Vol 3, No.14 CALL SPECIAL CONVENTION AT ATLANTIC CITY White University Graduates Hostile to Howard Men On Faculty For the first time in a number of years, the General Alumni Association of Howard University, will have a special summer session. Attorney W. Justin Carter, president of the Alumni Asssociation issued a call last week for the special session to be held at Atlantic City, N. J., August 29 and 30, next Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. Carter acted in conformity with the will of the Executive Committee of the General Alumni which held a meeting on July 21 last. The call for the meetings says: "The meeting was called to consider the situation which had developed since the annual meeting, to consider the appointment of the new Executive Committee and other Committees, and to consider matters of vital importance to the integrity, and sovereignty of the General Alumni Association of Howard University, which has been functioning for plus fifty years, and to meet fearlessly the challenge from any quarter to disrupt and corrupt this most notable body of colored men and women; and also to consider matters of supreme importance involving the social and spiritual welfare, the prosperity, the morale of the teaching force and student body, and the orderly and progressive development and expansion of our beloved Howard University." After full and free discussion, according to the notice, it was unanimously agreed upon, and President Carter ordered that a Special Meeting of the General Alumni Association be called and convened on the 29th and 30th of August, 1923, at Atlantic City, New Jersey; and that the country be broadcast with letters and through the public press of said meeting. The committee voted that the Agenda should include the matters discuss above, and also: (a) The demoralization of Athletics at Howard. The Remedy. (b) Faculties filled by personal appointees of the President without consultation with Dean or Faculties. (c) Deans of Faculties have no defined duties or functions. Result, Internal morale deplorable. (d) Dismissals, demotions and the atmosphere of oppression and threats destroys the foundation for building up a truly manly, courageous and unafraid leadership of the Colored Race. (e) To maintain INVIOLATE in Howard University the principle of ACADEMIC FREEDOM in the Board of Trustees, in the teaching force and in the student body. (f) A demand that the ballots cast by the Alumni for Trustees shall receive due consideration, and the Alumni duly recognized. The agenda of the coming meeting brings to light the discontent that exists at Howard University. This discontent is now about to assert itself in the form of-a revolt against what the Alumni believes to be the autocratic ruling of President Durkee. According to well informed people, there is now being waged a bitter fight among the faculty members. On one side are the teachers who are now Howard men, but are graduates from white colleges, and on the other side are the Howard graduates. (Continued on page 5) The Washington Tribune RIDE IN PULLMAN MAY CAUSE TROUBLE Goldsboro, N. C.—When Allen Moses, wealthy business man of this city and his wife, left here last week on their summer vacation in Washington and New York City, they left in the style that their money justified, which was in choice Pullman berths. When the whites of this little town learned of this fact, they became incensed. One citizen stated that this is the first time in the history of the city that a Negro has had the nerve to buy sleeper tickets here. Although Moses is a well-to-do business man and has lived here for some time, the white citizens are rounding the Ku Klux Klan up to give Moses a warm reception on his return home. NOTE: Mr. Moses could not be located in Washington by Tribune reporters. ARREST DANCER FOR VULGARITY ON LOCAL STAGE By J. A. C. One of the most disgraceful situations ever presented in any local playhouse culminated in the arrest of one, Sadie Berts, on the stage of the Lincoln Theatre last Friday night during the usual "Talent Night" performance. A well deserved charge of disorderly conduct was placed against her at the Eighth precinct and a collateral of $25 was exacted for her release, which was forfeited in police court the following Monday morning by her failure to answer to the above charge. Appearing as an added attraction with a local musical organization competing for the trophy offered each Friday night, this performer proceeded to endeavor to impress the audience with her terpsichorean ability with some of the most depraved, vulgar and disgraceful movements ever witnessed on any local stage. Taking for granted that the whole audience approved of this uncouth action because the gallery was sending forth its obnoxious whistling and yells, she took an encore and here added insult to injury by making a general expose of her lower extremities by lifting her flimsy outer garment to a height that would have made the most ardent admirer of burlesque productions, hang his head in shame. Had the proper vigilance been exercised, this disgraceful climax would never have been reached. Managers of theatres should always be in a position themselves or have somebody as a "stand by" to exercise the proper censorship over all performances especially where amateurs are involved, and be ready to "pull" the act at the slightest semblance of unseemliness. It should be seen to that in the future a sufficient protection of the public will be exercised by those in authority in dealing with matters of this kind to the extent that patrons, especially women and children will not be subjected to embarrassing situations brought about by performers who are lacking in self respect. Published Weekly TO CHA EGEE HO. FRANCE TO CURB MADE-IN-AMERICA RACE PREJUDICE Is Only Nation to Give a Square Deal to Negro Troops In the press dispatches from Paris, France, the following is noted: "Premier Poincare has written a letter to Georges Barthelmy, member of the chamber of deputies, who had notified the premier of his intention to interpellate the government on the recent incidents that have arisen over foreigners objecting to the presence of colored Frenchmen in places of amusement and restaurants. The premier says his attention has been called to several such incidents recently and points to the official warning issued to foreigners informing them that they are the guests of France and that, as such, they should respect her customs and laws. "The premier adds that he has asked the minister of the interior to take measures to prevent a recurrence of such incidents and to decide what punishment can be inflicted upon proprietors of establishments which do not welcome colored people on equality with whites. The premier says he will closely follow the situation but will leave it in the hands of the minister of the interior, to whose department belongs the duty of seeing that the French laws of equality are strictly observed. "M. Barthelmy notified the government he intended, as soon as parliament opened, to demand to know why Americans who raise riots in Montmarte because Negroes are admitted are not punished. "Premier Poincare's reply, given out today, scrupulously avoids mentioning the word American, but it promises punishment both for foreigners objecting to Negroes and restaurant keepers refusing to serve black men. "The American film, 'The Birth of a Nation,' was to have been produced here today, but the police prohibited it. The film had passed the censors a fortnight ago. It is understod that the prefecture of police objected to the presentation on the ground that it dealt with the relations between whites and blacks." There seems to be an organized group who are trying to transplant American race prejudice in France. In some quarters it is believed that this is being done by France's enemies; the object being to heap so many insults on the French Negro that he will revolt against France. If this is done it would greatly weaken France's hold on her Negro soldiers, who, at present, are the backbone of France's huge army. Thousands of these black soldiers are holding the Ruhr strongholds. If by introducing segregation in France, these men can be made discontented, it will greatly embarrass France in carrying out her present program, which is just what her enemies desire to see. France is the only country which used Negro soldiers in the World War that has given them full justice since the armistice was signed. The Negro soldier in France enjoys full equality both in the army and in civil life. Egyptian Pageant, "C. at American L. Events promptly at 12 WINS CLAIM TO $54,000 ESTATE Mr. Alex H. Brooks of 2034 Seventeenth Street has successfully won his claim and right to the estate of his brother which is valued at $54,000. Mr. Brooks's brother left his father's home over 55 years ago and no word was heard from him for many years. During this time, the young man had changed his name so as to avoid detection by his father and family. The family believed him dead since 1866. However, a short time ago Alex H. Brooks learned that his brother had died in Pennsylvania and that his estate has been turned over to the state. Brooks immediately started a fight to establish his claim, as he was the next of kin, there being no other brothers or sisters living. After a bitter fight, he came out victorious. He was awarded the entire estate. Mr. Brooks is well known in Washington having lived here for a number of years. He will continue his residence here. WHITES BREAK WINDOWS IN DEAN'S HOME To purchase a home, move his furniture in on Monday afternoon and not sleep there that night; but, on returning Tuesday morning to find eleven windows broken out during the night, was the experience of Dean D. W. Woodard, of Howard University, this week. Last April Dean Woodard purchased the fine brick house at 127 W Street, northwest with the view of making it his home. Monday he sent some of his furniture over to the new home and intended to finish moving Tuesday, remaining in his home on Howard Place Monday night. During Monday night, it is alleged that three white men stoned the house, breaking out eleven windows. Captain Oyster was informed of the outrage and he gave instructions to number eight precinct for full police protection for Dean Woodard and his property. Since then the Dean states protection, and that Capt. Russel Dean that he has been given the fullest in charge of the Eighth precinct has given his personal attention to the policing of that section. Dean Woodard stated that he was not intimidated at all by this event and that he feels that no man has any right to dictate to him as to where he shall live. He expects to remain there and the house is not for sale at any price. The crackers in that section have stoned other homes when they were informed of colored families moving in. Prof. Dodson is reported to have had the same experience. F. K. Watkins, of Durham, N. C., spent Thursday and Friday in Washington enroute to Chicago to attend the Grand Lodge of Elks. This is a direct contrast to the treatment accorded the American Negro soldiers who have not been given any form of recognition, but, however, have been insulted at every turn both in the army and out. BATHING BEACH PLANS DISCARDED BY WAR DEPT. No Suitable Location is Given as Excuse by Sec'y Weeks Unwilling to give the Negroes of Washington a bathing beach on the Tidal Basin where the white beach is located, and unable to find any other location that the Negroes will accept, Secretary of War Weeks has decided to give up the matter for the present, apparently with the hope that time will settle the matter or that the Negroes will forget it. The War Department officials under Mr. Weeks, have been quibbling over the location of this beach for over two years. Col. C. O. Sherrill, who is under Mr. Weeks, and who President Coolidge recently reappointed in charge of public buildings and grounds has steadfastly refused to approve or recommend a site on the Tidal Basin which is the logical place for the beach. Secretary of War Weeks has been approached a number of times by various civic organizations on this matter but was refused to give any of them any satisfaction. The announcement that the beach plans had been given up for the present, comes at a time when Secretary Weeks is a bigger factor in the administration than ever before. It is a known fact that he is one of the powers behind the throne of President Coolidge. If Mr. Weeks desired in any way to be fair in this matter, he would immediately order the beach located on the basin. The Tidal Basin is maintained by the taxes on the District of Columbia and is an ideal place for a beach, in fact, the only place where such a beach could be established. Because the whites have a beach there and Negroes are excluded, (although they have a perfect right to go there) Secretary Weeks, of the War Department, bows to petty Southern prejudice and refuses to mete out justice to all. The announcement from the war Department about the beach coupled with the appointment of Col. Sherrill and C. Bascom Slemp, is certainly the hand writing on the wall and it is bound to be properly interpreted by all Negroes of the District. However, the fight for a beach on the Tidal Basin will continue. As Negroes have a just right to use the beach already on the basin, they may just as well assert that right now as any other time. If cheap office holders can dictate just what rights Negroes are to enjoy and what rights they are to be denied, then all that is necessary to bring this form of slavery up to date is to bring back the auction block. LOCAL U. N. I. A. TO HOLD CONVENTION The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League of the 183rd Division, will hold its first local convention at Lincoln Memorial Temple, August 27, 28, and 29. All churches, civic organizations, fraternities, etc., are invited to have one or more delegates in attendance at this convention. IS AT HO EARING BROTHER OF DEAN LUCY SLOWE DEAD Philadelphia, August 20—Dr. William Myers Slowe departed this life on Saturday, August 18, age 47 years. He had practiced dentistry in Philadelphia for the past 18 years. He was graduated from Lincoln University in 1897, and from the School of Dentistry, Howard University in 1901. Dr. Slowe served over seas in the World War as Lieutenant in the Dental Reserve Corps of the 924 Division, being mustered out with the rank of Captain. He was a member of the George P. Cornish Post, American Legion. He is survived by one brother, John A. Slowe, of Chicago, Ill.; three sisters, Mrs. Nellie Slowe Hawkes, of Philadelphia; Miss Charlotte E. Slowe, of Wilmington, Delaware, Miss Lucy D. Slowe of Washington, D. C.; and one nephew, Alvin Slowe Hawkes of Philadelphia, Pa. MASONS IN AN- NUAL FIELD DAY AND PAGEANT Washington is again to be entertained by a most unique field day and pageant under the auspices of the Order of the Eastern Star, assisted by the Masonic Fraternity of the District of Columbia, at the American League Baseball Park, 7th and Florida Avenue Northwest, Saturday, September 1. Plans have been made this year to make this field day the most elaborate ever witnessed in Washington from the points of attendance as well as interesting features. The principal event of the day will be the "Opening of King Tut's Tomb," a pageant rendered by the Order of the Eastern Star assisted by the Masonic fraternity and Mecca Temple No. 10, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Washington and visiting Nobles from Baltimore. Mrs. Sallie M. Stockton, chairman of activities of the Order of the Eastern Star, together with Mr. Frank D. McKinney, chairman of the committee from the Grand Lodge, decided for the pageant this year an exact reproduction of this wonderful and instructive event. Under the skillful and artistic direction of Mrs. Mary Thompson the nine chapters of the Eastern Star and a committee from the Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges, Mecca Temple No. 10 A. E. A. O. N. M. S, will render the pageant. King Turt and Queen Tut will be represented by the Worthy Grand Patron. F. E. Hearns and Worthy Grand Matron Mrs. Marion Stewart Lewis whose retinue will consist of the various Pharaohs whose cast will be taken by the patrons of the chapters and their queens by the matrons accompanied by hundreds of attendants, courtiers, dancing girls and Egyptian soldiers. Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter, his assistant, will be represented by the M. W. Grand Master Mr. Jessie H. Mitchell and Mr. George Sydnor. A grand battalion drill will be given by the commanderies of Knights Templars of the District under the auspices of the Grand Commandery. A prize will be given the Commanderies having the highest and next highest percentage of their uniform membership present and participating. The baseball game between the Odd Fellows and Elks is the talk among the fans of Washington. The two teams are among the best of the Washington teams, and each is waiting the day to decide their superiority. Mr. William H. Davis, Grand Treasurer of the District Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, is personally leading his team while Mr. John F. Ross, Exalted Ruler of Columbus Lodge No. 85, is piloting the Elks. A gift of $25.00 goes to the winning team. Star Baseball Game at Saturday, September 1 Cents. Children, 12 yrs. and Washington's Best Advertising Medium. OWARD CRISIS LOCAL DOCTORS CERTIFIED: MAY REFUSE TO GO Race Doctors Expected to Hold Out for Complete Negro Personnel Major R. R. Moton, according to the latest reports, is now marshalling together a committee of white and colored to come to Washington next week to further support their demand that no Negroes be appointed to administrative positions. The committee is now trying to make appointments with Director Hines and President Coolidge. Appointments are now being sent out to doctors who have been certified for staff positions at the Veterans' Hospital located at Tuskegee. Several local physicians received their notices this week. However, the salaries being offered are, in most cases, so low that it is doubtful whether or not any of the men selected will accept. In many cases the salaries are below that stipulated by the Civil Service Commission. While doctors for staff positions only are being certified, there is little likelihood that these men will accept the appointments until colored doctors are appointed to the three administrative offices. The doctors recommended by the committee of the National Medical Association, agreed to accept appointment only under a complete Negro staff, and not many, if any, will accept service under any other conditions. The fight, now being waged by the progressive group of the Negro race for a complete Negro personnel at this hospital, has now reached its climax. It has narrowed down to practically two sides with all who are interested, lining up with one side or the other. The fight for a complete Negro personnel is being led by a special committee of the National Medical Association; while the fight for a white personnel, or white domination and control, is being led by a white committee from the town of Tuskegee. So far as the whites are concerned, their front is solid, all of them being unalterably opposed to Negroes holding any positions other than minor ones in the hospital. The Negroes are divided; a small, but organized minority of them being out and out workers for white domination and control. Among the Negroes prominently lined up as tools of the whites and betrayers of their people in this fight are Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and a prominent office holder and physician from the West now living in Washington. According to well informed circles, were it not for these two Negroes, the race would have won its fight a long time ago. In addition to the infamous telegram published in this and four other papers recently about Major Moton's activities, The Tribune states on authority as high as that of General Hines of the Veterans' Bureau himself, that Major Moton has not stood for a colored personnel, and further, that the proposal to name white men e and Battalion Drill er 1, 1923. and under, 25c at gates.

Phone Potomac 1643 ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS A crowd of drunken white youths congregated in the neighborhood of Fairfax and Wolfe streets Sunday night and began to seek trouble. When two colored people, Nelson Washington and Virginia Brown, passed the gang of drunks, they were assaulted. According to the statement of J. D. Hellwedge, white, of 407 South Royal street, who was sitting on the steps in front of her home, one of the whites struck Washington in the face. A fight ensued in which Albert Poss, white, of 328 South Washington street was cut through the abdomen so severely that his internal organs were ripped from his body, and Leonard Ramey of 501 Wolfe street received a severe cut across his hip. The boys were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Poss and Ramey are both nineteen years old. Both admit that they were in fault. Ramey will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Poss's condition continues to be very critical. Nelson Washington and Virginia Brown live at 626 South Lee Street. Each claims responsibility for the cutting. The woman claims that she did the cutting with a safety razor blade, Washington declares he did it with a knife which he later threw into a sewer. Both were committed to jail in default of $10,000 bonds each, to await the outcome of the wounds. On the night of the affray Ramey made the remark to the police: "We were drunk. We were looking for trouble, and we must have found it." School permits will be issued one day only to colored children from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Friday, September 7. Permits will be issued from the Lee School, corner Prince and Henry streets.

The schools will open September 11. White children will be given permits at the same hours from Monday to Thursday inclusive at Lee School.

EASTERN ASSOCIATION LEAGUE STANDING NEEDS TO BE BALANCED With the Hilldale and Cuban Stars coming down the stretch noses apart the Eastern Association officials are face-to-face with the proposition of balancing the standing of the league clubs. The total number of games to be played, the exact number of times each club meets the other and the approximate closing date should have been decided long ago but it does not appear that anything definite has as yet been determined. In reviewing the standing of the clubs as sent out from Darby (Pa.) which includes games played on August 18, one finds a variance of from three to twenty-seven games in the total number played by the clubs. Hilldale, the pace-setter, has played most games, forty-two. The Cuban Stars in second-place have played twenty-nine while the Brooklyn Royals in the fifth notch but fifteen. From these figures it can be clearly seen that the pennant race is not an open affair. The Cuban Stars could not win the pennant on their merit if at the close of the season there exists such a difference in the total number of games played. Fans of the East have taken much pride and delight in the association Series between association teams draw better than any others in Race baseball. Members of the circuit are making more money than ever before. The writer has seen the majority of the league clubs in action and knows that the brand of baseball the fans of this section are getting this year is really superb and of major league caliber. But the officials are neglecting the business phase and the organization side and by so doing are threatening the future of the association.

The News, a Race weekly of New York city, has launched a campaign for Colored umpires at Protectory Oval, the home of the Lincoln Giants. The News is to be commended for its stand and here is hoping that the fans will back this movement even to the extent of missing all games until the change is made. The success of the local tennis tournament held last week by the James E. Walker Tennis Club does credit to that body. The event was well conducted and skillfully handled in every particular. Not a single major hitch was noted in the staging of the matches although the affair was rushed through and completed two days in advance of the scheduled time. It is to be regretted that the ladies of Washington take such little interest in the game. Since the retirement of Miss Slowe, formerly national champion, and Miss Thomas' abandonment of the city, every bit of enthusiasm among the ladies has departed. There is at present no future for us to look toward annexing the national championships in the female group. The city stands without a representative. Still, the winning of any honors on the tennis court is secondary to the healthful benefits the members of the fairer sex can get from the game. Physicians recommend tennis as an ideal game for all ages and sexes. The athletic girl is always popular. It is indeed sorrowful to see her pass out here. Washington has always taken the lead in fostering Colored tennis movements. Until last year our players dominated the championship events. However the game is rapidly spreading and as a city gets a player of ability that city's tennis stock takes a sudden leap. There is sufficient interest here to warrant putting the game on commercial bases by building temporary stands and charging admission to witness the contest. To get the people aroused who do not play the game should be the future aim of tennis clubs. Tennis can still remain amateur in nature, afford exercise to the majority and yet be made a paying sport.

Musical Embellishment with Lights BAND CONCERT EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT FROM ..8 to 9 o'clock THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. AUGUST 25, 1923 Big Crowd To Greet Return of Potomacs Big Crowd To Greet Return of Potomacs The largest crowd of the season is expected to greet Ben Taylor and his aggregation next Sunday at the American League park when they take on the Norfolk Stars in a single game series. Many new faces will be noted in the Potomac line-up. The best known individual being "Stringbean" Williams, formerly of the American Giants and lately ace of the Brooklyn Royal Giants' staff. Feft fielder Spike from Camden (Pa.) is another star of the first magnitude that has helped to make the Potomacs stronger than ever before. The advent of new blood into the ranks of Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs has started the club on a pace hardly equaled at any time this season. The club has lost but three of its last thirteen games. Only one game of this total was played with a Colored club. The Lincoln Giants meeting and defeating the locals, 7 to 6 in New York Sunday. In the line-up of every white club the locals have met, are numbers of league stars. Few of these clubs however, have be nable to extend the however, have been able to extend the Taylormen. The work of four players well-known by local fans has featured the sensational clip maintained by the club. Pitcher Albritton has been the club's mainstay. Early in the season Albritton was in the toughest of luck dropping most of his games by one run margins. Luck has turned however and Taylor has turned down numerous offers for the slippery ball flinger. The fans can remember the startling improvement shown by Goodrich the last time the club was here. This little Texan has few equals at the hot-corner in the East now. The brunt of the catching burden has fallen to Eggleston and he has filled the bill wonderfully, while his batting has been hard. At Hazelton (Pa.) last week he hit a home run, the longest on record there, that carried over 400 feet on the fly. Jefferson has finally found himself at bat and is leading the club in this respect. Brown, one of the best utility men in Colored baseball, has been brought to the infield and is covering second in clever style. Owens, the Dayton (Ohio) product is covering the shortfield left vacant by the absence of Morty Clark who went to the Black Sox to manage the club. Outfielder Washington who broke his ankle early in the season is guarding his post with class and has all the earmarks of a real star. Manager Taylor has entirely recovered from the illness that forced him out of the game when the club was here before and right now is hitting harder than ever. The aggressiveness and ever fighting spirit of the club has caused quite an abundance of favorable comment from the press wherever it has played. BLACK SOX TAKE TWO With two former Richmond Giant pitchers, Carter and Mitchell, in form Sunday, the Baltimore Black Sox took a double-header from the Ascension club of Philadelphia, by the scores, 9 to 5, and 10 to 2. The Black Sox are now mixing it with the Lincoln Giants in a five-game series which began Thursday. VA. ALL-STARS TROUNCED VA. ALL-STARS INQUENCED The Gladiators traveled to Alexandra last Sunday and gave the All-Stars an unexpected defeat. Allen Beckham, the All Stars' ace was driven from the mound in the seventh, and the Gladiators romped away with a 12 to 6 victory. The Gladiators would like to meet all fast teams around Washington and especially Deanwood A. C. For games write F. A. Browne, Mgr., 1645 11th St., N.W. After undergoing a defeat at the hands of the Gladiators the All-Stars went down in defeat before the East Washington Braves whose hard hitting made Brodus Beckham look like a kid-lotter. The game went five rounds, the final count being 12 to 6. INGRD MANAGER BEN TAYLOR will bring his warriors home for a single game Sunday against Norfolk St ars. 10 CATCHER EGGLETON whose catching and batting has been a feature of the Potomacs' road work.

HILLDALES CLUB HENDERSON Philadelphia, August 19—In baseball often times, a good twirler will have the measure of the opposing club; he just walks into the box and the other side is beat. Such seemed to be the case with "Rats" Henderson, the star flinger of the Bacharch Giants of Atlantic City, against the Hilldale Club. But yesterday's game dispelled all that illusion, as the sluggers of the clan of Bolden simply hit "Rats" so hard that they caused his retirement in the sixth inning, also winning the game by the score of 6 to 4. This is the third time this week that "Rats" was forced to take the bitter dose of defeat. He lost Wednesday's game, Thursday's, and bowed to the inevitable on Saturday. Clint Thomas and Judy Johnson, between them, drove in five of the six runs scored by Hilldale.

The final score was 10 to 7. Three pitchers were used by each club. Adams pitched splendidly until he weakened in the eighth. Parker's effective relief work saved the game for the winners. Adams connected for a single, double, triple and home run. Kenner's fielding was sparkling. Twilight League RESULTS OF THE WEEK Teddy Bears 10; LeDroit Tigers 7. Buffaloes 8; Brookland Giants 1.

Miss Adalaide Hall is forging rapidly to the front. A few years ago in the rear ranks of the chorus, she has made her "stage presence" so much felt that she is now a ranking principal. Her rendition of "Gingerbrown" and "Love Bug" are decided hits. The musical bomerang is "Old Fashion Love" and it takes Miss Ina Duncan, ably assisted by Miss Hall and Arthur Porter to really "put it over." The "female quartet" fairly stampedes the house at each performance. Misses Hughes, Harvey, Deas and Duncan render "Runnin' Wild," "Lil' Gal," and "Didn't it Rain," in such a manner that it drives the music bugs rabid with enthusiasm. "Bobbie" Lee as "Ginger" in the strut number, "Gingerbrown," by Miss Hall and Chorus, makes one think of Geo. Walker. The Lyric tenor voice of Eddie Gray is very much in evidence throughout the performance. "Bass" Foster and "Bass" Woodson can certainly "bear down." Miss Georgette Harvey, always pleasing to D. C. audiences, is outdoing herself in assisting in upholding the musical integrity of the production. Miss Mattie Wilkes is another D. C. favorite who is showing to an advantage. Messrs. Lionel Monagas and Chas. Olden, after eight years in the dramatic 'limelight, return to musical comedy in a blaze of glory. No dancer has ever been seen in a like production who is lighter on his feet than "Tommy" Woods in his acrobatic "Red Cap" dance number. He is ably assisted by Billy Andrews Ralph Cooper, Chas. Saltez, Jos. Wilson, Jimmie Taylor and Leon Irving an old D. C. boy. Billy Andrews and Miss Vivian Harrison very cleverly put over their "Valentino Jones" apache dance number. Miss Katherine Yarborough has been christened "assistant stage man-agress" by some of the boys. Misses Marie Devoe, Percil Wiggins, and Amy Roden style themselves as the "squab vamps." Wesley Hill is the "Bluebeard" of the company. The $16,000 special-built Pierce Arrow of Mr. Lyle is a revelation to D. C. auto enthusiasts. He can really repose in it. Geo. White, prominent Broadway producer of the "Geo. White Scandals" fame, who is the "hard iron" backer of this production, is to be commended for his patient, painstaking attitude toward the show. We watch with interest Mr. White's every move in taking care of every detail which subsequently is bound to have a reaction of which he and our race will be proud. URBAN LEAGUE ANNOUNCES FELLOWSHIPS New York City—The National Urban League through its Executive Secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones, has AMOS HOKUM SENT THE INSURANCE CO. E TO TAKE OUT US? COME IN SIR, I THINK I WILL GET INSURED TODAY AN'NOW MAY I ASK YOUR LAOY, I REPRESENT THE BUMOPOLITAN INSURANCE CO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE OUT A POLICY WITH US? COME IN SIR, I THINK I WILL GET INSURED TODAY announced its fellowship awards for the next school year. Miss Ethel E. McGhee of the 1923 class of Oberlin College and a resident of Atlanta, Ga. receives the Ella Sachs Plotz Memorial Fellowship to the New York School of Social Work. Miss McGhee was an honor student at Oberlin College having previously been graduated with an excellent record at Spellman Seminary in 1919. The other successful candidates are Miss Irene E. Ruff of Haverhill, Mass., School of Framingham, Mass., in the class of 1918, and formerly a secretary of girls' work in the Y. W. C. A. Abram L. Harris, of Richmond, Va. an honor graduate of Virginia Union University, class of 1922 and formerly Assistant in the Department of Research of the National Urban League and Loratius L. McKenzie of Minden, La., a graduate of the University of Michigan in the class of 1922 who secured his master's degree at Michigan in June 1923. These candidates were selected as the result of competitive examinations taken by 36 out of 70 applicants from schools and colleges located in every section of the country. These awards carry with them free tuition in the schools to which the candidates are assigned and in addition about $500 in cash. The Ella Sachs Plotz Memorial Fellowship consists of income from a fund of about $10,000 contributed by friends of Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz, who before her death was most active in aiding the League to carry on its program of Social Service. In addition to the New York School of Social Work the candidates will be assigned to the Boston School of Social Work at Simmons College, The Graduate School of Social Administration of Chicago University, and the Margaret Morrison College of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh. LOCAL DOCTORS CERTIFIED to the three administrative positions was fathered by none other than the same R. R. Moton, in his secret conference here. This admission from Director Hines came after a delegation of prominent physicians had called on President NBAR (Continued from page 1) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 AN'NOW MISS ANTICK, MAY I ASK YOUR AGE? I HAVE SEEN TWENTY TWO SUMMERS Coolidge and later called on the Director. The Tribune further learned this week that as far back as November of last year, Major Moton committed himself as being in favor of white control. While Moton was busy on the outside, the Federal office holder referred to, was doing his bit in Washington to prevent the appointment of Negroes to the administrative positions. This man, who is himself a physician and a candidate for a job at the hospital, has committed himself to the Veterans' Bureau as being willing to accept an appointment in the Hospital under a white head, and suggested that no other Negro besides himself be given an administrative position. When last June it seemed as if Dr. T. Edw. Jones, assistant surgeon at Freedmen's Hospital in this city, and a wearer of the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in action in France, would probably be named for the head position, this office holder and physician, rushed to Senator Heflin's office here and gave the information to the Southernner's secretary that Dr. Jones would be a bad man to send to the Hospital. This was immediately transmitted to the Senator in Alabama. He further niformed the Secretary that Jones was a former soldier who had "gone over the top" in France and if sent to Tuskegee would "go over the top" there if the whites interfered with him. He stated that Dr. Jones's proposed appointment should be fought. This happened before the Ku Klux Klan had staged its parade. However, a short time after this information was sent to Heflin, the Klan announced its plans for the parade. Since the announcement in the papers last June by Director Hines that he had virtually selected Dr. Jones for the head position, nothing more has been heard relative to the matter of his appointment. The Director now states that he thinks it unwise to appoint Negroes to administrative positions at the present. Just why the Director abandoned his first plans are not known. It is a well known fact that the whites have threatened trouble if the United States Government appointed Negroes to the head positions in this hospital. Evidence of this has been presented to Director Hines and the Department of Justice. The Ku Klux Klan used the sheets of the hospital in their parade there in defiance of the Government; conclusive and most damaging evidence of this also has been presented to Director Hines and the Department of Justice. Three nurses and two Negro appointees have been forced to leave the hospital by the Klan and the white head, Col. Stanley. These facts have also been called to Director Hines's attention and given to the Department of Justice. Has any of these matters been investigated? Why has no one been arrested? Why have the nurses not been ordered back to the hospital? Does the Government wink at all these violations of the Constitution and human rights? Is the United States Government afraid to call the guilty parties before the bar of justice? Is Director Hines acting impartially in this fight? Can the Ku Klux Klan bluff the Government and get away with the bluff? Perhaps Director Hines can answer some of these questions and President Coolidge the others. The matter of personnel has been dragging around the Veterans' Bureau for over six months. The white doctors are in and Negro soldiers are being sent to the hospital; but why is there no action on a Negro personnel as was promised over a year ago? Locals Mr. and Mrs. John F. Pinkney of 411 A Street, Northeast, are now taking their vacation in Croom, Md. Mrs. Fannie F. Dade of 413 A St., Northeast, was given a surprise party on the night of August 17 by her sister-in-law and nieces. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Nannie L.

MILLER AND LYLE'S NEW PRODUCTION A TREAT AT THE HOWARD By Chas. S. Johnson Going over to a whale of a nit, Miller and Lyle, justly pronounced as "America's Greatest Colored Entertainers," with their new show billed under the caption of "Runnin' Wild" is packin' 'em in nightly at the Howard. Altho in its incipiency, Washington theatrical fans are having their first opportunity of witnessing an honest-to-goodness "big time" production in its entirety with clean, bright, sidesplitting comedy, snappy music with an instantaneous punch, appropriate and colorful costumes and gorgeous scenery of prodigal colors with backgrounds of richest hue, all put together with considerable skill and competently presented by a sterling cast of players. The musical embroidery of the show seems destined to out-distance that of any of its rival productions. Besides being the product of the ingenuity of such renowned composers as Jas. P. Johnson and Cecil Mack, it is masterfully executed in the pit by a combination of sixteen talented musicians all of whom are internationally recognized as masters of their instruments, with the world's greatest colored musician, Will Marion Cook, directing. With "Jinnie" Johnson, himself, at the piano, there are ranged on both flanks such geniuses as H. L. Jeter, Wm. Carroll, Felix Weir, Hall Johnson, Alex Sewell, C. Harris, S. Yearwood, S. Thompson, R. Dunbar, W. Hicks, G. Brashear, H. Davis, C. Williams, A. Major, and Jno. T. Ricks. In taking care of the stage execution of this embellishment no more capable "leads" could have been selected than Miss Ravella Hughes and Mr. Geo. Stevens. The apparent possession of an indomitable purpose, real talent, great courage, comely appearance and a musician's soul, undoubtedly qualifies this pair for their chosen parts. Misses Georgette Harvey, Blanche Deas, Adelaide Hall, Ina Duncan, Elizabeth Welch; Messrs. Eddie Gray, Arthur Porter, and Chas. Olden, supported by one of the best By Watson WARSON singing choruses ever presented, more than do their share in putting over the "hits"—for truly every number has been a "real hit." Special stress must be laid on the terpsichorean presentations, the like of which, according to the most skeptical critics, has never before been seen in Washington. In Messrs. Woods, Stamper, Bryson and Robinson this company is presenting a quartet of the fastest, most amazing and sensational dancers that could possibly be corralled. The chorus which has been carefully trained by Miss Elida Webb, who, in the realm of stagedum is considered an authority on such matters, show all that could be shown in the execution of some of the most intricate knee twitching and "foot flinging" whirlwind numbers. All in all, as everybody is commenting it is "some show" and like old John Barleycorn, it is improving wonderfully with age. The slack which was somewhat apparent at the outset is being gradually tightened which is resulting in a merrier and madder performance at each rise of the curtain. AID·FOR MARCUS GARVEY SOUGHT A petition asking for an inquiry into the trial and conviction of Marcus Garvey who was convicted on a charge of fraud and is now in jail awaiting an appeal which was originally addressed to the late President Harding, was renewed with additional signatures by the "Marcus Garvey Committee on Justice." The special committee that came here last week to present the petition was composed of Mr. Wm. L. Sherrill, Mr. R. L. Poston and Mr. Tobias. Valparaiso, Ind.—Valparaiso University of this city has been purchased by the Ku Klux Klan. New trustees will be appointed from among the ranks of the Klan and a well defined course in constitutional law will be instituted. According to the editor of the "Fiery Cross" (the official Klan publication), no sectarian lines will be drawn after the Klan assumes control. All persons, regardless of religious beliefs or of color, who mee NO COLOR LINE AT KLAN'S UNIVERSITY Watson the educational requirements for entrance will be admitted as students. The Klan will change the name of the institution to the National University. TENDER INCIDENTS IN "CHILDREN OF DUST" What a poor little boy of the New York streets did to get one insignificant flower in a big private park is one of the many human incidents in "Children of Dust," a First National picture, which comes next week to the Lincoln Theatre, four days, beginning Sunday. It was directed by Frank Borzage, the young director who made "Humoresque." The story is simple, but pulsates with life as it is really lived. The old man is played with fine sensibility by Bert Woodruff, while the boy is done by Frankie Lee and later by Johnnie Walker. Pauline Garon, Lloyd Hughes, George Nichols and others make up the all-star cast. (Continued from page 1) It is claimed that the faculty members from the white colleges look with disfavor upon the appointment of Howard graduates who have not had any further education, to the University faculty; and that in this position they are being upheld by President Durkee. According to one Howard man interviewed this week, it is a hard and long fight for a Howard graduate to get on the faculty. This information further stated that the reason President Durkee is supporting the white college group is because if many Howard men are placed on the faculty, it will greatly embarrass his program, the Howard men not being willing to stand for many of the things that he has been putting over and proposes to put over. It is further pointed out as proof of the above contention that a bitter fight is now being waged to oust one of the deans at the University who is a Howard man, and has shown an unwillingness to support some of the measures put up to him. It is claimed that because of these and many other matters, that the Alumni is determined to wage a fight for a general clean up in the University personnel. 22 Cents p. m. - 10c PAGE FIVE HOWARD UNIVERSITY ALUMNI PAGE SIX Published Weekly at Washington, D.

Migration is steadily continuing. The boll weevil is persistently increasing. Weeds are growing up faster, cotton and as a result of this combination, the South is growing 1,000 a day, according to a report by Hester, the cotton of New Orleans. He estimates that the weeds, for a labor together with the boll weevil, will destroy 7,500 cotton this year; that, from an acreage that they will produce 18,000,000 bales, there will be picked 10,000. At the current price of 20 cents per pound, it costs $750,000,000 for the 7,500,000 bales that they will get. Hence, the $2,000,000 daily loss to the producer race-prejudiced South on account of pride and prejudice can she stand it? would be all would be for the South, but the world is at a loss of 7,500,000 bales of cotton in one year. Before Europe consumed 9,300,000 bales of American cotton and we took about 5,000,000 bales. In the last five years has averaged 6,000,000 bales per year, from America, the demands that number this year and consumption increases, as it most certainly will, the 10,500,000 bales a day by Hester will leave some country short. Features of big concerns in the South are being reported, a big cotton firm in Georgia failed for more than 100,000. The Negro is the best and most reliable fact production. With 500,000 of them migrating, they had to be felt. The South's system of tenant farming, other sections of this country. Such supplies as cotton and bacon, which are "advanced" to the tenants, the North and West. The merchants and big planters used these supplies last spring with the intention of cut out of this fall's cotton, are in a hole. Other trays, and possibly the South will some day awake, that God's law: "What a man soweth, that shall he also suitable. The South has sown the wind, with her K. discriminating, her disfranchising, her robbing and stealing of human rights, her failure to recognize the citizen, her growing race prejudice; and now she is reaping the whirlwind. May continue until humanity totally recognized and life and property safe in every South. Good plagued Egypt for her inhuman treatment of the man may the South expect her due retribution for her man, un-American and inhuman treatment of the Negro continue to migrate, the boll weevil to incipient failures multiply until the short-sighted, race-prejudiced farmers are brought to the full realization of the rest of the seeds, and a complete reformation is effected. The decreasing cheap labor supply of the Southern planter by the migration of more than 500,000 Negroes to the East, North and West, coupled with the increasing destruction of the boll weevil, has created a national problem for the South in particular and the country in general. The migration is steadily continuing. The boll weevil is slowly and insidiously increasing. Weeds are growing up faster than the cotton and as a result of this combination, the South is losing $2,000,000 a day, according to a report by Hester, the cotton expert of New Orleans. He estimates that the weeds, for lack of Negro labor together with the boll weevil, will destroy 7,500,000 bales of cotton this year; that, from an acreage that would ordinarily produce 18,000,000 bales, there will be picked about 10,500,000. At the current price of 20 cents per pound, this amounts to $750,000,000 for the 7,500,000 bales that the South will not get. Hence, the $2,000,000 daily loss to the proud, indolent, race-prejudiced South on account of pride and prejudice. How long can she stand it? That would be all right for the South, but the world is affected by the loss of 7,500,000 bales of cotton in one year. Before the war, Europe consumed 9,300,000 bales of American cotton, annually, and we took about 5,000,000 bales. In the last five years Europe has averaged 6,000,000 bales per year, from America. If Europe demands that number this year and consumption at home increases, as it most certainly will, the 10,500,000 bales as estimated by Hester will leave some country short. Failures of big concerns in the South are being reported. Just this week, a big cotton firm in Georgia failed for more than $2,300,000. The Negro is the best and most reliable factor in cotton production. With 500,000 of them migrating, the effect is bound to be felt. The South's system of tenant farming will affect other sections of this country. Such supplies as corn, wheat, and bacon, which are "advanced" to the tenants, come from the North and West. The merchants and big planters who purchased these supplies last spring with the intention of paying for them out of this fall's cotton, are in a hole. Other troubles will follow, and possibly the South will some day awake to the fact that God's law: "What a man soweth, that shall he also reap," is inevitable. The South has sown the wind, with her K. K. K., her discriminating, her disfranchising, her robbing and stealing, her raping of human rights, her failure to recognize the Negro as a citizen, her growing race prejudice; and now she is beginning to reap the whirlwind. May it continue until human rights are justly recognized and life and property safe in every hamlet of the South. As God plagued Egypt for her inhuman treatment of the Israelites, so may the South expect her due retribution for her unChristian, un-American and inhuman treatment of the Negro. May the Negro continue to migrate, the boll weevil to increase; and may failures multiply until the short-sighted, race-prejudiced Southerners are brought to the full realization of the results of their deeds, and a complete reformation is effected. THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION The annual session of The National Medical Association in St. Louis next week will be a history-making one, for at this meeting, the Association will be called upon to endorse the uniting efforts of its committee to place a colored personnel in the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee. annual session of The National Medical Association next week will be a history-making one, for at this m o n s i o n will be called upon to endorse the untiring a committee to place a colored personnel in the V e r al at Tuskegee. Association is to be complimented for the general a committee in the selection of the persons recommen terans' Bureau, and for its unqualified stand for a co personnel. This is one of the greatest issues th e before the race for many a year; and the fact that me National Medical Association appear to have stood as The Association is to be complimented for the general attitude of its committee in the selection of the persons recommended to the Veterans' Bureau, and for its unqualified stand for a complete colored personnel. This is one of the greatest issues that has come before the race for many a year; and the fact that members of the National Medical Association appear to have stood as a unit on the question, is encouraging to the race. The Association demonstrated wisdom and intelligence in the manner of selecting a few men to speak for it. The men selected have proven to be true to the Association, true to the cause they are representing, true to the race, and true to themselves. There is no evidence of selling out. They have placed the matter on a clean, high and open platform. Doctors Plummer, Dumas, Cannon and Kenney are to be commended for their manhood in the matter of holding up the capabilities and the competency of their brother physicians. Another feature that is very noticeable, is the fact that there is apparently no counter plan, proposition or movement in the National Medical Association to offset the excellent work of the executive committee. This is very unusual in our organizations and every member of the Association is to be commended for this. Another fact that has developed during this night of the Association for a colored personnel at Tuskegee, is the confidence of the executive committee in the personnel selected and recommended to the Bureau for appointment. This enables the committee to say to the President, as they did last week, and to Director Hines, that unless a complete Negro personnel is appointed, they will call off all of their men. This is evidence of real leadership of the type of which the race is in dire need. The race is behind the National Medical Association in its fight for a complete colored personnel at this institution which was built for colored veterans only. The committee handling this matter deserves the continued support of the N. M. A., which, if given, will make the committee, by reason of the group it represents, a big factor in waging the fight to a successful conclusion. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams Now the modern Russians. Tuned to the new tonality we traverse Scriabin like a pearl-colored tone cloud. Stravinsky, the storm center! Stravinsky's "Ragtime!" Our much maligned "ragtime" in Russian ears! Dissonanced and rhythmed madly and evoking a perfect glee of laughter! Ultra Modern Music Iconoclasm, Futurism, Impressionism—these three applied to music link the modern trend of the extremists in paintng, poetry and tone, a new theory of tone. ThereT is a parallel between the painting of the "Nude Descending the Staircase" with its cubistic, futuristic angles; between a German Stein poem with its jumble of words meaningless to the uninitiated, and to the Ornstein "The Cathedral," based in musical law upon "no preconceived ideas of any kind." Prokofieff's "Sarcasme" with its "polytonality' far, far from the dear sleeping major and minor scales has much more intriguing combinations of tone quality but Prokofieff grows lyric and we may call him modernly orthodox. These moderns disdain such things as time and tune and there you are! So Marion Rous dared to venture among the tone iconoclasts but it was a fascinating venture. Mence the Iconoclasts. As to the future, in the Ornstein "Cathedral," we find a state of mind that bespeaks the torments of world-war thoughts, from which we are not yet divorced. Strange, though, inspire of its noise, its thunderous bells, its mighty mass in tone surely bearing no preconceived formula in its tone-painting, a memory lingers of architectural immensity of hilden shadows, terrors of mystery, forms of ancient cathedrals whose essence suffuses all history and all the vast spiritual pilgrimages of man's impenetrable soul. Mrs. Maria Ricks—Deceased In the death of Mrs. Maria Ricks recently, an unsurpassed record of faithful service was brought to a fitting close. For forty-eight years she was a member of the senior choir of Metropolitan A. M. E. church serving as soprano singer. She was sixty-five years old. The fact that she remained in the choir loft during so many years is worthy of special emphasis just here. How many had come and gone from that choir up to the time of her demise would prove interesting data I am sure. Metropolitan's choir was experienced many changes in membership as have many others during those forty-eight years. Some quit for petty differences; don't like the director or organist or pastor or some particular choir officer, others because the business isn't conducted to suit, or the singing isn't good enough for their style and taste. Still others quit because they are not "petted" by those in authority and not given the leading solo roles; others because they class "self" as too important and want to be begged to sing; and a good many The French modern classics of Debussy and Ravel were overstressed, too ponderous for rain gardens or mental states of awe. They are the beginning of the Impressionists. Bela-Barok's gay and Chinese "Bear Dance" and an Oriental flower in the Italian Malipiero followed. Yet the latter, in a war-tinged "The Departure," held environment of nature and the Catholic Church. There was the German "geist" here. Poulenc was even commonplace in this ultra-modern ratio—Poulenc, one of the self-styled "six" anarchs in tone. It is the stormy petrel of today. You will, sans doute, want to go back to Mendelssohn and rest, but as a famous musician said, "Art becomes complex as life becomes complex."

Being a slave he had little opportunity for obtaining an education, but he was possessed of great intelligence and those traits which characterize every born leader of men. In 1851 he moved to Charleston where he familiarized himself with ships and ships. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was employed on the Confederate steamer 'The Planter' a vessel plying in Charleston harbor. He was determined to watch his opportunity and deliver the vessel to the U. S. naval officer of that district because he was in sympathy with the Federal cause. This bold exploit gave him wide repute. He was made captain of the vessel, and was highly esteemed by his superiors for his good sense, intelligence and bravery. After "The Planter" was put out of commission in 1866, Captain Smalls was elected IA S (Drawing Series, No. 8) You are to take the letter "s" as it appears above and make it a part of a picture.

The lone representative of the plastic arts in Baltimore is Ephraim Keyser, who was born in that city in 1852." a member of the State Constitutional Convention. He was, of course, the hero of an important act in the drama of the Civil War and his people always delighted to hear him tell, in his own style, the story of the capture of the Confederate Ship. The daring exploits of this distinguished representative is interesting reading to all children who love to read about heroes.

Fort Mills, S. C. By MORRIS MURRAY It may appear presumptive on my part to say it, but nevertheless, to me it does not seem strange that the South—the far South, at least—has produced no sculptors of distinction; that is, has reared and fostered none. Indeed it would have seemed strange to me if it had been, otherwise. It will be noted that Mr. Taft says merely that the two states mentioned have "given birth" to several sculptors. At the time he was writing (1903) these states had one sculptor each. Farther south theer was none. Moreover, it appears that Mr. Taft is 1 over-generous in crediting Kemeys to the South, for, while he was born in Savannah (in 1843), "his parents were Northerners and removed soon after to New York City"; as Mr. Taft states. Kemeys never afterwards lived in the South, and he fought through the Civil War in the Federal army. It would not be difficult, I imagine, using the above statements for a text, to preach a "lay sermon" here on the causes and consequences of the conditions stated; but that is outside the scope of our subject. I will say, however, that I think the difficulty is not so much lack of talent as lack of the environment, and the freedom, which fosters art of the higher, which means the nobler, class. Coming back to the statement that the leading cities of Maryland and Virginia, that is, Baltimore and Richmond, have but one sculptor each, we have naturally to inquire, have these sculptors or any of their predecessors ever depicted any Black Folk, and if so, after what manner were they portrayed? Seeing that Black Folk have surrounded these sculptors, indeed, would seem to have crowded into their attention, on every hand; and, moreover, seeing that these "picturesque and pathetic folk" have proved to be so attractive to Northern and foreign artists, one would suppose that in a goodly part of the works of these Southerners, Black Folk would appear; but, so far as my own search has gone, such portrayals have been astonishingly few. Apparently, Mr. Keyser, who is named as Baltimore's representative, has done no Black Folk whatever Richmond's representative, Edward Valentine, is credited by Mr. Taft with two of such works. He states that Valentine studied abroad and returned to Richmond (his birthplace) in 1865, at the age of twenty-seven. He then says of Valentine: "No commissions came to him in those dark days, but he did a number of ideal heads, among others... The Nation's Ward," a laughing darky boy. Another study of the African, somewhat akin to the contemporaneous 'Rogers groups' was entitled, 'Knowledge is Power,' and showed a negro boy, clothed in tatters, who has fallen asleep with his dog-eared book dropping from a very limp hand." (He also made a statue which he named "Unc' Henry." I have not seen a description of it.) The description of the Negro-boy figure is clear enough, but an interpretation of the sculptor's meaning is not so easy, especially in view of the name he gave the figure. Seemingly, it is intended to be a bit of sarcasm; but perhaps not. It brings to mind a discussion I once heard as to the meaning of the phrase—which happened to be the name of an Indian—"Afraid of nothing." Some held that it meant, if applied descriptively to a person, that the person was not afraid of anything, that is, was without fear. Others held that it meant just the opposite; that is, that the person was so excessively timid that he was not only afraid of everything but was even afraid of things less than imaginary—no thing at all. So Mr. Valentine's ragged Negro boy with the dog-eared book—asleep may be intended as an indictment, or it may be a take-off. Perhaps it was purpose to be, what, in view of its name, surely is, an inscrutable bit of ambiguity. In any case, its "art" is on a level with an "end-man's" joke.

The Girl and the Bird (Prize Letter, Series No. 9) Dear Editor: I enjoy looking at a picture like the one in the Tribune last week. It tells such a lovely story about a girl who has a bird that comes and sits on her window sill every morning to sing to her. This girl has taken notice and is trying to make life happier for this little creature that God has put into the world. She gives it food and water every day, and I know that life is more pleasant for her because of the good deed that she does for this little bird. This world would be a better place if every child and grown-up would be kind to birds. GERTRUDE E. ANTHONY (14) Vacation (Prize Letter, Series No. 10) Dear Editor: I am going to endeavor to tell you how I have spent my vacation so far, and how I am going to spend the rest of it. I attended the Dunbar High Summer School from July second to August eleventh. After summer school-closing which was a very delightful one, I went home, put my books away and did my Saturday chores. On the following Monday I was at a loss as to what I should do forgetting that it was washday but I found plenty of work to do. After I finish my work every morning, I usually sit around reading or sewing, or else I go up to the playground to enjoy a few hours of recreation. I went to Hyattsville to spend Sunday the twelfth and I had a delightful time. I do not think I am going away again this summer unless I go out there to spend a week or two before school opens. On the whole I have had a very pleasant vacation. I wish every Tribunite an enjoyable one also. I remain a true blue Tribunite, as ever, RUBY E. RUFFIN (13) Vacation (Prize Letter, Series No. 10) Dear Editor: This is a very nice cool breezy summer to take a trip or vacation. I am intending to go away to Baltimore to camp with the Salvation Army on the twenty-seventh of this month. This means very much to me because I am invited with other guests to make the trip free of charge. I have not been away this summer and because this is to be my first trip I hope that I will enjoy it. I did not go to summer school. I am sorry now, because I know that I need the training. Everybody needs a good education. No one can ever learn or know too much. When I return I hope to be well, fat and happy. ELEANOR WARD (10) Vacation Dear Editor: I am a new child to the "Children's Page," and I am sending in a letter concerning my vacation. I have two brothers. We went to the country to visit my grandmother. In the morning we would do our work and then we would take a ride in the woods on horse back. When we came back we would have to pick fruits.
