The Washington Tribune Butler Bros.' Garage to be Sold All the News That's Fit to Print Vol.1, No.51 GOVERNMENT TO AUCTION FOR INCOME TAXES GOVERNMENT TO AUCTION FOR INCOME TAXES The newly constructed garage of the Butler Brothers, located at 2009-2015 8th St. N.W. will be sold by the United States Government according to an announcement made last week by U. S. Commissisoner Isaac R. Hitt. This action by the Government is the outgrowth of the arrest of William J. Butler and Eddie Butler early in last October on the charge of having and selling whiskey. After their arrest, various Government agencies began to compute the various taxes due the Government and among them was an item for $24,083.41 for income tax. As the Butler Brothers failed to pay this tax, the Government confiscated the new garage building to cover the amount. The building will be sold at public auction by the Government in front of the property on May 5th. The garage building is one of the most modern buildings of its kind in Washington and is located in one of the best sections of the city. Strong efforts will be made by local Colored business men to buy the property in and thereby keep it within the race. The building was designed and built entirely by Colored mechanics and laborers and is a very imposing structure, two stories in height, 72x120 feet. The news of the Government's action in confiscating the Butler Brothers' property came as a complete surprise to their many friends. Whether they will make an effort to buy the property in themselves could not be learned. ALEXANDRIA LAWYER FIRST IN FIFTEEN YEARS TO TRY CASE IN CORPORATION ALEXANDRIA LAWYER FIRST IN FIFTEEN YEARS TO TRY CASE IN CORPORATION COURT Alexandria, Va.—For the first time in fifteen years a colored lawyer has appeared before the Corporation Court of this city. A. H. Collins defended Robert Skelton and Graham White, two youths charged with assault and robbery of Ephram Brown on March, 18th. The third boy in the case was Westley Thompson who had a white lawyer defending him. The cases came up for separate trials April 6th. The jury in White's case was out for an hour and a half and could come to no agreement. Upon second consideration of twenty-five minutes they rendered a verdict of larceny with imprisonment for one year. Later, a similar verdict was rendered in the cases of Skelton and Thompson. From general comment Thompson should have been acquitted as Brown asserted that he could not identify him. Lawyer Collins now has Thompson's case. The boys are out on bail, having ninety days to appeal to a higher court. Lawyer Collins needs the commendation of the race. He was called to the bar and commended by the Judge of the Court. He has proven that a Negro can appear before a higher tribunal than the police court. He recently defended Charles Sparrow, a fifteen year old boy, charged with rape. Sparrow was acquitted. Mr. Collins has been in Alexandria for two years, formerly practicing in Norfolk, Va. He is active in local Civic affairs and is progressive and far sighted. HOWARD UNIVERSITY BAND TO PLAY The Howard University Military Band will be heard in concert under the guiding baton of Dorcy T. Rhodes at the Howard Theatre Saturday afternoon and evening, May 6th, 1922. This Band was organized a little over a year ago and made its initial bow to the Washington Public on March 20 and 21 at the Republic Theatre.

C. P., which started last Sunday, is progressing fine according to reports given out from headquarters this week. Many mass meetings are scheduled for the coming week, at which many prominent speakers will appear. One of the most notable addresses made last week was the one by Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, the only Republican Congressman from Texas. The address of Cong. Wurzbach created quite a stir in his home state. Next Sunday evening Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, will address a mass meeting at the Zion Baptist Church on F St., between 3rd and 4½ Sts., S. W. Another big mass meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church on 14th Street. Large crowds are expected to attend both of these meetings. The local branch is endeavoring to lead all the other branches of the association in members and the local secretary, Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, is asking all of Washington to assist him. Prof. Charles H. Thomas who for over two years has been connected with The Washington Colored American, announced this week that he would not be connected with The American after May 1st. Prof. Thomas has been writing for The American under the title "Ironquill." Just what his plans are for the future could not be learned. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 By J. A. G. LuValle A new department known as "The Department of Educational Measurement and Research" has been added in the colored schools of Washington, since Prof Garnet C. Wilkinson, assumed the duties of assistant superintendent. More than a hundred teachers are taking the course thru the Columbia University Extension Course on "Tests and Measurements," given at the Shaw Junior High School every Saturday. There is another group of teachers who meet with Prof. J. C. Bruce, who is the director of the department, twice a month at the Armstrong School. These teachers are being prepared to measure and test the children beginning with the next term of school. Statistics collected in hundreds of cities in this country, show that between a third and half of the school children fail to progress thru their grades satisfactorily and therefore, there is an overlapping in the expenditure of the public money for reteaching children who failed to make their grades. It is estimated that fully $40,000,000 are thrown away each year in this manner. Various reforms have been tried to correct this evil but have proven of little service. Thru the educational tests of the Binet-Simon method and the improved Stanford revision, it has been found that children do not fall into well defined groups: feeble minded and normal. There are many grades of intelligence ranging from idiocy to genius. Even among those classed as "normal" there are found vast individual differences. In Speaking of these tests Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson said: "We are beginning to realize that the school must take into account the existence and significance of these differences of the children. Instead of trying to hold the mentally defective up to a grade of progress and the mentally alert back to a normal grade of progress we shall test the children and adjust the classes in such a way as to more equally classify the defectives, the normals and the superiors. By so doing the superior children may be able to make three years in two years while the normals will pursue the regular course and the defectives be given more time than normal children. Often failure crushes self-confidence and destroys the spirit of the work. Therefore, by this department, with a man in full charge, we hope to test and adjust each child and thereby so improve our system as to be in the forefront and render a service that cannot be estimated." When instructions must be repeated it means that the school as well as the student has failed. Tests and forethought must take the place of failure and patchwork. Some very interesting facts have been brought out thru these intellectual tests. One is that two per cent of the children enrolled, have a degree of intelligence which will never develop beyond the age of the average 12 year old child. In other words they are high grade feeble-minded children. Another fact is that fully 25 per cent of all criminals that have been tested are mentally weak. Another fact brought out by the tests is that children of superior ability are often misunderstood and too often discouraged. These tests also prove that there is very little difference between the mental ability of boys and girls of the same class up to fourteen years old. Teachers should be better trained in detecting the signs of superior ability. Every child who consistently gets high marks with small effort should be given the tests and if his intelligence level warrants it, he should be placed in a class of that level regardless of his present class. DR. A. L. CURTIS AND WIFE SAIL FOR EUROPE DR. A. L. CURTIS AND WIFE SAIL FOR EUROPE Dr. Arthur L. Curtis of 1717 You Street, N. W., son of Dr. A. M. Curtis and one of the most prominent physicians in Washington, sailed for Paris at noon Thursday, April 27th on the giant liner Rockambeau. Dr. Curtis is accompanied by his wife. They expect to be in Europe for about six months. While abroad Dr. Curtis will attend the University of Paris where he will take a special course in surgery for three months. Later he will go to the famous University of Vienna where he will study for one month. While in Europe he, and his wife will visit the battlefields and other places of interest. Legislature Passes Anti-Lynching Resolve Boston, Mass, April 25, 1922—Yesterday the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed the Anti-Lynching resolution petitioned for by the National League of Colored Americans for Equal Rights, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, which calls on the U. S. Senate and its judiciary committee to enact federal legislation against lynching. A delegation of the League, headed by Secretary, Wm. Monroe Trotter, sat in the gallery and thanked Representatives Meyers and Kidder after the vote. The Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. petitioned each member of the House for the resolution, evincing a spirit of cooperation. The passage is of special significance as Sen. Lodge is the Republican leader of the Senate. RACE ARTIST SINGS FOR RADIO New Orleans, La.—Black Swan Troubadours and Ethel Waters company, composed of singers and players who make Black Swan Records and who have been on tour for over five months, attracted so much attention that the New Orleans Daily Item, one of the largest white dailies in the South, engaged the Company to sing and play their famous Jazz numbers, over the Radiophone through the New Orleans, broadcasting station. The concert was heard in five states and in Mexico and thousands of radio fans listened to a colored girl sing through the air. Miss Waters, who has broken many records on this trip, adds another star to her laurels by being the first Colored girl to sing over the radio. She was accompanied by the Black Swan Jazz Masters under the direction of F. H. Henderson, Jr. The future welfare of the race hinges, in no small degree, on the right education of these superior children. The progress of the race today depends upon the advance made by our creative thinkers and leaders in science, art, commerce, mortality and religion. Moderate ability can follow or imitate but genius must blaze the way. We should reverse our system of education and like Japan, educate from the top down instead of from the bottom up. Therefore, thru the handicapping influences of race, social neglect, physical defects, and educational discrimination and maladjustment, many of our potential leaders in art, science, government, and industry are denied the opportunity of a normal development. Hail the Tests! DR: CROSSLAND REDUCED IN HIS ACTIVITIES to be DR: CROSSLAN RACE ARTISTS TO HOLD SHOW HERE Three years ago, recognizing the discouraging conditions which surrounded the colored art worker in America, William D. Nixon and Samuel D. Milton of the art department of Dunbar High School organized a movement looking forward to the establishment of a central gallery for annual exhibitions of original painting and sculpture by our people. The Third Annual exhibition which will be held the latter part of May of this year, in the exhibition rooms of Dunbar, promises to surpass former efforts in both quantity and quality of work. The Washington public will be given an opportunity to see, for the first time, May Howard Jackson's remarkable piece of sculpture, "The Brotherhood," which had a prominent place in a recent exhibition of The Society of Independent Artists at the Waldorf Astoria, together with several other pieces of great artistic merit of this talented sculptress. The noted painter, W. Edouard Scott, who was the first colored man commissioned to execute mural decorations in a state public building, has promised to send three or four of his paintings. His long residence in the art colony of Paris well fits him to conduct the Beaux Arts Studio of Chicago. W. M. Farrow, another colored artist of Chicago, who spent several years abroad in art study and who is now connected with the Art Institute of Chicago, will be well represented in the coming exhibition. There will be shown works of artists from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama and other states. The untiring efforts of the present officials in presenting to the public the Third Annual Exhibition is to be commended. The present officers of the Tanner Art League are: William D. Nixon, president; Samuel D. Milton first vice-president; Boynton C. Dodson, second vice-president; Dr. John E. Washington, third vice-president; Rosa L. Nixon, secretary; Samuel O. Collins, treasurer. Pace Phono. Corp. Acquires Plant Pace Phono. Corp. Acquires Plant New York, N. Y.—At a sale of the phonograph record pressing plant of the Remington Phonograph Corporation, the successful bidder and purchaser of the plant was the representative of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, makers of the Colored Black Swan Records and of which Black Swan Records, of which Harry H. Pace, is president. An interesting feature of the sale is that it was in this plant that Mr. Pace first began to make phonograph records. The hostility of certain large white companies to his entering the record business was so great that they purchased this plant from its then owners and sold it to the Remington concern in order to shut off Mr. Pace's facilities for manufacturing. Undaunted he went ahead and in the face of many obstacles placed the Black Swan Record on the market. In twelve months the company he organized has been so successful and made so much profit that it was able to buy the same plant that its white competitors had sought to keep it out of a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar W. Blackstone (nee Miss Helen M. Lyons) were married by Rev. W. D. Battle. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Sold D REDUCED HIS ACTIVITIES Coming to Washington last September as a "Special Expert" without knowledge of the amount of work that he would have to do; being placed in charge of all the activities concerning colored ex-soldiers; having been placed in large spacious quarters on the eleventh floor of the Veterans Bureau building and then reduced to one branch of the activities that he was supposed to perform and sent back to a small office on the seventh floor, is the record of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo., now in charge of the rehabilitation of the colored ex-soldier. Late in the month of last September, Dr. Crossland was ordered to make a survey of schools where colored soldiers were taking courses. On his return from this trip he found himself without a desk or even a chair to sit on. Capt. Campbell C. Johnson who has charge of a division on the 11th floor of the Veterans build-with a large force occupying three rooms, came to Dr. Crossland's aid and offered him space in his quarters until such time as Dr. Crossland could get better fixed. Dr. Crossland moved in and Capt. Johnson furnished him with a table until the "Special Expert" could secure a desk. Capt. Johnson also let Dr. Crossland have the use of one of his stenographers. According to reliable information, everything went along fairly well until Dr. Crossland became at loggerheads with Capt. Johnson who is a Civil Service man. It is then alleged that the "Special Expert" filed charges against Capt. Johnson of inefficiency, which were later dismissed as being unfounded. Later it is further alleged that Dr. Crossland filed more charges against Capt. Johnson, this time charging him with taking papers out of a file, which is a very serious charge in the Government service. However, the board of investigators it is alleged, also dismissed this as being without foundation. Seeing that it was impossible for Dr. Crossland to get along with Capt. Johnson who had befriended him, Dr. Crossland's department was moved back to the 7th floor, in much smaller quarters than he had on the 11th floor. An investigation of the new quarters now occupied by Dr. Crossland also reveals the fact that his activities have also been reduced. Instead of having charge of the soldiers' insurance, claims, complaints, hospitalization and rehabilitation, he now has charge of only the rehabilitation. The list compiled in his office up to April 25th showed that there are about 1056 men in this department who are placed at the various schools. A Tribune reporter found that Dr. Crossland's work is almost reduced to that of a clerk. Instead of having the large office force which he stated last year he would have, he now has about three or four clerks. As Dr. Crossland was out of the city when the reporter called at his office, no information could be secured from him. It is very apparent from sentiment expressed throughout the various departments in the Veterans' Building, that Dr. Crossland has made a bad name for himself. It is well known that he is very unpopular with the soldiers, especially with the men who are connected with the American Legion. MRS. BERTIE MASSENBURG GRANTED DIVORGE Mrs. Bertie Massenburg of 654 E Street, S. E., was successful in securing an interlocutary decree of divorce from her husband, William Massenburg, et al, in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, before Justice Hoehling. The final decree of an absolute divorce will be entered in accordance with the court rules, which will restore her maiden name. + X I We have 28 cars, you ean call at any time A \ Phone Main 94 or Franklin 600 co BROWN & GREEN - ff a Ms oS ee - TAXICAB CO. rasaete , tee, Office: 1139 17th St, N.

But now comes the realization that it has gotten abroad that his mentality also is more than defective; for, un- solicited and unexpected, within a few days there have come communications which are calculated to give even a confirmed egotist (as some say he is) a mortifying shaking down. One communication from “The Na- tional Bureau of Analysis” says: “Dear Sir:— “Within the next few days our spec- ial representative, Mr. ———, will call upon you for a three minute hear- ing to explain the purpose and opera- tion of our Stay-Well Service. “Since this service is tested, en- dorsed and recommended” ete.

We reflect upon the greatness of the victory wherewith this one has overcome, and ashamed of weakness and complaint we press forward to- ward “the mark of higher calling.” The Afro-American History Story elling Association, not yet able to com- memorate a pureand noble spirit by a stately monument, yet must needs place upon her mound a wreath of Home Treatment AT AT ONCE , Constipation, Kidneys, Blad- ramps, Sore Throat, Tonsilitis, Asthma, Hay Fever, Hair and THERN, E. D. 7, Wash., D. C. OINT fragrant ~ blossoms—must needs ex- press for the benefit of as many as will hear, its appraisal of the worth of one who might well typify the best in womanhood achieved by the race in this country; one whose soul had woven into its very fibre the love of her own people; one who knew the val- ue of the white light of truth turned upon its forgotten deeds of valor, and ‘one who counted no sacrifice too great to bring this light to bear. Miss Laura E. Wilkes, was a pro- duct of the schools of Washington. After graduating from the normal school she taught in the District where she served in various sections for at least twenty-five years, The service given was of exceptional value, be- cause of her rare nature of refinement which spoke in every turn of her beautiful voice, and proclaimed itself in every,movement of her dignified bearing; she felt fhat a mew race ag . i. ‘ a e >. a... Se oF MISS LAURA F. WILKES GECSp Woe Teoma oe ee ee of self-respect; she felt that the racial record was capable of inspiring such respect when known. The problem, how supply the historical data neces- sary? It was not compiled, though ex- tant—someone must begin. “Why not I?” she queried, and when the resolve was once made she toiled year after year, spending what she could of a teacher’s pittance in re- search work, As the fruit of her toil she has left a simple, clear-cut narrative of the “Life of Frederick Douglass” and invaluable data about the Negro’s military record from 1641 to 1815, This work is en- titled “Missing Pages of American History” and its very name suggests ‘the mind of a poet and seer. So pee while is this information to the seeker after truth that the book has found place as a reference work, in the libraries of Harvard, Howard; ‘Princeton, Columbia University, the University of Virginia, and many other | institutions of learning throughout the country as well as Public libraries. After the publication of “Missing Pages” Miss Wilkes engaged in the compilation of data for a publication on the achievements of noted men and women of color. This work will not die with her, but will be completed by |her brother, William H. Wilkes, of 85 |Prentiss Street, Cambridge, Mass. | This brother, will also have under his | control the other two books. | It is a mark of the great Minister es humanity, when such a one secks prepare successors to carry forward a cherished plan. Miss Wilkes did not eave this phase unnoted, but founded | an association of public spirited teach- ers to whom she gave her confidence, and upon whom she impressed the necessity of recording the deeds of our own heroes, and teaching them to the children. This the Association will strive to do. It is a source of much gratification that Miss Wilkes received some of ‘the recognition of worth, due her brilliant work before her death. She was highly commended by her super- visor and fellow teachers, and was in demand for many lectures and at many Summer Institutes throughout the South. The last illness of Miss Wilkes was brief, but very severe; she prepared herself for it, and met her end with the brave words, “God’s will is mine.” She was a Christian of real worth and modesty, a long time member of St. Luke's P. E. Church from which she was carried to her last resting place, honored alike by the highest officials of the school system, and the best citizens of .the Community. Miss Wilkes is survived by two sisters and two brothers. Tt is not accorded to many to live ‘a life more pure, honorable, gentle, or jserviceable.So much of rare ability is ‘the endowment of but few; but the talents entrusted to her stewardship were not hidden away to corrode, but were multiplied and increased so that she may go before her Lord and merit the recommendation of Him who “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Faithfully has she followed in the footsteps of her Master.

CYPIANS CLOSE SUCCESSFUL SEASON The St. Cyprian's Basketball team under the leadership of Capt. Slade, experienced a successful season on the court. The team was only outclassed in one game, that with the Holy Name Guild which team scored a one sided victory of 45 to 13. The Regulars won 7 games and lost 5, while the Reserves won 5 and lost 3. Total number of points scored by the first team was 364 against 366 of their opponents. The Reserves scored 128 to 149 of the opposing quints. The high point scorers were Booze and Slade, scoring 93 and 91 points respectively. Booze proved a hard player to keep from scoring. The development of Wilkes into a regular guard was a noticeable feature of the Regular squad. The baseball team is hard at practice rounding into form. ST. CYPRIANS AND ORIENTAL TIGERS TO STAGE BRILLIANT OPENING The Amateur baseball season is to be fully opened on all diamonds here next Sunday and Monday. Practically every team plans to make their bow by this time. The biggest game of the week will probably be the grand opening at Union League Park, 15th and H Sts., N.E. between the St. Cyprians and Oriental Tigers. These two teams have been especially primed for this affair and a good game will be assured all the fans who attend. - Brilliant ceremonies will attend the opening of this game. The Odd Fellows Band will start a street parade at 2:45 p. m. and march to the grounds and they will play during the game. Recorder of Deeds, Arthur G. Free is slated to pitch the first ball. A monster crowd is expected to attend this game. Both teams are confident of victory and a hard game is expected. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE SEASON OPENS MONDAY Banner Season Anticipated At 4:30 Monday afternoon, May 1st, on Monument lot diamond No. 8, the Colored Departmental League will get under way. Never before has there been so much interest manifested in the activities of this league. Since the close of last season, officials have been planning to make this a banner year. Ten teams, the largest circuit in the city, are lined-up to make this year's race the most exciting in the history of the league. The Treasury and Post Office teams will clash on opening day. From then until late September, games will be played every week day according to schedule. Hundreds of government employees have daily enjoyed the league games in the past and greater numbers are expected out during the coming season. ST. PAUL DEFEATS LINCOLN TWICE Lawrenceville, Va.-St. Paul Normal and Industrial Inst., of this city defeated Lincoln University in a two game series. The "Keystoners" lost the first game by the score of 14 to 2, and the second game by the score of 7 to 6. The all-round playing of the St. Paul team was a feature of both games. Capt. Walker of St. Paul, after winning the first game, went into the second game after Williams became wild, and saved the day for the home boys. St. Paul defeated Dinwiddie Normal Inst., in a one sided game last Easter Monday by the score of 19 to 4. ATHLETICS SWAMP SOLDIERS The Washington Athletics met and defeated the Fort Myer Service Detachment team last Sunday on their Georgetown grounds, by the score of 23 to 3. The Athletics completely outclassed the soldier boys in every department. The game finally resolved itself into a practice game for the Athletics. A fair crowd turned out. JUNIOR TEAM DESIRES GAMES The St. Cyprian Cuts have issued a challenge to all junior teams between the age of 13 to 16. The Cubs are out for the championship this year and are anxious to meet all comers. For game, phone Lincoln 7450-J. QUICK STEPS WIN OPENER The Washington Quick Steps opened the season last Sunday, April 23rd, by beating the well known Lincoln A. C by the score of 14 to 6. The playing of the Quick Steps was a feature. TIGERS SWAMP GIANTS By H. Scott We journeyed to Union League Park last Sunday and saw the LeDroit Tigers down the Washington Giants 14 to 0. The game was scheduled to start at 3 o'clock but not until 4:30 o'clock did the 200 real fans who braved the chilly breeze to witness the game hear the cry "play ball." The hold-up was due to the non-appearance of two Giants and only after two Tigers were made Giants did the fun begin. It was a poor game to get a line on a team but unless we miss our guess the Tigers are in for a big season. Truly a formidable combination with a well-rounded infield composed of Collins, Foster, Kenner and Baylor, a superb garden trio in Jefferson, Budd and Smith and a clever receiver in Davis. Wheeler on the mound allowed the Giants but two hits and as the weather grows warmer he should be unbeatable. The next appearance of the Giants may enable us to get a line on them, for aside from a flashy short-stop in Harris and two old-timers, Titt and Barber, still able however to hold their own, the team showed nothing. It was nice to look upon those Tigers uniformed and equipped like big leaguers. TON ATHLETICS JUNIOR The Lafayette of Alexandria won their first game of the season by defeating the Washington Athletics Jr. by a score of 12 to 10. Both teams showed plainly that they were still in their first stages of training. BASKETBALL CLOSES AT HOWARD The last game among the teams of the Howard Basketball Leagues was played April 6th in Spaulding Casino, Delta Big Five was the winner from League A; the Lightning Five was winner from League B. The champion team is to receive a gold cup from the Department of Physical Education. The final game between these two teams was played at Murray Casino Saturday April 22nd at 5 p. m.; Delta representing Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the Lightning Five, represent the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. The game was one of the most interesting of the entire season. Both teams battled hard from start to finish with all the energy and grit that they were worth. The winning team really deserved a victory, for it fought a gruelling battle for it. There was warm applauding from the side lines from both fraternities and their friends. A shock to Omega was the ruling out of the game of their famous forward, Richardson, for roughing; Omega lost a player but Lee and Marshall actually played his part. Jack Atkins of Yale Law School, a member of the "Yale Law Review" and Grand Basileus of the Omega Psi Phi was on the side lines. Baby Kean played a wonderful game. Cute Carter played exceptionally well. Lowry was Alpha's outstanding player. Clarkson and Dash were not in a playing mood seemingly, but Carr did well.

SPORTING NOTES By H. Scott The Piedmonts defeated the Bennings Tigers Sunday 6 to 3. Capt Bland broke the game up with a homer with two men on in the 6th. The Piedmonts are in line for games with the leading city teams listed in the Tribune's directory. The Howard Freshmen nine is reputed to be stronger than the varsity. At any rate they are affording all the enthusiasm. Who remembers when Howard's baseball teams used to tour the south and in addition have strong schedules on the hill? The Bladensburg Athletics downed the Md. White Socks on the latter's diamond Sunday 7 to 4. Brooks the winning pitcher hurled a nice game while the Socks twirlers, Williams and The public is guaranteed a red-hot contest full of pep and fun. Prizes to winners Gilmore were batted hard. The drawing of the "color line" by Harry Greb was probably more directly aimed at Kid Norfolk than any other fighter. Poor Kid, he must concede 25 or 30 pounds to get a fight. Burrell Kenner well known in local baseball and basketball circles is booked to leave this week to join the Harrisburg Giants. It is reported that Harry Wills in the near future will follow the white heavyweight champion to foreign lands. London promoters are anxious to stage the Dempsey-Wills match and with both fighters on the grounds the arrangements should be easy especially in a country where prejudice is supposed to be unknown. To demonstrate his class the Colored challenger has expressed his willingness to meet Carpentier, Beckett and Lewis all in the same night. The North East Tigers have open dates for all comers.

DOUGLASS TELLS THE CHILDREN A STORY Once upon a time our beloved Fred- erick Douglass visited a school in Tal- bot County, Md. His audience was composed of little brown, black, and yellow flowers such as you are. His story to these children was as follows: “I once knew a little colored boy whose father and mother died when he ‘was six years old, He was a slave and had’no one to care for him. He slept on a dirt floor in a hovel and in cold weather he would crawl into a meal bag, head first, and leave his feet in the ashes to keep them warm. Of- ten he would roast an ear of corn and eat it to satisfy his hunger. Many a time he crawled under the barn or stable and secured eggs, which he roasted in the fire to at. “This boy did not wear pants like you do, but he wore a tow linen shirt. Schools were unknown to him, and he learned to spell from one of Webster's spelling books, and to read and write from posters on fences and barn doors, while boys and men who knew how to read would help him. He later preach- ed and made speeches and later be- came well known. He finally held several high positions and aedumu- lated some wealth. He wore broad- cloth and did not have to divide crumbs with the dogs under the table. That boy was Frederick Douglass. “What was possible for me is pos- sible for you. Do not think because you are colored you cannot accomplish anything. Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge. So long as you re- main in ignorance, so long will you fail to command the respect of your fellow men.” CONCERNING BLACK | We have accepted the white man’s teachings from books written by white men and we have learned to believe that there is no beauty in black. The beauty of the stars and the bril. lianey of the moon would be void of all their splendor were it not for the blackness of the night. A diamond is valued for it’s rarety more than for it’s beauty. The black diamond surpasses its more common rival because a black diamond is actu- ally beautiful. To be black, and proud you are black ig as you should be. It is 0 tri- bute to God to be pleased with his divine intents. | A thing is beautiful indeed when it is black and beautiful. It is no more to be ashamed of black skin than it is to be ashamed ‘olf bladk hhale or éves. When the day turns black ‘tis then that all nature hush their faintest whisperings; because with the black- ness of the day comes the wonderfully dreadful wrath of God. God made you black, 0, race of mine,—why then are you so discon- tented? - God has made no law for the white that is not made for the black.

Brawner is my teacher. I am in the 6-B Grade. I live at 109 Capitol Ave., Ivy City. ANNIE B. QUANDER (Age ?) (Only those sending in applications on post cards are accepted as members in the T. P. C. C. We hope to receive your card at an early date—Ed.) Dear Editor: This is my first letter to you. I have been reading the “Child. ten’s Page” for a-Idhg time and 1 thought.I would try my luck on the puzzles and send them in this week. I have been getting them right each week. I go to Dunbar High School. Your new friend. LUCILLE PAYNE (Age 14) (Welcome! We are sorry you would not send in your answers before now, since you have admitted how you have been solving them. We hope to hear from you often—Ed.) Dear Editor: I am again writing to you. I hope you will accept my thanks for putting my messy Easter poem and letter in the paper. I was very much surprised to find them. I hope soon to become an “Honor Child.” INEZ WILLISTON (Age 10) (Dear Inez, those who think that what they do is of no value, find that what they do, is of value a great many times. Your letter and poem were not as messy as you think. Because the third line in your Eas- ter poem reads: “I know you've came a little while” is no cause for you to worry. (I think it is causing you to worry.) That mis- take is what we call a typographical error. An error of this sort is made by the printer and in newspaper work, happens very often.—Ed.) NEGRO JINGLES “F” stands for Folksongs, We all love so well; And also for Folklore Our fond mothers tell. Beazel, beany, byny bie, Bake for me a pickel pie; Make it thick and deep and tall And I'll eat it—erust and all. Have you seen the stars ashining In the middle of the day? Have you seen the stars ashining ‘As you romp and play? No you've never seen them shining— But this fact to you I'll tell You can see the stars in daytime From the bottom of a well. (Note: It is true that were you to be lowered into a well you could look up and see the stars shining in the daytime. The sky is full of stars at all times, We see them best at night because we are in the shadow of the earth. The earth is between us and the sun and the dark space which we call night has the same effect upon our vision, allowing us to see the stars. Ask your teacher to explain this to you.—Ed.) DECORUM AND ETIQUETTE ‘We all know a gentleman or a lady when we meet one, no matter in what garb or under what circumstances. To be a gentleman or lady implies the possession of certain qualities which are always the same. It implies, first a high degree of self-respect, only equalled by a keen sense of the respect and estimation in which others have a right to be held. It implies, further, a cultivated delicacy of taste and feel- ing, a just recognition of what is due to superiors and inferiors, and above all a generous and hearty appreciation of the claims of the opposite sex. To this may be added a certain amount of education, and a perfect familiarity with the customs and usages of good society. Etiquette of the Street 1. If you have anything to say to a lady whom you happen to meet in the street, do not stop her, but turn round and walk with her; you can take leave at the corner of the street. 2. When two gentlemen accompany a lady in a walk, she should place her- self betwen them and not unduly favor either. 8. A gentleman meeting a lady friend accompanied by another gen- tleman should not join her unless sat- isfied that his presence is agreeable to both parties. ‘ 4. A lady does not form acquaint- ances upon the street, or seek to at- tract the attention of the other sex or persons of her own sex. Her con- duct should always be modest and un- assuming. 5. A lady never demands services or favors from gentlemen. She ac- cepts them graciously, always express- ing her thanks.

Poets’ Corner Perhaps ere now many of our read- ers have become accustomed to the name of George M. McCorkle. He is one of the first contributors of poetry to this paper. Each of Mr. McCorkle’s poems show an. advancement in tech- nique. His rhythm is exceptional in this timely tribute to our beloved Bert Williams. BERT WILLIAMS Ambition seized and thrilled his soul While marching on his way; His dreams revealed to him the goal Which he would reach some day. When difficulties, with a host, Faced him in full gray, He laughed to scorn and made a boast ‘That he would make his way. On! on he marched with lifted head To realize his aim. With steady and continuous tread To make himself a name. With that invincible desire, Bert reached tKe highest peak; His life shall millions more inspire Some worthy cause to seek. When Williams spoke, the world took heed, Because he brought good cheer; He made a hearty laugh his creed Which dried the falling tear. He laughed, but in his deepest soul ‘There burned a bright desire, Inscribed upon a lasting scroll To lift his people higher. The rising youth of his own race Should stop a while to look, For in his life there you will find A rare and useful book. GEORGE W. McCORKLE The following poem “The Lyncher” is from the pen of a white writer. We mention this fact for two reasons, First because there are certain white people who are, of course, opposed to man’s inhumantiy to man; and sec- ondly, because we would not have our little readers contribute a writing to a writer of our people which is the work of some other person. THE LYNCHER Shudder, stars! and hide for shame, nude night! Beholding this, humanity burned alive This fearful sight, this black man filled with fright. Melt, Oh! moon! weep, ye willows! While the flames do dance and dive O’er that burnt breast, which heaves like boiling billows. There is a time to come When justice shall prevail The weird, white lightnings of revolt will leap And autocrats grow pale. q Then, still in slimy scum The last lean lyncher shall forever sleep. : EDWARD J. IRVINE LISTEN, CHILDREN If I was a child just once more, And my, parents would speak to me, Every command I’d heed much more And now I'd be happier, you see. Mothers and fathers know quite well The things that a child should do; So listen, little ones, to the story they tell, When grown, you'll find they were true. JOHN S. AGENOR INVINCIBLE DETERMINATION Invincible Determination makes a way, In spite of obstacles and failures, to its goal Because it undertakes its task with heart and soul; And does not yield to Grim Despair, who seeks to prey On those whose fortitude declines from day to day. Those who would be successful must have self-control For numerous are the temptations which cajole, The tnnfepecting mortals who are led astray. 0 let us not become discouraged when we fail, Be more determined than before— start out again; And in due time Success will move away the veil Of Stern Adversity; for nothing is in vain That truly is worth while; and so while here we sail On Life’s sea let us do our best and not complain.

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS, at 3 O'clock Prominent Speakers OUR SECOND EMANCIPATION "Knowledge is power" is a phrase that held good for a long time. It has been supplanted by "The Dollar is power" which is dominating the world today. The dollar has been characterized as one's best friend and when a person is "broke," he has precious few friends, so with a race, a nation. Have you realized that our people have enslaved their dollars and it is from this enslavement that we are to make our Second Emancipation? The colored people of this city have more than $25,000,000 on deposit in the white banks of Washington, while they have less than $500,000 on deposit with the two colored banks. This money is being used constantly against the very persons who have deposited it there. We are using our own money to enslave ourselves. Every time we purchase an article at a white establishment; each time we make a deposit in a white bank; every time we secure the services of a white professional man or woman we are enslaving ourselves—purchasing our own slavery. We are not free and will never be, so long as we are dependent upon the other fellow for a place to purchase our food stuff, our clothing, our shoes, our furniture and wait for him Automobile Repairing in all its branches ROBERT PALMER to build our homes in which we live. You may not realize it, but the same white people that we are supporting in business and industries are surprised at our lethargic inactivity and are amazed at the wealth which we control, the inability inherent in our people and the business inertia which dominates the race. Can you find a hundred thousand people in any city in the world without their own department stores, from six to ten banks, two daily newspapers, shoe stores, furniture stores, factories, ice and ice cream plants, laundries and all of the necessary things that would enter into the comfort and pleasure of a city of 100,000 people? Here we are in Washington more than 100,000 strong with less than a dozen creditable establishments among this large group of people. When will we arouse ourselves to the opportunity that awaits us and make strenuous efforts to bring about our Second Emancipation? If our $25,000,000 deposited in the white banks, were deposited in colored banks, it would be available for loans on bonds and mortgages and for establishing business enterprises of the race, and go a long way toward bringing about our Second Emancipation.
