not squabble over the prize. AS the
Central European powers of the day,
they made simple division-Trieste
for Austria, Fiume for Hungary. The
ports, whose hinterlands included nearly
all the empire, handled much of Central
Europe's sea trade.
Today Trieste, by far the larger, is
city of Italian-style homes sprinkled
over wide amphitheater of hills sur
rounding a modern harbor. Windows
are hanked by thick shutters which
citizens have learned to close and keep
closed in time of trouble. Business and
public buildings show an Austrian in
fiuence, but retain the fiat facades and
roofs generally seen in Mediterranean
countries.
Fine Harbor
Large steamers dock in an ample
harbor naturally protected by for
tunate drift of currents from the sitting

Adriatic ports. Manmade moles and
breakwaters help shelter the harbor
from the effects of the bora, fierce
northeast wind. The Grand Canal, lead

with their small savings to provide edu-
cation for their own children and those
of their neighbors. George Bells wife
had also been slave, her husband
and she having been owned by the
same families at different times. But
they not only bought their own free
dom, but the freedom of their children
as well, one of whom, daughter, be-
came the wife of John F. Cook, who
became school teacher and a min
lister of the gospel.
The school building erected by Messrs.
Bell, Franklin and Liverpool was soon
given up as school and became a
residence. However, a few years later
an association known as the Resolute
Beneficial Society was formed of free
colored people, and school was started
in the same building about 1918, and it
was in this school that John Adams,
said to have been the first colored man
to teach school in the District, was the
instructor. In early life he had been a
shoemaker.
Henry Potter, an Englishman, opened
school for colored children at the
southeast corner of Seventh and
streets northwest in 1909 And about
the same time Mrs. Anne Maria Hall
conducted school for this race on First
street East, facing the Capitol. The
first school for colored children in
Georgetown was opened by Mrs. Mary
Billing, an Englishwoman, in 1870 1t

youths was established by Henry
Smothers near the northeast corner of
Fourteenth and H streets, and here he
continued its management as late as
1924. Smothers was succeeded here by
John w. Prout, and he conducted the
school here for the next 10 years. In
1927, Lethe Tanner, a veteran of the
Cook family, before mentioned, bought
the corner lot at this intersection, and
for SO years or more the Tanners and
Cooks. lived there in a tWo-story frame
dwelling, then assessed at $l.400. Here
Mrs. Tanner conducted a variety store.
The adjoining schoolhouse was small
frame building, and here Rev. John
F. Cook served as schoolmaster from
1884 till his death in 1855. 1t was here
that the colored Presbyterian Church,
which for many years afterward stood
opposite Mcpherson Square, was first
organized in 1842.
Teachers of Note
Rev. Cook, the school teacher, and
first pastor of the church, was successful
in both positions. His sons, John F. and
George F. T. Cook, both became teach
ers of note. The former taught his own
school near Sixteenth and K streets un-
til the colored public schools were estab-
lished in 1857. He later became collector
of taxes for the District of Columbia
and a member of the board of educa-
tion George F. T Cook succeeded his
father in the H street school and was,
as stated, the first colored superinten-
dent of the colored public schools.
Among the families who were repre-
sented in the Cooks school were the
Lewises, Shorters, Thomases, CAROLS,
Datchers, Poseys and Dodsons. Those
being the days of slavery and prejudice"
according to James Croggon, the pupils
were taught under some difficulties, for
at times incendiary remarks or publi-
cations, and escapes OF slaves by the
underground railroad, would excite the
white neighbors of the school and boys
would vent their spleen by stoning the
schoolhouse and pupils.
An Early Report
But returning to the early free schools
for colored children we find that the
first of these was opened in the Dis
trict on March l, 1854 in church at
Fourth and D streets Sc. And in jan
uary, 1899, plans were then being made
for celebrating this event when The
Star had this to say:
Before 1852 public schools had been
closed to the colored citizens-but in
that year Congress passed an act set
ting aside 10 per cent of the taxes paid
by colored citizens to set up schools
for their children in Washington and
Georgetown. Shortly afterward a spe-
cial board of trustees for the colored
schools was also created.
But the income from this source,
even supplemented by private philan-
thropy, was insufficient, and it was not
until two years later that the first free
school was opened, with one teacher at
a $40o-a-year salary and one volun-
teer.

Trieste, Fiume, and the rocky
peninsula of Istria rising between them
have in modern times been bones of
contention gnawed at by four countries.
Italy and Yugoslavia, today's claimants
to the area, were preceded before World
War by Austria and Hungary. Interna-
tionalization of Trieste would give all
countries free access to that important
port.

Austria feasted alone on this morsel of
land. Austrians called 1t Triest, giving
its name a fourth spelling and pro-
nunciation.
Two to One Slavic
The disputed area (roughly, the de-
partment of Venezia Giulia, east of the
Isonzo River) had a prewar population
of less than million. More than one
fourth Of these lived in Trieste. Fiume,
Pola and Gorizia had more than $4,000
persons each. The cities are largely
Italian, Trieste about IS per cent SO
by most estimates. Fiume, however,
counting the suburb Of Susak-Yugo-
slavia's thin slice of the Istrian pie
was almost evenly divided between the
contending nationalities.
The ratio Of Slavs to Italians In the
disputed area as whole is about two
to one. Rural sections, except for a
fringe along the western shore Of
Istria and the Monfalcone corner, are
almost totally Slovene or Croat. In
area the entire region equals Rhode
Island and Delaware combined.
The Karst Qtalian Carso), desolate
plateau Of porous limestone outcrop-
pings, covers large sections of the In

Creation coast, forming barrier be-
tween interior Yugoslavia and its long
Adriatic shoreline. Fiume, most access

narrow coastal shelf with room to ex-
pand only along the water front.

There is no time like the present
for using tomatoes. And that will
be just as true in the middle Of
next winter when you can reach
for a can or jar of tomatoes from
your pantry shelf as it is now
when you can have luscious, red,
vine-ripened ones Favorites be-
cause of their flavor and color,
tomatoes have long been recogniz-
ed as a source of vitamin c any
time or any way you eat them.
Cooked or canned they retain most
of their vitamin c because the nat
ural acidity of the tomato guards
vitamin c content from destruction.
A five-ounce glass of tomato juice
gives you about 1-3 of the vitamin
c you need for the day, and about
is of your vitamin A needs. A
SlllOll tOlIlCtO VI SCl NulS
of cooked or canned tomatoes will
provide the same amount of these
vitamins.
When fresh tomatoes are available
try broiling them. Cut in half, sea-
| soned, brushed with melted fat, and
perhaps sprinkled with fine bread
crumbs, they make a tasty dish. Or
bake them, plain or stuffed. You
may serve them in one of dozen
or more salads that your family
will enjoy because the tomatoes are
there. Sliced plain they're a fine
addition to cold plate
