The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print Vol. I, No. 40 ATTY. HOUSTON NIPS LIBRARY SEGREGATION ATTY. HOUSTON NIPS LIBRARY SEGREGATION Issue Taken Up and Acted On by Board at Last Meeting SUPERINTENDENT OPPOSED All Libraries To Continue Open To All Citizens Regardless of Color A resolution introduced by Attorney Wm. L. Houston at the meeting of the school board, last Saturday afternoon, providing "that access to and use of the branch libraries in the District public schools shall be had regardless of race or color," was unanimously passed by the board. The debate between Attorney Houston and Supt. Ballou over the resolution, became heated when the Superintendent tried to side-step the responsibility of declaring himself for or against the resolution. Mr. Houston said: "I would like to have Dr. Ballou express himself positively on this matter." Dr. Ballou replied "I offer no objection, but this does not mean that I favor it." "This policy may save some embarrassing situations," said Mr. Houston, "I am not willing that the libraries proceed in the dark about this matter. If the board favors white libraries for white persons and colored libraries for colored persons, let it say so." "I am, however, anxious to have it cleared up," said Dr. Ballou, "as to the positive action taken by the board." "Now is the time to do it," said Attorney Houston. The resolution was seconded by Mrs. Coralee Cook and passed without a dissenting vote. Mr. Bowerman of the central library, had asked the school board if it would supply the rooms for 27 branch libraries. The board agreed to furnish the rooms, nine of which will be in colored schools. The question of librarians has been raised; for Mr. James T. Lloyd said: "I don't thing there is any difference here at all when we get down to the facts. I made the suggestion in conference that the white school libraries should have white employees and the colored school libraries should have colored employees. As far as I am personally concerned I hope there is no difference." The object of Mr. Houston's resolution is to take care of the possibility of demanding experienced librarians, while at the same time, the Central library will not accept colored persons into the training course. And too, that the policy of the central library shall be maintained at the branch libraries. That is, that any person may enjoy the privilege of the branch libraries, regardless of their location, whether in a white or colored school. The expense of maintaining these branch libraries, the appointing and supervision of the personnel of the branch libraries will be by the board of directors governing the central library. The school board will only provide the rooms in which the libraries are to be placed. PARENTS LEAGUE MEETS MONDAY The Parents' League met last Monday night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Routine business was disposed of and the present inadequate school facilities were discussed along with the cutting down of the appropriations for the schools for next year. Mrs. Daniel Murray was appointed to represent the League at the Congressional hearing Friday, regarding this matter. The League will meet Monday night at New Bethel Baptist Church, 9th and S Streets, N. W. It was agreed to meet each Monday for the next three weeks instead of the first and third Monday nights as has been their REV. TAYLOR MAKES DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO WIN PUBLIC SYMPATHY REV. TAYLOR M DESPERATE A WIN PUB Resorted To Unprecedented Methods at Services Last Sunday Morning FAKE VOTE TAKEN Everything Even to Flowers Carefully Arranged For The glaring articles appearing in practically every white daily paper here last Monday about the members of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church voting 500 strong to retain Rev. W. A. Taylor, has m.sled many people. According to statements obtained from prominent members of the church, who attended the services Sunday morning, the whole affair was a put up job. It is alleged that Rev. Taylor went so far as to have some of his friends to come up from Newport News and Richmond, Va. It is alleged that he further instructed all his followers to come out to church on last Sunday and bring their friends. In order that the news could be spread broadcast, two or three special white newspaper reporters it is alleged, were invited. Rev. Taylor's attorney was also present. With all the visitors, newspaper reporters and attorneys present and a specially prepared sermon for the occasion, the stage all set, it was believed for a complete march to victory, on the back of the prophet Elijah, whom Rev. Taylor is seemingly trying to use to justify his present and past actions, a vote for the retention of the pastor was called for. According to the pastor's followers, only two voted against and five hundred voted for his retention. According to newspaper reports about 500 people or more were present. However, a member of the church who has been a usher for 8 years and who was present last Sunday, told a Tribune reporter that there was only about 200 people present, and at least half of them, were not members of the church. Leaders of the opposition to Rev. Taylor, emphatically denied that they had planned to try to oust the pastor on last Sunday, nor had they any plans to forcibly oust him, but were resting their case with the court. The trial comes up next Thursday, February 16th, before Justice Bailey. February 4th, before Saturday, Banky Through an article, Rev. Taylor has tried to show that when he came to Florida Avenue Baptist Church, the members had no church home and were dis-organized. The article further stated that the church owned no property and had but sixty members. Charter members of the church stated to The Tribune that these statements are grossly misleading and untrue. One further stated that when Rev. W. A. Taylor was called from Newport News, Va., the members were comfortably housed in the present church and had been in there one year. The members had paid $2500 on the building and were getting along fine. This member branded the statements as part of Rev. Taylor's insidious propaganda to try to get the public to overlook the many damaging accusations filed against him and which are to come up in court next week. All elections in Baptist churches for or against the pastor, are held on a regular or special business meeting of the church, called for that purpose. Members must be notified of the purpose of the meeting. Rev. Taylor's action in calling for a vote at a regular Sunday morning service, is said to be without precedent here and contrary to all laws of the church and decency. One member of the church stated that Rev. Taylor is simply showing how desperate he is as he finds public sentiment turning against him. This member further stated that Rev. Taylor is trying to have something favorable to show the Judge next week, even if he has to make it up himself. (Continued on page 8) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922. TRUSTEES OF HOWARD MEET Local Men Included in New Trustee Board Recently Elected Four vacancies on the Board were filled by the election of Milton E. Ailes, of Washington, District of Columbia; General John H. Sherburne, of Boston, Massachusetts; Dr. M. O. Dumas, of Washington, District of Columbia; and Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of the University. Mr. Ailes is Vice-president of the Riggs National Bank of Washington; General Sherburne led a Colored artillery regiment in France during the World War; Dr. Dumas is a well-known Colored physician of the District of Columbia. The afternoon session was devoted to an extended conference in behalf of the proposed Endowment of Five Million Dollars for the University with a program of a "Million Dollars A Year" to be raised. The immediate need of raising at this time the sum of $250,000 to meet the terms of the conditional gift of $250,000 by the General Education Board towards the Endowment of the School of Medicine was considered. In undertaking the program of raising a "Million Dollars A Year" for Howard University, it is proposed to organize General O. O. Howard Associations throughout the country to be built around Howard alumni, former students and friends of the University. A group of prominent alumni appeared before the Board of Trustees urging that a program for bringing the Howard alumni into more intimate touch with the University be undertaken. Among those who composed this group were: Dr. W. H. Sutherland, Class of 1905, of Glen Ridge, New Jersey; Dr. A. O. Reid, Class of 1907, of Baltimore, Maryland; Attorney William L. Fitzgerald, Class of 1898, of Baltimore, Maryland; Dr. I. M. Lawrence, Class 1910, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dr. Alfred P. Russell, Jr., Class of 1905, of Boston, Massachusetts, and Attorney James Wilfred Holmes, Class of 1890, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Pollyanna's Appeal Overruled by Judge Pollyana Case came up on motion for new trial Monday before Judge O'Toole and was argued at length by Attorneys Davis and Cobb for the defendants and B. L. Gaskins for the plaintiff. The motion was overruled by Justice O'Toole who directed that the formal entry of the order overruling the motion be withheld until Monday the 13th. The defendants' counsel gave notice of their intention to apply for a writ of error to the Court of Appeals. In overruling the motion and directing that the funds collected by the Pollyanna Club for Carrie Johnson be turned over to her, Judge O'Tole rendered a decision that satisfies the thousands of people who attended the "Fashion Show" and who have anxiously awaited the outcome of this case. The decision definitely requires that funds collected for charity must be given to the beneficiary as the public intends. This decision has gone a long way in establishing confidence in the fairness of Judge O'Toole. EMORY R. LEWIS ACQUITTED OF MANSLAUGHTER Emory Russell Lewis, the son of John W. Lewis, was acquitted by a jury in Justice Siddon's court on Wednesday of a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of George W. Lancaster. It was charged that young Lewis while under the influence of liquor drove a car in which was the deceased, at an excessive rate of speed and that he lost control of the steering mechanism and in an attempt to suddenly turn the automobile caused the same to turn over and kill Lancaster by throwing him to the street, the car falling upon him and crushing his head. Lewis was defended by Attorneys Benj. L. Gaskins and James A. O'Shea. The prosecution was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Bilbrey. GARVEY SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCES The local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association presented Marcus Garvey in three locations this week. Each lecture was well attended. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, International Organizer for the association was the associate speaker with Mr. aGrvey. During his speeches here Mr. Garvey denied the many accusations hurled against him by various people and interests. He stressed the need of a free Africa for Negroes and urged the Negroes of the world to organize under the banners I the U. N. I. A. and fight for that end. A canvass was made at each meeting for new members. Rev. McLeane is president of the local branch and has a corps of workers assisting him. TRIBUNE ARTICLE LAST WEEK WAS CORRECT Many people were confused last week after reading the statement in The Tribune that no Colored people were killed in the Knickerbocker Theater disaster. The article in The Tribune was correct. Many people were misled by the two names appearing in The Washington Herald's death column. These two people were not Colored, but their names were inadvertently placed in the wrong column. The Herald, two days later, after their attention had been called to the error, published a correction and stated that the two were white and not Colored. This and many other rumors were circulated around that Colored people were killed in the ill-fated theater, but not any of them could be verified. The Tribune made a thorough investigation of the whole affair, and in every case found the rumors unfounded. RACE VOTE IN DISTRICT DISCUSSED AT HEARING ON LOCAL SUFFRAGE RACE VOTE IN DISCUSSED ON LO SERVICES SUNDAY FOR COL. YOUNG To be Held in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel Howard University Sunday, February 12, has been set aside by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity as Memorial Day for the late Colonel Young, U. S. Army. The Alpha chapter, at Howard University will conduct services on that date in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, University Campus, at 4:30 P. M. Several speakers have been secured for the occasion, among them being Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, Prof. G. C. Wilkinson, Asst.-Supt. of District Schools, and Rev. E. A. Love of Washington, Pa., one of the founders of the fraternity. Music appropriate to the occasion has been arranged by the University Band and the Glee Club. "The Young Warrior," by Mr. H. T. Burleigh, a song that was a favorite of Col. Young, will be rendered by Mr. Dennis Smith, Howard's popular tenor soloist. The committee on arrangements has invited the Secretary of War, The Chief of Staff, and the local posts of the American Legion to be present.

SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS IN REFORM SCHOOL Bernard Thornton Brown, 16, was sentenced Tuesday, the 7th by Judge Sellers, to five years in the National Training School for Boys of the District of Columbia. Young Brown was one of the four who caused the disturbance at the Murray Casino on the night of the 16th of January, when James Cooper discharged his pistol in resisting arrest. Cooper has been indicted by the grand jury. In passing sentence upon Brown, Judge Sellers said: "I am informed by my field man, who investigated this case, that this is one of the best conducted academies in this city and I do not propose that you ruffians shall break it up. It shows your disregard for the law because of its proximity to the 8th precinct headquarters. I can only give you the maximum sentence, which is five years." PROF. WILKINSON TO SPEAK. Professor Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of the colored public schools of this city, will deliver the principal address on a program rendered under the auspices of The Men's Club of Jno. Wesley A. M. E.

Johnson and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham made addresses. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS DISTRICT AT HEARING LOCAL SUFFRAGE Color Question Brought Up By Alleged Friends of the Race LARGE VOTE EXPECTED Rev. J. M. Waldron and Dean Miller Challenged all Statements The hearings before the Committee on The District of Columbia, United States Senate which were held Nov. 8, 14, 18, 21, Dec. 13, 1921 and Jan. 12 and 13, 1922, have just been published by the Government Printing Office. Among the many things the hearing revealed, was the attitude of some of the people here on the question of the Negro vote. During the hearings, two prominent race men appeared, Rev. John Milton Waldron, of Shiloh Baptist Church and Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University. Both men made a strong plea for District franchise and absolute equality for the race. G. W. Ayers, white, who told the committee that he was from Indiana, made one of the boldest statements with reference to the race question, made during the hearing. In his speech, Ayers devoted most of his time to the race question. After reviewing conditions in many states, Ayers said: "Now, so long as white men have fought for supremacy among themselves there is little prospect that any colored race may expect any consideration of equality—economically, politically, or socially—with all due respect of President Harding." In another speech, Ayers related part of a conversation he had with a friend in regard to Negro suffrage should the franchise be given the District. He said: "I am going to touch on the race question just a minute. In the meetings before the House JudiciaryCommittee, I asked one gentleman if he believed in suffrage for the Negro. One man said point blank, 'We will not allow them to vote.' I think that it verbatim. Another gentleman answered my question categorically, and said, 'Down in the Pacific Ocean there is an island with 5,000 Negroes and 41 white men, and when they have an election there are 41 votes cast.' That is the way he answered it. Anyone can draw his own conclusions." Rev. J. Milton Waldron when he spoke refuted many of the charges made against the race. At one point he said: "We have lived in the District of Columbia for nearly 15 years, and during all that time we have heard only two real objections advanced why the people of the District of Columbia should not be given the franchise. The first is, that 'There is a large Colored population in the District; and if the franchise is bestowed upon the people here, the Colored people must be allowed to vote, and they would invariably vote the Republican ticket and always keep the Republican Party in control of the government of the District of Columbia.' "It seems to me, in discussing the matter of the vote of the Colored man, that most of us have got to come to the point where we will look at a man as a man and not at the color of his skin, and must be willing to treat other people as we would like them to treat us." "The Colored citizen has never used the franchise in the District nor anywhere else in the Nation to injure or embarass the National Government, and he never will so long as our General Government believes in and strives to live up to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution." Prof. Kelly Miller used statistics to refute many of the arguments that if given the ballot, the Negro would jeopardize good government. He appeared before the committee on Jan. 12th this year.

Looking over the dailies each Saturday we find a wholesome array of choir announcements of music programs, then why not colored choirs be represented in their own newspapers every week end? Some of our choirs present worthy programs. Among them are St. Mary's, St. Luke's and St. Augustines and several Methodists and Baptists. Let us have your announcements each week not later than Wednesday, at twelve o'clock noon, without fail for our choir column. 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. GITTELMAN STREET, N. W. That Appreciates You Courtesy S.

The hymn 'Dear Lord, Remember Me' was composed by DeKoven Thompson. Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield was called 'The Black Swan'. Madame Sisseretta Jones is known as 'Black Patti' This was not the first time we found items of musical interest and information in these columns and it is proving worth while to adults as well as children in educational value. Especially along musical lines, the history of the race is sadly neglected by grown-ups and students alike and it is indeed timely that the fragments of music about the race is brought out by questionaires from time to time. We will never amount to much in music as a racial group until we develop our own racial themes in music, write our own music, write and study our own histories and dignify our own Art. This is the starting point, with the children, and it will have a chance to grow up in the next generation more fully than in the past when racial consciousness was lacking to a larger extent. C. Leslie Frazier deserves the thanks to the community at large for his able editing of this particular page in the Tribune. Likewise, the Tribune editorial staff deserves commendation for the advanced step thus made in Negro journalism, proving not only their scope of intelligence but progressiveness as well in producing something worthwhile and the times demand it by all means.

No matter how many mistakes they have made about clothes during the long dreary winter, they take fresh courage with the budding of the trees and the return of the song birds. But this hope profits them very little if it is not fortified by knowledge that keeps them from making the same mistakes, or new ones that are just as bad. Most women do not know by instinct about such things as the silhouette, and the "big four lines"—neck-line, waist-line, hip-line, and hem-line: neither can they tell what stand Paris is taking on color and material. So for these reasons, should a few fashion hints be given by one who has dedicated her heart, mind, and soul to the beautifying of the feminine sex, they should be both interesting and helpful. Fashion Hints For the street we find the three piece suit, made of tweed, in black brown, gray, plaids, or some of the subdued mixtures. For the one piece dress we have numerous new fabrics of light-weight woolens, and silks of all colors and descriptions. Most popular are those silks which have designs of bright colors woven in them. For the formal gown, there are glossy satins, tapfatas, crepes, and laces, with ribbon, flowers, beads, and hand-made ornaments for trimmings. HOW THE HOUSE VOTED ON THE DYER BILL HOW THE HOUSE VOTED ON THE DYER BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of New York City, made public this week a list of Republicans and Democrats voting for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and of Republicans who voted against it.

Ducked into the Hiawatha, next door to wait until they clubbed it. On entering the Hiawatha, the glad hand of my friend Mr. Easley shot out, as if to receive a ticket, but instead, we did the pump- handle gag (shook hands). I assured him that I was glad to see him as I waltzed right on in, Head usher “Cholly” Jones was making it pleasant for all. A wellfilled house was devouring a stirring Western story, foot by foot. Much better order nowadays. Thanks to the ushers. Better music. too, thanks to Fullerton. The picture and the music got me going so that I nearly forgot my steak. As I entered the Industrial, I found the steak din- ner being well placed and ready for the onslaught, After a little fancy carving, I successfully subdued the gravy. ‘Mr. Washington, the manager, was busy checking up some accounts. Such a stack of statements, you never saw. This gent is a hustler in the truest sense of the word. He has made “hot cakes at all hours” a fam- ous repast for night owls. “My oys- ters are fine,” is one of his famous sayings. Stopped in the Capital Haberdash- ery. Bought socks and a new patent belt. Was chatting with “Tu-Way Howard,” the manager, when Cy Cook, a descendant of Annias and Ironton Coleman, postmaster of the Senate Mail Delivery truck, cut in for big spiel. Too much gas—I blew. Bre’r George Taylor, the jeweler, across the street, keeps the windows ever aglow. He’s been engaged in the jewelry business for about twelve years, though it was prophesied that he would not last six months. He has been the recipient of the generous support of his own people. Reported to the Managing Ed. Got a social assignment. Climbed into one of Hip-Toe’s chairs for a shoe massage and “red-cabbed” it to the party. Had oodles of fun.

Scott Leading dailies are flooded with ‘the possibility of a Dempsey-Wills match. William A. Brady the man who pro- moted the Johnson-Jeffries fight start- ed the boom when he offered $200,000 for the match, $150,000 to go to Dempsey and $50,000 to Wills. He has deposited $50,000 to assure good faith in his offer but to date has re- ceived no direct reply from Jack Kearn, Dempsey’s manager. Kearn stated through the press that he is willing to have the Champion meet Wills but a purse of $200,000 is only a starter. In the meanwhile many amusing and interesting viewpoints are being expressed by white sport writers. All see Wills as the white heavy- weight champion’s only logical oppo- nent but many declare that public opinion does not demand or want a mixed championship fight and that it would only serve to give the Reform- ers their long desired chance to kill the sport and many such statements are made. But these fight scribes know that Dempsey wants little of Wills. We have always contended that public sentiment would eventually force the champion to meet this colored serap- per and seemingly the inevitable is about to happen. Future develop- ments will depend a great deal on the coming Wills-Norfolk fight, Tex Rickard is reported to have said that he will consider a Dempsey-Wills match after Wills shows his wares ‘against Norfolk, EARL JOHNSON ADDS ANOTHER ~ Earl Johnson the champion long distance runner of today further add- ed to his long string by winning the Williams 3-mile handicap at the Bos- ton Athletic Association Indoor meet Saturday night. ‘The feat was accom. plished in the remarkable time of 14 minutes and 51 2-5 seconds, and against some of the best men at this distance in the country including Cecil Loath, Heigan and others. Johnson’s next appearance will be at Buffalo on February 11th, when he will atempt to capture the two-mile championship. Washintgonians will have an oppor- tunity to see this great runner in ac- tion during the Howard meet in May. A Good Job For Lazy Dollars “Men are seldom, if ever, more in- nocently employed than when they are honestly making money,” says John- son; 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 lacks courage to plan for the future. He lacks means to take advantage of opportunity. A little money saved from honest work and invested sue- 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. Our 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. 19124 14th Street, Washington, D.

N. LURIE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid* Them “TRANSPIRE” AND “OCCUR.” © OCCUR means to take place, to happen, to come to pass; to transpire means to become known, to escape from secrecy, to be made public. It is quite common, ee- pecially in ordinary speech and in writings in newspapers and maga- zines, to hear and see the verb “trans- pire” used instead of “happen” or “occur.” Such usage 1s, however, quite incorrect, and is condemned by crities in England and America. “It transpired yesterday, at the meeting ef the common council, that permls- ston was withheld,” etc, wrote a re porter, but he should have written, “Tt happened yesterday,” ete—or, bet- ter still, he should have omitted the phrase and begun his sentence with “at” and omitted “that.” Following is a case of the proper use of the verb “transpire”: “At the meeting of the common counell yes- terday it transpired that last week's action on the street-railway franchise was not final”—that is, it became known.

Scott Armstrong drew first blood in the scheduled three-game series with Dun- bar at the former's gym Monday af- ternoon by the score 16-10. Neither team displayed the brand of basket- ball expected. Poor shooting and a bit of undue roughness prevailed but clever passing and stellar team play featured. Dunbar was leading at the half and for a part of the latter period but began to weaken and by not hay- ing capable subs to match those sent in by Coach Westmoreland, the lead was soon relinquished. There was no outstanding player, probably because the usually dependa- ble tossers were off form. Neverthe- less all who entered the game showed ability at floor play. The five-man de- fense was used to advantage by both teams. : Line-up Blackwell ......F......... Goldsby Turner... ..000Faseseeeee..

MEN'S DAY AT MT. ZION A Greater Men's Day Service will be observed at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, 29th St., between Dumbarton Ave. and O Sts., on Sunday, February 12th. The program is well arranged and will consist of a large procession, male chorus, duets and solos. The services will be held at 11 A. M., 3 P. M. and 8 P. M. The speakers for the day will be the Rev. J. W. Haywood, Principal of Morgan Academy, Baltimore, Md. and Mr. William Stevenson, Executive Secretary of Young Men's Christian Association. The slogan for the day is: "The Race Track," which will be read by Mr. George Ferguson. This is an annual feature for Mt. Zion Church, but this year it promises to be bigger and better than ever. Dr. U. B. Martin will preside at 11 A. M. service. Editor J. Finley Wilson will preside at 3 P. M. service; Rev. George A. Parker will preside at 8 P. M. service. All men are invited. One outstanding feature of this occasion is that each man is paired with a woman for its financial success. REV. ALBERT MITCHELL, Pastor. G. F. A. NOTES. The G. F. A. Association met on Jan. 27, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. When all business matters were finished the various clubs discussed a different topic. The Honor Girls discussed "A Girl At Her Best In School"; The Volunteer, "Gratitude"; the Sunbeam, "A Girl At Her Best Among Her Friends"; and the Willing Workers were told a story by their guide, Edith Robinson, entitled "The Golden Bird." About fifty girls are enrolled but only twenty-nine came. One new member joined the Willing Workers while the Sunbeam received three new members. The mascot of the club, a monkey, was named Chaucey who answered many questions for the girls. STRONG AS THE HILLS At the Dunbar High School, on Saturday afternoon, February 11, at 2:15 the Howard Players, of Howard University, will appear for the last time in "Strong As the Hills." This performance is in answer to scores of requests that the children of our public schools be given an opportunity to witness the remarkable dramatization of one of their school mates, in the High School. The postponement of the production scheduled for January 28, was caused by the recent snow storm, but now that the definite announcement of the repetition is made, hundreds of school children are expected to be present. High School teachers are as a unit in desiring their students to witness the performance because it means an opportunity for them to gain an inspiration from the pen of a member of their own class. Persia lends the setting for a beautiful love story interwoven with many oriental customs, involving heroism, sacrifice, bravery in the face of trials, mental and spiritual; love with its attendant difficulties of fulfillment; beautiful oriental scenery that would give credit to artists of greater renown; unusual and very artistic dancing both solo and ensemble; weird and entrancing music, with its appeal to the imagination. Mr. Benjamin Washington, representing the management states that the admission to the entire house is TWENTY-FIVE CENTS and the proceeds are to be used in securing needed equipment for the children's playgrounds. R. W. THOMPSON On the 12th of February, two years ago, R. W. Thompson, one of the best known and most widely-read Negro journalists in this country passed away in this city. Mr. Thompson was a nationally-known character in Negro journalism. He furnished the news of the National Capital's activities to almost every Negro publication in the country. By his intimate associates, he was known as the "walking encyclopedia," which name he well deserved, for he was ever-ready with bright bits of information concerning the vital topics of the day. He was widely known in theatrical circles. He was a popular reviewer of Negro theatrical productions and many of our past successful stage offerings owe much to his timely suggestions. Mrs. Grace Lucas-Thompson, his wife, and Mrs. Vivian Thompson-Turner, his daughter were closely associated with him during his journalistic career. The writer, as a cub reporter, during the lifetime of the subject of this sketch, covered many interesting assignments with him and because of this association, he feels deeply grateful.

Intently she gazed at him with tolerant eyes of pity when she learned from her aunt who he was. Everything people had said about him was true. The steady glare of the overhead lights, midst evening's thickening gloom, seemed to make it more pronounced as he swung pendulum-like on a strap near the front of the car. "Isn't it absurd for him to have such notions, Aunt Julia?" whispered Pearline Pollard. "His head is way up in the clouds. His temperamental attitude will be a severe drawback to his ambitions, if I'm half a judge. He must trample rough-shod over folks with an iron heart to make fast progress." "It's nothing but a dream!" was Aunt Julia's comment. "It's madness!" Pearline continued in a low voice. "Aside from a hundred-and-twenty-dollar-a-month job, he owns the house in which he lives—made his last payment on it this week. He has an awful long route to travel to own a theatre in five years." For a few moments she was silent while the car rumbled down the street. Sensitiveness was stamped all over him, she decided. So, this was Oliver Steel! As the care came to a jerking halt, standing passengers were almost thrown off their feet. Mingled with grunts of disgust, one could plainly hear a slight-ripping sound—Mr. Steel had hanged Pearline's hat against the windowframe and cracked the straw. "Mercy!" breathed Pearline, provoked. "Pardon me!" entreated Oliver Steel, biting his lip in trembling confusion. "I'm so very sorry, miss. I —." Still more embarrassed he produced a card. "Present this at Shellberg's and get another hat." "I'm sure. it wasn't your fault," said Pearline reassuringly; and adjusted her hat to the right angle. She felt a deep sympathy for him; he blushed so ill at ease. He was nice looking, tall and straight. For a brief space she hesitated then guiltily accepted the card. With Aunt Julia she alighted at the next corner. Slowly he smiled when he recalled his own awkwardness in the street car incident now a week past. The dark beauty of the girl would always be a dream picture for quiet hours, whether he ever saw her again or not. But such things must be banished from his mind, to carry on business. Oliver Steel promptly answered the doorbell. "Ah, Mr. Witherspoon!" he greeted the gentleman. "Come in." After they were seated his visitor began: "About this house, Mr. Steel. Would you like to sell?" The suave little real estate dealer—from whom Oliver had purchased his home—waited almost patiently. "I think not," was Oliver's decision. He respected the man, but didn't trust him far. Their great-great grand-fathers had once quarreled, so he heard. "I'll give you three thousand more than you paid for it." His property was very desirable to somebody, he considered. And, only something worthwhile would lead a real estate man to make a call. "My price is four thousand dollars more than I paid, Mr. Witherspoon," Oliver answered reluctantly. The man's proposition gave birth to a great plan that only needed careful nursing. The dealer must not detect his suppressed enthusiasm for the transactions. "You'll be at the office to-morrow to close the deal?" Witherspoon's eyebrows lifted momentarily. "Then your price will be paid." His hawk eyes and Roman nose told plainer than words he was interested only in self gain; and would often neglect his own progress to impede the advancement of business competitors. The next day Witherspoon was all bows and smiles when Oliver appeared at his office. As the sale came to a close, Pearline Pollard and her Aunt Julia King walked in. "Mr. Steel," bowed Witherspoon, "meet Mrs. King, who purchased your property thro' me." "An honor to know you, Mrs. King!" was Oliver's simple salutation, while the lady of forty nodded in dignified courtesy. "And her niece, Miss Pollard," went on Witherspoon, all the while trying to figure a way to get the young man to invest the money in his city lots. "It's a rare treat to meet you again," brightened Oliver. "My compliments." returned Pearline with a dazzling smile. "My home was intended for future use," explained Oliver. "But I won't need such a big house while I'm single. Recently altered my plans." "It was kind of you to give it up," was her rejoinder. "When will we see you again? We're giving a reception soon; so you must come." While Oliver promised to attend the affair, Aunt Julia was relating the street car episode to Witherspoon. An idea occurred to the latter when he glimpsed a newspaper heading: Millionaire Loses All In Wall Street, Then Kills Self. Now he had Mr. Steel's weak point—the fellow was so sensitive he couldn't stand extreme humiliation before the public eye. Soon Oliver left the office and entered another real estate firm across the street and made heavy first payments on a dozen houses. On the opposite side of the hall from Witherspoon, he opened an office—Real Estate and Rentals. He retained his former job but kept a girl in his office to collect rents and inform all callers that the boss had "just stepped out." So business flourished, while he and Pearline got on splendidly. Next he got a six months lease on a movie house. When he attempted to renew it, he learned that Witherspoon had forestalled him. The night after Witherspoon took possession of the place, the roof fell in; luckily not a person was in the building. One day he received a phone message from his office girl stating Mr. Witherspoon wished to see him on business. When he arrived at his office the girl had gone. He sat down at his desk with a deal of satisfaction. For nearly five years he had kept rentals ahead of payments; had recently gotten a thirty-day option on a first class picture house, thro' a James Blake; and Mr. M. McCall promised to buy today his twelve city dwellings, which would substantiate the option and pay for the theatre. His smile was cognizant of the fact that he had schemed four years and twenty-nine days. But where was Mr. Witherspoon, who wanted to talk business? In attempting to cross the hall, he is aware that someone has locked him in his office; the keyhole is plugged. A ruse to make him lose his option. His phone is disconnected. He climbed out of his office thro' a window; but was arrested by a policeman who suspected him of being a burglar. Refusing to hear explanations, the officer lodged him in jail. Here an old-fashioned organ had been placed in the jail corridor by the Salvation Army—for musical uplift of the prisoners. Long and earnestly Oliver played the organ; for who needed cheering up more than he? Midst evening's sunset reflected thro' the library window Pearline wondered at Oliver's boast of five years ago. Yet, she was pretty well posted about his progress. Time was slipping. Frantically she grabbed the telephone and called Mr. Blake. "Has Mr. Steel closed the option and bought the theatre?" she wanted to know. Her face fell on hearing a negative reply. There must be some way to help him, she pondered. Phoning elsewhere she got some encouragement: "Iimpossible to buy said houses for you; Mr. Steel sold them to Mr. Blake." In answer to her phone call to Mr. Blake, she heard: "The gentleman who promised to sell me his real estate hasn't put in appearance yet." Then, unable to get connected to Oliver's office, she sensed unfair play. Hastily getting on her wraps she went to his office. The place was locked and deserted. Upon turning away disconsolate, she was approached by Wither-spoon. "Looking for Mr. Steel?" he inquired innocently. "I saw a policeman take him to jail a few minutes ago." His real estate rival was too late to sell his houses and buy the theater, he reasoned. Then he would faint under the excruciating humility of being interviewed thro' iron bars—an interviewed prisoner. For Pearlary to see him in jail would be too much for his weak heart. "Is that really true?" gasped Pearline in surprised anger. "Jump into the car with Aunt Julia and we'll drive down there to see what can be done. Something's wretchedly crooked about this affair!" The three hurried to jail and asked to see the prisoner. After waiting five minutes, they were told that Oliver Steel was not there. Witherspoon stood dumbfounded, while Pearline and her aunt exchanged skeptical glances. Ere the jailer could explain, Oliver walked in behind them. "I couldn't bear to have my friends see me in jail," he commenced. "So I prayed and sang and played that old organ. A couple of crooks thought I did them a world of good by my playing; so I kept it up. Finally one of them touched me on the shoulder and said they had enough music. They said my playing had drowned the noise they had made in knocking a hole in the wall with a piece of an old radiator. They crawled thro' the hole to the outside world. Knowing the jailer would accuse me of abetting them, I left by the same route. I sold my real estate and was barely in time to buy the theatre. Some kind friend locked me in my office to delay business. I'm back here to give myself up, though the window I climbed thro' was my own office window. And I'm not quite so sensitive about what the world thinks, since I've been in jail." Witherspoon felt so uncomfortable he sneaked out almost unnoticed; but Aunt Julia was horrified when she saw that skulking figure vanish into the night. To Pearline this was a starry night of dreams and schemes, for she sighed happily. "I give up," repeated Oliver in all seriousness. "To me," cooed Pearline softly and radiantly. "You're wonderful!" In dreamy peace and bliss sublime, her arms and her lips stole . . . . in the police station. Copyrighted 1922 John Lewis Hillman H. U. NOTES H. U. NOTES At Chapel At the chapel hour Wednesday, February 1, Dr. R. H. Bowling, of Norfolk Virginia, pastor of the First Baptist Church there and an influential citizen of the state of Virginia, spoke at the chapel services in a very interesting biblical address. Thursday at noon, all class work was suspended in observance of "Prayer Day." The entire student body assembled in chapel for services which were arranged. Dr. Bowling delivered a remarkable sermon. He also delivered other sermons during the day. At 1:30 o'clock he spoke to the young women of Miner Hall in the Assembly Room. At 2:30 o'clock in Library Hall, he spoke to the young men of the university. At 4:30 o'clock, he spoke to the students of theology in a special sermon. All of Dr. Bowling's addresses were interesting and inspirational. Vespers Mrs. Mary E. McDowel of the University of Chicago, spoke at the vesper services Sunday evening. Mrs. McDowell, is originator of the Inter-Racial Committee of Chicago, and a warm supporter of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Urban Legae. She is a white woman who is very much interested in Negro welfare. The University Symphony Quartet, which had just returned from a tour of the state of New Jersey, gave selections at the services. Mr. Thornton of the Quartet, rendered a very beautiful bass solo. The quartet: Messrs. Combs, Hemby, Burleigh, and Thornton. Radio-Telegraphy at the University The university is proud to have some very brilliant young men in the Freshman class. Messrs. Franklin Terry and W. J. Newsom, have set up the radio machine which was used in 1918 for war purposes, in first class working order, and communicate daily with various points. Mr. Terry, who was president of his class in the Fall Quarter, is well versed in radio telegraphy, and has a good bit of experience in this work. He possesses a diploma in Radiography, and has been in the service of the Federal Government. A Unique Social Event Saturday evening at 8:00 o'clock, the Sophomore class, of the university gave their annual prom in the Armory of the Dunbar High School. There were many in attendance, despite the snow fall and the snow covered grounds. The Armory was beautifully decorated in the class colors and the music was grand. Faculty Lectures to Begin Soon Faculty Lectures to Begin Soon Faculty lectures for the session 1921-1922, will be held in Library Hall, beginning February 16, at 8:30 P. M. The first lecture: "The Evolution of Democratic Representation in Modern England" will be given by Associate Professor Chas. H. Wesley. February 23rd, Prof. Algernon B. Jackson, will speak on: "The Remaking of Man." March 9th, "The Rise and Development of the American School of Painting," will be treated by Mr. John Vernon Herring of the Architectural School. The fourth lecture will be given on the 23rd of March, by Associate Prof. Martin McLean, on the topic: "The Influence of Women in Education." On April 6, Mr. Robt. H. Terrell will speak on, "The Negro Lawyer." The last lecture of the series which will be given on April 20, will be delivered by Dean E. L. Park, on the subject: "Some Features of Modern Economics." These lectures prove to be helpful and beneficial to the students, and are always largely attended. Medical School Dean Balloch, and the deans of the Dental College recently received a communication from Dr. J. P. Stiff, Secretary of the Virginia State Board of Examiners, informing them of the raise of standards, ratings, and new requirements of the Board, since the Dental course has been raised to four years, which necessitated a raise in the requirements of the Board. In the "Rest Room" of the medical school, on Thursday last, the young women of the medical school embracing all branches, met and organized a new sorority at the University. This organization if successful will be the first of its kind among young women in professional schools. It is earnestly hoped that this will become the nucleus of such organizations among young professional women. Certainly it will be a credit to Howard and in a measure to the race.

I think since he was one of our greatest men it would be nice if we devoted the entire page in his memory. We could have his picture in the center of the page and have essays on his life and work. And then have children send in their favorite poems written by him. I like his poems very much, hoping my suggestion will be worth while. EDITH PETERS (Age 13) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922. (Note: I thought all of my little friends had forsaken me by showing no interest in a "Dunbar Memorial Page" and so I expressed myself last week. I did not receive this letter until after the Page had gone to press. The above suggestions are good and very soon we hope to work out the suggestion of sending in favorite poems by Dunbar.—Ed.)

DUNBAR I come from the home of a poet, Who wove me, with exquisite art, A cloak of the threads of his fancy— Rich 'broidered with flowers of the heart. Oh, wonderful cloak that he wove me, For under its magical spell, I heard in the lilt of a linnet An anthem of infinite swell. I sat 'mid the fragrance of roses, Tho' never a rose blossomed there, And perfume of jasmine flowers mingled With violet scents in the air. Life's lowly were laureled with verses, And septred were honor and worth, While cabins became, through the poet Fair homes of the lords of the earth The plane, where life's humble ones labor In sorrow and sadness untold, Shone forth in my eyes' quickened vision, A field of the fabric of gold. With sorrow, blest cloak, I relinquished And fancied things only are "real." —LIDA KECK WIGGINS SCAMP By Paul Lawrence Dunbar Ain't it nice to have a mammy W'en you kin' o' taihed out Wid a-playin' in de meddah, An' a-runnin' roun' about Till hit's made you mighty hungry, An' yo' nose hit gits to know What de smell means dats a-comin' F'om de open cabin do'? She wash yo' face, An' mek yo' place, You's hongry as a tramp; Den hit's eat you suppah right away, You sta'vin' little scamp. W'en you's full o' braid an' becon, An' dey ain't no mo' to eat, An' de laeses dat's a-stickin' On yo' face ta'skein' k' o sweet, Don' you tink hit's kin' o pleasin' Fri to have som'body neah Dat'll wipe you' hans and kiss you Fo' dey lif' you f'om yo' cheah? To smile so sweet, An' wash yo' feet, And' leave 'em co'l an' damp; Den hit's come let me undress you, now You lazy little scamp. Don' yo' eyes git awful heavy, An' yo' lip git awful slack, Ain't dey som'p'n kin' o weaknin' In de backbone of yo' back? Don' yo' knees feel kin' o' trimby, An' yo' head go bobbin roun', W'en you says yo' "Now I lay me," An' is sno'in on de "down"? She kiss yo' nose, She kiss yo' toes, An' den tu'n out de lamp, Den hit's creep into yo' trunnel baid, You sleepy little scamp. PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR Men know more of his color than his songs, Less of his race's rights than of its wrongs; But if you'll read him you'll quickly see A spirit that makes splendid company. When tired of the trend of classic lore, Which mainly glorifies the art of war, Turning to Dunbar's book, relentantly, We hear the heart-beats of humanity. REMINDS ME JULIUS SAR! Some may condemn the color of the rose But who denies the perfume that it throws Upon the ecstatic air from hour to hour? Paul Dunbar was an Ethiopian flower. —EDWARD J. IRVINE DUNBAR LISTED IN TEXT BOOK A text book is used in the local high schools called "American Literature Through Illustrative Readings" which is compiled by a white woman, Sarah E. Simons. Dunbar is listed among the nineteenth century poets. A short sketch of him is given as follows: "Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1871-1906) is the first representative of the African race to attain rank as an American poet. Some of his work has the true lyric ring. At the time of his death he held a position in the Library of Congress at Washington, D. C." This sketch is followed by his "A Corn Song." BOYHOOD OF DUNBAR Once upon a time there was a brown faced woman who could not read or write, and she married a man much older than herself and neither could he read or write. Both of these people had been slaves, but when they married they were free. In 1872 a little son was born to them, and it is about him we shall talk. This child was Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, and he romped and played like all other children. At the age of seven he began writing bits of verse. The these verses were childish they showed a spark of the genius in them. He attended public school and proved to be an apt scholar. He was interested mostly in spelling, grammar and literature. Continuing to write verses his teachers encouraged him in his determined attempts. His literary tendencies had an outlet while he was attending high school. He was editor of the High School Times, a monthly publication issued by the pupils of the Steele High School. His work along this line caused very favorable comment by all who saw it. When he was nineteen years old he graduated from high school and had the pleasure of hearing the class song composed by himself, sung at his commencement exercises. While Paul was attending school he also had to work after hours, to help support his mother—as his father had died ere this time. It is said of him by those who knew him that he was faithful and loyal to his mother. She always showed an interest in his work and often she laid aside little scraps of paper on which he had written notes for future use. She never threw away anything she saw laying around and in later years some of those scraps of papers proved to contain some of his best works. He assisted his mother by taking home baskets of clothes, and doing odd jobs around hotels and stores. At the age of twenty he was running an elevator, but he continued to write his thoughts in that style of poetry we have come to love so well. At this time Dr. John Clark Ridpath published some of his work in the newspapers and the work received immediate and popular acclaim. He had traveled a long, long road of hardships and at last had come to the end of the road and upon mounting the first rung of the ladder of success he still found that the matter of his being a Negro played against him. But all this goes to show that merit, true merit, must prevail. Although he had many bitter phases of life to face ere his early death he forged ahead and his former condition of life nor color could not hold him back. In 1892 and '93 he had published his first book, a small volume of poems called "Oak and Ivy." It cost $125 to have them published and he sold the books and paid for the publishing through the sale of them. In 1896 his second volume called "Majors and Minors" was published. Later he was appointed to ride in the inaugural parade of President McKinley, with the rank of Colonel. Dunbar is now known as one of Americas' leading poets. He aroused the world with songs of tenderness and beauty, and not as warriors who may accomplish good through the slaughter of others, Dunbar, the singer of God's own songs, accomplished good through touching the souls of all who seek the beautiful. AN INTERVIEW In an interview given a few years before his death, speaking of the development of his literary career and his preparation for it, Mr. Dunbar said: "My mother who has no education except what she picked up herself, taught me to read when I was four years old, and my parents being both fond of books, used to read aloud to us in the evening as we sat around the fire. To this I owe a great deal, but, generally speaking, the early influences surrounding me were not conducive to growth, and any development in myself came from fighting against them. "My first attempt at rhyming was made when I was six years old, I came across a verse from Wordsworth and a gentleman living in Dayton happening to have that name, I thought it was written by him. This impressed itself upon my mind, and as I crossed the railroad track, in going home from school, I remember trying to put words together having a jingling sound. After that I rhymed continually, my mother writing down my productions and preserving them in pasteboard boxes. My father used to tell her that I was not an ordinary boy, and one of my regrets is that he did not live to realize any of his hopes in regard to me. "What I may call my first poetical achievement grew out of an Easter celebration at the Sunday School to which I went, when I composed the verses I had been asked to recite. I was then thirteen years old, and at the same time, Mr. Samuel Wilson, a teacher at the intermediate school which I attended, did much to shape and influence me. He was himself a writer of verse, and refined, traveled and wonderfully well read, he criticised my work and encouraged me both to compose and recite. "After I entered the high school the fact of my being the only Negro in my class was a great spur to my ambition. "The boys were very kind to me, however, and during the second year, I was admitted to their literary society, of which I afterward became president. At this time I contributed frequently to the high school paper, later being the editor. "The first literary work for which I was paid was a prose composition, brought out by a syndicate, my patrons taken in the order in which they came being the Chicago 'Record,' Detroit 'Free Press,' Boston 'Green Bag' and New York 'Independent.'" (From Cromwell's "The Negro in American History.") DUNBAR'S DEATH On February 9th, 1906, it became apparent, early in the afternoon, that Dunbar's end was fast approaching. A physician and then a minister came. Thrice the poet asked the time, and whether it was day or night. Then the minister read the Twenty-third Psalm, which had been Mr. Dunbar's favorite passage of Scripture. The dying man lay quietly, listening. When the reader ceased, Dunbar, in a fast-failing voice, began to repeat the psalm for himself, and when he came to the words—"When I walk through the valley of the shadow—" God must indeed have been "with him," for it was then he fell asleep. BY BAKER (From "The Life and Works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar.") Tuesday will be the fourteenth of February and, of course, that means St. Valentine's Day. Valentine Day, as we commonly call it, is a day claimed by historians set aside in memory of an early Christian priest of Rome. He was murdered in the third century and it is asserted that his remains still rest in the Church of St. Praxedes at Rome, at which place the gate—Porta Valentini (Valentine's gate) was named in his honor. Valentine Day should be one of gentleness and kindness. Don't send or give comic valentines. Some people are easily hurt and a comic valentine may cause them to cry in the heart even if we do not see tears in their eyes. Many years ago no comic pictures were sent, only courteous messages telling of affections, love, and sincerity. The Latin meaning for the word is, a message of "well-being." DUNBAR'S WORKS Paul Lawrence Dunbar was the greatest poet of the race. He deserves much praise for the wonderful expressions of his soul by which he made himself famous. His lyrics of lowly life, hearthside love and laughter, and the lyrics of sunshine and shadow cannot be surpassed. "The Lyrics of Lowly Life" give us an insight into the customs, manner of living and dialect of our forefathers and make our hearts burn with indignation at the thought of what those good people, held in bondage, suffered. "The Lyrics of the Hearthside" deal with inanimate subjects such as love, sympathy, grief, mortality or dreams. These lyrics are suitable for recitation on programs on any occasion. "The Lyrics of Love and Laughter" sends one into a fit of laughter. Who is there who hasn't heard "Tom's Party" a half dozen times, but still at the mention of it clamors to hear it again? Is there one who is not familiar with Caesar Higins in "Jealous" or with "Lias" in "In the Morning"? We have all spent many joyous times repeatedly reciting these favorites. Under "Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow," there is a poem entitled "Puttin' the Baby Away." Every boy and girl should read it. It shows the love of a mother for her child and how she grieves because he has been taken away after only four years stay in this world. It is indeed sad that Dunbar, while yet in his thirties, should have been snatched away. We can imagine what wonderful results would have "been bound to come" had he lived longer. And yet, there is no doubt about the fact, that Dunbar was not only the greatest poet of the race, but he ranks as one of the greatest poets, that has ever lived. -V. M. H.

The Douglass Memorial Association will celebrate his birthday, Tuesday, at the Douglass Homestead in Anacostia.

Colored people over the country have been celebrating February 12th for many years. He was a great humanitarian and will live in history as long as America exists. His act of freeing the slaves of the United States, while forced because of the state of the Civil War, is considered one of his greatest achievements. This endeared the colored people of this country to the Republican party and even to this day is referred to by the politicians, minus facts more pertinent of the present, as an incentive for the loyalty of our group.

He graduated from the Academy of Howard University in 1908 and was in the senior class of the College of Arts and Sciences when he stopped school. For the last nine years he lived in New York City and was chiefly engaged in theatrical and musical enterprises. He greatly assisted the late Leubrie Hill in his excellent musical productions. Mr. Doggett's last public effort was the presentation of one of the plays of O'Neil, the author of "Emperor Jones," at the Lafayette Theater in New York City during the season in 1920-21. Mr. Doggett had made an intensive study of dramatic art for the past twenty years and was without doubt an authority on the American stage and plays. At the time of his death he was working on a play that undoubtedly would have been a great credit to him and his race, and would have compensated him for his many years of study and sacrifice.

VA., NEWS In an issue of "The Alexandria Clarion" dated April 22, 1921, the writer called attention to the need of playgrounds here for, both, white and colored children. Since then the white citizens have put two play grounds into operation, excluding the track at the high school. A site or sites should be obtained by the colored citizens for our child- ren. If it is a good institution for other kiddies it must be a good one for ours. Such organizations as the ministers Association could create thru their church interest in such a movement. Proper juvenile training goes to make better citizens for tomorrow. The two Alumni Associations, the Parent-Teacher Association, the Citizens' Welfare Association, and the superintendents of the various Sunday Schools would do the community a great good if they became interested in starting a playground.

Popular Band Returns to City The Hamer-Faulkner Chateau band of Baltimore, for the first time this season will make its appearance at the Dove's Mid-Winter All-Star Feature Dance at the Phythian Temple, Feb. 14. Miss Gertie Wells and her All Stars will also be one of the features. Prof. Battles Sings at Hiawatha By special request, Prof. George E. Battles, director of music of the Crescent Amusement Corporation, sang at the Hiawatha Theatre during the showing of "Mother 'O Mine." Each show presented an exceptionally appreciative audience. It is in this theatre, year ago, that Mr. Battles, became the idol of picture theater-goers. As a player for pictures, he is in a class by himself. His musical interpretations of screen plays is always the source of unbounded pleasure. Special Program Every Sunday at Hiawatha Mr. Fullerton, musical director of the Hiawatha Theatre and his new band of five pieces, made their initial bow last Sunday evening. They were warmly welcomed. The program consisted of a delightful number of syncopations, medleys and instrumental solo numbers. The band: Fuller, piano; R. Banks, violin; W. Johnson, saxophone; D. Dean, trumpet; Reginald Ashton, drums. All are Howard students. Howard Theatre In presenting Bernstein, Gallagher and Deady's "Little Bo Peep" the management feels it has offered to the patrons of the Howard a performance of metropolitan magnitude which invited metaphors with those seen in play houses in the large cities. The entertainment is clean and refined from start to finish, but chockfull of bright and sparkling music, original and humorous situations, brilliant scenic and light effects, pretty girls with voices and last but not least comedians who are able to interpret the humor of the lines and stage business entrusted to them without overstepping the boundary. Everything that money could do has been done to make this a top nother and how successful it has succeeded will be seen when they appear at the Howard Theatre next week commencing Sunday night. the costuming and mounting are of the most lavish and glitterng style. That famous and popular Jew Comedian Harry Pepper has the stellar honors in the two act musical farce "Izzy and Ike in the Catskills" receiving liberal assistance from Chas. Markert a very natty Straight Man; Chas. Taye another clever Hebrew impsonator, and Robert Hulen a Juvenile. Those who will take care of the female roles are Constance Williams, the sweet and fascinating prima dona; Kathryn Horter, a dashing Ingeneue and Helen Lloyd the pretty piquant soubrette. The advance sale of seats bids fair to more than substantiate the belief that theatre-goers who wait the last minute to procure locations for this grand musical fete may be obliged to take standing seats. Matinees will be given Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays with no advance in prices. Dudlev's Mid City Tim Moore's aggregation of funmakers is the attraction here this week. They have played to packed houses during the entire week. The offering, "Rosie's Wedding" is brimful of good clean comedy, clever dancing and an exceptionally well-trained chorus. Tim is as funny as ever and his droll humor brought him much applause. The members of this ginger bunch are Brown and Campbell, Jessie Cowan, Gertrude Moore, Otis Benson, Irby Trimble, Peggy Montez, Leola Medlock and Elizabeth Turner ("Little Bits.")

TAYLOR ATTEMPTS TO WIN PUBLIC FAVOR (Continued from page 1) Two letters were received this week from charter members of the church voicing their opposition to the put up meeting and vote last Sunday. The letters follow: Washington, D. C. February 7. 1922. Editor the Tribune: I have read with interest and amusement a statement in a local weekly under date of February 4th and caption, "Governing Boards Swear Allegiance" (to Rev. Taylor), signed by seven of a Board of Sixteen deacons and four of a Board of eight trustees, the other deacons and trustees being opposed to him. The signers of the statement claim that they of their own volition prepared, signed and caused the same to be published. This is untrue. The statement was prepared by Rev. Taylor and these men were commanded to sign on the dotted lines. The reason I make the above assertion is this: Some of the alleged authors cannot write their names and not one or all of them together could write a statement one-tenth as well as the one referred to, is written. I have known Rev. Taylor for years: My father, Rev. Bryant Lee, was his mother's pastor. I have received scores of letters (personal) from him. I have head many of his speeches and sermons, nad I know his style of writing and expressions, as well as I know my mother's voice. With this in view, I repeat he wrote every line of the statement in question. That is does not reflect the true conditions obtaining at the Church is a matter of common knowledge and needs no comment. After writing himself up, pinning boquets on himself as thickly as the scales on a fish, he makes a polite bow to the public, saying in effect, "See me. Here is a tip: we have perfect peace and harmony at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church." No person's life is safe at the Church, who is opposed to Rev. Taylor, and many of his opposers are staying away till the Court passes on the issues now before it affecting the Church. All business meetings are opened with prayer and closed by the Police. Casualty list to date: One dead and many wounded. The fighting is still going on. This is what he calls peace and harmony. JABEZ LEE, 1606 Vermont Ave., N. W. An exact copy of a letter mailed under this date to the Rev. W. T. Taylor, D. D., indicating our purpose to fight to a finish. February 7, 1922 Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D: Honored Sir:—You pleaded "guilty as indicted" to the charges filed against you when you issued the ultimatum that you would surrender the pastorate of our church only upon orders from "God or the Court."
