LOCAL DOCTORS REFUSE POSITIONS AT THE VETS HOSPITAL First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 15 PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL OPEN NEXT MONDAY MORN Record Attendance Expected. New Randall Junior High Ready. The school bell will summon over twenty thousand girls and boys to their respective schools Monday morning, September 17. In anticipation of one of the greatest opening day crowds in the history of the schools, Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson and his staff of helpers have made every arrangement possible, so that the enrollment and classification of the students may be done with the least possible trouble and delay. During the first three days of registration last year over 19,017 students registered. From the present outlook according to those well informed, this record will possibly be shattered next week. Although the registration may be greater in the schools, the crowded conditions that existed last year are not expected to prevail to the same extent this year. Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson announced this week that the new Randall Junior High School in the southwest, will be ready Monday. This school will be in charge of Prof. W. Smith Wormley. It is the second junior high school for our group in the city. However all of the building at this school is not as yet completed, therefore the ninth grade will not be housed there until the mid-winter term in February. Congestion Relieved The opening of this school will greatly relieve the crowded conditions at Armstrong and Shaw Junior High. It will also save the students who live in southwest and southeast much time and trouble in getting to and from school. In addition to the opening of the new Randall Junior High School, Prof. Wilkinson stated that a new two room school on Chain Bridge road will be opened about October 1st; also that Smothers School would have its four room addition ready about the same time. The Chain Bridge Road school will take care of the students living in the extreme northwest section of the District. The new eight room addition to Garrison School on Twelfth street, northwest was to have been ready next week, but the contractors are now about two months behind. However they are pushing this work through at a rapid rate and hope to be able to turn the building over to the School Board before the extreme cold weather sets in. Additional Buildings When this addition is ready it will greatly relieve the congestion in this section in the graded schools. Superintendent Wilkinson stated to a Tribune reporter this week that when this addition is ready, that he proposes to transfer enough pupils from the Cleveland School on T Street, to Garrison to make room for the transfer of the entire Business Department from Dunbar High School to the Cleveland School building. This change will take some 350 students from Dunbar and will greatly relieve the extreme crowded conditions at that school. With the opening of the second junior high school practically assured Superintendent Wilkinson is now going forward with the balance of his program which calls for two more such schools. Money has already been appropriated for the purchase of ground for a junior high in Georgetown, and when the new addition of 20 rooms to Lovejoy in northwest is completed a new junior high school will be established in this building. As announced in The Tribune last winter, when the new McKinley Manual Training School on Second street northeast is ready, the School Board will turn the present building, after (Continued on page 5) The Washington Tribune Change in Miner Normal Class Standing Causes Stir The discovering of an error in the class standing of 12 graduates of Miner Normal this summer has caused much excitement among the group who are rated between the numbers 30 to 41. The standing of this entire group has been changed because of the finding of this error. It seems that when Prof. Clark of Miner Normal sent his list of graduates with their averages and the order of their standing to Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, the person who made up the list in some way placed Miss Josephine Wood, whose average was 88.27, as 34, while Mrs. Anna Dodson, with an average of 87.94, was placed 30. Likewise, Miss Estelle V. Collins, with an average of 88.09, was placed 37 in the list. While the averages of Miss Collins and Miss Wood were correct they had been given the wrong numbers in the class standing. A clerk in Superintendent Wilkinson's office discovered this error and immediately it was ordered corrected. This placed Miss Wood as 30, bringing her up from 34, and brought Miss Collins from 37 to 31. However in bringing these two ladies to their proper places it of course pushed those who had been given a standing above them, down two points. It was further discovered that in the class standing, Miss Audrey Scott Wilson, whose average was 87.15, was placed as 37 while three other young ladies who had the same average were placed below her. Following the usual practice, she was then given a position according to the relation of W in the alphabet, which placed her 41. NATIONAL SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY TO MEET The National Sociological Society of which Prof. Jesse Lawson is president, will hold a conference on racial harmony at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, September 20, 21 and 22. In speaking of the coming conference, President Lawson said, "for more than a half century annual appeals have been made to Congress and the National Administration at Washington for the enactment of some law to protect colored citizens in the enjoyment of their freedom and the exercise of their Constitutional rights, but the appeals have been made in vain. Promises have been made at National Conventions and from the huslings in the political campaigns, but nothing substantial has been done by Congress to remedy the existing evil Roosting alive and burning of human beings at the stake had had no effect on the representatives of the American republic. Our prayers, our tears our entreaties have all been in vain before the Congress of the United States. Despairing of ever receiving any redress for the National Government, we now turn aside to the States with brighter prospects of success." The conference will hold day and evening sessions. Many prominent speakers will address the body. INDUSTRIAL BANK ENLARGED The Industrial Bank, 11th and U streets, northwest, has added more floor space to its banking quarters by moving the rear partition back fifteen feet. That takes over the space once occupied by Phil Cumey. He moved into the room vacated by The Standard Life Insurance Company, when they moved further East on U street. The Industrial Savings Bank has enlarged its quarters to accommodate the constantly increasing patronage of this, the oldest colored bank in the District. REFUSE ner Normal ing Causes Stir The changing of her standing so aroused Miss Wilson that she employed Attorney Jas. A. Cobb to conduct her fight to retain the class standing originally given to her. When the School Board met Wednesday for the first time this school year the matter was presented them for correction. The board took the following action: Amendments—Amend the minutes of the Board of Education at the meeting held June 27, 1923, in the report of the graduates of the Miner Normal School so that the report shall read, numbers 30 to 41, inclusive, as follows: 30' 88.27 Josephine Wood 31 88.09 Estelle Virginia Collins 32 87.94 Mrs. Willie Anna Dodson 33 87.88 Mabel Augusta Freeman 34 87.70 Eula Northelia Simms 35 87.58 Bessie Evans Russell 36 87.45 Thelma Rebecca Marshall 37 87.29 Mrs. Elsie G. Sewell Horad 38 87.15 Mrs. Helene May Delaney 39 87.15 Helen Elizabeth Grinage 40 87.15 Madeline Sara Taylor 41 87.15 Audrey Scott Wilson In explaining why Miss Wood's position was changed to conform with the alphabet, the officials at Franklin School stated that when two or more students have the same average that they are given a standing alphabetically in conformity with their last name. So far as the school board is concerned it was stated that the matter was settled. What action Miss Wood's attorney will pursue could not be learned as Attorney Cobb is out of the city. AN IMPORTANT EVENT AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va., Sept. 7—An epoch-making event took place in Ogden Hall Hampton Institute. Thursday evening August 30, when the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education was conferred upon each member of the first class to graduate from the new agricultural college course. Five young men started this course, and of the five four remained to the end. These four represent the North, South, East, and West—Harrison D. Jacobs from Massachusetts, Thomas E. Johnson, Jr., from Mississippi, Burke M. Mathis from Oklahoma, and D. Coakeen Jones from Georgia. These four young men already have excellent positions upon which they will enter at once. The first becomes a teacher of agriculture in the State Normal School at Elizabeth City, N. C.; the second a teacher of vocational agriculture in a high school in Marion, Ark.; the third a teacher of agriculture in Langston University, Langston, Okla.; and the fourth will become a farm-demonstration agent under the Federal Government in Virginia. For more than half a century Hampton Institute had been known as a secondary school, and when it was proposed to add courses of college grade some doubted whether such a thin would actually be done. The conferring of degrees has conclusively answered all such doubters. Hampton Institute has now taken its place among institutions of college grade. In the absence of Principal James E. Gregg the degrees were conferred by Vice Principal George P. Phenix. A large audience was present, consisting of regular students of the Institute students of the summer school, members of the boys' and girls' clubs of Virginia who were having a short course session at the Institute at this particular time. In his address, Dr Phenix called attention to the fact that the history of Hampton Institute had been one of gradual and uninterrupted growth with no backward steps. Fifty-five years ago, he said, General Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, realized that the early days were but the beginning and that the Insti- (Continued on page 6) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 "Y"PLANS TO INJECT NEW LIFE IN ACTIVITIES Early History Recalled; Was Second Y Established in America The Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. announces for the fall and winter an extensive program. Since recorganizing the Branch last May the new committee of management under the chairmanship of S. W. Rutherford, one of the leading business men of Washington, and the new Executive Secretary, Captain Campbell C. Johnson, have engaged themselves with a thorough study of the Young Men's Christian Association movement throughout the country. The purpose of this study was to become acquainted with the latest tested policies of the association in the leading cities, so as to develop in Washington an organization capable of rendering a maximum of community service. The Twelfth Street Branch is one of the oldest associations in America, white or colored, having been organized in 1853 by Anthony Bowen only two years after the first association was organized in this country. During its life, therefore, the Twelfth Street "Y" has seen the growth of the Young Men's Christian Association four more years, beginning to the position of great interdenominational agency for the four-fold development of men and boys. Being the pioneer association in the field of work among colored men and located in the nation's capital the many associations which later have been established, have rightly looked to it to lead the way in the development of the association movement. The Twelfth Street "Y" Building was the first Y. M. C. A. building to be erected in the Colored Men's Department. It was largely the successful conduct of the campaign to erect this building that led to the erection of the fine structures now in operation in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Atlanta. The wonderful work done by the Washington association in the years immediately after the erection of its building added greatly to the impetus which carried the work in the other cities forward. The recent slowing up of the "Y" work here has been viewed with alarm by the other associations. Those who have been interested in the plans being formulated by the new administration at the Twelfth Street Building are convinced that at no time during the seventy years of the association life in this city has outlook been more promising. Men who have formerly been very active in the life of the association are renewing their interest and volunteering their services. Many new men who have seen the wonderful work done by the associations in other large cities are preparing to take an active part in the program to enable the Washington association to resume its leadership and satisfy the community needs. The new program includes a broad plan for co-operation with the various evangelical churches and fraternal and community service groups of the city; the centering of the athletic life of the city around the "Y"; the organization of the Hi-Y movement among our high school boys, and of Employed Boy's Clubs for the employed boy. Suitable social groups are being planned for the young men and for high school boys, and of Employed older men. The "Y" on Twelfth Street intends to reach and to serve every man and boy in Washington. Judging from appearances shopgirls don't need a minimum wage law to protect their standard of dressing. Situation Unsatisfactory, According to Statements. Government Proposes Gradual Replacement of Whites Augustus C. Powell Was Brother of Well Known Florist The untimely accidental death of Augustus C. Powell caused by falling out of a five story apartment in New York last Saturday was a severe shock to his many friends and family here. According to the best reports, Mr. Powell, who is a pantryman in the B. & O. dining service, arrived in New York City on Saturday and went to the apartment where he lived when in that city. Judging from the evidence found, Powell carried a chicken sandwich to his room. Sitting in his window apparently to get fresh air and eat his sandwich, Powell evidently fell asleep and consequently lost his balance and fell five stories. He was picked up and rushed to the hospital where he died two hours later. His body was brought here Sunday and funeral services were held at McGuire's Undertaking Parlors Wednesday, September 12. Augustus C. Powell was the husband of Margaret Powell and father of Mary and Pauline. The family lived in the Temple apartment at Eleventh and R Streets. He was 31 years of age and was the brother of Jesse Powell, the well known florist on Florida Avenue. For a number of years Powell has been in the employment of the B. & O. dining car service and by hard work had worked himself up to pantryman on one of the limited trains between New York City and Washington. He was well known and well liked both in Washington and New York City. NORTH BRENTWOOD CITIZENS ASSOCIATION MEETS The North Brentwood Citizens' Association held its regular monthly meeting, Wednesday evening, September 5th at Firemen's Hall. The various committees made their reports. The school committee was to have met the President and Supervisor of the County school Board on Sunday afternoon, but on account of short notice it had to be postponed until a later date. The constitution was read and adopted. The secretary, Granville Gaither, made the report of the financial condition of the association. Great credit is due the chairman, Henry Stafford and the committee who conducted the lawn fete, August 29th and 30th. A profit of $210.50 was realized. Election of officers will be held at the next regular meeting. It was stated by the president, J. Hawkins that the Potomac Electric Power Company's delay in having the town lighted, is due to the fact that they have not as yet received poles.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT AT HOW ARD PARK PLAYGROUND The Howard Park Playground under the direction of Miss Daisy Pierce held its first annual tennis tournament this week. Over fifty boys and girls young ladies and young gentlemen entered. No event in the history of the playground has evinced more interest than this tournament. The eligible list was limited strictly to those who used the playground courts; this practically ruled out the professional players and thereby created more interest on the part of playground players. Four cups were donated for the tournament by the business men, namely, the Lincoln Theater, Jesse Foster, Prudential Bank and Murray Brothers. Other business men donated money among whom were Dr. Williams, Dr. McGuire, Dr. W. L. Smith, Dr. Geo. Herriot, Mr. R. Lewis, and Mme. Smith. The list of winners will appear in next week's paper.

Washington's Best Advertising Medium. HOSPITAL According ent Proposes ent of Whites Doctors Told Not to Bring Their Families for Time Being WHITES IN QUARTERS Displace Negro Guards after Only One Week's Trial Despite the many protests, the dissatisfaction, hard feeling and the trouble already caused, the United States Government, through its agency, the Veterans Bureau, has not yet decided on a definite policy as to the personnel at its two million dollar hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. The latest developments add very little, if anything, to the already jumbled policy as regards a complete Negro personnel. However, this much seems to be clear, and that is, that Director Hines, through his Chief of Personnel, Dr. Rodgers, is determined to try to find Negro doctors to accept positions in this hospital under an alleged program that calls for a gradual replacement of the present white personnel with no time limit as to how long it will require the Government legged replacement. Whether Dr. Rodgers can induce the number of men and the class of men he desires to compromise their principles to the extent of accepting positions at Tuskegee under this alleged program, remains to be seen. This gradual replacement policy calls for the replacements to start at the bottom instead of at the top where such replacements usually start. Anyway, why should a gradual replacement program be instituted when the Negroes are demanding a complete Negro personnel now? According to local Medical Association officials, Dr. Carroll Brooks, Dr. F. D. Whitby and Dr. H. R. Burwell, all of this city, have declined positions at this hospital. Dr. Contee Cook of 315 Elm Street has also been offered a position but has not as yet decided as to whether he will accept or reject it. Dr. Cook stated to a Tribune reporter that he was waiting for a conference with Director Hines before he made his decision. Dr. Britton G. McKenzie of 318 Third Street, Southwest, is also undecided whether he will accept the position tendered him. According to the figures given out at the bureau this week, not quite fifty per cent of the doctors who have been tendered position have indicated their acceptance. It was further learned from other sources that in a number of cases where the men have indicated their acceptance, they have done so with the reservation that they would only serve under a Negro administrative staff. The salaries offered to most of the doctors so far have been only $2,850 a year with quarters, heat and light only. This amount is far below that quoted by the Civil Service Commission, for the classes to which these men are to be assigned. Dr. Rodgers, however, figures that this is a good salary for colored doctors especially, he says, when they take into consideration the fact that they will get their quarters. Even though "quarters" are offered the colored doctor who is weak enough to go to Tuskegee, he is advised not to bring his family with him nor to make arrangements for them to come for at least three or six months. This is done because the white doctors and their families are now occupying the residence quarters and of course in the South these white doctors could not afford to have Negroes living close to them, so the (Continued on page 3) LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Rev.

HIGH SCHOOL POINTERS Editor's Note: The importance of giving a child a good education is one that should be given serious consideration. As our schools will soon be opening, The Tribune is this week beginning a series of articles, which we hope will aid parents in getting their children properly started in schools. No. 3 Our last message put before you the large and varied program which the Academic department of Dunbar High School offers and suggested that in selecting courses, due consideration be given the question, whether formal schooling ends with graduation from the High School or whether the High School serves to prepare for some other institution of learning. Let us take a glance at the values in some of the items of our program: Science—For those who mean to set up homes a knowledge of physics, chemistry, hygiene is a valuable asset. Their laws can be applied in the home all the way from cellar to garret. College requirements all include some units of science. Mathematics—Some folks, perhaps have never noticed that the curves and lines and angles with which one deals in geometry appears in dress-making and tailoring; they do not know that the girl who understands well, an angle of 45 degrees, of 90 degrees knows the difference between a true bias fold and a false one. Of course those who are preparing for admission to Technical schools know the necessity for training in mathematics so we must not lose sight of the fact that it is practically impossible to get through academic courses in some of our best colleges for women without special training in mathematics. History—We all know too well how difficult it is to get the full import of many of our newspaper or magazine articles without being able to understand their historical references and of course the student literature, whether in his mother tongue, or in a foreign language, is at sea without the outlines of history, at least. English-Fortunately, there is no chance for electing or evading this branch. Every pupil must pursue its study throughout the four years. Drawing—We have hinted at the value of science and mathematics in household economy and in certain trades. What we said of those branches might be said of drawing in the same connection. We do not need to go into any details as to the place which drawing, designing, coloring, take in handicrafts, in business, in edorating, in household arts. Music—It will make its own way, whether among the materialists or the idealists. And now we come to a group which stands perhaps on a more unsteady foundation than any of the others: Foreign languages—Our materialistic tendencies have almost driven Latin and Greek out of existence in High Schools and Colleges. They are not money making subjects. Yet we are still calling for first class teachers of English. First class teachers and professors of English must be somewhat at home in Latin—shall I say Greek too? Academic High Schools will continue to have a few good Latin teachers at least. Those in Dunbar now can bolster up their attainments in Latin with their knowledge Greek. It is difficult to conceive of a first class Latin teacher who can not. We hope that from the many hundreds of boys whom Dunbar sends forth, may come now and then a Minister of the Gospel. The original of the New Testament is in Greek and second hand knowledge gained through translations is hardly worth the same to the professional man as first hand knowledge. Our churches are sadly in need of highly cultured, scholarly, Christion Ministers. Our relations with Latin America have given an impetus everywhere to the learning of Spanish. I say learning rather than studying, for a language with so few inflections and syntactical difficulties requires very little hard study. Consequently, the learning of it means comparatively little development of the real language sense and, too, Spanish opens the way to only a limited field in literature. Spanish has, however, a commercial value and those who intend to enter into relations with our neighbors to the south will find use for it. But when one has good mastery of Latin or French or German, one can learn Spanish with very little teaching, often without a teacher. The cultural value of French has long been unidisputed. Its literature is vast and rich. The mastery of the sounds, pronunciation and accent takes the learner through a series of ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Prominent Citizen Drowned The body of George T. Preston of 522 South Columbus Street, was found floating the Potomac River at 11:45 Thursday morning. On Monday morning Mr. Preston left home to visit the Secretary of Interior at his office in Washington. He did not return, and a diligent search failed to locate him. The drowned man was above middle age, and was afflicted with the lack of a sense of direction after nightfall. It is thought that he slept on the electric car enroute ot Alexandria, was awakened at Prince and Royal Streets, got off the car and walked east to the wharf and fell over board. The deceased had served for twenty years in the Department of Interior and at one time was a policeman in Washington. He was a member of Social Lodge, No.1 of Masons of Washington. His immediate family consisted of wife, a son, Charles W. and daughter Virginia. Parker-Gray School Parker-Gray School started its 1923-24 activities Wednesday with every room full. The teaching force is the same as that of last season. Mrs. Samuel Madden who was sick at the end of last season is back at her desk. Mrs. Maggie T. Young instructs the third grade which the late Mrs. Sarah Gray taught last year. The first grade, formerly taught by Mrs. Young, is being taught by Miss Lillian Lee. The domestic science class will be in full swing in the near future. An instructor has been appointed. Colored Championship Games Manager "Doc" Dean and Manager William H. Rose are attempting to whip things into shape for a series of baseball games to determine the champions of Alexandria. Dean is manager of two clubs, the Lafayettes and of the Lafayette Juniors. Rose is manager of the All-Stars. R. E. Knight, from whom these three teams bought their uniforms, offered a cup to the winners of a series between the Lafayettes and the All-Stars. A cup was to be offered for the junior championship in which class the Lafayette Juniors are. No local team is here to compete with the Juniors, so R. E. Knight is seeking to make it a three-cornered affair. The All-Stars have defeated both vocal and auditory gymnastics which give him added power to speak with nicety his mother tongue. This training, however, presupposes a teacher who can use with skill, modern phonetic methods. Numbers of our High School pupils still desire to study German. Many of them have parents who studied it in the High School. They know how many of the master pieces of music are German. They know that when we are singing hymns in church we are often using the airs of German student songs and folk melodies. But these are some of the things which may have escaped both pupils and parents: 1. English, our mother tnogue, is largely of German element; it belongs to the German stock. Students who, wish to pursue graduate courses in the English language make poor headway without some knowledge of German. It is almost impossible for them to read "Old English" and "Old English" is a foundation course in English linguistics. 2. Most of the advanced scientific courses in Colleges and Universities make German a prerequisite. 3. Many of the best Medical Schools of the country require a reading knowledge of German for admission. It is rather strange if our own Howard University is behind in this. 4. In all the standard Universities of our land, candidates for the Ph.D. degree must present a reading knowledge of German. 5. All that I have said of the cultural value of French language and literature can also be said of German. We often let our opportunities go by default. It has been said lately that certain privileges at some of our recreation centers were taken from us because we failed to apply for them. This may be true and just or not so. However, while Spanish and French and Latin seem to be holding their own at Dunbar, Greek has disappeared. Many do not know that we can have Greek classes if as many as twenty or so apply. German is making an effort to get back and simply needs the support of those who want to get thorough training in good substantial language courses. Dunbar can accommodate as many as apply for German just now. The only thing necessary to change your "electives" is a bona fide request from parents or guardians. TEACHER. of the Lafayette teams; the Lafayettes are tied. Due to the lateness of the season—if it is necessary to make it a three-cornered affair—why not let the Lafayettes play a deciding game and then the winner play the All-Stars. At this writing the next move in the furtherance of plans for the series, is a meeting of the two managers with the donor of the cup. Both Dean and Rose are anxious to get the series started next week. are back in the city after a delightful motor tour through various Western States.

The Juniors came out with the long end of the score, winning 6 of 2. The game was well attended. The proceeds were for the benefit of the playground. George Brooks pitched for the Lafayettes and John Finley pitched for the Juniors. The local playgrounds are scheduled to close today (Saturday) but the management of the colored ground will endeavor to keep their's open until later in the season. The Saints of God held a public meeting in the Community Building, corner of Washington and Gibbon Sts. on last Sunday night. The meeting was largely attended.

PAGE THREE ```markdown ``` The Tribune Sport Review SPORT CHATTER A GRADUATE MANAGER LONG WANTED AT HOWARD Some months ago this column opined that the reorganization of Howard's athletic policy would never be completed until an office of "graduate manager of athletics" was inaugurated. References were made to many northern colleges and also to Howard's rival, Lincoln. Graduate Manager W. G. Alexander, although taxed to the limit with public and personal duties, has been the chief cog in directing Lincoln's three constituents—Alumni, faculty and student body—into one athletic channel. Each year increasingly emphasizes the need of a man at Howard with knowledge of administrative athletics who can create and maintain perfect harmony with the three powers on the athletic question and also put the Blue and White teams before the public. Football carries the financial burden of all college athletics. Unfortunately it is being commercialized to such an extent that a slump in its popularity may result. It needs a special caretaker at every college. Not so, however, with the other sports, where the schedule is the only real item. The completion of the stadium—predicted by the college authorities for 1924, more likely 1926—will create new circumstances. Even right now the head of the Department of Physical Education and the Administrative office are handling numerous matters that could be shifted to a graduate manager and better results guaranteed. CHANGE IN ROSTER OF EASTERN ASSOCIATION EXPECTED From all indications changes can be expected in the Eastern Association roster next year. It would not be at all surprising to find the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Cuban Stars missing from the ranks when the list of clubs for next season is published. The casual observer has every reason to believe that Nat Strong who books the above clubs, is not in full sympathy with the circuit. The Association has made rapid strides forward but nothing like the progress that it would have made had all parties been in absolute accord and working for one ultimate end—the advancement of the league. At least four cities in the East bear all the earmarks of fertile fields for league baseball. Washington, Harrisburg, Newark, and Richmond, added to the circuit, would mark another epoch in Race baseball. The league, augmented to eight clubs, by dropping the Royals and Cubans and placing strong teams in the above named cities, would assure the circuit over a half million to draw By H Scott Some months ago this column opining of Howard's athletic policy would new office of "graduate manager of athletics" were made to many northernard's rival, Lincoln.

Both teams accounted for four safeties, but errors by the Giants opened the way for several unearned runs. Williams held the Richmond nine scoreless until the final frame.

Edward, Colored English sprint champion, at the Wilcoe Athletic Association's pre-Olympic carnival at the Yankee Stadium, Saturday, was far from an auspicious one. The foreign speed merchant was not in a running mood and was forced to bow before America's white dashmen in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. In the 100-meter event Edwards got no further than the initial beal while in the 200-meter race he trailed the field for fourth place. Dechart Hubbard captured the running broad jump, the only event that went to a Race athlete durnig the day, with a leap of 23ft 4½ ins. He was defeated in the hop, step and jump by Geist of New York. Hubbard also ran in the 400-meter relay. Ritola, the Finnish distant runner defeated Earl Johnson in the 5,000 meter run. The later finishing second BUFFALOES GETTING READY Captain "Buck" Williams has issued a call for all candidates for the Buffalo unlimited football team to meet him at 10:30 a.m. on September 16 at 13th and D Streets, Northeast. The 135-lb Buffaloes' aggregation had its initial work out last Sunday. The material looks promising.

Furbke, Burke; Bottom row—Henson, N. Bush, P. Mason, F. Bush, Gordon, R. Furbey. Pre-Season Survey Indicates Thrilling Football Campaign VETERANS SCARCE AT HOWARD An observation on the eve of the opening of Howard's football season reveals a rather gloomy outlook. The loss of six-sevenths of the line that faced Lincoln on last Thanksgiving Day is reason enough to cause concern. No college team ever suffered, in a single season, the loss of a greater gated to this year's coaching staff; ex-captain Williams, Holton, Crawford, Brooks and Smith are the line notables; and Carter and Molson the backfield men, who will be missing this fall from the Blue and White squad. Yet, a new coach with a new system enters into the realm of Howard mentors and it may be well that he has a new team to drill. But rarely however, is a good football player under one system a failure under another. And for this reason it looks like Watson will have his hands full in developing an aggregation of the strength of last year's. *** LINCOLN LOOKS FORMIDABLE The Lincoln Lions will begin work on the gridiron next week with an estimated early squad of nearly two score. Everything points to another successful fall season for Lincoln although five veterans—McLean, quarterback; "Sty" Woods, tackle; Bellinger, center; Jacques, tackle; and Skinker, end—will be lost to the squad. To offset the above absentees, Coach Young will have a host of men who were on the squad last year but were not quite good enough to make the grade. Filling McLean's place, shapes now as the new mentor's chief worry. The line should be unusually strong again with Morgan at center; Carter Poindexter and Walls, guards; Coston and Diggs, tackles, and Lancaster, Hogan and Crudup, ends. Captain Johnson is the only back that seems certain of his job. Byrd, hero of the "classic" of last year, will quite likely be primed for quarterback. Trigg, the former Armstrong High star; Goodman, Wilson, Lee and Polk will battle for the other two positions in the backfield. The influx of new material from which one or two stars are drawn each year at Lincoln may mean the supplanting of some of the above who now look like sure regulars. CANTHERS GET TWO STARS The exact number of letter men that Union loses this year is unknown, but word has reached us that two of the leading backs from the New England High school ranks will matriculate at Richmond university this fall. Julius Martin, brother of the Union coach, last year captain of the Boston English High and unanimously picked all-scholastic halfback [New England, and Harry Payne, quarterback of the Cushing Academy eleven, are the new famed expectants at Union. The changes in the coaching staffs JACK NURSE, Assistant Coach at Howard at Virginia Normal and at Wilberforce may make or break either of those aggregations. Dean Mohr goes to Virginia Normal from Wilberforce where he developed good elevens. He will be assisted this fall by Harry Graves, the former Michigan Aggie star; and with fair luck this combination will "carry on" at the Normal School where Watson left off. Four regular linemen of last year—McGhee, center; Tripp, end; Caldwell and Roberts, guards—will be missing from the Wilberforce squad; Coach Jefferson, however, will come and will be free to map out in his own way the destiny of "Forree's" team. BEWARE OF ST. PAUL "Watch out for St. Paul" is the cry around the circuit. The spirit of this school's supporters is decidedly opposed to defeat but if defeated their morale is never daunted. More than one upset will be laid at St. Paul's door when the curtain falls Thanksgiving. Morehouse loses but four letter men of 1922. They are Gentry, Maxwell, Perkins and Harpor—all backs. Thus, on October 26, a solid veteran line and two experienced backfield men will face Howard at the American Leagua park and the way things look now the warriors from the "cracker" state may upset the done by scalping the locals. It would not be at all surprising to the writer to see the Hampton warriors land another championship. Dabney, the firedeme center that did more than his share in leading the seasiders to victory last year, has played his final collegiate football game. He will be greatly missed but the Virginians have much capable reserve timber to fill this hole and any other that may arise. Coach Smith put a real machine on the field last year and a canvas of candidates for the 1923 varsity reveals the fact that a smoother working team is due. OTHER TEAMS At this early period nothing definite is known as to the strength of Shaw, A. & T., West Virginia, Va. Seminary and many other generally strong elevens. Shaw had one of the best teams of the entire field last year. West Virginia always presents a hard, rugged defensive combination. Va. Seminary will show improvement this year under Lawrence and Hurt. 1923 Changes in Football Rules Many Changes Made in Football Rules Incident to the beginning of the football season it is wise for coaches and players to become familiar with the slight changes that have been made in the playing rules, most of which are herewith described by Benjamin Washington, approved A. A. U. football official. Rule 3, Section 2—A player who has been withdrawn from the game before the start of the third period may return at any time during the SECOND half. A player withdrawn during the SECOND hair may NOT return to the game. Rule 4, Section 1—In case either team is not ready to play within TEN minutes after the time scheduled for the beginning of the game, . . . . the offending side shall be penalized 25 yards. Rule 7, Section 2—If a kick-off goes over the goal line and then goes out of bounds, it shall be ruled as a FREE ball. . . TOUCHDOWN, if recovered by the kicking side: TOUCHBACK, if recovered by the defending side. (Subject, however, to APPROVED GROUND RULES). Rule 14, Section 3—No delay arising from ANY cause whatsoever shall continue more than two minutes. Refusal of either side to play within TWO minutes after having been ordered to do so by the Referee. . . Forfeiture of the game. Rule 15, Section 5—In case more than one player signals for a faint catch and one of such players catches the ball before it touches the ground, NO RUN shall be made, although the catch shall be allowed. Rule 17, Section 3—A player of the side which put the ball in play from a scrimmage may HAND OR THROW the ball any distance towards an opponent's goal. . . . Provided, he is FIVE yards back of the line of scrimmage. . . . (Thus, handing the ball is now considered as a FORWARD PASS and is governed accordingly) Rule 18—(ON SIDE KICK BANNED)—No player of the kicker's side, even if he was BEHIND the kicker, may recover the ball until it touches an opponent, EXCEPT in case the ball DID NOT cross the line of scrimmage. Rule 21, section 2 provides for inflicting the penalty from the spot of the foul when roughing the forward passer, and CLIPPING gives the privilege to the offended side of ELECTING whether the penalty shall be measured from the spot of the down or the spot of the foul.

Bolden's Hilldale Club has practically grabbed the first pennant of the Eastern Colored League. The leaders meet the Cuban's for the last time of the season in a league game, September 22nd, and have a posoned game with the Brooklyn Royal Giants, yet to be played to round out their schedule of fifty games. won their last six games and have climbed from down near the cellar to third position with a splendid chance of finishing second. The Royal Giants have opened an eight game series with the Cuban Stars and upon these games will hinge the title of second place. For the first time this season the Lincoln Giants have crawled out of the cellar, Jim Keenan's cohorts, by virtue of taking two games out of three from the Baltimore Sox traded places with Spedden's crew, the Sox sinking deeper into the miq when they dropped a double-header to the Brooklyn Royal Giants in New York on Labor Day. Some Clubs are Behind Quota in Games Played Due to petty differences between Commissioners of several league clubs, the schedule has not been balanced properly, although all of the Commissioners agreed upon a fifty game lay out for each team, because of it being the first venture in organized ball a portion of the schedule was left open for the benefit of a couple teams, for this reason it was impossible to publish the schedule prior to the season's opening.

Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va.—St. Paul's first week of football practice was a marked success in every respect, notwithstanding the fact that two days of inclement weather caused the thirty sturdy youngsters to remain indoors. Never before in St. Paul's twelve years of football have the veteran vanguard and the new men shown so much enthusiasm and energy in the early days of rigid training and hard practice. The new recruits seem to have a natural aptitude for football, and this is particularly pleasing to the coaches. The new boys know what it requires to procure a varsity berth, and they are sparing no pains in their efforts to play the game. They are putting all they have into the practices, and are progressing rapidly under their able tutoring. After another week's hard practice the football team of St. Paul School will be well on the way to perfection. During the last week the team was thoroughly coached in the fundamentals of the game, and a few of the simpler formations were run through daily. Special attention was given to the individual coaching of both the line and the backfield. Head Coach Douglas is coaching the line in the art of blockading and hitting the dummy, while Coach Taylor is giving the backfield men lessons in side-stepping and carrying the ball. Prescribed drills are held daily to improve the mind and loosen up the muscles. Light scrimmages will be conducted next week. YES, THE TEDDY BEARS WILL HAVE A FOOTBALL TEAM HAVE A FOOTBALL TEAM Captain Burrell of the Teddy Bears football team comes forth and refutes the statement that his team will not be in the field this year.

SULLIVAN'S RECOMMENDATIONS Possibly the most important recommendation coming from the chief of police, Maj. Sullivan, in his annual report, is that of precinct courts for the police precincts of the city. In other large cities, there are magistrate courts to look after the petty offenses that must all go through the police court here in Washington. That the establishment of these magistrate or precinct courts in this city would be in the interest of progress and facilitating time, is evident. Maj. Sullivan states that in 5,223 cases last year, policemen were detained until after eleven o'clock. Think of the inconvenience to the various witnesses in those cases, not to mention the innocent persons often incarcerated overnight for lack of collateral. In the establishment of the precinct courts, which Maj. Sullivan recommends, which would hold sessions mornings and evenings, there would be an opportunity for appointments of Negroes as the magistrates or judges. This is also an important feature that should be given attention by the local bar association. A PRACTICAL LESSON—AWAKE! The close observer noticed an Tuesday of this week.

This being true, it is not the Negro in Washington than of any. Groves of Washington could be aroused by opportunities, what a wonderful example of the country. If the Negroes in Washington would own and operate their own grade department stores, more than a hundred shaberdashery stores, shoe stores, auto repair shops, filling stations, hardware stores, piano sales agencies, fiveeries, lumber yards, construction companies, banks and trust companies, building store life and fire insurance companies, sale houses and manufacturing plants, learn a lesson from the Jews and profit the fact that supply our many wants thru our houses and manufacturing plants?

The close observer noticed any number of stores closed here Tuesday of this week. Generally the sign read: "Closed on account of Holiday." It was the celebration of the Jewish new year. One thing that attracted the attention of the observer Tuesday, was the fact that nearly all of the small groceries scattered over Washington are run by Jews. It was particularly noticeable in the northwest and southwest sections where there are so many colored people concentrated. Why is it that the Negro is not running grocery stores on the streets and in the many blocks where he is living? There is not a single city of a hundred thousand people in which may not be found from 350 to 500 grocery stores. There are more than 100,000 Negroes in Washington, with less than twenty groceries run by members of the race. Negroes should at least own the stores from which they purchase their food. No race of people can demand its rights when it is absolutely dependent on other people for stores in which to purchase the bare necessities of life. If we are to command respect, we must first respect ourselves to the extent that we can at least run and own the stores that supply our homes. There are about 4,000,000 Jews in this country and 15,000,000 Negroes. Who commands the greater respect? The Jew, of course. And why? Because he is a controlling factor in the financial and commercial markets of this country. Washington has a larger number of college graduates, a larger number of colored public school teachers, a larger number of government employees, and the smallest percentage of illiteracy, of any city in this country. This being true, it is natural to expect more of the Negro in Washington than of any other city in the country. If the Negroes of Washington could be aroused to their real commercial opportunities, what a wonderful example they could set for the rest of the country. If the Negroes in Washington were awake they would own and operate their own grocery stores; three or more department stores, more than a hundred dry goods, notion and haberdashery stores, shoe stores, automobile sales agencies, repair shops, filling stations, hardware stores, cigar stores, furniture stores, piano sales agencies, five and ten cent stores, laundries, lumber yards, construction companies, building materials, more banks and trust companies, building and loan associations, more life and fire insurance companies, a daily newspaper, wholesale houses and manufacturing plants. Will we learn a lesson from the Jews and profit thereby? When will be begin to supply our many wants thru our own stores, wholesale houses and manufacturing plants? When will we realize that we are spending entirely too much hard earned money and receiving in return no economic benefit. When will we awake to the fact that we do not need to send our boys and girls thru Howard University or any other college for them to return home and go on a Pullman car, or take a job in a barber shop, pool room or like employment? Awake thou that sleepeth and arise from your industrial and commercial lethargy. date was bound to develop with time. The charter which General Armstrong secured from the General Assembly of Virginia in 1870 stated that the purposes of the institution were: "For the instruction of youth in the various common-school, academic, and collegiate branches, the best methods of teaching the same, and the best mode of practical industry in its application to agriculture and the mechanic arts; and for the carrying out of these purposes, the said trustees may establish any departments or schools in the said institution." Recently when the question of granting degrees was under consideration the highest legal and educational authorities of the State decided that no amendment to the charter was necessary, since this provision secured over fifty years ago conferred upon the Institute the right to conduct college courses upon the Institute the right to conduct college courses and to grant degrees. The events of August 30 were, therefore, merely a fulfillment of the plan of the founder.

BROADCASTING" Radio science is a very wonderful thing. A broadcasting station can send a message to thousands who are "standing by" to "listen in." But radio is simply a mechanical contrivance, and its messages last only for the time being. More wonderful than radio is the psychology of the printed message. With a printed message you can talk to as many prospects as you may care to reach, and your message will live until the paper upon which it is printed is destroyed. Moreover, you can address just the right class of people who will be interested in what you --- MUSIC FOR Why not a Symphony Orchestra Here Chas. E. Lane, Jr. manager of The Lincoln Theatre on U Street treated local patrons and the community to a civic blessing in the presentation of a rich orchestral concert program with two genuine artists in stellar roles this week—Wesley Howard, violin soloist in "Concerto in E Minor" (Mendelssohn), supported by a well-balanced orchestra with Dorsey Rhodes conducting. This performance particularly deserves special consideration as the outstanding feature of a splendid program as presented at the Lincoln during the week. The personnel of the concert orchestra is as follows: Wesley Howard, soloist; Dorsey T. Rhodes, conductor; Louis N. Brown, piano; Bernard Manning and Alvin Campbell, violin; Julio Figueeroa, clarinet; Walter L. Browne, cornet; Bernard Booth, bass violin and William Jones, drums and percussion. Not since the days of Harry William's "Washington Concert Orchestra" with the matchless Felix Weir as soloist at Howard Theatre have we heard anything approaching the orchestra and solo performance as that of the Lincoln Theatre orchestra this week. It awakened our drowsy memory to the once happy musical heyday of Washington's diplomatical past and again revived the long lost hope that the nation's capital at no distant day might boast of a Negro Symphony Orchestra worthy of the name. And why not? The talent is here as already evidenced in this combination. The ability to present meritorious renditions was notably manifested before our very eyes and attested in our keen ears. Wesley Howard just 'play'd with his 'fiddle' and bow" so to speak and proved himself every inch the artist that he is, graceful, modest, conservative, nimble-fingered, artistic bow-arm, and presenting' every evidence of a thoroly trained musician. His attack and release, double stopping, harmonics, shading, interpretation and tone color were well defined characteristics of his remarkable rendition and his poise was like unto a master's. In Wesley Howard we find the makings of a really great violinist who, after several years more experience and maturity having been attained thereby, will rise to still greater musical heights in the music world. have to say. Attractive advertising commands attention, for it will create a desire for the goods being advertised, and if the "copy" is properly written and neatly printed, it will certainly produce results. Every day millions of dollars' worth of merchandise is being sold by the power of newspaper advertising. The Tribune is a powerful "broadcasting station" of tremendous "wave length." Through this medium the business man can "broadcast" the advantages of his service, at any time, to the world in general. The ribune is always ready to carry his advertising literature to as many "receiving stations" as he may care to use. And, there will be "static" trouble, as every message will be correctly and promptly delivered. Now is a good time for business men to boost their business with the aid of live printed messages, attractively designed and executed. With these "messages" you can inaugurate an effective advertising campaign to continue indefinitely. Do not be satisfied to distribute merely a few cards or bills during the course of a year.

String Instrume THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FORUM MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams CONCERT and feast among the kings of pure transcendent art. And Dorsey Rhodes, the conductor, we write under his name the one word "Finis" thereby better expressing our idea of centiguy to face. Indeed, he is a past master in the art of conducting and as our eyes diligently followed the rhythmic motion of his swinging 'baton', he seemingly snatched the music out of the air from the instruments, so smoothly were they blending in harmonic concourse. This man is capable of leadership and his record proves it conclusively. Mr. Howard is teacher of violin and Mr. Rhodes conducts both orchestra and band at Howard University. Mr. Howard is a pupil of the Paris Conservatory of Music and Mr. Rhodes a graduate of The Institute of Musical Art, New York City, Dr. Frank Damrosch, director. This leads up to the paramount thought in our mind at present, that of the organization of a SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND MASSIVE CHORAL SOCIETY in the city of Washington, D. C., that would merit the consideration, and command the wholesome respect of the country, both black and white citizens, musically speaking. Reasons? Why they are multitudinous! It would make it possible for our best colored artists to come here and have support of a symphony orchestra, something unheard of so far and Washington would prove the mecca for music lovers of color from all over the country in a series of artist recitals by colored folk. And what a magnificent occasion to hear a massive choral society supported by a symphony orchestra in the rendition of a majestic oratorio or other work of merit! Then too, what about the splendid musical talent now lying dormant, starving for opportunities to manifest their natural gifts? The music loving public, they are the real sufferers! What wonderful privileges to hear the best music are lost thus lack of the orgnaization. What wonderful opportunities to cultivate musical taste and appreciation of music are denied our children and selves likewise, thru the lost of such an organization. Let us have a Symphony Orchestra and Choral Society in our city as Mr. Howard so contended in a recent article appearing in this column and as the writer urged as well. Give the movement impetus by personal interest and financial assistance if need be and become a Benefactor to your race!

AND THE COLORED PROPLES - The Negroes of the United States are held in contempt by other races of colored peoples. It is human nature, perhaps, to do so. We are not yet a century removed from slavery, we have no native homeland, we have no government and we have no traditions mildewed with age. We are diamonds in the rough. A new tribe of people. We are the brunt of a better situated and a longer ‘freed people. But like the student ‘Prof. Kelly Miller so frequently tells of “We's a-clim’in’.” We must begin looking upon our- selves as a real, a very real and neces- sary part of the universe. We must study, study, study and increase our value, then rate ourselves and. de- mand: due ‘consideration in, proportion to our valuation. We must learn about ourselves from the days of the pharaohs down to the World War. We must study the lives ‘of the colored peoples, learn their his- tories, foster intercourse ‘with them, and help them and be helped by them. ‘The white races, although of differ- ‘ent nations, ally themselves together, not because they love each other, but becauso-they are-white. Being white means everything to them. Too, they realize that in union there is strength. Tt is just a matter of time when the brown and: black peoples of Asia. the blacks of Africa and, Australia, the brown and. black peoples of the South Sea islands, the yellow jheoples of Asia and Europe,-the black, brown, and yellow peoples of South ‘America will find their value one to the other. This. is not idle fancy nor is it vain dreaming. It is a thought today which on tomorrow will be a reality. Remember that all of the colored peoples of the world are our brothers; their successes are our suc- cesses and their failures are our fail- ures.

Who of us that does not remom- ber the little puce-colored, delicately- modeled figures and furniture and ac- cessories in “Checkers up at the Farm,” “The Favored Scholar,” the various Shakespeare scenes, the “old school” doctor scowling at the other doctor across the patient, and other: of these groups? ‘The groups just mentioned were a- mong his so-called “Social Groups” which came out mostly after the War. Among his “War Groups,” (some of which.came out after the War) were at least six which showed Black Folk in one form or another. These six groups, were: “The Slave Auction,” “The Fugitive’s Story,” “The Camp Fire or Making Friends with the Cook,” “The Wounded Scout or a Friend in the Swamp,” “Taking the Oath and Drawing Rations,” and “Unele Ned's School.” (The names of these groups are not arranged in hrenological order or, indeed, in any order.) ' The groups themselves *or pictures of them with the names attached, so nearly tell their own’ stories: that in most cases little needs to-be said of them by way of interpretation. How- ever, some observations as-to the six in which we are particularly inter- sted, may not be amiss: “THE SLAVE AUCTION” (A Rogers group). “The Slave Auction” whieh ap- peared in 1860, was»Mr.’ Rogers’ first bid for favor. Thé'story init is not quite so obvious»as in some of his later groups: and/it is easy’to see that ‘it is comparatively erude'or lacking, in expression and in modeling. But it proved to be his making.’ In this group there:are three adult | figures, also a child anda baby. . The ‘slave man, barefoot~and roughly but’ neatly dressed, stands at the side of) a goods-box, behind which, on a small- er box, stands, ‘the ‘auctioneer, The slave-is a large, strong-limbed man. ‘He’ stands. sturdily. erect,” with “his arms: folded: across’ his ample: chest, and he has a penetrating ‘look: in his eyes. A woman; apparently his wife, stands: on the other side of the box. Shevis pressing to her-bowed face a nearly naked baby:whose:chubby' hand rests on her tearewet cheek.

This is not the proper place to g¢ into the pros and cons regarding the Rogers method of representation. Ii must not be assumed, however, that work of that sort does not require xbility as well as taste and skill, For my part, without renouncing one jot or tittle of my allegiance to the deep- ly purposeful and the sublime in art— especially in sculpture—I firmly hold that the Rogers groups were not merely artistic, they were real art, legitimate and sound, and besides, difficult to execute in the pleasing and satisfactory manner that this gifted, yet sincere and painstaking artist ex- cuted his every group and every figure. And the completed work evi- denced and justified the study, the patience, and the seemingly loving ef- fort bestowed upon it. As for the groups themselves, they exemplified not only the enthusiasm of their author, but his talent and his insight; for invariably they carried human interest, and, in addition, often ‘carried instruction or amusement or ‘both, and some of them made strong appeals to the higher emotions. Cail Rogers’ work sculptural story-telling, if you will, but certainly we may say of him, as was said of Jesus of Nazareth, that the common people heard him gladly. | Furthermore, it can be said to the cerdit of Rogers, indeed to his honor, that, though few or none were purely idealizations, yet in no case was: he frivolous, and his humor, though usu- ally frank und sometimes homely, al- ways was wholesome and serious, ‘The “Slave Auction,” his first pub- licly exhibited work, was a story- telling group. The story, however, was one with a powerful\and timely appeal. Under the conditions existing at the time of its appearance, in 1860, people, when viewing it, would searce- ly fail to be touched by its pathos; and it would hardly fail to arouse a train of thought that would later ripen into action.

Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years! I am so weary of toil and of tears— Toil without recompense, tears all in vain— Take them and give me my childhood again! I have grown weary of dust and decay, Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away, Weary of sowing for others to reap+- Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep! ‘Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you! Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded, our faces between; Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I to-night for your presence again; Come from the silence so long and so deep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep! Over my heart in the days that are flown, No love like mother-love ever has shone; No other worship abides and endures, Faithful, unselfish, and patient, like yours; None like a mother can charm away pain From the sick soul and the world-weary brain; Slumber’s soft calms o'er my heavy lids creep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep! Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold, Fall on your shoulders again as of old; Let it drop over my forehead to-night, Shading my faint eyes away from the light; For with its sunny-edged shadows once more, Haply will throng the sweet visions of yore; Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock me to sleep! Mother, dear mother, the years have been long Since I last Jistened to your lullaby song; Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood’s years have been only a dream. Clapsed to your heart in a loving embrace, With your light lashes just sweeping my face, Never hereafter to wake or to weep— Rock me to sleep, mother—rock to me to sleep!

Apply at Office, 920 U St. - SITUATION _ UNSATISFAC- TORY (Continued from page 1) colored doctors must leave their fami lies behind. When the hospital first opened white guards were placed around the grounds. So many protests against them were made that about three weeks ago they were removed and Ne- gro guards placed in their stead. While this change was satisfactory to the colored patients and citizens in that community who had greatly suf. fered under the white guards, it great- ly displeased the whites and as these white people must not be offended, lest they should force the Govern- ment to abandon its two million dol- lar hospital, the Negro guards were removed last week after being given only one week’s trial. It was claimed that their services were unsatisfac- tory. We would like to know to whom they were unsatisfactory, the whites or the Negroes? Because of the low salaries offered, the bureau is experiencing quite a bit of trouble in obtaining engineers, firemen, plumbers, nurses, stenogra- phers and clerks to man the working force of the hospital. People who have passed the civil service for po- sitions and who have been ordered to report to Tuskegee for work, are in many: cases asking for time exten- sions as they do not desire to go there until the Government does something Noward carrying out its expressed policy of manning the hospital admin- istrative offices with Negroes. What the final outcome of the whole mess will be cannot now be prophe- sied. However, this much remains true, if the Negro doctors refuse to go until the three administrative posi- tions are filled with Negroes, the Gov- ernment will then be forced to ac- celerate its activities in this direction or come out and admit it does not in- tend to appoint Negroes to these po- sitions.
