The Washington Tribune Froe Confirmed As Recorder WEST VIRGINIA ATTORNEY'S NAME GOES THROUGH THE SENATE WITHOUT OPPOSITION All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, No. 41 Froe WEST VIRGINIA NAME GOES TO SENATE WITHOUT Attorney Arthur G. Froe, of Welch, W. Va., was confirmed by the United States Senate, Wednesday afternoon to be Register of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The confirmation of Froe was the second by the United States Senate of a Colored man during the 11 months of the Harding Administration. The other confirmation was that of Minister to Liberia, Rev. Hood of New Jersey. Atty. Froe was a dark horse in the race for this long cherished plum and had the backing of Representative Goodykoontz of the 15th West Virginia District, Senator Sutherland and Senator Elkins. Atty. Froe is a law partner of State Representative Capheart of his state and has been very successful in County and State politics. The Senate confirmed Froe without opposition which is in direct contrast to the stormy opposition against Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was nominated by President Harding last July. Atty. Froe is expected to be in Washington the early part of next week. He is now at his home in Welch, W. Va. MEDICAL FRATERNITY CONVENTION NEXT WEEK The Chi Delta Mu Medical Fraternity will convene at its annual Convention on February 22 to 24, inclusive, at Washington, D. C., where the Alpha Chapter is located. The publicb session, to which everyone is invited, will be held at the chapel of Howard University on the evening of Thursday, February 23rd, at eight o'clock.

Edwards, Demonstrator at Howard Dental College, will speak on "Dental Prophylaxis"; and Dr. B. Price Hurst, Pathologist at Freedmen's Hospital, will take for his subject "Prevention of Pneumonia." These addresses will be semi-scientific and their chief purposes will be to enlighten and help the public. The local chapter has planned for a big dance and reception at the Murray Casino on U Street, for the 24th. It is to be a strictly formal affair. INSPECTORS O. K. DUNBAR THEATRE The special committee of engineers appointed by the Commissioners to examine all theater structures made a thorough inspection and investigation as to the construction of the Dunbar Theater building on Wednesday of this week. In talking with F. Morris Murray of the Dunbar Co., they expressed themselves as being satisfied as to the construction and safety of the building and were high in their praise of its design. This building was designed and built by Isiah T. Hatton (deceased), using exclusively colored mechanics and workmen; and is owned by the Southern Aid Society of Virginia. The theater is under lease to the Murray Brothers. Published Weekly Conf ATTORNEY'S THROUGH THE UT OPPOSITION Senate Committee Told of Conditions In Schools Here Mrs. Murray, Mr. Grimke, Mr. Richardson Appeared Last Week At the hearing Friday, of the school situation, before the Senate Committee, of which Senator Capper of Kansas, is chairman, three colored organizations were represented. Mr. A. H. Grimke for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. George Richardson, for the Associated Civic organizations and Mrs. Daniel Murray, for the Parents' League. It was said by those present that Mrs. Murray presented a most succinct and comprehensive view of the school situations as affecting colored people of the District. She said that the Parents' League endorsed the compulsory school bill. The League also endorsed the free text-book bill for high schools as well as the grades. Mrs. Murray advocated the purchase of ground and erection of a new building in connection with Armstrong Manual Training School, for its immediate future needs. The antiquated condition of the Stevens school was told to the Committee by Mrs. Murray. The building has 24 rooms but not enough ground for one portable building. She recommended a new building for Stevens with an assembly hall, gymnasium and a community playground to serve the entire group of schools in West Washington, within an area of six blocks. Mrs. Murray told the Committee that the John F. Cooke building was condemned in 1912 as unsafe. It has ten rooms and over 500 students. The principal has notified the authorities that she will not be responsible for any accident that may occur there. The fire escapes are unsafe, the furnace is in such a condition that great care must be exercised regarding fire and fuel. The toilets are old and offensive. For several years, there has been no gathering in the hall where formerly they gathered for general service. The floor sways under the weight. She asked that a new building be erected and the name retained for the sentiment that goes with it. John F. Cooke did much during the days of slavery, for the education of colored people. During the famous "Snow Riots" in Washington, he was marked as a victim because he was teaching Negroes to read and write. He was notified by a friend, who furnished him with a horse on which he made his escape and went to Lancaster, Pa., where he remained until the sentiment against him had subsided. When the old building at 14th and H Streets was torn down to erect the hotel on that corner, workmen found old spelling books, slates and primers in the walls and under the floors, where they were hidden by the colored men who were anxious to learn to read and write. The name of John F. Cook should remain sacred in the educational circles of Washington. Mrs. Murray asked that the new building include an assembly hall, gymnasium and a community play-ground large enough to accommodate the eight schools in this neighborhood, none of which are now provided with adequate play-ground facilities. The land in the rear of the Garnet-Patterson group was recommended to ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 REV. TAYLOR'S CASE POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY 28 Crowded Court Docket Forces Further Delay in Church Case Attorney Scott Ordered to File All Papers in Case At Once The case of Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church on an alleged mis-conduct charge, which was to come up today before Justice Bailey, was postponed until Tuesday, February 28th at 1:30 P. M. The case was postponed because of the crowded docket in the Equity Court, where the case will be tried. Atty. Armond Scott, who is appearing for Rev. Taylor, was ordered by Justice Bailey to file all his papers in the case at once. Atty. Scott petitioned Justice Bailey to grant him an extension of time until the 28th, the day of the trial, but the Justice ordered him to prepare his papers and file them immediately. Atty. Jones stressed the importance of hearing the case at once because of the chaotic conditions now prevailing in the church. A large part of the membership remaining away from the church until the case is finally settled in court. But because of the crowded docket, Justice Bailey postponed it. Sentiment has been gradually crystallizing against Rev. Taylor until now he is holding on only by a slim margin. He has made several desperate attempts recently to win public sentiment, but apparently has met little success. It is stated that the case will positively come up for trial on the 28th at 1:30 P.M. A large crowd was disappointed Thursday when the trial was put off. The court room was crowded to its capacity and many were on the outside. DEAN MILLER ADDRESSED KIWANIS CLUB Dean Kelley Miller of Howard University addressed the Kiwanis Club of Buffalo, N. Y., last Wednesday, Feb. 8th, at the Statler Hotel. Dean Miller talked on the theme "The Negro's part in the new reconstruction." The Kiwanis Club is composed of white business men of Buffalo. The club meets every Friday at luncheon time and has some speaker of National fame to address them. Dean Miller was the first Colored man to address the club. be purchased, up to V street. The League desired that a regularly qualified substitute list be maintained for the best interest of the children. They desired to go on record as favoring a salary scale as a strong incentive for experienced, sympathetic and best teachers to remain in the first three grades of the elementary schools, for much of the child's attitude towards school life depends upon the impression made by its teachers in these grades. The new recruits from the Normal school should be placed in the fourth grade and up. where children can better take care of themselves. Mrs. Murray asked for pre-age schools for the deaf children of the District where they could be taught articulate speech and language so that by the time they are ready to enter first grade, they will be able to be educated along with their hearing brothers with whom they must live and work. She asked also that Agriculture be introduced in the High Schools to train in truck garden farming which might in part solve the Alley problem of the city. SPEAKERS EXTOL DOUGLASS AT CELEBRATION Senator McCormick Delivered Principal Speech Before Large Crowd WOMEN'S CLUB PRAISED Seek to Make Cedar Hill a National Shrine for the Race The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association conducted a memorial program at the John Wesley Church, Tuesday night, with Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, as the principal speaker. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of the National Training School for Women and Girls, was master of ceremonies. Attorney Chas. S. Hill made a short and pointed speech. He said that the race needed leaders who would not turn out of line and forget their duty to the race because of becoming absorbed with the interest of the other fellow. "I wish our leaders would recuseate themselves and follow the example of Frederick Douglass. Ally. Armond Scott, former head of the Elks, in his speech, referred to Douglass as the only leader the Negro has ever had. He pleaded for higher education as one of the means of solving the Race problem. Mrs. Mary Tolbert, of Buffalo, N.Y., said "The reason for the meeting tonight is the 105th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass." She told of how Mr. Mortimer Harris brought the condition of the Douglass home to the attention of the Federated Women's Club which met in Baltimore six years ago. The club accepted the task of redeeming the home and now the mortgage has been paid off and the home has practically been restored, and will be the headquarters of the Federated Clubs. "We want to make the home of Frederick Douglass as dear to our boys and girls as Mt. Vernon is to the Nation," said Mrs. Tolbert. Mrs. J. C. Napier of Nashville, made a plea for those present to make pledges on the cards passed around for that purpose. Senator McCormick the main speaker of the evening was introduced by Mr. Phil H. Brown, of the Department of Labor, who had a prepared introductory. Senator McCormick was very deliberate in his delivery. He was expected to speak on the Haitian situation but departed from his prepared speech and spoke on the quality of Fred Douglass as a statesman. He said that the statesmanship of Douglass was equal to that of Lincoln. In speaking of the Dyer Bill the Senator said "Congress may legislate this winter and it may not. The rules of the Senate are not the same as the rules of the House and when a substantial minority decides to defeat a measure, they can do it. The opposition may be unfounded but if it comes, let us decide like Fred Douglass, to put an end to this evil. The music for the occasion was furnished by the choral club of the Training School. Their most popular hit was when they sang, "We have fought every races' battle but our own." AIM TO BETTER CONDITIONS IN MOUNTAINS The fact that there are scattered over the mountains of this country one million Negroes; and that the average school life of the children of these families consists of about twenty day in a year, and that the child's education in the mountains is seldom beyond the third gate, certainly jus- Office: 920 U St., N.

Stanley Durkee, Col. Walter E. Bethel, official representative of the War department and Rev. E. A. Love were the speakers for the occasion. Mr. Melvin Davis was master of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the university band. The chapel was crowded to its capacity. Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of city schools, was to have appeared on the program but was ill at home. Rev. Love delivered a very touching address. "The Young Warrior" by H. T. Burleigh, was rendered by Mr. Dennis Smith. This was Col. Young's favorite song. BROADWAY MANAGEMENT ORDERED OUT Papers Filed in Equity Court Showing Byars Has No Lease In a suit filed in equity court this week a copy of a notice served on Mr. Rufus G. Byars by Mr. J. S. Leatherman, the owner of the Broadway Theater on 7th St., is recorded as follows: January 14, 1922. Dear Sir: You are hereby notified to remove from the Broadway Theatre now held by you as a tenant by the mouth, on the 15th day of February 1922. J. S. LEATHERMAN, (owner) Mr. Leatherman in giving his reasons for such action stated to a representative of the Tribune that Mr. Byars has failed to cover a lease, and that he (Leatherman) had been put off by Mr. Byars from time to time until within 10 minutes of the hour set for opening of the theater, at which time a monthly rental agreement was entered into. At the expiration of the first month, January 14th, Mr. Leatherman had the above notice served. Mr. Leatherman further states that notwithstanding Mr. Byars has advertised himself as leessee he is not lessee of the theatre. Mr. Byars sets forth in his petition to the court that under a contract dated April, 1921, the owner of the building had agreed to lease said theatre at a rate based on ten percent of the investment, which investment does not justify the rent charged; and that he (Mr. Byars) has been and is ready to comply with the terms of the contract. Mr. Byars is represented by Attorneys Milton J. Lambert and R. H. Yeatman. tifies the creation of the Industrial Education Association. This Association is endorsed by some of the most prominent men and women in the country, and Mrs. Catherine Cole, its president, is calling a series of special meetings for the purpose of raising money to help support the Hidnight, N. C. School of which Mrs. Mary Moore is Principal. The first meeting was held February 5th at 1600 13th Street, the home of Mrs. Addie L. Clarke who is the Honorary President and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Industrial Educational Association. Prof. Neval Thomas of the Dunbar High School was the principal speaker. Prof. Thomas, after heartily endorsing the movement, made a strong plea for the education of the Negro as the solvent for the American Race Problem. "The Mountain Negro" was the subject of an address by Prof. Harrison Hough of Morgan College before the Association on February 12. Prof. Hough made a strong plea for the relief of the mountain people Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS order SCHOOL WATERS MUDDIED BY THE WHITES' ACTION Alumni of McKinley High Claim Building Unfit for White Students SAY GIVE IT TO THE COLORED Board of Trade Favors Segregation in the Branch Libraries There is a definite and insidious program of the alumni of the McKinley High school to have that building turned over for a colored school, in order that they may have a new building. This came to light during the hearings before the Senate Committee. Myles F. Conners, a graduate of McKinley in 1915, and now an engineer in the U. S. Railroad Administration appeared before the Committee in behalf of the alumni of the school. He said: "If we, as the representatives of a white High School agitated the color question, the colored members of the Board of Education might object to it; but I merely want to invite your attention to the character of the population of this section of the city of which this school is the center. The colored population of this section is 28,000." Mr. Conners was asked what could be done with the McKinley building? "We believe—and I think I am expressing the sentiment of Dr. Ballou—that the McKinley Building might be used for the colored High school facilities." He was asked if it would make a manual training school for colored students. "That would eliminate the necessity for the further construction of a building at the present time for the colored students," said Mr. Conners. The fact is that the McKinley High is unfit for a high school, Prof. Louis W. Mattern, a teacher in Chemistry in the McKinley High, said that "The McKinley Manual Training School is not fit for any people to occupy, since it does not have a gymnasium, does not have an athletic field, and does not have an armory in which to put its guns. I think it is high time we get out of that building." Prof. Frank A. Woodward, assistant principal of the McKinley High, advocated turning over the building to colored students, altho it is not good enough for his students. To a Tribune reporter, Dr. Ballou stated that Mr. Conners had no authority to speak for him or express his views. Dr. Ballou stated however, that ultimately, the Cleveland, Business High and McKinley Buildings would be turned over to colored students. In fact, he said that the allocation of these buildings was on the program for the next meeting of the Board of Education. Armstrong is the most crowded building in the District. It was built to accommodate 250 students. There are seven portable buildings in the yard of the school and another is to be placed there next week. It has an enrollment of 997 students. Among the requests of the Board of Education for new buildings and grounds was the sum of $600,000 for additional ground and a new additional building on the Armstrong site. The Board of Education allotted about 31 per cent for buildings and grounds for the colored schools of the District and 69 per cent for the white schools. Gen. Dawes' Bureau cut the amount to 23 per cent for colored schools and 73 per cent for the whites. The House Committee on Appropriations cut the amount for colored schools to 10 per cent and the white allowed 90 per cent. This cut elimi- (Continued on page 8) Music Forum Wellington A. Adams SIGHT SINGING The beginning of sight singing is like the beginning of language reading; one first learns something of the language, then learns to read it; and one must become acquainted with musical phraseology in order to sing melodic passages from symbols. In this regard music reading for singing differs essentially from the mentality involved in reading instrumental music. Nearly all adults and the majority of children have an acquaintance with common melodic forms before taking up the study of music reading. This acquaintance they have acquired as they have gained a knowledge of their language, through the sense of hearing unconsciously exerted. Church music or popular song in some of its phases are familiar experiences of every day life. But this knowledge is at first exclusively associated with the sense of hearing. When the time comes to learn to read music, another sense must be trained to bring to the mind a correct concept of music. Then it is found that the mind turns so persistently to the suggestions of the ear, its first and habitual dependence, that a long course of study, with concentration and effort, is often required before the eye leads the thought securely and independently in music. At last, however, one learns "to hear with the eye," and the goal is attained. Reading music is no longer guess work, depending upon the ear, a precarious process giving occasion to the unconsciously humorous statement, "some days I can read music quite well!"

Additional Theatre News (Continued from Page 4) POLA NEGRI'S LATEST TRIUMPH HERE TOMORROW "One Arabian Night" Promises Oriental Splendor Unsurpassed on Screen A dream of Arabian Nights magnificence and romance brought to life. That, in a phrase, describes "One Arabian Night," an Associated First National attraction. Pola Negri is the star of this production and because of the popularity which her former pictures won for her, Manager Murray is making preparations to handle record-breaking crowds. The Madame Du Barry of "Passion" and La Carmencita of "Gypsy Blood" takes the part in this picture of a wild, whirling, dancing nymph of the desert, for love of whom men fight; in turn, herself loving with the ferocity of the sandstorms that are her playmates. Here she is more beautiful than Du Barry, more artful than La Carmencita—a composite exaltation of both and yet suggesting neither. She has been endowed with a role mere appealing than any in which she has ever been seen, and her talent as a dancer has been given free rein. In her dance before the Sheik, in whose harem she is later installed as the favorite wife, she performs gyrations which probbaly have never been equalled on the screen for she formerly was a member of the fa- Feb. 19, 1921 HERR 918 U St., N.

One must also learn to "see with the ear." The sense of key note, tonality or key-relationship, and intervals, must be established thru the hearing. Generally the beginner has a fair sense of rhythm at the outset; but unless this be specially cultivated it is sure to become obscured by being made secondary to other considerations. While intent upon thinking out pitch problems, for instance, the learner usually neglects rhythm altogether. Here are some requirements in music reading: 1. Lay a strong foundation of tonality. 2. Become acquainted with the symbols of music. 3. Associate pitches with their representation. 4. Inculcate an acute sense of rhythmic accent. 5. Become familiarly acquainted with scales, modes and intervals. 6. Become familiarly acquainted with all standard rhythmic forms. 7. Broaden this knowledge so as to include harmonies and modulation. 8. Sharpen the faculties of memory, concentration, indeed all the general mental attributes which other education aims at.

"One Arabian Night" presents some of the most gorgeously artistic sets ever presented in a photodrama. An entire Oriental city, with the palaces of the Sheik, bazaars, bridges, streets and lanes, was built for the production and the exteriores are almost as beautiful as the interiors. The harem and throne scenes, especially, are work of art, and the groupings of beautiful women, their costumes and the magnificence of their surroundings are startling in their exquisite allurement. Ernst Lubitsch, the master director who produced "One Arabian Night," likewise plays the principal male role, that of a hunchback clown, head of a traveling troupe fo players of which the dancer is the chief asset. The clown loves the dancing slave girl to distraction, and the suffering that he undergoes when she rejects him for a royal suitor forms one of the most tragic incidents of the play, and Lubitsch's interpretation of the part stamps him as one of the best screen players of this age.

CHAPLIN BURNED WHILE FILMING "IDLE CLASS" The filming of "The Idle Class," Charlie Chaplin's latest Associated First National attraction, which is giving so much joy to movie fans throughout the country, was marked by an accident which nearly proved fatal to the beloved comedian. While busily engaged in producing a scene in the studio at Labrea and Sunset Boulevards, Los Angeles, an acetylene torch being carried by an artisan, set fire to Chaplin's coat and the balloon-like trousers which he wears. In a second he was aflame from head to foot. Charles Chaplin Carlyle Robinson, Chaplin's personal representative, and others grabbed wet blankets and wrapped them around Charlie, smothering the flames. He was carried to the movie studio hospital and wrapped in cotton soaked in oil.

Committed myself to "Wild Bill" Costin the bird, who puts a steaming hot towel on your map and ducks out to chat with a dame. Fell asleep in the chair and woke up minus my Catholic adornment on my dome. This shop is owned by Mr. Emanuel Quivers and it is managed by Mr. J. A. Carter. The other facial improvement artists are: Messrs. Colden, George, and Johnson. Good place to gather news too. Glibly bunch. Paid off and departed. Dropped into the Combine for a hot "laddie boy" and a cup of Mocha. This place is a notable gathering place for billiardists and "hundred-or-busters."

On U Street, near the corner of 12th, a large group of flappers were making traffic on the north side of the street impassable as they stood window shopping in front of Mme. Blanche's millinery shop. Her early spring showing of "sky-pieces" for the gentler sex and exquisitely tailored lingerie is attracting much attention. Many of the cardinal red bonnets that are being sported up and down U Street are products of her shop. With a desire to do a bit of reading, I dropped into Townsley's popular race news-dealer, and purchased a number of Negro periodicals and some twisted weeds (cigars). He is assisted in the conduct of his business by his wife. Another neat looking eat-shop or cafe has opened on the "Bullyvard," near the corner of 8th Street. The name, as it executed on the window, bearing the imprint of sign-maker "Soup" Conway, suggests "Weslyn" or "Neslyn," but whatever the name is, this is sure some sharp looking place. The writer sincerely trusts that this new establishment will serve in a great measure toward putting some of the Greek exhibitors of hog-head out of business. The Imperial Clothing Company, race haberdashers, located on U Street, are displaying articles of apparel for men at prices that are just as reasonable as any shown downtown.

The class desires to make this year a banner year for the "Year Book." All Clubs, classes, societies, and the faculty have tendered their hearty co-operation in this movement. The class is now under the guidance of Mr. Milo Cravath Murray, formerly of Fisk, and a student in Commerce and Finance in Howard University. The officers: Mr. Milo Cravath, President; Miss Norean Slaughter, V. President; Miss Fannie Pettie, Secretary; Miss Irma Simms, Asst. Secretary; Mr. Claude A. Riley, Treasurer; Mr. Jas. A. Long, Journalist, King S. Jones, Critic, Miss Mabel Hawkins, Custodian; Mr. Chas. S. Walker, Segt-at-Arms, Rev. R. Williams, Chaplain, Mr. Julian J. Evans, Athletic Director. CLUBS The Caribbean Club, which is composed of foreign students has done a good bit toward encouraging co-operation and fellowship among the students from the British and French Tributaries of South America. This club stands for more than social purposes; it develops those higher essentials among its members which should exist among students coming from the same localities. The officers are: Mr. H. Horne Huggins, President; Mr. Jas L. Norville, V. President; Miss Lucetta A. Taylor, Secretary, Mr. R. S. Young, Treasurer; Mr. K. Bell, Chaplain; Mr. R. L. Prudhomme, Sergt. at-arms. La. State Club The Louisiana State Club, is a club with a purpose. It claims to develop among the students of that state, a brotherly spirit, closer ties of interest, mutuality of principle and purpose. It inculcates into its members the duty of attaining high scholarship and morals. There are thirty-nine students from Louisiana in Howard University, in all departments. Among the graduates for this year: Mr. Taylor Segue from dentistry, Mr. Alvin Jas. Smith from medicine and Mr. Clarence Clemon Haydell from medicine; Mr. Austin Joseph Holliday from Law. Dr. Andrew J. Young finished dentistry in a special graduation last Friday. The club will present a speaker to the student body during the month of March, and will give its annual Prom in the latter part of April. Other Activities The German Club gave its annual dance Saturday evening at 8:00 o'clock in Spaulding Casino. There were 88 in attendance. The Casino was beautifully decorated in sparkling colors. The wonderfully draped walls and the colors dropping from the ceiling added great attraction to the spacious hall. While Doc Fullerton's saxophone gave out its moaning tones, the gathering gave way to the light fantastic toe. Prof. Davis the Honorary President, and Dr. Locke of Philisophical department were present. The German dance is always a novel affair Mr. Walter Adams is President. Friday night, 10th in Rankin Memorial Chapel the Forum presented the Freshman-Sophomore Debate. The debate was one which had caused much work and strenuous efforts on a part of the young women of the forum and the debaters to make it the success that it was. Both classes showed high spirit and enthusiasm by singing songs and by snappy yells. Miss Johanna Houston of the Sophomore class won the loving cup, as the judges pronounced her the best individual speaker. Mr. Sam McVey, presented a pennant to the honorable mention, who was Miss Mary Burrell of the Sophomore class. The Sophomores really deserved the victory; their arguments were forceful, persuading, appealing and convincing. The topic: "THE IRISH FREE STATE IS ADEQUATE TO SOLVE THE BRITISH QUESTION." Stylus The Stylus elects in their Fall Competitive the following successful Competitors: Misses Myrtle G. Henry, Mamie G. Neale, and L. Estelle Brown, Messrs. George J. Davis, E. H. Farrel, and Wendell G. Gladden, Jr. Sigma Gives Scholarship The Phi Beta Sigma fraternity has recently granted two scholarships of fifty dollars each ($50.00) out of their Douglass Fund." At the last convention the Fund was re-organized, and in the future the scholarships will be larger. Dr. Thomas W. Turner of the Biological Department of Howard University is chairman of the "Douglass Fund" Board, which has control of the Fund. Phi Beta Sigma, strikes forth at those things which it feels noble, helpful and uplifting to the race, and to help and defend those who may in the future uphold fallen humanity. The two scholarships were awarded to men of high moral and scholastic attainment, with far reaching ideals, and outstanding personalities. Phi Beta Sigma will do more of the worthy as times roll on. Dunbar Notes Mr. George Hansberry, graduate fellow in Anthropology at Harvard University was a recent visitor to Dunbar High School. Mr. Hansberry has devoted his time especially to the Anthropological aspects of the Negro, and has discovered many valuable facts in connection with the Ancient Negroid Civilization of Africa. Mr. Hansberry visited a number of the History Classes and spoke to the pupils on the great Negro Civilizations of antiquity. He presented many facts proving that Negroes have contributed much to the progress of the world and that there is much to make them proud of their race. On Wednesday, February 15, Dunbar held exercises in honor of late Frederick Douglass. The Reverend Emory B. Smith of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church addressed the students and several musical selections and recitations were given. Dr. H. C. Rutgers, of Holland, leader of the Dutch Student Christian Movement, and a member of the Board of Education of his home town, who is enroute to Pekin to attend a conference on student Christian workers, visited Dunbar on Tuesday. He was accompanied by Mr. Channing Tobias, Secretary of Colored Student work of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Rutgers and Secretary Tobias seemed well pleased with their visit. Dr. Julia Green, under the auspices of the Institute Fraternity addressed Dunbar Girls on Wednesday upon the subject of "The Desirability of the Study of Medicine for Women." Dr. Green in a most interesting way opened up to the girls the wonderful possibilities for women in the great profession og Medicine, which she called the "profession of service." Miss M. P. Burrill, recently added to the faculty at Dunbar is offering several new opportunities to pupils here. She is giving, first, special individual instruction to pupils of faulty or defective speech. Then there are classes in public speaking and last, there are classes in Dramatic Interpretation. Much is being expected from these courses, toward developing talent in speaking and dramatic interpretation. Allison Davis, Dunbar '20, is making a fine record at Williams College where he won the grade of A in each of his five subjects. Sterling A. Brown, Dunbar '18, who made his Phi Beta Kappa Key in his Junior year, made the grade of A in each of his six subjects at Williams College. R. O. T. C. DIVISION AT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY Word has been received by President J. A. Gregg of Wilberforce University from the Adjutant General's Office that Senior and Junior divisions of the Officers Training Corps are to be established at the University, beginning with the next school year. On assuming the presidency of Wilberforce, Dr. Gregg found that these divisions had been discontinued, although the Military Department, established in 1893 is still active, with Major J. E. Green, U. S. A. in command assisted by Sergeants Andrews and Button both of the Regular Army. Dr. Gregg began at once to plan for the re-establishment of the R. O. T. C. and at first was told by the War Department that it was impracticable. He then got in touch with President Harding and the Senators and Representatives from Ohio who lent their influence to the end that the following letter was received last week: 000.862 Wilberforce Univ. Ohio (10-31-21) (Misc. Div.-) CHD.GKD, 273. January 14, 1922. FROM: The Adjutant General of the Army. TO: The Commanding General, Fifth Corps Area, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, to the President, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. SUBJECT: Application from Wilberforce University for authority to establish an R. O. T. C. Unit. 1. Authority is given for the establishment of an Infantry Unit, senior division, in the college of Wilberforce University, and for a junior unit in the preparatory department of the University which, as to enrollment, will be governed by the regulations applying to institutions enumerated in paragraph 9 (c) of S. R. No. 44, Part 1, Reserve Officers' Training Corps. 2. The establishment of these units will take effect at the beginning of the next academic year. By order of the Secretary of War: C. H. DANIELSON, Adjutant General (Received Jan. 16, 1922) Hg. 5th Corps Area. This will mean much to the young men who attend Wilberforce next year, as the War Department furnishes uniforms and accoutrements besides the other emoluments which go along with the R. O. T. C. The young men of the University have received the news with enthusiasm, and it will mean much to others who have been hoping to attend college but have not seen their way clear to doing so on account of the expense. THE CIVIL WAR'S END Ask anybody the date of the Civil War's end and the answer will invariably be: "April, 1865." But the Supreme Court declared that the Civil War came to an end "at the period designated in the proclamation of the President of the United States." That proclamation was dated April 2, 1866. Thus the Civil War came to a formal conclusion on that date, not in April of 1865. Listen to Men of Wisdom Listen to Men of Wisdom "Men are seldom, if ever, more innocently employed than when they are honestly making money," says Johnson; and Mr. Orrin C. Lester, Acting Director, Treasury Department, has said: "The greatest asset of a nation is the morale of its people, and the greatest influence in keeping up morale is financial independence. Until one has removed his financial shackles and has a little money to the good, he can not rise to the full advantage of a citizen. He lacks confidence to accept responsibility. He lacks courage to plan for the future. He lacks means to take advantage of opportunity. A little money saved from honest work and invested successfully is one of the essentials of complete citizenship." The first step toward financial success is a job. The next step is to save something from the job, and to FIND A JOB FOR WHAT YOU SAVE. There is a job for every dollar. How successful a dollar may be at its job depends upon HOW GOOD A JOB IS SELECTED FOR IT. Our company is now engaged in selecting the very best jobs for your dollars.

Jazz, he says, is the evolution of plantation music. At first the Ne- gro, when brought to America as a slave, had no ideal or ambition to sing about. He was a happy and contented character, but he knew only of God and the Devil, with a big D. So he sang Spirituals. Then came love into his soul. He sang of Diana and his Mandy and we had what was known as the “Coon Songs” in the days past. Later a free man, he earned money. He spent much of it on clothes and became a dandy and a dude. Coon songs became ragtime, which later became syncopa- tion. Then unrest took hold of the the Negro, and the syncopation, with its rhythm, became jazz, which is| nothing more nor less than several’ rhythms played as one. | Instead of one melody, readily dis- tinguishable, jazz, when properly play- ed is several different rhythms, played by several groups of instruments at the same time. It is founded on the principle on which are based our sym- phonies and overtures. “In fact,” says Johnson, “I know of many cases where jazz has aided in the appreciation of the works of our great music masters, for the ear trained to follow the several rhythms of jazz, has appreciated fully the num- erous strains blended into one musi- cal whole, which have made the great symphonies and works of art.” Rosamond Johnson is well known to the American public and is the author of several big hits of the past. He has also written a number of Indian Songs. ‘The Indians appreciated his Indian compositions so much until they re- cently made him a sub-chief of one of the well known tribes, naming him Red Star.

Frank Jones, two of Washington's foremost amusement promoters have announced the opening of a series of Wednesday night frolics, beginning Wednesday, March 15th. Under their direction, some of the season's most notable events have been given, Before a record crowd Friday even- ing at Murray’s popular Casino, the Holy Name Guild quint nosed out the Carlisle “Big Five” 22 to 21. It was a bitterly contested uphill struggle that awaited the final whistle for a decision. The Carlisle machine was clearly out of condition and only in the latter part of the game did it show any of the old time championship form. Kenner, Davis, Barber and Hill, for- wards, Frazier, center, Mayo and Clarkson, guards, were the outstand- ing players.

Armstrong High added two more vietories to its already long string. Baltimore High and Fairmont W. Va. High were the latest victims. Much credit to coach Westmoreland. No local basketball lover should let the season close without seeing the Arm- strong boys in action. The second game of the Armstrong-Dunbar series will be played on the latter’s court on Monday Afternoon, February 20th at 3:00 p. m. On the 28rd, Storer Col- lege will play Armstrong here. Lincoln University quint defeated the Baltimore Athenians Monday night 41-40, on the latter's court. Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock in Spaulding Casino, Howard University the Diamond Lightning Five met the Freshmen and triumphed in a fast, and exciting game. Both teams came out with grit and a fighting spirit. The Daimonds came out with their spark- ling erimson and cream uniforms, which glittered as they slipped away from opponent to make their many successful goals. This was the Dia- monds first real game, and with the fashion, form and style which they showed, it is but theirs to win the cup. The team was fast, active, and heady. The Freshies put up a hard battle, fought hard, but they were out- played and outclassed. Jackson, and Burrel played good ball for the Fresh- ies. Their work in the first of the game accounted much toward holding the Diamonds scoreless for five min- utes. Line-ups: Diam. (17) Positions Fresh. (7) Rozier ...:....0R.F. .........

Delta Defeats Medics Very interesting and sensational was the game played Monday evening at 6:30 o’clock in Spaulding Casino, Howard University, between the Delta Big Five and the Freshman Medics. Delta won by a big shade, and actual- ly trimmed the Medics. They showed more teamwork, more skill, and tech- nique in the game.

(Coatinuad te Pane’)... = — and Screen By Jay Bee FORAKER The vaudeville offering is a genuine “scorcher” this week. It is all that amusement bargain-hunters could wish. Margaret Johnson, tall, comely loking and a graceful dancer, opened the show with a delightfully pleasing interpretation of “Memories of Your Mammy.” Her closing number, “Down Home Bhdes,” brought her many hands. This is Miss Johnson’s second ap- pearance in this city. She has just finished a successful tour of the wes- tern T. O. B. A. circuit. Grand Jones and Patterson Trio, a peppery bunch, man, and two nimble- footed “browns” were in the closing spot, All are exceptionally clever foot-flingers and deep-throated song- sters. Their dance numbers are un- like any that have been seen here for sometime. They resemble whirling dervishes in action. Dudley’s U Street Theatre Tim Moore’s Chicago Follies, ten people, is the attraction this week. The members of this aggregation are ex- cellent workers. ‘They were as warmly received here as they were at the Mid-City last week. Tim, the inimitable comedian, is one of the members of the first bill that played this house during the time when it was operated by Mr. A. J. Thomas. This is Tim’s first engage- ment in this house since 1911 or 1912. ANNIVERSARY WEEK TO BE OB- SERVED AT THE FORAKER THEATRE Special Feature Attractions to be Presented S. H. Dudley to Speak The sixth anniversary celebration of the Foraker Theater will be held Wednesday, February 22nd. Manager Murray announees the ex- hibition of a number of feature at- tractions. A specially prepared musi- cal program will also be offered. Mr. S. H, Dudley, theatrical mag- nate and one of the best known men in the theatrical profession, is slated ‘to be one of the principal speakers. | The Foraker Theater has always been operated by race men and as a race enterprise it has alwys been loy- ally supported. THEATRE NOTES Mrs. Ethel Stafford of Tim Moore’s Chicago Follies is confined to her home on account of illness, Miss Grace Green, pianist of the Foraker Theatre, is a prime favorite with the patrons of this house. She is a clever interpreter of screen plays. She is ably assisted by Mr. Henry Jones, trap artist. Miss Green formerly played at the ‘Palace of Joy, Coney Island, New York and at the S. H. Dudley Thea- ter, Petersburg, Va. Famous Record Star to Appear at the Casino Miss Lucille Hegamin, reputed to be the world’s greatest record star, will appear at the Murray Casino at an early date. Miss Hegamin has a host of ad- mirers in this city and it is expected that she will receive a hearty wel- come. An augmented orchestra will also be an added attraction. The af- fair will be under the direct supervis- ion of Messrs. Geo. H. Tucker and J. Howard Matthews of the Orientals. BOXING The Wills-Dempsey situation re- mains the same. No one as yet has exceeded Promoter Brady's $200,000 bid and this sum was sneered at by Jack Kearn. All fight fans are look- ing forward to Wills-Norfolk match. Kid Norfolk treated Tate rather ‘roughly when they last met while Wills harmed Bill very little. There may be a surprise in store but we doubt it. ‘The Wills-Norfolk mateh is slated for three different dates, March 2nd, seemingly is the correct one. TRACK | The All-American Track team se- lected by the Secretary of the A. A. U. recently released contained the names of Ned Gourdin as broad jump and pentathlon winner and Earl Johnson 5, 10 miles and cross-country champ- ion.

MURRAY (A Short Story) By Lewis Hillman, Author of "Kindling Ashes," "The Golden Scheme" and others. Yes, it would have to be, she told herself, while she stepped back in awe as the giant engine chortled past and the train pulled in along the platform by the small station. Nervously she gripped her traveling bag and looked earnestly at Gilbert Hammond. He had been very nice to her; tried to convince her it was best not to go. But she must not let anything stand in the way of her future. Gilbert loved her, she was sure. Yet, did she love him in return? She couldn't answer the question. She had decided to go to New York on the strength of Archie Boll's advice—and he was a New Yorker who knew. How often of late he had told her: "Your face and figure are worth a million dollars to you in New York." Since thinking it over, she had been asking herself: "Can a poor girl reach the heights of millionaires and stay there? Then she glanced at Archie Boll. His suave matter-of-fact way held a convincing note wholly new to small town folk. He paced up and down the platform as if he were merely going on a business trip. Just the man to show her how people do big things in a big town! The dull cloudy afternoon depressed her nevertheless. Why couldn't Gilbert Hamomnd go elsewhere and do big things? He had nothing to supply a girl of tastes—nothing but love. And girls must live. "I may be in New York soon," voiced Gilbert stout-heartedly, as if in answer to her thoughts. "Anything to be near you." "Bye-bye, Gilbert," murmured Fantosse Delvane, then turned to her mother who trembled for her daughter's safety. "God-speed, Fantosse, my dear," mumbled the mother in a dry senile voice that trembled with emotion. "I'll make good, mama," were her last words, when Fantosse tore herself from the parental embrace. At one a. m., a year later, she sat in the Luxe Cafe with Archie. "Things are getting ripe for you and me," Archie told her. "Even wealthy men frequent the Luxe. I'll see that you get in the circle of the best society. Among such fellows as Brookfield, Claymore and Gavwort, you can get a leverage that will bring you in contact with the millionaires. When you get to the top you've got to pick me up—financially." "Yes," absently agreed Fantosse, staring at a gentleman several tables away. The man looked very much like Gilbert Hammond. "That's Martin Dawn, the millionaire's son," enlightened Archie, following her gaze. "His father is king of a dozen oil gushers down in Oklahoma." Fantosse scarcely knew how it happened; but son she was conversing with a Mr. Brookfield then young Martin Dawn. She gasped a little at the rapidity of events. She had been a maid, waitress, chorus girl, and was now queen of the follies—meeting a millionaire. Upon the edge of the highest human mart she poised ready to be carried this or that way by the heavy tide of finance. Still, every thought of Gilbert Hammond silently rebuked her. Martin was quite an affectionate young flapper. CASIN Sometime later she met Gilbert at the stage door after the show. "You must be doing well in New York, Gilbert," she remarked, surprised at his attire. "Oh, I'm making a little money here," was his noncommittal reply. "You're certainly getting ahead, Fantosus, but—" "But what?" "You'll know some day. I'm very glad to see you, tho'. You have great ambitions, but couldn't you improve on your methods of procedure toward the realization of them? Physically you're the same girl. Mentally you're very different from what you used to be." "Have I undergone any drastic changes, Gilbert?" she queried. "I do think a little more than has been my custom. Now, don't chastise—" Then Fantosse was diverted by a fashionably dressed man who handed her his card and requested her to call on business. Leaving Gilbert she vanished into a waiting cab with Jules Candleer, the artist. While the latter sought a model, young Dawn desired a wife. And Gilbert, who was making splendid progress, must be considered. She hesitated, because there was no hurry. Broadway's gay life had put nectar in her madly pulsing veins—in grandeur she really lived! O Fantosse should have taken warning from the scene that greeted her one night when she stepped into the Luxe Cafe. Gilbert and Martin had got into an altercation and a fist-fight about her. Arbitrators hushed the matter; but an undercurrent was planted by the incident. Her relationship toward Dawn might now be less secure, since the brawl. The entrance of Archie Boll set her mind at rest for the time being. "Why didn't you pose for Candleleer the artist?" he wanted to know. "You must be off! He's worth a cool million! He promised me five thousand cash to persuade you to pose several pictures for him! There he is, coming in the door now." Fantosse consented to the artist's request. Filled with jealous resentment at the reception accorded the artist. Martin Dawn left. Fantosse hadn't long shifted her activities from the stage to the art studio, when Martin Dawn married her. Now she must change and hold firmly to her position, she decided. Why had she promised to pose for those pictures? There was a partially finished picture she would complete, then she'd quit for good. Inadvertently she was destined to run across Gilbert quite often in the most unexpected places. He never spoke; always seemed enshrouded with dull suppressed emotion—like a soldier on guard. Martin Dawn had seen him so many times she could almost swear he was growing suspicious. Why didn't Candlele make haste and finish the picture—so Martin would never know? One day, when the painting was near completion, she was horrified by a sound at the studio door. It was Martin Dawn, her husband who had followed her! She was posing almost nude. There was grave danger in his cold black eyes and twitching lips. She neglected her lanquid posture and gaped in terror at those eyes. Candleer appeared unconcerned when he spoke: "Resume your pose Fantosse. Pay no attention to that man." Enraged beyond measure, Dawn pulled a revolver and shot Candleer thro' the heart and stood hovering over Fantosse. The later gathered her numb senses and recovered with a fine display of temper and bearing. Then in rushed Gilbert and everybody within ear-shot of the tragedy. Unnerved Martin let the pistol slip to the floor and blankly stared at the blue haggard face of the dead man in a crimson pool. Dawn was lodged in jail for murder, escaped the electric chair thro' claim of temporary insanity, while Fantosse secured a divorce. Thereafter the expense of keeping Archie Boll supplied with money was heavy in the extreme. To save the fast dwindling resources, she opened a tea-room on Broadway. Business was flourishing for a time, because many people wanted to see the girl a millionaire had killed another about. Sometimes Archie ran the Fantosse Tea-Room, while Fantosse made the rounds of the art studios for more engagements as a model. The artists considered her too dangerously beautiful. Gay midnight parties became less frequent; Brookfield, Claymore and Gavvoort shunned her. The old life lost its glamour and color. One evening Gilbert came into La Fantosse Tea-Room and ate in silent silence. There was no old love in his eyes as of yore—only the depths of great pity as he looked at her covertly. Nobody liked Fantosse anymore, was a harsh thought that oppressed her. The foundation rocks of public opinion were crumpling, and the pedestal she had reached became untenable. The world's finery was naught but glittering brass; putty. And while falling, she had seen Gilbert rise to prosperity. Her looks had faded, the mirror told her. When Gilbert paid his check, he whispered in her ear: "A friend of mine wrote me that your mother has been stricken by a stroke of paralysis." In compassion his eyes were pools of an admixture of light and darkness as he studied her a long minute. Fantosse brokenly sighed and covered her face. Midst the gaiety of Broadway she had forgotten the little mother at home. She would make herself all over new for mothers' sake. Looking up; she fancied she detected a hint of the old love Gilbert used to have for her. Her eyes glistened with joyous tears; but she would never marry him—the Creator knew how deeply she felt her unworthiness. "I'm going to work for mother the rest of my days," she resolved simply, while real earnest tears flowed down her sallow paintless cheeks. "She needs me now more than ever before." "God-bye," mumbled Gilbert, with what seemed a great effort at finality. Then he strode out into the gray afternoon. Thickening gloom of falling night made Fantosse feel how cold and cheerless the world can be. Business was very dull of late. Only a half-dozen customers were scattered about the comfy little place when the bright lights flashed on and dispelled part of the murky atmosphere. In self-decision she repeated Archie Boll's old-time phrase: "Your face and figure are worth a million dollars to you in New York." Soon Archie walked in and demanded money. But Fantosse scribbed a draft payable to her mother and spiritedly mailed it. "There's nothing much coming in nowadays. Mother There will be a big basketball game at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Friday night at 7:30 between the "Y athletic club" and the Baltimore "Y". If you want to see a good game, don't miss this one. Another big game will be held at the Y. W. C.

McAdoo, the general Secretary is away on a short visit to Cleveland, Ohio. A few more good singers are wanted for the Atonement Chorus which rehearses at Phyllis Wheatley on Mondays at 8 P. M. DR. ALEXANDER TAKES ACTIVE PART IN LEGISLATIVE WORK Trenton, N. J.—With the opening of the annual session of the New Jersey Legislature, Dr. W. G. Alexander, first member of the race to be elected as a representative of that Body, started upon his second term. He was given some very important committee assignments. He was made Chairman of the Committee on Industrial School for Colored Youths, Bordentown. He is also a member of the Committee on Social Welfare, the Committee on Public Health and the Committee on State Village for Epileptics. The Atlantic City Hotel Men's Association gave a dinner for the Governor and the members of the Legislature at the Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City, last week. For this occasion Dr. Alexander was a house guest of State Senator Charles D. White, the Majority Leader of the Senate, and proprietor of the Marlborough Blen-Heim, Atlantic City's largest hotel. Don't ask me for money again." Archie slouched out growling inaudible imprecations. Though Fantosse tried hard to live right, things went from bad to worse, when she was evicted from her tearoom for failure to pay rent. Meeting the same fate at her lodging house, she wandered thro' the streets premeditating suicide. Oddly enough she bumped into Archie. "Let's take a trip on a yacht with a friend of mine?" suggested the latter. "Just for oldtime's sake. They will have wine parties and everything. Nobody will know you. I'm invited to bring company along. The fellow is cruising down the coast to Florida and the West Indies. Brace up once more." Fantosse meekyly acquiesced and received the surprise of her life when she learned that Gilbert Hammond owned the yacht. He paid little or no attention to her during the evening's festivities in the salon. Despondent to the last straw of courage, she ventured out on deck with her wild thought of self-destruction uppermost. Muddy clouds gathered in the distance astride a gale of wind. Dark moving shade quickly covered moon and stars, while lightning flared and stroked across the mass; billows lifted, rolled and swelled. She could jump over the taffrail and nobody would need to know, she mused, sitting in a deck chair. Life was too bitter to live. She had tried, oh, so hard to change her ways; but the stain of the past had buried her under an avalanche of sorrow and trouble. Lapping waves crossed the deck and she drew back shuddering. Before she could reach the companionway a huge wave struck the ship and swept her overboard. She closed her eyes in the gruesome inky abyss. As men gathered on the deck, a weird twist of fate returned her to the boat's deck on another wave. Then Gilbert was standing over whispering: "I've seen the gallant fight you've made. I know all. "Yesterday I was ruined in the "Street," and even this yacht is mortgaged. I have nothing anymore; but I still think of you as the little unsophisticated girl who left years ago." "Do you?" she asked faintly, the smile of heaven on her face. "Such noble philosophy, and a—nobler man. Incomparable Gilbert."

LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Mr. Frazier: I have become very interested in the Children's Page which I read every week. The things that interests me most are the items about the Race. I am fifteen years of age and a second year pupil of the Dunbar High School. When I was in the 7th Grade I made a booklet containing the pictures of colored soldiers. I also composed a short poem about these soldiers. OUR HEROES For thousands of men to fight, Our colored heroes took the task Of trying to do their might. Many hardships they endured— But they have medals I am sure: They went across the dangerous sea To fight for liberty; They gave the huns a lick or two And did it very well: That's what our brave boys went thru And their adventures some day they will tell. CORNELIA JACKSON Dear Editor: I am answering the puzzles and Negro History to the best of my ability. I am hoping to become an "Honor Child" again. I do not want my brother to get ahead of me so I am going to get busy and show you what I can do. OLGA T. BECKWI. H, (Age 10) Note: *Olga was second "Honor Child" and her brother ***Carl has been "Honor Child" three times. I would suggest that brother get busy as it is evident that sister means business.—Ed.) My dear Mr. Frazier: I am still interested in the Page even though I don't write. I am going to become a member of the T. P. C. C. I have been "Honor Child" once and hope to become so again. Enclosed find answers to puzzles and questions and also two original poems and one original puzzle. ALEASE WOOD (Age 13) NOTICE! Dear Editor: I have a pet kitty, her fur coat is black and white. Mother gave it to me. She is so nice and clean I let her sleep on my bed. When we have lettuce she mews for it and mother gives her some. I love her so much that I don't know just what to say about her. I must say we have a good time playing ball together. Her name is Toole. I am three years old and mother teaches me the four rules. I hope I am the baby of the T. P. C. C. ELIZABETH JORDAN (Note: Little Elizabeth, I send greetings to Toole—what an odd name. You are the baby of the T. P. C. C. and I'm sure all of the larger members of the club would like to meet you. I hope some day to meet and know you—Ed.) To the Editor of the Children's Page: After reading the Children's Page, I am very anxious to become a member. Your four simple rules I like well and will always abide by them. I am very fond of music and I am learning to play a violin. I like to read the daily paper and I always read what I can about the antilynching bill. After I heard a lady ask my mother to give something to the N. A. A. C. P. as they are in need of funds to continue their good work, I have been trying to think of some way to help so I decided to ask each of my friends for at least a nickle. I thing this will be part of the fourth rule and I hope every little member will try the same rule, that is; try to do something for the Race. I attend Slater-Langston School in the 3-B grade. Miss G. I. Jones is my teacher. CHARLES TWINE, (Age 6) (Note: Dear Charles, your letter is a good one. You will find it more fun to gather old papers and sell them as junk and turn the money over to an association than you will by asking others for money. Write again soon—Ed.) Dear Editor: This week for the first time I have answered the History Questions. I find them very interesting. I also receive the Tribune weekly.

Jim thought, "A man has to have some recreations before he sets squarely to work." He had been to college, he had some business practice and, as he concluded—had escaped prison. What more could a firm want? Vernon Langdon, Jim's father, had worked hard, saved much and at the age of eighty-five, he had died, leaving a fortune to a son, a lad about, twenty-five. Before he died, however, he had given Jim a thorough high school training, had sent him to college four years and had given him two years practice in a business corporation. But after the death of the father, Jim had left the straight and narrow path to lead a dissipated life. By this procedure be squandered all but about $200 of his fortune. He read the papers eagerly, and many a good chance seemed open. One read: A man about forty years of age, wanted. College education. Business experience.—Phone N667 and make appointment." After making the appointment, he went to the place. The office was on the third floor—south. He entered the elevator, got off at the third floor and sought the office. This, he quickly located by the sign "Mansfield and Co." He turned the knob, opened the door and found himself in a spacious room with a business—yet cheerful air. The floor was covered with a rich persian rug. The room was expensively, yet, simply furnished. Adjoining this was another room, larger, perhaps, with long rows of desks. A number of people worked attentively. A short, weazley looking little man, with a red nose, upon which spectacles were placed, and a bald head, came forward. As he extended his hand he said, "You are Mr. Langdon who called up about an hour ago, eh? I am Luch, a partner of Mr. Mansfield. Glad to meet you." The two men shook hands cordially, sat down and then plunged into business. "You've had a college education I presume." Then he asked thoughtfully—"Where"? "I attended four years at Cornell, Jim replied, "and this is my diploma," he added as he handed the same to Luch, who read it and returned it. "So far, so good." "What business experience have you had?" "I worked two years with the "Morgan and Herdon Corporation," Jim added. "Alright!" enthusiastically exclaimed the old gentleman. "And now what have you saved?" The question came like a shock to poor Jim. "What—had—he saved?" Jim's head hung, the joyful expression had left his face. He began to stammer that he hadn't saved "much" but he ended up with the truth. "I haven't saved anything—In fact—I've lost everything." The other man knew that Jim had at one time inherited a fortune and presumed that by now he was, of course very much richer. Luch could hardly believe "his ears" but as Jim was hastening to go, he touched him on the shoulder and said: "My man, although we cannot have you, let me tell you that "The Secret of Success lies in the Act of Saving." And Jim wended his weary way homeward, resolving to put this statement into action. VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 15) TOUISSAINT L'OVERTURE By Henry S. Morris (Age 14) Touissaint L'Ouverture, the Negro chiefstain of Haiti, was a slave on the plantation called "Be Libertas," belonging to a white man named M. Bayou. When the insurrection of the Negroes took place in 1791, Touissaint did not join them until he had helped M. Bayou and his family to a place of safety. Touissaint, in his duties, had learned to love M. Bayou who had discovered in Touissaint many amiable and fine qualities. In 1797, Touissaint L'Ouverture was appointed by the French Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of Santo Domingo. From 1797 until 1801 the Island of St. Domingo was happy. Later the attempt by Napoleon Bonaparte to re-establish slavery in St. Domingo, failed. Although the attempt failed in its object it proved fatal to the brave Touissaint. L'Ouverture was seized treacherously by LeClerc, a French commander, and he was taken aboard a ship bound for France. There he was thrown into a subterranean dungeon near Besançon where, in April 1803, he died. Since then not one name equals that of L'Ouverture since the discovery of 7 the West India Islands by Columbus. I do not think that there will be any person whose name will equal that of Dominique Toussaint Bredda L'-Ouverture. "HIS APPLICATION TO EVERY- THING." (Age 15) "Slow but Sure" was Mack's motto in whatever he did, especially at this time when he was working out some tough "math" problems. He had just finished the third out of five problems when his mother called, "Mack, it's time for bed, you won't want to get up in the morning—hurry up." Throwing down his pencil and forgetting all about the unfinished homework, he mumbled "Aw shucked!" His mother knew him better than she knew herself for he was one of those kind that didn't want to go to bed and didn't want to get up. After the general routine of sun-rise tactics Mack Rayford set out for rschool with but three-fifths of his algebra examples finished. The remaining were done in a study hour at school but not in the manner his motto required. He thought as he entered the class, "If these are not right, it won't matter, because all of our semester marks have gone in of which, mine, I know, are satisfactory." It didn't matter for the papers that were handed in soon found a place in the bottom of the trash basket. Summer was on and Mack was gloriously helping the little girl next door to feed the chickens when his mother called. As he entered and shut the door that had been warped from the rain, "Change your pants and jacket and hurry down to help your father," commanded Mrs. Rayford, slowly picking up a skin that dropped in the process of peeling potatoes for the evening dinner, then, "His clerk has gone on a two month's vacation and he needs you 'till he is able to get someone to fill his place." Mack hurried from his mother's presence, but no one knew where he was or what he was doing while he was supposed to be changing his pants and jacket, but Mack himself. As the time rolled on mother grew worried as to where he could be, for he had never gone out before without saying good-bye and he would not do so now. However she left the kitchen and was soon in Mack's bedroom where he was leaning out of a window engaged in a conversation with——. "Well of all things," she said as he slowly pulled his head in from the window, "what did I tell you to do? I told you to hurry because your father needs you, and here you are talking with that little Agnes. Don't think you're so much of a man now that you can't do anything anyone tells you." "Well Ma——". "Not a word now, shut up, and hurry up." The rather good sized grocery store of "Pop" Rayford was a unique and well kept place and it could be seen from the floor that it had not had a hand and broom for sometime. Mack, donned in a clean white apron and cuffs, went before his father to ask the ever-changing price of sugar. "Why, Mack, gee you really have grown since you were in an apron and cuffs last summer. "I would never have noticed it—the apron fits you, and the cuffs, you remember, used to fall over your hands, they even fit you too." Mack couldn't be told from a real clerk—which he soon was—for his height accounted for it all. "Pop' if I suit you can I stay the rest of my vacation?" asked Mack anxiously. "Well, I-I guess so if you think you'll like it." Time passed and with it the growing likeness of Pop for the new clerk and that of the new clerk for the job, which, of course was enlarging him financially. "I notice, Mack, that you eat your lunch awfully slow; What—'fraid you might get indigestion?" "Not exactly, Pop, but you see my motto has always been 'Slow but Sure." "Oh, I see" It was then, before, and all through his future life. GIRLS CLEAN STATUE Last Saturday, members of the Girl Scouts, (white) scoured and cleaned the Lincoln statue in Lincoln Park.

It is forced upon them by a system of smaller wages or salaries that necessitate a very frugal ex- penditure that soul and body may be kept together. ‘The majority of our group are unskilled day workers and are therefore at the mercy of their employer who forces upon them a wage barely sufficient to maintain life during these days of high prices, and widespread unemployment. ‘The present situation of our group in Washington, while not as deplorable as it is in some cities, could be materially im- proved by our giving a careful study to the conditions that are confronting us and instituting a program for relieving and improving our economic environment. Everywhere we turn in this land of ours, where we boast that every man is “born free and equal,” colored people are embarrassed and placed at a great disadvantage. In all sorts of ways white people are constantly humiliating us, trying to yemind us that we are an inferior race, and we, too, often ac- cept their valuation. This constant suggestion of inferiority has done much to keep colored people in the back ground, and it has been a discouraging factor in their efforts to make themselves the equals of those who look down upon them. We cannot rise above our own opinion of ourselves. White people are constantly avoiding us, refusing to even sit by us, in public places, in churches, on trains and everywhere they can possibly avoid us. In the matter of education, they take the lion’s share and give us the leavings, which in many states is practically nothing. Notwithstanding all of the discrimination, the ostracism, the segregation, we are ever adding to it and are a party in the matter by our constantly and assiduously dumping our earnings into the coffers of the white man who in turn uses our patronage against us. Could we but formulate a program that would organize our spending power, thru it we could readily improve our pres- ent economic condition. Consider the stores of 7th Street be- tween the Avenue and K Street. From 40 to 60 per cent of their trade is from’colored people. Do they appreciate it? No. If they did, they would give colored persons employement in ra- tio to their patronage. Do you find colored employees in any of these stores? Precious few and then only as janitors or char ‘women. Take the chain food stores at which so many of our people trade. What consideration do we receive for our patronage? Not any. Is it not possible for a few of our people to work out a program of organization and placing of our patronage where we will be given positions in accord- ance with our spending power? Of course we should have the business houses of our own and patronize them, but since we do not have them and are not making any effort to estab- lish them, then lets do the next best thing, organize our spend- ine power and demand positions in keeping with our patronage. 8 Buffaloes Defeat St. Cyprians (Continued from page 4) ‘The Young Men’s Institute Five of St. Cyprians Church went down to de- feat in their initial engagement, the Buffalo Athletic Club of Lovejoy Community Center being the victors. ‘The Buffalo junior won by the score of eighteen to seven over the St. Cy- prian’s reserves while the Buffalo se- nior defeated the St. Cyprians regu- lars by the score of 25 to 20.

(Bud) Robinson, will be surprised and shocked to learn of his death which occurred February 3, 1922 at his home in Ohio. “Bud” as he was popularly known, was a graduate of the High Schools of Oberlin where he also received his degree from Oberlin College. He was a remarkable athlete while school and upon graduation his ser- vices were sought by several colleges, among them Fisk, Howard, Union, and High Schools in several cities, in all of which he made a remarkable success as coach in athletics and as director of Physical Education. ‘The constancy of his work and the seriousness with which he entered up- on his numerous obligations so im- paired his constitution that he suf- fered a nervous breakdown last Spring from which he failed to recover. A very unusyal feature of his fu- neral was the presence of six nephews who acted as the pall bearers. Mr. Robinson was a recognized au- thority on the interpretation of bas- ketball and football rules as well = an excellent teacher of mathematics. HAPRENINGS IN SPORTS By H. Scott Rasketball Coniment is here made on the Car- lisle-Holy Name Guild Game. ‘The real outstanding feature of the clash’ was the great work of Mr. Washington, the referee. For a game ‘being of such importance and be- tween teams so evenly matched there should always be two officials on the floor. It is asking too much of one ‘official to follow the ball and wateh ‘infractions of the rules. On being interviewed after the game Manager Conway stated while disappointed he had ho alibi to of- fer. He was high in his praise of the new champs. He added however that a challenge for a return game ha¢ already been issued and its maturity depends entirely upon the Holy Name Guild management. In Frazier, the Holy Name has a mighty nice target. With more shooting practice and experience ir handling the ball this lofty center may develop into a star. All teams tha have opposed the Catholics this yea have been at a disadvantage at th offset in not having a man to meas ure up to Frazier.

SEEK TO OUST COL Lexington, Va.—Col, Robert T. Ker- Tin, deposed instructor in the Virginia ‘Military Institute, is reported to again ‘be in trouble with the school authori- ties. This time Col. Kerlin is being | sued for possession of the house he oc- cupies here. When Col. Kerlin was dismissed last August, he was granted his salary un- ‘til Jan .1, 1922, with the privilege of ‘oceupying his residence to that date. As Col. Kerlin did not move on Jan.. 1, the school authorities are now en- tering suit against him to force him to vacate. : Col. Kerlin’s letter to Governor Rae of Arkansts on the Elaine rioters case, caused his dismissal from the Military school. Col. Kerlin was im- mediately hailed as a martyr for the cause of the Negro in America. His dismissal caused wide-spread discus- sion both in the north and south. Col. Kerlin has been a statinch friend of the Negro and his late book on the Negro press showed that he possessed much knowledge of racial affairs.
