I Speaking on the subject, "A Negro's Appraisement of Abraham Lincoln," Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, gave a rich discourse on the significance of the "great Emancipator." He lauded Lincoln as one of the "commanding geniuses that has arisen in the Western Hemisphere." While praising Lincoln as a just man, Dean Miller pointed out that his name was more significant as the champion of a cause than as an individual. "I was born the year the Emancipation Proclamation was issued," declared the speaker. "The stroke of the pen of the Emancipator alone stood between me and the birthright, or had I rather say the birth curse, of a slave. As a representative of the benefited race, I stand here as the incarnation of the people whom Abraham Lincoln lived and died to redeem. Ard ERDINAND Q. MORTON SPEAKS IN ST.

Neither can now continue toward achieve- ment of the high aims and pur- sus it professes with twelve mil- lions of its citizens, denied the basic hits of citizenship.

All the time he was pursued by S. J. Sugar, an insurance broker, who testified that he followed him to get his tag number which he gave to the police at the Second Precinct. The tag number was Virginia 71-066 for 1932. It was pursued the car driven by Strunk was arrested at his home in Virginia. Mr. Fox was carried to Freedmen's Hospital in a taxicab driven by James D.

WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 Price of this paper is 7 cents in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia; 19 cents elsewhere DE PRIEST FIGHTS FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY $600,000 ITEM Says He Hopes Senate Wil Restore Amount to Complete Plant And Library Representative Oscar DePriest and Representative Strong, of Kansas, debated the appropriation item for Howard University on the floor of the House, Tuesday. Mr. DePriest said he would not offer an amendment, "because I know I could not have it adopted; but I am in hopes the Senate will restore the proper amount to complete the heating plant and library" at Howard. This remark brought applause from the members. Mr. DePriest's remarks follow: "Mr. Chairman, I move to strike out the last word. In the appropriation bill passed a year so there was an authorization for a library to be constructed at the Howard University to cost $800,000. Four hundred thousand dollars was made available in the last appropriation bill, with an authorization of $400,000 to be appropriated this year. The Secretary of the Interior was authorized to sign contracts for the building. I am sorry to say that this year the appropriation bill only carries an additional appropriation of $100,000, making the total for the library building, for the building complete and equipped, $500,000. It also carried with it a recommendation for educational classrooms. This year that item has been eliminated absolutely. "The Budget estimate this year for Howard University was $1,610,000, but the appropriations for this university have been materially reduced. I am very sorry the committee could not see its way clear to appropriate enough money to complete the library as anticipated. "Howard University is under a 10-year program, and they contemplate an immense growth, it being the outstanding Negro university of America. It is proposed to have it compete with the best schools of this country as a class A school. "I am not going to offer any amendment because I have been requested not to do so by certain friends of Howard University, but I want to call the attention of the committee to the fact that this appropriation to the $1,075,000 is almost $600,000 less than the Bureau of the Budget recommended. "I appreciate" the fact that this country is in economic distress and that there is necessity for economy. However, it appears to me they have carried economy a long ways in connection with Howard University. "Take the heating plant at this university. It was estimated that $460,000 should be spent for heat, light and power, but the committee has seen fit to reduce that amount to $300,000. With a 10-year building program at that university, I want to assure you, the opinion of the committee to the contrary notwithstanding, that the light, heat, and power plant erected at a cost of $300,000 will not carry the load when they get through with their building program. If it is necessary to economize, it might be advisable to cut out the library building and put up a heating plant that will eventually carry the load. It looks very foolish to me to construct a heating plant that will not eventually carry the load of the total building program. However, I presume the committee thought it necessary to make this great reduction, but Howard University has been reduced over 30 per cent. I am for good roads, and we appropriate $1,500,000 for good roads, but in addition to appropriating for good roads it is necessary to educate the minds of the youth of the land and properly prepare them if you are going to make good citizens of them. "As I said, I am not going to offer any amendment; but, I say, the committee has gone a long ways in economy by reducing the (Continued on Page 13) THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN CONGRESSMAN OSCAR DEPRIEST of Illinois, who championed Howard University's claim for the $600,000 cut from the items necessary for its building program BIG MASS MEETING PROTESTSUNEQUAL APPROPRIATIONS Meeting of N.A.A.C.P. Pass Resolutions Protesting Old High Building At an enthusiastic mass-meeting held by the Natoional Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Thursday night at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, resolutions were passed portesting the unequal appropriations in the budget before Congress for buildings and grounds for colored schools in the District of Columbia. It was pointed out by the various speakers that for the past ten years Congress has appropriated about 30 per cent of its allotment for buildings and grounds for colored schools. The Board of Education listed items for the 1933 budget for the usual 30 per cent allocation of buildings and grounds for colored schools. The Commissioners approved the items but the Budget Bureau cut them down to 19.6 per cent of the appropriations, which gives the white schools 80.4 per cent. The mass meeting also passed a resolution protesting the use of the old white high school at Ninth and Rhole Island avenue, northwest, for elementary students. Those appearing on the program were Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church; Miss E. F. G. Merritt, president of the local branch of the association; Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools; and J. A. G. LuValle, editor of the Washington Tribune. Grand Jury Ignores Charges Against Walker The Grand Jury refused to indict Melvin E.

RUTHERFORD IS NOT BITTER AGAINST FOES S. W. RUTHERFORD IS NOT BITTER AGAINST FOES National Benefit Founder Has Hopes Of Competent Examination By Garlan Macky How does it feel to have founded and nursed an $8.00 business from infancy to a $75,000,000 project employing thousands of persons and after thirty-two years to be forced to resign under a cloud and turn over the rein of management to outside interests? This question was put to Samuel W. Rutherford, founder of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, at his home here this week following three weeks of controversy in the District Supreme Court where hearings are going on to determine whether a permanent receiver should be appointed for the company. In the first place Mr. Rutherford, isn't bitter, but he has aged considerably within the last few months. "We have made mistakes," said Mr. Rutherford, "but what we are seeking to learn is how much the company is impaired and are asking for a competent examination under a recognized actuary." "We have felt the depression like other businesses and I admit that we might have been short of cash, but every business firm has been short of cash within the last year or two. Our firm felt it the same as others.

O'Donghue in the District Supreme Court for three weeks brought forth a responsive note from the public during the week. Outstanding citizens in all walks of life were in favor of such a move. Justice O'Donoghue on several occasions made an effort to have opposing counsel in the case to agree to a compromise, after several conferences with Justice O'Donoghue and among themselves 10 agreement could be reached and the case beginning Monday will enter its fourth week. S. W. Rutherford, former president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, stated this week that he was heartily in favor of such a move as started by the Tribune and thought much good could have been accomplished if the "get-together" meeting had been suggested during the early days of the hearing. John T. Risher, present head of the company, was also in favor of the "get-together" conference with opposing counsel and a neutral group of representative citizens. Others in favor of such a move were W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank; Dr. Mordecas Johnson, president of Howard University; Attorney Perry W. Howard, a l. d. H.

Trial package WRITE ISRAEL CHURCH OBSERVES 112TH ANNIVERSARY Week's Services Climaxed With Addresses By Race Leaders Addressed by Bishop E. D. W. Jones, at the morning services, and J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, at the night exercises, brought to a fitting close the 112th anniversary of the Israel Colored Methodist Episcopal Church located at New Jersey avenue and Morgan street, northwest, Sunday. The anniversary rites opened at the church on February 7. Declaring "you can't put to practical use modern knowledge and leave out the principles of Jesus Christ," Bishop Jones, stated that "the church, in fact, Christianity, in itself, is a very poor institution if it does not offer some sort of solution for every condition in life." He further declared that "this is the time for the church to meet the Nation and the economic condition and not to be too overconcerned with promises of the future." A review of the church's activities since its organization in 1820 until the present day was given by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson at the special fraternal services sponsored by the Elks Sunday night. The church was organized in 1820 by dissenters from the Old Ebenezer M.E. Church (white) and held meetings in the Wheat's School House on Virginaia avenue, southeast, Simm's Rope Walk, Third and Pennsylvania avenue, southeast, and in the Little White Chapel under the Hill, its first permanent home, on B street near South Capitol. In 1872, it was removed to the foot of the Hill because of Government improvements and in 1930, 57 years later, removed to its present location for the same reason. Rev. E. Franklin Howard is now its pastor and Rev. A. Taylor, assistant pastor. During its early history, the church was the scene of every important gathering in the interest of the anti-slavery movement and following the Emancipation, in the interest of the education of Negroes. Such characters as EliJah P. Lovejoy, Joshua R. Giddings, Henry M. Wilson, B. J. Wade, Thadeus Stevens, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass were frequent visitors at the church. Among the clubs and visiting pastors aiding in the anniversary celebration during the week were Sunday School and Epworth League of the church. Reverends A. Taylor, R. T. Fulwood, W. A. English, M. Wilcox, Frank W. Alstork, and Presiding Elder G. T. Long, Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, was principal speaker at "Civic Night" held last Wednesday.

Parker-Gray School Parker-Gray School At the last meeting of the parent-teachers' association money was given to help purchase pencils and papers for the pupils of the lower grades. The underweight children of the lower grades are being furnished milk by the Home Economic Department. The children who are receiving the milk will be helped and are expected to gain weight and also improve in their school work. The parent-teachers' association has pledged its support to the Home Economic Department in this great work, and is asking the members and friends to help them give a shower of canned goods such as tomatoes, corn, salmon, peas, apples, sugar and flour to the H.E. Department. By doing this it will make it possible for them to continue furnishing milk to the underweight children. The food shower will be held at the next meeting, Wednesday, March 2nd.

South is denied the rights and privileges, guaranteed him in the constitution. He has been cut away from the rights of an American citizen. He is denied the right of protection of life and property; he is denied "due process of law"—trial by jury when accused of certain crimes; he is denied this right to prove his innocence and instead he is dragged through the streets, burned and lynched. Ladies and gentlemen, citizenship does not necessarily carry with it the right of suffrage, but it does carry with it the right of protection of life and property. "The white man of the south denies the capacity of the Negro to exercise a voice in the government, and is determined to exclude him from a system of universal suffrage. The test of capacity for civilization is the capacity for voluntary labor. The Negro of the South is not merely capable of labor, he is practically the only genuine laborer. His capacity for civilization is therefore undeniable. "The relationship of people living upon the same soil is fixed by HOME OF QUALITY AND S E. W. Bundy FUNERAL HOME 621 Florida Avenue N. W.

The relationship is one of partnership and in this partnership the laborer is the most important member. Upon his industry all other industries depend. He is the source of every industry. It is an indisputable fact that the Negro practically monopolizes those fields of labor, which are the very basis of American prosperity. Yet he is regarded as a source of potential danger.

Under such a standard is he denies, the rights of an American citizen. Laws supporting this unjust standard despoil him of a voice in the government under which he must work and live. Why? Because the white man of the South says that he does not have the capacity to participate in the government. This argument falls through but since they insist that the Negro is incapable of participating in government, would it not be more profitable for the United States, since the Negro worked and slaved for 250 years, to spend one million dollars to improve the Negro schools in the South so that that black boy and girl may be capable to participate in the government, than to spend one hundred millions of dollars in slaughtering Haitians and Filipinos while trying to subjugate them?

THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 Brightening up the home By Dorothy Snow HE jolliest nurseries and playrooms are rooms which, like Peter Pan, have never grown up! They are simple and child-like—alive with imagination—and exactly suited to the needs of the young owners. A strong primary color—red, blue or yellow—should be emphasized in the decoration of the room. The more delicate pastel tones make no instinctive appeal to the small child. Gay color may be introduced in wall decoration, curtains, floorcoverings or bright furniture. One of the amusing juvenile wall papers may be used in the nursery. Or large colored prints of story-book characters may be pasted upon plain walls and outlined with hand-painted panels or wood-mouldings. A light coat of liquid wax glaze will protect wall paper or prints from childish finger mudges; first test the glaze on a sample of the paper. If pictures are applied to the walls, be sure to place them on the level which best suits the child's eyes. Curtains should be made as simply as possible, of a sheer material which admits plenty of sun- JOHN F. COOK STUDENTS HAVE ACTIVE WEEK Dear Reader: On Friday, February 12, in John F. Cook School's auditorium the children of Mrs. Hill's 6B Grade presented a play, "The Negro History Week Program." Some children who had gone to the House Office Building last week were William Henson from Miss Young's 5A class; Carlotte Carter, from Mrs. Holland's class; Caroline Hert and William Edmonds, from Mrs. Faulk's class, and Ernestine G. Carter and Elizabeth Shuford, from Miss Duckett's 3B class. Ernestine G. Carter wrote the following: "I am going to tell you of the biggest opportunity of my life which came to me on February 10, my trip to the House Office Building was this opportunity. Several other pupils and myself accompanied by Miss Tanner arrived at the House Office Building in a taxi cab at 10 o'clock. We went there in celebration of Negro History Week. The program consisted of many interesting features, the two outstanding ones being the address by Hon. Oscar DePriest and President Mordecai Johnson, of Howard University. "The speaker I enjoyed most was Dr. Johnson. He urged us to go on and a lead good life like some of our famous Negrees, such as Carter G. Woodsdon, Paul L. Dunbar and others. These were the things that impressed me most. "Following Dr. Johnson's address we sang 'The Negro National Anthem.' We had the saluting of the flag. "The benediction was spoken by Rev. Brooks, 'The Star Spangle Banner' concluded the program Then the play was given. It was a very interesting play and every one praised it." On Monday of this week the children of the kindergarten went 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 shows 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 sofft 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 income 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 THIS AN' THAT 一 Here is a tribute to a local son submitted by local admirer: "God molded him in physical splen- "God molded him in physical spiener. I loved it with molding of Inlaid his brain with melodies of gold; In heart—unique sounds of jungle blend, To interpret the Negro's song and soul, Crude, furious, melancholy, Impassioned notes, veer to soft melody; Tom-tom echoes, siren sounds—then sweet. Mellow rhythms charm our dance ing foot. Access is difficult to his throne— His welding of notes with uncanny skill Moves critics to claim him king alone, In a nation of jazz to bid his will." —James R. Beason. **** Oh. You Coward! Oh, You Coward. Several week back I received a letter questioning my statement that Freeman H. M. Murray was the equal to any newspaper proofreader—white or colored. The writer sent me a clipping from an article in this paper where "duckless" glands was used for "ducless" glands. Aside from the fact that it was not ignorance of the spelling of the word, but that twice the linetype operator failed to make the correction when called for, and that I was responsible for the negligence of not following up the work of the operator, this error got through. And the writer who did not have the good manners to sign his name was ignorant of the fact that Mr. Murray has not read a line of proof for the Tribune for more than three years. I am negligent—you are a coward. Acclaimed by those in the pro- fession, F. H. M. Murray, the dean of Negro proofreaders, is one of the best in the country—regardless of color. * * * * * The hardest part about selling is getting a prospect to listen to your story. * * * * * The girls who stuck out for long hair are back in style. * * * * * Reason This Thing It is a fact that there is a de- pression, and Negroes are being the hardest hit. Let us as a sensible people look forward four months. In June hundreds of girls will graduate. As far as I can learn there will be a demand on the depleted bank book or pay envelope a class day dress, a dress for the class prom, and still another dress for commencement. There will be the new shoes and stockings and undies and hair dressing to go along with the affairs. Would it not be sensible and economical for the proper ones—parents or school board (?)—to instruct that a uniform dress be used for the three occasions? This may sound far-fetched, but it is sensible and it is practical. Why spend all of this money to have a girl come out of school? Intelligent parents and children can grasp the point. We are too poor to keep in a rut just for the sake of no-reason-at-all. Send in a letter to this column and express yourself on this subject. * * * * Those who ask questions must stand and listen. * * * * Solomon—Shakespeare. An English newspaper asked its readers to suggest a retort that might have been made to Solomon when he bade someone "go to the ant—consider her ways and be wise." Of the following replies, the last was given the prize. "I went to the ant, great monarch; considered her folly," and slept." "Better be an idle fool than a busy one." "I returned, and saw . . . that the race is not to the swift." "Slumber is sweeter than toil; and dreams rise higher than ant-hills." "To an ant, to teach thee there's no labouring i' the winter.—King Lear, II., 4." One way to insure success is to be prepared for failure. Query.

Yellow organdie or dotted net would be lovely for the nursery windows. Simple Early American furniture is now being reproduced in small sizes for children. There are cunning little windsor, ladder-back and wing chairs, four-poster beds, and quaint little bureau, desks and tables. Furniture in these good designs will favorably influence a child's taste. A roomy corner cupboard or a row of built-in shelves to hold toys and books will encourage neatness. A low play-table and benches are convenient for small friends who come to spend the day. This table and other furniture should be given a coat of wax to protect them from the constant wear they receive. A little blackboard hung low on one wall will be a source of fun and self-expression. Linoleum is a good foundation for games, and it is warm enough to permit children the pleasure of playing on the floor. It should be treated with wax so that harmful germs and dirt will not become embedded in its pores. A small sand-box may be placed in one corner of the nursery, and if the floor is waxed sweeping will be easy. Colorful little rag or chenille rugs and hooked rugs with Mother Goose designs are charming for the nursery floor. to Bolling Field and Douglass' Home in the bus.

Devotional exercises were conducted by the 2B grade Monday, February 15, at which time the children presented a Valentine playlet, "The Valentine Man." On Wednesday, February 17, Miss Duckett's 5B had charge of the morning devotions. First we had the Processional which was, "Alleluia, Alleluia!" by the 5B grade; opening chorus, "Jesus Meek and Gentle" was sung by the school. Bible message, the 95th, Psalm was read by John Hunter. The Lord's Prayer was recited by the school. Chorus, "Opportunities" by the school, then a Bible story was read by Elizabeth Shuford. Roberta Long, a very good singer, sang a solo, "Consolation." Miss Duckett's school also sang another selection, "Always Cheerful." Marion Woodson played an instrumental solo, then Miss Duckett's school sang another selection, "Praise the Lord." Mr. J. C. Payne, our principal, spoke. Following we had the flag salute and the singing of "America." Following the sentence prayer, the 5B school marched out singing, and that concluded the program. On Thursday, February 17, the 6B grade is to give a luncheon. The purpose is to raise enough money to buy a picture for the school. This is r.

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 sufficiently capable of weathering the stroms 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.

A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Cremoulisation, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremoulisation is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Cremoulisation contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.

SPORTING NEWS of the DAY TWELVE HOWARD SCRAMS BEFORE LINCOLN HOWARD SCRAMS BEFORE LINCOLN Experiment with Re-vamped Lineup Costs Bisons Court Game Lincoln University sprang a surprise Tuesday night in defeating Howard University's basketball team in the Howard University gymnasium by a score 39-21. This was the Lion's first intercollegiate game for the present season. Coach Burr took advantage of this opportunity to experiment with a re-vamped line-up, shifting Hall from forward to guard, and Taylor from guard to center, Reid from center to forward, with Syphax as the only veteran in regular position, and Sewcf, a freshman, starting at guard. Howard Scores During the first half the teams appeared fairly evenly matched, with Sewell dropping a field goal through the nets for the first score of the game. Avery and Byrd slipped through the Howard defense for two goals, and a Lincoln lead with Smith substituting for Sewell at guard. Howard was again put in the lead with 6-5. Avery immediately tied the score from foul line with Byrd, Syphax, and "Spank" Smith scoring for a Lincoln lead at half time of 12-11. In the second half, Lincoln waged an offensive that put the Lions in front with a lead of 31-19, when Burgan, Lincoln guard, who had failed to score in the first half, came to life and accounted for three field goals and a foul, while Howard's best was a marker from the foul line by Hall. Free Shots Fail Not only did Howard's new formation fail to function, but accurate shooting and effective guarding showed throughout the game. Howard made only three shots from the foul line, out of 17 attempts, with Lincoln scoring 5 out of 14. The next home game will be in the Howard University gymnasium Saturday, February 20, against Virginia State College. **Howard 21** **G.

I. A. A. By Gideon Smith & George Lyle HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Hampton, one of the first colored schools to have organized athletics, has, in the twenty years of intercollegiate competition, set up an enviable record. The most prominent representatives of the Seasiders are, without a doubt, the football and basketball squads. Their records are about evenly matched although the pigskin-toters gained fame in '28 when the C.I.A.A. laurels went to the Ironmen. The C.I.A.A. was formed in 1912 and championships in football were started. No championships in football were awarded the years of 1917 and 1918 due to the war. Out of the 16 possible championships Hampton has won eight (1913, 1915, 1916, 1922, 1925, 1926, 1928, 1931). There was a three way tie for championship in 1914 (Hampton, Howard, Lincoln). Hampton won the C.I.A.A. football trophy permanently by winning it three times (1926, 1928, 1931). 20 years of basketball: 159 In her twenty years of encounter the Blue and White has annexed eight of the sixteen possible championships and was the third member of the three-way tie in 1914. The C.I.A.A. football trophy became a permanent fixture when the 1931 team landed the crown. The basketeers have also won eight championships. Track is a comparatively new sport, C.I.A.A. dating back just ten years. Of the ten possibilities Hampton holds seven in addition to five individual records. Hampton is also well represented at the Penn Relays, holding the record and winning the mile Normal School Relay for three years. This victory carries with it the championship of America. George D. Williams won a first place in the javelin throw at the Penn Relays, setting a new record; he also holds the C.I.A.A. title in this event. During the ten years of baseball and the three of soccer football, the Seasiders have failed to win championships by very narrow margins and the opponents' records will show that the Ironmen went down fighting. The only sport left is tennis and there is but one name to praise. The championship in singles was won for three consecutive years, thereby giving Hampton possession of another permanent trophy, and the champion is Robert G. Cotton. Twenty-eight championships in twenty years of competition is a record of which any school may be justly proud. 20 years of football: 167 games played; 118 won; 9 tied; 40 lost. Tuskegee Boys' and Girls' Teams Continue To Win TUSKEGEE, Ala—The Tuskegee Institute High School Boys' basketball team added another victory Saturday by defeating the Elmore County Training School, 25 to 13. The game was played in Logan Gymnasium and drew a very enthusiastic crowd. In a game that devolved into a real basketball battle, particularly during the second half, the Tuskegee girls defeated the Georgia Normal College girls, 31 to 18, in Logan Gymnasium here Friday afternoon. Line-up and Summary Union Girls' Team Out For Heavy Schedule By Rupert Picott RICHMOND, Va.—The 1932 edition of the Virginia Union University Girls Basketball Team is soon to make its appearance on a Richmond cage-floor. Coach Henry B. Hucles sometime ago issued the call for feminine basketball and the call was answered with a shout twenty strong. The young women have been practicing diligently and are swiftly perfecting their team technique, aided and abetted by the fact that they are in the pink of condition. Their tentative schedule calls for two games with Virginia State College, one to be played in Richmond on March 4, the other to be played at Petersburg; one game with Choppin Normal School at Baltimore, Maryland on March 11 and as a result of present negotiations, at least four other games are expected to be played. Tuskegee Relay Carnival Scheduled For May 7 The Sixth Annual Tuskegee Relay Carnival will be held in the Alumni Bowl at Tuskegee on Saturday, May 7, and the Fifth Annual Southern Intercollegiate Tennis Championships, for both men and women, will be played May 5 and 6, according to Cleve L. Abbott, director of athletics and manager of the relays, by whom the announcement was made. Four hundred invitations will be mailed to universities and colleges and high schools The C.I.A.A. was formed in 1912 and championships in football were started. No championships in football were awarded the years of 1917 and 1918 due to the war. Out of the 16 possible championships, Hampton has won eight (1913, 1915, 1916, 1922, 1925, 1926, 1928, 1931).

Won the championship of American one mile Normal School Relay at the Penn Relays for three years—1927, 1929, 1930. Hampton at present holds the time record for that event at the Penn Relays. In 1930 Hampton was second in the javelin throw at the Penn Relays, and in 1931 won first place, breaking the Pen Relay Carnival record in that event. George D. Williams of Hampton is the holder of that record. Won the Medley and Mile Relays at the Tuskegee relays in 1927, and the mile relay at A. & T. College in 1931. Hampton holds the following C.I.A.A. records: 440-yards by Early, 1930, 49s. 200-yard hurdles by King, 1926, 25.4s. 120-yard low hurdles by Cole, 1931, 15.8s Javelin throw by Williams, 1931, 200 ft. ? in.

Tenn.—Supreme sportsmanship marked the double defeat of the Fisk University cagers by Knoxville College here Friday and Saturday. Scores were 25-19 and 21-18. Fisk came to Knoxville undefeated and put up a great fight for victory, but the K. C. five clicked smoothly to spoil the perfect record of an old rival.

Waters, Jr. HAMPTON, Va.—Hampton Institute cagers eked out a one point victory over Union University Tuesday after wiping out an eight point margin favorable to the Richmond quintet. In strong contrast to the 15-7 count at the half, the last few minutes of the game presented a situation the outcome of which was purely speculative. *With the Seasiders leading by a scant four points, and with but slightly over a minute to play, the Union courtmen advanced to within one point of balancing accounts when the time warden's signal arrested hostilities awarding the verdict to Hampton on a 28-27 score.

By Arthur Carter Overtime games and low scores, indicative of close competition and keen defensive play, marked the week-end of basketball contests in high school circles. In the first game of the annual Tech-PoeT court classic played on the Armstrong court Friday, Dunbar bowed to the Orange and Blue basketeers by the narrowest of margins, a lone point registered in the final second of play In Baltimore, Friday, the Douglass Ducks defeated Cardozo in a thrilling contest, 24-18, only to journey here Monday, and fall before Coach Perkins' Poets, in one of the most exciting battles seen on a local court this season. At the end of the regulation time the teams stood deadlocked at 20-all. During the three-minute extra period Brooks and Edmonton sank sensational baskets to win the game for the Poets, 24-20. Two field goals in the last two minutes of play by Thomas of Douglass gave the Baltimoreans a one-point lead which Wedlock, who had previously substituted for Minns at center, erased by sinking a shot from the charity line to knot the count. Williams Stars For Tech With his team trailing by three points and with the same number of minutes left to play, "Hank" Williams, lanky Tech guard, performed the unusual by tossing in three successive foul shots in three attempts to win the game for Armstrong Friday. The Poets had held a narrow advantage over Tech all afternoon, leading at half time, 6 to 5. In the midst of the fourth period the Red and Black aggregation opened up a semi-freeze which subsequently proved disasterous. Every time Armstrong would intercept the ball a Dunbar player would commit a foul and each time the watchful eyes of Referee Waller called a foul. Williams was the man fouled, and Williams proceeded to do his stuff by making good on all three tries. After the game a controversy between the official timekeeper and Dunbar's timekeeper ensued. Dunbar timekeeper ruled that the game should have been called prior to the time the shot was made. Rumor spread that Dunbar's authorities would enter a protest and have the matter settled between the athletic committee of the two schools, however, Coach Perkins of Dunbar, emphatically denied any such action when questioned by this correspondent Monday. The second game of the series between Tech and Dunbar will be staged on the Poets' court Monday. Armstrong g. f. p. Dunbar g. f. p.

The Van Dykes downed the Monroe A.C., 24-12, in the preliminary game, while the Cardogo A.C. was granted a forfeit when the Dunbar Community Center team failed to put in appearance.

Will will "call 'em" to the approval and disapproval of the fans and the knights of the spiked shoes, to say nothing of the fidgeting owners who will be jockeying their charges for place in the scramble for the East-West gonfalon? is ons of the manq questions that are going the rounds along horsehide rialto. While the ultimare answer to the foregoing question is yet in the making and will be decided when the owners convene at the next league meeting which is slated for Philadelphia, it is not without some foundation that mixed officials will be used in the new circuit. Aside from the queries that have been raised by the fans and public at large on the umpire question, the arbitrators themselves are taking the situation seriously. To be sure the game still flourished in sporadic fashion fostered by the independents and semi-pros and after lamping some of the contests that have been waged on the lots it is generally conceded that Croix de Guerres should be handed out without reserve to all of the stout hearted souls who buckle the armour on and elect to pass judgment in the open mart. Every well dressed umpire knows that the difference between organize and independent ball is the difference between the pop bottle and featherweight paraffin cups. Be that as it may, well known umpires with smiling visages and whose facal contours bespeak volumes for their ability to cover up, and the strong defense J. C.SMITH BULLS GORE ST. PAUL J.

Smith University chalken up their fourth consecutive C.I.A.A. victory here Saturday night by overpowering the St. Paul Tigers by the score of 32 to 24. The game was a furious and rough tilt from start to finish, and both teams used numerous substitutes. "Snag" Hargrove started the scoring spree by making a beautiful grip shot amid a throng of St. Paul defenders, and Capt. "Monk" Dudley immediately followed with a twin marker from the center of the court. St. Paul broke into the scoring column when captain Butler made good a free throw. Benton, St. Paul's stellar forward, followed this with a quick thrust from the side of the court for a sensational marker. The rest of the first half was a nip and tuck affair.

Spike Spencer of Washington, D.C., Josh Holliday the Swarthmore, Pa. lad who has absorbed much of the clean-cut collegiate atmosphere of the little Quaker Town, Wingfoot Cromwee of Baltimore and Fred Brown of distant Des Moines, Ia., are some of the other well known umpires who are applying for billets in the East-West loop and such talent can not be denied. The mixed umpire system of colored and white arbitrators have been used with splendid results by many of the clubs that have entered the new league and it is because of this fact and the results obtained that the owners will more than likely look up that as a solution to the umpire problem.

Bears Go on Rampage to Pile Up 43 to 11 Lead at Half Time The Morgan Bears completely outclassed and outplayed the Hampton cagers at the New Albert Auditorium, Friday night, by a score of 64-25. J. Williams, Hampton's center, was the first to break into the scoring column when he made a beautiful long shot during the first half minute of play. Drawing first blood however, did not discourage the Bears, for on the next tap-off Morgan started romping. Conrad hit the loop for two successive shots to put Morgan in the lead. Gibson followed with one of his famous over-head specials, and from this point on the Hurt's Cohorts rang the bell so consistently that when the gong sounded for recess the Bears had compiled a comfortable 43-11 lead. Troupe, Morgan's dash guard, was here, there, and everywhere. He frequently smeared the visitors' passes; dove into cluster of plays; got possession of the ball, and immediately placed it into the hands of one of his teammates who would work it in shooting range of the basket. Troupe also played a brilliant offensive game having found the cage for seven field goals and three charity tosses to lead Gibson's by one point.

SSS Builds Healthy Blood The Negro Expects To Be Delivered Negroes have the habit of sitting around waiting for God to deliver them. They have a worse habit of begging, standing around or going around expecting white people to give them that which they ought to give themselves. The day of general delivering and generous giving is past. Individuals and races must work for what they want. Races that are not willing to work will be worked. You take the depression situation—the whole world will have to actually think and work its way out of it. Divine deliverance in a physical sense will not come to races when those races have the things necessary for their own deliverance. The only way in the world to be delivered from the body of this death is for individuals and races to do new constructive and unselfish thinking and cultivate new fields. The mind of man must contrive new ways to adjust and adapt what he has in abundance to meet and cone with his new and untoward condition. If he does not do that, he is doomed to ultimate failure." This is a "First Corinthians, Twelfth Chapter Eighth through the Eleventh Verse" generation. Read what is written there. This generation has marvelous diversity of gifts. It has material wealth. It has a larger world in which to operate than any generation that has ever walked the earth. It has unexcelled facilities for going anywhere and for keeping in touch with everybody and everything. The tragedy of it is that this generation is using its God-given instrumentalities with which to bootleg for the devil. They are actually using God's best gifts to man to find new, faster and easier ways of going to the devil. For a number of years we have been growing more powerful and at the same time more self-sufficient. We have glorified power and might. God tells us plainly that we cannot make it on these agencies—"Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit," saith the Lord. God has permitted us to go on in our folly. "Ephemar is joined to his idol." Now we are jammed. God is simply through piling up things for us to use to defeat his plan for the human race. We will doubtless try to wiggle out of this tragic situation but we will never do it. The world will have to be swept by a spiritual and moral revolution. We have the facilities with which to inaugurate a world revival of the Christian religion. The world needs a spiritual baptism—a holy cruisade, a reformation, a renaissance—in which things spiritual shall be glorified. It is the business of the Christian church to launch the program. The only reason that the cruisade will be delayed is that the Christian church is woefully lacking in dynamic leadership. It is too busy building denominational stalls and thumbing creeds and dogmas to see the actual needs of humanity and to hear the voice of God saying again, "Why cries thou unto me?" Stop marking time. "Go forward." FOOT-NOTES By Dr. Adolphus W. Anderson.

No longer does he sit calmly by the fireside awaiting the call. No longer does she scorn the modern style of dress. They attend dances; often dancing better than their offspring. The movies are largely supported by them. Late novels are eagerly read and discussed by them. As a result, the younger generation gladly accept their company. Life is made brighter for all. Times have changed for the bet. Times have changed for the better. Decidedly so, do you say? As we retrospect, we can believe that the inactivity of the old man or woman could have been the evolution of a highly nervous individual who thoughtlessly neglected general health precautions. As far as the feet were concerned, general knowledge of the possible relief afforded by a Chiropodist, was an unknown quantity. But in the present day, the reactions from painful feet need never call for its toll in the persons of advanced age. Constant care of the feet will play a big part in attributing to an era of young-old people who can keep attune to the activities and pleasures of any period through which they may be passing.

THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 CONGREGATIONAL CLERGIES ENDORSE PULLMAN PORTERS Chicago Union Writes The Pullman Company On The Reduction of Wages As part of a program to mobilize public sentiment of the nation behind the fight of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters for recognition of the right of Pullman porters to self-organization, a living wage, and an equitable method of adjusting grievances, A. Philip Randolph, national president, and M. P. Webster, chairman of General Executive Board of the Sleeping Car Porters' Union, appeared before a meeting of the Chicago Congregational Ministers' Union Monday, February 8, and presented the facts in the Pullman Porters struggle and gave detailed information about the drastic cut that the porters have suffered recently because of the falling off of the tips; the hardship impose upon porters due to the large number of increased hours that porters must work since runs have been doubled up, and the incidental laying off and forloughing of men because of the long hours that porters must put in. After questions and discussion at the conclusion of the presentation, the Ministers' Union unanimously endorsed the fight of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and appointed a committee to draw up a resolution expressing their sentiment. The following letter, embodying the resolution, was sent to the Pullman Company: "Chicago Congregational Ministers' Union 19 South LaSalle Street Chicago, Illinois February 8, 1932 "General Manager Chicago Office The Pullman Company 79 East Adams Street Chicago, Illinois "The Congregational Ministers' Union of Chicago in observance of Race Relation Week, and deeply concerned at the disproportionate burden which the depression places upon the Negro group in our city and nation, and fearing the danger of unfair discrimination worked upon Negroes in economy measures. "Voted unanimously to draw the earnest attention of the Pullman Company: "1. To the injustice of cutting wages of Pullman Porters, at a time when their income has already suffered reduction through loss of gratuities. "2. To the desirability of finding a way so to remunerate porters that a living wage shall be assured them without recourse to gratuities. "3. To the fact that the interest of individual employees can be maintained only by recognizing the right of employees to set up their own organization, as guaranteed by the Railway Labor Act, and as sustained by decision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of other railway employee organizations.

"KEEP TAXES DOWN WITH MORE SALARY CUTS" SAYS MAYOR Baltimore. Md. Mayor Howard W. Jackson in a brief address to the mid-year graduating class of the Douglass High School last Friday evening justified the recent salary cuts of city employees by stating that he took this means of keeping down taxes. In order to balance present municipal expenditures with the city income from taxes and other revenue it would probably be necessary to make a further cut of 5 per cent in 1933 also. The mayor pointed out that the graduates, their school and its personnel were the products of the taxpayers' money, of which the citizens should be proud. Although salaries had been cut teachers and other municipal employees received their pay regularly, declared the city official. Dr. David E. Weglein, superintendent of schools, in his speech introducing the mayor, called attention to the progress of the institution, particularly in the past decade. In 1920 there were 724 students enrolled in the schools. This enrollment had doubled in March, 1923, at which time there was an enrollment of 1,437. In March 1924, there was a average enrollment of 1,600 and 2129 in 1931. The total number of graduates of the institution including the February class is 4,166. Musical features at the commencement were rendered by the school orchestra and the graduate chorus with J. Walter Fisher, a class member, as accompanist, and W. Llewellyn Wilson, director. His honor, Mayor Howard W. Jackson, awarded the diplomas to 110 graduates. The Rev. E. Adolph Haynes, pastor of Centennial M.E. Church, offered the invocation and benediction.

Mr. DePriest: "I should not think so, and no business man would do that on a private proposition." "However, I am not going to offer an amendmnet because I know I could not have it adopted; but I am in hopes the Senate will restore the proper amount to complete the heating plant and library.

Douglass- Lincoln Celebration (Continued from page 1) yet I would not allow my zeal as a eulogist to warp my just judgment as an analyst of his exalted character and moral renown." Bellegrade Address Bringing the fundamental prinwill be well conserved by the election to the presidency of an able, liberal, patriotic Southern democrat—a man of the type of Governor Ritchie of Maryland or Governciples for which Lincoln strove to bear on the present day problems of the race he freed, Dean Miller concluded his address with a scorching analysis of present day injustices heaped upon the Negro. A heartfelt and glowing tribute to Douglass was made by Monsieur Dantes Bellergarde, Haitian Minister to the United States, who was the special honored guest of the evening. Monsieur Bellergarde delivered his tribute in French in order as he said to speak the language of his heart: Dr. M. Grant Lucas, Jr. read a full translation of the speech which is as follows: "Mr. President and Gentlemen: Members of the Mu-So-Lit Club: "It is to me a very keen satisfaction to have been selected to deliver the address of the evening before the Mu-So-Lit Club. I am deeply grateful to your president, my friend, Mr. M. Grant Lucas, for having me such a fine (Continued from Page 1) opportunity to render tribute to a man who by his admirable life has honored not only his race and his country, but the whole of humanity. "Doubtless there were two considerations which inspired the choice which you have seen fit to make of me. First, you desired that the appreciation of Frederick Douglass should be made by a man of his race. And then, you recall that the man whose memory we celebrate tonight represented the United States Government in the Republic of Haiti. "I am proud to belong to the race of which Frederick Douglass was one of the finest examples. I have the honor, also, of representing my country in the United States as he had the honor of representing his country in Haiti. "But the consideration which lends to my presence here this evening, a symbolic value, is the fact that between the individual life of Frederick Douglas and the life and development of the Haitian Nation there is a similarity truly astonishing. Came Up From Slavery "I have read this week 'The Life and Times of Frederick Douglas'. I left the reading of these memoirs with feelings of enthusiastic and respectful admiration for the man whose prodigious life is told with such touching simplicity. "Frederick Douglass came up from slavery, that is to say, from nothing. In the midst of the most extraordinary obstacles, he raised himself to the highest summits of human intelligence. This Negro to whom the advantages of instruction were refused acquired unaided and alone that which the fierce regime of social writer, as an orator, and as a inequality had denied him. As a thinker, Frederick Douglass achieved a fame which identifies him with the best minds which the American people, black or white, have produced. However, that which appears to me in this man even more worthy of admiration than the intellectual qualities, with which nature had endowed him, is his manly character. His will was as strong as a rock. He fought with his whole soul for the elevation of his race as well as himself. He surmounted all the obstacles which color prejudice had heaped upon his pathway. But never was there a place in his heart for hate. He fought the wrong of the oppressor, but he did not hate him. The essential aim of his great service was union and alliance of men of all races of all religions for peace and progress. But he knew and he taught that this alliance could only be established by equality and friendship among men. "Haiti also came up from the most brutal slavery. Her independence, proclaimed January the first, 1804, not only marked the birth of a nation but was the affirmation of human liberty through the condemnation of human slavery and at the same time the positive conseration of equality of the races by the brilliant entry of the black people into the society of nations. Haitians in Slavery "Haiti gave her support generously to other peoples in their struggles for liberty. While she was still a French colony under the name of Santo Domingo she sent eight hundred of her sons to fight for the independence of the United States. The blood of these heroes stains the battlefields of Savannah and Yorktown. "In 1816 she assisted in the emancipation of Spanish colonists in America by giving to Simon Dolivar arms, munitions, money and men. And as the price of her assistance she claimed the liberation of the slaves of Spanish America. "In spite of her generosity Haiti has experienced all kinds of continuity and soorn and all kinds of injustice. She found herself constantly exposed to hostility. Let us hear how Frederick Douglass expressed himself on the subject. 'The whole Christian world was against her. The Carabean Sea was studded with communities hostile to her. These were slave-holding communities. And she finally became free by her own bravery and blood. Her existence therefore, was a menace to them and theirs a menace to her. France, England, Spain, Portugal and Holland, as well as the United States, were wedded to the system of slavery which Haiti had thrown off by force of arms. Hence, she was regarded as an outcast and was outlawed by the Christian world.' "Like Frederick Douglass Haiti found no schools in which to educate her people. She created her own schools. And from them have come historians, poets, thinkers, and novelists; and at the same time teachers, lawyers, doctors, engineers and business men and politicians who have organized Haitian society, as the equal of any nation of the world. True, she has known much sadness. She had made many false steps; but no nation escapes these fatalities. It would take the Lantern of Diogenese to find on the face of the earth one single nation that can boast of being perfect. "A white American, Mrs. Helen Hill-Weed, has written, 'Free public education for the masses, and culture for its own sake for those able to acquire it, have been Haitian ideals for over one hundred years. An education system had been developed, colleges and professional schools had been in existence for many years and a degree of national literacy exceeding that of many Central American and some European countries had been established prior to the American Occupation of the Republic of Haiti." Injustice to Haitians "The Haitians are still undergoing many injustices. They are still fighting against the new slavery to which their country has been subjected since July 1915. They will not cease fighting to gain their independence. But like Douglass, even in the midst of their enemies they do not nourish hate against any one. They love and admire the defenders of justice and liberty. In their Senate Chamber they have placed the portrait of Charles Sumner, the friend of Frederick Douglass, who defended Haiti in 1871. And one of the avenues in Port-au-Prince, the Capital of Haiti, bears the name of William H. King who has defended and still defends the Haitians cause in the Senate, of the United States. "As Frederick Douglas desired the union of all men for progress and liberty, so Haiti desires with all her strength, friendship among the nations based on equality, mutual respect and international justice. It is one of my greatest prides to have proclaimed in the name of my little country in the highest tribunal in the world at the League of Nations in Geneva, the necessity of establishing peace in the world, and of a close collaboration among all social classes, among all peoples among all races. "I finish this tribute to Frederick Douglass with a quotation from Mr. Douglass. Said he, 'I have been the recipient of many honors. Among them my unsought appointment by President Ippolite to represent Haiti among the nations of the globe at the World's Columbia Exposition—1893. It is the crowning honor to my career and a fitting and happy close to my life.' "You see, Gentlemen, that Frederick Douglass belongs to Haiti as much as he belongs to the black people of the United States. But I err in identifying him with any special race. Frederick Douglass is one of the torches which lead humanity in its march across the centuries. If the blacks of all countries can claim him as a proof of their aptitude for culture and the highest moral excellence the whole of humanity has the right to proclaim him one of her greatest benefactors, all of which makes it our duty to place in the Pantheon of Glory a statue of our dear and most admirable Frederick Douglass." Called upon for comments on the evening's program Robert A. Pelham, John Nalle, Dr. Melendez Wiseman, John T. Rhines, and Dr. Emmett Scott responded and the latter said among other things: "The diplomatic columnist of one of the newspapers of Washington, a few evenings ago, referred to the reception given by the President of the United States to the diplomatic group, and to the fact that while the reception was being given by an English speaking President, with an English speaking Secretary of State, the language of the evening was almost entirely French. He stated THIRTEEN that it was generally conceded that of the French spoken by the various diplomats none was purer or surpassed that of the Honorable Dantes Bellegarde, the Haitian Minister to the United States of America." Murray's Skits Among the amusing valentine messages and telegrams read by Mr. Murray the following provoked the most merriment: To Dantes Bellegarde, Haitian Minister: Love and Kisses.—Smedley Butler. To Ferdinand D. Lee, Chairman National War Memorial, check for $500,000 to complete war memorial, Grade rubber not guaranteed.—Mortimer M. Harris. To John T.

Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans play the 'kind of romance every boy and girl dream of in "Lovers Courageous," a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer offering which will open Friday at the Booker T. Theatre. Penned by the distinguished British author, Frederick Lonsdale, the story exudes the sweetness of love in the springtime of life. It makes you cry, strangely enough, to see this elighted pair of lovers so exquisitely happy and contented. Never has Montgomery so expertly played a characterization, endowing his role with a tenderness that robs it of none of its humor. The Lonsdale dialogue is smart and strikingly wholesome. It lacks the ultra sophistication of his "Last of Mrs. Chryne," for example, but boasts a sentimentality we never before associated with the work of this famed writer. It has been told that the story is partly based upon Lonsdale's own youth. Of that, of course, we have no confirmation. Very likely he, himself, would offer a denial. But if the lovely tale is purely fiction it is far stranger than truth itself. When you behold it on the screen you will want to feel that it is real, for the time being anyway.

Six times a week and Wednesday-Saturday matinees Davis spoke his classic line: "Gangway for de Lawd Gawd Jehovah!" The role of "Gabriel" in "Green Pastures" has been twice marked with tragedy. The original "Gabriel" was Charles Wesley Hill. He was run down and killed by a motor car during the New York run of the play. Davis, who took the "Gabriel" role in December 1930, following Hill's death, had been ailing since November, when "Green Pastures" was playing in Chicago.

Players March 4 The Howard University Dramatic Club will appear in Baltimore in Lipscomb's powerful drama of Negro life, "Daniel", under the auspices of The Morgan College Dramatic Club, Friday evening, March 4, at the Douglass High School Auditorium. The Howard players selected this powerful drama "Daniel" for two reasons. First, because it gives a clear insight on the general scheme of Negro life, and second, because they had a keen enthusiasm for the play. The Baltimore audience still remembers the Howard players from last year in their college tournament production, "The Rider of Dreams" by Ridgeley Torrene. If. Mr. Merrill Booker, reputed to be the outstanding actor in last year's contest, proves to be as effective in "Daniel" as he was in "The Rider of Dreams" the audience may readily expect an evening of ethical teaching and entertainment. The appearance of the Howard players will be the initial program of the season of the dramatic exchanges in the Negro InterCollegiate Dramatic Association between Howard and Morgan. The year's program calls for the following exchanges: Howard University at Morgan, Morgan College at Union, Union University at Hampton, Hampton Institute at Petersburg, Petersburg at Howard University. Professor Randolph Edmonds of Morgan College is national president and Miss Telima Anderson of Virginia is secretary. The dynamic star of "Millie" and "Her Man," Helen Twelvetrees will be shown in her latest picture "Panama Flo," at the Republic Theatre from Sunday to Wednesday, February 21, 22, 23 and 24. Robert Armstrong and Charles Bickford play opposite Miss Twelvetrees in "Panama Flo." The story opens in a Panama honkytonk known as Sadie's Place. Here Helen Twelvetrees as "Panama Flo" is an entertainer and when she is fired is left standard with no means of getting to New York. She tries to shake down an oil man from Central America and the events that follow makes "Panama Flo" one of the most dramatic pictures of the season. As in "Millie" Helen is again the right girl who met the wrong men. Buddy Rogers and Lilyan Tashman are featured in "The Road To Reno" which will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 25, 26 and 27. In the cast are also Skeets Gallagher and Irving Pichel. To love, honor and obey . . . till Reno do us part. When parents break for freedom what happens to the kids? Love and drama, tragedy and comedy, restless, wives, impatient husbands, reckless loving, dangerous living. See "The Road To Reno" and the road to ruin. The final chapter of "The Sign of the Wolf" will be shown on Saturday, February 27 only. 3,500 SCHOOL CHILDREN TO SING MONDAY A chorus of 3,500 school children under the leadership of A. H.

Thus the scion of one of America's most prominent stage families reaches heights commensurate with those attained by his parents in another generation. As befits a star, Chester is surrounded by four leading women in "Corsair," which is a United Artists picture. One of the four is unrecognizable by name, but fans will know her upon the screen for the first leading woman, Alison Lloyd, has known for years as Thela Todd. Miss Todd has changed her personality in this picture from that of a light comedienne to that of a dramatic actress, and her screen name was changed to fit the metamorphosis. The other three leading women are Mayo Methot, Gav Seabrook and Addie McPhail, all former stage actresses.

Joining of these two great star names is in the line with the announced policy of this studio to enhance the entertainment value of its new season offerings by doubling its stars in forthcoming casts. There are two no more striking names on the screen than Garbo and Novarro and the pairing of their personalities in a single production is regarded as an outstanding move on the part of studio executives.

NEW YORK.-The lives of Lincoln and Douglass, upon whom posterity has bestowed glory and honor; teach us that the Negro needs a new emancipation; and this new emancipation, like the first, must be hastened by his own efforts, said Doctor Ambrose Caliver, senior specialist in the education of Negroes, U. S. Office of Education, in an address, Sunday, at Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, New York City. Doctor Caliver was the guest speaker on the occasion of the Lincoln-Douglass Day exercises of the Xi Phi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The speaker said that the first emancipation needed is freedom from empiricism by acceptance of the laws of science in lieu of authority, uncertainty, speculation, ignorance, superstition, and fear, and that the intelligent use of science will minimize personalities and emphasize principles and issues as bases of action. A release from an all too prevalent slave psychology, which manifests itself in lack of confidence in and co-operation with one another, is the second emancipation to which Doctor Caliver called attention, saying that the divisive elements which overshadow the need of spiritual and intellectual unity in our common problems and which are the arch enemies of the race may be found in sectional envy, fraternal and religious jealousies, and color prejudice. Our attitude toward work is another slave tradition from which we need emancipation. The over-emphasis placed upon the professions by parents in their aspirations for their children and children in selection of their occupations indicates the need of a changed psychology which will regard all honorable occupations as worthy to be followed as careers. He emphasized the fact that successful participation in the complex and exacting occupational life today requires emancipation from many of the mental and physical habits engen dered during slavery. The third enslavement from which the race needs emancipation, averred Doctor Caliver, is the spirit of complacency, one manifestation of which is our failure to build for the future. "We can Still a few more dates open in February and March never expect to make a permanent place for ourselves in the social economy unless an attempt to perpetuate the worthwhile institutions and ideas of the race by lifting the youth to greater heights of success. This can only be done by providing for understudies, and by allowing them to step on our shoulders and build on foundations which we have already made....The whole character of the next generation can be consciously influenced for the better if each individual should assume a small responsibility in this matter....We owe it to ourselves, our race, our benefactors like Lincoln and Douglass and others, and to God, to do our part in passing on the heritage in appreciation for all the blessings which have been ours." "It is well that we pause from time to time and remember these great men whose lives are immortalized wherever the cause of freedom and human rights is championed," the speaker concluded. "To visit their shrines and to contemplate their lives are means of taking stock and reconsecrating ourselves to the completion of the task which they so valiantly began." DOUGLAS CEMT'R'Y CAUSES DISRUPTED BAPTIST MEETING Ministers Charge Graft In Cemetery Promotion And Air Insinuations The Douglas Memorial Cemetery proved the bone of contention at the meeting of the Baptist Ministers Conference as the ministers engaged in smoldering debates airing insinuations and charges of graft in connection with the proposed cemetery project. The meeting came to an end after the president had threatened to resign unless the ministers arrived at some agreement upon the charges of graft and shady dealings. "If any person in Baltimore lies on me, I'm not going to court nor the police but I'll take care of them," declared the Rev. W. W. Allen of Shiloh Baptist Church after the Rev. Hiram Smith had charged the Rev. A. J. Green with quoting the Rev. J. A. Payne as naming the Revs. Crawley, Allen and Bryant as receiving graft in the cemetery project. This was denied by the Rev. Payne and followed by a personal dispute between the Rev. Payne and the Rev. V. V. K. Stokes. Near the close of the meeting the Rev. Hiram Smith made a stirring speech in support of the in- ```markdown ``` vestigation into the graft charges from the bench seat. Order of the day was a stirring sermon from the Rev. R. H. Carter, blind evangelist of Philadel- Signs of disorder became apparent when the Rev. A. J. Green suggested that the committee upon the investigation of the Douglas Memorial Cemetery be discharged. The request was granted by the president and the Rev. S. H. James questioned the constitutionality of the committee's discharge without hearing the report. Although it was held by the chairman and several members that the report had already been made, the chairman of the committee contended the report had not been heard as coming from the committee. When the report was finally made it was found to be the same as the lawyer's report with a comment from the committee. Attorney George Evans made the report upon the cemetery project at a recent meeting and declared the property was not protected for use as a burial ground and that the ministers would not be safe in endorsing the project. The property is covered by several mortgages without provisions for paying off the notes within a reasonable time the report said. MRS. HELEN ' AYIS HONORED BY INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Rev. Mrs. Helen A. Davis, wife of the late ex-Judge Samuel G. Davis, was honored with an invitation from the Women's International League to attend a lunchon at the Carlton Hotel, last Saturday. She was extended the fellowship of the League, which she accepted, being the only colored member. Rev. Davis resides at the Davis Mission, 251 Warren street, northeast. Disarmament was discussed by Mrs. Dorothy Thompson, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, and Miss Charlotte Tuttle. Segregation Discussed At Open Forum A bombshell was thrown into the open discussion Sunday at the Baltimore Public forum when it was questioned whether the speakers would actively support their views on the method to be used by high school and college students in alleviating jim-crowism. The subject was introduced by Mr. Gough McDaniels, teacher in the local high school. Phases of the discussion as outlined by the introduction of the topic were outline as the jim-crow signs, department store segregation, discrimination in public comfort stations, and the teaching of Negro history in the public schools. Mr. McDaniels in his introductory remarks said that philanthropy s not conductive to the best interests of the Negro in that it hampers he leaders of the race and that there are usually strings attached to the offers of the large gifts. THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 M. E. 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 Glenbournie 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. The best joke I've heard this week is: Lawyer—"Now, sir, did or did you not on the date in question, or at any other time, previously or subsequently, say or even intimate to the defendant or to any one else, whether friend or acquaintance, or, in fact, a stranger, that the statement imputed to you, whether just or unjust, and denied by the plaintiff, was a matter of no moment or otherwise?" Answer me yes or no. Witness—"Yes or no what?" OFFICER CAUGHT IN SPEAKEASY OFFICER CAUGHT IN SPEAKEASY Suspension Follows Arrest Of Patrolman William William A. Johnson, a patrolman of the Second Precinct, was suspeneq Tuesday following finding him in an alleged speakeasy at 1812 Vernon street. Shepherd Hill, 32, and Alice Middleton, 27, were arrested by Sergeant N. O. Holmes and other members of a raiding squad on charges of illegal possession of liquor. Seven quarts of alleged gin were seized. Following this raid the same squad visited an apartment at 1822 Vernon street and arrested Dolores Hill, 25, and Samuel West, 31. They were chargeq with illegal possession of forty-seven bottles of beer and a small quantity of gin. All four were released under bond of $500. DR. RICHARDSON (Continued from page 9) passed resolutions endorsing the plea for an elective school board instead of the arbitrary pointing power now vested in the judges of the supreme court of the District. A resolution was also passed protesting the unequal allotment of funds for building and, rounds for divisions 10 to 13 for 1938. Mrs. Emma Allen, secretary, read a resume of the work accomplished by the association, which was complimented by Mr. Wilkinson, who suggested that the chronological work of the association should be printed and distributed, for it was the most comprehensive work of any civic association in the District. Miss Corinne E. Martin is the president. Congressman Oscar DePriest was scheduled to speak at this meeting, but was prevented by a throat affection. TRIBUNE SEEKS TO HAVE Continued from page one) Continued from page one) the court. However, other interested parties say it will be too late after the hearings are completed as much time and money will have been spent. In a letter to the Tribune this week Attorney Zeph P. Moore stated: "I read with much interest the suggestion which you made in your issue of last week, about the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. I appreciate what you stated. It requires more than court sense, and more than American cents to run a life insurance company. Just a little horse sense, since we have sent no other, would be very acceptable at this time. This whole matter should be in the hands of the stockholders, and worked out entirely by them. The officers seem to have done their best, waste no more time quarreling with them." John R. Pinkett, second vice-president, and the one who filed the petition for the receiver, took the stand, Wednesday afternoon following a two-day grilling of John T. Risher, president. On direct examination by Attorney O'Brien Mr. Pinkett related his connection with the company over a period of six years and told how he had inaugurated innovations to cut expenses. He said his salary was $625 per month. Mr. Pinkett related how he as manager of agencies spent a great deal of his time on the field directing branch offices in various sections of the country. He said his suspicions that the company was insolvent was first brought to his attention when he was asked to a conference by Mr. Risher. He said he filed the petition when he found there was no other alternative after a conference with his attorneys. He cited instances where he cut field and home office expenses over one-third. He was in the process of making other recommendations to cut overhead when conditions arose which necessitated a receiver. He claimed he had the interest of policyholders and stockholders at heart at all times. Before Mr. Pinkett took the witness stand Hoover I. Brown, company attorney, testified. Mr. Brown said he employed Judge Daniel Threw Wright as counsel. On cross examination Mr. Brown stated that he paid Mr. Wright a retainer of $1,000. He exhibited two checks of $500 cach, payable to Mr. Wright. NOT ONLY WAR [THE NEGRO NOVEL] OF THE WORLD WAR BY] VICTOR·DALY ROMANCE REALISM LOVE CHRISTOPHER PUBLISHING HOUSE Boston, Mass.

L. Gaskins was paid $1,200. Mr. Hoover Brown stated that be suggested to the directors that Dr. W. G. Lofton be employed as assistant medical director to "keep him quiet." He said he had heard that Dr. Lofton had made the remark that he would rather see the company blown up than controlled by the Rutherfords. Grand Jury To Probe Payroll (Contnued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) though, of course, the grand jury can return any finding it pleases. can return any finding it pleases. The charge against the Goughs is that young Gough was placed on the payroll of Howard from September 15, 1931 to October 31, 1931, during which time he was supposed to have been working on the grounds of the school. Records of Virginia State College showing whether young Gough was in school at the time, or was here are to be exhibited. United States Attorney Leo A. Rover admitted Tuesday night that his office had taken preliminary steps to investigate the incident. He said so far as he knew, the funds appropriated by the Government for the use of the school were not involved. In explaining the Gough situa- NOW Manha Ra WE Are Equipped to Best Me SEE IT!

The senior Gough had previously signed his late wife's name while she was ill and continued to do so after the son took the job and later left for the Virginia school. The executive board of the trustees exonerated Gough of all false pretense charges, but fined him half of the month's pay for failure to report that the son had left the university campus. The school lost nothing during the incident, according to the trustees as the senior Gough had taken care of the building in question. S. W. Rutherford Not Better (Continued from Page One) ness is short of cash doesn't always signify that the business is insolvent," said Mr. Rutherford. "Certain newspapers have been unfair," said the founder of the world's largest Negro business. A number of articles were printed that did considerable harm to the company." In his interview Mr. Rutherford sought to impress that he had the interests of the policyholders at heart at all times in making his decision to step out of the company. However, he expressed that he never would have quit if he knew that things were going to take the present turn. He is of the opinion that he has been "tricked." Mr. Rutherford believed that if the papers had taken a more favorable attitude thousands of dollars might have been saved. He said certain sensational accounts had been spread across the country and in many instances hundreds and thousands were allowing their policies to lasps. Since leaving the National Benefit Life Insurance Company Mr. Rutherford has been employed by an insurance company in another state, but he said he did not know if he had that job now as he has been here over a month and his employer might not continue to carry him on the payroll. In giving up his post with the National Benefit, Mr. Rutherford said he had made the supreme sacrifice. He readily admitted that he has given all to the National Benefit. He liked to recall the time when he was a beginner and years ago pedaled on a bicycle over the streets of the District selling insurance. Mrs. Rutherford takes a keen interest in the hearing in the District Supreme Court and is always beside her husband in court. She has attended sessions every day during the three arduous weeks. Despite the fact that Justice O'Donoghue and others not directly interested in the case are seeking some solution, it appears that the case will be another week or two before the end. In the meantime thousands of dollars are being spent and the confidence of many thousands of people is being taxed. Don't Miss THOMPSON BROS.

FOUR HELD IN ASSAULT ON DRY REFORMER Dorothy Jefferson and three companions were held under $350 bond each in Police Court Friday on charges of assault. Others held were Bell Johnson, Richard Johnson and Jessie Andrews. An alleged white police informer is said to have gone to the home of the Jefferson woman in the 1200 block of Ninth street, northwest, in an attempt to induce her to sell him liquor. Mrs. Jefferson's three companions were present at the time. Having a suspicion that the man was an informer the woman ordered him to leave her house, he refused to go, and Mrs. Jefferson, acting within her rights, attempted to eject him. He resented and the woman called upon her friends to put the intruder out. Attorney Armond Scott is counsel for the four defendants.

White Bandits Take $7000 From Two Elderly Sisters LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Lucretia and Ella Owens, elderly sisters, lost faith in banks when they lost $9,000 in a bank failure. They decided to hide their money in their small grocery store. Late Wednesday night, after the sisters had retired in their bedroom back of the store, two white men knocked at their front door, saying they wanted to buy a loaf of bread. The sisters let them in, and were overpowered forthwith. The men ransacked the house and took $7,520 in gold and small bills found in a box. FISK HEAD GIVES VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION FISK HEAD GIVES VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION WEST CHESTER, Pa.—(ANP) The president of Fisk University, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, strongly advocates higher education and more of it for all those persons who are aspiring to leadership in the Negro train, reports George W. Blount. To this end he is devoting his energies, and is meeting with remarkable success. He finds that Fisk University at present is unable to supply the demand for highly trained Negro specialists in the South. "In these days," Dr. Jones pointed out, "there are large Negro interests and there is considerable wealth and influence. While medicine workers, indifferently prepared, are a drug on the market, those having genuine ability, who are willing to make the sacrifice and attend the universities, thus preparing themselves, are in much demand." Dr. Jones has been in the North for the past three or four weeks, and has spoken at different places in the Philadelphia area, Cheyney, Lansdowne, Germantown, Philadelphia, West Chester, etc. Accompanying him is Leland DeVinney, business manager of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who is arranging a northern tour for that musical body in the spring. Said Dr. Jones: "While some people are saying that education spoils a Negro, my theory is that the men who are to be leaders of the Negro race need more education. He mentioned specifically the openings which are readily found for college trained physicians, dentists, teachers, attorneys, trained nurses, and business executives. D. C.

"What an heritage and what an enviable position you occupy," said Rev. Bundrant, "as you stand here between the monument to the 'Father of our Country' and the 'Memorial to the Great Emancipator'." After the ceremonies, the Scouts led by Scouters Brooke, Childs, Renfro, Russell, and Z. F. Ramsaur, deputy commissioner, who acted as master of ceremonies, were taken before the statue of Lincoln, where one of the guards explained in detail the history and other interesting facts about the memorial. A Scout program comprising demonstrations in scout methods, musical features and special stunts along with addresses by Major C. C. Johnson and A. J. Taylor, field executive of the Boy Scouts of America, will be given at the Garnet-Patterson School tonight (Friday). The annual pilgrimage to the tomb of George Washington will be made on February 22. TELLS HOW TO AVOID POVERTY ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.. (ANP) —Speaking on the subject, "Why Are There Poor?" Dr. John A. Lapp, professor of sociology, Marquette University, told a large audience at Florida Normal Saturday evening, that poverty is one of the greatest problems of the United States today, and that concerted efforts must be made to solve this problem. As a solution to the problem of poverty, he declared that everyone must work together in creating a scheme whereby bank deposits, health, accident, unemployment and old age insurance may be provided to eradicate or lessen the conditions of poverty. He said that five principal causes of poverty are, sickness, old age, disability, business failures, accidents and floods and depressions. Of these, sickness is the greatest common cause and effects more people, rich and poor, than any other single condition. Since health is one of man's best assets, a reduction of sickness will result in a reduction of poverty. Good health may be insured through periodical examination, sanitary conditions, and good living. Insurance against old age disability and workman compensation against injuries sustained as a result of industrial accidents, will do much to prevent poverty among the masses. Forty-four states have already enacted workman compensation laws, but unfortunately Florida is not listed among this group. Financial depressions are outside agencies contributing to the cause of poverty over which the victims have little or no power, he stated. In Chicago there are 800,000 persons who are out of work and are being partly fed by public funds. More than 3,000 persons are wholly dependent on public aid for food, clothing and shelter. New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and other American cities, are suffering from this cause, which presents a very pressing problem. Most of the people who are out of work would work if they had jobs, but are unable to help themselves under the present conditions. Dr. Lapp expressed himself as whole-heartedly in favor of legal steps for the drawing up of laws insuring bank deposits, against bank failures and workman losses against unemployment. He said that Wisconsin has recently enacted an unemployment law similar to the Dole system, now in use in England. He expressed the hope that other states may provide laws for the protection of its working class, for the reduction of this cause of poverty. Liquor drinking, laziness, and thriftleness are only minor causes of poverty. These three are dwarfed into significant when compared with the first five, he stated. "You must attack poverty in two ways," he said in conclusion, "First you must see that you remain healthy," and secondly, you must see that you are prepared to make your way in the world. When people have good health and are prepared to fill a place in the world, very few things indeed will be able to force them into the pits of poverty. I. L. D.

ITALIANS SEEK TO STOP NEGRO ICE MAN ITALIANS SEEK TO STOP NEGRO ICE MAN NEW YORK.—(ANP) —Using force in attempting to drive colored icemen out of Harlem, seven men and two women, alleged to have assaulted George Herb, 128 W. 139th street, beating him up as he attempted to deliver ice to a customer at 588 Lenox avenue, the latest Harlem racket move. One of the women, Mrs. Bobbie Stallone, 24, of 381 Hopkins avenue, Astoria LI, was also charged with assaulting policeman Groce of the West 135th street station, who caught her after her escape from Harlem hospital where she was taken for identification. The other prisoners were Joseph Stallone, 24; Alphonso Martino, 20, 2074 1st avenue; Thomas Russo, 21, 44 W, 120th street; Angelo Bonfrisco, 31, 448 W 120th street; Salvatore Bonfrisco, 20, 1946 1st avenue; Salvatore Trapani, 24, 118 Elisabeth street; Frank Lucano, 32, 599 Crescent avenue, and Mary Brown, 27, 341 52nd street. According to Herb who conducts business from a cellar at 62 West 140th street, he attempted to deliver ice in the house at the Lenox avenue address when the group barred his entrance at the door. When he asked them to move, the man said he was beaten and kicked and then cut with a knife about the head and face. After the assault, the men and women entered automobiles and were driven away. Someone telephoned the 135th street station and Policemen Groce, Rhodes, Richardson and Cooper went to the house. They rounded up the seven men and two women and took them to Harlem Hospital where Herb had been taken and he identified them. While in the Hospital, Mrs. Stallone managed to get away but was overtaken in front of the hospital by Policeman Groce. She kicked him in the abdomen and tore his uniform. Italians control for the most part the ice business of Harlem householders. Two are assigned to a block and they are supplied by Italian wholesalers. Any intrusion on their territory is jealously regarded and fought by hired thugs of the local dealers. This is the first time that a colored ice dealer has had the temerity to identify his assistants. They are held in $3,500 bail each for the Grand Jury. Jesse W. Lewis and F. Morris Murray To Address Mu-So-Lit Forum Professor Jesse W.

DR. TYLER GIVES $5,000 TO SHAW UNIVERSITY DR. TYLER GIVES $5,000 TO SHAW UNIVERSITY RALEIGH, N. C.-The President of Shaw University announces that Dr. Robert B. Tyler of Washington, D. C., an alumnus of Shaw University, has agreed to a gift of five thousand dollars to Shaw University to be used for the development of the University's library. This sum is to be paid in annual amounts of $1000 beginning this year. Dr. Tyler was graduated from the college department of Shaw University in 1890, from the College of Pharmacy of Howard University in 1892 and from the College of Medicine of Howard University in 1899; since that time he has been practising medicine in Washington, D. C. Dr. Tyler first became interested in the development of Shaw University's library when as a student he carried mail for the university. He received papers and magazines intended for the library, which at the time did not exist at Shaw. Through Dr. Tyler's insistence the first library at Shaw was begun and he was made assistant librarian. Dr. Tyler states that this gift is but a mild expression of his desire to see Shaw University succeed in its present program even at the cost of great sacrifice to himself. He has contributed this year $125 to the Current Expense and Improvement Fund of the University and has pledged $75 more to be paid before Commencement.

KIT --- 7 --- NUMBERS BARONS SUED FOR MONEY HUSBAND LOST Sick Man Used His Insurance Money to Play the Numbers CLEVELAND—(CNS) —A pathetic and strange law suit was filed here recently by Mrs. Rowena Jackson, the wife of Perkins Jackson, a bedridden cripple, against several alleged backers of Cleveland's "number racket," whom she claims by their continual solicitations made her husband an addict to the "policy game" and thereby caused him to lose $625 in gambling during the past seven months. The statute under which Mrs. Jackson sues is a half century old "blue law" which allowed the wife a right of action against a saloon keeper for the alienation of the husband's money from the wife, entitled to support. Persons named in the suit, which asks the return of the $625 lost playing the "numbers" as well as $500 punitive damages, include several colored men, frequently identified with the "policy" racket in this city. The money lost by her husband, Mrs. Jackson claims, was money gotten from insurance because of his continued illness, "which should have been used for the maintenance and upkeep of their home." Instead Jackson, is supposed to have gotten "gambler's fever" and dribbled the family money away. The case not only creates a furore here because of unique statute under which it was brought.

Neglected Page In Our Social Service History BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ASSOCIATION CELEBRATES 69TH ANNIVERSARY ASSOCIATION CELEBRATES 69TH ANNIVERSARY Established In Georgetown In 1863, Continues Its Work On Euclid St., N.W. By Victor R. Daly In these days when the ability of colored people to manage and direct their own affairs is being universally questioned, it is with no little pride and pleasure that one hears of Negro organizations, right here in our midst, that is celebrating its sixty-ninth anniversary—and is still solvent. In 1863, sixty-nine years ago, a vast horde of escaped slaves, contraband of war, were pouring into the City of Washington. To them, the District of Columbia was a Land of Canaan—a promised land. These self-freed slaves followed in the wake of the Federal armies. Some came by way of the Richmond-Fredericksburg Highway; others came into the city through Warrenton, Manassas and Fairfax; and still more came up the Shenandoah Valley to Winchester and crossed over into Maryland at Harper's Ferry, from which point they made their way into the District via Frederick and Rockville. These freedmen constituted a perplexing problem to the city and Federal authorities. Homeless, peniless, ragged and oftimes sick they had to be housed, fed, clothed and even buried at government expense. Numerous semi-charitable organizations were formed by outstanding citizens to lend a hand to these benighted sufferers. A small group consisting of Sayles J. Bowen, George E. Baker, Daniel Breed, Mrs. S. C. Pomeroy, Mrs. William Seward and Mrs. Horace Mann petitioned Congress for an act of incorporation to establish a home for destitute colored women and children. Congress, anxious to solicit the private support of these citizens in solving this acute problem, not only granted the petition, but also presented the group with a large house in Georgetown that had belonged to a man who had gone over to the rebel cause. Thus on February 14, 1863, was established the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children, Inc. This society has functioned without interruption for sixty-nine years, and it was this anniversary that was observed last Sunday at the new home of the organization at 733 Euclid street, northwest.

The first colored president was Mrs. John F. Cook, later followed by Mrs. J. E. Datcher, Dr. W. P. Montgomery, Mrs. Mary L. Meriwether and now Miss Elisabeth A. Cook. When Andrew Johnson became President after the death of President Lincoln, the former owner of the properey in Georgetown which had been serving as the home of the Association for a number of years, appealed to President Johnson for a restoration of his home Johnson, himself a Southerner by birth, and having previously represented the State of Tennessee in the Senate, promptly deprived the organization of its home and restored the property to its former owner. Once more the destitute colored women and children were homeless. By this time, the northwest section across the boundry at Florida avenue had been definitely established as a center for the freedmen. The section between Fifth and Second streets and from V to W streets was known as the Camp, and housed thousands of refugees in an enormous tent city. To the north of this settlement the Freedmen's Hospital was established in a frame building to care for the sick. Still further to the north, General Howard had already selected a site for his school, which destined to become Howard University. Consequently, it was to this section that Congress now turned for a site for the new Home for Destitute Colored Women and Children. They selected a tract of ground on Eighth street between Euclid street and Barry place. A brick building was erected here, and this served as the Home until it was repurchased by the Government last year to make way for the new Banneker Recreation Park that is to run from Georgia avenue to Ninth street, and from Barry place to Euclid street. The Association has been fortunate in acquiring a new location at 733 Euclid street, overlooking its old property, and fronting on the new park. The old houses have been remodeled and enlarged at considerable expense and care. Today they present one of the most modern and completely equipped charitable institutions in the city. The number of women inmates has steadily declined through the years; as a result, the Home has become fundamentally an Orphanage and Nursery. The group of persons who have been carrying on this work in a quiet, effective manner, individually, need on introduction to the local public; but the work of this organization and the history behind it, is not generally known to the public, yet it should be a source of pride to Negro citizens, the country over.

Roberston, 37, janitor of an apartment building at 6120 Georgia avenue, northwest, was arrested Monday following a series of complaints from automobile owners in the 1000 bock of Rittenhouse street of a flat tire epidemic. Robertson, according to police, confessed that he had been puncturing the tires of cars in front of 1000 Rittenhouse street with an ice pick, for no other reason except that he liked to hear the air escape Residents at that address had been complaining since the first of the year when they found their tires flat. Five owners complained Monday morning Robertson was arrested shortly afterwards, and charged with destroying private property. Ferdinand Morton Speaks 'Continued from page 1) last Friday night was in support of the candidacy of Joseph L. McLemore for Congress in encouraging the Democrats who want to see a Negro of their party go to the lower house. Mr. McLemore's record is worthy of the serious support of so distinguished a leader as Commissioner Morton. Although a young man, only 37, Attorney McLemore has managed to make a national reputation, as a fighter for the higher aspirations of our group in politics in the middle west. Commissioner Morton's address nor Byrd of Virginia or Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. In the hands of men of this type, the rights of all colored Americans without regard to race, creed or color would be secure. It was that great Virginian, Thomas Jefferson who was the first American statesman to advocate the abolition of slavery. I would a thousand times rather trust the future of my race to such an American than to President Hoover who has the southern democrat's head without his heart. "Withdraw your support from the dominant party when it betrays the principle for which we are fighting and for which we must and shall continue to fight until it is triumphant. The Tide Must Turn "That part of the National Democratic party responsible for Joseph McLemore's nomination for Congress from St. Louis most certainly wants the colored vote and richly deserves it. But more than that, the Democratic party is, what ever its weaknesses is, the party of liberal thought and progressive action. Perhaps the time has come when the colored voter at national elections must act not as a member of a racial group, but as a member of an economic and industrial class. For, after the Hoover administration, we shall all be Democrats. "We can doubt where America would stand today if it were guided by Abraham Lincoln." The first day her children go off to kindergarten a woman takes a deep breath, looks in the mirror, and suddenly realizes that she Dr. Johnson has been brought to a focus by the removal of Albert I. Cassell, university architect, from the position of superintendent of buildings and grounds and the appointment of Edward Hopson of Dr. John Hope, of Atlanta University, to the newly erect post. Dr. Johnson in a recent release stated that this change was made due to the rush building program at Howard University which demanded the full time of Mr. Cassell. Radio Singer Requested To Play Role Of Cupid One of the biggest jobs of a radio singer, thinks Morton Downey, star of the Camel Quarter Hour over CBS, after studying his fan mail for several weeks, is that of conducting a "Sweetchart Bureau." Every day, Downey says, he is sure to receive several letters requesting him to sing certain songs in an attempt to win back lost lovers. "Dear Morton Downey," a characteristic letter reads, "Won't you please sing 'Lover Come Back to Me' during your program next Friday. My sweetheart hasn't been to see me for a week, and if you sing our favorite song maybe he'll think of me. I know he listens to your program." There are more heart throbs in a day's fan mail than in all of the novels ever written. Downey believes, "People seem to look upon a radio performer as more than just a human," he commented. "They bare the innermost secrets of their hearts. They tell me their troubles and pleasures just as though I were some all-powerful being capable of helping them no matter what their complaint. Sweethearts are not the only ones who turn to Downey for aid in their affairs of the heart. Married couples who are separated or are having troubles often apply to him for aid. Downey remembers one instance where both a husband and wife who were separated wrote 'to him on the same day asking him to sing the same song.

OPEN EVENINGS DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR DENIES HOWARD U. PROBE The Interior Department denied knowledge of a congressional investigation of Howard University last week. A circular letter sent out last week by a "Special Investigation Committee" of the general alumni alleged that a congressional probe would be asked. The letter alleged "arrogance and ego" and other offenses and irregularities on the part of President Mordecai W. Johnson. The letter was unsigned and local alumni interviewed by the Tribune were ignorant of such a letter. The Interior Department disburse funds to the university, and a committee headed by Dr. Valton C. John, of the Bureau of Education, makes periodical inspections. This committee, in its last report, told of advances in the 10-year expansion program of the university, and said, "as a result, there has been a marked improvement in the quality of instruction and in the morale of the teachers and students." It was stated that if charges are pressed against Dr. Johnson, they would probably be heard first by the board of trustees, headed by General John H. Sherburne, of Boston, and including Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, of Washington; Theodore Roosevelt, governor-general of the Phillipines, and Albert Bushrell Hart, of Cambridge, Mass. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the board, said last week no special meeting of the trustees had been called and that the next regular meeting is several months in the future. The letter sent to newspapers last week charges that some of the alumni opposition to M.del R-11, made by R.C.A. Victor is another smash bit.

Other letter writers usually ask Downey to sing songs that awaken memories. Couples anticipating wedding anversaries frequently ask him to sing songs that were popular at the time of their marriage. Only the other day there came a request for "After the Ball" and "Silver Threads Among the Gold" is a great favorite. Among the fave titles of those afflicted by the tender passion, Downey finds, are "Lover, Come Back to Me," "Oh Promise Me," "Lucky in Love," "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Now You're in My Arms," "One More Chance," "Tea for Two," "The Kiss That You Forgot," "Love Letter in the Sand," "You Made the World Lonesome for Me," "My Melody of Love for You," "The Love Waltz," and "Come to Me." But the classic of them all is the following letter, evidently from a young-man-about-to-be-ma-rid: "Dear Morton Downey: Next Thursday night at seven o'clock I am going to be married to the most wonderful girl in the world. At seven-forty-five we will be in my automobile on our way to Niagara Falls and Canada. I have a new transitone radio in my car so we can tune in on your program.

BOOK REVIEWS Last week the ee hook review was placed in the Tribune in such a confused manner by the disarrangement of several lines that we are republishing it again this week: Now that everyone js George Washington conscious, the Father of His Country is having every phase of his life diagnosed, some favorable, and of course, a few a bit_unfavorable. ‘The Associated Publishers (1538 Ninth street, northwest, Wasking- ton, D. C.) have just issued Wal- ter’ H. Mazyck's “George Wash- ington and the Negro.” (52.15). This little volume of 170 pages, with an index of ten pages is as complete 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 a 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. 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- jing to the said estate (Bartholo- mew Dandridge) who were taken in execution, sold and purchased in on my account, in the year (—), and c¢r since have re- mained in the possession and the use of Mary...with their increase, it is my will and desire shall con- tinue and be in her possession without paying hire, or making compenation for the game, for the 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 recsive 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 ltenty-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 ther than a slaveholder in Virginia jn the 18th century, 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 deprived 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 aon study of George Washington of the condition of the Negroes during Washington’s time: eae ee a Te and resi- it ‘ashington a grad- uate of Howard University. “George Washington and the Negro” would make an excellent study “book for schools, by all means it would be well for Negro teachers to become acquainted with it, . k =—_£, Leslie Frazier Randall Junior High School Weekly News Randall Junior High School was unusually enthusiastic in its cele- bration ‘of Negro History Week. Under the direction of Mrs. O. M. Walker, Miss G. T. Dodson, Miss H. F. Morris and Miss M. A. Mil- ton, two special assembly pro- grams were held together with participation in a pilgrimage of school pupils of Divisions 10-13 to the House office Building. The pupils of Randall were par- ticularly impressed with the reality of the situation in which sitting in the Caucus Room of the House Of- fice building they were addressed by one of their own group, the Honorable Oscar DePriest, United States Congressman from Illinois, as well as by Congressman Luce of Massachusetts and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University. The experience lent inspiration and a more vivid con- sciousness of their opportunity and responsibility for the highest patri- otic service as United States citizens. “The first assembly held in the ‘school auditorium was impressive, with Miss G. T. Dodson presiding. Irene. Brannock and Annie Smith, two 9th grade pupils, presented two addresses setting’ forth the ‘reasons for celebrating Negro His- tory Week. These addressed were followed by the Negro National Anthem sung by the school. Then followed several items including a recitation of Paul Laurence Dun- bar's poem “Ethiopia” done by Lu- cille Ferguson and two solos sung by Alice Coleman and Ruth Ban- ton. Another unique feature of the program was the recitation of quotations from the autobiography of Frederick Douglass by pu- pils of the 7th grade in various parts of the assembly hall. ‘The principal addresy was de- livered by Mrs. Georgia Frazier Goins. Mrs. Goins recounted the history of Negro music from the earliest time down to the present and emphasized three distinct periods: the period of supersti- t'on songs, the period of imitation, and that of artistic fruition. Dur- ing this last period such names as Burleigh, Dett, Harrison and Hayes stand out on par with those of world artists, said Mrs. Goins. The address finished, the speak- ex rendered two brilliant piano se- lections from a colored composer. On Friday the program consist; ed chiefly of a play, “Ethiopia,” presented by a group of pupils and directed by Mrs. 0, M. Walker. In the trial of nations, Ethiopia was challenged before the bar to vindi- cate her claim to a place beside Justice on the throne of Civiliza- tion, All possible attempts were made to dicredit and supress the witnesses of Ethiopia. ,Even the judge himself seemed swayed by prejudice but facts would, not umiliated and finally Ethiopia emerged. as vietor and. co-parther ‘of Justice, SOUTH EAST HOUSE SNAP SHOTS » Joseph Drew, recent graduate of Howard University. js now director nf Boys Activities, at South East House.

Only 69c PEOPLES —The Better to Serve You "All Over Town" PEOPLE 1 1/4 cups cooked fish 2 cups mushrooms 4 tablespoons butter GEORGE WASHINGTON 1733-1821 7733-1821 WASHINGTON Pepper Wash the mushrooms, skin the caps, and cut the mushrooms in half or into several pieces if they are large, slicing down through cap and stem. Lightly flour the slice's mushrooms. Melt the fat in a heavy skillet, add the floured mushrooms, and brown delicately over moderate heat. As liquid cooks out of the mushrooms, pour it off and save it to add later. When the mushrooms are well browned, pour in the milk or cream add the mushroom liquor, salt and pepper, and stir until the sauce is the right consistency. Serve on slices of crisp toast. HOW TC PREPARE MUSHROOM SAUCE Fresh, canned or dried mushrooms may be used. Fresh mushrooms should be pan-fried for five minutes and cut in small pieces. Dried mushrooms should be soaked and pan-fried for five minutes, then cooked slowly in the sauce for 10 minutes. Make brown sauce of butter, flour and soup stock. Add the mushrooms to the meat gravy and cook for two minutes. OYSTERS IN HAM CURLS WITH HOLI DAISEI, SALICE Fold thin slices of cooked ham around 2 oysters. Broil about 10 minutes. Serve with Hollandaise sauce. Allow 2 curls to each guest. Hollandaise Sauce Hollandaise Sauce Cream ½ cup of butter. Put ½ of that portion with 2 egg yolks, ½ teaspoon salt, a dash of cayenne, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a double boiler. Cook very slowly until the mixture begins to thicken (about 3 minutes). Then add the second ½ of butter, and as it thickens, the rest of the butter. Cook very slowly for about 20 minutes. Add ½ cup boiling water and cook for a minute more. If the sauce Brightening up the home By Dorothy Snow should curdle, it can be made smooth by beating it gradually into a little hot medium white sauce. This sauce is also good with ham and oyster curls if the salt and acid are omitted in the making, and instead 2 teaspoons prepared mustard, added for each cup of sauce. BETTINA'S STEW 3 tablespoons fat 4 tablespoons chopped onions ½ cup diced celery 1 pound hamburger steak Brightening to the home By Dorothy Snow Renew Floors Inexpensively T THE floor line, the decoration of a room really begins." Twelve million women living in homes over fifteen years old read the article so entitled, or similar ones, looked wistfully at their own floors, and wished some one would tell how they could fix these floors themselves inexpensively. T THE floor line, the decoration of a room really begins. Twelve million women living in homes over fifteen years old read the article so entitled, or similar ones, looked wistfully at their own floors, and wished some one would tell how they could fix these floors themselves inexpensively. Why, refinishing a floor is not a bugbear at all. The information we are giving you is authoritative, and we will discuss the process step by step. You can rent a sanding-polishing machine from your dealer—some machines are manufactured as two units, while others come as one machine with two interchangeable rollers—one for sanding the floor, the other for polishing wax. The rental charge is nominal. Now, you are ready to start the actual sanding, and you will be thrilled to see all those old layers of paint, varnish, etc., come off and give you a brand new surface. I have heard people at a bridge party tell of the thrill of doing this work, but did not appreciate it until I tried it myself. I know you will be fascinated. Here are some tips I learned from a professional floor sander. Always sand the floor with the grain. When starting or stopping the motor, have the machine in motion. It is advisable to go over the entire length of the floor and, ORANGE SALADS Full of Vitmins SUNFLOWER SALAD (Serves 24) 18 oranges 3 heads lettuce 50 dates lemon mayonnaise Peel oranges and remove pulp carefully from each section. Arrange lettuce on individual plates; place orange sections like petals of a flower. Wash and stone dates; cut each in 4 pieces and pile in center. Serve with lemon mayonnaise. ORANGE WITH PRUNES (Individual Service) On a bed of lettuce arrange orange slices, allowing one medium size orange to a serving. Remove stones from large prunes, which have been cooked until tender. Stuff with cottage cheese formed into small balls. Put 4 prunes around orange slices. Garnish with mayonnaise made with lemon juice. WINTER VEGETABLE SALAD 1 package lemon or orange flavored gelatin mixture 1% cups boiling water 3 tablespoons vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup diced celery 1 cup canned asparagus 2 tablespoons chopped onions 1 tablespoon chopped vinaigrette 1 tablespoon chopped piments. Pour water over gelatin mixture. Stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and sugar. Mix well and cool. Add rest of ingredients. Pour into mold and chill until stiff. Unmold on lettuce and surround with salad dressing. ·HOUSEHOLD HINTS To clean copper and brass dishes or candlesticks, rub well with equal parts of flour and salt moistened with vinegar. Apply and rub with a soft cloth and wash out in hot soap suds. Polish with a soft cloth. When grating lemon rind use just a tiny corner of the grater instead of the whole surface. It will do the work just as fast and makes less to wash. Fresh tomato salad is much tastier when some leeks are cut very fine and sprinkled over the top. Leeks give just the right soap to early spring salads. To clean brass, apply two tablespoons of hot vinegar and one tablespoon of salt. Rub well with a soft cloth and wash in hot soap suds. Use scissors to cut fruits for salads or cocktails. THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 1/4 pound pork steak 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1 cup boiled macaroni 2 cups tomatoes Heat fat in frying pan. Add and brown onions, celery and steak. Add pork and cook 2 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and pour into buttered baking dish and bake 25 minutes in moderate oven. Serve in dish in which baked. Cooked carrots, peas or green beans can be added to this stew. without turning around, draw the machine backward over the same strip. In this way you will avoid making grooves in the floor which are due to letting the machine rest or stop in one spot. When the floor is all sanded, sweep it up well to remove all dust particles before finishing the floor. The finish is a matter of personal taste—there is a large range for preference in color, materials, etc. However, we questioned architects, floor finishers, etc., to obtain a consensus of opinion on the most popular finish now being used. And we were told—a hard drying filler, clean lacquer, and wax. The fillers provide the color—natural, light oak, walnut, and mahogany were mentioned, with light and dark oak being the preferred shades. Floors formerly finished with natural filler and varnish are about the same color as floors finished with light oak filler, and lacquer, because lacquer is absolutely colorless, while varnish is amber colored. Your dealer will show you panels finished in the various effects so you can make your selection. Whatever material you select, follow the directions on the can and you will be assured of good results. On a newly finished floor, two coats of paste wax should be applied. The secret of a beautifully polished floor is applying a very light coat of wax, and polishing it well. The polisher you rented with the sander will burnish the floor perfectly. For maintenance of the floor, either paste or liquid wax may be used. Now, put your rugs and furniture back in the room; sit down and give way to that pride you feel in your accomplishment. Pleated Trimming 85—A truly shining example of the one-sided collar movement is seen in 85 with its single wide rever. The fine pleating which trims the collar and gay shoulder bow is repeated in a tuft at one side of the simple straight sleeve. The skirt is cut for a slim hipline, but retains its flare and fulness. Designed in sizes 14, 16, 36, 38 40, 42, 44 and 46. Size 36 requires 4 yards of 39-inch fabric. Simplified illustrated instructions for cutting and sewing are included with each pattern.

DEAR OLD HOWARD" This is well said, for Howard is dear to not only its alumni, those who have passed through its ivy covered walls and who are now out in the business world, the professional world and the literary world; but it is dear to all the people throughout this country by reason of its ideals, and its teachings. It is further dear to the people because it is being supported largely by the taxes paid by the people throughout the entire country. So that when we read in the daily press that officials and employees of Howard University have been summoned before the grand jury to answer possible charges growing out of what appears to be a petty internal affair at the school, we hesitate to feel that this love for Howard can be justified. The TRIBUNE feels that this and other incidents of its kind purely of an internal business nature, could have been, and should have been, settled through the business office of Howard University. Why all this turmoil at Howard? Is it due to the overlapping of responsibilities between the executive and business departments? Or is it due to the usurping of the authority or responsibilities of one department by another? Or is it due to the inactivity and lack of interest on the part of the trustee board? Or is it due to a personal fight between individuals? The TRIBUNE is not in a position to answer these questions, but ventures to say that the trustee board, through a thorough investigation would be able in a very short while to put its hand on the real fundamental cause of this turmoil which dates back to the days of Durkee and has continued with increased momentum up to the present time when we find Howard University in the grand jury room of the District of Columbia. Can it be that the trustee board would rather have Congress make this investigation, or would it not be more dignified for the trustees to make it themselves? There is one thing certain, and that is an investigation is imperative at this time. The fact that there is something fundamentally wrong is so apparent to the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE and other observers that it is strange that the trustee board has not sensed its duty in first finding out the cause and then offering a cure. From the time of the Locke and Turner cases, through three student strikes, then to the law school controversy, and the Donowa case, together with the medical dean controversies, down to the grand jury room, there appears to be merely an acquiescence and lackadaisical attitude on the part of the trustee board. If these men have lost interest, or if they are too busy, or if they are incompetent, then a board should be named that will intelligently and faithfully restore Howard University to the love of Dear Old Howard, and to the respect once held by the people throughout this land.

Again we raise the question of why something cannot be done either by agreement on the part of the present litigants or by the court to stop the present hearing, which, as a matter of fact, has all the marks of a "trial." Isn't it possible for all the parties concerned, former and present officials, and lawyers, to submit themselves to an arbitrary group of men in order that some plan may be worked out and submitted to the court, for its approval, for the protection of these policyholders? Or, are we to see the unfortunate spectacle of the complete destruction both in confidence and in assets of this our greatest enterprise while these litigants and lawyers waste their breath and their time and the company's moneys, each apparently endeavoring to either place the blame on the other or point a finger of shame one to the other? Are we to "fiddle while Rome burns," or are we to stop fiddling and put out the fire and save whatever of the ruins that are left and rebuild on the foundation that is yet, in our opinion, undestroyed? For how can any company or any business enterprise even function with its president, its secretary, its treasurer, its accountant, its agency director, its bookkeepers, and even its receiver spending nearly all their time in court for the past month, with every indication, at the rate the proceedings are going, that they will continue for at least two months longer? And when they shall have finished, what will have been accomplished other than the possible responsibility of "who did it"? If the hidden hand of the prosecuting arm of our Government is behind this proceeding and has in its mind the bringing to justice any and all persons guilty (if there be any), who have been acrimoniously responsible for this terrible catastrophe, then the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE joins with all other well-thinking people in feeling that these two or three months of "hearing" will have been well spent. Therefore, we again suggest that an impartial group of men, together with all of the litigants in this situation be formed for the purpose of formulating some business-like plan to salvage all possible assets out of, what appears to be, a wreckage, and this should be done at once. Because It Is The Unwarnished Truth R: NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Here it is. The Negro race is in a terrible fix economically. It has two millestones about its neck—the educated parasites and satisfied mendicants. We could deliver ourselves from our present state of thralldom if the majority of us were not too plain lazy to think straight and to act decisively. The fact of the matter is that on the whole we have been handling our economic and social problems so pusillanimously that the race is seriously afflicted with social epilepsy and social paralysis. We have never made a serious and united effort to co-ordinate our thinking nor our activities. We are a race of individualists, and weak ones at that, trying to function in a highly co-operative age. We cannot do it. The Negro will have to co-ordinate, organize, co-operate and degenerate. Those who try to do a one-man act are beaten before they start. Men of individualistic minds were cast into the limbo a thousand years ago. The Negro will have to learn to work together or be worked. That's that. But let's get down to brass tacks. What can he do? Some cold water mugs say—nothing. We can do a thousand times more than we are doing. Of course we do not like to see this in print, but the world knows it, and we might as well get courage enough to face the truth and sense and industry enough to do something about it. White people are spending their perfectly good money to give us all the higher education we want, but what we need is initiative and the kind of genius that turns superior training into superior service. There are new worlds to be discovered, new miracles in science to be performed, a new social order to be constructed. The Negro can start to work in his own field.

Isn't it parties concerned, former and present DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL SPENDING vs. PRODUCING The columns of the press are filled with pleas to spend. Presumably all that is now needed to restore prosperity is an avalanche of spending. There is power in spending but to get the most use from such power it must be controlled. It can be likened to a great river. There are untold uses for a long navigable river and when the waters are properly controlled much wealth and happiness will be created. But let the waters become unmanageable and utter destruction follows. Just so with spending. If we do not spend in a manner that will directly, or indirectly, produce, then our spending will be like the over-flowing river and we will have exhausted our resources in an unwise and reckless attempt at expansion. For a definite proof of this assertion there are before me as I write, various clippings, culled from papers in all corners of America, during the week, and when we combine their messages and thoroughly analyze them we have a very convincing proof that spending without producing is wasteful. One line of thought tells us that over $1,300,000,000 has been now hidden away. Others, are withdrawn from circulation and is clamoring for us to stop hoarding and spend. While others, and these are the most significant. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT By A. Elizabeth Valentine One of the great bugaboos of life today is "repression." We are more afraid of "repression" than we are of the depression. In fact we have been laboring under this fear much longer than we have had a depression. Way back in the days of golden prosperity men learned to fear this particular devil. One dare not control himself now for fear of the consequences of "repression." And the intelligentsia sugars all of its conversions with the word "complex." As a result men's wills have turned to water and their backbones to jelly. One can be quite certain that the eminent Dr. Freud and his colleagues had no idea that their theory would take such a turn. Surely they only intend that their researches in this field would lend men a more tolerant and understanding view of the weak and deficient and would give a wider knowledge of the cause and not that all men should relent and cure of some mental sicknesses their normal habits of self control to pander to every whim and desire lest they develop some complex. Is it any wonder that the world is suffering for the lack of leadership. In the last ten years men have been so busy dodging repression that they have become mired in the swamps of depression and bewidement. And there is no one to lead the way out because leadership requires strength and our modern popular thought is not conducive to strength. Self control makes for courage and shine.

Negro undertakers might form a national union and manufacture coffins. They could buy up the woods, employ workmen, build the factory on the spot. There is money in this phase of the dying business. Build a shroud factory in a metropolitan center. Furnish the whole outfit to the members of the National Union of Negro Undertakers. Go into the greenhouse business. We could give jobs to some of these Negroes who are loaded down with degrees and cannot find anything to do. They could apply their knowledge of botany and floral culture to the greenhouse business. Of course the business would have to be located far out in the suburbs of large cities. It is not easy to get many educated Negroes far from ready made jobs. The greenhouse business is an untouched field among Negroes. By the way, we have struck another snag. The essential materials, such as manure and soil are offensive to nine-tenths of the ready-made job seekers. What would we do with the greenhouses? Furnish flowers and plants for the sick, dead, marrying and graduating. What a field for a host of people who have studied botany and like to work with nature. Nature has no prejudice. She knows no race nor color. Furthermore, there is no risk in this field, because Negroes are going to die if it is the last act. They invest heavily in flowers for funerals. Is there another uncultivated field? Yes, there are dozens of them. Negro fraternal organizations spend fortunes for badges and regalia, but the time is spent parading, gripping and passwording. Fraternal organizations spend millions of dollars for printing, advertising, uniforming and showing off. They dispense charity. Nineteenth of their members need work, not charity. The Negro fraternal organizations could combine and give employment to thousands of their own members. Why don't they do it? Ask the leaders; they know. If the white people did not supply us with our funeral necessities, we would have to wrap our dead in sheets, drop them in holes and decorate their graves with weeds. Poor us! We have enough of what it takes to redeem us, but we give it to others and then we beg, whine and trail.

Read the above paragraph again. Compare the figures. Does the similarity of the amounts quoted convince you that there has been a great deal of spending that was not productful? Again, citing the case of the over-flowing river, such spending has brought utter destruction in its wake, and it is going to take a great deal of sane production to get the power properly and equitably controlled. In this nation-wide campaign for unanimous spending there is a great opportunity for the Negro. Spend, yes, but do so in a manner that will produce a corresponding earning power or that will produce openings for the Negro in keeping with his qualifications. And this does not mean that we must jim-crow ourselves or our efforts. Take part and become a factor in all things that are American. Spend, not only with those who administer to our comforts while spending, but also with those who will welcome our money on an equitable basis of ownership for being a part owner of a business is a much surer road to successful co-operation than any method of boycotting. Join in the spending crusade but produce something while spending! confidence; self pampering produces weakness and indecision. Suppose Harriet Tubman, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln and the many others who had placed the integrity of their conscience above all other considerations had been disciples of this school; where would we be today? Suppose earlier generations had withheld all training from their children and permitted them to do as they desired, regardless, for fear that they be repressed; what would have been the effect upon the entire human race? There is a statement of an eternal law, in the simple and homely yet noble language of a Book that has been so thoroughly "debunked" that our smarty and wiserracking generation has lost almost all respect for it, to the effect that, "He that seeketh to save life shall lose it, and he that seeketh to lose his life shall save it." Which divine paradox merely means in our nineteenth century language that in order to preserve ourselves we must control ourselves; and lack of this control will destroy us. The direct, and personal challenge to every individual who desires to enjoy the Rights of strength is forever as follows:— Are you strong enough to pull against the tide; Are your strong enough to be on 'the other side'? the other side! Can you stand up under scorn Have you any spiritual brawn— Are you strong enough to pull against the tide? Can you stand being called a "poor sport" Can you stand the sting of false report?

It is purely better for an intelligent and moral being to do right from his own will, than to pay another to force him to do right. THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 JAPANESE MAKES HISTORY By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) We do not like war, but we do like the Japanese. They are the first colored nation to refuse to take orders or to be bluffed by white Europeans and Americans in generations. In that act they have ushered in an epoch; they have actually put an end to "white supremacy" in the world, "Extra territoriality," the unhindered exploitation of "darker races," and to enslavement of India and Africa are all bound up inseparably in the consequences of the action of Japan in Asia in the 20th century. Peace-loving people will always have to admit that the only reason why Japan is getting away with her freedom to act and think for herself is her force—her "brute-force," her military and naval power, her great guns! It may be a pity, but that does not make it untrue, that power, force, is the only argument that the white world would hear from the dark world in this year of Christ. "Moral suasion" would not be worth a damn; if you have nothing to back you up but beautiful words and charitable sentiments, they will tell you where to lead in and when to stop. It takes courage for a peace-lover to admit the cold truth; but nothing but Japan's great guns, the skill indicated by her leaders of force, and their apparent willingness to suffer and die—only hose "sordid" things can save her government and her people now. If she were weak, we would have sent cruisers and battleships, not "notes" to her ports, and orders to her leaders. And it is not a bit strange that we think Japan is as wicked in seizing Manchuria and insisting upon her right to protect her own nationals according to her own judgment and to decide for her when self and where they need protection. Bless you, that sounds just like white folks! That could have been said by London, Paris, Washington, or Mussolini. And how beautifully Japan has "behaved" when the whites wanted to take land, right in her back yard; they did not go to war with us when we took the Phillipines right from under their noses. (We would certainly have gone to war with them if they had taken Mexico, or Chile, or any little island anywhere in the Western Hemisphere). And if we were taking Haiti or Nicaragua or taking Texas or California away from Mexico,—how much "nerve" we would have thought the Japanese to show if they had sent word from Asia to tell us what to do in America! Manchuria and Shanghai are both in Asia, next door to Japan,—and Japanese have better reasons to go into Manchuria than we ever had to go into Mexico or Haiti. We used our right of might. In the, Japanese have learned from us; they have only learned faster than some of the other "colored nations" Abyssiniaia lickei, Italy over a generation ago, but fortunately, Abyssinia had no navy, and Italy, England and France promptly seized all of Abyssinia's coastline, nullifying their victory, and subjecting them in fact and until now to the mercy of these great "white powers." We wish Japan and China were co-operating instead of fighting each other. But China is not yet ready for co-operation; the Chinese cannot yet co-operate even with Chinese. Their time will come, however, the "blood and iron" of brutal war will weld together even China. Meanwhile, and frankly, though we hate war, we like Japan and Japanese. Political corruption is in no respect the less wicked, because it is so common. Dishonesty is no better policy in the affairs of state than in any other affairs; though men may persuade themselves and others to the contrary. The father who plunges into business so deeply that he has no leisure for domestic duties and pleasures, and whose only intercourse with his wife or children is a brief word of authority, is to be greatly pitied and to blamed— We should always bear in mind that, it is the privilege of human beings deliberately to modify their instincts and habits, and to build up new habits which will make them masters of themselves and to a degree of their environment. A civilized people has no right to violate its solemn obligation, because the other party is weaker. A strong nation has no right to lie to a weak nation. The simple fact, that two communities of moral agents have entered into engagements, binds both of them equally. A child enters into the world utterly ignorant, and possessed of nothing else than a collection of impulses and capabilities. It can be happy and useful only as this ignorance is dispelled by education! Every citizen, as an individual, is bound to observe, in good faith, the contract which he has made with society. This obliges him to observe the law of reciprocity, in all his intercourse with others. FEATURES PLAIN TALK PLAIN TALK No activity now taking place in Baltimore can be of greater importance to us as a race than the organization of the housewives and the making way for a place for a chain store among our people. Not only will it make places for our boys and girls in that particular chain, but will command the respect and attention of other firms and will finally be the means of placing our offsprings within numbers of the greater corporations doing business in the city. White people love money; they love power and when they find that Negroes have sense enough to take the proper means to help their boys and girls, these people will do something to help them also. Not willingly maybe, but nevertheless they will meet the situation of falling off in business and incidentally we will be the benefactors. Nor is there any telling how far reaching it may prove. When your sons begin to feel that they have something to live and work and hope for, they will take on new life and interest. And when the Negro himself fully realizes that he can do one thing, he will try something bigger. The whole plan savors of intelligent thought and leadership and for one I hope it mee's with success. One thing will have to be thought seriously upon, the matter of meeting the other fellow's prices. Better to have a few specialities at a reasonable figure and at a bargain, than a full house of goods too high to attract. We wish it success. We awaits its beginning. We pledge our most hearty support. Settling Church Rows. Some few days ago a local congregation fell out and set about to part company. This is nothing new however in Baltimore Baptist Churches. They have been splitting and quarrelling among themselves since old man John Carey saw a chance to preserve a job for himself by splitting the First Baptist Church and organizing Union Baptist Church in 1852. The thing that is news however, and good news too, is the fact that after falling out among themselves they had the good sense and good Christianity or something, to get together and talk the matter over Without the white man, and finally settle their differences without a public siring and court scrape. Abyssinia Baptist Church is not the largest church within the city. She can't boast of numbers of the so called intelligentia, but Abyssinia can feel $a_{nd}$ I can boast for her, that she has in it some real men with common sense and that's saying more than I dare say of all the churches I know of. I desire to congratulate these brothers who did such a courageous thing and for the church and retiring minister who had the gumption to step down and out of the scene without dragging his congregation through hell and fire. I am not saying who is right, its none of my business. Both factions however proved themselves right when they attend $a_{nd}$ to their own business like Christian gentlemen and the Father's children. And it takes a bigger Christian to surrender a point for peace's sake than one who fights it through just to prove he is right. May there be peace and happiness at the end of the road. A Great Service. If I were asked to name the two persons rendering the race the best service at this time, I should not hesitate to name Mr. Gough McDaniels and Miss Jaunita Jackson. Both are engaged in a similar kind of work. Both are placing before the youth of the race some of the best talent to be had—experts in their several lines, in a hope that the youth and their sires, will find newer thoughts and ideas and better outlooks upon life. They bring thought provoking topics and appetizing morsels of brain food. Miss Jackson, with a setting of a Christian Church and God-fearing people, represents the newer, yet more conservative thought of the day with a plea for a revival of Christian thinking and living. Mr. McDaniels within a setting of revolt and upheavals leans towards the more radical issues of the day. Both are serviceable; both are entertaining; both are essential, for no man may decide a problem correctly unless he knows the whole facts in the case. We congratulate them both upon the service they are giving Baltimore. A virtuous people will, by their own moral power, frown away oppression, and, under any form of constitution, become essentially free. A people surrendered up to their own licentious passions, must be held in subjection by force! Those of us who habitually violate our conscience, not only is more feebly impelled to do right, but we become less sensible to the pain of doing wrong. Children are influenced by example more readily than by any other means. The longer the parent maintain his superiority in knowledge, wisdom, and morality, the better it will be for both parties. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THE NEGRO AND COMMUNISM In a recent issue of Harpers Monthly, Walter White, the amiable and efficient executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, treats the question of the Negro and Communism in his usual intelligent and lively fashion. This militant organization, smarting under the stigma of being outsmarted by the more radical Reds in the Scottsboro embroglio, quite skillfully clarifies its position before the public which usually looks to it for leadership in such defensive movements. All new fangled isms about a new social and religious order are calculated to appeal to the down cast, the underprivileged and the dispossessed. The glittering hope of an Eldorado or $n$ Promised Land always makes a plausible appeal to those who wander in the wilderness, as if without hope. All mon cunning. They bring the such movements possess a comproffer of good gifts in one hand and concealed proselytism in the other. The shrewd missionary to China or India converts his "Rice Christians by offering rations first and religion afterwards. The American Communists offer the Negro Race equality which is certainly as attractive to him as a handful of rice to the starving heathen. They also offer evidence of the sincerity of their preachment by concrete fulfillment. They seem to be willing to suffer and even to die for the doctrine which they proclaim. They aroused the conscience of the civilized world over the enormity of the uniquity of Scottsboro. If their zeal and devotion in this instance could be isolated and considered as a detached act of pure humanity, their cause would simply be irresistable. But unfortunately, we regard this unselfish act of human service as a thing of itself apart. We cannot divorce it from the involved political and economic propaganda which lurks behind it. Their obvious ulterior purpose is to inveigle the unsuspecting Negro into their political and economic scheme calculated to destroy existing social order and substitute Communism in its stead. That this propaganda synchronizes with the period of our deepest depression and dependence is a tribute to the shrewdness of those who planned its timeliness. They would precipitate a class war and align the Negro on the side of labor against capital. The plea is perfectly logical, and perfectly absurd. It is true that the Negro normally belongs to the labor element of the equation. But race prejudice runs deeper than economic welfare. If labor BOOK REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWS "THE WILL TO WIN" By Frank H. Cheley (W. A. Wilde Co., Boston, Mass.) This is an inspirational "pep" book, edited primarily for boys, but ideally suited for all types and all ages. It is dedicated, "To the American. Boy." with these words; "The world awaits you. From every realm of constructive endeavor comes the cry for leadership. The world's problems are greater than the men who are dealing with them. Ordinary men cannot hope to deal with extraordinary situations. Will you rise to the opportunity—will you accept the challenge to become an 'above the average' man? Then you must be every day the 'above the average' boy—for what you are to be you are now becoming." The book is divided into three sections. The first, "Little Leads to Leadership," contains twelve peppy chapters on how to develop individual personality. The second section, "Little Beads to Character," is made up of ten chapters, thoroughly describing and analyzing the elements that constitute character and aptly illustrates many little incidents in the lives of men possessing great character. "Little Leads to the Great Game in Life," in twelve chapters, constitute the third section and $a_{5}$ all games, even life, must have a set of practical, logical and sane rules to follow, this section of the book is extremely valuable to the reader who is anxious to play the game of life according to the best accepted rules. For your son, brother, nephew or boy friend, secure "The Will to Win" and see that he reads it. Clifford C. Mitchell. A man, before the commission of crime, can foresee no reason why he might not commit it, with the certainty of escaping detection—but, as soon as he becomes guilty, his relations to his fellow-men are entirely changed. Reincarnation sets at diffiance the immutable law of evolution. It degrades the spirit by thrusting it back rotatively into the flesh, and is ret-litory and vindictive enough to punish souls in this life for wrongs done in a previous life. should win against capital, the issue between white and black labor would be doubly intensified. It is capital, mindful of its own interest, that keeps white labor's hand off the black workman's throat. The color bar prevails in the labor ranks throughout the white working world. It bars the Japanese and Chinese from the Pacific coast. It shuts out non-white immigration from the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and indeed from all lands where the white man dominates and where there is any fear of competition between white and colored labor. It is not necessary to doubt the sincerity of the overzealous Communists who, in their confidence, born of enthusiasm, offer that which is not theirs to give. These perervi el evangelists of the new order have little or no influence with the rank and file of the white labor world, and utterly fail to interpret its spirit and purpose. The labor organizations teach a different doctrine and tell another story. Nor need we be misled by the instances of individual kindness and courtesy which an occasional colored visitor or workman recites concerning Soviet Russia. Race prejudice is evoked by the mass, rather than by a handful of individuals. Ten million Negroes or Chinamen in Russia, would in all probability arouse the same spirit of race antagonism as we now see exhibited in Alabama and Georgia. What guarantee is there that Communism would control the rancor of race in the midst of comparative, rival ad competitive racial numbers? Prudence, if not conscience, makes us think of the ills we have, rather than fly to those we know not of. The American Negro's only hope lies in the orderly fulfilment of the doctrine outlined in the Constitution of the United States. Whatever economic or political changes may be desired, they must come through progressive reformation under the Constitution and the law. In the language of the findings of the recent Negro Non-Partizan Conference, the Negro must adopt the modified motto of Frederick Douglass: "The Constitution is the ship; all else is the sea." A race without economic or political self-direction, will dangerously ally itself with the wild ranks of restlessness as impotent as themselves. Strength cannot be deprived from an aggregation of weakness. A competent quantity cannot be built up on the basis of zero. Let the Negro stand firm and unfinchingly with those who would fulfill the law, and not with those who would destroy it. The wisdom of the N.A.A.C.P. is sound. Let us fear the Reds, even though bearing gifts. The office of the busy physician is a sort of clearing house. While my practice in the main is devoted to diagnosis and health examinations, I find myself being called upon so frequently to help make social, economic and domestic adjustments. I suppose every physician has such experiences, but to me they are very significant. Almost everywhere we observe that the majority of Negroes are living far beyond their means, any time. It is most unfortunate mostly on credit and the deferred payment plan. This is unfortunate at this particular time. The white people are retrenching and reducing their methods of living to fit the occasion. On the other hand there are too many Negroes who either do not know or are ashamed to admit that General Depression is upon them. The whites are curtailing in the matter of lavish entertainment and useless extravagance, but blissfully and foolishly Negroes are running on full steam and hot air without regard to cost or a quiver of conscience. With nerves all shot to pieces due to excessive/attempts to "keep up with the Jones," it is little wonder that we see so many evidences of home tensions, domestic clashes and economic worries. It is all so foolish yet in most instances as avoidable as it is foolish. Only recently have nervous disease reached a point of significance among Negroes, but they are now on the increase due to the high tension living which we seem to feel as our holy duty to adopt. A poor people should as nearly as possible live a simple life, which after all does, not mean a joyless life but certainly one within their means. Negroes are as yet a poor people but for some foolish reason seem bent upon "blinding" themselves otherwise. We lead as victims of too many diseases already without adding to the number. Let us be sensible and at least attempt to see the light. It will pay in many a way. We should and must play, but let us learn how to play sensibly and with a certain conservation which some day will bring rewards, a same recognition and peace of mind. TAXABLE LAND AREA OF THE DISTRICT GREATLY DIMINISHED ST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Bicentennial Celebration Offers Big Revenue for Rented Rooms Bicentennial Celebration Offers Big Revenue for Rented Rooms The program for the nine-months-long celebration in Washington of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Father of His Country, which begins tomorrow (Saturday) and lasts through Thanksgiving Day, November 24, has been completed by the Bicentennial Commission. A definite date has been assigned to about "60 major and collateral" events. "Preparations are being made," says a published statement by Dr. George C. Havenner, executive vicechairman of the District Bicentennial Commission, "for the reception and entertainment of a greater number of visitors from all parts of the United States and from Canada and foreign countries than has ever before visited Washington in any given year. Conservative estimates of this number have been placed at from six to eight million visitors. "Those events which we have listed as major events will be held under official auspices. As the program is carried out, they will constitute what may be termed the peak days. These events will be the greatest drawing cards in attracting visitors and for this reason they have been given definite dates far in advance so that prospective visitors from all parts of the United States may arrange their travel itineraries accordingly. "In addition to the schedules of major and collateral events in our program we are also including 165 conventions to be held in Washington during the Bicentennial year. This list has been compiled by the greater National Capital Committee of the Washington Board of Trade. These conventions will bring not only large numbers of delegates to Washington but the usual number of unofficial visitors, such as members of delegates' families and friends, who will greatly augment the crowds which the Bicentennial will attract." It looks like a big year, and it would do well to get in on some extra money by advertising that empty room. Persistent advertising in the classified columns of the TRIBUNE will bring you certain results. THEATERS SPORTS NT NEWS OF THE NATION'S AXABLE LKINSON AND R.

IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE SAYS HUSBAND IS CRUEL, WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE SAYS HUSBAND IS CRUEL, WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE Postoffice Clerk Sued For Separate Maintenance By His Wife Claiming that her husband failed to provide for the maintenance of their home and on February 8 struck and assaulted her when she asked for funds, Mrs. Pearl M. Mill 1936 Second street, northwest, filed a petition for separate maintenance in the District Supreme Court Tuesday through Attorney J. Franklin Wilson. Mrs. Bell States in her bill that she was married July 20, 1923 in Baltimore by the Rev. William H. Dean. She states that she lived with her husband in the District of Columbia until April 1928 when her husband began to neglect her. The petition states that although Bell receives a salary of $2,100 per year as a clerk in the City Post-office he has refused to provide her with the necessities of life. Mrs. Bell tells the court that she is employed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at a salary of $4.80 per day out of which she is forced to pay $45 per month on their home besides the household expenses. She states that she and her husband purchased their home on Second street and both made payments until the second trust was placed in the Building Association in December 1926; that from and after that date her husband was to make payments of $45 per month, but he failed to make these payn- its. To prevent the sale of the property a second deed of trust in the sum of $500 had to be placed. Mrs. Bell asks the court for allimony and have her husband restrained from molesting her. Tabernacle Baptist Rev. J. C. Lott, of Austin, Texas, officiated at all of the services on last Sunday. He talked with the children concerning salvation. "God Is Love," was the theme of his sermon at the regular morning service. He said that in definitions God, John might have called Him a God of power or a God of might, but instead he defined Him as a God of Love; a title that seems to bring Him closer in the hearts of men. In the afternoon, the building was packed to its capacity. Rev. E. C. Smith was master of ceremonies. Rev., Lott preached. The music was furnished by fifty voices from the senior and junior choirs of the church. They were directed by Miss Daisy Young, of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Unique Celebration The Men's Club of the Metropolitan Baptist Church is sponsoring a new form of patriotic celebration as an American History Contest and Musical Entertainment. The contest, while being highly cultural, has all the thrills of the ancient chariot race or the modern football game. Special musical numbers will be given by the Treble Clet Quartet. Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor. MISS JOY POWELL WINS ORATORICAL CONTEST AT H. U. "Justice and Freedom" Used As Her Subject. Frank Davis, Second "Justice and Freedom" was the subject of the oration with which Miss Joy Powell, member of the sophomore class at Howard University won the oratorical contest in Andrew Rankin Chapel Thursday evening, in connection with the celebration of Negro History Week. Miss Powell is a native of Struthers, O., and is president of the Mu Lambda Lambda, women's debating society. The second prize was won by Frank G. Davis, of Baltimore, graduate of Douglass High School. Mr. Davis is also a member of the sophomore class and spoke on "The Negro, an Asset to American Civilization." Miss Arnetta Colbert, of Calloum Falls, S.C., who spoke on "The Negro and Music," was awarded third prize. The other two contestants were: Miss Ahnastasia Scott, who won the Elks' Oratorical contest last summer in Philadelphia, with the award of a thousand dollar scholarship, who spoke on "Black Souls"; and Leroy Weeks, who selected as this theme, "Up from Slavery." Judges of the contest were Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Prof. Benjamin G. Brawley, and Emmett Dorsey, members of the University faculty. Miss Powell's winning oration follows in full: "Freedom and Justice, Freedom and Justice, Abraham Lincoln realized the value of justice as the rule of political conduct and proclaimed it with indomitable courage in the teeth of appalling dangers. It is difficult to conceive, impossible to picture, the unwearable patience, the unabated diligence with which Abraham Lincoln pursued freedom and justice. In the face of difficulties almost incalculable he was able to succeed. Lincoln made freedom the birth right of all people; Lincoln made the Constitution a force that renders justice to the possessions of all men. "The eloquence of Lincoln's second inaugural address is approached by no other utterance purely human. It is the highest monument to morality and justice ever built by the words of man." "In sentences of haunting beauty he bemoans the length of the war, yet without one word of bitterness against the foe. He spoke with forbearance, almost with tenderness of the enemy who had wrought such injury to his beloved country. With no suggestion of reproach he acknowledged that both sides read the same Bible, prayed to the same God, each invoking His aid in the war, strange though it seemed that any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing bread from the sweat of another man's face. Sadly he suggested that the war might be a penalty imposed by Almighty God upon this nation for having tolerated slavery, and he concluded his suggestion with: "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continues until the wealth piled by the bondman's 250 years of unrequite, toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as it was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." "With malice toward none, with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds—to do all that will achieve a just and lasting peace with ourselves and with all nations." "Years have lapsed since this mightly struggle. Again we are engaged in a Civil War—a war for political freedom and justice. No longer is the constitution a force that renders justice the possession of all men. The Negro of the Washington Tribune THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1932 PROTEST AGAINST UNEQUAL SCHOOL APPROPRIATIONS A mass meeting was held Thursday night under the auspices of the Interracial Committee on Education of the District Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the auditorium of Barnet-Patterson Junior High School as a protest against the unequal school funds in the District. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, president of the local Branch of the N.A.A.C.P., was chairman of the committee and presided. Some of the conditions in local schools brought out were that the children of Garrison, Harrison and Cleveland Schools have been huddled in miserable portables, in overcrowded classrooms and given part-time instruction for more than ten years. This was done while patrons of schools and the Budget Committee marked time until some school for whites is vacated. Speakers pointed out that Old Business High, Rhode Island avenue and Ninth street, will be vacated by whites in September and twenty classes of elementary children will be sent to this fire hazzard and danger zone. An executive committee of the Washington Elementary Teachers Union addressed a protest to the sub-committee of appropriations of the House against the inequitable policy of appropriating for whites and colored schools, on Tuesday. The Union recommended that appropriations for buildings and grounds for colored schools be upon a per pupil basis, as is now true of text book appropriations. The budget for 1932-33 carried recommended appropriations of $1,356,000 for whites and $334,000 for colored or a division of 80 per cent as compared with 20 while the schools population is 67 per cent white and 33 per cent colored. This ratio has been used in appropriations for the last three years. CHAS. RICHARDSON ASKED TO USE BACK DOOR CHAS. RICHARDSON ASKED TO USE BACK DOOR Lord Baltimore Hotel Insults Popular Radio Singer At Ad Club Dinner Baltimore. Md. The Lord Baltimore Hotel added another insult to the many last Thursday, when Charles Richardson, popular young radio artist, was asked by a doorman to use the back entrance as the singer entered the hostelry to appear before the Advertising Club of Baltimore. Richardson said he asked that Mr. Bittle of the Pioneer Baking Company, bakers of Bittles piees—be called. Mr. Bittle left the dinner and demanded that Richardson be accorded all privileges given other participants. His request was granted and Richardson then was allowed to enter the front door and elevator. He is under contract with the pie company in tri-weekly broadscripts. On December 19 last, the Morgan College Quartet was asked to use the side door of the Southern Hotel and refused to sing. In connection with the insult to Morgan College singers, Mr. W. Jackson, manager of the Lord Baltimore Hotel told the Tribune that the policy of their house was to accord all entertainers regardless of color the same privileges and that when colored entertainers were invited to the hotel they would be treated the same as the others. Mr. Jackson could not be reached on Thursday nor Mr. Mac Speeden. This inconsistency in policy has neither been affirmed nor denied by the management of the hostelry. Richardson is heard through a Baltimore broadcasting station three times each week and has become one of the most popular race artists appearing before the microphone. He is the first Negro to receive a contract to broadcast from Station WCRM. His singing at the Ad Club dinner received much favorable comment and he was frequently called "Bing," the moniker given him after Bing Crosby, by Paul Billotti, a studio director at the radio station.

TWENTY-FIVE ARE TREATED THIS WEEK AT FREEDMEN'S Struck in the face with a plate during an altercation at 1340 Riggs street northwest, Sylvester Langford, 18, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for lacerations of the right cheek, Tuesday. The injuries were said, by police, to have been inflicted by Marshall Monroe, 41, of the same address. Twenty-five other patients were given treatment by physicians of the emergency department of Freedmen's Hospital over the week-end. They were Cleo Harris, 10-year-old Mott School pupil, who suffered a sprained back and neck after a fall on the school steps; Georgia Patterson, 25, and Louvinia Taylor, 30, both of 1017 New Jersey avenue, northwest, for slight knife wounds, reported to have been inflicted by an unidentified cab driver; Wesley Johnson, 42, 1222 Eleventh street, northwest, for gunshot wounds in the left thigh; Willie Mae Knight, 19, 1431 Varnum street, northwest, for stab wounds of the neck, arm and back; Julia Moten, 22, for incised wounds sustained during an altercation at her home, 1727 Fourth street, northwest.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER SPEECH FRAT VOTES TO UPHOLD COLOR BAR SPEECH FRAT VOTES TO UPHOLD COLOR BAR Wisconsin Legislature Passes Resolution Condemning Racial Ban MADISON, Wis.—(ANP) Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary speech fraternity, which, with two other speech societies, has for twenty-five years constitutionally barred Negroes from membership, will continue to do so in the future. This announcement was made last Monday by Prof. Henry L. Ewbank, of the University of Wisconsin speech department and national president of the fraternity, following the tabulation of the votes of the fifty-eight member chapters throughout the country. Called upon to vote on the amendment to the national constitution last June at the convention held at Evanston, Ill., forty-five chapters, in sealed ballots, voted for the amendment and thirteen against. According to the constitution, however, thirteen negative votes were just enough to defeat it. The defeat of the amendment culminates seventeen years of sporadic attempts to lift the color bar, attempts which were crystallized last May when the Cardinal, university daily, launched a vigorous editorial campaign against the anti-Negro clause which prohibited the university chapter from admitting to membership George James Fleming, winner of the Frankenburger cratorical contest, varsity debater, and member of Phi Beta Kappa. The Cardinal's attack on the racial stipulation was taken up by the metropolitan press throughout the country and resulted in a concerted move to amend the constitution. The two houses of the Wisconsin legislature also passed concurrent resolutions condemning the racial ban, and one white student, Otto S. Zerwick, refused to be initiated into the local chapter after he found that Fleming could not be admitted. "It is significant," stated Prof. Ewbank, "that only about half of the negative votes came from Southern chapters." The entire university fought to lift the bar, and it was Prof. Ewbank and Ted Kamholz, a student, who as Wisconsin delegates to the convention, stood the brunt of the battle. It was Yale University, however, which introduced the amendment. *No announcement has been yet made as what will be the next step, but reports coming from the University of Illinois and Yale state that the chapters of Delta Sigma Rho in those institutions are willing to withdraw from the national body and form a new honorary speech society which shall have no barg of race, creed, or color. DR. PORTER SUED FOR $15,000 DAMAGES Dr. James A. Porter who lives at St. Catherine and Jay streets, northwest, was named defendant in a $15,000 damage suit filed in District Supreme Court Friday by Hillary Wheeler, of 4829 Clay street, northeast, at Attorney Armond W. Scott. Mr. Wheeler alleges in his declaration that on last November 6, Dr. Porter negligently and carelessly operated his car, failed to give any or proper signal or warning of his approach and used no effort or precaution to control or stop his automobile while driving east on Bemnings road, northeast, near the bridge, thereby causing a collision between Dr. Porter's machine and a horse and wagon owned and driven by Wheeler. Wheeler avers that the collision caused him to be thrown to the road, inflicting severe lacerations of the left thumb, the loss of a finger-nail, contusions and abrasions of the thigh, and lacerations over the right eye, which necessitated hospital treatment. He claims he is still under hospital treatment. The wagon was also said to have been greatly damaged and Wheeler asks for $15,000 damages and costs.
