A HAPPY NEW YEAR Mobs Lynched Fifty-Seven in 1922 RESOLVE to read The Tribune every week of the New Year and don't forget to do it. Mobs PROTEST SALARY DISCRIMINATION IN SCHOOLS White Teachers Get More For Doing Same Work As Colored In a letter to Chairman Martin B. Madden of the House Appropriations Committee, calling his attention to the discrepencies in the salary of the colored teachers as compared with the whites for the same work and calling for the same requirements, Mr. Neval Thomas said that. "The white director of primary instruction receives a maximum salary $2,900 per year and an allowance of $360 per year for an automobile. The colored director of this same work in the colored schools receives but $2,290 an no allowance for transportation, which makes a difference of $970 per year. "Second, the white directors of music, drawing, physical culture, domestic science, domestic art, kindergartens and penmanship receive a maximum salary of $2,740; and the colored directors of these same subjects but $2,290, making a difference of $450 per annum. Both colored and white directors must meet the same educational and professional requirements for appointment, render identical service, and cover the same wide areas of supervision. The salaries of the white and colored directors of manual training are as unequal as those of the white and colored directors of primary instruction." Whether this discrimination in salary is intentional or not, is not known, but Mr. Thomas has served office that he will fight to the end for a correction of it. American Negro Academy Meets in Annual Session American Negro Academy Meets in Annual Session The twenty-sixth annual meeting of the American Negro Academy came to a close on Thursday night with an address on "Race in Culture," by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin until recently head of the Department of English at the Virginia Military Institute. Prof. Kerlin discussed the subject from a scientific standpoint and showed that culture did not follow race lines but was rather a product of opportunity and environment. The remainder of the program included papers by Dr. J. J. France of Portsmouth, Va.; T. Montgomery Gregory of this city; and the president, Arthur A. Schomburg of New York. Prof. Kerlin and the out-of-town members of the Academy were the guests of the home members at a luncheon at the Mu-So-Lit Club, on Thursday afternoon. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: Arthur A. Schomburg of New York, president; J. R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va.; Chas. D. Martin of New York, L. Z. Johnson of Washington and J. E. Bruce of New York, vice-presidents; T. M. Dent recording secretary; L. M. Hershaw, treasurer; John W. Cromwell, Sr., Jos. J. France, Alain Le Roy Locke, F. H. M. Murray and Walter H. Brooks, executive committee; Robert A. Pelham, corresponding secretary; T. Montgomery Gregory, librarian. All the persons named after the vice-presidents, are local men except Dr. France, who is from Portsmouth, Va. The Place and time of the next meeting was left to the executive committee. The Washington Tribune DEFEAT OF ANTI- LYNCHING BILL NOT PARTISAN L. M. Hershaw Points Out Danger of That Point of View In a letter to The Tribune, Mr. L. M. Hershaw of this city points out some facts that the race should learn from the recent defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by the Senate. Mr. Hershaw also discusses the letter Perry Howard sent Senator duPont. His letter follows: Editor of The Tribune: As to the failure of anti-lynching legislation in the present Congress, it will be unfortunate if our people are unable to think of it, except from the partisan political point of view. No political party is committed to the policy of lynch law. Even in the Southern States, where the single party system prevails, that single party has voiced opposition to lynch law, but insists that the question is one of peculiar local concern and jurisdiction. It is not in prospect that the question of lynching, will make a line of cleavage between the two major political parties, just as it is perfectly apparent that no matter involving race prejudice is an issue between said parties. The question of security of life, property and opinion goes to the very foundation of organized government, and the destiny of all groups in the nation is related to it, and the labor of the future is to plant this thought in the popular mind. If however, the failure of antilynching legislation shall create in the intelligent groups of the colored people the ability to see things from other points of view than that of partisan politics, it will be worth all the disappointment which it has caused. The great trouble with our viewpoint is that, in too few instances, is it based on knowledge, understanding and reflection. It does not reflect a familiarity with human experience as recorded in history, science, and philosophy. Our question is one of fundamental human concern and destiny. It must exist in our minds as such, and then other minds can be appealed to on this basis. Nothing so well illustrates our general attitude of mind toward our own question as the outburst of denunciation and condemnation which has followed the publication of the regrettable letter of Mr. Perry W. Howard, as an example of thinking, and deriving its importance entirely from the fact that its author is an employee of the federal government and an active partisan worker. This is an unfortunate conception of things. It is doubtful whether there is anything in the letter which warrants the application to its writer of the epithet "traitor." If such a harsh term is to be applied to an act which, at most, is but a piece of thoughtlessness and indiscrimination, what term would be in reserve to apply to a serious, conscious act of treason? There is nothing of statesmanship, nothing of sound politics, nothing of broad humanity in the letter, which should arist attention. The letter is sure to be forgotten, and to pass as merely the expression of a partisan worker, actuated by an excess of zeal. It is well, in this connection to recall the words of Frederick Douglass who, in commenting on the assent of Isaiah T. Montgomery to the disfranchisement of Negroes in Mississippi, said: "Montgomery is not a conscious traitor, although his act is treason." Let us try to see small things in their relation to larger things, and thus preserve our sense of proportion. WASHINGTON, D. C. ched TO RA SUC 1923 KEEPING UP DESPITE HIS REVIEW OF YEA NEGRO AWA TO RACIAL SUCCESS 1923 PREJUDICE COLORED AMERICAN ECONOMIC SLAVERY DISPRACHISEMENT KEEPING UP DESPITE HIS HANDICAPS REVIEW OF YEAR'S ACTIVITIES SHOW THE NEGRO AWAKENING TO HIS OPPORTUNITIES NEEDY KIDDIES MADE HAPPY WITH XMAS TREE Toys of All Kinds and Plenty of Eats Donated by Business Men About 950 children of the District were gathered from the various schools, Tuesday afternoon, from two to five o'clock, in the auditorium of Dunbar High School and given a pleasant time followed with gifts appropriate for boys and girls, by the Northeastern Conference of the Associated Charities. Miss Fannie Wright, as chairman of the committee of arrangements, with the ladies who assisted her, assembled a large number of things that delight and please the children. There were bags of toys, dolls, story books, banks in the form of the various animals, needle-work sets, stamping outfits, dressing doll sets, rubber stamping outfits, rubber balls, horns, horse and wagon combinations, climbing monkeys, candles, apples, oranges and 30 gallons of ice cream, to delight the palate as well as the sight of the kiddies. Mr. Benjamin Washington led the children in community singing; Mrs. Douglass supervised interesting play-games. The children were admitted by cards previously given out thru Attendance officers of the schools and Associated Charity workers. They assembled at the various schools and were carried from the schools to Dunbar in autos donated by various business and professional men of the city. The largest donor for this Christmas Cheer for the unfortunate children of the District, was Mortimer M. Harris, who gave $150 toward the purchase of the toys. The Christian Endeavor, of (Continued in Page 8) Fifty ACIAL ACCESS WITCH AMERICAN PREJUDICE ECONOMIC SLAVERY COLOR AMERIC S HANDICAPS AR'S ACTIVITIES TAKENING TO HIS Since this year will end tomorrow Sunday, a review of the trend of events as they concern colored people is worth while. The darker races of the world are more in th foreground at this time than ever before for many centuries. They are being aroused to the insincerity of the white race and are demanding recognition and opportunity to live as human beings. Racial consciousness has become world wide, and the presence of Japan and China at the Armament Conference which closed here last February; the insistence by Japan upon racial recognition; the unrest of India; the success of the Turks; the Morocco uprising; the unrest in Egypt; the Santo Domingo and Haitian affairs; the failure of the recognition of Mexico, coupled with the failure of the Liberian Loan and the lynching of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has furnished much food for the thotful colored people of America. Dissatisfaction is world wide and oppression is in the throes of forcing several revolutions in various parts of the world. Distrust and suspicion developed by the manifest un-Christian and inhuman treatment of the dominating white man, professing Christianity, is becoming more manifest. Economic Situation The economic conditions the world over have improved during this year. In the United States we are facing a come back in the industrial world and already the migration from the South by colored people is under way and it bids fair to outstrip that of 1917 and 1918 when the war activities brought a half million Negroes into the industries of the North. The present migration will present economic problems as the winter advances and the spring comes. The Southern Negro has learned by experience and thru his relatives and friends moved to the North, that he can stand the supposed rigors of the northern climate and enjoy more freedom, receive better wages, have better schools for his children and feel more secure in his home. Therefore, the inducement is strong for a change of residence. The strikes this year, particularly SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 By J. A. G. LuValle DISPRACHISEMENT ANIMALS those of the railroads and the mines, brought out the advantages and the disadvantages of the unions and their service or lack of service for the Negro. The open shop employers have given more attention to colored employees than those employing union help. This has brought to the attention of the American Federation of Labor, its narrow, prejudiced policy of excluding the Negro in many of its allied branches. The coming year holds great promise for the colored worker. Commerce and Business With 15,000,000 Negroes in this country and many of them congested into small areas of the larger cities there is presented a picture worthy of the most imaginative mind for the supplying of this nation within a nation. There are more Negroes in the United States than there are Mexicans in the whole country of Mexico. Can we compare our commercial activities with that of Mexico's? Possibly the outstanding feature of the year was the merging of the Great Southern Fire Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., with that of the Bankers Fire Insurance Company of Durham, N, C. Banks have increased from 72 in 1918 with a capital of $2,500,000, to 74 this year, with a capitalization of $6,250,000, with resources of $20,000,000 and doing an annual clearing of $100,000,000. There have been a number of failures this year in the various lines of business which bring out the fact that we are not well rounded out in this field. There are greater opportunities in every city of this country with large Negro populations for business than we are availing ourselves of. the colleges and universities known as colored schools are all crowded even beyond capacity. We have a new impetus for education and are branching out into various professions and sciences as well as commerce. Grade schools in the South are being enlarged, terms increased, and teachers are a little better paid in some states. The outstanding feature in education for the year, was the entrance of Howard University, of Washington; and Lincoln University, near Philadelphia, America Continues to be the Most Barbaric Christian Nation in the World.

Of the 3424 lynchings in America, up to last summer, the South committed 88 per cent of them. Of the 57 lynchings during the past year, all of them were committed in the South.

Mrs. Parker was introduced by Attorney Chas S. Hill, Grand Auditor, and ex D. G. M. There were more than 200 present and a beautiful scene was presented when the procession, led by Mrs. Parker entered the dining hall and filled the tables. The ladies were dressed in most beautiful gowns, gorgeous in trimmings and varied in colors and when combined with the vari coloured people, presented an exquisite bouquet. Mrs. Parker, as Most Worthy Grand Superior, is at the head of the National Household of Ruth, which covers the United States, Canada, the West Indies and Cuba, with 6,030 local households and more than 570,000 members. Serving her eighth term is truly a signal honor for Mrs. Mary A. Parker, personally, and for Washington, her home city. Marcellus Davis, District Grand Master, in a short speech, presented Mrs. Parker with ten dollars in gold. This was the first time the District Grand Lodge has ever made a presentation to the Most Worthy Grand Superior. The District Grand Household of Ruth, thru Miss E. M. Clark, its secretary, presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The Daughters of the First Brigade thru Captain E. Holt, presented Mrs. Parker with bath robe and slippers. A purse from the Rose of Sharon, Household, Mrs. Parker's own local, was presented by Mrs. Rachel Hawkins.

The record as compiled by Mr. Work finds that 57 persons were lynched in 1922, not including those killed in strikes, riots, etc. This is 7 less than the number of the year of 1921 which was 64. Thirty of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law; 13 from jails and 17 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 58 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Fourteen of these instances were in Northern States and 44 were in Southern States. In 54 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In the 4 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In ten instances, convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were secured against alleged lynchers. Of the 57 persons lynched in 1922, 51 were Negroes and 6 were whites; 19 or one-third of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape; 6 of the victims were burned to death; 4 were put to death and then their bodies burned. The charges against those burned to death were murder, 2; rape, 4. The offenses charged against the whites were: murder, 2; fighting, 1; charges not reported, 3.

History 12: Negro Peoples in the Civilization of the Prehistoric and Ancient World—the course for the Winter Quarter, will be a survey of the part played by Negro Africa and its people in the origin and distribution of the earliest civilizations of the World. An important part of the course will be the consideration of the nature and history of the various discussions and investigations, out of which the new opinions about Negro peoples are growing. This is, at the present time, the only course of its kind to be found in any of the Universities of America. The course is open to the general public, especially students working for academic credit.

Notes The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., is filling a great need, in this city, to aid our young people in uplifting and healthful entertainment. On last Friday at 3 p.m., the Girl Reserves gave a drama in our gymnasium entitled "Christmas Spirit." It was a very finely rendered affair; the drama having been written by one of our girl reserves. Friday night a very beautiful party was given by the College club. A large cheery Christmas tree was one of the main features, and the delight thes College young women found in giving pleasure to all assembled, truly exemplified the spirit of Him who came to us to fill our lives and hearts with "Peace on Earth, Good-will to men." The Hostess Club, composed of our more than forty residents, gave a lovely Christmas tree party, on Saturday night. Real fun and good fellowship resounded all through Social hall, and every girl, present, voted that our "Y" is a real home to them. A large group of our girls, augmented by Howard University students and several young men from the Y. M. C. A., went out Christmas-Eve, Carol singing. Upon their return to the "Y", hot coffee and sandiwiches were served them, and all had a jolly good time. The following members of the staff are enjoying a much needed vacation: Mrs. Calloway, Miss Armistead and Miss Harper. From 5 to 10 o'clock on New Year's evening, Open House will be kept at our "Y", and it is earnestly hoped that everybody in the city will pay us a visit. Tuesday night, January 2, Mrs. S. L. Carson will speak at Booklover's hour on "The Drama." The Carry-on club took Christmas cheer, in the form of a well filled basket, to a needy family, on Christmas Eve. Girl Reserves Christmas Party The department of Girls Work gave a Christmas Party on Friday afternoon. A large number of children gathered to enjoy the entertainment and games around the Christmas tree The Story Telling Class of little girls under 12 years of age presented a play "Why The Evergreen Trees Keep Their Leaves." Little Mavis Wormley gave a sympathetic interpretation of the role of the little bird whose wing had been broken by a careless boy who did not believe in Santa Claus. Lorelle Murray, Alma Haley and Louise Hickman portrayed the characters of the Maple, Popular and Oak Trees who would not care for the wounded bird. Beatrice Morris, Anna Haywood and Frances Plummer as the Spruce, Pine and Holly Trees who offered the bird shelter and food were rewarded by the Frost King, Richard Johnson who refused to allow North Wind—Vincent Cephas, to blow off their leaves. A further reward came to them for their kindness when Margaret Dorson as Santa Claus, led by Edith Wormley as the Spirit of Christmas chose the evergreen trees to be used for Christmas henceforth. The success of the play was also due largely to Helen Trigg, Joan Terry, Mercedes Murray and Mildred Hall who made a pretty scene as little birds who were preparing to fly away to the South. All of the children showed wonderful ability in characterization and give promise of becoming the future Junior Dramatic Club. The Girl Reserves as is their custom at Christmas time to give pleasure to others less fortunate, visited the Eighth Street Home on Sunday December, 24 and distributed candy, fruit and toys to the children. The High School Girl Reserves will entertain their boy and girl friends in an informal matinee celebration on Friday, December 29. There will be lively music and games. The Junior Dramatic Club wishes to call attention of all children and those who still delight in the fantasies of childhood to watch for The Blue Bird to be presented in motion pictures at the Republic Theatre in the near future.

COLLEGE OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY NO. 10000000 CALGARY Pun presented to Roland Hayes by King George of England, last January THE FI THE FIELD OF SPORTS Review of the Past Year in Field of Sport Needless to say the Colored Athlete of 1922 distinguished himself in all of Sportdom and this in spite of the many barriers of racial discrimination. The saying, that the sporting world knows no color line is all a myth and each year the situation becomes more appalling. Boxing. The "powers that be"tried their "darnest" to make the entire group of Colored scrappers go into retirement. Rarely were they allowed the opportunity of meeting fights of the opposite race. To Race pilots this is a cruel world indeed. Yet a few managed to prove their worth. Harry Wills looms more formidable today than a year ago as Dempsey's logical opponent. Of course Harry is getting old, but so is Demp HARRY WILLS sey. Only a few more months and we expect to see the heavyweight crown again worm by a Negro. The rise and fall of Battling Siki was perhaps the most noteworthy event of the year in the pugilistic world. One thing remains, however, and that is that Siki is still light heavyweight champion of the Hite World. Real facts about the Siki-Carpentier fight will probably never reach the American sporting world. Danny Edwards, Godfrey, Robinson and Kid Norfolk are just a few of the many good fighters of the Race. Baseball. From a local standpoint, Negro baseball is in a bad way.

And most of us are satisfied. The LeDroit Tigers were regarded as having the best team in the city last summer. The Departmental League had a successful year. The Bacharach Giants of New York and the American Giants of Chicago, were the outstanding Colored teams of the country. These teams engaged in the longest game of the year at Chicago, the American Giants winnings after 20 innings, 1 to 0. All-Stars major league teams were defeated by these two teams and on more than one occasion. Jim Scott and Bill Ryan, heroes of the world series were defeated one week after the series by the Bacharachs. Track. For years the Race has always been represented in this field with a national figure and 1922 was no exception. The winning of the senior broad jumping, hop, step and jump and junior broad jumping events by Dehart Hubbard of Cincinnati was a season feature. Ned Gourdin retained the N. A. A. U., pentathlon championship. While Earl Johnson lost the 10-mile and cross-country events he again won the 5-mile run and stamped himself as one of the greatest distance runners of all times. Scl Butler was quite active during the year. Tennis. This was a sad year to local tennis lovers. It marked the fall of Tally Holmes as national men's singles champion and the retirement of Miss Slowe as national women's singles champion. Edgar G. Brown of Indianapolis annexed the national singles and Miss Isadore Channel of Chicago the women's singles. Holmes and Smith won the men's doubles and Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Leonard both of New York the women's doubles. The mixed doubles went to Dr. William and Miss Channels both of Chicago. Local outstanding tennis players were Messrs. Holmes, Smith, Wilkerman, Perry, Murray, Beasley, Williams, Thompson, Lewis and Misses Chandler, Brooks, Hawkins and Slowe. Football Hampton was generallyly considered the champion of this section with the same honors going to Fisk in the southeast and Paul Quinn in the southwest. Many athletic associations showed financial profits for the first time. The Howard-Lincoln classic which the latter won 13-12, drew a gate of nearly $12,000 probably the highest receipts ever taken in at a colored athletic event. The local high school championship went to Armstrong. Charles West of Washington and Jefferson was the most spectacular colored football player of the year. Taylor of Northwestern was archer star while many Race gridiers flashed on northern high school elevens. Pollard, Shelburne, Shater, Robeson and many other former stars of northern college teams played professional football in the west during the past season. The Tribune's Football Honor Roll named most of the star football players of the year. m. DUN m. Sensational RIGHT PICTURE or Pushers" ALSO RJURY" THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1922 CHARLES WEST CHARLES WEST Basketball It is hoped that this winter this sport will take its rightful place in the District Sporting circles. The high school quints presented the most competitive during the season, with Dunbar the champions. Howard had no team in the field. The Y. W. C. A., under the tutelage of Miss Brooks had a classy team on the court. The Holy Name Guild, Carlisle, Alco and St. Cyprians were the strongest of the Independents. Horse Racing Colored jockeys are celdom seen on the race tracks today. There are quite a number of trainers and a few owners. Will Perkins is one of the most prosperous race track men in the country today. Perkins has under his charge one of the largest stables of thoroughbreds in the country the majority of which are his own. Golf This pastime is gradually gaining popularity among members of the race. Each year an increasing number of enthusiasts can be found on the Potomac Park links. A golf link owned by Negroes is located in New Jersey. Swimming took on a new aspect this year. Under the auspices of the Life Guards at the Howard Swimming Pool, The Tribune staged a swimming Tournament on Labor Day. The Senior event was won by E. Lewis. It is expected that more interest in this sport will be manifested during the coming year. MOREHOUSE QUINT PROSPECTS BRIGHT Atlanta, Ga., December 22—The Morehouse College basket ball season began Tuesday with prospects of a team superior to any in the past. A squad of 35 men reported to Coach Harvey. In this group are the members of the first and second varsities of last season with the lone exception of Ira DeReid who graduated and is now a successful coach and teacher at Texas College. The wealth of material includes former letter men, Captain Sykes, IBAR Sunday, Monday & WILLIAM FARNU —IN— —IN— GARDEN Next Week—Betty Blythe in "Q Bailey, Hope, Gayles and Harper, also Sledge, a regular of 1919-20, kept out for two years because of injuries received playing football. Among the new men are Bryant, Dobbs, Archer, Taylor, Hutt, Walthall and Forbes. The season opens New Year's night with the varsity opposing the local "Y". A schedule is in the making which will give the team its annual Eastern trip and possibly a journey west. Many colleges, independents and club teams will appear on the locals' schedule. Basket Ball League Organized The District Basket Ball league will officially open Wednesday night, January 3rd at Murray Casino, when the Alco Club clashes with the Catholic boys from St. Cyprians Parish. Complete arrangements have been made and the Board of Directors composed of Mr. Westmoreland, Mr. Benjamin Washington, Mr. E. B.

STAGE WHISPERS Chappelle and Stinnette appeared on a concert bill with Eddie Canton (white) and other Broadway stars at the Ambassador Theatre, New York, recently. A theatre on West Fifty Second Street, near Broadway to be devoted to colored shows is the plan of Sam Grirman and Ben Harris (white). Roland Hayes the noted tenor, who has been singing in Europe with great success is to be heard in a recital at the Lincoln Theatre in January. "Liza" now playing at Daly's Theatre, New York, former home of "Shuffle Along" is doing good business. "Jolly" John Larkins well known comedian is in Australia. Larkins was for several seasons leading comedian in Black Patti's show. He was also star in a number of other musical comedies. "Moonshine" with Billy King while playing in Canada was forced to close on account of forest fires. Sam Wilson (the black Jew) is now in vaudeville having returned from London too late to join Lew Kelly Burlesquers. "Follow Me" with a number of changes in the arrangements and in the cast played a very successful engagement at the Howard Theatre last week. They are now booked through Pennsylvania. "Shuffle Along, No. 2" is making good playing through the middle West. Jack Johnson made a statement while attending a lawsuit in Indianapolis, that he will leave shortly for Morocco, Africa to organize a Shakepearian company. He will play Othello. Jennie Dancy with "Follow Me" is a big hit, signing her Blues numbers. Contracts have been signed between Charles Cochran and Al Davis calling for a presentation of "Liza" the colored show on Broadway in London sometime during this season. Adolph Klauber, manager for Charles Gilpin, denies that Gilpin will appear as "Othello" under another manager. Gilpin, he says will, at the close of his tour probably be taken to London. He will appear in a play that is now being written for him. "Bee" Freeman, a local girl, with "Liza" is receiving good press notices for her work. "Shuffle Along" is doing the usual thing at the Olympic Theatre, Chicago, breaking all attendance records.

J. Hayden Johnson and W. O. Tay lor are temporary president and secretary respectively. Music Forum ROLAND W. HAYES TO SING HERE With the stamp of European success upon his brow and the critical approval of noted musicians and numerous foreign periodicals in his favor after an extended absence from his native soil Roland W. Hayes is coming back to renew old friendships and sing once again in the presence of his own people. Snubbed by those of both races in his own country who would decry his art, Roland Hayes sailed to distant climbs where he succeeded in making his art favorably known after several efforts, and today finds him a favorite among the elite of musician both at London where he has most successfully appeared in recitals repeatedly. He rubbed elbows with the famous Melba, Kriesler and other musical celebrities in social concourse. They accept him with open arms as one among them worthy of the Art. They praised him, feted him, applauded him, loved him. That was in London and Paris! He is returning to us for a brief sojourn after a triumphant tour. What will his American colored friends do about it then? Certainly they will pay him the tribute so richly deserved as the most eminent Negro tenor and among the greatest singers of the world today. MADAME HACKLEY'S DEMISE Gone but not forgotten! That's the national sentiment on the demise of that great vocalist and artist of the race, A. Azalia Hackley, who was the champion of Negro music and a friend to every one of talent. Truly a great woman has fallen! For some years she traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the ragged shores of Canada to the Gulf, in hamlet, village, town and city, training our folk in the art of music and presenting large, well trained choruses, always performing before capacity houses. The writer recalls her first visit and appearance upon her return from Europe while in Boston at the Charles Street Church (now removed from the old site). We sat within a few feet of her on that evening. She was gowned magnificently. With rosy cheeks and face aglow she sang with all the warmth of a world-famed diva as the melodious tones of that great organ pealed forth in accompaniment. I can hear again the rapturous applause dying away and she with a beautiful bouquet of American roses bowing and smiling in kind acknowledgement of the appreciative gathering. That was some years since. Now again, I see her surrounded by admiring friends showering congratulations following a most successful chorus rendition here in Washington some years afterward. An elapse of time. Now we receive the sad intelligence that Madam A. Azalia Hackley died in Denver, Colorado. Thousands mourn their loss throut the land today. Noble of heart, stalwart in character, refined to the core, christianly in traits. Well-bred, well trained, thorough musician, artist, pedagogue, philanthropist and racial every inch. The summons came! Sleep on, take thy well-earned rest! SANDY BURNS COMING TO HOWARD Sandy Burns, the King of funmakers and his all star company, are appearing at the Howard Theatre, the week of Jan. 1st beginning with Matinee Monday New Year's Day. For two years he played in Philadelphia at one play-house and during his entire stay at this house his audience never tired of seeing him, for he made them laugh at every performance because of his originality. The public in Philadelphia, regretted when he left for New York where he played two years to an untiring audience. The Management of Howard, is very fortunate in securing Sandy Burns for this short run.

CASTLE ON THE SCREEN Mrs. Irene Castle, famous danseuse and actress, appears again on the silver sheet in "Slim Shoulders," which comes to the Broadway Theatre Sunday for an engagement of four days. It it difficult to estimate in advance the welcome that local theatre patrons will accord this celebrated and popular artiste. Suffice to say that the Broadway Theatre will no doubt be crowded to capacity. Whenever the appears in this city Mrs. Castle has always been favored with capacity audiences, whether appearing in person or on the screen, and it is safe to assume, therefore, that "Slim Shoulders" will draw record houses at each performance.

HOMAGE TO THE COLORED HEROES WHO FELL IN THE DEFENSE OF WORLD LIBERTY It was in Mauritania, at Boutillis. Some Senegalese Tirailleurs isolated in a wady were guarding a herd of camels. They were 25 of the 13th company of the 1st regiment of Senegalese Tiralleurs, commanded by a sergeant and two corporals, altogether 28 coloured men supported by 38 Moorish auxillaries mounted on camels: the Mehariistes. Suddenly, enemy nomads to the number of 450 attacked them. Whilst the Mehariistes were running away to seek help from the neighboring post, the 28 Tirailleurs accepted the battle and without flinching, were killed to the last man. When only one remained, this one, not wishing to leave any trophy to the nomads, in which they could glory, or of which they could make use, destroyed his comrades' rifles, then when he had exhausted his ammunition, he destroyed his own rifle and bravely waited for the fatal bullet. When help arrived, all the Tirailleurs were dead, but their arms had gone with them. What could one not expect from such soldiers! General Mangin is the great creator of the coloured army. A few years before the war, heading an important mission, he had been sent to Africa with a view to studying the possibilities of recruiting and organization. When quite a young lieutenant, he had served under the command of General Archinard in the Soudan, where he was wounded for the first time and made "Knight of the Legion of Honour." In order to carry through the mission of which he was in charge, General Archinard had obtained the creation of regiments of "Tirailleurs" and "Soudanese Spahis" recruited on the spot and to which he joined auxiliary coloured troops engaged for one campaign only. These Soudanese Tirailleurs took the place of the Senegalese Tirailleurs and later on, the name of "Tirailleurs Senegalais" was given to the Tirailleurs of Senegal, Soudan and other neighboring regions. General Archinard was the first to have confidence in these fine coloured troops commanded by commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Colonial Army and ready to start a campaign against the biggest slave-dealers, Ahmadou, son of El Hadj Oumar and Samory, at a distance of more than a thousand kilometres from the coast, without even making sure of a reserve of white troops in case of misfortune. He had not to repent of this deed and it was heartily and with deep conviction of the services that such troops could render in Europe should Germany declare war some day, that when he was in command of an Army Corps of Colonial troops and then as a member of the High Council of War, he put all his experience and knowledge at the disposal of General Mangin. Nevertheless, General Mangin met with obstacles of all kinds, but at last, in 1909, he obtained the creation and organization in Algeria of two battalions called "of experience." There was not a greater number of them in 1914. In spite of all the efforts of General Mangin and of his collaborators the coloured army was not created.

DO NOT RACE USE PRIDE THE ABOVE WORD ALL "NIGGER" ELSE SANTA CLAUS JOKE ON HIMSELF By Mae Smith Johnson "Now if I were Santa Claus, I would have made this gun a bit longer," said the tin soldier as he strained to put his gun on the floor without overbalancing himself. "Now just look at that doll over there. One side of her face is rounder than the other just as if she had a toothache." "Shut up, Groucho," laughed Humpty-Dumpty, tumbling down off the wall and scrambling back again. "There are some people who wouldn't be happy in heaven," he said, as he slipped from one side to the other, trying to regain his former position on the wall. "Isn't it true," said little Bo Peep, leaning on her shepherdess crook. "Now what could be nicer; here we are all finished up since three weeks ago, and now this is Xmas Eve and we will soon be carried to some dear little girl or boy to make them happy and—." "That's just it," broke in the tin soldier, "here we have been since that old man made us, standing here—" "I haven't," said Humpty Dumpty, interrupting—"I have been falling and getting up—and falling—and getting up—and falling and—getting up," He suited the action to the word as he laughed uproariously. "You make me sick," said Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, as she leaned over and watered some flowers on the shelf below. "Goodness gracious my, latest Paris creation ruined—ruined!" screamed a lady-doll, whose hat was bedecked with the flowers that Contrary Mary was watering. "Quack-quack-quack," cried three ducks, pushing and crowding to get under the stream of water which poured from Mary's water-pot spout. "Bow-wow-wow," barked Mother Hubbard's dog. "Stop your noise," shouted Little Boy Blue, "Santa Claus will be coming soon. There—it is time now." "Whoa!" shouted Santa Claus from without. All the toys became silent as soon as they heard him outside, then peals of wild laughter, rang then peals of laughter rang out as he entered the shop. He was stamping his feet and using his hands to beat off the snow from his shoulders. "Ha-ha-ha! That is a good joke on me. I yelled 'Whoa' to my airplane, being so used to saying it to my reindeer. I just can't be up-to-date and remember that all respectable Santas use airplanes. Ha! ha! ha!" "I told you so," said the tin soldier in a voice Santa Claus could not hear. "Didn't even know how to make my gun long enough, and now he goes around yelling 'Whoa' to an airplane." And plop! he fell into Santa's sack, for Santa Claus was in a hurry and dumped them in quickly. Z-zip! And the the aeroplane leaped into the air. Cree-ee-ee-eak! they scraped against the roof as they drew up and stopped. Flip! down the chimney they jumped and—"right side up handle with care" they stood in the floor of the Xmas room. A great tree stood there, bare and stately and in a few minutes Santa Claus had dressed it. Brother Boy lay dreaming of the things he wished for, and he could see them in his sleep. He dreamed so hard that he began to walk in his sleep. He crept around in the dark until he reached the tree. Santa Claus stood in front of it, hanging on the presents as he chuckled over the joke he had on himself. "Why do you laugh?" questioned Brother Boy. Santa Claus told him. "Ha! ha! ha!" gurgled Brother Boy in great glee. "I must tell that to Tiny Baby Sister." And he ran over to her crib and awakened her. He brought her back to the fireplace near the tree. But when he turned to point to Santa Claus, that fat gentleman was not to be seen. Brother Boy ran to the window. The moonlight streamed all around him and following its path with his eye, he gazed up at the full round moon that looked like a great silver dollar many times enlarged. "S'pose I could spend it," reflected Brother Boy. "I could buy a million dollars worth of lolly pops and give them to all the boys and girls I know and lot I don't know. And then I'd—" He came out of his reverie at the sound of Santa Claus shouting "Whoa!" Than hilarious sounds of mirth split the crisp frosty air. "There," said Brother Boy, "he's forgotten again. Now wouldn't that knock the electric bulbs off an Xmas tree." And he, too, laughed so loudly that Mother Dear came running into the room. "Brother Boy, Brother Boy, you must not laugh so. You will wake up everybody in the house." "Well, it is time everybody was up anyway because Tiny Baby Sister and I have been sitting here under this tree fourteen hours waiting for somebody to wake up so we could say Merry Xmas." "Now, Brother Boy, stop telling stories. You are not under any tree—you are right here in bed. Do hurry and get dressed so you can see what Santa Claus brought you." "Well, I've got all I'm goin to get this year," said laughing Brother Boy, "and besides I am not telling stories. I see I am in bed now but I don't know how I got here. I've been up talking to Santa Claus, and he is the one who made me laugh by telling me the good joke he had on himself. He's a real sport." Brother Boy jumped into his clothes and shouted for joy when he discovered the great number of toys Santa Claus had left for him. At the breakfast table he related the joke Santa Claus had told him, but everyone laughingly tried to convince him he had had a dream. Xmas night there was a party and after all the mirth and happiness, after all the guests had gone, and Brother Boy had jumped into bed, Mother Dear was just about to come in to hear his prayers and then tuck him in, when she heard Brother Boy's voice, and she stopped on the thresh old of the room. "Only a dream—" he muttered. "Only a dream. Well, dream or not, Santa Claus told it to me, and I know it happened. Just goes to show you, some people can't appreciate a good joke, even when it is on the other fellow." PRIZE XMAS POEMS The Christmas Day was coming, The Christmas Eve drew near; The fir trees they were talking low At midnight cold and clear. And this was what the fir three said, All in the pale moonlight: "Now which of us shall chosen be To grace the holy night?" The tall trees and, the goodly trees Raised each a lofty head. In glad and secret confidence, Though not a word they said; But one, the baby of the band, Could not restrain a sigh: "You all will be approved," he said, "But oh, what chance have I?" "I am so small, so very small, No one will mark or know How thick and green my needles are, How true my branches grow. Few toys or candles could I hold, But heart and will are free, And in my heart of hearts I know I am a Christmas tree." The Christmas angel hovered near; He caught the grieving word, And laughing low he hurried forth, With love and pity stirred. He sought and found St. Nicholas, The dear old Christmas saint, And in his fatherly, kind ear Rehearsed the fir tree's plaint. Saints are powerful, we know, So it beffel that day, That, ax on shoulder, to the grove A little tree as small as she, One just to suit his mind. Oh, glad and proud the baby fir, Amidst its brethren tall, To be thus chosen and singled out, The first among them all! He stretched his fragrant branches, His little heart beat fast. He was a real Christmas tree; He had his wish at last. One large and shining apple, With cheeks of ruddy gold, Six tapers and a tiny doll, Were all that he could hold. The baby laughed, the baby crowed, To see the tapers bright: The forest baby felt the joy, And shared in the delight. And when at last the tapers died. And when the baby slept, The little fir in silent night A patient vigil kept. Though scorched and brown his needles were, He had no heart to grieve; "I have not lived in vain," he said. "Thank God for Christmas Eve." ADVENT By Janie A. Edwards Upon the Eve of Christmas Day, The earth lies chill and bare; But all expectant is the stir, That fills the Winter air. The woods yield up their evergreens And carts and drays piled high Along the country roads are seen, The Christmas trees pass by. PAGE SEVEN The streets have newly blossomed out, With colors warm and gay, Shop windows decked with fresh crisp At night The stars in clear sharp winter sky Seem pearer than before, As closer to our hearts he comes, The Christ Child we adore. CHRISTMAS DAY By a beautiful road our Christmas comes A road full twelve months long, And every mile is as warm as a smile And every hour is a song. Flower and flake and cloud and sun And the winds that rict and sigh Have their work to do ere the dreams come true, And Christmas glows the sky. To the beautiful home our Christmas comes, The home that is safe and sweet With its door ajar for the beam of the star, And its corners for love's retreat. There the mark on the wall for Golden Head Between Christmas coming and Christmas sped Is higher a bit for lo! There's time for a brain to grow. The fair white fields in silence lie Invisible angels go Over the floor that sparkles hoar With the glitter of frost and snow. And they scatter the infinite balm of heaven Wherever on earth they stay And heaven's own bliss they pour On the earth each Christmas day. 'Tis a beautiful task our Christmas brings For old and young to share With jingle of' bells and silvery swells Of music in the air. To make the sad world merry awhile And frighten sin away And to bless us all whatever befall Is the task o' Christmas Day. POETS' CORNER MOON SONG By L. R. Stephens Moon—joyous moon, summer moon— Shedding forth thy silvery light Through the dreaming Southern night Radiant moon. Moon—jubilant moon, summer moon— Sailing through the star-decked sky Thou art mated just as I, Happy moon Moon—melancholy moon, winter moon— Shedding forth thy cold grey light Through the silence of the night— January moon. Moon—pale moon, winter moon— Sailing through a starless sky, Thou art all alone as I, Pining moon. ASPIRATION By P. A. Scott To the world I am small of size, But I must procure a prize: Though slowly I creep I'll mount the great steep, For I have a mind to rise. To the world I am little known But when I have older grown, Beloved I shall be O'er land and o'er sea For the light in the way I've strewn. To the world I am weak and poor But I'll not my state deplore: I am richer in love Bestowed from above A wealth that shall e'er endure. LITTLE HINTS TO TRIBUNITES To make rubbers last longer during "sled time", buy a roll of tire tape and put a few strips of it across the toes and on the fore sole where the steering is done. Large holes may be covered in this way and made waterproof. The lining of shoes sometimes wears out or tears until the ragged edges wear out the stockings and rub the foot also. Wet the edges and smooth them down, covering them with a piece of adhesive plaster pressed down firmly. To make a cheap but useful Xmas present, make a directory to hang over your telephone as follows: Names addresses and telephone numbers of two doctors, the family physician and a substitute, the nearest fire box, the police precinct, the family pastor and the business place of all members of the family. Children and visitors are often at a loss in an emergency when the heads of the family are absent. Always keep a small fluffy bunch of cotton in your work basket, a scrap of which, twisted at the end of your wick, twisted at the end of your of the needle without splitting.

C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Sunday night will be "Watch meeting" night. Hundreds of people will assemble in the various churches of the city and watch the old year out and the new one make its advent. Thousands of people over the country will be doing the same thing. In the meantime they will be forming new resolutions for the new year. Been doing that for a long time. Suppose we change our program a little? Instead of having one night for watch meting, suppose we decide to have a national organization to keep a man in Washington, to keep watch on Congress and the various governmental departments in the interest of the race—making weekly reports. In forming our resolutions, suppose we include something on this order: I hereby resolve on this the First Day of January 1923, to cease placing all my hope on things outside of myself and look for my help and my opportunities within myself. I shall not ask anyone to play Santa Claus for me this new year, but will provide my own Santa Claus. I realize that I have been depending on the other fellow too much and too long; but from this on, I shall depend on my own efforts in cooperation with those of my brother. I shall be proud of my race, its accomplishments and its opportunities and shall work for racial cohesion and racial coporation as never before. I may get weak at times but I will try and remember that there are some friends of mine who are doing things and I will have a good heart to heart talk with them. I shall work a little more, study harder, apply myself to my work or my ambition more heartily, give more attention to the vital things that concern me, my race and its welfare. I have been used as a tool long enough. I shall make myself felt in my chosen line and be a real factor in the coordination of racial efforts. I want more of God's blessings and I am going after them. He wants me, as his child, to have the best and I shall not expect anything less. Why should I, as His child, be deprived of the wonderful blessings of this world and the other fellow enjoy them? I want mine here and now. Is Senator Borah fathering a well disguised filibuster against the Ship Subsidy Bill? Keep your resolutions day by day; and by the end of 1923 you will be stronger and happier for having won out.

The graduates of the institutions will have the same standing for post-graduate work as those coming from any other American College. This has been a banner year in the amusement field. After fifteen months in New York, "Shuffle Along" ran several months in Boston and is now in Chicago, on an indefinite run. Miller and Lyles, Sissie and Blake and Lottie Gee are the stars of this now famous attraction. "Strut Miss Lizzie" and "Liza" are making a record in New York and Chicago. Charles Gilpin is yet on the road and bringing fame to the race, in his "Emperor Jones." There have not been as many "colored pictures" turned out this year as last year but colored men and women are making their way more and more into the movies. The colored owned and operated houses have not fared so well this year. With the return of better industrial conditions there will come a better time for these houses. Bert Williams' death has been recorded this year. He reached a high place in the entertaining world and made an avid record. Madame E. Azalia Hackley, of Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia, passed into the great beyond recently. She was foremost in producing inspirational pageants and preserving "Negro Spirituals." J. A. Jackson continues with the "Billboard," and his articles and reviews are much sought. A new standard was set this year in the giving of fairs showing the progress all over the south. All of the various sports have had their day this year. An outstanding event in colored sports was the return of Miss Bessie Coleman of Chicago, from Earange, as an "faviatrix." "Battling Sikl" threw cold chills into the prize ring by not lying down as agreed in the fourth round of the now famous battle with Georges Cennetier, the idol of France Andrew Rube Foster, of Chicago, perfected his National Negro Baseball League and made some money out of it this year. He has his program for 1923 already outlined. Football went strong this year and attracted national attention. The annual game between Howard and Lincoln universities was the National feature. Tennis, golf, basketball and soccer have gained in prominence this year. Religion The meeting of the Methodist Churches in Washington last June to discuss union, altho without success, was an interesting feature in the religious world. The deaths of Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing House of that city; of Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, and the death of Rev. Dr. H. P. Parks of Philadelphia, were striking incidents in the Baptist Church. Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago was elected at the convention in St. Louis during this month. The Negro is not dominated by religion as of yore. There are several reasons for that. The ministry has not kept up with the progress of the times. There is so much hypocrisy among white supposed Christians that it has caused the Negro to make contrasts and in doing so he is losing his spiritual touch. However, much progress is noted in church building, school maintaining and increase of pastoral support. In the Political Field The politics of the world is being read and studied by the Negroes of America as never before. Lloyd George, the last of the war lords, went down in defeat this year. France, Italy, Turkey, Greece and Germany have changed their political leaders this year. Even the people of the United States left some of their "old guards" at home this fall, and the Negro had a hand in that. The fall elections and their results did more to bring the Negro into a realization of the possibilities that are his in a political way in this country than any thing that has happened since the Emancipation. A Negro Democrat was elected to the State Legislature of New York, an unheard of event. At least a dozen Negroes were elected to various offices this fall. It goes to show the possibility the Negro has of electing men of the race to office instead of "hoping" for an "appointment." A notable event in the history of the race this year was that of the dedication of the Frederick Douglass Home, "The Cedars," in Anacostia, D.C., last August by the Douglass Memorial Association. Organizations Organization is becoming more and more a factor in the life of the Negro. There are the religious, the financial, the civic; the business, the professional, the cooperative and welfare ones all striving for the progress of the race in a roundabout way. They over- lap in their efforts and some of them exist for no other purpose than to elect the officers. However, there is great possibility in proper organization for the race and the one thing that the Southern white man dreads most among Negroes is an effective organization. Mr. James Hoelges and his mother have returned home to their residence, 1230 Carrollburg St., S. W. after visiting in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Martha Frazier of Gaithersburg, Maryland is the guest of Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Gowens. veil was pleated e blossoms carried a bridal robe The matte of light of the s The leadership of our organizations must be placed in the hands of our own people. We can never reach that perfection of progress so much desired until the race is led by race men. Not a single one of these organizations is doing what it might do for the real uplift and progress of the race. Among the most prominent may be mentioned: The Universal Negro Improvement Association, headed by Marcus Garvey. The National Negro Business League, headed by an "Uncle Tom." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, headed by a white man. The National Urban League, under white direction. The Equal Rights League with a Negro president. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, headed by a colored woman who boasted of making 42 speeches for a white man against a Negro candidate for Governor of Ohio. The National Medical Association, with a colored man president. The Young Men and Young Women Christian Associations, under white supervision. The secret order fraternities, most of which are headed by colored people. The Religious Societies, some of whom are headed by white and colored people. The Geek Letter Fraternities. Finally, the year has been one of progress and race arousing consciousness. When we fully develop our racial consciousness to that of the Jew or the Irish we will be able to write a different review, with more outstanding accomplishments and with more pride of those accomplishments than we are able to do this yea. Let the people think. HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH (Continued from page 1) that of $25 in gold from the Past Most Noble Governess' Chamber, of the District, by Mrs. Belle E. Nelson, District Grand Treasurer. Mrs. Parker was touched by the many speeches of praise and the tangible gifts of loyalty and love. She said: "The fact that my home town has stood by me so loyally and nobly at all times, has been a source of inspiration in my labor of love. I have striven at all times to hold up the standard of womanhood and endeavored to do something and leave something behind as evidence of my efforts." This was the first time that the National Recorder, Mrs. De Tascano, of N. Y., has attended a banquet given in honor of the Most Worthy Superior. In her parting words, Mrs. Parker said: "Be strong and noble women, that we may hold up the standard of ur noble order." The music for the occasion was furnished by Miss Hattie C. Dandridge and a quartet of young ladies. Needy Kiddies Made Happy (Continued from page 4) the 12th Street Baptist Church sent over 75 toys, and a Mr. L. Fletcher, 2137 L Street, N. W., personally contributed a number of toys. Other contributors were the Mu-So-Lit Club, the Bolue, and 18 gallons of ice cream from three of the larges distributors of the city. Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson, general chairman of the Northern Conference of the Associated Charities, stated that more children were served this year than last and that there were presents for all of them.

One of the gala social events of the season in the nature of a subscription dance was, sponsored by The Andromeda Literary and Social Club, on Friday evening December 22nd at the Murray Casino. It is the consensus of opinion, that it was one of the swellest affairs seen around Washington for a long time. The occasion is one that will long be remembered by all who were fortunate to be the guests of the club. Messrs. William R. Hughes of New Haven, Conn, and Jas. L. Hughes of Columbus, Ohio, brothers of Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, were her guests for the holidays. They left Thursday in company with Dr. Coleman for New York, where they will spend a few days before leaving for their respective homes. Dr. Coleman will spend the New Year in New York.

Mehlinger-Muse Nuptials One of the most unique and prettiest weddings within recent years occurred on Wednesday evening, December 20, at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, when Captain Louis R. Mehlinger and Miss Gladys Mu e, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Muse, of 1503 S Street, N.W., were joined in wedlock by the Reverend Francis J. Grimke. The church, beautifully decorated with Christmas greens and poinsettas, was filled to capacity with friends of the couple who are prominent in Washington social circles. After the wedding the bridal party went immediately to the home of the bride where the reception was held. From eight until ten o'clock a host of friends passed by the receiving line and extended best wishes. The matrons of honor were Mesdames Helen Harris and Phyllis Tervell Goines. Misses Grace Williston who visited from Oberlin College, and Alma Johnson, of Baltimore, were the bride's maids. The maid of honor was Miss Mayme. C. Mehlinger, the sister of the groom. The flower girl was Miss Caroline Harris, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer. M. Harris. The best man was Mr. Lloyd Muse, eldest brother of the pride. The bride was beautifully attired in a white satin charmeuse, ankle length, with round neck, flowing sleeves and court train. The bridal veil was of tuille, fully draped in pleated effect with a wreath of orange blossoms and pearl healdress. She carried a large shower bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the valley. The matrons of honor wore gowns of light blue taffetta with picture hats of the same color; the bride's maids, yellow taffetta with picture hats to match. The maid of honor was attired in a beautiful orchid taffetta gown with a picture hat to match. All wore silver slippers and carried large bouquets of pink rose buds. The charming little flower girl was dressed in pink taffetta with a veil. The groom's mqn were Mr, James, A. Cobb, Dr. George Hrieriott, Mr. Mortimer M. Harris, and Dr. W., C. Gones. The ushers were Messrs. Morrissey S. Koence, Alexander Tureaud, of New Orleans, Willis Menard, Brooke Muse, brother of the bride, and C. Clarence Coleman, Jr., nephew of the groom. Many useful and beautiful gifts were received. Captain and Mrs. Mehlinger will be at home to their friends after January 1, at 2809 11th St., N.W. Y.M.C.A. Y. M. C. A. A very pleasing musical and literary program was rendered at the Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. Christmas morning by the men of the dormitory. The President of the Knights of the Dormitory, Mr. W. Roscoe Wilks presided. Mr. J. B. Porter, Religious Work Secretary opened the meeting with scripture reading. Beside the singing of Christmas carols, the program in part was as follows: recitations by Messrs. C. C. Jacobs and Hilyer; vocal solo by Mr. George Bowen; remarks by Mr. C. W. Broks; closing, with remarks by Mr. William Stevenson, Executive Secretary. After the meeting, upon suggestion of Mr. Stevenson, the party took an auto trip during the course of which a call was made upon Mrs. Katy Thompson, who has been ill for some time, and to whom a beautiful pot of flowers was presented. Rev. S. E. Churchstone Lord, Missionary of the A. M. E. Church of Haiti, spoke very interestingly taking the island as his subject, last Sunday. An appreciative audience heard him. Next Sunday, December 31, Hon. Perry W. Howard; Special Assistant to the Attorney General, will speak at the "Y" at 4 o'clock on the "Dyer Bill and Its Defeat." In view of the fact that much has been said concerning this bill and its defeat, what Mr. Howard shall have to say will no doubt prove to be very interesting. The public is invited, ladies included. A good program will be rendered. A Smile or Two Today By S. J. C. What this country seems to need is a few Negro politicians who wont "well out" for thirty-cents. * * * * Will Hays thinks that Arbuckle, the picture comedian, ought to be forgiven. This stand is bound to incur the wrath of the Society for the Suppression of Publicity. He proudly kised her painted lips, Just as a bit of frolic; Just as a bit of trotic; A solemn stillness haunts him now, He's ill with painters' colic "Have women souls?" asks Colonel Harvey. We refuse to be drawn into that controversy, but judging from what they expect of their husbands, they haven't got any hearts. No matter how old a joke is, we can always laugh at it provided it's augmented with a ridiculous New Year's resolution.
