brilliant contrast of black and white

engraving and printing and into the treasury department to connect the central
system with this building are part of the general plan of power distribution.
These might have to be slightly enlarged to meet the needs of the suggested
traction line. The way would be straight along Fifteenth street, through the
main tunnel with only the changes of direction to be considered, made neces-
sry by the branch tunnels into the two buildings.
An electrically charged ral-perhaps the "thirdlaiI' sysem-would give
the necessary power to operate the cars without accompanying human control
The traction would probably be attached Ito the roof, carrying the cars up In
the air, much like the cash troleys in operation in big department stores.
The cars, as the plan is now suggested, would be o. steel, in the form of
strong boxes or chests and securely fastened, % that the boxes could not be
opened except with the proper opening appliances at either end o. the line in
the custody of the proper authority.
The new central heating, lighting and power plant is to serve what is
technically known Is the white House group'-in contradsinction Ito the
"Captol group"-of government buildings. The site of the plant is at Four
teenth and Water streets, where the location is favorable Ito the delivery Of
fuel and other supplies by rail or water, for which facilities will be provided.
The distribution system will require about two and a half miles of tunnels and
trenches, or 1900 feet.
The buildings to be served from this station will be the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, the auditors building, the department of agriculture,
including all in that group; the National museum and Smithsonian buildings,
the Army Medical museum, the fish commission, Washington monument, the
District building the post office department. building, the treasury building, the

How does a colored man handle his
wi people7 To answer this question.
so far as Captain Washington is con
cerned, is to say that here is a man
who is ready to explain to the boys
why 1t Is necessary for them to obey
certain rules; here is a friend and ad-
wiser, who, with all his kindness, can
not easily be hoodwinked; here is an
administrative officer who is willing to
explain with calmness what is what
and is then prepared to insist thai
boys must do their part to maintain
high standards.
Captain Washington is. indeed, a
big brother" to the 500 Negro and
Indian boys who are being trained at
Hampton for school teaching, farming,
and mechanical industries. He is
friendly but emphatic in his admins
tration Of discipline. He is willing to
put the facts squarely to boys and ex-
poets them to do their best. Even
when he has to send away an occa-
sional boy, he gives the best kind OF
advice and has in this way started
many boys on a higher path.
Allen Washington's career is typical
Of thousands of Negroes, who, during
so years of freedom, have emerged
from a very simple life to take their
places in a complex civilization.
AS an officer of the Hampton school,
Captain Washington has taken part in
many educational and financial meet
ings which have been held to create
new interests in Negro education. He
has travelled far and wide, speaking
on behalf of Hampton and h ideas OF
education for which Hampton n
He knows the South and conditions
which his people face. He was n OF
Doctor Washington's close friends and
associates. He has taken an active
part in the constructive work Of sew
eral Negro organizations which ain to
! promote race relations.
Captain Washington is treasurer OF

ginia, which is carrying to more than
800, 900 Negroes the message of bet

and better homes" and financial Sec
rotary of the Hampton Institute Alum
nj association. He is also president
Of the Sumner Literary society, which
is composed of colored men and wom-
en- who make a serious study Of the
best literature.
Captain Washington has received in
struction from some of the best United
States army officers who have been
stationed at Fort Monroe. He is a
thorough drillmaster and tactician. He
believes in his own race, as we'll as
in white people. He breaches the doc
trine Of success through struggle to
the boys under his charge.
Whether as a farmer, an FISHERMAN,
a harnessmaker, a disciplinarian or a
trusted officer in some Negro organiza-
ton, Allen Washington has always re-
tanned his native simplicity Of speech,
sincerity and spirit of racial good will.
1t is to men of the type of Booker T.
Washington, Robert r. Motion and AL
len Washington that more and more
people are looking today for helpful
suggestions relating to the race prob
