President Touches on Race Problem First in Local Circulation. PRES. COOLIDGE ADMITS PROBLEM BUT TAKES NO DEFINITE STAND President Calvin Coolidge delivered his first message to the American people since he assumed the duties of President last August. The President in his address, which was delivered Thursday before a joint session of both houses of Congress, devoted three paragraphs to the great American race problem. He spoke as follows: Negroes Rights Defended Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen. It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights. The Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching, of which the Negroes are by no means the sole sufferers, but for which they furnish a majority of the victims. Already a considerable sum is appropriated to give the Negroes vocational training in agriculture. About half a million dollars is recommended for medical courses at Howard University to help contribute to the education of 50 colored doctors needed each year. On account of th emigration of large numbers into industrial centers it has been proposed that a commission be created, composed of members from both races, to formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence. Such an effort is to be commended. Every one would rejoice in the accomplishment of the results which it seeks. But it is well to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promise of a real remedy than outside interference. While the President said something, he failed to indicate just where he stood on this great question. His reference to the Negro question consisted more or less of generalities and platitudes. The mass of Negroes are just as much in the dark as to his administration's attitude as ever before. The general attitude of the Negro toward this speech can be summed up in the following statement made by a prominent government official here who said that, "when the President was definite he was wrong, and when he wasn't wrong he was indefinite." STUDENT INJURED IN WRECK, BUT ATTENDS GAME Robert Craft of Howard University Medical School, together with Mr. H. P. Williams, also of the Medical School, were motoring with Miss Eva Fitzhugh of 1816 S St., Northwest, and brother, to the Annual Howard-Lincoln game at Philadelphia, early last Thursday morning, when on attempting to avoid a collision with another car at a sharp turn, two miles out of Rising Sun, Maryland, the party narrowly escaped death when their Dodge coupe plunged full tilt into a post situated beside the road. Craft; who was riding on the front seat, was catapulted through the windshield, and reidered unconscious by the impact, receiving a deep gash over the eye, and cats about the forehead, together with bruises about the mouth and legs. Miss Fitzhugh, who was driving at the time of the accident, received a slight cut over the right eye, and bruises of the legs. She suffered mostly from the shock. Mr. A. Pope, a Washington undertaker, whose cat the party nearly collided with, rushed the injured to the nearest doctor at Rising Sun, where they received first aid treatment. He then carried the party to Philadelphia; where they received treatment. Mr. Williams and Mr. Fitzhugh, who were riding on the back seat. The Washington Tribune "Miss Washington" Thanks Tribune The Washington Tribune, Washington, D.C. Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to thank the Tribune for the wonderful time shown me during my role of "Miss Washington." Not only was I entertained in Philadelphia, but in Washington as well, before and after my trip. Everyone was lovely to me, making it possible for me to enjoy myself immensely. I want to thank all of the people who helped the Tribune to make it pleasant for me. I assure you it was an occasion that will never be forgotten as long as I live. When I was told that I had been chosen to represent Washington at the football game in Philadelphia, I realize the great honor that had been bestowed upon me, but I never dreamed that there were so many good things in store. I tried to do what was expected of me and found it a very pleasant task. The Tribune overlooked nothing that would add to my comfort and pleasure, and I cannot thank them enough. Please believe that I certainly appreciate and am deeply grateful to the Tribune and its friends who made it possible for my wonderful trip. Yours, truly, THELMA HAMILTON 2311 H Street, N.W. PRESIDENT SENDS FLOWERS TO PHIL BROWN'S GRAVE PHIL BROWN'S GRAVE The last rites over the body of Phil H. Brown, late commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor who died suddenly here last Friday morning, were said at the little cemetery near his former home in Hopkinsville, Ky., last Tuesday afternoon. Wreaths from President Coolidge, Secretary Davis and other Republican leaders were placed on his grave. The death of Mr. Brown came as a complete shock to his many friends. For a number of years he was prominently connected with the Republican party and at the time of his death, was planning to do much work in behalf of the nomination and election of President Coolidge in the coming campaign. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL INTRODUCED Among the number of bills introduced in the House of Representatives on the opening day was the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Just what the fate of this bill will be this session is not as yet known. The Republican leaders permitted this bill to die an ignominious death during the last session of Congress. were shaken up but otherwise uninjured. So intense was Mr. Craft's enthusiasm for the game that after medical treatment, he was seen at the Ball Park with his face taped and bandaged and looking more like a football player than a spectator. Craft, who is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and who graduated from the College in June with the degree of Bachelor of Science, Cum Laude, it will be remembered, was one of the runners on the Howard Relay Team that brought victory to the Blue and White at the Penin Relay Carnival in April, 1921, and also of the team which placed second at the Carnival in 1923. He was Captain of the Varsity Track Local Y. M. G. A. Starts Campaign For $40,000 TRIBUNE'S "MISS WASHINGTON" ENTERTAINED "Miss Washington" nee Miss Thelma Hamilton, of 2311 H Street N.W., winner of The Tribune's beauty contest, closed her official program last Monday night. After resting from her strenuous trip to Philadelphia, where she attended the Howard-Lincoln football game, "Miss Washington" was the guest of the Lincoln Theater last Saturday to witness the first showing of the moving pictures made of the football classic, in which she played a big part. Sunday "Miss Washington" with her mother and father and Mr. Fred Boone, were the dinner guests at Thurston's Cafe, on 9th St. A toothsome full-course dinner was served under the personal direction of Mr. Thurston. After the dinner the party motored to the residence of Mrs. Reese on 12th Street, Northwest, where punch, cake and salad were served. Among those present besides "Miss Washington" were: Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Wm, O. Walker, Mr. B. O. Kelley, Mr. Fred Boone, Dr. Chas, Johnson, Miss Ida Reese and her mother, Mrs. Reese. Monday night "Miss Washington" with some friends, were the guests of Brook's Old Log Cabin Sweets Store on 9th Street. Mr. Brooks served a special made brick of his famous ice cream to the party and gave "Miss Washington" a choice of his candies. This affair closed "Miss Washington" a program. "Y" TO BE RENOVATED AND MADE MODERN THRUOUT Determined that Washington shall not lag behind in the matter of its Y. M. C. A., a group of business and professional men met at the "Y" on Thursday afternoon and officially started a campaign designed to bring this institution back to its place in the public's favor. This group of men determined that the National Capital should have one of the finest Y. M. C. A. buildings in the country, and in order that this position may be achieved, a campaign to raise $40,000 was started. This money will be used in rearranging and remodeling the building. Seventy years ago, the Reverend Anthony Bowen, a most remarkable man of the Colored race, organized the first Y. M. C. A. among our men and boys in the world in this city, thereby giving Washington an enviable historic place in this great movement. After nearly sixty years the first modern Y. M. C. A. building for the use of Colored men and boys was erected here to fill the needs of our progressive community. The achievement set an example for other cities which has had much to do with the erection of thirteen other modern buildings in as many large cities of the country. However, the arrangement of this building is not as modern as that of some buildings erected later. From an original investment of $12,000.00 the value of the property has increased to approximately $275,000.00. According to the present program the Cafeteria will be placed on the first floor with entrance from Twelfth (Continued on page 6) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 Office: 920 U St., N.W.

Robinson-Jackson Wedding Sets INSTITUTIONAL New Record for Cost; Negroes CHURCH IS AIM Furnish Everything Used OF REV. WALDRON Several Washingtonians who attended the elaborate wedding of Miss Mae Walker Robinson, granddaughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, to Dr. Gordon Henry Jackson of Chicago, in New York City on November 24, tell of the gorgeous display of gowns and jewels worn by both sexes. According to Lester Walton, writing in the New York World: ing in the New York Worker "When the engagement of the couple was announced, Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Wilson, mother of the then bride-to-be, told friends money and pains would not be spared in making the wedding an historic event and she made good her promise." In carrying out her plan, Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Wilson it is claimed, spent around $42,000 on this wedding, Mr. Walton writing further says: Eight years ago Mme. C. J. Walker, mother of Mrs. Wilson erected at a cost of $250,000 the Villa Lewaro at Irvington-on-Hudson. When she died two years later and her will was read a clause was found in which the testatrix forbade the selling of the villa. Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Wilson's first gesture in making extensive preparations for the wedding was to add additional guest chambers, redecorate the entire house and refurnish several of the rooms. All this was done at a cost of $17,000. 9,000 Invitations Sent Out The next important step was the sending out of 9,000 invitations—1,000 to personal friends and 8,000 to Walker agents living in this and other countries. Accompanying the invitations were three other engraved cards, one to be presented at the church, another for the reception at Villa Lewaro and another announcing when the couple would be at home in Chicago. As is customary, the outfit of the bridesmaids was furnished by the bride, and the six young women were kept busy going to the dressmaker and shoemaker weeks before date of wedding. Their gowns were of cream colored Chantily lace over silver cloth. The coronets, as headpieces, were of braided silver cloth and their slippers, made to order, were of silver brocade. Bridegroom Bears Groomsmen's Expenses The bridegroom bore all the expenses of his best man and four of the ushers from Chicago to New York and return, gave the bride a diamond brooch. He gave his ushers canes and cigarette cases. Among the items which were contributory elements to the $42,000 wedding were the cost of opening the church, fees for the church organist and choir, fees for the organist and harpist at reception, cars used during the day by the bridal party, tips to the police in New York and Iryington-on-Hudson, the hiring of private detectives, the decoration of the church with palms, plants, cape smilax and ribbons, the decoration of the villa with cape smilax, ribbons and white chrysanthemums, the bridal bouquet of bride's roses and illies of the valley, baskets of orphelia roses for the flower girls and flowers for other members of the bridal party. Gigantic Wedding Feast Between 700 and 800 persons were served by Philadelphia caterers at the wedding reception. The supper consisted of turkey a la king served in patties, mashed potatoes, asparagus tips with piquant sauce and cranberries. In an adjoining room Roman punch and bride's cake were served. Each was given a piece of wedding cake in a box, tied with white silk ribbon. Bride's Trousseau Cost Over Thousand Dollars The cost of the bride's trousseau ran into thousands of dollars, for furs, dinner gowns, evening gowns, street dresses, lingerie, silk stockings, shoes, hats and other wearing apparel were purchased without stint. The traveling costume alone reached the $300 mark. The bride's wedding gown of chiffon beaded with seed pearls over bride's satin and the tulle veil attached to an Egyptian pearl head dress caught with orange blossoms, played no inconspicuous part in the list of expenditures, nor did the gown of gold metallic cloth worn by Mrs. Wilson. On the morning of the wedding the bridesmaids met by appointment at the Walker town home, No. 108 West 136th Street, which is fitted out with a modern beauty parlor in the basement, where they were beautified. (Continued on page 3) Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, announces this week the purchase of the Hamline M. E. Church (white), at the northwest corner of Ninth and P Streets, Northwest, by the Shiloh congregation for $85,000.00 net. This includes the furniture and a $10,000 pipe organ, with chimes and echo. Rev. Waldron plans to enter the new church in May. He stated that after the present congregation is, through worshipping there, they will repaint and redecorate the church. When their plans are complete they hope to have seventeen rooms in addition to the main auditorium. Before coming to Shiloh Baptist Church as its pastor, sixteen years ago, Rev. Waldron was pastoring the Bethel Baptist: Institutional Church, of Jacksonville, Florida, which was one of the show churches of the South. He desires to make the new Shiloh, at least semi-institutional. On entering the new church, the whole Sunday School will be graded into nine grades and the yung people's societies will have special rooms for their work. The old church on L Street will be sold. That district is becoming commercialized and the crowding of buildings with increased noise makes it necessary to find a new location. In addition to this, most of the members have moved away from that locality. The purchasing of the Hamline Church was placed in the hands of a committee known as the Sales, Purchasing and Repair Committee, with Rev. Waldron as chairman. The other members of the committee are John S. Branom, first vice-president; Samuel W. Frost, second vice-president; James A. Payne, secretary; Andrew Wythers, assistant secretary and J. W. Freeman. This committee has full power to act in all matters pertaining to the purchasing, selling and repairing. Shiloh Baptist Church, "Strangers' Home" as it is known, was organized September 6, 1863, by white and colored people, who came here from Fredericksburg, Va., during the Civil War. Sometimes later, the white people withdrew and left the church to the colored congregation. The pastor reports a membership of more than 1,200. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents oblem r $40,000 ★ Y. Speech SURPRISED THAT NEGROES STAY IN SOUTH A short time ago Major R. R. Moton, whose reputation as a race leader has been greatly sullied by his inability to lead straight, again seems to have gone afoul of the straight line of leadership. In a speech in New York City before the Quill Club (white) the Major stated that "the south was never more alive than it is today to the importance of greater economic justice, fairer educational opportunities and justice in the courts to the Negroes." The above statement was flashed all over the country and all country, and southern papers, especially, quoted and re-quoted it. However, The Pensacola (Fla.) Journal who did not depend on Tuskegee for its information, finds things in the south somewhat different from what the Major did. In a recent editorial on "Negro Education," this southern paper spoke in the following manner: It is estimated that half a million Negroes left the South during the year and some newspapers have expressed wonder that they should depart. The wonder, it would seem, that any have remained, when stock is taken of their hardships. Negroes are naturally a contented people. It takes little to keep them happy and satisfied, but as they see the educated negro prosper and have the better things of life, they naturally want their children to also have the advantages that the north gives to them. The Charleston News and Courier recently published statistics of schools for South Carolina which showed that almost ten times as much was spent for the education of white people as was spent upon the negroes, though the negro population at the last census was greater than the white. It has been an erroneous idea that it was too heavy a burden upon the negroes, while a more thorough investigation of the subject would have revealed the fact that the negro, whether he is a property owner or not, pays his proportion of taxes. Usually the negro lives in a rented home and this home pays the lardlord enough rent to take care of all the trespasser interest on the money. taxes and interest on it. On the other hand, the lack of education for the negro is causing many to depart to states where educational advantages are provided, and where less injustices are done. In many places of the south the fee-grabbing officers prey upon the negroes and rob them of their hard earned funds, which conduct does not tend to make of the negro a law abiding individual. The negro is needed in the south. He has a place here in the upbuilding of the country where he is healthy and happy, but year by year they will depart in greater numbers unless they are given something more nearly representing a square deal in the matter of schools, sanitation and wholesome amusement and recreation places. While Major Moton and his gang marvels at the large numbers of Negroes who have left the South, this southern journal marvels at the number who remained. This incident is but another glaring example of the trickery Moton and his ilk will resort to in trying to pull the south's chestnuts out of the fire. Teachers'Examinations An examination to provide an eligible list for teacherships in the colored day-high, junior-high, vocational and elementary schools, will be held at the Franklin School building, corner 13th and K Streets, Northwest, on Wednesday, December 19; beginning at 9 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m., for the written examination, with intermission of one half hour at 12:30 p.m. This announcement was made public by the secretary of the board of examiners for colored schools, N.

Normal Bishop at Paul Quinn Armstrong at Charleston High, (West Va.) Panthers Land C. I. A. A. Title (By P. Bernard Young, Jr.) Richmond, Va., Nov. 29—Union today defeated Hampton in the annual "Turkey Day" classic on Hovey Field in one of the most thrilling and sensational games ever staged by these two teams. For three quarters Hampton held Union scoreless. In the first few minutes of play Hampton rushed the ball with their powerful attack from the the center of the field to Union's 14-yard line, where T. T. Coleman, captain and brilliant right tackle of the "Seasiders," carried the pigskin over on a "tackle over" play for Hampton's touchdown and the only score made on Union this season. Both teams were equally matched, except in weight. Union outweighing Hampton. In the fourth quarter Union scored a touchdown. Derritt carried the ball over from the 2-yard line on a line-plunge and Shields clinched the victory by kicking a place-kick for the extra point. Hampton had failed to make her extra point. For Hampton everyone on the team played great ball, led by the scintillating defensive and offensive work of T. T. Coleman at tackle. His work marked him as one of the greatest tackles of the season. This is probably his last year to play for Hampton, as he will be lost through graduation. He was chosen for "All-American" honors last year and will undoubtedly gain that honor again this year. Pindle at center, Butler at guard, and Jacobs at quarter played their usual fine game. The punting of Gunn is a feature, while he was dangerous to Union on the passing end. Williams at backback was a great gainer and excellent on the defense. T. J. Coleman, the Ruffin brothers, Hardwick, Lee, Hargrove, and Taylor also deserve credit. For Union Boffman led on the offense. "Julie" Martin at half was a consistent gainer. Boffman's stellar plunging was largely responsible for Union's victory. Miller was Union's bright on the line. Barksdale and Fentress also played well. The galaxy of exciting runs, the diversified bombardment, the tense and thrilling moments, Hampton's brilliant playing and strategy against Union, and Union's audacious teamwork marked this game as one of the best of the season.

League Magnates in Session EASTERN TO CONSIDER WASH- INGTON FRANCHISE The officials of the Mutual Association of Colored Eastern Baseball Teams will meet in Philadelphia on December 8 to make final preparations for next season. The Association's roster for 1924 is the most important question to be decided by the magnates. The officials have already gone on record as favoring an eight-club circuit with Washington and Harrisburg, leading candidates for berths. Ben Taylor, manager and owner of the Potomacs, is in Philadelphia to fight for admittance of the Potomacs into the league. Before leaving the city the Potomac's chieftain expressed himself as being confident his mission would be a success and that Washington fans will see real "big time" baseball thru out next season. NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE IN SESSION The annual meeting of the Negro National League will be held in Chicago on December 6. According to press reports all is not well within the ranks of the western circuit and that the magnates, headed by Rube Foster, will try to iron out all differences at the confab. Blocked Kick Wins For Tuskegee November 29—In a pouring rain and muddy field, Tuskegee won from Talladega here today, 7 to 0. In the first half the ball see-sawed up and down the field, both teams punting frequently to get the slippery pigskin in their opponents' territory. Parker of Talladega having much the best of the duel, with the Tuskegee kicker. Near the end of the third quarter, Talladega attempted to punt out of langer but a bad pass resulted in a 13-yard loss. Standing in mud and water up to his shoe-tops, Parker again attempted to punt but slipped and fell, the ball flying low was blocked by a Tuskegee guard. Dansby of Tuskegee covering it behind the goal. Stevenson made extra point from platment. When the game ended Talladega had the ball within 11 yards of Tuskegee's goal and first down. Teddy Bears Tie Annapolis Team Annapolis, Md., Dec. 1—The Teddy Bears of Washington, D. C., met the Ward Athletic Club, here today in one of the most gruelling battles ever staged in Ward's park, the game ending with the score tied, 7 to 7. The Bears scored in the first fifteen minutes of play. A trick forward pass, Tatum to Payne brought the ball to Ward's ten-yard line. From this position Tatum scored on a lateral pass from Payne. "Script" Lee kicked the extra point. The Ward A. C. was inside the Bears ten-yard line on three, or four occasions but lacked the necessary punch to pierce the Bears' stonewall line. Wardss' touchdown came within three minutes of the end of the game from a blocked kick on the 20-yard line from where they went over for the final score. The Ward back-field shone up brilliantly. The outstanding stars for the Bears were Captain Burrell, L. Hamilton, G. Mills, J. Fells, "Script Lee's punting and the defensive play of Tatum and Stewart were other features.

This park The Howard-Lincoln football game has been appropriately named "the classic." Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University is responsible for this title. As long as this writer is able to see or hear, he doesn't want to ever miss a "classic." The affair is getting more glorious each year. An "Old Timer" scanning the field and grandstand between the halves made a remark, of which we were just able to get this much: "A spectacle as astounding as it is brillint." Rather nicely put, we believe. The "Old Timer" no doubt marvelled at seeing 15,000 members of his race at one gathering. Maybe "Miss Washington" had unconsciously smiled at him. Quite likely he was amazed at the ability of the football teams, or was spellbound at the beauty and style of the ladies that surrounded him, or probably the organization and "pep" of the rival university rabbles enthused him. Truly he had many things to attract and hold his attention. But there were other things rather distasteful that possibly our here did not hear about or see. The "Old Timer's" first impression will remain with him forever; therefore, we do not mind telling of those things not altogether pleasing. But we would hate for him to learn that hundreds of spectators were never able to reach the seats they had paid for; that hundreds were unable to get inside of the park at all, because there were no tickets for them to buy; that many entered with counterfeit tickets; that thousands saw only a part of the game because of the poor service at the entrance gate; that ushers resold two-dollar box seats—already bought and paid for—for twenty-five and fifty cents; that ticket collectors gladly let those pass who slipped them a dollar; that only about a dozen policemen were around and they were there to look on and not to handle the crowd; that hundreds only providentially escaped injury on account of the inadequate exits coupled with the mad rush to vacate the park; and that the street car and taxicab services were deplorbale. Leaving our hero and coming to the real issue—for the future prosperity of the classic, above every thing else, the spectators who buy or would buy admission tickets and reserved seats, must be protected and given proper services. From previous experiences, thousands feared such conditions as are outlined in the above paragraph and stayed away from the game. According to a Lincoln official, the park authorities received $3,000. Surely, that was enough money for them to have sufficient attendants to handle the crowd. Considering the dilapidated condition of the park, and the well-known inconvenience of filling and emptying it, the police department should have had at least a hundred men stationed at various points. We believe the Lincoln authorities worked diligently to make everything satisfactory for the spectators. This year they felt satisfied to believe that everything would be handled smoothly but in 1925 they will SEE that things move without a hitch, probably to the extent of negotiating for another park. The authorities here will experience little difficulty next Thanksgiving Day if the game is staged at the Griffith Stadium. This park is modern in every particular.

The writer personally experienced not one hardship at the game. We had our choice of a box on the Howard side, a seat in the press gallery or admittance to the gridiron. We accepted the last with hopes of giving our readers a more accurate account of the game. Yet, we missed a very important play and gave Contee, instead of Long, credit for catching Howard's only attempted forward pass which paved the way for the Bison touchdown. We might add that had not Blackman stumbled Byrd on his long dash Doneghy might never have stopped him. Many were disappointed with the showing of the Howard team. More than one Howardide offered odds on the locals. Howard showed flashes of offensive strength and would have given Lincoln considerable trouble with more deception and better generalship. In the first half, with Peyton, Doneghy and Contee taking turns in carrying the ball, Howard made seven first downs and a touchdown. Lincoln scored on the second play of the second period and from then on Doneghy carried the ball almost exclusively. And he was unequal to the task of defeating Lincoln singlehanded. We believe that this same Kentuckian is the greatest running back in the history of the C. I. A. A., but the clever Lions laid for him and the majority of the times they got him. Two field goals were attempted from near midfield by the Howard captain who has never shown any distance dropkicking ability. A punt placed between the goal line and 20-yard line would have been far better strategy. Both teams were content to play a safe game the final half, and wait on a "break." A tie game was apparently satisfactory to both. The uninteresting last two periods certainly must have been a strain on the spectators. Ten penalties aggregating a total of 104 yards, 90 yards of which were handed out for roughing and holding, marred the game. The "classic" promises to be a medium of bringing the Race closer together. It does not attract any particular class or sex. Race men and women of every vocation viewed the game. Bricklayers, lawyers, doctors, ministers, waiters, hair dressers, reporters, scholars, politicians, bootleggers, society belles, business men, actors, bootblacks and government officials brushed elbows and patted one another on the back. The "classic" is but five years old and the attendance mark has swelled from a few hundred to over 15,000. There are just as good football games on the Thanksgiving Day calendar, but there is but one "classic" and the presence of the above populace makes it stand out. Bear row—J. N.

Tiger Flowers and Robinson in Draw Tiger Flowers, the sensational Atlanta middleweight and second choice of the fight fans as the most logical contender for the title now worn by Mike Mtigue, in the popularity contest of the Boxing Blade, and George Robinson, the Boston middleweight, who recently gave former champion Wilson a stiff argument, fought 12 furious rounds on November 27th at Atlanta, to a draw. Flowers had all the best of the early rounds but Robinson grew stronger as the fight went on. The latter closed the Georgian's right eye in the ninth round. Flowers has just recovered from an attack of influenza. Robinson out-weighed his opponent by about ten pounds. Walk Miller, the manager of Flowers had offered Siki the December 13th date to meet his scrapper. But Siki's manager turned down the offer. Robinson and Flowers may have a return fight on that date. It is expected that Miller will soon take his protege to New York for an active winter campaign. West Virginia Defeats Wilberforce West Virginia Defeats Wilberforce Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 29—Before a large crowd, in a cold rain, on a field covered with three inches of treacherous mud, the team of Wilberforce University, fighting valiantly, yet vainly, went down to defeat before the onslaught of the powerful eleven of West Virginia Collegiate Institute here today by a 6-3 score. To Institute the victory means the undisputed championship of the colored colleges of the Middle West. Wilberforce was the first to score; a place kick by Hurd in the second quarter from the 30-yard line giving the Ohio boys their only score. An exchange of punts having placed Wilberforce in a fovable position of which they took advantage. Institute's winning touchdown came in the third quarter when the Mountaineers opened up with bewildering shift plays that the Wilberforce boys seemed unable to stop. Caldwell, Eaves and Drewery worked the ball to Wilberforce's six-yard line from where Eaves slid through the mud for the only touchdown of the game. Turner failed at goal. Wilberforce fought hard to regain the lead but the Institute line proved impregnable and the slippery ball against which even resin seemed inaffective, made forward passing dangerous, although Wilberforce made several gains by the aerial route. Twice the Ohio boys placed the ball in position for a field goal, and twice Hurd missed the goal by inches. Cardwell, captain and star halfback of Institute, played the game that was expected of him. Despite the heavy field he gained consistently and frequently made gains of 25 yards. It was largely due to his efforts that Institute was placed in a position to score. But he was not alone, being able assisted by Eaves and Drewery in the backfield and Turner, Hodges, Moore, Preston and Jones on the line. Hurd, Spriggs and Willett were the mainstays of Wilberforce.

PAUL According to unofficial reports, Howard and Union will resume football relations next fall. It is also rumored that local fans will be given the opportunity of seeing St. Paul's "wonder team" in action next fall against Howard. Howard and Union have not met on the gridiron since 1920. The Union eleven has just won the C. I. A. A. championship. The startling elevation of St. Paul in the athletic world has made the "wonder team" one of football's biggest drawing cards.

The Nation, through its Extension Secretary, Marion Tyler, writes The Tribune, taking issue with our position toward The Nation. This paragraph is outstanding and characteristic of the letter: "There is a logical defense of the liberty to enforce one amendment at a time, which is as necessary for the friends of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as for those of the eighteenth." We grant, as the secretary of The Nation says: "Its protests against every kind of discrimination, by some of the finest writers on Negro questions, have been copied by the Negro press throughout the country"; but what our race, at any rate the discerning ones want, is not lighter kicks, not more cold grub and better cast-off clothes, but EQUALITY—absolute, complete and unmitigated. With that we will, or should, make our own way; earn and enjoy our own food and clothes. If with such opportunity we cannot "make good" then we ought not to, and undoubtedly would not survive, charity or "friendship" notwithstanding. If we are able to do what we have done, on "friendship" what might not we accomplish with equality? The extension secretary mentions Clement Wood's article in The Nation on the State of Alabama in which he hammers hard on the prevalent "miscegenation" going on in that State. It was on par with the speech delivered by President Harding in Birmingham—an adroit or unintentional justification for discrimination. Why object to so-called miscegenation if not on the ground that we are the inferior party to it? When both parties are conceded equal, there can be no objection to miscegenation. However, Clement Wood's article exactly fits the policy of the nation. There have been protests and protests but what the Negro wants is, the enforcement of the Constitution, without curtailment or favoritism, and not "one amendment at a time." We have nothing to fear from the full enforcement of our Constitution, but we have everything to fear from the "one amendment at the time" policy. We want complete elimination of the segregation rules in the government departments and absolute eradication of all humiliating, stigmatizing and un-American jim crow laws and regulations of every character. Not until then can we be full and free American citizens. Would the Nation as one of our friends expect or wish us to be satisfied with less? Section of Battlefield Trenches Dug for Film For three weeks the odor of damp earth filled the nostrils of Corinne Griffith, Frank Mayo, Spottiswoude Aitken and of their director, Charles J. Brabin. It took three weeks to film the events of six days—the "Six Days" of Elinor Glyn's title for the story she wrote for Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and which will be the attraction at the Broadway Theatre on Sunday for three days. Working from large-scale photographs of German dugouts, Goldwyn artisans faithfully reproduced a honeycomb of those damp dark retreats forty feet beneath the front line trenches. The six days in the dugouts spent by the girl and the man of the story, were long after the evacuation of the enemy. Sifting dirt and rotting wood had long months to intensify the disordered condition in which the German officers left their underground living quarters. The set was dingy, rough-timbered, dank of odor, and strewn with broken crude chairs, tables and cots. But it entailed more research and painstaking duplication than any of the magnificent halls and picturesque village scenes that appear in the picture. A piece of rotten burlap sacking thrust into a crevice, a grimed tin cup on the nail where an orderly replaced it, empty tobacco tins on the ledge where they had been carelessly tossed, colored cartoons from "Simplissimus" and "Jugend" tacked on the walls whose timbers are hacked with initials and jokes and chalked with rough caricatures, broken bits of wood nailed from beams and posts as hooks for helmets and paraphernalia—to the smallest detail of spider web in a corner, of rusted brazier with its scattered ashes on the floor the set reproduces its original Arras.

Adams CORNELIA LAMPTON, FAMOUS PIANIST, COMING Cornelia Lampton, of Chicago, one of the greatest pianists of our times, is scheduled to be presented in piano-forte recital under the auspices of the "Artists' Course Series" at the Lincoln Theatre on next Wednesday afternoon, December 12th, at 5:15 o'clock sharm. It's a great musical treat which is in store for Washingtonians next week, Wednesday. It is the unusual thing, of recent years, of course. There have been but few really great musical recitals in this city comparatively speaking during recent years but now we are beginning to feast on "higher things" since the wonderful song recitals of Miss Abbie Mitchell who opened the series. That recital whetted our taste for more of the higher order and now we're thirsty yea, hungry for more such music "manna" from on high. Only a very few artists have ventured to give recitals on their own initiative and unless some organized club contracted for their services we could hear but few if any of them from time to time. The "Artists' Course" is organized specifically for the purpose of presenting regularly and frequently the great musical artists of our race and to inculcate a desire among us to hear them. As has been recently demonstrated here the white people do not want our presence or support in their music affairs and we should see to it that they shall not tell us again. We should give wholehearted support to our own musical enterprises. It is a real pleasure for the local music lover to know that this season the finest race artists in the realm of music will visit Washington. Abbie Mitchell came and conquered. Coleman, Mr. Rupert B.

Vladimir de Pachmann, Samaroff, Homer, Hutcheson, Duselina Giannini, Lieurance, de Gorgoza, Chaliapin, Zimbalist, Salvi, Marcel Pupre, greatest organist in the world, and many others of world wide fame are receiving the plaudits of the white race as they come and go in recital routine. We must learn to place our own artists on a higher pedestal and give due recognition to their art. When Roland Hayes appeared at Lincoln they packed the house.

ANNA CHARITY BURGESS PASSES AWAY The teachers of Washington suffered the loss of a very superior coworker on Monday, December 3rd, when news was sent to the Thaddeus Stevens School that Mrs. Anna Charity Burges, teacher of the 8-B grade, had, while preparing for school, quietly passed out of this life at her residence, 100 Seaton Place, Northwest. Born in Middleburg, Va. she was brought to Washington as a child. Her education was received wholly in Washington and comprised training in all of the public schools, and a two years' course at Howard University. In addition to this she was well trained musically and had taken extra professional courses. Mrs. Burgess was particularly skilled and successful as a teacher, and during her professional career was privileged to help many others to become professional successes. Because of unusual ability, Mrs. Burgess had attained to a higher elementary grade than most teachers of her age. The years of her school service were spent at two buildings of the Tenth Division, Reno and Stevens. The greater time was spent at Stevens Schools with which she was thoroughly identified, and to which she gave the best of her life and of her zealous endeavor. Her field of labor was wider than the school, and she was found faithfully at work in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and in the community. She was for a long time identified with the Teachers' Benefit and Anuity Association of which she was a valued member at the time of her death. She is survived by her husband, Mr. Timothy Burgess, and by her mother Mrs. Mary Charity, and brothers and sisters. A glowing tribute was paid Mrs. Burgess by the Teachers' Benefit and Anuity Association. IN MEMORIAM MATTHEWS—In sad but loving, remembrance of a devoted husband and father, Rev.

The word "armistice" has many words hidden in it. See if you can write a word for each meaning that ARMISTICE To fix firmly To cut Frozen water Part of a flower Used on automobiles To mix Light fog To repose Small animals Boy's name is indicated underneath the dotted lines. Use only the letters in the word "armistice." The hidden words contain three or more letters. Example: To fix firmly: Set. Printer's Pi aCslrhe oguYn, etla looleCn, ditUne Ssttea ryAm. Explanation: The letters in the words in this puzzle are all mixed. If you arrange the letters properly you will have the name of a Negro Military official. Jumble Colonel United, Young Charles States Army. Explanation: The words in this sentence are mixed. Do not use the word "nigger." Many of our so-called educated people use the word.

CHRISTMAS POEM CONTEST I am glad to see the Christmas poem contest started for the readers of this page. While I do not write poetry myself I love to read it. Here is a clipping from a white paper that shows what a Negro can do if he tries real hard. The heading reads: "Contee P. Cullen, Negro student at New York University, has been awarded second prize in the Witten Bynner undergraduate poetry contest for 'The Ballad of the Brown Girl, the theme of which was an old 'tale the grandma's tell' around the Negro cabins of the south. "The Poetry Society of America, under whose auspices the contest was held, made this announcement today, and declared that 700 students in 63 colleges and universities had competed. The judges were Witter Bynner, Carl Sandburg and Alice Corbin. "Cullen's ballad, which is 200 lines long, describes the tragedy of a hero who disdains the love of a 'lily maid,' the 'pride of all the south,' for that of a 'dark brown girl' because of the latter's gold." I hope that his will be encouraging to our Tribunites to put forth their best efforts. Master George G. Jenkins, Jr., 1443 S Street, Northwest, celebrated his seventh birthday on November 26 with a party which was attended by many of his friends. THEA OUR LETTER BOX OBSERVE THIS Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name, age, address, school, and school class. Please write your age after your name in "every letter." Dear Editor: Please allow me to thank you for the questions you asked about Frederick Douglass, for they have been of great interest to me. I had read a little about him before but I never paid much attention to it. I think every colored boy and girl should read the story of Douglass. While looking these questions up I learned many important and interesting facts which will help me very much in school. I live in the vleinity of Douglass' old home and have visited it several times. It is very interesting, especially his library which contains his old books and other old relies. I am very much interested in the "Children's Page" and without it I would be at a great loss. I hope that you and all the Tribunites had a very pleasant Thanksgiving. Dear Editor: I am sending in the answers to the Negro history questions. I have not sent in any answers to the page for a long time. I hope that all of the Tribunites are well. My dear Editor: I am very fond of the "Children Page" section of the Tribune. I like to solve the puzzles and draw the pictures. I do not think that anything else could be as interesting. This is the second time I've written to you, and I hope to write often. PAULINE P. WILLIAMS (?) Dear Editor: I was very much pleased and surprised to see that my letter was published on the "Children's Page" and to see that I was "Honor Child," winning the prize for sending in the answer of your puzzle November 17th. I am now sending in answers to this week's puzzle. THELMA WILSON (11) Dear Editor: I am sending in a few things to help to draw attention of other children to the page. My motto is "Smiles. Smiles. Smiles.' I composed a poem which I hope you will like. It is called "Smiles." SMILES Smile, smile, smile! You will find it very cheap. Every time you smile, smile, smile, You give the world a treat. Smile, smile, smile, You will find it very cheap. Keep on giving smiles away. And you'll help the world a heap. ATER A B I hope that you will publish these things in the "Children's Page" because they are very interesting to my race. I read of an incident concerning the colored race. It claims that there are more colored illiterates than among white. Let us try to wipe out illiteracy. It can be done, and it must be done. This is our business, and it must be attended to. This is our chance. NO ILLITERACY Let's Try IT CAN BE DONE Every Tribunite should remember to do his or her duty. My birthday is on Wednesday, December 5.
