The Washington Tribune CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS JOIN IN PLEA TO HAVE BATHING BEACH LOCATED ON WEST SIDE OF THE TIDAL.BASIN All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. II, No. 3. CIVIC ASSOCIATE TO HAVE ON WE Site On Analostan Island Is Entirely Unacceptable to People SHERRILL MAY FAVOR PLAN Anxious to Know Public Sentiment He Tells Reporter There is no definite location selected for a bathing beach for the colored citizens of Washington, so Col. C. O. Sherrill informed a representative of The Tribune, Thursday. He said the Columbia Island location was suggested for a park and beach, but he would like to have expressions from the colored civic associations regarding this. He was informed that a committee of colored men representing the allied Civic Associations of the District, desired the beach located at the west end of the Tidal Basin. Col. Sherrill was asked if there would be any objection from his office to this location and he said that he did not think there would be. The Associated Civic Associations are meeting Friday night at the District Building and will pass a resolution asking for the location of the beach at the West End of the Tidal Basin and the Civic Center of Affiliated Associations will meet Saturday night and will possibly pass a similar resolution. Practically all of the organizations of the city will be represented thru these meetings and the expression from them will be the expression for the colored citizens of the District. A committee representing both of the above mentioned associations accompanied by a Tribune representative, inspected the West end of Tidal Basin Wednesday afternoon. They find it to be about the best location for a beach in the whole district. The Committee composed of W. D. Nixon and H. E. Barnett, of the Civic Centre of Affiliated Associations and W. D. Bowles, of the Associated Civic Associations and of the Georgetown Civic Association, are a unit on the impracticability and inaccessibility of the Columba Island proposition. The matter will be discussed at the meeting of these associations Friday and Saturday nights and Col. Sherrill will be informed of the sentiment of the colored citizens of the District as expressed at these meetings. ART EXHIBIT AT DUNBAR The exhibition of the Tanner Art League at D. bar High School is a distinct success. The exhibits comprise sculpture, etchings, paintings, water colors, designs for stained glass, booklet and magazine cover illustrations, and decorated china. Unfortunately there is unsufficient room and poor lighting—that is, lighting ill-adapted to such a purpose. Yet the committee has done as well as their limited means and facilities would allow, and are to be congratulated upon the extent and representative character of the exhibit. There are about one hundred paintings and perhaps another hundred other works in sculpture, etching, etc. The piece de resistance is a painting by Wm. E. Scott of Chicago, perhaps the leading painter of our race now in the United States, if not in the world. It represents a Negro boy of about twelve years carrying a fishing pole on his shoulder. It is fine work which would be notable in any exhibition, anywhere. It came too late to be catalogued or to be considered by the judges for a prize. The first prize went to Laura Wheeler of Cheyney, Pa., for the Portrait of a Girl. The second prize went to Samuel O. Collins, a local artist, for a painting—Beech Woods in Sum- Bishop Clair Expected Here Next Week Bishop Mathew W. Clair, former pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, Eleventh and K Streets, N.W., and for the past two years head of the M. E. Church in Africa, is now on his way to America and is expected to be in Washington next week. According to a letter recently received by Rev. King, present pastor of Asbury, Bishop Clair will visit here immediately after arriving and will preach at Asbury Church, Sunday morning, June 3rd. Bishop Clair is well known in Washington as he was for over 15 years pastor of Asbury M. E. Church. He, along with Bishop Jones, were the first full-fledged colored Bishops to be ordained in the M. E. church. Bishop Clair was sent immediately to Africa where he has remained ever since. A large crowd is expected to greet Bishop Clair while he is in Washington. It is also expected that he will tell of his work while in Africa. Published Weekly ATIONS JOIN IN THE BATHING BEACH WEST SIDE OF THE Bishop Clair Expects Bishop Mathew W.

Jones will be the guest of the local camp of The American Woodmen. Mai. Gen. John L. Jones mer. A picture by Allan R. Freelon of Philadelphia—Storm Clouds—received honorable mention. The judges were members of the Washington Landscape Club (white). The prizes were donated by the Southern Aid Society of Virginia which generosity is to be repeated annually. Among the notable features of the exhibition are ten etchings by Albert A. Smith, a young man of New York, who is now abroad studying; also several designs for stained glass windows by Frank J. Dillon of Mt. Holly, N. J., who is the chief designer for the Oesterle Stained Glass works of Philadelphia. Some washed drawings by F. C. Alston of Tuskegee are distinctive. Our local artists, Dr. Jno. E. Washington, Samuel D. Milton, and William D. Nixon, are well represented. The latter's painting, The Stream, while of the academic school is an arresting work. Mrs. May Howard Jackson, the sculptress of our city, exhibits several works, including, Brotherhood, a work which would justify a public subscription to purchase and have cast into permanent bronze. We shall publish and exhaustive analysis and interpretation of the works of this exhibit from the pen of Mr. Jean Toomer, next week. WASHINGTON, D. C.

LITTLE HOPE HELD FOR DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN SENATE Senator Borah Fears Bill Will Not Be Called Up The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill failed in the Senate Committee on Judiciary Wednesday, when the sub-committee, of which Senator Borah of Idaho, is chairman, made an unfavorable report on it. The basis for the unfavorable report is the belief of the Senators that oppose it, that it is unconstitutional. At a meeting of the Committee Thursday, it was agreed for the joint sub-committee of the House and Senate to confer on the points considered as unconstitutional and for the sub-committee to report to the full Committee two weeks hence. Senator Borah when asked if he thot the bill would have a chance of passing the Senate during this session said that he feared it would not have the opportunity of coming up again. In an editorial some weeks ago, The Tribune stated that the Dyer Bill was only a political move on the part of the House to return some of its present members next fall. The Dyer Bill has been slaughtered in the hands of its supposed friends, the Republicans. SUBURBAN GARDENS TO OPEN TUESDAY The Suburban Gardens, located at 50th and Hayes Sts., N. E., will be thrown open to the public Tuesday, May 30th. This will mark the second year of this play ground, and according to announcements, many new features have been added.

The management has secured ample street car service both to and from the park. The management aims to make the Suburban Gardens the pleasure spot of Washington. With this aim in view, they have started a program of improvements that will, when finished, make the park one of the most complete in America. This is the only amusement park in Washington that colored may attend. The park will be open this season every night in the week, including Sundays. A. M. E. Z. CONFERENCE CLOSES Philadelphia, May:—The 95th session of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, closed here Sunday night, having been in session since Tuesday. Bishop J. S. Caldwell presided. "This conference of only 75 churches has raised over $200,000 during the past year," said Bishop Caldwell. They took up $18,000 in general collections during the conference. All of the Washington pastors were returned to their charges save Rev. Logan Johnson, pastor at Burrville, who was transferred to Rockville, Md. The choir of John Wesley of Washington, furnished the music for the meeting Sunday afternoon in the Dunbar Theatre.

Many demands were made on the committee in charge for a representative, and the selection of Dr. Moton is believed to have been the result of these pleas. The Lincoln Memorial is considered to be one of the most beautiful memorials in the world.

Highland Beach, the popular summer colony on the Chesapeake, enjoys the distinction of being the first community of Colored citizens to be given a charter by the state of Maryland, making it an incorporated town with a commission form of government. In 1891 this resort was discovered by Mrs. C. R. Douglass and a party of friends who had been refused the use of the Beach at Bay Ridge. Major C. R. Douglass purchased the property during the following year, subdividing it into building lots. Upon one of the sites he built a summer home. Dr. John R. Francis, Hon. Frederick Douglass, Mr. James Wormley, Mr. G. T. Bowen, and Miss Gertrude Smith were among the first to build summer residences at Highland Beach. Many notables guests, including John M. Langston, B. K. Bruce, George White, Governor Pinchback, Booker T. Washington, and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, spent enjoyable vacations at this delightful place. Lying between two wooded lakes and sloping to a wide sandy beach at the prettiest part of the Chesapeake Bay, Highland Beach has attracted a host of devotees. Mrs. Eula Ross Gray, Dr. Milton A. Francis, Messrs. Osborn Taylor, Edwin B. Henderson and Haley G. Douglass, the first set of commissioners, were sworn in at Annapolis Saturday, May 13th, 1922. The old Chesapeake Bay resort, Bay Ridge, has recently been acquired by a corporation which has developed it for residential purposes. Lots have been sold and homes of the most pretentious kinds will be erected this summer. Highland Beach adjoins this booming enterprise and will in large measure profit thereby. DEANWOOD CITIZENS AROUSED Rumor has it that the feeling between the citizens of Deanwood and Capitol Heights is not what it should be. According to information received, about three weeks ago some trouble occurred on a District Line car in which both Deanwood citizens and Capitol Heights citizens took part. Since then the feeling has been increasing as the Capitol Heights citizens have, it is alleged, made threats to get certain Deanwood citizens. However, no serious trouble is feared. Courtesy S.

McCorkle) From all evidences, the influence of Tuskegee Institute and its great founders is being more universally felt today than ever before. Regardless what our opinion is regarding or what our attitude may be towards industrial education, the little stone which was cut out of the mountain and dropped down in a small town in Alabama, known as Tuskegee, continues to gain momentum. Tuskegee Institute, as most large schools, encourages its graduates to form alumni clubs wherever they can get together in comparatively large numbers. In most of the large cities Tuskegee Clubs are organized and are doing effective work. In this line, Washington is not one whit behind. The local branch of the Tuskegee Alumni Club, which is composed of more than 100 graduates from that well known institution, met in a get-to-gether meeting last Thursday evening, May 11th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Brown, 2236 13th St., N.W., who spared no pains in making it pleasant for those who were present. Representatives from other alumni bodies who were special guests, pledged their hearty support and cooperation towards the welfare of this organization. Representatives from other alumni bodies included: Mr. Thomas Dent, president, of Atlanta University, Alumni; Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Howard and Atlanta Universities; Miss Minnie Childs, president, Talladega College Alumni; Prof. C. E. Burch, Wilberforce and Columbia Universities, and your humble servant, the writer, representing Biddle University. You should imagine that your scribe tried to put on a good front in appearing for his Alma Mater. After singing a jubilee song led by that master musician, Mr. E. N. Broadnax, the writer was called to make a few remarks. These remarks were given in the form of a poem (original) entitled "I Has My Larnin' Now." Short addresses were made by Miss Childs, Messrs. Dent, Hershaw and Burch, after which the officers for the ensuing year were installed by Attorney J. Louis Taylor. The new officers are as follows: Mr. E. D. Brown, president; Mrs. C. E. Burch, vice president; Miss Ruby Fortunes, cor. secretary; Mrs. Lula K. Brown, assistant cor. secretary; Mr. H. Timmons, treasurer; Mr. E. N. Broadnax, chaplain. What next? It happened that the writer was seated near the dining room where refreshments had been provided in abundance. When this was realized you may assure yourself that all other functions got his divided attention. Well, it is useless for me to even attempt to tell what we had, I shall not encourage that longing desire in my readers. But you should have been there. Hearing the sweet strains of music, dancing became the pastime of the evening. Whist concluded the evening's program which was enthusiastically enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present. The coming together of such men and women will have a tendency to bring about a closer relationship between the different alumni bodies of our many schools. Let us hope that this is only a step towards greater things along this line of endeavor.

ACTORS OF THE PAST In my last article I gave a short sketch of Sam Lucas, so now I am bringing you another old favorite, Ernest Hogan, better known as the "Unbleached" American. Hogan not only ranked high as a comedian but was a song writer of ability. I first knew of him as the leading comedian with "Black Patti's Troubordors" probably around 1900. He remained with this company several seasons, during this time he wrote his biggest song success, "All Coons Look Alike to Me." Though this song was a big hit, Hogan always claimed afterwards that he was sorry he wrote it. After leaving "Black Patti's" show he went into vaudeville, playing Keith's Circuit, having fine success. The seasons of 1904 and 1905 found him starring in the "Smart Set" when this show was on its top wave of popularity. J. F. HO REAL ESTATE, L Money to Loan. Houses J. F.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 THEATRES AMUSEMENTS SPORTS HOWARD THEATER Week Commencing Sunday Night May 28 Intoxicating Jazz Cocktail WITH 24 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS 24 Direct to Broadway, N.W, from Washington Matinees: Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday DOORS OPEN 7:30 CURTAIN RISES 8:15 RODOLPH VALENTINO in "MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY" A picture of unusual dramatic strength, is George Melford's production "Moran of the Lady Letty." Paramount's latest offering featuring Rodelph Valentino and Dorothy Dalton, at the Dunbar Theatre, next week. This is a dramatic story of the sea, with scenes along the coast of Norway, in Magdalena Bay, Mexico, and along the waterfront of San Francisco. The principal action takes place aboard two sailing vessels, one a trader and the other a smuggling ship, commanded by Captain Kitchell, a murderous tyrannical seaman. Ramon Laredo, played by Aodolph Valentino, is a society man, who has been shanghaied, and forced to join Kitchell's crew. On the other vessel, which becomes a derelict, is Moran, a girl of the sturdy, rough, seafaring type. Kitchell finds the derelict, Moran is carried aboard by Ramon, and from then on ensues a series of highly dramatic complications which makes the average spectator grip his seat and lose himself in the realism of the picture. Dorothy Dalton is excellent in the role of Moran, while Mr. Valentine gives a powerful portrayal of Ramon. The support generally. is of the best. Rodolph Valentino, Leading Man Rodolph Valentino, who was co-featured with Agnes Ayres in "The Sheik" and who achieved a brilliant success in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and "Camille," is leading man in this production. He appears as the scion of a noble Spanish family, a petted society favorite, in "Moran of the Lady Letty" Shanghaied aboard a vessel he proves that beneath his lavender kid exterior he is a real man and in the end he conquers her the intrepid Moran and wins her heart. This is a role in which all the robust qualities possessed by Mr. Valentino are brought to the front with splendid effect. His LAFAYETTES TO PLAY BLADENSBURG On Sunday, May 28th, the Lafayette (seniors) will play the Bladensburg team at 3:30 o'clock on the North Alfred Street diamond in Alexandria. SPORTS JUNIOR LAFAYETTES MAKE GOOD SHOWING The Lafayette, juniors, of Alexandria, have one of the best organizations of teams in their class in this section of the country. In fact, their team work and spirit is hardly surpassed by many senior teams. In a game against the Riverside Giants (a senior team) which they defeated 19 to 2, they showed "big league" form. Georgie Wallace, their twirler, struck out 14 men and allowed only 2 hits. John Finley, the catcher, received many cheers from the crowd for his accurate throwing and agility. Edgard McGee and Stokes, the 2nd and 3rd basemen, respectively, played together like two well-oiled machines. The future for this team is apparently very alluring. NO WILLS-DEMPSEY FIGHT IN MONTREAL JULY 1 Negotiations for a match between Harry Wills and Dempsey for Montreal, Canada, July 1, has been called off after a conference between Kearns and Tex Rickard at Madison Square Garden last Saturday. Kearns said the time was entirely too short as Dempsey was going to his home in California and would not return east for several weeks. Lincoln Giants Win The Lincoln Giants defeated the O Street All Stars Friday, May 19, on their home diamond, 12 to 6. Smith held the O Streeters hitless for 5 innings, and Cole who started the final inning was nicked for 3 hits and 4 runs. Coupled with 2 errors it was a six inning game, on account of darkness. Athletics defeats O. Tigers The Washington Athletics defeated the Oriental Tigers Sunday May 21st on the Tiger's grounds in S. W., by the score of 11 to 6. The pitching of Punch was a feature of the game. He allowed but one hit in 5 innings. He was relieved by Monroe on whom the Tigers scored their six runs. Oriental Tigers Defeat Royals The Oriental Tigers A. C., defeated the Royal A. C. by a score of 8 to 1 last Sunday. The game was well played. Oriental Tigers to Have Big Game The Oriental Tigers A.

Fast games are expected. The Oriental team is determined to be rated as the premier team of the District this year and is out after a record that will justify their claim. Athletics defeats Frogs On last Monday, May, 22nd, The Washington Athletics journeyed to Fredericksburg, Va., and played the Fredericksburg Frogs. The Athletics won by the score of 1 to 4, but the game was a much harder affair than the score would indicate. The feature of the game was the pitching of Keyser, who was a complete puzzle to the Frogs for the five innings he pitched. Ed. Barner carried off the batting honors getting 4 hits out of 5 times up. The Washington Athletics defeated the Bladenburg team on May 14 by the score of 2 to 1. LEDROT TIGERS DOWN ST. CYPRIANS IN CLOSE GAME By far the best game witnessed in the Independent ranks this season was staged Sunday at Union League park when the LeDroit Tigers defeated the St. Cyprians 2 to 1 in a southpaw pitcher's battle between Smith of the winners who allowed but 2 hits and fanned 11 and Barnes of the Saints who allowed 5 hits and caused 9 to whiff. The Tigers hopped off in the lead in the first inning on Foster's hit, Steal and Kenner's single. The Catholics tied the score in the sixth on wild throwing by Harris and Smith. The game was won in the eighth Buffaloes Defeat Brightwood Last Sunday the Buffalo A. C. defeated the Brightwood A. C. by the score of 12 to 9. The feature of the game was the playing of H.

Present day movements, sign and gossip indicate a packed park on the 30th of May. With clear weather there is no reason why the Suburban Gardens should not be crowded to capacity. Of course Jupe Pluvius is liable "to put a stick of dynamite in a fire" any time, but we hope for the best all the time. "THE FLAT BELOW" By W. O. W. "The Flat Below" a comedy drama in 4 acts, the latest production of Miller and Lyles, and Sissle and Blake, the authors of "Shuffle Along," made its initial bow to a Washington audience Monday night. The cast is headed by Clarence Muse, who is a veteran of the stage and is well known in Washington. The show is one of the few attempts, on the stage, to portray real Negro life. The authors have attempted to get away from many of the common pitfalls that the usual attempt at Colored shows invariably fall into. The lines of the show are entirely clean and the moral of the play is very good. However, like most attempts of this kind, the authors have not shown a The Su Big Matinee presenti “THE 50 ST The Suburban Gardens COLUMBIA JOURNEY COLUMBIA HEAR Miss Irby Trimble Queen of Blues Singers Ample Street Car Service Music Galore: chestra vs. Su Admission 45 Music Galore: Snowden's New Augmented Orchestra vs. Suburban Garden's 7 Picked Artists Admission 45c,5c tax Take H St. Cars Marked District Line or Suburban Gardens presenting for first time in Washington "THE ALLEGRA CLUB" with 50 STAR MUSICIANS Carnegie Stew full realization themselves, of the finer points of Negro life. This may be excusable on the ground, that, as a rule, very few of our writers take the time to make a real study of the subject. Because they are colored themselves, they evidently believe they fully understand these points; they believe that the audience does too, but this should not be taken for granted as this play demonstrates. "The Flat Below," while it is a god show, does not go over with the punch that it should. The audience is never held spellbound as the plot unfolds itself which makes the play too tame and thereby reduces its power to build up a big box office record. The play strives to show up one of the greatest evils the race has to deal with today, and as this is the first attempt of these aspiring writers at drama, it is natural to expect that many of the faults of this show will soon be eliminated. The greatest fault we found was that entirely too much of the plot was revealed in the first act. This fault accounts for much of the drollness that seems to go with the show.

CORBITT, President S. B. GREEN, Secretary 6-13-20-27 Gardens mel «, + OW — y a # ay! Ens The letter of Prof. Robert T. Ker- lin to The Washington Tribune pub- lished in last week’s issue ought tc gratify and hearten the editors and staff of that paper and of all other papers attempting to attain and main. tain a really high standard in journal. ism. This applies especially to paper: published by and for our race. All persons connected with The Tri bune have a right to be pleased anc proud at this woth while testimonia —worth while not because Prof. Ker lin is a white man, but because he is or at least ought to be, a person fully capable of judging and wholly un- biased to boot. Prof. Kerlin was head of the Eng- lish Department at the Virginia Mili. tary Inst., (the “West Point” of the South) until about two years ago when, because of an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas in behalf of several Negroes condemned to death for resisting mobbing, he was deprivec of his position. For many years he has made a spec- ial study of Negro literature and peri- odicals and is now a regular reader of at ‘gees race publications. ice again what he says of The ‘Tribune: “Jt well deserves the highest praise —appearance, quality, variety of mat ter, spirit, everything, is journalism at its best... . your Children’s Page There you are absolutely unrivaled.” Now, paradoxical as it may seem ‘The Cynic on reading this felt a warm glow of grateful joy spread itself tc his very finger tips. Not wholly, he hopes, because of his own connectior with The Tribune, but because it is an augury of what the race can do— and is beginning to do. Note what the Professor said—no' Colored or Negro journalism, but— “journalism,” unrestricted and unqual- ified, “at its best.” Would that so com- petent and sympatletic a critic could and would say something similar of a dozen or of all Negro periodicals No one would rejoice more than Th Cynic, who would be a cynic no longer But it is a regrettable fact tha Clarence M.

Phone N. 9848 Open from 9 to 5 p.m. - ie perhaps not a half dozen race periodi- cals are sincerely and diligently and determinedly striving for the ideals set forth by Professor Kerlin—appear- ance, quality, variety, spirit. And our best supported, best endowed, best manned~(so far as qualified staff is concerned) periodicals are nearly as trivial, and fully as opportune and personally “little” as those of “lesser breed.”. However, let us be thankful, as is The Cynic, that there are some—some besides The Tribune—that are trying to make the most of their meager means and restricted opportunities. Some persons who may read these notes may ask—Why did not.this cyn- ie give names and specifications? Well, just now The Cynic is too full.of mixed emotions to éssay so delicate a task— but he will ere long jot down his views on the matter for whatever they are worth. In the meantime let us keep in mind the basic points of merit— appearance, quality, variety, spirit— these four, but the greatest of these is spirit. THE CYNIC Y. W. C. A. Notes | Reverend Walter H.

Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society made its appearance for the first time in several years in the pre- sentation of “The Atonement” at the First Congregational Church, This regarded by many as the finest of S. Coleridge ‘Taylor's compositions, was first given in Washington in 1906 on the oceasion of the second visit of Mr, Taylor to the United States. ‘This Choral Society was organized in 1901 through the inspiration of Mrs, A. F, Hilyer a member of the Treble Clef and a personal friend of Mr. Taylor. ‘The Choral Society grew ‘under the direction of Prof. John Layton then assistant director of mu sie of the city schools, and under hi ‘magnetic influence became nationally known for its excellent work. Mr Taylor visited America twice to con- ‘duct this society in the presentatior ‘of his compositions. One of the most interesting -fea- tures of this presentation of “Th Atonement” was the presence of Mr ‘Melville Charlton, A. A. G. 0., one of the leading organists of New York City, organist of Union ‘Theological Seminary and of St. Thomas Chureh, Brooklyn. At the first piano was Miss Mary L. Europe who was ac- companist for the Society at the time of Mr, Taylor's visits, from whom she received the highest commendation for her splendid playing, At the second piano was Mx. Van Whitted of How- ard University Conservatory of Music. Rarely has one felt the power and beauty of the organ as produced by Mr. Charlton’s playing. He is a mas- ter technician and plays with rare musical intelligence. His deep ap- preciation of the music made him use the powers of the organ fully. His work with the pedal was especially clean. The playing of Miss Europe was artistically finished and at all times truly satisfying.

All of the compositions which wil be rendered on this occasion have been awarded prizes in the contest con- ducted by the Dunbar Song Leaders of this city. Remember the Dunbar Song Lead- ers last year helped to make Wash- ington’s First Music Week a huge success. This year we have our’own program occupying one night of Music Week. This will be exclusively under colored supervision and ar- rangement; and possibly the first time in the history of the race we shall have (strictly # Trize Composition Festival of original works by Colored composers—something indeed to war- rant our highest appreciation and in- terest.

Burrell, contralto; Mr. G. Stanley Brooks, tenor; and Rev. Chas. H. Wesley, baritone, all local singers, entered into their parts with true spirit and gave most sym- pathetic interpretation. Rev.’ Wes- ley’s difficult role was sung with feel- ing and Mr. Brooks’ clear diction and beautiful voice made his work most acceptable. Mrs. Tibbs sang the solo “The Plea of Pilate” with telling ef- fect and finish. Prof. Tibbs, the conductor, deserves high commendation for the uniform excellence of the performance.. This rendition was for the benefit of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Girl Reserves camp fund. Dunbar Notes ‘The May Festival presented at Dun- bar on Thursday and Saturday May 11 and 13, before capacity houses was splendidly received. The story of the carnival is simply that of the varied entertainment given in honor of the Queen of May, by her loyal followers. The ‘procession of the participants in the performance was preceded by sev- eval members including two original poems on Spring, a very beautiful “Dance to Spring” by Alma Parks and Beatrice Boyd, accompanied by a May Pole winding. ‘These numbers pre- pared the audience for the coming of ‘the Queen of May, Miss Dorothy Car- te ‘After this a chorus to spring was sung which truly oponed the fetsival. ‘There were serious parts in the pro- gram which deserve credit, for there was given a most effective sabre drill by the officers of the regiment, a drill by the officers of the Girl’s Battalion; a dumb-bell drill by the boys, and Indian Clubs by the girls. These drills ‘were well executed, showing marked ability on the part of the students and were well received not only by the Queen and her court but also by the audience. For the lighter side of the program, there were many dances of various kinds, which were gracefully executed. There were solo dances, dances for two, and large group dances. There were also songs and interpretations of modern song hits, all in the spirit of Spring, with song and dance. Success of the program was increased by the splendid sup- port given by the school orchestra. The festival was under the direction of Mr. James H. Cowan.

Monday, May 29 arid Thursday, June 1 are the dates set for the play of the Department of Business Practice. The play marks the initial endeavor in this kind of extra-curriculum activity for the Department of Business Practice A preliminary list of prospective graduates shows the names of thirty- five candidates of the four-year course of the Department of Business Prac- tice—the largest by far of any pre- ceding four-year class of the depart- ment. Of this number, twenty-four are girls; twelve boys. The increas- ing size of the senior class means that the business students are remaining four years for instruction, instead of taking advantage of the two-year cer- tificate course. Rane cee a: mE a _ H.U. Notes Robinson Resigns from Track Squad Leo G. Robinson, after two years of creditable work on Howard’s Varsity Track Squad, resigns at the close of this season, 1921-22. The student body regrets very much the loss of Robinson, in that it counts a heavy loss to the track team for the next term. On interviewing Mr. Robinson, he stated that due to his work in the medical school next year, in the clinies and class room, he would be unable to do justice to both and succeed. Mr. Robinson’s work and record at ‘Howard as a varsity track man has ‘been excellent. He has been anchor ‘man on the relay team for two years. In the inter-class meets he won three first places, and ran on winning re- lay. At the Penn. relays 1921 and 1922, he ran well, and «in 22, he ‘brought Howard from a hopeless last to a fifth place; and if he had a fighting chance, there is no telling what the outcome would have been. Mr, Robinson came to Howard from Ohio State University where he left a record as trackman, debater, and scholar. He was captain of the inter- collegiate debating team and varsity track squad there, holding three ree ords in the latter. He represented Ohio University in the “Big Six Inter. Collegiate Track Meet.” His record for the 100 yd dash was 10 flat; for the 220, 22 flat; for the 440, 49 flat. He was presitlent of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity there; a member of the Tau Kappa Alpha, a national hon- orary debating fraternity, and class orator. er re ee ee * «Mfinerva” the year book, under the supervision of the Senior Class went to the printers Saturday evening last’ with a one hundred per cent subscrip- tion.

Kappa Sigma Elects Thursday evening May 18th in Li- brary Hall, the Kappa Sigma De- bating Society elected its officers for the term 1922-23. They are as fol- lows: Mr. Jos. E, Moore, president; F. D. Robb, vice-president; 0. _Car- rington, recording secretary; M. G. Edmonds, corresponding secretary; Mr. A. Bains, treasurer; Mr. A. L. Davonport, chaplain; and Mr. E, ‘Thomas, keeper of peace.

Student Council Elects President Immediately after the chapel ser vices on Wednesday, the student bods elected its president for the Student Council, term 1922-23. The candidate: for the office were: Messrs. Yanc3 Simms, Joseph E, Nicholson, and D Ward Nichols. Mr. D. Ward Nichols was elected. N. A. A. C. P. Drive a Success on “Bay” | ‘The N. A. A. C.

Dean Miller to Speak Dean Kelly Miller of the Junior College has been invited to speak at Woodlawn Virginia, May 30 at 3:80 p.m. The dean will present, at the Woodlawn Methodist Episcopal Church the subject: “Racial Loyalty.” Tau Delta Sigma Notes J. Thomas Newsom, prominent at- torney of Virginia and eloquent speaker, will address the fraternity or the evening of June 8 at the Chapter house. Prof. W. H. Richards, lecturer on International law at the Howard Uni- versity School of Law, has been in- vited to addres sthe fraters on the Sunday afternoon preceding the bac- calaureate sermon. He has addressed the body on the same date the last two years.

NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Justin, Elie:—Justin was born at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, September 1, 1883. At the age of five he showed a passion for music. He was taken to France to the celebrated institution at Saint Croix. He was prepared for the Conservatory of Paris by the great pianist, Marmontel, and he passed a brilliant entrance examination in 1903. He studied under De Beriot, Phillips, De Wormser, and De Pessard, graduating in 1905. He has written several compositions, notable among them is "Aphrodite." LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: I found three errors on the Page last week. One was the answer to Mix Up for week before last. And in the story about the two Senators you say Revels was born in 1822 and was Senator from 1785 to 1881 which made him be a Senator before he was born. Don't get mad at me because I'm writing this, but I saw the mistakes and want to know about them. Or am I right? I'm not going to sign my name. Your friend. B. (Dear B.: A friend like you, is a friend indeed. The errors in the puzzles I noted Saturday morning after all the papers were printed. I am presenting the Workmee puzzle over in its correct form. The Mix Up puzzle's fourth line should have read: "Or gazing empty at despair?" The first error was made by me. I gave the printer the puzzle as it is, and he, of course, printed it that way. A printer can take no liberties with a puzzle—hence this mistake. Now try to solve it. A wrong line of type was placed in "Mix Up" and in the rush of an unavoidable delay in getting the paper to the press, the mistake was not corrected. Such mistakes will happen and do happen often in newspapers. I did not notice the error in the article about the Senators until a friend drew my attention to it. I see you noticed the mistakes but you have cited them wrongly. The article read that Bruce was born in 1841 and served as Senator from 1785 to 1881. It is true that B. K. Bruce was born March 1, 1841 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Bruce served from 1875 to 1881. Evidently the type setter got his 7 and 8 mixed and of 1875 he made 1785. Mad at you. No, my little friend. What you have done goes to show you are interested, that you know mistakes can be made, and that you are an observer and one who always puts two and two together. I hope I'll have the pleasure of hearing from you again, and that you will give your name, age, and address. I am your very grateful friend, —Ed.) Dear Mr. Frazier: I have been intending to write to you a long while ago. I read the Page each week. I did not read it at first but I am wishing I had. I like the puzzles, history, encyclopedia, and articles about Negroes. Of course I like the stories and the other things but the part telling about the race I like best. I can get the other things from other sources. I am glad you started the "Book Review" for I am going to try to buy these books. I will send in answers soon. What is the T. P. C. C.? MAZIE ADDISON (Age 16) (Dear Mazie, I am glad to hear from you and to learn of your interest. I am hoping you will take an active part in our activities. Elsewhere on this page you will find information concerning The Tribune Post Card Club. Write as often and as soon as you care to.—Ed.) Dear Mr. Editor:, I'm a little boy living in Richmond, Va., and I get your paper every other week, two at a time. I do not send in answers but I try to work them out.

BOOK REVIEW and COMMENT Negro Year Book: Only books with historical value have found places in the review so far. This being true, we must not overlook the "Negro Year Book" an annual encyclopedia of the Negro, compiled by Mr. Monroe N. Work who is in charge of Records and Research at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. Mr. Work is in a position to secure data and items pertaining to the race which are of the utmost value one who attempts to gather facts from different sources. Our history is in the folk lore stage to a great extent and much time has to be spent in gathering facts relative to our past. This writer has at his command many books written by scholars, both white and colored, who know what is what and who is who in the realm of Negro notables, traditions, and the Negro's aspirations. The "Negro Year Book" can be divided into three divisions; statistics, comments and autobiographies. Each division, though not divided as such by the Editor, is extensive. Special attention cannot be drawn to any one phase of this book. It should be in every American home. Note that I say "every" American home, not every Negro home. A better knowledge of our race by others as well as better knowledge of ourselves by ourselves, would go a long way to demand that respect which is due us. This volume is a means to that end. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Work for this notable accomplishment, for we must recognize that he is the first to present such an important work to the world. Having facilities at hand as he has we hope he will dedicate his life to research work and in the near future present us a book, or a series of books, dealing with the accomplishments of all the Negroes of the world, regardless of nationality. The "Negro Year Book" is published by the Negro Year Book Co., Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Price postpaid, paper cover, 75 cents; board cover, $1.25. NEGRO CITIES Rentiesville. Okla. Rentiesville, Oklahoma is the third colored town of the State in population. Boley first, Taft second and Rentiesville third. It is seventeen miles south of Muskogee on the M. K. and T. Railroad, which is known as "The Katy" throut that section. This is the main line of the road which runs from St. Louis to San Antonio, Texas, 1,034 miles long. Rentiesville was promoted by the Reeves Realty Company of Muskogee, and like most of the colored towns of the State, was settled by people from Arkansas and Texas. The town was named for a colored man who owns a large tract of land near there, his name was William Rentie and was known as a "freedman." Possibly you do not know that the Indians owned colored slaves, as did the white people before the Civil War. Well they did. However, the Indians were better to their slaves than were the white owners. When Uncle Sam moved the Indians from the various States to the Indian Territory, he promised them so many acres of land for each member of the family. The Indians that well of their slaves and arranged the treaty with Uncle Sam so that each of the former slaves—or "freedmen," as they are called in Oklahoma, would share in the allotting of the land. The Creek Indians were more liberal than the other tribes and permitted the "freedmen" to "share acre for acre with them." Therefore every "freedman" and his children, up until July 1907, received 160 acres of land from the Government. That is why so many colored people in Oklahoma own land, even oil land. You will find most all of the colored towns in the former Creek Nation. We might say that the Seminoles gave their freedmen 120 acres, the Choctaws allotted 80 acres to their freedmen while they took 320, Chickasaws received 320 and gave their freedmen only 40 acres; while the Cherokees, the aristocrats of the Territory, allowed their freedmen $1,000 worth of land, and the number of acres depended upon the appraised value of the land, which averaged from 50 to 80 acres. Senator Robert L. Owens is of the Cherokee Tribe, as was the register of the treasury, Teheehe in the Wilson Administration. Rentiesville has a population of about 850, which makes it about the same size as Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the Negro Metropolis of the South. Rentiesville is four miles north of Checotah a mixed town where all of the cotton from the Rentiesville section is ginned. The post master and justice of peace are Colored. SELECTED VERSES Today we publish two poems submitted by two Tribunites. The first is submitted by Thelmond Christian and part of a letter concerning this selection is as follows: "I did not compose this poem. I learned it at school and I am sending it because I felt as though it is a lesson for all of us to learn." Thelmond goes to Garnet School, Grade 8B. Miss A. S. Payne is her teacher. The poem follows: Life is What You Make It You find the world a joyous place Because you make it so. Because you make it so. You've helped to set a merry pace For all our feet to go. The song and laughter that you hee The song and laughter that you hear Are echoes of your own; Tis thus through many a coming year You'll reap the joy you've sown. Hinton Dulaney, age 11, needed no letter of explanation as to why he submitted the following: Castor Oil (By Harold V. Streeter) Sometimes my dinner tastes so good I eat a bit more than I should, And then I have to spoil The flavor of the pies and cakes And other things my mother makes, By taking castor oil! Show me the man who made that stuff I sure would treat the scoundrel rough— I'd roll him in the soil; And while I had him off his toes, I'd have my mother hold his nose And feed him castor oil! When once I see the tablespoon, I know the worst is coming soon So off I run to hide. But though I'm underneath the bed, Out I am jerked; up goes my head— It never is denied. John Barleycorn was hard to stun And put to death, but it was done By men who took to toil: (Note: We'll be glad to publish short poems or verses selected by our readers. The best of such poems will be published the last Saturday in each month.-Ed.) OROONOKO: THE ROYAL SLAVE There was a very warlike tribe of natives in that portion of Africa called Coromantien. Therefore they had many captives ready to be sold as slaves to the English plantation owners in the South American colony called Surinam. The king of Coromantien was a hundred years old. All of his sons had fallen in battle, and only one grandson was left him as heir to his throne. Oroonoko, as the young prince was called was very intelligent and his grandfather, the king, hired a French teacher to instruct the lad. He loved best to study about the ancient Romans.

Poets' Corner Poets' Corner The following poem is from the pen of Mrs. Mae Smith Johnson. We do not wonder at the letters coming to us asking for more of Mrs. Johnson's works. We love to read her poems of sweetest sorrows. IN FLANDERS FIELDS America, in Flanders' fields Our dead, too, lie—above their graves The same birds sing, the same flow'rs grow, And sunsets wondrous to behold Give way to night, and night to day, Yet they sleep not and know no rest Their corpses stir, their spirits wail In Flanders' fields. For disfranchisement, prejudice, And all the rotten deeds of hell Are practised on their brothers here Who fought and bled, lived and returned. The torch they held so high in France At home ignites their funeral pyres, And tho the soft winds sing their dirge, Our martyrs neither sleep nor rest In Flanders' fields. Oh, wake, America, the Free Your banners, we have saved, And made the world "a safer place" The souls of Washington and Lincoln rise, 192. And mourning join our sleepless dead on Flagdoll folde. This month we have another poem by George W. McCorkle. It is full of pathos, typical of his swinging rhythm and carries the plaint of our people. As we are Americans its theme hurts us—but it is truth and truth must prevail. WHAT SHALL I DO? What shall I do? They told me that when freedom came I then would be a man; I sought to win my way to fame By leading in the van But still the demons from below Were raging on my track; I strove to go, My step was slow, Their fangs were at my back. What shall I do? They told me knowledge to acquire And wisdom's ways pursue, I had one aim—one fond desire— Great Wisdom's face to view; I found the intellectual spring And drank to satisfy, I tried to sing— The lyncher's sting, Was forcing me to die. What shall I do? They said that wealth would make for me A place upon the soil, Where I would be secure and free, As I would sing and toil. I bought in acres by the score Wealth bowed to me his knee, But as I go, The fiendish foe, Holds fast, I am not free. What shall I do? T were burning hundreds at the stake I hear their feeble cry, But justice does not yet awake, They struggle, shriek and die. Their groans are rising to the sky, The flames themselves shed tears; What shall I do? Prayers from all cornerz of the earth Are rising day and night; The heart forgets its joy and mirth And makes a righteous fight; But still the wretched lynchers thrive While lives are burning out. The mobs arrive, They burn alive, I hear their heinous shout. What shall I do? I'll ask my race to join my hand And help me in the fight, We'll fortify and firmly stand While struggling for the right; Help us, O Lord!' we cannot fail; Our hearts are bowed in grief; Though strong the gale, We can not fail, We're waiting for relief. John S. Agenor takes us out of the regular line of poetry and sends us these two clever items. In journalism these are called "columns," the writer is called a "columnist." VACATION Vacation! It is not a dream? Vexations are over Teachers are in clover, Mothers and Fathers Will have lots to bother. Shucks! That's what the summer's for, Closed schools and minds ajar, Pure thoughts and dreams to come, Bright days for every one. Shucks! It will not be long, The end of summer's song, And behold—vacation's o'er. So I'll live it, Do my best with it, Smile—laugh and grow. O! Ye happy days, Don't go fast away, Oh! I love you so. Shucks! MEMORIAL DAY Solemnly we bow our heads for those who wore the BLUE to save the UNION from dissolution. May the SOULS of those who fought and won the battles of '61-'65 and those that fought and lost the battles of '61-'65 "REST IN PEACE AMEN." Shucks! And the battles must be fought again. Not with muskets and cannon balls, Not with machine guns and poison gas. Not by bombing from the air and discharging torpedoes from beneath the waters—but by the understanding of MAN'S DUTY TO MAN. Shucks! Will man ever understand "Man's Duty to Man"? And, then, someone will write the world's greatest book, distributed free, at the portals of heaven by Saint Peter. A skit taking our minds back to pre-war prices, and back further to our kid days, is here cleverly penned by Percy C. Green. THE FIVE-CENT PIE OF DAYS GONE BYE The days of yore that come no more Oft to my eyes bring water, The days when I could get a pie For one-fifth of a quarter. A five-cent piece did oft release My stomach from starvation, Then too it brought just what I sought, Relief from consternation. Most every day without delay I went to see the grocer, The pies I ate I cannot state, For duty I don't know, sir. And if I found no pies around When mother sat the table, I'd rush right out and hunt about As long as I was able. Until I got an apricot A lemon and straw-berry, Then satisfied, my—how I'd ride, To reach home in a hurry. Those were the days I used to praise The value of the nickel, But now I don't because it won't, At times buy me a pickle. This day and time the prices climb So high they bring me sadness, Despite my aim in Life's short game To summon up some gladness. It gives me pain to seek in vain For five-cent pies so juicy, Altho I eat with joy complete The pies now made by Lucy. Still with regret my heart is wet, And it will be thus ever, For bakers say to me each day Those days will come back never. By PERCY W.

American civilization is a mockery and American Christianity is breaking down thru the oft recurring lynchings and their attendant lawlessness. Nether the orgies of cannibalism, nor the horrors of "the Terrible Turk," nor the atrocities of the Huns as they marched thru Belgium are to be compared to the hellish, blood-curdling and inhuman orgies recently participated in by thousands of supposed civilized Christian Americans when they roasted living human beings in Texas and Georgia. Lynchings and Ku Kluxism have become habits, bad habits, just as humans form other habits. Race hatred and race prejudice have run rampant in our great country which has boasted of its civilization and advanced Christianity. The colored people of these United States have almost lost complete confidence in the white man's professed Christianity and are standing agast at the inhuman treatment administered to the 15,000,000 colored people here. The 13th, 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Constitution of the United States have become less than "scraps of paper." The 14th Amendment does not protect the colored people of this country "in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Mob rule and rampage is stronger than the Constitution Amendments and defies the Government itself to interfere with its blood-thirsty search for, and executions of, the very citizens the Constitution and every officer of the Government promises to protect. In the face of all the segregation, inhuman treatment and lynchings, the Southern white man has the audacity to say that he is the best friend the colored man has. If that is true the devil and hell itself are among the colored people's best friends, too. How can we believe in the Southern white man's Christianity or his friendship when his actions speak so loud that we can not hear his professions America's Finest Colored Amusement Park Built for Our People, by Our People 2 BANDS 2 Miss Gertie Wells' Syncopated Orchestra and a Special Picked Band will play for the occasion 10 Capable Policemen to enforce the law.

How can the Government expect loyalty on our part when it will protect the citizens from any and every foreign country at our expense? The 15,000,000 colored citizens of the United States, do not fare as well, nor count for as much as do the aliens here. These aliens are accorded more privileges and are given more rights than the loyal black citizens. Think of three human beings being first tortured, by floggins and mutilation, then burned, one after the other, as they were in Kervin, Texas, recently. Take the Davisboro, Georgia, case. A colored boy fifteen years old, accused of killing and robbing a white woman, was roasted slowly for fifteen minutes to make him confess to a crime that he did not commit and to force him to incriminate other innocent ones. After roasting him for fifteen minutes, he was questioned concerning the killing. Do you think you could give a correct statement after having been roasted fifteen minutes. After questioning him, he was placed over the fire again and 200 shots were fired into his charred body. This was in a courthouse yard in Georgia, a state of the United States of America; and all of it was done in broad open daylight. Mobs do not now have to cover their faces nor skulk about to hide their identity. The officers of the law who swear to uphold the law are frequently the leaders of the mobs. What will the end be ?
