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 The part of the resolution rescinded reads as follows: "it being understood and required by the Board of Education that the same policy that obtains at the central library, that is, patrons shall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) Additional Theatre News (Continued from Page 4) "The Millionaire" At Dunbar Theater, Fri. and Sat. After years of more or less hard work in a small office, Jack Norman has fallen in love with Kate Blair, the Bookkeeper. On the morning Simon Fisher discharges him, he is notified that he has fallen heir to eighty million dollars, the estate of Silas Gyde, who is a complete stranger. After many mysterious adventures, Norman learns that Gyde loved his mother, and had never married, and that he watched over the young man's career since his birth.

Directed by HODKINSON Courtesy HODKINSON PUBLISHED 'The Journey's End' At Dunbar Theater, Mon. & Tues.. A charming young girl has been educated in a Roman convent. The death of her aunt leaves her alone in the world except for an uncle in the United States. Not knowing where else to turn, she comes to America. Here, in a mining town in Pennsylvania, a distressingly crude home awaits her with the uncle and his slovenly wife, who is addicted to drink. The situation becomes intolerable. In a moment born of despair, and of impulsive gratitude towards the only person who has shown her sympathy and understanding, she marries one of the iron-workers. They are obviously mis-mated, and when the "other man," the Millowner, her social and mental equal, enters her life, there follows the struggle between loyalty to husband and child, and the call of love. Finding it impossible to continue with her husband, and yet unwilling to go to the other man, the girl leaves with her child, determined to earn her own living.

His first effort is to run down the gang which murdered his uncle. This is the theme of the story. He persuades an actor friend to become Jack Norman, and with him as a foil, and Kate Blair steadying his every move Norman, after many thrilling and romantic adventures, finally runs the gang to earth.

The opportunity is provided when, after the collapse of a building, the Iron-worker changes identities with a tramp killed in the accident. The story reaches its climax in a dramatic moment in the Roman catacombs, where the Girl, on her honey-moon, after the supposed death of her first husband, is suddenly confronted by the Iron-worker, who has by a strange but logical sequence of events, become one of the lay brothers acting as guide in the catacombs. His first reaction is the passion of jealousy. He is prevented from throttling the girl by the intervention of the Mill-owner. Before the struggle has gone far, the Iron-worker falls exhausted to the ground. His flare of fury is over. The shock of thus meeting the woman he had so greatly loved is too much for his already weak heart. His last moments are blessed for him by the presence of his beloved, and with her hand held close in his, he passes into the Great Beyond, while a vista of happy life opens up for the girl and her husband. Will play at Dunbar Theater, Monday to Thursday, March 20 to 23. and with the training she has always followed, has kept herself in fine physical trim. In "Don't Get Personal," the Universal special attraction which brings her in a stellar performance to the Hiawatha Theater next Monday and Tuesday, the 20th and 21st, she shows that acting, however, and not the display of a shapely figure, is what the fates intended for her. In the Universal comedy-dramas in which she has starred since leaving the beach queen comedy ranks, she has displayed a talent and cleverness that makes one wish that she hadn't stayed in the bathing beauty class so long. When she was discovered by Mack Sennett during a visit she paid to one of his actresses one day, she joined the beauty squadron formed by Gloria Swanson, Phyllis Haver and Mary Thursman. Like them she eventually graduated into the dramatic star class. But she'll always be glad that she spent her early girlhood developing her nearly perfect figure until she knew no peer in the beauty class on the screen. For in the comedy-dramas such as "Don't Get Personal," besides the constant semi-display of the form occasioned by women's fashions of today, there is a scene now and then requiring more than ordinary THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 beauty to "put it over."

When a man is kept waiting an hour for breakfast while his wife is enjoying an ultra-luxurious toilette, he is more than apt to get sore. That is why Anatol DeWitt Spencer was peeved and when Vivian, his wife, sought to mollify him with kisses, his anger grew. But Vivian did not reflect that there might be too much "honey in the honeymoon," or perhaps she might have acted differently. At the famous Green Room Cafe, where Anatol, Vivian and Max Runyon, a family friend, were dining, Anatol recognizes in Emilie Dixon, a thoughtless young woman and protegee of Gordon Bronson, a wealthy roue, a companion of his school days. When he learns the truth, he tries to reform her by providing her with a richly appointed apartment. When she kisses him, he obtains from her a promise to throw the gems given her by Bronson, into the river. She hides the jewelry and together they cast the empty cases into the river, and Emilio proceeds to make merry with her friends at which champagne flows freely. Anatol interrupts the festivities, orders the guests out and wrecks Emilie's apartment. As Emilie returns to Bronson, Anatol is taken into the country where they might be free from hypocrisy and frail men and women. But meanwhile, Annie Elliott, wife of a church treasurer, confesses.

DeMILLE'S PRODUCTION "The Affairs of Anatol" With an all Star Cast Dunbar Players in "THE STORM" At The Howard Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond To Appear in Great Emotional Play Week of March 20th One of the greatest hits in the past twenty years "The Storm" will be the attraction at the Howard Theater all next week by the Dunbar Players. For a SOLID YEAR "The Storm" played at the 48th Street Theater, New York City. Six months at the Olympic Theater, Chicago, seven weeks in Brooklyn, New York (which established a record for the latter city) and six weeks at the Manhattan Opera House, New York City. Greatest Success in 20 Years No matter where "The Storm" has been presented it has created new records for theater attendance. This play, while a melodrama, is one of the most convincing and human melodramas written and produced in the past decade. The curtain rises on a forest primeval and it is in this beautiful spot that the action of the play takes place. The story tells of a young girl, Manette Fachard, an appealing young French Canadian, who, because of the death of her father and a terrific blizzard—which is one of the big scenic effects of the play—is forced to remain up in a cabin in this woods with a rugged Western American and an Englishman. Both profess love for her, but she realizes if she admits love for one the other will kill him. Her problem is to keep these men apart and maintain peace. Affairs develop to such an extent that she realizes sooner or later the storm of emotions in the breasts of the men will burst all bounds. She plans to escape, but the forest fire circumvents her. How she solves her problem is best left to the author who has written a play tense with thrilling situations, relieved by delightful scenes of bubbling humor. Startling Forest Fire The Forest Fire, devised by the author of the play, is the most stupendous and spectacular effect ever attempted in the theater. And while it is a thriller in every sense of the word, the opening of the last act, showing the devastation of the giant stage forest is equally convincing and realistic. One Day Last Week By Jay Bee NOTE: This episode is being prepared on Sunday, as the bunk editor lies in the hay, languid beyond description from pottin' 'roun' trying to dig up something for the "one-day-last-week" readers. If you find it disinteresting, just read on and on until you find something that you like.—Conductor. Hiked from home to the office. Looked over some mail, consisting mostly of Y. M. C. A. membership campaign circulars. I am positive that I have received far more than my share. If every prospective member has received as many circulars as I have; I am sure that the city postoffice must have been a dog-goned busy place. Out and on the Bullyvard, headed Howard Theatreward, with a few stopover privileges. Climbed into one of Hip-Toe's chairs for a shoe massage. This bird's real name is Mr. James Bell, K. B. B. The K. B. B. stands for "King of Bootblacks." He was acclaimed "king" several years ago. The writer was present at the coronation. His patrons include some of the city's most fastidious young ladies. Besides, he's a Tribune booster of no mean ability. Came Wellington Adams, the well-known musician, with mud-bespattered boots. He peeped in and finding all the chairs filled, he blew, curving in the direction of his music shop on 9th Street. Mr. Adams is the editor of Music Forum of the Tribune and he is a prominent figure in community center work. Jogging on, I observed Cobbler Thornton Anderson, proprietor of the Howard Rapid Shoe Repair Shop. He was peggin' away, with his mouth full of shoe nails. He was afraid to speak, for fear of swallowing these nails, which, at this time, are considerably high; so he waved his hammer. During the recent war, Thornton and his brother, Horace, with shops at Camp Meade and in the city, contracted to keep the feet of several thousand of Uncle Sam's men up off the ground. And believe me, they did so creditably. This shoe evangelist has been saving soles at his present location for a number of years. That just reminds me, he was one of the founders of the original Spaulding Club, one of the city's smartest, during the early 1900's. No, I do not have any idea how old the gent is and if I did know, you don't think that I would state it here, do you? Here's the roster of that famous club: James B. Lomack, well-known local warbler; his brother, Charles S. Lomack, chaplain of the James E. Walker Post; Leonard Tate, one of the "Doves"; Bill Bailey, Bill Doo, Tony Branch, Lloyd and Bennie Freeman. They were the "good old days" of real sport. Ask any of these birds. No, the Ogle Brothers, who you see "parking" there so regularly are not connected with the firm. They are just "corn-stant" buddies of the boss of the ranch. Bob and the writer soldiered together in the High School Cadets, when on the occasion of one competitive drill, we pranced to the tunes of the U. S. Marine Band. Truth, indeed. Bob is also a special political writer for the Tribune and his prognostications rarely ever go amiss. Stopped at Napper's to swop a dime for a twisted white owl. This pharmacy never sleeps. The midnight noon hour here is the time for most of its heaviest business. It is the only race medicine mill that keeps open house all night. Doc Napper because of his generosity, is a popular favorite with the cakie parkers, who are booked there for solid runs. At the Howard at last. Finding the main entrance locked, I slipped around to the Wiltberger (not Limburger) entrance. Men, with wheel-barrows were hauling out great loads of rubbish, that had been assigned to dumps by the "Director General" F. M. M. Back of the stage resembled a modern Pullman car with private compartments. The erstwhile dressing room being occupied by chartered members of the Grand United Order of Never Sweats. One gentleman, well-known in the corn-cracking circles, occupied an exclusive berth in one of the furnaces and seemed to be resting quite comfortably. A lump of coal, wrapped up in a piece of newspaper served as a pillow. On being aroused, he became very indignant. Accosted McKenny Williams a former "lieutenant" in the Y. M. C. A. "army" during the recent war. McKenny hails from Providence, R. I. and if Providence is good and kind to him, he expects to hail back there some day. For several months, he pounded a typewriter in the National Benefit Insurance office. At present, he is wearing out one in Freddie Wilkinson's office up on the hill. Freddie Wilkinson, a class-mate, is the registrar at Howard University and in his spare time, he is preparing to practice law. There's Ed Brooks over there blazin' away as usual. Ed holds the record for jabber marathons. He is one of Washington's popular "old boys." For a number of years, he was an indispensable fixture at the Parker-Bridget Store. One summer's evening, I was "toting" a quart of ice cream home, when I met this bird. He wound up. Put on a record. When he finished, I was holding a quart of milk. That's how good he is. Even so, He's my boy. Slipped home, put on a feed-bag and returned to the Casino, where a basketball game between the Alcos and the Carlisles was to be played. Presented my press police credentials to a tight gentleman, who was entirely unfamiliar with the usual custom of doing things. This sap raved until he became sane again. When he did, I found myself at the press table, where sat Williams, Stump Lewis, Sport Scribe Scott of the Tribune and two other sages. Little Benny Washington and Mouse Johnson were the official bosses and did not take any back talk. The game was a thriller from start to finish. There were a lot of good-lookers on hand to cheer the boys on.

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.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 disease. A good plan is to change the seating of the choir at stated intervals, as well as assigning special parts to another occasionally. 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.

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. The following players have signed a three year contract with the Midgets: Captain Joseph Smith; Walter Harris; William Jackson; Jerome Diggs; Charles Brown; J. Grant; William Brown; Milton Fowler; Clarence Spriggs; Herbert Betters; Roosevelt Hall; Rudolph Johnson; Arthur Bush; and John Qeen. Captain Smith is determined to have a good team this year.

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.

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.

Among the candidates there are seven pitchers, two first basemen, 4 second basemen, 2 short stops, 2 third basemen, 7 outfielders, and 1 catcher. The hardest problem to solve is the development of a right fielder, and unless some of the new comers show rare form they will have trouble trying to oust the regulars.

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.

A vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson Mr. Henry Valentine, the baby's grandfather stood as godfather and Miss Warren as godmother and Miss Nancy Valentine of Baltimore, Md., as proxy for Mrs. Ethel Vandavell, who is in Waco, Texas.

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. On Friday evening March 10, at 8 o'clock Miss Samuetta Simms entertained relatives and friends with an elaborate party at her residence on 15 Street, N. W.

A. to Hold Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Howard University branch of the Young Men's Christian Association will be held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Sunday evening, April 2, at 4:30 o'clock.

The game was played with lots of pep. The Diamonds played an excellent game, but they lacked shooters. Turk Sewell of the Diamonds is one of the best shooters in the university, but the able defense of the Beavers prevented his operation. 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. In addition Mr. Looby has served as class president, class and varsity debater, is now president of the Student Council and an active member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.

The Fraternity was organized at Howard University in January, 1914. It has twenty chapters and an enrollment of one thousand members. Among some of the worthy phases of work undertaken by the Fraternity this year is the calling of an InterFraternity Conference of the several general fraternities and sororities. This conference will convene in Washington April 20-22. The Fraternity is also raising a Douglass Scholarship with which to aid worthy students to obtain an education. HOWARD'S LIBRARY HAS VALUABLE BOOKS Professor E. C.

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.

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.

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. Puzzles 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 professions. Helen Payne, The answers to puzzles appear the week after the puzzles appear, so do the answers to the history questions: the prize winner's list appears two weeks after the puzzles appear. Some weeks this has been mixed but it is the rule. The notice you mention was made in the first issues of the paper. Mary Thomas, your note received. 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 undertone of sadness running through it and its haunting measures are purely racial. It has often caused the writer to smile when hearing a Southern gathering of singers, whose sentiments are decidedly against the Negro or anything he does or has done, lustily singing this song—the result of a black man's endeavors. 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; There's where I labored so hard for old massa, No place on earth do I love more sincerely, Than old Virginny, the State where I was born. Chorus: There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime. There's where this old darkey's heart am longed to go; Long by the old dismal swamp have I wandered Massa and Missus have long gone before 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. Negro Before the crucifixion of Christ the cross and the wreath of thorns meant scorn and shame. After the crucifixion the cross and the wreath of thorns 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 at the mercy of mean men's lashes, 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? 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 respect 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 Jonathan Walker of Massachusetts took a contract to build a section of a proposed 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 consequence, he gained the respect and love of his men, who in 1814 persuaded 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 fugitives having no knowledge of navigation, 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 imprisoned, until sent to Pensacola, Fla. Arriving there, he was chained to the floor of a cell. . . "In his trial in the United States Court, he was sentenced "to be branded on the right hand with the capital letters, 'S. S.'; to stand in the pilory one 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 upon his hand, . . . . 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 liberated in 1845. "The effort thus made to stigmatize and hearodium [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, making 'S. S.' a badge of honor indicative 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; In the dark strife closing round you, Let the hand be seen before." Wasn't it easy and right and just that "S. S". should mean "Salvation to Slaves" rather than "Slave Stealers"? 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 slavery, 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 standard 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 businessmen. 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 climates.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 industrious. 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 important 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 should never spend money before it is earned in the attempt to keep up with the "Jones." We should know that extravagance causes more trouble and worry than anything else. Let us then learn to practice thrift at all times, wasting neither our time or money but using our best energies to study and to learn so that at a future day we may be able to command a good salary. I trust that our Heavenly Father will help us to spend our money wisely so that we may become a powerful 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. C. H. A.—No. In 1920 the name of Frederick 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 famous critic and poet of Boston, for a place in the American Hall of Fame. Q.—What events of interest to Negroes could be observed in March?—L. DeM. A.—Crispus Attucks, killed on the 5th, 1770. Harriet Tubman died on the 10th, 1913. 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. S. A.—Floyd Dunston was a composer. He was born in 1882. He went to Berlin in August 1902 and made arrangements 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. He was an African and a prince of Coromantien, and being fooled into slavery, he incited a rebellion. He was treacherously murdered by some soldiers. The author claims that all of the incidents of this story are true. Clean teeth aids in keeping the breath sweet.

From time to time The Tribune has called attention to the opportunities for our group to enter business and thereby improve our economic condition. The laundry industry is an open one for our group in Washington. Our people are already employed in the various laundries of the city and the obtaining of experienced help would be easy. 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.
