AMPLE REPRESENTATION ON D.C. RENT COMMISSION IS AIM Asst. Secretary of State Distorts Facts in Reply on Civil Service Segregation Attorney Thos. L. Jones Urges Senator Ball to Make Amendments to Bill Providing for Race Appointments Survey shows many Cases of Exorbitant Rents with no one on Commission who thoroughly understands conditions. Many houses are crowded and unsanitary. Will take fight to President. First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 43 AMPLE R Asst. Secre Attorney Thos Ball to M Providi Survey shows many Cas mission who thorou are crowded and The progressive group of Colored people of the District of Columbia are now preparing for a fight to a finish for representation on the D. C. Rent Commission. A bill is now pending in Congress making this body a permanent one. As now constituted, the commission is composed of five white and no colored. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, addressed a letter to Senator Ball, chairman of the District Committee asking the Senator to propose an amendment to this bill providing for Negro representation on the commission. Attorney Jones suggests that a man and a woman be appointed as representatives of the Negro race. Attorney Jones makes a forceful argument in his letter which was as follows: "I desire to call your attention to the condition of things bearing on the question of the extension of the Bell Rent Commission Law. In doing so I desire to say that, notwithstanding the fact that the colored people constitute one-fourth of the population of the District of Columbia, ninety percent of whom are rent payers, they have no representation on the Rent Commission, and, so far as I know, and have been advised, very little attention has been paid to them when they did make a complaint. "As a Lawyer, I very seriously doubt the advisability of such laws. In my opinion they have a tendency to increase rent, instead of diminishing it. At least they prevent the erection of small houses that would relieve my class from poor conditions in living quarters. This is borne out FIFTH ANNUAL GO-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE TO START SOON "Go to High School—Go to College week" pronounced by leading educators as the most forward-looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students will be observed this year throughout the United States during the week of May 4-11, inclusive, by the 50 odd chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. This year marks the fifth annual conduct of this great nation-wide campaign to encourage Negro youths to continue their education. The campaign to be waged this year promises to be more effective than those of previous years. In addition to the meetings to be held in the various cities of the country, plans are under way to have the gospel of "Stay in High School, and Go to College" broadened from the important radio broadcasting station in every large city in America. UNIVERSITY WOMEN WILL GATH ER HERE The National Association of College Women will hold its second annual meeting in Washington, April 25 and 26. The Association held its first meeting here last April, upon the invitation of the local College Alumnae Club and formed a temporary organization with Dean Lucy D. Slowe, of Howard University, president. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly REPRESENT Ministry of Stat os. L. Jones U Make Amend ling for Race A cases of Exorbitant Rent oughly understands con unsanitary. Will tak by the fact that I see by the report of your investigation Committee, in regard to the subject, there is a scarcity of houses for living quarters in the District of Columbia renting for less than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) a month, in spite of the fact that these laws have been in existence for six or seven years. "However, I do not want to get away from my object, and that is, if the Ball Rent Law is to be extended, a hundred and ten thousand colored people of the District of Columbia, ninety per cent of whom are rent payers, demand that they shall have a representation of at least two members on said Commission, one man and one woman. "In order that there shall be no mistake, or failure in regard thereto, I respectfully request you, as Chairman of said Committee, to propose an amendment to said Bill, in such behalf, and to urge its adoption. "Hoping this letter will receive you early and favorable consideration I am, Yours very respectfully." In addition to the number of coloured organizations that are now lining up to support race representation on the commission there are a number of white people who are in favor of giving the Negro representation. A number of these white people have stated their views on this subject to this paper and to prominent citizens of the city. MassMeeting on Segregation Sunday A big mass meeting on residential segregation will be held Sunday April 13th at 4 p.m. at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Chhrh. The meeting will take up segregation cases originating from the sale of certain property in the 17:00 block on S Street. Many notable speakers are on the program including W. Ashbie Hawkins, Esq. Baltimore, Md., leader in segregation fight in Baltimore; Shelby J. Davidson, Esq. executive secretary, N.A.A.C.P.; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, secretary, National Race Congress; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell; Rev. Charles E. Stewart, patsor, Metropolitan A.M.E. Church; Mr. Maurice E. Spencer, Equal Rights League; Dr. C. W. Childs; Dean Dudley W. Woodard, Howard University; Prof. Kelly Miller, presiding. A committee composed of permanent clergymen, teachers and businessmen will have charge of the meeting. In speaking of the meeting, Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University stated that the situation is serious and should be immediately attended to or the matter of living in D. C. will be dictated by a few prejudiced white people. A large crowd is expected to turn out. No cement will ever mend a broken promise. --- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 Rent conditions in Washington are far worse now than they were three years ago. The Tribune this week came across a case where the rent on a house was raised from $15 to $50. This is one of the many of such cases, in which the poor people are the victims. Conditions among the colored tenant are far worse than among the whites. While the amounts of money involved are not possibly as much, the suffering is far greater. Houses that formerly rented for $15 and $20, now rent for $50 and $60. This is entirely an exorbitant rental and forces more people to live in a house, in order that the occupants can pay the rent. The condition in a measure is responsible for the very large death rate here. Many of the houses are old and have no water and bath. They are as unsanitary as a house can be and still are rented. In a number of cases the owners force the tenants to make their own repairs. When the cases go before the Rent Commission, there is no one on the commission who understands them in their proper light. It is impossible for white people who live in $150, $200, and $300 per month apartments to imagine the condition of houses in which some colored people are forced to live. Naturally when such cases come before the commission, they doubt the truth of the statements. What is needed at once, if much suffering is to be prevented, is for President Coolidge to support the demand for an amendment to the rent act providing for the appointment of at least two colored people. LILY-WHITES AT IT AGAIN IN THE SOUTH LILY-WHITES AT IT AGAIN IN THE SOUTH In a letter to Chairman John T. Adams of the National Republican Committee, Dr. George E. Cannon, president of the National Colored Republican Conference, calls attention to the lily-white policy used by National Committeeman Tolbert of South Carolina and National Committeeman Hemmel of Arkansas, in the selection fact, that the last national convention. According to Dr. Cannon's letter, when it became known that Negro delegates were likely to be elected, these national committeemen deliberately split the organization and carried their convention to places where Negroes were barred. Dr. Cannon also calls Mr. Adams' attention to the fact, that at the last national convention adopted a resolution condemning the policy of carrying conventions to places where Negroes could not enter. In closing his letter, Dr. Cannon says: "We do not wish to enter the coming campaign with any handicap, but allowing the 'lily white' policy to be exercised in the South constitutes a serious handicap to the colored republicans in the North, and we feel it our duty to ourselves and to our brothers in the South to use all the force at our command as republicans to overthrow this nefarious system known as the 'lily white' policy. We not only denounce the 'lily white' policy with all of the power that we PUBLIC HEARINGS ON INTER- RACIAL COMMISSION BILL NEXT WEEK - Hearings on the Inter-racial Commission bill which was introduced in the House last winter will be held in the House Judiciary Committee room, Thursday, April 17th at 10 a.m. A number of prominent colored citizens will appear before the committee in behalf of the bill, among whom will be Dr. Byrd of New Jersey City and Mr. Andrews of Baltimore, Md. Much interest is being manifested in this bill. A large crowd is expected to attend the hearings. LOCAL MINISTER LEADING WALKER CONTEST Candidates must hustle as Contest will close in three months Indianapolis, Ind., April 5, 1924—With but three more months to run the Grand Trip to the Holy Land Contest being conducted by the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co., of this city continues to prove itself the outstanding event of Negro commercial life. The contestants for the free trips to Palestine and Paris are waging a relentless campaign, both in the section where they reside and throughout the nation. Entrants from Georgia are receiving votes from New York. Washington, D.C. is helped by Tennessee and even far off California is doing her share. Place of residence is making no difference for many of the contestants are national figures and as such are receiving support from throughout the land. The contest reflects the national popularity of the entrants therein. Just three more months, April, May, and June, of the race remain to be run. The contestants have issued appeals to their individual workers and admirers everywhere urging their personal support in the next three months by liberally buying Madam C. J. Walker's thirteen toilet articles and using the coupons found in each package to vote for them. They are further asked to use their influence with their friends in the contestant's behalf. The contestants have made it clear, how better they shall be prepared to serve Christianity if they can visit Palestine without cost to themselves. On April 1, the following men were leading the field. Even though they represent but ten of the 358 contestants, elsewhere in this paper will be found the standing of those of this district not mentioned herein. 1. Bishop W. A.

MMISSIO At the time the contest was called off Miss Violet Meyer, white, was leading; with Miss Marion Cooper, white, second; while Miss Derrick was third. Mr. Dave Cooper, a well known flushing builder, and father of Miss Marion Cooper, who was second, stated that the action of the Twigs looked to him like a pretty rough propositoin. "No mater who was entered in the contest, the Green Twigs should have gone ahead with it. So far as there being a Colored girl in the contest is concerned, all I can say is that in this country everybody stands on their own feet, black or white and all are supposed to have the same start."

RACE CONGRESS TO HEAR SENA-TOR BORAH Many important topics will be taken up by the convention Through the legislative or information bureau which the National Race Congress proposes to establish here soon after its annual session beginning here on the 29th, where information pertaining to all phases of racial life and welfare will be collected for use in fighting for the rights of the colored group and which will be available for distribution throughout the country to interested persons, organizations, newspapers, etc., the question of disfranchisement of the Negro in certain sections of this country will come immediately under attack. Representative George Holden Tinkham of Mass., author of a resolution in the federal congress proposing a reduction in representation of those States which deny citizens the right to vote, has tentatively agreed to address the Race Congress on this issue. As a prelude to the attack upon the laxity of the system that allows of such discrimination on account of color in spite of Constitutional guarantees to the contrary notwithstanding, the Race Congress in this session will resolve itself to the task of arising public interest to the point that it will insist upon the enforcement of ALL Amendments to the Constitution, including the 14th and 15th. Borah on Law Enforcement And that it is determined to spare no efforts to bring this issue squarely before the country is evidenced by the militant spirit and resolute determination with which the Race Congress is taking up the night. Men and women of both races and of the highest standing and prestige having interest in this work are being invited to address the sessions on these subjects. The committee, therefore, has been Honorable William E. Borah, senator from Idaho and adjudged one of the leading Constitutional lawyers of this country, to consent to deliver an address on this occasion. All will remember Senator Borah for his timely, unsolicited defense on the floor of the United States Senate of the John Sharp Williams "black brute" following the race riots here a few years ago. And only a few months ago, when a conference on enforcement of the 18th Amendment was being held here to arouse the public against the liquor traffic, Senator Borah, speaking at one of the sesions, observed that other Amendments, including the 14th and 15th, are being flagrantly violated without apparent concern on the part of the public generally. Baseball Parade Idea Popular Much interest is being manifested in the opening of the Eastern League baseball season here April 24th. Already, fans are signing up for places in the parade. Manager, Ben H. Taylor of the local club, is now active in getting his team ready for the opening. This is the first year Washington has had a league team. Many fans are anxious that Washington continue in the league and are doing all they can to arouse the interest here. The big feature of the opening day will be a grand street parade. The success of this parade depends on the public's enthusiasm. It is the hope of the management to have at least fifty cars in line. Following the precedent established last year, each car that is entered in the parade will receive a free pass to Office: 920 U St., N.W. COLORED REPUBLICANS TO MEET IN ATLANTIC CITY Arrangements are now being made by officers of the National Colored Republican Conference for their convention which will be held in Atlantic City on July 3rd. Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City is president and Mr. James E. Keford is secretary. This organization recently protested the lily policy in the South. The conference, while republican, is nevertheless independent in politics and matters concerning the Negro race. PREJUDICE STOPS POPULARITY CONTEST Fear that Colored girl might win caused action is claim Brooklyn, N. Y.—The popularity and beauty contest which was begun by the Green Twig Society of Flushing, Long Island, was abruptly called off last Friday because a young Colored girl, Miss Dorothy Derick, was among the leaders. The Green Twig Society induced the editor of a Flushing newspaper, to run the contest through his paper to get the public to buy tickets for their ball. The one receiving the highest number of votes from tickets sold was to be elected queen of a Spanish carnival that was to be given by the society. Shortly after the contest started, Miss Derick forged to the front and held her position among the leaders until the contest was called off. The calling off of the contest has caused much dissatisfaction among the citizens of Flushing. Mrs. Joseph Derrick, mother of Miss Dorothy, in an interview sald she failed to see any reason for discontinuing the contest. "Even if Dorothy had won the contest she would not have atted the Twig's ball," said Mrs. Derrick. "So far as Dorothy and her standing in Flushing are concerned, I might say that she has been brought up in environments equal to the best brought up Flushing girls. Our family has been in Flushing for many years and we know how our neighbors feel toward us. Dorothy has been brought up to feel proud of her race and she apologizes to nobody because she is Colored." Washington's Best Advertising Medium. ON IS AIM Segregation B.M.McKAY MAKES STINGING REPLY GIVING FACTS Sect'y Fails to act although letter was addessed to Segregation in the Civil Service departments of the government, has found a defender in the State Department in the person of the Third Assistant to Secretary Hughes. This assistant is answering the correspondence relative to the appointment and subsequent dismissal of a colored woman in the State Department, made a very weak excuse, and even in doing this, greatly distorted the facts,/ It is known that the segregation policy is as strong in the State Department now under Secretary Hughes as it ever was during the Demographic administration. In fact, instead of conditions generally becoming better, they are gradually getting worse. There are hundreds of Colored clerks now in Washington, who have passed civil service examination for certain jobs, but are denied the right to hold these positions simply because they are colored. Mr. B. M. Kay is the one who made this correspondence publicly known, and has replied to the letter from the Third Assistant Secretary, and in his letter gives the complete history of the case. The correspondence follows: Sergt B. M. McKay, 1340 Corcoran St., N.W. Washington, D. C. Sir: The Department acknowledges receipt of your letter of March 3 in which you allege discrimination in the government service against colored civil service eligibles and call attention to two typical cases of this nature which, it is alleged, occurred in the Department of State; that of Mrs. John H. George of 1319 Q Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.; and that of an unnamed young colored woman of New Orleans, who, you state, reported for duty in response to a telegram from this Department, and upon reporting, was denied an appointment and therefore had the expense of her trip from New Orleans for nothing. Your complaint respecting the two cases above referred to has been given the Department's attention.

The first two selected were Frederick Douglass and Prof. George Washington Carver. Last week the committee announced the selection of Madam C. J. Walker and James Weldon Johnson. W. E. B. DuBois and Henry O. Tanner are the two announced by the committee this week. Dr. Dubois is named according to the committee in charge, because of his activities in committee because of his activities in the literary field. The committee labels him as a great scholar. Henry O. Tanner, according to the committee, is one of America's greatest painters. Many of Tanner's works hang in the leading salons and art museums of Europe and America. The committee will continue its policy of naming two persons each week until the whole ten have been named. ```markdown ``` LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Mrs. W. M.

TO CELEBRATE SEVEN YEARS SERVICE Next Sunday marks the completion of seven years in the pastorate of the Rev. J. L. S. Holloman at Second Baptist Church. The church has greatly prospered during his ministry. A debt of more than $25,000 has been paid. Nearly $1200 has been expended on improvements. The spiritual life of the church has been greatly strengthened. This year the church will entertain the great Lott Carce convention.

It was not an uncommon thing to see three or four feminine heads having or waiting their turn to have their crowning glory crowned. Girls, mothers, and grand-mothers—all have accepted the bobbed-haired fad lest they go without their Easter millinery. An interesting incident occurred in one of the local shops recently. A middle-aged woman sat in the barbers' chair and said, "This is my hair, but I bought it. Trim it just as you did hers." pointing to a young lady who had just left the chair. And lo! and behold! it was real, honest-to-goodness false hair. HARMONOUS QUARTETTE TO MAKE RECORDS The Harmonious Quartette, a local product, left last Monday night for New York City. It has been engaged by the Vocalion Record Co. of New York. The quartet will specialize in Negro Folk Songs. It has been heard frequently since September last from broadcasting station WRC. Several requests for encores were made for each rendition. Perhaps it is best known and remembered as the quartet which sang during the performances of Salome. Then it was young, in the making, yet encores were so in demand that they hod to be refused lest the performance of the drama be delayed. Those composing the quartet are: Galore C. Carwell, first tenor; Charles C. Brokos, second tenor; J. B. Lee, baritone; and Lewis C. Minor, basso. Dean Lucy D. Stowe of Howard University spoke last Sunday at the Y.W.C.A.

Church completed on April 9th a special course in the Hebrew School of Washington. Rev. Russell was the only colored person in the school and notwithstanding, all of the studies were in Hebrew. Rev. Russell finished among the first in his class. The course taken by him was practically the same course given Jewish students who plan to become Rabbis. Rev. Russell who is an astute biblical student took the course in order to further his knowledge of the Hebrew language. The course has given him a thorough knowledge of Hebrew and he is now able to both read and write in Hebrew. In addition to the diploma given Rev. Russell by the Hebrew School, he was given a certificate signed by Rabbi M. Freli Coff. Rabbi Coff in speaking of Rev. Russell's ability said, "Rev. Russell matriculated in the Hebrew School of Washington two years ago for the express purpose of gain a deeper knowledge of the Hebrew language. He is able to read and thoroughly understand in the original Hebrew language the text of the Holy Scriptures, the Torah, the Neveim, the Thethilim as well as the Tephilas THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 Yisroel, and the Pirke Haavoth.

He has completed with distinction and credit the course of study given him." Rev. Russell received his Doctor's degree at Payne College, Augusta, Ga. He came to Israel Church two years ago and during his pastorate paid off a $9,000 mortgage that had been standing against the property for over fifty years.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky so it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

Coupled with what turned out| to be rather air-tight pitching, heavy and opportunie hitting, and sensa- tional fiekling, Hampton won the game by a 4-3 score. Both pitchérs were very effective. Ruffin settled down and was unhitta- ble. Both struck out six players a- piece. Several of the fielding features of the fame were: Jacob's eatching of a fast one off th ebat in a difficult position; Lambright’s all-round fielding; and a fast double play, Jacobs to Johnson to Gunn in the eighth ending a St. Paul rally.

Colored baseball fans in Washington are more interested in the opening cf Clark Griffith's Nationals on April 15, than Ben Taylor’s Potomacs on April 26th. For years we have been trying to fathom this mania Negroes have for white professional baseball. We helieve it is spurred by the de- sire to see the best in the sport. That white pro baseball is superior to that of our group in most places there is no denying but each year finds Negro baseball going on to better things and but for the lack of proper support greater progress would be shown. i We know that there is no place for Negro ball players in white organized baseball, Unlike old timers, big league clubs rarely consent to meet colored clubs now, for fear of being defeated. Why then, should we: continue to support, foster and fill the coffers of a national enterprise that has no place ‘or future for men of color, although they have the ability to make the grade. No white man has yet done anything with a baseball and bat that a Negro ean not do, The writer, a baseball fan almost from infancy, once worshipped major league baseball. But those days are gone forever. Last year we saw the ‘Griffs play two games, On the other hand, we missed but one of the Poto- “mae games—and on that day we were at the Howard track meet. | When the Potomaes were on the road if Howard had a game scheduled we visited the campus, if not, we journeyed to the Monument Lot, Dean- wood, Brookland or Southwest Washington and lamped the Twilight and Departmental League Clubs. And we got pjgnty of thrills, so much so that this will be our program again this season, In other words, that is what fe coming baseball season means-to us. NEW YORK OR ATLANTIC CITY MAY GET “CLASSIC” Last Saturday, the Washington Herald, carried the story that “Mayor Ed- | ward L. Baker is making strenuous efforts to land for Atlantic City the! annual football game between Lincoln and Howard.” Sometime ago, we were informed that groups of Lincoln and Howard Alumni are interested | in having the “classic” played at one of New York’s baseball parks. | ‘These announcements should nov disturb District football fans, for the’ “classic” will be played here on next Thanksgiving and every second second Thanksgiving, thereafter. ‘There may be a possibility that Philadelphia will lose the game, Of course, Lincoln uuthorities make the selection every other year and it would not be at ull surprising to learn that the 1925 “classic” has beeh shifted from. the Quakertown to some other city, : / Followers of “Judge” Smith's war- riers claim that the “city cliamps’ were off-form or otherwise a victory would have been vhalked up.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request THE RENT COMMISSION AND WELFARE BOARD There are two bills now pending in Congress of vital import to the colored citizens of Washington. They are House bill 7,962, which is to continue the Rent Commission. It provides for five members who are to give their entire time to adjusting rents in the District. We have had a rent commission here for the past five years but the time of that commission has been taken up with the matter of rents for the big apartment houses and large homes so that the poor people, who have actually suffered most from the rent hogs and profiteers, have had the least attention. Therefore, since there are more than 112,500 Negroes in the District, with a possible seventy-five per cent of them renting, it would be equitable, honorable and right to have two Negroes as members of the rent commission. There are hundreds of instances where the rents of the homes in which colored people live, have been boosted from $15 to $50 and from $25 to $75 and more, without any redress whatever. The District Committee has reported that in an investigation of rent conditions here, the commission found more than 400 houses and apartments vacant, with only 27 of them renting for $50 or less. This is concrete evidence of the vital need of two colored persons on the rent commission who can give their attention to adjusting the smaller rents which the commission has heretofore passed up. While rents of $50 to $75 may appear small for the commission to condescend to give attention to, there are more people actually affected by rents in that range than there are above that amount. Therefore, every civic organization of this city should make a direct appeal to the District Committee of which Senator Ball is Chairman, for an amendment to the rent bill so that it will specify that there shall be two Negroes on the commission. The other bill is to establish a Board of Public Welfare in and for the District of Columbia. This Board is to have nine members who are to hold office for six years, with three members appointed every two years, after the first two and four year terms have been served. This bill says that appointment to the Board shall be made without discrimination as to sex, color, religion or political affiliation. We already have a precedent for the membership of this Board in the membership of the School Board, which has nine members, three of which are colored. Since the Board will have exclusive and complete control over the twelve institutions to which colored people are admitted there should be three colored persons as members of this public welfare board. Proportional representation on each of these commissions should concern every organization in the District; and appeals for the same should be made to the Senate-District Committee for the rent bill to carry that specification. We are paying our taxes here and the assessor places heavy tax burdens on the colored as well as the white people. Taxes do not seem to know any color. Rents are higher for colored people here than they are for white people in like houses. Thousands of colored people are kept in almost abject poverty trying to meet the exorbitant rents being charged here and we need persons on the rent commission who will hear and be interested in our pleas and act upon them, giving all the relief possible. Just think of persons having to spend from fifty to sixty per cent of their salaries for rent. That is what hundreds of poor colored people are forced to do. This forces the mother and even the children out to work, when actually the mother should be at home and the children in school. No city, no state, and no country, can advance very fast when its economic conditions force mothers into gainful employment with small children of tender years at home all day without her care and attention. The forcing of children to work when they should be in school compels them to grow up in ignorance, and often results in poverty because of that ignorance. Therefore, the Negroes of Washington demand two members of the rent commission and three members of the welfare board. PAGE SIX THE WASHINGTON TRIBU 920 U Street, N.W.

In accordance with the Department's custom she was called in to ascertain her qualifications for the work in hand and the fact of the interview could not be considered a commitment to her subsequent appointment. The Department has frequently found it necessary to withhold appointments from eligibles interviewed and this has been done without respect to race or creed. The Department has no record of the instance mentioned by you of the young colored woman from New Orleans, nor is it recalled by those responsible for matters of personnel. It would appear that you have been misinformed respecting the incident in question. I am. Sir. Your obedient servant. For the Secretary of State: Third Assistant Secretary Washington, D.C. April 2, 1924 Hon. Charles E. Hughes. Secretary of State. My dear Sir: On March 3, 1924. I wrote you a letter complaining of violations by the appointment clerk of your department of civil service law. I cited two cases, namely, that of Mrs. John S. George, of 1319 Q Street, Northwest, and a young lady from New Orleans. I received a reply from the Third Assistant Secretary of State in which he denies in toto the charges filed by me. He says, "In accordance with the custom of the department, Mrs. George was called in to as certain her qualifications for the work in hand and the fact of the interview could not be considered a commitment to her subsequent appointment." The honorable Assistant Secretary THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 has been badly imposed upon. Mrs. George was not called in at all. She was called on the telephone and asked if she would accept an appointment at a certain figure. She replied, yes, and she was told to report the next day for work that was about 10 a.m. That same afternoon she was called again on the phone and informed, that she need not report, that a mistake had been made, and that the department was not in need of a clerk. She was appointed, her appointment revoked all in one day without her being in the presence of any official of the state department. The records of the civil commission show that the state department called for eligibles capable of working on passports, the main factor being good penmanship. In that line, Mrs. George stands preeminent, being an expert in penmanship, but she is Colored and we all know from experience what happened. The officials in charge of this matter sought around between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and discovered that fact and then made the further discovery that a mistake had been made. That is an old dodge that has been invoked repeatedly under Democratic rule and is still being practiced by hold-over Democrats and "illy-white" Republicans. So far as calling in eligibles to ascertain their qualifications for the work the presumption is that the civil service commission performs that function. If officials can determine in a five-minute interview the qualifications of persons for a certain line of work, why then, the civil service commission is a useless adjunct to our system of government, and ought to be abolished in the interest of economy. I note that the honorable assistant secretary, says the "department has given this matter consideration" and so forth. My complaint was addressed to the head of the department. It is of sufficient gravity to receive his personal attention. It touches a matter that is going to cut a large figure in the ensuing campaign, and further is to find its way direct to the President. I ask now that the whole matter be brought to his attention in order that Our Next President Better Race Relations A Southern Tour Dean Hawkes and Race Prejudice The Great Teacher "As the old birds sing the young ones twitter." PETER H. twitter." About this time, political organizations are busy either starting some partisan propaganda or finding some political slogan with the hope of ensnaring their countrymen. Some insidious I. L. Parker gospel such as favoring peace, war, the League, "wet," "dry," oil, et cetera, is to be expected. Rarely ever is an era more ripe for such stupendous propaganda to serve every personal, patriotic, commercial, and political purpose. Yet, despite the non-partisan and impartial manner in which oil has splashed about, we venture to suggest an old propagandist method so often and effectively used in days of old by religious cults and perhaps once or twice by political organizations. This method consists in finding the Man—not a slogan—whose honesty and character inspire, in those who meet him, a stupendous and pervasive propaganda in his favor; and so exalting this man—of such blazing and aggressive good will, sincerity, character—that the news and conviction of his honesty infects by contagion the whole country, or enough of it to effect his election. This is merely a practical suggestion and not a counsel of perfection. The Party which uses this method is the Party which will produce our next President. The secretary of the Georgia Race Relations Committee, Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., has announced the employment of Rev. J. W. Jackson as colored associate secretary. Rev. Jackson enjoys a wide acquaintance throughout the State of Georgia, having been field worker for the General Missionary Baptist Convention for eight or ten years in that State. This, together with his fine spirit and his ten years of experience, should enable him to prove himself competent as secretary. He plans to organize or reorganize, strengthen, and assist the colored committees throughout the State wherever such is necessary. This is a phase of work much needed not only in Georgia, particularly, but in the several states, generally. It would mean the bringing about of a better understanding between the races; thereby eliminating friction correcting injustices, and promoting community co-operation for the common good of all. According to reports in the press, a group of business men and women from New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Baltimore, led by Claud A. Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press, and Phil A. Jones, business manager of the Chicago Defender, left New York City early in the week on a tour of the South. We approve of first ascertaining the conditions confronting us before offering a solution for betterment. It is hoped that this tour may mean the casting aside of the old idea of Negroes doing business only with business Negroes. This idea has done much to hinder our success in business. What is needed is that our business group learn to do business where the greatest gain can be had with due deference to all concerned. If all other racial groups had carried out the iden of doing business only within their respective groups, where would the Negro business man be? There would be no Service Company of Atlanta, no Windham Bros. Construction Co., of Birmingham, no Negro banking institutions, and the like. We need to do business with whites when such business means gain. By such association, we can assimilate greater business acumen. To Dean Hawkes, Chairman of the Committee on Residence Halls at Columbia University, New York, is due credit for the prompt and decisive manner in which he settled a question of discrimination in the dormitories. It is beitting a great institution of learning to have one in official capacity to point out that Negroes have always been at Columbia, that no student has been excluded from any priv justice may be done him by our group in the final analysis. So far as the "unnamed young lady from New Orleans" is concerned she will make her appearance in person in due time. I only mentaioned he cause to show that the case of Mrs. George was not an isolated one. And there are still others. Mrs. George was appointed, and she ought to be permitted to enter upon her duties.

Where else can we expect citizens to be on equal footing if not in a university? The only class distinctions in a university should be recognized on a basis of intellectual attainment. Race prejudice in colleges is unavoidable. It is abetted by a national underground movement as dangerous and as serious as the Ku Klux madness; it is rooted in a kind of economic struggle or race hatred; and it reflects the foolishness of forefathers. Authorities of universities and colleges must take cognizance of social antitheses so as to relegate racial rivalries to the place they deserve in the educated world. It is said that the German officer who brought a German submarine to American shores, loaded it, and returned to Germany, remarked, on one occasion, that his cargo was placed on board by the least observant people of America, the Negro. Be this true or false, therein lies a warning, a lesson. Our ideas and experiences of daily life are the most important form of all instruction. They are our ever-present teachers. For the true teacher is not found in external instruction of any kind, either written or verbal, Nor do objective instructions serve more than as mediums to aid in the crystallization of the advancing realizations as we travel life's journey. We are at all times under the direct and immediate guidance of a "teacher." And the "teacher" does not necessarily have to be some personality in the flesh, not some person or personality in the spiritual realm. (This is not intended to imply the existence of an unseen "master" or guide.) For the personality in the flesh can not teach you; it only aids toward crystallization. An unseen master, or guide, or teacher may give perfect guidance, yet the receiver knows not who it is nor from whence it comes. Likewise, though it is difficult to explain why an infallible teacher could permit us to suffer pain, or build gross imperfections. Experience teaches us that every shade of darkness through which we pass, leads us further, with ultimate benefits and blessings. Take heed. The mesages in the events and interests in your daily life, upon which you find your attention intensely focused, are the mediums of instructions. They may come from a few words spoken by another, a few lines in a book or fable, or a caption on a motion picture screen. Heed these messages. The one requisite is to heed, reflect upon and learn the lesson in the outstanding incidents, words and expressions which are presented to you externally in your everyday life. If you observe but for one day, you will learn to distinguish between the passing events and the outstanding ideas or expressions toward which your attention is magnetically drawn and held. The entire universe is but a series of units, an expression, a manifestation of Creative Ideation. Everything that can be sensed by man can be resolved down to the expression of an Idea which appears objectively manifesting exactly that Idea. Take heed. Your Experiences, your Ideas are the Great Teachers. PATENT OFFICE RELIEF ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS The Patent Office Relief Association held its annual election of officers at the residence of the President, William A. Bland, 763 Girard Street, Northwest, Monday night, April 7. The meeting was well attended and proved from the enthusiasm of the members that the association bids fair to take a prominent place among the beneficial societies of this city. After the customary greetings and exchanges of good-fellowship among the members, the meeting settled down to the routine business and the election of officers for the ensuing year. The election resulted as follows: President, William A. Bland, (re-elected); Vice-president, Harrison Beldon, (re-elected); Secretary, Mercer Conway; Asst. Secretary, Roland B. Tolson; Treasurer, Sol. Johnson, (re-elected). The association was formed one year ago and has shown remarkable progress during that time, having a membership at the present time of thirty-six out of the fifty-seven colored employees of the office, and being in sound financial condition. It has already proven its mission in cementing the ties of friendship among the employees of the office and providing substantial relief in the cases of distress among its membership. It is composed of hustling, energetic, young men who have a definite program to fulfill and it promises to wield a vast influence throughout the Patent Office and the city in general.

The French developed great indigo, cotton, sugar, and coffee plantations and bulit beautiful chateaux all about the country. It is reported that toward the end of the eighteenth century they had, with Negro slave labor, made of Haiti the richest colony in the world. At this time they had 2,500,00 acres under cultivation and 400,000 slaves employed in the field alone. By 1780 slave labor was producing for the colonists $70,000,000 annually. The close of the century however, found the Negro slaves and free mulattoes in revolt. They won their independence by driving the French from the country, and in 1804 set up an independent government under their great Negro leader, Dessalines. Haiti has many interests and attractions in its own right. It shares the island called, by Columbus, Hispaniola. Haiti occupies the western end of the island and has an area of 10,000 square miles; accordingly it with the Republic of Santo Domingo is about one-third the size of South Carolina. It has a dense population of 2,000,000 souls, or an average of 200 per square mile. The country is mountainous and abounds in beautiful scenery. The rivers of importance are few. Haiti has not only a tropical climate with alternating wet and dry seasons, but, with mountains everywhere, it furnishes nearly every degree of temperate climate as well. From the sea level to the mountain tops, great varieties of grains, vegetables, fruits, and flowers of both the tropical and temperate zones grow. W. T. B. Williams in the CONCERNING THE BODY "The human being is the hardest animal to kill," a young surgeon remarked in the course of a conversation the other day. "I have made this statement to many noted surgeons, among them George W. Crile, and all have agreed it is true," he continued. This young man also said that, conditions being the same, a man can outrun any other animal. "Remember Tom Longboat, the Indian?" he said. "He was a perfect physical specimen of a man. He kept himself in the finest condition by con- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 OUR LETTER BOX LETTERS OBSERVE THIS Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name, age, address, school, and school class.

"The reason we have come to think of man as a weakling in physical power is because he has abused his body. Yet the best evidence of man's tremendous resources is the fact that this body can stand this abuse. He overeats, overworks, undersleeps, takes no exercise, lives in stuffy rooms and then in a sudden crisis, withstands the shock of a major operation. "No other animal on earth could do it. Nor should man try to do it. If man took half the care of his body that the average animal does his effectiveness would be tribled." Don't fail to train your body properly. Don't fail to be careful of it. It is of as great importance to be as careful of your body as it is to be careful of your clothes. LOVE Are you truly in love with mother and father? If you "think" you love them—you do not love them. When you love people you "know" that you love them. There is nothing in the world greater than love. What is love? Love is service. Without a willingness to serve a person you do not love that person. Observe mother. She does all that one can do, for you because she loves you. have been reading many other children's pages but they were not in the Tribune. They were not half as good as those in the Tribune.

ETHEL YATES (8) When she refuses to do a thing for you it is because she thinks that it is best that she does not do that thing. You will notice that she is always trying to do something for your advancement, comfort and pleasure. She serves because she loves. And, too, it is true of father. Father toils from sun to sun that he may clothe, house, feed, and educate you. He loves you—therefore he serves. Do you serve? If so, do you serve willingly and with a smile? When a task is to be done, do you offer to do it? When you are asked to do a task do you argue, fuss, or pout? Do you drag yourself to the task? Do you half do it? Noticee just how you act when mother or father asks you to do a favor. Try to judge yourself and see whether you really, truly, love dad and mother. Don't say "nigger." TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams ANNA CHANDLER BROOKS RECITAL ASSISTED BY WESLEY HOWARD, VIOLINIST Washington music lovers and the elite of society thronged Lincoln Temple Memorial Church, Rev. Robert W. Brooks, pastor, on last Tuesday evening, April 8th, when Anna Chandler Brooks, soprano of Detroit, Michigan, and Wesley I. Howard, violinist of Howard University gave a varied program in joint recital. Mime. Brooks made a host of enthusiastic friends Tuesday evening in her delightful singing. While her mezzo voice is somewhat thin she reaches across to her audience with charm and grace in her high soprano notes. She opened with Matthews "Song Cycle," "The Perfect Year" followed with a group of spirituals by Burleigh, "By an' By," "Deep River" and "I stood on de ribber ob Jerdon." The latter number was full of spiritual essence and flavor; sung with velvet tones and pathos. Mr. Howard then played "Thais" (Meditation) by Massenet in masterly style. Mme. Brook's last group of part I on the program had Cadman's "Call me no more," Richardd't "In the time of roses" and Geehl's "For you alone" as its features. Though all were delightfully given she enthused her hearers in the dramatic rendition of "For you alone" where her voice was full of color and life. Applause swept the auditorium. The encore was the "Open secret" by Woodman. In part II of the program, she gave Cook's Negro Love song "Wid de Moon"; Hahn's French love song "Si mes vers avaient des alles," and Liaurance's Indian love song "Minnetonka." The Negro song was treated with decided originality and in splendid voice; the French song was delivered in subtle delicacy. Her "Minnetonka" caught up the audience in its floating, pure, even quality of singing and she enced with rare charm, Dett's "I'm so glad trouble don't last alway." Her closing selection was Verdi's "Ah fors e' lui", captivating the audience with clear diction, exquisite thrills and florid passages,—warbling like a bird. There was a tinge of gold in her upper voice, rich, round and beautiful. It was gripping, compelling in quality and the high-light of her performance. Phrasing was good and her sustained planissimo notes were effective. Mme. Brooks made a fine impression on her initial appearance with a winning personality and an artistic bearing, proving herself an artist. She has won Washington's plaudits on merit—and we welcome her. Wesley Howard Scores Wesley Howard won fresh laurels on the violin. He accompanied the soloist with several numbers and then played "Etude for one string" by Beriot-Howard. The virtuosity of this young artist was soundly tested in this "G string" number. He proved equal to every technical demand and his very tone had a singing quality full of color and warmth, which was HOWARD ALUMNI NOMINATE CANDIDATE FOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES On March 29th, the committee in charge of securing the alumni nomination for trustee of Howard University met in the office of Alumni and Field Secretary on the University campus and opened and counted the ballots that had been sent in from all parts of the United States, from Panama and the West Indies. There were several launched nominations, the six receiving the highest number of votes after Emory B. Smith declared the vote which included him among the first six, are as follows: Dr. Sara W. Brown, Washington, D.C.; Atty. W. Justin Carter, Harrisburg, Pa.; Rev. George Frazier Miller, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Dr. Peter M. Murray, New York City; Rev. Scott Wood, Dowingtown, A.; Atty. George H. Woodson, Des Moines, Iowa. Each person nominated was duly notified by telegram, stating his acceptance by return wire.

The opening note was organlike in its sonorous resonance, and the powerful tones were given with firm sureness of bowing that was breath-taking in its beauty. Fiorillo-Howard's "Caprice No. 28" was given with a brilliance that left the audience apparently dazed at its close. The technical wizardy of Howard was convincingly displayed in his "Caprice No. 28." The runs and muted string work were given with soft, rounded finish and the apparent lack of effort that marks the work of every true artist. There was the throb of rhythmic movement, the delicate beauty characteristic of this work which was emphasized in an attractive presentation. In his concluding number, "Variations on a Negro Song," an original composition played for the first time by the composer, Mr. Howard had his audience at his feet. Eloquence was here as this old Negro air "Let us cheer the weary traveller" floated out into space while he intensified the melody in double stopings with the sweep of his rhythm and the rich body of his tone. It was true virtuosity, a veritable tour de force, giving all the colorful qualities suggested in the notes with swift, sure bowing that so pleased the audience that an encore was demanded, repeating it. It was a veritable benediction in the sweetness with which the dreamy cadences were played. At the piano, Miss Mary Lorraine Europe, a pianist of really great ability, was an accompanist of superlative sympathy.

J. Byron Hopkins, 812 Madison St.—adv. Last week we published a summary of the work done by the Alumni Association for the local public school. From a letter to R. C. Bowton, Superintendent of Schools by Mr. White, principal of the Parker-Gray School, we note that in addition to the items given by the Alumni Association which amounted to $1,637.22, that the following items were secured for the school by the Equipment Committee of the Parent-Teacher Association and Mothers club: On domestic science outfit, $421.97; refrigerator, $50; lineleum rug (by Parent Teachers) $7.

Since these schools have been consolidated the alumni associations have been merged into a joint organization known as the Snowden, Hollowell, and Parker-Gray Alumni Association. Perhaps, it may not be amiss to say that in these drives for funds teachers have taken the initiative and largely directed the soliciting and the spending of the money received. We are still working.
