TO SELL 500 SHARES OF STOCK Suburban Garden Concessions Owned and Operated by this Company News that the Capital Coaster Co., had placed on sale 500 shares of its stock attracted much attention last week among shrewd investors. The Capital Coaster Co., owns and operates most of the concessions at the Suburban Garden and last year did a recrod business. The company owns the dodgem, the aerial swings and the scenic railway. That this stock will soon be taken up, is attested to by the financial condition of the company. Starting late in the season last year (as most of the concessions were not ready until July), this company, notwithstanding 47 rainy days during the season, it took in from its three concessions, $24,390.00 With the popularity of these concessions now well established, the company reasonably expects to double this income next summer. The Capital Coaster Company is buying its concessions outright. On the scenic railway, which cost $30,000, it owes after just one season only $5,295.60. Therefore, next season, the company's biggest money maker will have been paid for in full. There is no doubt that with a good season next year, the company will pay a handsome dividend. The company is headed by some of the city's most substantial and successful business men, with George A. Robinson as President, a realty holder, the proprietor of a chain of eight prosperous barber shops, the Treasurer of, and Director in the Standard Investment and Development Co., Inc., and other leading concerns; Dr. W. L. Board, Vive-President, a successful druggist and business man, the President of the Standard Investment and Development Co., and a director in several other leading concerns; Mr. S. M. Dudley, Secretary, attorney-at-law and Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church; Mr. Frederick Fichell, Treasurer, a successful business man and reality holder; Mr. John A. Hyder, treee, a successful business man and reality holder, Treasurer of and a Director in the Universal Development and Loan Co., Inc., to Omega Psi Phi To Meet in Philadelphia Omega Psi Phi To Meet in Philadelphia Local Chapter Expects to Win Coveted Prize For Accomplishments From December 20th to December 30th, inclusive, a grand conclave of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will convene in Philadelphia for its annual supreme session. At that time delegates will be sent from every institution of learning where the twenty-three chapters of this Greek Letter organization exist, to participate in what is reported to be one of the most important sessions in the history of the fraternity. Washington will be ably represented at this great meeting by four of the most forward looking and progressive young men in fraternity life; Messrs. W. Spurgeon Burke and John W. Love will represent the Alpha Omega Chapter; Messrs. Percy Richardson and Carter Marshall, the Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The former chapter is composed of graduate members and is at the present time doing some of the most constructive work of any of the numerous chapters scattered throughout the country. The Alpha Chapter is composed of the under-graduate body and is one of the leading undergraduate chapters listed among the large and growing fraternities. The two above named chapters of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, having experienced one of the most successful years in their career, are expected to win the banner awarded annually for the accomplishment of results. The Washington delegates are determined to carry a ringing message of cheer and courage and at the same time to present the outstanding report of the assembled delegates. In an interview with Mr. Burke, he spoke diplomatically and suggestively of what was the central idea to be accomplished at the supreme sessions. He stated that within the next week or ten days university men and women of the United States would receive a report of the most constructive and far reaching program ever launched by a Negro Greek Letter fraternity. gether with other equally well-known and reliable men associated with them.

W Charged With Connection W of William Bu Avenue Bay MINISTERS ALLIANCE INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS Installation Services Held Monday at Union Wesley Church The installation of the officers of the Ministerial Alliance took place Monday night at Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, of which the Rev. E. D. W. Jones is pastor. Rev. Jones was elected president of the Alliance and it is the custom of the Alliance to have the installation at the church of which the president is pastor. The program consisted of music, addresses and a banquet. The theme for the evenning was the unity and value of the Christian church in building up better relations between the races of the earth. Dr. D. E. Wiseman brought out the fact that this present alliance of ministers of the District is the outgrowth of several efforts for this purpose. The efforts begun about forty years ago in the Ministerial Concerts, followed by the Interdenominational Conference out of which grew the present organization of the Alliance. The following officers were installed by Dr. Waler H. Broks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church; Rev. E. D. W. Jones, president; Rev. G. T. Long, vice-president; Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, secretary; Rev. J. U. King assistant secretary; Rev. D. E. Wiseman, treasurer, and Rev. W. D. Battle, reporter. Dr. Brooks said in installing the officers: "It is a beautiful sight to see this body of leaders of the various denominations of the city, interested in the work of the Master and all interested in our race as colored Americans." Rev. Jones said: "Whatsoever you sow, that shall you also reap' is as applicable to doing good as it is to doing ill. The zeal for denominationalism has been a great retardant factor in our progress for it has divided us as a race." Other than the members of the Alliance, Secretary Stevenson, of the Y. M. C. A., delivered a short but enlightening address on the materialistic tendencies of the people of the United States. Rev. S. E. C. Lord, a missionary to Hati, was presented and made a short address on conditions in that Republic. He is under Bishop Fountain of the A. M. E. Church. Capt. Edw. Chives, of the Georgetown Patriarchy, No. 42, G. U. O. O. F., was presented. His team won the first prize at Cleveland last September. A four course banquet was served, following the prgram. ARMSTRONG EVENING CLASSES HOLD EXERCISES WEDNESDAY evening at 8 o'clock the Armstrong High School evening classes under the directorship of Mr. C. W. Childs, Jr. and Principal J. P. Taylor, held their Yuletide exercises. The program consisted of an exhibition of work of various classes in arts and sciences. There was a dance in the gymnasium, with music by Duke Ellington. During intermission refreshments were served to the students and friends. Decorations were elaborate. If The Tribune is not being delivered to you promptly, notify the office at once. We aim to give you good service. ckson Manslaughter in With the Killing Bush at Florida baptist Church The charge of manslaughter lodged against Jos. Burke of 226 Georgia Avenue and James A. Jackson of 1823 Sixth St. N. W., last January for the killing of William Bush at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, were dropped last week, when the District Grand Jury for the second time failed to return true bills against them. Attorneys Thos. L. James, Royal A. Hughes and George E. C. Hayes, went before the grand jury and presented their evidence and called their witnesses and so clear was their case that the grand jury took the above action. The charge against these two men, grew out of a fight on the Bohrer Street side of Florida Avenue Baptist Church over the admission of certain members into the church to one of the regular business meetings. In the course of the altercation, Bush was struck over the head by canes in the hands of Burke and Jackson. However, evidence was presented to show that at the time Bush was armed with a pistol. At that time the church was divided into factions, one for the pastor, Rev. Wm. A. Taylor, and one against the pastor, Burke and Jackson were on the side opposed to the pastor, and Bush, who was killed, was on the pastor's side. The trouble was one of the most unpleasant affairs in the history of the local churches. The fact that the case was presented to the grand jury on two different occasions, and each time refused to indict the two men, is practically a complete exoneration for them.

Knight and D. H. Edwards. At the regular meeting last Friday night, the two fraters were welcomed into the professional realm by other fraters who are practicing attorneys. Eight new members were recently initiated into the fraternity. They come with good records as to scholarship and potential lawyers. Most of the new men were already in the fraternity home and, therefore, experience no difficulty in their new relationship.

A. of this city sends out the following: Dear Friends: On Tuesday, December 19, we celebrated our second anniversary in our new building. A short time, you say, but we have tried to make it profitable by filling it with events helpful to all who came within our midst. Through all ages men have had a light before them which, if they followed, faithfully, always led them to the fulfillment of their hopes. To the Wise Men and the Shepherds at that first Christmas time this light was the Star of Bethlehem; the light which led the knights of old was the light of the Grail; and now our symbol, the Blue Triangle, with its threefold purpose in caring for the body, mind, and spirit, serves as our guide, and "Everywhere, always, in sunshine and shadow, in joy, in disappointment, in success, in defeat, we, the women of the Y. W. C. A. follow its gleam." As you have seen our struggles through the years, and especially in these last two years in our new building, we ask at this time of our annive sary, that you will not withhold your help and inspiration in the years to come. Girl Reserves Help in Church Drive Members of the Junior Dramatic Club of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. went to Fairmont Heights on Friday night, December 15, to assist in the drive for obtaining a parsonage for the pastor. The girls gave a Fanceful Playlet, "Old Pipes and the Dryad." Those taking part were Hottense Mims, Lizzie Glass, Wenonah Bond, Harriet Feruson, Julia Delany, Elizabeth Morton, Mildred Reese, Lottie Anthony, and Mazie Johnson. The audience was thoroughly appreciative, and enjoyed immensely the effort of the players. The girls deserve much credit, as they arranged and dramatized the play themselves. Christmas Play by Girl Reserves On Sunday afternoon, December 17, the Girl Reserves gave the first of a series of Vesper Services for the year. At this time they retold in drama and tableaux the old, old story ever new of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and its significance. Through the play the girls showed that the true Christmas Spirit prompts us, not only to rejoice with and give gifts to our friends, but to show a fellow feeling for all, even as the angels brought the announcement—not only to the wise, rich kings, but also to the lowly shepherds; for the angels said, "For behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." G. R. Clubs to give Supper On Thursday afternoon, at 6 o'clock the Phyllis Wheatley and Excelcslions Clubs of the Girl Reserves wil give a supper to all other high school girl reserve clubs. This event is in accordance with the plan adopted by the High School G. R. conference for more sociability among the clubs.

McFall Film Productions besides having an able staff of actors boasts one of the best technical staffs in the country and the pictures turned out by them should mark epochs in colored film comedy production. No less a personage than Kim Kimani, beautiful and versatile actress, featured over the T. O. B. A. vaudeville circuit, is being starred in the comedies produced by the new cinema firm. Among the local celebrities being used in the McFall Film Productions are Wm. E. Holman, Juanita Patterson, Mae Morris, Hank Harding and Byron Smith.

Until the new and modern studio is opened by the new company interior scenes will be filmed at National Film Company Studios.

I. A. A. CON- FERENCE ELEVEN (By A. Leon Richardson) The writer of this article has liste) ‘two teams from the Celera Interen legiate Athletic Asssciation compris- See cece oa Howard, ‘Lincoln, Hampton, Union, Va. Semi- nary, Virginia Normal and Shaw, The men who compose these two teams vere selected upon merit. The selec- tions were made on the basis fo abil- ity, superiority, clean and manly sportsmanship throughout the season, As to the fitness of the men, the writer thinks that the work of Brown at end’ of Va. Normal, Lancaster of Lincoln, Williams of Howdrd, and Jones of Hampton stood out singularly So far as the requirements for an end are concerned, these men came nearer to them than any ends of the other colored elevens. Out of the great number of can- didates for tackles, it was a difficult job to weed out those out-standing. So, after considering the qualities of a tackle, and after much deliberation and elimination, the writer selected Coston of Lincoin and Coleman of Hampton for the first team, and Wood of Lincoln and Hammond of Hampton for the second team. These men have been seen in action by the writer in most of their games and they possess all of the sterling qualities of a tackle. Now we come to the selection of the less noticed—but the work horses “of-tietine—the guards. Throue’ ~ tedious process of elimination based upon their ability as defensive and offensive players, gap openers, punt the first team; Smith of Howard and Lee of Va. Normal were selected for the first team; Smithof Howard and McDonald of Union for the seeond team. For centers, Dabney of Hampton is placed in the first team, and Holton of Howard in the second team. Al- though Holton and Dabney play a different brand of ball, in reviewing the two men it was a hard job to <elect he first man. Holton has been re- ited as one of the best and most suc- edful passers’ in the country; the oach of Georgetown University has waid him a similar tribute. Dabney is elected as captain of the All-C.LA.A. eam, We come to the backs. Jackson of Jnion is selected quarter back for the irst team, Jackson is a toeman, a yroken field runner and a good off- ine player. He is good in everything. \icLean of Lincoln is selected for the econd team. Mack is not a kicker, but he is a brilliant broken field run- 1er—speedy, a pasver, and a field eneral. As halfbacks, Doneghy of Howard, nd Williams of Shaw win the first eam. Doneghy is pronounced by the press as one of the best halfbacks in he country. He has already been se- jected in almost every All-Amrican election, Williams of Shaw is always n the alert, speedy and a consistent round gainer, He is a hard man to xckle. For the second team the wri- er selects Carter of Howard on ac- jount of his ability to carry the ball nder the circumstances which he la- jored. “Whirlwind” Johnson of Lin- foln selected for the other half. In_ reviewing the fullbacks, the viter selects Fentress of Union for he first team, and Gunn of Hampton for the second team. Fentress has ut few equals as a defensive back. funn of Hampton ia the best drop- ieker in colored schools. The above comment indicates the hain reasons for the selections made; jut before closing the article I would hake mention of Jordan of Va. Semi- ary, the big tackle. Jordan would ve had a chance to reveal his good jualities had not his team forfeited sh many games. I would also honor- bly mention Jacobs of Hampton as a luarterback, and Skinker of Lincoln a. an end. HOWARD'S NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR | By H. Seott The announcement that Howard has ee Louis L. Watson as Director Physical Education, beginning Jan- ajry Ist 1928, has been highly lauded pf’ the student body and local mem- bers of the alumni. Mr. Watson is well fitted for the psition. He was born in Alexandria, 1. He graduated from M Street igh School in 1913, and from the edilege department of Howard Uni- versity in 1917. In 1921, Mr. Watson graduated fyom the Springfield Y. M. C. A. Col- ize of Springfield, Mass. with the i¢zree of Bachelor of Physical Edu- cqtion. It was while at Springfield that Ir. Watson achieved wide fame as an ajhlete and student. According to Jess reports, which we recently were fqrtunate enough to see, Watson ranks th the greatest ends that ever rep- ented Springfild.

A. 220-yard sprint champion. Sam Feldmon, the Yale flash, and Burke the speed marvel of Holy Cross, are also on Watson’s list of victims. Mi. Watson was made student in- structor of football and track in 1921 and there gained his first knowledge of coaching. In addition to athletic fame the new Howard director was the Manag- ing Editor of “The Springfield Stu- dent,” member of physical depart. ment committee, member of the stu- dent’s cabinet, and coach of the fresh- men and varsity debating teams in 1920 and 1921, respectively. During the war, Mr, Watson re- ceived a first-licutenant’s commission from the officers, training school, Des Moings, Iowa, and was promoted tc Captain at Camp Lee, Virginia. As Athletic Director at Virginia Normal for the past two years, Wat son has developed baseball, track an¢ football teams capable of holding thei own wtih Howard and other colleg teams. Va. Normal’s 1922 footbal team was the only eleven to defeat Hampton and only lost to Howard through failure to complete a “tr3 for point.” It is expected that Mr, Watson wil be assisted in all sports by Howard men, It is likely that Mr. Dash, one of the greatest of basketball players an¢ who at present is completing a speeia medical course at Howard, will assis in coaching the quint while Mr. Majo Allen, a star professional baseball player also attending the University will again assist in coaching the base ball team. A general rumor has it that Dr. Morrison will be signed up to assis Mr, Watson with the varsity next fall Dr. Morrison is not connected with the University’s physical educational department any longer. December Ist ended Morrison’s con. tract as coach. He is now and in. stractor in the Howard Dental In- firmary and has opened a private of- fice at 391 Florida Ave. N.W. If Dr Morrison can find the time it is like ly that he will help Watson to roun¢ out the squad next Fall, JOHNSON TO LEAD LINCOLN Rebert W.

The 22 letter men voted unanimously for the versatile player from Midlothian, Va. The se- lection of Wallace Thomas Parker, 24, who is one of the most prominent students at St. Paul School, has the approbation of the Alumni, Parker was one of the most consistent, hard- charging and stpic backs of the 1922 football season. Captain-elect Parker will have a tremendously hard schedule to face, but with the loss of only two men of this year’s premier eleven, he is cer- tain to pilot a strong and experienced team against the cquntry’s best Negro football machines in 1923, St, Paul it play Virginia Seminary October 6th jat Lawrenceville; Howard (date pending) October 13th, at Lawrence- ville; Hampton (date pending) Octo- ber 20th, at Hampton; Union.

PAUL QUINN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Waco, Texas, Dec. 1—Paul Quinn College finished the conference season with a blaze of glory, whipping Sam Housotn College of Austin by the tune of 23 'to.@ ‘Thanksgiving Day This victory gives the Waco Institu- tion the undisputed championship of the Southern Conference. This eleven representing the Methodist school, has won from every other school in the conference, A brief survey of the season's work shows the hard struggle the Wacoan: have encountered. ‘The season opened October 31, and closed November 30 which means that Paul Quinn took on and defeated five hard teams in the space of thirty days. The results of the games are as fol- lows: October: $1, Paul Quinn 2% Jarvis Institute 0; November 11, 33 to Texas College's 0; November 18, 13 to Prairie View's 7; November 25, 13 to Wiley’s 0; November 30, 23 to Hous- ton’s 6. Thiv gives Paul Quinn a total of 105 points to their opponents! 18) ‘There were no outstanding stars on the purple and gold machine, but there were eleven men, well drilled in the art of team work, and this fact put Paul Quinn at the top of the list this year. In the line, Sanders at center, and Morgan and Jefferson at tackle, outclassed anything in the conference this fall, while Nichols and Lincoln at guard, were very dependable men. end and Greene and Slaughter at At quarter Sheppard is without an equal in the southwest as an open field runner or a dropkicker, and swhile his generalship was not always the best, the power of the purple and gold ma- chine caused most of “his shortcom- ings to pass unnoticed. ‘The halves were well taken care of by Sedberry, the best interference runner in the conference, and Tinsley, whose line plunging tactics in the last few games drew much comment from the critics. Jackson at fullback also played an important part in the teams success with his wonderful interefer- ing and defensive play, Much credit isu due the reserve strength of the eleven had in such men as Maney, Kirven and Fields.

Captain Lewis Coates, Harris and Trigg are the players showing most ability. Coach McDuffey, assisted by Messrs. Compton and Henderson have been drilling a large squad and are quite hopeful of developing a fast and heavyweight five. Nothing definite has been learned of basket ball plans at Howard. But regardless of whether the university is represented with a varsity team or not, many strong class and fraternal teams will be found on the hill. Recently the "Collegians," a Howard quint, journeyed to New York and met the "Defenders'' of that city, the latter winning by the close score of 19 to 17. The "Collegians" later in the season will give any team in the country considerable trouble. Basketball at the Y. W. C. A. is rapidly advancing. Already two games have been played by Miss Brooks' proteges and two victories recorded. With proper support, the brand of basketball at the "Y. W." this winter will exceed anything that local girls have heretofore presented. LINCOLN QUINT ACTIVE Facing one of the stiffest contests in the history of basket ball at Lincoln the Lions got under way last week at Baltimore where they lost to the strong Athenians 37 to 28.

M. C. A. League is the proposal to hold a basket ball tournament at Murray Casino every Wednesday night, starting about the second week in January. Plans are now being made by Messrs. E. L. Conway and G. F. Jones. All local teams will be eligible to compete for the city championship and incidently a number of handsome prizes including two or three silver cups. Contrary to the former policy these cups will become the private property of the winning teams. Dancing After Game Another feature of this venture is that dancing will follow each game. Nothing is being left undone to encourage interest in this sport. Special efforts will be made to convert the ladies into ardent basket ball lovers.

NEW THEATRE OPENED IN SOUTHWEST Southwest Washington now has a new theatre. The Rosalia, located on F Street between Second and Third Sts. Mr. John Nelson is the owner and manager of this new playhouse. At present, the policy of the house is to run high class pictures, but as the house is equipped to handle vaudeville, the management, it is claimed, expects to combine vaudeville with pictures in the very near future. The new house has met with popular approval by the people and the management is striving to give the patrons the very best in the way of pictures. The house is conveniently located to a very large number of people and it is expected to become the center of all Southwest's theatrical activities. Mr. Nelson is a business man of considerable experience and is also a resident of that section. He is well known and liked and he intends to make the Rosalia one of Washington's most popular theatres. The theatre is entirely new, and seats between three and four hundred people. It is handsomely decorated throughout. Mrs. Sarah Bailey the mother of Mr. S. B. Bailey of 219 3rd St., N.E. died recently. She was a devoted member of the Harmony A. M. E.

The Peerless Quartet of St. Louis gave a wireless concert recently at the request of the St. Louis Dispatch MRS. ANNA M. OVER IS DEAD 20 years with Navy Department Dec. 20—Mrs. Anna M. Over, widow of the late Dr. Walter S. Over, who was a pioneer and well-known demi-here, died December 16th at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mamie D. Coates 112 Florida avenue, after a brief illness. Mrs. Over had been an employee of the Navy Department for 20 years having been appointed there by Hon John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy in the cabinet of former President Roosevelt. She was a member of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, having joined there when Bishop I. N. Ross was pastor. She was also affiliated with several benevolent organizations. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. U. King, pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. Wm. H. Howard a personal friend of the family. Many friends paid their tribute of respect, and the floral offerings were very beautiful. She is survived by her father and several sisters and brothers. FUNERAL OF MRS. MARGARET PRYOR TROMAS Funeral services of Mrs. Margaret Pryor Thomas of 2223 F Street, N.W., daughter of the late Melina and Elias Jeffries, devoted mother of Mrs. Maggie Todd and Charles Pryor, and beloved sister of Mrs. Clementine Parker, James, Anthony and Earnest Jeffries, were held at the First Baptist Church, West Washington, D. C., on Sunday afternoon, December 17th, 1922 at 2:30 o'clock, with Rev. James L. Pinn officiating. Eulogies were made by Rev. C. N. Pryor, who portrayed the splendid christian life that the deceased had lived, and her loyalty to her church. He used as a basis of his remarks, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." Rev. Jas. L. Pinn spoke of the deceased as being a model mother and also of the great love she had for holding up the name of Christ in her home. He paid Mrs. Thomas a very glowing tribute for the forty years of service that she rendered in the choir of said church until her health became impaired and she was forced to retire. Rev. C. Y. Trigg, pastor of the Mt. Zion M. E. Church and Rev. L. R. Frayers, pastor of Alexander Memorial Baptist Church were present and made short and timely eulogies over the deceased. As the deceased was especially fond of music, three solos were rendered by Mrs. Ethel Bolden, Mrs. Daisy Alston and Mr. Stanley Brooks, which were very impressive. Condolences were read from the choir; Community Christian Endeavor Society; Minerva Household of Ruth; G. U. O. of O. F.; and Williams Tabernacle, A. I. O. of Moses all speaking of the many good characters that the deceased was possessed with. Rev. E. E. Ricks, pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, N. J., former pastor of the deceased sent a telegram expressing sympathy to the family and his inability to be present, which was read by Rev. Pinn. The floral tributes were beautiful and numerous. Interment took place in Mount Zion Cemetery. Foundling Story Has Unlimited Human Appeal—Bessie Love and Gareth Hughes in Cast "Forget-Me-Not," the Metro picture which comes to the Dunbar Theatre on Xmas reproduces with great fidelity the life story of two foundlings. In the orphanage where her mother had left her as a baby, Ann Gordon had found one congenial soul, another foundnig named Jimmy. But one day there comes a rich woman who choses Jimmy for adoption and Ann is left alone. The other children eventually find homes but no one wants the little girl with a crippled leg. A street musician takes pity on her and she goes to share his meagre one-room home. Thus the paths of the two childhood sweethearts diverge, but through the long years Ann carries the memory of Jimmy and from it draws inspiration and courage in her struggle to become a successful violinist. It is a story of faith and love and yearning for happiness that is thoroughly human from beginning to end. The orphans are played by Gareth Hughes and Bessie Love who make the characters so lovable and so pitiful that there is a constant tug at the heart strings. "Forget-Me-Not" is a Louis Burston production, written by Henry R. Symonds and adapted by John B. Clymer. It was directed by W. S. Van Dyke. "The Belle of Alaska" Big Yukon Spectacle of Great Outdoors Full of Action, Thrills, Pathos Jane Novak, in "Belle of Alaska," directed by Chester Bennett and distributed by American Releasing Corporation, which will show at the Dunbar Theatre, next Friday and Saturday, is plumb full of thrills, action and pathos. One of the mighty thrills, showing a Yukon steamer crashing against an iceberg off the Pacific coast, is said to be the most effective shipwreck scene ever devised for a motion picture entertainment. Half dressed, undressed, half dazed from sleep, passengers are shown in a mad fight for safety. The ship is seen sinking slowly as the steamer's searchlight plays upon the surface of the water. Scores of desperate passengers can be seen struggling in the water to climb on life rafts, life preservers or any litter from the ship floating about in the water. Miss Novak's sensational leap off the steamer deck in another scene will afford the spectator one of the most thrilling incidents ever depicted. A mad swim for the dock by Miss Novak will make your hair stand on end while the passengers aboard the ship become panic stricken at the sight of this girl in the water after her mysterious leap. Miss Novak illustrates her ability as an emotional actress in this heart and action drama of the roaring Yukon. Bishop and Desmond at Howard Nexr Week The management at The Howard Theater has arranged one of the best bills in the country for the approval of local theater-goers next week with a special Christmas night performance. The "Bandit Man" will be the offering; the story is one of the most interesting and contains many thrills. The cast is headed by Washington's favorite actor, Andrew Bishop, who is assisted by Cleo Desmond, another local favorite. This will be Mr. Bishop's and Miss Desmond's first appearance in Washington since their successful engagement in "The Storm." That the two stars will be ably supported is attested to by the heavy cast surrounding them. Besides Mr. Bishop and Miss Desmond, the cast includes, J. Lawrence Criner, William (Babe) Townsend, Edward Thompson, Harry Plater, A. B. DeComathiere, Walter Robinson, Edna Lewis Thomas, Isabelle Jackson and Mary Baker. Practically all of these actors are well known in Washington as they have played here in many popular shows. The return of these popular actors in such a strong play as "The Bandit Man" is bound to attract large crowds to the Howard during the holiday week. Manager Saunders is preparing many features for next week for the comfort and entertainment of his pat- PAGE FIVE CONSTANT CARE—NOT LUCK Human history and experience have taught us that many persons believe that a head of naturally long and beautiful hair, a healthy scalp and a lovely smooth complexion come from luck, but they do not.

Greene How sweet the old church bell doth peal In harmony sublime, The joy that every heart must feel, At happy Christmas Time. You more and more and more. Tho we could not bring gifts to Christ As did the Wise Men long ago, We still can give our gifts to Him By giving to the poor, you know. * * * * Around the Christmas Tree. CHRISTMAS By Samuel J. Baskerville This word to thee, my toiling brother, Has it not a sacred clue? Dost thou not, oh, wandering pilgrim Remember Christ—the Babe—the Jew? In Bethlehem one Christmas morning A holy babe in a manger lay, His form was wrapped in the coarsest garment His face gave light to the glorious day. He came that thou and thine might enter Into the sacred realm of God; His word He gave least mortals falter When Justice wields a chastening rod. For the high, the low, the rich, the poor, For the humble and the stuffed with pride, For the thief that hung on Calvary's cross Christ suffered, bled and died. He arose from the dead on Easter day And ascended to the throne of God— From thence, lie's coming as a reckon- ing judge And to every one give an earned reward. LITTLE HINTS TO TRIBUNITES Here are a few little helpful hints that you girls and boys can use which you will find rather useful. Iodine stains will disappear by morning if left in water into which Repeat if the stain is an old one. Paint brushes that have become hard can be cleaned in boiling vinegar as well as in cold turpentine. Vinegar softens more quickly than turpentine. Let the brush stand in the vinegar when you have finished painting. If you would like to study or do sewing in a small bedroom you will find that it has jits drawbacks. I counteract these by fastening together two extension table leaves, of which every house seems to harbor an extra supply. I lay them on the bed, resting the ends on the pillows to get a convenient height. Here I cut and baste with ease, and the boards are easily hidden where a cumbersome table would not go.

St. Luke 2:14 Every Tribunite is requested to read the first twenty verses of the second chapter of St. Luke. PRIZE WINNERS: DEC 9, 1922 “Honor Children”: Violet M. Harris, C. Priscilla Shorter, Alease O. Woods, “Specials”: Joseph Smith, Ollie Burroughs, M. Theodora Brooks. Special Mention Special mention must be made of the following Tribunites who made such fine efforts to solve the puzzles or to answer the Negro question. Julia Kent, William Harris, Ethel Nixon, Helen Carroll, Irone C. Watson, Arthur Kent, Emma A. Ruffin, Antoinette Tucker, Harry Shorter, R. P. Turner. To strive once, strive twice, then cease is of no avail. You must strive, and strive, and strive or else you're sure to fail. You cannot quit, and win the victor's crown: No quitter yet has ever won renown. HASTE MAKES WASTE It seems as though the puzzles were blown into the air last week and remained in the air. The condition of the puzzles is an evidence of haste making waste. The foreman of the press room had trouble with his presses. All was confusion. The foreman was impatient. He called for all forms to be closed and rushed to the presses without further delay. The make-ready man dropped all correcting of forms, and the many errors on the Page for last week is the result. "Printer's Pi" and the "Lost Line" were valueless because the pi was incorrect and the lost line was not lost. "Printer's Pi" is reprinted this week.

By Ethel Nixon, 12 The greatest accomplishment by a Negro is the starting of the newspaper by John Russwurm. A newspaper keeps you in touch with what is going on in the world; things that happen day by day. It enables you to know what other people are doing and thinking about. It puts you in touch with stores and with the market price of goods. It keeps you in touch with inventions, new discoveries in medicines, science, art and history. If it is well edited it molds public opinion. Rufus P. Turner. 14 I consider the founding of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, by Isaiah T. Montgomery, the greatest accomplishment because he has done a great thing to aid the progress of his race. He has proved that Negroes can govern themselves. By C. Priscilla Shorter, 13 Booker T. Washington was born about 1859 at Franklin, Va., in a logcabin. He was born a slave and knew nothing of his father. To his mother he paid the highest tribute. He described her at the "noblest embodiment of womanhood with whom I have come in contact." When he finished school at Franklin, Va., he was so hungry for education that he walked from Franklin to Hampton Institute, Va. He walked all the way because he was poor and had no other way of getting there. The result was he graduated with high honors and has made many great accomplishments. One of them is the founding of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. This institution, is for the betterment, of our race, physically, and industrially. It helps those who have ideas, to develop them into other great accomplishments. The institution is making our race more progressive and has the name of being one of the greatest Negro institutes of the world. Riddle EVERY CHILD'S KING DRAWN by RUFUS P.

They were rich children and had all kinds of toys. On Christmas eve they were wondering about the poor sick children in the hospitals, and thinking they must be very lonesome on Christmas Day. Suddenly Julia said, "I am going to share my toys with the sick children, Theodisia." "I am too. That's a dandy idea but the hospital is two miles away. How can we go without telling mother?" replied Julia. "I tell you, I am going to ask Santa Claus for a sled, and I am going whether you go or not," said Julia. "I'll go if Santa brings a sled," agreed Theodosia. "All right. Let's write our letters now." So they sat down and wrote their letters to Santa Claus. They put the letters in their stockings and hung them over the fireplace. Christmas dawned. A tap on the a wagon with disk wheels, sled, electric train, football, and some clothes. HUGH DOWLING. window and they awoke thinking it was Santa but when they opened their eyes it was broad daylight. They dressed hurriedly and then went to see what Santa had brought them. They found large sleds, Japanese dolls toys of every kind. The snow lay thick on the sidewalk and of course the day was decided upon as a fine day to use their new sleds. They packed their toys on the sleds and hurried to the hospital. After distributing the toys among the sick children and because it was growing dark, they started home. In their haste Theodosia slid off her sled and fell into a deep pile of snow. As soon as Julia missed her she at once became frightened and when she realized what would happen if she returned home without Theodosia she turned back and went in search of her sister. She found her lying senseless in the snow. She moved the child to the sled and then ran to the hospital for help. A nurse came back with her and together they moved the child to her home. Their parents were dreadfully frightened when they saw the nurse bringing their children home. In a few days the health of Theodosia had been restored. She had only been stunned. When the mother heard from the nurse how they had shared their presents with the sick children, she was very proud. She filled a basket, every week, for the sick children. Through all the years that passed they never forgot the Christmas when they had made some poor children happy, did they forget the saying, "It is better to give than to receive." MY GREETING If I could think of pretty things to say to you at Christmas time I do not think I'd be content to say it in simple rhyme. But I would burn it in my soul and say it in my daily prayer And God would hear it and He would ope your heart and place it there. —C. L. F. A MESSAGE TO AMERICA By Kurtis P. Turner (Age 14) A few day ago Monsieur Georges Clemenceau, on receiving a basket of flowers from our race, thanked the colored soldiers on behalf of the Republic of France for the splendid service rendered by them in the great World War. We should be glad that some nation appreciates our efforts. Thousands of colored soldiers gave up their comforts of life, left their families and went to war to make the world safe for "democracy" - what thanks did they get? - They are lynched, disfranchised, executed without trial and thousands of other things that tend to make an autocracy out of a democracy. Oh! America, is this your thanks for the brave fighting rendered by your colored soldiers? Will you continue to allow a lawless body of men molet the colored race, brand them as if they were cattle, and snuff out their lives unmerefically? The colored men stand ready to defend your cause whenever need be, yet they are tortured and antagonized How long, O America, will this last? "If the muse were mine to tempt it, And my feeble voice were strong I would sing a song heroic, I would sing a stirring song, Of the noble sons of Ham, Of the gallant colored soldiers Who fought for Uncle Sam."
