FLETCHER Dr James Fletcher, prominent dance promoter, has just concluded the purchase of the Granada Apartment House at 1433 T Street, Northwest. The deal, which'is the largest ever put through here for an individual Negro, involved $101,000. While the apartment was sold by another firm, the financing was done by the M. M. Harris Co., of 613 F Street, Northwest. The building is modern in every respect, containing 16 apartments and 9 garages. At present it is occupied by white people. Dr. Fletcher is well known here, having promoted most of the largest and most successful dances here. He is married and is considered one of the most progressive young men in the city. His purchasing of the Granada, adds another big apartment to the fast growing list now owned by Negroes. WOMEN CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL OPERATION Edna Gray, of 430 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, and Alice Lester, of 223 Indiana Avenue, Northwest, pleaded not guilty to a charge of abortion when arraigned last Friday morning in the criminal division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Edna Gray was released in bonds of $5,000, and Alice Lester in bonds of $3,000. Their attorneys, R. R. Horner and James A. O'Shea, were given five days in which to demur to the indictment. They are charged with having performed an illegal operation on Marylynn L. Lester on April 11, 1925. The first count in the indictment alleges that the operation was performed by Edna Gray with a catheter, resulting in serious injury to Marylynn L. Lester. It charges Alice Lester with having procured, aided, hired and commanded Edna Gray to commit the abortion. ```markdown ``` The Washington Tribune Argument Over Worth of South Carolinians Ends In Man Being Killed Argument Over Worth of South Carolinians Ends In Man Being Killed Two Washingtonians in New York Divorce Scandal LANSBURGH DEPARTMENT STORE EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES AT SUBURBAN GARDENS LAST SATURDAY PUBLISHED WEEKLY A coroner's jury Monday ordered James Bostick, 27 years, of 15 D Street, Southeast, held as the principal, and Clifton Sample, 24 years old, of 105 G Street, Southwest, as an accessory, in connection with the death of James Robinson, 19 years old, of 613 F Street, Southwest. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that James Robinson came to his death at the Emergency Hospital on July 11, from a gunshot wound due to a bullet fired from a pistol held in the hands of James Bostick. The fatal shooting occurred about 12:30 last Saturday morning in the yard at 105 G Street, Southwest. Robinson was removed to the Emergency Hospital in the automobile of Moses Dyson, also of 105 G Street, Southwest, where he was operated upon. He died at the hospital Saturday night at 8:50 about two hours after he had identified Clifton Sample as the man who had shot him. The testimony at the inquest showed that while a party was in progress in apartment 3 at 105 G Street, Southwest, the trio got in an argument over whether Negroes from South Carolina were any good, both of the men who are held for the killing being from South Carolina. They went into the yard where the argument is said to have continued. New York, July 15—Mrs. Isabel C. Paine of Washington, D. C., has been sued for absolute divorce by her husband, Oscar L. Paine. He bases his action upon the result of an investigation made by a detective agency, which raided the premises at 84 West 134th Street. Mr. Paine claims that when he and the detectives entered the premises they found a man by the name of James E. Thomas, who is said to conduct a business at 1009 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D. C., undressed and in his wife's room. The husband claimed that he had accused his wife of undue friendship since his return from France in 1920. After the raid, Mrs. Paine, it is said, blinded with the detectives not to WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 James Robinson is said to have drawn a kitchen knife and lifted his hand as if to strike. Bostick is said to have then fired the shot. Two hours before his death, Lieut. Holmes of the Fourth precinct testified, Robinson told him and Detective Sergeant Paul Jones that Clifton Sample was the man who shot him. A few minutes later Sample was brought into the room and Robinson positively identified him. Lieut. Holmes said that he told Robinson that he would probably die and that if Clifton did not shoot him, he did not want him to say he did. He then replied, testified Lieut. Holmes, "I hope God may kill me right on my bed if that man did not shoot me." Blanche Smith, of 604 Half Street, Southwest, who talked with Robipson before he was removed to the hospital, testified at the inquest that he had told her that Clifton Sample had shot him. Eyewitnesses, however, testified that the shooting was done by Bostick. Neither Bostick nor Sample took the stand in their defense. Police say that Sample, who was arrested shortly after the shooting, told them that Bostick did the shooting and that he pointed out to them the house where he lived. Bostick surrendered Monday morning before the inquest. mention the name of Mr. Thomas in the divorce proceedings, as he too is well known in Washington. More than that he has a family there. She further is said to have promised that if Thomas' name was omitted from the record she would not defend the suit. Detectives claim that on several occasions they saw Mrs. Paine and Thomas in the room together. The estranged couple were married September 19, 1907, by the Rev. Geo. W. Lee, pastor of Vermont Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. The trouble started in 1912 when Thomas came on the scene. They were separated in 1920 and Mrs. Paine continued to live at 500 R Street, Washington, D. C.

H. Jones, of Chicago, to remit his monthly collections from the various locals to the treasurer. Mr. Jones did not attend the convention until Saturday morning. He made his report and then offered a post dated check for the money he had not remitted.

BRIDGE 5 CENTER T HOUSE Killed EVERY SECTION MOURNS LOSS OF STEWART Chicago, Ill.—Charles Stewart, preacher, journalist and humorist, of this city, died at Conrad's Sanitarium in Gutherie, Oka., Monday, July 18th. "Charlie," as he was commonly called by his hundreds of friends, has been in failing health for over a year. Several months ago, he underwent an operation at the John A. Andrews Hospital, Tuskegee, Ala. He had practically recovered from this operation. However, it is believed that because of the intense heat in the mid-west this summer and because of his excessive weight, he could not combat it in his weakened condition. The body was shipped to Chicago from Oklahoma where funeral services will be held Monday July 20th from Mt. Olivet-Baptist Church of which he was a member. Charles Stewart was born in Frankfort, Ky., May 28th, 1869. He attended public schools in this city and graduated from State University, Louisville, Ky., in 1885; he then took a course at the Anthenaeum Business College of Chicago in 1886. He received several degrees (honorary) from various colleges. He married Miss Elvie L. Washington of Galveston, Tex., June 6th, 1901. To this union there was one child, Charles, Jr. In 1887 he became connected with the Associated Press, a news gathering organization for white papers, which was than in its infancy. He has been connected with this organization ever since, being the only Negro so employed. In 1896 he became press agent for the National Baptist Convention, and continued in this capacity until his death. No convention, political, religious or frateral organization was complete without Charles Stewart. In politics he was Republican. He was a member of the National Negro Press Association, Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and United Brothers of Friendship. New York City—Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League has just returned to New York after a 7,500 mile trip to Pacific Coast cities where he investigated the social conditions among Negroes and inspected work of the Urban League in cities of the middle west. While enroute, he visited Denver, where the National Conference of Social Work of which he is the only colored member of the Executive Board held its annual meeting. Negro Making Strong Bid for Big Plum in Ga. Senatorial courtesy, which will prevent the confirmation of a nominee upon the ground that he is personally objectionable to a Senator from the State in which the appointment is to be made, will probably bar the selection of Walter S. Scott as collector of customs at Savannah, Georgia. Mr. Scott is a bank president and insurance man. He has been prominent in Republican politics in Georgia for a number of years, having served at one time as secretary of the Republican State Central Committee. He has also attended two Republican conventions as a delegate from his congressional district. He now aspires to be the collector of customs at Savannah as a reward for his political services. But between him and the fulfillment of his ambition lies the unwritten rule that the Senate will reject a nomination whenever a Senator from the State in which the appointment lays personally objects. It is reported that Senators William J. Harris and Walter F. George, do not think that a colored person should be given such an important appointment in the State of Georgia as collector of customs at Savannah. In the event that Mr. Scott should be chosen for the place and his nomination sent to the Senate, it is believed that they would fight his confirmation on the ground that he is personally objectionable to them. The custom of the Senate to reject nominations out of courtesy to the Senators from the State in which the appointment is located upon personal objections was broken in the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen as controller of customs at New Orleans, La. At the time when Mr. Cohen was confirmed over the personal objections of Senators Joseph E. Ransdell and Edwin S. Broussard, Democrats, of Louisiana, several Senators took occasion to serve notice that thereafter whenever the nomination of a colored person was under consideration, they would require the Senator personally objecting to state the grounds upon which his objections were based and if they ran only to the color of the nominee, they would not regard the custom of the Senate but would vote for confirmation. Just how hard it is to bring about confirmation of a nominee who is personally objectionable to a Senator, is shown by the fact that Mr. Cohen was twice rejected and was only confirmed when influential colored men prevailed upon the late Senator Robert M. La Follette to get Senator Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota, to move a reconsideration. Mr. Cohen was finally confirmed by a margin of one vote, 39 Senators voting for and 38 Senators voting against confirmation. Three of those voting for his confirmation were Democrats. If Mr. Scott and his supporters should be able to bring about his nomination, it is not thought that he could command sufficient influence to secure his confirmation over the personal objections of the Georgia Senators. He is not as nationally prominent in politics as Mr. Cohen and consequently cannot secure the endorsements of the Republican party bosses' as Mr. Cohen did. Furhermore, he will not have the solid support of his state organization, white and colored, because stood, is seeking to avoid as many in Georgia for this office. stood, is seeking to avoid as many stod, is seeking to avoid as many clashes with Senators as possible and where there are other candidates available it is likely that one of them will be selected rather than one whose nomination will cause a fight in the Senate. The policy of the Coolidge administration in regard to the appointment of colored persons to offices requiring the advice and consent of the Senate will play a part in determining whether or not Mr. Scott will be nominated, if the Treasury Department should favorably consider his application. As yet President Coolidge has not given a colored person an office requiring confirmation by the Senate. But it is probable that the candidacy of Mr. Scott will not get to the White House, as the Secretary of the Treasury may transit the name of one of the other candidates to the President for appointment to this office. !

And isn't it about time that the boxing authorities give the promo- ters some substantial assurance that a mixed bout for the world’s heavyweight championship can be brought off in New York?” Commenting further on the Dempsey-Wills farce, Sid Mercer says that— “If there is any reason why Wills, a respectable citizen of New York and a taxpayer; cannot practice his art on Dempsey, it should be made known, The responsibility’ should be placed exactly where it belongs.” At the time when Dempsey sailed for Europe last Spring, Tom Gibbon: and Gene Tunney were watched, and Wills had been programmed with Chastie Weinert for the Ita-ian Hospital fund show. Dempsey declared that his program for this season would depend upon the outcome of those bouts Gibbons was beaten by Tunney; and “Wills,” says Mercer, “disposed of i einert so. quickly—showed so much superiority and class—that he strengthened his claim to a match with Dempsey.” | He concludes that “Dempsey should be compelled to fight Wills or de. clare that he is through with the game.” 4 BASEBALL SUNDAY, JULY 19 American Leagiie Park LeDroit ‘Tiger - Oratal Tiges Teddy Bears Admission -: 50 Cents If you love good clean baseball—come out and support these teams.

His companions were also hurt and the Studebaker car demolished. Bob Miller is still in a serious condi- tion, although he was removed from the hospital last Saturday. Bob Miller was the storm center in the controversy in the Colored Inter- collegiate Athletic Association, which resulted in Howard.

The big two-hundred-pound guard played on the Virginia Union Univer- sity eleven in 1928.

Theatrical Notes RIN-TIN-TIN in "THE LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SEA" COMING TO BROADWAY Starting Sunday till Monday the Boardway Theatre will present the screen classic of the season in Rin-Tin-Tin, the peerless fighting dog, supported by Loise Fazenda and Buster Collier, J., in "The Lighthouse by the Sea." The picture cannot fail to have an abundance of rapid fire thrills and dramatic action because I am sure all of our patrons remember this wonderful dog in such plays as "Where the North Begins" and "Find Your Man," but you will find in "The Lighthouse by the Sea," that Rin-Tin-Tin has gone them all one better as he is doing the impossible stunts in this one that are real and not faked in any manner. Tuesday will give to you a story of night life in Paris with Barbara La Marr and Conway Tearle in "The White Moth." Wednesday and Thursday, Adolphe Menjou in a "Kiss in The Dark," while the week will end on Friday and Saturday with thrills for every wife and sweetheart in an amazing story of love and marriage, "Why Men Leave Home." REPUBLIC THEATRE Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, July 19, 20, 21 - Bebe Daniels in "The Crowded Hour" supported by Kenneth Harlan and T. Roy Barnes. The picture is a fine romantic drama laid in New York, punctuated with sure-fire thrill scenes behind the lines in France during the World War. Bebe has the role of a telephone operator who aspires to the career of an actress. How she wins success in a big Broadway production and how, later, over there, the real woman in her is awakened by the scenes of heroism and self-sacrifice makes "The Crowded Hour" one of the best pictures of the season. A new Van Bibber comedy with Earle Foxe entitled "The Amateur Detective" will also be shown. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, July 22, 23, 24—"Men and Women," a Wm. DeMille production with Richard Dix, Neil Hamilton, Claire Adams and Robert Edeson. Mr. DeMille has made a living, throbbing, cross-section of life in "Men and Women." The story centers around a bank cashier and his young wife. His salary is not large enough to allow her all the luxuries she craves. The cashier's assistant also loves her and—through gambling—gives her the luxuries she desires. "Men and Women" is the most sincere and human picture ever made. Saturday, July 25—one day only—Pola Negri in "Bella Donna" her first American picture. This picture is returned by special request. Miss Negri is supported by Adolphe Menjou, Con- Mme.

It was his first appearance here and he showed rare form, striking out 17 Indians and allowing but three hits. Errors figured in the runs which the Indians got, Lacey allowing but five men to reach third base. The 17 strike-outs is a local record.

These recreational centers are under the direction of the playground department which is headed by Mrs. Susan Root Rhodes an expert in social welfare work. Ably assisting Mrs. Rhodes is an executive staff composed of Mr. R. Tennyson, Mrs. F. Chambers and Misses W. M. White and M. N. Parker. On each playground are two attendants in most instances, college undergraduates, selected because of their special adaptitude for the work. These include: Misses A. Marshall, B. Chism, H. Bennett, J. Ford, S. Bryant, E. Chambers, O. Bottese, M. Boyd, H. Lewis, Mrs. F. Neale, R. Molson, M. Plummer, Messrs. C. Dyer, H. Robinson, W. Hasty, W. Cuney, P. Johnson, F. Hundley, L. Wormley, M. Weaver, N. Baceus, F. Trigg. The playgrounds are opened daily from 10 to 6 except Saturdays when the closing hour is one o'clock. A definite schedule of activities are followed daily. These include baseball, athletic button tests, track and field sports, industrial work, ring and kindergarten games, and basketry. Elimination contests in track and field sports are in progress on each of the eleven grounds. The survivors will be pitted against the Baltimore schoolboys in an inter-city championship meet at Cardoza Playground on August 29th. The first game of the inter-playground baseball series resulted in a whirlwind contest between Burville and Crummell middets. Burville led by five runs until the final inning when Crummell staged a batting rally which netted 7 tallies. Burville could only garner one run in their last half which left the count 7 to 6 in favor of Crummell. A quoit tournament to select a district champion is booked for the week of August 17-23. LIBERIANS GIVE HUGE RUBBER CONCESSION TO AMERICAN INTERESTS Liberia, July—(By the Associated Negro Press)—According to reports circulated here, American interests headed by Harvey S.

We can not prevail upon ourselves to believe that parading Klans will have a more peaceful effect upon the citizens of Wash- ington than they have had upon citizens of other cities in which the hooded order has paraded. ‘As late as this week a report-comes from a town in Massachu- setts informing us that fierce rioting broke out between Klansmen and anti-Klansmen, causing destruction to property and injury ee perpone, during a meeting and parading of the white robed order. * The Negro was not an issue in this rioting in Leicester, Massa- chusetts, for his number is so small in this New England town as to be almost negligible. It was the outgrowth of the bitter- ness between “citizens” of the Klans and “non-citizens” of the hooded order. What obtained in Leicester, and has been found to obtain in all other places, will no doubt obtain here August 8th. The Klans, the most un-Christian, vicious, undemocratic or- ganization in America, may parade here, bringing with them terror, destruction and bloodshed, only with the consent of the District Commissioners. Knowing, as the commissioners do, what the logical outcome of a parade by the Klans here will be, they can not plead, “not guilty,” of the evils which are almost sure to result. We shall, therefore, lay the responsibility for whatever may occur at the door of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. - LONDON VERSUS DAYTON What an exhilaration it is to turn from that miasma of human folly at Dayton, Tennessee, to the report which brings news from London, telling us that the British National Institute of Medical Research will soon announce the discovery and isolation of the micro-organism which produces cancer! How dramatic the con. _trast is, yet so simple as to be understood even in the backward mountains of Tennessee! ene) gfe W. J. Bryan’s efforts, for the past few years, in making life intolerable for the man of science in the South may be contrasted with those of scientific men in other parts of the world who have been quietly at work trying to find the causes of the afflictions of mankind. What a handicap it would have been to these scien- tists had they had to consult the Bible before they dared come to a conclusion! What a curse it would have been had they had to obtain permission from William Jennings Bryan or the Rev. J. Roach Straton before they expounded an hypothesis; or had they had to run the gantlet of a vote in the Tennessee legislature! What benefit would these scientists’ labors have been to mankind, if they had to stand trial before a jury of twelve men, one of which could not read and none of which has read a scientific ook? Would such a procedure have given mankind any hope to reach a cure for a disease like cancer? We can not hope to make any,noticeable progress unless we al- low scientific research to be absolutely free to try any theory which seems plausible and to reach any conclusion which the evidence supports. We can not intelligently require a scientist to pause to consider whether his conclusion fits Fundamentalism. We should hold him accountable only to his peers—to his col- leagues of science.

But, no doubt, a perusal of history will be somewhat a shock to your intelligence; especially when that perusal shows the similarity z of the case against G&lileo, in the seventeenth century, to that against Scopes, the youthful Ten- F nessee science teacher, 300 years later. = Neither Galileo nor Scopes gave birth to the x theories that they taught. Like Copernicus, a 7 fifteenth century priest, Galileo believed and | agate taught that the sun, not the earth, was the sta- li q tionary center of the universe—a theory exactly opposite to. that of Aristotle—and that the earth is the moving body. This theory was not widely : disseminated and did not receive much attention W. L. PARKER nti] Galileo rescued it from obscurity and began \his experiments with instruments and the telescope which event- ually forced nearly the entire Christian world to accept the theory of Copernicus concerning the sun and the earth. Scopes believes, as did Darwin, and teaches, that man is an evolutionary product of lower forms of life. But the followers of Aristotle of seventeenth century Italy did not take to Galileo's teaching any better than the people of Tennessee are taking to the suggestion that they are the great- great-ad-infinitum grandchildren of an amoeba. Therefore, both made themselves liable to discipline by expounding theories in the classroom which, in both instances, were branded by the ultra- conservatives as.“‘blasphemy of the Holy Scriptures.” The Aris- totelians would not accept any theory which relegated this planet to a position of subordination and inferiority. And it is plain 10 the Tennesseans that any theory which does not support: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,” is in direct con- tradiction to the Bible, and, therefore, heretical. Consequently, both suffered indictment at the hands of the powers that be. And both—but here the similarity ends; for the Florentine threw prin- ciple to the winds and chose the most expedient course, while the youthful Tennessean is standing his ground. Tt may not be amiss to quote here Galileo's answer to his ene- mies’ attacks to show that the Modernistic position in the twen- tieth century theological circles is but a paraphrase of the words of an astronomer who lived 300 years ago. “Though Scripture can not err,” asserted Galileo, “its expounders and in- terpreters are liable to err in many ways, and one error in particular would be most grave and most frequent if we always stopped short at the literal significance of words. For then it would be necessary to give God hands and feet and ears and human bodily emotions, such as anger and repentance, hatred, forgetfulness. And in Scriptures there are found many proposi- tions making the bare sense of the words appear contrary to the truth, but they are placed there in such wise in order to accommodate themselves to the capacity of the vulgar. Holy Scripture has to be accommodated to the common understanding in many things which differ in reality from the terms used in speaking of them. ... As we dan not be certain that in- terpreters are all divinely inspired, I think it would be prudent if mer were forbidden to employ passages of Scripture for the purpose of sustain. ing what our senses or demonstrated truth may manifest to the contrary Who can set bounds to the mind of man? Who dares to assert that he already knows all that in this universe is knowable? “I believe that the intention of Holy Writ was to persuade men of the truths necessary to salvation; such as neither science nor other means could render credible, but only the voice of the Holy Spirit. But I do not think it necessary to believe that the same God who gave us our senses, our speech our intellect, would have us put aside the use of them.” NOTICE NOTICE Near the Bay ; | ?

Main 1539 452 N St, N.W, ~(Cut this out and keep for future reference.) COURAGE One of the features on the program of this Page, is to wage a fight, against the use of the word "nigger." Each Tribunite is urged to help make his or her friends see how unfair it is to ourselves, as a race, to use this one word. First we must not use it ourselves, secondly we must urge others not to use it. It requires courage to speak on this subject to some people. When we set out to do good we must not falter. We must take advantage of every opportunity. A story is told of Frederick Douglass and the courage he displayed in making a speech against slavery. The incident took place in England. He attended the World's Temperance Convention which was held in Convent Garden, August 7, 1846. People from all over the world were at this convention, and, of course, there were lots of Americans there who were not in favor of freeing the slaves in the United States. Douglass listened to the praising of America by the Americans. He was not a delegate to the convention but he was on the program to speak. His ambition was to arouse feeling against slavery. He saw an opportunity and he had the courage to take advantage of it. "Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen," he began, "I am not a delegate to this convention. Those who would have been most likely to elect me as a delegate not, because they are tonight held in abject slavery in the United States. Sir, I regret, that I cannot fully unite with the American delegates in their patriotic eulogies of America and American societies. I cannot do so for this good reason: there are at this moment three millions of the American population, by slavery and prejudice, placed entirely beyond the pale of American temperance societies. The three million slaves are completely excluded by slavery, and four hundred thousand free colored people are almost as completely excluded by an inverteate prejudice against them on account of their color. "I do not say these things to wound the feelings of the American delegates; I simply mention them in their presence and before this audience that, seeing how you regard this hatred and neglect of the colored people, they may be inclined, on their return home, to enlarge the field of their temperance operations and embrace within the scope of their influence my long neglected race. "Sir, to give you some idea of the difficulties and obstacles in the way of the temperance reformation of the colored population of the United States, allow we to state a few facts. About the year 1840, a few intelligent, sober, and benevolent colored people of Philadelphia, being acquainted with the alarming ravages of intemperance among a numerous class of colored people in that city, and finding themselves neglected and excluded from white societies, organized societies among themselves, appointed temperance committees, sent out agents built temperance halls, and were earnestly and successfully rescuing many from the fangs of intemperance. "The cause went nobly, until August 1, 1842, the day when England gave liberty to one hundred thousand souls in the West Indies. The colored temperance societies selected this day to march in procession through the city, in the hope that such a demonstration would have the effect of bringing others into their ranks. They formed their procession, unfolded their teetotal banners, and proceeded to the accomplishment of their purpose. It was a delightful sight. But, sir, they had not proceeded down two streets before they were brutally assailed by a ruthless mob; their ranks broken up; their persons beaten and pelted with stones and brickbats. One of their churches was burned to the ground, and their best temperance hall utterly demolished." The Americans on the platform were angry—but Douglass knew he was right and he had the courage to say that which was right. Here was a runaway slave being a champion for his people—can we be less? Do not use the word nigger—have courage to remind others not to use it. If you have friends who persist in using the word even after you have talked to them, if you showed them some of the articles in this paper against the use of the words—perhaps it would do some good. July 10th was a "Red Letter" day at Camp Matthews when five of the twenty-eight boys received their Camp letters for signal service rendered at camp during the past two weeks. The boys were Howard Wilkes, Louis Caster, Norman Bell, John Chesley, and Charles Edelin. Howard Wilkes was the honor boy of the group, receiving his B.S.A. and 25. Rev. W. L. Read, chairman of the lodges, assisted by Mr. Jas. W. Reed, Camp Director. Among those present at the ceremony were Rev. John La Farge, S.J., pastor of Ridge; Rev. T. J. Barrrett and Wm. J. Brosnan, S.J., of Woodstock College; Rev. Joseph Murphy of Holy Redeemer Church and Professor Daniel, principal of Cardinal Gibbons Institute. Camp Matthews is a move to unite the colored parishes of Washington and Baltimore into one big camp for boys. Its situation on the Cardinal Gibbons Institute property has the advantage of Mass every Sunday. Salt water bathing, baseball field, and a Boy Scout program of interesting activities, calculated to build up the boy physically and morally. A LANTERN BAZAAR An attractive feature for young people to use as a means of obtaining money for their clubs is a Lantern Bazaar. The idea is to decorate a lawn or room with home-made lanterns, flags, stars, flowers, pennants, etc., made of tissue paper. Announce a prize for the prettiest lantern, the largest, smallest or funniest lantern. At a certain time, place all the contestants in a line and have them march before three or five judges who will decide upon the winner or winners. You need not get expensive presents nor one for each feature mentioned here. Just two prizes would do. One for the prettiest home-made and a booby for the funniest. The idea is to encourage the making of home-made lanterns. An admission of five, ten, or fifteen cents could be charged. This program can be easily arranged for playgrounds or Sunday Schools. Show this article to your school teacher, community leader, Sunday school teacher, or club members as it may interest them. BUSY LITTLE FOLKS The Handy Girl Every girl knows what it means to get a stain on her dress. Removing stains and spots of different kinds from one's clothes is an art well-worth careful study. No matter how careful we are, it seems like an impossibility to keep away from a freshly painted rail or door. As soon as you discover that you have a fresh paint spot on your dress rub it vigorously with a piece of the same material and unless it is a very large spot it will yield to the treatment. Boiling water will remove coffee and tea stains. Fruit stains may be treated in the same way if they are not too old. Medicine stains can be removed with alcohol; grass stains should be removed with applications of molasses and alcohol. Strong vinegar will remove whitewash. Chocolate can be removed from garments with borax and cold water. The Handy Boy Can you use a saw, a hammer and nails? Yes? Well here is a simple article you can make for mother. Get a dry goods box about three feet square and as deep as necessary to hold the family washing. Divide the box into four compartments. Equip it with a set of wheels so that it can be pushed along. Then say to mother, "Now when you take your clothes off the line fold such things as knit underwear, stockings, crepe nightgowns and underwear that does not need ironing and place in one compartment, place all the starched clothes in another compartment, the smaller things such as handkerchiefs, napkins, hand towels, etc., in another and the large pieces like sheets and table cloistse in the fourth. Thus you have all of your clothes separated as you take them off the line and it will save you a good deal of time in sorting, folding, etc., later on."

MY ADVENTURE AS A PAIR OF SHOES Once upon a time I was a pair of shoes. One day I was sent from a factory to a shoe store. I also had three other sisters who went just where I did. In came a lady with her little boy who was very rude. She asked for a pair of brown shoes for her son who tried on my sister but she was too small; then he tried me on and said I was all right. He wore me home and the next day to school. He was very unkind to me that day, and when he got home, what do you think his mother and father did to him? They whipped him because he had stumped my toes and got me all dirty, and then they only let him wear me on Sundays. He did not kick me around as much as he did when I was first bought. Then I lived happy ever after. If you would take it seriously as to wearing your shoes out, and how hard it is to obtain us, maybe you would keep us a longer time. HENRIETTA C. TAYLOR. Dear Editor: I think that the expression "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry, and you cry alone," means "If something comes into your life that brings joy and gladness, many will share your happiness, but if something brings sorrow and grief not many, if any, will want to share your troubles." Fifty years ago the Maoris, of New Zealand, were savages and frequently had cannibalistic feasts. Today several members of their race have won seats in the New Zealand Parliament, and Maori women, as well as the white women of New Zealand, exercise the right to vote. 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. CASH AWARDED FOR COMPLETED LIMERICK Two More Weeks in Which to Compete in Limerick Contest 50c is to be given to the six Tribunites who send in the best completed Limerick. Cut out the limerick above and take it to school; at lunch hour get your friends to make lines to complete the limerick. By doing this you may cause a friend to decide to send in a line, thereby winning one of the prizes. Suppose you ask dad or mother to give you a suggestion for a line. Parents have some good ideas. Try it. It will be fun for them as well as fun for you. Winners of contests should come to the office and ask to see Mr. Frazier. What can you do with fifty cents? Many things? Of course you can. Then get busy at once and complete the limerick. You are having fun while you are earning money. Do not think that your line will be worse than others which are submitted. Try to convince yourself that your line will be better, or, at least, as good as any others sent in. The winners of this linerick will WHY I WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL Every boy's and girl's idea should be "to finish school." We should accomplish this while we are young, because in later years we will regret that we cannot fill some of the places which others are rapidly filling. We should not go to school simply because the Board of Education, and other organizations, demand that we go. We should go because we want to get that education which means more to us than many other things; we should go to help those who are dear to us and for the advancement of the Negro Race. We should want an excellent education because little we can do without it to achieve success. We should not be despondent and "give up" because things do not "suit" us sometimes. We can not we must not let this stop us from attaining success. Please bear these things in mind, fellow Tribunites, and some of you think it over. You will find it is best to go to school after all. These are my reasons for wanting to go back to school. GO 'EM ONE BETTER If your mother is a teacher, or father is a doctor, they can afford, or rather they have a car, own their home, have a piano, a servant, nice furniture, and they intend to send you to college. That's fine. But what are you going to do? Do you intend to go 'em one better or do you intend to be a mere everyday somebody? Don't go backwards. If your parents have succeeded to a certain extent—then go 'em one better. Does mother take in washing from Monday morning to Friday night—or does father toil in the sun or snow ten hours a day? With all of this they send you to school. They want you to go 'em one better. Never stand still, never go backwards. Whatever your parents are, go ahead of them. That is the dream they have while they toil or sacrifice for you. Whatever your parents may be, get it in your mind to go 'em one better. To do so will help you, help your community, and help your race. Teacher—"What is the most commonly used phrase in high school?" Student—"I don't know." Teacher—"Correct." THELMA E. LANE ATTY. COLLINS MAKES GOOD IN ALEXANDRIA William Wonzer walks out of court, a free man after a hard legal fight, while another legal victory goes to Attorney A. H. Collins. Wonzer who operates a business in the city of Alexandria, wasted and convicted in the Corporation Court of the city of Alexandria on December 4, 1924, for violating the State Prohibition Law and sentenced to serve three months in jail and pay a fine of $250. Attorney Collins, representing Wonzer, moved the Court to set the verdict of jury aside and grant his client a new trial. The Court over-ruling his motion, he took exceptions and applied to the Supreme Court of Appeals for a writ of error, which was granted and he argued the case before the Supreme Court of Appeals at Richmond on March 13, 1925. The Court of Appeals decided that the lower Court errored in not granting a new trial and ordered the case back to the lower court to be tried anew. The case was called for trial Monday and for want of new evidence, the Commonwealth moved that the case be nole prosse and Wonzer walked out of court a free man. Attorney Collins began the practice of law in Alexandria five years ago, at a time when it was said that a Negro lawyer could not practice in the Courts of that city. During his five years of practice, he has made for himself an enviable reputation as a lawyer and is highly respected by the judges and also the bar, and is styled by them as a fighter. Because of his reputation, the Wonzer case has caused much interest throughout the city as to how the case would end. His friends and clients, both colored and white, believed that the would win the case and when the case was won they were loud in their congratulations to him for his victory. It is said that the Wonzer case is the first case that the Supreme Court of Appeals has reversed coming from the Corporation Court since this judge has been on the bench.

Third Trust Loans Made Stormy Election of Officers Marks Closing of Convention (this session Governor John H. Bartlett spoke after President Glenn had made his report. He declared that it was hard to determine whether or not the use of photographs as a means of identification by the Civil Service Commission, of which he was formerly president, was right or wrong. He said that it was only natural for a person employing a clerk to want to see like what he or she looked. He said that the object in view was not always discriminatory, for other means of discrimination were available. He advised that it would be better for the organization to direct its fight against the person who discriminates on account of color. Governor Bartlett was introduced by John T. Risher, of Washington, D.C. Tendency toward the elimination of colored men from the postal service was pointed out by President Glenn in his biennial report. He urged the members of the Alliance to comply strictly "with the postal laws and regulations at all times; to obey superior officers without argument; and to render each day the best service possible." Advantages of centralized organization were emphasized by Rienzi B. Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees. He explained to the convention the advantages to be obtained through collective bargaining. H. H. Ateman, vice president, told of the results of the membership campaign during the year. He commended especially the work of Roscoe Mitchell of Baltimore; E. A. Bryant, of Jacksonville; Frank A. Carter of St. Louis, W. J. Harvey of Memphis; and Henry T. Ellington of Birmingham. Visit Colonel Young's Grave Members of the National Alliance of Postal Employees visited Arlington National Cemetery at noon and placed wreaths on the graves of Colonel Charles Denton Young and the Unknown Soldier. Friday was taken up with reports of officers. R. L. Bailey, of Indianapolis, Ind, attorney for the National Alliance, submitted his report covering particularly the incorporation of the organization in the State of Illinois. It was adopted in executive session. Abolition of the use of photographs by the Civil Service Commission as a means of identification was urged by the committee on the address of the president. On Saturday morning, Henry Lincoln Johnson addressed the convention. He warmly praised Postmaster General Harry S. Ned, First Assistant Postmaster General John H. Bartlett, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson, and Assistant Chief Clerk at large John D. Gainey. "You will live a long time before you will ever see their replicas," he said. He advised them that they do not have to truckle. "Don't you do it wherever you live," he said.
