G. Cohn of New York City, in whose employ he served for several years. A. E. J. D. HUNTER Successful Realtor Some of the properties recently sold, include the Rutty estate which comprised a row of thirty-two houses on Tenth street and on Florida Avenue, most of which, have been purchased by colored people, who had been practically forced into the streets. A few days ago, Mr. Hunter effected the purchase of a thirty-two acre farm from Mr. Robert Wright. Since January 1st, the Real Estate Exchange has purchased fifteen houses in various sections of the city, all of which will be renovated immediately and rented to colored people—an exceptionally rare opportunity. Already a large number of persons, who desire the tenacity of these houses, have placed their names upon the waiting list. An interview with the subject of this sketch discloses the fact that Mr. Hunter, though exceedingly wellliked by his clients, is of rather modest and reserved nature. However, he attributes much of his success to the shrewdness of his wife, Mrs. Hunter, who naturally acquired her business tact from her father, Mr. Simion Dixon, a well known packet-boat owner and a builder of this city. ALEXANDRIA. VA., NEWS Citizen's Welfare Association Citizen's Welfare Association A recent report by the Citizen's Welfare Association cited the fact that the Association had placed four children in school; had secured clothing for needy children; caused by visiting members of the school board an investigation which resulted in supplying better seating facilities at the Parker-Gray school; rescued a friendless boy from serving a term in jail for vagrancy; sent a petition to the City Council to pave the streets approaching the school, and interesting people in the recent elections. The next meeting of the association will be Wednesday night, February 1st. To Investigate Ownership 10 Investigate Ownership The ownership of the sites of the old Hallowell and Snowden schools are to be investigated. These sites were originally bought by the colored people under the leadership of Northerners, for the purpose of erecting buildings on them in which Negro children should be given schooling privileges. The money for the buildings was also given by colored people. They were controlled by colored trustees among whom was Mr. John Andrew Seaton—thus the first name of the boys' school which was known as the Seaton building, later changed to Snowden School. After the death of most of the original trustees another body of trustees was elected including Mr. Augustus Lumpkins one of the original trustees. Two members of the new board were Mr. F. H. M. Murray and Mr. James Lumpkins. It is stated that this trustee board made over the property to the City Council. It has become a question whether a clause was in the transaction stating that the ground should be held by the city only while used for the purpose of utilizing same in the interest of Negro education. Lawyer A. H. Collins has been secured by the Citizens Welfare Association to investigate the matter and hope at an early date to publish just how the matter acutely stands. Notice Copies of the Tribune can be obtained at the Florence Cafe, corner Wolfe and Columbus Streets, downtown and at the Florida Palm Gardens, corner Fayette and Queen Sts. uptown. General Mention Mrs. Lucy Lumpkins, 619 S. Columbus Street, is able to be out again after an illness of two weeks. On January 17th the Lafayette A. C. elected the following baseball officers: Sherman Majors, Mgr, Perry Felton, Capt., William McK. Murray, Business Mgr. An all day rally will be held at Beulah Baptist Church tomorrow with a special musical and literary service at 3:30 p. m. The Brook's Bus Line has been instructed to stop at the regular hacking stand on 12th Street between C and D Streets. Union Revivals Started The Ministers' Association have launched into a revival which started at the Beulah Baptist Church, Tuesday night of this week. This series of services are scheduled to last until February 10th. The places of meetings for next week are as follows: Monday and Tuesday, Zion; Wednesday and Thursday, Shiloh; Friday, Roberts Chapel. Services begin with prayer and praise meeting from 7:30 to 8:15, song services from 8:15 to 8:30 and regular services begin at 8:30. Petition Considered The petition of Citizen's Welfare Association for improvements to streets leading to the Parker-Gray School was referred to joint committee on streets and finance by the City Council in session Wednesday night. Elk's News Notes Edward Ford, 228 N. Payne Street, continues ill. Frank Allen and Ollie Jones are improving. Oppie Gray of East Arlington who met with an accident of falling through an elevator shaft several days ago is rapidly improving. James Minor, 528 N. Pitt Street is improving. The special services held at the Third Baptist Church, last Sunday, proved a financial success and was largely attended. The sermon was delivered by Rev. E. A. Haynes of Roberts Chapel and the Zion Baptist Choir sang. The services were held for the benefit of the ward for Colored people at the Alexandria Hospital. The colored teachers of the District held their annual institute meeting Friday at the Dunbar High School. An association was formed in the afternoon. The formation of this association severs their connection with the white teachers of the city. Assistant superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson presided. The Institute met at 9:30 and organized. At 10:00 o'clock Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, of the Department of English of the U. S. Naval Academy addressed the institute on the "Ministry of Literature." At 11:00 o'clock, Dr. John W. Withers, Dean of the school of Education of New York University, spoke on "the Burden of Elementary Education." In the afternoon Mrs. Ira Couch Wood, director of the Elizabeth McCormick Fund of Chicago, spoke on 'Health Teaching in the Public School.' Following Mrs. Wood's address the institute discussed the formation of an association which was accomplished. The colored teachers of the District have been associated with the white teachers of the District in an association. In revising the constitution and by-laws the color question arose and the presiding officer of the colored teachers would become the vice president of the asociation, in name only, without the power to preside at meetings of the association. The colored teachers resented this affront, which is alleged to be sponsored by the present superintendent. The teachers of Junior High, have stood out against this insinuating infringement and others joined them and the formation of the association Friday is the result of this infringement. The night schools of the city are surpassing the expectation of the school officials. The last report on enrollment for the colored schools gave 938 males and 1,200 females, making a total of 2,138 persons attending the night schools of the District. This is indeed a commendable showing and the work that is being done by these students impresses the officials with the real service that the night schools are rendering the citizenry and the real value of the schools. The ages of the persons attending the night schools range from 14 to 71. Practically every course that is being taught in the day schools is available for the night school students also. The principal literary work is done in the first eight grades. Domestic art and science, millinery and business practice are taught the females while Electricity, auto-mechanics, carpentry, and business practice are taught the males. Armstrong Manual Training leads in this work, with a full four year course. Sewing and carpentry are taught at Birney and Deanwood, in addition to the literary work. Carpentry at Stevens and Garfield; sewing and millinery at Phillips and the business practice courses at Dunbar High. Assistant superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson said the night schools are filling a vital need among the grown ups of the District and they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make up, as far as possible for their inability to attend school while they were young. This is indeed an ac- Mrs. M. E. Barbour, 42 Pierce St., N.W. Mrs. L. Briles, 58 Murtel St., N.E. Mrs. E. Brown, 70 L St., N.W. Mrs. Dr. Forest, 457 N St., N.W. Mrs. Wade, 1827 4th St., N.W.

This is making more friends for education in our group. By apportioning the funds of $75,-000 for the night schools, it has been arranged for the night schools to continue until June the First.
