Low School Marks Cause Girl To Die Of Broken Heart First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3. No. 9 GRADUATED FROM MINER NORMAL THIS SUMMER GRADUATED FROM MINER NORMAL THIS SUMMER Refused to Disclose to her Closest Friends what her Marks Were WAS A VERY POPULAR GIRL Funeral Services were held Tuesday Morning from Catholic Church The tragic death of Miss Audrey Catheryne Wooden at the home of her paretns, 939 R Street, North- west was a great shock to Washington, and threw hundreds of families into mourning. THE STATUE OF THE WOMAN The cause of Miss Wooden's sudden death as given out by Dr. S. S. Thompson, who attended her before the end came, was due to acute dilatation of the heart, caused by worry or suppressed emotion. Audrey Catheryne Wooden was born in Washington and came up through the public schools. She was twenty years old at the time of her death. She graduated from Dunbar in 1921 and entered Miner Normal the following fall and graduated from there this summer. However, commencement day did not mean to Miss Wooden just what it meant to the other girls in her class. For fifteen years she had labored hard over her books and through every class she had passed, she was known as a brilliant student. During her four years at Dunbar she never missed a day from school, which showed her devotion to her studies. Many nights she would study until the small hours of the morn in order that she could go to her classroom with her work completed. Everything went along fine for Audrey until the final examination this Spring. Then it is claimed,the marks she received were far below what she believed they should have been. This so embarassed Miss Wooden until she refused to tell even her closest friends what her marks were. When graduation came, instead of standing at the head, or near the head of the class in what she believed was her position, she was near the foot of the class. This cut Audrey to the quick and her pride revolted at what she thought was rank discrimination against her. So when the diplomas were given out and the girls started home in a celebrating mood, Audrey lagged behind; she was sad, disappionted and heart broken. She had worked hard all through her school career and at the end had received marks that she thought blighted all her hopes. She stood in line to be appointed a teacher in the public schools here but the graduates from Miner Normal are appointed according to their ratings. Her ratings were exceedingly low so she stood little chance of being appointed, while her friends, many of whom she had helped, were rated higher than she was. It is alleged that one of Miss Wooden's teachers disliked her, and because of this dislike, refused to give her creditable marks in her practice of teaching. This, it is claimed is the main cause of the low marks. Since graduation Miss Wooden had been grieving over her marks but she The Washington Tribune LYNCHINGS DECREASE IN FIRST SIX MONTH PERIOD Tuskegee, Ala.—Special—According to the records on lynchings compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge, in the first six months of 1923 there were 15 lynchings. This is 15 less than the number 30 for the first six months of 1922 and 21 less than the number 36 for the first six months of 1921. Of those lynched, two were whites and thirteen were Negroes. One of the latter was a woman. One of those put to death was charged with the crime of rape. The other offenses charged were: murder, 2; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of th elaw, 2; no charge reported, 2; assisting man charged with rape to escape, 1; trying to pass for white, 1; resisting posse searching for man charged with rape, 1; participating in depredations connected with railroad strike, 1; cattle stealing, 1; trying to act as white man and not knowing his place, 1. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Arkansas, 1; Florida, 7; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 1; and Texas, 1. Y. W. C. A. HELPING · THOSE MOVING NORTH "We would rather go North and freeze, than to stay here and die on trees," is the best way the colored folks in Georgia are expressing themselves. This was brought to light at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. recently. A mother and three children were sent to the "Y. W.", by the Travellers Aid. They were on their way from Georgia to a town near Pittsburgh, where the husband and father was working. Some unkind person stole the money and railroad ticket of the mother and children and they had to get off the train here in Washington. They came to the "Y. W." about two o'clock in the morning. They remained several days before the husband and father could be located. Upon receipt of word of the condition of his family he sent money for them to continue their journey. They were, fed and given new clothes before they resumed their journey. The day the mother and children left Washington an elderly woman from Natchez Miss., came into the "Y. W." seeking work. She said that she was tired of the South and was afraid to remain there. She was given work within twenty-four hours after arriving in the city. This woman is about sixty-five years old; one of the "Mammies" of the South, but she is afraid to remain there. On Monday of this week, a young girl about seventeen and her little brother of five came to the "Y. W." from Charlotte, N. C., enroute to their father near Pittsburgh. She and the boy were stranded. They were taken in, given baths and supplied with fresh linen and kept until Tuesday, when the father sent them money to continue their trip. These are some of the side lights on the Northern migration of the Negroes as experienced by one welfare organization in this city. The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., is rendering a real service in this respect. A great outdoor meeting will be conducted by the A. M. E. Zion Ministerial Association at Contee A. M. E. Zion Church in Burrville, Sunday July 22nd at 3: o'clock p. m. Rev. E. D. Jones, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church will deliver the principal sermon. Music will be rendered by Galbraith choir, Prof. Joseph Wilson, director. "South Will Fight to Last Drop of Blood For Veterans Hospital" says R. H. Powell PUBLISHED WEEKLY rks Gaus ACH BABY "South W For Veter MRS. M. L. GRAY ACTING ASSLEUTH FOR SPEELMAN A desperate effort is being made on the part of the office of the Register of Treasury's to find out who gave out the information that a verbal segregation order was issued, separating white and colored in the toilets in the women's departments. According to rumor, if the party is found, they will lose their job immediately. So desperate has some of the minor employees become in trying to find this person, that Mrs. Monon L. Gray, who holds a position in the jim-crow section, called at The Tribune office last Monday afternoon and tried to get the infromation as to who the party is. Mrs. Gray, who was so afraid, when asked two weeks ago by a Tribune reporter, if she knew anything of the segregation order, that she refused to say anything, is now very interested in finding out who did have enough nerve and backbone to tell of this insult to the race. Although Mrs. Gray refused to talk two weeks ago, in her conversation at The Tribune office Monday, she practically admitted that such an order was issued in her department. Mrs. Gray's confession came about like this: She was asked point blank if a segregation order was not issued; she replied she had not seen it in writing. She was then informed that such an order was snot issued in writing but was verbally issued by Dr. Alphonzo Harris, head of the colored division, Mrs. Gray was then asked if she was not present on that Thursday afternoon when Dr. Harris called the colored employees together and gave out the segregation orders. To this she replied, she happened not be in the room at that time because she had to go to another office to attend to some business. However, Mrs. Gray admitted that when she returned to her section the air was full of talk about the matter; but, she did not hear the orders, therefore, according to the rules of the court, she is only responsible for what she hears. It is a fact that the order was issued and that on the following day, Dr. Harris told those under him that they had misinterpreted what he said: It is also true the colored men who were employed as clerks were forced nearly every day to do laboring work (move desks and similar work). However, since the recinding of the segregation order, it is stated that the laboring work has been held in abayance at least temporarily. COMMITTEE SEEKS BAIL FOR GARVEY A special committee composed of R. L. Poston, Secretary of the U. N. I. A. W. L. Sherrill, Assistant President-General of the U. N. I. A.; and D. I. Tobias, orator, essayist and newspaper man, came to Washington last week and left petitions at the Department of Justice and the White House asking that an investigation into the trial of Marcus Garvey be made. While the committee was able to see the officials it wanted to, they could get no definite answer as to what they would do in the matter. However, they were led to believe that Mr. Garvey would soon be out on bail. Marcus Garvey has been in jail since the beginning of his trial over a month ago. He was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $1000. He appealed his case and is now awaiting a decision from the court. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 WHITES,ACCORDING TO REPORT TELL DIRECTOR HINES NEGROES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED Stanley Refused to Protect Negro Clerk at Veterans Hospital. Ordered Him Out. (By Special Correspondent) Tuskegee, Institute Ala., July 6—General Hines spent the day here yesterday. He was in conference with the special committee composed of twenty-two whites, no Negroes of course being invited. It is said that General Hines told the white committee that whoever promised a white personnel for the Hospital did so without authority and that the matter of a personnel was purely a government matter with which the Tuskegee Institute had nothing to do. General Hines also told the whites, according to the "Montgomery Advertiser," that he thought he could finally settle the matter in a way satisfactory to the Tuskegee white people. The General also asked that a committee of three (By Special Correspondent) Tuskegee Alabama, July 4—Tuskegee Ku Klux Klan paraded last night. It was planned to demonstrate the powerful and eternal supremacy of the white race and also to show the determination of the white people of Tuskegee to prevent Negroes from being installed as officers in the Veterans' Hospital located here. Throughout all the heat and passion of the hospital discussion there have come occasional and persistent rumors of the Klan parade. Then on Monday, July 1st, there came a final and decisive word that the parade would come off Tuesday night July 3rd. The officials of the Institute were notified that the parade would not come upon nor pass through any of the school thoroughfares; that no one at the Institute need fear of being molested but that the parade should be looked upon just as though it was a Masonic or Pythian parade. The cleverly devised stage-setting for the day came near being upset by a colored boy—single-handed and unafraid. John H. Calhoun, a graduate of Hampton Institute was among those who recently took the Civil Service examination for disbursting Officer a t the Hospital. Among the others who took the examination was Miss Hunnicut, a white woman who had held and still holds the position. When the examinations were over it was shown that Mr. Calhoun had made the highest average while Miss Hunnicut had failed to pass. Mr. Calhoun was in Virginia at the time he received his orders to report to the hospital to take the position and he came in spite of definite warnings from his friends that the whites of Tuskegee had threatened to kill him on sight. Tuesday morning, July 3rd, Mr. Calhoun reported to Colonel Stanley, the Commanding Officer in charge of the hospital and was given a desk but no work. Colonel Stanley handed Calhoun a letter which he said he had been requested to deliver to him. Calhoun took the letter and without opening it it put it into his pocket while it is said Stanley looked on with aston- whites from Tuskegee be appointed to work with him in the solution of the problem. R. H. Powell, the spokesman for the Tuskegee whites and leader of the controversy in an impassioned address told General Hines that the appointment of "Niggers" to head a Government institution in. Alabama Government instruction in Alabama would be a slap to white supremacy and that he wanted General Hines and President Harding to know that if Northern "Niggers" came down putting on airs and demanding their rights " that real trouble would result. Powell also made it clear that southern customs and Jim Crow laws may be "right or wrong but we are going to stand by them until the last drop of Southern white blood is spilled." General Hines was deeply moved by General Hines was deeply moved by Powell's address. ishment and disappointment because he did not read it. Today's issue of the "Montgomery Advertiser" says that Calhoun found the letter on his desk, opened it, read it and then tore it up; which is not in accordance with the facts. Calhoun made it clear and definite to Stanley, and to his own personal friends, that he was not going to leave, and inasmuch as the report of the day's doings as it appeared in the "Montgomery Advertiser"—a report which must have been prepared in advance of the "festivities"—contemplated the "hasty departure" of Calhoun, it was necessary for him to go or spoil the stage-setting, but Calhoun did not hasten away. Stanley it is said, became panic stricken because Calhoun appeared to be not so easily frightened and refused to give him a room at the hospital although his salary includes "maintenance." The report further states that Stanley then left the hospital and telephoned back and gave orders for Calhoun to be put off the reservation and instructed three armed white guards to see that his orders were carried out. Cool and unruffled by the threats that he was to be killed on sight and despite the entreaties of his friends Calhoun without any effort of concealment remained in the community until after the Klan parade had passed, then he left for Washington where he said he was going to carry the fight to a finish. During the parade most of the people at the Institute went about their usual duties and pleasures. Most of the 300 students and 600 Summer School teachers had seen Klan parades before and those who witnessed the parade looked on with curiosity and not with "awe and silence" as the "Montgomery Advertiser" reported. The people of the Institute are depressed but not afraid. "For forty years," they say, "we have had, as we thought, the full confidence of the white people of our community, and of the South; we have supported their business enterprises; we have at the sacrifice of the confidence of members Of Broke OMINENT of Blood H. Powell SPIRIT OF SOUTH PORTRAYED BY BALTI. EDITOR Perhaps one of the most striking articles ever written about the Negro and the South is the article which appeared in the "New York Age" last week by H. L. Menken. Mr. Menchen is one of the best known writers in America. He is on the Editorial Staff of "The New York Nation" and the "Baltimore San." Mr. Menchen may be regarded as the Bernard Shaw of America. The Tribune reprints the article in full as follows: THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH By H. L. Menchen Nearly the whole of Europe could be lost in that stupendous region of fat farms, shoddy cities and paralyzed cerebrums; one could throw in France, Germany and Italy and still have room for the British Isles. And yet, for all its size and all its wealth and all the "progress" it babies of, it is almost as stirile, artistically, intellectually, culturally, as the Sahara Desert. There are single acres in Europe that house more first-rate men than all the states south of the Potomac; there are probably more worthwhile men in some single square mile north of it in America. If the whole of the late Confederacy were to be engulfed by a tidal wave tomorrow the effect upon the progress of civilized men in the world would be but little greater than that of a flood on the Yangtse-Kiang. It would be impossible in all history to match so completely a dry-up of a civilization as we see in the South. It is, indeed, amazing to contemplate so vast a vacuity and emptiness. What is needed down there, before the vexatious public problems of the region may be intelligently approached, is a survey of the population by competent ethnologists and anthropologists. The immigrants of the North have been studied at great length. But the older stocks of the South, and particularly the dominant poor white trash, have never been investigated scientifically, and most of the current generalizations about them are probably wrong. For example, the generalization that they are purely Anglo-Saxon in blood. This I doubt very seriously. The chief strain down there is Cel (Continued on page 2) REPORT ON DR. KENNEY'S FORCED LEAVE CORRECT Tuskegee, Ala.—The report that Dr. John A. Kenny, veteran surgeon at the Tuskegee Institute Hospital, was forced to leave is correct. Dr. Kenney was given twenty-four hours to leave Tuskegee. As he left in considerably less time than that, he still has some hours left him there. However, whether he will come back to use up his unexpired time is gravely doubted. Dr. Kenney is now reported to be in Boston, having gone there last week after spending some time in Washington, D. C. of our own race made every reasonable overture to secure the good-will of our white neighbors and in a word have tried to prove that the Tuskegee experiment in inter-racial cooperation is sound." The comment of one person who stood on the side of the road as the parade was passing was most appropriate. This person said that it was "the masking of faces and the unmasking of souls."

Attorney Washington was forced to grasp for its breath last Friday when the news was flashed that the stillborn infant that was found buried at Jazz Beach, Virginia, was born in the home of Mrs. Henry Lee Grant, 323 T Street, northwest, the mother of the dead infant being Miss May Robinson, nineteen, daughter of a wealthy Clempeper, Virginia, farmer. The finding of the buried baby creater quite a stir in Arlington County and it looked as though Sheriff Clemmens might lose his job for a while. Commonwealth Attorney Crandall Mackey, seized the only tangible piece of evidence that might possibly lead to the identification of the baby, the piece of evidence being a towel. Its ownership was traced all the way through twenty-one laundries in Washington before finding the owner. At the Tolman Laundry, the laundry mark was identified as being that of William Lattimore, who lives at 323 Street. Mr. Lattimore identified the towel but knew nothing of the baby that had been wrapped in it. Mrs. Grant, was then questioned and she made a statement aided by her three daughters. Mrs. Grant teaches in Culpeper and when there stayed at the home of the Robinson's. The Robinson girl when visiting in Washington always stayed with Mrs. Grant. According to Mrs. Grant's story, the Robinson girl came to her home April 9th. She stayed in the room with her two daughters, Alice, age fifteen and Henrietta, age twelve. In a signed statement given out by Henrietta, she was awakened about six o'clock Sunday morning, May 14, by an infant's cry which seemed to come from a suitcase which was in the room. When the Robinson girl was asked what the sound was, she stated that it was "a whistle in the grin." The Grant children became curious to see such a whistle and after the other girls had gone out, June, age 10 the youngest daughter of Mrs. Grant, slipped up to the room and caught the Robinson girl bending over the suitcase which was partially opened and in which she had one hand. Mrs. Grant went to the girl's room and investigated. She tried to get the girl to have a doctor but to no avail. On Wednesday, May 17th according to Mrs. Grant, Elijah Barber a student in the Junior College at Howard University, who it is alleged kept company with Miss Robinson's sister drove up to the Grant home and went up to the Robinson girl's room and came down bearing a bundle. He insisted that Mrs. Grant make the trip with him; for what purpose however, it could not be learned, other than the fact that she was to be a witness to the burial. She said that they went to Georgetown, over the Key bridge and to a point in Virginia with which she was unfamiliar. That was the last she knew of the affair. The girl was removed to Freedmen's hospital, according to Mrs. Grant, on Thursday, May 18, where she remained for twelve days. She returned to the Lattimore home for ten days after that and then returned to her father's farm. According to Mrs. Grant the girl's hospital bill was paid by a colored student. It amounted to $85. Later the Robinson girl was brought back to Washington warrants issued here for her arrest. (Continued on page 5) LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO LOCAL Mrs. Mareon D.

French blood, too, shows itself here and there, and so does Spanish, and so does German. The Germans entered from the northward, by way of the limestone belt just east of the Alleghenies. Again it is very likely that in some parts of the South many of the plebeian whites have considerable Negro blood. Inter-breeding under concubinage produced some very light half-breeds at an early day, and no doubt appreciable numbers of them went over into the white race by the simple process of changing their abode. Not long ago I read a curious article by an intelligent Negro in which he stated that it is easy for a very light Negro to pass as white in the South on account of the fact that large numbers of Southerners accepted as white—have distinctly Negroid features. Some of the worst blood of Western Europe flows in the veins of the Southern poor white, now poor no longer. The original strains, accord- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 ing to every honest historian were extremely corrupt. Philip Alexander Bruce (a Virginian of the old gentry) says, in his "The Institution History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century," that the first native-born generation was largely illegitimate. "One of the most common offenses against morality committed in the lower ranks of life in Virginia during the seventeenth century he says, "was bastardy." "The mothers of these bastards," he continues, "were chiefly indentured servants, and had belonged to the lowest class in their native country." Fannie Kemble Butler, writing of the Georgia poor whites of a century later described them as "the most degraded race of human beings claiming an Anglo-Saxon origin that can be found on the face of the earth—filthy, lazy, ignorant, brutal, proud, penniless savages." The marks of their origin are still unpleasantly plentiful. It is not by accident the Negroes of the South are making faster progress economically and culturally, than the masses of white. It is not by accident that the only visible aesthetic activity in the South is wholly in their hands. No Southern composer has ever written music so good as that of half a dozen mulatto composers who might be named. Even in politics the Negro reveals a curious superiority. Despite the fact that the race question has been the main political concern of the Southern whites for two generations, to the practical exclusion of everything else—they have contributed nothing to its discussion that has impressed the rest of the world so deeply and so favorably as three or four books by Southern Negroes."

(© 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Over and over again the thoughtful, studious Tremain impressed upon his daughter the fact that she should marry. "Don't keep him waiting longer, my child," he would urge, while the pain in his dark, near-sighted eyes was all too evident. "He loves you, you love him, and he is a fine fellow." "But, daddy—let you live alone?" Clytie's St. Cecelia face would lift to scan the expression behind his heavy spectacles. "You have been a wonderful daughter; you have thought of me always; now we must think of you." He was smoothing her soft hair with a thin white hand. "I won't have you left alone—as Libbie Carson was when her father weed at last. It is your right—every woman's right—to marry," he would stoutly affirm, but his heart quaked with the dread of losing his only child, the sunshine of his scholarly life. And Clytle would look long out of the window at the big, empty Carson home, across the elm-bordered street. It had been used as a hospital during the war. Libbie—husbandless, childless and the last of the Carsons—was wondering. One February evening she stared through the bare branches of the trees until every gray-shuttered window seemed to mock her with the eyes of starved ghosts. She twisted her hands in an agony of indecision: "I can't leave daddy for Race. If only mother had lived!" Then she wept hysterically. Her father, buried in his books, did not hear, but her lover came upon her unawares. "Clytie, darling," whispered, "let's get married right away; you've kept me waiting long enough." "That—that's what daddy says, too," she gulped weakly, from the pressure of his strong arms. "He does?" shouted Race. "Your dad's a brick!" he added in elegantly. "Perhaps we can persuade him to live with us, once we're married." She shook her head to assure him that her father never would, while a strange, new emotion hurried the heart against his breast. At that moment a finger of light from the rising moon touched the face of the house across the street. It was fateful. "Per—perhaps daddy could be persuaded," she whispered softly. The ceremony was a quiet one in the big, flower-decked library. While Clyte promised to love, honor and obey Horace Townley, her subconscious mind was an exclamation point: "Move daddy and all these books to a city apartment!" Then she was whirled away to a Southern honeymoon. Tremain's married sister stayed on with him while Clytie was gone. He would have preferred to be alone, with the memory of his daughter and the unobtrusive ministrations of the elderly housekeeper. Aunt Emma wasn't used to his ways, she was a fusser and managed to mislay his books and papers with her constant tidying. The bookworm was frequently driver from the house by her industry. The sight of a feather duster, with a long handle, in her capable hands, was the signal for his departure. "It will do him good," was her brisk answer to the old housekeeper when she remonstrated. "Clytie let her father have too much of his own way, But, land alive! what could one expect from a child with such a heather name? He isn't fifty yet, and he moves about like an old man. The harassed man ceased, at last, slam the outer door as a violent reproach to his officious relative. He began to enjoy his long walks in the keel March air and bright sun. His eye sight began to improve, his stooped shoulders straightened perceptibly, and his long limbs were acquiring a rhythmic swing in place of the forme wabble. Aunt Emma smiled behind her duster. The glowing bride stepped from the gangplank into her father's strong grip. "Why, Daddy," she gasped, "is really you? "You may thank, or blame, you aunt for this coat of tan," smiled Tremain, when he had greeted the beaming Race, "but who is this?" "Forgive me, Miss Carson," Clytie sweetly apologized to a fair woman with smiling blue eyes, who stood be hind her. "We met her on the box Daddy—you remember—from the hour across the street?" "Libbie—Libbie Carson!" Tremain had taken both gloved hands while the laughing woman held out. "Morse Tremain—you don't look day over forty!" The young folk had turned away, look over the luggage. "Do you know, I believe Daddy can be persuaded to live with us, after all?" cried the delighted bride. "Think so?—I don't," grinned Hark knowingly. Clytie looked back over his shoulder and stood stock still. The pair at the other end of the pier were in a word of their own. Her father's attitude we unmistakable, but the astute words he couldn't hear. "It is your duty, Libbie—every man's duty—to marry." Nor the pink-faced woman's answer "I—I believe it is, Morse." "Oh! Race—she—she's a darling gasped Olytie. Then the St. Cecil face lifted reverently in the sunshine How the Foreman Beat Ep (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The face of Riffkin, the little foreman, was set and resolute when he entered Ep's office in the Sult Emporium. Ep owned the emporium, with its stock of cheap, shoddy goods, over which half a score of girls sat tolling at their machines from eight till six, and sometimes later. "Well, Riffkin?" asked Ep, without looking up from his ledger. "Well, Mr. Ep, it's this way," began the foreman. "I come to you time and again about my girl, Maria Spalza. Me and she want to get married and we want to set up housekeeping. Last year, when her scalp was torn in your machine because you were too stingy to install a guard, you promised to settle for nine hundred dollars. And every time I speak you put me off with promises. Now, Mr. Ep, unless you pay, we go to law." Ep smiled sourly and, rising to his feet, took the excited little man's arm. Ep smiled sourly and, rising feet, took the excited little man's arm. "See them goods?" he asked pointing to a series of shelves. "Four thousands dollars' worth of Paris style gowns, and useless. Why? Because they've got wide sleeves and the fashions has changed. Look here!" He pointed in another direction. "Four thousands dollars' worth of Paris style gowns that will go like hot cakes. Why? Narrow sleeves—new style Now, my friend, if I sell every one of them new gowns, I just clear my losses on the old ones. And where's your profit? Presently—" "No more 'presently,'" Riffkin shouted. "I hear that word too much. Next year, mebbe you settle—what?" Ep shrugged his shoulders. "You can't get blood out of a stone, Riffkin," he said. "Unless a fortunate accident happened—well, in that case I do handsome by you both. The old stock's insured for full value and the new ninti insured for a cent. Sure enough, my luck would be that if a fire burst out the new gowns would go up in a flash and the old stock wouldn't be touched by as much as a drop of water. If I wasn't an honest man—" He scowled angrily at the old stock, neatly wrapped upon the shelves. "I wish you was honest enough to pay your debts," growled the foreman, turning away. Maria Spalza, his sweetheart, worked on one of the machines. A year previously half her scalp, had been torn away by an unprotected rod. It had been replaced by skillful skin-grafting and her beauty was not marred, but the pain and anguish were worth the paltry $900 that Ep had promised to pay. A jury would award $2,000. "I'm going to quit and sue him, Maria," said Riffith during the noon half hour. "No, don't, Louis," pleaded the pretty Italian girl. "I know he means to do fair by us." Everybody knew that Louis and Maria had been sweethearts for two years. The day passed as usual. At six o'clock the girls ran chattering out of the building. Usually Mr. Ep was the fast to leave, locking the office after him, and then the factory door, but on this occasion he hurried past Riffkin with averted face, leaving the little foreman a prey to wild astonishment. He switched off the electric light and instantly a red spark shone out upon the floor. Riffkin stared at it in horror. It was the lighted end of a cigarette, and was burning merrily, the end of the unit portion near a waste basket containing—oiled paper! Riffkin saw the scheme in an instant. He had not understood that Ep was proposing that he should burn down the factory that morning. Soon the whole place was afire. The flames had gained the end of the factory and were crawling up the walls. The glare was perceptible all down the street. Riffkin heard shouts underneath the windows. Then he ran down the stairs to the street, where the firemen were already leaping from their engines. "Seventh floor!" he gasped. "I tried to stop the spread, but it was beyond control. Hurry!" They did not need to hurry. In five minutes more only a mass of black and coiling smoke showed where the conflagration had been. The crowd slowly dispersed. But Riffkin waited. He knew that Ep would come to see his handiwork. Soon he perceived him skulking in the fringe of the crowd. The two saw each other simultaneously. Ep came forward with assumed anxiety. "This is terrible, Riffkin," he said, "How can it have happened?" "Let's go and see," said Riffkin, and took Ep by the arm. "Mr. Ep," said Riffkin, "I saw that cigarette. It ain't my business—but I want nine hundred." Ep attempted to bluster; then, checking himself, sat down and quietly wrote out the check upon his blackened desk. Riffkin read it and pockeed it. "Tm sorry it was the wrong stock, Mr. Ep," he said. "What d'you mean?" shouted Ep. Riffkin pointed through the smoke clouds. As these rolled away, Ep could see that the new gowns had been wholly consumed; but upon their shelves, neatly folded and protected from the water from the hose, the old insured gowns with the wide sleeves reposed in their pristine qual- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 BY CORONA REMINGTON. (© 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) "I could stand being just a poor little seamstress, Spry, although it is a tumble for Colonel Taintor's daughter, if only I didn't have to sew on gorgeous wedding gowns and dainty, underwear. It makes me so lonely and blue and I simply can't keep from thinking of Jim when I'm working on them. If his health hadn't broken down and he hadn't gone away or if he could only have understood that I would rather have married him sick than not at all. But what's the use of fretting, Spry?" the girl broke off. Mother has to be kept in medicines and comforts, and if it takes trousseaux to do it then trousseaux I'll make—that's all." The collie lying at Evelyn Taintor's feet opened one brown eye lazily, gave two feeble flops to his bushy tail and closed his eye again. He was accustomed to hearing her talk to him and he knew that he would have no peace until he showed some sign of understanding and sympathy, so he had long ago formed the habit of wagging his tail in his sleep whenever he heard his name mentioned. The girl sitched away busily on the tiny, handsome tucks and tried to make herself believe that she enjoyed the soft radiance on Miss Connor's face when she came to be fitted. "When do I have to come back to be tried on?" Miss Connor asked the next time she came. "It won't be necessary for a week or so. You see, we're practically the same size—except for the best dresses I can get along pretty well without you." "That's a fact, though I never noticed it before," said Dorothy. Evelyn worked early and late on the pretty things, stitching as carnely and with as much interest as if they were to be hers. When at last the wedding dress was finished, Evelyn wrapped it tenderly in tissue paper and put it in its box. It was a wonderful thing of purest white and that night after she had packed it away she could not sleep for thinking about it. In the dark she could see it in front of her shimmering white—each fold in its place. "I—I've never tried it on. I wonder now I'd look in it," she said. Without taking time to think she leapt out of bed and flashed on the light. For a long while she sat in front of her mirror fixing her hair in its softest, most girlish way, then she slipped on her underclothes and went out into the dark sewing room. At every step she stopped to listen for a sound from her mother's room, but she was still sleeping quietly. The next morning she rose early and went to work on prosy underwear, but to Evelyn nothing was prosy any more. Each garment seemed alive to her and she worked with a feeling of love toward them. Her reflections were interrupted by the tingling of the telephone at her elbow. "Miss Traitor?" said a voice at the other end. "This is Dorothy Connor. I—I just wanted to say that I shan't need the trousseau. Do anything you like with it—keep it—throw it away—give it away; I don't care—I never want to see it again—it would kill me. Send the bill." With a sob Miss Connor hung up the receiver and for a minute Evelyn sat in her chair stunned. She went through the day's work mechanically, scarcely realizing what she was doing. It must have been a year later that Evelyn read of Miss Connor's elopement with Tom Farlingham. That day she got out the almost forgotten trousseau and had another dress rehearsal. "I felt bitter toward it for a while after she split up, but I guess I love it again now and I'll keep it—it's mine," she told herself. "I really am so wonderful in this dress," she couldn't help confessing to herself as a few minutes later she stood once more in front of the long mirror. The door bell rang sharply and Evelyn held up her hands in dismay. What should she do? If it rang again, it would certainly wake her mother who was just getting a little nap after a night of pain. She slipped down the hall and opening the door a crack put her head around the corner. "J-Jim! Oh, Jim!" she said, rushing toward him. "Good Lord, Evelyn!" he exclaimed staring at the gown. "It can't be so. Don't—don't say this is your wedding day. I—I came back hoping you'd waited for me. I dropped our correspondence because my recovery was so uncertain I didn't feel I had the right to ask you to wait." Then she told him all about the trousseau. "Let's go right now, my darling, and get married," he pleaded. "I don't want any more scares like this one. I can't bear another hour away from you. You'll never know what it's been like hoping and praying and waiting and wondering and fighting all the time—fighting an almost hopeless fight." "I've hoped and prayed and waited and wondered too, but it's all been so very worth while," she sighed happily as she crept a little closer into his strong arms and let the tears of joy fall unheeded on his coat. Don't Scatter Your Dollars Plant your, advertising seeds in abundant, concentrated local circulation—the newspapers that go to and are read in homes—and you reap an abundant harvest. The newspaper that has effective concentrated local circulation has it because it enjoys reader-confidence and reader-interest. It has local INFLUENCE and STANDING. Influence and standing constitute the fulcrum of which advertising is the lever. And a fulcrum must be LOCAL—close to the object to be moved—or it is nothing. Try it on your next "lift" and see. The nearly 6,000 weekly circulation of The Washington Tribune—essentially a home circulation—concentrated 99 per cent in Washington and its suburbs is, perhaps, the nearest approach to complete weekly newspaper "saturation" attained in any of the great single markets of the world. That advertisers recognize and profit by this unusual condition is attested by the consequent fact that, year in and year out, the volume of advertising printed in The Washington Tribune is repeated. The Washington Tribune's readers want everything any other patriotic group of Americans want. They have money to spend and they spend it with local merchants. Their wants include everything the merchant has on his shelf. If you want to sell to these people, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE is the only medium you need.

Pennsylvania Red Gaps of New York Play Here Sunday PAGE FOUR Peri Club of Univer Pennsyl Club of Collegians University Star to Taylor Sign Club of Collegians With Boston University Star to Oppose Potomacs. Taylor Signs Western Pitcher. Fresh from a gruelling series with the Hildale club of Philadelphia, leaders of the Eastern League, the Potomac will make a short visit to our city Sunday and take on the Pennsylvania Red Caps of New York in a single game. The Red Caps form about the classiest aggregation in the East outside of the league. The complete roster is made up of former collegians. Crossen to Play Conspicuous among the Red Caps is shortstop Crossen from Boston University. Crossen was the only Race player on the Boston nine this season and his playing attracted quite a bit of comment from the Boston dailies. Major Allen, varsity baseball coach at Howard for the past three seasons and a well known individual in the pro ranks is playing third for the New Yorkers. The Red Caps showed class last Saturday by trouncing the Harrisburg Giants, 13 to 4. The game will be called at 3:30 o'clock. New Pitcher Signed Manager Taylor wired this office yesterday that he had signed pitcher Gaesentanner formerly of the Kansas City Monarch of the Negro National League. The newcomer is now with the team and may start against the Red Caps today. ```markdown ``` Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs Trailing the Potomacs The fans rather vehemently voiced their disapproval of Manager Taylor's work at the first sack Sunday. It mattered little with them that the Potomacs' chieftain was having his troubles with "Mr. Charley Horse." Frequently cries to "get out of the game" were heard. Jefferson gave the fans a demonstration of his throwing arm Sunday by nabbing a visiting player trying to score on a fly about six feet from the plate with a perfect throw. Jeff is one of the most aggressive men on the team. More than 2000 saw the double attraction on the Fourth. Less than 1000 fans were on hand Sunday. From the listless manner with which the Potomacs perfromed against the Havana Red Sox, it could easily be discerned that the locals underestimated their rivals. Maceo Clarke shapes up as the ace of the staff. The control of the young southbaw is really remarkable. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNESATURDAY. JULY 14. 1923 The battle for the keystone sack seems to be a toss-up with Owens apparently the best fielder and Ridgeley decidedly the best clouter. Manager Taylor-opines however that as Owens has had most of his experience at shortstop his presence gives the club a man to play this position when playing on rough diamonds where Clark is shy of ground balls, fear of being struck in his glasses. When playing on bad diamonds, Clarke is generally shifted to the outfield where he is considered as much at home as at shortstop. Elias Brown, better known as "Rabbit" by his teammates hit the pill at a lively pace while here.

O.—Navy Yard DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE CLUBS WAGING MERRY FIGHT The Departmental League race this season is the hottest in its history. The first half of the season closed on July 7, but because of the great number of postponed games to be played off the winner of the first series is still undetermined. The standing of the clubs on the closing date (which appears in another column of this paper) shows the Veterans Bureau nine in the van with six wins, one defeat and two unplayed games and the Treasury following with four victories, one defeat and four games to be played. With five straight wins including the scalps of the Treasury and Bureau teams, the Veterans Bureau aggregatoin, its first year as a member of the league, has been the sensation of the pennant race. This club is not an all-star combination by far, but a group of fast, youthful performers, managed by Mose Morris and captained by Alonzo Gibson. It would not be at all surprising if the Treasury and Veterans Bureau clubs finished the first series dead-locked for the leadership. Ten clubs are making the fight this year for the league honors. Rigid regulations adopted at the beginning of the season by which all players not employed in the respective departments were barred, is the chief cause of the nearly evenly balanced struggle. CULLYS A'S STOPPED After downing the Virginia Blues and the Mack Sennett in a double attraction on July 4th, the Bladensburg Athletics fell before the Oriental Tigers on last Sunday by the score, 6-2. ATHLETICS' STREAK BROKEN The Arlington Athletics, lost their second game of the season to the East Washington Braves, by the score of 13 to 10. It was a slug-fest for Arlington as they batted three Braves' pitchers out in ten innings and fought hard behind Walker after he relieved Snow in the fifth inning.

THURSDAY and FRIDAY JULY 19th, & 20th "Down to the Sea in Ships" THEATRE NOTES Age-Old Mysteries Revealed in Film of King Tut's Tomb Interesting Views Of "Valley of the Kings" Shown In "Land of Tut-Ankh-Amen" After remaining the chief subject of popular interest and discussion for the past two months, King Tut-Ankh-Amen has entered the movies and views of his tomb will be shown next Sunday at the Broadway theatre. William Fox has produced a very timely short length feature titled "The Land of Tut-Akh-Amen," showing scenes actually made during the explorations at Luxor, Egypt. The accidental discovery of a stone step hidden in the sands near Deir El Bahri, led into the long sought tomb of Tut-Akh-Amen, a Pharaoh who lived about 1350 B. C. This is believed to be the only royal chamber to have escaped plunder by the hereditary tomb robbers. Views of the excavations at the tomb by the native workers under the direction of the American scientists, the Valley of the kings, and the temples nearby the tomb are all shown in this valuable historical record of the ruins of ancient Egyptian civilization. RUSSIAN PRINCESS CAST AS A FLAPPER IN DRAMA Princess Vlademar, Volkonsky, "a wandering daughter," who escaped from Russia to seek happiness and perhaps fame in motion pictures, is seen in her first part in "Wanderin, Daughters," a First National attraction, playing at the Lincoln Theatre Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This wandering daughter fought every inch of the way to reach Hollywood. After spending many years of her life in and out of Russian prisons, subject to Bolshevik brutalities; during which time her mother died of injuries; after seeing her father, Colonel George Kisiliff, executed; after losing her husband, Valdemar Volkonsky, in the war; she fled to America via Siberia, Japan and China. She is an accomplished dancer and singer. LONE COLORED SOLDIER In the Government School for Musicians, at the War College here, is one lone colored soldier who is taking the two-year course for Band Master. This soldier is John J. Brice of the 24th Infantry, now stationed at Camp Bennings, Georgia. About six months ago, Brice made application to enter the Government's school and as he had all the necessary qualifications including seven years of army service, the authorities here could not reasonably turn him down. Brice is the only member of our race in the War College Barracks and in the recent examinations, he stood second in his class, which numbers over a hundred white soldiers. When Brice finishes his course he will be given a Warrant Officer's commission. AH, A HORSE-SHOE. THAT MEANS GOOD LUCK FOR YOURS TRULY LET 'ER OUT, ED.

MASONS HAVE BIG TIME AT SUBURBAN GARDENS SUBURBAN GARDENS The giving of a sedan automobile by the Masonic Committee at the Suburban Gardens, Tuesday night attracted one of the largest crowds ever seen at the popular amusement park. The auto was given on a ticket number A-375, drawn by little Miss Arrington, age four. The holder of the number drawn was Mr. W. H. Middleswart, 1414 Girad Street, northwest. Mr. Middleswart was out in Indiana and did not know that he held the lucky number. The drawing was preceded by dancing on the big pavilion, with music by a popular orchestra. Grand Master Mitchell said that this was one of their most successful entertainments in the interest of the new temple at the corner of 10th and U Streets. The next event will be a field day at the American League Park. Early in October, the Committee, which is composed of the Masters of the sixteen subordinate lodges of the District, will give another big contest. Work on the Temple is proceeding and it is the purpose of the officials to have it ready for tenants by the first of next July.

Nilles, in May, was knocked out in the eighth round by Georges Carpenter, the light-heavyweight. He was considered by followers of the ring Owen Tone to have been France's best heavyweight. Siki swung a left to the jaw of the white man who went down, face foremost, as though he had been struck with an axe. Before the fight, Siki was enraged over the decision rendered yesterday by the judge of the civil tribunal, giving Edmond Lapart an injunction forbidding the promoters to pay over to the Senegalese any part of the purse or stakes accruing from today's match.

JIM WAZSON JAZZ BEACH BABY TRAGED TO PROMINENT FAMILY When the young girl was arrested in Culpeper last week, a white lawyer appeared as her attorney and subsequently came to Washington to defend her. While the mother of the baby is known, little is known of the father. It was at the time alleged, that Barber, the Howard University student was the father; but this is doubted as the girl has been in Culpeper practically all the winter. Another report alleges that a prominent white business man of Culpeper is the father of the baby. The facts alleged in the last report seemed to have more foundation than the first. Mrs. Grant, who is the wife of Henry Lee Grant, a professor in Dunbar High School, is well known in Washington. Attorneys Mazyck and Love are representing Mrs. Grant in the case. Just when the case will come to trial is not known. A hearing on bail for Miss Robinson, who is charged with murder was to have been held Thursday afternoon but was put off until Friday. She has been held at the house of detention since her arrest last week.

The urgent. Shall we sit supinely by away? Where are our leaders? Not since the Emancipation of the four million Negro slaves in this country, has the need of an upstanding leader been so urgent with the race as to-day. The inexorable facts stress the question: Where are our race leaders? The crisis into which the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee has thrust the race, brings to light the humiliating conditions confronting our people. There is not a man, nor an organization that is big enough or influential enough to command respectful attention from the Administration, to the extent that simple and unqualified justice can be demanded in the matter of the manning the hospital with a complete Negro personnel. There are a few supposed "big Negro politicians" who, during the campaigns, are lauded for their supposed leadership of the race and for their supposed power with "the party." Not a single one of them has been heard from either in protest or demand. What has become of the pull that Perry Howard, Link Johnson, Phil Brown, Bob Church, Roscoe Simmons, Walter Cohen and Dr. Crossland are supposed to have with the Administration? Leaders of a race are men who render a service to that race. They are not the fellows who seek and secure fat jobs for themselves, and yet when a crisis demands that they demonstrate their influence with the powers that be, finds them absolutely powerless. The issue at Tuskegee is one of scientific attainment and opportunity for the Negro. There is a big opportunity for the Negro to demonstrate his scientific ability as well as obtain greatly needed opportunity for the training of professional people, male and female. The manning of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee is of far more importance to the race than all the political appointments that have been made by this administration. The failure to secure a full Negro personnel for the this government hospital means a halting of the progress of the race. Therefore, every person or organization that is supposed to have any influence with the powers that be and really desires to render the race a definite and tangible service, should throw himself and itself into this crisis and demand a complete Negro personnel for the Tuskegee Hospital. Let the supposed leaders demonstrate their ability to lead and prove their sincerity of purpose or forever take a back seat. The time is now and the demand is urgent. Shall we sit supinely by and let this big opportunity slip away? Where are our leaders? LOW SCHOOL NARKS CAUSE DEATH OF GIRL (Continued from page 1) kept it to herself.

Last Saturday she was apparently in a pleasant mood and went about her work as usual. It is understood, that she had planned to go on the Chesterfield's boat excursion that afternoon with a group of her friends. She was normal in every respect and her parents and friends did not suspect in the least that she was worrying. About 2:30 in the afternoon she went into the bath room; her aunt who was in an adjoining room when she that she heard a kind of strangulation noise, rushed to the bath room but found it locked. She called but received no answer. She then broke the door open just in time to see Miss Wooden sink to the floor. Dr. Thompson was sent for and when he arrived a few minutes later. Miss Wooden was unconscious. He was unable to revive her and she died in a few minutes. Her death was caused by excessive suppressed emotion which caused dilation of her heart. It is not however, an unusual case said Dr. Thompson. Funeral services were held at St. Augustine Catholic Church, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment was at Mt.

Adams I Am Music "Servant and Master am I; servant of those dead, and master of those living. Through me spirits immortal speak the messages that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. "I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. "I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand near by. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living. "One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, and insects of the field, and crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. "I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them and they are of me. For I am the instrument of Gods." Music is "Art"—Not a By-Product. A little girl on passing a display window in a music store the other day with her girl companion read this title page of a song, "I'd Give it All for You," with boisterous hilarity meantime exclaiming, "We don't want that kind of song, what we want is jazz, Jazz, JAZZ!" She was a little girl scarcely in her teens but the spirit of "jazz" music runs rampant in her veins. Undoubtedly that child goes to the public school and is being taught music are other school children. But she likes jazz and nothing but jazz, and this is one among hundreds of similar cases where appreciation for good and healthy music is lacking among the younger generations. There are numerous other cases of music students also who take music lessons for pastime, who do not value practice hours with any degree of certainty and regularity. They practice when no other duty calls them, and at any old time most convenient. They place far more importance upon social frivolity and engagements than on their studies.

"I AM MUSIC." time at practice in whining over exercises. They seldom see their lessons, many of them, until their recital hour and then they tell their teachers many adulterated truths. They would be great singers and instrumental performers too but their lack of appreciation of music as an art dulls their ambition and smothers their aspiration to shine in the music world. They look upon music as a 'By-product' only, a means to an end and not as a necessity in life. And there must be inspiration of the sould as "He who would enter the sacred temple of art must keep his soul pure," says Guimor Novaes. Let us see what some of the masters and great men have to say: "Always play as if a master heard you."—Schumann. "Let not a day pass, if possible without having heard some fine music."—Goethe. "Music is to the mind as air is to the body."—Plato. "Any fool can play a finger exercise but it takes a wise man to adapt what he has learned from playing such an exercise to the uses of his interpretative work."—Ernest Hutcheson. "The student should continually examine his own work with the same acuteness he would be expected to show, were he teaching another."—Joseph Hoffman. "Call in sweet music. I have heard soft airs can charm our senses and expel our cares."—Sir J. Denham. "Have you real talent—real feeling for art? Then study music—do something worthy of the art—and dedicate your whole soul to the beloved saint."—Longfellow. "The greater the advance we make in art the less we are satisfied with our work of an early date."—Beethoven. "Study only the best, for life is too short to study everything."—Bach. "There is no doubt that the seed of many virtues is in such hearts as are devoted to music; those who are not touched by music I hold to be like sticks and stones."—Martin Luther. "Music's a great and never-failing treasure to those who've learnt and studied it in youth."—Theophilus. "Those who think that music ranks among the trifles of existence are in gross error."—Gladstone. "Why music was ordained? Was it not to refresh the mind of man After his studies, or his usual pain? Then give me leave to read philosophy And while I pause, serve in your harmony."—Shakespeare. of applause when Mrs. Driskell was presented by Mrs. Alston. Mrs. Driskell expressed her appreciation for the loyalty of her workers and announced a more ambition program to be put over through the Dermis Cura System. At the conclusion of Mrs. Driskell's address, Mr. William Driskell, Sales Manager of Dermis Cura, was introduced and pleased his hearers with an interesting talk. Among the invited guests were Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Watson; secretary and Mrs. W. J. Trent; Prof. and Mrs. S. H. Archer; Prof. and Mrs. C. H. Wardlaw; Prof. and Mrs. Cyrus Campfield, Mrs. C. L.

By Mrs. Lucille L, Davis One game that was very popular when I was a little girl was called “Cross Purposes.” One player goes round:the circle of players and whispers in each one’s ear an aiswer he or she is to make tc the next player who comes after him asking questions, For instance, Grace goes round to Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, To No. 1 she whispers—“At ehurch.’ To No. 2, “Hot, weak and blue.” To No. 3, “An ox cart.” To No. 4, “I do not.” i ‘Thomas follows Grace, to ask any question he wants to.

Edwards, Sculptor From Mr. Tompson’s excellent book, which gives the history of the under- taking, it appears that less than five hundred dollars was contributed di- ‘rectly by colored people, of which one hundred dollars came from the New York Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, of which denomination Mr. Douglass had been a member. | The monument was unveiled in 1899, It was erected conspiciously in an open space near the railroad station. On account of certain changes re- garding the station and its approaches the position of the monument is now somewhat inconspicous; hence a move- ment is on foot to have it moved te Ee of the public parks, which will probably be done. The sculptor was Sidney W. Ed- wards, The bronze figure is eight feet high and stands on a pedestal of about the same height. The pedes- tal has on its sides extracts from ad- dresses of Mr, Douglass. His son, Maj. Chas. R. Douglass, posed for the figure. The pose is dignified and com- manding. It is intended to portray the attitude of the distinguished orator as he stood before a large con- course of people in Cineinnati and ‘made his first public address after the final ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. We can well imagine that we hear him saying in a tone of sober triumph: “Fellow Citizens: I appear before you tonight for the first time in the more elevated position of an American citizen.” ‘Those who knew Mr. Douglass: well will appreciate the strength of this work, It is not merely a man with such and such physical features, it is markedly personal, and clearly represents a person of more than or- dinary force and commanding pres- ence. For the statue itself as a mere work of prt, perhaps we may not rightly claim marked distinetion; few “portrait statues” have or ean have artistic distinction; and general- ly they need no interpretation, In connection with portrait statutes, symbolism or even adventitious figures or accessories are séldom used with advantage. Indeed, if a person has been sufficiently eminent, a mere portrait figure, or possibly a bare column or rough stone, may be a satisfactory memorial. The mat- ter was well covered by the epitaph which I think related to the Greek dramatist, Euripides. It ran some- thing like this: “This monument doth not make thee famous, 0 Euripi- des, but thou hath made this monu- ment famous.” In personal memorials, however, most of us desire a “likeness”; and one which bears not only a physical resemblance but which shows “charac- ter.” Here the artist has given us both, Mr. Edwards has done his work with a sympathetic apprecia- tion of his subject and, moreover, with taste and ability.

The queen also had a son who was t rule after the king’s death, and the king had a brother whom he wantec to rule. if One day the king told his servants to disguise themselves as soldiers and come into the castle and take the ‘queen, dress her as a slave girl, cover all of her face, except her eyes and take her away and never let her re- turn, In the meantime he told them to lock the son up and on the fifth hour of the seventh day to slay him. ‘The servants came and carried out the king's orders. Now, the son had heard all that was a happen and he put a sword under his jerkin, When the king sent some men to get him, he took out his sword and slew them, Because they took such a long time the king sent more ser- vants to_see what was delaying the return of the first gang of servants. The same thing happened to them as did to the others. ‘At last the king decided to go and investigate, When the son saw the king coming he put his sword in front of him, When the king walked in he met the same fate as did his servants. ‘The king’s brother went in search of the king when the king failed to return.

QUE UPASTIMNAION QTTOUNE | crn Whitelaw Hotel Not To Be Smee SE? . Sold at Public Auction Monday| Fatse Prorvers | Sale Averted By Action of Hotel Officials Notwithstanding the fact that the Whitelaw Hotel property situated at corner of 18th and\T Streets, N.W. was this week advertised to be sold at public auction on Monday, July 16, under a first deed of trust sale, it has been authoritatively learned from offi cials of the Whitelaw Apartment House Corporation, owners’ of the property, that the sale has been averted, by the payment of the ac- erued interest on the first trust for which obligation the property was to have been sold. Much satisfaction has been express- ed by all persons who have an inter- est in this property, and race enter- prises generally, at the news that the property is to be held. It is, however, very unfortunate that the business affairs of the Cor- poration were so handled as to cause the sale to be advertised thus crea- ting quite a deal of concern and alarm both among the investors and_ the public in general. From reliable sources information hhas been gathered to the effect that the existing obligations against the corporation both secured and unse- cured amount to a total of about $150,000. The real estate appraisal board having assessed the property at a value of $255,000, with an annual net income of about 25,000 (after ex. penses), it can be readily seen that the equity of the stockholders of the Corporation is about $100,000. The outstanding stock paid in being abou! $75,000, it can be readily seen that this stock is worth about one and one. half for one. One prominent stockholder, who ha: advanced several thousand dollars o! his personal funds to the Corporation stated that under no circumstances will this investment of the stockhold. ers; now worth one and one half for one, be permitted to be swallowed up through a sale of the property. It was explained that the financial dif- ficulty the Corporation now finds it- self in is due to its endeavor to carry out its obligations of very large monthly payments on the two trusts on the property, the same having been arranged so as to be paid off at the rate of $2000 a month. Efforts will be made now, it is stated, to"so re- duce these payments as to bring them safely within the net earnings of the building, and thereby preclude any further danger of facing a simi. lar situation in the future.

According to Baror Koziol’s letter he is desirous of mar- rying, a talented colored woman of America. In addition to desiring a colored wife, Baron Koziol desires a position with an American firm. His letter was written in English and easily leg- ible, Just how he got the name of the Murray Brothers Printing Co., he did not disclose. However, the address was perfect. The Baron's full letter is as fol- lows: Vienna, 12th of June, 1923. Dear Sir: ‘As a member of The Geographical Society in Vienna, I have a great in- terest for the culture of colored peo- ple in America, I heard your firm is the greatest in Washington, which is guided by a colored gentleman.

Editor The Washington Tribune: Looking through the news columns of one of the daily papers I was very much surprised to observe these head Ines: “War Department unable to find suitable site for bathing place for colored people.” Iwas the more set back when I re. membered the fact that the War De- partment found it so easy to find guns, ammunition, and all things needed tc send the colored boys to the World War to fight for “Liberty and Democ- racy.” Our brave War Department has a nerve of which it should feel ever- lastingly ashamed. It uncovers its blushing face and says to its Allies (who really know and appreciated the value of the brave black boys in the World War) that it cannot see its Dr. Morris is a weleome speaker both white and colored. When he was utrning into young manhood, he travelled all over the North with the late Frederick Doug- lass who called him “the young Fred. Douglass, an orator with a heart of fire and a tongue of flame.” Some years ago he won the State Oratorical Contest over all the col- leges of Massachusetts and later, in the same year, he won the National Oratorieal Contest over all the col leges' of Massachhsetts and later, ir the seme year, he won the Natinoa Oratorical College Contest at Pitts. burg over all-colléges of the Unite: States. fpcereny, in Banta; In the war I lost |the greatest part of my fortune; [henetore I received a position ir Vienna as a clerk in a bank.

Perhaps it is possible that a distinguished colored family is coming in this year (sum- mer) to Europe (to Germany or Aus- tria). I would be very enjoyed, if I could have the occasion to have a ‘meeting with such a family in Europe. I repeat, that I would be very hap- py, to marry a distinguished colored lady of a good family.
