Miss Burroughs Announces Purchase of Working Women's Home KELLY MILLER NEARLY WRECKS HOWARD'S APPROPRIATION Republicans to Fight to Finish for Cohen Confirmation ASSURED OF THE NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE SENATE'S RECON INSURANCE CO. MAKING SIDERATION ENVIABLE RECORD HERE First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 39 KELLY M Republic ASSURED OF THE N SENATE'S RECON- SIDERATION Cohen Leaves for Home with Fair Chance of Winning Out As announced exclusively in The Tribune last week, the fight to have a reconsideration on the nomination of Watter L. Cohen to be Comptroller of the Port of New Orleans, began this week. Senator Henrick Shipstead of Minnesota moved on the floor of the Senate this week to have the Senate reconsider the vote. This will again bring the nomination before the Senate. It is reported that a number of Democratic Senators from the North will change their votes. Quite a few of these Senators were absent when the vote was taken; however, they now plan to take more interest in the matter. The persistent talk on the floor about disclosing the vote which resulted in Cohen's defeat, caused may Democrats from the North who were lukewarm because it was a Republican nomination to change their attitude. It is now firmly believed that when the matter comes up again, the nomination will be acted on favorably. Mr. Cohen, who has been here for several weeks in interest of his nomination, left Monday night for his home in New Orleans. However, before leaving, he obtained assurances from Chairman John Adams of the Republican National Committee and President Coolidge, that he will be given a recess appointment again on the adjournment of Congress if the matter has not been acted on favorably by the Senate. His first recess appointment came last year from President Handing, Cohen is now serving without pay, as the salary does not become available until the nomination is confirmed by the Senate. If no confirmation is made before July 1st, the salary reverts to the Treasury. Mr. Cohen has extensive business interests in New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. He stated that his income is sufficient to permit him to serve without pay until the matter is finally adjusted. As this is a presidential election year the nomination is expected to be fought for very vigorously by the Republicans. Mr. Cohen is the only member of a little group of politicians that control the Lincoln League who seems to have the Republican party fighting for him. Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, was left flat by the party when he failed for confirmation. Perry Howard from Mississippi got his berth via the "special assistant" route which does not have to be confirmed by the Senate. However, Mr. Cohen's job is the only one offered a Negro in the South. In fact Mr. Cohen is the only one of this group who actually spends the most of his time in the South. To Help Children in Mountains A benefit musical for the mountain children will be given at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, M Street, between 15th and 16th Streets, next Tuesday, March 4th.

Pinkney, soprano; Prof. Cecil Cohen, pianist; Prof. R. D. Carlton Dorsey, violinist; and W. Calvin Chase, cornetist. The affair is under the management of Mrs. Mariam D. Butler and Miss Gregoria F. Goins. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly HILLER NE cans to Fi NATIONAL BENE INSURANCE ENVIABLE Aniong all the so-called forces of Negro uplift, there is none more useful than the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city. Reaching out into every type of home it has spread a canopy of protection over 175,000 of our group and is daily furnishing them guidance, inspiration and hope. It has become quite a familiar figure in the business world and the household word and dependence in the homes of thinking colored people. In 1923, the Silver Anniversary of this Company, was marked by the greatest activity and growth in its history, as will be evidenced by the coming annual statement which will show that the company's income went far beyond the million dollar mark, with 90,665 policies issued, 16 new states entered and an increase in capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000. Those of our group inclined to keep abreast of their commercial accomplishments and activities in District of Columbia, recall very vividly the National Benefit Life Insurance Com Y.W.C.A. to Start Campaign for Budget The Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. is on the verge of launching it's Budget Campaign. The realization that the Y.W.C.A. is a comradeship based on democracy of a common faith, a fellowship of women and of girls for the development of Christian character is sufficient recommendation to warrant the hearty financial support of the community. The Young Women's Christian Association whose purpose it is to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, to promote growth in Christian character and service through physical, social, mental and spiritual training; and to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God, occupies the position as one of the strongest factors in any community in the uplifting of our girlhood and this time, even more than ever, realize her responsibility in the maintenance of such an organization. Let us just scan briefly some of the things that the organization is doing: up to date there are enrolled in the Girl Reserve department, 573 girls whose bodies, minds, and spirits are given wholesome food necessary for the development of Christian women and worthwhile leaders. The Industrial and Business girls enjoy recreation in the gymnasium, study classes, sewing, millinery, hina-painting and also take a great deal of interest in social service work. The present enrollment in the Y. W. C. A. excluding Girl Reserve is 2,243 members, women representing all denominations and women from all sections of the city. The estimated expenses for the 1924 budget is $34,556; the estimated receipts for the 1924 budget is $27,655. The Budget difference therefore being $6,900 the community is asked to share in the giving of this difference in order that the Association might be able to render service to all girls and women. Washington is on trial in the court of the country. It does depend upon us who make up that 120,000 population of our people in this city to stand back of our Phyllis Wheatley pany's presentation to the public of a remodeled and enlarged Home Office Building on March 5, 1921 for better service. In time so brief as to appear in history's recoking but an elapsed moment, the summer of 1923 marked the opening of a branch office in the southwest section of the city at $289\frac{1}{2}$ 41/2 Street, which proved both popular and convenient to those residing south of the Capitol. Perhaps the most severe problem that the general office at 609 F Street has had to face is that of adequately housing its large home office force and northwest agency, to say nothing of the added equipment and incoming and increasing volume of business. This linked with the intense interest exhibited by Washingtonians residing north of the Capitol has made it necessary to open an up-town office at 1209 U Street, Northwest. This will greatly relieve the congestion at the F Street building which will house only the executive and administrative forces. (Continued on page 3) The Executive Committee of the National Race Congress met here Thursday, with Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president, presiding. The Committee advanced the date of the annual meeting of the Congress fro mMay 7 to April 29, owing to the meeting of the general conferences of the various Methodist Churches the first week in May. The Committee also passed a resolution authorizing the president to solicit funds for the establishment of a bureau of publicity here in Washington. A resolution authorizing the establishing of the bureau of publicity was passed at the annual meeting here last May. President Jernagin made a report of his recent Southern trip and the establishing of locals in Florida and North Carolina. A membership drive was authorized with Rev. E. D. W. Jones as the Chairman. Rev. Jones stated that he would carry the work of the Congress to the people of Washington in a week's drive for members, as well as to people in the states. A committee of five, he led by the president held a conference with Congressman Tinkham, of Massachusetts, concerning his resolution introduced in the House on February 5, asking for an investigation by the Census Committee of the House, as to the extent to which the right to vote is denied certain citizens of the United States. Congressman Tinkham said that he had been here for the past ten years and that he found a maze of red tape and technicalities in every department of the government here. He told of how he had tried to get a bill through Congress to cut down Southern representation for the South's failure to permit the enforcement of the 14th (Continued on page 3) Young Women's Christian Association, giving to her every inch of our support financially, and spiritually, we must hold the banner of Washington high - we must put the Budget Campaign for 0,000 over - yes, for over the top. Institution Has Made Rapid Progress Since Opening Last Summer Another evidence of the progress of The Prudential Bank, our youngest financial institution, is that gas bills may be paid there. This is a distinct recognition of the stability and progressiveness of this new institution. The collection of gas bills will do much to further popularize the bank which has made a steady growth since its opening day. In a statement recently published on February 11, new business to the amount of $20,720.53 was shown since January 2. This is a remarkable increase in new business. There were 305 new accounts opened in January. In a conversation with Mr. Banton the cashier, a Tribune reported was informed that their deposits are now over $130,000. It will be well for those people paying gas bills to pay them through the Prudential Bank as it is the first recognition by the gas company of any of our institutions and at the same time it will help increase their already growing deposits Dedicate Annex ot Garrison By Ike Murray Men and women, prominent in the national and local life of Washington, met at the Garrison school on 12th between R and S Sts., N.W. Thursday afternoon of last week and witnessed perhaps one of the most elaborate exercises ever held on an occasion of its kind. The event was the dedication of the eight room addition to the Garrison school which was completed about the same time that the new Smothers and Chain Bridge schools were. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who was the principal speaker, praised the "wonderful" strides the Colored race had made since the days of emancipation and showed, through the statistical data he had gathered that no race in so short a period had made such advancement, as the one, who it was his pleasure to address. "Your people have written and published more than 2,000 books," said Senator Capper, "they own and edit 200 papers and periodicals. You contribute each year upward of $1,000,000 for the maintenance of 45,000 churches, having a total property valuation of $88,500,000. Four million eight hundred thousand of your fellows are communicants and two quarter million of your children receive religious instruction in your Sunday Schools." "This handsome building," continued the Senator, "which we here-to-day dedicate is evidence of that equality of opportunity of self development." The history of the school was read by J. C. Nalle, supervising principal of the tenth division. A. L. Harris, Municipal Architect, in turning the keys of the school over to Mr. Wilkinson, the Assistant Superintendent, told of the plans of the building and said that more necessary work be done in other schools, as soon as sufficient money was available. In taking the keys, Mr. Wilkinson said, "We accept the school and dedicate it to education." The school carries a staff of twenty teachers. --- Despite the activities of certain Howard officials, the Senate restored the two items aggregating $500,000 for the medical school of Howard University last Tuesday. It was against these two items that Senator Simmons of North Carolina made his point of order, last week. However, these same two items came very near meeting a disastrous defeat Monday because Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University had placed in the hands of Senator Smoot of Utah on Saturday, a note-memorandum asking him not to fight rhe medical school item, if it appeared that it would jeopardize the regular appropriation. Senator Smooth upon receiving the note, in turn gave it to Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, who had previously moved for a suspension of the rules so that the two items could be introduced as an amendment to the Interior Department bill. Upon receiving this note, Monday, Senator Lenroot announced on the floor of the Senate that because of this note, he would not press for a vote on his motion. As soon as this statement was made, certain persons at the Capitol, not however, connected with Howrad, informed Dr. Scott of the situation. A short time later Dr. Durkee, president of the University called Senator Lenroot over the phone and told him that no one had been authorized to write such a note and that the statement contained in it did not in any way represent the attitude of the University toward the items. Fair Association in Successful Convention The National Association of Colored Fairs, held its annual meeting here at the New Liberty Hotel, New Jersey Avenue and E Street, last Friday and Saturday, February 22nd and 23rd. A large delegation attended. Afternoon and night sessions were held Friday and an afternoon session on Saturday. Dr. John H. Love, president of the organization, and also secretary of the North Carolina Industrial Association of Raleigh, N.C., presided at all sessions. Problems affecting the conduct and promotion of fairs were discussed and legislation aiming at more co-operation between the members was passed. A questionnaire covering many subjects was given each member and he was asked to study them. These questions later were taken up in open discussion on the floor of the convention. The members derived much benefit and information from these discussions as they were able to take council with each member present. A number of men prominent in the show business addressed the convention, among whom were S. H. Dudley, R. H. Murray of this city, and J. Garfield Saunders, president of the Lexington, (Ky.) Colored Fair. Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University and William O. Walker of the The Tribune also addressed the organization. Reports from the delegates showed that although most of the fair associations are still struggling, they have never the less made much progress. R. H. Cross of Norfolk, Va., secretary of the organization, was very prominent in all sessions. Office: 920 U St., N.W. S APPROP firmation TOR SMOOT ST HOWARD SITY $500,000 Immediately after the phone message, Senator Lenroot went back to the floor of the Senate and announced that in-as-much as the letter was wholly unauthorized by any University official he would renew his fight for his motion. When adjournment hour came Monday afternoon, the matter was still under discussion and went over until Tuesday. When the fight opened Tuesday several points of order were made by Southern Senators, but in quick succession, each one was defeated by a large vote of both Republicans and Democrats. When the vote on the amendments for the medical school offered by Senator Lenroot was reached, so sure was their passage, that they passed without a record vote being taken. Republican Senate leaders admitted they were very much embarrassed when the Kelly Miller letter was made public as they had committed themselves to this piece of legislation and were prepared to fight for it to a finish. The Miller note had the effect of throwing cold water on the whole fight for awhile and came very near becoming famous as a $500,000 note which would have been a very expensive letter for Howard University. It was this item that President Coolidge asked for in his first message to Congress, and therefore its defeat would have embarrassed the President. Dean Miller told a Tribune reporter that he did not know that the whole appropriation was not in je- (Continued on page 6) Life Insurance a Sociological Factor This is the sixth of a series of articles Prepared for The Federal Life Insurance Company, 1937 11th Street By Simeon Cunningham One of the facts brought forth by the study of sociology is the relation of distribution to the great fabric of material life. It teaches that distribution is necessary in order that other social processes may go on. True it may be that Life Insurance does not directly create material values, but, as a distributing medium it performs an important function. What would be the value of the coal mines in the regions of Pennsylvania if, when needed in the bleak and cold north west, it was not distributed so as to be available for those who need it? Distribution also enhances value. A steer, raised on the level fields of the western prairie regions, is worth more in the stock yards of Chicago than it was when grazing in the fields; it commands a higher price when, as a dressed carcass, it is removed from the refrigerator car in New York than before its slaughter in Chicago, and, when it finds its way upon the block in the corner market, its value has increased thru each step of distribution. The same principle may be applied to the human life, which strictly by itself may have little value, but, as a part of the unit known as the family, we find the individual life has more value. When we view the individual as a part of that unit we call the state, we find it has attained a higher value because the power of its faculties is distributed thru a greater area (Continued on page 3) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. PRIATION WOMEN PURCHASE HEADQUARTERS ON R. I. AVE. Will Soon Start Drive for Ten Thousand New Members Miss Namie H. Burroughs, president of the National Association of Wage Earners, announced this week the purchase of the property on the northeast tcorner of 12th Street and Rhode Island Avenue, northwest.

Se stated that this is a real labor organization with a big constructive program. All membership money will go on the purchase of the home, which will be used as the headquarters of the organization. The Woman Citizen, a magazine edited by white women, in commenting on the movement said: "Up to this time, as far as we know, there has been no conscious direct effort on the part of colored women to help solve this problem. This sort of an organization deserves three cheers."

Jackson, M.D. Since the publication of my recent article on Hospitals and Health, I have received so many requests to say something more upon this subject, that I most gladly yield to this pressure. I certainly ought to know something about the hospital needs of our people inasmuch as I have given the greatest part of my life to hospital work. Having traveled widely throughout the country, opportunity has been afforded to observe the sad lack of health giving institutions in the locations where they are most needed. My students always smile when I begin to quote figures but being rather inclined to swerve toward exactness I find figures most convincing and graphic. In these talks to you, look frequently for figures. As stated in the previous article there are about 144 hospitals in the United States known as "Colored" and catering to Negro patients. Let us say that each has an average capacity of 20 beds a little ordinary arithmetic reveals that the sum total for 12,000,000 Negro citizens is 2880 beds or one bed to each 4166 persons. Then consider the location of these institutions. The largest are in the North where the Negro patient receives a fairly warm welcome to white hospitals. But in the South where almost in every instance, the Negro patient is made to feel unwelcome, unwanted and uncared for, there is a most unfortunate scarcity of Negro hospital beds. In the United States there is an average of one hospital for every 400 white persons. Compare this with one bed to each 4166 persons, which is our ratio and then ask yourself if you are doing your full duty for yourself, your family and your race. The distribution of hospitals in the United States as a whole is very poor and inadequate to meet the needs of the rural communities, which occasions deep concern among the white Public Health Workers. But with us the situation is always more serious and if the matter is ever to be changed we must do it ourselves for ourselves. The lack of hospitalization for the members of our race is one of the weakest links in our program for health and economic betterment, but we can change it if we will. Race Congress Committee Meets Here (Continued from page 1) Amendment. "My bills have died in the Rules Committee," said Mr. Tinkman, "there is where I have had my hardest fights for my resolutions." He said that the Race Congress could help him by getting in touch with the various members of the Rules Committee of the House and press them to report the resolution out. The Howard University matter came up in the committee. Dr. Walter H. Brooks suggested Howard be made a national institution and be taken over by the government and be made the West Point or Annapolis for the Negro. Prof. J. R. Hawkins said that he did not favor that idea for if the Government took it over then we could only have such kind of education as the government saw fit to give, and that would be entangled with red tape and politics. He stated that his church, the A. M. E. raised more than $400,000 a year for the support of their colleges and the race certainly should support one national institution if Congress withdrew its support from Howard. J. A. G. LuValle stated that we boast of our vaunted wealth and the wonderful progress that we have made as a race; we boast of our 50,000 places of businesses, our million of farmers, our more than 600,000 homes, our more than 43,000 teachers, our 72 banks and our big insurance companies and it is a crime and would be a shame for the race to permit Howard University to go down because Congress withdrew its support of $207,000 for maintenance of the University. We need not worry about the $500,000, because President Coolidge is committed for that item, and it will go through.

Howard Alumni to Nominate Members of Board of Trustees The Alumni of Howard University have been granted the privilege by action of the Board of Trustees on February 5th, 1924, of nominating a Trustee to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. James H. N. Waring. This action of the Board represents another step in the forward movement of Howard University in which it is keeping pace with the great educational institutions of the country. It is okey in recent years that the Alumni in many of the great colleges have been accorded this privilege and responsibility. At Dartmouth, it was necessary to have the State Legislature amend the charter, and in many other colleges the charters have been so amended, or the Boards by their own act, have so provided to permit even the most humble graduate to have a voice in the selection of Trustees. The action of the Board of Trustees of Howard University has come in response to the appeal of the Alumni which appeal has always had the hearty endorsement of the President of the University. The matter was first presented to President Durkee in 1919, when Emory B. Smith was President of the General Alumni Association, by a committee consisting of Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, Miss Nellie M. Qunader, and the President of the General Alumni Association. The proposition was taken up and carried on by his successor, Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, with the result that last year Lawyer Thomas Walker, upon nomination of the Alumni, was unanimously selected by the Board of Trustees as Howard's first Alumni Trustee. In June, 1923, it was definitely determined to elect three Alumni Trustees. The manner of their election was determined at the semi-annual meeting of the Board. The following recommendations of the President of the University were adopted by the Board: 1.—There shall be three Alumni Trustees, each elected for a period of three years, one to be elected each year. 2.—No ballots cast for Alumni Trustee shall be carried over from one year to another, but each nomination must be determined by the ballot of the current year. 3.—On October 1st, a primary ballot for nomination of six graduates as choice for Trustee shall be sent to all the Alumni by a committee composed of two representatives from the Alumni Association, one representative from the Alumni at large, one Alumni Trustee, and the Alumni and Field Secretary of the University from the office of Alumni and Field Secretary of the University. 4. Sixty days thereafter, or on December 1st, this same Committee shall meet in session in the office of Alumni and Field Secretary for the purpose of counting the ballots returned and drawing up the final ballot to consist of the six named persons having the largest number of votes; which final ballot will immediately be sent out by this Committee to all the Alumni as in the case of the primary ballot. 5. Sixty days thereafter, or February 1st, 1924, the Committee as stated above, will meet in the office of Alumni and Field Secretary to open and count the final ballots and declare the three names having the largest number of votes to be presented to the Board of Trustees at the February meeting. 6. The Board of Trustees will elect one of the three Alumni nominations at the meeting in June, making formal announcement of their choice at Commencement. 7. Each Trustee thus elected shall serve for a period of three years, when automatically, his term expires. He may be eligible for re-election. Special 1. In consideration of the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. Waring and the desire to elect an Alumni Trustee in June, this above mentioned Committee is hereby authorized to send out a primary ballot to all the Alumni of the University on February 15th, 1924. 2.—Thirty days thereafter, this Committee of five shall meet in the office of the Alumni and Field Secretary and count the returns from the primary ballot, declaring the six names having the highest votes. 3.—Immediately thereafter, a final ballot consisting of the six names declared, as above shall be sent out to all the Alumni by the Committee from the office of the Alumni and Field Secretary of the Univrsity. 4.—Thirty days thereafter or April 23rd, the Committee as stated above shall again meet in the office of the Alumni and Field Secretary to open, count, and select the three names of graduates having the highest votes in the final ballot, which three names shall be presented by mail to each member of the Board of Trustees on or before May 1st. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 National Benefit Making Record (Continued from page 1) There is no other office in Washington which more happily combines the beautiful and the practical than the Northwest District Office at 1209 U Street, Northwest. The structure is a two-story and basement brick building, generously equipped with all modern convenience for business purposes and is a distinct credit to this popular thoroughfare. Its usefulness is accompanied by a simple dignified beauty which differentiates it from these generally attempted. In design and equipment, the building may be compared witt the very finest, and located in the heart of the Negro business, it should prove a singular insurance service station not only for the policy-holders but the public at large. It stands as a monument to the co-operation of Washingtonians and as an evidence of their keen interest in the commercial activity of their group. The remodeling of the building throughout was done by Lee Homer, one of Washington's oldest and best known contractors, under the supervision of Messrs. Vaughn and Ferguson the well known architects. Without exception, the announcement of the Company's progressive strides over the 25 years of genuine service is accepted with the heartest approval. It is too early to judge the value of this corporation but not too soon to know that it accepts your appreciation with a spirit of mutual obligation. In an organization which grows so rapidly as the National Benefit Life Insurance Company there is constant need for men and women to help in the direction of its work. Following the outline of its general management in trying to attain a well balanced programme for the year's activity, the Company is seeking to obtain 500 additional well equipped men and women. The work is worth while and the enduring kind. Now as a matter of self interest and business prudence investigate for yourself. The National cannot control fate but it can both employ and adequately protect you. It is conceived in Service and dedicated to the interests of our people. —adv. B. M. McKay writes to the Tribune explaining the whereabouts of Mr. Flipper. Mr. McKay wrote as follows: "Please permit me to make the following correction. In your issue of the 9th inst. it was stated that Mr. Flipper had gone back to his ranch in New Mexico. Mr. Flipper does not own a ranch in New Mexico, or elsewhere. He is now in Venezuela, doing some engineering work for a New York Company and will probably be there for another year. He left this country April 7, 1923." Life Insurance a Sociological Factor (Continued from page 1) as it is a part of a contribution of a larger number of similar units. But, as a factor in the co-operation and distribution which Life Insurance promotes, the individual life finds its greater value because it then becomes a member of an organization which may comprehend millions of similar unites and, based on the value of each unit, it is here that the unit life, with its component faculties has its influence felt in its greatest, largest sphere. What is true of the individual life as a unit is also applicable to the Company as a unit in the greater unit—the Life Insurance system. The Federal Life Insurance Company is a distributing unit, not only of monetary value, but of racial value. This company seeks to distribute its share where the race, of which it is composed and to which it belongs, may reap the greatest benefits. It seeks, not only to be the "Knight Errant of Mercy" in the hour of physical distress or period of bereavement, but thru the exercise of its endowment features it seeks to aid the thrifty parent to build up senting the formal nomination of the Alumni at June meeting, the Board of Trustees will elect one, making announcements at Commencement. The Committee charged with the responsibility of securing the Alumni nomination consists of Dr. P. M. Murray of New York City, and Attorney Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, nominated by President W. Justin Carter to represent the Alumni Association; Mr. Benjamin Washington, selected as a representative of the Alumni at large; Lawyer Thomas Walker as the Alumni Trustee, and Emory B. Smith, Alumni and Field Secretary. Ballots will be sent out on February 29th. Those graduates not receiving ballots are urged to send in their names and addresses immediately to the Alumni and Field Secretary that they may be provided a financial reserve for the education of the young, or plan a medium thru which the financial aid necessary to establish business may be forth coming. The idea that Life Insurance is only a means to be used in sickness or death is fast being dispelled and the modern and progressive individuals, while not neglecting these features, are stressing life insurance as a business aid and reserve builder. Let a Federal representative explain to you, Mr. Parent, how, without undue financial strain, Federal Life Insurance may be made an important feature in the preparation for the future of your young son or daughter. Insure your children in the Federal Life Insurance Company because it is a Company that appreciates as well as protects their interest. Let them grow with the Company that aids their growth. And you, Mr. Adult Reader, become a part of this growing institution yourself by purchasing the stock issue now being offered for sale to increase its capital stock in order to finance its projected expansion.

The regular Sunday afternoon Vesper Service held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at 4:30 o'clock will be devoted to the celebration of this memorable event in the history of the University. The great growth of Howard University during the past few years has caused greater significance to be attached annually to Charter Day exercises. This event serves to recall to mind the sacrifices and purposes of the founders of the University and in addition develops a reverence for those great traditions which create and foster true University spirit. The Trustees and members of the University faculties will assemble at Carnegie Library Building in cap, gown and hood and march in academic procession to Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel for these exercises. The principal address will be delivered by Dr. D. Brewer Eddy, of Boston, Mass., Secretary of the American Boar dof Commissioners for Foreign Missions. DR.

LEADING MUSICAL COMEDY TO PLAY HOWARD THEATER Not since the days of Williams and Walker, of colored musical comedy fame, has such a talented and splendidly equipped company of colored entertainers taken to the road, as that obtained in the roster of the cast of principals and the massive scenic splendor in "Steppin Out," the attraction that will open for a one-week engagement at the HOWARD THEATER commencing Sunday, March 16th. The chorus, both men and women, are especially selected for their ability to either sing or dance, with the happy result that to see them at work fills one with very pleasurable admiration. They are at once the envy and pride of all colored choruses. The elaborate costumes and massively built stage settings would compare favorably with the largest musical comedies on tour. An excellent cast of funmakers, at the head of which are Billy Higgins and Cliff Ross, comedians par excellence; Ernest Whitman, a performer of high class, possessing a remarkably fine tenor voice; Billy Gunn, the master of terpsichore. Among the female members of the large cast are Susie Sutton, Alice Gorgas, Julia Moody, Aurelia Rogers and Edna Davis. A unique surprise party was given Miss Lueinda Dyer, on the occasion of her birthday, Tuesday, February 26, by her friends at her residence, 1420 5th Street, N.W. The table was beautifully decorated and laden with the choicest of delicacies. She received pretty useful gifts. Dancing was the order of the evening, and all enjoyed a pleasant evening. Among those present were: Misses Eva Holland, Esther Dorsey, Luey Widrick, Elizabeth Fisher, Cora Dyer, Ada Fisher, Dorothy Luckett, Anna Contee, Mabel Simmons; Mrs. Rosa Dines, Mrs. Mabel Gordon, Mrs. Victoria Dickerson; Messrs. Young, Gwarthy, Benjamin Butler, Burts, Charles Robinson, Edward T. Dyer and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Duvall. NEW HOMES In this issue is announced some new homes for sale at Sherman Avenue and Irving streets, built and owned by Messrs. Klavans and Poretsky. This new firm has just begun building houses for colored trade; they are builders and constructors themselves and do all their own work. They intend, according to their agent, to build high-typed homes only with the best materials, and, by doing their own work, they can offer these homes at a much lower cost than the builders who have to pay for labor for construction. They are asking the public to inspect these homes.

SCROLLERS CLUB OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI ENTERTAINS The Scrollers Club of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity entertained the members of Xi Chapter on Thursday evening February 21, at St. Mary's Parish Hall, 23rd at G Street, Northwest. The reception extended from 8:30 thru 12:30 o'clock. The hall was beautifully bedecked with crimson and cream, the fraternity's colors under which 32 couples enjoyed the strains from the Collegiate Troubadours. Favors in horns and caps were awarded. Refreshments were served at intervals. Fourteen members compose the Scrollers Club of Xi Chapter up-to-date. This club made up of prospective entries into the fraternity typifies a group of forward moving young men and upstanding students of Howard University. The reception given was well attended by the Chapter members and was very highly appreciated. Mrs. Edna Perry entertained the Fortnightly Five-hundred Club at her beautiful home with a very unique George Washington's birthday party on last Friday evening. Prizes of baskets and bunches of cut and living flowers were given to the successful players. The tables were beautifully decorated significant of the occasion. Souvenirs were distributed among the guests, and a most appetizing menu was served. Rosetime Revue in Trouble Rosetime Revue in Trouble "Rosetime Revue' which made its second appearance in Washington, at the Howard Theatre last week, came to a sudden halt last Sunday when a member of the company is alleged to have taken the costumes from the theatre. The trouble grew out of money matters between the principals, with some claiming they did not get enough salary. All arguments for a settlement and subsequent return of the costumes were of no avail. The disagreement was not between the management of the theatre and the show as rumored but was between the members of the company. ment of Charles Johnson and is playing at the Blue Room of the Palace Hotel, Baltimore.

Armstrong Basketers on Northern Trip The basketball squad of Armstrong High School seems determined to make an enviable record this year, just as they have in the past. Coach Miller's boys have annexed ten victories in fourteen games played. The latest victims to their floor prowess being Baltimore High School suffering to a score of 24 to 17. The local Y boys tasted the first defeat on their floor this season when the Tech tossers nosed out a victory on Washington's birthday, 34-20. The Delta "5" visited Armstrong on February only to leave on the short end of a 26 to 21 score. The entire squad of Armstrong participates in each game where the score will permit of substitutions. This system of allowing the second and third squad to engage in games is one of the secrets of the continual record of a number of years in which Armstrong has presented such a wonderfully well coached basketball squad. A schedule of twenty-seven games would be impossible were it not for the ability of the boys to absorb the intricacies of the offensive and defensive styles of play as taught from year to year under such competent coaches as Mr. Westmoreland and Miller of the Armstrong faculty. The week of March 3 will see the Orange and Blue boys on a trip to Wilmington, Del., Germantown and Philadelphia, Pa., and Bordentown, N.J., after which the boys will finish their season's schedule here by entertaining several high school teams from West Virginia.

Wilberforce Trims Morehouse Five Wilberforce, February 22—In the most thrilling combat of the season and before the entire student body of Wilberforce University and throngs of visitors from all over the country, Wilberforce defeated Morehouse College here tonight, 38 to 19, for the "Intercollegiate basketball championship." The game commenced with unusual spirit, vigor, and courage on the part of both teams. The Morehouse team did not hesitate in displaying their ambitious inclination, but early in the game, they realized that their long chain of championship was about to be broken. The first half ended, 17 to 10, in the Ohions' favor. There was unusual spectacular playing throughout the entire game. Ward and Willett of Wilberforce were objects of extraordinary attraction for their unrivaled pass work and for their ability to thwart the opponent when in the most difficult positions without losing the ball. The team as a whole was almost perfect, and this fact reflects much credit on the ability and skill of the present coach. Professor Dean Mohr. Wilberforce(38) Morehouse(19) Redden(c) .....F.....

The original stage production was a big success in its time and ran for more than two years at the Empire Theatre. The masterpiece of Stanley Weyman, however, has much wider scope on the screen. The magnificence and the great massive scene which the story entails can be more fittingly represented in a film than could be possible on the speaking stage.

"Don't Call It Love" is a screen version of Julian Street's story, "Rita Coventry." In this picture Wm. deMille has incorporated daring and fascinating scenes to emphasize the sophisticated atmosphere of Julian Street's story. Besides Nita Naldi, the cast includes Jack Holt, Agnes Ayres, Theodore Kosloff, Robert Edson, Rod La Roque and Julia Faye, Miss Naldi enacts the role of Rita Coventry, a famous prima donna. To see the gowns she wears is alone worth the price of admission. A comedy, news reel and other subjects will be shown. Antonio Moreno with Jacqueline Logan, share the honors in "Flaming Barriers" a George Melford production which will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 6, 7, and 8. "Flaming Barriers" is a thrilling and romantic drama. A fire scene forms the climatic episode of the picture. Besides Moreno and Miss Logan, the cast includes Robert McKim, who is cast as the heavy.

She was clad only in a long mantle which swept from her gleaming white shoulders to the small sandals on her faltering feet. With her long golden hair streaming in careless folds from her shoulders she justified the title of the most beautiful woman in the world. The huddled figures alternately sobbed prayers for her deliverance and sang her praise for sacrificing herself to save them. "Monna Vanna" was leaving Pisa to visit the enemy commander in his tent according to the demand made upon the besieged city by the invading general. Her sacrifice was to save the lives of 30,000 starving people. As "Monna Vanna" reached the General's tent she could see outlined against the sky a wagon train carrying food and ammunition for the relief of the stricken city. This scene in "Monna Vanna," Maurice Maeterlinck's great play is one of the most dramatic ever constructed for the stage. The scene caused a sensation both here and abroad when the play was presented as a drama and also as an operatic production. The story has now been recreated for motion pictures.

The case of Walter Cohen demonstrates that we need more Negroes connected with the Democratic party. It is stated that he was defeated by a vote of 37 to 35; and the report went out that no Democrat voted for him. Upon investigation it was learned that Mr. Cohen's friends who were so anxious to put him over, did not seek any support from the Democratic Senators. They were so completely dyed-in-the-wool Republican that they could not face a Democrat to ask him for his vote for Mr. Cohen. Such Democratic Senators as Bruce from Maryland, Nealy from West Virginia, Copeland from New York, Edwards from New Jersey, Bayard from Delaware and Ralston from Indiana are amenable to Negro influence, in fact owe their present positions largely to Negro voters; and if they were properly approached, they would almost certainly render a service in such cases as Cohen's. The vote for the Howard appropriations also brings to light the fact that we have some friends in the Democratic party. Time after time, on various points of order, against Howard University's items, these Democrats supported Howard. This is also true of the Farmer-Laborites, Socialists and Non-Partisan Learners. The time is far past when the color of a man's skin should reveal his politics. A black skin should not mean "Republican" and we are glad to say that it does not always and everywhere do so. The Negro is supposed to be free, and as a free moral agent he should think for himself; have his own opinion about education, religion, prohibition and politics. He should be a Socialist, a Democrat, a Farmer-Laborite or a Republican, according to his way, of seeing the political and economical conditions of the country and their requirements. Note to Senator Smoot Almost Cost Howard $500,000 (Continued from page 1) opardy. When told if he had read the article in last week's Tribune he would have been properly informed, he simply evaded the question. Sharing Dean Miller's view was Prof. D. W. Woodard and Prof. Gregory, who served as lobbyists for the appropriation. Neither of these professors were intelligent enough to find out what had actually transpired right before their eyes on the Senate floor on Thursday, February 21st; although the Tribune carried a full and comprehensive report of the matter last Friday. Dean Miller did not write his note to Senator Smoot until Saturday afternoon, February 23rd, until two days after the point of order had been sustained, leaving the maintenance items saved. tenance items saved. In a statement given to The Tribune this week and published elsewhere in this issue. Dean Miller claims he got his authority from a committee meeting which was held last Thursday, which was attended by Attorney James A. Cobb, Prof. George W. Cook, Dr. Andrew J. Brown, Prof. Hatfield and Dr. Durkee. When asked for a statement Dr. Durkee, president of the university stated that Dean Miller had acted wholly without his authority or the authority of any official of the university. Dr. Durkee stated he could not understand why Dean Miller had written such a note, right at the crucial time of the fight, especially since the maintenance items had been made safe fully two days before. Dean Miller's note caused widespread excitement in Washington. It was the topic for discussion in all walks of life. From a prominent citizen here the layman's point of view was obtained by the Tribune. This citizen stated the affair showed the utter lack of harmony at Howard. It was further pointed out that had the proper officials of the university had been on the job, such an embarrassing situation would not have arisen. Instead of team work in lobbying by the proper officials, a few professors who knew little or nothing of congressional procedure, were dispatched to the Capitol to there lobby for a half million dollar appropriation. The fact that a catastrophe was involved is a miracle. The Tribune learned that conferences are now being held of the powers that be at Howard which may result in some drastic action being demanded at Howard. It was hinted that possibly two resignations may be asked for. It was stated at the Capitol Thursday that the President is very much pleased that the $500,000 item has passed the Senate. Administrative leaders now look with a fair degree of hope that the items will pass the PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 19.

However, it will not be subjected to a point of order now, but the items must be voted on by the House separately. Editor, The Washington Tribune: Concerning the interview which your representative had with President Durke relative to my connection with the Howard University appropriations, permit me to say that I am scrupulously anxious to avoid the impropriety of an open controversy with the President. I think, however, that the public is entitled to a straightforward statement of the facts in the case. The President called a meeting of the several faculty representatives comprising the University Council, on Monday afternoon, February 18th. Among other items considered was the request for faculty co-operation with the administration in pushing the appropriations through Congress. Mr. James A. Cobb, Prof. Harold, Dr. Mr. James A. Cobb, Prof. Harold Hatfield, Dr. Andrew J. Brown, Prof. G. W. Cook and myself, were appointed a committee for this purpose. I was chosen chairman. On the following afternoon the Committee had a conference with the President and Secretary and mapped out a plan of co-operation, and assigned specific duties to each member. It was then agreed that nothing should be done without the knowledge and approval of the administration I engaged to call upon several Senators with whom I had some acquaintance and, also, to write to influential parties to use their good office in our behalf. On Thursday, after the item of $500,000 had been ruled out of the Senate on a point of order I requested the administration to call a council of war to readjust activities in harmony with pending conditions. At this meeting the President presented no general plan of procedure, but stated that "the lid is off, go to it;" and urged upon each member to proceed to influence members of the Senate in any way he knew how and to advise other members of the Faculty to do likewise. Nothing was said concerning insistence upon the medical item which at that time seemed hopelessly lost. At the Senate hearing the President did not request reinstatement of the rejected item in the Senate Bill, fearing presumably, that it would jeopardize the regular appropriations. On this point, I do not wish to misrepresent or to be misunderstood. So I will quote from the Senate hearings: amount restored which the House committee recommended. "Senator Smoot—You want the amount restored which the House Committee recommended. "Doctor Durkee—Just restored, sir. We are not asking anything more." The item was inserted on the insistence of Senator Phipps notwithstanding the hesitancy of the President. At the time of the Conference on Thursday night, all felt that the outlook for the University was perious. Friday was a holiday.

The Famous "Treble Cleff" Music Club Intelligence and education are requisite to a complete understanding and enjoyment of Music, for although music, of all the arts, is par excellence the language of sentiment and the art of producing emotions, it can imitate certain accents of mature without expressing the least sentiment, but to be complete, music must appeal to, and satisfy both sentiment and intelligence, and thus it is that music in its completeness can only be enjoyed by the educated and intelligent There are different degrees of ignorance of Art. The first degree, consists in a repugnance to it, and while it is most rare, is incurable. A second degree will apply to individuals born in obscurity, and remote from opportunities of being brought in contact with the educative influence of Art in her various forms, and while their ignorance is absolute, their negative relation to the arts may be but temporary, and does not necessarily imply positive aversion. The third degree, pertains to those who, while constantly being brought face to face with music, painting or architecture, give them but a passing attention, observing neither their defects tion seemed desperate to us all. If the President had any different information, he kept it locked in the deep recesses of his own mind. Failure of the appropriations would have meant the paralysis of Howard University and the setting back of the higher opportunities of the Negro race for half a generation. No true son of Howard could hesitate or haggle over technicalities at such a critical time as this. On Saturday morning, after conference and consultation, I went to the office of Senator Smoot to find out the exact parliamentary status of the Howard University matter. He had gone to a committee room and could not be seen until the Senate opened. His clerk advised me to make a memorandum of the matter that I wished to present to him. I wrote on a blank sheet of paper with lead pencil a note to the purport that in case it seemed that the $500,000 item would jeopardize the normal appropriation of Howard University, it might be well not to insist upon its inclusion. The memorandum was signed in my name without any title or description whatsoever. This expressed the combined judgment of every member of the Faculty and of the administration whom I had consulted up to that time. I then went to Senator Phipps' office where I learned that the item would be fought vigorously on the floor of the Senate. I then saw Senator Curtis, the "whip" of the Senate, who explained his negative vote on Thursday, and stated that he would rush the $500,000 item vigorously unless or until it might seem to jeopardize the regular and normal University appropriations at which point he would I had no idea that Sena- would submit this mem- nor their beauties, and yet.ultimately come to receive from them a certain degree of unreflecting enjoyment. I repeat that education is necessary to the enjoyment of Art. We cannot enjoy music, I use the term in its fullest sense, unless we understand it, and we cannot understand it unless we have studied and become educated in its principles. The artless think they enjoy art, and so they do enjoy that which is more or less an exact imitation of the material; their enjoyment of music is made up of light songs, and the dance, which affect the grosser senses. It is one thing to feel the emotions produced by music, but it is an entirely different thing to judge of the cause or of the affect of the emotion produced. To feel, is common to the whole human race; to judge, is the province of the skillful, such as "The Treble Cef" a music study Club of women, organized in 1897 by the late Mrs. Myme Hilyer. It has had regular meetings every two weeks beginning with the first Wednesday in October and ending in May each year. All phases of music, vocal and piano, have been studied during its twenty-five years of existence and the program for this year is as follows: (1923-24), Oct. 3, Introductory Meeting; Oct. 17, "Dance Music in the Middle Ages," Miss Williamson; Oct. 31, "La Dance Macabre," Miss V.

The Object of the Club is to promote love for a higher class of music. Every year they give a public programme without any charge to encourage public hearing in the development of this program which indeed is worthy. The following prominent ladies hold membership: Misses Mary Euroe Marie James, Lucy Moten Esteie Pinkney, Essie Tucker, Virginia Williams, Jennie Williamson Madames A. P.

Alston Burleigh recently appointed to the music department of the public schools will have charge over orchestral work in the grades and at Junior High. orandum to Senator Lodge or Senator Lenroot or have it read upon the floor of the Senate. It so happened, however, that this was done and caused some confusion in handling the extra appropriation for the Medical School. However, the Secretary and President were put in touch with the situation and the item passed triumphantly. I might add that up to Saturday morning I had kept in close touch with the administration and members of the Faculty all of whom at that time, had given up hope of the $500,-000 item. No one at that time could forse or predict that it would be forced through the Senate as a matter of political expediency. For three days I camped on the flanks of the Senate. While passing through the halls of the Senate Building, I ran across Roscoe Simmons, Lincoln Johnson, Perry Howard and Walter Cohen, fighting for the latter's confirmation as Controller of Customs at New Orleans, or the right of the Negro to hold office in the South. I was glad to get in a word with Senators for Cohen. However, since all is well that ends well, we are all delighted at this unexpected good turn of affairs and hope that the matter will have triumphant passage through the House of Representatives. I deeply regret, however, that, as often happens, service is requitted with criticism. The Zaza Art Circle of Southeast was entertained by Mrs. Mayne Dickerson Wednesday evening, February 20th.

The psychology of the nation is grasped. Our reaction to political wrong-doings, national hard-times, is carefully calculated. We are told that the party in power is responsible, and we believe it. We are told that, if the other party is given power, we shall have rich crops, fine prices for manufacturers, good wages for labor,—in short everybody's pocket will be filled, and we believe it. But in reality, we have the same medicine giver to us in different doses. Slogans are High Finance's greatest means of deception. "He Kept Us Out of the War" was one which caused many an aching heart. "Get the Government Out of Private Business" will cause equally as many, though the ache differs in degree. The latter slogan misled the public and made it easy for get-rich-quick men, through public officials, to dispose of the property of the American people to speculators. Some 228,000 or more oil acres have been turned over to private persons under the oil-leasing act, of which 52,000 acres are contained in the Teapot Dome reserve. The rich coal mines in Alaska have been abandoned to purchase coal from private concerns. Munition plants lie idle while powder is bought from private manufacturers. In many instances, certain individuals have been given leases of highly profitable property for a long term of years. The Obregon Government receives official recognition by the United States Government in proportion to the respect shown American oil concessionaries. The Columbian treaty is an oily treaty purported to protect private American oil interests. In short, the whole policy is to fleece the American public and to make business of High Finance, business government. The source of all this is not to be attributed to Secretary Denby who divested himself of control of the naval oil reserve given him by Act of Congress June 4, 1920, nor to the Secretary of the Interior who accepted the transfer of control, not to Mr. Harding who stupidly issued the order transferring the control of the naval oil reserve from the Navy Department to the Interior Department, but to High Finance who, through the delegates assembled in a room in the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago, June 19, 1920, nominated Warren G. Harding for the Presidency. It was then that the Teapot Dome was given away, and the coal mines of Alaska abandoned, and perhaps much more as yet unknown. It was then that the conspirators began to take the government out of business in the eyes of the public and to put it into business in the eyes of the get-rich-quick men and speculators. The aftermath of the World War has had its effect upon the currency of the whole world. Gold is the recognized standard. The United States has cornered five times as much gold as is now in possession of the whole British Empire, namely, $3,920,-000,000, having for the year 1923 a net monthly import of gold at a rate of some $25,000,000. This is just what High Finance expected. Therefore we have public officials whose sole aim is to help their friends and supporters, to see that these get good opportunities to make money, and to help them out when they are in trouble; politicians who train the voters to vent their anger upon the party in power if things go wrong or break bad; men who make it easy for High Finance, through the government, to fleece the public. But thanks to the student of Experience, we are slowly, but surely learning to register doubt as to the legal qualifications and personal reputation of those selected by our National Committee. We are learning to study the man. It is he who has a principle, and is unswerving in his efforts for the common good of all that we will in the future elect.

St. Valentine day is celebrated on the 14th of February, usually by sending valentines or other gifts, or having parties or dances. The practice of young people is the choosing of valentines on that day, and sending missives of expression of love; generally no names are signed to the missives. The early form of valentine cards was ridiculous pictures in colors, of a male or female person with a few burlesque verses concerning them. St. Valentine was a bishop of Rome, during the third century. He was of a very amiable nature, and possessed remarkable gifts of eloquence, and was very successful in converting the pagans. He was put to death, and became a martyr in 306 A.D. --- 10c Life PAGE SEVEN —Dunbar Valentine 22 Cents ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS | Y.W. C. A.

IN MEMORIAM CARTER-In sad but loving remembrance of my devoted mother, Rosa Carter. The month of March is here. To me the saddest of the year. Because two years ago to-day My dear sweet mother passed away. No one knows how I have missed you In the years that have gone by— Where you left me sad and lonely For your home up in the sky. What would I give to clasp your hand, Your loving face to see, Your pleasant smile, made life worth while. Which meant the world to me. Too sweet to live, too loving to stay God sent an angel and took you away Often to the graveyard I wander Flowers to lay with loving care, On the grave of my dear mother. Who is sweetly sleeping there. Her devoted daughter IN MEMORIAM YOUNG—In sacred memory of my loving and devoted mother, Hattie E. Young, who departed this life March 2, 1923. Mother! Oh how sweet the name! I cannot e'er forget. You are helped most when you help yourself. Please assist the Tribune publishers in getting better postal delivery of your paper.
