MORE TROUBLE IS NARROWLY AVERTED AT FLA. AVENUE CHURCH
Many People Rush Out of the Church During the Excitement
DEACON LANGHORN SPEAKS
District Auditor Soon to begin Taking Testimony in the Case
More serious trouble was narrowly averted at Florida Avenue Baptist Church last Sunday. Many people rushed out of the church when some of the members began to hurl threats at Deacon Langhorn.
The trouble started during church services. After the completion of preaching, Rev. Taylor the pastor, whose administration is now badly twisted in the courts, asked if there was any one who desired to join the church. At the call, several small children came forward. In the usual way of accepting members in the church, the pastor called for any objections. At this point, Chairman of the Deacon Board, Deacon Langhorn, stood up and voiced his objection.
Deacon Langhorn said that he did not rise to object to the taking in of the children, because he would not object to any one joining church, but that he objected to people, and especially children, being taken into church without knowing the true status of the conditions of that church. He then told them that the church's affairs were now in court for proper adjustment, and that the pastor had no authority to take any one into the church, because he was not recognized as being the true official of the church, as there was now an issue on this question. Deacon Langhorn objected to him trying to pose in this capacity, until the court had decided on the matter.
Rev. Taylor interjected, it is alleged that he did not think that it was the proper time and place for the deacon's statements. Some members in the church yelled out while deacon Langhorn was talking, "throw him out," "sit down" and etc. At this point, many of those present became excited and knowing of the results of previous controversies at the church, began to rush out. However, no one was injured.
After matters quieted down, the children were taken into the church over the objection. The District Auditor who is to find out if there was a vote taken to oust the pastor on Dec. 16th heard arguments by the council on both sides last Thursday. An early date in April has been set for the taking of testimony.

Washington Family Bakery Famous for Quality of Goods It Turns Out
Macaroons and Light Lunches a Feature at New U St. Store
The opening of the Washington Family Bakery in its new quarters at 1351 U Street, Saturday, marked the advancement of this wide awake commercial enterprise. Nineteen months ago, Mr. A. J. Fullwood, then an assistant chef in one of the large hotels here, decided to enter business for himself. He started by opening a small bakery in the twenty hundred block on 14th Street, N. W., with five persons employed.
In speaking of the beginning, Mr. Fullwood said: "I felt that our people would purchase bread from a colored man as well as from the white merchant, if the bread was worth buying. We opened with the intention of giving the best for a little less than the high prices ranging at that time. Our pastry has outstripped our bread. When we first began we would make about fifty dozen macaroons a week; now we sell more than 2,000 dozen a week. And our cakes are selling in proportion. I think our macaroons have made us famous."
The Washington Family Bakery makes extra large macaroons, and they have met with increasing success. They are only 25 cents per dozen and the white customers are making a run on them. Their bread is a full pound loaf for 8 cents and hot rolls twice a day for 15 cents per dozen. In connection with the bakery, a delicatessen and lunch room is maintained. Their 40 cent lunch is attracting attention while the 55 cent club sandwiches are bringing increased numbers as customers. Mr. Fullwood has selected the "Old Log Cabin Sweets" for his candy department. In addition to the place on U Street, The Washington Family Bakery opened a branch at 1427 P Street, N. W., last December. It is doing a thriving business.
COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE ELECTS SECRETARY
The Board of Governors of the Commercial exchange met on the 17th at Plymouth Church to take measures to put the Exchange on a firm basis. Mr. R. C. Edmondson, the president, presided and made a report on recent progress. By vote the office of secretary was declared vacant and Mr. William A. Joiner was elected secretary. Until further notice the headquarters of the Exchange will be at the office of Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell, 1232 U Street, at which place through the courtesy of Mr. Mitchell, the Board of Governors will hold their meetings. Two important committees were appointed; one on membership, with Mr. Joiner as chairman, and the second under the chairmanship of Mr. Mitchell to revise the by laws. The meeting was harmonious and short. Devoid of speechmaking. The executive officers of the Commercial Exchange authorize the following statement:
The plans contemplate a membership of the Exchange composed of persons representing all of the worthy commercial, social, and professional activities of the people in this vicinity with a number of branches. The Exchange expects to secure a suitable building for its home, equipped to accommodate its executive offices and working committees, also with space for the meetings of its general members. The Commercial Exchange is planned to be a popular institution: every worthy man and woman will be invited to share its benefits.
Mr. Wm. A. Joiner, its new secretary, is well known in Washington as a man of character, ability and a large experience in managerial affairs.

PROF. HART REMOVED FROM HOWARD LAW SCHOOL FACULTY
STRESSESNEEDOF NEW SYSTEM OF RACE EDUCATION SAVING STAMPS
Prof. W. H. H. Hart has been dismissed from Howard University Law School as of March the 10th.
Prof. Hart's troubles began in December, when he published an open letter lauding the president of the University and denouncing the colored members of the Trustee Board and faculty.
On the 14th of January, Prof. Hart wrote a letter in defense of Luther Boddy of New York, who killed two detectives near the prison there. The sentence that stuck deepest into the pride of the Law Committee of the Trustee Board was this: "I think Mr. Boddy the finest, cleverest, decentest, most worthy and high-toned gentleman in all the State of New York."
Prof. Hart anticipated the action of the Board of Trustees and repudiated this statement before the board it is alleged. Since the Board met in February, another statement was
That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro education is the substance of an interview given out by Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of the twenty-eight State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South adds significance to his statement, which follows in full.
"The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immeasurable loss to the country. It has affected not only the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the Negro population is greatest, but has likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has injured the morale of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be estimated, nor can we form any estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing his ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."
MUSICIANS ORGANIZE UNION HERE
Prof. James E. Miller, 1816 Eleventh St., N. W. and director of the Community Centers Band of this city, is now organizing the Musicians Protective Association, which will be affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians.
Many prominent in Musical circles here have become affiliated with the Association and are rapidly getting new members to join. The officers of the new Union, which is known as local 710, are: Mr. Alexander Myers,
PROF. JAMES E. MILLER
published which said that Prof. Hart had defied the Trustees regarding the Boddy statement and in the meeting of March 10, the Law Committee, composed of five of the Trustees, recommended his discharge as of the 10th, with his salary to be continued thru this school term. Prof. Hart has been connected with the Law School from its inception, about thirty years ago. In fact, it was thru the efforts of Mr. Hart, with Senator Evarts of Vermont, who introduced the bill that made the law school possible. Speaking of the Board of Trustees in his December letter, Prof. Hart said: "What is really needed is that the Negroes on the Board of Trustees, one and all, be removed for good and all from that board which they serve only to hamper and embarrass, and be replaced by white educators of public spirit."
Automatic savings banks have been installed in the Garnett-Patterson, Summer, Mott and Garrison schools, by the Industrial Savings Bank, and they have proved to be a magnet for the pennies, dimes and quarters of the children. These banks are an improvement on the stamp system that was installed in various cities of the country last year. There is also one in the lobby of the Industrial bank.
The principle of the automatic savings bank is simple. All a child is required to do to open an account, is to place a coin in the correct slot, push in the lever and "presto" a pretty little stamp of the denomination of the coin deposited, bobs up. The stamp is pasted onto a cardboard folder, until the amount reaches $5.00 when the child takes it to the Industrial Bank and is given credit for the amount of the stamps represented in the folder, on a regular savings account, which draws 3 per cent interests. The child thereby becoming a bank depositor and a "thrift child."
The automatic bank has four coin slots. One each for pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters. Since the installation of the banks, the teachers have noticed an intense interest in thrift and the desire to see who can save the largest amount. "How much have you in the bank?" is an oft repeated question.
John W. Lewis, the president of the Industrial, says that by encouraging the children to save and be thrifty, he may reach some of the parents and that the child will become a friend of the Industrial and a permanent depositor when it obtains its majority. "I want to encourage my people to save money and to concentrate it where it can render a service to them," said Mr. Lewis. "We felt that this stamp system would be a novel way of driving home a tremendous economic truth; therefore, we have placed these five automatic banks on trials and if they prove successful, we shall establish more of them next school term."
Pres.; Mr. Edward Minor, Vice-Pres.; Mr. Chas. E. Lewis, Secy.; Mr. Percy Roy, Treas.; Willie J. Bigby, Sergt at Arms; Prof. James E. Miller, Business Representative.
A Board of Directors composed of 17 men will direct the affairs of the Union. In addition to the officers, the following men are members of the board: Mr. Edward Harris, Chair.; Mr. Russell Wooding, Lewis Thomas, Roscoe Lee, John E. Moore, William Jones, Carroll Boyd, Willie Robinson, Wm. Reeves and James Smith.
In speaking of the benefits the local musicians will derive from joining the union, Prof. Miller said: "We will aim to obtain better working conditions for the men; more protection for them and also protection for the people who employ them."
As Washington is one of the centers for Musical talent for our people, the union here will attempt to set an example for the other cities.

Congressmen Dyer and Walter White Addressed Large Crowd Last Week
National Association Meeting at John Wesley Church Great Success
"It is a sad situation for our country, the supposed leader of Democracy, when a friendly foreign government refuses to return a citizen of the United States to this government because of its reputation for mob violence and inhuman treatment of its citizens and the absolute failure to give to certain citizens a fair deal before the law," said Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., while relating his experience in the recent Bullock case, in Canada. Mr. White was the first speaker at the mass meeting March the 16th at John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, held under the auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Speaking of the Dyer AntiLynching Bill, Mr. White said: "Colored people have the greatest opportunity that they have ever had to put the Republicans on record as to just how they stand on the question of human rights. There is already, a general revolt of our people all over the country against the hypocrisy of the Republican party and the theot is that we must not support men who are not favorable to us. We have gotten to the place where we must do for ourselves and quit looking so much to the other fellow."
Congressman L. C. Dyer followed Mr. White and said: "It was a great humiliation to the United States and to the State of North Carolina not to have Bullock returned, but it is deserved humiliation because this country has not curtailed mob violence and Canada justly retained a man to prevent his being lynched."
Concerning State Rights, Mr. Dyer said: "The South harps on State Rights but I say that State Rights are very small when compared with human rights. This is the greatest issue for human rights and for law and order since the days of Lincoln, and if the Republican party does not pass this bill for equal rights and equal opportunities, then it deserves the condemnation of the pepole. The people have a right to look to the Republican party for the passage of this bill. It is the party in power and it is the party that is responsible for it has a very large majority in both Houses of Congress."
The Church was packed to its capacity.

LITTLE BOY PAINFULLY HURT
Little Eugene Pullman, aged 10 years of 2739-A Sherman Ave., N. W., suffered the loss of part of his foot in an unusual accident on Georgia Ave., last Tuesday.
Young Pullman, along with some other boys, was on his way to Miner Normal School, where he is a student of the 4-A grade.According to witness, the group of children were crossing the street, but had to wait for a street car to pass; while waiting, an automobile came and scattered them. Little Pullman, it is claimed, ran alongside the car and lost his balance and fell, the car running over his foot.
The number of neither the car nor the motorman, nor the name of the driver of the automobile was obtained.

Story is Taken from the Sixth Chapter of the Revelations
The Clergy and laymen are urged to see the marvelous picturization of "The Four Horsemen" of whom St. John speaks in Revelations, Chapter 6, verses 1 to 8. The vivid prophecy is brought to our very doors, to our own eyes, in all its terribleness at the Howard Theatre, March 26 to March 31, beginning each day at 3:30 p. m., 6:30 p. m., and 9:30 p. m.
The Dudley-Murray Corporation will introduce an awe-inspiring feature in connection with the presentation of this great picture.
A herald in flowing robes of white and purple will each afternoon and evening before the picture starts recite St. John's terrible prophecy. The artistic effect of a darkened theater with the words of the prophet floating out over the audience just before the picture comes on the screen will prove heart-stirring and dramatic. A Howard University student who has won considerable praise for his histrionic efforts during the year has been invited to do this bit of dramatic reading.
Special music by augmented orchestra under the direction of Prof. Geo. E. Battle at each show.
Revelation; Chapter 6, verses 1 to 8, read as follows:
1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2. And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4. And there went out another horse that was red; and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and there was given unto him a great sword.
5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8. And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him, was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
SCHOOL STARTS DRIVE HERE
The Manassas Industrial School, for Colored Youth, of Manassas, Virginia is now conducting one of the most unique educational campaigns for funds in the history of that institution. Churches, motion picture houses, social organizations, clubs, schools and the press are being turned into outposts to help swell the funds which Washington desires to raise for the school which is in financial difficulty. This drive is gigantic in its extent and the managers and owners of theatres as well as the clergy have pledged their support.

By Jay Bee
Up before old Sol arose, and out, bound for the water front, where dwell the storm-tossed fishermen, in quest of food that would be in keeping with the observance of the Lenten season. Passed by Robert Palmer's gas-wagon boarding house in Barry Place. Peeped in and observed a number of inscriptions, painted in bold letters upon the walls. Some of the inscriptions read as follows: "Keep Your Hands Off of the Other Fellow's Car," "No Visitors Allowed During Business Hours" and another, which may be one of the secrets of Mr. Palmer's meteoric success, read, "Service is Paramount Here." Mr. Palmer is apparently doing nicely in his line. He deserves the unstinted support of every race owner of gas buggies.
Got aboard one of the LeDroit-Park Toonerville trolley cars. Had to wait until the crew (motorman and conductor—one man) finished his breakfast. On reaching the wharves and alighting from the flatwheeler, I was besieged by a gang of men, each armed with short bladed knives. On the left hand, each wore fingerless gloves with stout leather palms. "Want some shucked, mister?" one asked. Another queried, "Goin' to git some shucked, mister?" "Get what shucked?" I asked. "Oysters, man, oysters," they all answered in concert. "Nope," I answered, "I am just looking for some white perch fish for breakfast," and jogged on.
Grabbing another one of these one-man-drive vehicles, I reached home, where I assumed the role of chef.
Put on a mean sack and ducked out again afoot, headed toward the Carnegie Library. There were few persons of color in the reading room. In the children's room, there were quite a number of colored kiddies busily engaged in reading and exchanging books. The benches in the park, which adjoins the Library, were all filled with "ne'er-do-wells," bench-heaters, professional loungers, pee-eves and hawkers.
Strolled from the Library to the Dudley Booking Offices where I met a very charming young lady from "Chi." Was knocked down to her by Miss Des Barnett, the office manager. Miss Hyde, the lady from "Chi" is a secretary to Rube Foster the Colored baseball magnate. She is also one of the society editors of Bob Abbott's Chicago Defender. Got some theatrical done and blew out.
Aboard a 7th street car, going north, I observed a bone-chaser, which I immediately recognized as the property of Miss Barnett. I felt confident that the owner or some other attache of the office was aboard the car, but close inspection soon proved that the hound in question was a passenger of his own volition (if you please) and was unaccompanied. He answers to the name of "Nebo." When the car stopped at 7th and T streets, he like all other passengers, got off and walked in the direction of his home on Westminister street. Whether car tokens sell six for 40 cents or three for 20 cents, it means nothing in Nebo's young life. The writer was informed that Nebo rides to and from his service place daily.
Stopped at Sam Coles, the garment maker, on 7th street. Sam and three other tailors were busy making some snappy looking togs for Easter paraders. His show windows also contain some nobby looking sky-pieces for ladies, but I am a bit dubious as to whether Sam has gone into the millinery business, but I would not be surprised if he has. You see, Sam comes of a family of undertakers and it may be that he has undertaken to do a little millinery business as well.
Though early in the evening, a gay crowd of picture bugs already were swarming around the entrance of the Dunbar, waiting to see "A Man's Home." Had no idea that there were so many people, who would be interested in a picture, bearing such a title.
There was a mad rush for the Howard Supper Show, where, "What Do Men Want?" a picture, far above the ordinary, was being shown. Needless to say, the "one-day-last-week" muss gatherer joined the gang. Twas a wonderful picture and everybody seemed pleased.
By the way, if you have not been over to the Howard lately, you should go over and take a squint at the numerous changes that have taken place since the new management has taken charge. The entire personnel, with few exceptions, has been changed. Mrs. Scott, the smiling ticket-clerk of the previous regime is still showing out waste-board cards to patrons.
Visited several weekly frolics at the various dance salons. There seems to be a dickens of a big slump in business. Promoters are squawking loudly. Some of the promoters seem to think that the Lenten season is the prime cause of the lack of patronage,

THE CHOIR DIRECTOR
The Director is the musical head of a choir, and as such should show an interest in all parts of the public services. He should cultivate friendly relations with his clergy. He should know his subject and how intelligently to present it so as to sustain interest on the part of his choir. There is an art of teaching as well as an art of singing, and he should know how to do either of them. He should study the literature thereof, and as well the best works on applied psychology.
The Director cannot know too much of music generally. Harmony, counterpoint, musical form, composition and the history of vocal music should form a part of his musical knowledge. Still, there are those who direct that know but little of these subjects, if any at all. Directors whose training cover such broad preparation are indeed, few in number. Teaching notes, pitches and time without regard to variation of power, does not make for the highest grade of choral work. Another essential requirement is that of musical quality of tone, depending of course, upon the

quality produced by the individual singers; although crude, vocal material. under proper training, can be made to give good results providing they evidence a desire for improvement upon their part individually. It is therefore perfectly natural that the director should understand the human voice and know how to sing personally.
The Director is the leader and should be permitted to exercise his authority as such, firmly but impartially. He should listen to suggestions but should permit no public interference by any one.
He should know what he wants to do and set about doing it.
He should have a definite object in view to bring about definite results as, for instance: full membership; regularity and punctuality in attendance; improving grade of music performed but not inconsistent with the environments; improvement in quality and volume of tone; developing expressiveness in rendition.

BETTER THAN GOLD
There was once a poor shoemaker who was noted for the beauty of his work. Many buyers came and waited for him, knowing that his shoes were good, while the merchants in the market place despised the poor cobbler who had little to sell, though that little was of the finest quality.
Once, late at night, as he bent lovingly over his bench, these merchants came secretly to him, saying, "Why do you waste so much time over one pair of shoes when you might make many and sell to us at a great profit?" The shoemaker answered with the wisdom of Solomon: "A good name is better than gold and service is above great riches."
The Life Insurance Company that is too much concerned with profit cannot build an enduring business. Certainly, it never issues the best policies in the field. Invariably there is another company in the same field whose pride in its policies is greater than its pride in its profits, and its name eventually becomes BETTER THAN GOLD.
Standard Life Insurance Company was founded by Heman E. Perry, a close student of economy and financial conditions, whose desire was to set a new and higher standard of equality in the development of business.
He consulted the best actuaries and medical experts, who assured him that such a standard was within the power of science through careful selection and strict adherence to the laws of mortality.
From the beginning the House of Standard Life resolved to issue policies so safe that their worth could not fail to be recognized. The business, therefore, could not fail to grow. As it grew, the facilities of growth were used to issue still better policies and the business grew more.
For more than nine years it has adhered strictly to this principle and today the name STANDARD LIFE has become a household word. Its policies are recognized as full warranty of skill, scientific research, knowledge and honor, and are accepted by the sound-thinking public whose objective is the creation of estates that will endure throughout posterity.
The name Standard Life on its policies is equally valued as positive assurance of reliability, strength and security.
Get a Standard Life Policy for an adequate amount as a sure means of providing an estate that is BETTER THAN GOLD.

Dunbar Notes
Dunbar Notes
The recent establishment of two Honor Rolls and an Honor Society at Dunbar has met with an enthusiastic reception by the Dunbar pupils. The two Rolls are the General Roll, and the Section Roll of Honor. The General Roll of Honor is to be compiled every semester, based on semester ratings; and is to bear the name and semester of all pupils who have received the mark "E" in each major subject, up to four, have no mark below "G" in any major, are satisfactory in all minors and in deportment.
The section Honor Roll to be compiled at every report period, is to be based on advisory or semester ratings. This roll shall bear the names of all members who have marks of "G" or better in all major subjects and are satisfactory in minor subjects and deportment. The rolls will be kept on the section room boards for the advisory period. The newly organized society, is to be called the "Dunbarians" (Dunbar Good Citizenship Society), and will have as its members all pupils "Whose quality of citizenship is of a high order as demonstrated by their sense of honor, habits of reliability, cleanliness, personal neatness, honesty, courtesy, industry, punctuality, self-control, initiative, and co-operation."
"Membership in this society is to be granted each semester by the faculty to every pupil nominated by his section teacher and approved by the other faculty members with whom he has relations." An inexpensive pin will be the emblem. Membership may be terminated at any time by unworthy conduct. Thirty-six pupils have won places on the General Honor Roll for the first semester and one hundred twenty-three for the section Honor Rolls. The new section rolls will be announced shortly.
Two meetings were held recently at Dunbar, in the interest of Health betterment. On Monday afternoon Dr. C. A. Tignor of the Public Schools medical staff, gave the senior class an effective talk on remediable physical defects and essential health habits. On Wednesday, the parents of seniors met in conference on the same general subject, upon invitation of the Principal, Assistant Principal and teachers of physical training. Dr. Tignor also participated in this conference
Representatives of the Underwood Typewriter Company visited Dunbar High School on Thursday and gave a very instructive demonstration in speed writing before the assembled student body of the Department of Business Practice. Mr. George L. Hossfeld, world's champion typist, gave an illustrated talk on how to acquire typewriting efficiency and speed. He told the students that concentration was the mainspring of efficiency, and that speed without accuracy never win success in the open competition of life.

HOW
WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN "THE FOUR HORSEMEN"
To be shown at The Howard Theater, March, 26 to 31 inclusive:
The fulfillment of St. John's prophecy; the greed for world dominion calling forth Conquest, War, Famine and Pestilence from the lair of the Beast.
In which the youthful libertine, useless as a drone and as dangerous, finds that he owes God a death.
A boy, passionately languorous in a world of rose-sented love, fired to immortality in the poppy fields of France.
Souls of the nations at death-grip in an epic that epitomizes an era.
Romance that inspires, beauty that enthralls, spectacle that astounds in its magnificence.
She dressed like a boy, rode astride like a man, and carried a knife in her belt on the plains of Argentina; she became the ideal of the Chic Parisienne.
Chateaux, sparkling with licentious gaiety, shattered with the ease of champagne glasses, flicked to the floor.
The lilt of the Argentine tango drowned in the shrieking music of shell-fire.
"Four Horsemen" of the Apocalypse is Superb Million Dollar Production
THE HOWARD THEATRE HAS STRUCK ITS STRIDE
New management inaugurates third week of its control with a Million Dollar Production—"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
The Dudley-Murray Corporation inaugurates its third week of control of the Howard Theatre with the Million Dollar photoplay "The Four Horsemen," which is to be shown beginning Sunday March 26th through till Friday, March 31. Many pictures have been acclaimed as One Million Dollar Photoplays, but here is a production which marks a new epoch for the screen. "The Four Horsemen" was written by Vincente Blasco Ibanez. At its opening in New York, people paid $10.00 a seat. The book is based primarily upon the first eight verses of the sixth chapter of Revelations.
Supreme Expression of the War "The Four Horsemen" is the supreme expression of the Great War. Certainly no novel has stirred the universal appeal created by the Ibanez masterpiece. The book, now in its one hundred and sixty-sixth edition, has been read throughout the world. The monumental task of transferring it to the screen was accomplished by June Mathis, who made a scenario that from all accounts has preserved the force of the original and in many incidents heightened it. But it is the director, Rex Ingram, who has apparently achieved the most sensational success. He has set a new mark in artistry of picturization.

The Story Begins
Readers of the novel will recall that the story opens on the Argentine ranch of old Madariaga, whose territories are as extensive as those of the great independent barons of feudal times. And Madariaga rules with feudal power. A rioting, roystering despot, he is filled with Castilian pride of family and yearns for a male child to carry on his tradition. His two daughters have married ranch employees—one French and the other German. Madariaga's Latin antipathy to the German son-in-law brings with it a dislike of his half-German grandchildren, but when a son is born to the Frenchman, Desnoyers, the old man finds his dream realized. The boy, Julio, is selected as heir to the huge estate and is brought up as a spoiled prince of the realm. As a young man Julio becomes the companion of Madariaga's debauched adventures in Buenos Ayres tango resorts. But Madariaga dies suddenly without mak

ing a will and the German branch of the family finds itself sharing the estate equally with the Desnoyers. With this sudden wealth, the two families leave the Argentine for Europe. There is of course, much more of the story. Through it all are galloping the Four Horsemen, spoken of by St. John in the Book of the Apocalypse—the grim figures of Conquest, War, Famine and Death. Elaborate Settings Used
Fifty principals and 2,500 extras were engaged in the filming of the photodrama, an entire French village and an elaborate chateau were erected to be destroyed under the artillery bombardment of the German invaders, and more than 125,000 tons of masonry, steel, lumber and furniture were used in creating back-grounds that are said to reproduce with absolute fidelity the shifting panorama of the story.

"Y" GIRLS AGAIN DEFEAT NA TIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL RIALTO DEFEAT BLUE TRIANGLE
On Friday night March 17 a crowd witnessed two interesting games in the Phyllis Wheatley gymnasium. The first game won by the Rialto Girl Reserves from the Blue Triangle Club showed that the "Y" has many future basketball stars. The main game of the evening was played by the National Training School Girls and the Y. W. C. A. team. Although the game ended in another victory for the "Y" girls the Training School Girls showed much improvement in their playing over their last game and their coach, Miss Gertrude Curtis, should feel proud of them. After a few more games in public these girls will be very hard to beat.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
"APOCALYPSE?"
What is the significance of the word "Apocalypse?" The question has been propounded so often in connection with the Rex Ingram production for Metro of the world-famous novel, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" by Vincente Blasco Ibanez, that Webster must be called upon for an answer. Webster's definition of the word is "a revelation; a disclosure." In the early Greek version of the Bible, the last book of the New Testament was called "The Apocalypse of St. John." In the later versions of the Bible, the book became the "Revelations."
Pronunciation of the word, which also is shown by numerous correspondents of Metro's as an all but unsurmountable stumbling block, has been solved by Webster by placing the emphasis on the second syllable. Visualizing the symbolic figures of "The Four Horsemen" had its original set of wood etchings, done foundation in Albrecht Durer's in the year 1511. The original wood-cuts form but a small feature of a collection of art treasures that are seen in the production. The total value set by insurance appraisers upon the tapestries, paintings and other borrowed art works is $450,000.
struggle in a series of unforgettable pictures that flash out the quintessence of life at white heat. He makes us see above the struggle the awesome figures of the four horsemen, Conquest, War, Famine and Death, prophysiized by St. John in the Book of the Apocalypse, charging into our very hearts. And through it all is the deeply human, deeply moving spectacle of intensely real people in their baffled attempts to readjust themselves to the demands of war days. In this picture the war is realized on a gigantic scale, with a greatness of imagination that dwarfs all other ambitious attempts that the screen has seen. "The Four Horsemen" is the fulfillment of the promise of a noble art in pictures.
It is in this sense of recording mighty events that the screen's superiority over the stage was recognized by critics after the first showing of "The Four Horsemen." Some of them harked back to the days of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan revival for a parallel in the theatre to the Rex Ingram production. They recognized the grandeur of the Great War had here been visualized as a lasting memorial. But "The Four Horsemen" is not a war play, except as the war serves as a background for a story teeming with dramatic passion.
More than 500,000 feet of raw film was exposed in the taking of the picture, which on the screen does not exceed 12,000 feet. Of these eighty-five miles of film—enough to reach to the top of the Woolworth tower and back 617 times, that part which is presented for the entertainment of those seeing the picture takes but two hours and fory-five minutes.

Basket Ball Questions and Answers
(By Benj. Washington)
Q.—When the ball is being tossed by the referee between two players and after it has been tapped it goes "out of bounds" before another player touches it, what should the decision be?
A.—Ball goes to the opponent of the player who tapped as it does on any other occasion when the referee knows which player tapped it. If both players touch it at the same time and it goes out of bounds the referee must toss it up near the side lines between two opposing players.
Q.—Please explain what is meant by held ball? Does it mean that two men are holding the ball from play?
A.—Rule 7 section 3—Held ball is declared when two players of OPOSING teams have one or both hands on the ball, or when one closely guarded player is withholding the ball from play.
Q.—If a closely guarded player is holding the ball on the floor and making no effort to play it, should a foul be called?
A.—No. If opponent is closely guarding him it is a held ball, and must be tossed between the two men nearest it.
Q.—How long may a player in bound hold the ball, provided he is not closely guarded?
A.—Indefinitely. The length of time he holds the ball depends on the activity of his opponents.
Q.—How long may a player hold the ball OUT of bounds?
A.—Five seconds are allowed. The referee usually count s the number of seconds as a warning to the holder of the ball.
Track Teams Training
Colleges Hope for Big Year
(By H. Scott)
As the basketball season draws to a close coaches are now directing their attention toward the development of track teams. Indoor meets are in progress but our colleges have not space to hold such meets and must await the spring. Last season was a great track year for the Race. Never before in the annals of the cinder path did such a galaxy of Colored stars perform in a single season.
There have been a few stars of the first magnitude springing up from time to time. Drew, Butler, Dismond, Taylor and many others reigned at intervals. But look over the 1921 list—Gourdin, the 20-year record broad-jump breaker and pentathlon champion; Dewey Rogers, a member of the Penn relay quartet that lowered the one-mile record; Joseph Carter, New England sprint champion; Shelburne, intercollegiate shot-put winner; Earl Johnson, 5 and 10 mile and cross-country champion; the Howard and Lincoln relay teams history makers at the Penn Carnival. We can not hope for a greater year on the track.
This however is another season and while it is not expected that the 1922 track stars will gain the national fame and prominence as those of 1921 nevertheless a greater year is looked forward to by our colleges. Meets will be held at Howard and Hampton, and representatives of these institutions together with Lincoln, Union, Va. N. & I. I., W. Virginia, Fisk and many High Schools will compete. As added attractions many of the above mentioned stars have been invited. Relative strength of these teams will be treated later. Howard and Lincoln will again be represented at the Penn Carnival with relay teams.
Deanwood Signs New Pitcher
The Deanwood Athletic Club had its squad out Sunday in its first real practice. The workout was very promising and the Deanwood players seem to be in fine shape for the opening game.
O
Manager Williams is very happy these days at the showing of his players and Captain Green says things are all set for the championship of the District this year. The team will also play quite a number of games out of town this season.
Another bright spot in Deanwood's favor came Tuesday night by the signing of Arthur Sanders, star pitcher of the 10th Cavalry. The big right hander is known to be one of the best in the country. He twirled for 12 wins in fifteen starts last year. Manager Williams and Captain Green say they are all prepared for any interesting challenge and would be glad
to hear from any good team desiring games. For games, write Captain Green 4340 Sheriff Avenue, N. E. or phone Lincoln 1214, after 6 o'clock. The team will practice again Sunday and all players are requested to report at 2:30 o'clock at the athletic field.

Before a crowd of basketball lowers that packed the Armstrong gym, Monday afternoon, the Dunbar quint followed the example of the eleven of that school and annexed a second championship of the 1921-22 school year by defeating the Armstrong five 19 to 15. The game was well played, fast and exciting but with an unavoidable bit of roughness due to only one official on the floor.
The strategy employed by coach Westmoreland in juggling his line-up by starting second-stringers and making frequent substitutions failed to work-out successfully. The black and red basketers refused to tire even when numerous substitutes were launched against them.
Drew and Goldsby's wonderful floor work and shooting and Robert's stellar guarding illuminated the champ's playing. Turner, Ellis and Branson played well for Armstrong. Blackwell's basket from near the center of the floor was the most spectacular shot.

ALCOES PLAY WHITE NEW
YORKERS
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
The Alcoes, claimants of the city basketball championship, are confronted with a supreme test when they tackle the Winston A. C's a N.Y. (white) semi-pro quint at Murray's Casino, Friday night, March 31st. The booking of this game is the result of the Alco management's effort to close the basketball season here by presenting a team of wide fame and class. The visitors are reputed to have in Glucks and Merger two of the fastest forwards in the New York Circuit. The excellent team play of locals however is expected to smother this pair. The Snowden-Diamond jazzers will furnish the music with dancing before and after the game. Game called at 9:15.
Y Girls Lose Hard Game to Orioles.
Balto. Md., March 18—The Oriole girls downed the Washington "Y" girls in a well-played game at the local "Y" gym tonight 19 to 13. It was a nip and tuck affair throughout with many long shots and much clever passing. Misses Winston, Minor and Duffy carried off the honors for the visitors, with Misses White and Springes doing the bulk of the work for the Orioles. These teams will meet again in Washington Easter Monday night.

Armstrong and Dunbar Individual Scores
Below is a chart showing the number of points scored by each player in the 3-game series between Armstrong and Dunbar. Turner and Goldishy are tied for total points scored. Roberts of Dunbar and Trigg and Anderson of Armstrong, guards, failed to score and are not on the list.
Foul throwing during the series was extremely weak. Foul tossers of Dunbar accounted for only 5 in 22 attempts; while Tech tossers did little better, registering 13 in 32.
Trigg played in only one game; Coates, Ellis, Berry, Blackwell and Anderson in two; all others performed in all three. The number of field goals, goals from fouls and total points are listed below.

I doubt whether there is any club
that only requires an expenditure of
a penny a month.
The idea behind the Post Card Club
is to express ourselves in messages
written on postals. If only a small
number of our members prove loyal
the Club cannot carry out its work of
Race advancement.
Let's try once more.
Let every member tell us just what
he or she likes best on the Page.
A new request will be made April 1.
Must it be proven, as a fact, that colored children do not stick to anything? No! I don't think it's true.
I honestly think you are bashful in expressng yourself. Follow the lead of your friends above and forward your cards at once.
The question is:
What has been published on this Page that you like or have liked best?
Having faith in every member of the "T. P. C. C." I confidently await your answers.-Ed.

LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE
FRIENDS
Dear Editor: I am in 6-A Grade Garnet School and Miss Corothers is my teacher. I am going to tell you something about Miss Wilkes. She was a very sweet woman and wrote many books about Frederick Douglass. She wrote very sweetly and I loved to read her books. When she died I was very sorry.
THELMA BOLDEN (?)
Dear Editor: I am glad to know that I can do something to help my race. I want to join the "T. P. C. C." because I am sure that it will make me think. I also want my rag doll "Polly" and my big doll "Ida" to join the Doll's Club. I wish my canary "Teddy" could join some club. I am in the 1-B Grade, Mott School. My teacher is Miss Richards.
VERSALINE BROOKS (Age 6)
(Note: A very nice letter. Polly and
Ida are now members of the Doll's
Club and we have a Pet's Club and
"Teddy" has been elected by the other
pets as a member in this club.-Ed.)
---
Dear Mr. Frazier: I read the "Children's Page" every week. I think it was a good idea to put in the memorial in honor of Harriet Tubman on the 11th. I would like for my doll to join the Doll's Club. I am proud of her because she is colored.
BEULAH BANNISTER (Age 12)
(Note: Masie is registered.)
Dear Mr. Frazier: Mother receives the Tribune every week. I failed to answer the questions and work the puzzles last week, because mother gave the paper to my aunt too soon. I am sending drawing which I hope will not be introduced to the waste basket. I am in the 8-B at Garnet. Miss E. E. Perry is my teacher.
EMMA COLE (Age 13)
(Note: The drawings are good but they are drawn on paper that is too thin.—Ed.)
the themes of the songs are but few and those are of the primal emotions. While there are but few religious songs, there are many of satire and sarcasm, ridicule and mockery, many of which sprang into being at carnival time, and far more love songs than are to be found among any other folk-song offerings of America.
Distinct from the mountain song of Kentuuky, the Negro Spiritual or tribal melody of the Indian, the Creoles have added a new note in their gift to the folk-song of America. Out of their consciousness they speak to us in the words of Theocritus: "And to you in my turn, the charms of the clear-voiced muses, even all that they can give and all that my house has in store, these do I bring. The fairest meed of the gods is song."
INDUSTRIAL WORK IN AFRICAN MISSIONS
[We must not forget that any forward movement made by any dark race is of material benefit to the American Negro.-Ed.]
When Friends first began work among the North Kavirondo tribes living in East Africa, just north of the Equator and east of Victoria Nyanza, they found a people not only destitute of clothing but also without a book or a written language, nor had they anything which we call education or civilization, not to speak of Christianity. They lived in little, round, mud huts together with their cattle, sheep, goats, and chickens. Living thus with the beasts they had become almost beastly in custom and ideals.
The aim of the Friends' Mission is to train the heart, hand, and head. To this end the teachers who go to the out-schools learn, not only the Gospel message and the three R's, but also how to make better houses to live in, and how to construct beds, tables, and chairs to put into these houses. They can also make their own clothes and mend them when needed; at least some can, and they are able to teach these things. The Mission has taught road and bridge building, and agriculture is a part of the industrial program, so that the outward conditions under which the people live have been much improved. As yet only a beginning has been made, but the atmosphere is changing. The people are no longer suspicious of the missionaries, wondering what we are there for; they have come to have confidence in us.
The Tribune Post Card Club can be joined by any child who is interested in Race advancement. Write your name, address, age, and parent's or guardian's name on a postal and send it to the Children's Page, Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., and promise to observe four simple rules:
1. I will never use the word "Nigger."
2. I will learn all I can about the history and traditions of my Race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race.
4. I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, being a Negro, I will do all I can to add honor to my people.
All applications MUST be written and sent in on postal cards. The names of members will be published in groups of twenty. Each week a post card talk will appear here by some prominent Negro. That is, a message sent on a postal will be printed. After twelve of these cards have been published, at the rate of one a week, the members of the T. P. C. C. will elect by popular vote, three honorary members. So read these little messages and select what you like best so you can vote for your choice.
We have before us a pamphlet by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, formerly Head of the English Department, Virginia Military Institute, entitled "Contemporary Poetry of the Negro." Prof. Kerlin disabuses our minds of the opinion that Dunbar is known best because of his dialect poems, reminding us that in such of his poems as "Ode to Ethiopia" and "We Wear a Mask" and a score of other pieces in which he uses their speech, he matches himself with the poets who shine as stars in the firmament of our admiration.
He selects, as representative poets of the race Joseph C. Cotter, Sr., Charles Bertram Johnson, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Leslie Pinkney Hill, Joseph C. Cotter, Jr., Lucian
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Editor: I am a little Jacksonville girl and I will work very hard to become an "Honor Child." I am in the 5th Grade and I go to Davis Street School to Mrs. N. E. Patterson. I enjoy the "Children's Page" very much. My aunt sends me the Washington Tribune every week. Here is a poem I composed.

bors in the Southand are doing. Write
often.—Ed.)

have entirely forgotten you but I
have not. I have been busy studying
for examinations and I did not have
time to write. I will try now to write
offener.

NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA
Hare, Maud Cuney,—pianist and author, was born in Galveston, Texas. She is the daughter of the late Norris Wright Cuney of that city, one of the foremost leaders in American politics. Her natural grand-parents came from Mississippi, just across the line from the parish of West Feliciana, La., while the family of Cuneys, coming from Switzerland, migrated to Rapides Parish, La., and later settled in Texas. Mrs. Hare received her musical education at the New England Conservatory, Boston, Mass., where she was a student of piano under Edwin Klahre, and where she received high marks in both literary and theoretical studies.
She is an occasional contributor of articles to the Musical Observer. As an author, her two published books, "The Message of the Trees" and the "Life of Norris Wright Cuney," have commanded the attention of the leading periodicals of the country. Reviews by leading journals of the country, including the Review of Reviews, The Public, Boston Evening Transcript, New York Call, The Dial and The Providence (R. I.) Journal, declare the volumes to be interesting contributions to the literature of the epoch.
For the past few years Mrs. Hare has been engaged in lecture-recital work and has been heard in many of the leading colleges throughout the South and before organizations in the East. A lecture-recital on the subject of Afro-American and Creole Folk Music was given during the season 1918-1919, in the Boston Public Library Lecture Course, in which she was assisted by William H. Richardson, baritone.
Her latest musical contribution is a set of Six Creole Folk Songs arranged for piano and voice which has lately been published by Carl Fischer.
CREOLE MUSIC
The Creole folk-songs of the New World are those of the people of mixed blood in Louisiana and the bordering south-western states. Mainly African in rhythm, the music was brought to South American countries and to the West Indies, thence to Louisiana where it received a French and Spanish-American imprint by the settlers of the land. The majority of the songs that survive show a French influence.
In the early days of New Orleans it was the custom to use the old Place Congo, at the further end of historic Jackson Square, as an out-of-doors dance hall and rendezvous. The main instruments used in the dance were the drums, the quills (a Pan's pipe of reeds), the Marimba and the banjo, which was often accompanied by a rattle made of a polished jaw-bone with loosened teeth. There was a group of thirty or more singers, the leader of whom often practised his gift of improvisation and took the part of soloist.
The songs are in the musical Creole language, a French patois that survived in the fascinating old French quarter of New Orleans and in many of the sleepy, quaint old Creole towns on the Atchafalaya and on the Bayou Teche.

He says, "... a people's poetry, . . . , affords the most serious subject to those who would understand that people — that people's soul, that people's status, that people's potentialities. A people that is producing poetry is not perishing, but is asir with life, with vital impulses, with life-giving visions. It is a people that is becoming noteworthy." Prof. Kerling recently sent in a letter of high commendation of the poem "To My Grandmother" composed by Mrs. Mae Smith-Johnson, which appeared in this paper, December 24, 1921.

THE STORM
Whistle, ye winds, whistle, and call the King of Storm,
Gather, ye clouds, gather, blacken, and break this calm,
Clear, landscape, clear, the King I'll see as he rides out,
And tears across the heavens with boist'rous yell and shout.
Fly, brave steeds, fly, your master urges, spurs you on.
Break, break, dark clouds, pour your contents on the ground.
Scream, wild winds, scream, and moan wail, shriek with wild halloo,
Bend the trees, lash the wave, none dare to censure you,
Flash, lightning, flash, tho sombre be your light, and drear
Figures pervade the earth and fill the atmosphere.
Roll, thunder, roll, and move the earth, the sea, the sky,
Roll on, roll on, the screaming winds go howling by,

YOUR DUTY
If you meet a little stranger,
That's not dressed as well as you,
Don't be afraid to smile with her
Or say a word or two.
Her garment may be shabby
And not clean as it should be,
But her heart be spick and span
And that's a lot, you see.
There's many a neglected child,
That walks the street you walk,
Whose little heart is crying,
Just to have a kindly talk;
Whose bosom's filled with bright
thoughts.
thoughts
As any child might have,
Reach for the sunshine in their hearts
And make them truly glad.

PAVE THE WAY
Now if you wish to set the pace,
Pave the way.
For the boy that will take your place,
Pave the way.
Do not possess a jealous heart,
With that, you may not do your part,
But rather give that boy a start,
Pave the way.
Then why not give the boy a show?
Pave the way.
Just a pleasant smile also
Paves the way.
After you've bid this world adieu
That boy'll be able to pursue,
The way left off—why?—since you
Paved the way.

PAX VOBISCUM
What does it matter
If the world seems sad and dark—
Is not a bright day coming
When, at last, our souls will embark
To the realm of celestial pleasures—
To the realm of perpetual bliss—
Can we afford to worry and fret
If we dream such a dream as this?
Don't let the clouds chase your spirits
Away from the sunshine of God;
Don't let small worries molest you—
Yield not to the wanton's light nod.
Strive on in the light of God's glory,
Be Christianly in all that you do,
Smile up to the throne of your Saviour
And He will smile down upon you.

The most valuable thing which ever comes into a life is that experience, that book, that sermon, that person, that incident, that catastrophe—that something which touches the inner springs of a man's nature and flings open the doors of his great within, revealing the hidden resources. What is true of the individual is true of the race.
There is a fable concerning a cub lion that wandered away from its mother while she was asleep and became lost. A sheep ran across it and made friends with the lost cub, adopting it. The two became fast friends and the cub of course grew much larger than the sheep, but by associating with the sheep, became docile like it. However, one day, a magnificent lion appeared on the brow of the hill near them and uttered a terrific roar. The sheep stood trembling, paralyzed with fear. But the moment the lion heard this strange sound, he listened as tho spellbound, and a strange feeling which he had never before experienced, surged thru his being. The lion's roar had touched a chord in his nature that had never before been touched. It aroused a new force within him. New desires, a strange new consciousness of power possessed him. A new nature stirred within him and instinctively he answered the call with a roar. Surprised at the new powers within himself, the awakened animal started toward the lion on the hill with a tremendous leap. The lost lion had found himself.
Human nature is akin to animal nature. How amazing has been the advancement of human ability! Since slavery the colored people of this country have made rapid strides. However, the real awakening is dawning on them since the World War and "something" has really touched them. Racial consciousness, race pride, race co-operation are all on the upgrade and their opportunity and powers are being recognized by the race.
It requires time to cultivate and develop race pride. Two hundred and fifty years of the most inhuman, unjustifiable and dehumanizing subjection to the American white man requires time to eliminate. However, 12,000,000 people living in the most advanced civilized country in the world and having the blood of its foremost citizens in their veins cannot but have a telling effect upon the people of color and by this inspiration of race pride, a new Negro is being produced in this country whose destination is unknown.
Constructive racial progress and advancement will develop in keeping with the developing of this new racial consciousness. Walk, talk, and act as tho you were a somebody, and you are more likely to become such. Let race pride speak from your face and express itself in your manner. The day for the Uncle Tom is gone. Carry yourself like one who is conscious that he has a splendid mission, a grand aim in life. Radiate a hopeful, cheerful atmosphere. The race is measured by the individual. You are responsible to the race for your actions. Uphold it at any cost.
