First in Local Circulation. CABII WEEKS TELLS CIT IZENS COMM. OF BEACH PLANS Sherrell Insults Committee by Refusing to Answer Letter. The Negro citizens are greatly agitated over the treatment accorded them by Col. C. O. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and grounds here, in reference to facilities on the golf and tennis courts and at the bathing beach. A committee composed of W. D. Nixon, H. E. Barnett, Dr. Creed W. Childs, Dr. W. B. Wilson, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson; E. B. Smith, and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, last week decided to take the matter up with Secretary of War Weeks. After writing him a letter, they were asked to call and see the secretary. This conference resulted in Secretary of War Weeks telling the committee that he had decided to give the colored citizens a beach on the west side of the tidal basin, and to give them a separate golf course in the West Potomac Park. This action on the part of Secretary Weeks is one of the boldest attempts ever made by a cabinet officer to put the stamp of Government approval on race segregation. The laws creating these recreational places, does not specify any segregation. The segregation was instituted by the War Department, through the office of the public buildings and grounds, who is appointed by the president of the United States. The citizens of Washington have ben fighting for years to break down the bars of race segregation and to prevent the raising of more of them. However, notwithstanding this fight, which has recaused its climax under the Harding and Coolidge republican administration, there is more effort now to further segregation than ever before. The following letter was written to Col. Sherrill on April 7th to which he refused to make a reply: April 7th, 1924. Col. C. O. Sherrill, In Charge of Public Buildings and Grounds. Dear Sir: The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia, composed of 23 organizations, having a membership of over fifteen thousand, have noted the fact that recreation centers will be established this season in several public parks in the District of Columbia, these centers to have tennis courts, golf courses, and spaces for other health giving facilities. Bearing in mind that hitherto uncalled-for, unjust and unlawful rules of segregation in the use of these places have been made and enforced with the effect of insulting the twelve million colored Americans who are part owners of these government grounds, we request that you give our organization the following information: I. If the Un-American policy of racial discrimination against colored citizens restricting their privileges in the use of the government recreation grounds, represents the opinion and has the sanction of the Secretary of War and the President of the United States. II. Is it your intention to continue this unjust segregation now in existence, and to extend these hate-breeding ideas to the new centers to be established? III. Under what act of Congress have you been empowered to Jim Crow Americans because of Color or Race? IV. If you are not responsible for this reprehensible segregation that has prevailed under your administration, who is? Respectfully awaiting your reply, Yours truly, President. After waiting for a month the committee then took the matter up with Mr. Weeks, with the result that the above-mentioned conference was held. The committee protested the decision of Mr. Weeks to extend segregation under the federal Government here. Local citizens are now planning to take the matter up with President The Washington Tribune Copeland Gets Stay of Execution Justice Hitz, in Criminal Division 1, has postponed the execution of Herbert L. Copeland, until October 25 to await the decision of the District Court of Appeals of an appeal noted by counsel for the prisoner from his conviction of murder in the first degree. Copeland was convicted of killing Police Lieut. David Dunigan in May, 1918. Attorneys Henry Lincoln Johnson and B. L. Gaskins are Copeland's Attorney's. A. M. E. ZIONS HONOR LOCAL MINISTERS Important Posts Won by Rev. Jones, Rev. Carrington and S. M. Dudley Indianapolis, Ind.—The General Conference of the A. M. E. Z. Church which is in session here, is now closing its work with the hope of adjourning within a few days. Much of the interest has subsided since the election of five new bishops last week, who were elected in the order named. Rev. B. G. Shaw; Rev. E. D. W Jones; Rev. W. J. Walls; Rev. J. M Martin and Rev. C. C. Alleyne. Rev Alleyne was elected by acclamation. This is the second time in the history of the Church that a candidate has received such an honor. Attorney S. M. Dudley of Washington, D.C., was elected over a large field as Secretary of the Church Extension and Home Missions Department. Rev. W. O. Carrington, pastor of John Wesley A. M. E. Z Church, Washington, D. C., was elected editor of the A. M. E. Zion Reveiw, to succeed Bishop-Elect C. C. Alleyne. This General Conference has been one of the most orderly in the history of the church, and as one delegate put it, speaks well for the calibre of the men now in charge of running the church's affairs. The A. M. E. Z. Church is the oldest independent Negro church body in this country, having been established by James Varick, who withdrew from the M. E. Church in New York City in 1796. There are now over 600,000 members in the denomination. LIEUT. COL. JOHN E. GREEN TRANSFERRED TO ARIZONA (Preston News Service) Washington, D.C., May 22—Under Army orders last Thursday, Lieut. Col.

ALL HOUSTON RIOT PRISONER'S ELIGIBLE FOR PARDON BY 1928 After several years of fighting by various organizations and friends, a ray of hope is now in sight for the ill-fated members of the 24th Infantry who are now confined in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, for alleged participation in the Houston, Texas, riot, August 23, 1917. Representative Daniel R. Anthony of Kansas, the most active member of Congress in these mens' behalf, makes public a letter this week from the War Department informing him that under the findings of the special Board of Officers which recently re- HOWARD UNIV. TO OBSERVE R. O. T. C. DAY The Reserve Officers' Training Corp, Unit No. 311 of Howard University will have its first annual celebration, (R. O. T. C. Day). May 28th at 1:30 p.m. The battalion of four companies and band will be reviewed and inspected by the President and Faculty of Howard University. The Companies, A, B, C, and D, will stage a competition to determine the best instructed company, the winning company to be designated as honor company. Judges for Company and individual drill: Major West a Hamilton; Captain Arthur Newman, and Captain Campbell Johnson. At the termination of Company drill there will be an individual competition to determine the best instructed member of the organization, the winner to be awarded a gold medal. The Senior R. O. T. C. Unit No. 311, of Howard University was organized during the School Year, 1918-1919, since which date it has operated continually, graduating each year those members of the Senior Class who have completed the regular four-year courses which is a requisite for a commission as 2nd Lieutenant of Infantry in the Officers' Reserve Corps. Each member graduating is commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant and assigned to an organization of Reserves in his Corps Area, i.e., in the locality in which he makes his home. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is, in time of hostilities, to furnish all of the officers required to fill our ranks to its maximum capacity, not as happened in past wars, with inexperienced, untrained men, but with men who have studied the science in Military Tactics and have been found fitted to command men. The R. O. T. C. is the only avenue open through which a commission can be secured in any of our temporary forces which might be organized during an emergency. On commencement day, June 6, 1924, the third R. O. T. C. Class at this University will receive their commissions as 2nd Lieutenants, Reserve Corps. In the event that any of the graduates of Howard University, who are commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Reserve Corps after having pursued the regular R. O. T. C. course desires to follow a military career, he is eligible to take the examination for a 2nd Lieutenant in the Regular Army. The fact that the has pursued the regular military course at Howard University to its completion exempts him from examination in all of the required subjects except the physical examination, and one of the following elective major subjects, all of which may be had during his college course at Howard University: Analytic Geometry, Surveying or Calculus). viewed every case separately, that every one of these soldiers are now subject to being pardoned between this summer and the summer of 1928, depending on the length of time their sentences are for.

My dear Mr. Anthony have your letter of the 23rd ul- (Continued on page 6) The Foundation of Life Insurance Calculations Written for the Federal Life Insurance Company (By Simeon Cunningham) No one would wish to insure in a Company that has no knowledge of its actual liabilities and it is of great interest, not only from a standpoint of student interest, but as a matter of general information, to note how an insurance company arrives at the proper value, or to use technical terms, the proper premium value, of the policy it issues. To go into the heart of insurance calculations would require a course in the actuarial science, as applied to Life Insurance, and it is not our purpose to make insurance actuaries through the medium of these articles, but to show you how soundly insurance is calculated and to bring to your attention its safety, as an investment, because of its sure foundation. The discovery of the Law of Mortality, by Edmund Halley, Astronomer, Royal Society of England, who in 1692 constructed the first table of mortality from the death register of the City of Bresleau, in Silesia, was the beginning of the basis of Life Insurance calculations. The mortality table first used in this country was the one constructed by Joshua Milue in 1815 from the records of the City of Carlisle, England and known as the Carlisle Table. The first American Table was compiled by Sheppard Homan in 1867. Let us now note how the information afforded by these tables is used by Life Insurance companies. We find, through observation, that of persons of any selected age some die soon and some live long, and it is by knowing how rapidly a large number of persons at the selected age will die that the Company knows how it can afford to offer the features and benefits set forth in its contract. The Table of Mortality shows the approximate death rate at each age among a large number of persons, and, if we know the death rate in any one year, we can calculate the cost of insuring against the contingency of death in that year. For instance, let us assume that 81,822 persons are living at the age of 35 and of that number 732 die during the next year, then the average risk will be 732 divided by 81,822 and the net cost of insuring each person for $500 will be this fraction multiplied by $500. In the same way the "net" cost of insurance in each year of life may be obtained. There are other features of risk to be computed before the "premium" is determined and they will be discussed in future articles. A study of the science of Life Insurance and your connection with a growing company such as The Federal Life Insurance Co.. will do much to further your knowledge of this interesting work. The "Company of Service and Satisfaction" welcomes you. THE FOUR MEN Sitting: left to right—Rev. W. J. Walls, was editor of The Star of Zion; Rev. B. G. Shaw, was General Connectional Evangelist.

(Photo by Patton) WILL INVESTIGATE WHY CHILDREN ARE DENIED USE OF PLAYGROUNDS At-a meeting of recreational instructors and workers at Dunbar High School, Monday evening, a temporary organization to further recreational advantages for colored people of the District of Columbia, was formed, with Assistant Superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson as president and Louis A. Watson, director of physical education of Howard University, secretary. This was the second meeting of the group which had been called to discuss the recreational facilities and the possibility of increasing them for the 112,000 colored people of the District. One result of the meeting is the representation of the District at the National Recreational Conference which is being held here this week, under the direction of the Cabinet Committee, appointed some weeks ago by President Coolidge. The three representatives are Prof. Edward Henderson, Dunbar High School; Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, member of the school board, and Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. for the District. Upon investigation it was found that there are thirty-three playgrounds in the District operated by the District as municipal playgrounds. Of this number twenty-four are for white children and only nine where colored children are permitted to play. However, only three of the nine for colored children have any facilities worth mentioning. Five of the nine have just been taken over within this month, as municipal playgrounds. The five are Payne, Giddings, Briggs, Lovejoy and Willow Tree. Of all the baseball diamonds in the District colored players are permitted to play on only two of them. Out of more than fifty tennis courts in the District, there are only two where colored players are permitted to play.

Washington as avgiance at the Marylanders’ line-up ‘will show. However, they have a club that is sure to put up'a hot fight for the pennant once* the: pitchers hit their stride. ‘The Baltimore Team is well fixed behind the plate with Rojo, the Cuban and Pullen. On first base is “Jut” Wilson who got his baseball start in Arlington. Most local fans remem- ber when Wilson guarded the first sack for the Georgetown Athletics. “jut” is threatening to. lead the league slnggers this year. Against the Guban Star pitchers Sunday, he gathered 7 hits in 8 times up, includ- ing two home runs. Lindsay, former Richmond Giant star and “Googles” Poles are alter- mating at short. Connie Day. and Blackmon, last year with Indianapo- lis-A.B.C. club are stationed at sec- ond and third, respectively. Hallo- way and Johnson from the Indianapo- Tis and Kansas City Clubs are found im the outfield. The other outer-post is being held down by Pete Hill, man- ager of the club. Hill is rated as one of the greatest outfielders of all times and served with Foster's Amer- ican Giants for a number of years. The Sox pitching staff is slow getting together. Only Britt has been able to pitch winning ball to date, but Force, McClure and Strong, stars in the western circuit last season, are sure to reach form as the weather im- proves. The Potomacs aré likely to show some new faces. Three players, Jones, outfielder, Streeter,. pitcher from the Birmingham club of the wes- tern circuit are enroute to join the Potomacs. They should arrive to- night or Sunday. Jones is the man Taylor has been after since last summer. The team has lacked a slugger all season and he comes recommended as one of the best in the entire West and South, The shortfield has not been handled satisfactorily this year either and the signing of Jones has solved this ques- tion. Streeter is a seasoned pitcher and will strengthen the staff greatly.

In fact, the meet furnished so many bril- liant and speedy races among both the colleges and-high schools that it a matter of extreme difficulty to real- ly pick any special triumph as the | feature. The meet opened with the trials in the scholastic 160-yard dash. Rich+ ardson, a truly great runner, won both his heat and the finals without being extended, He repeated his tri- umphs in the century dash with an _casy victory in the furlong. | It was the general opinion that he could have made much better time in “both races had he been pushed, | Hampton scored a clean sweep in the 120-yard high hurdles, winning all three places. Williams of Hampton won first place in the fast time of 16 4-5 seconds. Simmons, a teammate, forged ahead to-place second, while ranother “Seasider,” Cardoza, won third prize in the last few yards, In the quarter-mile, Captain Langs- ton repeated his victory of 1922 by seoring a brilliant victory in the 440, He broke the former Hampton meet record by one-fifth of a second. Tak= ing the lead at the outset he was never headed, though Strickland of. Lincoln and Pobinson of Howard both gave him a fighting finish. Consider- ing the fact that this'was Langston’s first appearance in that distance this season, his feat was especially note- worthy. In the interscholastie relay, Banks of St. Paul took the lead and gave his teammate a lead of three yards, This was quickly cut down by Craft of Howard who gained a fifteen-yard lead for his teammate, Hill, Hill in turn gave Bright a 10-yard lead.

The Meiji University baseball team is an aggregation of first-class Japa- nese ball tossers who have played te large audiences since the beginning of their tour, which has included practically the whole country. Only a nominal admisison fee of fifty cents is to be charged for the baseball‘ game which will be called promptly at 3:30 o'clock. 40 Answer Howard Spring Grid Call Spring football practice came to a close at Howard University yester- dya after two weeks of enthusiastic work. More than forty prospects for next year's varsity engaged in the spring work-out. Of this number only two veterans, Captain-eleet Doakes and halfback Dodson, were in the group. Coach Morrison believes that a few likely looking men can be gotten out of the group, although most of the material know little of the rudiments of the game. Many gaps in the Bison liffé and backfield will be left with this year’s graduation and the expiration of the playing time of certain men. Don- eghy, Melton and Contee, backfield men, and “Bulldog” Williams, Ander- son and Priestley, linemen, will be lost to the team. The student and city fans: showed much interest in the spring practice. Large numbers were on hand each day to see the players work-out. The practice game gave Coaches Morrison and Trigg a chance to get a line on next year’s Prospects and /Requainted the candidates with the ‘new system, C. H. Williams, athletic director, with a check for fifty dollars as a gift to the athletic field from the class. In his talk he spoke of the great service Hampton is rendering to Negro youth through this annual meeting on Arm- strong Field.

Editor POTOMACS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE POSITION IN RACE Barringbad weather the largest:crowd of the season will see the Potomaes und. Black. Sox: battle in a double-header holiday attraction at the American League park on Decoration Day, May 30th. The Baltimore team has always drawn’well here in the past, chiefly because of the many Washington pro- ducts that. made-up. its roster. This: year: only’ one local produet—‘Jutt” Wilson—is: om. the-Blaek Sox team, most of the new faces’ hail from the west where: they: built. up. great. reputations. Fans are-anxious: to. see how the Potomacs have improved in their work; since leaving home. The team plainly showed the need of practice games during. the: first home stand. It was the belief that-certain- weak spots in the line-up would. improve as the season grew older. The pitchers have turned: in: but-few well-pitched games and few-of-the'men have found their batting eyes. The club did:not burn things up on the road. Thanks to “Stringbean” Williams’ great: pitching, the Hilldale club was turned back but-no other victory was: scored’ out of six starts, two of which were with white semi- pro clubs: New players are expected to arrive this week and patch up weak places. Unless two or three men have shown vast improvement sinee the team left home their positions must be filled if the team is to ‘make ang showing in the league race. At least two seasoned pitchers are needed. Neither third-base or shortstop was handled acceptably during the homestay. Brown and:Washington have hit little more:than their weights and the same ‘can be said of Manager Taylor. Once the club gets going it will be hard to ‘check but it must take on a new lease of life to get that start. New blood may hurry it on. ‘The performance of Roland Richardson, the Shay Junior High School runner at the Howard track meet is worthy of! wide publicity. Richardson was: timed: for the century dash in 9 4/5 seconds by three watehes held by competent men, Of course there is possibility that all the timers were wrong but had the sehool-boy been clocked in 10 flat the performance could have been called great. | Probably one of the best opportunities of the year for Richardson to have ‘gained glory and fame was passed up by his instructors when he was not ‘sent to Philadelphia to compete in the National Scholastic Meet held there Saturday. Had the local marvel been able to match strides with Hussey, ‘the white schoolboy speedster, who is being groomed for an Olympic berth his name would have found its way to all the leading sport pages in the coun- try.

The Bacharachs and Black Sox of the Eastern League, Homestead Grays and a Chicago semi-pro club are reported to be on his trail. Clark recently picted a no-hit, no-run game and is recognized as the king of the college pitchers. League magnates should line-up a number of these college stars. There are too many veterans on most of the clubs. A. H.

That this coming week, however, would be the final and farewell to Washington by "Struttin' Time," and its company of eighty-five celebrated artists together with its augmented New York Orchestra, was definitely announced by both the management of the show and the Howard theatre. In order to fulfill prior booking contracts, the possibility of holding over the show another week in Washington was made possible only by the fact that a week's holding in Philadelphia had been cancelled, and so the show will leave for New York without giving the Quaker City an opportunity to witness this new, stupendous $70,000 production, which has been rightly called "The Ziegfeld Follies of Colored Beauty Shows," and the logical successor of that other $70,000 production "How Come" produced by the same management.

"If all motion pictures were as good as 'The Marriage Circle,' I'd go to the movies every day of my life." That was the enthusiastic remark overheard in the lobby of several Theatres after the showing of this Ernst Lubitsch production, a picture that contains such a galaxy of brilliant plyaers as Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Florence Vidor, Adolphe Menou, Harry Myers and Creighton Hale. You will wait a long time before you see a better picture than "The Marriage Circle." It is at once sophisticated and simple, humorous and serious, with its story of a discontented rich wife who begins to make things hum when she takes a fancy to the husband of her old girlhood chum. It doesn't matter one whit to Mizzi that the husband is very much in love with his own wife; no! she's too much woman to see the logic of htat, and she begins to turn things topsy turvy domestically. 7th and T Sts., N.W.

One man is distinguished by his great power and another by his executive ability and another in his imagination or vision. Possibly the most important fact of decision. In business a man who hesitates at a man wobbles, scratches his head and is unable to two policies is best, he proves to be a man of weeute and wavering. Good judgement is very valuable of the quality of goods to be handled, forecasting conditions, knowing what to buy, when to buy and why it, means success. Self-reliance is another fact to be mentioned. If a man is afraid to trust his own, all of his thinking is of no avail. The above qualities we might add that honest man trade goods, large volume on small profits with the rising are some of the elements that will enter into acts in business.

Yet, we cannot pride ourselves on anything like the number and quality of business establishments that a population of 112,324 people would warrant. Then the question is Why not? There's a reason. As an imitator of the follies and pleasures of the white man we grade up to a high per cent. As imitators of the white man's efficiency in commercial and industrial ideas we grade very low. There are certain essential qualities which the successful business man must possess. These qualities are the links in the chain of the business man's character, which cannot be stronger than the weakest link. They are: decision, definite information on his business, judgement, self-reliance patience, and grit, concentration, enthusiasm, imagination and executive ability. Successful business men possess these qualities in different degrees. One man is distinguished by his great power of decision, another by his executive ability and another in his wonderful imagination or vision. Possibly the most important factor is that of decision. In business a man who hesitates is lost. When a man wobbles, scratches his head and is unable to decide which of two policies is best, he proves to be a man of weak will, irresolute and wavering. Good judgement is very valuable. The selection of the quality of goods to be handled, forecasting of the market conditions, knowing what to buy, when to buy and how to buy it, means success. Self-reliance is another factor that should be mentioned. If a man is, afraid to trust his own conclusions, all of his thinking is of no avail. To the above qualities we might add that honest measures, high grade goods, large volume on small profits with the proper advertising are some of the elements that will enter into a man's success in business. When our people really learn these facts and put them into practice we will be able to expand our commercial and industrial horizon, increase our number of establishments and add materially to our volume of business and increase the people's confidence in our ability to do first class, high grade business. There are many and big opportunities in every city of this country where there are more than five thousand of our people congregated. Competition may be keen but we must master competition by our expert and masterful business methods. It is possible for the Negro of this country to become a factor in every commercial activity. We do not control a single business enterprise nor the output of a single industry. We should control the cotton industry of this country. We know all about its production, its ginning, and are learning much of its conversion into cloth and yarn. There is one step higher and that is the financing, and by learning that we could control the cotton production and manufacturing of the world, for the production in the United States controls the world. It is time that we were getting away from the shop idea. The restaurant, the barber shop, shoe shining stand, and the small grocery have been fully exploited by us. Let's branch out into other lines. There is furniture, shoes, dry goods, clothes, hardware, and many other lines, including banking and financing, into which we must go before we can command attention in the business world. The outlook is bright what will we make of it? All Houston Riot Prisoners Eligible for Pardon by 1928 (Continued from page 1) timo, inclosing one addressed to you by Mr. W. I. Biddle, Warden of Leavenworth Penitentiary relative to the so-called Houston rioters. Mr. Biddle states the recommendations relative to clemency for those men made by the board of officers are very disappointing to the prisoners and to their friends. The cases of the so-called rioters have been considered by the war department many times since their confinement in the penitentiary. While N. A. A Feature UNDER LADIES' N. A. A. C. P.

As an indication of the fact that the War Department has endeavored to avoid injustice to the prisoners it may be mentioned that heretofore fifteen have been restored to duty and considerable reduction have been made in the sentences of others.

In passing upon these cases great weight was laid upon the evidence presented at the trial and the conduct in confinement of the prisoners concerned; and the investigation showed that the men whose sentences were reduced to thirty years were the more deeply involved in the affair and had the poorer records of conduct in confinement. Of the other twenty-four prisoners involved in the Houston riot serving sentences less than life at the time of the investigation of the board, eighteen are eligible for parole during the calendar year of 1924; six will be eligible for home parole in 1925.

Under the rule of the War Department governing the subject, the case of every military prisoner is considered for clemency at least once a year and neither the recent investigation by the board of officers, nor any action taken upon its recommendation will preclude the consideration an- Screamingly Funny nually of the case of each one of the prisoners involved. Representative Anthony was largely instrumental in having the Board of Officers appointed to review these cases.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 OUR LETTER BOX LETTERS OUR L FATHER'S DAY Dear Editor: I am sending in a poem of "Father's Day." I will try to get more children to join the "Children's Page." The poem follows: FATHER'S DAY There's Dewey Day and Labor Day, And days for many things. Of Baby Week and Holy Week The poet sweetly sings. There's Patrick's Day and Christmas Day And days for every fad— Ground Hog day and Mother's Day But none for poor old dad. When summer comes, dear daughter hums, And packs her grip to go. She hikes to spend, each hot week's end Where cooling breezes blow. The husky boy seeks lake-shore joy And splash around like mad, And mother goes to watch their clothes The dog stays home with dad. He never frets and seldom gets, Excited when they're gone; He puts in seeds and pulls out weeds, And mows the front-yard lawn. He eats his meals alone and feels That life is bright—not sad; And when he snores nobobdy roars and nudges poor old dad. There's New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, And day for Jubilees, There's moving day and dollar day, And days for planting trees. And some folks say there'll be a day Sometime to make him glad, So let us pray, Lord haste the day A day for poor old dad. 国家税务总局监制 MARY WEDGE.

What shall it be? Let's start something. This is station HSF, announcer is "Cap'n Flint." I intend to send in some original puzzles. I am hoping that the Ne- The grasshopper sings in the summertime, when the sunlight is warm and food plentiful, but makes no allowance for the long, cold winter, when the snow carpets the ground in a large white blanket, and the forest is locked in the freezing embrace of the Ice King. But the thrifty squirrel, busily gathering food while it is plentiful, saves from his little store enough to last through the time when the forest is bare and food unobtainable. Many people resemble the grasshopper in this respect at least, taking life as they find it, enjoying themselves and making no allowance for the future. A person may go on his way day in and day out and year in and year out, without stopping to think of the meaning of thrift if his attention is never called to it. Editor What more striking example of thrift have we then the emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, rising from the rude log-cabin of the forest to the President of the United Sttaes? Racial thrift depends upon personal thrift, and personal thrift can only be developed when the thoughts of the people are turned into the channels of right living. Personal thrift is a characteristic that should be developed by every young person. One of America's great financiers, when giving his opinion upon the secret of success, declared that upon the individual's ability to save money depended his success in life. The opportunities for the thrifty are unbounded in this great country of ours. A Chicago street car conductor left an estate of $800,000 which had been started through his thriftiness in early life. A Connecticut farmer deposited $33 in a Savings Bank in 1834, and when his widow presented the time-worn pass book in December of the year 1915, the bank paid to her as executrix of his estate the sum of $1812.09, being the original $33, plus the compound interest that had accumulated year after year. Compound interest is the little fairy that rewards the labor of thrift. To be thrifty we must also spend to save. The great manufacturing firms of the United States spend large sums of money annually for new machines, and new inventions and improvements, upon which there is no immediate re --- groes will soon start a broadcasting station. My one hope is that the operators will be careful in selecting the programs and to broadcast programs that will be pleasant for all who may listen-in. This is station HSF signing off until next week—Br-r-r-Cr-k-k. "CAP'N FLINT." THE STUDENT'S CREED Dear Editor: This is my first letter I have ever attempted to write to the "Children's Page," although I have been reading it for the past two years and am very much interested in it. I go to Deanwood School in the 7-Bgrade; Miss M. F. Quander is my teacher and Miss F. S. Bruce is my principal. I would like to become a member of the "Children's Page" and will do all in my power to upbuild it. I enjoy very much the history stories which appear on the page at various times. For my pen-name I would like "Marion Davies" as that is my favorite movie star. Inclosed you will find a poem which I have learned and found very essential. I will send in more in the future. Hoping that this will find you and all the Tribunites well. I will blot out of my life the failures that come from wasted hours, and write into it the successes that come from time well spent. I will keep life's page clean, and fill it with the record of knowledge gained. I will fix my eyes on the goal of my ambition and hold my hand to its task. I will work hard, hope high, and live up to the best that is in me. . Then I can write at the end, "Well done." LUCY M. LACEY (14) Salute "Mike" Dear Editor: I'm introducing a new member to the Pen-name Club. He is Perry W. Howard, Jr., "Mike." I hope that he will be welcomed with a cordial greeting for he is a great classmate of mine. Love to all as usual. "MUSICIAN." I have on my desk a pamphlet containing a Children's Day program. It consists of recitations and many very pretty songs. The title of the exercise is "The Awakening." Now the interesting thing about this little playlet is that it is the product of Negroes. Isn't that great? And, too, it is published by the largest Negro publishing house in America. It is published by the National Publishing Board at Nashville, Tennessee. Room will not permit me to tell of all the good things in this pamphlet but I will pass eight lines on to you. Mr. Pout and Mrs. Frown Came a-walking through the town; Wouldn't give and wouldn't lend, Never made a single friend. Mr. Smile and Mrs. Song In a moment came along; All the folks began to smile Wanted them to stay awhile. A MOTHER'S INFLUENCE May God give us mothers who are worthy of all honor, reverence and obedience, and may God give us sons and daughters who will honor themselves by rendering affection, honor and reverence to such parents. Thomas Carlyle writes: "O pious mother, kind and good, brave and truthful a soul as ever I have found in this world, your poor Tom has fallen very lonely, lame and broken in this pilgrimage of his. But from your grave in Ecclesechen Kirkyard you bid him trust in God, and that he will do, for verily the conquest of this world and death and hell lie that way."

The habit of thrift conserves health as well as wealth, and inculcates into the people of a nation other good habits -clean living, honesty and farsightedness and makes keen visioned forehanded men. It is not the high cost of living, but the cost of high living that is the cause of much of the misery of the world. May issue of JEWEL PLAYER ROLLS 75c LEGAL NOTICES A. W.

DRYMATO OR BRAIN BRAIN EYES MUSCLE Nose THROAT LARGE HEART UNUSS Liver STOMACH PANCREAS BRAIN NERVES SMALL BOWEL LARGE BOWEL GENERATIVE BRAIN THICHS LEGS CHIROPRACTIC WILL GIVE YOU HEALTH My Dear Doctor Carter: I am sending you this letter with many thanks and to tell the public and to pass the good word along of your wonderful success in curing me. I was confined to bed for more than two months with muscular rheumatism and general break down. My wife was in another bed at the same time suffering from what four good physicians failed to define. One said one thing and one said another. One said it was appendicitis and suggested that an operation was the only alternative; it was then we decided to call in Dr. G. A. Carter, the Chiropracter, and I will never forget that Friday evening when Dr. Carter walked into my bed room. In less than five minutes he had diagnosed my case. The next day he examined my wife and soon found the cause, which he removed in a masterly fashion. In seven days he had us both out of bed and I have been on my regular job since the 20th of February last. Therefore, I can't speak too loud or hold my peace in saying that Dr. Geo. A. Carter of 2001 Ninth Street, Northwest, is only a little short of a miracle in the treatment of diseases. Since his treatment of me, I am as well and as strong as I was twenty-five years ago and can eat anything. HOTEL DALE Cape May, N. J.
