Missourian Ordered To Washington Faces Dismissal From Service Public Scandal May Result From Row at Vets' Hospital First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 34 MOTOM Missouri Public Scan Result From at Vets' 1 American Legion Demands Congressional Inquiry into Whole Matter Suffering in the stench and filth which they themselves created, Major R. R. Moton, erstwhile discredited leader and principal at Tuskegee Institute and Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, deposed special assistant in the Veterans Bureau, are again in the eyes of the public relative to the Hospital built by the Government at Tuskegee. According to the latest report from Alabama, all is not well at the Government's two million dollar "white elephant." Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, who left the Veterans Bureau for a position at the hospital in Tuskegee, according to unconfirmed reports, has been ordered to Washington, where, it is reported, the sad news of his dismissal from the service will be broken to him. Dr. Crossland is supposed to have left Tuskegee last Saturday, but he could not be located for an interview up to Friday, although he is in the city. Dr. Crossland's leaving can possibly be considered a victory for Major Moton; for the Doctor and the Major have not been such good neighbors since the doctor was sent to Tuskegee. According to a New York Age news item, a telegram which was sent by Dr. Moton, throws some light on the situation. The telegram, which came into the possession of The Age, is as follows: Developments today make it imperative that this man be ordered from here at once, otherwise there will be more serious trouble than anything yet had. This is due to developments today. Has done some things which might cause his immediate arrest. Even more serious complications may arise if he is not removed. Urge this for me. (Signed) R. R. Moton. According to a rumor in Washington, Crossland's ambition to become executive head of the hospital, cluttered up the appointment of a Negro commanding officer and held up a full Negro personnel. Last summer when the fight was being waged for the Negro personnel, Crossland agreed in a letter to the Director to be willing to go to Tuskegee with "some good white men" and thus settle the whole matter. He claimed that if he was sent there, he could quiet the demand for a complete Negro personnel. He was finally sent to take a minor position in the hospital over the protest of the National Medical Association. He became very impatient and kept the mails to Washington hot with his diatribe. That all was not well with the Doctor (who came into fame through sensational charges made by his wife, No. 3, that he had a "Baby Doll" in Chicago) is proved by the following letter to Senator Spencer, which was also published in The Age. Box 253, Tuskegee Institute Ala. January 2, 1924. I came down here to be Executive Officer. A white man from Georgia is holding my place.

Irwin, representing the Disabled Veterans of the World War, at a public hearing of the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, stated that white and colored ex-service men are placed in the same wards and in adjoining beds at Walter Reed Hospital located in the District of Columbia. Bursting forth like someone had just informed them that the world was coming to an end, the Congressmen affected with Negrophobia immediately began foaming at the mouth. Just to think that Negro soldiers, maimed and injured in a war for the protection of human rights, were being treated like human beings in a Government Hospital. Why, just the thoughts of such a thing threw many into fits. No sooner had this statement been made than Congressman Wolf of the 13th District, Missouri, rushed into the House and introduced the following resolution: "Whereas Mr. Frank D. Irwin, representing the Disabled Veterans of the World War, at a public hearing today of House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, stated that white and colored service men are placed in the same wards and in adjoining beds at Walter Reed Hospital: Therefore be it "Resolved, That an investigating committee of five Members of the House, consisting of three Republicans and two Democrats, be appointed and authorized and directed to immediately investigate conditions in this respect existing at said hospital." That the Disabled American Veterans of the World War were the sponsors for this fanatical rush to race prejudice has aroused every Negro soldier and the two American Legion posts here immediately called members together for the purpose of protesting against the making of any further inroads upon the rights of the Negro soldier. Walter Reed Hospital recently passed under the control of the Veterans Bureau of which General Hings is director. As soon as this was done, the jim crow policy of the Veterans Bureau began to manifest itself. If the Negroes are not treated in the same wards as the whites and live in the same sections, it will mean that all Negro soldiers who must have hospital treatment will be forced to go to the hospital at Tuskegee; for complete separate quarters will mean that more money will have to be ap- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 PLAN LABORATORY OF HUMAN BEINGS Beloit, Wis., Jan. 19—A proposal to make Beloit college an institution for bringing together representatives of all the races of the world in an attempt to effect racial understanding which would make for world peace has been made to members of the board of college trustees by Dr. George L. Collie, dean of the school and widely known anthropologist. The plan is feasible, Dr. Collie asserts. It would bring selected students here from all the races and subdivisions of the races. Briefly, it would constitute an ethnological laboratory comprising an unusual student personnel, as follows: American students, 40 per cent; Europeans, 20 per cent; Asiatics, 20 per cent; South Americans, 10 per cent, and Africans, 10 per cent. GROUND BROKEN FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL BLDG. GROUND BROKEN FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL BLDG. Washington Man Enjoys Honor of Turning First Dirt Ridge, St. Mary County, Md., January 25—Ground was broken for the main building of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute here today which will be erected during the spring and summer. Simple exercises were held with a large gathering of men and women both white and colored from St. Mary's County and elsewhere. The exact site was determined upon by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, Admiral William S. Benson, chairman. The services consisted of prayer by Rev. John La Farge; S.J., of Ridge Md.; a member of the Board of Trustees, and an address by Admiral Benson. The first sod was turned by Edward Colbert, an elderly colored man of the District of Columbia, who made the first cash contribution to the building fund, a gift of $100. There were present, representing the Board of Trustees, William Aumen, of Baltimore; J. Allan Coad, of Leonardtown, amember of the Maryland House of Delegates; Lawrence P. Williams, of Wynne, Treasurer of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute and a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, and A. C. Monahan, Secretary of the Board of Trustees. Asks Comfort Station For U Street The District Commissioners were presented a petition signed by several hundred citizens of the northwest section, asking them to place a public comfort station at the intersection of Vermont Avenue, Tenth and U Streets. The petition pointed out the necessity of such an improvement in this rapidly growing section and cited the nuisance the merchants in this vicinity put up with. propriated for the construction of them and this is not likely to be done with the people demanding the curbing of government expenditures. Dr. Ward May Head Tuskegee Hospital, Is Now At Mt. Alto Maj. Joseph H. Ward, of Indianapolis, Ind., has been on duty at Mt. Alto Hospital for the past ten days, observing the administrative and professional work of Veterans' Hospitals. Dr. Ward has been appointed to the position of "Chief of Surgical Service" for the Veterans' Hospital, Number 91, at Tuskegee, Ala. After his observations here, Dr. Ward is to visit other Veterans' Hospitals previous to his reporting at Tuskegee. Dr. Ward was commissioned Major during the World War and served with the 325th Signal Battalion for more than a year in France. He also served in the Base Hospital, Number 49, at Allerey France. Federal Life Explains Value of Insurance When life insurance first took form it was but a prophecy of the day when man's outlook would be worldwide; it was but the expression of an idea peaceful, unselfish and wise, yet a warrior with a two-edged sword. From the beginning, this beneficent idea fought as it prophesied. It preached the doctrine of human fraternity, and at the same time, attacked the prejudices, vices and provincialisms that scatter and embitter men and retard progress. But life insurance has now passed out of that portion of its history in which it struggled and pleaded. Its doctrine that, in spite of race and religious hatred, of color, physical or social barriers, man has no natural reason to hate his fellowman, but, on the contrary, has a community interest with all men, has hewn its way into the hearts of men; and today, life insurance is the very spirit of progress. Its methods are masterful. It learns as it teaches and mingles with all classes. It has called into use the best organizing ability, the broadest courage, the best business methods. It has taught men how to weld into a mighty power not only the strength of generations past, but the strength of individuals and the influence of millions unborn. The same law that makes men better when they insure their lives, makes life insurance the more mighty with the lapse of the ages. And life insurance is here to stay. The most impressive thing in the world of today is the vast strength of the forces that are ready to make history. Among all the forces that enter into this arena of life there is no moral force that can compare with life insurance. No progressive force can menace it. No human advance can bring about its destruction. In the ruthless struggle for the survival of the fittest, civic organizations that, in other days, led the world to a higher level will in turn be crushed and destroyed, because new forces and new and better men demand a better State and better government. Religions will clash, and the old war be- (Continued on page 5) Maj. Ward is the house guest of Dr. Creed W. Childs, of 1911 L Street, Northwest, while in the city. When seen Thursday, by a representative of this paper, he said that he was not in a position to give out any statement regarding his definite work at Tuskegee nor just when he would arrive there. He has the personality of a man capable of handling men. He is quiet, positive and measures well his utterances. While the Major would not say that he was destined for the commanding position at the U. S. Hospital, Number 91, the fact that he is studying "the administrative and professional" divisions of U. S. Veterans Hospitals is significant. COMMISSION TO STUDY NEGRO IS PLAN OF N.Y. DEM. Would Have Permanent Body of Nine to Report to Congress Among the bills turned out by the Congressional Mill during the past week was one for the creation of a commission on the racial question, introduced by Representative Emanuel Celler, of the Tenth District, Brooklyn, N.Y. The bill provides for the creation of a permanent committee of nine to study the race problem and report to Congress each year. The bill as introduced by Mr. Celler was as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of United States of America in Congress assembled, That a commission of nine persons, citizens of the United States, be, and is hereby, created to be known and designated as the Commission on the Racial Question in the United States of America. The commission shall be composed of three white men from the South, three white men from the North, and three colored men. Sec. 2. That said commission shall be appointed by the President of the United States and shall be divided into three groups of three men in each, two white and one colored; that the term of the first group shall be for one year, the second group for two years, and the third group, for three years. See. 3. That the commission shall have authority to inquire into and thoroughly investigate the conditions surrounding the colored people in the United States, ascertain, if possible, the cause of the unrest among them, and, if there be racial friction, the cause of the same, and to suggest such remedies as they may deem best calculated to relieve the situation and to bring about harmonious relations between white and colored Americans. They shall have power to send for persons and papers, administer oaths and affirmations, employ experts, and, when necessary, travel from place to place in order to ascertain the true conditions affecting the interests of Office: 920 U St., N.W. Retrospect Of Business Here Shows Progress Retrospect Of Business Here Shows Progress Arthur W. Mitchell, who has been elected for the third time president of the Mutual Housing Company, in speaking of Negro Business is optimistic of the future of his company and of Negro business in general in the city of Washington, according to an interview with him this week. Mr. Mitchell said to a representative of the Tribune, that, "The Achieve- ment of the Negro in business in the District of Columbia for the last four years has been most remarkable." He speaks particularly of the success of the Mutual Housing Company which was organized in September 1920, with himself and Thomas Frazier as founders and first stockholders, starting with less than five hundred dollars and after three years work the stockholders of the company numbering more than two hundred fifty with a paid in capital of thirty thousand dollars, owning property worth one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars with thirty-five thousand dollars indebtedness. When asked how he accounted for this marvellous degree of success he took occasion to pay John W. Lewis, the matchless Negro business pioneer of the District a very high tribute. Mr. Mitchell said that, "The Mutual Housing Company was organized at the period when John Lewis was preaching, from every house top, the necessity of Negroes supporting Negro businesses, and that the Mutual Housing Company, like all other businesses started in the District of Columbia during the last five or six years, was a direct beneficiary of the splendid work of Mr. Lewis. "While John Lewis did not contribute money directly to the Mutual Housing Company he made the largest (Continued on page 8) Walker Mfg.Co Donates Money To Tuskegee Tuskegee Inst., Ala., January 17 1924,—Tuskegee Institute through its president is the recipient of a substantial donation from the Madam C J.

Navy Sometime ago to a fellow citizen in Mississippi I advanced the proposition, self evident it seemed to me, that the welfare and happiness of the State is nothing more or less than the combined welfare and happiness of all the individuals who compose the State. The peopole are the State. Clear as this appears to me, my conversation with men in public life and the growth of the certain influences in the State compel the observation that the proposition, whatever its status in theory, is not generally recognized in practice. It might, therefore, be well to discuss it here at some length. Any community may be roughly divided into two groups, over-lapping to some extent and gradually merging into each other, the capable and the incapable. Society is so organized, neither it be divided or the able must bear the burdens of the incapable. The measure of the standing of a community is not, therefore, taken from the capabilities of the most fit, but from the resultant of the capable component after deducting from it the burden of the incapable. Some time ago I was privileged to visit Los Angeles, a city with capabilities for exceeding any other of my acquaintance. Such marked superiority is only the expected result of the operation of the natural law mentioned above. It will be found that the preponderance of capables is overwhelming in Los Angeles. This is due to the fact that the city has grown with remarkable rapidity (from a population of 11,000 to 1,880 to one of 750,000 today), and the influx has been of the most capable type. There is consequently a high degree of excellence fro mwhich only a small burden attaches in determining the capability of that city. Similar is the experience of all "new" or "growing" communities. They are said to be "booming" when the resultant capability is rising because of influx from the outside. In the shifts of population it is always the capable who move in search of fresh opportunity. The incapable stick to the old place like barnacles. We have here a simple explanation of the backward tendency of older communities as contrasted with the progressive spirit of the newer ones. Hence the advice so freely and generally give out in the last generation "Go West, young man, go West." And the young men do go West and they are still going West in large numbers, to add to the strength and virility of that great section of our country. Our own State of Mississippi according to the census of 1920 showed a decrease of population, compared with 1910. This is a warning that the percentage of incapables is on the increase, and should awaken our interest and stimulate our study of this important question. Upon the proper solution of the problem growing out of it rests our future welfare and happiness. If the State of Mississippi is to advance we have got to look to the Welfare of the incompetent—to seek some means of advancing that important body of our citizens to the point at which they will become competent and thus add to the welfare of the State instead of having to be carried along as a burden. We have got to apply ourselves to the advancement of those of our citizens already compe- (Continued on page 6) LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO The Earls Mardi Gras Friday Eve., Feb, 1 In behalf of our patrons, we wish to inform you of the French Festival, which will be known as The Earls Mardi Gras, Friday evening February 1, 1924, nine to one a.m. The most elaborate decorations are being contemplated, showers of confetti will rain at intervals, caps, horns, whistles and streamers in abundance, while the tickling toes frolic to the melodious strains of White's Orchestra.

Rutherford Points Out Need of Cooperation Among Insurance Companies Interest in life insurance is increasing rapidly among the colored people of the United States, in the opinion of R. H. Rutherford, president of the National Benefit Life of this city. As proof of this statement, he points out that every progressive colored company is prospering at this time. Founded 25 years ago with a cash capital of $6, the National Benefit now has assets of over $800,000, reserve of $465,592, a surplus of $100,000 and has on deposit for the protection of policy-holders $236,1000. At a meeting of the stockholders recently, it was voted to increase the capital stock to $250,000 from $100,000 at which it was placed in 1918. Question of Mortality Colored people, as a class, President Rutherford says, are looked upon as poor risks by the white companies which though accepting a tremendous number of colored riscks on the industrial plan, generally refuse to write ordinary policies, except for endowment insurance. The white companies claim the mortality rate among Negroes is higher than among white because of lower average sanitary and living conditions. Just how far this belief is justified Mr. Rutherford can not say, as no complete mortality tables for colored people have ever been compiled. The only thing of the sort, he says, is that prepared by the Metropolitan. This, he contends, is not representative as it is based on the experience of only one concern. Pushing Endowment Idea As endowment premiums are necessarily high, the market for this form of insurance is more or less limited and must be developed through extensive educational propaganda. However, the National Benefit Life is now writing a very substantial amount of this form of insurance and the company's efforts to promote a better understanding among the colored people of the advantages of endowment insurance are showing an increasingly satisfactory result. As the company is a colored organization, it is logically in a position to understand and overcome the numerous obstacles in the way of more general acceptance by colored people of the benefits of endowment insurance. This is one reason colored folks in increasing numbers are giving their insurance business to companies operated by their own race. There are many of these companies. Colored "Big Three" Mr. Rutherford is of the opinion that, of the colored insurance group, the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., doing business almost entirely in the south; the Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., also operating chiefly in the south, and his own company might be termed the "big three." Policies written by the National Benefit include ordinary, intermediate and industrial plans. Those qualified to take out ordinary policies, include farmers, bankers, business men and others of that class. In the intermediate group fall skilled laborers. Almost five-sevenths of the company's business, however, is in the industrial class. The annual premium for a $1,000 ten year endowment policy for age 35 is $105.69. A straight life policy for the same amount and age cost $28 annually. All ordinary life policies are participating. The average ordinary policy written by the company is $1,000, and the highest, $5,000. Industrial policies run from $25 to $500. The average is about $250 and the average premium 15 cents a week. The company will offer a new health and accident policy early this year. A feature of this service will be a health bonus by which the company will grant, without increase of premium, a 20 per cent increase of the weekly disability benefit if no claim be made on account of sickness or accident beginning within five years from the late of the policy. For the benefit of individuals of his race who are financially able to carry $25,000, $50,000 or even $100,000 policies, Mr. Rutherford is attempting to work out a treaty arrangement with a number of other colored companies whereby they would unite to accept such business and divide the risk. He is also seeking an arrangement by which all the colored companies would submit their mortality data to a reputable actuary and pro-rate the cost of compiling a complete colored mortality table. Where Company Operates It is Mr. Rutherford's opinion that colored companies are operating in every state where there is a sufficient number of Negroes to make such a venture worth while. His own company is active in Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, "Pennsylvania," Maryland, Dela- ware, New Jersey, West Virginia, Michigan and the District of Columbia and is licensed to operate in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. It is his hone to begin work in all these states this year. Local N. A. A. C. P. Elects Officers For the twelfth successive year, Hon. Archibald H. Grimke was elected president of the District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the annual meeting held in the assembly hall of the 12th Street branch of the Y.M.C.A. on Friday evening, January 18th. Mr. Grimke has seen the branch grow from a few hundred names to a roster of between ten and twelve thousand; its activities from one single case to cases now occupying the time of ten committees each with as much as can be done. At the last election in 1923, Mr. Grimke, now in his 74th year, announced his intention of retiring at the close of the term for which he was then elected. His term expired on Friday evening, but on the insistence of the executive committee and members of the branch he was induced to allow his name to be presented, and as a vote of confidence and an expression of appreciation he was unanimously elected, with the following officers: Archibald H. Grimke, president; Archibald S. Pinkett, recording secretary; Mrs. Martin D. Butler, assistant recording secretary; Garnet C. Wilkinson, treasurer; Prof. George W. Cook and Miss Ella M. Lynch, members of the executive committee. PROGRESSIVE RELIEF ASSOCIA TION HEARS PROMINENT SPEAKERS Col. George E.

So highly thought of was Mr. Green that on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of his employment, he was tendered a public reception at the Whitelaw Hotel. Among the guests attending this affair were former Secretaries Gage, Cortelyou, Glass, McAdoo, MacVeagh, Shaw and Houston. Mr. Green was first appointed to the Treasury in 1871 and served continuously since. Public Scandal May Result From Row (Continued from page 1) ern white man he would gladly get out of the way. Please have General Hines to act without delay. I have been here over a month and ready in every way and prepared to not only take care of that office, but any other matter about the hospital here. There is nothing to fear here now. I have been honored by the colored physicians here by being elected, unanimously, as president of the Medical and Surgical Association, U.S. Veterans' Hospital No. 91. You ought to be able to imagine how humiliating it is that General Hines should have me standing around here waiting for more than a month to be given my position, with no place to even hang my hat or coat as an office. If this matter becomes known to the colored people of the country, it will be disastrous both ways. My patience has gone far enough. Please have some understanding with him and something must be done before ten days, otherwise. I can't stand it. This man here, Dr. Griffith, the Commanding Officer, is one of the most tricky, scheming southern men you ever saw in your life. He and I get along tho. None of the colored doctors want to work under him. Please be careful and tell General Hines that this man has to leave Central Office and get every bit of the information which comes from this end. Dr. Rogers, medical officer in charge at Central Office, bears watching. I cannot continue to do this all night duty as if I were some insignificant night watchman. Please see General Hines; tell him I know that he wants to do the right thing and have me relieved from this night duty and let me go to my place as Executive Office within the next ten days. Dr. Crossland's call to Washington comes shortly after a trip here of Albion L. Holsey, secretary to Dr. Moton, who, it is claimed, was sent to get the necessary pull to have the Missouri recalled. From all indications, it appears that the cards are now stacked against Dr. Crossland. Conditions at the Tuskegee hospital are considered a disgrace. There are over fifteen colored doctors there. They are not permitted by Major Griffith now head of the hospital, to occupy the cottages provided for them but are forced to live in the quarters with the laborers and ground attendants. Many of the doctors resenting this, are now living in hotels and private homes in the town of Tuskegee. It is claimed that the whites will not permit the Negroes to occupy the hospital cottages because they expect that the Government, in the final analysis, will employ all white doctors, therefore these cottages are being kept vacant until this is definitely decided; because, you know, no southerne could live in a house once occupied by Negroes. The colored help in the hospital is divided into two classes; one class, consists of those who are avowedly for a colored personnel, and the other is either luke warm or are willing to accept anything given them by the unscrupulous whites. The local organizations of the American Legion in this city are demanding a Congressional inquiry into the whole affair. These ex-soldiers are demanding a thorough house cleaning. Whether Mr. Coolidge and his Republican colleagues will risk an investigation into this matter, cannot now be forecast. The Tuskegee Hospital issue has thoroughly disgusted the masses of Negroes and has caused more discontent among the voters than any recent issue. It is a case of damned if you do, and damned if you don't. If the white head is retained, the Republican leaders fear the resentment of Negroes in the coming election; while on the other hand, if they fulfil their promises to the Negroes, there is fear that lily-whites may balk and leave Cal in the soup at the Cleveland convention. Don't Scatter Your Dollars Seeds cast to a whirlwind will give you "distribution"—but that's no way to grow a crop. 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 90 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. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE As the Negro grows in wealth—and he is making rapid strides—there is every reason why he should grow in health—and he is making commendable gains therein also. Conversely, as the Negro grows in health he will also grow in wealth. Just as poverty and sickness go hand in hand, wealth and health are boon companions. As with nations, so with races, the United States, the wealthiest nation in the world is also the healthiest. As a race, are we not growing rather tired and disgusted with having the fact hurled into our faces, that the health standards of the United States are kept lower than they should be by the high rate of sickness among its Negro citizens? Most certainly it is our duty to get this matter adjusted, and for the sake of our own well-being and forward movement, we must-get on the job. In the light of present day standards, the modern hospital is just as essential as the church or the grocery store. No community or group of people can keep step to the tune of health integrity without hospitals. No race in America stands in such dire need of hospital facilities as does the Negro, and we cannot make the test of time so long as we are under-hospitalized as we are at present. True we have about 144 hospitals and sanitariums devoted to the care of Negro patients, but with very few exceptions they are too small, too poor and too inadequately equipped to render the health service needed by our race. Here is a most wonderful opportunity for the outpouring of our increasing wealth which will return dividends of perpetual value in the process of race building. Let us be frank with each other and face the truth. Just as we are a new race in civilization, we are also new in wealth, and in that new found joy we indulge in a too riotous and extravagant expenditure of money for personal pleasure and aggrandizement, forgetting our duty to the race as a whole, and its need for our loyal support.

The present day health question is striking at the vitals of the economic progress of our race, certainly more surely than the casual observer thinks. Again let me say health and wealth go hand in hand, and we must see to it that they grow to be on most friendly terms with our race. While the hospital is created primarily for the care of the sick and injured, that after all is but a small part of its function in our program for health betterment.

Each year finds newly graduated physicians who must have hospital experience before being permitted to practice in many states. They are needed too badly by our race for us to assume an indifference as to their accommodation. Medicine today is making such rapid progress that the practicing physician who is not permitted to enjoy the advantages of the modern hospitals, must soon find himself out-of-date and unprepared to give his patients the best possible service. If the doctor lags behind you cannot always blame him, for although in his daily tasks he finds the joy of serving, he must also have our support—the [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. backing of the wealth of our race so that the character of that service may be improved. With more hospitals, better equipped, better supported, more professional nurses properly educated, more physicians given the fullest possible opportunity, we as a race shall heart down our high sick and death rate building for ourselves a racial integrity unquestionable and everlasting. But it takes wealth to build and maintain hospitals, yet that wealth returns in dividends of health. How much did you contribute to a Negro hospital last year? How much will you contribute this year? Our hospitals need your help today, you may need their tomorrow! E. W. BUNDY UNDERTAKER I furnish a funeral that is complete in every detail consisting of high class elegant equipment.

No other game booked for Washington this winter surpasses this attraction. The Renaissance have taken their place along with the Loendi and Commonwealth teams as the professional floor leaders of the country. The "super-five" boasts of such notables as Hilton "Kid" Slocum, called the greatest of our basketball players; Ardeneze Dash, who local fans well remember of the champion Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity team of Howard University; "Hooks" Wallace, another celebrity and "Strangler" Forbes, former Howard star and about the most popular player on the courts today. In due consideration of the New Yorkers prowess, the Carlisle "5" promises to extend them to the limit. Led by Marcus Wheatland, former Lincoln captain and the foremost local court star, the Davis Brothers, Benny Hill, Wright, Mayo, Taylor, Brodic; a collection unsurpassed in the city has been moulded by Manager Conwa; into a great team. Most of the visitors were seen here in 1920 when the "Spartan Braves" before 2,000 fans at the Coliseum defeated the Carlisle after a red-hot battle. The locals got their revenge that same winter however when Benny Hill "ran wild" at the Manhattan Casino, New York and aided by his their own court. A mammoth crowd is certain to be on hand to witness this super attraction. Wills-Madden Booked Again Newark, N. J., Jan. 22—Harry Wills, and Bartley Madden, New York war horse, will meet in a twelve-round no-decision fight here February 25. The fight, scheduled at a much earlier date, was postponed because Wills broke a bone in one of his hands in a training bout. The new arrangements were made today at a meeting of the local promoters with Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, and Charley Rose, manager of Madden. Clark Trounced By Morehouse By L. Slater Haynes Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19-The Morehouse basketeers won from the Clark University quintet here tonight by the huge score of 67-15. Throughout the game the team showed the floorwork and basket shooting ability that will be necessary to win from the several teams that they are expecting to meet on the eastern and western tour. The Morehouse quintet has shown itself a giant in this locality winning from all of the local colleges and the Y.M.C.A. by a wide margin. The five-man defense was working perfect, Coach Harvey's men passing the ball under the basket and making sure shots. Three men Capt. Gayles, Bailey, and Sykes tallied five baskets each, while Traylor held his own as high point man making eight baskets and one free throw. The second string men played almost the entire second half. Capt. Jackson and Johnson were the stars for Clark University. Jackson shot four out of their seven baskets. The preliminary game was won by the 2nd year of the Morehouse Academy from the 4th year Academy, 6-5. The game was a stiff fight from start to finish. Morehouse Clark Gayles, (c) R.F.

Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton, Va., Jan. 19—Displaying a superior and more clever passing and guarding game, with the ability to sink shots when shots meant everything, Hampton's versatile court machine defeated Howard University in one of the hardest fought and most thrilling basketball games ever staged on the Hampton Institute Gymnasium court before a large and enthusiastic crowd that was constantly brought to its feet by the spectacular and clever floor work of both teams. Howard, though defeated, put up a great fight, rallying several times to forge into the lead. At the end of the first hald both teams, deadlocked, 10 to 10. Speedy Second Half Hampton got the tip-off in the second half and with several lightning-like passes got the ball in position for Jones to cage it, thus breaking the tie and putting Hampton in the lead. In this half Gunn and Hargrove played at their best, sinking shots from all angles and breaking up several threatening rallies started by Howard. The "Bisons" fought with everything they could use and were still unable to break through the superb defense of the "Seasiders.' Gunn, Hargrove, McNichols, and Jones all scored field goals with such rapidity that the Hampton Institute Gymnasium fairly shook with the cheers of the excited crowd. There was really no individual star among the "Seasiders," since every man played a game that stamped him a co-star. Hargrove led in shooting with six field goals and two free throws. Captain Langston, played a great game at guard. Gunn made two field goals, both of which came at a most convenient time. McCoy was the high point man for Howard, caging four field goals and two free throws. Clarkson played a fine game, displaying excellent dribbling ability and scoring two goals.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 BASKETBALL DASH, Howard graduate and former Alpha captain. Race Athletes Bid for Olympic This summer Uncle Sam will again turn to the Negro for defense in combat on foreign fields. This time it will not be on the battlefield where the toll of life records the victor and vanquished. True, blood may be shed, but not as result of firearms, gunpowder and gases. This country will allow the black American to unhold its athletic supremacy and bring the Olympic Game honors back to the States. A half-dozen Race athletes are looked upon as almost certain carriers of the Red, White and Blue at the international track and field contests. Probably the Race has never been so well represented both in quality and quantity. Very few of our track men have been able to make an impression abroad. "Charley horses," pulled tendons and sprained ligiments have been the lot of our stars when great-fame was within their grip. The track and field performers who are practically sure of places on the American team are Dehart Hubbard, the country's best bet at the broad jump and hop, step and jump events; Ned Gourdin, holder of the world's broad jumping record; Earl Johnson, national 5-mile champion and former 1-mile and cross-country national title holder; ; Charlie West, winner of the 1923 Penn Carnival pentathlon event and Albert Washington, reported to be another Howard P. Drew. In addition Howard, Hampton and Lincoln may furnish one or two athletes. Charlie Anderson captain of the Howard track team was an Olympic qualifier in 1920. With a reasonable break in luck the above group will make athletic history on foreign soil that all of us will be proud of. Hampton Opens Local's Season The Howard basketball team will open its home season at the Armstrong High gymnasium on Saturday night, February 2nd, at 8:30 o'clock, opposing the Hampton Institute quint. This will be the first time a Howard varsity quint has shown before local fans since 1920. With prospects that the new gym for Howard will be completed by next winter, the game was revived this year to arouse interest in the sport and get a line on the material. Clarkson, a well known Alpha star and Sewell, are the only survivors from the old squad. Howard's next home game will be with the Lincoln "Lions" at the Armstrong High gym on Friday afternoon, February 15. This game will be called at 4 o'clock. CHARELSTON DESERVES TITLE OF RACE'S GREATEST Oscar Charleston, the new manager of the Harrisburg Giants, playing in 83 league games with the Indianapolis A.B.C. Club last year lead his team at bat with an average of 343. He made 11 home runs, 22 two-base hits, stole 18 bases and drew 51 bases on balls. HILTON (KID) greatest bask SPORTS SPORTS CHATTER THE C.

AND THE GO-TO-COLLEGE MOVEMENT Editor's Note—This article begins a series on the activities of the C.I.A.A. Anyone familiar with the C.I.A.A. is welcome to use this column to enlighten the public. The writer would like very much to have the Association officials express their opinions in an open letter forum to Tribune readers. After spending quite some time delving into the constitution of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association whose membership is made up of the following institutions—Howard, Lincoln, Union, Hampton, Shaw, V.N.I.I., St. Paul, Va. Seminary—we conclude that drastic changes must be made in the by-laws of this organization to assure the future integrity and prosperity of Negro college athletics. We feel safe in adding that the C.I.A.A. as now governed is not fostering the higher educational plan. A reference will explain our contention. A report has it that Gunn and Coleman, football stars at Hampton last season will enter Howard in the fall. Should these men enter Howard, they cannot, according to the C. I. A. A. constitution, engage in intercollegiate athletics against C.I.A.A. members because they have played football—if our memory is correct—four years at Hampton. The C.I.A.A. constitution states, "No student shall participate in intercollegiate athletics more than four years in the aggregate in any branch of sport in the institutions eligible to membership in the Association." The Association deems that the participation in the whole of three or a part of four football games in a season with 'teams eligible to membership in the Association, or the receiving of a letter or monogram, constitutes "a year" in that particular sport. Article III of the constitution covering membership states, "All colleges, universities and institutions of learning in the United States doing at least two years of work above secondary grade shall be eligible to membership in this Association." Assuming that Gunn and Coleman have not completed their college work since Hampton is regarded as an industrial institution, is it not an injustice to stop their athletic careers? On the other hand would it be quite fair to Hampton and other Association members to allow these same players to represent Howard on the gridiron to contest for the C.I.A.A. championship? Looking further into the situation, Howard and Lincoln are our only institutions that select their material exclusively from college men. Union, Shaw and Va. Seminary can not get sufficient material from their college departments. A student therefore can play football from two to four years at six Association institutions while pursuing a high school course. In fact he can complete the full-course of two or three of these institutions, indulge in athletics for four years and enter Howard or Lincoln a freshman and be unable to engage further in athletics. Something must be done to draw the youths of today to college. The colleges' best drawing card is athletics. What incentive then is there for youths to complete a college course when they are shut off from athletics? We may talk of this phase of college life being secondary and that too much emphasis is put on it; be that as it may, athletics has taken a place second to none and can not be passed over slightly. The C.I.A.A. as governed by its present constitution is not supporting the "go to college" spirit. It is not helping Union and Shaw to strengthen their college departments. What benefits are Lincoln and Howard receiving as members of the Association? The athletic programs of V.N.I.I. and St. Paul are receiving little help. In other words the athlete should be encouraged to complete his college work.

PRESENTING BEST MOTION PICTURES PRODUCED MATINEE DAILY 2 P. M. Something of Interest By I. L. Parker I. L. PARKER "The Negro Sanhedrin" and the Virgin Islands Commission At last Dean Kelly Miller has found an opening for a meeting of his much-discussed "Sanhedrin". The meeting of this Race Conference is to be held in Chicago, Ill., on February 11, and will continue its sessions for the remainder of the week. "The Sanhedrin," Dean Miller tells us, "was a Jewish assembly or council," governed by and for the Jews somewhat like unto the government of the United States by and for the Caucasian. Its function was to perfect "a scheme of working relationship" between the Jew and the Gentile world. Dean Miller accredits Napoleon Bonaparte with the original idea. But the Dean himself is due credit for suggesting "a like conference of the Negro people of the United States today under the ancient designation." It is interesting to note that "The Negro Sanhedrin" has been and is to be kept clear of politics and politicians. It is to be "a delegated body, composed of representatives from national organizations functioning in general or special fields" for the Negro race as a whole. Humanity is the first and supreme object. With this in mind the All-Race Conference is started out to focus all efforts, put forth by other organizations for the betterment of the state of the Negro race. By such unity, greater strength, more rapidity, and assurance may be had in reaching an understanding and AMOS DEAR, DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! I SURE DO!! solving the problem. The most effectual method of handling such a problem is to grasp the psychology of the Negro and formulate principles for his guidance. It is no less interesting to note that Roscoe Simmons through the Lincoln League is trying to hinder the progress of the "Negro Sanhedrin." To Roscoe Simmons no organization means much unless it has a political platform. Therefore, he has set about to kill the non-political "Sanhedrin." Through the All-Race Conference, Negroes will learn things which will make it possible for Roscoe to swing the Negro's vote for Mr Coolidge, consequently, it is no more than to be expected that Roscoe will try to upset the plans of the "Sanhedrin" Court. **** As he proposed in his message to The Congress, President Coolidge has appointed a commission to make a survey of the economic conditions of the Virgin Islands so as "to formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence." Robert R. Church, political leader and Memphis financier, the appointed chairman of the commission, did not accept the position. His business would not permit him, so he said. Perhaps so! It is rumored that he has joined hands with Roscoe Simmons to kill the Sanhedrin. If this THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 WHY I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING GREATER!

But life insurance without destroying any good now existing, without halting or impeding the advancement of any new truth, will survive. Only degeneration of the moral fibre of the world can shrink its benefice and paralyze its aggressive strength. be true, we can understand "his business." However, the Commission will not lose anything by his absence. We expect nothing in the way of betterment from the report of the Commission. There is no doubt that the economic conditions are deplorable in the Virgin Islands. We should love to have them otherwise. But when we think of the international discussion and comment caused by the Commission to Haiti, the muss Gen. Leonard Wood has made in the Phillipines, we are doubtous of the success of any attempt of the Caucasus to assist weaker peoples, especially those of a darker hue. Commissions go out, as a rule, to prove certain things and to recommend only what they think is needed. It is desired that this Commission may realize that there are age-old traditions and customs, dear to the hearts of the Islanders, which should be respected as far as possible; that any custom, inconvenience, or prejudice which breaks their morale or corrupts their democracy is futile. It is a case of starting "within." Federal Life Explains Value of Insurance (Continued from page 1) Life insurance is a mighty fortress. It holds in its grasp the ambitions and the hopes that run through every wedding, march, that cluster about every cradle. It likewise holds, locked in its treasure house, the commercial faith of men and of nations. No group of men on earth today, organized for an industrial or civic purpose, has behind it, dedicated to a single use, such vast accumulations of wealth as have they who make up the army of the insured, and no more potent marshal of a portion of this treasure has come to the fore in recent times than THE FEDERAL LIFE INSURANCE CO., whose aims and history, along with those of life insurance in general, this series of articles will portray. (Continued in the next issue) "Big Brother" at the Republic "Big Brother" a Rex Beach story and a Paramount picture, featuring Tom Moore, Edith Roberts and Raymond Hatton will be the feature attraction at the Republica Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, January 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31. It is a big "crook" melodrama, said to be the logical successor to "The Miracle Man." The story concerns the resolutions of an East Side gang leader to correct his ways after his lieutenant had been killed by the bullet from the leader of a rival gang. In dying the lieutenant had asked his chief to take care of his little brother and to bring him up "different." The elements working against the gang leader, the depth and sincerity of his love for Kitty, the angel of the district, the machinations of Cokey Joe, the dope fiend, and the final triumph of the gang leader provide sympathetic and convincing entertainment. On Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2, "The Whispered Name" adapted from Rita Weiman's "The Co-Respondent" will be the attraction. "The Whispered Name" is a dramatic story of society and newspaper life, dealing with the expose of a blackmail ring. In the cast are Ruth Clifford, Hayden Stevenson, Niles Welch, Buddy Messenger and Charles Clary. SPORTS SCHOLASTIC 45, ST. CYPRIANS 17 The Baltimore Scholastic showed the class of champions as heralded when they let St. Cyprian's Big Five down on the small end of the 45-17 game last Wednesday night.

Tuskegee Alumni Tuskegee Institute, Ala., January 19 The forty-seven members of the Tuskegee Institute foot ball squad were banqueted Saturday evening by the General Tuskegee Alumni Association at which time sixteen members of the "Tiger Clan" were awarded the "coveted T." The affair, which was also attended by the members of the Executive Council, and other friends, eclipsed in every way any previous entertainment of this nature, due largely perhaps to the changed status of 'the "Tiger" in Southern Athletic Circles; this being the first time in several years that the speakers had no complaints to utter but were able to point with pride to the record of the team. This "changed status' was due to the efforts of Coach Cleve L. Abbott and his staff who took a group of boys inexperienced, but who had the desire to play foot ball and moulded them into a machine that tied with Atlanta, Morehouse, and Fisk for championship honors of the South. This achievement was referred to and extolled by Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal; Mr. Warren Logan, Treasurer; Colonel W. H. Walcott, Commandant of Cadets; Mrs. E. S. Landers, Dean of Women; Captain A. J. Neely, Registrar and President of the General Alumni Association and Mr. B. F. Hubert, Director of the Agricultural Department. Coach Abbott and Captain Kitchen responded in behalf of the team. Mr. F. H. Gow acted as toastmaster. Duncan Elected Captain The designation of Owen J. Duncan as Captain of the "1924 Tigers" met with the approval of the members of the squad and the student body. Duncan for two years has proved to be one of the most consistent ends in the South, cool under fire, popular with the players and a natural leader. The following members of the squad were awarded the "T": Kitchen, Danzby, Duncan, Gilbo, Brown, Robinson, Harris, Tadlock, Street, Boss, Stevenson, Bailey, Wooten, Joyner, Stewart and Smith.

"If Winter Comes" at Broadway Thousands who have read A. S. M. Hutchinson's "If Winter Comes" and have heard that William Fox has produced a motion picture version of the great novel have wondered how the dramatic element could be extracted from such a conversational book and presented on the screen. A highly impressive answer is supplied in the photoplay itself which has attained a heigh of dramatic power rarely achieved on the screen. "If Winter Comes" will be given its first showing at the Broadway Theatre, Sunday for five days. Two of the most powerful scenes in this screen masterpiece are the inquest on Efle Bright, the young girl whom Mark befriended and for whose death he is suspected, and Mark's meeting later with the hypocritical Twynning, who sought to fasten the crime on him. Throughout the trial, with the prosecution twisting facts and distorting innocent situations, poor old Mark is dragged through a hell beyond his imagination. The photoplay "If Winter Comes" is filled with dramatic scenes and situations that rank high above the screen average.

Just think of the United-States-Government, thru its Department of Labor sending out a commission to "investigate the economic and industrial conditions" of its recently acquired Virgin Islands without sending any technical experts. How will the commissioners collect any worth while data and compile them for an intelligent report to the Department of Labor? A thoughtful review of the personnel of the commission will bear out the statement that the appointing of the commission is purely political. Mr. Church, who resigned from the commission and Mr. Woodson of Iowa were appointed because of their national political reputations. Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond, Ind., hails from the state controlled by Senator Watson. Mr. Watson, since Senator New's defeat, realizes that he must do something for the Negroes of his state in order to hold them in line this fall, and later to return himself to the Senate two years hence. The Democrats are likely to nominate Senator Ralston of Indiana, for President and Watson will have a big job holding down the Negro vote of the State for the Republican nominee. W. H. C. Brown of Newport News is an able financier and Mr. Siemp, erstwhile "lily white" leader of the Republican party of the South, now secretary to the President, realizes something must be done to stop the falling away of the Negro from the Republican ranks; and as he hails from Virginia also, therefore, someone makes a master stroke and Mr. Brown is now in the Virgin Islands. Prof. Chas E. Mitchell, of West Virginia was drafted in the Commission. It is from this state that Senator Elkins hails. He comes up for re-election this fall. There is little doubt that he remembers the defeat of his colleague, Senator Southerland, two years ago. Jefferson S. Coage, formerly of Delaware, was tacked onto the commission. According to a dispatch from Delaware, he was placed by Senator Ball. Senator Ball's time is out this year and he, too, must face re-election this fall. He well remembers the defeat of Senator Du Pont and Congressman Layton two years ago. The Negroes did it. Therefore, Mr. Coage's trip to the islands is to be used as valuable political fodder during the coming campaign. Will these Negroes be able to deliver the Negro voters in their respective States? We do not think so. The dissatisfaction with, and disgust of, the Republican Administration that has not the courage to enforce the Constitution of the United States and acknowledges its moral cowardice, cannot hope to swing thinking Negroes by the appointing of a "commission" of this sort. Mr. President: Place a Negro on the Civil Service Commission; place more Negroes in the Agricultural Department, especially in the farm loan department; withdraw the Marines from Haiti; abolish discriminations in the civil service; place more Negroes in the Department of Labor and we will begin to think that you are the President of all the citizens of the United States rather than of a selected group.

Hampton Seniors Unveil Motto Hampton, Va., Jan. 24-"An efficient life based on high thoughts and noble deeds" is the motto which has been adopted on Emancipation Day with appropriate exercises, which were held in Ogden Hall. Herbert Hardwick of Savannah, Ga., president for several years of the 1924 class, declared that altruistic thinking leads people from the stage where the individual predominates to the stage where the good of the group is the important factor. Mississippian Tackles Race Problem in U.S. (Continued from page 1) tent that they may become more competent. Our most evident need is to better the condition of the Negro that his earning capacity, mode of living, freedom from disease and hopefulness of outlook may be improved. There are more than a million Negroes in Mississippi. Their individual earning capacity is so small, on the average, that by very little effort it can be greatly increased. If we increase the Negro's earning capacity only $10 a year on the average, surely not an impractical dream, we will add every year ten million dollars to the wealth of the State. But I believe that it can be increased a great deal more than this, and that if the problem be wisely approached and followed up with THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 vigor and energy we can from this alone convert Mississippi from one of the poor States to one of the rich. If the Negro were advanced to the limit of his capabilities this tSate would be the garden spot of the world and there would be no Negro problem, for the simple reason that the Negro will have ceased to be a burden. The Negro problem, with all its various ramifications, exists only because the Negro is incompetent. Make him competent (and it can be done); enable him to stand alone and to carry his share of the burden; hold out to him the hope of reward; give him the means of securing happiness: do these things, I say, and he will solve his own problems to the infinite relief of our civilization. There need be no social equality of the races, that scarecrow which continually rises to retard progress along sane lines, and the Negro race will not want it any more than the white race. When I was a boy I used to listen to campaign oratory of which there was much. Painful similarity more than any other feature characterized the speeches. The candidate began with his record in the Civil War, a record which no one saw fit to check up, so far as I know. He followed this with his views on the Negro question and invariably declared if it came to a question whether this was to be a white man's country or a Negro's country, he, for one, was in favor of making it a white man's country. He was in favor of keeping the Negro in his place. Generally, he did not believe in educating the Negro because by so doing you only spoiled a good plow hand. He ended his oration with a beautiful and poetic tribute to the bravery, virtue and beauty of our women. Nowadays the women can speak for themselves and are in some cases the candidate. We have come to realize that the State of Mississippi cannot live on her Civil War Record alone. Let us wake up to the fact that the talk about white man's country and Negro's country is all flapdoodle, and that far from ruining a good plow hand, education along correct lines will raise the Negro out of the ranks of the incompetent and make him a much more valuable citizen. The future of the State of Mississippi is not in the hands of its leading statesmen, it is not in the hands of its preachers, doctors and lawyers; it is in the hands of the lowly Negro who too many of our well-meaning citizens profess to despise. The greatest service we can do for the State is to strengthen his hands and his heart and his mind. The welfare of all the people is best promoted by the full and unselfish cooperation of all the elements within the State. The formation of special groups and classes with a highly developed sense of group or class consciousness harbors possibilities of great harm and, unless we take precautions against the growth of these possibilities, progress will thereby be retarded. Class hatred is one of the most pernicious poisons in the body politic. It prevents the peaceful and orderly development of our resources, throttles trade and in some cases leads to violence and destruction. First in importance because of its intensity and extent comes the question of race. There is no reason why hatred should exist between the whites and th Negroes. That it does exist to a considerable extent cannot be denied. It is our inheritance from the agitation of demagogues, who found personal profit in loud mouthed appeals to the emotions. They stirred up hatred to dull our sense of reason and get our votes. It is one of the healthiest signs of the times that our reason appears to have returned and we have come to realize that cooperation between the races is necessary. Fortunately hatred is disappearing and we are beginning to take an intelligent view of the situation. There must be a just administration of the laws for white and black alike. Both must be assured equal protection of life and property under the laws. You cannot have one law for the white and another law for the Negroes. Every man must be equal before the law. Absolute justice should be the end in view. This does not mean that there must be social admixture of the races. In the present state of things such is not to be thought of. But the Negro as well as the white man should be free to enjoy social relationships and pleasures and to develop his social life along natural and healthful lines. He must surely resent interference in this freedom, with hatred as the natural and inevitable result. Difference of race is a natural barrier that cannot be broken down. Between the white man and the Negro there is a distinction of class which must be accepted. But, because of this natural barrier, there is no reason to build up other artificial barriers to prevent the growth of prosperity for both alike. The two races working at cross purposes and fanning the flame of hatred must both suffer the consequences. To advance at all, both must advance together. Economic prosperity will be experienced only when hatred is eliminated and full and unselfish cooperation is established. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams PROF. TIBBS AND HOWARD GLEE CLUB ACCLAIMED Mr. Terrence, the writer of the following article makes, interesting as well as historical comment on the Glee Club of Howard University, reviewing in detail the character of music used, and a record of public appearances made by the club in neighboring states. Prof. Tibbs as director, is highly commended and rightfully so as he is possibly doing as much or more as a musician, to raise the standard of music among colored citizens as any other one person in Washington. Prof. Tibbs is the originator of the Artists' Course Series just closed and his influence shaped its destiny largely. He is a high class musician and gentleman and deserves the tribute. The article follows: "The Howard University Glee Club" "The session of 1923-24 marks the tenth year since the 'Howard University Glee Club' was organized. From its incipiency to the present time, its hundreds of listeners and admirers have watched its growth, its progress and its success. It started under the leadership of Professor Roy W. Tibbs who needs no introduction to the music world. He is one of the two colored men who are members of the Organists Guild and he is so proficient in music that no one questions the ability of any individual or group which he directs P "Each successive year the Glee Club has presented programs more difficult more attractive until its reputation has widened and its popularity has increased to the extent that it has outranked all Negro Clubs and has been acclaimed one of the best in the country. The selections for its various programs are well chosen from French, Italian, German, English, Spanish, and American composers, all of whom depict the deep emotions of their people. "Protheroe's Spanish songs and Di Laasso's Italian songs produce many odd yet most harmonious strains. There is a smooth flow of purity and sweetness of tone which does not go by unnoticed. Brahm's songs only strengthen the prof of the greatest triumph and the scope of the success of Deutschland in its musical productions. They touch on the camps and courts of chivalry, the humble peasant life and the supernatural traditions of the 'Fatherland'. Coleridge-Taylor should not be left out. His 'Viking Song' deserves special notice for its quickness and its steadiness. Although iZt is sung with force, harmony is not lacking. "Gibson's lullabies and Cadman's Indian songs are well worth listening to. They portray a free and ambitious romance, a calm and soothing air and a rich complete. Cook and Burleigh, above all, must not be forgotten. Their songs are equally as rich and as full of meaning as any others. Many of them contain a most melodious exuberance of woe, of longing, of joy of the Negro which the Negro alone can produce. "Last Spring the Club presented recitals in Harrisburg, Pa., and Clarksburg, West Virginia, and next with great success. In Harrisburgh, the Governor and several officials of the State of Pennsylvania were present Religions exist each for a certain definite reason. Their members have identified themselves with a particular class. Between any two religions there is an impassable barrier. The formation of such classes need not be inimical to the welfare of the State and it will not be unless prejudice and hatred between classes are engendered. Our prosperity and our happiness depend upon the elimination of PROF. ROY. W. TIBBS and expressed themselves as being highly pleased. In Clarksburg, the Club gave its recital at the Opera House and on the two days following sang at the city's largest hotel to the Rotary Club. The daily papers wrote of the Glee Club as being one of the best that have ever visited the city. They were so agreeably surprised and pleased with the singing that they heartily indorsed the action of the Rotary Club which invited the Glee Club to return next Spring. "This year the Club is even better toned and more fully balanced than last year. It is still under the most efficient direction of Professor Tibbs and is still composed of Ernest T. Hemby and James B. Majors who are two of Washington's most capable soloists. The entire personnel comprises twenty-eight. The officers for the year are: D M. Reesby, president; W. B. Edelin, secretary; W. L. Stripling, business manager; A. C. Terrence, Jr., treasurer, and B. L. Walton, accompanist. "Our standard of appreciation of music must be raised and our interest must be set. Possessed as we are with natural aptitude and inherent fondness for music, there is no reason why not only Howard University should give its strongest support to such an organization, but every similar institution should cultivate its possibilities in this art and raise them to the highest rank." MARIAN- ANDERSON SUCCESS AT LINCOLN (Reprinted In Part from "The Washington Herald" of Jan. 29, 1921) Marian Anderson, a young contralto with a remarkable voice, was presented in recital at the Lincoln Theater Wednesday afternoon as the last in the artist course of concerts. Marian Anderson also gave a remarkable program, singing Italian arias, German and French art songs, besides songs in English. She has been taught and coached in interpretation by the Italian teacher Giuseppe Boghete, of New York and Philadelphia. Her languages also are excellent. At first one did not know whether this was a vibrant dramatic soprano or not, until the profound depth of her contralto range was heard. Her's is a most unusual range. The quality is lusciuoos, with an instinctive lure of tone, and of overtones that enrich the timbre yet give no slightest quaver. Miss Anderson sang with utmost simplicity, filled her songs with atmosphere and gave thrills and execution with the purity and style of the recognized concert artist. When two seasoned concert goers could not see for the tears in their eyes, as she sang Richard Strauss" "Morgen," held in slow rhythm so potently, that says much. Her opening "Caro mio ben" was pure, lovely, melodious Italian singing, and her Scarlatti was delightful execution. Massenet's difficult "Crespuscule" gained in mystic quality from the personal essence of this voice, so absolutely true to pitch, while the depth of Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught Me" sank deep into the heart with its subtlety. Marian Anderson is yet young; she has not caught the Russian fiber of tone yet, she used too white a voice in the "Billowy Harvest Field" of Rachmanoff. She sang carefully some things still a bit out of her reach, but never did she exceed her own powers. There are oboe tones in her voice. In the Negro spirituals there were organ tones with the imitative inflection native to these songs. Her lower register is round beautiful and rare, nor does she strain for a free upper voice of power and beauty. William Leonard King at the piano, was significant at all times for the understanding of his musicianship and his artistic accompaniments. hatred and the development of full and unselfish cooperation. The principle of cooperation extends to all groups and classes. It is applicable to the relations of Capital and labor, farmer and merchant, landlord and tenant, and all other classes and groups. So also with the State, success depends upon full and unselfish cooperation of all. A. C. TERRENCE, J1 THE NEW SUMMIT HOTEL 1249 Seventh Street, N.W. Southeast corner 7th and N Streets, N.W.

One of his ancestors, a full blooded Negro, was ennobled by Peter the Great. Alexander inherited this ancestor's dark skin and a mass of curly hair. During his early life he began writing. One of his poems, "Ode to Liberty" brought him the displeasure of the court and to escape being arrested and sent to the prison at Siberia he managed to be appointed to an official post at Kishineff, in Southern Russia. When Tzar Nicholas ascended the throne in 1825, Puskin was recalled to Moscow and appointed imperial historiographer. Puskin gained great reknown while he lived, as being the greatest writer in Russia and among the greatest poets of the world at that time. As a poet, he still remains the greatest Russia has produced. His novels and other works of prose do not rise to the high standard of his poetry. His best works of prose are "The Pistol Shot," "The Queen of Spades," "The Undertaker," and "The Captain's Daughter." The last novel was written about 1831, and published under the pen name of Ivan Byellkin. Opens 1 p. m. Daily Sundays 3 p. m.

"Well," said the lady, "Go into the world and speak a kind word to all, ```markdown ``` DORA and do kind deeds for all in need, and don't look into the mirror for a year," then she vanished. Dora did as she was bid and at the end of a year the lady (who was really a fairy) returned and Dora told her all that had happened. The fairy told her "to look into the mirror," and when she looked into the glass, behold she was beautiful—her tangled hair fell in beautiful curls about her shoulders. "You see," said the fairy, "our actions make us beautiful. Beautiful ways make beautiful people however homely they may be."

Mr. Mitchell pointed to the fact that his company has been progressive but conservative from the beginning, and that all of its investments had been made in real estate which was already producing. The rents from the property of the company amount to more than twelve hundred dollars a month. Mr. Mitchell told of having recently secured loans for the company amounting to thirty thousand dollars. The representative of this paper was impressed deeply by the conservative manner in which the affairs of the company had been handled and the very modest way the company had conducted itself. Much credit is due the president who is without doubt one of the best and most farsighted business men of the race. Although it has been only five years since he gave up his position as head of one of the splendid educational institutions in the south and came to Washington, he has made a permanent place in the business affairs in the city. Mr. Mitchell, in addition to being the largest single stockholder in his company, owns a splendid office building at 1232 U Street in which the company is housed, and several other valuable pieces of real estate in the city. He thinks that the Negro business era in this city is just dawning, and that the next ten years will find Negro wealth and Negro business increased by more than one hundred per cent. He declares that it is the purpose of his own company to increase its assets to one million dollars within the next five years. It is a real inspiration to listen to men of Mr. Mitchell's type discuss the possibility and the future of the Negro business man. He is bubbling over Thursday Reception Ground Broken for Armstrong Annex Despite the cold weather last Monday, the students and faculty of Armstrong Manual Training School, held the ground breaking exercises for the new $700,000 annex as per schedule.

RESOLUTIONS are splendid things that are faithfully made on January 1st every year and found in the ash can on January 2nd. No doubt, Father Adam made and broke the first one. They indicate lack of tenacity, for they all are good and just what the individual ought to do. But, alas, he does not have the will power and the fixity of purpose to persist in the path that he has marked out for himself. But there is one resolution which every real, live man should have made on January 1, 1924, to which he ought resolutely to stick. I will buy his own home this year. that this is a good resolution.
