unable to Set food. They asked
Candy to fill fnefr wagon. Candy
heard the story. had the wagon
filled with stores, and urged them
to hurry back home.
Just outside OF the fort, Hall and
his son stopped for a. moment at
the river landing. A steamer from
Mobile came up and some, one on

SENT VAN DYKES HOUSE
OF RIMMON"
Sophoclean Dramatic Club Sets High
Standard of Attainment
Religious Drama Well Received
Oriental Costumes and Attractive
Stage Settings Add to Effectiveness
of Excellent Student Acting
By VIM. Anthony Aery

Hampton, Va.-The Sophoclean ORA
matte Club of Hampton Institute in
its recent presentation, in Ogden Hall,
before large and enthusiastic audi
ence, of DIR. Henry van Dykes four
act religious drama, "The House OF
Rimmon," set new high standard OF
student dramatic attainment.
The principal roles of this drama
IA drama dealing with the valor Of
Naaman, captain of the armies of
Damascus, who was the victim Of a
faithless wife, and the self-sacrifce Of
Ruahmah, a captive maid in Israel,
who cared for Naaman in his blind
ness and 1eprosy, and who finally
brought her master to Elisha for
treatment and restoration 80 were
played by Isaac o. White of Alex
andria, Va, and Emmy B. Churchill
Of Baltimore, Md. These players
were ably supported by ten other i'm
portant characters and by supple
mentary groups Of well-trained sol
diers, sentinels, dancers, priests, and
citizens. Incidental music was fur
nished BY members Of the Hampton
Institute Orchestra.
The costumes and stage settings
were appropriate to the period-850
B. C.-when Assyria was carrying out
her ruthless policy Of aggrandizement
and when Benhadad, the aged king Of
Damascus, was undecided about ac-
cepting the Assyrian challenge Of war
or her offer Of peace with degrading
Submission Then it was that Recon.
high priest Of the House u Rimmon
persuaded Naaman's wife, Tsarpi, to
offer her husband a poison cup, which
in time brought Naaman, the victori-
Gus one in battle, to blindness and
leprosy. Ruahmah's belief III Ieho-
yah and love for her master. however
won the final victory. Naaman at
last killed the false priest Of Rirnnlon
and accepted Jehovah as his God.
Picturesqueness was added to this
DRAMA not only by the Oriental cos
tunes, but also by the rapid shift Of
scenes, including night in the garden
OF Naaman al Damascus, the audience
han IN Benhadad.s palace, the fore
court Of the house Of Rimmon, Naa-
mans tent among the mountains near
Samaria, Naaman's camp at night, and

According to the article in "Ameri-
ca" which is entitled "The Impor-
lance Of Negro Patriotism" the new
militancy of the Negro is more highly
organized than any previous and more
conservative program Of Negro lead
ers. The writer continues:
Its greatest strength probably lies
in its principal spokesman, the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. This organ
ization has its national Offices in New
York with subsidiary branches in
practically every city Of importance in
the United States. It's official report
for 1921 gives detailed account Of
every important accomplishment dur
ing the year. It tells Of work on ma

Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill; Of the

cases, the numerous extradition cases,
and other notable legal work; Of

PRAISES N. A. "A. c. p. FOR
MAKING MEASURE KNOWN
THROUGHOUT COUNTRY

Representative Leonidas c. Dyer OF
Missouri, who was sponsor for the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the last
Congress, will reintroduce the meas
ure at the next session, according to
announcement made BY the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People, 20 Fifth avenue, New
York City. Mr.. Dyer so informed
James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the N. A. A. G. P. during the latter's
visit to Washington, on March %,
where he spoke, together with Mr..
Dyer, at mass meeting held by the
District of Columbia Branch, N. A. A.
c. P. In the course Of his address
Mr. Dyer said:
"The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
done great work in acquainting the
people of this country with their
needs. This work should be carried
on, not only BY the members Of the
Association and their officers, but by
the pastors of the colored churches OF
the nation. The people Of the colored
race should pass the word on TO their
representatives in the national capital
before Congress convenes, SO that a
stronger foundation may be had, when
this subject comes up again"
Present plans are to have the Dyer
Anticipating Bill introduced stimuli
taneously in the Senate and the House
Of Representatives. According to Rep
resentative Dyer. the prospect is ex-
cellent for the passage Of the bill a
second time in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and it IS hoped that steps
will be taken in the Senate to. revise
the rules of the Senate in a way to
make such a hlibuster as was carried
