William A. Taylor, alleged deposed pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, was argued before Mr. Justice Bailey last Tuesday afternoon After hearing arguments in the case, Justice Bailey ordered the counsel to draw up the following order, which was signed by Justice Bailey, Thursday morning. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Holding an Equity Court Equity No. 39771 M. M. Peace, et al., Plaintiffs vs. William A. Taylor, et al, Defendants This cause came on to be heard upon the bill of complaint, the rule to show cause issued thereon, the answer of the defendants filed thereto, the affidavits of the respective parties and after arguments of counsel, it is thereupon, this 2nd day of March A. D. 1922, ORDERED as follows: (1) That the rule to show cause issued herein, be, and the same is hereby discharged without prejudice. (2) That this cause be, and the same is hereby referred to the Auditor of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, to take testimony and report his finidigis to this Court as to the following: (a) Who are the regularly authorized trustees of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church? (b) Who are the regularly authorized deacons of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church? (c) Who are the regular bona fide members of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church? (d) Was the defendant, William A. Taylor, ousted from the pastorate of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church by a majority vote of the members of the said church meeting at the regular business meeting of the said church, held on the regular business meeting night of the said church held on the sixteenth day of the month of December A. D. 1921? By the Court: THOMAS J. BAILEY, Justice Very misleading statements appeared in the daily papers Wednesday, stating that the case had been won by Rev. Taylor. The same was not true in any sense. The affairs of the church remain the same as they were before the trial and will remain the same until the Auditor of the Supreme Court reports to the court his findings. After the Auditor's report has been made, then the two sides will again go in court to argue for and against the issuing of a temporary restraining order. The court stated that a special date will be set for the trial immediately after the Auditor reports back. Attorney's Thos. L. Jones, Royal Hughes and Geo. Hayes, urged upon the court the necessity of stepping in and closing the church until its affairs could be straightened out, but Justice Bailey ruled that he would not pass on that question until the Auditor has handed in his report. A monster crowd gathered at the court house last Tuesday to try to get in the court room, which was very small. The crowd began to gather as early as 11 o'clock. By 12 o'clock the crowd was so large that bailiffs (Continued to Page 8) Published Weekly STUDENT STRIKE OVER AT HOWARD STUDENT STRIKE OVER AT HOWARD Chapel Attendance Made Voluntary For All By Faculty The protest or strike which was started last Thursday Morning by students of the Engineering and Architectural Department of Howard University, terminated Saturday afternoon after a lengthy faculty meeting. At the close of the faculty meeting a statement was issued to the effect that pending action by the Trustee Board, attendance at all chapel service will be voluntary and students suspended for non-attendance at chapel will be reinstated. The action of the faculty in making chapel attendance voluntary for the whole university was surprising to the student body as the fight was started only by the students in the departments of Engineering and Architecture. All classes were resumed in these departments as well as in the department of Domestic Art, on Monday. The fight for voluntary chapel attendance has been a long one and has resulted in many conflicts on the campus. However, that the present system is unfair, is beyond a doubt. A Tribune reporter found that some students have not attended chapel at all during the year and have a clean record in the office, while others who have attended have been marked as absent. It was further pointed out that if all the students on the hill would attend chapel, they could not get in, because the auditorium can hold only about 500 people. The board of trustees is expected to act on the matter at an early date. CHI DELTA MU HELD SUG CESSEFUL CONVENTION The Annual convention of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity was held in this city last week, with the opening session in the Chapel of Howard University, Thursday. President Durkee, of the University addressed the fraternity on "Fraternalism." Dr. E. C. Terry, one of the founders of the Chi Delta Mu, addressed the session on, "For What the Fraternity Stands."

From nine p.m. Friday until two a.m. Saturday, a formal reception was held at the Murray Casino, with Dr. Simeon L. Carson as the honored guest. Dr. R. C. Harrison, of Kimball, W. Va., was made an honorary member of the fraternity. The local chapter was represented by Drs. E. C. Terry, E. L. Williams, Chas. Fisher, and Messrs. O. L. Ballard and M. E. Ross. Delegates from Boston, New York City, Newark, N. J., Baltimore, Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo., were present.

THEATRE ANDREW THOMAS GIVES STATEMENT Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, who for many years was lessee of the Howard Theater, which has been acquired by the Dudley-Murray Corporation, upon his retirement from that theater Thursday, issued a statement to the public. Mr. Thomas' statement is as follows: To my many friends and the public: After ten years of faithful service endeavoring to give the amusement public of Washington the best available attractions, and having enjoyed your confidence and support throughout a large part of this time, I find the theatrical situation as it affects our people in Washington at this time is such that I am unable to cope with the situation. After careful consideration of a number of flattering offers to me, by white interests, in view of my many assurances to my patrons and the public that under no stress of circumstances, or any other conditions would I allow the Howard Theatre, (Washington's first Playhouse for our people) to get into the hands of white interests, I have concluded that the best interests of myself, the house, and the race can be served by the management of the Howard Theater (Continued on page 8) Office: 920 U St., N. W. F. MORRIS MURRAY, Secretary (Continued on page 8) Circulation Books Open To All Hands NEEDED SCHOOL ITEMS RESTORED Favorable Action Taken By Senate Appropriations Committee NEW BUILDINGS ASSURED Commissioners Ordered To Contract For Armstrong Addition The District appropriation bill for the fiscal year ending June, 1923 was reported to the Senate Tuesday, from the committee on appropriations carrying a total of $23,933,943.80. This is a net increase, recommended by the Senate committee, of $3,536,164 to the bill as passed by the House. The Senate committee eliminated the House provision under which 60 per cent of the appropriations is payable out of the revenues of the District and 40 per cent out of the Federal Treasury. In its place, the tax rate of $1.75 per hundred on real estate and tangible personal property is levied, and it is provided that after the revenue so raised has been exhausted the remainder of the appropriations is to come out of the Federal Treasury. A feature of the additions made by the Senate Committee that is of interest to the colored people of the District, is an item of $480,000 for additional schools and grounds and $25,000 added to the $25,000 allowed by the House for a bathing beach. There is also an additional $15,000 for night school making the allowance $90,000 for the next term. That the efforts of the large citizens committee, inspired by the assistant superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, were productive of results, is proven by the following items being restored to the bill by the Senate committee: For the purchase of land adjoining the Armstrong Manual Training School, $50,000; for beginning the erection of an addition to the same school, to include an assembly hall, additional class rooms, shops, and laboratories (within a limit of cost of $500,000 which is hereby authorized), $100,000, and the Commissioners are authorized to enter into contract or contracts for said addition at a cost not to exceed $500,000. For the erection of an eight-room addition to the Lovejoy School, including additional land, $140,000. For the erection of an eight-room addition to the Phillips School, including additional land, 140,000. For the purchase of land adjoining the Dunbar High School, $50,000. The original bill carried an appropriation of $140,000 for an eight-room addition to the Garrison School. In addition to the school appropriations there is one for $50,000 for construction of a bathing beach and bathhouse for the colored population of the city. The citizens committee headed by assistant superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson and with Dean Kelley Miller as chairman, had a hearing with the Senate sub-committee Thursday, February 23d. It was at this hearing that Prof. Wilkinson made the able, succinct and convincing address before the sub-committee showing the absolute necessity of the restoration of the Armstrong, Dunbar, Lovejoy and Phillips items to the appropriation bill. The crux of the situation was reached when Senator Spencer of Missouri asked: "Are all of you agreed that the Armstrong item is the most pressing one?" The whole delegation of more than 30 citizens answered, "Yes." 2 Over and over again the thoughtful, studious Tremain impressed upon his daughter the fact that she should marry. "Don't keep him waiting longer, my child," he would urge, while the pain in his dark, near-sighted eyes was all too evident. "He loves you, you love him, and he is a fine fellow." "But, daddy—let you live alone!" Clytie's St. Cecelia face would lift to scan the expression behind his heavy spectacles. "You have been a wonderful daughter; you have thought of me always; now we must think of you." He was smoothing her soft hair with a thin white hand. "I won't have you left alone—as Libbie Carson was when her father went at last. It is your right—every woman's right—to marry," he would stoutly affirm, but his heart quaked with the dread of losing his only child, the sunshine of his scholarly life. And Olytie would look long out of the window at the big, empty Carson home, across the elm-bordered street. It had been used as a hospital during the war. Libbie-husbandless, childless and the last of the Carsons—was wondering. One February evening she stared through the bare branches of the trees until every gray-shuttered window seemed to mock her with the eyes of starved ghosts. She twisted her hands in an agony of indecision: "I can't leave daddy for Race. If only mother had lived!" Then she wept hysterically. Her father, buried in his books, did not hear, but her lover came upon her unawares. "Clytie, darling," whispered, "let's get married right away; you've kept me waiting long enough." "That—that's what daddy says, too," she gulped weakly, from the pressure of his strong arms. "He does?" shouted Race. "Your dad's a brick!" he added in elegantly. "Perhaps we can persuade him to live with us, once we're married." She shook her head to assure him that her father never would, while a strange, new emotion hurried the heart against his breast. At that moment a finger of light from the rising moon touched the face of the house across the street. It was fateful. "Per—perhaps daddy could be persuaded," she whispered softly. The ceremony was a quiet one in the big, flower-decked library. While Clyte promised to love, honor and obey Horace Townley, her subconscious mind was an exclamation point: "Move daddy and all these books to a city apartment!" Then she was whirled away to a Southern honeymoon. Tremain's married sister stayed on with him while Clytle was gone. He would have preferred to be alone, with the memory of his daughter and the unobtrusive ministrations of the elderly housekeeper. Aunt Emma wasn't used to his ways, she was a fusser and managed to mislay his books and papers with her constant tidying. The bookworm was frequently driven from the house by her industry. The sight of a feather duster, with a long handle, in her capable hands, was the signal for his departure. "It will do him good," was her brisk answer to the old housekeeper when she remonstrated. "Clytle let her father have too much of his own way. But, land alive! what could one expect from a child with such a heathen name? He isn't fifty yet, and he moves about like an old man. The harassed man ceased, at last, to slam the outer door as a violent reproach to his officious relative. He began to enjoy his long walks in the keen March air and bright sun. His eyesight began to improve, his stooped shoulders straightened perceptibly, and his long limbs were acquiring a rhythmic swing in place of the former wabble. Aunt Emma smiled behind her duster. The glowing bride stepped from the gangplank into her father's strong grip. "Why, Daddy," she gasped, "is it really you?" "You may thank, or blame, your aunt for this coat of tan," smiled Tremain, when he had greeted the beaming Race. "But who is this?" "Forgive me, Miss Carson," Clyte sweetly apologized, to a fair woman with smiling blue eyes, who stood behind her. "We met her on the boat Daddy—you remember—from the house across the street?" "Libble—Libbie Carson!" Tremain had taken both gloved hands which the laughing woman held out. "Morse Tremain—you don't look a day over forty." The young folk had turned away to look over the luggage. "Do you know, I believe Daddy can be persuaded to live with us, after all?" cried the delighted bride. "Think so?—I don't," grinned Race, knowingly. Clyte looked back over his shoulder and stood stock still. The pair at the other end of the pier were in a world of their own. Her father's attitude was unmistakable, but the astute words she couldn't hear. "It is your duty. Libbie—every woman's duty—to marry." Nor the pink-faced woman's answer: "I—I believe it is, Morse." "Oh! Race—she—she's a darling," gasped Clytie. Then the St. Cecilia face lifted reverently in the sunshine THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. MARCH 4, 1922 How the Foreman Beat Ep (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The face of Riffkin, the little foreman, was set and resolute when he entered Ep's office in the Sult Emporium. Ep owned the emporium, with its stock of cheap, shoddy goods, over which half a score of girls sat toiling at their machines from eight till six, and sometimes later. "Well, Riffkin?" asked Ep, without looking up from his ledger. "Well, Mr. Ep, it's this way," began the foreman. "I come to you time and again about my girl, Maria Spalza. Me and she want to get married and we want to set up housekeeping. Last year, when her scalp was torn in your machine because you were too stingy to install a guard, you promised to settle for nine hundred dollars. And every time I speak you put me off with promises. Now, Mr. Ep, unless you pay, we go to law." feet, took the excited little man's arm. "See them goods?" he asked pointing to a series of shelves. "Four thousands dollars' worth of Paris style gowns, and useless. Why? Because they've got wide sleeves and the fashions has changed. Look here!" He pointed in another direction. "Four thousands dollars' worth of Paris style gowns that will go like hot cakes. Why? Narrow sleeves—new style. Now, my friend, if I sell every one of them new gowns, I just clear my losses on the old ones. And where's your profit? Presently—" "No more 'presently,'" Riffkin shouted. "I hear that word too much. Next year, mebbe, you settle—what?" Ep shrugged his shoulders. "You can't get blood out of a stone, Riffkin," he said. "Unless a fortunate accident happened—well, in that case I'd do handsome by you both. The old stock's insured for full value and the new nint' insured for a cent. Sure enough, my luck would be that if a fire burst out the new gowns would go up in a flash and the old stock wouldn't be touched by as much as a drop of water. If I wasn't an honest man—" He scowled angrily at the old stock, neatly wrapped upon the shelves. "I wish you was honest enough to pay your debts," growled the foreman, turning away. Maria Spalza, his sweetheart, worked on one of the machines. A year previously half her scalp had been torn away by an unprotected rod. It had been replaced by skillful skin-grafting and her beauty was not marred, but the pain and anguish were worth the paltry $900 that Ep had promised to pay. A jury would award $2,000. "I'm going to quit and sue him, Maria," said Riffkin during the noon half hour. "No, don't, Louis," pleaded the pretty Italian girl. "I know he means to do fair by us." Everybody knew that Louis and Maria had been sweethearts for two years. The day passed as usual. At six o'clock the girls ran chattering out of the building. Usually Mr. Ep was the last to leave, locking the office after him, and then the factory door, but on this occasion he hurried past Riffkin with averted face, leaving the little foreman a prey to wild astonishment. He switched off the electric light and instantly a red spark shone out upon the floor. Riffkin stared at it in horror. It was the lighted end of a cigarette, and was burning merrily, the end of the unit portion near a waste basket containing—oiled paper! Riffkin saw the scheme in an instant. He had not understood that Ep was proposing that he should burn down the factory that morning. Soon the whole place was afire. The flames had gained the end of the factory and were crawling up the walls. The glare was perceptible all down the street. Riffkin heard shouts underneath the windows. Then he ran down the stairs to the street, where the firemen were already leaping from their engines. "Seventh floor!" he gasped. "I tried to stop the spread, but it was beyond control. Hurry!" They did not need to hurry. In five minutes more only a mass of black and colling smoke showed where the conflagration had been. The crowd slowly dispersed. But Riffkin waited. He knew that Ep would come to see his handwork. Soon he perceived him skulking in the fringe of the crowd. The two saw each other simultaneously. Ep came forward with assumed anxiety. "This is terrible, Riffkin," he said. "How can it have happened?" "Let's go and see," said Riffkin, and took Ep by the arm. "Mr. Ep," said Riffkin, "I saw that cigarette. It ain't my business—but I want nine hundred." Ep attempted to bluster; then, checking himself, sat down and quietly wrote out the check upon his blackened desk. Riffkin read it and pocketed it. "Tm sorry it was the wrong stock, Mr. Ep," he said. "What d'you mean?" shouted Ep. Riffkin pointed through the smoke clouds. As these rolled away, Ep could see that the new gowns had been wholly consumed; but upon their shelves, neatly folded and protected from the water from the hose, the old insured gowns with the wide sleeves reposed in their pristine quality. Music Forum Wellington A. Adams PREACHER WANTS END TO WHEEZY CHOIRS AND MORE "PEP" IN CHURCH MUSIC More "pep" in church music, supplanting, if necessary, wheezy choirs with phonographs, was advocated in an address recently by the Rev. James E. Norcross of New York. Continuing he said: "Music is the war department of the church. It is hard to get a good organist and a good choir. I know a church that has been spending $150 annually for an organist and the same amount for a choir. It bought a good phonograph and now spend $25 a year for fine records. Incidentally, the attendance has increased." If this suggestion was carried out many churches next Sunday would have phonographs instead of choirs for all they worth. Singing is dull, wheezy, out of tune, spiritless and what not; no color, background or anything, just noise—that's all; and while harmony is regular vibration, noise of course is regular vibration, hence there is no harmony. There's a reason why there are no better choirs—Several reasons why a choir may not be good. Some lack mong membership, some faithful adefficient leadership, some harmony adherence to duty, some good support of church officials and membership as well as the choir itself. What wrecks prospects to most choirs is "dictatorial interference" on the part of some one or two who think they know more about running a choir than the leader, creating disturbance by too much assumption of false authority and just running rampant with their tongues. If a leader is efficient support him and silence disturbers; if inefficient remove him for another more qualified and demand support thereafter. But procuring a good leader, organist or choir is by no means an easy task. It is one thing to get amateurs in training for a job, but by far another thing, getting an experienced and efficient musician to handle the complex music problems GEN. RUSSELL'S APPOINTMENT TO HAITI CRITICIED James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York today made public a statement sharply criticising the Administration for sending Brigadier General John H. Russell to "clear up the situation" in Haiti. "The appointment of Brigadier General Russell to make a report on conditions on Haiti and 'clear up the situation' there does not presage any reform of the conduct of Haitian affairs. A commander of the Marine Corps, no matter how able and well qualified for the post, is part of the organization against which complaint has been made and under whose rule in Haiti the worst excesses occurred. "If the Washington Administration had the best interest of the Haitians and improved revelations between Haiti and the United States at heart, it seems a high class civilian would have been appointed who was not, in virtue of his position, a defendant in the present contentions and charges." Y.W.C.A. On Wednesday evening, February 22, the Dramatic Club of Girl Reserves under the direction of Miss Olive Jones presented "Hansel and Gretel" at the Dunbar High School as part of a program given by members of the community for the benefit of the Sterling Relief Association. The presentation of this little play was the donation of the Y. W. C. A. Dramatic Club to this worthy cause and shows these girls ever "ready for service." The actors were at their best. Those taking part were: Elaine Williams as Gretel; Harriet Ferguson as Hansel; Hortense Mims as the father; Sylvia Wormley, the Spirit of the mother, accompanied by eight Hawkins in the double role of the step-mother and the witch. The rehersel of the Atonement chorus on Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. proved a wonderful success and gives promise of a rare treat to all music lovers. The director, Mr. Tibbs, is much gratified by the fact that the registration shows a splendid chorus of 100 voices. The rendition of this oratorio will be an attempt to revive an appreciation for the best in music, especially in the productions of our race. You cannot afford to miss it. Watch for the date. Reserves, Mrs. Thompson's group, gave The Phyllis Wheatley Girl Reserves. arising in modern services of today A good choir depends upon the character of voices, musical ability and diligence of membership. The problem today is that between accepting volunteers of doubtful voice and ability and paid participants of known quality in molding a respectable choir unit. Between the two points of view depends largely the conditions enveloping the whole situation for a reasonable answer to the problem. "Music is the war department of the church!" It functions properly, however, when the music of the church reaches spiritual heights and not "Operatic," mind you, as some choirs are want to do. If one desires musical intellectuality he forthwith attends a recital or opera. If perchance the phere of the church. No choir serves soul needs spiritual vitality, then one seeks the moral and religious atmoss lofter mission and larger purpose other than thru music of spiritual import and power, so much so that it serves the double purpose of leading man back to God and giving him a higher inspiration in life. Trying to sing every high class piece obtainable, that two-thirds of the auditors are mentally incapable of comprehending, does not make for religious uplift and fervor. Sing something the audience can feel and understand, and stop so much snobbery in church music!

Last week, when I thought that I had grabbed off a genuine scoop; this gink crushed my journalistic ambition when he informed me that there was no room for "my bunk." Went upstairs to "chalk off" the Breakfast Rumpus that was being given by "Alamac Jack," Graves and Conrad, prominent promoters or sunrise "shin-digs." "Twas a wonderful gang of frocklers. Doc Perry and his Harmony Kings graced the music box. Alonzo (Shrimp) Collins and G. Frank Jones (She-Knee-Mike) pulled a neat little breakfast hop, too. They packed 'em in to the tune of about 600, more or less. The Romas at the Whitelaw Hotel under the supervision of James Taylor and Crutchfield, also cut in on the gate receipts of the other guys. Mrs. Lee cashiered, while Taylor and Crutchfield socialized. The "Bully-vard" was resplendent with gayety during the entire day. Squads and platoons of fair browns and rouge-tinted pinks participated in one endless parade. Everybody availed themselves of this splendid Spring day. Theatres and hops did a land-office business. Upon reaching 11th and You Sts., the body of Officer U. W. Hall was being borne from his late home, where the services were held. Officer Hall was an ardent worker for the uplift of young men. He served more than twenty years in the Police Department. Reported to the office. Concocted some news matter and deposited same Entered the recently confirmed Recorder of Deeds, Mr. Arthur W. Froe and his law partner, Attorney Capehart, a member of the West Virginia legislature. Shook hands with both, but suffered from a slight attack of "grip" because of the firm grasp of these two gentlemen. "Twas indeed a hearty shake. Much has been said of Mr. Froe's likeness to William Jennings Bryan. Made a profile caricature of the distinguished guest and sure nough there was a most remarkable likeness. The conductor of this column is the object of much abuse at the hands of Willie Mack Murray and Alberto Carter, both linotype operators, thru whose hands this matter passes. Home again (not blues) and big eats with the gang (five in all). Everything and everybody, all spruced up and raring to go. "Twas nobody's birthday but George Washington's but my two philanthropic sisters-in-law, Lillian and Carrie, had seen fit to bestow two splendid gifts upon the mistress and me. Withstood some third degree panhandling at the hands of the "gang" and again struck out for the "Bullyvard." With a stack of assignments yet to fill; I called it a day's work and so to "Snoozersville." Advertise in TheTribune ELECTREAT THE HAIR CARE Mrs. Barbour, 42 Pierce St., N.W. Mrs. L.

Go to Wall Street with the idea of investing or of wisely speculating and not with the idea of gambling to become rich over night and the following of certain simple fundamental principles will surely bring satisfactory results. Obviously the only approach to Wall Street is through a broker and the choice of the broker is the prospective investor's first care. The broker should be one of good reputation and his advice in the matter of purchase and sale may be most important as he is to be trusted with the honest handling of the client's money. Choose a broker whose integrity is unimpeachable and whose advice on investment and speculation is the result of a keen knowledge of the science based upon intelligent analyses of the listed corporations and the technical position of the market. Among the many ways of purchasing stock on the exchange the three most important from the standpoint of the conservative and uninited trader are the outright purchases, the purchase on margin and the partial payment plan. The simplest methods of dealing in Wall Street Securities, of course, is the outright plan. The investor decides, with or without the aid of his broker, what stock or bond he desires and sends his order with check or money covering the entire amount plus the brokerage fee of one eighth of one per cent. The transaction is much facilitated if the order is given to the broker. "At his market" rather than at any specified price since otherwise an eighth of a quarter of a point may serve to delay the purchase. With the order and money in hand the broker goes to the floor of the Exchange, purchases the desired issues and delivers certificate to his customer. The purchase of stocks on the margin plan is a bit more complex and so little understood that because a great deal of pure gambling is done on this plan, many consider the plan fundamentally bad. The purchase of stocks on the margin, however, is perfectly legitimate and sound business often requires that this plan be followed with as much reason as a mortgage being placed on a house. For after all in the purchase on margin a mortgage is really placed on the stock which you own. Suppose, for example, you wished to purchase 100 shares of U. S. Steel (incidentally one of the best buys on the market at its present price) on margin. The total cost of this stock selling at 84 would be $840.00 the amount you would have to pay in case you purchased outright. All stock must be purchased outright by someone, and in the margin plan you are aided in your purchase by the broker and the banker who lend to you at interest the difference between the amount you have and the amount you need. You are required to have at least 10 per cent of the market price of the stock, the percentage varying inversely with the activity and the stability of the issue to be purchased. You, then, give to the broker $840.00. The broker in turn, goes to the banker to borrow enough to cover the price using the stock as collateral.

This amount the broker himself must advance. The stock belongs to you but it is heavily mortgaged. All dividends paid on the stock are credited to your account. You may sell whenever you wish and any increase over the purchase price belongs to you. You pay the banker and the broker the interest on the amount of money borrowed to purchase the stock. The broker and banker require that the amount of equity which you own in the stock be at least 10 per cent of the market price, so that if the market price declines, a call is made upon you to out up the difference between the amount the old 10 per cent was and the amount the new 10 per cent is. If you have the money—and one should always have sufficient money for emergencies when purchasing on the margin—this call will not really be a disadvantage, for you have less borrowed money on which to pay interest and your equity in the stock is increased by the amount of your second payment. If the stock again goes up, you are privileged to withdraw a portion of your margin. Armstrong High School Notes The vacancy in the Mathematics Department has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Cato Adams who led in the competitive examination held last month. Mr. Adams is an alumnus of the school and has been a successful teacher in the elementary schools. He is the fifth alumnus to take a place on the faculty. Playing desperately to even up the interscholastic series, Dunbar High School defeated the basketball team of Armstrong early this week in the Dunbar gym by a score of 24 to 22. The series is now deadlocked, both teams having a percentage of 500. The tie will be played off shortly on a neutral court, probably Murray's Casino. Armstrong's second team was defeated by a quint from St. Cyprian's last week, the score being 29 to 30. In interscholastic basket ball, section K seems to have the edge with eight games won, one lost and one drawn. The members of the team are Samuel Nelson, captain; James Fisher, Everett Dorsey, Harold Carter, Russell Fletcher, William Dent, Carl Darden, Hugh Kirksey, Clarence Gross and Everett Grinage. Considerable ground was covered this week in the campaign for a new building at Armstrong, Daniel Murray, who secured the original appropriation in 1900 for the school appeared before the Senate sub-committee and stressed the needs of the school. Since that time members of the sub-committee have examined personally the conditions existing there. The reporter has found it quite interesting to attend the evening classes from 5 to 8 o'clock and the Moot Court of the Law School. On Friday evening February, 17, a short visit to the law school, was a pleasure to the reporter. On that evening Judge Booth lectured to the middlers on Federal Procedure; Prof. Wm. H. Richards on Evidence. The Moot Court met that afternoon, at which time Mr. Norman McGhee and Mr. Oscar Brown had a bitter argument over the case assigned to them which resulted in favor of the side defended by Mr. McGee. Att'y. W. L. Houston acted as judge. It was an inspiration to be there, and to observe the wonderful exhibition of the Negro in the field of law. Judge Booth, on the U. S. Court of Claims, has been recently appointed dean of the Law SchoolHe is a brilliant lawyer, lecturer, and is widely known. Student Honored Mr. Alexander Looby, president, of the Student Counell, prominent member of Kappa Sigma, and Howard's selected representative to the Student Disarmament Conference, which is established in every leading college and university in the country, represented Howard University at the meeting held at the University Club Monday night. There were many Senators and Representatives present. Chief Justice Wm. H. Taft spoke. Mr. Looby was the only Negro attending. To Have Professional Year Book The Senior Dental Class initiates a movement this year, the first of its kind in the history of the medical school. There will be a Professional Year-Book, separate from the college and supported by the professional classes: pharmacy, dental, medical and law classes. The officers are: John Chiles, editor; Joe Johnston, secretary; J. H. Taylor, treasurer; Albert Harris, advertising manager, and A. G. Thornton, circulating manager. Undergraduate life at Howard University is now centered in the coming intercollegiate debates to be held in the Spring with Lincoln University, Virginia Union University, and Atlanta University. This triangular debate will be held March 21, 1922. The proposition to be discussed is: "Resolved, That the Open Shop policy should prevail in American Industries." In addition to the triangular debate, Howard will also meet its ancient rival, Atlanta University, in Washington two weeks prior to the triangular debate. The subjeet of the debate will be: "Resolved, That the United States should cancel the war debts of the Allies." Howard will uphold the affirmative and Atlanta the Negative. The speakers for the various teams which will represent Howard have not as yet been chosen but the following provisional selection has been made: for the debate with Atlanta University: A. E. Burke, C. L. Clark, M. G. Edmonds, L. K. McMillan, M. G. Murray, Y. L. Simms, J. E. Smith, J. G. Woods, and C. G. Carrington; for the triangular debate: E. Alexander, W. R. Adams, H. E. Bledsoe, J.

Adhering closely to its principle and heaving to the line, Sigma went into its shrine, February 17th, at 11:30 for its mid-year initiation. It took just seven hours to initiate the seven candidates. The new members are Arthur G. Daly, Clarence Preston, David Johnson, Chas. Wade, T. Edelin, Clarence Ingram and Albert K. Bright.

"Rip Van Winkle" A FEATURE PICTURE AT DUNBAR THEATRE In a little village in the Catskills, lived Rip Van Winkle, his wife Gretchen and his little daughter, Meenie. Gretchen found him a sore trial, for he was shiftless and weak-willed—though infinitely lovable withal. Derrick Von Beekman had been advancing Rip money until almost all of Rip's property was mortgaged to him. And then he learned that Rip's notes were not properly made out and unless he got a new note covering all cash advanced to Rip in the past, his money was lost. He tried to entrap Rip into signing the new note, but Fate intervened. That very day, Dame-Van Winkle, in desperation, drove Rip from home. Sadly, he shuffled away. Aimlessly he rambled. Suddenly he was surprised to observe a tiny figure—a gnome-staggering along beneath the weight of a keg. He motioned to Rip to assist him. Rip shouldered the load and started off. Soon they finally came to a green bowling. The leader of the gnomes handed a flagon to Rip, who raised it aloft and drank deep. After a moment a strange weakness crept over him, and with one feeble groan he fell unconscious to the ground. The years went by. Dame Van Winkle, all hope of Rip's return abandoned, had been joined in wedlock to Derrick Von Beekman. Meenie Van Winkle had plighted her troth to Heindrick Vedder, her childhood playmate, who had gone to sea. For months nothing had been heard from him, and then Von Beekman announced the receipt of a letter containing news of Heindrick's death. He declared that she must marry Cockles, his deformed nephew, at once or else his roof would shelter her no longer. All preparations for an immediate wedding were made, and then— Down the main street there came a strange figure, bearded, tattered and torn. A crowd scoffed and hooted at his heels. Finally one loafer, bolder than the rest gave the feeble old man a shove which sent him sprawling. Then of a sudden there came an interruption. A brawny stripling fought his way through the mob, hurling them right and left; he assisted the feeble old man to the adjacent tavern where everything was made clear. It was Rip Van Winkle returned home after a twenty year's sleep brought about by the magic liquor of the gnomes. And the youngster who helped him was none other than Heindrick Vedder, just arriving from abroad. Together they made their way to Von Beekman's home. There Von Beekman was discredited and proven a liar and a thief, while Heindrick Vedder and Meenie and Rip and his spouse found their long-deferred happiness in each other's arms. SPORTS Wills Wins By K. O. in Second New York, March 2.—Harry Wills, heavyweight fighter of New Orleans, tonight knocked out "Kid" Norfolk of Baltimore, in the second round of their scheduled fifteen-round bout in Madison Square Garden. When they came out of their corners in the second, Norfolk went into a clinch and a moment later fell backward to the floor, taking the full count. No one at the ringside saw the blow that felled him. After the count he walked to his corner and did not seem hurt. Wills said the blow was a short inside right to the jaw. Referee Kid McPartland told newspaper men that he saw the blow delivered and that it did not travel more than six inches. DEANWOOD CLUB SIGNS BARBER Members of the Deanwood Athletic Club had a very interesting meeting this week. Practically all of the players were present and after disposing of the regular business, the boys engaged in baseball politics and gossip. The outstanding feature of the meeting was the announcement that catcher Leroy Barber had been signed for the coming season. Barber is one of the best catchers in the District and his acquisition to the Deanwood team gives them a big advantage behind the bat. Captain Green is determined to win the District Championship this year and is strengthening his team wherever he can. His pitching staff appears very strong; with Rhulac, Thomas, Posey, Shoemate and some youngsters, along with Taylor and Capt. Green as relief pitchers. The staff looks good. Allplans are complete for a nice club house for visitors. A perfect diamond is being made and the outfield is being enlarged. The managers woul like to hear from some good team who desires to play the opening game about April 14th or 15th. For dates write or phone Captain Green, 4340 Sheriff Ave., N. E. Phone Lincoln 1214 after six o'clock. NOTE:—The Tribune's All-High Basketball Team will appear after the close of the High School Series. Don't Miss It. Lightning Five and Delta Tuesday evening, in Spaulding Casino at Howard University from 6 to 8 o'clock, the Lightning Five won from the Sophomore college class, and the Delta Big Five won from the Freshmen college class. Both games were interesting, and were hard fought ones. All of the teams showed good form and trained product. The lightning Five won for League B. and Delta for League A. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 Track Training Starts at Union Richmond Va.-Track practices at Union University started in earnest last week. Already the candidates have shown a marked improvement. The presence of such stellar performers as Liggon, Waller, Boykin, Morris, Cook, Powell, Derritt, Aikens, and Haskins who participated in the meet held here in 1920 in which the Big "U" team was victorious, adds much to the prospects of a championship team. Manager Corrothers, DeLoatch, Wilson, Jackson and Abrams, a former Brooklyn High flash, are showing great form in the dashes. Coach Harold D. Martin expects to enter a speedy string of athletes in the Howard meet on May 13th, as well as the Hampton bowl. Plans are on foot to stage several meets in New Port News, Norfolk and Richmond in which the "Red and Steel" is looking forward to playing a great part.

Alco-Carlisle Game Announced The Announcement of the Alco-Carlisle game on March 10th at Murray's Casino has met with great joy by District basketball lovers. Bitter rivalry has existed between these teams for years and all the time local fandom has clamored for a contest, but seemingly no agreement could be reached between the managements of the clubs. Neither team has been as active this season as heretofore. But coaches Smith and Dash of the Alco and Carlisle, respectively, report their men have been practicing regularly and will enter the game in the best of condition. Kenner, Morris, Graves, Carroll, Morse, and Johnson are members of the Alco quint. The Carlisle "Big Five" will be picked from Hill, Taylor, Barber, Robinson, Cornish and Turner. In order to be in the best of shape for the big game the Alco will take on the Settlers at Minor Normal on March 3rd and the St. Cyprians on the latter's court on March 8th. Both of these teams are well known and fast games are expected. Girl Teams in Big Game The Phyllis-Wheatley "Y" quint will meet the Philadelphia "Y" five Saturday night, March 4th, at 8:00 o'clock at the locals gymnasium, 9th and R. I. ave. A great game is expected as these are the best teams in the Middle Atlantic Section. Good music is promised after the game. LAFAYETTES WANT EARLY GAME The Lafayettes of Alexandria, Va., under the guidance of Mr. Sherman Majors, and Perry Felton, the manager and captain respectively, desire to arrange games at an early date with all teams in this vicinity. With Ernest Lloyd (alias Mutt) in short-stop, and Edgar Richardson in the hot corner, every grounder is sure to be "nipped in the bud." Ernest Lloyd has been complimented by many fans on his ability to "throw 'em out" in any position. The consistent playing of Edgar Richardson will cause him forever to be among the stars. By no means should we eliminate Harry Vass who is a marvel either on second or in short-stop. He is the fastest man Mr. Majors has and very good with the hammer. Y. W C. A. Defeats Howard The "Y" Basketball Team won easily from Howard at Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. on Tuesday night, Feb. 21 before a crowd of more than three hundred enthusiastic rooters Both teams did some good playing but the "Y" team showed too much speed for the "Hill" girls, who hope to even up at an early date. The score was 21-13 and the line up was as follows: Howard P. H. "Y" Harris F. B. Winston Smith F. F. Minor Redding C. A. Gant Cobby G. R. Duffey Hundley G. V. Johnson The substitutes for Howard—Coleman for Harris, Harris for Smith, and Gwyn for Hundley: for the "Y" team—Joyce for Johnson. The next big game will be Saturday March 4, with the Germantown, Pa., Y. W. C. A. team. This promises to be a very interesting game and no one should miss it. Lincoln Beats Hampton *R. Charles H. Williams* Hampton, Va.,-Lincoln University won the baseball championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States by defeating Hampton 41 to 35 in a hard-fought, well-played game.

The second half with Lincoln getting the jump, but toward the end of the game the "Seasiders" played with old-time form and only time saved the Pennsylvania quintet. The playing of Wheatland for Lincoln was easily the feature of the game. He made 31 points for his team. Lincoln's victory was the second over Hampton this season. DUNBAR THEATRE 7th and T Sts.

Many a man has lost his opportu- nity because he did not stop to wipe his nose. Each of these classes of men lacked the ability to grasp the significance of the particular circumstances. The first failed to see that there was no time to be lost by the act of wiring his nose—and his opportunity was gone. The other did not see it was es- sential to wipe his nose—and like- wise his opportunity was gone. Every Negro, be he child or adult, must learn what, when, and why to do-a thing—then do it. Be sure you are right. Remember that every bad break one Negro makes it a mark against over a million people. ‘The Cousin’s Club in the “Wash- ington Post” has often set mé wonder- ing whether any colored children took advantage of presenting their liter- ary wares to the public.

EVELYN WOOD (Age 14) THRIFT (Thrift Story, 3rd Prize) Thrift is a vision. ? I want to urge every person living in Washington, to start at once, td make for himself the ten steps to in. dividual prosperity. The starting of these steps call for no money for the beauty of Thrift Week is that all it asks of any one is simply to give thought to and make plans for getting’ ahead in life. All the erection that these ten steps in. volve is the will power to work ear. pestly like a true American; to spend one’s money wisely for things that really count and which are worth working for. It is just ordinary common sense not-to spend all or more than on¢ earns, and to save something for fu- ture wise spending. Thrift means to spend wisely, pro- fitably, frugally, then comes wealth. Remember that a penny saved is a penny earned. ¢ _ Start the children on the road to thgjft by making them save. The ten steps towards success are: work, and earn; make a budget; re- cord expenditures; have a bank ac- count; carry a life insurance; own your home; make a will; pay bills promptly; invest in safe securities; share with others. All of these are on the road to thrift. i : RUTH CARTER (Age 13). ‘THE FABLES OF CASSIOPEIA AND MEMNON* We know that there have been black kings, presidents, and congressmen; such poets as Latino, Pushin, and Dunbar; such warriors as Hannibal, Antar, and L’Overure; such explor- ers as Estevancio called “Little Steve”), and Henson; such painters as Sebastin Gomez and Tanner; such writers as Dumas, Chestnut, and Du- Bois; sueh Singers as Elizabeth Green- field, Selika, Burleigh, and Hayes; such comedians as Coles, Lucas, and Bert Williams; such actors as Ald- ridge and Gilpin; such composers as Bland and. Coleridge-Taylor; such journalists as Fortune and Trotter; such educators as Washington and Mary S. Peake; a Douglass, an At- tucks, and a hundred others in every endeavor of humankind. Why. then, should one not be proud of the Negro race? In later years there will be books from which colored children will study and these books will contain stories telling of the great men and women of our race who have done great things, even as the Greeks and Romans did in their tales.” These ancient stories are what grown folks call mythology but we will call them by their simpler name, fables. Far back in the history of the world Dawn, the Sun, and the Moon were supposed to rise out of the ocean and drive through the air giving light to gods and humans, ‘The earth was supposed to be flat and circular and the Greeks claimed that their own country occupied the middle-of it. (By filling a plain wed- ding ring with dough or gum and plac- ing. it flat upon the table you can get a perfect idea of how the earth would appear if it was round and cir- cular. Now divide the filling into quarters by marks and where the lines cross in the center, that is where the Greeks imagined themselves as. liv- ing.) The circular disk of the earth ran west to east and was divided into two equal parts by the Sea, as they called what we now call the Mediter- ranean.* Around the earth flowed the River ‘Ocean which ran from south to north ‘on the western side of the earth and in the opposite direction on the east- ern side. On the southern side of the earth, close to the River Ocean lived a happy and virtuous peolpe called the Aethio- pians. ‘The gods liked them and would leave their celesta! homes in Olympus to visit them at their banquets and sacrifices, = Now that. we have an idea of what mythology concerns and where Aethi- opia is, let us bear in mind that the Aethiopians were black people. ‘That is why we are so interested in these two particular stories. Cassiopeia and Her Daughter Cophus was the king of Aethiopia and Cassiopeia was his queen. Cassiopeia was vain and boasted of her beauty jand compared it with that of the &1-Nymphs. Although she was very beautiful she should not have been so vain. The Sea-Nymphs were so displeased with her that they caused, through the gods, Cassiopeia’s daughter to be chained to a rock near the Sea. The Sea-Nymphs then sent a sea-monster to attack her. While she was tied to the rock, Pérseus, the son of Jupiter, fought the serpent and rescued the princess. Cephus and Cassiopeia then gave their daughter to Perseus in- marriage, After the death of the queen she was placed among the stars which to this day bear her name. The Sea- Nymphs had ber placed in the sky near the pole, where every night’ she is half the time held with her head downward as a lesso'nin humility. ven this was an honor and she is refvrred to as “the starred Aethiop| queen.” Memnon Memnon was an Aethiopian prince the son of Aurora and Tithonus. He went to Troy to assist King Priam to resist the Gréeks after be coming the King of Aethiopia. He was slain in battle by Achilles, an¢ Aurora who witnessed the death of her son, from her home in the sky, di- rected his brothers, the Winds, t carry his body and bury it ip a tomt on the banks of the stream in the grove of the Nymphs. Aurora stil mourns the loss of her son, and the tears she sheds may be seen at early morning in the form of dew-drops on flowers, grass, and trees, In Egypt, on the banks of the Nile River, are two large statues, one of which is said to be a statue of Mem- non. It is claimed that as the sun rises and ey rays slant against this pillar a as of the snapping of a harpstring is heard. So the black people, as well as in all other things, have a just claim in mythology or the fables of the gods, Also there are many tales of brave warriors in the Legends of Charle- mange. As every boy ard girl has made ug his and her mind to vote when the right age is reached, too, let every boy and girl become acquainted with the fables of the gods. Most all good literature has mention of the gods and 7 heroes of these fables and to under- stand literature and art better it is as necessary-to know about these fables as it is to know your school history. *NOTE: This story appeared in the Tribune of October, 29, 1921, and there have been many teachers requesting that it be published again for the ben- efit of the children who were not read- ers cf the Page at that time.

FRAZIER THE SQUIRREL AND THE TREES Once there was a poor little squir- rell who had broken off the end of his ear, he had no one to love him and no home in which to live. He was @ very young squirrel who had just begun to try to find his way in the world. The first place that he thought he would like to live wai'in an old acorn tree, He walked up to her and said (pleasantly): “Mrs, Acorn Tree, may I live with you through this very cold winter that will be soon here?” Mrs. Acorn Tree said: “No, you little rascal, you will soil my pretty green leaves and perhaps eat my a- corns for food.” ‘The poor little squirrel felt very badly, but he kept walking until he ame to an old oak tree. He said (kindly): Mr. Oak Tree, may I live among your branches this winter? I think you would enjoy com- nae Mr. @ak Tree said: “No, you will break my pretty branches off and you will do a Jot of other things that are naughty. I know you little squirrels. ‘This made the poor little squirrel feel as if he was in the world all alone or that’ he had no friends. He walked on for about half a mile when all of a sudden he came to some very kind-looking trees all smiling as sweetly as if they knew just what he was looking for. ‘The little fellow politely bowed to them and said “Good morning, kind trees, I am-out looking for a com- fortable home.” The trees all sang in chorus: “We have plenty of room here for you.” These trees were the pine, cedar, and holly. The pine and cedar trees said: “You may live upon our bran- ches aslong as you live!” The holly tree said: “You need not worry for food for as long as I am alive I shall feed-you on my little red berries. All of this good luck made~ the little squirrel feel like he had walked into paradise. When autumn came old King Wind sent his son, Prince Wind out to blow. He remembered the kind deed done by the good trees and the kind prince punished the mean trees by blowing with all his power until he had blown every leaf from their branches; but he only blew a pleasant little breeze through the branches of the kind trees and ever since then they have been allowed to keep their pretty green dress-on all the year round, while in the winter the mean trees have to put on their dirty little black dresses: Ever since then, the kind trees have been called “the good old evergreen DISTRICT SUFFRAGE Every citizen of the District of the report of the Senate amendment to the Constitution the District of Columbia represents electoral College and access to Washington is the only cap where the citizens are impotent in their own government.

Every citizen of the District of Columbia should be proud of the report of the Senate District Committee favoring an amendment to the Constitution empowering Congress to grant the District of Columbia representation in Congress and in the electoral College and access to the Federal Courts. Washington is the only capital of a republic in all the world where the citizens are impotent regarding their representation in their own government. The fitness of the citizens of Washington is demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt by any and all tests, for citizenship. The report shows that the District, with a population of 437,571 is ahead of Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, Arizona, Vermont, New Mexico and Idaho. The Federal Taxes amounting to $18,645,053 paid by the citizens of the District exceed those of fifteen states, the nearest of which is Alabama, which state has 12 votes in the electoral college. There is Mississippi paying $11,786,386 and enjoying 10 votes in the electoral college. Of course the votes in the electoral college are based on population; but the District has a population exceeding seven states and pays Federal taxes exceeding 15 states. The percentage of illiteracy is lower than that of 33 states which is more than two-thirds of the states in the Union. Her quota of troops in the World War was larger than that of seven of the states. Section 8, article I, of the Constitution authorizes Congress to exercise authority over the District of Columbia. The President has the power of appointing the District Commissioners, but the citizens should be given the right to elect the school board, Public Utilities Commission and in fact the District Commissioners should be elected by the people. The present school situation is a concrete example of the impotency of the people of the District regarding their local school affairs, because of the lack of the power of the ballot. National representation will clothe the citizens of Washington with a vital American privilege to which they are undeniably entitled. CHURCH CASE YET UNDECIDED and deputies had to clear the halls. However, they had considerable trouble in doing this. Atty. Armond Scott, counsel for Rev. Taylor, appeared on the scene about 12 o'clock. Some of Rev. Taylor's associates spoke a few words of cheer and wished him good luck. A large number of preachers were among the throng. Just before the court's door opened, they gathered in a witness room and when the door opened, they marched in first. Great crowds were trying to get in from every entrance and it was all the bailiffs could do, to hold them back. Many who came early as well as those who came late were unable to get in. The court ordered that no one be allowed to stand, so after the available seats had been filled the others were turned back. Among the crowd was many well dressed women, with their fur coats; others who looked as if they were just from work. One noticeable thing was the number of elderly women and men in the crowd. Everybody was looking interested and talking about the case pending. Even after the court doors had been closed, hundreds remained outside, but as the afternoon grew late, the crowd dwindled down to a faithful few who remained to learn of the court's action. Just when the Auditor of the District will start his inquiry could not be learned; but because of the chaotic conditions of the Church's affairs, it is expected that he will start at a very early date. HEAD OF AMERICAN WOODMEN HERE NEXT WEEK The American Woodmen are to be visited by their Supreme Commander Hon. C. M. White, of Denver, Colorado, who will deliver a public address at Asbury M. E.

M. WHITE The overcrowded condition existing at the Armstrong Manual Training School was brought to the attention of the Senate Sub-Committee by Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, at a special hearing on February 23rd, because of the recent agitation to have the McKinley Manual Training School allocated to the Armstrong Manual Training School. The Armstrong Alumni Association was represented by Capt. R. G. Queen and Mr. S. Cunningham. At a special meeting of the association a vote of thanks for Asst. Supt. Wilkinson was passed because of his forceful presentation of the Armstrong issue. Letters were sent to Senators Ball, Spencer, Phipps and Capper requesting that immediate relief be accorded the Armstrong School. Plans were perfected for the competitive squad drill to be held at Armstrong April 7th. Mr. Benjamin Washington, faculty adviser, was present and made helpful suggestions to the Alumni. Flowers were sent to the treasurer, Miss Mayme Mehlinger, who is ill, in appreciation of her invaluable services to the association. ```markdown ``` THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 Mrs. Sadie J. Carter, the president, urged that the Alumni give their support to the work of the association by their presence and advice. She told of a recent conference with Capt. A. C. Newman, principal of Armstrong, in which he outlined the needs of the school. Prominent among the needs were: 1. Immediate relief from overcrowded conditions now existing. 2. Adequate laboratory and class room equipment. 3. Support of the athletic activities of the school. Mrs. Cortion Speaks Monday noon at the chapel.

THOMAS who were willing to stand our own men's enterprises. The officers of this corporation are all men well known to me and to the public. They are Mr. S. H. Dudley, Raymond H. Murray and Wm. A. Bowie. These men are well versed in business and finance, and both desire and deserve the support of our people. I am confident that this combination will make the Howard Theatre the success that I and the people of Washington wants it to be. To those who have at all times maintained a loyal attitude toward the Howard Theatre I am grateful, and I ask that they will continue that loyalty under the new management. Signed— ANDREW J. THOMAS H. U. NOTES At Chapel The regular vesper services were held in Rankin Memorial Chapel Sunday evening at 4:30 o'clock. Dr Durkee, spoke and the university chorus rendered the music services.

Prof. Gregory was asked to assist in the selection of this character. ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Masonic Anniversary Universal Lodge No. 1 A. F. and A. M. held their 77th anniversary services at Shiloh Baptist Church last Sunday night. Rev. James H. Marshall, the pastor of Shiloh preached. The history of the lodge was given by B. F. Watson, D. D. G. M. On Monday night the lodge continued the celebration of its anniversary at the Community Building. Refreshments, smoking, and speech making were the features of the occasion. Parent-Teacher Association The monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was held on Tuesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Turner, 613 S. Alfred St. The secretary was ordered to communicate with the school board and ask for permission to hold its meetings at the Parker-Gray School. This same communication will also ask for permission to have the building opened every Saturday for a physical training class. If this plan is carried out, Miss Lucile Moore, the physical training instructor at the "Y. W." in Washington, will have charge of the local class. Each child is charged twenty-five cents a lesson, providing the class is not less than ten. The class will be held in the afternoon. Final plans will be announced as soon as the school board acts. This meeting was well attended by teachers and parents. The secretary was informed that the meeting could be held in the Parker-Gray building, but as the building had been closed to them, notice had been issued to the effect that the meeting was to be held at 613 B. Alfred Street. This information came too late to change the plans of the association. Mrs. Turner served the association with refreshments. The Elk's sick list consist of Messrs. W.

Call me, mother, and I'll answer As in sweet old days gone by; What to her is earth's vain treasure Compared with her Master's side. So I'll miss her loving kindness, Sweet caresses, gentle smiles; Till we meet in fairer mansions, All around the Savior's side. JOS. D. JENKINS.
