The Washington Tribune Segregation at Branch Libraries? All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, No. 45 Segre SCHOOL BOARD RESCINDS PART OF HOUSTON RESOLUTION Attorney Stood Alone In Making Fight For Measure GOLLEAGUES DID NOT VOTE Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Cook Failed to go on Record for Resolution The Board of Education, at its meeting Wednesday, dodged "segregation" for the proposed branch libraries to be placed in the public school buildings, by revoking that part of the resolution adopted February 4, requiring the use of the branch libraries by both colored and white children. James T. Lloyd offered the motion and Mrs. Rhodes moved the second to rescind the order. Attorney William L. Houston opposed the motion in a formal statement. The vote was by viva voce but neither Dr. J. Hayden Johnson or Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, the other colored members of the board supported Attorney Houston, failing to vote "no" when the "noes" were called for. Secretary Harry O. Hine, laid before the board, resolutions from 12 organizations requesting revocation and resolutions from three organizations endorsing the resolution of February 4th. Those endorsing it were: The Baptist Ministers Conference; Howard Park Association and the Associated Civic Associations which includes fifteen colored civic organizations. Those opposing Mr. Houston's resolution were: Board of Trade, City Club, Congress of Mothers, Junior Order of American Mechanics, Lincoln Park Citizens Association, Twentieth Century Club, Mid-City Citizens Association, Stanton Park Citizens Association, Civilian Club, Columbia Heights Citizens Association and Roy R. Priest. The part of the resolution rescinded reads as follows: "it being understood and required by the Board of Education that the same policy that obtains at the central library, that is, patrons shall have access to and use of the branch libraries without regard to race or color." Mr. Houston's statement in objecting to rescinding it said: "The atmosphere would be cleared and better feeling prevail if certain individuals stopped all this agitation about social equality. "No self respecting colored person wants to associate with anybody of any race who does not want to associate socially with him. "There was no need in this case of the libraries to resort to the hypocrisy of hiding behind the charge of social equality to express opposition to the resolution, because no one of the members of the Board had the thought of undertaking to establish such a relationship. Both the white and the colored members would resent such a suggestion. "Equality of opportunity and not social relationship was the one and only motive that prompted the introduction and passage of the resolution regarding the branch libraries in public schools. "I regret that the public was misled in the matter of the resolution adopted by the Board of Education at the session held on February 4, 1922 and that some person or persons saw fit to represent that the ultimate purpose of the resolution was to destroy (Continued on page 8) --- Published Weekly egatio FORAKER THEATER REOPENS The Foraker Theatre which has been closed for over three weeks for repairs will open Saturday afternoon with a feature bill of pictures.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 HOWARD THEATER REOPENS WITH NEW POLICY HOWARD THEATER REOPENS WITH NEW POLICY Public Shows Appreciation by Attending in Large Numbers HOUSE RENOVATED THRUOUT High Class Pictures and Feature Road Shows on Bill By Jay Bee The Howard Theater opened its doors to the public last Saturday evening under the Dudley-Murray management. The initial offering was enthusiastically received by two capacity audiences. The varied program comprised a rattling good picture story of the Canadian Northwest, with Nell Shipman in the stellar role and an episode of a serial which has been running there for sometime. A side-splitting Buster Keaton comedy closed the bill. Mr. Mortimer Harris, a well-known young business man presented Messrs. Sherman H. Dudley, Raymond H. Murray and F. Morris Murray, the gentlemen, who are directly responsible for the acquisition of the Howard. Mr. Dudley in very simply language, briefly outlined the future policy of the House. Judging from the vociferous applause, which followed his remarks, the old Howard, the "People's Playhouse" will again take on new life. Jesse Powell, the florist—of "Flowers, Rich and Rare" fame—presented the management with a huge basket of flowers that were truly rich and rare. The house will be managed by Mr. Dudley, assisted by Messrs. Raymond H. and F. Morris Murray. With this line-up, the Howard patrons can be doubly assured that they will at all times, be given the best possible attractions, including the acted dramas and musical comedies from time to time. The management has spent an exceedingly strenuous week in preparation for the opening. There have been numerous alterations made, all of which, have been done in an effort to insure the comfort of patrons. Scren exposition will make way for the legitimate acted drama next week, when the Dunbar Players, headed by Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond, supreme Washington favorites, will present "The Storm," one of the most spectacular dramas of the day. "The Queen of Sheba," one of the most elaborate film creations ever shown; "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," the world-famed screen classic; and "Easy Money," in which our own "Unk" Dudley is featured, are just some of the many extraordinary attractions that will be seen here at an early date. THE DU-FO COMPANY Office and sales rooms of the Du-Fo Manufacturing Company were recently opened at 465 Florida Avenue. This company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware for $50,000 and is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of hair and toilet preparations. Parlors have been opened in connection with the salesroom and office and demonstrations of the actual goods are given. Classes are also taught. The Parlors are equipped with the most modern sanitary furniture throut. Madame W. R. Dudley is the president of the Du-Fo company and Charles P. Ford is the secretary. REAL ESTATE MEN ORGANIZE The real estate dealers of the District met last Tuesday night at the Mu-So-Lit Club on R Street, N.W. and formed a temporary organization, with the view of perfecting an organization for mutual help and protection. Mr. Jessie H. Mitchell was made temporaryl president. A committee of three was appointed to draft a plan for operation. DUDLEY BUYS STOCK IN DUNBAR Secures Holdings Formerly Held by Rufus G. Byars The Dudley-Murray Corporation having purchased the lease of the Howard theater and in order to link more closely the theatrical interests of Dudley and Murray, Mr. S. H. Dudley has purchased the stock of Mr. Rufus G. Byars in the Dunbar Theater at 7th and T Sts. This move strengthens the tie between the Dunbar and the Howard assuring a harmonious working relationship between the two theaters. PALMER'S GARAGE IS EXPANDING Realizing the expanding possibilities of the automobile, Robert H. Palmer early recognized his opportunity in this business and began preparing himself to do first class repair work in a garage of his own. That dream was realized when he moved into the large, fire proof building at 904 Barry Place Northwest. The Palmer garage is equipped with the most modern equipment for repairing all motors. He has the Franklin valve refacing machine, which is said to be the last word in refacing machines. Mr. Palmer takes a personal interest in all of his work and has adopted "Service paramount" as his slogan. As a result of his painstaking interest in every job that comes into his place, he has customers in many of the surrounding cities, even as far as Philadelphia. Robert H. Palmer Mr. Palmer has six men assisting him and every one is an expert in his line; "Therefore, we can turn out the best work in the shortest time," said Mr. Palmer. He further stated that he was impressed with the opportunity for colored men in the auto industry. "There is room for ten or twelve places as large as mine and all of us could be kept busy by our people. They are realizing that we can do the work; and as this confidence increases, the demand for more repair shops will increase." Charles E. Lane, who recently resigned as Librarian at Miner Normal has opened a swell appointed office in the Southern Aid Building where he is engaged in all forms of real estate. MARYLAND CITIZENS TAKE UP VITAL PROBLEMS AT GREAT MASS MEETING Office: 920 U St., N. W. MARYLAND CITIZEN UP VITAL PR GREAT M NEW GROCERY STORE FOR ANACOSTIA The opening of a first class grocery store and meat market by W. P. Tate, at 2437 Nicholas Avenue, S. E., marks the progress of the colored citizens of Anacostia, D. C. This store is in a building owned by Mr. Tate. It is 20 by 40 feet, electric lighted, newly painted and modernly furnished with the best fixtures obtainable. The stock is all new and clean and the shelf arrangement demonstrates the detailed care and system of the proprietor. "Our first week in business has proven entirely satisfactory," said Mr. Tate to a Tribune representative. "My experience tells me that our peo- Wm. P. Tate ple will patronize one another when the business man carries what they want and at the right price. I am very much encouraged and shall endeavor to meet the demands of the people by having the best goods and keeping a sanitary place. W. P. Tate is a substantial citizen of Anacostia. He is married, has a large home at 2429 Shannon Place, six children, and is the Superintendent of the Bethlehem Baptist Sunday School. For seven years he was in the forest division of the Agricultural Department. Seven years ago he purchased the building in which the store is located with the view of going into business for himself. Four years ago he quit the service and ran a service car and on March the 7th, opened his grocery store and meat market. For three years Mr. Tate was member of the famous Tenth Cavalry and while in the service, was placed in charge of the post exchange for the regiment. It was in the exchange that he obtained his experience and desire for the grocery business. The store is well stocked with fresh and smoked meats, fresh vegetables and standard groceries. Mr. Tate is a quiet, unassuming man, positive and alert. His military training is noticeable and is shown in the excellent method employed in his store. He is determined to make the venture a success. This has been his dream for a number of years and the outlook is promising for his success.

INS TAKE PROBLEMS AT MASS MEETING True Conditions at Normal School Brought Before Voters CITIZENS ARE AROUSER Politicians to Feel Force of Voters at Coming Elections Bowie, Md., March 14—Dissatisfaction and indignation of the colored people of Prince George County, Maryland, over educational conditions culminated Tuesday night, in a mass meeting of the Welfare League, here. The large hall in which the meeting was held was crowded with people from many points in the county. The main topic of discussion was the shameful conditions at the Maryland Normal and Industrial Institute at Jericho Park. For ten years Prof. D. S. S. Goodloe served as principal of the school. He is of the new type of colored men, fearless and independent. Last fall, simply on the advice of the white state supervisor of colored schools, a new principal named Leonidas James was appointed. But because of his attitude toward certain important questions dissatisfaction began with the opening of the school. It was brought out at the meeting that there was an attempted murder at the school, which is said to have been hushed up. It was alleged that water from an open ditch was used at the school resulting in the death of a student, but this fact was kept from the knowledge of the State Board of Education; also that tainted and spoiled food was served to the students at the school. It was alleged that money paid by the students for board, was used for other purposes and the students given food words that served in a penal institution, and that the truth about these things was kept from the State Board of Education, and the Governor, by these responsible. A resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice, condemning the present educational situation and commending the teachers of the Normal School, who were loyal enough to their people to register a protest against the insufferable conditions there. This protest was signed by every teacher in the school. The school was closed about a month ago, on the plea that there was not sufficient water there to supply the school, and that the great Commonwealth of Maryland could not spend the means to supply it. This it is alleged was a boomerang; the real reason for closing the school being to throw the teachers out of work because they signed the letter of protest. The League also condemned the Representatives from Maryland who failed to vote on the Dyer Bill in the House. Of the six Representatives from the State of Maryland, only one voted for the bill. Four of the Representatives are Republicans and three of them were conveniently ill at the time of the vote and the fourth one was present but failed to vote for or against the bill. Prince George County is in the Fifth District which is represented by Hon. Sidney E. Mudd who is serving his third term in Congress. Racial consciousness is being aroused in Maryland and there is some talk of the colored people looking after their own interests, wherever possible. Two or three of the Congressional Districts of the State are (Continued to Page 8) Music Forum Wellington A.Adams Director Columbia Conservatory of Music Choir management, that's the problem of the church today. What is the cause, the underlying motive, of constant choir friction and restlessness? Why, in a Christian cause where worshippers meekly gather; where above all else peace and harmony should prevail among the followers of the Christ Child; whose place, reared high for view near the sacred rostrum is conspicuously designed and rightly second in importance to the pulpit; why, we repeat, is the choir a place of dissension and discord oftimes? Properly, the choir should be the most sacred and peaceable department of the church, always abounding in Christian love one to another; it should be the most consecrated body of the church, the shouting ground of God's saints in the sense of giving the congregation the "Glad Tidings of Great Joy" in song, Usually, the head of a choir is the Director but nowadays the real head is some member of the choir and the director a mere figurehead instead. A real Chair Director should take no responsibility without corresponding authority as in choir management the Why use Coal or Wood?

As head, one holds an extremely difficult position, although he can best retain it by doing everything possible to secure the respect and good will of his choir members, while maintaining to the utmost the dignity of his office. The glove must cover the fingers of steel and on all matters of choir management, as upon questions of musical interpretation, his word must be law but without personal prejudice. The present-day choir is practically a little kingdom, ruled by an "autocrat" known or unknown. Too, one is sure to meet with a few "irreconcilables" whose motto is "rule or ruin." No mercy should be shown to such. They should be dropped without hesitation, and before they have had time to demoralize the membership. Such are found at times amongst the best singers, who cannot well be done without. It is far better to suffer their absence than their mischievous, disquieting, disintegrating presence. The singer has not yet been born whose presence is vital to the existence of a choir. An exhibition of dignified, courteous independence on the part of a director could possibly reform even a supposed "irreconcilable," providing of course, he is upheld by the officials of the church; otherwise his "Work is finished" then and there. Choir singers are not always humble, "preferring one another." They sometimes prefer to sit "in the highest seats" where others have been sitting. The choir seat question has occasioned much jealousy, and some trouble for choir directors. Another touchy problem in a choir is "Who sings the solo, or obligato," as assigned by the director. Much jealousy is engendered as well as hatred of another, by the constancy of assignment to one for such work and meanness spreads like a contagious General Statement of Condition of Society of Va. corporated in Va., on the 31st day of Dec. 1921 Income 1920 $ 537,736.59 712,514.15 9,901.11 29,708.93 2,633.34 $1,292,494.12 Investments $ 340,797.11 295,870.56 17,967.04 15,610.29 10,182.68 and Stationery 17,760.24 Animation Fees 5,234.70 Atts 17,467.13 Assets $720,889.75 1921 $571,604.37 $1,292,494.12 Assets $ 8,307.15 63,915.74 358,266.71 86,082.48 42,258.00 12,774.29 2,094.35 1,015.46 Accounts $9,500.00 Assets $584,214.18 Liabilities $ 30,000.00 315.00 60,412.24 70.27 7,510.00 17,400.63 468,506.04 Assets $584,214.18 Liabilities $ 30,000.00 498,506.04 2,511,894.92 B.

No member of a choir "owns any seat" nor should any soloist be made a favorite knowingly. Stage White By Quentin A Modern Cocktail in pheum, Duluth, Minneso On the evening of March 11, in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, amid sweet scented flowers and beautiful palms, and before a warm and appreciative audience, Mrs. Ella France-Jones, Lyric Soprano, of Boston and Mr. Wesley Howard, Violinist of Howard University, gave to the lovers of art a treat which has never been excelled in the city of Washington and which is long to be remembered by their hearers. The most one might write in praise of Mrs. Jones would be but an infinitesimal expression of the poise, grace, splendor and ease with which the artist rendered her entire program. Every selection was in itself a masterpiece. Her manner was pleasing, her voice was sweet, mellow, clear and full. Not too much exaltation can be given her excellent accompanist Dr. Eva B. Dykes, whose ascendency in the musical world is beyond laudable utterance. Mr. Howard a master of the violin, brought to us fond memories of the days when Clarence Cameron White and Felix Weir sathed our yearning for music of superior quality. His interpretation of Coleridge-Taylor's "Two African Dances," evidenced the great potentiality of his genius. Mr. Howard was accompanied by Mr. Charles C. Cohen, a pianist of rare distinction, under whose hand the piano seemed to echo the timber of his very soul. It is regrettable that such artists endowed with transcendental ability do not have more opportunity to manifest the "ecclat" of their inexhaustible repertoirs. We must bear in mind that music, as well as any other form of art, is not an isolated unit. It is interwoven with the society upon upon which it thrives and as we struggle for our material existence in the political and economic world, we must remember that history of civilization devotes none of its manifold chapters to races or peoples whose artistic or scientific growth is not sufficiently and characteristically pronounced to merit the suffrage of Universal elite. We must give appreciative evidences of encouragement to those who are paving the way toward the acquisition of an unexcelled musical genre worthy of admiration and imitation. We may cry for Liberty or Equality we may cry for political freedom and economic opportunity, but not until some constructive and lasting contribution of some form is made will the Muse of History lend its impartial ears to our petition. Prince Hall Chapter No. 5 O. E. S. thru its Worthy Matron, Mrs. Alma J. Scott, is to be congratulated for securing such talented artists. We know Mrs. Scott to be an untiring worker and we are fully certain that her energies are not yet exhausted.

This was the second defeat handed the Delaware boys by Armstrong this season. Blackwell, Harris and Turner played best for the locals. ALCOES DOWN CARISLES By H. Scott Meeting for the first time in four years the Alcoes and Carlisles basketball teams staged one of the fastest games of the season at Murray's palatial Casino Friday night, the former winning 25 to 19. It was a game of thrills in which long and spectacular shots featured. The terrific pace the winners set from the beginning had the "Big Five" dazed before the game had gone five minutes. Carroll, playing a great court game and accounting for 15 points, was easily the outstanding star. Kenner's floor work was good while the guarding of Morris, Neale and Graves were strong and clever. Hill played best for the losers and was ably assisted by Turner and Barber. A large crowd was out and interest was about evenly divided. Alcoes now have part claim to the city championship. Holy Name Guild being the other claimant. However there is little likelihood of the two meeting this season as Coach Lewis of the Holy Name Guild machine stated after the game that his men are "through for the season."

DRASTIC CHANGES IN FOOTBALL RULES The inter-collegiate football rules committee which met in New York last week made a number of paramount changes in the playing regulations. The most important is the rule governing the extra point after a touchdown. The free kick for goal after touchdown was abolished and in its stead a single play from line of scrimmage on or back of the 5-yard line was substituted. This play can be made by kick, rush or pass and if successful will add the additional point. 4 The new shift rule was clarified to force a man shifting to a new position to come to a full stop. This will effect the Shelbourne shift now used at Lincoln. Another change that effects Lincoln's style is the "one man in motion" regulation which was rewritten so that any player leaving the scrimmage line must be at least 5 yards behind the line when the ball is snapped. The Morrison Style at Howard seldom depends on shift plays and will suffer little from the new rulings. Other minor changes regarding clipping, the initial kick-off, darkness and many recommendations to officials were made. WILLS SELECTED BY POPULAR VOTE Below is the result of the nationwide vote taken by white newspapers in which fans were asked to select, by popular vote, the next opponent for Jack Dempsey in a heavy weight title match. Much of this voting was done in the middle west where the popularity of Gibbons is second to none and yet quite a margin separates the latter from Wills. Since his defeat by Grebs we doubt if Gibbons would poll one-half as many as listed below. Only another bit of evidence of the public's sentiment. Boy, page the N. J. Boxing Commission. ALCO TO PLAY N. Y. SEMI-PROS Fast White Team to Play Here The Alco five, Bill Carter's fast quint, are scheduled to play a semi-professional white team of New York City, Friday, March 31 at Murray's Casino. This team comes with an undaunted record and a lively game is anticipated. The Alcoes are rated as one of the fastest teams in the city. Their recent defeat of the Carlisles has given them added prestige. FIRST CALL BASEBALL BRINGS LARGE NUMBER Howard's first call for candidates for the Varsity baseball squad which was issued this week, was responded to by a large number of last year's team, including Payne, Tollet, Kean, Johnson, and a group of husky recruits who come with baseball records in High School. Practice will begin in earnest next week and the weeding out process will start. It is expected that Howard will have one of the best varsity baseball teams this year who have ever donned the "blue and white."

INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET AT HOWARD The Department of Physical Education of Howard University, following its plan to increase interest in athletics among all the students of the University, announces the First Annual Inter-Class Track Meet to be held on the campus on April 8, 1922. Contestants in the meet are to be entered by the various classes in the several departments of the University. Aside from the added interest in this athletic activity, it is expected that the holding of Inter-class track events will be a means of supplying a source for Varsity track material. All entrants in the inter-class meet are required to register under A. A. U. rules. Medals are to be awarded the winners of each event. ST. CYPRIAN MIDGETS LOOKING FOR GAMES The. St. Cyprian Midgets are now booking games and would like to hear from any and all teams between 13 and 16 years old.

PITCHERS AND CATCHERS GET GOOD WORK-OUT For the past few days the pitchers of the Lafayettes of Alexandria, Va. have had some very good training under the capable guidance of their manager, Mr. Sherman Majors. Theodore Lloyd who is the Lafayettes' main twirler, expects to spring more few-hit games this season than ever before; last year he had a very successful career. Dennis Wanzer, of cannon-ball fame, will most likely be the one to take the "Laf's" first game. Manager Majors has three or four "dark horses" which he intends to enter. MR. BENJ. WASHINGTON GIVEN TOKEN OF APPRECIATION AT THE RESIDENCE OF Mr. Edward Kenney, acting Physical Director of the Holy Name Guild, the team bearing that name presented Mr. Benjamin Washington a beautiful desk electric lamp in deep appreciation of ser- A Romance of the Big Woods.

Glowing tribute was paid to Mr. Washington during the evening by Messrs. Gordon and Kenny, of the Holy Name Guild team, McDuffie of the Dunbar High School and Westmoreland of the Armstrong High School all expressive of the satisfactory and very efficient manner in which Mr. Washington has officiated in basketball games for the past four years. It was developed during the evening that Mr. Washington had acted as referee in four years in about 150 games, representing an aggregate of 300 teams or 1500 players, and not once during this period had a game been protested or forfeited because of any official interpretations of the rules by Mr. Washington, although he had worked in six states for teams from twelve different states of the union. The Tribune congratulates the Holy Name Guild team for its commendable work in recognition of the services of our Dean of Approved Basketball Officials and in appreciation of the standard of excellence of ideals of the sport insisted upon by that official. LeDROIT TIGERS START TRAIN ING Doc West Manager of the LeDroit Tigers took his men through the first practice of the season last Monday and was well pleased with the showing of the entire squad.

TANNER BANQUETS CHURCH OFFICIALS Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, tendered on Monday night, the 6th, a reception to the members of the Official Board of the church, which consists of the Stewards, Class Leaders, Stewardesses and Local Preachers. The invitation was also extended to representatives of the Board of Trustees, Allen Christian Endeavor League and the Ushers. The menu was served in courses by members of the Stewardess board and the Ushers' auxiliary in a manner that was pleasing and gratifying to the appetite. The pastor welcomed his guests in a short speech appropriate to the occasion. He took the opportunity to thank them, the members and friends for the able and valuable assistance they had given him during almost five years of the most successful administration in the history of the church. After enumerating the many improvements made in addition to paying the bonded debt of $18,000 on the church and a mortgage of $2,000 on the parsonage, he very magnanimously said he did not take all the credit to himself, but was grateful to the officers, members and friends who had followed his leadership with their work and money to accomplish these results. The spiritual side was not lacking, there have been over 800 new members added to the church, this was not the result of any great revival, but a steady growth as the doors of the church are opened after each sermon for the reception of new members. There have been special evangelistic services each year which were a spiritual treat and help. The Sunday School increased in membership and also has a very interesting men's class. Mr. and Mrs. Roland W. Valentine entertained a large party of local and out of town guests, Sunday evening, March 12, in honor of the christening of their infant daughter, Ethel Henry.

Prof. Daniels Recovering Prof. & J. Daniels was not hit by an automobile as was reported some weeks ago but was attacked by some unknown person near the W. & O. D. railroad track, while on his way home from Zion Baptist Church, where he is organist. His assailants whose motive was robbery, being unable to get any money, left him on the tracks where he was found by two night hands of the W. & O. D. railroad. During his confinement of nine weeks, the work of the Daniels School of Muise was in charge of his associates Misses Eunice E. Thompson and Marie A. Hillery. Prof. Daniels is now able to be out again. Mrs. Mary R. Reid will substitute him as organist of Zion Baptist Church. Mass Meeting at Howard A big mass meeting will be held next Sunday afternoon at the Howard Theater under the auspices of The Citizens Business Bureau and Advertising and Industrial Club. Big Dance Wednesday Night Great Success Unquestionably one of the most interesting and spectacular affairs of the week was the offering of Messrs. Alonzo J. Collins and G. Frank Jones, last Wednesday night at the beautiful Murray Casino. This affair was the inauguration of their weekly musical "Box Revue" and featured the return of the famous "Jazzola Boys" of Wilmington, Del., supported by Sam Taylor and his Jazz Demons. Mrs. Jesse Brown of this city rendered several vocal selections to the entire satisfaction of all. So great was the hit of Mrs. Brown, that the management has offered her an unlimited engagement for the Wednesday night dances. The popular promoters of this club are the originators of these superdance attractions, offering a unique change of program each and every Wednesday night at the lowest possible cost, featuring a change of music with vaudeville and entertaining each week. They havebooked for an early appearance here some of the headliners on Broadway including Ethel Waters and others.

AN AWAKENING IN THE COLLEGES To stimulate interest in, and discussion of problems confronting the conference for Limitation of Armaments, the National Student Committee, for the Limitation of Armaments was organized. Through co-operation between the students of 235 colleges and universities and this National Student Committee, collegiate opinion has been aroused and formulated by means of debates, mass meetings, and publicity in the press. CASINO With Howard, Union and Lincoln Universities included in the association an excellent opportunity presents itself to bring the Race Question before the student body of America. Howard University has already offered for discussion, the "Disposition of the German-African Colonies," and "European Government of African Colonies." It is hoped that more of our institutions will take advantage of this opportunity, to show that there is no "fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference." [Name] MR. Z. ALEXANDER LOOBY Mr. Z. Alexander Looby, representative of Howard University who was present at the banquet and meeting of the National Student Committee, automatically became the representative of all American students of African descent.

HOWARD'S LIBRARY HAS VALUABLE BOOKS Professor E. C. Williams, Librarian of Howard University, calls attention to the wealth of information relating to the Negro people contained in what is probably the best collection of Negro Americana in the United States. The collection of Negro Americana to which Professor Williams directs attention is a part of the Howard University Library and consists of books bought by Howard University during the last fifty odd years, books given by various friends from time to time, the large Moorland Collection, and the Lewis Tappan Collection. The group consists of more than two thousand volumes. Professor Williams plans to prepare an interesting series of articles concerning the books in the collection to be published from time to time. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority On Friday evening, March tenth, the Alpha Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority gave its first entertainment for the school year. This entertainment took the form of an informal dance given at the Washington Conservatory of music on T Street. The merriment lasted from 8:30 to 12:00 P. M. and the occasion proved a delightful one for all present. The purpose of this dance was mainly to entertain the new Sorority girls. The members of the Sorority invited for their company to the dance, members of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. During a short intermission refreshments were served and the members of the Sorority took this opportunity to see that all present became acquainted with each other. Near the close of the evening's enjoyment the president of the Alpha Chapter of the Sorority, Miss Josephine Johnson used a few minutes for a very informal address. Dunbar Notes The Department of Business Practice is preparing an exhibit for graduation week, showing the work of the students, Mr. S. E. Compton is in charge of the arrangements. The health posters for the Physical Training Department are being drawn by Miss Nixon's classes in commercial design. The Easter cards designed by commercial drawing classes will be on sale soon in both the day and night school. Most of the repairs made on type-writing machines are the work of Armstrong Manual Training School students who are being trained in such work. A great saving has been effected through this agency. Mr. F. Morris Murray, of the Murray Brothers' Printing Company, addressed the Department of Business Practice at its regular assembly on Wednesday, March 15, 1922. In a very practical and instructive talk, he emphasized the necessity of choosing a business out of love for and interest in it, rather than from the hope of gaining wealth. He pointed out other essentials to success, among which he stressed: (1) the necessity for maintaining a fixed policy; (2) the importance of consistent attention to small details. His instructions relative to the principles of banking, loans, investments, and corporations, were very illuminating and helpful to an eager group who recognize in him a successful business man. G. F. A. Notes The Girls Friendship Association met on March 3, 1922 at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The meeting was opened by the vice-president with hymns and the Girls Friendship Prayer. After the opening, the several clubs separated. The roll was called and dues collected. The clubs discussed the life of Phyllis Wheatley. Games were played and then adjourned. Each and every girl is invited to join. Y.W.C.A. Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, member of the Board of Education will be the speaker at Booklovers' Hour next week. An interesting evening is assured.

A. and teacher of the Friday evening Bible class at Phyllis Wheatley, will lead an inspirational meeting at next Sunday afternoon Vespers. The Carry On Club accompanied by Mrs. N. A. Chiles and Miss King visited Mt. Alto Hospital last Sunday. Three autos were loaned by their owners to carry the party out. Besides an abundance of cheer for the soldiers among whom were a number of our own colored officers, the young women left cigarettes, chewing gum and fruit. This club is developing a wonderful spirit of social service. Mrs. McAdoo, the General Secretary, has returned from a two week vacation in Cleveland, O. A special program of music is being prepared by the educational and Library Committees for the Membership Social, March 30th. Mrs. Robert I. Dickerson, through whom the Phyllis Wheatley was secured from the War Work Council for Washington, visited the building for the first time last week and expressed herself as greatly pleased.

Miss Vivian Carter, Girls' Work Secretary of Baltimore was also a week-end guest. For Raw Sore Throat At the first sign of a raw, sore throat rub on a little Musterole with your fingers.

EDITOR'S CHAT So often it comes to my notice that some of the readers send in answers of those questions and puzzles which are easiest, and, apparently make no attempt to study the harder ones. Puz~ zles are for thought as well as for fun. Saturday evening, of last week, one Tribunite sent in answers to puzzles and questions, which showed a lack of serious thought. Remember, little friends, the race is not always to the swift. To be too swift is apt to be too careless. We are proud to note that a number of Tribunites attending Dunbar High School are placed on the “General Roll of Honor.” May you continue to keep at the head of your classes ‘and in after years, at the head of your eee Helen Payne, The answers to puz- “les appéar the week after the puzzles “appear, so do the answers to the his- {tory questions: the prize winner's list “appears two weeks after the puzzles appear.

We hope you can forward us the items before the first of April. | CARRY ME BACK TO OLD VIRGINNY “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny’ would easily be placed among the five greatest favorites of American songs. ‘This song was written by a Negro, James Bland. He was the composer of other songs none of which, though, are so popular as this one. Many songs are sectional, favorites of the North or South, but this is National in popularity. Its theme appeals to the old South while its rhythm and catchy melody appeals to everyone. It has an under- tone of sadness running through it and its haunting measures are purely racial . Tt has often caused the writer to smile when hearing a Southern gath- ering of singers, whose sentiments ate decidedly -against the Negro or anything he does or has done, lustily singing this song—the result of a black man’s endeavors. The words follow: Carry me back to old Virginny, There's where the cotton and the earn and taters grow; There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime, ‘There’s where this old darkey’s heart am longed to go; ‘There’s where I labored so hard for old massa, No place on earth do I love niore sincerely, Than old Virginny, the State where I was born. Chorus: Carry me back to old Virginny, ‘There’s where the cotton and the corn and taters grow; ‘There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime, ‘There’s where this old darkey’s heart am longed to go; Carry me back to old Virginny, ‘There let me live "till I wither and decay; Long by the old dismal swamp have I wandered, There’s where this old darkey’s life will pass away. Massa and Missus have long gone be- fore me, Soon we shall meet on that bright and golden shore; There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow, ‘There’s where we'll meet and will never part no more. NOTE: Now for some research work. Some one please send in the words of other pieces composed by James Bland.—Ed. ae: meant honor. Some years back, to be a Negro meant to be a person who had no claim to American justice, his labor was free for his master, his flesh was fe the mercy of mean men’s lashés, his soul was in darkness. Negro meant nothing but bondage. Today; Negro means civilization and progress. Why be ashamed because one’s skin is of a darker hue? | Did not God make it so? Isn't the Creator of the black peo- ple the same God we claim is just? If He is just, and he saw fit to make “us black, or Negroes, why should we be ashamed? Because we have been slaves? | | The Anglo-Saxons? Weren't one master, and slave, to the other? Let the dead past bury the dead. __Live today so that on the tomorrow Negro will not only mean progress and honor—but it will demand respect and honor from the world. First respect yourself, your home, and your race. Let every girl res- pect herself; let every boy respect every girl. Honor womanhood. It isn’t what the Negro was in years gone that we must dream of— but what the Negro is today that we may build on. We must make it greater because we passed through the world. Remember the cross and the thorns, The following narrative is a good example of how easily what is meant for scorn can be turned into honor. | “About the year 1840 Captain Jona- than Walker of Massachusetts took a | contract to build a section of a pro- | posed railroad in Florida, employing a number of Negroes in its construction. Being a Christian and kind-hearted man he treated his men with kindness, permitting them to eat at the same’ table with him, and bow at the knee| of a common heavenly Father around a common altar. As a natural conse- quence, he gained the respect and | love of his men, who in 1814 persua- | ded him to aid them in an attempt to | escape (from slavery) in an open boat to an island not far distant, belonging to England. | “All went well until the captain was taken violently sick, and the fu- | gitives having no knowledge of navi- gation, were at the mercy of the wind | and wave, until picked up by the crew | of a wrecking sloop and conveyed to Key West, when Walker was im- prisoned, until sent to Pensacola, Fla, Arriving there, he was chained | to. the floor of aicell.. , « | “In his trial in the United States | Court, he was sentenced “to be brand- /ed on the right hand with the capital | letters, ‘S. 8’; to stand in the pilory jone hour; to pay as many fines as | there were slaves ‘stolen’; to suffer |as many terms of imprisonment; to pay the costs, and to stand committed until the fines were paid.” “The execution of these sentences began at once. The initials of the |words ‘Slave Stealer’ were branded | pon his band, .... . He stood an |hour in the pillory, during which, while utterly helpless, he was pelted with rotten eggs, ... . . | “He was then sent to prison, where he remained eleven months with a heavy chain on his leg, which was | never removed even for changing his clothing. Money was. raised by his} friends to pay his fines and he was | berated in 1845. | “The effort thus made to stigmatize | and heay odium [use your dictionary at once] upon this noble hero and philanthropist, recoiled on the national Government. . .. . Whittier enshrined this event in a grand patriotic poem, and completely turned the tables, mak- ‘ing ‘S. 8.” 2 badge of’ honor indica tive of the’ ‘heroic spirit of an earlier day.’ Part of the poem follows: “Then lift that manly right hand, Bold plowman of the wave, | Its branded palm shall prophecy | Salvation to the slave; | Hold up its fire-wrought language, | That whoso reads may feel | His heart swell strong within him, His sinews changed to steel. | Hold it up before our sunshine, ‘Up against our Northern air. Ho! men of Massachusetts, For the love of God look there. Take it henceforth for your standard, Like the Bruce’s heart of yore; Wasn't it easy and right and just that “S. $”, should mean “Salvation to Slaves” rather than “Slave Steal: ers”? Because it was at first ignoble was no cause for it remaining so. Because the cross and the crown of thorns meant shame was no reason for it to remain so. Because “Negro” once meant sla- very, and slavery meant shame, does not mean that “Negro” is a name or a condition to be ashamed of. Do your share—make the word “Negro” stand for the highest stand. ard of the laws made by God. EASTER POEM We are going to give five theatre tickets for the best Easter poem sent in by April 10th.

Addresses were made by professors, educators and business- /men. The ministers also gave advice from various pulpits. We hope it has greatly benefited the people in an educational way by teaching us how to work and how to study in order to be able to earn a good living and also how to have a bank account. How to keep ahead and carry a life and fire insurance. Foreigners are said to be thrifty people, especially the Germans and the Italians. They work hard, spend little and are always trying to save in order to better their conditions. We would be wise to copy their thrifty. ways. People who live in cold climates are compelled to be more thrifty than those who live in the warmer cli- mates. Those in the cold climates must have fuel, warm clothes and a plenty to eat, while the others do not need so much and are sometimes considered lazy. We, in America, especially in this our beloved Capital city are very in- dustrious. Almost everyone earns enough money to live well. Some persons are thrifty enough to hold two jobs at the same time, but we are not always wise in the way we spend our money. Benjamin Franklin, the preacher of thrift says, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” ‘That we know it is just as impor- tant to know how to spend a dollar wisely as it is to know how to earn one or how to save one. We also know that we should live within our income, that we showd never spend money before it is earned in the at- tempt to keep up with the “Jones.” We should know that extravagance causes more trouble and worry thar anything else. ¢ Let us then learn to practice th at all times, wasting neither cur time or money but using our best energies to study and to learn so that at a future day we may be able to com- mand a good salary. I trust that our Heavenly Father will help us to spend our money wise- ly so that we may become a power- ful people. And I also hope that America may become the thriftiest nation in the world, THE QUESTION BOX Q—Are there any names Negroes in the American Hall of Fame?—G. Cc. A. A.—No. In 1920 the name of Fred- erick Douglass was submitted among the list of the fourteen names to be added that year in the Hall of Fame at New York University, the first member of the Race suggested to have his name made immortal by being placed in the colonnade at the University. ‘The April, 1920 edition of Vanity Fair, a white magazine, nominated William Stanley Braithwaite, the fa- mous critic and, poet of Boston, for a place in the American Hall of Fame. Q.—What events of interest to Ne- groes could be observed in March?— L. DeM. A.—Crispus Attucks, killed on the Sth, 1770. Harriet Tubman died on the 10th, 1918, Bishop Richard Allen died on the 26th, 1831. Fifteenth Amendment ratified on the 30th, 1870. - Q—Is Wm. H. Holtzclaw a Negro author?—Mr. E B. A—Yes, His best known work. is “The Black Man's Burden.” Q—Who was Floyd Dunston?— K. Ss. A.—Floyd Dunston was a composer. He was born in 1882, He went to Berlin im August 1902 and made ar- rangements to study under Godowsky the following season. He died in a Berlin hospital of typhoid fever, April 6, 1903. Q.—Who was Oroonoko?—L. A. J. A.—Oroonoko is the hero of a story by that name, written by Aphra Behn.

Capital and the person to manage the laundry should also be readily obtained. Laundering is an industry in which our people are adept and one that can be successfully run by our group that does not need to cater wholly to the race for patronage. As an evidence of the possibilities in the laundry here, we present herewith a report made to the Rotary Club Wednesday night. It keeps twenty local laundries busy, employing 2,100 people, and costs the citizens of the District more than $4,000,000 annually, to keep clean, according to statistics given by Fred W. McKenzie of the Tolman laundry, before members of the Rotary Club at the New Willard Hotel Mr. Tolman, who was the first secretary of the local Rotary Club, detailed the workings of the up-to-date laundry, and cited a few figures showing that the local laundries do each year some 8,500,000 collars, 2,000,000 shirts, 75,000,000 pieces of bed and table linen, 15,000,000 pieces of body clothing and 4,000,000 lace curtains and blankets. "The average family wash is 'done' by eight girls." Mr. McKenzie said, "who work at conveyors very much like the methods employed in the assembly of automobiles. It takes approximately twenty-five minutes for a family wash to run the gantlet of these eight girls." This does not include the work that is being done by the many Chinese laundries, of which there are possibly a hundred. Therefore, there is more than $4,000,000 spent here annually for laundry work and we should be doing at least a million dollars worth of this business. Four laundries with $25,000 plants could be located here that would not only give employment to capital and employees but, properly managed, would control a large amount of this $4,000,000. MARYLAND CITIZENS TAKE UP VITAL PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1) populated with a large, growing and intelligent colored group. These people are becoming restless under unkept promises and are discussing the possibility and probability of putting up men of their own race for Congress in the election this fall. Cooperation, race pride and persistent effort are the topics before the colored people of Maryland; the spirit of the meeting of the Citizens Welfare League last Tuesday night at Bowie may spread over the State which will result in the colored people of the State realizing their opportunity and using it to the best advantage. SCHOOL BOARD RESCINDS PART OF RESOLUTION SCHOOL BOARD RESCINDS PART OF RESOLUTION (Continued from page 1) the autonomy of the respective school systems. "The proposed libraries are not school libraries, but are to be branches of the public libraries located in school buildings. The professional conduct of the branch libraries is regulated and controlled by a part of the staff of the public library; appointments and transfers are to be made by the public librarian. "The resolution made recommendations to the appointing power requesting that in libraries established in buildings used by white children that the library appointees should be white persons and those located in buildings attended by colored children the appointees should be colored persons; and merely provided that the same policy should be observed in the branch libraries that obtains at the central, that is that patrons shall have free access to any of the libraries without regard to race or color. "I am sure it was not thought by the members of the Board and I know it was not thought by the author of the resolution, that there was any vice or injury in that provision." "The libraries are presumed to serve the convenience of the pupils and the community and if patrons go into the public library to receive books without regard to color, why should the Board assume there would be any friction or conflict in receiving similar service at a branch library." "There is not and has never been any friction attendant upon children of the two races standing at the counter of the central library to receive books; nor is there any record of any friction where children of the two races go to a book store to purchase books." ```markdown ``` 8 pune has called attention to the center business and thereby im- The laundry industry is an open engton.
