tween SO and 100 establishments ir

not have their onrpremises ABC
licenses renewed this year. The
present licenses expire June 80.
Inspectors have been canvassins
the Northern Virginia area in order
to fill out the sales reports they
must submit to the board. AL
decisions as to denial Of license re-

Establishments are within the AleXan-

Special Census Give,
Arlington Tentative
122,A6 Population

Tentative figures OF q special
census in Arlington showing that
the county's population has jumped
from 57,040 in 1910 to 1872 2,446, indi-
Gates school problems may be larger
than previously thought, according
to School Board Chairman Barnard
Joy. "a 's "a s~~T y
The census, which vas prompted
by a school board desire to de-
termine how many children can be
expected to enter the countys
schools In the near future, is being
conducted by the Bureau of the
Census under the direction Of Har-
vey B. Mitchell.
Figures Preliminary.
MI Mitchell emphasized that the
figure was preliminary and subject
to revision. He said criticisms of
the figure or communications from
persons who feel the enumerators
missed them should be addressed
to him at the Monroe School in
Arlington. The deadline for re-
vision of the figure is April l, 1913.
Mr.. Joy pointed out that in cities
of comparable size with Arlington's
present population, the attendance
average us between $4,000 and 49,
600 while it is only 10000 in Arling-
ton. He said this may indicate that
a large number of Arlington's resi-
dents are children who are yet to
enter school. He added that cities
with more than 100000 population
spend between 100000 and So
600, 900 annually on school operation
alone compared with the $500, 900
operating expenditures this year in
Arlington.
Eventual Figure Of 5000 Seen.
"Well probably find out when the
census is completed and broken
down that many of the war babies
aren't in school yet" Mr.. Joy ex-
planned. He said the figure indicates
the possibility that Arlington some
day may have a high school popu-
lation OF about 5000 instead Of
the present estimate of 1900.
County Manager A. T. Lundberg
said the census would help in county
planning. He pointed out, however,
that it would not count as far as
State ALLEGATIONS Of funds are con-
cerned because the State operates
only on decennial figures.
The special census was taken,
however, after the school board
asked for an enumeration OF pros
pective pupils. 1t was decided to go
ahead and take a complete census.

Meet Kelsey Pharr
BY RAMONA LOWE
(Concluded)

The Greater Miami Civic league
lasted from 1885 to 1941 was organ
lied by Pharr who was also its
president. That organization was re-
sponsible. for the Liberty Square
Housing Project underway, the third
such housing project for Negroes in
the south.
Pharr has seen a good many
changes in attitudes during his 81
years here. When I came to Miami
the White people did not want Ne
groes to have cars. They would not
even tolerate Negro chauffeurs. A
member of the school board at the
time made the remark that driving
car was a White mans job.
There was a big fellow here
though who was always ready for a
fight. One day when he was riding
through the town cracker insulted
him as they had been accustomed
to doing whenever they saw Negro
driving and our man nearly beat
him to death. The trouble all along
had been that the police would not
arrest the hoodlums. But this time
it was evident that the Negroes wero
disturbed. They stood behind the
fellow and put up his bail and the
judge gave time and suspended
sentences. After that we never had
any more trouble driving"
The judge who tried that case
over 80 years ago was the same one
who recently appointed Pharr guar

girl now attending Palmer Memorial
institute who will be worth a quar-

Pharr has two sons. One is prin-
cipal of school in the south and
the other is member of the Delta
Rhythm Boys in New York. He has
educated about four other young
men and women and has adopted
one whom he is sending to Column.

Indians fought themselves back

Almost the same situation pre-

to the hospital with brain
hemorrhage, the Indians were IN

ming streak. They had crept up
to within two and a half games
of the league leading Red Sox.
Cleveland lost that game and

dams dropped four full games
behind the Sox, and again, just
as in 1920, hope was abandoned.
