FLOOD DOES BIG DAMAGE HERE--TWO PERSONS DROWNED Monster Crowd to See Potomacs Open Season Thursday First in Local Circulation. Vol. 2, No. 51 FLOOD D Monster ASK HARDING TO REMOVE COL. SHERRILL North Carolinean's Attempt To Extend Segregation Here is Cause In a strong plea to the President, the Civic Center of Affiliated Associations went on record as being against the continuance of Col. Sherill, of North Carolina (a Harding appointee in charge of public parks and grounds) in office. The Association's position was set forth in a letter addressed to President Harding last week. The letter, which was sent by Mr. W. D. Nixon, president and Mr. H. E. Barnett, secretary is as follows: April 30, 1923 To the President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D. C. As the responsible head and director of the policies of this great Republic, we appeal to you to right the wrong that is being perpetrated, under the shadow of the Executive Mansion, against the colored people of every state of the Union. The public parks and grounds provided by the Government for the recreation of the American people are either closed against the colored race or our group is segregated to a designated section or day, thereby Jim Crowing us—in order to enable us to play golf, lawn tennis and other health-giving activities established by the Government for all the citizens. This un-American, humiliating and detestable prejudice in the capital of the Nation on Government grounds is most reprehensible in a free country. Twelve million colored American citizens look to you and confidently expect you to right the wrong and to declare officially the use of the parks as free alike to all Americans. Lieutenant-Colonel Sherrill, in charge of Public Buildings and Grounds is directly responsible for the present unsatisfactory condition as evidenced in the discrimination at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial; the placing of discriminatory signs in the National Rock Creek Park; the persistent endeavor to locate a colored bathing-beach on the Virginia side of the Potomac River and inserting in the War Department estimates, an item for a separate park for colored people which he urged before the Senate Committee on Hearing, and other racial discriminations under the dome of the Capitol. He has done more to incense hostilities, foster race hatred and create contempt for law and order than the combined efforts of Emma Goldman and the Reds to spread disloyalty among the masses. In order to halt this wide-spread dissatisfaction, we ask you as the head of the Government to wipe out this intolerable practice of race-segregation so that foreign Nations may not continue to point the finger of scorn at our Government. We feel, Mr. President, that for the good of our country and the peace and good-will of over twelve millions of colored citizens that Colonel Sherrill should be removed from his present position, and we hereby request that Opens May 10 Six P.M.

Taylor Open Baseball Season The official opening of the baseball season here by The Washington Potomacs under the management of Ben Taylor next Thursday afternoon at the American League Park on Georgia Ave., will be one of the most brilliant affairs in the history of Washington. A grand street parade composed of seventy-five automobiles filled with loyal fans and well wishers will parade through the principal sections of the city and wind up at the American League Park. The parade headed by a big brass band, will form at Third and M Sts., S. W., and parade to Pennsylvania Ave., thence to Executive Ave., pass the Treasury and White House up Pennsylvania Ave., to Washington Circle, thence north on New Hampshire Ave. to T Street, and east on T Street to Sixth and then to the ball park. After arriving at the park, the big program will begin. Mr. S. H. Dudley, well-known sportsman and theatrical magnate, will officially introduce the "Potomacs" to the Washington public. This will be followed with a presentation of a horseshoe of roses to Manager Ben Taylor by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University. With this much of the program over and with everything in readiness for the game, Hon. A. G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia and former member of the West Virginia State Legislature, will toss out the first ball and the main event of the day will then be on. Manager Taylor is giving Washington its first real professional team and the fans of the capital have evidenced much interest in his efforts and on Thursday a crowd of over 10,000 people are expected to go out and give him'a rousing send-off. Many people high in the official life of the city will be in attendance in addition to Hon. A. G. Froe, Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Mr. S. H. Dudley. Among those expected to attend (Continued on page A) this be done that our manhood and our respect for law be not crushed out by prejudice and race discrimination. Respectfully, W. D.

President Drawn Out in Veteran Hospital Fight New York, May 1—President Harding has broken silence on the Tuskegee Hospital situation to inform the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the institution on Tuskegee grounds, for the care of colored veterans of the world war, is to be manned entirely by a colored personnel, including colored doctors and nurses. This decision ends the fear that had prevailed for some time, that an attempt would be made through the Veterans' Bureau to man the colored hospital with white doctors and nurses leaving only menial labor for colored people. The letter of Mr. Christian, directed to the Association, is as follows: THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 28, 1923 My dear Mr. Seligmann: Your communication of April 19 has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy matter to perfect such an organization under the limitations of the Civil Service, but the program is being worked out in a most encouraging and gratifying way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race the opportunity to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly public service. Yours sincerely, (Signed) Geo. B. Christian, Jr. Secretary to the President. Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

A half holiday has been declared by local fans to celebrate the occasion, which will be preceded by an automobile parade headed by a couple of bands through all sections of the city. The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, for years holding rank as one of the country's great teams, will oppose Ben Taylor and his array of stars on opening day. With the approval of the weather man it is predicted that fully 15,000 baseball lovers will crowd the park, shatter all previous attendance records for Colored baseball here, and welcome the new era—the coming of Ben Taylor to our city. Only four men in the Potomac line-up—which appears in another column of this paper—have ever performed in this city before. Lewis and Ridgeley appeared here as members of the Baltimore Black Sox. Ben Taylor and Spees Clark played here during the war as members of the Indianapolis A. B. C. club on a barnstorming trip. Amorig the men that will be seen here for the first time are Elais Brown, the heavy hitting outfielder, who campaigned with the New York Bacharachs last season; William Ross Indianapolis last year; Albritton, a New Yorker, who demonstrated class by trimming the Richmond Giants handily Tuesday; Bullet Campbell, fast ball marvel from Boston; Williams, the sensation of the Western League in 1921; Jefferson, gardener of professional experience from Pennsylvania; Wicks, outfielder from same locality; Goodrich, the greatest third baseman ever developed in Texas; Washington, the flashy fielder from Georgia; Eggleston, a leading backstop in the West for the last couple of seasons; and Woods, a proverbial spark plug and experienced player. It is not unlikely that the above personnel has the edge on any in the country. Ben Taylor and Clarke are two of the three men John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants is reported to have said he would give $100,000 for if they were white.

It is their desire to raise a budget of $1,000 for that purpose, to maintain the camp and buy the necessary equipment. This effort has been much neglected by the citizens of the District and plans are now on foot to enable everyone to contribute. The white Boy Scouts have excellent accommodations at Camp Roosevelt, where they have floors in their tents, individual cots to sleep on, a large frame dining hall and assembly popular little third baseman, formerly with Hildale and Foster's American Giants; Hampton with the A.

They also employ an expert cook, doctor, trained nurse and camp clerk. An advanced course in Scouting is offered covering a period of three seasons in camp. Our colored boys need equally as much if we are to compete in later years with leadership of same standards. Our Scout leaders desire to employ a portion of these trainers, particularly the cook, trained nurse, and doctor, and as many of the others as possible. The boys need floors in their tents and other essential camp equipment. There is an urgent call at once for funds with which to secure a part of this outfit. The amount raised to date is $36.69.

He is trained physically, mentally and morally. One dollar contributed in this drive affords training and joy to one boy for a day and a half.

PRICE 5 CENTS DROWNED Thursday Anacostia and Deanwood Hit By Big Flood The cloudburst which struck the northeastern and southeastern sections of the city Saturday night, carried death and destruction in its wake. Mrs. W. H. Carter, 4428 Douglass Street, N. E., was drowned while on her way home in the taxi cab of James Brawner. The flood which swept down the Benning valley, tore up the concrete paving of Kenworth Avenue, near the Benning viaduct. The car dropped into this hole and was washed thru the big culvert and was found about 220 yards west of where it went into the water. Mr. Brawner escaped without injury. Much damage was recorded in this section. In Anacostia, the breaking of a small dam to the East of the Insane Asylum, on Stickfoot Creek, let an avalanche of water down Sheridan road, which carried the foot bridges, fences and other debris with it. It was this avalanche that struck the autos of John Cope and Vivian H. Tibbs, near Nicholas Avenue. Mr. Cope had rescued two ladies who were in his machine when Tibbs crawled out of his sedan onto the top of Cope's car. A floating bridge struck the car and Tibbs went into the swollen stream, which carried him to the big culvert running under Nicholas Avenue, west to the Potomac River, the distance of about a half mile. Water rose about fifteen feet in Sheridan Road and filled all of the homes along this street with mud and silt from the back water, which came up as the culvert became jammed with logs and other debris. Searching partigs spent all day Sunday looking for Vivian H. Tibbs, but his body had not been found up to Friday morning. Mr. Tibbs lived at 326 D Street, S. E. A mass meeting was held Monday night at the Birney School in Anacostia, by the Hillsdale Citizens Association assisted by the Garfield Citizens Association. The object of the meeting was to raise funds for the family of Vivian H. Tibbs, and to discuss plans to prevent a similar occurrence. Jesse H.

She did not want to dance for Herod nor did she want to attract him. Her dance then would necessarily be a chaste and restrained one. "I felt that an impassioned dance would be entirely out of keeping with Salome's emotion at the time." PULLMAN PORTER TIPS E. Moore, electrician; H. C. Cavens, cleaner; S.

OLDEN TO ADDRESS MASS MEETING Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University will be the principal speaker at a mass meeting to be held Sunday May 6, at 3:30 p.m. at the John Wesley Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran Sts., N.W. Another prominent speaker at this meeting will be Rev J. C. Olden, whose powerful appeals have marked him as a great leader. This meeting will be the fourth of a series of meetings being held every Sunday during the Membership drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is now in full swing. It was announced from the offices of the association that it looks as if the N. A. A. C. P. will go "over the top" with a greater enrollment than ever. SEGREGATION ON OCEAN LINER New York, April 28.—An invisible color line was drawn across the dining room the Cunard liner Albania before she sailed for England today, On one side of the line sat 141 white passengers, on the other 34 members of a troupe of colored "plantation songsters" bound for London to stage their musical revue. The fog of discord descended on the Albania about the time set for departure, when the colored women, laden with orchids, with their male escorts staggering under diamond ornaments, topped the gangway. The 141 whites formed a line at the purser's window and 141 protests were filed accompanied by threats to cancel passages. The color line was the captain's solution. Henry Ford says a man can earn enough in six hours to live on a week. Sounds plausible too, when you think of the amount lost at the Bowie Race Track on long shots: * * * * * When the women get absolute equal rights they'll probably eliminate the engagement ring on the pretext that the installments are perfectly bore- some. * * * The Easter candy manufacturers who used shellac to give the candy a funny gloss no doubt had in mind this text: "They 'shall act' funny."

Prince Charlotte, N. C.—Smith University's baseball team has had one of the most successful season, in its history, having won nine games out of the eleven on its schedule for the term. Notable are the victories over Union University, Bennet College, Livingstone College, Albion Academy, A. & T. College, Mary Potter School and Lutheran College. Coach R. E. Leach and Manager J. R. Harris have done excellent work in placing Smith University's record in athletics on such a high scale this term. The team had only four of its varsity players in the beginning, namely; McCorey, Russell, Gordon, and McIver; but Allen, Douglass, Marshall, Johnson, Russell, Williams, Dawson, Harris, and Goore filled with credit the vacancies. MOREHOUSE DEFEATS MORRIS BROWN "Big Bud" Bryant had the better part of a pitcher's duel with Harold when the Morehouse Tigers defeated Morris Brown in a thrilling contest by the score of 4-3. Bryant allowed the Purple and Black boys only 5 hits and sent 8 men back to the bench via the strikeout route, while Harrold allowed 8 hits and struck out 3. The feature of the game was the sensational fielding and batting of Rodgers, at short, for Morehouse. He gained 2 doubles and handled 9 chances without an error. VA. NORMAL DEFEATS LYNCHBURG Petersburg, Va., April 26—In a game characterized by a lack of pep, and punctuated by costly errors on the part of the visitors, the Hill Toppers sent the Lynchburg pitching ace to the showers, and pounded on a second, to the tune of 14-3, in a loosely played seven innings game today.

Hasbrooke After losing a game on April 20th to Wilmington College by the score 8 to 5 the Wilberforce baseball team went back home and ran away with the fast Earlham College from Richmond Ind. The visitors scored first on two hits and a walk but Wilberforce came back in the third and put three markers across and from then on it was all Wilberforce. The hitting and fielding of Latting, Huff, Willette and Springs featured. The pitching of Jones was of the first class, letting the visitors down with 5 hits. The team as a whole did very well and by the end of next week will be in top form. Wilberforce will play Capitol next week and expects to have a hard game. Since losing to them last year Coach Pettyjohn will have the team primed for Capitol on May 5th. A good sized crowd was on hand to LeDroit Tigers and Piedmonts Score Second Victory.

GAMES AT ST. PAUL At Bricks, N. C., on April 23rd, a fast game was featured by the heavy hitting and brilliant fielding by the opposing teams St. Paul's superb nine shut out the aggressive machine of Joseph K.

Adams pitched shut out ball while on the mound four innings. The losers tallied their only run when Milan the first man to face Smith walked, stole second and third and scored when Collins fumbled Dwiggins grounder, KeKnner's hitting was a feature. Moten showed up well in the Asbury outfield.

Erratic fielding by Blackwell and Collins and poor catching by Madden caused the orange and black aggregation to lose its equilibrium; and it was not until the fourth inning that St. Paul forced up and settled down to old form. After the third inning the game was an interesting encounter. Veritable sportsmanship took precedence over everything. St. Paul— R. H. E. LINCOLN DEFEATS HOWARD By L. J. K. Wells Lincoln University, Pa., April 27—Lincoln University's baseball team defeated Howard here yesterday 14 to 6. The game was featured by the timely hitting of Lincoln's whole team, and in two big innings they sewed the game up—and more. Both teams used southpaws, Wilson hurling for Lincoln and Taylor for Howard. Howard got a three-run lead early on the game; but in the fifth inning Caver beat out an infield roller and began a rally which, with hits and misplays by Howard's infield, netted five runs. Howard caught up in KAISER KNOCKED OUT, BUT PIEDMONTS WIN The Piedmonts went into a tie with the LeDroit Tigers in the twilight league standing by defeating the Oriental Tigers in a well played game Sunday at South Capitol and P Sts., by the score 9 to 5. A large crowd viewed the game. Kaiser started but gave away to Bland in the fifth. White started for the Orientals and after the first, pitched stellar ball until taken out.

TENNIS CLUB TO HAVE FORMAI OPENING The James E. Walker Tennis Club, 5th and W Streets, consisting of all the stars of Washington—some of whom have been and now are national champions—and a host of prospective talent will take their first "crack" at the tennis ball on Saturday, May 5, at 2 p.m., when the court will have its formal opening. The courts 5th and W Streets, have been re-conditioned and have been put in first class shape. Lovers of the tennis sport are cordially invited to attend the opening game; which is free of cost. Jack Johnson in Cuba Jack Johnson landed in Havana, Cuba, last week where he well engage in two fights, the first on May the sixth with Farmer Lodge and another opponent on the twentieth. It is also said that Jack is trying to persuade some Cuban promoter to match him with Harry Wills. If successful, the battle will be held in the new arena STONEWALLS LOOSE The St. Cyprians opened their season with a victory over the Stonewall A. C. by a score of 10 to 4 on the latter's field. Howard Tennis Tournament Postponed Because of the heavy rains of the last week-end, the annual Howard University tennis tournament scheduled for this week has been postponed until May 19th. The changed date has met the approval of those listed to play, since it will give them three weeks longer to get into condition. Howard Lands Second Place in Relay Pitted against such formidable foes as Bates, Brown, Colgate, Montreal and other Colleges, the fleet Howard relay quartet made the speedy Bates combination step the second fastest time of the Carnival (3 min. 26 sec.) to win the class B group relay. Howard's Blue and White combination, running in the following order: Bridges, Kraft, Bright and Robinson, although forced to be contented with second place, gave one of the greatest exhibitions ever witnessed at the Carnival. In winning the Carnival pentathlon, Charles West, the sensational all-round athlete from Washington and Jefferson, achieved a feat never before accomplished by a Race athlete. West finished first in javelin throw and 1500 meter, tied for first in 200 meter, landed fourth in the broad jump and eighth in the discuss throw. His grand average (adding all finishes) totaled 16 points. West also ran as clean-up man on the W. & J. relay team which won the Middle Atlantic States Relay Championship. Lincoln's relay team (McBrown, Trigg, McLean and Webb) showed a sparkling performance to flash across the wire an easy winner (in 3 min. 33 sec.) over a large field including Gallaudet, Geneva and St. Bonaventure. Dehart Hubbard had little competition in taking the broad jump and hop, step and jump events, setting up a new record in the latter event. The local high school teams, competing in Class B which included the cream of the country, failed to place, although both were well up the entire route and displayed creditable efforts. Anderson and Young of Howard were entered in the field events but failed to place. Bordentown's relay team finished in second place in the preparatory class. Howard Track Meet May 12 Director of Physical Education Watson has announced that everything is in readiness for the fourth annual Howard track and field meet to be held May 12th on the University campus. All members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association are expected to be represented with relay teams and individual performers. Wilberforce will also send a group of track warriors.

Fox believes that the vam- pire is due for a return to popularity, and, as he has an uncanny sense of the publie taste, there is no doubt that the vamp is coming back, and Miss Taylor in “A Fool There was” is the newest of the type, who will be seen in the picture at the Broadway ‘Theatre, beginning next Thursday, May 10th for three days. The truth is, that the publie, as Fox no doubt knows it, is a bit fed up on namby-pamby characters. ‘The “vampire has reigned in every age. "Like the poor, she is always with us.

[ens wer eam tne BY J. Q. ‘A. ‘WARD (Continued from last-week) If -we have not, as Mr. Taft sug- gests, grown callous, we-shall not fail to be impressed by Ward's elevated sentiment here, and valso by his -ex- cellent ‘execution, -What he has de- picted in these subordinate fieures, EUR Ra, Ses 5 | eames WS Si ee s.. | ee ip Sig. aw | on ae te Figure on the Beecher Monument, Brooklyn, N. Y., by J..Q. A. Ward. ‘seems not to be the merely perfune- tory posing of models; -we get the'im- pression that this young woman sand ‘these children are not obeying some- one’s suggestions but are responding to impulses of their own. ‘And yet their appearances and actions partake sufficiently of the idealistic to relieve the group from the commonplaceness which often results from the striving for detailed realism or‘from the piec- ing out with accessories. (Footnote—It is at that point that so many ‘artists’ “go to pieces” and others become oppressive. ‘The differences between the artistic and the commonplace -often lies in what Mr. Taft calls restraint. Imagine, for example, in this case, this freed- jvoman conventionally “made up" with any or all of the following: big earrings; a heavy necklace of dog's ‘teeth; a conspicuously knotted head- Inandkerehiet; ‘a liberally patched frock, slouchily worn; a tied-in-a- bandanna bundle, on a stick; maybe broken chains fast to her ankles; and other supposedly suggestive concomi- tants.) As ‘for the freedwoman, her attitude and expression bespeaks a ‘saddened humility, yet snprecitive ‘gratitude; but there is no suggestion ‘of abjectness nor appearance of be- wilderment. -Caffin, in his book already men- tioned, comments briefly on this mon- ument. He says: “The pedestal of the ‘Beecher’ is embellished with figures. On one side a woman and on the other a little girl depositing a wreath, and a boy steady- ing the latter figure. ‘They are well-| modeled in natural and graceful move- ment, but they impart a touch of one | timentality, so alien to Ward's habit, and indeed, to the sprit of the statue, that I wonder whether they were not a concession to the wish of the sub-| seribers.” { Caffin’s statement carries what seems to be an unjustifiable inference. | Indeed, he seems bent on denying to Ward any sentiment, or any “senti- mentality,” at any rate. It will be recalled ‘that he said of Ward’s “Freedman,” that in it-there was “no intrusion -of the seulptor’s feelings.” Nevertheless, Jarves had -said he had “seen nothing in our scalpture more| pol iting or compréhensively elo- “Treiman ighy expr ‘1 a” «pression » to. Ward's “courage and genius.”| statement: “Little ean we of a young- er generation appreciate the emotion which was wrought into this souve- nir of the Great Rebellion.” I am a- fraid that, regarding one matter at least, Mr. Caffin,—in common with many 6f the present-day contempora- ries—unconsciously perhaps, has grown just:a little “callous.” But whether’ Ward's work here par- takes of sentimentality or not, I am glad to quote «with heary approval, afew more words from Mr. Taft's tribute to'this “upright and generous man and artist.” “Mr. Ward is so much of a sculptor that +he cannot do bad »work—just as he is so much of a-man that ‘he can- mot conceive trifling and unworthy things.” (To be continued) A CHILD'S PRAYER Oh, Heavenly Father, List tomy prayer, ‘A home in heaven For me prepare. Oh, gentle Saviour, Lead me aright— To live by Thy side In Thy pure light. Oh, Heavenly Father, Master divine, Answer my prayers— T'm wholly Thine.

Beta Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity ‘THE REPUBLIC. OF.LIBERIA By A. Folumbo I. DeWalt ‘A Native Liberian and a Dental Student of Howard University I.propose to present in a series of writings some facts about the Repub- lic of Liberia, which I hope will not only prove to be of interest to the readers of the ‘Tribune, bat will-shed some light upon ‘the Republic and clear up some of the “points which might, heretofore, have been vague in your minds. I feel that the American people know far too little about the Republic of Liberia. Being an offspring of the United States, I am of the opinion that the history of Liberia should be taught in all of the Public Schools of the United States; and if those in au- ‘thority will not see to it that this is done, in justice to self, every Negro should see to it that he is well enough acquainted swith said history ‘to be able to speak intelligently of it atall times. ‘As poor as is the educational sys- tem in Liberia, the average first grade pupil can rattle off the names of the different. states of the American Un- ion, the dates when they entered the Union, all of the Presidents of the United States, as well-as many facts about most of the countries of Europe. Yet, I have had some to ask me such questions as: “Is Africa as large as the United States?” “Who is the King of Africa?”, ete., when if the different nations of Europe holding sway in Africa should take up arms against each other there would result one of the most bloody wars recorded upon the pages of history. This shows that there has been negligence some- where down the line, and it is with this end in view that we are planning to consider briefly her historieal, po- litical, social, ceonomie, and religious conditions in the subsequent articles, Just as Berkley’s “Star of Empire” on the American continent com- ‘manded the attention of humanity nearly three centuries ago, and the king of Belgium enlisted the great nations of Europe to follaw the “New Star in the East” not many years ago, ‘so to-day the parellel holds good in Liberia and we might truly say that |a new star has appeared in the East. As we view the history of Liberia, ‘there are to be seen many things ‘which are in common with that of America, The men who colonized the new settlement now constituting the United States of America, were most- ly the descendents of slaves under successive Roman, Saxon, Danish, and Norman lords. ‘They learned self-government as colonists only after five generations of protectorate under the mother coun- try. Their earliest settlement alohg the coast and along the river bottoms, proved unhealthful, sterile, and inhos- pitable, Jamestown was soon e- serted. Chester and Plymouth were left to decay; commerce often was hampered; and public debt seemed ir- retrievable, Youth was sent to the mother country to be educated; and churches sought both support and ministers from the mother country. Liberia was settled only a few years ago by slavse just freed without prop- erty or education, In one generation we were nominally independent, hav- ing our own Exceutive, Judiciary, and PAGE SEVEN —_—_——\—— DO NOT > USE THE WORD “NIGGER” Legislature. No nation on the face ‘of the globe can boast of such accom plishments in a similar period of time. ‘The first steps toward colonizing were taken by Paul Cuffee, a Negro of New ‘Bedford, Mass. This bold leader, full of zeal for the civilization of Africa took, in 1815 forty colored people in his own ship and at his own expense from ‘Boston: to Sierra Leone, West ‘Africa, which was a colony ¢s- tablished on the coast by Great Brit- ain for the reception of slaves cap- ‘tured from the Americans in the Rev- ofttionary''War. But it was not until the second term of President Jeder- son’s administration that serious thought was given to the founding of what later ‘became the Republic of Liberia and this was only after Washington, “Ayres, Johnson and others, reading the signs of the times, foresaw the need. (To be continued) P. S.—I will be delighted to give any information bearing on the Re- public of Liberia if persons desiring said information will ‘address me at 1826 Fourth Street, N. W. RUTH SCORES: Ralph: Chink! Chink! Chinaman— Ruth: Oh, Ralph, you should be ‘ashamed of yourself, You shouldn’t call him— Ralph—Ah, gee! “You scared to tease.a chink? I'm glad I'm not a girl. Ruth: No, I’m not afraid to tease a Chinaman, but I would be ashamed to call one a chink, Ralph: It's no harm is it? Rath: Yes it’s a harm, It’s a hurt. Do you like for white boys to call you tigger?
