LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—In all sincerity and displaying a lot of well prepared and neatly printed advertising literature, Rev. R. A. Garrison, 1453 1/2 E. 23rd Street, announces that he intends to run on an independent ticket for the Presidency of the United States.
As the first Negro candidate for President, he states that he can hardly hope for election, but that with the proper support, $a_k$ make the Negro vote felt and secure recognition when the many appointments following election are made.
He states that there are 16,500 appointments to be made following election with an outlay of $576,711,929.23 in salaries annually. Negroes should get at least 15 per cent of these even if they only constitute 7 per cent of the population, he declares. He also states that Negro appointees have a right to 10 of the 146 consulates, and as there are 15,665 posts assigned in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class offices the group should have 1,000 of these.
Rev. Garrison states that the only way to ever acquire these rights is to draw away from both parties and let both feel the loss of black votes, whether he or some Negro is getting their support.
Rev. Garrison was born at Topsail Sound, N.C., on May 9, 1865. Self-educated from the elementary school up, he secured the D.D. and M.A. degrees from Richard Allen Institute at Pine Bluff, Ark.

PARENT-TEACHERS HELPING IN CITY-WIDE T. B. DRIVE
All of the 123 Parent-Teacher Associations of Washington are to be enlisted this week in support of the early diagnosis and cage-finding campaign of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Mrs. Joseph Saunders, president of the District of Columbia Parent-Teacher Associations, yesterday, arranged to place in the hands of the presidents of the 80 local branches of the P.T.A. a communication from Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, president of the Tuberculosis Association, asking to have the objectives of the campaign presented at the next regular meeting of each local group and offering to furnish a speaker if desired.
An identical communication is being sent to the presidents of the 43 Negro P.T.A. groups by George A. Parker, president of the District P.T.A. of the 16th to 13th divisions, with a personal note from Mr. Parker urging participation in this fight against tuberculosis.
The purposes of the campaign were emphasized in a radio address by Dr. A. C. Christie, chairman of the Early Diagnosis Campaign Committee, in the period from Station WMAL donated by the Board of Trade, Thursday evening. Reviewing the history of the long and winning effort to control tuberculosis, Mr. Christie said:
"It is plain that there is nothing more important in controlling the spread of this disease than the control of those who are spreading the tubercle bacilli. But in order that they may be controlled they must be known to the Health Department. Every case must be traced back to its source; otherwise that source will continue to spread infection to others. If every case of tuberculosis were traced to the case that caused it, we could soon stop the spread of tuberculosis. It is obvious that the disease must be diagnosed before it can be reported. Early diagnosis is of prime importance for two reasons; first, because in the early stages of the disease it may be arrested and cured, and, second, because the patient can be taught early to take care of himself and avoid infecting other people, especially those of his own household. This means that wherever there is a known case of tuberculosis i. a family every other member of the family should be examined either by the family physician at one of the hospital dispensaries, or at the tuberculosis clinic."
Dr. Christie voiced the opinion that the only way to make further advance against tuberculosis is through the co-operation of every agency — the physician, public health nurse, social worker, the public authorities, and the heads of families where the disease already exists. He urged all to assist in reporting all instances where signs of the disease may appear. He called upon his fellow-physicians especially to report all cases in their practice to the Health Department.
A Warning Front Dr. Welch Dr. William H. Welch, of Baltimore, known as the "Dean of American Medicine," has issued a statement to the nation in connection with the Early Diagnosis Campaign, warning that "any undue rebenchment in health work is bound to be paid for in dollars and cents as well as in the impairment of the people's health generally." He says that too great economy in this line on account of the depression is particularly dangerous to growing children, and that the ground lost by undernourishment in childhood may never be regained. It is estimated that the annual loss from tuberculosis in the nation is more than a billion dollars.

Born in Amelia County, Va., she was educated in the schools of Richmond, Va., and later came to Washington in 1902. She was a member of the Ladies' Cliff Rock Society, the Ladies' Protective Association, the Bannecker Association, and the Frederick Douglass Association. She was well known in church and fraternal circles.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson, brother and sister-in-law of the deceased, of New York City; Frank Dixon, Walter Dixon and Joseph Howell, brothers-in-law, all of Richmond, Va. were in the city to attend the final rites.
Galbraith A. M. E. Church
Miss Sarah Lucinda Hamilton conducted a unique program for the C.E.S., Sunday, Topic, "Putting Purpose Into Life." Phil. 3:12-16.
Attorney George C. Scurlock discussed the topic briefly, saying in part, "Every one should have a purpose in life. No one is justified in saying, I have no chance." God wants us to assume responsibility. There is always service we can render to God and to our fellowman. We should seek to find out what that service is and perform it with all our might. First seek the Kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and all things necessary for our spiritual guidance will be given. With the zeal of Paul, let us run the Christian race with patience, ever pressing forward toward the mark for the prize, of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Others participated in the program as follows: Charles H. Anderson, Scripture lesson, prayer, Alexander Brewer; "Our Purpose as to Prohibition." George Barnes; "Our Purpose as to Opinion," James Ed. Lane; "Our Purpose as to Christianity." Daniel Jones; instrumental solo, Mr. A. Page; "Planning Our Lives," "Master James Deal; recitation," "If We Think," Wallace Conway; "Our Purpose in Life," Homer Sneed; solo, Frank Williams; Miss Sylvia Chase, pianist.

Mrs. Ada Battle, wife of Dr. W. D. Battle, will lead next Sunday. Ralph Dines is president.

THE BIG LIBRARY AT METROPOLITAN SERVING MANY
Started In December 1930 The Library Has Steadily Grown In Service
By ARTHUR CARTER
Having organized nearly a year and a half ago, the Community Library of the Metropolitan Baptist Church stands out as one of the best community activities in the city.
The library organized in December, 1930, by the Young People's Club of the church has afforded an unusual opportunity to church members, students and citizens of the community. It is open daily from 9:30 o'clock until 7 o'clock, and on Sundays from 6 until 7:30.
All kinds of fiction, non-fiction, reference books, periodicals, and newspapers are among the library's properties. With the exception of recent publications the books are loaned free of charge. A small sum is required for each day a recent book is out. The system in operation is particularly the same used by the Public Library.
Over 225 regular borrowers, including college, high school and elementary school students, are registered with the librarian. The majority of the 800 volumes have been donated by private citizens and organizations. Reading tables are also a feature of the library. Encyclopedias containing information on practically any subject are also available at the library. A special information bureau in which the patrons may ask any practical question and receive their answer by mail is also a feature of the organization. Many prominent citizens, including Miss Nannie Burroughs, head of the National Training School, often visit the church library. Celestine Jefferson is librarian.
Officers of the club that is sponsoring the activity are Norvanne Walker, president; Benjamin Thomas, vice-president; Odessa Stewart, secretary; Edward Taylor, assistant secretary; and Natallie Robinson, treasurer.
Mt. Carmel Baptist
Dr. W. H. Jernagin preached Sunday morning worm the subject, "Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shall understand hereafter." Communion services were observed at 3 o'clock. Funeral rites for Mr. Aquila Bonds were held at the church also.
At night, Dr. St. Paul Thompson occupied the pulpit and preached from the text, "Abram Trusting God."

POPULAR DANCE HALL CONVERTED INTO BOWLING
Grand Opening of New Alleys Will Take Place Saturday
As a dance hall, the Lincoln Colonnade is no more. The beautiful ballroom where people from every social set found their way at intermittent intervals to enjoy festive occasions, will soon be a memory. The popular dance hall has been converted into a magnificent bowling alley and the grand opening will take place tomorrow (Sautrud), at 1 o'clock. So Lincoln Colonnade will still remain Washington's favorite recreation center, for bowling, Washington's newest pleasure and health giving pastime, will fascinate and attract crowds as dancing did in the palmy days. When bowlers flock to the Colonnade they will merely be preserving a custom that many were loathe to relinguish.
The alleys are ideal in location and design and will display ten beautiful alleys. The visitors' gallery furnishes an excellent view of play when women and men may enjoy the games under semi-private conditions. The alleys, being adjacent to Lincoln Theatre, are right in the heart of the social district.
The grand opening tomorrow is expected to attract some of the city's best bowlers besides a host of onlookers.

Boisseaux Addressed Insurance Managers
At the regular weekly meeting of the Insurance Managers' Association, Raymond O. Boisseaux agency assistant to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, was the guest. Mr. Boisseaux stated, among other things, that the public is making a re-valuation of services and of the services of every other organization conducted by colored people, and in this connection he stated that what affects one colored business affects all. He also said that many of the people in our group do business with us from the standpoint of sympathy.
He gave the formula for success, unity of purpose, unity of action, unity of demand. Mr. Boisseaux tried to impress his hearsers with the fact that colored business men must have interest in their customers; that they must serve them from an unselfish standpoint. He told the managers present that he hoped the Washington association would become a nucleus from which would grow a national organization.

A.K.A. PRESENTS "THE SILVER CORD"
"The Silver Cord," which was strong enough to bring a great deal of anguish to two young men, cause a young man to give up his fiancee and almost separate a husband from his wife, was quite strong enough to bring a large crowd of Washingtonians to Armstrong Auditorium, last Saturday night to witness the play.
This was a play of three acts and was so remarkably presented as to hold the attention of the audience for almost four hours without any signs of impatience. There were just six characters who were so vivid, so full of appeal and so natural that one would almost have imagined it to be a scene from real life.
The story centered around Mrs. Phelps played by Bernice Brown and her two sons, David (Arthur O. Waller), and Robert (Curtis W. Todd). Mrs. Phelps had been left a widow with considerable wealth at an early age. She had devoted all her life and energy to the bringing up of her two boys. Her plan was to keep them always near her and tied to her apron strings. She was determined to do this regardless of what they wanted to do, David, the elder, went abroad, met Christina, a young scientist, played by Louise Lovett, and married her, Mrs. Phelps was undaunted, however, and planned to keep the two of them at home and if necessary find some way to get rid of Christina. As for Robert, the younger son, Mrs. Phelps eventually persuaded him to break his engagement with Hester, a very charming girl (Viola Smith).
Christina had plans for her husband to go to New York and pursue his architectural career while she accepted a job there too. Mrs. Phelps was shocked and was willing to do anything to prevent this. As for Hester, Mrs. Phelps tried to invent some excuse for not wanting her in the family, and did polson Robert's mind. When Hester learned Robert's intention to break with her, she attempted suicide. Christina sided with her and brought David right to the point of choosing between her and his mother. He wavered but finally decided to leave the house and go with his wife, Hester, went with them, but the weakling, Robert, stayed with his mother, whose plans were to leave the city and go to Europe as the result of Hester's actions and the scandalous aftermath.
Bernice Brown gave a wonderful portrayal of the mother. She was extremely selfish, deceitful, scheming. One minute she was playing on the sympathies of her boys, saying that her heart was weak and she wouldn't be with them for long. The next she was bering the wife and fiance in no uncertain terms. She tried up to the very end to win the boys, but could not get David to give up his plans. Louise Lovett, as the young wife, was keen, intelligent and madly in love with David. She saw through Mrs. Phelps at once and knew that she could never remain with her. Her performance as Christina could not have been equaled. Hester, or Viola Smith, in real life, was a likable girl and a sensitive one. Rather than have her parents know that she had been jilted she was willing to sacrifice her life. But with Christina she received new hope and courage.
Arthur Waller gave a splendid characterization as the husband. He wanted to be a dutiful son and husband, which seemed impossible, considering his mother, but he found that happiness lay with his wife. The younger son, Curtis Todd, was pampered, lacking in character and thoroughly selfish due to his mother's unwholesome influence. His rendition of this type of young man was good. Joseph Walker was the pompous, well-fed butler who properly dropped his "h'a".
The play is one by Sidney Howard and was directed by Gertrude P. McBrown. The settings and costumes which were up-to-date in every respect were by Lois M. Jones. Fred Pelham was in charge of lighting. Muriel Milton was the efficient business manager. Music between the scenes was furnished by the Howard University String Ensemble from the classes of Louia Vaughn Jones, consisting of J. Richmond Johnson, violin; Maurice Jones, violin; Arthur Smith, cello; and Sherman Smith, piano.

BICENTENNIAL TREE PLANTING CEREMONY HELD
Joint Arbor Day Program Held At Barry Farms Impressive
A joint Bicentennial tree planting and Arbor Day program was held on the Barry Farms Playground by the Barry Farm Playground and Birney School, Friday. The event was given as part of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission's program. J. C. Bruce, supervising principal of Division Thirteen, delivered the main address. He spoke of the characteristics of the trees that are comparable with the character traits in human beings such as uprightness, sturdiness and reliability.
The presentation of the tree to Miss Sybil Baker, supervisor of playgrounds, was made by Mr. John Syphax, administrative principal of Birney School. In her acceptance speech Miss Baker outlined the program of improvements in progress at the grounds and predicted that when completed Barry Farms Playground would be one of the most beautiful in the city. The children were urged to protect the trees.
A certificate of registration on the American Tree Association's National Honor Roll was presented by Miss Baker to Mrs. Florence Mathews, directress of Barry Farm Playground. Miss Emma Smith, retired teacher of Birney, and the first Community Center secretary, who planted the tree, gave a short talk relative to the history of the playground.
The spade used in planting the tree which was loaned by the American Tree Association, was the same spade used by President Hoover in planting the Bicentennial tree on the White House grounds.
Other speakers included R. J. Rayford, head of the Elementary Science Department; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, head of the Community Center; and Mrs. Jennie V. Smith, music teacher, who rendered a solo, "Trees." Recitations were given by pupils of the Sixth and Eighth grades. The invocation and benediction were said by Rev. J. C. Banks, pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church.

MINER TEACHERS' COLLEGE NEWS
The assembly of Wednesday, at Miner Teachers' College proved of great interest to both teachers and students as three delegates to the Eastern State Conference of Schools, held in New York, April 8 and 9, reported the benefits derived from that conference. Mrs. Gertrude Woodard, dean of women at the Teachers' College; Ernest Jenkins, president of the Student Council; and Carolyn Hollowoman were the speakers.
An outline of the trip, given by Mrs. Woodard, revealed the fact that the party had made a stop at Trenton where they visited a new, recently completed teachers' college. The various student meetings at the conference were described by Ernest Jenkins. At these meetings helpful ideas were exchanged as to the management of student affairs. Miss Holloman next repeated the speech which she delivered at a student meeting on Saturday, April 9. She had chosen as her subject the project of the Social Service Club, which consisted of giving a fashion show at Christmas in order to have funds to help the poor.

PILOTS DEFEATED BY CAMDEN, 4-1
Pitching Staff Weak As Local Club Bows To Lou Schaub's Nine
By BENNIE CALDWELL
WILMINGTON, Del. — After four days of practice, Manager Francisco Warfield led his band of peppy athletes to Wilmington, Del., where they entertained Lou Schaub's Camden Club, in a hot game which the Pilots lost, 4 to 1. Manager Warfield started with the following line-up: Dials, c.f.; Warfield, 2b; Durant, 1b; Smith, 3b; Warmack, If.
Pitcher Hackett travelled three innings. He walked one batter, allowed one hit and no runs. He was followed on the slab by Nipper "Jim" Winters, who allowed five hits, two walks, and three runs in one and one-third innings.
With two men on in the fifth inning, Brewer relieved Winters and retired the side on two strike-outs. During his two and two-thirds innings he allowed two hits, one run and struck out five men.
McDonald, the submarine wizard, travelled two innings. He struck out four men, allowed no hits and no free transportation. "Snanty" Hogan, Warfields two hundred and fifty pound catcher, caught two innings and walked his first time at bat.
The features of the game were the pitching of Hackett, MacDonald and Brewer, the hitting of outfielder Johnny Jones, who secured four hits in four times at bat, one a double. Dials, fleet outfielder from the Coast, secured two hits and one walk in four trips to the platter.
The Pilots made one run, eight hits and two errors. Camden secured four runs, nine hits and two errors.
This week on April 21 and 22, Warfield takes the Pilots to Harrisburg to meet the Senators of that city. On April 24, Camden will be played at Camden. "Ducky" Kemp, the peppy coach, keeps everybody keyed up with his everlasting pep and dash. Manager Warfield will select his line-up from men now in training with the addition of one catcher and one outfielder from Houston, Texas.

Well, we took our second 1,000 mile jump in the new Mack and made it from Houston, Texas, to St. Joseph, Mo., in 32 hours. Laid over one hour in Oklahoma City and 45 minutes in Kansas City, Mo.
Couldn't tell much about St. Joseph except that they seem to know nothing about the depression. They do know a great deal about Lindbergh and his kidnapped baby. Two days in St. Joseph and then on to Omaha.
This home of the Wilsons, Armours and Cudahys is rated as one of 100,000 population. About 14,000 are colored, and the black center is 24th Street.
Here they have a number of colored police, with full police authority. N.5 like Houston, where Negro police can only arrest Negroes — but a cracker bluecoat can crush anybody's skull. Am also told that the police department has a Negro lieutenant. I know they have a battalion of firemen.
Mixed schools, but no race teachers, and except in the theaters and eating houses the darker clan goes most anywhere it pleases. The citizenry is not overloaded with sociability although they are not snobbish. Just a trifle hard to know.
Mr. Galloway, of the Omaha Guide, says the present population is descended from old settlers and make it a rule to carry themselves so as not to interfere with other people's affairs.
Dr. Lenox seems to know all the Boulou crowd in Pittsburgh and speaks very highly of Eve and Yerger of Hot Springs. Did not talk to him about a Negro hospital in Omaha and don't know how it would affect his mixed practice.
Satchel Parge is one of those rare birds who can brag and has something to brag about. Of course there are others who can perform colorfully, but don't seem to get much kick out of bragging.
Had the honor of being interviewed by Mr. Simmons, of the Chicago Defender. This is the first time we have played on the defense of an interview.

"Buster" Holmes, ace of the Tigers' hurling corps, is slated to take the mound against the Reformatory boys. Several new players in the personages of Stewart, Byars and Cork, will be seen in the Oriental's line-up.

WRESTLING MATCH ENDS IN DRAW
The wrestling duel between the Twelfth Street and the Druid Hill Avenue Y.M.C.A.'s ended in a draw Monday night in the former's gymnasium. Two bouts were held. In the main attration, Chief Brown, 169 pounds, went 20 minutes to a draw with Julius James, of Baltimore. Both boys worked conscientiously throughout with Brown being the aggressor. Time and again the Chief would attempt his head look only to have the wily James elude him. The same two will be matched again to appear here on May 2.
The other match between Norman Jenkins and Montell Crump was a thriller with plenty action from the start. Jenkins showed plenty of class as he kept his opponent under the bottom throughout the match. Crump exhibited plenty fight to keep his shoulders up. The "Y" squad is looking forward to a trip to Baltimore next week.

Champion Throws Siki With Kick On The Chin
BUFFALO, N.Y.—Regis Siki, the Abyssinian Panther, failed to win his championship wrestling match against Henry DeGlane in the audiotrium here, Monday night but he carried the crowd with him, and according to the sports writers covering the event, showed himself to be a better grappler than the champion. His defeat came about as the result of a trick, a kick in the chin from De Glane's foot, which knocked him unconscious and left him an easy victim to the 218 pound Frenchman.

Clyde Williams, stellar Dunbar southpaw, hurled a brand of ball that added eight strikeouts to his string in the six innings he pitched. The game was a pitcher's duel from the third to the sixth. The Dunbar lads got to Hodge in the latter sessions, which put the game on ice.

CUBANS WIN TWO AND DROP ONE
Pewhiskered Clan Run Into Snag When They Meet Memphis Red Sox
GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Jimmy Claxton, the long-wiskered, full-blooded Indian Southpaw, member of Syd Pollock's Cubans' pitching staff, gave Georgia fans a sterling exhibition of hurling when he held the Gainesville Tigers hitless and runless for seven innings, Dixonez finishing the game, as the Islanders scored a 10 to 0 victory over the Georgians.
The Bewhiskered Cubans ran into a stumbling block at Memphis, when Cunningham, star Memphis Red Sox hurler, held the invaders to six hits to hang up a 4 to 2 victory against Lefty Tiant. The Red Sox scored three runs in the very first inning when Zalazar and McDuff let a fly ball fall between them in the outfield, and the home club scored again in the third with a lone tally to take a 4 to 0 lead. The Cubans scored twice in the fifth, which ended the scoring for both teams. The Islanders returned on Wednesday to defeat the Memphis Red Sox 6 to 1, evening matters, and report on the "rubber contest" had not reached headquarters at the time of going to

CRAWFORDS FAIL TO HIT STRIDE
Pittsburghers Drop Hard Contest To Omaha By 6 To 4 Score
After dropping a close one to St. Joseph, 1 to 0, the Pittsburgh Crawfords thought their losing jinx had gone up with the smoke. But the hard hitting Omaha outfit had a different thought, and defeated the Crawfords, 6 to 4.
In the Saint City Ted Radcliffe held the Westerners to four hits, while the Pittsburghers gained three. Neither team scored until the eighth when St. Joseph bunched two of their four hits, scoring one run.

Opening the series with Omaha, Roy Williams suffered a temporary spell of wildness in the first inning, and was niced for two runs. Settling down in the second the Packers could not see him. But the third, a double, single and home run by Brown brought the tally to five for the Packers, while nary a Crawford had completed the circuit.
In the fifth, a pair of singles and an infield out brought in the first Pittsburgh tally. In the seventh the Pittsburghers rallied again but were forced to stop at three markers.

Tech Defeats Wonder Nine, 4-2, And Spartans By 6-1 Decision
Armstrong High School baseball team won two games by defeating the Wonder nine, 4-2, on Friday, and the Spartan A.C., 6-1, Monday.
In the first game, Jakie Levi was opposed on the mound by Mason, Paulin and Williams in their order of appearance. But for a wild throw by himself, he might have triumphed, 2-1. But Mason's support forsook him on the first play, when his second baseman allowed "Pyne" Armstrong to slide around him and recover second base after over-sliding. Paulin and Williams pitched shut-out ball during their stay.
Henry and Hager, for Tech, and Percy for the visitors gave stellar performances afield.
In the game, Monday, Williams had the Spartan swinging in vain, trying to reach his delivery. So good was he, that only two scratch hits were recorded against him.
Meanwhile the Armstrong batters were constantly pecking away at "Smack" Lucaz, whose support sagged at times at critical points. Eddie Henry, whose batting had been light previously, came to life with two singles and a walk out of three trips to plate. The Spartans were outhit, 8 to 2. Coach Adams' charges seemed to be a very promising lot, for the coming championship campaign.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
Saturday, April 16, Hampton
opened its home baseball season,
by losing a slow game to Virgin
State, champions of the C.I.A.
The game began in characterist
State fashion when the State bats
batters slammed the offerings of Daw
Henry for four hits and a walt
resulting in four runs. However
the Hampton attack began to function
and as Henry settled down the
score was soon tied up at 7.
Hampton's rally was aided by
tremendous line drive by McGill
nis, which went for a homer. The
deluge of State runs came in the
fifth inning when the visitor
scored seven runs from Skipper
before he settled down. Four
these seven runs came as result
of wild throws. After this innin
Skipper was invincible, striking on
five men.
The inability of the Seaside pitchers to get started and the costly wild throws of the player with men on bases spelled their doom. Yet they showed flashes of real form in several innings, fielding cleanly and batting well. With more practice, they should show possibilities of developing into real contenders for the championship.

BALTIMORE, Md.—Despite the
fact that “Russ’ Sterling, former
Morgan College speedster. and
present holder of the C.1.A.A. 100-

Coach Hurt has developed a real
fast. team in Cottman, Thompson,

Gibbs, the only new face on the
mile relay team, will find it to be
no easy task in filling the gap left
open by Sterling, but this chap has
speed, and plenty of guts, and,
therefore, should prove himself to
be a valuable man before the sea-
son is over. Clinton Taylor, Mor-
gan's Jong distance, runner, who
jas been runner tip to “Bill” Agee
on two occasions, will seek laurels
in the 3,000-meter steeplechase
meet, while Cottman will no doubt
‘be an outstanding contender in the
400 meter hurdle race.
In the field events much conf-
dence will be placed in such men
‘as “Tank” Conrad and “Whatta-
man” Troupe, All the men are
reported as being in good condi-
tion at the present time, and un-
less something happens’ between
now and April 28, the team should
easily walk away with honors.

Sorry, son, but dear old D, C. is
not dead on Saturday night. You
just have not found out where the
good time is, that’s all, So Mr.
Chols am going to tell you what
to do. Just get anywhere on U

Murray Casino, where the Vanities
hold full sway to the tunes of Har-
dy Brothers’ Orchestra. “Son, it
sure am ready,
Elmer Askew went home to die,
but he done come back. His only
reason for coming back was that
he had bought a round trip ticket
and he did not see any use in
throwing it away. q
Dear Mr. Chols: What was the
president's name thirty years ago?
That is an easy one, stupid, The
President's name thirty years ago
was just what it is now—Herbert
Hoover.
Dear Mr. Chols: Who was Abra-
ham Lincoln? | Signed, Historian.
What kind of a historian are you,
bonehead? Why, Abraham Lincoln
was a poor boy that was born int a
log cabin that he helped his father
to build.
Dear Mr. Chols: Won't you in
your column’ tell me. what band
does “Country” play the trombone
in? ‘
"Tis a deep mystery, son, but we
see her carrying the trombone in
Booker Coleman's Hot Chocolates,
and also in the Hardy Brothers’
band, But if you will come to the
Vanities this Saturday we thé:
you might find out.
Milton and his wife are’ now
boarding at Hotel DeGreek. Mil-
ton says ‘tis cheaper. He is try-
ing to make both ends meet, so
he buys two hot dogs.
Dear Mr. Chols: Can a person
live on onions alone?
Don't know, stupid, but if'a per-
son eats oniong he should be made
to live alone.
Did you know that a rolling stone
beats two in the bush; that a bird
in the hand gathers no moss; that
if yowlive in a glass house you
should not take a bath in the day
time; that if all the automobiles
in Washington were put end to end
it would be a long line; that all
skins are used to make ‘shoes ex-
cept banana skins, and they are
made for slippers; that you can-
not drive @ nail with a sponge no
matter how much you soak it; that
no matter how good a cross-eyed
girl is, she always looks crooked;
and that if you have wasted a lot
of time reading this bunk you are
just as erazy/as Tam? Nut sed.

it,
To make sponge cake: Take two

with the skin of a Spanish onion.
Then add two drops of fish zravy,

MONROE SCHOOL HOLDS FATHERS' NIGHT PROGRAM
Prominent Speakers Tell How Leisure Time of Boys Should Be Spent
Fathers came into their own at the first "Fathers' Night" program at Monroe School, Tuesday evening. The program was held during the regular meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of the school.
The only woman on the program was Mrs. Martha C. Watkins, white, national educational secretary of the National Congress of Parent-Teacher Associations. Mrs. Watkins suggested to the audience a summer program for parent-teacher groups.
Other speakers included a paper by Eugene Harvey on "The Man Who Put His Arms Around Me! E. A. Clark, president of Miner Teachers' College, on "The Worth of a Boy!"; and Dean William B. West, of Howard University, on "Dads I Have Known."
Dr. Arnold Straton presided over the open forum of "Leisure Hours of Our Sons." Some of the questions discussed were: How much leisure time should a boy have? How may a father and son spend leisure time together? Is the auto an aid or hindrance in the boy's leisure hours? What does the boy do in his leisure time? What companionship does the boy have in his leisure time? What can the fathers do in helping direct the leisure time of the boys in the community?
Musical selections included a solo by Dr. William E. Taylor; piano solo by George Reid; and community Singing.
The Father's Pledge was led by Clarence Dishman, a student of the school. The clinic room of the school was officially opened and inspected by parents and visitors. James I. Minor is principal of the school and presided at the meeting. A skit, "Dad Helps Me." was rendered by two students, Herbert Banks and George Reid.

Timely Suggestion
Small Things
Every motorist has his own pet theories about taking care of his automobile, while using it in town or in traveling across country. And in nine cases out of ten these little practices are of benefit to the man employing them. But as in many cases what is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander. Each car has a temperament of its own, for each motor has learned to work

When it's gas or oil you want, drive in at any time. And almost before you know it, you'll be driving out again with a clean windshield, radiator full, and oil and air checked if you wish.
in accordance with the manner in which it is handled and driven, so that what may be one "Don't" for one motorist, may be a "Do" for another, and vice versa. However, in the hints listed below you will find many useful suggestions for doing away with some of your pet peeves, which are more or less universal in the world of motoring.
Coast Over the Stone
If it is just a small spot in the highway that has been resurfaced with crushed stone, the motorist can get across without kicking up the stones or digging them into the tires. It is just a matter of getting up enough momentum to coast across.
Service is Better
Due to the fact that new car sales have been greatly retarded by the general economic conditions, an increased effort has been focused on sales through service. The results are better standards of work at reduced costs. People who have heretofore complained of service should bear in mind that the new era of values has bettered conditions in the field of motoring.
How to Use a Chamois
Always dry the body of the car after washing with a chamois, despite the fact that if left alone it will eventually dry itself. In using the chamois do not use a circular motion, as that method of drying usually leaves the surface streaked. The most effective motion to use is $a_n$ up-and-down one.
Honey in Your Radiator It has been discovered that if you put honey in your radiator in winter it acts as a good anti-freeze solution, and as a cooler for your motor in summer.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1931
derinflated the odometer will register a greater milage than your car has actually traveled.
Avoiding Reflections
Avoiding Reflections Did you know that keeping the windows of your closed car clean diminishes the annoying reflections from other motorists' headlights?
Play of Steering Wheel
Never allow your steering wheel too much play, because that can hinder you in effecting a quick stop or sudden turn, and often be the cause of an accident.
Insects Menace Motoring
Insects Mate Motoring
If $a_{n}$ insect should get into your car while you are traveling, stop the car and drive it out immediately, as many serious accidents have been caused by allowing the insect to remain in the car and annoy the driver.
Why Wheels Wobble
If your wheels wobble it is caused by worn-out bearings. This wobble causes your tires to wear out much faster and often unevenly so that the cost of keeping your wheels tired is increased. By all means have this attended to immediately and save wear and tear on your tires.
How Does Your Horn Blow?
Did you know that there is an adjusting screw on almost all makes of horns which, when turned by the motorist, can restore the correct voice to your horn, which usually is neglected during the ownership of the automobile.
Limp to the Curb
If your car limps when you put itin reverse or low gear it does so because of poorly adjusted brakes, or brakes have become disconnected by the cramping of the wheels.
Your Vacuum Tank
If your car has the reliable, long vacuum tank, which is present in only three of this year's new cars, it should be cleaned occasionally by opening the drain cock at the bottom.
Buries Old Auto
For 30 years Francis Pears, London physician, used the same automobile in making professional calls. Finding it necessary to discard it recently, he had it buried in a cemetery with all the usual honors.
The New Ford V-8 Cylinder
THE INTRODUCTION of the New Ford Eight marks one of the most important events in the history of the automobile. To millions of motorists it brings a wholly new standard of value in a low-price car. When you see the New Ford Eight and drive it, you will realize that it is the complete answer to your motoring needs. Here are beauty and safety and comfort. Here are exceptional speed and acceleration, the smooth-flowing power of an eight-cylinder engine, reliability and economy. Here are silent second speed and silent synchronized gear shifting.

TO DEDICATE NEW $300,000 LIBRARY IN ATLANTA, GA.
Building To Supply Six Schools With Library Facilities; 118,000 Books
ATLANTA, Ga. (Special)—In the new Atlanta University Library, which is to be dedicated on Saturday afternoon, April 30, provision has been made for many years in the future and for the development at Atlanta of large and diversified university center. In the stack rooms of the new building is space for 118,000 books, or almost three times the number now owned by the university, and its affiliated colleges. In the several reading rooms will be chairs for more than 400 readers.
Following the exercises of dedication on April 30, at which Mr. Dean Sage, of New York City, will accept the keys of the building, and United States Senator Frederic Collin Walcott, of Connecticut and James Weldon Johnson, professor of English at Fisk University, will deliver the addresses of dedication, the library will be immediately made available to the students of the university, Morehouse College, and Spelman College, and as well as the students of Morris Brown, Clark University, and Gammon Theological Seminary.
This general use of the library to the students of all Negro institutions in Atlanta has been specifically provided for in the grant of funds for the library by the General Education Board.
Beautiful Building The library, a stately Georgian Colonial building of brick and limestone harmonizing with the other new buildings in the university group, stands on a tract of land lying adjacent to the campuses of Spelman and Morehouse colleges. Both in its exterior appearance and its interior arrangements the new library complies with the highest standards of architectural beauty and the most modern ideas of library administration. It was designed by James Gamble Rogers, of New York, who has won international renown for his work as architect of the new Yale University buildings and the building developments at Northwestern University.

According to the university authorities, the library has been planned to provide ample facilities for undergraduates to do required readings and for advanced students to carry on research. To these ends there is provided on the main floor a large reserve book room with a delivery desk and seats for 104 readers, a general reading room which occupies the greater part of the upper floors of the building and accommodates 234 persons, and a series of simular rooms adapted for small graduate classes and research workers. At the same time particular attention has been paid to the recreational reading facilities, and to this end a periodical reading room with 200 publications and seats for 32 has been provided, as well as an open-shelf "browsing" room for the casual reader. In the basement is an

Blaine Invincible Republican Club Pays Homage To The Unknown Soldier
A committee from the Blaine invincible Republican Club visited the grave of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington Memorial Cemetery, on Saturday, April 16, 1932, and placed a wreath thereon. This act was in keeping with the annual custom of the Club to do some act in celebration of the Act of Congress of April 16, 1862, abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia.
The wreath was placed upon the tomb of the Unknown Soldier by Francis Wells, Sr., president of the club, assisted by J. Franklin Wilson, secretary of the club. Among the others in the pilgrimage were Messrs. R. B. Blount, vice president of the club; James W. Monroe, James A. Cameron, J. R. Boyd, Francis Wells, Jr., Nelson H. Nichols, Jr., James W. Jackson, George Washington, Reuben T. Franklin, Charles Hamer and Arthur A. Greene
The smallest crowd to attend a recital in the Washington Auditorium greeted the Fisk Jubilee Singers, last Friday night.
The rendition by the Jubilee Singers was excellent. Most of their songs were spirituals, of which they are masters. Their enunciation was clear and perfect. Their harmony was rythmic and enjoyable. The songs were rendered with accompanying music. They were called time after time.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers are well known the world over and should have commanded a better audience.
Warner Lawson rendered three piano solos, "Rhapsody in G Minor" by Brahms; "Fantasie Impromptu," Chopin; and "Triana," by Albeniz.
George Garner, who was billed to appear with the singers, did not put in his appearance, and Congressman Sol Bloom, of New York, was programmed for remarks during the intermission, but did not appear, nor was there a word from Mr. Lee by way of an excuse for his absence.

GIVEN MILITARY FUNERAL
CHICAGO (ANP)—"Peace be to his ashes and mercy on his soul," intoned Col. Otis B. Duncan, former commander of the Eighth Illinois Infantry Regiment, Sunday afternoon when he concluded the funeral oration over the body of his former commander, Col. Franklin A. Dennison, in the regimental army before three thousand of the former officer's friends, comrades and military associates.
The order of the military funeral for the former commanding officer was carried out by Lt. Col. Lewis E. Johnson, Majors James C. Hall, James H. Smith, William S. Braddan, James F. Lawson, William H. Lewis, Capt. Oscar Randall, Capt. Harry W. Jones and Lt. Wendell T. Derricks, under the direction of Col. Spencer Dickerson, the present commanding officer, who presided during the services.
Col. Denison's military history was read by Major James C. Hall; resolutions were read by State Senator Adelbert H. Roberts; Col Duncan delivered the funeral oration; Dr. Carl G. Roberts read the obituary and Major William S. Bradden, the regimental chaplain, preached the sermon. The members of George L. Giles Post of the American Legion conducted legion services after the regular military service.
The high points of Col. Denison's military record, as provided by Adjutant General C. E. Black, of the Illinois National Guard, were: appointed major, 2nd battalion, Eighth Illinois Infantry in 1898; appointed president of general court martial at Santiago in 1898; appointed member of the court of claims in Santiago in 1898. On April 3, 1899, he was honorably discharged as a major and mustered out of service. He was appointed a major in the Quartermaster's Department of the Fourth Brigade of the Illinois National Guard, July 25, 1903, and resigned June 19, 1906. June 24, 1907, he was appointed a major in the Eighth Infantry regiment, Illinois National Guard, and promoted to colonel January 12, 1914. He was mustered into the Federal service for Mexican border duty as a colonel June 30, 1916.
July 26, 1917, he reported for war duty and served as commanding officer of the Eighth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard and of the 370th United States Infantry which it became in the Federal service until his discharge. His principal stations were Camp Chicago; Camp Logan Texas; Camp Stuart, Virginia; the American Expeditionary forces, and Camp Grant, Illinois. He served overseas from April 6, 1918, until September 12, 1919, and was honorably discharged at Camp Grant, March 22, 1920, for the enovience of the Government. He was placed on the retired list with the rank of colonel June 30, 1922.
GIRL'S NUDE BODY

arrive after midnight Sunday, and the woman talked like she was drunk. He heard them enter the house and start arguing, and later fighting. Mr. Freeman said the noise of the fight sounded like a heavy body being thrown to the floor and trampled and kicked. At times he heard the muffled moans of a woman and low swearing of a man. The two had fought all night about a month ago, said Freeman, so he finally went to sleep leaving the couple still fighting.
An autopsy by Dr. C. J. Murphy showed that the woman's head had been literally chopped to pieces, while her body had been crushed in, rupturing the liver and vital organs. Cay escaped after the murder and has not been located.
Teachers To Have Course In Recreational Games
A teachers' recreation program, under the supervision of the Community Center Department is being formed by E. B. Henderson, physical education head in the public schools. The course includes supervisors, principals, and teachers.
If ten or more teachers manifest interest in an activity there will be organized groups of beginners, intermediates or advanced persons who will decide upon a suitable time and place for instruction. An expert instructor will be secured for the group and will meet with them for six lessons.
CHARLES THOMAS CONDUCTS FORUM Declares Law Reigns But Public Opinion Rules In United States
Declaring that "Law reins, but public opinion rules in America, just as Mussolini rules while the Italian King reigns overseas," Prof. Charles M. Thomas found "the Negro negligent in forming and influencing public opinion necessary to the protection of life, liberty and property," at the spring forum at the Y.M.C.A., on Tuesday night.
Examining decisions of the U. S Supreme Court, the speaker quoted the dissenting opinions of justices against the Dred Scott decision to show that Negroes voted for and were contemplated by and in the Constitution. Failure of teachers of our children to impress that fact, together with failure to present our record in all wars since the colonial days, Prof. Thomas asserted, was the cause of the backwardness in demanding and working for complete liberty.
He defined "liberty" in terms of supreme court decisions, as he did with "due process of law," and argued that every intelligent man, woman and child should join some such society as the N.A.A.C.P., in order to organize for protection and defense of rights, as well as for influence upon public opinion. Session will be held every Tues. day night at 8 o'clock.

ington, D.C., 62 years ago. A member of a prominent colored family of that city, he was educated as a pharmacist. In 1892, when Boners Ferry was incorporated as a village, Cook was appointed Postmaster by President Benjamin Harrison.
"Cook's arrival in a new western town may perhaps be remembered by some old timers, and can readily be imagined by others. A colored man sent out from Washington for what reason none 'could know, seeking to break down all the barriers of racial antipathy and a natural feeling against all 'tender feet' from the East.
"That Cook surmounted these barriers is evidenced by the fact that he retained the post office for about twelve years, during which time he was twice elected a member of the village board of trustees, and served twice as chairman of the board or mayor.
"In addition to his activities as postmaster he opened a drug store in which his brother, Fred, was associated with him. He also purchased town and county property which represents a modest fortune. He was one of the early owners of the power site at Mayie Falls.
"Both Frank Cook and his brother in the early days were prominent in local athletics. They played on the baseball team and belonged to the Gun Club, and both excelled in these forms of outdoor sports. The story of Frank Cook's early popularity is still told by his old time friends."

1,000 LETTERS RECEIVED FROM POLICYHOLDERS
By GORDAN H. SIMPSON
CLEVELAND, Ohio. (NP)—1,000 letters of inquiry, many accompanied by contributions to the defense fund, have been received during the past week from policyholders located in 30 of the 48 States, by the Protective Committee for the policyholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company and the Standard Life Insurance Company.
Attorney Alexander H. Martin, who gained a national reputation as an expert in insurance law during the cases involving the Union Central Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati; the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga.; and the Anchor Life Insurance Company of Massillon, Ohio, has been retained as counsel by the Protective Committee. Former United States Senator from Ohio, Atlee Pomerene, who was attorney for United States Government in the famous Tea Pot Dome Oil Lease case, is associated with Martin.
"The immediate response of policyholders all over the country to the announcement of the Protective Committee indicates that this vast army of two hundred thousand policyholders intends to protect their rights and to bring about the rehabilitation, reorganization, and mutualizing of this company. Only in this way can the policyholders protect the remainder of the millions of dollars invested in this enterprise by the policyholders themselves," stated Attorney Martin.
He further stated that the policyholders have every right to their claim to protect their interest because of the alleged three million dollar impairment of the company's assets indicates that the three quarters of a million dollar equity of the stockholders must have been wiped out before the company was placed in the hands of the receivers.
The announcement of the Protective Committee issued last week, indicates that the primary purposes of the intervening petition filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for the protection of the policyholders has as its primary purposes:
1. To retrieve the National Benefit Life Insurance Company for the policyholders.
2. To mutualize the company, thereby turning its operation and ownership over to the true owner—the policyholder.
3. To reorganize the company as it is mutualized, along scientific lines of insurance activity.
4. To offer the company with competent, honest, economically compensated officers.
5. $T_0$ do all things else that may be found necessary for the proper conservation of the company for the benefit of the policyholders and the group.

Miss Macklin cried all during the hearing at the Morgue and declined to make a further statement. Coroner A. M.

Mrs. Just alleges that prior to March 15, 1931, a vacancy occurred in the English department of the high school and she was at that time entitled to appointment. She states in her petition that she believes and avers that on or about April 15, 1931, Mrs. Arita Bonner Coeomy, a married teacher, who at that time held the position of teacher of English at Armstrong High School, had advanced to and passed the fourth month of the time in which she was required by school law to take a leave of absence on a maternity leave. It was stated that her condition was brought to the attention of Gordon David Houston, principal of the school, and Mrs. Ora Spivey, woman principal. It is claimed that Houston reported Mrs. Occomy's condition to Superintendent Wilkinson about May 1, 1931, and the matter was then brought to the attention of the board.
Say Law Was Violated
It is alleged that Mrs. Occomy gave birth to a child on September 16, 1921, in Gary, Township of Calumet, Indiana, as evidenced by a birth certificate which is used as an exhibit. The petition states that the board failed to have Mrs. Occomy placed on a leave without salary as required by law. It is pointed out that the condition thus created was first brought to Mrs. Just's attention after the birth of the child, and she retained counsel to represent her on December 8, 1931.
Was Refused Position
She says that when she applied for appointment as a permanent teacher of English she was refused. On March 25, 1929, Mrs. Just says, she took an examination for teacher in the junior high schools and passed, but her name was not placed with other successful candidates for appointment on the list of eligibles not, was it reported to the board by the superintendent, Mrs. Just claims that, her name

"While it is true that I am a member of Congress from Chicago, the very nature of things, being the only member of my race in the august body, makes me the Congressman of the Negroes in the United States. I know their constant craving for justice and opportunity. The righteousness of their cause increases my feeling of duty—a feeling that I will never ignore in Washington, or anywhere else in America."
The complete list of colored Republican victors in Tuesday's primary included Oscar Depriest, for Congress; Harris B. Gaines, William E. King, Charles J. Jenkins, and William Warfield, for the State legislature; William E. King, for committeeman of the Second Ward; Oscar Depriest for committeeman of the Third Ward; Roscoe Simmons for delegate to the Republican National Convention; William Randolph Cowan and Robert H. Hardin, Sr., for alternate delegates; William L. Dawson for State central committeeman; and James Brooks for Senatorial committeeman.
Every victor in the list belongs to the Depriest political organization, with the exception of Jenkins, who was practically unopposed.
Not only did Anderson lose his own battle, but those who pinnel their hopes upon his success loss all that they had gained. George W. Blackwell, former Richmond, Tuskegee and Hampton boy, who had dug in deep with the common people of his district of the legislature, was decisively beaten. His place will be filled by a white man, J. T. Broche. Thus the Negro contingent in the State legislature is cut from six to five, counting Senator Adelbert H. Roberts. Jenkins, the Anderson man who won, is left in an unenviable position, being high and dry with no influential support to rally around himself, and facing the prospect of a drive being made to "get" him at the next election.
Anderson left his political headquarters the night of the primary after the returns from four precincts had come in. He gave out no word and has not been seen since. It is reported, however, that he will take time out for a rest at West Baden, Ind., before returning to the city by April 25 for the trial of the bandits who held up his home in December. It is practically a certitude that another year will suffice to make a political relic out of the man who was once Mayor Thompson's floor leader When Mayor Cermak, Democrat, was elected he deprived Anderson of much of the patronage which he had enjoyed. Tuesday's defeat was so cataclysmic that all Anderson now has, except a few State handouts, is his own job in the city council. DePriest is said to be grooming William L. Dawson, heroic World War veteran, for that position.

DEPRIEST PLEDGES SERVICE; ANDERSON LOST EVERYTHING
Whites Gain One State Representative; Brown, Democrat, Lost
CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—After taking a couple of weeks off to come home and administer a licking to Alderman Louis B. Anderson in the primary election, Tuesday, Congressman Oscar DePriest left the city again this week for Washington and other points where he may continue his labors as the national political representative of his people.
Before leaving this city, Mr. DePriest issued a statement, expressing his gratitude for the support given him and pledging himself anew to the service of the people. The statement in full follows:
"The good citizens of the First Congressional district have again shown their confidence by nominating me for a member of the House of Representatives in the United States Congress.
"This is an honor for which I am deeply grateful, and for which I extend to everyone who supported me profound thanks and well wishes.
"The campaign has been interesting from many viewpoints. I had never doubted the fact that I would be re-nominated; I always have faith in the sense of fairness of my people. Our campaign was conducted on a high plane, without any resort to personal vilification.
"We are ready now for the next step; in fact, we have already begun the fall campaign. We are moving forward in the interest of the people. I know the people; I know them collectively and individually. It is for the people that I have always given my best ef-

COLUMBIA. S.C.—Architee's design of Benedict College's new Auditorium to be erected at the cost of $50,000. On April 13, Dr. J. J. Starks, first Negro president of the college, secured $9,185 in cash in the initial rally. Construction of the new auditorium may begin this summer. Dr. Starks is completing his second year as president of the institution. Last summer Colby Hall, a dormitory for college girls, was brick veneered and renovated.
There seems to be little likelihood of a patchup between the two leaders. Anderson's campaign against DePriest blistered throughout. The largest local weekly enlisted on his side and discharged its Big Berthas at the Congressman throughout the drive.
Despite the skillful generalship of Nathan K. "Little Napoleon" McGill, Attorney General Oscar Carlston, guhernatorial aspirant, did not get far with the colored voters. He ran behind Small and Custer throughout the Negro district and made a miserable showing in Mr. McGill's own ward.

The increase in the Democratic vote among Negroes was significant. In the preceding primary, 2,000 Democratic ballots were cast in the Second Ward. Tuesday, nearly 8,000 were asked for. A similar increase was noted throughout the ward heavily populated by Negroes.
The only victor among the Democratic candidates, however, was Edward M. "Mike" Sneed, who was elected Democratic committeeman of the Third Ward, thus becoming the first Negro to be chosen a member of the Democratic county central committee. Sneed won walking away from Earl B. Dickerson, nationally known for his activities in the Democratic party, and Major Adam E. Patterson, also a veteran Jeffersonian. The contest between Dickerson and Sneed was one of those high-brow and low-brow affairs in which the alleged low-brow whipped the alleged high-brow by more than three to one.

and Former Judge Albert B. George were Republican candidates. Haynes led by garnering 60,000 votes; Moseley was second with 55,000, and George brought up the rear with 50,000. The lowest victor was 45,000 votes ahead of Haynes, Richard Hill, Jr., a Democratic candidate, received only 35,000 votes.
Ziff Smacked Over Edgar G. Brown, endorsed by the regular Democratic organization for Congress, from the First (DePriest) district, was decisively defeated by Harry Baker, white independent Democrat. His nomination indicates either that the party organization of Brown was insincere, or that the party could not control the white Democratic vote. Baker has been a candidate against DePriest in the last two elections. In the first election, DePriest defeated him by 3,000 votes, and in the second, by 8,000 votes. Although the colored Democratic vote has increased, it is not believed that Baker is a serious threat to DePriest.
W. B. Ziff, advertising representative for many colored newspapers, who ran for Congress in the Second district, the seat vacated by Morton D. Hull, made a very poor showing, although he was supposed to have the endorsement of ex-Governor Len Small. Ziff's vote was so small that it was not recorded in most of the returns; the fight having narrowed down to a contest between P. H. Moynihan, the victor, and Edward Hess.
John Dewey, Nation's Foremost Educator To Address Washington NAACP Meet
Professor John Dewey, of Columbia University, foremost educator of the nation, internationally famous philosopher and author of "Human Nature and Conduct," "Democracy and Education," and many other books, has accepted an invitation to come to Washington in May and address the twenty-third annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Prof. Dewey, known throughout the civilized world as one of the foremost scholars and thinkers of the United States, is also a leader of the Conference for Independent Political Action.
Professor Dewey's acceptance of the invitation to address the N.A.A.C.P. is regarded as an unusual tribute to the importance which is being attached to this twenty-third annual conference held this year in the national capital. The presence of Professor Dewey on the N.A.A.C.P. program, together with such political figures as Senator Robert La Pollette, of Wisconsin, insurgent leader, and Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, independent Republican, and of such young Negro leaders as Abram Harris and George S. Schuyler, insures a thorough going and basic discussion of the most immediate problems American Negroes must face.
In recognition of the significance of the Washington gathering of the N.A.A.C.P., the Bachelor-Benedicts Club, a social organization of many years standing which includes many of Washington's leading citizens, has voted to sponsor a dance for the N.A.A.C.P. conference in the New Masonic Temple. The Bachelor-Benedict Club has departed from its established rule to confine its activities to members and immediate friends, in order to tender this affair to the N.A.A.C.P. All conference delegates are to be admitted as guests without charges. The dance will be held during conference week, on Thursday night, May 19.

In his introductory remarks, President Neilson said he knew of no organization evidencing so fine a quality of statesmanship in leaving out its work as the N.A.A.A.C.P. The sooner white people realize that treatment of the Negro will play a large part in the future social order, the wiser they will be, said Dr. Neilson.
On Wednesday, Mr. White conducted a number of classes in Smith College.
Peterson Hearing In Alabama Again Postponed To April 30
NEW YORK—Hearing in the case of Willie Peterson, twice tried, and convicted of murder of two young white women, in Birmingham, Alabama, has again been postponed to April 30.

The N.A.A.C.P. has contributed $500 to date and the aid of its National Legal Committee.
Social Rooms For Men Opened At Howard U.
Inaugurating a new program for the social activities for the men at Howard University, new quarters were opened last week in Clarke Hall, men's dormitories. The entire first floor of the building has been recently remodeled and furnished under the supervision of Albert I. Cassell, university architect. In the east wing of the building is an apartment for the social director with offices for student assistants, a spacious student lounge, reading room, and club room, all furnished in institutional style, with furniture of walnut, many pieces of which are upholstered in pig skin. The guest suite includes a reception room and bedrooms, and is located in the west wing for the accommodation of visiting parents, alumni and friends.
According to William B. West, dean of men, a social program has been designed to eliminate the former problem of off-campus activities for recreation, and will provide the men of the university facilities for association and culture such as is found in the union or commons of other institutions. Arthur O. Waller, graduate of Springfield College, is the director of social activities. Thomas Hawkins and Merrill Booker, seniors, are student assistants.

COLORED FUNERAL DIRECTORS NEED $300,000 CAPITAL
Five Casket Companies and Fluid Manufacturers Get Small Per Cent
JACKSON, Tenn. (ANP)—Speaking before one of the largest audiences ever assembled here, Monday night, R. R. Reed, founder and executive secretary of the Independent Funeral Directors' Association, declared that plans were being perfected to place $300,000 in support of the eight casket factories now benig operated by the group and the four embalming fluid and cosmetic companies.
Reed's address climaxed the third annual session of the Tennessee State Funeral Directors' Association which was largely attended by members from every section of the State. Practically every phase of the profession was discussed and efficient service was the key-note of the sessions.
Referring to the work of the national organization, Reed stated that after a bitter battle of eight years the Negro funeral directors were burying some ninety-eight percent of the Negroes who die annually. Through the work of the organization hundreds of youths have been employed to carry on the work necessary to direct the funerals of and the interment of the 150 who die each year.
The deplorable condition in connection with the work and progress of the group was emphasized in the lack of support given to the Negro casket factories and the

manufacturers of embalming fluids and cosmetics. The speaker pointed out that about $18,750,000 is expended each year for funerals and about five million is expended by funeral directors for various supplies. Regardless, however, of the fact that at Philadelphia is the Tooks Casket Company, at Waycross, Ga., is the Waycross Casket Company, at Memphis, the TriState Casket company, at Pensacola, Fla., is the West Florida Casket Company, and others distributed in other sections that less than $300,000 of the $5,000,000 has been spent with these concerns.
To the five manufacturers of embalming fluids and cosmetics, namely, the Favorite Chemical and Supply Company, at Piqua, Ohio; the Dr. Hall, Inc., at Chicago; the Arlington Fluid Company at New Orleans; the Redd and Porter Company at Springfield, Ohio; and the Charles Funeral Supply Company, goes less than $50,000 of the more than a million dollars spent by the funeral directors for supplies manufactured by them, according to Mr. Reed.
In urging support of these companies, Reed pointed out that it would create more jobs for the young men and women of the group.
"We owe this," said Reed, "to the racial group to which we belong and to the young men and women thereof. With the exception of the insurance companies,

Other speakers on the two program included J. F. Trent president of the State organization; Mrs. Goldie S. Tate, secretary; S. W. Quarles, Memphis; I. G. Murray, A. R. Wheeler, Knoxville; Robert Woodson, Paris; H. Hayes, Jr., Memphis; and W. H. McGavock, Nashville, Teen.

TEACHING AT NIGHT NOT "OUTSIDE JOB"
Ballou Leaves Evening School Work Off List Given To Auditor
Night school teaching in the system does not constitute "outside employment" for District of Columbia public school day teachers, it was brought out during the recent hearings before the House Subcommittee for the District on the 1933 appropriation bill.
In response to questions by Representative William P. Holiday of Illinois asking Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, whether he had yet listed the school system employees who are engaged in "outside work," Dr. Ballou replied he had provided that information to District Auditor Donovan. He pointed out, however, he did not include in the list the day school teachers who teach also at night.
Dr. Ballou told the committee public school teachers are engaged, "for instance, in choirs as singers in churches; they are engaged in private tuitions of pupils who come to them and activities of that sort." "The exception" Dr. Ballou explained, "is this: that the question was asked as to teachers engaged in outside remunerative occupations. We do not consider that evening schools are outside the school system. They are within the school system." Ballou added that the school authorities assumed the inquiring members of Congress "were concerned with the engagement of people in occupations that would bring them remuneration outside of public funds, and that is the basis on which we made our reply." Mr. Holaday said he would not consider day school teachers who worked in the evening classes within the
Home Statistics On Georgia Released By Census Bureau
(CNS)—Figures released by the Bureau of Census here, Wednesday, show 249,942 colored families in Georgia, having an average size of 3.34 as compared with the average size for native white families of 3.96. The greater number of these families, 235,149, were reported to have a homemaker, i.e., a woman member of the family responsible for the upkeep of the home. About two-fifths of these homemakers were reported gainfully employed, the largest single number of whom, 29,943, were listed as domestics. Only 218 were listed as office workers.
The number of owned non-farm homes by colored families was given as 29,988, and the rented non-farm dwellings as 102,743. The median value of the Negro owned non-farm homes was stated to be less than $1,000, and this median rental monthly on Negro dwellings was under $10 a month. In comparison the average value of non-farm homes owned by native whites was $4,009, and the average monthly rental paid by families in this class was $15.67.

BISHOP GRANT IS FREED BY COURT ON GIRL'S CHARGES
BISHOP GRANT IS FREED BY COURT ON GIRL'S CHARGES
Noted Clergyman Exonerated Of Being Father Of Woman's Son
GENEVA, Ala.—A jury in the Circuit Court here returned a verdict of not guilty in the case against Bishop R. A. Grant, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, here this week. Bishop Grant was accused of being the father of an illegitimate child. A warrant was sworn out for the clergyman several months ago by Miss Ollie Glass when the bishop failed to carry out his contract to pay the girl a sum of money. Bishop Grant sought to set in motion an order to invalidate the contract for the support of Miss Glass' young son, of whom she charged the bishop of being the father.
The case started Wednesday with County Solicitor A. A. Smith and the Honorable W. O. Mulkey prosecuting. The case created much interest throughout the country and a large number of both colored and white persons crowded the courtroom.
Miss Glass contended that Bishop Grant is the father of her baby and gave a vivid description of the association, the time, the place and agreements with the bishop. The minister denied the charge, but he admitted making a contract some months ago to the rate of the young woman $2,000 at the rate of $300 down and the balance in equal installments. Bishop Grant said he did this to preserve the church from a scandal.
John F. Cook Parent- Teachers Hold Unique Meet
A most unusual meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of the John F. Cook School was held on Tuesday, April 12, at 8:30 o'clock. The meeting was unique in that, instead of the large assembly heretofore held, it consisted of a series of gatherings in the various rooms of the building where each parent met the particular teacher of his children. The purpose of this new type of meeting was to bring the parents into closer touch with the workings of the modern classroom, in order that they might better understand the process of education through which modern children go.
In each classroom some new phase of the work was presented. Talks on modern trends of education, such as training for citizenship, supervised study and its value, etc., were given by the teachers, as well as lessons demonstrating new methods of teaching. These were followed by talks in which parents were the chief participants. From the standpoint of its practical value in the interchange of views between parent and teacher, and the increased understanding and interest on the part of the parents which will lead to greater co-operation on their part, the meeting proved the most successful of the year.
Special Meeting of A.M.E. Zion Conference Fetes
BALTIMORE, Md.—A special meeting of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Annual Conference was held in Pennsylvania Avenue A.M. E. Zion Church, Baltimore, Friday, April 15. Rev. J. W. Edwards, pastor; Bishop J. S. Caldwell, presiding.
The object of the meeting was to finish up the work of the conference for the quadrennium, and to collect balance due $ \mathrm{o_{n}} $ delegates' expenses to the General Conference which convenes in Pittsburgh, Pa. Wednesday, May 4.
The Bishop reviewed the work, done in the conference during the past four years and commended presiding elders and pastors for their loyalty and unstinted support. He also spoke of the general outlook of the conference and gave some timely suggestions for future progress and development. Most of the ministers paid out their full assessment. The total amount collected was $617.99.
After the adjournment of the meeting all were invited to the dining hall of the church, where a quadrennial testimonial and dinner were given in honor of Bishop and Mrs. Caldwell.

CHOP SUEY MADE WITH RABBIT
1 rabbit or 2 to 3 cups shredded cooked meat.
3 tbs. butter or other fat.
2 cups shredded onion.
1 cup shredded green pepper
2 cups shredded celery.
2 cups bean sprouts.
2 cups broth.
Since the Chinese use chopsticks to eat with, instead of a fork and knife, their food is generally cut up in the kitchen in narrow thin shreds which can be twisted around these primitive eating implements. The dishes of Chinese origin best known to Americans are "chop sueey" and "chow mein." The former is said to be unknown in China but to have originated in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. The latter has some of the same ingredients as chop sueey but is served on a bed of fried noodles instead of rice.
Although they can be bought in some citigs, in most localities we do not have all the materials for these dishes, such as water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts. Canned bean sprouts may be bought, or you may sprout your own beans, using mung beans for the purpose. Brazil nuts, toasted almonds, or raw Jerusalem artichokes or radishes sliced thin make very good substitutes for the water nuts, and celery gives somewhat the texture of the bamboo shoots in chop suey. Any mild-flavored, palatable meat can be used. Pork and chicken are especially delicate, and so is rabbit. Cooked lamb and beef can be shredded fine and used, too, so chop suey is a good way to use up meat leftovers when the quantity is small. Soy sauce can usually be bought, bottled, in grocery stores. In the recipe below from the Bureau of Home Economics cooked rabbit meat is used.
If any dessert is desired, serve crystalized or preserved ginger, kumquats, gingered pears, candied

1 cup shredded green pepper.
2 cups shredded celery.
2 cups bean sprouts.
2 cups broth.
Wipe the rabbit with a damp cloth, place on a rack in a kettle, barely covered with hot water, add one-half teaspoon salt, and partly cover the kettle. Simmer until the meat is tender, or for about one and a half to two hours for an older rabbit, and let cool in the broth. Drain and cut the meat from the bones in thin strips. Melt the fat in a skillet, add the onion and green pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Then add the meat and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the meat is slightly browned. Add the celery and bean sprouts, and the broth mixed with the cornstarch or flour; cover, and cook gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the almonds, which have been broken into halves, and the soy sauce, and add salt if needed. The soy sauce contains so much salt that often more is not needed. Serve with hot boiled rice.
Chop suey is a suitable way to serve the more mature rabbits or to use leftover cooked meat.
Superior Baked Dessert of Bananas and Rhubarb
Signs of spring include homegrown rhubarb in almost every locality. The housewife brightens over the chance to give her family a fruit flavor that has been missing from the menu for many months.

as canned lima beans, pork and beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, peanut butter, cocoa, baking powder, tea, cooking oil, vinegar, evaporated milk, cooking molasses and sirup, it pays to buy a larger size containing equivalent to two or more small ones. Evaporated milk is a good illustration. The week's supply of 23 pounds will cost $2.40 in single "baby" or 6-ounce cans, whereas the same amount of milk in pound cans can be bought, singly, for $1.69. By getting the larger can 71 cents is saved on the week's order. Of course even greater savings are often made on dozen lots or cases.
Read labels carefully. Compare the weight stated on the label with the price asked. Note the grade of any product as stated on the label. Frequently a cheaper grade will serve the purpose as well as the more expensive one, as in buying canned salmon for a fish loaf, or more expensive one, as in buying salad.
Probably no parents who can spare the space would dispute the advantages of giving a child a room of his own. In large families two children often have to share one room, but even then things can be arranged so that each child has a definite area for his own belongings—certain drawers in a common bureau, certain hooks in the closet, and so on. If playthings can not be kept in the bedroom, and no separate playroom is available, then a corner of the living room or dining room can be designated as the children's own place and provided with storage shelves for their things.
The most desirable plan and the one that affects the child's later habits most importantly, as well as his immediate peace of mind and development in self-help, is to give him a room alone as early as possible. For this reason, by the time the first child is toddling about, many young parents seek to live in a house rather than an apartment, so that they can have an additional room and separate the living and sleeping quarters of the home. A house with only one extra bedroom provides a place for the little one.

of acidity such as rhubarb or lemon juice can give. The recipe is from the bureau of home economics.
1 quart rhubarb cut in 2-inch pieces.
3 bananas. $\frac{1}{2}$ cup sugar
2 tbs. butter. $\frac{1}{4}$ tsp. salt.
Select tender rhubarb, wash well, and cut in two-inch pieces without removing the red skin. Peel and scrape the bananas and split them lengthwise. Grease a shallow baking dish, cover it with a layer of the cut rhubarb. lay the bananas on top and add the remaining rhubarb. Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the fruit and dot with the butter. Cover and bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes, or until the fruit is tender. Remove the top and continue to cook for one-half hour, or until the syrup has thickened. Serve hot or cold.
Ways To Save in Small Quantity Buying
The housewife who has neither cash nor storage space to permit large quantity buying can, nevertheless, save money on her weekly market list if she keeps three things in mind:
Many kinds of food (cereals especially) are very much cheaper in bulk than in package; large cans of milk or vegetables are cheaper than small; and labels tell something the housewife needs to know, especially about the quantity in the can.
On many kinds of goods the price in bulk or by the pound is less than the price in package. For example.

the Bureau of Home Economics checked a market list and found the following prices quoted on cereals: Oatmeal, in bulk, .03 a pound; in package, .065 a pound; hominy grits, .025 and .07; rice, .055 and .105; macaroni, .065 and .125; cornmeal, .0275 and .0375. The savings on weekly supplies of cereals on the low-cost market list made possible by bulk buying were: 14 to 21 cents on oatmeal, 20 to 30 cents on rice, 18 to 27 cents on hominy grits, and so on.
The larger can or package almost always is a better buy than the small one. It has been found by the bureau that on such goods

IN Breyers Ice Cream you get the nourishment of rich cream—the energy value of pure sugar—the wholesomeness of choice fruits, nuts and other natural flavorings. And these ingredients are scientifically balanced to increase their FOOD value and HEALTH value. In addition—what other food is so delicious and gives you so much real enjoyment as Breyers Ice Cream? Serve it as a regular part of your menu. You'll find it real health economy.
To encourage self-help the child's clothes and miscellaneous belongings must be placed within easy reach. Children's size chests of drawers are very useful at this stage. The drawers should slide well and should be fitted with handles that are easy to grasp. The closet should have low hooks and a pole for clothes hangers suspended low enough for the child to reach it. This not only keeps the closet in order but teaches the child to take care of his clothing.
Even a 2-year-old can learn to put his possessions away, provided his room is fitted with broad, low shelves that are easy to reach. "Put it away" and "hang it up" are features of a pleasant game at first, and a wise mother takes the time to repeat these playful injunctions frequently enough to establish habits of orderliness and neatness.
"Simplicity and sanitation should be the keynotes in planning children's rooms," says a committee report of the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. "Floors and their coverings, walls, woodwork, furniture and curtains should be washable. For decoration a few carefully chosen pictures which can be changed frequently are preferable to the elaborate nursery-rhyme friezes and wall-papers often shown for the rooms of very young children. The latter are undesirable not only from the standpoint of art, but because they tend to distract the attention of the child during the period when he should be taking his nap."
Any room intended for the child's use should, of course, be as comfortable as other rooms in the house. That is, it should be properly heated and ventilated and sufficiently cool in hot weather. It should be large enough to permit space for active play. If small rugs are used, they should have nonskid underpads to prevent accidents. Child specialists of the Bureau of Home Economics, of the Department of Agriculture, make some practical suggestions on other details of furnishing the child's room.
Choose simple, bright-colored curtains to give a cheerful tone to the room. Often the children may be allowed to select the color. Make the curtains sill-length so they will be out of the way of toy shelves and will not be a temptation for the small child to handle.

SOCIETY
The past week has been one filled with a variety of social occasions of more than usual interest. Last Friday the Derby dance with its usual brilliant company of guests—and Saturday the Alpha Kappa Alpha play presented before a thoroughly representative audience of Washingtonians who welcome the beginning of the usual spring presentations of amateur theatricals. Sunday, the more serious minded were present at the Sunday Forum of the Mu-So-Lit Club to hear Mrs. Caroline Bond Day speak on anthropology. Tuesday was the occasion of two highly significant social affairs: the opening of the exhibition of paintings by Valentin de Zubiaurre at the Howard Art Galleries by His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador, Senor Juan Francisco de Gardenas; and the annual banquet of the Oldest Inhabitants held at the Calvary Parish Hall. Many of the city's literary people, and there are scores of them, were guests of the Literature Lovers at their annual banquet last Thursday; and a large number of others attended the recital of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, last Friday. All in all it was a busy and delightful week.
That the week will continue interesting seems assured. Tonight the Southeast House is having its second birthday anniversary, and many are expected to attend the celebration. Also tonight and until early hours, Saturday morning, Omega Psi Phi will be host to its guests at its annual spring formal. And there are other affairs too numerous to mention.

Dr. Dismukes Writes Plainly On Howard University and Its Problems
To the Press:
As a loyal son of Howard—a graduate from her College of Liberal Arts, from her Medical School; and, from the Resident Internship of her affiliated institution, Freedmen's Hospital, and, lastly, as one whose name appears on the bronze plaque in the rotunda of her new medical building, as one of her fifty "Pioneers" who heard her cry in her hour of need and "in concerted philanthropy" by "their generous giving inspired the movement which successfully established the first endowment for instruction in the school of medicine," permit me to make a few inquiries and set forth a few observations through your columns.
To us sons and daughters who came along in slightly earlier days, and who went forth from her sacred walls imbued with "That Good Old Howard Spirit; and, with a neverdie determination to make good her name—she is very very dear. To us little fellows who have gone out into the hedges and highways, some to proclaim the Gospel in ministerial cloth, some as disciples of Blackstone to practice the law, some as pedagogues to teach the youth of our blighted race and some to grapple with the intricacies of competition in the commercial world; and, some, like the writer, to build hospitals, she is sacred and all these things we have done in her name. To us she is more than a mere aggregation of physical structures nobly silhouetted against Washington's northwestern skies. She is more than a mere collection of salaried men and women appointed to perform tasks of teaching. Yea, she is even more than the galaxy of eminent humans who, under the designation of Trustees, are chosen to be the ultimate dictators of her affairs. And, may I add, she is more than any one individual—even a President. If she is not all of this, then we who love her are sadly disillusioned.
As Loyal Children
As a matter of fact it is because she is all that we set forth above that we ask, as loyal children to a parent, why all this unwholesome publicity that we see stretched across the front pages of newspapers? What has happened or is happening to disturb the tranquility of our dear old alma matter? We see by the papers that charges are being hurled and counter charges thrown back by those of her official body in a manner very much to our disliking and very unhealthful to her wellbeing. We naturally ask who is the guilty party? What is going on under cover or otherwise to bismirch the fair name of which we proudly sing "on hilltop high" so beautifully and picturesquely reared against the "western sky." To whom may we go to know the truth? One is told that it is useless to seek it from the hirelings, for though they are "on the inside and know the truth", because of a gag rule and their heads they dare not divulge. And a ready talkative rabble who would spread it, cannot get to it—so there you are. But surely there must be a Balm-in-Gilead somewhere. Truely there must be some way to arrive at the truth of this internal strife which is making our beloved university an unpleasant cynosure for our loyal and supporting white friends who are already all too few. Is it not possible to find the offending "right eye" and pluck it out; or, "them" out, as the case may be. If incompatibilities are the cause of unrest and discontent, why not pluck out the incompatibles without so much hue and cry? And if there is such an one who, being incompatible with her progress, he should of his own accord get out.

By H. Dodford Dismukes, B.S.
coin uttered the famous words of his memorable Second Inaugural Address "With malice toward none and with fairness to all, and as I see the right as God gives me to see the right." The clarion call is—save Howard. Let not that type of ambition which assassinated a Caesar and endangered the perpetuation of the most outstanding and most advantageously situated seat of learning toward which rising Negro youth can look.
Being unarmed with really first hand information regarding the details of the much discussed controversy and having only that which is given as common news through the press, the writer is unable to dissect the issue to arrive at the etiological stimulus. He can not, as he would in a cadaver room, seek and find the causative factor in an unaccountable death, would that he could. He can only make these inquiries and hazard a few observations. Let us consider several phases separately to see if the trouble can be isolated to any particular one of them. In order of respect then it seems proper to do the president the first honor.
"Mordecai"
It was the writer's privilege to be a Railway Postal Clerk on the old Atlanta & New Orleans Railway Post Office, with headquarters in Atlanta at the same time that Dr. Johnson was a student at Morehouse College—(or perhaps it was still called Atlanta Baptist College)—and had many friends who were also his friends. To those of us who hung around good old "Neal's Pharmacy" on West Mitchell street, he was regarded as a most upstanding and clean cut young fellow, to whom his friends referred as "Mordecai." The old gang—Sam Usher, Charley James, Joo Bibb, now editor of the Chicago Whip, Anton Graves, Bob Jones, Boots and others are pleasant memories to me; I know they must be to him. Well, from then on, while I had only a causal introduction to him then, I have watched his progress with some degree of secret pride. When the writer decided to cast his lot in West Virginia, he found him there transformed into an influential power for good in the state and a pulpitee of rare attainments. When he was chosen as the "First Negro President of Howard University," as the first announcement that I saw gave it, I rejoiced within me and prayed his achievements there would be the crowning capstone of his career and an epoch of glory for Howard University. I treat this application to him as would a bucolic for I wish to be human to drive home a human truth. Let it be understood that I direct no charges nor lay no blame at his door—I am seeking truth. I say here now, and I am going to say again further on in this discussion in making another application, every man is honest to me and is a gentleman, until proven otherwise—mere rumor is not proof.
But as a loving child of Howard University; as one man to another; and, as one good Baptist to another I say to Dr. Johnson, "vindicate yourself." If he has been guilty of a laxity which has given rise to trouble, if he has made a few mistakes—(and he is human liable as any human to err)—I say "if" such has been the case, say so—he'll be forgiven. There's not so much harm in making a mistake as there is in making the same mistake twice. Again I say "if" the president feels that his mistakes are unreparable, there is still hope, for I commend him to the immortal words of Tennyson who said in his matchless "In Memoriam."
"I held with him who sings.
To one clear harp of divers tone;
That men rise on stepping stones Of their dead selves to higher things."
It Seems Unfair
Such charges that we see in the papers of pay-roll padding smacks of irregularities on someone's part; open and evident partiality in appointing friends to created positions lends thought to unfairness; disregard of the rights and feelings of those who sacrificed in the early dark days that Howard might live at all sounds like imgratitude, whisperings of imgraturity "is", in the words of a famous 7 p.m. black-faced comedian "Bad", while the common rumor that the trend is to make a $P_{D}$ D. degree the only portal of entry for teachers seems fallacious and unbelievable. What is this immorality that is spoken of? There can be no excuse for such as that being condoned. The sons and
THE W. SHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1931
daughters of any large family must of necessity bear some of the stigma where there are wayward parents, and we children of H. U. are no exception to the rule, for it is written in Holy Writ that "The sins of the father shall be visited upon the children of the third and fourth generation." It is imperative then that we clarify that point and do so quickly in justice to the school of which we sing.
Just a moment to study the Ph. D. rumor, since it has become such a laughing matter in the street. The writer wishes it clearly understood that he goes on record as approving of such a degree whenever it is possible to obtain one. Some of his acquaintances have them and wear them well. In fact he knows of a scientist who rather dignifies the degree, instead of the degree dignifying him, meaning that in his case the honors involved accrue to the degree rather than to the man. But the writer has none and would not know what to do with it if he had it. And he fears greatly that a great many who do have them have a rather hard time convincing others that they do possess this high mark of distinction. The foolishness of such propaganda, if it does exist, can easily be seen. Suppose we had not accepted Pasteur's and Jenner's gift to world science because of their lack of degrees; we would have no treatment for Hydrophobia today when maddogbitten; nor, would we be successfully vaccinating ourselves and our children today against the ravages of small-pox. Harvey could not have given<sub>n</sub> us our knowledge of the circulation of the human blood, nor could Von Loosenhoeck have left the microscope through which to study the infinitesimally small life structures today. Lincoln would have never seen the White House, nor could Booker Washington have left to posterity that which stands at Tuskegee as mute testimony to his greatness. While left behind him is a horde of holders of this distinctive mark that are known only by the noise they make and by the number of really big and worthwhile men they have the nerve to attack.
In the words of Dr. Watson, when shown by Sherlock Holmes the simplicity of a given case—"Marvelous, Marvelous" how some individuals who have selfishly devoted all their lives, all their earthly goods and all they can beg and borrow to beautifying themselves and training their own minds, garnishing the whole with a Ph.D. can feel that a struggling world is indebted to them for their profiting efforts. But more marvelous still is it that the majority of this group of individuals, once they have this distinction, right away don glasses that are transparent only for those of their same ilk and wholly opaque for humble souls like the butcher, the baker and the candlestick-maker. It seems never to occur to them that the very mills which grind out such degrees would wither and die if they had to get their support from such as they and that were it not for the contributions, endowments, foundations and so forth of Carnegies, Rockefellows, Edisons, Fords, Hills, Harrimans and others to whom such embellishments mattered not a darn, there would be no places from which to obtain these Ph.D.'s. And it seems that a majority of them spend all their powers of ingenuity and the rest of their natural lives in target practice at some less fortunate, but more worthwhile, brother who has transformed his energies into tangible usefulness in building crossing bridges for the youth of his blighted race who must come after him.
Donowa and Gough
Just a word about the Donna case. If, as rumor has it, this young man was settled in the location of his choice with a growing practice fairly well established, it was unfair to hire him away with fanciful promises; and then summarily dismiss him because he exerted his rights or maintained his manhood. If this is the case, then by the application of the Golden Rule he is entitled to be re-imbursed for the embarrassment he suffered and financial loss he sustained. Nothing mysterious about that; he surely must have been given stipulated duties to perform and the latitude of authority becoming his station. And as systematic as things were claimed to have been, surely it must have been in writing, hence the truth there is accessible. A little sincere and impartial inquiry can somewhat different. Here the papers issue statements purported as statements of facts. Well, the evidence here surely is not difficult to obtain; and, if the evidence establish the guilt, fire him. I would say the same if he were my brother. The name of Howard is at stake and we must sit at nothing that is fair to save her name. The rumor that there is not a branch of the university that is not having some sort of trouble certainly does not sound encouraging. If the whole; or, rather, any part of the whol., is in hot water, and as the rumors go, their troubles are all with the president, then I say again to the president—
check up on himself; bigger men than he have had it to do.
Emmett Scott
Now why drag Dr. Emmett Scott into it? Is that a fitting reward for his years of loyalty and contact as Secretary-Extraordinary to the greatest Negro of modern times—Booker T. Washington? Is that deserving of one who has creditably filled many highly responsible Government positions? Is that very comforting to one who was found highly fitted during the greatest war the world has ever known to guide the destiny of his fourteen millions people? Why did Dr. DuBois wait until Howard's present unrest to ply his questions, to which Dr. Scott had no part? Is it the venting of spleen against him for somebody else? If his office had warranted such attacks—and he has been there almost thirteen years—why wait until somebody sets a "ruckus" to shoot at him? The writer believes in fair play impartially and freely applied. These questions do not attract the attention of those of us who will give our last full measure of devotion for Howard from the main issue. Then, too, the man is bonded; he has to report to others for his stewardship who, in turn, have full access to his every official action—the they have discovered nothing to howl about. He would have to possess the magical and deceptive powers of a Houdini to have jugged the finances of the university and at the same time fool the Interior Department and the private highly trained auditors who review his official activities periodically. My advice to Dr. DuBois is that this Howard affair is sort of a "family affair"; surely he knows how tickle it is for outsiders to middle into family spats. Then I doubt seriously whether a Fiskite, in this crisis, can reason, properly in terms of Howard; nothing but the unadulterated good old Howard Spirit can rise to such an unusual test as now confronts us. Outsiders can only hinder and delay our arrival at the truth by diverting attention from the course. In Dr. Scott's reply appearing in the press she says he is the "residuary legatee of Dr. Washington's enemies." To this I say he should consider it an honor to be any sort of legatee of that eminent personage, knowing him as the writer did. Booker Washington Did Things; and, to those who have the nerve to criticize him severely, the writer answers in Booker's own words "I can not listen to who You Are, until you show me What You Have Done."
An Investigation
Now a word about this Investigation about which so much is being said and so many rumors afoot. It is too bad that such a thing has to be in the administration of our first Negro president. But if it has to be, and the purpose of it is to find the party or parties guilty of all this unwholesome disturbance I say "Lay on McDuff and damn be he who cries 'Enough.'"
We will not touch the Medical School in this discussion—it is too dear to the writer, for there would be a treatment of that branch alone longer than all that has already been said. It would involve friends—some dead with broken hearts—some alive, but mute. It would necessitate bringing in Good Ole "Mac." What a wizard he was when away back and up through the dark days, without means or men, he managed to run a medical school; and, present at commencement every year a creditable graduating class from each department. If he did it with crucible tools he had then, it is impossible to predict what he would have done with the present modern outfit—but that's another story. To treat the Medical School the writer would have to inquire why, when he officially opened, in Howard's name, on August 16, 1929, a hospital named for and dedicated to his mother, nearly every other medical school (including white ones) sent words of some kind except Howard University; and, too, it was proclaimed by all who saw it to be "The Most Complete and Most Modernly Equipped Privately Owned Negro Hospital in the World." The only representative of Howard was Dr. Willard Lane who happened to be in a neighboring town and ran down out of friendship for the writer.
Recapitulation
Now to recapitulate. We are heartily in favor of progressiveness, but let it be consistent. We are in favor of thoroughness, but let it be thoroughness all the way and in every sense. We are in favor of rewarding merit, but not at the expense of previously proven proficient seniority. We believe in helping friends, but not at the expense of right and loyalty. We believe in filling positions and posts with the highest trained talent possibly obtainable, but not make it fanaticism. We believe that as loyal and true Howardites, as sincere outside well-wishers; or, as merely curious 'ookers-on, that steps should be taken to preserve the name of our university. Then let us go to the bottom of the real trouble in this thing and Know The Truth. Let us find the Real source of this trouble; and, once we Do Find It, let us do Our Full Duty By That Source. For dear old bleeding Howard cries out, for help as it were, saying—"Save Me, Save Me!" and her cries are being heard in the innermost recesses of the hearts of her children.

WHY SHOULD TEACHERS HOLD TWO JOBS?
In the hearing before the House Subcommittee for the
District on the 1933 Appropriation Bill, it was brought out
by Dr. Ballou, Superintendent of Public Schools, and agreed
to by the committee, that night school teaching does not
constitute “outside employment” for the day. school teachers.
We differ with Dr. Ballou and the committee, It is our
understanding that behind the prohibiting of teachers from
engaging in any other gainful occupation after school hours
is the theory that by so doing they will inpair their ability
to best serve the school the following day, It is our under-
standing that from time to time the teaching hours in the
day have been shortened and shortened on this same theory
—always sponsored by the teachers themselves. If this
theory be true—if efficiency is reduced by night work after
a day’s work—why would not working at teaching be just
as harmful as working at printing, preaching or plaster-
ing? The teachers seem to be blowing hot and cold—always
clamoring for shorter hours, and at the same time clamor-
ing for after hours when further pay is involved. Is night
teaching a gainful occupation or is it not? If it is, then
it should ‘be banned iike any other gainful occupation.
The answer to this will be “it requires teachers to
teach”. No one would gainsay that it didn’t. But are
there not five times as many qualified teachers out of work
(on the waiting list as well as anxious list) as there are
teaching?
Aside from the fact that night teaching is an addi-
tional. “gainful eccupation” for a day teacher, as a reason
for abolishing this dual employment for a selected few, the
unemployment situation would certainly be a further good
reason for so doing. Every agency of government and busi-
ness is striving to. by some means or another make a more
even distribution of employment, except of our school
system. Some exception might be made of the few admin-
istrative officers, but there is positively no excuse for the
continuance of this system under the present economic con-
ditions of tnemployment—not to mention the teachers’ own
claim “we work too long now.” 1933 should see a change.
It’s up to the tax payers te take the lead in this reform
leading to a apace distribution of employment for the
citizen.
aa THe DEPRIEST NOMINATION
Ganeypeerndll Qader DePricet'of the First Co
ict of lind: Bae eet. 3s ae ok SP eae eee ee
District of Ilindis, was nominated by the Republicans at
the primary election held in his district last week. He de-
feated Louis B. Anderson, who served several years as al-
derman in Chicago. He made the mistake of his life in
runaing against: DePriest. He lost everything he tried for
in the primaries.
This is the third time the Republicans have nominated
Mr. DePriest for Congress and since the Democrats nomi-
nated the same white man who ran against him in 1928 and
in 1930, it is safe to say that Mr. DePriest will be elected
in November for his third term in Congress. In 1928, tue
DePriest majority was more than 3,000 and in 1930 it was
more than 8,000. What will his majority be this year?
The news of Mr. DePriest’s success meets with generar
approval of <he race the country over. He has profited by
his experience here and his contact with the country’s law
makers and politicians have benefited him and he is in a
position to be of greater service to the race since he is the
enlaNcere in Congress.
ir, DePriest has traveled the country over since his
elevation to his high position and has contact with the race
at large. While he represents the first district of Mlinois,
where his allegiance to the voters belong; he has been big
enough to try and represent the race in Congress. More
power to the Congressman from Chicago.
DO NOT CUT SALARIES
One of the worst things that cay happen to Washing-
ton and the government employees, is to cut the salaries
or Jay off th> employees. ‘I'he government is the source and
the guige for econonve progress and success. It is the life
of Waslirgtor. If the budget cut affects ten per cent salary
cut or tim+ ou: without pay, industrial plants will follow
the governm-nt’s lead and the result will be that next win-
ter wil witre + harder times than we experienced this
winter.
It is reported that 36,802 people will have to lose a-
day-a-week, if time out is decided upon and if salaries are
reduced, 3,473 may be dropped.
What the Government should do to meet this budget
deficiency and bring back economic normaley, is to issue the
$5,000,000,000 bonds and use this money in rehabilitating
this country.
Instead cf the government cutting its employees’
salaries, taking money from the people, it should be placing
more money in their hands.
The government is making a big mistake in placing its
bonds and those of states and municipalities on the exempt
tax list. As a result, big investors have withdrawn capital
from industrial concerns and placed millions of dollars in
the tax exempt bonds. All of these bonds should be equal
with railroad and eral bonds. While it may make the
government pay a little more interest on its bonds, it would
make the holders pay more income tax to the government.
‘The falling off of this income tax is the hig item in budget
deficiency. Instead of making the rich, who receive all of
benefits and big returns from the Government paying

in reading the papers this week
1 find a purported reply of the
Elder Michaux to my discussion
recently regarding the manner of
his Sunday broadeasts from the
Chureh of God here. Inasmuch as
he did not accord me the courtesy
of a copy of this release but, in-
stead hastened forthwith to_ pub-
lic print, it must be considered
rather in the eatezory of cheap
newspaper advertising than as an
“open letter” to me. Thus. this
analysis must necessarily follow
what appeared in’the papers rath-
er than upon the original text. Of
course the manuscript did event-
ually come to my attention, but I
shall ignore in most part “such
characteristics as the small “‘N” in
Negro and pay only ‘passing atten-
tion to other elements. suggesting
“foreign” manutacture, All in-all,
in spite of its contradictions and
vitrol, the reply is not without
some ‘illumination, even though it
ldenies all things and confirms
| everything denied,
The Elder brands as falsc a
charge thct he accused Negro pro-
fessionals of profit-secking around
churches; he brandishes his “who-
soever will” and names God as
authority, emphasizing. the mixed
racial complexion of his constieu-
ency; he is at perfect case in liv-
ing a $200 per hour rate for broad-
cast purposes over station WJSV,
and boasts of $500 and $1,000
checks drawn by) this organization
to, pay for his ‘entertainments,
thus being under obligation neith-
er to the writer nor the station;
he publishes apparently with im-
measurable delight a letter of in-
dorsement from a klansman, who
also says he is an “elder” in an-
other denomination as well as a
member of tie U.S. military ser-
vice. he heaps ridicule upon. what
he calls a self-appointed Gospel
critic, speaking bitterly of a “lead-
er” he has been first to ordain,
and climaxes with @ metaphor in
:whi¢h comparison is made between
;the, brilliancy of the sun and: a
star.
In the same ‘breath denial is
mad- of accusing Negro profes-
sional folk of gain-sesking about
the flock, he admits it and then
tries to explain it away by saying
the reference was’ intended for
“all races.” Unless the Negro. is
not a part of “races,’ apparently
this suggests an effort to hide be-
hind spiritual subtefuge until the
storm of wrath is overblown. The
truth of it all is, if my letter had
been carefully analyzed it would
not have revealed more than a
statement as given to me by
authority which I have no dispo-
sition to question. If the Elder
now is repentant, however, that’s
something else. Let's hope so.
With due reverence and much
hesitancy I approach the mooted
and abused question of God's com-
mission to preach. Though for-
bidden to “judge,” we are assured
that “by their fruit ye shall know
them.” But supposing the Elder
is commissioned to preach to “wao-
Soever will,” what does a co-racial
mixture under his tutelage argue?
Does the fact tinat white people
“join” with black at his shrine
prove that he is infalliable, that
he is right—that he would not
modify his program? Hardly.
Around here certain clubs are
variedeolored nightly, and in the
vilest of city crimes’ all races in-
|variably are federated. There are
| few places of amusement at which
| white folk are not welcomed alike.
Why then should his be any ex.
ception? Intermingling of the
races is not novel and is not neces.
sarily indicative of spiritual unc-
tion, ‘
The facility and readiness with
which the Elder names the broad.
cast rates over the station which
he uses, might be alculated to
create some suspicion if it is
known that another ciurch broad-
casting over the same station re-
fused to disclose terms made it on
the grounds of business ethics;
and a call to another station re-
vealed that only the man in charge
of that part of the work could
xive rates or suggest availiability
of the time-space. Of course for
| his otter station, not so for Elder
Michaux, He knows there is no
violation of anything involved, and
he can not only give out rates but
also insure the “gladness” of that

James S. Vance, reported owner
of that station, speak! It is in-
deed difficult here to tell-just whe
is at the microphone.
Of course when it comes to
“checking” it out in large: denomi-
nations to the radio station, that
proves nothing; except possibly
the prevalence ef ‘ignorance and a
lust ‘for frivolity, in this so-called
Christian land. The Mississippi
River “checks” water from, three-
fourths of the United States, but
it serves merely as agency between
its tributaries and the Gulf of
Mexico. Until it reaches the Gulf,
though, the water is the’ big
river's, To say rational” people
‘are silly enough ‘to contribute
largely enough to enable ae
“check” over seventy-two, thou-
sands of dollars annually to ad-
yertising of this character iS a
likel on the intellect. But I know
the good Elder mus’ haye observ-
ed the deserepaney in his figures.
I understand he broadcasts seven
times weekly, one-hour each, At
$200 per hour thiz would amount
to. $1,400, According to his own
claim his cheeks are for $500 and
$1,000, the larger even not being
enough to pay for one week's
broadcast. If he says this is not
the rate given him, then why
should 1 be required fo pay more?
Ix this explained in the fact that
he appeals over the air for a mil-
lion dollar: “to make this the most
powerful on earth,” and his re-
peated emphasis upon the station
call letters during his services?
Publishing testimonial letters
mean but little, though T have
some, too, I perhaps will have
printed “for the record” shortly.
But what a twist of irony in the
letter he published boasting of Kn
Klux indorsement! Although an
avowed klansmen, which, accord-
ing to his own oath of allegiance
means anti-Negro, the invisible
communitant grasps the Elder’s
hand without hesitancy and says,
“brother.” “Brother” —_ what?
“Brother ku klux?” If obsessed
with such urge for brotherhood,
why not the white minister start
a reformation in his own State,
Florida? In that State are scores
of Negro churches. he could. join;
or, better still, being himself
igider” of, a. white, congregation,
he might take or. a few of his col-
ored “brethren.” But when I read
hia T gin, indebted fo one: paast,
bility and one reminiscene: First,
that publication of this ku klux
letter might be of Nordic psycho-
logy. for if left to his own judg-
ment this is the last kind of testi-
mony brother Michaux would in-
troduce in defense of his. conduct
in a Negro newspaper; and sec-
ondly, there is in my mind a re-
collection of a report some years
ago to the effect that a Negro
auxiliary to that outlawry K.K.K.
was proposed if not actually initi-
ated to further pull the wool over
the eyes of the race.
That the author of this letter
was a white minister could well
have been left unsaid. The revival
of the old ku klux klan just after
the World War was by a white
“minister” in Atlanta, Ga. And
supposing further he is a military
officer—what about -the lynching
case now being tried. in Hawaii?

his race for that year,
James Weldon Johnson
As teacher, writer, poet, critic
and diplomat, James Weldon John-
son ranks among the outstanding,
but he has broken rank and ‘leaps
ahead when the Negro National
Anthem is considered.
James Weldon Johnson was born
in’ Jacksonville, Fla,, 1871, where
he attended the grammar’ school.
He attended Atlanta University
where he received the A.B. Degree
in 1894 and A.M, in 1904. During
his leisure time, he studied law and
was the first colored man to be
admitted to the bar in Florida.
From 1899 to 1906 he and his
brother, J. Rosamond Johnson col-
dabarated in erting for ‘musical

were published during this period.
“The Book of American Negro
Poetry,” “God's Trombones” and
“Fifty Years and Other Poems.”
Asa result of his excellent work,

whieh is being conducted by the
Urban League, nationally, during

At the present writing, despite
the intensive political campaign
interest; the publicity campaigns
of the fraternal, religious and pro-
test organizations, there is no topic
before the American Negro that is
so worthy of his serious thought
as the theme of Vocational Oppor-

nomic basis of all other efforts will
have about as much force as ex-
cessive steam, being able to “pop-

calling on others to do something.
One can hardly pick up a paper
these days without reading that in
some community, colored help has
‘been replaced by others. It is not
‘only one ‘or two inefficient em-

is being replaced.

BACK TO THE FARM BILL PROVIDES $10,000,000
Sec'y of Labor May Lease Land, Provide Living Quarters And Transportation
Congressman Black, of the 5th District of New York, introduced two bills in the House "to encourage the utilization of farming opportunities by certain destitute or unemployed persons."
"That the Secretary of Labor is hereby authorized to advance opportunities to destitute or unemployed persons to engage in agricultural pursuits in which such persons have sufficient experience to so afford reasonable assurance of earning a livelihood and paying for necessary land. For such purpose the Secretary of Labor, through the Employment Service of the Department of Labor, and the Federal Farm Loan Board are authorized to co-operate in bringing to the attention of such persons information as to lands available for cultivation and purchase, and information as to obtaining loans through Federal land banks for the purchase of such lands and for other purposes under the provisions of the Act of July 17, 1916, entitled 'An Act to provide capital for agricultural development, to create standard forms of investment based upon farm mortgages, to equalize rates of interest upon farm loans, to furnish a market for United States bonds, to create Government depositories and financial agencies for the United States, and for other purposes,' as amended; but no loans shall be made to such persons except under conditions and circumstances assuring that the lands securing such loans are to be employed by the borrowers in raising diversified crops principally for local consumption. "Sec. 2. The Secretary of Labor is authorized to take such other steps and make such arrangements as shall be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act and to make such regulations as shall be necessary to effect the purposes of this Act, but all regulations relating to loans shall be made as provided in the said Act of July 17, 1916, as amended.
"Sec. 3. Any appropriation for the Employment Service of the Department of Labor is hereby authorized to be used by that service in the administration of this Act." He asks that the sum of $10,000,000 be authorized and expended by the Secretary of Labor. The object of the bill is to provide for persons who were formerly engaged in agricultural pursuits and are now located in towns and cities of the United States. The bill authorizes "the Secretary of Labor to lease abandoned farm land and to provide suitable living quarters thereon; furnish transportation to such lands; supply seeds and farming equipment; and to take such other steps as may be necessary; for carrying out the purpose of the act."
The operation of this act will give hundreds of men an opportunity to return to the farm, and at least make a decent living. "Back to the farm" should allure many unemployed men existing in any number of the Northern cities. Several hundred could leave Washington for this purpose.

C.M.E. CONFERENCE ADOPT SCOTTSBORO RESOLUTION
Channing Tobias, New Howard Trustee, Makes Plea for I.L.D. Contribution
PHILADELPHIA.—The sixtieth session of the Washington and Phil. adelphia Conference of the Colored Hopdist Episcopal Church has just come to a close here at the Holsey Temple C.M.E. Church. Bishop Charles H. Phillips, of Cleveland, Ohio, presided. The session was declared by the membership of the conference to be one of the most constructive in its history. In spite of the depression reports from all parts of the conference were exceptionally good. The conference adopted the following resolution on the Scottsbro case:
"We note with deep regret and concern the action of the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama in confirming the decision of the local court of Scottsboro condemning to death eight Negro youths on a charge that was not proven beyond reasonable doubt.
"We commend the fairness of the Chief Justice who dissented from the majority opinion on the ground that the circumstances under which the youths were tried were not such as to guarantee a deliberate and dispassionate hearing of the evidence.
"While we regret the misunderstanding that has arisen concerning the auspices under which the defense of the youths shall be conducted, we believe the saving of the lives of these young men to be the paramount consideration and pledge the support of this conference to that end."
Following the passage of the resolution, Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations, and newly-elected Howard University trustee, appealed for a contribution to be sent to the International Labor Defense, under whose auspices the appeal will be sent to the Supreme Court of the United States. An offering of $21.00 was taken. Among the leading speakers at the sessi11 of the conference besides the presiding bishop were: Bishop John W. W. McKinney, of Texas; Dr. H. P. Porter, publishing agent, of the C.M.E. Church, from Jackson, Tenn.; Dr. T. H. Copeland, secretary of church claimants, from Hopkinsville, Ky.; Dr. C. L. Russell, secretary of the Epworth League, from Washington, D.C.; and Channing H. Tobias, of New York.
Few changes of importance were made in the appointments of the conferment. The presiding elders (Continued on page 10).

Although her husband was playful and at times tickled her under her feet, Mrs. Mary L. Barton said she was afraid of him and had him arrested on a charge of threats.
However, during the trial before Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court, Saturday, the judge saw things differently and failed to see how such a playful husband could be guilty of the charge and dismissed him.
Mrs. Barton, who lives at 1518 U street, northwest, said her husband, John F. Barton, 1791 Lanier place, northwest, threatened her life Wednesday. Mrs. Ida Brown, landlady, at the U street address, said she heard the threats.

WHITE WOMAN SUE FOR BEING CALLED NEGRO AT THEATRE
Says Accusation Caused Her To Lose Sleep And Mental Anguish
Mrs. Catherine Scott, 441 Massachusetts avenue, a white woman, filed a $20,000 damage suit in the District Supreme Court here Wednesday against the Earle Theatre because she says she was barred from the theatre because the management thought she was a colored woman.
In her bill the woman claims she suffered great mental anxiety and distress, and the shock of the accusation caused acute hysteria, resulting in insomnia, loss of appetite and headache, from which she still suffers.
The woman says that on January 22, in the presence of a number of persons, including her daughter, the management refused to admit her and her money was returned.

GIRL HERE FROM WEST INDIES FIND FIANCEE MARRIED
Comes To United States With Promise Of Wedlock To Be Disillusioned
A story of how a 17-year-old girl came here from Trinidad, B.W.I., with a promise of marriage, and then have her hopes blasted when she learned that her fiancee, who brought her here was already married, has several children, and a son at Howard University, was told to Immigraton authorities this week.
The girl, who is considered one of the most beautiful in the West Indies, came here last October and entered Dunbar High School in December. At present her whereabouts is known only to her mother, Immigration officers, and the Women's Bureau. According to the story of the mother, Mrs. Maud Allenby, to officers, she and her daughter came to this country when Cyril Critchlow, 1700 block Willard street, northwest, who is said to be a messenger in the Munitions Building, when Critchlow came to the West Indies several years ago and made love to the girl and a promise of marriage. Officers of the Women's Bureau said Critchlow paid the fare of the mother and daughter to this country. On arriving here Mrs. Allenby said she was placed in a small room and immediately began to suspect that all was not as painted.
On learning that Critchlow was married she became frantic, and on the advice of the man obtained employment. It is said she was reported to authorities and faces deportation. However, since the girl came into this country to become the wife of Critchlow and had the necessary papers she may not have to leave, but the mother is being detained at the Women's Bureau pending a final hearing and efforts of interested persons to raise the necessary $65 to pay her way home. Neither the mother or girl have taken action against Critchlow, but officers said the Immigration Bureau may take some steps to punish him. Officers of the Bureau said Critchlow had offered to pay the mother's transportation, but refused to pay for the girl's.
