SEEK REPEAL OF JIM CROW BATHING BEACH ITEMS Memorial Services for the Late Col. Charles Young, Dunbar High School, Thursday Night, January 8, 8 P.M., Auspices Jas. Reese Europe Post, No. 5, American Legion First in Local Circulation. Vol. IV, No. 33 SEEK R Distinguish CONG. MADDEN TO FIGHT BEACH ITEMS Notwithstanding his apparent disinclination, it became evident today, as the Congress reconvened that President Coolidge will probably be forced to call an extra session. This Congress dies March 4, next. Legislative Jam The administration's program can hardly be completed before this Congress expires. A legislative jam has developed in the Senate. Since this session began, December 1, the Senate has devoted all its time to the consideration of the Muscle Shoals dispute. When this is disposed of, the Sterling substitute for the postal pay increase measure will blockade the passage of the supply bills. The situation in the House is better. The lower body has confined itself to the appropriation measures, which must be passed during the remaining weeks of this session. When the Senate controversies reach the House, however, confusion is likely to result. Bathing Beach Repeal Sought To add to the legislative difficulties, it is reported that Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, and chairman of the House appropriations committee, will seek the repeal of the item in the second deficiency appropriations bill providing for a separate bathing beach for colored persons in the District of Columbia. This bill has already become law and plans have been made for the construction of the jim-crow beach, but the repeal of the section which provides the sum of $75,000 for its construction and restricts its location to the west side of the Tidal Basin would prohibit the carrying out of these plans. This item is said to have been in the second deficiency appropriations bills upon the representation of Lieut. Colonel G. O. Sherrill, who is in charge of buildings and grounds, to the President that the colored people had signed a petition requesting a segregated bathing, beach. The colored people in the voting states of Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio and New York have protested against the construction of a separate bathing beach for Negroes in the Capital. Colonel Sherrill, it is said, was called upon to produce the signed petition which he said he had. No such petition has been produced, although it is understood that a delegation of colored persons visited Colonel Sherrill and told him that they preferred a separate bathing beach to no bathing beach at all. Representative Madden now proposes to take the floor and tell the Congress that Colonel Sherrill misrepresented the facts and ask for the repeal of the appropriation for the construction of a separate bathing beach for Negroes. Unless Sherrill can produce the signed petition, he will hardly be reappointed at the expiration of his term. He is a North Carolinian and has been seeking to inflict additional segregation since he became the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds. His last contribution to segregation was a jim-crow golf link in Potomac Park.

Mehlinger Is Buried Here The funeral services for James E. Mehlinger, late of Mehlinger, Miss., were held at noon Wednesday, December 31, from Dabney's undertaking parlor, 1132 Third Street, Northwest. The interment was private. James E. Mehlinger, a prominent young planter and merchant, was shot and instantly killed and his father, Fred Mehlinger, who was with him in their store at Mehlinger, Miss., was slightly wounded early Monday night, December 22, when a band of armed men fired a volley of shots through the windows of the store building, according to a statement made to the sheriff at Rosedale, Miss., by the elder Mehlinger. Mr. Mehlinger said that the store was surrounded by a party of unknown men who opened fire on the store without warning, the first volley killing his son instantly. He could advance no motive for the shooting, he stated. James E. Mehlinger was the brother of Louis R. Mehlinger, an assistant attorney in the Department of Justice, of 2809 Eleventh Street, Northwest, and Mrs. Mayme C. White, a teacher in the District public schools, of 1422 Q Street, Northwest. He is also survived by his mother and father, a wife and three children, another sister and three nephews. SISTER SAYS BROTHER KILLED BROTHER (By the Associated Negro Press) Fayetteville, N.

There were 16 persons lynched in 1924. This is the smallest number lynched in any year since records of lynchings have been kept, and is 17 less than the number 23 for the year 1923 and 41 less than the number 57 for the year 1922. Nine of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 6 from jails and 3 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 45 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Two women, 1 white and 1 colored, were among those thus saved. Eight of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern States and 37 in Southern States. In 36 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 9 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 4 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 19 persons thus before the courts only 5 were convicted. These were given fall sentences. Of the 16 persons lynched all were Negroes. Seven or less than half those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder 1; rape 5; attempted rape 2; killing officer of the law 2; insulting woman 3; attacking woman 1; killing man in alteration 1; wounding man 1. The states in which lynchings occurred, and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, 5; Georgia, 2; Illinois, 1; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 1.

Key was tendered a farewell reception by local Mme. C. J. Walker Agents and friends at his residence on New Jersey Avenue, Northwest. With the other Walker contest winners, he will sail from New York City, January 7th, for a trip to the Holy Land. In last week's paper, Rev.

Key will write articles of his travels for the benefit of Tribune readers. The Receivers of the Union Laborers Bank have to date succeeded in listing notes and checks belonging to the Bank in a sum of over Eleven Thousand Dollars; but at present it cannot be determined how much of this paper is worthless. Much of the paper is over two years overdue. On some of the notes no rate of interest is stipulated. On others there is no proper person to whom the note is made payable. In addition there seem to be gross irregularities surrounding certain loans. It is not unlikely that all parties to the notes and the whole matter will be reported to the court with recommendations of criminal investigation. Gastonic, N.C., Jan. 1—(By the Associated Negro Press)—So thoroughly was the broom of the law sweeping up the business of bootleggers in this county, a pre-Christmas convention was called by the liquor ring in West Gastonia. The same secrecy prevailed that might have held forth at a Ku Klux Klan meeting, it being impossible to learn who were the speakers and what definite steps were taken to evade the law, except that a number of names on the preferred lists of the bootleggers were struck off and denied Christmas service because of the fear that they were not sincere with the liquor interests. NOTORIOUS WHITE GUNMAN SHOT THOMAS BRADY, IS CORONER'S JURY VERDICT A coroner's jury to-day found that Thomas Brady, who was employed in a pockroom at 807 North Capitol Street, came to his death at the Casualty Hospital from a gunshot wound caused by the firing of a gun held in the hands of George King, a notorious white police character. King is still at large. Joseph Nally, gunman and stick-up man, who surrendered shortly after the killing, was ordered held for the action of the coronary jury as an accessory. The coroner's jury, however, expressed the belief that George King is responsible for the death of Brady. The murder occurred about 4 o'clock last Sunday afternoon in the pockroom. According to the story told the coroner's jury, George King, Joe Nally and George A Beavers came into the poolroom where Brady and Benjamin F. Horsey, a white employee, were cleaning up. They demanded drinking glasses and were refused. An argument followed between the trio and Joseph Fitzgerald, the bartender in the near beer saloon. Fitzgerald went out to get protection. The trio also left but returned immediately. King is said to have pulled his gun and fired two shots into Brady. Nally grabbed two beer bottles. They met Fitzgerald at the door and Nally is said to have beat him unconscious with the bottles over the head.

The welcome address was delivered by Dr. J. Stainley Durkee, president of Howard University. He said that "I have occasion to speak many words of welcome for those who gather within the influence of the university, but I am frank to say that the welcome today of such a group of forward looking, far-visioned young men is a privilege that challenges any president or executive of a university." John W. Love, Grand Basileus of the fraternity, responded to the welcome address. During his remarks he gave a short historical sketch of the fraternity and told of its organization at Howard University in 1911. A vocal selection was rendered by Miss Herminia Wharton of Baltimore, Md. She was accompanied by her sister, Miss Constantina Wharton. The Rev.

"At present the black man is handicapped, but he must have faith and a knowledge of the past, and a knowledge of the constituent elements that triumph, in order to raise up above his prejudices. I come to lift this shibboleth before you—brain conquers everything." The opening session of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity was held last Saturday at 1 o'clock. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Grant M. Lucas on behalf of Alpha Chapter and Dr. G. H. Marshall Jr., on behalf of Omega chapter. Response was made by the Grand Basileur John W. Love.

PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, silky falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

No record of a license having been issued to them could be found in either the District of Columbia or Maryland. Their friends did not think they would elope to Virginia. Mr. Hayes at first entered a denial. He later became evasive. The program for the Pollyanna Revue had the names of "Mr. and Mrs. George Hayes" listed among the patrons. When asked about this he admitted that he and Miss Adams were married. They cloped to Fairfax Courthouse, Va., on November 15, 1924, and were married by the Rev. Alfred L. Hannsberger. The ceremony was performed in the parsonage of the Methodist Church. The mathers of the bride and bridegroom, Mrs. Katie Adams, and Mrs. Julia Hayes, were the only witnesses. It was a fitting climax to a romance which has extended over a period of years. Mr. Hayes is one of the most prominent members of the local bar. He has offices with Attorney James A. Cobb. He is president of the Washington Bar Association and is also an instructor in the Howard University law school. Miss Adams is a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia. She is very popular in social circles. EX-SLAVE LEAVES $1000 New York, M.Y., Jan. 1—(By the Associated Negro Press)—When the will of Mrs. Julia Washington, 90 years old when she died was filed for probate here during the week, it was discovered that she had left more than $1,000 to friends living in the city. Mrs. Washington was formerly a slave, but had left the South at the end of the Civil war and lived North. the money was left to Lee Clayton and his wife and Mr. Clayton's son and wife, who lived at 1737 Van Buren Avenue. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925 Photo by Webster NOCTER 64 Hold Memorial Services For Mme. C. J. Walker It is significant that Christmas week the season commemorating the birth of the Christ, in which we pay homage to our friends and express good will toward our fellowmen, also the natal week of the one who was born poor, of lowly parentage, but who early in life caught the full meaning of Christ's teachings, lived a life of faith, hope and charity like unto the Christ and like Him, rose in a life time to be revered and respected for the good she had done and finally, like Him, gave her all that her people might go onward and upward to a better mode of living. December 23rd is the birthday of the late Madam C. J. Walker and as such was very widely celebrated, both by her many thousand agents throughout this and many foreign countries and by her friends and acquaintances who admired her work and the good she accomplished. To commemorate the 56th birthday of this patron saint of our race, memorial services were held in many cities. Indianapolis, where she rose from obscurity to wealth and power, leading the list. At the Y. M. C. A., to which she gave the first thousand dollars toward its present building, incidentally the first and largest gift of its kind at that time, services were held and a magnificent enlarged portrait of Madam C. J. Walker was unveiled and presented to the Association before a large audience present to revere her memory. Mrs. Frances Berry Coston, prominent club woman, teacher and scholar and close personal friend of Madam Walker, enveloped her memory and paid glowing tributes to her life. In her address Mrs. Coston said, among other things, Madam Walker was endowed with initiative, sympathy, ambition, understanding, and that rarest of all gifts, uncommon common sense. These coupled with a willingness for her life to be spent in the services of the race made her a marvel. Yes, more, her career was a timely proclamation to Anglo Saxon civilization, declaring that the way cannot be obstructed; it was a message to the world that the Negro can reach America's highest standard; it was a distinct challenge to the closed door of opportunity. Summarizing the life of the late Madam C. J. Walker, the following six points were given by Mrs. Coston: She was silent in the face of criticism; she raised no quarrels with her enemy; she had faith in herself and trusted divine guidance; she had confidence in her people; she never forgot her friends; she believed that charity was the greatest thing in the world. The Y. W. C. A. held special vesper services and many friends and employees of the Madam C. J. Walker quipped to gi and 10th and R. I. Ave., N.W. 7th and T Sts., N.W. Photo by Mfg. Co., attended to do honor to their departed leader. Throughout the Nation, December 23rd was celebrated by Madam C. J. Walker agents. Clubs and individuals doing as she did at Christmas time, giving baskets filled with food and clothing, to poor and needy families; fruits, candies, nuts and toys to orphan children; coal and wood for homes that need them and in other ways playing the Good Samaritan and bringing a ray of sunshine at Christmas time that the poor may be made happy, and the sick may be comforted, and the orphaned made to feel that some one cares. A. H. Grimke Retires As Head of Local N. A. A. C. P. At its annual meeting to be held Friday evening January 16, 1925, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., will elect a new president as the successor of Archibald H. Grimke, who since 1913, has continuously been president of the branch. There is among the membership considerable interest as to who will be Mr. Grimke's successor. There would be no question of Mr. Grimke's re-election, but for the fact that he positively declines to accept another election. He is now in his seventy-sixth year, and says that he intends to relinquish all active participation in reform movements, and public affairs. For the past five years he has demurred to being re-elected, but has consented to continue in office only at the earnest solicitation of those who have at heart the fundamental things, which the Mr. A. A. C. P., was called into existence to carry forward: namely, the securing for the Negro the equal protection of the law, due process of law, equal opportunity in industry, government and education, and a civilized life free from distinction, discrimination, segregation or caste, whether sanctioned by harsh legislative enactments, or brutal social practices. Mr. Grinke's endowment and equipment, mental and moral, and his freedom from the lust for office, made him the ideal man for a service such as he has rendered through a nonpartisan reforming organization such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. For it must be kept in mind that the N. A. A. C. P., is not a partisan organization, and it concerns about the fortunes or misfortunes of political parties, except as it believes it sees opportunity to use them to further the emancipation of the Negro race. While its membership is drawn from all political parties, the Association itself belongs to none, nor does it advise affiliation with any. The branch formally and suitably observed Mr. Grimke's anniversary. RED & WHITE NORTH 64 TAXI Webster NO. 64 New Science Hall For Lincoln University (By the Associated Negro Press) Oxford, Pa., Jan. 1—The full amount needed for the new science hall at Lincoln University—$82,500—has now been secured. Architect's plans are being rapidly prepared and work will be begun as soon as the weather permits in the spring. The building will be made of red brick with limestone trimmings. Of the $82,500 which has been raised for this building, the General Education Board, New York, has appropriated $30,000; Alumni of the University from Massachusetts to California and from South Africa, British Guiana, and the West Indies have contributed $12,000; Pierre S. DuPont of Longwood has given $7,500 to cover architect's fees, engineering supervision, accounting, and so forth; the Presbyterian Board of Christian Education has given $5,000; and the remaining $2800 came from generous friends of the University in nearly every state of the Union. Members of the Board of Trustees and of the Faculty have been liberal contributors and a considerable sum has been given by students. LARGE DEMAND FOR WORKERS IN PITTSBURGH DISTRICT (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa. Jan. 1—According to recent reports in connection with proposed industrial activities in the Pittsburgh district there has been a growing demand for common laborers in mills and mines for several weeks, and with the beginning of the year the outlook is for an increased demand for men. Men are being transported from the West Virginia mining districts into the Pennsylvania districts to produce more coal needed by the steel mills, most of which are running at 75 per cent capacity. It is expected that many of the mills will go on full time capacity in the next few weeks. Many coke ovens will be lighted and numerous blast furnaces are to be blown in early in January. It is expected that industries in this section will reach "war time" capacity by the middle of March. 106 YEARS OLD; SUES FOR DIVORCE Raleigh, N.C., Jan. 1—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Charging that she had deserted him for five years, William Smith, appeared before the Wake County Superior Court this week and filed suit for divorce from his wife, Mrs. Lou Hinton Smith.

The more conservative, those who desire to cling to the more lasting, are in a dilemma. They are afraid to have their locks severed, lest, in some future day, long hair will be worn or the bobbed effect be here to stay. In commenting on the bobbed-hair fad and its art, Signor Pietro Raspanti, who claims credit as a high priest of bobdom, has this to say: "Never, never will women wear their hair long again. That is only a dream of the hair dressers. Women will have nothing more to do with rats and transformations. I know it whenever a woman comes in, happy and laughing, to get her hair cut. "There was a time when I had to have smelling salts on my table here, so many women felt faint when they saw their hair was gone . . . Nowadays they only rejoice in the freedom of bobbed hair."

Pledgee Game Siki Knocked Out by Jim Crow Siki Knocked Out by Jim Crow (By the Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 1—Not being able to understand the peculiar ways of southern prejudice, "Battling" Siki, the French colored fighter who was formerly light heavyweight champion of the world, entered a white restaurant here and asked for food. The owner of the place sought to inform him that he was in a place that fed only superior white and poor whites when they got hungry. Siki didn't understand and insisted that he was hungry. When the owner found out that he would be unable to get the Frechman to leave, he called the police. They evicted the he was fined $50 for trying to get something to eat where the white folk go when they're hungry. GAVE THEM A CHANCE Dr. Dana Evans, the late director of athletics at Northwestern University, was a friend of the Negro athlete. Four coaches of our colleges were well acquainted with Dr. Evans and have only the highest regard for him. The four men are Sam Taylor of Virginia Normal; Rufus Clements of Livingstone; Fred Long of Wiley, and Dean Mohr of Wilberforce. Dr. Evans employed two colored assistant coaches, Dr. Roy Young who coached the line the year that Northwestern had such stars as Driscoll, Brightmire, Elling Wood, and Fritz Pollard. TEN LEADING FOOTBALL COACHES By Dean Mohr (Director of Athletics at Wilberforce) Ten leading Negro football coaches are: U. S. Young at Lincoln; Cleve Abbott at Tuskegee; H. L. Long at Paul Quinn; Fred Long at Wiley Col- lege; L. H. Hamblin at West Virginia; Gideon Smith at Hampton; B. H. Harvey at Morehouse; Harry Martin at Shaw; Louis Watson at How- ard; and Tiken at Atlanta. All of these men have been coaching more than two years. We have many other young athletes who are making records for schools, namely: Taylor at Virginia Normal; Harvey at Virginia Union and Graves at Wil- berforce.

Basketball Official Rule 5. Sec. 3. After a substitute has been recognized by the referee he MUST participate in the game. Rule 6. Sec. 13. If the TIMEKEEPER'S signal fails to sound, or is not heard, the TIMEKEEPERS SHALL go upon the court immediately to notify the referee. If a goal has been made in the meantime, the Referee shall consult the timers, and if both agree that time was up before the ball was in the air, the goal, if made, does not count. If they disagree the goal shall count unless the referee has knowledge which would alter the ruling. Rule 7. (New Ruling)—If a foul is committed by a player while HE OR A MEMBER OF HIS TEAM is trying for goal from the field, the ball is DEAD at the time the foul is committed and the goal, if made, does not count; except that if the foul occurs after the ball has left the player's hands, the goal, if made, shall count. Rule 7. Sec. 9. (Important Change) A player who receives the ball while standing still may PIVOT, i.e., may take one or more steps with one foot in any direction providing the other foot is kept at its point of contact with the floor. After the pivot, in order to pass or throw the ball, he may lift the pivot foot from the floor but the ball must leave his hands BEFORE that foot is returned to the floor. Rule 7. Sec. 11—GUARDING FROM THE REAR. The mere fact that a defensive player is attempting to play the BALL from the REAR DOES NOT justify him in placing one or both arms about an opponent; or in throwing his arm over an opponent's shoulder. IF PERSONAL CONTACT results it is a FOUL and MUST BE SO RULED. (Officials are requested to pay special attention to this style of play). Rule 9. Sec. 3. A one-minute intermission is allowed before EACH extra period of an overtime game. Rule 13. Sec. 4—A TEN SECOND limit for a free throw applies to each free toss. Rule 15. (New Ruling; Decided Change from Last Year) TAPPING a ball "on its way up" is now a foul . . . for delaying the game. CATCHING the ball BEFORE it has been tapped is also a FOUL for delaying the game. Sec. 11. TWO FREE throws are awarded when a foul is committed upon a player immediately AFTER he has thrown for goal. ST. PAUL RELEASES FIRST 1925 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE October 31—Va.

HARRY Who has been waiting for a crack at J HARRY WILLS Who has been waiting for a crack at Jack Dempsey for more than five years A Pollyanna Revue Big Hit at Lincoln Theatre The Pollyanna Club presented the Pollyanna Revue—a musical deluge in two acts—at the Lincoln Theatre, Christmas night, for the benefit of the Young Women's Christian Association. It was the society event of the Yuletide. On the list of patrons were the names of the social elite. The smarter set and social climbers filled the theatre to capacity. The club members, Mrs. Sevillon Savoy, Miss Jessie Parks, Mrs. Wm. H. Wilson, Mrs. Hartford Burwell, Mrs. Arthur L. Curtis, Mrs. S. Fisher Clarke, Mrs. Charles Flagg, Mrs Amphius Glenn, Mrs. Theophilus J. Houston, Mrs. B. Price Hurst, Miss Mamie Lewis, Mrs. Mriam W. Lewis, Mrs. Joseph Murray, Mrs. Arthur B. McKinney, Miss Adella Parks and Mrs. Emory Smith, were a part of the cast. Minus the mule which teamed with him in other days, S. H. Dudley returned to the stage for this benefit performance. He told a number of jokes and sang two of his own compositions. He showed that time had robbed him of none of his elverness as a black-faced comedian.

She was a bit shy but her dancing won for them an encore. Bobby Syphax also sang "Sallie Lou" with the chorus. Beatrice Boyd led the chorus in singing "Whenever You're Lonesome." She was an instant hit. In fact, the entire chorus was very pleasing. They could sing and dance and had had previous stage experience. The girls were Grace Marshall, Bessie Russell, Beatrice Boyd, Helen Combs, Rustina Banks, Hazel Jones and Isabelle Webster. Notwithstanding her avoidupois, the dancing of Miss Jones stood out. The boys were Bobby Syphax, John West, Raymond Glascoe, Mark Terrell, Theodore Gandy, Sam Dyer and Theodore Blackman. Dorothy Craft did a Hawaiian dance while Catherine Grey, Lillian Smith, Harriet Ferguson, Louise Jefferson, Annette Hawkins and Hortense Muns played ukuleles. Miss Marie Mahord, of Flushing, LL appeared in interpretative dances. She was most pleasing however, when she did a medley of modern dances incuding the "Charleston." She was easily one of the features of the revue. A one-act skit, "The Woman Always Pays," was played by Alston Burleigh, Thelma Watson and Albert Knorl. It was done in normal, slow and fast time. Miss Watson showed Mrs. Sevellon Savoy, Barrington Guy, Vernon Porter and Mrs. Hartford Burwell appeared in feature songs. Mr. Guy suffered from hoarse-ses and had to mimic his part while Mr. Porter sang from behind stage. In stages of love, Mrs. S. Fisher Clarke and Samuel Poper played the parts of school girl and boy; Miss Jessie Parks and Charles E. Lane, the woman and man bent with years, and Mrs. Arthur Curtis and Mrs. Theophilus J. Houston did a burlesque skit. Another feature of the revue was Bessie De Saussaure in three dance numbers. The first was a Russian dance. Then during the cabaret scene, she and Barrington Guy did a Spanish dance. It was stopped by Leonard Hill, who did an Apache dance with her. Leonard Hill was very good in his interpretation of an Apache. Mrs. De Saussaure has had I Can Give You I Can Give You Unexcelled Service M.

The third feature of the revue was little Miss Margaret Brown and Miss Constantia L. Wharton of Baltimore. Miss Brown, just about eight years of age, captivated the audience with her songs and dances. She was accompanied by Miss Wharton, who also sang the chorus of one number with her. She got more encores than any person appearing in the revue. The revue was staged by Carrol N.

The curfew of Time tolls the knell of another parting year. Looking backward the record is filled with days of tremendous achievements, which serve to mark a new era in development, and give permanent inspiration for a much larger program in 1925. Colored America is finding himself, the sleeper wakes! The next decade may not usher in the millennium, but everywhere there are new visions of opportunity and progress, and to these new days is to be added here in America, a measure of good will that even the optimist of five years ago would have hesitated to prophesy. Organizations Colored America is better organized than ever before. Interlocking, group leadership is proving effective, and it is a well-known fact that the time is here when Colored America can send an effective message from one end of the nation to the other in twenty-four hours through various organized bodies. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People remains the most potent civic organization. The Association, intelligently officered has sought more than ever to reflect the will and aspirations of the people, and plead their cause before the bar of public opinion. There has been some bold criticism concerning the political activities of association officers, but these officers maintain that as individuals they have the right to exercise personal preferences, and that the organization, as such, is never used for political party preferences. Thoughtful leadership through the country have agreed that the Association has a well defined purpose to serve in behalf of the people, and that it is to the distinct advantage of the general public to continue loyal support. The National Negro Business League held its twenty-fifth anniversary or Silver Jubilee in Chicago, in August. This was not only the largest attended session but the most constructive. Final reports were heard from the committees organizing the National Finance Corporation, a $1,000,000 institution for relief of racial business enterprises in times of distress, and the encouragement of commercial growth. This financial organization recently held a very successful session in Durham, N.C., where the home offices are located, and the results of this session will be seen in the coming events of 1925. The National Urban League, in another sense, acts as a liaison between the two racial groups largely in industrial and welfare matters. This organization because of the nature of its work is confined for the most part to activities in large centers of population. It serves these centers well in adjustments, better understanding and opening new opportunities. The contacts in these respects have proved invaluable. The Negro Sanhedrin, Dr. Kelly Miller, president, held a session in Chicago in February. This meeting was the result of numerous conferences by the executives of a number of national organizations and other leaders. It was well attended and representative of the present day viewpoint of the majority in Colored America. The report to the country forms a basis of action, if carried out, that will put the group in a fair light before the world, and will open up new fiends of opportunity and cooperative efforts that will be of lasting advantage. After action of the Sanhedrin has not been as aggressive as many had hoped, but Dean Miller has very recently informed the Associated Negro Press that activities are well in the making. Mutual understanding and unity of action will give power to the growth of any people. Colored America is ready for a large degree of both. There are many other organizations, including the National Association of Colored Women's clubs, the National Medical Association, the National Recreational society, that are EVERY TIME IT GETS CLOUDY MY LIMBS PAIN ME TERRIBLY— I KNOW IT'S NOT OLD AGE; Cause A MAN SHOULDN'T FEEL HIS AGE TILL HE'S FIFTI OR MORE.

They are not mere paper bodies seeking occasional publicity, but they are well organized, functioning bodies giving vital assistance to a people's development. Good Will Observation Tour In the spring, a Good Will observation tour, in a special Pullman, began in New York, going to Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Raleigh, Durham, Columbia, Savannah, Atlanta, Tuskegee, Montgomery, Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Chicago. This tour not only afforded the participants a fine opportunity to study the racial progress of the South but it afforded the South a fine opportunity to better understand the sympathetic interest of the North. Every courtesy was extended throughout the tour, and the cordiality of the white South, both in personal contact and press comments occasioned much gratification. The Field of Sport The general public has been more or less unmindful of the widespread interest of Colored America in the field of sport. Much of this interest has been brought about within the group. Racial newspapers make features of sporting pages, but the daily press has not yet measured up in the proper recognition, except in prize fights. The Wills-Firpo fight, for example had wide newspaper publicity, but the National Negro Baseball THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925 Someone has informed us that the impression has been gotten that we do not do small printing jobs---that we only handle large book work. While we are equipped to handle large book work of every kind, we are also equipped to handle JOB WORK of any kind---Small as well as Large---and our prices are as low as can be had in shops equipped to do only small work. World series, which brought together thousands of people from all over the country, was practically ignored in the daily press. Rube Foster, great baseball figure, states that more than $1,500,000 has bene spent in admissions during the last four years of organized racial baseball. Each year more people attend the Howard-Lincoln football classic, either in Washington or Philadelphia, going to the game from all sections of the United States. A number fo successful automobile races have been given this year under Colored managements. In the field of sport Colored America can furnish plenty of entertainment and plenty of class wherever the opportunity is given, and the Negro is taking advantage of prejudice in managing his own activities. In some cases Jewish and Italian promoters have "caught hte big idea." Erection of Buildings The year 1924 is outstanding for the construction of new buildings by racial capital, and by co-operative capital for the advantage of Colored American progress. These buildings range all the way from one story stores, to twelve story-sky scrapers. The last, the magnificent Knights of Pythias' building now in course of erection in Chicago at a cost of more than $1,250,000 to the National Headquarters of the Knights of Pythias, is the most pretentious commercial structure ever undertaken by the PAPA!

The architect, contractors and laborers are Colored. The Elks in New York, the Elks and Masons in Birmingham, the Woodmen of Union and Knight of Pythias in Hot Springs, the Masons and Royal Circle, in Chicago, have recently completed, or have under construction other large structures. Many universities and colleges have erected new buildings; there has been, seemingly, no end to the erection of religious edifices. In the matter of new church structures, New York leads with the Abyssinian Baptist, St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal and Mother Zion A. M. E., the combined cost of the three structures reaching a figure in advance of $1,200,000. There has been a decided increase in the construction of individual homes, and apartments in cities. Political Development Colored America has had an unusual year of political activity. In a national way, all of the big parties, including the Democratic, sought to get the vote of racial citizens. The manner in which these votes were sought discloses a new day politically, for the race. President Calvin Coolidge has been unusually active in trying to prove that he is president of all the people. He has counseled with Colored leaders from all sections of the country, and his attitude of fairness has been reflected in the public expressions he has made from 7th and T Sts., N.W.

The nomination of a Republican member for Congress in New York, who was not elected, and the election of a Municipal Judge, a member of the state Senate and four members of the House of Representatives in the legislature of Illinois, are outstanding achievements. Ohio, New York, West Virginia, and Massachusetts are other states electing members of the legislature. William C. Matthews, and his associates, who directed the recent Republican campaign, have prepared a group of seventeen requests to work out for racial advancement during the coming administration of President Coolidge. These subjects of request have created nationwide comment, the most of which which has been favorable and optimistic. Some have claimed that they are too pretentious but the general opinion seems to be in line with Emerson's urge to "Hitch your wagon to a star." Larger political participation everywhere is the prospect for Colored America. Racial Publicity In private comment, a white business man wrote to a member of the group in his employ: "What the Negro needs most is a great salesman, one PAGE FIVE EVERY PLACE IN US, DAD-BLAMED HOUSE IS TOO GOOD FOR ME!!- I SUP- POSE YOU WANT ME TO BUNK OUT IN THE DOG HOUSE WITH- FIDO, SO YOU CAN MONOPOLIZE THE ENTIRE HOUSE WITH YOUR ROYAL QUEST!!!

Within the race, there seems to be a finer understanding today of the achievements of the race than ever before. There is yet much to be done. The results are being disclosed in the extensive publicity engaged in by leading business firms, the high tone of their advertising matter, and the wise realization that money expended for publicity is an investment and not a charity.

The United States must plead guilty to that indictment." To pick up a newspaper on Monday morning and note the numerous and varied crimes committed in the District of Columbia is to feel that Judge Talley had Washington in mind when he made the foregoing statement. Hardly any section of the city is without crimes. There are however, some sections which are hotbeds. In these you can get "anything from death on down, or lose anything from a penny to a soul." In view of this it is pertinent to ask whether we are doing our whole duty in co-operating with administrators or in administering criminal affairs. The blame must be placed somewhere. Shall we blame the miscreant or shall we blame society for producing the miscreant? It is our method in general to punish the offender, yet we find that this does not produce the desired effect. We put the miscreant in prison and he usually comes out as much a criminal or more than he was before he was put in prison. What is to be done? It is incumbent upon society. Society must deepen and broaden its conscience towards criminals, in recognizing that criminals are such as ourselves, plus opportunity, and that there can be no radical remedy for the disease which is not a remedy of the conditions of the society in the midst of which we, as well as the criminal, live. We set up laboratories, institutions, spend millions yearly to learn how to handle germs; it is just as essential that we exercise as much energy in learning to handle the criminal menaces of life. Know thyself, know men, is the solution in every case. To know men better is to increase our knowledge of the criminal situation. Something of Interest By I. L.

Thomas and Wm. Litter Held as Examiner For College Men Senator Swanson Rejoices over Results of 1924 If we are to judge by the rejoicing of Senator Claude A. Swanson, chairman of the speakers' bureau of the Democratic National Committee, Old Santa Claus left a Congress and a Presidency in the Democratic Christmas stocking. The noted Senator from Virginia, in analyzing the 1924 election returns, finds, with pleasure, that, although 136 of the 531 electoral votes were given to Davis, there were thirteen states, with ninety-nine electoral votes, in which the Davis LaFollette vote exceeded the Coolidge total. Although LaFollette ran ahead of Davis in six of these it was caused by the "indicated antagonism to the existing Republican administration." However, to these may be added states with thirty-five electoral votes in which the Davis-LaFollette combined total fell only from two to six per cent short of the Coolidge totals. (I. L.

Neval Thomas and Trotter Held For Colle the Senator has not yet learned whether the Madison Square convention nominated LaFollette or Davis. It is quite evident that the two opposition parties, by co-operating in rivalry, attracted more votes than they should have attracted by operation in fusion. Only the mellow Yuletide period could suffuse a Democratic politician's heart with such speculations. Mr. Swanson believes that the third party's failure will unify the opposition elements. The Debses, Bergers and their Socialist followers, we suppose, will be swallowed by the Democracy. Mr. Swanson also finds, that the Democrats have a large membership in both Houses. Before the November election it had a large membership in both Houses, but LaFollette made a number of them into a tail for the third Party kite at the expense of the Democratic party. Perhaps it is good-perhaps (?)-that the Democrats have a spokesman in Congress who has learned to eschew such inane strategy. Neval Thomas and Wm. Monroe Trotter Held as Examples For College Men By Kelly Miller Those of us who have kept close watch of the output of our schools and colleges for the past twenty years are often forced to ask ourselves the question: Is the young Negro collegian fulfilling the hopes and expectations entertained for him in the earlier years? The first output of the college naturally enough, was baptized with the spirit of racial service and zeal. The good missionaries who came down from the North brought the Bible in their left hand, the secular text book in the left. One can only impart that which he has. Their souls were full to overflowing of love for God and service to man. The zeal of the missionary was upon them. They believed in the Negro and he in them. Grimke, Crogman, Simons, George W. Moore, Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson are sample fruits of their labors. But in these later days a new element, if not a new spirit has crept --- PAGE SIX (I. L.

Monroe as Examples lege Men into our education. The mercenary motive has all but supplanted missionary zeal as the aim and objective of the higher education of the Negro. We may naturally expect this spirit to be reflected in the new college issue. Educational equipment and facilities have greatly increased since the earlier day. The work of the college has been multiplied in efficiency. We laugh today at the faculty and facilities of thirty years ago. And yet the truism is as true today as when it first fell from the mouth of Paul: "The letter killeth, the spirit maketh alive." The educator of Negro youth years for the return of that social spirit which actuated the youth a generation age. Then every student was preparing to reclaim and uplife his race; now the burden of his ambition to to achieve a distinguish career. Then the objective of his ambition was social, now it is essentially selfish. I do not enter into wholesale condemnation of the younger --- college men. They are just as worthy and of just as noble nature as their elder brothers who have gone before them. But the times have changed. The whole end and aim of college culture is being transformed by the allurements of the times. The most helpful indication of the younger college men is seen in the organization of fraternities and sororities. They are anxious to harness their energies to some noble social cause. The Negro Sanhedrin engages to show them the more excellent way. committees of Congress in this behalf. He insisted in and out of season that the colored schools should share alike with the whites in school appropriations, appliances and facilities. His insistence often proved embarrassing to his more modern and restrained colored superiors. But he insisted all the more. The reformer must always take liberties with the established proprieties. Single handed and alone, Neval Thomas compelled the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to remove restrictions In my mind two college men stand out most conspicuously for vicarious devotion to the welfare of the race. One represents the older generation from the Northern college, and the other the younger breed of the Negro college. William Monroe Troffer is the pioneer Negro collegian who threw himself and all there was in him into the scale of race service and devotion. He has lost all and gained nothing by the way of personal recompense. Others have become thrifty on comfortable incomes by reason of racial advocacy and zeal. Frederick Douglass was made all that he was or could have hoped to be by espousing the cause of the freedom of his race. Troffer, alone among Negro collegians of his day, had a choice of ways, but like Moses, the Hebrew collegian in the days of Pharoah preferred to east in his lot with his afflicted race rather than enjoy the ways of prosperity for a season. I cannot espouse many of Mr. Troffer's polices and methods. I find myself at vital variance with him in most of his modes of procedure. But I know it was none other than he who held aloft the light of racial rights when all besides were wavering. He is shot through with a zeal that will not let him go. He will die in the faith which he espoused in his youth. It would be a fitting tribute if the college men throughout the country would undertake a race wide testimonial to Wm. Trotter for his thirty years' sacrificial devotion to his race without money and without price. But the main purpose of this article is to set forth the altruistic service and devotion of a younger college man who is in closer touch with the present college generation. Neval H. Thomas was graduated from Howard University in 1901. His spirit and metal showed themselves in his college days. He was always ardently devoted to reform. Immediately upon graduation he entered upon teaching in the Washington High School where he has been engaged ever since. But no pent up Utica contracts his powers. He completed a course in law, not so much with the expectation of practicing that lucrative profession, but in order that he might all the more intelligently serve the cause to which he had consecrated his chief energies. Nor was his light long hid under a bushel. Only a few years after graduation, do we find him advocating equal and exact justice for the colored race in the organic act reorganizing the public schools of the District of Columbia. He was the only colored teacher of the entire corps that had the temerity to appear before the Efficient Mu Efficient Music Teaching Efficient Music Teaching That's our Rule.

The common people will always hear gladly any one who speaks from the heart. As in the water face answer to face, so the heart of man to the heart of man. Mr. Thomas is the idol of the masses. He speaks their language better than they can speak for themselves. But they know a true note when they hear it. They cannot be fooled by a hollow or artificial voice however learned or appealing it may appear. Audiences all over the country hang spellbound on his words. Thomas Wentworth Higginson used to say: "If you want to become an orator, join a reform." Mr. Thomas has the oratory of the reformer. He has no new doctrine to proclaim, but repeats the philosophy of Charles Sumner: "Equality of rights with the "i" dotted and the "t" crossed." Like William Lloyd Garrison, he will not equivocate nor recede one inch. He has the courage of his cause and cares nothing of the effects upon his personal Music Teaching Work!

Among the several resolutions we read this: "The Camp Fire Girls are also advised to learn to play some musical instrument. This is valuable not only because it decorates one's interior with beauty, but because it wards off foolishness." The statement admonishes girls in several other things and then closes with this thought: "And then there is a dignity about being useful before which the world takes off its hat." This goes to show our particular group the general interest the other race group is maniwise) uplift of their girls, which is so sadly lacking, as a whole, among our race in girls particularly. Now here's another press item gleamed the other day: "Over the radio, the other night, came the voice of the announcer: 'The Long Island Railroad Company Trio will now play one of Brahm's Hungarian dances.' They played it exceedingly well. They followed it with Les Patineus, a delightful waltz by Waldteufel. It was a very enjoyable concert and each of the players was good. The announcer afterward explained that the violinist works in the freight office and the celist on the company's pier. That's about the white young men.

As in the case of Mr. Trotter, I do not follow Mr. Thomas in all of his moods and methods, but he commands an unlimited measure of my respect and admiration. Many men of many minds. We do not desire that all college men should be like Neval H. Thomas in all of the idiosyncrasies and peculiarities of his mind. But if all possessed the full measure of his sacrifice and devotion our cause would be well on the way of solution. Fifty well-trained, well-poised, consecrated college men turned out yearly from our colleges, well distributed among the callings of professions throughout the mass of the race would put a new edge on the problem in the next half generation. But as things are now trending in the direction of narrow efficiency and selfishness the immediate outlook from the college group hills us with a mixed feeling of hopes and fears. I would place Neval H. Thomas on a pedestal and invite young college men and women to look upon his like, and imitate his courage, his consecration and his zeal for his race.

They would rather go to a baseball or football game than to an instructive lecture, to a dance than to an elevating recital. They would rather waste every evening at a theatre or a movie show that study a language, investigate a scientific fact or study the movements of the planets. The result is that, in their old age—yes, and many premature aged by fast living—they are just about as ignorant as they were when they started out in life, working or idling. And when the time comes to quit work, settle down or retire, they have no wider field of interest in life than the sporting page of their newspaper, the gossip of their neighbors and the thousand and one useless and trashy activities that make up the life of the majority of people to-day. Here lies a splendid field for those who direct the destinies of young lives. They have thousands of human beings within their reach. They have the means of communication. They can easily find ways of encouraging their fellowmen to turn their minds to things worth while. To one who is interested in the development of civilization, and especially their own race group, the spectacle of three railroad young men playing a classical dance over the radio after their day's work is done; and the inspiring New Year resolutions of 160,000 Camp Fire girls, white to be sure, is far more hopeful and inspiring than the spectacle of young folks spending their evenings in playing some little game of cards or cramps, dancing all night or watching some horse race.

Even in the swamps and in the wildest tangles are to be found delicate and fragrant flowers. Preceding the discussion of each wild flower there is a complete synopsis consisting of a description of the flower, its color, and shape, its leaves, its fruit, the preferred habitat, the flowering season and the distribution, and every phase of the flower's life.
