DR. A.E. BURRILL A SUICIDE
CAPITAL WEEKLY
Company A With Captain Roscoe Cooper Commanding Gets Diamond Medal
Dunbar High School made a clean sweep of the fortyeth annual competitive drill of the Ninth Brigade High School Cadets Thursday afternoon in the American League Park before a crowd estimated at over 24,000.
Company A with Captain Roscoe Cooper in command was the winning company. The Teachers' diamond studded medal was pinned on his breast by Mrs. Mary McNeill, member of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia.
This makes the seventh consecutive year Dunbar has won and the fourth successive year the same school has won all three places of honor.
Major General J. Van Horn Moseley deputy chief of staff of the United States Army, reviewed the regiment after competition.
The second winning company was Company G, Dunbar, commanded by Captain John Butcher, and the third winner was Company B, Dunbar, with Caintain Grantville Moore, commanding.
The judges were Captain William Creigler, Mary I' National Guard; Captain Charles Steedman, New York Nation; Guard, and First Lieutenant Richard R. Queen, New Jersey National Guard.
Awarded by Mrs. DePriest
Mrs. Oscar DePriest pinned a silver medal on Captain Butcher while Congressman DePriest pinned a bronze medal on Captain Moore, commander of the third winning company. Captain Cooper also was awarded a gold medal by Mrs. McNeill.
The largest crowd in the 40 years of the drill turned out yesterday to witness the annual event. Thousands gathered early in the morning and remained all day until the final review and presentation at 5:30 in the afternoon. The weather was perfect with a clear sky overhead.
No Disturance
Armstrong and Cardozo took their defeat without a murmur although there was some hissing from the Tech stands. Thousands cheered to the echo when Dunbar was awarded the next two prizes. Twelve companies comupted from Dunbar, Armstrong and Cardozo. The latter school made its first real bid for drill honors and presented two well drilled companies on the field.

White Sailor Brought Here To Face Charge Of Killing Man
James G. McKune, a white sailor on the U.S.S. Idaho, was held for the action of the grand jury Saturday morning following an inquest at the District Morgue into the death of John Berry, 92, 219 Q street, northeast, who was fatally injured on May 15 when he was struck by an automobile driven by McKune on Bladensburg road and Oates street, northeast. Berry died at Casualty Hospital May 27 after an operation. McKune left the scene of the accident after he struck the aged man and was located by police through a spectator who noted the license number on McKune's car. The sailor was arrested in Norfolk, Va., aboard his ship and was brought back to Washington to face a charge of murder.
Edgar J. Giffith, white, 100 Eighteenth street, a taxicab driver, testified that he came on the scene shortly after the accident and assisted McKune in placing the injured man in the cab. Griffith said he told McKune to follow him to the hospital, but the hit-run driver never showed up.
Officer Chased Murder Car
Officer Edward T. Elliott, of No. 9 Precinct, said he was in a nearby store when he heared the crash and reached the scene less than a minute after the accident. He said a white spectator told him the number of the car that struck Berry and pointed the machine out as it moved away.
Officer Elliott said he commanded another machine and started in pursuit of McKune, but the fleeing car was lost in a traffic jam. He said he noted the license number of the machine and it tallied with the number that had been given him.
In testifying in his own behalf, McKune said he wanted to follow the injured man to the hospital, but he was unable to find his way as he was a stranger in Washington. He did not say why he failed to notify police if the accident or why he failed to tell his commanding officer of the mishap. Berry died of gangrene poison of the leg and other injuries received when he was struck.

Argument Over Closing Door Leads To Killing
William Roy, 60, 425 Q street, north est, was shot and instantly killed last week during an altercation in the hallway of his home by another man who police said is Alonzo Taylor, 26, Ridgeway, N.C. Taylor escaped after the shooting and police later arrested him a 208 H street, southwest. Police 'd the shooting was the result of a quarrel beginning when Taylor refused to shut a door after being asked to do so by Roy.

Prisoner Leaps From Third Floor Of House Of Detention
Mrs. Majorie Elizabeth Nicholson, 29 Confee, Md., was fatally injured, Wednesday night, when she jumped or fell from the third floor of the House of Detention. Fifth street and Lousaina avenue, in an attempt to escape.
The woman had been arrested earlier in the day and a charge of petty larceny had been placed against her. She was taken into custody at Eleventh and F streets, northwest, by Officer Ceeelia Clark, of the Women's Bureau.
After being taken to the House of Detention she was placed in a reception room on the third floor where she was left alone. About 20 minutes later she was missing. A search revealed that a woman answering her description was at Emergency Hospital in a serious condition.
Sees Woman Fall
Owen Hawknils, 1417 Morris road, southeast, a taxicab driver, was passing the House of Detention when he saw a woman falling from a window. He testified at an inquest at the District Morgue, Thursday morning, that after the woman struck the concrete pavement below she gained her feet and ran about 50 or 75 yards before she collapsed.
He ran to her assistance and placed the woman in his cab and took her to the hospital. She died of internal injuries and a fractured skull about an hour after reaching the hospital.
Third Fatality
When arrested the woman had some dozen articles from four downtown department stores valued at $33.45. This makes the third fatality at the House of Detention within the last two years from prisoners leaping from windows. The Fire Department refused to allow iron bars to be placed at the windows due to the fire hazard at the House of Detention. A gasoline station is on the first floor of the building, Lieutenant Rosa Millikin, of the Bureau, said the House of Detention will be moved to the old Second Precinct on Fifth street, northwest, on June 14, where the building has been put in condition so as to provide safety for prisoners.
Following the investigation at the Morgue a coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidental death.
'Gama R. Gibson, Dunbar senior, was acquitted Fridav morning by a jury of 12 men in the District Supreme Court on a charge of assault with intent to rape.
The charge was brought against the 17-year-old youth by Miss Hazel Hughes, 17, a classmate of Gibson at Dunbar.
The alleged attack was said to have taken place last January 24 at a restaurant in the 1700 block of F street, northwest. The girl said the youth took her there after attending a movie on U street. She also said that while at the restaurant two unknown men appeared on the scene and raped her.
Gibson denied the accusation and declared that after attending the picture show he took the girl for a short walk on U street and then saw her house in a taxicab.
No Jim Crow at Camp Bonus As Former Vets Seek "Back Pay"
Over 2,000 Colored Ex-Soldiers March In Big Parade; Howard Theatre And Washington Tribune Are Hosts To Vets At Big Theatre Party
[Name]
The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, of Washington, and ex-Congressman Thomas E. Miller, of Philadelphia, last two surviving members of the class of 1872 were present at the seventy-eighth annual commencement at Lincoln University, Tuesday.
By Garland Mackey
Nearly 10,000 former World War veterans are buddies again out at Camp Bonus, Anacostia. Of the total number here seeking cash payment of the bonus (some call it back wages) over 2,000 are Negroes who fought for this country in France.
It's a motley group of all races where there is no such thing as segregation or jim crow. Georgia crackers are once again paling with their colored comrades in this their latest struggle for democracy. Alabama Red Necke and North Carolina Tarmeke greet their darker brothers as one of them.
No Segregation
In the "Big Parade" down the Avenue, Tuesday night, there was no segregation with "special accommodations for colored." Colored marchers were sprinkled in with white paraders. Misery loves company and all look alike in this their hour of need. Just what will happen after it's all over is hard to say, but one thing is certain, a better understanding will come about between the races. Out at Camp Bonus you will find colored and white huddled together—all working for one common cause. "We are treated fine," one veteran told me Wednesday. "There is no jim-crow here," said men on all sides. "We are all brothers," others told me.
All Share Aike
Cotton hands from the fields of Mississippi in the same tents or shelters against the hillside with former clerks in Southern department stores, and a street car conductor from Georgia rubbing elbows with a dock hand from New Orleans; a Pullman porter swapping yarns and cigarettes with a road gang boss from Louisiana, and an ex-bell boy from Charleston on the same straw sack with a man who at one time was the white head porter in the same hotel.
White Southerners visiting the camp look on and marvel at this strange gathering of men from the four corners of the United States—all brothers for the present in their desperate efforts to combat hunger and want.
Wears Croix de Guerre
One man, William A. Butler,
1314 Fifth street, this city, wears
proudly on his chest the Croix de
Guerre. Some 15 white men have
decorations which have been best
restored on them for gallant action
under fire in France.
The Tribune gave out some 5,000 passes to the men, Wednesday, to attend the Howard Theatre. The
1930
Congressman Thomas Miller, formerly from South Carolina, and at one time president of the State College at Orangeburg, will be 83 years old in July. Both spoke during the program and were given a great reception.

tickets were given by the Tribune and the theatre management. The men were grateful for the passes. A visit to the theatre will help pass the time away while they are waiting for some action to be taken on the bonus by Congress. They are thankful for any favor. Hundreds of Tribunes were also distributed to the men. 5,000 In Parade Thousands cheered the 5,000 men as they marched down the Avenue, Tuesday night. It was a sad yet defiant group that stepped to the tune of two drum corps. Unlike the last days of the great war, their steps lagged at times from their long trek to Washington, from in some instances as far as the Pacific Coast.
"We are here to stay until 1945, or until we get our wages," the leaders told the Tribune. No Communists or Reds are tolerated in the camp. Several were lashed and driven from the camp this week. Communists have a separate location and are closely watched by police. There are a few colored members of this organization, James W. Ford, Communist candidate for vice-president of the United States, and some of the other leaders of his group are here trying to induce veterans to join their organization, but so far they have been unsuccessful.
No Reds Allowed
Colored veterans look with suspicion upon Reds. Practically all

TWO WHITE MEN HELD IN DEATH OF WADE BROWN
All Had Been Drinking Together Prior To Fatal Fight
Two white men, Edward "Reds" Cunningham and Zellie "Cowboy" Buff were held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue on Saturday morning into the death of Wade Brown, 25, who was fatally injured early Friday morning in a fight with the two men at Nineteenth and L streets, southeast.
Brown died at Emergency Hospital the same morning, of a fractured skull. James Gaskins, 1144 Nineteenth street, told a coroner's jury he saw Buff strike Brown with his fist.
The white men appeared at the hearing with large bruises and scars about the head. Cunningham said he had been drinking with Brown and in a playful mood pushed the man causing the latter to fall to the pavement. Buff denied knowing anything of the fight and declared he was too drunk to remember anything of the trouble with Brown. Buff and Cunningham were arrested in a vacant house where they were sleeping.

Burrill, former vice consul to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, South America and St. Etienne, France, was found dead in his room at 153 T street, northwest, Wednesday, at 5 p.m., with a bullet wound in his right temple. A note with the words, "Ill health. E.A.B." was found by his body. the discovery was made by Mrs. Josephine Booker with whom Dr. Burrill lived.

BOY,3,FATALLY INJURED WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO
BOY,3,FATALLY INJURED WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO
John Blythe, 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Blythe, 1349 Q street, northwest, was almost instantly killed Monday afternoon when he was knocked down and run over by an automobile in the 1300 block of Q street. The boy died soon after reaching Freedmen's Hospital.
Arthur W, Mister, white, 1405 Monroe street, northwest, driver of the car which struck the boy, was exonerated of all blame by a coroner's jury holding an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday morning.
According to witnesses to the accident, the boy ran across the street and on his way back ran in front of a truck, the driver of the truck swerped and missed the boy by two feet, but the machine driven by Mister struck the boy as the car was in the act of passing the truck. Q street is a one-way thoroughfare in the block, and according to those who saw the accident say it could not have been avoided.
Mister, William Jones, 1217 Eighth street, and Charles Bruce. the latter two occupants of the truck, took the boy to Freedmen's Hospital, where it was found he was suffering from serious injuries of the chest and body. The boy was pronounced dead less than half an hour after reaching the hospital. Officers Guy Carter and Thomas S. Heider, of No. 2 Precinct, who investigated the accident, said the machine operated by Mister was traveling at a moderate rate as traffic in the block had been slowed by the truck. The boy was seen by those on the truck, but was not seen by Mister until after the youngster had run into the side of his car. Although Mister said he stopped within five feet after the accident the rear wheels of his car passed over the child's body before he could stop.

Built-In Space For
Auto Holds Popularity
It_is becoming more and more
the custom to conceive of the home
as a correlated assemblage of all
the different factors of house and
grounds, rather than to plan indi
vidual features without reference
to the others.
During the last ten years the mo-
tor car has made it eet to
inelude the garage in the grchitec-
tural scheme or plan, and the ga-
rage is being increasingly ineor-
porated as an integral feature of
the house.
Considerations of heating and
lighting, as well-as economy in con”
struction, tend to favor the in-built
garage. Placing a garage in the
basement greatly simplifies the in-
stalation of heating, water and
electric lines, all of whieh are nec-
‘essary to proper care of the car.
‘Then, too, the in-built garage per
‘mits of putting the family car or
‘cars away without leaving shelter
‘to reach the house.

‘hot water or steam aor pipes,
‘even when heavily insulated, waste
a great deal of heat when run to a
detached garage from the main
house system. A separate heating
‘unit for the garage is usually made
rather expensive by the necessity
for protection from inflammable
‘fumes,
‘The increasing tendency toward
full utilization of basement space,
which is known to cost as much a
eubie foot as the rest of the house,
recommends the installation of the

A Home That Lends Itself To
* :
Attractive Plantings
Flowers and Shrubs Must Have A Background To
Give The Most Pleasing Effects
By WILLIAM A. RAYFORD
While prospective home builders should not, of course,
select the design of the house they build with this one idea
in view, there is a satisfaction in having a place that lends
itself to beautification with flowering plants and shrubs.
- Plowers, like everything else in nature, need a background—
brilhant colors with greens oh
ferent shades.
‘The home shown in the illustra-
tion js such a house, It sits low,
and has the appearance of being
nestled in a profusion of plants
and shrubs. At the same time, the
house itself is attractive and wil!
provide a most comfortable home
for the family. that can be accom-
‘modated by +. rooms, which are
rather larger than is usually found
in a house of this type.
Before going into the subject of
plantings about the house, let's
take a look at the house itself. The
floor plans show how the rooms are
arranged and the size of each one.
The living room, 21 feet long and
12 feet 6 inches wide, will appeal
to the family that likes a social
life—enjoys entertaining friends,
and having its own members gather
in a common room. A large dining
room and kitchen complete the
first floor, while on the second
floor are three large bedrooms and
the bathroom.
Exterior Appearance
But it is the exterior appearance
that a great many prospective
home builders will like. And many
will be interested in suggestions
about transforming their own
homes into a place as attractive as
this.
Nearly every dey prio ons aul
“Shall I plant shubbery in the
fall of spring? It is all confus-
ing to the amateur jand many a
professional gives advice that is
based on personal experience gained
in one locality and with one set of
working rules. The advice given
by such folks is given in the best
of faith but may or may not work
in a different environment or with
anew crew of men or with a new
foreman. If one understands a lit-
tle about the plant and how it
can very often adapt,
Se a given pide: the Mei Drs:
cedure even if another's experience
differs from the conclusion one
comes to.
Shrubs and trees are known as
woody perennials. By that is
meant, of course, that the roots
live over the winter in a dormant
state. It does not mean that they
will “live fosever” for even under
the best conditions they will die
sooner or later. Different genera
of plants have different life spans
and thus die at different ages. We
all know that the poplar tree is a
fast growing tree. It is a woody
perennial that goes up like a sky-
rocket but its life span is not long
and thus it dies of no apparent
cause in a relatively short time.
On the other extreme is the mighty
oak, a slow-growing but long-lived
tree, yet it too doe die. Another
often heard statemen* bout the
trees and shcubs is that the roots
die each winter and “come back”
in the spring. Nothing that dies
ever comes back to life, on this
earth, at leat.
Locality a Factor
The spring or fall planting de-
pends on the locality, Where con.
ditions for plant coe are good,
fall planting can be recommended.
When a plant is moved many roots
are left in the ground. Unfortu-
nately these roots are the most
necessary, for they are the feeding
roots and they are so smal! that
there is no way to get them when
digging up th plant. The drier
and. hatder the <oll_ thie greater
number of roots that will be broken
off. The more actively the plant
is growing the greater the shock
the loss of roots will be. There-
fore, the first rule in transplanting
shrubs or trees is to wait until
they are dormant ia the fall or be-
fore they start growing in the
spring.
During the winter the trees and
shrubs are dormant but the roots

PILOTS BOW TO CUBANS, 10-3
The Washington Pilots dropped another East-West League encounter to the Cuban-Stars at the American League Park last Thursday. The score was 10-3.
The visiting batters bunched 14 safeties off the slants of McDonald, the Pilots' underhand finger, who toed the mound. The Washington clan failed to solve the offerings of Neely, Cuban hurler, until the seventh whey then got one run. A late rally in the ninth netted two more markers.
The two teams met again Friday at the park. Ladies were admitted free.
3,000 View Field Day At Bordentown School
BORDENTOWN, N.J.—A crowd of 3,000 persons flowed over the Bordentown School campus Tuesday to attend the field day exercises of the Manual Training School. The Oriole A. C. of Englewood fulfilled expectations by handily defeating the Bordentown School varsity team in a game that was marked by good and bad baseball. The score was 15-5.
Six choirs arrived for the 9th annual choir contest, Union Baptist of Montclair, Bellany Baptist and Pilgrim Baptist of Newark, Mt. Moriah A.M.E. of Mt. Holly, Kalighn Avenue Baptist of Camden, and Bethel A.M.E. of Woodbury. The Woodbury choir, presenting a group of young voices which blended beautifully and sang with restrained art, won the judges' decision which was backed up by the opinion of the audience. In nine years of competition, The Bordentown choir cup has never travelled to the northern part of the State. Bethany, which was a favorite prior to the contest, placed second, closely followed by Union of Montclair.

Billy Edwards Scores Over Day In Exhibition
Billy Edwards, local professional boxer, won a three-round decision over Carl Day, also of Washington, in an exhibition at Griffith Stadium, Wednesday night. Edwards tipped the scales at 155, while his opponent weighed 154. The bout was one of the 23 exhibition fights staged by Major Glassford, superintendent of police, for the benefit of the bonus seekers.
Upon of 14,000 sport-loving fans crowded the stadium to aid the veterans. The fight between Edwards and Day, the only colored match on the card, came at the conclusion of Jimmy Lake's pathetic appeal to the crowd for contributions for the veterans. It was a whirlwind clash from start to finish.

GUM-DIPPED CORDS
The Firestone patented Gum-Dip-
ping process transforms the cotton cords
into a strong, tough, sinewy unit.
Liquid rubber penetrates every cord and
coats every fiber, guarding against in-
ternal friction and heat, greatly increas-
ing the strength of the cord body, and
giving longer tire life.
TWO EXTRA
GUM-DIPPED CORD PLIES
UNDER THE TREAD
This is a patented construction, and the
two extra Gum-Dipped cord plies are
so placed that you get 56% stronger
bond between tread and cord body,
and tests show 26% greater protection
against punctures and blowouts. It sets
a new standard for tire performance on
high speed cars.
NON-SKID TREAD
Tough, live rubber specially compounded
for long, slow wear. Scientifically
designed non-skid gives greater traction and safe, quiet performance.

"TARZAN, THE APE MAN" AT THE BROADWAY
The strange story of a white man who was brought up in the jungle and lived in the tree-tops like the apes is told in "Tarzan, the Ape Man," which will be seen at the Broadway Theatre for three days—Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
This is the screen version of the famous adventure novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs and the fact that it was directed by W. S. Van Dyke, if "Trader Horn" reputation guarantees it to contain the full flavor of the African jungle in which dangerous and always exciting loyalty the plot is unfolded.
Life in Tree Tops
Fights with lions, apes, blood-thirsty pygmies, and other wild animals; a spectacular charge of a herd of elephants through a native village; the imprisonment of an English safari and their escape from the man-eating gorilla pit play a prominent part in this story of jungle adventures. Principal interest, however, is centered on the fascinating romance of Tarzan with an English girl.
Johnny Weissmuller, world's champion swimmer, plays the title role, and the cast also includes Neil Hamilton, Maureen O'Sullivan C. Aubrey Smith, Doris Lloyd, Forster Harvey and Ivory Williams.

MARION DAVIS AND CLARK GABLE AT THE BOOKER T.
"Polly of the Circus" will head the program at the Booker T. Theatre, starting Friday, June 10, with Marion Davis enacting the role of a trapeze artist, and Clark Gable that of a modern young minister. This unusual romantic drama is based on Margaret Mayo's stage success of some years ago and was directed by Alfred Santell, of "Daddy Long Legs," and "Sob Sister" fame.
As the circus performer who marries a minister, only to find that she stands in the way of his happiness, Miss Davies is said to have a role which gives her even greater dramatic opportunities than that of her last vehicle, "Five and Ten." The story also has its amusing moments for the hydenish circus aerialist discovers that ministers are not quite the forbidden persons she had thought them to be, while the small-town parson gets a new slant on life under the "big top."
Highlights of the drama include the sensational fall of the trapeze star, the scandal which ensues as a result of her convalescence in the minister's house, the refusal of the board of clergymen to give the minister a church when he marries the circus girl, and the subsequent drastic attempt of the girl to "repair the damage." C. Aubrey Smith has a prominent role in the production.

Bearing out the statement that there will be many more pictures made on the order if "Trader Hosn," Universal Studio has selected Negro giants and has started casting for a new serial there depicting life in a jungle. Nathan Curry, Sam Baker and Vic Alexander were among the first ones chosen.
It is entitled "Jungle Mystery."
"NIGHT COURT" DRAMA, SCANDAL IN JUDGE'S LIFE
"NIGHT COURT" DRAMA, SCANDAL IN JUDGE'S LIFE
A powerful drama of circumstances which turned the home of a happily married young couple into a bedlam of tragedy is told in "Night Court," opening Friday, June 10, at the Lincoln Theatre. The story, which is based on recent disclosures of political corruption in courts of law, depicts the web of intrigue and injustice which encircles a young taxi driver and his wife when they unwittingly become involved in the "private life" of a well-known night court marigrate
Because incriminating evidence of the judge's scandals falls into the hands of the chauffeur's wife, she is railroaded to jail on a trumped-up morals charge. The taxi driver, bent on exposing the judge, discovers the latter's implication in a notorious murder charge and uses this information in forcing a confession from the judge relative to his wife's unjust indictment.
Phillips Holmes is featured in the cast as the taxi driver; Walter Huston plays the crooked judge, and Anita Page has the most drastic role of her career as the frame-up icitm. Other prominent players Lewis Stone, Mary Carlisle, John Miljan, Jean Hersholt, Tully Marshall, and Neol Francis. The picture was directed by W. S. VanDyke, who accomplished such wonders with "Trader Horn," and "Tarzan, the Ape Man."
A young and ambitious crook determined to steal a priceless emerald necklace, and who cold-bloodedly makes love to a girl in order to further his plans, only to find when the opportunity comes that Cupid has tied his hands.
This is the colorful characterization given by William Bakewell in "Cheaters at Play," the exciting story of adventure and mystery afloat and ashore which opens next Wednesday at the Lincoln Theatre. Barbara Weeks plays the unsuspecting girl, with Charlotte Greenwood as her nouveau riche aunt, and Thomas Meighan as the reformed crook.
"Green Pastures"
At Golden Gate
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (ANP) —"The Green Pastures Company finished the first two weeks of a four weeks' engagement here, Saturday night, May 28. The Columbia Theatre has held record crowds for each performance. The cast has been kept busy as usual furnishing programs for the different churches and clubs around the city. Two outstanding programs marked the activities of Sunday, May 29. One at the United Church, Capp street at 21st, headed by Mr. Richard B. Harrison, and many others of the cast. At 8 p.m., the time set for the program to begin, the church was packed with hundreds of persons standing. Salem Tutt Whitney acted as master of ceremonies. There were several numbers rendered by the choir. A talk by Mr. Harrison closed the program.
At 11 a.m., a program was rendered by some of the members of the cast at the Third Baptist Church, Hyde and Clay streets, for the Woman's Missionary day, Mrs. Lillian M. Smith is president, and Rev. J. L. Allen, acting pastor. Miss Willie M. Hayes, contralto, and Miss Gertrude DesVerney, soprano, sang. Mercedes Gilbert, the guest speaker, gave a resume of the show and read a number of poems from her recently published book of poetry. Many sight seeing trips and entertainments have been given the cast by the citizens of San Francisco.
Cotton Club Chorus In Paramount Film
The entire chorus from Sebastian's Cotton Club has been cast in a new picture starting at the Paramount studio. The new feature marks an indication of the trend of the public towards an appetite for pictures of the musical comedy type which was such a furore three years ago. Cabaret scenes and week-end entertainment at mansions of the rich are said to be some of the sequences. "The Devil and the Deep" is said to be the working title. Lee Hite's Cotton Club Band at present headed by Louie Armstrong, is also working at another studio without Louie.
They are the Memphis Jazz Band of "Cabin and the Cotton." Les and Lionel Hampton have some

MR. CHOLS SAYS
A
You say you are following the Pilots, dear Fan, then that is good. Keep it up, and do your part to help them to have a real good team. If you have any complaints to make send them in to Mr. Chols and he will treat them fairly_Send in care of the Washington Tribune, for Mr. Chols. See you at the game!
Dear Mr. Chols, won't you tell me in your column where a good place is to swim?
My goodness, Bonehead, why—in the water, of course.
Dear Mr. Chols, you seem so bright maybe you can answer this one: "What does a soldier have to be to be buried with military honors?" — Signed, Highschool Cadet.
Dear High School Cadet, you should be ashamed to admit that you are a cadet. Why that one is easy; he has to be dead.
The only answer Son, that I can give for a cat's tail being so long because it is fur to the end. And I never heard the story about the kitchen—you see that is out of my range.
No use wishing when you can't have what you wish. It is just like fishing where there ain't any fish.
Dear Old Man Chols, you wise old owl, answer this one, "What is the difference between gulf and golf?"
Wise Old Owl is right, Son. Gulf is a waste of water and Golf is a waste of time. O, K. Dumbbell!
That's funny we did not miss you at the Wednesday midnight frolic. We were sure everybody was there—and how the Hot Chocolates did play. Hats off to Booker and the boys. Well I'll be seeing you at the old punchbowl next Wednesday, at eleven till three.
I would rather be a lobster than a wise guy,
I would rather be a good thing than a sport;
The laugh may be a joke, but then he's never broke,
It's the wise guy, kid, that's always short.
Don't worry about the man who gets the lemon,
'Cause he's bound to get the peaches when they fall.
And the more of life I see, well it really seems to me,
That the lobster is the wise guy after all.
Did you know—that there is no harm in a bee standing; on you just don't let him set down; that corn on the cob is better than corn on the ear or the toe; that navy beans have never been to sea and that they taste just as good in the army; that no matter how straight a cross-eyed girl, is she always looks crooked; that the best thing to put in a pie is your teeth; that the big fish in the river live off of sardines, but I cannot tell you how they get the cans open; cows don't give milk—you have to take it; the best way to tell how much a fish weights is to use the scales on his back; it is too hot for me to write any more of this bunk, and too darn hot for you to read it—so I will be seeing you. So long!

Local Musicians Organize
A Washington chapter of the National Association of Negro Musicians was formed last Thursday night with the Washington Musical Arts Society, composed principally of students of the Howard University School of Music, under the leadership of Prof-Roy W. Tibbs, as a nucleus. Among the speakers were Henry Grant, instructor in music, Dunbar High School and former president of the National Association; and Alfred Johnson, director of music in public schools, Divisions 10-13.
GOSSIP OF THE MOVIE LOTS
BY HARRY LEVETTE
(For The Associated Negro Press)
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Following the expose of some petty racketeering that threw a scare into parties guilty of accepting money on the promise of movie jobs, another unpleasant incident has been cleared up that threatened the ground the Negro is regaining in the movies.
Swinging away from sophisticated stories of reception halls and over sex bed-room scenes the studios will be showing the public more films of primitive life and folk-lore than ever. "Tabu," "Trader Horn," and Douglass Fairbanks' travel films have revealed by box office receipts that there is an appeal.
There are going to be many pictures made which will necessitate using colored players as natives or colonial. There will also be more made with Negro folk songs and spirituals abounding due to the influence "Green Passures" has had.
Figures for the month of June will equal those for May so far as employment of colored extras are concerned, although, after four straight weeks of heavy activity, production of feature length pictures fell back to normal last week. Thirteen new films finished last week and nine new ones started. There were thirty features shooting at the major studios.
"Cabin in the Cotton" at First National, with Richard Barthelness, star, is not using as many colored players as at first was expected, although it will be synchronized by Sarah Butler's Old Time Southern Singers. Most of the plot centers around a little poverty stricken village of poor white and Negro share croppers in the South. There is a lynching also, but a white murderer is the victim of members of his own race. Clarence Muse, as the old blind village beggar singing and playing his guitar as he gropes his way along the dusty street led by the hand of little Jesse Scott, will be sharing stardom with Barthelness. "Up on the Mountain Land," written for the film and sung in that deep baritone as only Muse can sing it, is going to be a sensation when the picture is released. White stars and players are moved almost to tears at rehearsals and during rest surround him and beg him to sing "Go Down Moses," "Steal Away," and other similar songs.
The little Scott boy is a born actor, another discovery of Central Casting Bureau, which has uncovered through Butler most of the child actors making good in pictures. In fact practically all the singing choruses have had their chance through the same avenue including Bibrew Halls and others. The Old Time Southern Singers were built up from among extras, which explains why some of this group are working when the chorus as a body is not cast.
Last Saturday, on the old "Uncle Tom's Cabin" set, Clarence Muse, Jesse Scott, Fred Toombs, J. A. Robertson, James Adamson, Gus Robinson, Dion Muse, Thomas Beende, John Davis, John McNeil, Rosemond Scott, Alicia Muse, Dorothy Jordan, Betty Davis, Rhoda McNeil, Fannie Washington, Leola Langress, "Your Scene Peeper," and a few others worked in some scenes in the new film.

STANWYCK IN "SO BIG" AT THE REPUBLIC THEARE
Barbara Stanwyck, the star of "Illicit" and "Night Nurse," will be seen in her latest picture, Edda Ferber's "So Big," at the Republic Theatre, from Friday to Tuesday, June 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. "So Big" is Edna Ferber's greatest story and is dedicated to those women who have loved and lost but fought every inch of the way. This girl took all life had to offer—its loves, its hates, its knocks; its joys and sorrows. She fought with feminine cunning for the things life denied her. How big can a motion picture really be? As big as the heart-throbs of life? As big as humanity? As big as a woman's love? You'll learn the answer when you see Barbara Stanwyck in the picture, you'll always remember her by "So Big."
"I's Tough to be Famous," starring Douglass Fairbanks, Jr., will be the attraction at the Republic on Wednesday and Thursday, June 15 and 16. See if you can recognize this story. Would you like to be married to a hero? His private life was public property. Headlines screamed his boudour secrets. He was fed up on fame—but famished for love. For years you've read and talked about America's greatest hero. Now the inside facts about his fame are re-created in this sensational film hit. Mary Brian is Doug's leading lady

HOWARD THEATRE CLOSES ITS DOORS FOR SUMMER
After having had a most successful season which began September 26, of last year, with a great show and Duke Ellington's famous band, the Howard wishes to announce the closing of its doors for the summer during which time numerous alterations will be made and to reopen early in September. It has been frequently mentioned how well pleased the Washington public has been with the shows presented at this theatre. The manager wishes to thank his many patrons for their support during the past year. He also promises to bring bigger and better attractions for the coming season. Every obtainable star and musical attraction appeared at Howard during the past season. The few that were missing will positively make their bow this fall. Watch the paper for all advance information in regards to the opening date and attraction.
The Howard had 33 employees, made several donations to various charitable organizations, including Y.W.C.A., Y.M.C.A., N.A.A.C.P., Community Chest, the poor at Christma stime, plus increasing each employee's pay Upon announcing the closing date Mr. Allen received several congregational telegrams including the Musicians' Union, stage hands of the local motion picture theatres, etc. Wishing to again thank the patrons. This theatre is owned by the Stifcel Brothers as the Pearl in Philadelphia, both under the general supervision of Shep Allen.
studio, with Eliza Landi star, and Allen Kirkland opposite, got going again after a two weeks hold up on account of cloudy weather. Scenes using from 100 to 150 colored men, women, children and babies were made of the boat landing scene on the lot. Scenes leading up to this will be made on the river at Sacramento. Vera Morrison, 16-year-old sister of Sunshine Sammy, and John Lester Johnson as her father have contract bits in the film.

HARLEM IS HEAVEN BEST YET
By Johnny Williams
There is something new, novel and indescribably entertaining in the all-talking colored photoplay now playing to a packed house at the Booker T. Theatre in Washington. It is called "Harlem is Heaven." Bill (Bo-Jangles) Robinson, one of the Negroes finest and most talented gifts to the legitimate stage is its star. Mr. Robinson, naive, ludicrous and genuinely amusing, performs his various numbers with accuracy and precision; thus, proving himself a most versatile personality.
He is ably supported by Putney Dandridge and a charming lady Arise Boyar.
The picture, as a whole, is an honest to goodness "Comedy Drama," fraught with thrills, mirth and excitement. It is by far the best all-Negro photoplay I've seen in many moons.
All who miss it will deny themselves of a genuinely delightful treat.
Bicentennial Pageant Given At Garfield School
Every class was represented in the Bicentennial pageant and cantata given at the Garfield' School Tuesday night. A colonial wedding was the presentation by the first and second grades, Mrs. M. K.

Flipping and the Virginia reel by seventh and eighth grade boys and girls taught by the principal of the school, Miss Effie Simmons.
The children were dressed in colorful colonial costumes and the music furnished by the pupils of the upper grades under the direction of Mrs. H. P. Martin, music instructor.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go
If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
They can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your stomach daily. You should flow freely, your food doesn't digest. It just degrades in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad tastes and your breath is foul, often breaks out in blemishes. Your whole system is down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes these good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIPER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain worm-like germs that make vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile freely. But don't ask for liver Pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the label of substitute. At买 all stores. 1031 C. M. C.
Unless you "feel" right you never have a chance to get all of the pleasure out of life which you are entitled to. Weak, alling women get on men's nerves quicker than anything in the world. Even if they have good looks but no pep or personality, they never hold men and are entirely unhappy and blue. Don't be that kind of woman. Don't get the habit of complaining all the time because you feel miserable or run down. Don't let little things tire you out so that you look for the closest chair and flop down into it.

Men, automobiles and tires set amazing new records of speed and endurance in this year's 500-mile international race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Giving a aplendid exhibition of cool and steady driving, Fred Frame, veteran of many races, won the event in record-breaking time. With an admiring throng milling around him after his sensational victory, one of the first things Frame did was to send the following telegram to Harvey S. Firestone, pioneer tire manufacturer:
"I want to congratulate you and thank you on the wonderful performance of Firestone tires which helped me win the Indianapolis 500-mile race today without tire trouble, setting a new record of more than 104 miles an hour for the 500 miles."
The race throughout was a remarkable Firestone triumph. Every car to finish was equipped with Firestone Tires. The first four broke the former record of 101.13 miles an hour made by Peter De Paolo in 1925. In all the history of the famous motor race there has never been a more severe test of tires and never a finer demonstration of their qualities than was furnished this year. It was the thirteenth consecutive victory for Firestone.

which helped me win the Indianapolis 500-mile race today without tire trouble, setting a new record of more than 104 miles an hour for the 500 miles." The race throughout was a remarkable Firestone triumph. Every car to finish was equipped with Firestone Tires. The first four broke the former record of 101.13 miles an hour made by Peter De Paolo in 1925. In all the history of the famous motor race there has never been a more severe test of tires and never a finer demonstration of their qualities than was furnished this year. It was the thirteenth consecutive victory for Firestone.
OF PROMINENT CHICAGOANS
CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP) — The bank accounts of a number of men, prominent in financial, political and civic circles in Chicago, were attached last week, when the First National Bank of this city moved to recover on a judgment, note signed by various individuals who stood sponsor for an obligation on the Binga Arcade building, the quarter million dollar office structure reared next door to the Binga Bank. Among those whose accounts were tied up were Charles A. Jackson, undertaker; Congressman Oscar DePriest, Dr. A. Willforcee Williams, physician; Dr. R. A. Williams, president of the Royal Circle of Friends; Dr. Spencer C. Dickerson, colonel of the Eighth Regiment; C. N. Langston, former cashier of the Binga Bank; Dr. U. G. Dailley, head of the Dailey Hospital; Rev. C. H. Clark, former pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church; and W. A. Robinson, real estate dealer.
The men, all of whom have been directors of the Binga State Bank, prior to its closing, had signed on the note on which there is a balance of $20,000, to aid the construction of the Arcade Building although the building was not owned by the bank. Mr. Binga's influence is said to have been contributory to their signing.
Efforts are under way by the persons whose accounts are tied up to arrange for a down payment and the subsequent satisfaction of the note. The bank secured a judgment last March, but it is said to be willing to release the bank accounts when the signers give adequate assurance of caring for the balance due.

RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—Connoisseurs both in the United States and abroad are said to be buying the products of a pocket knife of Leslie Bolling, a young colored man who took up wood carving as a hobby several years ago.
Since 1926 Bolling's hobby has attracted the attention of artists in New York and London through the wooden figures exhibiting remarkable strength and power, which he has produced with the aid of his pocket knife. Bolling lives at 810 North Fourth street, attended the elementary and high school, and has had a year at Virginia Union University.
Shortly after taking up wood carving he put a few of his figures on exhibition in the Young Women's Christian Association, where they attracted the attention of Berkeley Williams, Jr., and others who encouraged him to continue his carving. the attention of Carl VanVechten, novelist, was called to Bolling's work by Hunter Stagg, and several of the products of his pocket knife were exhibited in New York. Since then they have been bought by connoisseurs both in the United States and abroad.
Superstitious Rite Locates Body
CHARLESTON, Miss. (ANP)—Superstition proved instrumental in finding the body of Miss Willie Robertson, who was drowned in a creek here. The creek had been dragged for five miles around where the body was believed to have been, but no trace was found. An old colored woman, Mrs. Dorsie Washington Alford, then came to the aid of the hunting party and offered her belief in a manner of finding her.
The old lady took one of the dresses of the deceased, pitched it in the creek and the party followed the dress as it floated down. Suddenly the dress went to the bottom. Then she told the party to wade out where the dress had sunk and they would find the body. Two of the party followed the instruction and there, believe it or not, was the body of the drowned woman. Some people of Charleston thought that it was a miracle, but Mrs. Alford stated that she had on two occasions found drowned bodies by the same process.
Finder Of Lindbergh
Son Barred From Show
NEW YORK—William J. Allen, of Trenton, N.J., who became famous as the finder of the Lindbergh baby, was barred from Coney Island as an added attraction at a side show, Saturday. The exhibition was said to be "offensive to public taste."
Allen was the first to locate the missing Lindbergh heir. Although the president of the United States and other Government officials made a lot of fuss about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping none have given Allen any recognition for finding the child. All have been strangely silent. It is pointed out that had the finder of the baby been white. Hoover and the rest of the white office holders would have had him come to Washington to at least shake hands with the President. Even Lindbergh has failed to give official thanks to Allen.

By THE OBSERVER
Troupe, a hard hitting young-ster with the Detroit Wolves is still in his teens. Hunter, young righthander on the same club is a coming-star as a pitcher.
Wilson, of the Cleveland Cubs is a brilliant catcher.
"Dalty" Cooper; long known as a good pitcher, has a brother playing short, stop with the Cleveland Cubs. He has been nick-named "Kid Lightning."
Mike Moore and Nate Harris constitute a great double play combination.
Willie O'Bryant, hustling ball player from Texas, has been sent to the outfield by Manager Warfield of the Pilots.
"Speed" Smith, 16-yar-old right hand pitcher, has been acquired by the Washington Pilots. Smith had a record last year of winning 14 out of 17 games.
"Bullet" Rogan, long a star ball player and manager of the Kansas City Monarchs, is now playing with a team in Sioux Falls, N.D.
"Cool Papa" Bell, speedy center fielder of the Detroit Wolves, is one of the fastest men in baseball.
Years ago at the Olympic Field in New York, "Smokey" Joe Williams performed some marvelous pitching feats; one time he defeated the Philadelphia Nationals in 1915, 1 to 0 with Chalmers pitching in the ninth inning. With three men on bases Williams struck out Nichoff, Bacraft and Pashert in a row.
One of the greatest third basemen in the last 20 years was a Cuban by the name of Moran, who by the way was a lefthander.
LINCOLN FAILS TO BE REINSTATED
Absence Of Representative Halts Action On Application
By J. L. WHITEHEAD
HAMPTON, Va.—The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association in special session, called for the primary purpose of taking action on Lincoln University's application for re-instatement to membership in the C.I.A.A.A., failed to re-instate the ousted institution.
Although notified by letter and by telegram to be represented at the special session, Lincoln University did not send a representative to Hampton for the C.I.A.A.A. extra conclave. Lincoln's absence prevented action by the association on the former's application for re-instatement.
The secretary-treasurer informed Prof. H. F. Grim, chairman, Lincoln University Athletic Council, by wire that the "C.I.A.A. did not take action on Lincoln's application for re-instatement. Letter follows to President Johnson." An official communication was sent from the C.I.A.A. to Dr. William Hallock Johnson, president of Lincoln University.
A very definite stand has been taken by the association in the Lincoln case, and the C.I.A.A. will neither yield nor compromise its position. Lincoln University violated the December 12, 1981, regulation, and was suspended February 27. The regulation prohibits teams from playing club and non-school teams and school teams that do not subscribe to the C. I. A. A. code or codes equivalent to and approved by the C.I.A.A. Beyond the shadow of doubt, the regulation is constitutional.
Thus endeth the case, as far as the C.I.A.A. is concerned, Lincoln University will have to take the initiative role for further consideration of her case.
The following institutions were represented at the special meeting: Hampton, Charles H. Williams and Gideon E. Smith; Howard, Frank Coleman and Clarence W. Davis; Virginia State, H. B. Hucles; A. & T., N. C. Webster; North Carolina State, James T. Taylor; St. Paul J. L. Whitehead and H. Leslie Giles; Morgan College, George C. Grant; Johnson C. Smith University, T. E. McKinney.
W. T. Armstrong, director of athletics, Shaw University, wired James T. Taylor, graduate manager of athletics, North Carolina State College, to represent Shaw University because of the former's inability to be present. Mr. Armstrong sustained a broken leg in a baseball game, Thursday, June 2.
Franklin Hangs Up His Grid Spikes At Wiley
MARSHALL, Texas. — Clarence "Cush" Franklin, star guard and place-kicker, was graduated from Wiley College with this year's senior class.

"CRUSH" HOLLOWAY, Black Sox fielder, has been released to Hilldale. "Red" Ryan, Hilldale pitcher, has been sent to the Newark Browns. Holloway at one time was one of the greatest fielders in the country.

Indigestion
DON'T expect to enjoy eating, or to escape sour stomach, heartburn, gas collis, or a sick feeling at your stomach, when your bowels fail to move regularly. Take Thedford's Black-Draught to clear up sluggishness and relieve constipation. A better feeling follows its natural, cleansing action.
100
"I have used Black-Draught for a long time. The last three years it has been all I have used. I use it for indigestion. When I have indigestion, I have pains and a tight feeling. Black-Draught relieves this. It is also good for billowness; the dull, tired, worn-out
feeling (from constipation) and headache. "—Lucius Diskey, Montco, N. G.
BLACK
DRAUGHT
Plans For Baptist Meet
(Continued from page 9) by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, the N.A.A.C.P. organ. The inscription follows, "Here John Brown aimed at human slavery a blow that woke a guilty nation. With him fought slaves and sons of slaves. Over his crucified corpse marched 200,000 black soldiers and 4,000,000 freed men singing John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave, but his soul goes marching on." Mr. McDonald termed the inscription "not a happy one" to be placed on the Fort. He asserted that the trustees objected to the words "guilty nation" which, he declared, was not a happy, sweet spirit to convey to scholars and the thousands of visitors to Storer College, 75 years after an event. He claimed the phrase, "over his crucified corpse marched 200,000 black soldiers singing John Brown's body lies a molding" showed bitterness of spirit and was historically wrong. He declared John Brown was not crucified but hanged.
Following Mr. McDonald's address, the ministers opened the heated discussion on the subject until it was finally voted to refer the matter to the committee for recommendation. No authorized representative of the N.A.A.C.P. was

Four Adopt Recommendation
The adopted and signed by four of the eight committee members present Tuesday at the special meeting at the Mount Carmel Church is as follows: "With reference to the incident at Storer College May 21, with respect to the John Brown memorial tablet to have been placed by the N.A.A.C.P., and press comment of same. The college had a right to object to anything being erected on the college campus, contrary to their wishes and policy, also that the inscription as worded would not serve the best good for race relationship of which the school has always advocated, and that reasonable evidence from communications as submitted to inspection by President McDonald yesterday (Monday) at the Ministers Conference certifies that the officials of the N.A.A.C.P, knew that the inscription was objectionable to the college authorities before the date of erection—and misquoted the position of president and trustees of college. In view of this evidence and information we recommend that we proceed to go forward in holding the summer institution at Storer College, Harpers Ferry, W. Va." This was signed by Rev. W. H. Jernagin, chairman, Rev. J. P. Nichols, Rev. W. A. Gray and Rev. Augustus Lewis. In commenting on the incident

By C. E. CHAPMAN
WICHITA, Kans, (ANP)—Seven Middlewestern States were represented here during the seventh annual convention of the Middlewestern States Association of the I.B.P.
O.E. of W., which ended here Tuesday as the guest of Peerless Princess Lodge of Wichita. Hundreds of delegates and their friends from Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska were here.
Wichita was dressed in gala style. Floatings, buntings and special lights and decorations symbolized Elkdom. The key to the city was presented the visitors by the City Manager in an address of welcome, Sunday night, at St. Paul A.M.E. Church. Business sessions were held at Masonic Hall, 615 N. Main street. A feature of the session was the parade through business section of the city led by three bands. Three departmentnets of the Order displayed colorful regalia.

Presbyterians Ignore Appeal Against Race Prejudice
DENVER, Colo. (ANP)—Even though the Methodist Episcopal Church was willing to vote that its conferences in the future should not be held in any city which would not treat its colored delegates the same as the white, the millenium has not come.
The Presbyterian Church is not vet prepared for such a step. At the closing session of the 144th general assembly here Wednesday, the Rev. Irving W. Underhill, West African missionary, arose to protest against Fort Worth, Texas, as the 1933 meeting place. The white moderator, Charles W. Kerr, of Tulsa, Okla., tried to rule Rev. Underhill from the floor on a point of order, but after stating that he wished the delegates to go on record as refusing to meet "in any place where a Negro can not be treated as a man and a brother," he continued, "I won't be stopped that way. I am speaking on the question—on the question of next year's meeting place. A Negro can not be a man in Texas. It is impossible to be prejudiced and a Christian at the same time."
The white delegates declined even to discuss Rev. Udnerhill's protest, and on a motion from Mr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle, Washington, Fort Worth was chosen as next year's meeting place without opposition.

G.P.O. EMPLOYEE RETIRES AFTER 24 YEARS SERVICE
Solomon H. Thompson Given Testimonial Upon Retirement
After twenty-four years of faithful and efficient service in the Government departments, Solomon H. Thompson, sixty-five-year-old Government Printing Office employee, was retired from service recently. Upon his retirement the elderly employee was tendered a fitting ceremony by his fellow-employees at which time many useful presents were presented to him. "So!" as he was familiarly called by his co-workers, was employed in the findery department of the Printing Office. He entered the Government service in 1006 as an employee in the Commerce Department. He was later transferred to the Labor Department and finally moved to the G. P. O.
Born May 1867, at Old Fort Whiple, now Fort Myer, Va., Mr. Thompson moved to a site in Nauck, Va. known as "Convalescent Camp" when seven years old and has resided there ever since. He has watched this little village grow from four houses to a thriving community. Mr. Thompson attended the Old Kemper School prior to his bsing employed by the Government.
Washington's Clock Lost One Second In 200 Years
During this Bicentennial season everything pertaining to George Washington makes interesting reading. An old attendant whose years goes back to the day of his birth<sup>3</sup> as a slave in Fredericksburg, Va., told Henry Ford that the old grandfather's clock at Kenmore, the home of Washington's sister, keeps good time.
"How good?" snapped Mr. Ford, who with Mrs. Ford was touring Virginia Gardens.
"Oh, it has always kept good time," the custodian said. "It was Washington's mother's clock, and George Washington.. learned to tell time by it. It is 200 years old or more, and it still keeps good time."
Two hundred years, and keeps good time," mused Mr. Ford.
"Well, we'll see."
He took out his watch and looked at it for a few moments.
With a broad grin, as if he had something on the custodian, he emphatically said:
"It's slow."
"Slow?" questioned the amazed custodian.
"Yes," smiled Mr. Ford, "one second."

Mrs. Abbott Sues Defender Owner For Divorce
ASKS FOR SEPARATE MAIN-
TENANCE. HE LEFT
HER PENNILESS
CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—After
chasing about futilely for ten days,
attaches of the sheriff's office were
finally successful in serving Robert
S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago
Defender, Friday, with papers
in the divorce action brought
against him by his wife of a dozen
years, the former Helen Thornton,
of Athens, Ga.
Although there have been recurrent rumors in the city of rifts between the publisher and his wife since before he was taken sick in April, 1931, the action of Mrs. Abbott in filing her suit for divorce and separate maintenance through the law firm of Cantwell and Cantwell gave the public the first opportunity to discover what substance there was to the various reports.
The straw that broke the camel's back or the action of the publisher which is reported to have forced his wife to take legal action against him occurred nearly two weeks ago when he sneaked out of his home and left for whereabouts unknown to his wife. It is stated that before he left the palatial residence on South Parkway, he cut off all his wife's bills, her charge accounts, and so forth, and left her practically destitute.
"I have no wish to injure him in the public estimate," she stated, "nor to make myself the subject of limitless publicity. If I had not been unhappy I would not have entered the suit. Many things may come out in the contest of the action, but I would prefer, if they are not forced out in court, to remain mute about the affair." "How much are you going to ask for support?" the reporter inquired. "I do not know," was her answer.
"What is Mr. Abbott's income?" he pursued.
"I do not know, but hope to find out," she responded.
Mr. Abbott has retained Former United States Senator Charles S. Deneen to defend him in the action although no suggestion has been made that he expects Deneen's political influence to be serviceable to him.
Abbot Disappears
Mrs. Abbott stated that she thought her husband had gone to a sanatarium, but she did not know where. She thought he was making trips from the sanatarium to his office.
"What is the state of his health?" she was asked.
"Oh, it is as good as can be expected," she replied. "He will have to be careful for the rest of his life."
Mrs. Abbott's sister is the wife of N. K., McGill, general manager and general counsel for the Chicago Defender. In the eight years of his residence in Chicago, he is reported to have built up a fortune, owning two Pierce-Arrow cars and one Hupmobile. It is reported that during the last year since Mr. Abbott was taken sick, Mr. McGill has purchased two six-flat buildings on fashionable Michigan avenue and opened up a real estate office on the same thoroughfare. At various times he has been generous to the brothers of Mrs. Abbott and his wife, having recently advanced one of the brothers sufficient money to open a photographic studio. Mr. McGill is also assistant attorney general of the State of Illinois.
Miss Elvin Lee Wins District Elks Contest

Miss Elyin Lee, student of Dunbar High School, won first place in the Elks' oratorical contest held Friday night at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. James Jackson, of Cardozo Business High School, won second place, or the alternate to Miss Lee.
This places Miss Lee as a contestant in the regional contest to be held here in July. The winner of the regional contest is awarded a $1,000 scholarship of $250 for four years, and a place in the national contest at the Elks' Convention in Los Angeles in August.
The contestants here in July will come from West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District.

Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson was present and commended the winner and the other contestants.
Dr. Charles Marshall presided.
3 Indictments Returned Tuesday; All Out On Bond
TEN OVERT ACTS NAMED
REGARDING $450,000 DEAL
OF MASONIC TEMPLE
John T. Risher, president of the
National Benefit Life Insurance
Company; Mortimer F. Smith, former
secretary and assistant secretary;
and Daniel M. Gary, former
business associate of Risher, were
indicted by the grand jury Thursday
on a conspiracy charge to embezzle $450,000 of the company's
funds.
The trio is accused of plotting to loot the company with the intention of using the stolen money to complete the Masonic Temple at Tenth and U streets, northwest. The National Benefit was the largest Negro business in the world with $75,000,000 in force. The company was founded by Samuel W. Rutherford, who resigned last summer with his son, R. H. Rutherford. S. W. Rutherford was secretary-manager, and his son president before they severed their connection. Last fall the insurance company was placed in receivership when it encountered financial difficulties.
The indictment alleges that a plan to embezzle funds of the company was formulated January 1, 1929. It continued, the indictment charges, through June 30, 1930. The alleged conspiracy, it was learned, related to the diversion of $450,000 to the erection of the Masonic Temple. Ten overt acts were set forth in the indictment. All relate to the manner of financing the completion of the temple. A contract was drawn April 12, 1929, between Gary and Risher, on one side, and the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons on the other, to refinance and complete construction of the building.
On April 30, 1929, Gary and agents, as agents of the Masonic Lodge, entered into an agreement with Smith to complete the building on April 19, 1929, and it was alleged Smith drew a $5,000 check in favor of himself against the insurance company funds.
Then on May 23, 1929, Smith signed a contract with the G. G. Loebler Constructin Company to complete the building. Six days later Smith, it was charged, caused the insurance company to convey to him premises at 609 F street, northwest, 1924 Thirteenth street, northwest, all of which were the property of the company. On the same day he is said to have conveyed the properties to the Loebler Company. Another overt act is alleged to have occurred on May 18, 1929, when Smith drew a check for $42,500 against funds of the insurance company payable to the construction company. Again, on May 29, a check was issued, this time for $27,500, drawn against the insurance company in favor of the Loebler Company.
Two other checks, one for $42,000 and the other for $10,000, were drawn against company funds. The larger check was payable to H. W. Van Senden, and the smaller one to Risher.
Among those testifying at the grand jury investigation were Rob. H. Rutherford and Sampel W. Rutherford. Although the indictment accuses them of connection with the conspiracy they were not indicted.
The affairs of the National Benefit were jugged considerably, and it is hard to find heads or tails to the various transactions.
The National Benefit sold the Masonic building back to the Masons under a contract of sale for $585,000. It is their desire to make of this building a national shrine.

Hawaiian System Finger Waving Cream Acclaimed By Big Philadelphia Demonstration.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Through the courtesies of Dr. Ida T. Love, president of the Philadelphia Association of Beauticians, and Mme. Sarah Washington, president and founder of the Apex Hair Company, the superior merit of the Hawaiian System Finger Waving products was demonstrated, Tuesday afternoon at the Philadelphia Beauticians' Convention held at the Y.M.C.A. Building by Mme. Bramlette-Willis, manufacturer of the famous Hawaiian Hair Products. The Hawaiian Finger Waving products are nationally advertised and used by leading beauty shops and schools throughout the country. These articles have been on the market only since April, 1931, and have met with such public
approval everywhere that special interest was shown by all in this particular demonstration. Mme, Sarah Washington is the commendable men in for her broad spirit in cooperating with Mme, Bramlette-Willis by giving over her booth for the demonstration.
Miss Lois Stewart, expert operator at the Hawaiian System headquarters, Washington, D. C., produced a most beautiful wave on his subject. The outstanding features of the Hawaiian Waving products were plainly obvious to the large watching audience as Miss Stewart progressed in the operation of producing waves in pressed hair without heat. She used only the Hawaiian Waving Cream, Brilliantine oil, a regular marcel comb and her fingers. The hair absorbed all the materials used and did not need any artificial drying process upon completion of the waving. The hair was exceedingly soft and absolutely free from grease, gum, wax, excess oil or stickiness of any kind. The finesse of Moss Stewart's workmanship and the superiority of the Hawaiian System products won instant acclaim from everyone.
Mme. Bramlette-Willis addressed the Convention and Association members immediately after the demonstration. She and her party motored back to Washington, D.C., accompanied by Mr. J. A. Jackson, business expert of the Department of Commerce.

Childhood Romance Culminates
On the glorious evening of June 1, a romance of many years culminated in the marriage of Miss Berneda Shirley Alexander, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Alexander, to Mr. Carl N. Pierce, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jones. The wedding ceremony was performed at the home of Rev. Joseph Whiting, of Friendship Baptist Church. Later the couple hastened to the groom's home, 1604 First street, northwest, where they were tendered a delightful reception. Miss Bertha Payne, of Baltimore, was the brides maid, and Mr. Albert Johnson the best man.
The couple was very stunning, Mrs. Pierce was wearing a dress of silk net and taffetta with lace gloves and white moiree slippers and lace cap with truffle veil. Her maid wore a corn colored net with large picture hat and moiree slippers. The bride carried bridal illies and the maid pink peonies. The gentlemen were in formal attire. Some one hundred guests were present at the reception. All were egusthiastic in their praise of the lovely bride.
Among the guests were the bride's aunt, Mrs. Ellen Payne, of Baltimore, and a party of five. The young couple received many attractive and useful gifts, among them being dishes, lamps, comforts, silver, pictures, quilts, linen, a perculator, cushions and other furnishings. They will reside at the groom's home.
The bride was born in Washington D.C., and is a graduate of Dunbar High School. Her former residence was 213 I street, northwest. The groom was born in North

Spring House Cleaning
S
PRING cleaning is still a well-observed tradition, even though it is by no means the strenuous orgy of former years. Some modern women do say, "Spring house cleaning? Why the very words suggest that the house is dirty, And I always keep my house clean." But most home-makers realize that the winter's soot and dust make even the cleanest of houses need a complete renovating, at the season of the year when all outdoors regains its freshness and gaiety.
The up-to-date housekeeper systematizes her cleaning, avoiding a simultaneous upheaval of every room. She cleans only two or three rooms at a time, spreading the work over a number of days. Her family is never in total discomfort, therefore, and the strain of the work is not so severe upon herself. A first step in the process is to the washcloth, which is some of them going to the dry-cleaners and others into the wash-tub. If the washable white curtains are badly soiled with soot they may be dipped into a bath of lukewarm weak ammonia water,
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1932
Circus Is Entertaining Affair
(By Juvenile Reporter)
A circus parade presented by the children of the John F. Cook School on Wednesday, June 1, at noon was one of the important features of the circus. In the line of march there were the patrol boys carrying the flag and the school banner, the clown band, the giraffe, the ostrich, the ponies, the Indians and Cowboys, the gooik, the giant hootus, the lion, bears, monkeys, elephants, trainers and attendants.
There were also decorated floats representing health, the museum of curiosities, the fortune telling booth, the circus ambulance, etc. The parade which moved west on P street to Third, south on Third street to O, east on O street back to the school yard was well attended, by many children and teachers from neighboring schools, parents, friends and school officials. The parade also served as an excellent advertisement for the show which was held in the school auditorium on Thursday and Friday, June 2 and 8, at 1:15 p.m. Each night the participants played to capacity audiences who showed their enthusiasm and appreciation by vigorous applause.
Joseph McCormick, as ringmaster, deserves honorable mention for the noise, case and enunciation he displayed. The dances numbering nine in all were well executed and very colorful. The animal acts were heartily received by the children as well as the adults and caused a deal of merriment. The pyramid builders did some very good work and the clown band will long be remembered for their costumes, music and antics. Nor can those who witnessed the performance forget soon Washington's popular juvenile acrobats, The Arnold Sisters. L. L. Perry is supervising principal; J. C. Payne, administrative principal, and Lillian E. Tanner, general chairman and directress.
School Club On Picnic
(By Special Correspondent)
The annual outing of the School Club took place Saturday at Colton. All of the members of the club in city and a dozen guests made a rollicking party of twenty-five.
Nearly all arrived for breakfast at 9:30. 'G. David Houston was first to appear. His car spotless of dust and with engine silent and cold seemed to belle his boast that he drove the distance of 50 odd miles in something less than four hours. Many members not daring to dispute the veracity of venerable Dave opined that he probably left Washington in the cool of the preceding evening. Like a good general, Garnet Wilkinson left the battle ground in D.C. last, and with his aid-de-camp, Faithful George, came late, but not too late to get into everything but breakfast.
At the breakfast table Bishop Dave bestrode one end and President Gene Clark sat around the head of the table. Here between gulps of the carcasses of the denizens of the sea and fruit of the hen the topics of mental enlightenment included "The Bishopric, the abolishment of courses in letter writing, fees of special correspondents, beautiful friendships busted, settlement of difficulties at Howard by employing School Club men, Ph. D.'s and Fools, and other weight points of departure. Need less to state, indigestion tablets, bread-soda, and sleep for some were necessary to re-condition the athletes for after breakfast activity. The entire club with the exception of one member went on a cruise. Under a benign sun a jolly crowd of twenty-four went to sea on the Golden yacht. One lone member was left.
Only one incident marred the sea voyage. Out in turbulent mid-stream the craft, ceased throbbing.
and then soaked in several cold rinse waters to free them of dry dust before they are laundered. Spring is the season for making fresh slip, covers of linens, chintzes, percales or other flowered, striped, toile figured or plaid materials. In washing walls, begin at the top and work down to avoid streaking, using a sponge wrung as dry as possible from water containing a mild soap or washing powder. If the walls are not washable, they and the ceilings should be thoroughly dusted with a long-handled wall brush or a broom wrapped in a soft cloth. Liquid wax glaze should be applied after cleaning to rough plaster walls as a protection against ingrained dirt; and it also guards wallpapers from soil, although the glaze should first be tested on a sample of the paper pasted against a flat surface. After the windows are washed they should be polished with a chamois wrung out of clear water.
Vacuum cleaner attachments are useful in cleaning almost everything—upholstered furniture, mattresses and even books, as well as rugs and some draperies. Wood furniture should be dusted with a soft, worn cloth and then waxed. The wax serves as a cleanser as well as a polisher, and protects the finish from gritter particles and ground-in dust.
Finally apply wax lightly to the floor as a protection and a polish, and a rich, mirror-like finish can easily be secured by an electric polisher.
COLLEGE ALUMNAE CLUB ENTERTAINS HOWARD SENIORS
The annual reception in honor of the senior girls of Howard University sponsored by the College Alumnae Club was held Saturday at the Phyllis Wheatlev Y.W.C.A. The address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. Louise Pack, president of the organization, while a series of two minute talks was given by former president of the club. Mrs. Elsie B. Smith, chairman of the committee on entertainment, introduced the speakers. Mrs. Mary C. Terrell, Dean Lucy Slowe, of Howard University, Miss Mary McNeil, Dr. Georgiana Simpson, Miss Thomasine Corruthers and Miss Juanita Howard were among the two-minute speakers.
At the conclusion of this part of the program five members of the club presented a playlette, "Let's Be A Little Coocoo." Those taking part in the play were Mrs. Gladys Edmonson, Miss Clotilde Houston, Miss Sophia Edlin, Miss Harriet Collier and Miss Helen Sparks.
Graduate Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Holds Final
The Alpha Sigma chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity held its final meeting of the school year on Saturday night, June 4. The chapter was elaborately entertained at a smoker and banquet at 1845 Vernon street by James A. Jackson, of the Dept. of Commerce, and William A. Baltimore, of the public schools. The meeting was one of the best in recent years and was well attended both by local members and by visiting members and guests. Among those who were present were Attorney A. W. Mitchell, general president of the fraternity; Warrant Officer John L. Walker, U. S. A., brothers W. A. Baltimore, Jos. Bryant, L. M. Caine, H. Y. Chase, W. L. Carter, Rev. J. L. S. Lolloman, Dr. J. N. Dodson, Dr. Foster, Clarence Ingram, J. E. Jones, Prof. J. W. Lewis, Dr. B. H. Early, James A. Jackson, Attorney G. H. Parker, Robinson, J. T. A. Smith, A. L. Taylor, Dr. J. A. Turner, Dr. C. A. Walwyn, Prof. C. G. Williams.
The engineer applied brakes. Tiller Kiger, Savoy grew alarmed. The club became restless. Then calmly the chairman of the outing committee bagan to disrobe. Spurring a bathing suit he appeared shockingly in Tarzan attire and disappeared beneath the waters of the bay. While the boat drifted idly with its top heavy administrative load, this ruthless fellow bespented in the waters and finally gave orders to the skipper to haul the fellows ashore.
Returned, the club ingested the Golden meal at dinner. Tob full for utterances a work-out was decided upon. At a baseball game, a pitcher's battle resulted between Dave and Ed. The scoring was small. Only ten home runs were batted out against Dave. Phophei Elihu Hunter, Dec. Bailey, Ed. Westmoreland, G. C. Wilkinson, and Harold Hayden starred. The most sensational play was a nose dive by pitcher Dave Houston done in perfect form with much sod displaced. Those sterling athletes John Nalle, Harry Atwood, Prof. Bates, Jimmy Cowan, Henry Grant and Clyde McDuffie battled out their difficulties at card games of "White Jack" and Bridge." Shuffle Boards games, usually played by the idle rich was taken to with avidity by Charley Thomas, Dr. Bailey, and Creed Childs. At pool tables, Vaughn, Wilk and George received lessons at the hands of the pride of Four and a Half street in the early "eighties."—Jack Bruce. At times Creed Childs played the piano and awakened present and past day romances in the minds of the members and guests. Only when certain members began to sing were these reminiscences disturbed. After some heated battles at paddle tennis, the club members began to disperse. Houston and his guest started before dark to avoid missing school Monday morning. Others left later in the evening. All voted the 1932 outing a good time.
Among the members and guests present were: Messrs.: Bruce, McDuffie, Houston, Wilkinson, Lewis, Bailis, Grant, Henderson, Savo., Clark, Vaughn, Thomas, Mattingly, Hunter, Webster, Haynes, Bates, Westmoreland, Childs, Atwood, Nalle and George.

When Is a Plum
Query Which Stumped George
Judge Gordon Reports
By JUDGE
Radio Food
GEORGE Rector and I conducted a cooking school out west, and after the session was over, housewives asked us all sorts of questions. Mr. Rector and I could answer most of them, but one stumped us. I can answer the question now as I have done some research work on it. "When is a plum not a prune?" was the question.
All prunes are plums, but all plums are not prunes. The prune is "a plum which can be dried without the removal of the pit without fermentation — the result being a fleshy pulp with a high degree of sweetness." Plums which will not do this are not prunes. No longer is the prune a lowly booming house dessert. Imagina-
?
tive cooks have made it the most popular dessert. Last year in California and Oregon, the prune centers of the United States, approximately 410,000,000 pounds of prunes were produced. The prune is America's most economical luxury, as well as being exceedingly healthful. It is rich in vitamins A and B, and in iron, calcium and phosphorous—even the plebian stewed prune is rich in these health-giving elements.
Of course, some imagination is necessary to make a tempting side dish or dessert but the result can be truly delightful.
I like prune whip, and I like spiced prunes as a relish. Here are

The entire coffee industry of Cuba is concentrated in the Province of Oriente, at the extreme eastern end of the island, where, the report states, 145,431 acres are in cultivation, with an average production of some 500 pounds to the acre. The industry now provides employment to 28,214 persons.

FOSTER AND FORD NAMED TO HEAD COMMUNIST TICKET
CHICAGO.—(By Mabel Byrd, Staff Correspondent for the Associated Negro Press)—William Z. Foster and James W. Ford were nominated President and Vice-President, respectively, at the Second Nominating Convention of the Communist Party of the United States, Saturday night, May 28, at the Coliseum, Chicago, Ill.
The resounding applause that greeted the nomination of both candidates and especially the latter, indicated the wholehearted acceptance of the nominees, by the representatives of forty-three states and the District of Columbia. One thousand delegates from the East, North, South and West, indicated their support of the candidates, speakers from every delegation of the convention went on record that not only their delegation but the organization from which they came were behind the presidential representatives of the Communist party. Farmers organizations, International Labor Defense groups, ex-service men, fraternal organizations each separately indicated their support of the candidates.
William Z. Foster, the presidential candidate, is one of the oldest radical leaders of the movement. At present he is one of the leading figures in the powerful executive committee of the Communist Inter-national, of which Stallin is chairman.
Expelled As Socialist Foster, was expelled from the Socialist Party in 1909 for his revolutionary tendencies. Well-known as an industrial organizer in the meat packing and steel industries, he was the leader of the great steel strike of 1918 when 400,000 workers laid down their tools; In 1921, he joined the Communist Party, after attending various conventions in Russia. Twice before he has been a candidate for President, first in 1924 and again in 1928.
His recent book, "Toward Soviet America," is a statement of his aims and ambitions, which, of course, are the aims and ambitions of the Communist Party.
His running mate, James W. Ford, a Negro of Alabama, has had, likewise, an interesting career, which finally led him into the Communist Party in 1926. Born of working class parents, Ford early went to work in the steel mills of Ensley, Ala. The Lynching of his grandfather, is one of the earliest memories which were responsible for his revolutionary and class-conscious tendencies. Having worked his way through high school and later Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., he was called to the colors in 1917, before graduation, and while with the 92nd Division in France, he helped organize the protest meeting against Jim-crowism and the mistreatment of Negro soldiers, especially the frame-up charges of rape against soldiers of his outfit.
Among other offices in the Communist Party, he has been secretary of the Inter-national Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers and editor of the "Negro Worker." During 1931, he toured Europe in behalf of the eight Scottsboro boys, who have been sentenced to death by the Alabama court.
Foster in his acceptance speech, recalled the futility of the Coolidge prosperity of the 1928 election, "Our party," he said, "in 1928 showed that the prosperity did not reach the great masses of workers and farmers. It pointed out the economic contradictions of capitalization and foretold the great crisis and starvation to come. It warned the workers of the impending war danger. It summoned the toiling masses to a program of class struggle, against the existing untolerable situation and for the abolition of the capitalist system.
"The present situation completely justifies the position of the Communist Party and belies the promises that capitalists and their A.F. of L., and Socialist party
17-Year-Old Girl Jailed On Shoplifting Charge

The girl claimed she was framed by two girls who ran pass her and left a shopping bag containing the stockings beside her.

made. The capitalists' system is in the deepest crisis of its career, both in the United States and all over the world. Production is at 50 per cent of normal and constantly declines. While the great masses starve, the wells and factories close down in a criminally absurd crisis of over-production. Twelve million workers walk the streets unemployed, and 10,000,000 more work only part time.
"The Republican and Democratic parties are soon to hold their conventions here in Chicago, but the workers can expect nothing from them except a continuation of the present misery and starvation. No matter which of these two parties carry the election, the same starvation policies of big capital will go into effect. . . . The Hoover Republican Government, the instrument of the dictatorship of big capital, has refused to establish a system of unemployment insurance; it has helped the employers all over the country to cut wages, it has instituted the starvation stages system; it has supported the growing terror against Negro masses. It has inaugurated a monstrous deportation of foreign-born workers. With police bunnies and troops it meets every move of the workers to strike or demonstrate for relief. With billions for the banks and railroads, it has nothing but the iron fist for the worker."
In conclusion he said, "I shall try to be worthy of this great honor. One thing is certain, before long a Communist will stand at the head of the American Government."
James W. Ford
Amid a vociferous round of applause, and an chanting of the International, the Coliseum, decorated with caricatures of Henry Ford, Thomas, Smith, the placards of "Down With Boss War," "Equal Rights for Negroes," Self Determination," Stop Scottsboro Murder," candidate James W. Ford, the first Negro vice presidential made a most stirring acceptance speech. He closed by saying: "In this so-called democratic United States, which is at the peak of capitalist culture, the white ruling classes carry out the most shameless oppression of 12,000,000 Negroes, jim-crowning and persecuting them, and on all hands denying them the most elementary human rights. Negroes exist as a nation of social outcasts in this country."
"And now, today, the crisis has sharpened thi and brought untold misery to the Negro masses. One out of every three Negroes are unemployed. The only way for the Negro workers to overcome these conditions is by organizing to struggle against them.
Political Equality
"The Communist party fights for the unconditional political, economic and social equality for the Negroes.

Mrs. B. J. Davis Passed Away
ATLANTA, Ga.—Mrs. B. J. Davis passed away in this city Thursday night. The end came as a result of a stroke of apoplexy. Funeral services were held at eleven o'clock Saturday from the Friendship Baptist Church on West Mitchell street. Dr. E. R. Carter, a fifty year pastor, delivered the funeral oration.
The news of her death was received by thousands of admirers who had known her for years, where she has resided and reared two children. Her husband, B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent and leader in civic and political affairs in the state of Georgia for the past twenty-five years, was overcome by this sudden death. His friends from throughout the nation began at once to send him messages of condolence and words of sympathy.
Mrs. Davis is survived by her husband, a son, B. J. Davis, Jr., of Chicago; and a daughter. Miss Johnnie Katherine Davis and other relatives.

The American Flag has forged to a very prominent place in the world of great nations. It is now well known the world over. It is possibly the dominating flag of the world today. But, what price glory!
Does this flag of "Stars and Stripes" mean the same to all the citizens of the United States? Does this flag mean the same today that it meant one hundred years ago? Is it a "symbol of human freedom?" Is it an emblem "of equal opportunity?" And does the Stars and Stripes guarantee political liberty?
To more than 12,000,000 American citizens the American Flag does not mean "the symbol of human freedom," for peonage exists in ten or more of our Southern States. It does not carry "equal opportunity" to these 12,000,000 Americans, for they are denied "equal opportunity" by the very Government represented by this flag. More than 9,000,000 native born Americans do not have "political liberty," for more than a dozen Southern States will not allow these American citizens to exercise their franchise.
With these and other facts before us we can appreciate Bishop Turner's position and thoughts when he declared "the flag is a dirty rag."
With many of the veterans here trying to get their bonus, there are hundreds of them who can not appreciate this flag for forcing them into the world war and now forcing them into poverty. It seems strange that a country who can feed men into war for democracy; and who can feed the hungry of Belgium and China cannot heed the cry of these men who were willing to lay down their lives for the Flag.
THE STORY OF THE FLAG
June 14, Flag Day, has ever carried the deegest meaning to every true American. This year the day five-pointed star to show what she will carry a tenfold significance, as meant. For a few minutes longer the nation celebrates the Two Hundred Anniversary of the Birth of quickly as nimble fingers could George Washington. For to Gen-execute the task, Mrs. Ross had eral Washington, tradition credits the flag in being.
So, in this homely fashion which so well suits the American spirit, was born the emblem designed by Washington, coming almost like a direct gift from him, to fly ever since over the nation that he also designed. Today, every American is privileged to ponder on the stupendous human events and influences that have flowed from this simple incident at the house of Betsy Ross a century and a half ago.
Hardly had the American flag appeared when it began to play an immortal part in our history. It first was flung in the face of the enemy less than two months after its creation at Fort Stanwix, on August 3, 1777. It was first carried into battle by George Washington's troops at the Battle of the Brandywine, September 11, 1777. It was first saluted by the Britist at the surrender of Burgoyne, October 17, 1777. On February 14, 1778, John Paul Jones took the first salute to the flag as a naval emblem when he sailed the "Ranger" into Quiberon Bay, France. On April 24, the same year he forced the first striking of colors to the American flag by the British ship "Drake," in a British port. In 1787 the flag was first carried around the world by the ship "Columbia," sailing from Boston. It was first flown in battle in the Pacific by the U. S. Friigate "Essex" in 1813, and in the next year it inspired Francis Scott Key to "The Star Spangled Banner."
Once, in 1794, when Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union, the stars and stripes were increased to 15; but in 1818 Congress fixed the final form of the flag as of thirteen stripes, with a star to represent each state.
Since the Revolutionary War when Attucks fell first on Boston Commons, the Negro has carried the flag aloft, shedding his blood in every American war to keep it from trailing the dust.
On April 6, 1909, Admiral Perry planted the first American flag at the North Pole. Since then Admiral Byrd has carried it to both poles. Wherever it has gone it has meant honor and achievement, but this year it floats in honor of the greatest of American, and the greatest of achievements.-George Washington, and his creation of the United States.

June 14, Flag Day, has ever carried the deepest meaning to every true American. This year the day will carry a tenfold significance, as the nation celebrates the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington. Fo. to General Washington, tradition credits a leading part in the very designing of the flag, and what he did to give it meaning is and will be known to every American as long as our country lives.
On June 14, 1777, Congress resolved: "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
In these simple words, authority was given to General Washington to design the flag, and on the same da. tradition has it that he went to the house of Betsy Ross on that visit which has become one of the finest pages of American folklore. With him, according to the account, went Robert Morris and George Ross, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the uncle of Betsy Ross' deceased husband.
On entering her modest house in Arch street, Philadelphia, they are said to have found Mistress Ross busy at her needlework and humming a tune—softly, however, so that she might hear the tinkle of the bell on the door of her shop at the front of the house—and General Washington thus simply stat-
"Mistress Ross, we have come to ask you to help in making a flag for our country. We do not feel pleased with the grand union flag because of the King's colors in the canton, so we have planned another."
The "grand union" flag, referred to by Washington was the one he himself had designed and first flung to the breeze on January 1, 1776, during his siege of Boston. This was at a time when the Revolutionists still felt they were fighting, not the Britains' king, but his ministers; hence Washington's flag consisted of the thirteen alternate red and white stripes, but bore in its canton the king's crosses of St. George and St. Anthony. By 1777 the Revolutionists were fighting solely for an American nation, and they wanted an American flag.
Mrs. Ross, it is said, undertook the making of the flag eagerly, and witt, an exalted sense of the unusual honor conferred upon her. Not only that, she even suggested to Washington a slight correction in the design, which bore six-pointed stars instead of the five-pointed type of heraldry. With a

A REPRESENTATIVE, MILITANT ORGANIZATION
Washington truly needs a representative, militant organization. At present there is not a single representative militant organization among Negroes in the District of Columbia. The District is woefully lacking in leadership in this 19.000. They lack program, perseverance and militancy.
The parent-teachers lack the leadership of a Mrs. Tanner. The civic associations are made of pussyfooting government employees and scared school teachers. They have no sting.
A resolution was offered in February at the meeting of the Feredated Civic Associations naming Henry Gilligan as unfit for the Board of Education, protesting against his demonstrated race prejudice. The soft-soaping Government employees objected to naming and sent the resolution to the Board without naming anyone, only to have it returned to them asking whom they meant. The association has not named the man yet. He is to be renamed for the Board of Education this month. Where is the organization with power to stop him?
Scared Government employees cannot build nor be members of a real serviceable organization.
A sanatorium is needed for our tubercular children of school age. Eighty-three are in the Toner School, and fifty-five on the waiting list. There is not a single organization making a fight for this vital necessity to our school system.
Inequalities exist here in every Government department and bureau in Washington. Particularly is this true in the District employment. What organization is fighting for more employment in District government?
The northwest section needs a comfort station in the Florida avenue and U street section. The civic associations have forgotten this.
Washington is suffering from needed militant leadership. There are plenty of leaders and would-be leaders here, but they lack the punch necessary to put over a strenuous program.
There is the question of reduced rents, which need organization. Everything else in Washington has been reduced except rents. Why should selfish landlords be permitted to keep their rents up? Where is the organization with the coarage to attack this problem with force to produce results? The rentees will have to form their own organization and make their demands. But will they?
AS A WOMAN SEES IT
A white woman with whom we were chatting the other day, asked us, "Don't you find it easier to get along with the white race than your own race? I've heard that they ca.' intelligent colored people 'dicties.' " And we had to admit that there was within our race a number of people who hated to see the other fellow ahead.
Then last night we sat in a meeting of colored people and listened to one or two of the speakers as they, in their zeal, downed the members of their race who had fought their way ahead. The general attitude of the group could be summed up in the words of one man: "the so-called educated and professional Negroes have done less to help their race than anyone else."
And we were forced to ask ourselves if one of the biggest faults of the Negro was not the smallness of the man. We are fully cognizant of the fact that there are scores of people who are only too eager to point out to the Negro race its fallacies; but is not this one worth noting?
The inconsistency of our attitudes is shown in the fact that we would rise in a body to point out to any white critic the educated

DIGESTING THE NEWS
WHAT NORFOLK HAS DONE!
Some of the recent developments in the Negro financial world prompted me to study some of the past financial developments as noted in my voluminous files and the precedent set by some enterprising Norfolkians serves, exceptionally well, to express my thought on our latest financial fiasco.
I refer, specially, to the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, of Norfolk. My records show that in January 1831 the bank closed its doors, for readjustment, with the usual result that hundreds of thousands of dollars were definite tied up.

Fortunately, the depositors, stockholders, citizens and sympathizers realized that the investments so tied up could more profitably be liquidated by restoring life to the closed bank and to this end their activities were centered.
Undoubtedly, they readily discovered several serious weaknesses, both within and without, the closed institution, and these defective parts were skillfully eradicated, leaving a perfectly sound and healthy structure on which to build anew.
With the improved framework they were ready to complete the structure and this they did by enthusing new confidence and respect in their efforts with the result that on July 14, 1931, the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, again re-opened their doors with new capital and an enlarged surplus.
That same week, (July 18) the Norfolk Journal and Guide, put out a special edition on the reconstructed bank, which edition, in my opinion, was one of the high-light

these same men and women as "dicties."
Every day you hear someone say, "No indeed, I'm going to get me a white lawyer. I don't trust these niggers;" "I'm going to put my money in a white bank, and I'll know it's safe;" or "No, I ain't going to put my money in no colored insurance company. I don't want and colored folks fooling with my money."
Granted that there are crooked men in the Negro race; so are there in the white race. Look at the failure of the F. H. Smith Co. (and the number of Negroes who suffered thereby) and the great Swedish Match King who lived a life of sham and died a traitor to millions of people.
The Negro has shown clearly that in spite of discouragement, oppositions, discriminations and all the other handicaps which he has encountered in the less than seventy years since slavery, that he is going to come out ahead anyway, so when you see one making the goal, not say, "well done, keep it up," rather than "dicty."
THE NEWS
C. MITCHELL
The foregoing digest, briefly analyzed, shows not only what is possible to do under such circumstances but actual accomplishment proves conclusively what can be done, when reason, tolerance and cooperation take the place of vindictiveness, indifference and jealous bickering.
On the other hand, the foregoing illustration, proves that confidence and respect must be earned. It cannot be secured through force, intimidation, legislation or decree. And the best way to secure this most needed confidence and respect is to prove to the satisfaction of the depositors, stockholders and the general public that you recognize your own weaknesses and these you will gladly and quickly shed in order to effect a strong foundation on which to re-build.
We have heard much of the business acumen of Chicagoians and during the next few weeks, and perhaps months, we are going to carefully watch and record their efforts, and see whether their citizens can come together, in a crisis, for a common cause, and accomplish what Norfolk has done.

OUR MAIL BAG
THE BREAKDOWN IN NEGRO LEADERSHIP
The world is bankrupt for leadership. The World War upset the existing fabric of human order. Lenin, Mussolini and Mustopha Kamel are the only leaders of the reconstructed world who seem able to bring order out of chaos. The United States, England, France and Germany have failed to produce a single commanding leader who is able to grapple with the new order of things precipitated by this great conflict
When we limit our horizon to the Negro group the breakdown is pathetic. Through tyranny and selfish greed both Liberia and Hayti have faded from the picture as national entities. In the field of domestic politics the race has been reduced to political nullity through the selfish ambitions, petty jealousies and venality of our political henchmen, our leaders. New opportunities are thrust upon us by virtue of the northern migration of a million Negro voters into states and communities of unrestricted franchise. Will the new leadership prove equal to the imposed task? We must await the coming of November for the answer.
Under the impact of modern science, the religious systems are weakening in their sanction over human thought and conduct. The Negro church is deeply discounted by the too frequent failure of those who have come to the high places of spiritual leadership and authority. The recent drastic action within the great A. M. E. Church has brought that denomination to the dust and ashes of humiliation within in the eyes of its own membership query in the eyes of the religious self-leadership into serious query in the eyes of the religious world. A bishop with an itching palm is an abomination before God and man. The young, high-minded youths of the race who grasp the vast opportunity of the religious estate which must shortly fall to their hands to administer must either purify or repudiate the Negro church. Herein lies the saddest plight of all. Men whom fortune raised to the highest ranks of prelacy, instead of leading their people in simplicity, righteousness and self respect, set themselves up as potentates exhibiting the tyranny, licentiousness and unhallowed thirst for greed and power which characterized autocracy at its worst.
A few years ago, we were led to hope that the Negro would accomplish marvels by way of individual and associated business enterprises. We were boasting of the number and volume of business of our banks, insurance companies and building associations. Most of these have failed—some through

ON BEHALF OF THE JUNIOR
N. A. A. C. P.
I was extremely pleased to read your editorial on "What's Wrong With the N.A.A.C.P.?" in your June 3, editorial. I agree with you that the association is apparently "resting its oars" on the Judge Parker case. There is one incident connected with the recent convention of that great body in this city that certainly emphasized a point over which I have been militantly engaged (for the past two months) in striving to overcome and wipe out. I speak of the shameful treatment that was accorded to the junior organization of the N.A.A.C.P.
During the week of the convention, the greater part of which was held at the Shiloh Baptist Church, specific programs and discussions were scheduled for sessions held in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. On Thursday afternoon of the convention week two ex-
unavoidable exigencies of business, while others have been victims of incompetent or dishonest management. Our fraternities and secret orders survive only after internal bickering and expensive lawsuits where selfish and ambitious leaders waste the substance of the membership to gratify their petty rivalries and insane jealousies.
In the field of education, the whites generally exercise reserved control, leaving to the Negro only subordinate authority over intimate details. Recently several of our largest educational plants have been turned over to Negro supervision and control. We stand appalled at the internal commotion and external agitation now raging around Howard University, our principal institution of higher learning, and are tremulous as to the outcome of this noble experiment. The Negro race, one deeply regrets to say, seems calcuously indifferent as to the outcome of this paramount opportunity to demonstrate capacity for self direction in this most important function.
It should not be necessary to say that this indictment, is not wholesale. The preacher c pessimism promotes no progress. One might go so far as to say that the majority of our leaders under the several catagories do not fall under condemnation, above pointed out. But we expect that in this day of enlightenment, well nigh one hundred per cent of those elevated to leadership must be excellent, if not perfect. A correspondent answering my condemnation of the prelates of a great denomination, rejoined that a majority of its bishops were honest men. Great God, a majority is not enough. A grocerman would ruin his reputation among his customers by assuring them that a majority of the eggs in a basket or of the apples in a barrel are sound. Sound business calls for the approximation of one hundred per cent excellence
All of the lines of failure above pointed out may be traced to the same cause: selfishness, tyranny, vanity, greed and petty jealousy. Will it ever be thus or must we needs turn to whi leadership for salvation? I rather venture the hope that the race being made fully aware of its imbecilities will purge itself of these imperfections. I would give Negro youth who find themselves in the high places of leadership and authority the advice of Hamlet to faithless parent: "Mother, assume chastity, if you have it not." The higher education of the Negro will prove to be an utter failure unless in the next half generation it produces a class of men and women who will guide, guard and govern the race along all lines of endeavor with the requisite competence, consecration and character.
tremely vital subjects were presented for discussion viz:
1. The Crisis magazine, led, of course, by the distinguished Dr. DuBois.
2. Youth and the N.A.A.C.P. Needless to say Dr. DuBois and his contemporaries exhausted the greater part of the afternoon with seemingly endless dissertations about his magazine, the greater part of which consisted in flowery and mushy tributes to the wonderful ability of Dr. DuBois. I might add, however, in the spirit of fairness that the scholarly gentleman manfully requested his audience to refrain from turning the meeting into a proverbial "love-feast" as he appropriately termed it.
At the conclusion of the first discussion, I noticed with dismay and disgust that the audience began to "weed out" considerably. A very energetic little young woman (a Nannie Burroughs in the embryo) seriously urged them to remain, but a goodly number made the well known "exit." Words are not quite capable of commending the excellent program that the juniors presented. Brilliant addresses were delivered by a Howard University senior, a brilliant young school teacher, who is, incidentally, the president of the Washington Junior. N.A.A.C.P. and extremely charming, yet militant young people's champion, Lillian Anthony, of Newark, related in an interesting demeanor the accomplishments and deeds of New Jersey youth.
A sad commentary on our group of elders was evidenced when after each speaker had concluded his remarks a "drove" would rush for the door. Evidently, the remarks of the "young uns" were getting too tepid for them. I have merely mentioned this particular incident to warn our neglectful fathers and mothers that if you continue to discourage and break down the fine qualities of ambition, courage and determination that is characteristic of our modern youth, you are merely retarding and holding back the fulfilment of a Biblical prophecy, "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand." Give youth a chance! You had yours!

WEEK-END MOSAICS
By AlgernonB. Jackson, M.D.
From time to time I like to pass on to you bits of science which should be interesting even though you are not a scientist. When any of us go to the hospital for a surgical operation we accept an anesthetic as a matter of course, little drawing of the trials of discovery which have made surgery painless. The year just passed marked the dreaming of the trials of discovery of chloroform. Like many another compound, several had participated in the almost simultaneous announcement of the discovery—Liebig in Germany, and Soubeirin in France. Samuel Guthrie, a hopeful young American physician, had several months before prepared a distillate of pleasant odor which passed on to Sillman for identification.
Liebig's basic raws were chloral and caustic potash, while Souberian treated ethyl alcohol with chloride of lime. Guthrie while using the same basic raws as Souberian was really seeking the preparation of ethylene chloride, which at that time had attracted medical attention. Although ethylene was discovered in about the same year that Lord Nelson destroyed Napoleon's sea power at the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar in 1797, it was not until 1923 that it first came into general use as an anesthetic at the F. abyterian Hospital in Chicago. The story of ethylene is typical.
A century and better of the use of anesthetics has not extended their numbers to any great degree. Since the major function of anesthetics is the production of insensibility, a better understanding as to thetics is the production of insensiary before the field of anaesthetics can be enlarged, extended.
BOOK REVIEWS
"INFANTS OF TFE SPRING"
After much difficulty, I secured and read, Wallace Thurman's, "Infants of the Spring," and after having read it I am still in a mental haze as to its contents, being somewhat in the position as some of Thurman's characters in the morning following one of their all-night gin-soaked lustful revelers. Of course, I remember that the scene is in Harlem, and the characters, for the most part, are drawn from that group considered as cosmopolitan bohemians, of mixed races and nationalities. We are taken behind the scenes in their daily lives and, perhaps, discovered why their creativeness is not more generally known, for their energy seems to be spent in creating bizarre and sensuous means of social entertainment which some of the artists defend as necessary and inspirational atmosphere.
From their conversations we receive snatches of various worldly subjects and from their activities we observe every form of human passion, including free love, rape, miscegenation, homosexuality and a general verbal expression of feeling and opinion on each.
The characters are entirely too numerous and they fit to and fro so rapidly that individual descriptions are impractical in this short comment but taking them in general they will avidly entertain all readers who seek unadulterated bits of real life in their fiction. Wallace Thurman's "infants" are torridly adolescent, physically, if not mentally.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE A SALOON KEEPER
MASSILON, Ohio — (ANP) Bricktats which were hurled a William Pickens, contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press following the delivery of an address on Abraham Lincoln before a large white audience here in February were recently transformed into lovely roses by the publication of a faecimile in Liberty magazine of the license to operate a saloon in Sangamon County, Illinois, which was issued to Abramham Lincoln and William 'Berry in Berry's name on March 863.
Mr. Pickens, in the midst of a eulogy of the Emancipator had made the following statement;
"Abraham Lincoln's life ran the whole gamut of American history. He was born into 'poor white trash' of the southern backwoods; he was pioneer and frontiersman; he was rail-splitter and flat-boatsman; he was champion wrestler, cock-pit umpire and saloon-keeper."
This last name stirred theire of Lincoln's admirers in this city many of whom disputed that Lincoln had ever run a saloon. But the license, as published in Liberty and as reprinted from in the Evening Independent of this city, proves that Mr. Pickens was right and the local citizenry wrong. The license reads:
"Ordered that William F. Berry in the name o" Berry and Lincoln have a license to keep a tavern in New Salem to continue twelve months from this date, and that they pay one dollar addition to the six dollars heretofore paid as treasurer's receipt, and that they be allowed the following rates viz.:"
A reproduction of a bond of $30 given by the prospective tavern keepers was also affixed on the facsimile. In the bond Lincoln and his partner promised not to sell liquor to Negroes, Indians or children and to obey the liquor laws of the state of Illinois. The text of the bond was:
"Know all men by these presents We, William F. Berry, Abraham Lincoln and John Bowling Green are held and firmly bound unto the county commissioners of Sangamon County in the full sum of three hundred dollars, to which payment will and truly to be made we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators firm by these presents, sealed with our seal and dated this 6th day of March, A.D. 1833. Now the edition of this obligation is en that, whereas the said Berry p. Lincoln have obtained a license from the country commission court to keep a tavern in the town of New Salem to continue a year. Now is the said Berry Lincoln shall be of good behavior and observe all the laws of state relative to tavern-keen this obligation to be paid otherwise remain in force."
HIGH STANDARD SHOWN BY NEGRO IN CONNECTION
(CNS)—Figures released by the Bureau of Census on Connection indicate a comparatively high standard of living for the "Nugem State's" 29,354 Negro population. An analysis of the figure shows the Negro family on a average to be small, to live in homes of high standard. Strikingly significant was the fact that comparatively small number of the women homemakers in the family found it necessary to absent them selves from their homes working at gainful employment.
According to the Bureau of Census there are 7,174 Negro families in the State, 1,087 of whom own their homes. The average value of these homes was $4,739 as compared with an average value of $7,460 for homes of whites. One significant fact was that only 5% Negro homes were valued at less than $'000 and the largest single number had the estimated value of from $3,000 to $5,000. Eighty-nine homes were repo'te to range in value from $10,000 to $14,995 21 ranged from $15,000 to $19,999 7 were reported to have a value o'ver $20,000.
There were reported to be 5,95' rented dwellings occupied by Negro families. Only 195 such tenant families paid a rental of less than $10 a month. The larger single group, 2,458 paid a monthly rental ranging from $20 to $29 The average rental for Negro tenant homes was $22.02, while the similar average for white home was $32.13. Only four families however, occupied dwellings in the State for which a monthly renta off $100 was paid.
The size of the Negro family in the State was smaller on an average than that of white families The median figure for Negro families was 2.81, while that for all families was 3.45. Of the 6,508 homes having homemakers, 2,406 of them worked at various occupations, the majority of them. 1,474 were engaged in domestic work with only 22 engaged in professional

Mrs. Grant was asked what the
association is doing and planning
to do about this disturbing situa-
tion, In reply she gave out the
following statement:
“Our association is deeply con-
cerned about the unfortunate prob-
Jem of Washington's rising rate of

to be due in Jarge part to the high-
er deth rate among our Negro

unfavorable housing in the. dis-
graceful alleys still prevailing
here pending action by Congress.
We are thjs.year conducting an
aggressive eampaign of health edu-
cation through all the means avail-
able to us, including an. expanded
program of personal instruction
and co-operation by our staff of
health workers in the homes of
tuberculous children wherever they
many. be found,
“From January 1 to June 1,' of
this year, 9,300 such home visits
have been made by our field staff,
