National Educational Conference Proves To Be A Sad Disappointment Dr. Spivey Cleans Out His Office If you want a nice couple for your vacant room, read the Classified Ad. Section of this paper. Dr. S ALL FIXTURES REMOVED LAST FRIDAY NIGHT However Whereabouts Of Dentist Is Still a Mystery The whereabouts of Dr. H. P. Spivey who, as reported in last week's paper was in hiding, is still a mystery. The furniture and dental fixtures in Dr. Spivey's office at 801 Florida Ave., were secretly moved some time last Friday night. The office was literally Dr. HENRY P. SPIVEY cleaned out. Who took the furniture and when no one seems to know. In addition to Dr. Spivey's absence, Miss Mabel Thomas who was named in Mrs. Spivey's divorce suit as correspondent, is also on the missing list. In-as-much as both of them are missing it is believed that they evidently are together. Miss Mabel Thomas is the daughter of Mrs. Clara E. Thomas of 325 Oakdale St., N. W. Miss Thomas is a graduate of the college department of Howard University and is a former teacher in the Richmond, Va., high schools. She is well known in Washington and it is alleged that this is not the first trouble of this kind she has figured in. A search is now being made to locate Dr. Spivey by Attorney James A. Cobb, who is Mrs. Spivey's attorney. Dr. Spivey's pay check at Howard University where he taught is now being held up by Attorney Cobb. Many patients are also joining the search for the doctor. He left many unfinished jobs behind him in his hurried flight. Mrs. Spivey is remaining quiet at her sister's home on Sherman Ave., N.W. Her attorney is determined to bring Dr. Spivey before the court in the District. Dr. Spivey's many friends here are at a complete loss to understand his latest action in leaving the city or going into hiding. The doctor disappeared about the 15th of the month after defaulting in his payment of alimony. Last November he left his wife nad started divorce proceedings in Alexandria, Va. on the grounds of desertion. His wife filed divorce proceedings against him in the District courts on January 23, of this year on statutory grounds. After his wife's action, he agreed, out of court, to pay her $80 a month alimony. He paid the first installment of $40 on February 1st, but defaulted in the second payment. The Washington Tribune Spivey Georgia C PRUDENTIAL BANK The Prudential Saving Bank received a certificate authorizing the bank to do business in the District of Columbia. The certificate was issued by the comp-troller of currency this week. The Prudential is the first bank to qualify under the law governing the operation of banks in the District.

Big Baseball Title Contest In Full Swing Season Pass To Be Given Away to the Lucky Person Person How would you like to have a free pass to all the baseball games to be played here this season by Washington's new Negro club? There are lots of people who would like to have such a pass. In fact there are so many baseball fans who desire passes until the management of the club has decided that it could not give all of them passes, but, that they would give away absolutely free, ONE season's pass. Now then, the big question is, "Who is going to be the lucky person to get this pass?" In order to make it fair and give everybody an even chance to win the pass, it was decided to give it to the fan who suggests the most appropriate name for the new club. In baseball all clubs must have a name and as Washington intends to have a real club this season, (in fact the like of which has never before been seen here), the team must have a snappy name. Just think how easy it is for some people to name babies and horses—and it is even easier for ball fans to name a baseball team. The big contest started last week. Everybody is entitled to send in two names. Prepare now to attend those good games this summer and think of how much better you can enjoy them when you don't have to pay. Don't fail to send in a name! Who knows that you may win. The very name you may think little of may win you the big prize, so send in a name, no matter what it is. The local papers are cooperating with the management of the newly organized baseball club in assisting them to find a suitable name for the team, and these papers guarantee the fairness of the contest. As said before, each person is entitled to send in two names. Write your suggestions on a piece of paper or use the coupon on the sport page of this paper rand mail or bring your names to the— "Title Contest Editor." The big contest will close Tuesday, March 20th, at 6 p. m. However, don't delay, send in your title at once as all titles will be considered in the order in which they are received. In case two or more persons send in the winning title, the first one received will win the coveted prizé. As there is but one prize to be won, it behooves every fan to get busy at once. The contest is open to men, women and children alike. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 REP. LANKFORD AGAIN TACKLES RACE QUESTION REP. LANKFORD AGAIN TACKLES RACE QUESTION Tribune and Negroes of Washington Draw Ire of Southerner Amid the scenes of a dying Congress, when leaders on both sides of the House were busy trying to push through needed legislation and "Lame Ducks" were singing the "Swan Song," Representative William C. Lankford or the 11th District of Georgia, who recently came into prominence by attacking the Negro of Washington and The Tribune, halted the wheels of Congress just before the close, long enough to make another one of his typical attacks on what he termed the "awful Negroes of Washington." The Georgetown started out to talk on the reckless automobile driving, but before he was on the floor ten seconds, his real purpose was disclosed. Part of the speech he delivered follows: "I hope that the authorities of this city will do all that is possible to enforce the laws here, so that the people who come here will not only say that Washington is a city beautiful but they will say it is a safe city. (Applause.)" "People visiting here go away saying; the city is beautiful in the extreme but there is such a disrgeard for law, such an absolute disregard for life by people using automobiles, such a desecration of the Sabbath, and the Negroes are something awful. "Washington ought to be not only beautiful but decent. This city ought to be a model of law enforcement, instead of a city awful. Time is too limited to speak fully on these matters now. I hope to do so later. There is a slight improvement in enforcing laws against the would-be murderers at steering wheels of automobiles. I hope the courts will some day go the limit in favor of innocent people against the speed maniacs. Let the people plead for law enforcement and race segregation, and we may hope for a city beautiful and a city decent. I have pleaded and still plead for equal but separate accommodations for the races as being best for both. I do not mean to nag at anyone about this proposition, but I honestly believe that with race segregation the two races can live here on better terms. The South is right about the race question. I have never seen a white person from the North go South and get thoroughly familiar with the situation there who did not become fully convinced that the South is absolutely right about the race question and the North is absolutely wrong. William J. Bryan is the latest noted convert on this subject. I have never known of a white southerner who came North and decided that the South was wrong about segregation of the races; in fact they become more convinced than ever that the North is wrong on the question of segregation. The northern negro is afraid that he will in some way admit the supremacy of the white race. I truly believe in the supremacy of the white race. I believe the white race gave us the greatest possible form of government. No other race could have added to it. This government of the white man was not helped when the negro began voting. He will not make it better in the future. I wish (Continued on page 2) WHAT LANKFORD HAS DONE IN THE 67th CONGRESS Introduced bill to donate captured cannons to certain cities in Georgia; Bill to increase pension of Wm. H.

Tate, has built a growing and prosperous grocery business at 2437 Nicholas Avenue, Southeast Wednesday, the 7th, marked the first anniversary for Mr. Tate's adventure into the grocery business. He said that he did a larger business for the first year than he expected. "I expected a spasmatic patronage," said Mr. Tate when asked how WALTER P. TATE his business had been for the first year; "but the people have given me regular and continued support and proved to me that there is great possibility of racial cooperation. My experience tells me that our people will patronize one another when the business man keeps in stock what they want, and at the right price." Mr. Tate carries a good line of groceries, fresh meats, vegetables and fruits. The quality of his goods, the dependable service and the effort to really serve the people has increased his patronage to put on a delivery truck. Regarding the placing of the delivery truck, Mr. Tate said: "My trade has increased twenty-five per cent since I put on my truck. We are serving customers over in Washington as far as T Street northwest. Keeping what the people want and getting it to them is the big problem of the grocer. We are trying to eliminate that problem. (Continued on page 5) BUSINESS MEN'S CARNIVAL TO BE COLORFUL AFFAIR Community Centers Band to Furnish Music for Both Nights The Business Men's Carnival which will be held at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M Street, Northwest, next Monday and Tuesday, March 12th and 13th, will be one of the biggest events of its kind ever held in Washington. An exceptionally good program will be rendered on both nights. A number of prominent business men and women will appear on the program each night. A feature of the carnival will be the serving of free refreshments both nights. A popular attraction will be the concerts by the Community Centers Band in the personal direction of Proof J. A. Miller. This band is represented as one of the best in the country. The band will render special music. In addition to the band, the program will be made up of some of the best known business men in the city. A different program will be rendered each night. The object of the carnival is to stimulate more interest in Negro business. The movement has the backing of practically the entire body of business men. There will be no admission charges at all. The public is cordially invited to attend. School Board Meets Superintendent Ballou, presented his program for school buildings in the District, at the meeting of the Board of Education Wednesday. The plans call for a new McKinley High School for the white students and the turning over of the present McKinley building at 7th and Rhode Island Ave., northwest, to the colored students for a junoir high school. In doing this, Shaw Junior High, would be transferred from the old M Street building at M Street and New York Avenue, northwest, to the McKinley building, and the business practice department of Dunbar High would be transferred in to the present Shaw Junior building. This program would greatly relieve the congestion at Dunbar High, where they have more than 1600 pupils in a building erected to accommodate 1200 pupils. Provisions are being made at Armstrong for an additional building. The Board reported that 8965 square feet, of ground had been purchased and that the Commissioners were securing ground as fast as they could for the new building. Wm. L. Houston asked that the Board "definitely decide to open a Junior High School in the 10th dvision this coming September." The Board is planning to open four junior high schools for rwhite pupils and Mr. Houston wants one to relieve Shaw this fall. The Superintendent announced that they would have a junior high school for 10th to 13th divisions, located in the vicinity of 20th and K Streets, Northwest, ready to enter September 1925. The white citizens of the Bunker Hill school section are petitioning the Board to transfer that school from the colored students to white pupils. The colored citizens of the section also protest this transfer. No action was taken on this matter. Office: 920 U St., N. W.

PRICE 5 CENTS Office Washington EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS A FAILURE Many Leave for Home After Finding No Educators In Attendance To hold the job of messenger in the office of the secretary of the Congressional Library and be the president of The Negro National Educational Congress which met in Washington Monday the 5th, is to occupy diverging positions to say the least. Such, however, is the case with Silas J. Harris, president of the congress mentioned. Mr. Harris calls this the "twenty-fifth annual convention" of his congress. He used a unique method of getting in January he sent out a letter to the governors of the respective states of the union galleries. in Washington and asked even Governor to appoint a number of delegates from his state to represent it at this convention. The Governors fell for this and appointed Negroes, three is some states to twenty-four in others, as in Ohio. However, those appointed did not think as well of the proposition as the Governors for only forty-eight registered up to noon Thursday. They began asking themselves the questions of "Who is this man Harris?" "When and where has this 'Educational Congress' been meeting?" Where are the prominent educators of the country, we do not see their names in connection with this 'Convention.'" Hence most all of them remained at home. Those who came were very much disappointed. At the opening session Monday there were only twenty-seven persons in the building. There were no prorgorams present and apparently no heads or tails to this great "Negro National Educational Congress." Everyone was asking who is this man Harris? Where is he from? What does he do? Well, it seems that the president of an Educational organization of twenty-five years standing should be known by some of the delegates. J. Silas Harris, the president is known in Washington as "Senator Spencer's colored man." He has an assignment as "messenger in the office of the secretary of the Congressional Library." No one around there knows very much about him for he has not worked at his job in so long that none of the peopel in the office can tell you just when he did work. He draws his pay check just the same. He is from Missouri and is known out there as an "Uncle Tom" politician. The whole convention smacks of politics. Harris said at the beginning that he wanted the delegates to be careful in their utterances and not criticise too severely. Put the soft pedal on and do not bear down too hard on the white folks. day and work inns and patroling with the work halls, the halls and the thea-loiter-general dance is in-irrating various A letter from President Harding was read the first day. The President said that his own attitude toward the problem of the race in this country was so fully set forth in his address at Birmingham over a year ago that he can hardly add anything to that statement of it." President Harris of the Educational Congress considered that a great letter. He also had Simon D. Fess to appear on one of the programs and Senator Spencer on another.

LANKFORD AGAIN TACKLES: RAGE QUESTION (Continued: from page: 1) to refér irr this connection’ to: one sug- gestion made by a colored paper re- cently. “The Washington Tribune in its last ‘issue mentioned my remarks of the 19th of last: month and still opposes ‘segregation of the races- This paper, though, is right about my belief. It says that I believe “that when this planet- was created the Almighty per- sonally turned it over to the whites.” “Here-is what I said in Congress on January 18, 1922: “He (the Almighty) took the dust of the earth and molded in into His ‘own image, into the form of’ ay man, and breathed into its nostrils His own creative, everlasting, immortal breath; and the image came forth a human being,a-living soul, all domi- neting, all conquering, everlasting, eternal, immortal” part of God Him- self; a Caueasian,a white man; and God gave that first white man domin- ion over-all things and told him to reach’ to the bottom of the sea and ‘meta the highest: skies and” under- {hd Rnow the mysteries: of all time and space, and that first: man, a white many went’ forth to solve, un- derstand, conquer, and know the uni- vse iy which he had been placed. And that first white man from that day to this has been the all-powerful allcontrolling, all-dominating man of the world: He has conquered: the depths of the sea; he has flown like a bird through:the very gates of the skies; he has whispered around: the world in the twilight of a new era; he has- weighed the moon, the earth, and the sun; he'is solving the knowing and bringing under his subjection and dominion all the mysteries of life, of space, and of all the universe of God, and as time goes by he is learning to think, understand, and know: the thoughts of the Almgihty. God of the skies, “Commissioned by the Great Crea- tor, he is the governing power of the world and is gradually: shaping the nations of this earth into the highest and best forms of’ government, and is the ruler and the supreme power of sll other races, whether the yellow, the red, or the black. He-is the all- powerful, all-dominating man of the world. He always: has: been and al- ways will be to the end of time. “Forces of nature may oppose him, but he overcomes them. Other peoples aces, and colors of humanity may: te- sist him, but of no avail; he marches onward, conquering, and’ holding” his God-given supremacy: “White supremacy is not oppressive tyrannical supremaey, but is. compas. sionate, God-like supremaey exercised for the good of our Nation, the happi- ness of the human race, and:the eivili- zation of the world. (Applause).” ‘The above remarks: of Lankford are a good index to his intelligence. Born jand educated in Georiga-under the in- fluence of a slave holding and kl Klux ridden community, his lack of knowledge of the world’s:history and lits earliest people is somewhat ex- ‘plained. His statement that “He (the Almighty) took the dust of the earth and molded it into His own image into the form of a man and breathe¢ into. its: nostrils. His own’ creative everlasting, immortal berath; and th |image came forth a human being, ¢ living soul, all dominating, all con: quering, everlasting, eternal, immor tala part of God Himself, a Caucas iana white man;” is both amusing because of its humour, and pathetic ‘because he (Lankford) actually. be \lieves. such a ridiculous and prepos |terous. thing, re | In this connection, since Mr Lank ford is up on the Creative history: 0 SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 A et Se a ease Det rn er me |to.ask the Georgian these questions: | If God created this, white man ou! lof the dust of the earth and gavi him such broad powers over the earth |how didi the black, brown, red an¢ yellow men come into existenee? Dic this-God who created the white: mar ‘make them, and’ if so, out of what? |Absthe: black, brown, red.and yellow | people’s-physieal composure is exaetly like the white; did not God have a hand in their making? If this second question is-true then why did the-Al- mighty. give: the whlte man any, more power than he gave the others? If the wise, Georgian would clear up these points perhaps we could tole- rate his arrogance a little more. The truth of the: matter”is,, facts mean nothing to: Southerners’ of his type. They are-so used to-disregard- ing faets) espeeially when they per- tain to Negroes, that it has become a second nature to them. This type of Southerners would defy the laws if they thought a Negro had anything to do with the making of them. We would like to know Mr. Lank- ford’s authority for his statement that the white man: has- received a com- mission from the Great Creators. we would also like t> know his authority for the statement. that God's creation was.a white man (Caucasian). Pérhaps. the Georgian, has done a lot of research on this subpect and has-diseovered some authorities none of the: great’ anthropologists: have as yet seen. : ‘The Aryan: race is- often cited in the world-wide propaganda employed by; the Caucasians; we would: like to know if Lankfort or any Caucasian can point:with hisiovieal or genealogi- cal accuracy to a genuine Aryan?

Cobb vice-dean of the school of law spoke to the freshmen of the college department on the subject "The Nature and Obligation of a Contract." The lecture was full of helpful information and a guide to the students in their college and after lives. The Year Book The Class of '28 now have plans under way for their "Year Book." This year the class wishes to compile a book excelling others in previous years. It is thought that the collegiate and professional schools will come under the same cover this year. It is probable that the Senior Medical Class will compile their own book. The class editor, Mr. Henry Lee Moon promises to put over an attractive and lively book. The Glee Club The University Glee Club under the direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs is now in perfect shape after months of prac- In an open letter to the colored students of America, Mr. I. J. K. Wells, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the American Federation of Negro Students, calls on all students who are interested in helping the race, to meet in Washington, April 6th and 7th to assist in drafting a practical program which will make possible the realization of many things the race is now striving for. Mr. Wells' appeal is as follows: Lincoln University, Pa., Feb. 23, '23 Fellow Students: In addition to inconveniences which you must bear from birth, events which vitally bear you are happening here in great America each day. Are you wide awake and aware of their vital significance to you? You are in school to better yourself. (Surely that is praise-worthy; without it we are lost.) You have decided that when you come out of school you will make good in your chosen calling. But is that enough? It is not. More training and mere decision won't do it. There are things you must face as groups, not as individuals. Group action is an established method of progress. Your interest in the problems of our race is a selfish one, for whatever you may be or whatever success you may achieve you must gain it largely thru your own people. It may sound narrow, but is it not a fact? To whom do our great papers, insurance companies and doctors sell or whom do they serve? Who will listen to your sermons? And, whom will you teach? Your people. Now, if it is as simple as that, what stands in your way? Have you ever heard indictments that, Negroes will not work together; that we lack race pride; that we are in part denied opportunity and Jim-Crowd because we are so uncultured? Yes, you have. At school and by fireside you delivered great orations on these topics. You complain about the lack of unity among us and the lack of opportunity. You bewail the failure of the Dyer Bill. Is that getting anywhere? Lament and discuss the dying of the liberal spirit at Harvard or talk of the rapid growth of the Ku Klux Klan. Is that gaining anything? Positively it is not. I do not mean that we students should take up weapons or in like methods attempt to fight the clan; but there is something we can do and we Vital Statisti s Lizzie Dudley, 49 yrs. 477K St., N.W.

The Glee Club Annual Recital is being prepared by Prof. Tibbs, and the date will be announced in the near future. It is likely that the Glee Club will tour during the summer months. Towards Commencement The Senior Medical and Dents in the face of all their difficult work and daily tasks, are planning their farewell programs and looking to June 10th. The Senior Dents., will give an Annual Adieu prom sometime in May. They will also have a section in the Collegiate "Year Book."

Can't we find the causes of the lack of co-operation among us and hammer on our students throughout the nation until, as in other races, combined efforts is a reality? 2. Don't you believe we can make ourselves socially efficient? 3. Can't we give intelligent and profitable consideration to the race problem? Students throughout America are asked to work on these things. A fair-sized delegation of colored students from High Schools, Colleges, and Universities, are meeting at Washington, D. C., on April 6th and 7th to attempt to draft a practical program which will make possible the realization of these things. An executive committee of the American Federation of Colored Students—an organization of colored students at Atlantic City during the summer from Howard, Yale, Lincoln, Oberlin, Cornell, Tuskegee, Downington, Mont Claire Normal and the Atlantic City High School—have perfected plans for holding the Washington convention. The plans and purposes of the executive committee have been favorably criticized by some of the ablest thinkers of the day, including Kelly Miller and Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, Dr. David A. Lane of West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and Dr. George Johnson, Ph.D., Dean of Lincoln University. There are cities in America containing beyond 50,000 Negroes without a single department store or a single bank. Why don't we have them? Why aren't we trusted and supported? Are these things nothing to you? This is something practical. If you are a student these are things to study. Use your sociology. Apply your psychology. This is the first and only movement of its kind attempted by colored students. Will your school be represented at Washington? Think! Then roll up your sleeves and act. Be progressive. For information communicate with G. C. West, Sec'y pro tem American Federation of Colored Students, at Lincoln University, Pa. God help you to see the right and to do your duty as you see it.

Stage Whispers The statement made in this column last week that "Plantation Days" had left for London was an error. An injunction was served against it by the owners of "Shuffle Along." The order was signed by Justice Goodard, in U. S. District Court, Southern New York, prohibiting the use of any of the "Shuffle Along" material in London. Gulfport and Brown who were feature comedians in the late "Strut Miss Lizzie" company are now entertaining at the Entertainers Cabaret. Wilbur Sweatman, said to be the originator of jazz, has a new act assisted by his fine syncopators. Elizabeth Welsh played Margaret Simms' role in "Liza." Miss W was absent on account of illness last week. Richmond Robbins, Inc., have taken several blues songs written by W. C. Handy, including "Yeller Dog Blues." "Strutting Along" playing at the Century, San Francisco, which was predicted by the coast scribes to be a frost before it opened, did $13,000 business last week. LOCAL MAN WRITES SONGS Two songs which promise to become popular in the dance realm are "Philadelphia Blues" and "When You Said Good-bye." These songs were written by Vincent C. Lassiter, 1426 K street northwest. The music to the first song was written by E. S. Huntington and to the other song, by Fred Williams, both of New York. Both songs will be on sale within the next three weeks. Come on Woman's Day! SUNDAY MARCH 18, 1923 AT THE METROPOLITAN A. M. E. CHURCH On M Street between 15th and 16th Sts., N. W.

Watson, Dirtcor of Physical Education at Howard University has been named as head football coach for next season. Mr. Watson has not selected his assistants. Less than a month remains for local fans to select a name for Washington's new professional baseball team which will shortly take the field under the management of Ben "Old Reliable" Taylor. Elsewhere in these columns can be found a coupon to be filled-in by anyone desiring to enter the contest. The person who submits the title that is accepted by a group of judges will receive a season ticket to all games played by the team. In the event that the accepted title is submitted by more than one, the first person to submit the title will be honored. Therefore, take no chances but fill out the blank and rush it to the TRIBUNE office. The announcement that Major Allen and Leo Robinson will assist Athletic Director Watson in coaching the Howard baseball and track teams, respectively, was a bit of encouraging news. Both are students in the University's Medical School and their long connection with the above sports fully qualify them for the jobs. For many years Allen has played professional baseball in the summer for his school funds. He has won the reputation of being an infielder of wide ability and has played with the Baltimore Black Sox, Brooklyn Royal Giants, New York Red Caps and other strong aggregations. District fans can remember him as a member of the short-lived "Braves." Allen voluntarily assisted Dr. Morrison to round out the nine last season and his appointment is deserving as well as popular. Robinson ranks as one of the greatest runners that ever represented Howard. It was his sparkling performance, running as anchor-man, that brought victory to Howard's relay team at the Penn Carnival in 1921. Before entering Howard Robinson attracted attention as a runner at Oberlin. The selections are in full accord with an article that appeared in THE TRIBUNE last week, advocating early appointment to these important athletic posts and satisfactory remuneration for those chosen. Nearly 600 spectators paid to see the wonder basketball combination (Loendi) perform at the Casino last week. While a record attendance for Washington basketball, it failed to do justice to the high grade of basketball displayed by the visitors. Should the Loendi club return again this season practically every person who saw the quint manipulate against the Alcoes, should be on hand for the second encounter. The management of the Alco Club is to be lauded for bringing the National champs here. And it was a real misfortune for those who missed this stellar court demonstration. After much dickering it is apparent that an independent baseball league will function here this season. Six clubs were represented at a meeting at THE TRIBUNE office Thursday night, and a league was tentatively organized. Fortunately the coming of Ben Taylor's pros has not altered the plans of the sand-lotters and independents. In every city, the latter groups have their places in baseball circles. In the District these ranks have served as a developing ground for some of the leading Race players of the country in addition to affording most of the sport. The presence of the professional team will not hamper the independents. A step in the right direction has been taken and while one or two strong clubs may still be outside the circuit it is hoped that they will soon fall in line. SPORT CH By H. Scott By H.

The machinery of the Tech five was the outstanding feature of the game. The winners, time and again passed and dribbed their way to easy shots.

Hubbard Makes Record Leap Dehart Hubbard carrying the University of Michigan colors set up a new carnival broad jump mark at the University of Illinois relay carnival last Saturday by leaping 23 ft. 3/4 in. The old record of 22 ft. 8 1/4 inches has stood since 1918. Hubbard also had two seconds to hit credit in the 75-yard low and high hurdles. The inactivity of Earl Johnson, Ned Gourdin, Sol Butler and other Colored track stars of note leaves Hubbard, the sole Race representative of National prominence now performing in track events. Hubbard will compete at the Penn. Relay Carnival. Baltimore "Y" Plays at Armstrong What will probably be Armstrong High School' last big game of the season will be staged Monday, March 12th, i n their gymnasium when the team representing the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. will be here to complete the two-game series between these institutions Winning by only one point in Baltimore, the Armstrong lads are expecting to clinch the series on Monday and thereby finish without tasting defeat on their own court. The defeat of the Philadelphia "Y" team on Monday, March 5, gave Armstrong a record of sixteen victories and four losses during the entire season. It is impossible for Armstrong to lose the inter-high school series between Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, as her record to date is four wins and no losses, her nearest competitor being Baltimore with two victories and two losses. Commonwealth Basketball Team of New York To Play Here The only colored basketball combination in the country reputed to have a chance to defeat the Loendi quint of Pittsburg which appeared here recently, is the Commonwealth Big Five of New York City. The Commonwealth team will play the Alcoes (city champs.) at Murray Casino on Thursday night, March 15th. The Alco management was fortunate enough to get the "pride of New York" to stop over here on their way to Pittsburgh. Slocum, the New Yorker's center, is regarded by many as the peer of all Race basketball players. Even better that the Loendi pivotal man Sessoms, "Fat" Jenkins has no superior at forward, regardless of color or creed. "Specks" Moton began the season with Loendi but being a New Yorker accepted an offer with the Commonwealths. Manager Forbes, and Hubbard are the guards of this array of stars, Hubbard formerly played with the Chicago Defenders. Fiall at forward ranks with the great scorers of all times. The above combination represents the greatest galaxy of stars ever gotten together. Those that missed seeing Loendi should see the team that in all likelihood is their superior, and those that did see the Pittsburghers, should not fail to see the Commonwealth compare the two since they are to meet before the season The alces have been strengthened with some of the best players in the city and a close game is expected. "Y. W." Adds Another Victory The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. All-Stars, added another victory to their long string by defeating the Howard University quint 31-11 last Friday night. The University Girls were outclassed in department of play by the brilliancy of the All-Star five. Line-up and summary: Y. W. C. A. Howard Huntley .... Forward ..Stewart (c) Gwynn .... Forward ..

Wilberforce Wins Again By S. Hasbrook, Jr. The Springfield Tigers like all the rest of the teams to face Wilberforce this year went down to defeat in the fastest and best played game seen in Beacom Gym., this year. The score 31 to 19 just indicates the superiority of Wilberforce over her opponents. As the Tigers have a win over Xenia American Legion, Colored champions, this year, the victory of coach Petty-john and his team last night can not be taken lightly. The game last night started with a rush. It was not long before the wearers of the gold and green got under way and once under way they were never headed. The floor work of Pete Willette was something to marvel at. Lewis at forward played his usual speedy game and was good on defense, Capt McGee the old steady paired with Ed. Huff kept the Tigers at long range with two exceptions when the Tigers got thru and counted from under the basket. Chief Redden at forward regained his basket eye and was responsible for 10 points. For the Tigers Heath and Spears did some fine work. A word should be said about the efficient manner in which Mr. Duff of the Chicago Defenders handled the game. Line-up and summary: Wilberforce Tigers Redden Forward Lee Lweis Forward Heath Willet Center Pearle McGee Guard Ellicot Huff Guard Spears Point scorers—Redden 10, Lee 9, Willett9, Lewis 6, Carey 4, Ellicot 4, Heath 4, Huff 2, Spears 2.

Artists release, a host of engineers architects, artists and artisans labored for months before ever a camera lens was opened. THE NEW YORKER Hundreds of workmen labored three months to build the sets. One million feet, or approximately thirty-five carloads, of lumber were used in their construction. This lumber, if laid out in board feet, would cover twenty acres of ground; if placed end to end would span a distance of about five hundred miles. One carload, or about thirty tons, of nails were consumed in erecting the sets. Two hundred and fifty tons of material went into the castle walls. More than fifteen acres of studio property are in use for the principal sets. Every weapon carried in the production was made entirely by hand. There are 2,000 spears, 1,500 swords, 2,000 shields and 500 daggers. Saddles and trappings were made for hundreds of horses, all hand-made and hand-sewed. In making an exact duplicate of the standard used by King Richard I in his Crusade to the Holy Lands, 300 pounds of iron were necessary. An army of 10,000 extra people is being employed in various scenes at various times. The prodigal use of hand-work on all effects in Douglass Fairbanks' "Robin Hood," is not a careless extravagance, but serves to illustrate the absolute authenticity of the production, for in the period depicted machinery was little used, metals and almost all materials being worked by hand. BIG ATTRACTIONS AT LINCOLN NEXT WEEK In "One Week of Love," the Selznic production, co-starring Elaine Hammerstein and Conway Tearle, which open at the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday not only is the aeroplane utilized to a degree, but actually the entire plot hinges on an aeroplane crash. The story has to do with a wealthy society girl, Beth Wynn, portrayed by Elaine Hammerstein, who, tiring of the hollowness of society, seeks some new thrill and finally agrees to marry Franklin Freser if he can defeat her in an aeroplane race. Wednesday and Thursday, the Atlanta University Benefit Pageant "The Open Door" will be presented at night only with usual motion picture. Matinees both days. Coleen Moore is the herione in the big David Smith production. "The Ninety and Nine" which will be shown at this theatre on Friday and Saturday. Miss Moore was selected from a score of leading women because she suited the role of Ruth Blake as perfectly as though it had been written for her. Another important role in the cast has been filled by Gertrude Astor, who is in constant demand. Warner Baxter, one of the popular young leading men of the screen, heads the list of men. The production is adapted from Ramsay Morris' famous play of the same name and elaborate preparations are evident in the staging of a big forest fire which consumes a whole town. NEW PLAY-AT HOWARD Next week the Lafayette Players will offer as their final attraction, "Lawful Murder," a new drama in four acts and four hundred thrills. "Lawful Murder" was written as a preachment against capital punishment. For many years the people have been opposed to "a life for a life" as a means of punishing criminals, and many efforts have been made to abandon the electric chair, but without success. "Lawful Murder" is a very appropriate title for this play which was written for Broadway consumption, but has been offered to the Lafayette Players by the author to try it out. This play has never been produced before on any stage, and the reception it re- Beginning SUNDAY MARCH 11th DOU FAIR FEATURING —A— Special Orchestra HARVEY PEARSON, Dir.

Adams HOWARD CHORAL SOCIETY SCORES HIT IN "THE MIKADO" Mable Bullock as "Yum-Yum" Pleases Splendid Cast, Beautiful Scenes "The Mikado," that delightful comic opera in two acts, with words by W. S. Gilbert and music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, was given its first production by The Choral Society of the Howard University, Washington, D.C., last Thursday evening, March 1, at the Lincoln Theatre. Opportunity for the display of the innate musical and dramatic talent of the Negro was most adequately given to the students of Howard University who compose The Choral Society and they thoroughly measured up to it in this highly flavored comic opera. The Choral Society has already won public favor by its annual presentatio of "Hiawatha" and "The Messiah" and this additional production places them upon a higher pedestal of supreme merit in musical and dramatic art. Colored people are born actors and singers and with thorough preparation they easily merit recognition of the ablest critics. "The Mikado" players approached their task with a spirit that seemed to exude across the footlights and held rapt attention during the entire performance. The story of the youth Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado, who is pursued by an elderly lady of a none too pleasing countenance with matrimonial intentions; flees from the court; seeks and finds Yum-Yum to marry her and after several hair-raising episodes, succeeds, is made realistic in a set of successive silent scenes. Mabel Bullock as "Yum-Yum" completely captivates as a pursued lover. Charming personality, pleasing manner, graceful in her every movement, her dark eyes shone out in all animation or despair as the plot thickened and her pretty little face and sweet voice thrilled beyond sheer imagination. It was around her, largely, that the scenes revolved with poor Nanki-Poo in continual distress. Her acting was marvelous and natural, even to the drop of the eyelid and stamps her as a coming star in dramatic art. James B. Cobb as The Mikado carried his part fairly well, but seemingly too undignified as such. We cannot imagine a reigning monarch as anything but austere and dignified in state, but maybe in a comic opera there are excuses galore. J. Ballard Majors, as "Ko-Ko" entertained well and caught the fancy of the auditors, even though he did the unpardonable "slip-up" in his haste from the Mikado's presence. George J. Davis as "Pooh-Bah" really was a "Lord High Everything Else," acting well and splendidly his role, also Slaughter M. Murrell as "Pish-Tush" and Bernard L. Walton as "Ne-Ban" performed smoothly their part. Anola Miller as "Pitti-Sing" scampered happily and winsomely smiling through the entire play as if it was but fun so adeptly did she enact her character, but when trouble was brewing she scampered on with a changed expression of voice. Helen Heartwell as "Peep-Bo" was likeable and pleasing, and together with the Misses Bullock and Miller—"Three Sisters (Wards of Ko-Ko) was one of the brightest spots in the entire play, always radiating cheer and sunshine and cute little smiles. Annie E. Cottrell as "Katisha" could not win a beau in a thousand years so true did she carry her role. She was convincing throughout the play and showed signs of real dramatic art. A real artist is one who can simulate as real any character part assumed, and Katisha was not far from it as such. Miss Cottrell pleased in her singing, her voice being of a mellow sweetness that conveyed warmth of tone. A magnificent picture scene was presented in the chorus of school girls, nobles, guards and coolies. The striking Japanese costumes mingling with all the varied colors of faces from dark to fair made a rainbow scene such as biblical Noah ne'er saw in the sky in his day. It was a revelation in beauty of young colored women as few occasions present, and one well worth seeing. The choruses were well done, delighting the audience immeasurably. It was a well trained cast of characters, strikingly superior to many other efforts of similar equipment and facility. A review of this worth-while production would not be complete without credit to the staff: Miss Lulu Vere Childers, choral director; Dorcey T. Rhodes, orchestra leader; Albert Burgess, concert master; Miss C. Beatrice Lewis, accompanist; Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Bond, professional directors; and the courtesy of the Oriental Bazaar in decorations, etc. THE WASHINGTON TRILOGY. SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 National Negro Health Week National Negro Health Week In accordance with the request of the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference and in cooperation with the National Negro Business League and other influential organizations, an invitation is extended to the following organizations and agencies to unite, from April 1st to 7th, in the observance of the Ninth Annual National Negro Health Week: Daily and Weekly Newspapers, Health Journals, The United States Public Health Service, State Board of Health, City Board of Health, The National Medical Association, State Medical Association, State Tuberculosis Associations, The American Red Cross, The National American Social Hygiene Association, Association of Graduates Nurses, The Nationan Child Welfare Association, The American Child Hygiene Association, The Child Welfare League of merica, The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The National League on Urban Conditions, The National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau, The Young Men's Christian Association, The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, The Associated Negro Press, The National Negro Press Association, Bishops and other officers of Religious Denominations, Annual Church Conferences and Associations, Secret Societies, Insurance Companies, Farmers' Conferences, Farmers' Improvement Societies, Churches, Schools and other local organizations. The Ninth Annual National Negro Health Week should secure a more general interest in an understanding of health problems and health education than any which has preceded it. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the cooperation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the reduction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the Government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country. As was done last year, the United States Public Health Service has prepared the Health Week Bulletin. It is ready for distribution and copies of the same may be secured by application to Tuskegee Institute or to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D.C. The Inter-Racial Movement in the South By Dr. James Bond Secretary Kentucky Interracial Commission. Like most movements of its kind, the Interracial Movement had its birth in a great crisis. During the war the white and colored people of the South had, in a very remarkable way, forgotten their differences and united in a supreme effort to win the war. Promises of better things were made to all of our boys, black and white. The Negro soldier accepted these promises at face value. He played well his part in the war. When upon his return to his home-land, these promises were not realized, his heart was filled with bitterness. The lines were more tightly drawn and barriers to his progress seemed more stubborn and relentless than ever. As race riots broke out and fear of a general race conflict gripped the country, a group of white men, confident that the good will and co-operation secured between the races during the war could be perpetuated, called into confidence a number of representative colored men in the spirit of prayer and supplication, and adopted a platform upon which all could stand. The planks of this platform included justice before the law, the prevention of lynching, and the correction of other injustices to the Negro. Some of the most widely-known people of the South accepted places on the Commission, among whom were ministers, college presidents, bishops and capitalists. As a later development, many of the South's leading women have become associated with the movement. The Commission does not pretend to have discovered a short cut to the millennium or to have brought into existence a perfect organization, nor does it believe that it has found a solution to the race problem that can be worked out in a day. It recognizes, in the language of George Madden Martin, that prejudices are stub- Miss Nannie H. Burroughs asserts "Negroes do not want the 'Mammy Monument,' and they are saying it with bricks." In the words of the slangsters as quoted by S——M——: "They aint saying it with flowers." * * * * * * I had a great, long, fine, excellent article on spring for this issue of the Tribune—butalas and alack, even the plans of a Monoped are disarranged in the relentless advance of nature. Nature surely did give us a slap Tuesday. Nature came down in all her, or his, or its—cold white glory. My article began thusly: "In the trees the birds do sing Telling us that this is Spring—" I went around thinking that Spring had aroused the Muse, and that the Muse had whispered to me, and that I should write the musings down and give it to the anxiously waiting public. But alac kand alas, 'twas all wrong. The little birds evidently had gotten hold of somebody's mash—and were not responsible for what they were doing. Are you a remora? A remora is a specie of fish which has a suctoral disk situated on the top of the head, and by means of it adhere firmly to large fishes and to vessels.

The report of the commission was that "while education, commerce, and industry have been developed to a wonderful degree, there is little evidence that the Christian religion is regarded as important by most of the people." Nuuff said. Perhaps if there were no cranks the earth couldn't revolve. born, and that to overcome them is not a task for limited sympathies and petty natures; that it is not a task that can be done by machinery or mere organization; that it is a spiritual task, a task to be carried out in the spirit and according to the ethics of the Man of Galilee. These principles emphasize first the truth that contact is necessary in the solution of any human problem. Differences are at first minimized, then they disappear. In order that the Movement should be motivated by Christian principles, the leaders perfected a duly organized Commission with membership representing thirteen states and headquarters in Atlanta. In addition to this Commission, each of the thirteen states has a Commission directing the work in that state. Some eight hundred of the twelve hundred counties in the Southern States have organized local committees of representative white and colored people. In thirty-seven years, from 1885 to 1921, there were 437 lynchings in Georgia and only one indictment. In 1922 alone, with eight lynchings, twenty-two persons were indicted, of whom four have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary and fifteen are still to be tried. The evidence in these cases was collected largely by the interracial secretary and committees in Georgia. This is one illustration among many of the effectiveness of the movement. What the Commission needs more than anything else is the confidence of the community, white and colored. It seeks the sympathy and co-operation of the members of the churches and social organizations, to the end that this greatest problem confronting the American people today may be settled by the principles of justice and fair play, and according to the teachings of Jesus.

LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: Here is a poem written by May Van Voorhis. It may interest other Tribunites, at least the girls: "WANTED—A GIRL" "WANTED—A GIRL" "Wanted—A Girl." In a heathen land, The boy is the great and the sole demand; But here, where the Stars and Stripes unfurl, We have learned the worth of the gentle girl. Wanted, a girl, with her pure, sweet ways, With her smile that brightens the darkest days; Wanted,a girl, with her true, kind heart, That feels with keenness another's smart. Wanted, a girl, with the willing hand, For the smallest task or the effort grand. Wanted, a girl—there are so many sad Whom her gentle presence may render glad; There are sick and suffering lives, I know, And her skillful fingers may soothe the woe; In hut and garret are lonely poor There are darkened hearts that would treasure well The sweet old message her lips could tell. At the home, in the school, in the lane or the street, There are tasks for her tactful fingers to meet; In the business din or the social whirl We need the touch of the Christlike girl. Wanted, all girls who will stand this test, And, queenlike, endeavor to do their best; Whose lives, as they blossom from more to more, Make girlhood precious the wide world o'er. MINANNA COLEMAN, (Age 11) Dear Editor: I keep my fern in the house all winter. The room seems to be warm but my fern seems to be dying. What do you think can be the matter?

MOTHER'S LOVE EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation (Continued from last week) SUMMARY—"EMANCIPATION" GROUPS AND FIGURES We have considered several statues and groups which were more or less related to that important and far-reaching occurrence which we designate "The Emancipation." We have seen that Ward had this event in mind and perhaps intended to commemorate it when he modeled his "Freedman." Yet the form of this statue as well as its accessories, and also its name, indicate that his intention was to portray a Freedman rather than to personify Freedom—a class rather than a theme. Rogers' figure on the Detroit monument, which is called "Emancipation," can scarcely be regarded as an attempt to symbolize the Emancipation as an event; although it was probably intended to be a perpetual reminder of one of the War's most notable results. As for Ball's mismamed group; I have tried to show, that, notwithstanding its past and present popularity under its adopted name, it has little right to claim any higher conception than the one originally in the sculptor's mind, that is, "Lincoln and a Kneeling Slave." Bissell's Edinburgh group is not primarily an "Emancipation" group, yet if it be so regarded, it is a far more deserving representation than Ball's; not the least of its merits being its freedom from ostentation and from affection. Scofield's relief on the Cleveland monument carries us several steps toward an adequate representation, but does not bring us as near as we could wish. He does, however, perceive that Mr. Lincoln, while performing a noble act in issuing the Proclamation, was as much an instrument as a cause. Moreover, Scofield recognized that there were some reasons other than simple benevolence prompting the action, and that some of those reasons were quite practical. In fact, Scofield's conception, as a whole, is a bit too practical, the ensemble too localized, and it is lacking in idealization. Several of the sculptural works that are yet to be considered under the general subject, bear more or less relation to the Emancipation; but in most cases the relation is incidental. To regard them as commemorative or symbolical of the Emancipation would tend to distract attention from their main intents and significations. It may be said further, that, of the works so far discussed, there are only two: Ball's and Scofield's—perhaps, strictly, only the latter—which appear to be primarily representations of this great theme. Unfortunately, Scofield's panel is relatively small, is obscure places, and, as has been indicated, is rather artistically mediocre. In view of what has been set forth, it may be held, that, at the time this monograph was put into its first form, early in 1913, although fifty years had passed since "Emancipation" was proclaimed, no adequate representation of it as an event—including and indicating its genetical causation and an apparent understanding and appreciation on the part of its principal beneficiaries—had yet appeared in sculpture, nor indeed in painting. Perhaps none, so inclusive, is possible. Perhaps it is one of those comprehensive yet intangible conceptions which, while readily comprehended, is scarcely amenable to satisfactory representation or clear suggestion objectively. Curious it is, Kenyon Cox cites this very theme as an example of the difficulty if not impossibility of expressing by painting (or presumably by sculpture) certain conceptions which, without much difficulty, lend themselves to verbal exposition or definition.("The Classic Point of View," page 66) Reducing the conception to the simpler and more concrete idea of an occurrence—Lincoln Emancipating the Slaves—we are still in serious difficulty; for "emancipating" cannot be pictured. (The word "pictured" is here used in its strict and literal sense. It is not intended to include representation in a broad sense, nor suggestion.) And Mr. Cox shows, that if we drop still lower, to a mere incident, let us say, the writing, or the signing, of the Proclamation, a picture of the scene will need an explanatory or descriptive label to indicate the "story," that is, who is writing, and what is being written; that much at least. Our label, or name, should say no less than: "Lincoln Writing (or Signing) the Emancipation Proclamation." We might, indeed, shorten our descriptive name by resorting to such palpable and crude methods as have been followed by artists like Hogarth, who probably would have shown the document hanging conspicuously over the front of the table on which it was being written, or signed, and on the exposed part put in large print, "Proclamation." Given the historical knowledge that most Americans are supposed to possess, that might suffice for us to perceive what is transpiring in the picture even if the name it bore were simply, "Lincoln." And, since the personal features of Mr. Lincoln are so familiar to us, the picture, so far as it goes, might be intelligible to us with no name at all. For the rest—the acts and incidents connected with the event; its purposes and results—we might draw on memory and understanding. We could, of course, do that without the help of any picture whatever. But Art is intended to initiate thought; then to assist, to stimulate, and to excite, the memory, the imagination, and the emotions. And the "art" of it is to do these things with taste, skill and subtlety. By all means, "baldness" must be avoided. Nevertheless, if art, that is, the higher art, is to fulfil its mission, it must do at least the things enumerated. Take a simple representation of the scene we have been discussing; put into it several people, scatter about a few accessories, and then call it "Emancipation," depending upon the viewer's unassisted, unstimulated memory and intuition to supply what is neither portrayed nor suggested; that would not be Art. If great and comprehensive themes, and important and far-reaching events could be thus easily disposed of, we should not require a Michael Angelo to depict "The Creation," nor a Raphel to paint "The Disputa." And such a representation as Holman Hunt gave us in "The Triumph of the Innocents," would be a waste of time and effort to plan and execute; and it would be a still greater waste of time and that to ponder over it and endeavor to comprehend it, in all its wondrous wealth of suggestive imagery and mystic beauty.(See Note A) Now, Emancipation was an event of great and far-reaching importance, and the mere signing of the Proclamation might well be regarded as a sublime occasion; and the question may arise, can we by pictorial means portray the signing, and also in the same picture indicate or even suggest its importance and sublimity? Mr. Cox rooms to think it cannot be done. I seems to think it cannot be done. I am not at all sure it cannot; but I am convinced that it would require a series of pictures and considerable skill in their designing, to suggest these ideas to a person unacquainted with the history of the event its causes and results. But supposing and relying upon this knowledge, and upon a sincere ad sympathetic appreciation on the part of those to whom he would appeal, I should not like to set bounds to what the artist might be able to indicate or to suggest(See Note B.) Without such knowledge and sympathy, the artist's efforts would be hopeless. That recalls the story of the English tourist who was being conducted about Boston by a guide. They at last climbed the hill to the Bunker Hill monument and when they arrived at the base of it, the guide with a swinging motion of his hand toward the base of the monument, said, "Here is where Warren fell." "Ah! did he? said the tourist, and added, "Did it 'urt 'im?' "Hurt him? Why man, he was killed!" exclaimed the guide with the vehemence one would expect from a Boston-reared man. Whereupon the Englishman, adjusting his monocle and looking straight up to the top of the shaft, remarked, "Indeed, I don't wonder—falling from such an 'ite.'" Note A—A reproduction of this picture, with explanation and discussion, may be found in, "The Christ Child in Art," by Dr. Henry VanDyke (Harpers, N. Y.).

QUESTION BOX Mr. Frazier: An argument came up among my friends in which opinions differed as to whether Tuskegee was prospering as much now as it was during the life of Washington. Please tell me something of its present status. —O. W. J. Ans.: A recent statement sent out from Tuskegee by Mr. Moton says: "... during the past seven years the enrollment at Tuskegee has increased from 1600 to 2100 and the average attendance has increased from 1100 to about 1850. In this same period a debt of $185,000 has been wiped out and the endowment has increased from $1,800,000 to $3,000,000. Tuskegee Institute has also added to its equipment a horse barn costing $50,000, cow barn, $35,000, girls' dormitory, $91,000, five trade buildings, $325,000, with $100,000 spent for equipment. In the same period about $500,000 have been spent on building repairs and general improvements." Mr. Frazier: In what sense is the word "tithe" used in the present day church? Some denominations make use of the word.—R. H. T. Ans: A tithe is one tenth of our increase. The difference between income and increase is defined by Webster as follows: "Income, that gain which proceeds from labor, business, or property of any kind; the produce of a farm; the rent of houses, the proceeds of professional business; the profits of commerce or of occupation; the interest of money or stock in funds, etc, revenue receipts, especially the annual receipts of a private person or corporation from property." The total receipts from any branch of business is gross income. That portion which remains after paying wages, for material, etc., is net income. "Increase, addition or enlargement in size, extent, quantity, number, intensity, value, substance, etc.; augmentation; growth; multiplication." The net income is the gain or increase, and one tenth of this net income from all sources is a tithe. Mr. Frazier: Is "ukulele" an American word, or not?—E. J. F. Ans: It is not. It is an Hawaiian word; "iku" means a flea and "lele" means to jump, so that "ukulele," means a jumping flea. The name is suggested by the way the player fingers the instrument. BOYS Are you and your dad pals? If not—why not? Do you and your dad take hikes? If not—why not? Do you and your dad have little talks together? If not—why not? Take your problems to your dads, "dads" will give you "honest" advice. Katherine Mallory: The poem "Four-leaf Clovers" which you submitted was submitted by another Tribunite and was published on this page some time ago. Note B—It is not the province of Art—or at most, a small part of its province—to supply information; except, perhaps, in the form of illustration, if we regard that as art. On the contrary, the understanding and appreciation of art depends largely upon previously acquired and assimilated knowledge; and in the higher forms of art, to knowledge must be added what we commonly designate as culture. (Continued next week) ADVERTISE IN PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" FAREWELL ADDRESS OF GEN GOYDERT Commanding the 157th Division The following letter holds a bit of history. It is information given by one who knows—General Goybert. He knows because he was there. This letter is published here so that Negro children may see that Negro men are brave—and that merit demands respect, and bravery demands admiration. The 157th (French) 93rd Provisional Division, United States Army arrived in France April 14th 1918. This division participated in the battles of the defensive sectors of Vanquois; Hill 304; Dead Man's Hill (LeMort Homme); and in the offensive in the Cham.pagne which is referred to in General Goybert's communication. The 157th Division was composed of the 1st Separate Battalion of District of Columbia National Guards; 9th Ohio. Battalion of National Guards; 1st Separate Co. of Baltimore N. G.; 1st Separate Co. of Tennessee N. G.; 1st Separate Co. Connecticut N. G.; 1(?) Co. Boston, N. G.; 15th New York N. G; 371st Infantry of the National Army. The letter follows: 157th Division Staff. 1. On this, the 12th day of December, 1918, the following regiments, 371st and 372d, R. I. U. S., have been returned to the disposal of the American Command. It is not without profound emotion that I come in the name of the 157th Division and in my personal name to say good-bye to our valiant comrades in combat. 2. For several months we have lived as brothers in arms, sharing the same work, the same hardships, the same dangers side by side. We have taken part in the great battle of the Champagne, which a wonderful victory has ended. 3. The 157th Division will never forget the impetuous, the irresistable heroic rush of the Colored American Regiments on "Observatories Crest" and on the Plains of Menthosis. The most formidable defenses, the nests of machine guns, wonderfully organized, and the artillery barrages most crushing could not stop them. These best regiments have gone through a splendid disdain of death, and thanks to their courageous devotion, the Red Hand Division has, during the nine days of severe battle, been ahead in the victories of the fourth army. 4. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 371st and 372d R. I. U. S., I salute your glorious dead and I bow down before your standards, which by the side of the flag of the 33d R. I., lead us to victory. 5. Dear friends from America, when you have recrossed the ocean, do not forget the Red Hand Division. Our fraternity of arms has been soaked in the blood of the brave. These bonds will be indestructible. 6. Keep a faithful remembrance of you general, so proud to have commanded you, and remember that his faithful devotion and thankful affection is gained to you forever. GENERAL GOYBET, Commanding the 153th D. I.

NATIONAL GATHERINGS The meeting of the’ National Negro Educational Congress in this city Monday, brought out the fact that many of our racial gatherings are composed of men and ,women of every walk of life other than that of the personnel hat would be expected to make up the membership. The president of this Educational Congress is employed as a messenger in the government service. The secretary is supposed te be an architect. The majority of the delegation is made up of ministers. s The time has come for our people to let the persons best fitted for the organizations, to lead. When the doctors meet, you do not expect to see brick masons as officers and holding the leading committee appointments. When dentists meet you do not see blacksmiths holding the offices, nor when the preachers have their meetings do you expect to see the bootleggers filling all of the committees. Therefore, let our educators hold the offices and call the meetings of our Educational Congresses. THE ALLEY DWELLERS The failure of Congress to pass either of the two bills before it to relieve the expulsion of the 12,000 alley dwellers of Wash- ington, places these people in an awful plight. The law says they must vacate by next June. Not Congress nor anyone else has made, or is making any provision to provide decent (or other) quarters for them. Speaking of man’s inhumanity to man, and the horrors of the Turks, all these are demonstrated here in Washington thru the failure of a Republican Congress to provide for the comfort, the welfare, the housing, if you please, of 12,000 homeless citizens of the United States. And this is a Christian country, with a Christian President. The disinheriting of the Greeks by the Turks in ‘Smyrna is not any more inhuman, un-Christian or more savage than ‘the prospective turning out of their homes of the Washington alley dwellers without making some provision for them to find homes in the District.

McCorkle Going from door to door, day by day, week in and week out, month in and month out, would, no doubt, prove to be a very irksome job to some people, but £ get pleasure and help- ness out of such work, because of the fact that I enjoy meeting folks. For some time, I have had the distin- guished ‘honor ‘of representing the Washington Tribune, Washington's most popular weekly, in the District and the surrounding vicinities. Some of the few experiences which have come to me in this capacity may be of interest to the readers of this paper. In this arteile, I shall endeay- ar to tell you something of the sort of people I meet. But remember, dear readers, that I am writing of folks in eneral. If anything I chance to say reminds you of yourself, you may be confident that the writer did not in- end that for you, and therefore you ‘can just apply it to the other fellow [really do get pleasure and helpness ‘out of meeting folks. Although, at times I receive such curt replies that T feel like bursting forth into a vol came evuztion, as it «vere, but still T possess myself. | Any individual who goes out to ‘deal with the public with the hope of achieving success, besides the other qualities that go to form a strong character, must possess patience, en: durance, determination, _will-power ‘perseverance, bull-dog tenactiy an¢ many other good qualities that shoul help him to carve his way. A cheer. ful disposition, I think, should be th first requisite. I do not know to wha extent I have succeeded in acquiring this very necesasry quality, yet I hav been accused of being in possessior of this enviable requisite. | If the person starting out in suel a capacity has a sharp and uncon tvolable temper, he had better leav it at home. If he doesn’t, he and his temper both will soon be somewhere in seculsion indefinitely.

W. i bg Can be seen from Bd 10 a.m to 8 p.m ie Folks I meet, enumerated: First: Those who barely crack the doro and even before giving me time to announce my mission, state very sarcastically, that they don’t avant anything and then very politely(?) close the door in my face. _ Second: Those who open their doors looking at me sternly, failing, in many cases,to speak even after my using all the necessary modern day courtesies. Third: Those who hang out of their windows and inquire, “What do you want?” or “Who do you want to see?’ I dread such cases, for it seems that their distance from me acts as a re- pelling force. Fourth: Here is another case where I actually put myself down as a fail ure, that is when the message is con. veyed to the lady of the home. In variably the answer is “No,” beeaus of the fact that the question is put t her in this manner: “You don’t wan to take the Washington Tribune, d you?” Fifth: There are those who gree me very courteously, invite me in t have a seat even before finding out ms mission, These cases are so very rari that I can hardly believe my own eye: when they occur. I have reached the place that I an never disappointed. If I fail with thi ‘customer, I see success with the nex one. But after all, I have found tha every individual has a good side to hi: life.
