RECEIVERS SEEK TO HOLD TRUSTEES LIABLE FOR DEBTS OF DEFUNCT UNION LABORERS BANK First in Local Circulation. RECEIVER DR. J. HAYDEN JOHNSON AGAIN NAMED ON BOARD Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, of 1842 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, has been reappointment as a member of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia. His present three-year term expires June 30. The reappointment of Dr. Johnson will leave the colored membership on the board the same as it has been during the past year. The colored members are Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett. Although three terms are expiring on June 30, there will be only one change in the personnel of the board, Captain Julius I. Peyser, "liberal" member, was not a candidate for reappointment. The judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia appointed Dr. Henry Barrett Learned, who has already served on the board, to succeed him. Mrs. Marie W. Hodgins, like Dr. Johnson, was reappointed to serve antoher term. Both Mrs. Hodgins and Dr. Johnson are allied with the so-called conservative faction of the board and have been strong administration supporters. The new board will hold its organization meeting on July 1. Murray Casino To Be Remodeled Plans are being made by Murray Brothers, owners of the Murray Casino on U Street, near 9th, to make extensive improvements before the re-opening of the hall in the fall. The dancing floor space is to be enlarged and so arranged with elevated seating balconies as to give the appearance of a perfect circular dancing floor. This feature is original, and when completed the hall will be the first one in the country so arranged. New lighting effects will be installed, together with painting and decorating throughout. When the doors are opened in the fall the management claims that the Murray Casino will not only be the most beautiful hall in this city but one of the most attractive in the country. Many dates are now being booked by the popular clubs, and the management announces no increase in rental for the coming season. Judge George Entertained by Local Lawyers The Washington Bar Association entertained at an informal smoker at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R Street, Northwest, last Thursday evening, in honor of Judge Albert B.

He told of the united support he received from the colored electorate of Chicago and of the twelve Republican candidates for the municipal bench co-operating toward the election of their ticket without regard to race or color. He also paid high tribute to the political leadership of Edward H. Wright. George E. C. Hayes, president of the Washington Bar Association, presided.

Two Women File Suit For Limited Divorce Two suits for limited divorces on the grounds of cruelty and desertion have been filed this week by wives in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. One of these suits is brought by Mrs. Maude F. Snipes, of 134 U Street, Northwest, through Attorney Charles S. Hill, against her husband, Alexander Snipes. The other is brought by Mrs. Rosa Hill, of 1748 S Street, Northwest, through Attorney John H. Wilson, against her husband, Fred E. Hill, of 73 G Street, Southwest. Mrs. Snipes alleges in her bill of complaint that she and her husband lived happily together until about a year ago when he became cruel and abusive toward her. She says that he recently acquired the habit of drinking and that on two occasions in April, 1925, while in a drunken condition, he beat and bruised her with a chair. She also charges that on May 30, 1925, he beat and abused her and then deserted her. She says he has not contributed anything toward her support since. On June 19, last, she says, he returned to 134 U Street, Northwest, where she resides, and struck her in the street and tore her clothing from her body. She also claims that he has removed several household articles from her home and out of sheer spite has taken a chain of pearls and refuses to return any of these articles. Mrs. Snipes asks the court for a limited divorce and temporary alimony. She also asks the court to restrain her husband from molesting or interfering with her and to require him to return the household articles and other personal effects he has removed. Mr. and Mrs. Snipes were married January 17, 1924, in Raleigh, N.C. They have no children. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Rosa Hill says that she and her husband lived together until August 29, 1924, when she was forced to leave their residence at 73 G Street, Southwest, and seek safety, fearing that her husband would do her serious bodily harm. On one occasion in August, 1924, she alleges, her husband assaulted her. Prior to this assault, she claims he had been convicted in the police court of the District of Columbia for an assault upon her, but she had forgiven him upon his promise not re- Sails to Europe for Study of Youth Movement (By R.

Big Crowds Enjoy Picnics at Gardens The first Sunday School picnic of the season was held at beautiful Suburban Gardens last Saturday. Judging from the attendance and fun had by the 1100 or more children and parents, it was more than a success. The Sunday Schools visiting the gardens last Saturday were Vermont Avenue Baptist Church and Campbell A. M. E. Church, Anacostia. These two picnics officially opened the children's picnic grove and playground, which are considered the best in this section. The Children's Grove is located just to the right of the entrance after entering the gardens. It is especially equipped with swings, chain swings, chute, sand pile, tables and benches and water, to make it complete in every respect. Children and Sunday School teachers alike were unanimous in their verdict that they had had the biggest time of their lives. Miss E. E. Newman, chairman of the social committee of Vermont Avenue Sunday School said: "We have no complaint to offer regarding the service at the Gardens. Everyone enjoyed themselves, even the teachers, although they had to look after the children." This Saturday, June 27th, there will be five church picnics at the Gardens. With good weather, the largest crowd of the season is expected. The church giving picnics Saturday are: Metropolitan A. M. E.; Ebenezer A. M. E.; St. Paul A. M. E.; Campbell A. M. E.; and Mt. Moriah Baptist. She alleges that her husband abandoned and deserted her and their minor children, and has refused to maintain and support them, although he is fully able to do so. She asks the court for a limited divorce and alimony. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were married in the District of Columbia on November 7, 1910, by the Rev. William J. Howard. They have two children, Richard B. Hill, 10 years, and Helen I. Hill, 16 years. BELIEVES GOV'T HAS RIGHT TO MAKE PROBE A sweeping Congressional investigation into the affairs of Howard University is threatening. Reports reaching Washington are to the effect that the Rev. George Frazier Miller, newly elected president of the General Alumni Association, is preparing the complaint which will form the basis for the congressional inquiry. Strong political backing is assured. Influential friends of Professors Alaine LeRoy Locke, Alonzo H. Brown, Metz T. P. Lochard and Orlando C. Thornton, who were summarily dismissed last week, will lend their influence to efforts to bring about a probe. It is pointed out that the Congress has ample reasons to make an investigation. Howard University was incorporated by an act of Congress. This alone would give Congress the right to investigate its affairs. In addition, the Secretary of the Interior is charged with the supervision of public business relating to it, and the Congress has been annually appropriating money for its maintenance and operation. The appropriations towards the maintenance of Howard University are made to be used in payment of part of the salaries of the officers, professors, teachers and other regular employees of the university. The four dismissed professors were on Government payrolls, and it is pointed out that the Congress has the right to inquire into the reasons for their summary discharge. In the event of an investigation, it is said, Congress will be urged to extend the scope of its inquiry beyond the expenditure of Government appropriations and inquire into charges of mal-administration of the university, and alleged despotism and favoritism. The agitation for a congressional investigation has resulted from a series of happenings at Howard University during recent years, particularly during the last school year, culminating in the dismissal of Professors Locke, Brown, Lochard and Thornton University officials claim that these men were dismissed in conformity with the survey of the institution by R. J. Leonard of the Department of Education of Columbia University. Alumni charge that these professors were discharged because they were sympathetic towards the students during the recent strike against military training and active for increased teachers salaries. They point out that if there was an overlapping of work rendering it possible to dispense with the services of several professors, instructors and assistant professors should have been the first to go. Professor Brown was the head of the mathematics department and had been an instructor in mathematics at Howard University for sixteen years. Professor Locke is a Rhodes scholar and has taught at Howard University for fourteen years. Professor Lochard was born in France and has taught French at Howard for eight years. If the Congress at its next session decides to authorize an investigation, some startling revelations in regard to the administration of affairs at Howard University are expected. Shortage of $26,581.03 Is Owed Principally By White Borrowers and the Bank Officials Office: 920 U Street, N.W. BLE FOR LABORER Shortage of $ Is Owed Pri White Bo the B In the first and preliminary report of the receivers of the defunct Union Laborers Bank, which closed its doors August 16, 1924, it is recommended that suits against the partners, trustees and shareholders be prosecuted to recover from them personally money due to depositors and creditors of the business. The report, which was filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia this week, was prepared by Charles H. Houston, one of the receivers. It contains a complete outline of the history of this banking business from its organization until it failed to open business. The report concludes that the receivers are convinced after a thorough investigation of the resources of the bank, which consist largely of worthless paper, that very little can be expected to be realized from the assets. They say that they are of the opinion that the only chance for the depositors and creditors to be paid in full is for a suit to be prosecuted against the shareholders and trustees to hold them personally liable for all the debts of the business. In the event that personal liability of the shareholders and trustees should be established, they suggest that they be required to come into court and satisfy immediately the claims of depositors and other creditors. They would then surrender to them all of the records and negotiable paper in their hands, so that they may collect what they can from debtors. They feel that it would be inequitable to force the depositors and creditors to await the outcome of collection suits against debtors; which would probably eat up in expenses all that would be ultimately collected. No Pilfering "Your receivers have discovered no pilfering by any officers of the bank," they advise the court. "Their mistakes are chiefly those of ignorance and are based upon a misconception of the nature of banking deposits, which is wholly erroneous. " They also report that in the conduct of the business, which was intended to be a Negro business, financed by Negroes, managed and operated by Negroes for the benefit of Negroes, the largest and most insecure loans made were to white borrowers. They say that of the total of $26,581.03 of negotiable paper in their possession, a total of $9,424.51 is for obligations of white debtors, and $6,957.46 is for obligations of officers, employees or agents of the bank. The bank was first operated as a partnership in the nature of a joint stock company. On September 13, 1922, a declaration of trust was made and entered into by and between James H. W. Howard, J. Finley Wilson, John A. Edwards, Thomas C. Smith and Dr. Rambert T. Nelson, whereby they declared themselves trustees to hold and manage the business, and they transferred to themselves the assets of the business. Against this trustee organization, the receivers find that there must be charged the following bad paper of the directors or officers, which has been found by them and apparently never paid: Note made by James H. W. Howard, June 1, 1922, for $20; note made by Dr. R. T. Nelson, June 8, 1922, for $990; notes made by J. Finley Wilson to self and endorsed in blank, June 20, 1922, and due in installments, $540, and note made by John A. Edwards to self, umindorsed, August 5, 1922, Washington's Best Advertising Medium, ERS BANK OF $26,581.03 Principally By Borrowers and Bank Officials due in 60 days, $170; total, $1,720. The receivers report that beginning with the formation of the business under the declaration of trust, when the entire active charge of the business was placed in the hands of James W. H. Howard, the business went from bad to worse. "Without knowledge of the banking-business," they say, "he proceeded recklessly to expand his operations." The Union Laborers Reality and Mortgage Company was incorporated September 23, 1922, under the laws of the District of Columbia. The officers of the bank were chiefly the officers of this concern. Mr. Howard was its president with Horatio C. Sykes for a large part of the time its manager. The receivers report that the resources of the bank were used recklessly to finance the operations of the reality concern, and they list the following negotiable instruments as being in their possession and clashed generally as hopeless debts: Xmas Savings Bring Cash The receivers in their report declare that the banking business ran into definite financial difficulties in December, 1923, when it became time to pay.

They find evidence to this effect in a transaction in January, 1924, when the Imperial Council, A. E. A. O. N., a depositor, had occasion to forward a certified check to Chicago for $2,500. The bank was unable to honor this check upon presentment, they say, and some delay and difficulties were experienced before the matter was finally settled. "From this time on the bank never recovered," they report "and it was only a question of how long the closing could be delayed. In this respect the officers of the bank are most severely to be condemned for continuing operations, soliciting new accounts, attempting to sink further capital into the business, all the while fraudulently leading the general public to believe that the bank was in sound condition. "The trustees even went so far as to hold a Booster Meeting at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church in June, 1924, for the purpose of encouraging new subscriptions and accounts. "Mr. Howard personally continued to receive deposits up to and including August 12, 1924, when he had been refusing and holding off on payments of checks drawn on deposits since at least August 1, 1924. For this there can be no excuse even on the ground of ignorance." The court appointed Charles H. Houston and August W. Gray receivers on December 5, last. T You Too Can Have Beauty "I was not always as attractive as I am now. My hair, which should be woman's greatest charm, used to be coarse and unruly due to dandruff, and my face was sallow and often bore ugly pimples. "I had heard Exelento Quinine Pomade praised on all sides and I got a package and began using it as directed. The results were astonishing. My dandruff all left me and my hair began to get so soft and silky that it was a delight to comb it." "Then I began to use Exelento Skin Soap on my face and the results were equally amazing. All blemishes disappeared and my face became soft, smooth and beautiful." Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap may be obtained for only 25% each at all drug stores or will be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price.

Madame Jones prides herself of the fact of being the only palmist in the world who has, during her stay in England, been officially summoned to the St. James Palace in London to read Class of 1924 Loses Fight for Extension of Eligibility The Board of Education at its meeting last Wednesday afternoon refused to extend the eligibility of members of the 1924 class of the Miner Normal School to July 1, next, with a view to their immediate appointment to positions in the school system of the District. The board heard spokesmen in their behalf. It was brought out that out of a graduating class of 115, only 23 were appointed to positions in the school system. There were 15 other vacancies, but these were filled by the reinstatement of married, who had been out under the two-year leave rule in maternity cases. The parents of a number of graduates of the 1924 class and some of the graduates themselves appeared before the board in person and presented a petition for the extension of their eligibility. F. C. Johnson was the chairman of the delegation. The petition was presented to the board by the Rev. C. L. Russell, pastor of Loyal M. C. F. Church. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, explained that the eligibility of the members of this class expired on the night of the graduation of the class of 1925. The names of those who were not appointed will go on a five-year consolidated list. The members of the 1925 class will receive priority in appointments to vacancies until their eligibility expires with the graduation of the class next year. There were 130 graduates in the Miner Normal School class this year. Under the rules all of these will have to be appointed before there would be any appointments from the five-year consolidated list. Not over thirty vacancies are expected to be filled from the 1925 graduating class. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, expressed sympathy for the members of the 1924 class but stated that he did not see that any injustice was done them. He stated that those who failed of appointment ought to seek jobs elsewhere. After explaining that the 1924 class had no claims on the board for employment, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett moved that their petition be not granted. The question of the rating of about eight junior high school teachers was referred to the auditor for his opinion by July 1, with the understanding that if he should decide the question favorably to the teachers the board would take action at its next meeting on that date. The teachers contend that inasmuch as they have eligibility requirements for senior high school work, that they are entitled to the rate of pay of senior high school teachers. Junior high school teachers are in the 2-A salary classification which carries with it a basic salary of $1,600 a year. These teachers with high school eligibility requirements contend that they should be placed in the 2-C class, which has a basic salary of $1,800 a year. High school eligibility requirement is a degree of its equivalent from an accredited college. The case of the teachers was presented by R. A. Gillem and A. S. Rucker. Superintendent Ballou stated that the law does not contemplate doing what they ask to be done. WIFE OF ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF JOURNAL AND GUIDE PASSES AWAY HERE Mrs. Hattie Lucille Reid Young, wife of Associate Editor, H. C. Young of Norfolk Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va., died Friday, June 19, 9:30 p.m. at the residence of her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Walter H.

The following year she was confirmed a member in Grace Episcopal Church, Norfolk, in the services of which she was actively engaged until her illness which began in April, 1924. Mrs. Young lived the life of a consistent Christian, a devoted and faithful wife, a self-sacrificing friend and a lover of humanity. She was more interested in the welfare of others than of herself. In the social life of Norfolk she was prominent, being a member of the Swastika and Syanora Clubs and the Needle Craft Art Circles. Her funeral was conducted by Rev. William H.

While not getting a definite promise, Mr. Thomas is expecting some promotions July first. He also reported the case of one, Evelyn Hunt, a writer of the Washington Herald, who wrote a very insulting article concerning colored people. He wrote the editor and called upon him in person, receiving assurance that no other articles injurious to colored people would appear in that paper again. Mr. Thomas took up the murder of the innocent colored boy by a white policeman with the district attorney who promised to indict the officer who had committed a similar killing but two months before, if sufficient evidence could be found to influence the grand jury. Since then the grand jury refused to indict, showing the corrupt state of the public mind here in the capital. He reported the new order to the American Automobile Association which excludes colored people from membership. Two colored teachers had applied for renewal of membership which were sought when the association was small, but were told of the new order. Mr. Thomas visited, the headquarters only to be told that the new order was final, and was issued on the complaint of southern members. He reported the widespread campaign for opening the white bathing beach which Congress had ordered dismantled because the colored people Theatre Near 12th June 28th SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY AVIES in "The Great" Modern Life 9:30 00; 8:00; 10:00 E" Kinograms —THURSDAY NEILAN'S n ing Venus" SWEET, RONALD COLEMAN sense to the Nth Degree "WIDE AWAKE" 0:00 MEXICAN MELODY" SATURDAY EDRO DE CORDOBA indolero" Walking Run at "The Earle." ..

Neval Thomas Reports Many Activities in Segregation Fight The District Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its regular monthly meeting at the Phyllis Wheatly Y. W. C. A. on Wednesday night. Its president, Neval H. Thomas, presided and called for reports of committees. He gave a survey of the activities of the president in the various departments of the government and of the city. He told of his visit to the stationmaster at the Union Station where it was reported that Negro red caps were to lose their positions because one of them had extracted an order discriminating against colored people, from the order book, and sent it to the Crisis. The stationmaster assured Mr. Thomas that no such change was contemplated, and the discriminatory order had been revoked. Mr. Thomas also reported the dismissal of a clerk in the city post office who was restored to duty after he had visited the postmaster and alleged prejudice against the clerk by his white chief. He also reported his protest to Mr. Robert N. Harper president of the Washington Audito- ATTENTION!!

While we do not condone crime, it does appear to us that undue excitement and unwarranted haste are brought about when, usually, the defendant is a member of the Negro Race. Policemen are allowed to be guided by their own emotions as to when a fugitive should be killed. And, if the fugitive is a Negro, an example is rarely ever made of the policeman. No excitement is caused, if the defendant is white and the victim is a Negro. When a charwoman at the Capitol, a year or so ago, was felled and dragged to her death by an automobile driven by a white culprit, no excitement was caused, nor was the culprit even apprehended, until, a week or more later, a Congressman, missing her, offered a reward. Then the culprit—though he fled from the scene of the accident, in violation of the traffic regulation—was exonerated. We can see no fairness in all this haste in meeting out justice (so-called)—giving the "utmost penalty" to the two in the automobile which caused the death of "the Little Angel of Providence." She was a citizen of Washington, so was the charwoman. As a citizen, the one had no more right to life than the other. The Government is as much in duty bound to protect one law-abiding citizen as it is another. The same efforts, differing in kind but not in degree, should be made to bring the miscreant, irrespective of race or color, to the bar of justice. And we expect the District Attorney's office of the Capital of the Nation, itself, to set an example of fairness to all to the several States of the country. THE BLATANT BLANTON Representative T. H.

Representative T. H. Blanton of Texas, again breaks a vacillating political friendship with Colonel C. O. Sherrill, head of the bureau of public buildings and grounds. This time the dismantling of the Tidal Basin beach and the opening of the public fountains to children are the sources of Blanton's blasts. In a letter to Sherrill, Blanton expressed his disgust at Sherrill's attempt (?) to force "white and colored people to bathe in the same pool," and accuses the director of the public buildings and parks of trying to "bring about mixed bathing of white and colored races." Blanton states in part that, Congress "has consistently stood for separate schools, separate playgrounds, separate theatres, separate hotels and separate cafes," and therefore, it is not very likely that Congress—as Blanton sees it—will sanction Sherrill's attempt to "bring about mixed bathing" by opening up "all of the public fountains of the city to children under 12 years of age, with no limitation." Blanton is determined to have certain of these fountains restricted "to the use of white children, and certain others to the use of colored children." It is plainly seen that our struggle to bring about a condition fair to all is an uphill climb. There are members in Congress who try to block the passage of all legislation which tends to make segregation a misdemeanor or a crime. There are clubs and organizations of every kind and editors of segregationist newspapers teaching adults and children how to "beat" the law. They are urging parents to sign the "white covenant" and are persuading children to beg their parents to do so. The "white covenant," if contested, will be upheld, they teach, by the courts; thus preventing Negroes from taking "possession of our schools and our churches and our play-grounds." Negro educators, journalists, professionals, business people, in fact all who have influence over others, must make a concerted effort to convince the growing generation that segregation has no place in a democratic nation. We must teach our children that white and black are equal—the one surpassing the other in certain respects only because of longer and more varied experiences. We must remove the timidity of enjoying or witnessing public affairs, where no legislation prevents such. We must lay stress on time and effort and environment as the main factors in making for superiority. The American Negro, while handicapped by the lack of time, is greatly benefited by the environment in which he has lived. Oppression has made him stronger. It is awakening in him a race pride and creating in him a desire for freedom. Segregation is as old as the hills. Every race has, at some time or another, suffered its evil consequences, and has emerged only by protesting and fighting. We cannot hope to shake off the shackles of segregation by mere acquiescence, while the blatant Blanton arranges his forces to keep us fettered. We could use the force of our secret and fraternal organizations to a great advantage, if we would co-ordinate that latent power. Awake! Utilize the influence which can be brought to bear by racial coordination of fraternal and secret orders. J. A. Jackson Retires From "Billboard" (The Associated Negro Press) New York, N.Y., June 24—J. A. "Billboard" Jackson, who has made his name famous in theatrical, fraternal and business circles, has retired from the editorial staff of the Billboard, after more than four years of splendid service, during which time "Jack" has put the famous theatrical publication on the map within the group such as it had never before known.

Mr. Donaldson is a man of lofty ideals, and absolutely square on a matter of justice. But, the Billboard, is a business proposition, and not an adventure in mere sentiment. Jackson covered and produced magnificently from the editorial standpoint, and the readers within the race went up by leaps and bounds, but the advertising end, with which Jackson was not responsible of course, never satisfactorily measured up. Hence, the directors, in keeping with the general policy of economy, decided to discontinue the department together with two others. Mr. Jackson was given a most hearty letter of tribute and recommendation, signed by Mr. Donaldson and all of the other officials of the company. He was given a month's pay, and a substantial bonus, by Mr. Donaldson, and assured by Mr. Donaldson that he would personally tour THE WASHINGTON TIMBUNE Letters to the Editor ALERT AND FEARLESS LEADERSHIP To the Editor of The Washington Tribune, It is but fair that the public should know of the activity of Professor Neval Thomas, President of the N. A. A. C. P. of the Washington, D.C. branch, in securing just treatment of our group in the bathing beach situation. Immediately upon being approached by Mr. Walker of the Tribune and myself, regarding the steps being taken to segregate our people, although busy in his classroom, he hastily got in touch with Congressman Madden, Senator Capper and other leaders and registered protest against the selection of an undesirable place about to be given our race. A man who is alert, capable and fearless in discharge of his duties to the race should be commended and supported. Mr. Thomas proved himself an able and willing servant for the highest good of his people by acting promptly and wisely in this matter. The Colored members of the City Council were alive, as was also Mr. Nixon. And through men of this type are we hoping for better conditions in this city of entirely too much prejudice and discrimination. E. D. W. JONES, Bishop, A. M. E.

Many people prominent in Educational activities of the County attended the exercises. anywhere to recommend Jackson for any position. Mr. Jackson, who lives at 231 West 140th Street, this city, will consider several offers now before him, before deciding on another venture. For almost a score of years he was in the intelligence department of the U. S Government, and traveled all over the world. He is a man of fine personality, character, ability and experience.

Once upon a time there was a brown faced woman who could not read or write, and she married a man much older than herself and neither could be read or write. Both of these people had been slaves, but when they married they were free. That there are 206 Negro jewelers in the United States? The first champion in American pugilism was a Negro, a slave, one Tom Molinaux, of Richmond, Va., who in the first part of the nineteenth century won his freedom by winning In 1872 a little son was born to them, and it is about him we shall talk. This child was Paul Lawrence Ounbar. 100 000 stake for his master: Negro soldiers were the first Amer- ian soldiers to receive the Crox de Guerre, the coveted French military medal? Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, and he romped and played with other children. At the age of seven he began writing bits of verse. The these verses were childish they showed spark of genius in them. There are nearly a hundred towns and settlements in the United States populated and governed entirely or almost entirely by Necrocs. He attended public school and proved to be an apt scholar. He was interested mostly in spelling, grammar and literature. Continuing to write verses, his teachers encouraged him in his determined attempts. We bought more Liberty Bonds in proportion to our wealth than any other element of American citizenship? That there are 762 Negroes engaged in the real estate business? His literary tendencies had an out- while he was attending high school. he was editor of the High School Times, a monthly publication issued by the pupils of the Steele High School. His work along this line aused very favorable comment by all who saw it. Negroes own twenty-nine million acres of land, an area equal to that of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island? That we should be proud we are Negroes, and forge ahead and do worthwhile things so as to add a bit of prestige to our race? When he was nineteen years old he graduated from high school and had the pleasure of hearing the class song composed by himself, sung at his commencement exercises. of the road and upon mounting the first rung of the ladder of success he still founds that the matter of his being a Negro played against him. While Paul was attending school he also had to work after hours, to help support his mother—as his father had did ere this time. It is said of him those who knew him that he was withful and loyal to his mother. But all this goes to show that merit, true merit, must prevail. Although he had many bitter phases of life to face are his untimely death, he forged ahead; his former condition of life nor color could not hold him back. She always showed an interest in its work and often she laid aside little craps of paper on which he had written notes for future use. She never drew anything she saw laying round and in later years some of nose scraps of paper proved to contain some of his best works. In 1892 and '93 he had published his first book, a small volume of poems called "Oak and Ivy." It cost $125 to have them published and he sold the books and paid for the publishing through the sale of them. In 1896 his second volume called "Majors and Minors" was published. Later he was appointed to ride in the inaugural parade of President McKinley, with the rank of Colonel. Dunbar is now known as one of America's leading poets. He aroused the world with songs of tenderness and beauty. Not as a warrior who may accomplish good through the slaughter of others, Dunbar, the singer of God's own songs, accomplished god through touching the souls of all who seek the beautiful. He assisted his mother by taking some baskets of clothes, and doing odd his around hotels and stores. At the age of twenty he was running and elevator, but he continued to write his thoughts in that style of poetry we have come to love so well. at this time Dr. John Clark Ridpath published some of his works in the newspapers and the work received immediate and popular acclaim. He had traveled a long, long road of hardships and at last had come to the end TRIBUNE MONTHLY LIMERICK LIMERICK NO. 3—JUNE 20th TO This coupon is good only for one child.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JUNE 27 1925 AN ENCOURAGING WEEK This has been rather an encouraging week: Our little friends have sent in many letters but many found their way to the goat. Just the best letters will be published from now on, so be neat, write on one side of paper only, number each sheet, and write plainly. The submitted limerick lines took a rather big jump but they are not up to the mark. The contest should cause more interest in the Children's Page—we are doing fairly well—but must do better. We suggest, that you send a letter along with your limerick line. Do not repeat your first letter, but always place your age after your name. More Letters Wanted To the readers who have never written to the page, we invite you to do so. Give name, address, and age. Even if you do not send in lmerick lines let us hear from you. A little friendly letter will be appreciated. Never lay your paper aside after reading the Children's Page. Read the news in it. Are you a member of a social club? Who do you think is the greatest Negro that ever lived? These questions should suggest things you could write about. Let us hear from you. DE MOON DAWN By Kennard.

BOOBY CHECKERS Arrange the checkers on the board in the regular formation and with one eye blind-folded play a game of checkers by moving the checkers "towards" you from your opponent's side of the board. In so playing the king row for you to reach is the row nearest your breast. The fun is created by the unusual method of moving toward's one self; apparently moving the checkers of your opponent; and the number of jumps you will neglect because you do not see as much, nor as quickly with one eye as you can with two. The rules of the regular game are followed. WHEN GOD LETS LOOSE A THINKER By Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe or where it will end. There is not a piece of science but its flank may not be turned tomorrow; there is not any literary reputation; not the so-called eternal names of fame, that may not be revised and condemned. The very hopes of man, the thoughts of his heart, the religion of nations, the manners and morals of mankind, are all at the mercy of a new generalization. Generalization is always a new influx of the divinity into the mind. Hence the thrill that attends it. MOTHER AND BOOKS Next to my mother dear And her pleasant looks, Next to a kiss of her's I love my books. I love the open fields, It's glades and nooks, Give me the open air, Mother's love and books. On ocean's foaming crests, By streams or brooks, Nothing is dear'r to me GAME OF DEFINITIONS Ask your friends to define "chair." Many will say "a chair is something to sit on." You reply, "So is a bench, a stool, a sofa." There are many words we have common use for but which we cannot define. Such words as box, stove, window, room, yard, tree. Try it when the fun lags, but remember that you must be able to define the words yourself. AGE TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. WHAT CAUSES "YOU" TO LAUGH? If you saw an old wrinkled, gray-haired woman, whose clothes fit any sort of way, tottering down the street, would you point a teasing finger at her and laugh? If you saw a man or woman slip upon a fruit skin, would you laugh without knowing whether he or she had received an injury? If you heard an old man saying "dis" and "dat" for "this" and "that," would you laugh? Perhaps he toiled long, long years to send some boy or girl to school and fit them to become teachers of you so that you would not say "dis" or "dat." Be careful at what you laugh; and very careful how you laugh. To laugh too loudly or at the wrong time shows one's inability to think clearly. What sort of humor or wit causes you to laugh? We are all familiar with the comics of today. "Happy Hooligan" causes people to laugh yet he is always getting hurt. Can misery cause you to laugh in real life? Some of the silly incidents leading up to his unfortunate predicaments may appear comical. "Tis here "Mutt, and Jeff," another picture frequently ending with the little fellow in misery. A laugh is expected and of course the laugh is given. But in real life it is not a trait of gentleness to laugh at misfortune. The other day I saw some boys playing baseball. One boy reeled over and several of the boys laughed without considering the injured boys' condition. Their idea of sympathy and consideration for others is warped. Always try to place yourself in an unfortunate person's place, and realize that a kindly word, a pat on the shoulder, or a smile of encouragement goes a long way in keeping the Golden Rule. MINISTERING SPIRITS Angels are guardian spirits that hover around us, and are ever ready to come to our help in time of need; are swift, silent, and sure in their ministrations. The inspired psalmist says that God makes his angels like the viewless air in subtility, and in swiftness like the lightning. When they worship in heaven, the chorus of their voices is louder than the roar of the sea in storms. When they bring messages to God's servants in the dremas of the night their whisper is more gentle than the sleeping infant's breath. The faithful witness of the truth unto whom they are sent may be lost among mountains or dying of hunger and thirst in the desert; he may be chained and guarded by soldiers in a dungeon or tossing on the sea; he may be cast bound into the fiery furnace or into the den of lions; he may be held in sore bondage or banished to some lonely isle of the deep;-but they find him with equal ease in the darkest night and in the most distant land. VACCINATIONS! "What are all those white patches," one student asked another, "that everyone is wearing on his arm?" "Oh, don't you know? They are vaccinations. I've got one," the other student responded, proudly showing his little white patch just below his shoulder. "Well!" With that the boy with the vaccination received a hearty slap on the shoulder, whereupon, cringing with pain, he crept away, only to misjudge his step and bump that little white patch roughly against the corner of his locker. He found, while walking through the halls, that everyone seemed to brush against him more closely than ever before, and though he tried to shrink back from them, it was of no avail. It seemed, also, that all his pals had something to impress upon him with a little knock on the arm. Such was the day spent by a vaccinated student at Armstrong High during the last period of the recent school year. SCRIPTURE Let not thy heart be troubled, yea believe in God. — John 14:1.

Funeral Directors and Undertakers' Establishment wishes to announce to its many patrons and friends that during the eight years that it has been in business our slogan has been and still is "Efficiency and Service." As to our efficiency and service during that time, we can refer you to those families who have been our patrons in their hour of great distress. We have never made or attempted to make the prices of our funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve. We think that every normal family knows better what they want to spend and are able to spend on their deceased loved ones, than any disinterested undertaker could know; therefore we leave the subject of cost entirely up to you. We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want you to make it.
