JIM CROW SING HELD ON WHITE HOUSE LOT CHRISTMAS EVE A Happy New Year JIM CROW PRUDENTIAL BANK RAPIDLY FORGING TO THE FRONT With resources above $160,000 and with more than 1000 depositors with deposits totaling over $100,000, the Prudential Bank, under United States Government Supervision, is stepping into the limeweight as one of the race's foremost banks. Every day since opening a continued flow of new business has come to the bank and there has been on an average of over 250 new accounts opened every month. Realizing that there was an opportunity to increase savings among the younger folks the bank installed in the Phillips, Briggs, Cordozo, Randall Junior High and Birney Schools, automatic receiving tellers to receive the small coins from the school children. These tellers receive coins from a penny to a quarter, and give stamps for the amount placed in. When the children receive $1 worth of stamps they are turned in for a regular saving bank book earning interest at three per cent. Largest Deal in History of Race Memphis, Tenn.—The Service Company of Atlanta, Georgia, acquired the controlling interest in the Mississippi Life Insurance Company on December 10. Details of the transaction could not be obtained in time for publication. It was learned, however, that the largest amount of cash ever paid in a sum in a business transaction between colored men, was paid to W. C. Howard, M. M. Cox, and M. B. Burnett, which amount aggregated the total sum of $120,000. Heman E. Perry, president of The Service Company, with his associates, J. A. Robinson and W. H. King, were in Memphis representing the Service Company in closing the deal. The transaction was handled through the law firm of Metcalf & Metcalf The Mississippi Life Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance organizations operated by colored people, with total insurance in force around $20,000,000 and assets of more than a half million dollars, giving employment to over six hundred young men and women of the race. The Service Company is an organization owning and controlling fourteen of the largest Negro enterprises in the country, with combined resources of nearly ten million dollars. Its principal office is in Atlanta, Georgia. Among the organizations is The Service Realty Company, which is building now a large number of homes for colored people. The Atlanta press has recently given much publicity to this phase of their activities. It was learned that their intention is tom ake Memphis one of the important centers of their operations.

Marion Davies in Loendi-Alco Basketb Migration Settling Lynching Problem While Dyer Bill Sleeps There were twenty-six lynchings in the United States in 1923 as compared with sixty-one in 1922. The decrease of more than fifty per cent can be attributed to the unprecedented migration of more than 600,000 Negroes from the South this year. Fear of mob violence has been given in every list of "causes" for the migration. Mississippi and Florida are leading with five known lynchings each; Georgia is credited with four; Oklahoma three; Arkansas, Texas and Alamaba are credited with two each; while Louisiana, Missouri and Virginia have reported one each. While the Dyer Bill hangs in the balance, the Negro takes his case into his own hands and migrates. Pat Harrison and Oscar Underwood can filibuster the Dyer Bill out of the Senate and the migrating Negro filibusters the lynchers.

A. G. LuValle The year 1923 which is fast passing into history, was one of inertia and disappointment to the Negroes of the United States. There was not a single outstanding event of progress in education, religion, business and commerce nor by either of the racial organizations. The intelligentsia of the race has rocked along in its happy-golucky way throughout the year. The prime event of importance this year must be credited to the migration of more than 600,000 Negroes from the South, to the East, North and West. And in this movement there was not a single leader of any note; there was not a single racial organization behind it; it was a movement of the masses, but it was far reaching in its effect. Just as the ending of the Civil War aroused a new racial consciousness in the Negro and started a new epoch in his life in this country; so will the unprecedented migration of Southern Negroes which continued through this year, be the beginning of another epoch. Whatever the result to the race may be—success or failure—in this country, it will date from this big migration. The Negro has gone North and found it even better than he was told. He has made good even in untried fields of employment. He has a new outlook on life, a new independence and a new awakening to his possibilities and a fresh insight to the hypotesis of many of his supposed friends. Possibly the biggest setback to the migrants from the South, is the failure to find suitable housing. The high rents being charged by the rent hogs and unprincipled property owners has forced an unsanitary housing situation upon the migrants and forced crowding into inadequate space. This will produce a large mortality which will be detrimental to thousands of the new comers and reflect upon the race and its hardiness. However on the other hand this crowded housing condition is forcing home ownership to a degree that is simply wonderful. Business and Commerce The 15,000,000 Negroes in this country represent a nation within a nation and the congested numbers in the larger cities offer the best opportunity for business that can be found anywhere. Possibly the one feature in this line this year is The Service Company of Atlanta, claiming re-annual business of $110,000,000. Locally, the opening of The Prudential Bank, in its own home, is a feature for this section. There are now 75 colored banks in the country, capitalized for about $6,700,000; having $26,000,000 in resources and doing an annual business of $110,000,000. There has been but little doing in education. However, all of the schools and colleges are filled to capacity. Howard University raised $250,000 to receive a like amount from the General Educational Board to apply to its Medical School. "LITTLE OLD Football Game, Lincoln In Religion The outstanding disappointment of the year is the failure of the four coloured Methodist Churches to continue their parleys on union. They have permitted one or two Czar-like bishops to block their efforts here in Washington in 1922 and the delegates went home and gave up the ghost. The Negro occupies the most strategic position politically this year than he has ever held. He has discovered the hypocrisy of the Republicans and demonstrated his hostility thereto. The dissatisfaction fostered by the Republican repudiation of the "colored brother" has grown into an routine of President Harding and President Coolidge to appoint a full Negro personnel at the Tuskegee Hospital is a big disappointment. The meeting of an independent number of Negroes in Atlantic City, last July, led by Dr. Geo. E. Cannon and Dr. W. G. Alexander protesting against this repudiation and proving by their votes their independence, has helped much. The turning of the Negroes in Chicago to the Democrats and the failure of the Republicans to support a Negro candidate for Judge there and the success of the Negroes in electing a man to the State Legislature and one for the Board of Aldermen in New York City: along with turning of the Negroes in Maryland to the Democrats was concrete evidence of the independence of the Negro in politics and the very excellent positoin he is occupying this year and will hold next year. Coolidge may be nominated next June but that does not mean that he will be elected. The Republicans have not given the Northern Negro a square deal and the Negro evidently is going to rsent it in the coming elections. As proof of the possibility of fighting and getting something for fighting, just last week Dr. Geo. E. Cannon of Jersey was elected as one of the delegates-at-large to the Cleveland Convention, with Dr. W. G. Alexander as alternate. Miller and Lyles brought out a new show this year, "Runnin' Wild," that is easily the hit of the year. Starting in Washington, then to Boston it is now on an indefinite run on Broadway, New Year. J. A. Jackson continues "The Page" in The Billboard. There were a number of "fairs" and expositions over the country that attracted many persons. There were no colored pictures of any particular importance produced thsi year. Very few of the colored owned houses are doing a paying business. The Field of Sports Possibly there has been more activity in the field of sports than in any other activity of the race. Wills failed to get a chance at Dempsey or Firpo and "Battling Siki" came to America and proved a miserable failure. The colored baseball leagues, one in the middle west and the other in (Continued on page 6) Announcement was made this week by the Pulpit Supply Committee of Lincoln Memorial Congregational Temple Church, corner 11th and R Streets, Northwest, of the selection of Rev. R. W. Brooks, of Detroit, Michigan; as pastor of that church. The selection of Rev Brooks came after nearly six months of deliberation and investigation by the committee. The committees report was unanimous. Rev. R. W. Brooks is now pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Dertroit, Michigan. He has accepted the call of Lincoln Temple and will resign from his charge in Detroit December 30th. He will leave immediately for Washington and is expected to arrive here Monday evening, December 31st. The newly called pastor will take the pulpit left vacant by the resignation of Ben Emory B. Smith. Rev. Brooks comes to Washington highly recommended and with a record that commands attention. He is thirty-one years of age; is married and has no children. Rev. Brooks received his academic training at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. He later went to Oberlin where he received his collegiate training. Upon completion of his course at Oberlin, he entered the theological department of the University of Chicago where he received his divinity degree. Plymouth Congregational Church of Detroit where Rev. Brooks has pastored for three years, has a membership of over 200 as a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Rev. Brooks has been one of the leading figures in that organization. He was a member of the Detroit Council of Churches, a member of the Race Relation Commission, a member of the Fellowship for a Greater Order and a member of the Executive Committee of the United Civic League. For several months he taught a class of white ladies at the First Congregational Church of Detroit on the "Trend of the Races." Mrs. Brooks is a very talented young woman and she is thoroughly in accord with her husband's church work. Rev. Brooks will possibly make his first appearance here at the watch night service Monday night if his train arrives in time. His first sermon will be delivered January 6th at the morning service. He has announced that his subject will be "The Advancing Church," Exodus 14:15. A large crowd is expected to greet the new minister. COMMITTEE FROM LOUISIANA STATE CLUB CALLS ON SENATOR RANSDELL SENATOR KANSDELL Wednesday morning at 11:45 o'clock a special committee from the Louisiana State Club at Howard University called on their state Senior Senator, J. E. Ransdell. The conference was held in the Democratic reception room just outside the chamber. The committee disclosed to the Senator the purpose and function of the Louisiana State Club, and touched upon some conditions of national import. The Senator very highly endorsed the club and spoke frankly and freely on all of the things said to him. The composition of the committee was as follows: A. F. Spencer, president; Whitney Ewell, secretary; and A. Leon Richardson, ex-president of the club. During the past week, Mr. Ewell met and had a conference with W. L. Cohen who was here for the Republican Committee Meeting on Re-apportionment, and also looking after his confirmation as comptroller of port at New Orleans. Mr. Cohen endorsed the club. Out of recognition and acknowledgment of the achievement of A. C. Priestley on the gridiron this season the club tendered him a reception at the Whitelaw Hotel, December 27. 2am 150sec, 1923 RACE RECEIVES FACTS IN CURTIS RECOGNITION ON CASE SEEM TO BE N. J.

Hampton Institute Offers Course for Builders Hampton Institute Offers Course for Builders Hampton, Va., Dec. 28—The Hampton Institute department of building construction, which is in charge of H. Whittemore Brown, who is also secretary-treasurer of the National Builders' Association, an organization of employers and instructors in the building industry, will start on January 2, seven courses, covering a six-week period, and will conduct its second annual builders' conference on February 11, 12, and 13. The courses follow: Plan Reading; Cost-keeping and Estimating; Accounting for Builders; Business English; Business Arithmetic; Strength of Materials for Carpenters; and Materials for Bricklayers. Recently the president of the Association, Charles T. Russell of Richmond, Va., and the secretary-treasurer completed a long trip through the South, including such cities as Richmond, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Spartanburg, Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, Macon, Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham, Mobile, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, and Lexington, Ky., to stimulate interest in the problems of the builders and to assist in the organization of local sections of the Association. Office: 920 U St., N.W. OLN Temple Church of Detroit, Michigan FACTS IN CURTIS CASE SEEM TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD Much misunderstanding prevails in the minds of the public as to the parties in the case now before, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia relative to the purchase of a house in the 1700 block of S Street, Northwest, by Dr. Curtis. The case is popularly known as the Curtis case but in truth the Curtises are not connected with it at all, they having withdrawn immediately after Justice McCoy rendered his decision on the injunction asked for. The premises in question are owned by a white woman named Corrigan who desired to sell to colored. Her next door neighbor by the name of Buckley, also white, objected to the sale because of a covenant signed by property owners in that block and thereupon brought proceedings in the Supreme Court on the ground that the Corrigans were parties to the covenant. The individualities of white or colored have no important significance in the case at all. It is simply a question of restricting the right of residence of the Negro race purely on the ground of race and color. The case in court is where one white person is bringing action to prevent another from selling her property to any one she desires. SMALL CHURCH RAISES FUNDS FOR CARDINAL GIBBONS Rev. S. J. Peck, pastor of Holy Ghost Church, Issue, Charles County, Maryland, has turned over to the Board of Trustees of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute $100 collected in his parish. Of this $10 is a personal contribution; the rest was collected by the colored committee almost wholly from the colored parishioners. The amount is large considering the small number of Negro parishioners and the little they have in worldly wealth. The Cardinal Gibbons Charity Club, composed of twenty elderly colored women of Washington, D.C., by great effort and sacrifice through tea-parties and other means, have raised $100 for the Cardinal Gibbons' Institute, which they have turned over to the Executive Secretary. Unusual credit is due this group for their activities. December 31st at the A Happy New Year N.W. Price 5 Cents TMAS EVE h SEGREGATED SING IS PRODUCT OF MRS. PELHAM Nestled under the rays of the myrad of lights that flooded the National Christmas Tree, located in front of the White House on the Ellipse, a small group of Colored people at Midnight, Christmas eve, staged a Jim Crow sing after the whites had completed their program for President Coolidge. The sing was arranged under the auspices of the Colored Community Center Department of the Public School of the District of Columbia with Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham as the promoter. The regular Christmas Carol sing and band concert which was arranged some time ago, began at seven o'clock. President Coolidge opened the celebration by pressing the button that lighted the tree. After the concert by the Marine Band the carols were sung by the combined choirs of several churches. After the regular program was over, the crowd began to leave. The hands on the clock pointed to 11:30 p.m. when the Negro, or Jim Crow, part of the program was rendered with a few people who braved the midnight air; the tall stately elms that surround the Ellipse; and the clear sky, as an audience. The first number on the program "O, Come All Ye Faithful" was indeed an appropriate one for only those faithful to the Jim Crow policy of Mrs. Pelham were out to participate. After the echo of this number had died among the bare limbs that shivered in a biting December breeze, Rev. University, read the "Prophecy." Later in the program this same Mr. (Rev.) Smith told the "Story." Whether it was the story of how the Negro citizens of the District resented this Jim Crow program could not be learned. Mrs. Pelham ,who is National Secretary of the National Race Congress (an organization existing exclusively for the fighting of Jim crowism and racial segregation) was the prime organizer of the sing. Her excuse for having it was that such a demonstration would do a great deal of good among colored residents. Mrs. Pelham further explained that the reason for having it at midnight, was that the colored people of Washington could not complete their work and get down to the Ellipse any earlier. Besides being a national officer of the Race Congress of which Rev. W. H. Jernagin is president, Mrs. Pelham is head of the Colored Department of the Community Centers under Mrs. Cecil Norton Sisson wife of the late Congressman Sission from Mississippi who was a rabid Negro hater. The first announcement that there would be a Jim Crow sing on the Ellipse appeared last Saturday in the daily papers; apparently the whole affair was very hastily gotten up so that those who were to participate in it would not have time to learn the truth. Many who did take part were unaware of the humiliation they were bringing on themselves until the program had started. The whole affair has bruoght bitter protest from hundreds of citizens. Over fifty protests were registered at The Tribune office since the affair occurred. Wherever people gathered Christmas day the chief topic was the Jim Crow sing on the Ellipse. COLORED PRIEST TO CELEBRATE HIGH MASS. Father John, a colored priest, of the Society of the African Missions, will celebrate High Mass at St. Augustine's Church on Sunday, December 30, at 11 o'clock.

These two groups are in the city to discuss together their work for the Cardinal Gibbons Institute. the Lincoln Theatre.

The Tribune Sport Review THE SPORT EDITOR WISHES YOU "A HAPPY NEW YEAR" Race Well Represented in all Branches of Sport During 1923 PAGE FOUR The THE Race Well Represen Branches of Handicapped by Prejudice, yet make Strides Forward; Great Baseball Year A new baseball era was established here last spring when Ben Taylor arrived from the West, organized the Potomacs and managed the club thru a successful season. Next season will see the Potomacs a member of the Eastern Association. Taylor deserves great credit for carrying his aggregation thru the season in the face of league competition and difficulties as to a playing field. The Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball teams experienced its first season of operation this year. The Association met with overwhelming success. The pennant was won by the Hilldale club, probably the greatest Negro baseball machine ever gotten together. Mackey, Hilldale's catcher lead the league in batting. The officials of the Association voted this fall to grant two other clubs, Washington Potomacs and Harrisburg Giants, franchises for 1924. The Negro National League in the west completed a prosperous year. The Kansas City Monarchs won western ponfalon. The District Twilight League title contested for by the leading indepen dent and sandlot teams was won after a bitter fight by the Piedmont club. * * * FOOTBALL DREW WELL The happenings on the gridiron during the 1923 season has only recently been told. The Howard-Lincoln "classic" was the banner attraction but other traditional encounters West Virginia, St. Paul-Va. *10th* member, Morehouse-Fisk, Tuskegee-Talladega Shaw-A. & T, Wiley-Prairie View, drew big crowds and furnished wholesome rivalry. Union was awarded the C. I. A. A. championship but no authority was willing to name the best eleven in the country. Charles West at W. & J., Sam Taylor at Northwestern, Jackson at Columbia, and Drew at Amherst were the most conspicuous of our luminaries to shine at Northern Colleges. The Dunbar High School eleven landed the scholastic championship of Maryland, Virginia and the District. The Teddy Bears had little trouble in annexing the local sand-lot title. A pall was cast over football followers thru the death of Jack Trice. The Iowa State star was seriously injured in the Minnesota game. A bronze tablet, bearing a statement taken from Trice's diary written just before he went on the gridiron for his last game, has been erected in his honor by the Iowa State students and officials. **** PREJUDICE HURTS BOXING Negro prize fighters suffered the same fate of prejudice and "Jim-Crowism' in 1923 as has been theirs for the past few years. Yet today they stand just as they have thru the ages. The Race has never ceased to develop its quota of champs and near champs. Twice during the past year Harry Wills warmed up to show the public that he is as fit now as ever. Jack Thompson, colored and Jeff Smith, white, were the only fighters who dared face the New Orleans panther. They lasted 4 and 2 rounds, respectively. Both were severely beaten, the latter hitting the floor nine times during the two rounds. Regardless of the propaganda flashed by the white sport writers that Wills' hands are bad and that he has gone back, Harry still remains in the opinion of the boxing public, Dempsey's only logical opponent. And Wills will remain so until the crown is his or he retires. "Kid" Norfolk, with victories over Lee Anderson, Nolan, "Tut" Jackson, "Jamaica Kid' and "Battling" Siki, was the most active of our fighters. Norfolk is capable of trimming any middleweight or light heavyweight in the country today, black or white Danny Edwards did not fight as often as last year but was just as formidable. Tiger Flowers showed great promise and is another battler deserves to be more in the spotlight. Batling Siki pulled the prize bone of the season when he went to Dublin, Ireland, met and was defeated by Mike McNeil in a 20-round affair on St. Patrick's Day. The International Boxing Union ruled that the fight was not for the light heavyweight championship in that the participants did not weigh in. Since, however, this same board has declared Siki minus of the title because it is alleged he failed to meet Carpentier in a return match. American sport writers recognize McTigue as champion. Four other Race individuals carved their names along different lines of boxing history. George P. Moore, in the capacity of manager of a stable of boxers which included Danny Edwards, Ansell Bell, Willie Walker and Willie Sinclair, did more to lower the barrier of prejudice than he will ever receive credit for in print. With the new boxing law in Pennsylvania controlled by a board of three men, Governor Pinchot named Charles Fred White, Philadelphia lawyer, a member of the board. The white members of the commission opened up by putting a "Jim Crow" order regarding bouts into effect but White succeeded in having it suspended. Mrs. Prenty who promotes fights at the Golden Gate Athletic Club, Philadelphia, has the distinction of being the only woman fight promoter in the country. The New York boxing board appointed Joe Jeanette, former well-known heavyweight, a referee, last March. Jeanette handled a number of big fights during the year. The hearts of many boxing fans were touched with the news of the death of Simpson Thompkins, who fought under the name of young Peter Jackson. Thompkins died a paucer in Baltimore in September. PROMISING TENNIS YOUTHS sive Brown won the second success championship. Brown also won a number of state titles, including Maryland and New York. The champion got in bad with the "powers" at the national events by acting unsportsmanlike on the courts and as a result drew a year's suspension. Dr. J. McGriff of Pertmouth, Va. and Dr. E. D. Downing of Roanoke won the men's doubles, Mrs. Wade and E. G. Saitch, both of New York, the mixed doubles, Miss I. Channell of Chicago, women's singles, Miss E. Leonard of New York and Mrs. Wade, women's doubles and A. Woolridge of Washington, D. C., junior singles. The local tournament was cleverly put over and Tally Holmes again proved that he is the master of all localities. The stellar playing of the youngsters featured the season.. In Ted Thompson, Woolridge, Cook and Walker, the District is well stalked for the future. Thompson along with the New York wonder, Saitch, are looked upon as likely to upset Brown in the very near future. STAND OUT ON CINDER PATH Each year the Race has presented its Rtrack champions. Dehart Hubbard was probable the outstanding of our many star track and field performers. The University of Michigan star won the national broad jump and hop, step and jump events. In winning the former he outleaped both Ned Gourdir world's record holder and Sol Butler Earl Johnson, again landed the five-mile championship. Charles West garnered one of America's most coveted prizes when he finished with the lowest number of points in the pentathon events at the Penn Carnival. The Howard relay team finished a bang-up second in a lofty class at the Penn relays. The Bates University quartet stepped the fastest time of the Carnival to defeat the Blue and White runners. Lincoln won a heat at the Carnival over a classy field of whites. Howard trackmen scored enough points at the Howard and Hampton meets to win both of these affairs. Edward, the English speed marvel made his debut here but failed to impress. Richardson, a Shaw Junior high school sprint with century dashes of 10 flat to his credit, featured the work of the high schoolers. The west furnished a fast college youngster in Albert Washington. Philip Granville a brown-skinned Canadian defeated William Plant and others for the 7-mile walk championship.

Bernard Young, Jr. BOXING COMMISSION SUSPENDS "JIM CROW" ORDERS The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, at a meeting in Philadelphia Tuesday, suspended the recent ruling of its chairman which banned "mixed" boxing bouts in the State. The stand taken by the colored member of the board, Charles F. White, had much to do with the suspension of this edict. Mr. White, in a public statement, asailed the chairman for having issued such an order without his knowledge. Chairman Recap is alleged to have secured the vote of the other white member, Harvey J. Boyle, Pittsburg sports writer, against the mixed bouts ruling, over the long-distance telephone. According to the statement given out after Tuesday's meeting, the order is suspended until the state attorney general can inquire into the legal status of the question. The attorney general is to meet the commission within a few days. It is unlikely that the matter will be brought up again. The desired effect of the order banning mixed bouts has no doubt been far-reaching. Few, if any athletic clubs will now put on matches between members of both races for fear of incurring the wrath of the two white members of the board who could at any time swing the vote over the Negro member. This phase of the question was pretty well determined before the members of the board were named. It looks like another case of pulling the political shade over the eyes of Race voters. LOCAL FANS WELCOME EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE Many expressions of joy over the announcement that Ben Taylor's Potomacs have been granted a franchise in the Eastern Association, have_come to this office. The fans are aroused over the chance of seeing all of the Association teams perform. They recall the brilliant showing of the Potomacs last season against almost unsurmountable odds. They know that only a "miracle-man" could have carried the team through the season in the face of the obstacles which Taylor met. Yet, "Old Reliable" piloted his aggregation into the championship of the District, Maryland and Virginia by capturing five out of six games from the Baltimore Black Sox in a post-season series. Manager Taylor's associate, George W. Robinson, is the proprietor of "The Roadside," Philadelphia's most popular hotel. Mr. Robinson is one of the Race's leading business men. He is in perfect accord with Taylor's plan to establish Negro professional baseball in Washington. Another step forward has been made. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 22—Victory smiled upon Hampton when she won her initial game of the season over the Shaw Five, by a score of 24 to 14 on Friday night December 21. In thrills and brilliant playing the game was equal to the best that any early-season game can produce. At times it fairly sparkled with lightning passes and sensational shots, not to mention the moments of flashy, dazzling team work. Both teams received a hearty ovation upon their appearance on the court. The first half started with a rush that showed that both teams were well matched and determined to win. Gun of Hampton scored first with a foul shot. McNichols followed with a field goal. Lytle, Shaw's star, next scored a beautiful field goal and made the score 3 to 2 in Hampton's favor. He ducked and twisted his way down of glory by administering two crushing defeats to their only rivals the Commonwealth team of New York. A picked aggregation in the west surprised Loendi in their only engagement. Both the Loendi and Commonwealth fives appeared at Murray Casino during the last season. Washington fans manifested quite a bit of interest in the District Basketball League that operated last winter. The Alco and Gladiator quints finished the league schedule deadlocked for the title. WELL REPRESENTED AT MISCELLANEOUS-SPORTS. The wrestling interest was a bit revived by the appearance of Reggie Siki, a Senegalese. Al Jones and Reese, local wrestlers were not as active as in former years. Another Sengalese, Ali Nefatti, broke into the head-lines by his courageous riding in the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden. The foreign black was handicapped thru his inability to get a partner able to stand the gaff. S. H. Dudley, local theatre magnate campaigned a stake racing winner in "Strut Miss Lizzie," a three year old filly, "Strut Miss Lizzie" won overnight handicaps on Maryland and Canadian tracks. Will Perkins, owns and trains one of the most powerful stables in the country. The Perkins horses are now racing at New Orleans. The Negro jockeys are practically extinct. Few are seen riding steeplechase races while none ride on the flat at the big tracks.

Another step the floor again and—winn—the score became 4 to 3 in Shaw's favor. Shaw registered another field goal and the score became 6 to 3 in her favor. Things were looking bad for the "Seasiders." Hamptonians were begging for a shot and Hampton rallied. Hargrove started the fireworks with a lightening-like field goal. Shaw was leading by one point—score 6 to 5 in her favor. With a bewildering series of passes Hampton worked down the court and McNichols caged the goal that put Hampton into the lead. She was never headed after this, but put up an impenetrable defense and a winning offense. Again there was a thrilling exhibition of "tries" and blocks until Gun caged another one. The score was now 11 to 6 in favor of the "Seasiders." McNichols scored a foul shot. Shaw in turn scored one point on a foul. She rallied but was unable to outscore the Hampton 'quintet. Hampton registered another point on a foul, at the close of the first half. Hampton was leading by a 6-point margin. The score was 13 to 7. In the second half Shaw was unable to break through Hampton's defense for field goals, until very near the end of the game. She became desperate and was staging a 'threatening' rally. Substitutions were made but to no avail. Forte scored two field goals for Shaw and ran the score up to 22 to 14. Shaw's only other scores were made on fouls in this half. McNichols registered a perfect field goal from the center of the floor. Very soon after this play the game ended and Hampton was proclaimed victor by a 24 to 14 score. Gun, Langston, McNichols, Hargrove, and Jones were the outstanding Hampton players. Lytle, Forte, and Falkener, starred for Shaw. Line-up: Hampton (24) Shaw (14) Gun R.G. Lytle Langston L.G.

Whitehead Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 22—Thomas Frissell Burrell, '25, of Roans, Gloucester County, Va., was the unanimous choice of the seventeen letter men who cast their ballots for St. Paul's 1924 football captain at the annual banquet held in the lower auditorium of Maurice Hall on Tuesday evening, December 18th. The selection of this sterling athlete came as no surprise to those who had closely followed the players during the past gridiron season. Burrell is a hard, relentless player and has held the pivotal position on the varsity team for the past two years. He is one of the popular students at St. Paul School, and is destined to be one of the great- est leaders of the "wonder team." Thirteen Men Receive Insignia Captain Parker, Captain-elect Burrell, former Captain Maddux, Blackwell, Boykins, Byrd, Coleman, Collins, Mason, Miller, Pierce, Walker and Lawyer Williams were given the "St. P" official monogram in football for 1923. Seven Win Gold Charm The following named young men were awarded the gold football charm with the "St. P" official insignia engraved thereon: Captain Wallace Thomas Parker (fullback), Midlothian, Va.; Captain-elect Thomas Frissell Burrell (center), Roans, Va.; former Captain (1921) Ashur Lee Maddux (right end), Blackstone, Va.; Charles Lemark Blackwell (left tackle), Kenbridge, Va.; Earl Francis Collins (right halfback), Pocomoke City, Md.; Orville Greenleaf Walker (left halfback), South Richmond, Va.; and Lawyer Wilmins (quarterback), Rawlings, Va. St. Paul's First Season as Member of C. I. A. A. The season of 1923 was St. Paul's first to participate in intercollegiate football as a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The great institution proved herself a worthy foe in every respect; and the forty-two boys donned the Orange and Black togs acquitted themselves in a manner becoming amateur athletes of the Tiger type. Banquet Great Climax The banquet was a great climax to a brilliant football season. One hundred attended the memorable event. Rev. J. Alvin Russell, '02, was toastmaster. The principal speakers were Archdeacon Russell and Rev. M. B. Birchett, '09. Several alumni were extended an invitation, but business prevented their being present. Fitting tributes were paid the outgoing and incoming captains and the squad by the speakers. Archdeacon Russell said in part: "Let your minds be saturated with high ideals and noble principles." Mr. Birchett reviewed St. Paul's athletic history. He spoke of the life of the boys, their hard fight and thrilling struggle. His address was strong and timely. "Red" Parker, All-American C. I. A. A. fullback, thanked his teammates for their loyalty, fight, support and co-operation. "Jake" Burrell said among other things: "I shall do all in my power to merit the signal honor bestowed upon me here tonight. St. Paul will enter the arena next year with the C. I. A. A. football championship as its main objective; and I believe we shall emerge from our 1924 battles victoriously." ST. CYPRIANS MAKE RECORD SCORE The St. Cyprian quint made what is probably a world's basketball scoring record when they counted 109 times to Camp Humphrey's 8. Campbell scored 25 field goals, Carroll garnered 12, and Slade 5. Greenfield's guarding was good. The St. Cyprian lightweights trounced the Manchesterers 28-17 in the preliminary game.

CHANGES IN BASKETBALL RULES FOR 1924 (By Benjamin Washington) Immediately upon the close of the football season sport lovers are thinking in terms of basketball and it is extremely necessary that coaches and players be kept informed anent the changes that occur in this activity. The most radical change in the rules is the one recommended to the Rules Revision Committee, of the A. A. U. of the United States last year by Mr. Benjamin Washington, of this city. It is as follows: When a personal foul is called, the player against whom the foul is committed MUST attempt the free throw or throws; but in case this player is so injured that he must leave the game, his substitute must attempt the free throw. If the player so fouled is to leave the game for any other reason (disqualification etc.) he Lincoln 12th St. Near U, N. W.

Who is Society's most dangerous criminal? Is it the Gunman? MARSHALL NEILAN reveals with daring truthfulness the criminal who threatens the safety of society—who laughs at the conventions which insure safety to sisters, daughters, wives—who makes all beautiful women his prey. THE 'ETERNAL 3' must attempt the throw before leaving the court. The other radical change is: Rule 15—Penalty for personal fouls —Sections 6 to 9. When a personal foul is committed against a player who is in his own goal zone, two free throws are awarded ONLY when the offended player is in possession of the ball. If a player who is outside of his OWN GOAL ZONE is fouled while in the act of throwing for goal, two free throws are awarded. A double foul, regardless of where committed, gives each team ONE free throw. Change in TIME OUT RULE—Rule 11. A captain may request "time out" whenever the ball is DEAD_or when ever in play is possession of HIS team. Violation of this rule can be considered a foul for delaying the game. Theatre Chas. E.

Although others share most in it, the Negro is getting a bit of it. A. H. "In all bad there's some 'good,' the old saying goes. Much can be found in sup I. L. PARKER port of it. In 1923, as in 1863, the Negro sees on his horizon a new hope, a new possibility. The Industrial North has called him. He is answering. He is finding a new and permanent home and is beckoning to his kin to follow into a land where a dollar is a dollar and prejudice and race hatred are not so great.

He observes that the Negro has a growing self-consciousness—new ideals—and demands equal rights. Segregation, he finds, in the North, caused by the influx, has made the Negro the victim of unscrupulous landlords. Rentals have increased from 60 to 110 per cent. Slavery left the Negro injuriously affected, spiritually. His "folk music"—a product of the damnable institution of slavery—is weird and unintelligible and most detestable. It has no African origin nor semblance. The Negro has evolved a "superreligious consciousness," as a result of oppression, which has caused him to entrust "his most minute problems" to God. This has hindered him in his "material and political advancement." Being oppressed and segregated and suffering all the attendant horrors, the Negro has resorted to the "cheap amusement, found in cabarets, cheap burlesque shows, and other forms of underworld life, to alleviate the distressful conditions under which he lives. Nothing, which makes for cultural advancement, can be expected to predominate in such places. The race has been divided into many color groups, the result of miscegenation, which has brought about as many divisions in its social life.

This is seen, working its ill-effects, in two of the "most influential welfare organizations." "One accuses the other of being too white," and is itself, in return, branded too black. The one has a "program of social equality, aided by philanthropic help"; the other, one of "social isolation and self-help." Both groups set forth the bases of their respective contentions. One, "which is led and influenced by the mulatto element," contends: "1. A large part of the blood in their veins is that of their white fathers, which carries with it physical and spiritual characteristics. "2. Influenced by the American school system and environment, whose aims are to perpetuate the white ideal, they become homogeneous with the white in point of view. "3. Because of color and heredity tendencies, they seldom find congenial society with the Negro of darker hue. "4. The last justificatoin is found in his constitutional rights." The other, led and influenced by the darker element, contends: "1. The Divine Creator had in mind a purpose in creating them as he did, dark in color with distinct physical characteristics from other people, and placing them on a different continent. "2. They oppose social equality as it is interpreted in America, claiming by seeking the white race they com- THIS I OF G THE "A Ha FLI THE FEDERAL LIFE IN have been very kind to their WE want you to know your infant company has s ful in writing 1150 policies our opening day, May 1st, force of four people with Your support and criti a personal interest in the t the extent that we have pla erty in the District of Colu To our Stockholders, Policyholders, Friends, the Public in General, and the Agency force. As We Think, So Are We The white environments, in which the American Negro has lived, have had their effects. White is a symbol of purity, of perfection. From the cradle, he has been taught to idolize "white" and to look upon black as "evil." Therefore, those of darker hue have resorted to "hair straightening and face bleaching" and other cosmetic arts in an effort to counteract the "evils" of racial characteristics. The Negro churches, newspapers, magazines, secret societies, business, and philanthropic organizations, go beyond the boundaries of their respective fields of work and impede their own progress by making themselves open forums "for the airing of all racial grievances." But a new type of Negro, Mr. Poston admits, has appeared and is making himself seen and heard. This new type is composed of the "grand-sons and great-grandsons of Uncle Tom." The Negro of the new type is demanding that he be understood as a man and not as an object of pity. He "has aspirations to the best America can offer." He is satisfied with nothing less than a place in the front rank—thinking clearly—countenancing no compromises, on all issues affecting the status of his race. He is "as revolutionary as science and as reactionary as the multiplication table" in the struggle for race adjustment." However, it is not his intention to resort to violence—such would be folly—but to make himself felt through political action. What's the solution? The Negro problem has taken on new phases, "White supremacy" must be maintained. It is a fact that the two races are amalgamating, which counteracts all efforts for "white supremacy." I ask: What's the solution? Ask Mr. Poston. He says; "white America should absorb the mulatto by intermarriages." The darker element of the race "should be encouraged and assisted by the United States Government" to migrate to Africa. What are you? The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Industrial Savings Bank, will be held on Tuesday, January 8, at the bank.

The Community Centers department of the Public Schools of Washington, rendered a “Community Christmas Tree Program,” Monday night the 24th, around the tree sent here from Vermont, and placed on the Ellipse. The program started at five o'clock, when the President touched a button that switched on the lights in the tree. A program by the whites followed and this program was followed by a concert by the Marine Band at seven o'clock. At 'midnight' a "Midnight service at the Community Christmas tree on the Ellipse, by the colored Community Centers of the D. C.", (led by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, colored community secretary), was rendered. This was a public Christmas Tree, placed on Government owned public ground, for the public. Mrs. Cecil Norton Sisson, directress of community centers and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham as colored community secretary at headquarters, were not satisfied to have one community sing and one community band concert for everybody on the Ellipse. They must carry out the humiliating stultifying jim crowing program, for Negroes, by Negroes, and at midnight. It was this same Miss Cecil Norton that jim crowed the Negroes in the first "Music Week" held here on this same Government owned ground in 1921. Mrs. Pelham is the national Secretary of The National Negro Race Congress. It is pretty hard to see how an officer of an organization that has for its principles race pride-and race progress, could be a party to a jim crow public program, on a public lot. Emory B. Smith, formerly the pastor of Lincoln Congregational Church, appeared on the program twice. The Community Band was "also present." Our race cannot progress and command the respect that is its due so long as we submit to such rotten, jim crow leadership as that of the Community Christmas Tree, by the Colored Community Centers. When we see our college graduates, ministers and community center leaders giving a public jim crow service out on a public lot we wonder if there is any hope for the race at all? How long, Oh Lord, how long, must the Negro be afflicted with these Jim Crow, Uncle Tom would-be leaders? How much longer shall we continue to accept such people and permit them to humiliate us? MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL REPUDIATES HER HUSBAND When Mrs. Mary Church Terrell employed the white lawyers, Newmyer and King, to file a suit for her against the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company for damages, she repudiated the position that her husband held as law professor in the Howard Law School. As a professor in this, the only law school of the race, Judge Terrell has instructed many of the colored lawyers now practicing both in Maryland and the District of Columbia. In selecting this white firm, Mrs. Terrell says by her actions that she has no confidence in the work of her husband; that she has no confidence in the product of the school of which he is a professor, and that she has no confidence in Negro lawyers, of which her husband is one. Judge Terrell has held the position of Judge of the Municipal Court for four consecutive appointments. He has made good on the bench. Mrs. Terrell has traveled and lectured on race pride and race patronage but she fails to live up to her own instructions and now says to the Negro: "Do as I tell you, but do not expect me practice what I preach, in public." There is a new Negro in this country. We have many inconsistent would be-leaders among the race yet. Mrs. Terrell is a national character and she should realize that her actions will speak much louder than her words on the lecture platform. Therefore, if she hopes to continue the prestige she once enjoyed, she must stay within the race in her public dealings. The New Ngero will not accept such brazen inconsistency, not even from Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Big Fight Spectacle in "Little Old New York" Big Fight Spectacle in "Little Old New York" Marion Davies Received Lashes from a Whip on Bare Back in the Cause of Art. One of the most spectacular scenes ever filmed in motion pictures is the big mob scene in the Cosmopolitan picture, "Little Old New York," starring Marion Davies, which opens at the Lincoln Theater on Sunday. Miss Davies, swung on the shoulders of big Louis Wolheim, is rushed through a big mob of a thousand howling men to the whipping-post to receive the punishment which the crowd demands because she rang the firebell and stopped the prizefight. The scene occurs in the streets surrounding Bowling Green and the Battery of New York as they appeared a century ago. Over sixty thousand feet of floor space was covered by the pounding feet of the mob and forty-five immense sunlight are lights shot down a brilliance which rivaled the sun and made it appear as though it were really out doors. Director Sidney Olcott and his assistant, Saul Harrison, shouted themselves hoarse directing the great mob which followed Wolheim down the streets. The slender little figure of Miss Davies, perched on the shoulder of Wolheim as she is hurried to her doom is silhouetted against the sky above the heads of the crowds. heads of the crowds. Robert H.

The New Negro consistency, not even from Mrs. the mob; the huge, brutal appearance of Wolheim as contrasted with the fair, fragile delicacy of Miss Davies as he is lashed to the whipping-post—all combine to make of the scene a most thrilling one. Refusing to employ a "double," Miss Davies insisted on taking the lashes inflicted by the cruel whip herself. The star insisted it would make the picture much better if she took the lashing herself. As a result the beautiful shoulders which have been painted by some of the most famous artists in the land, still bear the marks of the cruel blacksnake whip. Although Wolheim tried to lay on the lashes as lightly as he could and still register the proper effect it was impossible to spare the dainty little star entirely. Director Sidney Olcott, cameramen, mechanics and electricians alike, were loud in their praise of Miss Davies' fortitude in the interests of art. The resulting scene caused a sensation in New York. It was only the day previous to the whipping that Miss Davies fell from Wolheim's shoulders when the latter tripped. She was knocked unconscious for several minutes, but insisted on going on with the scene. "Little Old New York" was adapted from Rida Johnson Young's stage play by Luther Reed. Mrs. Carrie Minor of Ninth Street, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Ida Hill in Springfield, Ohio. Robert H.

Carson's Hospital this week THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 The Women of Washington MRS M. PETERSON Original ideas, plus experience, plus initiative and independent action resulted in the establishing of "The Lingerie Shop" by Mrs. M. Peterson, at 1339 U Street, Northwest. For a number of years Mrs. Peterson did dressmaking. Wishing to specialize she decided to open a lingerie shop and make by hand all of the articles for sale. The shop was opened last June and the business has increased to the extent that Mrs. Peterson employs a young lady recently graduated from the O Street Vocational school and has girls from that school each afternoon, supplementing their school work by actual experience. "There is so much machine made lingerie being peddled around Washington that I thought that the ladies of this city would appreciate having a place where they could secure or have made for them, real hand-made lingerie," said Mrs. Peterson, when asked why she thought of this kind of a shop. The products of Mrs. Peterson's shop, all hand-made, include fine silk undergarments, for ladies and gentlemen, designed to order; trousseaux, garters, vanity cases, beaded hand bags, pin cushions, and costumes for jazz babies. Mrs. Peterson was born in Washington and attended the public schools here. She is the first Washington woman who we have presented in this series of "Women of Washington." The trade of the lingerie shop is not confined to the Race alone. Personal letters have been sent to many white prospective patrons announcing the opening of a shop for real hand-made lingreie. The results were more than expected, and the yuletide trade has surprised Mrs. Peterson. Race Without Any Notable Achievement the east, made good. The Eastern League recently added two new clubs to its association, making an eight club league. The two new clubs are The Potomacs of Washington and The Harrisburg Giants. There was more interest manifested in football this year than was noticeable before. Practically every school made more than expenses on football this year. The Howard-Lincoln game played in Philadelphia this year attracted the largest crowd in the history of the annual contest between these two schools. There was more intersectional football this year than last. Football attracted so much attention this year that other cities, where there are no colored schools, are bidding for games next year. Such cities as Chicago, New York and even Boston want to see colored college teams in action. Other sports like tennis, golf, basket ball and even croquet attracted an increasing number of participants as well as patrons. Organizations Organizations The death of Mrs. Mary B. Tolbert, of Buffalo, N. Y., was a blow to a number of colored organizations, particularly, the women and the Douglass Memorial Association. The Equil Rights League lost its president, Rev. M. N. Shaw, by death this year. Organization is becoming more and more a factor in the life of the Negro. Quite a number of these are over-lapping in their programs, and a number of them exist for no other purpose than to elect officers. However, there is a wonderful possibility for the race in proper organization, which is the one thing the Southern white man fears most. The leadership of our organizations must be in the hands of our own people. It is impossible for the white man to manifest the keen interest in our success and progress that can be generated by our own pepole. There was not a single event of progress noted during the year from any of these organizations. The arrest, trial and conviction of Marcus Garvey has hurt the Universal Negro Improvement Association. "Run Robert" Moton, as president of The National Negro Business League has permitted the League to fade into insignificance. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, officered by white people lost considerably in membership this year and is losing its prestige among the new Negro of today. The National Race Congress, the Equal Rights League, seem to be in a rut without a program or accomplishment. There is nothing programmed for the coming year that offers any food for thought. Kelly Miller's "Sanhedrin" is to meet in February in Chicago. Just what this meeting will accomplish cannot now be forecasted. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams 1923 with "Father Time" is about ready to skip off the stage into eternity. In retrospect we note the rising tide of musical interest here and there manifesting unusual force in some quarters and possibly less in others but altogether a general revival in things of musical import which has served to awaken a larger interest in music among our citizenry. Well may it be! We recount the most important musical activities of the year as follows: Miss Marie James presenting a vocal student in recital at John Wesley church; Miss Eva V. Johnson's special students recital at John Wesley church; Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibb's recital at Howard Theatre; Coleridge-Taylor choral society activities; through the Y. W. C. A.; Community Center Band summer park engagements, James E. Miller, director; Third Baptist choir Easter cantata; Birney Center choral society; Miss Edna Gordon, director; East Washington Male chorus activities; Howard Conservatory pianoforte recitals of Prof. R. W. Tibbs' pupils; Robert G. Shaw Junior High musical activities; Miss Laura E. Tross of South America, piano recital Columbia Conservatory, at Metropolitan A. M. E. church; Washington Conservatory Spring recital; Mrs. Virginia Quivers' recital at St. Mary's Episcopal church; Second Bapt. church, Rev. J. L. S.Holloman, pastor, installed new pipe organ; Mr. Henry L. Grant appointed choir director Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Mr. Clarence C. White, violinist and Miss Mary E. Jones, vocalist, in recital at Metropolitan. A. M. E. church; Prof. R. J. Daniels Music School in recital program, at John Wesley Church; Third Baptist choir sings in Baltimore; Prof. Clyde Leroy Glass establishes piano studio at 1911 Ninth St., N.W., and is appointed organist of Plymouth Congregational church, and at the Maryland State School appointed as music instructor; Mrs. D. E. Tibbs appointed as music instructress at Miner Normal School; Columbia Conservatory organizes free mandolin ensemble for players on plectral instruments; a civic symphony orchestra organized at Lincoln Theatre by Sgt. Dorey T. Rhodes; Howard Band, Sgt. Dorey T. Rhodes, director, enters competition at Philadelphia; the Woman's National Business League, Miss Virginia Williams, president, conducts business crusade including music stores; Mr. Chas. E. Lane, Jr., donates use of Lincoln Theatre to musical enterprises. Prof. Wesley Howard, appearing as violin soloist with the Lincoln Theatre Concert orchestra, Sgt. Dorcy T. Rhodes, conductor; and, last but not least the organization of the "Artists' Course" series group with the following committee: Mrs. Milton A. Francis, Sgt. Dorcy T. Rhodes, Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, Mr. Chas. E. Lane, Jr., and the writer. This committee presented the following artists: Miss Abbie Mitchell, soprano; Miss Cornella Lamton, pianist. Miss Marion Anderson, contralto, will be presented on January 16th, 1924, as the last of the series for this season. In this extended list of musical activities during the year we may have omitted some important items but not intentionally, we assure you. While the list may appear large, still there is much room for improvement during the 1924 season as a much larger and more varied list of musical events could be staged were more In summing up the events fo 1923 we find the migration has been the most outstanding event of the race this year and the future leadership of the race is likely to develope from this movement, India's leader, Ghanda; Italy's strong man, Mussolini, and Turkey's wonder-worker, Kemal Pasha are all from the masses, or have associated themselves with the masses. Our future leaders will be, yea must be men and women who are not ashamed that they are Negroes. But on the other hand must be proud of being Negroes and realize the wonderful opportunities that the Negro have in this country. (Pupil of Madame Leschetizky, Paris, France) CLYDE L.

There are a thousand or more whimsical excuses among us who are adverse when it comes to doing something worth while. We allow personal differences, social caste, local tastes, and much wire pulling to interfere with civic duties hereabouts that is a great hindrance to local entreprises. But those who believe in fair play and educational advancements along all lines, music and what not, should forget self in the education, and help lift higher the standard of music which is so much desired, among people of color. It is to be hoped that this column, "Music Forum," has been an incentive in the local music world. It has endeavored to play fair with all personalities and in all causes aligned with music. We have sought to inspire, enthuse, arouse and intensify interest in all musical affairs concerning the public and hope we have not failed in the effort. We shall continue to maintain the even tenor of our way in the years that follow 1923. "Wishing You a Happy New Year" Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs presented the "Girls Glee Club" of Miner Normal School in a Christmas Operetta entitled "Santa's Surprise' in the auditorium of the school on Friday evening, December 21. It was very original and the chorus work was bright and sparkling, full of the Christmas spirit. The leading character parts were taken by Lucy Childs, Louise Williams, Maude Stratton, Ethel Wise Tomasina Herriot. Miss Gwendolyn Hughes displayed a very pretty voice in "Jolly Santa Clause" and Alice Boone sang "Tis Xmas-Eve" very sweetly. The Twinkling Tapers, Catherine Johnson and Miss Sjumpkins were very attractive. Misses Jackson and Jetter as Pierrot Pierette danced very gracefully. Santa Clause was played by Miss Phoebe Miles. She is especially to be commended. She made a handsome Santa and took the part admirably. The children of the grades added a charm to the affair. They represented Xmas Bells, Holly, Tin Soldiers and Dolls. The Dance of the Xmas Trees was really beautiful, those taking part were: Misses Helen Combs, Colleen Brooks, Ethel Cowan, Una Jackson and Charlotte Smith. Miss Emory Moore was a splendid accompanist and Mr. Stevenson played the violin well. This is the first time Miner Normal ever had a girls' glee club and the new directress deserves commendation. The program consisted of two Acts. Officers of the Club President, Miss Beasley; Vice-president, Miss Miles; Secretary, Miss Thomas and Treasurer, Miss Seruby; Mrs. Lillian Evan Tibbs, Director.

She is the youngest registered pharmacist in the State of North Carolina. Miss Badham is a member of the professional Sorority, Rho Psi Phi of Howard. Mrs. Mary Mathews of Pittsburgh, Pa., is spending the holidays here as guest of her sister. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie].

NOTE.—The two puzzles were submitted by Thelma E. Lane (12). Word Puzzle Think of a list of adjectives that by adding "ly" to them they will form THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1923 OUR LETTER BOX Vocabulary Game Dear Editor: When days are too cold for outdoor play, you may wish you knew an indoor game to while away the time. "I speak your language" is a game that will test your wits. To play it, one of the group thinks of a word with two meanings. Without telling what it is, he begins to describe the word, first for one meaning, then for the other, and back to the first meaning until the word is guessed. Suppose, he says, "I am thinking of a word that is a small section of ground. It is what detectives try to solve; it is something, that thickens; it is what gardens are made in; it is found in a story." When some one in the group realizes that the word described is the word "plot," he does not tell, but crying, "I speak your language," assists the describer with hints of his own. The others in the game as they guess do the same thing until the last one grasps the meaning of the word. Then the one who discovered the meannig first may be "it" for the next round of guessing. Some good ones to describe are pain and pane; hair and hare; plain and plane; chest as part of the body and as a container for valuable things such as pirate gold. The Tribunites who have tried the homonym puzzles on our "Children's Page" can get the most fun out of this game. "BOB" WHITNEY (?) You Are Not Forgotten Dear Editor: I am very much interested in the "Children's Page" and I read it every week. I have not written for a long while and am quite sure you have forgotten me. I am a pupil of Lincoln School in the 8-B grade. I am thirteen years old. Inclosed you will find the answers to some of the history questions and puzzles. MARGUERITE TAYLOR George Writes Again Dear Editor: I am sending in the answers to the puzzles on the "Children's Page." I used to send them in regularly but I have been prevented from doing so since school began. I will try to solve them every week. Holiday time means game time. I am fond of all sorts of sports and games. I enjoyed a new game at the home of a friend of mine last week. The game is a sort of musical guessing game. I am giving it that name anyhow. Lots of other children were at this party and we enjoyed table games and dancing. We then went in to supper. Upon returning from the supper-room, the attention of all was directed New Year to You to the singular wall decorations. Scattered about upon the wall were white cards, upon which were musical staves drawn in red ink. Upon each staff a strain of some well-known song melody was written—the note heads being tiny hearts and the stems arrows. Each selection was numbered. The partners were provided with heart-shaped blank tablets and pencils and told to write down the titles to as many songs as each could guess by humming over the air represented. Any one might also play the melody upon the piano if he could remember the notes long enough to do so without removing the time from the wall. Great was the laughter and the confusion, but at the end of twenty minutes our hostess called us to order. She then played a bar of the songs represented, as follows: "Home, Sweet Home," "Suwanee River," "Old Kentucky Home," "Star Sangled Banner," "America," "Yankee Doodle," "Old Black Joe," "Auld Lang Syne," "Last Rose of Summer," "Annie Laurie." The prize for this contest was a very pretty one. Mounted upon two wreath-shaped mats of crimson, locked together with a gift bar, were the portraits of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. The party broke up at an early hour. I am sure that if you try this game during the holiday you will provide piles and piles of fun for yourself and your guests. From St. Cyprians Dear Editor: I have been reading the Washington Tribune and I am very much interested in it. I would like very much to become one of the members of the "Children's Page."

I am a student of the O Street Vocational School and I am in Senior-two. ELAINE SORRELL (15) Welcome! Dear Editor: If you have no objection to me becoming a Tribunite, I would like very much to become one. I have been reading the "Children's Page" of The Washington Tribune for a month; also trying to solve the different puzzles which appear there each week. I am going to send in the answer to some of the puzzles this week. My name is Joseph A. Quander. I am fourteen years old, and I attend Jones' School in the eighth grade. My teacher's name is Miss E. A. Chase. I hope that you and all the Tribunites are well. JOSEPH A. QUANDER (14) How Old is Hilda? My dear Editor: I am sending in the answers to the puzzles. This is the first time I have sent any answers in. I have been reading this page and have become so interested in it that I am going to try to write to you every week. She Believes in Encouragement Dear Editor: I hope that you will consider this letter. As I have been reading the "Children's Page" in your paper, and find it very interesting. I believe that this page will help the boys and girls of our Race to become better citizens, and also will inspire them. We often wonder why only a few persons of our Race suc- ceed in literature. It is not because of inability, but because we, as a Race have not enough encouragement. CORA L. BYRD (18) Mother is Interested in the Children's Page Dear Editor: I am very interested in the "Children's Page" and my mother is too. This is the first time that I have written to the page. I would like to become a member of the page. I have several friends who write to you. I intended to write last week, but I did not—so I am writing now. I go to James G. Birney School, in the 4-B grade. I live at 1732 Howard Ave., S.E., Anacostia, D. C. MARGUERITE T. BERRY (10) Likes the Puzzles and History Questions Dear Editor: It is a pleasure for me to answer the Negro history questions and solve the puzzles. I read the "Childrens Page" weekly and am very much interested in it. I now intend to write regularly and at some time hope to become an "Honor Child." MARGUERITE TAYLOR (13) Thelma sends in Some Puzzles Dear Editor: I am writing to you once again. I have not written for a long time, but I have been reading the "Childrens Page" every Saturday. I hope every one of the Tribunites were treated royally at Christmas time. I am sending the answers to the puzzles, and a few answers to the Negro history questions. You will find some puzzles, Negro History Questions and their answers. THELMA E. LANE (12) PAGE SEVEN You NEGRO BUSINESS. PROGRESS The following are excerpts, printed in the Southern Workman, from an address by Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Business League, at the meeting of the League in 1923: "When the National Negro Business League was organized in Boston twenty-four years ago the aggregate number of business organizations, corporate and individual, owned and operated by colored people was not more than 20,000 with a combined capital of $10,000,000. Today they own and operate 60,000 with a combined capital of $60,000,000. The Negro owns in America more than $1,000,000,000 worth of property real and personal, whereas when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, the combined capital of the entire nation was about $500,000,000. "We have now 72 successful Negro banks. We should and could have 700. There are many cities with large Negro populations where leaders in business among Negroes could succeed in any reasonable business enterprise if it were properly managed. Durham, Savannah, Atlanta, Richmond, Norfolk, New York, with many others, are setting notable examples in the possibilities of this race to accomplish large results. "Yet there are a few people even today who question the progress of the Negro. Thank God, those people who doubt the ability of the Negro to succeed along business lines grow less and less. We must keep in mind, also that there are people within the race who sometimes thoughtlessly question the ability of their race to succeed; but there is no reason in the world for any pessimism on the part of anyone as to the Negro's ability and determination to succeed along all lines of human endeavor."

HEALTH—SOCIOLOGY— ECONOMICS By the School of Public Health, Howard University Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. Director CRANKING THE ENGINE Today as never before we are beginning to realize that the progress, efficiency and happiness of mankind depend entirely upon his health, social and economic development. They are all so closely interrelated that the ignoring or sacrifice of one materially affects the others and gives an imbalance when thwarts the Divine plan of salvation. "To live most and to serve best" is the happy slogan adopted by Dr. Jesse Feiring Williams of Columbia University in his wonderful little book, "Personal Hygiene Applied." I wish every one could read it, and do most heartily recommend it as the last and best word upon this essentially important subject. If you can't buy it, borrow it—but read it. Even if you stole it I believe your sin would be forgiven if you read it—but please don't steal my copy. At Howard University we are becoming imbued with the thought that it is not only our pleasurable duty "To live most and to serve best" for those within our walks, but to send ahead the idea of this great ideal that those beyond may catch the spirit of life and service. To that end we have adopted this method with the hope of reaching the greatest number, and shall strive to always keep our talks in a plain popular style. Furthermore, it is not our thought to admit these talks to members of our faculty, but rather invite the expressions of others who have a message of inspiration and helpfulness. We want and court evolutionary thought, but shall be inclined to reject revolutionary utterances which are so often more destructive than constructive in the matter of race building. Also we shall give a warmer welcome to optimism than pessimism, for we believe there is always more blue sky there than gray. In the evolution of the Public Health program we have watched it grow to overlap and influence many phases of life, which at first blush do not seem touched by its principles. But careful analysis and observation reveal the dominant force health exerts in all life and its many ramifications. No race or nation can hope for steady advancement and progress as long as it is forced to pay the exhausting price demanded by the toll of a terribly high sickness and death rate, much of which is actually preventable. Put into plain words, there is no way of beating the game, no way of getting ahead, when the losses are so great. With civilization sweeping on as at present, the loss in dollars and cents, the loss in social development which go hand and hand with the losses from sickness and death, strike deeply and fatally into the very heart of racial advancement. This is a matter too serious to be swept aside with an indifferent wave of the hand, a self satisfied smile, and a blind confidence in the future, the erring children of ignorance, pitiful and un- The Washington Tribune Alexandria Agency 803 South Fairfax Street Phone 1398-J Meade Chpael Church Notes The service held at Meade Episcopal Church, Rev. Lorenza A. King, Rector, on Christmas morning was a success. It brought ou ta congregation which filled the church. "The Story of Bethlehem,' a cantata written for Christmas by William R. Spence was sung by the choir of the church, Mrs. J. Milton Hopkins, directress at the organ. At the conclusion of the cantata, there was a choral celebration of the Holy Eucharist which was very impressive. At 7:30 o'clock Friday night, December 28th', the Feast of the "Holy Innocents',' the Sunday School entertainment was given. The program consisted of a short opening service, recitations and singing by the children. Each member of the Sunday School received a present. On New Year's Eve, a midnight service will be held, beginning with the Litany at 11:30 o'clock. Immediately after midnight there will be a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The 'Feast of Lights' an Epihany Service will be held Sunday evening, January 6th at 5 o'clock. At the conclusion of this service every member of the congregation will leave the church with a lighted taper. This is the first service of its kind to be held in any colored church in Virgil. The public is cordially invited. Ida May Colbert was married to Joseph Thomas White, Thursday, December 20 at the residence of the bride's parents. Rev. C. C. Gill officiated.
