Former Garvey Official Shot to Death Rioters' Case Before Supreme Court Fate of Arkansas Men Now Rests With the Land's Highest Tribunal If you want a nice couple for your vacant room, read the Classified Ad. Section of this paper. Rioter Fate of Arkansas Now Rests With Land's High The filing of briefs before the Supreme Court of the United States Tuesday afternoon, in the case of the Elaine, Arkansas, rioters, five of whom are under a death sentence, created some interest in local circles. The presentations made by Morefield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was begun at 1:30 and lasted until 4 o'clock. The State of Arkansas was represented by the Assistant Attorney of the State, who made a very poor presentation. When the Justices began asking questions he went to pieces and at one time Chief Justice Taft, laughed at his awkwardness when he replied to a question that was asked him. Mr. Storey made an able presentation of the case and showed that the trial of those men was under duress of the mob that had already killed more than 200 innocent Negroes. The final question of Justice Holmes to Mr. Storey, was significant. He asked: "You claim that the trial court of Phillips County, Arkansas, did not and could not give these men a fair trial and notwithstanding the Supreme Court of Arkansas upheld the trial court, that it was a farce and you wish us to take that into consideration?" To which Mr. Storey an- Society in Turkey to Help Negro Is Similar to Armenian Society Organized Here Angora, Jan.—(Crusader Service)—The Turkish Society for the Protection of the Negro Minority in the United States, an organization similar to the body in the United States bearing the name of the American Association for the Protection of the Armenians, today passed a resolution that the Government of the United State be requested to assign the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and the Carolinas to the Negro minority in the United States in order that "safety shall attend, the continuance in their present situation of the populations which are vexed by tears" in line with the humanitarian sentiments expressed by the representative of the American Government at Lausanne. The resolution declares that a national home should be set aside in the United States for its Negro population on the same basis and with the same guarantees as are agitated and proposed by the American Government for the Armenian population in Turkey. The resolution called attention to the blood-curdling atrocities committed by white mobs against Negroes in the United States and cites several examples of persecution and oppression of colored people, citing especially the case three years ago of a pregnant colored woman lynched by a white mob and her womb slashed open and the unborn baby crushed to death by the heels of the mob as it struck the earth following the ripping open of the woman's womb. Cases almost as horrible were cited and comparison made with the worst crimes alleged against the Huw during their invasion of France and Belgium. The Washington Tribune rs' Ca as Men With the highest Tribunal swered, "Yes." In a release sent out by the N. A. A. C. P. it is stated: In the course of the brief appealing against sentence of death imposed upon five of the Negroes, sensational charges are made involving the Courts of the State of Arkansas; newspapers; leading citizens; Rotary Club; Robert L. Kitchens Post, American Legion; and other organizations of Helena, Arkansas; all of whom are charged with having tried to railroad the Negroes to death, torture being employed to make the prisoners testify falsely, mob hysteria dominating their trial which is alleged to have taken place in less than an hour. The case arose out of an attempt by Negro farmers to organize and obtain legal redress against peonage or debt slavery under the share cropping system prevalent in Arkansas. The Negroes were accused of a "plot to massacre whites" and, according to the brief, "a large number of white men armed themselves and rushed to the scene of the trouble and to adjacent regions and began the indiscriminate hunting, shooting and killing of Negroes." "We have distinct evidence," says the brief, "that all Negroes at that time were in danger of their lives, (Continued on page 3) Clarke Speaks in New York Mr. Eugene A. Clark, Principal of the Myrtilla Miner Normal School of this city spent a few days in New York during the Xmas holidays, on invitation of the Trustees of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, to organize the colored Catholics of that city so that effective work in raising funds for the Institute may be done. Mr. Clark is one of the trustees of the Institute and from the first has hown his interest in its success by his efforts to foster any movement that will carry out the original plan of the founders—to have enough money available so that buildings can be erected by October, 1923. Durnig his stay in New York he called on the pastors of the colored Catholic churches and on explaining the plans for the Institute was assured of their hearty co-operation and to proceed to the organization of the laymen in their respective parishes for the purpose of raising funds for the school. Mr. Clark then addressed a meeting of the Knights of St. John at which, representatives from the local commanderies of the city were present. They received his message enthusiastically and immediately appointed a chairman and a committee composed of the members of the different commanderies of the city. This committee is to model the activities of the federation which they propose to form on the organization of the Federal Colored Catholics of Washington and vicinity which has been so successful in raising money for the Institute. The Federated Colored Catholics of Washington, realized one thousand dollars on the field day they held in Surburbah Gardens in September, and hope to raise a much larger fund from the carnival being given for the benefit of the Institute in Convention Hall this week. Marcus Garvey to Tour the World New York City.—Feeling chagrined over the many and continuous misrepresentations made of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the enemies of the movement, Marcus Garvey, President-General of the organization, plans a world speaking tour for the purpose of properly informing the world of the true aims of the organization. According to plans made public this week, Mr. Garvey will visit practically every important county while abroad. His itinerary calls for speeches in every principal city in America, Canada, Central and South America. He will also deliver important addresses in England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Germany. He expects to spend one month in Austria and one month in Japan. Mr. Garvey is expected to start on his tour early in February. He will be accompanied by Sir. William Ferris, editor of the Negro World; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President-General, and several secretaries and reporters. Alpha Phi Convention A Success Will Meet in Columbus Next Year. New Officers Selected St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 12—Nothing more vididly portrayed the educational progress of the American Negro than the appearance in this city of the more than 300 representatives of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity from 60 of the leading colleges and universities in the United States in attendance upon the Fraternity which was held during the days, December 27th to 31st, inclusive. The opening of the Convention was held Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, at the headquarters, Pine Street Branch Y. M. C. A., with over three hundred college men as delegates. At the Friday afternoon session, the natinoal officers of the Fraternity made their yearly reports. The national president, Simeon S. Booker reported that the Fraternity had made great progress during the year, especially in the results from the annual "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign and in the increasingly important place which the organization is taking in collegiate life. It was noted from the report of the national secretary, Normal L. McGhee that during the past year chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha have been established at the University of California, Berkeley, Calif.; the State University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa; the State College of Iowa, Ames, Iowa; the University of Denver, Denver; Harvard University, Cambridge Mass.; Springfield College, Springfield Mass.; Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.; and a graduate chapter at Indianaapolis; which added to the chapter roll 44, 36, as reported at the last Convention, makes a total chapter roll of 44 with a membership of over 2500. Of these 44 chapters, 26 were represented at this Convention.

Pending final decision of the suit, Judge Krapp, Friday sustained a motion to close the school until the case is finally settled. Suit Against Board The case is one in which James W. Leigh and Charles L. Johnson, representing the Civil Rights Protective league filed suit against the board of education to prevent the segregation of colored children in the Fulton school building. In making his decision, Judge Krapp pointed out that no hardship will be worked by keeping the school closed another week and ordered that the trial be speeded up. Arguments for the plaintiffs were made by attorneys A. N. Summers, Sully Jaymes and George W. Daniels. John M. Cole represented the school board and presented affidavits signed by L. R. Lambert, president of the school board; George E. McCord, school superintendent; William Deam, MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY WHITES IN ROSEWOOD Every Negro Home in Village Destroyed While Many Are Killed Rosewood, Fla.—As the smoke from the smouldering coals of the frame luts floats lazily on the breeze that sweeps down from the Sawance river to the Gulf of Mexico, frightened men and women emerge from the thick express swamps with wild eyes viewing the ruins of their once happy abodes, now laid in ashes. Their experiences will add another chapter to the Christian atrocities committed upon a defenseless and unprotected" people whose only sin is being "colored." As the dying embers crack in the stillness of the night, Rosewood, has taken its place alongside of Tulsa, East St. Louis and Elaine. Practically unheard of to the outside word, Rosewood came into prominence practically over night. Jessie Hunter, colored, who was serving time on the Levy county road for carrying concealed weapons, grew tired of the brutal treatment he was subjected to and made his escape. The search for him started and in order to recruit men, the usual Southern cry: "A white woman has been attacked," was brought into play. As the news spread, white men and boys began rushing to the center of the little semi-tropical village. After a sufficient number had gathered, a search was begun for Hunter, who they claimed had attacked a white girl. While approaching the home of Sylvester Carrier, colored, believed to know of Hunter's whereabouts and who aso is alleged to have spoken sympathetically of Hunter, a volley of shots rang out and several white men fell, two mortally wounded and others seriously. (Continued on page 6) school manager and Jane Lee, acting principal of the Fulton school. What Officials Claim The school officials swore that they had not attempted to make an all colored school and that no illegal transfers of children had been made from the district. Miss Lee's affidavit alleged that the operation of the school has been hindered by pickets who sought to prevent children from attending it and that threats, intimidation and personal violence had been practiced by persons incited by the plaintiffs, in order to keep the children away from school. White persons were urged not to send their children, she alleged, on the plea that it would hurt the case of the plaintiffs. The decision of Judge Krapp in closing the school was loudly acclaimed by the Citizens' Protective League. Judge Krapp was recently elected to the Common Pleas Court to succeed Judge Geiger. At the regular weekly meeting of the League last week, much enthusiasm was shown. Plans to continue the picketing of the Fulton school, should it re-open, were mapped out. The determination to carry the fight on is more evident now than over. ROLAND HAYES IN BRILLIANT RECITAL HERE ROLAND HAYES IN BRILLIANT RECITAL HERE Packed House Greets Noted Tenor.

Georgians Denounce Bombing of Syrians Marietta, Ga.—Although there have been lynchings and other flagrant violations of law in regard to Negroes in Marietta County, not a word was said in condemnation of these acts or an attempt made to apprehend the perpetrators. However, when some one recently placed a bomb under the home of a Syrian, the whole community, including citizens of Cobb county, came together in a big mass meeting and condemned the outrage. At the mass meeting which was attended by several hundred people, fervent speeches were delivered against the bombing. Prominent citizens urged the city authorities to issue a reward for the capture of the guilty parties. Judge S. H. Silby of the U. S. district court and Judge D. W. Blair of the circuit court were speakers. The Syrians were given the assurance that they would have all the privileges accorded them under the laws. Punishment of the guilty parties Punishment of the guilty parties is promised if they are caught. Interpret Constitution Two Ways All right to Disfranchise But Not to Drink Says Representative Upshaw of Georgia had his attention called very sharply to his inconsistencies this week. The crutch walker from Georgia, who is a self styled member and defender of the Ku Klux Klan, has been very loud in Congress in condemning the violations of the 18th Amendment, and has threatened to expose some high Government officials whom he claims has not been drinking as they vote. "The Chicago Tribune" in a very pertinent editorial under the caption of "The Pot Calls the Kettle Black" calls the alleged Kluxer's attention to his Doctor Jekyell and Mr. Hyde type of statesmanship. The editorial in part is as follows: "Mr. Upshaw is an earnest person on the subject of the 18th Amendment, but he may provoke some drinking congressmen into inquiring how many black citizens of the United States were permitted to vote in the district from which he was elected to Congress when he was elected. "If he got to Washington on one violation of the American Constitution, he might reconcile himself to such other violations as he observes under the big dome." Upshaw tried to answer the editorial Tuesday in the House. Replying to demands from Northern newspapers that he join in the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment in the South, Upshaw said: "The worst hat can be said of that violation is the fact that it means, and only means, that the political affairs of that section are in the hands of the intelligent white people there and will remain in their hands from now until judgment day." So disfranchising the Negro in Georgia fits well into Upshaw's interpretation of the American Constitution, but the drinking of Georgia corn liker does not.

IDENTIFIED HIS SLAYERS Accused Men Deny Charge But Say Eason Got His Dues New Orleans, Jan. 12—(Crusader Service)—Dr. J. H. Eason, preacher, and former high official of the Garvey organization, who resigned his post last summer, died in Charity Hospital from bullet wounds received as he was leaving a meeting Monday night in a church where he had denounced Marcus Garvey as a menace to the Negro Race and revealed the secret workings of the Garvey crowd. Persons who attended the meeting said three men fired the shots that killed Dr. Eason. The victim identified Fred Dyer and William Shakespeare, both painters, as his assailants and police took his last words to be used in a statement against them when they are brought to trial. Dr. Eason told the police, just before his death, the attack was the second on his life since October for his criticisms of Marcus Garvey. He said he left the Universal Negro Improvement Association because of Garvey's methods. Dyer denied knowledge of the crime but declared "Eason had it coming to him. He has attacked Garvey, who is trying to do good. Eason is a disgruntled exile from our association. He was banished. Then he began to attack Garvey, and so somebody who evidently thought he had a good reason to take a crack at Eason decided to get him. I dont blame him." Dr. Eason was 36 years old, and was a native of North Carolina. He graduated from the Theological Department of Livingstone College, at Salisbury, N. C. Dr. Eason pastored at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion and Varkick Temple in Philadelphia, Pa. He was assigned to Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church in Washington by Bishop Blackwell, but preferred to remain in Philadelphia. Dr. Eason was preparing to resume his ministerial work in either New York or Philadelphia when he was killed. The funeral services were held in the Union Baptist Church of Elizabeth, N. J., last Tuesday, the 9th. Dr. Eason is survived by three sisters, three brothers and two half brothers.

Our heroine is Bessie Snow. She prefers the parlor To a movie show. Whose yours? However, it can well be said of "Bill" Pickens, that he is the acme of tactful criticism. Miss Nannie Burroughs says, "Our race leaders would fare better if they were fairer towards each other." The same may be said of humor and the New Year's spirit. It frequently happens nowadays that egotism is the only explanation of the way some folks are prevented from recognizing their basest failures. It was one of those regular discussions in the barber shop, at Seventh and Florida Avenue, which had drifted from prize fighters to personal experiences over seas. "Tell us," said the scrawny youth to speaker pro tem, "Honest, were you cool under fire?" "Cool?" retorted the speaker, "Why I fairly shivered." As we interpret Mr. Perry Howard's complaint, he says the N. A. A. C. P., deleted his letter and "dun him wrong." But Wm. Pickens' tactful criticism took the house by storm. In view of recent occurrences in France it appears that Siki instead of bearing his cross, double-crossed his bearings. Now what this city needs isn't more expansion of the waist-band, but fewer expansions of the hat-band. If Congress would end the "spirits of unrest" we could say, "day by day in every way, this country isn't getting wetter and wetter." A Comedy in Two Acts Everything had gone well until Mabel returned the ring he had given her as they emerged from Murray Casino. "Who has taken my place, dear?" questioned the boy. "I wouldn't like to tell you," she answered. "Yes do!" he insisted. "Please give me his name and address." "No, no! I can't" said Mabel, "you may kill him." "No I won't," replied the boy.

Kappa Sigma Holds Tryouts The Kappa Sigma Debating Society held the tryout for the varsity debating team, Friday evening January 12, in Rankin Memorial Chapel. The great number of candidates for the team made competition very sharp. A strong team will be needed at Howard this year on account of her hard schedule and the schools which she has to face. There must be men with very outstanding ability in argumentation. Social Column Miss Alma Banks, teacher in the schools of Greensboro, N. C., was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Banks at 1503 R street northwest, the past week. On Sunday evening Miss Banks was entertained by her hostess and a few friends. The gathering was composed of the following; Miss A. Banks, Dr. DeWitt Barclay, Miss Ida Banks, Mr. Dewey Carr, Miss Cora Johnson, Mr. Robert E. Stuart, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, Miss Banks left the city Monday morning at 11 o'clock. Another need of the times is an elastic currency that will not only stretch from one pay day to the next but will cover all the territory. "John," said the newly-wed wife, "let me see how much money you have." "Yes, my dear" replied John obediently, "here it is: six dollars and sixteen cents." "That's right." She counted. "Now we'll divide this. Here's your sixteen cents car fare." It would seem from present indications that Congress proposes and the minoriy disposes. "An experienced wife," says a wit, "is one who can make over last winter's coat and make such a mess over it as to justify a new one." We'd rather think that's clever.

Only when my employer is listening. Mistress—You're both hired and found. This Really Happened In a U street restaurant the other day, two male guests were discussing preliminaries necessary before marriage. The elder said to the younger, "You must first furnish a home, provide yourself with a marriage license, then take your bride to see the home on the day you plan proposing." "Then——" (At this juncture the waitress interrupted) "Then what?" asked the younger man. "Then send for me; I'm a minister." Another proof that winter is here to stay, is, all the flowers have gone except the blooming idiots. Sweet young thing—My complexion is awful, what shall I do? Harry—(adoringly) Suppose you diet, dear. Sweet young thing—I hadn't tho't of that. What color do you think would match my new dress? In the second group "Claire de Lune" (Faure) and "Coeur Solitaire" (Moreau) were interpreted intelligently with an element of sympathy in his voice. "Waldeseinsamkeit" by Brahms was rendered with diction. There was elegance, taste, clearness and sincerity in this rendition which the audience enjoyed, followed by "A Dream" (Grieg). An encore number, "Passing By" by Percy (English song) was rendered and caught the fancy of the big gathering. The ear demands variety and it was manifest in the superb shading and tone color of this number. It was sweet in sentiment as well as melody.. In the third group he used "Weep No More" "O Mistress Mine" (Roger); "To Daisies" (Quilter); and, "It Was a Lover and His Lass." The latter number was enced, a Russian num- OSSE SEM JELECHEMIAE E 20 JAQ given by the soloist. Group four consisted of "Go Down Moses" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" by Burleigh; "I've got a Robe" and "Sit Down" arranged by Mr. Hayes. The latter spiritual "Sit Down," was rendered beautifully and artistically and apparently was the more striking number of the group although all were done with finish and good taste. Roland W. Hayes possesses every element of phrasing, legato, sostenu-tempo, power and tone-color. He has the manifest intelligence, poise, diction, execution, style, and production of tone. The most important item in the equipment of a singer is the ability to think a song correctly and Mr. Hayes certainly sustains that element so necessary to artistic rendition. His appearance here was another mile-stone in the progress of the race in the Arts. He was great before he left America but now he is greater on his return and all colored Americans rejoice in his success as an artist of the first rank. in Paris is one of the most brilliant which he has achieved in Europe.

PAGE THREE THE FIELD OF SPORTS What We Should Learn From the Past Football Season (Editor's Note:—A few years back it was the policy to forget football from January to September but, that t is not so now. Interest in the sport has reached such lofty peak that during the winter months it received quite as much publicity and si discussed fully as much as baseball or any other sport. The 1922 season was the greatest football year Colored colleges ever experienced. Increased attendance, intersectional clashes, improved coaching systems, close rivalry of teams are a few of the things that made the season a winner. But there are certain other fundamentals which must be improved to assure continued success of the sport in our colleges. Beginning with this issue there will appear in these columns each week a series of articles entitled "What we should learn from the past football season." All of the important phases of successful football will be treated opinion of well-known officials, coaches and writers will be secured so that each need may carry a suggestive remedy. Next week an article covering "College Schedules" will appear. Successes and failures featured football at Howard last season. From a standpoint of games won and lost the season was not a success; Hampton and Lincoln took the local's measure. Football's prime existence is not alone in the winning of games but to make those who participate physically, morally and mentally stronger and to unite into perfect harmony the alumni, students and faculty. This does not infer, however, that it is not the desire of every coach, graduate and undergraduate to beat the opponent. We merely mean that the develop ment of men gets the first call. It goes without saying that the members of the 1922 Howard squad were benefited in every way referred above and the cheering section profited equally as well only in other desired lines. Howard should take the initiative in the advancement of football in our colleges. Howard's policy is followed by a great number of institutions and when the University fails to come up to the mark the echo resounds on every campus. If a conference is needed Howard should be the medium of bringing the colleges together. The University's football policy should be founded on the knowledge of the great possibilities—and dangers as well—of the sport, aided and abetted by a schedule of sufficient strength to escape the critics' eyes, a thoroughly, well-rounded coaching staff and a program guaranteeing a better relationship with other institutions. The need of a stadium at the University is paramount. Dr. Durkee at the football banquet outlined the proposed stadium—gymnasium plan. Congress has already reported favorably the $219,000 requested for the erection of the project. Dr. Durkee further stated that in two years he expected to see the structur completed. Football at Howard will be boosted 100 per cent with the completion of the stadium. A former Howard official when asked what was needed to make athletics at the University more successful, replied, "they (students, alumni and faculty) must get closer together and work together." In other words perfect coordination of these three factors is necessary for the prosperity of football at Howard. A very important cog in football affairs at most large colleges is the graduate manager, yet he is an unheard of individual at Howard. Duties of the student football manager could be extended. The Howard-Lincoln classic was handled by all of the officials of the University. Probably no Colored athletic event has ever been conducted as skillfully as was this game. The total receipts of the game ($12,285.39) is sufficient evidence. Of this total, about $5,000 must be deducted for expenses, leaving nearly $7,000; 60 per cent of which goes to Howard and 40 per cent to Lincoln. The receipts of 1922 exceeded those of 1920 by over $2,500. Only a few hundred dollars were realized at the game in Philadelphia in 1921. Just as the classic has made an overwhelming success so can the entire football schedule be conducted with added enthusiasm. Football is no longer looked upon merely as a diversion for those who play and watch it. The vast earning power of the sport has listed it as an economic proposition. As a college advertising organ, football stands second to none. Howard should encourage every possibility of the sport with full realization, however, of the threat of professional and commercial dangers.

SPORT CHATTER The recent meeting of a group of Eastern owners of Colored baseball teams and the subsequent formation of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Teams should be of interest to Washington fans even tho no local representative was present. The following six clubs are the chartered members: Baltimore Black Sox; Brooklyn Royal Giants; New York Lincoln Giants; Philadelphia Hilldale; New Jersey Cuban Stars; and Atlantic City Backarachs. Officers have been chosen and other plans mapped out to await another meeting this month. This Association should serve to arouse local fans. Washington must be put on the Colored baseball map. The capital, the talent and support is here. Nothing else is needed but effort. Stanley Skinker, former Dunbar student and at present a Lincoln athlete, is making quite a good showing on the Lion's quint at center.

Moorehouse Quintet Wins Two Fast Games Defeated Atlanta "Y" and Clark University Atlanta, Ga.—The Morehouse College basketball team opened its season on Tuesday, January 2, with the Atlanta "Y" team as opponent before a large and enthusiastic gathering of rooters in the "Y" gymnasium. Much interest was attached to this game in as much as the "Y" team had already defeated Atlanta University, conquerors of Morris-Brown and Clark. The Morehouse varsity was without the services of E. Hope, forward and ex-captain, who was ill, but D. Hutt and L. O. Harper playing in his position showed up nicely. The passing was good but the shooting poor. On January 5th, Morehouse met the first itiner-collegiate opponent of the season. Before an audience of 800 students and fans gathered in the spacious gymnasium at Clark University, the Maroon men administered a severe set-back to Clark aspirations to the tune of 44 to 19. The score at the end of the first half was 27-10. Morehouse's second team played 15 minutes of the second half. Next Friday Morehouse meets Morris-Brown University in the "Y" gym Johnson C. Smith Univ Has Fast Team Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, N. C., formerly Biddle University, has a fine prospect for a winning basket ball team this term, having all of the varsity players of last year except Brown and Williamson. There are many aspirants in practice who are showing excellent ability and who are striving to fill these vacancies. Manager Pope has a well proposed schedule arranged for this term, and hopes that each successive game will serve to further visualize the glorious record that John C. Smith University has achieved in the past. The present schedule brings here during the month of January: Luthern College, Greensboro; Livingstone College, Salisbury. The month of February brings A. & T. College, Greensboro; Moorehouse College, Atlanta. Then J. C. S. University will visit Livingstone College, Salisbury; A. & T. College, Greensboro; and Virginia Theological Seminary, Lynchburg, Va., and also other points not yet definitely decided upon. Gladiators Swamp "Y" The Gladiators stamped themselves as one of the best fives in the basketball league by handing the "Y" quint a 34 to 13 defeat at the Casino Wednesday night.

By H. Scott freshmen eleven and previous to his injury was looked upon as a certain regular on the five. Louis L. Watson, Howard's new Director of the Department of Physical Education, took up his duties on January 1. Mr. Watson has made no announcement as yet regarding Howard's basketball program for the present saeon, but it is unlikely that the University will have a representative quint on the floor until the new gym is built. In glanicing over the 1923 football schedule of Georgetown and Catholic Universities it has been noted that three choice dates of the season at the American League park will not be filled by teams representing these institutions. October 20th and 27th and November 3rd are the open Saturdays at the park. Since the "classic" is slated for Philadelphia this year we see no reason why Howard authorities shouldn't negotiate for the above dates and give local devotees a comfortable look at a couple of games here before boarding the Pennsy for the Thanksgiving Day classic. SPORTLETS By Quentin Paul Robeson, the former football star, who is now practicing law in New York says he is seriously thinking of forsaking Blackstone and enter the prizefighting game in order to bring in the shekels more rapidly. Paul stands over six feet and weight over six hundred and twenty-four pounds; so having the physical requirements we have only to wait to see if he has the ability. If he possesses nearly as much skill in the rink as he showed on the gridiron, I would say he is in line to wear the championship crown. Panama Joe Gans defeated Andy (Kid) Palmer in a twelve round bout Saturday night in New York. In recent bouts between Danny Edwards and Joe Lyneh, Terry Martin and Pancho Villa everybody except the referee says the fight should have been called draws. As it was, Edwards and Martin were given the loser's end. Reports differ as to the winner of the ten round match between Terry Martin and Eddie Anderson (white) at Minneapolis last week, both being credited as the victor. Annual Meeting of N. A. A. C. P.

HOWARD PLAYERS TO APPEAR IN ORIGINAL PRODUCTION The Howard Players of Howard University will appear in another oroginal drama entitled "The Death Dance" to be presented on Friday evening, January 19th, in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the university campus. The author of the drama is Miss Thelma Duncan a member of the Class of 1923 of Howard. The production will be a special performance as a part of a reception to a group of visiting students from Holland, Germany, Austria, and England. The Players will thus have the exceptional opportunity of demonstrating the artistic and cultural life of the American Negro to the representatives of European culture. Accompanying this play will be the "Maker of Dreams," a pleasing fantasy by Oliphant Down. The part of Pierrot will be taken by Jennings Newsome, that of Pierrette by Grace Rose Nash, and the Manufacturer by Alfred Smith. The music will be furnished by the University Orchestra under the direction of Sergeant Dorcey Rhodes, U. S. A. STAGE WHISPERS "Shuffle Along" which was to have closed last week at the Olympic, Chicago, has had their run extended until the last of January. Some of the comedy situations in "Liza," now playing at Daly's, New York, have been rewritten by Irving Miller. Prince Christopher of Greece, and staff, who attended the "Plantation Revue;" New York, seemed very pleased with the entertainment especially the music played by Will Vodery's Orchestra. "Emperor Jones" with Charles Gilpin is doing fine in San Francisco. "The Pink Slip," Bert William's last show is to be revived by the Shubert's soon with Jimmy Hussey (white) playing Bert's old part. The "Plantation Revue" now playing at the Plantation Cabaret, Broadway, New York, will leave for London, March 1st for a ten-week's engagement. "Follow Me" with Billy Higgins and Cliff Ross are having success playing through Pennsylvania and West Virginia. San Francisco will have an all-colored show soon. Marco and Fanchon (white) will stage the production. "Shuffle Along No. 2" is creating a sensation in the Southern States playing this week in Wheeling and Huntington, W. Va., Clifton Forge, Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Petersburg, Va. The Sandy Burns Company is doing well at the Howard but the songs should be replaced with new ones. This company has a snappy chorus with good and clean costumes. Of course, as a comedian, Sandy fills all requirements. Gertrude Saunders is being featured in "Liza." It is not generally kown that Gertie is a local product. Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds are at the Lafayette Theatre, New York with an all-star bill. Roland Hayes, the noted tenor gave his first recital in this country in two years, appearing in Symphony Hall, Boston, last Sunday with great success. Chappelle and Stinnette are with a Shubert vaudeville unit show playing in Pittsburgh. THEATRE NOTES Shows Mae Murray parisian Dancer and Misunderstood Wife It is not often that motion-picture fans are given the opportunity to see the latest and most stylish costumes presented by one of the most attractive artists of the screen in a story vibrant with romance and adventure, but that is what Mae Murray's latest picture, "Peacock Alley," is. It will be shown Thur. Fri. and Sat., at the Broadway Theatre. In this Metro release for Tiffany Productions, Inc., presented by Robert Z. Leonard, Miss Murray portrays the part of a Parisian dancer, who, as the darling of the famous city of pleasure, is feted and adored for her daring and artistic creations. She falls in love with a youthful American, a small town boy, and goes back to his home only to find that the people of the little village are scandalized at his French wife. The rude awakening among the bright lights of Broadway gives this story a turn which makes it one of the most dramatic offerings of the screen. ANOTHER BIG WEEK AT THE LINCOLN Patrons of the Lincoln Theatre will have the privilege next week of sering another production directed by John M. Stahl, who made "One Clear Call" and "The Child Thou Gavest Me," two of the most popular motion pictures in recent history. It is "The Dangerous Age," and is declared to be the finest photoplay created by Mr. Stahl to date. Lewis Stone, last week's star at this theatre in "A Fool There Was" will again be seen in the title role assisted by six other stars. One of the most unusual characterizations of the year is that of Lon Chaney in "Shadows," a Preferred Picture which will begin Thursday. Chaney in this appears as Yen Sin, a Chinaman who is cast on a New England coast by a storm at sea and who later is instrumental in bringing happiness to two people who befriended him. Chaney's make-up and Oriental mannerisms in this picture will make a decided impression on the minds of movie patrons. These two should not be missed. "TEN NIGHTS IN A BARROOM" L. Case Russell Photoplay Coming to Dunbar Theatre Vote For Your Local Star In order to promote local talent we are co-ingleton's Favorite Local Star Contest" to be held Howard Thea There is no doubt that in recent times the American public has swung very markedly to motion pictures of a distinctly heart interest type. And thus an assured welcome awaits Arrow's "Ten Nights in a Barroom," which has captured the plaudits of audiences in Boston, Newark, Providence, R. I., Reading, Pa., and many other large cities in the Eastern States. There is plenty of sensation and thrill in this picture, but the story is one that goes to the heart. Times change in the motion picture field; it is found to be more and more difficult to interest the American people in costly spectacles on the screen. They mean nothing, except the more or less doubtful outlay of one million dollars. Million dollar spectacles are things of the past, if even they ever existed. Advertising of this nature no longer fools the people. What the people want are heart interest stories, of which "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is a favorable type. Like all great successes, the theme is very simple and easily understood; there is nothing obscure or complex about it; a wealthy young man goes wrong, neglects his wife and child; the child is killed in a quarrel, the young man repents, becomes a decent member of the community and with his young wife regains his lost happiness, all due to the spiritual influence of the dead child. This is the story, set in magnificently spectacular surroundings, well photographed and directed and superbly acted by John Lowell, Baby Ivy Ward and a strong cast. The picture will be shown at the Dunbar theatre on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. "THE WESTERNERS" POWERFUL DRAMA OF BLACK HILLS "All the world loves American western pictures," says Benjamin B. Hampton, the well-known producer, who specializes in large feature photo-plays. "From the days of Broncho Billy's one-reelers to the time of William S. Hart, more net profits have been made by the manufacture of "western" than have come to any other group of picture makers. American audiences love the stories of our outdoors, and English audiences like them just as well. So do the Scandinavians and the South Americans and all the folks in between." Mr. Hampton and Rex Beach produced "The Barrier," from Mr. Beach's novel. "The Barrier" photoplay made picture history the world over. Mr. Hampton's latest special production is "The Westerners," which comes to the Dunbar Theatre, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. "The Westerners" is a novel that made the fame of Stewart Edward White, now known everywhere as a novelist, a sportsman and an explorer. "The Westerners," a W. W. Hodkinson release, is the western picture in a de luxe edition. Its locale, as the thousands of readers of the novel will recall, is the Black Hills, in the days of the gold rush, when the white man broke his treaties and forced his way into Pah-sep-pah, the vahalla of the Sioux. The Custer massacre followed and the white man drove the Sioux from the Dakotas. The picture is historically correct in every detail. It is beautiful in scenic effects, swift as lightning in drama, with a charming romance and abounding in little touches of pathos and comedy. It has been produced without regard to expense, with an all-star cast, among whom are Roy Stewart, Robert McKim, Mildred Manning, and Wilfred Lucas. The director, Edward Sloman, has made a great name for himself by his able handling of this picture. FAMOUS MINSTREL COMING Probably certain people have forgotten that they are minstrel fans because it has been so long since they have had an opportunity to see a really first class minstrel aggregation—however, the minstrel microbe will get them when the Harvey Greater Minstrels make their first flashy dress parade over our main streets, announcing their appearance at Howard Theatre for seven days commencing Monday, January 15th, with matinee on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. With the Harvey Greater Minstrels are associated some fifty people all constituting the very cream of the Negro profession, and after all the Negro is the natural musician and minstrel of the human race and during the engagement here they will spring some more of their pleasing surprises. --- Vote For Your Favorite In order to promote local talent we are co-operating with "Washington's Favorite Local Star Contest" to be held at the Howard Theatre Clip the coupon on the front page of this newspaper and present it at the box office when purchasing an admission and receive ten additional votes.

Mr. and Mrs. George Smith of Madison Street are spending a few weeks with the parents of Mr. Smith in Danville, Va. What is it that Alexandria wishes? What should she have? Yes, there should be a Colored Building Loan Association in this city, for our people because it is certainly needed in many respects, without a doubt. It is not a sad and regrettable fact that there hasn't been built in this city ten new houses for our people in the past ten years? Mrs. Waterson, of N. Henry Street left the city last Saturday for Georgia to spend some time with relatives and friends. Mrs. Mary Johnson is sick at her home on S. Columbus Street. The funeral services of Mr. Urial Lucas was held from Third Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. Rev. S. B. Ross officiated. Too much praise cannot be given to Attorney A. H. Collins for his intense interest in rescuing minors, etc. in police cases. This city is quite fortunate in having such a man who champions the cause of his race without cost. He is not doing this to gain business prestige, but for the unselfish love he has for his race and humanity.

The Negro had decided to defend himself. All night the battle raged; but during the cover of darkness the colored people whose supply of ammunition had given out, and who had fought gallantly all night; made their escape into the moccasin and alligator swamps. By moring the whites had collected a mob of over 300, and just as the sun was rising above the moss covered oaks, amid the crowing of coeks and the dingle of bells attached to lazy cows, gathered in the pastures, roaring of mad flames licking their way through the dry boards of the huts where the --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE by la- to in ing. colored people lived could be heard. As those who were still hiding in their huts tried to make their escape, the whites who had completely surrounded the huts, shot them down as if they were "cotton tails" running through the brer patches. It is estimated that about 10 or 15 whit s were killed, and about 20 colored. Among the whites were C. P. Wilkinson, 45, a merchant of Sumner, a nearby town and Henry Adrews, superintendent of the Cramer Lumber Co. Several colored women were killed in the fighting. No federal or state investigation of the outrage is promised. Rosewood is a small southern village on the west coast of Florida in Levy County, near where the famous Suwanee River empties into the gulf, 40 miles south of Gainesville.

READ "The Widening Light" By Mrs. Carrie Williams Clifford This wonderful book can be had at THE VARIETY BOOK SHOP, 1102 U Street, N. W. Music Forum HACKLEY MEMORIAL CHORAL SOCIETY A suggestion, why not? A choral society would be the way to honor and commemorate that noble musician.A Azalia Hackley, whose death shocked the country, but whose work lives on, today in the public mind. A large number of local citizens were associated with her in chorus work and they loved her for the wholehearted services rendered the community, poor and wealthy alike. She was a pioneer, a missionary in such work and it should be perpetuated by those who knew and served with her. Last week we hinted the need of a new choral society in the community, Phone North 6554-w and we offer this suggestion in the hope that one may be organized at an early date. Very likely some other city may sponsor a memorial society in her name, so act now and be the first on the field. As president of the society the writer would suggest such a person as Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall; Mrs. Milton A. Francis; Rev. Charles Stewart (pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. church); Mrs. J. Milton Waldron; Attorney L. M. King; Dr. C. Sumner Wormley; Mrs. Gabriel Pelham; Miss Nannie Burroughs, or Mr. Benjamin Washington. There are others who could be mentioned. As musical director some such person as Mrs. Marie Jumper; Miss Virginia Williams; Mr. Earnest Amos; Mr. Henry L. Grant; Mr. J. Henry Lewis; Miss Joseph Wormley; Miss Lola Johnson; Miss Eva V. Johnson; Mr. Beason of Mt. Zion M. E. church Dr. C. Sumner Wormley; Miss Amy Dorsey; Miss Marie James, and others. As pianist-organist some such personage as Dr. Eva Dykes, Miss Mary Europe; Miss Celestine Lott; Miss Joshephine Muse; Miss Amy Dorsey; Mr. William Braxton; Mr. Louis Brown; Mrs. Joseph Douglas; Miss Lula Robinson; Mrs. Georgia Fraser Goins; Mr. Syphax; Mrs. J. Taylor Nickens; Mrs. Theresa Braxton-organist Ashbury church and others. This society may draw splendid talent from such choirs as Metropolitan A. M. E.; 19th Street; Third Baptist; Berean Baptist; Mt. Zion M. E.; Metropolitan Wesley; Asbury; St. Paul; St. Mary's; St. Luke's; St. Augustine; Zion Baptist; First Baptist; Lincoln Temple; Mt. Carmel; 15th Street Presbyterian; Lutheran; Peoples; Union Wesley; Amphion chorus, East Washington chorus; Shiloh Baptist; Mt. Moriah, and others. Then think of the music lovers not members of any choir who might join. Just four voices from each would make a minimum of not less than one hundred and seventy-five voices to start with and others would bring the total to not less than two hundred voices. This august chorus could be subdivided into smaller groupings such as a male and female chorus, male and female quartet, a sextet and minor choral groups of selected voices, each with an independent director and pianist, making the character of the general chorus varied and more interesting. They could hold meetings at either Dunbar, Miner Normal, Cleveland-Phelps centers, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., or some church. We are open minded on the subject, and would be glad indeed to have an expression, pro or con, from our citizenry as weare only offering a suggestion, feeling that it is a start in the right direction. Why not let us hear from you at once that we may be able to guage public sentiment in the matter? Why not get behind such a project for the public good at least. Most every person likes music of some kind and this chorus would augment the music spirit along all lines. One particular reason we admire the Amphibians is because they remain intact regardless of conditions. They are thoroughly organized and rightly so. The Afro-American Singers and the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, have come and gone, largely, I might say, to "mismanagement" or "knockers" possibly. Anyway, they did not remain intact. We have only the Amphions as a regular musical organization for public service still existing. Berhaps there are other smaller music groups but they have not attained general prominence. Imagine the joy and happiness of a great and good choral society. Imagine the good they could do in molding good citizens and in aiding worthy charities here and there. Imagine the vast musical stimulus to be derived from its inception among music lovers, students, teachers, and choirs. Organize now and let us have quality music along superior lines, such that would be a credit to our race in general and to Washington in particular. Let us have expressions! What say you, Prof. Kelly Miller; Prof. Garnet Wilkinson; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton; Mrs. Coralie Cook; Rev. Walter H. Brooks; Dr. J. Hayden Johnson; Prof. Eugene Clarke; The Washington Sentinel; The Washington Eagle; etc. What think you, kind public, and other persons mentioned in this article? As Washington is considered the Negro educational center of America—let us make a step in the direction which may place our city at the head of American musical centers. Letters to the Editor Please print this letter in your most valuable paper of this week, as I am sure it will be a great help to the many colored friends who wish to have good hair. I have suffered from dandruff for years and my hair would not grow: nothing would grow it. About eight months ago I ordered one thing else, be sure it is the Old East Hair Pomade Company, and used the ful treatment, and my hair is growing fine. I have ordered 61 and shall continue to order until it has grown to perfection. Its really the best treatment on the market for the hair. If you really want good hair you use an Old East Indian Hair Treatment; don't use anythin gelse, be sure it is the Old East Indian Treatment. You get it at any druggist for $1.85.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (To read a book without reading the introduction or the preface is like eating food without salt and pepper; hence to fully appreciate this book and understand the purposes which the author had in view in writing it, one must carefully read the preface which is published this week. Mr. Cromwell's Introduction will follow next week. We sincerely hope that you who have been reading books without first reading the preface, introduction or foreword will form the habit of doing so. You who skip over unfamiliar words, will find it a very profitable habit to refer to your dictionary when reading. In this study many unfamiliar terms are used which you should understand in order to better appreciate the book. It is good to read books, it is better to read and understand good books. Editor's Note.) Introduction by John Wesley Cromwell, A. M., Secretary of the American Negro Academy and author of "The Negro in American History." "Black Folk in Art" suggests at once a study, a field of investigation and interpretation, unique and of absorbing interest. Whether in an objective or in a subjective sense its appeal is not controversial but is mainly addressed to the sensibilities of taste and beauty. As a theme, it is an evolution rather than one primarily for elaboration or analysis, for observation or for generalization. "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture" became a subject for contemplation with the author only after beauties from the general viewpoint of Black Folk in Art had for many years encased many of his leisure moments. During this time he was widely known as newspaper correspondent and editor, and as a contributor to several magazines. In the pursuit of his art studies in the realm of the Christ Child in art, there were incidentally brought to his attention, in pictures and in book illustrations, certain portrayals of the Biblical event known is the "Adoration of the Magi," from which portrayals there were omissions of proper representation of the darker races. These omissions excited his protest, which protest was first set forth in magazine articles, and later in illustrated lectures. Gradually the field was broadened until his articles and lectures covered more or less completely the whole range of the portrayal of Black Folk in Art. The next step was the desire to put into permanent form the results of his observations and inquiries, supplemented by his own opinions on such phases of the subject as seemed appropriate. In short, he resolved to attempt the publication of a series of monographs under the general title, "Black Folk in Art." The present monograph, "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture," is the first fruit of that resolve. So far as the undersigned is aware there has been no similar literary venture in this particular field; yet one would hesitate to present the results of even so unique a study to a public already overburdened with an abundance of literary material of one sort and another in the absence of an unmistakable demand. But Mr. Murray has made the attempt, and has done the work with such ability as to render a conspicuous public service, Judging from this initial success, the succeeding works of this series will be anticipated with increasing interest. Every Tribunite is requested to send in his or her name, address, age, and birthday. The Saturday preceding your birth date, mention will be made of the fact on the Page. A pretty birthday card will be sent to you by the Editor on your birthday. If you see your friends' names listed in the birthday list, remember them and send them a pretty card. Forward your names at once. Address, Birthday Club, The Washington Tribune, 920 You St., N. W., Washington, D. C. What is a "nigger" anyhow? INTRODUCTION BIRTHDAY CLUB In the investigation of his subject, Mr. Murray was brought into correspondence with artists both of this country and of Europe, and also with men and women whose personal acquaintance with artists (some of them no longer living) enabled these persons to give the key to the interpretation that the individual viewpoint of the artist and the environment supplied. By pursuing this plan of ascertaining the facts relative to the subject of his interest, along with the usual methods of reading and investigating, he acquired a comprehensive knowledge of art and art values and their subtle relations. His studies along these lines eventually made him an art critic. Step by step he was led onward until he had made not only a survey of whatsoever embraced the Freed in American sculpture, but as well, an exhaustive and intensive study. The works of art covered by this survey were produced in the period extending from the days of Emancipation, thru Reconstruction, to the threshold of the second decade of the present century—almost two generations. The undersigned, having been privileged with the opportunity of reading the advanced sheets and having been consulted by the author at different stages in the progress of his work, has no hesitation in declaring that the wide range of the investigations pursued, the patient and exhaustive researches, the expert knowledge, the critical judgment, and the marked literary ability displayed by the author, are so unusual as to entitle him to distinction. The author does more than give interpretations and express artistic judgments; he often goes far afield to anticipate and answer inquiries, respecting many of the topics treated in the body of his monograph. These are discussed in detail and in such an entertaining manner in the Notes that they constitute a distinct characteristic of the book, furnishing sidelights as illuminating as are the abundant illustrations which adorn the body of the text. From what has been stated the conclusion is inevitable that Mr. Murray has presented a study which will compel perusal from cover to cover and ensure for the book a very wide reading. Independent and apart from his description and interpretation of what is worth while of Black Folk in American Sculpture, his obiter dicit injected here and there throughout the monograph, form another excellent feature which must evoke admiration and enthusiasm. One may not see the artistic technique in the sculpture nor go into ecstasies over the illustrations, but he can not fail to recognize the grandeur of the thoughts which technique and illustrations inspire. In them there is more than pure intellect; there is warmth of feeling, depth of soul, profundity of thought: these attributes charm, attract, elevate. The topical arrangement to which the author has resorted in the presentation of his subject makes gradations from the beginning to the end of the book easy and graceful, while the half-tone illustrations—many of them first published in this work,—the Appendix, the copious and illuminating Notes, already referred to, and the Index will facilitate the appreciation of "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture" as a most worthy contribution to the literature of "Black Folk in Art." JOHN W. CROMWELL (Continued next week) TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Aspire Don't be a rowdy. Don't be a cake-eater. "Tis just a step between the two." HOMAGE TO THE COLORED HEROES WHO FELL IN THE DEFENSE OF WORLD LIBERTY (Continued from last week) (Editor's Note: This is part of a notable document which was authorized by the French government, April 2nd, 1921.) We hold the following fact from an officer: "On the 8th of May, 1915, we were at Gallipoli. . . . We had landed the day before on that flat, wild and bare coast, shelled by the Turkish artillery. The expeditionary corps was commanded by General Hamilton. . . Order was given to storm the Turkish trenches. The line of Tirailleurs rushed ahead. From the beginning of action, a sergeant and a bugler of the Senegalese Tirailleurs charged fiercely and going ahead, they reached the general line of besiegers. Alone, at a distance of fifty metres in front, they were howling and gesticulating between the enemy and ourselves. The sergeant was flourishing his rifle, the bugler blowing the charge; it was splendid! During three quarters of an hour I beheld them still ahead, leading the column. But this could not last long. Soon they fell, unknown and sublime dark heroes!" The press was reporting every day the deeds of the Senegalese. It was a fact that decidedly these adopted brothers had understood that to help save our liberty would save their own, freeing them from a slavery which was altogether threatening them and us. And as Major Guignard said: "The strong peasants of Africa joining their brothers the peasants of France in clinging to the 'holy glebe' came with enthusiasm to help the Motherland in danger." The deeds of the coloured Tirailleurs multiplied. An officer related this feat which he witnessed: "In June, 1918, at the battle of Rheims, on the outskirts of the town, I was in command of a company of Senegalese Tirailleurs. My men were grouped in normal order. Ahead of the front of trenches where I stood, several Tirailleurs were posted, sentries in shellholes. As the heat was terrific, the dark men had taken off nearly all their clothes. Suddenly from the enemy entrench, a whole battalion sprang up. It was an attack and a severe one. We were preparing to fight when I saw four of my Senegalese springing out from one of the holes in front of us. They were bare down to the belt, the chest only crossed by their braces. Howling and gesticulating furiously, they charged the enemy. At the sight of these four dark mad men, looking like bloodthirsty geniuses of war, the whole enemy battalion was surprised, disbanded, and retreated to his trenches. These four heroes of the Ivory Coast, back home in their African village, may be proud today of having dispersed a thousand Germans." The dark men proved their valour at the two Battles of the Marne, on the Yser, in Champagne, at the Dardanelles, Chemin des Dames, Verdun, Rheims, on the Aisne, in fact on all the most dangerous points where defence was most brilliant. France is not ungrateful. She does not forget the brave deeds of the dark men by the side of their comrades the "Pollus." She shows her feelings of sympathy and her gratitude to the coloured troops stationed in France by spreading their popularity. Sports and displays were organised at Frejus, Toulon and Paris, where African villages were seen, showing the French the aspects of life in the "Savane" and in the wilderness. Thought diminishes the wide spaces that stand between the white and dark brothers. Moreover the Motherland uniting in her heart the children who fought for her sake, wishes to commemorate in a concrete way this brotherly alliance, its struggles and its successes. A beautiful monument, the work of the sculptor Paul Moreau-Vauthier and A. Bluysen, architect, will be erected at Bamako in the centre of the old Soudan in the wide African land, and a replica of this monument will also stand on the French front, there where the dark and the white fought side by side for the defence of liberty. There one will see the French officer bearing the flag and surrounded by the dark men rallied to fight with him.* Then in Europe and Africa, every one will know that Victory has been the golden and glorious fruit born of the feeling of devotion and mutual fidelity expressed by the dark man assuring his chief that he confides in him as a protector and guide: "Thou art my Father! Thou art my Mother!" The good, well united in order and in fraternity as one family, will al- LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: I am very much interested in the "Children's Page" of the Washington Tribune, but I have been neglectful and would not write. I am just sending a few lines for the Page which I hope will not land in the trash basket. .... "Every day in every way I am growing better and better." Say it. Believe it and it will improve our racial pride. CLARISSA BAKER. (Age ?) Dear Editor: It seems as though the Tribunites are failing to write interesting letters to the Page.

I like articles like the one now running under the title of "Homage to the Colored Heroes Who Fell in the Defense of World Liberty." I hope I will like "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture." "Santa Claus" Joke on Himself" was fine. WALTER R. SUMMERS (Age 16) A LOST CHILD By Anna Watson, Age 12 One day, little May, who was three years of age, followed her brother to school. It was near Christmas time so the windows were very pretty. As they passed a window that had a Santa Claus in it, the little girl stopped to look at him. After she had satisfied herself looking at him she turned to her brother. Her brother did not know she was behind him and he had walked on. When she did not see him she began to cry. Kind people asked her her mother's name, the reply was, "Mama." As they were trying to comfort her, one of them spied a ribbon, with a card on it, around her neck. Looking at the card they saw an address on it. They were sure that it was her address, and one of the ladies that was in the crowd, said that she was going that way, and took the child home. ways triumph over the hatred and violence of the wicked. *In memory of Dixmude, the King of Belgium sent a generous subscription for the monument.
