Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune PERMIT TO BUILD NEW PRUDENTIAL BANK ISSUED BY BUILDING DEPARTMENT All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, NO. 47 PERMIT TO BUILD PRUDENTIAL BAY BY BUILDING After two months' delay, the building department of the District granted a building permit for the Prudential Bank, to be erected near the corner of 8th and Florida Avenue, N. W., at a cost of $55,000 for the building alone. The plans were drawn by Messrs. Woodson, Vaughan and Ferguson. The building will cover the lot of about 40x70 feet. It will be two stories, with the bank occupying the first floor and having eight office rooms on the second floor. The exterior will be of architectural terra cotta. The interior is to be decorated with marble and mahogany, with a bronze screen. The lighting system will be of the indirect type and the office rooms on the second floor will be equipped with the latest and most modern equipment. The contract for the construction of the building has been awarded to Mr. R. E. Pharrow, a colored contractor of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. C. W. Banton, secretary of the bank, said that Mr. Pharrow had been informed of the issuing of the permit and that he expected to be in Washington next week, with the view of starting operations. Mr. Banton could not say just what day the actual work would begin. The Prudential is capitalized for $100,000, and its opening will give the Northwest section three colored banks. "Ours will be a commercial bank," said secretary Banton, to a Tribune representative, "and we hope to meet the commercial wants of our people in this section. We hope to open for business by the first of August." Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the city schools was elected a director of the Prudential at its last meeting, taking the place vacated by the resignation of Mr. John N. Goins. NATIONAL BENEFIT'S STATEMENT SHOWS MUCH PROGRESS Twenty-one years after its meagre beginning in 1898, on a capital of 5.00, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, became a full grown old line, legal reserve insurance company, in June 1919, with a paid up capital of $100,000. Starting in a rented office, the National Benefit now owns the beautiful five story building which it occupies at 609 F Street, N. W. As an evidence of its growth, the NATIONAL BENEFIT BUILDING National Benefit is now operating in nine states besides the District of Columbia. The States are, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. They employ sixty persons in the home office and have a field force of more than 400 persons. PUBLISHED WEEKLY ILD NEW ANK ISSUED G DEPARTMENT NOMINATED FOR NAVAL ACADEMY [Name] Emile Treville Holley, 17, a student at the College of the City of New York, who has been announced as a candidate for the examinations for entrance to the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Young Holley, while a student at the Townsend Harris High School, earned the reputation of being an excellent scholar, and a noted athlete. He is well up in his classes during Freshman year at college, and also identified with Y. M. C. A. activities. Should he be successful with the examinations and enter the Naval Academy, he will be the first of his race to enter Annapolis since the early seventies. Three colored men have entered the Naval Academy since its beginning, but none have stayed more than a year because of their treatment. HON, ARTHUR G. FROE TO SPEAK There will be public installation of the newly elected officers of the Men's Club of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church next Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The newly appointed Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Hon. A. G. Froe, will be the principal speaker. Mr. Froe has the reputation of being an orator of exceptional note, and a lover of his race. In addition to Mr. Froe's address there will be a most interesting program consisting of music and short addresses. Services will start promptly at three o'clock, Sunday afternoon, April 2. Mr. W. T. Chase master of ceremonies. A trip of inspection thru the National Benefit Life Insurance Company's home office building is an inspiration to any one. To see the three score of men and women discharging the duties necessary to carry on the immense work of a big life insurance company is truly inspiring. To happen there at the noon hour and see the milk, the pies, the sandwiches, and what not, one would think it a hotel instead of a busy commercial establishment. "We do this," said Mr. S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager, "to render a service to our help which gives them more time for recreation at the noon hour than if they were obliged to go out to distant restaurants." The financial statement, published elsewhere in this paper, shows resources of $615,123.78. Most of this amount is in stocks and bonds which are placed on deposit with the insurance commissioners of the various states in which the Natinol Benefit is operating. This Statement demonstrates marked progress and proves that the practical, clear thinking men who believed and dared, who laid its foundation on integrity, honesty and fair-dealing, had the right object in view which has resulted in their successful efforts. The officers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, are: R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and manager; Dr. W. A. Warfield, vice president and medical director. WASHINGTON, D. C.

Rev. Mitchell Given New Charge BISHOP JONES PRESIDED Washington Conference Was Royally Entertained by West Virginia Citizens Clarksburg, W. Va.—The fifty-ninth annual Washington conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (Colored) met in Clarksburg, W. Va., last week. The Conference was presided over by Bishop Robert E. Jones, D. D., LL. D. He was the first Colored Bishop ordained in the M. E. Church. This is the first time a Colored Bishop has presided over the Washington Conference. The citizens of Clarksburg royally entertained the Conference. Besides the splendid singing by the various organizations and choirs, the choir of the white church sang for the conference at the morning and evening services on Sunday. The reports of the various branches of the church showed that much progress has been made during the past year. Rev. Carroll of Washington, who is the financial secretary, made an interesting report to the Conference. Two notable changes were made in the appointments in the Washington district. Rev. J. S. Carroll, who for the past three years has been pastor of Asbury Church on K Street, was made Superintendent of the Annapolis district. Rev. Oscar L. Mitchell, pastor of Mt. Zion Church, was removed and Rev. C. Y. Trigg sent here in his stead. The members of Asbury greatly regret the loss of their pastor, but are pleased to know that he has been promoted. One member stated that their loss is the church's gain. Rev. J. U. King is the new pastor for Asbury. It is rumored that the members of Mt. Zion will petition Bishop Jones to return them their former pastor, Rev. Mitchell. The members of the church were greatly disappointed at the change made. The appointments made for the District of Columbia by Bishop Jones are: Asbury, J. U. King; Central, W. J. Tyler; Ebenezer, J. W. Waters; Fairmont, W. H. Williams; John Stewart, Grant Contee; Benning, C. E. Queen; Mount Vernon, A. J. Carr; Mount Zion, C. Y. Trigg; Nash Memorial, V. N. S. Hughes; Randall Memorial, W.H. Howard; St. Mark, Walter Dorsey; Simpson Memorial, L. A. Carter; Haven, William Brown. Rev.

DUDLEY MAKES DEBUT IN MOVIE WORLD "Easy Money" His First Production at Howard Theater Next Week "Easy Money," a Reol production, featuring our distinguished citizen and world-famed comedian, S. H. Dudley, will be the screen attraction at the Howard Theater next week, beginning Sunday, 6:15 and lasting six days. This production is reputed to be one of the most thrilling comedy-dramas of the year. This picture presents our favorite comedian at his best. Mr. Dudley is supported by a cast that includes Misses Inez Clough, Edna Morton, Messrs. H. L. Pryor, Alex. K. Shannon and Percy Verwagen. "Easy Money" is a sparkling drama, in which a poor constable rivals a rich man for the hand of the belle of the town and after many exciting situations, he wins. See this picture, which, according to some of our best critics, ranks among the best colored photoplays ever screened. DR. T. H. BRIGGS LECTURED HERE "Purposeful Teaching" was the subject discussed by Dr. Thomas H. Briggs, professor of secondary education, Columbia University, New York City, before the Columbian Educational Association of Washington, at the Dunbar High School Saturday night, the 18th. This was the first meeting of the Association since organization recently, with Dr. Lucy D. Slowe, principal of the Shaw Junior High, as president. Dr. Briggs' discussion of the subject was practical, instructive and entertaining. He was introduced by the president. The city superintendent, Dr. F. W. Ballou, and assistant superintendent Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, were sene on the platform. Following the address, refreshments were served and a social hour was held in the armory of the school. The program was short and spicy. Miss Carolyn Grant, of Howard University Conservatory of Music, sang "The Bird of the Wilderness" and "Dites Moi," preceding the lecture. The Columbian Educational Association is the outgrowth of dissatisfaction with the former teachers' association which was in a way ```markdown ``` Circulation Books Open To All TION GOING TO ATTEND OF MONUMENT A special Pullman car has been reserved to carry a party of Washingtonians and others to Tuskegee, Alabama for the celebration of Founder's Day, the unveiling of the Booker T.

Group conferences will be held from time to time among the members interested, in addition to the regular lectures. 2 By Jay Bee Many thanks to one of the cars of the WRECO line that roared past my living place last Blue Monday about six P. X. If one of these flatwheelers ever ran past a grave-yard, there would be a flock of daily and nightly resurrections. I wish that the WRECO folks would run some of these rattlers past the burial place of the feller whose execution was caused by a man up on the hill, named Volstead. Might wake 'em up. Eh? What? Having just seen the "Four Horsemen" at the Howard shortly before the sleep-time hour, I was haunted all during the night by some of the gruesome scenes of the play. While soaring up to lofty altitudes in the land of Morpheus, one of these rattlers came dashing by and I nearly fell out of my canopied hay-pile. It sounded like what my brother-in-wedlock, Sergt Charley Lomack says a Big Bertha sounds like. You see he ought to know because he went over there in my place. Straightway, with clear dome and with the rest of the gang dead to the world, I began this week's prevariatory discourse. Something must be said about this delightful Spring weather. Wish that I could write a beautiful Spring poem. By the way, that reminds me. Connected with the circulation department of the Tribune, is a bird, named George McCorkle a writer of short verse, who comes from my home town in one of the Carolinas. We both used to pound out our bunk on the same typewriter. On one occasion, the typewriter positively refused to write anything but poetry. On another occasion, it would not write anything but this one-day-last-week muss. At present, I have the advantage, but I expect a sudden change any day. Sure signs of Spring: editor of this column falls asleep during hours of service; Diamond, the drummer, is seen with glistening dome uncovered; the odor of mothballs is everywhere; fashion plates, both gender, are seen on parade on their shapes; Mrs. Jay Bee orders home Spring medicine for the gang. Constable Cholly Lee, reputed to be the "unbridled" servant of the people and the "director-general" of the Murray Casino, complained to the writer that the "one-day" column was no good. In expressing himself, he did not mince his words. I admire the sap for his frank statement. The truth of the matter is this: In the past two weeks, Mr. Lee has been having trouble with his flat tires and Mrs. Lee reports that, at times, he becomes almost frantic. Mr. Lee admits that when he removes his skates to go to bed at night, he can positively hear his feet say "much oblige." He glided (couldn't walk) down to Edmonston's foot parlor for treatment in preparation of a purchase. After six specialists made an exhaustive study of the case, which was found to be the consumption of both feet, caused by an over-abundance of roasting ears on each, Cholly compromised and ordered a pair of ? ? ? ? & a $ \frac{1}{2} $'s. I've been keeping it a secret, but I'll just let a few of my readers know about it. Parked in front of the Murray Casino building and directly in front of the medicine mill, is a brand new Studebaker gas-wagon. The writer was informed that it was the property of Doc George Herriot, the pill-roller.. It's all initialed and everything. Some time ago, Doc bought a Henry, but for unknown reasons, he always parked it around on "Casino Avenue." We have to hand it to Doc, for he's a jolly good "feller" and clever young business man. His soda fount is the rendezvous of the fastidious. He conducts one of the cleverest equipped pharmacies in the city. At 9th and You, F. E. Parks, seated in a flaming red Templar roadster, and with his chin resting on his knees is seen waiting for the signal of the traffic bull. F. E., as he is known by his friends, stands within a few inches of 7 ft in his socks. He is one of the teachers in one of the mechanical departments of our school system and he possibly deserves far more than has been accorded him. He's a member of the younger social set. There is a tailoring business on You street, that is growing "Younger and Younger" instead of older and older. The members of the firm are Mr. George A. and Mrs. Emma C. Younger both members of two of Washington's oldest families. George, for many years, was a garment cutter in the establishment of Harry J. Lee, who kept shop in the Ebbit Hotel Building. He specializes in conservatively tailored clothes for men and young men. Mrs. Younger, unlike most modistes, specializes in building garments for ladies who weigh in the neighborhood of three or four hundred pounds. The many of her clientele are the "stouts" and "near-stouts," she also finds it possible to take care of a good many "leans." Since he has been deputized to pinch offenders of the theatrical ethics. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 Music Forum Wellington A. Adams Mrs. Talbert Wins New Friends in Hampton Recital Hampton, Va., March 27—Under the auspices of the Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, well-known soprano of Detroit, assisted by Miss Mabelle E. Clark, pianist-accompanist, gave a recital in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. Mrs. Talbert's program included the following numbers: "My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair," Haydn; "Call of the Lark," Speaks; "Homing," Del Riego; "Oh, My Love," Burleigh; "The Cuckoo," Lehmann. Mrs. Talbert sang a number of encores and the following songs by request; Bishop's "Lo, Here the Gentle Lark"; two modern French songs,—"The Enchanted Hour" and "To You Additional Ne Additional Theatre News (Continued from Page 4) Norma Talmadge in Three Veins in "The Wonderful Thing" At Dunbar Theatre, Mon. to Thurs. "The Wonderful Thing" is the title of the latest production starring Norma Talmadge, distributed by Associated First National Pictures, Inc. It is announced as the attraction at the Dunbar Theatre, four days, beginning Monday, April 3. Herbert Brenon and Clara Beranger Norma Talmadge in "The Wonder Norma Talmadge in "The Wonderful Thing" adapted the story from the stage play of the same name, written by Lillian Bradley and Forrest Halsey. The production is in a considerably lighter vein than anything which Miss Talmadge has done recently, but it has an underlying strain of a love-drama which gives Miss Talmadge opportunity for some bits of the superb emotional acting that has made her so popular as a screen star. As Jacqueline Boggs, the only daughter of the American Hog King, a finished product of a French convent, she is Marriage Problem Presented in Film "Dr. Jim" by Frank Mayo At Dunbar Theatre, Fri. and Sat. The subject of marriage and its proper balance has been presented so Friend Morris, doorman at the Dunbar and officer in the gallery at the Howard Theater, spends much time shining up his police badge. He's got a rube sheriff skinned three ways from Sunday. In company with my frau, I witnessed "Journey's End," and the "Storm." Twas then time to turn in, but we stopped at the Casino and watched Elmer Snowden's jazz gang destroy several instruments. Glided across the room twice with my guest and blew for the Industrial Cafe for feed. Heard a flapper make a date over the phone. "Meet me at 4½ and Missouri, S. W. Bring me something good. You know what." Thence home. My Love is Given"; and the aria "Ah, fors' è lue" from "La Traviata." Some two thousand white and colored people attended Mrs. Talbert's recital and warmly applauded the work of Mrs. Talbert and Miss Clark. Miss Clark's numbers included Listzt's "Valse Impromtu," Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capriccioso," and Coleridge-Taylor's "Deep River." Miss Clark played as encores "Sous Bois" by Victor Staub and "The Venetian Boat Song" by Godard. At the recent Sunday-evening chapel service Mrs. Talbert sang, in Ogden Hall, Liddle's "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings" and "Somebody's Knocking at Your Door."

As Mrs. Donald Mannerby she becomes a dramatic figure, and once again her father's daughter, she is tragic. One advantage, however which a drama of love has over a drama of life is that a happy ending is possible, and one comes in a very satisfying manner in "The Wonderful Thing." Herbert Brenon, who has directed two of the later of Miss Talmadge's productions acted in the same capacity with "The Wonderful Thing" in addition to collaborating in the ada- rful Thing" tation of the screen version. Chief among the supporting cast is Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, a young matron of high social standing in New York and Newport who has secured a position in the Norma Talmadge Company to round out her training in amateur theatricals before organizing a picture producing company of her own. Harrison Ford plays opposite Miss Talmadge, and others in the cast include Howard Truesdale, Robert Agnew, Ethel Fleming, Mabel Bert, Fanny Burke, Walter McEwen and Charles Craig. many times on the screen that it's worth while to note the coming of a new angle to the old topic in the shadow play. "Dr. Jim," a Universal Special Attraction, comes to the Dunbar Theatre next Friday and Saturday, April 7 and 8, starring Frank Mayo. In "Dr. Jim," which is an original story by Stuart Paton, a Universal dirtcor, the wife is a society butterfly—but not because of her instinct. She's oblivious to the serious realities of life because she feels neglected and alone. She fancies her husband no longer cares for her because he devotes more time to hospitals and operating rooms than to her. A story of a powerful dramatic nature depicts the unfoldment of a womanly charm of character that is hidden deeply within her. Mr. Mayo is supported by such widely known players as Herbert Heyes, Clarie Windsor, Robert Anderson, Standhope Wheatcroft, Oliver Cross and Gordon Sackville. N. A. A. C. P. NOTES The District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is having weekly "Get-together" meetings at the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., looking forward to the "Drive" period, April 23 to May 15. The meetings have been largely confined to the instruction of workers and those who are to take charge of divisions and the distribution of books and buttons that are to be used. The regular monthly meeting of the Branch will be held April 12th at 7:45 p. m. in the assembly hall of the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., at which time it will have as its guest and speaker Hon. Harry M. Wurzbach, Representative from the 14th District of Texas. It is hoped and urged that the membership will turn out at this meeting in order to give a welcome and show appreciation. Among those invited on the program for the Mass Meetings which are to be held every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock during the "Drive" period at the Howard Theatre, are Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Mr. Charles Edward Russell, Senator Arthur Capper, Senator David Walsh, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, Mrs. Ruth McCormick, Prof. Kelly Miller and others. The musical program for the opening will be under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, leader of the Amphion Glee Club. The District of Columbia Branch is very anxious, in this "Drive" to number 25,000 members counting new and renewals, and it is hopeful that every citizen regardless of color, if a member, will see that his renewal is made, and if not a member, to join at once. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL LINK JOHNSON AND HIS FRIENDS "Be sure your sins will find you out." This statement no doubt is finding its way home to Link Johnson these days as never before. Now comes his friend B. J. Davis calling upon him to be a man and stop licking the boots of the party leaders for a job. It seems rather painful to the Editor of the Atlanta Independent to be called upon to talk quite so plain to his friend "Link." But Ben Davis declares that Henry Lincoln Johnson as National Republican Committeeman from Georgia, has betrayed his people and therefore deserves the condemnation of his friends. The difference between us and Editor Davis in this case is that we have known Link Johnson only a short while, but it was our good fortune to find out in that short time that he could not be trusted as a man of honor and integrity, and to betray confidence of his friends, he regarded very lightly. The only consolation he felt called upon to offer his victims was that they were ignorant, while he (Link) was smart. It took us only a short while to find out that "Col." Johnson depended upon his "wits" to "get by" when called upon to play a man's part. So, perhaps, we have the advantage of Ben Davis in this case, in that we are not in the least surprised at anything Link Johnson does in his efforts to land a job for himself. There are millions of his race whom he cannot betray, for they will never trust him again. Mr. Davis says that Link Johnson makes his living as a "leader and publicist." We are wondering if Davis meant, as "confidence man, and grafter." So far as we can learn, he has no visible means of support. If he had any law practice in Georgia, doubtless he has lost it by hanging around Washington trying to get a job. There seemed to be an opportunity for a little graft around the so-called Legislative Relief headquarters at Washington, but weare quite sure that the public is getting wise and has about quit sending in their hard earnings. Link Johnson is at the head in this movement. If Henry Lincoln Johnson, can make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer, as he so proudly boasts, why in the name of self respect don't he quit begging for a job and go at it. You can't be a beggar and a leader too. —The St. Louis Argus MONSTER CROWD EXPECTED TO ATTEND UNVEILING OF BOOKER WASHINGTON MONUMENT Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 31 —The Friends of the late Dr. Booker T.

Constant care and the frequent use of preparations of proven merit are the secrets. Wonderful Hair Grower Nourishes and stimulates the growth of stubborn, lifeless hair. The Madam C.J.Walker Mfg.

NOTES The Colored employees of the Government Printing Office met in Harding Hall on March 22 and perfected an organization with the following officers: President, J. Fenwick Busher; Vice President, Maurice S. Gaither; Secretary, J. Arthur Henson; Assistant Secretary, Miss A. Regina Wilson; Treasurer, Edward L. Carter. The organization will promote the general welfare of our group and its activities will be fraternal, dramatic. musical and athletic. The recent addition to the Government Printing Office of Harding Hall and the recreation rooms has afforded the much needed opportunity for our group to get together and it is hoped that much profit will result from the proper use of our time and talent. The Epworth League of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Georgetown, D. C., rendered a very nice program on Sunday March 26. The program was prepared by Williams Andrick, of the night press division. Among the participants were Mr. M. R. Speelman, Lewis Minor, Chester Dodson, Walter Hyson and William Taylor. George Ashton and E. L. Carter lifted the collection. All are employees of the Government Printing Office. Employees having occasion to visit the emergency hospital on the fourth floor will be welcomed with courteous and sympathetic attention by Addie G. Braxton who has been detailed from the bindery.

W. in co-operation with the Inter-racial Committee of Baltimore. Associated with Mr. Johnson are Dr. B. M. Rhetta and Professor Broadus Mitchell of the Johns Hopkins University. This survey, which is to record wages and conditions of labor, the progress and advancement on the job by industrial workers and the social conditions of their families, will be completed in from four to six weeks and the findings will be submitted as a basis for a practical program of improvement to be furthered by a group of interested Baltimore citizens. Mr. Johnson recently made a survey of the Negroes of Hartford and Flushing, L. I. and was Associate Executive Secretary of the Chicago Race Relations Commissions which studied the causes of racial misunderstanding at the request of Governor Lowden of Illinois following the Chicago race riots. George W| Buckner, Executive Secretary of the St. Louis Urban League, has gone to Tulsa for the third time to continue his activities there towards working out a program of improvement to be participated in by progressive white and colored leaders of that community. Jesse O. Thomas, Southern Field Secretary of the League, has submitted a program to the Committee on Church Co-operation and is planning to proceed to Tampa, Florida, at the request o flocal citizens to inaugurate an Urban League in that city. J. R. E. Lee, Extension Secretary of the League, has been in Richmond, Va. during the past two weeks in an effort to enlist larger financial support from the colored citizens of that community in the work of the League. Mr. Lee has met with admirable success, having secured $552 from the colored people of Richmond. T. Arnold Hill, Western Field Secretary, has recently made trips to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Indianapolis in interest of the formation of local Leagues. The national organization reports $30,678.79 in cash and pledge received to-date towards its budget of $59,770 for the year 1922. H. U. Notes Spring Quarter Begins The Spring Quarter of the session 1921-1922 began Friday morning, March 24, at 8 o'clock. All classes convened as per schedule and activities at the university began anew. There were many students to drop out this quarter; and there were but few newcomers. This marks the last quarter of the session; the University looks forward to the coming session 1922-1923, for a great inpour of students and much success, hoping that the conditions of the country will be bettered. Louisiana State Club Renders Program Sunday evening March 26, at 6:30 o'clock, the Louisiana state club rendered a program before the Epworth League of Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church at 11th and K Streets, N. W. The program was one of interest and hinged upon modern day problems. The speakers spoke on Negro business enterprises, racial cooperation and higher commercial activities. Mr. T. Renfro Eaton, E. B. Willis, and Att'y W. Thos. Soders spoke. Mr. R. W. Mathews played an instrumental solo. Mr. C. L. Watt sang a very appealing baritone solo. Miss Johnson of the League had charge of the program. Mr. Wm. Pickens to Speak The Young Men's Christian Association of the university, invites the citizens of Washington and surrounding communities to attend their annual meeting to be held in Rankin Memorial Chapel at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday April 2rd at which meeting Mr. Pickens, National Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. will speak. Mr. Lewis K. McMillan, president of the association, will preside over the meeting. Social Happenings During the Week Friday evening March 24, at 8:30 o'clock, the annual prom of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was held in the Lincoln Colonnade. The event was one of a very high type; with splendid decorations and good music. There were out-of-town members of the fraternity who attended the formal prom. Saturday evening in Spaulding Casino at 8:30 o'clock, the Freshman-Pharmaceutical class of the university held their annual prom. The Casino was gayly decorated, and Cole's orchestra rendered splendid music. To Mr. Clifton Bruin, president of the class, is due-much credit for the success of the prom. Y. M. C. A. On Sunday April 2nd at 4 p.m. in the lobby of the Association the Life Problem Club will discuss, "The Great Crime Wave, Its Cause, Its Remedy." The public is also invited to this meeting. Several prominent speakers are on the "Y's" program for the future one of the foremost of whom is Mr. Sol. T. Plaatje, of South Africa, Editor of the People's Friend at Kimberley, who will speak May 7th on "The Black Man's Burden." Dunbar Notes "The Miracle Man" was presented in the Dunbar auditorium on Monday afternoon, for the benefit of the Athletics of the school. Closer co-operation between the Department of Business Practice and the local business men is having its beneficial results upon the work of the students. The business men are helping to train the students. Thus the department and the business men are trying to become mutually beneficial. Over forty students in the Department of Business Practice are working on part-time schedules in local business establishments. They are receiving practical experience in salesmanship and office practice, and are rated by their employers. That the Department of Business Practice is in need of a building of its own is attested by the crowded assemblies in the library every Wednesday, at which time business men address the students. Y.W.C.A. Special noon-day Holy Week services under the direction of Mrs. Lucy Brent will be held at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. beginning Monday, April 10, 1922. The following program has been arranged: Monday, April 10, "What is Christ to Me."—Mrs. F. Boyce. Tuesday, April 11, "The Transfiguration."—Mrs. M. F. Thompson Wednesday, April 12, "The Anointment."—Mrs. Anna Murray Thursday, April 13, "Christ, Our Passover."—Mrs. Miller and Green Friday, April 14, "Trials, Crucifixion and Burial."—Mrs. Pierre Saturday, April 15, "The Woman's Part."—Miss Kitty Bruce Here and There Citizens of Detroit, Mich., can now boast of another weekly paper, The Detroit Independent. The first issue of this progressive looking sheet came to The Tribune's office recently and it has all the earmarks of becoming a real live newspaper. Mr. George Ray Dorsey is editor and William J. Robinson is general manager. The Tribune wishes The Independent much success. The Chicago Whip has sustained a great loss in the recent death of one of its founders and editors, Mr. Wm. C. Linton. Mr. Linton died in Ashville, N. C. where he went to try to regain his health. Mr. Linton was a fearless writer and the independent policies of his paper won him friends and followers throughout the country. His loss will be greatly felt by the race. Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, we are informed, has contracted to write a column for the Kello News Service Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa. Dean Miller's column is patterned after the column conducted by Brisbane for the Hearst Syndicate. His first article appeared in The Pittsburgh Courier last week. A Texas court recently issued a temporary restraining order against the Colored Shriners "throughout the United States," restraining them from wearing the Shrine emblem and from using names peculiar to the Shrine. What effect this order will have on the activities of the Colored Shriners cannot as yet be ascertained. There has been a fight for a long time against Colored Shriners in a few of the Southern states. The local organization here has remained silent on the question so far. A recent writer in Leslie's Weekly in summing up his article stated that the main trouble with the Negro was, that he had no race pride. We are aware how true this is with the Colored people living in Washington. Apparently it fits a certain group of us perfectly. For an example: Mr. Harry Crandall owns and operates eight theatres for white people in Washington in which, no colored person dares to enter. However, Mr. Crandall's love(?) for us is so great that he has decided to build a theatre for us (?) on U Street; and straightway, a gang of us are so blind, have so little race pride, we just cannot stay away from it, and in this group, are some of our so-called leading business and professional men. We wonder when we, as a group, will learn this great secret. The N. A. A. C. P. seems to be in a mad race to get credit for everything that is done for the Negro. Recently they claimed credit for the increased school appropriation and the order to prevent the parade of the Ku Klux Klan here. These claims are made in spite of the fact that other organizations and individuals not connected with that body—some of them at least as influential—were busy as to the school matter. What they did to bring about the anti-K. K. K. order is a secret of their own. For Raw Sore Throat At the first sign of a raw, sore throat rub on a little Musterole with your fingers.

SPORTS FIRST BASEBALL GAME OF THE SEASON Sunday, April 2nd on their Field (37th and S Streets, N. W.). The Athletics will clash with a team made up of men that have played big time ball for a season or so; namely, Pink Gardner (Lincoln Giants), Mahorney (A. B. C.), Cleo Smith and Scrip Lee (Norfolk Giants), Burling Kenner (Hillsdale), and others who will enter the ranks this season. This game will be played free of charge as the Athletics are not able to enclose their grounds at present.

Game called at 2:45. BASKETBALL AT HOWARD Monday evening, March 27th at 7:30 o'clock in Spaulding Casino the Delta Big Five met and defeated the Beavers (mostly composed of former Dunbar boys). There were many out to witness the game, and there was hearty cheering for both teams. The teams were equally matched seemingly, but during the first half the Beavers were somewhat flicked; this being due probably to over confidence. The HOWARD MANAGEMENT OF DUDLEY-MURRAY THEATER CORP.

OLD-TIME ARMSTRONGERS DOWN VARSITY The familiar slogan "youth shall be served" failed to run true to form Friday night when the Armstrong Varsity quint was defeated by an Alumni Team of the same school in a spirited contest 29 to 28. The regulars did well to hold the Alumni in check for in the former warriors lineup were such notables as Hill and Turner of Carlisle fame; Tyler and Keenan, Peerless Stars: Cupid, an old timer; Holton, a Howardite; and Williams of the Settlers. The teamplay of the youngsters offset the prowess of these individuals. Harris, Turner and Ellis played best for the varsity while Amos Turner, Keenan, Hill and Tyler featured for the former Armstrongers. Varsity Alumni Turner Hill Berry L.F. Tyler Harris Center A.

Referee, Mr. Westmoreland. Scorers and Timers, Messrs. Goldsby and Blackwell. All-High Basketball Team It falls to our painful duty to pick the Tribune's All-High quint. Perhaps we should exercise the right of drawing up a final will and testament before attempting to name the players who in our opinion made the best showing during the season and are eligible for the mythical five. The selections are to a certain extent based on all-season form but with most emphasis on work in the series. The quint is fairly strong in floor work, formidable in defense and has three dependable scorers. No consistent foul thrower or offensive guard was developed. Neither was there a player who stood head and shoulders above the rest of the field in all-round ability. Roberts' (D) clean and effective guarding stood out. As a scoring power he was of no value because he seldom went beyond the center of the court, and playing a standing guard all season he was a proverbial stonewall. He fed the ball to his teammates in clever style. Branson (A) wins the other guard over Meroney (D). Branson was an unusually good defensive guard. Meroney's work entitles him to much credit. Anderson (A) a hard worker, performed cleverly in every game. Drew with height, speed and an uncanny eye for the basket was a very important cog in the Dunbar machine. His general playing easily won for him the pivot position. Harris, Tech's center, proved to be one of the most aggressive players on the courts. He could be used to advantage at guard or forward, probably with better success at the latter position. We have included Harris as our utility player. Turner (A) covers the court well and is a reliable shot. He outshone the other forwards and gets the first call. Goldsby (D) while not possessing sufficient stamina to carry him at a fast clip through a game nevertheless showed marked ability at scoring which is the prime requisite of a good forward. Besides leading the field in scoring field goals he won the second game of the series for Dunbar with two baskets in the extra time period. Such shooting offsets weak floor work. Blackwell, Armstrong's plucky captain, was handicapped practically all season from doing his best because of a weak ankle. Coates (D) missed the first series game, played sensationally in the second but only ordinarily in the third. While a good all-round player the inconsistency of his work forces us to pass him up. Berry (A) deadly shot when under the basket was unable to shine in the scholastic games. Ellis (A) possesses speed and one of the keenest eyes in the circuit. Middleton (A) showed ability from the 15-foot line. Henry (D) was Coach McDuffie's most capable substitute and has all the earmarks of a comer. Many other substitutes were used but failed to show enough to be rated. TAU DELTA SIGMA NOTES ‘That the lawyers, graduates of the Howard University School of Law and other law schools of the country, realize the prepriety of uniting to keep alive the fraternal spirit is in- dicated by the numerous letters which have been recently received by the Tau Delta Sigma fraternity. Re- quests have come from Detroit as well as from Chicago and other large cities for permission to organize chapters of the fraternity. ‘Attomey Jackson of Chicago, wh was the guest of the fraternity while in the city recently, conducting a case in the United States Supreme Court, ‘was well pleased with the progress of the fraternity. He is one of the enthusiastic sponsors of the proposed chapter in Chicago. As a stamp of his approval of the aims of the body he made a substantial donation. B. F. Dunnington, an attorney of Detroit, in reply to his letter, wil receive instructions this week to pro- ceed to organize a chapter there.

Father O'Connor of St. Au- gustine Church is rapidly improving, from his sickness. Mrs. Margaret Edwards of West- minster St. is able to be among her friends again after being under the care of her physician. The Phi eBta Sigma Fraternity, who has established permanent headquar- ters at 325 T St. N.W. will hold a conference here from April 17 to 19. Mr. Solomon Harper has returned to New York after paying the na- tion’s capital a visit while traveling. Mr. Alonzo E. Beasly and Miss An- drew W. Jones were united in mar- riage by Rev. C. M. Tanner. The recent address given by Mr. F. Morris Murray to the business prac- ticé department of Dunbar contained many useful and helpful points. ‘The friends of Messrs. Harold W. and Edward Joyce wish to express their sympathy in the loss of their grandmother Alice Joyce of 1110 18th Street. Mr. Clifton Hairston of Philadel- phia had as a surprise Sunday guest his mother Mrs. Hairston of Kenil- worth. The friends of Miss Maria Scott wish her a speedy recovery. Miss Maude H.

Money = Hcolumn of Finance for Everybody = edited by Z| EUGENE L. C. DAVIDSON ARE YOU KEEPING WELL INFORMED ? EE ee eT eT ra ‘The Partial Payment Plan of pur- chasing stocks and bonds listed on the Stock Exchange is probably the newest method of buying Stocks and Bonds and undoubtedly offers advan- tages to the man or woman of small means who is seeking the right road to financial independence. Earn, Save, Invest, are the three passwords through the portals of s happy and independent old age, In the Partial Payment Plan, the last two. Save and Invest, are combined into one. Under ordinary conditions one saves until he feels that he has enough to warrant an investment, His savings are put into an old stock- ing, under the mattress or into a | bank and then when he has saved a hundred dollars, he purchases a baby bond. The Partial Payment Plan says, “Why wait until you have saved |to invest? Why not invest while saving and get the benefits of a good | investment from the start?” | This plan has been offered and re- ‘commended by a great number of ‘houses within the past few years. Brokers and financiers awoke to the fact, which the Liberty Loan Drive proved so conclusively, that the mil- ‘lionaire was not the only class that ‘had money and that the value of ‘money gathered in small amounts ‘from many was equal in every way ‘to large amounts gathered from the few. Money is money and its earn- sing power is the same no matter in ‘what amounts it is put to use. And so brokers offered to the public, to Mr. Average Man, the opportunity to invest while saving. ‘An analysis of the Partial Payment Plan, as it is most frequently called, shows that it is a combination of the outright purehase plan and the margin plan, both of which methods have been discussed in previous articles. In this plan the first payment is ‘usually a bit larger than that of the margin plan payment, averaging about twenty per cent of the market price of the stock or Bond. The bal- ance is lent as in the margin plan, but the client agrees to reduce the borrowed amount by monthly pay- ments, usually about ten per cent, al- though some houses allow as little as 5 per cent to be paid per month. Under this plan there are supposed to be no sudden calls for more mone as under the margin plan and the risk of a decline in the market is borne by the broker himself, a risk which is not great considering the payments which are being made monthly. Under this plan also,, all dividends are credited to the purcha ser and he is privileged to sell when ever so inclined, getting whatever may have been realized from increas in market price. In case the client is unable to continue his monthl; payments, he is automatically put into the class of a margin purchaser and the payments he has alread; made are credited to his account it this department, i ‘The advantages of the Partial Pay: ment Plan are patent. It offers the opportunity to put small amounts int | good dividend paying securities. I | teaches thrift and offers an incentive eeayine te sieacy that purchasé |of stocks or bonds can be begun ai | the time when it is most advantage | ous to do so without awaiting an ac | cumulation of capital and possibly | losing the opportunity. The Plan is < |boon for Mr. Average Man, for hi | can “invest whilé saving.” | Answers to Inquiries | Fin. Ed. Tribune: I own som | stock marked “First Preferred 8 per cent’ Cumulative Stock.” I have hai | the stock for a year and a half, bu jhave never received any dividen checks. , What is a cumulative stock | And why have I received no dividend —L. J.T. Answer: You have probably re ceived no dividends because none hav been declared. A Preferred Cumula tive Stock promises to pay its divi dend to the holder, if earned and de clared, before anything shall be pai to the Common Stockholder, and t allow the unpaid portion of the divi dend, if any, in any year to accumu late and be added to the dividend ir | some year in the future, so that th | entire accumulated dividend must b Pee re er a a ee Te Are you closely following the trend of Current Events?

Answers to Pertinent Questions My dear Editor: “Pertinent Questions” on Alexan- dria affairs are well put. Keep them before the public. 1. We have not yet learned the value of placing our interest in the children. 2. What is true of a Nation without a vision applies to a race and likewise to fraternities. 3, One prominent young man of our city, but now much in the forefront in the District, made the effort to open a drug store here, we are told, and was denied a license hence no further effort. . 4, Ere long we hope. 5. It is not any of our business those who supply the means for a dividend? 6. A little personal gain will con. tinually be the cause of much deceit and many false statements as long a: the race will tolerate it. ‘The last two questions simply need a little publicity. We will co-operate Fin. Ed. Tribune: I am a widow and $600.00 represents my entire sav- ings. Would you advise me to put this amount into Liberty Bonds o1 in some stocks giving a greater yield? FH. ' Answer: Liberty Bonds are un- doubtedly the safest investment in the world. We should surely advisc you to put your money into Liberty Bonds or into some Gilt-Edge Boné such as American Telephone and Tele- graph 5s (1946), or Atchison Gen’ Mortg. 4s (1988), and leave the more speculative stocks and bonds to those who can afford to lose. in these.

His academic education was received in the best schools of Boston, Mass., where he has made his home since early boyhood. His musical education was begun with George H. Woods of Boston; later with Arthur Hubbard of Boston, and for the past few years he has been an artist-pupil of Theodore Schroeder, the noted Boston vocal instructor and coach. Mr. Richardson was early engaged as baritone soloist at Bethany Baptist Church, Dorchester, Mass., leaving this position to become the soloist at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Cambridge, Mass., where he has remained for over 15 years. In recent years he has been active in concert work, and has been heard in successful recitals in the principal cities of the United States. LITTLE J JUST TO SHOW YOU, I OPENED A JEWELRY STORE ONCE! THE NEGRO CHILD By Joseph S. Cotter, Sr. My little one of ebon hue, My little one with fluffy hair, The wide, wide world is calling you To think and do and dare. The lessons of stern yesterday That stir your blood and poise your brain Are etching out the simple ways By which you must attain. An echo here, a memory there, An act that links itself with truth; A vision that makes troubles air And toils the joy of youth. These be your food, your drink, your rest, These be your moods of drudgeful ease. For these be nature's spur and test And heaven's fair degrees. My little one of ebon hue, My little one with fluffy hair, Go train your head and hands to do, Your head and heart to dare. Note: Prof. Robert T. Kerlin in a tribute to Mr. Cotter, Sr., mentions him as being a playwright, fabulist, poet and schoolmaster—Ed. THRIFT (By Talbert Dowling, Age 11) I am writing this composition to to tell you how to be thrifty and how to economize, and not only to save one thing but everything. Did you ever think what the word thrift means? Some people think it only means to save money, but it means using everything to the best advantage and saving what you can. I will tell you how we can economize in time, lessons and in play. For example read the following: If John has an hour to get his lessons and he wants to save fifteen minutes to read and he has to get geography and arithmetic—if he takes fifteen minutes for geography and twenty-five minutes for arithmetic, he has been thrifty enough to save twenty minutes out of his hour. Another example is: James has an hour to get his lessons and he wants to save fifteen minutes to read. If he has to get arithmetic, history and geography and he gets one arithmetic problem and then stops to talk, then gets his others, and then one question, and stops to say something to Betty, and if he keeps on talking it won't be long before he uses all of his hour up. You see he is extravagant and not thrifty. You can save money like this: If Mrs. Jones gets a hundred and fifty dollars a month and wants to save fifty dollars she must set that aside and then use the hundred dollars as best she can. If Mr. Jones purchases a turkey and eats half and throws the rest in the garbage he is very extravagant and is wasting food as well as money. NEGRO JINGLES Our actor of old: He portrayed brave heroes Who were kind, good, and bold. John ran along Singing a song Because he had a quarter. He had forgotten The bridge was rotten So he fell into the water. Note: You are invited to send in original jingles for this section. These jingles are for our tiny readers. Remember: You must not send in jingles copied from some other writers.—Ed. EASTER POEM We are going to give five theatre tickets for the best Easter poem sent in by April 10th. Get busy, little bards, and wield your pens. Those who failed Christmas have another chance to win some movie treats. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS My dear Mr. Frazier: It has been sometime since I wrote or answered the puzzles and questions. I have been giving my sister a chance to answer them.

TURNER (Age 14) Dear Editor: I am so interested in the "Children's Page" I can hardly wait until Saturday to get a Tribune I wrote to Bud Biliken of the "Chicago Defender."

He also wishes to hear from some members of the T. P. C. C. so as to understand their aim. I am in the 8-B Grade at Garnet School, Miss E. E. Perry is my teacher. ?

I would like for you to tell me about something in my geography lesson. I would like to know why the Panama, Canal is called the Panama Canal. Please answer in the paper for me. LEONA HARRIS (Age 13) Answer: The Canal derives its name from the fact that it crosses the Isthmus of Panama and is owned by the republic, Panama, but is leased by the United States. Dear Editor: I know you would prefer answering questions concerning or relating to Negroes only but I am asking you to please tell me something of Black Hawk, the Indian. MORRIS MADDEN Answer: Black Hawk, a famous, Indian Chief of the Sac and Fox tribe, was born about 1768, on the east shore of the Mississippi, near the mouth of Rock river. When about twenty years old he succeeded his father as Chief of the Sacs. In the war of 1812, he took part with England. When the remainder of the tribes removed to their reservations across the Mississippi, Black Hawk, with his followers, remained. Some years after, war began with the whites, and after a number of the whites had been massacred, the Indians were defeated and captured. A treaty was made, and the Indians were removed to the region near Fort Des Moines. Black Hawk and his two sons were taken as hostages through the cities of the east. They were confined for a time in Fortress Monroe, but were allowed to rejoin their tribes in 1833. Black Hawk died in Iowa in 1838. CAN YOU DRAW? If you draw, send in some of your sketches.

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." 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.

So read these little messages and select what you like best so you can vote for your choice. RUSSELL'S SUDDEN CHANGE Armistead S. Pride (Age 15) Why Russell had suddenly become so mannish and serious looking was puzzling his classmates, for he had never before carried himself so erect and looked so earnest as he had for the past few weeks. True it was that this was his adolescent period when most boys lose their childish instincts and become more serious and the sudden change of height occurs at this time but no one knew why he was so much in the power of these changes that he could not enjoy the jokes that his friends shared. “Going to the game this evening, Rus?” inquired one of his friends descending the steps that led to their lockers. “I don't think so, Jerry, I've some work to do.” was his brief reply. Jerry dared not say any more for fear that a matter of finance might be the cause and he didn't care to admit it. Even at home, where one would expect him to be free of thought and humor, the sudden change was noticed in Russell both by mother and father. "What's happened to Russell recently?" asked Mrs. Codd of her husband as Russell shut the kitchen door, inside of which he had just finished the last meal of the day, then, "He never goes out to play ball any more and, has to ask me for money to go to the movies, he has not done that for over a month." "Well," began the father slowly folding his napkin, "Don't worry, I 7 was like that once. Most all boys at his age become mannish and serious." She didn't. Hence she considered his actions not unusual, but another matter that perplexed her was what he did with his earnings from the Corner Grocery on Saturdays. This she kept from the father but thought of it often. Another big change that was observed in Russell at school both by teacher and classmates was an increase in knowledge of the assigned lesson which showed more preparation than had taken place before this time. A question arose that could not be answered by anyone, which proved that the students had either forgotten the solution or just didn't study. This very question happened to be one that Russell drilled on and, to the amazement and surprise of the whole class, was answered by this former dull student. The teacher, for the first time, commended him, which, of course, made him feel proud. As the time grew Russell's changes were more observable and more strengthened till it was a part that made him a perfect man. These sudden changes, of course, had some fundamental cause which was soon detected by his friends. Entering one of his classes one day, Russell was overheard by one of his friends, saying to a girl, "Don't forget Friday," with the reply "all right." What did this mean?—for it was thought that this would be the last thing in the world for Russell to do—talk with girls. And above all it sounded like an engagement had been made of some sort. Well of all things. There was no doubt about that, for a real engagement had been made and Jerry was on the lookout to see it carried out. "Well, well," he said to himself, "The guy has gone and gotten the prettiest girl down here and walking home with her. By gosh he got a nerve all of a sudden." In school Monday, Jerry approached Russell at recess and in a secluded spot conversed with him, for he had figured the thing out from the bottom on up. "There's no use in tryin," began Jerry, "to keep all this mushy stuff from us—me I mean—because I've had my eye on you and I saw you Friday." Russell was surprised to know that anyone had an idea about the matter for when he walked home—either with a male or by himself—he tried to keep out of everyone's sight. He thought that, to Jerry, it would not hurt to disclose the rumpus. "Well Jerry," he started with a smile—the first Jerry had seen in ages. "You have it all, and more is, that I met that girl last summer on my vacation but she didn't return when I did, see, she was detained for some reason or the other which I don't know. But she sure is a "Peach", isn't she?" Jerry's "I'll say" just caught Russell's ear as he hurried to respond to the ringing school bell. Later in school that day Jerry told some of his acquaintances the cause of Russell's sudden change. Of what they saw I can truthfully say that she was quite pretty. The Girls' Work Conference The Girls' Work Conference held in Philadelphia March 24 to 26 was highly successful. It was one of the rare opportunities afforded the leaders of girls to come together and discuss their work so as to unify it. The theme of the conference was Faith and great stress was laid upon the linking of the girls' work close to the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. which is training in Christian leadership. This purpose places the Girl Reserves movement a step beyond other social movements among young people, most of which have ethical rather than Christian motives.

Sweeney Meets Parents-Teachers Association On Tuesday night, March 28, Supt. of schools met the members of the Parent-Teachers Association. The meeting was held at Parker-Gray School. Supt. Sweeney told the members that he must be informed of all meetings to be held in the building. The Association is expected to inform him, through the principal of the school, of each meeting that they intend to hold in the building. This order applies to all school buildings. He stated that the School Board is opposed to any movement connected with the school which causes contributions of fees from the pupils. He suggested that if the Association arrange plans by which funds can be raised to pay a recreational instructor, the School Board would favor such. The school cannot be used on Saturday because of the extra janitor work entailed. Mr. White stated he was not in favor of having recreational training in the auditorium because of the general disorderly appearance the room would have after the exercises.
