SPIVEY IS STILL A MYSTERY Atty. Cobb to Have Him Brought Back as Soon As He Is Located Dr. H. P. Spivey's whereabouts is as much a mystery now as it was a month ago when his disappearance was first noted. All efforts of Attorney James A. Cobb, Mrs Spivey's lawyer, to locate the absconding dentist has been of no avail. However, if the doctor is located, he will be brought immediately back to the District for trial on charge of contempt of court. Mis Mabel Thomas, the other woman in the case was not residing with her mother on Oakdale street according to a statement given out this week. Mrs. Thomas stated that her daughter has not lived with the family for over a year. Miss Thomas' action is in no wise approved or countenanced by her people; her whereabouts is also unknown, she having disappeared about the same time as did Dr. Spivey. Dr. Spivey was well known here, having built up a large dental practice and was an instructor in the Dental Infirmary at Howard University. LOCAL DAILY WRONGLY ACCUSES CARRIE JOHNSON A local morning paper carried a news item Wednesday stating that "Clara" Johnson, "the slayer of a D. C. cop" was being held in Philadelphia for murder of a man in that city. The article stated that the Philadelphia police had communicated with Inspector Clifford L. Grant of this city and gotten the record of "Clara" Johnson and would use it against her there. The story stated that she had killed detective Wilson here during the riots of July 1919, at 220 G Street northwest; and that she was tried for murder, found guilty, appealed the case and that it was nolle prossed in June 1921. The reporter in writing the story associated the name of "Clara" Johnson with that of "Carrie" Johnson and referred to the unfortunate circumstances which involved her with the riots of 1919 and may persons believed that it was "Carrie Johnson. However, upon investigation, The lieved that it was "Carrie" Johnson. Johnson" bears that name no longer, but is married, and is a Mrs. James Clayton, having married last October, and is living on 2nd street, in southwest Washington. She has not been to Philedelphia and is no way connected with the crime referred to in the local daily. It was for Miss Carrie Johnson that the Pollyanna Social Club collected money for her defense and the Club was sued by Miss Johnson thru her attorneys Gaskins and Watson, in June 1921, for the possession of the money due her from the Pollyannas. A judgement was given her in February 1922 for $977 and costs with interest from March, 1921. The Pollyannas, thru their attorneys Cobb and Davis, appealed the case and it was finally settled, out of court, Dec. 15th 1922, by satisfying the judgement. After the expense of court, attorney fees etc., were paid, Mrs. Clayton, nee Johnson, received about $400. NO SHOW—HOWARD NEXT WEEK There will be no show at the Howard Theatre during the coming week. The dramas which have been showing for the past several weeks were not very well supported by the people, the shows were of the highest class. The management states that they will endeavor to line up a number of road attractions of the class that will please the Washington public and put them on the stage shortly. The average Washington person seems not to realize how difficult is the task of securing attractions of the class that the people will support. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly CARNIVAL NETS $2500 Incomplete returns from the Carnival held in Convention Hall during the week of January 8-13, 1923 for the benefit of the building fund of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a national school for colored youth, to be located at Ridge, St. Mary's County, Maryland, show that the proceeds will be approximately $2300 to $2500. The Carnival was conducted by the Federated Colored' Catholics of Washington and vicinity. The same organization has already contributed one thousand dollars, the proceeds of a Field Day held a Suburban Gardens in September, 1922, to the building fund of the Institute, making a grand total of $3500 raised for this institution by the Colored Catholics of Washington during the past year. A Chevrolet touring car, voices in the disposal of which were for sale during the week of the Carnival, was awarded to Mrs. M. S. Armstead, 1223 New Jersey Ave., N. W. Washington, D. C. PROMINENT S.W. MINISTER LAID TO REST Was Retired Employee of Lansburg Co.—Funeral Services Thursday Funeral rites for the Rev. William J. Robinson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, S. W., was held at the Zion Baptist Church southwest and were largely attended. For 56 years he was employed by Lansburgh and Brothers, and was retired with a pension a few days ago.

He belonged to the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He leaves a son, Joseph Robinson, and a daughter, Mrs. Sarah R. Jones. SHAW UNIVERSITY SEEKS CLASS "A" STANDING SHAW UNIVERSITY SEEKS CLASS "A" STANDING Raleigh, N. C.—Further evidence of progress at Shaw University, and of the ambition of this institution to be an "A" college by the opening of the next school year, was afforded by the announcement of President J. L. Peacock recently to the effect that the General Educational Board had appropriated $65,000 for the science building. Complete renovation of the structure formerly used for the Leonard Medical School will begin at once, and when the building is finally equipped in the fall it is intended that it shall not be second to any science hall in the South. The classroom at the institution also keeps pace with outward manifestations of progress. With the New Year in January came Professor Benjamin Brawley, formerly a teacher at Howard and Morehouse. The Professor of Physics is Mr. R. A. Thornton, a graduate of Howard University. It is the purpose of the administration to fill the various chairs of instruction with men of recognized ability in their various fields of teaching and research. With such beginnings the feeling that at Shaw a new day has dawned seems well justified. PARENTS' LEAGUE TO MEET A meeting of the Parents' League of the District of Columbia, will be held at the New Bethel Baptist Church, 9th and S streets northwest, Monday night, March 19th at eight o'clock. Lawyer Charles S. Hill, president, Dr. W. D. Jarvis, pastor. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1923 MIGRATION FROM THE SOUTH ON IN FULL SWING MIGRATION FROM THE SOUTH ON IN FULL SWING Lankford's State, Georgia Is One of the Hardest Hit So Far The Migration is on. Every train leaving Dixie takes its quota of colored men and women and children out of the Southland for either the north, east or west. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, and change of climate is the order of the day. Many conditions are responsible for this migration, unprecedented for the winter. One man from Mississippi says that Pat Harrison filibustered the Dyer Bill off the calendar, and the Negroes do not want to live in Mississippi with Pat. "The best investment that I can make in the South, is the money that it takes to purchase a railroad ticket out of the South," said a man from Georgia. "I have $000 and I am going North to try and get an education," said another young man from Georgia. The largest number so far, to migrate this winter, has come from Georgia, the home of the K. K. K., the "Williams murder farm" and Congressman Wm. C. Lankford. The young man's statement above is significant for the state of Georgia. A Bulletin issued in January of this year, by the National Educational Association gives valuable information on the educational conditions of the South. Concerning as Negro illiterates, the bulletin shows that Georgia stands at the head of the list of states with 261,115, as to expenditure for education per child, Georgia stands 48, that is, last. The average salary paid the teachers of Georgia is $426 per annum, giving her the rank of 47. Moreover Georgia leads in lynchings. This makes it look very bad for Georgia, since we read that she stands 15th as to income, 19th as to estimated wealth, and 25th as to savings accounts. The migration of the Negroes from the South will focus the light on the factor the Negro occupies in the economic South. Already the trades are feeling his departure. The building trades are falling behind with their work because of the shortage of Negro skilled and unskilled labor. A report from New Orleans states that several large buildings are being held up for lack of clasterers. Consumption of cotton is fast taking up the surplus and the large migration of farm laborers will affect the acreage to be planted this year; therefore, raise of cotton to 30 cents may reach 50 cents before the fall crop comes in. As the spring opens up the outlook promises the largest migration of Negroes from the South that Dixie has ever known. What will the result be? FEDERAL LIFE INSURANCE CO- GETS LICENSE FEDERAL LIFE INSURANCE CO- GETS LICENSE The Federal Life Insurance Company, with office at 1934 11th street northwest, was licensed on March 1 to do health, accident and life insurance business in the District of Columbia. The capital stock is $25,000. It will probably be the last insurance company to be incorporated for less than $100,000 in the District, as the law to that effect went in effect on the very day the Federal was licensed. The officers of the company are Carroll A. Brooks, president; Jesse H. Foster, vice-president; Clifford T. Taylor, secretary and Isaiah Cunningham, treasurer. Mr. Foster is also chairman of the executive committee. The management of the company will be under the supervision of Mr. Clifford T. Taylor. He has had experience with several companies and was a prime factor in the organization of the Federal. The Federal will begin writing insurance next month. SUNSHINE SAMMY A FULL-FLEDGED STAR (Pacific News Bureau) Hollywood, Calif.—Earnest Frederick Morrison, the 10 year old film actor, known to millions the world over as "Sunshine Sammy"; has at last won the coveted goal of stardom. Young Morrison with his baby sister Florence (Farina) heads the cast of juvenile actors in the series of "Our Gang" comedies made at the Hal Roach studios. Born in 1913, Earnest has played in more pictures than any juvenile actor in the films. From co-starring with Baby Marie Osburn in two and five reel dramas, Earnest has supported in almost weekly releases, "Snub Pollard" and Harold Lloyd. His success with these comedians won him the starring position of "Our Gang" comedies; and incidentally a substantial raise in weekly salary, which is said to run into three figures; the highest salary any Negro film actor receives. MOTHERS INVITED TO HAVE THEIR BABIES EXAMINED Welfare Centers Throughout City Opened To All Parents Colored children and white children are equally welcome at the centers where physical examinations of those up to the age of 3 years are now being conducted by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, it is stated by the bureau in announcing its schedule for the week of March 19. This is true not only at the Freedmen's Hospital, where children may be examined on Tuesday morning of next week, but also at all the other stations on the list. The study of child health which the Children's Bureau is making offers an opportunity to parents to have their babies examined free of charge by Government physicians, and during the past week many parents have taken advantage of this opportunity. They are thus finding out whether their children are in the best of health or whether they should go to their own doctors for treatment. There have not been as many babies under 6 months of age, however, as of children a little older, and it is hoped that more babies about 2 to 6 months old will be brought in, in order to make sure that they are getting the best start in life. The bureau also urges the mothers who wish to bring their children to the centers of the Child Welfare Society for examination to make an appointment at least one day before-hand. In this way they will avoid long waits at the centers. The following is the list of Child Welfare Society centers where the examinations will be given next week. The telephone numbers of each center are given, so that mothers may call up to make appointment. The best time to call up is between 11 and 12 o'clock on the day before the examination. Monday, morning and afternoon, Center No. 3, 12th and V Sts., N.W., North 5589. Wednesday morning, Center No. 6, 900 Maryland Ave., N.E., Linein 4453. Wednesday afternoon, Center No. 4, 330 C St., N.W., Franklin 2342. Thursday morning and afternoon, Center No. 5, 1235 4½ St., S.W., Main 4227. Friday morning, Center No. 2, 21st and G St., N.W., West 376. Friday afteroon, Center No. 4, 330 C St., N.W., Franklin 2342. At the dispensary of the Children's Hospital examinations will be held on MISS LUCY SLOWE SPEAKS BEFORE WOMEN DEANS Holds That Every University Should Be A Cosmopolitan Center Dean Lucy D. Slowe represented Howard University at the Meeting of the National Association of Deans of Women in Cleveland, Ohio, February 26 to 28 inclusive. Over three hundred deans of women in universities and colleges attended the sessions at which questions relating to every phase of the education of women in institutions of higher learning were discussed. Questions of health, women's vocations in modern society, intra-mural and extra-mural activities, moral leadership in national and international affairs and racial contacts on the campus were some of the subjects considered. Dean Slowe, in discussing racial contacts on the campus, stressed the right of every student to be judged by his individual worth rather than by his racial affiliations. Every university, she contended, should be a cosmopolitan center where opportunity should be furnished for the free mingling of representatives of all races in order that mutual respect may be built up through mutual understanding based upon knowledge and not upon prejudice. Among the prominent universities represented at the convention were Cornell, Leland Stanford, and the state universities of Michigan, of Wisconsin, of Minnesota, of California, of Indiana, of Pittsburgh, of Iowa, of Ohio, and of Kansas. Among the colleges represented were Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, Goucher and Bryn Mawr.

Dwellers Hardships May Result If Law Is Enforced Police Census Shows Over 9,500 People Will Be Affected "What will we do with the alley dwellers?" is now the big question with the District Commissioners. The failure of the last Congress to pass legislation extending the time of evicting these people placed the law enforcers of the District and the inhabitants of the alleys in a peculiar situation. According to the law now on the statute books, all alleys must be closed June first of this year. To remain in them after that time, subjects the tenants to arrest and a heavy fine by the Police Court. Police Census taken last week shows that there are 9582 persons living in alley houses. About 90 per cent of these people are colored. At present there is a great shortage of houses for colored people and to turn a large number of them out now, with absolutely no place to go, is bound to work hardships on most of them. In most cases these people have very limited means, and the rent they would have to pay, even if they could get houses out of the alleys would make it almost impossible for them to meet the rent. At present the alley houses in nearly all classes study in need of repairs. The owners, knowing of the impending enforcement of the law, have refused to make any repairs to the property during the last four or five years. In a number of cases the houses are wholly unfit for human habitation. They are breeding places for disease of all kinds. This is one of the evils that the closing of these houses is supposed to correct. A conference was held Friday afternoon in the District Building between members of the Alley Improvement Association of which Rev. Waldron is president, and the District Commissioner, at which time some way of evading the enforcing of the law was discussed. The recent police Census show the following houses and inhabitants in the various precincts: First precinct, 5 houses, 19 inhabitants. Second precinct, 364 houses, 470 inhabitants. Third pprecinct, 399 houses, 1,674 inhabitants. Fourth precinct, 499 houses, 1,645 inhabitants. Fifth precinct, 186 huoses, 740 inhabitants. Sixth precinct, 180 houses, 680 inhabitants. Seventh precinct, 60 houses, 233 inhabitants. Eighth precinct, 324 houses, 1,173 inhabitants. Ninth precinct, 202 houses, 1,812 inhabitants. Tenth precinct, 27 houses, 136 inhabitants. Eleventh precinct, no inhabited public alleys. Summary; Total' number of houses 3,246; total estimated population 9,582; gain over last census, 500; the largest number in a single precinct, 202 houses and 1812 people in the 9th. and it is even easier for ball fans to name a baseball team. 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. The judges for the contest will be Mr. S. H. Dudley the famous sportsman and theatrical magnate, Mr. B. H. Taylor, the manager of the team and Mr. William O. Walker, managing editor of The Tribune. The judges reserve the right to reject all titles if none suitable for a name are found. Clipp coupon on page five of this paper and send in The Tribune office at once.

Norman The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity stands not only for a well qualified ministry but an intelligent laity also, and contributes annually to one or more of our educational institutions. We realize that a refined and cultured pew will demand a refined and cultured pulpit, and too, the safety of Baptist churches, the government of which being a democracy, is christian intelligence, hence our deep interest in the proper education. Recently the Conference pledged $400 to the Endowment of the School of Medicine of Howard University, and would have done better but for pledges previously made to other institutions or for other causes. In fact the Baptist people here as well as throughout the country are becoming more and more interested in education, both secular and religious, as the many schools maintained wholly or part by the Negro Baptists attest. The National Baptist Convention, with a membership around three millions is planning to build or establish a National Baptist Seminary to be located in the city of Nashville, for the highest training of young men for the ministry and, of course, in order to accomplish this laudable purpose, we shall have to spur up and increase large our contributions. It is going to take large sums of money, big money, to maintain such an institution, however money thus spent will yield dividends that will increase in value as long as the world exists. Although our denomination is doing big things of which we are proud, it is planning to do even greater. I trust however that we'll not over do, nor over-lap, but do well what we undertake. Our own church voted in the last church meeting to place in this year's budget $350 for education. That isn't so much but it shows an increase of interest in education and is rather a good sign, and in doing this the church did not neglect foreign mission and charity, for it decided to give $600 to foreign missions and $1,000 to charity, planning to help as many charitable institutions as possible. The Baptist churches in the District of Columbia, in my opinion, are all doing splendid work, but there is a chance for denominational betterment, and I want to see the day when Baptist forces in the District as well as throughout the country, will be harnessed and not living man can hardly imagine the good that our denomination would do for the world. GEORGE E. C. HAYES, Attorney IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF the District of Columbia. Sidney F. Robinson, Plaintiff vs George E. Haynes, Defendant. At Law No. 86034.

Suffice to say, nothing exactly like them has ever been given in Washington before. From the time that these experts begin mixing their first recipe to the time the audience eats the last dainty morsel from the hands of these wonder workers, there is something to grip the attention of the ladies.

Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera, "The Mikado," was presented by the Howard University Choral Society, of which Miss Luth V. Childers is director, at the Lincoln Theatre, March 1 and 2, under the professional direction of Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Bond. The performance was of a highly professional character. The very elaborate stage setting and costumes made such brilliant scenes that each rising curtain was greeted with a storm of applause. Mabel Ballock, Anola Miller and Helen Heurwell as "Yom-Yum," Petti-Sing and "Peep-Bo," a delightful bit of work in portraying the young Japanese school girls. Annie E. Cottrell as "Katisha," J. Ballard Majors as "Ko-Ko," George Davis as "Pooh Bah," Slaughter Murrell as "Pish-Tush" and Bernard Walton as "Ne-Ban" won much favor in their several roles. Ernest Hemby as "Nanki-Poo" was an earnest lover. The work of James B. Cobb as the "just and humane Mikado" was inimitable. The brilliant chorus contributed their quota of excellence to the performance their work showed splendid training. Not for one moment did either chorus or cast seem amateurish, but played with assurance and ease. The fine quality of fresh young voices heightened the brilliance of the musical effect. The Howard University Orchestra accompanied the entire performance, giving valuable support, balance and color. NORFOLK LYCEUM ASSOCIA TION ORGANIZED.

He will talk on his experiences during his trip speaking on "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject." While in Aiken, S. C., recently, he was invited by a group of white ladies to return to that city and deliver an address under the auspices of the White Chamber of Commerce in the Opera House. Governor E.

Music for the big occasion will be furnished by Madam Mandonia Wright Jackson's great Jubilee Chorus of 100 voices, consisting of old plantation melodies, spirituals and classics. The speaker will be introduced by W. W. Foreman. The Lyceum will be closely modeled after that of the Grace Lyceum in Chicago, and will undertake to fulfill a similar need. It is expected that at least 500,000 people will be in attendance at the initial meeting. AN EVENING OF PLEASURE. A very pleasant evening was spent VS at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. B.

Magnates of the East and those of the West are putting forth their claims each day, and Washington is very much involved in the affair. Ben Taylor, the man who will put Washington on the Colored baseball map this summer, is now in the West getting things in order. Since the announcement of his coming to Washington, "Old Reliable" has been the object of many western newspaper attacks. The Foster contingent has accused him of attempts to "wreck" the A. B. C. club and "steal" its players. But the popularity of Taylor can not be denied. Men who have played under Taylor acclaim him one of the Race's greatest managers and a gentleman in every particular. These attacks, therefore, have met with few sympathizers. Manager Taylor is expected from the West next week, bringing with him the signed contracts of some of the leading players of the country. The team will leave for spring training around April 1st. About twenty men will be taken to training camp, possibly in Richmond, Va. at the home of the Richmond (Colored) Giants. Just what team will open the season here has not been decided but a member of the newly formed Eastern Association will be the attraction. University of California's Stand The stand taken by the University of California, which if true, is worthy of further comment. According to press reports the boxing teams of the above University and Stanford University were scheduled to meet. Stanford protested against two colored men on California's team, Errol Johnson, lightweight and Melvin Johnson, heavyweight, on the grounds that mixed bouts would result in ill feeling, but California authorities retorted with the claim that the men had made the boxing teams and would not be withdrawn. Stanford called off the matches. In these days of northern college segregation, the attitude taken by the authorities of the University of California is to be lauded. Naming "Our" Team Local fans have until March 20th to name "Our" team. Rush your name to the Tribune office at once. Eager eyes of Race baseball fans all over the country are fastened on Earl Brown at Harvard. Last season Brown was a first-string hurler on the Crimson staff, but this season bids fair to be the ace of the staff. We might term Earl Brown as "our Earl" for his home is in Alexandria, Va., and around 1918-19 Earl was Howard's star halfback and was acknowledged the best south-paw in colored colleges. Harvard coaches instructed Brown last fall not to go out for the football team for fear of injury. Already many Eastern and Western professional teams are clamoring for the Harvard star. Brown has expressed a willingness to play with Ben Taylor and has promised Ben first option on his services. Brown is a senior at Harvard and will graduate in January 1924. The appearance of Morehouse and Wilberforce on Howard's football schedule should serve to keep interest at fever heat from the first to last whistle. With the Hampton and Lincoln games booked for foreign gridirons it was feared that the home games of the blue and white varsity, would be rather tame. But thanks to the well formulated schedule, wholesome competition,—not too hard or overburdening but certain to keep interest alive throughout the season—is guaranteed the Howard gridmen.

In his twelve years of service as a professional ball player, he has been with the following clubs: West Baden Sprudels of Indiana; Brooklyn Royal Giants; Old Philadelphia Giants; Lincoln Giants, and during the last seven years at Indianapolis with Taylor's A. B. Cs. Clark is at present in Ponce, Porto Rico. He is managing and playing short for an American Colored club, and has been there since last fall. The Porto Rican papers refer to him as a "Major League" ball player. He has accepted terms and sent in his signed contract to Ben Taylor, who will pilot a big league Colored club here in Washington this season. Clark writes that he is in the best condition, and will do his "bit" towards giving the Washington fans a winner. Eggleston, catcher Eggleston is without doubt one of the Race's greatest receivers. Several eastern clubs have been after him recently. He has played with the Detroit Stars, Columbus Buckeyes of the Western league and last year, was one of the main cogs in Taylor's A. B. C. machine. He bats right handed, and is always dangerous at the plate. He will, in all probability be Taylor's first string catcher. Warne Carr Wayne Carr, pitcher, was one of Taylor's leading pitchers last year. He has played with St. Louis Giants and the Brooklyn Royal Giants of New York, and last season was one of the aces of Taylor's A. B. C's. He is a righthander, weighing 170 pounds, with lots of speed and a fine change of pace. He will prove to be one of the best pitchers in the East this season. J. C.

Each of these teams have suffered a lone defeat. The Gladiators have finished its schedule while the Alco and Delta quints have only weak opponents to meet. The playing of the Delta "5" durin the last month has been a sensation in local basketballdom hence they are likely to be the bunch to beat out. While weaker than the Alco or Gladiator teams offensively, the Delta aggregation has the best defensive combination in the city. The excellent condition of the fraternal men is another asset. Interest in the league grows hotter and hotter. "Y" EASY FOR ALCO The District Champs had an easy time defeating the "Y" quint Wednesday night in a rather poorly played 46-26 encounter. The reverses of both teams were used. The Alco regulars almost scored at will. ALPHA QUINT FRATERNAL CHAMPIONS By H. Scott Trailing by 8 points with only 5 minutes to play, the Lightning "5" of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity staged a sensation, as well as startling rally that carried it to a 37-35 victory over the Delta "5" of Omega Psi Phi, Saturday afternoon on the Casino court. Every available inch of standing space in the Casino was utilized by the throng of over 800 who witnessed the clash. The victory carried with it the Howard University fraternal championship. This story could be summed up as a mighty defense meeting a brilliant offense with the latter having the better of it by a mere two-point margin "Old Man" Dash who years ago won fame on New York courts, must have acquired a new set of glands for never during his illustrious career has he flashed as he did Saturday. Wheatland and Clarkson time and again electrified the fans with stellar passing and shooting. Richardson and Lee were others to bring the attendance to its feet with wonder shots. Davis and Nurse exhibited guarding the like of which has never been seen here. The teamplay of the losers kept them in the running but the distant accurate shooting eye of the winners decided the issue. Substitutes: Delta—Carter, Blackman. Lightning—Johnson. Field Goals—Dash 7, Richardson 6, Lee 5, Wheatland 5, Clarkson 3, Lowry 1, Nurse 1, Blackman 1. Foul goals—Nurse 9 in 14, Wheatland 1 in 3, Clarkson 4 in 5. Officials: Messrs. B. Washington and T. Johnson. ARMSTRONG QUINT MAKES GREAT RECORD Surely this is Armstrong's year. Not satisfied with a football team that went through the season undefeated, and not scored upon, Tech's basketters have captured the local high school championship and the Inter-city high school basketball championship. In the later class were high school teams of Baltimore, Wilmington and Washington. Armstrong came through with five wins and no defeats. The Manual Trainers also boast of victories over many local club teams including the Lightning Five, Howard's Fraternal champs. Armstrong's basketball team is coached by Mr. Westmoreland of whom we will tell more in an early issue. Although there were outstanding scorers, teamplay featured the quint's work on the floor. In practically every game the regulars and reserves were used. Captain Anderson, Turner, Ellis, Blue, Middleton, Berry and Levi were considered first stringers, while Temple, Lacey, and Whiting capably filled their gaps.

STILL WINNING in a hotly contested game at the "Y. W." gym last Friday night, the local All-Stars increased their winning streak at the expense of the Hampton quint, 24 to 19. While slightly rough, the game was one of the best seen this season with the winners forced to come from behind in the last quarter to win. Line-up and summary: Y. W. C. A. Hampton Stewart . . .

Gymnasium workouts have been in order. Baseball prospects are unusually bright with the return of all (but three), vets and a host of recruits. Higgins, Whitted and Nurse are battling for the first-string catcher's job. The pitchers are slowly rounding to form. Johnson, Melton, Blackman, Long, Lee and Robinson are having a merry fight for infield berths. More than ten men are contesting for outfield positions. The team has less than two weeks to get in readiness for a trip through Virginia. Coaches Watson and Robinson and Captain Kraft are driving the track men in preparation for the Penn relays. Wilberforce Ready for Lincoln Wilberforce's unbeaten quint will clash with Lincoln April 5. The Ohioans are determine to atone for tehri football defcat at the bards of Coach Law's men last fall. Head Coach Mohr, assistants Green and Purnell and Captain Fenebee are preparing "Forces" track team for entrance in one or two Eastern meets and the "Big Six" meet in Ohio. The baseball team is also drilling for a strenuous season. Captain Latting and Coaches Mohr and Pettyjohn are working on the nine in preparation for the coming season. Manager "Pete" Lane has booked 17 games with white and colored college teams. "Pete" Willette is on the road to a unique record this season. Having already won his letters in football and basketball he bids fair to land two others in track and baseball because he is a third baseman of ability nad a 10-second track man. Big Hampton Squads Out A call for Hampton candidates was answered by 54 trackmen and 50 baseball players. The Hampton track team only suffered one loss (ex-captain Watley) from last season's team. Captain Reuben Jones of Baltimore is leading the squad out daily and already classy pole-vaulters and half-milers have been noted. The battery men at Hampton have been warming up for some time in the gymnasium. George Alexander of Kentucky is captain of the nine. Spring football practice will be in order shortly. Captain Coleman will have the gridiron squad under care. The Hampton track and field meet on May 19th promises to outstrip that of last year. Wilberforce and Livingstone will enter teams as will all members of the C. I. A. A. and many high schools. The inter-class track meet will also be held in May. Annual Review of Basket Ball in Southeast (Director of Athletics, Morehouse) Most followers of intercollegiate sports in the Southland have looked upon the months between November and March as the time for College Athletes to hibernate, the time to be spent in rehearsing the past football season and crowing champions of the hot stove baseball league. But that time for Atlanta and vicinity has past. A new intercollegiate major sport has come to stay. Basketball, a game requiring all the skill and technique of baseball with a superabundance of the stamina, speed, teamwork and fight of football has kept the fans at a high pitch of enthusiasm. This tension has been increased by the closeness of the games and frequent upsets of dope among the contending teams. Only two teams have been consistent and true to form. Morehouse won for the seventh consecutive year the southeastern championship and again established a good claim to the National Colored Collegiate Championship by giving Hampton Institute one of the worse drubbings in her history on her own court by a score of 45 to 20. Clark University failed to win a game; although at home she led Atlanta University to the half way mark 15 to 14. Morris Brown, Atlanta University, and the "Y" team were about on par with Morris Brown having greater potential strength, but not always being able to get the team work. Tuskegee with a new team and new coach showed fair form and another year will bear watching. Observations and Suggestions Some observations and suggestions are: 1. Next season an intercollegiate basketball tournament be staged in Atlanta, the entire proceeds to be used to defray pro rata the visiting teams' expenses. 2. A uniform interpretation of holding or personal contact. On a trip in which two successive accredited A. A. U. officials were used, one allowed absolutely no personal contact, with the effect that one of the fastest, cleanest, and best passing games of the season resulted. The other interpreted holding to apply only provided a man in possession of the ball attempted to get away, and in the attempt was interfered with even though the man not in possession of the ball was guarding from the rear with two arms around, hence the game in the last half got from under his control and resembled a football game and wrestling match, therefore the heavier team having the advantage. 3. It is hoped that next season the schools involved will find means for bringing together teams representing Lincoln, Howard, Hampton, Wilberforce, and Morehouse, as well as other college teams. In fact that the colleges will make a special effort to play college teams in order that the college spirit that precedes intercollegiate activities may not be lost. 4. Some way to avoid certain teams' methods of obstructing plays from the center, when the opposing center was getting the jump, by violation of the jump rule. Brilliant Playing There were many brilliant forwards and guards on this season's college teams, but the centers were weak most of them having no outstanding qualification except height. Instead of picking two teams this year I am attempting to pick an All-Intercollegiate team of eight men as a coach picks from his squad for a trip, three forwards, two centers, three guards. All-Intercollegiate Team Forwards-Jones, Hampton; Gayles, Morehouse; Wood, Morris Brown. Centers-Woods, Lincoln; Clark, Morehouse. Guards-Sykes, Morehouse; Clay, Atlanta; Bailey, Morehouse. SPORTLETS Mahoney, last season a member of the A. B. C. club of Indianapolis has signed with the Baltimore Black Sox. Mahoney is a local product and is at present working out with the Howard squad. The Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute Girl basketball team defeated Wilberforce on the former's court 17 to 14. An extra period was necessary to decide the issue. It was Wilberforce's second defeat in four years. St. Paul Normal School became a member of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association at its meeting last week. The Georgetown Athletic Juniors are out to meet all comers between the ages of 14 and 18. Address communications to Manager Everett Wooden 1308 27th St., N. W., city. A regular meeting of the Independent clubs will be held at the Tribune office. All clubs are requested to be represented. Meeting will be held March 19th at 7:30 o'clock. Morehouse landed the first baseball game of the season on March 10th at the expense of Clark University 17 to 0. Much promising material was shown by the Tigers. The Brookland Giants under the following officers, President John Washington, Manager Herbert Carroll, Business Manager Norman Jones, Secretary Raymond Addison, and Captain William Temple are preparing for a big year on the diamond. All candidates are requested to be out for practice on Sunday, March 18. Much dependence is being placed upon the moundmen Tucker, Mills, and Jackson to land the newly organized Independent league pennant for the Giants. A group of local umpires met recently and organized, naming "Danny" Spencer, vice-president and "Fish" Barber, secretary. Other local umpires are requested to be present at the next meeting on Tuesday night at 350 W Street, N. W. The Commonwealth and Loendi basketball teams are scheduled to decide the Colored court championship on March 16th and 18th in Pittsburgh and New York, respectively. The John Roan American Legion Post basketball team of Xenia, Ohio, conquerors of the Loendi quint will battle the Famous Autos (white) for the championship of Xenia on March 14th and 21st. Sol Butler, Winters, Duff, J. Anderson, Ward and Noel, the same team that downed the Loendi will meet the white quint. Stage Whispers The T. O. B. A. of when S. H. Dudley is an official will meet in this city sometime this month to arrange better booking conditions and salaries for performers. Shuffle Along is packing the English Theatre, Indianapolis, Ind., this week. Plantation Days headed by Harper and Blanks opened in London this week playing in conjunction with "Monkey Glands" (white) at the Empire Palace. The Negro Folk Theatre company finished their engagement at the Avenue Theatre, Chicago but gave a special matinee at the Olympic, playing Salome featuring Evelyn Preer supported by Laura Bowman, Sydney Kirkpatrick and others. The matinee was attended by many of the leading white performers. Seven hundred people were turned away at Keith's Grand, Shreveport, La., at a midnight show using all colored acts. This is the first time a colored show ever played in a theater catering strictly to whites in the history of the South. Liza is playing at the Nora Bayes Theatre, New York. A colored show circuit has been formed with Robert Levy, former manager of the Lafayette Players, as president and I. H. Herk, general manager. There will be forty shows and twenty houses in the lineup including the Howard in this city. The Negro Folk Theatre Company, will go on tour, having New York, Philadelphia and this city on its list. "How Come" is finishing its sixth week at the Dumbar, Philadelphia, playing to about $6000 a week. "Follow Me" is in the middle West and doing well according to reports. Luke A. Scott is managing the Bellinger Theatre, San Antonio, Tex.. Scot is well known here, having played vaudeville. Eddie Brown of the team Eddie and Leonard has sued Al Davis for salary due when Eddie was with Bon Bon Jr., Co. Mamie Smith and other stars of Strutting Along are making some extra shekels by doubling at the Palais Royal Cabaret, San Francisco, Fridays and Saturdays each week. Florence Mills, Edith Spencer, Shelton Brooks and Will Vodrey's famous orchestra is pleasing large crowds nightly at the Plantation Cafe, New York.

THEATRE NOTES "ROBIN HOOD" AT BROADWAY Starring Douglas Fairbanks Draws Capacity Audiences All Week At the opening performance Sunday evening at the Broadway Theatre sat an anxious audinece filling every seat, awaiting the celebrated star, Douglas Fairbanks in "Robin Hood," to appear in what has been heralded the greatest photoplay ever produced. At three o'clock shard, director Harvey Pearson waved his wand and the orchestra began to play hte love theme "O Promise Me" from the Robin Hood opera by De Koven. When the main title and east announcement had cleared away there was the romance, chivalry, adventure transplanted from the dust of eight hundred years ago and nourished by the genious of a great director till it blossomed forth in all its realism before twentieth century eyes. When the spell of amazement had worn off, the audience expressed its interest in the rare merit of better things by frequent outbursts of spontaneous applause. As the crash of splintering lances on gleaming armor; the waving of plumes, the scarfs of fair women; the blithesome spirit of Robin Hood's merry men leaping through Sherwood Forest so wonderfully picturing the classic of eight centuries ago appeared on the screen, the audience made known their appreciation. Centuries can tear away nothing from "Robin Hood." Chivalry and courage, too, will live forever as the greatest entertainment in the amusement history of the entire world. "Robin Hood" will show at the Broad way another week.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE ‘White Yor Pactcaiary ERE Wonders of the Holy Land and Why Every Minister Should. See Them By Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson No matter in which manner ap-. proach to Palestine is made, one some- | now feels that he has begun a sojourr among the most Holy of Holies, and not because of the abscace of com- pany, for there are many fellow. pjl- grims on the boats and trains that touch points in the Holy Land. There are merchants and traders too, from the four points of the compass and still hundreds of cthers moving about with apparently no thought of the sacred land in which they move. Their lack of appreciation of the unequalled wonders of their native land is com- mon, just as America’s wonders are aiten passed unnoticed by us. Upon arriving, one is impressed with the politeness of the customs’ officials whose virtues, by the way, do not include immunity from graft- ing and petty.thievery. A coin placed into the examining officer's hands is known to be the trick that facilitates an easy and hasty entrance to the Land where Christ lived. Once in, you are known to all who chance to See you as a person of untold wealth Foreigners, in spite of the thousands who visit there annually, are novelties and the natives seek a souvenir from every one they see. Jerusalem, the first point of interest { visited in Palestine, and the largest and most important city, is situated on four hills, 2500 feet above the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded on three sides by ravines, the fourth side joining one of the hills with the main range of mountains of the country. It is truly the Golden City, as may be seen by the countless golden domes, spires and minarets of a thousand and more churches, mosques and syna- gogues glittering and dazzling in the sunlight and the houses of white stone and rough marbel silhouetted against the azure sky representing the residence: and business shops of 70,000 Moslems, Jews and Christians. Scores of ill paved, crooked, narrow streets mark the paths through the city and lend their bit to the enchant- ment of the Holy Land, Antedating the birth of Christ, Pal- estine has been a hotbed of religious wars, massacres and destruction, and much of that which allures and draws one there, can be said to be the result of these wars. In more peaceful times progress would have erept in and doubtless wiped out the history that remains. Strange enough to say, Mohamme- danism is the principal religion of Palestine and its hold on the majority of the people is remarkable, and even stranger to say, their . principal chureh, the Mosque Omar erected A.D. 691, is the most beautiful structure of ite kind in the world. __In Jerusalem there is to be seen ‘the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, ‘which it is said covers the spot where Jesus Christ's body was anointed by Nicodemus and which contains the Rock Calvary, a stone with two foot prints said to be those of Christ, and the stone that was rolled away from the mouth of the sepulchre by an angel. Then there is the Russian Ex- cavation Church, which encloses the original gates of Jerusalem, the Gar- den of Gethsemane, the tomb, of Mary and the Chapel of the Acsension on the Mount of Olives, containing a rock marked by tradition as the ex- act spot where Christ ascended into |Heaven; there is the tomb of David jon Mount Zion and the Chamber of ‘the Lord's Last Supper; the Jews’ ‘Wailing Place, which is against the Wall of Solomon and is where the Jews go daily to cry and pray for the revelation of the burial place of the fen Commandments The city of Bethlehem, the home of David and the birthplace of Christ, is interesting for its Church of the Na- tivity, erected over the birthplace of Christ and contsining the resting lace of the Manger. Here is also ‘ocated the Chapel of Innocence, Beth- iehem represents the beginning of the history of Christ and offers splendid opportunity for first hand comparison of much relating to His early life. There is Jericho, the Promised Land with Eljah's Fountain, beside the school of the Sons of the Prophets and Bethany which is now an entirely Moslem City, with the spot where étood the house of Simon; the leper, __THE WASHINGTON TRIE . What the Student Body ¢ of Howard Needs | a aaa students to lead a serious misunder- standing of the needs of the students of Howard University. Whether this is an intentional misunderstanding or not, can only be proved by the facts in the case. Perhaps very plausible explanations may be’offered, on well framed excuses may be made in order to show how unavoidable is our. pre- sent, plight. ‘A few weeks ago several students were suspended from Howard; Univ- ‘ersity by the dean of men and by the dean of women, The Student council presented the facts to the student body in a mass meeting and the stu- dents put forth a sincere effort to secure a hearing for the suspended students. ‘A resolution which sought to get a hearing for these students originated from the floor in the mass meeting. The student body adopted the resolu- tion without a dissenting vote, and in- ‘structed the Students’ Council to for- Wward the resolution to the Acamedie Council as an expression of its feel- ings and desires on this question. In this resolution, the students at- tempted to get a hearing, something of which, they should not rightfully be deprived. For some reason well known to the president of the Student Coun- cil, this resolution was returned to the student body. ‘The reason as given by the presi- dent of the Student Couneil, js that the resolution is susceptible to two ‘interpretations. The question con- cerning this resolution was not so much two interpretations as it was the correet wording of the resolution. ‘The meaning of this resolution changed with only a change in word- ing and such is true of all resolutions; With such fact in the minds of the students, many have wondered as to whether the real reason for withhold- ing this resolution is still veiled in a cloud of mystery or not, for what can be so unprecedented as for the president of the Student Couneil to refuse to carry out the mandates of the student body. Some councilmen may say that it is dangerous to carry out the man- dates of an excited student body; but it is never a wise poliey to trifle with the express desires of those whom you are obligated to serve, If ever there was an opportunity for the president of the Student Council to show the strength of his character, and to give ‘expression to the manhood and wo- ‘manhood of the student body, it was when he was requested to forward this resolution to the Academie Coun- cil, He failed, as many good men do who try to follow what they consider the expedient at all times. At the last meeting of the student body they reached the point where they did not even request that any- thing be done, but merely made three suggestions, neither of which seems to be the remedy for the situation, The first suggestion was that the Academie Council state the method of procedure in making appeals. Is it ynecessary that the Academie Council state the method of procedure when ‘the students know that an appeal will not be denied them? If a student is dissatisfied with the decision of the ‘dean of meri‘and dean of women, all he has to do is to inform the dean of men, or the dean. of women as the case may be, that he will appeal to the Academie Council. Upon doing this he writes to the Academie Council in- forming the council of the decision of his dean, He further states his de- cision to appeal to the Academic Coun- cil and requests a hearing with’n a reasonable time. ‘The second suggestion is that tite recommendation be through the Stu- dent Council, This suggestion means that recommendations for appeal be made through the Student Council. It follows that before the Student Council can fecommend this appeal, it must hear the ease; otherwise it will be a blind-folded Student Council re- commending an appeal, ‘The entire student body is against any such plan of having these cases heard before the Student Council. It would be far bet- ter for all cases involving to be brot before a committee or council com- posed of ladies from the upper-class- es for recommendations to appeal to eae, ea ere dows. To go there ahd see the won- ders of the past is to receive aii un- equalled education, to be a master of biblical history and fo gain a more clear and comprehensive knowledge of the Christ that was and the Christi- anity that is.

March 5, 1923 Editor Washington Tribune, Sir:—While I have always admired the stand taken by your valuable pa- per in standing up for the rights of my race in everyiway, I cannot agree with Mr. Williams in his article to the ‘Tribune of the 26th ult. In-his first paragraph he says “I want'to ask the colored brothers and sisters to stop singing and praying and/allowing it to be preached to them and their children ‘You may have all this beau- ‘tiful world, white folks, if you just give us Jesus,’ for I find some of this world mixed with Jesus is a far bet- for proposition. Brother, religion in disguise has done the Negro more harm than any one thing since he was set free.” | First, I wish to say that that is just what is wrong with the world today. « There is too much of the mix. ‘ture of the world and Jesus. If you have Jesus you have everything that 11s necessary for you in this world “What will it profit a men if he gain: the whole world and lose his soul?

"Having food, rai- ment and shelter, therefore make yourself content, for they that would ‘be rich fall into temptations and snares.” We are supposed to be so- journers in this world, yet while in it we are to provide things decent, but ‘not be lovers of filthy luere. I hope ‘that every true Christian of my race will always prefer Jesus to the world. What can we get unless it is given ‘to us by God through his Son Jesus? I had rather, have Jesus than ten ‘thousand worlds like this.

CONTEE EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) All that has been said concerning painting, especially as to its limitations, is equally true—more obviously true—of sculpture. We may, however, ask the questions: Is it necessary to a representation of the Emancipation as a theme or as an event that the writing or the signing of the Proclamation be shown? Do we need even to show the Proclamation? or for that matter, must we show Mr. Lincoln? Of course, something must be depicted. Shall we stop at more objective and realistic portrayal, or shall we not endeavor to indicate and to suggest more than we actually portray? And finally; are not the possibilities of representation and suggestion widened as we draw away from realistic portrayal? To portray limitedly and yet to suggest broadly, may be called the method of the higher art; and all of the Panel on the Military Monument representations which we have discussed—whatever their imperfections and whatever their merits—have ex Panel on the Military Monument, Cleveland, by Levi T. Scofield. representations which we have dis- or perhaps others equally as intac- cussed—whatever their imperfections gible. emplified this method more or less. It would be going too far to purport to lay down rules to be followed in the representation of the theme under discussion or any other. Nevertheless it may be stated that a study of what has been done by artists in similar cases, leads to the opinion that in this case the most promising means for an adequate rendition appears to be the use of the figurative. And it may be held further, that if we, as in this case, purpose to represent or symbolize a comprehensive theme—rather than to portray a simple occurrence or to indicate the accomplishments and the character of one or more individuals—we should keep out of the representation that which is essentially personal. At any rate, the figurative and the impersonal should predominate. In order to make clear what I have in mind, let us consider two works of the late Augustus Saint Gaudens: the Sherman statue in New York, and the "Shaw Memorial" in Boston. In the Sherman statue, or group we have one of the most admirable examples that art has produced of the successful combination of the realistic with the figurative. General Sherman is mounted on his horse which is striding forward. Just before the horse, half runs, half flies, a winged figure with extended right arm and bearing in her left hand a palm branch; clearly personifying "Victory." Regarded as a statue of General Sherman, this combination of mounted warrior and allegorical figure is a striking success, since it shows what appears to be a good personal likeness and also strongly suggests General Sherman's character and recalls his accomplishments. But let us turn the matter around and try to think of this group as having been intended to represent or to symbolize some idea or some historical event more or less related to the allegorical figure. Let us call the group "Victory," or "The Victory of the Union," or "The Civil War." In any of these cases, the personality, the well-known and recognized personality, of the man in the group will disturb and disconcert us. It will be difficult to disregard his personal presence, and it will be still more difficult to merge his personality—and lose his identity—in whichever conception we are endeavoring to form. Moreover, if we should attempt to represent one of the conceptions which, in character, approach historical events, say, "The Victory of the Union," it would not make General Sherman's personal presence in the representation any more tolerable if the victory had been due, even more than it was, to his personal efforts. On the contrary, the more conspicuous had been the part he played in the event, the more insistently would his personality seem to stand out. In short, this group, regardless of the name that may be attached to it, is "Sherman"; "Victorious Sherman," if you please, but essentially, even insistently, "Sherman." If on the other hand the man on the horse were merely "a" general or "a" soldier, the aspect of the matter would change completely. We could then readily think of the group as representing any of the conceptions named Cleveland, by Levi T. Scofield. or perhaps others equally as intangible. The "Shaw Memorial," although it shows Colonel Shaw's personal figure and although primarily intended to be that which its name implies, is nevertheless frequently referred to as representing certain comprehensive events and intangible conceptions far beyond, or but remotely connected with, Colonel Shaw's individuality. In this panel the sculptor has placed a personal figure it is true; but by grouping with this personal figure a seemingly overwhelming number of other essentially impersonal figures, all in rhythmic action, and also by introducing conspicuously and skillfully an undefined, floating, angelic figure, Saint Gaudens has produced a most unique ensemble. We may readily concentrate our attention on the mounted officer or we may subordinate him personally, if we chose. In fact, as we look at this wonderful panel, we instinctively do both of these things, first one, then the other. But nevertheless, the monument is fundamentally what the sculptor intended, that is, a memorial to Colonel Shaw, or, to Colonel Shaw and his regiment. If we see more than that; if we see looming behind, the tremendous issues of the war"; if we see a frank, generous, and altogether acceptable recognition of the patriotism and valor of the Negro-American soldier; if, despite the personal character of the memorial, and the masterly characterization of the chief personage in it, ideas such as these are stronly suggested to us, it is because we have here a most rare and exceptional accomplishment by an artist of towering talent. Yet I venture to say that the sculptor of this masterpiece would have been the last person to consent to change the name of this panel—richly suggestive as it is—to anything comprehending a theme. Hence if we may judge by what artists have so far accomplished, it would seem that we may hold that the successful introduction of the personal into a work of art which even in a secondary way is regarded as representative of anything approaching a theme or an intangible conception, calls for exceptional talent and exceptional skill and perhaps an exceptional set of conditions. And it appears that with all of these conditions fulfilled, the personal part must be, as it were, dominated and overshadowed by the impersonal and the figurative. Below are a few peoms and verses that Tribunites like. Tribunites are requested to always give the names of the authors of the poems which are submitted to the page. Remember to write on one side of the paper only. Dear Editor:—I have been reading the "Children's Page" for a very long time and would like to become one of its members. I attend Douglass school, 7-B grade. Here is a poem I am fond of. LEONA CHRISTIAN (Age 12) Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with material filled; Our todays and yesterday Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house, where gods may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in the walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky. This poem is a selection submitted by ELIZABETH BLACKWELL (Age 13). The Last Leaf I saw him once before, As he passed by the door, And again The pavement stones resound As he totters o'er the ground, With his cane. They said that in his prime, Ere the pruning knife of Time Cut him down, Not a better man was found By the crier on his round Through the town. And he shakes his feeble head, That it seems as if he said, "They are gone." The mossy marbles rest On the lips that he has pressed In their bloom, And the names he loved to hear Have been carved for many a year On the tomb. My grandmama has said— Poor old lady she is dead— Long ago, That he had a Roman nose, And his cheek was like a rose In the snow. But now his nose is thin, It rests upon his chin Like a staff, And a crook is in his back, And a melancholy crack In his laugh. But the old three cornered hat, And the breeches, and all that Are so queer! And if I should live to be The last leaf upon the tree In the spring, Let them smile, as I do now, At the old forsaken bough Where I cling.

Above our heads the sullen clouds Scud, black and swift, across the sky; Like silent ghosts in misty shrouds Stand out the white lighthouses high. Almost as far as eye can reach I see the close-reefed vessels fly, As fast we flit along the beach, One little sandpiper and I. I watch him as he skims along, Uttering his sweet and mournful cry: He starts not at my fitful song, Nor flash of fluttering drapery, He has no thought of any wrong, He scans me with a fearless eye; Staunch friends are we, well tried and strong, The little sandpiper and I. Comrade, where wilt thou be tonight When the loosed storm breaks furiously? To what warm shelter canst thou fly? I do not fear for thee, though wroth The tempest rushes through the sky; For are we not God's children both, Thou, little sandpiper and I? (Note: Helen, this too, is one of my favorite poems. —C. L. F. THOMAS GREENE BETHUNE By Nannie Harris, Age 12 From the age of five until the time of his death, "Blind Tom" remained America's musical prodegy. One day when but four years old he heard his mistress playing the piano. He listened intently. He loved the strange new sounds and longed to only touch the instrument. That night the household was awakened—they recognized familiar airs—creeping toward the parlor they saw little Tom playing the piano in an ecstasy of delight. This was the introduction of the matchless musical prodigy, who afterward gained world-wide distinction. His fame grew rapidly. Tours for his recitals were soon arranged, and for more than fifty years he astounded all who heard him. Besides mastering a repertoire of 5,000 selections, he could immediately play the most difficult pieces of fourteen to sixteen pages after hearing them only once; making no mistakes, not one false register, slur, discord or omission. If placed at the piano with a musician, he would play perfect bass accompaniment to the treble of the most difficult music he heard for the first time, as he played. Having finished, Tom would immediately take the player's seat and play the entire selection—bass and treble from memory. With his demise America lost an unequalled genius. He was born in slavery, May 25, 1840 in Muscogee County, Georgia, and died July 3, 1908. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

C., under the Act of March 3,1879. “THE OPEN DOOR” “The Open Door,” given as a pageant, under the auspices of the local Atlanta University Club, for Atlanta University, here Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week, provoked this question: Why should the new Negro constantly remind his young people of the savagery and slavery of their foreparents? Why should educated Negroes permit white people to take their young people and train them to appear in a play to remind them of the slavery of their parents and the savagery of their fore- bears—if indeed it’ is not intended to suggest or to imply a present-day savagery among those who have not come under the blessed (?) influence of white Christianity? There is not a race on earth which has not been in slavery at some period in its history. Do you see the teachers and lead- ers of any other race, save the Negro, constantly putting on pa- geants and other- amusements to remind their young people of their former low estate? Hope creates ambition, and ambition is the life-blood of the onward march of a race. The white man of America realizes full well that as long as he can keep the Negro dispirited, with- out hope, without ambition, constantly reminded of his slavery days and Uncle Tom ways, that the white race will be without effective competition and can keep the Negro in subjection, willing to accept whatever is doled out to him and be satisfied. Whenever, and to the extent that, the Negro throws off his slavery habits, catches a ray of hope and becomes inspired with ambition to accomplish something and contribute to civilization, then real competition springs up, and the white man sets about to prevent his former slaves and their descendents from reach- ing an equal plane with him. The Anglo-Saxon conquered the African and placed him in chattel slavery. It is human nature for the conqueror to hold in subjection, the conquered. France taking the Ruhr is an ex- ample. But, there is no good reason for the Negro of America to be constantly reminding himself of his former condition. He must cut loose from the past, burn the bridges behind him, and stand forth in thé sunlight of civilization with the determina- tion to make the best of every opportunity offered—and demand more. We have reached a stage of progress where we should not be so passive. There is a big responsibility upon the edu- cated Negro. It is similar to that of which Jesus spoke when he said: “To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” The youfg people who participated in the “Open Door” did not realize the effect that it would have on them or upon the audience who witnessed the pageant; but there is the responsibility of the promoters and sponsors. England does not even refer to slavery in the West Indies and the West Iidian Negro does not remind his young people of their slavery: Why should the American Negro want to do so? It is because he is led init by white people who craftily or mistakenly keep the idea of inferiority before the Negro. The Open Door was weak in that it led up to “Education” but failed to demonstrate what might be or has been accom- plished as the result of education. It gave the white people’s viewpoint of what they would like to do for us; but did not show jwhat we have doe or could do for ourselves. It could as fit- tingly have been staged in 1866.
