Jourdain, Ousted Alderman, First Filed For Election Judge O'Donoghue Seeks To Have Lawyers Save National Benefit CAPITAL WEEKLY Football Stars Stand In Line All Night to Fight For Negro EVANSTON, II. (ANP)—Sellom has this aristocratic North Shore neighbor of Chicago witnessed a week of political excitement rivalling that which followed the action of the Evanston City Council last week in declaring vacant the seat held by Edwin B. Bourdain, Jr., Harvard University graduate, and the first colored alderman ever elected in this city. Evanston, rated one of the world's wealthiest suburbs, elected Mr. Jourdain to its city council from the fifth ward in April, 1931, or a term of two years. Last week, the Evanston city council decided that there had better be a new election in the ward, and declared the seat held by the young Negro alderman vacant. A storm of protest arose, and some of the city's most distinguished white citizens led the way. Hardly sad the council announced that Mr. Dourdain had been unseated, from every section of the city came plans for protest meetings. Prof. A. R. Hatton, head of the department of political science at Northwestern university, and one of America's foremost authorities on municipal government, nationally known as the "father of the city management plan," led the protest. Jourdain Not Blamed The report of the council which naccented Mr. Jourdain was remarkable, in that no blame at all was attached to Mr. Jourdain for the alleged irregularities in his election. The official report of the special council committee which handled the affair went out of its way to state emphatically that the council in no way held Mr. Jourdain responsible. It happened that the action of the council was taken in the very same week when nomination petitions were due to be filed for the oldermanic elections in April, so that as soon as the vote of the council was announced, Mr. Jourdani rose at his desk on the council floor, and announced that he was immediately filing nomination papers for the April election, and (Continued on page two) BOOTLEGGER AND BODYGUARD FINED Trio Sentenced to 60 Days in Jail or Fine of $200 Each An alleged bootlegger and his bodyguard of two were convicted of violating the prohibition law by Judge John P. McMahon in Police Court Thursday and each sentenced to pay a fine of $200 or serve 60 days in jail. A police informer told the court he arranged with Earl Mullen, 2217 Twelfth street, for the latter to deliver three jars of liquor to some men at Thirteenth street and Florida avenue. He said Mullen put the liquor in a sack and instructed Remus Johnson to carry it and ordered Norman Updike to walk along with Johnson. Mullen walked ahead of the others with the police informer. When they arrived at the designated spot they discovered that the men whom the informer had referred were police officers. Both Johnson and Updike told the court that they had no idea that the sack given them by Mullen contained liquor. Taxi Bandits Rob Driver Of Cash and Automobile Willie Long, 22, first block of Mrytle Street, northeast, reported to police that he was bound, cagged and robbed of $5 and his mariacab by five men Saturday night. The men left him lying on the pavement on Fifty-sixth street, northeast, after taking a lengthy ride with him in the cab and taking his money at the point of a pistol. Police have a description of the bandits. Washington Tribune PROTEST "BACK SOUTH PROGRAM" FOR NEGROES Congress Proposes to Pay Railroad Fares of Negroes Into Peonage NEW YORK, Feb. 5—A warning of opposition by the Negroes of the nation to a plan to return Negroes from northern cities to the southern farms, has been sent to President Hoover and to leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives, by the National Association for the Advancem. t of Colored People. The project, outlined in a special Washington dispatch yesterday to the New York Herald-Tribune by Mark Sullivan, is called a plan for the "deportation of Negroes into peonage", in the N.A.A.C.P. letter. The plan is called economically unsound because even the Negroes and whites now on southern farms cannot earn a decent living, discriminatory and heedless of the lynching, mob violence and jim crowism from which southern Negroes have escaped north. The plan suggested as an alternative to the La Follette relief bill, which the N.A.A.C.P. is support for trains to take "indigent Neing, would provide federal funds groes from New York, Detroit, and Chicago back to the South from which they were lured through the ill balanced prosperity of a few years ago." Commenting on this the letter to President Hoover and the Congressional leaders signed by Walter White, says: "The National Association for the Advancement of O' colored People speaking in behalf of twelve million American Negro citizens and in behalf of intelligent and fair-minded citizens of other races, takes this means of going on record most emphatically against any such proposal, for the following (Continued on page two) Two Race Men Announce Man To Run For Congress In Michigan DETROIT (CNS)—Two prominent Negro leaders of this city have cast their hats in the ring for the Republican nomination for Congress in one of the newly create congressional districts here. They are Attorney Charles H. Mahoney and Dr. James W. Amos. Attorney Mahoney has the backing of Dr. Aaron Toodle, president of the Wolverine Republican Club; and, Dr. Amos is supported by State Senator Charles Roxborough. The district in which the two leaders are seeking the nomination is the new First congressional district of Michigan. There is a roughly estimated Negro population of 70,000 in this new district out of a total population of about 380,000. Dismiss White Clerk Who Assaulted Lady Customer ATILANTA, Ga.—(CNS) A white clerk employed at the local store of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, has been discharged, it was learned last week, following his unwarranted attack on a colored lady, who was a customer at the store. The attack was made on the customer several weeks ago when she refused to purchase inferior potatoes and insisted on picking out the ones she would buy. When she refused to accept the white clerk's choice and sought out another clerk from whom to purchase the things she wanted, the white man struck her in the face and pushed her out of the door. Following the assault the matter was taken up with managers of the local A and P Stores here, and the dismissal of the clerk immediately followed.

Johnson, president of Howard University, issued two statements this week defending recent administrative acts at the university which he said had been given "various inpretations" in the press. The first statement refers to the Gaugh affair and says he has been retained by the university because it has confidence in him. The other statement refers to Mr. Cassell and Mr. Hope, which he says was done in the interest of efficiency. The statements follow: "Reports have appeared in the press giving various interpretations of the action of the board of trustees of Howard University in reference to recent charges brought against one of the maintenance employees of the university. The records of the university show that these charges were given careful and ample hearing by the president and trustees; that adequate steps were taken to protect all the interests of the university which were involved; and that this employee was restrained in the services of the university. Whenever any employee, so charged, is restrained in the services of the university, the public may judge that it is because the administration and trustees have confidence in his character and his ability. "Signed, Mordecai W. Johnson, Pres." "Statements have recently appeared in the public press, purporting to explain the motives which prompted the president and trustees of Howard University to transfer the superintendence of buildings and grounds (maintenance) from the office of the university architect to a separate division of the university. This change was made on purely objective grounds, for the purpose of securing increased efficiency through the division of labor. Any other motive that has been suggested is wholly gratuitous and without foundation in fact. The building program of the university has now reached the place where it requires the full-time attention of the university architect and his staff to deliver his work in an efficient manner. The university now has on hand one million seventy-five thousand dollars for three projects of construction, designed to meet existing and urgent needs. The best interests of Howard University require that these projects be completed as swiftly as may be consistent with thoroughness. It is expected that two or three additional projects involving the expenditure of sums approximating one million four hundred thousand dollars may soon be added to the three projects mentioned above. Mr. Albert I. Cassell continues in his original capacity as architect, to carry forward these major construction projects. He retains his original salary as architect, together with an additional stipend for such architectural services as he may be called upon to deliver during the year to the department which superintends the maintenance of buildings and grounds. "Mr. Edward S. Hope has been secured by the university to carry forward the work of supratending the buildings and grounds and of caring for the repairs and renewals of the university plant. During recent years this work has greatly increased in complexity and detail and the president and trustees have judged that the time is now at hand when the entire attention of a full-time superintendent, with a large and able staff is required to carry forward this work with promptness, efficiency and economy. They consider themselves fortunate in being able to secure the services of Mr. Hope. "Signed, Mordecai W. Johnson, President." --- EDITORIAL A Suggested Solution For the National Benefit Problem It is to be regretted that in addition to the financial difficulties involving the National Benefit Life Insurance Company that such differences have arisen among former and present officials so as to impair even more the interest of the policy holders in this company. The Tribune, along with all well thinking people, who have any knowledge whatever of this very unfortunate situation, has a sincere desire to see a solution of this debacle that will at least carry the interest of these policy holders. In a canvass of the litigating officials there appears to be no desire to remedy the situation so as to make possible any suggested program for the rehabilitation of the Company. In this connection, by reason of the Tribune's keen interest along this line, and after considerable research work and thought given to this problem The Tribune ventures to suggest the following program: From a study of the depreciated assets of the company which constitutes its insolvency there are several large items which were brought out in the recent court proceedings in Equity Court. Two of these items involve nearly a million dollars—the Masonic Temple Building at Tenth and U streets in which the company has invested $562,000, and the Balfour Apartment building at Sixteenth and U streets in which the company has invested $260,000; the two items representing an investment of $822,000. There is a movement on foot, on the part of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District to make the local Masonic Temple a national shrine, to be purchased with moneys raised by all the grand lodges throughout the United States. Great assistance could be given in the movement on the part of the officials of the company and those who desire to see this one item liquidated. It appears that such a shrine could be readily paid for by the various grand lodges throughout the country if the present receiver were to make such a sale by entering into a contract with the Grand Lodge of Masons for that purpose. As to the Balfour Apartment House, it has been suggested that if rented to colored tenants, this building would enhance its value and hasten its sale by reason of its tenants being considered objectionable in this particular location. It is further suggested that the matter of the so-called reserve, that under the laws of the District of Columbia, there are probably many hundreds of thousands of dollars carried on the books of the company as a reserve liability which has been set aside voluntarily on the part of the company and is not required by the law under the District Code: Policies written between the years 1898 and 1915 before the company began to engage in old line legal reserve insurance, a period of seventeen years. It is barely possible that the striking off of this item of reserve approximately $1,600,000 of voluntary reserve, from the liabilities of the balance sheet of the company together with the making liquid the $822,000 tied up in the two buildings above referred, (a total of $2,422,000) that the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is not insolvent and can be rehabilitated for the benefit of the policy holders in whom we are all intensely interested. Then to continue the good work done by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company a mutualization of the remaining business will give impetus to its rehabilitation and place the assets in a shape for service so the company can resume the securing of new business.

Wilkinson Also Addresses Them on Negro History An inspired and enthusiastic group, consisting of over 600 students, representative of the Negro youth of local and Philadelphia Schools, were heartily greeted by Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, and a group of men prominent in public life in the Caucus Chamber of the House Office Building, New Jersey avenue and B streets, southeast, Wednesday morning, in observance of "Negro History Week." The delegation making the pilgrimage included students of the elementary schools, junior and senior high schools, the vocational schools, and the Miner Teachers College, Divisions 10-13, and a group of honor students from Philadelphia. The group of students were addressed by Congressman Robert Luce, of Massachusetts Congressman DePriest, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and Dr. Mordecai W.

(CNS)—Registered Negro Democrats in this city were unmolested in the recent Democratic primary elections, many of them voting for municipal and parish candidates. Absolutely no show of racial prejudice or veiled threats were noticeable at these elections. The elections were heralded as eminently fair by Negro leaders here and it is predicted that an especially large number of Negro voters will register in the Democratic primaries to be held for State and national elections this year. Disgust with the illly white activities of the Republican machine in the State is said to be largely responsible for Negro defections. Cambridge Business Man Succumbs at Mass. Home George W.

JOBLESS FATHER BURIES INFANT IN TRASH DUMP Unable to Pay for Funeral Unemployed Man Digs Grave For Baby A pitiful story of an unemployed father who was forced for lack of funds to bury his own child on a trash heap was unraveled before Judge Gus A. Schultt in Police Court, Tuesday morning. The father, Albert Martin, Jr., 24, and George F. Sutton, 20, both of 1218 Thirty-seventh street, were sentenced to serve 30 days each in jail when they were unable to pay $50 fines. The youthful father pleaded that he did not have sufficient money to provide a regular burial. Martin admitted he and Sutton took the body of his week-old baby to a dump in the rear of Georgetown Hospital about the night of October 13. He said they placed it under a large rock and piled trash over it. Police heard of the story from neighbors last Saturday, and began an attempt to disinter the body. Although efforts are still being made there is little hope of success, as workmen at the dump said the body is now at least 25 feet deep in the trash which has been dumped since the burial. The father admitted the act, but pleaded not guilty in court. He told the judge he had been out of work for months and would be unable to pay the fine. The mother of the child Mrs. Bertie E. Martin, and other witnesses testified that the child had died from natural causes. Police were of the opinion that the couple was unable to pay for the burial and provide suitable for the infant.

TEN CHURCH OFFICERS IN STORMY SESSION OUST MINISTER Resignation of Rev. Legins Asked When He and Clan Walks Out of Meeting Baltimore, Md. A smoldering resentment against the Rev. B. J. Legins, pastor of Abyssinia Baptist Church, broke out at a stormy session of the regular church meeting last Wednesday night, when the pastor with about fifty of his followers left the meeting, and it is claimed the church voted to relieve him of all duties. That the church is in the midst of another explosion with a split looming, appeared through the actions of the officers and the greatly excited congregation over the week-end. In the meantime the locks on the doors of the edifice have been changed and the pastor and his followers have been meeting elsewhere in a series of private meetings. Sunday, the Rev. Legins and his followers worshipped with the congregation of Providence Baptist church, the Rev. E. W. White, pastor. At Abyssinia a supply minister conducted the services with the remaining members of the church. The trouble apparently started when officers of the church sought to adjust the church budget to meet declining finances. It was learned through well informed persons that the church officers gave notice to the pastor that the church could not pay salaries and suggested his release. According to information received by a TRI BUNE reporter from reliable sources, this angered the pastor and in return he charged irregularities in the handling of finances. The joint trustee and deacons boards forthwith demanded the resignation of the Rev. Lergins. ```markdown ``` With the demand for the resignation of the minister, bedlam broke loose in the meeting, as the minister, it is said, eloquently asked his faction to follow him from the church. About fifty members retired with him, it is claimed.

In the meantime the board of officers who are unanimous in their determination to cut down salaries and waste, are sitting quiet and saying nothing. Abyssinia Bantist church was organized in 1927 after a split from Perking Square church under the Rev. G. W. King, and after a hectic three years was split again. The Rev. B. J.

THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1932 THE OPENING OF THE BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION President Hoover will officially open the nine-months, nation-wide George Washington Bicentennial celebration at noon (Eastern standard time) February 22, when he will deliver his George Washington address before a joint meeting of Congress, assembled in the House of Representatives in the Capitol. The Judges of the Supreme Court, members of the Cabinet, foreign diplomats and many other distinguished visitors also will be present, and the address will be carried to every corner of America over a nation-wide hook-up. Followin his address, President Hoover will be escorted to the East steps of the Capitol, and will give the signal for the singing of "America" by a chorus of ten thousand voices. It is expected that millions of people will join in this "sing" as it comes over the air. The great chorus gathered at the Capitol will be conducted by Walter Damrosch and will be accompanied by the United States Army, Navy and Marine bands which will play as a unit under the direction of John Philip Sousa, An "inaugural" crowd is expected to be on hand for these ceremonies. After luncheon, President Hoover, accompanied by the members of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission and the District of Columbia George Washington Bicentennial Commission will go to Mount Vernon to lay a wreath on the tomb of the Father of His Country in the name of a united nation. At 3 p.m. there will be exercises at the Washington Monument under the auspices of the various patriotic societies in the District of Columbia. In the evening the George Washington Colonial Costume Ball will be held at the Mayflower Hotel under the auspices of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission and the District of Columbia Bicentennial Commission. No effort is being spared to reproduce the Colonial atmosphere for this occasion. The affair is being managed by experts and every state will be represented by especially invited guests. While the celebration officially opens on February 22, Sunday, February 21, will be an active day in the District of Columbia as well as in every city in America. The United States George Washington Bi-centennial Commission has suggested special religious services for George Washington to be held wherever people gather to worship. Response from the various church organizations to this project has been remarkable. It is probable that practically all of the 232,000 churches will hold special services honoring the First President on this day. A folk-masque written especially for the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission by Percy MacKaye will be presented at Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C., on the evening of February 21. This masque is being produced under the auspices of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission and the District of Columbia George Washington Bicentennial Commission. The masque is entitled "Wakefield," named after the birthplace of George Washington, and portrays in symbolic form the story of George Washington. Five hundred adults and children are being rehearsed for this production and the music will be furnished by the United States Marine Band. The folk-masque is being printed by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission for use in other cities. J. is expected that this masque will be produced in all the large cities of the United States during the Bicentennial Celebration. During the week of February 22 motion pictures depicting principal events in the life of George Washington entitled "Washington the Man and the Capitol" and produced by Warner Bros., will be shown in the Theatres of America as a feature of the Bicentennial Celebration. Hundreds of theatres have already arranged for such a showing, and undoubtedly, practically every motion picture theater in America will be booked to show the life of George Washington on the screen. Congressman DePriest History Week Speaker At Vocational School Negro History Week was observed at the Margaret Washington Vocational School this week by exercises in each room. Congressman Oscar DePriest addressed the students Tuesday. Twenty-five pupils accompanied b Mrs. Pinchback, joined other representatives of Divisions 10-13 Wednesday morning in the observance of Negro History Week in the Caucus Room of the House Office Building. Professor Emmett Dorsey, instructor of history at Howard University, was the principal speaker at the Friday assembly.

I sincerely hope that he has improved greatly by this time and has received my little token. Very truly yours, Mrs. Anna Brooks 816 17th St., N.W. THE GREAT NEGRO SCHOOL MASTERS By Horace Mann Bond (For The Associated, Nerro Press In the celebration of Negro History Week Negro school teachers might well remember the great schoolmasters of their race. Some day one of our normal schools or colleges might well build a Hall of Fame in which the figures and records of these great pioneers would stand as mute testimonials to the need and desire of Negroes for Education. As a beginner, a list of ten great Negro schoolmasters—including several schoolmistresses—is nominated here. 1. John Chavis, of North Carolina. Thousands of devoted white men and women have helped educate Negro children and adults, but since this list includes only Negroes, why not include a school-master who educated white people? Born in 1763 in North Carolina, educated at Princeton university, John Chavis opened a classical school for white boys in Granville, Wake and Chatham counties. Among his students were W. P. Mangum, later United States Senator from North Carolina; two sons of Chief Justice Henderson of the State Supreme Court; Charles Manly, later governor, and numerous other white boys who later became leading figures in state and national life. 2. John Peterson, of New York. Peterson was made principal of Colored Grammar School No. 1, on Mulberry street, New York, in 1836. In 1853 he became principal charge of the first school for Negro teachers in New York, and the first in the United States. 3. Marie Beecraft, who had charge o f the first school for Negro girls, established in 1827 on Dunbarton street, Georgetown, District of Columbia. Born in 1865, Miss Beecraft died in 1833 as Sister Aloysius of the Sisters of Providence. 4—John F. Cook, of the District of Columbia. He taught a Sunday school in the District of Columbia, and was forced to leave Washington in 1834 when riots broke cut against Negro schools. He returned in 1836, and opened Union seminary. He died in 1855. 5—Mary L. Peake, of Philadelphia, a "free woman of colour", who became the first teacher of freed Slaves when a school was opened at Fortress Monroe on September 17, 1861. This was the beginning of Hampton Institute. Mrs. Peake did not live to see the end of the War and the final freedom of her people. 6—William Henry Crogman, born in the Virgin Islands in 1841, died in Kansas City in 1931. Graduating from Atlanta University in 1876 with the first college class, Dr. Crogman was professor of Latin and Greek from 1878 to 1903 at Clark University, in Atlanta, and president of the University to his retirement in 1910. In the opinion of the writer, this was the noblest Roman of them all, a good man and a great schoolmaster. He inspired every one who knew him. Schools with teachers like Dr. Crogman have more than endowments and buildings can give. 7—Booker T. Washington, born in Virginia in 1856, died at Tuskegee Institute in 1915. He taught a rural school in West Virginia, at Hampton Institute, and during the first few years a Tuskegee handled much of the teaching himself. His whole life was an adventure in education. Eulogies of the man are superfluous. 8—William Edward Burghardt DuBois, born on February 23, 1868, in Massachusetts. As a student at Fisk University Du Bois taught vacation schools in rural Tennessee. Of that experience he has written, in "The Soul of Black Folk", the most intimate essay ever penned by a Negro schoolmaster; later at Atlanta University he carried on studies of Negro education which have not been surpassed since, while a teacher there. 9—Fannie Williams, of New Orleans, principal of the Valena C. Jones School in that city. Miss Williams is a worthy descendant of Marie Becraft and Mary Peake. Her school does not teach; it educates, from the tiny tots to the cynical visitors like the writer who once visited that school. 10-Carter G. Woodson, formerly Professor of History at Howard University, inspirer of many able historical students, who has taught a race its history. As author of The Education of the Negro Pefore 1860, as teacher, and as present head of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Dr. Woodson takes rank as one of the greatest of our living educators. a Mildred Duckett. The pupils gave a musical assembly under the direction of Miss J. E. Wormley last Wednesday. J. O. O.

MONROE JUNIOR BOYS CLUB HONOR GRADUATING MEMBERS The Junior Boys' Club of the James Monroe School, which is sponsored by Milton V. Rose, entertained in honor of their club members who were promoted to the Junior High Schools at the school, Saturday, Various games, stunts, songs and other forms of amusement featured the party. A luncheon followed the games. A "Club Night Exercise" is being planned by the club and will be presented on Thursday, February 25. SCOUTS GET THE BREAKS Every once in so often the youth of the nation wags its head knowingly and remarks, "Those Boy Scouts certainly get the breaks." There is a lot of truth in this. Forty-eight boy scouts had a trip to Denmark. Three went on a famous hunting expedition. One went to the South Pole. And now three first-class scouts are to be chosen for trips to Alaska—with all expenses paid. The winners will be carvers of Totem Poles, and the rewards will be trips to the land of Totem Poles. Yes! It pays to be a Boy Scout these days. One loses not' g but has a wonderful opportunity to see and do things that the average boy merely dreams about. Those boys who do a good turn daily are having a great many good turns done to them by an appreciative nation. STUDENTS SEE "SKIPPY" Pupils of Syphax School were guests at a special showing of the picture "Skippy" under the auspices of the School at the Rosalia Theatre Saturday. An Our Gang Comedy was an added feature of the showing. Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds And o'er thy hills and sea Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb, Of glorious liberty. Thy banner, dear to all our hearts, Its sun and stars alight.— Oh, never shall its shining field Be dimmed by tyrant's might! Beautiful land of love, O land of light, In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie. But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons, to suffer and die. Translated by M. A. L.

If it is not right to do it, it is not true to say it. I am master of my tongue. Care and diligence bring success. A kind word is never thrown away. Blessed are the merciful. A word to the wise is sufficient. Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Be ready to smile. The evil that men do, lives after them. Look before you leap. 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. Ask your purse what you shall buy. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Use well your time, so rapidly it flies. It is better to give than to receive. No victory without labor. If a task is one begun. Never leave it 'till it's done; Whether it be great or small 600 Children (Continued from Page 1) on the value of history. Garnet C. Wilkinson outlined the extensive study and survey being made by Negro students in the research of historical facts concerning their race. Declaring that "the responsibility of tomorrow rests on the shoulders of the youth of today" Congressman DePriest asserted that "we should let our historical contribution make America proud." He further declared that the youths are the ones American must depend upon and it behooves them to get all the education Taking as his theme, "The Negro in Congress," Dr. Johnson illustrated the political good received by the appearance of a lone representative of our race in Congress. He declared that DePriest was "the first of a line of those who shall succeed him" and the Negro will not rest until colored districts are so organized as to have their own Representatives in Congress or one who will have their interests at heart. He stated that he believed "the fundamental will and purpose of the American people . . . as to educate the Negroes with every possible advantage." His address drew loud and enthusiastic applause from the audience which packed every inch of space in the Chamber. Kelsey Pharr, honor student of Dunbar High School, addressed the Congressman on behalf of the school group. Vivian Tillman, pupil of the Seventh-B grade of Cardozo Junior High School, presented Congressman DePriest with a basket of flowers on behalf of her school. The program concluded with the benediction by Rev. Walter H. Brooks. The High School Orchestra furnished music for the occasion while members of the High School Cadet Corps under the direction of Captain Arthur Newman, in charge of high school military activities, acted as ushers. The occasion was made one which the children will remember until days of old as Congress DePriest shook the hand of each as they filed past in line. nute, continuing to stir.

Genuine BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENT and SKIN SOAP --- SPORTING NEWS of the DAY New Pennsylvania Member Of Boxing Commission Meet Approval PHILADELPHIA—(CNS) Robert J. Nelson, newly appointed state Athletic Commissioner, has already commenced his duties and won high praise from leading sports writers in this city. Recently Gordon Mackay, well known sporting editor of the Philadelphia Record, white daily here, had this to say about the new boxing commissioner: "Just a few hosannas, coupled with several banzains and a cartload of kudos, for the new boxing commissioner, Robert J. Nelson. Mr. Nelson is a colored man of imposing appearance, with an intellectual cast of countenance that seems to reveal insight and shrewdness. "Since his induction into the billlet vacated by Frank Wiener, Commissioner Nelson has been able to attend some functions in this burg. His method of approach to his duties on both occasions mark him as an exemplar of decided common sense. "We observe the gentleman at the wrestling matches last Friday he sat in the alcove above one of the exits, in company with a friend of his own race. He remained quiet and observant, and was judicial rather than autocratic. He didn't sit at the ringside to disconcert the officials on the mat. "Nelson didn't make himself conspicuous, neither did he try to run the show in official tyranny. He comported himself as all such officials should, allowing the referee and the judges a measure of autonomy that is their right. "Nothing so disconcertes and disrupts an official's work as the presence of his commission superior at the ringside. Instead of pinning his entire attention to the task at hand, the referee or judge, with a commissioner sitting in high estate among the ringworms, is more anxious to please his superior rather than to exercise his own liberty of action." MORGAN HUMBLES ST. PAUL, 36-13 LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The Morgan Bears over-ran a thoroughly humbled and spirit broken Tiger team, 36-13 Thursday. The St. Paul five held the Bears in the early part of the game but when the big team started functioning the Tigers seemed to will before the onslaught. "Red" Alston, Tiger forward, won laurels with seven points while Conrad, huge Morgan stellar capped fifteen points for the Bears. The score at half time was Morgan 20, St. Paul 10. Bt. Paul Bau. R.F.

Death of Barney Dreyfuss May Affect Grays PITTSBURGH, Penna.—(WPS) With the passing of Barney Dreyfuss there is a possibility that the East-West League plans might be affected. Mr. Dreyfuss owned controlling interest in the Pittsburgh Pirates and their playing grounds. Forbes Field. Dreyfuss was an ardent admirer of Cum Posey (who heads the League's Commission) and extended to him favors which he withheld from others. This applied to white owners and promoters as well as colored. It was almost a law that semi-pro and Negro baseball teams were forced to consult Posey in order to secure playing privileges at Forbes Field. About this there was no end of complaints. But the old gent held to his policy and Cum Posey came to look upon the Oakland lot as his home grounds.

Thompson Washington will be represented in the East-West Colored League. This became an assured fact when John Dykes, part owner of the Club Prudhom, okayed the venture in baseball by a company that he is heading. The Washington team will play home games at Clark Griffith's Stadium when the Senators of the American League are on the road. While the East-West schedule is yet in the making it is almost a sure shot that the Washington team will make its bow to the home fans in a series of games May 19. 20 and 21. This is concluded because of the fact that they are the first open dates on the Griffen's schedule after the East-West Colored League gets under way. Six Sunday dates are available for the Washington team and the schedule makers will more than likely slate them all. Associated with John Dykes are Bennie Caldwell and "High Powered" Doug Smith and incidentally it is mainly through the efforts and vision of Doug Smith that the Washingtonians has stepped up into big time baseball. Last season Smith got a hunch that the time was ripe to show the fans of Washington some baseball ala-pro, or after the fashion that the best brown skinned diamond disporters display. And he played his hunch in a manner that would make Ely Culbertson term it a grand slam. Admitting that he was novice in the baseball game, Smith displayed some rare technique in enticing cash customers past the turnstiles and out-smarted some of the old stagers in putting over his promotions. Starting out with some postage stamps and a general idea of where the big clubs could be located, Smith began angling for Sunday attractions at Washington. The tread of circumstances led him to Darby to close the date with Johnny Drew's Hilldale Club. Another Club Needed Of course another club was necessary to furnish opposition and after going over the clubs available it was decided to put the Daisies in against a team that may or may not have furnished enough resistance to make it a real contest. On his return trip to the Capital, Smith got a hunch that the Baltimore Black Sox should be the other club on the diamond when the umph called play.

THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1932 spite the fact that Smith had been informed that the Black Sox played at home every Sunday, he stopped off in the city of crab cakes and monuments and put the talk on George Rossiter, the boss of the Black Sox. The result was that Rossiter hung out the "closed for the day" sign at Maryland Park and trudled his drab hosed crew over to Washington for the day to see the sights. And what a sight, under leaden skies, the fans six thousand strong stormed the gates at Griff's Stadium where the park officials had only a skeleton force of defenders in the office to convert the paste boards into currency. Irate fans all but took the ducats by force and had the office garrison hanging on the ropes when a flock of reinforcements were rushed to the ticket office and saved the day for the strong box. And they had told Doug Smith it couldn't be done! Then what a ball game if Doug Smith had been dealing them from the bottom of the pack, he couldn't have laid out a better spread. Ten sizzling innings before a single run trickled over the platter and when the clerks in the office, who figured it would be just a so-so contest, because of the fact that colored clubs were pastiming, learned it was nothing in the Tenth". They rushed out of the building and over to the playing field, leaving the piles of scads for the janitor to sweep up in a heap. Ten Dollars Needed Ten Donors Needed This and a couple of succeeding promotions by Smith set some of the Washington boys who were in the know class to thinking there was gold in that that concrets enclosure and to have a couple of ringer clubs from the outside toting it off was all wrong and subsequently, a home ball club, the Washington Pilots was launched, on paper. The delegation waited on Smith with the ink still wet on their letter heads informing Doug that he was "major-dommo" of all that he surveyed, but when the delegation was informed that they only needed about ten grand to go with the stationary, the good ship Pilots cracked up before it left the ways. However, John Dykes who specializes in finance and floor reveals has stepped into the breach and with Doug Smith and Bennie Caldwell the Washington entry is IN. Oh! and about the ball club—well that's another story.

State Fight Uphill Battle To Defeat Howard, 25-19 PETERSBURG Va.—Championship hopes of the Virginia State College basketball team were inspired anew on Friday night, when the Hilltopppers handed Howard, conference leaders until then, a 25 to 19 defeat. It was Howard's first defeat of the season. Howard drew first blood, when Sally Hall shot a field goal in the first half minute of play. Immediately thereafter Butler rang a goal for State which was followed closely by another to give the Statesmen the lead. But this lead was not maintained for long as Hall and Taylor put Howard out in front again by field goals from long range. Dabney and Bell kept State in the running, the former ringing two fields and the latter one. Howard led at the close of the half, being on the long end of a 13 to 11 score. It was quite evident from the beginning that the game would be a hard fought battle between two well coached and fast teams. Both teams came back for the second half with great determination and fight. Before many minutes had passed, Virginia State forged ahead when Scott and T. Hall contributed field goals. Once in front the Virginians fought madly to remain there. The guarding was close. On account of the anxiety of the State boys enough fouls were committed to enable Howard to keep in running by free throws. And free throws it had to be for the defense of the Hilltoppers was clicking so perfectly that in all the second half Howard was not allowed to make a single field goal. The six points collected by Howard in the second half came by way of the free throw route. T. Hall led the offense of the Virginians collecting ten points for the high scoring position. Sally Hall of Howard earned the second scoring honors by collecting seven points for his team. Dick Bell again proved to be a valuable asset to his team. His play at guard was easily the outstanding feature of the game. S. Hall, Taylor, and Pinn were outstanding in their play for Howard. **Howard** g. f. t. Va. State g. f. t.

The score was 41-29. The New York team was minus the services of George Gregory, the former Columbia University court star, who led them to victory over the Athenians several weeks ago. Mayer, former Renaissance player, was in a guard position for the Amsterdam, opened the scoring with a beautiful "string music" shot from the sidelines. Wheatley put the Athenians on even terms with a follow-up shot and the Baltimore quint proceeded to pile up a 23-17 lead at half time. With five minutes left to play, baskets by Harris and Scott put the New Yorkers within four points of the Athenians' lead but the Monumental Citizens, largely through the superlative efforts of Clarke, scored in rapid succession to gain a commanding lead. Clarke's efforts accounted for seven field goals and a lone shot from the charity line for a total of fifteen points and high scoring honors. Wheatley closely followed with 12 points while Harris of the Amsterdam dled his team with 10. **Athenians** g. f. t. [Amsterdam g. f. t.

CARDOZO FALLS BEFORE HOWARD The Howard High School team of Wilmington, took the measure of Cardozo High here last week in a conference game by the score of 33 to 14. The battle took place on the court of the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium. At the end of the first half Cardozo held a 13 to 12 advantage. Banson, brilliant Howard center, led the high point scorers with a total of five field goals and one free toss annexing eleven points through his individual efforts. Wells, Cardozo pivot man, was second with four baskets from the floor and one from the foul line for nine points. The only other Cardozo man to tally was Wells who scored two goals and one foul shot. The all-round play of the Howard quint is the last session proved too much for the locals to solve. Cardozo g. f. p. Howard g. f. p. Tibbs, f. g. f. p. Weaver, f. g. f. p. Robinson, f. g. f. p.

Champions Given Second Defeat Of The Season PETERSBURG, Va.—An inspired and determined Virginia State College basketball team defeated Coach Hunt's fast moving cagers in one of the most thrilling games ever witnessed here, on Wednesday night. The final score was 28 to 25 in favor of the Hilltoppers. Thus the C.I.A.A. champions of 1931 were handed their second defeat by a college team in seven years. The Virginia Statesmen took an early lead, when Hall beat Conrad to the first tip-off and enabled Butler, dashing State forward, to ring the first field goal of the game. Two more field goals by Butler followed thereafter, and these coupled with a foul goal by Hall gave the States a seven point lead before Morgan was allowed to score. The Morgan cagers fought hard to overcome this lead during the first half, but as the period ended Virginia State was on the long end of a 15-12 score. Coming back for the second half with fight and determination Morgan lost no time in forging ahead as Saunders and Wilson shot a basket apiece from the field. This put the Hurtmen out in front by one point, where they remained until there were only three minutes to play. In the interim the gai was a thrilling, hair-raising, nip and tuck affair. Both teams guarding superbly, both teams fighting desperately to pull away. But every time one scored the other retaliated. With but three minutes to play Morgan was clinging tenaciously to a one point lead, the score was 24 to 23 in their favor. But a field goal by Scott which was followed by another by Hall gave the Statesmen a sufficient margin to win. The Virginians were led in the offense by Butler who started at right forward for the first time this season, and proved to be the outstanding figure in the victory, getting 15 of his team's 28 points for high scoring honors of the game. Scott, left forward, for State gathered 10 points for second place in scoring. It was the impenetrable defense of the Virginians which held the Morgan sharp shooters in check. Almost all the Hurtmen's goals were shot from long range. Bell and Dabney, State guards, were on top of the ball all the way and their quick passing to their team mates was a feature of the game. Outstanding in the play for Morgan were Wilson and Conrad. TUSKEGEE AND FISK DIVIDE TWO GAMES TUSKEGEE, Ala. — Tuskegee won a brilliantly played basketball game from Fisk University in Logan Gymnasium here Saturday night, with Edward Adams, guard, figuring prominently in the Tiger victory.

HAMPTON WIN IN EXTRA PERIOD Lancaster Puts Seasiders In Lead Over Howard Dribblers By Enoch P. Waters, Jr. HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Tw C.I.A.L.A. a cage circuits topotchers clashed on the Hampton court last Saturday in a fast and furious, pointer-for pointer encounter which taxed to the limit the emotional and lung capacity of the deliriously enthusiastic stands. The 23-23 Howard-Hampton deadlock on the board at the final gun extended the contest into a vicious life-and-death struggle in which the effective Seaside field artillery laid low the Hilltopers by emerging on the long tops of a 27-24 score. From the very outset the rapid pace set by both teams, their equally effective defensive tactics and dexterous floor work and passing, called forth latent and even unsuspected ability. Hampton, by a narrow margin, held the lead during the entire first half, the accurate thrusts of White being counterbalanced by Howard's perfect shots from the foul line. The accounts checked at 13-10 favoring Hampton at the half. The same dizzy pace continued through the second session with Hampton maintaining a precarious lead which Howard, benefitting by Hampton's infraction of court etiquette and occasional twin-pointers, continually threatened. Syphax, from the foul line, during the closing minutes of the fray, dropped a foul which tied up the situation at 20-20. Skipper, a dark horse from Hampton who had replaced Scott in guard, threw the Seasiders two points ahead with a clear shot from the floor. Hall followed with a successful free throw and Syphax galloped the length of the court and bagged a twin-pointer. J. Williams, the Seasiders' tap-off man, boosted the Hampton fortunes a point and tied the score at 23-23 at the time-keeper's gun. Skipper, for the second time untangled the scores in the extra session giving Hampton a two point margin. Howard garnered a single and Lancaster, replacing White whose deadly eye cornered ten tallies, rung up a field goal which threw Hampton three points ahead, a lead which remained static until the close of the engagement. Hall and Syphax of Howard with nine and six points to their credit fell short of the high point honors which White's four twinpointers and two fouls made his. TECH FIVE BEATS DOUGLASS,19-10 Armstrong High School basketeers invaded enemy territory Friday and took a hard fought 19 to 10 victory from Douglass High School team in one of the greatest battles of the high school series. Tech led by the slim margin of one point at the end of hostilities in the first half. The score was 6-5. Douglass holds a 14 to 12 victory over the Washington quint which was earned earlier in the season. The brilliant performance of Hayes and Hager, Armstrong forwards, went a long way towards putting Armstrong in the lead. This pair scored eight and seven points respectively. Douglass' high point men were Briscoe and Landsdowe who tallied four points each. Both teams shifted men and added substitutions in a desperate effort to hit on a winning combination.

Smith, 140, local sulgger, for four rounds, came on with a rush to take a well-earned decision, Monday night, at the New Albert. ‘A capacity crowd jammed the house ang witnessed some of the best scraps seen this seafon, Our Willie started out like a house afire, planting a deadly left all over the features of handsome Harry, and the wise boys beran reaching for their hats and over- coats (if they had coats). Walloping Willie had things as he wanted for three rounds and part of the fourth—then something happened. The wily seashore boy decided to come off the defensive, After he solved the mystery of Smith's southpaw attacks, he startea an offensive of his own, and there was the answer to the decision, Consistently beaten to the punch Willie never could get that lethal jleft to functioning again, A long |right that was alway. inside our boy's left spelled his doom. From the fourth on Willie was never really dangerous; that is un- jless one of those lefts’ should land jsolid, and then—well, it never |landéd, and Sevtt won going away lat the end. It was a great fight, jana .Kayo Willie, though beaten, was anything but disgraced, and [Bane knew he'd been in a fight.

Caroline Snowden the famous colored star is cast with Miss Sidney in this production, which will be shown from Friday through Tuesday. This picture is Paramount's screen version of the story by Ernest Booth, life-term convict author at Folsom prison. It is a gripping romantic drama of two persons who have run athwart the law and presents a cross-section of the real drama of life within the quarters of a great prison. "Ladies of the Big House" follows Miss Sidney's stellar appearance in "Street Scene," a United Artists' production which played the Booker-T Theatre some few weeks ago, for which she was loaned by Paramount. On Wednesday and Thursday, Charles Bickford and Lois Moran will be seen and heard in "Men In Her Life" from the sensational novel by Warner Fabian. This is the story of a debutante who so rashly decides to discover love and live for herself and runs into a lot of adventure. The action takes place in gay places in Paris, in a picturesque French Village and in fashionable New York, with a murder trial providing a stirring climax. ANN HARDING IN "PRESTIGE" AT THE REPUBLIC Striking a new note in the spirit of film entertainment is "Prestige" the new Ann Harding picture which will be shown at the Republic Theatre from Sunday to Wednesday, February 14, 15, 16 and 17. Adolphe Menjou and Melvyn Douglas share leading honors opposite her. Melodrama spirited, fast and gripping is the keynote of the picture. A daring wife fights—for her standards and her man against endless odds. "Prestige" is a story to real, so true your very senses thrill to the drama of this woman's great loyalty. Paul Lukas in his first star role in "The Beloved Bachelor" will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 18, 19 and 20 Charles Ruggles, Dorothy Jordan and Vivienne Osborne aid in support. As "The Beloved Bachelor" Lukas has that "something" that women couldn't resist. A story as tender as a mother's heart. He is loved by many women, but he falls for the innocent charms of an orphan. On Saturday only, Chapter No. 9 of "The Sign of the Wolf" will be shown. BARB. STANWYCK AT THE BOOKER-T IN "FORBIDDEN" FRI. Barbara Stanwyck and Frank Capra have again combined their talents and turned out a picture that is unforgettable. This is "Forbidden," the Columbia picture—a Frank Capra Production—at the Booker T. Theatre Friday, with Adolphe Meniu. Ralbh Bellamy, Dorothy Peterson, Charlotte V. Henry and other excellent artists contributing fine performances. "Forbidden" is a story so true to life that its simplicity and naturalness make a drama far more poignant and powerful than any theatrical pyrotechnics. The story starts on a rav. frivolous note. Lulu Smith. a grub of a small-town librarian, decides to take a fling. She spends all her hard-earned savings on beautiful clothes and a trip to Havana. What she does is the startling, thrilling, surprise climax of "Forbidden," a drama of great power—a love story of great tension—a romance of great beauty. The actinis is without a flaw. Barbara Stanwyck is equal to any dramatic claims upon her. Adolphie Menjou is Bob Grover, Ralbh Bellamy is the other man and Dorothy Peterson is the wife. An adorable baby—Myrna Fresholtz—draws forth delighted ah's. Frank Capra's direction has those natural and poignant qualities that characterize his artistry.

POLA NEGRI and ROLAND YOUNG in "A Woman Commands" at the Howard Theatre for a week, beginning Saturday. LEO CARRILLO IN "GUILTY GENERATION" AT THE BROADWAY Leo Carrillo, whose art is a perfect thing and whose personality is without imitators, comes to the Broadway Theatre Sunday, with Constance Cummings, one of the Wampas Baby Stars of the 1931 crop; Robert Young, the new leading man everyone is talking about, and Boris Karloff, whom they say is being groomed to fill the place left vacant by Lon Chaney's death. The picture is "The Guilty Generation," from a play by Jo Milward and J. Kerby Hawkes and directed by Rowland V. Lee. The story is a tensely dramatic one, presenting the interesting problem of whether innocent members of a family should suffer shame for the guilty ones. If children want to be upright, honorable, honest and live peaceful normal lives, should they be tied to lawbreakers and murderers just because they are their parents' children? Can a racketeer father buy respectability for his children with his ill-gotten riches? Debate On Prohibition Prof. Kelly Miller and Lafayette M. Hershaw were heard in a debate on Prohibition last Sunday evening at the Second Baptist Church of which Rev. J. L. S. Holloman is pastor. Prof Miller discussed the affirmative side of the question, while Mr. Hershaw defended the negative side. A large and friendly audience heard the discussions. MOTT THEATRE ADDED TO THE LICHTMAN'S CHAIN The Mott Theatre, formerly "The Blue Mouse," located at Twenty-sixth and M streets, northwest, will open its doors to the general public on Saturday, February 26, at 2:45, featuring the same class of entertainment as shown in all Lightman theatres. The feature picture, Saturday, will be "Sunset Trail," featuring Ken Maunard, also "Come Clean," Gang Comedy. This theatre was named after that grand and glorious character, Lucretia Mott, a woman of faultless head, thoughtful countenance, beaming eyes and of eloquent speech; a woman of culture and conversant with the conditions obtaining among the slaves; the woman who put abolition on its feet, and in her attack on slavery no abolitionist was more fearless, none more successful in presenting the cause. Three Theatres Give $550 To Chest Special mention is being given to the manner in which the uptown theatres responded during the recent Community Chest campaign. Business organizations were appealed to, as such, and requested to contribute not only firm donations, but the donations of their several employees as a group.

RACE PSYCHOLOGY DISCUSSED BY GARTH RACE PSYCHOLOGY DISCUSSED BY GARTH "Race Psychology" was the subject of a lecture delivered at Howard University on Monday by Thomas Russell Garth, professor of experimental psychology at the University of Denver. Reversing the opinion held in his early investigation, Professor Garth expressed the definite conclusion that there is no racial difference whatsoever in mental traits; that such differences, as mental tests reveal, are due entirely to environmental conditions and education. In discussing his subject, the speaker presented popular, unpopular, and theoretical views, showing the effect of prejudice and tradition in these conclusions. While he admitted environmental factors cannot be controlled, they are not to be disregarded any more than we disregard gravity because of our inability to control Concerning the question of what is race, Professor Garth took the position that neither he nor anyone else could offer an adequate definition. It is a question that even baffles the anthropologists. He quoted Hadden as saying, "Race is but, an artificial concept." Personality, according to the speaker, i. the result of modification through environmental influences. The professor said that the reason that art passes freely from one race to another is that it is universal, with principles that are utterly unaffected by racial contact. Professor Garth told of color preference tests conducted among various races, with a result that the young of all races like the same color, and preferences for different colors in later years result from environmental influences or education. It was also contended that there is no difference between the races in musical talents. The lecture was illustrated by slides, showing the investigations upon which the conclusion of racial equality in mental traits is based. Professor Garth is author of a book on Race Psychology, published by McGraw-Hill Company, 1931, which is regarded as the most definitive work on the subject.

LICHTMAN THEATRE CHAIN ADDS TWO NEW MANAGERS With the taking over of the old Bluemouse Theatre at Twenty-sixth and M strects, northwest, by the Lichtman interest, it has necessitated a shift in managers with two new men. This makes the eleventh link in the Lichtman chain. The Bluemouse or eleventh link will be known as The Mott, named after Miss Lucretia Mott of antebellum days, who labored so stronely for the freeing of the slaves in these United States. The Mott will open Saturday with Arthur Randall, to manager of the Broadway, as its manager. Albert Scott, formerly with the Lightman chain, will itake over the Broadway management. Van Brunner, now at the Booker T. Theatre on U street, will go to Hampton, Va. to take over the Lyric Theatre there, and L. C. Speed, a new man, will assume the management of the Booker T. Mr. Speed is a graduate of Wiley University in Marshall, Texas, and a former student at Howard University. He was recently in the advertising department of the Baltimore Tribune and with the Washington Tribune. Mr. Speed is the second man to go from the Washington Tribune to the Booker T. Theatre. Raymond Jones, assistant operator there, is a Tribune employee. He is making good, and Mr. Speed will have the same opportunity. Theatre Managers Guest To Clarke The Lichtman Theatre managers in their weekly meeting, Wednesday midnight, were the guests of Geo. H. Clarke, manager of Lincoln Theatre, at James' Cafe, 2200 Georgia avenue, northwest. Supervisor Rufus G. Byars presiding at both business and social sessions. This gathering also marked the formal farewell to Van B. Bruner as manager of the Booker T., who is leaving the city to manage the Lyric at Hampton, Va., and the official welcoming of Albert Scott as manager at Broadway, vice Arthur Randall, transfered to the Mott; L. C. Speed as manager at Booker T., vice Van B. Bruner, transferred to Lyric; Trigg as assistant at Lincoln. The joke was well on Manager Clarke in that it had to fall on his turn to be host when new and really sharp appetites were coming in the fold. Everybody was present, including Jas. E. Washington, Rosalia; and E. F. Harris, Olympic, Alexandria. Pageant Attracts Throng At Saint Augustine's Over one-thousand persons mingled among the colorful scenes and gorgeous costumes at the pageant and review held at the St. Augustine Church Wednesday. The feature of the pageant was the scene, "Life is a Bowl of Cherries." Twenty-two costumed tots representing cherries formed a bowl each appearing in order as the pianist, Gladys Davis, played the theme song of the same name. The affair was sponsored by Mrs. Frangina Foote Biddle. Among those to participate in the review were Antoinette and Richardson Zimmerman. Emmett Lucas, Majelle Butler, Rita Buckner, Gwendolyn E. Biddle, Katherine Handy, Pauline Broughton, Marie Dickerson, Evelyn Brown, Mrs. Jones Freeman dancing instructor. Also Mrs. Florent. Myrick and Roberta Tillman.

Mrs. Leona Turner, Mrs. Annie B. Greenfield and Mrs. Estelle Evans were members of the committee in charge of the affair. Bordentown Graduates Found In Varied Pursuits BORDENTOWN, N.J.-The record of Bordentown graduate over the past twelve years conclusively refutes the claim that vocational training debars a student from entering the so-called "cultural occupations", declares Principal W. R. Valentine of the Bordentown Manual Training School. On the contrary a survey of the graduates of the New Jersey institution from 1918 to 1930 shows a much wider occupational distribution than is the case of the average high school student. The survey included 355 men and women who had received diplomas or certificates in that time and it shows that 75 per cent of them are engaged in seventeen skilled occupations. Sixty-one per cent are actually using the training they received at Bordentown. Auto mechanics and drivers are most numerous among the men graduates, seventy-five being engaged in this line of work. Fifty-eight of the 158 women graduates are housewives, which Principal Valentine maintains is very properly considered a skilled occupation where the wife has had special training for her task. Eighteen men are engaged in business or the professions, while thirteen women are teachers or social workers.

Phone, Nat. 9590 HAITIAN CLAIMS U.S. FORCED LOANS ON HIS COUNTRY Brother of Foreign Minister Says Money Was Never Solicited A Haitian citizen charged before the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday that the State Department had forced loans upon Haiti. The charge was made by George Leger, a brother of the Haitian foreign minister. He said, however, he was testifying as a private citizen. The State Department was quick to take cognizance of Leger's charges, issuing a statement that Haiti was never on such a sound financial basis as at present. The statement added that Haiti had no internal debt and the foreign indebtedness on December 31 was only $14,329,161.76. The committee resumed its investigation of foreign loans in order to hear Leger's story. As he took the stand, the Haitian said: "I propose to establish that the Haitian people have never solicited a loan on the American market. "The State Department by suggestions, recommendations and by constant pressure on the Haitian government forced the loan on the Haitian people." Leger said he referred to a $16,000,000 loan by the National City Bank. He said it is now being used by the State Department "for purely political purposes" as a reason for continuing financial supervision in Haiti.

The American financial adviser of Haiti, Leger said, has been an "absolute dictator." "What he says goes," the witness added. Leger said that after the 1917 election in Haiti was supervised by the American Government, the American legation asked for certain changes in the constitution, including one to allow foreigners to hold land. Gen. Smedley Butter, accompanied by a number of Marine officers and with a decree of dissolution, locked the doors of the congress, he said. Since then, he testified, there was no congress until the Forbes Commission visited Haiti in 1930. "So the American Government was in absolute possession and domination of the Haitian situation." Leger said. He testified that Haiti's total foreign debt is now about $14,000,000. Leger said when the Haitian government had a surplus the American financial adviser made it buy back some of the Haitian bonds. Now, he said, the bonds are selling for 65 and the government needs the money. Chairman Smoot asked if he had complained about the purchase of the bonds at the time. Leger said Haiti was under martial law and he knew nothing about the purchase. Leger said the Haitian government might have had a year or two of hard times if the loan had not been made, but would have been much better off without it. He read a letter written by Addison Runn, American financial adviser, in 1917, advising the Haitian government to extend the treaty of American supervision in order to make loans. "As I understand that letter," said Senator La Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, "he told you to make the loan or he could cut off SIFIED RESULTS LIST YOUR SIFIED ROOM in nicely furnished, modern apartment.

(ANP)—Because he was killed in a card game argument, Judge Walter B. Jones held the life insurance policy which Felix Noble held with the Life Insurance Company of Alabama to be void in a decision here Thursday. The policy contained a clause to the effect that in case the insured died from certain diseases or was "killed while violating the law" the liability of the insurance company would be limited; a return of the premiums paid by the insured. Evidence was produced to show that Noble was playing cards for money when an argument arose and one of the other players killed him. This, in the opinion of the court constituted a violation of the law, and Mrs. Noble was only allowed to recover $40 which her husband had paid in premiums. your revenue." In 1917 a treaty was signed extending the American supervision treaty for 10 years, but the loan proposed by Ruan was not made, the witness said. This extension was not known by the Haitian people until 1922, Leger testified. When Ruan was withdrawn by the American Government in 1918, the Haitian government asked to be consulted on the appointment of a successor, Leger said, but the request was never acknowledged and John McIlhenny was sent to succeed Ruan. "The Haitian government was never advised of his qualification," Leger said. "He was the maker of some kinds of sauce." ECTION WANT ADS FOR SALE STORE FIXTURES.

SENSATIONAL RENT REDUCTION Murray Palace Casino on U ST., near Ninth UIAIEEN GREAT ASSISTANCE NEEDED FOR NEGRO HISTORY WEEK By Dr. Carter G. Woodson One of the purposes of Negro History Week is to secure more support for the work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. This organization is not endowed, and only a limited number of persons are as yet interested in this scientific method of approaching the race problem in this country. A friend of the cause, however, is now giving the work a dollar for every dollar given by others. This comes as a challenge to the Negro to do something for himself. The association deserves support because it publishes a magazine, researches in Negro history, directs studies in clubs and schools, promotes the home study of the Negro by mail, produces textbooks on the Negro for schools and colleges, collects and preserves valuable documents of Negro history, supplies libraries with special collections of rare books on the Negro, and educates enterprising young men for service in historical research. To enable the association to carry forward this much needed educational work we are asking every pupil and teacher in the schools of the United States to contribute at least one penny, and as much more as possible during Negro History Week, which begins on February 8. Others in advantageous positions in life are respectfully requested to give larger amounts. The association is fearlessly telling the truth in fighting the battles of the Negro, and the race should support it. We cannot expect others to do for us what we should do for ourselves. In spite of its scant resources, the association has done some things which may seem incredible. During the past few years the staff has collected more than 3,000 rare manuscripts bearing upon the Negro and deposited them in the Library of Congress. There they are now being used by students in this country and others from abroad in documenting the history of the race. Other manuscrip materials of the sort are being added to increase this collection that it may give a new view of the past of the Negro race in order to understand it as it was rather than as the propagandists have portrayed it. It is not a mean achievement, too, that during the last generation the association has been successful in publishing seventeen volumes of a scientific magazine, The Journal of Negro History, which is subscribed to by all of the accredited universities of the whites in the South as well as in the North. 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. The reports and monographs of the association dealing with special aspects of Negro life and history have also been highly evaluated by scholars in this country and abroad. The association renders another timely service in supplying schools and colleges with rare books on the Negro. This particular phase of the work cannot be appreciated, unless we remember that during the years of social repression the Negro has been forgotten by the educators of both races. The schools have books on everything but the Negro. When an institution becomes convinced of the importance of studying the Negro, it usually finds that it has practically no literature to enlighten and guide the student. It is significant, too, that the association has succeeded in awakening such interest in Negro literature abroad. From European universities and centers of culture like those of England, Germany, Austria and Czechslovakia have come numerous requests for the publications of the association, and foreign scholars thus concerned report that they make extensive use of them instructing their students in social science. Similar expressions come from parts of China, Japan and Australia where the study of all races seems to be supplanting the idea of concentrating altogether on the achievements and the program of one particular race. Nothing can do more to continue the effort of discovering the truth about the Negro and popularizing it in the modern world than the education of young men for historical research. For this reason the association granted this year two scholarships amounting altogether to $2,000 to provide such opportunities for Lorenz J. Greene at Columbia and for Rayford W. Logan at Harvard, who are completing the residential requirements for the doctorate in history and political science. Institutions becoming interested in the Negro and having nothing better to use have placed in the hands of the students such pernicious publications as Jcome Down's "Negro in American Life," which teaches by innuendo that the Negro is inferior to the white man, and T. J. Woofter's basis of "Racial Adjustment," which upholds a hard and fast line in segregation beyond which the Negro cannot hope to go. Both of these gentlemen, however, are great figures in what we call interracial co-operation, and Negro schools as well as white institutions have used these books to assist them in carrying out the well defined plans of keeping the Negro satisfied in a certain place. Why not help the association, then, in combating this propaganda? Whatever is contributed should be sent to C. G. Woodson, 1838 Ninth street, northwest, Washington, D. C. Advertise in THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1932 Miss Emma Bernice Smith, who was reported to have changed her name to Mrs. M. D. Dorman in last week's Tribune, is not married as stated. Miss Smith had her name changed merely to read Emma Bernice rather than Bernice Emma. Miss M. F. Dement, teacher at Buchanan school, changed her name to Mrs. M. D. Dorman. The Tribune regrets the error. Peter Richardson (Continued from page 1) Criminal Court. Immediately after the court clerk read the jury's verdict, Richardson gave notice of his intention to file a motion for a new trial. The original bond of $2500 was raised to $3500 and he was released. The jury reached a decision of guilty with a recommendation after six hours deliberation. The jurors retired to the jury room at five o'clock Monday and reached a verdict at eleven o'clock. They were ordered locked up for the night. The conviction carries with it a sentence of one to three years and will undoubtedly bring about disbarment proceedings against the attorney. The lawyer was accused of obtaining, through means of false representation, the execution of a deed, transferring a piece of property in the 2400 block of M street, northwest, valued at $3000, from the hands of Mrs. Alberta Terrell, of 1260 Columbia road, northwest, to his own. Testimony of Mrs. Terrell during the trial contended that Richardson represented the alleged deed to be a "deed of trust." Prior to the actual signing of the alleged deed on December 30, 1930, Richcardson is said to have permitted Mrs. Terrell to read a deed of trust but on that date presented the papers to Mrs. Terrell for her signature in a manner that only the space provided for the signatures of the contracting parties was exposed. In June of the same year, Richardson is alleged to have borrowed a sum of $1500 on the property for his personal use, unknowingly to Mrs. Terrell. William H. Terrell, husband of Mrs. Terrell, discovered that the property was in Richardson's name last September when he went to pay the taxes on it. Defends Self at Trial A sum of $1102 was to be secured by Attorney Richardson for the supposed deed of trust. This sum was to be held intact as an indemnity bond for Albert Brooks, brother of Mrs. Terrell's. Richardson, who conducted his own defense took the stand Monday and told the court that he informed Mrs. Terrell that he would have to take a deed on the property and that the property would be re-deeded to her when the money was paid prior to her signing. He denied that the deed was not fully exposed at the time of signing and told the court he believed he had a right to mortgage the property after a default in the payments of the money by Albert Brooks. While on the witness stand, he was frequently questioned by his associate attorney, Charles Williams. Cross examination by District Attorney Quinn Goldstein revealed that a note made at the time of the transaction, which would show whether or not a "deed or a deed of trust" had been signed, had been missing since September when the matter was first brought to the attention of the District Attorney's office. He accused Lawyer Richardson of "purposefully mislaying that note." Attorney Richardson's argument to the jury in which he accused the witnesses of perjury on grounds of alleged inconsistency of testimony stirred the courtroom. Randall Junior High School Weekly News Release On the opening of the second semester there was held for the new pupils a welcome assembly under the direction of Miss M. A. Milton, a teacher in history. The program consisted of two playlets, one portraying the development of opportunity in t he new world, and the principal agencies operative in the building of the American nation; the other being a selection from Down's dram; "At the Rainbow' End." Conspicuous in the former loomed the character of Lincoln as a moulding agent in American social philosophy, and a welding force between two rapidly diverging and hostile national factions. This playlet was presented by Beatrice Parker and other members of her class. The dramatic selection was performed by Ethel Robinson and Elaine Weyms. On Wednesday during the Guidance Period, a special assembly was held for the boys when Mr. Joseph Drew, physical director of the Southeast Community House, invited the boys of the school to join the Boy Scouts. The Browne Junior High School, formerly under the supervision of Mr. G. Smith Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High School, has just been taken over by its new principal, Miss Velvetia F. Chere. The Browne Junior High School was organized last September as an annex of the Randall Junior High School and comprised the seventh and eighth grades of the Burrville, the Lovejoy and the Deanwood elementary schools. For the first semester of this school year the operation was entirely under the administration of the Randall Junior High School so that the enrollment of the annex of which 165 pupils were at Burrville 261 at Lovejoy and 116 at Deanwood, was considered part of the largest junior high schools in Divisions 10-13. Pending the completion of the new building and grounds, the Browne Junior High School will continue to be housed in the three above mentioned buildings. DR. E. FRANKLIN FRAZIER STUDIES THE NEGRO FAMILY DR. E. FRANKLIN FRAZIER STUDIES THE NEGRO FAMILY NASHVILLE, Tennessee—When Dr. E. Franklin Frazier, Professor of Sociology at Fisk University, whose book has just been published by the University of Chicago Press set out to study "The Negro Family," he could not want for statements to refute, generalizations to ridicule, prejudices to regret or ignore. His first chapter quotes "authorities" of all kinds who from slavery to the present time lumped all Negroesel together in the hopelessness of their family life and sex standards. Faced with these solemn pronouncements Dr. Frazier could not have, uttered Job's complaint, "O, that mine adversary had written a book." Rather, with hand to weared brow, "Of making many books there is no end." But this book is different. It answers false generalizations about Negro family life not with argument, but with a scientific, scholarly statement of fact. It is much more than a study of "The Negro Family in Chicago." It goes far toward answering what the editor calls the basic problem of the family everywhere: "How far are its organization and life determined by impulses in human nature or by the conditions of the economic and social environment?" It just happens that the Negro family affords the best possible opportunity for interesting scientific study, whirled as it has been through slavery to freedom, from southern plantation to port.ern metropolis. Dr Frazier grants from the beginning that Negroes furnish at the present time a disproportionate amount of desertions, juvenile delinquency, illegitimacy in the city of Chicago. But upon subjecting this cross-section of Negro life in America to close scrutiny Dr. Frazier finds conditions that hundreds of casual observations have failed utterly even to want to see. He divides the city into seven zones. To the city came suddenly after the war a horse of rural Negroes with a history making them utterly incapable of a rapid adjustment to complex city life. Slavey had robbed them of native customs and taboos as powerful as any in Caucasian groups. Disorganization of tribal life, begun in slave markets on the West coast of Africa, continued until thousands ( $ ^{e} $ men and women were raped of sex customs and no new ones were substituted in their place. Then came emancipation, releasing still other traditional forms of control with only the free Negroes of slavery days possessing and fiercely trying to have and hold traditions of family life. In time life in the South became stable again but at the cost of resignation to the dominance of the whites. No race consciousness really, but an evaluation of themselves that white men put upon them. Church and school and lodge, however, made for stability. When this peasant group was catapulted into Chicago the result was what one should expect. Like all other newcomers of low economic status their first foothold was in the center of the city where they were forced into association with the most vicious aspects of city life. Gradually as adjustment was made individuals began to move out from the mass as individuals always do when their economic life is more sound. Painstakingly Dr. Frazier followed these families from zone to zone, from street to street, almost from house to house, getting their stories, studying home ownership, pouring over court and school records, watching race consciousness grow as the older citizens were forced at time of conflict to ally themselves with the newcomers. He wisely sees and graphically represents it all not as a pathological phenomenon but as a gradual, certain civilizational process, increasingly stable and increasingly complex. This study will be followed by another of the Negro family in all America. He is accumulating thousands of human documents that illustrate his study, making literature of it. Even in this preliminary volume that must perforce contain graphs, maps, statistical tables that might frighten the layman, there is a running story that holds the attention, convinces and challenges. Dr. Frazier received his formal education in Baltimore, at Howard, Clark University in Worcester, the New York School of Social Work, as fellow of the American-Scandinavian Foundation to Denmark and at the University of Chicago. He has had fifteen years of teaching and educational administration at Tuskegee, Fort Valley, Baltimore, Morehouse, Atlanta School of Social Work and Fisk University. His first research at Fisk was conducted under the Social Science Research Council but he is now a full research professor on the Fisk faculty. He was a contributor to Dr. Alain Locke's "The New Negro," and has made numerous contributions to the Nation, The Forum, Current History, The Crisis, Opportunity, Social Forces and the American Journal of Sociology. He is a scholar and a vital force in Negro life, a dispassionate observer of social phenomenon in his profession and a Negro and man twenty-four hours a day.

There is a total of 33 children attending the school. An actual count revealed that 31 were at their desks Friday morning. There are 99 children in the immediate vicinity of the school coming from distances of a quarter of a mile to nearly two miles, some come from nearly three miles.

Six come from Brooklyn and three are from across the Maryland line. Edwin C. Myers is teacher principal. In protesting against the erection of a building to accommodate children in that section whites argued that the colored school population is decreasing. They also pointed out that it was a growing white section. A representative of Cafritz, real estate dealer, told the board that his company planned to develop the property now occupied by colored into a white residential section. He intimated that this would automatically oust colored families in the area. A survey shows that a lower element of whites live in the vicinity of the school in delapidated shacks and old houses. The colored and white communities are a quarter of a mile apart. Board Split in Issue The decision of the Board of Education to ask the District Commissioners to halt land purchases until a school survey had been made of the Bates road area caused a split in the board Wednesday.

BABY been closed on a prohibition charge. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson told the delegates that he had just passed several white residences that were padlocked by prohibition agents for the same reason. Mrs. Mary McNeill, board member, stated that the matter was more of a real estate proposition than meeting the needs of school children in the District. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, board member, protested against the "grand stand play" of the white group when they applauded a statement by Cafritz's agent that his company owned the houses in which colored persons lived and the families would be ousted. It is the sworn duty of the board to provide school facilities for all children in the District where ever they are located. Race hatred by a group of whites on the same social level with the colored persons whom they seek to segregate is the primary cause for this latest flare in the District. Several organizations and civic associations have sent strong letters of protest to the board and many other organizations will seek to lay the true facts before the board at its next meeting. Others are planning to appeal to the District Commissioners and even to Congress against the action of the board.

North 8995 Only Registered School in Washington Issuing Apex Diplomas TWO 2,000 PEOPLE HEAR OSCAR DEPRIEST AT LYNCHBURG LYNCHBURG, Va.—Fully two thousand people heard Congressman Oscar DePriest at Virginia Seminary speak on the Negro and his relation to the government. The Congressman bagan by emphasizing the importance of the ballot for the Negro. "I do not ask you to vote for any particular party," declared the Congressman; "vote for your known friends," he concluded. The Congressman referred again and again to the value of the ballot stating catigorically that "the only way for the American Negro to protect himself is to vote." Congressman DePriest ridiculed the communists' offer of social equality to the Negro as a decoy for gaining adherents among the race by declaring that he did not want to associate with any one who did not want him. There is nothing to the social equality bugaboo in DePriest's opinion. He said, however, that he accepted all the social favors in Washington as a Congressman and speaks in any place in the South where he is invited because he intends to enjoy every right which belongs to an American citizen. But the Congressman gave his audience a solemn warning against anything communistic. "I do not believe that our government should go into business. I believe in competition," he said. The communists are just like other people on the race question, the congressman said. "After they use us to gain their purpose they would forget all about us," he concluded. Congressman DePriest was accompanied by 'Assistant Superintendent Wilkerson of the public schools of Washington who spoke briefly by illustration on the value of the ballot and politics in securing justice for the race. Congressman DePriest and his party were the guests of President and Mrs. Vernon Johns. A reception in honor of the Congressman preceded the speech and a dinner party followed at the President's home.

CONFERENCE ELECTIONS CAUSE SPECULATION Three Ministers Prominent in General Conference Election Discussion Baltimore, Md. Election of conference delegates both lay and ministerial to represent the many Methodist Episcopal churches at the Washington conference to be held April 5, and the subsequent election of the four ministers and four laymen to the general conference, is fast becoming the topic of discussion among church leaders of the section. Much speculation is rife among prominent church workers as to the delegates from the individual churches and the most logical ministers and laymen to be sent to the general conference from the Washington conclave. Three Ministers Figure Three ministers are already being strongly supported by Prominent leaders, to be sent to the general conference scheduled to meet in Atlantic City, May 1 to 30. Those favorably mentioned so far are the Rev. A. J. Mitchell pastor of the Glenbourne charges; the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, Sr., field secretary of the Board of Home Missions, and the Rev. R. F. Coates superintendent of the Washington district. The fourth minister is yet uncertain, but it is thought by many that, he will be agreed upon before the date of the Washington conference. Attorney Roy S. Bend of Metropolitan M. E. Church, has been mentioned as a possible delegate, but he has indicated his duties of practice will not permit him to leave his office for any length of time. New names of possible delegates are being mentioned each day as the election nears for the various churches. Whites Protest (Contnued from Page One) that his campaign for re-election would start immediately. When it was announced that Mr. Jourdain would immediately campaign again, powerful white and colored groups aligned themselves in his support. In order to gain first place on the ballot for next April, it was necessary that his nomination petitions be filed ahead of those of the white men seeking the same seat. Then white Northwestern University students, including the famous "Pug" Rentner and Jack Riley, of the football team, took it upon themselves to form an all-night vigil, and stand outside the Evanston city hall in line, all day and all night, through a biting snowstorm, in order that Mr. Jourdain's petitions might be filed first, and his name be placed first on the ballot. Jourdain won first place on the ballot and his re-election chances look bright.

Present Officers Of Club Brand Holiday Dance As Commercial --- Protests Back South (Continued from page 14) reasons: 1. "The economic unsoundness of the proposal consists in attempting to return Negroes to communities which they left because in those communities they could not earn a decent living. The Negroes and whites yet remaining on the farms of the South are now suffering from the collapse of the cotton industry due to the boll weevil, drought, and the low price of cotton. To add to their numbers will be merely to add to the numbers already facing starvation. 2. "The argument that Negroes will be "better off, in the farming communities from which they came" entirely ignores the fact that multitudes of Negroes still live in a condition of actual peonage, of debt slavery maintained through commissary stores and the system of share-cropping which prevails, by which Negroes are kept in perpetual debt to their landlords and thus are held bound to the land. This proposal amounts to a deportation by federal subsidy of thousands of United States citizens into peonage. 3. "The argument further ignores the fact that Negroes, like any other group of citizens, are entitled to seek advancement in whatever part of the country they may find it. Why should this proposal to return Negroes to the land be confined to one race. The vast preponderance of those who have left the farms is white. 4. "Besides the economic unsoundness of the project, it ignores the social conditions confronting Negroes in southern communities, which furnished a main motive for their departure. I refer to lynching, mob violence, injustice in the courts, insult, denial of equal educational opportunity, segregation in public places and in general inhuman and degrading and insulting proscription. To propose to return Negroes, against their will, to such conditions is to invite the united opposition of the colored citizens of the nation. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its $27 branches, the Negro press numbering more than 200 newspapers, church and fraternal organizations both north and south, as well as fair-minded Americans of other races, will vigorously oppose any such discriminatory action as that which is being proposed. Every legitimate means will be resorted to in op- LINCOLN BALTO. CLUB DID NOT HAVE DANCE Baltimore, Md. According to a notice received this week by the Tribune, the dawn dance given during the holidays by a group calling themselves the Baltimore Club of Lincoln University was given without the permission of the present officers and members of the college club. The notices branded the intentions of the promoters as commercial and stated the members hoped the infringement upon the name of the club would not cause unfavorable reaction upon the organization. It reads: To whom it may concern: The members and officers of the Baltimore Club of Lincoln University wish to announce to their many friends that the dance given during the past holiday season under the name of the said club was not done with the permission of the present officers of the club. This act was done with the expressed intention of oemmercializing on the name of an organization which has tried to give its guests, one night each year, a few hours of enjoyable dancing. The members hope t hat this unfortunate infringement on the rights of the Club will not cause you to form any unfavorable opinions about this group of men or the organization of which they are a part. posing this economically unsound and essentially vicious method of putting upon Negro Americans even greater handicaps than those from which they are already suffering." YOUTH STABBED IN BACK BY FRIEND NEAR HI SCHOOL Stabbing Follows Slander Of Parent of Injured Young Athlete Baltimore, Md. In an argument said to have been caused by comments concerning the mother of Clarence "Pinkey" Morse, the youth was stabbed in the back Wednesday afternoon by another youth later identified as Roland Wheatley when the two lads came to words on Baker street near Carey. Morse was taken to the Provident hospital by a white salesman whose car was aken after carrying the lad to the institution. The halls of the hospital were crowded as friends and acquaintances of the youth anxiously awaited the lad's dismissal from the accident ward. He was treated by Dr. Johnson of the hospital staff. Friends of Morse were known Thursday to have been out looking for Wheatley and said to have planned to administer the youth a physical beating. The boys are said to be members of rival gangs and figured in the recent war among gangs in the city. Several members of both groups have figured recently in minor charges and created quite a stir among police of the Northwesten district when several of each group were treated at the hospital for wounds inflicted in group fights. Harlem Square was the scene last summer for one of the fracases and one youth was taken to the hospital when wounded in a gun battle a mong young rival gangs. The two youths were well known in local scholastic circles. Morse was a member of the local high school basket ball team and figured prominently in football circleise last season. Wheatley is also a student at the high s school and known among the younger groups. Both lads were implicated some time ago in the theft of a great number of cigarettes from one of the chain stores. Morse was later freed of this charge and Wheatley sentenced one year on the charge. The car in which the Morse youth was taken to the hospital was commandered by a group of his friends according to the driver and owner of the maching, when he left the car to help the youth to the accident ward. It was later found smashed beside a lamp post at Baker and Division streets. He had reported it stolen to the police. He also stated he did not know who he had allowed to have the car. Morse was treated and allowed to go home soon after coming to the hospital. Colored Carpenter Gets Contract On N. Y. "Y" NEW YORK (ANP)—An inspection tour of the frame work of the new million dollar building of the West 135th Street Y.M.C.A., was made last week with representatives of the organization from down town expressing complete satisfaction with the quality and progress of the work. Through the efforts of Rudolph Thomas, membership and employment secretary of the present building, a large number of colored workers were given employment on the structure, including laborers and expert steel workers. Now that the frame work is complete, it is expected that the remainder of the building will go ahead apace. A colred carpenter has been awarded the contract for the carpentry work in the building, which is about the biggest Job any colored contracting carpenter has had in Harlem. Mr. Thomas has exerted every influence to keep colored workers the structure. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL COMMUNISM IS DE BATE AT FORUM. Koger and Ford Give Scholarly Debate on Red Baltimore, Md. Opening the encounter with a frontal attack and following closely with an argument of profound reasoning and scholarly effort, Mr. Robert T. Ford, member of the Douglass High school faculty took the affirmative of the question, "Resolved that it is to the Best Interest of the 'egro that he Join the Communist Party," in the Baltimore forum at the Elk's hall Sunday. Attorney Linwood G. Koger debated the negative end of the question. In opening the meeting Mr. Gough McDaniels, chairman of the forum introduced Miss Hilda Anderson who presided. Miss Anderson announced that 25 minutes would be allowed each speaker for the main argument with a few minutes for rebuttal. From every point of view the discussion proved helpful as both speakers delt at length with the history of the Communist movement and traced is growth both in Russia and this country. Mr. Ford insisted that Communism while in an experimental stage could not prove worse than the present day politics and that the Negro should be willing and ready to experiment with anything that offers a way out of the present ills of segregation and discriminations. He delicared the existing order entirely unbearable and urged that his listeners study and understand the great principles underlying the Communist program that they may better know what to do. Mr. Koger Defends In answering the plea for a plea for a change, Mr. Koger admitted that there ought to be changes in the present order, but denied that the Communist had anything to offer the Negro. He declared the system in Russia was quite different from our own and what might have be en good in that great country would not be best here. He declared the present offer of "equality" nothing but a myth and that only by a change of heart could any such lasting reform take place. 1 "The Communist Party has nothing of practical value for the Negro," he declared, granting that it ha. 50,000 members, what are these compared with the great host of 20,000,000 other voters in America? The Negro must make alliances, its true, but we must seek them with agencies which are able to carry out to a degree at least the many sweet things they pledge us." Takes Fling at Ades Taking a fling at Attorney Ades, Mr. Koger declared that while he was appreciative of the fine aid rendered Jones in that case, that in the man it was a play at sensationism and just another effort to get free advertising from Capitalist papers which he was then seeking to destroy. "Ades and his followers knew that a few lines in the great papers over the country would be read and they thrive by seclusion and the like." Defends N.A.A.C.P. and Henry He charged that the Communist try everywhere the they can to destroy the confidence the Negro has in its own leadership and pointed out the several attacks made upon the N.A.A.C.P. "The organization was not started to throw bombs and get what it goes after by force. It was organized to get by existing law all that it can for the Negro race. I defy anyone who says it has not kept its pledge." Conti- nung Mr. Roger branded as most cowardly the attack made on a fellow member of the bar by Ades at a recent meeting of the Forum, and referred to Mr. Henry as a highly respected attorney and young leader within the race. Both Conrad Berger, head of the Communist Party here and Mr. Ades were present during the scathing arraiment. Both speakers were loudly ap plaued and much interest mani fested in the questions and obser vationas offered.

HAVE YOUR EYES EXAMINED EACH YEAR CHEYNEY GETS $65,205 FOR NEW BLDG. FOR WOMEN CHEYNEY, Pa., Feb.-A new dormitory for women at the Cheyne State Teachers College is not a certainty. Today, in accordo with information received from the State Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg, Pa., Dr. Leslie Pinkney Hill, Principal, announced that the Department has allocated $65,205 to the Cheyne State Teachers College, out of the amount appropriated by the 1938 Session of the General Assembly for capital outlay of State Institutions. The $65,000 will be used to construct a new, building for women. The new building will be located on the south side of the campus and will be modern throughout, containing every convenience and refinement that women may wish. The details of the building are yet to be determined. The general architecture of the new building will be in keeping with the other stately gray stone buildings surrounding the quadrangular campus and will be a real asset to the general appearance of the college grounds which have been greatly enhanced during the past few years.

Peo- ple’s Forum, last Friday a* Sharp Street Church. Speaking on the subject, “Prob- lems of Colored Stuents in White Institutions ara Administrative Solution,” the dean after affirming t) honesty, and frankness with which he would dea) with the sub. ject, emphasized the need for racial cooperation. He declared the University of Pennsylvania has no color prejudice avainst colored students, that the question was Jar ely individual rather than a race question. Prejudice between white and col- ored students is not as great as that between whites. and Jews, said the speaker. He tian outlined a large number of problems which had arisen in individual cases in his endeavor to stress the fact that Prejudice was more a matter of in- dividuals and groups than racial. Problems of students needing help, colored as well as white, as for instance the colored girl who appeared listless and stupid in class and who was found to be overworking on the outside in her endeavor to keep up dormitory problems, those arising from the bey © club rooms, were all discuss ed. Although the dean decried the law prohibiting colored students from practice teaching in colored schools, he stressed his belief that a protest against the tringent rule, would do more harm than good. In upport of his argument against protest he cited the instance of refusal of white girls to remain in classes with colored students. White friends took up the ques- tion after it had been amicably settled by the university with an apology to the colored students by the whites. Subsequent publicity given the affair in newspaper did a great deal to aggravate the situ- ation. The same result would be obtaine if other racial questions, PROTECTED FUNERALS Paseensera Are INSURED when Riding tn the Care of JOHN T.

Dean Minnick at first called at- tention to this type of protest an- tagonistic but later said that he mis understood Mr. Arnold’s state- ment.

In hs speech the mayor lauded the activities engaged in by the Negro business men of the city and said in part: “The Negro residents of Balti- more who come to this exhibit will undoubtedly take great pride, and justly so, in seeing the array of products manufactured or handled ir Baltimore by the colored busi- ness men of this city, The exhibit also gives an interesting outline of the professional ang cultural at- tainments of many of your people. “I sincerely trust that the col- ored people of Baltimore will take advantage of the opportunity to view this trade exhibition. To many of them it will prove en- lightening as to the big advance made by their merchants jn recent years. It is true that the colored people of Baltimore know that there are many fine stores, places of amusement and industrial pro- jects in charge of progressive men and women of their own race. It is also true that many of them do not have a full idea of the compos- ite picture of the accomplishments of their own business men, This trade exhibition has for one of its major purposes the education of the large population of colored people in Baltimore as to the abili- ty and energy as shown by colored merchants in bringing about great- ly mproved display and selling con- ditions as compareg with those of even a few years ago.” MURRAY CASINO Monday, February 15—Bon Club Wednesday, February 17—6 to 10 Matinee Friday, February 19—Regular Whist Club Monday, February 22—Mr. Gre- ‘ware and Club EXTRA COLLECTION ORDER CAUSE OF AME.

Efforts Made To Have Counsel John T. Risher, present president of the company, Just before cross examination began by Judge Daniel Threw Wright, Justice O'Donoughue announced that "we are about to start out on the most acrimonious part of the case, and I am going to ask counsel to confer with me before going further." Following this announcement counsel met in Justice O'Donoughue's chambers where sessions were held Tuesday and Wednesday. Counsel has been in session oft and on since then in an attempt to reach an agreement whereby the interest of the company and the policyholders and stockholders may suffer a minimum loss and efforts made to save the company, which was the largest business in the world owned and operated by colored persons. Tribune Offers Plan In an exclusive interview with a Tribune reporter, Thursday morning at the District Supreme Court attorneys on both sides stated that the interest of the policyholders come first and must be considered in any agreement that might be reached. When told that the Tribune would publish an editorial this week suggesting a method to save the company, all became interested and said they would look forward to the plans offered by the Tribune. The testimony of John T. Risher was the high spot of the week. Mr. Risher reviewed his interest in the company prior to becoming its head. He also told under direct examination by Attorney O'Brien the business history of his life before coming to Washington. His first business venture was in Mississippi where he engaged in the drug business. He came to Washington to accept employment in the Navy Department. While in this position he rendered valuable service which was rewarded on several occasions. For distinguished service he was at one time awarded a cash prize of $1,000 by the Navy Department for certain innovations which saved his department humb sums. $25,000 Brokerage fee He said he became identified with the National Benefit when he was sent for to confer on financial matters. For negotiating a project that led to the company receiving a loan of $450,000 he said he was paid a fee of $25,000. Mr. Fisher said this fee represented his charge as a broker. He also produced some eight or nine checks representing amounts paid him as rental agent for the Masonic Temple. These sums were accounted for in monthly statements submitted to Mortimer Smith, comptroller for the National Benefit. He also related various trips he made to different sections of the country to interest persons and financial houses in the National Benefit. Several checks for expenses on these trips were exhibited. Finances in Bad Shape Finances in Bad Sham. Mr. Riser testifile that he discovered the financial condition of the company was in bad shape and he set about to correct this. He said the overhead was excessive and he discovered that the firm of Miles M. Dawson and Son, acturies, had five men on the National Benefit payroll at a salary of $60 per day. Others were on the payroll for no specific purpose. Roper Agrees to Step Down Daniel Roper, receiver, through his attorney, W. Gwynn Gardiner, told the court that he was ready to step down and make room for any attempt made in which the company would benefit. Attorney Gardiner said that at present the company was on the "verge of a smash." The hearing of the receivership for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company has attracted nationwide publicity.

Optimistic Note An optimistic note was struck the latter part of the week by interested lawyers and Justice O'Donoghue when the latter sought to have the hearing postponed and private sessions started in an effort to save this monument to the Negro race. Hearing in open court will resume Monday, when Justice O'Donoghue will hear what agreement, if any, attorneys have reached. Discharging Married Women Causes Hardship Severe hardship in many cases would result from the displacement of married women workers—this is the conclusion drawn in a survey made by the industrial research department of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. At best only trivial relief could be effected by such a measure. Of the estimated 34,000 Philadelphia families in which a married woman was employed full time, a total of 9,660 had no earnings except those obtained from the full-time employment of the married women. In an additional 1,590 families all the employable members, except the married women, were either totally unemployed or employed only part time. And in the remaining 22,750 families, 5,050 had one or more wage earners totally unemployed or employed only part time, so that individual consideration would have to be given them before any action could be taken to displace the married women workers without causing widespread distress. Many of these families may already be living below the level of minimum health and comfort, and in many others further reduction of family income would immediately result in this condition.

Somewhere in God's great universe thou art today; Can He not reach thee with His tender care; Can He not hear me when for thee I pray? Somewhere thou liyest and hast need of him: Somewhere thy soul sees higher heights to climb, And somewhere still there may be valleys dim That thou must pass to reach the hills sublime. Then all the more because thou can't not hear Poor human words of blessing, will I pray; O true brave heart, God bless thee wheresoever In God's great universe thou art today.

JEWS OF EGYPT ARE COMPARED WITH NEGROES OF AMERICA LYNCHBURG, Va.—A unique comparison of the life and experience of the Jews in Egypt and the Negroes in America was made by PresidentVernon Johns in the Sunday afternoon service at Virginia Seminary, recently. Dr. Johns emphasized the fact that the Negro like the Jew must begin to plan for his own well-being. The Jews and Negroes have had a similar experience as sufferers and slaves. Both races have been despised by their so-called superiors. But the Jews, declared Dr. Johns, had honest leaders who put themselves last and their people first. On the other hand, said the minister, anybody who can live on the Negro is regarded as his leader. The race needs that type of leadership which will remain loyal to the race at all cost. The musical part of the program was furnished by the Court Street Baptist Choir where Dr. Johns was once pastor. Acting Dean W. S. Peyton played several violin solos, accompanied by Miss K. Evelyn Warren, pianist. Sunday's service was the beginning of the mid-monthly services which will be held every second and fourth Sunday each month. "The Negro history and sociology classes at Virginia Seminary sent letters of sympathy and condolence last week to the Rosenwald family. The letters from the sociology class read as follows: "We are exceedingly sorry to learn of the passing of your illustrious husband and generous benefactor of mankind, and we hasten to extend our sympathy to you and your family. We feel sure, however, that you and your family must derive some consolation in this hour of your bereavement from a knowledge of the fact that your husband lived a most unselfish life by donating millions for health, social uplift, general welfare, and Negro education." The history class wrote: "We hasten to express to you and family our great sorrow on learning of the death of your illustrious husband whose unbounded generosity has been a great source of help and inspiration in the welfare of Negro education.

Thornton Addresses Local Insurance Managers At the regular weekly meeting of the Insurance Managers Association held at the Whitelaw Hotel, Tuesday, an interesting subject was introduced and discussed by Leroy W. Thornton, president of the association, and district manager of the Victory Life Insurance Company at Washington. The subject of Mr. Thornton's discussion was "Conservation." He said, among other things that "statistics show that a considerable amount of business is eaten up annually by lapsation, and that lapses usually occur during the early life of the policy." He also stated that companies long ago realized that their relation to the policyholder must be a personal one. The subject was one that has always caused insurance companies considerable difficulty and therefore, the members present joined heartily into a discussion of it. Next week the monthly chairman, J. E. Hall, Jr., who invited Mr. Thornton to discuss the subject above mentioned, will present Mr. Roy M. Johnson, district manager of the Richmond Benefit 'Roy M. ' Johnson, district Industrial Insurance. Morning Star Lodge Elks No. 40 Notes A motion to donate to the Community Chest a sum of $100 was made by Past District Deputy William B. Harris, at the last regular Brightening up the home By Dorothy Snow The Boy's Room F VERY boy wants to express his own tastes and hobbies in the decoration of his room. Of course he collects things—and the wise parent will help him arrange his treasures so attractively that his room will have real personality. The inevitable college pennants and banners, for example, can be grouped on an interesting pattern on the wall, instead of hung hap-hazardly around the room. There should be open shelves not only for the boys' own books but for the stones, marbles or souvenirs that he collects. If he likes making things he may want to build the bookcases or hanging shelves and give them a neatly stained and waxed finish, or paint them a gay color. A novel feature which will please any boy is a bulletin board with a surface of felt, cork or waxed linoleum on which he may thumb-tack newspaper pictures of his favorite athletic stars, movie actors or other heroes of the moment. A large chest will help keep the room orderly, as it can hold the various balls, baseball bats and gloves, racquets, tools and fishing tackle. The attic is often an ideal loca- meeting of the lodge. Boxing, wrestling, skits and musical renditions featured the swoker given at the club house, Saturday, under the supervision of John Janifer. Another smoker is in the making and the athletic committee is urging all members to attend. A campaign for 5,000 members is underway and each meeting night a country store is to take place. The drive began last Tuesday, and will continue until August 2, 1932. Valuable prizes such as hams, shoulders, tea, coffee, sugar, cakes, fruit, flour and other necessities will be given to each lucky member who brings in a new member. Ten prizes are to be given away each meeting night. The drill team of the lodge and Forest Temple Lodge will give its bi-centennial ball on February 22. Daughter Louise Lewis, chairman; Exalted Ruler John T. Rhines, his cabinet and co-workers are striving hard to make this a big affair. J. W.

The forum will be open to women as well as men. The first meeting of the forum will be Sunday, February 21, at which time Professor Jense W. Lewis, of Howard University, will speak on the subject "The Place of the College in the Development of Business Leadership." A general discussion will follow the main address. The forum will be under the direct supervision of the committee on Special Activities, the members of which are A. L. Taylor, Dr. Stephen J. Lewis, James A. Jackson, John F. Bright and Atty. Charles Tome, Jr. The new project is another step forward made under the leadership of M. Grant Locas, who is serving his third term as president of the club. Bone and Cancer Clinic to be Held at Howard The second bone and cancer clinic conducted by Dr. Joseph Bloodgood and his associates, of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Hospital, will be held in the department of pathology of the School of Medicine. Howard University on Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19. Sessions will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Reservations by physicians and pathologists will be limited to sixty. This clinic is one of many given by Dr. Bloodgood in various sections of the country as a part of a program of cancer control. The aim is to keep before physicians and pathologists the latest improved methods of early recognition of cancer and other dangerous tumors, in order that proper treatment may be given in time to avoid suffering and to save life. Overcome By Gas While working in the kitchen of her home, 915 N street, northwest, Minnie Barnister was accidentally overcome by gas fumes escaping from a gas water tank in the room. First aid was given by the No. 1 Rescue Squad, and she was later removed to Emergency Hospital. Girl Drinks Kerosene While playing in her home, 1523 Fifth street, northwest, little two-year-old Marie A. Tyler drank a small quantity of kerosene by mistake. The child was taken to Children's Hospital by her mother, Mary L. Tyler, and later removed to her home. tion for the boy's room. On the top floor, the occasional "rough house" which healthy boys enjoy will not disturb the family. If the room is suitably furnished, the boy or his father can apply wallboard. If wallpaper is used, it should be in a color which does not readily show soil. A small figured pattern is a good choice, for pennants and pictures look best on rather plain walls. If floors are wood they should be stained dark and waxed, so that scars from scuffling feet will not harm them. A gay small rug should be used beside the bed. Linoleum floors are practical and good-looking for the boy's room, and they deaden noise and are warm and resilient. An occasional waxing will protect the linoleum from wear and ingrained soil, and keep its colors fresh and bright. Furniture of sturdy, simple design is suitable. There should be a large table with plenty of elbow-room for home study. The couch or bed may be spread with an Indian rug or any gay cover that does not wrinkle. There should be at least one large easy chair. As to a color scheme, the boy will probably feel like Eugene Field who once said, "Any color—as long as it's red—is the color that suits me best." But he may wish to use the colors of the college which he hopes to attend, or his own school or club colors. Patriotic rooms in red, white and blue are now popular among growing boys. And if your son is airminded, he might like a room in horizon blue and sunshine yellow. NEGRO LECTURES CONTINUES AT COLUMBIA U Dr. Johnson and Dr. Ambrose Caliner to De- liver Addresses NEW YORK, (ANP)—Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, was the guest speaker on February 3, at the first of a series of lectures on Negro life arranged by Dr. Mabel Carney, Associate Professor of Rural Education at Columbia University. Dr. Carney states that these lectures by famed authorities on Negro life have been planned because of the growing interest among people throughout the world in Negro welfare. The series of ten lectures will be held at the Horace Mann Auditorium, Columbia University. "Many interesting facts are revealed in the statistical information gathered by professors and research workers at Teachers' College. We learn that one-tenth of the population of the United States is Negro, that Negroes operate 1,000,000 farms in the country, conduct approximately 70,000 business enterprises, and, before the depression had $2,000,000,000 in accumulated wealth," he added. According to the latest figures, 85 per cent of the American Negro population is still in the Southern States and 65 per cent is rural. The Negro farm dwelling population is now 4,300,000, or 37 per cent. About 23 per cent of the Negro population is illiterate as compared with 4 per cent of the white population, and it is stated that of the 3,226,033 Negro children of school age in the country, about one million do not go to school. The ten lectures announced by Teachers' College are made possible through the aid of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. The subjects and speakers will be as follows: "The Negro in the North."

Among other things, they say that Europe is unable to pay America in money, that this inability of Europe to pay America is the cause of the widespread international depression, and that the inability of Europe to develop the enormous wealth of Africa's natural resources effectively closes an important portal to international commerce and trade. Such a suggestion, to ever materialize, would have to meet the favor of both Europe and America. Whether Europe would be willing to give up any African holdings, even in time of depression, is problematical. It is similarly doubtful whether or not America would be able to see the value of possessions in Africa. Europe could get a new start by giving up territory that it cannot develop, since, at the same time, it loses its staggering war debts. America would gain an outlet for stagnant industry and unemployment. The plan is meritorious. The Amerman Negro should put himself on record as in favor of the acceptance by America of African territory in payment for European war debts. Both the American Negro and his African kinsman would benefit by the establishment of American Democracy in Africa.

American intelligence and wealth can. The American Negro—outside the satisfaction of seeing his fellow man lifted from the miseries of slavery, disease and ignorance—gets an opportunity to reach the top in the world of industry. He is intelligent, but his educated men and women find the high places of American indusery closed to them. The development of an Amreican colony in Africa would offer the Negro, because of his ability to withstand the African climate, the opportunity he does not get in America. The dominating white power behind the American government would—as it always has done in the past—make use of the Negro in case of such an emergency. The American Negro should support any plan that offers to improve the living conditions of the native African, that opens the fields of technical and industrial employment to the American Negro, and that promises the end of war debts and depression. Is the attempt to disarm the world but an impractical dream? The present conditions would indicate that this is true. As long as --- --- P.227 EIGHT The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. suspicion, hatred, greed, inharmony, misunderstanding and aggressiveness are pregnant in the world, nations will only suffer an economic loss by scraping their instruments of warfare. To any rational mind war is a horrible reproach against the entire human race, and pure idealism cannot comprehend a civilization that permits such a crime. Yet common sense teaches that as long as men's Minds remain EDITORIAL FEATURES DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL INCONSISTENT CREDIT! Families, of all races, as well as cities and towns, are now suffering from the use of too much credit. Heretofore, the councilors of various local corporate governments have solved all their current financial burdens through increased borrowings. Like individuals they now find their income greatly curtailed and are unable to meet their obligations. The situation, now so general, should teach our race a great lesson. When it comes to securing, making use of, and living on an inconsistent credit, none can excel us. Maintaining this credit however, is entirely different. No credit can be permanently maintained without a corresponding ability to pay the premiums exacted. A safe rule, among financiers, is that credit for permanent improvements is wise, but that credit for meeting expenses is not only unwise but show; a very unhealthy state of affairs. Applying this theory to our personal affairs we find that there is a great need for readjusting our standards of living. Some may scoff at these words of caution but to them I would suggest that they sit down and prepare a statement, in black and white, showing every item of expenditure that will be required during the next thirty days and then compare that with their in- as they are the catastrophe of war, with its terrifying, consciences, and stupid wastes, is inevitable. ces and stupid wastes, is inevitable. Should all nations of the world destroy all the implements of war within their territories, and the minds of men remain as they are, upon the slightest provocation they would beat their peace time instruments into implements of war again. It is not the means with which to fight but the will to fight that matters. Nevertheless it is good that human thought is turning to disarmament. It is the tiny seed that will bear fruit in the distant future, when men become more civilized. The human race is too far down in the pit of ignorance and savagery to be able to competently handle such an advanced issue. We have just recently learned to cook our meat—some of us still prefer it rare. Our bodies have left the caves behind, but our minds yet remain in their murky depths. We still want to snatch and grab regardless of the other fellow's rights. With all the tremendous strides that humanity has made, it continues to stumble about in the hazy fog of ti' newness of things. We prate much about our civilization; yet the world has known but one thoroughly civilized Being, and we crucified Him. As long as our minds are on a low plane our reactions will be on a low plane and there will be war race hatred, the destruction of the weak by the strong and all such barbarities. It is well to have disarmament conferences, but it is infinitely better for men to learn the lesson that the ages will teach; that conciliation is more profitable than controversy; that unselfishness paves better dividends, both materially and spiritually, but greed; that dishonor breeds suspicion, and suspicion in turn breeds distrust that sets up a barricade to progress. When men become so strong that they can be meek; so true that they can do into others as they would have others do unto them; so truly great that they can appreciate simplicity; and so wise that they can be selfless; then war will disappear from the earth. But many rivers of tears will flow down the -ears, and many wails of pain and agony rend the air before destiny finally succeeds in prodding poor, stupid, slow-tochange humanity into such a degree of civilization. Negro Writes Lincoln Life William E. Lilly, prominent Negro lawyer of Chicago, is the author of a new biography of Abraham Lincoln. "Set My People Free," published by Farrar and Rinehart, Inc. on February 11th. Mr. Lilly is a graduate of Howard University and practiced law for some years in the District of Columbia. He was for a time a member of the County Board of East St. Louis and later Supervisor of the County of St. Clair, Illinois. "Set My People Free" covers those years of Lincoln's life which led up to his presidency and the influences which caused his support of the abolitionist movement. The author says: "For more than a quarter of a century, I have been intensely interested in the strange being who came so opportunely—'Up from prairie cabin to the capitol.' This interest may have been accented by, but certainly was not primarily due to the fact that I belong to the racial group of four million, transformed as by some stupendous miracle from the status of beasts of the field, as the victim of chattel slavery, to that of human beings, and with a qualified citizenship in the most democratic government of the time." This book will be reviewed in this paper. come for the same period. If your expenditures exceed the possible, or probable, income, then you are living on an inconsistent credit and traveling the sure road to bankruptcy, unhappiness and trouble, unless you immediately adjust your living standards to conform with your ability to produce. This argument, of course, is for those who are employed or who have a definite income. The thousands who are unemployed know from experience the truth of these statements and it is safe to predict that when they again join the ranks of the producers that they will not only adjust their expenditures to meet their income but they will set aside a definite proportion of their income to meet just such emergencies as they are now passing through. In business, the companies that are now capable of weathering the storms are those who have operated on a closely budgeted scale, maintaining expenses out of income, and setting aside a reserve and surplus fund. If it will not work in business affairs, or in the administration of governmental departments, certainly, living on an inconsistent credit will not work for private individuals. Before it is too late, analyze your personal affairs and correct the evil of living on an inconsistent credit.

"Les Amis de la Langue franchaise" Meet With Haitian Minister "Les Amis de la Langue française" formerly known as "Le Cercle Francais', met on Sunday afternoon at the Freylinghusen University, 201 T street, northwest. This was the first meeting after the extensive reorganization of the group, with constitution and bylaws drawn by the Haitian Minister, Dantes Bellegarde. The group which has been newly organized will serve as the central headquarters, with similar groups located in other large cities. The following program was enjoyed by those present: Morceau de piano, M. William S. Allen; Allocutor de la Presidente, Mme. Mary G. Brewer; Morceaux de chant, Mlle. Elizabeth Sinkford; Causerie, Dantes Bellegarde, M. le Ministre d'Haiti An interesting feature of the meeting was the exhibition of several souvenirs from the Colonial Exposition, which were brought by Miss Fay Hershaw, who visited Paris last summer. Among the others present were: Dr. Georgiana Simpson, Dr. Henry I. Bailey, Mr. LaFayette M. Hershaw, Miss Zeta Dyson, Mr. N. V. Spratlin, Miss Beatrice Simms, Dr. Anna J.

FOR THIS MONTH Gandhi-Ism and Prayer By William Pickens There are some Negro leaders, of a mystic bent of mind, who are disposed to recommend Gandhi-ism and prayer as sufficient means of remedying the American Negro's societal ills. Those who see in Gandhi' procedure a model method for the solution of the race problem in the United States, are people who reason in shallow analogies, who "think that a social formula when works at one time, in one place, within a given set of circumstances, can be made to work at all times, in all places, against all conditions. And those who "think" that prayer alone will solve any social and economic problem whatsoever, do not think at all. Such people have not carefully read their Christian Bibles, where prayer is invariably coupled with "work," with suffering, sacrificing, paying,—with courage of performance. And as for Gandhi: the man who has organized and inspired the tremendous movement of 360 million people, certainly knows that a leader and his people must not stop with praying in closets and "sacred places," but must go forth bravely into the avenues to struggle. We call it: "passive resistance," but resistance is always active, if it be intellectual and social. Note these differences: Gandhi has 360 millions of people, living in their own separate country, but bedeviled by a few agents of a foreign power; while the Negro has 12 million people, living among 112 million whites who oppose him, more or less. The Negro is not dealing with "foreigner," but with fellow-citizens. Therefore, although the people of India may practice "civil disobedience" and "boycott," if the same weapons are resorted to by the American Negroes as a mass, they would utterly destroy themselves, because their situation is very different. If the Negro of Mississippi start a boycott against working for and trading with white people, or against buying or employing any of the facilities owned and controlled by whites, the Negro race would be the very first to freeze and starve. White Mississippi would be crippled; but black Mississippi would be utterly ruined. Also, Gandhi's people may practice civil obedience with at least some temporary and partial success; such as not paying taxes, refusing to hold office, to vote or to obey the ordinary laws of the British controlled government. Suppose the Negroes of America should not paying taxes, not voting and declining to hold office—resigning as policemen, firemen, clerks, how beautifully they would deliver themselves into the hands of their worst enemies! Inside of twelve months, all their property would be seized for taxes and all the leaders of their small minority would be in jail. The Hindus outnumber the white own-essors in most places more than a thousand to one; the Negro in the United States is outnumbered on the average of ten to one. It is an embarrassment to government in India for the oppressed people to merely "lie down" civilly; it would be a joy to the Negro's real enemies in America to have him "lie down." And as to prayer alone being a sufficient instrument for any people,—that is an insult to the Almighty; there is no pledge, promise nor evidence anywhere that the Deity will go out and do the dirty work for you simply because you are coward enough to want to save your own hide, and stingy enough to want to keep your own dollars. True prayer is not merely silly words and bombastic rhetoric: the man who spends his money and his blood for a cause, is praying the prayer that will be answered. Sometimes the mouth-workers help you by encouragement, but sometimes they hurt you by building up illusions of good and security which do not really exist. All of those who are at all likely to read this, will already have read several times of my admination and high esteem for Gandhi but the Mahatma could not reasonably recommend his program, without modification and adaptation, to the Negroes of Georgia. The American Negro, situated as he is, must practice a strict and rational civil obedience, and instead of the boycott he must use cooperation with that minority of the white race which sees the oneness of his fundamental interests with their best interests. Those who are eloquently recommending the opposite course to him are mere lung-thinkers. When I called then "lung-thinkers" in Syracuse, a quick-witted woman said: "no, their thoughts are not so deep as the lungs: they are tongue-thinkers." THE FIRST USE OF CHOCO- LATE AS A BEVERAGE Montezuma—the "Great Lord of the Oztecs," was the first known Ruler to adopt chocolate as a drink. It is said that six of the most beautiful women in his country were always held in attendance to serve Montezuma his chocolate. It was flavored with vanilla and Chilli peppers until a Spanish Nun conceive, the idea of sweetening it with sugar, then almost immediately the drink became the rage of all Europe. A Swedish scientist "Linneaus" christened the drink "Theo Broma," a Greek word meaning "Food of the Gods." PLAIN TALK By A. B. KOGER Ye Ole Barber Shop— So merrily the old customs and things go on and new things take their places. Take for instance the barber shop. Once upon a time a mere man could retire there and tell lies and talk all kinds of smutty talk and tell all the scandal of the alleys and show what a darn fool he was and how little he knew about the world at large, and this without molestation. But alas! Women have invaded this sanctum sanctorium and this place is safe no longer. The gossip now is about Princess Eugenia hats, and divorces, and the like that women discuss and love to think upon. To many of us the passing of the old time barber shop is such as the passing of a piague. The old time fellows who had razors as dull as a hoe and mugs that were never washed out and olive drape towels that were used for a week at a time, had to give place to the modern methods and demands for health. We are glad, to be sure, that they are gone, but we should erect a monument to those old heroes who conducted these public forums and club houses in one. After the church and lodge rooms, the old-fashioned barber shops with their weekly and daily newspapers and with the talking old proprietor who know everything in politics, religion and law—these antiquated places have done more to educate and train our people than any other source. Again I say there ought to be a monument to these pioneers in public speaking and entertainment. Smoke. There Must Be Fire— Smoke, There Must Be Fire It's just too bad that educated men and women can't conduct a thing without such a fuss and furore. Take Howard University for instance. No where within the United States is there to be found such an array of learned Negroes. Instead of the peaceable and lovely place of learning there is that disturbed and unsettled state of affairs that make us ashamed to be called Howardites. Surely there must be something wrong. Without any attempt to place the blame, it must be realized that it's not to the best interest of student-life to see day in and day out some kind of a charge or countercharge hurled at the administration or some outsider. There is smoke at Howard, plenty of smoke. Undoubtedly there must be fire and the sooner the thing is gone into and the question of blame is fixed, the sooner the results will prove favorable. Not alone are the students affected, the alumni as well are becoming more and more indifferent to Howard's needs and program. Nor can an administration fail to heed such telltale indications. There must be a new program immediately inaugurated at Howard University or there must be a new administration. The present administration must in some way inspire confidence. It must insure peace and harmony. It must reclaim the confidence of alumni, students and teaching force. It must do more than talk. It must get results. There is plenty of smoke at Howard University. Unquestionably there must be too much fire. An Insult to Rosenwald- Some hundreds of people crowded into Bethel Church in Baltimore to pay a tribute to the memory of Julius Rosenwald. As I sat there and looked at that motley crowd, I could not help but think of the mockery and hypocracy of many of those would-be hero worshippers. Numbers of that crowd had made bona fide pledges to the Y. M. C. A. and Provident Hospital and no doubt other institutions which Mr. Rosenwald was interested in, and had defaulted in those pledges and now dare come to testify to their love and esteem for this great man. I could not help but say to myself, "If in earnest about your love, go back to thy work and pay the pledges that you made that the great work he helped to plan and carry out shall not perish." The greatest thing in the world is a man's word of honor. When we have destroyed this we have killed our better selves. Just as a matter of decency and common sense Negroes should stop making pledges that they have no intention of fulfilling, or cannot reasonably hope to perform. Better to say $5.00 and pay it than to say in a loud voice one hundred and not pay the first nickle. Again I say those who really wish to honor Rosenwald may do so in truth by making and paying pledges to maintain the great work which he gave to help establish.

The incoming Congress will, in all probability, be of the same political complexion as the new administration. According to the new apportionment, the size of the House is to remain at its present strength of 435 members. This distribution would allocate 280,000 constituents per member, instead of 211,000, as at present. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago a Baltimore contain a number of Negroes sufficient to make a majority of a congressional unit, provided they were all concentrated in one district. This is far from the case. Chicago is the only city where this is so. New York might have been so distracted as to give the Negro a congressional majority, but the political manipulators maneuvered it otherwise. It is practically though not absolutely necessary, that the Negro should numerically dominate a district in order to send a member of the race to Congress. In the olden day when Negrohood was in flower, sundry colored men were elected to state and municipal positions where the race constituted only a negligible fraction of the electorate. Senator John P. Greene was sent to the Ohio Senate and Harry S. Smith to the legislature when there was only a handful of Negro voters in Cleveland. The same thing was true of Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, and other Northern and Western states. Even now, once in a great while, a Negro candidate gets his name on a general ticket and slips by unbeknown to the white voters, as in case of Judge Albert George of Chicago, who was once elected and once defeated on this basis. As a general rule, however, the Negro may hope to secure elective office only on the strength of Negro voters. St. Louis furnishes something new under the political sun. There are about one round hundred thousand Negroes in that city. If these were all in one Congressional district, they would fall far short of a majority. It so happens that the district which contains the bulk of the Negro voters is represented in Congress at present by L. C. Dyer who has endeared himself to the race by virtue of the anti-lynchning bill which bears his name. He is a rank Republican by conviction and tradition. Through political cunning, the regular Democratic party of that jurisdictio has sought to overcome the popularity of Dyer by sponsring a Negro candidate for his seat in BOOK REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWS "THE CHINABERRY TREE" By Jessie Faucet (Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York City.) The scene of action of this 341 page novel, for the most part, is in New Jersey, with several references and introduction to colored society in Philadelphia and New York, although the events could have happened, and are happening, in real life, in almost any community that is inhabited by struggling colored men and women. The two girls, cousins, Laurentine and Melissa, beautiful, desirable and ambitious, grow up in a small community where perpetual gossip seems to be the chief pastime of the older residents. Laurentine, who is the illegitimate child of a rich white man and a beautiful colored maid, found it very difficult to make any social progress among the professional and well-to-do colored element until she met Dr. Denleigh. Melissa who boasts about her legitimacy, being much younger and more vivacious, is much sought after and fought over by some, and considerably. ostracised and pitted by others. In depicting the love affairs of the two girls the author has brought out, very clearly, a certain snobbishness and asserted authority that is to be found in the lives of moderately well-to-do colored people but in spite of this, each girl wins the love of a man who is big enough to desire that the girl's perfection extend only to herself and not necessarily to include her ancestors. Before the girls are happily mated, however, we are given an insight into the family lives of the average well-to-do colored person. year the Armory, or some other large place will be secured and the floor space more convenient and the booths larger. We congratulate the promoters and business men who took part. We thank you for the encouragement and strength you gave us to carry on in spite of hardships and difficulties. Congress. The last time he ran he received a respectable vote. He is again trying his hand, and hopes by splitting the vote both on political and race lines to win his seat in Congress. It is entirely possible that Tammany may duplicate the trick in Harlem to offset the popularity of La Guardia. It is a safe bet that the Negro Democrat will not win in either instance in the next election. The city of Philadelphia has 219,000 Negroes, easily enough to control a congressional district, if they were concentrated. But it is well known this population is distributed among several districts placing the race is a hopeless minority in any one of them, albeit they may constitute a majority of Republican voters in at least one instance. Judge Henry, a man of great political cleverness, has announced himself as candidate for Congress. His chief battle is to secure the nomination from rival Republican candidates. Should he succeed in this ambition, his new problem would be to hold the white Republicans true to the party regardless of the raciality of the candidate. McLemore in St. Louis and Henry in Philadelphia present an interesting political game where race and party lines cross. We shall watch the outcome with deep interest and keen curiosity. Chicago remains our chief reliance for race representation in the next Congress. A recent decision of the state Supreme Court upsetting the Republican reapportionment scheme has called for a realignment of Oscar DePriest's district which falls back within its old boundaries. This will cause a hasty readjustment of plans on part of the contending colored candidates. But it seems that the chance of a race representative is improved by this readjustment of the boundaries. Should the Democrats wish to profit by the rivalry of two Republican can Negro candidates, they would obviously be required to put up a colored rather than a white Democratic contestant. In any event the first Illinois District is safe for Negro representation. If the Chicago voters have any deference for the opinion and wish of the race at large, they would overwhelmingly return the present incumbent whose growing prestige and influence in Congress and throughout the country constitute the Negro's greatest political asset. On the present appearance of things the race will have to get along with a lone representative from the windy city till nineteen forty two when the new apportionment may throw upwards two or three other districts from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. In 1860 nine-tenths of the Negro population in the United States was illiterate. In 1930 the figures were exactly reversed, nine-tenths being literate. The one-tenth now illiterate lives principally in the South. Here is an interesting fact. In seventy years most all of our Negro population has learned to read and write. This is the first step toward the development of education. In 1930 more Negroes received college degrees than ever before in their history. The mad scramble of Negroes for college degrees means much. But does it mean a smobbish or intellectual awakening? This is a serious question. Is the contribution made by the thousands of Negro colleges graduates to the welfare of their race and nation commensurate with the time, energy and money spent in obtaining these coveted degrees? This is a more serious question. I have always been and always shall be a great admirer of Bookr T. Washington. Today dead, he is admired more greatly by more people than he was yesterday, living. He originated a plan for the education of the Negro which brought down upon his head the wrath of many short-sighted and short-thinking Negroes. But he had the courage to stick to his beliefs in spite of everything. Today his plan for educating the Negro has been adopted as a most acceptable method for educating all people the world over. Here was an educational prophet! Here was an educational hero! Possibly never so much in the entire history of the Negro in the United States was there such a vital need for an educational hero as there is today. This great crowd of educated Negroes which is drifting, just drifting almost aimlessly needs intellectual guidance, intellectual leadership. Where can we find an educational Moses to lead them out of the wilderness of disappointment and discouragement? Can it be that our great (?) educators whose shoulders are burdened down and whose heads are bowed beneath the weight of advanced scholastic degrees have neither the courage nor the vision to point out the way to these misguided and unguided youngsters?

Mazyck, Local Writer, Gives New Slant «”_on Washington ie ty cere a Now that everyone js George Washington conscious, the Father of His Country has had every phase of his life diagnosed, some favorable, and of course, a few a bit unfavorable. The Associated Publishers (1538 Ninth street, northwest, Washing- ton, D. C.) have just jssued Wai. ter H. Mazyck's ‘George Wash- ington and the Negro.” ($2.15). This little volume of 170 pages, with an index of ten pages is as tomplete as the. subject will per- mit. Mr, Mazyck surely had his mind deeply imbued with the sub- ject and from the exhaustive in- dex one can gather that he made ¥ thorough study of Washington's attitude of slavery and its at- tendant evils. ‘The author has the knack of telling what would ordinarily be a dry narrative, in such way as to make it alive ‘with interest, not only to those who make a study of Negro history, but to those who have only a passive interest in such matters. with it, We cite here a paragraph that is but one of many very interest. ing notations that the author pre- sents: “And the Negroes, then thirty- three in number, formerly belong- ing to the said estate (Bartholo- mew Dandridge) who were taken in execution, sold and purchased in on my account, in the year (—), and ef since have re- mained in the possession and the use of Mary...with their increase, it is my will and desire shall con- Hone and be Jn her possession jout paying hire, or making compenation for the same, Tos time past or to come, during her natural life; at the expiration of which, I direct that all of them who are forty years old and up- wards shall receive their freedom; and all under that ag:. and above sixteen, shall serve seven years and no longer; and all under six- teen shall serve until they are tenty-five years of age, and then be free... .” ‘The book starts out with a very terse and thoughtful assertion in the statement that “Had George Washington been other than a slaveholder in Virginia jn the 18th tentury, he would not have risen high in’ the affairs of the nation. Strange anomaly, that the morals of his time should have decreed that he must’ be one who doprived his fellowmen of liberty if he would also be father of the land of the free.” Mr. Mazyck’s book has been se- lected by the Book-of-the-Month Club as an alternate. The club stated that the book is a careful, well documented and_ interesting study of George Washington and of the condition of the Negroes turing Washington's time. Mr. Mazyck is a native and resi- dent of Washington and a grad- pate of Howard University. “George Washington and the Negro” would make an excellent study book for schoos, by all teachers to become acquainted means it would be well for Negro DEAN SLOWE WAS FIRST PRESIDENT JF AKA.

The university this year will celebrate her birthday by dedicating three new women's dor- mitories which have been recently erected at a cost of $770,000. ‘These dormitories were opened for use at the beginning of the current school year and are said to he among the best equipped dormitor- ies for Negro youth in the United States. One of the features of the Char- ter Day celebration will be the an- nual dinner in the university dining hall sponsored. by the Washington alumni.’ Similar charter day din- ners are held by Howard slummi all over the United States. In a statement ae out tomy by President Mordecai W. Johnson, this charter day dinner is spoken of as one of the most inspiring occasions connected with the uni- versity life. President Johnson's statement follows: “Doring ‘my administration, the alumni of Howard University have cheerfully and effectively’ respond- ed to every important call which I have made to them.
