The Washington Tribune WEST VIRGINIAN FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS WAS DARK HORSE IN RACE FOR G. O. P. PLUM All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, No. 39. WEST W WAS DARK HOR RACE FOR New Appointee is Very Little Known By Politicians Here ATTENDED SCHOOL AT HOWARD Comes Highly Recommended As a Man of Strong Character The nomination by the President Thursday of Attorney Arthur G. Froe, of Welch W. Va., to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, fell like a bombshell on the followers of the Republican plans. Mr. Froe's nomination came as a complete surprise to the colored citizens of the country because he has not figured in national politics. Mr. Froe is a law partner of Representative Capehart of Welch, W. Va., and is a very successful lawyer. Representative Capehart is one of the two colored Representatives in the West Virginia Legislature. While in the city Mr. Froe stopped with Dr. J. E. Taylor, 1623 S., Street, N. W., who is a lifelong friend and school-mate of Mr. Froe. In speaking of Mr. Froe, Dr. Taylor said: "Mr. Froe has not had one thing given to him; he has earned everything that he has gotten. He is a very fine man and has made quite a success in his practice there in Welch. He has an analytical mind and very persevering in his endeavors. He is not a politician but an ardent worker, and this appointment comes to him because he has merited it." Mr. Froe was born in Grayson County, Virginia in 1879, and was raised in Pocahontas. He graduated from the Virginia Normal and Indus. Inst. at Petersburg, Va. He attended Shaw University for awhile and took a part of his law course at Howard. He married a Miss Hattie Johnson, of Petersburg, who was a teacher in the school from which he graduated. They have no children. Senator Elkins of West Virginia has contended for patronage for his state and in his contention has not forgotten his colored constituents. It was thru Senator Elkins and Congressman Goodykoontz that Mr. Froe's appointment was made. Welch, West Va., in McDowell County which has a colored population of 14,667; 5,833 of whom vote, which gives them the balance of power for the county. McDowell has proven to be the most active county in the state for colored voters and they have worked to their advantage. The total colored population of West Virginia is only about 86,000 and they are given as much, if not more recognition than any other state in the union. The first colored man to be appointed to the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District was Frederick Douglass who was appointed to the office by President Garfield. Since then seven colored men have been appointed to that office. President Cleveland nominated, James C. Matthews, of Albany, N. Y., but owing to a tie between the Democrats and Republicans of the Senate then he was not confirmed. However, he served thru the vacation period of Congress for about nine months. At the next session of Congress, President Cleveland sent in the name of James M. Trotter, father of Monroe Trotter who was confirmed and served out the remainder of the term. In 1889 President Harrison appointed B. K. Bruce as Recorder of Deeds. In Cleveland's second term, 1803-97; C. H. J. Taylor was Recorder of Deeds. McKinley appointed Henry P. Cheatham, who served thru both terms. President Roosevelt apointed VIRGINIA RSE IN G. O. P. PLUM Fire Destroys Ideal Lunch The Ideal Lunch, formerly located at 1927 Fourteenth Street, northwest, was completely destroyed by fire last Saturday night, probably about the time of the Knickerbocker disaster. The origin of the fire is thought to have been in the Federal Bakery, which is next door, though the damage to the bakery was comparatively slight. This marks the second time within a few months that the Ideal Lunch has been damaged by fire. It is believed by many to have been of incendiaries for it was generally known that this establishment in that section for colored patronage, was not desired. Mr. W. B. Wade, manager, stated that the loss was fully covered by insurance. B. & O. FREIGHT SHED CAVES IN The shed of the out going freight depot of the B. & O. Railroad on Florida Avenue, N. E., collapsed last Tuesday evening. There are a large number of Colored men working at this depot but on Tuesday evening every man happened to be out. Just ten minutes before the walls collapsed a group of 9 men were working under the shed. After completing their work in the out going depot, they went over to the incoming depot to work until quitting time. No lives were lost nor no one hurt, as the whole structure was deserted. It was almost a miracle that no one was in the building. The shed was 300 feet long and about 18 feet wide. WHITE GROCERYMAN INSULTS WOMAN P. Gaist, white, conducts a small grocery and meat market at the corner of E Street at 20th. Fully-ninety per cent of his trade is from the Colored people living in that immediate vicinity. Across the street from Gaist is a drug store which is conducted by a Colored man, while on the other corner is another grocery and meat market conducted by a lady who is a Jew. Gaist, who will be the villian in this sketch, began to notice that a large number of people would come to his store with packages purchased at one of the other stores. So in order to boost his business, Gaist began to knock the other two places and especially the drug store which is run by a Colored man. However, the pleas of Gaist did not fall upon such fertile ground, because most of the people of this section have been educated to the idea of trading with the Colored merchant first. So Gaist became angry and recently when a Mrs. Washington went into his store to purchase some things, he insulted her and cursed her out. Later a man by the name of Anthony was accosted by Gaist and it is alleged that Gaist said "Negroes did not have sense enough to run a business place like white people." Mr. Anthony took offense at this statement. The whole neighborhood has been aroused by the action of Gaist and are determined to make him pay for his insults to the race. John C. Dancy and President Taft named Henry L. Johnson. John F. Costello has served since Mr. Johnson's retirement in 1913. Mr. Freo is the eighth colored man to be appointed to this position. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 HOUSES FALL IN UNDER WEIGHT OF SNOW Last Sunday morning just about the time the Knickerbocker theater disaster news had spread throughout the city, the roofs on a row of dwellings on T Street, Northwest, collapsed. No lives were lost in the collapse. The houses are located between 17th and 18th Street, Northwest, and were occupied entirely by Colored people. The houses were frame and had been built for some time. The property is said to have been condemned by the District authorities, but the owners had been permitted to continue to rent them. The excessive weight of the snow on the already weak and alleged condemned roofs caused the collapse. The furniture of many of the occupants was damaged. The houses were two stories high and there were nine in the row. HON. MARCUS GARVEY TO SPEAK HERE Is Provisional President of Africa and Head of the U. N. I. A. IS VERY WIDELY KNOWN Will Speak Twice at O St. Armory and Once in Southwest The Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa, will come to Washington for three days next week. While here, Mr. Garvey will be the principal speaker in three meetings; the first at the O Street Armory, February 6th, the second at Zion Wesley A. M. E. Church February 7th, and the third at the O Street Armory, February 8th. Accompanying Mr. Garvey is Lady Henrietta Davis and others prominent in the U. N. I. A. circles. The local branch of the U. N. I. A. will have charge of the meetings and local talent will furnish the music. Admission to all the meetings will be free and the public is invited to attend. Hon. Marcus Garvey is today one of the most widely known men in the race. His many activities, including the Black Star Steamship Co., has gained him much publicity in both the white press and magazines. He is rated as a forceful speaker and his appearance is in the interest of his local organization. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR COL. YOUNG TO BE HELD The Omega Psi Phi fraternity having chapters at many of the leading institutions in the country, will on February 12th, hold a national memorial service for Col. Chas. M. Young. Every chapter in the fraternity will hold these services at the same hour. Col. Chas. M. Young died recently in Liberia, where he had spent many years of his life. There are many reports that his remains will be brought back to this country and buried at Wilberforce, Ohio, his home, but whether this is true or not, it could not be learned. Many prominent men are to take part in these services, and a program befitting the occasion will be rendered. The services here will be held on the Howard University Campus; the hour and speakers are to be announced later. "WILL NOT LEAVE EXCEPT ORDERED BY GOD OR COURT" Declares Rev. W.A. Taylor of Florida Avenue Church In Sermon DENIES ALL CHARGES Says He Left Peaceful Flock To Accept Charge in Washington Rev. W. A. Taylor pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, voiced his views to his congregation last Sunday morning in a specially prepared sermon. He selected Sunday as the day on which to try to answer some of the charges filed against him in court. The turbulent conditions now existing in his church having become so great that it was necessary to go into court to try to adjust the church's affairs. Rev. Taylor selected for his text, "Elijah at the brook," taken from first Kings. During the course of his sermon he is alleged to have declared the charges filed against him were inspired by a small group of agitators his congregation. It is alleged that he further stated that he had a fine church in Newport News and a peaceful congregation before he came here and that if he had known he was coming to a bunch of fighters here, he never would have given up his charge. During the course of his remarks, Rev. Taylor unknowingly proved that one of the accusations filed against him was at least partially true when it alleged he said: "I will stay in my pulpit until moved by God or the court." One of the members when talking to a Tribune reporter pointed out that this alleged statement proved one of the main accusations against him (Rev. Tylor) which is "that he is dictatorial in his policy and power." Therefore, he pointed out, it matters not if the church votes him (Rev. Taylor) out, he will not go unless ordered by God or the court. The forces of both sides of the church are lining up for the big court battle which is scheduled to start on Thursday, February 16th in Justice Bailey's court. Atty. Thos. L. Jones, Doyal Hughes and Geo. Hayes are now busy preparing their case. Atty. Armond Scott represents Rev. Taylor. ALEXANDRIA MAN ASSAULTED HERE Moses Smith, who lives at 606 S. Washington St., while on night duty at work at the Washington Garage, 12th Street near E Street, was assaulted last Saturday morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, by several white men. Smith was at work when his assaultants came into the garage throwing snowballs at each other. They attacked Smith, dealing him a severe blow on the head which left him unconscious. He was rushed to the Emergency Hospital where he was treated. He was brouhgt home Tuesday. and is confined to his bed as his condition is yet uncertain. The men who assaulted him were caught and are being held in custody awaiting the outcome of their victims injuries. Smith was formerly a resident of Fredericksburg, Va., but has been a resident here since his marriage to Miss Hester Carter several years ago. He is the father of two children yet in their infanthood. The assault was unwarranted and the cause of it has not been developed to date. Smith also received bruises on his back and hips. DER OF KIDS GOT REAL JOY OUT OF SNOW The big snowstorm which visited Washington last Friday and Saturday caused much damage to property throughout the city. Many faulty roofs began to leak and in various sections of the city fell in. The storm however, was not without fun. It proved a great treat for the kids, who played in the snow as if it was sand. Snowballing was a feature and many thrilling battles were fought. The kids had a full day Monday to enjoy themselves as the snow made it impossible for school. The snowfall set a record for the District. The absence of cold weather after the fall of snow, prevented much suffering among the people as it was impossible to get food or coal delivered. APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS GREATLY CUT Items Carrying Much Needed Improvements Cut Out By Committee GITIZENS PLAN TO ACT Playground for Dunbar High Among Many Items Not Approved The action of the Senate Appropriations Committee in cutting out many items of the school part of the District Appropriation bill has aroused the feeling of many local citizens. The bill as it was sent to the committee included items for needed school improvements. Relief in this direction having long been sought by various organizations here. This year the District Commissioners included some of the improvements and expansions sought in the District bill. However, the Appropriations Committee of the House has cut out many of the very essential items. Mr. Neval H. Thomas, chairman of the school committee of the N. A. A. C. P. took up the matter in detail in a recent letter to Hon. Charles W. Davis of the House's Appropriation Committee. His letter in part follows: Hon. Charles W. Davis, Appropriations Committee, House of Representatives, My dear Mr. Davis. As chairman of the school committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, I have the honor to call your attention to some of the inequities in the District Appropriation bill which your honorable committee has just reported to the House. The budget gave the colored people $451,000, out of a total of $2,156,00, or about 20 per cent for buildings enrollment. The bill as reported to the House further reduces our proportion to 10 per cent, giving us but $171,000, out of a total of $1,711,000. It eliminated from the budget such indispensable items as $140,000 for an eight-room addition to Lovejoy school, for which a site has already been purchased, and $140,000 for an eight-room addition to Phillips school. The board of education realizes the imperative need of all of these items, along with many others which the budget eliminated. The most outstanding need which the budget eliminated is the item for $100,000 for ground for the Dunbar High School. A slum and a noisy stoneyard are within fifty feet of the building, and our 1,540 children are forced to pla in the street. --- Circulation Books Open To All DEEDS NO COLORED KILLED WHEN ROOF FALLS Many Causes for Disaster Advanced by Citizens and Engineers COLOR DISCRIMINATION E. Hutchins and Joe Sims Worked for Hours Helping To Rescue Whites Poor engineering, cheap and faulty material, and an extra weight attached to the roof of Crandall's Knickerbocker Theatre, are among the many causes suggested as being responsible for the catastrophe when the roof fell in on about three hundred white persons last Saturday night, when ninety-six people were killed and a hundred and thirty-three were injured. Inspection of the walls of the Knickerbocker shows that the roof was simply sitting on them without a single tie anywhere. The wall separating the lobby from the main auditorium of the theatre, on the 18th Street side, was built of hollow tile and the iron beams supporting the roof rested on this wall, without supporting pillars. One factor that has been seemingly overlooked by the daily press, was the cooling system, consisting of a number of big fans and a big electric motor, all of which were said to be attached to the beams supporting the roof, the great weight of which equipment was possibly not figured on by the inspectors. The manner in which these big fans and motor were fastened to the beams supporting the roof may reveal the real cause of the roof's collapse. The Knickerbocker theatre was the "sik stocking" theatre of Washington and no colored people so far as can be learned worked there. It has been stated that a colored nurse applied for admission on the night of the disaster with the child she was looking after, but was refused admission. The Knickerbocker theatre was largely owned by the same Harry Crandall who is responsible for the construction of the Lincoln theatre on U Street, between 12th and 13th. While colored people were not allowed to attend this theatre, yet when the crash came and the call for help went out, a colored man, Mr. Julian Evans, who conducts a barber shop near the corner of 18th Street and Columbia Road, was among the first to reach the unfortunate peole, penned like rats in a trap. Two other young colored men who worked with the rescue party from ten o'clock Saturday night until eight o'clock Sunday morning, rendering valiant service, were Emory H. Hutchins and William Joseph Simms, Jr., both auto mechanics. They worked at every possible task to help bring relief, but claim that they were not served a single sandwich or any stimulant, although all the whites although all the whites who were engaged in the rescue work, were served. These young men were probably the two colored "heroes" to which the Washington Herald referred as "unknown," and perhaps "to remain forever unknown," who, the article stated, I trust that you will see your way clear to restore these items to the bill It is expected that action will be taken by other organizations in the District in an effort to have some of the items, if not all, restore to the bill. The bill is now up on the floor of the House for Debate. Couey. GITTELMAN Comiderton , | | | 1328 7th Street, N. W.

[ 2 2 We | Kindling Ashes i ~ (A Short Story) By Lewis Hillman Author of “Tragic Bliss” “Audible Silence” and others. Fountain hues of red gold fuzed a- mong the clouds, spires and housetops of the city’s sunset; but it was lost to the orange-tan girl who boarded a street car headed for the Union De- pot. For she stared vacantly into space as she took a seat and leaned against the window. Her small mouth puckered just a little blue. Mentally she asked herself: “What is confidence?” A lump rose in her throat and her limpid brown eyes grew moist with yearning for a home—like mother’s. Would rem- nants of love and confidence—con- sumed to ashen dust—ever sparkle and glow anew? Still, she was going to meet a train and Joe Beasley. He had wired he would be in the city on the evening train from New York. Yes, her innate purpose was based on confidence, At the station she entered the huge concourse before the thirty-two iron gates and watched trains pull in and disgorge their human freight. Slide doors of steel shunted open and re- bounded with clanging noise, while bustling crowds poured in and out. Cleo Moon’s tall portly figure paraded the chilly concourse with searching expectant eyes—waiting. He must come, she told herself, her shifty gaze roaming over a sea of bobbing heads and faces. Why didn't Joe specify which train would bring him? He was stupid. She detested waiting indeterminately, no matter what the cause. Now, why had she decided to meet him? Well, three months of arduous oecupation— enforced by measured hours—does make one feel they're missing much of the color and high-lights of needed reereation.. She would treat herself to the joys of rippling abandon this evening—enjoy life thro’ everyone of the five senses. Tonight would be her night. Cleo experienced a feeling of reck- less freedom from long continued toil. She had been good and patient; didn’t look at another man, and cor- responded with Joe Beasley a whole THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 year. That long distance affair would cease after tonight. Months af pent- up love would soon have full sway to blossom into happy scintillating dreams. Such dreams—only the bliss of chanting mellow chimes, chimes of golden leafy hours, the hour of melt- ing kiss in giddy weakness of rosy bloom, only the blooming into ripe red vitality of luxuriant youth could give ‘her supine moments of wild luscious fragrance. Evening shades gathered densely in the gloaming. Numerous lights flashed ‘on and softened the inky blackness of the night. Restive Cleo glanced at the train bulletin, Two New York trains were due to arrive before ten o'elock—the 9:05 and the 9:55. While ‘busy thus, she heard a cheery voiee ‘nearby. | “Cleo! Isn't this Cleo Moon?” The ‘individual dropped a traveling bag ‘and kissed her soundly. | “Hello!” returned Cleo in evident surprise, yet pleased withal. “If it ‘isn’t Shirley Bayliss! Now give an “aceount of yourself. I’m expecting Joe Beasley. Shirley of old; but you “are only twenty-two, like myself.” “Back again!” laughed the other, ‘who was a shade lighter than Cleo ‘and just as smartly dressed. “I’ve [been working in a little country town set off from the world. I’m so lone- some I don't know how to act in the presence of human beings. I just had |t0 leave that dead place.” | “You're looking better than ever, Shirley. You're beginning to mature.” “Wait a minute till I check my bag,” came from the otlier, “then we'll frolic around the town.” In short quick steps she tripped off and returned. “Lye planned a good time for my. ‘self tonight,” Cleo told her friend. |“We'll take in the Dreamland, if we're ‘too late for the show. Our —” | Hearing shouts outside the gates ‘both girls strained forward to see the cause for commotion. Panic-stricken -switchmen and yardmen made a wild rush down the tracks. “What's the matter 2” simultaneous- ly breathed the two girls, speaking to one of the trainmen. “An incoming train disrailed over a locked switch and three coaches ‘turned turtle,” answered the man in blue who frowned grimly. Cleo’s heart almost balked. Appre- hensively she looked at the big clock. Nine o'clock! Joe Beasley surely would arrive no later than nine! A gruesome situation forced itself upon her, while she momentarily closed her eyes then gave voice to her convictions. “Let me thro’ the gates, please?” she begged concernedly. Pushing and elbowing her way thro’ the crowd of onlookers within the enclosure, she stood close to the iron paling and again cried out: “Let me thro’ this gate! I must go! ‘Joe Beasley is out there in the wreck! I must see; must know!” ‘The man before her slowly shook his head to a painful duty. “No peo- ple are permitted to pass thro’ the gates without tickets for outgoing trains. I’m very sorry.” With hands tigthly gripping the steel uprights she vainly tried to open the gate, while pleading in a low voice of anguish: “Why do you keep me from him this way? He was due to arrive on the 9:05 from New York. Oh! I just —” “That's the Pittsburg train,” truth- fully stated the man, “The New York train is out in the yards behind her.’ ‘The reaction made Cleo shiver; she clutched Shirley’s arm for support ‘The two tried to laugh away thei fears—which was a sickly, attempt— then consigned themselves to sit ir the waiting-room till ten. “I won't have my evening spoiled, no matter what happens,” asserted Cleo. “We're going to the Dreamland wherel really intend to flirt for once You don’t know the solitude of a trained nurse, as I do.” “[ guess not,” tactfully replied Shir- ley, though secretly she thought her small town stay was infinitely worse Cleo was such a dear girl. Who would put a straw in her path to mar the evening? Two New York trains came and went, without a sign of Mr. Beasley. | “His other girl might have kept him in New York,” was Cleo's light sur- mise, in an evident effort to keep pleasant thoughts uppermost. The two hailed a taxi and spoke little till they arrived at the Dream- land Cabaret. Though the subjects ‘for all eyes, they felt that ecstasy ‘pervaded the air when they entered. ‘Splendid decorations of the place were toned by the brilliance of soft-colored lights. Browns and teasing browns chattered over tinkling glasses of weak ‘beverage. Ably assisted by the or- [chestra, four girl entertainers were singing the latest “Tucky Home” while nimbly threading their way a- ‘mong the tables of gay laughing ‘people. Good-humor was at its height. | Cleo and Shirley selected a corner ‘table, removed their fur-trimmed coats ee Cleo who languidly occu- pied her seat, crossed her saucy knees where gorgeous cream-brown hose made prominently tapered curves a- bove small ankles. “A very nice place,” she smiled, tossing her head with a naive caprice and giving a hundred patrons “the once over.” “I’ve never been in here before.” For a moment she regarded the heavy electric light shades fused with white, pink and orange. The | whole setting blended well with her buoyant mood. “It’s a dream,” further commented Shirley. “I'm absorbing the atmos- phere of gay relaxation, already. The | orchestra is cutting up in great style.” | “I'd like to meet that gentleman at the far table,” mused Cleo, after the ginger-ale had been set before them | and paid for. “I almost wish there was | some way.” | “Which one?” inquired Shirley in jan undertone, endeavoring to follow | the gaze of the other. “The man with | the red-brown suit and heavy voice?” | “Not that man! He’s too common- place and coarse. The olive colored gentleman in jet black clothes; has smooth clean-shaven features and coal black hair, His deferential smile is ‘the only outward expression of merri- ment; yet, I know he’s happy by his | bright sparkling eyes.” Cleo’s eyes | danced merrily. She could almost wink |at him, | “He has the dignity and bearing of the most desirable company,” agreed Shirley. “But what do you think of the fellow in the gray check who: is |talking to him? He's my choice.” | Cleo merely cast her attention to- |ward the man with the pearly teeth |and rich wavy hain, ‘Then that straight-shouldered young man turned | ne? way an instant, his admiring eyes |brushing hers. Nonplussed as to how |to make the most of that fleeting sec- |ond, she found herself studying the | reserved youth in the distance; his in- | tellectual debonair. If she only knew |someone, here who knew him, she might manage to at least spend part of the evening chatting with him. | Heedless of good songs and music, she ‘tried to locate a familiar face; but [was disappointed | “Do you know anybody here, Shir- ley?” she wanted to know, evincing _a strong desire to have her whims ap- peased. | “No, Why?” “Don’t be stupid, Shirley. You'd jlike an introduction to the man in |gray. Why shouldn’t I feel the same. But I wouldn’t dare to flirb with any- jone! What are we to do? It's now eleven o'clock!” | “Go over and tell him I want to | speak to him,” suggested Shirley with | mock seriousness. “I'm unable to give you any help; but something may oc- ‘cur to me presently.” Once more Cleo’s eyes were drawn involuntarily to the young man whose face she would never forget. Was it love at first sight? She imagined her eyes were soft, wistful and hungry. Directly the music changed to channels of contentment; then she rested her eyes on the tinted beauty of the din- ing-room; vivid paintings on the wall gave a note of glowing color. “A waitress might help out,” put forth Shirley with a wan smile. “I could’nt do it, Shirley,” declared the other. “We're having worlds of fun just the same. Isn’t it wender- ful how we are having a lark of a time with music, laughter and ginger- ale, while some people must have orgyistie affairs of expensive investi- ture to enjoy themselves? Our pro- gram is full, except knowing the gen- tlemen we would like to know.” Then the ginger-ale disappeared. With pulsing hope they walked out gaily— a strong hope to see again the young men they had mentally chosen, ‘The happy girls slept at a fash- ionable hotel and awoke the next day with firm convictions that clean- minded unchaperoned youth is never as bad as often depicted. After finding themselves a boarding-place they were treated to the unusual sur- prise. Stepping from the entrance for a downtown stroll in the sunshine, they stopped with gasps of silent ecstasy. ‘The two men they wanted so much to know, emerged from the house next door. “It’s pleasingly odd,” whispered Cleo, “how Fate moves little things to jan sheantames * .

One of the first ‘motions to be adopted was the abo- lition of rank, thereby eliminating all of the friction that might come of petty jealousy resulting from past military distinction. “The Negro American Veterans of the World War, is the inevitable out- growth of, the discrimination, that has been practised everywhere against the Negro veterans,” said Dr. T. E. Jones, former captain in the Medical Corps and wearer of the Distinguished Service Cross, “especially has this dis- crimination been most rampant in re- gard to the treatment of disabled men ‘in the South.” __ This organization means to root out these cases, and stir up the country to the suffering and dire need of these men. Denied admission to hospitals in the South, thousands of these vet- evans, suffering from gas poisoning and mental diseases are languishing away in unsanitary jails and dilapida- ted almshouses, to which they are be- ing sent for medical treatment, be- ‘cause the hospitals will not take Ne- -Broes. Hundreds of men with active tu- bereulosis are being inadequately eared for in their homes, taking chances with the lives of their own people, rather than be sent into the miserable holes that are open to them. Even worse than this is the condition of still other thousands of veterans who are in need, and who are entitled to compensation but who are intimida- ted from making a claim for govern- ment relief. Dr. T. E. Jones was elected as the National Chairman, C. Campbell sannsn, chairman of the Washing- ton District, Louis R, Mehlinger, sec- retary; Victory R. Daly, national or- ganizer; Elijah Reynolds, treasurer, and William A. Ryles, director of pub- lieity.

Babson, president of the Babson’s Statistical Organization, Wellesley Hills, Mass., with branch offices in London and several American cities, Thursday, January 26, at the noon exercises held in the University Chapel. Among the interesting things which Mr. Babson called to the atten- tion of the students in the course of his address was his explanation of what he called the “Six I’s of Success,” —AIndustry; Integrity; Initiative; In- telligence; Intensity; and Interest. Howard Alumni Orga- nizes in Baltimore Baltimore, Md.—One of the new movements about to be launched throughout the country in the inter- est of a stronger Howard Alumni As- sociation had its beginning among a group of enthusiastic and loyal How- ard University Alumni who met at the Druid Hill Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., Baltimore, Maryland, Monday evening, January 23, 1922, for the pur- pose of discussing the “New Howard” and to consider ways and means of co-operating in the effort to promote the progress of their Alma Mater. The University administration was repre- sented at the meeting by the Secre- tary-Treasurer, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who was accompanied to Baltimore by Prof. D. 0. W. Holmes, Dean of the School of Education of the University. Large Number of Rosenwald Schools in the South Hampton Va. Jan. 20—The construe- tion statistics of the Rosewald Rural Schools through December 31, 1921, are available and may be summarized as follows: 1126 school buildings, util- izing the services of 2578 teachers, have been built at a cost of $3,653,905. Of this amount Negroes contributed $1,024,537; whites, $260,702; public funds, $1,700,688; and Julius Rosewald of Chicago, $667,980. Classified by types, the buildings include 338 one-teacher schools; 429 two-teacher schools; 170 three-teacher schools; 101 four-teacher schools; 35 five-teacher schools; 41 six-teacher schools; and 11 teachers homes. By States the number of Rosewald Rural Schools follows: Alabama, 233; Arkansas, 48; Georgia, 50; Kentucky, 52; Louisiana, 124; Maryland, 14; Mississippi, 119; North Carolina, 157; Oklahoma, 12; South Carolina, 70; ‘Tennessee, 108; Texas, 42; and Vir- ginia, 97. In 1912, on his fiftieth birthday, Julius Rosewald contributed $25,000 to Tuskegee Institute, to be distributed among such off-shoots of Tuskegee as Booker T. Washington should desig- nate. Of this amount Doctor Wash- ington! asked permission to use $2100 for an experiment in building in Ala- bama- six rural schools for Negroes who had to raise in each community an amount equal to or larger than the $300 assigned as Rosenwald aid. The campaigns for constructing these rural Negro schools have developed widespread co-operation _ between white and colored citizens in thirteen Southern States. Hunting A Job For Your Dollars “Men are seldom, if ever, more in- nocently employed than when they are honestly making money,” says John- eons 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. Un- til one has removed his financial shackles and has a little money to the good, he can not rise to the full ad- vantage of a citizen. He lacks con- fidence to accept responsibility. He face courage to plan for the future. He lacks means to take advantage of opportunity. A little money saved from honest work and invested suc- cessfully is one of the essentials of complete citizenship.” The first step toward financial suc- cess 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. Qur company is now engaged in selecting the very best jobs for your dollars. Write, or call for full facts and learn just where and how to double your dollars over and over again. STANDARD INVESTMENT CO., 1912, 14th Street, Washington, D. C.

EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY, Atlanta, Georgia ‘Wemake fs ngage y Meme hiding pe mero sallow skins, Plain Talks On Money Column of Finance for Everybods edited by EUGENE L. C. DAVIDSON When tests similar to those men- tioned in last week’s article have been made and the corporation comes through unscathed, then a certain pro- portion of the Negro’s money should certainly go into the enterprise. As to the proportion, the best rule to follow is this: In the first place the money which is to work should be clearly a surplus—the amount that can be safely spared above current expenses. On dividing this amount into two equal parts, the first part, Investment Fund, should be used for the purchase of high grade Bonds and Preferred Stocks. In the use of this fund, safety of principal and a steady income are to be looked for. The sec- ond half of the surplus should be the Speculation Fund. This in turn should be divided into two parts. The first part should be used to purchase bar- gains on the Stock Exchange and the second part should be used to pur- chase worthy and well analyzed Negro Securities. So that the proportion of the surplus to be used in this way will be about one quarter of the total. This quarter of the total is surely not excessive for the risk which is taken in speculating in Negro Securi- ties. It is true that sentiment has but little place in business and yet returns from expenditures may be val- uable even though not material. The progress of the race is undoubtedly retarded so long as we must depend on white interests to control and ope- rate, employ and discharge. Our THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 economic growth which is a most im- portant factor in racial advancement ig dependent upon the support of ‘worthy Negro corporations and busi- ‘esses. Without such support they die and along with them the hope of ‘future years and greater freedom and justice for our posterity. ‘The intelli- ‘gent Negro of today too little realizes these facts and in his unemotional wis- dom slows up the onward march of a race destined to overcome obstacles. ‘The burden of loss, which is bound to come to some in the game of specula- tion, should not rest entirely upon the ignorant but race-loving Negro who wants to see his people prosper- These “pulls” of the race, emotional as they may be, unversed in the science of investing as they must be, are the backbone of our greatness and their losses, when they occur, should shame the intelligent and more prosperous Negro, who in his wisdom deprecates the efforts of worthy colored corpo- rations. All should help in this growth of Negro corporations, provided they are looked upon as speculations and not as investments, and are analyzed well before material wid is lent and are ‘supported only to the extent outlined. Only in this course lies the future of the Negro as a power in the eco- nomie world.

Both the matinee and evening performances are being well attended. Gus Simmons and his boys open the bill. The boys are as clever as ever. They were forced to acknowledge a number of encores. Under the tutilage of their father, thees boys provide an excellent evenings entertainment. Alfred Drew, a slack wire artist and juggler, in the middle spot, amused immensely with a number of difficult feats. Drew is one of the cleverest artists on the circuit. Mack and Mack, a clean, classy act closes the bill. Their line of patter was very clever stuff and went over nicely. Both sing well.

Johnson and Kitchen, a singing, dancing and talking act, are featuring a pleasing novelty specialty, which is billed, "Darktown Dancing School." It is a very clever number and this pair put it over with a bang. They close with a clog dance. Reynolds and Jones, a team that is well known here, presented one of their new acts and they were well received. Jones is an exceptionally good character man. His Jewish impersonation was especially good. His parody "Second-hand Mose" brought him many hands. Miss Reynolds, a charming soubrette, sings "Nobody's Baby," in fine style. They close with a snappy line of Yiddish nonsense. Houze and Houze, a neat appearing black-face singing and dancing act, are featuring Eddie Green's "The World's All Wrong." Mr. Houze's interpretation of Chris Smith's latest hit, "You're Talking to the Wrong Man" was pleasingly done. They —WITH— PEP! PUNCH!

The personell of the outfit: Arthur Sheafe, cornet; Miss Charlesetta McFadden, piano; "Stringbean," drums. They have some band. Mr. Morris Bowie, formerly house manager of the Mid-City, has been succeeded by "Happy" Dounevour. Mr. Bowie is now advertising director of the Dudley houses. The Special picture matinees at the Mid-City are proving quite a success. Mr. Dudley's hand picked jazz band is in attendance daily. The interior decoration of the Dunbar Theater has been completed. The color scheme displays the wonderful taste of Mr. John H. Murray, the well-known interior decorator. He is now preparing to decorate the interior of the Murray Casino. According to the plans that have been accepted, the Casino will be the most beautifully appointed dancing palace South of New York City. The Howard Theater orchestra is again fast gaining public favor. Mr. William Beasley, the well known local sensational artist, is one of its newest acquisitions. Mr Sherman H. Dudley, who has been confined to his home on account of illness is much improved. PELL MELL Perhaps for the first time in the history of Musical Comedy, a production has been compiled with so many novelties and sensations that it is a mighty hard task to stipulate which particular feature is the most spectacular on the bill. The Pell Mell Company, which is due at the Howard Theatre one week commencing with the usual Sunday performance embodies all that is attractive from out of the ordinary, frivolous, fascinating standpoint. The body of the entertainment is a two act musical show entitled, "Here and There." It is not over burdened with plot, in fact it is a many jointed affair that is just full to the overflow with fun and frolic, popular songs, ensembles and poses by as pretty a bunch of young chorus girls as ever used powder and puff. Billy Kelly and Chas. Country take good care of the comedy and of the entertainmentmrt. They are aided and abetted in their business by Billy Pittge, Chick Giffen, Lew Howard, and Jimmy Kellner, while the principal female roles are essayed by Mildrel Franklyn, Mabel White, Lucia Arnold and Pauline Graw, all of whom are talented to a marked degree in the why and whereofore of the theatrical world. Supper Shows Jack Holt will be featured three Sports of all Sorts (Wilberforce Boy and Girls Win) By Tommy Wright Last Monday night the Wilberforce Varsity and the Young Ladies' Basketball teams continued their winning streaks by tumbling the Alpha Omega Club and the Y. W. C. A. Teams of Dayton, Ohio, by the scores of 24 to 21 and 19 to 6, in the most interesting and closely contended games seen on the "Force" court this season. The Alpha Omega Club of Dayton, composed of former High School and College stars, presented a fast, well balanced team that made every minute of the game "red hot." With less than two minutes to play the Dayton boys were in the lead 21 to 20, when Fisher, lazily tossed the ball in the basket from beyond the center of the floor. It was a spectacular shot and brought the crowd to its feet in thunderous applause. Just to add further mirth to the scene, "Count" Hull tallied another as the Timer's whistle blew for the curtain. Clark starred for the visitors with ten points. Wilberforce (24) Alpha Omega (21) Hull .....R.F. .....Sloan Fisher .....L.F. .....Clark Hudson .....C. .....Sheppard Magee .....R.G. .....Morton Banks .....L.G. .....Thompson Field Goals—Hull (4), Fisher (4), Hudson (1), Banks (1), Clark (5), Morton (2), Sheppard (1), Fouls, Hull 4 out of 6. Thompson 5 out of 8. Referee Mr. Hughes. Timekeeper Mr. Atwaters. The Girls' Game Chagrined at the thought of the lacing administered their "brothers" by the Varsity, the Dayton lassies romped out on the floor determined to get revenge, but the Wilberforce girls had decided to make victory a "Family affair," and the start of the game set a heart-breaking pace that proved too much for the Dayton Belles. Both teams were visibly nervous at times, and the humorous incidents that characterise the game as played by the days starting Sunday in "The Call Of The North." It is a tremendous picture of the Canadian Northwest, filled with rapid-fire action, dramatic suspense, thrilling situations and superb heart appeal. "THE SHIEK" is repeated by request beginning with a special matinee at one o'clock Wednesday. Showing three days. Supper shows begin at 6 o'clock. On Friday and Saturday, Thomas Meighan is featured in "CAPPY RICKS." It is a tale of the sea and the world of ships. A man who could face a storm, a fight or a glorious love—and see it through. All hands on deck for a picture freighted with thrills and happiness and skids along in a gale of joy. ONE DAY LAST WEEK By Jay Bee Stopped at the Dudley Mid-City Theatre. Saw a rollicking good show and for the first time, heard "Unk" Dud's hand-picked jazz band. It's a hound. Slipped up-stairs into the booking offices of the first colored booking agency in the world. Had a short chat with the theatrical wizard and Miss "Des" Barnett the highest salaried colored woman in this city. "Unk" Dud pulling on an El Verso, appeared somewhat haggard from overwork. Continuing my journey northward on Seventh Street, I reached Fred Pelham's place where he is doing a rushing business recharging batteries and other things electrical. Dr. O. F. N. Madden, chiropractor is displaying an attractive sign outside his place. So I went up and had a little chat with the doc. He said that he has been quite busy and the waiting room was well filled with patients waiting for treatment. Departed. Stopped in the Trio Beauty Parlor, just across the street, where I found everyone busy but Mrs. Chism, of Carmi, Ill., mother of Flora, Bernice and Pauline. Heard a good story. Under protests, I promised to publish same, which I did. It was getting on to 6:30. Large crowds were rushing toward the Howard Theatre. I, too, joined the gang headed "Homeward." As usual, there was that Supper-Show mob. A. J. and "Vince," all smiles, were having a little conference. A bitter jazz contest was on between the Snowden-Diamond jazz pirates and Doc Perry's musical thugs. It's quite a feature nowadays. Gave Vince a receipt and departed. "Mother O' Mine" sure was some picture, I thought, as I watched. There was a phalanx of picture-thirsty patrons standing in a line extending from the intersection of Florida Ave., and T Streets to the entrance of the Dunbar. Found the lobby jammed to the gills, but every one seemed light-hearted and determined to stick it out. It was well worth it too. fair ones, were always in evidence.

BIG BASKET BALL GAME NEXT FRIDAY The Carlisle "Big 5" and the Holy Name Guild will battle for highest basket ball honors at Murray Casino next Friday night. These two teams have been going a fast clip this year and both are anxious to annex the championship of the District. The Holy Name Guild five recently defeated Armstrong, who had defeated the local Y. M. C. A. As the Y defeated Wilberforce Univ. and Wilberforce later defeated Hampton and Hampton in turn defeated Carlisle. the relative strength of the two teams can be judged. Holy Name Guild has one of the greatest centers in this section and if the team gives him any kind of support, the Guild boys will more than likely come out of the fray on top. The Carlisle have not been seen to any good advantage this season as they have not played many games, but those who know Mr. Conway, know that his team will be in fine trim for the battle. More than a good game is expected, a hard fought game is really in store for the lovers of the game here. A good crowd is expected to attend as both teams have individual large followings and both sides are desiring of having their share of followers.

SPECIAL PROGRAM—GOOD MUSIC ADMISSION cic igs cise vans>shos0%- 22-0007) FREE LOCAL NEWS Recent events of the various Public Dance Halls of the city, have at least served one good purpose, i. e. that of organizing the various Dance and Amusement Promoters of the city into a gigantic association for the betterment and uplift of amusements in all of its allied branches. This organization is known as the Washington Amusement Promoters Association, Inc. whose sole purpose it is to give unstinted application and devotion to the principles of social courtesy—standardized dancing and the general elevation of amusements. ‘The members of this association are young men, who are responsible for the majority of the many novel and interesting social functions given in this city. They feel that in-as-much as dancing and amusements, is as much a business as any other legiti- mate enterprise, the public at large who support this form of amusement should be given the best at all times. Once a person creates disorder of any character, the entire membership of this association will see that said in- dividual who commits the offense will in the future be energetically barred from ALL DANCES through the city. Clubs belonging to this association shall be known by the Emblem of the Association which shall be conspicu- ously displayed on the advertisement of each and every club. The emblem shall also adorn the walls wherever their dances are promoted. By this emblem the public shall know that the Associated Dances shall all have a uniform time to open and a uni- form price, as far as possible, and such changes of Policy as will meet public favor. Mail Early Campaign Postmaster Chance of the city post office has addressed a letter to all of the school children of the city, thank- ing them for the assistance they ren- dered in helping to give many of the clerks of the Washintgon post office their first Christmas holiday. In.ad- dition to thanking them for this, he asks them to cooperate in the cam- paign, now on in the city, to “mail early” every day, so that the night rush will be distributed, as it shoul be, over more of the daylight hours. Miss C. E. Martin, assistant diree- tor in penmanship, for the District schools has been a factor in the mail early campaign. Legibly addressed mail will help wonderfully in the mail early campaign and Miss Martin is making a specilty of having the child- rem write a plain legible hand. New Club Organized Here A few days ago a few young men of the city gathered in Murray Casino on U Street, N. W., for the purpose of organizing a young mens social club. Dr. Geo. M.

It-is hoped soon to have a home of its own. Its purpose is for the betterment of Georgetown and vi- cinity and it never overlooks a chance to better conditions in évery way. ‘Too much praise cannot be given its president, Geo. T. Beason, who is ever alive to any and all occasions, and who is foremost in the things where the RACE can be benefited or con- ditions can be improved, he is given able support by all with whom he comes in contact. The Association meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Phillips School, and a visit to a meeting of this wide awake asosciation will convince all that the association is a live wire.

Additional Theatre Music Forum Director Columbia Conservatory of Music THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 HARRY CAREY, STAR OF “THE FOX” TOO HUMAN TO PUT * ON AIRS Once Fished for a Living in Long Is- land Sound Much is written about the elaborate homes and luxurious automobiles of certain film favorites, but it is seldom that a moving picture star takes such honest pleasure in remembering his or her humble beginning as Harry Carey, star of “The Fox,” the Universal Jew- el production which comes to the Dun- bar Theatre next Wednesday and ‘Thursday. f Carey, who was raised on City Is- land, now a part of New York City, tells the following story of an amus- ing incident which befell him in the early days of the screen industry. A pretty girl and a handsome young fellow in riding clothes minced their way down to the water’s edge on Chimney Sweep Island between Pel- ham Bay and Long Island Sound and caught sight of a boat bouncing on the waters of the bay, “Hey, you with the boat,” shouted the man, “row us to City Island and T'll give you $2.” “Flop in,” grinned the man on the oars, “two dollars is two dollars and its probably more than I could make in the same time peddling lobsters at the hotel.” ‘The man helped the girl into the boat and the frail craft shot out into the water toward City Island, pro- pelled by a pair of muscular, sun- bronzed arms. The man with the girl took a good look at the oarsman and said: “Say .. . Yl tell you how you can ‘make more money than pulling this ‘boat around the bay. Go to the Bio- DEATH IN THE WAKE OF MUSIC The Knickerbocker disaster _pre- sumably occupies public thought at this writing more than any other top- ic. Appalling in its magnitude, tragic in its consequences, and astounding in its swiftness though it was, comes one little ray of glimmering light that just before the curtain of Death and destruction came crashing downward with all its accompanying scene of horror, MUSIC, seemingly more en- traneing than ever, was being played by that ill-fated orchestra, finding echo in the hearts beautiful, as it was, its sweet strains ‘finding echo in the hearts of that doomed audience ‘twas but the Song of Death, the mellow harmonies of the death-dirge so soon to be re-enacted over that assemblage. ‘Music! "Twas the last source of joy that they could ever know, and also the last thrill of ecstasy their soul could e’er partake, the last glo- rious chant to cheer them on their way and the last ‘BUGLE CALL’ to Death H.

Fen i 26 « foe > > > ; oy HARRY CAREY 2 The Fox” The girl was Pearl White and the man with her was Paul Panzer. They had been on Chimney Sweep Island making scenes for an old Pathe pie- ture. They did not know that the oarsman was Harry Carey, who a year before, had been fetured as “The Biograph Burglar” and was then peddling fish around the hotels, hermiting on Chim- ney Sweep Island, writing plays and living on an income of twenty thou- sand hopes a year.” ‘Today Harry Carey is the foremost out-of-doors star in the screen. Many screen stars would lift their eyebrows right out over their heads at mention of anything but a life of fabulous luxury from their cradle to the present day but Harey Carey is proud of the fact that his success was only gained after a long period of turd caine. One survivor remarked that he will never forget the music while the lead- er was waving his baton with a cloud of white above his head, as he rushed from the impending danger and es- caped with minor bruises. ‘The organ had just finished its ‘Grand Amen’ as the orchestra filled in and commenced its final rehearsal for judgment, the leader with baton in hand weaving that stalwart harmony together with the agility of a Createur, the death angel the while riding in his ‘white cloud’ above his head, and then— “THAT LAST CHORD.” It, at least, may be pleasant to think of their going under cheerful circumstances that otherwise could have been far more unpleasant and harrowing. Dreadful as it was, the fact that all were being entertained under pleasing environments with sweet music ringing in their ears, gives hope that smiles upon their faces which so quickly was trans- formed, was but their Passport in Transit. . . . and the music played on but in another world!

Crossland of the Veterans Bureau, spoke to all ex-ser- vice men in the university. ‘There were many men in attendance. Dr. Crossland, stated that at any time he would be at the service of the colored man, and that he would do all that he could to obtain whatever is due his people thru his department . At-the Tuesday evening Chapel ser vices Dr. J. E. Moorland of the Na- tional Headquarters of the Y. M. C. A. and an alumnus of Howard spoke to the student body. The message found place in the students interest, as they are always glad to have their men of note who are achieving some- thing to come and tell them of their onward stildes.

In 1906 Joe Gans (Old Master) was thought to be all in, and the public was hailing Battling Nelson the champion light weight because of his vietory over Jimmy Britt. So to show that he was still King of them all Joe came forth from semi- retirement and entered hard training to condition himself to meet the new Mike (Twin) Sullivan at the old Woodward Pavilion in San Francisco, Calif., January 19, 1906, It was no easy pickings for Sulli- van was a good welter-weight and Gans was supposed to be on the down- grade. It took all of Gan’s cunning to overcome Sullivan's natural ad- vantages. The first three rounds Joe made- very little showing owing to Mike’s superior reach and height but in the fourth round we began to see the Gans of old. Sullivan becoming a bit careless left an opening which Joe was quick to seize and drove a right to Mike’s stomach. ‘The fifth was the same as the earlier rounds Sullivan digging away at Joe’s ironbound defense in vain. ‘The sixth opened up with a fierce attack by Gans, driving Mikeeto the ropes with a fusilade of left and rigths to the face, receiving little or no damage in return. ‘The Seventh was all Gan’s, receiving onexblow in the face after he had punished Sullivan with body blows. In the eighth Mike started in with everything he had but doing little harm to Joe. Suddenly Joe reached out and caught the oncoming fighter flush on the chin. Sullivan fell into a clinch, Joe loosing himself, struck him again this time, Mike fell to his knees but still holding on. Sullivan was in bad shape, nothing but his gameness kept him from going down and out in the ninth, for he was a badly battered fighter. Joe deliverd some awful punishment in the tenth but Mike came back for more and was trading blow for blow at the bell. During the eleventh and twelfth rounds Sullivan staged a rally being cheered on by the spectators. The thirteenth was Mike’s by a big margin, Fourteenth found Sullivan still de- livering the goods untli near the close of the round when Joe gave him a crushing right to the jaw. Sullivan clinched at the beginning of the final round, Gans skilfully broke it sending Mike to the floor with a powerful right cross to the jaw. As Sullivan regained his feet and backed to the ropes Joe rapidly followed smashing him with right and left to the jaw almost at the same time. Mike fell striking his head on the carpet completely knocked out. At the first sign of a r-v, sore throat rub on a little Mustero.e with your fingers.

BRAND NEW PUZZLES Foreword: Little friends, do not send any but original puzzles or conundrums to the Page. All the puzzles and riddles in this column are brand new.

I hope it will soon enable you to be an Honor Child.-Ed.) Dear Editor: I am sending the Tribunes after I have read them to my cousins in New Rochelle, N. Y., and they say that they enjoy them very much, especially the Children's Page. They say they work the puzzles after they get through with their lessons and correct them when the answers come. I sent you a drawing but I guess it found its way to the waste basket after all. I am sending you most of the answers this week. The best picture submitted last week was a pencil, three picture, comic by Charity B. Ryce. Its caption is "Little Mable"; the story is as follows: Ellen has a little sister whose name is Mable. Their mother reprimands Ellen by saying: "Ellen, you haven't a bit of sense. Hurry and clean up that junk." We next see little Ellen as she asks, "Ma, have you any sense?" Her mother replies, "No, Mable, mother gave the insurance collector all the cents she had." Later, when alone, little Mable says to herself, "Well, if Mamma has not any sense I don't suppose I have any either, so I'm just as bad off as Ellen." The pictures are well drawn and the expressions on the characters' faces show that their little artist has a pleasing insight of character study. Samuel Smith's pencil sketch "This is a Cruel World" portrays the ordeals of a lad who has to shovel off snow and cut wood before he may join his friends for a jolly sleigh ride. Henrietta C. Taylor's sketch of a girl reading the Children's Page is very good. We were hoping we could have the pictures' appear on the Page but as yet this can not be done. Please continue to send in your drawings as they shall be kept and if the time comes when they will be published we shall gladly do so. In the Negro race there are many great men. To my mind the greatest of these is Hannibal. One may not think this but I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to show you some of the greatness of this Negro. Long before Christ made his visit here on earth there were two great cities facing one another with the great Mediterranean Sea as a dividing line. These two cities were Rome and Carthage. Carthage was in Africa and was a thriving city which was the envy of Rome. Then Rome declared war on Carthage. It was during this war that Hannibal became famous. In every battle he conquered the Romans. If you were to read the ancient histories you will see what a great man Hannibal was. In one bat-3400 men but he whipped them completely because his brain was more than a match for the extra 3400 men. HOW TO JOIN THE T. P. C. C.

DID YOU KNOW: That there are 310 Negro manufacturers and proprietors of clothing factories? That there are 206 Negro jewelers in the United States? The first champion in American pugilism was a Negro, a slave, one Tom Molineaux, of Richmond, Va., who in the first part of the nineteenth century won his freedom by winning a $100,000 stake for his master? Negro soldiers were the first American soldiers to receive the Croix de Guerre, the coveted French military medal? There are nearly a hundred towns and settlements in the United States populated and governed entirely or almost entirely by Negroes? We bought more Liberty Bonds in proportion to our wealth than any other element of American citizenship? That there are 762 Negroes engaged in the real estate business? Negroes own twenty-five million acres of land, an area equal to that of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island? That we should be proud we are Negroes and forge ahead and do worth while things so as to add a bit of prestige to our race?

BOYHOOD OF SEBASTIAN GOMEZ Nearly three hundred and fifty years ago, in the city of Seville, lived one of the greatest of Spanish painters—Bartoleme Esteban Murillo. Many beautiful pictures painted by this master adorn the palaces of the Old World, while a few may be found in the possession of wealthy art-lovers upon this side of the water. In the church of Seville one may see four beautiful paintings—one, a picture of Christ bound to a column, St. Peter in a kneeling posture at His feet, as if imploring pardon; another, a superb painting of St. Joseph; one of St. Ann; and a fourth, an exquisite picture of the Virgin Mother holding the infant Jesus in her arms. These paintings are largely sought for and long gazed upon by all art-lovers who visit Spain, and are particularly admired by artists for their truthful beauty, delicate tints, and natural coloring. But they are not Murillo's. These noble pictures, the pride and glory of Seville today, were conceived and executed by a mulatto, Sebastian Gomez, who was once a slave, then the pupil and in time the peer of his illustrious high-minded master. The childhood of Sebastian Gomez was one of servitude. His duties were many and constant. He was required to grind and mix color used by the young senors, who came at the early hour of six in the morning to take their lessons in drawing and painting in the studio of the great Murillo; to prepare and stretch canvas, run errands, and be ready at all times to answer the capricious demands of these high-born and imperious youths. The poor mulatto boy had, however, in addition to a generous heart and amiable temper, a quick wit, bright intellect, and willing hands. His memory also was excellent; he was not without judgement, and what was better than all, he was gifted with the power of application. Intellect, wit, memory, judgement are all good endowments, but none of these will lead to excellence, if one has not a habit of industry and steady application. Sebastian Gomez, at the age of fifteen, found himself capable, not only of admiring, but also of appreciating, the work of the pupils who wrought in his master's studio. At times he even fancied that he could detect errors and blemishes which they failed to note in their studies. It chanced, sometimes, that he would drop a hint of his thoughts, when handling a maul-stick, or moving an easel for some artist student. "How droll it is that the sly young rogue should be so nearly correct in his criticisms!" one of the puilpl's would perhaps remark, after overhearing some quiet suggestion of the mulatto lad. "Aye, One would think the slave a connoisseur," would laugh another. "Truly, it was owing to a cunning hint of his that my St. Andrew's arm was improved in the foreshortening." "It was Gomez who detected first the harshness in my coloring of this St. Catherine's hands, and noted the false curve of the lower lip. The lad has the true eye for color, and in truth he seems to guess at form as readily as some of his betters." Such were the remarks that often followed the lad's exit, as the young senors lightly commented upon his criticisms. There came a time, however, when the poor mulatto received from their lordly lips far other than light comment. One day, a student who had been for a long time at work upon a "Descent from the Cross," and who, but the previous day, had effaced from the canvas an unsatisfactory head of the Mater Dolorosa, was struck dumb with surprise at finding in its place a lovely sketch of the head and face he had so labored to perfect. The miracle—for miracle it seemed—was inquired into, and examination proved that this exquisite head, which Murillo himself owned that he would have been proud to have painted, was the secret work of the little slave Gomez. So closely had he listened to his great master's instructions to the pupils, so retentively stored them in his mind, and so industriously worked upon them while others slept—his custom being to rise at three in the morning and paint until five—that he, the servant of the young artists, had become, unconceiously to himself as 7 disdiscovering the genius of Sebastian, was enraptured, and declared that the young lad should be in his sight a slave no longer, but a man, his pupil and an artist. "Other masters leave to posterity only pictures," exclaimed the glad master. "I shall bequeath to the world a painter! Your name, Sebastian shall go down in posterity only in company with mine; your fame shall complete mine; coming ages, when they name you, shall call you 'Murillo's Mulatto.'" He spoke truly. Throughout Spain today that artist who, of all the great master's pupils, most nearly equals him in all his varied excellences, is best known, not as Sebastian Gomez alone but as "Sebastian Gomez; the Mulatto of Murillo." Murillo had Gomez made a free citizen of Spain, treated him as a son, and, when dying, left him a part of his estate. But Gomez survived his illustrious master and friend only a few years, dying it is said, about the year 1590. From the London "Chronicle" October 1915 The announcement that a Negro has enlisted in the Welsh Guards recalls the days when many of our regiments had black bandsmen. These were first attached to the army in 1783, owing to one of the Guards' bands having refused in a body to play at an entertainement organized by the officers. As none of the men was attested they could not be punished for insubordination, so the officers petitioned the Duke of York, then Commander-in-Chief that bandsmen should in future be made subject to military law. The Duke would not agree to this, but he brought over from Hanover for the Guards a complete German military band, which included Negro players for the bass drum, cymbals, and triangles. Nearly every regiment in the service hastened to reorganized its band, engaging colored performers for all percussion instruments. Down to 1841 the band of the Scots Guards included a Negro musician. IF If we call ourselves and each other "nigger" why and how can we expect the other races to refrain from doing so? Don't use the word "nigger." NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Williams, Daniel Hale: noted physician. Born in Pennsylvania. Dr. Williams graduated from Northwestern Medical School, practicing in Chicago, and while a member of the Illinois State Board of Health became one of the principal promoters and founders of Providence Hospital in 1891. This Hospital established the first training school for colored nurses. Dr. Williams remained as attending surgeon in this hospital until 1912. For several years he was surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D.C., and was later connected with Meharry Medical College and St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago. Dr. Williams is famous as the first physician to perform a successful operation on the human heart. He was made a fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1913 and received the degree of LL.D. from Wilberforce University. THE INDIAN'S RELIGIOUS NATURE The following hymn (from the Navaho) printed in the December Southern Workman illustrates the religious nature of the Indian.

The Race has been recognized of Arthur G. Froe. With the appointment of Attorney Arthur G. Froe, of Welch, W. Va., to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, the two big political jobs generally given to colored men are filled—but only one of them, Recorder of Deeds, by a colored man. The Registry of the Treasury was recently filled by the appointment of a white man—by a Republican President. For the latter position, President Wilson first nominated a colored man from Oklahoma, who declined to accept the position, and then Mr. Wilson nominated an Indian from the same state who was confirmed and served. It is significant that both of the appointments, that of Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds, were made by President Harding within fifteen days after the self-styled colored "Legislative Relief Committee" had sent out its long winded boast to the effect that it was in close touch with "Senators, Representatives and Republican leaders" and was wielding influence upon them for the giving of the two plums above mentioned to colored men. This "Legislative Relief Committee" is a self-appointed one and consists of a number of political plum seekers who maintain "headquarters" at 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue. It is also significant that this "Legislative Relief Committee" was not consulted concerning these appointments. The newly appointed register is a white man and hence this committee was not consulted about his appointment; while the newly-appointed recorder, Mr. Free, was not known by them. The manner of the appointment of these men to these positions, is clear evidence of the insignificance of these sycophants—self-styled leaders of the Race. They are parasites on the race and are simply hungry job-hunters. Mr. Free comes to the recordership with a clean record and merits the position to which he has been called. He has served the race faithfully in West Virginia and comes to the capital of the Nation as a means to a larger life of service. He has come up from an humble farmer boy by his own efforts. His clean-cut, persevering character will be an inspiration to many in the capital city. The Race has been recognized in the appointment of Arthur G. Froe.

All Washington mourns the loss of life, and sympathizes with those injured, in the Crandall Knickerbocker Theatre disaster. Many theories have been advanced by officials and others as to the cause of the falling roof. We are of the opinion that the falling was due to the enormous weight of the large fans, together with the weight of the large electric motor (said to be 20 horse power) weighing many tons, all of which were hung up in the roof of the theatre. The constant vibration of this powerful and heavy motor and fans, it would seem, would weaken a roof structure and eventually crystallize the steel beams, which were subjected to the strain and vibration. It is hoped that a thorough investigation will fix the responsibility, and too, that such laws and regulations will be passed and enforced which will make impossible such another catastrophe. All theatres with such equipment in the roof should be inspected and examined now, and it should be seen that the roof has been designed and built sufficiently strong to carry this extra heavy equipment.

The third fire company to arrive at the Crandall Knickerbocker disaster was that of Numbe 4, located on Virginia Avenue, Southwest. This is the only colored company in the District and was the fartherest away from the Knickerbocker. Members of this company worked faithfully doing rescue work and helping in every way possible to relieve the suffering and rescuing the dead. Several investigations are under way, the Senate, the District, the Coroner's Jury and the Grand Jury each making separate investigations. Engineers and constructors from other cities have been here looking Coronor's Jury is to meet Tuesday the 7th for its investigation. A number of engineers and constructors from other cities have been here looking over the building's ruins and experts of every description have been called upon for their views. In expressing an opinion on the disaster it is reported that Senator Capper said that there seemed to be a general panicky scramble of architects, builders, building inspectors, and even the theater manager themselves, to clear themselves of any blame for the disaster.

He asserted that Mr. Crandall, as operator of the Knickerbocker should have satisfied himself at all times that the building was a safe place to invite the public. Senator Capper said that as he held out for the public busines, it was his duty to see that he had a perfectly safe building to hold them. Even segregation has its advantages, especially when the roof of an exclusive theatre falls in on the unsuspecting patrons killing and injuring more than 225 of them at one crash. DISCRIMINATION SHOWN AT THEATRE DISASTER It is almost unbelievable that on last Sunday morning, while falling steel, terra cotta and other portions of the walls and roof of Crandall's Knickerbocker Theatre were making the lives of the colored rescuers hazardous, discriminatory acts on the part of some white persons, in charge of coffee and sandwiches, were being committed on every hand, against the colored workers. Some of these men, were among the first to appear on the scene. They had worked many hours without food and at the sight of steaming coffee and sandwiches, they felt confident that they would be among those served, but they were passed by. Undaunted by such discourteous treatment they labored unceasingly without the slightest sign of dissat- A.

ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Carriers were Faithful Charles Holland and Ernest Turner, our local Tribune carriers, braved the storm of last Saturday and delivered many papers to our patrons. They de- serve much credit for their faithfulness and we hope that those patrons who failed to receive papers will take in consideration the hardships these lads faced. It was no encouragement for them to repeat this feat, if similar conditions should arise again, because only thirty per cent of the papers delivered were paid for. Please treat these boys as you would your grocer or duggist; if they serve you right, pay them, if they do not, then report to 803 S. Fairfax St. and your case will be looked into. We do not mean to keep complaining of those who fail to pay—but only by paying for the paper can we keep it going. We sincerely appreciate our patrons who by sending in news, obtaining new patrons, and praying for the paper, are helping to keep the Tribune in Alexandria. Notice If you decide to stop taking the Tribune also devide to pay for papers credited you. No paper is left to persons other than those who ordered it. C.

He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday with military honors.
