The jury throughout the trialowed interest in the case and asked many questions. There was argument by either side and the verdict was rendered without demonstration by spectators.

His story agreed every way with the alibi furried by former Sheriff Sedwick in his family. Fry said he did not remember statements to county officials Page and Rockingham. In response to a question by Deputy Briff D. F. Fox, the youth said, "I'm telling what Mr. Sedwick I go to tell."

Mrs. Brice became "pevved" when a witness, Mrs. Maggie Fields, 928 R street, northwest, testified that Mrs. Brice "came home drunk and raised a fuss." Mrs. Brice was starling before the bench and before attendants could move to prevent her, she stepped to the witness stand and slapped at her accuser and yelled, "You're liar." While attendants scrambled to stop her Mrs. Price grabbed the ink well from in front of Judge Given and hurled it at Mrs. Fields. The ink splashed over the records and Judge Given, as well as several of those who attempted to stop the woman. Judge Given mad a grab at the woman and thrust out an arm to duck the ink well and resultant shower. An officer in court grasped the women and recovered the ink well. After order was restored and the judge rubbed a blouch of ink out of his eye the woman was found guilty on the disorderly charge and given a 30-day 'ail sentence or $25 fine. She w taken before Judge Isaac Hitt on his assault count arising out of the inkwell incident, where she was convicted and sentenced to 360 days in jail with the additional 60 days if she fails to pay fines amounting to $50.

Thompson, Jr., ousted director of chemical laboratories at Howard University, objected to the hinted "counter suit" in an article in the Tribune last week, in which it was stated that Mrs. Marjorie Johnson Thompson, wife of the former director, was planning to institute divorce proceedings in Philadelphia. Mr. Thompson says he has taken no action against Mrs. Thompson in "this unfortunate and unpleasant situation." Mr. Thompson filed affidavits with Howard University officials some time ago in which he alleged he found Prof. Percy Laven Julian, head of the department of chemistry at Howard, and Mrs. Thompson in the former's apartment on Willard street. Later Mr. Thompson, who was under Prof. Julian, was dismissed from his position. Prof. Julian was sued for $10,000 by Mr. Thompson, who alleged alienation of affections. Prof. Julian countered with a $50,000 damage suit. The Tribune also stated that no action had been contemplated by Mr. Thompson in the divorce suit planned to be filed by Mrs. Thompson through her Philadelphia attorney, Raymond Pace Alexander, but stated in the headlines that one may be filed, although his attorney, Nathan A. Dobbins, refused to comment on the action taken by Mrs. Thompson in Philadelphia, where she has taken residence. Mr. Thompson in a letter to the Tribune, says: "Permit me to call your attention to the fact that so far I have taken no action against Mrs. Thompson in this unfortunate and unpleasant situation. My friends understand my attitude in this matter quite plainly. I, therefore, cannot see how you can refer to her proposed action in Philadelphia as a 'counter suit.' "I make this statement in fairness to Mrs. Thomson and to myself because the facts as printed by you are misleading." M. B. BRIG. GENERAL PELHAM D.

Editor White is hiding in a distant city. He has been editing the paper for eight years. Constitutional liberty was flaunted and law and order temporarily repudiated here Tuesday night, when members of the Shreveport police force and the sheriff department armed with machine guns and rifles, stood sentinel at the Lakeside auditorium to prevent the holding of a mass meeting of race citizens where a voters league for the group was scheduled to be organized. Declaring that before race citizens of Shreveport would be allowed to cast their ballots the streets of the city would be drenched with human blood, authorities of the city and parish cast aside their roles as peace officers of the community, and defied race leaders of Shreveport to carry out their plans for the holding of the mass meeting. The meeting had been called by a set of patriots of the race at Shreveport for the purpose of organizing members of the race into a potential political The Freedmen's Hospital Ambulance and taxicabs from the General and Amos n' Andy Cab Company of Southwest Washington were pressed into service Thursday to aid the 400 or more stricken victims who arrived on the Steamer Charles McCalester suffering with poisoning received on a picnic at Marshall Hall, a white summer resort.

Those sponsoring the meeting adhered strictly to the laws of the state and nation, but they were confronted with armed dishonorable opposition which threatened to resort to violence. Not only was pressure brought to bear to prevent the holding of the meeting, but the principal speakers on the program were denied the right of free speech and were warned not to deliver their well advertised addresses. This incident will go down in history to make Shreveport the most infamous city in America for rabid race prejudice and political intolerance. Shreveport is the same city where the same sheriff, armed with sawed off shot guns, went gunning for William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who had been asked to visit Shreveport and make a talk. Pickens had been advised of the sentiment created by the sheriff and he declined to make the trip. Similar action was taken several months ago when Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, was scheduled to speak in Shreveport. Mr. DePriest's speech there was cancelled after the daily papers and authorities had protested against his visit. Bertha A. Dixon, 33, 224 C street, southwest, was being held at the Fourth Precinct Wednesday, pending the outcome of the wounds of Eleanor McDonald 29, 443 Second street, southwest.

Receive Only $.50 Per Hour Investigation By Labor Department Reveals Deplorable Fact After Protests Of 'Fired' Laborer; Wage Law Doesn't Apply To Particular Job Despite the depression and the financial condition of the coutry today, bricklayers now employed on the construction work at Howard University are only being paid fifty cents an hour for their labor. This deplorable fact was revealed Wednesday in a report on the salary conditions existing at the construction work at Howard by Karl F. Phillips, Commissioner of Conciliation, of the Labor Department, submitted to H. L. Kerwin, Director of Conciliation, of the same department. GIRL, 12, KILLED WHILE GRABBING ICE FROM TRUCK Commissioner Phillips' report followed complaints from Holman Mitchell, 1205 Harvard street, northwest, former bricklayer on the job, and Chester Cornell, another bricklayer, who is hired intermittently as a extra man. The work involves the building of walls and piers around the frontage of the new dormitory buildings at Fourth and College streets. Contracts, for the work held by Bahn and Wright Company, 915 Rhode Island Avenue, were first sublet to Bainard Construction Company, of Baltimore, Md., and later sublet to J. Saunders, of the Local Bricklayers Union, Third and I streets, northwest. At the time jobs on the construction were about to be let, negotiations were on for the importation of non-union men from Baltimore to take the jobs at a reduction in wages, the report said. Learning this, Mr. Saunders and five of his associates negotiated DEPOSITS EXCEED WITHDRAWALS AT PRUDENTIAL BANK DEPOSITS EXCEED WITHDRAWALS AT PRUDENTIAL BANK The good news from the Prudential Bank this week is encouraging. Edward A. Baker, the cashier, states that the deposits at the bank each day are exceeding the withdrawals. Mr. Baker also states that more than 100 depositors who withdrew their deposits during the two-day run on the bank have returned and deposited the money withdrawn, an din some cases increased the amount of the deposit. Even persons who had notes in the bank have called ahead of the date due and paid off their notes. The waivers signed by depositors at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and at the bank only affects the money on deposit at the time of signing the waivers. It does not affect money deposited by those depositors since they signed the waivers. Mr. Baker also stated that the Prudential charter authorized a capital stock of $200,000. Only half of the amount authorized, or $100,000, has been sold, and that the bank will soon launch a campaign to sell more of the stock. The insurance managers of the city have promised full co-operation of their forces in helping the Prudential to reach the people. Mrs. Amanda Gray Hillier is organizing a group of women who propose to make a house-to-house canvass for the bank. Rev. Boiling Speaks Rev. R. H. Bolling, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va., was the principal speaker at the mass meeting, Monday night, at the Garnet-Patterson school auditorium. He related the story of the closing and reopening of the Commonwealth bank in Norfolk. He inspired the audience as he told of the faithful and strenuous efforts of the Negroes of Norfolk to maintain their commercial and financial institutions. Rev. Bolling is a forceful speaker and dealt in facts that were convincing. John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank, was also a speaker. He told of the heroic efforts of his staff and directors to keep the doors of the bank open and restore normalcy to the general business of the institution H RE king at Howard $.50 Per Hour Department Reveals Deplorable "Fired" Laborer; Wage To Particular Job GIRL, 12, KILLED WHILE GRABBING ICE FROM TRUCK GIRL, 12, KILLED WHILE GRABBING ICE FROM TRUCK Child Attempts. To Jump Off Rear Of Machine And Is Caught In Wheel Dorothy Harris, 12-year-old girl, 611 Morton street, northwest, died at Freedmen's Hospital Friday from injuries she received June 18 when she fell from the rear stop of an ice truck in front of 711 Newton street, northwest. The girl was stealing a ride on the truck at the time of the accident, and was seeking small pieces of ice. In jumping from the machine her legs became entangled in right rear wheel and she was thrown to the ground breaking her legs and causing other injuries. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital by George Denham, white, 401 Decatur street, who was passing in an automobile and who was hailed by Munford V. Mullins, white, 3540 New street, who saw the girl fall and picked her up. Samuel Simms, 26, 10 G street, northwest, driver of the truck, was arrested after the accident and released in the custody of his attorney. Following an inquest into the girl's death at the District Morgue Monday morning a coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidental death and Simms was exonerated of all blame. Testifying in his own behalf, Simms said he did not know the child was on his truck and only learned of the accident after he had reached the office of the Terminal Ice and Fuel Company. The truck was going south on Georgia avenue and had turned west on Newton place. The girl, according to other witnesses, got on the rear end of the truck on Georgia avenue and when the vehicle turned into Newton place she attempted to jump off. Dr. C. J. Murphy who performed an autopsy on the girl said her death was due to fractures suffered when she fell. Howard Law Graduate Given Important Position Edward W.

ALLEY DWELLERS PAY EXHORBITANT RENTS HERE Many Have No Gas, Water, Electricity Or Improvements Of Any Kind Appearing before the Committee inquiring into the rent situation in Washington, Roy A. Ellis and Rev. J. C. Olden presented a tragic picture of landlords fleeing poor people by exorbitant rents for shacks unfit for homes. Rev. Olden told of advanced apartment rents when a house was turned from white to colored tenants. Many cases were cited of advances ranging from 25 to 50 and even 100 per cent over what white tenants paid. Mr. Ellis made a comprehensive presentation, a portion of which follows: "In the past, there have been suggestions of legislating out existence these veritable slurs which are breeding contour disease, immorality, and lameness, but as yet, no definite has been taken to this end may I say to the members of committee at this juncture the conditions in these hells are sufficiently pressing to call immediate and drastic action of the Federal authorities. "I have personally made a survey, lasting several days, of about 25 alleys and courts, and I have found conditions deplorable from the point of sanitation, but aside from this angle, it is inconceivable that these individuals are compelled to pay such exorbitant rents for the dingy quarters which they occupy. "I submit for the record the following data on a few localities: Navy Place, between 6th and 7th Sts., G and I Streets, S.E., has about 50 of these alley dwellings. These houses range from 4 to 8 rooms, and rent from $10.50 to $13.50 per month. On the surface, this seems very cheap rent, and it is, but when you consider that these houses have no gas, no electricity, no baths, no running water in the house, and in most cases outdoor lavatories, the whole situation takes on an entirely different aspect. The landlords will not make any repairs, and a roof must be leaking to the point of a dulge of water before the landlord will repair it. The tenants informed me that they must pay for all (Continuing) WOMAN WEARS ALLEGED STOLEN DRESS IN COURT Ordered Held For Grand Jury Following Hearing On Larceny Charge Appearing in court dressed in an attractive new evening gown and slippers which police allege purchased with stolen in Pearline Higginbotham, of Smithson court, southwest, was ordered, held for the grand jury on a larceny charge after Judge Isaac R. Hitt listened to a vivid story of an alleged spending spree Saturday morning. The testimony given by occupants of a house in the 1700 block of Columbia road, where Mrs. Higginbotham is employed as a general housekeeper, showed that small bills totaling almost fifty dollars were found missing during the week. A statement made by Mrs. Higginbotham's husband and read by the prosecuting attorney, indicated that the woman had spent an almost identical amount on clothes, shoes, taxi fares and admission tickets to various amusement places during the week. in face of this circumstantial science, the woman was enduring hence TEN N.A.A.C.P. ENTERS FIGHT TO SAVE REP CAPS' JOBS Station Master Seeks To Make Men Do Work Of Cleaners Without Pay The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People entered the battle of the Red Caps against the Union Station officials, this week, when A. S. Pinkett, secretary, wrote a strong letter of protest to B. R. Tolson, superintendent of Washington Terminal protesting against a move by Station Master W. H. Marks to dismiss cleaners at the station and make Red Caps do the cleaning. At a meeting early in July Marks outlined to the Red Caps that he planned to fire the cleaners and asked the men to do the work for nothing. All refused. Only recently a Red Cap was fired because he refused to help lower a flag which is the work of the station cleaners. The men pointed out that if they take over the work of the cleaners the letter group will be thrown out of jobs. Marks seeks to feather his own cap by forcing the Red Caps to do the extra work for nothing. The letter sent to the Superintendent by the N.A.A.C.P. follows: "Our attention has been called to a suggested change of polye in your office by reason of which further hardships will be imposed upon the long-suffering red cap porters attached to the Union Station. "We have been led to believe that if your attention were called directly to the matter you would prevent the imposing of any further sacrifices upon these men, hence this letter. Wihtout Pay "The information coming to us is that Red Cap porters are to be called upon to perform duties here-tore performed by cleaners. This latter group, we are advised, are employed by your company at a stipulated wage, while the porters are not and the effect of the new policy would be to throw the cleaners out of employment while the work formerly done by them would be done by Red Cap porters without compensation—a saving to the Terminal Company at the expense of the already poorly paid Red Cap porters. "The income of Red Cap porters has been and is now almost at the starvation point, due to several causes among which are, a falling off of travel and a reduction in the size of tips given by such of the public as continues to travel. In the most presuperior days of our country a Red Cap porter's income was not lucrative. Most of them received nothing from your company, and those whom your company did pay received a maximum, we are advised, of about seven dollars per month, out of which were paid certain insurance premiums. "We are advised that in your company's economy program the monthly pittance above referred to has been withdrawn. In addition to the loss of this small stipend these men have been subjected to a further reduction in income, we are advised, by reason of your increasing the number of Red Cap porters heretofore employed, thus dividing among a larger number of men the few small tips which do come into their hands. Staryation Condition "In addition to this starvation condition there now comes the order from one of your subordinates, according to information reaching us, that Red Cap porters must do the work of cleaners. "If this order is permitted to go into effect your present corps of clean; will be thrown out of work and ...before forced to join our already over-large army of unemployed. "We have information to the effect that already Red Cap porters who declined to do the work of cleaners have been dismissed from the service. "We do not question the right of your company to fix the wages of its employees nor the condition of their employment, neither do we hesitate to call your attention to the injustice of the penalty sought to be imposed upon Red Cap porters for the privilege of working, without pay, for your company. "We appeal to your sense of fairness to correct the injustice and inequality herein referred to and most respectively register our protest against driving these worthy men to the brink of starvation and serfdom." S. W. COMMUNITY HOUSE ATTRACTS LARGE GROUP S. W. COMMUNITY HOUSE ATTRACTS LARGE GROUP There is no better proof of the progress in the Southwest Community House than in the enthusiastic attendance at the summer school classes fostered by the House. This summer program, which was organized by Mrs. Alma J. Scott, and her workers, consists of many and varied activities created in the interest of the pupils. Clubs sponsored by the center include art and sewing by Miss Amelia Wormley; wool weaving by Miss Evelyn Gardiner; flower making, Miss Ruth Chapman; drawing and art by Miss Alice Hyman; English and speech by Miss J. Peterway; tinning, by Mr. O. Madden, and dramatics by Mrs. Alice Dumas. The club work will be carried on until August 16. The Nursery Department of the House under the instruction of Misses Elsie Hart and Marjorie Wormley are carrying out a program of its own. Presents Play A play, "Doll's Carnival," in which a dozen little girls dressed in Colonial costumes and carrying dolls, was presented last week. The older boys and girls presented "Sleeping Beauty" under Mrs. Dumas's direction. Both plays were made interesting by the picture-que costumes and scenes. The program was presented in the streets, a block being roped off for the occasion. The children and workers were later rewarded with a picnic to Rock Creek Park. TWO NEW C. M. A. STORES TO OPEN New York, July 28.—Two new C. M. A. stores will open in Westchester county early in August, it was announced from the national office of the C. M. A. organization this week. One store will be owned and operated by J. H. Smith of Nepepheham. Mr. Smith, who has for some time been a member of a white voluntary chain organization, recently resigned from that group to join the C. M. A. (His store is being remodeled according to C. M. A. specifications. The other store will be located in New Rochelle and is a new store which will be owned jointly by Cyril Morris and James S. Harris. This store will occupy space in the new building recently erected by Lewis Jones, a successful business man of New Rochelle. Miss Eva D. Bowles, secretary of C. M. A., is cooperating with the Housewives League of Nepperhan and New Rochelle in connection with the opening celebrations of the two stores. HARLEM GROWS TOWARD SOUTH Population of 'Little Africa' Put At 250,000, Spreads South To 111 Street (From the New York Times) In the last few years that part of northwestern Manhattan which is popularly known as "Harlem's Little Africa" has changed perceptibly in contour and character. In a few months entire neighborhoods have changed from white to black. Ten years ago only a handful of Negroes lived south of 125th Street. Today there are thousands of them as far south as 111th Street. The most noticeable transformation has taken place in the vicinity of 116th Street and Fifth Avenue, where a Spanish-speaking group of more than 100,000 has sprung up. This rapid growth of the Negro settlement, which is a city within a city, has called for a complete revision of the map of "Little Africa". Roughly its boundaries extend from 111th to 155th Streets and from Fifth Avenue to Manhattan, Morningside and St. Nicholas Avenues. Most of the large apartment houses in Edgecombe Avenue as far north as 155th Street are inhabited by Negroes. However, there are neighborhoods in settlements here and there which have remained almost exclusively white. The Negro population is estimated at 250,000, with Southern and other American Negroes predominating. Next in number are the West Indians and Puerto Ricans, with scatterings of Spaniards, Mexicans, Aybissinians and others from Old World colonies. The growth of the settlement has been retarded somewhat by the restrictive immigration laws and business conditions. However, Puerto Rican Negroes, who are not affected by these laws, are coming here in large numbers. Not All of Harlem Is Gay Many misconceptions have grown up concerning Harlem. One is the fallacy that the settlement is composed chiefly of night clubs, drinking resorts and questionable places where whites and blacks foregather. Conditions are no worse in Harlem than in other parts of the city in which large racial groups commingle, the police there declare. Most of the crimes in Harlem are crimes of passion. Negroes with criminal tendencies are greatly outnumbered by sober, industrious members of the race. It is not known generally that the community has some 200 churches. It is estimated that they have invested $5,000,000 in church property. For instance, St. Phillip's Protestant Episcopal Church is said to be the wealthiest Negro church in America. The parish formerly was in the neighborhood of "Hell's Kitchen." The property was purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the parish moved to Harlem and built a handsome edifice. The parish now owns all of the buildings except two on the north side of 135th Street, between Lenox and Seventh Avenues. Other large churches include St. Marks, which covers an entire block; Mother Zion, the Abysinian Baptist Church, Salem and Mount Olivet. Besides the large churches there are about 150 "storefront" or "parlor churches" which occupy the ground floors of private dwellings. Moreover, there are few empty pews in "Little Africa." On Sunday morning church bells seem to peal everywhere and one sees hundreds of soberly clad men and women wending their way to meeting. The large churches have vested choirs. Many Shops Open all Night There are hundreds of stores of all kinds in the community. Most of them are owned by Negroes. One is impressed by the profusion of barber shops and beauty parlors. Many of them remain open all night for the accommodation of musicians, stage folk and night workers, of whom there are many in the settlement. Besides building churches, Harlem Negroes have erected several office structures. The Y.M.C.A is erecting a $1,500,000 twelve-story building for its Negro members in West 135th Street near Seventh Avenue. Harlem is often called the "sleepless city" because it never really goes to bed. Moving picture theatres give midnight shows; the dance halls, night clubs and other places of amusement remain open until 8 a.m. Long after this hour Negroes pour in and out of restaurants and lunch rooms. No matter how late or early the hour the settlement's principal thoroughfares. Seventh and Lenox Avenues and 135th Street have their throngs. The depression has hit Harlem particularly hard. The New York Urban League, 202 West 136th Street, has made several surveys on unemployment. It finds that 50 per cent of Negro families are wholly or partly unemployed. Policeman Shoots Man Who Tossed Stones A man who gave his name as Thomas Melvin was shot Saturday night at Fourteenth and Water streets by Policeman C. H. Guold. According to the officers he and his family were returning to the Floodgate Boat House when the man appeared and used abusive language, made threats and pelted the officer with stones. The policeman said he shot Melvin when the latter made a rush at him with a blunt instrument. Melvin was taken to Gallinger Hospital where he was suffering with a bullet wound in the leg. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932 Another Negro Railway Employee Brutally Slain By White Unemployed Macon, Ga.—(CNS)—The brutal murder of Edgar Scott, Negro brakeman, whose lifeless body with its head horribly battered in by a lead pipe was found in a loaded coal car here early last Sunday morning, served to call attention again to the continuous series of such assaults on Negro railway employees throughout the South since early this year. A concerted effort by white unemployed to intimidate and drive from employment Negro brakemen and firemen has been apparent for several months throughout Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina and other Southern States. Scott, the last of nearly a score of such employees to be assaulted and murdered, was last seen alive as the Southern Railroad car pulled out of Atlanta. TENN. DEMOGRATS WOULD EXCLUDE NEGROES AUG. 4 TENN. DEMOGRATS WOULD EXCLUDE NEGROES AUG. 4 Heavy Registration Of Negroes In Shelby County Cause Of Alarm Memphis—(CNS) Alarmed over the heavy registration of Negro voters in Memphis and Shelby County which totals one-third of the total registered and eligible to vote in the Democratic primary August 4, attempts are being made to bar the Negro voters from the polls by party edict of the State Democratic party. Not in years has the State been so stirred up as it was when the final registration figures reached the public. When it was definitely estimated that not only did the Negro registrations total one-third of the total, 92,282, for the city and county, but for the county averaged nearly 50 per cent of the total, 15,221, registered, it was too much and the State promptly began to do something about it. "It is a travesty upon law and decency to allow the votes of these Negroes to determine the result of a Democratic primary". Governor Malcolm Patterson said publicly. At the call of Governor Patterson, who is called the "white folks" candidate for reelection and therefore fears the effect of the "rising tide of black voters", a meeting of the State Democratic executive committee will sit as the Democratic primary election board and as the supreme law of the party in Tennessee, prevent the voting of Negroes in Shelby County by party edict. Fraudulent Votes Several hundred white voters, backed by friends of Governor Patterson have petitioned the primary board protesting against the voting of Negroes on August 4. They ask that the board hold fraudulent any votes cast by Negroes in a Democratic primary. Leaders of the party and friends of candidates who fear the potential Negro vote rode night and day to interview the members of the committee. They report that the majority of the committee are in agreement to let no Negro cast a ballot on August 4. The committee will rule that Negroes are known as Republicans and as such have no right to participate in the Democratic party primaries. The State primary law will be interpreted to give the committee this authority. The election board, according to Governor Patterson's friends, will regard the voting of any considerable number of Negroes in any precinct as a badge of fraud so indicative of illegality in the conduct of the primary election that upon canvas of the vote the returns from such precinct shall be thrown out. Meanwhile the Patterson forces here under the direction of one George Person, rejoice that Tennessee's Democratic party has at last recognized the "menace" of Negro votes in primaries, and are redoubling their efforts to gather evidence showing that many registrations were fraudulent. Workers with affadavits were getting sworn statements that many registrations were fictious or duplications. This evidence will be presented to the election board to strengthen the board's proposed stand to bar Negroes. Postal Petition Signed By Over 6,000 Women Six thousand, six hundred and eighty women members of the National Association of Colored Women, of which Mrs. Sallie Stewart is president, have signed the Postal Telegraph petition, inviting rulers of foreign countries to send their most illustrious women to the Century of Progress of Women (the International Women's Congress), which meets in Chicago, in 1933. The petition, sponsored by the Postal Telegraph, through the National Council of Women, Lena Madesin Phillips, white, president, is an advertising project. The council will receive $100,000 for these signatures. Twenty-thousand dollars will be used to defray the expenses of the foreign women visitors to the congress, meeting in Chicago next year. The National Association of Colored Women is a member of the National Council of Women.

Breaks Jaw In Fall Ruth Brown, 31, was in Freedmen's Hospital, Tuesday, suffering with a broken jaw as the result of a fall_down a flight of stairs at her home, 1121 Half street, south west. I HEARD (Continued from page 9) It was talked about this week that federal agents have become interested in Prather's activities. Some say that it was for this reason, that Bill was "scarce" last week. On the other hand it has been said that the "sucker howl"—because of another "switch" in the method used for arriving at the "number"—was responsible for the little boy's fade out. At any rate my advice to a first-rate racketeer is to "keep better company and stay out of the newspapers as much as possible." Annapolis, Md. So it comes; so it goes—gossip for high and low alike. A cosmopolitan press must appeal to masses and classes alike. The gossip columnist appeals to nobody. He's simply "tellin' ya." And so, say, "So long—and I hope you choke."

Rev. Anthony Luckett is pastor of the church. Rev. E. M. Tyree, pastor of the Rebohoth Baptist Church, delivered the sermon on the theme, "A Call for Service." Rev. Tyree said, "The minister's task is a trying one, but God is with us; we need His power to defeat the enemy." He urged the ministers to recognize their deficiency, measure their lives with God, and to assign themselves to His call. Rev. Augustus Lewis, president of the conference, presided at the session. Rev. K. W. Roy offered a prayer. A reading of the Scripture was made by Rev. J. P. Nichols, who will address the conference next week at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Two hymns, "What a Friend We Have In Jesus," and "Heaven Is My House" were led by Rev. B. H. Whiting, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church. The conference lifted an offering for the First Baptist Church. The meeting, Monday, will be featured by the election of officers for the coming year. Esther Players Of Mt. Zion M. E. Church Quite a vital and important factor in the life of Mt. Zion M. E. Church is the group of Esther Players, a dramatic guild under the direction of the versatile Mrs. Irene Broadnick. Mrs. Broadnick has successfully presented many plays in this and neighboring cities, and, as every spectator will testify, her ability increases with time. She has proved herself master of both the Biblical drama and light comedy. Her stage settings and character delineation far surpass the average. She is supported by a cast whose dramatic ability is outstanding. The season's work for the Esther Players culminated in the presentation of three plays. The Biblical drama, "Queen Esther," was presented at Mt. Zion M.E. Church, Rev. J. D. Brown, pastor, "Hagar and Ishmael" was given at Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor. Then changing to a play of lighter vein but no less promising, the players presented the comedy, "Lighthouse Nan" at Whatcoat M.E. Church, Baltimore, Md, Rev. Julius S. Carroll, pastor. Here again Mrs. Broadnick came to the forefront displaying her ability to change from the stately queen of Old Testament days to the role of a poor, country girl. One has only to see one of these plays in order to witness for himself this rare ability and to laugh, weep and learn. Sacred Musical Concert At Second Baptist Church A grand sacred concert was given Friday at the Second Baptist Church under the auspices of Mrs. Katie Williams and her Junior Christian Entertaining Club. Joseph H. Carter, Dunbar High senior, and pianist for the club, rendered "Abide With Me," a sacred transcription by James Freeman. His brother, Virgil Carter, played another sacred transcription, "Nearer My God To Thee," and another brother, Andrew Carter, rendered a violin solo, "Meditation," by C. S. Morrison. Other numbers on the program were: vocal solos by Mrs. Maggie Ricketts, Miss Farra Hill, Mrs. Hazel Lee, and Mrs. Henrietta Broner; recitations by Margaret Johnson, Grace Johnson, Thelma Chisley, David McCary, Elizabeth Brown, and Bessie Johnson. Tabernacle Baptist "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee." Titus 1:5. "Making the best out of a terrible mess," was the pastor's sermon on Sunday morning. Rev. Bradshaw instructed the congregation to tackle the problems of their environment and to make the best of it as Titus did upon the advice of Paul. After next Sunday the pastor will leave on his vacation. He plans to return to the pulpit on the fourth Sunday in August. But he has been successful in securing interesting speakers to officiate during his absence. The church has adopted the plan of welcoming its visitors on each Sunday morning through Mrs. Alma Cunningham, the chairman of the visitors' club. Mrs. Cunningham expressed the desire that each visitor should feel welcome at all times and that they should eventually become members of the church. The Young People's Club, under the direction of Miss Laura Diggs conducted interesting services Sunday afternoon. The speaker of the evening was Rev. E. A. Elms, of the People's Congregational Church. After the sermon the club rallied for the benefit of the building program. Galbraith A. M. E. Zion The topic, Sunday, was "What is Gambling? Why is it Wrong?" Prov. 13:5-11. Miss Amelia R. Harris conducted the program, opening with a season of song and prayer, after which she introduced Mrs. Clara Brooks, who spoke in part as follows: "Gambling is an agreement between two parties by which the transfer of something of value is made dependent on chance in such a way that the whole gain of the one is equal to the whole loss of the other. It is not right, because it is taking something for nothing. It stirs up strife and often leads to tragedy and murder. Its social effects are bad, for it often robs the family as well as the gambler. The church should be aware of this evil, for many of its schemes for raising money bear the ear marks of gambling." Others speaking on the topic were Wm. A. Thompson, Miss Grace Addison, Lawyer G. C. Scurlock, Rev. John Saunders, Perry J. Thompson, Charles H. Anderson, Philip Dines, and Rev. W. D. Speight, present pastor. Grandson Of Rev. Traverse Dies Here Very Suddenly Clarence D.

Society at 7 p.m. The midweek prayer service will be held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The subject being, "The Discouragement of Sin." The public is cordially invited to share these services. Junior Boys' Club Camp At Kinsale, Va. Twelve members of the Junior Boys' Club of Washington, D.C., are now spending their fifth week in camp at Kinsale, Va., which is located near the Potomac River and is about 125 miles from Washington. The camp is under the personal direction of Milton V. Rose, sponsor and teacher in charge of the club. The activities are scouting, wood craft, handicraft, instructions in first aid, nature lore, instructions in health and character training, fishing, swimming, camp fire programs, athletic badge tests, setting up exercises, instructions in cookery, night and morning individual hiking, garden work, and active games such as tennis, golf, horse shoe pitching, baseball, etc. Other interesting phases of the camp program are the periods in which special activities are participated in and conducted entirely by the boys, namely, music hour, library hour, Sunday morning religious services, Sunday evening twilight religious services, hobby hour, educational hour and devotional hour. During these periods the boys perform those activities which are most appropriate and worthwhile to present. The work of this nature has given a fine opportunity to show the superior ability of the boys in leadership and participation. Certificates and other honors will be awarded the boys who have done meritorious work in the various camp activities. The camp has been visited by many parents and friends of the boys. They are planning to hold special exercises for their parents, at which time they will tell of their camp activities, also at this time certificates and other honors will be awarded. These exercises will be held in Washington when they return home. Cleveland Co-ops Launch Big Educational Drive Cleveland, Ohio. On Sunday afternoon, July 17th., the first in a series of programs on Consumers' Co-operation was given by the Cleveland Council of the Young Negroes' Co-operative League. Mr. Russel Perell, a foremost civic worker of this city, as principal speaker, stated that the Negro is doomed to remain at the bottom of the economic ladder, unless he is willing to put forth some effort to save himself. Calling attention to the Negro Church, Mr. Perell declared, "Unless the church is able to aid the Negro in the solution of his economic, as well as his religious problems, it will have failed to serve its purpose." Other speakers on the program were Mr. S. Williams of the Liberty Co-operative Society who contended that the Negro should be the last group to seek to preserve the existing order; and Mr. Harold Johnson, chairman of the Cleveland Council of the Y. N. C. L. who challenged his hearers to devote half as much thought and energy to co-operative economics as was given to social activities, "and watch the results." Music was furnished by the Y. N. C. L. Choral Society, which promises to be one of the main features of future programs. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932 GROWING MENACE OF ANOTHER WORLD WAR IS EVIDENT Japanese, Soviet Union, Germany and France All Preparing When the foreign editor of the Scripps-Howard newspapers recently stated that Europe is in greater danger of war today than she has been since 1914, he was only echoing the opinion of almost every one in a position to know the facts. War not only threatens in Europe; it is "on" in the Far East where Japanese imperialism has slaughtered tens of thousands, laid waste cities, and conquered the vast province of Manchuria at the door of the Soviet Union. Here are some of the facts and factors which indicate the rapidly growing danger of war embracing the entire world: All the developments in Europe, including the recent setting up of the von Papen government in Germany, indicate the groping for a "military understanding" which would facilitate the initiation, with French help, of a still more open anti-Russian policy. "There is even Berlin talk," says the Whaley-Eaton Service, "of a Franco-German war against Russia, to be waged once the latter is engaged on her eastern fronts by Japan." Von Papen himself has expressed himself several times in favor of an agreement between Germany, France, and Poland against the Soviet Union. Last February, he said that such an agreement "must come about having regard to the fight against Bolshevism." The further military occupation of Manchuria by Japanese imperialism on the pretext of "suppressing banditry" with the massing of troops and armed White Russians on the borders of the Soviet Union is the primary indication of the increasing danger. The signs all point toward Japanese leading the assault of the capitalist powers union the Soviet Union. Important military coninion in Europe, as well as in Washington, agrees that Japan will attack the Soviets from Manchuria. The chauvinistic press of Japan is not only predicting but calling for the attack. Prenaring for Immediate War In her preparations for the attack, Japanese imperialism is already joined by certain French and British interests. At the same time, France arms her allies, Roumania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, on the western borders, to invade the Soviet Union from the west as soon as Japan begins the attack in the East. Arms are being moved in large quantities from Europe to the Japanese war front, and extensive air bases and forts are being built by the Japanese in Manchuria. In the month of May alone, France received orders from Japan for war material to the value of 24,000,000 francs. Between November and April, the British Board of Trade issued licenses to British firms to export 10,000,000 cartridges and many machine guns to Japan. At the same time, we find a greater acceptance of the notion that war may be the "solution" of the capitalist economic crisis. Writers for the press become more open in stating this doctrine. "Should the present economic stress be prolonged," says a writer in Current History, "a state of mind may evolve which regards war as a welcome relief." And General William Mitchell, writing in Liberty, says, "Many nations think that at this time a foreign war would do them a great deal more good than domestic insurrection and revolution brought on by political, social, and economic upheaval." And the confidential Whale-Eaton Service adds: "Many diplomats bluntly say that the situation (in Europe) can be cleaned up only by another war." The utter failure of all disarmament moves at the World Disarmament Conference, and the fact that the capitalist nations are spending more today than ever in history for preparations for slaughter, is another clear sign of the increasing danger. While the League of Nations turns down the concrete proposals for securing complete or even partial disarmament put forward by Litvinov of the Soviet Union, the capitalist powers continue to increase their naval and military budget from year to year, and maneuver for better positions in the armament race. Arms are shipped from France, England, and Czechoslovakia to Japan; while the U. S. sends shiploads of nitrates to Japan, all the so-called "machinery" of peace becomes more and more crippled. The League of Nations is nothing more than an instrument of war preparations designed to hide the plotting and bloc-making of the imperialist powers as they prepare for war among themselves for redivision of the imperialist spoils, or as they organize for joint assault on the Soviet Union.

How The Veterans' Claims May Be Paid Without Cost To The Government And Taxpayers And Without Issuing Any More Currency How The Veterans' Claims May Be Paid Without Cost To The Government And Taxpayers And Without Issuing Any More Currency Currency By SAMUEL BOTTOMLEY Payment of the Veterans' Adjustment Compensation Certificates was rejected, principally, by the Senate for the following two reasons: First, because of the strained financial condition of the Treasury. Second, because to issue $2,400,000,000 in additional currency would be to resort to unsound banking practice and result in an accumulation of excess currency reserves, a dead asset. In other words, payment of the veterans' claims was refused because our Government could not stand the costs at the time, and because to issue currency for the purpose was unsound finance. Since so much suffering and misery has been caused through failure of Congress to grant the Veterans' request, one is apt to visualize the contrast of events which naturally would have occurred had the Veterans' plea been granted. What a lot of trouble and expense could have been avoided had any one of the 530 Congressmen stood up on behalf of the "Bonus Army" and explained how the veterans' claims could be immediately paid in full without cost to the Government and taxpayers, and without issuing more currency. The probability is, of course, that had any one present been able to explain such procedure they would have done so. However, the claims have been rejected, and thus the misery and anguish of the suffering veterans indefinitely prolonged, all through the woeful lack of knowledge on a subject which it is the duty of every statesman to possess. It has been said that, "so vital is monetary knowledge to the peace and prosperity of the world that no man may consider himself fully qualified to be a leader of men who does not understand the subject of money." Arthur Brisbane, the noted editor, has frequently stated that "money is one of the things about which nobody knows anything, that it is like electricity, everyone uses it yet no one understands it." What Mr. Brisbane has said is only too sadly and virtually true, and all the more lamentably so at this time, especially as applied to those who have been foremost in advocating payment of the Adjusted Service Certificates. Had those men better understood the subject of money and banking the veterans' claims would have been paid long ago, and all the suffering and trouble the veterans and their dependents have undergone, since the trek of the B.E.F. to Washington began, would have been avoided. Indeed it is true that more trouble arises through lack of knowledge than from any other human source. There is, perhaps, after all, little reason why those who have had charge of the veterans' case before Congress should be condemned or severely criticized for their ignorance on the subject of money. The vast majority of persons, not only in the United States but in all the leading countries of the world, appear to believe that all money is composed of some visible, tangible substance of metal or paper. Such common belief is entirely wrong and fallacious. It is a fact that during normal times, in the United States, there are sixteen times more invisible, intangible money (commonly called bank deposits and resources) than exists in visible, tangible money. In other words, if we take all our paper money, and all our coins of less value than one dollar and add them together, we find that we have about five billion dollars, all told, in visible, tangible money—money that we can see and feel. While at the same time we have some eighty billion dollars in invisible, intangible money that we can neither see nor feel, except in so far as one sees and feels mere pen and ink figures, accounts as entered on the pages of bank legers. I will surprise many, no doubt, to learn that during nor- mal times we do not possess more than five cents in actual cash (paper and metal tokens) for every dollar of bank deposits and resources as recorded in the banks. Yet, during such times this simple five (5c) cents in cash, per bank deposit dollar, is amply sufficient tangible money (currency) for all business and individual needs—for pay rolls, for pocket cash, for manufacturers, merchants, storekeepers, etc. This condition prevails because the vast majority of business transactions are executed with cheques. During prosperous times twenty-four cities alone, in the United States, will effect business transactions to the enormous amount of fifteen billion dollars in a single week without having to use a single cent of cash, all this business being settled by cheques. It is for the reasons given why there is no need for any more paper money, currency, to be issued in order to pay the veterans' claims at this time. There is actually in existence more than enough currency to conduct the Nation's business, not only during its most prosperous times, but also to meet the demands of business were it to be increased many billions of dollars, and with the veterans' claims of today included twice over. Why any one should have insisted that more currency be issued ($2,400,000,000) with which to pay the veterans' claims can only be accounted for by the lack of monetary knowledge on the part of those pressing payments of the veterans' claims. To issue more currency at the present time for any purpose whatsoever, unless an emergency currency to temporarily fill the void caused by foolish hoarding, would be to issue more than the needs of business and the banks require, and would, therefore, constitute a flagrant waste of money, labor, paper and ink. Were more currency to be issued, it would almost immediately be consigned to cold storage as so much needless, surplus currency. The banks would have no use for it; they already possess sufficient for all national requirements. What the country really needs, and needs badly, is more bank deposit money, standing to the credit of the millions of moneyless veterans, and others, bank deposit money created by labor, not more currency created by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Currency and bank deposit money are not the same things. Paper and metal currency is something visible and tangible. Bank deposit money is invisible, intangible, and consists of the right of the depositor to use, either by cheque or currency, the amount of money (or credit) standing in his or her name as duly recorded in bank ledgers. Perhaps the most vital thing to know about money, especially at this time and in connection with the herein proposed method of paying the veterans' claims, is that Congress possesses the right to coin (create) money in any form or manner it may deem proper. Also that Congress is absolutely unrestricted in that right. In other words, Congress has as much right to create invisible, intangible bank deposit money as it has to create money out of paper and metals. Any kind of money, tangible or intangible, visible or invisible, which Congress authorizes becomes real United States money, provided it is created as full legal tender for all national purposes. The right of Congress to create and issue money was definitely settled by the United States Supreme Court in 1884 through the decision rendered in the case of Julliard vs. Greenman. Therefore, Congress may legitimately provide for immediate payment of the Veterans' Adjusted Service Certificates in the following manner, without borrowing or printing money for the purpose: (1) Congress to authorize money cheques to be issued to SEE THE SENSATIONAL USED CAR BARGAINS ON PAGE 16 BUY TODAY AND WHEN BUYING MENTION THE Washington Tribune "A 100% Washington Industry" THOMAS M. DENT ENDS CAREER IN GOV'T SERVICE THOMAS M. DENT ENDS CAREER IN GOV'T SERVICE (CNS)—Among the summarily dismissed by the Economy Bill, June 30, was Mr. Thomas M. Dent, well known throughout the country as "Professor" T. M. Dent. His retirement papers were made out for July 31, 1932, but he was only notified that his services would be dispensed with on June 30. Mr. Dent entered the Government service August, 1882, as a clerk in the Pension Office. He was dismissed during the Cleveland administration in 1887. For thirteen years he was engaged in school and civic work in Georgia and was one of the commissioners of the International and Cotton States Exposition held in Atlanta in 1895. Mr. Dent was a delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1896, and a member of the credentials committee in the convention that nominated McKinley. In 1900 he was an alternate delegate from the State at large. Mr. Dent was appointed in the Census Bureau in 1900 and became a part of the permanent force in 1902. In 1908 he was transferred to the Bureau of Statistics in the Treasury Department that afterwards became the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce under the Department of Commerce. He was put in charge of the merchandise remaining in bonded warehouses. In 1913 he was also given charge of the export and import of gold and silver and held these two responsible assignments until his retirement. Mr. Dent's duties required that he be informed and give information on all merchandise remaining in bonded warehouses to business firms, and to furnish information on the movement of gold and silver to banks, the Federal Reserve the veterans in full amount of their claims. (2) Congress to issue a mandate ordering the banks of the country to honor said cheques in one of the following ways: To either cash the cheques, allowing the veterans "free use" of the existing United States currency to the amount of their claims; or, to accept them on deposit as being legitimate, labor and service earned, bank deposit money. In the above manner the veterans' claims may be immediately paid in full without any cost whatsoever on the part of the Government and taxpayers, and without issuing more currency. ELEVEN Board and the United States Director of Mines. Every month a special statement is given to the public as to the merchandise exports and imports and as to the gold and silver in the United States.

Frank Warfield, Manager Of Pilots, Dies After Game TWELVE FAILURE TO HIT COSTLY TO PILOTS 4,000 See Pittsburgh Crawfords Beat Locals In First Night Game Inability to hit in the pinches paved the way for the Pittsburgh Crawfords to score a 5 to 1 victory over the Washington Pilots, Monday night, in Griffith Stadium in the first of a series of games played under Klieg lights. An estimated crowd of 4,000 fans of both races turned out to witness the first nocturnal game. It was also the first game played by the local team since the death of Manager Frank Warfield, who died suddenly in Pittsburgh, Sunday night. Webster McDonald, big right hand pitcher of the Pilots, acted as manager. The appointment is likely to be permanent. The local team wore black arm bands in honor of their former leader. McDonald Kayoed McDonald started on the mound for the Pilots, but was knocked as high as a cocked hat by the second inning when a bevy of five hits brought in three runs. Matlock, portsider, went to his rescue. Matlock held things pretty well in check with the exception of a bad seventh inning when two runs crossed the plate. "Rap" Dixon in this frame slammed out a homer with Page on the bags. Three times the Pilots had men on second and third, but lacked the necessary punch to send them home. Evans scored the lone Pilot run in the fourth after he had singled, went to second and third on infield outs, and scored when Hughes placed himself in a box between first and second. Friday (night) the Pilots will again meet the Crawfords in a night game, followed with a double-header on Saturday with the Homestead Grays in the afternoon, and a single game with the Grays on Sunday afternoon.

By "FLASH" ROBESON The Hillsdales continued their winning streak, bringing their string of victories up to eleven straight by virtue of their wins over the Huntsville A.C., Sunday, by the scores of 12-6 and 9-2. In the first game the 'Dales tried hard to present the Marylanders with the game, making four straight errors in the third inning to present the Huntsville lads with five runs and not a single ball was hit out of the infield. Bus Frazier, laboring under that handicap, completely had the lads from Maryland at his mercy and the 'Dales redeemed themselves by solving the offerings of Wild Bill Smart, for a two-run lead until the ninth, when the LeDroit Park lads put the game in the bag by scoring four more runs. Harry "Soup" Turner, out for the second time this season, played a remarkable game at short for the 'Dales. "Reds" Haywood played one of the best games of his career at first base, making several sensational catches of bad throws, saving several runs and constantly helped his infield to make fast plays on bad throws. Hamilton Good in Field Hamilton Good in Field "Runt" White, Ernest Johnson, "Effie" Williams, Robert Green and "Reds" Haywood had a good day at the bat for the 'Dales, while both "Bus" Frazier and "Smoke" Levi pitched gilt-edge ball. Russell Hamilton robbed the heavy hitters of the 'Dales of what looked like sure hits, and saved the 'Dales from scoring several more runs. Maynard on third base and R. Hawkins on first played good games afield for the Maryland lads. Robinson, the ace of the lads from Huntsville, had trouble pitching correctly from the mound, and by changing his style of delivery lost some of his cunningness; but still he had enough to baffle several of the 'Dales' heaviest hitters, "Sap" Bush caught creditable ball in both games. He relieved "Peck" Banks in the third inning of the second game, after catching the complete first game. Joe Walker played a fine game in center field. Fast fielding on several occasions held the batters to singles on what looked like sure extra base hits. This lad, very unassuming, quiet and a hard fighter at all times, has proved a great help to the 'Dales all season. Sox-DePriest Split The White Sox and DePriest divided a twin bill on the latters' diamond by the scores of 10-9 and 11-2. The first game was a thriller. The $ _{9} $ northeast lads fought an uphill battle, but-weren't strong enough to overcome the lead of the DePriestmen. Swann and Woods played the best game for the northeast boys. J. Barnes hammered a home run off J. Williams with one on. In the nightcap, E. Lewis had the DePriest lads completely at his mercy, pitching a brilliant game and allowing only two hits and making eleven whiff the air. The submarine delivery of this Virginia lad was a complete puzzle to the northeasterners, and the heavy hitters of the DePriest lads couldn't get the ball out of the infield. Giants Drop Two The Washington Giants lost two games on the Rajahs' grounds, losing the first to the Rajahs by the score, 14 to 6, and the second to the LeDroit Tigers, 8-6. Addison, for the Rajahs in the opener, pitched one of his best games, allowing the Giants only three hits in seven innings, and not allowing one Giant to dent the home plate, the Giants scored all of their markers off "Chick" Thomas, out for the first time this season. Thomas will prove a great addition to the Rajahs' staff and when he regains his control will make all of the teams hustle to defeat him. Addison had a perfect day at the bat, getting four hits out of four times at bat. G. Johnson batted well for the winners. Tigers Scared In the nightcap the Giants threw a scare in the ranks of the LeDroit Tigers, and if it hadn't been for a couple of bad breaks, the Giants would have twisted the Tiger's tail. Clint Brown was the star of the Giants' play, pitching remarkable ball and getting four HAITI'S ONE MAN TRACK TEAM IN ACTION HARVEY 1 FORMER FIGHTER DOES ODD JOBS New York—Joe Walcott, one time considered the greatest fighter in the world is now living a hand to mouth existence.

PILOT PLAYERS HONOR WARFIELD PILOT PLAYERS HONOR WARFIELD By ARTHUR CARTER GRIFFITH STADIUM—Among the 4,000 colored and white baseball fans who milled their way to this stadium Monday night to witness the inauguration of night baseball in the Capital were many members of the fair sex. An estimate of 1,500 ladies were among the spectators. The occasion was indeed a gala one, the only incident which casted a sad feeling over the field being the appearance of black arm bands on the uniforms of the Pilot players in respect to Frank Warfield, the late manager of the team, who died suddenly Sunday night in Pittsburgh. The portable lighting system brought here from New York especially for the three-game series of nocturnal games provided perfect vision for the players and spectators alike. Only on two occasions during the nine-inning contest did the lights seem to impair the players' ability to field the ball. Once in the third inning when a hard-hit grounder bounced pass the visiting second baseman, and again in the sixth frame when a Texas leaguer to right center got away from Johnson, Pilots' outgardener, the blow going for a triple. Two huge machines with a network of cables generated the necessary electricity right on the field. Only four of the regular park lights were used to augment the portable illumination, these being in the dark left field corner of the stadium. The consistent hum-drum of the generating machines and the yells of the peanut and soda boys reminded one of the circus grounds. "Bluebird" McDonald, ace of the Washington hurling staff, was appointed temporary manager just prior to game time. McDonald will undoubtedly be given the permanent position. McDonald started on the hill for the Pilots but was hit rather hard. After granting five hits and a trio of tallies, he was relieved by the Pilots' southpaw ace, Matlock, in the second. Matlock twirled brilliant ball until he weakened in the eighth. Bell, the Crawford pitcher, kept the Pilots at bay. Evans, the speedy centerfielder for the local aggregation, besides providing several sensational fielding gems, crossed the pan with the lone tally in the fourth. The flashy flychaser singled to right, went to third when Radclique missed Bell's pick, the ball rolling to the backs. p. Hughes walked and attempted to steal second while four Crawford players were trying to catch him between the paths, Evans stole home. Dunn, the Pilot shortstop, made a sensational stop and throw of Bell's terrific grounder in the fourth to catch Russell at the plate. "Rap" Dixon poled a home run to the centerfield corner in the seventh. The flight of the ball was clearly visible all the way. "Mule" Suttles, the swatman for the Pilots, was apparently the only player who suffered from the effects of the lights. Twice the "Mule" came to bat with two of his teammates on the runway on both occasions he failed to "kick." In the second the "Mule" was caught sleeping on first (or maybe he was just napping); anyway Matlock threw to him in an attempt to catch Bell off the sack. Suttles missed the toss and the ball rolled to the stands before it was retrieved, Bell taking second. "Mule" was robbed of a hit which might have gone for a homer in the seventh when the Crawford centerfield backed against the flagpole to take his drive. Hampton, the Pilot slugger, who led the league in batting for four successive weeks, also appeared off. The big catcher failed to connect safely.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL TOSSIN' EM ACROSS W Frank Warfield in a characteristic pose as he tossed a runner out at first. PLAYGROUNDS SET FOR TRACK MEET Fifty-two directors and one supervisor are employed on the nine municipal and fourteen school playgrounds of the District of Columbia. Three municipal and seven school playgrounds are located in the northwest section of the city, while the other six municipal and seven school grounds are distributed through the thickly-populated areas of the southeast, southwest and northeast. During the absence of Supervisor John Young, who is attending summer school at Columbia University, New York City, the activities on the playgrounds are being directet by T. J. Anderson, of Howard University, who formerly filled this position. Mr. Anderson is leaving at the end of the week to attend the Olympic games in Los Angeles. The major project of all the playgrounds for the current year is the local Olympic games sponsored as part of the Washington Bicentennial celebration. The track and field sports for girls will be held at Walker Stadium, August 18; for boys on August 24. Altogether 1,000 athletes are expected to compete in the final events. 'One of the features of the local Olympic meet is that all contestants will be more or less novices. High school lettermen and athletes over 18 years are barred from competition. Competitors will be divided into five classes distributed according to weight. Rivalry between the different playgrounds is keen due to local elimination contests on each playground which is now in progress and to the several dual meets and the conference meet to be held in August. These meets are preliminary to the Olympic games which will pit only the best representatives from each playground against each other. The playground directors are: Barry Farms, F. Matthews, L. Jackson, V. Kenney, Cardozo, L. La Brent, M. Jones, Howard, D. Pierce, P. Howard, M. Chambers; Lincoln, H. Capers, E. Underdowne, J. Williams; Logan, M. Dickerson, R. Netherlands, M.

Williams, West and Clarence are pitching masterful ball Death Comes Suddenly To Manager After Game In Pittsburgh By GARLAND MACKEY BALTIMORE, Md.-The baseball world paid homage to a fallen leader here Wednesday when players from the East-West League bowed in silent tribute to Frank Warfield, manager of the Washington, Pilots whose funeral was held at Holland Funeral Parlors, Druid Hill avenue and Wilson street. The Washington manager died suddenly in Pittsburgh, Sunday night as he was about to leave for Washington to play a series there with the Pittsburgh Crawfords. Death was due to an internal hemorrhage and was instantaneous. He had just left the playing field at Greenlee Stadium and was dressing at Bailey's Hotel when his team mates became concerned over his long delay in coming down stairs. When they went to his room he had collapsed. Medical aid, was summoned but he was pronounced dead. A short funeral service was held Wednesday evening and the body was shipped to his home at Indianapolis where he was born and where his father, Richard Warfield, resides. The service in Baltimore was conducted by the Father Devenus, of St. Catherine Episcopal Church. The entire Washington team, headed by John Dykes, owner, was present. Beside the Pilots the Pittsburgh Crawfords, who have been playing in Washington this week, were also present. There were representatives from the New York Black Yankees and other East-West clubs. The Baltimore Black Sox team, which Warfield managed before coming to Washington last spring, was also present. Crowds packed the funeral parlor and others lined in front of the building and on the sidewalks. Began Career at 16 Began Career at Warfield was born in Indianapolis in 1898, and began his baseball career at the age of 16 with the St. Louis, Mo., Giants. He has played with the Indainapolis A.B. C's under C. I. Taylor, with the Detroit Stars under Bruce Petway; he captained and played with the Hildale club for six years, and for three years he played and managed the Baltimore Black Sox. He was one of the founders and organizers of the Washington Pilots and was managing from the bench at the time of his death. During the winter Warfield played in the Cuban Winter League and at one time managed the Santa Clara club, a pennant winner by one of the widest margins in the history of the league. The Washington mentor was a brainy ball player, a fast man on the bases, an adept base runner, and was considered one of the best fielders in the country. One season with Hildale he played through an entire season of 68 games without making an error. A clean sportsman and a believer in fair play, Warfield was well liked by his players and thousands of fans in the East and West. Besides his father he is survived by an aunt, who lives at Homestead, Pa.; and an uncle, Charles Baker, of Evansville, Ind. At the time of his death he was apparently in good health, but he caught a cold in the early part of the season which gave him considerable trouble. He had been complaining lately of not feeling well, but his closest friends did not think his illness was serious, as he never left the field during last week's games. Early in the season he relinquished his post at second base and guided the team from the bench. His position was played by Hughes, formerly of the New Orleans Black Pelicans, who handled the base to the satisfaction of the owners and manager. Webster McDonald, Pilot pitcher; "Eggie" Eggleston, catcher; and Ben Taylor, former manager of the Baltimore Black Sox and Washington Potomacs, are being mentioned in connection with the management of the Washington club.

Ineffective mound work and miscues played an important part in the defeat of Mentor Young's cohorts. After playing shut-out baseball or eight innings the Post lads, behind their ace of aces, Lefty Washington, succumbed to a last minute uprising, finally losing by an 1-10 score. The Aces behind their imitative leader, Bull Harris, had caught valiantly for eight innings with little or no result; but living up to the position and qualifications, which their name represents, laged that spectacular comeback and strengthened the moral of the age-old adage, "A game is never on until the last man has been out out." Stick honors for the winners were divided among Cooper, Arthur Jackson, and Harris, each of whom garnered two safeties in our trips to the plate. Likewise Garold Randolph and Don Webb sheld the banners of Walker Post, he former getting a round-trip out and single in five attempts, while the latter punched out a double and single in four tries. Came the dawn of Wednesday and defeat for the Marion A. C., he the hands of the Legion nine, 3 to 6. Wilbur Goodwin, before stirring to the "crying-room" because of a cut finger, set down the warriorions in rapid fire order while aiding to win his own game with a triple and one baser to pile a healthy lead for his successor, arl (Caroline) Fearing. Little Ned Williams, playing his initial game of the season with the host gladiators batted out three仕y one baggers in five trips to be counting block and contributing two of his patented runningatches afield. Mickey Stripling, however, was the real batting star if the day; a single double, triple, and four-base clout rang from the aton of the versatile backstopper. Lose to Ajax Beneath overcast skies the youngmen tasted bitter defeat once there at the hands of the fast Ajax W.C., by an overwhelming 10-5 core. The Deanwood sluggers were beyond the control of the brief Fearing, and the result was disastrous. Fourteen solid hits rang from the bats of the Greek-named lads, Anderson leading the inslaught enjoyed a perfect day at the batting tee with four one-baskets to his credit. Tignor, Rudly Stripling and Webb bore the brunt of the Post stick work with two bingles in two trips to the plate for the first named and two safeties to the credit of the latter two in three tries. Less than nineteen hours later, in the woods of Falls Church, Va., the Legion nine faced a brother Legion nine in two games, failing in the opener, 11-6, and once again enjoying sweet victory in the night cap. 5-2. Meet Post 109 For the second time during the week, the offerings of their ace slabman were smacked solidly, this time by the veterans of Post 109. Seventeen safeties were all the boys from Tinners Hill and vicinity could garner in nine complete frames. Midgrey Powell's sparkling work in center field all but captivated the citizens of Falls Church, especially those of the opposite sex. With a promise of fried chicken, potato salad, pig feet and "what have you," the American Legion representatives from D.C., behind Alfred Smart, came to life and batted out eight safeties to turn in a 5 to 2 win in five innings. Ralph Tignor, all-round athlete of Teachers' College, was the visitors' baton star of the day, getting a total of five binges in seven tries. Smart surprised everyone, including himself, when he allowed the Virginia lads with one measely single, allowing only two men to gest pass third bass, striking out eight batters during the course of the brief contest. His pal and colleague, Nat Randolph, held up beautifully behind the bat and at the bat. Clifton Audrick saw fit to stumble over a concealed stump in right field and was nearly knocked unconscious by the impact. **WALKER POST** | **MARION** | | :--- | :--- | | ah hre | ah hre | Williams.lf. | 5 2 2 0 Fields.2b. | 4 1 0 | Rarison.lf. | 5 2 2 0 Cyrus.2b. | 4 1 0 | Rarison.lf. | 5 2 2 0 Cyrus.2b. | 4 1 0 | E.Strilling.g. | 5 4 3 Cain.1b. | 1 1 1 | E.Strilling.g. | 5 4 3 Cain.1b. | 1 1 1 | Rudrick.cf. | 5 1 0 H.Contce.2b. | 1 1 0 | Rudrick.cf. | 5 1 0 Jackson.1f. | 1 1 0 | Webb.lf. | 5 1 0 Jackson.1f. | 1 1 0 | Estrilling.g. | 2 1 1 Carrel.1b. | 1 0 1 | Good win.p. | 3 1 1 Tyler.p. | 2 0 0 | Fearing.p. | 3 1 1 H.Kyles.p. | 0 0 1 | Totals. 34 14 15 % Totals. 25 5 6 5 Walker Fort. 4 2 0 4 0 3 4 6 Margon A.

CUBANS DEFEAT STARS 3 GAMES Islanders Have Won 30 Out Of 34 Games Since June 19 OMAHA, Neb.—The Cuban Stars took three straight games from Donaldson's Stars to win the fourgame series and gives the former 7 out of 8 wins for the week. Since breaking even with the Homestead Grays in a double header at Detroit on June 19, the Islanders have won 30 out of 34 games played. In the series with Donaldson's Stars, Echegoyen, third sacker of the Cubans, created a little excitement when he drove one of the longest home runs at the Omaha League Park, the ball clearing the centre field fence by several feet. The Cubans are entered in the twelfth annual Southwestern Iowa Baseball Tournament which opens August 25. Other clubs entered are the Gilkerson's Giants, Kansas City Monarchs, Sioux Falls Canaries, Sioux City Stock Yards, Alexander's Original House of Davids, etc. The Cubans play the Stock Yard at Sioux City, Friday night; and Canaries at Sioux Falls on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

How long should a woman remain true to a man after that man has gone out of her life? "The Man From Yesterday" answers this in the story of a woman whose body ached for the man she loved, but went back to the man who loved her. Clive Brook as an army officer on leave from the front, sweeps Claudette Cilbert in to marriage just one hour before he is due to report for service again. They have scarcely time to seal their wedding vows with a kiss. Brook is shell-shocked in action, and, incorrectly, reported dead. It is years later, when Brook, a broken man, and Miss Colbert now really in love with another man, meet. The wife must make her choice between her new happiness and her outworn duty. Others in the cast are Charles Boyer, Andy Devine and Yola D'Avrill. Bitten By Stray Dog Bitten by a stray dog while playing near his home, in Fairmont Heights, Md., George W.

But more than this, it contains air scenes which for sheer spectacularity are unsurpassed, except perhaps for those historic earl climaxes in "Hell's Angels." Once again, the aeronautical genius of Howard Hughes has been translated into celluloid, this time with a brilliant comedy flavor, which makes "Sky Devils" more interesting to many movie-goers than "Hell's Angels." "Sky Devils" was directed by Edward Sutherland, and the cast is headed by Spencer Tracy, William Boyd and George Cooper. Others who have prominent roles includes Ann Dvorak, Yola D'Avril and Billy Bevan.

From you then folks, And the beer saloons where lunch was always free, But when Congress cuts the pay- roll at good old Howard, Dear Brother, that was murder in in the first degree. DID YOU KNOW THAT—if a workman sleeps, his job is gone? if a tiger sleeps his hide is gone? the face is the index of the mind? a scalded cat fears even cold water? from the hand to the mouth soup is often lost? laughing is no proof of an easy min? a man with a sour face should not open shop? you should keep council of yourself first? from saving comes having? women laugh when they can and weep when they will? That reminds me that storm and strife is weeping now so I'll be seeing you. So long, Brother. TENNESSEE LILY WHITES WITHDRAW Memphis—(CNS) .Jh lily white contestants for places upon the Republican State Committee withdrew the names of their four candidates Friday leaving the way clear for the members of the regular organization to complete the naming of the State executive committee from its membership. No reason was given for this withdrawal by the lily whites headed by Mrs. C. Arthur Bruce, save that they felt they could not get a square deal under the present conditions. It was intimated that they would try other methods of breaking the hold of the "black and tan" organization in Tennessee. While the candidates for the executive committee representing the Church faction have not been named it is generally understood that R. R. Church, Memphis leader, and Mrs. Arthur Brodie, national committeewoman will be members of the committee, with other posts allotted to either C. H. King, present State committeeman, or Joe Marks, chairman of the Shelby County executive committee. 32-Year Old Soldier Stabbed By Unknown Said to have been stabbed by an unknown assailant, William Shubert, 32-year-old soldier, was in Freedman's Hospital, Tuesday, in a serious condition.

THE THREE GOBS ON LINCOLN STAGE Never before in the history of U street has such a fast moving act been brought to the Washington public. The Three Gobs comes direct from a sensational run in the Capitol Theatre, New York City, where it is said they stopped the show completely, after having received eleven encores. This particular act is slated for P.K.O. Circuit for a thirty-three-week engagement to begin directly after filling their engagement in the Nation's Capital. GEORGE S. SCHUYLER ADDRESSES D. C. COMMUNITY MEETING With George S. Schuyler, well-known lecturer, journalist and author, as the guest speaker, the local unit of the Young Negroes' Co-operative League sponsored a Community Meeting here Friday evening, July 22, at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. To a representative and appreciative audience, Schuyler declared that the most unique feature about Consumers' Co-operation was that it could be applied with equal force to both the immediate and the remote economic problems of any given community. He urged upon his hearers to give some thought to the virtue of organizing themselves into buying clubs. "Which," he said, "would mean that there would be a profit (the difference between the wholesale cost and the retail price) on the money that must be spent for daily necessities, which profit, in turn can be used for starting larger and more impressive enterprises. But more important, still," he concluded, "such a community project will be convincing proof that mutual self-help can save the Negro." Thieves Steal Swimming Instructor's Billfold The fact that he didn't leave any money in his billfold probably saved Harvey Riley, 1776 Willard street, northwest, swimming instructor at Dunbar-Community Center pool, his money, Monday, when thieves stole his billfold from the locker room at the above school. A driving permit, registration card and some other papers were the only articles in the folder, Mr. Riley told police. "THE MURDERS OF A MAD MAN" "THE MURDERS OF A MAD MAN" Presenting a most extraordinary character, a type new to the talking screen, a combination of genius and maniac, master musician and demented demon, suave, smooth and silken, dangerous only to those he loved, the Fox spine chilling dramatic thriller, "The Murders of a Madman," opens Monday at the Republic Theatre with Violet Heming, Ralph Bellamy and Alexander Kirkland in the leading roles. A mad pianist who startles the nights of Paris with the weird and eerie promptings of his disordered mind, a lover, caressing, fondling with his writhing, twitching hands fighting to throw the mania off—fighting against his baser self—struggling against the passionate desire to kill those he loves, he is the type of character who elicits sympathy and at the same time engenders hatred. Human and believable in both situations and characters, devoid of tricks or plot manipulations, the new film deals with the inner struggle of emotions, as well as with the outer one of situations. For its colorful background it takes the gay continental cities of Paris, London and St. Petersburg, Russia, and its weirdness is intensified by the strange, emotion stirring music that runs through the film. In addition to Miss Heming, the popular Broadway stage star who makes her debut in the picture at Bellamy and Kirkland who were last seen in the Fox production, "Surrender," the cast also includes Allan Dinehart, Eva Dennison, Grace Hampton, Herbert Bunston, Maria Alba, Herbert Mundin and Mary Gordon. William Cameron Menzies directed the production. COLORED CITIZENS OF RICHMOND HONOR LOYAL FRIEND Richmond, Va.—(CNS)—Colored citizens here last Sunday held a testimonial program to Miss Lucy Mason, prominent white social worker, whose work among colored people here has won her countless friends. Miss Mason is scheduled to leave Richmond soon to begin her work in another field. Her activity in interracial relations and in championing the cause of the underprivileged classes, black and white, was praised at the meeting in her honor. Stress was laid on her active aid to Negro social service and civic programs and her championship of Negro civil rights. The committee in charge of the testimonial meeting included Dean George B. Hancock of Union University, Mrs. Maggis L. Walker, Mrs. Clarissa V. Dillard, Mrs. M. V. Binga, Mrs. Alice, H. Harris, Mrs. Bessie F. Pryor, Mrs. J. R. Mayne and Wiley A. Hall. Every husband and wife need a vacation from each other once in a while. This tradition has passed down from generation to generation—but too often it ends in hostilities. To the Patrons and Friends of The Republic Theatre . . . Arrangements have been completed whereby the REPUBLIC THEATRE has been leased to the LICHTMAN THEATRES which company will continue operation of the Republic Theatre together with its operation of the Lincoln Theatre and Booker T.

Negro Vice-Presidential Candidate Sounds Keynote Of Communist Campaign New York.—(CNS)—James W. Ford, son of an Alabama coal miner, took the stump here last week at the Coney Island stadium in his contest for the vice-presidency of the United States on the Communist ticket. For ten minutes some two hundred of his followers cheered the plump-faced speaker, when he declared that they through struggle led by the Communist party, can the Negro people win their freedom." Ford's address was followed by those of several other of his fellow candidates for public office in the November elections. Ford plans to take the public platform in espousal of the Communist party for the next four months. Only a few of those who cheered him a lustily were Negroes.

Tolan is a good starter as well as ‘® great runner. Metealf is a fair starter, but a powerful driver who Uterally byrne up the track. But on the er the Olympic 100-meter race Metcalf will need a good start and all of the power of is drive, for Tolan is known to be able to train for one “great” race during season. In that race—in the past—Tolan has been unbeat- able. He has taken Simpson, Wil- lane, of Canad, and all of the inting ¢hamps on “his day.” He has run fin and out! during the season, but on that day “Swish!” I don’t think Metcalf’s powerful drive will catch Tolan that day— not unless he is fends, to run those 100 meters in about 10.2 seconds, On the other hand I don't he- lieve there will be a man in the world who will be able to lick Met- calf in the Olympie 200-meter race unlogs this athlete takes a nose- dive at the start, The power of “his drive after the first 100 meters will buyn the heart out of the pres- ant erop of “hash man.” Again, I feel that he will have only Tolan to fear, because this fine runner will also uncork some “speed” that day, Tolan will try to td into a je ond tava! at tueh sorecord- ing clip that it will, be. im- possible for Metealf’s “dvive” to overtake him. However, if these fro arg on fighting terms after the first 100 meters, the race belongs to Metcalf. I hardly think’ that any of the foreign runners will upset the dope in the sprints.

IXTEEN ORD ANSWERS THOMAS ON BLACK BELT CONDITIONS Fice-President of Communist Answers Socialist Presidential Candidate The official Socialist party organ or July 23 once again carried a danderous editorial, this time signed by Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, in which he attacks in the usual "socialist" language James W. Ford, the Communist candidate for Vice-president, misrepresenting the entire issue, of the Black Belt. James W. Ford replied from "pennsylvania, where he is campaigning at present, that when Mr. Thomas denies the right of the Negroes to govern themselves in the Black Belt, he ushers forth living figures when he states that in one or at most two States, Negroes are in a slight majority," therefore they have no right to self-government. These are whiteuling-class figures and have nothing to do with the Black Belt. The stretch of land commonly known is the Black Belt, where the greatural Negro masses are concentrated, is an area stretching through eleven States from eastern North Carolina and Virginia, through South Carolina, and the central parts of Georgia and Alabama, into Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, touching the coastal regions of Texas, as well as the small sections of the southern end of Arkansas, and the southwestern part of Tennessee. In this belt, which runs through these eleven southern States, there are 397 counties forming a continuous area in which the Negroes are a majority of the total population." "The Negro share-croppers and tenant-farmers," said James W. Ford, "are lynched, legally lynched, robbed, and held in bondage every day of the year by the small group of white land owners. This stretch of land is the monopoly of this small clique of white land-ords, and is ruled by those land-ords and capitalists. I was born in the heart of the Black Belt in Alabama. I know that conditions down there are even worse than in the days of slavery. When we talk of self-determination for the Black Belt, we mean the right of the Negro people, the majority of the population to govern themselves in that section. The Socialist Party, as well as the Republican and Democratic parties, are opposed to this." "Furthermore," continued the Communist candidate for Vice-President, "the Socialist party has repeatedly cried 'lynch,' 'riot,' even before the ruling class commenced to lynch and club. Mr. Thomas does this once more in his latest editorial. Let me repeat what I said before in my interview on the Socialist party and Norman Thomas, to which they reply in true lynch language. I said, and say now, when Mr. Thomas condemns the right of the Negro masses to govern themselves in the Black Belt, and cries 'lynch,' 'riot,' as a supposed-to-be warning, he actually incites and justifies riots and lynchings of the Negro masses in the South. If you have watched closely the 'socialist' technique against the masses, you will find that the first ones to talk 'riots' and 'lynchings' are the socialists. They do it even before the ruling class commences their campaign of terrorism. In this way, the socialists pave the way for riots and massacres, and then, of course, blame the militant masses. In the Scottboro case, we find the capitalist press quoting Mr. Thomas and the Socialist Party in justification of their campaign against the boys who are in the shadow of the electric chair. When the sharecroppers of Camp Hill, Alabama, rebelled last summer against their miserable conditions, the capitalist press and Chambers of Commerce justified their murder of the Negro leaders in that strike by quoting the socialists." THANKS Editor, Tribune:— I am sending herewith a report of a special meeting of the board of directors of the Post Office Relief Association, No. 1, of the District of Columbia, held at my residence this morning (July 22, 1932), at which time a resolution was adopted unanimously reaffirming confidence in the Prudential Bank, and also instructing its treasurer to continue depositing the funds of the Association in the bank. Permit me to say also that your paper came in for rounds of praise for the position it took during, and has taken since, the crisis at the bank. The board of directors of the above Association instructed me to request you to publish its report in your next edition. Two Physicians Issued Licenses To Practice Here Among the twenty-seven doctors who passed the District Medical examination, according to an announcement by Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, Wednesday, were Doctors Arthur Callis and Peter Douglass Johnson. The two physicians will be issued their licenses to practice in the District within a few days. Local Minister Injured In Nashville Auto Mishap Rev, Robert W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Congregational Temple, was almost seriously injured in an automobile accident in Nashville, Tenn, last Tuesday. The minister was driving through Nashville while enroute to Memphis, Tenn. to visit his sick father, W. S. Brooks when his car was struck by a machine driven by a white woman. The woman's machine was damaged considerably while damage to Rev. Brook's car totaled about $70. The machine was damaged so badly that Rev. Brooks was forced to leave it in Nashville for repairs and go to Memphis by train. Albert DeMond was a passenger in the machine with Rev. Brooks at the time of the accident but escaped injury. The party returned to the city Wednesday. AN HONEST MAN The B. E. F. News (Joseph L. Hefferson edition) of Saturday carries this little squab: "One of our amateur colored newspaper salesmen, after disposing of his fifty papers, called at the circulation department to pay his bill. "He put $2.55 on the counter. The clerk kept $1.50 for the papers and returned $1.05. The newsy handed the nickel back and said some man had contributed the nickel. Needless to say, the honest news merchant was allowed to keep the nickel. So maybe old Diogenes would do well to bring his lantern to the B. E. F." "Weak Knee" Wells Hurt In Automobile Accident Injured in an automobile accident near Soldiers' Home early Monday morning, Harry "Weak Knees" Wells, was in a serious condition at Freedmen's Hospital, Tuesday. Hospital authorities say he will recover, however, The well-known man about town sustained concussions and a possible fracture of the skull.

West, Jr. died at his summer home in Culpeper, Pa., last Wednesday. Funeral services were held from the Antioch Baptist Church in Culpeper, Sunday. Mr. West had gone to Culpeper, his native home, to recuperate from a recent illness which overtook him at his local home, 1246 Columbia road, northwest. He was well known in Washington and New York. Surviving Mr. West are his widow, Mrs. Alice I. West; his father, W. W. West; a step-son, Arthur West; a sister, Mrs. Ruth Marshall, of Culpeper; and four brothers, B. B.

Henry, of Philadelphia, are to visit Atlantic City, Sunday, to investigate arrangements made to take care of the Elks' grand lodge to be held there in August. Political Club Studies Coming Campaign Issues The National Political Study Club held an interesting meeting, Sunday, at 1439 T street, northwest. Round table discussions concerning the campaign issues were participated in by Mrs. Grace Bent, Mrs. Alethia Johnson, Mrs. Julia McKay, Mrs. Kate Goodloe, Mrs. Pauline Drake, and Miss Jeanette Carter. The club will meet Sunday at 5 p.m., at the same address. The public is invited. Howard University. Current gossip reports that Bertha Brandon is somewhat troubled mentally. It's a tough break for the poor kid, but what could one expect? A full course in the "F Street Madhouse," with graduate work in the financial maze of "U Street's Temple," is quite sufficient to lead stronger minds than Bertha's to "Bedlam." Since writing the above, I just heard that Doris has been married for about six weeks, having married a chauffeur in June—to the disgust of certain interested parties. This line of gossip credits the interested parties with trying to get the alleged marriage annulled—which can't be done, they say, since Doris is 2.. I don't believe it. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932 SEE ONE OF THESE DEALERS TODAY USED CARS THE BEST BUYS IN WASHINGTON TO HOLD TENNIS PLAY AUGUST 22 Four New Courts Are Under Construction At Va. State Petersburg, Va.—Preparation for the entertainment of the Southeastern Tennis Tournament, which will be held at Virginia State College, August 22 to 27 inclusive, are speedily moving toward completion. Four new up to date tennis courts are in process of construction in order to accommodate more fully this popular event which has been growing more and more in popularity in recent years. These new courts, added to those which have been used in the past, will insure the rapid progress of the tournament from the preliminaries to the final events. They represent a marked improvement in the facilities, ample playing space for participants and seating capacity for spectators being provided. From all indications the attendance will be greater this year than ever before. Tennis stars of national fame, both defending champions and challenging aspirants, will participate in the events. Rain prevented the completion of last year's tournament so that scores of two year's standing will be settled in August.

A Few Smiles Mrs. Jones—Is my husband improving in golf? Caddy—Well. I should say so. When he started, he used to say "Oh gosh" when he missed, now he can cuss like a man. Keen Reasoning "Do you know anything about Mars?" asked the professor of a student. "Yes," was the reply. "It is inhabited by a race of highly industrious people." "Indeed? And may I ask you why you think so." "Because otherwise it would be impossible for them to build canals as fast as some of our astronomers discover them!" "Of course you believe in evoumion?" "Yes; my own recollections of early days in the West remind me that many a 90 horsepower car can trace its financial ancestry back to a 'prairie schooner'." Even the brain of a dipsomani begins to function at the sight of helplessness. I once knew one who abused his children and man-handed his wife in a manner that should have been told to a judge. And he, too, was responsive to the pity-mania. In that, he practically supported an eighty-year-old widow and her nine-year-old grandson. Showing His Qualities Boss—I'm going to promote you to be office manager. Jones—Thank you, sir—this is quite unexpected. Boss—I have been watching your work closely.

ADMISSION 35 CENTS Same Old Matinee Gang TWO 23-YEAR-OLD MAN ACCUSED OF RAPE BY MOTHER OF 5 Woman Says Man Threatened To Kill Her If She Repulsed Him Charged with criminally assaulting a woman, Richard James, 28 years old, of 615 Q street, northwest, was held under $5,000 bond for the grand jury when arraigned before Judge Isaac Hitt, in Police Court, Monday morning. The complaining witness, a 37-year-old bespectacled woman, who is the mother of five children, and whose name the Tribune is withholding because of the possible damage of her good name, took the stand in court, Monday, and described the attack. She testified that the man approached her about 11:30 last Thursday night on Tenth street near T street, northwest, and ordered her to give him her money. She turned over $1.50 to him. He then grabbed her by the arm and carried her to a nearby alley, she testified. He ordered her to pull off some of her clothes, she said. He threatened to kill her if she refused, she declared. After he is alleged to have committed the crime, he fled from the scene. The woman was treated at Freedman's Hospital. She reported the incident to Second Precinct police and later identified Jones as her attacker. Officer C. N. Strange, of the Second Precinct, arrested the man. BRICKLAYERS (Continued from page 14) for the jobs. In view of the fact that they were in great need of work the men agreed to take the jobs for "whatever they could get." With this understanding they submitted their proposal to the Union through Mr. Plumber for its approval. The report stated that the Union officials agreed to the arrangements and granted authority to cut the wages but informed the men "keep quiet about it." With this understanding six bricklayers with Saunders as their foreman took the job at a salary rate of 50 cents per hour with the foreman receiving $5 per day. The agreement also provided that this amount was to be raised or lowered according to developments and that extra men would be taken on at the same rate if necessary. Under these informal agreements, Mitchell and Cornell, secured Union permits and started to work on the job on July 8. Mitchell labored continuously until July 25 when he was said to have been laid off because of some minor dispute with Saunders, the foreman. Cornell who was only hired intermittently as the second "extra man" worked about ten days. In view of the fact that this job does not come under the jurisdiction of the Prevailing Wage Law which provides that the salary of all bricklayers on jobs in the District shall be $13 a day, it is not known whether or not any action will be taken by the Labor Department. However, Commissioner Phillips is still conferring with officers of the contracting company and Union officials in an effort to have the matter adjusted. T. Moore, superintendent of the Baken and Wright Company, informed Mr. Phillips that he was of the opinion that the prevailing wage law should be maintained at all times but he could not take responsibility for acts of sub-contractors. He also said he would cooperate in any steps taken by the Labor Department. If you are a weak, sickly, haggard woman, you haven't got a chance to win at love. Men don't like sickly women.

MAN AND WIFE SUE SCHOOL BOARD FOR SCHOOL JOBS MAN AND WIFE SUE SCHOOL BOARD FOR SCHOOL JOBS Stanford, Ky.—(CNS) — W. D. Tardiff and Susie E. Tardiff, his wife have instituted mandamus proceedings in the Lincoln Circuit Court, to compel the Lincoln County Board of Education to employ them as teachers in the Stanford Consolidated Negro Schools. The Board of Education, at a meeting held in May, attempted to employ two other teachers in the positions sought by the Tardiffs. It is alleged that at this meeting the board refused to fill a vacancy in the trusteeship of that school and attempted to employ teachers without the recommendation of any trustee. Three trustees were elected under the new law on the first Saturday in July, and they requested the Board of Education to appoint the Tardiffs as teachers of this school, which the board declined to do. The trustees who recommended the Tardiffs were elected in the recent school election with approximately a 4 to 1 majority over their opponents. Tardiff has served as principal of the Negro school for nearly twenty-five years. The case is set for an early hearing. ARRESTED FOR MURDER AFTER 24 YEARS HENDERSON, N.C. (CNS) After being a fugitive from justice for more than 24 years of his 50 years of life, Leonard Harris, of this city, returned from the North to visit his mother and was arrested for a murder committed in 1908. One Saturday night in 1908 Harris shot a woman, and she died the next day, according to information given the officers, and that night Harris left the city. He says he has been living in Boston since then. He came back here about a week ago for the first time since the shooting, and was at the home of his mother when officers went there for him.

OFFERED WRIGHT Editor Of Christian Recorder May Accept Post At School He Once Taught WILBERFORCE, Ohio. — The presidency of Wilberforce University has been offered to Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, and former teacher at the university, according to a statement by Bishop R. C. Ransom, chairman of the university trustee board. The post was offered to Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University, this summer. He went to the university and served one month then resigned. "I am seriously considering the presidency of Wilberforce, but it will be at least ten days before I can give a definite answer." Dr. Wright is quoted as saying, "I was offered the presidency once before but did not see fit to accept. My friends are now trying to convince me that it is my duty to take up the work there. And I may do so." Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., for many years editor of the Negro's oldest periodical, has been offered the presidency of the new Wilberforce. Said Bishop Ransom concerning the offer, "We first made the offer to Dr. Chas. H. Wesley, of Howard University. Heis a school man and an educator. Dr. Wesley accepted, then resigned within a month. We then turned to Dr. Wright, and I have drafted him. Dr. Wright is not only a scholar and an educator, but he is a business man as well, and should make if he accepts, the best president we have had." Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., to whom reference was made by Bishop Ransom has been known for many years as one of the foremost scholars in the A.M.E. Church! He was born in Georgia. His father was for 30 years president of the Georgia State College at Savannah, Ga., resigning about 10 years ago to go into the banking business with his son in Philadelphia. The younger Wright received his A. B. from his father's institution, A.M., and B.D., from the University of Chicago during the presidency of the late William Rainey Harper; Ph.D., from the University of Pennsylvania. He studied in the University of Berlin, Germany and the University of Leipzig. Dr. Wright won many scholarships in an unusually brilliant academic career. Most of his tuition at the University of Chicago was covered by scholarships won in competition. He was the first Negro in America to hold a research fellowship in Sociology, and the first Negro to receive the Ph.D. degree in Sociology and Economics. Dr. Wright studied Greek and Hebrew and theology under some of the world's most famous schools, such as Shailer Mathews, William R. Harper of America; Adolph Harmak, Kaftan, Bernard Weiss, Otto Phleiderin. In fact Dr. Wright was qualified for rthe Ph.D., degree in Theology when, because of a small church he took in Chicago, his interest switched to practical Christianity and to sociology. He believed——what?——nothing. Former presidents of Wilberforce were Bishop D. A. Payne, 1863-1876; Bishop B. F. Lee, 1876-1884; S. T. Mitchell, 1848-1900; Bishop J. H. Jones, 1900-1908; W. S. Scarborough, 1908-1920; Bishop J. A. Gregg (who declined the presidency of Howard University) 1920-1924; Gilbert H. Jones, Ph.D. (Jena, Germany), 1924-1932; Chas H. Wesley, Ph.D., Harvard (June-July, 1932). Dr. Wesley served one month. Sentenced To 360 Days For Concealed Weapon Robert F. Allen, was convicted before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Police Court Wednesday on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon and sentenced to 360 days in jail. The man was arrested by Detective Sergeant Frank M. Alligood, of the automobile squad, who testified he stopped a stolen car in which Allen was riding several days ago and found a pistol hidden under the seat. In addition to this charge Allen was also charged with joy riding and was held for the grand jury under $500 bond. William G. Smothers and Floyd Adams were held with him on the latter charge. The trio were accused of taking an automobile belonging to a man living in the 1200 block of Four-and-one-half street, southwest.

BOTTS INSTALLED AS PRESIDENT OF DEMOCRATS HERE Progressive Club Meet To Outline Program For Election Officers of the Progressive Democratic Club were installed Tuesday at the club headquarters, 925 N street, northwest. The installation was conducted by Mack D. Rowe. Officers of the club are Theodore S. Botts, president; John M. Shepherd, vice-president; Daniel O. Alston, secretary; E. T. Taylor, assistant; W. W. O'Day, treasurer; Nationiel Smith, Jr., sergeant-at-arms, and the Rev. J. Z. Horton, chaplain. The following standing committees are to be appointed at a future meeting; membership, affairs of the District, contact and political clubs, entertainment and reception, and publicity. The local club plans to function as a contact organization with similar groups in the States and work out a schedule whereby it could co-operate with State organizations. In outlining the club's program Mr. Botts said: "One of the important matters we should direct our attention is to study and map out a plan by which Negro citizens in the District can obtain his due adequate proportion of employment in the District Government. We comprise a little over one-fourth of the city's population, paying high taxes and a large amount of the total taxes, yet, a very few of our people receive employment. "Before the citizens of the District will be able to exercise their right of franchise, an amendment to the Constitution must be adopted by two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the Legislatures of the States. "The provision in the Constitution gives Congress the power of exclusive legislation in the seat of government, thus Congress is deprived of the power of admitting the seat of government to representation in Congress and the electoral college through the gate of Statehood. To give the District the full status of a State, Congress would have to abdicate its right of exclusive power of legislation in the District bestowed upon Congress by the Constitution. Not only have the courts held that Congress cannot surrender the exclusive power of legislation in the District, but cannot even delegate this Constitutional power. "It is our duty as lovers of justice a diplomatic rights to join hands with those organizations which, from year to year, jointly present feasible resolutions and a practicable amendment on National Representation for the District. It is our business as American citizens to study this question and let the world know that we are willing to fight for the right of franchise." Baltimore Man Finds Washingtonian's $1,000 BALTIMORE, Md.—James Allen, 800 block of South Sharpe street, found his dream of wealth shattered Tuesday when he was forced to return a $1,000 bill he found that night at Hill and Hanover streets. Allen went to a bank Tuesday morning, opened an account, drew out $200, and went out to purchase clothing. When police found him he had both arms filled with bundles, and had spent $145. They told him the bill had been lost Monday night by William Olrich, white, 32 I street, northwest, Washington, who had brought $2,900 cash to Baltimore with him Monday night to buy a truck. He had the money in his shoe, and in walking about the city one of the thousand dollar notes worked out. Police at headquarters got Olrich and Allen together to attempt to straighten out the financial situation. Carr's Beach Attracting Many Washingtonians And Baltimoreans Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, a daughter of the late Frederick Carr, former owner of the 163-acre track of land on which Carr's Beach is located, opened her section of this excellent beach to colored patrons last year for the first time. During the life of her father, white patronage was sought and encouraged. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sparrow, another daughter of Mr. Carr's, decided to retain their sections and cater to colored patrons. Mrs. Smith says that she has been well supported by colored patrons. Many people from Baltimore and Washington have become regular patrons at this new beach and the outlook promises increased patronage. This tract of land of 163 acres was purchased by Frederick Carr about 25 years ago. He opened this fine beach to white patrons and had built up a wide summer patronage. Upon his death he left the tract equally divided among his six children. The famous beach was divided between his four daughters, two of whom leased their sections to white people, and the other two opened their's to colored people. Mrs. Smith retains the original name of Carr's beach, while Mrs. Sparrow has named her section "Sparrow's Beach." Mr. Carr is said to have refused many flattering offers for his tract of land, which he valued at $150,-000.

Richardson, head of the Mechanical Dept, in charge, the remodeling of the Chapel has been in progress for the past three or four weeks. All of the carpentry and masonry work is being done by the school itself. New flooring is being laid; the chair loft is being lowered and the joists strengthened. In some places the plastering is being repaired. There will also be a new heating plant installed. The Lamb Studios, of New York City, are putting in the special glass windows and redecorating the inside. These studios are nationally known for this type of work. They have sent four workmen, especially skilled in glass and redecorating, who have been on the job for weeks. The total cost of the remodeling will be well over sixteen thousand dollars. It is planned for the chapel to be ready for use by the opening of school in September. Peoples Model Grocery Pays A Dividend New York, July 28.—A dividend of 7% was declared at the annual meeting of the Peoples Enterprises, Inc., at the meeting of the stockholders held at the Peoples Credit Union, 203 W. 138th street, on July 20. This organization owns three C. M. A. stores in Harlem, The Peoples Model Grocery, 2066 Seventh avenue, the Seventh Avenue Model Grocery, 2304 Seventh Avenue, and the Variety Model Grocery, 2268 Seventh Avenue, C Benjamin Curley is president, and Miss Goldie Harris is secretary. The stores did a gross of more than $60,000 during the first year of operations. Nearly all of those receiving dividend checks turned them back into the business immediately. Mr. Curley said in part: "When we remember that this year's showing represents an initial investment of $5,000 we think we are not immodest to consider this enterprise a success." Twenty persons are given employment in the three stores operated by this company. Police Seek Fillipino In Stabbing of Colored Man Police of the Fourth Precinct were searching for Pedro Lacuesta, Fillipino, of 115 D street, southeast, late Wednesday, in connection with the stabbing of William Anderson 33, 14 M street, northeast, earlier in the day.

TO STAY IN WASHINGTON Socialist Candidate For V. President Delivers Frank Speech To Veterans James H. Mauer, Socialist candidate for Vice-President, advised the members of the B.E.F. to oppose all efforts to move them out of Washington when he addressed them this morning at Camp Anaconda. He told the veterans they had a right to the bonus and were using a good method of impressing the country with the justice of their demands. He urged they fight for immediate payment of the bonus to unemployed veterans and for a general program for unemployment relief and for jobs. Mauer said in part: 'When you fellows were sent overseas to make sure a lot of rich bankers wouldn't lose any money in the war, you were promised the world. You were heroes then and you were told nothing was too good for you. Now you are denounced as reds and radicals when you come to Washington to collect your back pay. "By now you have certainly learned that members of Congress are nothing but loud speakers for Wall Street. They have voted billions for banks and railroads but only a pittance for the unemployed and nothing for the veterans. The bonus is yours by every right in the world, but you are just common people and the Government today is not one of the people, by the people, and for the people, but one of the people, by bankers' agents for the bankers. "I understand you men are talking about a twelve and a half billion dollar relief program, two and a half for immediate payment of the bonus, five billions for direct relief of the unemployed, and five billions for jobs, particularly the building of decent homes for workers by the Government and elimination of our slum areas. The Socialist Party has identical demands in its platform for direct relief and public works, and I'm with you in the demand for the bonus, if it is made part of a relief program, that is, pay the bonus at once to unemployed veterans. "Rotten Muss" "Your march on Washington and encampment here has been one of the few cheering signs of resentment against the rotten mess into which the rulers of the country have led us. You have given hope to millions of unemployed Americans that there are Americans who won't accept bad conditions without protesting and fighting for their rights. Pressure is now being brought to bear from many sources to make you fellows leave town. I hope you will oppose all such efforts; stay right here to fight the battle of the common people. Revive the mill; may you showed when you first wed. "I saw an announcement... in the press the other day that you are going to form the Bonus Evpeditionary Forces Rank and File of America, to fight to put the country back on its feet. I like that phrase 'rank and file.' Every worker in the country will welcome the appearance of a veterans organization that is interested in the struggle of the great mass of the American people rather than catering to the interests of the few wealthy owners of the United States. As an active member of the organized labor movement of America, I have always wondered why there wasn't such a movement and I am mighty glad to see it appearing. "We are facing a situation today that means nothing but misery and starvation for most Americans. It is essential that those of us who understand what the cause of the depression is—that a few wealthy people own the country, get far too much of our total income, and control the Government in their own interest you must stick together. Don't let anybody split you into factions. If all of us who are battling against poverty, misery, low wages, insecurity of jobs, and un- equal distribution of income will stick together, we can return the country and Government to the people. Let's turn out a racial united front against our wealthy rulers and their political puppets. We have been fooled long enough by the shams and pretensions of the Republicans and Democrats. Use your heads in 1532, and vote a real rank and file ticket, the Socialist ticket. We offer you a real plan to get out of the depression, and that is something that neither the Democrats or Republicans do." CAPITAL RESIDENT PASSES N. C. STATE EMBALMING BOARD CAPITAL RESIDENT PASSES N. C. STATE EMBALMING BOARD E. Sherman Campbell, 1910 Fourth street, northwest, was recently informed that he was successful in passing the North Carolina State Board of Embalming, held at the Hotel Sir Walter in Raleigh, on May 9. The professional boards of North Carolina are generally known to be among the most rigid of the States in their tests, especially within the last few years. Mr. Campbell received his literal education at the State Normal School, Fayetteville, N.C., and is a graduate of Eckels College of Embalming and Sanitary Science in Philadelphia. He also holds a degree of Doctor of Sanitary Science from the latter college. Aside from his regular work in embalming, he plans to volunteer in an effort to improve health conditions of the race by lectures on "Sanitation" and "Health." He is 27 years old and a native of North Carolina. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932 "Segregation Is Cause Of Most Of Our Ills"-Woodson He Tells Of Segregation In Schools, Politics, Churches And Real Estate Offices. Are You A Segregationist? Are you a segregationists? Recently I was called a segregationist because I have attended a colored church, taught in a separate school and traveled in a jim-crow car. If this is segregation, it is not by choice. I am not welcomed in the other churches at my home in the capital of the nation, for practically all of them turn colored people away. I do not think that I should stop attending church, but I shall never identify myself with one that has been set up for colored people pushed out through the back door, one that does not want us. Do you do such a thing? As a teacher, like others, I had to serve my people in their separate schools or permit them to grow up in ignorance. In going to various parts of the country to serve them, too, I have had to ride in the jim-crow car, for I could not walk the distance; and, if necessary, I would have gone in a box car in order to serve them. I love my people, and I want to suffer with them. Under Protest No sane man will say that one compelled to do a thing should be held responsible for what he does. When I had to do these things I did them under protest. I have never advocated the separation of the races in churches and schools, nor have I advocated the jim-crow law as I have known some misguided people to do. I advocate the destruction of social and economic barriers. Taking care of colored people who have been driven away from other churches and schools is a different thing from establishing them for personal gain. A segregationist is one taking the initiative to bring the evil upon himself, usually because he profits thereby, although the group to which he belongs, loses that much of its liberty. Real Estate Sharks This is a question which you may answer yourself. Do you join with ill-designing real estate men in keeping our people out of desirable parts of the city and confining them to the unsanitary section? Do you help them to collect from colored people thus cornered a larger rental than they exact from whites for the same property? Do you, as their agent, connive at the owners' neglecting such property accupied by colored people because you know that these indigent people cannot move elsewhere? If you do these things, you are a segregationist living on the profits of segregation. Have you as a minister ever gone into the community where the races were moving along amicably together in their churches and you rented a shack or an old empty store to start a separate church for "our people" that you might make your living without working for it? If you have done this you are not a servant of the lowly Jesus; you are a segregationist serving the Anti-Christ arrayed in opposition to the principles of brotherhood taught by the humble Nazarene. Separate churches are not necessary to serve Him. They prevent Him from being served. Jim Crow Teachers Have you ever settled in a community with mixed schools, and because the board of education did not let your daughter teach or those in charge of the schools did not treat your children right, you started the movement which resulted in separate schools? Then you are a short-sighted segregationist. You are violating the principle of democracy and denying your own children the chance in life which they deserve. Instead of advocating separate schools you should have staged a fight for equality and justice in the system as it existed. Most parts of the country are not able to maintain one good system. When they have to provide a makeshift system for our people, it is generally understood that the facilities will be inferior and that the colored child thereby loses his chance for enlightenment. Jim Crow Politicians Do you as a politician corner the colored voters of your community and open a "two-by-four office" where you bargain with the chieftains of partisan warfare for the sale of these unlightened people at so much a head? If you do, you are a segregationist. If these voters are wanted, why not have the party call them or their representatives to ita headquarters as they do other elements of the population? People thus handled can have no influence in politics, and their leaders will always be treated with contempt. Jim Crow Jobholder Do you as an officeholder accept positions with the understanding that your duties will be purely nominal and that you and your assistant will be set off by yourselves as if you were contaminating to the rest of mankind? If you do, you are a segregationist. You may thereby feather your own nest, but you can have no respect for yourself; and, of course, nobody else will have any for you. Your step is one backward toward the time when even that which you hold by compromise will be taken away.

Professional Profiteer Do you, as a professional man impose upon innocent blacks, who because of racial proscription are not wanted by white professional men? Do you treat these unfortunate people when they are already well and they do not know any better than pay you fees for unnecessary service or for disservice? If you do these things, you are a professional profiteer taking advantage of the despised and rejected of men whose segregation, temporarily at least, redoubles to the interest of the exploiter. Well, then, you will say that many people are segregated. Few can escape this hard and fast rule. This is true. Most of our leaders are engaged in some form of segregation, and they have become so accustomed to it that they never think of it as a crime against mankind. Occasionally when the oppressing white suddenly kick our people one rung lower on the social ladder the shock is sufficient to invite reflection and investigation. Some one, then, may begin to think and to say that if we had not done so and so, this thing might not have happened. It is too late then. The decision has been made. The die has been cast. The inevitable has followed. Clearly, then, we are the cause of most of our troubles. We look for the causes without, but they are within and deep seated. We have been educated to go in this direction. We do not know for what place we've headed, but we do know that we are going from bad to worse. Segregation is the guage of this decline. We shall have to revolutionize things to effect a change. 4-H CLUBS HOLD TENTH ANNUAL SHORT COURSE Six Home Agents, 20 Farm Agents, One Field Agent And 20 4-H Leaders More than two hundred enthusiastic boys and girls, representing 4-H clubs in twenty-six Virginia counties, gathered at Virginia THREE State College, July 19 to 23 inclusive, to attend the tenth annual state short course. The 4-H clubs gathered for the purpose (1) of helping country boys and girls to improve rural farm and home practices and the social life of their own communities; (2) of showing them the possibilities of rural life; (3) of aiding those who so desire to become efficient farmers and home makers; and (4) to teaching rural boys and girls how to make themselves public spirited, useful citizens and leaders in rural affairs." These objectives of 4-H club work were carried out in this year's Assembly through open forums, group meetings, social gatherings, and athletic and judging contests held under the direction of six home demonstration agents, 30 farm demonstration agents, three district agents, one field agent, and 20 4-H club leaders, who are engaged in extension work throughout the State of Virginia. President John M. Gandy welcomed the future farmers and home makers to the campus, and congratulated them upon gathering at this time to partake of the benefits of the short course. Personal Hygiene Dr. E. G. Trigg of Virginia State College gave the boys and girls a very instructive talk on personal hygiene that will aid them in their growth and development. Other members of the Virginia State College to take part in the course were Professor J. L. Lockett, director of the division of agriculture; Mr. J. E. Settle, Professor G. W. Owens, State Teacher and Mr. J. R. Thomas, of agricultural educa- tion. Mr. F. R. Van Narden, Secretary of the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, greeted the delegates and presented a loving cup donated by that organization to be awarded to the county sending the best demonstration team. The cup was won by Nellie and Magnolia Parton of Chesterfield County, with their demonstration on making a nest for a brooding hen. In the judging contest judging eggs and hogs, Elsie Wilson and Georgia Dupree of Charlotte County won first place. Nellie Parton of Chesterfield County won first prize in the historical contest. First place in the dress parades in which all counties participated was won by Amelia County. Each afternoon games were played on the spacious campus lawn, under the direction of game committee composed of local agents and club leaders. The games consisted of line games, circle games and various stunts. Field agent J. B. Pierce, District Agent T. B. Patterson and Miss L. A. Jenkins, district home demonstrator, agent were the leading personalities in the course. Tired of Dry Period Patient—Doc, you remember two months ago you advised me to be careful and not to get wet.

GRANT LUCAS SEEKS POST AS COMMISSIONER Voters of Highland Beach To Go To Polls To Elect Governing Body (Special to the Tribune) HIGHLAND BEACH, Md. — Election will get under way here Saturday when voters of this community will go to the polls to elect a board of commissioners. Polls will be open between the hours of 3 to 8 p.m. All five of the present commissioners are candidates for re-election. M. Grant Lucas, a former commissioner, is the only opposition on this year's slate. This is the first time in several years an opposition candidate has been a candidate. In his annual report to the commissioners, Haley G. Douglass, chairman, outlined the work of the group for the past year and suggested plans for a greater community in the future. Mayor Douglass also gave a brief sketch of the history of the community. Part of the report follows: "Forty years ago Major Charles R. Douglass, realizing the desirability of forming a high class private community which would provide the advantages of seashore and rural surroundings, purchased, subdivided and named this tract 'Highland Beach,' because of its gradual upward slope from the broad and refreshing waters of the Chesapeake Bay. From the very beginning he exercised great care in the disposition of his lots and managed to lay a foundation for a colony free from the congestion and turmoil of the usual 'resort.' In 1922 this colony had the distinction of becoming the first incorporated community of its kind in the State of Maryland. Now in the year 1932 we celebrate our tenth anniversary with confidence that our citizens will continue the splendid program of development begun by the founder. Scores Bathing Parties "The present commission board, consisting of Mrs. Fannie H. Douglass, Tally R. Holmes, John E. Washington, William A. Wells, and Haley G. Douglass, has worked faithfully to promote and preserve order, health and beauty within our town. We are still confronted with the problem of unauthorized picnics and bathing parties. The failure of large cities to provide adequate bathing and recreational facilities has placed upon us the burden of protecting our property from roving trespassers whose ignorance or lack of self respect permits them uninvited to impose upon residents who bought their homes for the benefit of their own families and friends. "Recent acts of vandalism in our vicinity were probably performed by drunken rebellers. From the description given they are the same persons who on former occasions have gotten away with similar offenses. When boy-switzerland pranks reach criminal proportions it is time for us to employ every pos- sible means in bringing the culprits to justice. "The majority of our citizens have readily compiled with the building regulations in the extensive building operations now going on, and it appears that the time has arrived when they are willing to sacrifice personal advantages for the best interest of the whole community. DEANWOOD, D. C. V. A. Bunch, Reporter Mr. Herbert Davis, accompany by friends, paid a fleeting visit our suburb, Sunday evening. WI it comes to sight-seeing, Mr. Da is always ready to show visit the nation's capital. Mr. Ambrose White, Jr., and Native Advantages "Highland Beach possesses native advantages which once destroyed can never be restored. It is desirable that we exercise the same care in preserving our native trees, plants, and bird life that we expend in the improvement of roads, lawns and gardens. "I desire to commend the commissioners for the many permanent improvements they have made during the year. "Taking advantage of labor and material at reasonable prices during the past winter and spring and with close figuring and constant and direct supervision of the work being done, we have been able to do many things at a small expenditure and have accomplished some things we had hopes for but thought almost impossible to do with our limited revenue. Road Program "The beach front has been cleared of unsightly weeds and brush and many of the swamp places filled in, streets have been graded, sidewalks leveled, cement gutters put in at each of the owners' driveways, and the work of permanently improving the roads as planned has been pushed forward as economically and as fast as funds have become available and I am now pleased to say it is contemplated that within the next twelve months every road in Highland Beach will be oiled and surfaced and put in first-class condition. Notwithstanding all of these improvements we have reduced our tax rate from $1.00 to 75 cents, and with the nearing of the completion of our road work we contemplate making a still further reduction in the tax rate for next year and cut the original tax rate in half. The work of keeping the roads in repair hereafter will be a small item and we will now be able to devote our time with a small expenditure to further beautifying our town and making other improvements for the benefit of the residents. Tributes Williams "Although we have invited criticisms and suggestions from owners of Highland Beach property we have heard only praise for the substantial improvements made during the present year. "The books and records of the commissioners are open for inspection at all times. "The passing of our highly esteemed commissioner, J. Thomas Williams, was our greatest loss. During his residence with us, he set a worthy example of the highest type of citizenship.

Earnest Jarvis to ob- tain agin’ the contract for. the burial of ex-service men, Eleven years ago Mr. Jarvis started as a pioneer in the under- faking, business in the District of Columbia with the determination to be a mortician of credit to his tace. Within the span of eleven ears, he has transforméd a small funeral establishment into an ex- guisite and apacious sixteen room funeral home. Through his in- geniuty and the faithful~and effi cient cooperation of his assistants he has perfected one of the most elaborately oquipped funeral homes in the United States. _ The building itself is an inipos- ing two story structure located at 1432 U_ stteet, northwest. Upon entering the building one is im- pressed with the beauty and dig- nity of its interior. On the. first floor are two commodio’s and ap- propiately furnished reception par- lors. Opposite the parlors are the private offices of Mr. Jarvis and the modernly equipped office of the general ‘manager and his assis- tants, In the rear is located the chapel, where funeral services may be held in ease a church funeral is not de- sired. Music, is furnished by an electric contrivance and upon such ceegslons fills the entire building with its deep solemn organ-like tones, such @ one would expect to hear in some ancient cathedral, “Stay-Over” Service On the second floor, Mr. Jarvis has installed a feature which is unique among funeral ' churches, This is a “beautifully furnished guest room with private bath where out of town relatives of the deceased may be accomodated without charge while waiting for the shipment of the body out, of town, or for the funeral services here, as the case may be. Patrons ‘thus’ will be saved considerable un- necessary expenses. Two slumber ‘rooms where friends or relatives ‘may view the remains before the ‘body is placed in the casket are also afforded on this floor. Hgre also are two stock rooms filled with caskets of all descrip- tions, such as quartered oak, ash, sasrami¢, metallized silver and gold, half couch metallized caskets and others, With this varied as- sortment on hand Mr. Jarvis is rear Hye a at all times to sup- ply the simplest or most exacting demands of his patrons, In the basement are the spot lessly white embalming rooms, fit ted up with thé most modern an¢ sanitary equipment.

(CNS)—A new and intimate picture of Paul Robeson and his wife, whose names have blazed the front pages of the Negro press during the last week or so, has been given here by Hannen Swaffer, famous dramatic critic and newspaper gossip of the London Daily Herald. Report that Mrs. Robeson has written a play soon to be produced by the Theatre Guild in New York, that color prejudice made an otherwise successful life unpleasant in London, and that the numerous rumors of Robeson's affairs with white English women are unfounded were contained in Swaffer's column. Headed, "Robeson the Wife Writes a Play," Swaffer wrote as follows: "Paul Robeson the wife has put all her long experience of Negro life and character into a play which she calls 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' "It has been accepted by the Theatre Guild in New York, and it is now being read, for London, by C.B. Cochran. "Negro characters pro the best drama when th.y are seen in contact with the white life around them. Mrs. Robeson, knowing this has shown the effect of the tour of a coloured orchestra through Europe. 'Uncle Tom,' as they call him, is the head of a coloured troupe of musicians. The 'Cabin,' I believe, is the Harlem cabaret where they start, and then, becoming successful, they travel to London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow, ending in the Harlem from which they came. "All around them, during their tour, there have been high spots of drama. Romance has surrounded them. Tragedy has been on the fringe of their lives. But they seem utterly indifferent to it all. They are just a band of coloured musicians, who go out on tour, and return again, not conscious that anything unusual has happened. There is a great motive in this as anyone knows, as I do, the effect of all these Negro companies on the different civilizations around them. "Recently, Mrs. Robeson has been living in Vienna. She found it easier for her small son, who, although popular on the leath where he played—I remember that when the Robesons lived at Hampstead, people would touch the child's head for luck—might have found it embarrassing when he grew a little older. "Paul Robeson and his wife have, in England, more than once been rudely treated by people who do not understand that the colour lines is something created by white people when they enslave coloured races. "Vienna behaves to us naturally," says Mrs. Robeson. "I was happy there." "When Paul Robeson's life was published a year or two ago, Mrs. Robeson was the author. The book was well written and a proof that she has a great sense of underlying character. I hope her play will be done in London. By the way, I must deny the silly stories that have been going around about Paul Robeson, stories as malicious as they are sensational. They started in New York. Paul is a man entitled to all our respect. His friends, at any rate, remember this." Employee of U. S. Capitol Expires After Long Illness John "Bootsy" Williams, son of the late John and Francis Williams died after a lingering illness, last Saturday, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Daisy Miller, 507 U street, northwest. Mr. Williams was born in Washington and educated in the public schools of the city. He had been employed at the United States Capitol for a number of years. Funeral services were held on Tuesday from the Metropolitan A. M.E. Zion Church. Rev. William Washington and Rev. J. McCoy officiated. Mr. Williams was also a member of the Felix Lodge No. 3, of Masons, and the Young Men's Protective League. Surviving Mr. Williams are his widow, Mrs. Molly Williams, and two sisters, Mrs. Daisy Miller and Mrs. Pinkey Gordon. 70 Have Committeed Suicide Here This Year Washington will doubtless set an all-time record for suicides during 1982 if the present rate is continued. According to statistics issued, 70 persons have been suicides here this year, and 151 have made unsuccessful attempts. The records show that January had 16 suicides and 21 attempts; February, the shortest month, had 8 suicides and 38 attempts; eight ended their lives in March, and 21 made attempts; April had 10 suicides and 26 attempts; May followed with 11 such deaths and 10 unsuccessful attempts; and June had 12 deaths and 28 attempts.

Forest Fire Theatens Douglass Memorial Home A rapidly spreading forest fire, which threatened to assume large proportions and do considerable damage to the Cook Home, Frederick Douglass Memorial Home and other houses in the vicinity was extinguished before much harm was done. Tuesday. The blaze was discovered by Captain W. Jennings Newsome while he was hiking after a visit to the Old Civil War power fort located in that woods. The fire threatened to cut the path of anyone traveling in that vicinity. However, Captain Newsome succeeded in sounding an alarm and fortunate that the flames were under control before much damage was done. The blaze is believed to have startled by a lighted match or cigar but thoughtlessly thrown in the woods by a visitor. ALLEY DWELLERS PAY their painting, papering, and general repairs, if they are to be done. I found one man who owned his own shack and he told me that he paid $500.00 for it some years ago when real estate values were high, but today, he would not give $250.00 for any of them. I asked him what these shacks would bring at sale and the old fellow told me that they couldn't be bought. The inhabitants of these dwellings represent the poorest element of the Negro group, principally common and unskilled laborers whose wages average about $12 per week. The rentals collected from these houses represent a clear profit for the owner in the final analysis, for he has very small taxes to pay and he has little or no upkeep expense. The Washington, Loan and Trust Co., owns or controls about a dozen of the houses in Navy Plaza, Gaywood and Garrett have a few, but the majority belong to a Mrs. Dyson. I was told that Mrs. Dyson personally handled these properties until the death of her husband, and she then placed them in the hands of Donohue and Sons, Real Estate Dealers. Mrs. Dyson rented these houses at from $5 to $7 per month, but as soon as the Donohue firm took them over they immediately raised rents to $12.50 and $13.50 per month. Along with this enormous increase there were no improvements to the property. One woman who has been a tenant for 16 years told me that the house had not been painted in 15 years. Another tenant of 29 years informed me that it is very hard to get the landlord to make any repairs; they will make many promises but actually do nothing. Some of the rooms of these houses are very small, about 8x8 and will hardly accommodate more than a dresser, a bed and a chair. "220 I Street, S.

"In this alley there are several landlords who handle the properties and it seems to be a matter of getting as much as they can for the houses. All of the dwellings are in about the same condition, and all have the same conveniences, which are absolutely none. According to these facts and circumstances there should be no discrepancy in the item of rent but I found that in some cases there was a difference of $5 in the rent of houses next door to each other. I discovered one or two which were in fairly good repair, but none of these dwellings can very well be called decent homes.

A dealer by the name of Quick has established a scheme of renting these alley shacks by the room and collecting the rent each week. A four-room house is managed in the following manner: The front room on the first floor rents for $2.50 per week, the rear room on the first floor $2.00 per week, second floor front room $2 per week and second floor rear room $2 per week. Those who have rooms in the rear of the house and on the second floor must enter by the back door to the property, and the front door entrance belongs to the person who happens to rent the front room on the first floor. There is a small coal stove in each room, lavatory in the ward, no water in the house, lamp light, no both, and the houses are generally in poor condition. One woman showed me her receipt book in which the rent is recorded every seven days. You can readily see the proposition with which these people are faced, and this landlord is guilty of nothing short of robbery to charge such prices for these worthless, broken-down properties which have no conveniences. We derive $66 per month from premises 326 Dixon Court in this manner. Other houses in Dixon Court rent from $8 to $15 per month. Mr. Quick has office at 610 Sixth Street, N.W. "314 Dixon Court has no lavatory. The one next door has a lavatory in the yard but the water is not running. Some of these places have no sheds or fences in the rear and the landlords refuse to make repairs or improvements. "Mr. Chairman, these conditions which I have cited exist in several sections of the city, and are practically the same in all alleys and courts. Not only do these conditions contribute to disease, but they do not present the proper environment for the small children who must of necessity be reared under these circumstances, and paramountly, something should be done to put an end to the policy of robbery which the landlords are practicing on these alleys and court dwellers. If they consider the present rents fair, they should at least give the tenant's something for their money in the way of repair and improvements. These conditions are not conducive to good citizenship, and it becomes the Congress to intervene in this situation and compell the landlords to stop robbing these people or improve these properties, and if not that, order their demolition. You will be doing the community and the occupants themselves a great favor, for the tenants might take more pride in decent living quarters. "My investigation took me to the following courts and alleys where conditions are just as undesirable and evilly managed as is true in the cases which I have already mentioned: Jackson Alley, Shott's Court, Ball's Court, Temperance Alley.

One small short street, formerly named Washington Street, which is populated by Negroes, was thought so unrepresentative of the beauty of the city, and so unbecoming the dignity of the name, that it has been renamed G Street Place—may I say for the benefit, particularly, of our Bicentennial visitors. "I have been unable to find another group who are being victimized and exploited" as are the colored citizens of Washington in this matter of rents. Investigations show that Negroes generally pay much higher rents for like properties than do white persons, and this is also true largely in the sale of property. "The property located next door to my residence is a two-story frame dwelling, about to fall down, poorly kept, and rents for $48 per month. It has been recently painted for the first time in years. It has been by far the worst looking house in the block until the landlord recently dobbed it with a coat of paint on the outside. "A ten percent return on real estate is usually considered a fair margin of profit, but I charge most emphatically Mr. Chairman, that some realty dealers in the city are receiving far greater profits from the colored properties which they manage. Washington has 29,000 Negro families of whom 21,413 are renters and 7,000 are home owners. This group of citizens do not get equivalent values either in rents or sales in the properties which they occupy. "In conclusion may I say to the gentlemen of this committee that with the general conditions of poverty affecting the colored citizens, and we are harder hit by this so-called depression than other groups, the meagre salaries which they laboring element receives, there should be some corresponding reduction in the rents. I submit for your consideration particularly this problem of rents and conditions in the side streets and alleys. I ardently hope that you see fit to enact some legislation which will wholly remedy the situations which I have mentioned, thereby increasing and promoting good citizenship among the Negro population of Washington."

Place a single layer of the apples and the carrots in a large skillet with the fat, cover tightly, and cook until well browned, turn, and brown the other side. Just before the cooking is finished, sprinkle with the sugar and salt. Serve on a hot platter, first a layer of carrots, then a layer of apples, so the two can be lifted together. Select a plump, young chicken, split down the back, draw, wash and wipe dry. Rub all over with butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dust with flour, and place on a rack in a roasting pan skin side up. Broil under the flame of an oven, and as soon as tightly browned turn the other side up. Continue to cook under the flame for about 20 minutes, then place in a moderate oven (350° F.) for 15 minutes to finish. Throughout the cooking bake frequently with the drippings and with melted butter. Serve the broiled chicken on a hot platter with the drippings poured over it. If more convenient start the cooking of the chicken in the oven and finish by browning directly under the flame of the oven. SAVORY CREAMED CHICKEN 4-lb. fowl. 1 cup chopped celery and leaves. ½ cup chopped onion. ¼ green pepper, chopped. Flour. 3 drops tabasco sauce. Place the fowl in a kettle on a rack, half filled with boiling water, cover, cook slowly until tender, and let stand in the broth overnight in a cold place. Skim the fat from the broth, remove the chicken meat from the bones, and cut it into uniform pieces. Return the bones to the broth and simmer for a short while so as to get off any small pieces of meat that cling to the bones. Brown the celery, onion and green pepper in 4 tablespoons of the fat removed from the chicken stock. Measure the broth. There should be about 1 quart. For each cup of broth add 2 tablespoons of flour to the cream and mix until smooth. Add to the chicken broth with the salt and the tabasco, stir until thickened, add the chicken, and mix until well blended. Serve on crisp toast or with rice patties. Silica bread thin, remove the crusts, and without buttering make into sandwiches with thin even slices of sharp-flavored cheese as the filling and a sprinkling of salt and a drop or two of tabasco sauce for seasoning. In a heavy skillet melt sufficient butter to cover the bottom and brown the sandwiches delicately and rather slowly on both sides, adding more butter if necessary. Take care that the butter does not become so hot that it browns the sandwiches before the bread is heated through and the cheese melted. Serve the cheese dreams at once with a salad of vegetables or of sardines. LIMA BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE 2 cups dried lima beans. 2 quarts water. 2 cups canned tomatoes. 8 whole cloves. ½ lb. sliced bacon. 1 large onion, sliced. 2 tablespoons flour. Salt. Pepper. Tahapo sauce Wash the beans and soak them overnight in water to cover. In the morning pour off this water, cook in 2 quarts of lightly salted water for about one-half hour, or until tender but not broken, and drain. Simmer the tomatoes with the cloves for 10 minutes and strain off the juice. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, remove from the fat, drain on absorbent paper, and keep warm. Brown the onion in the bacon fat, stir in the flour until well blended, add the tomato juice and beans, and cook until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt, pepper, tabasco sauce, and serve with the strips of bacon over the top.

Kuyper HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. A statement of great interest to Hampton Institute and its many friends has just been made by President Arthur Howe in announcing the appointment of Miss Dorothy Hopson as dean of women beginning with September 1. Miss Hopson is no stranger to Hampton, for she has taught at the Hampton Institute summer school for the last six years. She comes to her new position here with a wide and varied background both in training and in educational and executive experience. Her home is in Kent, Conn. Her college training was secured at Teachers College of Columbia University, and at the New School for Social Research in New York City. She has taught at the Briarcliff (N.Y.) Union School, the Rye (N.Y.) Country School, and for the past twelve years at Mrs. Chapin's School for Girls in New York City. During the summer of 1924 she was a member of the faculty at the University of North Carolina. Her specialty has been geography, and she has been keenly interested in student government. She has been president of the Association of Private School Teachers of New York City. During her six summers at Hampton Institute she has been one of the most active of the summer session teachers. She is the third generation in her family to be interested in Negro education and welfare. Her grandmother's home in Fall River, Mass., was used as one of the stations in the underground railway. Her mother was one of three teachers to open up free schools for Negroes in Richmond directly after its occupation by Union troops.

Curtis, who has held this position for the past five years. Miss Curtis has asked to be relieved of her work here so that she may carry on her many interests in Boston, Mass., particularly in the field of family welfare. She has just accepted the appointment as trustee of the American Farm School at Salonika, Greece, often called "The Hampton of Greece." E EDITORIAL FEATURES Liberal Progressive Independent FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932 HUNGER, LIQUOR AND TAXES Three factors will play very important parts in the forthcoming campaign and Presidential election. They are Hunger, Liquor and Taxes. They effect every citizen in these United States. The Hoover Administration has aided and abetted each of these evils until today, they are flourishing, taking their toll and leaving an unforgettable impression upon the citizens of this country whose lives they touch and affect. There are more people out of work in the United States in this year of our Lord than ever before in this country. Poverty, hunger, emaciation, disease and death are everywhere evident. By his failure to act two years ago, Herbert Hoover, as President of the United States is indirectly responsible for more disease and deaths than was Woodrow Wilson during the World War. If the Refinance Corporation is to save this nation and is not a political move to reelect Herbert Hoover, if the Home Loan Bill will restore homes and prosperity and was not simply a supplying of campaign funds by allocating certain doubtful states sufficient amounts to tie up key men to the Republican Party for the coming election, then why were these two bills not passed two years ago? Had such action been taken then, poverty, hunger, disease and death would not be raging today. The Hoover Administration may not be directly responsible for the beginning of the panic but it is responsible for it lasting all of these years. Therefore, hunger, unemployment and poverty will play an important part in this election: The Republican Party has failed to offer any proposed relief in its platform: The Bonus Marchers coming to Washington has turned the searchlight of publicity on poverty, unemployment and hunger and has focused public attention on this important factor for this coming campaign. The President, Senators and Representatives who turned deaf ears to the human appeal for relief of the common people of this country are going to see it again at the polls in November. We in Washington are blessed; but for the millions out of Washington who are squarely up against the actual pangs of poverty and hunger, there is a different story to tell—a different attitude toward those responsible for existing conditions. The longer prohibition exists in this country the worse things are getting to be. The failure of each administration to enforce the law has encouraged crime, bootlegging and gang rule. The Republicans have been in power since March 4, 1921. They have utterly failed to enforce the 18th Amendment, just as they have had a little more than ten years to prove to the world that they are more loyal to the graft money received from bootleggers and gangsters than they are capable of discharging their duty and upholding the law. They have failed to do one thing toward enforcing prohibition and do not have a leg to stand on to ask the people to return the Hoover administration to power next March and expect any improvement from them. They are neutral, neither wet nor dry. The Democrats have promised repeal of the 18 Amendment if elected. The repeal of this amendment and the return of light wine and beer would mean the employment of at least a million men and would produce a beneficent effect upon industry, agriculture and prosperity in general. Therefore, liquor will play its part in the November election. With unemployment, poverty and hunger everywhere present, the Republicans were not satisfied until they tried to correct their mistakes in financing their administration and failure to collect foreign debts, by placing more taxes on the already over-burdened people. While the Administration is placing more burdens upon the common people of this country it is sending back, to millionaires and big corporations, taxes collected from them in sums up to five million dollars. Instead of increasing the income tax of the millionaires, the Administration increases the taxes of the common people and in addition to that the Hoover Administration cuts the salary of the same poorly paid workers over 8 per cent. That is working both ends against the middle. Cutting wages and placing taxes on the over-burdened common citizens of this country will undoubtedly be reflected in the November election or will some more drastic event precede the election? WHO WILL BE THE MODERN COREOBUS? Metcalfe and Tolan, on whom the eyes of the world are fixed, are basking in the glamour of American admiration (?) America's two swiftest men are to face the world's fastest humans in California within the next three weeks. It is the concensus of opinion that this year's flock of sprinters will be the fastest that has ever toed the mark since marks have been toed. If either wins he will have run a race—worthy of the winning. Negro lads have made atheletic history during the last fifteen or twenty years—and it seems that everything points fair that new history is in the offing, and of their making. The official record of fast running humans began with Coreobus, who won the foot race in 776 B.C. in the days of the original Olympics. (There are no actual records prior to that time.) Since then each year's record has been proclaimed the height to which the human body can be exerted. Are either of these Negro boys to set a record at which those who follow will aim for years to come—or will they fail? Succeed or fail, America is rooting for her Metcalfe, her Tolan. We Negroes are rooting for our Metcalfe, our Tolan. It is interestingly strange that of all the events of the Olympic games—the biggest, the most talked of, the 100-, and 200-, meter dashes—have as the center of attraction two lowly Americans—two Negro youths. Our prayers, our best wishes, our sincerest encouragement go to them—and, we know that every ounce of strength will be exerted to gain athletics' highest honors—and they will not fail.

B. ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles AY, JULY 29, 1932 KELLY MILLER SAYS: KELLY MILLER SAYS: "What argument will you present to the colored voter in the impending campaign?" I queried an uninsulted Negro Republican politician, quick as ignoring came the response—"Keep Jack Garner out of the White House for forty years the Negro has been scampeered by the emotion of gratitude; for the next forty, if the old line politician has his way, he will be scampeered by the mutive or fear. No reason, nor logic, no argument, but sneer nysteria. Immediately after emancipation it was easy to understand now a nigly emotional people could be moved by a metapor and frightened by a phase. But after sixty years of education and experience, we might naturally expect that the Negro voter of today would respond to the appeal or reason and common sense. We appealed to both of the great political parties to guarantee in their platforms equal rights and privileges for our neglected group, but they both parried our request with meaningless generalities. The Negro has no more comfort for the platform of the one than for the other. They do not differ vitally on the issues of the day. Both claim infallible formulas for the cure of depression which we take with a grain of salt. The Democratic platform is emphatically wet; the Republican is equivocally wet or dry according to the political exigencies of time and place and circumstances. On the tariff they agree on the protective principle with a divergent degree of emphasis. Both stand unequivocally for sound money and the payment of foreign debts by creditor nations. There is absolutely nothing in either which is calculated to elicit the whole souled undivided advocacy of the Negro vote as a whole. The individual voter is left absolutely free to cast his ballot for men and measures according to his best judgment and interest. Gratitude for the past and fear of the future have no proper place in the campaign. Why should the Negro fear Jack Garner? He has been in public life for thirty years without causing the Negro any public or political hurt. He has been Speaker of the House of Representatives for one year, during that time there has been no hostile agitation of the race question. Oscar DePriest served in the House under both Longworth and Garner. He fared as courteously under the one as the other. The candidates for the presidency are Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. Curtis and Garner are candidates for the Vice-Presidency. No one would dare say that Garner would not make a dynamic Vice-President. He has proved himself to be the most powerful Speaker of the House since Tom Reed and Joe Cannon. As Vice-President, he could give Charles Dawes spades and cards. He cer- OUR MAIL OUR MAIL WILL WE SURVIVE? To the Editor: Each week I read the editorial section of The Washington Tribune and at the end of each week, I wonder will we survive through the generations, the contagious diseases caught from other nations and races? As a young race, our lives have been so inter woven, so closely connected to the other race among whom we live, that we have caught his very actions, his dress, his mannerisms, and his prejudice. Each race has some distinct characteristics, some earmark, that makes one know whether he be Jew, Greek, or Gentile. Ours is the only race, alone, marked by color. Perhaps we lay too much stress upon the color question, ourselves. Perhaps we are too sensitive to our color. Perhaps, were we to leave color out of the question and seek reward for merit, and not for color, we would have a better chance to get somewhere and accomplish more from a racial standpoint. What race has been more ostracised than the Jew, but what race is more secure from a financial standpoint, during this depression? If we could survive the taunts and cruelties of slavery, surely we can survive this economic depression, regardless of the fact that we are losing out in jobs. There is still enough money left in the race, still enough people working to take time off from their jobs to go on excursions, to attend conventions, to crowd into Suburban Gardens, to lose plenty of nickels trying to win chickens, we still have enough loose pennies to play the numbers, to buy automobiles, to give big prize prizes. Were all the money thrown away in our race on such trifles, saved in each family until better times, we would not outnumber the other races in the win- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY JULY 29.1932 tainly would never be caught napping as once happened to the dynamic Dawes. It is usually considered unmannerly to forecast that the elected president will be supplanted by the vice-president. I am sure that the republicans would keepy decry the prediction that Curts will succeed nooover during the next guarden-num. But let us face frankly the possine eventually. If by any tragic chance Garner should come to the white house, I can easily see why the moned interests of the country might show some trepilation. But why on earth snould the Negro? the personality of the President makes very intre difference to him one way or the other. If it snould turn out that Mr. Garner did not choose to have his picture taken with a Negro group, he certainly has distinguished Republican precedent. If he did not appoint any Negroes to office, he would not lag very far behind Calvin Coolidge and herbert Hoover. If Negroes were denied a fair chance in the civil service, do not even the Republicans the same? Why should the Negro fear a Southern man in the White House? Any man, of any section of the country who has sufficient reputation and standing before the nation to be exalted to that high station must needs indicate sufficient breadth of patriotism and statesmanship to treat all American citizens with becoming civility and courtesy. I doubt not but that Mr. Garner would consent to make a three minute talk at a Howard University commencement, especially during election year. From whatever section the President may hail the Negro must be everlastingly on the lookout against the curtailment of his rights and privileges under the Constitution and the law. All of this talk about the South being in the saddle is arrant nonsense. The South is already firmly seated in the saddle so far as the Negro is concerned, under a Republican administration. Mr. Hoover dares not take any affirmative stand on the race question for fear of the South. Both Lily white Republican and Bourbon Democrats hold him in restraint. The South represents one-third of the nation and cannot forever be kept out of national power and authority. The future of the Negro would indeed be sad to contemplate if it depends on forever keeping a Southerner from the White House. The Negro politician is shortsighted to the point of fatality if his hopes are built upon any such filmsy foundation. I would say to the Negro—vote for Herbert Hoover or Franklin D. Roosevelt, as you may deem it wise. If through any tragic eventuality, Curtis or Garner should succeed to the Presidency, rest assured that God still reigns and the Government at Washington will still live, and while God reigns and the Government lives, the Negro will live also. ter time, seeking charity from the "Board," or the Community Chest and claiming that we received no aid because of our color. We are the most extravagant race in the world with nothing, and we have the less resources to draw from. Can we survive the disease of prejudice? Another almost incurable disease caught from the Nordics during slavery, and this disease has affected us more than it affects them—we caught it and we have it as bad that those of us who hire help, we draw the color line. those of us who stand at the top of the race activities and interests, draw the color line. We have the color line as a barrier in our church-work, in our social life, and in our economic life. We are as divided in our race, as three or four other races. We are as far apart, as Europe and America. One half the people in the race do not know what the other half is doing. Each group gets something for his own particular group, but never for the race as a whole. Those who work in charity, have a certain little group they want to help: those who work in politics have a certain little bunch they want to secure jobs, those who work in the educational field, have certain teachers for the jobs, and thousands who deserve some consideration, get nowhere, because of prejudice, in the race, not coming from the outside. The colored man is the only man, under the sun, who worships the white man as a god. Whatever a white man says, is always right in the eyes of the American Negro. Accept this proof of this state. No Negro selected program is complete unless a white man is on it, no Negro celebrity is recognized unless heard before a white audience; no Negro wants a big job unless a white man indorses it. The white man knows the esteem in which the Negro places him, and therefore he uses the Negro as a catspaw. There is no Negro place of business nor anything else that catches to Ne- DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL RECEIVERSHIP During the past few months my files have received many notations on the affairs of our business enterprises and, regrettable as it may be, the phrase, "Gone into the hands of the Receiver", has become quite familiar. To the laymen, and they are in the great majority, who are not as familiar with business procedure as they should be, the above phrase indicates to them something terrible; something disastrous; a complete failure; and creates a panicky and unstable feeling towards Negro business in general. This should not be so! "Gone into the hands of the Receiver", does not necessarily mean a complete failure. Many of the greatest enterprises in the country, particularly transportation systems; the general utility corporations, eta., have at one time or another been in the hands of the Receiver pending an internal and external adjustment and reorganization of its affairs. An ailing person goes to a doctor or a sanatorium for treatment. Some do not go until their physical condition forces such action but the wise person goes when he discovers the first ailing symptom. Just so with our enterprises. The covers the first ailing symptom, upon the acuteness of the case and its circumstances. A Woman's Viewpoint A Woman's Viewpoint DIRTY POLITICS By Beatrice M. Murphy In times of depression like these there are thousands of people out of work, some of us have brought sharply home to us the value of money. "Oh yes," say the wise ones, "this is going to be a bought election. The hundreds of unemployed men who, hungry and crying for relief, are now railing against the state of things will be offered a couple of dollars each at the polls to vote a certain party ticket, and, needing the money even more than their poor little convictions which are filling neither their pocketbooks nor their stomachs, they will probably comply." In spite of our own congressman's assertion that "Negro Democrats have been bought and paid for with the few exceptions that only go to prove the rule," this charge cannot be laid only at the door of the Democratic party. It applies to other political parties as well. There is far too much "buying" done in elections—both national and local. But the situation does not be- roes alone and bars the white man; but there is no white place where Negroes are barred, that accepts any Negro, regardless of his standing. When one Negro is barred, all are barred. Will we survive enough to stand out and be men, regardless of color, will we survive this depression and come out stronger for race pride and love, will this depression serve to drive us closer together and make us recognize what we have among ourselves without waiting for the white man to show it to us? Shooting Doesn't Pay By Johnnie Williams While strolling about town yesterday, a sign on an establishment halted me. It read, . . . "Massaging and manicuring... also Finger Waving and Shampooing." Above it an electric-lighter sign flashed out these words: "Linvinskey's Pet Shop." Boastfully telling me of his domestic accommodations, an acquaintance said: "Yeah, An' in addition to that, my wife takes my shirts, that is the silk ones, socks, an' B.V.Ds. to Hamlin's drug store. an' on Saturdays I drop by an' get 'em, all done up." Overheard: "Yeah, I'm tellin' yo. I've done everything a man could for that woman, but she appreciates nothin'." "Why, what's the trouble, Jim?" "Damn if I knows! She jest won't do right, that's all! I rented 'er a nice apartment; gie 'er plenty clothes, an' all that, but look how she's doin' me! Runnin' around with a lotta liquor-heads. . . never home when I get in from work. . . no supper ready, or anything! When I get after 'er about it, she raises sand! I know what I'm gonno do. . . I'm goin' on about my business before I fill 'er fulla lead!" The writer overheard the speaker make the above remarks, and hopes he reads what follows. If the speaker doesn't read it, then some other simpleton will. Shooting this woman will certainly put an end to her works. be they good or evil; but what about you after you've done it, big-boy! Generally speaking when an enterprise is unable to pay its indebtedness or to meet its operating expenses and nervous creditors are clamoring to attach, for their particular benefit, the known assets, then the appointment of a Receiver indicates the only judicial action to be taken in order to protect the interests of all. However, when a going concern, presumably in fairly healthy financial condition, voluntarily accepts a Receiver, as in instances which we have recently observed, the inference is given that some adjustments are necessary to which there is considerable differences of opinion, and to protect the best interests of every one a Receiver, appointed by the Court, is resorted to. This is no time for the people, Negroes especially, to become hysterical over the first signs of a seeming business set-back. In fact we should be just the opposite. We should study deeply and without prejudice all of the facts concerning the circumstances and throw our cooperation towards the individuals needing it, if their aims and efforts are worthy of same. Eradicating weakness is always a good sign of strength and some of our enterprises desire to advance constructively even if it is necessary to first go into the hands of a Receiver. come really tragic and despicable until times like the present. Men must eat;—must have clothing and shelter. To bribe an unemployed man or woman with money to do that which is against his principles is putting politics on the lowest possible plane. It is silly to even expect a hungry man to choose between "honor" and money, because it is almost impossible to be honest with your stomach and backbone touching. Those who do so realize that they are taking unfair advantage. So, it is up to the individual Negro man or woman (I say Negro because it is not almost traditional that Negro votes can be bought?) to expose that political party—or it agents—which under the guise of helping him out of a situation that is embarrassing, offers to pay for his vote or his services, if that party or its agents know that the man's convictions are contrary to its principles. And it's also up to the Negro man or woman to help clean up "dirty politics." If might must be right, see that right has the majority. Don't be bought! Hadn't thought of that, had you? Judging from what you said, . . . you've been a fairly good husband, but a successful marriage demands something more than mere goodness on the part of each contracting party. One must be good for something, and that something must be worthy of the efforts that one exerts to be good. Were you understanding and considerate with your wife when you learned that her attitude towards you was changing? Have you treated her as purchased property, or were you wise enough to regard her as an individual; even though she was or is your wife? Then, too, shooting people . . . yes, even a wife . . . because she ceases to love you is neither practical, nor individually safe? You see, love in itself is not a human creation. And, therefore, it is not subject to the human will. It is a gift from the gods and gifts are usually subject to withdrawal without notice. Hence, we would reasonably concede that anyone who has had love and lost it is to be pitied, not blamed. Now, if you will permit an ignorantus to advise you, he would say, since I'm he. . . Try in the future not to be so particular about pleasing your wife, or anyone, for that matter. For obsequiousness, like familiarity breeds contempt, and contempt goes hand in hand with scorn. Thoughtful Lines By AL PINCKNEY We may not be at liberty to make public the evil actions of another, yet no obligation should exist forcing us to maintain our intimacy. There must always be a goat for troubles, and the goat-hunters usually light on the one who is the out-standing figure. Most of us are not inspired by the presence of only one person, our inspiration comes from the magnetism of groups of people. Some men have a "fishy expression," every time you talk to them you get the impression they think you are a liar. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL OTHER PAPERS SAY OTHER PAPERS SAY B. E. F. News (Washington, D. C.) (The McCaffery Issue). (July 23, 1932) In every crisis a great man springs up to meet it. Men who have faced death, and are not afraid, to die have congregated in the Capital by the thousands. They are Americans at heart, patriotic in spirit, but nevertheless harbouring grevities that have lingered with them for years. Driven here by immediate distress and stirred to the point of action by a belief that men in control of the government have usurped the rights of the people, they were of a mind to strike back if they were struck. Only a person blind to conditions throughout the country, and ignorant of the emotions that surge through men in masses would fail to see the danger of dealing harshly with such men. General Glassford has met the crisis. Smiling, ever alert, sympathetic and kind, he has met our veterans with a helping hand. He has made them friends of the authorities, not enemies. When hot-heads in officialdom threatened drastic action which might have brought disaster, he had the courage to defy them, regardless of their rank. He has kept peace, he has maintained order, he has made himself a hero. Yet, he has not been maudlin in his actions. He has met with equal determination the few unreasonable demands of the bonus army, and he has won them over by his reason. He has forced the leaders of the larger groups to share their food with the smaller groups. He has been fair, just and honest. He won the men to him because he made them feel he understood their language of hunger, hardships and suffering. Washington owes General Glassford a debt of gratitude. The nation owes him a debt of gratitude. Government officials, if they could only see it, owe him a debt of gratitude. He rose to meet the crisis. He is indeed the "Man of the hour." GENERAL GLASSFORD B. E. F. News (Washington, D.C.) The Heffernan Issue July 23. 1932 When Napoleon first met Goethe he gazed in admiration at the great German poet, who was as impressive physically as he was brilliant mentally then he exclaimed: "Voila un homme!" Most members of the B. E. F. today hold General Pelham Glassford in a similar regard, and, in the words of Napoleon, we also say: "There is a man!" True, the trying circumstances of our seige of Washington may lead individuals to momentary outbursts against General Glassford. True, his duty in preserving order may run counter to our determination to be heard in behalf of the suffering millions. But underneath any surface conflict many of us feel that the general is a great American as well as a kindly gentleman. It can hardly be questioned that thus far General Glassford has handled a difficult job without exceptional success. By tact, discernment, and sympathy, he has avoided open ruptures which might have had terrifying consequences. Incomparably better than others in official positions at Washington, he had understood that the first veteran killed might be the beginning of a national upheaval. He knew that behind the veterans encamped at the Capital were millions of other distressed Americans anxiously watching every move. He knew that a spark in the powder-keg might become a conflagration sweeping this land from ocean to ocean. Others evidently have failed to read the signs of the time. Others have failed properly to interpret the resentment of the masses. God help America if it is ever left to an excitable poppinjay like Charlie Curtis. He would have Washington a shambles in twenty-four hours. He would have America a seething nation of disaffected citizens, crying their hatred at a misguided leadership. Manifestly, Old Call-Out-The-Marines Curtis is not the man to take command when coolness and good sense are needed. It is easy to talk of using strongarm methods. It is easy to talk of driving American citizens out of their Capital. BBu it is also well to remember the history of America. We are a great nation today because our forefathers were men of courage and resourcefulness. That spirit may slumber, but it is not dead. The first gun fired at Washington may once more be a shot heard round the world. The blood of veterans spilled on the Capitol steps would be a shameful blot on the pages of our history, to be read by horrified children for a thousand years. Not in that way does freedom ring. All this General Glassford knew instinctively. He has perfectly interpreted the feelings of the nation. He has sympathetically read the hearts of the jobless veterans. He knew that they were profoundly loyal to America and that they excoriated only those who debauched her. Perhaps at times General Glassford has fed us so much sugar that he won us over against our will. If he has done so, we salute him in his diplomatic victory. There may yet come open conflict, although the leaders of the B. E. F. try earnestly to avoid it. Some of us may yet have to die for our cause . . . ." IN THE REALM OF BOOKS BRAITHWAITE EDITS NEW ANTHOLOGY William Stanley Braithwaite, has recently edited another anthology. This work is under the title of "Our Lady's Choir" a contemporary anthology of verse by Catholic Sisters. Rev. William M. Stinson, S. J., Librarian, Boston College says of the book, "Seldom, indeed does a volume in its field appear. This anthology of contemporary poetry may justly claim such rare honor. Never before has an anthology of poems written exclusively by Catholic Sisters been presented to the public. It was proper that such a significant literary effort should have been honored by so beautiful a title—"Our Lady's Choir." "Many of us have for years followed the poetry that came to us from out of the convent cells wondering at the number of these cloistered singers, amazed at the unvarying quality of their authentic song, but to Mr. Braithwaite be the credit of being so thrilled with this unique poetry that he would not rest until he gained a worldwide audience for the virgin choir. He has given us a book that is a tribute to the high culture, the deep spirituality, of the various sisterhoods of the Catholic church."—Rev. Hugh F. Blunt. The first edition, in four sections, has been printed by Fred Anthoensen of The Southworth Press, Port. land, Maine. The anthology is printed in four editions ranging from $150, $35 $10, to $2.50 for the ordinary edition. "MARCUS GARVEY" The full title to a sixteen-page pamphlet, "Marcus Garvey, Is he the True Redeemer of the Negro," is written by Hucheshwar Mudgal, editor of the Negro Word, and a staunch and loyal supporter of the subject. The thought is divided into eight subjects: The Negro is Confuse. Marcus Garvey the Man; Garvey on Self-Help; A Negro Nation. Garvey's Daring Experiments Garvey and the Race Question in America: Garveyism is sweeping the Negro, and The Future of the Negro. In the first chapter, Mr. Mudga furnishes his own description and opinion of the Negro's present circumstances in America. This followed by a brief biography of Marcus Garvey and the condition in America when he first came here sixteen years ago. We are given a review of Garvey's undertakings, his plans, his enemies, and an explanation of his subsequent failures. And we learn of the resurrection of Garvey's plans by the formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of August 1929 of the World. Further, Mr. Mudgal states that the former enemies of Marcus Garvey are now practically sponsoring the same local domestic efforts and plans as those originally advocated by Marcus Garvey. Clifford C. Mitchell BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S SON EDITS FATHER'S SPEECHES E. Davidson Washington has edited a collection of selected addresses of his father, Booker T. Washington, which has been published and is ready for release by Doubleday Doran & Company, publishers. This is the same company that published Mr. Washington's "Un from Slavery." Mr. Washington stated that the book had been published after numbers of requests had come to the institution for copies of different speeches which Booker T. Washington had given. Many friends knew that the original manuscripts had been preserved and were in Mr. Washington's hands. Finally through the insistence of the public the book was prepared for publication. The introduction was written by Dr. James H. Dillard, late of the Jeanes and Slater Fund Boards and an intimate friend of Fooker T. Washington. Copies of the book are available to the general public by writing to Mr. E. Davidson, at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Although the book is just off the press Mr. Washington has received orders from leading educators, heads of civic and philanthropic organizations, as well as government and state officials. A number have been ordered by state superintendents of schools. One superintendent wrote that the book is being considered as a text by his department.

HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE CAMP PLEASANT RECEIVES 144 IN SECOND GROUP CAMP PLEASANT RECEIVES 144 IN SECOND GROUP Artistic & Rustic Program Rendered By Second Group Friday Night Camp Pleasant sent its second group of mothers and children home Sunday, and received its third group of 144, Tuesday, according to the report of the director, E. P. Lovett. Many of the mothers and children of this group have never been to the camp before. Various activities are planned and supervised. The swimming pool is quite an attraction these hot days. Each group renders a program on Friday night of their second week before they leave on Sunday. In an artistically decorated rustic setting the children of the second party of campers at Camp Pleasant presented before a most appreciative audience $ \varepsilon $ delightful program which was the result of the daily supervised instruction given to them during their ten days on the grounds. Novelty songs, patriotic airs, nursery school songs, folk songs of many peoples, and Negro spirituals formed the musical entertainment. Recitations for children composed by the instructor in dramatic art, Miss Gertrude McBrown, were interpreted by large groups of boys and girls. Probably the most enjoyable, and certainly the most humorous feature of the program was the dramatization of some scenes from the opera. "The Three Bears." In the "Studio," the latest addition to the camp, there was exhibited the work of the children and mothers in art and handcrafts. Steniled pillow tops, linoleum block prints and textiles and paper, original designs, soap sculptures, novelty painted jars, and stones lined the walls and tables of this work shop. The cleverly designed programs of the evening, with cut-outs of characteristic scenery of the camp, were also the work of the girls in their art class. Among the visitors to the camp on this occasion were Dean and Mrs. Kelly Miller, Dean Slowe, of Howard University; Miss Mary P. Burrill, instructor in voice culture and dramatics in the city schools; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, director of Mother-Child House in southwest Washington; Mr. Melvin Fox and his mother, Mrs. Alice Hyman, her mother and son, Mrs. Ruth Swann and husband, Mr. Edwin S. Potter, director of publicity of the Associated Charities; and J. A. G. LuValle, editor of the Washington Tribune. Impromptu Program of Councillor and Visitors After the program given by the children was over and the children had gone to bed, the councillors entertained the mothers, a few lingering visitors, and themselves. Miss Nora Drew and Miss Elizabeth Fry delighted the group with several interpretative and folk dances. Mr. G. Leonard Allen, camp musician, read three of his own poems, which have appeared in publications recently, and played many musical selections, among them being Dett's "Juba Dance," Miss Gertrude McBrown gave an artistic and impressive reading of Dunbar's "Speak Up Ike and "Spress Yourself." An interested and enthusiastic visitor was Melvin Fox, prominent actor in the Children's Theatre of New York, who interpreted in an effective manner many poems from "Southern Road" by Sterling Brown. The most outstanding and gripping of these was "Strong Men," which Mr. Fox read to the appropriate and novel musical accompaniment which was composed and played by Mr. G. Leonard Allen. One visit to the camp will convince anyone of the abundance of real talent and worthwhile activity there. Those who visit find it difficult to leave the pleasant surroundings of the hillside overlooking the Potomac. Two Held As Witnesses Following 7th Street Raid Following a raid at an alleged gambling house, 1834 Seventh street, northwest, Saturday, two men were arrested at the Second Precinct, held as Government witnesses and required to post a $100 bond.

Postal Clerks Endorse Prudential Bank And The Washington Tribune The board of directors of the Post Office Relief Association, No. 1, of the District of Columbia, an organization of three hundred postal workers, held a special meeting at the residence of its president, Jabez Lee, Friday morning at which time a resolution was adopted unanimously reaffirming confidence in the Prudential Bank and instructed the treasurer to continue depositing the funds of the Association in the Prudential Bank. Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the bank, was spoken of in the terms of very high praise. The news items published in the Washington Tribune were read and discussed. The position taken by the paper during and since the crisis at the bank struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the board members and the members of the organization.

Queen Mary, who received Lord and Lady Mountbatten at luncheon. Lady Mountbatten had previously been publicly accused of having an affair with an unnamed colored man and had been denied the privilege of attending social functions given by King George and Queen Mary. 32 BOYS IN FIRST GROUP AT CAMP OPENING MONDAY Camp Litchman Will Be Dedicated Sun.; Wilkinson, Johnson and Litchman To Speak. Camp Lichtman opened according to schedule on Monday, July 25, with the arrival of the first group of 32 boys from Washington. As early as 7 a.m., the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. was astir with staff members inspecting baggage, physicians making medical examinations, and parents bidding good-bye as their "little angels" were waiting for the signal to take them on their first mountain vacation. The trip was made without any mishap whatsoever, the boys hitting the trail for the last long mile. Wendell Tucker missed the bus, but went down with Dr. A. B. Jackson. Wendell held on tenaciously to his chicken sandwiches without the least expectation of a hot chicken dinner awaiting him at camp. He thought he would have the laugh on the other boys in the last mile, but he too had to get out and hike it as the car passed on into the forest. Tents were up and the dining hall shack was ready when the boys arrived. Carpenters were putting on the finishing touches, and a horse-drawn "lizzard" was carrying away the rocks. After dinner and an hour's rest, the boys, with Walker, the big congenial life guard, took their first dip in the newly constructed pool. Chief among shipments that went down from Washington was a large quantity of medical supplies donated by the Ethica Pharmacy, Dr. C. Herbert Marshall, Messrs. Walker and John Carter. A tent is devoted to the infirmary, with Dr. Carrol Brooks and Dr. Jackson as physicians in charge. Preparations are nearing completion for the accommodation of a crowd of visitors next Sunday at the dedicatory exercises, when Mr. Lichtman will formally present the camp and speeches of acceptance will be made by a camper, by Major Campbell C. Johnson, Garnet C. Wilkinson. Emory B. Smith will present Mr. Lichtman a testimonial engraved on parchment. Directions: Take route 211, Roslyn to Luray, just beyond entrance to Caverns, turn left on route 816 to Alma, turn right on 815 to Newport, go a mile and turn right and follow the signs into Camp Lichtman. FREEMAN CHILDR'N IN DANCE FESTIVAL Thousands View Groups' Performance At Sylvan Theatre Several thousand spectators witnessed the program of dancing and singing presented by the Mabel Jones Freemen dance groups, composed of children of Washington, at the Sylvan Theatre on the Monument Lot, Wednesday night. This was one of the summer festival offerings of the Community Center Department, the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks and the National Capital Civic Club. The terpsichorean and vocal numbers were interspersed with selections by the Community Center Band with Professor James Miller directing. The Arnold Aerobatic Dancers and the chorus of the Birney Community Center featured the program. The dexterity and natural grace exhibited by the youthful dancers drew waves of applause from the huge gatherings that filled the slope below the picturesque Monument. The singers displayed unusual melody and rhythm. Outstanding presentations were "The Spirit of Yesterday" and the "African War Dance" by the Mabel Jones Freedmen dancers; a music visulation including the "Blue Danube" and "Butterflies" by the same group; a soprano solo entitled "Good Night," by Edna Ryan; a Japanese melody called "The Golden Goddess" by Doris Carter, Beatrice Martin, and Eleanor Dixon, and "Enchantment" by the same group. Dramatic Club Of Virginia State Presents 'Dreamy Kid' Pettersburg, Va.—The Dramatic Club of the Virginia State College Summer School successfully presented three one act plays, before a large and appreciative audience, in the college chapel last Tuesday. The plays presented were Eugene O'Neil's "Dreamy Kid", Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Aria Dapo", and "The Saucer Burial", a scene from the famous stage play, "Porgy", by Dorothy and Debose Heward. "The Dreamy Kid", depicting the life of a Negro family who left the south and found difficulty in becoming adjusted to conditions in a northern city, was first produced by the Provincetown Players of New York. It was one of the first plays of tragic significance based on Negro life. In it Stephen Howe interpreted the title role, the "Dreamy Kid" himself, in a commendable way. Mrs. Mollie Johnson playing the part of "Mammy", Miss Alleen Rainey, as "Irenee", and the Kid's sweetheart, and Miss Katherine Toomer, as "Ceeley Ann", also played their parts in a manner which reflected credit upon themselves and their directors. In "Aria De Capo", an allegory, Carter Johnson as "Pierrot", Miss Cullee Cook, as "Columbine", D. Arthur Brookins, as "Thyrisis", William Partes, as "Carydon", and Clarence A. Pennington, as "Cathurous", all did excellent work. The play was enjoyed by the audience. "The Saucer Burial", from the Theatre Guild Production of "Porgy", reveals the beauty of quaint customs that exist among colored people of humble background in the south. It was well done; and, judging from the anlause of the audience, highly appreciated. OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER TO SAV ev. R. M. Williams is the pastor.

The exhibit which was on display at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., featured the Negro in the revolutionary period. Judges of the exhibit were James V. Herring, head of the department of art at Howard University; Felix Mahony, director of the National School of Fine and Applied Arts; and Clifford K. Berryman, cartoonist of the Sunday Star and Evening Star. Sewell won with the following paintings: "The Return of George Washington to Mount Vernon," "Death of Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre," and "Shooting of Col. Cairn by Peter Salem during Battle of Bunker Hill." Linwood Jordan Second Pen and ink drawings of Washington, his various homes and memorials and printing of mottos from the writings of Washington caused Linwood Jordan to run a close second in the exhibit. "The Unsung Heroes of the Revolutionary War" and "Pompyle Lamb" the spy of Stoney Point, by Howard Smith, and "Phyllis Wheatley," the first American poet, won honorable mention. A sum sufficient to award the prize for many years was raised by the commercial students themselves from the sale of original hand-painted post cards, According to Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, of the public schools, who announced the awards, this is the first scholarship given by pupils themselves in the public schools of the District. This art work will be on public exhibition during the fall in the art department at Cardozo High School. The work of the department will be a continuance on the part of the teachers and pupils to produce posters and pictures of the Negro in American history. Judges Make Comment In making the selection of award Mr. Berryman said, "The artistic posters of Richard Sewell and Linwood Jordan in the order named were excellently executed composition colors and general effect very, very pleasing." Mr. Mahoney commented on the work as follows: "I wish to say that I was delighted with the showing." Mr. Herring said, "The poster contest showed careful planning and fine execution for students of high school grade." Dr. John E. Washington, art teacher at Cardozo, instructed the students and planned the exhibit. A. M. E. Bishops' Salaries Reduced By 50 Percent Bishope of the A. M. E. Church found $200 instead of $400 in their pay envelopes this month. At the same time Dr. John R. Hawkins, secretary-treasurer, sent out notices stating that a 50 per cent reduction was necessary because of the general depression. The notices stated that the church was unable to borrow any more funds than an amount to pay half of the salaries. L. MELENDEZ KING TO HEAD PROPOSED LAW SCHOOL HERE L. MELENDEZ KING TO HEAD PROPOSED LAW SCHOOL HERE Plans Being Perfected To Open New Institution October 1 L. Melendez King, member of the District bar, has been named dean and will head a proposed new law school which will open about October 1. The school plans to offer an extensive one-year course in law of university grade. According to those who are fostering the project the new institution is intended to meet the requirements of three classes of students: those who wish to practice law in States in which the course and the students' preliminary qualifications meet the requirements for legal practice; those who do not wish to practice law as a profession, but merely to better qualify themselves for general business pursuits; and those who have already studied law and desire an extensive review before taking the bar examination. Classes will be held morning, afternoon and evening, thereby making the course available to all persons regardless of their business hours. A high school or college diploma, while preferred, will not be a necessary requirement for admission, where applicants can prove otherwise qualified. The faculty will be composed of persons with wide experience and a broad knowledge in the branches which they propose to teach. Mr. King has been engaged in the active practice of law in the District for a period of 35 years and has recently been admitted to the Virginia bar. He established the John M. Langston Law School here and served as its dean for 15 years. He voluntarily resigned about five years ago. Many of his students are successfully engaged in the practice of law in Washington and other States. The incorporators plan to undertake the purchase of a building centrally located.

The initiated members were invited by Exalted Ruler Sylvester H. Epps, to attend the school of instruction held at the home every first and third Saturday night by Lecturing Knight Harry C. Smith. The Marching Club committee journeyed to Annapolis, Md., to visit the Ancient City Lodge of Elks and complete arrangements for their picnic and dance to be held on Labor Day at the New Wright's picnic and bathing grounds. The chairman, Preston Myers, was accompanied by Bros. Charles H. Carter, Harry C. Smith, Artie L. Browne, Clarence H. Akers, Andrew Tillman, Frank Williams and Ulysses R. Browne. The first outdoor amateur night will be sponsored by the lodge at the home Friday (tonight). Wrestling, shadow boxing and dancing will feature the show. Wilbur Berates Voters And Congress Members Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, said in a luncheon address in San Francisco, July 22, that most representatives in Congress are "selected office boys" of their particular districts. "I defy you to name twelve men in Congress who have consistently fought for the national progress of the United States during the last year," he said. "It is basically and fundamentally necessary now that we work for the country as a whole and you people of the Nation can do your best in electing men to Congress, and set them free to work for a National Government." SECOND SECTION SOME GOSSIP THAT— "I ONLY HEARD" By And Rivers Are the boys hot? I'll say they are. But meantime I'm spilling the gossip. You know it's just as important to know what folks are saying as it is to know what folks are doing. So here's some low-down that "I Only heard": Pete Richardson does not like the conveniences, at his present residence and does not wish to remain for the full term of his lease. The Rev. J. C. Olden, formerly interested in C. Lucien Skinner's flight to Liberia, has been interceding in Pete's behalf. The parole board may act upon Pete's case soon. "I can feel for you, boy," especially when the current boulevard gossip is, "All the boys are shooting at Lottie." And Nineteenth and C streets, southeast. Doris Wilkinson says that she really didn't hear those wedding bells that the wags were talking about last week, and to prove her point, Charles (Red) Brooks has been the hoy friend for the past week. The wags had named Melvin Barker as fall guy, saying first, that it had already happened—with dad showing his displeasure; and secondly, that dad had turned thumbs down on the proposition before the hitching took place. All the while Doris is looking good and smiling pleasantly as she strolls along the boulevard. Not the least perturbed. The waters have calmed. The ladies, with the big bips, if the pictures in the "ag" and the "red flag" are to judged correctly, have about convalesced from Valerie Turner's "beach" party, at Suburban Gardens. The racketeers, ex-racketeers and social parasites are waiting for the next "freeble" while the mortified timid souls are recovering their composure. And Valerie is making the rounds showing her "receipt." Yes, I know you paid the bill, Valerie; the receipt isn't necessary. And the Bureau of Engraving. And now I must tell you of a long story—so long in fact, that I've decided to make it a serial story. It's about the Georgia boy who makes "good" in the big city. This is no story of a plain nobody, but the story of a man of contacts, who rubs shoulders with the big "politicians," who holds down a political job in one of the Government buildings that the taxes of dumb Washingtonians help to maintain, and who inspires awe in the timid souls of our citizens by prying into their private lives. "Now, is that nice?" Up from Georgia he came—I'll visit back home later—to help his political friends take charge of Washington through the aid of Republican politics. And how they talked! They were leaders of the race—not of voters. They could "bunk" the district attorney's office. They could pull strings at the White House. They could fix the newspapers, control public opinion through lodges and churches, put over the programs of their "bosses"—and get paid off. If you are interested in genteel rackets, either in politics, society, religion or business, be sure to follow each installment of "The Georgia Boy Makes Good." Louie Lautier will be an interested reader. Help him out, folks. And the 600 block of F St., N.W. Attorney Sylvester McLaurin is suing Assistant Superintendent Long, of the Washington public schools for damages. Mr. Long was in charge of the records which Mr. McLaurin was accused of tampering with. "Such bad taste, Mr. Long. You should keep your records open to Washington lawyers. They get away with anything—and even the cours of justice in carrying out their plans. Most certainly, Mr. Long, you are guilty of the 'false arrest' charge; but the kind-hearted attorney will not take you into the criminal court. No, indeed. He will simply give you all the embarrassment and annoyance that the red tape of civil actions afford. The poor Washington public—full of suckers—has always tolerated lawyers who heckle peaceful citizens through the courts; so what can you expect to do about it, Mr. Long?" And Franklin School. The wages of sin are terrible—especially when one keeps bad company and is hard-headed. Last week I told Bill Prather to stop in to get his home-town paper, but he paid me exactly no mind. He has continued his curb-stone conferences with Louise Lautier, special correspondent and gossip columnist of the "red flag." Now, Bill, you know how we "love" red, so you couldn't expect us to suppress this perfectly good gossip under the circumstances. Don't get scared, though, because I'm dishing only a little of your dirt. (Continued on page 19)
