The Howard University Controversy Waxing Warm
ARCHITECT DENIES DELAY CHARGED BY PRESIDENT
Cassell Also Denies "Make Good" Charge of

CAPITAL WEEKLY
ARCHITECT DENIES DELAY CHARGED BY PRESIDENT
Cassell Also Denies "Make Good" Charge of President
It was reported in these columns last week that the "storm clouds" at Howard University are not even a gentle puff, and Albert I. Cassell, university architect, is not to be ousted. At the time of these statements the Tribune staff correspondent was relying upon information gotten at the office of the president of Howard University. However, subsequent to this interview, the trustee board announces the appointment of Mr. Hope, not as university architect, but as superintendent of buildings and grounds.
In the report of last week, it was further stated that the change in this connection was due to the desire on the part of the university to speed up the work of the building program. The office of the president in this connection gives out the following statement in justification of this policy on the part of the trustee board: "The appropriations are available for three buildings, but the plans have not been completed nor the contracts let for either of them, which buildings are to be erected on land now vacant and available, and could be erected tomorrow."
The office of the university architect, however, denies that any delay in the building program is due to any backwardness on the part of that department whatsoever, and stated that if there be any delay it is due to the fact that while appropriations have been made for certain buildings, in some instances such appropriations are inadequate; and in other instances the appropriation, while having been approved by the Bureau Budget, has not been actually made available to the university's use; and stated further that for further reasons that the locations in the building program for which money is to be given have not been definitely decided upon and would require the removal of other buildings now housing necessary activities of the university
In these columns last week, through information gotten from the president's office of Howard University, it was stated that the trustee board had determined that Eugene Gough, head junior, actually did the work for which he was paid. This work being done for his son, whose name was carried on the university pay-roll. The original controversy in this connection seemed to have grown out of the fact that Mr. Cassell, university architect and head of the department of maintenance, had reported that Mr. Gough had illegally signed the payroll on two different occasions and had drawn the pay carried on said payroll in the name of his son, while as a matter of fact, Mr. Cassell further charged that his son was out of the city. And that on a third occasion the son signed the payroll, it being charged that he did not perform any services for such money so received.
As to this phase of the controversy when asked if Gough did illegally sign the rolls, the president of the university explained by saying, "You will have to get that information from the secretary-treasurer's office."
On the other hand, it is understood that the office of the architect and superintendent of grounds still contends that the real issue has never been fully answered to the public, and that Mr. Gough did illegally sign the said payrolls above referred to.
The president further stated in an interview that the department of maintenance did not come under the Interior Department, and therefore any suggestion to the effect that the Interior Department had or would interfere in the matter is erroneous. In our staff correspondent's report for last week the following paragraph appeared: "Several expenditures over allotments also brought to the attention of the board; this was called to the attention of Mr. Cassell, and he was warned. On one project he made good the sum of five hundred dollars which was over the allotment."
A further investigation of your correspondent into this statement also reveals a controversial point between the president of the university and the university architect. The university architect, in an interview, stated that the above referred to five hundred dollars was a sum advanced by him personally for which he holds a can (Continued on page 9)

FITTING TRIBUTE PAID TO MEMORY OF ROSENWALD
Meeting at Lincoln Temple Addressed by Wilkinson, Johnson, Simon & Hueston
A fitting tribute was paid to the memory of the late Julius Rosenwald, great philanthropist, who recently died in Chicago, at the memorial exercises held under the auspices of the Rosenwald Memorial Committee at the Lincoln Congregational Temple, Monday night. Bishop E. D. W. Jones presided and addresses were made by Garnet C. Wilkinson, Dr. E. E. Just, Rabbi Abram Simon, W. C. Hueston, Congressman Oscar DePrist, and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson. Mr. Wilkinson gave an expression of appreciation for the raising of the educational standard of America by Rosenwald's philanthropy in the organization of 5,756 rural schools in 14 Southern States which have benefited over 600,000 Negro youths. An expression of gratitude for the "opportunities" Mr. Rosenwald made possible in the field of scientific research was made by Dr. Just.
Comparing the spirit of Rosenwald with that of Abraham Lincoln, both of whom were natives of Springfield, Ill., Rabbi Simon declared that the late philanthropist was "so imbued with the atmosphere and reared under the aura of Lincoln that he realized his ideal of justice, mercy and humility." Rabbi Simon pointed out that Rosenwald's theory was that each eration should have its philanthropists from one of its own generation.
Attorney Hueston illustrated the fact that Rosenwald had challenged all men to be above their prejudices in affording opportunity to all. This idea was enlarged upon (Continued on page two)
MILTON GUY TO GET NEW TRIAL IN YORK CASE
MILTON GUY TO GET NEW TRIAL IN YORK CASE
The Death Sentence of Jno Borum and John Logan To Stand
Milton Guy one of the three men convicted of murdering Lamar Watson York, white prohibition agent, in Brooks court, northwest, April 12, 1930, will be given a new trial, while the convictions of the other two men, John Borum and John Logan will stand, the District Court of Appeals ruled Monday. The court ordered a new trial for Guy on the grounds that there was no testimony connecting Guy with the shooting, with the exception of a statement by Borum. Guy was said to have been talking to the dry agent when the other two men entered the alley.
The Court of Appeals sent the case to the United States Supreme Court for a decision as to the consistency of a verdict which found all three men not guilty of actually firing the shot that killed York, and then found all the three guilty collectively. The highest court ruled a verdict did not have to be consistent: that each count of an indictment stood as though it was a separate indictment. This point was raised by Attorney Peter Richardson, counsel; for the three men.

ATTY. RICHARDSON SUED FOR $1,194 BY RHODY MCCOY
Terrel Case on Trial Charging Attorney With False Pretense
Rhody "Roy" McCoy, 439 New Jersey avenue, northwest, file papers in District Supreme Court Saturday, suing Attorney Peter D. Richardson, with offices in the Masonic Temple Building, for the sum of $1,194, the larger amount of which McCoy alleges was given to Richardson to invest for him.
The bill alleges that the sum of $1,109 was given Richardson by McCoy to invest with the understanding that the profit from the investment would be split between them on an equal basis. McCoy further claims that Richardson has not only failed to pay him any of the profits but has refused to return to him the principal. sum.
The $85 balance of the amount sued for, McCoy claims, is the remainder of an amount due him as the result of a real estate investment on property on Gresham place northwest. The declaration was filed by Attorneys Howard and Hayes.
The major portion of the sum of money is said to have been the money which was lent to Albert Brooks on the property of his sister, Mrs. Alberta Terrell.
The case against Attorney Richardson, on charges of false pretenses was being aired in the District Supreme Court. Wednesday and yesterday, Richardson was defending himself.
Paper Signed
The first witness to take the stand on the opening of the trial was Mrs. Alberta Terrell who told the court that Attorney Richardson presented to her for signature on December 31, 1930 papers which she believed to be a deed of trust but later found out to be a deed transferring a piece of property in the 2400 block of M street, northwest, to the lawyer, Richardson is alleged to have borrowed a sum of $15,000 on the property.
Mrs. Terrell's husband, Mr. William H. Terrell, brother of the late Judge Robert Terrell, followed her on the stand. Mr. Terrell told the court of the circumstances which led him to the discovery of the alleged misrepresentation. Last Sept-mber when he paid taxes on the property in question he found that the property was listed in the name of Attorney Richardson. He consulted Joseph T. Holland, real estate dealer of the 1900 block of Seventh street, northwest, as to whether it was necessary to transfer: the ownership of property when one had secured a deed of trust on it. After being informed that this was not necessary, Mr. Terrell called on Attorney Richardson whom Mr. Terrell declared on the stand refused to talk to him, only in private. The matter was then put in the hands of the District Attorney's office.
Albert Brooks, brother of Mrs. Terrell, followed Mr. Terrell on the stand and during his testimony, the case was adjourned until the next day.

COLORED-WHITE BOARD MEMBERS SPLIT ON ISSUE
Gilligan Flayed For Attitude in Favoring Whites' Protest
A question of color sharply divided the members of the Board of Education Wednesday, when all three of the colored members voted against a resolution introduced by Henry Gilligan, board member, that the board ask the District, Commissioners to defer action in acquiring any more land for schools following a protest of white groups against the erection of a colored school at Rock Creek Road and Allison St. All five of the white members present voted for the resolution, Daniel C. Roper, white, was the only member not present at the meeting.
WHITES PROTEST
A group of over 100 white residents comprising various churches, associations and organizations were in attendance at the meeting to protest against the proposed erection of the school. Arthur W. Cline, white was spokesman for the group. He outlined what purported to be a survey of the locality in which he attempted to show that there were only thirty-seven colored children of school age in the district. Dr. Frank W. Ballon superintendent of schools denied the allegation and pointed out that a recent survey by school officials revealed that there were about 100 children of school age in the vicinity of the proposed school. Dr. Ballou said figures submitted by Mr. Cline were from a map made in 1927 and doot reveal true conditions in the section at the present time.
FURTHER STUDY PROJECT
At the suggestion of Dr. J. Hayden
Johnson the board agreed to have
school officers to further study the situa-
tion and take the matter up at another
meeting. Dr. F. I. A. Bennett protested
a demonstration by the white group
when they applauded a statement by
one of their members that a real estate
firm had bought up a large piece of
property on which colored lived and
would erect homes for whites.
Mrs. Mary McNeill took issue with
Mr. Cline when he stated that he had
the interest of the citizens of Wash-
ton and the capital in seeking to pre-
vent the school from being built. Mrs.
McNeill asker the spoken, "When you
say all the citizens, you mean white
only?" Mr. Cline denied he meant
whites only in reference to his concern
for the city, Mrs. McNeill also said
she thought the matter was a problem
of real estate rath than education.
GILLIGAN PLAYED
In an interview with school officers after the meeting several told the *Tribune* that Mr. Gilligan seemed unduly antagonistic towards colored persons in certain matters that have come before the board in reference to adjusting school problems where whites were concerned They said the board was interested in meeting the educational needs of the community rather than settling real estate problems.

Miles Memorial C. M. E.

At the evening service the Missionary Society presented a program. A pre-Easter crusade for increased attendance and enrollment will be inaugurated in the Sunday School during the month of February.

One of the most interesting and promising clubs, among the young people, is the Bishop Cleaves Girls Club. Sunday the Sacrament of the Holy Communion will be observed at the morning worship.
The Sunshine Circle
"The Sunshine Circle" of Shiloh Baptist Church, is truly the talk of the city. It is an organization which is composed of young people whose ages range from 14 to 20. The central purpose of the young people through activities of Sunshine Circle is to socialize the interest which contribute to the development of strong, Christian manhood and womanhood, spiritually, mentally and physically, some of these constructive agencies are as follows: Art club, baseball, basketball, choruses, debating, dramatics, Entertainments, golf, hiking club, orchestra, quartets, reading. Red Cross (first aid), Shiloh Honor Society, Shiloh Pep Club, Sight seeing, skating, swimming, tennis, A Young People's Round Table Circle
All of these in a large measure take the place of those many alluring, degrading activities of wickedness which continually destroy the precious, potent God-given energy of modern youth. At the same time the Sunshine Circle is seeking to stimulate that same new spirit of the inner self which fired the beasts of our noble Christian pioneers. The spirit of Christian efficiency and service, the spirit of brotherhood and God's great love which transends the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and the spirit of social consciousness and morality. The Sunshine Circle offers a field for self expression and vocational guidance.

Lack of Witnesses Causes Continuance of Phillips' Murder Trial
ST. LOUIS, Mo., (ANP)—Citizens of all walks of life, for the second time jammed themselves in the spacious courtroom of Division 12 of the Circuit Court last Monday, eager to hear the State testimony against George McFarland and August Brooks, confessed slayers of Homer G. Phillips, attorney and politician of national reputation.
Failure of important state witnesses to appear necessitated a continuance of the case until February 15.
Attorney Phillips, declared St. Louis "most useful citizen" was wontally murdered on the morning of June 16, last year, in the shadow of his home, while waiting for a street car to take him to his downtown office.
Method To Insure Action
Method To Insure Action
To prevent dropping of felony cases such as that involving the death of Phillips, and, because the prosecuting witnesses either thru intimidation or outside arrangements, refuse to continue prosecution, Circuit Attorney Miller has devised a warrant office command, which will be put in use by the police beginning February 1.

On Tuesday, January 26 at 8:15 o'clock, the February graduating class held its Class Night Exercises.
The Salutation was given by James Beverly Mitchell. Anna Corrine Mason rendered a vocal solo, "Calm As The Night," which was followed by the Class History read by Mildred Annett Logan. The Class Will was read by Nannette Eleanor Keys and the future of the class was foretold by Theresa Helen White.
Montrose Dunlap, president of the class presented the school with two books as a parting token from the class. G. David Houston the principal, accepted the books on behalf of the school and made a brief farewell address to the class.
Anna Corrine Mason presented a gift to each member of the class with an appropriate message to each. Vera Beatrice Watts, whose brilliant record won for her the valdictory honor, delivered her address which was received with much applause. The exercises closed with the class song composed by Evelyn Thomas and Joseph Milton Dorsey.
On Wednesday, January 27, the students and teachers enjoyed hearing Mme. Fannie Belle DeKnight, a teacher and actress, tell of her colorful career. Forty-five years ago she began her teaching activities which ended in 1927 when David Belasc called her to the stage. Mme DeKnight related some experiences which she encountered while traveling both in America and Europe. Again, she told of the roles which she played in the following picture and stage productions: "Hallelujah," "Lulu Belle," and "The House of Connelley." Concerning "Hallelujah," it is interesting to remark that Lon Chaney once enumerated the five pictures which he enjoyed most. One of these was "Hallelujah," and the particular scene mentioned was the one where the mammy sang the babies to sleep. Mme DeKnight was the mammy.
In conclusion, she urged the students to seek a vocation in which they were interested, to work hard, to develop character, and success would be inevitable.
Twenty girls' sections participated in the intersection volley ball game. Semi-finals were played to secure class champion section. Finals were played between the inter-class games which Section D6 won. Miss Marjorie Scott is the student athletic advisor and Mrs. K. J. Lane is the section teacher.
The champion section, of the Freshman class is C2; of the Sophon ore class, I3; of the Junior class, D6; and the Senior class, C7; final champion section, D6. The girls in the champion section are: Arnetta West, Grace Wallace, Majorie Scott, Rachel Arm-

When sailors depart the peace of
the fold,
No power remains to retrace
miles-steps.
The derelict wrecks on the com-
back rail;
The frigid gales of the unbeaten
truck;
Repeat the refrain, "The never come back."
Yet said there a man in the long agb.
Whose teachings on life encircle the earth:
CREOM
FOR THE COUGH OR
BABY
FRETFUL,
And purity glean from sepul-
chral dearth,
The sinneth a man oft as sparks
andend,
I bid him return and give me his
tweak
And I'll pilot him to his journey's
end."
Who now will dare say, "They
never come back"?
Friend, I'm coming back tho long
is the road.
And stern the trials twixt here
and my goal.
I've sheeled myself to the heft of
the load;
I've hardened my heart—I have cleaned my soul.
I'm on the march now, my vision is clear.
My armor's complete, the pace
I'm not slack;
I'm bound to succeed; so, I'm
coming back.
The meeting on the Lovejoy Parent Teachers Association held at the school Thursday was featured by several playlets given by the pupils of Lovejoy.

Another playlet, "The Spirit of Progress" was given by members of the 8B class. Other musical renditions were given by Vermell Powell, member of the Seventh Grade and French Class, which gave several selections in French under the direction of Miss D. E. Davis.
CAST CHILDREN
Remarks were given by Supervising Principal J. C. Bruce.
AIR CASTLES
By Louis Dozier (12)
We search and search
For things so fair;
But, behold! All our dreams
Are made of air.
We dream and think,
And wonder why
Our castles burst
Like mist in the sky.
Oh, why; Oh, why,
Don't we children of men,
When our castles break down,
Build them back up again?
No, we are discouraged,
And we nearly cry,
When all of our castles
Like mist in the sky.
Go! Go! Build your castles,
This time of stone,
So that fear, sorrow, darkness
Cannot knock them down.
Our castles break down—
Build them back up again

I am master of my tongue
Care and diligence bring success.

Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Kind words do not wear out the tongue.
Unless we sow we shall not reap.
A thing worth doing is worth doing well.
Old friends are best.
All mischief comes from idleness.
Some days must dark and dreary be.
No one can disgrace me but myself.

UNION PANTHERS

RICHMOND, Va.—The Virginie
Union University court squad rat
roughshod over the St. Paul Insti-
tate five to the tune of 34-26.
Union kept the lead throughout
the enire playing period, the sears
at the end of the first half being
19-9 in favor of Union.
‘The Union basketeers functioned
as a unit; there was little individu-
al action. A smooth, clean, aggres-
sive game characterized their play.
The guarding of Keller, the shoot-
ing of Stackhouse, the footwork of
Carey, the passing game of Yan-
cey, the center jumping tacties of
Miller, all contributed to the preci-
sion activity of the Richmond unit.
Coach Robinson's St. Paul boys
showed themselves to be real fight-
ers—a scrappy aggregation, But-
ler, ‘a left-hander, had a keen eye
and found the basket for ome
beautiful long-range shots. Ben-
ton’s floor-work attracted favora-
ble notice and it was Caldwell who
set the pace in the first few mi-
nutes following the opening of the
game.
In the preliminary game—Senior
Class versus Sophomore Class—
the Senior aggregation Somrcned
of Henderson Forrester Washing-
ton Kersey J. Williams, and Aris-
tead piled up nineteen pointe t¢
win the inter-mural basketball
championship by the score of 19-5.
Previous to this date the Seniors
defeated the Juniors, while the
Sophomore’s took the Freshman

Smith's peppy ‘basketeers camght
the jump on the Hampton Imsti-
tute loopsters here Thursday might
and won a thrilling and hard
fought game by the seore of 27 to
24.
‘The Smith cagers took the lead
at the very outset of the game and
at no time during the game did
they" relinquish it, Although the
Hamptonians threatened to take
the lead time and again onky to
find the Smith defense impregna-
ble in the pinches.
Hampton presented one of the
greatest defensive fronts ever seen
here, but the Johnson C. Smith
offense was in rare form ang broke
through at opportune times to
score on sensational shots by Mat-
thews, Robinson, Dudley, and
Houston,
Matthews started the
Doatitiee with 6 sensational beat
handed throw from the very cemter
of the court for a basket, This was
the most beautiful shot of, the
night. J. William’s free throw
placed Hampton in the scoring ¢dl-
umn. Smith led in the scoring
throughout the first half, but never
led by more than a one point
gin. ‘The score for the frat elf
stood: Smith 11, Hampton, 10,
The second half was just ahout
a replica of the first half, neither
team letting up an inch. The beil-
liant guarding of Captain Carter
and Scott of Hampton kept the
score down.
The pone was s_zather rough
tilt both teams seeming over an-
xicus to win. The guards would
leap high into, the air to block pa
ses making the game as ex
as a thrilling football encounter.
Mathews and Robinson on the
offense, and Corbin, Christian and
Captain Dudley on the defepse
starred for Smith. Carter, Seott
and J. Williems played great all
around ball for Hampton.
Mathews led the ene the
night with 8 points, and Robineon
was runner-up with 7 points.

The high school basketeers are
ready to resume action this week,
and several of the conference
teams have a real purpose in view
for the immediate future. The
fast stepping Ho~ard boys jolted
Douglass and they registered for
the first time this season in the
Jost column, Dunbar eked out a
one point victory to tally for the
first time this season in the con-
ence series. The downfal: of the
Ducks and the Clerks have added
iutensely to the intere: in the race
for championship honors.
Armstrong has its collective eye
set on a second straight champion-
ship. The Generals have broken
even in two conference tilts. There
is a strong feeling that Armstrong
will take Douglass into camp when
they meet Wednesday in Balti-
mor- Their first meeting was
characterized as a close guarding
affar. Douglass caged three goals
from the floor and Armstrong
chalked up two. Out of 33 fouls
committed by both teams, Arm.
strong collected 8, and Douglass
collected 8 of their free throw at-
tempts.

Howard has lost one of their
four conference games so far and
the statisticians in Wilmington in-
sist that the conference title will
be on by a team with one or more
defeats this year.

Cardozo entertains Howard on
‘their home court in Washington,
Three weeks ago Howard was vic-
tor with a score 34 to 17. After
the game coach Clifford insisted
that the Clerks were capable of
even better play than they display-
ed against Howard. If that is
true, Howard had better wateh out.
Armstrong quintet is clearly the
class of the conference when it
comes to defensive play as they

though failing as vet to break into
the win column, is showing vast
improvement and has put up good
fights in recent games. It is not
expected that coach Clifford's pro-

season, but that they will upset

Coach Pekins’ Poets are now hit-

predict, but it is safe to say the
outfit will make a lot of trouble
from now on and be a decisive
factor in the awarding of the

By Edwin B. Henderson
Several years ago the principals
of the junior high sehools of Divi-
sion 10-13 abolished inter school
athletes and drill competitions of
the traditional college varsity type.
In place of this form of athletics
an intensive intramural sthletie
program was fostered. It was fel
too few pupils got the benefits of
compititive game situations. The
physical directors, who were also
athletic coaches, in order to train
their teams to win games in com-
petition with other junior high
schools were forced to sacrifice $0
much time that rightfully should
have been used for the help of a
larger percentage of boys in the
schools. Then, too, this newly
emerged junio’ high school popu-
lation had not been trained suf-
ficiently in the emotional controls
of spectatorship that would enable
them to react with individual bene-
fit in crowds at exciting school
contests.
The junior high school principals
gave favorable heed to a big. in-
tramural program of competitive
athletics and sports. The present
competitive intramurals for girls
include the following activities
within their seasons: Fall-Schlag
ball and dodge ball; Winter—vol-
ley ball, basketball, handball, and
tumbling; Spring’ — playground
baseball, horseshoes, paddle ten-
nis, track and field events. For
boys the following schedules are
used: Fall—soecer, touch football;
Winter—handball, ‘volley ball, bas-
ketball, <a tumbling; Spring—
playground ball, horseshoes, paddle
tennis, track and field.
Large Variety
This program gives opportunity
for try-out experience in a va-
riety of games and contests, Some
of the events are the larger team
games where the individual is sub-
merged and learns to cooprrate
with the group. These ga'nes
serve most pupils only during t'wir
school days. Other games of the
individual type have great carry-
over value for these students who
develop beyond the mere novice or
“dub” state. In order to give the
smaller, less experienced, or weak-
er boy’ or girl competitive situa-
tions, all pupils in the school are
classifieg according to the combin-
ed factors of age, height, and
weight. This grouping renders
the units as nearly homogeneous
as practical, at this time, for the
competition in the various activi-
ties and games,
To insure large numbers of pu-
pils engaging in intramurals,
teams are formed in sections or
home rooms. In basketball and
volley ball there may be a light-
weight and a heavyweight team in
each section, or home room. In
playground ball, soccer, dodge ball,
schlag ball, and touch football, the
home room teams of each year,
without regard for further classi-
fication, compete for a champion-
ship within the year. Also home
room winners in individual sports
meet for a school championship
series,
Tournaments Planned
Last year for the first time,
various tournaments were held
during which, the intramural home
room school ‘champions from each
school met in a short elimination
series and played through to a win-
ner. For ¢ais coming semester
inter-school intramural — tourna-
ments are planned for boys in bas-
ketball, handbal!, tumbling. paddle
tennis, playground baseball and
|‘ vack and field,
In basketball, the home room
winning teams in the second intra-
mural ‘championships, will meet
with the ligheweight’ and_heavy-
weight intramural’ champions of
the home rooms of Shaw, Randall,
Garnet-Patterson, Francis and Car-
dozo during the week of March 3-
March 10, Volley ball. tourna-
ments for the intramural winners
will occur March 21, 22, and 24.
Handball singles will’ be played at
Francis and Garnet-Patterson on
April 4. Tumbling teams will meet
at Shaw on April 14. Playground
ball tournaments will be held May
16 to May 21 at various fields. A
| track mect will be held June 2, and
& paddle tennis ehampionship’ will
be decided June 7 and 8.
‘Teachers Supervise
The physical education teachers
of boys and girls head up these
intramural programs and tourna-
ments. In some schools a well or-
ganized intramural system exists.
Students (representatives as indi-
viduals and committees) manage
[and officiate the contests with

teachers acting largely in supervi-
sory capacity. Altogether, the
program of intramurals conducted
upon a uniform basis in all the
junior high schools and ending in
tournaments in which these intra-
mural winners meet in an honor
serées of contests, is the best
scheme, we have yet hit upon, to
meet with the objectives of educa-
tional objectives for a larger num-
ber of participants. By the time
the pupils reach the senior high
schools they have had some train-
ing in the ethics and controls of
inter-school competition as specta-
tors and participants, and are
ready for the more highly develop-
ed inter-schoo] athletic forms al-
though, even there, many of the
intramural types of competition

“Lamb” Johnson Hero As
Knoxville Beats W. Va.
By Iealah W. Crinpins
|}, KNOXVILLE, Tenn—People who
have weak hearts had no business
at the gymnasium during the West
Virginia-Knoxville College basket-
ball game Monday night. When the
final bel: rang the ball was in the
air spinning around the Knoxville
basket with victory or defeat de-
pending on which’ way it dropped.
The tense crowd shrieked wit:. joy
when it spun through the loop to
give Knoxville College a one point
victory. Score, 24-23.
The game proveg to bea thri'-
ler from start to finish. The West
Virginians got off to a fast start
and had registered a five point
lead before the. Knoxville ‘bas-
keteers could find the loop. The
Knoxville College's passing at-
tack did not seem to be up to par
and when the ball was worked
down the floor the try for goal was
missed. In spite of these faults
the Bulldog’s machine functioned
well enough to lead the moun-
taineers at half 9-7.
Here cain “Lamb” Johnson
of Knoxville, assumed the role of
hero. After breaking up an at-
tempt by West Virginia to freeze
the ball, he crouched about two
feet behind the center line and
sent one through the mesh. Pan-
demonium broke loose at this
point.

MEET DETECTIVE CHARLIE CHAN AT THE LINCOLN
An intensely gripping mystery melodrama, "Charlie Chan's Chance," comes to the Lincoln Theatre, Friday, February 5, for a run of 5 days.
Warner Oland, supreme in Oriental characterizations, appears as Charlie Chan, the famed Chinese detective from Honolulu. The lovers are Marion Nixon and Alexander Kirkland, last seen as the youngest son in "Surrender." Others in the cast are H. B. Warner, Linda Watkins, James Kirkwood and Ralph Morgan. The story details the newest adventures of Charlie Chan, this time in a New York setting, where he finds himself studying the police methods of that city.
The role of Charlie Chan gives Oland full play for his unusual talents developed during a long period of experience on the stage and screen. He has been playing Oriental roles for many years, appearing in such outstanding productions as "Dr. Fu Manchu," "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu," "The Black Camel," and "Charlie Chan Carrys On." Altogether, "Charlie Chan's Chance" is a superior mystery drama. One thrilling situation follows another and the audience is kept guessing as to who actually committed the crime. The suspense does not end until the final fadeout.
At Last It's Here!
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. A rare treat is in store for local movie-goers, starting Tuesday at the Lincoln Theatre, for "The Big Parade," King Vidor's masterpiece, has been reissued by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with sound effects and will be shown at this theatre for three days.
Time has not lessend the effectiveness of this picture which will go down into history as the most stirring and realistic story of the World War. Its tremendous scenes are given added spectacle through being heard as well as seen for now we not only see the gripping episodes in which the American soldiers stalk through Belleau Wood in the face of terrific machine-gun fire to be mowed down like so much hay, but hear the guns, airplanes, explosions, and incidental sounds as well.
GLORIA SWANSON AT BOOKER-T
"Tonight or Never," Gloria Swanson's latest starring vehicle, is by far the best of her colorful career. This picture, an entertaining sophisticated attraction with a delicate sex theme throughout, has just finished a long run on Broadway.
The heroine, a famous opera singer, is angered at her music teacher when he states her voice is cold; that it lacks passion. He tells her that to become a great singer a woman must first live and love. Miss Swanson immediately goes out in search of love and her many thrilling and startling disclosures make "Tonight or Never" one of the realest pictures of the year.
Especially interesting is the sequence where she takes unto herself what is commonly known as a giggle, and after spending an entire evening and night with him she finds that he is really the di-

ZIEGFELD'S STARS APPEARING AT THE HOWARD
For the week beginning Saturday, February 6, two stars direct from Ziegfeld's Follies will appear on the stage at the Howard Theatre. They are Buck and Bubbles, for years on the Keith Circuit and of late Broadway favorites. The Follies of this season saw Buck and Bubbles in a spot that was a credit to their ability, offering something entirely different. This team has always drawn a large salary, and coming to the Howard Theatre has made no change in their pay check.
The screen's greatest comediene, Edna May Oliver, in "Ladies of the Jury" with Stuttering Roscoe Jones, will be the big attraction, "Ladies of the Jury" is a comedy drama packed with thrilling features.
There will be two mid-night shows on Tuesday and Friday nights.
"Ladies of the Jury" is the story of a typical mixed jury of men and women who can only agree to disagree.
**Comedy Thick and Fast**
With this plot as the motivating theme, the film plunges into an amazing series of comic situations and reveals much of the inside workings of the jury system in the process.
The film tells the story of twelve different types of jurors who find themselves locked in a room for the purpose of deciding the fate of a pretty show girl accused of murder.
Fights, accusations and constant bickering revolve about the personality of Miss Oliver who finally wins the others to a verdict of guilty by playing on their emotions and racial differences.
Great Supporting Cast
The film does not depend upon Miss Oliver alone to carry along the laughs. Director Lowell Sherman has provided a supporting cast which includes almost a score of the cinema's most noted comedians. Among these are Ken Murray, radio and vaudeville favorite; Roscoe Ates, stuttering comedian of "Cimarron"; Kitty Keuy, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams, Kate Price, Cora Witherspoon, and George Humbert.
A
DORIE ALEXANDER is another of the exotic beauties from "Harlem Scandals," the colorful and tuneful stage revue recently produced by Irving Mills, the sponsor of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway. Miss Alexander was one of the fortunate dancers selected by Mr. Mills in following out his theory of "glorifying" the sepia girls in the Ziegfeld manners by making grace, beauty and charm, in addition to dancing ability, essential qualifications for his chorus.
Discussion is necessary, but too much talk hinders progress. A large committee against a few produces an excess of talk. To safeguard a committee against wasting its energies, the members must be a few.

RICH MOTHER HAS MANY SONS TO CLAIM HER
Rich Oil Land in Oklahoma Object of Many Would-Be-Sons
WEWOKA, Okla.—(ANP)—Wewokans who returned here Friday from the week-long hearing of the claims of rival Raymond Jacksonss for their proper share in the rich oil estate belonging to one Raymond Jackson, brought word that the famous case is about to be brought to a close. Judge Robert L. Williams, who presided at the hearing, has taken the evidence under advisement and announced that he will render a decision in the near future.
The Raymond case is unique—strange—and then some more; it scarcely has a parallel in many respects. Back in 1903, May 2, to be exact, there was born to Davis and Rhina Jackson a son who was named Raymond. There were eight other children born to these two parents. The Jackson family is one of six boys and three girls. On October 29, 1921, the parents and the other children, allege that Raymond left home—hundreds of Wewokans bear witness to the same. Raymond is said to have had Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as his destination. Several other boys ran away from home at the same time. It seems they all were beating their way on freights and Raymond is reported to have been killed between Blue Mountain and Booneville, Arkansas, November 3, 1921. The parents and children utter this, as do also divers depositions by Arkansans and the Rock Island R.R. on which Raymond was killed. The body was not immediately returned home here, but was buried along the Rock Island right-of-way.
Being the son of a Seminola freedman. Raymond was allotted forty acres of oil land—that is and which later was found to pos-

"Nothing seemed to help me. I tried everything I could hear of but my indigestion hung on four years.
"Then a friend got me to take some Pape's Diaper din. I had almost immediate relief with the first two tablets. Now that I have been taking them for some time, I find I can eat meats or most anything and have no trouble. I want to tell others about Diapenin because it sure helped me."

sess rich oil deposits. The other boys—most of them returned home, Raymond, being dead, did not. The parents naturally took possession of Raymond's allotment. Meantime scores of Raymonds bobbed up all over the West—and from as far east as "Ole Kentucky. Each Raymond filed as an intervenor and claimed to be the "real" Raymond Jackson who departed. The parents said "Impossible." The body of the ill-fated Raymond was exhumed, brought to Wewoka and buried in the Jackson family cemetery plot. Denial, claim and counter denial and claim followed. Many of the Raymonds failed to show up for court when the date was at hand. Meantime, two Raymonds, one from Ole Kentucky and the other from far-away California, dared face the parents and claim them as their own. The parents denied them as did their eight children.
A Widow Shows Up
But during the past week, Oklahoma witnessed two "Raymonds," one Raymond Jackson dubbed "Kentucky" Raymond Jackson, because he hailed from the Blue Grass State, and the other "California" Raymond because he hailed from that far-away state. Judge Robert L. Williams, aged white-haired jurist and former governor of Oklahoma, presided during the trial which saw two boys, each of whom vied with the other to prove themselves to be the "real" and long sought for and much desired Raymond Jackson. Each one most positively identify himself as the "real" Raymond. Others supported them—even the midwife came to "Kentucky's" aid and solemnly she'd shew "swehe" was the "real" Raymond on a stack of Bibles forty feet high." The Jackson parents, their children and others were equally as positive and emphatic that each pretender was "Impossible."
Picks Out Wreng Man
"California" is supposed to have been ill one time since leaving home and his father was said to have sent word to send money to pay for medicinal purposes. The man who said he carried the message to the father was positive he could identify the father. On being told to do so, he pointed out Judge W. H. Twine, veteran Negro Muskogee lawyer as the father. The real father was not in court at the time of the identification. Laughter ruled for awhile at this point. The lawyers were given thirty days to file briefs, answers and counter briefs; then, the case will be taken under advisement, and Judge Williams will study and render a decision.
Meantime, in 1926, a fake Raymond and his accomplice were sent to McAlester state penitentiary for seven and fifteen years, respectively, because the former Clint Williams, of Fort Worth, Texas, was induced to do so by Dave Hutton, of Feufaula, who made a trip to Fort Worth to frame Clint Williams. The father, Rev. D. A. Jackson, is a Baptist minister and went to Africa with Chief Sam in 1914, but returned after spending one year and four months.
Elementary Schools Hold Joint Exercises
The joint promotion exercises of the Sixth B classes of the Bruce and Monroe Schools was held Thursday at the Morgan School. The exercises were featured by an address by Rev. A. F. Elmes, and the presentation of promotion reports by Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal of Division 10.
Students participating in the program were Everine J. Reele and Charlotte Wesley of Bruce School, and Richard Ray and La Verne Berry of Monroe School. Mrs. L. C. Green, member of the Monroe Parent-Teacher Association was presiding officers, while the invocation and benediction were said by Rev. Elmes. Music was furnished by the graduates.
College Women Discuss Inter Racial Trends
一
The College Ammanu Cub held its meeting Saturday in the rose room of the Phyllis Wineatly Y.W.C.A. After the routine matters had been cleared up, the evening was spent in an illuminating discussion of inter-racial trends. Miss Bertha McNeill chairman of the committee studying inter-racial trends, presented the main speaker of the evening, Mrs. Faith Williams, a member of President Hower's Housing Commission. Mrs. Williams discussed the matter of inter-racial trends in its relation to housing conditions only; she failed to give any evidence of better social adjustments of the races in America. She urged the audience to make a budget and live by it. Many financial losses would not have occurred if people had lived by budgets just after the World War, declared the speaker.
Miss McNeill read many replies to letters which had been sent to distinguished members of the other race, which told of the trend of inter-racial thoughts on inter-racial matters

Dr. Anderson Delivers On Balanced Ration
With a market basket of assorted fresh green vegetables and fruits at her side, Dr. Viola Russell Anderson secretary of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, gave a practical talk on balanced diet to 300 men and women at the Palais Royal department store Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Dr. Anderson, who was presented by Manager C. A. Case stressed the importance of variety in selecting 2 diet and avoiding too much starch foods, making provision for more of the green vegetables, salads and fruits. The moral of her tale was that the body properly nourished with such a diet is far more likely to be able to resist the approach of disease in general and cf tuberculosis in particular.

Washington May Be In East-West Baseball Loop
Cum Posey Heads New Loop Formed At Cleveland; Seek To Have Eight Clubs Lined Up Before Season Starts In Spring
the league make-up is that the Cleveland Municipal Stadium will in all probability be the home of the Cleveland team. Negotiations that appear very favorable are under way for Lem Williams' charges to make their home stand at the lake front stadium. The baseball delegates inspected the mammoth municipal athletic plant, which was completed last July, and was the scene of the Schmelling-Stribbling fight. The plant is equipped with flood lights for night baseball, and the Cleveland Indians of the American League have been considering switching from League Park to the Stadium. However, when the city fathers failed to come to terms with Alva Bradley's company, it left the gate open for Lem Williams to attempt to link the stadium up with the East-West Colored League.
The league will play a split schedule opening May 7, and finishing September 15, with Philadelphia as the scene of the February meeting, at which time the schedule will be adopted.
Fast Fisk Five Takes Two From Tuskegee
BY R. S. Scruggs
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Fighting Fisk Bulldogs took two hard fought games from the boys from Tuskegee. Fisk took the first affair by a 23-22 count. Tuskegee found themselves at the short end of a 27-18 count in the second af Tuskegee scoring six points before fair.
The first game started off with Fisk boys could get going. Tuskegee held her lead and increased it and was at the long end of a 16-11 count when the whistle blew for the half. The Bulldogs came back strong in the second half and the score was soon neck and neck. When the time keepers announced two minutes to go the crowd was in a frenzy with the score tied at 22 all. Both teams started some fast passing and close guarding. Evans, the Chicago, ace, made a free throw good with thirty seconds to go and gave Fisk a victory.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.—The initial step to combine the colored baseball forces of the East and West was effected at the Majestic Hotel, in Cleveland, when the representatives of the major clubs organized the East-Vest Colored League, whose officers are pointing to an eight-club circuit that already embraces the largest and best cities.
The sessions lasted two days in the Ohio city, and was attended by the following representatives: Pittsburgh, Cum Posey and Charlie Walker; Detroit, John Rossink; Baltimore, George Rossiter; Philadelphia, Johnn - Drew and Lloyd Thompson; Cleveland, L. R. "Lem" Williams; Newark, N.J., was figured as a prospective member, but Oliver Brown, the business manager of the Newark Brown, has since passed out the information that the directors of their company have considered that the time is not ripe for the Brownns to step up in big time baseball.
Washington May Have Club
However, with the assurance of an influential Washington business man, it is virtually conceded that the District of Columbia will be represented in the League with a fast club for the sixth club. To balance the situation, one more representative city is desired in both the East and West. Either New York or Brooklyn will round out the East, and lines are out for another city in the West, with Chicago set as a limit for distance. The league has a lapsed commission form government an a board of club representatives Cum Posey, George Rossiter, and Lloyd Thompson will serve in that capacity. Cum Posey was chosen chairman of the commission; Johnny Drew, treasurer; and Lloyd Thompson, secretary.
Cut Salaries
The matter of reducing the overhead expenses, of which salaries is the major item, was given serious consideration by the club owners who have come to the ultimate opinion that only with lower salaries can they expect to operate. Also they wish to make it known that with the formation of the league, changed conditions, reduced salaries and the elimination of extras, formerly expended, not a single player is in line and when contracts are sent out in the near future the next move is up to the diamond athletes.

SWIFT EAGLE IS OLYMPIC TIMBER
Victory Over 3-Year Old Deer in Race Stamps Him As Candidate
When Uncle Sam begins picking out his men to represent America in the sprint at the Olympics this summer, he shouldn't overlook Swift Eagle, of 1430 Swann street, northwest. Now, Swift Eagle never confessed to be a runner, but Monday, the stocky young man outran a three-year-old fallow buck deer.
As Eagle was walking south on Connecticut avenue, he cited the anterled buck darting nimbly thru traffic. He immediately gave chase. The deer ran across the Million Dollar Bridge where Swift Eagle overtook J. L., and grabbed him by the antlers. A cab driven by W. F. Gilmore, white, drove up and Eagle with the driver's assistance bundled the kicking buck into the car and returned him to his home z the Zoo. The excitement and exertion was too much for the animal and he died in a few minutes after being placed in the cage, where four hours before it had forced the wire netting apart and escaped. Previous to Swift Eagle's experience, police of the Third and Tenth Precincts and Zoo officials had organized a hunting party in an attempt to round up the fallow buck.

Umpires To Get "Break" In Newly Formed League
PITTSBURGH. Pa. (WPS)—As various plans are being made for 1932 baseball, colored umpires will undoubtedly receive more consideration than in previous years. The recently formed East-West League should take up this angle, with better results because their schedules will be confined to Negro teams. "Outlaw" or "Independents" will have more difficulty using race umpires in mixed games. A report coming from headquarters of the Pittsburgh Crawfords carries the news that at least one colored umpire will be on duty at Greenle Park for all home games. If no serious objections are raised, they might employ two. It is also intimated that race umpires will be employed for road games.
It is conceded that four men will head the list of candidates for assignment. They win this position because they have established themselves with white and colored fans. Herb Pierce, W. P. Young, Johnny Craig, and "Mo" Harris will probably be rated in this order.
Knoxville Basketball Five Wins Three Games in Night
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Victory in three basketball games in a single evening was the record of Knoxville College teams Friday night—and that without the use of Knoxville College's greatest stars, Captain Johnson, Edwards and Sanford.
Men's reserve teams defeated Morristown N. and I. College 23-16, and Austin High School, 30-29. The Knoxville College women swamped Morristown College girls by a 21-7 score in one of the most enjoyable games of the evening.
The Morristown varsity five played a fast and consistent game against Knoxville's best reserves. Morristown built up a 9-3 lead and led at the half 12-7. At the opening of the second half Knoxville began to find the basket and went ahead to win 23-16.

PHILLY TEXT BOOK PROTESTED FOR RACE SLANDER
(From Baltimore Tribune)
BALTIMORE.— Protest against a high school textbook on the approve. list since 1922 has been filed with the Philadelphia board of education by a group of citizens, who say the book slanders the race.
The protest, in a letter from a committee headed by Floyd L. Logan, was read before the finance committee of the board. It was referred to Dr. Edwin C. Broome, superintendent, for investigation.
If the charges are proved the volume will be removed at once. But 144 copies are said to be in use.
"Your attention is hereby directed to the high-school text Problems of American Democracy," the letter said. "Its chapter on the American race problems which deals with the Negro race is in most part derogatory. In fact, it seems strange that the board of education adopted the text without first requiring the author to revise the chapter in question.
Obiections Cited
"For instance, the statement that the Negro's ignorance and superstition are proverbial, and that his uncleanliness exacts a terrible toll, is extremely misleading. It leads one to think that such is true of the entire race. And a further statement that the Negro in the South is legally kept from voting, not because of race but because of illiteracy, is not confirmed by an actual survey of that condition in the southern part of the country.
"It is the dissemination of such propaganda that, not only has poisoned the minds of many white people against us, but in addition thereto has brought about understanding of the Negro and a consequent mistreatment of him in every department of American social and economic life."
The authors are Dr Henry Reed Burgh, head of the department of history and soci1 science at Overbrook high school, and S. Howard Patterson of the Wharton school University of Pennsylvania.
Kindergarteners Hold Graduation Exercises
The kindergarten B class of the Morgan School, of which Miss Marguerite E. Brent is instructor, issued formal invitations to their graduation exercises, which were held Thursday afternoon. A large number of relatives and friends witnessed the unique affair.
To meet the conditions of depression, as well as to encourage social clubs to give more dances, the Murray Casino management makes the sensational announcement that beginning February 1st, the Casino can be booked on a basis of either $25 a night, or on a percentage basis. Clubs desiring to take advantage of this offer are requested to file their application for dates at once stating which of the two propositions is desired.
Seeks to Amend 'Color' Bill
ALBANY, N.Y.—Assemblyman James Edward Stephens, the only Negro member of the present legislature introduced for the second time, his famous bill to ammend the civil rights law, in relation to discriminations by utilities companies, on account of race or color, in the employment of persons in the operation or maintenance of public service.
Last year, when this bill was introduced, it failed to carry by one vote. This year, the Assemblyman, who last election defeated Francis Rivers for the office, says that the bill has more than an even chance for passage, because of the larger number of Democrats in the state legislature.
190 Counties In Southern States Have Majority Negro Population
WASHINGTON (CNS)—In figures released recently by the Bureau of Census here, it was shown that there are 190 counties in the twelve Southern States, where the Negro population exceeds that of whites. In these counties the Negro population is 50 per cent or more. These figures indicate a decrease over corresponding figures for the two previous decades. In 1910 there were 264 of such counties and in 1910, 220.
Georgia leads the list of Southern States in the number of such counties with a total of 48, Mississippi comes next with 35, South Carolina is third with 25 counties and Virginia fourth with 20.

LILY-WHITE G.O.P IN GEORGIA KICKS BEN DAVIS OUT
LILY-WHITE G.O.P IN GEORGIA KICKS BEN DAVIS OUT
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan., (ANP)—Republican politics in the state of Georgia took on a new aspect Tuesday when announcement was made that Benjamin J. Davis, secretary of the state Republican committee, had been ousted from the position and that a white man, Wilson Williams, a third class postmaster, of Woodbury had been elected to succeed Mr. Davis. Georgia whites hailed the unceremonious kick in the pants given Mr. Davis as the "purging" of the official ranks of the Republican party of the Negro, forgetting that after the Civil war, it was only through the admission of the Negro to these "official ranks" that the state was allowed to resume its position in the Union.
The announcement of the election of Williams was made by J. T. Rose, state chairman, and James W. Arnold of Athens, national committeeman. Although the announcement implied that the bum's rush given Davis was in the form of an election, nobody seems to know anything about such an election, legally held, and the current belief is that Williams was simply appointed by the lily-whites who are determined to boss Republi-an activities in the state.
There was some word of a confab held by a group of whites a few weeks ago. en Clint W. Hager, United States attorney for the northern district of Georgia, Edwin K. Large, Atlanta postmaster, and Rose were the guests of M. O. Dunning, collector of the port at Savannah, on a fishing trip. It is believed that the dirty work was planned then.
Too Busy Speaking
Too Busy Speaking
Accompanying the announcement of the boot given Davis was the smokescreen reference to Davis's activities with the Republican national committee. It was held that Mr. Davis was too busy speaking to groups of his own people in northern states as an official representative of the national committee to have time to devote to the proper attention of state affairs. Chairman Rose made the above statement, adding that Davis was being paid by the Republican national committee.
However, there are friends close to Mr. Davis who say that the reports of his connections with the Republican chiefs in Washington are much exaggerated. They told that he was acting as a sort of liaison officer and speaker for the national committee for awhile, but at nothing like the reported salary of $7,500 a year. It is even stated
that, as long as he was paid, he received no more than $250 a month and expenses. Then the national committee ran out of immediate funds and Mr. Davis is said to have received nothing at all. It is not known whether he is being paid by the committee at this time.
The passing of Mr. Davis from a position of influence in the state Republican ranks would seem to indicate that for a time at least the Negro will have lost the principal symbol of power in the Republican party which he once possessed. White men are set in all the key positions. It is not possible at this time to trace the causes of the Negro's failure to hold his own, or to place the blame. The usual charges of Negroes fighting among themselves will be made and in this connection the memorable battle between Davis and "Uncle" Joe Watson of Albany will be recalled. But whether the Negro might have maintained his position if he had kept his ranks close is a moot question.
Davis was elected to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as Republican national committeeman from the state. He served for several years when he became involved in the patronage scandals which were worked up against the committee in several states of the south. While defending himself from these attacks Davis was confronted with the spirited opposition of Watson and his friends. The result was that he lost the position of national committeeman which went to the white man Arnold, and Davis was made secretary of the state committee in a sort of compromise move.
DePriest Will Deliver An Address in Lynchburg
LYNCHBURG, Va.—Congressman Oscar DePriest will make an address to the citizens of Lynchburg and nearby vicinities on Sunday afternoon February 7, in the chapel of Virginia Seminary at 4 o'clock. Mr. DePriest will speak on the urgent topic: "Some Things the Negro Had Better Do At Once." It is also expected that Mr. De Priest will make a summary of his important and significant non-partisan political conference held recently in Washington.
Sugar Purchaser Claims Injury From Glass
Howard Quigley, 40, of the 900 block of First street, northeast, was treated at Gallinger Hospital early this week for internal cuts which Quigley told police, he received while drinking some coffee containing sugar with glass in it. The sugar was allegedly purchased from a grocery on Third street, northeast, and Ninth Precinct police had a five-pound bag as evidence and were investigating the buyer's claims.
TENNESSEANS WILL SEEK ANTI-LYNCHING LAW
State Interracial Commission Pledges Renewed Efforts For Effective Measure
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Tennessee Interracial Commission, in annual session here this week, pledged renewed efforts for an effective anti-lynching law in this State and expressed itself as hopeful of success. Such a bill, it was stated, was drafted and sponsored by the commission in the last legislature and appeared certain of enactment until a big financial crash involved millions of State funds and blocked all further constructive legislation.
The commission announced also a number of other immediate objectives, including better oppo-death rate of the entire Negro physicians and nurses, and better provisions for the care of dependents, defectives and delinquents. The tuberculosis death rate of Negro children in Tennessee is ten times that of white children, the commission was told, and the T.B. death rate o f the entire Negro group three times as high as that of the white. At the same time it was pointed out that tuberculosis is not hereditary, that under same conditions Negroes are no more subject to it than other people, and that most of its great destruction of life could be prevented if proper conditions were provided and proper care taken. Dr. Bent, of Meharry Medical College, emphasized the importance of utilizing all available public health services in fighting this and other diseases from which Negroes suffer heavily.
Training In Honesty
Prof. H. L. Allison, principal of the high school of Clarksville, maintained that the schools have given too exclusive attention to formal education and too little training in honesty, integrity, thrift, respect of law, and right attitudes towards others. Character building, he maintained, should be the primary aim of education.
Dr. J. B. Barber, prominent Negro pastor from Chattanooga, delivered an effective address on the problems of law and order, and Dr. C. H. Boone, of Nashville, spoke on the obligation of the churches to seek the regeneration of society as well as that of the individual. Dr. C. V. Roman spoke briefly and Hon. J. C. Napier, former registrar of the treasury, closed the session with an encouraging and delightful review of the great racial gains achieved within his memory.
The meeting was held in the Central Y.M.C.A., and was attended by representative leaders of both races. The interracial work in Tennessee is directed by J. D. Burton, with the active co-operation of Robert E. Clay, state agent for Rosenwald Schools. The chairman is Dr. James E. Clarke, editor of the Presbyterian Advance, and the secretary is Dr. J. A. Lester, of Meharry Medical College.
Lightfoot Publishes "Vergil Thru The Ages"
The Howard University Press last week published a pamphlet on Vergil Through the Ages, by Prof. George M. Lightfoot, of the Department of Latin. The phamphlet was published as a record of the participation of Howard University in the world-wide celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Vergil's birth, and is dedicated to the students and members of the faculty of the university, to the end of promoting their understanding and appreciation of the influence one of the greatest poets of the Western civilization.
Helps Women Avoid Pains
MORE than half a century of successful use has shown that Cardui helps women to avoid much that they formerly suffered—misery from minor functional disturbances, monthly suffering due to a weakened condition. Cardui acts as a tonic for the system, and tends to improve the general health. It is of especial value to weak, nervous, run-down women, needing just such a strengthening medicine. Those who suffer every month should build up their strength to assist in the natural correction of the painful condition. When you need Cardui, buy a bottle and take it regularly and persistently. Perhaps several bottles will be needed. Finally, may you share the enthusiasm of the thousands of women who have said: "Cardui helped me!"

STUDENTS DEMAND DISMISSAL OF COLLEGE PREXY
Prejudice Given As Cause For Uprising Against President Giffen
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—A demand for the removal of President J. Kelly Giffen, of Knoxville College, was made by revolting students here Wednesday night. A denial that the trouble grew out of the college administration's refusal to permit students to dance was made by one leader of the revolt. The leader whose name for obvious reasons has been withheld told a reporter that: "The idea seems to prevail that the unrest among the student body grew out of the refusal of the faculty to permit dancing and punishment of a group of students for infringement of this rule. Such is a mistaken idea. While the unduly severe punishment meted out to the few students who attended a perfectly proper social affair at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Downs, proved the straw "that broke the camel's back." such an

inconsequential matter pales into insignificance as compared to the czaristic discriminatory and extremely prejudiced attitude exhibited toward the students in particular and the Negroes in general by President Giffen and certain members of his faculty. "Such accounts for the demands outlined in every speech leading up to the non-violent protest staged by the student body, that the board operating Knoxville College give us a new president if they expect our further patronage" the student concluded.
It was further outlined that Richard Hayes, one of most brilliant students at the college, and president of the Freshman class packed his trunk and left in disgust when the other students elected to return to their activities without some word from the authorities that President Giffen would give up the presidency of the college. The strike, it was revealed, was motivated by a letter of condemnation received by the students from William Lovelace, alumnus of Knoxville College, who is now a probation officer working in Cincinnati, and who is president of the Knoxville alumni association.

STOCKHOLDERS OF SOUTHERN AID IN ANNUAL MEETING
RICHMOND, Va.—On Monday night, January 25, one hundred fifty or more shareholders of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Incorporated, met in the beautiful assembly hall of the new home office building of the corporation at Richmond, Va., to hear the thirty-ninth annual reports of the officers and directors. As this session was the first of the annual meetings to be held in the new building, the occasion had this special attraction for the shareholders. They were eager to have first-hand and complete reports of the great achievement of the directors and officers and field force in completing the magnificent new home office building and carrying on the company's usual activities or business in the midst of the depression.
The report of the construction of the new home office building without using any of the special and large deposits accumulated in race banks for this particular purpose, which, if used during the depression, would have caused serious embarrassment to them, was of unusual interest to the shareholders. Of equal interest, was the evidence that the corporation continued during the year its prompt and liberal methods of payment of claims to all policyholders and claimants, although its business, like all others, had been affected by the depression. But the record showing that the field staff had been able to increase premium collections in the life insurance division during the year, was of especial interest to the shareholders.
The shareholders of this corporation were highly gratified to learn that the retrenchment program of the directors and officers had resulted in a substantial increase in the surplus of the company during a period when its income had materially fallen off, although the claims and expense, incident to their adjustment, had continued above a normal rate. This evidence of such skillful management and foresight was so very pleasing to the shareholders, that they enthusiastically and unanimously reflected all of the old board and officers, and gave them assurances of their utmost confidence and determination to help them to develop the business to the fullest extent. The directors officers and field force have therefore entered upon a new year, determined to make it the banner one for growth of the company's business, and also very profitable to policyholders and shareholders.
Following the meeting, many of the shareholders, especially those from out of town, made a thorough inspection of all divisions of the new home office building and left with a feeling of just pride in the achievements of their company and its exceptionally strong financial condition.

MANY BLACK GODS IN EUROPE, SAYS J. A. ROGERS
MANY BLACK GODS IN EUROPE, SAYS J. A. ROGERS
There are different conceptions of Christ, God, and the virgins in European countries, according to Mr. J. A. Rogers, who spoke before the Baltimore Forum, Sunday at the Elks' Hall.
"People in the foreign countries have no thought: about the difference in color." Mr. Rogers said.
There is absolutely no color prejudice in Europe. European whites do not like American whites as tourists, except for their money. The only question of color according to Mr. Rogers, is the color of your money.
He used a map of the world to illustrate his ramarks, and gave some of the customs of the peoples of the many lands he visited.
The question of hair dress is reversed, according to Rogers, who insisted that the darker races of Europe glorify in the kinky hair instead of the straight.
Other incidents as humorous were related, quite a few having bearing upon Mr. Roger's travels.
John F. Cook Parent-
Teacher Presents Portrait
Tuesday evening a very large audience of parents and friends was entertained in the auditorium of the John F. Cook School by the 6B pupils who entered the Junior High School on the first of February.
In keeping with the nation wide program of the Bi-Centennial Commission in honor of George Washington, these children depicted scenes from his life as a surveyor and as a recipient of the prophecies of the Indiang who foretold of his future greatness. The closing scene rich in color and beauty was a picture of the celebration at Trenton, N.J. in honor of Washington as he made the journey to New York to become the first president.
L. L. Perry, supervising principal of the 11th Division spoke on the physical fitness of children and the absolute necessity for the development of sound and healthy bodies.
A representative of the Community Chest was present to explain to the parents and friends the meaning of the Chest and help them to see and realize that the unemployed people as well as the sick and needy in the city of Washington were receiving the utmost help from the Chest!
Mrs. K. P. Carr, secretary of the P.T.A. presented the request of the former students to place in the building a memorial to John F. Cook, a pioneer teacher for whom the school is named. Fifteen dollars was contributed and one hundred dollars was owed.
Dr. Koo Addresses Virginia State On China
Students of Virginia State College were given first hand information concerning the Chinese-Japanese situation by Dr. T. T. Z. Koo, learned Chinese good-will ambassador, at the college chapel exercises on Friday.
Dr. Koo, a Christian graduate of St. Johns College in China, for several years a rail-road official in China is vice-president of the World Student Christian Federation and of the World Alliance of the Y.M.C.A. He was elected by his government in cooperation with twenty-seven Christian nations, to represent the Chinese people in North and South America and is now touring this country lecturing on the causes of the conflict between the warring nations.
Discussing the situation from an economic point of view, Dr. Koo plainly attributed the controversy to the desire of the Japanese government to dominate transportation, industry, and commerce in Manchuria. Competition in these fields of economic activity was set forth as the chief cause of the strained relations by the learned speaker. Before making his speech Dr. Koo requested that the students sing Negro spirituals for him and promised to play some Chinese folk songs on his flute in return. This he did along with an explanation of the folk songs of his own land. They are similar in some respects to our own.
Langston Hughes, Poet Speaker at Knoxville
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Langston Hughes, young poet novelist, and lecturer, addressed the students of Knoxville College at chapel last Wednesday morning, following his lecture at Shiloh Presbyterian Church, Tuesday night in Knoxville.
Mr. Hughes talked briefly about his poems read several to the audience. I spoke of his travel experiences in various parts of the world.
"The Black Soldier" was one of the most popular of the poems presented and the declaration by Mr. Hughes that in many respects he is a pacifist brought applause.
Thornton A $100,000 Man For Five Years
Leroy W. Thornton, manager of the Victory Life Insurance Company for the W. shington district, has been on the one hundred thousand dollar honor roll of the company for the past five years. Three of those years were spent in Washington and two in New York City. The house organ of the company says; "On the basis of production Messrs. J. E. Hubbard and L. W. Thornton rank as our most consistent representatives. For five consecutive years each of them has been members of our $100,000 club."
Victory Shows Gains
"The Victory Life of Illinois announces substantial increases in its 1931 paid for and amount in force. In 1930 the company paid for $4,974,621 and in 1931 paid for $5,568,262. The amount in force jumped from $14,612,888 in 1930 to $16,433,938.
"The Victory Life is one of the strong Negro companies of the United States. Its home office is in Chicago, and it is the only Illinois company licensed in the state of New York. During 1931, agents qualified for the $100,000 club. "J. E. Stamps, agency director of the company, has made a special drive on conservation during 1931, to which he attributes the fine company showing. Every policy holder was interviewed once at least before his premium became due and if he started to lapse he was interviewed three more times before the policy was allowed to go off the books. Thus the company's fine conservation program enables it to make a substantial 1931 showing."

Woman Slashes Clothes Of Her Boy Friend
After pleading guilty to a charge of destroying private property in police Court. Monday, Ladonia Williams, mother of 16 children, was committed to jail for 25 days.
The woman was accused of having slashed to shreaks the entire wardrobe of Everett J. Holmes, 40 public library employee, of the 1300 block of Sixth street, northwest after Holmes spurned her affections. Holmes said he told the woman 10 days ago that he" didn't want to have anything else to do with her" and went to work. The following morning, when he returned, he said, he found two overcoats, three suits, four pairs of shoes and three hats, slashed to ribbons. The woman is said to have used a razor.
Holmes secured a warrant for the Williams woman who lives in Baltimore and she was arrested by Detective Paul Jones. She pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge John P. McMahon and was fined $50. Unable to pay the fine she was given a 25-day term. Eleven of the woman's sixteen children are said to be living in Baltimore with her husband. The others are dead.
Va. May Drop Poll Tax As Voting Prerequisite
RICHMOND. Va. (CNS)—Re-fo voting in Virginia, was the proposal made in the House of moval of poll tax as a prerequisite Delegates by Delegate Edgar B. English last week. Mr. Enlish proposed an amendment to the State constitution which would do away with the payment of poll tax.
The effect of this amendment would be to make a much larger number of the Negro population eligible to vote. Negroes 21 years of age, and over in the State total 329,000 in comparison with 970,952 whites of voting age. Disfranchisement on the ground of educational requirements has already been dealt a hard blow in the State, recent court decisions making it illegal to ask any but the stereotype questions. These decisions have resulted in a larger registration of Negro voters and it is felt that if the payment of poll taxes is eliminated, an even larger number of colored voters will show their influence at the polls.
HUNDREDS PAY FINAL TRIBUTE TO MISS JERNAGIN
To the accompaniment of pipe organ peals and the hushed whispers of a vast audience of admiring friends, the remains of Miss Rosabel C. Jernagin, popular daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Jernagin, was ushered for the last time into the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church here last Saturday at 11 o'clock a.m. Death came at an early hour Wednesday, after a gallant fight over a lingering illness resulting from a nervous break down about two years ago. At the bedside were her mother and two sisters, Mrs. L. R. Adams and Mrs. Gertrude Swancy. Her father, president of the National B.Y.P.U. and Sunday School Congress, was at Louisville, Ky., attending a board meeting arranged several months ago, venturing the trip only after consultation with her physicians.
Miss Jernagin was born in Meridian, Miss., July 4, 1893. She graduated from the public schools of that state. Turning west, this family took up residence in Oklahoma City, Okla., where "Rosa" (as she liked to be called) graduated from the city schools. In 1912 she was brought to the Capital by her father, who had been called to the pastorate of the Mt Carmel Church. Here she graduated from the Armstrong High School in the class of '14. Spending two years at Howard University, she returned again to Armstrong to complete a course in art in 1929.
Brief Service
In consonance with her wish and and the policies of her father, the funeral was marked for its brevity. Following the organ prelude, the choir sang "Abde with Me." Scripture was read by Dr. F. W. Dixon, after which prayer was offered by Dr. W. D. Jarvis. Resolutions from the church and its auxiliaries were read by Miss Elc McDowell. Dr. J. H. Randolph, pastor of Moriah Baptist Church, made announcement of resolutions and telegrams, scores of them coming from as many as seventeen States. The sermon was preached by Dr. L. G. Jordan, of Nashville Teen. Remarks were made by Rev. A. J. Tyler, Dr. J. L. S. Holloman and Rev. Augustus Lewis. Rev. Wm B. Marsh was master of ceremonies. Interment was at the New Lincoln Cemetery in the family lot.
Flowers in profusion were banked high about the bier, but because of a disdain the deceased was known to have toward floral displays, and in compliance with her oft expressed wish, only a bouquet of American Beauties were placed on the casket. And these were even wrapped with her in the grave for the long sleep.

A. McNeil, member of the Board of Education, addressed the class. Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, said the invocation and benediction. A health play entitled, "Sleeping beauty" given by the sixth B pupils also featured the program. Remarks' were given by Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal.
"Negro Education And Economic Development"
(A radio talk by Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce.) I keenly appreciate this opportunity to say a few words about the vital relationship that exists between the education of our colored citizens and the future economic development of the United States. Education is a subject that lies close to the heart of everyone concerned with the promotion of business. What we need, above all, is an extension of the sound, comprehensive education which shall serve as an effective basis for all the business of life.
Probably at no time in the past have all our citizens—white as well as Negre—been confronted with a greater demand for precise and usable knowledge, especially in the sphere of trade and industry. So let us look at a few figures about Negro business. We find, at the outset, that the Negro market is, most emphatically, worth cultivating. Take three of the great broad groups of standard, essential commodities—groceries, first of all. It has been estimated that, every year, American Negroes spend for food the sum of $2,200,000,000. For clothing the figure seems to be about $1,400,000,000—while for shoes it is $550,000,000. Enormous sums, surely! Negroes conduct no less than 70,000 individual business enterprises in this country. We have 38 Negro banking institutions. There are more than 60 insurance companies officered by Negroes. Our Marketing Service Division at the Department of Commerce has gathered data indicating that Negroes are engaged in the manufacturing of more than 60 different commodities, and that Negro retail merchants number more than 30,000, in 179 different lines.
From these facts it is apparent that the Negro is splendidly on the "up-grade," loth as a business man and as a customer. The ambitions of the race have been kindled. New vistas have been opened. The Negro has proven that, with opportunity, he can achieve success in almost any business field. And he is eager to know how to fill his place effectively in any of the diverse spheres of industry and trade. In general, he earnestly desires to be equipped to meet the demands that may be made upon him for service to the Nation and the age in which he lives.
The future success of business in this country absolutely requires an increasingly high standard of intelligence in our citizens. And that means, most assuredly, a great extension of educational facilities for colored people. That will enrich the national life—and will yield a profit in dollars and cents. Education creates wants. And "satisfiable" wants form the basis of business. Dr. Willis A. Sutton, past president of the American Education Association, has put the situation very vividly, in saying: "There could be little, if any, business if it were not for education. The cave man feels no need of an electric refrigerator. But lift him up—better him—inspire in him the first feeble spark of curiosity—send him to school. When he emerges, he will want an ever-increasing number of things. As he seeks to improve himself, the marts of the business world will expand. Most costly of all things in the world is ignorance." Those thoughts of Dr. Sutton are indeed accurate and timely. The ignorant farmer uses few implements—and those that he has are probably of an antiquated type. The ignorant city dweller cares for few modern conveniences. But through education a striking transformation can be brought about. This is as true for the Negro as for any other group.
Here is a fact most amply proven by statistics: The increase of wealth, productivity, and consuming capacity among Negroes has progressed in the same proportion as their educational advancement. Quite apart from the higher human considerations, education of the Negro pays by creating more wants and increasing his purchasing power. Plainly, then, it is the part of wisdom for our business men to give careful and persistent thought to the Negro as a potential market—remembering always

that the permanence and expansion of that market are in direct proportion to the educational opportunities afforded that race.
In the city of Atlanta, Georgia, Negroes form 42 per cent of the total population. But I find from a recent study that they buy only 21 per cent of the merchandise sold there. Other cities show similar figures. There is a rather astonishing disproportion between Negro numbers and Negro purchases. We perceive here a business gap that can be filled, in part at least, a lack that can be supplied—and the spread of education among the race will contribute mightily to this end, to the advantage of business everywhere. So much for the relation between general education and the Negro market. Now how about the question of specialized commercial training for Negro business men—the spreading of a knowledge of effective business practice? Some exceedingly gratifying results are being achieved in this field.
The recent investigations of the Commerce Department have amply proved that thousands of retail stores in this country have been run in what I may call a "shuffle-along" fashion, by whites and Negroes alike. To remedy that condition, the United States Government, the private research agencies, the organized business groups, and many individual business men, have been putting in their "best licks." Down in Louisville, Kentucky, we carried out an exhaustive "clinic" on the ills of the grocery business in all its aspects. At the close of that survey a big conference was held, to further the application of the things we had found out. The secretary of the National Negro Business League attended that conference, contributed useful suggestions, analyzed the results in relation to his own people, and then proceeded to spread the new business gospel in an educational and practical way. He created the first unit of the Colored Merchants' Association, which now comprises more than 250 grocery stores, in 10 cities, owned and operated by Negroes. Colored retailers in various parts of the country now have a much wider knowledge than formerly of such matters as store management, frequency of turn-over, cost of operation, and the many other elements that enter into profitable merchandising. I feel that a considerable part of this new business education among Negroes may fairly be attributed to the activity of the Small Business Section in the Department of Commerce, under the competent direction of Mr. James A. Jackson.
The volume of business in many Negro stores has thus been increased from 5 to 50 per cent, r. the merchants learned how to keep goods moving. The banks, manufacturers, and transportation companies have profited from the dissemination of these new ideas. That is how education works out. It is satisfying in itself—and it always pays its way. More ample educational facilities for our colored fellow-citizens will prove an eminently worth-while investment, from every conceivable business as well as social point of view.
Thank you very much.
COLORED-WHITE BOARD SPLIT
(Contnued from Page One)
(Continued From Page One)
school official said it was the duty of the board to provide school facilities to children wherever they are located in the District regardless of racial prejudices. It was pointed out that Mr. Gilligan has opposed every project to advance educational needs of colored pupils when a white whites appeared disgruntled because of alleged property depreciation which these whites imagined they would face if colored residents came into certain neighborhoods. This group that came to the board meeting Wednesday suggestd changes of colored children to meet their approval rather than the approval of the board.
FOUR-ROOM BUILDING
Several plots of land for the proposed school which will be a tour-room buildings, have been purchased by the District Commissioners and others are to be bought for the school.

FITTING TRIBUTE PAID
(Contnued from Page One)
by Congressman DePriest, who gave examples of diversified philanthropy of Rosenwald in Chicago, in the State of Illinois and throughout America. DePriest stated that Rosenwald believed "that all men are born equal to have equal opportunity for education."
Dr. Johnson declared "Mr. Rosenwald's gifts of money to Negro education were the material outflowing of a generous heart, simply and deeply interested in Negro welfare." Everyone who came in contact with him personally knew that he was just as willing to invest his time and energy as he was to invest his money and we have learned long ago to add to our gratefulness for his gifts a genuine feeling of affections for his earnest and continuous interest in every phase of Negro life and welfare.
Like Unto Lincoln
"Insofar as he turned the hearts of Southern white men in public life to have increasing concern for the Negro, insofar as he turned the heart of Negro with gratitude and increasing confidence toward the public life, he has carried forward the work of Lincoln, sharing his purpose and spirit. In coming years, the name of Rosenwald will be remembered by colored and white people along with the name of Lincoln." Dr. Johnson also paid tribute to the honest business methods of Rosenwald.
Letters from Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, and Dr. Robert Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, were read by Rev. R. W. Brooks. Miss Marie L. Taylor, Howard University senior, recited a poem from the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The invocation was said by Rev. W. H. Thomas, and the benediction by Rev. George Bullock. Rev. W. H. Jernagin read Mr. Rosenwald's favorite psalm, while the double quartet from Howard University rendered several musical selections. Members of the executive committee in charge of the exercise were Bishop Jones, chairman; Rev. Brooks, and Rev. H. B. Taylor.

MARK SULLIVAN
WRITES ON NEGRO
INFWENC
(CNS)—That polities is playing
an ever increasing part in the se-
lection of Supreme Court Justices
was the opinion recently expressed
by Mark Sullivan, prominent jour-
nalist here. Mr. Sullivan, who is
considered to be a close associat2
of President Hoover, credits the
failure to confirm Judge John J.
Parker in a large measure to the
active campaign waged by the N.
AACP. His statement is signifi-
cant as indicating the fecling of
mary white politicians toward the
strength shown by the national as-
sociation in this fight, if not as
well giving some indication of, the
opjnions of those close to the Pres:
idént.
‘The part of Mr. Sullivan's article
discussing the N.A.A.C.P, is as fol-
lows: ‘Judge Parker, some years
ago, when not on the bench, had
made an off-hand statement about
organized participation of Negroes
as such in politics—a statement to
which the Negroes themselves. in
that Southern community would
have subscribed. No Southern Ne-
gro, on, his own initiative, would
fave raised any objection to Judge
Parker. But an organization with
headquarters in New York, com-
posed partly of whites and’ partty
of Negroes, called the National As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People, inspired pressure
‘on Senators to vote against, con-
firming Judge Parker. Of the 49
Senators who voted against Judge
Parker, between seven and ten
were influenced by concern for the
Negro voters in their States.
“The episode diq not end there.
It had echoes which tend to in-
crease the disposition of Senators
to act’ in deference to political
presgure. When Senators who had
voted té confirm Judge Parker
came up for re-election, organized
labor and organized Negroes made
war on them. There is not a doubt
that the two combined accounted
for the defeat of Senator MeCulloh
in Ohio. When Grundy, of Penn-
sylvania was up for renomination,
the Negro organization inspired
meetings of Negroes in Philadel-
phia anq exulted over their parts
in defeating Grundy. As recently
as last November when Senator
Baird of New Jersey came up fot
election as Governor of that State
New Jersey saw a strange thing,
meetings in Negro churches to sup-
port a Democrat, the opponent of
Baird.
“The growth of this sort of
thing, the increasing tendency of
the Senate to act on judicial ap-
pointments under political pres-
sure, is explained in large part by
a recent development. Until a few
years ago the votes in the Senate
‘on judicial appointments were in
executive sessions; that is, with
the doors closed and no record giv-
en out. Under that condition Sen-
ators used to have as much pride
in confirming, as much freedom
from political’ considerations 0:
factional pressure as Presidents in
appointing. A few years ago, how-
wer, the Senate made these ses-
sions open and open doors allowed
the political pressure to come in.
There need not be much doubt that
had the vote on Judge Parker tak-
en place behind closed doors he
ond have been confirmed.”

The Rise of Jacques Renard
or
From Kiev to Bagdad on the
Subway
That orchestra music you hear
during the Camel Quarter Hour
Program over the Columbia Broad-
casting System at 7:45 p.m. eas-
tern daylight saving time every
night except Sunday is. inspired by
the baton of Jacques Renard.
It is by the merest chance that
Renard is directing a dance orches-
tra and not accepting the plaudits
of the public from the concert
stage. As a boy in Chelsea, a
suburb of Boston, he was known
as a violin virtuoso. Karl Muck,
then director of the Boston Sym-
phony Orchestra, heard. young
Renard and praised him, But fate
had other plans for the boy.
Renard was born in Kiev, Rus-
sia, a city which witnessed the
birth of several of the world’s
most renowned violinists. His
father, a Cossuck in the service of
the Czar, left Russia when Jacques
was very young. The family set-
tled in the Boston Ghaito and Ren.
ud took up the study of the vio
in.
Jus’ at the time when he was on
the verge of entering upon a ca-
reer as a concert violinist, Renard
came under a new influence. Meyer
Davis, famous dance orchestra
manager, beeen telline him of the
rewards in his field. Renard final-
ly compromised with his musical
aspirations by accepting the baton
of a Boston dance orchestra.
Thus ten years ago, Renard
started his climb in the dance or-
chestra field. He soon organized
his own orchestra and began de-
veloping his own ideas about dance
music. Melody, always melody,
was his thems and he did not lose
it though he passed through storms
of dance music fads. Always his
orchestrations followed the melo-
die themes ercated by the compo-
ser, simply and as beautifully as
possible. strong string section
with a background of low register
clarinets or a saxonhone choir car-
ried the main burden with the muf-
fled drum pouriding an_ insistent,
rkvthmic beat. Renard’s violin
took the solo parts, with the re-
mainder of the violin section play-
ing pizzicatti figures around its
theme.
Boston liked his music and Ren-
ard moved from place to place, al-
ways drawing c-owds. Finally he
opened his club, conducted it for a
few years, then started a beautiful
dine and dance palace, Renard’s
Mayfair. Here che orchestra at-
tracted the attention of the Colum-
bia Broadcasting System and gain-
ed a place as a sustaining feature
on the network.
When the sponsors of the new
Came' program sought an orches-
|tra that could play melodies beau-
tifully, not forgetting the essen-
tial dance rhythm, Renard’s group
fitted the specifications. Renard
moved on to New York and nation-
wide fame.
Renard ranks with Paul Whit-
man as one of the largest orchestra
directors. Weighing more than
300 pounds it is a common oceur-
rence for him to gain or lose as
much as 60 pounds a month. But
the music is in the giant body and
he drills. it, into his organization
and makes it sing through his vio-
lin, Music must be, after all, mu-
sieal, according to Renard’s’ way

COLORED RAILWAY
MAIL CLERKS SHOW
HGH EFFCENCY
ery ae ine
(Editor's Note:—This is the first
of a series of articles to be re-
leased exclusively through the
Associated Negro: Press, com
cerning this highly interesting and
systematized branch of work, and
Mr. Anderson, staif writer, will re-
late next week some incidents con-
ected with the fascinating prob-
lem of sending letters to all parts
of the world—which means much
more than droppirig them in a
mail box; also the parts played by
Negroes in this service.)
Acfording to the results of in-
vestigations made here, it is shown
that colored railway mail clerks
who handle the responsible task of
helping to distribute Uncle Sam's
‘mails in various Railway Post Of-
fices throughout the United States
in an extremely high efficiency
rating.
There are approximately 14,000
‘colored men and women in the U.
S. mail service as a whole, repre-
‘senting a yearly average of $40,-
000,000 in salaries which make
‘them a substantial factor in the
economic existence of the country.
Representing such an income they
are well capable of exerting an
influence upon the financial condi-
tion of the group in different sec-
‘tions of the country in which they
live. A goody number are in the
Railway Mail Service.
Civil Service
To college graduates who are
finding themselves faced with the
prospects of jobs with lesser re-
muneration than those for which
they are trained the Railway Mail
Service, with its maximum of Post
Office Department salaries i be-
coming a very. attractive field. But
due to Civil Service regulations
which govern entrance into this
work there is a difficulty in getting
intd the Service, other than
through the regular examinations.
Many substantial contributions
were made to national life, by Ne-
groes during the past year, and
‘the postal service, of the Negro
group, have played their part in
these | contributions. With their
own national organization, the Na-
tional Alliance of Postal Employ-
es, endorsed by high postal officials
‘who attend their national conven-
tions each year, the group is mak-
ing active contribution towards
the standardization of the branch
of service which is beginning more
and more to recognize the Negro
as a potent factor.
Washington Represented
National officers of the Postal
Alliance represent some of the
best brains in the race, and inci-
dentally hold some of the most re-

ington, D.C., is a clerk-in-charge
in the Washington and Florence
(S.C.) R.P.0., on the finest and
fastest. train’ running southward,
the “Havana Special.” In this
same R.P.O, are several other Ne-
gro clerks-in-charge, Richard A.
Lee, and Garfield Chapman, Mr.
Chapman, has served as a district
president’ of the Alliance; Mr.
Jackson has a crew in which also
run several white clerks. There
are also several second clerks,
whose responsibilities rank next to
those of the clerk-in-charge. This
line is pointed out mainly because
it is one of the heavest mail lines
in the service, and also the longest
run in the service, being well over
400 miles in distance of clerk runs.
At Philadelphia, Harold L. Pil-
grim, national vice-president of
the Alliance, is also head of the
Mutual Post Office Association;
Joseph B, Brown, jr., at St. Louis,
editor of the official Postal Alli-
ance organ, is also a clerk, as well
as being a writer for A.N.P.
William J. Arnold, Atlanta, Ga.,
is a district president, and a clerk-
in-charge in the Atlanta and Jack-
sonville R.P.O., another heavy line,
which is a through trunk from
Chicago and Cincinnati to Florida.
There are countless other in-
stances of colored men who are
serving the United States in re-
sponsible R.M.S. positions.
South Well Represented
The South, despite the ideas of
Jim-Crowism, shows a larger num-
ber of colored R,P.I. clerks, in, pro-
portion to other sections of the
country. Several lines in the south
have a heavy ratio of colored men.
The Wilmington (N.C.) and Au-
gusta (Ga.) R.P.O. has ten clerks-
in-charge, and nine of thenr are
colored, with the majority of the
second clerks being colored also.
The Charlotte (N.C.) and Augusta
R.P.O, also has a higher propor-
tion of colored clerks-in-charge and
second clerks than white. As a
matter of fact there are only two
white clerks on this line, which
hauls a heavier number of pas-
sengers than many through lines
in the south, and is the heaviest
passenger traffic line in the south
‘other than main lines.
Georgia has more colored R.P.O.
clerks than any other state in the
south, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio
and North Carolina, along with
South Carolina all have their num-
bers of colored railway postal
clerks. There are still some lines
which’ are considering “non-color-
‘ed” lines, in that they have no Ne-
gro clerks assigned to them, and
the policy of segregation is begin-
ning to be felt. For instance, the
Goldsboro (N.C.) and Greensboro
(N.C.) R.P.0., which has only
‘three colored ‘clerks now, where
there were at one time eight or
ten, and only two colored clerks-
in-charge. Two of these men are
veterans of the Service, John H.
Lewis, who lives at Greensboro,
and W, T. Wallace, of the same
city. Both have been in the Ser-
vice for periods exceeding twenty-
odd years, and have spent prac-
tically all of that time in the same
RP.O.
Chicago has over 3,500 colored
postal employees, New York City
has near 2,000, Philadelphia 1,500,
and ‘other northern cities show @
similar ratio, without any sub-
stantial decrease in the number of
employees yearly, which indicates
that the service of the colored
clerks must be efficient, or else

Manages Association
The weekly meeting of the Insurance
Managers Association was held at the
Whitelaw Hotel Tuesday. The pro-
gram chairman for the month and the
speaker of the day was Mr. J. E. Hail,
Jr., sceretary-treasurer of the associa-
tion and district. manager for the
Southern Aid Society.
Mr. Hall read and reviewed a copy
of the speech recently delivered over
the radio by the president oi the Perm
Mutual Life Insurance Company. This
proved to be a thoroughly interesting
document, which had to do largely with
safe and profitable investments of the
funds of insurance companies, to which
subject all insurance companies and alk
other large corporations are giving a
great deal of study, It was brought out
that notwithstanding the much discuss-
ed depression, the closing of banks and
the disastrous condition of many other
businesses, life insurance continued to
hold its place in the first rank of or-
ganizations which scrutinize carefully
all stocks and bonds before investing
in them.
Due to the length of the article there
was not sufficient time leit to discuss
properly the paper in all its phases.
The following members were pres-
ent: Messrs. Thornton, Hall, Cunning-
ham, Bradshaw, Pope, Fearing, and

office upon presentation of his check
from the Federal Government for war

limit, $2,500, in postal savings. He then
placed about $1,500 in his pocket, put
$4,000 in a local bank and invested the

Then he bought a large automobile,
which he is unable to drive, and an-
nounced that he was “oft liquor for

COMPANY DIES
¥ With the passin, of the late G.
G. Greenly, vice-president of the
Dollar Dry Cleaning Company on
Seventh street, northwest, Wash-
ington’s business circles sustained
a loss. Mr. Greenly .was connect-
ed fvith the company a little mgre
than three years. He entered the
services of the firm with little
knawledge of the business and
raflidly rose, step by step, to the
plivee where he occupied the vice-
prasident’s chair at tre time of his
death.
Zeon Williams, owner of the
plamt, stated that the firm has not
‘selected a successor to Mr. Green-
Ty, and added that he is experiene-
‘ing some difficulty in getting a
‘penson properly qualified to. as-
ore the duties of vice-president.
hile the promotion of some em-
pleyee may fill the vacancy, yet it
is not improbable that an outsider
may be brought in to assume the
semi-management, it was learned

| After Governor’s Visit
RALEIGH, N.C., (CNS)—A per-
sonal visit to prison by Governor
©, Max Gardner, resulted in a 60-
day respite from sentence of death
for Ernest Cherring, 22-year-old
colored youth, twice convieted of
murder jand scheduled to be exe-
uted last week, Cherring, whose
brother Chevis, has already paid
the suprenje penalty for the mur-
der of an aged postmaster at Kerr,
North Carolina, was determined in
his declaration of innocence. His
brother just before his death had
signed a dying declaration to the
effect that Ernest had nothing to
do with the crime.
‘The Governor's action came at
the last moment last Thursday,
after he had at first refused to in-
tervene in Cherring’s execution
early Friday morning. Lawyers ap-
pointed by the cour to defend the
man, and several representative
colored citizens, led by Lieutenant
Lawrence Oxley, and L. B. Cape-
hart, grandmaster of the Negro
Masons of the State, finally per-
suaded the North Carolina execu-
tive to visit Cherrine in prison. It
was the first visit paid a prisoner
in jail made by a Carolina Gover-
nor since 1929.

THE OWLS FORMAL
By Leonard Richards
I really should be able to write
the nicest, very best story of that
gay gorgeous and grand formal
dance that, was presented Friday
night by the Owls.
‘The beautiful ballroom of the
Masonic was filled to more than its
capacity. The hall was sparkling
with beautiful gowns as couples
swayed to the strains of music by
the Blue Bird Orchestra, Everyone,
and everyone it seems was there, is
still talking of their congenial
host, The Owls,
After the dance officers and
members and their selected guests
went over to the Crystal Caverns
and made whooppee until the wee
hours of the morn,
When all of us have grown old
when youth's bright day and all
have fled and sad eyed age keeps
company with all of us who were
there to gather Friday evening,
we'll look back on our younger
davs, and will sigh and taink of
the Owls formal of 1932,

when the couple married, but
thought the ceremony took’ place

she knew of the marriage was Sun-
day when her sister told her she
was going away. It is thought that
the young couple have been married
for several months before they de-
cided to announce it.
Close friends of the pair were
unaware of the wedding and many
thought they were still on the cam-
pts. Friends said thev had been
sweethearts for three and one-half
years and were frequently seen to-
gether.
Marshall was one of the great
gridiron stars of the past season
a yell as captain of the team, It
was due mainly to his great play-
ing that Howard defeated Lincoln
in the annual Thanksgiving Day
game in Philadelphia.

OPPORTUNITY IN ROANOKEDURING DEPRESSION
First Baptist Church Is Training Its Members To Render Real Service
ROANOKE, Va.—(ANP)—"This is exactly what is being done by the First Baptist Church—We are training our members for real Christian service" asserts Rev Arthur L. James, pastor, in Roanoke, Va.
The depression in church circles is perhaps no less depressing than in business circles and other walks of life now suffering from the effects of the unemployment situation; but down in Virginia there is at least one church and minister who claim a larger, fuller, a more interesting, more useful and a happier life than the life which they experienced in the days of prosperity.
The church already well organized, since the depression has revised and improved its system of operation in such a manner as to make possible the supply of the present needs.
The members of the church who still hold jobs and positions are taught to share their earnings with those who are out of work and in need.
They have been trained to bring regularly to the church articles of food and gifts of money and clothing for the poor, and when these supplies run low in the pantry or store room at the church where they are kept, a special day is designated by the pastor to be observed as Personal Gift Sunday and on that day every individual who attends church whether member or friend is requested to make an offering for the poor. If not in food, in cash. In addition to this plan, the church holds what is known by them as Mid-week Community Service following their regular Wednesday evening prayer service from nine until ten o'clock. This one hour service is broadcast from the church over radio station WRBX. The plans for helping the poor and the less fortunate are announced over the air and appeals to the public are made for help of food, coal and clothing, etc., including appeals, for jobs. All money raised at these services which are usually well attended by both white and colored people is used to relieve the needs of those who are out of employment and have no wa of providing for themselves.

Elk Officials Sound Warning To Bills
C. Tiffany Tolliver, grand transportation commissioner of the Elks, this week issued a warning to all Elk lodges throughout the world against entering into any contract for transportation to the Elks's convention in Los Angeles next summer, until the exact rate had been announced by the Grand Exalted Ruler of the order, J. Finley Wilson.
Mr. Tolliver said that there were a number of alleged agents of the order collecting sums far in excess of the exact cost of railroad fare to Los Angeles, and that as a result, many Elks were being mulcted out of sums ranging from $5 to $15.00.
GREENSBORO, N.C.
(Too late for last week.)
There was much enthusiasm in evidence at the informal dance given by the North Carolina Mutual folk in the Greensboro district Saturday evening at Yates Hall, in honor of their visiting North Carolina Mutual friends from the eastern Charlotte District.
The music was good and the hosts had gathered together such a congenial bunch to meet their honor guests. I say "honor guests" because this band of hard workers were on a tour to the home office in Durham as the guests of the western Charlotte district, over whom they had won in a contest for business last year. Greensboro was greatly pleased to have this successful group of business men and women stop over awhile and took this method of so expressing it.
The eastern Charlotte district includes Charlotte, Asheville and the towns between these two cities, over which Mr. A. E. Spears, District Manager, has the honor to preside. With Mr. Spears were Mrs. E. L. Haynes and Mrs. McKessick, Miss Nore Wilkins, Messrs. C. A. Perry, M. A. Young, G. T. Nash, C. R. Brewington, G. G. Lilery, T. M. Cardwell, R. C. Robinson, McKissick, W. H. Hammonds, Corner, Israel Garrison, P. H. McPhail, C. H. Watson, H. C. Grier.
Other guests present were the Misses Margaret and Verlie Corbett, Winna Carter, Thelma Reid, Elmer Wright, Martha Cooke, Rosa Lee Shelton Annabell Hart, Charlena Sandifer, Gladys Whitfield, Angeline Stewart, Helen Holnes, Stella Gilmer, Lucille Dean, Dorothy Sanford and Margaret Jervais of Durham; M dessames Viola Brannic Miller, L. W. Wooten Naomi Harris; Messrs, J. I. Hughson of Durham, Fronberger, J. L. Pierce, J. A. Streater, Sautler, Mr and Mrs. G. L. Washington, Mr and Mrs. A. Douglas, Dr. A. M. Rivera and Dr. M. H. Lovell.
The hostess and hosts were Miss
Willie A. Culp, Cashier, Mes-
s.
srs. E. D. Broadie, J. B. Hamilton, L. W. Wooten, M. L. Black, L. R. Johnson, R. D. Lester, W. H. Headen, N. L. Gregg, W. K. Wright and D. L. Flowe. The Greensboro Men's Club, that "Tux' crowd, held its regular meeting last Tuesday at the Friendly Inn. This time, Dr. B. W. Barnes and Mr. Llewellyn A. Wise were hosts, and so the men say, they did a good job of it.

OUR WEEKLY PATTERN
267
267—The prime requisite in a negligee is comfort, although alas many of us discover this too late. A negligee should be easy to slip on and off and as pretty as possible.
267 fills the bill. Its brief sleeves cannot restrict arm movement in building up your favorite coiffure. The skirt is nicely full for the long hurried stride of the lady who is "already ten minutes late." Chose a splashy print for the fabric and trim it in contrast. Designed in sizes 14, 16, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50. Size 36 requires 4 yards of 36-inch material or $3\%$ yards of 39-inch material.
Simplified illustrated instructions for cutting and sewing are included with each pattern. They give step-by-step directions for making these dresses.
To get a pattern of this model send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins.
Please write very plainly your NAME AND ADDRESS, STYLE NUMBFR and SIZE of each pattern ordered.
Our new fashion magazine with color supplement and Paris style news is now available at ten cents when ordered with a pattern and fifteen cents when ordered separately.

“Carry your Bible wherever you
go,” were the words of Mrs, A. C.
Dixon, founder and international
president of the Pocket Testament
League, who spoke on the “Value
and Purpose of Pocket ‘Testament
Leagues,” last Wednesday, at the
regular chapel exercise.
The speaker said that the work
of the Pocket Testament League
was based on two verses, “Hold-
ir fast the faithful word,” and
“Holding Forth the Word of Life.”
She further stated that the move-
ment was. simply a plan to unite
the people of any age and of any
Nationality, whether Christians or
not, who will agree to make a habit
of dong two things—to read at
least one chapter of the Bible each
day; and to carry a Bible, or new
testament on their persons, wher-
ever they go.
The purpose of the plan is: for
those who are Christians, that they

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1932
It is often evident and many times have we been cog.
nizant of the fact that the Negro is much too ignorant of
himself and his achievements. We do not feel the joy of
accomplishment as we should, for we are not fully aware of
our accomplishments. ; ;
The history we study in school were written by white
people; too often by those antagonistic to the race. There-
fore, everything we read is colored up or down, according to
the author's prejudices. ‘The result, is that we go through
school studying histories of everybody and eyerything except
ourselves and our accomplishments. It helps to give one that
feeling of inferiority too often in evidence with even our
young people.
Ours is a noble heritage, and*when we fully realize the
accomplishment of the race from Egypt, through Africa down
to America, we have much for which to be proud and enough
to inspire us to more noble accomplishments. ,
And the Negro in America has many things to his credit
to make him feel proud of his forebears. In substantiation
of this assumption the Association for the Study of Negro
Life and History has set aside the week beginning Sunday,
February 7, as Negro History Week, during which the people
of the United States—white and colored—are invited to re-
flect on Negroes who have made history in worthwhile en-
deavor. A pamphlet issued by the association, and from
which we quote, tells “What the Negro Has to Celebrate”:
Negroes participated in the discovery and exploration of
America; they have made a large contribution to its develop-
ment; and as soldiers they have acquitted themselves with
honor in all American wars. Negroes served with the Colonial
forces on land and sea...
In the struggle for the rights of man, Crispus Attucks fell
in the Boston Massacre in 1770 . . . the first to sacrifice his life
for the independence of this country. Peter Salem weakened
the ranks of the British by killing Major Pitcairn at Bunker
Hiil in 1775. Salem Poor showed such valor in his battle at
Charlestown that fourteen fair-minded officers reporteg his
heroism to Congress. Austin Dabney distinguished himself by
exploits of valor in helping to vanquish the Tories in Georgia
+... On the battlefield with Greene and Washington more than
3,000 other soldiers of African blood lived up to this brilliant
record during that conflict with Great Britain,
Negro soldiers stood out with equal valor in the War in
1812, under Perry and McDonough on sea and with Andrew
Jackson on land at New Orleans. In the Civil War the Negroes
furnished 178,000 soldiers to strike boldly at such points ax
Port Hudson, Fort Fisher, and Fort Wagner, and thus helped
to destroy the morals of the enemies of freedom. The fighting
of the Negro at Santiago de Cuba contributed decisively to the
defeat of the Colonial exploitation of Spain. In the punitive
expedition to Mexico in 1916 Negro soldiers emerged as the
heroes of Carizal. In the World War Negroes’ again demon-
strated their courage and bravery in the defense of the ideals
of this country,
May we add to our knowledge of ourselves during the
forthcoming week which shall be devoted to Negro, History.
___ The Negro has made his contribution to the world’s civi-
lization and to America’s progress. Mai we find the real
meaning of this passage in our Bibles: “Ethiopia shall
stretch forth her hands.”
POOR GILLIGAN
The need for an elective school board stood out in bold
“welief, Wednesday, at thé meeting of the Board of Education
at the Franklin building when -a’ number- of white ‘people
protested the purchase of ground for a colored school on
Rock Creek Churéh Road near Allison street, northeast,
It also showed the evil ever present in a dual system
which the fair capital of the most civilized nation of the
globe can boast.
Gilligan, a member of the Board of Education, who has
aos shown the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan toward the
legro showed his cloven foot at this meeting, definitely
Siding with race prejudice protesters of the necesssity for
school facilities for more than a hundred colored children.
Why should these poor, defenseless childben be inconven-
ienced because of race hating, people of the District co-
operated with by a member of the Board of Education? A
man or woman so dominated with race prejudice as Gilligan
demonstrates, has no place on any Board of Education, and
especially not on the honorable’ board of the District of Co-
Jumbia. ate
Mr. Gilligan prominently demonstrated his race antip-
ethy in the notorious Bloomingdale Citizens’ Association's
demonstrations against Negroes purchasing homes in that
section of northeast Washington. He was not only a factor
in leading these demonstrations, but acted as the attorney
in the court cases resulting. from these demonstrations and
attempted evictions.
Every organization of civic associations and others
should join in a demand for his resignation. He should never
have been appointed in the first place, and his appointment
only shows what influence the Klan spirit has here.
Mr. Gilligan has prominently brought the race issue into
the location of this public school, and the Negroes of the Dis-
trict should resent to the uttermost of their ability. It is now
an issue and must not be settled until settled right.
The Board of Education of the District of Columbia
should be too broad, too honorable, and just too full of the
spirit of right and equity to permit a race prejudiced mem-
ber to disrupt its honorable proceedings and disgrace it ir
the eyes of the world.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
A STRANGE QUESTION
Ry A. Elizabeth Valentine
There appears in the current is-
sue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine
an article head—“Is Gandhi Sin-
cere?” by Katherine Mayo. The
Washington Star of last week con-
tained a news article of the same
nature, extolling the virtue of a
young American widow who has
‘one to England to publish a book
dealing with this question. She
bases her conclusions on a trip she
made te India when she was a irl
of fifteer. and on certain incursions
into that country since that time.
She is wise indeed to % to Eng-
land to publish this book, She
will make much more money by
spreading her | propaganda there
than she would in any other coun-
try. »
‘The Caucasion mind has strange
ways of arriving at a given point.—
Sincerity seems a strange issue to
be raised by a race that has cover-
ed its spear points of conquests
with Bibles; and its aggressiveness
and greediness with friendly smiles
and tokens of brotherly love. How
sincere has been the program of
any great white figure of history
in the sense that is involved here—
the sense of being entirely divore-
ed from personal renown and
lory. How sincere was George
Washington? “How sincere Alex-
ander? How sincere any great
figure of world progress? How
many men have ever been known
to refuse the laurel wreath, ten-
dered by admiring countrytmen?
And indeed, how sincere is Eng-
land in her attitude towards India
—in any sense of the word? Is
England holding onto India for
dear life because she is trying to
shelter, protect, and uplift q faller
people? Ix this the real reason?
Would Engiand continue to cling
so tightly if India would become
‘a source of expense to her instead
of a source of Revenue? Woule
England, whoze natural territory
is about the size of one of ow
smaller states, continue her Indiar
policy if she ‘could maintain her
self in all her pomp and glory
without the assistance of India
Why has England so suddenly pop
ped Mahatma Gandki in jail—s
soon after she has been’ force
off the gold standard? Is ther
not much gold, jewels, and natura
wealth in India? Is not the rich
est man in all the world a citize
of India? Ah! Then this talk o
| sincerity! What humbug!
| Suppose America, with all he

-|ish and naive—in the light of th
‘| present harsh, aggressive spirit ¢

in such @ manner.
Neither does the forces of na.
ture produce material wealth in
such a manner. The seed has tc
be planted in a certain kind of
soil and at a certain time, It has
to be carefully cultivated and tend-
ed. Likewise, to grow material
wealth, the seed (the dollar) has
to be invested at a certain time
and in a certain manner and even
more carefully watched in order. to
bring forth “a profitable erop—
dividends.
There is no formula, no set
rules, printed or otherwise, that
will produce “something for noth-
ing” over night. Regardless of
the form that the plan or scheme
might be presented in, if the opera-
tors hold out a lure ‘of an unrea-
sonable amount of “profit” in a
short space of time and all that is
required is “your money” or “your
signature” beware of all such,
Some might say, “Well, the
operators of such schemes are get-
ting something for nothing!” But
are they? No, and a thousand
times no. I've ‘seen thousand of
such" operators and they've all
paid and paid. The toll that they
eventually pay make them realize
more than any others that it is im-
possible to get “something for
nothing.”
All that any one can get from
life is life. If you're enjoying
good health, nice home, content-
ed family life and a little “nest
ege” set aside, don’t sacrifice it
through the lure of “something
for nothing.” .
leges we would be taxed to the ut-
most and robbed of our free wo-
manhood and manhood, entirely
strange, foreign, and bewildering
ways being forced upon us.
We would learn how to be “dis-
creet”—morally clean on the high-
ways and as foul as you please on
the byways.
All men should have the right
to work out, on the soil that pro-
vidence has ‘given him as his own,
his own Idea of Life; and without
any interference from self appoint-
eq overlords. In the Indian situa-
tion drace antagonism is involy-
ed as much as any other issue, and
we as Negroes should keep’ our
minds uninfluenced by any propo-
ganda of the sort being spread.
Our white brother is full of guile
He knows that there is more than
one way to “skin a cat.”
Sincerity is a truly strange ques-
tion to he raised by a race with
such an history.

Tam glad to see the parents put-
ting their views before the public,
Tread the letter last week concern-
ing the matter at Armstrong. Sup-
pose the principal does take away
the books before time: that is no
reason why the work should stop;
he does not do the teaching. Should
not the teachers be so full of the
subject that they could work with-
out books? Also there are plenty
of extra-curricular studies that
can keep children studying much
to their benefit. Then too, I feel
that a child's recor’ should not be
so long neglected that he has to
‘make it up in the last few weeks.
I think there is a system in our
schools that is doing harm to all
the children. That js the honor sys-
tem. A few children who are born
with memories good enough to
memorize the academic matter are
paraded before the student body
and called the honor pupils. The
less fortunate ones( so they feel)
are led to believe that academic
matter is all that counts, while the
honored ones feel that they have all
that is necessary to make a mark
in the world. But when they seck
jobs they find that different quali-
ties are necessary to win. A bank
employer, for instance, does not
care how many Latin’ verbs his
clerk can conjugate or how many

IT CAN BRE DONE
“Wrong-Horse Harry”
Again
By Wm. Pickens
| (For The Associated Negro Press)
Harry L, Stimson grabbed. the
tarred end of the stick in thai
Manchurian mess again,—I mea
from the standpoint of suecessfu
statesmanship, not from the stand:
point of moral idealism. He ha:
given the wily British all the ad-
vantage of us in Japanese senti
ment. Instead of keeping open
door for America in Manchuria, he
has put the Japanese in position
to shut doors in our face, in every
“legal” way. Just as individuals
ean technically “obey the law,’
while committing nearly every
crime in the list, so can the Japa-
nese shut Americans out of many
opportunities, while preserving the
outwarq allegiance to any treaties.
Treaties and laws cannot gain
cordiality and favor for us. The
sentiment of a people must be for
us or against us, and that will de-
termine what we will get out of
thoni.—The British are a shrewd
lot: they waited until we gave
voice to our in-born anti-Japanese
sentiment and bias, and they im-
mediately posed and showed a
“noble” front for the Japanese.
We should have waited until we
found out what England and
France were inclined to do in the
same case. We neeq not follow
their example, but if we knew
what they would do, we could have
taken our own position more diplo-
matically and in more diplomatic
language, and perhaps to better
effect, even if we were opposed to
the view of the other great signa-
tories to the Kellogg Pact. If we
were going to disagree with the
other, there would have been some
advantage in disagreeing with
them After they had spoken or
made their attitudes known,—for
then we -would have appeared
brave and strong and daring, at
least. As it is now, it will appear
to Japanese, Chinese, and even to
many of our own people and to the
rest of the world that the Eng-
lish have given us the air, instead
of our giving it to them. It will
be believed that we were counting
on British support on “Anglo-
Saxon solidarity,” and that we
have been disappointed and let
down. ‘The effect will be against
us, and will lessen the influence of
our pronouncement.
‘The newspaper correspondents
who wrote the instructive and
amusing book called “Washington
Merry-Go-Round,” — have named
Stimson “Wrong-Horse Harrv.”
because he so often and so fatally
picks the “loser” in international
diplomacy: in several recent revo-
lutions in South America, he back-
ed the loser,—taking a position
against the “rebels,” declaring em-
bargoes on sales of arms to them,
—anq those “rebels” turned out to
be backed by’ the greater ‘part of
their own people, threw out the
“governments” which we had sup-
perted and left us out in the cold.
Such governments, coming into
power against our open opposi-
tion, are not likely to maintain the
“cpen door” for us in South
American trade, We did the same
thing in Central America and in
Haiti. We were against the real
choice of the people for the presi-
dency of Haiti, and as soon as the
people got a right to vote without
the force of American marine bay-
onets, they elected a man of their
own choice. ‘
“Wrong-Horse Harry” is a good
fellow, a man of brains and cour-
age, but a darned poor diplomatist,
when he runs up against a shrewd
mixture of English and Japanese,
—The very fact that we are a
dominant power will cause others,
especially those who owe us
money, to “coalesce” against us.
But if it comes down to the seratch,
Harry Old Boy, they will find that
we can get together over here and
make ourselves felt.
The foreigner also opens up in our
locality
And make it a success through our
instrumentality.
If they can do so without being
pressed against the wall,
Then there's no reason why we
cannot do the same at all.
Tt is true we have a few. places
that’s seattered here and there,
But that is not sufficient because
it does not compare
With our population, so let us
start without delay
Because the door of opportunity is
closing every day
Into our faces. and leaving us
standing on the outside
Solet us not stand idly by as
thougiy our hands are tied,
But instead start in right now and
carry it right on,
To the road of suceess and after
we have gone,
Our children will iake it up and be
able to give
It to theirs when they're through
| so that it may always live,

pression to keep them from doing it.
The real, drama is not on yet. When
it comes the rich and the poor will play
leading parts together. Together, mind
you, They have been playing a part, but
now they will be playing together be~
fore the curtain falls on this world
drama, God will direct the per formance.
When’ the real depression comes it is
going to press the devil out of mean
and vile men and it is going to press
sympathy, justice, and helpful co-op-
eration out of men who stand in places
of opportunity.
On with the depression, because it
really means a new dedication of mind
and spirit to the fundamental needs of
the huma nrace,
On with the depression because Gad
alone can cope with race prejudice and
‘man’s inhumanity to man,
On with the depression because it
means that man is sensing the fact that
| he cannot make it without God.
On with the depression because we
jhave found out that material posses-
“sions do not bring peace.
On with the depression because it is
the divine instrument for the promo-
tion of goodwill.
‘The depression is not on yet. It is
‘on our lips and in our lives. It has not
struck our senses nor our souls, You
wait until this prologue of racketeer-
ing is over! You wait until God smacks
“us in the eyes like Jesus did that blind
man! Then will we see cearly—not
men as white nor black nor brown, but
we will see every man as a man, In the
prologue we still draw the color line in
things economic. In the real play God is
going to wipe out all lines, Human
brotherhood is going to be a reality
in this world in spite of the workd, the
flesh and the devil.
When the depression comes it is go
ing to press us until we put material
things in their rightful place and place
the right value upon them and acknow-
ledge the dignity of human personali-
ties.
Have you seen,the army of hope-
-Iess men, women and children crowded
‘into every neglected street in every
‘great city in the Christian nation?
Look at them, Do you realize that man's
injustice ‘to man pressed the majority
of them there? God is going to press
the man who pressed them. Then will
the depression be on. The depression
is going to be a spiritual and moral rev-
olution. God is going to press us untit
we allow every mart a fair chance to
work out his own salvation. Have you
seen the millions of hovels in which
human beings are forced to live like
cattle? Many of these millions are the
victims of gross cconomic injustice.
Have you seen the millions of men who
are boxed off from other men because
they ommitted the ungodly crime of
‘not having been born white? When the
depression is on we will stop allowing
human beings to go to waste, The real
depression will force visionary people
out of the way and create a demand
for people of vision,
When the depression is on, we will
learn to work for group advancement
rather than for indivdual opulence. You
wonder why the depression. Better
ask—why not depression. It is the only
way out and the only way up. When |
God gets through pressing the devil
out of us we will repent in sackcloth
and ashes for our beatsly and unbroth-
erly crime and against members of the
human race in every nation and race,
and in every clime and country. We
will purge our souls with wormword
and clear our minds with actenic. The
fit will survive. Then, and not until
then, we will learn that a just God has
a plan for the human race and His
plan is for the whole race. Then, and
not until then, will we learn that por-
erty is not a virtue and weath is not a
rock ina weary land.
When tu. pression really cémes,
we will get the kind of sight that makes
tts see the things that endure and we
will get the kind of heart that makes
us love the things that abide. A Chris-
tian nation that is far mad is an abom-
ination in the sight of an immutable
“Back to the rock,” commands the
God of the nation.
Why the world-wide depression. it
is coming because we are not om the
right track in race attitude and human
relationships and we know it, but we
are too plain mean, unjust and ungodly
to Fight about face. We are spending
_ Best NEWS OF THE NATO S CaPTF AY
KELLY MILLER Says;
DR. DUBOIS ON THE NON-PAR-
TIZAN CONFERENCE
The current issue of the Crisis
gives an admirable account of the
recent Non-Partizan Conference
and expresses satisfaction with its
findings, save the economic plank,
which it stigmatizes with ridicule
and sarcasm which the editor ust-
ally relies upon as an effective
weapon, I do not in any mood wish
to enter into controversy with the
Crisis or its aimable, or perhaps, 1
had rather say, its estimable edi-
tor. My main purpose is to supply
certain omitted facts which Dr.
DuBois unaccountably leaves out
of his statement of what actually
took place between us. i
T was chairman of the Commit-
tee on Resolutions. It was the plan
of the Conference to have each
discussion group prepare to_re-
sume to be submitteg to the Com-
mittee. As soon as I could reach
Dr. DuBois who read an admirable
paper on the subject, I requested
him to prepare a draft touching
economies. This he readily agreed
to do provided I would furnish him
a stenographer, While the exerci-
ses were in process, I sought out a
stenographer and looked around
for Dr. DuBois immediately after
the meeting was over, but he had
left the Diatform and the room,
and returned, I presume, to New
York. The next morning I received
a telegram offering to dispatch the
draft by wire. I did not deem a
reply necessary as the need for all
possible dispatch was obvious, The
draft forwarded by mail reached
my hands too late for insertion in
the findings. I thereupon wrote Dr.
DuBois to this effect. The Doctor is
also in error when he says that
I asked him if he had prepared an
economic plank. I requested him to
prepare such a plank. The same
procedure had been followed with
all the other groups. So much for
the recital of fact.
Dr. DuBois parades in parallel
columns the economic plank which
is adopted by the Conference and
the one proposed by himself. He is
evidently greatly pleased with his
own handiwork as contrasted with
the “flapdoddle” which expressed
the aggregated judgement of the
Confrence. On this score there is
no ground for the quarrel; for
there must he no disputing about
taste, Every one to his liking. 1 do
ie believe however, that Dr. Du-
Bois's conceit as to the unques-
tioned superiority of his draft will
be shared in by the membership of
‘the Conference or the country at
large. After q lapse of six weeks,
it was reserved for Dr. DuBois
alone to raise a caustic critical
voice with an amazing assumption
mudsill, We have our barns filled and
our hearts empty. That's the cause of
the depression, Materially this is the
richest nation on the globe, but spirit-
ually and morally it is infested with
gilded villany, Injustice, hypocricy and
lawlessness ate the blight and bane of
the nation, Men drive their brothers off
the highway of human progress and
force them into blind alleys, Wealth
covers the grossest vice with green-
backs. The most brutal and loathsome
crimes masquerade in the gilt edged
history of the nation. Hypocricy puts on
the cloak of charity so as serve the
devil more effectively. Men seek pro-
motion and success through the good
name of Christianity.
A philanthropists, faithful mission-
aries, God-called preachers, consecra-
ed teachers and almoners’give their
lives and fortunes to promote economic
welfare and goodwill, but what are
these among so many seli-sceking
Facketeers and intrenched, organized
agencies for the destruction of human
society? What are these against the in-
trepid army of men who build up vast
fortunes on the wreck of other men's
‘hopes, toils and joys?
| Weare playing the racket in the pro-
Jogue. Great organizations offer men
vegetables soup for economic salva-
tion. They give to educate men’s minds,
but refuse thereafter to employ their
hands. They set the schoolhouse on the
hill and the devil's workshop in the
hottom for the graduates of the school,
They treat social maladies but refuse
to remove the causes of them. The peo-
ple in the nation who occupy high places
are largely responsible for these catsses.
Put this down: ‘God is not mocked.
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.”
God does something to man—even-
tually—when man refuses—continuons-
y to do what he can for man and with
“man.
___ Why do we say on with the depres-
sion? We are hard hit. Yes. Millions
of ws will) never live through it, but
this. wicked and unjust world would
not exist long without it. The fact of
the matter is that the people who ars
the hartiest hit by the depression are
going to fight the fight of the brave to
make it through. The spiritual and
‘moral compensations will more than
justify the means. Out of it God is go-
ing to build world brotherhood, be-
cause the foundation is going to be
laid for the glorification of practical
living, wise frugality, high thinging and
nobler living. :
Bear in mind that bread lines, soup
kitchens and community chests as es-
sential as they are in the problems are
‘not substitutes for these fundamental
needs of the buman race. You say feed

of infallibility. The Negro press,
pulpit and other organs of public
opinion and expression have quite
unanimously commended the Com-
mittee’s findings. It looks very
much like a case of DuBois contra
Mundiuni Negrum. I will be per-
mitted to say, in all sincerity, that
I appreciate Dr. DuBois’ point of
view and regard it as worthy of
consideration, though perhaps, not
quite worthy of acceptance, Cer-
tain of his suggestions certainly
would have been ineluded in the re-
solutions, notably the one touching
cooperative enterprise, had it
reached me in time. “As to the
others, I deem them too fantastic
and far-fetched to have any prac-
tical bearing upon the immediate
pressure under which we so heavi-
ly labor. I do not feel that, such
radical or had I better say ad-
vanced economic doctrine expres-
ses the Negro’s sober belief, will
or purpose on economic issues, The
reconstruction of the economic and
industrial order will doubtly go
forward under the operation of in-
herent forces by constitutional and
legal methods. But I qo not believe
that the alliance of the Negro with
socialists, communists or any other
form of radicalism intent upon up-
setting existing law and order will
either help the race or advance the
cause which he espouses, The Ne~
gro should never ally himself with
those who would destroy the law,
but with those who would fulfill
the law. I should think that the
experience of the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People, of which the Crisis
is the mouthpiece, in the Scotts-
boro. embroglio, would make the
editor rather wary about studying
the methods of the Communist:
except to avoid them.
Turn back to page fifty-nine of
the current Crisis. Study these
parallel columns, weigh them, bal-
ance and compare them, ‘Then
reach your own sober conet=stons
as to which more aptly expresses
the better way for the Negro to
pursue in this day when the world
is being battered, as it were, with
the shock of doom. Should he sit
still in the boat or should he rock
it? Do not allow yourself to be ear-
ried away with the glitter of the
editor’s superlative conceit of un-
mache geil in the use of epithet
and inYective, but rejecting all ex.
traneous considerations, study
these parallel columns and decide
for yourself.

As the title implies, this is a

ing well-informed as to the grea!
ancient characters of his race,
‘should read and own. It is print-
‘ed on heavy coated book paper and
is profusely illustrateq and bound
with heavy book cover stock.
A few of the biographie sketches
are completed while the majority
give but a brief synopsis of what
is to appear in a later and com-
plete volume, of the same title.
Even though brief, the sketches
are written in an interesting and
informative manner.
The characters, all of African
descent, are chosen for their ac-
complishments including states:
men of royal houses, soldiers, army
and naval officers, rulers, musi-
cians, poets, writers and some of
the most daring adventurers that
T have ever read of of any color.
The author, Mr, Rogers, who
contributes weekly to the leading
colored papers, is tog well-known
for this writer to attempt an in-
troduction of his works, and even
during the years that Mr. Rogers
‘spent in travel, and continuous re-
seareh, securing the material for
his book, he was constantly assist-
ing the Negro Press by contribut
