CLINICS TO BE FEATURE OF N. M. A. CONVENTION
Newark Hospitals Break Rule in Opening Clinics to Visitors
NEWARK, N.J.-The local committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the National Medical Association meeting, August 26 to 30, has completed all of its plans for the 34th annual session of that organization.
The meeting will be exceptional in the fact that most of the time will be devoted to clinics, and also exceptional in the fact that unusual contacts have been made for the presentation of the clinics.
The medical and surgical clinics will be held at the new Beth Israel Hospital and the Newark City Hospital. There will also be clinics at Wright's Sanatarium and the Kenney Memorial Hospital. The authorities of the Beth Israel and the Newark City Hospital have waived their ironclad rules in permitting physicians and surgeons not connected with the staff, to carry out the clinics in these hospitals.
Dr. O. A. Webb, chairman of the local pharmaceutical committee, has arranged an extensive program for the pharmacists. The New Jersey College of Pharmacy (the Pharmaceutical Department of Rutgers University) will be open one entire day for addresses and demonstrations in pharmacy.
Visits will be made to the Maltbie Chemical Company, Schering and Glatz, Scott and Bone, Merck and Company, Squibb and Company, and Johnson and Johnson.
Dr. W. W. Wolfe, chairman of the housing committee, has made extensive arrangements for the accommodation of visiting delegates and friends.
Stabbed by Sweetheart
In a fight with his sweetheart, Ethel Smith, on the street, Philip Matthews, age 24 of 422 U street, northwest, was stabbed with an ice pick in the right chest, Wednesday afternoon, July 10. The two, according to witnesses, were walking together down U street, quarrelling continuously. The groans of a man brought neighbors to the scene, who found Matthews staggering painfully along the street. Nearby was found an ice pick, which had been used by the Smith girl to stab him. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, treated and later returned to his home, where physicians say he will continue to improve.
In a midnight fight with her friend, Wednesday July 3, Sara Beasley, 39, was kicked in the left side, suffering a severe conusion and probable internal injuries.

Showalter Co. Adjudged in Contempt
Deflated Value of Property In Affidavit To
Court
Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy, last Wednesday, ordered John B. Showalter, real estate agent trading as the Showalter Realty Company, and Alexander G. Campbell and Luther A. Bennett, salesmen for the firm, all white, to show cause on July 18 why they should not be adjudged in contempt of court for obstructing justice.
The charge against the three real estate men was made by United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and his assistant, Neil Burkinshaw. It is based on the alleged suppression of an offer of $6,000 for property belonging to the estate of John H. Burke.
The petition alleges that the real estate firm was acting as agent for Mrs. Sarah Bennett, executrix of the estate, and suppressed an offer of $6,000 while representing to the court that the property was not worth more than $3,400.
Sold for $3,400
The property was sold to Campbell through the court for $3,400 on March 14. On the same day Campbell put a first trust of $3,000 (Continued on page 2)

TO SAVE 2 GIRLS
SIOUX·CITY, Ia. (CNS)—Nine years ago the wife of David Tapeley, 39, employed at the Cudahy Packing plant, was murdered by a white attacker. Wednesday, he went to the rescue of two white girls being assaulted by three white hoodlums.

Control and Management of Property In Hands of Smith
$80,000 Income Estimated
Contract Calls for Completed Building In 45 Days
The Masonic Temple at Tenth and U streets, northwest, which has been under construction since 1922, is nearing completion. According to the firm of Gary & Risher, brokers, who are agents for the building, it will be ready for occupancy by August 15. The contractor has resumed work on the building.
The Masons plan the dedication of the building in the month of August. The date for the exercises has not yet been set.
Title to the building is now in Mortimer F. Smith, secretary of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The property was transferred to him in May. The consideration is not stated in the deed. He assumed at least a first trust of $220,000 and a second trust of $150,000. Total obligations against the property amounted to about $800,000, Gary & Risher stated, but through negotiations they were reduced to about $475,000
Rent Arrangement
Under a contract, which has not yet been filed in the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, the Masons have the right of redemption. The Masons are to amortize the indebtedness against the building at the rate of $15,000 a year. This sum is to be realized out of the income of the property, but whenever the income from the building will not yield the mortization fund, the Masons are to provide the deficiency.

Josephine Baker Flops In South America
BUENOS AIRES, S.A.—Josephine Baker, the brown siren that stirred the entire European continent, is reported flopping in her engagement in South America.
The "Black Venus," as Josephine is called, arrived from Europe with her husband, a count, she says, and got reams of publicity from the press.
"La Prensa" called her show one of the "ridiculous contortions," while the other big paper, "La Nacion," went into raptures over what it called her art.
In spite of this boosting, Josephine has not proved the success anticipated. The optimistic impressario who is paying her 100,000 passos (about $40,000) for her three months' tour, is not so happy.

Boy is Killed in Fight Over Game
Strikes Head Against Cement Sidewalk In School Yard
Striking his head against the concrete pavement lining the yard of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, William Powell, 15, of 929 V street, was fatally injured. The blow came as the result of being struck in the face by Daniel Redman, 14, of 930 Union court, northwest, on Wednesday.
The fight started when Powell became angry when Redman made a poor shot at basketball. This developed into an altercation in which Powell was knocked down, suffering a fracture of the skull. He was rushed to Garfield Hospital, where he died several hours later.
Redman, who confessed to police of the eighth precinct that he had struck Powell, was held at the Welfare Home pending the coroner's inquest.
Powell's only living relative in this city is Mrs. Blanche Powell, his mother, who was at work when the fight occurred. She knew nothing of his death until early Thursday morning. He has several other relatives in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The coroner's jury exonerated Redman, Thursday, holding the killing to be an unintentional homicide. He was released in the custody of his parents.

ERECTED TO KEEP OUT ALL UNDESIRABLES
ERECTED TO KEEP OUT ALL UNDESIRABLES
Haley Douglass, Public School Teacher, Authorized Building Fence
The latest development in the battle waged by Highland Beach, Md., property owners, to render themselves more exclusive and their community less subject to invasion by what they regard as undesirable elements, occurred when the five-foot barbed wire barricade similar to ones erected during the World War, which greeted July 4th visitors at the popular summer colony was demolished the following night. Not content with uprooting the heavy six-inch posts, the unknown wreckers employed wire cutters to clip the stout wire into small sections. Other than a sign: "K.K.K." placed in the sand nearby, no traces of the perpetrators of the deed were discovered. The barricade, which had aroused the ire and fanned to flames the smouldering resentment of residents of Venice Beach, an adjacent summer colony, was placed along what purports to be the boundary line between the two summer settlements. Crossing the sand beach at right angles to the water line, it extended several feet into the water, thus effectively blocking passage by way of the water-front between the two communities.
The fence, it is understood, was erected by three white men employed for the purpose by Haley G. Douglass, former mayor of Highland Beach and a well-known Washington school teacher and grandson of Frederick Douglass. Although he has disposed of a large portion of his extensive hold-

J. C. NAPIER SAYS JEANES FUND IS PROVIDING BETTER SCHOOLS IN RURAL SOUTH
TWO
As a result of the work being carried on by the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation, Negro children have better rural schools, declared James C. Napier, former Register of the Treasury, who was here this week with his wife.
Mr. Napier came here from New York City where he attended last week the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation which aids rural schools for colored children in Southern states. Mrs. Napier attened the meetings of the executive committee, Douglass Home Historical and Memorial Association, of which she is president. The meetings were held at the Douglass Home in Anacostia.
A Quaker Woman
Miss Jeanes was a Quaker, who lived in Philadelphia, Mr. Napier explained, and at the request of the late Booker T. Washington gave a million dollars to be invested in gilt-edge securities, the income from which for all time is to be applied to the support of normal schools for Negro children. In carring on the work, Dr. James H. Dillard, who has been the president of the trustee board since the establishment of the foundation, adopted the plan of securing the cooperation of superintendents of county schools in Southern states, said Mr. Napier. This was the plan suggested by a colored woman in Henrico County, Virginia.
Better Schools
Better schools, better school houses and longer terms are some of the results obtained by the foundation, he seaid, and its influence has been extended to Africa and has attracted the attention of the General Education Board and the Slater Foundation, which have made large donations for the support of the work. It has also been instrumental in promoting the building of school houses by Julius Rosenwald, Mr. Napier stated.
There are five colored members of the board of trustees. They are Bishop John Hurst, Dr. Robert R. Moton, James C. Napier. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and Robert L. Smith of Waco, Tex.

SAYS NEGRO IS WELCOME IN A.F.OFL.
Pres. Green Makes Statement Here. Can Get Charters Direct
By Louis R. Lautier
The American Federation of Labor stands ready to give to the Negro workers the protection of an organized movement and the Negro workers owe it to themselves and organized labor to join in the movement for the advancement of common interests.
PETER H.
WILLIAM GREEN, President of A. F. L., says Negroes are welcome to Union.
That is the declaration of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement to the Negro press last Wednesday. It was in answer to the question of the attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward Negro workers. The question was asked him because of his pledge of full support to the efforts to organize Pullman car porters and maids, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters having become an affiliated organization of the American Federation of Labor.
Pres. Green's Statement
Mr. Green stated that: "Many Negro workers have assumed the responsibility of industrial workers and have joined the unions of their trades. However, as the national and international unions are organized upon the basis of competency of the workman to meet the requirements of trade union obligations and not the nationality of the applicant, it would be difficult to ascertain the exact number of colored workers now holding membership in the national and international unions of their trades and callings. There are now chartered direct by the American Federation of Labor twenty-two local unions of colored workers and five central labor unions whose component local unions have a membership entirely colored.
"The American Federation of Labor stands ready to give to the Negro workers the protection of an organized movement. Many have already joined, but many more are still on the outside. Our organization has demonstrated its practical value. The struggle is not easy but the Negro workers

Arm Crushed In Accident
William Campbell, 26, a laborer living at 210 E street, southwest, narrowly escaped losing his life Monday afternoon, July 8, when he was just a second too late in getting out of the way of a truck of the Lamner's Construction Company. Campbell was working in an alley between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets, northwest, lifting boards on to the truck, when two boards were suddenly clamped together by the truck, which started to move off. He jumped aside and saved his body, but his arm was smashed severely. The driver of the truck, William Massey, 615 L street, northwest, took Campbell to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was found to be suffering with contusions and lacerations of the arm with probable fractures also.
Title To Temple Vested In Mortimer F. Smith
(Continued from Page 1)
property is in the hands of Smith, who has turned it over to Gary & Risher as agents. The Masons will be permitted the use of two and one-half floors for lodge meeting purposes. The grand lodge will not be charged any rent, being responsible for any deficiency in the assertion fund, but the individual lodges will be required to pay rent to the grand lodge.
Transfer of Title
The gross income from the building will be about $80,000 a year, Gary & Risher stated. All commercial space has already been let to various business enterprises, they say.
The contract for completion of the building was let to the G. G. Lochler Construction Company, which had furnished all labor and material for the building to the time work on it was stopped. Under this contract they had 45 days from June 27 to complete the building.
The credit of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was put behind the effort to save the building from foreclosure and sale at public auction. That accounts for transfer of the title to the property to Smith.
Foreclosure Threatened
At the time that Gary & Risher began negotiations for the Masons, the G. G. Lochler Construction Company had asked the equity court to order a foreclosure and sale of the property at public auction under $105,000 second trust notes which they held for twice the value of labor and material furnished.
Semi-annual interest amounting to $7,525 on the first deed of trust and a first trust note of $5,000 were also due, and the holders of the first trust were threatening to foreclose.
The National Benefit Life Insurance Company was the only concern that was willing to aid in preventing the property from being sold at public auction, Gary & Risher stated. The building when completed, they say, will be worth approximately $600,000.

on the property and on the next day sold it to Mrs. Clara Holmes for $6,000.
Louis R. Mehlinger, attorney for Mrs. Bennett, learned of the sale at the higher price on March 25, when Campbell called to see him regarding a controversy over payment of an assessment against the property for an alley and credit for certain rentals for which no credit had been given in the settlement. Campbell told Mehlinger of the resale.
The executrix, the widow, Mrs. Rachel Burke, and Charles H. Houston, who had been appointed by the court guardian pending the litigation for Ellicott Burke, an heir, were informed by Mehlinger of the resale. Houston petitioned the Probate court to cite the three real estate agents for contempt. Justice Jennings Bailey decided that the probate court had no jurisdiction. He authorized Houston to bring the matter to the attention of the United States Attorney.
Deposited $1,000
At a hearing in the office of Assistant United States Attorney Burkinshaw, it was learned that Mrs. Holmes had given a deposit of $200 to the Showalter Real Estate Company as early as October, 1928, with the understanding the firm could probably get the property for her for about $6,500. On January 30, Mrs. Holmes and her husband, John Holmes, signed a contract,for the purchase of the property and Holmes gave the Showalter Real Estate Company an assignment for $800 against his share of an estate pending in the office of the register of wills, making a total deposit of $1,000 on the property.
Burke died June 14, 1926. He left personal property valued at about $728, and real property at 1129 G street, northeast, assessed for taxation at $3,080. The personal property was not sufficient for the payment of his debts and legacies provided in his will. Mrs. Bennett listed the real estate for sale with various real estate agents.
Petitions for Sale
The executrix petitioned the court for sale of the property to Campbell on January 18, for $3,400 net cash. She filed with her petition three affidavits, one of which was made by Showalter, declaring that the fair market value of the property was not more than $3,300.
Campbell urged Mehlinger and Houston to hasten the court proceedings as it was necessary to close the sale by February 4, or the sale would be lost. The court ordered the sale to Campbell on February 19.
Within one day after receiving title to the property, Campbell resold it to Mrs. Holmes for $2,600 more than he paid for it.

Internes Leave Freedmens
Twelve Graduates Hold Services At Close Of Year
Like the ticking of a giant watch the Freedmen's Hospital, the largest institution of its kind in America, underwent its regular annual change in personnel on July 1.
Howard has taken in twelve more recent graduates of the medical schools, chiefly Howard, to help them "keep on learning." She has honorably discharged twelve new race physicians to help carry on the noble work of keeping a nation healthy.
Singularly enough, out of twelve physicians graduating from their internship from Freedmen's only three of them have remained to practice in this city. On the other hand, they have spread out into various states over the entire country.
It was something akin to leaving the third lines for the front, when on July 1, twelve silent men packed up and moved reluctantly from their wards, their very sick patients, and some not so sick, and moved up to the battle line of life to do their bit in humanity's never-ending war against disease.
Hold Smoker
The night before, there had been a smoker, a traditional affair at the hospital, a salute, and a fairwell from the new to the old, and, as speeches of regret and farewell were rendered by Dr. T. E. Jones, heads were solemly bowed. And there were real tears that streamed down the faces of the twelve hard boiled surgeons as they sang Howard's Alma Mater to conclude the brief ceremony. In October, another twelve will go, and another twelve will come. Twenty-six old internes now practicing, twenty-six entering, the hospital records will show.
It is interesting to see what a wide territory these young doctors will cover. Dr. H. Waring will return to Connecticut to practice; Dr. C. Young, to Virginia; Drs. Bramwell and Harper will go to the British West Indies; Dr. "Pete" Chaney will go to New York; Drs. "Joe" Dodson, D. A. Butler, and Dr. Syphax will remain in D.C.; Dr "Joe" Gathings will go to Texas; Dr. Jefferson will practice in Ohio; and Dr. Thomas Cole will go to Chicago, Ill. All are graduates of the Howard Medical School, class of 1928.

Children and mothers numbering 151 were taken to Camp Pleasant, at Blue Plains, D.C., on Tuesday last for a two weeks free vacation as guests of the Summer Outing Committee, taking the places of the first party of campers who were all brought back that day well and happy, to their homes in the city.
It was a full day for Mrs. Laura B. Glenn, the camp superintendent, and her staff of workers. Mrs. Glenn reported that not a single member of the first party had asked to be taken home before the end of the first outing period and all were reluctant to say their goodbyes to camp. The capacity of the camp normally is about 140, but by extra efforts and close margins they were able to provide places for the increased number.
The new party of applicants for admission to Camp Pleasant assembled at the Briggs School, Twenty-first and E streets, northwest, Tuesday morning, for registration and examination under the supervision of Mrs. Ethel C. Williams, District visitor of the Associated Charities. Mrs. Williams was assisted by volunteers, as follows: Miss Ida Porter, Mrs. B. F. Petway, Miss Margaret Petway, Mrs. Rosa Lane Callis, Miss Edna V. Wedewick, Miss H. G. Francis, Mrs. George W. Cabanan, and Miss Elizabeth Wilkins.

WELL EDUCATED MINISTERS ARE VERY SCARCE
Physicians Should Help Negro Drug Stores and Other Race Enterprises
(Editor's note: Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, made a statement in Boston two weeks ago that it was necessary to stumble over twenty-five physicians in Washington before you could find a good one. This statement provoked a reply from Dr. J. A. Keene, corresponding secretary of the Medico Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia. Bishop Jones is herew answering the letter from Dr. Keene.) Since the Medical Society of the District of Columbia agrees to what I said in a talk in Boston, "That Washington is overcrowded with physicians," I have no further say on that score. I simply stated a fact. I thank the secretary of the society for confirming my statement; that ends that. Negro physicians including our own home talent would make the condition ideal, while the other one hundred would make just one hundred other much more

needy places, heavenly. I still contend that the surplus that "is remaining here for a few years" is badly needed in other fields. The pioneer Negro physician whose rugged energy, zeal, and adventure with the help of the Negro preacher, made this our foremost profession, went out and made contacts, built hospitals of their own however humble, and wrought gloriously under adverse circumstances, and it is the prayer of the race that more will follow in their work. "We are all still pioneers."
No Comparison
I do want to say, however, since the subject was mentioned that there is no comparison between our heroic Negro preachers and a graduate medical doctor. One has spent years in elementary schools, colleges and universities, while a large majority of our preachers never had the opportunity. They were building for this day. I affirm that there is not an over-crowding of trained schooled Negro preachers in any city in the Union. Wish to high heaven I could say otherwise. We need them badly in cities, but especially in rural sections where our best trained in all professions are most needed. All of our missionaries in all of our Negro churches thank God, in foreign fields are well trained.
The medical fraternity in the United States owes more to the Negro church and preacher than to any other single source. It was the uneducated Negro preacher at that who has helped most the educated Negro physician. He it was

Zion Church that first employed him. His church was his first platform of advertisement, and parishioners gave him his first professional bread. Old experienced eminent physicians in our own city like Dr. Curtis, Dr. Marshal and Dr. Wilder would never think of speaking discouragingly of a Negro preacher whatever might be the provocation and their pastors.

and their pastors. Our present day success in every field, excepting none, was born at the humble altars of men and women who had more and something far better than training; they had faith in God, in themselves and their offspring, courage and hope.
Let us not speak of the conscientious sacrificing inspired Negro preacher, only to honor him, for he has been and will continue to be the very salt of the Negro's earth. Let us all work together, for ours is a united enemy and where there is over-lapping in the church, remedy it as the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches are doing by fraternal agreement.
Where there is an over crowding of physicians, there is always a depreciation of efficiency. Where there is multiplicity of disagreeing, struggling experts resorting to unethical methods for a clientele and sideswashing each other's ability. there can be no worthwhile advancement.
Encourage them to go where they are most needed and thus build additions of wealth and service to our racial spirit of constructiveness. When we talk about competency let us all be careful in the face of a constantly ascending death rate and stubborn maladies. There is still a mighty work to do.
I plead to my race to help the Negro lawyer for racial consciousness has not fully reached him yet, and I implore our physicians to remember our colored drug stores that need the help of our entire group. Finally wherever there is congestion and huddling either in Negro business or professions let us scatter out, even Negro newspapers should not seek to crowd each other. Scatter out.
One of our largest problems and one to which we all should give our steady consideration is the problem of unemployment. In proportion as our trained professional men move out into new fields and create new demands this problem will be aided in a speedier solution.
What can be done for our young boys and girls graduating yearly from our city schools? Must they wander the earth seeking employment or is there any hope for them at home?

WOULD END JIM CROW SCHOOLS
CHICAGO, Ill.-Strife within the resolution committee of the American Federation of Teachers, assembled in the thirteenth annual convention was woreseen here as the outcome of resolutions prepared by the New York delegation, urging equality for white and colored pupils and teachers. Declaring that "Negro children and Negro teachers are the victims of gross discrimination in various parts of the American public school system," one resolution urges the immediate abolition of "Jim Crow" schools, equal school facilities for Negroes and whites, equal expenditures per child in American schools irrespective of race or color, equal pay for Negro and white teachers doing the same grade work, and selection and promotion of teachers on an equal basis irrespective of race or color.

At Highland Beach
ings in the community, Mr. Douglass still retains legal title to the waterfront, it is claimed. It is understood that in erecting the fence he acted in his capacity of a private citizen and owner of the land on which the fence stood, and not as town official. Douglass' act was variously interpreted by residents of the two villages as a direct affront to the residents of Venice Beach, as a sincere effort to aid the residents of Highland Beach in controlling social conditions within the town, and as an effort to segregate and stigmatize the Venice Beachers as undesirables.
Douglass Denies
Douglass, when interviewed, denied a desire to affront his neighbors. He stated that the two communities were in reality one village, with common interests and problems, and that in endeavoring to maintain the older community as a private summer colony he had received legal advice to the effect that some indications of the town's boundaries should be conspicuously placed where outsiders might see them.
According to Douglass, Highland Beach, like other shore resorts, is confronted by a constantly increasing throng of irresponsible persons who journey to the beach for week-ends, where some of them refuse to avail themselves of hotel facilities, preferring to dong bath suits in autos or in the shrubbery, and otherwise misconduct themselves. He stated that the town is endeavoring to regulate such practices, but is helpless if these elements can accomplish their purposes by stopping a few hundred feet up the beach beyond the corporation limits.
To Prevent Trespassing
Douglas disclaimed any intention of barring Venice Beach residents from the Highland Beach waterfront and stated that the barbed wire fence was intended to serve the same purpose as any other fence at any other place—to so indicate the limits of his property that outsiders might know when they were trespassing. Residents of Venice Beach, while acknowledging Douglass' right to erect fences on his property, contended that posts without wire would have served his purpose equally well, but that the stringing of barbed wire entanglements across the beach between the two communities constituted a menace to life and limb and was a premeditated effort to belittle and

brand them as undesirables. According to these citizens, such means of rendering Highland Beach exclusive are ludicrous as long as that town boasts not only a Y.W.C.A. camp, but two public hotels, the latter with a combined capacity of more than eighty rooms, where meals and lodging may be secured at any hour of the day or night by anyone possessing the price.
Dance Pavilion
The Venice Beachers alleged that a determined and insidious whispering campaign was being conducted to discredit their community and cited several incidents in support of their charge. Chief among these was the use of the community dancing pavilion soon to be erected in Highland Beach. It is understood that the construction of the pavilion was financed by proceeds from entertainments, bridge parties, raffles, and other money-making efforts. These efforts, according to the Venice Beachers, received their loyal support, the understanding being that all members of the communities would be entitled to use the pavilion. Recently, however, they allege, it has become known that no Venice Beach residents other than those who have been previously recognized as socially eligible will be welcome to the pavilion.
Court Action Hinted

ering and discord between the two communities. The matter, according to residents on both sides of the line, will not be settled definitely and finally without court action.
Although Douglass professed indifference as to the fate of his fence, claiming that his purpose had been accomplished by its erection, other residents of the town took a more serious view of the matter. Heated discussions, with hints of court litigation, the employment of spies and private detectives, and the ultimate invocation of the heavy hand of the law were indulged in by citizens, one of whom stated that the fence wreckers would be apprehended and brought to account for their deed before six months had elapsed.

AUTO RACES TO BE HELD IN AKRON
AUTO RACES TO BE HELD IN AKRON
AKRON, Ohio.—In the world's championship colored auto race of the 1929 season, to be held at the Akron-Cleveland Board Speedway, Sunday, July 14, with a 100-mile race to be known as the Emancipation Derby, Negro speed demons of all parts of the East and Middle West will vie with the racers of the West in their dash for the purses and the laurels that go with it.
One of the first colored auto race drivers to send in his entry is "Hasty" Hahn, of Pittsburgh, Pa., one of America's leading auto race stars, who has been the hero of many a tilt in the past couple of years and taking the speed throne from the racing stars that Pittsburgh and the district has produced in the past.
"Hasty" will drive an especially built mount of the latest mechanism and will be backed by one of the largest automobile dealers in the city of Pittsburgh. This boy has a large following in the steel section as he is known for his daring manner and his ability to come out of a crisis unharmed. As this is an annual affair at the Akron Speedway it is decided by the management to give each and every colored driver of any skill an opportunity to qualify. Many new stars are expected to be brought out this year for lately several of the speeders were lost to the game.
No basketball games will be allowed to be played in the Colonnade Colonnade next season, A. H. Lichtman, its owner, announced Monday.
He said then he is having the Colonnade made into one of the finest dance balls in the country, and when it is completed he will not want it damaged by the playing of basketball games in it. Revenue from the games, he stated, would not insult the damage that would be done to the floor.
Semi-professional and inter-fraternal basketball games have been staged in the Colonnade for the past three years since they were barred from the Murray Palace Casino. The basketball promoters will probably turn to the new Masonic Temple, Garry and Risher,
10,000 See Detroiter Win Hoosier Race KID CHOCOLATE WINS EASY DECISION OVER FERNANDEZ
Departmental OPE By W. C. Trayham
Rain which played such havoc during the first series, has again played an important part during the latter half. This coupled with numerous forfeits has caused the interest to lag, due in no way to the brand of ball played, but because players and fans alike are in a quandery as to when games will be played.
During the last two weeks only one game has taken place. All others being postponed due to inclement weather and forfeits being awarded to Navy Yard and Agriculture from Veterans' Bureau and Treasury.
Agriculture and Navy Yard are now tied for leadership with four wins and one defeat each, followed by G. P. O., with one less win. Veterans' Bureau and Treasury have failed to get in the win column to date.
Veterans' Bureau is the puzzle team of the League, presenting a strong defense and getting their share of hits, but they seem unable to hit in the pinch as numerous men left stranded on the paths will show. That explains somewhat why no wins are registered yet.
Agriculture and G. P. O. are about evenly matched, but the Printers' ability to trim the Aggres keep them up near the top.

Kid Chocolate Wins Ten Round Bout From Filipino; Fernandez Wilts Quickly
More Than Ten Thousand See Chocolate Fight Greatest Battle
GROGGY AT THE END
EBBETS FIELD, BROOKLYN, N.Y.—Kid Chocolate, the little Cuban Negro, fought his way to the top of the featherweight contenders last Wednesday night, when he administered a severe beating to Ignacio Fernandez, tough Filipino in a ten-round bout. Fernandez had a weight advantage, tipping the scales at 125 1-4 against Chocolate's 123. A crowd of more than ten thousand paid almost $35,000 to see Chocolate fight the greatest battle of his career, and leave the ring the leading challenger for Andre Routis' 124 pound crown. Chocolate dazzled the Filipino, who had conquered Al Singer, another contender, and went after him ferociously. His sensational attack won for him every one of the ten rounds and Fernandez was groggy and almost ready to topple over when the fight ended.
Fernandez received one of the worst lacings of any fighter in a New York ring this season. He was at all times completely at the mercy of the dusky little Cuban. He was only able to brace up a little in the third round, when he landed a stiff right to Chocolate's jaw and a left to the body. Even at that Chocolate won the round by a slight margin.
During the last five rounds Chocolate did everything but finish the Filipino. Fernandez rallied occasionally, but was unable to hurt the Cuban, who laughed at the blows rained on him. The Filipino weakened considerably, and just managed to remain standing until the final bell. Chocolate was awarded the decision.
It was a pitching duel between "Duck" of the Willow Trees, and Berry, of the Annacostians for some time, but "Duck" blew up in the eighth inning and Annacostia worked him for six runs, breaking a 1-1 deadlock, and winning out, 7-1.
Irvin Queen started out on the mound in the nightcap for the Juniors, but was yanked in the second in favor of P. McKenzie, who held his foes scoreless and only allowed four hits during the balance of the game.
"Ray" Brooks, the recruit catcher, was doing some fine backstopping.
DRIVES CENTURY IN 1:29.52 WITHOUT STOP Wiggins 2nd; Carson, 3rd ED. GRICE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN WRECK
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Before the largest crowd of fans to ever witness the annual championship auto race, Barney Anderson, driving a Two Port Frontenac speed chariot, flashed across the finish line to receive the checkered flag and cop the $1,200 first prize at the Indiana State Fair Grounds Speedway, last July 4. Barney drove one of the most beautiful races ever witnessed in this city, not stopping even once for oil, tires, gas, or anything else he might have thought he needed on his wild ride to fame and fortune. In the time trial he was beaten by three heavy foot masters, but in the main event, the thing that counted, he was not to be headed off, not to be passed and not to be denied what he sought. At ten miles Anderson was leading the field and was never headed off from then until he received the checkered flag.
Wiggins Gets Second
Charles Wiggins, a local boy, in a creation of his own brain, finished just three minutes and seven seconds behind the winner, to cop second money of $500. Bill Carson, of Chicago, whose well groomed mount failed him in the pinch and who relieved Bill James, who in turn had wheeled Bill Jeffries' Frontenac buggy around for three laps after the "Old Master" himself had come out of the race in the 54th lap, clipped off some pretty laps, some less than 50 seconds each, and was successful in finishing in third place.
Gaines Fourth
Wilbur Gaines, who arrived just in time for the race after a breakdown of his passenger car en route from Chicago, driving a Fronty-Ford, finished in fourth place. Bill Blackman, also from Chicago, was fifth, and Bugger Burns, Washington Court House, Ohio, was sixth.
Grice Badly Hurt
Edward Grice, Indianapolis, winner of third prize in the 1928 race, driving a Fronty-Ford at a sixty-mile rate per hour went into a skid on the northwest turn of the track while doing his 27th lap, closely behind William Walthall, and was thrown twenty feet into the air clear of his car, which turned over four times and smashed through the fence bordering the track.
Grice landed on his head, sustained a badly fractured skull and has only a fair chance for recovery at the city hospital where he was rushed after the accident.
SEVERAL ARE HURT IN BASEBALL RIOT
JERSEY CITY, N.J.—An argument between two baseball players at Montgomery Bowl here, Sunday afternoon precipitated a free-for-all fight in which several persons were injured. Two men were arrested. The fracas was quelled only after three detachments of police had been called. The trouble started when a Negro base runner accused the white second baseman, Charles Regenye, 22, of Bayonne, N.J., of fouling him as he slid into the base. Spectators, about evenly divided between whites and Negroes, rushed onto the field and began fighting. Regenye, struck in the stomach and the mouth with a baseball bat, was taken to the City Hospital. Sam Coleman, of Jersey City, a Negro spectator, was arrested as his assailant and held in $1,000 bail. James Mott, 21, of Jersey City, a white spectator, was arrested on a charge of attempted assault. Two Negroes were sought.

"Dick" Lundy, the peer of modern day shortstops, is also a turnaround batter, hitting as effectively from one side as from the other. "Spike" Spencer, formerly umpire in chief at the Black Sox Park at Baltimore, is now umpiring in the Departmental League of this city.

Howard Playground Has Tennis Tournament
One of the principal features of the week at the Howard Playground this week is the tennis tournament, held on the Howard tennis courts.
There are in reality two tournaments, one for boys under sixteen, and one for those from sixteen to eighteen. Thirty-two boys are entered in the former, while nineteen play in the latter.
Next week will feature the horseshoe tournament, conducted by a local newspaper. The boys are rounding themselves into shape, and many are practicing daily.
The swimming pool is operating, and a meet is scheduled for the first week in August. From six to nine in the morning, mixed bathing is allowed. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, only girls can go in after that time, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, only boys are allowed.
There is also a kindergarten group, taught by Miss Chandler. The group play games, listen to stories, and in the afternoon, are taught needle work and sewing.
"Chappie" Johnson, one time great catcher, has a penchant for developing catchers. Besides Ewing, first string catcher of the Homestead Grays, he has developed Lattimore, a second string catcher of the Baltimore Black Sox.

CONG. DE PRIEST FLAYS SOUTH IN OHIO SPEECH
SIX
CLEVELAND, O.—In his speech here last week, Oscar DePriest, Congressman from Chicago, Ill., charged the members of the Southern legislatures which recently passed resolutions centering Mrs. Herbert Hoover for inviting Mrs. DePriest to a White House tea with cowardice and hypocrisy. He spoke before 2,000 persons at a mass meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. "They are just a lot of cowards," the Illinois Congressman called the Southern legislators. "This is my country and your country. I have been elected to Congress the same as any other Congressman, and I am going to have the rights of every other Congressman—no more and no less—if it is in the Congressional barber shop or at a White House tea.
All Are Tinged
"However," he added, "all racial prejudice is not confined to any one party or to any one church. They are all tinged with it." Speaking on prohibition, the Congressman said, "The Government is preparing to spend millions for enforcement of the 18th Amendment. A few millions ought to be spent to enforce the 18th, 14th and 15th Amendments which guarantee the Negro his civil and political rights.
"I do not propose to vote to appropriate a penny to enforce the 18th Amendment until similar sums are voted to enforce these other amendments now being violated all over the South."
"Only in one respect will I insist favoring Negroes, and that is in my recommendations for appointments to West Point and Annapolis. As long as I am in Congress I will appoint only Negroes to those two schools, or until some white Congressman appoints a Negro.
Thanks Democrats
"I want to thank the Democrats of the South for one thing—they were so barbaric that they drove my parents to the North. If it had not been for that I would not be in Congress today.
"I have been jim crowed, segregated, persecuted, and I think I know how best the Negro can put a stop to being imposed upon. It is through the ballot, through organization, through fighting eternally for his rights."
His reference to "driving his parents to the North" goes back to his childhood in Florence, Ala. There he, a lad of 8 years, witnessed the lynching of three Negroes on one tree, near his home, after which his parents moved to Kansas and later to Chicago.
There was an overflow of more than a thousand people who could not get into the building where the Congressman spoke.
Harry McAlpin with N. B. L. I.
Harry S. McAlpin, who for over two years was connected with the Washington Tribune and the Murray Bros. Printing Co., has just been made Director of Conservation and Publicity in the National Benefit Life Insurance Co. Mr. McAlpin, who severed his connections with the Tribune and Murray Bros., the first part of May has spent two months studying insurance conditions on the field. He returned from Philadelphia, recently to assume his new duties of lapse prevention and good-will building for National Benefit. The organized work of conservation is a relatively new endeavor in the field of insurance, though the necessity for it has always existed. The National Benefit, in organizing such a department shows signs of keeping pace with the times.
The appointment of Mr. McAlpin to head this department is another step of the National Benefit toward infusing young blood and progressive ideas into the organization and making openings and opportunities for prepared and trained young men.
Mr. McAlpin a native of St. Louis, is a University of Wisconsin man.
Richard Chisholm, elevator operator in an apartment building near Thirteenth and M streets, northwest, was sentenced to serve 20 years in the penitentiary last Monday by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in the criminal division of the District Supreme Court on charges of breaking into the apartment of a young white woman and attempting to atta sk her.
Clarence Miller, 21-year-old white youth, who had pleaded guilty of an attempted criminal assault on a 14-year-old white girl, was given a five-year term in the penitentiary.
Chief Justice McCoy gave Chisholm a sentence of 5 years on the attempted assault charge and 15 years on a charge of housebreaking.
Chisholm was found guilty by a jury of entering the apartment of the young woman on the night of April 14. She testified that she was awakened when a robe was thrown over her head and her assailant told her to keep quiet. She screamed and struggled, knocking the telephone from the table. Her assailant fled but not before she recognized sufficiently to identify him later by his voice and clothes.

To Erect Tablet Commemorating Famous Slave Rescue Fight
CLEVELAND, Ohio.—Myron T. Herrick, late ambassador to France left $70,000 for the Herrick Public Library at Wellington, Ohio, which Mr. Herrick established as a memorial to his father and mother. He requested in his will that suitable tablet be erected on the exterior of the building to recall that it was the site of the slave rescue in 1858, which resulted in the famous Oberlin-Wellington rescue case.
This case grew out of Oberlin being a station of the Underground Railway and an important centre of anti-slavery sentiment. In September, 1858, a runaway slave by the name of Littlejohn, was caught in the village of Oberlin by a United States marshal, who started to Cleveland with him. But, a number of men led by Professor Henry Everard Peck, of Oberlin College, overtook the marshal at Wellington and took Littlejohn away from him. Several of the rescuers were arrested and imprisoned in Cleveland for several months. It was a long drawn out case, becoming famous as a fugitive slave case. And Mr. Herrick wished to perpetuate the memory of the brave man who rescued Littlejohn on the ground where the Herrick Library now stands.
INJURED IN FALL
FROM HORSE
Joseph Prather, 37 years old, a farmer, was brought to Freedmen's Hospital from Gaithersburg, Md., with a dislocated right shoulder, the result of being thrown from a horse. The horse, according to Mr. Prather, suddenly went crazy from the heat. He tried to run away, and the farmer grabbed him, throwing himself astride the horse's back and attempted to subdue him. Instead of listening to his master's supplications, however, the beast threw the man across the field, where he landed is a ditch with a dislocation of the right shoulder. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. W. C. Johnson, specialist orthopedic surgeon, and his assistant, Dr. Geo. Martin.
Bill Robinson Headlines
Vaudeville Bill
BROOKLYN, N.Y.—Bill Robinson, now playing here in the Albee Theatre, headlined the entire vaudeville bill and went over bigger than any of the other acts on the program.
Bill ran away with the bill long before he went into his specialty, the stair tap. He showed them everything there is to know about the taps, spilled a few gags between hoofing, and mopped up applause without a struggle.
The audiences wouldn't let him depart before he enclosed with "Low Down," and the skating dance. Even after that he was called back, and made a brief curtain speech.
MINISTER SPEAKS ON RACE PREJUDICE
At the services of Lincoln Congregational Temple, Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks began a series of sermons on Jesus and the Problems of Life. The first of the series was "Jesus and Race Prejudice."

ROBT. L. VANN MAY GET DEPT. OF JUSTICE JOB
Vacancy Caused by Retirement of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt
Appointment of Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, as an assistant attorney general of the United States is being seriously considered by President Herbert Hoover and Attorney General William D. Mitchell, according to reliable reports.
There is only one assistant attorney generalship vacant in the Department of Justice at the present time. That vacancy was caused by the resignation of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. She had charge of prohibition enforcement work. Mr. Vann could be appointed to that vacancy and given any assignment that the Attorney General may see fit to make.
Only one colored ma. has served as an assistant attorney general. He is William H. Lewis, of Boston, who served with distinction under the Taft administration. Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, was a special assistant to the Attorney General at a salary of $6,400. He resigned following his acquittal by a jury in the United States court at Meridian, Miss., on a charge of bartering Federal patronage. There is only one colored attorney in the Department of Justice now. He is Louis R. Mehlinger, who rose from a clerkship.

"LIZZIE WEST" KNIFES AND CURSES MAN
Quietly resting in his room in his home at 6 Freeman's Court, northwest, was not at all a safe and pleasant luxury for George Edmonds, age 40, last Sunday evening, July 7.
Edmonds, a cement worker in Brightwood, D.C., was rushed to Freedmen's hospital about 6 o'clock Sunday evening with blood gushing from a stab wound in his side.
He told police that he had been sitting quietly at home in his room, when Lizzie West, address unknown, walked in his room, cursed him and then stabbed him in the side.
The woman fled, but was later apprehended by Policeman Gulbrontier.
Edmond's cries brought Melsshame Davis to the scene, who rushed the injured man to Freed-

Jerk of Car at Seventh and T Streets Throws Woman to Floor
The turning of a street car at the junction of Seventh and Florida avenue, northwest, was responsible for the sudden illness of Mrs. Virginia McGee, of 1836 Second street, northwest, Sunday afternoon, July 7. According to Mrs. McGee, the swerving of the car, in which she was standing, caused her to lose balance and fall to the floor painfully but not seriously injuring her in the chest and side. She was carried to the hospital by two passengers on the car, where she was treated for bruises about the shoulder, side, and chest, and nervousness.

Irvin Miller Heads Florence Mills Memorial Society
SOCIETY TO BUILD HOME FOR ACTORS
TO HAVE ACTORS' LIBRARY
At a regular meeting of the Drummers Club, of New York, members of the Florence Mills Memorial Association met and elected Irving Miller a member of the body. Miller has expressed the wish that the association should push on and achieve the goal set before them shortly after the death of the beloved actress for whom the society was named.
Mr. Miller's many years of experience in the show field, both as an actor and producer, to say nothing of his fine education, is well fitted to undertake the position. He is among the most successful of all the present day producers, and is in great demand in the business.
The object of the association is the establishment of a memorial to Florence Mills. This memorial will take the form of an actor's home, where talent will be cultivated and improvements will be stimulated. It will also serve to bring out a more harmonious spirit of co-operation among members of the profession.
They will also seek to establish a library, where books relating to art and theatrical work will be the history of the Negro theatre posited. Especially among these will be featured books relating to and its worthy achievements.

His voice, with its reputation gained through a year and one-half with "Show Boat" carries him along through a trio of numbers, but none of the audiences are content until they have heard "Old Man River," the song that made him famous.

When Judge Helander called for Harrington, who is a husky bass-voiced guy, a shrill little voice piped: "Here!." The voice was dragged in front and turned out to be James Galligan, just a good friend.

N.A.A.C.P. STOPS SEGREGATION IN THEATRE
BAYONNE, N.J.—The Bayonne Branch of the N.A.A.C.P., has won a far-reaching fight against racial discrimination, according to Dr. George L. Johnson, president of the Bayonne branch.
Three months ago the largest and most modern theatre in the city instituted a policy of directing colored patrons to the balcony. Some prominent colored citizens were refused orchestra seats on the time-worn alibi that they were "all sold out." Others were directed up-stairs with orchestra tickets, only to find that there were plenty of vacant seats downstairs. The Bayonne Branch took up the fight. Reprints of the New Jersey Civil Rights Law were made and distributed through the co-operation of the local churches. The people were told to "Know the law—know their rights—and then stand up for them!"
A conference was arranged with the manager of the theatre by a committee representing the branch. They advised that the Bayonne Branch was giving the theatre the first opportunity to stop the policy before exposing its unfairness before the entire city. In his reply the manager attempted to deny that he had in-

Navy Beats Treasury In Slugfest, 20 to 10
Opening up a heavy hitting attack with their long range guns Navy made merry at the expense of Treasury and won easily 20-10 in an erratic, loosely played, free hitting game.
Under a big lead at the expense of Moten, Pleasant let up, granting light hits netting ten runs. Reed pitched the last inning and breezed three.
Moten, after being relieved by Cole, made another attempt on the mound, but proved no puzzle to the Navy sharp shooters.
stituted a policy based upon racial discrimination, but claimed that it was based upon "proper attire." He admitted that some of his employees had become too officious and that they had been discharged, and assured the Bayonne Branch that he would exert his influence to keep any policy of racial discrimination out of the theatre in the future.
Hampton Eleven Faces
Tough Schedule
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The Hampton football eleven which won the 1928 C.I.A.A. championship will have to hurdle even more difficult obstacles this fall to annex a pennant.
The 1929 football schedule for the Blue and White is one of the most impressive ever arranged for a Hampton eleven. Captain Byrd and Duke Baker, Hampton's reliable punter, will be lost to the team next year.
These and other gaps will have to be filled, but the Hampton coaching staff with Gideon E. Smith at the helm will be able to weld together another machine that will have to be reckoned with. The schedule will be as follows:
Oct. 5—Howard University at Hampton.
Oct. 12—St. Paul at Hampton.
Oct. 19—Petersburg at Hampton.
Oct. 26—not settled.
Nov. 2—Lincoln in New York Polo Grounds.

Arthur A. Greene, physical director of the Washington colored Y.M.C.A., has just been appointed general manager of the colored tournaments in the Star's horseshoe pitching carnival.
Greene, whose plans for a horseshoe tournament were well under way when the Star's was announced, will give aid in the organization of the out-of-town end of the carnival.
He has been promised the cooperation of many of the leading colored organizations, including the professional men's class, Elks, Huntradena Club, Odd Fellows, Masons, American Woodmen, the Rareback Horseshoe Club, Census Clerks, American Legion, Firemen's Association, Patent Office Clerks, National Benefit Life In-

surance Company, and the Arrow Athletic Club. The colored playgrounds here have been grouped into four divisions, each of which will qualify one contestant for the district finals. The district winners will meet to decide the sectional winner, and the sectional winner for the championship. The Howard Division includes the Howard, Bruce, Garnet and Shaw playgrounds; the Rose Park division, the Rose Park, Briggs, Magruder, and Cook playgrounds; the Willow Tree division, the Willow Tree, Cardozo, Sixth and L Street, Logan, and Payne playgrounds; and the Eastern division, the Deanwood, Garfield, Crummell, Lovejoy, Smothers, and Barry Farms playgrounds.
Mr. Greene is adding several out-of-town units to this array. Paul Stevens, prodigial son, shortstop of the American Negro League, is again the property of the Clan Darbie. He does his best work when playing at the Hilldale park.
The infield of the Kansas City Monarchs vies with the St. Louis Stars' inner works as the most effective defensive combination in the Negro National League.

THEATRE; CLOSED
The Howard Theatre closed on Sunday night for the summer, ending one of the most successful seasons this playhouse has enjoyed as one of the Lightman theatres.
Extensive repairs will be made through the house, from dressing rooms to lobby, A. E. Lichtman, managing director of the Lichtman theatres, announced Monday. He said that he had not definitely decided upon the repairs and redecorations, but that the house would undergo a thorough reconditioning. Sound picture apparatus may be installed.
The Howard will remain closed not less than six weeks, depending upon the time that will be needed to complete the repairs and redecorations. It is probable that the theatre will not re-open until Labor Day.
The policy of the Howard when it re-openes has not been decided upon, said Mr. Lichtman. Stage presentations with a master of ceremonies may be continued, he stated, but changes in the amusement world occur so rapidly that he does not believe it wise to decide too early the policy that will be followed next season.

IN MEMORIAM
JONES, Ernestine B.—In loving memory of our dear daughter, Ernestine B. Jones, who departed this life two years ago today, July 14, 1927.
Her cheery smiles and kindly ways Are pleasant to recall;
She had a smile for every one, And died beloved by all.
From her Father, Mother and Sister.
IN MEMORIAM
HOPKINS.—In loving memory of my dear husband, Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, who entered into eternal rest July 15, 1927.
Only a memory of days gone by, And a sigh for a face unseen, But a constant feeling that God alone
Knows just what should have been.
He knew just how I'd miss you,
And so from my heart He drew
a tiny speck of your dear love
And sprinkled it with dew.
Then He hung it in the heavens,
A guiding star at night,
For I see it there, my beloved,
And love to watch its light;
For I know your heart is with me,
And mine is with you too.
Loving you always, sweetheart,
Through a sky of midnight blue.
Devoted wife,
Margie B. Wilson-Hopkins.

MAKES AN APPEAL
theONShrdl ucmfwy p shrdl c
Representative DePriest, of Illinois, a present day member of Congress, is deeply interested in the young people of his (our) race. He has placed a youth in West Point Military Academy, and although his candidate for the Naval Academy failed to enter that institution because of his eyes, Mr. DePriest intends to appoint another Negro youth to that institution.
Too, Mr. DePriest wants every Negro grown-up and child to learn the contents of, and to understand what our national Constitution is about.
Mr. DePriest's letter speaks for itself:

"Mr. C. Leslie Frazier,
920 U St., N.W.

"My dear friend: I find a publication here known as Senate Document No. 112, which presents the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, with the amendments thereto. As there was no supply on hand, I have ordered personally, at my own expense 10,000 copies for dissemination among our people and am enclosing you one of the documents. The Constitution is the fundamental law of the land, and the one concrete expression on which all laws are predicated. "I am very anxious that those of my racial group should be better acquainted with the Constitution and thereby more clearly understand their rights. There are several States of the Union that base their suffrage upon ability to read and interpret the Constitution.
"Wishing to carry on a campaign of education on the Constitution, I am writing to ask your cooperation in getting this matter before churches, schools and societies of every description, with which you are associated.
"If you can consistently do so will you have the people read and discuss the constitution and the amendments thereto, section by section, until they become thoroughly acquainted with it? As loyal American citizens we owe allegiance to the laws of our country and should know the contents of this document in order that we may protect our rights accordingly. When one understands the Constitution he or she will be in a position to ask his or her congressional candidate for support of every section and every amendment to the Constitution. Those candidates who are not willing to do so should not be elected to office; those who are willing to do so should be earnestly supported and elected.
"Very respectfully yours,
Oscar DePriest, M.C."
If you do not have a copy of the Constitution you may borrow copies at both libraries, or by ad-

35 MEN REPORT TO H. U.'s SPECIAL R.O. T.C. CAMP IN VA.
On Monday, July 1, thirty-five Reserved Officers' Training Corps cadets reported to Camp Hunt, Virginia, for six weeks of practical drill. Of this number, twenty-eight are Howard men, of whom over a dozen are native Washingtonians, while the other six are: one from the College of the City of New York, and five from Wilberforce University. This camp, which is located on the banks of the Potomac River, 15 miles below Washington, was established as a permanent home for Howard University's R.O.T.C.

The camp rests on a high hill across the harbor from Fort Washington, overlooking the hills for miles around. The tents are pitched behind the obsolete stone foundation of Fort Hunt, which is now equipped as a rifle range. The fort, to all appearance, was destroyed by fire and now only the bare cement base remains.

It further pays the cadets 30c per day during their last two years at college, besides their railroad fare from their homes to and from camp. The 30c is a rations fee.
George Beason Stricken
The Government has for sometime been trying to establish a permanent home for the Howard University unit. Though it is argued by the majority of cadets that the summer practice, required of all four-year R.O.T.C. men is a help to the men, in as much as it gives them a taste of the rigors of real army life, it is contended by others that the money lost in the six-week period more than offsets the advantages of camp.
