Marriage License
A decision of far reaching im-
portance to hundreds of married
couples in the District was handed
down by Judge Isa: R. Hitt in
Pollice Court last Saturday when
he dismissed charges against Rev.
Adolph S. Ford, 1201 Q street
northwest.
The law requiring that marriage
ceremonies be performed by the
minister named on the license was
ought to be invoked with the issuance
of a warrant against the Rev.
Ford by Mrs. Maude R. Ry-
observed.
A. Rynex said a higher court
has not passed on the question of
whether a couple is legally mar-
ried when the ceremony is per-
formed by some minister not
named on the license, and she
made the Twyman-Turner marriage
a test case.
The court room was crowded
with couples who had been married
by, insists who were not named
on the license.
In dismissing the case Judge Hitt said Mrs. Renex had no right to take out the warrant and ruled marriages performed by ministers not named on the licenses were legal. The court pointed out that if the law were enforced it would reveal there are hundreds of couples, here not legally married. The Rev. Ford is registered in the local court as a minister and he also took the precaution in returning the license to make a note of the fact that he performed the ceremony instead of the minister named. Attorney Mortimer Harris represented the Rev. Ford while Assistant District Attorney Keough appeared for the government.

A decision of far reaching importance to hundreds of married couples in the District was handed down by Judge Isaac: R. Hitt in Police Court last Saturday when he dismissed charges against Rev. Adolph S. Ford, 1201 Q street northwest.
The law requiring that marriage ceremonies be performed by the minister named on the license was sought to be invoked with the issuance of a warrant against the Rev. Ford by Maude R. Ryex in charge of the District License Bureau. The charge was that the minister married Ernest Iwman and Miss Marita Turner on March 13 under a license which named another minister. It was the first time in the memory of court attendants that the old law had been attempted to be enforced.
Mrs. Rynex obtained the warrant after the minister returned the blank attached to the license filled out with his name as the officiating clergyman instead of that originally specified when the license was secured. Mrs. Rynex pointed out that the action was taken to notify ministers and couples that the law in this respect, as stated on the marriage license, must be

LOCAL MAN SUES BALTIMORE PAPER FOR $75,000
LOCAL MAN SUES BALTIMORE PAPER FOR $75,000
Claims Afro-American Said Charles Craft "Broke Nigerian Bank"
BALTIMORE, Md. (CNS)—The Baltimore Afro-American, of which Carl Murphy is editor, was named defendant in a $75,000 libel suit, last week, by Charles C. Craft, of Washington, D.C. The suit, filed by Attorney Josiah Henry, of this city in the Court of Common Pleas, sets forth an alleged libel of Mr. Craft published in the Afro-American on January 17, 1931.
The most recent libel suit against the Baltimore weekly is one of several suits for large sums now pending against the publishers of the paper. Some months ago the same paper was sued for $100,000 by Charles Satchell Morris.
The petition in the Craft suit sets forth that the Afro-American described Craft, who had at that time returned to the United States from Lagos, british West Africa, as secretary of the Commercial and Industrial Bank of Nigeria, as "the man who broke Nigerian Bank." The article further described Craft, according to the petition, as an "alleged bank swindler" and in the body of the article set out facts purporting to show a shortage in the funds of the bank in the amount of $55,000.
The suit is of more than usual interest because, the publication of the alleged libel is stated to have resulted in the disruption of pending agreements not only for enlarging the facilities of the Commercial and Industrial Bank, but as well of vitality injuring the business reputation of the West African Co-operative Producers Company, in which Mr. Craft had a large interest.
The plaintiff in the suit is the member of a prominent Washington family, who went .o the Gold Coast of British West Africa in 1926. Shortly thereafter he became associated with Mr. Tete Anah, in the founding of the bank in question as well as the West African Co-operative Producers Company. Mr. Craft was secretary of the bank and associated on the board of control of the producers (Continued on page 2)

SMOKE SCREEN RUM RUNNER UNDER $5,000 BOND
Elmo J. Johnson, 29, of 1014 Columbia road, northwest, was held under $5,000 bond, Monday, on charges of possession of 168 half gallons of whiskey, possession of a smoke screen, and carrying a concealed weapon.
Johnson was arrested early Monday when three policemen were forced to abandon the chase of a rum-running machine when they became drowsy from the effects of a smoke screen which had been laid down by the pursued car. It was later developed that the solution which was used in the smoke screen apparatus was 50 per cent ether. The car was later found in a garage in the rear of 2246 Ontario road.
Police cited the car at First and Monroe streets, northwest, when it speeded by them. They followed for nearly two miles until they were forced to give up because of the heavy screen of smoke. Acting on a tip police went to the Ontario road address where they found Johnson and another man unloading the car. The other man escaped.

SENATE PRUNES
H. U. $400,000
The Senate Appropriations Committee dropped two building projects for Howard University, from the Interior Department bill last Wednesday. The items, totaling $400,000, carried out the order of the Senate to reduce the total of the supply measure to 10 per cent under the House total, which brought the bill down from $50.446,422.23 to $45.398,672.33. The House had allowed $200,000 for a heat and power plant and $100,000 toward a library building at Howard, and both items went out in the pruning process. However, they may be put back when the conference composed of both Senate and House members take the matter up. The action by the conference will be final, as it will determine whether Howard gets the plant and library.

MISS ALICE BELL EXONERATED BY SCHOOL BOARD
Teacher Who Figured In Newspaper Two Years Ago Wins $3,500 Judgement
Miss Alice E. Bell, a teacher in the public schools, was exonerated of all charges by the Board of Education in a special meeting, Tuesday, at Franklin Administration Building.
The alleged charges against Miss Bell grew out of an article published in a local newspaper two years ago. Miss Bell sued the paper and was awarded a judgment of $3,500. The Board stated that the result of this action by the court vindicates Miss Bell and she has been restored to her former status.
The action was brought by Miss Bell following the publishing of an article in which it was stated that Miss Bell conducted herself in an unbecoming manner at a dawn dance held at one of the local dance halls.
Mrs. E. E. Just, former teacher in the public schools, through her attorney, Frank Easby-Smith asked the Board to definitely state the board's position with respect to her appointment, so that counsel may have such ruling upon which to base a petition for writ of mandamus.
The Board approved its action of a former meeting when it recommended the disapproval of Mrs. Just as teacher "and sees no reason why its opinion should be changed."
The Board was in receipt of a communication from Corporation Counsel McBride in which he stated that "neither the spirit nor the letter of the law is violated" by pupils taking part in school plays. It was also announced at the meeting that the addition to Randall Junior High School has been completed as of March 5. Edward C. Sheridan in a letter to the Board suggested that high school cadets be encouraged to wear their uniforms generally in public, and not only on drill days. April 13 was set by the Board as the date on which members will meet with representatives of citizens' associations and receive suggestions for budget estimates for 1034. Mrs. H. J. Harris, a teacher in Division 11 will be retired on April 30, at her own request.

SAYS PROFESSOR WAS LOCKED IN ROOM WITH WIFE
University Tells Thompson He Should Take Matter To Civil Court
The board of trustees of Howard University refused to take action against Professor Percy Lavor Julian, professor of chemistry, or charges preferred against him by Robert B. Thompson, assistant director of chemical laboratories who alleged that Dr. Julian was unduly friendly with the latter's wife.
In an affidavit submitted to the administration, Mr. Thompson claims that on October 31, 1931, he found his wife, Mr. Anna Thompson, in Dr. Julian's apartment at 1736 Willard street. Thompson alleges that he was refused admittance and was kept locked out. The university took the stand that the matter was one for civil action and would not take any steps until the courts had rendered a decision. The Thompsons are separated.
Wanted Job Security
In a stenographic conversation with Prof. Ralph Bunche, assistant to Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of the university, Thompson stated that what he wanted before he filed his affidavit was protection against losing his position as he was under Dr. Julian. Thompson said he wanted security and plenty of it, and to be sure of his position.
On March 13, Dr. Julian charges against Thompson with the board of trustees with the recommendation of Dean Davis of the College of the Liberal Arts recommending the dismissal of Thompson. The charges will be heard by the board of trustees at the next meeting on April 12. It is alleged that Dr. Julian has been "having trouble" with Thompson for some time as he has failed to "co-operate" with the department.
Denies "Keep Quiet" Paper
In a letter to an out-of-town paper this week it is alleged in a statement that Thompson was asked to sign a "keep quiet" document. Prof. Bunche denies this statement and said Thompson in the one that wanted to keep quiet in order to keep his job and do nothing to jeopardize it.
Prof. Bunche in a signed statement in the Tribune this week denies ever seeing the alleged "compromise" document until it appeared in the press. Judge James A. Cobb was brought into the picture when Prof. Bunche says that the jurist had a copy of the alleged document. Dr. Jacob B.

R. B. Elcazer, director of the Commission's educational work, reported that effective race relations studies are being carried on in hundreds of high schools and colleges in the South, and that thousands of pupils are enlisted in these studies. Cooperating with the Commission in this work, the Commission was told, are a large number of college presidents, professors, and public school administrators who are fully in sympathy with the Commission's educational program and are doing all in their power to promote it.
Referring to the death last November of one of its members, Dean Juliette Derricotte, of Fisk University, the Commission adopted the following resolutions.
"Whereas, member of this Commission, Miss Juliette Derri-cotte, though critically injured last November in an auto accident at Dalton, Ga., and in desperate need of hospital care, was unable, because of her race, to receive it, though an excellent public hospital was immediately at hand; and Whereas, this t agegy dramatizes the fact that in most of our communities, outside the larger cities, no hospital facilities are provided for Negroes and d none other made available to them, how ever desperate their conditions; Therefore "Be It Resolved: That the Commission earnestly invites the attention of all fair-minded people to this widespread and tragic need, and urges that stems be taken everywhere to meet it."

White Superiority Myth Says Negro Communist
(Pspecial to the Tribune)
TISPITBURGH Pa.—Revolution
—social, economical, and political
—as the only means of emancipating the American white workingman and Negro workingman, from continued oppression by the capitalist, unlic class, was the theme of a talk by Russell Patterson, noted Negro attorney, of New York City, before the Inquiry Club, on March 23, in 107 Alumni Hall.
Mr. Patterson maintained that the supposed inferiority of the black man to the white man is a myth created and kept up by the ruling class in order to exploit Negroes in America.
The problem of the Negro, he argued, is a social, not a racial, one, and attempts are being made by the white and Negro labo og classes to solve this problem in spite of the interference of the capitals.
At the end of Mr. Patterson'slk, an open forum was held durg which several interesting qu-ions were discussed relative to he feasibility of new economic orders.

"Feel Like New"
"About three years ago. I found I needed a good laxative. I would wake up in the mornings feeling so tired I did not feel equal to the day's work in my home. I would have a bad taste in my mouth, and feel so dull and stupid. I thought it must be from constipation. I read about Black-Draught and decided to try it. I have never regretted doing so, for it gave me relief and I felt better after using it. I have used it at intervals ever since, and have found it very satisfactory. Just yesterday I felt so tired and dull. I took a dose of Black-Draught, and this morning I feel like new." —Mrs. C. Lee Davis, Anderson, S. C.

(Continued from page 8) pense of American standards of living, thus increasing the income upon the wealth of the rich.
It is an old story repeated in every age and every Empire.
Taxes Halt Marriages Under the Empire, Rome, like America today, but but one anxiety, and that was taxes. Marriage became infrequent; agriculture was juined and the hope of future generations was intercepted. Then s now, a strong neaurocracy was developed to carry out the plans of the wealthy. Young men were recruited into paid police, the ultimate expression of Force, and this Beaurocracy, then as now, advanced men adapted to its needs.
The clamor for organization of government departments, is planned to allow the selection of men favorable to the enforcement of rules and regulations that shall take away from the people what little control they now exercise over their own affairs.
Every nation in the world, ancient and modern has been secured and made by the sacrifices of men who gave their lives and their 'abors for its progress, only to see it pass later into the hands of the wealthy who had come in at its period of great wealth and prosperity and made it theirs by laws which they cunningly led the people into enacting to their ultimate sorrow and distress.
Wealth in all ages has destroyed the Family As A Unit, as it is doing in America. The women see a few of their kind living in luxury, and disrupt the family under a false hope to do likewise. Marriage in Rome became a business con act, and even became an institution as it is becoming in America, only respected by the poor and the imaginative.
Women seek freedom.
With wealth, the female, became as strong as the male, and sought Emancipation. Easy divorce laws accepted payment in place of the contract, the double standard for lenis that men went into slavery and, when America was being settled, many colonists were shipped men and women follows; her presence in legislative circles and counsels is next, and, political privilege.
Then as now, the imaginative men, born to a few women who remained what women had been from the dawn of creation, became wandering bands of thieves and robbers, gangsters, operating along military lines, who had become obsolete except for conquest when greater wealth was sought from the hands of some possessor.
Coming down to 1547, when Edward VI was crowned, unemployment had been forced to such here to get rid of them at home. Indentured servants and white slaves were numerus prior to the American revolution. 3y 1688, the commercial adventurers had conquered the kingdom, and their rule of the modern greatest empire but repeats the history of old Rome. It has been said that "Nothing so portentous hangs over civilization as this mysterious and relentless acceleration of movement, which changes methods of competition and alters paths of trade; for by it countless millions of men and women are foredoomed to happiness or misery, as certainly as beasts and trees which have flourished in the wilderness are" tined to vanish as the soil is subdued by man."
The automobile, radio, and airplane, here in America to-day, are only quickening such a movement which has all the earmarks of what has happened in every age of the world and every State of society. Pomp and power have passed on the departments of the War. State and Navy into that of Commerce, and the wealth of the people is .concreted into temples erected from material owned by the mines, qurries, factories and machines of the already rich. They also own the securities behind the money borrowed to build those temples which the mas es may admire, but the farmer becomes poo er and his children are sucked into wage slavery in the cities where paid police prevent expression of disapproval of the order of the da

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The ward plan won a sweeping victory last week with a majority of almost two to one. The vote for the ward plan was 1,819, and for the at large plan, 927. Under the plan adopted by the voters of the city every ward in the city will have a representative in the city council beginning September 1, next. For the past ten years the city manager plan of operation became effective, the city council has been composed of five members who were chosen at large. In former years Alexandria operated a board of aldermen and common council.
A Democratic primary was held Tuesday, for the purpose of nominating six members of the city council, one from each of the six wards of the city. Three of the present members of the council may continue to serve until 1934, which is the year their terms expire.
In 1934 all nine members of the city council will come up for election and three are to be chosen at large and six by wards. This means that the three chosen at large will be voted on in each ward of the city. The one receiving the highest number of votes of the three chosen at large will become mayor of the city.
The state corporation commission entered an order for the discontinuance of services on the trolley line operating between this city and Arlington Junction, effective April 10. The road is known as the Mount Vernon, Washington; and Alexandria Trolley line; R. L. May, owner of the line stated that the last train over the line will be the night of April 9. The line has been in operation about thirty-five years, and at one time extended as far as Mount Vernon. All transportation now between here and Washington except for infrequent steam trains and boat service, will be made by bus after the night of April 9.
The public schools of this city were closed Monday afternoon out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Bowton, wife of the superintendent of schools, R. C. Bowton, who died Sunday and whose funeral was held Monday afternoon.
Parker-Gray School presents the Dances of Washington's Time in the School Auditorium Friday, April 15 at 8 p.m. Classes from all the grades will take part in the program.

MARLENE DIETRICH IN "SHANGHAI EXPRESS AT BOOKER-T
Marlene Dietrich, the blond and glamorous star of romantic roles, with the deep blue, mysterious eyes, is now "Shanghai Lily" the white flower of the China-coast. She is a girl of radiant beauty, tantalizing, and seductive.
It had taken many men to give her the name of Shanghai Lily. Her reputation was a byword. Many men had loved her, yet only one, Clive Brook, had been loved in return. Years before they met and parted. They meet again aboard the "Shanghai Express," part of a strange cargo of happiness and sorrow, intrigue and danger.
The story of "Shanghai Express" combines those basic elements of entertainment romance, humor, suspense and swift action. It begins with the "Shanghai Express" leaving Pekin with a heterogeneous collection of characters aboard, ready for a desperate attempt to run through rebel gun fire. It ends with their arrival in Shanghai after experiencing adventures both harrowing and humorous, romantic and pathetic. This picture will play the Booker T. Theatre for one week only, beginning Friday, April 8.
"Winner Fake All" at First National used 700 extras, on Monday night, in a fight scene. Dynamite Jackson and other noted boxers have been working in this. Muse has a featured part as Rosebud, trainer of Jas. Cagney in this new film also, and is at present away on location.

'PLAY GIRL' STARTS 'AFTER TOMORROW' FRIDAY AT THE CHARLE'S FARRELL, REPUBLIC THEATRE OPENS AT LINCOLN
Could the sin that wrecked her marriage save her baby's life? You'll find the answer to this and many more vital questions in "Play Girl," a picture that exposes the secret places of a woman's heart. "Play Girl" will be shown at the Republic Theatre for seven days, starting Friday, April 8, and ending Thursday, April 14. "Play Girl" is life itself, the drama of a girl who could take care of herself—but didn't. She wanted love in the worst way...and she got it. Maybe "Play Girl" was bad, but you'll cheer her, weep with her, and love her. "Play Girl" is from an original story by Maurine Watkins, author of "Chicago." It is a brilliant example of the fact that only women authors get really stabbing heart appeal into stories about women. Another example was Vina Delmar's "Bad Girl."
Loretta Young, beautiful young screen favorite who scored recently in "Taxi," and "The Hatcher Man," has the leading role in "Play Girl." Others in the cast are Winnie Lightner, Norman Foster, Guy Kibbe, and Dorothy Burgess.
"After Tomorrow," with Charles Farrell is one of those simple, realistic and vividly human stories, at the telling of which Borzage is a master, and is said by those critics who have already viewed it on the screen to rank with those other two masterpieces of Borzage, "7th Heaven" and "Bad Girl." In the leading role of this picture will be seen Charles Farrell and Marion Nixon, as boy and girl sweethearts, and as their mothers, who are presented so humanly that you will be sure to recognize the type, Ninna Gombell and Josephine Hull. The other important members of the cast are William Collier, Sr., William Pawley, Greta Grandstedt, Ferdinand Munier, and Nora Lane.
The story is based upon the sensational stage success of John Golden and Hugh Stange, and was directed by Frank Borzage, the man who made "7th Heaven," and "Bad Girl." This picture will run until Monday. Tuesday to Thursday, "No One Man" will appear on the screen.
man will appear on the screen.
A rare combination of the successful actor who is also a successful business man, is that held by Ricordo Cortez, who will appear as the principal conquest of Carol Lombard, the insatiable "Nep" in the Paramount screening of Rupert Hughes' novel, "No One Man", which begins a three-day engagement at the Lincoln, Tuesday.
This is a new kind of story done in the modern manner, relating the loves of a typical daughter of today, who endeavors to solve the matrimonial problems, Settings, chiefly those of New York City and Palm Beach, are lavish.
'Dr. JEKYLL & Mr. HYDE' AT BROADWAY
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the greatest of all dramatic mystery thrillers, will open at the Broadway Theatre for a three-day run. Here is drama that has stood the test of forty years, thrilled millions who saw and marveled, enlisted the prize talent of a century in its portrayal, and which will still be a living drama a thousand years hence. It is a great moral story and will never die. And, though it runs the golden thread of romance, dreadfully tarnished by an illicit love. Frederic March, in the title role, gives a great dynamic punch to his Jekyll-Hyde characterization. Hiriam Hopkins, golden-haired Miriam, now plays her strongest, most gripping role as the Cockney street-girl friend of March's Mr. Hyde.
Al Corporal, Eddie Goff, Virgil Owens, Richard Mann, J. Washington and "Your's Truly" worked as red-caps on the set built for "Union Depot." Washington and I doubled also into the Fairbanks picture necessitating work until away into the night.

MR. CHOLS SAYS
T
Dear Mr. Chols, you are so wise, maybe you can answer this—"Why was Mr. Louis Lautier kept waiting downstairs the other night when he went to call on a certain young lady?" Dear boy, I guess if the good Louie was made to wait downstairs the elevator was broke, or if there ain't no elevator maybe there was someone else up there. But I am sure they were not chewing on Louie. No, No, No, He's too good.
No stuff, folks, the Madillion-aires' dance held at the Murray Casino Friday, April 1, was the locks. The hall was beautifully decorated in blue and gold, and also large gold balloons monogramed in blue. Refreshments were served and the lyrics were furnished by Bill Baldwin, and he did play—and how! Everybody had a stomping good time. The mystery of the dance was the little girl in red. Won't somebody write in and tell us who she is, or am, or was, Oh, yes, and Mr. Chols sang that beautiful waltz "When You Come to the End of the Day."
A gorgeous creature was the girl in red.
Kid Leak's wife says he is a big ham, but she is his sugar and she can cure him. Now ain't that sumpin!
And just as the band played "Take all of me" Marshall was about to take all of her and in walked Mrs. Marshall. Nuf sed.
Did you know that the Mediterranean and the Red Sea are connected by the "sewage" canal; and that a modern range is a cook stove used at high altitudes; and because mushrooms grow in damp places is why they look like umbrellas; and that the best way to keep milk from turning is to leave it in the cow; and that Habeas Corpus means bring in the body; and that many people are put to death by electrocution; and that the process of turning cream into water again is called conservation?

BARON LEE WITH BLUERHYTHM BAND AT THE HOWARD
Mill's Blue Rythm Band, direct from the Cotton Club, led by Baron Lee, known as Harlem's Monacled Monarch of Melody, and featuring Edgar Hayes at the piano, comes to the Howard, Saturday, at the head of a company of forty other entertainers.
Mill's Blue Rythm Band has won itself an enviable reputation in its class. It plays all kinds of music just as successfully as it plays "hot" numbers. This band has the distinction of being chosen as the successor of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway at the Cotton Club. Audiences at the Palace Theatre, New York, during their recent engagement there, actually stopped the show by their demand for encores.
Baron Lee is an accomplished singer and dancer, and appeared in vaudeville before becoming an orchestra leader.
"Rhapsody in Blue" will always be linked with the name Paul Whiteman, and one never thinks of Duke Ellington without recalling "Mood Indigo," or Cab Calloway without a reminiscent smile for that hilarious song of his "Minnie the Moocher."
"Star Dust," one of the outstanding musical hits of the current sea- will be inseparately identified with Baron Lee and his Blue Rhythm Band in the minds of those who hear this celebrated orchestra during its engagement at the Howard.
The screen feature supplementing the stage show is "A Private Scandald, co-starring Marion Nixon and Lloyd Hughes.
Midnight shows are scheduled for Tuesday and Friday.

TEN PERSONS HELD
FOR HOLDING MEET.
ING IN SRTEET
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.— The
trial ot fifteen Negro and white
workers arrested for attempting
‘to hold a Scottsboro protest meet-
ing here on the night of March
81 took place April 2 before Judge
Fleming. ‘The defendants were
charged with vagrancy, loitering,
disorderly conduct and blocking
the street.
It was brought out in the testi-
mony that the meeting had not
‘started when two carloads of po-
lice, accompanied by Judge Flem-
ing who presided at the trial, and
Police Captain Perkins, surround-
ed the group that was just begin-
ning to collect to listen to the
speakers. The police drew rifles
and pistols on the crowd and herd-
ed fifteen of them into one patrol
wagon. Some workers ran from
the scene and others who were ar-
viving late turned back, All the
defendants testified that there was
no disorderly conduct, that the
street on which the eee was
to be held was just a dirt road run-
ning across a street car track and
practically useless for traffic.
All charges were dismissed ex-
cept the charge of blocking the
street. Sam Borenstein, “fr. and
‘Mrs. Boynton, Perry Hill and Al-
Jon Wilson were dismissed. Jane
‘Dillon, W. H. Duncan, te
Robinson, Holt, Hurston, Starr,
‘Williams, Morrison and Tom and
John Montgomery were fined $50
each for “blocking the street.”
‘They are appealing the decision to
‘the County Court,
Commenting on the trial, Jane
Dillon, ary of the Southeren
District of the International Labor
Defense, said the following:
“The charge of blocking the
street is just an effort to stop the
fight of the International Labor
Defense for the freedom of the
SeottsLoro boys. Had the Salvation
Army or the American Legion or
even the American Fascisti been
holding a meeting at the same
place and time, no effort would
have been made to stop them, even
if their audience had consisted of
thousands. We will continue to
maintain our right to conduct or-
es meetings on the streets of
Chattanooga.
_ “Much was made by the officers
who prosecuted us of the fact that,
I, a white woman, was ‘huddled to-
gether with a crowd of Negroes at
this meeting. We were no more
‘huddled’ than Negroes and whites
jare ‘huddled’ together on the soup
lines,’ When the police arrested us
fom piled all fifteen into one pa-
trol, not all concerned about up-
pei, 2 ag Jim Crow law in this
case, This attempt to keep the
workers apart by injecting false
issues of racial division will not
keep them divided in their fight for
the release of the Scottsboro boys,
in oe fight Cras the present
unemployment and wage-cutting
whieh te affecting ail” workers
alike.
“We were particularly intersted
in the ruling made by Judge Flem-
ing on the distribution of radical
literature when he stated that,
‘much to his regret’, this litera-
ture is permitted to go through the
United States mails «nd therefore
anyone selling or distributing it
cannot be prosecuted.”

! Issued Pamphlet
| Because of the demand for con-
‘cise information concerning the
vocational education program, car.
ried on in the public sehools of
the various States, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education
has issued a question and answer
pamphlet on this subject and on
the subject of vocational rehabils
itation, which is available for free
distribution to anyone desiring a
copy.
What Is It?
What is vocational education,
what is vocational rehabilitation,
how may one secure specific infor®
mation in regard to tHe voeational
education and the vocational reha-
bilitation program, what opportun-
ities are offered in trade and indus-
trial education for women and
girls, what is the purpose of voca-
onal ‘education in agriculture,
trade and industry, and home eco-
nomics, who may benefit under the
national vocational rehabilitation
program—these and ae other
qyestins are answered in the pam-
phlet published by the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
It is shown in the pamphlet, for
instance, that over 1,126,000 boys
and girls, men, and women, were
last year learning to farm better,
to be good mechanics, and to be
good homemakers.
“Vocational Education and Yo-
cational Rehabilitation” is the title
of this pamphlet, which may be ob-
tained by addressing the Federal
Board for Vocational Eduaation,
Washington, D. C.
CRACKS ON NEGRO
BUSINESS . MEN
Wilmer F, Lucas, the first Ne-
gro in the State of New York to
become a Certified Public Account-
ant, takes a crack at Negro, busi
ness men and their methods in the
April number of Opportunity
Magazine, Mr. Lucas, in an_arti-
cle entitled “Educating the Negro
for Business — An investment
Loss?, says:—
“To the leaders of Negro busi-
ness the opportunity of engaging
and encouraging Negro profession.
al business service is a matter still
too premature for consideration.
Inquiries have reveale? that such
opportunities are often forgotten
because of the influence of associa-
tions of long standing with white
firms of hire. These contacts are
frequently admitted to be main-
tained as a matter of old and con-
fidential friendships. In such in-
stances there is little argument for
change excepting where racial
pride overrules any existing per-
sonal and confidential appeal, A
regrettable circumstance: | arises,
however, when Negro business
men, ignoring the economies _of
more. moderate cost, pertient and
necessary to the welfare of the or-
ganization and ther racial develop-
ment, permit their businesses to Ye
serviced by white firms to the point
of bankruptcy. We have but to
deive into the conditions leading to
th. present predicament of one of
our large persona’ service cor-
porations to 6nd them in part the
victim ot their own lack of busi-
ness foresight and judgement in
‘this respect.”

“Manufacturers by their long
and continued neglect of the Ne-
gro baying public in their adver:
fising and sales campaigns are neg-
lecting one of the best market ou
lets for soaps and household clean-
ing preparations,” J. A. Jackson,
business specialist in the market-
ing service division of, the depart-
ment of commerce, declared re-
cently in an interview with the
Washington representative of Soap.
Jackson, in elaborating on this
striking statement, said that he be-
Tieved that Negroes buy 35 per cent
of all the soap in the United States.
He said that about 40 per cent of
the race is employed as domestic
servants of some kind. In the
average sized city and town, a
large proportion of the household
servants, cooks, chauffeurs, maids,
nurses, are Negroes. Except in
the extreme North and West, a
| phead @eal of the household laun-
lerering is dong by Negro women.
Hotels, cafeterias, restaurants,
clubs and apartment houses em-
ploy Negro chefs, dishwashers,
Porters, waiters and chambermaids,
lost of these workers, Jackson
said, have to use a great amount
of soap and cleansing preparations
in the performance of their tasks.
The Negro cooks and maids re-
quire soap to wash dishes, to serub
floors and to clean the woodwork.
“Almost always the purchase of
the soap or cleaning preparations
is left to the servants,” Jackson
said. “In the case of hotels, res-
taurants, large apartment houses
and business offices where the buy-
ing is done through an office, a
recommendation from the head
porter, maid or scrub woman re-
salts tn the buying of a particular
brand of product for the cleaning
operations.”
“As far as I know, no soap man-
ufacturer is advertising in the 126
Negro. newspapers or the 30 or
more Negro magazinos, A great
field of customers is being over-
looked through this neglect of the
race publications, Almost every
Negro family, especially in the
larger towns and cities, takes one
or more of these publications. Of-
ten the racial periddicals are the
only ones that are persed care-
fully, for they are naturally de-
voted to the things that interest
Negroes.”
Jackson said that Negro fairs,
food shows, carnivals of various
kinds and similar exhibits also of-
fer an excellent, advertising med-
ium for 80 jucts, For in-
stanze, ‘North Gazalina is to have
seventeen Negro fairs this year.
There “are to be about 125 alto-
ether, in the south this year. The
lored Merchants Association,
which controls 254 grocery stores
in ten cities in New York, North
‘Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama,
‘South Carolina and other states is
‘planning to laynch a series of food
shows in its stores early this fall.
‘The first one will be held in New
York City. Dr. Julius Klein, as-
sistant secretary of the depart-
ment of commerce, is scheduled to
be the principal ‘speaker at the
New York show,

Harry Parker, Washington
Boy Star Of U. of Pitt
Glee Club
PITTSBURGH. — Music, critics
highly praised Harry Parker, on-
ly Negro member of the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh Men's Glee Club,
following the annual home concert
of the club at Carnegie Hall, Fri-
day evening. ‘The program’ was
oroadeast over Station. WWSW.
Dr. W. H. Wright, conductor,
wrote a spiritual for Parker, which
went over big. Parker is a’ Wash-
ington boy and graduated from
Dunbar High School.
Harry Gaul, of the, Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, had the following to
say: “Several things. stopped the
show, and the first was Harry Par-
ker, Negro baritone (really sec-
ond tenor), in Dr, Wright's effec-
tive arrangement of that grand
spiritual “What.a Gittin’ Up Maw-
nin’.” A sweet voice, this. Parker
lad, and we hope to hear him of-
ten. Indibitably: “racial “he was
quite’ glorious.”
Ralph Lewands, of the. Pitts-
burgh: Press, commented as_fol-
lows: “In. the ‘impressive spiritual,
“When Gabriel Blows His Horn,”
arranged by Dr. Wright, a son of
the expressive dusky race—Harry
Parker—sang the baritone solo
with ‘the chorus in a manner that
earned a. recall.”
J. Fred Lissfelf, in the Pitts:
burgh Sun-Telegraph, wrote as fol-
lows: “Reaper's Song’ was an
exception and the Negro hymn,
‘When Gabriel Blows His Horn,
as well, in which Harry Parker,
baritone: soloist, sang with.a real
sincere feeling for the setting and
the music”
in Saturday the club sang over
Station KDKA, when Parker re-
peated his number.

GEORGE SCHUYLER AND J. A. JACKSON SPEAK HERE
GEORGE SCHUYLER AND J. A. JACKSON SPEAK HERE
George Schuyler, president of the Young Negroes' Co-operative League, spoke here Sunday before the national meeting of the league. He stressed the lack of an economic underfanding of the present day Negro and said it was far more important to know how to manufacture knives and forks than just how to use them. He reviewed the co-operative movement in Europe and outlined the possibilities for economic advancement of the Negroes of the United States through co-operation. Mr. Schuyler stated that there are 15 units or councils of the Y.N.C.L., and that there is favorable prospects of 15 more being organized real soon.
The Y.N.C.L. has opened stores in New York City, Brooklyn, and Buffalo. The Buffalo store is the outstanding unit so far. J. A. Jackson, of the commerce department, gave interesting statistics in his address concerning the purchasing power of the Negro, and especially the part colored women play in commercial purchases. The meeting was held at Garnet-Patterson School. J. A. G. LuValle delivered the welcome address.

PROFESSOR LOCKED IN

along with Mr. Thompson. Dr. Shonan was charged with "insubordination." Dr. Shohan nor Mr. Thompson would make a statement to the Tribune this week.
To Support Dean
Prof. Bunche said Dr. Johnson would no doubt support the recommendation made by Dr. Davis as it was invariable the policy to support the deans of colleges. However, both men will have an opportunity to appear before the trustees on Tuesday.
According to a stenographic report of the conversation between Mr. Thompson and Prof. Bunche at no time did Prof. Bunche seek to make a compromise. The report which was seen by this reporter reveals that Mr. Thompson was the one that preferred not to jeopardize his job by bringing the matter in the open. According to the conversation Mr. Thompson did not take a police to the apartment to force an entrance when he thought his wife was locked in with Prof. Julian, nor has he taken court action. It is rumored that Mrs. Thompson is planning to enter proceedings against her husband. "Publicity will be hard on Anna," said Mr. Thompson in his conversation. Prof. Bunche issued the following statement to the Tribune, on Thursday morning:
"In the April 9th edition of the Afro-American on page 1 there appears a photostatic copy of four statements alleged to be a 'compromise' offered to Mr. Robert B. Thompson, Jr., under the conditions of which he was to drop certain charges against a member of the faculty of Howard University. The paragraphs are printed with no signed statement of explanation by Mr. Thompson. The imputation is clear, however, and I feel that in the interest of the University some statement is due.
"On page 20 of the same edition of the Afro-American there is printed a statement which I gave to the Washington correspondent of the Afro-American upon request after a conversation with the editor of that paper by telephone. However, this statement of explanation is so far removed physically from the printed paragraphs that I feel its intended effect is considerably diminished.
"On November 9, 1931, at 2:30 p.m., in my office, I held a conference with Mr. Robert B. Thompson 'concerning a signed statement which he had submitted preferring certain changes against another member of the university staff. On Wednesday morning, April 6, I was visited in my office by the Washington correspondent of the Afro-American and was told that an 'affidavit' had been submitted by Mr. Thompson accompanying a document purporting to be an agreement or 'compromise' offered by me to Mr. Thompson. At this time I had not seen this document and did not see it until it was printed in the April 9th edition of the Afro-American, on the front page. I was informed, however, of its substance. Some weeks ago, significantly or not, I was advised by seemingly reliable sources that this 'document,' or a copy thereof, was in the hands of Judge Cobb of the Howard University Law School and that it was scheduled to be printed along with certain other material in a forthcoming edition of the Afro-American 'as per contract.'
"In the interest of the university I feel it my duty to say that I have in my possession a complete stenographic record of my conference with Mr. Thompson on November 9th, a copy of which was seen by the correspondent of the Afro-American and the correspondent of the Washington Tribune. This record establishes the fact beyond question that no compromise was either proposed or agreed to by me. It further establishes the fact that the substance of the document submitted by Mr. Thompson is merely a summary of the statements and proposals made by Mr. Thompson himself in the conference of November 9th. The purpose of this conference was to hear what Mr. Thompson had to say in support of the charges which he has addressed to the trustees. In this conference Mr. Thompson almost immediately brought up the question of security. I am ready to admit that because of this fact I entertained some doubt as to the sincerity of his charges.
"I deeply regret the necessity of making any statement which will in any way reflect upon Mr Thompson, but feel that the reputation and integrity of the university must be preserved against any and all attempts to create false and injurious impressions. Any implication that the administration of Howard University offered a 'compromise' proposal in this matter is a false and apparently malicious misrepresentation.
"RALPH BUNCHE, Secretary to the President."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. APRIL 8. 1932
GEORGE GARNER AND FISK JUBILEE SINGERS, FRIDAY
A Bicentennial musical will be rendered by the world famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; George Garner, international favorite tenor, of Chicago, Ill.; and Warner Lawson, of Tennessee, America's most talented young Negro pianist, on Friday evening, April 15, in the Washington Auditorium, Nineteenth and E streets, northwest.
The entertainment, given as the Negro's musical contribution to the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration, will be under the auspices of the National Memorial Association, in co-operation with the United States and District of Columbia Bicentennial Commissions for the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington. The auditorium is to be especially and artistically decorated, in keeping with the Bicentennial celebration.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers represents one of the oldest and best known colleges for the education of Negro youth. They are a concert organization with a long record of success in this country and in Europe. Though the personnel of the group must of necessity change every few seasons, the organization has a continuous history of sixty years.
It is less than five years since the present Fisk Singers packed the Salle Gaveau in Paris as no one but Caruso ever did. They sang command performance for the King and Queen of England. Lady Astor, Ambassador Herrick, Poincare, Clemenceau, Eva Gauthier, Rabaud, Premier Mussolini, and Ambassador Fletcher, were their patrons.
Mrs. James A. Myers, the director of the Singers, has been with them since 1915. It is largely due to her continuous leadership that individual singers may come and go, but the quality of the singing is not lowered. She has sung with them on two of their European tours, the only woman, calling forth the comment from a French critic that "the hidden intervention of the woman's contralto voice must unite and harmonize the male quartet in a way that organ makers must do."
Ludie Collins has a bass voice that has also been compared often with a great organ's tone. Deep, true, warm, it runs through the ensemble like a noble accompaniment. Mr. Collins has a number of delightful solos in his reportoire. Miss Anna Goodwin has a high, sweet soprano voice that is best heard in a plaintive incidental solo, such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," from which the group catch the right feeling. Her voice fits especially well with the exquisite tenors of Luther King and Jerome Wright, two others of the group's soloists.
The Fisk Singers are appearing jointly with George Garner, tenor, of Chicago, under the auspices of the National Memorial Association.

For they can't do it. They only move the thimbles and the movement doesn't get at the cause. The resentment down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
It should flow out slowly, flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas blasts up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. You down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
It takes these good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you down and up. They contain wonderful, harming bacteria, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.

BALTIMORE PAPER
association which doesn't largely in cocoa, 75 per cent of which is grown on the Gold Coast. The bank was established in order to furnish credit and other banking facilities to native producers of cocoa, who prior to its establishment had found it difficult to secure funds for financing the shipment of their product to New York, where most of the cocoa is purchased from the two white British banks on the Gold Coast. Under the plan made by Messrs. Ansah and Craft, native merchants would be able through their cooperate association to deal directly with the consumer of the cocoa and thus prevent a series of exploitations on the part of British Whites.
The band was a registered British Corporation with a half million dollar capital. Its principal office was in Lagos, Nigeria, and a branch office was maintained in New York City. Prior to the publication of the Afro-American article it is purported to have grown rapidly, and plans were maturing for its wider use as a clearing house for native producers of cocoa and other African products.

Threc Routes Planned Arrive For Olympics Before Convention
Preparations for the meeting of the National Medical Association in Los Angeles, August 15-18, have been practically completed. There is every evidence that the program to be presented will contain many features of unusual scientific interest. Arrangements have been made for the arrival of the southern and eastern delegates on Friday. This will allow those who are interested to see some of the finals of the Olympic games, and will also afford a splendid opportunity for visiting Catalina Island and other points of interest in and around Los Angeles. This arrangement has been made in order that the whole time of the delegates during the convention may be devoted to attendance at the scientific sessions and clinics.
The Committee on Local Program has planned to have several of the visiting delegates to appear for talks at many of the Los Angeles churches.
The first meeting of the Convention will be held on Monday

morning, when the National Association of Medical Examiners will hold their initial session. This will be followed in the afternoon by the meeting of the National Hospital Association. The programs for both these organizations will be helpful and constructive. Many of the leading figures in the insurance world, and many hospital executives and representatives from foundations interested in Negro hospitalization will be present at these meetings. The formal opening of the Convention will take place on Tuesday morning, when Dr. Peter Marshall, New York, president of the N.M.A., will deliver his annual address.
On Monday evening, prior to the opening of the Convention, there will be a public meeting, at which time it is expected that Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of Interior, will be the chief speaker. Tuesday afternoon, and Thursday afternoon will be devoted to the recondition and discussion of papers on medicine surgery, dentistry and pharmacy. The entire day, Wednesday will be devoted to clinics, which will be held in three of the leading hospitals of Los Angeles.
On Thursday morning a program will be presented by representatives from the White House Conference on Child Birth and Protection. These speakers have been personally designated by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, under whose department the White House Conference was held. For this meeting Dr. William Palmer Lucas will present the findings and recommendations of the Committee on Medical Care for Children, Dr Fabey will discuss "Growth and Development," and Dr. Lynch, "Pre-Natal and Maternal Care." Friday morning will be spent at Olive View Sanatorium, where there will be extensive clinics on tuberculosis.
Dr. Isadore C. Mitchell, who represented the California Medical Association, and invited the National Medical Association to Los Angeles, has arranged to have extensive dental and pharmaceutical clinics at the University of California; and several representatives from the faculty of that institution, together with outstanding men in these two professions, will take part on the program. Dr. R. C. Brown, of the Department of Public Health, will have charge of the public health meetings. It is planned to have two of these meetings, at which some phases of the White House Conference deliberations will be presented.
Exceptional transportation facilities have been arranged for this meeting. The official route will begin at Philadelphia, from which point the delegates will leave Sunday, August 7. This party will include in its trip Atlanta, Mobile, New Orleans, and Houston. At the two last named places clinics will be held, as well as public health meetings. It is planned to include in this group all of the men from the eastern section of the country, and from the south.
For those who will travel from the middle west, an elaborate trip has been planned under the direction of the Powers Tours. This party will leave Chicago Tuesday, August 9, and will pass through St. Louis and Dallas, Texas, Passing through New Mexico, a stop will be made at Carlsbad Caverns, which has been designated as the eighth wonder of the world. Then passing through Jaurez, Mexico, the trip will continue through Arizona, and then to Los Angeles, where the party will arrive Sunday, August 14.
The Transportation Committee, realizing that there might be some who would not care to take the southernni trip, arranged an optional route. This party will leave Chicago Saturday, August, 6, and will follow the route to Los Angeles, through Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City, which is the same route that the other two parties will travel on the return trip. In this optional route, the party will leave Los Angeles, go to San Francisco, then to Portland, Oregon; Seattle and Spokane, Washington; then through Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs, Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Minneapolis, to Chicago.
It is realized that this is a trip that most people have planned as one of the great events of a life time, and every effort has been made by the officials of the N.M.A. so to arrange each route, that those who take it will get the most in the way of enjoyment and comfort.

Rev. W. Frederic Fisher, Evangelist and his Gospel party are now in the tenth week of the revival at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church t Fourteenth and Cocoran streets.
Rev. Fisher and party came to J Wesley to remain for two weeks and have carried on the longest revival on record in this church, and without the interest lagging, good crowds have greeted then at each service.
All plans were made and the announcement made the revival was to close on last Wednesday night, but owing to the demands of the people the meeting could not close at that time.
Noon meetings have been held daily and on Wednesday the church has been feeding the unemployed, during this meeting over 1,000 people have been fed, and this without any solicitation, or backing from any organization. Great spiritual manifestation can be heard everywhere, as Rev. Fisher lays down the bombardment against sin and evil, high and low, without fear or discrimination to creeds, isms or cults. Laymon T. Hunter, of Waterbury Conn., the music director is learing the song service each night with a large chorus from many of the churches of the city, while Vernon Orme assists with the violin.

WILLOUGHBY WINS ORATORICAL PRIZE AT ARMSTRONG
To an enthusiastic audience on Tuesday, April 5, Lenward Earl Willoughby delivered the oration which won him a check for one hundred dollars in the Ninth National Oratorical Contest held in the additorium of the Armstrong High School. His speech, "Who is Who at the Constitutional Convention," was rendered in a clear voice which carried its tone well. It centered around the men who helped make the Constitution famous.
Lenward Willoughby is the son of Mrs. Hester and Mr. Woodard Willoughby and resides at 1715 Eighth street, northwest. He is seventeen years of age. He came to Armstrong from the Shaw Junior High School, and was an honor student there. He expects to graduate in the class of 1933.
When asked how he felt about winning the contest, Lenward replied, "It is indeed a pleasure to know I have won the oratorical contest at Armstrong. I want to thank all of the teachers for their help which enabled me to win this contest. As a representative of Armstrong I shall go out among representatives of the other high schools and try to bring back honors to my school."
Mr. J. B. Hunter, chairman, presided at the program. It opened with the singing of America by the entire school. The first orator on the program was Williemae Carson, whose subject was "The Citizen; His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution." In order followed Gilbert Edward Watson, "The Struggle for American Democracy;" and Mamie Bell, "Roosevelt and Law Enforcement." A special chorus sang "Our Country" by Dett, following the first three orations.
Next came James Mayo, "The Citizen: His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution." Following this, Cynthia Slaughter, who won second place, "What We Owe to the Constitution," and lastly the winning orator, Lenward Willoughby, "Who Is Who at the Constitutional Convention?"
While awaiting the announcement of the winner, the special chorus rendered two numbers, "Were You There?" and "The Viking Song." A sign with the words "Liberty, Justice, for All," behind which shown red, white, and blue lights, in their respective order and from which an American flag hung were the stage decorations.

GOOD READING IN ARMSTRONG TORCH
The current issue of The Armstrong Torch, published as a project of the class in journalism I at Armstrong High School, offers several worthwhile articles.
"Too Boisterous," an editorial follows:
"Society is in the nature of a compact; 'Let us have peace.' There is no occasion for such a volume of noise from uncontrolled voices as is commonly heard when we are in groups. Being closer together calls for restraints of all kinds; that is all that civilization really means.
"This boisterousness is a thing of the past, and its occurrence proves our failure to be alive and alert to the call of the new day. Education calls for a show of social conduct as a by-product, like character; there are or ought to be results of contact with things that have taken our time and attention.
"Disturbances arouse complaint and create public opinion against us, and public opinion is behind all law in a democracy.
"Let us not kill ourselves by restraint as the Puritans did, but let us refine our conversational tones down to a more harmonious key, and watch prejudice die for want of nourishment.
"I will be heard' is all O. K. when the time comes to challenge some wrong or abuse, but no one can hear the boisterous fellow who beats the ears so that he smothers the sense of what he says.
"Even the Loud-speaker has to be tuned down to enjoy the song or understand the broadcast. Come on now, less static and more music!"
Another interesting item under the caption of "Bicentennial Passes On." by Alberta Morton ends with Miss Morton making the following comments relative to the opening program held on the Capitol steps on February 22:
"Whites seated; colored not. Whites disorderly; colored not. Whites and colored separated physically and on the program. Colored congratulated on behavior, by prominent people on the platform. Position of Mr. Damrsch not visible by colored. Broadcast of WRC stopped before colored sang. Whites failed to keep time with the music. Colored group not represented on the Bi Commission. WJSZ announcer called colored cavalrymen "Black Boys.""
The staff consists of Dorothy Fagan and Evelyn Green, managing editors; Reuben Scarborough and Robert Martin, assistant editors; Rhudine Gary and Lawrence
Burgess, business managers; Ruth Boyer, Juanita Barner, and Ruth Barnett, assistants; Cynthia Slaughter and Mildred Holland, reporters; Wilson and Webb, sports; and Joseph Watkins, typography. The paper is supervised by Prof. Charles A. Thomas.

O my many friends and to those who are acquainted with this wonderful development in our Nation's Capital of DePriest Village:
I am taking this opportunity to verify that DePriest Village is a City of Mansions.
I, the pioneer salesman of the Capital View Realty Company, will call for you and show you DePriest Village. Just call Atlantic 0188 and let me explain how, you too, can live in this beautiful community.
Don't say you can't afford to live there until you have had it explained to you and you will be surprised. It is hard to believe that such a Village exists in the Nation's Capital for our racial group. This Village of Mansions, named after Congressman DePriest, is in keeping with its name. Rigid restrictions make this assured. The executive qualiualities of the community predominate. The architectural exterior and interior construction of these homes make them exceptionally desirable for home comfort and enjoyment of pleasing and well appointed surroundings.
With water, sewer, gas, sidewalks, electric lights and shade trees, it is impossible to find language that could express the superiority of this community.

Work Standards For Beauty
Parlors
trade union organization has
been recognized as an important
contributing factor toward stabili-
zation of the beauty-parlor busi-

sprung up whieh have brought
home to the employers the need of
work standards in the industry,
For the first time an association
of employees has been formed and
bas been negotiating an agreement
with the union which calls for a
48-hour week, closing time not later
than 9 o'clock, a minimum scale
of wages, pay for legal holidays,
and a strictly tnion shop.

Gertain simple theta ‘when purehas:
ing this popular beverage, says J.
W. Sele, of the Federal Food and
Drug Administration. The . pro-
duction of tomato juice and a num-
der of so-called ‘cocktails’ made
from it has increased amazingly in
the last year or two, and now there
are a score of firms offering these
products for sale.
“Playing upon the fact that the
American consumer is greatly con-
cerned about his vitamins, a fev
manufacturers have made absuri
claims concerning the vitamin con
tent of their tomato-juice product
says Mr. Sale. Statements such as
‘rich in vitamins’ or ‘contains all
the vitamins’ are considered bj
Federal food officigls as mislead
jog and, therefore illegal under thi
aw.
Neither tomato juice nor tomato:
Juice cocktajls contain all the vite.

the manufacturer, if he is to oper

to those particular vitamins whic
are actually present in significant
amounts. Fresh, ripe tomatoe:
contain vitamins’ A, B and. C, bu
the extent to which’ these vitamins
are present in the juice depends
upon the methods used in its prep-
aration.
“According to Mr. Slad, the Goy-
ernment. recently seized an inter.
state shipment of tomato juice
which was found to be shor

qquastity-of-contents statement, re
quired by law to be printed on *h

Srithout the addition of salt.” Sev-
eral brands of tomato juice manu-
factured this year were found to
be adulterated with water.
“The manufacturer has a perfect
right to add pure sugar to his to-
mato juice, says Mr, Sale, if he
declares the presence of this in-
gredient in a suitable manner upon
the label of the can or bottle. Some
tomato juice is filtered. The liquid,
then, eantaining no pulp, is of a
yellowish color. Federal food offi-

‘Japanese Study Shows Nite
Work For Women Harmful
Studies of the effect of night
work on women workers have re-
cently been made by two doctors
connected with the Japanese Insti-
tute for Science of Labor, T. Ishi-
kawa and. Yagi, In the spinning
and weaying industries of Japan
young women are employed of al
ternate weeks of day and night
work, and it was among these girls
that the studies were conducted.
‘The items of examination in Doe-
tor Ishikawa’s study were: body
temperature, body weight, rate of
pulse, and blood pressure,” The re-
sults ‘of his experiments indicated
that there was a greater decline of
the physical functions and & larg:
ex decrease in the ability for worl
and in the power of resisting dis-
ease, when the subject was em-
ployed on night, work than on day
work. Dr, Yagi found that night
work undeniably and with few ex-
ceptions decreases the body weight
of female workers. Whether the
cause of this loss of weight is in-
herent in might workaitself or due
to factors arising thérefrom such
s insufficient sleep and relaxation
and loss of appetite was undeter-
mined.. But the conclusions of
these two Japanese’scientists stand
as further evidence of the delecter-
joug, effects of night work on wo-
‘men workers.

THE SCRAP HEAP
The other day a young man in his early twenties walked into my office and vividly described his conditions by saying: "Doctor, I'm all in and about ready to go on the scrap heap." His statement was only too true as we soon found out when we began to take his history and give him a physical examination. I could not help but sigh as I thought how easily he might have avoided the scrap heap if only he had sought advice and examination a bit earlier. If he had come last year we might have saved him but, now it is too late, for he is surely headed for the scrap heap from which none return.
Of course the young will die and the old must die but I can never become reconciled to seeing so many of both young and old go to their graves before it is necessary. There is something always exceedingly tragic to me when I see young folks on the road to death who might have cheeked

their on-rush had they received careful examination and warning—and of course heeded it. Through almost every known publicity medium word is being sent out asking people to go to their physician at least once a year and have a complete physical examination. More and more are going but still the number is too few. If people would have the same regard for the welfare of their body as they have for the proper running of their motor cars much sickness would be prevented and many funerals postponed. How different! When your car wears out you can get a new one if you have the money. When your body wears out it does not matter how much you have, there is no place I know of where you can get another.
Tuberculosis which kills so many of our young folks, kills most between the years of fifteen and forty, the most productive and profitable time in one's life. I often wish I could line up folks and force them to have annual physical examinations but I cannot. But if I could I would as it would be better for both you and you physician, for we together surely could work out a plan to reduce the size of the scrap heap.

ONE MAN RULE
At this writing the boys in the Scottsboro case are doomed to die Friday, May 13. Two national organizations fought and wrangled over the privilege of collecting funds for the defense of the Scottsboro boys. Apparently, they both objected to one organization ruling. It looks as though all is lost. Money and the lives.
The largest race enterprise in the world is having difficulties at their headquarters in Washington, D. C. Undoubtedly, some of their business methods were wrong, but couldn't they have been corrected from within? No. two cliques were fighting each other and to gain control of the business was, apparently, the main object. Now both cliques are out. They could not agree on one clique ruling.
Down in Kilby Prison( incidentally, where the Scottsboro boys are) one small colored lad, weighing about ninety pounds, stabbed and killed the "bully" of the Alabama Chain Gang, who was so bad and so unruly that they made a "key-turner" out of him so that he could browbeat the other colored boys. His "one man rule" is ended but in this case my sympathies are all with the lad who objected to the "one man rule." In New York and Chicago, another group is objecting to a "one man rule." The czar in this instance is a financial one. From nothing he brought his own private business enterprises, on merit and efficient achievement, to a point

OPEN LETTER TO ELDER
MICHAUX
For quite some time now I have experienced degrees of amusement through occasional observations of your Sunday evening broadcasts. By this I make no implications, however, that this effort at first hand knowledge of your manifestations of spiritual cestacy is due to any particular interest I might have in such performances, but rather because of the well nigh impossibility of escaping the significance of your bombastic forays into the realm of things. humorous in the name of religion. Judging from the tenor of letters you read, of course, one would concede the unanimity of the radio preacher's popularity; the manifest stir of a staid populace by sacred comedy would be undisputable, and this comment would suggest contempt for religious fervor and devotion.
But quite apart from any ulterior consideration or any invidious distinction as a minister you might deduce from this critique. I take the position that not only are you not advancing the cause of Christianity, but you are doing both the church and your racial group incalculable injury. It may be fascinating to stand atthwart the foot lights of publicity as you have it, to exult in the evaluation of self as evidenced by the benevolence of a gullible constituency on the one hand and a contriving element on the other, but the price you and yours are paying is exorbitant to say the least. I have it that you accuse Negro professional folk who attend church profitseeking among the heep of the pasture, suggesting, for example, that undertakers go looking for corpses, lawyers for clients and doctors for patients. This kind of claptrap, of course, has a familiar ring and the tune has been played over and over again while earnings of unsuspecting people have been tapped and the mob maligns the intellect.
There is no point to the argument that Negro professional people go to church merely to seek patronage. The minister himself in this instance is not entirely without guilt. If there is any doubt about this, watch the frequency with which "the Lord calls" them from smaller to larger emoluments, and the liberty even with which you appeal for a million. And more than that, the so-called professionals are not indebted to the church for their training and ability—as are the clergy who attain to the proportion of spellbinding at the expense of sympathetic audiences! From a study of your Georgia Avenue sanctuary, of course, one could scarcely escape the implication that your criticism of this class of folk might be inspired by their absence from your services, for most certainly you could be having no trouble with them around these sacred precincts. A sprinkling of this lik in your congregation moreover might make untenable your tenure in this ecclesiastical habitat, which seems to be becoming much worn and perhaps somewhat abused too by curious spectators, reducing the hokum and bivality which the ku klux station broadcasts weekly over the country as representing the intelligence of the. Capital's Negro religious proclivities.
But it is indeed a sad commentary upon church reputation, anyway, that the average member suffers far more at the hands of un-

In one enterprise alone his family investment represents nearly a quarter of a million dollars, yet, his position of authority is seriously questioned by those who hold less than a single thousand dollar investment and who owe their own salaried position to the creative genius of this race financier. They object to "one man rule."
Our churches are divided and split because they do not want "one faith to rule". Our financial organizations are having battles because others object to "one law ruling".
No matter from which side we look at things, pro or con, we come disgusted. Looking at the racial side, we have too many "would-be" generals and not enough privates and ranking officers. Let merit, alone, determine who should rule. Let's discard the bad and weak points and solidify all the good ones into a powerful "one man (merit) rule". Give the "builders" a hand and let the "destroyers" wreck none but themselves.
scrupulous, ignorant preachers than from the solicitations of competent laymen catering to physical and social needs of the communities. Any demagogue can capitalize the superstitions of unthinking folk for a while and reap shekels in the name of gods to the accompaniment or self aggrandizement, but only the learned and alert in other spheres can hope to run successfully the gamut of dissension and rivalry among race enterprises and individuals inspired by thoughtless pulps. To me a decade or more of study of Negro church life has revealed many glarring deficiencies, chief among them being its political bickering, resulting in internal strife; its lack of sufficient aggressive, liberal leadership; its antequated and often grotesque programs that evidence no growth; its mediocre efforts at publicity, and the antagonisms encouraged by its class appeals.
In heaping invectives upon all other church organizations than your own, don't you think you leave the rest of the world in a sad plight? For comparatively speaking, your denomination even throughout the country, to say nothing about Washington, would amount to less than the fingers on one hand. To hear your blat, of course, one might, be led to believe the whole Capital has gone wild after this modern burlesque. But suppose you are amusing to a certain element, that would fall far wide the mark of the purpose of the church in this old world. You could scarcely be more successful if vying in your own right with other vaudeville stars or stage shows. I am afraid though, that when you are referred to as one of the country's most popular radio preachers, it is in the same sense that Bert Williams, Whitney & Tut, Butter Beans & Susie, etc. are popular names. Ninety-five percent of your time on the air is consumed in wisecracks, yelling in klaxon tones the call of letters of the koo-koos, and other fun making devices for your "radio audience".
As a lay member of the church and rather tolerant in my views, I am speaking candidly for what I conceive to be to its best interest. I confess that I believe your knack for the radio is cramping your real oratorical possibilities. Apparently you have the requisites of a pulpeteer—gift of gah, wit and humor—if not a message. Instead of trying to provide amusement for folk who don't ever go to church and believe less in it since hearing you, folk who laugh at you but would never laugh with you; instead of advertising and building up an enterprise in which you have no interest aside from your weekly guffaws, you might profit immeasurably by observing the contrast between your theatrical performances and the grace and dignity of church services of the other race as broadcast by the same station. In short, if other ministers are not obliged to clown in order to broadcast, why should you be required to do? And if the answer is that you are under no obligation to do this, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to give to the country something real constructive, with a ring of sincerity and thought behind the utterances. In that instance you would never have occasion to disclaim being Amos 'n' Andy in order to avoid being mistaken for that troupe.
Yours very truly

FROM THE MIND OF A 15-YEAR
OLD CHILD
Editor. The Tribune:
As we look down the hill of time into the years to come, we see no future for the Negro race. We only see ahead of us lives of drudgery mingled with hope and expectation. There are no successful, thriving business places to our race's credit. how many of our people are really independent? How many wealthy Negroes are there? We own nothing. We are merely paupers, dependent on the other race—paupers who have only owned our bodies sixty-seven years. Our race has but little to look forward to.
One orator has said we are passing through, perhaps, our darkest day. Seemingly, we are. Let us picture our race as she stands on the hill of time. Allow our memory to retrace itself over a span of sixty-seven years. See the Negro as a division of human beings, in a foggy mist, fleeing from the wrath of the white man and the irony clutches of slavery. Gaze upon our ancestors as they were before the birth of freedom. Before them gleams a bright and shining goal. Behind them lay the heartaches, the tyranny, and inconsolable pangs of slavery. Some strive to reach their goal. Others fall by the wayside and give up in despair.
Turn your eyes to the side of the hill. Let your glance wander in progress's direction. There, seated on the rock of determination, you will find those men who said, "We will go forward." They plot and plan a project whereby the race may win success. With eager eyes they plod toward their journey's destiny. And as they stretch their solicitous hands to reach for their hard-earned goal, some unseen force pushes them back and snatches the prize of joyful expectation away.
Alas! Must this unseen power forever hinder our progress? Must our race forever bow in humble submission to its will? No. A thousand times, no. We have a great battle to fight. Bestir yourselves, my countrymen. Prepare for the coming combat. Sharpen your blunt tools of the past. Encourag the efforts of the men of your race. Let us go head, heart, and hand into the things that retard our progress and fight them out. Be faithful to the end. Remember diligence will win success. To such as do, the darkest day clears, always.

LIFE TOO SHORT FOR HATRED
Editor, The Tribune:
"Life is too short for hate," he said. With these words my friend left me, pronounced as a last resource of his imagination to quiet my troubled mind.
I don't know why, but although we had been talking for fully a half hour that was all that I could recall from that meeting. The whole phrase lingered, it seemed to permeate the atmosphere all around me stealthily it crept into my thoughts and lastly it overcame my very soul.
I was a changed man. Once again I felt free. Yes, free from a conscience that wouldn't let me see anything but lust and hatred for my fellowmen. How true, I thought, and yet I couldn't see it for myself. I had to be led to freedom from my very self.
A happy man usually gets the missionary spirit in him and isn't contented until he has shared his happiness or his experience with those around him. It is with this feeling that I venture to pass along this message in hopes that it might touch a hardened soul, a spirit that has been trod upon by adversity or circumstances; those are the ones that would most likely entertain hatred or vengeance in their mind, that demon that blackens and destroy all the beauty that surrounds us.
Yes, life is too short, and if it is to be spent harboring unpleasant thoughts, what would be left for the useful and practical things in life. Try it yourself, the very next time that everything doesn't happen as expected and the disappointment is very discouraging, notice how many anxious hours are spent simply worried about something that has no remedy. Now try to forget, consider something pleasant, direct your time and thoughts to the rebuilding of your fallen castles or maybe to an entirely new project—it may be a pretty hard thing to do and will require plenty of will power and determination but the relief will be worth all the trouble.
I tried it, and that is why I'll never forget the friend who told me "Life is too short for hate."
MEDICO-LEGAL PRACTICE IN EUROPE
European countries are far ahead of the United States in the practice of legal medicine. In the majority of European countries police commissioners have law degrees as well as those of medicine. The medical expert for the court is a respected honored person in Europe and he is expected to find the facts, not to help convict a prisoner or suspected criminal.
BOOK REVIEWS
"I Fly for News," by Larry Rue is more interesting than the majority of adventure fiction. It is a story of a newspaper man who was the first correspondent t. cover assignments in his own airplane which he piloted and navigated himself. In 1925 he interviewed Abdel-Krim during the very heat of the Biff uprising, and slipped through a hail of bullets into the Spanish lines afterward; and he shuttled back and forth across the Balkans in their most tempestuous period after the war in the service of the Chicago Tribune.
The following is a summary of some of his own adventures as Rue relates them: "I had a ringside seat during the Karl putsch in Hungry, and had a couple of machine guns poked in my belly during the famous Hitter beer putsch in Munich; I was in at the killing of 'The Iron Man of the Balkans', Premier Stambolisky, of Bulgaria, who used to make King Boris be our interpreter when we were together." A book of thrills, thrillingly told can truthfully be said of "I Fly for News." (Albert and Charles Boni, Inc., New York, Price $2.50.) C. L. F.
The Perkins family could trace their ancestors back to the days of the landing of the Pigrims at Plymouth. Coming down through the centuries they had always represented stability and at all times were leaders in the affairs of Tarver, that New England town which so highly prided itself on its first families. They were staunch Congregationalists. We gather this from "The Descendants of Cyrus Perkins" by Charles Bloomer. The Sylvia family were but one generation removed from Portugal, and were members of the Roman Catholic church. Years before, the elder Sylvia settled in Tarver, working on the farm owned by a Perkins. Here, Mr. Sylvia, with his good wife, raised a family and their children grew up with the Perkins' children.
Nat Perkins, with whom the story is chiefly concerned, is tolerant, liberal and democratic, in contrast to the majority of his family who seem to be narrow-minded, and hold themselves aloof in their vaunted superiority, and can see no good in others whose ancestral line does not extend to the Pilgrims, in those who profess different religious faith.
Mary Sylvia is the eldest daughter of the Sylvia family. She is a lovable character and despite the barriers between the Sylvia and the Perkins family, it is only natural that Nat Perkins and Mary Sylvia should fall in love with each other.
How they surmount these barriers makes a very beautiful problem story. And in the unfolding thereof the reader will appreciate the character studies. (Christopher Publishing House, Boston, Mass.) —C. M.
"Pat Hurley, the story of an American" by Parker La Moore, has just come off the press. In case that you do not know it, "Pat" Hurley (Patrick Jay) is the first Cabinet member to come from Oklahoma. He is the choice of the Hoover administration, and the story told in this little 140-page book is graphic with the bustle of this son of an Irish coal miner. If you like terse, tense biography, here is your book. It gives a look into Western politics—something we of the East know little of. (Brewer, Warren & Putman, New York, Price $1.50.) C. L. F.
It was necessary for two people to write this interesting narrative of these two interesting personages, "Houdini and Conan Doyle." Bernard M. L. Ernst, Houdini's attorney and close friend, past president of the Society of American Magicians, and Hereward Carrington, well-known psychic investigator, author of "The Story of Psychic Science, collaborated in the writing of this "different" book.
The incident of the verbal clutter between Houdini and Jess Willard, the excerpts from Houdini's diary, and the letters that he and Doyle wrote to each other make interesting reading. (Albert & Charles Boni, Inc., New York. Price $3.00.) —C. L. F.
"I HAVE NEVER HAD A CHANCE"
By Nannie H. Burroughs
Two plain but neatly dressed, healthy looking women sat just in front of me on the street car.
"I have never had a chance. I have been digging all my life. Everything I try fails," said one of the women.
The ther woman, apparently to be agreeable and have a duet with perfect harmony said, "That's just my fix."
They settled down to compare notes and to discuss their problems, and I settled down to think about people who have never had a chance. "Never had a chance." After about ten minutes of reasoning and reflection I said almost aloud, "Nobody in the whole world has ever Had a chance. People don't have chances. They take them." I could hardly resist the temptation of leaning over, apologizing for having heard a very striking part of their conversation
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION
KELLY MILLER SAYS:
IMPLEMENTING THE NATIONAL NEGRO NON-PARTIZAN LEAGUE
March 21, 1932
Mr. Kelly Miller,
Howard University,
Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Miller:
For your information allow me to state that as chairman of the 62nd Assembly District of the Los Angeles County Central Republican Committee, now in charge of the Hoover for President campaign, I have the honor of being in charge of said campaign on the East side, where the bulk of our people live and vote.
Knowing, that in the past the California vote has been somewhat of an enigma to our Eastern brethren, I feel that you will be pleased to learn that at last we have been able to establish our connections in the party organization to the extent that the program in the State will come down through our membership in the regular party organization.
If this information is of any value to you, I would be pleased to hear from you at once and invite you to criticize freely, or advise fully as to the methods to be employed to secure for our President the endorsement of the people, that will bring about his renomination.
There is much dissatisfaction being expended by the proletariat and a large number of our group have registered as Democrats, and any advice or information that you possess that you think will be of value to us in our efforts to create sentiment that will react to the benefit of the party and our President will be much appreciated I assure you.
Wishing an early reply, I am,
Very truly yours,
Fred C. Williams,
Chr. 62nd Assembly
District, Los Angeles.
Your letter of March 21 strikes me as an interesting political document. At this great distance, the Los Angeles Negro vote does not seem to have any particular significance. Whatever local interests, ambitions or personal aspirations there may be, seem to be limited to your state and city, without any national significance. The fifty thousand Negroes in your city, I take it, are able to organize their voting power for their own interests and advancement. You doubtless have a state pride in advancing the cause of a son of California who may or may not make a different appeal to the colored voters in his own state from what he makes to the race at large. He is a high minded, patriotic American citizen who has been confronted by a situation beyond human power to control. You do well to line up with a great political or
and then giving them the benefit of my discovery.
I wanted to tell them that nobody in the world has ever Had a chance. People Take chances. Take a chance, said a voice within me, but I didn't. I wasn't afraid but I decided to devote all of my time to reflecting on what those women had said, and see how much evidence I could stack up against them.
Never had a chance. I repeated their charge against the world over and over again. I looked them over thoroughly. They were sane and healthy, but they had spent their healthy lives trying to have chances.
Poor things! What fools we mortals be!
This is a wolf: of chances. The fact of the matter is, chances are the world's furnishings, from the deepest, darkest caves of ocean to the remotest and smallest star in the ethereal vault. The world has nothing but chances for those who will take them.
In spite of their charges against the world each of those women took one desperate chance when she was born into the world. Every human being that is born into this world is born at his or her own risk. He takes the chance of working out his salvation. The fact of the matter is that the chance-takerer feel, hear and see so many or such big chances that they run by, run over and knock down people like the two women who were sitting down trying to have chances. They will never have any. If they get any chances in this world, they will have to take them ail the way from birth to death. A world full of chances is right here for us and if we do not take them it is nobody's fault but ours.
A man drift along with the tide
from a boat worthless soul."
Take a chance.
Whither Are We Tending?
That the history of America has shown racketeering in every age, was set forth last week, and now the history of the World presents a similar picture. In ancient Rome, as capital accumulated in the hands of the least imaginative while the soldier went to war, the poor became poorer under laws which favored the well-to-do, and pauperism spread. In 50 B.C. in mighty Rome, there were 2,000 wealthy families, just as in America, to-day, ten per cent of the people have ninety per cent of the income. In about 300 years of national growth, the

ganization which has power to help you in case of local or national success. You ask me for advice as to methods to be employed in order to secure our President the endorsement of the people. I would advise that you secure from him if possible, the expression of some affirmative attitude and firm declaration of purpose towards the colored contingency, in case he is successful in the race that lies before him. In this attempt, I trust that because of your closer homes, you will be more successful than our national political leaders have been during the past four years.
I note your statement that there is much dissatisfaction among the proletariat, and that a large number of our group have registered as Democrats. Any group of Negroes who have not been dissatisfied with the political trend of the past three years would make us ashamed of our racial variety. I am sure that Mr. Hoover could have little respect for any group of Negroes who accepts with uncomplaining satisfaction his racial policy or lack of policy during his administration.
From my point of view it is one of the most hopeful political signs of the times to see Negroes aligning themselves with all political parties which are appealing to the American electorate. I do not find any vital difference between the two great parties on such national issues as prohibition, human rights, protective tariff, foreign debts or international relations. The only difference I can see between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt lies in their variant point of view as to the ownership and control of water power which may be expressed by the Hoover Dam. This issue certainly does not make any passionate appeal to the proletariat, white or black. As you may know, I am a firm advocate of the principles laid down by the National Non-partisan Negro League. Let the Negro once for all divest himself of a meaningless one-sided partizanship, and fall in behind men, measures and movements best calculated to advance the general and racial weal. All Negroes will not agree as to what is best. They will therefore divide their allegiance according to their own conscience and judgment. The Negroes in Los Angeles must determine these things for themselves. This they seem to be doing by dividing up between the two great major parties.
The National Negro Non-Partisan League has laid down a platform of principles upon which the race can stand, as upon firm and solid ground. I am delighted to see these more or less abstract ideas being implemented by political organizations of an independent type which are now springing up in all parts of the nation. Yours truly.
greatest empire of all time, saw a pure plutocracy culled out and dominating what had been originally a race of individualists and courageous soldiers spread their domain.
Thus wealth came to be the same as aristocracy, and led to a small group, or oligarchy, which became the real government. All Latin literature of that time reeks with money, and the term "base-born" or "proletariat," mean one without money, while a rich man automatically became an "aristocrat."
Then as now, only to prevent revolution did the great grain speculators agree to grant State aid to those whom they had ruined and, who were starving.
The Caesars had learned how to oppress the religious and imaginative down to the point of no resistance, from the Egyptian 'lagids' who caused the "fellah" who lived upon less than any people in all time.
When the Bible speaks of a penny for farm laborers, it tells of the state of wages forced upon the poor, and the low-standard of living obtained everywhere except among the women of the rich and powerful.
Women Extravagant
Then as now, the luxuries of women drained the Roman state of gold, thus contracting the currency and destroying prices for home produced goods. Loans were called, accommodation refused, mortgages were sold out, usurers hoarded their gold to buy at low price exactly as is happening here in America 2,000 years later.
It appears to be a law of national development, that when a State reaches a certain stage, and capital has accumulated, men turn from thinking of the welfare of their fellows and think only of self and class. The class that has capacity to absorb wealth, always tries to enhance it by taking advantage of the legislative power That is done most easily by Contracting the Currency.
Currency gains in power as it shrinks in volume, and then as we have seen here in America, where seventy billions were loaned outside of America and another seven billions were lifted into the possession of those who devised securities to replace its real value, the people, into whose hands money must flow as wages, can not find employment; business stagnates, failures are precipitated, and goods are imported from Soviet Russia where the standard of living is low.
While the wealthy are declaring Russia because of its form of government, their accents are buying; cheaper Russian products and marketing them in America at the ex-
