TWO CHILDREN VICTIMS OF EASTER ACCIDENT
Going to Sunday School when Struck and Killed by Automobile

Struck and
After being neatly dressed by their mother in their pretty new Easter clothes, little Oswald Gibbs, age 7 and his sister, Irene, age 5, of 219 Q Street, N. W., kissed their parents good-bye and started on their way to sunday school at the Third Baptist Church. Five minutes after they left home, they were the victims of one of the saddest accidents of the Easter season.
Walking west on the north side of Q Street, on their way to sunday school, the children, according to testimony given at the Coroner's inquest, hesitated at the corner of New Jersey Avenue, before venturing to cross the street. Believing their way clear, hand in hand they attempted to cross the street. Just as they arrived at the north-bound street car track on New Jersey Avenue, an automobile being driven by James A. McEddy, of 108 Benning Rd., N. E., going south on New Jersey Avenue, attempted to cut into Q Street, going east and ran over the children, who were at this time standing waiting for the automobile to pass. According to witnesses, the driver of the death car evidently did not see the children or misjudged the distance between the children and his car, as he was only going at a speed estimated at about 15 miles per hour.
Immediately after striking the children, McEddy, with the assistance of bystanders, picked them up and carried them to Freedmen's Hospital. Oswald was dead when he arrived at the hospital and Irene died about an hour later.
When news of the sad accident reached the children's parents, both mother and father were grief stricken. Oswald and Irene were two of three children of Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs. Their younger brother was kept home by his mother only after some deliberation, which possibly prevented him from being also a victim of this accident. Little Oswald attended Langston School and was in the second grade. His sister attended the kindergarten at Langston School. Both attended regularly the sunday school at the Third Baptist Church. Funeral services were held from this church, Wednesday afternoon. A Coroner's jury Monday afternoon held McEddy on the charge of manslaughter, with $5000 bond. Through his counsel, Attorney Thos. L. Jones, he was released Monday evening. His case will be presented to the grand jury very soon.
NEW DELIGATESSEN OPENS
Mrs. H. L. Sewell, formerly in charge of the Old Pierce Mill, in Rock Creek Park, has opened a delicatessen shop at 2027 14th Street, N. W. Mrs. Sewell says that their rolls and pies are making patrons for the new venture and the home made pies have become the leading article.
Real old fashioned home cooking is a rare thing in a public shop and when people locate a place where they can get food well seasoned and well cooked they tell their friends about their lucky find and it is not long before that place will have a large patronage. Such is the condition at the Excelsior Delicatessen. Mrs. Sewell says that she has more demands for rolls and pies than she can fill at present. In fact her trade has increased faster than she anticipated and with her assistant, Miss L. A. Hill, they are kept quite busy.
Mrs. Stevenson Passes Away
Mrs. Edna Sevenson, age 89, mother of William Stevenson, executive*secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Assotion, departed this life Monday, April 17th, 1922 at 8:45 a. m., at Freedmen's Hospital.
Funeral services were held at James Winslow and Company's Chapel, Wednesday afternoon, the 19th.

For selling unimproved farm land near Nauck, Va., in lots of 25x100 feet, for $150 to $400, to the colored people of the Southern States, a group of white men were exposed by Attorney Mortimer M. Harris, while in Montgomery Ala., last week. The place is advertised, in very cleverly written ads, as Douglass Park, and according to a page advertisement, and a front page article, which appeared in the "Birmingham Reporter" of March 4th, 1922, anyone would think that "Douglass Park" was in the District of Columbia because there is not a single word that says that it is unimproved farm land in Virginia, or "Douglass Park, Va."
Atorney Harris stopped over in Montgomery, on his return trip from Tuskegee and while visiting one of the city schools, his attention was called, by one of the teachers, to the advertisement of the beautiful "Douglass Park" and he was asked to tell them more about it, since he was from Washington. The ad in the Birmingham Reporter had the picture of the Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools of Washington, the Y. W. C. A. building and the picture of Douglass. Around the picture of the venerable Douglass is this sentence: "Let the great big city of Washington work for you but you must own property to have Washington work for you." "Douglass Park" is prominently featured as "Washington City suburb, in the shadow of the Capitol." Every bit of information in the ad speaks of Washington and its advantages but not a single word, not even the abbreviation of Virginia appears on the page. Mr. Harris told the teacher and those present, that there was no such park in Washington, but that he had heard of the Washington Development Corporation trying to sell some unimproved farm land in Virginia, calling it Douglass Park, and were using the names of prominent colored men as endorsers of the proposition and that he had heard Atty. Wm. L. Houston of Washington say that he was going to sue this corporation for using his name.
To Editor Porter, of the East Tennessee News and editor Adams of the Birmingham Reporter Mr. Harris reaffirmed this statement, which rankled them, for the advertisement is a source of revenue to their papers and
WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922
the News came out last week with an article denouncing Attorney M. M. Harris for exposing this apparent skin game of these white men to get the money of unsuspecting colored people of the South.
The Tribune representative visited the office of the Washington Development Corporation, on F Street and found B. P. Sandlin, the secretary-treasurer in the office. He stated that the corporation was incorporated in Virginia and that at first they used "dummy directors" but now they were on a more solid footing and that S. H. Thompson, a white man of Bristol Tenn., is president; that he, Sandlin a white man, is secretary-treasurer and F. S. Westbrook, a white man of Charlotte, N. C. is vice-president. "We have sold lots in Birmingham, Knoxville, Nashville and Greensboro," said Mr. Sandlin. "We have not tried to put the lots of Douglass Park on the market here, because we have not improved the streets or anything. It is practically a diamond in the rough, so to speak," said the secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Houston's attention was called to Mr. Harris' statement by the white men selling these lots and he gave them a letter which says that he has not instituted a suit against the Washington Development Corporation "nor have I a suit pending or in contemplation against the said Park Association." We are presenting a statement from Mr. Hafris, Mr. Houston and Mr. S. M. Dudley, However, Mr. Houston's name appears in the Birmingham paper as an endorser of "Douglass Park."
Mr. Harris' Statement
To the Editor of the Tribune:
In answer to your inquiry of recent date, relative to an article appearing in the East Tennessee News on April 13, in which the East Tennessee News quotes me as saying "W. L. Houston is going to sue the Washington Development Corporation for the use of his name without his permission." Permit me to hand you herewith a statement from S. M. Dudley a lawyer of 615 F St., N. W., and one from W. L. Houston himself. These statements will show to the public that I was warranted in making the statement that "W. L. Houston is going to sue the Washington Development Corp."
NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS TO CONVENE HERE
Dr. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress has issued a call for this organization to meet here on May 2nd. At this session a Declaration of Principles for the Negro Race will be drafted by a commission. Many notable men will address the congress. Delegates from many states are expected to attend.
INTER-FRATERNAL COUNCIL STARTED
A national inter-fraternal conference was held here April 17, 18, and 19 inclusive. The conference was called under the auspices of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, with a view of establishing an Inter-Fraternal Council. There were delegates from every Negro Greek letter Society in America comprising sororities and fraternities. The organizations present were: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, and Zeta Phi Beta societies.
The conference accomplished much; the scope and influence that this group is to exercise is great; the respective organizations look forward to greater co-operation and a better mutual understanding in future years. All of the sessions were held in the Y. W. C. A. except the opening meeting which was held in the Y. M. C. A. The conference adjourned Wednesday evening April 19th at 4:00 o'clock, after which the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority served tea to the delegation and gave an impromptu social in the Y. W. C. A. The Inter-Fraternal Conference will meet in Washington, D. C., April 17th, 18th, and 19th, 1923.
With these statements I consider the matter closed.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) MORTIMER M. HARRIS
Mr. Dudley's Statement
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that I was present in Mortimer M. Harris' office, 615 F St., N. W., Washington, D. C. and heard Attorney W. L. Houston make a threat to sue the Washington Development Company for the use of his name without his permission.
At the time I had a copy of the "Birmingham Reporter" containing a full page "ad" by this corporation. I had already taken the matter up with Mr. Houston, as I had just returned from Alabama where the activities of this corporation were being widely advertised and he told me that he could not indorse it and that he intended to bring suit.
(Signed) S. M. DUDLEY
(Part of Atty. Houston's Letter is herewith reproduced)
Mr. Mortimer M. Harris,
Answering your question as to whether I had threatened to institute a suit against the Washington Development Corporation, I beg to say that in the month of Mrach, 1922, my attention was called to a copy of the Birmingham Reporter containing an advertisement of the Washington Development Corporation in which my name appeared in a list of those endorsing Douglass Park.
I stated then that no one had any authority from me to use my name in that connection and I would institute a suit against the corporation if it continued to make such publication without my authority.
I have never investigated Douglass Park; have never endorsed it and no one is authorized to use my name, stating that I have done so. If anyone claims to the contrary, let him produce my letter of endorsement.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) W. L. HOUSTON
JIM CROW SIGNS POSTED IN ROCK CREEK PARK BY HARDING APPOINTEE

JIM CROW SIG
IN ROCK CR
HARD
The colored people of Washington were amazed, disgusted and humiliated Easter Sunday and Monday, to see yellow signs, "For Colored Only," and "For White Only," printed in black letters, designating certain sections of Rock Creek Park for picnicking for colored and white people and certain tables in the Zoo for white and colored persons. As soon as the office of Col. C. O. Sherill could be reached on Monday, protests were made by Shelby J. Davidson, secretary of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. All during the day other citizens phoned their protests against the irritating signs, and in the late afternoon they were removed, with the promise that they would not appear again.
Tuesday morning a delegation from the N. A. A. C. P. composed of Shelby J. Davidson, A. H. Grimke, Prof Garnet C. Wilkinson, Judge Hewlitt and J. A. Cobb called on Col. Sherrill to register their protests against this rank discrimination. The Committee of Seven with Revs. E. D. W. Jones, Jas. L. Pinn, J. Milton Waldron, C. J. Henderson and C. M. Tanner also called on Col. Sherrill, protesting against these signs, and there was also a committee of citizens, so that the race was well represented in protesting against this bobbing up of
HOWARD WINS FROM ATLANTA
HOWARD WINS FROM ATLANTA
Howard University won the annual debate last Friday night, from Atlanta University. The subject debated was, Resolved: That the United States should cancel the debts owed by the Allied Governments.
Dr. Howard-Lincoln Hodgkins, President of George Washington University, Hon. C. R. Crissinger, Comptroller of the Currency and Hon. C. R. Wilson, United States Attorney, acted as judges. Their decision was 2 to 1 in Howard's favor.
SOL. J. PLAATJE TO LECTURE AT Y. M. C. A.
On May 7th, Mr. Sol. T. Plaatje, of South Africa, editor of the People's Friend at Kimberley and a journalist who has been lecturing in the United States for the past 12 months, will speak on "The Black Man's Burden." at the 12th Street Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Plaatje tells a story of absorbing interest and no one should miss hearing what he has to say concerning the abuses to which the natives are subjected by the British.
Prof. W. A. Joiner, formerly of Wilberforce University, will speak at the 12th St., Branch, Y. M. C. A., Sunday, April 23rd, at 4 p. m. on "The Most Essential Element in Business." The public, including ladies, is invited.
ANACOSTIA CITIZENS TO PROFIT BY DECISION
The citizens of Anacostia have won a great fight in having the Barry Farm Streets opened as public property. Condemnation proceedings have gone on for over 60 years. The decision affects owners of property west of Nichols Ave. This announcement was made at a recent meeting of the Barry Farm Citizens Association in the Stanton Road Methodist Church, last Friday night. Dr. Howard Fisher and Dr. W. C. Smith gave a stereopticon lecture. Mr. Shelby Davidson also spoke before the association.

Southern prejudice and Southern customs.
These signs were printed and placed by instructions from Col. C. O. Sherrill, who has charge of all Federal grounds and buildings in the District. He was appointed by President Harding. Col. Sherrill is a Southern man and has tried on other occasions to institute Southern race prejudice to public grounds and places of amusements. He has charge of the public bathing beach and it is thru his office that segregation has been maintained in this public utility of the District. As a result of this attitude, the 110,000 colored people of Washington are without public bathing facilities. The tennis grounds, the golf course and the baseball diamonds are all operated under the segregation plan.
Col. Sherrill's office has charge of the Old Price Mill in Rock Creek Park and for the past three years a colored woman, Mrs. H. L. Sewell, has conducted a lunch stand in this favorite refreshment house for the park. At the expiration of her lease last November, Col. Sherrill would not renew her lease, but gave it over to a white woman who is now running it. While there were no complaints of any kind against Mrs. Sewell, race prejudice could not stand for a colored woman to fill such a place.
N.A.A.C.P.DRIVE STARTS SUNDAY
The District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces every detail ready for its Membership Drive commencing April 23rd and continuing through May 15.

Up and out for a stroll on the Bul-
lyvard. There goes Jimmy Saunders
with a Prince of Wales pipe in his
mouth with a stem that measures
nearly two feet. Taking into consid-
eration, the Herculean aroma that was
being emitted from the young egg
stove, ‘twouldn’t have been a bad idea
to have let the pipe walk instead of
carrying it in his mouth.

In a recent issue of one of our race
magazines there is an autobiographi-
cal account, by one of our supposed
“leaders,” of a battle which he waged
to secure a Pullman car seat (not a
sleeping berth) to avoid a two-hundred
mile daylight ride in the jim crow car.
Being thrice armed—with abundant
‘wit and experience and some money—
he sueceeedd in eseaping the humilia-
tion.
Now, no one should think that this
is intended to be a personal thrust.
It is not; for, according to The Cynic’s
information, it is and has been the
universal practice of ALL of the “big
men” of the race, and of the most of
the lesser men who have the means,
to purchase seats in the Pullman cars
in the less rabid jim crow states; and
even in the more rabid states, those
with sufficient means can and usually
do secure the isolation of the “draw-
ing rooms” on the Pullmans. Few in-
deed of the individuals whose names
are seen in the papers ever ride or
ever did ride in the jim erow cars
where The Cynie and other coloved
people of low estate ride—from choice
or from necessity. What effect. if
any, these facts have on the existence
of the jim crow system and its prac-
tical immunity from effective attack
The Cynic does know, but that it has
considerable effect there can be no
doubt. ‘
Now there may be those who regard
that sort of thing as justifiable or even
smart. Well, if it is, it is the same
sort of smartness as that which in-
duces some of the lighter complex-
ioned colored folks to “pass for white”
when they think or hope that their
personal interests or their individual
pleasure will be augmented. Of course
if expediency or personal pleasure is
justification for whatever we may be
inclined to do, then there is fault to
be found with these practices.
It was while reflecting for the hun-
dredth time on these things that The
Cynic’s eye fell upon the headlines of
an article by Louise Bryant concern-
ing the personality and the life of
Tehicherin, the present Russian Min-
ister of Foreign Affairs, who, taking
his life in his hands, journeyed to
Genoa where he is now, making a
gallant fight in order that his govern-
ment, The Russian Socialist Federa-
tive Soviet Republic—the first bona
fide government of the (working)
people, by the (working) people, and
for the (working) people—shall’ not
perish from the earth.
Louise Bryant is the widow of the
late John Reed, that brilliant young
American reporter—college educated
and successful—who sacrificed _ his
terics. The reason: A pair of dancers
of the old school were dancing old
steps to new tunes. As the band
would play fox-trots, they did every-
thing else but fox-trot. "Twas well
worth the price of admission (what-
ever it was). Got for home; perused
all of the daily papers, including
Dolphin’s Alarm. Was impressed
with a clever bit of cartooning by Mr.
W. H. Hammond and so to Sleep City.

“career” and finally his life in Rus-
sia assisting to make secure the revo-
lution. She is personally acquainted
with Tchicherin and hence she speaks
with authority. Of him she says:
“Born -an aristocrat, trained under
the Tsar for the diplomatic service,
delicate, cultured, aloof, with a fine
gesture of Quixotic generosity, he has
thrown his life and his fortunes with
the cause of the proletariat with all
the abandon of religious fervor.”
‘Tehicherin is a bachelor and lives in
a single dingy room in the attic of the
foreign office building. Of course he
fares exactly as do other comrade
“workers” of whatever grade. As in-
dicating his single-mindedness and de-
votion to the cause, amusing stories
are told of the “plots” to which his
friends are obliged to resort to get
him to exchange his habitually ragged
clothes for presentable ones for big
occasions like the Genoa Conference.
“He eats, drinks, and sleeps with the
affairs of state,” says Miss Bryant.
He seldom leaves the building, and
when he does, it is on foot, habitually
with a ragged umbrella under his
arm. No wonder she says of him:
“His aloofness is so evident that one
can hardly find any concordance about
the astounding decision of such an ob-
vious aesthete to become an active
part of revolution—which is sweat
and blood and violence.”
Like Tchicherin, so the other leaders
of the Russian revolution—Lenin, the
Prime Minister, of aristocratic birth
but highly educated, with a half-dozen
languages at his tongue’s end and
same acquirements according. Not
‘daunted by the execution of his brother
‘for espousing the cause of the work:
‘ing people, he persisted in the same
way finding himself in due course in
a Siberian prison. He escaped, how-
ever, and when the war came on he
was a hunted exile with a price upon
his head. Trotsky, the Minister of
War, who is also well educated, has
had a similar career. He, too, was
living in exile, in New York City
(where he did odd jobs, including
pressing pants) when the war came
om
And so, likewise, has been every
effective leader of the exploited and
oppressed from Moses to Ghandi—the
latter now in prison under a six-year
sentence. Of him we read:
“A high caste Hindu, 52 years old,
Ghandi is a curious mixture of agi-
‘tator and patriot.
_ “Ghandi’s mother was intensely re-
ligious. When Ghandi, as a boy, set
out for England to study law, she
persuaded him to take a vow of chasti-
ty and of abstention from wine and
flesh. |
“It was when he returned to India
in the early nineties that his history
as an agitator began.
“Admitted an advocate of the Bom-
bay high court, he went to Natal on.
a case and, stirred by the grievances
of the people, he started his career.
“In India and South Africa, to
which he went before the Boer war,
Ghandi underwent several terms of
imprisonment.” %
When he obeyed the call of his con-
science and of his suffering brothers
he discarded all of the luxuries and
the comforts, and some say the decen-
cies, of life; he wore only a rough,
home-spun cloak, walked the burning
streets and roads of India bare-footed
and bare-headed, ate only the coars-
est, cheapest foods—no meat, no drink
except water. In short, he lived as,
and among, those to whose cause he
has dedicated his talents, his life, his
all.
Of such stuff, and of no other stuff,
must inspiring and effective leaders—
in such a cause as ours—be made. Cer-
tainly they may not have less of
democracy, devotion, and~ fellow-
feeling than Whitman claimed for
himself:
“I speak the password primeval, I
give the sign of democracy,
By God! I will accept nothing which
all cannot have their counterpart
of on the same terms.”-
Even Misery has her chuckles; and
so, occasionally has The Cynic. On
one of these occasions recently, the
chuckle came as near to a laugh as a
cynic ever gets. The occasion wis the
re-printing in the daily Alexandria
(Va.) Gazette, two columns of (in its
own words) “the words of commenda-
tion uttered [written ?] by some of the
leading critics of the United States”
in review of a book of poems’ by a
lady who is the wife of an attorney of
that city. And lo, the leading review
and the longest one quoted from these
“leading critics” is by William Stanley
Braithwaite-in his “Anthology of Ma-
gazine Verse.”
Suppose that the editor of the Ga-
zette were to find out that Braith-
waite is a——; but sh—, perhaps the
editor would not enjoy the joke.

By Jessie MacBride
Is America musical?
‘That oft repeated question has had
an answer in the affirmative that has
come out of last year’s “Music Week”
in Washington.
It comes from the colored compo-
sers of America,
The thing that has happened is this:
‘The Dunbar song leaders’ class, of
Dunbar High School, which is the col-
ored high school of Washington, or-
ganized a prize composition contést
immediately following the first Music
Weew here.
‘They sent out a circular letter last
June, one filled with enthusiasm, to
“American Negro Composers” of the
entire United States. ‘The contest has
closed. The results are so really
epoch-making that the prize commit-
tee has decided to present these prize
compositions as their program for
Music Week, 1922.
‘Twenty-four composition from
twelve composers have been received.
‘They represent, encouragingly, al-
most every class of work that was
specified. The prize-winners have
not yet been chosen, but the com-
mittee, of which Mrs. Gregoria
Frascer-Goins is chairman, is forming
a group of judges.
Concert and Compositions .
This unique Music Week concert,
of the works of contemporary Negro
composers will take place on the eve-
ning of May 29 at Dunbar High
School.
The compositions entered include
one sacred cahtata, as a chorus com-
position; the first movement of a sym-
phony, as an orchestral composition;
five anthems; one sacred song; three
secular songs; one popular work that
is in quartet arrangement; one song
suitable for -public school. use; two

spiritual as theme; three violin com-
positions, and one for piano.
‘The spiritual themes have received
splendid treatment, the manuscripts
are gratifyingly good, and beautifully
done.
The entire movement, designed to
specifically develop the great musical
gift of the Negro, is of particular
value because it connects the work
of these people, will show their uni-

Washington and the music world
will look with interest to see if out
of this contest—sent out thru
the public schools through their Com-
munity Center here—a new note in
musie will be struck.”
The concert is a mile-stone in our
music,
It is interesting to know, also, that
this will be the only event of this
kind during Music Week, and that it
remained for the colored people of
the National Capital to put it through!
The committee on prizes, with Mrs.
Fraser-Goins as chairman, has also

well known for his musical interests,
is the secretary.
‘The Music Week concert of recent
compositions by the colored people of
the entire United States, will make
May 29, 1922, a significant date in
the annals of our music, for it is to
the Negro and to the Indian that one
must look for any native music in
America.

North State Improvement Co. Succeeding
The Officers and Members of The Baptist Ministers conference of Washington and vicinity, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, President; Dr. J. I. Levings, Secretary are greatly elated over the recent addresses to the conference in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R St., between 12th and 13th Sts., N. W., Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor, by Mr. J. F. Holland, president of North State Mutual Improvement Company, Inc.
The address was a rare treat, a gem in its line and greatly enjoyed by all who had the good fortune and pleasure to hear it. Mr. Holland did not waste time with a lot of high sounding empty words, but drove direct to the point, by telling how that the Mutual Improvement Company started a few years ago with only a few dollars, and how it has advanced step by step, until now the Company controls one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of property in the District of Columbia.
The phenomenal success of this Company is incontrovertible evidence of what a few honest, capable, energetic, determined colored men can do to help their race. Money invested in this Company yields 6 per cent interest and will be returned to the investor on demand. No company can do more and no man or set of men or organizations could wish for a better opportunity to help themselves and their race, than is afforded through this Company.
The Ministers and other race loving men and women are looking forward with keen interest to the great mass meeting or conference to be held at the 12th Street branch of the Y. M. C. A. Monday, April 24th at 8 P. M. at which time we predict that the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. will be crowded to hear the outline of the plans for the greater North State Mutual Improvement. The public will be given an opportunity at this meeting to invest in this safe and sound progressive organization. Mr. J. F. Holland succeeded the late Hon. John C. Dancy as President of this Company and has more than made good since his induction in the office. The other officers follow: Mr. J. D. Lipscomb, Treasurer
Mr. H. C. Tyson, Secretary

ROMANTIC IS STORY OF GLORIA SWANSON'S PARAMOUNT PICTURE to be shown at DUNBAR THEATER Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, April 24, 25, 26, 27
James Berkeley and Allan Franklin, college chums, are rivals for the hand of Lois Miller. Berkeley's ambition is to make money. Allan is determined to be a great engineer. He leaves to realize his ideal and Berkley marries Lois. Fifteen years later, Berkeley has not made his millions, but on the theory that a show of money attracts money, he lives extravagantly and keeps his wife lavishly gowned, telling her a beautifully gowned wife is the trademark of a prosperous husband.
Meanwhile Allan has put over a great engineering project in Mexico, has been awarded a large piece of oil land by the government and now returns and calls on Berkeley. Berkeley at first refuses to see him, but learning he has been successful, has Lois invite him for dinner, hoping to get the agency for Allan's land and thus make money for himself. Allan tells him to look after his interests, and Berkeley, realizing the big financiers might reach Allan, persuades him to take a trip to Mexico.
Berkeley, realizing Allan's fondness for Lois, tells her she must go along, so Lois will go. Lois resents being used in this way but finally consents like the dutiful wife she is, warning Berkeley, however that she might fall in love with Allan. In Mexico, Allan and Lois are together a great deal. Berkeley not interfering, because he realizes this is a lever to get Allan to sign the contract, to let him handle the oil property. While riding in the lost forest, Allan saves Lois' life from an attack by a wildcat. In her moment of fear, she clings to him and each realizes ardent love for the other, but make no admissions.

Howard Presents Bill of Merit
Adhering to the diversified policy of the Howard management, patrons were the recipients of one of the cleanest cut bills that has been seen here for some time. Every act was unique in itself. Arizona Ray, the lariat thrower, got the show off to a good start with a number of difficult feats. This marked the first appearance of the lariat wonder, whose work compares favorably with that of Will Rogers. He received a hearty ovation.
Reynolds and Jones, "Jew and the Maid," are always welcome visitors, whenever they make their appearances before Capital City footlights. Jones has been doing a Hebrew character, and is all there with the Hebrew stuff. His parodies and dialect are screams. Miss Reynolds, well-gowned soubrette, has a charming manner in putting over her numbers, all of which, went over with a bang. The act is above the ordinary.
Blaine and Brown comedy duo, in an entirely new skit, has been seen here on previous engagements. Their latest offering, though a bit lengthy comprises an over abundance of good, clean, wholesome humor. Mr. Blaine has a wonderful voice, which he handles capably. Miss Brown is an exceptionally clever comedienne. She possesses an original line of eccentricities that are inimitable. But for her uproariously funny accent, the writer would have scarcely recognized her.
Jimmy Cox Trio, one of the best acts on the T. O. B. A. time, featuring Baby Cox easily got away. Jimmy, in Charlie Chaplin attire, including a pair of full bosom pantaloons, with a pair of bones in each hand, offered a novelty that was highly pleasing.
The supreme event of the evening came, when Buddha, an exceptionally mystifying illusionist, "sawed a woman in half" in the plain view of all. Besides, he performed several wonderful feats of magic.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922
Realizing she must not give way to her emotions, Lois tells Berkeley she must return home immediately. He says he will get the contract signed that evening and they will start at once. That evening, however, Allan and Lois, in the moonlit patio, are carried away by the romance of the song of a Mexican lover, serenading his sweetheart and give way to an embrace. Realizing what she has done, Lois goes to Berkeley and tells him to take her away at once. Berkeley has been informed of the kiss, but fearing he will lose the contract, refuses to be angry.
Allan follows Lois and confesses his act. When Berkeley still maintains his affable attitude, Allan becomes disgusted. Lois denounces her husband blames him for the romance and leaves. Allan disgustedly tells Berkeley that real man, would have knocked him down. The scene is interrupted by the arrival of a band of Mexican bandits. The chief bandit seeks to capture Lois. Berkeley flees in fright. Allan after a hard fight, escapes with Lois and gets safely across the border. Berkeley, in making escape has been killed. Lois and Allan's love romance grows speedily.

On this page is published this week a Baseball Directory of all teams in the District and nearby suburbs, their managers and their addresses. If any team's name is omitted, the editor would appreciate it if the managers would send names in. The Editor would also appreciate any corrections any one may have to make.
This directory is to run regularly and we would like to have it include the name of every team playing baseball in this section.
LOCAL NINES ARE URGED
TO ACTION
With the baseball season in full swing it is hoped that independent teams are prepared to give local famom some real class on the diamond. It's an established fact that no city can boast of more loyal baseball fans than the District and every effort should be made to acquire and retain their support. The Tribune will follow it's regular policy of aiding any and all teams in their effort to give the public high class baseball. In addition nothing shall be left undone by this publication toward giving local stars any deserving publicity.
Those teams not listed on the Tribune's directory are requested to register at once and thereby simplify the communication of all teams. Results of all games, schedules, and write-ups should be sent in not later than Wednesday afternoon for the current week's publication.
LAFAYETTES PLAY ATHLETICS
The Lafayettes of Alexandria, Va., will play the Washington Athletics in Alexandria, Va., Sunday, April 23, at 3:30 o'clock.
This is the Lafayettes first game, and they are expected to make a good showing.

NEWS OF THE THEATERS "QUEEN OF SHEBA"
A
QUEEN OF SHEBA WILLIAM FOX Production
Gigantic Spectacle and Story of the Worlds' Greatest Love
At Howard Theater, Sunday to Saturday April 23 to 29.
AN ALLURING STORY
The ancient kingdom of Sheba groaned under the usurper's heel. Armud, the tyrant, taking the throne by treachery, held it by ruthless deeds. The maidens of Sheba shuddered at his name, and men who had wives or daughters muttered in impotent rage. Sheba, the beautiful, the rightful ruler, dwelt with her father in their tent by the seashore. Proud in their poverty, she and her sister Nonis knew that in their veins flowed the blood of kings, and prayed for the day when the people, roused to fury by Armud's cruelties would rise and dehrone him. Thinking to deal a death blow to his
QUEEN OF SHEBA
enemies, Armud seized Nomis and carried her off to his palace. Scorning his embraces, she drowned herself in a pool. Sheba swore to avenge her sister and lay the usurper low.
By woman's wiles she won him. In marriage to Sheba he saw his opportunity to strengthen his throne and win the people's acclaim. But on the wedding night, before all the feasting guests, while the slave-girls danced and the minstrels sang, Sheba stabbed him to the heart. Then Sheba brought forth the ancient crown of Sheba, which, in fulfillment of the old prophecy, had been thrown up by the waves of the ocean before her eyes.
Sheba won the hearts of the people by her wise rule. The ancient glory of the realm returned, and its fame spread to all nations of the earth. But more glorious than all the treasures of the kingdom was the beauty of its queen. Of this men spoke everywhere, so that its renown reached the ears of great King Solomon himself, far away, across the deserts of Arabia and the burning plains of Egypt.
To him Sheba went, with a glittering caravan of elephants and camels decked with gold and silver and precious stones; and Solomon himself was dazzled by the treasures of the land of Sheba and the beauty of the queen. All his wisdom and his power he laid at her feet, and Sheba herself looked into his eyes and knew she
Stage Whispers

The Seven Spades, one of the leading dance orchestras in the South have been engaged to play for several weeks for dances and social affairs throughout the "Land of Cotton."
Mrs. Charlotte Williams, widow of Bert Williams, will receive large royalties this year from the sale of her late husband's songs.
The Olympia Theatre, Chicago had billed the appearance of "Shuffle Along Co." for May 7th, but had to be changed on account of the show which will probably be held in New York all summer.
Chris. Smith who has been writing songs for over twenty years is now connected with one of the big publishing houses in New York. His latest success is "I've Got My Habits On." Johnny Hudgins for four seasons featured comedian with the Monte Carlo Girls is now with the Chick-Chick Burlesque Co. James Miller, director of the Community Center Band in Washington, D.C., is now busy organizing the musicians into a union under the Ameri-
loved him. But they knew they must part.
Adonijah, brother to Solomon, saw now his chance to seize the throne. Profiting by the jealous ambition of the Princess Vashti, who saw that she had lost Solomon's love, he plotted with her against the king; but he found Sheba always a stumbling block to his plans.
The time came when Sheba must depart and the heart of King Solomon was heavy as she bade her farewell. Sheba visited many lands and her beauty received the homage of many kings, but she heeded none of them, remembering Solomon. When, after much wandering, she reached her own land, she brought as a gift to her people a baby prince, whom the people hailed as their king to be.
Sheba, more glorious than ever now with the beauty of motherhood, and a wiser ruler now with the faith that Solomon had given her, made her people happy. Her love endured, and when the little prince was five years old she sent him as an envoy to Solomon—who received him with great joy.
The traitor Adonijah saw in the boy a new peril to his plans. He must strike now or not at all. He called Vashti to his aid, and Vashti sought help from Egypt, the land of her fathers. Solo-

mon., warned of the plot, banished Adonijah from the realm, but Adonijah raised an army and stormed the palace and the temple, while Vashti, by a trick, seized the little prince and had him ocked in the vast Tomb of the Kings.
Assault after assault by Adonijah brought him nearer to victory. Many times his men entered the gates of the palace, only to be driven forth again. The women of the court took refuge in the great spiral Tower of David that stood in the middle of the city.
Adonijah and Vashti had reckoned without Sheba. When she learned of the loss of her son she despatched a great army across the desert to Solomon's aid, herself leading. She and her mighty host arrived at the crucial moment; Adonijah's army had entered the gates and was storming the Tower of David. Sheba's army fell upon the attackers with great slaughter Adonijah himself was killed and Solomon wounded.
It was one of Adonijah's fallen soldiers who revealed to Sheba the hiding place of the prince. She brought him out of the Tomb of the Kings and Solomon wept for joy when he saw him. For the second time Sheba turned her face to the South, and she and her prince, the fruit of her love, journeyed night and day, across the desert of Arabia and the burning plains of Egypt to the land of Sheba.

TAU DELTA SIGMA NOTES
From six until long after eight o'clock on Easter Monday evening the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity received guests, who poured in by scores. Under the direction of Gilbert Waiters, chairman of the social committee, the guests were shown the eleven rooms of the house and helped to the fitting repast which had been prepared.
Under the supervision of Herbert F. McGirt, chairman of the trustee board, the finishing touch was put on the chapter house in time and in such a manner that most favorable comment was forthcoming from all who saw the typical "frat" house.
This is the first time that the Fraternity has had an "at home." This huge success is taken to be an indication of what the members are expected to do in the years to come.
The Musical and Literary entertainment given last Wednesday evening at Metropolitan Baptist Church by the James Reese Europe Post No. 5, was a great success. Honorable Hamilton Fish, M. C., Hon. J.

URBAN LEAGUE OFFERS FELLOWSHIPS
URBAN LEAGUE OFFERS FELLOWSHIPS
New York City—The National Urban League announces that applications may now be filed for its social service fellowship for the school year 1922-'23. These fellowships are available for graduates of recognized colleges or persons who can present evidence of equivalent training. These fellowships provide for monthly payments of $50.00 for living expenses during the school year in addition to scholarships covering tuition at the leading schools of social service, such as the New York School of Social Work, New York City; the Graduate School of Social Administration of the Chicago University, Chicago, Ill.; The Simmons College of Social Work, Boston, Mass.; the Pennsylvania School for Social Service, Philadelphia, Pa.; and the Carnegie School of Technology, Pittsburg, Pa.
Already some of the most successful colored social workers have received training in these fellowships and authorities associated with the league are enthusiastic about the growth in standards of social service among colored people resfiting from these fellowship awards. The candidates are selected on the basis of personality, training, physical condition and a competitive examination showing the student's knowledge of current affairs and social service problems of the day.
Successful candidates, of course, are formally awarded the fellowships on qualifying for admission to the school to which they are assigned. Persons interested, whether north or south, should file their applications with the Educational Committee of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City.

Some years ago a Negro went to

Today this Negro, Matthew Henson,
is the only living®civilized man who
has been to the North Pole.
Recently a monument was unveiled
to the memory of Peary. Henson was
present at the ceremonies.
Monday I visited a moving picture
show and on the sereen was shown
the monument, and the wife and
daughter of Peary.
I turned and remarked to a lady
sitting next to me:
“Were Henson other than what he
is, in view of the fact of his
being the only civilized man. living
who has been to the North Pole, it
seems that such an illustrious persor
would have been photographed too.’
The lady asked me, “Who was Hen-

‘That the woodland friends o’mine
Will come up beneath the window
And join my song at cradling time
You will nestle up against me
With your tired little head
Resting ’gainst this bosom o’mine
Free from care and unafraid.
‘You will fancy that my crooning
Brings before your weary eyes
Great big birds that wear eyeglasses,
And little babes with wings o'flies.
You will fancy that the moonrays
Form themselves into gold fiddles
Played by gnomes all dressed in pur
ple
Who'll stop awhile to ask you
riddles,
You will sigh and I will take you
‘To your crib and there you'll find
Many more queer things o’fancy
Caused by my song at cradling

LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE
FRIENDS.
Dear Editor: I have just joined the
T. P. C. C. and my little sister would
like to join, too, but she is only three
years old and cannot go to school. Can
she join? This is my first letter.
ERNA F. JOHNSON (Age 8)
(Your little sister can become a
member of the T. P. C. C. I feel sure
you will read to her and tell her the
interesting things you know concern-
ing and of interest to the race.—Ed.)
Dear Editor: I am in the 6-A Grade,
Burrville School. I like the children’s
letters best of anything on the page.
WM. HARRIS (Age 12)
Dear Editor: This is the first time
T have ever sent in my answers to the
“Children’s Page.” My sister and
brother send theirs in all the time.
I will keep sending mine in, too. I
am also going to join the T. P. C. C.
I hope to be “Honor Child” or a “Spec-
ial.”
Dear Editor: I am sending in an-
swers to the puzzles this week. Please
tell me what you think of a Radio
Column. If it is satsifactory I will
send in some matter for the column.
RUFUS P. TURNER (Age 14)
(Rufus, your idea is good. Today
is the day for radio study. If you
send in matter which will prove to
be of interest to the readers of the
Page you may do so. Remember that
‘what you write must be exact. I
would suggest that you let me know
just how far advanced you are in the
study of this: subject —Ed.)
Dear Editor: I was very glad when
I found that I had won the special
prize, the volume of “Emancipation
and the Freed in American Sculpture”
by Mr. F. H. M. Murray, for sending
in the best set of names in notables
chess. I was working especially for
that although I enjoyed working the
other puzzles. Enclosed find answers
to some of the puzzles and questions.
NAOMI BROWN (Age ?)
Dear Editor: I have been reading
the “Children’s Page” for a long time
80 I thought I would try to be a “Spee-
ial” at least.
JOSEPH SUTER (Age ?)
GREATEST NEGROES
A request was made of the members
of the T. P. C. C. asking them to send
in a postal telling who they thought
was the greatest Negro of all times.
Here are two loyal T. P. C. C. mem-
bers who complied.
In answer to your request, I think
that the greatest Negro of the race
was Harriet Tubman. She did a very
great deal towards freeing slaves,
which was the first act in the pro-
Bross of our race. Next in my esti
mation is T. L’Quverture.
VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 15)
I think Miss Nannie Burroughs is
the greatest Negro because she is
molding character for the uplift of
the race.
ERMA F. JOHNSON (Age 8)
We are waiting for others of om
members. Read “I-tonic.”
OUR CONDUCT
Haven't there been times when you
have noticed children (and older folks
too) being so noisy as to make you
feel badly and sometimes embar-
rassed?
Sometimes such conduct is due to
thoughtlessness, at other times be-
cause of indifference as to the impres-
sion being made on those who are ob-
serving. In either case deterioration is
the result.
For those who are, anxious to de-
port themselves in the proper manner
ve have obtained the services of a lady
‘who is well versed in this subject.
Let EVERY Tribunite derive the
greatest benefit from this feature, the
first article of which follows:
DECORUM AND ETIQUETTE
It is the natural desire of every per-
‘son to appear to the best advantage in
‘the eyes of one’s fellow creatures. We
all wish to be admired, respected and
and loved; and there is no person
more miserable than the man who be-
lieves himself unappreciated by the
‘people into whose company he is
thrown,
| ‘There are so many things to be con-
‘sidered and provided for, that, with-
out an exact knowledge of what to
say and how to act it is impossible to
‘fulfill all requirements.
High birth and good breeding are
the privileges of the few; but the
habits and manners of a gentleman or
a lady may be acquired by all. Eti-
quette is not an art requiring the
study of a life time; on the contrary
its principles are simple and their
practical application involves only or-
dinary care and tact.
Etiquette of the Street
1. Your conduct on the street
should always be modest and digni-
fied. Loud and boisterous conversa-
tion or laughter and all undue liveli-
ness are improper in public.
2. When walking on the street do
not permit yourself to be so absent-
minded as to fail to recognize your
friends.
8. You must never leave your
friend with whom you are walking to
speak to another without first asking
him to excuse you.
4, Should a lady ask information
of a gentleman on the street, he must
raise his hat, bow, and give the de-
sired information. If unable to do s0,
he must bow and courteously express
his regrets. '

THE EASTER PRESS
By Annabelle Thornton, Age 14)
Barbara or “Bobby” as everyone
called her, was a lively, bright-eyed
little girl of eight.
Her daddy called her “Little Miss
Imagination” ‘and the name suited
her exactly, for she seemed to live
in a world of imagination and dreams.
On this particular day Bobby was
very much excited. For what? To
‘think she was going to her auntie’
Now Mrs. Lee, Bobby's mother had
sewed the vers last stiteh on thet
exquisite Easter dress and put it
where she thought it would be very
sefe. She had pat it in the top drawer
of the bureau in the guest room.
At the present moment Bobby was
assisting her mother in the kitchen.
“Do hurry, dear, your daddy will be
here soon for his dinner,” her mother
was saying to her.
“all right—Oh, mother, did you see
tuat mouse run m the dining room?”
“No I didn’t. But I've put poison
down for the rascals and cleaned every
crack and drawer.”
“That’s good!” cried Bobby.
“After dinner I am going to pack
your satchel and you may help me.”
‘At last Mr. Lee came and dinner
was served in the same pleasant man-
ner as Was usual in this home. After
dinner all pitched in and cleaned up
the dishes.
‘Then they packed the satchel. Mrs.
Lee and Bobby had put everything in
except the Easter dress. That was
‘to go on top.
“Run get your Easter dress, dearie.
‘It’s in the top drawer of the guest
chamber bureau.”
And Bobby ran off with a skip and
a hop.
In a moment—“Ah!” screamed
Bobby, “Mether! Mother! Look at my
dress!” By this time Mrs. Lee was at
Bobby's side.
“My child, what—what is the mat-
ter?”
“My dress—”
“Ah, I see, a mouse has gnawed
it.”
«those horrible mice! Mother, they
did it.””
“But, Babara,” answered her mother
after a moment’s thought, “I think
you are as bad as the mice.”
“Oh, how can you say that mother?
What do you mean?”
“Here are crumbs all over the draw-
er, a part of the cake which you had
for luncheon.”
“Oh, yes, I remember now. When
|May was here to tell me ‘Good-bye’
1 dropped it in here.”
“Well, what was the drawer doing
open?”
“I opened it to get a little peep at
my beautiful Easter dress—”
“Bobby, here is a package and a
letter for you,” called Bobby's daddy.
“For me? Oh! Oh! Oh!”
After a little tussle with the cord
the package was opened and a pale
pink organdie dress was drawn from
it’s depths.
“How beautiful!” “How exquisite!”
were the remarks made.
‘Then the letter was opened and it
read: a
Dear Bobby,
Since you are going on such a
lovely trip and won't have time to
think of me, I am sending you this
package so that you will think of me.
Lovingly,
MRS. COOK.
“She shall always be my fairy god-
mother,” cheerfully spoke Bobby.
“Daddy and mother just to think—”
| “To bed, to bed, little Miss Imagi-
nation.”
(Note: Another story was handed to
‘the editor with this story. He would
like to know whether A. T. or C. E.
wrote it. If C. £. wrote it, her age
was omitted. Please forward same
at once.—Ed.)
THE I-TONIC
| The chief trouble with the slacker
‘is that he is continually getting his
‘pronouns mixed. For instance, when
‘there is anything to be done he con-
‘stantly uses the pronoun “you.” He
says, “You suggest that plan to the
fellows.” “You start the discussion.”
“It’s up to you to get the fellows
rounded up on this plan; you can do
it better than anyone else.”
Now the proper pronoun in all those
places is I, as every loyal Tribunite
knows. Unless I am willing to
shoulder my part of the T. P. C. °C.
load, how may I expect anyone else to
shoulder his, to say nothing of should-
ering mine, too? When I belong to
something, I don’t want to be just
part of the background. If it is my
club, if I am to gain any benefit,
then it is up to me to help create that
benefit. When I see something that
needs doing in my club I believe in
my applying (Tonic to it. I'll do my
best to boost all the good plang and
help remedy all the ‘faults. That
‘will keep me too busy to go about
kicking because things are not better.

COL. SHERILL AND RACE
PREJUDICE
Col. C. O. Sherill of North Carolina has brought his Southern prejudices and Southern customs with him to Washington. They have been cropping out from time to time and culminated Easter Sunday in Rock Creek Park and the Zoo, with rank discriminatory printed signs "For Colored Only" placed on certain picnic grounds and tables in the above named places. Col. Sherrill, being a presidential appointee, reflects upon the Administration by his gross, unjustifiable and high handed efforts to humiliate one fourth of the population of the District. His actions should be brought to the attention of the President and his resignation demanded.
DR. BOWERMAN'S LETTER
In his letter last week, endeavoring to explain his position toward colored people and the policy of the Central Library, trustees in establishing branch libraries, Dr. Bowerman failed to explain.
Dr. Bowerman said he prepared a report "at the request of the District Commissioners." Further on he says: "The report was approved by the School Board and when published, formed part of the annual report of the Board of Library Trustees and also a part of the report of the District Commissioners." He tells the public here, that he is an appointee of the Library Board and as such appointee, he must carry out the instructions of the Board; that is, he says in effect, "I am convinced that segregation is humiliating to you but my job is at stake and I must protect my job;

therefore, I must obey instruction
from the bosses higher up."
Dr. Bowerman takes pains to point
out the fact that Mrs. Coralie Cook,
a colored member of the school board,
was a member of the committee which
considered and apparently approved
the report.
Dr. Bowerman says that it is not "propaganda" to say: "It is, however, assumed that branches to be established in public school buildings will be used only by the race to which the school where the branch is situated regularly ministers." If that is not "propaganda" then we are at a loss to label it. This may not be his propaganda but it is evidently someone's for it "assumes" a condition that does not exist and one may call it a "proposition" or suggestion as they please.
There is unmistakable evidence of racial propaganda going on in the Nation's fair capital. Someone is responsible for it and someone sanctions it. It is indeed a very poor government without someone in authority to assume the responsibility. So with our municipality there must be someone responsible for the reprehensible propaganda of race prejudice. Orders cannot be issued without someone to issue them. Subordinate officials have no right to assume conditions to be facts without the authority of someone. Therefore, Dr. Bowerman's letter of explanation fails to explain, in that he does not point out the person or persons proposing or inaugurating the policy of segregation and discrimination even at the Central Library. Why is it that no colored persons are employed at the Central Library, and who is responsible for it?
Board a resolution was passed, unanimously, that hereafter all teachers elected for the seven elementary grades must be graduates of an accredited Normal School, for the full two year course, the teachers recommended by the superintendent and the supervisor of instruction.

TO THE EDITOR:
Please insert this letter in your paper of this week, as this is a letter that I am anxious for my people to read, as I am sure they will appreciate it.
I wish to say that I am a woman about 30 years of age. I work in the church. I belong to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Third and I Streets, N. W. and have always wanted long hair. I would have given anything for a beautiful head of hair. I have tried everything and had a dozen hair dressers and nothing seemed to do any good. My hair remained the same, if anything, got worse.
About 4 months ago I began to use THE OLD EAST INDIAN HAIR treatment; now my hair is growing fine. It is growing on the sides. It has changed its color and in a few months my hair will be as long as anybody's and I am just pleased so much. It has grown my hair and I am sure it will grow anyone's hair who will use the full treatment according to directions.
Please take my advice, don't let people practice on your head. Get you the Old East Indian Hair Treatment today and begin to use it and you will thank me for this letter. Get the tonic, pressing oil, shampoo and pomade. You can get it at the Peoples Drug Stores, Dr. Napper, 7th and Fla.; Dr. McGuire, 9th and U; Drug Store at 7th and Q; Drug Store at 7th and O; Dr. Hailstork, 2nd and H, S. W.; Drug Store at 1st and K; Drug Store at 1812 Seventh St.; Dr. Shiply, Anacostia.
Be sure you get the Old East Indian Hair Treatment. Look for the word "The Old" and if you don't see it, don't buy it. You can get it at any drug store no matter where you live. A full treatment by mail for $1.75 and pressing oil for 50 cents. My address is 141 L St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Mrs. A. Johnson—ady.
