It is the largest Year Book ever published by Negro College students. Its style, beautiful cover, colored borders and numerous features make it out as the "Wonder Book." This book has several features: sections known as Hall of Fame; special history of Howard from 1867-1924, written by a student, plus a history of athletics, since its inception. Special artists made very elaborate designs for the introduction of the book. The following firms did excellent work in making the various parts of the 1924 Bison: Murray Brothers, printers; Standard Engraving Company; Bureau of Engraving Company; A. Scurlock, photographer, and the Becktold cover makers were the leading factors in making this book a success. Another feature of the book is the Special Alumni Section. With pictures of first graduating class of 1872 and classes of 1909, '10, '12, '15, '16, '18, '20 and '23. In addition, pictures of over 250 Seniors from Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical, Law and College Departments. There are pictures galore, a vast picture gallery of organizations, societies, glee clubs, processions, athletic groups, fraternities and sororities. There are more than 3000 pictures in the Bison, of faculty members, students, trustees and alumni. The book has been successfully edited by J. R. Houston, '24, a very active student on the campus for four years. She is known for her ability to do. She is a member of such leading organizations, as Students Council, Woman's League, and Y. W. C. A. Her especial co-workers are as follows: P. Parker, Art Editor; C. Spaulding, Associate Editor; J. Dodson, Athletic Editor and E. Jones, Social Editor. The organizing and financing of the project has been under the able management of F. H. Robb, '24, Business Manager, who has put over a monumental project with the cooperation of College and Professional students. The book is to cost between $2200 and $3300, which is more than any student at Howard has ever managed before. There is a decided increase in the number of advertisements, 131 pages larger than any other Year Book published at Howard, elaborate cover and it is said INhter times the number of Bisons are to be published and yet they are selling for the small sum of $6.07.

A full report of the drive is desired by the Conference Meeting in Philadelphia, June 25th. Persons intending to go to the conference may use the N.A.A.C.P. office for securing railroad tickets and certificates in order to insure half fare for return. Transvaal, Orange River, Zanbesi and Natal Conferences, Bishop John A. Gregg. Eighteenth District — Oklahoma, California, Puget Sound and Virgin Isle Conferences, Bishop H. Blanton Barke Washington gasped last Saturday when word was flashed that Maurice Spencer had been arrested on a charge of attempted rape on Olga Newman, a seventeen year old girl of 1728 15th Street, Northwest, and a pupil in Miner Normal School. Mr. Spencer was arrested by detectives Jones and Jackson during the supper show at the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday afternoon. The girl's father, Mr. Nelson Newman a barber, was with the detectives at the time the arrest was made. Spencer was carried to the Eighth Precinct where he was held on $5000 bond, which he was unable to make. The case came up in the U. S. Branch of the Police Court Monday, but was continued to June 2nd Spencer's bond was reduced to $2000 and he was released from jail. According to the story given out, it seems that Mr. Spencer visited the Newman home on 15th Street, Northwest, last Monday and asked Miss Newman if she would take a Mason Gleaner and solicit money in it. The girl, it is said, told Spencer she would have to take the matter up with her parents, who were not at home at that time. Last Saturday, Mr. Spencer again visited the Newman home and found Miss Newman cleaning house. He is alleged to have walked into the parlor and seated himself on a chair, while the girl seated herself in another chair. After a few remarks relative to the gleaner, it is further alleged that Mr. Spencer got up and went over to the girl and attempted to hug and kiss her, which she is alleged to have resented. Continuing over the girl's protest, the story further alleges that Spencer then tried to attack the girl but was unsuccessful. On the pretense of taking a small child, which was in the house at the time, next door, the girl is alleged to have made her escape. Going next door she reported the incident to Mr. and Mrs. Hailey Douglass. Mr. Douglass, then it is claimed went into the Newman home and found Mr. Spencer in another part of the house and ordered him out. Mr. Spencer denies this story and states that the charge against him is absurd. He has retained Attorney B. L. Gaskins to defend him. Mr. Spencer is very prominently known here where he has lived for a number of years. He was one of the organizers of the Equal Rights League and has supported Mr. Monroe Trotter in all of his work. He is married and has two daughters. One daughter is a teacher in the public schools, while the other is a classmate of the girl who makes the charge against him. His wife and the mother of the girl alleged to have been offended, work with some section at the Bureau of Engraving. Spencer gave his occupation as a caterer, but no such listing is made in the local directoris. His last occupation it seems, was in 1921 when he was connected with a hotel at 1005 13th Street, Northwest. He lives at 1551 Jackson Street, Northeast. Appoints White Man to Haiti Appoints White Man to Haiti Everett A. Colson has been appointed by the President as deputy general receiver of customs of Haiti under the provisions of the United States-Haitian treaty of 1915. Mr. Colson has served as director of civil service, Philippines, with the Civil Service Commission in this city; with the auditing department of the War Department at Paris and in this city as executive assistant to the financial adviser to Haiti. The appointment is in line with the policy of the Republican Administration, not to appoint any colored men to responsible position in the Haitian islands.

By Simeon Cunningham We noted, in our last article, that the "net" cost of insurance is easily computed from the Mortality Tables and that the final "premium," which is in realyt the "gross" cost of insurance, is the "net" cost plus the other features of risk now to be discussed. A compilation showing the operation of receiving a premium from each person living at the beginning of the year, adding the interest for the year, and paying the claims of those who die until all are dead brings to light the answer to the questions constantly arising in disions of Life Insurance problems. Such a Table would show the necessity of the premium derived; the (Continued on page 6) Office: 920 U St., N.W.

Two members of a special commission from the Virgin Islands, arrived in Washington this week to lobby in the interest of a bill now pending in Congress for the establishing of a civil form of Government in the Islands. These two men are Mr. O. C. Granady, Attorney at Law, a graduate of Howard University of St. Thomas, V. I., and Mr. Ralph Bough, a Public Accountant of St. Croix, V. I. Mr. R. Bough, member, C.R.C. outlined the recommendations that the committee proposed to lay before Congress relative to Senate Bill No. 2786. They are as follows: 1. To make St. Croix, the capital of the Virgin Islands with the seat of Government at Christiansted. 2. That citizens residing outside of the United States should also become American citizens. 3. That there should be two legislatures for the Virgin Islands, instead of one, the one for Christiansted to be comprised of thirteen members, instead of one legislature as stipulated in the bill. 4. That there should be an annual, instead of a bi-annual budget. 5. That judges should be appointed by the President instead of by the Governor as obtains presently. 6. That our court of appeal should be one located in Porto Rico instead at Philadelphia as it is at present. The men, in addition to asking for the passage of Senate Bill 2786 will ask the committee on territories to include other amendments. Since the return of the special Commission, appointed by President Coolidge from the Virgin Islands, nothing has been done to carry out the recommendations of the Commission, in whole, acceptable to the Islands. The men report that the natives are anxiously awaiting some action by the administratoin, that will give them some definite status as to their citizenship.

NCEMENT JUDGE STAFFORD SETTLES LOCAL ELK CASE Lodge Funds not to be Expended for Home nor Charted Revoked Some weeks ago the Grand Exalted Ruler cited Columbia Lodge to show cause why she should not be suspended and her charter revoked, setting up in the citation that the Exalted Ruler of Columbia Lodge had appointed a Chairman of the Memorial Committee and allowed the Chairman to name the other members; (2) Permitting one brother to charge another brother with a criminal offense; (3) Sending letters to other lodges in the jurisdiction constituting rebellion; this specification referring to Columbia Lodges' circular letter opposing the "Old Folks Home" proposition. (4) Insurrection to the District Deputy; this specification referring to the Lodge's refusal to recognize an order of the District Deputy suspending the Exalted Ruler because he failed to appoint all the members of the Memorial Committee and because he failed to prosecute charges against the brother who made remarks upon the lodge room floor. Upon receipt of the notice to show cause, Columbia Lodge promptly filed her denial with the Grand Exalted Ruler, and promptly filed a bill in Equity to restrain the Grand Exalted Ruler from suspending Columbia Lodge and from expending the $20,000 unlawfully appropriated on the fourth day of the Grand Lodge session. The motion fo ra preliminary injunction came on for hearing before Justice Stafford on Friday, May 23, was argued on behalf of Columbia Lodge by Attorney John H. Wilson and on behalf of the Grand Exalted Ruler by Charles S. Hill. At the conclusion of the argument, Justice Stafford asked Attorney Wilson to read his prayers for relief whereupon Attorney Wilson read from his amended petition as follows: "2. That a rule to show cause issue out of this Honorable Court requiring the defendants to appear on a day certain to be therein named and show cause if any they have why they and each of them should not be restrained, pending this suit from carrying out the order suspending and revoking the charter of the plaintiff herein, and that the defendant, Wilson, be restrained from signing a check for $20,000 in conformity with the within void resolution." Whereupon Justice Stafford stated, "that pending this suit, no order of suspension or revocation should issue against Columbia Lodge and that the $20,000 appropriated should not be expended and that a stipulation should be filed at once in conformity with the Court's views. Columbia Lodge was represented by Attorneys John H. Wilson, Thomas L. Jones, Charles S. Williams, and Lewis Melingher. cal committee, indicating the rank obtained by the contestant.

NEGRO LIFE INSURANCE CO. HOLDS ANNUAL REGIONAL CONVENTION A most successful meeting of the General Agents and District Managers, agents and office force of the Baltimore and Washington district was held in the above named cities May 20 and 21, 1924, respectively, at which the business of life insurance and its problems were carefully discussed, particular stress being laid upon the marvellous growth of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham, N.C., and methods planned that will bring to our group the necessity for adequate life insurance. The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company is the only $2,000,000 successful business concern conducted by and for Negroes and the only mutual life insurance company of any size, colored or white organized in the state of North Carolina. This was positively attested to in a recent convention examination of this company by the Insurance departments of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The examiners stated that the assets of $2,000,000 were found intact and invested in Government, State, County and Municipal Bonds, Bank and Utilities Stock. Every cent was in its place and the books and records of the company were very accurately kept. This is indeed an invincible argument for the possibilities and successes of Negro financiers. It was shown at this meeting that, notwithstanding the general spread and knowledge of modern sanitary living conditions, the mortality of our group is still too high, although greatly reduced in the past few years. Double efforts will be and are now being made by The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company to bring to the attention of our people morals and clean living in order that their span of life may increase. Very instructive addresses were made by president, Mr. C. C. Spaulding, Manager of the Ordinary Department; Mr. M. A. Goins, Mr. W. D. Hill, Agency Director, all of the Home Office; General Agents, Z. P. Moore and Emmett Coleman, of Washington and Baltimore respectively; C. C. Thorpe, Special Agent and D. C. Dean, State Agent of Virginia. Addresses were also made by Dr. Wm. E. Lewis and Dr. M. T. Walker, B. E. Williams, J. J. Quarles, A. S. Taylor and T. M. Hunt.

Andrew Green as pastor and founder. Rev. Green died after serving about four years. There has been several pastors between Rev. Green and Dr. Washington, but Dr. Washington has served for eighteen years, which is a longer period than any of his predecessors. During his administration, a new church house has been erected and a large number of members added to the church. The church is now free from all incumbrances. The reception and mortgage burning at this church was attended largely by some of the leading ministers and friends of the city. The reception committee, headed by S. H. Ross, spared no pains to make this reception one of the best in the history of the church. The history of the church was read by L. W. Thompson. The mortgage burning was conducted by Miss Althie E. Washington, granddaughter of J. H. Washington, chairman of the deacon board, Master Normon V. Washington, grandson of C. W. Brown, Miss Lucile Ross, Mercer Whitley and Maggie Barnes.

Letters to the Editor The Washington Tribune, Dear Mr. Editor: I read in your paper of last week, the editorila which gave a brief history of your paper's existence. I have been a constant reader of the "Washington Tribune" from its very beginning, and I can't refrain from expressing my very great delight in the success which you have achieved—both in circulation and in becoming the real champion of the rights of Colored people. I am particularly interested in a fight to a finish, the law which compels one to furnish his or her photo before being admitted to take civil service examination. Wishing for you many more years of usefulness, I am respectfully yours, A. E. MIMS. 1520 10th St. N.W.

Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary, Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, will address a general session on Negro Migration and its Effect on Family and Community Life." In the HEALTH section, the subject of Negro health will be discussed by Algernon B. Jackson of the Howard University Medical School, Washington, D.C., C. V.

Garvin of Cleveland Ohio. "I am most confident that there will acrue to Liberia College and to the educational development of Liberia as a whole, from the co-operation of Howard University—which now ranks amongst the highest institutions of learning in the United States—the largest and most gratifying results. Keep Your Insurance Bonue (Information for the Veteran) At the end of one of the longest; hard- est fought legislative battles in years, the Insurance Bonus Bill became a law when, the Senate overrode President Coolidge's veto by a vote of 59 to 26. It is by no means what most of us A. B. (I. L. Parker) wanted, nor is it what we need most. Most of us wanted cash, but what we get is an insurance policy upon which we can borrow small sums, beginning in three years. What we need most is an appropriation set aside for our financial care during our incapacity caused by old age or feebleness. At present we can quite well care for ourselves, and a few of us will be thoughtful enough to prepare for harder times; but many of us will think not of the future—just living from day to day. Therefore, when we can no longer make our livelihood, we become the burden of our immediate vicinity. It is then that we need the support or some aid of the Government. It is not too much to expect. We gave ourselves to our Government when it needed us most in maintaining its existence. Therefore, our Government is morally obligated to provide for us, through some appropriation, when we are confronted with a like condition. However, all hope is not lost, Legion leaders have pledged themselves to move at once for an amendment of the law by substituting cash payments or a pension for the gold-brick bonus. As it stands, men who served less than sixty days get nothing, because each received $60 upon discharge. Those who served more than sixty and not more than 110 days will receive cash to the amount of $1, domestic service, and 1.25, foreign service, for each day of the excess. All other veterans get twenty-year endowment insurance policies. The sum allowed you can not exceed $500, for domestic service, nor $925 for foreign service. This sum is multiplied by an arbitrary figure, depending upon your age, which averages about 2.5. The result is then increased by 25 per cent, the total being the value of the policy. The maximum for domestic service is $1,600, for foreign service $1,900, and the average $962. After two years, you may borrow up to 90 per cent of the current face value of your policy. On a $1,000 policy, after two years, you may borrow $87.93; after nineteen years $831.23. However, if you fail to repay, you forfeit your policy and the Government becomes liable for the debt. No civilian officers, members of the Student Army Training Corps, nor Officers' Reserve Training Corps share this bonus. Only members of the army, navy, or Marine Corps up to the grade of Captain in the army of Lieutenant in the navy are eligible. Service between April 5, 1917, and July 1, 1919, may be counted, but enlistment must have been before November 11, 1918. In calculating the amount of your bonus, proceed as follows: Take the number of days you were in the service, minus 60. Multiply this number by $1 for home service and $1.25 for foreign service. If the total is $60 or less, you will get cash. If more than $50, you will get an insurance policy. To find the value of your policy, add 25 per cent to the basic total, figured on length of service. Multiply this second total by the factor corresponding to your age, January 1, 1925. The result will be the value of your policy. For instance, Scott served four months in the United States and three months abroad. His home service at $1 per day is 63 days, or $63. His foreign service at $1.25 per day is 92 days, or $115. This gives a total of $178. Adding 25 per cent, you have a total of $222.50. Now suppose Scott is 28 years old. The "factor" for his age is 2.530. The face value of his policy si $222.50 x 2.530, or $562.92. However small your policy may be, ke pit. To dispose of it means a great loss to you or your beneficiary. NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORK TO HAVE MANY COLORED SPEAKERS The National Conference of Social Work with its 5,000 delegates meeting in Toronto, Canada, June 25th to July 2nd will discuss problems of the Negro in many of its sectional meetings. Migration, Health, Children, Community Organization and Industry will be among the subjects to be Due to the special industrial problems growing out of the migration a special Round Table will be held on The Negro in Industry at which time Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League will preside. The speakers in this section are John T. Clark, Executive Secretary of the Pittsburgh Urban League; Miss Helen Sayre, Personnel Director of Colored Women of the Nachman Springfilled Company, Chicago, Ill.; George B. Fout, Personnel Manager of the Youngstown, Ohio, Sheet and Tube Company; C. L. Peake, Department of Industrial Relations of the American Radiator Company, Buffalo, N.Y.; Robert L. Mays, President, Railway Men's International Association. The discussion will be opened by Forrester B. Washington, Executive Secretary of the Armstrong Association, Philadelphia, Pa. William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will address the Neighborhood and Community Life Section on the Subject "The Négro and the Community." This Conference is one of the broadest and most liberal of the various national bodies considering social problems in America and it is thought that a large number of colored social workers will attend as delegates. LIBERIAN COLLEGE TO HAVE The Trustees of Howard University recently authorized President J. Stanley Durkee to enter into correspondence with President C. D. B. King of the Republic of Liberia and the Trustees of Liberia College, Monrovia, West Africa (looking to cooperation on the part of Howard University whereby assistance may be rendered Liberia College and the people of Liberia in connection with their educational endeavors. As a result of this correspondence the Trustees of Liberia College have just forwarded to President Durkee a copy of resolutions adopted by the Board: The Resolutions "Resolved, That the Board of Trustees of Liberia College recommend the suggestion of the President of Liberia College, namely: The establishment of, at least six scholarships, whereby students finishing the regular B.A.'s course, at Liberia College may continue training at Howard, do post graduate work, specialize along certain lines, say remain at least three years, return to Liberia, teach at Liberia College and serve the State in other respects, said scholarships to extend over periods of three years, at least. "Resolved, That we also welcome and would promote in every possible way the suggestion of President Durkee, namely, that professors from Howard University might teach for a year or two in Liberia, and would endeavor to facilitate research work which they might desire to engage in." Resolution Unanimously Adopted by Authorities of Liberia College Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, President of Liberia College, advises that the above resolutions were unanimously adopted. Dr. Cassell also advises: "This action occurring just as we are about to initiate a new educational plan for our School System, I regard as propitious of great good and will work mightily in the development of education in Liberia, the cherished wish of President Durkee and the Trustees of Howard University." President of Liberia Expresses Appreciation President King in a letter to President Durkee writes: "I cannot but associate myself with the expressions of gratefulness and appreciation as given utterance to by President Cassell upon the generous offer of assistance made to Liberia by the Trustees of Howard University. "I congratulate you upon your aim to project the life of Howard University as far afield as possible, so that its influence will be correspondingly far reaching and effective.

Union Surprised by . | Howard Nine Howard staged a come-back Friday after a mid-season slump and handed Va. Union a set-back by the score, 6 to 4. It was Howard’s first win over Union in three years, the visitors having scored an early season victory over Howard on their own grounds. The Panthers counted once in the first inning but the locals forged to the front in their half by counting twice. The visitors gathered another in the fourth and broke the tie in the fifth. However, in the sixth, hits by Monroe, Baylor and Townsend again gave Howard the lead which was never relinquished, Howard plays Lincoln on the cam- pus on May 29. COLES TO LEAD HAMPTON RUNNERS Hampton, Va., May 24—Rain halted the Hampton-Shaw game here today in the second inning, It closed the Hampton schedule for this season. ‘Track Captain. Elected Following the great victory of Hampton Institute in the third annual Hampton Track and Field Meet, all of the fleet athletes who won letters met in Hampton Institute Gymnasium and elected Robert A. Coles, Jr., Phoebus, Va., Class of 1926, captain-clect for the season of 1925. Coles was Hamp- ton’s highest point scorer of the year and one of her most dependable and outstanding athletes. His election comes as a reward for his ability to win the mile event at the Howard and Hampton meets, and for placing sec- ond in the two-mile at Howard and winning it in record time at Hampton. Great things are expected of him next year. Captain Langston of this sea- son’s team is expected back in school next year and, along with the other athietes, is expected to perform. just as brilliantly as this year. Gold Basketballs Presented Hampton’s basketball team, led by Junius T. Langston, Whaleyville, Va., was presented with gold basketballs at the chapel services during the week by William Anthony Aery in behalf of Charles H. Williams, With appro- priate remarks Mr. Aery called to the Ogden Hall platform and pre- sented the following men with’ the gifts which signified the winning of the intercollegiate basketball champ- ionship: Ernest L.

Williams) Seeretary-Trasurer, C. I. A. A. Hampton, Va., May—The good and evil influencs of fraternities in. ath- letics were discussed at the recent ‘session of the Colored Intercollegiate ‘Athletic Associaiton, which was. held in Lynchburg, Va. The best presen- ‘tation of the subject was given by Dr. ‘Walter G. Alexander, graduate. man- ager of Lincoln University and: viee- president of the Colored Intercolleg: iate Athletic Association. Dr. Alexander's Viewpoint “There has: developed, in. the. past few years,” says Dr. Alexander, “a wonderful spirit of _ clannishness among student bodies. It is practi- cally. common. knowledg ethat in all schools where fraternities exist, these fraternities influence practically. all phases of college life, and preferment for everything, except scholastie hon- ors, depends almost entirely on a student’s fraternity connections. Ii thus happens that in many instances fitness is not an essential condition for preferment in the schools, but too often the student’s popularity in his own fraternity and the allegiance among fraternities detremine the stu- dent's elevation, Fraternities Elect Captains “It is: fairly common knowledge that elections for team managers, captains and other things are prac- tically always determined by frater- nity affiliation, and a man who is af. filiated with a fraternity that is not closely linked with another strong fraternity, usually stands but little show in obtaining college honors, an: the fellow who is not allied with any fraternity at all receives no consider- ation whatever. ‘The influence of the fraternities is so strong that a stu- dent today is compelled, whether he so desires or not, to be a member of some fraterntiy or else he has to suffer complete ostracism so far as elective positions in college life are concerned. “This: means, then ,that something must be done and done before a very distant date to attempt to counteract this condition, and this can only be done by making student bodies real- ize that under no conditoins must the interest of the school be made sub- servient to the interests of the fra- ternity, I have been advised that in some places Inter-Fraternity Coun- ‘cils have been formed, but these ap- [parently have not been very suecess. ful because the members of these councils were not willing to sub- merge their individual ‘affiliations for the success of the Council. Appeals to Graduate Chapters __ “To my mind nothing could be more ‘profitably considered at the annual ‘sessions of the various graduate chap. ‘ters than this very subject of frater- nity influence on college activities, I: must be that the majority of members of graduate chapters realize the con- ditions in our sheools today and know- ing this it seems reasonable that they should willingly take steps to help correct any influences that are evi- dently pernicious. My own svgges- ton wotld be that all graduate chap. ters, at some early date at their an- nual conventions, appiont a committee { confer on this matter with the fac- u'ty ot schools and representatives of undergraduate chapters, and make them realize that while the fraternity is an important factor in student life, yet it is not the biggest thing in stu. dent life, and that in alll activities, fraternal or otherwise, everything must be done for the welfare of the school.” JOE BOYKIN DEFEATS URUGUAY’S CHAMPION Buenos Aires, May 25—The Ameri- can Negro fighter, Joe Boykin, for- mer sparring partner of Luis Firpo, Argentine champion, last night won the decision in a ten-round bout over Angel Robriguez, of Uruguay, the South Ameriean light heavyweight champion. Rodriguez is credited with having knocked out Firpo at the be- ginning of Firpo's career in the ring. ipaaiaieaas ale Saeed gee New Rochelle, N.Y., eaptain-elect and forward; Alfred M.

Harry Wills, Kid Norfolk, Tiger Flowers—to say that they are the best in the country. at their weights would not be stretching the truth, Wills’ place was established: years ago. and although not getting any younger he remains the most feared man in the pugilistic field. Kid Norfolk's mark has stood for years and he has managed to maintain the same high standard. But, Tiger Flowers is a neweomer and has yet to reach the zenith of. his power, The sad story. of this trio is the wilful dodging of them by white fighters and the policy of promoters in ignoring them. Firpo, Spalla, Romero Rojas and other green foreigners.are rushed to this country: and: given. precedence over Wills for big purse fights. Court action was threatened by Gibbons and Tumney:to see who would meet Carpentier, the Frenchman, while neither will try-his luck against. Norfolk: although’ handsome offers have: been: made to both. According to his manager Walk Miller, Flowers is ready to meet any light-heavyweight in the country. He has’ scored’ three victories in rapid succession in New York and already. is a: big favorite with Gotham. boxing fans, Flowers gets columns of space and page: headlines in the dailies of Atlanta, Georgia, which testifies to his popularity in. those parts. Yet, al- though able to deliver the goods, and a credit to the game, he is denied be- cause of his color, a chance at the highest’ honor of his. profession. The prize fight game as conducted: today. needs: much house-cleaning. In the old days champions fought every: two or three months, now they fight every two or three years. A viteory for Wills over Dempsey would do more to restore the game to normaley than anything else. Not alone, would it mean a reduction in the amount of the purses but a éolored champion would have to meet all comers. Boxing Commissions would see to. that. ‘Then again, Wills, is an extraordinary type of prize fighter. Few in the ring compare with him in culture and refinement. Will he ever get his chance? Our optimism is wavering, There is a faint hope that “public opinion” will overpower “race prejudice” and give him the opportunity to restore the heavyweight championship to the Race. | CONCERNING FRATERNAL ATHLETIC INFLUENCES In another column of this issue is a very interesting article on fraternal influences in. college athleties, as taken from Dr. Alexander's speech at the recent C. I. A. A. meeting. It is common gossip that fraternity interferences sway athletic questions, large and small. Fraternity strength elect prac- tically all captains and managers of various athletic teams, very much in the same order as politicians name their men . This procedure of following party lines frequently cause the best man to lose out. Our college fraternities should not insist that a member be named because he belongs to this or that fraternity and disregard his capabilities, The Tribune Sport Columns are open to any fraternity official who may. de- sire to take up this issue, either in defense of the present procedure or sug- guesting new plans. THE HOWARD BOARD OF ATHLETIC CONTROL “What has happened to the Board of Athletic Control at Howard Univer- sity?” We were asked by one interested in athletic affairs at the Univer- sity. This individual like many others expected great things of the Board. According to the original plans, the Board was to have legislative authority with the power of full and complete management of all intercollegiate ath- letie games and contests. To date the chief thing done by the Board was to elect a football coach for next year. No other announcements in conjimetion with the fall ath letie season has been forthcoming, although the public should know. what hour the “classic” will be played and if arrangements are being made to play any other games in the Griffith Stadium. -It was once reported that a Graduate Manager of Athletics was to have been named. Nothing further has been heard on this question. enn ee ee ec a 7 HILLS’ THREE-BASE HIT AIDS Potomac: Notes | WHITE SOX TO WIN The Potomac scored their first victory of the season over a white club Sunday, defeating the strong Elizabeth City nine of New Jersey, 17 to 8 The game wa svery much of a slugfest. Hampton, the local’s big right-hander was fairly, effective. He also connected for a home run with three on. Hampton “incidentally brought his home run total up to five. It was no surprise to see Manager Taylor switch him to the outfield for one of the Lincoln games. Goodrich worked the “hidden ball” trick on Seales of the Lincolns with Manager Gans coaching the base. Manager Taylor has given up all attempts to’ land the Birmingham players. Jones, the southpaw slugger has been on the shelf with a broken leg since the season began. It- will be weeks before he will be able to play. ] However, the local pilot in making an effort to land other well-recom- mended players. Taylor is determined to remain in the running for pennant and if any of his players falter, ef- forts will be made to replace them. When the champion Hilldale club makes its initial appearance here on june 8 and 9, the greatest crowd on record will-greet the visitors. Fans that haven’t been to a game in years have expressed themselves as.sure of seeing the great Philadelphia nine in action, HILLS’ THREE-BASE HIT AIDS WHITE SOX TO WIN The Huntsville Athletic Club hit the ball hard, but lost to the Mary- land White Sox by the score 6-5.

One of the most cherished rights of the human race is the right of a person to select his own companions. Naturally enough will he select those whose interests and tastes are nearly compatible with his own. It is to the credit of the human race that we seek, for our com- panions, those who have traits of excellence that appeal to us. It is an old but true expression that “birds of a feather flock to- gether”; and it is but natural that, having selected for his asso- Giates those in whom he sees traits of excellence, and, comparing them with others of his acquaintance not so endowed, the indivi- vidual should then begin to imagine that his selected associates are a little bit better than the rest of the people. It is an easy step from thence to the belief, or rather self-flattery, that the individual himself—being also selected as an equal by those whom he thus has begun to believe better than other people, is himself of a little finer clay than others. One of the good results derived from this sort of thing is, that the self-determined “better class,” in trying to live up to their be- liefs—as is the way of human kind—cultivate the arts of civili- lization. Gentility has, among its good fruits, the improvement of the arts and sciences, and also the betterment of manners to- gether with a pride of family tradition that is usually honorable; but the penalty that too frequently has to be paid both by the so- called “better class” and society in general is too high. - These people cannot but lose their common touch. The so-called “hetter-class” begin to believe that the rights of others are infe- rior to theirs. They also tend to assume that all excellence be- gins and ends in their class. In fear that they may overstep the involved amenities that proclaim their degree, they lose a great deal of personal independence. They frequently pay for their so- cial excellence in the loss of manly virtues. They thin society out. This is not a tirade against the “better class” of people. In reality there is no such group. Because a certain person or class of persons are more substantially fixed financially, because they have acquired more education, are more polished socially, or have more power politically, is no assurance that they are “better” than anyone else. The delusion that one man is “better” or belongs to a “better class” or “better race” of people resides only in his or their own mind. Of all the races of the earth, the Negro, es- pecially in America, has suffered the most from the arrogant as- sumption that some people are inherently “better” than others. If we admit that some Negroes are “better” than others be- cause they are more fortunately situated, no matter in what re- spect, how may we consistently deny that aur white ‘fellow citi- zens are not better than we are? Have they not mére of every- thing that the world deems of Value? We do not believe that there is any such-thing as a “better class.” The human race is one great family. Men’s achievements redound to their glory and their honor but do not set them apart as a “better” class, group or race. ‘ WHY NO BATHING FACILITIES The bathing beach on the Tidal Basin was opened Wednesday for three-fourths of the population of the national capital. The other one-fourth have no facilities and are deprived of even using the beach that was opened Wednesday, although it is maintained by the taxes of all the taxpayers of the District. Taxation with- out the opportunity to benefit from the tax thus spent is as much tyranny today as taxation without representation was tyranny in the days of the Revolutionary war of this country. Two years ago Congress appropriated $25,000 to supply bath- ing facilities for Washington’s population that was deprived of such outdoor recreation. The time limit for the appropriation to remain unspent will expire June 30th and the $25,000 will auto- matically revert to the treasury. If it does revert to the treasury, Secretary of War Weeks, will be responsible for it. The public bathing facilities of the District come under his department and he has the responsibility of spending the appropriation for bath- ing facilities. Not only has Mr. Weeks failed to prepare the fa- cilities but he has insulted the one-fourth of Washington’s popula- tion by proposing a segregated beach in a number of instances. And Mr. Weeks hails from New England! But he is a rich mdn and cares precious little about people in less favored circum- stances. Golored people of this city and of the nation at large have re- received no consideration from either the Harding or Coolidge administrations. Mr. Coolidge has been president for nine months. He hails from New England, too, but there is not a ripple in the affairs of the Negro giving any relief whatever of segregation, humiliation or dissatisfaction. How can this admin- istration ask for and expect the support of the people that it so wantonly ignores? Ds. . | “Bison” is Some Book (Continued from page 1) - Montgomery, Black and W.

MAJOR HYLAN ASKED TO SEE “ALL GOD'S CHILLLUN GOT WINGS” New York City—The Provincetown Players sent a letter inviting Mayor Hylan to attend a performance of “All God’s Chillun Got Wings” when. that play re-opens, May 26, The letter suggests that, in view of his refusal to permit children to appear in the first scene, the manage- ment would like to give the play with the children in it for this one per- fermee and then abide by whatever reconsidered decision he might make. The Mayor in refusing the permit said he had neither seen nor read the play. SPENCER BILL Hearings were held on the Spencer Bill proposing a Negro Commission ‘to study the racial problem, by a sub- committee of the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Senate last Saturday, May 24th. Appearing in favor of the bill was Giles B. Jackson, of Rich- mond, Prof. Jessie Lawson and Atty. Joseph Stewart of this city, while William O. Walker opposed the meas- ure. It is doubtful if the bill will come up before the adjournment of Congress ADVERTISE IN THE WASHINGTON fists SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 | By Wellington A. Adams SS SSS SSS SS LILLIAN EVANS-TIBBS IN F. a Miss Jennie Tyler, Mrs. Rosa Hi! WELL RECITAL Mr. Percy Shands of the Metropc Mrs. Lillian Evans-Tibbs, soprano appearing in her farewell recital at Miner Normal Community Center last Monday evening, made a host of new friends when this delightful singer charmed an assembly of admirers and music-lovers. While a good sized au- dience attended the recital, far toc few availed themselves of the wel- come privilege of hearing Mrs. Tibbs, ‘Tt takes such grace and charm as ‘this artist possesse sto reach across ‘to an audience and have them make ‘up in appreciation what they lacked ‘in numbers, The program opened with Polon- ae E Flat minor by Chopin, fol- lowed by “Invocation from Radamis. to” (Handel) and “Caro Nome from “Rigoletto” (Verdi). “Song of the Bride” (Rimsky-Korsakov), “Le Pap- ‘ilon” (Fourdrain) and “Die Lorlei” (Liszt) were next presented. We ‘were unavoidably detaincd and failed ‘to hear this part of the pjrogram as presented during intermission. | Mr. Bernard Walton ecntrbiuted two piano numbers to the program. ‘They were “Du Bist die Run” (Schu- bert-Liszt), and “Concert Etude” /(MeDowell), playing with abundan: technique and dynamic contrasts. | Mrs. Tibbs sang fervently “Goin’ Home” (Dvorak) and in Burleighs’ “Hard Trials” the quaint Negro spir- itual, she struck a humorous vein al- though tainted with @ religious fer- vor akin to Negro cabin life of long ‘past days. “By and By” (Burleigh) ‘another Negro theme, was treated with reverence and dignity. | In the closing group of songs “At ‘the Well” (Hageman) was beauti- fully sung, the artiste: displayed en- ‘thusiasm and warmth. “The Brown- ies” by Leoni was a delectable little piece and she sang a charming song ‘by Scott “The Winds in the South,” ‘encorihg with ‘Parting” a song. The program was weil built up to a fitting climax and the artiste delighted in the soft melodies and merry runs. Also one feels her queenly yet gra- cious presence reflecting by its poise the genuine stage artist. Washington may well feel rroud of this singer, a native product, who possesses a beautiful voice of pure and even quality, obeying her every whim, whether in subtle delicacy, in roguish and dramatic moods, or when gayly romping through liquid scale- passages of vocal skill. Mrs. Tibbs is sailing for Paris June 21. Miss Helen Wheatland, at the piano gave Mrs. Tibbs intelligent co-opera- tion. ANNIE L.

We were fortunate to hear the last four numbers pro- grammed and it was sufficient. Gos. ‘sens’ “The Old Music Box” she ha¢ to repeat with its fine delicacy. Brahms was heard in an “Intermez- zo, Op. 119” and his “Capriccio, Op 76, No. 2” which was given a dramat- ie quality.

ASBURY CHURCH GIVES CHOIR RECEPTION Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. J. U. King, D.D., Pastor, ten- dered their senior choir a grand re- ception at the residence of one of the members, Mr. W. C. Chase, 1916 10th Street, Northwest, Wednesday even- ing, May 14th, 1924. | It was a most delightful affair and i worthy of imitation by other churches. We are told that the Asbury Church officially. donates a sum annually for this choir function and it shows that they ap- preciate the services and sacrifices of their volunteer singers, Few if any other churches are diong this as a fanifestation of their good-will to- wards the choir-folk but they certain- ly should wake up to @ better sense of appreciation of their singers. They fete the pastor, officials and other: departments of their church and not. once think of the choir year after year even though some of them are unworthy. Some choirs by bad at- tendance, jll-mannered conduct and too much talkfest and tattling do not merit consideration by their church but there are others that do. Select the good choirs and give them an an- nual banquet as Asbury is doing, ‘thereby improving the morale and good-will among the membership. A good singing choir is one thing but a good singing choir coupled with good conduct and regularity is quite a difference and of that possible few may be found. We congratulate As- bury officials and the choir, Among them a wholesome spirit exists which should be a model for othet local choirs. Remarks were made by William H. Johnson, D. C. Richardson, Gentry Harrison, Miss Estelle Hawkins, Mrs. Belle Sprague, Miss Ida Price, presi- dent, and Ferrol Gibbs, master of ceremonies. Miss Laura E, Tross of South America was introduced. A- mong others present were Mrs. Ferrol Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Sumner Beale, Mr. and Mrs. Gentry Hairston, Mr. and Mrs. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., Mr. and Mrs, Albert F.

THE MORTALITY .TABLE AND INSURANCE CALCULATIONS (Continued from page one.) magnitude of the interest factor; the necessity of large accumulations and what amount they must have on hand at the end of each year for each predetermined value of insur- ance under the class of policy for which the table is derived. The last amount, known as the Terminal net value, or reserve, is of great im- portance, and it is toward this ac- cumulation that every Company bends its efforts. Failure to do so might be fatal and any surplus over the required amount (for the law re- quires a Company to keep the requi- site amount on hand) is easily return- able in the form of dividends on par- ticipating policies. In Life Insurance it is necessary to keep in mind, at all times, that “a surplus is more easily handled than a deficit.” If a Company in the business of Life Insurance is to survive and meet all the provisions of its contract, as is required by law, it mist charge an adequate premium. No Mortality table can tell the exact death-rate but it is necessary to have a stand- ard and to conform to it. The Anierican Table is founded upon the experience of American life compa- nies and represents a mortality some- what higher than any well managed Company ought to experience, thus leaning toward the “safe side” in providing for death losses. The rate of interest assumed in calculating net premiums is a low one, three per cent, a rate sure to be earned and therefore a safe one. The net cost, the as- sumed interest and the “loading” of contingent expenses make up the pre- miwm and assures the Company of a sufficient amount to carry out its contract. These and other requisite safe- guards are used to insure the safety of The Federal Life Insurance Com- pany and to insure the maintenance of its place as the Company of service ant natinfactian.

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. SCRIPTURE READING Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. St. Matthew 7:7,8. OBSERVE THIS Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name; age, address, school, and school class. Please write your age after your name in "every letter." Little Wee "Curley Head" Dear Editor: I have been hearing my larger sisters reading the "Children's Page," so I thought I would love to be a little Tribunite. And I also wish for my pen-name to be "Curley Head," as my hair is curley. I will send you one of my pictures when mother has some taken. I have two sisters and two brothers—Marian, Lucinda, Shermont and Reginald. Give all of the Tribunites my love. "CURLEY HEAT (9) A Friend in Providence 35 Conduit Street, Providence, R. I. Dear Editor: This is my first letter to the . Tribunites. I read the "Children's Page" of another member's paper and I have become interested. My name is Mabel Collins. I attend Bridgam Grammar School. I select "Blossom" for my pen-name. I am fourteen years old. MABEL COLLINS Hello. Edna Dear Editor: This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading the page for over two years. I have been interested all that time. I go to Miner Normal School in the 4-B grade. Miss Ruth L. Kemp is my teacher. I would like to become a member of the "Children's Page." For my pen-name I would like "Jane Elizabeth." Here is a little verse that I like: The bleeding hearts were blossomed out Like little valentines, And the baby buds were coming On the honey-suckle vines; The pansies and the violets smiled Up a greeting gay, "I think," said Jane Elizabeth, "Twill be a busy day." EDNA W. PERCELL Dear Edna: I could not read the pen-name you submitted. I will use this one, "Jane Elizabeth," until I hear from you again.—Ed. Musician is as Busy as Ever Dear Editor: I am sending in some names of more members. They are as follows: Alice Coates Coates: "Queen of Sheba"; Louise Harris: "House Girl"; Claude Alexander: "Jazz Sheik"; Robert J. Harlan: 'Wild Bill Cody'; Lucas Howard: "Buffalo Bill." I hope these persons will be accepted as members of the Club. Gee! This makes eight members I've gotten in a week. Love to all the Tribunites and members. EDITOR'S CHATTER "Sir Lancelot": Your drawings were very good—fine. Send me more of them. Each time you must strive to do better. Your letter concerning John Brown was a prize winner. Come to the Tribune office and ask for Mr. Frazier, so that he can give you your tickets. Are you trying to get new members for the Pen-name Club? Have you joined? Do so at once. Select a name and send it in. Look over the list of Tribunites' names that are published on this page and see whether you can select for yourself a name just as pretty, comical, or as nice as any already selected. Do you ever hear anybody in your family use the word nigger? If so, remind that person of the fact that we should not and cannot afford to use that word. To use the word "nigger" shows that one is either thoughtless, prideless, or ignorant. Above all, be careful and thoughtful, and have enough race pride to never use the word "nigger." NEVER USE THE WORD "NIGGER" ETTER BOX L.P.L.N - 192K I guess next week I will have more members to join us. On my school report I have gotten "E" all the way through two times in succession. I am quite sure I will be promoted to the 8-A grade in June. I will have my photograph made sometime soon and I will send you one. I'm sending my love to you and all the Tribunites. "MUSICIAN" Somebody Knows Dear Editor: I am writing you a gem and it is called "Somebody Knows." Somebody knows when your heart aches, and everything seems to go wrong. Somebody knows when the shadows need chasing away with a song. Somebody knows when you're lonely, tired discouraged and blue. Somebody wants you to know Him and know that he dearly loves you. Somebody cares when you're tempted, and the world grows dizzy and dim; Somebody cares when you're weakest, and farthest away from Him; Somebody grieves when you're fallen though you are not lost from His sight; Somebody waits for your coming taking the gloom from your night. Somebody loves you, when weary; Somebody loves you when strong, Always He's waiting to help you— Watching you, one of the throng Needing His friendship so holy, Needing His watch-care so true. His name? We call His name "Jesus." His people? Just I, and just you. I am eleven years old, my birthday was May 20. I am in the 5-B grade. My teacher's name is Miss E. V. Campbell. My mother's name is Mrs. Sarah Frances Bland. I go to Ambush School. MARGARET BLAND Welcome Dear Editor: I would like to join the "Children's Page." I would have joined before but could not find time to do so. I am 15 years of age, and I feel as though I would like to be with you. I would like for my penname to be "Cleopatra." PEARL L.

MEMORIAL DAY By (Mrs.) CARRIE WILLIAMS CLIFFORD With what emotion do we greet this day! Thinking of those brave men who threw away Their lives for some great principle or cause Which they held dearer than Jehovah's laws: (Graven in stone upon high Sinai's hill The clear command of God, "Thou shalt not kill.") But by some nobler enterprise inspired, Or by some purpose high and holy fired, These have, with puny arm sought to redress And to avenge a fellow-man's distress; And therefore we strew flowers on this day To those great souls who knew no better way— And kneeling on the sacrificial sod Inhale the incense rising up to God.

DYNAMO OR BRAIN BRAIN LACE Nose THROAT ARMS LAMBERT LUNGS NERVES STOMACH PANCREAS ERLEM ROMETYS SMALL BOWEL LARGE BOWEL COPERATIVE GRAIN THIGHS LEGS CHIROPRACTIC WILL GIVE YOU HEALTH TESTIMONIAL My Dear Doctor Cartter: 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. Cartter, the Chiropracter, and I will never forget that Friday evening when Dr. Cartter 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. Cartter of 2001 9th St. N.W. Washington, D. C., 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. SPENCER HAYES, 214 Elm St., N.W. MAY 1st CLORES, OCT. 1st E. W.
