The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print Vo. I, No. 42 NEW RECORDER RECEIVED HIS COMMISSION HERE TUESDAY Attorney Froe Spent Two Days Here on Important Business ASSUMES OFFICE WEDNESDAY Rep. Capehart Accompanied His Law Partner on Visit Here Attorney Arthur G. Froe, of Welch, W. Va., recently confirmed by the Senate for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington. He received his commisison for the office Tuesday and will assume his duties as Recorder the first of March. He was accompanied by Mrs. Froe and Representative and Mrs. Harry Capehart. Representative Capehart is a law-partner of Attorney Froe. Attorney and Mrs. Froe were the house guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. E. H. Taylor, 1623 S Street, N. W., and Representative and Mrs. Capehart stopped with Mrs. Capehart's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Warner Hurley, 1215 S Street. Mr. Froe is about six feet in height and weighs more than 200 pounds. He has the appearance of a man with convictions of his own and with determination to stand by them. In speaking of the conditions in his county, McDowell, Mr. Froe said that they were accustomed to colored people taking an active part in the political affairs of the county and state. "Of the ten Magistrates, or Justices of the Peace, in our county, five of them are colored and one of them is now serving his twenty-seventh year. Another (and by the way a cousin of mine) Squire Froe, has served for sixteen years. We have two colored Representatives in the State Legislature and for more than twenty years, a colored man was deputy recorder of State. You can therefore see that we do not think it exceptional for we have been taking a part in politics and securing a share of the positions. Colored men serve on the petit and grand juries in our county. I recall one incident where there were seven colored men out of the twelve on a case trying a white man." Concerning race leadership, Mr. Froe said: "I am not coming to Washington to save the race. I do not feel that I should assume self appointment as a leader. I am simply a lawyer and not a politician and will discharge my duty to the best of my ability. If I can serve in my humble way, I will do so; but, I am not coming to Washington to assume leadership I feel that our leaders should be sought out by the people they are to serve and not be self-appointed." Mr. Froe has a large and lucrative law practice which he has built up during the past sixteen years. He opened his office in Welch, in 1903. He carried his first case before the Supreme Court of West Virginia in 1909. Since then he and his partner, Representative Capehart, have had many cases before the highest court of the Published Weekly Truth Serum Gets Man His Freedom DALLAS, Tex., Feb 21.—Ed. Smith, colored, charged with murder, who last week, while under influence of scopalamin, administered by physicians in a scientific experiment, reiterated time and time again his innocence, was released from jail Monday. Smith has been in jail six months and when he heard that physicians were to experiment on jail inmates, begged that the drug be administered him. Under its influence de declared he did not know the man he was charged with killing and that he was in Oklahoma at the time. Monday in court he faced two of his accusers, unflinchingly. The two refused to take the drug, suggested as a means of ascertaining if they were telling the truth. Eat Lunch Where Spittoons are Cleaned Eat Lunch Where Spittoons are Cleaned The Employees in Veterans Bureau Victims of Discrimination Segregation still prevails in the various Government departments under the present Republican Administration. A Tribune reporter paid a visit to the lunch room of the Veterans⁴ Bureau one day this week. It is in a small room in which the spittoons are cleaned in the basement. There is in this room a long trough-like place where all the spittoons of the building are emptied and cleaned. The filth from the spittoons is emptied into this long trough and the stench and filth is evident. It is in this very room that the colored employees assemble. Large chairs are placed around the room against the wall. In these chairs, with one arm for the table, the colored employees take their lunch. Most of them get a hot cup of coffee from the white lunch room across the hall with which they drown the odor and stench of the spittoons. The white employees have a nice sanitary lunch room where they assemble and enjoy their mid-day meal. The public health department of the Government, should pay a visit to this lunch room where the colored employees take their meals and pass upon its sanitation. There is segregation and jim crowism in all of the departments of the Federal Government where colored people are employed and the Repubs licans are not doing one thing to relieve the colored employee of the humiliations heaped upon them by their own government. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, an expert in the Veterans' Bureau, has his office in this building. His clerks and assistants also have to use this lunch room. Mrs. Lelia Walker Views Mysteries of an Ancient Land F. B. Ransom, Attorney and General Manager for the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., has received a cablegram from Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson, president and owner of the company, stating that she has safely arrived at Cairo, Egypt, after a delightful cruise through the picturesque Mediterranean Sea from Nice, France, where she had stopped for a time. Mrs. Wilson's stop in the quaint city of Cairo is but one of many that she will enjoy on her sojourn to Liberia where she will be the special guest of President C. D. B. King of that Country, and doubtless will be supplemented by many side trips into the interior of the Country, including a visit to the historic sphinx, pyramids and down the ancient Nile to the Cataracts, to the Libyan Desert and to Alexandria where she will meet the Egyptian and North African Representatives for the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. State. Before leaving the city Atty. Free and his partner, Atty. Capehart, called at The Tribune office and inspected its modern plant. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 REV. TAYLOR'S TRIAL TUESDAY WOMEN TELL OF TRUE CONDITIONS IN CHURCH The case of Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, who has been ordered to show cause why he should not be put out, will be heard, Tuesday, February 28, at 1:30 o'clock before Justice Bailey. This case has attracted considerable attention because of the fact that a murder has been committed within 15 feet of the church's pulpit. The killing of Wm. Bush on Friday, January 13th, and the subsequent events following, has brought to light the turbulent conditions prevailing in the church. Attorneys Thos. L. Jones, Royal Hughes and Geo. Taylor who are represting the faction seeking to oust Rev. Taylor have their case ready for presentation and are determined to make a strenuous fight to clear up the muddle. Attorney Armond W. Scott is representing Rev. Taylor, who has declared that he will give up his charge only on orders from God or the Court. A bitter court battle is expected. Ladies Resent Mis-Statements Many ladies of the church have resented the statements published in several of the local papers concerning Rev. Taylor and accordingly have written a lengthy letter to The Tribune purporting to set forth the actual state of affairs existing prior to the present trouble. The letter follows: To the Editor of The Tribune: As a member of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, I beg to make this statement in reference to an article in a local paper on February 4, 1922, under the heading of "Church Women." OFFICER HALL LAID TO REST Was Member of Police Force For Many Years Officer Ulysses W. Hall of the Eighth Precinct, who succumbed Sunday fater an illness of ten days was buried Wednesday afternoon. The services were conducted at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Mr. Hall was a virile participant in the Y. M. C. A. activities of this city, being at the time of his death, a member of the house management and executive committees of the Twelfth Street Branch. He was well-known in fraternal circles and was loved and respected by the masses. Several hundred friends gathered at his home and at the church to pay their last tribute of respect to an officer of the law and a Christian man of the highest ideals. He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, daughter and a host of friends. In compliance with his request, there was no escort, composed of members of the Public Safety Department, but Inspector Evans, who was among those present, in commenting upon the enviable record of Mr. Hall said, "In the loss of Officer Hall, we have lost a mighty good man." During the recent Knickerbocker disaster, Mr. Hall was numbered among those, who were detailed to do duty there. It is thought by many that while on duty there, he contracted the cold that later developed into pneumonia. "No Woman Knows" the pleasure her children would get out of THE CHILDREN'S PAGE of this paper, if they read it every week. SUBSCRIBE FOR THEIR SAKE First, I will state emphatically that the Ladies Aid of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church does not represent the entire womanhood of the church, nor does it express their sentiments. It is true Rev. W. A. Taylor has been our pastor eight years, but a true and tried leader is a different thing. And yet, I must admit that he has taken the lead in everything that has a tendency to make confusion. At no time has he been able to bring about a reconciliation because it has always been his good pleasure to be on the firing line. Well, if he has been a true and tried leader, let's see about it. The first ripple on the waves came with a break in the Sabbath School. With the superintendent and the school? No! No!—pastor and superintendent. Next there was trouble in the choir. Pastor and chorister disagree and by the time we had decided to forget that, here is another break; this time, pastor and trustees at odds. I am giving these facts to the public because the opposers of Rev. Mr. Taylor are classed as rulers or ruiners and then too, if you hear both sides you are better able to judge. We have done our best to get along with the pastor, but now here comes another break. Pastor and Deacon Board divided. Pastor decides that he cannot and will not work with Deacon Langhorne as chairman of the Board. With this decision comes a division in the church and all Washington knows the fight is on. Rev. Mr. Taylor proclaimed from the pulpit that he was told not to STUDENTS AT HOWARD STRIKE STUDENTS AT HOWARD STRIKE Engineering and Architecture School May Have to Close All students in the School of Applied Science, including the departments of Engineering and Architecture, at Howard University, went on strike Thursday morning in protest against the ousting of several students for non-attendance at chapel service. About 70 or 75 students are involved. The striking students claim that because of their long hours and peculiar nature of their work, they should be given more consideration. It was stated to a Tribune reporter that the students in the Engineering and Architecture Schools have to put in from 30 to 48 hours a week in contrast to the students in the Schools of Libera Arts, who only have to put in 24 hours a week. It was further pointed out that the students have asked for a hearing before the faculty and were denied this privilege, but were granted a hearing before the board of deans. Dr. Durkee, president of the University stated over the phone that there was no strike at the University. He said that some of the students wanted to have their way and had violated some of the school laws. He further stated that the striking students would not be allowed to appear before the faculty. He said two of the students had been suspended and that others had withdrawn. There are 43 students in the Engineering and Architectural Depts. under the supervision of Dean Hatfield and Prof. A. I. Cassell. It was stated that both of these men have done all they could to bring about an adjustment of the trouble, but Dr. Durkee was determined that the students should attend chapel. One student seen by a Tribune reporter said: "It appears that unless the faculty take some steps to give these students fair play as in other technical schools of the United States, the Applied Science Department of Howard University for the (Continued on page 5) Office: 920 U St., N. W. REV. WALDRON TELLS SENATE OF CONDITIONS IN THE ALLEYS Seeks to Get Permission to Have Bonds Issued At the hearing of the Emergency Housing Association, Tuesday, before the District Committee of the Senate, Senator Ball said: "There is no question in my mind that the District Commissioners have ample authority to close up the alleys. As for caring for the people who are thus evicted, I am not sure that is a responsibility of the District Government." This hearing was on Senate Bill No. 2675, which provides for a bond issue of $6,000,000 with which to erect new sanitary homes for the present alley dwellers. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, president of the Emergency Housing Association, was the principal speaker at the hearing. He disputed Senator Ball's theory that most of the alleys dwellers were unemployed and should go to the farms of Maryland and Virginia. Rev. Waldron said that most of the inhabitants of the alleys were employed but at a small wage and while they were mostly laborers, the work they were doing was necessary and they were therefore necessary citizens of the District. "There are 9,000 alley dwellers in Washington," said Dr. Waldron, "and 7,000 of these are colored. The housing plan does not contemplate an appropriation by the Federal government, but a bond issue, which would be fully repaid, with interest, in twenty-five years." Dr. Waldron further stated that the officers of the Emergency Housing Association had called upon various foundations and philanthropists, to assist them, but all of them declared that the District was evicting the alley inhabitants and it was therefore the duty of the District and Congress to take care of them. The hearing adjourned at noon to meet again Friday at 10 o'clock. The bill that is before Congress provides for the construction of safe and sanitary dwellings, to be leased at a moderate rental to persons now residing in the alleys and to other persons; this to aid in carrying out the provisions of an Act of Congress approved September 25th, 1914, entitled: "An Act to provide, in the interest of public health, morals, and safety, for the discontinuance of the use as dwellings of buildings situated in the alleys in the District of Columbia and for other purposes." The present bill has been read twice and was referred to the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia. The hearing Friday will determine the favorable or unfavorable report of the Committee of which Senator Ball is chairman. FORAKER THEATRE OPENS IN A FEW DAYS In compliance with the order of the District Commissioners, the Foraker Theatre on 20th Street, was closed pending further inspection on last Saturday night, along with six other down-town theatres. The special investigating committee, which recommended the closing of the theater, reported to the Commissioners that the ceiling was cracked in a number of places possibly indicating to them that the roof might be of faulty construction. After closing, a further inspection was ordered by the Commissioners, which revealed that the roof was perfectly safe and properly constructed. The management regrets the inconvenience, not only to the house but to its patrons, by reason of the closing order; but nevertheless feels that the closing was justified in that the result has assured them of the absolute safety in the house. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS PROTEST CUT IN APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT Delegation Called On President Harding and Senate Committee GUT AFFECTS BUILDINGS Crowded Conditions in the Schools Demand Immediate Attention More than fifty men, comprising the leading citizens of the District, met Monday at two o'clock, in the committee room of Franklin School building, in answer to a call sent out by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and Attorney Wm. L. Houston, of the school board and Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the City schools. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson presided. The meeting was a protest against the cutting down of the Board of Education's estimate of $916,500 for buildings and grounds for colored schools of the District, to $171,000 by the House Committee on appropriations. The protest centered around the elimination of the appropriation for the Armstrong Manual Trianing School and the proposal to turn over the McKinley Manual High building for a manual training school for colored students. The question came to a head in the meeting of the Board of Education Saturday. Dr. Simon deplored the fact that $550,000 had been asked, as a deficiency appropriation for Western High and $375,000 had been asked, as a deficiency appropriation for Eastern High (both for whites) and the cutting of Armstrong completely out of the appropriation. "Armstrong is the most crowded school in the whole district," said Capt. Newman, principal, at the meeting Monday. "It was built about 25 years ago for 350 students. We now have an enrollment of 1013. We are using seven portables. They are designed for grade work and not for high school work. We have nine classes in the seven portables. These classes must shift six times per day, or 54 time for the nine classes. In shifting in bad weather the children have to go thru rain, snow, mud and water as the case may be. In one of our rooms we have a seating capacity of 27, but we have 50 students in that room. "We think," said Capt. Newman, "that we should have the whole sum of $550,000 for building and ground so that we can relieve the situation at once and not have an appropriation of $100,00 for five years. We need relief now and need it badly." Attorney Wm. L. Houston said that he attended the joint hearing of the Senate and House Committees Friday afternoon and "the Superintendent, Dr. Ballou, spoke for three hours before the Committee and did not mention the cutting down of the appropriation for colored schools to only 10 per cent." Mr. Houston said that he had an opportunity to address the Committee and spoke of the cutting down of the appropriation by the House Committee. Congressman Hamlin of South Carolina asked how and why the reduction was made. He was not able to answer him. Many persons have expressed themselves as being of the opinion that a prominent school official is responsible for the elimination of Armstrong from the appropriation, with the view of using the McKinley High building for the manual training of colored students. Hon. Perry W. Howard was present and said: "I have some little ones in the District schools and I am therefore interested in their welfare. It is unfortunate," continued Mr. Howard, "that our Superintendent, Dr. Ballou, is more interested in his salary (Continued on page 5) Music Forum Wellington A. Adams "THE TRIBUNE" AND MUSIC Possibly the youngest colored newspaper in the country, "The Tribune" today, to our mind, is one of the outstanding accomplishments of the Race in point of service, text, mechanical and typographical form and fundamental polity. In fact, we style it a model among progressive journals. The splendid, unselfish, uncompromising attitude and unexcelled service being rendered without fear or favor to foe and friend alike, makes of this most progressive newspaper a public favorite with the masses that may not so easily be displaced by competitive agencies. nothing to something, est in the subject of readers while meantime coming recognized as a jor characteristics ofples throuth the wor bune" is awake to thi ries "Music" among of its dominant features recognition to an Art tributing factor to the racial refinement.

The Feature articles, Current items, Amusements and Sports, Fashions, Stories, Children's Page, Financial Information, Editorial and last but not least (we hope), Music Forum, are all worthy of a modern newspaper such as the one emphasized.

There he meets Cleo, a famous dancer, and falls madly in love with her. He wants her to give up all of her friends to marry him. Although returning his love, Cleo refuses, and Elmer in a jealous rage declares he will never see her again. A cablegram from the directors of his uncle's company orders him home. They feel he is too long landing the contract. Meanwhile, Cleo has induced a high government official to give the American concern the contract. Elmer looks for her to thank her, but she has left J Paris. He follows her to her country home in Normandy and persuades her to marry him. They go together to his home town, where the local people ostracize Cleo when they learn she is the famous dancer of the cabarets. After a bitter scene with his uncle Elmer and his bride go to New York. Cleo has no idea of money and in order to give her the expensive things she wants Elmer forges checks, signing his uncle's name. He is arrested. Cleo sells her jewels and gowns, but they do not bring in enough to cancel the forgeries. In desperation she breaks her promise to Elmer never to dance in public again, and accepts a position at one of Broadway's famous cabarets. There she meets a great 2 nothing to something, find least interest in the subject of music for their readers while meantime, it is fast becoming recognized as one of the major characteristics of Ethiopian peoples through the world. "The Tribune" is awake to this fact and carries "Music" among others, as one of its dominant features thus giving recognition to an Art that is a contributing factor to the cultivating of racial refinement. Music is an ESSENTIAL, a NE-CESSITY, being no longer a mere amusement in modern civilization. Music enriches life and ennobles character. Its essence is as the beauty of the flower and its Harmony like unto the color of the rose. It lifts man's soul out of the bitter depths of despondency and despair up onto the plains of cheer and hope. Its divine inspiration, as it were, takes man tenderly by the hand and leads him on back to his Maker, God, the source of all his inspiration and joy. An appreciative public who from time to time, have expressed pleasure in "The Tribune's Music Forum," we are quite sure, feel grateful to the editors for their liberal policy in this regard; so much so that, we trust our many readers may find time to give us any news of common interest of choir, club, recital, program or personage in the realm of music, that this department, as others, may "flourish as the green bay tree."

In prison Elmer is visited by his uncle who tells him that he will drop the chrages if the young man will leave his wife and come back to Harmontown. Elmer hotly refuses until he is shown a newspaper advertisement of Cleo dancing at the cabaret. Convinced that she is nothing but a butterfly he accepts his uncle's offer but first decides to see Cleo and tell her what he thinks of her actions. He trails her from the cabaret to the lawyer's home and, breaking into the house, bitterly reviles her and rushes away. Cleo reutrns to her home in Normandy. In the quaint -French farmhouse several years later, Elmer again seeks out Cleo to beg her forgiveness. He has learned of her sacrifice. But reconciliation seems very distant until a little youngster comes dashing in and the father father gathers his wife and child in his arms. The Big Review An attraction that has the distinction of being unique and out-of-theordinary will play an engagement at the Howard Theatre commencing Sun. February 26th, with the usual matinees. It is known as Henry Dixon's "Big Review" and from all accounts is one of the most talked about offerings just now enjoying phenomenal success on the Columbia Circuit. Besides employing a cast of real headline stars and funmakers, this organization differs in personnel and construction being modelled in a way after Ziegfield's Follies, but possessing an individuality and original merit of its own. Foremost among a distinguished cast is Harry (Hicky) Levan, a comedian whose pwowess for arousing laughs is too well known to require discussion. This season Mr. Levan has an able and indefatigable aide in Bobbie Gore who enjoys the reputation of being the highest-priced straight man. Others who contribute to the gayety of the performance are Ralph Rogers, "The Jazz Wop;" Bessie Baker, a headliner of promise; Clare Devine, a prima donna who really knows how to sing; Stella Powell, an adroit soubrette and May Smith regarded as an eccentric comedian of far-reaching and acknowledged skill. Two rolling entertainments will be presented. The first is called "The Perfect Man" and the other "Strike, Struck, Stricken," both the work of Ad. Singer, who is responsible for the books, lyrics and music. The "Big Review" is particularly strong in charm and beauty, harboring a chorus of twenty young women who know the value of poise, carriage and deportment. They sing and dance with bewitching grace and abandon and form an excellent background for the principals and their aides. If you are in search of the unconventional and wish to be amused after the style of the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 modern tired business man, this latest Dixon triumph is cheerfully recommended.

The Contenders By Quentin Wills, the New Orleans scraper, also known as the "Brown Panther" is very much in the limelight as a contender for Dempsey's crown. He is How Dempsey can dodge Harry much longer and retain his prestige as a champion is a mystery, as of the so called "Hopes" there is none with a record equalling Wills', who has fought nine fights in the past year, winning seven by knockouts. Wills stands head and shoulder above all other contenders. He has the physique and ability, which was clearly shown when he beat Fulton down in one round, also outboxing other big men, whom he has been able to entice in the ring with him. He has two knockouts to his credit over Bill Tate also. Of course the old color line bobs up, but Dempsey can't hide behind that very well as all the men who have held the heavy weight championship in the past thirty years, have fought colored men. So there is nothing for Mister Dempsey to do but either fight or forfeit his title. Tate stated recently at the Grand Theater, Chicago, that he was willing to meet Dempsey, as he (Tate) claims the colored heavyweight championship. In my opinion, he stands a very poor chance, for personally, next to Wills, I think Kid Norfolk is the leading heavy. Of course Tate holds a decision over Wills on a foul which only leaves them where they were before they fought. Norfolk is a good man, but I think he is too light to go up against Dempsey; but as a light heavy, he would rule supreme. The promoters are losing some good matches by failing to put him against such men as Greb, Tunney or Carpentier. A real champion should know no color line, but fight anyone who challenges. OneDayLast Week By Jay Bee Up and out of the hay about seven. Hopped into my duds. Down to feed and out into the streets to join the army of toilers. Curving officeward, I stopped at the Garnet School to adjust a difference between one of my "wards" and his teacher, Mrs. E. L. Brown, an exceedingly painstaking young lady. Of course, Mrs. Brown was right. The defendant was released upon his personal recognition. Upon reaching my service place, great surprise was registered by the entire crew, because of my early appearance. "Mi-Dear" Williams was loud in her lamentations of the fact that I was to be present at the office all day. I reported early because of an important cartoon assignment. Was informed by Willie Walker, the Managing Ed. that there had been a break into our arrangements. Pretty soft, I thought. No need for a thinking cap. Conferred with "Les" Frazier, the guy who is responsible for the exhuming of so many dog-goned hard questions that appear on the Children's Page from week to week. His daily incoming correspondence includes several huge bundles of foolish questions and answers from the kiddies and grown-ups, too. Many have applied for memberships. Last, but not least, "Les" is a product of the City of Phoney Divorce Decrees. Collided with "Squire" Murray, technician, proof-reader, fog-horn artist, my instructor, orator, efficiency expert and veteran journalist and then some. We talked of the possibilities and impossibilities of Negro dailies, and at great length we discussed the superfluous participation in politics of some of our Negro publications. Being better equipped—with longwindiness—for the debate, "Squire" won. I sold out. Went on an inspection tour of the Casino building with F. Morris M., the "Director-General." Landed upstairs, where we found "Unk" John Murray and a young army of painters and decorators miraculously converting the dance salon into a veritable palace. The color scheme is of a soft-colored orange, blending into a rich lemon, with here and there generous touches of blue and gold adding to the splendor. On all four walls are large panels of gold, with centers for rich tapestries of Old English design. The large windows are artistically draped with wine-colored velvet curtains, trimmed with gold. The floor will be like unto glass. When completed, it will be, without question, the most beautiful gathering place for terpsichoreans this side of New York. Out and around the corner to Bell's Tea Rooms for lunch. Found "Constable" Cholly Lee, the manager of the Casino any my recently accredited double, seated at one of the tables. A triple-portion of daintily-made biscuits, shedding great tears of butter were pleading with the sap to spare them, but cold-heartedly, he refused to show them any mercy. Two charming looking flaps, seated at one of the other tables were also making biscuits look sick, and between bites they found time to rake some of their cake friends over the coals. I joined the constable, closely followed by F. M. M. the "Director-General" and Elmer Snowden, the banjo-picker. The "General," somewhat under the weather, ordered hen fruit submerged in "biling" water for three minutes, toast and a pot of coffee. Friend Elmer fasted. Potato salad, lunch wafers and cocoa had a slim_chance with me. I licked 'em up in nothing. A home-like atmosphere prevails here. A victrola, healthy portions of well-cooked grub and courteous speedy waitresses are some of its outstanding features. Squared up and beat it. Hailed a Capital Traction "taxi" and set out for the Shaw Junior High School. Not much improvement noted here. The same old hand-carved desk, at which I sat in the early 1900's when the school was then known as the M Street High School, is still a fixture there. Met Luther Sadgwar, a modern drawing teacher, instructing a class of about forty pupils, representing four different grades. Some job, I'll say. An interesting group of posters, the work of pupils, adorns the walls of his studio. With ample appropriation, much good in a commercial way could be accomplished by this wide awake artist.

CO. 640 North West Street INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA noted for maple sugar and syrup, but found him out for lunch. I was courteously invited to await his return by Miss Wormley, one of his efficient assistants. Principal Smith recently succeeded Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, the present Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Being of considerable avordupois, of broad mind and exceptional executive ability, Principal Smith fits well in the chief administrative groove of the Dunbar High School. Met John Williams, a former classmate, now employed in the registrar's office. Glanced in at Miss Mireola Kirkland, dean of the girls, giving a little lecture on contact to a group of girls that were gathered around her. As a teacher, Miss Kirkland has an enviable record. Prof. Neval Thomas, recognizing me as a Tribune news-getter, extended me a cordial invitation to go as far as I liked. Prof. Thomas is an exceptionally active member of the N. A. A. C. P. and on numerous occasions, he has appeared before Congressional committees in behalf of our schools. In the armory, seven companies of girls, garbed in middies, with soldierlike precision without arms (firearms) marched to and fro in preparation for their competitive drill which according to Maj. Milton Dean, himself an old high school boy, will be held during the month of May, either on the Ellipse or at the American League Park. The Dunbar boys were warming up for a fracas with the Baltimore High, Benny Washington, the basketball authority was on the job. A basketball game without Benny is a matter of "unthinkability." Got around to Armstrong a bit tardy. Almost everybody gone. Found Principal Newman on the premises. Mr. Newman is a veteran of the World War and a teacher of high ideals. His career in our school system is lined with many brilliant achievements. The sounds of brass instruments attracted me to the library, where I found a band rehearsal in progress, under the leadership of Mr. H. B. Wallace, himself a "slip-horn" artist. Great things are expected of this organization, when they appear at the annual competitive drill. They were playing jazz and ev'rything. Back to the office to see what was up and out again. This time, headed for a belated Xmas turkey dinner was invited by an old friend. Got there safe and sound, ate ravenously, danced, made new acquaintances and departed. The closing chapter of this serial came when I romped over to a birthday party of a young lady. Of course, no one knew what anniversary was being celebrated. There were no glowing candles by which to be guided and I was not brave enough to ask. Had a "magnigolius" time. Dug out for "Home Sweet Home." Back into the hay pile.

There is a short street in the financial district of New York known as Wall Street, running from Broadway to the East River; but in common parlance Wall Street means the whole financial district covering an area of many blocks; and if any street in this section is the most active, it is not Wall Street but Broad Street, running at right angles to Wall Street. This is the old home of the delightfully interesting Curb Market. On Broad Street, too, is the greatest Stock Exchange in the world, the New York Exchange. The Stock Exchanges—market places for the purchase and sale of securities—are three in number. The New York Exchange, the Consolidated Stock Exchange, and the Curb Association. The New York Stock Exchange, the oldest, largest, and most respected of the Exchanges, had its beginning in 1792 under a buttonwood tree in front of 70 Wall Street, where the few who dealt in stocks, mostly canal and bank issues, met and transacted their business. In 1793 these meeting were held in the Tontine Coffee House and in 1817 formal quarters were taken in this building. Today the New York Stock Exchange occupies a palatial building at 10-12 Broad Street with a new annex in the process of erection. The functions of the Exchange have increased vastly since the days of the Coffee House. From its primary function of furnishing a market place for the buyer and seller it has become the backbone and bulwark of the financial system of the world. Our railroads, steamship lines, steel mills and the numerous industries that have placed the United States in its enviable position are due to a large extent to the aid extended through the Stock Exchange. "The New York Stock Exchange furthers the ability of the stock prices to reflect credit conditions of various securities by insuring a free market, while the basic principles of the organization tend to protect the investor who is seeking a safe medium for his surplus funds." The Consolidated Stock Exchange deals in the same Stocks and Bonds as does the New York Exchange but specializes in broken lots; i. e. blocks of less than one hundred shares. The Curb Association, the most picturesque of the Exchanges and which until a few months ago had as its only home the middle of Broad Street where loudly dressed youths caper in their daily routine of buying and selling, is a public market. Anyone whether a member of the Association or not may trade on the Curb and stocks listed on the Curb and unlisted are dealt in. Although through the public character of the Curb and the facilities which it offers to any and every one, many unscrupulous bankers trade and many of the less careful are victims of such lack of integrity, the Curb serves an important purpose. It supplies in the first place a market place for issues of companies in the process of organization, and in the second place a market place for issues of corporations Washington Hodson and Company Invest Securities B R St., N.

Many of the most seasoned stocks on the Big Board, as the New York Stock Exchange is familiarly called, have been graduated from the Curb. All three Exchanges are membership corporations, that is, merely legalized associations of brokers. The ownership of a "seat" on an Exchange represents membership in the Association or Exchange. Seats may be purchased only from other members and bring very high prices, the last transfer of a seat on the New York Exchange bringing to the seller $99,000.00. (To be continued) Are all stocks on the New York Exchange paying dividends? What is a "Point"?—L. H. T. Wash., D. C. Answer: No. Approximately one half of the Stocks listed on the Exchange are not dividend payers. A "Point" is a dollar or a cent according to the way in which the price of a stock is quoted. On the New York Stock Exchange a point is a dollar, but on the Curb a point is often a cent. Financial Editor Tribune: You spoke in your last issue of "Gilt Edge" Bonds. What do you mean by "Gilt Edge"?—L. O. P. Wash., D. C. Answer: Bonds are often graded according to the safety of principal and the continuity of income which they offer. Those which offer these qualities in the highest degree are called "Gilt Edge." Others are called "Middle Grade" and still others are "Speculative." Financial Editor Tribune: Has a Preferred Stockholder the right to vote at a Stockholders meeting?—E. P. J. Wash., D. C. Answer: This depends upon the By-Laws of the Corporation of which you are a Stockholder Usually the Preferred Stockholder has not the right to vote. Sometimes he has the right to vote in certain emergencies. If you will send the name of the Corporation of which you are a Stockholder, we will be glad to advise you of your rights.

SENATORS TO SUPPORT DYER BILL New York, Leading Republican Senators have promised their support for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which has already been passed by the House of Representatives, according to announcement made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Among those whose support is pledged are Senators William M. Calder of New York, Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Geo. H. Moses of New Hampshire, Howard Sutherland of West Virginia, James E. Watson of Indiana. In a letter to the Advancement Association, Senator Lodge writes: "I have always been in favor of doing everything possible to put an end to the lawless and hideous business of lynching and expect to support the anti-lynching bill when it comes before the Senate." Senator Watson writes: "I wish to say that as Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, I helped secure the incorporation of the Anti-Lynching plank in the Republican National platform. I am in favor of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which has already passed the House of Representatives and will gladly support it in the Senate." Senator Calder writes: "I shall be glad to vote for the Anti-Lynching Bill." Senator Moses says: "My purpose has been to vote for the Dyer Bill whenever it comes to the Senate," and Senator Sutherland writes: "I expect to support this measure as I am sure all law abiding citizens want to abolish lynching crimes in this country." Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, promises the Dyer Bill his "most friendly and earnest attention." The Advancement Association has called a mass meeting in the Town Hall, New York, on the night of March 1, at which the Senate is to be memorialized on the subject of the Dyer Bill. The Hon. George W. Wickersham, former attorney general of the United States and Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Bill in Congress are to be the chief speakers. 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.

Morehouse Defeats Hampton (By Charles H. Williams) Hampton, Va.—The Morehouse College quintet defeated Hampton Institute's five on Hampton's court by the score of 45 to 21. The first half of the game was closely contested. The score see-sawed back and forth until near the end of the half, when the visitors got in the lead, the half ending 16 to 12. In the second half the Morehouse team outplayed the "Seasiders" in every department of the game. They passed well, accurately, and guarded closely. They were both tall and fast. The foul shooting of both teams were good. Morehouse's victory was THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 the second over the Hampton five in the past two years.

Washington) Q.—Can blocking take place if there is no PERSONAL contact? A.—Yes. Rule 7 section 10. Blocking is impending the progress of a player who HAS NOT the ball. NOTE—An opponent has no right to DANCE in front of a player in order to impede his progress. Q.—When two players are jumping for a ball may either one of them after the whistle has been blown, jump out of position in order to gain possession of the ball after it is tapped? A.—Yes, provided he does not leave the circle until AFTER the whistle has been sounded. Q.—Several times during the Holy Name Guild - Carlisle game, the referee called the HOLY Name Guild team to play the ball from the outside several times in succession, why was that allowed? A.—Rule 10 section 1. When the ball is caused to go out of bounds it is so declared by the referee and is awarded to an OPPONENT of the team causing it to go out of bounds. Q.—How long may a player hold the ball out of bounds, before playing it? A.—Five seconds. If the ball is held longer it is then awarded to the opposite side. Q.—Why did the referee refuse to allow a goal made by Kenner of the Holy Name Guild team , on Feblo? A.—Prior to the beginning of the game the referee requested the captains to mutually agree upon GROUND RULES (Rules not mentioned in the rules book). They did to the following effect. That when the ball strikes any part of the house over head it shall IMMEDIATELY be come DEAD and is to be put in play at the center of the court. The ball tossed by Kenner SCRAPED the under part of the beam and IM-MEDIAELY became dead, hence, no goal was allowed. Dunbar Pulls Surprise Ties High School Series in Extra Time Game By far the keenest contested game seen on local courts this season was witnessed Monday afternoon when Dunbar on its home court won the second game and tied with Armstrong the High School series count. So evenly matched were the teams that an extra 5-minute period was necessary to reach a decision. The score at end of the half stood in Armstrong's favor 11 to 8, 20 to 20 at the end of the 40-minute period with the final score of 24 to 22. Goldsby's two baskets in the extra period made him the hero, but Drew, Coates, Roberts and Meroney played cleverly for the winners. Turner and Harris were the best performers for Armstrong. The absence of Blackwell and Trigg was keenly felt by the Manual Trainers. Both teams were extremely weak at foul throwing only 2 out of 16 being registered. Dunbar PosiMeroney .....L tion "Tech"F. .....Meddleton Goldsby R.F. Berry Coates Lter Harris Drew CenG. Branson Roberts R.G.

StorerBeats Armstrong A fast quint in Storer College invaded the city Thursday and handed the Armstrong five its second defeat of the week. The locals made a determined bid but were unable to hold Taylor the visitors flashy forward and were defeated 37 to 30. The individual efforts of Taylor accounted for 23 points which constituted 9 field goals and 5 fouls. This exhibition was the greatest seen in the District this season. *The work of Berry of Tech was also spectacular. WASHINGTON ATHLETICS GIVEN SMOKER The Washington Athletic Club gave a smoker last Sunday, February 19 to the players of last season's team, which won the District Championship. There was plenty to eat, drink and smoke. Short addresses were made by Mgr. Toliver, T. Paine, and Capt. Fells. Mr. Mahoney and "Pink" Gardner also were present and gave the boys something good to feed on. Plans were made for the coming season. Y. W. C. A. Evens Up On January 2nd the girls of the Baltimore Y. W. C A basketball team played the girls from Washington. Baltimore proved its worth by winning the game by a score of 31 to 4. This however does not say that Baltimore has a better team, for on February 17th the two teams met again on the Phyllis Wheatley court in Washington. This time the Washington girls were the victors; the score being 19 to 11. The line-up was as follows: The substitutes for Washington were, Adelaide Brown, V. Welch, Loretta Fleming, V. Johnson and Mary Steward. The Girl Reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Corps under Mrs. M. T. Thompson, will have charge of the Vespers on Sunday at 4 o'clock. They will give a dramatization of the "Ten Virgins." The public is invited. ALEXANDRIANS ARE PREPARED FOR BASEBALL The Lafayettes of Alexandria expect to "crush" all local teams in the coming season. Their first and second base combination cannot be beaten. Clarence Greene, who holds down the initial sack, and Perry Felton, "the man who never fails to tag 'em,' play together like a bit of clock work. Watch these men in the coming season. POTOMAC INVESTMENT COMPANY GIVES BANQUET The first annual smoker of the Potomac Investment Company was held Thursday night, the 16th, at which time several prominent men spoke and a number of shares of stock were distributed.

He spoke at length on Colored men entering business and among other things said: "The day has come when we must break away from established lines of jobs and enter fields where the needs and the demands of the people require business." Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Dean of Commerce and Finance of Howard University spoke on the line of patience and character, and recited many instances where both had won success in the business world. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, said that "confidence in each other and their own plans were necessary for the success of the Potomac Investment Company." Prof. C. M. Thomas, of the Armstrong High School, reviewed the economic condition of the colored people of this city, saying that the Potomac Investment Company had an excellent opportunity to render a great service in helping to relieve the congested housing condition.

M., and continue to 12:00; resuming class after lunch, they remain in until 5:30 P. M. But, because of the volume and nature of the work, students often have to remain at their work until mid-night and longer. It is further pointed out that these students have to purchase equipment to the amount of $60, which they have to use in their work. After classes are over, they must carefully gather up and put away all of these delicate instruments, which require time and care.

A curious fascination about the title of the book gripped her when she halted before a long row of shelved books in Dayton's Bookstore. Perhaps a passing shower, which left sunshine and a rainbow in its wake, had something to do with it . . . "Love Bared." It seemed to hold a hundred meanings to Clintine Sashonn. It couldn't be just an expression of love. There was something deeper and of more vital significance to earthly mortals. This volume might help solve some of the problems in her own life?—or anything that might happen to one of her next door neighbors? Eagerly she requested the book. Yes, she would like to see love bared to the extent of definite proportions, because she was more than a little affected by it. Woman-like—twenty-three—she assayed to read the foreword then the end of the book before reading it thro' from the first chapter. She was surprised at the terseness of the foreword and more so at its termination—"If the reader scans the last paragraph prior to reading the volume, he or she will lose the import of the entire story?" A slight tremor ran over her at the thought, when she started out of the store intent upon reading the last paragraph. Foolishness! She wasn't superstitious. Yet, with an odd feeling she turned to the back of the book. Singularly enough a familiar voice arrested her attention. "Hello! Miss Sashonn," trebled the voice in a tone that drolled like clinking gold. Clintine glanced back in quick fright; then slowly recovered her self composure. There was nothing startling in the appearance of the young man who had spoken nor had she any fear of him. Her momentary perturbation existed because of the almost uncanny coindence of being interrupted when she had decided to read the final paragraph. "How are you, Mr. Cameron?" she returned simply, shutting the book with a snap. She could never love him, though he was a very likable chap in many ways. "Quite well; thanks," he made answer. "You've been fastidiously chaperoned, Clintine; and you're in love." his eye caught the title of the book. Her eyes flashed almost scornfully an instant, then she spoke. "I suppose I am. But it's wonderful!" "In love with whom?" he ventured lightly, watching a generous tint of color mount her dull ivory cheeks. She was unusually fascinating today, he decided, stepping closer as they threaded their way along the peopled streets. "Philip Loraine," she*told him, with a proud lift of her head. Eugene Cameron stared absently at the sidewalk, his amazement well controlled. "What's the matter?" asked Clintine troubled. "Do you know him?" "Yes. I do." was all he said. The queerness of his tone dwelt with her long after they had parted. At home she began reading the story, "Bared Love." Alice, the book girl, was madly in love. She had married a wealthy but indifferent man of thirty. She was carrying on a flirtation to win back his affections. Clintine endeavored to steal a march on that last paragraph when the doorbell rang. Provoked she went to the door. Her irritation was magnified when she met Philip Loraine who informed her he would be out of town for the evening on business—he had a train to catch in half an hour. She slammed the door at his departure. He wasn't attentive as he should be but once he did tell her she was the most bewitching girl in town. Still, she wanted real love like she gave him. Why didn't his arms passionately encircle her as she always hoped they would, instead of staying frozen to his sides? His smile was half inviting, half deprécatory. Why didn't he conjure up sweet endearments to pour into her ear in moonlight shadows? Many whys rankled in her breast as her mother came in—she always confided her trouble to mother. A week went by in which she didn't see Philip Loraine—a week of dreadful anxiety. What could be wrong? Finally she searched the directory till she found his telephone number, and called it. O "Hello!" came a lady's voice over the wire. "Is Mr. Loraine at home?" Clintine interrogated in breathless hope and suspense. "If so, may I speak to him? "He's not in. Is it very important business? "I haven't seen him for a week," lamented Clintine. "And—we're engaged—too!" "Engaged to my husband?" came back the excited voice. "You dirty In chagrined horror Clintine dropped the receiver on the hook. Philip never intimated that he was married! So, that's why Eugene Cameron acted odd upon hearing the name of Loraine. But, how could he be married? she asked blankly of no one, falling upon a couch and sobbing convulsively. Woefully despondent she sought consolation from her book —perhaps her life in many respects was similar to Alice's. Flirtations of Alice Kalone, the book girl, failed to get attention from her husband; but on several occasions she had triumphantly rescued him from gay dances and parties. Realizing the futility of her methods, she became fiendishly desperate over the thought of really losing her husband. Clintine's affair was so much like the book girl's, no doubt the last paragraph would give her a happy solution to all her difficulties, so she reasoned. It would not hurt to take one little look. When she turned to the fateful passage, she uttered a smothered scream! Ere she could read a line, a faint tapping sounded against the library window. What was that? Trying to be calm, she shifted her position till she could see the window. There silhouetted against the windowpane was the face of Philip Loraine midst the evening dusk. Why wasn't mother here? In actual fear of the final paragraph she threw the volume into the fireplace of flaming embers then approached and raised the window uncertainly. "What are you doing here, Philip?" she queried in puzzlement. "We're going away, sweetheart," he told her in a whisper. "Hurry, and get your things ready to travel. I came home at the time you were phoning to——the other girl. She and I are not married. But, you and I will be tomorrow." Clintine stood looking out among the trees, very much undecided. Could she still believe in him? Had she been able to look around the corner of the house, she would have seen another figure lurking among the shadows. The man stood quite still and listened. Hastily Clintine packed and accompanied Philip to the depot. Why couldn't she go away with whom she chose? Philip was more than life itself to her—her dream man. If he was married, she couldn't help loving him. How could she draw back when the direction of love was fixed beyond her power. The two were halted as they were about to board a train. "You'd best not take Miss Sashonn with you," sternly spoke Eugene Cameron, pulling the latter by the sleeve. "Your wife might possibly object. I'll take the young lady home." Utterly beaten and crestfallen, Loraine disappeared down the train platform. "I could scarcely believe that of you, Miss Sashonn!" remarked Eugene when they arrived at her door. "Goodnight." "I didn't know," was her barely audible reply. The next day Clintine purchased another copy of the book she had destroyed; yet, she was afraid to read the last paragraph—something happened whenever she attempted it. Again opening the volume she wondered if Loraine was really like the husband of Alice. Thro' the incontrollable force of love she deemed it her right to talk the situation over with Philip. Neglected, the book tumbled to the floor. At eight o'clock she met Philip leaving his home; she shadowed him because she dismissed her with a harsh word and hurried off. She stopped outside a cabaret when he went within. Then a footman called him to the door for her. Nervously she demanded an explanation. What if he secorned her? She winced at the thought. "Beat it, Clintine!" growled Philip in drunken abandon. "I'm now entertaining some of my classy friends." "Don't you care anymore, Philip?" There was depth of pathos in Clintine's voice—a miserable collection of fear and agony. "My love is free—free to anybody but you," he answered in reckless derision. Suddenly Clintine's head swam, as she reeled and stumbled off down the street. Brimming tears overflowed her eyes in self-pity. "What cruel man devised torture?" she groaned aloud to herself. Maybe a bright solution to everything unhappy lay in the wisdom of the final phrase in her book? Why not investigate? At home she took up her reading where she discontinued. . . In a frenzy of disconnected thought, Alice selected a small revolver from beneath her garter, when her husband declared he had cast her aside. "Marriage is binding till death makes a separation, Mr. Kalone!" she contended in wild exasperation. "Your kisses are stone to my affection. Move on!" Three times her pistol rang out and her husband fell. Standing over his lifeless body, she wailed: "Why couldn't you behave? My poor darling! Did I kill you? . . . It strange how different I see—" . . . Clintine broke FROE'S CONFIRMATION The appointment of President Harding, and the confirmation by the Senate of Arthur C. Froe of West Virginia, as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, will meet the general approval of the Colored people of the country. Of course, there will be a few, no doubt, who play the "If I can't have it, you shant," game that will be disappointed. But that will be only a few and will be o fthat class who wield but a very little influence with the race. We-suspect that as soon as "Link" Johnson heard of the appointment of Mr. Froe to the office that caused him so many "spells of high blood pressure" and "nervous break downs," was the first to greet him and shed a few crocodile tears, and said, "I secured your appointment." We are quite sure that he had the gall to do so provided he was able to walk after he heard the news. The speed with which the Senate confirmed Froe's appointment, shows that the failure of "Link" was not a matter of race prejudice, but it was because the man was unfit for the place. So far as the race is concerned, we should be glad that Mr. Froe received the confirmation for the office as Recorder of Deeds and not Henry Lincoln Johnson. Mr. Froe has a reputation for honesty and integrity, while Link Johnson has neither, according to our way of thinking. We are not taking advantage of this opportunity to "knock" Link, because so far as we know, he is not a candidate for any other appointment, and we hope he will not be. He ought to give his friends a little rest from the embarrassing position in which they have been placed trying to defend him. We would suggest to Mr. Johnson, to make good his boast that he was able to make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer. If he will do that and quit begging for a job at Washington, and quit "sponging" on his friends, perhaps he will be able to redeem himself in the eyes of some. But if he doesn't, then he should be condemned all the more. —St. Louis Argus Bowie Receives Another Sentence William N. Bowie who has already received sentences amounting to 8 years, received another sentence recently from Chief Justice McCoy for participation in the robbery of the store of Benoni W. Willett. In addition to Bowie's sentence which was 23 months, Richard Williams received a sentence of 17 months and Benjomin Grice, Jr., received a sentence of 4 years. off from sheer nervous tension. She must have an understanding with Philip. There was no ending the book till she learned what Philip intended to do. Would she do as the book girl had done? Thirteen nights later the phone rang; Eugene Cameron told her that Philip was very sick with pneumonia, contracted from an all-night's exposure in sitting on a neighbor's doorstep. He was found half-frozen after an evening's revelry. Every day Clintine boldly phoned to Philip's wife to know how the patient was mending; even sent flowers. Finally the crisis came. Together with Eugene she visited the sick man. On leaving she resolved: "If Philip dies, I'll kill myself." Eugene was astounded by such an outbreak. "You're talking foolish, Clintine." He tried to soothe her. The day Philip Loraine died, Eugene rushed to the Sashonn home to prevent Clintine from doing herself bodily harm. Would he be in time? When he arrived she was very calm. "I learned a great truth from Alice, the book girl, when I read the last paragraph of Bared Love. Here I quote Alice: "Now I know what love really is, Mr. Kalone. If I could bring you back to life, I'd do it. Only your cold blood made me see that love is an obsession—concentrated imagination likened unto a strong lensed searchlight focused here or there, according to the operator's will. I could have focused my love elsewhere and ignored your actions. You're too late, Alice.' . . . " "That was the last paragraph, Eugene." Clintine's eyes shone anew, as something snapped within her brain, releasing untold weight from her mind. Gladly she thought of her new future and shyly took Eugene's limp hand in her own.

Be kind to the old as well as the young. JANNIE A. EDWARDS Winter Joys I lay and thought to myself one day. When snug in my feathery bed I lay. Of the winter joys For all good girls and boys. We hear the sleigh bells ring. With a merry ting-a-ling. The children are all happy and gay For it had snowed that day. The snow drifted up so very high It looked as if it touched the sky. And mother said, "Stay in today. And mother always has her way. MARTHA JACKSON (Age 12) My dear Editor: I am again submitting answers to the questions and puzzles. I was indeed glad to see my name as having won second prize in the Thrift Contest. My teacher in history, Mr. H. Douglass is a great exponent in teaching his classes about our race and its culture and need. Mr. Montgomery is my section teacher. *HENRY S. MORRIS (Age 14) Dear Editor: For many weeks I have been reading the Children's Page which I think very interesting. I have decided to join the competitions for the title of "Honor Child," which I sincerely hope to win by submitting the answers to the puzzles and history. I attend Dunbar in 1-B. My address is 1319 Q Street, N. W. COLLINS GEORGE (Age ?) THRIFT Thrift Story, 2nd Prize) January 17, to the 24, 1922, was selected as National Thrift Week in eighty American cities. Benjamin Franklin, the greatest practiser of thrift was born on January 17. Of the virtues possessed by Franklin, none is more worthy of emulation by us than thrift. Thrift was the practice which enabled Franklin to start as a tramp printer and become one of the wealthiest men of his time. One writer says that thrift is vision. Thrift does not mean hiding or hoarding money but means the wise use of your money and investing in sound investments which will help you to become wealthy like Franklin. To spend wisely and thriftily is an important factor in thrift as well as saving wisely. Thrift is the stuff of which sturdy independence is made and a ladder which leads to happiness, wealth, prosperity, self respect and an independent manhood. A wise saying which should be heeded by us all is, take care of your pennies now and they will take care of you later. The person who saves money, calculates that they will get more satisfaction in the long run than spending it as it is earned. Every boy and girl, man and woman should save. A good rule to learn and practice is, "I will make careful use of my time and money and the wisest possible use of it, always keeping the future in mind." It is always well to be prepared for a rainy day. He who does not look after his money will some day be looked after by some one else; In this country last year 8,500,000 people took out insurance policies which is another form of correct thrift. In Washington, D. C., there was a boy named George Wise. Now George was a boy who was very careful with his pennies and he did not spend them foolishly. George's parents were very poor but worked very hard to give him things he needed. As years passed, George grew in age and in wiseness. At fourteen years old he had saved fifteen dollars, which was a very large sum for a boy to have saved who was not working. At twenty-one years old George had saved fifty dollars; as he was working now he could afford to save more money. When George became 35 years old he had money in the bank, a pretty wife and two children, a boy named George Jr., and a girl named Celeste. So my friends I hope I have illustrated to you how thrift and saving helps one to be prosperous, happy and wealthy. *HENRY S. MORRIS.

I keep the questions and answers of the Negro History, also "The Negro Encyclopedia" the articles of Dunbar, and some of the other interesting items. HORTENSE MIMS (Age 14) DO YOU DO YOUR SHARE? Have you ever noticed a friend of yours shrug his shoulders when mother or father tell him or ask him to do some task? Do you pout, frown, or act meanly when your parents ask you to do something? If so—do you realize that any task you are asked to perform is for your benefit in a large degree? Suppose mother says, "Wash the dishes" or "Bring in a hod of coal"; isn't it true that you dirtied some of the dishes and if "you" fail to wash them someone else will have to do it. If you are being warmed by the fire or if you are eating the food cooked over the fire, isn't a duty to yourself and for yourself, more than a favor to mother, to bring in a bit of coal. Learn to do. Learn to earn the things you enjoy. Have you noticed a certain class of boys, youths, and men, who live on the corners—who are always without money—who have no home—who know not where the next meal is coming from? Those frail, weak make-shifts of humanity started life by not wanting to help earn their enjoyments. They frowned and pouted when mother wanted a task done. It grew into them in with age, and now when they should be doing tasks for themselves—thinking of owning homes, or having businesses that will care for them in their old age, these failures turn out to be bent, broken, people depending on relatives, friends, or the community for support. Next time mother or father asks you to do a task, stop what you may be doing and perform the task at once; for in so doing you will cause a song to rise in the hearts of your parents, you will be helping to earn your living, and you will be keeping God's fifth commandment. POST CARD MESSAGE My dear Mr. Frazier: I am too large to be one of the little folks but not too old to be able to join in with the young folks in enjoying your Children's Page, which is one of the most interesting features of a most splendid paper. I am sending you my answer to Hidden Negro Notables and I assure you I had to put on my thinking cap in some instances and look up Negro history in others. The Children's Page is not only a pleasure to me but it is of educational value also. I shall watch for The Tribune with the "rest of the children" to see how many of my answers are correct. With all good wishes, I am, an interested reader. MRS. R. W. THOMPSON. SCHOOL CHILDREN'S FRIEND SCHOOL CHILDREN'S FRIEND Bobby, a pet cat at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Barrett, 507 S. Columbus St. is being kept in the back part of the house. Before the weather was cold, Bobby had the front room of the house as his play- room and the'children going back and forth from school would call and he would jump up in the window to greet them. Mrs. Barrett sends this message to Bobby's friends: "Bobby your little friend Is properly housed until winter end, I know you miss him when you call As he'd bound to the window without a fall." I hope all of the little readers who have pets of any sort will write concerning them as we have a Pet's Club. NEGRO LITERATURE FOR NEGRO PUPILS Every teacher in a colored school is a missionary. More than the mere instilling of so much knowledge in the heads of the pupils must he or she teach many other things, character through pride of race being one of the greatest. For the youth who is proud of his race will endeavor to live up to its traditions, and will hesitate to do mean things lest they sully the escutcheon. It is well for Negro children to know that the delightful fables of Aesop are the satires of a black slave, and that the author of the incomparable "Three Musketeers," which rejoices the swashbuckling instincts of the adolescent, was of Negro descent. There are exquisite little nature lyrics, particularly snow scenes, by Pushkin (obtainable in translation); and it would make the young chests swell with pride to know that these are the work of one of the greatest of Russian poets—an acknowledged Negro. And the winged words of Booker Washington and Frederick Douglass! The biographies of those who have accomplished great things in the face of heavy odds! The girl, Phyllis, and the lad, Paul! How much finer for the Negro boy and girl to know of these lives, and of the work they did; to read the burning, living words that are the work of their own blood and kin; to feel that the lowly ones of the cabins in the country, or the tenements and alleys in the city, may yet give to the world some gift, albeit small, that will inspire and ennoble countless dark-faced children struggling up towards the light. Assuredly we teach our boys and girls, not only their own history and literature, but works by their own authors. —ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON, in the Southern Workman ARE YOU JOINING THE T. P. C. C.? We are glad so many are responding to the call of the T. P. C. C. You intend to join later on—so why not now? Remember, there is a peck of fun and jollity for the members of the T. P. C. C. WINTER King Winter with his icy breath Now visits us again, And over streams and over brooks Signs of his flight remain. He brings all joy to girls and boys As the snow so white and deep Comes down from cloudy sky you know To cover the flowers which sleep. Out on the hills gay laughter 's heard As—zing! down hills sleds fly: Merry shouts ring out as snowballs fall about On the sleighers as they pass by. Then when it is growing late And the parties scatter to and fro To where bright fires and fruits galore Await them when home they go. ALEASWOOODS (Age 13) DID YOU KNOW The Philippine Constabulary Band under the leadership of Major Loving, an American Negro, has been highly complimented by Viscount North-cliffe, eminent author and publisher of England. The first vessel to make the return voyage across the Pacific from the West Indies to Mexico was steered by a Negro pilot in 1565. John E. Matzelinger, a Negro, is the inventor of the first machine that performed automatically all the operations involved in attaching soles to shoes. More than 1800 slaves were owned by five Negroes before the Civil War. There are over 385 Negroes running candy and confectionary stores in the United States. There are over 735 general stores owned by colored people. J. D. D. The Poets' Corner THE JOLLY SLEIGHING PARTY Laugh ha-ha, girls; call, boys, call, Shout your loudest one and all, Leap and spring, and dance- and sing, Make the merry-sleigh-bells ring, For we're a-riding, gliding o'er the snow, Voices n-ringing, singing as we go: Rolic, fricol, all so hearty, On a jolly sleighing party. Bells ring jingle, jangle, jingle, Fingers tingle, tangle, tingle. For Jack's a-biting, biting ear and nose. And he's a nipping ev'rybody's toes; Jest and joke and laugh most hearty On a jolly sleighing party. Boys and girls and horse and sleigh Full of snow but just as gay;— Gee-up! Whoa up! Let her go,— Cold hands, cold feet,—oh, the snow! But now I hear a sound of kiss, kiss, kiss, A tiny laugh, for it's bliss, bliss, bliss: Laugh and joke and jest most hearty On a jolly sleighing party. MAE SMITH-JOHNSON Note: This poem was printed in this section last month. It is of such rare quality, and it was so full of typographical errors that we think it no more than just to the author to present it in its perfect form. THE WAY OF SUCCESS If you desire the best in life This holds forever true: Give to the world the best you have; The best comes back to you. Make purity your highest aim; Never cease to fight, But seek the path of rectitude; Be proud to do the right. No stream can ever higher flow Than its supplying fount; No race can rise to higher plains Than those its women mount. The higher one ascends the scale Of intellectual skill, He should be able to subdue His passion and his will. If we would have true followers, Our leadership must be An enemy to sin and lust And all impurity. We need not hope to reach the top, Or scale the lofty crags, So long as we take costly dress * To cover filthly rags. GEORGE W. McCORKLE THE PAPER I MISSED I certainly missed the Tribune As the heavy snow-flakes fell: Missed seeing it's weekly cartoons And the comical joke it tells. Missed solving the weekly puzzles Which appear on the Children's Page, (I would only use a muzzle If I'd have to tell my age.) I'm only an interested reader And not a child at all Still I learn of our colored leaders Thru the Tribune's weekly call. I'd like to have this paper Each week in this New Year To read the interesting news, That it's columns always bear. (Mrs.) MINNIE JORDAN Brentwood, Md. This bit of verse comes from one of our readers who did not receive her paper the Saturday of the storm. (A Sonnet) PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR was the first man of his race To gain upon this earthly sphere poetic fame; For by his works the world has come to know his name For he has made it worthy of a brilliant place, Time will not efface. What DUNBAR has achieved, inspired us all to aim For that which is worth while, for each one in Life's game, Does have an opportunity to play the Ace. Then let our race give to the world its very best, For the ALMIGHTY GOD has willed that it be done. And greater deeds than those already now achieved, Shall designate our greatness in this Life's contest. No task how arduous is it our lot to shun, For we are greater than we have as yet conceived.

This, however was THE TRIBUNE believes that a McKinley School over to Colocation is ideal and it could exist of Garnett, Patterson and other now over-crowded. This change school situation in this section. The appropriation for the school could then be used, along with to build an addition to Armstrong its present needs, as well as the bar High; thus this addition to take care of the needs of the group. Along with this improvement could be built behind Dunbar for all the high schools' use; the high school group, which is ongoing of the work in these schools. In 1912 the appropriations of a like manner by a Republican the country should be appraised is understood to have gone out an appropriation of $550,000 which if granted would give the extensions and a pitiful $171,000 schools. Armstrong Manual Tred school in the whole systemdents; now has 1013. This is the appropriation for an additic cut out. No one has been able that needs relief more than a was cut off of the list. The public school situation in the District of Columbia is serious and every friend of education should rally to the support of the assistant superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, in his efforts to secure for the colored schools a just proportion of the appropriations for grounds and buildings. Armstrong, Phillips, Stevens and Lovejoy schools are sadly in need of more grounds and buildings and Dunbar needs both ground and a stadium. The Board of Education asked for an appropriation for each of these items. The Dawes Bureau cut out the Armstrong, Dunbar and Stevens items; cutting the Board's estimate for buildings and grounds from $916,500 to $451,000. The House Committee on appropriations allowed $1,540,000 for white schools, but cut the amount still further for the colored schools allowing $171,000 or ten per cent of the total appropriation for buildings and grounds. This money to be used for expansions in the graded schools only. It has been suggested that the McKinley Manual Training School, at Rhode Island Ave. and 7th St. be turned over to Armstrong. This, however would not help the situation any. THE TRIBUNE believes that a solution would be to turn the McKinley School over to Colored as a graded school. Its location is ideal and it could easily accommodate the overflow of Garnett, Patterson and others in this section, which are now over-crowded. This change would take care of the graded school situation in this section for several years. The appropriation for the expansion of the graded schools could then be used, along with an additional appropriation, to build an addition to Armstrong, which would take care of its present needs, as well as the business department of Dunbar High; thus this addition to the Armstrong building would take care of the needs of the three schools in the high school group. Along with this improvement, the much needed Stadium could be built behind Dunbar High, making it convenient for all the high schools' use; thereby keeping intact the present high school group, which is essential to the efficient carrying on of the work in these schools. In 1912 the appropriations for colored schools were cut in a like manner by a Republican Congress. Colored voters over the country should be apprised of these facts. The President is understood to have gone out of his official way to ask for an appropriation of $550,000 for the Western High School which if granted would give the white schools $2,090,000 for extensions and a pitiful $171,000 for buildings for colored schools. Armstrong Manual Training School the most crowded school in the whole system, built to accommodate 350 students; now has 1013. This is three times its capacity. Yet the appropriation for an addition to this school is completely cut out. No one has been able to find out just why the school that needs relief more than any other in the whole system was cut off of the list. REV. TAYLOR'S TRIAL TUESDAY (Continued from page 4) come to Florida Avenue Baptist Church, that we were a set of fighters and that he had a good church which was loth to let him go and even offered him more money than we were able to give him. But, he came to us. What do you think of him in this enlightened day? No one wants to rule, but taxation without representation did not work in Colonial days and does not set too well now. When you fail to listen to reason, you ought not to complain of the consequence. But however, we do; because we too, were warned not to take him (Rev. Taylor). I can say without fear of contradiction that the present trouble of our church, which has reached the courts, is due to the pastor's efforts to do his will. You know a crime committed after premeditation is considered in a different light from one done on the spur of the moment. Our present trouble was premeditated on the part of our pastor. On one occasion just after the rally, he remarked from the pulpit, that he was ready for anything now, police, court or anything else. Rev. Taylor has ruled with an iron hand, caring nothing for the wishes or rights of others. When his son, Choirister of the choir, and another member of the choir had trouble and passed blows in the church, the chairman of the Deacon Board with other Deacons, asked the choister to remain out of the choir until they could have a talk with him. He acquiesced and took his seat in the audience, but the pastor said: "If you don't let him go in, I won't preach," and he didn't preach, but called the choirister to the choir over the protest of the Deacons and offered no apology for his action and termed all who did not like it, fighters. This is just one instance where the 80 His Will be Done TON TRIBUNE O WEEKLY THE PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Street, N. W. BUTTON, D. C.

Yet tion to this school is completely to find out just why the school many other in the whole system rule or ruin policy comes in. When the rally was over and everybody was happy, we started immediately to plan for the anniversary and mortgage burning. Rev. Taylor stated that he was not going to have anything to do with the anniversary, except to get the preachers. We were to have a ten-night service, ending with the mortgage burning and banquet or reception. Comimttees were appointed and activities began in earnest. Hush! what is the trouble now? Pastor interferes with the printing and the committee is censured for not having program as ordered. Pastor goes back to the printer and gets another set, not much better than the first, but a child's name is left off who was to have burned the mortgage? When questioned about the name, Rev. Taylor said the printer left it off for some reason, he did not know why. The printer said that Rev. Taylor removed the child's name after it was all ready to print. Interference with the printing threw a damper on the anniversary and the ten-nights' services brought not more than $50.00. Because the mother of the child did not like Rev. Taylor's interfering with the name and so expressed herself to him, he decided she should not make the welcome address as had been previously arranged, and consequently crossed out the name of this mother and handed the program to Rev. N. W. D. Norman, who was master of ceremonies. Deacon James Langhorne was chairman of the committee. Rev. Taylor said nothing to him concerning the program or the changing of it. Brother Langhorne did not like this action and spoke in that mild genteel manner characteristic of him—"We will have the welcome address." This enraged the pastor and he straightway decided to get rid of Brother Langhorne. Unmindful of the fact that this man had made many great sacrifices for him, but because he had dared to exert his authority as chairman of the Deacon's Board and THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE program committee, the pastor decided he must go. And he went. Bro. Langorne's friends did not turn on him for Rev. Taylor. The men and women of Excelsior Circle did not forget him as their leader. Under his leadership, there was no confusion, no strife, or ill will. In concluding, I want to remind the public of the fact that Rev. Taylor has lead so well until he has succeeded in turning bosom friends to bitter foes, for none were better friends than Burke, Jackson and Bush. Now look at the fruits of his leading. Rev. Taylor is styled a "Christian Gentleman." General Public, stop your ears that you may not hear gossip and forget disgusting rumors of the past. If he wills it, he leaves nothing undone to prevent its execution. He compelled his daughter, little Blanche, to play for the Sunday School. The School did not want her and she did not want to play. But she stayed there and died, a martyr to his will. But after all, there is a destiny that shapes our ends. WOMEN OF FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH who do not belong to the Ladies Aid D. FLORINNE D.

ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS All Stars Ready to Start Practice The All Star baseball club have moved into new quarters at the corner of Pitt and Gibbon Sts. The club room is nicely appointed and is open to visitors every night. The team will be managed this season by Henry Byrd and William H. Rose is captain. Several of the best players on the Piedmont team of last season have joined the Stars, among them being "Bud" Brown, Brodus Beckham, "Old Folks," Reynolds and Smith. Even at this early date the final games of the season to be played for the city championship are being looked forward to. In this event the Stars will put more energy into the contest because of a strong desire to be victors over their old rivals the Lafayettes who have obtained the services of "comet" Jones, and Billy Johnson, the strong All Star battery for several past seasons. It is left to be seen just what showing Johnson can make as his crippled condition may have left him minus some of his last year's cleverness.
