dent army units in their respective
schools when they have concluded the
prescribed course here. This group

Student Soldiers Sing.
As compliment to Mrs. Baker, the
student soldiers sang for her a num-
Der of plantation melodies and folk
songs, all reminiscent of their homes
In Dixieland, and as a further COM
pliment some of these songs were led
in finished style by DIR. Robert Russa
Motion, principal of Tuskegee Institute,
Ala, successor to the late Booker T.
Washington. DR.. Motion had come on
from New York City to deliver an ad-
dress TO the faculty and student
body of Howard University and inter-
ested citizens of Washington.
Notable among the songs led by DR..
Motion and sung with fervor by the
monster chorus, was "a Hymn of
Freedom" by Natalie Curtis Burlin,
a fine example of the "spirituals"
that are now being introduced with
marked success in the army camps
throughout the country.
DIR, Jones In Charge.
The meeting at Howard was pre-
sided over by DR.. Thomas Jesse
Jones. of the Bureau of Education,
who spoke of the comrnendable SER
vices of the Colored people to the ma
tion in war and in peace, and on the
platform were a score or more of
men and women prominently identi-
lied with various phases of war work.
DR.. Moton's address was a force
ful and eloquent appeal to the young
colored men of America to do their
full duty toward upholding the honor
OF the flag, and TO utilize every re-
source at their command to bring
into its fullness that pure democracy
which the entire civilized world is
striving TO establish, and in which all
wish to share in equitable proportion.

Worthless Check Trick
Played on Feed Dealer

The ancient and dishonorable trick
of handing out bad check and get
ting good money in return for it has
again made its appearance in Wash
ington.
William James and Son, feed deal
ers. of 81 B street northwest, are
the latest victims of this scheme.
A man about As years of age, five
feet ten inches in height, of slender
build and weighing about $50 pounds,
walked into the James store yester-
day and ordered s2s worth of feed
to be shipped to Brunswick, Nd. He
presented a check for sc, in pay
ment, drawn on a Hagerstown, Md,
bank. He received SO cash and a
perfectly good check for s3S in change.
Investigation showed that the SIC
check was worthless. =
