IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES TO MARK BURIAL OF ARMY VETERAN IN NATIONAL CEMETERY
The funeral of the late Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., who died in Africa, January 12, 1922, will be held in the Amphitheatre at Arlington National Cemetery, Friday, June 1st at 1:30 p.m.
It was erroneously published in several papers last week that the funeral was to be last Monday; this caused many people keen disappointment.
The funeral services will be in charge of the James E. Walker Post No. 26, American Legion. The Committee on the funeral is in charge of Mr. West A. Hamilton.
Practically every colored school in the city will close on the day of the funeral so the teachers and students may take part in the ceremonies. The body is expected to arrive at Union Station early Friday morning there until 11:30 a.m. Floral offerings should be sent to Union Station (east side) not later than 9:30 a.m., where they will be received and properly placed. Many magnificent floral tributes will be sent by organizations and by individuals.
Government officials will excuse all veterans who desire to attend the funeral and a number of the employees will be permitted to view the procession. The wife and family of Col. Young will come from Wilberforce, Ohio., to attend the ceremonies.
Committee and Escort
The Committee in charge is planning a solemn and dignified cortege to escort the body from Union Station to Arlington and simple but impressive services in the Amphitheatre at Arlington.
The escort will consist of the following: police escort; Co. A, 1st Separate Battalion, Infantry, D. C. N. G.; Battalion, Senior R. O. T. C., Howard University; 24th Regiment, High School Cadets, Washington, D. C.; clergy; floats carrying floral tributes; caisson; honorary pallbearers; family; funeral party; Grand Army of the Republic; United Spanish American War Veterans; Army and Navy Union; American Legion; uniformed unaffiliated veterans; veterans in civilian attire; police guard.

City Officials Well Pleased With Suburban Gardens
HENRY FORD ON RACE RELATIONS
In a recent editorial in his paper, the "Deaborn Independent," Henry Ford has this timely word to say relative to race relations: "There is no need of race hatred in America, even though there is a race question. . . The race that calls itself superior can prove its superior ability only by superior ability to help others, and can attain its racial destiny only as helper of the others.
"The Negro is a human being capable of integrity, loyalty, domestic peace and prosperity, and as a human being is entitled to opportunity to develop and exhibit those qualities and to enjoy his natural human rights.
"Where the Negro has been given opportunity he has proved a community asset; his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. Race correction by education is always the superior way, and not coercion.
"The Negro should be given a chance, and should be regarded with entire justice."
Boy Scouts Not Getting Proper Public Support
May Not Get Camp This Summer Unless Citizens Respond Better
With but a short time remaining before camp time, the Boy Scout campaign committee is far short of the goal desired in raising funds for their summer camp.
An urgent appeal comes again for public support in this worthwhile enterprise which is to help an organization that is interested in the development of boys.
The Bazaar given at Murray Casino for the benefit of the Boy Scouts was not well attended and the committee reports that they not only failed to realize a substantial amount for the camp fund but they incurred an indebtness as a result of it, leaving a deficit on hand.
An eleventh hour rally is the only thing now that can save the situation and give to the Colored Boy Scouts a camp they so well deserve, similar to (Continued on page 6)
When Suburban ardens opened its gates two years ago the skeptical were legion. Two seasons of operation has knocked skepticism into the proverbial "cocked hat." It had been thought that a pleasure park for colored people could not be run without misconduct and nuisance. Sympathetic men and women of both groups were doubtful and when the gardens opened they evinced noticeable anxiety. The promoters of the project, however, were not so. They had faith in their own and insisted that if a Glen Echo could be maintained for one group a Suburban Gardens could be maintained for another group—and they tried it.
Commenting upon the success of the effort, after two seasons of operation, Inspector Shelby of the Police Department said last week that the officials having charge of Suburban Gardens have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Police Department that such an amusement park can be run in an orderly and approved manner and the Police Department wants
LAWYERS WILL MEET IN CHICAGO JUNE 6-7-8
LAWYERS WILL MEET IN CHICAGO JUNE 6-7-8
Will No Longer Meet As Part of the National Negro Business League
According to Perry W. Howard, president of the National Negro Bar Association, elaborate plans are being perfected for the entertainment of the legal fraternity at its fifteenth annual session, which will be held in Chicago, Illinois, June 6, 7 and 8. The National Negro Bar Association will be the guest of the Cook County Bar Association, of which W. E. Mollison, a prominent attorney of Chicago, is the president. Mrs. Violette Anderson, assistant prosecuting attorney for the city of Chicago, is the chairman of the entertainment committee of the local bar association. Not only will there be discussions of intricate legal problems and lectures on the several main branches of the law, but several gaieties will enliven the meeting.
The officers are especially eager to make this meeting the greatest in the history of the organization. It marks a departure from the regular custom. Heretofore the National Negro Bar Association has met at the same time and place and as an auxiliary organization of the National Negro Business League. However, a special committee, composed of W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md.; Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga.; Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond, Ind.; William C. Matthews, of Boston, Mass.; S. D. McGill, of Jacksonville, Fla.; S. D. Redmond, of Jackson, Miss.; W. T. Andrews, of Baltimore, Md.; D. W. Perkins, of Jacksonville, Fla., and James N. Simms, of Cheiago, Illinois, met in Washington in December last and decided that thereafter the bar association would function as an independent organization and selected Chicago, Illinois, as its first separate meeting place.
All colored attorneys in good standing with their local bars and admitted to practice before the highest courts of their state are eligible for membership and are urged to be present and participate in the deliberations of this body with a view to making the National Negro Bar Association to the colored legal fraternity what the American Bar Association is to the white legal fraternity.
to help in whatever way it can. The whole-hearted co-operation of the Department is freely tendered. Major Sullivan joins in this expression of commendation.
This statement from the Police Department is highly gratifying to the officials of Suburban Gardens and should be to all of Washington.
Thousands of young people gather there daily and make merry in the dance, at the games, and on the rides, and at eleven thirty return to their homes happier and healthier.
Suburban Gardens offers a wholesome outlet to the stored-up energy of thousands of Washington's young people.
Youth thirsts for pleasure as the heart panthet after the water brook—and Suburban Gardens offers that pleasure under the brilliance of three thousand electric lights.
You may have said it couldn't be done, but they did it.
The city now thanks these men for their vision and effort.

FELLOWSHIP FO DR.
JUST CONTINUED
Some three years ago Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, Ill., through the National Research Council established the Rosenwald Fellowship at Howard University for Dr. Ernest E. Just, Professor of Zoology of Howard University.
Dr. Just has recently been informed that this fellowship will be continued by Mr. Rosenwald for an additional two years as the arrangements have "worked out so completely to the satisfaction of Mr. Rosenwald and the National Research Council" which organization "has followed with a great deal of interest the gratifying output of research which was made possible by this exceedingly effective and satisfactory co-operation between Howard University and the National Research Council." During the three years that Dr. Just has had the benefit of the Rosenwald Fellowship he has published ten papers covering his researches on fertilization, artificial parthenogenesis, and cell division in the important scientific journals of the country. These papers are recognized as valuable contributions to biology.
Prominent Men To Explain Big Finance Corp.
The advertisement in another column of a campaign by Allied Industrial Finance Corporation to sell $100,000.00 of its capital stock, in this City, is an important business announcement. This Company puts forth one of the most ambitious programs ever announced by Colored people, that is: to so combine the money of our people that the vast sums now lying idle, or locked up in banks, may be brought forth and put to work to help our people to buy homes and to branch out in all kinds of business. The men who are serving as Officers and Directors of Allied Industrial are among our foremost business and professional men, who have made success in their individual affairs. It is refreshing to note that these men have combined their strength and talents and are not afraid to embark in a big financial enterprise. This will open up to our people everywhere a new financial era of very great promise.
The public meetings began on Monday night of this week with addresses by Dr. Emmett J. Scott at Ebenezer M. E. Church and by Prof. John R. Hawkins, at Zion Baptist Church. On Wednesday night J. Scott at Whitefield McKinlay addressed the meeting at the First Baptist Church, Deanwood. The results of these meetings have given the management much satisfaction.
As a part of this campaign public meetings, to which everybody is invited, will be held next week, as follows: Monday, May 28th, at Metropolitan Baptist Church, R, St., between 12th and 13th Sts., N. W., Rev. M. W. D. Norman, Pastor, at which Dr. Scott will be the principal speaker. Monday, May 28th, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Tenleytown, Rev. S. H. Norwood, Pastor, at which Mr. Whitefield McKinlay will make the principal address. Tuesday, May 29, at Lane C. M. E. Church, 14th and C. Sts., N. E., Rev. Paul L. Moore, Pastor at which Mr. John R. Hawkins will be the principal speaker. Thursday, May 31st, at Mt. Vernon M. E. Church, Capitol Ave., Ivy City, Rev. A. J. Carr, Pastor, at which Mr. Whitefield McKinlay will make the chief address.

Company C of Armstrong Gets Second and E of Dunbar, Third
Before a capacity attendance at the American League Park, Thursday, Company B of Dunbar High School walked off first with the first prize in the competitive drill, under the leadership of Captain Lowell C. Wormley. The second prize went to Company C of Armstrong with James Walker, captain. Third prize was won by Company E of Dunbar, under Captain James Berman Walker. The Battalion Drill was won by Armstrong with Maj. Hillard Shamwell, commanding. This battalion was composed of Companies D, G, L, and L. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, a member of the School Board, pinned the diamond studded emblem on the breast of Captain Wormley of the winning company.
The 24th Regiment, composed of five companies from Armstrong, five companies from Dunbar and one company from Shaw Junior High, was reviewed by Lt. Col. Benjamin O. Davis, U. S. A., now serving as Professor of Military Science at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. He is the ranking officer of color now in the U. S. Army. He was detailed here by the War Department for this duty, as was also Maj. John E. Green, of Wilberforce University, who headed the list of judges. The other two judges were Maj. E. L. Webster, of the District National Guard, retired and 1st Lieut. Benjamin D. Boyd, O. R. C.
In addition to the teacher's diamond studded medal, which went to the winning company, Company B of Dunbar also received the winning flag and a gold medal; the second prize was a silver medal and the third a bronze medal. This is the first time for a company from Dunbar to win since 1920, when Company K led by Captain William Mason captured the honors.
The first unit of the cadets in the colored public schools was organized in 1889, by Lt. Col. Arthur Brooks, D. C. N. G. retired. The organization has steadily grown to a Regiment of eleven companies with a Regiment Band of forty-two pieces. The drill Thursday was the greatest attraction of the School year. The colors of both the major high schools were much in evidence among the throng thta filled the park which was estimated at 25,000 people. The drill this year began at 9:30 a.m. and each half hour thereafter, with an hour off at noon, a new company entered the field until four o'clock, when the battalions held their competition. Superintendent F. W. Ballou arrived at five o'clock, in time for the review, and occupied the box of Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. Captain, Lowell C. Wormley; 1st Lieutenant Togo D.

You will find a concrete motor road via Bladenburg as far as Lanham, thence about two miles of country road in the bright moonlight. The W. B. & A. will bring you direct to Buena Vista.
The wives of King TUT will wear "sheik" costumes. As the King is not a jealous 20th century husband you will find agreeable dancing partners. The Nobles will see that the ladies shall have no excuse to be wall flowers.
PROGRAM:
Tuesday, May 29—King Tut awakes from 3,000-years' sleep. 8 P. M.
Wednesday, May 30—Holiday picnic, 10 A. M. to 6 P. M.
Wednesday, May 30—King Tut feasts with his Nobles, 8 P. M.
Thursday, May 31—King Tut holds reunion of his 24 wives, 8 P. M.
Friday, Junt 1—King Tut gathers his 80 children, 8 P. M.
Saturday, June 2—King Tut visits United States, 8 P. M.
Monday, June 4—King Tut selects a Maryland Queen, 8 P. M.
Single Admission, 25 cents. Season ticket (7 admissions) $1.00.

Murrey M. Watkins, the “Hell
Fighter,” the “Black Napoleon,” etc.
was given a sentence of eighteer
months this week in the Police Court.
Watkins was convicted on three
charges and was given a six months
sentence in each one.
Watkins was arrested in New York
City and brought back here by Detee-
tive Sergeant Paul Jones. It was
charged that Watkins, who had bogus
credentials with the names of Seere-
tary of Slate Hughes, Sir Thomas
Lipton and Theodore Roosevelt signed
to them, canvassed the city selling
loadstones, African diamonds wrapped
in sturgeon skin, and coal which he
claimed he got from the government.
He claimed he secured the diamonds
and loadstones while traveling in Af-
rica with former President Roosevelt.
‘Two charges of larceny after trust
and one charge of false pretense were
lodged against Watkins. He preyed
on the poorer element of people and
flim flamed quite a few people out of
their hard earned money.

VALUABLE PROPERTY
Rev. E. D. W. Jones, pastor of
Union Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church on
23rd St., announced at board meeting
this week that the church had pur-
chased a piece of property, comprising
four homes on L St, adjacent to the
property now owned by the church.
The new addition with the property
already owned on 23rd Street, gives
the church nearly half the block.
The new addition will be used as a
site for a new church to meet the
needs of the now overerowded one on
23rd street. Since taking charge of
this church Rev. Jones has pushed it
to the front, and it is today one of the
most flourishing in the Zion connee-
tion.
In the recent meeting of the confer-
ence here, Rey. Jones was unanimous-
ly endorsed for the Bishopric, and as
a result will carry a solid delezation
from this conference to the General
Conference which meets in Indianap-
olis, Ind., next year.

was made this week by the Board of
Directors of the bank, Mr. Lewis,
who is the founder of the bank, has

he can afford to give and carry on his
other work.

ever, no action was taken as to the
selection of a successor, but it is ex-
pected that at the next regular meet-
ing of the board someone will b:

REY. FRANCIS GRIMKE HANDS
IN RESIGNATION
Last Sunday morning during service
at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian
Church, announcement was made that
the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, pastor for
many years, would resign shortly and
take a long needed rest.
Dr. Grimke will be urged, however
to become pastor emeritus, in order
that the church may not lose his su-
perior Christian influence that has
made the association so pleasant, be-
tween him and his members for nearly
half a century. , .
Dr. Grimke is well known here
having been active in many civic
movements: He is a graduate of Lin-
coln University and at one time took
sharp issue with his Alma Mater be-
cause of the non-employment of
Colored Professors. Rev. Grimke is a
member of the Board of Trustees o!
Howard University. He may take a
trip to Europe this summer.
Music F
By Wellington A. Adams
The annual Music Festival an¢
Carnival, May 17, 18 and 19th, a
Dunbar High School was a unique
affair to say the least, the main at
traction being the artists’ recital ir
the auditorium on the first even-
ing May 17th; Sonoma. Talley
pianist and Marion Cumbo, cellist
both of New York City .
Mr. Cumbo opened the program
and immediately impressed the audi.
ence with his striking personality and
confident manner. With the firs
sweep of his bow one could note
genuine musicianship as he played
Corelli's “Sonata.” In Boccherini’
“Rondo” he displayed splendid technic
in his allegro movement.
In “Dedication” by Popper and the
“Swan” by Saint Saens he displayed
rare tone, superb phrasing and mark-
ed interpretation as in them the
‘cello under his masterly stroke
sounded the depths of human emotion
in its sweet deep tones of flutelike
voice. Mr. Cumbo possesses a fine
bow arm, and best of all, intelligent
musicianship.
Miss Talley, the pianist, appeared ir
two groups of pleasing classics. Her
opening number, “Chaconne” bs
Bach Busoni which none but a rea
musician can execute, was handled
with almost faultless rendition.
Her chording, seale passages an¢
so forth were done with strict in
terpretive conception of the com-

‘covered in the City of Davenport,
Towa on September 18, 1895. Two
‘are to have credit for this great dis-
covery: Daniel David Palmer, a mag-
‘netic healer, and Mr, Harvey Lillard,
Superintendent of the buliding in
which Mr. Palmer had his office, A
warm friendship existed between the
two gentlemen, Mr, Lillard had been
suffering from rheantism several
‘years, and often took massage treat-
ment from the magnetic healer,
_ One occasion Mr. Palmer noticed a
protrusion of a vertebra of the spine.
This he pushed into its normal posi-
tin, after which Mr. Lillard instantly
arose from the table, and said, “Mr.
Palmer, what have you done? I have
been deaf in one ear for seventeen
years, and I can now hear well as
ever.”
‘This took place twenty-seven years
ago. Me, Palmer was an aged man at
‘the time, He has passed to his re-
ward.

health and normal hearing. He is an
American Negro,a modest gentle-
man, and one who enjoys a large cir-
cle of friends. Mr. Palmer was a

VIRGINIA NORMAL WINS INTER-
COLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Lynchburg, Va. May 18—The fast Hill Toppers nine from Petersburg continued their rampage through the Colored intercollegiate teams by defeating Lynchburg Seminary team here today to the tune of 11 to 3. As usual the game was featured by the heavy hitting of the Hill Toppers coupled with the superb pitching of "Slim Armstead," who added one more to his long list of victories.
By defeating the Seminary team, the Hill Toppers clinched the championship of the intercollegiate association having lost only two games this season—Union and Hampton—while Union her nearest rival lost to Lynchburg, Virginia Normal and Lincoln.
Armstead pitched steady throughout having but one bad inning—the unlucky seventh—when Seminary touched him for four hits netting their three tallies.

Howard Ends Season With Win Over Lincoln

Both teams batted hard. The catching and throwing of Higgins was exceptional.

WILLS-DEMPSEY BOUT LOOMS
Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, has spoken. Tired of having his proteges side-tracked and ignored on all sides this sanguine individual last week wrote the New York Boxing Commission asking for enlightment as to the reason Wills has repeatedly been refused the championship test, and demanding that permission be granted promoters to stage the Dempsey-Wills bout. The decision of the Commission is pending and in the meanwhile such a bout seems certain for early September.
WILLS PASSES UP $10,000
In the recent fight held in New York for the Milk Fund where many of the leading fighters took part Harry Wills refused an offer of ten thousand dollars to meet George Goffrey. Terry Martin the New York feather-weight and Tonny Edwards Pacific Coast bantans seems to be getting plenty of rest Panama Joe Gans keeps busy. He won a fight Wednesday night in Cleveland, Ohio.

Saint Paul Awards "St. P" To Eleven
Lawrenceville, Va.-At the weekly meeting of the Athletic Council the following named young men were awarded the "St. P." in baseball: Blackwell, Bruce, Collins, Cooke, Harris, Maddux, Madden, Parker, Wallace, Wilkerson and Leroy Williams.
By a unanimous vote of the baseball letter men, Walace Thomas, Parker, '24, was elected captain of the 1924 baseball team. The honor is singular, for Parker will also lead the '23 football squad.
While St. Paul's track and field men fell short of predictions and expectations at the memorable Hampton Meet on Saturday, the occasion was an inspiration to the boys who have had only two years of track and field work.
St. Paul is seriously considering staging an annual "Virginia Meet," now that it was a quarter-mile track with 100 yard, straightaway. The management is working out plans in this connection, and will submit the matter to the C. I. A. A. at its next meeting.

THEATRE NOTES
HAROLD LOYD AND DOUGLAS
Mac LEAN FEATURED A
LINCOLN
Harold Loyd Performs His Own Thrills In Latest Comedy
No one will be able to question the fact that Harold Lloyd performs his own "thrills stunts" in the seven-reel, hair-raising "Pathe comedy," "Safety Last," which comes to the Lincoln Theatre Sunday, beginning a four-day run, for in practically every scene in the picture Lloyd's face shows on the screen.
The production contains one of the most delightful love stories ever screened, with Mildred Davis, of course, being the young lady in the case. As the worshipping young man, Harold Loyd puts all the famous screen lovers to shame and mingles sentiment with comedy in a most charming manner. "Safety Last" can be truly said to be greatest comedy ever produced.
MacLEAN DOES CLEVER
That Douglas MacLean's talents are not limited to portrayals of aristocratic and dignified young men, is well illustrated by his clever characterization of "Shorty" the bell-hop in "Bell Boy 13," the Thomas H. Ince comedy farce, which will be shown at the Lincoln Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Using one of San Francisco's biggest hotels as a background, the picture tells a story of modern hotel life from the original viewpoint of the bell-hop. With laughs and thrills and a pleasing love interest besides, the farce is said to be one of the funniest yet screened.
RICH COSTUMES WORN IN
"FOOUS PARADISE"
A MILLION stitches for twelve costumes! That's what it took to make the gorgeously bejeweled costumes of the Siamese dancing girls in one episode of Cecile B. De Mille's latest Paramount picture, "Fool's Paradise," which will be shown at the Broadway Theatre for THREE days beginning SUNDAY.
These costumes, perhaps the most ornately beautiful ever designed for the screen, were created by Clair West, special costume designer for Cecil B. De Mille productions. The twelve dancers appear in reproductions of the famous Temple Dances. The weight of their costumes is considerable as each garment is decorated with at least two thousand set jewels; saphires, emeralds, rubies and rhinestones. Counting fifty stitches to each jewel, 100,000 to the garment, it can be seen that the original estimate of one million stitches for the twelve costumes is conservative.
OVER THE HOME
BREW
By "THE MONOPED"
She'd just been telling us how smart Susiebelle was when in runs the sweet little thing and this is the earful we got:
Susiebelle: Mother, I can't find it.
Mother: Con't find what?
Susie: What I'm looking for.
Ma: What yo' lookin' fo'?
Sue: I don't know.
Again I attempt to draw attention to how foolish, silly, extremely childish, thoughtless, absurd, ridiculous, cheap, and too pathetic to even be comical is the persistent practice of advertising certain race artists as the world's sweetest tenor or the world's greatest basso; the world's greatest baritone or the world's greatest this or that.
"It is" true to say that Mme. Sarah Bernhardt was the world's most famous actress—but wit hall the renown of Coleridge-Taylor, we would not justify ourselves as a race to assert that Coleridge-Taylor was the greatest musician o recomposer in the world because he was not popularly acclaimed as such by the critics and the general public as was Sarah Bernhardt.
In the same proportion that you laugh at the rare sight of a very homely man dressed in a guadilly fashioned, loud blue suit; red-yellow shoes; a red necktie, and a pearl colored dicator, so do thoughtful people smile at those whose names appear on such advertisements.

In 1916 Major Young was made a Lieut. Colonel and headed the 10th Cavalry in Pershing's pumitive expedition into Mexico after Pancho Villa in 1916. In February of that year, Col. Young was given the Spingarn Medal for his service in Liberia.
When war was declared in 1917, between hte United States and Germany, Col. Young was seventh on the list entitled to be promoted to Major General. The South was in the saddle in the War Department and by a medical examination Col. Young was retired with the rank of Colonel in order to prevent his being given a commanding position in the World War. Col. Young was said to be one of the most learned military men in the whole United States army, and the rank of full Colonel held by him was the highest yet attained by a colored officer. Colonel Young leaves a wife and two children.

This puzzle is patterned after the
puzzle on this page last week. I am
taking the letters h, i, j, k, l, and m
and I am making a sentence of it.
Each word begins with the seven lett-

Example: Helen Is Juggling Kate's
Little Mascot.
Can you make a sentence too?
Homonyms
A hom-o-nym (or spelled hom-o-nyme; pronounced either hom-o-nym or ho-mo-nym) is a word having the same sound as another, but different from it in meaning such as: meet and meat; seam and seem, etc.
He was hearty and ***** until he got wet the day of the storm when he was caught out in that heavy rain and *****.
He placed a ***** log upon the ***** from which the flames flared up immediately.
I would like to hire your wagon to ***** this table to my house. My mother wants it placed in the ***** until she is ready to put it in the dining room.
TWO GREAT NEGROES
I think Phyllis Wheatley has been the greatest woman of our race, because she inspired the hope of other Negro people who had a talent for poetry but were too discouraged to try to forge ahead.
I think Benjamin Banneker has been the greatest Negro man of our race because he taught other races that the Negro race, too, could use its mind and understand signs and planets of the sky.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. MAY 26. 1923
EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE
A Study in Interpretation
FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY
(Continued from last week)
POWELL'S PICTURE, "THE BAT
TLE OF LAKE BRIER"
Although we are not at this time considering painting, it may be permissible to say that the portrayals which have been discussed, especially those by Scofield and MacMonnies, gain in significance by contrasting them with the unwarrantable and unjust treatment of the Negro sailor by Powell in his well-known painting, "The Battle of Lake Erie." This picture hangs at the head of the main stairway in the Senate wing of the Capitol at Washington. (This picture is a replica of one in the Ohio State House.) It is the one work of art, painting or sculpture, Nationally owned, or at any rate officially ordered by the National Government, which shows a Negro "defender."
Powell pictures the one black man in the boat with Perry in an attitude of ignorant fright at the splash of a cannon ball which has struck the water near the boat, while all of his (white) companions are wholly unconcerned, or oblivious of the danger, if indeed, danger there be—from that particular ball.
One marvels that such an unjustifiable and inexcusable falsification should have been approved and put in place where it is, in 1871, less than ten years after Fort Wagner, Port Hudson, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher; and while Charles Sumner and other friends of Truth and Justice, who were also men of culture, were members of the Senate. Their eyes must have been strangely holden. (One of the sculptured reliefs at the base of the famous Nelson Column in Trafalgar Square, London, shows a big Negro "doing his bit" with the rest.)
"STALWART" NEGROES IN ART
While discussing the Negro artillerist in Scofield's "Mortar Practice" group, and the sailor with the pistol in MacMonnies' Naval group, allusion was made to the fact that both of them are shown naked to the waist, just as I have been told by veterans of both the naval and military services
"All at Sea" an operetta in two acts was well performed by pupils of Shaw Junior High School on May 4 and 5 in the Dunbar High School Auditorium. The story of the operetta is as follows:
Act I: The good ship "Pinafore" has set out to capture the Pirates of Penzance. Through the hospitality of Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine, a large party of guests is on board, including the Lord Chancellor, Patience, Mabel, Phyllis Strephon the well-known poet, Grosvenor, and the Fairy Queen, with her attendant sprites. Most important of all is the Mikado of Japan, who is studying the manners and customs of the Europeans. With him are PoohBah and Koko, Lord High Executioner, and his three wards, Yum Yum, Pitti Sing and Peep-Bo.
Through some misunderstanding, the Captain has sailed without Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty; but the latter, with his Sisters, Cousins and Aunts, has succeeded in overtaking the ship in his official barge and has joined the expedition. It has been considered prudent by the authorities to include a squad of Policemen, led by an interpell Sergeant, and upon them Sir Joseph chiefly depends to capture the Pirates. The Lord Chancellor, on the other hand, is convinced that legal proceedings directed against the offenders will prove irresistible. The Captain takes no definite stand, but seems to place considerable reliance on the Queen of the Fairies, who is known to be a person of uncommon resource.
Night comes and all retire except the Sergeant and his gallant force who remain on the alert. It presently appears that the Pirates have chosen this very night to attack the ship, and they soon came swarming over the side, taking the Police by surprise. The latter yield to superior numbers and the Captain and the others come hastily on deck to find the ship in the hands of the enemy.
The Pirate King, however, proves to be of reasonable disposition and suggests nothing more alarming than ransom for the more distinguished members of the party and a matrimo-
"ALL AT SEA"
was usual with Negroes whenever possible while "in action." And this is notable and characteristic, because seldom do any of their white comrades get so "warm" that they deliberately discard all the uniform "above the Equator." Equally characteristic is the related fact that artists, sculptors as well as painters, almost invariably depict their "men of color" as superior men, physically. I recall seeing, many years ago, a picture by an English artist which showed several Negroes on Lord Nelson's ship "Victory" in the great battle of Trafalgar. Two or three were prone, dead and dying, on the bloody deck among their white ship-mates. The others were "hot" in the fight. And all of the Negroes—I distinctly remember—were stripped to scant trousers only; and moreover, those black fellows, at any rate those remaining in action, could properly be described as "mighty men of valor." In Overend's spirited painting of the battle of Mobile Bay—the often-reproduced picture which shows Admiral Farragut conspicuous in the fore-shrouds of the "Hartford"—a powerfully built Negro, handling an enormous cannon swab, occupies the central fore-ground of the picture. He is naked above the waist.
It will be observed that, of the several men in MacMonnies' Naval group only one besides the Negro is naked above the waist.
We may rest assured that the scantily attired Negroes in the sculptural groups which have been discussed are not inadvertent portrayals, nor are these portrayals half-disguised belittlement as some persons might suppose; they are "true to form."
Perhaps some indefinable instinct prompts the display of their stalwart bodies. (It may be interesting to note that "stalwart" probably came from two old Saxon words which meant, [that which is] "worth stealing." Perhaps it is a sort of "reversion": but whatever the reason may be, it is a fact, as I have said, that Negroes "in action" are wont thus to do—especially when in strenuous action enveloped in death-laden battle-smoke.
nial alliance between his pirate band and such eligible young ladies as happen to be present. By a singular coincidence the number of Sir Joseph's Sisters, Cousins and Aunts (all unmarried), exactly equals the number of unattached Pirates, so the King's proposal appears to be not unfeasible. Matters having been brought to this point, all retire again for the night and this time remain undisturbed.
ACT II: When morning breaks, the Captain, Lord Chancellor and Sir Joseph call a conference of prisoners to devise ways and means to extricate themselves from their difficult situation. The Police have failed; so the Chancellor, having issued an extremely powerful injunction, gives it to the Sergeant to serve on the Pirate King who has considerably withdrawn to another part of the ship. At this point the Mikado opportunely appears and, on being put in possession of the facts, immediately proposes his famous system of humane retribution in punishment of the Pirates as soon as they shall have been overcome by the Chancellor's legal proceedings.
But this plan receives a set-back when Sergeant returns with the report that the injunction was treated with the utmost indifference by the Pirate King for reasons which the Lord Chancellor himself could not lightly dismiss. Whereupon the Mikado, with great good feeling offers the professional services of his Lord High Executioner, Koko, who is sent for at once. But here again are difficulties. Koko, when he learns all the facts, declines to take any official action on grounds which are unassailable, and all are in despair until the Captain suddenly remembers the Fairy Queen! She promptly appears and solves the whole difficulty in a perfectly reasonable manner to the satisfaction of everybody, including the Pirates.

MOZART AND HAYDEN
By Catherine Webb, Age 15
I am very interested in music and I think this little amusing story of Mozart and Hayden will interest and amuse other musical Tribunites.
Mozart and Hayden being at a party, the former laid a wager with the latter that he could not play at sight a piece of music which he (Mozart) would compose.
Hayden accepted the challenge, and Mozart speedily wrote down a few notes and presented them to Hayden, who, having played the prelude, exclaimed: "How do you think I can play that? My hands are at each extremity of the piano, and there is at the same time a note in the middle."
"Does that stop you?" asked Mozart. "Well you shall see me do it." On coming to the difficult passage, Mozart, without stopping, struck the note in the middle of the piano with his nose; and every one naturally burst out laughing. What made the act more ridiculous was that Hayden had a flat nose, while that of Mozart's was prominent, well adapted to such a feat.
Don't say "nigger."

Answer: The Black Death was a plague which desolated Europe, Asia, and Africa in the 14th century.
Q.—Can Negroes, as a race be considered as being "nomads"?
G. C. H.
Ans.—No. A nomad is one of a race "having no fixed location." A wandering people such as gypsies are called nomads.
Q.—Give me a sketch of the life of Henry Highland Garnett. —B. L. Ans.—Garnett is considered one of the greatest American Negro preachers. He was born December 23, 1815, in Kent County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery to New York in 1824 where he later became a student of the ministry. He was appointed Minister to Liberia by President Garfield. He died in 1882.

A Native Liberian and a Dental
Student of Howard University
(Continued from last week)
The declaring of her independence did not put an end to the problems of Liberia, but rendered them far more difficult.
The first aggression was by Great Britain. It came, of course, through avowed friendship.
Liberia had been having difficulties with the natives along the banks of the Gallinhas River, so while the President of Liberia was dining with the Prussian Ambassador in London in 1848, the question relative to these troubles was discussed at length.
It was found that these troubles were kept alive by slave traders who had their stations near the mouth of the River. These difficulties had been agitated through a chief named Mano.
Lord Ashley and Mr. Gurney who were present at the banquet dinner suggested that an end be put to these troubles by purchasing the land from these chiefs, thus advancing the cause of the Anti-slave trade (which was represented by Mr. Ashley). The matter was settled and through Mr. Ashley the necessary funds secured for the purchase.
Upon his return to Liberia, the President entered into negotiations by which the land was gradually acquired between the period extending from 1849-1856. The area secured stretched from the Mano River to Serva, and Sherbro Island on the west.
Through acquisition of this territory, Liberia's domain extended from Cape Lohon to the eastward of Cape Palmas, west to the border of Sierra Leone, a distance of about 600 miles. There was much difficulty in the acquiring of this territory, and even England herself was a member of the contra-acting influences. In the year, 1860, John Harris, an English trader had established himself in the country between the Mano and Sulima Rivers and refused to recognize the authority of the Liberian law.
As he was conducting a fugrant trade in contravention of Liberian Laws of Commerce, the President sent a coast guard to seize two schooners, the Phoebe and the Emily, which had been consigned to him. The seized ships were taken to Liberian waters and held for legal adjudication. Under the orders of the British Colony of Sierra Leone, the British gunboat Torch appeared at Monrovia, seized the two schooners by force on December, 17. At the same time, the Commander of this gunboat demanded the Liberian Government to pay a penalty of fifteen pounds sterling ($72.00) per diem for the nineteen days detention. Shortly after these events, the President while on his way to England on a matter of business, visited the government of Sierra Leone and tried to adjust the matter but was referred to London.
At about this time, a part of the disputed territory was annexed by Sierra Leone to her own area. This made the matters to be settled in London still more difficult.

IRA ALDRIDGE, ACTOR
Ira Aldridge was born at Bel Air Maryland, 1810. Educated at Schenectady College and Glascow University in Scotland. Being educated for a preacher but being inclined to follow the stage he made his debut at Royalty Theater in London in 1833. His success was immediate.
From London Aldridge went to Belfast and returned to London at Corvent Garden (a play house). In Prussia he received a gold medal of first class in art and science, previously awarded only to Humboldt, Spantini, and Liszt. The Emperor of Austria gave him the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold. In Prussia he was equally honored. From 1852 until his death he was recognized in Europe as the first of living tragedians, equalled only by the wonderful Rachael. Aldridge married a Swedish lady. His two daughters achieved prominence in England in music. He died in Lodz, Poland, August 7, 1867.

I passed by a garden, a little Dutch garden,
Where useful and pretty things grew,
Hearts-ease and tomatoes, and pinks and potatoes
And lilies and onions and rue.
I saw in that garden, that little Dutch garden
A chubby Dutch man with a spade,
And a rosy Dutch frau with a shoe
like a scow,
And a flaxen haired little Dutch maid,
Blue flag flowers lovely and tall,
And early blush roses, and little pink
posies,
But Gretchen was fairer than all.
My heart's in that garden, that little
Dutch Garden.—
It tumbled right in as I passed,
'Mid wildering mazes of spinach and
daises,
And Gretchen is holding it fast.

THE PRESIDENT TO PAT HARRISON
Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, "chief party trouble maker in the Senate" so called by President Harding, has been thanked by the President, in a letter, for the kind things Senator Harrison said in a newspaper article concerning the President's father, Dr. George Harding, upon his attendance at the Confederates Reunion at New Orleans this year.
The President wrote: "In your capacity of chief party trouble maker in the Senate you have said some things which have made me lay my newspaper down and turn to a fresh pipe of tobacco for consolation. This very generous and considerate article has antidoted all the things that have gone before." What do you think of that? Have you ever read anything to equal that as coming from your President?
For codling the South, kotowing to southern sentiment with a ready forgiveness for a generous article which "has antidoted all the things that have gone before" by a rabid southern race hater and "chief party trouble-maker," your President wins the first prize. Is it possible that the President thinks the South can be won over to the ranks of the Republican party so easily?
OUT AT JERRYS' PARTY
When all good fellows get together they are just bound to have a good time. In the language of the streets, the boys "certainly didn't miss" last Monday afternoon out at Jerry "Bond's" Chicken Farm, on the occasion of the celebration of the Honorable Jerry's birthday.
The fact that Jerry had a birthday was the surprise of the party, as most of the men thought Jerry, like Topsy, just grew up; but on second thought, it came to us that Jerry really had a wonderful name and merited such recognition on his natal day.
His first name, Jerry, is taken from the famous "Tom and Jerry" a patriot now banished from America by constitutional amendment; and his last name "Bond," (as he is called although his real name is Barnes) shows that he is a descendant of the once famous family "Bottled in Born" which at one time held a high place in American life.
However, when Dr. Williston announced Jerry's age as being eighty years, pandemonium broke loose; and at this instant, to save Jerry from any further embarrassment, a large bouquet of dandelions and elderberry blossoms was thrust into his open arms, with the admonition not to use them in making wine any stronger than that prescribed by Mr. Volstead.
Just why they gave Jerry flowers could not be learned, but it was buzzed around later that a mistake had been made, and that Jerry really was not one of "those kind" of fellows; so with that explanation, everything settled down to normalcy.
The party came close to representing the one described by Paul Lawrence Dunbar in one of his famous

poems, when he said that the saints and the sinners were so mixed that if the trumpet had blown—you know the rest; well, all we have to say is that whether they were saints or sinners or bootlegers, they were certainly mixed. The boys were all there, even the profanum vulgus.
After looking over the crowd, we felt sorry for any one in Washington who chanced to get seriously ill during the afternoon, because all the physicians whose three month's supply had not run out, were there with bells on—in fact all branches of our professional and business life was represented; we really didn't know so many men were interested in a man's birthday, and as yet, judging from the way the invited guests made that red punch disappear, we still think Jerry was a secondary consideration.
Well, anyway, everybody had a great time and it didn't matter whether it was Jerry's eighth or his eightieth birthday.
We would mention the names of the guests present, (but as so many of them are married, and in order to get a few minutes of real freedom, they had to put up various excuses) w ewill not embarrass them by making it possible for the wives to find out where they were, and, then too, it may preclude the writer from ever being invited any more.
About fifty guests motored out; games and chin music were the principal attractions until eating time. The service consisted of punch, brunswick stew, barbecue, cold slaw, potatoes, down-home corn-bread, rolls and soft drinks.
After everybody had eaten more than the one-half of one per cent allowed under the law, relaxation and relief were sought by indulging in

The fun and frolic continued until the evening sun resplendent with its golden rays, reposed in the western sky, and the tall stately maples, from which fluttered the red breasted robins, cast their shadows over the empty beer bottles; and the cricket to his mate began to sing; and the thousands of chickens in Jerry's henhouse closed their eyes for the night and the tired men exclaimed in gleeful tones, "revenous a nos moutous."

N. J. REPUBLICANS RAPP HARDING
Trenton, N. J., May 17—The Harding Administration's "deference to the whims and wishes of the white South," is condemned in resolutions adopted here today by Negro Republicans from all over the State, which demand of the Republican Party widespread reformation designed to give the Race fuller recognition. Indignation at the President's anti-Negro and pro-cracker attitude and of the slights and insults suffered by the colored voters at the hands of the Harding Administration was expressed in an amendment to a general resolution, which was voted down by the more servile members of the convention. Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Newark, who with T. Thomas Fortune, the dean of Negro journalism and a radical in his younger days, fed the fight
in advocacy of the amendment's adoption, epitomized what appeared to be the sentiment of the meeting when he declared with angry emphasis that "if Harding is going to play with the South, he can't play with us." Others seemed to think that Harding was dealing with the South and playing with the Negro.
A general resolution embodying criticism of the following shortcomings of the President and the Republican Party was finally adopted:
"Deference to the whims and wishes of the South; failure to name Negroes to appointive positions because of Democratic Senators' objections: slipshod enforcement of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Amendments, enfranchising the Negro and legalizing the income tax."
The resolution included those suggestions of a few paltry plums and "reforms" as being enough to satisfy the Negro 'Republican leaders' of New Jersey. A change in the policies of the State leaders of the Republican Party (an indefinite suggestion), appointment of Negro representation on the State Republican Committee, and candidacy of at least one Negro for Congress from New Jersey.

Your Hair Can Be A Crown of Beauty
No longer need you wish for beautiful hair. A marvelous preparation has been discovered that quickly changes coarse, homely hair into long, lovely, silky locks, gives the hair a beautiful, soft sheen, and stops dandruff and itching scalp. This wonderful preparation is called EXELENTO QUININE POMADE
It has given thousands the beautiful hair for which they are so much admired.
Another great beauty help is EXELENTO SKIN BEAUTIFIER, a remarkable cream that quickly removes skin blemishes and clears up dark, sallow complexions. If your druggist cannot supply you, send 25c for generous size package of either Pomade or Beautifier.
