R. H. SHIPLEY KILLED IN ACCIDENT TENNESSEE CHAFING UNDER STIGMA OF LYNCHING, OFFERS $5,000 REWARD FOR CAPTURE Vol. IV, No. 32 R. H. H. U. Stud TENNESSEE CH STIGMA OF LYN $5,000 REWAR Nashville, Tenn.-The lynching near this city Monday night of Sam Smith, Negro youth, has stirred the community as it has not been stirred in years. The whole city is fired with indignation and from all quarters come demands that the murderers be apprehended and punished. The Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday and offered a reward of $5000 for their arrest and conviction. $1100 of the amount was subscribed on the spot and a committee was appointed to raise the balance at once. The Rotary and Exchange Clubs, the Ministerial Alliance., the presidents of all the colleges, the secretaries of the Southern Methodist Mission Board, and a group of prominent business men each met and issued statements condemning the crime in unmeasured terms and calling upon the officials to bring the perpetrators to justice. Personal statements to the same effect were given to the press by many leading citizens, including Mayor Howse, President W. R. Cole of the N. C. & St. L. Railroad, Dr. W. D. Weatherford and J. D. Burton, chairman and secretary of the State Interracial Committee, Bishop E. D. Mouzon, of the Methodist Church South, the presidents of the various civic clubs, and many others. Both daily papers are joining vigorously in the chorus of condemnation and in the demand that the law be vindicated. No more dastardly crime has ever been committed in this city, says the Tennessean. It was a reversion to jungle methods, to the rule of the beast, which the God-fearing citizens of this community will not tolerate. The perpetrators of this outrage must be hunted down and brought to justice. We have no choice. The Banner Says: For those who participated in the crime there can be no excuse. Every mother's son of them should be run down and revealed and then indicted and brought to trial. The officers must go to it at once and there must be no failure. Our people will look to them for quick action and will be satisfied with nothing short of a complete rounding up of every culprit who was a party to the crime. Smith, who had shot and wounded a white man a few miles from Nashville, had himself been wounded, placed under arrest and sent for treatment to the general hospital here. Monday night masked men raided the hospital and took the wounded youth to the scene of the shooting. There they hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. This is the first lynching in Tennessee since 1922 and the sixth in the past seven years. It was believed that the state had about rid itself of this crime and keen humiliation is felt because of this new outbreak.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1924 Where the $75,000 Jim Crow Bathing Beach Will Be Located PROPOSED NEW BATHING BEACH TIDAL PRESENT BATHING BEACH RESERVOIR BAND STAND R I V E R In addition to being a Jim Crow Be ach, the beach is located as far as possible from the Municipal beach and also the street car lines. It is nearly a $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile to the nearest car line. The location of this beach is meeting with much protest. JIM CROW BEACH STUDENT HELD IN WHITES WIN FIRST IS XMAS PRESENT JAIL AFTER CLASS ROUND OF FIGHT FROM CONGRESS FIGHT ON "HILL" IN BLOOMINGDALE With very little accomplished since it convened, the Congress adjourned last Saturday for the Christmas holidays. The second deficiency appropriation bill and the naval reconditioning bill are the only important measures which have been finally disposed of during this session. Both of these measures came over from the last session. The second deficiency appropriation bill had in it an item which provided $75,000 for the construction of a jim-crow bathing beach on the west shore of the Tidal Basin. While this measure was finally disposed of, efforts will be made to have it repealed when this Congress reconvenes or at the first session of the Sixty-ninth Congress. Plans for the construction of the beach have been submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts for approval. It is possible, however, that these plans will be held up to permit those who are opposed to a single bathing pool for the entire population of the District of Columbia to appeal to Congress for a repeal of this section. Colored constituents of several members of Congress are also reported as being opposed to the construction of a jim-crow beach. The House of Representatives has passed three supply bills, but the Senate is mired in the Muscle Shoals squabble and there is no telling when this measure will be disposed of. So far as colored persons are concerned, the Interior Department appropriation bill is the most important of the supply bills upon which the House has acted. Upon points of order by Representatives Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, the Howard University items totaling $406,000 were stricken before the bill was passed and sent to the Senate. It has been referred to the Senate appropriations committee, of which Senator Frances E. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming, is the chairman. It is expected that this committee will restore most of the stricken items. Hearings on these items, however, have no yet been held. The Congress will reconvene on December 29. Walter M. Miles, a Howard University sophomore, is held in the District jail in default of $2,000 bail to await the result of knife wounds he inflicted upon Clifford Smith, a Howard freshman. The affray followed a debate in Rankin Memorial Chapel between Freshmen and Sophomores, the subject of which was, "Resolved That the Negro Should Form an Independent Political Organization." The affirmative was upheld by the freshmen team composed of Paul Miller, Genevieve Lomax and Edward Beaubian. The sophomores had the negative side of the proposition. William E. Allen, Clifton L. Banks and Percy E. Newbie were the sophomore representatives. The freshmen won by a two to one vote. The judges were James C. Waters, Jr., James A. Cobb and Miss Martha MacLear. Percy E. Newbie wa given the cup for the best individual work. He was also awarded a similar trophy last year. The debate in the chapel, however, was not final. The scene was shifted to the campus. A class rush was staged and in the general melee that followed, Smith was stabbed. The authorities at the Freedmen's Hospital report that he is rapidly recovering from the wounds which at first were thought to be serious. He was stabbed in the left shoulder and it was found at the hospital that the outer covering of his left lung had been punctured. Miles is 20 years of age. He gave his address as 121 Balm Street, Harrisburgh, Pa. Smith is 21 years old. He is from Hartford, Conn. He is a 1925 graduate of Hampton Institute and was a candidate for quarterback on the football team.

All military, fraternal, civic organizations and the public are invited. Eight o'clock p.m., January 8, 1924. Justice A. A. Hoehling has issued a temporary injunction restraining Sereno S. Ivy, a colored man, from occupying No. 40 Randolph place, Northwest, or from leasing, renting or conveying this property to another colored person. An injunction was first issued prohibiting Mrs. Minnie E. Torrey from conveying this property to a colored person. It was later discovered that she had conveyed the property before the court had issued the injunction and had moved out. The bill of complaint was then amended and Mr. Ivy made a defendant and enjoined from moving into the property pending final determination of the suit. This property is in the Bloomingdale section, which is the center of agitation against Negroes purchasing or occupying property in certain residential sections. The action to prohibit colored persons from buying or occupying property in this section is based upon an alleged covenant appearing in the deeds, which is as follows: COMMENCEMENT DATES FOR FEBRUARY CLASSES Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools, January 29, 1925, 8:00 o'clock p.m., Dunbar High School Auditorium.

Shipley, for years a prominent druggist and business man in this city, was almost instantly killed Monday when his car, which was being towed in, overturned. The accident was a peculiar one in as much as the car was not going fast at the time of the accident nor did the car overturn down an embankment. Dr. Shipley was returning from his farm at Shadyside, Md., on the Chesapeake Bay. As his Ford touring car was out of order, he was having it towed back to Washington for repairs. His daughter, Ceccha and a young man who worked for him were in the first car. Dr. Shipley and his son Earl were in the car being towed; Earl was steering. At the "T" House turn, in making a left-hand turn, the tow line shipped on the axle of the Ford car, causing the wheels to cut sharply under the car. Before Earl could even realize what had happened, the car overturned, pinning he and his father under the car. In some manner, the side of the car struck the head of Dr. Shipley, rendering him unconscious. Earl has his back wrenched but not seriously. Dr. Shipley was rushed to Annapolis, Md., for medical attention. He never regained consciousness and died a few minutes after he reached the hospital. Rezin H. Shipley was born in Howard County, Md., 62 years ago. He came to Washington about 30 years ago and has resided here since. He started out as a street cleaner. Later he became a patrol driver, holding this position for over 15 years. He studied pharmacy at Howard University and graduated. About 15 years ago, he purchased Douglass Hall Building at 2501 Nicholas Avenue, Anacostia, and opened Shipley's Pharmacy. He operated this business successfully until last March when he sold it to Dr. Walker. After retiring from the drug business, Dr. Shipley began the development of a summer resort hotel at Shadyside, Md. So successful was his first year, he had planned to enlarge his place. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Fannie Johnson Shipley, to whom he had been married for over 22 years; two children, Occelia and Earl. He was a member of the Elks, Masons, Woodmen of the World and the Cliff Rock Association. Funeral services were from Campbell A. M. E. Church. DEFUNCT BANK CREDITORS ASKED TO FILE CLAIMS Attorneys Charles H. Houston and August W. Gray, receivers of the defunct Union Laborers' Bank, have been authorized by the court to make publication requiring all creditors of the bank to exhibit their claims to the receivers at their offices, 615 F Street, Northwest, before May 1, 1925, or excluded from the benefit of the sets. They alleged that the creditors of the bank were so numerous that they could not be reached except by publication. Attorneys Henry Lincoln Johnson and George E. C. Hayes have formally entered their appearance on behalf of J. Finley Wilson, 907 U Street, who was one of the trustees of the bank. No other attorneys have entered their formal appearance on behalf of any of the other defendants. It is understood, however, that William C. H. Hart, former instructor in criminal law in the law school of Howard University, will represent some of the trustees. LOCALS AND SOCIETY Learn Mechanical] Dentistry Three to nine months' course.

J. H. DAILY, PASSES AWAY After a week's illness, Mrs. Argean V. Daily, wife of the late Rev. J. H. Daily, former pastor of Asbury A. M. E. Church and founder of the People's Congregational Church of Washington, passed to the great beyond Tuesday, November 25th, 1924. She is survived by eight children: Alfred H.; Richard S.; Hattie E. Ross; Daisy D. Stevens; Mary E. Plummer; Dan U.; Laura A. Warf and Ruth E. Ferguson. The life of Mrs. Daily is so linked with that of her husband, that in speaking of her, one naturally thinks of the other. Rev. J. H. Daily, a teacher fifty-four years ago in Liberty, Md., resigned as teacher to study as a minister. He had not the opportunity at that time of a college education, but as Abraham Lincoln, he spent most of his spare time studying and getting ready for the time when he was to come forth as one of the greatest orators in the Colored Methodist Church. He was awarded the highest honors in his delivery of a test sermon among the ministers at that time. His library for many years was the largest among the colored Methodist ministers and is still as he left it on his estate in Maryland. In this library, most of his time was spent in the evening after retiring from the church, reading such books as Pope's Essay on Man, Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, etc. His life companion, Argean V. Daily, from one of the oldest and best families of Frederick County, married at 18 years of age. Her father, Frank Penn, was a man of high ideals and religious devotion, instilling in his daughter that great religious devotion which enabled her to find so much solace in reading her bible every night before retiring. Mrs. Argean V. Daily dedicated her life to her husband and children inspiring them with a zeal to the highest aim in life, a helping hand to their fellowmen. The fine qualities of mind and heart of Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Daily gained the confidence, admiration and love of their many friends who will always remember them. The regular December meeting of The Washington City Chiropractors Association was held on the 17th at the rooms of The Central Chiropractic College, 1924 7th Street, Northwest. Several visiting chiropractors were in attendance. Dr. Whittey is about to depart to Pittsfield, Mass., where she is to enjoy a large and lucrative practice. She is leaving many patients and friends behind, who extend to her their best wishes. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Alexander VanRoyan, Dr. Chas. A. Thompson as Secretary. The thirty-one chiropractors who have successfully passed the examinatoin and become members of the Association were awarded their beautiful certificates, to which the words of the poet Keats fittingly applies—"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." The Association is in a flourishing condition, with several applicants upon the waiting list. CONFIDENCE M. B.

"How We Won The First Prize" By Rev. M. J. Key By Rev. M. J. Key I have been asked on several occasions to explain how the "first prize" to the Holy Land was won. The first of April 1923 a notice was sent Mrs. Key, similar to the one she now has announcing a "Round the World Contest" by the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., of Indianapolis, Ind. I lost no time in expressing my desire to my friends who formed the "WE" combination. July 1st, 1923, the contest closed its doors to all who had not entered; with more than three-hundred contestants at its starting post willing to compete in a twelve-months' struggle. The first quarter passed mildly by. To Whom It May Concern:— few changes took place; I was fortunate enough to pull up to second place in the national race and first in my district, (Five), for which I received a check for ten dollars. The second quarter found things beginning to hum, we were fortunate enough to lead the entire field and for our services received fifteen dollars. This was in January this year; most of the fraternal organizations were assisting, two cousins one in North Carolina and another in Oklahoma and my childhood friends in Alabama, "We" which includes all my friends in the city headed by the local club and its president who managed our campaign, and totaling over a thousand persons decided that we would walk away with the third quarter in one, two, three order. A greater mistake never has been made; the other districts were bidding or the third quarter also.

Medical School Grid Teams in Action “BULLDOG” “WILLIAMS AND OTHER FORMER STARS IN POST-SEASON CLASSIC (By Kelly Miller, Jr.) The Sophomore-Freshmen Medics played one of the best grid games seen on the campus this year; the former winning 18 to 0. The sopho: mores instgiated a new system of sig. nals and named the members of the team after members of the baeteriolo- gical group such as_ streptococcus, staphylococcus and other kinds of coccus. For instance the signal 8-1- Streptococcus, the fullback and cap- tain “Bulldog” Williams would carry the bail through the hole made in the line by “Turkey Breast” Bagley and “Big Jaw” MacDonald, all-American tackle from Va. Union University. “Nat” Lamar of Atlanta sUniversity fame, was knocked for a row Of tin cans after the kick-off by Jason, the former Lincoln star. Joe Carter of Brown University made two flashy runs but they were brought to a stop by-the: traffie‘cops of the sophomores. Lewis of the Western Conference tried’ to bite ‘the Bulldog” in the back and Wyche tried to bite the “Bullbog” in the back and Wyche tried ‘to do a trick in astronomy but he soon felt that he was headed towards the Devil’s abode. Wharton tried to do his stuff but his stuff wouldn't fune- tion, “Mush” Jackson, the famous Morehouse end on one of the criss- cross plays almost carried the ball to the other goal and for this he is to be awarded the iron tooth pick which was awarded to Charlie West in the Materia Medica class. As the game progressed it looked as if there would be a row of cadavers but most of the players came back to life. “Sad Sam Peyton of Northwestern and Howar¢ fame made a hole for “Cliff” Gordor of the university of California to rid« through on an elephant. “Giraffe’ Goff caught all passes up to eleva sions of 15 feet and those higher, he did his stuff on a step ladder.

Jr.) Braving the rigors of a zero tem- perature the “Medics” "25 took the measure of the Surgeons "25 in their annual football classic before a large crowd by the score, 13-0. The four ten-minute quarters were crammed with football of a dazzling nature and there is reason to believe that Walter Camp may number several of the bat- tlers among his chosen few for the season’s all-American. - The Medics were easily the better from the first blast of Dr. C. L, Marshall's whistle, but met repeated stubbornness thru- out the first half from their oppo- ments, Uneovering an aerial attack in the second half Gaines on the toss THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1924 Williams Elected to Lead St. Paul football banquet held in the lower au- ditorium of Maurice Hall on Friday evening, December 12th, Lawyer Al- fred Williams, of Ravings, Va., was elected captain of St. Paul's 1025 football team. Williams is a four- year letter man, has won his gold football charm, was selected . All- American quarterback by Gardner, of “The Norfolk Journal and Guide,” in 1922, and will be a freshman in the junior college next year. In 1921, 1922, and 1923, he was varsity quar- terback. .In the first four games*this year he was the generalissimo, but in the last five contests he played in the right halfback position for strategic reasons. The election of Williams was predicted. He is a good student, a prominent athlete, a hard and dili- gent fighter and a young man who up- holds the integrity of the Great’Game. He will pilot a veteran tiger eleven in 1925, and his main objective will be the C.LA.A. championship. Prominent Speakers The eighteen C.LA.A. delegates at- tended the football banquet. Rev." J. Alvin Russell, toastmaster, delivered the words of weleome to the visitors for his father, Archdeacon Russell, founder and principal of St. Paul, whose indisposition prevented his be- ing present. Rev. Russell also gave an excellent talk to the boys. Mr. W. A. Rogers, secretary ‘of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, and president of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation, responded. He expressed the appreciation of the C.LA.A. for the courtesy and hospitality accorded the representatives by official St. Paul. Dr. J. 0. Plammer, former president of the National Medical As- sociation, was the speaker of the oc- casion. His address was eloquent and inspiring. Mr, Charles H. Williams, physical director of Hampton Insti- tute, and secretary-treasurer of the C.LAtA., made a timely and construe. tive talk, He mentioned the work of the Association, with which he has been officially corinected since its or- ganization. St. Paul’s mentors, Mr, Winston Douglas and Mr. Hubert A. Taylor, spoke encourageingly and en- thusiastically. Captain Burrel said, “Boys, I regret that my football career has ended, but I must enter a larger field of service. Fight hard when the odds are against you.” Captain-elect Williams thanked his comrades for the coveted honor ‘bestowed upon him, and said, “I hope to lead the first championship team for St. Paul.” Walker, who has played his last "football game for the Orange and Black, gave his personal athletic history, which was good and interest. ing. He said in part: “I knew noth. ing about football coming to St, Paul I have done my best, and I trust that |I have fully merited all the praise given me.” Cooke, the St. Paul flash recited the “Test.” 14 Receive Letters The varsity “St. P.” in football was awarded Samuel Nathaniel Baker of Toano, Va.; Marvin Herley Boykins, of Buckhorn, Virginia; Clarenec Thornton Brinkley,” of Bowers Hill Va.; Captain Thomas Frisell “Jake’ Burrell, of Roanes, Va.; Jesse Car. larve Byrd, of Blam, N.C.; John Mil ton Coleman, of Blackstone, Vasj-Johr Leroy Jackson, of Branchville, Va.

A. are carrying out their threat te boycott Howard. Mr. Burr, assistant dinee- tor of the Department of Physical Hd- ucation, has recived letters from Un- ion and Hampton to this effect. Over- a dozen basketball games are booked, however. Morehouse, Wilberforce, Johnson C. Smith, Morgan, Storer and a number of white college quints will be seen here this winter. No official word has come from Lincoln. ESTRIDGE FAILED TO GET GAN’S DIAMOND BELT When Larry Estridge defeated “Panama Joe Gans twice for what was advertised the colored middle- weight championship the former did not receive the diamond belt that was supposed to have gone with the title. Probably Gans hocked the belt. Estridge and Paul Berlenbach are booked to clash in New York on De- the gridiron while Howard fell before ‘the Lions of Lincoln, There was: nc outstanding independent grid teams Most of the senior Teddy Bears re- tired from football. The Buffaloes ‘Stonewalls, Preps and a few others kept the interest alive on the Monu- ‘ment Lots. “Nimp” Winters and “Script” Lee local products, gained wide fame as star moundmen of the Hilldale club, winner of the Eastern League pen- nant. Jack Taylor a light heavy- weight boxer who has been making Washington his home, is ereating ‘quite a stir in France knocking out European “white hopes"; Charles Drew, a Dunbar product, won high athletic honors at Amherst. There is much room for improve- ment in every sport. Drastie changes have already been made at Howard. It was reported last year that a group of business men. were planning to build a baseball park. Until a park is gotten local baseball, whether in- dependent or professional, will never reach great heights. Just what effect the action of the Colored Intereolle- giate Athletic Association in refusing to schedule games with Howard, will have, remains to be seen. Howard authorities express the opinion that they will have little trouble in book- ing games. No New Howard €. 1. A.

But when once it is granted that religion is such, a potential factor in every sane person's life, the terrifying question naturally arises: which has the stronger hold upon the Southern white man, religion or race prejudice?

A new production to be staged will begin its rehearsal in Washington, and expections to build a fast beauty chorus composed entirely of Washington girls.

Immediately after he will begin rehearsals in using Howard Theatre at such intervals as will not interfere with their regular performances, the same casting methods used by Flo Zeigfield will be the idea used in casting girls, experience is secondary; form, appearance, personality are the things that will be considered first of all and the clever handling of a genius that makes this his specialty will do the rest.

Or is it to appease a wicked conscience? Whatever the reason is, there is one fact which cannot be explained, it is the white man flatly refuses to accept God by his own plan of salvation, for the white man has substituted a plan of his own brand, that is the jim-crow brand. The brand that stamps a white skin superior to all others, regardless to the fitness of the heart, the brand of religion which mothers race hatred, upholds mobs, encourages violence, is the same brand that will eventually destroy America.

Old grudges eae laid aside like outworn garments. Smiles, expressive of genuine regard and the cheering ery of “Merry Chistmas,” smiles, sympathetic, uncalculating; are freely exchanged, calling forth fragrant and generous sentiments even in the inhuman and cal- Joused. The frigid barriers of convention are broken by friend- ly words or nods. Suspicions are discarded, cynicism is less evi- >t, cold hearts are warmed, as the human element dominates the world and the teachings of Christ hold sway over the hearts of mankind, . May we make:more permanent and abiding the spirit of Christ. May we break from the withering grasp of senseless and de-' humanizing repressions and let the emotions of love, generosity and good will in our lives have larger play. NO EXCUSE FOR “JIM CROW” FOOD SHOW | For a number of years there have been held in this city food shows—which shows are promoted for the purpose of bringing before the public the various food products which one finds on sale at the various stores. During the first few years that these | shows were given they were conducted as public affairs, with no attempt whatever to pull off a jim crow show at some other place, for “Colored” people. At these first few shows all persons were | welcome without regard to color, and so far as we know no friction whatever grew out of this fact. In truth there is no more need or excuse for a separate food show than there would be for a separate food storé. There isn’t a store-keeper in this city who for one moment would listen to a proposition to have sep- arate stores from which different races, colors or classes of people should purchase their goods. Yet, the men who are responsible for the food show listen to propositions from first one schemer and another (unfortunately of our race) to pull off jim-crow food shows. These schemers of course know that such a move does not meet the approval of our people, nor do they care; for they are interested alone in the mere monetary ‘returns which flow into their hands through all kinds of schemes of selling booth space, food and what-not. e Our people do not want jim-crow food shows, automobile shows, or any other kind of jim-crow shows. Our money mixes well in the cash register with anybody else’s money—there being no separate cash drawers in any of these stores. While The Tribune kept silent on several occasions when these separate shows were pulled off, we do not intend to again let’ another pass without our attention. THE OLD AND THE NEW We are turning another page in the history of a nation. On this page we are able to find but little progress. Perhaps the most notable is the election of Attorney Albert George to the post: of Judgeship in Chicago. Yet, in every other phase of human endeavor, except in some phases of racial relationship, we note a general trend for the better. Therefore, we are not discour- aged, because we realize that any change which is to have a last- ing effect upon a race of people, must be gradual. Negro business men have caught a new insight, Negro educa- tors and leaders have a new interest in working for the good of the Race. Despite the fact that many are taking advantage of the state of affairs for selfish purposes, there are a few who have waged a militant fight and worked untiringly to give. the Race a firm footing and a better environment in the world of things. We turn this page, of the Old Year, then, feeling slightly encouraged. Resolutions are in order for the New Year, but in making them it does not necessarily follow that they will be kept nor, in some instances, even remembered. Yet they serve as a guide for the more thoughtful and energetic. A general survey of the condition of the Race shows discrimin- ation, segregation, jim-crowism, and all their attendant evils running. rampant; big business still running little business, in- pretty Nese business, upon the rocks; educational facilities for the Race still lagging behind those for the whites, especially in the Southland ; lack of interest in things racial, political, and econ- omical; lack of unity of purpose and a confusion of economics and religion. Where is to be found a remedy? Is it not in organization and co-operation? Does not the salvation of the Race lie in co- operative economics? Does not the salvation of ‘he Race lie in co-operative economics We can see no surer means. Negro business men should realize that to succeed they must cater to the public: give it what it wants according to its demands. Negro political leaders should realize the importance of beginning within local politics to build up a national aspect and interest for a bet- terment of Race political health. Civic organizations should grasp the situation and learn their particular functions in their “communities. There should be a.separate yet co-ordinated pur- pose in all in giving the Race a just place in a just Republic. The church should give unto the world that which belongs tc the world and to the.soul that which is most needed. It has ex- ercised too much energy in getting money and too little in get- ting souls. The doctrine of Christ—“love to God and love to one another”—is made secondary to the love for money. An- ether year, we hope, will show a gradual separation and yet a co-ordination of the church and the world. - Thought and action are the two prime requisites for progress. Let us hope that neither of these will go wanting during the in- coming New Year.

High fore-| heads may be awaited, and with some show of reason, in families generally possessed of intellect. But our forbears, when we trace! them out, multiply far too bewilderingly all over the lot, for us to. retain faith in their general in- tegrity or diseretion. And when the simian fore- # head does reappcar—“reappeaf” is the word—it o- is odds the simian mind has reappeared also. [ie Here in contre! are, surely, physiological laws, y laws which work at once upon the skull and upon ge the contents thereof, laws which work to a paral- bie lel formation. We can not easily master these, Py F because they are so often so unaccountably abro-| : gated. Thus he who on occasions spoke—and therefore also thought—with “that large utter2| ggg ee ee ee ee ee ga en gor ene ae ee a ca ee as other men have hot had it in them to comprehend, “deep-brow’d Homer,” he into whose noble and natural intellect “new planets” might ana did so magisteriaily and with so wide a liquid and lu- cent leeway “swim’—that man’s forehead was low. : | So to us, unaccountably, may outcrop earlier and disparate strata: simian—in the instance in point, cockney—physiognomi- cal formations, and sometimes—as in the case of Keats—with little or no apparent physiognomical significance. But in men who have lived long, in men whose individual bias and charac- ter have had time to wholly encompass, clench, and mould those features inherited from that so wnindividual past, that past which we so ignominously together inherit—in such faces surely should be indicative, | But would the faces of prominent men be more expressive than. those of other men, that is, laborers or merchants? Since we think with our heads, and since our faces are the mobile ingles tions of those workings within, it appears that, speaking general- ly, in proportion as those workings are distinct—trenchant—our faces will accordingly be distinctly—trenchantly—moulded. Born men of prominence—like born men of science—are the men whose intelligence is more subtle and more complex than that of other men. Intelligence may be profitably applied in practical affairs; it may also prove therein «a hindrance and a betrayal.| The subtle edge of a delicate instrument, if degraded by cutting wood, buckles and betrays; the subtle intelligence, consistently. applied to gross matter, wearies and forgets. For the acquire: ment, from a Pullman car window, of an infinity of tabulatable snapshots the complex mechanism of the most gifted camera is not in order: it takes too long to make up its mind; and it ob- scures the plate by reporting inutile atmosphere. ~ Daily business is a railroad; and, engaged therein, one is sure- ly blessed in the possession of a snapshot mind. But for the business of the man of prominence, the business. which he fol- lows on a like footing with the poet, the author, the preacher, et cetra, the noble business of expressing the heart through words, the gifts of the mind are indeed in order. If he be without them, his heart may with desire wax big, and it may break each spring- tide: we shall not hear it. Let the lover, let the mite and dancer —them whose eyes and lips and feet syllable a‘vich vocabulary— deploy their variegated eloquence with scant benefit of thought. If one would express one’s self in words, one must think. Thought moulds the face. The faces of men of prominence should be and are, in an especial degree, expressive. No one! can look at the face of Dr. Alain Leroy Locke and not get some inkling “of the man behind—of that immaculate and penetrative -egotism, of that egotism which he so manifestly tends and waters, of that egotism which is so consummately terraced for our be- holding. (By way of explanation, I believe that intellectual at- tainment can best be measured by the scale of appreciation—some say, by the scale of production, even so that production will stand more or less by appreciation of its function. Especially is this true of men whose function it is to influence. Mr. A, intellect- ually, may be far superior to Mr. B, but Mr. B, aided perhaps by personality and other characteristics, is more able to create an attitude of appreciation of his abilities and, therefore, by ap- preciation, can accomplish more, be that more, bad or good. The names herein mentioned may or may not be the names of men of the highest intellectual type, yet, by appreciation, they serve the purpose here intended.) No one can observe the face of Dean Kelly Miller without si- multaneously glimpsing the waned colours of a landscape—or is it not perhaps rather a figured wall-paper?—in which sloping- shouldered and shuffling-gaited protagonists assert, and with a surely valid niceness, the just potency of apricot pajamas. Who has scen pictured that indecent, snail-nude cranium of Italy’s' Hero-Poet, and not seen pictured that indecent, snail-nude soul, as well? Who can regard the bouncing facial deportment of the bouncing T. B. Macaulay, and not ery out “What a Jack-in-the- | pulpit is here!”? | There is no daguerreotype of Frederick Douglass which does |not register high genius and high misery. That prodigiously | Vaulted forehead; that forehead of clear ebony; that forehead | which has been set—with a pathos the eyes tell us—upon a petri- | fied vak; an oak which assents to Destiny; an oak which slumps j askew. Ng man can look upon the face of John Keats, and not— | for all that strangely Lamian forehead—perceive and know the richness of a poet’s heart. _ it is not for naught that of the writings of Booker T. Wash- ington we would re-read most often those which relate to his own actual experiences; and, in particular, to his own brief and men- aced childhood. Looking into that pained face we recognize, we | conceive, the painful and contested adversities of a Race: dull, | wide twilights hesitant upon still plains; the ientative exhilara- | tion of meagre and nude birches; an elk, earthy of skin, whose freshly-budding antlers admonish of resurgence within. The whiif and penetration of apprehended sperm, plangent in twi- | light; the need of the aware male--odd, tentative, remote; and | yet so multifariously plangent, and yet so multitudinously astride earth’s creaking saddle. | And thus our men of prominence turn their phrases from out | their hearts. In them, the head and heart are one. lor's, and Best and Co. department stores in New York City.

Hall gave atmosphere and color to the occasion, followed by: the first chorus, “Hail, the Hope of ail Ages” which for symetry, attack, and voice blending proved a rare com- bination of effectiveness and power not heretofore heard from the lips of Asbury choristers; and as they sang the beauty of their marvelous en- semble began to dawn upon us, that, here at last we were listening to as finely balanced choir as exists in Washington today. ° Mrs. €ora Beale in a. soprano recitative, “Ye Shall Find the Babe” and later a duet with Mrs. Florence E. Brown, Mezzo-Soprano, in “Hath Earth No Room for Thee” was a thing of beauty, both singing with intensive tone color.. Mrs. Brown is a real “find” with a yoice so resonant, deep, rich, and tinged with velvet hue that one marvels why so fine a voiee re- mains “hidden under a bushel,” as it were. Both Mrs. Beale and Mrs, Brown possess good natural voices. The choir next sang “Ye Portals Swing” with such magie grandeur that it would have done credit to a eathedfal choir. Their phrasing was marked and timely, the text. was given due reverence, their rhythm superb and shading exquisitely done. Certainly none could expect more. An- other chorus, “Where is He the Heav- enly Shepherd” was given equally as good finese. Douglas C. Richardson, tenor, in “Comfort Ye My People” and Mrs. Minnie Richardson Powell, soprano, in “Star of the New Born King” both of whom gave fine inter- pretation and reading to their solos, had splendid poise. To the credit of Mrs. Powell may we add, that, she held the only correct choir position while singing throughout the entire rendition. C, Sumner Beale, baritone, sang ob- ligato to “Neath the Light of A Star” with a full rich voice of a ro- buse charager that filled the audi- torium, followed by a contralto solo and chorus by Miss Juanita V. Shaw and choir that was possibly the sweet- est tonal work of the evening. Miss Shaw wore a beautiful bouquet of red roses and with a background of all white she pictured a sublime scenery. and her obligato work was no less pleasing as she sang with liquid lega- to tones filled with luscious sweet- ness. Hers is another voice of quali- ty. Miss Shaw and choir rendered “Little Child So Sweetly Sleeping” with wonderful shading effect, tonal power and raré’ interpretation. A fitting climax to the cantata was given in the closing chorus “O Worship Him” that burst forth like a meteor from out of a clear sky; and like the restless rushing waters, overflowing every inlet and brook on its madden- ing dash to the sea.

The ladies’ apparelled in pure «white andthe men in black attire presented a striking picture of contrasts that was pleasing.,to the eye. Dr. King congratulated the choir and pronounced the benediction. YULE-TIDE SONG SERVICE AT METROPOLITAN A.-M, E. CHITRGCH __ The senior choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, J.

AGCEPTS MUSIC. - SIrr 3 | A recent. announeement. that the ‘Congress has. aecepted the $60,000 cash offer made by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, of Pittsfield, Mass. for the erection of a music auditorium in the Library of Congress proves interest- ing, at least to colored: citizens as there is no’ legal reason to presuppose its use as intended for any particular race or group since it will be erected on government preperty- and applies directly to music production. ‘The of- fer by Mrs, Coolidge is specifically to encourage chamber music, although it was explained that the auditorium may be used fer any other” appro- priate purpose. * While plans for the auditorium have not been completed, it was revealed at the committee meeting’ recently that it is intended to build the hall in the court in the northwest” corner of the library. This would not interfere with any of the present uses of the library. The court is an interior one and. is now sown with grass. The top of the au ditorium will be no higher than the first floor of the library; soit wil? not interfere with light or air. a ager) Wee OKs eee XS “iN fe TN Sa ASS - 5 WAS Je a Pe U SAA EP Re ‘hi STRAIT: TRADE-MARK HAS ENJOYED SUCH UNEx- PECTED SUCCESS IN Ti2E PAST YEARTHAT WE HAVE DECIDED TOADD A FEW MOREBEAUTIFYING PREP- ARATIONS TO OUR LIMIT- ED BUT EFFECTIVE LINE The following is our ~~ complete iict Strait-Tex Hair Refining Tonic $1.00, Refines xinky, frase, coane bal: t2 Pebeile inediares medum baie fo peed.

I assure you that the colored people took note of the universal acclaim with which the white citizenry paid tribute to your twenty years of service in our public library. They appreciate with their white fellow citizens the significant growth of the library during your incumbency, its development of branches, its vast increase in volumes, the establishment of library training classes for the training of young white men and women at public expense for service in the library, the enlargement of the personnel and appropriations, and the extensions of library facilities to schools and homes. All of this we hail as evidence of civic progress; but we wish that you could lift the unjust racial discrimination which your incumbency has inflicted upon the colored people who are taxed to support all of our public institutions. You maintain two expensive public institutions from which the colored people are entirely excluded, a library training class with free tuition, and a great library which furnishes profitable professional employment to the graduates of this training class. You have steadfastly refused to admit any colored girl or boy, however cultured and competent, to this splendid opportunity to supplement their schooling with this costing ALL of the people $138,100 per annum, which means that the colored people are deprived of 28 positions and about $40,000 per year. The budget bureau has wisely granted you 123 assistants and $170,940, for the next year which will mean an annual loss of 35 professional positions and nearly $45,000 per to the colored people. You told me frankly in one of my conversations with you that a colored girl could only enter the library service in the capacity of a charwoman. You cannot say that competent colored youths cannot be found, for we can furnish you with a superior type of American adolescents. The colored Normal School is graduating 125 students per year with no hope of more than 35 of them securing positions in our schools, leaving you the pick from 90 superior students who have persisted through 15 years of training in our efficient system. You cannot say that such a just policy is ahead of prevailing practice either, for that greater institution, the Library of Congress, has had colored assistants for 60 years, not only without detriment, but with positive improvement, to the service. In fact, every other branch of our municipal and federal service employees colored clerks, and men and women in other positions. I trust you will,recognize the justice of our claim and not advance the existence of a separate school as an argument for denying us our just share in the library service. NEVAL H. THOMAS COLLEGE WOMEN'S CLUBS SPREADING The National Association of College Women formed under the direction of the College Alumnae Club of Washington, D.C., in April 1923, is spreading throughout the United States. Through the efforts of its president, Miss Lucy D. Slowe, and its sectional directors, Mrs. Lillian Alexander of New York City, Miss Anne E. Crostwaite of St. Louis, Mrs. Robertann Cuthbert of Chicago, and Miss Sadie Daniel of Washington, it is now engaged in a very extensive program of organizing college alumnae clubs in various sections of the country. Up to this time four new local organizations have been perfected. In February 1923, the Chicago branch was formed with Mrs. Robertann ING SE of the Best Can Be Booked AT THE ASIN e floor is smooth Cuthbert as president. Later in May 1924, the college alumnae of Delaware, at the call of Mrs. Helen Crossley, formed a state organization with Mrs. Crossley as president. On October 27, the president of the National Association, Miss Slowe, and the sectional director of the East, Mrs. Alexander, organized a New York branch consisting of twenty-five members. Miss Mabel Byrd of the local New York Y. W. C. A. was chosen temporary president of this organization, and Miss Margaret Smith, temporary secretary. Again on November 22, a club consisting of more than thirty members was formed in Baltimore. Mrs. Vivian Cook is the temporary president; Mrs. Erma Davis, vice-president; Miss Dorothy Davis, secretary. Other clubs will be formed soon; all designed to promote a closer union among college women. KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT John Lincoln, of 111 M Street, Southeast, was killed and four others were injured when an automobile in which they were riding crashed against a bridge between Waldorf and T.B. Maryland, last Sautrday. The five persons had made an early morning trip to to the home of Bank's father-in-law in lower Maryland and were returning home when the accident happened. Just before reaching the bridge, the steering gear locked causing the car to swerve to the side of the road and land against the bridge. The machine, it is said, was operated by Clarence Banks, of 76 L Street, Norhtwest. He suffered bad cuts. The others injured were Arthur Wheeler, his wife, Mrs. Irene Wheeler, and their infant child, Margaret, of 214 Seventh Street, Southeast, Mrs. Wheeler and the child were taken to Providence Hospital. Banks, Wheeler and the body of the dead men were taken to Casualty Hospital. Banks was given first aid and turned over to the police who held him for the Maryland authorities.
