JOSEPH H. DIGGS GIVEN LIFE FOR HOTEL KILLING
Woodman Park Hotel Doorman Sentenced for Slaying Assailant
Joseph Henry Diggs was sentenced Friday by Justice James M. Proctor in District Supreme Court to life imprisonment following his conviction of murder in the second degree.
Diggs was convicted of the murder of William Frank Norman, wealthy white man, who had slapped him, in front of the fashionable Wardman-Park Hotel last August 12. Many prominent persons testified in his behalf. He was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Julian Richards.
Diggs was a former doorman at the hotel and claimed he shot Norman after the latter had slapped him several times. The doorman claimed self-defense and said he was afraid of the big white man who on several occasions had threatened him. The bad blood between the two arose over the fact that Norman defied the doorman and continued to park his automobile in a restricted area over the protests of Diggs. Diggs was well liked at the hotel by guests and many expressed sympathy for him. Norman was from Tennessee.
School Children To Visit Capital

THERE ARE ONLY THREE THOUSAND NEGRO PHYSICIANS Washington Has 135,000 Negroes With 132 Physicians
CHICAGO, (ANP) — According to a statement issued by Dr. Julian Lewis, of the Provident Hospital staff, and associate professor of the University of Chicago, there are 3,239 physicians of color in the United States. Of this number 239 are located in Tennessee and the next greatest number, 267, are in the state of Illinois. Of especial interest in Dr. Lewis' report, which appears in the Provident Hospital News Bulletin, is the statement that 52.3 per cent of the physicians were trained at Mearry Medical college and 20.9 per cent come from Howard university, the Southern states have 61.9 per cent of all colored physicians, while the north, including the far west has 28.1 per cent.
In the states of Idaho, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming, according to this bulletin here are no Negro physicians, and Montana has only one, with Rhode Island, Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico and Washington boasting if three each. Dr. Monroe N. Work, in the current edition of the Negro Year book, of which he is editor, states that there are 4,000 Negro physicians in the country and further declares that he arrived at this figure from the U. S. Census reports of 1930 thereby answering the query made by Dr. Lewis as to the method by which this figure was reached.
MAN KILLED IN MYSTERIOUS FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Body In Ruins Nine Hours Before Found; Employed At Place
A verdict of death from burns received during an explosion of unknown origin was returned by a coroner's jury investigating the death of Frank Price, 35-year-old manager of the Penn Auto Wreck company, 1300 Eleventh street, outheast. The man's body was burned in the burned wreckage of the building Tuesday. Mrs. Lillian Price, wife of the dead man, testified before the jury that Price had left home in Fairmont Heights, Md. about 11 o'clock Monday night to make a trip to the country. It is thought that while on his way Price stopped at the store and was trapped in the building when the mysterious explosion occurred. Jacob Lewin, white, owner of the store, stated it was customary for Price to return to the store at night.
Price's body was discovered nine hours afterwards when firemen explicated the body from the debris if the building.
The body of the man was identified by the son of the owner of the building. Firemen did not know the man was in the building when was leveled about 3 a.m. by an explosion, the source of which is undetermined. Flames followed the explosion. When Price failed to show up for work at the usual hour the same morning, police went to his home, in Fairmont Heights, id. where they were informed that did not come home Monday night.
Shortly before noon police discovered the dead man's automobile parked near the wrecked building and a short time later firemen located the badly charred body in the smoking ruins. Firemen of No. 18 truck Company chopped through the burned timbers and removed bits of the crumpled walls to release the body, which was removed to the Morgue. Following the explosion, fire roke out in the debris. Flames were fed by oil and waste-material which was in the building. The force of the explosion jarred early buildings and residents in an neighborhood said they were crown from their beds.

ROPER RESIGNS AS RECEIVER FOR THE NATIONAL BENEFIT

COURT ASKS ROPER TO
CONSIDER RESIGNATION
It was learned this week that Daniel C. Roper, receiver, had resigned this week. However Mr. Roper's resignation had not been accepted by the court and he was asked to reconsider. Mr Roper had not made his final decision on Thursday.
* On Friday morning after weeks of extended examination of witnesses in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company muddle, Justice O'Donoghue sitting in the Equity Court of the District of Columbia, halted the case and said among other things: "In the opinion of the Court the possibility of anything being done by the company or by the stockholders or by the policy holders or by the officers in it, with the factionalism in it and the hard feeling that has been engendered between all of these parties can only be hoped for and obtained by the removal of any officer, present or past, from the employment of the receiver." Continuing Justice O'Donoghue said: "This is not to be construed as a reflection in any manner upon any of those officers that may be removed. The Court does not so find it and is not basing its opinion upon any such grounds.
"The five officers I referred to as being at the present time in the employment of the receiver are: Mr. Risher, Mr. Pinkett, Mr. Brown Mr. Arnold and Mr. Smith. "Counsel may draft a decree (Continued on page 6)

JANITOR, HARD PRESSED, COMMITS SUICIDE BY GAS REPRESENTATIVE ASKS SWEEPING PROBE OF H. U.
Apparently driven to distress because of financial worries, Leslie Hall, janitor of the apartment located at 1222 T street, northwest, committed suicide by taking gas at his home early Tuesday morning. The man was found in a vacant apartment on the first floor of the building by Florence Chase also an occupant of the janitor's quarters, lying across the gas stove with all the jets turned on.
The Fire Rescue Squad and Freedmen's Hospital ambulance were summoned and Hall was pronounced dead by Dr. A. W. Dumas of the hospital staff. Coroner Joseph Rogers later issued a certificate of death by suicide.
Friends of the suicide victim said Hall had repeatedly worried over money matters, and stated the night before his tragic death "I don't know where I am going to get the next meal."

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Torn from her husband and two of her children, a Negro mother and seven children were returned to Durham, N.C., by New Haven officials. This act is seen by the International Labor Defense as the first move in a drive to dump thousands of Negro workers and their families in the North back into the intolerable Southern plantation serfdom from which they have just escaped. International Labor Defense branches throughout the country have been instructed to mobilize Negro and white workers to resist this attempt of state and municipal relief agencies to pass the buck in their obligations to un-employed Negroes.

Resolution Calls For Investigation of University on Three Counts
Representative Robert S. Hall, Democrat, Mississippi, introduced a resolution in the House Wednes day proposing a sweeping investigation of Howard University.
Representative Hall's message called for an investigation by the Interior Department sub-committee of the House Appropriations Committee to be directed at three specific items.
Those listed are: The continuous state of educational turmoil and unrest at Howard University during the past three or more years; the expenditure of public funds of the university by Presi- (Continued on Page 13)

Tribune Extra Scores With Insurance Story
Again the Tribune scores.
Justice O'Donoghue rendered his decision in the National Benefit Life Insurance case Friday morning at 10:45. A little after noon Tribune newsboys were yelling extras on the streets telling a waiting city the decision in this famous case. Thousands of extras were sold. Later in the day the demand for these extras was so great that more had to be printed. Besides the story of the last hearing the Tribune extra carried pictures of the most prominent figures in the case.
This is merely another indication that no other medium can possibly take the place of the Tribune as a purveyor of news of interest to Washington. Your home home paper always serves you best.

JUDGE TO DRAFT FINAL DECREE IN INSURANCE CASE
Justice O'Donoghue Takes Action When Lawyers Fail To Agree
After two days of wrangling, counsel on both sides in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company receivership controversy failed to agree on a final decree. Justice O'Donoghue said in Equity Court Thursday morning after an all-morning session that he would draft the final decree) and postponed the case until Monday morning.
The high points of the hearing developed around a fixed date of insolvency, and the retention of any former officers of the company under the receivership.
Attorney O'Brien representing John R. Pinkett, contended that December 31, 1236 should be get as the date of insolvency while Attorney Daniel T. Wright argued that the date should be September 10, 1931, the day the petition was filed by John R. Pinkett, second vicepresident. Mr. O'Brien also contended that a state of moratorium should be declared whereby policyholders should not be required to pay premiums. The court took exception to this as under this arrangement the company would not be a "going concern". Justice O'Donoghue said his mind "was open" as to whether any old employees could render assistant under the receivership.

By Dr. Charles H. Wesley. Head of the Department of History, Feb. 10, Noon, Andrew Rankin Chapel.
This year we are celebrating the bicentennial of George Washington, the two hundredth anniversary of his birth, and beginning with the month of February through a large part of the year there will be national celebrations dealing with the life and activities of George Washington and his contemporaries. Mention will be made continuously of his associates in the cabinet as President, and in the war, and in national activities.
It is of interest therefore, that we should call attention to the Negro contemporaries of George Washington who were also leaders of their groups in various activities. The Washington era covers the period from 1732 to 1799, but the epoch of actual activity is the latter half of the 18th century. This was the period during which the French and Indian War, known in Europe as the Seven Years' War, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution were being fought. It was during this period that the philosophy of the rights of man, and upon natural rights, rights as Englishmen and rights as Americans, were being discussed. French philosophers had made the theories of liberty, fraternity, and equality known almost throughout the world.
It would be strange if there were not some persons of Negro descent who knew of these theories and endeavored to make them practicable in their lives and that of their group. There are few periods, therefore, in the history of the Negro in the United States which show greater activity on the part of an able leadership than this Washington era. Washington and his contemporaries are regarded as the fathers of our country. But there were also fathers of the racial group who must not be forgotten while we also consider the fathers of the nation who were more prominent. We may turn to various fields and find them in active leadership of their groups. The first of these fields is that of religion, organized religion, where from North to South individual Neighbors of outstanding ability were manifesting a leadership for the group which resulted in independent action.
In Savannah, Ga., there were two men by the name of George Liele and Andrew Bryan, who in 1773 began the organization of the First Baptist Church of an independent type among Negroes. George Liele was born a slave, and after obtaining his freedom began to preach and organize the Negroes into a church organization there. He afterward went to Jamaica and organized a church there, the first of its type in the West Indies.
Andrew Bryan succeeded him as pastor of the church in Savannah and remained there for a number of years.
Coming further north in 1776 the Harrison Street Baptist Church was organized in Petersburg, Va. This was the year in which the Declaration of Independence was issued, and when Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" appeared, the one document expressing freedom in a political world, and the other inaugurating the policy of economic liberty.
Still further north there was a man by the name of Absalom Jones who was born a slave in Delaware, November 6, 1746. He came to Philadelphia with his master and worked as a porter in his master's store. He obtained the permission of his master to attend the night school, where he obtained an education which later was to stand him in good stead. He then began, together with a co-worker, Richard Allen, to attend the St. George Methodist Episcopal Church. One morning in 1787 they attended this church while the congregation was in prayer. It had been the custom for the Negro people to sit among
the whites in any place. Very gradually as the number of Negroes had increased oft times separate services had been established, and finally the seats near the rear of the gallery and along the side of the wall had been set aside for Negro members. Jones and Allen on this particular morning went to the froft in their accustomed places instead of sitting in the seats that had been recently assigned to them. They joined in prayer. While there the usher came forward, seized them by the arm, and insisted that they arise and leave and return to the places assigned to them. Absalom Jones turned to the usher and said, "If you will leave us alone, we will go out and bother you no more. Wait until prayer is over."
At the conclusion of the prayer, Jones, Allen, and the group who entered with them left the St. George Methodist Episcopal Church with a determination to establish an independent organization of their own. Under Jones' leadership there was established the St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church in 1791 which is still in existence in the city of Philadelphia.
Richard Allen, on the other hand, who was born a slave on February 14, 1760, and had come to the city of Philadelphia working at odd times as a teamster and as a boot and shoe maker, and also serving as a leader in one of the class meetings of the St. George Methodist Episcopal Church, worked to establish a Methodist Church for his people, being of the opinion that the Episcopal denomination would not suit the masses of his people so well as the Methodist doctrine.
At it has been said by a later writer, while the Episcopal parson was adjusting his spectacles and getting his manuscript ready for delivery, the Methodist parson had given Hell and damnation to his hearers. Accordingly, Richard Allen with the larger number of the group purchased a lot in 1791, had an old blacksmith shop hauled to the lot and erected there, and in 1793 the Bethel African Methodist Church was dedicated. From this one church the church developed, with branches in Baltimore. New Jersey, and New York, until it had spread widely, and Richard Allen became its first Bishop.
Richard Allen then was the first Bishop of the Negro descent in the western world. Absalom Jones was the first Protestant Episcopal Priest in the western world. In New York City, James Varkin in 1784 from the same causes, and for the same purposes established the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, seeking the same independence of action and thought as others. These two churches, the African Methodist Episcopal, and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion, have developed until they represent thousands of churches, ministers, and members, and millions of dollars in property under the control of Negro leadership. The beginnings, however, were in the Washington era.
This group represented a fearless leadership in organized religion, which put independence and manhood and a policy of protest, given even in peaceful ways as the best way out of their difficulty. We are the heirs of their labors.
Turning to another field, the professions, one finds eminent tradition in the several fields then open to the Negro population. They were teachers in the families, some of them opened schools, and oft times white and colored pupils were taught in these schools. Both, the Bethel Church in Philadelphia and St. Thomas's Protestant Episcopal Church, and Zion Church in New York maintained schools taught by Negroes in their churches and church buildings.
Several were active as physicians. Some were quacks with only an elementary knowledge of roots and medicines; others, however, were outstanding leaders, in the profession. One of these significant individuals was James, Durham who

was born in Philadelphia, 1762. He was employed by his master, who was a physician, to assist him. He learned many things in medicine from his master. When the war of the American Revolution opened he was sold as a slave to a British officer and was carried about with him in the wake of the British army. At the close of the Revolutionary War he was sold to a physician in New Orleans. In each one of these three experiences he was learning of medicine, surgery, in laying a basis for his own future activity. In New Orleans he purchased his freedom. He began to practice medicine for himself, independently, and built up an income of over $3,000 a year during the middle years of his life.
Dr. Benjamin Rush, missionary and contemporary of Washington and outstanding Quaker leader declared that Dr. Durham knew some medicinal properties of which he was not aware, and congratulated him on his ability, and at the same time called attention to his knowledge of French and Spanish.
In public affairs there were outstanding leaders who were not only content to achieve in individual ways, but to interest themselves in the public affairs of the nation. When George Washington became Commander-in-Chief of the army, Phillis Wheatley, the poetess, sent him a poem to Cambridge. This poem is significant in that it shows a grasp of the causes for the difficulty between the United States and Great Britain. It also used the phrase, "first in peace and honor," which appears for the first time in a document concerning the faith of his country. The closing lines of this poem also illustrate the manner in which Washington was regarded by Miss Wheatley—a regard which was during the hicentennial grown very widely. These lines are: "A crown a mansion and a throne
"A crown, a mansion and a throne that shines
With gold unfading, Washington!
Be thine."
George Washington was so impressed with this poem that he wrote a letter to the poetess in which he addressed her as Miss Phillis, and congratulated her for the manner in which she has written, which as he said, shows "a striking proof of her poetic talents."
He thanked her for dedicating the poem to him, and then said if she ever came to Cambridge near his headquarters he would be happy to see a person so favored by the muses, and signed himself, "your humble servant, George Washington."
So far as can be ascertained, she is among the first, if not the first, to refer to him as "first in peace."
to refer to him as "first in peace." Benjamin Bannicker was also interested in public affairs during his life in the Washington era. He was a mechanic, had learned some astronomy, and published an almanac in the year 1791. He was the maker of clock, among the first of the native Americans to manufacture one. He was appointed by Thomas Jefferson to serve on the commission which surveyed and laid out the lines of the District of Columbia, thus a Negro was concerned with the surveying and the first lay-out of the Nation's Capital. He also proposed a plan for international peace. There had been added to the cabinet of George Washington, a Secretary of War. Benjamin Bannicker proposed a plan which was put in published form for a secretary of peace. He carefully out the plan to the end that there would be a secretary in the cabinet with a program to cover the home and the schools and public life.

educating the people for peace. He saw that following the Revolutionary War the nation began war upon the Indians to extend territory into the west, and he was not encouraged to continue his program of peace.
It is significant that the Negro leader in the Washington era was thinking of peace and planning for it, and proposed it as a program for the nation at the time when George Washington was issuing his proclamation of neutrality and delivering his farewell address, urging that America avoid entangling alliances. Such a program also antedates the epoch following our World War when we are hearing so much of programs of peace and seeing so much of war.
In economic and social organizations there were Negro leaders who led the way for their group. Richard Allen and Absalom Jones were interested also in the Free African Society which was established by them on April 17, 1787. This was an organization of free Negroes of African descent who were determined to co-operate for their mutual benefit. It was a disciplinary system which was to encourage its members to live worthy lives; an insurance society which was to give them benefits when sick and bury them at their death. It also established branches in several cities. A Free African Society was established in Newport, R. I., Boston, and New York City. The parent organization in Philadelphia kept a continuous correspondence with these organizations in other cities, and when matters affecting either of the groups was at issue all of them were concerned.
It is worth remembering that the Bank of North America, the first financial institution in the United States which was organized in 1781, had on deposit in the name of the Free African Society in the year 1790, 42 pounds, 9 shillings and 1 pence. This illustrates that the organization was practicing thrift and believed in maintaining its funds in a paramount financial institution. This was a type of leadership which one scarcely finds in a co-operative wav today. There are also evidences of co-operation of relief measures, some indications of which we are finding
THE FRIDNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1932
today. In 1793 in the city of Philadelphia an epidemic broke out and a deadly disease carried off the population by the hundreds. So many were sick that the hospitals and sick houses were taxed to capacity and those who buried the dead were either so busy or refused to do so because of the deadly character of the disease. People were fleeing from their homes, leaving the city and going to the country in terror. It was in this situation that these two men, Richard Allen aid Absalmon Jones volunteered their services both to care for the sick and to hurry the dead. In this state of excitement it was not only a fine type of leadership but an eloquent effort. Finally funds were raised to assist them in their work, and when the epidemic had passed they published a report which was broadcast to those interested concerning their financial activity. They were in turn commended by the mayor for their eloquent work, and in his letter to them is a touching indication of his regard for the deeds which they had performed.
In social organizations, Prince Hall stands out as a eminent leader among the Negro fraternal organizations. He was the father of Masonry among Negroes in America. He was born in 1748 in the West Indies and came to the United States in 1765. He had been interested in Masonry prior to his coming to the United States, and when he reached Massachusetts he endeavored to secure information from the Americans concerning Masonic organizations. He did not succeed in obtaining admission to an American lodge. Shortly after he had become active in this connection the war of the American Revolution came and a British army encamped near Boston. In talking with one of its officers, Prince Hall discovered that it was possible for him to be taken into one of these lodges. He was initiated and then following this began to endeavor to organize the Negroes into an organization so that they might obtain the benefits of Masonry.
It was not until after a year of the peace with Great Britain, 1784, that he addressed the Masonic lodge of England and requested the authority to organize a lodge in America, but the word to organize the lodge was not delivered until 1787. While the Masons of America were honoring George Washington in a memorial which is just across the hills in Virginia, and stands as an evidence of his loyalty to America and the expression of his interest in Masonry, let us not be forgetful of Prince Hall, who, in spite of the refusal of the contemporaries of George Washington who refused to admit him, nevertheless led the way for his group, and for giving the Negroes of America the opportunity which they have today in this particular field.
These leaders among the Negroes manifested vision, initiative, and real achievement. They were not content to satisfy their souls and hearts, but felt that no difficulties were too great for them. They were pioneers, and pioneers who deserves greater credit than we ar giving to the pioneers who faced the wilderness, for the pioneers who faced the wilderness in Washington's day faced woods, Indians, and the unknown. These men faced a wilderness of prejudice against their color and their condition, and a wilderness of misunderstanding existing between the races, none of which they permitted to daunt them. When we view this type of leadership among the Negroes of Washington's day, is serves as a challenge to the college men and

TO DEDICATE THREE BUILDINGS AT H. U. ON CHARTER DAY
March 2 to Mark Completion of 20-Year Cycle of Physical Expansion Program
Formal dedication of the three buildings of the women's residence area on Charter Day, March 2, will mark the completion of the first objective in the 20 year cycle of physical expansion at Howard University.
Living accommodations have been provided for 300 women residents in the completed Georgian style buildings, constructed of Colonial brick with limestone trim. The buildings occupy campus space adjoining McMillan Park and overlook a city resevcir lake. Ample provision has been made for the social and physical welfare of the residents. Each unit has a beautifully and harmoniously furnished dining room, reception and assembly rooms, an infirmary and a beauty salon, and space for the prospective development of a tea room and a dress shop service.
The completed units offer an excellent background for the classroom activities of women at Howard, and serve as laboratories for sponsoring the cultural development of women who will go forth as teachers, as deans of women, and as other types of vocational and professional workers among Negro youth.
Since classroom work includes only about one-third of the student's time, the remainder is spent in the dormitory or under dormitory supervision. In other words, the dormitory is the college substitute for home, and entails supervision for recreation, for amusement, for manners and morals and for care during illness as well as in health.
For men, a dormitory may be a residence, but for women, it must be a home. This purpose is served in the new residential group at

Home Economics and Preparation For Gainful Occupations

Howard. Each room is furnished and arranged so that during their stay at the university, it becomes the home of two girls, giving each the opportunity of developing her taste and her personality, and her natural home-making instincts. Plans have been made for the alternating periods of privacy and social contact necessary in the well-balanced life of a college woman, and, decorations and facilities are such that each registrant is assured of equality of opportunity in exhibiting her individual taste in creating personal atmosphere in her home surroundings.
The residential buildings are divided into housing units of equal size and quality, no difference of arrangement being made upon a classification basis. However, as an experiment, freshmen women are now housed in one unit, encouraging a natural group affinity during the difficult first year adjustment period. Other housing units contain cross sections from all other classes of the university. In each building, there are places of assembly for small groups and for formal gatherings. The completed buildings have been erected as part of a building program anticipating a normal increase in the enrollment of women at Howard during the next two decades, and in accord with the prospective expansion of the university.
The residential plan of housing, it is hoped, will establish a more personal contact between the individual woman student and others of her group, establish closer inter-class association, and permit closer personal relations between women students and personnel workers among women. Women students at Howard University are under the supervision of a dean of women, two residential directors, and two assistants. The students themselves have developed a plan of self-government known as the woman's campus government, with one of the directors and an assistant as advisors. Faculty members have organized a Woman's Faculty Club one of the projects of which is a plan to assist the dean in carrying out a progressive social program.

Emory B. Smith, Publicity Director of Howard University
By Mrs. M. W. Kirkland
It is rapidly becoming evident that Home Economics is making a worthy contribution to the education of youth in the field of renumerative employment. A recognition of this contribution now attributed to Home Economics has come as a result of the increasing gainful opportunities opening to women and men.
In a survey of the land-grant Colleges and Universities, forty-three of the institutions ni giving their Home Economics aims include in one form or another, statements or objectives in terms of gainful employment. Twelve of these institutions list preparation for one or more types of gainful employment among objectives of their Home Economics instruction.
Here at Howard University, we are finding daily that new fields of endeavor are opening of our Home Economics graduates. The more important employments for which preparation is offered are in the descending order of frequency: teaching, hospital service, dietetics, institutional management, extension work, social service, commercial fields, fabric, textile and clothing designers, and in department stores.
In further explanation—teaching provides employment in universities, colleges, high schools, intermediate grades, nursery schools, hospitals and Y. W. C. A.'s. Hospital service calls for dictitians and teachers of dietetics. Social service offers openings to field workers, workers in settlement houses and day nurseries. Y. W. C. A.'s service employs teachers in foods, clothing, dietitians and dormitory matrons. County home demonstration agents are needed in extension work, as well as specialist in nutrition, clothing, home management and child care. Home economists having high scholastic attainments in addition to ability in salesmanship are now sought for commercial positions. The operation and management of hotels, cafeterias, lunch rooms, tea rooms and gift shops fall under Institutional Management. Fabric-clothing designers, clothing and pattern manufacturers are making openings for persons with ability along these lines. In some parts of the country department stores are offering employment.
Mr. Wilson, who is a former president of the Birney School Parent-Teachers Association, now resides in a recently built Spanish design home at 2631 Nichols avenue, southeast. The home pictured above is one of the six pieces of property owned by him in the southeast section of the city and is unique and charming, inside and out.

Too Many Essay Contests In Schools, Says Member
The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the Board of Education, expressed himself as opposed to "too many essay contests" in the public schools at a meeting of the Board of Education, Friday at Franklin Administration Building. The Rev. Bennett said there were too many extra curricular subjects which kept teachers from doing their regular work. The Rev.

ANACOSTIA HOME OF ATTORNEY JOHN H. WILSON of Spanish design, inside and out, with all modern improvements. The insert is Mr. Wilson, who has just closed another successful year at the District bar, having won a number of homicide, robbery, prohibition and other cases and successfully handled many civil cases.
Having established for himself certain records without precedent, Attorney John H. Wilson, graduate of the Law Department of Howard University, class of 1007, is today regarded as one of the outstanding Negro practitioners in the District. Following his graduation Mr. Wilson spent several years in Indiana and California, returning to practice in Washington about 1917. He now has offices at 503 D street, northwest.
During the past two years, Attorney Wilson has obtained acquittals in the following first-degree murder cases: United States vs. Curtis Johnson, United States vs. James Washington, and United States vs. Lewis Cherry. On the Civil side of the court in the case of Madden vs. Sehmidt, tried before Justice Hoeling, Attorney Wilson obtained a judgment of $4,800, the highest ever awarded in the District of Columbia for the death of an infant. He is now settling the estate of the late Miss Eva A. Chase, local school principal, and for the past twelve months has managed the properties of Dr. Georgianna A. Simpson of Howard University.
Several years ago, the white press gave honorable mention to the case of United States vs. Clarence Lee, handled by Attorney Wilson. Lee was convicted by two juries on housebreaking and larceny charges; and on two separate occasions Attorney Wilson convinced Justice Stafford, presiding, that both convictions were erroneous in law; the case was called to the bar for a third trial and finally dismissed. In 1930, Wallace Bright, James Lucas and Lloyd Kenney were jointly charged with the killing of a white soldier near Soldiers' Home. Bright was represented by Attorney Lynch (white) of the firm Wample and Lynch, while Lucas and Kenny were represented by Attorney Wilson. Both of Mr. Wilson's clients were acquitted, while Bright was convicted of manslaughter. We cite the latter case merely to disprove the adage that a Negro client must have a white lawyer to obtain his rights at the bar.

HALL'S BASKET BEATS VA. STATE
Sensational Long Shot That Left His Hands Before Gong, Wins Game
"Sallie" Hall's looper from the far end of the court that dropped through the net after the gong had sounded gave Howard University a 32-31 victory over Virginia State College last Saturday night in the most sensational basket ball game ever played on the Bison court.
Coming from behind in the second half to overtake a Howard lead of 13-9 at the intermission State was a threat to the very last second. Howard tied at 15 all, forged ahead as Hall and Tibbs each got a single from the foul line, but M. Hall. State center got through the Bison defense for a sleeper and again to knot the count at 17-17.
Butler's basket gave State a two point lead but Dabney was caught holding and Syphax scored. "Sal" Hall got a basket to match Butler's single at 20 all. With a dazzling burst of speed Syphax and Hall each got a basket and a Howard margin of 24-20.
With only two minutes to go Scott made his first basket of the game and Johnson, who had just gone in for Dabney shot two from the foul line for the fourth time in the second period to tie the count, this time 24-24. Bell got his first basket to put State in front but Taylor broke on through a fast dribble and knotted the count at 26. Howard fans gave a sigh of relief when Hall shot a foul to break the tie and Syphax added a basket for good measure.
Just as it seemed that all was over by the shouting, Scott caught a long pass and dropped in a sleeper after Butler and Hall had each scored a single, and with ten second to go and Howard leading 29-28, Tibbs was caught holding and Scott snatched the lead with two perfect shots from the marker, making what seemed certain to be the final score, Virginia State 31, Howard 30, but Bayton, who had replaced Pinn at center out-jumped M. Hall and tapped the ball to Tibbs who passed back to "Sallie" Hall. Without taking time for one step forward though deep in State's territory, as quick as a flash the ball shot from Hall's hands a split second before the gong sounded. At the ring of the bell, with a ball in the air, State fans sprang to their feet with a shout of victory, but as the ball dropped through the hoop the entire crowd went wild.

NO BASEBALL TRADES IN SIGHT
NO BASEBALL TRADES IN SIGHT
Owners Realize Foundation Must Be Laid To Make Business Venture
By Lloyd P. Thompson
No trades of players are in sight when the owners of the East-West Colored League Clubs gather in Philadelphia for a meeting that will take up a couple of days to say nothing of many of the intricate problems that sorely beset the operators whenever one well oiled, smooth running and frictionless base ball league of eight clubs is desired.
With the Idea of March just around the corner bringing it's customary gusts and blasts of chilling gales, the trade winds that usually go with major base ball gatherings will in all probability be entirely missing when the East-Wind League confab is brought to a close.
While the customary swapping of players is one of the interesting angles of the game, particularly during the off season, it is exercised in the majors as one of the advantages of organization. However, being compelled to start from the scratch, the operators of the East-West loop realize that in order to get the game to a point where it will become a staple business project for the colored players, the foundation must be sound and rather than add garnishing and frills the owners are seeking to solve the fundamental principles. With new clubs being organized in Washington, Detroit, Cleveland and New York, it has virtually been the business of the league to help the operators get satisfactory terms where parks were involved and supply the contact that can be obtained with united forces. And as a matter of fact, few if any of the league clubs have enough players in line to consider any swaps.

TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The Tuskegee girls' varsity basketball team defeated Coach Green's crack Alabama A. and M. Institute team, 37 to 17, in Logan gymnasium here Tuesday.

Fisk Five Takes Two From Alabama State
NASHVILLE, Jenn.—After a rather disastrous trip to 'Bama State last week the Fisk Five staged a comeback this week in the Fisk gym against the 'Bama State Five. The first game was a Fisk victory to the tune of 19-10. Alabama was at the short end of a 20-12 count in the second affair. The first game was a rather slow affair, with Alabama starting out with a five point lead. The Fisk boys were playing a listless game, but finally managed to come from behind and at the beginning of the second half they were never threatened.

HAMPTON BEATS A. & T. COLLEGE
HAMPTON BEATS A. & T. COLLEGE
By Enoc P. Waters, Jr.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA.
—The Hampton Seasiders, on their own floor again after having dropped three consecutive games on foreign courts, celebrated Washington's Birthday with a 31-14 win over a weak A. and T five.
The poor defense, inaccurate shooting and unaggressiveness of the opposing outfit gave Hampton practically complete control of the court. An otherwise drab affair was sprinkled sparsely with interest by the colorful playing of Carter, Scott and Burke of Hampton and Kennedy of A. and T., but lacked thrill. Hampton made twelve field goals and seven out of nine fouls, whiff A. and T. with only four twin-pointers, made good only six of her twenty-five shots from the foal line.
MORGAN-LINCOLN CLASH FRIDAY
MORGAN-LINCOLN CLASH FRIDAY
Basketball enthusiasts have been constantly asking the question, when does Morgan play Lincoln? The answer is Friday night, at the New Albert Auditorium. This game will bring together two of the fastest and best coached teams among colored colleges. Therefore, the contest will, no doubt, surpass any game in the C.I.A.A. this season for extended interest and intense feeling. The result of the game will either find Morgan definitely out of the running for the C. I. A. A. championship or still in first place, a position the Bears have held proudly until recently, when they were defeated by Howard and Virginia State
Lincoln on the other hand will have all to gain and nothing to lose, for the Lions are not contending for the C. I. A. A. championship. This, however, will not detract from the interest of the game, for the bitter rivalry between the two teams should afford thrill after thrill.
Abbott Says New Rules Will Protect Players
TUSKEGEE, Ala.—Cleve L. Abbott in speaking of the new football rules, recently announced by the rules committee, said: "I believe the changes will offer more safety to the players. Any rule that will insure safety to the players, without sacrificing any of the color so dear to the heart of the spectators should be a good rule. In my opinion, the rules were adopted to take away much of the criticism directed against the game during the past season.

W. A. Greenlee Says He Was Forced Out Of East-West Loop
W. A. Greenlee Says He Was Forced Out Of East-West Loop
Owner Of Pittsburgh Teams Says Homestead Grays Manager Never Intended Crawfords To Be Baseball Headliners
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(WPS)—After observing that writers, organizers and responsible people were under the impression that he was opposed to organized baseball, W. A. Greenlee released a letter to newspapers. Mr. Greenlee is owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and contends that he is out of the East-West League, because certain influences were used to keep him out.
The letter follows in part: "It has been implied and actually stated on several occasions and through various mediums that I am opposed to organized baseball in general and the newly formed East-West League in particular. This idea has progressed to the point where baseball managers and writers accept it as fact. And they proceed to defend their own views and attack what they call mine with all power which their faculties can produce. If this situation is permitted to continue it will result in an injustice which no square shooter would willing commit.
"It is probably unfortunate that all of my conversations about the league were with Mr. Posey, who is now chairman of the league's commission. Everything was verbal, and as far as I know not a single offer or stipulation was made in writing. This fact has since led me to believe that my ideas and objections were not presented as I expressed them. I sincerely believe that you or any person with a $100,000 investment on their hands would make the very same decisions which I made.
"First of all, Posey wanted me to sign a five year contract with the league. This proposal was made before the meeting in Cleveland. In this contract he or his brother was to manage the Crawfords. During that period the Crawfords to have one or two high salaried players, while the remainder of the team would be made up of inexperienced young-
ST. PAUL BEATS HAMPTON 30-22
First Time In 16 Games Tigers Have Vanquished Seasiders
By "Sonny" Strayhorn
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — St. Paul turned back a bewildered Hampton attack here Friday afternoon, 30-22.
The Tigers put up a brilliant offense that kept them in the lead during the entire game. Benton, St. Paul forward, was the highlight of the tilt—scoring from every position and angle of the court, making a total of 11 points.
"Skip" Butler entered the game at the last seven minutes of play and the result was eight more points for the Orange and Black machine. The Tigers played a whole period of hard basketball, contrary to custom. The Scasiers were at an utter loss even with the aid of White and Williams who shared honors for Hampton.
This was the sixteenth game in basketball with Hampton — and St. Paul's first victory. The Tigers have defeated old rivals this year and to them the "Jinx" has been broken. From the outlook of things—tables have turned.

The Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. Wrestling Club will hold its first exhibition in the "Y" Gymnasium Monday. The program will include some of the leading matmen of the city.

The exhibition will be a forerunner of a tournament to be staged in April under the auspices of the District A. A. U.
Cheyney Junior Varsity Beat Howard High Faculty
WILMINGTON, Del—The Cheyney Junior Varsity basketball team defeated the Howard High School Faculty five Thursday by a score of 21 to 18.
Howard High led at the end of the first half by a 11 to 5 score. Hazelwood, Cheyney's forward, was the star of the game and scored 10 to the points made by his team. J. Taylor, with seven points was the high point man for the Faculty team.
sters.
"In return our club would become an associate member of the league. Forty games with colored teams was the allotment for the Crawfords. Of course I wanted the forty games, and would have accepted them under a contract of shorter duration. But Posey was not willing to even compare schedules. By refusing to open up and make it clear as to whether those forty games would be played on Monday's or Saturdays, he forced me to believe that I was about to enter a trap from which there would be no escape—once it was signed. Then, again, knowing that Posey had a perfect right to select dates which would mean most to the Homestead Grays I could not see then or now how he could give up a good selection of days since the Grays and Crawfords play their home games in Pittsburgh. "These are the main reasons why Crawfords are not members of the East-West Laegue. The idea as conceived by Mr. Posey was never intended to include Crawfords as league members. More than likely it was developed to prevent the Crawfords from tieing up with the headliners of baseball. You probably know that Posey's interest in a league came after the Crawfords had their first successful playing season.
"Of course the league has been formed, as they say. They are moving right along trying to get the jump on everything outside the league. I am moving along, also, but I have a few scruples about means and methods. I could not feel comfortable by having lies published that might gain an edge—which will be worth more in July than it is in February.
"My understanding is that no money is involved in the East-West League. It is an understanding between a group of men. Which is of course, all right if it ends right. I am willing to take the same chance that they are taking."
YMCA BIG FIVE TRIMS BALTIMORE
14 to 9
The Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A.
Big Five romped to a decisive victory over the Baltimore Chalkwriters in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Saturday by a score of 51-22.
In the first half, Wyatt of the Baltimore teachers looped two baskets to draw first blood. Successive baskets by Butler and Adams soon evened the count. A basket by Lee put the Washington boys ahead when they started with the half ending 14-9. In the second half, the Big Five started an offensive that carried them far in front. Brilliant baskets by Lee and Davis, coupled with the stellar floor work of Fowler, Slade and Hall, wre too much for the Baltimore teachers. Adams at guard, played the game of his life, sinking snow bird after snow bird to assist in pillow up the large margin. Gaining the top, due to the lofty reach of lanky Jeffires, the "Y" held possession of the ball during most of the time and registered 37 points in the second half. Baltimore scored 13. The playing of Payne and Wyatt stood out for the losers.
Morris Brown Upsets Tuskegee Five Twice
By Milton L. Randolph
ATLANTA, Ga.—Again the undefeated Morris Brown Cage team crowned itself with glory in a colorful duo defeat of Cleve Abbott's Tuskegee Cagers, taking the first game Wednesday night 49-32 and the second Thursday night 32-25.
The opening fracus was almost a run away for Billy Nick's Wolverine squad. They led by ten or more points throughout the game, with Jim Reed coping high point honors with a tally of sixteen points; D. Smith, Walker and Thornton supplementing with scores and stellar floor work. C. Smith and Joyner of Tuskegee were great shots and the outstanding player for the visitors.

DOWNINGTOWN BUMPS
DOVER STATE TWICE
DOVER, Del.—For the second time this season the arch-rivals, Downingtown and Dover, met on the wooden way, with the former carrying off all the laurels. The Downingtown girls continued their winning habit in a sensational game which they took 33-29. Then the Downingtown boys, smarting from a 31-30 reverse suffered on their own floor, won an easy triumph 36-22.
In the boys' game Downingtown's superiority was quickly established, with the home team on the short end of a 17-8 count at half-time. White with seven field goals, aided by Taylor and Sperling, stood out for the visitors, while Beanum was Dover's high scorer with nine points.
Both boys and girls of Downing-town are now awaiting the games with Bordentown at Downingtown on February 27. The boys are anxious to avenge their 25-19 setback while the girls will try to maintain their record of never having been defeated on their home floor.

TO ERECT NEW SCHOOL
| (Continued from page 9)
‘tions for colored pupils will be
further emphasized by the fact
that the Bruce school is approxi-
mately 2% miles directly south of
the District line; that the Mott
School is approximately 3 miles
from the eastern corner of the
territory to be served by the Bates
Road School; and that the Monroe
and Bruce Schools are more than
3 miles from the western corner
of the territory to be served.
The distance will be lessened
substantially by the establishment
of a permanent school at Bates
Road, although the children will
then ‘be obliged to walk consider-
able distances to the Bates Road
School. The Bates Road site is
at least 1.1 miles directly from
the District line. It is approxi-
mately two miles from the pro-
posed Bates Road site to the east-
ern corner of the territory to: be
served, and approximately the
same distance to the western cor-
ner. It will be readily seen, there-
fore that the elementary’ school
children in this area will have to
walk more than the usual distance
to an elementary school on the
Bates Road.

“Charlie Chan's Chance,” the Fox

«° Miss Nixon, petite, beautiful and
charming, who has been playing star

on the screen as a leading woman,
though it was not so long ago that
she was playing ingenue roles.
In “Charlie Chan's Chance,” Kitk-
‘and and Miss Nixon are among the
suspects in a murder tangle but they
are absolved from suspicion by
Charlie Chan, the famed Oriental
detective, who solves the mysterious
crime and brings the real criminal to
justice by following what the New
York police and Scotland Yard de-
tectives regard as insignificant clues.
But not until he has experienced a
series of thrilling adventures and
breathtaking escapes. Warner
-Oland, outstanding for his portrayal
of Oriental characters, enacts the
role of Charlie Chan,

EARL HINES, IN
PERSIN, AT
HOWARD
Earl. Hines, world’s greatest jazz
piano artist and famous N. B. C.
Radio Star, will appear in person at
the Howard Theatre for a week's
engagement beginning Saturday
with his own band, direct from the
Grand Terrace, Chicago, and a big
stage show. This is positively Earl
Hines’ first appearance in the East.
His engagements heretofore have
been strictly confined to Chicago,
St. Louis, Cleveland and other large
cities in ‘the Mid-West, where his
Radio Broadcasting and orchestra
has been sch .a popular feature as
to preclude’ a possibility of Ins
Eastern appearance.
It may be recalled the last few
years has produced famous radio
and stage personalities as. Duke
Ellington, in 1929; Cab. Calloway,
1930; Milis Brothers, 1931; and now
the 1932 sensation “Earl Hines.”
The management of the Howard
secured this famous radio star after
considerable competitive. bidding
from other theatres in the large
cities of the East, by. offering a
bonus of one thousand dollars more
than the highest bid for the privilege
Jof presenting Earl Hines tg Wash:
ington. To those who have tuned
in.on the radio broadcast, and listen-
ed to, Earl Hines tickle the piano
with jazz melodies, the opportunity
‘to sce and hear him in person is cer-
fain to assure the Howard a capacity
attendance and_a highly successiul
engagement. The stage show also
includes a host of other stars and
other entertainers.
‘The screen. feature is Dolores Det
Rio and Leo Carrillo in “The Girl
of the Rio.”
The appearance of Earl Hines is
sive to cause an tunustial demand
for the Tuesday and Friday Mid
Nite shows, therefore, it is advised
that you reserve your seats in ad-

Strolling backstage at the How-
ard theatre last Monday I came
upon Cayton Bate, better known to
the theatre public ‘as “PEG LEG”
Bates, the sensational one-legged
tap dancer.
Pegay, as the folks back stage call
hini, made his debut on the stage in
1922. He was a dancer before los-
ing his leg, but this loss was not a
hindrance to his profession, if any-
thing it has enhanced his success,
as now he is the only dancer of this
type on the stage. This great
dancer hails from Greensboro,
North Carolina, and while around
those parts he lost the limb in an
automobile accident.
He has worked his way steadily
to the top. This is his first stage
appearance in Washington.
At last the long awaited and
much heralded Earl Hines (him-
self) is to appear at the Howard this
week. This jazz leader, together
with his famous musicians, brings
to Washington one of the most ver-
satile orchestras the public has ever
heard. Every man in this aggrega-
tion plays two or more instraments
which is quite an achievement.
According to the National Broad-
casting Company he has attained a
merit which surpasses that of the
great Vincent Lopez which in my
estimation is going some. This’ will
he Mr. Hines’ first appearance in
the east.
Do you KNOW THAT: We
have another sepia feminie orches-
tra leader in the person of Gertrade
Saunders? She is playing in New

“THE HATCHET MAN”
“Strictly Dishonorable” At
Booker T. Theatre
“Strictly Dishonorable,” the most
piquant and provocative drama yet
to reach the talking screen, is to be
shown at Booker-T Friday.
This presentation was _assnted
yesterday, when Lichtman Theatres
completed arrangements for playing
Universal's brilliant screenplay ad-
apted from one of the most success-
ful plays seen in New York within
the past decade. The cast of the
picture is headed by Paul Lukas,
whom Universal borrowed _ from
Paramount, Sidney Fox and Lewis
Stone.
The story concerns an innocent
Southern. girl and her pugnacious
fiance, who leaves in jealous anger
when ‘she casts admiring glances at
an Italian opera singer_ whom she
meets in a speakeasy. The sudden
romance that blossoms between this
great lover and the deserted. South-
ern beauty is told with daring and
yet with utmost delicacy. Laughter,
tears and tingling suspense tumble
‘over each other in delicious abandon,
Due to the delicacy of the theme,
in “Strictly Dishonorable,” we do
not recommend this picture for chil-
dren under 16.

THIS FAMOUS TONIC HAS MADE THOUSANDS OF WOMEN HAPPY
churches asked to meet to discuss matters of church government petered out last Friday night when trustees refused to open the church doors.
SOMETHING TO
THE MODERN GIRL
By A. Elizabeth Valentine
Today we have an accredited element of society that proudly labels itself "The Modern Girl," by which is indicated a parasitic, irresponsible, unrestrained woman-creature. Schools and colleges are full of her, and her type trickles down into all walks of life. She is well-dressed, attractive, full of small talk and wisecracks, likable in a giddy sort of fashion; but utterly without depths and sustained charm. She flamed into bloom in the heyday of the flapper, when the world was delirious; she was toned down to "The Modern Girl" in a more sober world; and now, today, a worried world looks askance at her, under any name.
Mest usually she is wasting time and space in one of our higher institutions of learning, supported by fond parents engaged in the most toilsome tasks to keep daughter in school. Or she is found dilly-dallying in an office vainly trying to prove that S. A. has more sales value than brains. Then again she is found among the ranks of the domestic worker, whose chief defense is, "White folks is wors'n us cullud folks."
Sociologists might ask one question about her, economists another, but we ask simply, "Is she modern at all?" and "How modern is she?" Looking back one is compelled to answer, "She is not modern at all." Since the dawn of history weak, foolish women, who have failed to put the proper valuation upon themselves, have been in existence. The type became powerful through the reactions of a changing order of things. One wonders why it is that these girls, with all the cleverness ascribed to them, have never the less been failures. They have all had to chase their quarry. They have overlooked the basic facts that woman's greatest weapon is mystery; and when she throws that away she loses both defenses and charm. No wonder men are bored. No wonder men are being wooed today by women and nobody is satisfied. The so-called modern woman has robbed femininity of her veilings and has ruined her appeal.
If the prudish ugly minded, little empty-head of two decades ago, afraid to lift her skirts so that she might step across a puddle of water for fear that she might show her ankle, to be exorciated; then her diametrically opposite sister, who holds herself as of so little potency that she restrains nothing, must be accorded the same treatment. What the world needs in general, and the Negro race in particular, is a same sensible standard of womanhood. All of the modernistic twaddle to the contrary; the woman sets the moral standard! Let the mother of the home be a loose, slipshod, weak, woman and the tempo of the family is set to that pace. Strong, fine, courageous leaders can no more be expected from such a home than turnips from cabbage seeds.
Say what you will, nature created man for the stubborner, harder things of life; to protect his home, to beat off enemies; and woman was created to preserve that home, to furnish it with beauty and peace. He is naturally coarser and she finer; each fitted for different yet harmonious tasks. By this we do not mean that women are better than men, or should be placed upon a sentimental pedestal—Not at all! It is merely meant that in the main, unless the natural placement between the sexes is maintained the human race cannot pursue its journey in happiness. Unless men are able to find women who by their gentle inner beauty and courage inspire them to higher callings, they are restless and bored; unless women find men whom she can inspire and encourage, life is dull and flat.
Therefore the plea is for a higher type of womanhood. Society is crying for her! Cannot our schools and colleges set this standard? Is not this their duty? We do not want the languishing prudes of our parent's day, neither do we want the completely unrestrained development of a too-tolerant generation. Both are the results of over emphasis. We want the clean, frank, well-balanced, and intelligent girl, cognizant that she has a deeper intelligence called spirit; with a strong healthy body, about which she is also intelligent; as to the care, use, and place in the world.
Then shall we have a truly Modern Girl!

Sunday Movies.
So the churches will now start a useless fight to have the Sunday Blue Law retained in Maryland. It's the most stupid and useless fight yet undertaken and I for one churchman shall not use my time nor talent in helping.
Sunday Motion Pictures at least offer entertainment and that far more than the average church service offers nowadays. What the church should realize now is that it's not the passing of laws to stop other amusements that will fill the churches, but the programs of interest that these churches can furnished. The church ought to get in step with the age; it should find new and modern ways of reaching the younger life about it; it should get paid social workers with new ideas to have constantly programs and entertainments that will attract the younger people and make them prefer the church to the other entertainment. It should and must do this, or it will have its empty pews and dingy old stuffy services.
Though every other agency within our life has changed and improved, the church service in the average Negro church is identical with that of the services two generations ago. Unless and until the Negro ministers on the whole realize this, they are going to have a falling off in their services and the passing of blue laws and the like will not help them. I believe in Christianity, but mere words without a practicable program doesn't mean anything. And so, brothers, we might as well get something new ready, the Movies are coming to Baltimore just as they are already in other progressive cities. They are coming with consent of the church or against it.
That Tipping Table.
It would appear that officers of the Northwestern District have again gotten away with what appears to be the useless beating up of a poor Negro. There may not be sufficient evidence to warrant an indictment; their Police Commissioner Gaither may have won another technical point and the officers in charge may have slipped out of another situation, but the thing that is established in the minds of everybody white and black is that that table never committed the rash act that it's supposed to have done, and thereon hangs the pity of the whole situation.
Officers—yes, policemen—cops if you please are in the theory, the instrument of our government in the carrying out of justice and truth. They are supposed to represent the people, the great American people, in its government to be run "for and by the eople. It's a pretty bad situation then when the people lose faith in their agents. When we feel that they may miscarry justice and use their position to take advantages of less fortunate people.
Whether that table did perform a miracle or not, doesn't count What Does Count is whether Comsioner Gaither and his helpers may be relied upon for truth and honesty—whether the policemen may be trusted. The doubt is there in the minds of the people where this "tipping table" is concerned, and it's up to them to restore confidence and respect Eventually, upon these latter things hang all the respect for the laws and the country.
Untrained Children.
A report has it that students at the High School recently showed marked discourteousy to a visitor and now it seems that some of the parents are "all het up over it."

St.Joseph's G.F.P. The Woman's Donic
DE PRIEST VILLAGE CAPITAL VIEW
The question is not so much whether the children misbehaved they admit this in sending a letter to the speaker apologizing. The thing however that we should think upon is the cause for this outbreak of lack of self-control.
To my way of thinking the fault may be placed directly upon the present day parents who insists on their children being made so "free" that they have failed to teach them the fundamental principle of freedom and organized government—that of having respect for the officials in charge. When pupils have had a last word from ignorant and arrogant parents that these children do not have to respect and listen to their teachers; when these parents conduct their own lives in such a way as to not command the respect of their children; when parents fail to teach their offspring to obey and respect their elders and especially their teachers, anything may happen.
Children must know that they must at sometime in their lives have to listen to some authority. This should be taught in early childhood. Not that I believe in or would tolerate corporal punishment by teachers—but there should be someone; somebody and something that could and would be inclined to enforce impelite and uncouth students to listen. In failing to teach our offsprings this we may be making them free, but in most cases we are making them free to leave school before they are educated; free to go to the places of punishment and free to cost the State money in criminal care and upkeep of criminal institutions, besides the heartaches and pains to their mothers and families.

MINNS' FOUL TOSS WINS FOR DUNBAR
MINNS' FOUL TOSS WINS FOR DUNBAR
Series Deadlocked as Poets Capture Second Game, 17-16
A lone foul shot, tossed through the net by the Poets' fighting, Minns, in the final moment of play, while a typical school crowd, augmented by a host of alumni members, shrieked to the top of their voices, spelled defeat for Armstrong in the second contest of the city series Monday at the Dunbar gym. Previous to Minns' now-famous shot the teams were tied with a 16-16 count, his toss winning the battle 17-16.
The victory by Coach Perkins' men throws the local series in a tie which will be decided in a third game, scheduled to be played at Howard University gym.
Both teams matched point for point from the sound of the opening whistle until the last minute, the scoreboard reading 10-10 at half time. Minns started the Poets on the way to victory, upon the resumption of play, by sinking a sensational one-handed shot from the sidelines and another from near the fifteen-foot mark. Giles intercepted one of the Poets' weak passes and dribbed in for a "set-up" shot. Two baskets by Hayes, Tech forward, put the Orange and Blue ahead for the last time. Gregory, who did a good job of guarding for the Poets, knotted the count with a "string-music" shot from the fifteen-foot mark.
Mitchell, Tech guard, threw Armstrong chances to the winds, by missing two foul shots in succession just before Minns performed his feat.
Not only did Minns virtually win the game with his last minute shot, but, led both teams in the scoring column with nina points. Hayes and Giles were outstanding in this respect for

Billy Holt Defeats Tiger Joe Randall In 10 Rounds
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(WPS)—At Kapplan's Arena last Friday night Billy Holt decisively defeated Tiger Joe Randall in a 10-round sizzler. The contest was staged to determine which of the two welters should wear the local crown. Although the decision was not popular with the fans, Randall failed to secure a single vote. Judge and referee failed to even consider a draw. Ringside critics agreed that the decision had gone to the right man.

LAST MINUTE GOAL DEFEATS VA. STATE
Captain Gibson of Morgan Scores Winning Basket For Morgan
Virginia State College brought a galaxy of determined basketeers to the New Albert AudiCoach Hurt's formidable quintet its hardest fight of the season before the Bears could conquer the visitors, 34-33 to gain first place in the C. I. A. A. championship parade. The State Cagers started at a fast clip against the Morgan quintet and continued throughout the first period with an unflagging aggressiveness, which enabled them to lead the Bears at rest period by a 19-13 score.
Second Half of Thrills
Far from being discouraged after trailing during the first half, the Bears came back in the final canto a more determined team than it was in the first half. And thus we find Conrad and Troupe arching in long shots from various angles which enabled the Methodists to draw up to a 24-23 score. Conrad gave Morgan its first lead during the second half with a sensational corner shot. Scott, State's flashy forward sank a distant shot to send State in the lead 26-25. Troune. Morgan's stellar guard, shot gracefully from mid-floor to tie the Hall stars score 27 all.
Hall, who had played creditable basketball throughout the game, dropped in a quick shot to give State and advantage again. Hackett made good a charity toss which left Morgan trailing by one point. Hall made good a free throw to give State a two point lead. Wilson contributed his first basket of the evening to tie the score 30 all—at this point the entire crowd seemed to have come into a frenzied uproar, for the officials had calleq time out in order that the fans might again compose themselves. Morgan received the ball on the tap-off and through the aid of a fast passing attack shook Gibson in the opening, who gave Morgan a two point lead with three minutes left to play.
Hackett, in a desperate attempt to prevent Scott from shooting, fouled him, this toss left State one point behind, Butler followed with an easy shot giving State a one point lead. With forty seconds left to play, Morgan worked the ball down the floor and placed it in the hands of Captain Gibson who shot a beautiful hooker from the extreme left end of the court. It was a shot that is rarely seen by amateur basketball players and, no doubt, will long be remembered by both Morgan's opponents and basketball enthusiasts. Gibson and Troupe with ten points each led the scoring attack. Both teams played clean and commendable basketball. The entire game was so interesting and exciting that neither coach had time to make a substitution.
Substitute Boxer Kayoed In First Round Of Bout
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(WPS) —Johnny Chiodo was scheduled to meet Dandy Alla last night at Kapphan's Arena. Early in the week, the promoter was notified that Chiodo would be unable to appear. Jimmy Reilly was named as a substitute. He also took sick. When Allen appeared at the dressing rooms he was told that Eddie Guba, 137 pounds, of Clairton would be his opponent. Allen seconds refused to permit Allen to make his initial showing with an 8-pound disadvantage. Ken Hargraves, of New Kensington, was drafter to substitute for Allen. In the first round Guba cut Hargraves' left eye. It bled profusely and the bout was stopped. A technical K.O. is chalked up against the willing New Kensington battler.
COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA
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.
Creamulsion is guaranteed satisfactory. the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

WHEN TEETHING makes HIM FUSSY
Teething time brings its troubles! For so often teeth cut through the tender gums in hot weather, when there is danger of digestive upsets anyway.
A
One of the most important things you can do to make a teething baby comfortable, is to see that waste matter is carried off promptly and regularly. For this, there's nothing like Castoria. It is made specially for the delicate needs of babies and children. It acts so gently, you can give it to young infants to relieve colic pains. Yet it is always effective—keeps older children well regulated. Castoria is a harmless vegetable preparation; it contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics.
When your baby is fretful and feverish with teething or a stomach disturbance, give a cleansing dose of Castoria to make him comfortable and happy. Children like the taste of genuine Castoria—never object to taking it. Be sure you get it with the name Chas. H. Fletcher on the package.

Thousands of authors have tried to pen the meaning of love, to no more avail than were they to attempt to pen "after death." Only those who have experienced true love, lived in its happiness and suffered its cruelty, understand its meaning—and even they are helpless to pen its mystery, correctly.

N. E. WOMEN SEEK EMPLOYMENT FOR "HELLO GIRLS"
Telephone Company Says Dial Phones Eliminate Need for Operators
At a recent meeting of the Northeast Women's Club a resolution was passed directing the secretary to write the manager of the Chesapeake-Potomac Telephone Company requesting that colored girls be trained and employed as operators to reduce unemployment among the youth who are being graduated by the scores from our local schools. The fact that much expansion of business, financial and material, has been accomplished by the company thru the help of the colored people of the District of Columbia where a large number of them maintain telephones both in their homes and places of business, was the cause of the resolution.
The management requested an interview with the writer of the letter, and when the secretary and president of the club had a personal interview with the representative of the manager at the office, 723 13th street, northwest, he fully explained that there had been no training class since 1926 because of the dial phone. He spoke of the willingness of the company to train colored persons, either male or female when necessary for private switchboards as might be used in fraternal buildings or schools, but regretted that there would never be need of a school for training as there remained a number of ex-employees who were experts and to whom preference would be given. He remarked that it was the first request received from the citizens of the District of Columbia for the training and employment of colored girls in the capacity of switchboard operators stating that there might have been a possibility of such a move before the use of the dial system, as numbers of colored persons are in their employ, but not as operators. The Northeast Women's Club is a community and charity club of twenty members, with Mrs. Esther S. McDonald, president, Mrs. Charity H. Smith, treasurer and Mrs. A. Serena Browne, secretary.

Indigestion
sick at your stomach
DON'T expect to enjoy eating, or to escape sour stomach, heartburn, gas colics, or a sick feeling at your stomach, when your bowels fail to move regularly. Take Thedford's Black-Draught to clear up sluggishness and relieve constipation. A better feeling follows its natural, cleansing action.
A.
"I have used Black-Draught for a long time. The last three years it has been all I have used. I use it for indigestion. When I have indigestion, I have pains and a tight feeling. Black-Draught relieves this. It is also good for billowness; the dull, tired, worn-out
feeling (from constipation) and headache."—Lucious Dickey, Manteo, N. G.

Y.; Miss Elizabeth Jones, Wisconsin; Miss Lois Orr, Ill.; Miss Helen Jones, N. J.; Miss Alice Smith, N. Y.; Miss Jessie Williams, Michigan. The prizes for the best orations were awarded as follows: First prize, Miss Georgeanna Parks; Second prize, Miss Alice Smith; Third prize, Miss Ethel Millner.

Congressman Oscar DePriest who heads the Citizens' Committee to help the Training School in its annual drive for funds announces the opening of the 1933 drive and is calling his committee to meet at the Y. W. C. A., Tuesday, March 8 at 7:30. Last year the school needed $15,000 to wipe out pressing obligations. The committee raised $7,762.91. They got half of what was actually needed Mr. DePriest is anxious to finish the job of 1931 and help the school meet some of its 1932 needs. A very simple plan is being worked out and it is hoped that Washington will respond heartily. The school has not sent out any appeals since the last drive. They have needed money badly but they said they would not bother you until the annual drive and they have kept their word.
The faculty, workers and students are organizing for the 1932 drive. They went over the top last year and they are determined to do in the 1932 drive. The old debts and the additional responsibilities for the current year are heavy burdens and it is hoped that every friend in Washington will get into the drive and relieve the situation entirely.

Alice Joy Turns Down
Vaudeville Offers
Alice Joy has turned down several vaudeville offers in New York. Not because of money or billing differences. Far from it. She just wants to be sure that the public is thoroughly acquainted with her through radio before she makes her bow. Several years in vaudeville before she went into radio work taught her that there must be plenty of "build-up" before taking headline honors on the stage. Although Alice Joy and Morton Downey have worked for the same sponsor (on different networks) for several months they have never met.

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 to-
morrow (Saturday) and lasts through Thanksgiving
Day, November 24, has been completed by the Bi-
centennial 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 vice-
chairman of the District Bicentennial Commission,
“for the reception and entertainment of a greater num-
ber of visitors from all parts of the United States and
from Canada and foreign countries than Itas ever be-
fore visited Washington in any given year. Conserva-
tive 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. 5
“In addition to the schedules of major and col-
lateral 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 Washing-
ton 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
ire the crowds which the Bicentennial will at-
Pe eee ate near baat ies ons

of the TRIBUNE will bring you certain results.

Asbury M.E. Church School Has Unique Activity Club
Baltimore MJ
Asbury M.E. Church school in East Baltimore can boast of one of the most unusual and useful clubs ever to be formed by any or ganization, religious or non religious, in this country. This new venture as the Variety Club. Its purpose is to give each member of the church and church school the opportunity to have an outlet for his particular type of amusement. The Variety Club was formed May, 1931, at the home of James D. Browne, jr., son of Rev. J. D. Browne, pastor of Browne M. E. Church. Upon the suggestion of James, Jr., a number of the younger folk of the Sunday School, met at his home, to create an organization which would tend to unite these young people and at the same time hold together the few survivors of what had been Baltimore's most promising Sunday School.
There were more than two dozen present at this meeting, and the following officers were elected: Newell Wilmore, president; Edgar Henson, vice-president; Dorothy Tate, secretary; Anita Foster, assistant secretary; Anna Davage treasurer; Albert Chase, chaplain and James Browne, jr., business manager.
Still a few more dates open in February and March

PARING KNIFE USED TO END WOMAN'S LIFE
PARING KNIFE USED TO END WOMAN'S LIFE
Partially demented, because of many misfortunes leading to despondency, Hattie Cooper, 39, 427 S. Bond street, ended her life by slashing her throat with a paring knife at her home. Saturday morn- Her common-law companion, Simon Scott, 45, told police he had gone to the rear porch on the third floor address, while waiting to get breakfast before going to work. "We had not quarreled and Hattie had not given me the least impression that she intended committing such a rash act. Yet she often spoke of taking her life." Scott also stated that tsa started to leave the apartment only a few minutes before the suicide, but he was forced to take her back to the third floor, when he noticed that she was staggering about. Although she is thought to have been intoxicated, Scott did not make this assertion
Having led his companion back to the apartment, Scott, according to Jacob Hooper, who lives in the second floor front, then went to the porch. A few minutes later he heard Miss Cooper rattling dishes in their room. Believing that she was about to get dishes to set the table he did not pay any attention to this. A few minutes later he went into their bedroom and was dumbfounded when he saw his mate slashing at her throat with a small paring knife.
Miss Cooper, who is a native of Easton, Maryland, is said never to have married and has a sister living in the 1500 block of Jefferson street. Scott hails from Virginia. Jacob Hooper stated that she couple had been living together at this address for about a year. Scott had resided in this same apartment for the last 18 years. The body was sent to Easton
THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1932
SENATOR FRANCE ENDORSED FOR PRESIDENT
Fourth District Group Resolves To Support Former Senator
Baltimore. Md.
The fourth district Republican League in its regular meeting Tuesday night at the Sharp Street Community House endorsed the candidacy of former Senator Joseph I. France as President of the United States. Charles A. Hall, former city committeeman and executive of the 17th ward spoke on the candidacy of Senator France declaring that his experience as a member of Senator France's committee led him to know the Senator as fair, unbiased, and willing to serve his fellow man. M. Alexander Williams, chairman of the league, lauded the Senator for his fine statesmanship and his firmness. He mentioned in connection the stand taken by Senator France several years ago when he introduced an anti-lynching bill in the United States Senate.
France For Repeal
France For Repeal
Among the popular stands of the Senator is his belief in the repeal of the Volstead Act. In this connection his sp. ch in New York on January 15 was mentioned at which time he announced himself as being 100 per cent in favor of the repeal of the Volstead Act.
Resolution Introduced
A resolution was read by the secretary endorsing the candidacy of Senator France. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the group.
RACE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILD NEGLECT --JUDGE WAXTER
Baltimore, Md.
Negroes should get together and demand equal rights for their dependent children from their city councilmen and other political representatives, and if refused should vote against them, declared Judge T. J. S. Waxter, of the juvenile court to the City-Wide Young People's Forum, Friday, at Sharp St. Church.
The judge speaking on "Crime
and Youth," indicated that interest and co-operation of the Negre population nof the city and State is the greatest need in the solution of the problem of juvenile delinquency. Admittin gthat the whites have all the advantages when it comes to institutions for their youth and recreational opportunities the speaker still insisted that indifference on the part of the group had allowed such institutions as Melvale and Cheltenham to exist so long in such a frightful state. Until this year there has never been an institution in the State for the poor, the feeble-minded, the deaf and dumb, or the tubercular children, which fact accounts for a large number of the cases of juvenile delinquency
The' fundamental maxim of Egyptian philosophy was true: Mortal existence is brief; beyond death lies the only "true life." Man's duty is to make ready for it, we cannot deny that this life of ours is not a "true life."
ROPER RESIGNS

along the lines indicated in the Court's opinion."
It is further pointed out that while Justice O'Donoghue in his obiter dictum said: "It is not the duty of a receiver to either rehabilitate a company, nor to reorganize a company, nor in this case of an insurance company to mutualize it;" Justice Alfred Wheat on September 24, 1931 appointed Daniel C. Roper under $50,000 bond, as receiver, pendente life of and for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company with authority and power to take possession of all the offices, books, records, papers property and assets wherever located or situated whether real or personal, of said corporation, to carry on the business of said corporation as a going concern; to employ or discharge such agents, assistants, clerks or other employees and fix their compensation, as in his judgment may be necessary or proper, including the power to employ or dispense with any of the present officers and employees of said corporation, and further to do all other acts and things which he may deem necessary or appropriate to execute the power and authority hereby conferred and as soon as may be to report to the Court with respect to the condition of said corporation and the practicability of rehabilitating and restoring it to safe and sound condition."
Receiver Roper after hearing the opinion of the Court as expressed from the bench on Friday morning immediately resigned and it is the opinion of manv who have carefully followed the tortuous course of the National Benefit muddle that if Justice O'Donoghue signs such a decree—making it impossible for any former officers of the company to assist such receiver and co-receiver as the Court

```
may appoint—it spells ruin for the company.
Mr. Risher in speaking of the situation said: "I have just this to say: "I have personal concern in no factional fight with the present or former officers of the company. I set out to accomplish two things: first, to save the company if I could. Second, to expose and punish if possible those who were responsible for the condition of the company. The outlined decree of Justice O'Donoghue will prevent me from accomplishing my full purpose but I shall continue my fight to carry out my second purpose.
"Indisputable evidence was put in the record which officially proved the insolvency of this company as of December 31, 1927. Since which time approximately $15,000,000 have been paid into the company by its Negro policy holders. I do not regard the decision of Justice O'Donghue as any victory for any of the former officers of the company, but I regard it as a victory for such large financial interests as the Guardian Trust Company and Central National Bank, both of Cleveland; Park National Bank of New York; and Stein Brothers and Boyce, stock-holders of Baltimore; whose manipulations with the funds of the National Benefit were uncovered and exposed by me as President of the company since June 17, 1931. Twelve or fifteen other prominent white men, who feared the result of my activities, including the insurance commissioners of Washington, D. C., Alabama, Arkansas Kentucky, Oklahoma and Missouri; and Frank M. Speakman, the consulting actuary whose names are appended to a report dated May 1, 1928.
"This report said among other things that 'we are attaching to this report marked Exhibits Nos. 2 and 3 Comparative Financial Statements of the National Benefit Life Insurance, as of December 31, 1926, showing the differences between the Assets and Liabilities as reported by the company and as determined by your examiners."
"You will note the company reports a surplus of $150,000 and a Special Contingent Reserve of $2,359.44, whereas we show a deficit, including Capital Stock of $228,724.26. We have commented on the differences under their respective headings."
The question at once arises who was responsible for the continuation of the company in business during the past six years after an impairment of $300,000 was found to exist.
The official reporter for the Equity Court reports the following as the full opinion of Justice Daniel O'Donoghue: "The Court (Justice O'Donoghue). In this case the Court is of the opinion that this company is insolvent. There is evidence here that this company cannot pay its debts, cannot pay the death benefits, and cannot pay the loans to the insured that they are entitled to receive and cannot pay surrender values on their policies. Now, the extend of that insolvency, of course, is a matter of accounting. That being the case, while it may be ultimately found that the company may be in better shape when we come to a final accounting than it is now, this Court is not at this time going to say that the stockholders having rights may not possibly receive some dividends on their stock. Therefore I overruled your action that the intervening petitions be dismissed.
"The receivership must be continued. A receivership is not an ultimate remedy of equity. It is merely an ancillary remedy. There must be some ground for coming into equity other than just the mere receivership; otherwise the proceedings would fail. The only ground set forth specifically in this bill is dissolution, and they pray for such other relief as the Court of Equity may grant. The Court has already appointed a receiver pendente lite. This Court is going to continue the receivership and is going to appoint a co-receiver with the present receiver. It is not the duty of a receiver to neitherhabilitate a company, nor to reorganize a company, nor in the case of an insurance company to mutualize it. The receiver is to continue the operation of the company in statu quo as far as possible, pending the outcome of the litigation. Therefore it is up to the parties in interest, whether the stockholders or the officers of the company, or the policyholders to take such steps as any or all of them may be able to rehabilitate this company, to reorganize this company or to form a new company. This Court cannot do that. If some such plan is not undertaken by the stockholders or by the company or the officers of the company or the policyholders, then there is no other course for this Court to pursue than that of the dissolution of this corporation. This Court is not unmindful of the fact that there are nearly 200,000 poor people that are interested in this litigation, many of whom have put all of their little savings into this company in order to insure them something in a day of stress or in a time of need.
"Therefore, the Court is going to endeavor to, as far as possible, to give these people and those that are interested in them every reasonable, practicable chance to save that which they may have in this company.
"In the opinion of the Court the possibility of anything being done by the company or by the stockholders or by the policyholders or by the officers under the circumstances in this case, with the bitterness in it, with the factionalism in it and the hard feeling that has been engendered, between all of these parties can only be hoped for and obtained by the removal of any officers, present or past, from the employment of the receiver.
"This is not to be construed as

a reflection in any manner upon any of those officers that may be removed. The Court does not so find it and is not basing its opinion upon any such ground. The Court is doing this in the hope that when all occasion for controversy between the various present and past officials of this company is removed then there may be the hope and even the probability of these leaders and those who are interested in this case coming together and formulating some plan that may save this country from dissolution and from ruin. That is the purpose, that is the hope that the Court has in mind in making this decision.
"The Court could, at this time, let this company be dissolved and the assets distributed to the various parties in interest as their various interests may appear, but the Court is not going to do that, because, sitting as a Court of equity and justice, it thinks in fairness to those nearly two hundred thousand people interested in this case the Court should take the chance, even though that chance fails, of continuing this receivership for a reasonable period of time, until an accurate, detailed accounting of the condition of this company, of its assets and liabilities may be ascertained, before any such step is taken.
"Therefore, the Court will instruct the receivers to employ preferably one firm or one individual who is both a competent and experienced actuary and a competent, experienced accountant to make a statement of the assets and liabilities of this concern in detail, giving the actual present value of its assets and finding exactly the amount of its liabilities, not limiting the accounting of the assets just to what are called admitted assets in insurance terminology, but giving in the valuation of assets also the non-admitted assets, and appraising them and giving them in detail so that anyone, or any group, or any organization will know how they may deal with the Court and with the receivers in regard to any possible settlement and rehabilitation or reorganization of the affairs of this company.
"The Court is of the opinion that any proposition that will look toward the reorganization or rehabilitation or the mutualization or the forming of a new corporation can best be subserved by having the parties making any such propositions as it were, on one side, and the Court with its receivers on the other side of the transaction representing all of the parties interested in this case.
"Thus, if the parties are able during the period of time that the actural accountant is working on the affairs of this company to formulate some practical plan

whereby this company may be saved, they will then be able to submit any such proposition to the Court iwmediately after the detailed and completed report of the actuarial accountant is filed.

5-pound fowl
Salt
1 onion, sliced
1 cup vinegar
Few drops tabasco sauce
3 bunches celery
Thick mayonnaise dressing
Lettuce
Place the chicken on a rack in a kettle, half cover with hot water, add 1 teaspoon salt and simmer until tender. Let the chicken cool in the broth. After it is cold remove the skin, strip the meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces of even size. In the meantime soak the onion in the vinegar. Remove a cup of chicken fat from the cold broth, mix with this vinegar, pour over the chicken and add the tabasco and more salt and vinegar if needed to season it well. Let this stand, or marinate, for several hours, or overnight. Cut the celery stalks and some of the tender leaves into small pieces and let stand in a cold place until crisp. Mix enough thick, well-seasoned mayonnaise dressing with the chicken to coat the pieces well. Shortly before the salad is to be served, add the celery and more mayonnaise if needed. Stir the mixture lightly, so as not to break up the chicken. Add still more salt if needed. Pile the salad lightly on crisp lettuce and serve at once.
If desired, add one-fourth cup of capers when the celery and chicken are combined. Hard-cooled eggs may be used as a garnish or cut in pieces and mixed with the chicken to make it go further.
Cook the onion for a few minutes in 1 tablespoon of the fat, add the tomatoes, green peppers and celery, and simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Blend the remaining fat with the flour, add to the sauce with salt and peanut to taste, and stir until it thickens slightly. Fry the bacon until crisp, and toast the bread on both sides until golden brown. Make sandwiches of the bread and bacon and lay the thin slices of cheese on top.

Cuts of beef suitable for pot roasting are chuck ribs, cross arm, clod, round, and rump. Select a piece from 4 to 6 pounds in weight. Wipe with a damp cloth. Rub the meat with salt, pepper and flour. Brown the meat on all sides in a heavy kettle, using about 3 tablespoons of beef fat. Slip a low rack under the meat, add one-half cup of water, cover tightly and simmer until tender. The time required for cooking can not be definitely stated, but it will probably be about three hours.
Turn roast occasionally. When the meat is done, remove from the kettle, skim off the excess fat from the liquid, and measure the remainder. For each cup of gravy desired, measure 2 tablespoons of fat and return to the kettle, add
COLONIAL COSTUMES
THE FASHION OF THE 18TH CENTURY
Featured here, 343, is the accepted "George Washington" Costume which will be seen in this Bi-Centennial Year at ever so many Colonial Balls, Pageants and Masquerades. And rightly so, for in line and design it has been created to enable the masculine form once again to cut a gay figure.
The picturesque coat with its lines of stately grace, displays broad, pointed revers, conspicuous pockets, and cuffs button trimmed. A vest, topped by a frilly tier jabot, gives added beauty, while the close fitting breeches lend a certain swank. Then, too, one must not forget the tri-cornered hat, so characteristic of the Colonial era. Designed in sizes 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42.
The accompanying costume, 344, is the lovely "Martha Washington" Costume which does not miss a single pretty trick of that gay and stirring period. It is sure to receive acclaim for its fair weiren at the many happy and pretentious functions which are to take place this year in every city, town, and village in George Washington's honor. Just note how accurately and minutely every fashion detail is carried out on the figure illustrated. There is the quaint sleeve, caught at the elbow with a bow, the ever so wide pannier skirt with its ruffled trimmed panel insert, and the lovely fitted waist with its fetching bows and dainty ruffling.
Notwithstanding all these intriguing details, this costume is easy to make and will prove lots of fun. Simplified illustrated instructions for cutting and sewing are included with the pattern and complete directions are given.
A pattern of this costume is available in sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46.

If preferred, they may be cooked longer and mashed and served as purée in the gray.
The less tender and less expensive cuts of beef can be made into attractive and delicious dishes when they are cooked properly. The general method of cooking less tender cuts differs from the method for tender cuts in the steps which must be taken to make tough meat tender. Heat, moisture and slow cooking help to accomplish the desired result. First, sear the meat in a small quantity of fat until it is browned. After browning, reduce the cooking temperature, add a small quantity of water and cover the meat tightly. Cook slowly until tender. The added water extracts some flavor from the meat during cooking and makes good gravy. Tomato may be used in place or water to add flavor. Meat from the less tender cuts is also excellent when ground and used in various ways.

DEPRESSION STRIKES WELFARE WORK
The continued chaos, panic, depression, or whatever
you wish to call these distressing times, is very evident in
the shortage of income of the welfare agencies.
President Hoover has stood out against the Federal
Government assisting the unemployed ,citizens of this coun-
try on the ground that it would be a “dole.” Call it what
you will, the same principle is involved in the assistance now
being given by volunteer donors thru the Community Chest
of this city and‘ various other welfare agencies thru out the
country.
_The'Community Chest reports a shortage of about $200,-
900 in its recent drive for funds for this year. Itealso. re-
ports that it spent 77 percent more money in January for
family welfare, than was expended in the same month last
year. }
The Associated Charities will. need $72,000 more than
its first estimate of $256,400. The Catholic charities are
asking for $5,646 additional. In fact every organization is
aeeding more money to take care of the increased demands
for, assistance due to continued unemployment.
Private donors to char‘ty have about gone their limit
and this leaves suffering humanity to its own helplessness.
The ‘National Government, by ‘the persistance of the Presi-
dent, is casting its citizens into a terrible chaotic condition
out of which dissention and even revolution may grow.
We are better off here in Washington than most of the
cities over the country. A large number of our citizens are
government employees and receive their pay regularly. Not
being an industrial city we do not have the large number of
unemployed so evident in other cities. However, our gov-.
ernment building program has attracted an unusually a
number of floaters. |
The fact remains that we have many hundreds of un-
employed men and women who are dependent upon the mem-
per organizations of the Community Chest for relief and sup-
jort. / :
2 Something must be done to meet the requirements.
There is some talk of cutting each organization in the Com-
munity Chest seven percent. This would be a set back to
rome of them. Particularly would it be a handicap to the
colored welfare members.
Why should American citizens be of less value to the
country than American banks and Cea add The Presi-
dent sponsored amdsigned the bill to lend em $2,000,000,-
000. Is the life of an inanimate organization of more value
than the life of a private citizen? Will-the President, who
was the main factor as a private citizen, in relief work in
foreign countries during. and following the world war. per-
mit his citizens to starve and die for the-want of bread dur-
ing his administration? . Was Herbert Hoover the private
citizen, more humane in, 1918-19 than President Herbert
Hoover in 1931 and ’32?. Congress should see to it that some
national relief. is speedily given the American people.
Blessings of the Depression
By Carter G. Woodson
Many of us are now unemployed.
Sciye of vs are'in the bread line
Children are out, of school for lack
of clothing and funds to meet theit
expenses. A number of us hav’
not only lost our jobs but also ou
homes” which we could not refin-
ance during the crisis. Such suf-
fering and hardships have become
so frequent that it is difficult to
tale with @ person five minutes
without having to answer the in-
quiry as to how long this state of
affairs will continue. No one
knows. Beware of the prophets. .
The depression, however, is not
an unmixed evil.’ For the’ colored
people it is a blessing in disguise.
At last we have been hungry long
‘enough to inquire why such a thing
happens. When eur stomachs are
empty and there are no ‘prospects
of filling them soon we finally in-
dulge in serious thinking, a thing
which very few of us have taken
the time to do, In the quietude of
the cold room with the exhausted
meal barrell we are beginning to
diseover that we have difficult
problems which must be solved if
we are to exist in this bread and
butter struggle of today.
In the first place, the Negro has
Jearned that although the race has
many friends in other groups we
must finally depend upon ourselves.
We have profited by the interces-
sion of these friends of other races
At various times, and without their
assistance our struggle upward
would have been decidedly retard-
ed; but this depression has driven
home in sledge-hammer fashion
peso truth that in,our ex-
we cannot depend upon
others. We must fall back on our
own resources. If we have none
‘we are of all nien most miserable.
In various cities which I have
visited this winter I find Negroes
complaining that rich white busi-
‘men who haye regalarly con-
to the Y.M.C.A, the Ur-
and our schools jn the
not employ colored men,
: they must have thousands
in their establishments.
New York. however, is ap-
Fan exception. These busi-
never employed Ne-
in menial capacities,
‘of the positions once
for them in this sphere
‘taken over by whites
the higher pursuits of
can hope to receive from his best
white friends, then, is sufficient
charity to keep him’ alive in time
of acrisis. Their more serious ef-
forts for relief are restricted to
their own race. This has become
strikingly evident in New York
City. The Negro thus consigned
to the bread line, then, becomes
and remains a nonentity in the
social order.
}_-A man dependent on charity. is
of no force in a community. Those
who supply him will determine
where he shall live, what he shall
do, or whether he shal] survive the
ordeal to function at all along
these lines. The friends of the
Negro thus figure out that inas-
‘much as some élement must con-
stitute this lower stratum, these
unfortunates of a race other than
theirs must be so consigned. The
Negro, therefo, must, find some
way to help himself, Theirs is not
to reason why. ‘The thing can be
done, and the colored people must
find bome way to do it.
What resoures has the Negro in
the struggle to help himself?
Roughly speaking, we say he has
‘none, for he belongs to a class of
serfs or paupers. While this con-
dition as a rule may obtain among
colored people, it is not due alto-
gether to causes from without. We
have pauperized ourselves. We do
not use what we have to secure
what we actually need. We walk
over treasures looking for things
which are worthless; and we fail
to understand the possibilities of
the times.
For example, a highly educated
colored man, miseducated in eco-
nomics in one of our “great. uni-
versities” of the North, informed
me the other day that the Negro
thas ne chance in the commercial
world because he has no capital to
organize and promote large cor-
‘porations which contro! both the
raw nmaterials and the market for
the products produced therefrom.
It. is true, that the Negro has
practically no capital in the sense
of having large sums of money at
the —< ofa bay reg
members of the race.
together at random a pins
white men and compare them with
& similar number of colored men
thus assembled, however, the col-
ored group would represent about
as much wealth as the white with
the exception of the few who have
ietecea their fellows to join with
them in pooling their small eara-
ings for cooperative enterprise.
The colored people have this same
opportunity, especially in .supply-
ing their own, but hitheto we have
apparently existed only . for the
good we are to enrich others; and
it. is unfortunate that we do not
embrace this opportunity.
Is it true that big business has
‘made difficult such organizations
for further enterprise among peo-
‘ple who have not hitherto been
‘alert in this sphere? Some of the
‘thinking people of the country
have gone so far as to regard the
effects of this depression as indi-
‘cating the twilight of big business.
Under certain circumstances, big
business is ideal for amassing mil-
lions. Under other circumstance:
like the present depression, it
works like a millstone about’ the
neck of the owner.
Big business has to provide a
large and expensive executive
force; it must pay for high rents,
large commissions, and costly ad-
vertising, and consequently it must
do a large volume of business or
fail. Small business requiring very
little of such an outlay; and al-
though the cost of production may
be a little high the price may be
as low as that of large corpora-
tions and still have a fair profit.
In case bf a depression readjust-
ment which is an easy matter for
small business is an impossibility
for the large enterprises and many
‘of them become bankrupt in the ef-
fort. Statistics of the present
crises show that small businesses
are succeeding in weathering the
storm while large corporations in
the same sphere are going into
bankruptcy. This may offer the
colored people a solution of their
‘ploblem. i
To say that there is no solution
‘is both foolhardy and suicidal; and
‘he who is so insufficiently read in
history or who has such a little
confidence in himself and his peo-
ple as to despair should not be fol-
Jowed in this crisis, To keep such
leadership of beggars before. the
race as ideal will be a fatal error.
The Negro needs all of the help
that other friends will give him,
and he deserves it, but until he
learns that a greater help must
‘come from within, he will never
amount td much in this country or
|anywhere else in this world.
N.A.C.W, REQUESTS COURSES
IN SOCIAL SERVICE AT H. U.
£ditor, tribune: ‘
For ‘several years there has ex-
isted in the District of Columbia a
situation which, to thinking peo:
ple, seems inexcusable. Positions
‘of importance in the various wel-
fare agencies of the city have beer
closed to Negro social workers be-
cause, according to those — in
authority, they have inadequate
preparation for such work. White
Social workers, who need extra
courses for promotion and ad-
vancement in the service have the
opportunity of attending evening
classes in Social Work at George
Washington and Catholic Univer-
sities while continuing their work
each day. A similar opportunity
for self-improvement is denied the
Negro worker because she may not
attend the above named schools a
account of race, and because the
one large institution in the Dis-
trict of Columbia devoted to Ne-
gro education, Howard University,
has no school of soclal service nor
does it offer adequate courses in
welfare work to those desirous of
taking them. Repeated efforts to
have such a school established
have been made by individuals and
by local organizations through
conferences and extensive corre-
spondence with those in authority
at the institution but up to the pre-
sent time results have been most
discouraging to those interested.
For more than a year the Na-
tional Association of College Wo-
men, an organization of women
from every section of the United
States interested in futhering Ne-
gro education to the highest de-
gree, has been making repeated re-
quests and persistent efforts to
have a school of social service
established at Howard. A recent
survey made of southern institu-
tions has shown that schools less
favorably endowed and with fewer
advantages both as to location and
teaching facilities have courses a:
those. desired for Howard, Why
should men and women engaged ir
welfare work at small salaries in
the District of Columbia be com-
_pelled to give up that work and
travel to such distant points as At-
lanta, Ga. “Nashville, Tenn., New
York City or Minneapolis, Minn. in
order, to acquire adequate course
of instruction that should be in-
eluded in the curriculum of the
‘largest Negro University in the
world? Why should thirty. or more
students now attending Howard

ing the field of social service be
denied that privilege by their Al

The Executive Committee of the

in Washington, D.C,, February 13,

visors to Women and Girls in Col-

19, 1932 at Tuskegee, Ala, These
conferences, started in Washing-

year by ‘the N.A.C.W,, have been
quite helpful to the’ women in

Derricotte was one of those whose

CRIMES OF JUSTICE
‘One-eyed Justice has decreed
that he who takes a life must give
this own; that the man who forces
‘@ woman into the sexual act, must
pay with his neck. So last week
two Negroes were sentenced to
death for murder—Buel Lee in
Maryland and Willie Peterson in
Alabama—while at Scottsboro,
Alabama, eight Negro boys lie in
prison under sentence of death
for alleged rape.
"Assuming that these persons con-
wicked hy, Justice, are actually
guilty of the two crimes, what
does it profit Justice to exact in
‘payment their ten lives—even a
‘single life? Will it prevent other
men from committing murder or
‘rape? Will it actually punish the
guilty persons? Will it establish
for Justice the reverence she
needs ? No; it will do none of these
things! When the State takes a
life in the name of Justice, it does
three things: it elimimates for-
‘ever the possibility of punishing
the prisoner for the crime which
jhe has committed; | it commits
‘murder itself, thereby giving a
sanction to individuals who kill;
it leaves the heads of Justice
stained with blood, thereby de-
grading her in the eyes of men.
Justice, the simple-minded, one-
eyed goddess, is a man made crea-
ture, She was created in man's
own image. She cannot escape
her human heritage. She is a:
stupid and bigoted as vindictive
and cruel as some of the petty
‘creatures who helped bring her
into being. And men despise her
because thes see too much. of
‘themselves in her. Because they
know she has a human brain they
‘think they can out-wit her. She
neither punishes those who com-
mit crimes nor deters others from
committing them. She is too
primitive for civilized man. Not
until she grows _ intelligept and
merciful will she instill respect in
| men. Today, Justice is the most
incorrigible criminal.
—San Francisco Spokesman.
MURDER IS MURDER — AND
ONE LAW SHOULD BE FOR ALL
It is imperative that the United
States Government take care of
her own domestic affairs by seein:
to it that such men are kept in of-
= who will hora ars and by
means protect life ai perty
One tannot understand why ‘there
should be so much disturbance over
the -Honolula affair that they
should go so far as criticize of-
ficials who have graduated from
the leading colleges and aniversi-
ties of this country were sworn in
to execute the laws as are laid
down in our statute peste.
Such happenings as the outrace
in the Massey case should be left
entirely with the Attorney Gen-
that are weathering the storm, re-
gardless of who the conductors
may be.
‘To be specifie, however, I am un-
able to see how anyone’ could in-
terpret, or conclude, that one is
ousted, or has lost control of a
situation, when he maintains his
position as chairman of the board
of directors, the most influential
and key-position on any director-
ate?
‘And then too, it may be just a
eoineidence that a man who is ele-
vated to the position of president
happens not only to be the best
trained and best fitted for the job,
but is also the son-in-law of the
chairman of the board of direc-
tors?
Having weathered three storms,
and being the only bank on the
southside of Chicago, white or
‘black, to pull through the past de-
pression with flags sailing, I would
call the recent shift, a strategic
move on the part of its directorate,
and I would say, in theory at least,
that Anthony Overton has now an
even tighter grip on the affairs of
the Douglass National Bank, but is
wise in permitting the younger
men to have an opportunity to
demonstrate their fitness to “carry
on.”
This writer would suggest that
the reader should study up on the
subjects of corporate management,
control and law, for such a khow-
ledge is necessary to appreciate a
piece of good financing when it is

eral, Governor and other officials
of the Island. It is to be remem-
bered less than three weeks ago
there were two colored men taken
from a county, jail and lynched
It seems that they had no protec-
‘tion whatever. The County Sher-
iff disappeared and later gave out
some fantastic tale that he was out
of town; as a matter of fact no of-
ficer who is holding, such an im:
portant position as Sherriff should
go away without having some-
one in his place to protect life and
property. It is a question in my
mind what the “Attorney General
and others have done about that.
‘The results are that Mrs, Isley an
innocent woman was brutely mur-
dered with her maid and no one
seems to know who did it, 1 there-
fore see no reason for such an at-
tack on the home of the Hon. A, C.
Steadman and others.
To the best of my judgment i
is unfortunate that the members $
the House Naval Affairs Commit-
tee cannot interest themselves in
the murdering and debauchery that
has soiled our fair name at home.
We therefore feel very grateful to
the Hon, Mr. McKellar, Democrat
of Tennessee, for Seynite the
Audit Committee that horrible
crimes were being done here and
if they will protect life and prop-
erty here I feel that the Attorney
General and others of the Island
should be at least competent
enough to protect and execute the
laws there. If the law says “Thou
shalt not kill” (as is the 8th com-
mandment) then it applies to the
rich and higher-ups as it does to
the poor and humble. I can_see
no reason why Mr. and Mrs. Mas-
sey and Mrs. Grandrulle Fontascue
should have so much protection
for murder,

MISS BURROUGHS OFF THE

Dear Editor: |
There appeared in your papel
several weeks ago an article, “Or
With Depression” by Nannie Bur.
roughs. I read it twice—and it all
seemed so foolish. I never knew
before that there was a single per-
son on earth who approved of de-
pression—but the Burroughs lady
said, “we need it.”
I ‘know that depression has not
effeeted the Burroughs lady, or she
could not have been made to sa3
that if her life depended on it. She
thinks that this depression is an
“act of God,” maintaining that it
was all thrown upon us because w
tre anfal. Tam spre she forgo
that preachers and deacons are
starving too. So she might a:
well call our church leaders. sin-
ners also.
Miss Burroughs says the real de-
pression has not come upon us as
yet, adding that when it does come
it will effect. the rich as well as
‘the poor, I wonder from. what
source the lady got her informa-
tion, Is she a prophet? Did God
send her this information via
dream? Iam so grateful to know
that we have a great prophet in
our midst.
And so, the lady not only thinks
but talks’ (as if she knew) that it
will “hit” the rich as well as the
poor. 1 wonder, if, it ill effec
john D., or Henry F., and Andrew
Mellon. I wonder if depression
will effect her, if it does come on
as the lady thinks it. will.
I guess this was the only “en-
couragement” that Miss Burroughs
could offer the poor men and wo-
men who are out of work and
starving to death. This is surely
giving the unemployed a “helping
hand.” But after all, Miss Bur-
roughs does not know what will
happen. She is simply _ stating
what she thinks. Personally, I
think that the lady is far “off the
track” and that depression is al-
most over. Let us hope so.

The Editors, Tribune:
Gentlemen: I have read your
editorial of February 12 relative to
“U.S. African Possessions,” and I
am of the opinion that your posi-
tion as expressed is economically
sound. If your policy in this re-
gard should be adopted by | out
jovernment I believe that the re-
sulting good to millions of Black
folk on two continents would be
‘enormous, and indeed, it might
lend a ray of hope to the perplex-
‘ed minds of some of fairest think-
ers of the white race in America.
I also read your front page edi-
torial of the same issue, wherein
you discussed the affairs of the
National Benefit, While I agree
with your position in spirit, T am
afraid that you have gained con-
siderable erroneous information.
‘You indicate that the liquidation
of the Masonic matter would les-
‘sen the reported insolvency of Na-
tional Benefit, This is not true
[because little or no deduction from
admitted assets has been made on
account of that item. It is true of
course, that for the benefit of the
policyholders, the item should be
‘put in liquid ‘shape as soon as pos-
sible,
Again, your editorial on this
subject ‘is greatly misleading in
that you seek to show that the re-
serves on assessment business of
National Benefit are included in
the impairment to the extent of
more than a million and a half dol-
lars. This is not true. The facts
are, the figure you refer to
amount to something Jess than
$400,000, and even with regard to
that figure, many of the other
states require companies to set up
‘eserves on such Business, and if
they did not so require, in good
conscience, a company should pro-
vide “voluntary reserves” for this
type of business. Of the $400,000
of this type of reserve, only about
$110,000 applies to District of Co-
lumbia policyholders, and purely as
a matter of equity, why should a
policyholder not be provided for
Just because he happens to reside
in Washington?
-Thave taken the time to-go into

‘these matters for you, because of
the very great respect which I
have for the usual editorial hon-
esty and integrity of your paper,
and I do not believe you would
knowingly mistate material facts

that no construetive conclusion was

President Hoover appoints @ comi-

‘methods of handling the trouble-

makes his own report and leaves
us worse confused and confounded

votes forty million dollars for the
more rigid enforcement of the dry
law, but we are still in the maize
and miasma of doubt and’ confa-
sion. Demoeratie and Republican

rising or receding tide of wetness.
The lime light has been thrown on
the spectacular Bishop Cannon
Whose. zeal for prohibition has
eaten him up. -He is denounced on
the floor of Congress as criminal
violator of law and indicted by a
federal grand jury whose indict-
ment, has been quashed by a fede-
ral judge. Republican politicians
have been trembling in their boots
as they felt the control of the
House of Representatives slipping
from their hands by the insidious
anti-prohibition forees. New Jer-
sey, Illinois and Ohio, Republican
strong holds, have joined the co-
horts of King Booze. | Newspapers,
magazines, books and pamphlets
are crowded with advocacy of the
pro or con sides of the controversy.
With the possible exception of the
depression and the foreign embrog-

terest and discussion for the past
two years gone. And yet our news-
papers, orators, writers and pub

with unconcern as if the matter
were foreign to our lives and in-
terests.
As a matter. of fact the colored
race is most vitally of all concern-
ed in this nation sweeping move-
ment. The small scale speak-
easies and bootlegging are carried
on in large measure by Negro
agencies under manipulation of
masterminds higher up. The ill

any essential difference of princi-

the liquor evil. It is no longer a
question of political parties but
of relative wetness and dryness
that counts for most.
By a wise use of his franchise,
on the principles laid down im the

his strategic chance. He may
easily throw the balance to the

GILLIGAN DEFEATED; PROTESTED ERECTION OF COLORED SCHOOL
BICENTENNIAL EDITION
ROUND NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
O ERECT SCHOOL ON BATES ROAD OVER PROTESTS
O ERECT SCHOOL ON BATES ROAD OVER PROTESTS
rev. Bennett Flays Anti-
Negro Attitude of Whites
in Opposing School
Declaring that the only time
one whites wanted colored people
was in time of war, the Rev.
I. A. Bennett, member of the
board of Education, introduced a
Motion authorizing the District
commissions to proceed, with the
purchase of land for a new color-
ial school on Bates Road near
rock Creek Church road
The special meeting of the board was held at the Franklin administration Building on Friday. The motion by the Rev. Bennett was passed by a vote of 1 to 1. Henry Gilligan cast the only dissenting vote. The action by the board reaffirmed a former action taken some time ago. However, at a later meeting a storm of protests by whites caused the board to ask the Commissioners withhold purchases until the board had time to go further into the matter.
Whites Protest
Many white organizations and associations protested the proposed erection of a school in this neighborhood claiming that the area was composed largely of whites and the colored population as decreasing.
Mr. Gillingan, who is known for its anti-Negro sentiment, fought desperately to have the matter delayed until a further meeting. Heied many expedient to filibuster order to have the final action postponed. In a fiery speech Mr. Gilligan told of his alleged fairness to colored persons and said he had lost many friends and some friends due to his favorable attitude to colored persons in the board room.
Mr. Gilligan also told of "some his best colored friends," but did he was not in favor of forcing colored school on a white neighborhood.
No Negroes in Heaven
In flaying the action of Mr. Gilligan, the Rev. Bennet said he hoped there will be no Negroes in heaven or hell, and stated that the only time colored people were wanted was when the "flag was danger." Mr. Gilligan replied that he agreed with the speaker and hoped that all will be "at sat alike."
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, board member, said that she had made a special investigation of the proposed school site and found from her investigation that the children the neighborhood certainly needed a school, as they would have to walk a distance of two three miles to attend the nearest school. A big delegation of whites from the Bates Road section were present, but were not allowed to speak "as they had nothing new" to tell the Board,
Balloon Cities Need
A large delegation of colored persons were also present representing civic and other organizations. The final action of the board was taken after Superintendent Frank W. Ballou had submitted his report to the Board showing the necessity for a school the area. Superintendent Bailu's report showed that the enlistment at Bates Road School as February 2 was 33 in the first tree grades. Of these 33 children, 30 are residents of the District and three are residents of millum Manor, Md. He stated at there are 94 colored children this area in the first six grades, ad 110 in the first eight grades, he need convenient school location on an dnort have to go two and free miles to school.
Eighty-Six Children
A detailed study of the children living in the general area, be served by this school shows at there are 86 children who could be served by a school loted in the vicinity of Bates road, and that there will be 8 additional children of school age September 1932, making a total 94 children in this general area of these children are residents the District of Columbia with exeception of 8; 3 now atates Road, 2 at Mott and 3 atater-Langston; and one to be omitted at Bates Road in September, 1932.
The reason for the small enrollment at the Bates Road School at esent, is that the enrollment is omitted to the first three grades, are being no kindergarten and grades above the third at this school. Three grades are all that the teacher could reasonably be expected to teach.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE MAKES PRINTED REPORT
UNEMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE MAKES PRINTED REPORT
Committee Adaps Plan For Campaign; Appoints Director
The committee; on Improving Industrial Conditions Among Colored People in the District of Columbia, has compiled and printed the result of the survey made by the committee.
The committee met Thursday and discussed the report and planned a campaign based on the survey.
The committee decided upon three steps which should be undertaken simultaneously.
1. The public should be placed in a receptive and cooperative attitude toward the program of this Committee through a publicity campaign conducted in the churches, benevolent and fraternal associations, parent-teacher associations, civic associations and the press. The object of this campaign will be to inform the citizens of Washington of the work of this Committee, the facts developed in its survey, and the program being wored out. Their cooperation should be urged in order that any advance made by the Committee might solicit prompt response on the part of the public.
2. New employment opportunities should be sought in the chain grocery stores, chain drug stores and laundry branches, especially those located in colored neighborhoods and catering largely to colored people. In the cases of the dairies in the city a similar effort should be made to place route drivers. This is not the extent of the new Employment Opportunities Campaign that should be conducted but it represents what we feel to be the best starting point. The definite line of procedure should be to have a small committee of not more than three prominent citizens visit the President or local general manager of the concerns under consideration and place before these officials in conference the fairness and the desirability of employing colored clerks and managers in stores catering largely to colored people.
3. Among the reasons given on failure to employ Negroes were the following: Lack of skill among Negroes, lack of education, intractability of some Negro clerks, unreliability, lack of cleanliness and tidiness, failure to report to work after Sundays, holidays and paydays, drunkenness, refusal or inability to work under Negro bosses. We feel that there is sufficient truth in these reasons to justify the beginning of an educational campaign to offset them through every possible medium, including our business schools. In carrying out this educational program a Speakers Bureau should be inaugurated not only to educate Negro employees for mre efficient service but also to educate the public to take the part which has been outlined for them under the first paragraph of these recommendations. Both jobs could be done at the same time by a group of competent speakers thoroughly informed on the facts.
This program should be begun at once. There are a number of factors which make this an ideal time for starting such a campaign, among them being the strong competition now existing in every sphere of business.
The survey was printed by the Associate Publishers of which Dr. Carter G. Woodson is director and the booklet sells for $1.00.
This committee will endeavor to coordinate each of the agencies now trying to launch an employment campaign, such as the N.A.A.C.P., the College Women and a group of business men in the U street section.
The campaign of education will be launched at once with Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A. as director.
S. W. Rutherford is chair man of this committee. Others present were Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the survey: Rev. R. W. Brooks, Mrs. M. A. McAdoo, Major Campbell C. Johnson is secretary and director of the Speakers Bureau. Rev. W. H. Thompson, W. H. Lewis, jr., Dr. A. Hillyer, A. S. Pinkett, Edward F. Arnold, Mrs. L. Cohen, Miss Beatrice C. Catlett, W. H. Wall, Miss H. R. Collier, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and J. A. G. LuValle.

MU-SO-LIT CLUB INAUGURATES ITS MONTHLY FORUM
MU-SO-LIT CLUB INAUGURATES ITS MONTHLY FORUM
The Subject: "The Place of The College In Business Leadership
The Public Forum of the Mu-So-Lit Club had its initial opening last Sunday at the club house, 1327 R street, northwest. A large number of persons were on hand to witness the opening.
The principal address was delivered by Professor Jesse W. Lewis, head of the Department of Business Administration of Howard University. Mr. Lewis spoke on "The Place of the College in the Development of a Business Leadership," paying particular attention to what is being done along this line at Howard University. The speaker advocated a special tariff for Negro business whenever such a tariff was found to be needed, that is to say if a Negro merchant found it necessary to sell his goods for a few pennies more than his competitor, the race should be willing to pay this additional cost in order that the Negro business might serve and prosper.
The general discussion was opened by F. Morris Murray, president of the Washington Tribune Publishing Company and the Murray Brothers, Printers. Others taking part in the discussion were Mrs. Gabriele B. Drake, president of the Maceo Literary Club, W. S. Bester, a local clothing merchant, James A. Jackson, business specialist in the Department of Commerce, Dr J. Stephen Lewis and M. Grant Lucas, president of the Mu-So-Lit Club.
Dr. John W. Davis, formerly the secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. of this city and at the present time president of the West Virginia State College, was present and spoke at length on the subject. Dr. Davis, in speaking on the question of the tariff on Negro business, stated that such a tariff was not necessary for the maintenance of race business and that if a tariff was to be at all that it should be only temporary. The discussion proved to be very interesting and profitable.
A musical program were rendered by J. H. Sharpe and Sherman Smith, both of the conservatory of Music of Howard University.
The Forum will meet the third Sunday in each month. The program for the next meeting, which will be March 20, is being arranged and will be announced later. The committee having charge of the forum is heading up by A. L. Taylor, as chairman; Dr. J. Stephen Lewis, James A. Jackson, John F. Bright and Atty. Chas. Toms.

HOWARD GRADS PROMINENT IN CITY SCHOOLS
HOWARD GRADS PROMINENT IN CITY SCHOOLS
By Emory B. Smith
Although the 8.399 graduates of Howard University are distributed throughout the nation the islands of the sea, and in fourteen foreign countries in the various professions and walks of life a glimpse of the public schools of the District of Columbia, Divisions 10-13, reflects something of the calibre of Howard University's products in the field of education.
No figures are available for the actual number of teachers in the Washington public schools who are graduates of Howard University. The following administrative officers received their training at least in part at Howard:
Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, is a graduate of the Howard Law School in the class of 1909; Howard Long, also assistant superintendent is a graduate of Teachers College, class 1915; a-d A. Kiger Savoy, the other assistant superintendent, is a member of the Teachers College, class 1930.
Mrs. Willard C. Mayer, director of primary instruction is a Howard graduate in the class of 1926, and Mrs. Ethel Harris Grubb, head of the department of mathematics, and Edward B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education, together with John C. Bruce, supervisor of Division 13, and C. O. Lewis director of evening and vacation schools are all Howard graduates.
The following school principals also received their training at Howard: Walter Smith, Dunbar High School; G. Smith Wormley, Randall Junior High School; Joseph G. Logan, Shaw Junior High School, Mrs. Mary Plummer, Francis Junior High School, Mrs. Valerie E. Chase, Brown Junior High School; M. Grant Lucas, Wormley School; James Miner, Monroe School; Mrs. Josephine C. Smith, Summer-Magruder School; Miss Effie Simmons, Garfield School; Miss Martha Winston, Charles Young.
As administrative principals Howard University is represented in Miss Edith Lyons, Morgan School; Miss Angelina E. Bishop, Douglas-Simmons; and Samuel D. Mathews, Bannaker. Jones School; Miss Jennie Mustapha is principal of the evening high school, and Miss Julia Brooks, assistant principal of Dunbar High School.
For the most part, these positions were obtained in competitive examinations which included representatives of leading American universities. Howard graduates are also largely represented on the faculty of Miner Teachers College, the several high and elementary schools.
While being careful to avoid the danger of inbreeding, Howard graduates hold many important administrative positions at the University. Among these are Dr. E. P. Davis, dean of the College of Liberal Arts; Dwight O. W. Holmes, dean of the College of Education; Lewis C. Downing, acting dean of the College of Applied Science; Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, dean of the College of Medicine and the School of Medicine: Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women; and F. D. Wilkinson, registrar.
Two Cut; Four Arrested
Two persons were slightly cut and four arrested on charges of disorderly conduct as the aftermath of a free-for-all fight in the 1200 block of U street, northwest, late Monday night. The argument which later resulted in the fight is said to have started in a local dance hall.
G. Nickens, 21, of 1218 T street, northwest, received stab wounds in the back while Edward Shorter, 22, 1928 Twelfth street, northwest, sustained cuts about the neck. Both were treated at Garfield Hospital and later arrested along with Julius Alston, 18, 2723 Eleventh street, northwest, by Second Precinct police. Three of the youths forfeited $5 callateral.
Hit-Run Driver Caught After Chase in Street
Abram Lee, 26, of the 100 black of Randolph street, was arrested Tuesday and charged with leaving the scene after colliding, following his capture by a motorist after a chase.
In trying to escape Lee collided with a parked car in the 2200 block of Flagler street. The man was later treated at Freemens Hospital for cuts and bruises about the face, said to have been received in the collision.

ASKS BOARD TO BE NEUTRAL IN BACK SALARY REQUEST
ASKS BOARD TO BE NEUTRAL IN BACK SALARY REQUEST
Directors Seek $52,635 Due Them From 1906 To Year 1924
Representing ten employees of the Board of Education who are now in the public school system, Attorney L. Lisemby appeared before the Board of Education Friday in behalf of these teachers who claim $52,635 back salary owed them by the District of Columbia.
Mr. Lisemby spoke in regards to H. R. Bill 3898 which was introduced by Representative Oscar Despriest, December 8, 1931 and referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. The object of the bill is to provide a fund with which to pay certain colored so-called assistant directors in the public schools back salary over a period from 1906 to 1924 so as to make their salaries during that period equivalent to that of directors of drawing, physical culture, music, domestic art and kindergartens under the Act of Congress of June 20, 1906.
It was pointed that the term "assistant" as applied to colored was used to designate race and the lower salary scale.
Mr. Lisemby took the stand that the Board of Education in its report to the District Commissioners should take a neutral position and took exception to the statement by the Board that "had Congress believed there should have been a refunding of salaries from 1924 back to 1906 in order to equalize the two groups, such belief would surely have evidenced itself in the 1924 Act or some other independent act on the subject."
