Maidens, bewarel If you do not
want to miss the next foot ball game,
take this little warning from me, and
organize congenial parties all your
own, for unless you are married to a
man or have a very, very faithful one
on the string. you may be left in the
lurch. All the Lotharios, the Beau
Brummels, the Sir Galahads, the Sir
Waiter Raleighs, Lord Chesterhelds,
or whatever other name is used to
designate the handsome, pleasant,
courtiy and thoughtful male creatures,
may Allah bless them and may their
shadows never grow less, are getting
tired OF taking girls to foot ball
games. That's true. One Of Omaha's
most promising and prominent law
yers told me SO.
This year." quoth he, I'm going
to stag II with half dozen other fcl-
lows. Last year took girl down
to the game" ali, yes, clever reader,
he is an alumnus OF our great state
university, "but it's too much bother"
"Botherp exclaimed l. why, |
should think that a girl would be less
bother, more intelligent companion
At foot ball game than when wit
Messing any other kind Of sport. Not
that wish to boast, but now -
"Oh. we'll" he replied, "it's not that
they are so much trouble during the
game, but afterward, you know, you
can't do anything that you want to
because you have to be looking after
a girl. OF course. girls are indispen-
sable, but, well--Pm going to stag it.

Ala. recently it was stated that there
was = serious shortage Of colored Ia

to the fact that the colored people are
leaving the south at the rate Of nearly
100 per day for the north, southwest
and parts Of Virginia and Kentucky. (.

NEGROES WIN GREAT BATTLE
FOR RESPECT.
Star only Race Paper to Stand Up
While Attorney Townsend eatt'eo
Against Odds.

The Injunction restraining the city
authorities from barring the Birth OF
the Nation" has been dissolved, and
the costs assessed against the plain
tiffs. First, the Star. on behalf of the
C lored people of this city, desire to
thank Mayor Speer and the city at
torney's Office for the valuable and
timely assistance given US in our last
fight against the return of that vicious
film, the direct cause Of our present
segregation agitation. With a very
cautious thought and wise advised
ly," the Star says openly that we have
never believed that that decision and
obiter dictum given in the case ever
expressed Judge Buffers true, deep
down-in-hisheart opinion. We have
tried too many cases before him in the
West Side Court, and he had too many
chances to show his prejudice and
caprices, and which, to his credit, he
never showed, but always the reverse
the greatest care in protecting even
the humblest.
He was the Negroes ideal Judge I'M
til the Birth OF a Nation" came to
town.
However, we are glad that since the
city has added constitutional amend
ment to our charter giving exclusive
power-and right into the hands of the
Commissioner OF Safety-that Judge
Butler has dissolved the Injunction and
dismissed the case, placing the Ne
groes on a plane where they were be-
fore the film ever came to our city
the first time.
The Negroes Of Denver need to
thank Lawyer Townsend and the Star
in staying on the job until the work
has veen accomplished. What did we
do? We assembled organized, protest
ed to the City Council that closed Ia
Dor Grand, which was opened by court
order. Later play returns while court

and winter. for the building up Of
strong, pure bodies among the 500 boys
Of Hampton and for the Development
of athletic teams which would reflect
credit on the institution and the whole
Negro race.
Mr.. Williams has never lost sight of
the Importance Of getting the entire
student body into wholesome athletic
work. Football. baseball. basketball,
rowing, general track athletics-all
these lines of sport have been system
atically developed at Hampton under
his direction.
Tho all round training and disci.
pline Of boys have been the essential
aim rather than the training OF . few
winning teams which would help ad-
vertise the Hampton school, In the
Hampton gymnasium during the past
six years hundreds Of boys have re-
ceived valuable setting up exercises
and helpful ideas for wholesome com
munity recreation which they have
been able to put at the service Of dis
tant rural and urban districts. Boys
who come from Hampton are now ex
pected to bring with them some work
Ing plans for community recreation.
Many have asked. why Is Mr.. WI
liams SO successful in turning out win
ming football teams7" Here is the sub
stance of Mr.. Williams reply:
1.-The success of Hampton athletic
teams Is due first to the regular life
and habits Of the students; second. to
their sense Of obedience, which Is the
En- fko. Apfl
and third. to their fine spirit OF loyalty
to the Hampton school and its officers.
The director also believes In "pre-
paredness in athletics" He applies to
his problems scientific knowledge and
does not have to worry about results.
for the results take care Of themselves.
He gives to the men under his charge
much individual study and care. He
does not allow good material to go to
waste in losing teams through lack Of
training and understanding.
Every summer Mr.. Williams gives q
course in physical training at Hamp-
ton, which covers instruction in calls.

gymnastics by means Of free exercises
without hand apparatus that may be
used in any school. The exercises
given in the use Of wands, Indian clubs
and dumbbells are suitable for drills In
school work.
In gymnastic and playground games
the following are considered: Base

We are given to understand that the
circulators Of these petitions are not

welcomes from our citizens, and that
the Democratic and Republican COM
mitteemen and women have been i'm

fight means to fight against the circu-

Star urges every Negro to find out Just
who are doing the circulating, whose
names are signed to the petitions,

whom, or whether in business or not.

Smith is one of the directors Of the
Martin Smith School of Music in New
York. She holds two diplomas from
the Institute OF Music Art, OF which
Walter Damrosch is the director. Miss
Smith has appeared with David Man
mes and other leading artists.

tute musical festival. She also has the
distinction Of being the original plan

Smith is an artist
As little child she evinced a remark
able aptitude for music and at eleven
was regarded very promising piano
student. When her musical education
had got beyond the ordinary instruc-
tor she easily passed the very rigid en-

Of Musical Art of New York and after
studying there for seven year, gradu-
ated with honor.
Sigismund Stojowski, the favorite
pupil Of Paderewski, was her piano
teacher, and her instructors in har-

ment. ideals in playing and the value
of competition. Mr.. Williams has ais,
helped to organize track meets for the
juniors on the lower peninsula Of yir-
ginia. He has succeeded, too. in bring
ing into the Hampton gymnasium for
work some of the boys clubs Of the
neighborhood.
Through athletics Mr.. Williams has
helped to teach many, many boys that
irregular living does not pay, that phys
ical efiaciency h important, that health
giving recreation for communities Is
both desirable and possible.
Mr.. Williams in a recent article In
the Southern Workman wisely said:
Athletics tend to use the surplus en-
ergy of young men and women. They
promote spirit of loyalty that cannot
be SO well developed otherwise. But in
order that they may do the greatest
good they must exist for the student
and not serve solely to advertise the
school. The object of their maintenance
in any school must be one of service in
developing health, strength and vital
ity and in promoting wholesome recrea.
ton. Athletics as we have them today
can be used as powerful social force.
They can be used in developing a
higher social morality or a lower one
by the standards set in the college
games which are witnessed by hun
dreds and thousands of youth eack
year. .
Zone of the great problems confront
ing the American people today is that
of wholesome recreation. and 1t is In
deed serious with the Negro. To realize
its importance one has only to notice
how and where the youth of the Negro
race are spending their hours of recrea-
ton, both in the cities and In rural dis
tricts. The object of this great athletic
movement that is sweeping over our
land Is an earnest effort to meet, at
least in part. this demand for diver
sion. Our schools and colleges can do
an inestimable good If they encourage
the great mass Of the youth to partici-
pate in such games and pastimes as
will develop the manly virtues of cour-
age, endurance. unselfshness, heroism.
patience and nobility of soul"
