LEADERS SHOWING MORE INTEREST IN SANHEDRIN College Fraternities Will Take Active Part in Coming Meeting An interesting and thoughtful reflection on the coming All Race Conference, or "Negro Sanhedrin," to be held in Chicago, Illinois, on February 12th, is noted in a letter recently received by Dean Kelley Miller, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, from Abram Simon, President of the Centeral Conference of American Rabbis and Former President of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia. The letter sent by Dr. Simon follows: "Your pamphlet on 'The Negro Sanhedrin' is a sane, vigorous and ringing appeal to the best in your race. The plan presents an excellent opportunity for dynamic unity and spiritual self-expression. Your Sanhedrin need not be handicapped by the traditions that clustered about the Napoleonic Sanhedrin. Remember please, that the Jews in their scattered Cardibears held to a vast body of doctrine, civil practices and Rabbinic legislation that were hangovers from the days of their independence before the destruction of the Jewish State by Rome. "Because of the disparity between century long practice and the entrance into the rights of French citizenship a new reading of the relation of Jewish traditions and France citizenship became a necessity. Hence the wisdom of Napoleon's convolution of the Sanhedrin, which however, was short-lived. The Sanhedrin was preceded by a 'Convention of Notables' which used the Sanhedrin as a vehicle for interpreting the Jew's newer understanding of Emancipation. You are unhampered by the traditions of an ancient legislation. You can begin afresh. The various national civic organizations can create a Congress of Negro Notables whose scholarship, leadership, and civic qualities will command the respect of all. Such a Congress impresses me as adequate to the needs, if properly organized, without the necessity of fashioning a Sanhedrin which resembles too much of a Supreme Court, and will likely justify the prejudice of an imperium in imperio. "At any rate, I welcome the call for Negro moral self-assertion and unified dignity. I shall watch the growth of this awakening race consciousness and soul-culture with keenest interest." Negro College Fraternities to Take Part In addition to this evidence of the increasing interest being manifested in the movement, Dean Miller has received word from a number of important organizations throughout the country signifying their intention of sending ten delegates each to the conference. Among the various organizations sending such notification is The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first and oldest Greek Letter society organized by Negro college men. According to a statement by Dean Miller, the sending of delegates to the conference on the part of this Fraternity is highly significant in that it indicates that the Negro college youth is awake to the responsibilities which he must shoulder in helping to bring about recognition of his race in world affairs. "The Committee of Arrangements," Dean Miller states, "is especially delighted to know that the young college men are taking hold of the movement with enthusiastic interest."

Grave's Cafe Boasts of Ability to Serve There are few towns in the country that can boast of a cafe that can serve 5000 meals on seven minute's notice and that is just what Graves' Cafe, 16 G Street, Northwest can do. When asked by a Tribune reporter to prove this statement, Joseph S. Graves, proprietor, simply told the reporter to follow him. We went into the large kitchen, and beautifully decorated dining room where long rows of white marble top sanitary tables stood. This dining room is one of the largest in Washington. Its mirrored walls and tile floor lend an air of serenity that is hard to find in any other cafe here. From there into the large kitchen, where we found a force of cooks and assistants that would do the Willard Hotel proud. A chef and three assistants are on duty at the two big ranges all of the time. Mr. Graves has to have three shifts because his cafe stays open all night. Pantry girls are on duty all the time as well as other help necessary in a complete kitchen of this kind. Electric dish washers insure clean and sanitary dishes for the patrons. The storeroom and meat department remind you of a wholesale house. Chickens by the barrels; beef by the ton; eggs by the crate and canned goods by the gross, are just part of wonderful supply of food stored in this room. When asked about the number of meals served each day, Mr. Graves stated that he averages about 1500 a day. This wonderful business has been built up on "service" alone. Lo- (Continued on page 5) W. VA. CONVENTION NAMES PLACES ON PRIMARY TICKET. OLD DOMINION VOTERS PLAN INDEPENDENT VOTERS ORGANIZATION Says Race's Hope Lies in Local Influence Former Candidate fpr Congress Seeks to Awaken Negro Voters Richmond, Va.—What is regarded as a very significant sign of the Negroes' political trend of mind is the great following lining up behind the proposition to form an organization to be known as the independent Voters of America. The first public notice of the movement was given to the press on September 25, 1922, when the following appeared: "New Political Organization. There will be organized in this City (Richmond, Va.) in the near future what is to be known as the Independent Voters of America. This movement has not connection whatever with the 'lily black Republican' movement." This notice was given out by H. H. Price of Richmont, Va., who has, since then, been working steadily on the movement. He feels that the movement is well under way and there will soon be enough states in line to call the proposed conference, which is to be held in some southern city, probably at Raleigh, N. C. In discussing the matter a few days ago before a conference of representatives Mr. Price said: tives Mr. Price said: "We have been working quietly on this proposition for more than a year and we are thoroughly convinced that the only remedy for disadvantages which affect our group is to form an independent organization. The President, in his recent message to Congress, clearly sustains this view, and made certain the attitude of the administration and the Republican party when he said: '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 more promise of real remedy than outside interference. Now, if this is the case, then it is high time for sober thoughts of serious things. And as I see it our only hope is to develop a local sentiment that will give us some influence with those who make and enforce the laws under which we must live and maintain our numerous and varied industries. "The Republican party has had our loyal support for more than fifty years and the only reward has been the placing of a few Negro politicians in some insignificant jobs while the mass of Negroes continue to suffer disfranchisement and discriminations, even in departments of the government itself. A colored man on the Republican National Committee for more than three years has not been able to exert any influence in behalf of the race, nor control affairs political, in the state he represents as national committeeman, couldn't give land a little insignificant job for himself. "Now let us face the matter squarely. If you are elected a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and seated without a word of protest, how much good would it mean to the community in which you live when you return? None in the least. First because the dominant political organization in that community is not Republican, and secondly, because the national organization maintains a policy of non-interference. "That day has come and the hour is at hand when we must hit the independent trail. If these difficulties ING CAM TION NAMES PLAN ET. OLD DOMIN NDENT VOTERS C President Calls on Col.

C.-The faculty, student body and friends of A. & T. College of this city heard on Monday evening, January 7, the race's greatest violinist, Clarence Cameron White. Although he very generously accommodated his hearers with frequent encores and several special requests, their desire for his sweet music seemed insatiable. 0 Street Vocational School The First Semester of the school year is drawing to a close and the Principal and Teachers of this school wish to extend a welcome to all girls over fourteen years of age, who have completed the Sixth Grade and who desire to learn a trade, to register in this school for the coming Semester. The trades taught are, dressmaking, millinery, homekeeping and cafeteria work, lampshade making, novelty making, flower making and hemstitching. With the addition of a pleating machine, a course in the principles of pleating will be a new feature for the new Semester. The course leading to a certificate extends over two years. One half of the time is devoted to trade practice and the other half to general and related subjects which include, english, mathematics, civics, history, geography, industrial design, physical training and music. Girls are advanced as rapidly as ability permits, giving a girl opportunity to complete her course in less than the prescribed time if possible. Development is also offered in the Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Athletic Club and other attractive activities connected with the school. If you have a girl who is adopted for the training send her here; if you know of a girl who would be directed into the right channel by it, tell her about the school. Negroes' Balance of Power Brings Reward in More Schools Atlanta, Ga.—What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive colored public school building program ever undertaken by any community is now nearing completion, in this city It embraces four magnificent new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1000 each, and a high school seating 1500, the five erected at a cost to date of $1,200,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $3,800,000 and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting, representing the last work in construction and equipment. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is provided also with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physicians, dentists and nurses. The high school, which is named for Booker T, Washington, will carry the regular academic curriculum and in addition will provide training in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal, plaster and cement work, tailoring, pressing, sewing cooking, child care, and teacher training. The purpose is to give to the pupils an all-round training for life and fit them for useful and renumerative employment immediately on graduation. A director of vocational guidance helps further to this end by personal conferences, lectures, bulletins and lantern slides. The colored schools are sharing fully in the efforts of the administration to bring the city's public school system up to the highest standard of efficiency. Back of this building program is an intrestering story of interracial co-operation. Atlanta having greatly outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had thrown it against the plan. City officials asked white members of the local interracial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly replied: "Why should we vote taxes on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits." The rest was easy. An agreement was readily reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should have approximately one-third of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out. W.

Plant your advertising seeds in abundant, concentrated local circulation—the newspapers that go to and are read in homes—and you reap an abundant harvest. The newspaper that has effective concentrated local circulation has it because it enjoys reader-confidence and reader-interest. It has local INFLUENCE and STANDING. Influence and standing constitute the fulcrum of which advertising is the lever. And a fulcrum must be LOCAL—close to the object to be moved—or it is nothing. Try it on your next "lift" and see. The nearly 6,000 weekly circulation of The Washington Tribune—essentially a home circulation—concentrated 99 per cent in Washington and its suburbs is, perhaps, the nearest approach to complete weekly newspaper "saturation" attained in any of the great single markets of the world. That advertisers recognize and profit by this unusual condition is attested by the consequent fact that, year in and year out, the volume of advertising printed in The Washington Tribune is repeated. The Washington Tribune's readers want everything any other patriotic group of Americans want. They have money to spend and they spend it with local merchants. Their wants include everything the merchant has on his shelf. If you want to sell to these people, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE is the only medium you need.

M. C. A. The old body was augmented by the two newly installed Commissioners in the persons of "Colonel" Strothers of the Harrisburg Giants and Ben Taylor of the Washington Potomac. Although several months yet remain before the clubs will start the fun flying, the Commissioners consider it a very short time to accomplish the many proposed improvements for their second year of organized ball and perfect plans that will insure the patrons around the Eastern circuit of an even better brand of ball than was dished out during the 1923 campaign when many hectic battles were staged among the clubs of the infant circuit. While a few veterans of many years in active service, familiar to the majority of baseball fans, will be found on the roster of the Harrisburg Giants and Washington Potomacs, both managers, Taylor and Strothers will display an array of new talent, chiefly youngsters from distant points who have already shown enough ability to "make the grade" in the Eastern circuit. The Hilldale Club, champions of the 1923 season, Cuban Stars and Brooklyn Royal Giants who finished in the respective positions, are practically "standing pat" on their last season's line-up, but the Bacharachs, Lincoln Giants and Baltimore Black Sox will present many new faces to the public when the gong sounds, the managers of the last three named clubs have been swinging the old axe with a wicked stroke, some players who have been considered fixtures will be given the gate. Chairman Bolden appointed a committee of five to draft a tentative schedule to be submitted to the entire board of Commission at a special meeting when it will be ratified and adopted. Ben Taylor, Chas. Spedden, Jas. Keenan, Nat. Strong and Ed. Bolden will buckle down to the task of effecting a lay-out to the best interest of all league clubs. With from New York to Washington, the longest jump possible, or rather being the extreme points of the circuit, as the clubs will naturally itinerate the cities in order, the Eastern circuit is a compact proposition and none of the clubs should suffer from railroad mileage. Morris Brown Easy For Morehouse Morris Brown Easy For Morehouse By L. Slater Haynes Atlanta Ga., Jan. 12—The Morehouse quintet swept to a 58-15 victory over the Morris Brown basketteers. Morris Brown's guards were unable to stop the uncanny shooting of Coach Harvey's men. The Morehouse offense started early and at half time the score was 28-11. The Maroon and White showed better floor work than in any previous game. In the second half the Morris Brown men put up a stubborn defense but the Clark-Gayles combination was too much for them. Traylor was the individual star, hooping 9 field baskets and two free throws. Captain Gayles played an unusually hard game, annexing twelve points. Captain Lee of Morris Brown was the high point man for his team making 4 baskets and one free throw. Word was the best all-round player for Morris Brown. A preliminary game was played between the Sophomores and Juniors of Morehouse College. The Sophomores won a hard fast-fought game by the score of 10-9. Coach Harvey offers a silver cup to the champion of the Intra-Mural basketball games. Line-up: Morehouse Morris Brown Gayles (c) R.F. Word Clark L.F. Lee (c) Traylor Center Frailey Bailey R.G.

Howard to Open Court Howard will enter the intercollegiate basketball field on January 19, after a two-year lay off. The local quint will journey to Hampton on the above date to take on the Seasiders. Not since the winter of 1921 has a Blue and White quint been representative on a college court. Only intramural and fraternal basketball has been indulged in during the past two seasons. With hopes that the new gymnasium will be ready next year the sport was revised this year to renew interest and develop future prospects. The Hampton and Lincoln teams will be seen here within the next month. The Virginians are booked to make their appearance on February 2nd; while Lincoln is slated to play here about the middle of February. It is unlikely that any other college quint will appear here this season but the locals may play on foreign courts. The policy of the University opposes contests with athletic club teams in all sports. Howard Track Team Loses Bridges Last October track prospects at Howard looked unusually bright with an entire regular relay string and a host of other track and field veterans in school. However as the time approaches for actual competition the Bisons look none too strong in track material, especially quartermilers. The loss of Bridges, a member of the relay team that landed secondplace behind Bates College at the Penn Carnival, will be felt. Poor health caused Bridges to leave college at the holiday period and he is not expected to return. In fact the Pittsburgher's brilliant track career may be at an end. Three other relay runners are on the uncertain list. Brown, a former Dunbar track star was badly injured in an automobile accident and will not be of any service this spring. Leo Robinson and ex-captain Craft are uncertain if they can spare enough time from their class work. Both Robinson and Craft are senior medics and their clas duties are greatly increased over last year. They may be induced to change, however; and Anderson, the outstanding weight and discus thrower in our colleges is captain of this year's track team. SENTINELS 33; ST. CYPRIANS 26 Long distance shooting by the Coates brothers and Ted Thompson decided the Sentinel-St. Cyprian basketball game in favor of the former at the St. Cyprian Parish, Wednesday night, by the score, 33-26.

The addition of Charleston to the Harrisburg roster will make Colonel Strother's aggregation a formidable contender for the Mutual Association Pennant. The former western star is a hitter of the 400 type and an extremely fast man in the field and on the bases. Everything has it's place, but that doesn't relieve the man with a boil on his neck. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. JANUARY 19, 1924 Carlisle "5" Books Big Games On Friday, January 25, at the Lincoln Colonnade the Carlisle "Big 5" will stage the floor against one of the best clubs in Baltimore, the Forest Athletic Club. Much interest is being shown in this game because the visitors from Baltimore boast of the remarkable record of having lost but seven games in six years with 118 victories to their credit. They have won 17 consecutive victories this season. Among their victims are some of the fastest clubs in Maryland. Manager Conway will depend on Wheatland, the Davis brothers, Benny Hill, Mayo, Braddick, Wright and Barbour to turn the visitors back. A preliminary game between the Manchester and Community A. C. fives will start at 8:30 sharp. The big game will get under way about 9:30. ST. CYPRIAN JUNIORS CONTINUE TO WIN The Junior team of the St. Cyprian Institute continued its winning streak by trouncing the Ebenezer team on Wednesday night by the score of 32-12 The passing, guarding and shooting of C. Dorsey and Johnson were too much for the visitors. The entire five played well and their team work stand out. Johnson was the high point scorer for the Saints counting seven baskets, while C. Dorsey made four. Butler and Dorsey of the visitors stood out. The St. Cyprian Tigers are making a strong bid for the Y.M.C.A. league championship. Armstrong to Meet W. Va. Quint On Monday January 21, at 2:45 o'clock, the Dunbar High School team from Fairmont, W. Va., will be guests and opponents of the Tech quint at the Armstrong Gym. This is one of a series of games scheduled by the Blue and Orange of Tech, with four West Virginia High School teams, in exchange visits with those schools, all of which come here this year, while Armstrong will journey there next year. The lads from the middle West have quite an enviable reputation in that section as easy tossers, while their floor work is pronounced as unusual; they, of course, feel that it will be quite some task to defeat the home boys here, but from all reports they expect to send the news back home of a victory in the nation's capital. A reception will be tendered the visitors immediately after the game at the school, for which very select music has been provided. Armstrong's schedule of twenty-five games includes Dunbar, on Jan. 24, at Armstrong; Morgan College of Baltirome, at Armstrong on on Jan. 28; and the return game with Dunbar on Jan. 31, at the latter school; all games being listed for 3 o'clock p.m. Memories of four years past will creep into the minds of basketball fans when they will see the famous "Spartan Braves" of New York, now the "Renaissance Big Five" play Carlisle Basketers at the Colonnade on Wednesday January 30th. This will be the second time that this famous array of court stars have shown their wares to Capital fans. Four years ago at the Central Coliseum, this same team journeyed to Washington to meet the Carlisle quint of this city. The visitors emerged victorious in that memorable game by the score of 28-17 but on the following year the Washington boys took the floor against the same team and amidst the plaudits of 8,000 fans, administered a defeat to the proud Spartans on their own floor. This will be the 3rd meeting of these two clubs and needless to say the New Yorkers will endeavor to stamp out that defeat in New York . The Spartans will present the same array of stars including Dash, Slocum, Wallace, "Strangler" Frank Forbes and others. Aeroplanes will soon put Boston "only forty-five minutes from Broadway."

FOSTER, WHAT IS A BOOKING AGENCY? What's all this ballyhoo about the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs being a "booking agency"? Rube Foster through his only remaining mouthpiece—The Chicago Defender—is still making feeble attempts to poison the minds of fans against the junior circuit. Of course there are plenty of reasons. The western league has lost heavily in the player market. Each week brings reports of further migration. In fact if all reports are true it is hardly conceivable that even four first-class clubs will be in operation in the West this season. On the other hand how about Foster's own league. We understand that Mr. Foster has been collecting 5 per cent from every game played by members of the Negro National League thru all these years, even to games not even booked by him. Has a schedule committee for the western league ever been announced? As chief executive of the circuit, Foster has never trusted this duty to any person knowing for his own personal gain it would be best for him to arrange the schedule. Just why the president of the league should charge the other clubs a commission can possibly be explained by Rube himself. The writer regrets that the Negro National League and the Mutual Association are not working in perfect accord. In this column last year we made an appeal for harmony. We believe that had Foster been working for the best interests of his league members he would have devised a compromise long ago. The "egotistical Rube" has reaped a harvest thru the efforts of of other National League Clubs, still his club will suffer less from the eastern invasion. The other league members are the ones to suffer. We hope yet that the two leagues will come together. There is no question about the superior advantages of the junior league. And as long as this bitterness exists the west will bear the heaviest toll. ONLY ONE GRID SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED Only one Colored college football schedule for next season has been announced. Surely, tentative schedules from at least the C. I. A. A. teams could be listed. The delay we believe can be attributed more than anything else to the slowness in answering correspondence by those who have this matter in charge. However, most athletic directors have so many other duties in conjunction with their athletic work that very little time is allowed for schedule making. Local fans regret that Morehouse and Livingstone will not be seen here next fall, but will welcome the coming of St. Paul and West Virginia. St. Paul's rapid rise in the athletic world has made its football team a great drawing card. West Virginia's eleven has always been a big favorite with District grid lovers. The public likes the team that battles to the end. Howard has never found a West Virginia eleven an easy mark. THREE PUGILISTIC CHAMPIONS TWENTY YEARS AGO Twenty years ago three Race prize fighters were on the list of world champions. Joe Gans, lightweight, Joe Walcott, weltergeight, and George Dixon, featherweight were the champs of their divisions, and Jack Johnson destined to win the heavyweight crown headed the colored division. Contrast this group with the list of 1924 champions on which not a single Race fighter appears. Does it mean that our boxers of today fail to measure up to the standard? To our way of thinking there has been a falling off in the quality and quantity of Negro scrappers. The positions of Wills has undoubtedly turned many from the prize fighting game. Seeing Wills, the only logical candidate for a try at the crown, sidetracked for five years has been a source of warning. Yet in the face of all of this the Race presents contenders in practically all divisions. But nothing like as many as would be under conditions free of prejudice and discrimination. Only a few really stand out, nothing like the galaxy of Johnson, Jeanette, Young Peter Johnson, Langford and McVey who resigned at one period. New York, Jan. 15—An injury to his right hand sustained in training will keep Harry Wills, out of the ring for probably three weeks and force postponement of four bouts for which he is booked within that period. Wills, according to a physician who examined him, sustained a dislocation above the joint of the third finger. Paddy Mullins announced Wills would abandon all fighting until his hand has fully recovered. This will mean postponing fights scheduled in Detroit, January 21; Hartford, Conn., January 25, with Jack Taylor, Omaha, negro; and Newark, N. J., February 4, with Bartley Madden. Wills will go through with these bouts at later dates, if possible. Mullins added. COMMUNITY A. A. TROUNCES KAPPA "5" In one of the fastest and most exciting games witnessed by Y. M. C. A. basketball fans, the Community A. A. Team defeated the well-known Diamond "5" of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity on Wednesday, January 16, to the score of 29-18. The game was featured by its dazzling swiftness and commendible sportsmanship on the part of both teams, especially the losers. The game opened with speed and came to a close amid a series of baffling passes among the Community Speed Merchants.

HOWARD BOWS TO ARMSTRONG Again this year as last year the wonderful basketball team at Armstrong High School defeated the varsity team representing Howard University, 16 to 8. With the lightning passes made by the Armstrong boys during the entire first half the Howardites were unable to score a single point while the Blue and Orange representatives amassed a total of eleven. By inserting several changes during the seacond half Coach Burr's boys began to show better form scoring a total of 16 points to 8 for their opponents during this period. With one exception every player on the Howard team is a freshman and they are to be commended for their determination to place basketball back in the place of major sports on the hill. Bacharachs Get Lloyd It has been announced that Jno. Henry Lloyd, erstwhile manager of the Hilldale club, will likely be seen in a uniform of the Atlantic City Bacharachs when the Mutual Association season gets underway. Manager Jackson has been dickering with Lloyd for sometime. The latter is now in Cuba playing with the Havana team.

Some tell us that the church has not been able to keep abreast with the times, nor to run apace with the Sunday morning automobile or the Sunday night movies. Yet on the other hand, we notice that the one-time scholars of economics and sociology and popular science are now devoting their time to some study of religion. The magazines, the newspapers, the contro- Yet on the other hand, we notice that the one-time scholars of economics and sociology and popular science are now devoting their time to some study of religion. The magazines, the newspapers, the contro- I. L. PARKER verser of the modernist and fundamentalist, the religious campagin against evolution by William Jennings Bryan, the new interest in psychic phenomena, give evidence of this phenomenal interest in religion. From this we are able to find three classes of believers: modernist, fundamentalist, and tolerationist. The modernist advances to state that the church should make Christianity vital to life today. The fundamentalist campaigns to standardize belief in the "old-fashion faith" as the only true plan of salvation." The tolerationist proclaims himself already—even to efface himself if such would mean the spreading of the kingdom of self-respect—for business. If lifting up our hearts in meditation and prayer does not meet our need, an organization for unselfish social service may. The souls of the modernist and fundamentalist look alike to him. He is interested only in finding an influence most effecacious in the betterment of conditions in their daily lives. A group of modernist ministers has made public the reply to the General Assembly of the Presbyterians. It is declared that "all synods or councils since the apostles' times whether general or particular, may err, and may have erred, therefore they are not to be made the rule of faith or practice but to be used as a help in both." From this it can be seen that the modernist ministers are opposed to the attempt to elevate doctrinal statements "to the position of tests for ordination or for good standing in our church," but maintain that every one has the right to read and construe his Bible for himself. There's the rub. The question of personal interpretation may split the church, shatter its denominational tradition, its ancient structure. What is desired most is that there may issue out of the discussion a reasonable spirit upon both sides that will stir them to action for the common good of mankind. * * * * Rollin Lynde Hartt, in his "The Man Himself" (Doubleday, Page and Co.), speaks as a modernist. Jesus never changed water into wine, nor is there any supernaturalism in the church—at least none that works miracles. No writer, I dare say, has stripped the figure of Jesus Christ more clenl of its vestments of legend than does Mr. Hartt. Had he not accredited Him with what he believes to be the great ideals of history—the fatherhood of God and the rebirth of mankind in righteousness—there would have been but a bizarre figure left. It is a figure fanatically possessed with a Messianic delusion, a theo-megalomaniac, preaching hells of briststone and fire that never existed. The great trouble, Mr. Hartt explains, is, we read the Bible piecemeal, and "the isolated passages invites endless misinterpretation". We should read it from cover to cover as we would a novel, and then examine our findings. This Mr. Hartt did. He found that Jesus believed that the world would soon end, that the stars would fall, and that He Himself would descend on a cloud to judge the quick and the dead; that He even predicted the date, which was to be during the lifetime of some of those then living. This did not happen, and, as he opines, shows that Jesus was not only Divine, but unbelievably superstitious. Jesus knew nothing of sociology. He made no protest against slavery nor left any "comment to show that it ever interested Him." Nor was He a pacifist. "He never suggested that war was preventable.....such things must needs come to pass". Isaiah was the supreme and first, real Prince of Peace, says Mr. Hartt. Jesus was like the rest of the Jews in his disdain for women. "In the churching of women the Nazarene saw womanhood dishonored by a custom at once ignoble and absurd. He never denounced that custom." He was a "wine-bibber", for "He drank wine with His pupils" and promised to drink it with them in the Messianic GOSH JIM, WHAT WILL THESE SCIENCE YAPS BE IDOIN' NEXT?

Henry Nelson, senior student was elected chairman of the committee for preparation for the affair. Mr. Harold Haynes in charge of the Armstrong Radio Club is making quite a success. Meetings are held every Wednesday evening in the Electrical Laboratory. The Spanish Department of the Armstrong High School under the direction of Miss Helen Crawford and Messrs. Henry Bailey and Horace Wallace conducted a Spanish Assembly on Thursday, Jan. 10. Everything spoken was in Spanish. Pupils from the various classes participated in the affair. Miss Lillian Burke, librarian of the school sang "La Paloma" in Spanish. Remarks, by the principal Captain Arthur C. Newman ended the assembly. Eureka Lodge, No. 4562 G. U. O. of O.

Paul, Mr. Hartt admits, had certain good qualities, but was a very bad theologian—"few have been worse." James is extolled because of his insistence that faith without works counts for naught. Jesus did not die to save mankind, but to fulfil the prophesies on which He based His claim to Messiahship. "The profoundly, the unspeakably tragic thing about His death, and the thing every one overlooks, was its futility." There is no Diety, no miracle-working power. left in the Jesus of wich Mr. Hartt writes. He is a figure recreated solely on the basis of reason. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 Heart to Heart Talks HEALTH—SOCIOLOGY— ECONOMICS By the School of Public Health, Howard University Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. Director THE TOLL OF ILICIT LIQUOR One of the gravest problems faced today in the matter of public health, is the manufacture and drinking of "hootch" or "bootleg" liquor. Too much publicity cannot possibly be given to the subject nor can too much energy he exerted toward putting down this dealing in death. The number of deaths during the last year has been appalling, and there seems no let up in the nefarious practice of issuing to the public bottled death. In one city alone, Philadelphia, there were 875 deaths directly traceable to rum. The Coroner of that city states, "Philadelphia has had more deaths from poison rum during the last twelve months than any other city in the country, New York included." Aside from the cases which resulted fatally, the hospital of all the cities record the increasing per centage of alcoholism which they are called upon to treat. It is not that more liquor is being drunk by people than in pre-Volstead days, but that a far more dangerous product is being used which produces a more serious after effect. Every manufacturer of illicit liquor knows himself to be a law breaker, but it seems inconceivable that he recognizes himself as a muderer also. Can it be that in his mad rush for gold he has grown callous and conscienceless hesitating not even to muder his customers? The result of this traffic measured in terms of sickness, blindness, and death are too hastily to have a place in modern civilization. As a rule those engaged in illicit manufacture know absolutely nothing about chemistry and the poisonous products derived from faulty and ignorant distillation. Everyone has his own formula and his is best. aciougn dfti, wtfi wgtfiltkfegtgeffifl The various poisons entering into the average bootleg liquor in both small and large amounts—mostly large—are Acetic Acid, Acetaldehyde, Methanol, Furfur, Esters, Fusel Oil, and Salts of Zinc and Copper. Even if death does not follow the use of such poisonous liquor, the amount of agony caused by violent gastritis, blindness, acute mania, arterio sclerosis, heart, lung, and kidney affections, should be enough to warm any sane person from ever drinking illicit liquor. Anyone who has the slightest regard for his health, his life, or the well being of those depending upon him, should have sense and stamina enough to obstain. At the present moment all liquor offered for sale in America except at first class drug stores is dangerous. Your own formula is dangerous and so is that of your neighbor, so beware in the matter of extending and accepting a transient hospitality which has in it certain illness and possible death. The present day liquor situation is the most serious problem this nation is facing, but no amount of law can control the foolish acts of a more foolish people. All that has been done to build up our public health standards threatens to be washed away by the ever increasing and continuous flow of "mooishine" liquor. The present generation is undermining its health and passing the products of a wasted body and soul on to their children of the next generation. This is a serious matter and must have serious treatment, yet the solution to it all lies in the individual determination of each and all of us to wave aside the poison which too often tempts. When there is no demand for illicit liquor its manufacture will cease. How much more sickness and how many more horrible deaths must we witness before we are convinced that we cannot drink poison and remain healthy to enjoy the best that a long happy life offers? What the Negro has gained in the matter of health and social standards, he stands to lose if he becomes marked as a manufacturer and patron of "moonshine" liquor. Unquestionably we have already gone too far in both directions, but let us together rise up, meet the situation as we have so often met others, and again save ourselves from an ignomity which today is all too threatening to be regarded with neglect and indifference. GRAVES' CAFE BOASTS OF ABILITY TO SERVE cated near the Government Printing Office and the Union Station, Mr. Graves gets a class of business that demands quick service and it is on this one point that he gets a large part of his trade. Joseph S. Graves has been in the cafe business in Washington for nearly forty years. His service features hot bread, morning and evenings, and special home-made desserts. He has a special bakery department that turns out the hot bread as fast as the demand is made for it. Graves Cafe is ready at all times to serve anything from a sandwich to a banquet. Mr. Graves is a very affable gentleman and is easy to approach. He is active in the management of his business; he works on an average of fifteen hours a day.

Jan. 17,—Dr. Joseph Dupuy Eggleston, president of Hampden-Sidney College since 1919, who was State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Virginia, 1906 to 1913, according to an announcement by Principal J. E. Gregg, will deliver the Founder's Day address in Memorial Church, Hampton Institute, Sunday morning, January 27. President Eggleston will review the life and work of the late Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, who succeeded Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong as principal in 1893 and remained as Hampton's principal until his death in August, 1917. General Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868, has been honored year by year at the Founder's Day services. This year special attention will be directed to Doctor Frissell, "The Builder," as he has been characterized by Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Howard. President Eggleston served side by side with Doctor Frissell and a large company of distinguished men and women of Virginia in campaigning for better educational opportunities for all the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Between Doctor Frissell and President Eggleston there was a warm personal friendship. No man in the South is better qualified to speak of Doctor Frissell and his contribution to the educational progress of Virgina and the South than President Eggleston. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y. W. C. A.

PRINTING CO. 918-20-22 U STREET, N.W. New Insurance Company Formed Newark, N, J.-The most important commercial enterprise ever attempted by Negroes in New Jersey has just been realized in the form of the New Jersey Life Insurance Company. For many years, men who have a vision of things have realized that New Jersey afforded a profitable field for industri and commercial undertakings, but none of them, apparently, have had the temerity to undertake the founding of such enterprises. With the growth in recent years of New Jersey's colored population, the need of a strong Straight Life Insurance Company has become more and more evident. While there are a few companies operated by the other race that will take Negro risks, none of them, however, are willing to give Negroes employment. It was with the two fold purpose, therefore, of building up a strong commercial enterprise, and affording steady employment for young men and women that a group of New Jersey's most representative men organized the New Jersey Life Insurance Company. This company has a capitalization of $150,000.00, and within a short while the $100,000.00 which is required by the State for insurance companies to operate, will be deposited, and the company will be ready for business. The Organization Committee is composed of: President Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, former member of the Legislature of New Jersey; Vice President, Dr. J. E. Lee of Newark, a successful practicing dentist; Attorney W. P. Allen, Newark, a successful practicing lawyer; W. H. Foster, Montclair, successful and practical insurance broker; Dr. N. T. Cotton, Paterson, a well known and successful physician; Rev. H. B. Taylor, Paterson, a progressive Presbyterian minister; John M. Stoute, Newark, owner and operator of a large printing establishment; Dr. George E. Cannon, Jersey City, a well known physician and public worker; W.H. Depaur, Summit, a large real estate broker and employment operator; J. A. Douglas, Jersey City, an insurance broker' of large and practical experience; George E. Bates, Newark Grand Secretary of the Elks; Rev J. H. Hughes, Orange, Pastor of Oakwood Ave., Baptist Church; Troy Gibson, New York City, a successful business man; Dr. J. R. Stroud Jersey City, a successful physician; Dr. C. S. Donnell, Newark, proprietor of the Metropolitan Drug Store, R. W Stewart, Newark, General Manager Home Benefit Association. The active direction of this enterprise will be under the supervision of PAGE FIVE Vatson ED HER SHE J. W. WATSON --- R. W. Stewart, who has had a practical insurance career of many years. He began his insurance work with the Pacific Mutual Insurance Company of Montana, being the only Negro in the employ of this company. While with it he built up a large agency force for the company. Hearing of his success, the National Benefit Associatin of Washington, D. C. sought his services, and for many years he was an assistant general field agent for this well known company. After severing his connection with the National, he joined forces with several prominent Newark men and formed the Home Benefit Association, which is one of the best known and most reputable sick benefit associations operated in New Jersey. This company owns its own building at 277-279 Bank Street, Newark, N. J. The New Jersey Life Insurance Company has leased quarters at 277 Bank Street, where it will conduct its business. Dr. J. U. King at Bethel Literary The Bethel Literary Society of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church will be addressed by Dr. J. U. King, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, Tuesday, January 22nd, at Metropolitan A. M. E.

D. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. F. MORRIS MURRAY .....President WILLIAM O. WALKER .....Managing Editor J. A. G. LuVALLE .....City Editor Subscription Rate: One Year, $2.50; Six Months, $1.25; Delivered by Carrier, 20c a month. For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request At one time it appeared that there would be a few of the colored editors who would take a definite stand for their civil rights and make their papers progressively militant for the race. The past few weeks are noticeable because of a sudden falling away from this policy by some of the editors which has been reflected in the news articles in their papers as well as in their editorials. The Whip of Chicago, has been looked upon as one of the most militant papers of the race. It has consistently waged a strenuous fight against the dives and the graft in connection therewith, in the second ward of Chicago. This is the ward in which the most of the Colored people of the city live. The Whip has censured and condemned the Republican party for its perfidy toward the Negro. It has even printed strong editorials against the present administration and was a factor in the election of Mayor Dever, a Democrat in Chicago, against Hale Thompson. However, we notice that since the death of the late Phil H. Brown, who held a political appointment under the Labor Department, that Editor Bibb, of The Whip, seems to have been listening to a political bee buzzing in his bonnet and the editorials of the once militant Whip, read thusly: President Coolidge seems to be willing to help the black people and when the confusion of political intrigue is straightened out we believe that he will show us more consideration than his predecessor did. He has shown a willingness to recognize us already. While no man knows what is in the heart of his brother, we do not believe that hatred and prejudice for his fellow man rankles in the heart of Mr. Coolidge. We are doubtful of Mr. Hiram Johnson. This is a complete surrender from the position of The Whip of some months ago, when it printed the editorial entitled, "Beware of the Ides of March." The former militancy of Editor Bibb, may be accurately gauged from a few extracts from his editorials. On October 14, 1922, he said: From the most recent developments in the p conclusion must fasten itself in the minds of all that is that the Republican party is no longer "the have been disappointed by the policies of the Hinton and we have learned much from the lesson, that in national politics we must adopt new plant tactics. On November 4, 1922, the following paragraph and editorial of The Whip: We know that we are not recognized in this we are maltreated, hated and reviled. We know can party has cut us to the quick of our aching h We know that stalwart, whole souled friends of I are dead and gone. We find ourselves lynched States and the Republican party condoning the tivity. We known that the Republican party no one considers us a burden. What few jobs we are g without stint, but as political camouflage. What what is the remedy ? From the most recent developments in the political world, one conclusion must fasten itself in the minds of all black people, and that is that the Republican party is no longer "the ship for us." We have been disappointed by the policies of the Harding Administration and we have learned much from the lesson. We have learned that in national politics we must adopt new plans and use different tactics. On November 4, 1922, the following paragraph appeared in the leading editorial of The Whip: We know that we are not recognized in this nation and that we are maltreated, hated and reviled. We know that the Republican party has cut us to the quick of our aching hearts in late years. We know that stalwart, whole souled friends of Republican adoption are dead and gone. We find ourselves lynched anywhere in these States and the Republican party condoning these crimes by inactivity. We known that the Republican party no longer loves us, but considers us a burden. What few jobs we are given are not given without stint, but as political camouflage. What is wrong? And what is the remedy? What is the object of Editor Bibb's "camouflage?" How can the Editor of The Whip harmonize those present ones. On March 31st, 1923 there appeared this paragit The Whip: The Black People in Chicago could do not election than help elect Judge Dever and at the ister a sorely needed rebuke to the Republicans How can the Editor of The Whip harmonize those statements with his present ones. On March 31st, 1923 there appeared this paragraph in an editorial of The Whip: The Black People in Chicago could do nothing better in this election than help elect Judge Dever and at the same time administer a sorely needed rebuke to the Republicans. Vote for Judge Dever. On another, occasion, Oct. 8, 1921, we saw this under Over fifty of the black people's newspaper ideas of President Harding.

On another, occasion, Oct. 8, 1921, we saw this under The Whip's lash: Over fifty of the black people's newspaper have endorsed the ideas of President Harding. Over fifty newspapers have accepted a dictum which makes them forever inferior and distinct from other peoples of the world. The black man's press adopting such reactionary jelly-backed doctrines have proved to the satisfaction of the world that the whole race needs an intellectual awakening. President Coolidge accepted and is carrying out President Harding's policies, which have been the Republican party policies, and now editor Bibb reverses himself and accepts them, also. Not since freedom has the race been in such dire need of a progressive consistent and militant press as it now finds itself. Coming into the realization of the benefits, possibilities and power of a fully aroused racial consciousness, a progressive press is essential for the dissemination of courageous, instructive and necessary information and opinions. There is a growing demand for the courageous and upstanding racial newspapers, with a definite policy observed in every issue of th paper. So many Negro editors have been "honor" hungry to the extent that they felt it was more "honorable" to seek a peanut government job from a hypocritical Republican administration, than to outline a definite, militant policy for the benefit of the race. When personal aggrandizement supplants racial betterment, it becomes noticeable at once by the changed policy of the paper "And this shall be a sign unto you." CLEAN OUT THE ALLEYS The recent inspection of some of the alleys of W to the front the fact that the alley situation is not the white-washing last year by the District Comm close them. Congress passed a law during the war to close the to inhabitants, by the 30th of June, 1923. But the way to get around the law and left the crime-infest The recent inspection of some of the alleys of Washington has brought to the front the fact that the alley situation is not settled, notwithstanding the white-washing last year by the District Commissioners of the law to close them. Congress passed a law during the war to close the alleys of Washington to inhabitants, by the 30th of June, 1923. But the Commissioners found a way to get around the law and left the crime-infested, disease-breeding alleys still inhabited. Practically all of the inhabitants of the alleys of this city are colored. The environment of children effect their future lives. Hence in order to make of the thousands of children now being reared in these alleys, good, Christian, loyal citizens, a good home is necessary. To remove these people from these alleys will undoubtedly change their environment and give the children a brighter view of life. Is it possible that because the inhabitants are colored, the Commissioners are not interested in their better home life? Is the revenue from the property as rents from these ramshackle alleys homes more important than human rights? Every child is entitled to a good, wholesome, inviting home. That characterization can not be placed upon all of the alley dwellings. The one thing that will most effectively produce among the colored people of this city an economic advancement, decrease of crime, and elimination of tuberculosis, and inspire to better citizenship, is the cleaning out of the alleys by forcing all inhabitants to move into better, brighter and more healthful homes. After an inspection trip through the alleys, representative H. L. Rathbone of Illinois said: "I saw more cats on that trip than I ever saw before in my life. There were dead rats, tin cans, brickbats, refuse of all sorts. The little shanties were lined up on both sides of these alleys, not more than twenty feet wide. We found some tenements which were very bad. It is an awful situation." The Commissioners are reported as saying that they can not force the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams NOTED VIOLINIST PRESENTS CHARMING PROGRAM TO DUN-BAR STUDENTS Clarence Cameron White, nationally known composer and violinist of Oberlin, Oho, appeared in a charming violin recital at Dunbar High School last Monday, January 14th, 1924 at 2 o'clock p.m. to the delight of the vast student body and faculty assembled in the main auditorium. His recital tour commenced the second of October 1923 and since then he has been constantly engaged in other cities. After leaving this city last Tuesday he appeared that evening at Coatesville, Pa., leaving there for the A. B. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE School at Chaney, Pa., then on to Rochester, N. Y. concluding his tour and then returning home. He leaves Oberlin again on March 1st for California and the far west on another recital tour returning home June 1st. Mr. White is favorably known to music lovers in this section of the country having appeared in several splendid recitals here. He has gained a smart reputation as violin composer, several noted white artists having used successfully some of his compositions. Mr. White also is the president of the National Association of Negro Musicians and his administration is meeting with marked success according to reports. The Dunbar program was as follows: “(a) Gypsy Song, S. Coleridge Taylor; (b) Scherzo, Van Goens. (a) Romance, Palmgren; (b) Orientale Cui; (c) Bereouse, Juon; (d) Pizzicato, Thome. Prize Song, Wagner-Wilhelmj. (a) Negro Chant; (b) Valse Coquette; (c) On The Bayou; (d) Negro Dance, by Clarence Cameron White, composer. Henry Lee Grant at the Piano. SENIOR ARMSTRONG STUDENTS IN MUSICAL PROGRAM Last week the Spanish faculty of the language department of Armstrong High School presented a Senior students program in Spanish. The musical selections in Spanish were as follows: "La Paloma" was artistically rendered by Miss Lillian T. Burk; "P'ajara Pinat" and "San Serenin", vocal by Miss Mary McFadden; Rudolph Eglin played a selection of "Pepita's" on the violin; "El Corvenir de Espana" was rendered by Lillian Burgess; "La Golondrina" was sung by Miss Beatrice Suydam Mr. Edward R. Jaymes has assumed the directorship of the Mandolin Orchestra commencing January 15. Rehearsals are still being held weekly at the Columbia Conservatory of Music, 1911 Ninth Street, Northwest, but the rehearsal day has been changed from Saturday to Wednesday evenings at 7:30 o'clock. The orchestra training is free to all who desire to join. Mr. Jaymes is thoroughly conversant with the work and wishes to have the class continue its auspicious beginning. Please meet with him promptly. people to clean up their back yards. Then there is but one thing left and that is clean out the tenants of the alleys. We will never be able to have "The City Beautiful" that we read so much about that is being planned for Washington, as the Capital of the Nation, unless we clean out the alleys. FLIPPER FIGHTS FOR REINSTATEMENT The fight of Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper for reinstatement in the United States Army was again echoed last Monday, January 14, on the floor of the United States Senate when Senator Lodge of Massachusetts introduced a bill intended to place Flipper back in the Army. The bill that was introduced by Senator Lodge is as follows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is hereby authorized to set aside, annul, or expunge the proceedings of a court-martial, as promulgated in general court-martial orders, numbered 39, Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant General's office, Washington, June 17, 1882, to take effect June 30, 1882, and to restore Second Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper, Tenth Regiment of Calvary, United States Army, to the grade, rank, and status in said arm of the service to which he would have attained had he remained continuously in the service from the date of his dis- and the conclusion of the program all of the members of the Spanish classes sang "Cancion de la Nave dad. The Spanish department deserves nothing but praise in this commendable efforts as it tends to broaden musical vision. As other races, we should be able to converse, sing and play the language of other races and nations in order to better understand the world of multitudinous diversities and characteristics. Language lends an atmosphere of dignity and refinement to a personality and fits one for larger service to his fellowman of whatever hue or kind. MRS, FRANCIS—A NOTABLE PERSONALITY Once again we find occasion to praise the efforts of a character well worthy of mention in the person of Mrs. Milton A. Francis, whose large and varied musical activities has served to stimulate interest among music lovers through the medium of the "Artists' Course Series" which has just closed its initial season successfully. Mrs. Francis served faithfully as secretary to the committee composed of some of the leading musicians and citizens (excusing the writer please) and while each served faithfully and assiduously as such still, it is nothing more than fair to give the only lady member of the group the bouquet of flowers for such yeoman service in and out of season as few of us could possibly have done. We saw her always at work, never at play. With her it was business, nothing but business, morning, noon and night. We are in a position most of the time to witness much of her personal efforts and to our surprise found in her energy of almost amazing proportions that easily dumb-founded the imagination. Say what you please about her, she possesses one of the keenest faculties for putting over "big things" in all Washington. True, there may be and are no doubt, other local women just as competent to do big things but to our mind for finese, courage and dash, personality intermingled with congeniality, intuitiveness to do the right thing at the right time, Mrs. Milton A. Francis but has very few if any peers hereabouts. What Mrs. Lawrence Townsend (and the writer certainly knows a few really prominent white music leaders in Washington personally) is doing among the white citizens, Mrs. Francis is doing among the colored. Her wholehearted interest, not reflecting upon the other members of the committee, manifested in the musical series for the advancement of music among our people was unselfish and untiring and much of the credit for its success belong to her, if our associates on the committee will allow the compliment to our only lady member to go unchallenged, as they should. We repeat that the Mrs. Milton A Francis possesses a notable personality and a character well worthy of praise for her civic prize. NEW MANDOLIN DIRECTOR Mr. Edward R. Jaymes has assumed the directorship of the Mandolin Orchestra commencing January 15. Rehearsals are still being held weekly at the Columbia Conservatory of Music, 1911 Ninth Street, Northwest, but the rehearsal day has been changed from Saturday to Wednesday evenings at 7:30 o'clock. The orchestra-training is free to all who desire to join. Mr. Jaymes is thoroughly conversant with the work and wishes to have the class continue its auspicious beginning. Please meet with him promptly. missal therefrom by said order until the date of the approval of this Act, to all intents and purposes as if he had never been dismissed, and that he then be placed on the retired list of the Army." The fight of Lieutenant Flipper for reinstatement has been kept up since June 30, 1882. He is a graduate of West Point and was one of the first Negro officers in the United States Army. He was accused of embezzling Government funds and was later discharged because of this. Mr. Flipper was closely connected with Ex-Senator Falls of New Mexico, and is one of the best speakers of the Spanish language in America. On several occasions he accompanied a United States commission to Spanish countries as interpreter. A similar bill was introduced in the 67th Congress, but it was never reported out of the committee. When Mr. Falls was made Secretary of the Interior he brought Mr. Flipper to Washington with him. Since Mr. Falls' retirement, Mr. Flipper has returned to his New Mexico ranch. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Y. M.

Ellsworth Kell's First Letter Dear Editor: I have decided at last to become a member of the "Children's Page." I get the Tribune every Saturday and Sunday from the nearby drug store. I get the Tribune for two reasons, first, for the pride it makes me feel in my race, and second, for the "Children's Page." I am in the 7-A grade at Daniel A. Payne School. Miss A. M. Mason is my teacher. I am going to write often in the future. I wish you, dear editor, and the Tribunites good luck through the year. I live at 1221 Walter Street, S.E. Lucille Writes Again Dear Editor: I have been a reader of the "Children's Page" for quite awhile and I find pleasure in reading the different letters and poems that are sent in. Since seeing my own letter published recently I have become more interested than ever before. I will try to send in something of real interest very soon. I live at 326 Bryant Street, Northwest. A.—In Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan whom Jupiter condemned to bear the vault of heaven, for warring against Zeus. Perseus showed Atlas the head of Medusa, which had the power of turning all who looked at it (the Medusa head) to stone. Atlas was thus turned into stone, some stories saying that he was turned into a mountain. The name atlas is given to a collection of maps and charts said to have been first used by the geographer Mercator because a figure of Atlas bearing the globe appeared on the title-page. PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" "The sale of a noted French private library in 1913 caused much talk, because among the books disposed of were two which were bound in woman's skin. That they were highly paid foroes without saying. The library was founded by one M. Chevany, who had a fine nose for spicy specialties. The title of one of the books was (translated) 'The Good that Has Been Told about Woman,' and here the inscription, 'Bound in woman's skin, testified to by three witnesses.' The other, a copy of Anacreon's Poems printed on Chinese paper, was announced as 'Bound in the skin of a negrass.'" Brave Negroes? The Negro played a most important part in the Spanish-American war. He was the first to move from the West; first at Camp Thomas; Chickamauga Park, Georgia; first in the jungle of Cuba; among the first killed in battle; first in the blockhouse at El Caney, and nearest to the enemy when he surrendered. Run along, run along! Sing a song, sing a song! Be jolly, gay and free. Run a mile, back a mile! Keep a smile, always smile! Stay jolly, gay and free. --- Justice Tempered with too much Mercy becomes Injustice.
