BOARD MEMBER
CAPITAL WEEKLY
Says His Attitude On Matter Effecting Schools Unfits Him
The Bloomingdale Civic Association passed a resolution, Tuesday night, during a meeting at the Tabor Presbyterian Church, opposing the reappointment of Henry F. Gilligan as a member of the Board of Education.
The resolution was ordered sent to the judges of the Supreme Court who make the Board of Education appointments. The resolutions was introduced by George C. Scurlock. It set forth that the attitude of Mr. Gilligan during his term has been such as to unfit him to serve on the board.
Mr. Gilligan's activity in opposing the erection of colored schools in communities where a small number of whites live has been the source of annoyance to many colored organizations. The resolution in full follows:
Saves Gilligan is Unfit
"Whereas, the term of Henry Gilligan, Esquire, member of the Board of Education, is about to expire, it is the sense of the Bloomingdale Civic Association that the re-appointment of the said Henry Gilligan will not serve the best interest of the pupils and the schools generally, this association hereby places itself on record as being opposed to his re-appointment.
"That during the term of said member of the Board, his attitude where the interest of all are concerned has been such as to unfit him to serve in that capacity.
"Therefore be it resolved, That the corresponding secretary be and is hereby instructed to write a letter to the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, setting forth the opposition of this association to the re-appointment of Henry Gilligan, Esquire, as a member of the Board of Education, accompanied by a copy of this resolution."
**Scholarship Fund**
A resolution was introduced by Edward F. Harris to establish a scholarship fund for the graduate of one of the three senior high schools who resides within the territory of the association and who has the highest rating for the entire time he or she has been in school.
The association also directed an inquiry of the commanding officer of the D. C. National Guard, asking why a larger unit among colored soldiers is not evident. It set forth that here-to-fore four companies comprised the First Separate Battalion, now there is only one. Dr. Carter G. Woodson addressed the gathering on the subject, "Business Enterprises," J. C. Olden announced the organization of an interdenominational lobby in promotion of interests of colored citizens before Congress. Following this meeting the association adjourned for the summer.

PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER is shown as he is being escorted by President Mordecal Johnson, of Howard University, to the platform where Hoover delivered the shortest commencement address in history. He consumed exactly three and one-half minutes. This is the first photograph of Hoover and a colored man. He has successfully dodged every colored group, although he has been photographed with nearly every other group. He wasn't "too busy" to see Jim Londs, a professional wrestler, recently, but he was "too busy" to see a delegation of the N.A.A.C.P. and many other colored groups.—Courtesy, Evening Star.
HOOVER BLAMES PRES. JOHNSON BUSINESS FOR DENIES JULIAN INTEREST LACK RESIGNATION
President Apologizes For His Failure To Address Negro Groups Before
In the shortest commencement address in history which consumed exactly three and one-half minutes, President Herbert Hoover took the half-minute to apologize to several thousand listeners at the sixty-third annual commencement at Howard University Friday for his failure to address other groups of colored citizens.
The president blamed press of business affairs of the government and said it was hard to find the opportunity. He expressed himself as "glad of this opportunity" although he said he has sought to gain the opportunity many times.
Mrs. Hoover Seemed Pleased
Mr. Hoover and his party was
or the platform about five minutes
and left right after the speedy
address. The president looked
straight out in front of him during
the time he was sitting and
seemed to be unconscious of his
surroundings. On the other hand
Mrs. Hoover who was on his right,
appeared to enjoy the entire
proceedings and especially took a keen
interest in the singing of a Negro
spiritual by the Musical Arts Society
of the university. She tried
several times to get a full view of
the singers who were over towards
her right. Her smile was a sharpe
contrast to the rather gloom look
of the president.
President Mordecai Johnson was
seated next to Mr. Hoover and
Mrs. Johnson was on Dr. Johnson's
left. Both ladies were dressed
tastfully and many admired their
appear.
The President spoke from a platform erected on the open (Continued on page 10)
Washington Tribune
President Johnson, of Howard University, stated, Thursday afternoon that his office has no knowledge of Dr. Julian's resignation.
A paper distrubuted here Thursday evening stated that "Dr. Julian had been asked to resign."
Dean Davis would have to recommend Dr. Julian's dismissal, and that recommendation would have to be acted upon by the trustees.
No recommendation from Dean Davis has reached President Johnson's office.
70-YEAR PLEDGE
RENEWED BY G.O.P.
CHICAGO.—Vindication of the right of the Negro citizen to enjoy the full benefits of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, was embodied in the Republican platform submitted to the convention here Wednesday night in a majority report. The paragraph referring to the Negro follows.
For 70 years the Republican party has been the friend of the American Negro. Vindication of the right of the Negro citizen to enjoy the full benefits of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is traditional in the Republican party, and our party stands pledged to maintain equal opportunity and rights for our Negro citizens. We do not propose to depart from that tradition nor to alter the spirit or letter of that pledge.
No cheers greeted the reading of this paragraph by James R. Garfield.
Bonus Army Given $200 and 100 Bags Potatoes by Elder Michaux Veterans Continue To Pour In Washington Despite Fact That Bonus Bill Stands Little Chance Of Being Passed This Session
By GARLAND MACKEY
Bonus or no bonus, the Bonus Expeditionary Army out at Camp Bonus, Anacostia, continued to "dig in" this week. Although most of the veterans suffered from the rain, Sunday and Monday, their spirits remained undampened.
They were enriched last week by 100 bags of potatoes and $206,84 from Elder L. Micheaux, of the Church of God, located under a tent in the 2400 block of Sherman avenue, northwest.
The money was donated Sunday at the night services following a special sermon to hundreds of the former service men. The potatoes and money were turned over to Camp Commander Thomas, W. C. Cox, chairman of the legislature committee, and Captain D. C. Carter, of the bonus army forces. Elder Micheaux made the presentation and the supplies and money given chief of Police General Pelham Glassford.
Micheaux Scores Ministers
Elder Micheaux hit Washington ministers and preachers in general in a broadside, Wednesday morning in an interview with a Tribune reporter, when he said, if other churches and ministers would contribute likewise there would be no unemployment in the District.
He said, if half of the churches

Garnet C. Wilkinson Named
As Trustee To Administer
Fund
Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools,
was named trustee of a bequest of
the late Anna L. Costin, a former
teacher in the public schools of
the District.
The fund, whiche amounts to $5,420, has been designated to be used
by the superintendent of colored
schools or his successor to aid any
deserving girl or girls attending
the District schools.
The Board of Education
approved the appointment of Mr.
Wilkinson during its meeting at
the Franklin Administration Buildi
d, Wednesday afternoon.
The offer of a scholarship of $100 by the Columbian Educational Association to a student at Cardozo High School was approved and ordered accepted by the board. M. Grant Lucas is director of the association and made the offer to the board at a previous meeting.
Praternities in College
President Abram Simon, of the Board of Education, questioned the legality of a school officer becoming a trustee of a school fund, but he was told by Superintendent Bailou that a precedent had been set in a number of cases and the bequest was accepted by the board by a unanimous vote.
On the recommendation of Superintendent Ballou, a special meeting of the board will be held on June 27. The board also approved the recommendation, of the superintendent to permit the organization of fraternities and sororities in the two teachers' colleges here. It was pointed out that such organizations are formed in recognized institutions. The resignation of Miss Isadore Williams, who resigned from Armstrong High School on June 7, was accepted by the board. Mrs. D. P. Beckley, teacher at Armstrong High School, was granted a leave of absence as of June 3.
would take an active and concrete part in the present unemployment situation, the present depression would vanish over night. Failure of many of the churches to measure up to the teachings of Christ has caused Him to ignore most of them, said Elder Micheaux.
Some months ago Elder Micheaux wrote Mrs. Herbert Hoover, asking her to join in a nation-wide move and set aside one day each month for fasting and prayer. The elder said Mrs. Hoover replied that as there were so many sick and undernourished people it would not be wise for all to fast, but suggested that inexpensive meals be served on that day.
Elder Micheaux said his congregation started fasting a day each month since last October. As a result of this sacrifice they were able to save the money to buy the potatoes which were given to members of the camp out at Anacostia,
Despite the fact that the bonus bill stands little chance of passing the Senate and will meet with a Presidential veto even if that body passes the bill, veterans continue to pour into Washington. Over 1,000 colored former soldiers have been added to the ranks of the estimated 2,000 that came in within the last few weeks.
Miss Dollie Pratt Tells Policeman Knocked Her Down In Street
Claiming self-defense, Miss Dollie Thresa Pratt, 33, shot and killed Charles Smith, 37, in the yard of her home 440 1 street northwest Monday afternoon, after the man is alleged to have struck her and knocked her down in the street.
Following the shooting Miss Pratt went to the home of Mabel Grayer and called police. Officer John A. Burgess, of No. 1 Precinct, responded and the girl was found sitting in the yard. She admitted the shooting and turned a 38 caliber revolver over to the policeman.
In a statement to Sergeant Harry K. Wilson, of the Homicide Squad, Miss Pratt said she shot Smith when he walked up behind her on the street and knocked her down. She exhibited several bruises about the head and face when she appeared at a coroner's inquest, Wednesday morning, at the District Morgus.
Said Man Threatened Her
The woman said after Smith struck her she went home, where the man followed her. When she reached her house she went into the back yard, where she secured a revolver from an cushion. She told police that on returning to the front of the house Smith was coming towards her. She warned the man to stay away, but he continued to come in her direction. When he had come within eight feet she said, she fired. The first shot failed to stop him and she fired again. The second bullet knocked the man down.
John Lawrence, a laxicab driver, took the wounded man to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by Dr. W. A. Warfield, Jr., soon after his arrival. Witnesses to testify that they saw the man knock Miss Smith down in the street were Walter Hill. 426 I street; Josephine Lyde, 434 I street; Floyd McDermitt, 404 I street; and Frank Pickens, 434 I street.

MAN CAUGHT BY FALLING WALL IS CRUSHED TO DEATH
Jas. Ford Trapped While Working On Building On Pennsylvania Avenue A man who was crushed to death by a falling wall, Saturday, while working with wreckers on a building at 313 Pennsylvania avenue, was identified, Monday, as James Ford, 35, of Durham, N.C. While here Ford roomed at 2225 Eighth street, northwest. He was instantly killed, Saturday morning, about 10:30, when a falling wall crushed him to death.
Ford was working with other men on the building when James M. Stringer, white, foreman is said to have warned the workmen to leave. Witnesses said Ford heard the warning too late to escape. He attempted to run when he saw the wall falling, but was trapped by a number of falling bricks.
The wrecking is being done by Ryan and Company of this city. An officer of that company said Ford was not employed by them, but worked for another man by the name of John Harris. Harris disappeared after the accident. Police are searching for him. The officer of the company pointed out at an inquest at the District Morgue, Monday morning, that brick cleaners are employed by the company and they in turn employ other men to help them. Cleaners are paid $1 per thousand bricks, and frequently hire other men to work with them ad pay less to these men. It was said Harris had only recently hired Ford.
Stringer said he yelled to the men to clear out of the danger zone as two workmen were about to push over a chimney. Charles Lattimore, William Wells, James Smith, and A. L. Smith were working near the wall and left in time to avoid the falling bricks. They said Ford did not leave immediately with the others and failed to hear or heed the warning. Although he attempted to escape as the wall was falling, he failed to clear the danger zone before being caught. A coroner's jury brought in a verdict of accidental death following the hearing. Ford was pronounced dead on the arrival of an ambulance surgeon from Emergency Hospital. He was identified by acquaintances, Monday, a few minutes before the inquest.

SCHOOL TEACHER VANISHES AFTER WRITING FRIENDS
Close Friend of Miss Isadore Williams Says She Is In California
The mystery surrounding the sudden disappearance on June 7 of Miss Isadore Williams, Armstrong High School English teacher, was partially solved Tuesday when the young woman called a close friend up by telephone from a city in California, Tuesday.
This friend of the missing teacher said Miss. Williams was "well and happy." This is the first message to have been received from Miss Williams since her resignation. What gave the whole affair an air of mystery was when she sent ser trunk to Union Station with instruction to attendant not to reveal where it was to go. A little detective work on the part of friends showed that the trunk was checked to a town in the far western state.
Father Wealthy.
Close friends of the teacher said she is living with her father who is said to be very wealthy.
Friends of the teacher were shocked when they learned that she had sent her resignation to Principal G. David Honston to take effect immediately although school would have closed on next Tuesday.
Miss Williams was popular in the younger set and had attended a party in Rock Creek the night before her disappearance. This party was a back-to-nature affair and was attended by many prominent Washingtonians. It is said that pajamas war, the prevailing costumes for the women members.
Left Notes To Friends
Miss Williams left notes to several of her friends and a note to Principal Houston. These messages were in the form of a farewell and one had designated a close friend, another teacher, with the power of attorney to transact her financial and personal affairs.
Miss Williams had some $700 or $800 from a teachers' fund coming to her as well as this month's check.
While here she lived with Mrs. William M. Nash, 1407 W street. (Continued on page 2)
DR. JOHNSON RUNS IN ORDER NOT TO MISS HOOVER
Howard Prexy Sprints Across Campus So As Not To Be Late
Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, had to sprint Friday afternoon across the Howard campus in order to avoid missing President Hoover who delivered the commencement address. The White House limousines came into the campus about 2:20 p.m. The president was preceded by several motorcycle police and secret service cars.
Evidently President Johnson saw the cars coming up the bill from his office in the Library Building. Dr. Johnson came down the steps of the library, taking two at a time. He rushed across the campus where it is roped off to keep trespassers off the grass and as the White House cars drew to a stop Dr. Johnson had to run in order to be in time to be the first to greet the President of the United States. Dr. Johnson seemed none the worse for his lively april and was warmly greeted by Mr. Hoover.

GAME OF LIFE
Declaring that society of the fu.

and age for social relations by
means of carefully and scientifical-
ly outlined games to engage the
whole individual and thus develop
virtues about which we now sim-
ply, talk, Prof. Chas, M. Thomas
paid high tribute to the “Y” for
its offerings in social diversions
which are in reality socialising our
group.
Speaking at the close of the so-
cial session, Thursday evening, the
speaker traced the games oth-
er nations and times, and showed
how: thy were all incomplete, but
all aimed to answer the question,
“How did you play the game?
rather than the usual one, Did You
Win or Lose?”
Emphasis upon the wrong as-
pect of the game, he said, is seen
vhen athletes disipate or cheat,
artists become demoralized, think-

Capital View and DePriest Village homes are truly representative of the charm and high qualities of the community. The proximity of stores, schools and churches and car and bus lines for transportation makes it convenient to live in a quiet community with a truly homelike atmosphere, and yet enjoy all of the modern improvements and conveniences of living in a more thickly settled section.
Owning a home in either Capital View or DePriest Village makes it possible to arrange lawns, plant shrubbery, raise flowers and enjoy a higher degree of satisfactoin in home surroundings.
Many home owners living in this community plant gardens and raise a variety of vegetables that make it possible to serve many tasty and pleasing home-grown dishes. Aside from living where the air is clean and healthful, where quiet cool nghts make for peaceful and undisturbed rest, owners of modern built homes enjoy the advantages of an application of the latest ideas in home building.

HARRY T. SISK, Contractor
Mr. Sisk is the responsible contractor in charge of the erection of homes in Capital View and De-Priest Village.
Having been in this business for eighteen years, his experience in building, remodeling and repairing has enabled him to build and erect homes throughout the District of Columbia for satisfied home owners.
His policy is to render a guaranteed service in all branches of contracting.
MASSAPONAX SAND AND
GRAVEL CORPORATION
Sand and gravel of the best grade mixed into the concrete of these modern homes. Solid from foundation to roof. The Massaponax Sand and Gravel Corporation furnishes both sand and gravel for Capital View and DePriest Village homes.
THE HIGH G. PAINT AND
VARNISH CO.
Many home owners are not acquainted with the fact that paints furnished by the above concern are mixed right in their own factory right here in Washington. Employing the most modern manufacturing machinery and facilities for more than ten years their products are checked and rechecked in the most complete paint laboratory maintained by the industry. The care used in the manufacture of these paints is not exceeded by any other manufacturer, and pigments are ground to ultimate fineness, giving 30 per cent more covering qualities than old processes using white lead. Another guarantee of quality materials for DePriest Village and Capital View homes.
The rapid growth of the High G. Paint Co., has necessitated their removal from 919 New York avenue, northwest, to a larger building at 921-23 New York avenue, N.W. This company is a direct factory representative for Lincoln paints, which, it is claimed, have emancipated the painter from the poisonous effects of white lead while overcoming many of the faults of ordinary paints.
Much poor material is covered by fine coat of varnish.
It takes a lot of ignorance to criticise the other fellow.
DePRIEST VILLAGE CAPITAL VIEW

"CLASH" ROBESON
All games in the Tri-State League were rained out, Sunday. The clubs hated to see the rain because all were primed to try and upset each other. The league leaders were hoping to increase their lead at the expense of the Giants, while the young DePriest club was host to the Huntsville A.C., and the revamped Hillsdales were the guests of the Virginia White Sox.
In a brief review of the different clubs and the men who are the cause of their teams' standing, I must highly praise the masterful twirling of Jodie Wheeler, the 37-year-old spitball artist of the LeDroit Tigers, who aided strongly by the sensual batting of Geo. Ford and "Yellow" Payne and the brilliant fielding of Fauntroy and Burrell Kenner is the prime factor in the LeDroits' leadership. Cleo Smith, captain and third sacker, and Keystone Davis, catcher, are also having a good season.
Carroll Swann, shortstop; N. Barnes, pitcher; Colbert, second base; and "Spike" Blake, first base and pitcher, are the reasons for the DePriests holding second place. Dyson and Woods have also aided greatly in the pennant race.
The twirling of Jefferies and Robinson, aided by brilliant fielding by A. Hamilton and Green, with the batting of Crump and McCraig, the roly poly catcher, are the reasons for the position of the Huntsville club.
Giants Heavy Hitters
The all-around of Jenifer and Savoy, aided by the creditable pitching of Green and Stromer are the best bets of the last place Rajahs, while the only feature of the Washington Giants is the heavy hitting of the club, and if they get some real pitching and good fielding they will be heard from in the league. Manager Jones has signed up Joseph, Caster, a six-foot twirler, and Frank Lee, a good outfielder. The playing of Dixon and Houston and pitching of L. Turner, he the bright lights in the Moawks' plyaing.
The all-around playing of the Moore Brothers, Geo. Bailey andaster Lewis have been bordering in the sensational all season and with the brilliant pitching of E. Lewis and Tom Washington are the main factors of the White Sox success.
The pitching of Bus Frazer, kicking and batting of Joe Walker and Rob Green, sensational catching of Butler and Bush, and brilliant leadership of Reds Haywood are the best bets of the in and out playing of the Hillsdale club.
The clubs are striving hard to improve on the caliber of men on their roster, and as school is closed now a decided improvement is expected in the playing of several clubs.
The league is giving a picnic on the 18th at Buena Vista, Md, where the friends and fans were invited to come and have a good time from 12 noon until 12 midnight. There will be dancing all day and a baseball game and other attractions; plenty of refreshments. Bring the kiddies and have a good time, June 18, 12 to 12.

WALLACE OUT FOR IOWA GRID TEAM
"Windy" Wallace, brilliant football ace of a few years ago with 'Armstrong High School, arrived in the city last week from the University of Iowa, where the local boy entered last year.
WINDY
Wallace sports a sweater with the letters IOWA across the chest. He is four letter man from the local school and is out for the Iowa squad. According to his coach, Wallace stands a good chance of making the team. Iowa has a game scheduled with George Washington in Washington next fall. The Iowa cocah has already committed himself on the color question and recently stated that if Wallace makes the squad he will play against George Washington or the game will be cancelled. Another colored boy from St. Louis will also be a candidate for the team in the fall.
LOCAL STARS TO PLAY WITH POST
Junior Nine Of American Legion To Start This Week
With an aggregation of high school and sandlot stars on their roster, the Walker Post, junior nine, was slated to inaugurate their season this week.
Manager Young, will most likely send Lefty Washington to the hill to serve 'em up in the opener. Mervin Brooks, slugging back-stopper for Dunbar, will in all probability be behind the bat, inasmuch as Mickey Stripling, also a threat with the baton, is unavailable. Webb or Tignor will kick the sack, with the versatile Harold Randolph at the keystone bag. Charlie Stewart, stock Tech gardener, will perform in the short stop position, while Blair, teammate, with his powerful arm and bottle bat or Tignor, all-around performer, will cavort around the hot corner.
Garden choices are doubtful, but with the newly acquired Sonny Randall, in left, Herman Gray, erstwhile Orange and Blue and All-High center fielder for the past three years, behind the second sack, and the ever-awake Clifton "Art Shires" Audrick in right, the Post team should present an outer defense capable of doing things in a big way.
It is likely that Gray will not be available for this contest, in which case, Mentor Young would send Powell also a newcomer but formidable performer to that position, Fearing, Gray and Miller, remaining slabmen will be held in reserve along with Rudy Stripling and Bobby Lancaster.
Crawfords To Trade Players With Other Clubs
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—In line with the policy of both leagues, the Pittsburgh Crawford has consented to trade at least four: players to other clubs.
It has been rumored during the past week that changes would be made, but it was hard to even guess what material the Pittsburghers could afford to give up. The first change came about, however, when Clyde Spearman decided to select his own club.
The names being mentioned now are Chester Williams Roy Williams, W. G. Perkins and Harry Williams. Chester Williams is considered one of the best short-stops in the game and a timely hitter. Perkins is one of the best drawing cards in Negro baseball, because of his hitting, receiving and pep.
Crawfords Expect To Lead Both Leagues
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Wish a percentage of 700 in both the East West and Southern Leagues, it is freely predicted that the Pittsburgh Crawfords will lead both outfits at the first half. This opinion is encouraged by the fact that the Pittsburghers have faced the strongest outfits and most effective pitcheres before any strengthening changes were

SCHOLARS BEAT WESLEY,17-8
Scoring seven runs in the third frame of a sloppet, the Red and Blue Scholasties, soundly trounced the highly touted Union Wesley nine, Saturday, on the Monument lot number six, by the overwhelming 17 to 8 score.
Featuring a lineup of such high and former high school stars as Blair, Medford, the three Tignor Brothers, Maurice, Earl and Ralph, along with Grayson, Lomax and Welb, the Scholasties were distinctly superior to their rivals.
Aided by excellent defensive work, Lomax from the outset, although suffering from a mild attack of wilditis, was never in any great danger and fairly coated in to victory. Two twin-ply killings quelled as many potential enemy uprisings. The large score compiled by the Scholastics was acquired partly from the generosity of the Wesleyite moundsmen, in issuing passes, while the slugging of the Red and Blue warriors, with men on the paths, accounted for no little sum of markers.
Syd Pollock's Cuban Stars, who are setting a fast pace in the East. West League loop right now, have defeated every club in the circuit at least once, despite the handicap of being strictly a road club and having to contend with the many adverse decisions by umpires, who naturally enough generally favor the home club.
Tri-State League Holds Meeting At Whitelaw
The monthly meeting of the Tri-State Baseball Lerge was held last Wednesday at the Whitelaw Hotel. R. C. Archer presided at the meeting. Each member present pledged himself to assist in making the league one of the best organizations possible.

I am giving the column over to Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Newark, N.J., this week. Dr. Alexander is a vice-president of the C.I.A.A., and president of the Lincoln University General Alumni Association. The doctor came to bat recently as prexy of the latter organization in defense of his Alma Mater when that staid old institution of Presbyterians was ousted from the C.I.A.A. for alleged violations of rules. It was asserted by the association that Lincoln played club teams in violation of the rules and broke another breach of conduct when an ineligible player was used in the Howard-Lincoln football game in Philadelphia, last Thanksgiving Day. On the latter score Dr. Alexander fails to present his case. On the former he has much to say, and after wading through a mass of material, by-laws and a constitution I am of the opinion that Lincoln at least deserves a rehearing. It was unfortunate that Lincoln failed to have a representative at the last executive meeting of the C.I.A.A. For this failure I saw nothing for the committee to do, but uphold reinstating Lincoln until the Chester County school sees fit to be present. I think Dr. Alexander as president of the Alumni Association, should be on Lincoln's defense when the case comes up again.

In a letter to me Dr. Alexander takes a crack at yours truly and the sports writing boys in general for their "spirit of antagonism" towards Lincoln. Personally, I have always been rather lenient to the Lions, and at one time I went to a Presbyterian church. In fact my father-in-law is a Presbyterian minister, although I haven't seen him for some time. I have been following the sports of Lincoln for quite a few years, and have always admired their clean plan and conduct on the field, barring a little incident that happened in Baltimore some years ago when a Lincoln man jumped from a players' bench, ran on the field and slugged a Morgan man who was headed for a touchdown. This was due to over anxiousness on the part of the Lincoln man, so I overlooked the little affair.
Dr. Alexander tells me that most white colleges play club teams which isn't much of an argument, as I know several white men who are now in jail, and some colored ones who are out although the latter have committed the same offenses against society. Dr. Alexander also states that Lincoln played West Point Cavalry teams for several years without a protest from the association. This may be true, but the association now says Lincoln must not play club teams. Dr. Alexander says the money Lincoln makes from club teams in basketball helps to stage association games that do not pay. This no doubt is true, and the association should take this vital matter of finances seriously.
CLUB TEAMS SHOULD NOT BE BARRED
A particular article in the revised constitution of the C.I.A.A. states that in connection with other things the association is "to adopt and enforce uniform rules governing all games played and meets held under the auspices of this association in accordance with the principles of amateur sports." Of course, Lincoln's games with club teams were not under the auspices of the association, and I think the association should make some sort of amendment so as to permit members to play clean club contests. I do think this rule has its drawbacks to many schools in this section of the country, especially since the athletic funds of practically all schools are none too large, and also due to the fact that most presidents and faculties are not entirely in sympathy with athletics. They are merely tolerated in some of our leading schools.

The term "amateur sport" has been so perverted by nearly all of our schools that it is hard to really define it. Personally I know of a leading athlete of a few years ago who really made big money on his prowess as an amateur and always demanded "big traveling expenses" before he would compete in a meet. He was always considered an amateur.
Be that as it may, I am of the opinion that a little less legal technicalities and more common sense would easily solve the Lincoln.C.I.A.A. controversy. Both sides have their merits and demerits. I think the playing of an ineligible player is the more serious offense committed by Lincoln, although the arguments have been wound around the club activities of the school.
The trouble with most organizations is the number of laws they have that really stifle the life of the body and prohibit a real constructive program. I hope the C.I.A.A. will not fall into the rut of tieing its hands so tight with rules and regulations that athletics will suffer as a consequence. I know of Dr. Alexander by reputation only, and I am personally acquainted with many of the members of the C.I.A.A.

THE SPIKED SHOE
THE SPIKED SHOE
By THE OBSERVER
The game of baseball, as far as the Negro race is concerned, has produced some great catchers. Among them are such men as Bruce Petway, "Blizy" Mackey, Chappie Johnson, "Spees" Webster, Napoleon Santop, "Doc" Wiley, "Rein Deer" Duncan Max Eggleston Brown, and "Eggie" Clark.
Andy Reese one time a player with the Hildale club, St. Louis Stars, and once a manager of the latter club, was considered one of the smartest ball players of his day.
William Bell, formerly a star pitcher with the Kansas City Monarchs, is now manager of the Newark Browns.
The original Baltimore Black Sox had an infield composed of Greyer, first base; Rideley, second; "Scrapy" Brown, short stop; Harry Williams, third base; Joe Lewis catcher. Pitchers were Nick Logan, "Darknight" Smith, "Doc Skyes, and Hodges. The outfield was as follows: Blaney Hall, "Lefty" Gray and "Duck" Kemp.
Andrew Rube Foster's Leland Giants played through the season of 1909 with only five defeats. During that year, the team won 109 games and tied five.
Wheeler, a local boy who pitches for the LeDroit Tigers, a semi-pro team, has a world of natural ability, but his inability to field buns has always been his handicap.

Eliminate Punt As Kick-off In Football Game
The punt, as an alternative method of putting the ball in play in a football game, has been eliminated by a mail vote of the National Football Rules committee, according to an announcement by E. K. Hall, chairman of the committee.
As amended, the rule will require the regular place kick or a drop kick, with at least five members of the defending team remaining within their 45-yard line until the ball is kicked.
The run on the punt, previously included in an effort to lessen chances of the receiving team forming a flying wedge, was found to be unnecessary when tested in spring practice.

PILOTS DEFEAT BLACK SOX, 5-1
Hampton Clouts Three Hits
In A Trio Of Times
At The Plate
Working behind stellar support,
"Bluebird" McDonald, underhand
finger, for the Pilots, hurled the
Washington entry in the East-
West loop to a 5-1 victory over
the Baltimore Black Sox at Griff-
th Stadium, Wednesday
With a revamped line-up which found only three former Pilot players on the field, the Warfield charges showed rejuvenated spirit in checking the Monumental City aggregation. Evans, new outer gardener, was safe on a fielder's choice after O'Bryant, who singled, was forced at third in the third. He scored when Hampton, who hit the pill for 1,000 clap to maintain his batting laurels at the top of the loop sluggers, hit safely to center.
Singles by Creasy, O'Bryant, a walk to Dunn, and a double steal by Dumn and O'Bryant accounted for two more in the fourth. Two more were tallied in the eighth when "Mule" Suttles sent a long double to the centerfield wall and scored along with Hampton, who walked as Dumn singled to right.
Washington scored the lone Black Sox run in the seventh when he singled, was forced by Jones, and sent across as Burbridge doubled.
A sensational catch was made by Matlock, newly-acquired left-fielder, who raced to his left in the sixth and grabbe Jones' the Black Sox pitcher, long fly, one-handedly.

METCALFE BREAKS 3 WORLD RECORDS
Marquette Sprinter Smash-Three Marks And Ties Another
CHICAGO.-Five world records were eclipsed, one was tied, and three meet records were smashd as Indian., won the National Collegiate track and field championships, last Saturday, with 56 points.
Ralf Metcalfe, sprinter from Marquette University, individually accounted for three world marks and tied another. Metcafl bettered the records for the 220-yard dash, the 100-meters, the 200-meters and equalled the accepted world mark for the 100-yard dash.
Metcalfe, in one of the most sensational performances in track history, served notice that he must be considered as a member of Uncle Sam's team in the Olympics at Los Angeles this summer.
Metcalfe did 100 yards in 9.5, to equal Eddie Tolan's accepted world's record; 100 meters in 10.2, smashing the world record made by Charley Paddock in 1921, and equaled by Tolan in 1929; 200 meters in 20.2, clipping three-tenths of a second from Roland Locke's six-year-old record, and 220 yards in 20.5, breaking Locke's record of 20.6, made in 1926.
RAISE COLOR BAR AGAINST CUBANS
Stars Banned From Tourney Because Of Dark-Skinned Players On Team
TARRYTOWN, N.Y.—The hope of the Cuban Stars, East-West League Club members, to enter the Denver, Colo., Post Tournament between July 15 to 25, for a share of the $13,000 purse to be divided among the winners, has diminished according to word coming from the Syd Pollock offices at North Tarrytown, N.Y., when C. L. Parsons, sports editor of the Post, wired Pollock that the color line has been drawn to his Cubans, because of objection some of the Southern entries might have, who competed in their past tourneys.
The Denver Post originally invited the Cubans to participate claiming their tourney was open to all clubs, but when notified that the Cubans were composed of dark-skinned Islanders, they were barred from taking part in the competition. The tournament being staged in Denver, Colo., considered western territory, it is surprising to see this action taken against the colored race, especially to a club willing to abide by all the rules and regulations of the tournament. This decision will not hamper the appearance of the Cubans in the Southwestern Iowa Tournament, where they captured first prize last season, nor the Arlington, Nebraska, Tournament, where they finished second to the Kansas City Monarchs, after a thrilling play-off.
Syd Pollock's Cuban, Stars are now heading westward, playing in dependent ball before big crowds, to win at Bloomsburg, Pa., 25-2; Barnesboro, Pa., 11-3; and Altoona, Pa., 6-4, this past week, with Dixonez, Galvez and Brownez the winning pitchers in order named.
The Islanders appear in Detroit this Sunday for two games with the Homestead Grays (Detroit Stars on Sundays), which club they beat two out of three games this spring; and scheduled to follow with games at Joliet, Ill.; Galesburg, Ill.; Cresco, Ia.; Fairfield, Ia; on their way to Kansas City, where they are booked for doubleheaders at Muelenbach Field, June 26, July 3 and 4, against leading colored attractions, to be announced by J. L. Wilkinson, owner of the Monarchs, shortly.

PILOTS BOW TO HILLDALE, 7-3
Cliff Carter Too Much For Washington Team In Philly Game
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Cliff Carter had a day on and his fast ball hopped too much for the Washington Pilots and Hilldale downed the visitors at Hildale Park, 7 to 3, Saturday.
Carter limited the Washington crew to five scattered hits, and working behind a comfortable lead the Hilldale hurler was never in danger. The Daisies jumped on Bun Hayes for an early lead and went out in front with Obie Lackey leading the attack.
In the first frame Dallard drew a pass and registered on Lackey's long double to right. In the third frame Lackey hooked one of Hayes' benders and poked it over the centerfield fence for a home run.
Hildale virtually stowed the game away in the fifth inning, Chaney White and Judy Johnson singled, Dallard drew a pass, and Cliff Carter helped his cause by poking a single through second base. Lackey and Jimmy Johnson had a big day around second base and both garnered a pair of hits. Mule Suttles accounted for the last Washington tally with a home run over centerfield fence in the ninth inning.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
25,000,000 PLUS WHITE OWL SALES FIRST YEAR AT 5C
With the record-shattering sales volume—over 425,000,000 White owls sold the first year at 5 cents—as its keynote, a siege gun advertisement blast opens fire to lift White Owl sales above the mark which definitely establishes this trend as the outstanding seller in the industry. Big space advertisements in newspapers of large circulation and great consumer influence carry the news of White owls' landslide sales score to nokers from coast to coast.
Half page in size and attention-creating in execution, the White Owl advertisements are designed to dominate the sporting pages on which they appear just as White Owl itself dominates the 5-cent old. In keeping with the newsement attached to the record-making achievement, they mirror appearance the top front half age of a newspaper—the form June 8, 1931, to announce White Owl's reduction to 5-cents, and used again and again throughout the year during White Owl's gift, record-making sales march. Under the most head "Frontage News," huge headlines flash the White Owl message so briefly, so concisely that even the most usual newspaper glancer cannot but read: "White Owl at 50 first Year's Record Over 425,000; 14 Years 7 Cents and Up; absolutely Same Cigar Sweeps country at Nickel."
No more than that is written, but to the cigar smoker these twenty-two words should pack a health of meaning. Reading between the lines, he will undoubted realize that reduction in price one cannot account for White Owl's great growth in sales. Notes it, as millions who smoke White Owls know. In smoking at the truth for themselves they have discovered in White Owl at

Roving Series Scheduled Between Grays-Crawfords
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—With fans in all sections of the Tri-State district yelling for another series, managers of the Crawfords and Homestead Grays decided that a roving series, would be just the thing.
The argument opens at Greenlee Field on June 24, with a double-header at the same field on June 25.
5-cents the same identical taste, quality and size for which White Owl was famous for fourteen years at 7-cents and up. More than that, they have proved to their satisfaction that White Owl at 5-cents offers the greatest value in its history of great values—a fact still more firmly established by the 425,000,000 votes cast for White Owl at cigar cases during the year.
Display Speeds Dealer Profits
The majority of dealers, noting the rapid rise of White Owl sales at 5-cents, have capitalized the consumer swing to this brand by keeping the White Owl box prominently on top of the cigar case. They report that, with the box on display, White Owl step out to quicker, greater sales for them—with correspondingly greater profits. In this way they profit to the greatest possible extent on White Owl's ever-growing popularity. Dealers who for some reason have not yet displayed the White Owl box need only give the top-of-the-counter position for two weeks, to prove to their own satisfaction that they, too, in this way ring up more money for themselves than with White Owl out of sight.
Despite the fact that, White Owl has just scored a record-breaking sales volume the first year at 6 cents to lead the field, figures reveal that sales are still climbing. And there is every reason to believe that they will continue to climb, since the siege gun summer advertising support—plus the great inherent value of White Owls themselves—is bound to create increased good will for White Owl as well as actual increased demand at the cigar case, with resulting greater profits for all concerned.

N.C. Welterweight Champ Training At Local Y.M.C.A.
Bobby Mosley, welterweight champion of North Carolina, is working out daily in the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. Mosley has appeared in a number of exhibitions at the "Y" and showed well in action.
The North Carolina flash is booked for two fights in Philadelphia in July, and is seeking an opponent in Baltimore or Wilmington before the big fray. In style, Mosley is tricky, his left hook to the body and right uppercut to the head are deceptive at all times. He is a thinker and deserves watching.

BLACKS & WHITES PAL AT B.E.F.
Cigarettes, Clothes, Food, Bedding Needed By Vets
By Ceal Eff
Of all the history making that I have witnessed here in Washington, the most impressive has been the sights I saw at the Bonus Camp in Anacostia, north of Chicago street, where the Bonus Expeditionary Force is encamped.
With what is alleged to be over 18,000, weary ex-World War veterans, shivering in the drizzle of Sunday—many footsore, most of them hungry, was a sight I'll remember as long as I live.
Whites and blacks, laughing, smoking, joking, swearing, sympathizing, eating together, was a sight worth seeing—if it had not been for the bitter feeling that many of these shelterless, bedless men would catch their fatal sickness exposed to such weather as prevailed—there would have been more of a thrill in the sight.
Unhealthy Conditions
There were trenches dug in the ground the length, width and depth of graves which were used as latrines and garbage depositories.
About a foot from one of these cess holes was another hole about the same dimensions in length and width but less than a foot deep, over which iron gratings were placed. Three Negro veterans were using this trench as a stove on which they were cooking some unsavory smelling, fish. After the colored men had taken about three fish each, one invited the crowd of hungry-looking white vets $t_0$ help themselves to the remaining six or seven fish. Such a scramble!
Comrades
In front of an improvised dug-out a delegation from Colorado was heard to shout: "Hi, there; look who's here!"
Turning to look I saw a young colored fellow on crutches, with bandaged foot. His white comrades crowded around him and there was a round of anxious inquiries, and sympathy expressed. I could not see what was pointed to when one of the veterans pointed to something, and said, "See what we fixed for you." Unadulterated comradeship seemed to prevail here.
Smokes
Coming to a group of three men, two colored and one white, we handed one of the colored men three cigarettes, telling him to divide them. I did not see him offer one to the white fellow, so I told him to give the white veteran one. Before any gesture could take place the white fellow smiled and said in foreign accents, "Le him have it; I didnna smoke."
If you want to get a big kick for a small favor, get a pack two of fags and take them to Camp Bonus and offer a fellow a smoke. Gratitude? Huh! Just try it, and come away feeling like a good Samaritan.
Activities
The camp is laid out in "streets," the conduct is orderly; women are respected; no booging is seen; the inscriptions written in chalk and crudely painted on automobiles and planks are classics of wit and humor.
Here with a handful of men as an audience an old gray-haired man is preaching. In this tent a guitar is being trumped. Here a dice game is in session; a big crowd is attentive to an improptu program of singing, dancing, reciting. Over there a young fellow is writing back home; there a vet seems to be administering to a sick comrade; a group is devising means of
is finding a place to camp. You can hardly believe that 18,000 unorganized men could be so orderly securing food on tomorrow. This group is appointing the kitchen police for tomorrow. A new gang—but there it is. And with it all there is a feeling that these men are jobless—almost hopeless, calling on a country to help them in their moment of distress, even as that same country called on them in its hour of distress. If we as Americans do not give these men what they demand—what they are due—then God have mercy on the sham we perpetrate every time that we lay wreaths on the grave of the unknown soldier.
Children Of James Monroe School Present A Pageant, "Washington Returns"
The auditorium of the Miner Teachers College was crowded to capacity last Friday night when the pupils of the James Monroe Public School presented a pageant, "Washington Returns," in commemoration of the Bicentennial celebration.
Appropriately costumed the children portrayed the different characters represented in the four episodes: "The Youth and Adventure;" "The Man and Home;" "The General and Fame;" and "The Statesman and Immortality." In the games and dances in the prologue of the second episode, "The Man and Home," the children of the different grades of the school very creditably danced the staid but graceful minuet as well as the more boisterous Virginia Reel.

As a part of commencement week festivities of Howard University, the members of the Senior Home Management Class of the Home Economics Department, of which Mrs. Madeline Kirkland is head, held open house for the faculty and friends of the department in their newly re-decorated practice apartment, located on the fourth floor of the Home Economics Building, Monday.
It was the problem of this class, under the supervision of Miss Louise Simpson, a member of the Home Economics staff, to re-decorate the apartment, thereby putting into actual practice the theoretical principles learned in the previous courses. A new precedent was set when a pair of sterling silver candle holders, which are to be used in the apartment, were presented to the Home Economics Department by a representative of the class.
The guests were first taken on an inspection tour of the apartment and afterwards served a luncheon by the students of the department.

The new Shooting Gallery, one of the largest of its kind throughout the South, using perfect equipment, has many stationery and moving targets—everything to aid the pleasure seeker in his desire for a good time. The best of the many outstanding rides is the new Tilt-A-Whirl, a ride that combines thrills and fun equally and is so good that one ride is not sufficient. The latest attraction is the Minature Railway, a long ride through the Park on a small locomotive, the actual reproduction of a large modern engine. This is a thrill for the kids?
We then go further, into the Park to the new Skee Ball Alleys. Here is diversified entertainment, combining skill, exercise and fun for the unusual low price, of 5 cents. The Merry-Go-Round is one of the finest and largest in this section of the country, more than a hundred people riding at one time, on moving horses, and other animals of various descriptions. The pride of the park is its mammouth swimming pool, sitting amidst the cooling breeze. Here one can swim in perfect safety, guards constantly alert to aid the non-swimmer, helpful and courteous at all times. Imagine the admission price including lockers for children at only 10 cents. Here is the place to send your child to have a good time, and you need have no fear a, to its safety.
Next to the swimming pool stands the crystal ballroom, taking full advantage of its coolness and furnishing the non-dancers something not ordinarily derived from their inactivity.

Now that Miss Lillian Green is going to spend the summer in old Asbury Park, we wonder who will blow the cornet in the Bluebird Orchestra. My! my* Nuf sed.
Also we guess that Mr. Robert Barnes will have to return the old key to the old U street castle, because the sweet Marie Barber is going also. 'Stew bad, son.
Do you visit the Wednesday midnight frolic? Do you attend the Sunday dawn dance? What? You have not? Then you are way behind. Well, I'll be seeing you at the old punch bowl.
Dear Mr. Chols: Please tell me what is wrong with Ed Leake's feet?
There ain't nothing the matter; son; the dear boy just was blessed with two left ones.
Dear Mr. Chols: May I get personal and ask you just what is your daily income?
That is perfectly all right, dear boy. Storm and Strife says it's about three a.m.
You are wrong. Woman ain't no part of speech—she is all of it.
They say that Cupid strikes the match.
That sets the world aglow.
But where does Cupid strike the match?
That's what I'd like to know.
Maybe you are right, Ambitious, Pluck is the secret of success—but please tell us what method of plucking you use.
Mr. Chols has been informed that the owners of the Pilots have purchased seven new players. Now watch their dust. Be seeing you at Griffith Stadium, Sunday.
Dear Mr. Chols: Please help me. I love my girl very much and want to marry her. How can I find out how much she thinks of me?
That's easy, Bonehead; just go ahead and marry her.
Dear Mr. Chols: Just why does a woman take a man's name when she marries him?
Dear boy: She takes everything else—so why not take that, too.
The truth is, fellow, the privates eat more than the officers, because there are more privates than there are officers.

THE REAL THING "RADIO PATROL AT THE LINCOLN
Radio listeners who are in the habit of switching back the dial to tune in on the thrilling real life drama of police radio car signals, will find for the first time the authentic picturization of what those night crime hunters encounter as they roam about the streets of a large city if they step inside the doors of the Lincoln Theatre, where Universal's thrill-vending police picture, "Radio Patrol" opens an engagement Friday. It's the real thing.
This swift moving story is one of tense suspense and rapid action, although the love element is strong throughout its colorful sequences. It deals with two radio patrol officers who love the same girl. The one who wins her is the weakling whose entanglements with the underworld result in a series of dangerous crises which leads up to the gripping climax of the story, providing "Radio Patrol" with last minute thrills which give this picture a unique place on the screen. Robert Armstrong, popular actor of unusual talent, is welcome back to the local screen in one of the featured masculine roles of the picture, with the sensational Russell Hopter seen in the other. Lila Lee, whose reputation as a dramatic actress grows with each of her successful screen portrayals, is seen in the featured feminine lead, providing the love interest in a very satisfactory manner.
"Radio Patrol" includes in its supporting cast June Clyde, Andy Devine, Onslow Stevens, Harry Woods, Sidney Toler and John Lester Johnson, who give real-life performances which enhance the realistic effect of this exciting screen story. Edward Cahn takes a bow for its superb direction and Tom Reed for the authorship of the story. The cars an many of the properties used are authentic. "Young America" 'They called him "the worst boy in town"—but he on' loved adventure and wanted fun.
Vivid with the sympathetic realism that marks all of Frank Borzage's pictures, here is a notable drama of youth at the crossroads. It comes to this theatre next Wednesday Thursday in "Young America," with such screen favorites as Spencer Tracy, Doris Kenyon, Beryl Mercer, Talph Bellamy and the new juvenile sensation, Tommy Corlon, in feature roles, "Young America" will prove well worth your while.

An election was held, Tuesday, for the purpose of naming six members of the six council, one from each of the six wards.
The city playgrounds opened Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. There are five white grounds and one for the colored children located at the Parker-Gray School. The Director of the Parker-Gray playgrounds is Mrs. Diana Brooks, with Mrs. R. C. Archer assisting. The playgrounds are open to all ages of boys and girls every day except Sunday, from 9 a.m., to 12 noon, and 2 p.m., to 6 p.m. There is something to interest each child. Daily classes are held in sewing, raffa reed basketry, kindergarten, woodcraft and handwork. Children desiring to learn tennis will be taught. The supervisor and directors urge parents to send their children to the playgrounds, where a director is placed to help the children pass the hot days usefully. Here they are trained physically, mentally and morally. Mrs. Virginia W. Ryder is supervisor.
An appeal is being made by B. Abramson, 532. King street, for clothes and bedding for the bonus marchers now camped in Washington. He urges that persons having discarded clothing send same to his address and he will deliver it to the bonus marchers.
Summer school has opened for white pupils, with an enrollment of 140, and more are expected. Not any provision has been made for the colored pupils who also need the chance to make up failures, some caused by illness and crowded conditions in the classrooms.
The Tuberculin and X-ray Clinic held here during the past week by Dr. William M. Randolph, of the State health department, was attended by 49 children and thirty adults, including those who came for consultation. The clinic was reported as highly successful, and Dr. Randolph praised the splendid co-operation given by the local physicians. The regular monthly chest clinic will be held Thursday, June 24, from 3 to 5 p.m., at the health office.
Parker-Gray School
The Parker-Gray closing exercises began Thursday evening, June 9, with the presentation of "The Man Higher Up." A delightful three-act comedy by the graduating class and ended with a party given to the graduating class by the first year class and the parent-teacher association.
"The Man Higher Up" was a very suitable play for a graduating class and the cast selected certainly did credit to itself and to Miss Brooks, who trained them. It pictured both the ideal and practical side of life, with the constant struggle between the parents and the child as to who should determine the future occupation of the child. Cecil, the "queer" misunderstood and laughed at child, with his mind always on the man higher up, and who rose above those who joked him, brought fame to his family and city, was very effectively played by Clinton Wair. The subtle humor in the play was produced by Blossom, Lola Gray, who attended to the housework and all of the acts of Cecil. Marion Carter made "D grandma" a real live character. Cecil's mother was played excellently by Marion Smith. Margaret, the daughter; Andrew Jackson as Mr. Lewis Thurbo Jackson as Cecil's best friend; Mr. Allen and Col. Honlen by Carroll Johnson, and Nathaniel Braxton all gave a very fine interpretation of their parts. Others in

MABEL JONES' DANCERS SCORE IN ARTISTIC RECITAL
The Mabel Jones dancers were in their sixth classic dance recital presented by the Community Center in the Armstrong auditorium, Friday evening. Although Miss Jones' recitals are always charming and artistic, the affair this year was an especially gorgeous spectacle with its elaborate and beautiful costumes, exotic scenery, and charming and finished dancing. The openning number, a Chinese phantasy, comprised a group of Chinese dances by the younger members of the group including Constance Arnold, Princess; Constance Lewis, light carrier; Christine Mangruin and Rachel Norton, China boy and girl; assisted by Jean Cooper, Ester Knight, Dolores Dabney, Evelyn Barnacle, Gwendolyn Harris, Jean Cupid and Joan Beldon.
This was followed by a toe dance by two tiny tots, Gloria Edmonds, age 5, and Juanita Welch, age 6, who represented stiff little "French Dolls" who arose from their bourd oil pillows to charm with their dainty dancing. These little misses appeared later on the program in a more difficult Russian character number "Two Little Gossips." A stained glass window was the setting for the beautiful and somber interpretive number, "A Music Visualization of Chopin's Funeral March," in which very difficult solo work was done by Violet Warfield, in an elaborate costume of white velvet with touches of red satin and gold braid. She was assisted by Lucy Jackson and Jennie Saunders in blue and white satin.
Advanced Classes
The more advanced members of the class appeared in a toe suite, "The Silver Fan." The setting for this number included a black velvet curtain with a huge silver fap, and two large white alabaster bases. The dancers were all dressed in silver and white, with white wigs. The oily color to the scene was furnished by three garlands of blue and pink flowers. Solo in this group was done by Comora Thomas, Gwendolyn Balasco, Loretta Freeman, and Rosannie West. The other dancers were Evelyn Arnold, Marjorie Webb, Marie Dickson, Madeline Outlaw, and Eleanor Barnes.
Doris Carter, in gold cloth, graced a jade throne in the number "The Javanese Goddess," a group of Javanese numbers danced by Frances Dunham, Eleanor Dixon and Beatrice Martin, and Doris Carter, the goddess. Although this is the first time Miss Jones has included Javanese dancers on her programs, it was one of the favorite numbers.
Other Dances
The lighting effects in the final group, "The Enchanted Forest," a toe and ballet, were particularly lovely. Throughout the number red breasted blue birds winged their way across the setting. Following a pantomime by the entire group, there were solos by Violet Warfield, Doris Carter, Francis Dunham, Beatrice Martin, and Eleanor Dixon.
Other numbers on the program included "There's Work to be Done," a toe character dance by Marie Dickson; "The Flirtatious Coquette," character dance by Doris Goldby and Dorothy Thrasher; "Golden Butterflies," an interpretive number by Gwendolyn Balasco, Evelyn Arnold, Elaine Arnold, Loretta Freeman and Doris Jones; "Africana," by Beatrice Martin; and "Music Visualization of Blue Danube by Strauss—Interpretive," by Rosanne West, Marjorie Webb, Marie Dickson, Eleanor Barnes, Madeline Outlaw and Comora Thomas.
All of the dances were conceived and arranged by Mabel Jones, who also designed the costumes for her pupils. The scenery and lighting effects were created by Fred Pelham, whose double shadow effect featured in the "L'Africana" number has already been copied by a Broadway production.

"I suffered so much with severe pains and a weakness in my back. At times, it seemed I could not stand it. When I would have to stand on my feet the pain was very bad. I would get so weak I knew I must take some medicine so much of the carduil. I decided to try it. After taking two bottles, I felt all right.

New Tire Tax Heaviest of All Auto Accessory Levies, Says Firestone
Announcement was made today by Mr. Pettie, manager of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, that tire prices, now the lowest in history, will remain unchanged until midnight, June 20, when the new excise tax of from 10 to 15 per cent on tires and tubes becomes effective - the highest tax on any automobile accessory.
"A few days remain in which it is possible to save from 10 to 15 per cent by buying Firestone tires now." Mr. Pettie said.
"The new billion dollar revenue bill signed by the President will have the inevitable effect of increasing many retail prices," continued Mr. Pettie. "The thrifty will see the wisdom of taking advantage of the prevailing low prices.
"The prices on all grades of Firestone tires will remain at the lowest prices ever known until the date the tax becomes effective as long as our stock lasts, and the car and truck owners who act promptly will have the benefit of the saving."
Miss Fannie E. Dean, of Highland Park, Md., returned home, Sunday after spending a week with Misses Florence and Margaret Shelton of High Bridge, Md.

FINELESS WEEK AT LIBRARY
The Washington Public Library is observing a "fineless week" beginning Monday of this week. According to Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian, the changed policy is two-fold. It will release cards to hundreds of readers who have special need of books at this time but are unable to pay fines. It will also help to restore to circulation many volumes which are being kept overtime. Requesting readers to search their bookcases, cupboards and bureau drawers, Dr. Bowerman said that readers may be restored to good standing by simply returning books. A "conscience box" has been installed at the front door of the central library. Books may be placed in this receptacle by persons who do not care to take them to the desks.
Name Was Omitted
The name of Roger R Smith, a member of Company A, the winning Dunbar company, in the annual competitive drill was omitted from the company roster last week. The Tribune adds it to the other names this week.

BISHOP WALL RAPS POLITICAL PARTY LEADERS
Says Hoover Is Apathetic On Racial Justice; Has Not Kept His Promise
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The New England A.M. Zion Conference closed here today its 88th session which was declared to be the conference that starts a new day in Zion. It was the first conference after the General Conference held in Pittsburgh, in May, and began the operation of the New Laws of the denomination. Seven Bishops attended, coming from as wide ranges as Alabama and California. Addresses were made by Yale professors; leading Protestant ministers; and Jewish Rabbi.
Bishop W. J. Walls opened the conference with an address that scored those political leaders who betray the Negro, and called for a reckoning in both parties upon their attitude to the race as we

face the polls. He urged the ministers to encourage the people to vote and take an active part in promoting good government.
President Hoover; Candidate Roosevelt and others, were criticized for their official apathy upon racial justice. President Hoover, he said, has not kept his promises to abolish segregation in the government and by his soft pedaling methods on Negro causes has encouraged the enemies who would oppress and tyrannize our people and deny them their constitutional and economic rights.
He declared on Prohibition that the repeal of the 18th Amendment would mean the return of the saloon and moral chaos that the country has not hitherto witnessed. The temperance people throughout the world are praying to America to hold on to Prohibition.
"The C.H.I.A. Stores movement of the Negro Business League has found the only way to save Negro merchants from being closed out by the rising tide of the chain store movement. Albion Holsey, backed by R. R. Moten and the officers of the league, has paved the way for this great race service. The church cannot go into business, but we can preach and encourage faith in our own business man and if the church fails to, our race business for this generation is doomed indefinitely," he asserted.
Attacks Crime Wave
Bishop Walls stressed the necessity of a return to simple living and the practice of Christian virtues as a means of correcting the wide-spread crime wave. No permanent civilization, he said, can be built in America other than on a Christian foundation.
He instructed his ministers to cultivate better race relations.
"We can have peace if we want it, and we can have racial injustice if we will it, but we cannot have peace and injustice between the races at the same time."
He called upon the Protestant Church to restore its lost art of liturgical form of service. He stated that the dwindling membership in the church is due to the lack of better attention to individual worship. He asserted that the preachers and the church will best improve themselves by taxing themselves with the problem of giving something back to the people in constructive causes, securing institutions of relief and education; inspiring the social status and giving direction and hope to the industrial life and economic stability of the people.
Dr. Thomas W. Wallace, of Washington, D.C., spoke Saturday at noon on the subject, "How Can We Help Our People Through The Depression." He stressed the practical work of the church in relieving the needy, and declared that the church must adopt a lar-

155TH BIRTHDAY OF HOWARD JEF'ERSON FLAG CELEBRATED FLORIST HERE FOR BY BOWEN SCHOOL 25 YEARS, EXPIRES
Auspicious Ceremony Held On School Grounds Tuesday Afternoon
With prominent school officials, parents and pupils in attendance, Flag raising exercises, commemorating the 155th anniversary of the birth of "Old Glory," in conjunction with the bicentennial celebration, was held on the west grounds of the Anthony Bowen School Tuesday afternoon. Members of the Board of Education, school officials, High School cadets, Boy Scouts, War Veterans and pupils took part in the appropriate and fitting rogram.
"Throughout the history of the country, the colored man has been a staunch defender of the flag" declared Rev. E. A. Christian, Rector of the St. Mary's Church, in the principal address. Rev. Christian further outlined the flag as a "message of character" representing valor, purity, hope, truth, loyalty, sincerity and justice. Rev. Christian also traced the history of "Old Glory" from its earliest day to the present time.
Following the pastor's stirring message, Col. C. E. N. Howard, Military Instructor of Howard University, raised the flag to the top of its pole as Company A, the winning Company of High School Cadets, under command of Captain Roscoe Cooper, saluted the flag and the company bugler blew the "Tatoo" song. Brief speeches were given by Mrs. Mary A. McNeil, Mr. Henry Gilligan, members of the Board of Education, Mr. A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. H. H. Long, former school examiner, Mr. John T. Rhines, president of the Parent-Teachers Association of Bowen, and Mr. John C. Prue, presiding officer, and supervising principal of the 13th Division. Rev. J. H. Marshall, pastor of the First Baptist Church, said the invocation and benediction.
A recitation "What Shall We Say," was rendered by three pupils of the school, Lillie Mae Croomer, Doris Booth and Anna Burdette. Three songs, "Our Flag," "The National Negro Anthem" and the "Star Spangled Banner" were sung by the school. Members of the first grade class presented a flag drill. Representatives of Boy Scout Troops, 502 and 514, a Civil War Veteran and a group of Spanish War Veterans and World War Veterans also participated in the program. Mrs. Mary T. Latimore is principal of the Bowen School.
SCHOOL TEACHER VANISHES
(Continued from Page One)
Father In California
Last April the teacher approached a school officer and told him that she might leave school and to to live with her father who was said to be at that time in New York. Recently it was learned that her father was in California where he is said to be well established financially.
Mr. Williams is said to be white and is living among, white people, and many think that his daughter has decided to give up her people and cast her lot with the other group. Her mother was a brown skinned woman. Some time ago Miss Williams said her father wanted her to live with him, but it would have necessated her leaving the Negro group. She is an only child, her mother is dead.
Father In California
Friends of Miss Williams traced her trunk to Union Station where officials said it would be sent to California. She was born in Washington, is a graduate of Armstrong, Howard University and received her master's degree at Clark University, Worcester, Mass.
Whips Bear And Skins Him
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (ANP)—When Frank Williams observed a 500-pound bear disputing the path with him in a corn field about seven miles from here, he decided that he would not let a bear take the road from him. He raised his shotgun and let go a volley of bird shot at Bruno. Bruno treated birdshot just like a bear should and rushed toward Williams, growling savagely. The farmer pulled the trigger of his gun again, but it would not work. He seized his axe from the ground and greeted Bruno with a slap, flush in the face. He kept on swinging until he won the right to the path. Then he took Bruno home and skinned him.
Thieves Enter School
According to a report to Second Precinct police by Creed P. Tucker, 947 Florida avenue, northwest, innitor of the Slater-Langton School, P street between North Capital and First streets, northwest, intruders entered the school building late Sunday night but failed to take anything. The thieves forced open a rear window and entered the store room by breaking the glass in the door. A check-up showed nothing had been taken.
Flower Dealer Famed For Charitable Acts To Be Buried Tonight
Funeral services for Howard Jefferson, 52, for over 25 years a florist in the city, were held today from the Metropolitan Baptist Church with Rev. F. Dickinson conducting. The well known flower dealer died at late residence and business establishment, 1933 Eighth street, northwest, Monday after a lingering illness which had kept him in bad health for over a year.
Following funeral rites the body was removed to the Morning Star Elks' Home, Fifteenth and Q streets, where it lay in state until the time of burial tonight (Friday) at 8 o'clock. At that time the body will be taken to Port-Royal, Va., the birth place of the deceased for burial.
Coming to Washington at an early age, Mr. Jefferson established a florist shop in the 700 block of Florida avenue, northwest. Several years later he moved across the street to the present location at Eighth street and Florida avenue, where he had been for over 20 years. He was a prominent member of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks and the local chapter of Odd Fellows.
He was noted for his charitable gifts of flowers to hospitals and the Old Folks' Home.
Surviving Mr. Jefferson are a brother, Coyal Jefferson; and three sisters, Georgianna, Minnie and Matilda Jefferson.

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

FINLEY WILSON WILL NOT CALL OFF CONVENTION
Raps Bishop Heard As Meddler; Little Opposition Expected From Marquis
Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson of the I.B.P.O. Elks of the World stated on Wednesday that he would not postpone the scheduled Elks Grand Lodge session to be held in Los Angeles, Calif., in August, since it had been decided by law to hold it there, and because the California Elks wanted the convention there this yar, in spite of sundry agitation against holding the convention for economic reasons.
The grand exalted ruler declared that he would not act to postpone the confab unless so directed by the various lodges, in his own words: "Unless there is a general desire for postponement, or calling it off until 1933." The statement was made after the local correspondent had questioned Mr. Wilson about the convention, as a result of considerable criticism of the Order, by outsiders, and people in other organizations.
Mr. Wilson's statement follows: "We are facing the worst panic the country has ever known, and we are trying to avoid the trouble which we are encountering. In 1906 when the scheduled convention of the Order was booked and advertised for Brooklyn, New York, the grand exalted ruler, and the majority of his officers decided to call off the convention from Brooklyn, the place of meeting which had been selected at the convention in Washington, in 1905. The minority group led by George E. Bates, who afterwards became grand secretary, journeyed to Brooklyn, in keeping with the law and constitution, and minutes of the Washington session. They convened, held their convention, and elected Dr Wm. E. Atkins, grand exalted ruler, and a full corps of officers, and then for five long years our Order was split in twain, and two factions battled for supremacy, and thousands of dollars were spent.
California Wants Convention "California wants the convention. They have battled for many years and this is their dream which they have longed for, and unless by some act of Providence, or a general demand intervenes, we have no other alternative other than to keep faith and obey the law. People from all parts of the country are flooding my office with letters, and more than 75 per cent are clamoring for the convention, while nearly 25 per cent are suggesting postponement, or calling off the convention until 1933. The people in California, and the Southwest, have gone to great expense, and have made extensive preparations, and without the consent of, and agreement, with a legal compromise, from the leaders in California, I have no alternative."
Undoubtedly r.ferring to Bishop William H. Heard, who spoke condemnatory about the coming convention in a sermon in Philadelphia, and others who were complaining at the idea of the Elks convention this year so far from the eastern coast, the grand exalted ruler declared: "Men who are not members of our Order, and who have no interest, other than a meddlesome disposition, are having more to say than the head of the Order, or members of his Cabinet. And on the other hand we have enemies of the Order who are, members, and are seeking some opportunity to find fault, whereby they may 'calamity howl', spread propaganda that we've called off the convention fearing defeat at the hands of the brethren."
"The organization is in splendid shape, and while the returns from the several lodges are smaller, we are receiving a greater number of financial reports, and with an increase in revenue,"
**Lodges To Govern**
Expressing a desire to co-operate with his men, Mr. Wilson further stated: "We shall be governed by the action of the lodges and the state convertors, in the next fif-

teen days, as all semi-annual elections will be held during that period, and an expression will be given by the lodges and the state conventions. We are happy to note that every state convention from New York to Louisiana has enjoyed a bigger and better convention than in 1331. So we have no fault to find, our slogan is: "On to California," with full scream ahead, regardless of the little pack of calamity howlers, whose sole stock in trade is meddling and trying to conduct other people's affairs, and especially that of I. B. P. Order of Elks of the World, which is the most progressive Order America has ever seen."
Beaches Opposition.
Mr. Wilson expressed little or no concern about the opposition purportedly to come from John R. Marquess, exalted ruler of the Quaker City lodge of Philadelphia, who was supposedly endorsed by the Monarch Lodge of New York City, as a candidate for grand exalted ruler against Mr. Wilson.
"In fact," said Mr. Wilson, "the very lodge which was supposed to be supporting Marquess, endorsed me at the New York State convention, at New Roseholle, before I even arrived there."
The men who agitated the candidacy of Mr. Maroness, were conspicuous by their absence at this convention. According to Mr. Wilson, it was this same group which began the agitation some years ago, which resulted in the suspension of the Monarch Lodre from the Grand lodge for over two years, and caused over $100,000 to be spent.
LUCAS HAS NO TIME FOR YOUNG NEGRO CLUB
LUCAS HAS NO TIME FOR YOUNG NEGRO CLUB
Robert H. Lucas, chairman of the National Republican Committee has no time to give information or furnish a speaker for ambitious young Negroes seeking political enlightenment as the following letters will show.
The letter to Mr. Lucas by Miss Beatrice M. Murphy, president of Young People's Political Study Club as a second letter written for her club follows:
"When our president wrote to you in the beginning she stated quite plainly that the reason she wanted to connect with the Republican National Committee was because she wanted to tell her group that the National Committees of both major political parties were co-operating with her—that they were officially interested in the young Negro.
"So far, in spite of your letter of assurance to the contrary, we have not been able to obtain the co-operation of the $ _{th} $ Republican National Committee in the way we would like to. Our personal contacts with your office have only made us feel that there is something not quite on the level; that you are not saying what you really mean.
"The Negro race is very much interested at the present time in just how the Democrats and Republicans really feel about it. We think that the time for hedging has past. Will you kindly state quite frankly just how the Republican National Committee does feel toward the Negro, and whether you really mean to help us in our endeavor or are just being polite, and not willing to live up to your promises?"
Answer from Mr. Lucas:
"Dear Miss Murphy:
"I have received your letter of May 16, and can only suggest that you discuss your problems with Mr. Perry W. Howard or Dr. John R. Hawkins.
"I am sure you are acquainted with both of these Republican leaders and I can assure you they are willing and ready to co-operate with you in every proper way.
"With best wishes, I am

DUNBAR, FAMED POET, EULOGIZED BY MUSOLIT CLUB
Edward F. Arnold Gives Personal Reminiscenes Of Poet's Life
Paul Lawrence Dunbar famous poet, was colorized, Friday night, at the Mu-So-Lit Club by Edward F. Arnold, investigator for the Association for the Study of the Negro Life and History. The Mu-So-Lit Club is an organization which grew out of the old Pen and Pencil Club with which Dunbar was affiliated. M. Grant Lucas president of the club, presided during the meeting.
Mr. Arnold, who was a personal friend of Dunbar, presented an intimate portrait of the noted poet in his social and literary life showing in what high esteem Dunbar was held by his close friends and contemporary writers. He traced the life of the poet as he knew him.
"He said of Dunbar, "He was the only man of pure African blood and of American civilization to fill the Negro life aesthetically and to express it lyrically.
He said he knew Dunbar for his bigness of heart, his gentleness of soul, and his everlasting gratitude to those who helped him in any way as he struggled onward and upward. "Poems While You Wait" was Dunbar's motto, said Mr. Arnold.
Dunbar was born in Dayton, O. in 1872, and died at the age of 33 in 1906. He was employed for a number of years in the Library of Congress here.
In concluding Mr. Arnold indicated with what high esteem Dunbar was held by Dr. A. H. Tobey, superintendent of State Hospital, Toledo. Miss Ella Wheeler Wilcox and other contemporary writers.
Let every man attend to his own business.

With the closing of the public schools next week, society will be widley scattered. Summer schools and treks of different kinds will take a large proportion to far distant climes.

Anderson-Fletcher Church Wedding Beautiful Affair
One of the most beautiful weddings of the June season was that of Miss Janet Novell Anderson, of Arlington, Va., daughter of Mrs. Robert Lee Anderson, of the same city, to Mr. Sumner Grimshaw Fletcher son of Mrs. Evelyn B. Fletcher local school teacher of 924 S street northwest on Friday night. The marriage took place at the Calvary Episcopal Church with Rev. F. I. A Bennett pastor, officiating.
The church was decorated with pink and white peonies ferns and palms. The bride, who was escorted to the altar by her brother-in-law, Mr. Conway Gaskins, was gorgeously gowned in a beautiful white satin gown trimmed with white fox. She carried a bouquet of bridal lilies.
The matrons of honor, Mrs. May Gaskins sister of the bride, and Mrs. Una Fletcher, wore pink netted gowns with large picturesque hats and carried large pink peonies. Miss Marlene Fletcher was flower girl. Mr. Gorham C. Fletcher, brother of the groom, served as best man.

Employment
"The Race must work if it would eat." Graduates of 1932 must face the serious problems of unemployment. These problems should awaken these graduates, their families and well-wishers to the realization that the business firms who employ Negroes "must be supported by Race patronage. Such support will keep open the present avenues of employment, will insure the opening of new avenues of employment, and will build substantial "Middle Class" for the Race, upon which the professions can rely for substantial support. Go out of your way—Spend few pennies more—To support any business that employs Negroes. Such will be a contribution to the Economic Freedom of your Children . . . and your Children's Children.

Contributed by Firms Who Furnish Employment To Negroes
North 8118
The Red Cab Company, Washington's oldest taxi cab concern operated by Negroes, announces an excursion by bus to Atlantic City over the 4th. Buses will leave at 2 p.m., Saturday, July 2, from the company's garage at 7th and R streets, N.W.
The Red Cab Company has made great strides in the field of transportation during the past 17 years. The company controls the operation of 105 cabs, has 5 funeral limousines and 2 busses. They have their own garage and employ over 100 people.
The bus service rendered by this company has been noteworthy. Their busses have covered hundreds of thousands of miles without accident. In one day they safely handled 750 pupils of both races — delivering them to their proper places on the Mall during the Festival of Youth, and returning them to their destinations.
The Red Cab has a contract for all transportation by bus for the various departments of Howard University. The company takes school children to and from the dental clinics. Among many excursions by Red Cab Bus are: Miner Teaches' College group on educational trip to New York City, Howard group to Colton and Shaw Junior High graduates to the Naval Academy.
Dollar Cleaners
Employ Fifty
Leon Williams, founder of the Dollar Dry Cleaners, located at 1731 7th St., N.W., in speaking of the graduates of 1932 says: "I realize that employment must be found for these boys and girls. For some time I have tried to work out a plan by which I might give work to a few more. I think I have solved the problem. I am planning to add about four more to the fifty that I now employ." Mr. Williams' business has made rapid strides in the passed few years.
Reid's Corner Business Pioneer
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Reid, in their sustained effort to establish a Race Department Store on U Street, have created an enviable business, which is a training ground for young people who intend to enter the business world. As Mr. Reid says himself: "The school boys and girls we employ 'learn by doing.' We feel that we are giving them a practical training that they cannot get from books, and they are working with the same public that they must face in any business venture." Reid's Corner carries a wide variety of stock—competing with many downtown establishments as to price and quality of merchandise. The Reids have been in business for 12 years; and employ five regular salespeople.
John T. Rhines & Co.
An Institution
Few men are better known to Washington than John T. Rhines, successful funeral director, who has been active in the business and fraternal circles of this city. In his part of town the firm of John T. Rhines & Co. is an institution—a vital part of the community. His business has been built on friendship and charity—his neighbors, however poor, receive a Christian burial.
Such is the man who operates a business that serves many of Washington's finest families in their time of sorrow. He employs nine regular employees and has trained scores of others. He operates his business in an efficient manner—buying by carload lots, and maintaining excellent equipment. Mr. Rhines is the Exalted Ruler of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks.
Thurston's Has Sixteen Employees
Few people realize when enjoying delicios' meals at Thurston's that they are helping to employ sixteen members of our race. Thurston's Cafe is an upstanding example of progressive Negro Business—a place of beauty, efficiently operated. Such business places as Thurston's deserve the support of Negroes who have the future of the Race "at heart."

Mme. Dudley, of 465 Florida avenue, N.W., one of Washington's foremost beauticians, urges the girl graduate to take Beauty Culture. She says "I know of no field which is so greatly in need of educated women and no business which offers better and quicker revenue.
"The time is at hand when the public will demand intelligent beauty culturists. I feel the graduate could do no better than follow this line of endeavor. The field is wide open for efficient workers, and there is plenty of work for this class of person."
Mme. Dudley is a very thrifty young woman who has acquired much in her ten years in business. She manufactures her own preparations which she distributes widely through her agents in principal cities. She employees five operators regularly and has been instrumental in starting other shops which employ many girls of Our Race.

MARY V. LIGHTFOOT OLDEST RESIDENT BURIED TUESDAY
Was Resident Of Washington Since 1871; Died At Home Saturday
Funeral services for Mrs. Mary V. Lightfoot were held from her home at 903 S street, northwest, Tuesday, at 2 o'clock. The Rev. Walter Brooks, of Nineteenth St. Baptist Church, officiated. The home was a literal garden of beautiful flowers during the ceremonies, and an extra car was necessary to transport them. Burial was in Harmony Cemetery. The funeral was conducted by Otis Allen. Mrs. Lightfoot, who was one of the oldest residents of this city, died at her home, Saturday. Mrs. Lightfoot was born in Louisiana County, Va., on December 22, 1845, and was 86 years old at her death. In 1866, she was married to John W. Lightfoot at Culpeper Va., to whom were born seven children.
In 1871, she came to Washington, and two years later, in 1873, became a member of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Her membership there was retained to th time of her death. She was present at the preaching of the trial sermon of the Rev. Brooks, who not long ago observed his fifteenth anniversary as pastor of the church. She was the first colored
teacher in Culpeper, Va., and probably the first in the State. Mrs. Lightfoot contributed generously to charities and freely rendered numerous civic efforts.
Her husband's sister from Culpeper, Va., as well as her grandchild, Mrs. William Walker, of Indianapolis, were present at the funeral. Mrs. Walker who was formerly Elsie Lightfoot Rogers was accompanied by her husband and seven-month-old baby.
Mrs. Lightfoot is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Brucie B Braxton and Mrs. Gertrude Spencer, and eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
The grandchildren are Mrs. Ava Terry, Mrs. Gertrude S. Spencer, Mrs. Lillian Hills, Mrs. Elsie Walker, Mrs. Thomas Lightfoot Mr. Ambler Milton, Mr. De Wayne Milton, Mr. Alvin Milton, the great grandchildren, Jewel Hills and William Walker, jr.

COOKING HINTS
How to Get Variety in a Low-Cost Diet
By Gertrude C. Frazier
On any food budget, large or small, the homemaker must use ingenuity and cooking skill if she is to make her menus palatable, interesting and varied. The most expensive food can be ruined by poor cooking and seasoning, by being served in an uninteresting way or in unfortunate combinations of texture and flavor.
With a limited amount to spend for the table, buying cheap foods is only a part of the problem. Palatable meals attractively served are a powerful stimulant to the spirits. The cheap meal must not only meet body needs. It must taste good. Although many of the same ingredients must be used frequently, they must be combined to make each meal seem a little different. In other words, variety is the secret of interesting menus. It can be achieved even with inexpensive foods by taking a little thought.

Here are seven dinner menus planned by the Bureau of Home Economics within the low-cost weekly food supply suggested for a family of five. Notice that when the oven is in use, several dishes are baked at the same time, to economize fuel and time. Simple seasonings are carefully used. Just enough salt in the meats and the vegetables, a suggestion of onion in the stew or the hash, savory flavors like salt pork or bacon fat—these touches make the difference between a good cook and an indifferent one. It is not necessary to put mustard or catup on the table for every meal to make the food appetizing. The addition of these condiments covers up the characteristic flavor of the foods and makes them taste more or less alike, resulting in monotonous meals. The family should learn to

FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1932
THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSES H. U. GRADUATES
First we would like to ask just what was the President's address to the graduates? What did he say to them?
The best that can be said of President Hoover's address is that he tried to pat the Negro on the back with a slap of hypoeracy.
The President slips his famous "equal opportunity" phrase into his address, which he has fialed to prove that he really means what that phrase implies. As President of these United States, of all the people, Herbert Hoover has failed miserably to demonstrate his knowledge of "equal opportunity." It has only been a "sounding cymbal" in his mouth.
Does President Hoover really believe "By this process, the colored people are being integrated fully into the broad stream of the national life, sharing in the obligations and opportunity for political service, for economic advancement, for educational development of the individual, and for enjoyment of all the benefits of science and art and general culture, including skilled medical service, more beautiful home surroundings and a share in the intellectual progress of mankind." Again we ask, did the President really mean what he said in that sentence?
Let's see: "Are the colored people being integrated fully into the broad stream of national life?" Is not the President a barrier to the Negro being fully integrated into national life? As President he has failed to abolish segregation in all of the departments under him. Ostracised, segregated people cannot possibly integrate fully into national life. Why does he not issue an executive order abolishing this outstanding un-American practice right under his nose? Why does he not abolish the photograph with a Civil Service application, which bars Negroes from Civil Service employment. Why not appoint a Negro on the Civil Service Commission if he really believes in "equal opportunity?"
To what extent does the Negro "share in the obligations and opportunity for political service?" Is President Hoover ignorant of the fact that his Post Master General Brown kicked Ben Davis out as national committeeman of Georgia and set up a "lily white" machine, as he did Perry Howard in Mississippi, and Talbert in South Carolina? Is President Hoover ignorant of the fact that fully 9,000,000 Negroes in the great Southern States are disfranchised of their vote? Then if he has knowledge of this and is aware of the fact that his administration is a party to this un-American principle, how can he stand before university graduates and tell 5,000 Negroes that they are being integrated fully into the broad stream of national life" and enjoy political opportunity."
We could share more adequately in economic progress if President Hoover would issue an order abolishing the race prejudice ban on Negroes in Government employment. He could place more Negroes in important positions in the Agricultural Departments, the Land Bank Department, the Census Bureau, as one of three District commissioners since the Negro is more than one-fourth of the District population. Will the President demonstrate his "equal opportunity?"
President Hoover said the Negro has a chance to share in "skilled medical service." He would have a larger chance if President Hoover would appoint Negro physicians to Walter Reed Hospital, Mt. Alto Hospital, and other veterans' hospitals over the country. More Negroes in the public health service of the United States!
While the President's address was the shortest ever delivered to a Howard class, he said enough to prove that he is either totally ignorant of actual conditions in his country or that he says words that are absolutely meaningless to him. Which is it?
There is one thing certain that President Hoover has not made himself a hero to any one. The graduates showed disgust at his presence.
OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR DOCTORS
There are in our midst nearly twenty thousand veterans comprising the "Army" seeking the payment of the bonus. These men are closely congregated in several camps in our midst. This congestion, without the most modern sanitary conditions, is inducive to sickness and disease. An epidemic would not only be dangerous for these men, but would endanger the health of our city. It is to be recognized that our health department has not the force of men, nor the facilities to care for such an added population living under these unhealthy conditions. THE TRIBUNE believes that our physicians would not only be willing but anxious to serve in this situation. No better community service could be rendered than to serve in the protection of the health of our families during this emergency. Then, too, nearly all of our professional men saw service with the "boys over there." They know camp life—they speak camp language, and in many instances they owe their success in life to their experience in the Army or their training growing out of having been in the Army. Let our doctors register with THE TRIBUNE as willing to serve these men. THE TRIBUNE will let these veterans know through its columns those who are willing to join with them in their just fight for a right.
PRESIDENTS HOOVER AND JOHNSON
While it is conceded that the presence of the President of the United States is desired on most any occasion, and while it was a distinct honor for Howard University to have President Hoover as its commencement speaker, it is quite apparent that the inviation timed well into a political situation both on Capitol hill and Howard hill. The political fortunes of both presidents are now before the public. Reelection faces President Hoover and Congressional investigation faces President Johnson. President Johnson needs the political support of Mr. Hoover and President Hoover likely desires the support of Dr. Johnson's people. It is not likely that an exchange of political favors was actually discussed by the two, but at least a strong political gesture was made. It certainly does not seem fair to Howard University to have it appear that the influence of "its people in the coming election was gotten in this way.
The university, largely dependent upon Congress for its support, cannot afford to be charged with playing Republican

A LIVE, WORKABLE COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION
Washington is possibly the only city of its size in the United States without a working commercial organization among Negro business men.
And to realize that the former secretary of the National Negro Business League, under its famous founder and promoter, lives here.
About three years ago R. N. Mattingly, principal of the Cardozo Business High School, promoted a business club called "The Associated Business Men's Club," known as the A.B.C. Dr. John R. Hawkins was elected president, and Mr. Mattingly, secretary. But it has fallen by the wayside and is only known as "a has been."
The National Negro Business League opens in New York June 19, and continues through the 22. Washington will not have an official representative there because there is not a local branch of that organization here, nor is there an affiliated organization here to send a representative.
Washington is not a financial, commercial, or industrial centre like other cities, yet there are three live, working commercial organizations here among white business men, plus the Semi-Commercial Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. What is wrong with our business men that we cannot have a live commercial club here in Washington?

Next week (19th to 22nd) the National Negro Business League will be holding their thirty-third annual meeting in the city of New York and it will be interesting to observe the steps that will be taken to revive, conserve and foster improvements in the field of Negro Business.
With economic conditions as they ars and with business, of all types and of all races, falling by the wayside, there is a waiting field for the League to demonstrate its usefulness.

Generally speaking, what the business men of our race are in most need of is an organization of every-day services. The key-note speeches and various thames discussed at the annual meetings are interesting to read and study but the everyday usefulness of progressive, constructive and technical service are of far greater value to our handicapped business men of today.
The business and prestige of a physician is increased through the confidence of his patients and this confidence enhances as the physician demonstrates his ability to restore health to those suffering with the more serious ailments.

who will not only honor them with personal attendance and contact but one who will prescribe and apply restoratives of a practical nature. The business man not only wants honor of a membership in the League but he wants an organization to whom he can turn and secure practical assistance in time of need, whether it is temporary financing; re-financing; technical information or service; market, purchasing or sales statistics or even to secure, temporarily or permanently, the services of trained and experienced prospective employees.
The Business League should adopt a year-around active campaign to restore and create confidence in our enterprises. They should maintain an active investment fund to aid our financial institutions and the League should provide an intelligent system of protection for the investor's money. And their contacts and disseminating data should be so all-embracing that every one of our business men, from the smallest to the largest, would be constantly receiving the very latest facts, suggestions and helpful hints to improve his business.
To carry on such a needed program requires funds and with the annual membership dues costing only $2 every race business man (large or small) should be a member. The National Negro Business League is welcome to my two dollars, if they accept it.

THE HISTORY OF ETHER
Last week we told you about chloroform and while we are on this subject of anesthetics we might as well tell you of Ether. In most hospitals Ethic has become the anesthetic of choice, and it will not hurt you to k-ow something about its discovery.
Sir Humphry Davy, an English-
man, used nitrous oxide on himself
as far back as 1800. It was Dr. Crawford Williamson Long who—
in 1842—first used ether as an anesthetic. Dr. Longz removed a cystic tumor from the back of the neck of his patient, anesthetized with ether. However, Surgeon Long published none of his results. Two years later, a dentist in Connecticut—Horace Wells—used nitrous oxide in his practice. A fatality from nitrous oxide so upset Dr. Wells that he gave up practice and finally committed suicide.
Dentist Wells told hi. partner, William Thomas Green Morton, of his experimentations; and Dr. Morton investigated first chloric and then sulphuric ether. He was aided in this work by Dr. Charles T. Jackson. It was Morton who influenced Dr. John Collins Warren, of the Massachusetts General Hospital to try the new anesthetic. And, in 1846, in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Henry J. Bigelow described the result of Warren's operation and Morton's anesthetization, when Warren-after he had removed a congenital vascular tumor from the left side of the neck and his patient returned to consciousness--uttered those now famous words, "Gentlemen, this i. no humbug."
While Dr. Long was the first to use ether as an anesthetic, it is largely because of Warren's and Bigelow's confirmation of Morton's work that ether anesthetic is now such an important part of operative procedure.
A man who lies in bed late in the morning loses much of the day for work but saves much time for whoopee.
THE GRADUATES
The month of June, 1932, will see added thousands of Negro youth graduated from the many high schools and colleges of the United States. There can be no question of the fact that the race will look upon this situation as another signal advance in the already marvelous progress shown by the Negro, and the argument that these continued educational accomplishments are not conclusive evidences of improved standards is indisputable.
However, when we begin to review the political and economic possibilities of the group, we are apt to see this progress in an entirely different light. The whole problem of the education of the Negro youth seems to be one in which we advocate and encourage training with the view of individual and race gain, and it now develops along with the trend of economic evolution that this gain is limited to certain spheres and avenues. The policy of specialization was doomed to failure and impracticability of application, as long as it was confined to certain fields only, even in normal times, and now that we are in the throes of the greatest depression which the country has ever known, the situation becomes increasingly difficult. What is to become of these graduates who are now seeking an opportunity to use their training as a means of making a living?
There are a few professions into which the Negro can launch his efforts with at least a hope of being able to eke out a subsistence, but outside of these instances he is thrown upon the mercy of the world and can only hope for the best. What that best will be is purely a matter of conjecture, and truly there are those who say, "Why trouble yourself to get an education if you cannot get a job after you have finished your course?" No doubt we have heard this before and it has impressed you merely as a passing thought, but frankly, what are we going to do about this constantly growing mass of trained youth who have completed prescribed courses, a rosy opportunity awaits them. We have listened to our commencement speakers deliver their trite orations on opportunities for so long a time that we now know in advance what they are going to say. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any one of them that conditions might ever come to the point that we would not have these glorious opportunities of which they so frequently speak. It does seem somewhat unusual that they could not likewise predict some remedial measures to take care of such a situation as we are now facing.
The writer is not of the opinion that education is not a good tonic for the Negro to take, on the contrary, it has its desirable advantages which in the last analysis are really indispensable. The trouble appears to be that we have laid too much emphasis on particular fields of education, notably the literary or academic side, to the neglect and disregard of those phases of our life which will materially tend to lift us from the value of economic slavery. It is quite all right to promulgate, enunciate and pursue all sorts of theories, but if they are not practical in their application to human problems, they are of little value. We are not generally prone to recognize or admit these facts because of the danger of admitting the failure of our policies, but facts are facts, and we had just as well allow present conditions to be mirrored in front of us in their actual magnitude.
There are today ten million unemployed in the United States and the Negro forms a very large figure of this group. As a matter of fact there are some localities in which we have suffered more because of the depression, and this can be easily understood; it would be ridiculous for us even to expect that we would be given jobs in preference to whites, and then too, the past has shown that we are not generally accepted on a parity with the white working man. Would it not seem a little more beneficial to the Negro to stimulate his interest in the small business, develop his interest in the public welfare, and lay more emphasis and stress on those items which will result in an economic independence? As unwilling as are our so-called leaders to admit that we are still a dependent race, it remains that there are few movements initiated within the Negro race which are not either dependent or inter-dependent upon the assistance of whites. They have the capital and we are the paupers. We can't start anything unless we go to them for help. The only possible exceptions to this would be the cases of comparatively small enterprises or movements.
We, with all of the progress and advance which we have made in education, have not learned the lesson of co-operation. Our leaders are just as guilty of this lack, if not more so, than are the mass of Negroes. Review the history of any nation which has arrived or succeeded and you will find that they realized their goal through concentrated effort, diligent and continual application, and not through selfish, spasmatic, and impassionate appeals as are so characteristic of the Negro. The white man made it possible for us to get a start, a few self-sacrificing and genuine whites provided our first opportunities for education; they gave us the money
Finder Of Lindbergh Baby Ousted From Employment
By William Pickens
(for the Associated Negro Press)
William Allen who discovered the Lindbergh baby, and perhaps saved Lindbergh from being "gypped" out of another $50,000 by criminals whites, has not only been snubbed by the famous Colonel, but has not been rewarded in any way for his services and, according to the daily papers, has just been ousted by the government authorities at Coney Island from his employment in a show.
People were paying ten cents to see the man whose discovery of an infant's remains ended the most advertised search in human history and saved thousands of dollars for the state of New Jersey and other states, and really precipitated the detection of the fraud being committed by Curtis, of Norfolk, and some of his associates.
So far, it is reported, Lindbergh has not even had the ordinary courtesy to write a word of thanks to this man, who, when he discovered the baby's remains, promptly turned his truck around and drove to the headquarters of the searchers, reported the find, and led the authorities to the spot. This will not be recorded to Lindbergh's credit. We had always conceived that modest, courageous (and lucky) young man as being of a quite different type.
The whites (newspapers, professors, preachers and gangsters) have made all sorts of notorius for themselves and collected a good deal of cold cash for their real or faked connection with the case. Allen, as modest as Lindburgh could have been, fused to "cash in" and waited. He received neither thanks nor offer of aid, although big sums had been offered in reward. Finally Allen yielded to a normal human necessity and allowed a Coney Island show-man to hire him as an "attraction." Immediately Governor Moore, of New Jersey, and we believe it was at Lindbergh's suggestion, asked the Coney Island authorities to prevent this show-man from continuing to exhibit Allen,—thus denying the discoverer of the Dead Child the right to earn bread, honorably, to feed his own Living Children!
I can sympathize with Lindbergh and his wife in a desire not to have the sad incident advertised in that way; but the most chivalrous way out for them would have been to offer William Allen other employment and other means of making a living. That would have been a simple thing for either Lindbergh or the New Jersey authorities to effect—and much more commendable than pursuing this man to Coney Island and having him ousted by underhanded "influence."
What Allen was doing was at least open and honest, and not false and crooked like that done by many other people and agencies who "cashed in" on this case; the newspapers who increased their circulation by the hundred of thou sands, through the use of one sensational lie or another; and the reporters who magnified every "tip" and wrote million of lines of pure fiction; and the police officials who paraded around, looking important, when they didn't know a thing! All of those fellows ought to be jailed for getting money under false pretenses. There was no pretense about Allen's performance.
This will be a blot on the Lindbergh shield, if it is left so.
generation has now nearly died out, but through their efforts we have now recaused the point where we can at least begin to stand alone, not as a small unit here and there, but as a solid mass of citizens, undivided in purpose and united in action.
If we are ready to brag about our educational progress and clamor for equal rights, we should be ready and willing to assume the responsibilities which go along with this program. I do not wish to make an issue of the matter of equal rights or any other principle which is ours by right of birth and citizenship, yet, we are not putting forth the proper effort in support of those problems in which we purport to have a genuine and sincere interest. It is reasonable for the white man to expect us to begin to do things for ourselves. He is tired of carrying us, and we should be tired of being carried. We need some exercise—exercise of Negro initiative, exercises of Negro thought, exercise of Negro capital (howeevr small it is), exercise of Negro support in the interest of their own projects.
The mirror casts a reflection; look at it; examine the likeness shown; study it. If it does not suit, apply the make-up. This is your job as an individual. If all of us would superintend his own make-up after outline has been set, we would diminish our common problems, and I wonder if this would not in large measure be an important factor in the attempted solution of the race problem.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
In 1928, both of the great political parties side-stepped the prohibition issue by declaring, in general terms, for the enforcement of law. Al Smith with dauntless intellipity catapulted the issue into the Democratic campaign even after he had been nominated on an equivocal platform. During the past four years the politicians of both parties have gravitated to the position then dramatically proclaimed by the Democratic candidate. He then declared himself in favor of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and leaving the after adjustment to the decision of the states. In the mean time the wets have been persistently active. The newspapers almost without exception have favored liberal interpretation or lax enforcement of the law. The pulpit has been silent. Straw votes have seemed to show the drift in the direction of wetness. Timid politicians have become顽固ed. Mr. Hoover appointed a commission of eleven members who rendered eleven different reports which a Philadelphia lawyer could hardly understand. The department of Justice has spent many millions of dollars trying, apparently in vain, to enforce the law. The dry forces have been ineffective. They have lacked the courage or the cunning to launch a frontal attack. Now the wet side has put on such a bold front as to deceive even the elect. The South which was regarded as the strong hold of dryness is drifting to the wet side, state by state. The Republican Party which has historically stood for temperance against the persistent opposition of the Democratic rival to sumptuary laws, is now about to give up the ghost and seems ready to write into the platform the resubmission of the Eighteenth Amendment and the final adjustment to the states. There is some talk that both parties will adopt identical prohibition plans and thus take the issue out of national politics. This is surely a great tribute to the political foresight of Al Smith. On such a platform he ought to be the common candidate of both parties. The rest are seeing now what he saw four years ago.
Things are apt to go awry when the politicians come to grips with moral issues. They seek first what they think the people want and then adjust their moral notions accordingly. As Senator Borah has repeatedly pointed out, resubmission of this question by

As A Physician Sees It— Help
In a copy of the Tribune, June 10, the writer notes an article "As a Woman Sees It." Dicty!
The writer of that article, among other things, states: "Last night we sat in a gathering of colored people . . . and the attitude of the group could be summed up by the words of one man: 'The so-called educated and professional Negroes have done less to help the race than any one else.'"
The writer of this article would like to supplement "As a Woman Sees It," because he is and has always been interested in the well-being (help) of the Negro. He is interested in the Negro race in general, and in the professional part of the race in particular.
As to the business world, in the way of help the writer would suggest that you suspend criticism until you will have had experience and conviction in that field. The writer has had both. He simply mentions the fact, and pass on.
First, I should like to know the nature of the idea of help the person had in mind when he made that statement expressive of his respects to the so-called educated and professional Negroes. If I knew I should probably exchange views with him, for I think his and my idea of help ar quite different. Secondly, waiving such consideration on the speaker's part, I should like to ask the opinion of any one as to the relation of help and the following:
1. The proposed medical science hall, our hospitals.
2. The abandonment of a lucrative professional practice in one of the largest cities in the world to accept a position as instructor in the largest Negro college in the world.
3. The refusal of an offer of a position in one of the world's largest research laboratories, and also refusal of a chair in one of the foremost colleges of the world, to instruct at Howard; and as he said, "I can do more good helping my own people."
These are but a few, but brilliant examples of what the writer would define as help—true, real, intrinsic help.
Further, the writer should like to say that he personally knows a physician who was called in to see a quiet sick person just this week. The person was extremely poor. After service was rendered, the head of the family asked the doctor, "What is your charge?" The doctor told him the amount of the usual fee. He replied, "I haven't quite a dollar." The doctor looked first at the furnishings of the room which indicated poverty in extreme. He then looked at the head of the family, lastly he looked at the patient. He drew from his pocket
party declarations is arrant nonsense. Congress under the Constitution has the right to submit an addition or change to the Constitution to popular approval, either by way of a formulated amendment or calling a constitutional convention for such purpose. If the requisite majority of Congress wants this done it can be done at any time. Let the people choose Congressmen and Senators instructed to carry out their will as to prohibition and nothing more is necessary. But since both parties are to play politics with this moral question, it should be done forthright. Let the Democratic party declare for rum according to its tradition. Let the Grand Old Party stand upright and down straight for prohibition. Then we will know exactly how the matter stands as between the two great antagonists. It is useless for the Republicans to try to vie with the Democrats as to relative wetness. You cannot beat the enemy on his own ground. The Democratic South has within recent decades made a grand gesture of dryness, but the gesture is not gentle. The traditional Southern gentleman without his toddy is an impossibility of thought. The Northern reefment with its foreign background and tradition is honestly and sincerely wet. The Republican party is essentially a native born agrarian party. Its origin and traditions are racy of the soil. As the population drifts to cityward, the tendency is towards wetness and away from Republican traditions. The Grand Old Party had as well recognize this basic fact and make the final stand for its principles before it is too late. If the Grand Old Party turns towards wetness in order to beat the adversary, it will sacrifice its traditional policy and thereby invite defeat. We all know that a Democratic victory means a wet victory. If a Republican victory means the same thing, then the genuine drys have little choice. If I were a wet, as I am a dry, I would make assurances certain by voting the Democratic ticket. But as I am not a wet, I would like to aid the dry cause through the Republican party, if it will let me. But if both parties play politics at Chicago, as they seem likely to do, the geneineine drys will perforce be compelled to remain tru to their conviction by inaugurating a third party whose foundation principle will be the cause of dryness. This would probably defeat the Grand Old Party in the next election but would advance the use of prohibition in the long run.
blank book. On a leaflet he wrote "Received of Mr. . . payment in full for professional service rendered." In addition to this the doctor had incurred other cash expenses. The druggist who furnished the medicine charged what it cost. Was this help? This was just one case; just one day. Was this help? Yes; the tireless service of the doctor and the druggist to lessen disease, cure the sick, and if it were possible, to render health, instead of disease, contagious, is the superlative help in the power of man. Help as the writer sees it might be: a Lawnful, a Lipton, a Lewis, or a Lucifer. A coin tossed (not) in scorn—alms.

"BRIGHT SKIN"
Cricket, the "Bright Skin" girl, is the illegimate child of a coloré mistress and her white lover and is reared in the back-woods of the deep south, where such inter-racial liaisons are numerous. Blue, who is the son of the sister of Cricket's mother, is very much colored. His mother, in keeping with the supposed wild blood that ran in the family, proves unfaithful to Blue's father, and while Blue was but a young child the parents separated and they left Blue to be reared with other relatives on the same plantation on which Cricket lives. A peculiar romance between Blue and Cricket runs throughout the story. While the children are growing up the readers are treated to the intimate everyday life of Negroes on the rural plantations of the deep south.
Many characters are introduced by which we learn of the superstitious, folk-lore, promiscuous love-affairs, conjuring methods, hypocritical beliefs, dramas, tragedies and whatnot of these ignorant country folks.
There are many scenes in connection with the romance of Blue and Cricket that are extremely touching but whatever love and sympathy we had for Crickets, as a child, are entirely dissipated by her later actions as she grew into young womanhood and became more sophisticated. Perhaps, though, Blue was entirely too altruistic and too unsophisticated to hold the love of a g.r.l like Cricket turned out to be?

WIFE SAYS SHE WAS FORCED FROM HOME IN RAIN
Mrs. Pauline Clark Asks Court For Custody Of Child And Alimony
Charging that her husband beat her and forced her to leave their home on a rainy night, Mrs. Pauline Mitchell Clark, 1336 Q street, northwest, filed a petition for limited divorce from her husband, Morris W. Clark, 1136 C street, northwest, a government employee. The Clarks were married March 15, 1930.
The petition states that hardly two weeks had elapsed after their marriage before Clark assaulted her. It alleges that on June 3, this year she went to Children's Hospital to take her 7-month old baby for treatment and on her return Clark severely beat her for failing to take his clothes to the cleaners. During the first summer of their marriage she states that she was forced to flee from their home at 11:30 at night in a pouring rain to escape the wrath of her husband. Blaires, Mother-In-Law
Blames Mother-in-Law Mrs. Clark blames her mother-in-law for most of her domestic troubles and says that her husband's mother has influenced him against his wife.
At one time she says her sister had to rescue her from her husband after she had been knocked down twice. She was taken to her bedroom and says her husband followed her there and attempted to beat her again. She says Clark has taken their child to his mother's home where she is afraid to visit because he has threatened to use her bodily harm if she ever takes him to court. At one time he threatened her life, the petition claims. She is forced to live on the charity of friends although her husband is employed at the War Department at a salary of $1,200 per year and is also owner of the Lincoln Vale, Shop, 246 Twelfth street, northeast, where she believes he earns $75 per month. Mrs. Clark asks the court for alimony and custody of their son. Attorneys Armond Scott and Elwood Hubert represented Mrs. Clark.
Boy Without Hands And Feet Proves A Marvel
RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—The George Mason School here boasts of an eight-year-old boy without hands and feet who has learned to write, play baseball, run and take part in other school activities of normal children of his age.
Undeterred by his physical disabilities, Sammy Workman, with an intelligence above the average, has just finished the 2-L grade, and with a surprising regularity takes his place in all school activities that attract his companions.
This little Negro boy cannot remember when the accident occurred which deprived him of his hands and feet, but the general opinion is that he was badly frost-bitten when a baby. A wagon, given him by a school official, is used in his transportation, and two companions haul him to and from school.

DR. J. A. MCDUFFIE ENDS 48 YEARS IN FEDERAL SERVICE
Last Of Staff Clerks Who Started Commerce Department In 1904
Dr. Joseph A. McDuffie, after forty-seven years, nine months and thirteen days of service with the Federal Government, retired from the Statistical Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce last Saturday, with retirement as of June 28, the intervening period being his earned leave of absence which has accumulated since the first of the year. Dr. McDuffie is the last of the original staff of clerks which came from the Treasury Department to start the Department of Commerce and Labor twenty-eight years ago. He was then a man with a substantial service record. His going out was made the occasion for a nice little farewell reception in the Division office which was attended by the Chief Clerk of the Department, E. W. Libbey, and John Hohs, Division chief, both of whom made laudatory addresses. John W. Charleston representing the Department mail service. Edward J. Gardner, chief of the Appointment Bureau, J. Ratcliffe Boyd, of the Mimeographing office, James A. Jackson and D. W. Wyckes of the Marketing Service Division, and the entire personnel more than sixty clerks most of them women of the Statistical Division attended the farewell.
A twenty dollar gold piece, a pipe with case and pouch and a large collection of floral pieces were presented to him, one thoughtful woman provided a large ginger cake out of regard for the doctor's known love of that tidbit.
Dr. McDuffie, visibly affected responded with an address outlining his career from pre-slavery days to his placement as a statistical expert and through his struggles to obtain a medical education as a Howard University graduate in 1888 when he received his medical degree.

Denies Negro Jimcrowed at
Colored Newsmen Protest
Segregation Tables
At Howard
Denies Negro Reporters Were Jimcrowed at H.U. Exercises
Although separate accommodations were provided for white and colored reporters at the Howard Commencement Friday, university officials denied that there was any attempt to jimcrow or segregate the reporters as to color. Emory Smith, director of publicity at the university, said he had no connection in arranging the tables and said John Hope, superintendent of buildings and grounds, arranged the press tables. In a statement to a Tribune reporter after the commencement, Mr. Hope said he had been in conference before the exercises with Colonel Starling, aid to the president, and this official had requested that special tables be set up for White House reporters. Mr. Hope said Col. Starling told him that there would be about eight reporters from the White House and they would leave after the president's address.
In view of this Mr. Hope said he had placed near an exit tables to care for ten reporters. This group was placed to the right of the president and his party on the platform. To the left of the president were tables to accommodate other reporters who happened to be all colored. As soon as the president completed his address all of the white
"BE A MAN" DR. C. G. WOODSON TELLS CARDOZO PUPILS
Prominent Historian Speaks At High School Flag Day Exercises
"The flag means to us what we deserve to have it mean" declared Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Negro History Association, speaking at the Flag Day exercises at Cardozo High School Tuesday morning. He spoke from the subject, "The Significance of the American Flag."
Continuing Dr. Woodson said being a man, the part must be cause we have done but little for it—we are living in an age of the survival of the fittest and someone need to do something that will raise the Negro up to a position where he can feel that the American Flag is his flag. But to reach this position, we must suffer.
"It is not enough to talk about being a man the part must be acted. The world will never do for a people what those people can do for themselves. What we need is producers—not menials—throw off the traces of slavery and be a man, an upright, honest, clean thinking man. Produce something that the world needs and you will be recog-nized—have character and courage. Say, 'I am a man and be one,'" he concluded. Dr. Woodson also gave some inspiring facts about Negroes who

reporters left.
However, it was noted that several of the white reporters did not belong to the White House and were seated with members of their race at the white press tables. Loud speakers mounted on a steel scaffold in front of the platform divided the two sets, of tables. Mr. Hope said he would have placed all of the tables in a row if the scaffold were not in the center and caused a division of the tables.
Colored newsmen from several papers immediately took offense at what they said was segregation on the part of the university when they saw the separate layout for reporters. Many immediately blamed the publicity department headed by Emory Smith as he has shown a preference to white papers in regards to news of the university. At one time he wrote to a white paper in Philadelphia thanking a reporter for writing a story of the Howard-Lincoln game while colored papers protested that Smith has never thanked them for publishing news of Howard although Negro papers have published miles of news about Howard. Colored reporters also point out that White House reporters are not given any special accommodations at all-white events.

Tim McDonald, Alleged Detective, Demands Jury Trial
Timothay McDonald, alleged private detective, of 1810 R street, northwest, pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial when arraigned before Judge P. McMahon in Police Court Monday, on an assault charge. The charge grew out of an "arrest" McDonald is said to have made.
Corinne McCown, who lives at the Y.W.C.A., told police McDonald "arrested" her May 27, telling her she was charged with stabbing her husband. When she refused to accompany him, she said he dragged her to the Second Precinct where she was later released.
Last summer, McDonald was one of the star witnesses in a big Fourteenth street robbery case in which two men were killed.
LOCAL TEACHERS' UNION FIGHTS WAGE SLASHING
LOCAL TEACHERS' UNION FIGHTS WAGE SLASHING
The local teachers'.union, Local No.27, of the American Federation of Teachers, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, met at the Y.W.C.A. on Tuesday, June 14, to consider the proposed reduction of the salaries of federal employees, and other activities of the organization.
The guest speaker of the evening, Miss Selma M. Borchardt, legislative representative of the American Federation of Teachers, outlined the program of the organization in its fight against the reduction of salaries, and pointed out that the furlough plan as advocated by the administration is a better and more desirable plan than the suggested 10 per cent horizontal cut in all divisions with no exemption.
Miss Borchardt said, "We must do all in our power to maintain salaries at their present level, and if we cannot be exempt from any cut along with the police, firemen, and members of the Army and Navy, whose salary status is not affected by the Economy Bill, we must oppose a flat reduction. If Congress ever succeeds in lowering salaries, it will be a difficult matter to have them restored to their former standard."
Mrs. Mary McNeill, of the Board of Education, stressed the importance of the teacher's attendance and co-operation with the Parent Teacher Associations. Among the other speakers were Mrs. Mary-C. Dent, Mrs. M. M. Jones, president of Local No. 27; and Miss Mary Moore, who discussed illiteracy conditions in the mountain sections of North Carolina. Mrs. Joseph Douglas rendered a piano selection. The program was arranged by Mrs. Esther B. King.
